Upstream the rampaging river has smashed dikes and spread bluff-to-bluff. In places it is 16 miles wide. At Council Bluffs, this tremendous amount of water has two courses. It can take hairpin turns and flow south under Ak-Sar-Ben and Union Pacific bridges…. Or, it can break through Council Bluffs’ levee system and flood two-thirds of the city.” Man Against the Missouri: A Document of 1952 About This Lesson This lesson is based on the Missouri River using primary and secondary materials available at the Council Bluffs Public Library. Dianne Herzog, Youth Service Manager for the Council Bluffs Public Library, and Beverly Fletcher, Education Volunteer, wrote this lesson.

Families cross the Missouri River daily to work in the metropolitan area. Getting Started Inquiry Question The Missouri River flows through the history of Council Bluffs, Iowa. How has the flooding Missouri River changed the ecology, history and geography of Council Bluffs? Setting the Stage The Missouri River is the longest river in the United States. It is 2,540 miles long. It drains all or parts of ten United States and two Canadian provinces. Its headwaters, the beginning of the river, are in the Rocky Mountains of southwestern Montana. The Missouri River ends when it joins the Mississippi River just north of St. Louis, Missouri. These two rivers together are the fourth largest river in the world. Like most rivers, the Missouri has an upper, middle and lower part. The upper Missouri begins in the Rocky Mountains and continues throughout Montana. The middle Missouri begins where the river leaves the mountains of Montana and moves onto the Great Plains. The lower Missouri begins just south of Yankton, South Dakota, and ends at St. Louis, Missouri. Council Bluffs, Iowa, is located on the lower Missouri River. For centuries the Missouri River followed nature’s annual spring flooding cycle. Melting snows in the headwaters caused April floods, while snowmelt and rain caused June flooding. The annual flooding cycle created a rich ecology for the Missouri River basin. Flood waters created from bluff to bluff wetlands and swampy areas that provided fertile breeding grounds for fish and fowl. Rich loam and silt were redistributed on river bank soil and the area’s geography was changed as new ox-bow lakes—in the Council Bluffs area: Big Lake, Carter Lake and Lake Manawa—and chutes—Boyer Chute— were created. But the annual flooding also caused the river banks to erode and the river itself was often filled with debris, making transportation on the Missouri River difficult and treacherous. It was not until the establishment of cities and farms along the Missouri River that the annual flooding cycle could be termed “destructive”, changing not only the geography, but also the history of the area. Kanesville, later known as Council Bluffs, for example, was established in the safety of the loess hills rather than on the river banks, as was its neighbor, Omaha. Because of a shifting river channel, another neighbor, Carter Lake, has been the center of state boundary disputes for years. Since the founding of Council Bluffs, there have been three major floods—1881, 1943 and 1952. Only the 1881 flood brought widespread destruction to the city. The hard sandbagging efforts of many citizens prevented flooding disasters in Council Bluffs in 1943 and 1952, although other nearby areas were not so fortunate. The 1943 and 1952 floods lead to the development of an extensive levee system around Council Bluffs and to the building of six dams by the Corps of Engineers further up river in North and South Dakota. These flood control measures have prevented any serious flood threats to Council Bluffs since 1952. The river has also been channelized and its banks stabilized. All of these measures have allowed for increased barge traffic, the development of riverfront property into lucrative commercial and popular public areas, as well as turning the Missouri River into a recreational destination. The “taming” of the Missouri River by this system of dams, as well as the channelization of the Missouri River, however, is not without controversy. Groups have cited the destruction of the wetlands and the loss of fish and fowl breeding grounds as a negative downside to the current flood control.

As the city develops the river front, how will flooding affect Council Bluffs in the future? Putting It All Together “The Flooding of the Missouri River” invite students to explore how the Missouri River flows through the history of Council Bluffs. Twice a year, the Missouri River would flood from bluff to bluff, sometimes making the river several miles wide. It has shaped not only the geography and ecology of the Council Bluffs’ area, but also its industry, recreation and people. The wild Missouri River has been tamed, but not forgotten. The Missouri River has always, and will continue, to shape the history of Council Bluffs. Activity 1: The Missouri River Is Changing Using the maps, discuss the changes in the Missouri River in 1880 1923, 1947 and 1976. What caused the Missouri River to flood? What are some effects or changes to the area? (To demonstrate this problem more to students, create a sand table in your classroom with a river. Demonstrate flooding of your man-made river and show how a levee or dike can stop the flooding.) Using a Venn diagram, the students should compare changes in the Missouri River. For example: Compare how the river would look before and during the flood. Compare problems of the Missouri River and solutions done by the Corps of Engineers. Compare and contrast the flooding of the Missouri River in 1881, 1943, and 1952. Activity 2: Think Like a Writer! Using the enclosed documents and photos, think like a writer and choose one of the following topics: 1) Write your own newspaper article about the Missouri River flooding in Council Bluffs in 1881, 1943, or 1952. 2) Using journal or diary format, students will write five entries about each of the floods in Council Bluffs in 1881, 1943, or 1952. 3) Pretend that you traveled to Council Bluffs on the Missouri River in 1943 or 1952; write a letter home to your family about your experiences with the flooding Missouri. Then design a postcard showing the Missouri River at your chosen time period. 4) Pretend you are in charge of evacuating the city of Council Bluffs in 1943 or 1952; research newspapers and then prepare the evacuation routes, locations and stocking of shelters, etc. of the city. What would be the cost of an evacuation? How many citizens were evacuated during those floods? Activity 3: Think Like a Debater! Choose one of the following debate topics to share with your class. 1) Research the state boundary dispute of Carter Lake. Then write your script and role play the Carter Lake state boundary dispute. 2) Write a persuasive speech or debate on: flooding, ecology, wetlands, or river channelization. 3) Research through the newspaper efforts to preserve the Loess Hills in Southwest Iowa. Then debate the preservation and destruction of the Loess Hills. Activity 4: Think Like a Mathematician! Solve ten math problems using Facts and Figures from Saga of the Sandbag and show your work to solve the problems. The first two math problems are written for you—1) If gas is $3.00 per gallon and each truck get 10 miles to the gallon and drives 5 miles a day, how many gallons of gas was used for one day for the 400 dump trucks? 2) If the Red Cross cared for 1,328 evacuees each day and it cost $2.00 for breakfast; $4.00 for lunch and $6.00 for dinner, how much would they spend each day, etc? Write eight additional math problems about the Missouri River flooding and then solve your problems and show your work. Activity 5: Showcasing History! Museum curators use artifacts or objects and primary sources to tell a story about a time or a person or even an idea in the Museum so that the public can understand and see interesting things. Choose one of the topics. 1) Take the sources enclosed and create an exhibit of your own about the Missouri River flooding? What part of this story would you tell? Choose sources to use and then write a paragraph as a label for each one. What would you name your exhibit? 2) Research the flora and fauna found around the Missouri River. Choose six plants and animals (three flora and three fauna). Then write a paragraph with an illustrated picture about each plant and animal that you chose. Create an attractive display board showcasing the plants and animals. As a class, invite another class to view your exhibits. Have this other class evaluate your displays?

Temperatures soared above 100 degrees, causing classes to be let out ea rly for almost three weeks. With afternoons free, students found plenty to do. "A bunch of us went cliffdiving in Logan when we got out of school early," said Craig Mauer. "It was scary because the cliff wall sticks out eight feet before it hits the waler, but that made it exciting, too. "After a while, we started to do some crazy stuff like jumping out of trees, just so we could get higher and jump farther." Once classes resumed full-time, students noticed a new face in the building.

Wilks understood the players' anticipation, and as AL's new principal, he shared their excitement. Along with Wilks came new ideas. His banning of the latea rrival policy sent students to their desks by 8: 10 a.m., whether they liked it or not. " I think it's stupid," said David Gau pp. "Students can leave a seventh hour study hall but can't be late for one first hour. I don't see the logic behind it." Second semester, Wilks introduced another brainchild. Students who had dropped out or were at risk due to family problems or past academic failures were offered an alternative. Designed to help them get credits needed to graduate or catch up, a night program called "School Within A School" was suggested. Planned for Room 111 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, the program was to include a remedial course in continued on page 5 +"My mom was the first one of about 20 people to hit me right square in the face with a pie.

Band and choir members made news, too. A recordbreaking 16 students qualified for All-State. For Kris Capel it was a dream come true. "Making All-State for four years is the greatest honor I could receive as a high school music student," said Capel.

But those who took the time to get the real scoop knew we were anything but typical. During Homecoming week, we revealed a unique side of our personalities as we donned horn rimmed glasses and polyester outfits, proving we were nerds at heart. "It was more than just coming up with the best costume," said Brian Stoufer. "It was a competition to see who could be the best nerd." Another one of our unique talents was unveiled as we performed the opera, Amahl and the Night Visitors. "Amahl was special because a group of kids got together who had never done an opera before and did something so wonderful that p eople in the audience sat and cried," said lead Teri Herron. Herron wasn't the only one to move an audience to tears by doing something unusual. As a surprise for their Christmas Dance dates, Molly Spann and Deborah Hogan had a tape made of the accompaniment to When I'm with You, by Sheriff. Before the dance, the girls played the tape and sang to their dates. "We told them we had a surprise and made them close their eyes, " said Spann. "When the music started, we told them to open their eyes, and we started singing. We thought they 'd laugh, but we sang so seriously, they c rie d ." Although some thought we were just like ever y one else, those who got t he real scoop knew we went out of our way to be a n ything but typical. -Michele White Doing odd jobs to earn a few extra bucks, betting a dollar for the thrill, or struggling to survive on our own, each of us found one of the biggest factors in our life was ... one 8 Speeial Edition Odd jobs offer bucks, freedom When the words "part time · job," conjured up visions of hard-nosed bosses, irrate customers, and Jong hours, some students opted to earn their bucks doing jobs that offered independence and convenience. Thirty-five out of JOO students polled said they relied on odd jobs for money. Some students said odd jobs provided them with more freedom and independence than a regular part time job. "Mowing lawns and painting houses gives me more freedom," said Jeff Steinke. "When I worked at One Potato Two, I wasn't my own boss." Babysitting also allowed students freedom from having a boss looking over their shoulder. "I babysit a ten-year-old named Casey Lorimor, who has Down's Syndrome," said Deann Klever. "He is the most loving, caring, and affectionate boy I have met. He tells me that he loves me and that I'm his favorite babysitter. He even asked me to be his girlfriend. He is so special to me." Twenty-three of the 35 students who relied on odd jobs said convenience was the main reason they chose odd jobs over part time employment. "I hoe beans for my dad in the mornings," said Jenny Schultz. "I live in Crescent so it's easier to do things around my house than drive into town."

There was $4 in the pot, and Hiffernan bluffed and took it all. "I was really taking a chance because I only had a three," he said. "If I'd Jost, I would have had to match the pot. I was pretty lucky to win." Of I 00 students polled, 92 said they gambled, and most cited easy money and victory as main reasons. "When I first started playing poker," said Bill Shipley, " I played only for the money. Chad Sumpter thought he was so great because he was winning some of the games, but I ended up winning all of the money, and the thrill of victory was worth almost as much as the money." Students said playililg cards and betting on sports were the most popular ways of gambling. "The week of the World Series, everyone in my neighborhood puts $1 in a big pool," said Mindy Workman. " One year I won $9. I don't bet a lot of money, so if I lose, it's no big deal, but it's really fun to win." Like Workman, more than half of the 92 students didn't bet large amounts of money. In fact, many found a lterna tives to money for betting. " Aimee Hayes and I played cards one night and we bet nail polish instead of money," said J enni Miller. " We bet on colLET'S MAKE A DEAL!

Gambling was popula r with most students and provided a way to have fun with friends. -K im Gift Self supporting students face tough times living alone L ayers of dust covered the two battered chairs, a table, and the few shelves in the sparsely furnished room. Piles of clothes littered any empty space on the old shag carpeting. The darkness of the afternoon almost hid the chipped paint on the wall where a huge picture of Jesus hung crookedly. For Jason Kuhn, a student who had been selfsupporting. for 10 months after his mother kicked him out of his house, this single room served as both the living room and the bedroom of the apartment that he .bad to call home. Like the other students who were self-supporting, Kuhn found that living on his own created many problems. Having to pay for all necessities didn't leave much money for the extras in life. "I have been wanting to buy a T.V. for a really long time," said Kuhn, "but I never seem to have enough money,_ because I need to pay $135 for rent on time every ~mgle month, plus I need other money to buy my grocenes." Angie Tilley, who was self-supporting for seven months before she decided to move back home, also found that money could grow very scarce at times. "When I moved out on my own, I had just enough money to get everything I needed to make it " said Tillie. ":hen I ~ot really sick and had to pa'y several doctor balls, which set me far behind on the rest of my bills. It's harder than anything to get back on top when you are out on your own. You don't have anybody to help you out!" The need for such large amounts of money forced self-supporting students to work between 30 and 40 hours a week just to survive on their own. In the case _of Alex Domingus, who didn't live on his o~n but. contnbuted half his pay checks to help support has fa m1l~, the hours at work were long and his job had to come farst before any extra-curricular activities. " I had bought tickets to the Halloween dance for my girlfriend and me, but at the last minute I was called to work, so we weren't able to go," said Domingus. "I felt really bad for my girlfriend, who wanted to go because she was really excited about it but I realized how much my family and I need the mon~y." Another problem that self-supporting students encountered was that because they had no one to answer to, school sometimes became a last priority. When instructor Jacque Hall conducted a study in her junior English classes, she discovered that the more hours students worked a week, the worse their attendance became. The study also showed that grade point averages decreased as student work hours TIME TO WASH. Getting ready to wash his clothes, J ason Kuhn stuffs them into a washing machine at a laundry mat. (Photo by Kristi Kuper) increased. "One night after work, I went out with some of my friends and partied until 3 a.m.," said Kuhn, "The next day I spent lying in bed sleeping instead of going to school. It's a lot easier to stay home now because nobody yells at me for skipping school." Those who took on the responsibility of becoming self-supportive discovered that along with the freedom, came several difficulties. -Haley El'ans Money 9 "When I bought my first piece of expensive jewelry, it was like a high," said Sarah Weber. " I was excited because I was finally buying a real ring, not one of the cheapies I used to buy at Claire's or Afterthought's for two bucks. I felt like there was something important on my fi ngers. I've been buying rings ever since." Weber wasn't alone in developing a taste for fi ne jewelry. Of students polled, 50 percent said they had spent at least $100 on a piece of jewelry, and 18 percent said they owned more than five pieces of fine jewelry. Students craved expensive jewelry because of its looks and durability. The most popular pieces included rings, watches, and necklaces. " If I'm going to spend money on a ring, I want it to be durable so it won't tarnish or bend," said Misty Moore. "I want to be able to wear it all of the time and not have to worry about taking it off to do dishes, shower, or work in the yard." The high cost of fine jewelry ca used many students to rely on store sa les, layaway pla ns, or loans. "When I bought my emerald ring, I took ha lf of the money from my savings account, a nd my mom a nd dad put up the rest of it," said Melissa Feller. "Then I made weekly payments of $20 to them until I paid them back." N o longer for nerds, it's GLASSES GALORE From polyester bell-bottoms to gaudy flowered skirts, from flyaway pigtails, to greasy, slicked-back hair, everyone interpreted Nerd Day differently. There was one thing, however, that everybody wore - a pair of coke-bottle thick glasses with masking tape across the nose. But times were changing. Glasses were no longer just for the Poindexters of America. They were becoming trendy fashion statements. Designer frames and the variety of looks they created prompted many to wear glasses. "I wear a green pa ir at Christmas because they ma tch the season," said Emilee Applegate. " I a lso wear a white pair with this totally black outfit for contrast." Fake glasses for under $IO allowed even those with perfect vision to wear fashionable frames. "I got fake glasses because I thought they looked good," said Jason Johnson. " People told me they make me look older and more intelligent. I have a young looking baby face, so I like to look older." Whether worn for variety or a new image, glasses were definitely not just for nerds. -Kelly Knudson PRECIOUS GEMS.

"I even went into Gigi's, and I hate that store," said Feller. Finally, the two approached the Dillard's men's department. "Right away I saw the shirt I liked, a purple and white striped Liz Claiborne shirt for men. Scott laughed when I went in to try it on, but he said he would wear it. I bought it and I love it." Like Feller, many girls preferred men's apparel to women's. A few years ago, such taste may have been labeled weird, but in 1990, simple style and comfort made men's clothing a perfect fit. Out of 88 girls polled, 63 said they wore men's apparel because it was comfortable. "It seems men's clothes are made bigger and looser around the shoulders," said Deann Klever. "Girls' clothes are a lot tighter." Janella Matter agreed. "Men's shirts are baggier and you have more room to inove around," said Matter. "I love that!" While most girls stuck to sporting shirts and sweaters, some found that men's jeans were more comfortable too. Using her Christmas money, Jill Comely bought a pair of men's Levi's. "They're cool and they fit better." she said. "They hang on your hips instead of your waist, so there's more room to move." Many girls agreed that although men's apparel usually was not cheaper it was a better value because it . ' was timeless in style. Nikki Johnson often wore Ralph Lauren Polo. "I have bought girls' shirts that I only wear a year, but I still wear my favorite Polo shirt that I bought a couple of years ago, and I know I'll even wear it next year at college," she said. "That's a real value." Not all girls found their first piece of men's apparel by shopping in a department store. Some accidentally came across it at home. "I ran out of clean clothes once, so I stole my brother's," said Matter. "I've worn his shirts ever since. He has great taste in clothes." Many found that once they started wearing men's apparel, it was hard to stop. "My boyfriend had super neat clothes, so I borrowed a shirt once." said Klever. "I got many compliments, so I started buying them." Whether the clothes came from the men's department or a brother's closet, more and more girls were discovering and loving men's apparel. -Lori Fehr W HICH ONE SHOULD I BUY!

But those who were married or planned to be married found that marriage wasn't a fantasy . " You must be responsible when you're married," said Lynn Ruckman, who got married at age 14. "Parents aren't there to run to anymore." One of the hardest things to lea rn was managing money. Shondelle Milligan, who lived with her fiance, said they both worked 40 hours a week to pay for housing and food . Couples also faced difficult conflicts with their parents. "My fiance won't come over unless my pa rents a re out because they're rude to him," said Julie Hollinger, who pla nned to be married in the spring. But most couples fe lt their problems could be overcome. " After we realized the need to budget, we lea rned how to pay our bills and have money left over," said Milliga n. Ruckman also learned to overcome problems. "When Mike a nd I would go to my parents' house, my mom would make rude comments," Ruckman said. " I told her to accept both of us or neither of us.

The answer was Dudley Miller's family, consisting of five boys and four girls who all had names beginning with the letter D. Large families weren't as common as they used to be, but families of four or more siblings still existed. "You're never alone, said Dudley Miller. "When we were little, there was always somebody around to play with, and there's always somebody home when you call." Trisha Alba also enjoyed her three brothers, one sister, and the idea of a new baby on the way. "You have to get used to not always being in the spotlight, but it's really a lot of fun," said Alba. "It's weird now because my mom is having another baby and I'm already .a junior in high school, but I'm getting used to the idea, and it'll be neat having a little baby around again to take care of and play with. My mom said this will be the last one, but I've heard that statement several times before!" The biggest adjustment these children had to make was to financial limitations. Becky Matter remembered one trip to the mall when those limitations kept her from getting new makeup because her little sisters had just gotten new clothes. "I felt jealous and unfairly treated when they got new clothes, and I couldn't even get makeup," said Matter, "but I have learned ·to accept it because I realize we have big bills to pay and we need more money than families with only a couple of kids." Most of these siblings agreed that they liked the size of their family, their own family plans were different from those of their parents.

"Everyone yelled 'Rose Bowl!' and put rose stickers on their cheeks because they were excited to be going to the Rose Bowl. "Towards the end, the refs were making bad calls, so people chanted 'Bad call!' and 'Go home!' We were so loud that Iowa got a penalty for crowd interference! That was one of the first times a visiting team got a penalty like that." Scenes of enthusiastic fans cheering wildly for their favorite teams were familiar to students who attended spirited pro and college games. Hockey fans said football games couldn't compare to the action-packed excitement found at Lancer games, a semi-pro Omaha team known for rowdy players and even rowdier fans. "The players push and shove each other on the ice," said Susan Wells. "The refs try to stop them, but the players fight anyway. We had rinkside seats once and in a fight, a guy's face was crunched up against the glass right in front of me." Unlike many high school games, fans at pro and college games paid attention to the game and got more involved in the action. " At high school games, people act too cool to support their team," said Jenifer Steger. "But at Lancer games, everyone wears Lancer hats, sweatshirts, or the team colors." Crazy crowd antics made even boring games memorable and amusing. " At the Nebraska-Utah State football game, Nebraska was winning by 35 points and it was a boring game," said Brian Swartz. "Some guys sitting near us decided to add a little excitement by making a chain by stacking plastic cups inside each other. "They yelled, 'Give us cups!' and everyone threw their cups at them. That yell spread from section to section, and pretty soon you could see cups flying all over the stadium, all in the direction of those guys. They finally got a giant plastic cup chain about 25-30 yards long." Going to pro, semi-pro, and college games for the spirit and excitement they provided was a popular pastime for many students. -Kelly Knudson PRO PLEASURES.

"We decided to have a party because people like to dance and we were tired of going cruising," said Hall. "When we counted heads, we had 75 people there!" Hall and his friends were like many students who believed that the two never-fail ingredients of a good party were music and friends. In a phone survey of 30 students, 17 said that music was essential to liven up a party. ."I'll never forget the time I went to a party and there ~asn't any music. Everybody JUSt sat around. It was really lame," said Lynnette Lee. "When the music was turned on, everyone started dancing and having fun." In addition to music, friends, old and new, added to the party's fun. Most students said that at least 30 guests were essential for a lively party. "It's the people that make parties so much fun," said Stephanie Knauss. "I would feel out of place if my friends were not at the party with me." No matter how stale the Challenging slopes result in . . .

This was going to be one run that she wouldn't forget. .Johnson had made up her mind ~hat morning that she was going to attempt to ski her first black, the most difficult run on the mountain. "Boy, was that a mistake!" she said. "I couldn't sit down for three days, I was so sore from falling. I ended up sliding d~wn the mountain on my butt with my skis in my hand." That fiasco took place almost three years ago. Now Johnson is an "old pro" at skiing black runs. Matt Clark was another " pro" skier who skied at CresCrescent on weekends. "I like trying new and dangerous things," Clark said. "Once my friends and I built a ski ramp and I was trying some new jumps. I went off the ramp and tried a 360 degree twist in the air. "I didn't quite make it all the way around and I landed backwards heading toward a huge tree. After hitting the tree, I learned my lesson. Now I always make sure that I look before I leap." Nate Henson had his own philosophy of skiing. "To be classified as a good skier you have got to be willing to try new and dangerous things," he said.

"There's nothing else to do in Council Bluffs that's legal," said Gina Miller, "besides bungie jumping out of hot air balloons, but that's harder to arrange." Lack of something to do wasn't the only reason students rented movies. "Admission costs so much I have to work two hours to see a movie," said Chad Hutchinson.

Meaningful, romantic lyrics weren't the only reasons students preferred to listen to country. "It's a different type of music," said Chad Nation. "It's a lot calmer and easier to listen to than stuff like heavy metal." The best country artists named by students included Alabama, The Oak Ridge Boys, Clint Black, and Randy Travis.

When the bell rang, she sped down the hallway and out the door. Slamming the door of her mom's car, she said, "Mom, hurry up! Days is on and we find out today if Steve dies!" Walker wasn't the only student who rushed home to catch a soap. A poll of 100 students showed 63 watched soap operas daily. Although some teens watched soaps only occasionally, most found the shows addictive. Deborah Hogan found she was addicted when she began giving up time with her friends so she wouldn't miss any episodes of her soaps. "I watch four soaps and I admit I'm addicted," Hogan said. "I gave up several chances to go to the beach last summer so I wouldn't miss my soaps." But girls weren't the only ones who became obsessed with the soaps. Fifteen boys admitted to being regular summertime viewers. "Last summer, my brother always watched Young and the Restless," said Dustin Fichter. "One day this guy locked up a girl, and I watched to see what would happen. When that problem was solved, there was another. I got hooked!" Although soaps were filled with kidnappings, murders, and affairs, students said situations in soaps were similar to those in real life. They said the situations were so real that they found themselves and their friends discussing the characters' lives as though they were real life acquaintances. "Soaps are fun to watch because the people do stupid things," said Chad Kenoyer. "I hate some of the characters, and it's fun to watch them get screwed over. I'll find kids who watch the same soap and talk about what happens." Some students even relied on soap hotlines or magazines to keep up with the characters. "I got four soap magazines on vacation once," said Kelli Smith. "Soap Opera Digest was best because it told what was going to happen. When I got home, I subscribed to it. Now I have every issue since '87." Whether they watched them occasionally or every day, most students found soap operas provided an enjoyable break from real life. -Kim Gift "DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GONNA GET MARRIED?"

Feel the heat I t was only noon and already students were slumped over their desks, totally drained of energy. As sweat trickled down their backs, they listened half-heartedly to the teacher's lecture and dreamed of their air conditioned houses. Little learning went on when temperatures soared into the high 90's for the first two and a half weeks of school. "My classrooms were absolutely dreadful," said Michelle Edie. "You could barely hear the teacher over the humming fans, and even if you could have beard the teacher, it wouldn't have made any difference because nobody was paying any attention. By the end of the day, the back of my shirt was wet with sweat and my hair was flat." Some relief was found from the unbeareableness of sitting through long, hot classes, however, when the school district allowed 11 early dismissals in the first 12 days of school. "I was so thankful for the half days," said Desiree Golden. "It was so bard to concentrate and stay awake in my morning classes because of the heat, and it would have been much worse if we would've had to stay in school all day long. We did get behind in our classes, but it was a relief to be able to go home to my air conditioned house." While shortened days seemed to benefit most students, some still had to continue with after school activities despite the sweltering temperatures. Cross country runners trudged wearily up and down hills for a half hour to an hour every day; volleyball players conditioned in a suffocating gym for two hours; football players, drained of energy from the unmerciful sun, continued to do drill after drill for as long as three hours every day after school was dismissed. "Practice was awful," said Scott Bradenburg. ''My helmet felt like an oven, and I thought my head was going to explode. Sometimes it got s~ bad that I couldn't even concentrate on our drills. One guy even fell down and started vomiting, but he didn't quit. He could have used the heat a~ 1 cop out to get out of practice, but he kept going. We all did." Although early dismissals from school were greatly appreciated, most felt they would rath;r h have endured full days of school than suffere t e stiffling heat of a prolonged summer. • -Melody B11raJ• COOLED OFF.

"If more Republicans get in office, people will have more money because of safer economics," said Reed.

The movie, Indian Runner, which was directed by and starred Sean Penn, was a drama a bout two brothers and their relationship after one returned from Vietnam. The movie's location in a Victori a n style house on East Gra ham gave students a behindthe-scenes look a t a few show business secrets. "There was a funeral scene and it was really funny because everyone was all dressed up and wearing tennis shoes," said Amy Springer, who lived over the hill from the house. "It was also neat when they filmed inside because they used a sheet and a yellow light at the window that made it look really sunny outside." In addition to learning Hollywood secrets, students were able to meet the cast and crew. "I spent a lot of time on the set," said Ann Killion. "I met most of the cast and crew, including Sean Penn. "Everyone was really nice and down to earth. They're normal people like me and you." -Melody Barajas TAKE TEN!

He pressed firmly on the cap 34 times until a huge glob formed on the top of his head. After slicking his hair back smoothly, he reached over to a roll of toilet paper, tore off a long piece, and stuck it in the back of his brown bell bottom pants, making sure that a few inches stuck out of his waist. Stoufer was just one of a couple hundred nerds who came to school Oct. 9 with glasses, butterfly collars, and an apple for the teacher. "I tried to dress up every day during Homecoming week," said Stoufer. "When I got ready for school on Nerd Day, I wanted my hair to be plastered to my head. I already had all of the essential nerd paraphernalia, but I figured the toilet paper effect would just top it all off." Rummaging through attics, digging through boxes in the garage, and taking trips to Good Will became a pastime, as students searched for outfits to wear for each dress up day and tie in with the theme "Get Up." On Cowboy Day, students came in highheeled boots, plaid shirts, cowboy hats, and stirrups. Lassos were strung from belts, and several people carried stuffed horses. For Sixties Day, students hunted through their parents' closets to find bell bottom jeans, John Lennon glasses, psychedelic shirts, and love beads. Picket signs waved, finger strummed guitars, and students swayed back and forth to the beat of Bob Dillon at a sit-in during homeroom. "I had a great time at the sit-in," said Jenny Schultz. "Everybody was just hanging out, singing old sixties songs, and pretending they were smoking, even though it was just rolled up paper." Toga Day brought the Roman and Greek era to school as students came dressed as gods and goddesses with leaves woven through their hair and sheets draped around their bodies. Sheets were also laid across the floor as students made them into banners for the pep assembly and game on Friday.

"We also pasted real fe athers on it to get the point across tha t we wanted to 'pluck' the Central Eagles. We were surprised when we won first place because this is the first homeroom event we have participated in in the three years we've been here. " After four exciting days of transforming themselves into cowboys, nerds, hippies, and goddesses, students wore the school colors on Friday, smearing their hair and faces with bright red and blue paint. When school was out Friday, students rushed out of the building, excited to return within the hour to decorate their cars in the parking lot for the car rally. Streamers, helium balloons, and posters of red, white, and blue covered every inch of the cars they drove to Council Bluffs Stadium. After arriving there, more than 150 students played games, which included a race around the track in shopping carts, tug-of-war, and a relay called citrus necking, where students passed oranges between their necks. "I thought there was more involvement than in other years," said Kris Capel, student council representative. "The cars in the rally went back hundreds. of ya rds, and everybody was excited to compete m the games at the field , especially tugof-war." After suffering a 28-7 loss to Omaha Central's Eagles, fans journeyed to Mall of the Bluffs, where the yearbook signing party was held for the third year in a row. Homecoming week ended on Saturday night with the dance, sponsored by the student council. " I was surprised so many people stayed for most of the dance," said Jessica Mankin. "I didn't think they would because it seemed like everybody came stag, but the DJ was so much better this year because he actually played the songs that people requested." Halfway through the dance, coronation was held, and seniors Heidi Workman and Brian Swartz were named Homecoming king and queen. " I was so honored to be chosen for Homecoming queen," said Workman. "It seemed like forever before they a nnounced who the winners were' It was a n honor to know that I was well liked by the whole school, and not by just one class."

But despite the mess, the mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air, tantalizing everybody's senses. Spann's kitchen appeared this way after a crazy c;ookie making contest at her traditional Halloween party. Before the festivities, Spann's mother had prepared a huge bowl of cookie dough and a variety of special ingredients - candy, cinnamon, and coconut. She then gave each team of two I 0 minutes to create either the best looking or the best tasting cookie. "We made the perfect girl," said Gere Nelson. "She had Milk Duds for boobs, and she was wearing a caramel bikini. She had coconut for hair, red-hot cinnamon candies for eyes and nose, and cinnamon sprinkled all over her so she look tanned. She looked perfect before she went into the oven, but after she was baked her hair was fried, her boobs and swimsuit me,lted, and she looked like she'd gained a hundred pounds." Other holiday festivities included a dance sponsored by DECA, and a hayrack ride. At the DECA Halloween dance, Oct. 26, long black streamers dangled from the ceiling, creating a dark tunnel into the cafeteria. Inside, crookedly smiling jack-o-lanterns stood guard while costume-clad students jammed to the music. To add to the atmosphere, six sexy Chippendales, dressed in spandex running tights and bow ties, entertained the crowd and danced with girls for just 50 cents. "The Chippendales really didn't make much money," said Troy Gibler, DECA member, "but they were all a bunch of hams, and everyone had a total blast with them." At the dance, costumes were judged in several categories, including funniest, scariest, and mo~t original. Susan Wells, Jenny Wellman, Craig Mauer, and Molly Spann claimed the title of most original for their four-car train. "Jenny and I went to Super Yalu and picked out huge boxes," said Wells. "The biggest one was for the engine, and the smallest was for the caboose. We cut out openings for our heads and then painted them different colors." DECA's dance wasn't the only place students gathered. To escape the ordinary trick-or-treating routine, one group decided to have a hayrack ride and bonfire at Shady Lane Ranch . . "We were planning on going trick-or-treating. but we decided we were too old so we planned a hayrack ride instead," said Wells. "It was a lot of fun, but I missed getting tons of candy. ". Whether making cookies, dancing, or going on hayrack rides, students managed to celebrate Halloween in the most exciting ways. -Michele White T ricked by the treat of a rubber s nake, S hannon Black, Jacki Hayes, Tiffany Ryder, and Nikki Hartzell get a good la ugh at Dr. A s Michelle Kinnecom shares a dance with Chippendale Shawn Hatcher at the Halloween Dance, she sings along to "The Humpty Jim Kalar's home in T imbercrest.

Like the rest of the country, Walker had learned that just 19 hours after the Jan. 15 deadline set by the UN for Saddam Hussein to remove his troops from Kuwait, America was at war with Iraq. Although there had been a possibility of war ever since Kuwait was invaded in August, Walker said she was shocked at the news. "When I found out, I didn't cry very much," said Walker. "I just stood there shaking and thinking, 'My brother is there.'" While reactions of shock were common, some experienced more extreme emotions. Lynn Ruckman, whose husband was stationed in Saudi Arabia, was on the phone when her mother-in-law told her to go watch the news. "After they said we were at war, I just ran to my room and started crying," said Ruckman. "I don't think I got more than one hour of sleep the whole night." For others, news of the war took time to sink in. "It didn't really hit me until I saw the effects of Israel being bombed," said Shannon Flynn. "On the news they showed a man screaming, 'Can anyone tell me where my parents are?' That really made the war real." Once the war started, students began to voice strong opinions on America's actions. Out of 100 students polled, 82 said that they supported the war. "I think going to war was necessary," said Chad Sumpter. "I think Hussein is insane, and President Bush is doing the right thing by sending our troops to the Gulf." Other students said they felt going to war was wrong. "I'm against the war," said Scott Wheeler. "It's stupid to waste precious human lives over oil. We could've continued peace talks. The U.S. manipulates the world for its own interests, and if Kuwait had been worthless desert, we wouldn't be over there." Whether students were for or against the war, it was an experience they would never forget. "I've never known what war was like," said Walker. "Th.ey just seemed like fairy tales. Now I'm faced with reality." -Karen Bark.er SA UDI SUPPORTER. To show her support for her husband serving in the Gulf, Lyn Ruckman ties a yellow ribbon around the lamp post in front of her house.

This year, I wanted to give you something that is priceless, something that can't be bought or sold. I "So because of our friendship, there is one less angel on the Salvation Army's angel tree. A little girl named Marriah will find a brand new book under her tree. My gift to you is the smile of a child when she finds out Santa didn't forget her this year." Those were the words of a Christmas letter written by Kristina Kachulis to her best friend, Heather Ellingsen. "I was honored that she would give me that gift for Christmas," said Ellingsen. "She knew that I wouldn't be offended by getting a gift like that. It's good to know that she thought I wasn't selfish, and that she appreciated our friendship. I was so happy I cried." Kachulis wasn't the only student who tried to make the Christmas season memorable for more than the long lines, extra expenses, and thousa nds of calories it brought. When the time arrived for student council's annual food drive, members wanted to give something back to students for making the food drive successful in past years. They agreed to organize a volleyball game between intramural champions Bones II and the varsity team. Fifty cents or two cans of food got students in, and the proceeds went towards the food drive. "It ended up being successful," said Curt Kenoyer. "I think the kids were willing to give more when they could participate in the activity." Although homerooms weren't heavily involved in the food drive, they still were given a chance to compete in the third annual decorating contest. While most homerooms decorated a tree, strung lights around the room, and pasted Sant.a on the door, a couple homerooms used their creativity to create a fantasy land in school. Instead of using construction paper, snowflakes, and wrapped boxes as props, instructor Steve Swee's homeroom used students. "We wanted to participate in the judging, rather than standing there while the judges wrote numbers on a paper," said Jodi Stansberry. "Misti Stewart and I acted like jack-inthe-boxes and popped up and down when the judges came in." While most classroom decorations were finished in the middle of December, the big gym wasn't started until the 14th, when Foreign Exchange Club members spent 15 hours creating a wonderland of red, green, silver and white for Christmas Dance.

"We wanted to make the Christmas Dance really special this year so we made the theme 'Dear Santa: For Christmas I Want " ' said Tori Christie. "We made the tickets into 'little scrolls that looked like Christmas lists." Many students also went out of their way to make the dance extra special for their friends and dates. Jason Arnold helped create a never-to-be-forgotten outfit for his friend, Jim Godsey. "Jim asked me to make his outfit " said Jason Arnold. "We went out and boug,ht this gold metallic material to make a vest and a pair of MC Hammer pants. Jim and I worked on the pants together, but Mrs. Ford ended up making most of the vest because we had a lot of prob- lems." Amy Andersen, Cathy Mauer, and Elisa Benson. prepared an exquisite Oriental dinner for their dates, complete with crab rangoon for hors d'oeurvres and a three layer chocolate torte for dessert. When the last week before Christmas finally arrived, club parties seemed to be the highlight. Students agreed that gift exchanges were the best entertainment during parties, especially when pranks were involved. "Melody Jaco never checks her oil, changes her oil, or even thinks about it," said Kristi Kuper. "So for the yearbook Christmas party, I got her six bottles of oil. The look on her face was great." Girls' basketball players busily made their own memories once school was out and they entered the Holiday Tournament. After winning two games, they made it to the semifinals held at the Civic Auditorium. "We wanted to play in the 'big barn,' as Mr. Brown calls the Civic Auditorium," said Heather Haines. "We were really upset that we didn't play for the championship, but Mr. Brown told us we should be proud. "Before the tournament, he told us that if we made it to the 'big barn,' he would shave off his moustache. So one day at practice, Kim Moore showed up with a razor and shaving creme, and his moustache was gone." Through special gifts, unforgettable evenings, and creative jokes, students made this holiday season the most memorable it could be.

Q~ickly exchanging glances with Wesolowski, Herron began substituting lines from other parts of the pla~, and the scene continued without a single audience member noticing that anything was wrong. "We were able to. pull it off because we knew each other so well as an actor and actress," said Herron. "We just looked at each other.

Drama students found that friendships which developed during their productions not only saved the day on stage, but also continued off stage. "At first Mike Sund, Jason Burkum and I didn't know each other very well," said Matt Allerton, who had the role of one of the three kings in Amahl and the Night Visitors. "But because we were all leads, we started to talk and socialize more. Now, we're all really good friends." In the rehearsals for the musical Grease, working together well became even more important when, for the first time, students choreographed the dances. "When we'd make up a dance, Eric Potter and I would first play the song that the dance was for, " said Peggy Murray. "We'd both do some dance steps, and then we'd take the steps from each other that we liked and combine them 1 into one dance. There was a lot of teamwork involved." Although they were always working ha rd, t~e cast of Grease still found time to have fun while rehearsing. "One of the scenes that we had the most fun with was the scene at the school dance," said Kim Bass. "We'd start joking around with the different dance steps, and we got to do some that were really fun, like when Mike Angeroth had to flip me over his head. It turned out great!" Whether it was by saving each other on stage, forming new friendships, or just having fun, dr~­ ma students found that teamwork always paid off in the end. -Karen Barker T o practice the last act in Grease, Jason Rogers, Peggy Murray, Carrie S pa nn, Kristi Neff, Matt Allerton· and Angel Walker sing "We go Together" at a rehearsal March 4.

As the soldiers stepped off of the bus, applause echoed throughout the parking lot. After hugs were given to friends and family, the soldiers got back on the trucks and led a homecoming parade throughout Council Bluffs in their honor. One returning soldier, Dirk Petersen of Amarillo, TX, spoke to two AL classes about his experiences in the Gulf. He told the students that the support the troops received was unbelievable. "The American people supported us so much that it made us proud to be over there fighting for our country," he said. "I received at least 40 to 50 letters every day from kids who were 3 years old to elders 98 years old, and I made sure that I wrot~ every one of them back." From the first day be arrived in Saudi Arabia, Petersen said he trained more than 12 hours a day in 130 degree temperatures. He said that for three months, the troops went without deodorant, clean clothes, and showers. When they did have water, they saved it in their canteens for drinking. Their only food was dehydrated, and because of limited space in their bags, soldiers could carry only two PROUD AMERICANS. After a safe return home lo Council Bluffs, soldiers from the 9JSth Transportation Company await the beginning of a parade in their honor at the K-Marl parking lot April 26.

Although he spent the majority of his time training, Petersen said the thought of death occasionally crossed his mind. "My biggest fear was being shot in the back and being paralyzed for the rest of my life," Petersen said. "When I was fighting on the front lines, there were Iraqi soldiers aiming for me the whole time. I had to constantly move around to prevent myself from being shot. Even when they finally began to surrender, we made sure that they stripped their clothes off in case they bad bombs wired to them." Although the United States won the war, Petersen felt there was unfinished business in the Middle East. "At times I really wondered if I'd ever make it back home, but I still wished that we would've gone all the way to Baghdad and killed Saddam Hussain," he said. "Now, in another seven or eight years, he can do the same thing all over again, except next time, it will be my brother fighting him." -Krissa Rossbund HOME AGAIN.

"Also, it was only 3:45 a nd there were lots of students still here, so the kids could practice performing in front of people." That was just one example of the creative techni ques drama students developed to work with young children in the department's production of Pinnochio. "It took a lot of patience to keep the children focused because they were not used to theater discipline," said Jason Burkum. "But it was a great experience working with kids who aren't already burned out on everything." Carrie Brookheart recalled one practice when the children performed a lmost flawlessly. they blocked their places and perfected their lines, not one of them got frustrated with themselves or anyone else." To motivate the children, high school students gave a special gift to each child before every one of the eight successful performances, which were seen by 1600 people in April. -Amy Stairs MAGICAL MOMENT.

While most teachers accompanied students there because of mischief, Nelson escorted Conaway there to matchmake for him. When Conaway didn't find an AL student as a date for Prom, he decided to look elsewhere. After hours of persuading and nudging, his debate class talked him into asking a girl from Des Moines whom he had met at a debate tournament. Since he didn't feel comfortable asking her over the phone, Nelson had the idea to send a letter over the school's FAX machine. "It was really embarrassing because her school wouldn't accept a message for a student," said Conaway. "We told her principal that it was information about nationals so he finally said it was okay. The secretaries were down there laughing the whole time." Like Conaway, several students thought of Prom as one of the biggest events of their high school years and were willing to do just about anything to make the night a memorable one. For some students, that meant following tradition by going out for dinner and attending the dance. For others, it meant using their creativity to do something unique and classy while their classmates were promming. For many attending the dance, money became no object. " It cost us $310 to rent a limo for six hours but it was a lot of fun," said Dave Gaupp. "J.R. Pearson and I took our dates to the Cafe de Copia, where we had a $90 dinner. Even though it was really expensive, we had a great time and it was worth all the money. Besides, after the dance, we went to the post Prom party where we won a couple of t-shirts." . For some, the evening was so special that 1t seemed almost like a fairy tale. . ., "We went to Maxine's and had Steak Diane, said Susan Keast.

"We wanted to create a place where everybody would feel special," said Tori Christie. "The pastel colors that we used for our decorations made it look magical. I think that everybody really liked how it looked, especially with the pearly gates and the castle. We got several compliments on the decorations and effort that we put into it." Many of those who didn't go to Prom wanted to feel special too, so they made plans for unique outings. "I wanted to go out on Prom night even though I wasn't going to the dance," said Kristi Kuper. "So a bunch of my friends and I went to V. Mertz's for dinner. This waiter came out to tell me that my dinner would be late because they screwed up the order. "I told him that was no problem, but the manager felt really bad about it, so they gave me a $30 meal absolutely free. It was great to have all of those Frenchmen sucking up to me. It's one night I'll never forget." Some even traveled out of town to make the most of the night. "I went to Prom last year and I had an awful time," said Sarah Chambers. "I thought it was a terrible waste of money, so I decided to get some friends together and go to Kansas City. We stayed the night there and went to Worlds of Fun the next day. I had lots of fun, and I didn't spend tons of money." Whether or not they attended the dance, most students went to the post Prom party. "The night was going well before I won my VCR, but that really made the night," said Haley Evans. "I was so excited because I've never won anything in my life.

A beach ball flew into the air, streams of silly string sailed over heads, and condoms filled with confetti floated across the gym. The scene was Commencement 1991. A row of girls still waited to receive their diplomas. Their names were called, but no one probably heard them over the commotion. Just moments earlier, graduate Eric Hamilton ~ad created his own fun by spraying Don Sche1.beler, class sponsor, with silly string as Hamilton received his diploma. "I got up on the stage and said 'Scheib, I'm gonna squirt ya,"' said Hamilton. "He said 'You better not," but I did it anyway. I meant for it to be a joke because Scheib and I are friends, but he didn't take it that way." Scheibeler had Hamilton's diploma pulled and placed on Mr. Wilks' desk. To get it, Hamilton had to listen to a lecture from Wilks. The graduates' actions during the ceremony left some parents and students with feelings of anger, disappointment, and embarrassment. . "I was really ashamed that we were graduating young people with little respect for each other, parents, and relatives who came to celebrate a good thing,'' said Carolyn Moore, a mother. "Instead, they watched chaos that was disrespectful to people and the school." Rosalie Wagman, one of the last graduates to receive a diploma, agreed that members of her class were acting disrespectfully. "I was upset because they started using the silly string and other stuff when only our row was left," said Wagman. "They were rude. They could have waited until everyone had received a diploma before they went wild." Some of the graduates defended their acti.ons, though, as just an attempt to have a good time. "I didn't think we were disrespectful to the girls whose names hadn't been called,'' said Ron Handsaker. " We were just having fun." . Although students may have acted irresponsibly at the ceremony, those actions didn't reflect the academic achievements of the Class of 1991. The class had 14 State of Iowa Scholars, and six of them had maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout high school. . Though some believed the class had taken its fun to the limit, there could be no doubt tha t the graduates' antics and academics had earned them a place in AL history. . -Michele White Tearfully, senior choir members perform together for the last ti.me.

He was acting as Poseidon in a film on Roman history made by the seventh hour Latin class. To make the film, the class divided into several groups with each group responsible for researching and writing the script for their section of the show. "Each group bad a director responsible for making sure each group bad enough research," said Clayton Westervelt. "We spent over a week researching in the library and we even rented a couple of videos. After the research, the groups built props, such as swords from wood, shields from rubber garbage cans, and chariots from shopping carts. "We took a shopping cart and turned it around so the end you push is the front," said Shawn Hatcher. "Then we cut out the front of it and cut a hole in the bottom so that the operator could stand up." Although they spent time researching and making props, the filming was the most time consuming and e the most fun. "Every time we goofed up, we got to watch it over and over because it was on video tape," said And Smith. "In the gladiator scene, I was attacking Chris Jones with my sword and he threw a net over me, but when he yanked the net back, he broke my sword. I yelled, 'Hey, you broke my sword!'

Concert Choir learned 26 pieces to sing at seven performances and 60 of its 70 members participated in small group contest at Sioux City North E nergy seemed to pulsate throughout the auditorium as the choir sang its last note of "My Country'Tis Of Thee." Then, as director Lee Spann waved his hand in a cut off signal, the entire choir fell silent, leaving its audience engulfed in the aftermath of the piece. What followed the short silence was a standing ovation that nearly shook the walls of the small auditorium. " I think the song turned out so well because of the timing," said Terri Heron. "We had just won the war in the Gulf and everyone was feeling good about being American, and it showed in our singing. "By singing such a patriotic song, we were able to reach down and touch peoples' hearts. It was a very special moment." The spiritual rendition of "My Country 'Tis Of Thee" was performed by the 150-person choir as the grand finale at the Late Winter Concert March 19. BOOM! That's how the idea to write a jazz vocal for New Design came to Brent Peterson, vocal music student teacher. The song was called "No Strings Attached," and Peterson got the idea after first hearing the New Design perform at Northwest Missouri State. " I woke up at 2 a.m. and started writing," said Peterson. "I got the idea from a phrase Steve Urkle said on the show "Family Matters." I had watched the swing choir perform "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," but I knew they could do a more challenging piece, so I wrote them one" When Peterson introduced the song, it was a success. "Everyone thought the song was really cool," said Kim Bass. "It seemed really special that he would write a song just for us." " No Strings Attached" was choreographed and performed by New Design at the Encore concert May 21. p eer pressure takes its toll as Sandy (Sarah Weber) is talked into smoking by Rizzo (Kris Sund), Jan (Kris Capel), Ma rty (Molly Spann), and Frenchie (Megan Caputo) in a scene of Grease.

" Snickers filled the auditorium stage as a group of embarrassed Young Design members practiced executing the command that choreographer John Gibson had just screamed up at them. "It was the last rehearsal before their first concert," said Gibson. "And they were standing there like sticks. They weren't showing me any emotion. So I gave them some advice to liven them up." Most Young Design members felt that Gibson's crazy humor and off the wall comments were one of the things that made Young Design fun. "Mr. Gibson is so funny," said Erica Warren. "He'll make fun of you if you're doing something wrong, but he doesn't hurt your feelings; instead he makes you laugh and try to do better." Young Design practrced their routines an hour every Monday night with Gibson. igh notes are not a problem for sopranos Penny Jones, Mica Smith, and Kristi Neff as they rehearse in a practice room.

Although they were performing for the Mid Day Optimists at the Best Western Motel, most New Design members felt they were singing their last song for New Design member Bob McClary, who sat silently in the audience. It was the last performance McCiary would attend before leaving for the Army. "Our last performance with him there was sad," sa id Kris Capel. "We knew there was a good chance that he could be sent to the Gulf, and it was our way of saying goodbye to him." Other people said more personal goodbyes with letters. " I wrote him that I would pray for him, and I supported him. We all did," said Desiree Golden. YO NG DESIG N. FRONT ROW: Jason Rogers, chel Krouc h. Kristy Wes!, Mary Ryan, Juli e AnJa ime Bolinger.

But for a few members of the cast, the night was not over. "After a performa nce you a re on such a high from a ll the excitement," said Eric Potter.

"It was rea lly nice to be a ble to get together as friends a ft er the musica l," sa id Spann.

Newspaper staffers wrote 149 stories and 39 briefs, brainstormed 188 headlines, took 70 photos, and sold 156 ads for their seven monthly issues of the paper S lumped tiredly over the computer screen, newspaper editor Danielle Nelson tried to make her editorial copy on the death penalty wrap around a drawing of an electric chair for the March Echoes. After trying different methods using Pagemaker software for three hours, Nelson realized she had to move her story line by line, a process that would take another three hours. "Sometimes I was so frustrated that I just wanted to strangle Kevin Sharpe, our student teacher, for giving me the idea in the first place," said Nelson. " I could've just sa id 'Forget it' and made the copy in a square like we a lways do, but since I started it and knew it could be done, I couldn't stop. I also knew it would look good and I would be proud of it. " Dedication like Nelson's to perfecting the design of the paper paid off as the Echoes won more than seven local and state awards for design, including first and second place in the state. A fter unsuccessfully calling area shelters to find a student to interview for a story she was writing about poverty, Jackie Daley didn't know where else to turn for help. Fortunately, a yearbook staffer suggester that Daley interview Alex Domingus. "I had talked to people from metro she! ters and they gave me some facts, but I still needed a personal story," said Daley. "I was uncomfortable at first because the subject was so private, but Alex was very professional and made me feel comfortable. "Besides opening my eyes to poverty, it was a good experience because it taught me how to interview people about difficult subjects. Although it was the hardest story I wrote, it's the one I'm most proud of." Daley's and co-author Theresa Varner's determination was well rewarded when the double-truck their story was on, " Money Talks," won four national, state, and local awards. ry the pepperoni," Ericka Wellma n says to Jason Johnson as they feast at the newspaper Christmas party.

Once at the ramp, the girls lay down in a line and prepared for take off. "Go!" somebody yelled. Right on cue, 10 bodies rolled recklessly down the ramp. "We must have looked like a bunch of loons," said Aimee Hayes. "I got ran over by somebody, and I hit. my head on the side of the ramp, but it was fun. I never thought a yearbook party could be so interesting." After their ramp extravaganza, everybody raced into the gym to play Ring Around the Rasey and other childhood games. Before getting totally crazy, yearbookers exchanged gifts and had a potluck dinner in the yearbook room. "The Christmas party was fun " said Karen Barker. "Since I was' new to the staff, it really gave me a chance to get to know everyone better." 0 ne Monday worknight a group of yearbookers mischievously sneaked out onto the roof to get some fresh air, only to be hauled back in by a custodian. On another night, Gere Nelson and Lori Fehr climbed out a yearbook window and sat on the ledge, waving at those below. And on any worknight, staffers could be seen escaping the frenzied atmosphere of the yearbook room and retreating to the silence of the hall, despite the uncomfortableness of the cold, hard floor. These were just a few of the places staffers went to escape pressures of deadlines, revisions, and failed photos. "Sometimes worknights make you feel like screaming," said Kelli Smith. "So we went up to the roof, but a janitor caught us and chased us back down." Whether it was a quiet corner in the room or a window ledge, most staffers agreed that when it got a little too hectic to bear, they had to find somewhere or something to remedy the tension of Room 234. atiently, Melody Ba rajas listens in the hall at worknight as Haley E1·- ans explains a problem she is ha1·- ing with her first story.

Finally, I had Melissa Feller help me conduct an interview." Finally, Fehr was ready to write, but thinking up a lead wasn't as easy as she hoped. "I spent a worknight trying to decide on a lead," said · Fehr. "When I turned it in to Smoley, she hated it and told me to work on the rest of the story. I felt stupid!" Because so many staffers were new, they suffered the same problems as Fehr, yet the staff gained the experience needed to fi nish the book on time. The editors hoped their book would be as successful as the 1990 edition, which was only one of three in the nation to win a Gold Crown and Pacemaker awa rd. - -Melody Barajas o dt:c ide on headli nes and photos for the end of the year news spread, Krissa Rossbund, Karen Barker, and Kelli S mi th look 01·er the possi bilities duri ng yearbook class sixth hour.

He came with white sweat pants, a sweat shirt with the arms and neck cut out of it, and white Van shoes. I've never seen him out of a suit." Instructor Roger Pearson's cookies looked as funny as he did. According to students, he put too much cookie dough too close together, and his cookies spread out, forming one giant glob. The cookie-making process was a success, even though only 38 people came to the dance. H oping to be winners at their state-wide meet, Business Professionals of America members ventured to Cedar Rapids for three days of intense competition. In. one competition, Sheila Letner and Ben Alba had to correct errors on a pre-made computer program. Winning second and third place, Letner and Alba qualified to attend national competition, but they were unable to raise enough money to go. Other students who attended said the experience was fun and educational even though they didn't win. "I found out I didn't know as much as I thought," said Rachell Hill.

"Then we would hold up a sign that had Ms. Nelson's name and phone number written in huge bold letters." The students were interested in finding Nelson a mate because they considered her their mom. "Ms. Nelson was always doing motherly things towards us like matchmaking us with prom dates, so we started calling her mom," Tyler Conaway said.

But good-natured pranks soon replaced races. As Aaron Thatcher and Clayton Westervelt neared the opposite side of the lake, they capsized the canoe carrying Jessica Mankin, Susan Wells, and Rachel Page. "After we got over the shock of suddenly being thrown into the water, everyone thought it was hilarious, " said Mankin. "Since the water was too deep to flip the canoe, we had to swim alongside it and pull it back to shore. "We all laughed about it, but it wouldn't have been as funny if we had been wearing our clothes instead of bathing suits!" When members weren't busy playing pranks on each other, they had fun and got to know each other through skits, volleyball, card games, and joke sessions around the campfire. heorems are explained to Grace J ayjack by NHS member Melody Baraj as.

At the retreat held at Iowa Western, the more than 30 members from AL, TeeJay, Kirn, and Wilson participated in games, watched a magician, learned the Astra song, and listened to a nutritionist. They also learned about women in careers from a panel consisting of a lawyer, model, professor, and anchorwoman. " I didn't expect it to be as interesting as it was," said Kirsten LeClair. " I thought the nutritionist would be boring, but she made it fun by asking questions like, 'Did you have a nutritious breakfast?' and , if you answered no, you had to sit down. By the end of the discussion, there were about two people standing." In addition to the retreat, members sponsored a Pick-a-Pop booth at Lynx-0-Rama, which earned more than $150, and they made holiday decorations for Meals on Wheels trays.

"Everyone was blindfolded and spun around, and two people kept moving the pinata so we had trouble hitting it. It finally took three people to get it totally broken, and when it was, everyone ran onto the floor and got all of the candy." After the pinata was broken, club members got the chance to sample Spanish cookies and make Mexican ornaments.

"I didn't mind putting in extra time so we wouldn't be waiting until the last minute to count all of the receipts." Instructor Dennis Schmoker estimated that the new equipment was worth almost $2000, making students' work worth the effort.

Exhausted from working in extremely hot temperatures, they began to lie down and relax for the remaining hours of the ride. When they passed a semi truck, they heard a loud boom. The girls looked to the back of the van to see Deborah Hogan's bag swinging from the roof of the van and all of Andrea Nielson's belongings spread across the highway. "I swear my suitcase flew at least 100 feet," said Nielson. "We hurried out of the van to gather my things. I was so embarrassed when two farmers stopped and saw Mr. Brown handing me my underwear with a burn hole in the butt. He found most of my clothes in the weeds." Other cheerleaders couldn't forget the two girls' expressions. "I'll never forget the blank expression on Deborah's face when she was trying to grab her bag through the closed window," said Carrie DeRoos. A fter arriving at school for a 7 a.m. cheerleading practice, Shyla Putnam found herself running 10 exhausting laps around the big gym because she had missed the previous practice. New cheerleading sponsor Dave Brown had suddenly begun disciplining the girls for unexcused absences or tardiness to morning practices. Untir Putnam's absence, the cheerleaders were unaware of the rule changes, but most agreed that the new rules cut down on absences and helped the girls dedicate themselves to improving their squad. "At first, I was a little upset that I had to run because I didn't know there was practice," said Putnam, "but I thought it was a good idea that he was making strict rules. I am glad he is trying to improve us, so we can become a better cheerleading squad."

Suddenly, a door opened, and senior Molly Mortensen darted out, escaping from initiation. Although she had planned to get back in the car, the light turned green before she could, and both cars took off, leaving her behind. "I was scared somebody was gonna grab me because there are a lot of weirdoes down there and I was embarrassed to be dressed so funny," said Mortensen. For initiation, new squad members were dressed up in old clothes, given odd hairdo's, and taken to the AL vs. St. Albert baseball game. "I got it the worst because last year during initiation, I was at a slumber party and they couldn't .find me," said Peggy Murray. "They made t-shirts for the new girls.

After a relaxing ride from Omaha to St. Louis, the girls thought that maybe flying wasn't such a bad thing and that they would probably survive. Suddenly, over Tennessee, though, the cabin began to shake and rattle in turbulence. The flight attendant abruptly opened the cabin doors to tell passengers they would be flying another 45 minutes because high winds wouldn't allow a landing. "I didn't think we'd ever get off that plane," said Pauli Ranslem. "Before we got on it, I took some Calmex, but that didn't help once we hit turbulence. I was so relieved when it was over.

She was astonished, however, to find two different shoes, both for her right foot, one high heeled, one flat. "Everybody told me to wear the Keds I wore to practice, but they wouldn't have looked too great with a dressy skirt," said Lowman. "I ended up going home, which made me late for first hour.

Sweat rolled down their faces, mixing with the brown sticky syrup that speckled their arms and faces. Although this could have been the scene at almost any sporting event where Booster parents battled behind the concession counter, it was the scene at the AL vs Tee Jay football game in September. "The Tee Jay game was the worst," said Debbie Taylor, chairperson of concessions. "By the end of halftime we had run out of everything. We went through 25 packs of hotdogs, 24 pounds of popcorn, and 30 bags of ice. Everyone was a mess because when the pop canisters emptied, they burst pop everywhere." Despite the unpleasantness of working the stand, the Tee Jay game undoubtedly turned the biggest profit of a ny of the concessions. Concessions were one project Booster Club did to raise money for AL activities. According to Diane Hughes, president of Booster club, the club donated more than $22,000 to 28 clubs and sports for needed equipment and uniforms. "The purpose of Booster Club is to support AL activities," said Hughes. "Even though some don't realize how much we help, it's rewarding to know we've done our part." With the help of Booster Club, the band replaced its sound system, cross country bought a new computer program, swing choir purchased new outfits, the auditorium received new spot lights, a nd the library install ed a new computer to track information. Being able to fund projects required ha rd work on the part of the Booster Club.

After spending six months planning a nd organizing Lynx-0-Rama, the biggest fundraiser for Booster Club, the parents were disappointed due to lack of student involvement. "Since Lynx-0-Rama is for the student body, we decided to get the input of students through a homeroom survey," said Diane Westervelt, co-chairperson for Lynx-0- Rama. " I thought it was a good idea, but I was very disappointed with the results. Out of 40 homerooms, only seven responded, and I was able to use only about three of the ideas. Despite lack of interest, Lynx-0-Rama was a success, raisi ng more the $5200 among the organizations tha t pa rticipa ted. Another project Booster Club supported by donating $4000 was Post Prom, a n a fter prom party that provided a drug free environment for students. Like Lynx-0-Rama, Post Prom required much planning a nd preparation. "Diane Andersen a nd I were in charge of buying the prizes a nd gifts for the Lynx Pawn Shop,'' said June Feller. "For two week~ all we did was shop. We wanted to buy thing that weren't just junk. "To make room for a ll the items we·d bought, we took a ll the furniture out of m son's room, who was away a t college. When he came home, he ha d to clea r a spot in th.e middle of the stuff to sleep. If nothing else, it certainly made us sick of shopping!" In addition to supporting students financially, Booster Club started a Safe Homes progra m, which promoted a drug a nd a lcohol free environment. . After pledging not to serve a lcohol to ~1- nors and promising to chaperone a ll parties he ld in their home, pa rents who joined the program consented to having their names published on a list available to a ll parents: Although the program, which started ~n the fall, had more than 160 pledges, it still had a long way to go. "Safe Homes is just a first step," said e~­ gy Ke noyer, Booster member. "At least it ma kes parents a ware of the a lcohol problem a t school." Whether they were toughing it out a t hot football games, reorganizing their home to ma ke room for Post Prom prizes, or promoting Safe Homes, Booster parents went the extra mile to ensure that students got the financial and moral support they needed. -Melody Barajas DIGGI N' IN.

Success stories seemed to emerge from every nook and cranny of the building. From a first time driver learning to drive to a trigonometry student figuring out functions, we all were successful at something. Some success stories were so remarkable that they served to inspire us all. After suffering brain damage from a car accident in 1989, Carrie Kalkman struggled against the odds. "After my accident, the doctor told my parents I'd never be able to read, write, walk or even talk again," said Kalkman. "But by keeping a positive attitude and not giving up, I'm getting all A's and B's." Another over achiever, Coco Fossland exerted extra effort at the Secondary Student Training Program (SSTP) held at the University of Iowa. Under the SSTP, talented science students spent six weeks on a research project. Fossland's assignment was to compare different cleft palate surgical techniques, hypothesize about which was best, and then perform experiments to test her hypothesis. Before starting her project, she spent 80 hours pouring over medical journals. "I researched a topic no one had researched before," said Fossland, "so when I had a question, I had to figure out the answer on my own, which prepared me for the challenges of the real world. " Although Kalkman's and Fossland's successes were more unique than most, we were all a_uthors of our own success stones. -Melody Barajas Academic Division + 77 Try, Try, Again "Getting a B + in English really upset me.

Instructor Jane Nelson assigned Kenoyer to work with Heather Ellingsen and Coco Fossland, who had plans for Kenoyer. "My group just told me, 'Hey Curt! We've got this idea. You have to dress up as a chief and pretend to give a speech in the Iroquois language. Then we're going to put war paint on you and show what all the symbols mean. You don't mind, do you?' At first I said 'No way!' But later, I decided it would be fun. " Kenoyer wasn't the only one who found amusement in the presentation. The class found the animal skin outfit, and the oily red, black, and yellow make-up touches made the presentation memorable. The group not only earned an A but also had a great time working on their project. Hair Raising v ) ~ ~ Feeling nervous and worried about making, mis,takes or even forgetting his first speech of the semester, Jamie Combs made his way to the front of his Oral Communication class. His first speech, a demonstration on soccer, went well except for one detail, which he didn't discover until later when he watched the video tape. "Everyone was laughing," said Combs. "I must have run my fingers through my hair at least I 0 times during the two-minute speech." But Combs didn't let a nervous habit discourage him. "Watching the films of our speeches helped me improve," he said. "I became aware of my distracting habits and was able to stop them." Combs received a B + in speech as a result of his efforts.

Little did they know that she was copying the answers from the back of the book because she didn't understand at all. She was acing all the assignments, but one day a test came, and she got a D. "At first I was so mad at myself," said Warren. "I was surrounded by people who understood, but I thought no one could help me, and that I'd go through life not understanding math." But after a call to her parents fro instructor Orville Miller, Warren asked for help. She began spending half an hour before and after school with Miller, doing each assignment with him. If she had a question, all she did was ask him to explain it on the board. "I was always afraid to ask for help," said Warren, "but I found our Mr. Miller didn't get mad ifhe had to go through the material again." Proofl Magic!.~ 1::~ After two to three weeks of special help, Warren took her final, earned a B, and learned that asking for help was a smart thing to do. After blocking our the distractions of home and family, Jennifer Kramer found she could overcome the obstacles of theorems, proofs, and slope equations by studying intensely in complete silence. The T.V. and radio stood silent in their corners while Kramer methodically paged through her notes in review. Every so often, she'd scratch away at a paper, trying to jot down a theorem she feared would escape her memory during a test. The silence would last for more that an hour. Trig Tricks • 1?1~~ "When a test comes, I study really hard for it," said Kramer. "Sometimes the test is super hard, and I'm shocked when I get it back and see that I did okay. I feel great knowing that I can earn an A on something even though it's hard." Frustrated, Manual Valadez plopped down and looked at his desk, strewn with the past assignments and notes that he hoped would. help him solve a difficult trig identities problem. Unlike those who gave up when faced with a difficult math problem, Valadez would tell himself to calm down and take things step by step. He would then solve a part of the problem that he already knew how to do, which would lead him to a basic understanding of the problem and then to the answer. It was his policy to spend no less than 15 minutes on a problem before asking the teacher or a friend for help. The reward for his independent thinking was getting a B or better on every test. "Math has always been easy for me," said Valadez. "I feel good that I'm able to accomplish the hard assignments.

But Moore overcame the initial shock of a six-week summer internship a t Iowa State University as soon as she began conducting resea rch of her own. Her project was to observe mutations in Mitochondria l DNA, which was thought to be the cause of nonheredita ry diseases such as leukemia and dia betes. After Moore worked 25 hours a week in the la b and prepa red a summary of her project, she decided tha t medical research was not the field she wished to pursue. " Research is very cut throat," she sa id. " Research doctors are ba ttling for grants, they work odd hours, and it becomes their life. J would rather work in a practical field , such as an ear, nose, and throat specia lity. But the program gave me confidence tha t I can do anything, even if it looks difficult."

"If I study the diagrams enough, then I can picture them in my head when I take the tests." Due to O'Brien's study techniques, she received an 'A' in the class, but didn't feel anybody actually recognized her talents.

To prepare food correctly, Kim Carlin and Julie Davis soon learned they had to read and follow recipe directions carefully, and that not doing so could be disastrous. When they had to bake their first batch of oatmeal cookies, the two rushed to get done during class and the cookies didn't turn out quite as they expected. "They came out kinda soupy," said Davis, "We hurried too much, so they looked really bad, but they tasted okay." Soon after that incident, Carlin and Davis began reading directions more carefully and preparing delicious foods. "At first I really wasn't into the class" said Carlin, "but after I got to know the teacher and the kids, it got to be a lot more fun. It really is a lot easier to cook when you follow the directions." According to instructor Nancy Tangeman, the pair improved significantly once they learned to cook correctly. Handy Work Imagine three and a half weeks of giving up study halls and lunch, just to make a dress that wasn't even an assignment. Elizabeth Jordan did just that to complete her dress for LC's Snowball. The project was not only time consuming but also troublesome. Jordan had to replace the zipper on the skirt four times and redo a side seam six times. "I also had problems with the sleeves because the underlining kept getting caught," she said. " It was so frustrating. I owe a lot to Mrs. Ford because she kept telling me I could do it." Jordan said making her own dress not only saved money but also gave her great satisfaction.

At the beginning of the year Saldivar was receiving B's and C's on her assignments, but she thought she could do better. To raise her grade to a n A, she began to ask questions and clarify that the work she had already done was correct.

"I had never driven before driver ed. Everything with the car was totally new to me," said Ellerbruch. "The other kids in the group had driven with their parents, but my parents were very protective about it. My aunt had told them that it was better that I wait and learn to drive from the teacher." Although driving in town was terrifying, Ellerbruch found it to be a relatively simple task compared to the interstate. "I was allowed to decide if I wanted to attempt driving to Omaha," she said. "I was scared to death because of the high speeds, number of Janes, and cars on the interstate, but I wanted to try. Mr. Forbes coached me through it and everything went smoothly." Ellerbruch received a C in driver education but continued to work with Forbes to become more comfortable driving. "Mr. Forbes helped me so much," she said, "I was really scared when I first started driving, but I've become much more comfortable with my driving, thanks to him." P.E. had always been a difficult class for Teri Herron, but rather than Jet it get the best of her, she resolved to accomplish something good for herself. "I do weightlifting to do better in drama," said Herron. "I try to improve my endurance for rehearsals. I figure that if yoli have six hours of rehearsals and are not physically ready, even if you have a gorgeous voice, you might as well have an understudy who is physically prepared do the part." To get in shape for each performance, Herron targeted specific goals in weightlifting and aerobics. "Mr. Argersinger was a big help," she said. "I would tell him what I needed to do in a show and he would then show me how to exercise the muscle groups I would use. With aerobics I just figured that if I could do one hour, I could certainly do a three hour rehearsal." For her part in Amahl and the Night Visitors, Herron needed to perform a move which required strength in her leg muscles. " I w~s not capable of performing that move, so I went to Mr. Argersmger," she said. "I knew that I needed to work on the hip sled: and he added leg extensions, curls, and squats. Since I went to him with specifics, he was able to give me the help I needed. I'~ an artist, I'm not a jock, but I believe you do what you can with what you're given." CLOSE WATCH.

Smith said the appreciation he received from instructor Steve Swee was a big motivator. "Mr. Swee tells me that he is really proud of me," said Smith.

"When I started the class, I really didn't think it would be that hard," Mcintosh said. " After you learn the symbols, it gets easier, but it takes a Jong time to figure out what each little one means. Mrs. Tettenborn is a really big help because she goes over everything more than once to make sure that we understand it." Mcintosh found that shorthand helped him already this year to take better notes in his classes.

With the help of instructor Pam Ziebarth, Hill soon found a job as a secretary and errand runner at a dentist office. "Basically I do everything that nobody else wants to do," said Hill. According to Hill, working in an office required her not only to meet new people but also to change her work habits. "It's totally different from working at a fast food place," she sa id. "There you have something to do all the time, but at the office, sometimes you have to look for things to do."

I like learning about our country's roots and about how we got to where we are today." Handley said he found time to study by using his class time wisely and putting in one to two hours at home on nights he had homework or needed to study for a test.

"I could have waited to take French," she said, "but most colleges require four years of a foreign language to graduate, and I wanted to get it out of the way." But Franks went way beyond just getting the class out of the way. To do well, she went through the French I workbook and redid every assignment for a complete review.

"I wanted to make a cedar chest because my family didn't have one," said Widfeldt, "and I have always liked the smell of cedar." Making the cedar chest wasn't easy. The wood was so soft while it was curing that touching it with a fingernail dented it. Different temperatures when curing also caused a problem, cracking the wood.

"The teacher went a round looking for mistakes, and if he found one, we had to go back a nd fi x it until it was right.

Art/ Industrial Arts f 95 Committee begins restructuring process which will take AL into 21st century C ouncil Bluffs was no different from school districts across the country. With the 21st century less than a decade away, teachers and administrators began to realize more fully than ever before that the nation's schools were not adequately preparing students to be successful in a rapidly changing world. " We simply aren't operating in the age we live in. Our school system has become a dinosaur," said Dr. Maryellen Knowles, Iowa's transformation coordinator. To restructure AL to fit the times, educators embarked on a bold journey called Transformation . At AL, that journey was guided by the Transformation Committee, a group of students, parents, teachers, and administrators dedicated to restructuring AL. The major goal was to make students more active participants in learning. Rather than just reading from a text, students would be responsible for using critical thinking skills in processing and analyzing information. As teachers attended inservices and began meeting in small groups to brainstorm, it became clear that three types of changes would be essential to transformation. First, memorizing and busy work would have to be replaced with more meaningful assessments of students' achievements. Authentic Assessment became the buzz wo rds for a system of grading in which students would demonstrate their ability to use the information and skills they learned. Chris Fink, science instructor, already used Authentic Assessment in her class. To stimulate learning about the ozone layer, Fi nk decided against the traditional method of assigning diagrams a nd testing over fa cts. " I wanted them to understand the problems and controversies surrounding the ozone," she said.

Each student researched a position . For example, there wa s a farmer concerned about its effect on crops and two health professionals concerned about skin cancer. "Rather than taking a written test, the students presented their views in a public meeting in front of fifth and sixth graders. It went rea lly well . I know the students learned because they had to do it all themselves." To supplement Authentic Assessment, Outcome Based Education (OBE) was also considered by the Transformation Committee . According to Warren Weber, director of secondary education, students would know at the beginning of the course or unit the specific outcome they needed to accomplish and they would have to meet the outcome to pass the course. Under OBE, the calendar would no longer determine the end of a course . Some students would pass in less tha n a semester, while others would work longer tha n 18 weeks. " OBE is a major asset to transforma tion,'' sa id Weber, "because in the end, it benefits the student. When a student graduates from AL, a diploma is received, but wha t does it represent? Under OBE and Authentic A - sessment, he will be able to say, 'I am competent,' and really mean it. " To make OBE and Authe ntic Assessment work, many teachers rea li zed the seven period schedule should be repla ced. . . A discussion group bega n exa nm g schedules of other schools to help devise a schedule that would serve the needs of AL. They examined schedules at both ends of the spectrum, including the block system, which used fewer, longer pe riods, a nd modular schedules, which used 12 or more shorter mods. Teachers learned both sc hed ules had advantages. They found the block plan made better instruction possible beca use teachers worked with fewer stude nts da ily, and th modular schedule allowed more fl exibility in the number of classes a student could ta ke. Judy Jeffrey, assista nt superintenden t, expressed what many teachers felt when she said, "There is no magi c schedule to meet the needs of students in th e 2 1st century. Everyone at AL has to work together to create · schedule that will sa tisfy Al's needs." Although there had been no major es by the spring of 1991 , the ra sfor~ t1 n Committee planned to conti nue worktng t transform AL into a n instit ution capa ble of prepa ring students for life in the 2 lst century. -Coco Fossla nd READ ALL ABO UT IT !

And when the pressure was on, many came out on top. After a season of ups and downs facing tough Metro competttton, the volleyball team won both the district and regional titles as well as its first state berth in 13 years. For the girls' basketball team, being the best meant taking on top ranked teams like Marion and Sioux City North and finishing 17-8 on the season. "We had a lot of goals for the season and accomplished almost all of them," said Kim Moore. "We wanted to be better than last year's team and we were " . Being the best wasn 't always a team event. Many found success in individual contests. Struggling through rigorous practices and stiff competition , Aaron Thatcher proved he .had what it took to be a top swimmer.

But when he remembered he had an intramural basketball game in less than half an hour, he jumped out of bed and into his uniform. When he arrived at school minutes later, he was awake, alert, and ready to play. Smith wasn't the only person who jerked himself out of bed before dawn on cold winter mornings to play an action packed game of intramural basketball. Twelve teams competed in January and February. "Once I got out on the court, I didn't think about how early it was," said Eric Hamilton. "If I were tired, I didn't even realize it. All I could do was concentrate on having fun." As players had fun together, they developed new friendships. "When people play intramural sports, their natural character shows because there aren't many rules," said Jason Bell. "When I found someone I thought would be fun, we would just start talking, and I made a few new friends that way." Because intramural basketball . · · · ~. · Friends and ... '.' fun, that's :··what intramurals is all about. If you took those away, there wouldn't be anything left. " -Eric Hamilton was so successful, intramural volleyball and beasley ball were added to the program. Volleyball, which had nine teams participate, was successful largely because the games were played at night. "The best thing about volleyball being played at night was that by then, all other sports practices were over," said Curt Kenoyer, "and afterwards our team could go do something because we didn't have to worry about going to school." Beasley ball was more successful than expected with eight teams participating. "When I signed up for beasley ball, I didn't even know what it was," said Shannon Flynn. "The first game we had, only one person from the other team showed up, but the next day, things turned out better. Now everybody is crazy about it!" A special attraction of volleyball and beasley ball was that the teams were coed. "Playing on a coed team was fun ," said Trisha Alba. "We got along really well, and if the girls couldn't hit the ball, the guys almost always made up for it." At the end of the intramural season, top players got their moment in the spotlight when the top two basketball teams competed and the best volleyball team played the girls' varsity for the championship. "The team I was on played in both championships," said Hamilton. "It was great because we played in front of the whole school. We goofed off, and people cheered for us." Although the championship games were big events, the main motivation for playing intramural sports wasn't to be champions. "Friends and fun ," said Hamilton "that's what intramurals is all about'. If you took those away, there wouldn't be anything left. " -Kim Gift "IN YER FACE!" J.R. Pearson of the Ten Live Crew yells as he spikes the ball between Jesse Hastie's block.

HEAD OVER HILLS Cross country runners use smarts to conquer the course T o get ahead in today's world, people have to be smarter than the next guy - or in the case of the cross country runners, smarter than the athletes ahead of them. Running smart came easy for the 1990 team because members were used to using their heads in the classroom. The girls' squad earned an outstanding award from the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union for maintaining a composite grade point average of 3.4. Likewise, the boys were awarded certificates for earning a GPA of 3.25. In addition to team honors, Jon Fitch, Pat Hughes, and Casey Malskeit were announced to the 1990 All Metro Academic Team, following the Metro Meet at Tranquility Park. Both teams used their classroom smarts on the hills as well. As a result, they chalked up five first place wins, an 11th place state finish for the boys, and a 14th place state finish for the girls. Since conditioning was a crucial part of running smart, intelligent runners didn't take it lightly. "To prepare physically, I go to NO MAN'S LAND. On the open course at Tranquility Park, Ruth Fitch sets a steady pace, finishing 19th in the Metro meet. Fitch led the Lady Lynx in eight races.

"All through the season, I ate a lot, but I never felt bad about it because I knew I would work it off."

(Photo by Amy Negrete) Mike Batten put their heads together on weekends to plan practices. Their plans almost always included running triangles. For a triangle, runners sprinted up a hill, jogged down a steeper incline, and ran across a straightaway back to their starting point. Runners learned that the hill workouts helped in competition. "When the courses had hills, they were easier to climb because we had practiced them with triangles," said Shawn Reisz. "Triangles helped strengthen my legs and increase my speed." After practices and conditioning, runners found the races to be mental as well as physical competitions. " I try to stay focused on my style, pace, and small movements to save energy," said Hughes. "At Atlantic, I was thinking about everything to do right through the whole race, and when it came to the end straightaway, and I started to sprint, I had everything left in me. That was probably one of my best races. " From the classrooms to the hills, runners learned using their smarts was the key to academic as well as athletic success. -Lori Fehr TAKING ADV ANT AGE of the corner at Districts, Molly Spann starts to pass Tara Clabaugh of Estherville.

Only this time, they refused to give up. AL's offense had the ball within touchdown range, and the clock ran out two seconds early. The Lynx convinced officials to put the two seconds back on the clock, and instantly, quarterback Chad Taylor launched a short pass to Scott Brandenburg. He was stopped just one yard away from the end zone. "Since the pass wasn't long enough, I had to sprint forward to catch it," said Brandenburg. "Then I had to backpedal toward the goal line. I thought I was close to the end zone, but when I realized how close I actually was, it was a major disappointment." In years past, the squad may never have fought for those final seconds, but this year it was different. "One of our goals was to never let down," said Andy Caruso. "We played every game from beginning to end."

Team members soon learned Emsick was serious about goal setting, and as a result, they took it to heart. "We found our goals gave us something to look forward to every game," said Shawn Hatcher. "Even if we lost, we asked ourselves if we had accomplished what we set out to do. If we got a first-and-ten on our first possession, wrapped up on tackles, and played tough, we knew at least part of the game was a success."

"We graduated four starters," said Angi Riggs, "which left us with many young players. Working together was difficult. We barely knew each other." The senior moms were proud of the babies' talents. They could spike, set, and serve, helping their moms amass a 10-6 record by October. But even though the girls were beating easy teams, they often lost to tough competition. Soon the moms realized the problem was that their baby players hadn't yet learned to talk and had a hard time playing with other kids. The spikers let their frustration get the best of them against Westside Sept. 1 as they were downed 3-0. Even senior captain Heidi Workman showed frustration. "No one talked to each other on the court," said Workman. "Finally, I joined the younger players in their silent treatment. They weren't playing as a team, and I was tired of trying to keep it going." "COME ON!"

"Communication would soon become the key factor in the way we worked as a team on the court," said Mindy Patten. "As soon as we started talking to each other and calling the ball, the team started improving." Districts proved to be the ultimate turning point for the spikers.

But in the third game we were down by IO points until finally everyone began communicating and we came out on top 21-19." IN YOUR FACE!

With these important victories under their belts, the Lady Lynx earned their way to State for the first time since 1977. Although the girls knew they'd face big competition at the tourney in Altoona, they had no idea how "big" number one Dubuque Walbert was. "Miss Kyte wouldn't let us look at them as they warmed up," said Vickie Ambrose. "I thought they were big, but once we started playing, I knew I had never seen anything like it before. Their size and the power in their spikes was unbelievable!" Even though the girls' state experience was short-lived, as they fell to Wahlert 3-0, Coach Mary Kyte praised the team's efforts. "I was extremely proud of the way the girls performed," said Kyte. "I wish I had been able to prepare them mentally, but the girls figured problems out themselves, and gave Wahlert a run in the final game of the match." As the season came to a close, the eight baby girls had grown up with the help of the senior moms.

Fans were excited that a trip to State seemed a sure bet. As the Tee-Jay game neared, a big win seemed imminent. But three minutes into the game, senior Jason Brink, who averaged 25 points in the first four games, sprained his ankle. As Brink sat on the bench the rest of the game, his teammates kept up with Tee-Jay until the last quarter, but then fell behind and couldn't catch up. "When we lost to Tee-Jay, I couldn't believe it," said Brad Burke. "It was the ultimate underdog game. That's something you never get over." Coach Dan Koch said one of the problems was that the players were un a ble to adjust to Brink's injury. "What it indicated was that the kids didn't want to take on different roles," said Koch, "and maybe some of them were relying on another "GOT IT!" As Mike Newberry of Tee-Jay watches, Jason Arnold gets the rebound. Arnold was named Most Improved Player. (Photo by Amy Negrete) We didn't .,. .. ~ play as a ,. : .... team.

To solve this problem, Koch switched the bench rotations to find a strong set of players who worked well together. But teammates said the rotations weren't successful because everyone was playing for themselves. "We didn't play as a team," said Jason Johnson. "Everyone wanted to be a star. We couldn't be ourselves because we wanted to be scorers. We were all so close in talent, it was hard for us to mold together."

(Photo by Gere Nelson) One of the things that kept the team alive was that Metro play would soon be over and Iowa play lay ahead. Even though the team's record wasn't improving, the boys remembered the team three years ago that had more losses than wins and still went to State. With the gleam of State in their eyes, the boys entered Districts and defeated Creston by 15. But the gleam was replaced by tears when they faced Tee-Jay once again and lost. " As I saw the game coming to an end, I had mixed emotions," said Pat Gibson. "I was sad because our senior season was going to be over, but I was happy because I felt a great weight removed from my shoulders. " The season may have been a disaster, but according to Koch and the players, it was definitely a learning experience. "If the boys are honest with themselves and look sincerely into what they did and how they did it, there are some very positive things that emerge in the course of being tested the way they were during the year," Koch said. -Lori Fehr W.-\Rl\ll NG THE BENCH.

"We thought this was supposed to be your girls' basketball team, not your football team." Although the Lady Lynx didn't feel they were playing rough, Sioux City fans disagreed. When referees' didn't call fouls on AL, opposing fans continued to heckle the girls. "At first we were upset from the crowd yelling at us," said Vickie Ambrose, " but we didn't let it ruin the way we performed. " The kind of physical and mental strength shown against Sioux City was the key that enabled the Lady Lynx to achieve a 17-8 record. While the team's average height wa s onl y 5'8 ", the girls' aggressiveness led them to a record for the most steals in a season. "We weren't a real tall team or great scorers," said Cathy Mauer, " but we could out-hustle other teams. After stealing the ball, we drove it down the court." But the team's hustle resulted more from hard work than natural talent, according to teammates. "We worked ourselves extremely hard," said Heather Haines. "At least three times a week, we halfcourt scrimmaged against each other "ALL RIGHT FRICK!" The team shouts after Melissa Frick scores a three point shot, pulling the Lady Lynx ahead in the district championship game against St. Albert.

After stealing the ball, we drove it down the court.'' -Cathy Mauer so we would have less court to set up on. It improved our speed." The team also worked at mental toughness, developing an attitude that overcame even a disappointing 41 -47 loss to Tee Jay. "I couldn't believe we lost to them" said Kim Moore. "We were upset, but the loss encouraged us to try harder because we knew we had a chance to beat them in Districts." Although the girls had few upsets, they used every game as a learning experience, analyzing videotapes of each player's performance and needed improvements. In the Holiday Tournament, the girls played their best. They started the tournament with a 47-39 victory over Ralston and KEEP AWAY. Forcing the ball in bounds, Conn ie White dribbles around Benson defender towa rd the basket. White scored 57 poi nts throughout the season.

Although they were defeated by 5th ranked Westide, the girls were thrilled to win a bet with their coach. "Coach Brown bet us that if we won the first two games of the tournament, he would let us shave off his mustache," said Mauer." We sat him down, put a towel around him, and took turns with the razor until the mustache was gone." After such a strong finish against the Metro's best teams, the girls realized State was within reach. In Districts, they defeated Tee Jay and St. Albert, capturing the title for the second year in a row. At Regionals, they beat Sioux City North 49-36 but lost to Fort Dodge in the finals, falling just three points short of State. "We all hoped for State," sa id Ca thy Collins. "Although we tried our best, I was upset because it was the second year in a row that we were only three points a way." Through building physical and mental strength, the Lady Lynx finished with one of the best seasons ever. -Stacy Ebling GIRLS' BASKETBALL 17-8 AL OPP Sioux City East S6 47 St. Albert S8 2S Bellevue East S9 4S Bryan so 32 Tee Jay 41 47 Gross 40 47 Elk horn 66 S4 Benson 60 4S Ma rian S6 S3 Millard North 42 52 Westide 46 SS Ralston 6S 36 Northwest 48 6S Westide 48 6S Omaha North 46 SS Marian 61 S8 Sioux City West 71 SS Oma ha Central 64 36 Benson 46 49 Sioux City Heela n 70 so Bellevue West 69 S4 DISTRICTS Tee J ay 46 3S SI.

Kill him, G Georgie!" yelled Kathy Poulos as her son George assumed his position on the wrestling mat. From the moment the official first blew his whistle until the final buzzer sounded, Mrs. Poulos cheered tirelessly until George had battled his way to a victory over Glenwood's Matt Fischer. "It was really a great feeling to know my mom was there at almost all of my matches and that she cared enough to really get into what I was doing," said Poulos. "Her support meant a lot to me." Like Poulos, the entire wrestling team found family and team support to be a major key in finishing the season 8-2 and sending three qualifiers to State. Constantly battling each other for the 140-pound varsity spot, Craig Mauer and Scott Porter soon learned that competition was one of the best forms of team support. "Craig was always threatening to take my varsity position away," said Porter. "Knowing he was never going to give up made me work harder. When we weren't competing, he was a lways there to cheer me on and keep me pumped up at matches. There were never any hard feelings." For the inexperienced heavyweights, support from other team members was essential. "PIN HIM, GEORGIE!" shouts Kathy Poulos as she watches her son George battle an opponent at a home meet. Poulos attended nearly a ll of George's matches, helping him to finish the season with 23 wins. (Photo by Melody Jaco) 112 + Sports ..........

"Support from my team really helped me keep going even if I was down on the mat." But when muscles ached after a rigorous practice and a crash diet was the only way to qualify for an upcoming meet, wrestlers turned to family members for encouragement. "When you cut weight, you rea lly need extra support from your family," said I 03-pounder Darren Coppock. "Even though my mom worried when I was really pale and skinny the night before a match, she knew I had to do what I had to do and she was a lways willing to help. She'd buy me special foods like Gatorade and Slim Fast to help me." MAKIN' HIS MOVE. In an offensive position, Darren Coppock struggles with Brahmen Creighton of Millard North for control of the match. Coppock ended the year undefeated and went on to take first at State. (Photo by Melody Jaco) .. Jn addition to his mother's support, Coppock could a lways count on his brother and assistant coach, Tim Coppock, for extra help. "Although he was just my coach in the wrestling room, I knew that if I ever needed to work on my moves or technique, Tim would be there for me. He stayed after practice all the time to help me." The support Coppock received from his family, combined with his hard work and dedication, helped him finish the season undefeated and become the first AL wrestler to capture a first place state title in 20 years. But wrestlers knew that even when they lost, the support of their teammates a nd families would be just as strong. "At State, I had bronchitis a nd wasn't performing the way I could have," said Porter. "Still, my parents were extremely proud that I wrestled and ended up taking fourth place." As the season came to a close, the matmen found that although wrestling was an individual sport, they could n't have made it on their own. -Melissa Feller PORTER POWER.

"When we stopped at McDonald's for dinner and everyone grabbed tons of straws and napkins, we knew a huge spitball fight was on the way," said Rusty Clevenger. "We started out throwing one or two, then we got carried away. "Pretty soon the whole bus was covered with caked-on spitballs. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe! Amazingly enough, Coach didn't mind too much. He just made sure we cleaned everything up." Although swim team members occasionally took time out to have fun, they spent most of their time working hard to have one of their most successful seasons in years. Undefeated in dual meets, the boys' team standout Aaron Thatcher broke three records to hold every school record and four pool records. A shoulder injury kept Thatcher from swimming his best event, the 200 l.M., at State, but it didn't stop him from tying for fifth in the 50 free and dropping more that two seconds in his 100 free to place third.

" -Coach Dave Hook But not all of the team's success was in the form of broken records and state trips. Although Adam Nourse began his first year of competitive swimming slowly, he improved his stroke to become the second fastest breaststroker on the team. Dick Price dropped more than 19 seconds in his I 00 free and two seconds in his 50 free. "The boys were more willing to work and listen than in the past," said Coach Dave Hook. "After they found out that they could win meets, the boys gained confidence in themselves and in the team. Their attitude improved and that helped them win more meets. It was a snowball effect GOING FOR THE GOLD. Ready to begin practice, Aaron Thatcher finis hes his wa rm ups. The boys practiced more that 15 hours a week, swimming, runnin g, and lifting weights. (Photo by Krist i Kuper) - it kept getting bigger and bigger." The girls also experienced success. Their top swimmer, Janet Danburg, ; broke the 100 backstroke and 200 l.M. records and placed eighth at State in the I 00 backstroke and 21st in the 200 l.M. But the girls' success was harder to achieve because they had to adjust to the different coaching methods of Brenda Drazen, who replaced Judy Heithoff for the winter season while Heithoff was on maternity leave. " Brenda concentrated on sprints and stroke drills, unlike Judy, who worked us more in distance," said Beth Linberg. "I thought it was good to see a different aspect of swimming, but some were hurt physically. "When I swam the JOO fly at the Lady Lynx Invitational, I died after 25 meters. I was seeded second, but gained 11 seconds and got fifth . I found that after working sprints the whole time, my muscles had no endurance whatsoever." Despite the changes in coaching techniques, Drazen said everyone improved, and three-fourths of the girls doubled their speed. Swimmers found that by combining hard work and fun, they improved and enjoyed their season. -Kelly Knudson BOYS SWIMMING 8-4 AL OPP Benson 107 51 North 114 70 Lewis Central 114 54 Gross 54 0 Bellevue East 81 105 Central 88 133 Roncalli 88 56 Sioux City West 89 96 Ra lston 26 65 Brownell-Talbot 52 2 INVITATIONALS OPS 2nd Lewis Central 6th City 1st Metro 14th DISTRICTS 7th STATE 18th GIRLS SWIMMING S-1 AL OPP Benson 123 59 Gross 52 40 North 115 58 Ronca Iii 73 15 Bellerne East 88 96 Central 137 125 INVITATIONALS OPS 2nd Lady Lynx 2nd Metro 8th S\VIMMING.

He painted a mental picture of where his ball should go, checked the wind direction, and decided how to hit the ball. Everything looked like a normal shot, but this one was going to decide the city championship. Cover and rival Eric Fellows from Lewis Central were tied in the final hole of the city tournament, and the game had gone to sudden death. "This was the first hole of the extra shots," said Cover, "and I always get butterflies on the first hole. My heart was going l ,000 miles per hour, but I seemed to stay pretty calm. I didn't mess with my swing, I tried to block the crowd out, and I kept my head on straight." Cover was successful, making par on the hole while Fellows went over.

Cover attributed his victory mainly to a positive mental attitude, a quality that golfers said was indispensable to both the girls' and boys' teams throughout the season. "At the AL-Tee Jay Invitational the whole team shot fairly decently," said John Akers. "We kept our heads up, and if we got a bad score on one hole, we just shook it off and went to the next. We played hole by hole, not the whole course, and that's PAR-FECT PUTT. To make par, Sarah Chambers decides how to hit the ball on the first hole at Dodge Pa rk in a match against Tee Jay.

"I shot a 99 at Sectionals," she said, "and even if it wasn't the best, I was thrilled to get under 110. I just concentrated on doing my best, and didn't worry if I had a bad shot. Because I was confident, I played well." Sarah Chambers, who took medalist honors in every dual except one and won the AL Invitational and the city tournament, said that a positive mental attitude was the most important factor in having a successful match.

WR hen the schedule gets tougher, the team gets smaller, and experience . is suddenly in short supply, what 1s a coach to do? Coaches Mike Batten and Joe Hauser turned to coaching clinics for a few new practice techniques to solve just those problems. The boys' team lacked depth, with 12 fewer runners than last year, and the girls suffered from inexperience after graduating six seniors. The boys' squad was introduced to "Monday workouts," consisting of two and a half miles on the streets and two fast 600 meters on the track.

According to Guido, the ancient soccer villain, Socrates, chose one successful soccer team every year to put a curse on and AL was the one. But Guido offered a solution: to break the curse, the coach was to hand out little rocks Guido had "chiseled from the Parthenon," and each player was to rub the rocks and chant, "we will score goals." The girls did just that, and for one game, the curse was broken and the Lady Lynx pounded Benson 6-1. But once again, the girls' fell to the power of Socrates, losing three more Metro games and falling to Tee Jay for the first time in eight years. ONE STEP AHEAD OF Central's Stephanie King, forward Mindy Patten sets up for a cross pass to center field. (Photo by Julie Stueve) ' AAA A ...... A The loss to ..... '.'

" -Kim Bass "The loss to Tee Jay was especially upsetting," said Kim Bass, "because we were a good team with a lot of potential. We just couldn't score." Like the girls, the guys' team also suffered the curse of Socrates. Five games into the season, the boys had lost both of their starting seniors to injuries. "Losing Josh Eyre and Jeremy Gillette hurt us," said Chad Thielen. "We needed Gillette's speed, and Josh was our best goalie. But the rest of the team never gave up." Just like Socrates, Mother Nature was determined to break the teams' spirits. Throughout the season, rain postponed three boys' games. Mother Nature was also responsible for the tornado which chased the girls off the field and into the National Guard Armory during the first Muscatine tournament game. Once again, the Lady Lynx were forced to overcome adversity and play the rest of the game the following morning in another rain storm. "We were frustrated because we had to play in such awful conditions," said Melody Barajas. "Even so, we never let up despite the fa ct that we couldn't see the ball for the . " ram.

Brian Swartz was at bat, ready to bunt the pitch so Brian Ferguson could run home, but when Ferguson left second base too early for the squeeze play to work and Swartz was un a ble to bunt, Ferguson rounded third and stole home to secure the first win of the 1991 season. So started the Lynx baseball season. And according to Swartz, the Lynx had the talent for the makings of a successful season . At the start of the season, the tea m dropped a pair of games to Tee J ay and Des Moines East but made good showings in both games. "Our hitting and our defense were both so much better than they were the year before," said Swartz. "We ha d 20 runs in our first three games. That is more than we had in any five games the previous year." One reason for the improvement was senior leadership, with 12 seniors having varsity experience. But the team had to cope with ha ving one experienced pitcher. "When you throw a hundred pitches a game, your arm throbs and BAS[BA I.I.. FRONT ROW: Bria n Fer~uson. John Smilh. 1.ukl' llarmon.

Heidi Workman said that although the girls had improved on their defense during pre-season practices, game situations like second base throw-outs and hand signals had not been addressed before their first outing, leading to mental errors in the first few games. But despite making errors like over throwing and striking ou t, the Lady Lynx were blessed with more depth than in previous years. "Even though there are only three seniors on the team, we've got depth," said Workman. "If a starter gets hurt, we can use someone off the bench because they are a ll good." Another plus was that the girls had a second year coach for the first time in three yea rs. "When you have to adjust to a new coach every year, you waste time getting used to each other that could be spent betteri ng the team," sa id Mauer. "We didn't have to mess with that this year and it helped." After winning just three games all season long in 1989 and 12 games in the 1990 season, the Lady Lynx looked to win a t least half of their games in 1991. -E6cka Wellman SO~TBAl.I..

Taking front row seats, the gang got the crowd'~ attention. with its non-stop cheering and wild, sometimes obscene actions. The costumes and antics were all a part of being a member of The Mob. "W~ mobbed to show our support for the team in an off the wall way," said Halsted "It's boring to go to the games and just sit ~ your hands. We wanted to have fun and cheer on the team." Whether crowd behavior consisted of the wild antics of The Mob, the enthusiastic cheering of "better behaved" fans, or the disinterested milling around of fans who had given up on their team, crowd behavior had a definite impact on players' attitudes and performances. Although The Mob had good intentions their actions were not a lways benefici a l to th ~ team. At the Atlantic game, Mob members wandered onto the floor a nd shouted rude comments a t Atlantic's server in an a ttempt to break her concentration. The game was stopped and The Mob was asked to be quiet and move back into the stands. " l thought it was degrading," said A ngi Riggs, volleyball player. "When they had to stop the game because of our fa ns, it put a damper on the whole game. We lost a ll the intensity we'd built up and it put me in a reall.y bad mood. I eventua lly shrugged it off, but 1t was hard to get psyched up." Like Riggs, assistant principal Mike Messerl i fo und The Mob's behavior unacceptable, but he liked the idea of a student spirit group. 126 f Sports 0 1 played a lot for the fans . . . When I had a good play and the fans cheered I dug a little deeper a;,d played a little harder." -Pat Gibson "Part of the problem was that The Mob wasn't organized," said Messerli. "Whoever wanted .to show up showed up. They weren't ~ortraymg good sportsma nship, and a lot of ~1m~s they used obscene gestures and profa nity in their cheers." Messerli called together key members of The Mob an? as~ed them for input on how to better the s1tuat1on. The kids' solution was the orga ni ation of the Clean Cut Crew, a group d1c t~d. to supporting all a thletic teams m a pos1t1ve way. . The boys no longer dressed in costumes but instead, came to games in every day clothes The Crew a lso refrained from chanting de~ rogatory comments such as, "Your momma says you ugly, hey!" to opposing teammates. . Members of the Crew believed their new image was a good one. . "I ,,thin~ the Clean Cut crew was a good idea, said Aa ron Tha tcher "Wh . · en we cha.n?ed our image, the entire crowd reacted pos1t1vely. I think it rubbed off on the team a nd they played better knowing tha t win 0 ; ose , the row~ would be cheering them on instead of cutting the other team down." . When t~ e crowds ea ll y got into a game, players said they gamed the inspiration t play to the best of their ability. 0 At the Metro Holiday Basketba ll Tourna- ,, ment in December, the huge crowd was a true motivator. "The fans were grea t," sa id Pa t Gibson, "and I found I played a lot for them in that tourna ment. When I ha d a good play and the fans cheered, I dug a little deeper a nd played a little ha rder." But basketba ll players did n't a lways receive the support they needed . During their 10-game losing streak, fan s lost interest and mainly a ttended games fo r socia l reasons. "Sometimes it was rea lly discouraging to play beca use the crowd would just sit there:' said Jason Brink. "We didn't fee l like we were playing for a purpose when everyone was turned around talking to their friend and paying no a ttention to t he game. It got to the point where it didn't really matter if we lost because tha t's wha t the crowd expected." Unlike basketba ll a nd volleyball players, most athletes involved in spring sports never knew what it was like to play in fro nt of a huge crowd, but sometimes the enthusiasm of the crowd could ma ke u p for its small size . Although the girls' soccer team rarely had a crowd of more tha n 20 people, the support they received was enough to keep t hem going. "The fan s were mostly our pa rents and a few close friends," sa id Ge re Nelson, " but their cheering really motivated us to play bette r. When we got tired or frustrated. their support helped us ha ng in the re."

Most non-steadies especially liked not having to put up with a boyfriend's or girlfriend's jealousy. "An old steady girlfriend of mine was jealous of my friends," said Cory Brown. "When I'd go out with my friends, she'd ask me what we did, and ifl wouldn't tell her, she'd get really mad because she thought I'd done something bad. When you don't have a steady, you don't have to worry about that." Sara Richey thought it was great when she didn't have to ask a boyfriend for permission to go out with friends. "A friend of mine called this summer and two of our guy friends had invited both of us to go out boating with them at Manawa," said Richey.

I'm proud to wear the ring because it shows how much he loves and cares for me." When 50 seniors were polled, 16 of the 23 who said they had a steady boy or girlfriend gave security as the main reason for going steady. Part of that security was having someone special to talk to. "I like having someone there who cares," said Cindy Fiala. "My parents and I fight a lot because my dad is on strike, and my boyfriend helps me see things in a different perspective." Steadies also found they could be themselves without having to impress each other. "After wrestling and basketball practices, it's nice that Melissa and I don't have to worry about having our hair all messed up or wearing sweatpants," said George Poulos.

They had taken two vans, one driver by mother Debbie Workman and the other by Coach Mary Kyte. Only an hour had passed before the girls began getting restless. "We were all tired and bored, so I decided to liven things up," said Heidi Workman. "I crawled into the back of the van, shot down my pants, pressed my cheeks to the back window, and mooned Miss Kyte's van. I turned around to see her laughing so hard it was a wonder she kept on the road." High school athletics, designed to promote challenge and build character often provided a setting for funny memo~ies . Like the volleyball team, baseball players also took to the open road. Celebrating the end of the season, the team decided to road-trip to Adventureland. As the guys waited in line for a roller coaster, they encountered a clan of trueblue Harley riders, complete with hippie hair, torn t-shirts, and black jackets. "Chris Sorensen was being his normal, Seniors find fun and adventure on athletic road trips crazy self and decided to strike up a conversation with these guys," said Ryan Meis.

Little did they know they were about to witness a murder somewhat like those in a blood a nd guts horror movie. It all started when Pa t Hughes had the idea to play a joke on them when they arrived. Wanting to be the serial killer in the scena rio, Hughes pulled a ski mask over his fac e, grabbed a large knife from a drawer in the kitchen, and dressed in a long black trenchcoat, ready for action.

When they heard a car engine and saw headlights, they began their adventure. Hughes chased Stoufer up the steep hill, holding his knife. When he finally got him, he threw Stoufer to the ground and acted as if he were stabbing him. Stoufer twisted and turned, trying to escape, but he couldn't see because Heinz catsup covered his face in place of blood. " I was in the house and had changed my clothes when Heather and Shawn got inside," said Hughes. "When they asked where Stoufer was, we told them he got mad and left. Heather said she saw someone who looked like him outside being chased. That's when Stoufer fell against the glass door with blood all over his face and slid down. Heather's eyes got all red like she was about ready to bawl." While most prankers didn't create such gore, plenty of juniors found creative ways to get a good laugh. Some even became the victim of their own pranks. One Friday night, Jenny Schultz, Jessica Wilks, and Tori Christie were taken to a cemetery in Underwood by Amy Andersen and Lori Fehr. Andersen and Fehr had it planned that two boys from Underwood would be hiding in the woods, ready to scare the other three girls. " I was mad because Lori and I told the guys just to jump out from a tree, not chase us around with flashlights," said Andersen. "As they chased us, I wasn't sure if it was them or the man who took care of the cemetery, so I was just as scared. " Whether planning a vicious massacre or just a simple scare in the woods, juniors created interesting pranks. -Krissa Rossbund Mike Bradshow Scott Brandenburg Kim Brandis Jeremy Brewer Shellie Brown Kristen Capron Megan Caputo Toni Caputo Amy Champlin Stacy Chri tian en Tori Chri tie Brett Cihacek Brandon Clay Rusty Clevenger Calvin Colson Mike Colter Dan Colton Jim Comley Tyler Conawa~ Mark Cooper Ryan Cooper Darr n Coppock Tim Cordell Todd Cover Korey Cox Jennifer Dall Rick Day John Diercks James Dorris Andy Drustrup Niki Ellerbeck Bonnell Ellerbruch Allen Emmert Heather Ellingsen Chad Ellison Haley Evans Lori Fehr Leslie Feilen Heather Fent Brian Ferguson Jennifer Fields Heath Finerty Jon Fitch Coco Fossland Jennifer Freed Micky Frieze Theresa Frieze Michelle Glassgow Anne Goodman Jessica Goodman Jennifer Gregory Cindy Gress Heather Haines Chris Hall Dennis Hanafan Carrie Harrill Jim Hartzell Alyson Hecke Derrick Henry Debbie Hestness Chris Hinkel Clint Hinman Todd Hollinger Chris Holmes Jill Hovinga Nichole Hudson Pat Hughes Jeremy Hutchens Justin Hutchens Chad Hutchison Bryan Jensen Scott Jensen Katie Johannes Amy Johnson Clinton Johnson Jason Johnson Krissie Johnson Rachel Johnson Penny Jones Kristina Kachulis Kerry Karis Valerie Katzenstein Susan Keast Kerry Keegan Tony Kellett Ryan Kelley Chad Kenoyer Curt Kenoyer Mike Kidder Laura Kimrey Roger King Todd King Michelle Kinnecom Dedra Kirk Stephanie Knauss Kristi Knoernschild Juniors crave school changes including kinder teachers, open campus, bigger lockers "THE TEACHERS should pay more attention to the individual needs of students.

In fact, 3 o. clock signaled the beginning of a schedule ev~n more hectic t~an ~be school day, a schedule which caused their grades and social hves to suffer. Fehr, who worked two jobs to earn money for a trip to California, found that her grades dropped as a result of the many hours spent at work. "Last year I had a 3.9 GPA. This year it dropped to a 3.4," said Fehr. "Instead of getting A's and B's on tests, I was getting C's. Basically, I just blew off school." . For Julie Stueve, employed at Hy-Vee, working five to close often meant that she didn't get home until 11:30 p.m. and then had to stay up until 1 :30 or 2 ~.m. doing homework. "Sometimes I fell asleep dunng class because I stayed up so late the night before trying to finish my homework," said Stueve. Because of busy schedules, working students also found that their social lives sometimes suffered. "On Friday and Saturday nights, I want to go out with my friends, but by the time I get off work, it's late and I'm too tired to do anything," said Paulette Mitchell, who worked at Tbingsville. "I just want to go home, eat dinner, watch T.V., and go to sleep." Even though their jobs caused students to live a rushed, chaotic lifestyle, most wouldn't give up working. "On nights that I work, I feel really rushed," said David Pippert, "but I would never quit, because I'd miss having the extra money." 've mastered the art of mooching," laughed Jennie Wheeldon.

These students and their parents believed that doing well in school and just being a kid were their most important jobs. "My parents don't want me to work," said Andi Wheeler, who was involved in band, orchestra, drama and mock trial. "It's enough just going to school and doing extracurricular activities. I don't need another job." These students admitted they needed and enjoyed free time. "I have more time to do things and not as much stress," said Jason Johnson. "I get enough stress in school and stress in sports. Why should I get a job to add to that? I need time to relax, and a job would just interfere with my activities." Since parents agreed with these students' decisions not to work, Mom and Dad were willing to supply needed funds. "I received $11 a week for an allowance, which I usually spend on tapes, books, and beauty products" said Stacey Spratt. "My parents also give me extra money for lunch and sometimes for other school needs." Some parents found that providing money whenever needed proved to work just as well as a weekly allowance. "I just take money whenever I need it," said Johnson. "I don't think about how much I spend, but I don't abuse the privilege of having the money either. " Students who didn't work outside of school agreed that their job of just being a kid had such great hours and pay that they weren't willing to give it up. -Barb Wehrmacher Michelle Miller Paulette Mitchell Cathy Montgomery Jamie Mowery Shane Mowery Jennica Munch Lisa Nath Amy Negrete Jennifer Negrete Dennis Nice Denise ffbrien Tim Opal Jeremy Osborn Becki Owen Chris Parker Chris Pengra Mark Petersen Danny Phillips Michele Pietrzak.

He's more of a talker than a walker." -Chad Kenoyer "President Bush commented on how he was going to be an educational and environmental president. So far, all I've seen is stupid mistakes and bad decisions in the Middle East." -Heather Haines "I feel President Bush has put no emphasis on the war against drugs since the crisis in the gulf. He should wake-up and realize what country he is president of." -Elisa Benson " I feel over the years a lot of problems have built up in this nation and now is the time that action needs to be taken. President Bush has done a good job handing the situations, though." -Amy Andersen "Let's face it.

Riedesel's car wouldn't start when he tried to take LeClair home from Village Inn, where they had gone for pie after LeClair's debate tournament. After pushing the car into a parking lot, they called her parents. Although it was close to midnight, LeClair's parents were understanding and came to jumpstart the car. "I was frustrated, but I was more embarrassed than mad because I didn't want to look like a dork on our date," said Riedesel. "I felt like it was my ignorance that got us stranded, since the reason my car wouldn't start was hecause I installed my new stereo wrong."

Although most students didn't let an embarrassing experience keep them from going out again, some found humiliating situations led to disaster. "While Diane Kalar and I were watching Flatliners, I went to get pop and a big tub of popcorn," said Aaron Brooks. "When I came back, I dropped it as I sat down. I didn't get any on me, but she was sitting in popcorn the whole night! "At first, I thought it was hilarious, but I started pondering the situation and I thought, 'I'm sure this looks really good on my record.' I didn't know if she was mad, but the date was a failure - we never went out on a date again.'' Although Kalar and Brooks found themselves in a disaster, they laughed at the situation later. "At the time, 1 really liked him, so I felt embarrassed for him," said Kalar. "I didn't wa nt to make him feel stupid, so I just sat there. We're still friends and we can joke a bout wha t ha ppened. We sometimes ask each other, 'Want some popcorn?' and then we'll both laugh.''

Everyone says we're over in the Middle East to protect Kuwait, but the only reason we care about Kuwait is that they sell us oil. We should be over there to help Kuwait and their people." -Randy Ballenger "The United States is used to getting involved in other people's business and sticking our noses where they don't belong. We're probably going to go to war because both the President and the Iraqi's don't want to lose credibility at home. If we were seriously in the Middle East to stop aggression, then I would be more in favor of us being over there, but I think we just don't want to back down." -Mike Angeroth "At first, I thought we were in the Middle East because Hussein had American hostages. But now that they're gone, I think we're over there because our gas prices are too high. I think we should just hire a sniper to kill Hussein because nobody would have enough power to take his place. Then we would save a lot of time, men, and money, and Kuwait would be free." -Kirsten LeCJair Interested in what happens day after day in the Persian Gulf, Gere Nelson watches CNN's continuous news broadcast in the library on the twenty-first day of the war.

The shadows of the brick building overpower you as you make your way into your first hour class. Confused and quiet, you request the services of a senior to guide you to English. Suddenly, the senior and his three burly friends pick you up and stuff you into a locker. You have just experienced your first day of high school. Although this is an exaggerated scenario, some found that being a freshman had its embarrassing moments. Pranks were played in a variety of places, but the most common proved to be the bathroom. Dan DeRoos learned what the dreaded 'swirly' was like when two of his basketball teammates gave him one after practice. "These two guys came after me," said DeRoos. "One grabbed my feet and the other got my arms. I was trying to get out, but he had a good hold on my legs and I couldn't move. Now, every time I go in the locker room, I think I better watch out because they might do it again ." Although victims and perpetrators were sometimes in the same grade, most pranks were played by upperclassmen. Nate Barges and several other freshmen were the victims of a prank when they had to bob for apples in a toilet for freshman initiation. "Everyone gathered around chanting 'go, go!"' said Barges. " I didn't want to do it because I thought it was stupid, but everyone else did, so I did too. We did make sure they cleaned out the toilet first." Even though many emba rrassing moments were the result of carefully planned events, some occurred by accident. Mike Bass discovered how embarrassing the restroom could be when he was 'caught with his pants down.' "I was going to the bathroom when these two girls came flying in," said Bass. " I turned around a nd pulled up my pants like lightning. The most embarrassing thing was they were in my next hour, and they just sat there and laughed at me." Although no freshmen died of embarrassment, many found that one of their purposes in life was to provide laughs for others. -Kelli Smith PEER PRESSURE Demonstra ting acti vities used for freshman initia tion, Dudley M iller pus hes John Weseen's head into a toilet to bob for a pples.

" This was the opinion voiced by many hard working teachers even after average teacher salaries had risen from $21,690 in 1985 to $26,747 in 1989. Despite this rise of 23 percent since Governor Terry Branstad's promise to improve salaries in 1986, only seven out of 20 teachers polled said their salaries had improved significantly over the past four yea rs. Teache rs gave three main reasons their sala ries were inadequate. One of these was the great amount of stress resulting from the job. "We're all under a great amount of stress," said Peggy Rodriguez, foreign langu age instructor. "There's the stress of dealing with a lot of people every day. We're expected to always be in a good mood eve n when we have our own personal problems. There's a lso stress involved in fin di ng the time to do what we need to do. We a lmost always have to take our work home with us." Another factor was the years of education necessary to become a teacher. "People in engineering or a science related field have much higher starting salaries than teachers, even though they might have the same amount of education," said Orville Miller, math instructor. The final reason was that salaries had not risen with inflation. "Teachers are probably not better off now than they were in 1973," said Steve Barker, science instructor. "Our base sa laries have not risen as fast as the price of everything else has. We started to lose ground in about 1980." A lthough salaries did not reflect the amount of stress, time, and yea rs of education put in by teachers, some said a few improvements were being made. "Over the last five years we've done a better job improving salaries," said Jacque Hall, English instructor. "We've made some strides, but we still have many improvements to make." -Karen Barker SCHOOL BOARD. Glen Bahls. Mark B111ndenburg. Rita Sralock. Ke, in Monroe. Joanne Carril hers. [. Lloyd Marsh.

While the nation suffered a recession, Council Bluffs continued to profit and share. The Christmas season was a profitable one for area retailers. The Mall of the Bluffs enjoyed a record-breaking 8 percent increase in sales over last year. . Businesses not only profited, but also played an important role in the school system as well. With 56 businesses involved in the adopt-a-school program, area schools enjoyed several benefits that would have been impossible without their business pa rtners. " Ta rget rea lly helped our yea rbook staff organize the singing party at the Mall," said Krissa Rossbund . "They got together about eight volunteers who helped check IDs and hand out books." In return for the support of the business community, many students volunteered their time to city organizations. Up With Kids, a program designed to help working parents with after school babysitting needs, was just one of the programs students became involved in. Three times a week, Kathy Montgomery went to Bloomer to held entertain 15 kids.

While some got to know the tall, thin, gray haired stranger before school began, he remained unknown to most until he appeared at a pep assembly on the first day of school. On that day, he left students and faculty with an impression that would last a lifetime. Jim Lake, our new principal from Galt, CA, stood in the middle of the gym floor and asked that we recite the Pledge of Allegiance with him. As we mumbled the pledge that had not been part of our routine since grade school, sounds of chit chat rose over our monotonous recitation. Out of the blue, Lake's voice blared through the microphone as he demanded that we respect the stars and stripes. "We'll sit here all day if we have to," he said. "We'll sit until every one of you stands up and pays respect to this flag that means so much to so many of us in this room." It was then that we knew Jim Lake meant business. Finally, after two tries, the Pledge was recited to his satisfaction. "I thought it was strange to be saying the Pledge in the first place," said Chad Hutchison. "Then when he got upset because we couldn't say it right, we thought he was going to be really strict. But after a while, we knew he was only showing he cared." As the year went on, Lake continued to show his concern for students. He served food at lunch, gave us smiles and pats on the back in the halls, and congratulated us over the intercom. As students responded to Lake's warmth, a new spirit of cooperation and excitement seemed to emerge. Out of the blue, more of us arrived to class on time, kept the hallways clean, (continued on page 4) portive o -c Kenoyer ;tf AGIC CART RfDE With a terrified look on her face, Coco Fossland rides in a Target shopping cart while Amy Andersen and Heather Haines push during the second annual shopping cart races at the homecoming pre-game festivities.

Although we were surprised by our new attitude, it was nothing compared to the surprise we got when the Lynx faced Tee Jay on the football field. After three quarters of Tee Jay racking up 16 points against the powerless Lynx, the fourth quarter began with little hopes of winning. Then, out of the blue, the Lynx pushed through the Tee Jay defense and scored their first touchdown with less than 11 minutes left in the game. Therestwashistory. TheLynx scored two more touchdowns to defeat the Y ellowjackets 22-16. "The best moment in the season was that final touchdown against Tee Jay," said Scott Brandenburg. "The crowd went nuts, and I just felt numb." But football players weren'tthe only ones to surprise a crowd with their performance. At the first basketball pep assembly of the year, the winter guard, a new version of the color guard, was scheduled to perform. As the 19-member group marched onto the gym floor in their sparkling red jackets, most fans expected a less than perfect routine like those of past color guard performances. But after a bugle blared out the first measures of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," out of the blue came a near flawless performance that included three flag tosses and a short dance number by four of the girls. "When the crowd started cheering us on, we felt like all our hard work had been rewarded," said ChristinaMcManus. "It says a lot when the whole school's behind you like that." As the school year began, 1992 seemed to be a year full of surprises that came out of the blue. -Michele White U! hen we went out for a good Council Bluffs to the stadium before the time, we didn't mess around. homecoming game.

As John Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance" blared over the speakers, they joined hands and swayed back and forth to the music. This was the scenario when a sit- ;n was held after lunch on Hippie Day during homecoming week. While some students passed out flowers and blew bubbles others waved picket signs and dre~ peace symbols on their faces. "The sit-in was the best part of Hippie Day because it was like one big party," said Chad Hutchison. "Everybody was just dancing and having a good time doing things they wouldn't normally do." Although Hippie Day was the most popular, students showed their spirit on Nerd Day, Crazy Day, Hawaiian Day, and Spirit Day by developing different personalities for each. The days were part of the homecoming theme "Escapade." While tardies were usually frequent on Monday mornings, students made an effort to be prompt Oct. 14 for Nerd Day. Pocket protectors, thick glasses, and slicked back hair were essential items to complete an authentic nerd outfit. <?n Crazy Day, students used their creativity to generate the wildest outfits. While most dressed up in clothes of the opposite sex, others wore pj's or put their clothes inside out or backwards. "The girls' swim team all wanted to do something together for Crazy Day," said Angie Johnson, "so we wore our team suits, goggles, caps, FLOWER POWER. Bell bottoms and "Beetle" glasses adorn Rachel Warden and Kristy McClary, who walk down the ramp on Hippie Day. (P hoto by Amy Negrete) jackets, and towels. Some even brought kickboards. We had to walk up the stairs backwards because we wore fins on our feet, and the front of them wouldn't fit on the steps." Attire for Hawaiian Day included flower printed shirts, hula skirts, and sunglasses. Some even tried cracking coconuts in half to make bikini tops. To complete the outfits, the student council sold flower leis before school. Friday brought the most spirit, as students and faculty anticipated the homecoming game against Westside. Whether football jerseys, cheerleading uniforms, or plain street clothes were worn, red, white, and blue dominated the halls. To humor and entertain the crowd at the homecoming pep assembly, the porn pon squad invited senior football players to perform with them. As the players jumped into the air, kicked their legs high, and slid into the splits, students and teach~rs roared with laughter. "The whole week of homecoming events was so much fun," said Matt Allerton. "Everyone showed a lot of spirit, and our spirit was especially evident at the pep assembly. I think it was one of the best since I've been at this school." On Friday, spirit continued long past the school hours. Soon after the 3:05 bell rang, signaling the end of another school day, students were found in the parking lot taping posters, balloons, and streamers to their vehicles for the annual car rally to CB Stadium, which was attended by a record 52 cars. After arriving at the stadium, students formed teams for the car rally Olympics, where they competed against each other in several events before the football game.

Although the football game ended with a 21-59 loss, spirit and excitement still prevailed as students and teachers journeyed to the mall to pick up their 1991 yearbooks at the annual yearbook signing party. "It was neat to see everybody looking through their yearbooks," said staffer Kelli Smith. "Since school started, people have asked about the book. It feels good to see everyone so excited about something it took the staff so long to do." The week of festivities finally ended Oct. 19, with a dance sponsored by student council. Dressed in their best fall attire, students filed through a strobe lighted tunnel and into the big gym, where theatre masks and green, gold, and purple light posts transformed their night into a true "Escapade." Halfway through the night, the homecoming court made its way to the center stage for coronation. There Scott Jensen and Paulette Mitchell were crowned homecoming royalty. "I had a feeling I was going to win," said Paulette Mitchell. "I felt great when I heard them call my name. It shows times are changing when a black person in a nearly all white school can be crowned queen and everyone is happy for her."

He tried to dampen spirits by leaving us with spring-like weather, no money to spend, and dull, undecorated school building. But those who were thoughtful and creative spoiled his efforts. After Halloween was canceled because of bad weather, everyone expected the usual midwest winter that would leave inches of glistening snow to wake up to on Christmas morning. But when the big day finally approached, it became clear that the Grinch had taken away all hopes of a white Christmas, as he left midlanders with bright sunshine and temperatures in the upper 40's. Some students, however, went searching for winter weather. During Christmas vacation, I went to Keystone and Copper Mountain to ski," said Gere Nelson. "It was a lot better than being home where the weather was too warm for Christmas. In Colorado, there was snow and it was cold so it actually felt like the holidays." The Grinch didn't stop with stealing the snow. He also managed to rob students of their cash, in the name of recession. Most of them, however, used their imagination to come up with gift ideas that still made their Christmas special. "My sister and I didn't have a whole lot of money to spend on my parents," said Kellie Bottrell. "We wanted to get them something special, so we dug up all of our school pictures from each year and had them put on video and set to music. "On Christmas morning, we put the tape in the VCR and wrapped up the remote for them. As my mom pushed play and watched the tape, she got tears in her eyes." The Grinch's tricks on the economy affected parents' budgets even more, and many students were left with fewer presents under the tree. Yet, most didn't let the lack of gifts ruin their holiday. "This year, we didn't have presents at my house because my dad (continued on page 14) TROLL TIME.

She also broke her arm. It wasn't a very fun holiday." -Matt Timm Students undo (jrincli's ... ah Humbug lost his job," said Melissa Winn. "But this was definitely the best Christmas I've ever had because now I realize that the true meaning of Christmas is what you already have, not what you're getting. Christmas night, my family and I stayed up until 2 a.m. playing games and that really made us closer." Most students agreed that doing projects with their family was the best part of Christmas. "Every year, my cousins, brothers, sisters, and I make up a skit to perform in front of our families. We've been doing this as long as I can remember and it gets better every year. This Christmas, we made Santa Claus into a mass murderer." Meanwhile at school, the Grinch continued to steal the fun out of the Christmas Dance. Although the Foreign Exchange Club spent more than three months developing the theme "Ice Castles," many students found the dance disappointing. "The dance seemed empty this year," said Susan Keast. "A lot of seniors didn't have dates and didn't want to spend that much money." Although many students didn't enjoy the dance, they still found ways to make the night memorable. "We rented a room at the Residence Inn," said John Rocha. "There were about 30 people there, and we just sat around acting crazy and playing games." The Grinch also used his antics to take the fun out of past years' decorating contests, which had been held through the now defunct homeroom. "I was disappointed that the school wasn't decorated this year," said Becca Moline. "In our A.P. Chemistry class, we decided to have a little contest on our own. We each decorated our lab tables to see whose was the best." DECA and student council planned innovative fundraisers to keep up the spirit that the Grinch was trying to destroy. For the annual food drive, DECA members set up a volleyball game between the vol eyball and football teams. To attend, students had to either pay $I or bring two cans of food. Instead of bringing old toys from home for the annual toy drive, student council members decided to collect money in second hour classes to buy new toys. After money was collected, more than 80 new toys were bought by second hour classes for the less fortunate. "We thought a little kid would be even more excited to get a brand new toy instead of a hand-medown," said Chad Kenoyer. "When we bought the gifts ourselves, we could control the quality." Administrators also got in the act of increasing Christmas spirit. As students sat in their fifth hour classes, a big "Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!" blared over the intercom. While students and teachers waited to see what was going to happen next, they suddenly heard several loud voices echoing throughout the hallways. Dressed as two elves, a reindeer, and Santa Claus, the four administrators darted in and out of classes, throwing miniature candy canes everywhere. "Mr. Lake one day asked us if we could throw together some costumes," said vice-principal Melanie Shellberg. "We did it just to have some fun and excitement before Christmas, and it gave the kids a chance to see us in a different light." From traveling to find snow, to keeping spirit at school, students found several ways to spoil the Grinch's tricks on Chr:istmas. -Krissa Rossbund TREASURED MOMENTS.

"Once it got out that people could bet $2 on a square for a duck to poop on, people became interested," said Stanley Workman. Sponsored by the volleyball team, Duck Drop Bingo was just a sample of the activities at Lynx-0- Rama. With 17 booths, clubs took in a total of $4069 in tickets. "This year was the best year for Lynx-0-Rama," said Booster Club president Diane Hughes. "The groups took in more money, and the response we got from people was that it was fun!" As they manned booths ranging from the choir's face painting to the porn pon squad's tee-pee patrol, workers found ways to have fun too. "I helped with the Science Club booth," said Jason Christie. "The game was a dart-toss to pop a balloon. To add a little more excitement, we started making water.balloons. When they popped, water splattered all over everyone." Working at the booths wasn't the only way to have fun, though. With many games and prizes to choose from, everyone had plenty of chances to try their luck. "My favorite booth was the pie throwing booth," said Andy Smith. "Mark Cooper and I spent $1 O throwing pies at Mark Smith. There was no way we could miss our chance at him." Extra activities such as free video movies of the Three Stooges and a celebrity basketball game entertained crowds outside the booth area. A silent and live auction was sponsored by the Booster Club on Saturday night, where people had the chance to bid on things like spots in the teachers' parking lot. "For the live auction, my mom donated a five course dinner, served by members of the football team in tuxes," said Jon Fenner. "She talked me into dressing up in a tux at the auction. It sucked because I had to be there all night. I wanted to watch the game, but I would have felt dumb there in a tux, so I didn't go." Like Booster Club, DECA members used the winter blahs to their advantage, planning a Valentine's dance fundraiser Feb. 14. But just as Lynx-0-Rama caught on slowly four years ago, the new dance didn't attract much interest. "Our ticket sales started out slow," said Heather Williams, "about 10 a day, but we sold more at the door. We didn't want to make a big profit this year, though. We wanted to stress the idea of a court for each grade, and hopefully, it will become more successful." Since the dance was on Friday, DECA had only a few hours to transform the big gym into a Valentine's Day dream land. "Everyone in DECA helped set up for the dance," said Scott Brandenburg. "We began decorating during fifth hour and stayed 'til about 6:30. Everyone had a part in it, so we made it fun." After all the food had been ordered and the last balloon hung, DECA had spent a grand total of $1500. With 350 tickets sold, they broke even on the dance. With a successful fundraiser and a new idea, winter proved a great time for groups to make money. -Lori Fehr GOTCHA!!

"I didn't think something like that could ever happen to anyone like him!" Shocked feelings like Nation's swept across the country Nov. 7 when Magic Johnson held a press conference to announce that he was retiring from the Los Angeles Lakers because he was infected with HIV. Despite this announcement, many students said they still had respect for Johnson. "I still think that Magic is a great guy," said Pat Russell. "He definitely did the right thing by telling the public about his disease. Hopefully, he can reach more people this way. " Because Johnson contracted the virus through unsafe heterosexual contact, many also thought his announcement would cause more teens to be aware of AIDS and the consequences of unsafe sex. In poll of 130 students, 98 said Johnson's situation would cause an increase in safe sex. "Up until now, no really famo us person has gotten AIDS," said Carrie Brookhart. "Now that Magic Johnson has it, I think teens will take the time to listen to his advice about safe sex because he is an important role model that most kid look up to." Some teens weren't as optimistic, though. Thirty-one of the 44 students who reported that they were sexually active said Johnson's announcement wouldn't change their behavior. "When you get ready to jump into bed, I don't think Magic Johnson is going to be on your mind," said one junjor polled. Although a few didn't think Johnson's anouncement would make a difference, most agreed that if the spread of the disease were to be stopped, people needed to realize the seriousness of it and take precautions.

After weeks of struggle. 11 Soviet states declared their independence. Tired of an angered popu lu s, Mikha il Gorbachev, leader of the communist party, stepped down from his position, and Boris Yeltsin assumed the presidency. "I wa<; glad to hear that the Soviets had been released from communism, but this doesn't automatically mean we're going to have world peace,'' said Brian Kruse. After building up arms against them for 50 years, the U.S. was suddenly trying to keep the Soviet economy from collapsing so that Soviet nuclear weapons would remain in the hands of a stable government. The fall of communism was not the only turning point of 199 I, however. A burden of worry was lifted when American hostages Terry Anderson, Joseph Cicippio, and Allan Steen were fianlly released from Lebanon in early December, after years of futil e attempts to free them. "The count1)' worri ed about them for so long that it was a relief when they were finally released," said Christin a McManus. WATCHJNG THE CHANGE ...

But eight months and 30 interviews later, she earned mjnimum wage at JC Penney's. " J expected to make about $24,000 a year, but with the economy the way it is, people our parents' age are being laid off who have 30 or so years work experience," she said. "They can't find jobs, so they take the ones that recent college graduates normally would get." With the downsizing of America's major businesses such as Zale, which closed 400 stores; IBM, which cut 20,000 jobs; and General Motors, which laid off 70,000 workers, it's no wonder college graduates became dismayed. Even people who had been employed by the same company for 20 years or more lost their jobs and found it nearly impossible to land new ones. "I'm still lookjng for a full-time job because I feel I'm worth more than minimum wage," sllid Marcia Lamb, mother of Amber Nelson and former supervisor for the Census Bureau. 73 6% 53 National Unemployment Rate 1990-1991 I II III IV I II III IV 1990-1991 quarterly report from the 1992 Almanac "Right now, though, I have to settle for a part time job at Ray's Carpet." Even though Omaha's economy was praised as one of the strongest in the nation by the Wall Street Journal, some still felt the crunch of recession. "Since my dad lost his job at Mutual of Omaha, we had to put our house up for sale because of house payments and other bills," said Melissa Winn. "That was really hard for me because I've had to watch my parents' dreams die after they worked so hard to have the house built." According to the Aug. 19 Time magazine, nearly one 1nillion workers had been laid off. Although Iowa's unemployment rate was one of the lowest in the nation, it had gone up 14 percent compared to last year. To maintain their income, some residents were forced to move. Due to the closing of the U.S. West building in Omaha, where her father worked, Amy Hayes's family had to relocate to Denver. "When I found out we had to move, I was shocked," she said. "I've lived here all my life, and now I might have to start all over my senior year of high school." According to her father, Leslie Hayes, the company cut 30,000 jobs in the last 10 years and Fall 1991 News •• planned to operate in Denver and Seattle to stay competitive with the market. Although some residents found work loca11y after being laid off, they often settled for less pay. Curt Kenoyer sllid his father, who had worked at Food Services of America for four years, was laid off for three months before receivincr "' a job offer as a produce buyer. ms father made $5000 less annually, but Curt sllid he was content. "It makes you appreciate the thlngs you have because it could all be gone," he sllid. "We're more cautious with our money now." Students were also affected at their own jobs. Chris Jones had worked at Rhoden Auto Center a year before they laid him off. "It's weird because I used to work 30 to 40 hours a week and make $ 150," he said. "Now I _work at Drug Town, and I'm lucky if I get eight hours and a $40 check." Even though local economjc tatistics were much better than national ones, the positive reports meant little to those who felt the pllin of cutbacks and layoffs. SHE HAD SO MANY CHILDREN ...

"We sang songs and waved at everyone! These people on a motorcycle even stopped beside us and asked if we had anywhere to go. Tera sat down and told them that she was staying right there, and I just stood there because I couldn't stop laughing!" Like Hathaway and Roberts, many students embarked on their own strange and exciting adventures while searching for something to overtake boredom. After an in-service day, three swim team members, Mica Smith, Janet Danburg, and Allison Borman, wondered how to spend the extra hour they had before their two-hour swim practice. "We were so bored," said Borman. "We drove around and then decided to try and get ourselves lost. We turned down a bunch of backroads, but we always seemed to find our way out! Now that I think about it, I can't believe we ever did anything that stupid, but I guess we all had a pretty good time." Some students had the time of their life when they spent a night on the town in first class style. Dressed in their best threads Andrea Wheeler and a group of friends rented a limousine and rode over to The Old Market. While they were there, the group visited The Antiquarium Bookstore, ate at The French Cafe, enjoyed dessert at Ted and Walley's Ice Cream Parlor, and traveled through the streets on a carriage ride. "We must have spent over an hour in The Antiquarium Bookstore," said Wheeler. "We just stayed in there singing and dancing! It was one of the best times I've ever had." To increase the excitement of some adventures, students dared each other to do crazy things for a few dollars. In the early hours of one weekend morning, Bill Waugh and Chris Bauer ran down Twenty-Third Avenue in their underwear screaming as loud as they could to earn some extra money. "At first we weren't going to do it," said Waugh. "But then this guy said that he would give us $10 if we did, so we both thought that it would be great! We went down the street screaming so loud a bunch of people started turning on their lights. After that, we ran back to rny house as fast as we could so that we wouldn't get caught." Some students proved that a good practical joke was an adventure in itself. After purchasing 134 rolls of generic toilet paper, John Whyte and a group of friends decorated one sophomore girl's yard for nearly an hour. "There were two huge trees and a long row of bushes in the backyard, and when we were done you could barely see them," said Whyte. "We even spelled a few words in the driveway just before we left." In the late hours of another night, Whyte and his friends sneaked into Forest Glenn for a different adventure. Although the group bad originally intended to steal some pumpkins, their plans changed when they arrived. "We were all standing in a corner rounding up a bunch of pumpkins when this huge guy caught us. He said that he was going to beat us up, so we dropped the pumpkins and ran as fast as we could," said Whyte. Whether it was taking a stroll down the street in pajamas, or going to The Old Market in a limo, many students created their own adventures to relieve the monotony of life in the Bluffs. -Mary R yai1 TEE-PEE KING.

Here was Jesus about to be crucified, and we were all eating Kleenex!" -Theresa Savick 'Drama puts {earning in tlie ... potlight G athered together in a circle on the choir room floor, the cast of Godspell began to practice the final song in the musical. When it was time for Dan DeRoos, who had the part of Jesus, to sing, the rest of the group realized he was crying. In a matter of moments, they found themselves with tears streaming down their own faces. "All of a sudden, the magnitude of the play's message just hit us," said Melissa Timm. "I think that was the first time that Dan realized that his character was actually going to die and understood the significance of Jesus dying for our sins. That was the most beautiful experience I've ever had. We used up a whole box of Kleenex from crying that night." Through drama productions, students learned many valuable lessons. DeRoos learned that he could handle the challenge of playing the lead role in Godspell, despite what others said. "It was different being a sophomore and having the lead role," said DeRoos. "There were people who thought I was too young and couldn't handle it, but everything worked out great. I got a lot of good comments on my performance." For some who hadn't been quite as involved in theater in the past, even a small part was chaUenging. "I was in Pinocchio last year, but I didn't have a speaking part," said Carrie Brookhart. "This year in Antigone I had the part of the nurse and I had to learn how to memorize lines and work a lot on characterization. It was a valuable experience and a lot of fun." Others learned how to perfect their acting technique. "Godspell taught me so much about acting," said Jackie Daley. "By learning to concentrate, I was able to actually become my character. It is a skill that wiU definitely help me with future plays." While Godspell taught actors the importance of working well with others their own age, the children's theater production of Hansel and Gretel helped high school actors gain a better understanding of young children. "One day we were practicing a song and one of the kids started crying because he sang the wrong part," said Lisa Kehm. "I had to comfort him and reassure him that everything would be all right. That helped me to become more patient and understanding." Part of the challenge of a drama production was the close attention paid to details. Shannon Benna discovered how difficult this could be when she was responsible for finding costumes for I do! I do! "I spent eight or nine hours shopping in thrift stores looking for exactly the right costumes," said Benna. " It was a difficult job because I had to find costumes that could fit any time period, looked good on the actors, didn't cost much, and were easy to change out of quickly between scenes." Perhaps the most important lesson students could learn from drama was that they were capable of things they never though possible. "When I was in Hansel and Gretel I had a very tough schedule," said Andi Wheeler. "Besides the play, I was very busy with band and had several tough classes. Once the play was over, I looked back on everything and got a strong sense of accomplishment. I learned that the hours I had put in finally paid off because the play was a success and I was able to succeed in other areas." Through the challenge of this year's drama productions such as Godspell, Hansel and Gretel, and I do! I do!, students learned lifelong lessons that were not likely to be forgotten. -Kai-en Barker HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!

"I've spent more than $500 on my cards," said Johnson. "It's not easy figuring which is the best buy. You have to think about the shape the card is in because one little bent corner could lower the value by 15 percent. But when I see a really good card, I know it's worth the money." Like Johnson, 112 out of 127 students polled said they spent time and money on their favorite hobby. Although baseball card collecting was a common hobby among boys, with 24 out of 68 surveyed saying they were collectors, some favored more unusual pastimes, such as the mind game, Dungeons and Dragons Jake Ainslie, who started playing Dungeons and Dragons in the eighth grade, said he spent about 24 hours a week playing the game, which requires players to act out the adventures of Renaissance characters with the aid of dice. Instead of a game board, Dungeons and Dragons required only the player's imagination. "I love the way it makes me feel when I can let my imagination run wild," said Ainslie. "I try not to get too involved in it, though, because you can easily get hooked." Getting hooked on the game could cost lots of money. "You need books for a guideline," Ainslie said. "They tell what a cer- . tain character can do, or what kind of weapon would be best for the journey. They cost about $15 a piece, so you could probably go broke buying them. However, if you don't have the money to buy them, you can make up your own adventure." While some students preferred the mental battling of Dungeons and Dragons, others preferred hobbies which were physically challenging. Of the 59 girls polled, 15 said they had taken either gymnastic or dancing lessons at some time. Misty Morris, who began dancing at three, found her hobby sometimes painful, but she loved it. "When I was in a workshop in Houston, we danced for such long periods of time," she said, "that my legs felt like they were on fire. When I got home, I had to soak them in ice, they hurt so bad." Besides her Friday night dance class, Morris taught dance lessons Monday through Thursday for four hours and on Saturdays for seven hours. Like Morris, Shannon Rindone found that dedication to a hobby could be time consuming and painful. Rindone, who had taken gymnastic lessons for six years and attended Junior Olympics both in Florida and Kansas, practiced every night for three hours and almost all day Saturday. While competing at the nation's second largest meet of the year, the Sweetheart Invitational, Feb. 14 at the 72nd Street Holiday Inn, Rindone injured both knees on the vault, but only after winning first place in her level of competition. "There isn't a feeling more rewarding than after you've done a routine close to perfect, especially after you've worked so hard at it," Rindone said. Whether it was rolling dice to decide what to do next in a thoughtful game of Dungeons and Dragons, selecting the best buy at a baseball card show, or icing down sore muscles after an intense dance routine, students found hobbies to be an important part of their lives. -Erica WaiTen- ..

(Photo by Shannon Flynn) 'E~traorainary p[ans makg, prom ... nchanted W hile Theresa Savick lay on her bed listening to her radio two weeks before Prom, she suddenly decided she would go ahead and beg for a date. Savick hadn't even planned on attending Prom until the week before when Sweet 98 announced a contest in which some lucky girl would win a date to Prom with one of their DJ's. All the entrants had to do was write in telling why they were desperate for a date. "I thought it sounded interesting," Savick said, " but I got so busy that I didn't have time to do it. I finally decided on the next Wednesday to call and see if I could hand deliver my entry. They said fine, so I got a piece of paper and wrote the date of Prom and then in big letters, 'PLEASE!' " Two days later it was time for the drawing for the big date, and Savick's name was announced as the winner. "I was really excited when I got a phone call at work saying I had won," said Savick. "I knew it was going to be unique and fun." Savick's evening with Rodzilla, Sweet 98's night DJ, was definitely unique. She received a corsage and a bracelet as a special gift from her date, and they traveled in a limousine to a steak house for dinner before going to the dance. " I was really nervous because it was my first dance, and I was basically going on a blind date," Savick said. "But he made me laugh the whole night, and I'm glad I entered the contest because it was really fun." The 1992 Prom became extraordinary for many students like Savick, who went to extremes to make the night unforgettable. One student began the evening expecting nothing extraordinary to come out of it, but much to his surprise, he received an honor that would never be forgotten. "I wasn't going to go to Prom because I didn ' t have enough money. " said John Rocha, " but on the Wednesday before, I found out I made court, so I had to go. "When it was time for coronation, I was getting ready to clap for the guy that was going to win, and they announced my name as the king. I was so surprised. I just thought to myself, 'Oh my god, I can't believe this!' " Although others didn't receive an honor like Rocha's, two couples experienced a royal evening after they spent an extraordinary $300 on a limousine, which they rented for nine and a half hours. "We were going to rent the limo only until after Prom," said Joy Nelson, "but after we were in it for a while, we were having so much fun that we decided to keep it until after Post Prom. The chauffeur came in to Prom and danced with us, and at Post Prom, he came in and played games. "It was my first time in a limo, and it was a lot more expensive than I thought it would be but I'd definitely do it again." Although for some, spending a lot of money seemed to be a must for a spectacular evening, Prom committee members found they could be economical and still create extraordinary decorations. "During Viesha at Iowa State, I went to see my brother, who is in the TKE fraternity," s aid Amy Thatcher.

So I had my mom pull the car up right by the float, and my brother told me to help myself to whatever I wanted off of it. " I took about 20 flowers and a big owl, and we used them all around the coronation stage. It saved us some money and made the stage look a lot brighter." After everyone had enjoyed the dance, it was time to move on to Brunswick bowling alley for the Post Prom festivities. One student discovered that his Post Prom experience wasn't as extraordinary as he first thought. After he earned thousands of dollars in paper money from gambling, he tried to spend a bit too much in the pawn shop before the night was over. "I had been playing craps all night, and I had all my money in stacks of 10," said Mike Angeroth. "When I counted it, I thought that in each stack of 10 there was 100 thousand dollars, so I. ~bought I had millions of dollars. But really there was only ten thousand dollars in each stack. "When I went shopping in the pawn shop, I bought almost everything in the store, and I went to pay for them and told the lady taking money that there wasn't enough for me to buy. Then when she took more than half of my money for the first few items, I realized what I had done, and I felt really stupid, and I'll never forget it." No matter what kind of extraordinary evening they had, most Prom goers would never forget the evening. -Michele White CUDDLIN' CLOSE.

If you want to have fun, wait until everyone's name has been called before you do it." Those were words that Principal Jim Lake constantly repeated to seniors during meetings throughout the year. If any of the embarrassing activities occurred, he threatened to stop the 1992 graduation ceremony and send everyone home. Since seniors knew beforehand that silliness would not be tolerated during the ceremony, they planned other graduation events that would be memorable. For Melody Barajas' graduation party, her family rented the Mile-AWay hall. While most graduation open houses consisted of cheese and meat trays, punch, and lots of adults, Barajas' celebration became more of a party than an open house. For food, Barajas served enchiladas, Spanish rice, taco salad, and refried beans. To entertain her guests, she hired a DJ to play for five hours. With more than 100 students there, the dancing and singing never stopped. " I had fun because her party wasn't like a normal open house where there are tons of adults and you have to behave," said Jill Hovinga. "A bunch of my friends and I went over to the DJ's table and he let us sing into the microphone." Entertainment was also the key to fun at Amy Negrete's party. Since her gathering took place in her aunt's backyard, her family built a wooden platform for the guests to dance on while a DJ played music. To top off the night, Negrete rented a triple stretch limousine for two hours. She and her friends drove all over Omaha and Council Bluffs. "We had a blast in the limo," said Negrete. "While we were driving around in Omaha, these guys pulled up next to us and squirted us with these big waterguns." One family wanted to spice up the traditional open house, so they used a theme throughout the pa rty. Because Todd Cover planned to major in golf management, his parents prepared a golf party for him. Before guests even arrived at the party, they were aware of the theme because his invitations read , "Todd's Teeing off into the Future. " But the theme didn't end with the invitations. In Haymarket Hall, where the party was held, 18 tables with green tablecloths stood for each hole on the golf course. A centerpiece of a golf ball, a numbered flag in the hole, and several wooden tees decorated each table. Once the parties were over, all that was left was the ceremony. When the night of graduation finally arrived, the seniors behaved well, just as Lake had asked them to. "I was thinking about bringing stuff to throw, but Mr. Lake gave us death threats about it the whole year," said Aaron Krauth. "This year, it se~med like people were scared to do anything. Even though he said we could do something after everyone's name had been called, nobody was sure what be would do." Although the wild and c razy antics were missed, some seniors appreciated the ceremony. "It was good that everyone's name was heard this year," said Misti Stewart. "When Mr. Lake told us we could set a new example, it seemed like it would be neater to celebrate at the end than to mess around during the entire ce remony. " E ven with a quiet cer emony, through creative parties, seniors still had enough fun to make their high school graduation memorable. -Krissa Rossbund PASS IT ON.

Life & death by Krissa Rossbund With feelings of shock and sadness, students stood in clumps outside of the school building on the morning of May 1. Attending classes was the last thing on their minds because they had learned that Josh Eyre '91, had been killed in a motorcycle accident on Frank Street. " I was at the hospital when I found o ut that Josh didn' t make it," said Chris Jones. " I couldn't believe he was gone. I just sat and stared at the wall for the longest time. " Along with grief over Eyre came concern for junior Heather Fox, who was also ridi ng the bike and was thrown 150 feet. Fox suffered a fractured knee and other minor injuries. "On the day after the accident, Heather had big cuts on her face where the skin was gone," said Gere Nelson. "Everyday since I've seen her, s he 's improved so much." When students had gotten over the shock of the accident, many c hecked o ut of school May 4 to attend the funeral. According to Meyer Funeral Home, more than 600 people filled the fu neral home during the service. "His death was such a big shock to all of us, but we just stood together," said Todd Cover. "It m ade us realize that life is short." In order to take away some of the pain, students tried to remember all of the good times with Eyre.

Jn a state of even greater surprise, many Americans got an inside look a t the U.S. Senate hearing on sexual harassment charges against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. Before the senators decided Thomas was not g uil ty of sexua l harassment and voted to confirm him to the court, viewers heard discussions about pubic hairs on Coke cans and the size of ma le sex organs, which were topics Thomas was a lleged to have discussed with former e mployee, Anita H ill. " I don ' t think it was necessary to bring o ut the sexually graphi c details," sa id Ke lli Smith. " It sho uld have o nl y been brought to the S upreme Court's attention, but not to the public 's knowl edge.

For many, the thought of parties conjured up pictures of drunk and drooling kids falling all over the place before finally passing out in their own puke. "People do a lot of weird things when they're drunk. I don't want to do anything weirder than I would sober. I like to have a clear head." A Full House -Landon Knauss But contrary to popular belief, more students were leaving parties just as sober as they'd arrived. In a poll of 232 students, 168 said they had been to alcoholic and non-alcoholic parties, and of those 168, 100 said they preferred non-alcoholic parties. "At non-alcoholic parties you can have fun without worrying the next day about what you did," said Deann Klever. "They are also tons more fun." Like Klever, many favored non-alcoholic parties because of fun activities. "At one party I bad a scavenger hunt," said Carrie Spann. "I made a list of about 20 items, and we searched the neighborhood for them. We got pretty weird looks going up to strangers and asking to borrow their toothbrush!" Although the majority of nonalcoholic parties were planned for no reason, some were thrown for special occasions. "Dudley Miller and I wanted to do something to kick off homecoming week and to unify us senior studs," said Jen Wheeldon, "so we planned a hayrack ride. Everyone had a good time." Birthdays were another reason for throwing kool-aid kegs. Each year Jon Fenner' s mother planned a unique way to celebrate his birthday. "For my sixteenth birthday m mom hired a magician to entertain us," said Fenner. "He bad Kelly Knudson come up, and after stuffing a scarf down her shirt, he pulled it out and a bra came out with it. Everyone was rolling with laugh· ter." Since her seventeenth birthday was near Halloween , Nancy Kemmish decided to have a birth· day costume party. "Everyone was dancing and ' trying to bus stop," said Kemmish. "but we couldn't get the steps and everyone kept stepping all over · each other. We had a great time dancing and goofing off." From scavenger hunts to hayrack rides, most students found they could have a good time without alcohol. -Melody Barajas .

Whether they decided to drink or not, 187 students out of 282 polled said they had attended drinldng parties. "Everyone I know goes to drinking parties," said one junior girl. "It's hilarious to watch others when they're drunk." Walking into a bonfire and perfonning strip teases were a few examples of drunken entertainment. But sometimes a drinking party could turn into a nightmare. Woo s, an mt man ance at Nancy Kemmish's Halloween/birthday party Nov. 2.

Of 100 students polled, 29 said they worked after 9:30 p.m. three or more times a week. Eighteen students said they worked past 11 p.m. more than once a month. Late work nights took their toll on students who were often forced to deal with more stress, less sleep, and unfinished homework. "If someone was considering getting a job where they'd work late, I'd tell them don' t do it," said Renae Hartley, who worked late hours at Burger King. "You can forget about your social life and your homework. You go from being able to handle it all to being able to handle nothing." Forty-three percent of students polled said working late sometimes affected their homework. "Last year I'd come home from school, throw down my books, and go to work," said Chad Theilen, who worked at Hy-Vee three to four nights a week after 9:30 p.m .. "I'd get home late and instead of doing my homework, I' d j ust go to bed." Lack of sleep due to long hours sometimes caused students to stay home from school. In a poll of 100 students, 19 said they sometimes came late or skipped school after a late work night. If they weren' t able to catch some z's at home, students were known to nod off in class. "The next day at school I fall asleep," said Theilen. "People look at me and say, 'You worked last night.' You can just tell by looking at me how tired I am." Fortunately, Council Bluffs businesses realized the problems working late created.

Other students found different friendships while volunteeri ng at Jenni e Edmundson. "It's neat talking to the patients," said Carrie Harrill. "I rememberone day this old man called me into his room. I had no idea who he was, but as I sat in his room talking to him, I found out he only lived a few houses down from me."

"I park my car way out there because after all the money I spent on it, I need to protect it, " said Wells. With the help of her brother, Wells rebuilt the engi ne, did a paint job, and total ly refurbished the interior of her '71 Camero.

"Worki ng on my '72 Chevelle gives us time to spend together." Ruppe bought the '72 Chevelle for $ 150, and after three years of restoration, the car was worth $1600. Not all students were as satisfied with the results ofrefurbishing their cars, though. "I bought a '64 Falcon which I constantly worked on," said James Dorris. "I put $3500 into the car and it still didn ' t run. Finally, I bought a brand new 199 1 Chevy Sonoma truck. I work 30 hours a week, but it's worth it to have a nice car that run :' Although students spent long hours, hard work, and much of their own money for a nice set of whee ls, students fo und in the long run their car was worth the effort. -Amy Springer From fender benders to pile ups, consequences cause some to 'CRASH 'N' BURN Cars 'A. s I was driving to volleyball practice, I ran into an 83-year old man," said Rachel Page.

Although not all crashes were as harmful as Paige's, many found themselves dealing with the consequences of an accident. lligher insurance rates and 1 cost of repairs were the biggest downfalls of car wrecks. However, some students decided to save money and not report the accident to the insurance company.

Anticipating long lectures and harsh punishments, some worried about their parents' reaction, but most found their parents unexpectedly understanding. "When I was in an accident, my parents didn 't punish me," said Charles Richey. "In fact, they forced me to drive when I didn't want to. They said ifl didn't drive right away, I might never drive again." Most said their driving had been affected by their accident. "It was raining when I wrecked my car, so now I'm nervous when I drive in the rain." said Lori Fehr. "Reckless drivers make me nervous, too, because I know what can happen."

Although this warning had been drilled into teens' minds since the word sex first became part of their vocabulary, many students still neglected to practice safe sex.

"It's stupid to have sex without protection, and I always ask why I let myself do that." When students were careless about using birth control, pregnancy was their biggest concern afterwards. "One night my boyfriend and I had sex without using a condom," said one senior girl. "Afterwards, I was scared to death. Because I was so worried, my period was late. I called places to get abortion prices, but everything ended up all right." Although girls were sometimes thought to be alone in their fears of pregnancy, some males shared their concerns. "Even when I use protection, I worry about getting the girl pregnant," said one senior guy. "A few times we almost had to go to Planned Parenthood for a test. I know it only takes one ti me for so many bad things to happen that can change your life forever." Although many worried about pregnancy, most did not fear AIDS. "I don' t worry about AIDS because I haven ' t been with enough guys," said the junior girl. "I've trusted the people I've been with, which isn' t too safe ." Yet, when pro basketbal I player Magic Johnson announced he was HIV positive, 75 percent of the students polled said they thought Johnson's announcement would cause teens to practice safe sex more often. "When I heard about Magic, it made me more aware that it's not just homosexuals who get AIDS,,. said another senior girl.

For Goldman, who visited for two weeks as part of a sister city exchange program with Toblosk, Russia, roller skating was one of the least surprising aspects of American life. " I had read about America's conveniences," said Goldman, "but the variety found in your grocery stores still shocked me." The size of AL also shocked Goldman. "Soviet schools can' t compare," she said. "We have 3,000 students in a school probably one-third the size of AL and classes of 35 to 40 students." Goldman was also surprised by friendlier teacher/ student relations. "You greet your teacher the way you greet each other," she said. "That is impossible in our country."

(Photo by Amy Negrete) or competitions, pleasure, students experience cultures from sea to SHINING SEA Travel T hough some people only dream of traveling out of the country, a few students experienced building houses in Mexico, competing in Jamaica and Italy, or touring France last summer. Kim Gift, Brad Rolfe, Amy Thatcher, and Sandy Walker went to Tijuana, Mexico with their youth group to build houses for the homeless. During their stay, they saw much poverty. "The first day we went to our worksite, I couldn' t believe it," said Walker. 'The houses were four pieces of wood, there was garbage everywhere because they had no sanitation system, and the dirt roads were washed out." Paulette Mitchell also saw poverty when she went to Kingston, Jamaica to compete in the Junior Pan Am Games. "We stayed in a college dorm close to the tra~k," said Mitchell. "The mattresses smelled like urine, the floors were filthy, and the bathroom was terrible!" Mitchell competed against people from all over the Americas and took fifth place out of 15 in the shot put. While Mitchell was competing in Jamaica, Heather Fent was in Corridonia, Italy playing volleyball against Italian teams. Fent, who read about the trip in a magazine article and applied, said the trip was worth it. "I loved Italy!" she said. "By the time we played our last game, we had a huge crowd cheering for us! I stayed with an Italian family . Before I left, they invited me back next summer." Seven students who visited France for three weeks also spent part of their time with French families.

When I wrote home, a couple words of every senfence would be Frenc h. I'd go to bed with a headache from thinking French." "After spending four days in the middle of poverty, I was glad to be back home," said Walker. "But now I can' t wait for next summer.

Silently, they reached into their hearts, searching for the right words to say when their turn came to offer a prayer. "Whenever one of my classes discussed abortion or sex, I wouldn't say anything.

(Photo by Jim Brown) Some youth group members studied the Bible in such depth that their knowledge became the basis of serious competition. In the First Christian Church Bible Bowl, students had to remember facts from 50 chapters of the Bible. Every month teams went to competition, where participants took a 200 question test, with the top 20 receiving honors. "It's hard work, but it pays off because at the same time, you're learning what God's will is for your life, " said Andrea Bertleson. Youth groups also helped many develop an appreciation fo r Christian music. The Woodland Community Bible Church went to a Dallas Holm concert to s upport missionaries from South America. "It was a very uplifting concert," said Penny Jones. "By the end, half the congregation was down in front crying, including me." But youth groups had their fun moments too. Mica Smith, a member of St. Paul's Lutheran youth group, participated in a softball league that involed other area churches. "I loved playing softball because it wasn' t very competitive," said Smith. "You can relax and talk to your friends, and not worry about winning or losing." Whether prayi ng or playing, students fo und their youth groups provided special support for living life the way they believed God wanted them to. -Emilee Applegate Living by the Word On a Saturday a fternoon, Pa t Conn and Lisa Domingus read Bible scriptures in Domingus' living room.

(Photo by Jim Brown) After accepting Christ.Lnto their lives, born again Christians find guidance, new friend through prayer Everyone had a friend to lean on and ask for advice when they needed it. For some students that friend was God. Like a good friend, many students felt they could ask God for guidance. "God helps me make decisions," said Becky Lee. "Whether I want to go to a dance or go out with a guy, I feel I can talk to Him about it." Students said the best way of talking to God was through prayer. Pat Conn, who asked Jesus to be his personal savior last year, said his church encouraged praying in a quiet place for 15 minutes. For Conn that quiet place was his bathroom. "My bathroom is the only place where I can be alone," said Conn. "My church told us to light a small candle and pray. I usually pray around 4 a.m. until the candle burns out, which is about an hour to an hour and a half. I call it my walk with God. When I'm done, I feel like I just had a long talk with a close friend." Whether for guidance or the companionship of a friend, students found the relationship they built with God to be one of the most important of their life. "I know my friendship with God is everlasting," said Conn. "He is a person who will always be there for me giving me unconditional love. Now everything I do, I do to glorify God." -Kelli Smith Bonding Some create spec i al fr iendsh ips w ith a parent I t was a Saturday afternoon on the Missouri River.

Kerplunk! Splash! For Tilley and her father, it was tradition that if she caught the first fish, he pushed her in the river. Twenty-eight of 100 students polled felt they had good relationships with their parents. Like Tilley, many planned activities to strengthen relationships. "Not too long ago my mom and I put in a new exhaust system," said Brad Negrete. "If there are things to be fixed on the car, we try and fix them together." In almost every case, relationships between students and parents were based on communication. "I feel comfortable talking about almost anyhing with my mom. She always liste ns to me and tries to understand my problems," said Becky Fichter. Students who took the time to build a close relationship with their parents felt their efforts were well worth it. -Heather Binns In Remembrance To share her accomplishments with her deceased father, Kelli Smith visits his grave.

AlthoughHeatherBinns didn't visit her mother's gravesite regularly, she struggled to keep her mom's memory alive. "I try to remember the good times we had instead of the bad," Binns said. "Since my mom died when I was only five, I don't have a lot of memories, but one thing I really remember is when we used to play Peek-a-boo. I'd jump into her arms and she would tell me how much she loved me." Other students devoted special days to remembering their parent. "Even though my mom died six years ago, my family still celebrates her birthday," Ryan Kelley said. "We buy a little cake and remember all the good times." Although a parent's death was the most difficult thing students had to endure, most finally found a measure of peace. 11 My dad, who was the chief deputy sheriff, was killed ten years ago in the line of duty. It took me a long time to get over it.

"I ran to Mr. Forsee and asked him if it was normal for your feet to be blue," Clifton said. "He said, 'Oh my God, we have to get you water!' It took five buckets of water for the swelling to go down." Clifton had gotten frostbite while kneeling on the banks of the Missouri River to fill test tubes with bacteria samples for an AP Biology lab. " I was the only one who had to get in the water," said Clifton. "All I had on was tennis shoes, and every time I bent down to get a sample, the water would come up on my feet. It was cold that day, and my feet felt numb, but I never thought I had frostbite." Despite blue feet, Clifton said the field trip was both educational and fun . Slammer 'lime When a school bus carrying about 30 government students stopped in front of a big sterile building in Carter Lake, students had no idea what to expect. The field trip's purpose was to inform students about what a penitentiary is like and how it is run, but many students were frightened when they walked in and stood face to face with drug dealers and murderers. "Usually, when you think of a prison, you think of people being locked up," said Andy Sorensen. "The inmates were walking around, talking, and some were playing basketball. It was really surprising." Some students felt being separated from the prisoners only by yellow lines on the ground was very scary. "You had to trust them not to do anything," Michele White said. "The scariest part was some of the inmates were coming really close to us and making disgusting comments. I was so scared that I grabbed on to Andy (Sorensen) and made him stay with me."

When they got their candy, they anxiously opened up the bag and began to sort it into groups. "We had 15 pieces of candy, and before we could eat it, we had to sort it all into groups," Diane Kalar said. "We found three characteristics the candy in each group had in common. For one group, we put Hershey's kisses and chocolate hearts together and said they were foil-wrapped, chocolate, and made in America." The students worked together to brainstorm for ideas. "Working alone, I would have gotten stumped because I only look at things one way," said Beth Linberg, "but with four people, we got different ideas so if one way of grouping didn't work out, another would." Manual Labor "After years of rumored sightings at 7-ll's and B.urger Kings across the country, Elvis Presley, the king of rock-n-roll, has stepped forward to announce that his death in 1977 was actually an elaborate hoax." This was not an excerpt from a supermarket checkout line tabloid. It was the introduction to the installation section of a VCR manual. The manual, which was designed to look like a tabloid, was produce? by students in instructor Trace Pickering's English classes as a final assessment of their ability to make technical writing readable. "We had to make a VCR manual in a new and original way," said Karen Barker. "My group did a tabloid, so we had sections like 'Elvis is alive and tells how to install VCR' and 'VCR and remote have affair. " ' Though it seemed easy to rewrite a VCR manual, students found it difficult to make it interesting. Using pop-up diagrams, a children's book format, Peanuts characters, and a talking VCR were only a few ways students made their 10-20 page manuals stand out. Students worked in groups and were graded on how well they worked together to produce a final product. -- Scrabbling to Learn With sweat dripping down their foreheads, Landon Knauss, J.J.

"Before vocabulary tests, we got into groups and formed crossword puzzles on a scrabble board," said Knauss. "Teams with the most words won. Five minutes before time was up, I noticed the first word put on the board was misspelled. We tried to rearrange words to hide it; we just hoped she would overlook it."

The project was an example of authentic assessment, which forced students to demonstrate their skills and understanding rather than guess at answers on a test. "I think new assessment has really helped me prepare for my future." said Tim Riedesel. "In real life, when you learn something at work, they're not going to test you over it; they expect you to produce something from it, and that's what new assessment makes us do." No Parabolum Although math class usually consisted of dry, difficult exams at the end of each chapter, students in instructor Ron Lakatos' Algebra 3-4 classes created characters named Oompa Loompa and Waldo to replace the typical test. To show they understood how to graph and write equations for parabolas, students created projects ranging from "Wizard of Oz" videos to "Where's Waldo?" stories. "We wrote about a girl named Oompa Loompa who traveled through a maze to find Waldo," Danita Voss said. "She came up to a door, and to get it open, she had to answer a riddle about parabolas. When she reached Wal do, she answered one final question before he was set free. " Students agreed the project was a refreshing change from the typical homework assignments and tests. "I was really glad we got to express our creativity," Jeremy Wichman said. "Even though our project took four and a half hours outside of class, it was really worth the extra time we took to complete it." war Zone Sitting behind a table in a makeshift newsroom, Michelle Mooberry, clad in a blue and grey striped suit and Sam Donaldson eyebrows, reported the effects the war in Yugoslavia had on Macedonia, one of its states. ·Meanwhile, Angie Parker and Kim Carlin waited in Mooberry's back yard, pretending to be on location reporters. When Mooberry finished, the camera man focused on Parker and Carlin, so the world could see the damage. "We had to study the effect the war in Yugoslavia had on different states," Mooberry said. "There was a lot of research involved, but the video was fun and we really know the information now." As part of new assessment, Larry Brown, world history instructor, had students do projects instead of taking tests. "Some people freeze up on tests," Parker said, "but with projects, instead of saying what the teacher wants us to say, we get to say what we want to say." -Kim Gift Und ercover Because instructor Ron Lakatos salutes a huge pair of underwear in class, Desiree Golden salutes Sarah Weber's underwear to begin a presentation on parabolas.

While this may seem like a typical party scene, there was one big difference. These were all AP Chemistry students holding a party to study for a test the next day. Despite occasional periods of goofing off, students used this time to go over their notes and discuss possible test questions. "It is a good way to prepare for tests because there are a lot of people to exchange ideas with," said Chad Hutchison. "If you have a question, at least one person is bound to know the answer and help you out." Others liked the chance to get together with friends. "If I studied alone, I would probably get the same grade that I get from studying in a group, but this way is more fun," said Mindy Romans. "It's helped me become closer friends with the people in my class." Helping Hands With books and papers spread out in front of them, Nora Greer and her tutor, Coco Fossland, went over a complicated algebra problem that Greer bad trouble with in class the day before. By going over examples, assignments, and tests with F8ssland, Greer improved her grade in algebra. "Even after meeting with Coco once or twice, my daily grade started to go up," said Greer. "We make very good use of our time and get along really well." Although a record 44 students wanted to tutor under the new Peer Tutor program, some students chose to go elsewhere for help and even paid to be tutored. Jen Steger paid $12 an hour to be tutored in trig by instructor Ron Lakatos. "I feel much more comfortable asking a teacher questions," said Steger. "I'm confident Mr. Lakatos knows what he's doing because he has experience." Whether receiving help from peer tutors or paying professionals for help, students found their money and time were well spent. P,pes of Wrath "Just by using 'Where There's a Will, There's an A' you can improve your study habits and never get another F again!" exclaimed the smiling man on the television. To many students, "Where There's a Will, There's an A," which consisted of video tapes and a book, seemed like the answer to all of their prayers. After using it, however, they were disappointed. "I borrowed the tapes and started watching them 20 minutes every day," said Aaron Grenier. "I already knew most of the suggestions the tapes gave. It was a waste of time and it didn't help me at all." Some were made to watch the tapes by their parents. "My parents forced me to watch the tapes, and the whole thing got really old after a few hours," said Ryan Wheeler. "I've used maybe one of the hints they gave about bow to take tests, but that's it." Despite promises made about the tapes, students found the miracle cure for F's had yet to be discovered. -Karen Barker 'J'Utortime Takin' it easy In a tutoring session after school with instructor Ron Lakatos, Jen Steger learns how to do a trig proof.

Many students thought of Power Mechanics as an easy class, but for Brian Ferguson it became a hobby. Ferguson had taken the class two years, and he enrolled in independent study of mechanics and welding his senior year. "I really enjoy building, repairing, and fixing up things," Ferguson said. "I do a lot of repairs on the farm because my dad's friend has a welder. Once I welded a lawnmower back together, and I also do a lot of work on engines. Knowing you can take an engine that doesn't work and make it work is a really good feeling." Besides building at home, Ferguson began to use his talents to do repairs for the school. "Mr. Allen told the janitors to bring down desks that were broke, and he would find someone to fix them," Ferguson said. "So at the beginning of the semester, I started welding them back together. It's neat to do something for the school and have fun too." Golden Child The last thing Tim Cordell expected was to have one of his photographs entered in the Iowa Wes tern Air Fair. It was even more of a surprise to him when he won a Gold Key, the highest award given at the contest. "It's only my first year in photography," Cordell said. "I had won awards for my art before, but I had no idea that one of my pictures would win." The award winning picture was a 3-D shot of Eric Bemer, created by photocopying a picture and laying the copies on top of each other. "The thing I like best about photography is that you get to do so many neat and different things," said Cordell. "You can get people's expressions and make them come out on paper, and the work is all yours, no one else helps you. Not only did Cordell win the Gold Key, but his photo also went on to competition in New York and Chicago. Nice Threads Armed with a pattern and yards of fabric, Carrie Widtfeldt sat at the sewing machine and prepared to make a blouse. Her only assignment was that it include either a zipper or buttons. . "I really like the freedom in sewing," Widtfeldt said. "Mrs. Ford just tells us certain things the project has to include and the rest is up to us. It's nice getting a choice of your own design and fabric. . Widtfelt also made a jumper and a sweatshirt, but the blouse took the longest to finish. "It was a harder pattern than the others," she said. "The directions were more difficult, so I had to read carefully." Widtfelt enjoyed wearing her creations. " I enjoy knowing I did it myself and that no one else has one like it," she said. -Kelli Smith Measuring up C utting edge With ruler in hand, Scott Hamling and Mandy Croson draw a three dimensional view of a wooden block during fifth hour drafting.

"I was seven points from an A in chemistry, and some people were seven points from a B or C, so we asked him if there was anything we could do for extra credit," said Ryder. "He had a stack of transparencies sitting there, and he told us we could clean them all for extra credit." Thinking it would be an easy task, the students took up Schmoker's offer and made an assembly line in the chemistry lab. One table of students washed, one table dried, and another stacked. "We had so much water running into the sink that it clogged up and we were left with this sink of bright blue water," said Ryder. "When we told Schmoker about it, he told us to get the plunger and clean it up. There was no way any of us was going to stand on the table and stick the stupid plunger down the sink. We ended up leaving it for him to do." Even though the students left the real cleaning job to Schmoker, they still managed to get their extra credit points to raise their grade. ---Burden of Proof With chalk covered hands, Nicole Hansen stood at instructor James Sutherland's chalkboard working out a proof to earn extra. credit points for her geometry class. Students were allowed to put the proofs from the assignment on the board for 10 extra points. "Most of the time we get proofs for assignments. If I know I did bad on the assignment, I put a proof on the board," said Hansen. "This way I get 10 points to help raise my grade." Even if students got the proof wrong, Sutherland did not deny them the extra points they had worked for. "If the proof is wrong, we still get the points," said Hansen. "We don't feel dumb because he doesn't make a big deal about it. It also gives him a chance to see what exactly it is that we are doing wrong so he can explain it to us." Homecookin' Spreading the sauce on her pizza crust, Rikayla Kachulis baked herself 100 extra credit points for foods class. For extra credit, students were encouraged to cook at home. Kachulis baked pizza and bread and made a non-alcoholic strawberry daiquiri. To prove they did the actual cooking, students were required to bring a note from a parent and a sample of the food. "When I was making the pizza at home, I had to make half of it without cheese because my sister's allergic," said Kachulis, "But there was so much topping on the one side that it slid clear over to her side. Then when you picked it up, it all fell apart." Even though Kachulis didn't really need the extra credit, she still collected 300 points. "I did it to insure my grade," she said. "I figured I might bomb a test or burn a project sometime and this would save my grade.' ~ -Jacki Hayes All in the cards poster points After making flashcards for a point per card, Chad Thielen, Andy Drustrup, and Renee Otto review theirs for a calculus test.

"In economics class we were each given a pretend $1000 to spend, so I bought into Phillip Morris," said Muehlig. "The class continued to check the market for five weeks and after the time was up, we sold. I made over a $200 profit!" Although he had to sell after a short time, he learned long term investments were better. "If you buy into a stock, you shoµld plan for a long-term investment," he said. "Long-terms tend to grow and are of less risk." Even though the risks he took weren't real, Muelhig learned a valuable money making technique that would last him the rest of his life. ---Cracked Up Danielle Norgard walked slowly into her Child Care class, feeling an emptiness in her heart after the death of her six-hour old baby in a freak accident. "I came home from school and sat my egg-baby down on the table," said Norgard. "My cat then jumped on the table, sending my baby crashing to the floor. My cat ended up eating my egg off the floor." Students in instructor Patti Ford's Child Care class played the part of parents to the egg-babies to learn t~e responsibility of parenthood. The students named their little eggs, made miniature clothes and baskets for them, and carried their fragile offspring everywhere they went as part of their grade. If their babies got damaged, students had to find a way to make up their grade. Quill and scroll Pretending, Matt Jensen writes in a journal about bis day's worluls a wealthy Roman man. In Honors World History class, the students did oral presentations on Roman civilization instead of taking a semester final. "That day I went to the public bath, the coliseum, and a chariot race," said Jensen. (Photo by Amy Negrete) "I had to make funeral arrangements," said Norgard. "I got the prices for the funeral and gravesite services and the coffin. Cutler Funeral Home had a package deal which included the. coffin, embalmin~, and services for $125, and the bunal plot cost $150. Bridal Wave "We are gathered here today to join this man a?d this woman in holy matrimony," said the Rev. Jim Lake, when he officiated at the marriage ceremony of Lori Rollins and Chris Presnall, Jan. 21. . In Family Living class, the students' final project was to make their own personal finance chart of how much a wedding would actually cost. Then individu~ls combined their information in groups and took part m creating a wedding simulation. While one group ordered the bride's flowers, another got the best man's and groom's clothes, and another designed and sent out invitations. Several g:oups got together to make preparations for the re~ept10n. "I thought it was fun and got us more mvolved than a written final," said Rollins. Like most weddings, this one did not proceed flawlessly. "Mr. Lake told us to join our right hands, and we joirted our left hands together," said Rollins. "Also when Mr. Lake told Chris to kiss the bride, everyone, includirtg us, started to laugh. The reception followed with the cutting of the cake, but Rollins and Presnall made a deal not to shove cake into each other's faces. Although this wedding was just pretend, most agreed the simulation would help in the planning of their own weddirtg someday. -Heather Binns Going to the chapel In second hour Family Living, Lori Rollins and Chris Presnall feed each other the traditional cake.

Eicher expressed her opinion through a six and a half page, eight-minute speech which took weeks of research. "We had around two or three weeks to work on the speech, and I worked on it every chance I had," said Eicher. "I used magazines, books, and even interviewed Mrs. Grandick because her brother is a doctor and has seen many cases like this." Through her hours of research, Eicher's view of the issue was affected. "Although my opinion is doctors should have a choice in treating AIDS patients, doing all of this research has helped me to better understand the patients' side of the issue," said Eicher. Model Student When instructor Steve Barker gave his second hour astronomy students a choice between two different types of research projects, Robin Shepard knew exactly what she was going to do. "We could either do a report or construct a model," Shepard said. "I hate reports because they're re~ly boring, so I made a paper mache scale model of Jupiter with its four moons orbiting it." Shepard's two weeks of research not only resulted in an A for the project, but also provided an enjoyable and educational experience. "I'm really interested in astronomy and the planets," Shepard said. "I have my own telescope at home, so about once a month I go out in my yard and look at the stars. I've always thought Jupiter was interesting, and when I made the model, I learned things I didn't know about the moons, like one is made entirely of frozen water and air." Because of her dedication to astronomy, Shepard would always be reaching for the stars. ---£ook It Up As soon as the yellow school bus slowed to a stop in ·front of the UNO library, long lines of Honors English 5-6 students poured from its doors, about to begin an entire day gathering information for a research paper on an American author. "When we first got there, I thought there was no way I could spend a whole day sitting in a library, but the time went by really fast," said Jennifer Bogardus. "I got a lot of good sources and also had fun because I was with my friends. We even got to go to the Crossroads for lunch." Students were able to obtain more information at the UNO library than at other libraries because of the vast number of available resources and a computerized card catalog that made books easier to find. "I used a computer to find all of my sources," said Bill Shipley. "It was really easy. I just typed in the name of my author and the computer printed out a list of 20 book titles I could use." -Karen Barker The right solution With great care, Coco Fossland dilutes solutions in her third hour AP Chemistry class.

"I hated Portrait," Lori Fehr said. " It was really confusing because the author was always changing his thoughts. I even bought the Cliff Notes and I still didn't understand it." But for Chad Hutchison and Coco Fossland, the reading assignments didn't seem like homework. "We had the whole summer," Fossland said. "We could wait until the end and still get it done." Hutchison and Fossland agreed AP English wasn't as hard as most thought. "There is a lot of responsibility," Hutchison said, "but you really don't have daily assignments. There is more freedom in AP English. People think it's all work, really it's just more intense. You're always listening. You can't just sit there like a sponge. You do have to do things. It's more quality than quantity." silent Treatment --- Sprawled out on her bed with a blanket, her dog Ebby, and a 1165-page AP Biology book, Kelly Knudson prepared herself for an hour of reading.

Like Knudson, Denise O'Brien had to study in quiet conditions. "It takes a lot of time to read the chapter," O'Brien said, "and if it's not quiet, I can't concentrate. I can't get the key elements of the chapter." Because AP Biology students had to cover the entire book, instructor Bill Forsee assigned them to read five chapters over the summer. "I liked doing the chapters in the summer," Knudson said, "because it gave me more time to read and understand the material." Getting Testy Nestled in their chairs, 25 AP Calculus students sat quietly as they worked on a practice test. At around 8:30 p.m. they went home, only to return the next day to take the actual test. "The study sessions really help," Jessica Goodman said. "We help each other, and if we don't understand, Mr. Miller will help us out." Most students agreed the help they got from their peers was essential. "Mr. Miller is there when you need to ask him a question," Chad Kenoyer said, "but sometimes other students can explain something in a way that you can understand better." According to Goodman, AP Calculus was not only challenging but fun. "You have to think all the time," she said. " It's never boring. You have to listen so that you know what's going on." -K elJi Smith Common cents Nitric acid and a penny help Chad Hutchison and Brain Hauser observe a chemical reaction. (Photo by Amy Andersen.)

When it popped in his glove, roars of joy from fans · and teammates echoed throughout Rosenblatt Stadium. The Lynx had just beaten Lewis Central 5-3 to win the 1991 City Tournament. "We held together as a team better that game than we did all season," said Ferguson. "There were some errors, but nobody got down on each other. We just kept playing our best until it was over." Although the Lynx received much glory for their outstanding performance at Rosenblatt, their 9-25 record from earlier season matchups left them mostly out of the spotlight. Victories were more frequent, however, in the latter part of the season when players were set in permanent positions. Even after a tough losing record, the win at Rosenblatt gave players a more positive outlook towards Districts. After previously losing twice to Harlan, the Lynx came back in district play to beat the Cyclones 4-2. "We went into Districts with enthusiasm and emotion," said head coach Rick·Wahl. "We were psyched to win through the whole game." The thrill of victory vanished, however, as the Lynx fell to LC in district finals 10-0. Even when the game location was changed to the Titan field because of vandalism at City Park, Lynx players still kept their hopes up and brushed away any grudges throughout the whole game. "When we played LC in City Tournament, it was a matter of who wanted it more, not who was better," said Jason Johnson. "But when it came to district finals, they were just a more consistently winning team. For us to beat them, we had to play our very best, but we didn t." Lacking togetherness, softball players were also unsuccessful until the end of the season. "Even though we won some early season games, we never really played as a team," said Trisha Alba. "We were actually surprised to win at all, even though we knew we were capable." After falling into a mid-season slump, the girls worked on building a closer team relationship, so whether win or lose, the togetherness wou ld still be there. "At first we were always separated, never together," said Mindy Stone. "But then we made ourselves a team on and off the field by doing things together like drive-in movies and tee-peeing our coach's car." When Sectionals rolled around, the girls had developed their capabilities and were ready to win. They upset teams like Tee Jay and LC, who had beaten them three times before. In Regionals, players gave it their all to beat Atlantic 4-3, but they lost the regional emifinal championship 6-2 to Creston. "We weren't suprised to go far because we had worked o hard," said Stone.

The Missouri Valley Invitational was the last Iowa meet before Districts, where the boys hoped to place second with the help of team leaders Jon Fitch and Pat Hughes. So far, the seagon was a success, with the team taking five fust places in eight invitationals. "The Harlan Invitational was the toughest win out of the five," said Coach Mick Freeman. "We bad already beaten St. Albert a couple of times, so we knew they were out to get us. We ran a lot better because of that." But the practice on Bennett would signal an end to the team's wins. "As we were running Bennett, I slipped on a rock," said Hughes. "I didn't think it was that bad and ran on it back to school. But when I woke up the next morning, it bad swelled up so bad I couldn't even walk on it, so I went to the hospital instead of the meet. Districts were only a week away, so I attended physical therapy for a week. They performed ultrasounds and wrapped my ankle, and I even took painkillers. "I wanted to run Districts, but my ankle didn't want to. I ended up dropping out a mile into the race. Five of my teammates had passed me, and I knew my points weren't going to count anyway." Placing fourth at Districts, the boys qualified for State by the skin of their teeth and then had a disappointing performance. "We knew we couldn' t do as well with Pat hurt," said Casey Malskeit. "To give us an idea of how we should have placed at State, we looked at other teams. We had already beaten St. Albert three out of four times in the regular season, and they placed second at State in their class. We had hoped to place in the top 10 at State, but we ended up placing 15th." While the boys began the season with high expectations, the girls realized early that with a young team, they would have a rebuilding year, so they learned to set short term goals. "Since our team this year was not very experienced," said Jennifer Stull, "we worked on learning how to compete better. Instead of looking at the whole season, we worked on our goals meet to meet. We usually set out to beat a certain person in front of us, someone, for example, from another school that we ran by in every meet." With a weaker team, the girls were unable to qualify for State, but they weren't disappointed. "We were not only pleased with the end of the season," said Coach Mike Batten, "but with the way we placed at Districts. For such a young team, sixth place out of 16 teams is very good." -Lori Fehr TAKING IT ALL IN STRIDE.

While Tee Jay had tallied up 16 points throughout the game, the Lynx remained scoreless. "This is gutcheck time," said quarterback Chad Taylor to his players. "We've got 11 minutes left. We have to score now." With Taylor's words came action. The Lynx went on to score not just one tq.uchdown, but three, pulling them ahead 22-16 to win the game. "All of the sudden, something hit us and we started going," said Jon Fenner. "We knew from the start that we were better than them but through the first three quarters, they played with so much intensity and heart, and they wanted the game more than we did. In the end, though, we showed who really wanted it more." The team's strong determination in the fourth quarter of the Tee Jay game was just one example of the positive attitude that carried the Lynx through a season full of success, even though their 3-6 record didn't show it. That new found attitude was a result of the encouragement and assistance they received from their new head coach, Rick Wahl. "Whenever we had questions in practices or games, Coach would take us through and explain the answers rather than just yelling at us," said Scott Jensen. "He always kept his composure and made sure we knew what we were doing wrong. That made us more self-confident. He seemed like he believed in us, so it was a lot easier for us to believe in ourselves." Once team members started believing in themselves, they went into games with a more positive attitude. "It used to be that we'd go into every game thinking we'd just stay with the other team and not let them beat us too badly," said Taylor. "This year it was different. We went into every game to win, and we played as hard as we could, no matter who we were playing." That attitude helped the Lynx defeat Lewis Central 28-14 in their opening game. "After LC beat us 35-0 last year, we had to come out on the field and prove that we could play this year," said Taylor. "We came prepared and had a good game offensively and defensively. It was a great way to start out the season because it got us super pumped up." Unfortunately, after facing two nationally ranked teruns towards the end of the season and suffering major losses to both, the Lynx began to hang their heads a bit. As a result, in the last game of the season, the team fell to Bellevue West 21-0. "We realJy wanted to go out on a positive note," said Nate Barges. "But after getting blown out by Westside the week before at Homecoming, we were still down and couldn't get focused against Bellevue West." But the disappointing losses were soon overlooked as the players reali zed that by keeping their positive attitudes throughout the season, they had set a high standard for many teams to come. "It really helped us when Coach Wahl was positive about everything," said Barges. "After this season, we know that we have talent. The seniors proved that we' re not a bad team and set a great example for us next year." -Michele White VARSITY FOOTBALL.

St\ART TALK As the volleyball team met before the Tee Jay tournament, Coach Mary Kyte pulled out a picture of a pyramid built by the 1989 team after the girls received first place at the Tee Jay tourney. "Everyone in the picture was smiling," said Mindy Workman, "even though they had played all morning and afternoon. I knew that's what I wanted to look like at the end of the day." As the 1991 tournament came to a close, AL had yet another pyramid picture of smiling volleyball players. "It's always great to beat your cross town rival," said Stephanie Yearian. "That makes the season a winning season whether the rest of the season is good or bad." To beat Tee Jay and 26 other teams and earn a 19-10-5 record, the girls had to communicate as a team. "Ifwe don't communicate, we might as well forget it," said Heather Fent. "Communication makes it all come together. When we played Omaha North, we really talked it up. We knew where the sets were going and knew the right places to hit the ball. That's why we won 15- 2 and 15-0." When the girls failed to communicate, they knew the difference. "One game in which lack of communication really showed was the Millard South game," said Yearian. "We didn 't communicate, and we just fell apart. No one called out their sets. Everyone was running into each other. We lost the first game 5-15. After the Millard South game, the girls decided they would never take communication for granted again. "In practice we did partner drills which made us work as a team," said Yearain. "Ifwe dropped the ball ordidn'tcall it out while we were passing or setting, we ran laps." Communication between team members became just as important off the court as on. "When things were going bad, we'd get together as a team and talk about what we needed to do," said Tori Christie. "Then we'd go back on the court and put it all together." The girls' efforts paid off as they won the next three matches, including a game with Millard South. As Districts came up, the girls were communicating better than ever, but they had become a little over confident. "Some of us went into the game with attitudes that we had beaten Tee Jay before and knew we could do it again," said Yearian, "but Tori and Cathy (Mauer) kept telljng everyone to try and think of this game as if we had never played them before." Even with that advice, the Lady Lynx season was cut short, as the Yellowjackets beat AL three to two, leaving the Lynx with sixth place in Districts. "I was really disappointed that we lost," said Workman, "but Tee Jay played well. It was their night. Knowing we lost makes me anxious to get out there and beat them next year." -Erica Warren FLYING HIGH.

ALL TICD UP A s 34 wrestlers plopped down on the mats in the wrestling room for their first day of practice, the eight upperclassmen scoped out their team and noticed many unfamiliar faces, most of which belonged to sophomores. After that first encounter, no one dreamed the Lynx wouJd end the season as the best team in the city in duals with an impressive 9-1-1 record. Although the Lynx began the season with eight upperclassmen, after injury got the best of three team members, the Lynx had to rely heavily on the underclassmen for success. When times were tough, they could always be called upon to step up and take control. Sophomore Bill Waugh and freshman Mike Porter stepped up when two upperclassmen quit early in the season, and both Waugh and Porter placed third in Districts to end their season. Although Waugh and Porter fell short of a trip to the state tournament with only third place District finishes, another sophomore, Kevin Adbns, placed first in Districts to earn a state berth as a first year varsity wrestler. "I worked really hard all season because I wanted to be a state champion so badly," said Adbns. "DJ Walton helped me both physically and mentally the whole way. He ran with me at early practice, and he even can1e down to the boiler room with me to keep me company when I had to lose weight. I never gave up, but things just didn' t work out for me in the end." Adbns lost in his fourth match at State and didn't place, but Walton, his supportive teammate, took fourth place. Even though the underclassmen were the main reasons for the team's success, as Walton's state finish showed, a few upperclassmen also had impressive performances. With both third and first place state titles already under his belt, senior Danen Coppock won Districts to earn his third trip to the state tournament. Going into the championship round at the tournament, Coppock was relaxed and confident of clinching his thiTd first place title, as his opponent was a familiar one. For the second year he faced a f1iend and a rival, Lewis Central' s Jeff Bellows, in a state championship round at 112 pounds. "Jeff and I are friends," said Coppock, "so even though we have to be rivals, we still cheer each other on." Coppock closed out his high school career with a 5-1 win over Bellows, 75 wins under hi belt, and another state title to his name. Coppock was the only one of the three state qualifiers to take first place at the tournament, but the others felt their season was a succe s. Although hopes were down at the beginning, early season victorie gave the team the confidence and motivation to make their season o successful. "This season was a rebuilding stage for u ,"said Walton. "We got a taste of winning in early matches, and that wa our motivation throughout the year along with Coach (Clark) Allen always pu hing u to be the best. " -Michele White "In the course of the season, people stepped up and stopped playing in the shadow of a star.

HOOP IT UP A veraging three inches shorter than their opponents and being forced to play without their star player, the Lady Lynx could have gotten down on themselves. But overcoming proved to be the team's greatest talent. Playing varsity since her freshman year, Cathy Mauer had become an All State point guard and held the record for steals in a season. But one of the things she was known for would change the season. While attempting a steal at the Sioux City game, Mauer fell, tearing her anterior cruciate Jjgament and all the cartilage around her left knee. Requiring reconstructive knee surgery, Mauer was out for the season. But it wasn' t long before teammates realized they could play without Mauer by opening the Holiday Tournament with a 50-point win over Westside, and their confidence was boosted even more when they met seventh rated Papillion. "We were waiting fo r the game to start when Cathy came over to us almost in tears," said Heather Haines. "She had walked in on crutche past the Tee Jay fans, who started to clap and hi-five each other, saying things like 'Yeah, Cathy'sout!' We were mad, butitpumpedu up. We wanted to play Tee Jay so we could beat them. People thought we wouldn ' t play well, but we went out and kicked some butt." Defeating seventh rated Papio by njne sent the girls on their way to djscovering how well they could play without Mauer. "The game against Papillion was a turning poi nt for the team,' said Coach Dave Brown. "If we had lost, the girls might have questioned themselves. But they proved they could play a rated team without Cathy. A lot of teams might have choked after losing their all-state point guard, but we didn 't." In fact, losing Mauer brought the team together even more. "We lacked leadership the most," said Tori Christie. "To make up fo r that, everyone contributed on the floo r. We were willing to pas if someone was open, rather than not paying attention. When Nancy Kemmish broke the school record for assists, everyone was happy for her, and no one was jealous. That says a lot for a team." Besides having to adjust to losing a key player, the girl had to make up for their lack of height. "We were a really short team," said Heather Fent, "so we u ed quickness to help us. We ran a lot in practice so we were fast. We worked on our transition, going from defensive to offensive, so we were quicker changing back and forth. We wore other teams down. " Their quickness showed game after game as they proved to be a match for any team that came their way, lo ing six out of their even defeats by no more than five points. As the end of the season came, the girl looked toward District , where they wanted to beat St. Albert. who had beaten them by two points at the beginning of the season. "Going into the game, we were nervou ," said Stephanie Knau . "They barely beat us before owe knew it would be a good game. It wa close, and we weren' t counting on the luck hot they got in the end.' The eason ended fo r the girls in a di appointing one point lo , . "The eason went well.," aid Brown. "We finished 15-8 and a District runner-up. Playing a well as we did against rated team required a great team effort." -Lori Fehr 67 Vt.1th wins at se-ason 5 e-nd ljnx 3e-t a . f AST r>RLAK W ith only four minutes left in the district final game against Harlan, the Lynx realized it was time to show their stuff. "You guys, we've got to get it going now!" the coaches said to the players in a time out. "We're a better team than they are, and we've got to show it now!" The buzzer sounded to end the time out, and the players headed back to the court, determined to make their dream of a state berth come true. "We knew it was time to step it up," said Chad Kenoyer. "We had to score every time we had the ball and stop them from scoring every time they had the ball." The Lynx did just that, and they beat Harlan 52-48 to become district champions for the first time since 1988. "We all cried after the game because we wanted it so bad, and we came out strong enough to reach out and get it," said Kenoyer. For the boys, winning Districts and making it to State had always been a goal, and early in the season when they hit the .500 mark, that goal seemed to be within reach. "Our schedule was easier in the beginning," said Jason Johnson. "Our record made us more confident to face the rest of the season, especially since we beat Bryan twice and they were a Metro team." But after a 74-68 win over eighth ranked Northwest, things went downhill for the Lynx, and State seemed almost too far out of reach. With only a 5-14 record going into Districts in March, the Lynx were not expected to become district champions. They had suffered regular season losses to both of their district opponents, Lewis Central and Harlan, along with seven other losses in February. Among those losses was the worst of the season, a 59-97 loss to city rival St. Albert. "We thought we could just show up and win," said Curt Kenoyer. "But we got there and none of us played to win. They came out and wanted it, and we wanted it too, but we didn' t go after it." Although they couldn't play St. Albert again, the boys did get a chance in Districts to make up for losses to LC and Harlan. After defeating both in Districts, the Lynx earned their long-awaited trip to the substate final game, in which they traveled to Creston to face the number three ranked team in Iowa, Indianola. "We were confident that we could play any Iowa team and do well, no matter what its rank," said Johnson. "When we went into the game, all we wanted was a shot to win and play well." The Lynx stuck with the Indians until the fourth quarter, when many freethrows and turnovers gave them a chance to open up a lead that the Lynx couldn' t close. The boys lost to the Indians 62-49, and their chances for a State berth vanished, but they were proud of their efforts. "We started playing really tough," said Pat Hughes.

"We won because of our depth," said Jon Fenner. "Although LC had a lot of good swimmers, we had twice as many swimmers, so we got more points." Being able to fi ll every position in each race with more swimmers than the opponent also helped the boys' swim team beat Bellevue West by a slim two points, scoring a total of 93 points. "We had more people than they did, so the second, third, fourth, and fifth places we took really added up," said Fenner. Although depth contributed to the boys' season record of 5-4, individual improvement was also essential. Getting advice from others helped some swimmers drop seconds off of their times. "Jeff (Mcintosh) helped me with my starts," Rusty Clevenger said. "He told me what I was doing wrong and how to make it right, better and faster." After taking Mcintosh' s advice, Clevenger dropped four seconds off of his 50 and 100 meter sprints. Unlike the boys, the girls' swim team lacked the depth needed for a successful season. Because fewer girls went out for swimming than last year, the season record dropped from 5-1 to 2-3. Since team improvement was close to impossible with only nine swimmers, each of the girls concentrated on improving individually. "After practice, Janet Danburg helped me with my flip turns," Allison Borman said. "I used to come off the wall and tum onto my stomach, but Janet taught me to do a somer ault, push off the wall on my back, and then flip back over to my stomach." With Danburg's ti ps in mind, Borman beat her best time by three seconds in the 200-yard freestyle at the metro tournament. After improving individually, the girls' team sent its 400-yard freestyle relay team to State for the first time in fo ur years, but the girls returned with a disappointing 23rd place fi nish. Even though the girls didn' t do well at the meet, Amy Springer took tips from the champions. "When I went to State, I watched the girl who won the breaststroke competition," said Springer. "I made sure I watched herthe whole way through, so when I practiced, I could do exactly what she did. After I practi ced what I saw her do, I dropped five second off my 100-yard breaststroke." Springer then dropped two more seconds off of her time with Coach Judy Heitoff's help in order to place third at the Omaha Public Schools Meet with a time of 1 :23 for her first individual medal. Although the girls didn't win any team awards for their swimming, wi nning the Iowa Athletic Academic Award made them ver proud. The team had a cununulative GPA of3.5, ranking first among all the swim teams in Iowa and third among all the sports teams in Iowa. Even though the girls' season record dropped, many team member joined summer teams to improve for next year. -Amy Haggstrom s~~71 FL YIN' ffiGH.

(Photo by Kellie Bottrell) brok~n r~cords hav~ t~ams s~ttin3 . . . new TRACKS W ith a twist of her body, a thrust of the shot, and a throw of 55 feet, Paulette Mitchell quieted 1600 people at the Drake relays. "It was unbelievable," said Coach Mike Batten. "I was ecstatic when I saw the throw. I jumped up and didn't see her step on the toe board and scratch. If her throw would have been good, she would have broken the national record by a foot and a half." Later on in the meet, Mitchell set records in both the shot and discus, and was named athlete of the meet. Three days later at the Glenwood Co-ed, Mitchell threw 53 feet 3 and 1/2 inches, qualifying her for the Olympic trials. By the season's end, Mitchell had set a record at every meet except State. Mitchell's ability to break records seemed infectious as more and more members of both teams found they could run faster, jump higher, and clear hurdles better than any Lynx before them. "We broke three records," said Scott Hamling, "the 4x2 at Lemars, the 4xl at Lewis.Central, and the medley at State. Nobody picked us to beat tbe 4xl and 4x2 records because they were set in the 1960's." The girls broke school records in the shuttle hurdle relay and 400M hurdles. Mitchell set new shot and discus records which hadn' t changed since 1984, and Kristin Scott set a record in the LOOM dash. Besides breaking school records, teams qualified 11 members for State. The boys sent all of their relays plus two individual events. "At State I ran my fastest 800 in l :56," said Pat Hughes, "and I finished a strong third. I wanted to get first, but things didn't work out." Like Hughes, Heather Haines gained a trip to State through a winning performance at Districts. "The girl from Sioux City West was running neck and neck with me," said Haines, "but she hit the last hurdle. I didn't know that I won until I crossed the finish line because it was so close." Runners who weren' t used to winning also learned how to do it through hard work. "Last year I never really won anything," said Kelly McGee. "That made me strive for something. I didn't think I would be able to do it, but at the Wayne State meet, I got first in the long jump." Despite the ability to break records and get to State, weakness prevented both teams from taking first place at invitationals. In past years the girls' team was built around distances, but th.is year there was lack of depth in the distances, and the boys found their void to be in field events. "At Atlantic we had a chance to win" said Coach Joe Hauser, "but after the field events, we were 26 points behind. We caught up during the meet and were two points ahead going into the las't event, but we didn't win the 4x4, so we lost the meet by four points." But tlu·ough breaking records and qualifying for State, both track teams found they could be successful without capturing a first place. -Lori Fehr CRUISIN' TO STATE.

KICKlfl' GRASS R ed-faced and breathless from the 96 minutes of play they had already endured, the Lady Lynx lined up for what they thought would be the last kick-off of the game. Tee Jay's Angie Cook had just scored a goal to put the Jackets ahead of the Lynx 4-3, and with only four minutes of the double overtime remaining, it looked as though the Jackets would take the victory for the second year in a row. But when the sound of the referee's whistle signified the kick off, the Lynx shrugged off their aching muscles and cramping stomachs and came out charging for a victory they knew they deserved. "Because this was my last year, I wanted to beat Tee Jay so bad," said Stephanie Knauss. "When we circled up before the overtime began, I remember telling everyone that this was it. I knew we could win if we wanted it bad enough and all we had to do was play our hardest no matter what happened." At a time when most teams would have given up and settled for the loss, the girls took Knauss' swords to heart and raised their level of play. Two minutes before the final whistle, Amy Meyers pounded a shot into the corner of the goal to tie things up 4-4. After JOO minutes of regulation field play, the Lady Lynx reigned victorious over the Jackets in a shoot out that decided the tie. Knauss' s advice was just one example of the senior leadership that dominated the team and encouraged the girls throughout the season. "From pre-game warm-ups to the actual game, you could always hear a senior pumping us up and encouraging us to do well," said Carrie Spann. "It wasn 'tjust the ones on the field, either. We had a couple seniors that didn't get to start and one that was hurt, and you could always hear them hooting and hollering above everyone else. I think they really made everyone feel like part of the team." Sometimes the seven seniors even got together with the three coaches to discuss the team's strengths and weaknesses. "Warren wanted to hear what we had to say about the team," said Trisha Alba. "One time he invited us to his house for pizza, and his wife baked us chocolate chip cookies. I thought getting together was a good idea because it gave us a chance to talk about any problems the team was having. Plus it gave the seniors a chance to be together and talk soccer." The seniors knew how to keep morale up even when the team was losing. After two days of games at the Cedar Rapids tournament, the Lynx lost their shot of taking home the championship when they fell short to St. Albert, a team they had never lost to in the history of Lady Lynx soccer. But even after the upset, the Lynx came back to take third and then cheered the Falcons on to their first place victory. "After we finished our last game that put us into third place, we all ran over to the field where St. Albert was playing Iowa City and cheered them on," said Joanna Schomer. "Even though we were really up et about losing to them, we figured we would rather ee a Council Bluff team take the title. When they won the tournament, we all ran out onto the field and congratulated them. I think that shows a lot for the attitude of our team." Whether leading the team in a victory or a 1 , sen.ior proved instrumental in achieving the team's 9-7-1 record and the team' igbth consecutive city championship. -Melody Barajas Tt7amwork frit7ndship mak..t7 boys . . GOAL FOR · IT A fter 50 grueling hours of conditioning and practicing for the first game of the season, the boys' varsity soccer team was ready for anything. "We wanted to beat St. Albert so bad because we didn't want to lose two years in a row," Curt Kenoyer said. "We got so pumped up for the game that we controlled and played the whole game on our offensive side of the field." Only 18 minutes into the first half, Tom Royce netted the ball twice to pull ahead 2-0 and the Lynx held the Falcons at a standstill until halftime. As the second half started, the Lynx knew it would be tough to keep up the defense going against the wind. But even after the Falcons scored 15 minutes into the half, the Lynx didn ' t give up. Instead, Royce came back to score once again to take the 3-1 victory. Although Royce was instrumental in reversing the 1991 loss to St. Albert, teamwork became the main ingredient that turned the entire season around. "Everyone passed and gave the ball up more," Mike Nelson said. "Unlike last year, there wasn't just one big star. Everyone was important to every play of each game." The new teamwork came about because players got closer off the field. Teammates often went to the Valentino's all-you-can-eat buffet to relieve tension and help mentally prepare for the next day's game. "We usually talked about comedians like Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, or Steve Wright when we went out," Royce said, "so that the next day during the bus ride to away games, we could do imitations and make jokes about them to get our minds off the game." Because they became closer friends, players began helping one another correct mistakes rather than yelling at each other. "During the Davenport game at the Bettendorf tournament," Kenoyer said, "I had the perfect one on one breakaway and I shanked the ball. At the end of the game, the guys just told me to forget about it and get ready for the next game. In the next game, I ended up scoring three goals against North Scott." Although teamwork played a big role in the team's improvement throughout the season, in di vi dual talent accounted for plenty of accomplishment. Royce broke a school record by sco1ing 13 goals during the season, more than anyone had scored in nine years. "l felt accomplishment when I found out I set a record," Royce said. " It was so surprising that someone had not scored that many goals in nine years. Another indi vidual who accomplished more than he imagined was goalie J.J. Marsh, who led the team to five shut-outs and two shoot-outs. "I thought I did pretty well my fres hman year," Marsh said. "The only improvement I want to make is to be consistent. I want to play well every game." Through a combination of communication within the team, individual talent, and the desire to revenge last year's losses, the boys' soccer team achieved a winning record of 10-8. -Amy Haggstrom 76~S~ WRAPPING IT UP.

As he struggled to keep a firm grasp on his club, he carefully positioned his feet and took a practice shot. Finally, he completed the putt and walked towards the clubhouse, feeling satisfied with his four hours of practice that Saturday. Although Hargrave's dedication to golf earned him a first place finish at the city tournament and put him in tough competition with older members of the team, he was not alone in his love for the sport. "These guys are kind of fanatics with golf, which is great," said Coach Phil Nielsen. "When the weather was cold outside, I would have to go outside and say 'Hey guys, let's go home."' For most members of the team, the love of the game started much earlier than high school. "As a kid, my mom would drop me and one of my friends off at the golf course about 6 a.m., and we never wanted to leave," said Todd Cover, who led the team at the CruToll Kuemper Invitational, May 9. "Ever since then, golf has been an addicti'on for me. I spend about three hours a night practicing and working to improve." As a result of their hard work, six team members qualified for State May 29. Surprisingly, sophomore Dan VanBibber finished a step ahead of Cover, placing first at Districts with a score of 77. 'Todd Cover and I tied so we had a play-off," said VanBibber. "I never expected to get close to winning. Afterwru·ds, I wasn't shocked until the next day when I crune down to earth and it hit me." Because of their drive for success, the boys' golf team had an outstanding season, winning five of their eight matches ru1d placing first at City, with a score of 325, 35 strokes ahead of St. Albert. Though the girls placed second at City, the young team, made up totally of underclassmen except for junior Shauna Hale, worked bard to improve their game and finished the season with a 3-3 record. After dropping her best score by eight strokes and placing third in the city tournament, Hale realized that working to relieve stress before and during matches paid off in the end. "In the past, I always put too much pressure on myself to do well," said Hale. "This spring I told myself that I was mainly out to have fun. "l was amazed when I found out I had shot a 90 at City. When I was adding up my score, I kept coming out with 100 because I couldn't believe I had improved so much. Then this girl from Lewis Central added it a11d told me what my score really was." Although Hale learned that relaxing was a key part of the game, Alicia Hughes found that a lot of practicing improved her techniques. "I always try to get all my power into my swing," said Hughes, who won the Tee Jay Invitational. "To improve, I golfed on my own almost every weekend. I think it helped because I was really nervous during the Tee Jay match, and I still managed to do well." Despite the team's lack of experienced golfers, the girl worked hru·d throughout both seasons, finally advancing to Regionals, where they placed fourth. Overall, it was clear that both boys and girls aimed high to keep their golf games up to pru·. -Mary Ryan SHOOTING FOR PAR. Nervously, Dan VanBibber tees olT at the first hole.

"I was so excited when they won, I couldn't say anything," said Andersen. "They were the best group of girls, and deep down, I thought they would pull it through. If they played like they could, I knew they would win." The Lady Lynx faired well against city teams all se~son, opening with a 7-2 win over Tee Jay, but when they faced tougher Metro teams, wins were harder to come by. "I think we kind of bad a bad outlook on the Metro Conference teams," said Amy Andersen. "We could have played a bad team, and just because they were a Metro team, they intimidated us, and we didn't play as well. But the teams at City were girls that we' d played for a long ' time, so we knew how to react to them, and we were a lot more relaxed." The girls were able to_ pull off wins over a few Metro teams, including Ralston, Bellevue West, and Central, but when Sectionals rolled around, their season was cut short because they didn't score enough points to advance to the district tournament. Like the girls, the boys forgot the pain and exhaustion from the heat when they captured the city title by only eight points over St. Albert. "We were dead even in points with St. Albert after the singles matches," said Ryan Lam. "So going into doubles, we knew we had to play really well because St. Albert had always been known for playing good doubles. We ended up winning two doubles titles, which put us ahead by eight points. It was great because we accomplished the first goal we set for the season." At the beginning of the season, the boys set three goals, to win City, go undefeated, and become state champions. Winning City was a breeze for the boys, but the goal of going undefeated seemed like it might be more difficult. "When we started out, we thought becoming undefeated was a long shot," said Jason Johnson . "Red Oak and Kuemper had always had good teams, and we weren ' t really sure what to expect from them this year. It turned out that St. Albert was about our toughest opponent, and we beat them twice and didn't have a problem finishing the season 7-0." The Lynx went into Districts with their undefeated record, hoping to reach their third goal, to win State. They finished second as a team in the tournament and advanced to Substate. But after defeating top seed Ames S-4, they came up justshortofa state berth with a4-5 loss to Sioux City North. Although both teams had their ups and downs, in the end, the one thing remembered above all the rest was the 1992 city championship title the teams shared and the sweltering heat they suffered through to earn that ti tie. -Michele White STRIKE A POSE.

Satisfaction,, 3ood time's 3ivf's re'ason to. JUST DO IT s till groggy eyed from the earliness of the day, 12 basketball players trudged into a silent and empty gym. For the first five minutes almost nothing could be heard except the thumps of a basketball and an occasional toot of a referee's whistle. Then suddenly, as if someone flipped the on switch, the boys came to life. Unlike varsity basketball players, who strutted out into the big gym where music blared and cheers and chants roared, the basketball players described above strutted their stuff for no one but themselves and their teammates. "I like intramurals because I like to play basketball," said Sid Stowe, "but I don't need the stress of another varsity sport. lntramurals lets you have a good time without worrying about winning all the time. We play for ourselves and the fun of it, not for some fans." While personal satisfaction seemed to be the main reason players endured the early morning hours and lack of fans, most agreed that they had. their fun moments, too. "Every time I made a basket, I did a flip," said Andy Smith. "I was out there to have a good time, and that was my way of having fun and livening up the games a little, since we didn' t have the fans to do it." Intramural games weren't the only place where fans were scarce. Those involved in powerlifting and bowling sacrificed the glory and the recognition of varsity sports to indulge in a sport they enjoyed, despite ,its lack of popularity. "Powerlifting isn't as popular as some of the other sports," said Jeremy Zuern. "It's not as organized, either. Basically, it's just a bunch of guys doing something they like doing. We have only four meets, and I think even if we didn't have the sport, all the same guys would still come up and lift just as much. We've all became pretty good friends because we spend so much time up there." During the season, the muscle men were required to practice at least three nights a week, but many lifted every night for an hour and a half to two hours. After working together so often, most lifters found that friendships made in the weight room made up for the lack of fans at meets. "Even though powerlifting is a really individualized sport, everyone is really supportive of each other," said Dan Westervelt. "Everybody who's out for it is out because they like to lift, so we're all really encouraging. Whenever someone needs a spotter, everyone is ready to help, and whenever we do well, everyone is there to cheer us on. In a way, our team is our fans." Like the lifters, the eight people on the bowling team learned to be their own fans, too. "We have to travel pretty far for our competitions," said Bobbi Boehme. "It upsets me that more people aren't even aware that we have a bowling team and that the school won't finace us, but I don't really expect people to come to our tournaments. Nobody realizes how special a 280 is, except myself and my teammates." Whether dragging themselves out of bed before the crack of dawn or doing their personal best at a competition, those involved in nonvarsity sports gained personal satisfation while having fun , despite lack of fan supp011. -Melody Barajas AIR ZUPHER.

Hoping to raise $1 ,000, band members planned their first annual dinner concert for over three months. ~~tJea~ Although for mo t band members tho e high ratings came a no surprise, others were astonished by their accomplishments.

More than $1,200 was raised for the band, mabng the evening profitable as well as enjoyable. "It was really neat to see everyone dressed up, especially the drum ljne," said Amy Varner. "I'm just so used to seeing everyone in jeans and T-shjrts." The evening was not only exciting for band members, but also for their guests. After dessert, the Jazz Band provided music, and guests were invited to become more than just spectators. Many danced for almost an hour on the dance floor. Band members felt the dinner concert was a huge success and looked foward to planning next year's concert. -J.eremy Doyle vision I rating, I was really shocked." Bookout was not the only one who had a day of success. Several students worked hard to prepare more than one contest entry and did well with all of them.

"Even though by the end of the year I hated the computers and wanted to throw them out the wi ndow," editor-in-chief Melody Barajas said, "I have to admit they made things faster. It's easier to find and correct mistakes. With the computers, what we see is what we get because there isn' t a risk of something being altered by someone at the yearbook plant." Staffers' long hours and hard work paid off.

The commercial, which won third place in a state media contest, was just one example of the creative ideas members of AL Insider displayed when completing final project for their semester finals.

Everyone was on edge after two days of strenuous practices. To ease the tenearn! T he gym was still dim as the lights began to flicker on, and sleepy- eyed cheerleaders straggled in. It was 6:30 a.m. when Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch's "Good Vibrations" blared through the sion, Heather Williams popped Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places" into the tape player. Soon everyone started jumping on the beds and singing at the top of their lungs. "Cheerleading has so speakers in the gym.

There's a line in the song that says ' ... to the oasis,' and when that line came, we counted to three and jumped in with all our clothes on." However, once the cheerleaders hit the water, the singing didn't stop. They kept on going even louder. "We were so loud that tons of cheerleaders came out of their rooms and just looked at us," said Ebling. "But we didn't care because it was fun ." When camp had ended, the girls carried on their group singing. Whether it was at early practices or on bus rides to games, cheerleaders were always in perfect harmony. 110~~ we added some original moves too." But a dance that took five hours to design took weeks to learn. "The dance seemed hard at first," said Molly Lookabill, "but after we spent days dancing, it got easier. It turned out to be more fun than it was hard." At the pep assembly for the Tee Jay football game, the cheerleaders performed their dance with the porn pon squad. After a great response from the student body, they knew their hard work had paid off. "The crowd was really supportive," said Lookabill. "A lot of people came up to me afterwards with compliments.

Can I help you ?" asked Amy Stairs as she stood behind the counter at the Target Cafeteria on her second night of training. "I'd like a sausage pizza with extra cheese," said a man. "This is easy," she thought. All she had to do was take her customer's order and prepare it for him. Carefully, she took the frozen pizza out of the freezer, along with what she thought was a bag of mozzarella cheese. She meas~red the correct amount and sprinkled it all over the pizza. Next, she popped it in the oven and set the timer. As she kept checking on the pizza in the oven, she knew that something didn't look quite right. She called her ma_nager over and they quickly discovered that Stai rs had mJstaken a bag of shredded hashbrowns for mozzarella cheese. "I was so embarrassed," said Stairs. "It was even worse because the man was standing right there. He watched my manager tell me that I had to start over. He came over and said, 'Make sure my pizza is the one with extr~ cheese and not hashbrowns." Like Stairs, Emily Baird also experienced embarra sment on the job.

The whole time I wondered what was underneath. My face had to be bright red." While most students were struck with embarrassment once in a while, there were some who always had bad luck. One inservice day, Dawn Wildner and Sarah Lash decided to eat lunch at Burger King. When ~ildner announced that she had to go the bathroom immediately, Lash decided to have some fun by tickling Wildner to make her problem even worse. As Wildner tried to get away, Lash chased her even faster, making her run right into the first room she saw, which happened to be the boys' bathroom. "I tried to stop her," said Lash. "but I was lauohino 0 0 so hard, I couldn't get the words out. She took one step into that bathroom and screamed really loud right in front of a bunch of guys waiting in line." Wildner's embarrassment, however, did not stop at Burger King. She found herself even more embarrassed the night of homecoming, when she joined 19 other people for dinner at Lash's house. "I told Sarah I was going up to the bathroom to freshen up," said Wildner. "She didn ' t tell me that if you shut the door all the way, you can't get it back open. I was in there for at least half an hour screaming my head off for somebody to come up and Jet me out.

But instead of their usual "Bonjour, Madame!" reply, one by one, each student got up and placed an apple on her desk. Whether she realized it or not, Koerber was a victim of brownnosing. "One Monday, she promised us croissants on Friday if we were good all week," said Wendy Koontz. "A few of us wanted to make sure that we got the croissants, so we spent the hour deciding what to do to be nice to her. Instead of just paying attention in class all week, we passed a note around the whole class telling everyone to bring apples on Tuesday. "Mrs. Koerber was gone on Tuesday, so everyone had to leave the apples in their lockers overnight. She was back on Wednesday, so we gave her the apples then. We ilidn't have school on Friday because of the big ice storm, so we got the croissants a couple of weeks late. Although it wasn't as effective as we thought it would be because school was called off and some people forgot to bring the apples in the first place, at least we eventually got the croissants!" Other students brownnosed their way to a higher grade. "In one of my classes, the work was very difficult," said Sara Mason.

Other kids made fun of him, but I just tried to get along with him. I don't think I did any of the work in his class and I ended up with an 'A'!" In search for a better grade, some students took brownnosing one step further than just being nice. "At the end of the first quarter in Mr. Whyte' English class, I was worried about my grade," said Jenny Gregory. "So I started aski ng him about hi garden and acting like I was interested. He even brought pictures to show me. I was trying to get a good grade by brownnosing because I hadn'ttried my harde t in the class so I was happy when he gave me a 'C'." From bringing food to a teacher, to learning how to strike up a conversation with one, many student used brownnosing to their advantage. -Lori Fehr AN APPLE A DA Y ...

(Photo by Amy Andersen) What began as a simple birthday breakfast at the Garden Cafe unknowingly turned into an early morning serenade for Nancy Kemmish. "For my seventeenth birthday Kelly Knudson took me out to breakfast before school," said Kemmish. "When we walked in the door, we saw Coco Fossland, Michele White, Amy Andersen, and Elisa Benson eating breakfast. They wished me a happy birthday and then we were seated at another table across the room. While we were waiting for our food , the waitress brought out a zebra brownie with a candle in it. Then everyone from Coco 's table gathered around us and they sang 'Happy Birthday ' to me. It made me feel good and it started off my day the right way." Along with impromtu parties, planned parties tickled people pink. "It was the week of my friend 's birthday," said Ryan Kell ey, "and no matter how many times I asked her what ·he wanted to do to celebrate, she would always say, 'I don't care !' Finally, I gave up and a few of us started planning a surprise birthday party behind her back. "When it came time to pick her up Saturday night, I had to think of a lie to explai n why the other couple wasn't in the car, and then another to explain why we had to go to the old YMCA. I ended up telling her that they weren't ready yet, and my wallet was up at the old YMCA so we had to go get it.

It was great, she never suspected a thing." Although birthdays were one popular reason for surprising people, there were definitely other times to express friendship and love. "My boyfriend always sends me flowers," said Haley Evans. "The first day of school he sent me five roses and an 'I Love You ' balloon. One night at color guard practice I got sick and had to go to the emergency room, and the next day when I opened my locker, I found roses he had put there to make me feel better." Like Evans, Jordan Christiansen was also thrilled by surprise gifts from her boyfriend. "I was in my seventh hour algebra class one day," said Chiistiansen, "and it was my tum to read off a line of problems out of my notebook. All of a sudden my class got really quiet. I looked up and there was a ring box and a rose on my desk from my boyfriend, Aaron. The entire class was watching and crowding around a I opened it. I wa really emban-assed. I went out in the hall to find him, but he was already gone. I definitely never expected it. but I loved it.

Some argued that although guys did experience jealousy, they chose not to admit them. "Jealousy is an emotion, and guys like to keep their emotions inside," said Ryan Lam. "I think that guys are scared to find out what others will think of the way they feel, so they say they aren 't jealous." While some found the easiest way to cope with their jealousy was to keep it inside, others realized they had to fast fee l better about themselves before they could overcome their jealousy. " I think jealousy is actually just insecuritie about yourself," said Courtney Griffin. "It' the con tant yearning to have what someone el e ha .

The lies of the 90's were not that much different than those on Leave it to Beaver. Many students saw lying to their parents as the only way to get to do what they wanted. "If I didn 't lie to my parents, I'd never get to go anywhere or do anything," said one senior girl. "At first lying to them was realJy hard. They would always give me a look like they didn 't trust me. That would make me feel guilty, but after I got away with it a few times, it was a lot easier." Students most commonly lied about where they were and who they were staying with, according to another senior girl. "A lot of times everyone is going to the same place, usually a drinking party," she said. "So they lie and tell their parents they are spending the night with a friend. That way they can be with their friends and not have to worry about a curfew." Some students got really creative with their lies. "We just got back from a band contest and a lot of my friends were going out," one senior girl said. "I wanted to go, but I knew my mom wouldn 't letme. Iwentanywayanddidn 'tgethomeuntil 11:30p.m. I had to think of somethjng fast, so I told her that I got locked in the band room while unloading the trailer and had to find someone to let me out. She actually bel ieved me!" Many students found that when caught in a lie, the punishment was severe. "For the longest time I was lying almost every weekend ," a senior boy said. "One time I told my parents I was goi ng to a friend 's house, and he told his parents he was staying at my house. Both of our parents called the other and found out that we lied. I was grounded for two weeks. I couldn't even use the phone. Now I hardly ever lie to my parents." Although being grounded was the most commo_n punishment among students, many found losing their parents' trust was worse.

Some put books in their lockers, others got a drink from the fountain, and still others stood around talking to friends. But when the word "fight! " rang out, throngs of students, suddenly energized, rushed to the scene. Out of 50 students polled, 26 students said they had fought at least once. According to Melanie Shellberg, vice principal, most fights were due to rumors, long time grudges, and girlfriend/boyfriend problems. "This girl tried to break up me and my boyfriend by throwing herself at him," said Jodi Stansbeny. "By fighting, I thought she'd grow up and leave me and my boyfriend alone." Students were also found fighting as they tried to defend other people. I "This kid was saying rude things to my mom," said II Jim Godsey. "I wasn't going to just stand there and let him say those things, so I threw a punch at him." Although fighting seemed ljke the only solution at the FIGHT? FIGHT? WHERE'S THE FIGHT? In search ofa fight between Tim Cordell and Larry Snodgrass, students gather around Cordell after school in the parking lot. "I wanted to fight him because he was bothering my girlfriend and calling me a wimp," said Cordell. "But he didn't show up. The next day, he wanted to fight, but l figured that since he didn't show up the first time, why waste my time." (Photo by Amy Negrete) ue time of the incident, some students regretted their actions. "Personally, I wish that I didn't fight," said Christy Kelly, after getting suspended for three days. "It wasn 't worth getting suspended and I felt bad after I did it." Rumors and misinformation among students also caused fights. When a student misinfom1ed Rick Jones that his best friend was the person who stole his car stereo, Jones immediately went over to his friend's house and started a fight with him before asking him if the information wa~ true. Jones ended up breaking his friend 's nose and subsequently lost the trust of his best friend and his friend's parents. "I regret what I did because we were best friends and I should have been the one to trust him and our friendship," he said. "It took a long time to regain his trust in me, but we are friends again." Counselor Barry Coates said that most fights happen because no one is there to help the students involved solve their problems, and other students egg them on. Even though fights attracted large crowds, however, most students didn't believe in fighting. "Fighting is definitely not a solution," said Deann Klever. "You can hit a pillow to let your anger out instead of hitting someone else." -Krissa Rossbund & Amy Thatcher Joel Waters Joh Watkins Pat Watkin David Wegman Barb Wehrrnacher Susan Well Jenny Wheeldon Andrea Wheeler Angie White Michele White Regina Whitney Dawn Wildner Jessica Wilks Matt Wille Heather William Mike Wojcke Tyler Woods Stephani Yearian ~127 Joe Acosta Terra Adams John Akers Pete Anderson Richard Anderson Michael Angeroth Emilee Applegate Kathy Baker Randy Ballenger Karen Barker Partricia Bartlett Steve Baxter Shirley Belt Matt Bennett Steve Beraldi Tina Berg Bobbi Jo Boehme Jennifer Bogardus Jeremy Bonar John Borwick Sid Bos Carrie Brookhart Aaron Brooks Jim Brown Kathy Brown Rachel Burgett Chris Bums Tiffany Butterbaugh Brian Butts Jordan Christiansen David Co!Jins Elaine Colter Jamie Combs Michelle Cox Pam Cozad Chris Croson Jackie Daley Jennifer Daniels Jeff Davis Kathleen Delehant Carol Dobek Tony Dominguez Kent Dreyer Stacy Ebling Michelle Edie Michelle Fastnacht Todd Feilen Jon Fenner Frank Ferguson Dustin Fichter Missy Fischer Shannon Flynn Heather Fox Stephanie Franks David Freeman Carrie Funkhauser Scott Garrison Nathan Gearhart James Gibson KimGift Steve Gillette Desiree Golden John Griffin Scott Grimsley Chad Grishaber Wes Gu tafson Chris Gylling Todd Haggstrom Nathan Hagman Shauna Hale Matt Hall Scott Hamling Off the Top of Dur Heads From rap to rock, students tune in usic Inadness Whether jamming to certain music at a school dance, singing to it in the car on the way to work, or playing it at a Friday night party, students showed a wide variety of tastes in music. "Alternative is my favorite kind of music because the bands that play it are usually really good. My favorite groups are The Rollins Band and The Velvet Underground because their lyrics are original. I got started listenjng to alternative when some friends and I went to Drastic Plastics in the Old Market. They got me hooked. Also I know a lot of people from Omaha who hang around in the club scene." -Eric Berner "I really hate Heavy Metal. It's too loud and you can't understand what they're saying. I like country music because it's kind of different from all other music and it is easy to understand. I also like the old stuff like John Lennon because it's super neat to hear what kind of music my parents listened to and actually ljke it." -Kellie Clifton "Billy Joel and Richard Marx are my favorite artists. I listen to soft rock because it's mellow and very relaxing. The lyrics are very easy to understand, unlike hard rock, which doesn't make any sense. -Craig Simmions "Country music is just not appealing to me. It's too twangy and the lyrics are too down home. It sounds lfre they don't have any education when they sing." -Matt Timm "I used to like classical music, but I outgrew it. Now I like alternative music like Jesus Jones because it's really easy to dance to. I can't stand headbanger music. Everyone acts crazy when they listen to it." -Chris Scott "Rap is cool, especially Candyman. It is easy to get into and dance to. I like the beat to it best. Before I moved to Council Bluffs, I dido 't like it, but the friends I met here listened to it and I djdn't have a choice but to listen.

In the comer of the room lay that night's homework, slowly collecting dust. Occasionally she glanced at the books, wondering if she should interrupt her five- hour phone conversation to do the work. Marathon phone calls were common among students. In a poll of 160 students, 20 said their longest conversation was three hours, and a fourth of those polled said their usual phone conversation lasted about 30 minutes. Two topics most often crept into phone conversations. Seventy-nine percent of students polled discussed weekend plans, while 73 percent discussed the opposite sex. Tim Riedesel and girlfriend Kirsten LeClair discussed a number of unique topics. "Kirsten and I talk about everything from what nail polish she should wear, to who is driving to school, to naming our kids, to future occupations," said Riedesel. Parents didn't find such conversations as exciting, though. In fact, 26 students said they argued with their parents weekly about the phone, which parents insisted would become permanently attached to their teen's ear. Andi Wheeler's father found a simple solution to those arguments. "I was on the phone really late and he kept letting me know that I had to get off the phone," said Wheeler. "Finally when I did, he came down and took the phone out of the wall. To this day the phone is still missing." Jessie Morris was another person whose Jong hours on the phone upset her parents. One night she had a friend over and they called a boy that she liked and talked to him for eight hours. At the same time her sister, who had gone out of town, was trying to call to let her parents know that she had arrived safely. She called and called and finally had to call the operator to make an emergency call. Needless to say, Morris's parents were very upset. Parents found one way to end the many hours on the phone was to ground the student. In the case of Riedesel and LeClair, even being grounded did not stop their long hours on the phone. Riedesel remembered when he and LeClair were grounded from each other for three days. On the first two days, they wrote each other notes during school and on the third, he told herto call him at l a.m. and he would have the phone under a pillow to muffle the sound. She called at exactly l a.m. and they talked for several hours after that. Not being able to talk on the phone was like a painful withdrawal for many students. "After I got grounded for my grades, the phone would ring, and on impulse I would jump up to get it," said Hartzell. "I was so starved to talk on the phone that it didn't matter who it was. I would have talked to anybody." -Jacki Hayes , Amy Judkins Diane Kalar Carrie Kalkman Christi Kelly Susan Kelly Nancy Kemmish Jim Killion Robert King Deann Klever Landon Knauss Kelly Knudson Brian Kruse Jenny Kullborn Cherry Kyle Jeff Larsen Laura Lash Kirsten Le Clair Becky Lee Darice Limpp Beth Linberg Molly Lookabill Anne Madison Grace Madsen Brad Malick SATURDAY AFTERNOON BLUES lead Waylon Foutch to call a few of his friends.

" Jeers and cheers rang out of the crowd as Mike Porter, who waited helplessly at the top of the bleachers, was lifted up into the air by a group of senior guys and thrown to the bottom of the bleachers, where another group of guys waited to 'catch him. "I was shocked when they picked me up," said Porter. "But there wasn't a whole lot I could do about it since they were a little bigger than me. The next thing I knew I was flying through the air." The "freshman toss" was only part of the action that went on off the football field at Friday night games. Although most students supported their team, the majority thought of football games as a time t'i) have fun, act crazy, and be with their friends. "I go to football games to be with my friends," said Matt Birdsong. "It really doesn't make a difference if we are at the mall or the game, just so long as we are hanging out together. Football games just seem to be where the most action is on Friday nights so we go there and walk around and talk to everyone." Many students agreed that socializing was the best part of football games. "The main reason I go to football games is to find out what's going on," said Shelly Lamkins. "My friends and I just walk around and see what everyone's doing after the game. It's a good way to find out where the Tramayne Mallindine Jessica Mankin Kevin Manz Cory Mase Sara Mason Nate May Justin Mayabb Jason Mayberry Christy McClairy Angie McConnell Rob McCoy Jennifer McDonald Kelly McGee Kari McKeeman Michelle McNeal Jared Merksick Amy Meyers Chad Miller Jacquie Mohatt Shay Molgard Becca Moli ne Misty Moore Tobbie Mowery Nicole Moxley 13~ parties are." While socializing seemed to be the most popular offthe-field entertainment, many students also had fun displaying their school spirit. "The night of the homecoming game Kelli Smith brought horns for some of our friends," said Kim Gift. "The crowd wasn't very energized, so we tried to pep them up by standing up and tooting the school song over and over again in our horns. We weren't really paying attention to the game, but at least we had a lot of fun and showed our spirit." Another popular way to show school pride was with cans of silly string and bags of confetti. "We always squirt silly string when our football team makes 9. touchdown because everyone is so excited," said Heather Haines. "It's a way to help the crowd have a good time and show our spirit." Whether looking for action on or off the field, most students agreed that Friday night football games were always a good time. -Melody Barajas GETTING WILD AT THE TEE JAY GAME, Craig Steppuhn, Benji Hewitt, and Jacquie Mohatt show their spirit by cheering AL on during the fourth quarter.

Despite the high cost, 13 out of 125 students polled said they regularly went to a dermatologist. "I've been going to a dermatologist once a month for over a year to get pills and topical cream," said Angie Johnson, whose parents had spent over $1000 on medicine and office visits. "Although my mom initially got me started and I don't think I would continue ifl had to pay for it myself, I do feel better about myself when the medication works. It's true when people say, 'If you look good, you feel good."' Tanning at salons was one of the most popular methods of self-improvement, with 25 percent of students polled saying they had tanned. "I have such a pale complexion that I used to get teased when I was younger, and I feel really pale when I don 't tan," said Kristi Neff, who had been tanning before special occasions for more than three years. "Deep down inside, I know I don ' t have that dark California tan, but getting a little color gives ~ a sense of being a little better than I used to be. I e probably spent more than $100 tanning." A more permanent way to change appearanc - was plastic surgery, which 16 out of 125 student polled said they would have if money were available. "I was croin cr in for surgery to reconstruct m ' I:> I:> "d h sinus tract," said Eric Potter, "and my doctor sat e could fix the bump on my nose where it had en broken when I was little.

Finally, tired and exhausted from arguing, Sue reluctantly thrust a dollar bill into the moocher's hand. This scene relpayed itself time after time, day after day, in the cafeteri a as dozens of moochers worked on their victims, especially on freshmen. In a poll of 130 students, 62 freshmen said they were hit al most everyday by a mooch, while most upperclassmen said they were accosted once a week or less. "A lot of freshmen are looking for friends, so they usually give you the money," said Jeremy Neely, a well known mooch, according to a survey. "They are not smart enough to realize friends can't be bought." Most polled said they did not like to support a moocher and felt bad after giving money away, knowing they would never see it agai n. "I feel dumb. I know I've been used," said Michelle Mooberry. "But moochers are the type of people who aren't afraid to do anything. They obviously know how to con you out of money." Moochers begged, whined, and irritated so much until finally their victims gave in. "I give into moochers because I want them to stop bothering me," said Sara Ogden. "It gets annoying having to sit and listen to them whine." Students said two of the most successful moochers were Neely and Travis Hatcher. "Hatcher and I have competitions," said the infamous Neely. "We see who can mooch and get the most. On an average day, I make about $4, and I, of course, always come out victorious. "My good looks and conniving personality bring me success, while Travis is just a freshman and doesn't know the tricks of the trade, like being friend] y."

Actually, the food is great and they have such good service." -Chris Woods "I really like all types of food, but next to Mexican food, Chinese is the best. My favorite Chinese restaurant is The Imperial Palace. Their atmosphere is great. It's so inviting and looks authentic. My favorite thing to order is the beef chow mien. It's tender vegetables and juicy bits of meat in the best sauce." -Heather Binns t= ttst food resfttttrttltf s 1. Taco Bell 2. Burger King 3. McDonald's 4. Subway 5. Pizza Hut 6. Taco Johns 7.

' ream_1n away In deep sleep when the subcon~cious ru~ed the mind, snoozers experienced the weird, the frightful, and the fanciful. "Everything was nonnal at home, and my house ~oked as it always had. I decided to go over and v1s1t my grandma. When I came back home, nothing was there. Everyone in my fami ly had moved out of my house for no apparent reason. All the furniture was gone and there was nothing in the house." -JJ Marsh "I was at the Academy Awards, and my family and I were all dressed up in really fancy outfits except for my dad who was embarrassing me because he was weaiing hol~y sweat pants and a plaid shirt. I was going to receive an award because I was a great actress, but I was running away because I didn't want ai1yone to know he was my dad. On top of that, Barbara Walters was chasing me down, trying to get an interview with me." - Jenny Kramer "My fiiend and I were-at the bowling alley, and my friend 's ex-boyfriend showed up. He had told u that on her sixteenth birthday, he was going to kidnap her and handcuff her. He started chasing both of us, and from out of nowhere, I popped out from behind a pop machine and shot him" -Gina DiCenzo "I always remember the reoccurring nightmare I used to have. This guy would stait chasing me through the vacant lot across the street from my house. A I would try to run away from him, the wind would tart blowing right at me and I couldn't run any farther. It didn't matter, though, because I always woke up before he caught me." -Am. Hagg ·cram Off the Iop of Our He a dS Pets a valued part of family life nilllal house Standing in the late afternoon sun, Pam Cozad carefully tossed the battered yellow tennis ball across her yard. Eagerly, filer collie, Button, retrieved the object and came bounding back, wanting to play again. "I feel it is important to play with my pets as often as I can," said Cozad. "They have grown to be part of the family and I think they really need a lot of attention." Of 141 students pollled, 115 had pets and 85 said their pets were extremely important to them. "If I were to lose one of my pets, I'd feFl terrible," said Ben Chase, whose family owned three dogs and two cats. "I'd feel like I had lost a best friend. My whole family wouJd be upset." Sometimes students were the only members of their family who cared about their pet. "My mom is petrified of my iguana, Sebastian," said Anne Madison. "She runs away from him and is afraid to feed him because she thinks he'll attack her Leo Long Bobby Madsen Man Mahlberg Aaron Mailey Jeni Malone Jody Mantich Amy Manz Karrie Marshall Courtney Martin Michael Mass Sadie Mass Jaclyn Mayberry Michelle McClure Bri an Mclntosh Kevin Mclntosh Tony Merksick Lisa Merrill Jon Merritt Marissa Michael Cara Miller Eric Miller Tony Miller Daniel Mohatt Kelly Mooberry Christina Moore Jessie Morris Marjie Muehlig Tracy Mulnix Terri Munch Tiffany Musgrave Jason Myers or something." Others were attached to their pets because they hoped to do well in 4-H competitions. "Every day I have to hold my rabbits and let them get used to me," said Shelly DeWitt. "In order for them to do well at fair, they have to be used to being handled often." Becoming attached to a pet bad drawbacks, especially the pain experienced when a pet died. "My family had a cat named Tabitha for about eight years," said Kelli Smith. "She got really old and couldn' t walk because the muscles in her back legs went out. The morally correct thing to do was to have her put to sleep, even though we hated to because we loved her so much. I cried for a long time when my mom took her away because I knew I'd never see her again. It was awful." Whether they owned-a dog, cat, or an iguana, students said their pets were an important part of everyday life. -Karen Barker Clay Nee 1 1 / Dia ... --. .. -- WHILE LOOSE IN THE HOUSE, Sadie, Anne Madison 's ferret, lets Madison hold her.

"I am an avid Republican, and in eighth grade we were having a discussion about politics. People started slamming on Richard Nixon, saying he was a crook and was going to jail. I got really mad and stuck up for him, so people started calling me Nixon." -Chad Sumpter "Brian Hiatt thought I looked like the guy on the Planter's peanut commercial, so he started calling me Peanut during football. When people heard about it, they started calling me that too. It's kind of stuck." -Bill Shipley "When I was five, I got my hair cut really short. I came home and my brothers started laughjng and saying I looked like a boy, and even my kindergarten teacher thought I was a boy. They started calling me Stanley, and at first I got really mad. But they still call me Stanley today, and it doesn't bother me anymore." -Stacey Knauss "I love country music, especially Garth Brooks. I have Garth Brooks C.D.' s, posters, magazine articles, pictures, and T-shirts. A few of my friends call me Garth Jr. because I like him so much." -Chad Nation "Everyone started calling me Flash after a bonfire party. I had heard two people were out in a car making out. Since I didn't have any film left, I went up to the car and pushed my test button so my flash would go off. Let me just say I saw a full moon.

Either in or out If you had a chance to do your life over again, would you still choose a career in teaching, knowing what you know today? "I would not have become a teacher. I would want to go into a career where I could still help people, yet receive more respect. I think that in any career that you put four years of college and $50,000 into, you should get more respect." - Jacque Hall "I wouldn't have become a teacher because I feel that students don't give a damn anymore and teachers don ' t get the support we used to." -Dennis DeVault "I would still choose a career in the teaching profession.

I like the degree of freedom with teaching; it's nice to be able to attend classes and take vacations with my family during the summer. I like to work with people and I feel I am doing something worthwhile." -Christine Fink "When I was in college, mo t women went into three field - teaching, nursing and secretarial. Today, there are many more professional opportunities for women which command more re pect and monetary rewards than teaching. Ifl had to do it over. I would not go into teaching." -Linda Smoley Teachers often found ... Speaking out Do you feel that America's education and economic systems are going downhill? Do you feel that young people today will not have as much educationally and economically as your generation? "America's education and economic systems are, to some degree, on their way down. I think it's a direct reflection of social problems with the disintegration of a family. However, I am optimistic with the educational goals of my own children that they will achieve or surpass my abilities." -Jim Cunningham "Our economic system is on a down fall because the government is looking for a quick-fix, or politically correct ways to solve long-term major problems." -William Forsee "I don ' t think education is falling.

The middle class is being squeezed out by expensive government programs that give tax breaks to the rich and welfare programs to the poor.

I was afraid that the people who lived in the houses would come out and see us, or a cop would drive by and see us." -Chris Jones "At a soccer game, Kelli Smith's film wouldn't roll back into her camera, and since you have to roll film in the dark, Kelli suggested I get into her trunk to roll it. That day it was 92 degrees, and the trunk felt like a sauna. I was afraid I would run out of air because it takes so long to roll the film. When I was done, I knocked, hoping I wouldn't get trapped." -Gina DiCenzo "One njght a friend's tire fell off, and he called me. It was about 2 a.m. He wanted me to come out and help him. We have only one door in our house, and my room is right next to my parents' room. I had to close their door as quietly as possible. I was so afraid I'd get caught because I knew ifl did, I'd be in big trouble. Luckily they didn 't catch me." -Michelle Edie "Corey Bell and I were in Target and took this Ecto Plasmic slime out of the package and threw it around the aisle. We put some in toy boxes and went back a couple of days later. It was still there, dried and crusted. Sales clerks were eying us most of the time we were in there, but I don't think they saw us." -Andy Sorensen. " I went driving without a license. I don't even have a permit. My parents weren't home and I had wanted to do that for a long time. I picked up a few friends and we went cruising. I hit a few curbs. My mom found out and I got grounded for one month." -Amy Huseth "Some friends and I were out one night. We planned on going to rock-a-bowl, but one person I was with wasn't supposed to go, and her dad was up there, so we had to leave. Not knowing what to do, we ended up just country driving.

In the beginning he said I would graduate. I have done everything I was supposed to. Five weeks before graduation he dropped me from seventh hour P.E. He said I missed too many days, but I am in golf, so I have an early out. I will fight this." -Rick Day "I worked so hard on the routine I did for porn pon and when I did it, my mind drew a total blank. Everybody only got one chance to try out, but there was one girl who got to do a videotaped tryout, which means she could have re-taped until it was perfect and she only came to one practice. I felt this to be unfair. -Lisa Rasmussen "In basketball, I don't feel people got fair playing time. During practice the coach always picked out the five starters and worked with them. He excluded the other players who weren't as good. He would do anything for a win. Ifwe didn't win, he would run us more and tell us we needed behaviormodificatons. He'donlypointoutthe things we did wrong and rarely gave compliments." -Marissa Michael "My dad is an alcoholic, and when he came home from the hospital where he was being treated, he still would not stop drinking. He has been an alcoholic for 12 years and when I was little, it used to scare me. Now that I'm older, it just worries me more. I used to go out and do bad things to get negative attention from my father, thinking that would make my dad stop. It didn't work, but I now try to stay off the street and out of trouble because I don't want to end up like my father. " -Eric Miller ALL RUN DOWN.

As we were sitting by the window, I looked out and saw a guy walking into the restaurant with his girlfriend. He looked like Luke Perry. Someone got the idea to ask for autographs. Theresa Savick was the first to go up to him, and then a group ofus gathered around their table saying things like we watched 90210 all the time. We told him we thought he was Luke Perry. He autographed napkins for us, signing his real name and putting "Luke" below it. His girlfriend took a pictme of all of us with him, and then Theresa took a picture of him with his girlfriend." -Molly Lookabill "One Saturday night a few of my friends and I went to Lake Manawa to go fishing. As it got dark, the water looked tempting and we decided to go swimming. We weren't planning on it, so Chad Nation and Ryan Kelly ran around looking for an extra pair of shorts. I couldn't find any, so I jumped in the water in my underwear. The worst part was the water was about 40 degrees. It wasn't so bad after your body went numb, but you had to keep moving around, and you couldn't stand up because there was a wind blowing across the lake that was freezing:" -Jon Fenner "After senior honors night, a couple of us seniors went out. We couldn't find anything to do, so we decided to tee-pee people's houses. We tried to think of people we didn't like, but we decided on people we knew. Kristin Capron just happened to be one of them. ALI of her house lights were on, and there was even a yard light on, but we did it anyway. After Kristin found out it was us, she told me she was going to get 40 people to come tee-pee my house. We decided to be clever and get her back before she could get me back, so we went and stole signs from all over town. We were going to put them in her yard , but they had a dog on the porch and her dad came out, so we tried to stick them in the ground right by the street before we took off. She never did get me back." -Jen Wheeldon SHOOTING FOR A DUNK.

Since my freshman year I haven't taken school as seriously as I should have. I let it go down so low I had to work hard to bring it up my junior year. I had to go in after school for extra help, I paid more attention in class, and I asked more questions. I think it's paid off for me." -Julie Porter "I wanted to make freshman football captain and I knew to achieve this, I'd have to give 110 percent. The competition was tough, especially with the talent on the line. I worked so hard in practice and at games, and I kept my team enthused. In short, I worked my butt off. I made captain." -Jim Hastie "In speech class, I switched my topic for my original oratory. I _ couldn't find enough information that was persuasive. I ended up doing an eight to ten minute speech all the night before. When I presented the speech, it wasn't long enough, and since I did it the night before, it wasn't as extemporaneous as I would have liked, but I think I got a pretty good grade." -Kellie Clifton "To make the honor roll this quarter, 1 took my homework home every night and spent two hours a night studying. I really had to push myself because all that studying was really getting boring." -Tracey Bourke "To get my design notebook done for journalism, I had to have encouragement so I bet Mrs. Smoley my ring that I would have it done. I didn't think she'd take my ring, but she did, and I had to get it back. It actually motivated me to get the notebook done." "I put together art projects, did research on the ecological system, and listened to all the music we were supposed to so that I could compete in the Academic Decathalon. In the end we didn't have enough people to compete anyway." -Gina Miller WHAT A DRILL.

Grossed out by their findings in a pig fetus's head, Stacy Seidler and Amy Snodgrass cringe while they dissect the fetus in instructor William Forsee's seventh hour zoology class. "Dissecting the pigs was so gross!" said Seidler. "It smelled awful, and when I cut the heart open, all this brown stuff burst out of it everywhere. I was so glad when we were done." The pigs were the last species students had to dissect before the year's end. (Photo by Amy egrete) If EAVE-HO.

After 180 days of school, though, we were used to his demands that we get to class on time and keep the building spotless. We had come to expect his friendly pats on the back and personal stories he loved to tell. Principal Jim Lake had lost his novelty. But the spirit and changed attitudes he brought about remained fresh and new within us, whether we were underclassmen sweating it out until the very last day or graduates marching down the aisle.

Instead of letting off stink bombs and littering the halls with seas of trash as in the past, most students were found participating in class discussions and taking exams until the very last minute of the last day. As the year drew to a close, we were outta here in a style AL had never een before. -Melody Barajas i eART ATTACK!

Instead of the good-natured pandemonium of pep assemblies and sporting events, a deathly silence filled the crowed fieldhouse. Quietly, students waited for PrincipalJirn Lake to explain his first hour announcement which had canceled the Homecoming picnic and car rally. Lake had imposed the punishment because of disorderly conduct and alcohol use at the --- TeeJay game. Taking the microphone before the student body, Lake reinstated the picnic and car rally, citing unfairness to student government members planning the events and those not involved at the game. However, Lake said problems still needed to be solved. NOSE JOB. To transform Karen Barker's car • into Al's mascot for the Homecoming car rally Oct. 2, Jenifer Steger tapes a Lynx nose to the hood.

Although the year may have gotten off to a bleak beginning, students began to make a scene. For the second time in the last three years, the volleyball team qualified for state competition in Cedar Rapids Nov. 12-14. Although the netters lost to Knoxville 1-4, they were the first AL team in history to win a game in a state team competition. On a national scale, The Echoes staff won its first National Pacemaker, an award given to nine school newspapers in the country. Also, the speech and debate team won one of 50 national awards for excellence in speech. Some students traveled across the country to be recognized. The 200-member Southwest Iowa Honor Marching Band performed in the Fiesta' Bowl Parade in Tempe, AZ. Thirteen AL students qualified to join them and appear on national television Jan. 1. Whether improving school pride or winning national awards, students found many ways to make a scene. -Karen Barker and Kelly Knudson ~Open ng -- 1~ ···~· - -- ~---- Ge, , Ak ~4 ...

The audience, packed into the fieldhouse for a Dec. 11 pep assembly, broke into cheers as members flaw less! y tossed their flags back and forth. The color guard performance was just one example of students entertaining others through school activities or surprise shows. The musical, The Wizard of Oz, which had more than 100 actors ranging in age from five to eighteen, also amused students. "Everybody liked The Wizard of Oz," said Carrie Brookhart. "People loved seeing the little kids because they're so cute, and I think they were surprised at how well they spoke with an Irish accent." But not all shows were school-sponsored. By singing "Elvira" in a karaoke contest at their hotel, volleyball players amused a bar full of people at the state volleyball tournament in Cedar Rapids. "The people in the bar wouldn't let us in because we were underage," said Nancy Kemmish. "But we got our coaches to talk to them and they let us in to sing one song. It was embarrassing but fun. On certain parts of 'Elvira' the front row would bob down and then the back row would bob down when the front row came back up. 011e table in the audience was even cheering us on and clapping with the music." Taking their love of performing even further, Eric Potter, Jodi Wonder, Stacy Hathaway and Tara Roberts started a "Nerd-AGram'' business, for which they dressed up as nerds and serenaded friends and family for their birthdays. "We had such a blast on Nerd Day during Homecoming last year, we wanted to dress up more often," said Potter. "The first time we went out was the best. WewenttoGrisanti's fora birthday. We went up to the table and everyone got out of the booth to watch. Then we sang 'Happy Birthday' and, at the end, I ripped open my shirt to show 'Happy Birthday' written on my chest. The person we were singing to was totally embarrassed . Her face was .bright red! We were worried that we'd be disturbing other people's dinner, but everyone in the restaurant was totally silent watching us. It was such a blast, an unbelievable high." From planned performances to spontaneous shows to moneymaking schemes, students found acting up a valuable form of recreation. -Kelly Kn udson tudent Life Division With a wink to their audience, color guard members Robin Shepar d and Connie Roden perform a routine to "I get by with a little help from my friends" at KirnJuniorHighJan.14.

After she collected enough leaves to make a wreath for her Toga Day costume, she looked at the clock and realized she had spent more than two hours working on her Homecoming costume. "I spent at least an hour every night, plus a couple of hours the weekend before, preparing my outfits and thinking of original, cute ideas," said Neff. The extra time Neff spent on her costumes was noticed when she dressed up for Animal Day, Hippie Day, Toga Day, Midwestern Day and Spirit Day. Neff dressed up for many reasons. "Since it's my senior PENGUIN POWER. Showing her school spirit by dressing up as a penguin, Kristi Neff eats lunch on Animal Day.

Some approved, some complained of unfairness, but all voiced feelings of shock and disbelief in response to Principal Jim Lake's first hour announcement on the Monday of Homecoming week that he was cancelling Friday's picnic and car rally. Lake cited disorderly conduct and blatant alcohol use at the ALTeeJay football game the previous Friday as reason for the punishment.

(Photo by Gina DiCenzo) As students and staff reflected on Lake's announcement, they were forced to address serious problems during what had traditionally been a week of fun and games. After the shock wore off, many students were angry. "Mr. Lake's announcement made me mad," said Brandi Brown. "I had been planning on being in the car rally with five of my friends since before the car rally was even announced." Others were concerned with fairness. "I know trying to stop people from drinking was right," said Donny Kramer, "but only a handful of students ruined Homecoming week." Later, Lake also became concerned with fairness.

Lake then explained that a breathalyzer would be used at all succeeding school functions to curb alcohol use. "I hope we don't have to check anyone," said Lake. "But with their conduct, students have forced me to take action." Despite worries that Homecoming spirit couldn't be restored, the picnic was spirited and successful. "Before Friday, hardly anyone dressed up and particiapted," said Grant Muehlig. "On Friday, though, the mood changed drastically. People I had never seen dress up before dressed up for Spirit Day and the picnic." After eating a school lunch of hot dogs, baked beans and potato chips, students talked with their friends, played football and Frisbee, or danced to Primus.

After the picnic, students encouraged the football team at the pep assembly, also held on the field. Though the football team lost 7-60 to Burke, many students saw an improvement in fan behavior. "Before the breathalyzer, I'd spend football games complaining about people smoking and falling all over everyone," said Jen Steger. "But at the Homecoming game, I could actually hear people cheering. It sounds cliche, but my friends and I left feeling proud of AL." At the student government-sponsored dance, students danced in a "Time Warp" with each comer of the fieldhouse representing a different era. "When we first got to the dance, it was slow," said Kellie Clifton. "It took everyone a while to get excited, but after coronation it was more fun."

The spooky mood had been created for the DECA-sponsored Halloween dance, "Monster Bash," which offered students yet another Halloween activity. "After we decided to definitely have the dance, it took a lot of planning," said Manny Hernandez, DECA vicepresident. "We started a month before, getting donations from businesses for door prizes and food. We also setup chaperones, security guards and a d.j. But after all the time spent, we broke about even."

"My friends and I went to Mystery Manor," said Pete Tornabane. "In the first room, I saw a guy standing like a statue. I flipped him off, so he slammed me against the wall and shoved me out the chicken exit. I was surprised he kicked me out for that." Like Tornabane, others found Halloween a time for mischievous fun. Eight girls seeking revenge scurried from a van to launch toilet paper into the trees of Chad Lapel's yard. After only five minutes, Tracy Thomas noticed Lapel's dad watching from the window. "When Tracy yelled, 'Oh my God, his parents are watching,' we dropped everything and ran for the car," said Allison Borman. "Chad's dad yelled,' Get the license plate number!' But Tracy drove off too fast. We were so lucky we didn't get caught." Whether tricks or treats, Halloween activities surprised students. -Rhonda Fanning Putting on a blond wig, Jennifer Barker becomes Jan Brady for the Halloween dance.

Although panic sturck the instant she looked at the ballot's sea of levers and unfamiliar names, Walker soon found help. ''When I walked in, I felt stupid, but the lady by the booth was nice," Walker said. "She put the machine on a mock setting for me. Without her I would've had no idea what to do." Despite the fear of "looking stupid," first time voters from 18 to 21 years old turned out in larger numbers than ever before, up 17 percent from 1988' s voter turnout. Some credited the increase in younger voters to better education. Through MTV's "Rock the Vote" campaign and TV specials like "Choose or Lose," many learned more about the voting process and Mischievously, Peggy Murray and Brian Kruse hang Democratic signs on Chad Sumpter's car in the school parking lot on election day.

They even had booths in shopping centers," said Brandy J. Brown. "I thought it was a long process, but all I did was send in my name and social security number." Another reason for greater turnout, some felt, was more choices, with baby boomer Bill Clinton and billionaire Ross Perot opposing the Republican adminstration of the past 12 years. "I think having three candidates instead of two made it interesting," S<!-id Jennifer Bogardus. "Perot wasn't your typical phony politician. He didn't say things just to get votes, and I think kids really liked that." Across the nation, Clinton won 44 percent of the popular vote to Bush's 40 percent and Perot's 16 percent. -Emilee Applegate M aking sure all eligible voters have a ride to the polls, Gina Malloyandherfather,Jon,make phone calls from Democratic headquarters.

With her blonde hair curled perfectly and her makeup in place, Sara Borman had just finished getting ready for another day at school. Suddenly, her father announced that school was cancelled for the day, due to slippery roads. "I was mad because other schools found out at 6:30 and they didn't announce us until 7:15," said Borman. "Even though I was all ready, I went back to bed!" School cancellations became farnilar to students as winter storms caused three snow days and four late starts during the winter. Many students took advantage of the unexpected breaks. ''My friends and I went sledding on the hill behind the Do Wash Car Wash," said Brian Collier. "When I was going down, I hit this huge Artist at work, Charlotte Trappet paints Heather Ruby's cheek at Lyn x-0-Rama Jan. 29.

The Booster Club sponsored fundraiser included a chili cook-off, auction, karaoke machine, and carnival games run by various organizations.

Suddenly Trisha Haubrich yelled out, "Hey she thinks you're cute and sexy," pointing to Smith. Overcome with humiliation, Smith slouched down in her seat and covered her head with her jacket. As the guys laughed and drove on, Smith poked her head out of her jacket and whispered," Are they gone yet?" "It was so embarrassing when Trisha started saying stuff to the guys about me," said Smith. Although Smith was embarrassed, she enjoyed every minute of her evening with friends. "The best part was it didn't cost anything," said Smith. "It shows I can have a good time without spending money and be with my friends." Like Smith, many students on a tight budget searched for cheap thrills. They found inexpensive good times cruising Broadway, watching movies with friends, or picnicing and walking around Con-Agra and the Old Market with dates. Enjoying an inexpensive meal, Angie Johnson and Danny Stock eat at the West Broadway Taco Bell. "We do ch eap stuff all the time," said Johnson. "One time we got blankets an d hot chocolate and sat at the top of the cemetary and looked at the stars and the city." (Photo by Pat Linehan) Teena Jacoby found a cheap thrill while watching six hours of movies with friends. "We started watching movies around 9 p.m. and it lasted until 3 a.m.," said Jacoby. "Since none of us had any money, we all just sat around and watched the sorriest of movies, like Faces of Death 3, and listened to music." Both Smith and Jacoby agreed that the people they were with were more important than the money they spent. "When you don't have money, there's always something new and exciting to do," said Jacoby. "I never know what's going to happen next with my friends" While Smith and Jacoby found cheap thrills with friends, Jason Van Every and his date Teena Juhl spent a romantic, inexpensive evening picnicing at ConAgra. "We had a picnic basket and we just sat on a blanket and ate," said Van Every. "After we ate, we walked hand and hand around the water and looked at the lights." Van Every found the evening fun and relaxing as well as cheap. "I was very jumpy all week because I had a lot of things going on," said Van Every. "Just walking around with Teena made me more relaxed." With friends or a date, many students created inexpensive good times. - Nicole Hansen Cheap Thrills ~ Unhappy with mainstream fashions/ students are reakino Away When Kathleen Delehant was in junior high school, getting ready for school often included slipping into a pair of Guess? jeans and a preppy sweater. As a high school senior, her wardrobe choices had changed to become Doc Marten boots, a leather biker jacket and assorted '60's clothes. "When I was in junior high, I dressed like everyone else because I wanted to fit in and be in the supposedly 'cool' clique," said Delehant. "My freshman year I realized I hated being trendy and wearing brand names. I started dressing how I wanted to because being in a clique didn't matter to me anymore." Delehant wasn't the only student who chose to wear unconventional fashions. Out of 100 students polled, 30 said they wore clothes that were considered different. Students chose alternative fashions for many reasons. "I choose clothes based on what fits with my unusual personality and what I think I will look good in," said Gere Nelson, who preferred baggy jeans and long flower-print or tie-dyed skirts. "I just never liked tight jeans or little striped shirts.that said 'Guess?' across them." Ben Lake said he began dressing in a style that included bell bottoms, combat boots, and concert tshirts because the style was popular at the school he used to attend. "There were a lot more people who dressed this way ~Student Life at my old school in California," said Lake. "There we had alternative clothing stores and nightclubs, where everyone who dressed this way hung out. There isn't really anything like that here, so people dressed in this style stand out and get teased. I think the trend will grow once people get used to it." Others stumbled across an alternative look by accident. "When I was on vacation in Colorado with my family, it was absolutely freezing so I started wearing my dad's flannel shirts," said Carrie Brookhart. "They were comfortable and warm, so I kept wearing them all the time, and now they're considered an alternative fashion." Whatever the reason for breaking away from the world of preppy brand names, students realized one thing: the importance of being themselves. "I've heard so many ridiculous stories and rumors about myself just because of the clothes I wear," said Delehant. "I've been called a witch, a druggie, and even satanic. It made me realize how closed minded some people can be, but it didn't stop me from being myself. I try to hang out with people who have an open mind and respect me for having one too. That's all that's really important." -Karen Barker I n some of their favorite clothes, Nikki Hartzell and Scott Adams talk by Hartzell's locker before class. (Photo by Amy Tilley) - ... '· Army fatigues, a "Sex Pistols" t-shirt, combat boots, and red and white striped tights--most people would never wear even one of these items, but for Eric Berner, this was just one of many unusual clothing combinations he wore regularly. "I've been dressing this way since sixth grade," he said. "It's just my own particular style." WhilesomeofBerner's wilder articles of clothing included a pair of green, red and white rayon bell bottoms and bizarre hats, some days he wore simple t-shirts and jeans. "I'll wear about anything," said Berner. "One day I'll dress as a total punk and the next day I'll come to school in a suit. It depends on my mood." Berner said he had no plans to stop dressing the way he did. "I'm always doing what feels right to me so I doubt I'll ever stop dressing like this," he said. "The clothes are a big part of who I am."

Into her car, she tossed a backpack full of homework she knew wouldn't be finished for the next day. Since she began working at Amigo's, Adams said she of ten neglected her homework or did it haphazardly. "My grade point average has dropped from 3.6 to 3.1 since I started working," she said. "I usually just cram my homework into the mornings before class or turn it in late." Like Adams, more than one-third of students polled said their job affected time they spent on school work. Although Adams didn't work late hours because she was only 15 years old, many students found their grades suffered because they worked late into the night. Almost 'SO percent of the students polled said they worked past 9:30 at least four times a week. Carrie Funkhauser often came to school late after working extra hours at Target for Christmas. "One night I didn't get off work until midnight," she said. "The next day I didn't get to school until about 11 because I was tired from working the night before." Whether or not they worked late, many students simply worked too much. Fifty percent of students polled worked between 20 C oncentrating, Kevin Daub sacks groceries at Rog & Scotty's. "I like working because of the other employees," said Daub, who worked four days a week. (Photo by Brian Anderson) and 40 hours a week. Shane Martin often worked 30 to 35 hours a week at Pizza Hut and stayed past two in the morning on many school nights. Although Martin often didn't finish his homework and arrived at school after nine many mornings, he said working affected his grades only slightly. "Since my grades have never been all that great," he said, "the only thing my job influences is the amount of time I spend on my homework each night, which is usually less than an hour." Yet, teachers maintained that students who worked 30 hours a week often got an inferior education, whether the student realized it or not. "I think working has a detrimental effect on students," said history instructor Mary Gepner. "They come to school too tired to concentrate, and when they have to make a decision between school and job, their schoolwork usually suffers." Lowering classroom standards was a result, according to math instructor Robert Pettepier. He said many teachers including himself lowered expectations so students could keep up. As a result of growing teacher concern, some local businesses had already cut back the hours teens could work. "We don't allow students to work past 10 p.m.," said Hy-Vee assistant manager Dean Stucky. "We feel they need that extra time to finish their school work." -Amy Haggstrom Jobs~ Fast food/ sweets send many into unhealthy eeding Frenzy If someone spent thousands of dollars to give you instuctions for living years . longer, you would probably follow their advice, right? Wrong! The government spent thousands of dollars to create and publicize a "food pyramid" to help Americans plan for healthy eating. Among the six food groups, health officials advised three to five servings of fruits and vegetables each day, as a way to guard against fat, heart disease, and even cancer. Despite warnings that even teenage eating habits would affect future body weight and health, most teens either didn't get the message or simply decided not to heed the warnings. "I'm concerned about my health and realize things I eat now will affect me later, but I don't change the way I eat," said Jade Anderson. "If I'm lucky, I get one serving of fruits and veggies a day, and even then, my mom has to make me eat it." Many students claimed they were just too busy to follow a healthy diet. "I don' t eat breakfast unless I have sports after school," said Shannon Rindone. "Then we stop at Burger King and grab a croissant. I don't have time otherwise. I get up at 5:45 and leave home at 6:15 for porn pan." While some students neglected meals to get to extracurricular activities, jobs kept others from getting three healthy meals a day. "I hardly ever eat dinner," said Diane Kalar. "I go to ~ Student Life work right after sixth hour and don't get home until 7:30. I'm usually super tired and have homework to do, and making dinner takes too much time." Fast food was an alternative that 46 percent of students polled turned to two to three times a week. Students' favorite fast food restaurants wereTaco Bell and Burger King. Even though salads were available at Buger King, only four students said they ever chose the mixture of fruits or vegetables. Busy schedules often provided excuses for not eating the right foods, but a nutritionally balanced lunch was available to every student in the cafe each day. Nevertheless, only about 500 students regularly bought a balanced meal, according to head cook Betty Franks. On the other hand, more than 240 students purchased cookies, about 100 bought ice cream, and nearly 95 students purchased just an order of french fries. "I love the french fries and cookies, said Allison Borman. "I don't like any of the main courses except pizza and I wake up so late, I don't have time to make lunch."

Later, Haggstrorn's parents told him and his sister they were getting a divorce. "It was a total shock. It's like I woke up and it was decided," said Haggstrom. "I didn't know what to do or think. I guess I took it out at school. I didn't do my school work and got into trouble all the time." Like Haggstrom, 35 out of 95 students polled had parents who are divorced. With divorce came a series of adjustments for most students. First, they had to adjust to living without one of their parents. When Arny Kramer's parents divorced, she was two years old, so she lived most of her life without her mother. Even at age 16, however, she was still adjusting to life with a single parent. "I'm the only girl in the house, so there is really no one else to t alk to," said Kramer, "so I talk to my friends when I have problems at school or with my boyfriend." Other students soon B y moving notebooks to another room, Andy D. Sorensen helps his mother, Carol So,rensen, clean. As the only male in his house, he often helped out. (Photo by Brian Anderson) learned that having just one parent meant a lot more responsibilities for children. "I've got to do all of the yard work and electrical work. I'm the fix-it guy," said Andy D. Sorensen. "I think being the man of the house has made me more responsible, but I still get ticked at my morn because she won't try to fix anything." The most difficult adjustment many children faced was the unwelcome addition of a stepparent to the family. "When I was nine years old, I was a real brat," said Carrie Cooper. "I wouldn't listen to my steprnorn at all. I felt like she was interfering in my life and she had no right to because I didn't want a second morn." But Cooper said she gradually grew up and worked out her problems with her stepmother. "My steprnorn and I worked into a routine where we made deals with each other to do stuff," said Cooper. "I basically became more mature. It's like we're friends now and we talk about everything together." Like Cooper, many teens in divorced families felt their experience had caused them to grow up a little faster than other students. "Since I don't live with my morn, it will be easier for me when I get married or move out on my own because I know how to manage a home," said Kramer. "All in all, I think everything has turned out all right, but I still don't think an yone should get di vorced." -Jennifer Kramer Fa il ~ After sudden resignation/ cast members move in ew Direction As the cast of Bye Bye Birdie went over music in the choir room, director Steven Brockway opened the door and interrupted them. ''I'd like to speak to the choreographers please," he said. Five people followed Brockway into the music library, expecting him to talk about dance numbers. Instead, he announced he was resigning from all extracurricular activities and couldn't direct the play. "Mr. Brockway told us he was resigning because of the administration, but he didn't elaborate on what the problems were," said Eric Potter. "I think the last straw was when he cancelled a Follies performance and Mr. Lake made him put it back on. I totally agree with Mr. Brockway's decision. I would have been gone a long time ago." Despite fears that the play would be cancelled, the problem was solved a week tudent Life later when Tee Jay drama instructor John Gibson agreed to direct the show. Gibson not only helped save the play, but he also gave students who had been involved in previous productions a chance to experience different directing styles. "They were both good directors, but they were very different," said Brian Collier, who had parts in Bye Bye Birdie and The Wizard of Oz, a children's theatre production directed by Brockway. "Mr. Brockway created excellent special effects for Wizard, while Mr. Gibson was good creating characters. I think both plays turned out well, but in different ways." The two directors also interpreted stories differently. "Mr. Gibson wanted everything in Bye Bye Birdie exactly like it was on Broadway," said Sonja Smith. "Mr. Brockway had his own style for Wizard. He wrote the script and songs and added a twist to the original story." -Karen Barker C rowded around a table, chorus members Tony Weddle, Bill Bos, Bryan Howland, J.D.

(Loving Individuals Giving Help Through Trust) program, the students learned leadership techniques so they could work with the elementary-aged cast of The W izard of Oz, a children's theatre production. "We were responsible for about five kids at every performance and rehearsal," said Jim Wood. "We watched over them and they'd come to us with problems. We helped by using what we learned at the workshop." Students found the techniques taught could be applied to other areas. "We learned how to praise people effectively and avoid put-downs," said Shelly DeWitt. "That could be used in a leadership position or friendship. The skills help every part of your life."

"Ryan went to the bathroom and I was sitting there alone at the table," said Hayes. "The waitress came up with this huge white cake with a candle in the center.

I think it's very possible; we've had professionals around Omaha tell us, 'You guys are very good, maybe even the best, at what you do.' I think we surprise ourselves with what we come up with." The Omaha Youth Philharmonic and Omaha Youth Symphony also offered students a chance to showcase their talents. In each symphony, approximately 60 metro high school musicians practiced together once a week and performed in concerts from September to March. "In Philharmonic, it's nice to show my abilities and play for a whole new variety of people in Omaha," said Anja Hochlan, who played the harp and percussion in Youth Philharmonic. "I've learned more musically and been inspired to play for more advanced symphonies in the future." Not all students had to perform to be stars.

When he looked around, he saw swarms of children like the girl begging for a few coins. "The children were covered with dirt," said Potter. "And even though it was cold, none of them had shoes.

"They drank the water straight out of the river and there were a lot of diseases. It really made me glad I didn't have to live there." When 27 members of the First Christian Church youth group built houses for the homeless in Tijuana, Mexico, they also experienced extreme poverty, and realized having money wasn' t as important as it seemed. "Before we went to Mexico, we thought some of the barest necessities of life were running water and electricity," said Kim Gift. "But the people down there have never had that, and they were really happy. We learned that we could survive without luxuries and still be happy. The Mexican people really taught us a lesson on life." Though the people had almost nothing, they were willing to give the youth group their very best, Amy Thatcher said. "We were outside cooking frozen meat on our Coleman stove and the flame wasn't hot enou gh to thaw it," said Thatcher. "This lady named Jovita let us into her house to ) use her stove. It really surprised us because we were to- - / tal strangers, and she let us in out of the kindness of her heart. You don't see that in the Sta tes."

I'd stay up all night just thinking about him," said Walton While some students turned to friends or solitude for help , Sara Barton turned to alcohol and drugs to deal w ith her mother's suicide. "My mom died of a drug overdose, and I started drinking becau se I wanted to keep her memory alive, and that was all I remember her doing," said Barton. "I didn't know she had committed su icide until three years later, and by that time, I was already drinking and smoking marijuana heavily. " After I found out she committed suicide, I got a lot worse, and finally got busted for public intoxication." As Barton's drugs and alcohol problem progressed, she became more like her mother. "I thought my mother committed suicide because she was an alcoholic and a very unhappy lady," she said . "I was on the same road. I just wanted to die so I cou ld be with my mom. Finally, I realized I hurt a lot of people and needed to get help. "I checked myself into a treatment center and learned ·:~ to handle problems without turning to alcohol.

"I've been in band, color guard, and this year I'm on AL Insider. I figured if I moved, I wouldn't have time to get involved in things out there." Even though Klever and Hayes had little contact with their parents, they didn't regret their decision to stay. "I don't regret it at all," said Klever. "It's hard and you really miss the little things, like your parents making your lunch. But if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't change my decision." Although some students whose families moved were allowed to stay behind, some were forced to go with their family. Junior Jake Ainslie's father was offered a job in Ironwood, MI. Although Ainslie asked to stay in Council Bluffs, his parents felt it was best for him to stay with the family. "They wanted to keep the family together," said Ainslie. "They figured things would be just too hard with me down here and the rest of the family up there. Maybe if it was my senior year and I only had one year left, things would have worked out.

The assemblies were held after several incidents of harassment had been reported to the administration. The objective was to define what sexual harassment is and make students aware of its consequences. In a poll of 97 students, 78 said the assemblies were a good idea. "I think some kids didn't know how serious sexual harassment was until the assembly," said Trappett. "I think the discussions helped students realize how much it can hurt and that it canhappen to anyone, boy or girl." Other concerns were also voiced by students. "The assemblies really got people's emotions worked up, because we had never had the chance to tell how we felt about things like public display of affection and teachers going overboard reporting incidents that aren't really har~ss e:1t'." said Dan Paulson .

Although teens were bombarded with scary facts, they continued to engage in dangerous behavior that put them at risk of contracting the deadly disease. In an Echoes poll of 114 students, 65 percent said there was a high probability of contracting AIDS at AL. Yet, 71 percent said they were sexually active, and of those, only 57 percent said they always used protection. "The reason students are at high risk is simple," said Kevin Birusingh. "They have unprotected sex. Theyjustdon'twant to bother with the hassle of using protection." Others felt students w ere a t risk because using drugs and alchohol destroyed their ability to think clearly in dangerous situtations.

On March 20 teen violence seemed to cross the river into Council Bluffs when Chris De Wolf was run over after an altercation w ith another teen at a stop light. Four incidents is not something to give one cause for extreme concern," said Diimig. "My gut feeling is that schools here are not violent places. We've had nine expulsions this year and last, compared to none in the past, but that is due to changes in the hours later, he died at Saint Joseph Hospital. "It's sad that a simple fight had to end that way, especially to such a nice person," said Michelle McNeal. DeWolf's death was even more shocking because violence, for the most part, was not a factor in the life of Council Bluffs teens. Among the school system's 10,000 students, there had been only nine expulsions related to violence, as of April. One expulsion was for striking a staff m ember, another for starting a fire, and four for possession of a weapon.

The School Board had rewritten the Code of Conduct to include more expellable offenses. Three years ago, for example, threat of assualt was a suspendable act, but by 1993, it had become grounds for expulsion. Most students felt that even with the rise in violence across the nation, their school was a relatively safe place to be. "Most schools have students that come to school everyday with guns and weapons," said Amy Varner. "I thank God that I don't live in an area where I have to fear for my life everytirne I walk in the school." other three expulsions were due to a single ~L---------------' Despite a drastic rise in school violence nationwide, Council Bluffs officials maintained that the district was taking a strong, proactive approach to ensure student safety and keep violence out of the schools. weapon being passed among three students.

If parents only knew how many times a scene like this had occurred in their homes, they would be appalled. Out of 101 students polled only 24 had never sneaked out. Almost 90 percent of the students polled who had sneaked out said they did it because their parents didn't give them enough freedom. "My parents are too strict," said Daniel Bernholtz. "They never let me do anything. I feel stupid because I have to be in by the time my friends are just starting to have fun."

Do I love you? Yes!" This is just one of the many poems, riddles, and cards that Jane Lake has received from her husband, Principal Jim Lake, over the 25 years they've been married. "When I first saw her, I knew she was the one," said Lake. "It was then I realized I had to marry her. I couldn't let her get away." Though students may not have realized it, many hard-core educators were hopeless romantics. Imagine home economics instructor Nancy Tangeman and her husband, industrial arts instructor Vonnie Tangeman, 30 years ago. The now grandparents were then a young couple eloping to be together when their families didn't approve of their marriage. "My parents weren't in favor of our marriage, but we loved each other and we wanted to be together," said Mrs. Tangeman. "One Saturday in August he picked me up at home and we left for Lincoln, w here we began what ended up a 30-year marriage." Like the Tangemans, Coach Rick Wahl and TAG strategist Christine Wahl, who married in 1976, found it important to spice their marriage with romantic gestures on a regular basis. Coach Wahl said his wife did her part by preparing candlelight dinners after the kids went to bed. Mrs. Wahl said her husband was also a romantic, recalling her favorite surprise. "When we got married, he bought me a child's bracelet with a tennis racket on it," said Wahl. "Then on my 40th birthday, he surprised me with a diamond and sapphire bracelet.'.' Special dinners and gifts enhanced the romance in any marriage, but long lasting romance could exist only with true commitment. In substitute Sue Hauser and science instructor Joe Hauser's case, such commitment kept them together. "He's stuck by me through all the surgery and hospital bills," said Sue Hauser, who had battled cancer for 10 years. "He's really been the rock in our family. Without him, I don't know if we would have made it." Through loving poetry, special surprises, and lasting loyalty, some of AL' s faculty members proved romance was alive and well in their lives. -Sara Adams EARLY RISERS.

(Photo by Gina DiCenzo) Teacher Romance~ HORROR Illnesses, injuries prove faculty has its share of TOUGH BREAKS Instructor William Forsee lay in his driveway, writhing in pain. To keep from screaming, he put his wallet in his mouth and bit down as hard as he could. Seconds earlier when he had tried to kick his son's skateboard out of the way, it slipped out from under him and he flipped into the air, landing hard on his right leg. Forsee' s femur split lengthwise as the bone beneath it was thrust up through it. "I just lay on the garage floor as my son looked at me," said Forsee. "He felt so bad. That night when he got home, he broke his skateboard into little pieces and threw it away." During surgery two days later, Forsee had two screws placed in his knee, one in his hip, and pins were inserted to hold the femur together. Forsee lost five to six units of blood and was given eight units within the next 24 hours. After 10 days, Forsee left the hospital, but he didn't start teaching until Nov. 16, and he walked on crutches for the rest of the year. On Oct. 21, art instructor David Holmes was also injured while riding his motorcycle on Highway 6 when he swerved into a field to avoid a collision with a deer and a car. Five minutes later, a farmer found him knocked out. Holmes's injuries included a crushed right ankle, broken ribs, and a damaged right collar bone. GIFfWRAPPED.

(Photo by Gina DiCenzo) ~Teachers He should have returned to school after four to five weeks, but complications with his ankle healing properly kept him out for the rest of the school year. Forsee and Holmes were not the only teachers to have serious accidents. Instructor Stephen Brockway had neck surgery in early April to replace cartilage damaged from a bar falling on his neck eight years ago. A month later, Brockway was walking down the stairs at his home when he fell, hit his head on the railing, and caused the incision to come open. He didn't return for the rest of the year and wore a neck brace to prevent further damage. Principal Jim Lake was also absent after he injured his knee playing basketball. His surgery caused him to miss two days from work and he was on crutches for two weeks. Serious illnesses sent other faculty members to the hospital. Instructor Larry Brown had triple bypass surgery and was absent for seven weeks. Instructor Linda Patton had emergency surgery for an intestinal dysfunction and missed two and a half weeks. Assistant principal Fred Maher was hospitilized for 10 days due to clogged vessels. Finally, instructor Jim Sutherland was absent four weeks after abdominal surgery. The 1992-93 school year proved to be a difficult one for AL's faculty. Heather Neumann Two teachers die after battling disease Larry Harriman Industrial arts instructor Larry Harriman died March 21, 1993, after battling leukemia for three years. His death was shocking to students and teachers because just two days earlier, he was teaching and even talking with colleauges about new programs for next year. On Saturday, the cold he had been fighting turned into pneumonia because his immune system had been damaged by the leukemia. He died at Jennie Edmundson after being admitted hours earlier. The funeral was held March 24 at Meyer Funeral Home. "He was always happy and made everyone laugh," saidLarryHieb. "Healways helped everyone strive for an A." Arlan Johnson Arlan Johnson, English instructor, died Aug. 16, 1992 from an opportunisitc disease brought on b y the AIDS virus. In the last three years, Johnson had fought pneumonia, meningitis, kidney infection, and a broken hip. Along with a memorial at the West Center Chapel Aug. 20, teachers held a memorial Aug. 28 at school. "We lost a dedicated teacher," said Jacque Hall, lead English instr u ctor.

For a presentation on African leadership in instructor Mary Gepn er's world history class, Wennighoff pretended to be Zaire's president and was interviewed by Tim Owen and Joel Grondek. "Reading chapters and taking multiple choice tests gets boring," said Grondek. "Doing research and projects keeps you interested. It also teaches independence and fits more people's learning styles." Gepner's approach was typical of new methods of assessment. Driven by the belief that memorization isn't as important as understanding the material, many teachers focused on _!llaking a smaller amount of information more meaningful. This approach often included creative assignments and group work. One example of the "less is more" philosophy was the Block class, which combined science, English and social studies by having students study the same theme in all three disciplines for two or three p eriods every day. For example, for a unit on war, students reported on different types of weapons in science, watched the war movie "Glory" for the English requirement and researched various U.S. wars for social studies. "Block teachers always ask 'How does last hour's project relate to what we're doing now?"' said Jason Rogers. "It's neat to see how everything relates." Some math classes also required students to examine concepts in depth and work on projects. Students in instructor Ron Lakatos' Algebra 3-4 class worked on group projects to explain ways to graph equations. "Our group wrote a story about this girl who was bad in math, but got help from her friend," said Erica Warren. "We told how to graph by having her friend showing her how to graph. Graphing was easier to understand when we put explanations into our own words." By making a smaller amount of information more meaningful, many teachers demonstrated the interdependency of skills and concepts in the big picture. -Kelly Knudson ~ Academics Division Pointing to a roller coaster made of pipe cleaners, Shannon Flynn explains her poster to Stacy Ebling in instructor Rod Cameron's AP English class.

Excuses ounds of the Dallas Cowboys demolishing the Washington Redskins blared from the television as Scott Hamling crawled off his couch to go get a soda. On his way to the kitchen he noticed his calculus book in the corner and thought, "I'll do my homework on the next commercial break." But somehow the night slipped away and Hamling never did open his book. Like Hamling, many found some teachers made it easy for them to procrastinate. "My government teacher never checks homework so I never do assignments," said Danny VanBibber. "He always says it'll be due the next day, but it never is ." Even though some teachers checked homework regularly and didn't accept excuses, many students continued to procrastinate. For example, journalism instructor Linda Smoley said she lowered students' grades for each day assignments were late, but some still put off homework. "Mrs. Smoley's English class is my mo st challenging," said Sara Ogden. "I hate writing and always put it off. I keep giving excuses, but sooner or l a ter I end up doing it. Once I stayed up until two in the morning writing a paper that was past due. I got a D."

This touching scene was part of a video about the life of King A rthur created b y Joanna Schomer, Beth Tracy, and Angi Umbdenstock as an AP English project. The only actors appearing in the film were Barbie dolls. "After reading a stroy about King Arthur, we had to pretend he was running for president and d esig n a campaign," said Schomer. "The threeofuswanted to d o something clever and somehow we came up with the Barbie idea. We had so much fun! " More than ever, teachers were assigning homework that went beyond usual textbook work. Many students found such work helped get them interested in lessons taught. "I would have been really bored if we just had to read our story and do a report," Schomer said. "There's no excitement in that. I liked being able to choose something creative to do and then seeing what I could come up with." Others found that enjoyable h omework also helped them understand and remember the material. "In U.S .History we did a project for the presidential elections," said Jeff Marsh. "My group did political cartoons supporting Ross Perot. Even though I wasn't a Perot supporter, the project forced us to learn about the issues of the campaign and how they related to us. When we were done, I knew more about what was going on with the campaign.

While most students threw their books in their locker at the end of the day, some went beyond what was required, often taying up la te to do homework. Juhl was involved in Young Design, delivered papers after school, and spent several hours in knee therapy each week. Yet she pushed herself to do well enough in her classes to earn college scholarships. "I usually d o my homework at night so when I have a lot, I'm up until three," she said. "It's the easiest time for me to work because right after school I can't concentrate. Late at night, I don't have interrup tions." Some students even woke up well before d awn to make sure they could finish their homework. Sonja Smith was involved in cheerleading, gymnastics, and drama, but outstanding school work was still her first priority. "I can't stand not doing my homework, so I'll stay up until 11 p.m. to try and finish it. If I don't, then sometimes I get up at 4:30 in the morning," said Smith. Smith maintained a 4.0 GPA even though she carried eight classes and took a special geometry course at Iowa State University. Alth ough su ch students reaped the rewards of good grades and learning, they knew they sacrificed much that other students wouldn't. "I feel like a social outcast because school takes most of my free time," said Smith. "Instead of being with my friends and family, I'm home doing homework." -Jessie Blunk ook worm.

Her palms grew sweaty and her heart began to race. Like 31 of 100 studen ts polled, Daley tried to relieve her jitters by studying a little each day well ahead of the test. "Cramming makes me nervous," said Daley. "I fear blanking out, so I study by outlining the chapter and going over vocabulary. I spend a little bit of time each day for about a week before the test and then I study an hour the Lgj Academics night before. I'm still nervous, but I know the material." Rikayla Kachulis also worked hard to prepare for tests, developing her own study method. "I study for tests by quizzing myself," said Kachulis. "I read the chap ter and answer the questions. I'm not a good test taker and I've tried different methods of studying. One time I made a tape of vocabulary to listen to, but it didn't help me at all." Other students hated facing the pressure of tests and put off studying as long as possible. Thirtysix of 100 polled said they crammed the night before. "I cram for several hours the night before," saidJamie Hansen. "Sometimes I'm up until 10:30 or later. I put it off because I sometimes forget a bout the test or don't understand the material." However not all students studied as long as Hansen. Of 100 students polled, 55 said they studied for less than an hour. Bill Shipley, for example, often got good grades on tests just by paying attention in class. "I don' t get nervous before a test," said Shipley. " I just answer the questions I know and go back to the others. By then I usually remember the answers to the questions I left blank." -Heather Neumann avin• a ball.

Wouldn't you want help from the gove rnment too?" asked Mindy Workman. "Yes, but we just don't think people should take advantage of the welfare system," returned Laura Sumpter, defending her welfare reform bill. The argument took place in AP Government class, where students studied how a bill becomes a law and wrote and debated their proposed bills as part of "authentic assessment." After studying for three years how to assess students more meaningfully, many teachers began using authentic assessment, a way of evaluating what students could do with their knowledge in real world situations. Authentic assessment was used often in the new block class. The students held a simulation of a city council meeting in which they had to decide how to dispose of the community's waste. Students were assigned roles such as a garbage collector or a city council member and had to do background research about the views each community member would likely have. "I was a city council member," said Jason Rogers. "I didn't know how a city council member acts, so I called a couple of council members," said Rogers. "They told me to keep an open mind and listen to both sides. " But despite the faculty's attempt to assess students in realworld situations, many students continued to prefer more artificial assessments such as tests. "I like multiple choice tests," said Carole Schneider. " All of the possible answers are right there and you can guess." Yet, some students were beginning to appreciate digging more deeply into material. "When I do presentations, I have to do a lot of research," said Rogers. "I get more interested because I discover things I never knew about." -Jennifer Kramer Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. II From the usual truefalse to new assessment, everyone faces ...

In the looking E!las azing lovingly into one another's eyes, Chrissy Clopine and Wendi Hansen strolled hand in hand through Crossroads Mall trying to ignore the dirty looks and rude whispers that surrounded them. As part of a roleplaying project on prejudice in instructor Larry Brown's block class, students learned through first hand experience how homosexuals were treated by society. Many students' points of view changed once they found out what it was actually like. "I used to be very prejudiced against gay people," said Cl opine. "I didn't want to be around gays and I used to make fun of them, but not anymore. When Wendi and I went into stores and people wouldn't wait on us and they'd whisper and stare, I realized how awfulit feels to be different. Now I accept gays for who they are, and I would never treat them like aliens." More often,teachers used role playing techniques to let sh1dents experience life in a way they would never get a chance tootherwise. In instructor Bill Willard's Understanding People class, many students learned what being a teen parent would be like. Students had to carry baby dolls around for a week and budget their money using information they received in packets about finances of typical teenage parents. "At first I just thought about how a baby would affect my future," said Mimi Plummer. "Now I know I never want to be a teenage parent. A baby would make my life ten times harder, especially with all the extra expenses. Ididn'thaveanyspendingmoney, I had a scummy place to live in, and I needed to budget money that I didn't even have to start with." Roleplaying taught students how to appreciate life through a different point of view. -Stephanie Hollins hat a beautiful babY.

"Then I realized I could use the skills I learned from this class to repair things around the house. For example, I can put in a window without hiring someone since I learned how to do it from a house construction project in class. Fixing things on my own can really save money." Even though Jason Gutzmer didn't plan to build his own home, he realized the knowledge he gained in drafting could someday help him save money anyway. "If I have a contractor come build my house, I'll know what to expect," said Gutzmer. "I'll know how to describe to him what I want. If he makes a mistake and I catch him before it's too late, I can save money by not having to pay for the mistake." Although many students took practical arts courses for fun, they discovered there was a use for them in situations outside of school. -Christine Lam ookina for a fix.

Discoveries ater rushed by the Missouri's banks as Environmental s students awkwardly stretched 12-foot poles into the river. A two liter bottle at the end of each pole collected water samples. "We went to the river to see how polluted it was," said Tony Weddle. "My group had to see how organisms survive in different temperatures." Students found going to the river an effective handson experience that reinforced what they learned in class. "If someone had simply told me the contents of the Missouri River, I probably wouldn't remember," said Jennifer Barker, "but since I did the experiment, I know that the phosphate levels were low like they should be. I was surprised because I expected the river to be really polluted. " Hands-on learning also took place back at school. In a sophomore biology class, for example, students used puzzle like pieces ,of paper to understand how amino acids form proteins. "When I read the chapter, I didn't understand the concepts," said Jennifer Collinson, ''but when I tried to put the puzzle pieces together, I suddenly realized that hydrogen and oxygen must be taken away to form proteins." More than ever before, teachers turned to handson experiences to help students better understand the concepts they had read or been told about. -Jennifer Kramer Learning through experience ~ ''O oh, what smells so rotten stinkin' awful?"

Fearing he won't be able to stop in time, he blows the horn furiously, but it's no use. The train crashes through the bus and rips it apart. Paul Konz, a guest speaker on train safety, talked about this situation and others like it to driver's education classes. He described accidents and showed photographs of what was left of cars after trains smashed them to bits. "His pictures were very effective," said Jeff Kalar. "He made me think one of these accidents could happen to me because they really happened to someone else." During the year, 90 guest speakers talked about a variety of topics from CPR and drugs to peer pressure and gang problems. The most memorable speaker was probably artistin-residence Nancy Duncan, who stayed for a week to share her storytelling ablitywith English classes. One of her methods was to have students tell a story. After the class got into groups, they each selected a nursery rhyme from which to create a story and then presented it to the class. "Our group acted out Little Boy Blue," said Jeni Randolf. "In our story, the sheep get angry at Little Boy Blue because he doesn't take care of them. I was a sheep, and I was able to act out the part by imagining this really happened. I learned a lot about acting and I'm interested in it now."

"I did a poll and found that 33 out of 70 students have divorced parents, and 28 of the 33 have stepparents. I wanted to show that it's not just a national problem, but it's important to kids at AL." When the research was completed, some projects went beyond writing. A few students tried making a video, creating a brochure, or even composing music. "For my senior English project, we got to choose whether to write a paper or do something creative," said Beth Tracy. "I decided to write a 12- tone scale on my flute. I used my flute teacher as a source and studied music theories."

"In my algebra class we had to figure out six ways to find a graphing point," said Stephanie Spratt. "I had to find out how to do a specific problem on my own, then make the class understand. When I was done and I saw that everyone understood whatlhad explained, it was kind of neat to think that I taught them how to do the problem." Language arts and history students also found themselves facing their classmates as teachers. "In my English class we had to bring three symbolic items that described our personalities," said Brian Collier. "It was a learning experience because my classmates learned about me and I learned more abou t them. It helped me to be more at ease the next time I had to speak in front of a group of people." Some students felt their classmates occasionally did an even better job conveying information than the teacher. "In one of my classes, my teacher just reads notes for us to copy down," said Jessie Morris. "When teachers give lectures and read from the book or make the class take notes, you sometimes just block it out. But when a student gives a creative report, it makes it easier to absorb the information." Unlike Morris, most students polled said they learned more from their teachers than from peers, so the greatest benefit from student teaching experiences was the in-depth learning the presenters themselves experienced. -Sara Adams halk talk.

"Just a few discussions opened myeyes,andlbecamemoreaware of world situations. After hearing more than one side of the story on issues like the death penalty, I've formed my own opinions."

The class looked on in disbelief as Johnson's tall, lean body flashed by clad only in his skin tight long- johns. "It took me a while to figure out what he was doing," said Carrie Cooper. "When I remembered the attention grabber, all I could do was laugh." For class clown Rhonda Fanning using more than her fair share of guts meant faking heart problems in class. "I have an ongoing story that when I was three I had a heart transplant," said Fanning. "If I get bored, I'll fake a breathing attack to get attention. People console me and askmeabout growingupwith heart problems, while others around me are laughing." Through their willingness to take a risk, class clowns made their classes less boring by filling them with laughter. -Nicole Hansen ixed UP.

"By listening to sounds in the hallways, we got ideas for stories," said Carrie Brookhart. "There was a guy who couldn't open his locker, and he was hitting it and yelling. That gave me a story idea about a little mischievous monster in the boy's locker holding it shut." Games such as the hunt for sounds provided students with excitement not normally found in day today classroom lectures . French students played a game called Dunce of the Day. Three people from the room went up to the chalk board and waited for instructor Gayle Koerber to give a vocabulary word. The first person to write the word correctly sat down and the next person replaced him or her. The game continued all the way around the room until there were only three people left at the board. Thelastpersonleft was the dunce of the day. "Dunce of the Day is a really fun and different way of learning," said Nate Lovstad. "On a test you're able to think back to the game and remember the information." Sara Borman agreed that learning games helped her remember important information. "In Mr. Devault's U.S. History class, if someone gives a wrong answer during a Jeopardy game, I can remember it while taking my test," said Borman. "I am then able to use that to help me think of the correct answer." Through classroom games, students found an enjoyable way to learn. -Heather Binns Egyptians for 20 points please ... ,, ..

When the same poll w s conducted in February, 1 c:.kipped more than once a week. One reason for this may have been lighter penalties imposed on skippers. In the past, skippers received a day of in-school suspension. However, starting Nov. 25, in-house was replaced with half-hour detentions. Another reason may have been that some teachers did not impose any penalties at all. "Once I skipped first hour for a week because I slept in," said Marlene Smith. "My teacher never said anything to me for missing all of those days and I didn't get into any trouble at all. I've never had a single detention, and I skip all the ti1ne." Finally, many said skipping was possible because it was so easy to leave the building without being caught. "There have been times when I've gone out to lunch, walked right past Tex, and wasn't even questioned about what I was doing," said Amy Thatcher.

But student government members Mary Ryan, Sarah Weber and Rhonda Fanning were hard at work, slowly piecing together pictures of clocks to decorate the Homecoming dance. "Making decorations gets boring, so we turned it into a social thing," said Ryan. "It helped because if you have friends there, they'll make it fun." National Honor Society members made induction March 25 more entertaining while waiting backstage. "We were waiting to escort the inductees onstage and Kregg Clemens ran and jumped off the stairs and touched the ceiling," said Sam Johnson. "I ran and jumped too, but I had on hard-soled shoes. When I landed, I made tons of noise and the inductees all started laughing." While student government or NHS members tried to make time spent on their activities fun, other organization members had interesting adventures by accident. For Odyssey of the Mind members, preparing for the regional and state tournaments offered surprises. "We had to build a crank-powered car," said Lane Knauss. "Every time Ru vane Kurland would walk by the car, I swear he would break something. One time we told him not to sit in it. He jumped in anyway and broke the whole propulsion system!" Not all mishaps could be easily repaired, as AL Insider staffers discovered when they filmed show #13 at the Henry Doorly Zoo. "Right after we got there, someone set the camera on the tripod by a little stream," said Deann Klever. "I looked over and saw the camera falling over into the water! It hit the rocks and part of the camera fell into a grate. Some people tried to fish that little piece out. Ryan Heuwinkel' s shirt was totally wet. Mrs. Grandick told the zoo authorities, but we never got the piece back."

"It was embarrassing dancing at the mall because people from school were there to watch," said Mollee VanNordstrand. "I was glad that some of the other members were there to do it with me." The girls were then told to do kicks on the viaduct on North Broadway, beg for cookies at Hy-Vee, and go on a scavenger hunt. "I've never been initiated before," said Shannon Benna. "Everyone says how scary it is to be a new person and get initiated, but I think initiation is the best part of the organization because it draws everyone closer together. "Before initiation I really didn't feel like part of the group, but afterwards I felt a bond between myself and the other members." '' C ongratulations! You made it!"

They finally ended up at McClary's house for breakfast. "They gave us a menu filled with about 20 numbers," said Shannon Black. "Each number represented a different food, utensil, or drink. We picked three numbers in three turns. One time I ended up with jelly, a knife, and water. I thought that was the funnest part."

As she w atched them wrap the toys from student government's toy drive, she thought of how many children would be made happy Christmas morning. "It was a great feeling for me," said Clifton. "I love helping people, and the toy drive made me feel important." Every second hour class was responsible for the gifts of a specific boy or girl. A class representative was responsible for purchasing the presents for the child with the money collected from the class. "Our class chose action figures and a few board games for our boy," said Skylar Hunt. "Wethoughtnewtoyswouldmake the children feel more important, but some classmates donated some good used toys." Although the toy drive was a success, Clifton said it could have been better if it had been made even more personal. "All we knew about our child was their sex and their age," she said. "If we had gotten to know the kids better, more people would have felt the urge to give." Robin Shepard watched with pleased fascination as a dozen 9 and 10-year old Bloomer students ran haphazardly around the classroom looking for the object that she had called out in German. Nine German students split into groups and went to Bloomer to participate in International Day, when they gave youngsters a taste of the language. "We had a week to prepare for the day, and in that time we had to make a teaching schedule for the kids, plus get all the su pplies ready," said Shepard . "We had first and second grades in the morning, and fourth through fifth in the afternoon. I liked the older kids better because they understood better, so they were more fun." Landon Knauss had another opinion. "I enjoyed being with the younger kids, even though when you first walk in they look at you like you're stupid," said Knauss. "The older kids are vicious because they've reached the cocky age, but with the younger kids, once we started playing games and passing out candy, they were a blast to be with." -Maria Shriver As sweat pours down their faces, Sarah Weber and Shauna Hale plant flowers in the main courtyard May 27.

Amidst the moans and whimpers, the music started and the girls wearily lifted their flags and began to practice their routine. Along with Saturday practices, the winter guard held practices in the mornings and on Tuesday and Thursday nights to prepare for contests. "We practiced almost 30 hours a month for two or three months before our first competition," said Danielle Norgard. "It paid off when we got a Division 1 rating at State and we got Best in Class and Best Choreography at the Marching Auxiliaries of America competition. We were really happy because we met the goals we set at the beginning of the season." Though their dedication paid off, members agreed it was sometimes hard to keep a positive attitude.

They had only one mission, to win first place at the upcoming UNO Jazz Festival. "We really wanted to be good so we could beat the people we were up against," said Justin Wood. "We kind of have a rivalry with some of the other jazz bands." Being good enough to win the contest took many hours of extra effort. Jazz band members practiced every Tuesday night and often came to school early to practice an extra hour. "We have a professional come in Tuesday nights to help us play the songs with the right style," said Wood. "We perform three songs for contest, and it takes us about a week to learn each song. I practice at least an hour every night because I'm a soloist. I guess I'm majorly self-motivated."

"We were late as usual meeting our deadline," said Angeroth. "Then the computer malfunctioned and couldn't print the type we needed, so we ended up cutting up our nameplates from past issues and gluing the letters together." Although Angeroth and the other Echoes editors met everyday fourth and fifth hours, they still spent an average of 30 hours extra time on the newspaper each month. Yet the editors said it was well worth their effort. "Designing for the paper cuts into my time to be with the my parents and girlfriend," said Angeroth, "but it is one of the biggest learning experiences of my life." For feature editor Gina Malloy, working late nights and after-school was most rewarding on the day the Echoes returned from the printer. "It's very satisfying to see my story when the paper comes out," said Malloy. "It's exciting when my friends and others say, 'I read your story and I liked it."' Echoes staffers knew their hard work paid off when they won a National Pacemaker Award for the 1991-92 issues given to only nine schools in the nation by the National Scholastic Press Association.

After school I bought decorations for the car rally and grabbed a bite to eat. Then I made sure everything was set up at the stadium so we could perform. After the game, I went to the yearbook signing party. When I got home I was exhausted!" With the early mornings and long days, porn pon members had only one regret. "The one regret I have," said Scott, "is not being able to go to a home game just to watch the game without having to set up music or deal with a sound system." -Nicole Hansen F OCUS PLEASE!

"After a long day of attending sessions, we planned to go out, but there was a big football game in town and all the restaurants were packed, so we were trapped in the hotel. "As an unusual way to get to know the other people at the convention, we gave them flowers and told them we were from Iowa. Some guys sat down and talked to us because they had never met anyone from Iowa before." Besides meeting new people, staffers listened to an editorialist who won the Pulitzer prize for her series on battered women, and Bob Greene, a nationally known columnist.

The gates opened and two knights, one dressed in red and the other in red and yellow, came charging toward each other on horses. Armed with swords and shields, they tried to knock each other to the ground. With one final stroke of his sword, the red and yellow knight succeeded, and the red knight stood helpless in the arena. All of a sudden, a knight in black and white came charging and continued the battle. After 10 minutes, the red and yellow knight was finally killed. This is what concert choir students witnessed while attending Medieval Times in Chicago. "The building Medieval Times was held in looked like a castle," said Emilee Applegate.

During the yearbook staff's annual get acquainted party at Pizza King, staffers played The Never Game. Participants sat on chairs in a circle and the person in the middle said something he or she had never done. Those who had done it got up and ran around to look for an empty seat. The person who couldn't find a seat was the next person to be in the middle. "When one of the guys got up and said he had never worn a bra before, I got up too because I didn't know what was going on," said Brian Kruse. "I ended up stuck in the middle." Amidst the chaos, the staffers grew closer. "I learned so much about the people I was going to be working with," new staffer Jennifer Kramer said. "It was fun getting to know their personalities and whether they were reserved or outgoing." "G eneric Valentine #16," read a card Mindy Romans Teceived from Landon Knauss.

"A week before the party Mrs. Grandi ck gave us all paper bags and told us to decorate them like we did back in grade school ,"' said Ben Chase. "When we had our party, we hung them around the room and went around dropping Valentines and candy into each one." The Insider staff decided to have a traditional Valentine's party that took them back to their elementary years because plans for a Christmas party fell through. "We felt like we were all back in sixth grade," said Romans. "It was totally a blast from the past. It was different from any other party and it was that fun that some of us were able to do this our senior year." -Heather Binns fJPEN WIDE T'S MINE!

Work, hardly! We practically had to rewrite the whole story." Wright grabbed Johnson by the arm and made him listen while she re-interviewed his sources. They worked together for two hours to complete the story that Friday night. "I didn't really want to stay and help him," she said, ''but that was my responsibility as an editor.

Little Closer Some club members have little in common, but working together outside of class creates strong bonds / magine 50 rowdy teenagers _throwing pizza and ice at each other, bangmg on the windows, and playing frisbee with plates. This wasn't a cafeteria food fight or a wild party. This was the marching band's traditional trip to Godfather's after home football games. "When we were freshmen, the seniors always went to Godfather's after the football games," said Brian Butts. "So we decided to keep up the tradition. We get pretty wild there, but we all have a good tirne." Marching band members found that spending many hours together helped them become closer. "We have to sit together at football and basketball games for pep band and we have class together, " said Carrie Brookhart. "So we get to be really good friends." The musicians' closeness was essential for competitions. "The marching band is a team, so we have to be close just like the basketball or wrestling teams," said Angel Walker. "Some of us don't have a lot in common outside of band, but we all work together because we all want to win at competition." After winning her third round at the Papillion speech and debate tournament, Jessie Morris walked out of the room and nervously waited for the results of the tournament. When the top three winners were announced, she tried to hide her disappointment when it was her best friend instead of her who received the first place trophy. "I won all of my rounds so I was really hoping. to win first place," Morris said. "When I found out I got seventh instead of first, I tried to act happy for my friend, but everyone could see my disappointment because they came up to me and said it didn' t matter how I placed as long as I did my best. That made me feel a lot better." Such support drew many speech and debate members closer together. "Tournaments are really stressful," said Jenifer Steger, "and when you' re stressed, you let another side of your personality show. People in speech and debate are there to see that side of my personality, s I don't have to put up an act for them because they know me for who I am. I've become really good friends with some of those people and I'll probably be close with them for the rest of my life." -Kim Gift SAYING GOODBYE FALA LA Shedding tears after porn pon's a~t dance, Melissa Winn hugs Angie Johnson while Mollee VanNordstrand watches.

Insider retreat had only a few hours left, and a discouraged Dan Deroos fervently hoped that the fish would start biting. Along with six others, he had taken a late night fishing trip to make the retreat even more memorable. "It was really neat," Deroos said. "The weather was cooling down, but the water was still warm, so there was all this steam rolling off the lake. It was eerie." The group didn't catch anything, bu~ those quiet moments helped build friendships between the new staffers. In fact, building relationships was a main accomplishment of the retreat. "We had a tent pitching contest and hide and go seek in the forest, but I had a lot of fun playing this game of trust," Carrie Spann said. "All of us stood in a line and threw people up in the air and over. It took a lot of trust because if we didn't catch each other, we'd fall." Additional activities consisted of a workshop teaching staffers how to use video cameras and set up interviews. People also climbed trees and enjoyed the classic campfire ghost story. Whether laughing or fishing together under the glow of a full moon, Insider staffers found that getting to know each other was fun. iillee and cki 's ·aw er As the warm glow of the campfire reflected in the eyes of the freshman cheerleaders, they huddled close together and whisp'ered in each others' ears. Meggan Jensen leaned over and whispered to Arny Schaben, "You're always funny and cheerful, and you bring a bright side to the cheerleading squad." As tears formed in her eyes, Schaben turned to the girl next to her and continued the chain. This game was one of the many activities designed to bring cheerleaders closer together atthe NCA camp at Lake Okoboji. "After campfire games, the whole freshman squad was a lot closer," said Kate Gronstal. "It's like w e're sisters and the feeling is really neat." With the entire camp geared toward bringing the girls closer, cheerleaders found it hard not to become friends. "We cheered together, talked together, and even bunked together," said Dana Drennen. "We were always together!" The camp experience even helped many girls overcome their shyness. "I can talk to people better than I ever used to be able to,'' said Melanee Day. "I used to be really shy, and I guess I still am a little, but I'm definitely over the worst of it." -Maria Shriver To help Jen Stoner finish her clown mak eup, Gere Nelson puts lipstick Stoner's cheeks.

With 230 community members attending the concert, titled Mardi Gras, the band earned $1000. "The band dinner concert was more fun than selling things because we got to decorate the gym and windows," said Jim Wood. "Plus we got to show off the band as we made money." Although the concert was profitable, it required a larger investment of time and money than past fundraisers. Band members rented tuxes, tables, dishes, and lighting and sound equipment. Concert band, both jazz bands, and a guest band supplied the music. The only thing band members didn' t do was prepare the three-course meal catered by Hy-Vee, which included crabmea t salad and tenderloin steak. -Jacki Hayes As Diane Kalar stood in the doorway of the gym and looked at the bright multicolored streamers that draped to the center and surrounded a huge star pinata, a feeling of accomplislunent came over her. But by the middle of the Christmas dance, Kalar and other foreign exchange members could feel nothing but disappointment. "I felt like all our work was wasted," said Heather Binns. "No one came to see how pretty the dance turned out." Sponsors Linda Patton and Gail Koerber came up with the theme "Fiesta" even though it wasn't traditional. "At first we were skeptical," said Jenifer Steger. "But as we worked with the theme more, we found we could use flowers and sombreros for a really pretty effect. Yet students seemed to boycott a non traditional Christmas theme."

Fifteen minutes and four sheets of wrapping pa per later, the troll was transformed into a blob of red paper with a white bow on top.

"W·e wereshocked when that guy came up and asked us to wrap this huge troll," Applegate said. "It was so ironic because earlier he walked by and Dan said, 'Holy cow, how would you like to wrap that sucker?' Then, an hour later, he came back carting that troll around in a stroller and asked us to wrap it! "But the worst part was, he bought the troll for his daughter's birthday and she was standing right next to him, and he still made us go through all that trouble!" Despite their struggle to wrap oddshaped gifts, most students agreed the fundraiser was worth their effort.

"Hi, I'm from DECA," Hansen said, "and we're raising money to help send five people to Orlando for Nationals at the end of Apirl. Would you like to donate an egg?" With a puzzled expression, the stranger listened as Hansen explained the fate of the egg. To ease the expenses of DECA National qualifiers, DECA members went around town borrowing eggs from one house and selling them at the next. "Most of the time, people didn't buy the egg, they just gave us donations" said Hansen. "But the people who did buy eggs gave us between 25 cents and $10 for each egg. Our group raised over $100 by ourselves, and altogether the club made over $600 in just one night!" Though selling eggs seemed out of the ordinary, DECA members agreed it was a quick and successful method of raising money. -Kim Gift RAPPIN' PAPER SuGAR BABIES Tired of wrapping presents, Diane Withsticky hands,EnvironmentalClub Kalar and Jenny Petersen finish the members Carrie Funkhauser, Rhonda last packages at Mall of the Bluffs.

Accused of beating a woman, Morris tried to convince the judge that she hadn't done anything on purpose. At mock trial district competition, Morris played the role of Terri Smith, a racist accused of committing a hate crime against an Afro-American. "I was trying really hard to get the judge to believe me," said Morris. "I looked at the victim when I spoke to make it seem like I was really apologetic." Just as Morris tried to prove her innocence, victim Jenny Scott tried equally hard to make Morris look guilty. "My character was jumped in the commons area of her college and accused Morris of the beating because of the trouble she'd had with her in the past," said Scott. "I tried to show the judge that I was emotionally scarred and bruised." Through such convincing performances, the seven-member mock trial team won a first place at district competition and advanced to State. -Sara Adams F1NETUNED Nervously, Keri McKeeman practices before solo and small ensemble competitionatTeeJay.

Chase and four other students went to Epcott while attending DECA Nationals. "When I won at State, I was so excited," said Chase, the only junior from AL to go to Nationals after placing first at State. "I couldn't believe I won when they announced my name." At Nationals, Chase had to play the role of an editor explaining to a new employee the importance of his store's inhouse publication. Chase was judged on attitude, hand gestures, and ability to make his character convincing. Ten thousand people attended the nationwide competition held in the Orlando Convention Center. Chase said the crowd didn't make him nervous. "I met people from Texas, California, and even Guam," said Chase. "I think that was the neatest part of the whole trip." Although Chase did not make it to finals, he said he would never forget his experience in Orlando. -Heather Neumann USIC MADNESS With resounding voices, Jim Killion, Jason Rogers, Grant Muehlig, and Chris King perform a baritone feature in "Morning Trumpet" at the spring choir concert May 27.

For 10 students, odyssey came to mean a journey through the mind with destinations being the creative thoughts and solutions to problems encountered along the way. One day at regional Odyssey of the Mind competition, five team members anxiously waited their turn to run to a long table cluttered with odd objects from paper clips to tennis balls. First, Shannan Brooks dashed across the room to the table, grabbed a piece of string, and told the judge it could be used as dental floss. She then ran back to her teammates on the other side of the room, and Joel Grondek took off. "I ran up to the table and chose a piece of string and a ball with holes through it," said Grondek. "I put them together and said it could be a necklace." The five members of the team took turns, racing to the table about 20 times each in a three-minute period, with only seconds between turns to figure out their next answer. In this relay for creative thinkers, called spontaneous competition, the team won first place. -Sara Adams and Stephanie Hollins MARCH 1,2,3 ...

"I wasn't expecting to do that well," said Danburg. "During the race, I felt tired; I didn't feel good at all. But when I heard my time, I was excited; we were all jumping up and down." Besides going under one minute in the 100 backstroke, Danburg held the school and pool records in the 200 freestyle, 500 freestyle, 200 IM and 100 backstroke. Athletes often stole the show w ith their acheivements. For the second time in three years, the volleyball team went to State. Even though the girls lost 1-3 to secondranked Knoxville, they won the first game an AL team has ever won at State. At Metro, four freshman runners placed fourth in the 4x800 relay, earning them an interview on Channel 7 and the name the "Fab Four." "When we got interviewed, it felt like we were stars, like we were in the Olympics," said Jessie Drake. "They asked what it felt like to be freshmen competing with upperclassmen; we said it felt really good and that we thought we'd do well when we were upperclassmen. Everyone was really su p portive and excited." The "Fab Fou r" weren't the only freshmen who stole the show. An eighth place finish at Districts allowed cross country runner Jason Steger to advance to State competition Oct. 31. He was the only Lynx runner to make State. Whether breaking record s, participating in state tournaments or receiving special attention, AL athletes stole the show again and again. -Kelly Knudson ~ Sports Division Llr-~~w~ In preparation for the state track meet, Tracy Thomas goes over the hurdles.

Feilen was moved to varsity because Coach Dave Brown was impressed with her talent form the first time he saw her play. "I was pleased watching her scri1runage during open gym in the fall," said Brown. "She looked confident with her passing and shooting, and I was looking for that in my girls this year."

Lr:tJ Sports • Cuts -n- bruises After breaking his hand in practice, second place state finalist D.J. Walton found himself doing a lot more watching and wishing than wrestling. While Walton was injured, he passed the time away lifting weights to stay in shape and encouraging others to do their best. "It happened at the wrong time," said Walton. "It was my senior year and I wanted it to be my best. When I came back, I babied my hand more than I should have. Instead I should have decided if I wanted to wrestle and feel the pain or just not wrestle. I think I would have placed first at State if it weren't for the injury." Walton was nottheonly wrestler to sit out with injuries. The team battled seven injuries and illnesses of key people throughout the season. With a torn ligament in his left knee, Bill Waugh sat out for two weeks. "It hurt me more to sit out and watch than to wrestle and lose," said Waugh. "At least you know you tried instead of feeling like you didn't participate at all." Sickness also plagued wrestlers. Kevin Adkins, who went to State in '92, sat out for five weeks after his appendix ruptured. "I couldn't do anything," said Adkins. "I got so out of shape when everyone else in my weight class got more in shape." Although many names made the injured list, the team still finished the season with a 9-1 record. • Special guy Lying helplessly on the mat pinned under Coach Clark Allen, Kevin Birusingh struggled to regain the advantage. "I wrestled with Coach Allen the whole year just for the experience," said Birusingh. "Even though he beat the crap outta me, he really helped me a lot." Getting into the practices was only one reason Allen won the Southwest Iowa Coach of the Year award. Allen was respected by many of the wrestlers. "Coach Allen taught me everything I know about wrestling," said Richard Anderson. "I have a lot of respect for him and he's been here for me throughout my , whole wrestling career."

The team's attitudes changed when Batten and assistant coach Don Schwartz hopped on the bus carrying the first place trophy. "Hey, listen up, everybody," said Schwartz. "Go thank Treynor for running your victory lap for you. You won!" "Everybody was really upset because we thought we lost by just a couple Qf pionts," said Gina Malloy, ''but when the coach said that coming in first in the 4x400 relay, which was the last race, gave us enough points to win the meet, we went ecstatic, hugging and congratulating each other."

Coach Batten told me I should work over the winter to get used to the hurdles so I practiced twice a week with foam hurdles." To become the only Lady Lynx to make it to State, Thomas had to overcome bronchitis and shin splints as well as fear. "At the beginning of the season we had to run streets, which caused my shin splints," she said. Before every race I iced them until they were numb, and after running, I iced them again." After the first meet, Thomas came down with bronchitis. "It was frustrating knowing I had worked so hard and State was within my reach, " she said, "but I couldn't go after it because I couldn't practice for a month. All I could do was ride the bike to keep the strength in my legs." Nevertheless, after three weeks of grueling workouts to make up for the time lost, Thomas placed first at Districts and was fourteenth at State. -Nicole Hansen + AIRBORNE.

Hughes' s loss of concentration on the remaining holes cost her a ticket to State. "I wanted to go to State really badly," she said, "especially this year because the team has improved so much." Hughes said the third and fourth seed averaged about 110 last year, while the leader scored in the 90' s, but the team improved by 15 strokes this season. Improvement was obvious as the team amassed a 6-1 record and first places in the city tournament and Sectionals. -Christine Lam Matt Birdsong, Bri an Reisz, Donny Kramer, Danny Van Bibber, John Hargrave, John Akers. + PAR-FECTIONISTS.

But the girls' attitude changed when officials began to give out the annual Metro awards before the matches started. To the girls' surprise, a new award was given to seniors or returning Metro players with a G.P.A. of a 3.5 or better. The five out of six Lady Lynx players who received the award included seniors Mindy Stone, Jenny Scott, Amy Thatcher, and Beth Linberg, and sophomore Shaimon Brooks. Although the sixth girl, Jessie Morris, had a 4.0, she was not a returning Metro player so she wasn't eligble for the award. AL was the only team to have five players receive the academic award. "We didn't play as well as the other Metro teams, but at least we were the smartest," said Scott. -Amy Springer BOYS' AND GIRLS' TENNIS.

The team was just about to go into a tie breaking shoot-out. "The cheer is our tradition," said Amy Tilley. "There is a lot of pressure during a shoot out, and it just helps us all get our minds off being nervous." The players took their positions, hoping for victory in the first game against Bellevue West. ''We were all scared," said Carrie Spann. "A shoot out is nerveracking. Everyone gets all quiet on the sideline and prays." After two out of three Lynx made their shot, Trisha Gibler stepped up to shoot for the winning goal. She gave the signal, shot, and missed, but the Bellevue West goalie got penalized for moving too soon, giving Giibler another chance. "Fate had given me a second try," said Gibler. "I had no doubt that I'd make it then." After the ball dropped into the net, the Lynx rushed onto the field screaming with pride. VARSITY GIRLS' SOCCER.

Now, with one broken rib, she pulled herself off the mat and began to fight back. "Just thinking of letting my dad down made me mad," Blaney said. "I came back at her kicking and punching.

"I had never broken a board in front of people before," said Bass, who had been in Tae-Kwondo since he was 12. "I was afraid that everyone would laugh when I tried it." "It felt like I had no stomach," he said. "It was hard to breathe, and my adrenaline was rushing." Bass could take three or four tries to break the board in order to qualify for the next belt level. "I broke the board on the first try," Bass said. "I had good technique and made a clean break."

Rounding the corner, she saw neon signs lining the walls of an attractive deli, one of the many features of the brand new Super Saver store that opened April 28. "I had heard Super Saver was just enormous," said Funkhauser. "But it didn't look that big when I first walked in, because the store is not very deep. Then I rounded the corner to the produce and deli aisle. I could not believe it. There was a huge salad bar and tons of deli and bakery stuff. They even had those granola and nuts in bulk that you can dispense yourself. It was ultra cool; I will definitely go back." Shopppers weren't the only ones excited by the new grocery store. Super Saver, the biggest grocery store in southwest Iowa, provided more than 275 jobs. Besides Super Saver, there were many other additions to Council Bluffs. Near Lake Manawa, a strip center containing a WalMart, Sam's Wholesale Club and Menard's Hardware Store was scheduled to open in October 1993. "A lot of people run over to Omaha to get something," said Dan Koenig, executive vice president of the Chamber of Commerce. "What this will do is keep more consumer dollars in Council Bluffs." Another change involved the addition of a 65,000 square foot cancer treatment center to Jennie Edmundson Hospital. According to Mary Ann Bates, director of marketing and public relations, the center will combine all of the hospital's cancer services in one place, as well as social services, physician's offices and American Cancer Society offices. The center, scheduled to open midsummer, offered the only comprehensive cancer treatment in southwest Iowa. From grocery stores and shopping centers to a hospital expansion, coming attractions dotted the community. -Kelly Knudson ~ Community Division p~~ Smart shoppers, Mindy and Benjie Romans choose their favorite doughnuts at the Super Saver bakery.

Love, Mom & Dad ~ Senior Messages To our special and wonderful son Jon, I clearly remember the day you were !-!! ~·, born and how delighted Matt (and, yes, even Amy) was. You were always a happy child and I especially recall your "happy dance". No matter what you did, you did your best. You loved your friends and your big, beautiful, dark eyes dazzled many a cute little girl. All of your interests--football, track, swimming, your hat collection, your model home, even your bottle collection-- were part of the passion in you. And you never lost sight of the importance of fun and humor in life. Even though you have the messiest room I've ever seen, you consoled me by placing your dirty clothes in a heart shape on the floor. I love you deeply and dearly and I am so proud to be your mother. I know you will continue to do well and enjoy life. Stay happy and continue to look for the humor in life--it's everywhere. You are a beautiful person. Someday your own children will do their "happy dance" for you and you'll be as elated as I was because nothing is more of a treasure than a happy, healthy child.

After hours of hoeing and weeding, they were finally planting more than 250 flowers in the main courtyard. POTIY TIM E. Trying not to make any noise, Nate Lovstad carries a toilet into Shannan Brooks's yard May 29. Lovstad and four friends found the toilet and left it in Brooks's yar d at 3 a.m. as a prank. Although students were well behaved at school, some still found time for end of the year fun. (Photo b y Rhonda Fanning) The flowers, along with four bushes and two locust trees planted to replace a tree cut down by vandals two years ago, were a gift to the school from the Class of 1993. Seniors also buried a time capsule in the flowerbed to be opened in 50 years. It contained magazines, school newspapers, and other mementos like a troll doll, pop cans, and a graduation program. E~~: It seemed that the days of celebrating the year's end by lighting firecrackers or letting greased pigs run through the halls were over. In fact, the only greased pigs to be found were the sausages served at the first ever senior breakfast May 28. The reason students were so well behaved may have been that the last week of school seemed like any other. After planning to go for half days the last week, underclassmen were told they would have to go until 3:05 through June 4 to comply with attendance laws. Grudgingly, they dragged themselves to class, bundled in sweatshirts that would protect them from the cold April-like weather. By planting flowers instead of stink bombs and spending longer hours in the classroom, students wrapped up the year and for the first time actually made a scene by not making a scene. -Karen Barker and Kelly Knudson losing Ow!

Beads of perspiration trickled down hundreds of faces, lines of parents and students extended from the teachers' lounge to the commons area and from the top of the ramp to the attendance office; Principal Jim Lake ran around frantically offering water to those who were about to wilt. That was the scene at registration Aug. 17-18 when the temperature reached 90 degrees. I had to wait one and a half to two hours to get my picture taken," said Brandon Reed. "There should have been fans before we got our pictures taken because people were dripping with sweat." Once students reached the comfort of the air conditioned attendance office, many were shocked when they saw that their schedules didn't have the classes they had signed up for, but three or four study halls instead. They began to wonder,'' Now what are we getting into?" According to guidance counselor Kathy Howsare, the combination of the new block schedule with traditional 45-minute classes required that more than 40 percent of students have their schedules changed at registration and during the first week of school. "My schedule was screwed up; they didn't even put me in half the classes I wanted," said Katie Mescher, who waited an hour to get her schedule changed. "I had five study halls a day." Once they had their schedules corrected, students had a hard time adjusting to the every other day blocks. In a poll of 233 students conducted in mid November, only 88 felt they were benefitting from block classes. "I have chemistry and math in a block," said Jeni Randolph. "If I have math on a Friday and the next time on a Tuesday, I forget how to do the assignment. I get confused. The teachers ... continued on page 5 2 • Opening , . ....

In addition to the hassle of registration and the adjustment to the new schedule, students faced a much more crowded campus, with a 12.5 percent increase in enrollment. On the first day of school, the parking lot was exceptionally crowded. "The parking lot was a mess," said Joe Demory. "Lots of underclassmen didn't know what they were doing. I came early to get a good spot and I still ended up parking far away." Members of three organizations also had cause to wonder, "Now what are we getting into?" as they made big plans for the year and struggled to carry them out. The marching band was honored with an invitation to perform in the Master Card Thanksgiving Day Parade Nov. 23-28 in Philadelphia, but to make the trip, the group had to raise $32,000 and practice two hours every morning for three months. As national qualifiers, the 13-member porn pon squad competed in the 1994 National Dance Team Championships at Sea World in Orlando Feb. 4-8. To make it to Florida, the squad raised money by selling raffle tickets for a painting and candy grams. They also practiced 45 hours. The newspaper staff was excited about the Daily Nonpareil distributing the Echoes in the community, but when the time came for editors to do their own color separations, scan color pictures, and deal with community reactions to controversy, they realized the pressure of producing a paper read by the community was much greater than they had imagined. With the beginning of the year off to a challenging start, many students began thinking, "Now what are we getting into?" -Heather Binns and Jennifer Kramer Opening • 5 Surprised that he received the honorof Christmas dance king, Kevin Adkins looks at queen Jeni Bintz in amazement as Peggy Murray (1993 Christmas queen) crowns him.

Whether students hunted for Halloween costumes and went trick-or-treating, partied after graduation or a festive dance, or drove to the Old Market to hang out, they celebrated well Into the Night. The latest fads to hit the scene Right Now included chasing after bargains on clothes recycled from past decades or getting up enough nerve to pierce and tattoo some unusual body parts. In many ways, students had to learn to cooperate with each other as crowded halls, classrooms, and parking lots forced them together. Declining school spirit called for a solution that some students were ready to provide, and with membership in a youth group, many students were able to Get a Little Closer. More than a few students needed energy and courage to face problems like drug abuse, chronic diseases, and pregnancy. Whatever their difficulty, students found themselves Getting Through It. Even reading a newspaper or watching T.V. seemed to require more energy and thought than ever before as the community and the nation struggled to reduce violence, provide health care for everyone, clean up after the torrential summer rains of 1993, and navigate the confusion of Whitewater. These and many other events made students ask, "What in the World?" Students proved through their activities, their growing cooperation with each other, their courage, and their world awareness that they had a ton of Get Up and Go. -Jennifer Kramer Get Up and Go • 7 Gettin' high Sitting on Chris King's shoulders, Amber Duncan carries a "legalize pot" sign as part of her Hippie Day costume.

Lack of school spirit, cancellations, and fighting cause many students serious ... Dozens of red, blue and white streamers hung from the ceiling, "Good Luck, football team" posters covered the walls and lockers, and messages like "Seniors Rock" decorated the floor. As students walked through the tration to put an end to Friday's activities. "I was so disappointed that the picnic was cancelled," said Angie Johnson. "Student government put in a lot of time preparing for it. A lot of students were mad at us halls on Oct. 14, spirit abow1ded. But by noon that day, people had torn down every scrap of paper in the freshman, sophomore, and junior halls. "For three hours Wednesday night, 11 juniors decorated our hall," said Amber Pickenpaugh. "We each put in $5 or $6 to decorate. All that we did was gone. I was '7 saw one fight where three guys started wrestling. The crowd was packed so tight that a teacher because it got cancelled. What they don't realize is everybody had to sacrifice something because a couple of people acted immaturely." The last straw came when students found out the car rally was also cancelled because the police escort was denied. Students got together and planned their own illegal car rally to couldn't get in." Ben Nourse mad that others didn't appreciate and respect what we had done. No one needed to do that" Student government sponsored the new hall decorating contest to get more students involved with the week. They had also planned the second annual Homecoming picnic, which was later cancelled due to three fights at the Hippie Day sit-in. "I saw one fight where three guys started wrestling. The crowd was packed so tight around them that a teacher couldn't get in," Ben Nourse said. "They put way too many kids in the gym and not enough teachers." Behavior at the sit-in prompted the adminisshow support for the team. "We met in the back mall parking lot," said Eric Potter, "because they wouldn't let us have the car rally from school. We decorated our cars in AL colors, then drove to C.B. Stadium." The highlight of the week was the annual Homecoming dance. More than 460 tickets were sold, raising over $2,000. "The D.J. stage looked cool," said Gina DiCenzo. "He played fun songs that you could dance to. I had a fun time with my friends." Although Homecoming was a disappointment to many, it proved to be a memorable experience. -Heather Binns and Nicole Hansen To make the coronation stage more decorative, Nicole Hansen and Bridget Tay lo blow up 75 balloons before the Homecoming dance Oct 16.

Hopping out of his truck, Eric Gift began to unload "For Sale" signs, pumpkin bags, and a scarecrow dressed in a warm up suit and Air Nikes. Checking over his shoulder, Gift began to arrange the items in Heather Swain's yard. "A few of my friends and I were trying to think of something to do for Halloween, so we gathered up some stuff from "The show was neat because everything was real," Duncan said. "A woman with 21 body parts pierced put a needle through her tongue, a man ate crickets and worms, and two men raced to see who could sniff up pieces of string the fastest. Once they sniffed them up, they opened their mouths and took the strings out of their throats." people's yards," said Gift. "We ended up in Heather's neighborhood and put the stuff in her yard. While we were unloading it, her neighbor came outside with a baseball bat so we took off. When we drove by the next day, we noticed that her family had arranged the signs in her yard." '~ woman with 21 body parts pierced put a needle through her tongue; a man ate crl.ckets ... " One student chose to stay with old fashioned trick or treating but experienced it in a new location. On Halloween Eric Royalty waited patiently in line at the gate of Godfather pizza tycoon Willie Thiesens' s Regency mansion for a special treat. Amber Duncan "I have some friends who live in Regency and we decided to go trick or treating a t the mansion," said Royalty. "Thiesen was handing candy out from his limo. I stepped up to it, and he put a five pound Hershey candy bar in my arms. Altogether, my friends and I got 12 bars." Instead of en tertaining themselves as Gift and his friends did, some students opted to pay for their entertainment. Amber Duncan found herself seated comfortably in the basement of the Firehouse Dinner Theater. Her eyes were glued to the center of the stage, and her jaw dropped in amazement as she watched Mike Strange's House of Freaks.

In search of a potion for everlasting love, Kelli Combs's eyes scanned dozens of witchcraft books crowding the dusty shelves at Ye Old Magic Shop in the Old Market, . "I love to go in there and look for new potions," said Combs. "I find the magical rocks fascinating. I just like to go in and look around at all the interesting things." Ye Old Magic Shop was just one of many attractions that caused teens to walk the streets of the Old Market weekend after weekend. According to Renae Andrews, some of the most shopped stores in the Old Market included Retro Cycle, a thrift store with grunge clothing; Wild Things, a shop full of knicknacks; and City Limits, a gift shop with a wide selection of cards. "I go to the Old Market to shop," said Andrews. "There are many interesting shops, and the prices are lower than in Council Bluffs. " Students found the people who frequented the market as interesting as the shops themselves. "I go to the Old Market because people there aren't afraid to be themselves," said Autumn Horton. "I've seen people walking around with green hair and their nose, bellybutton, and nipples pierced, and they don't care who sees them." Sometimes the strangeness was carried too far, causing mixed feelings. Chris Freed remembered an incident that made him question going back to the market.. "I was walking down the street when a guy came up to me and started screaming, 'You're gonna burn in hell.' He tried to convince me that he was Sa tan," said Freed. "It shook me up a bit, but I went back, and I hardly ever see the guy." Students looking for a place to eat good food, shop for bargains on clothes, and meet new and interesting people found the Old Market a hot spot. -Sara Adams Tired of watching Cyra Cramm slowly cut her pizza, G ina Dicenzo g rabs Cramm's fork and playfully tries to feed her.

Walking through the gift wrapped doors, Angie Fender looked around in amazement at the green, red, silver, gold, and white streamers and the Christmas trees covered with lights that filled the fieldhouse with holiday spirit. "I thought the decorations were awesome," said Fender. Since it was my first dance, I thought it was fun. The D.J played good music that we could dance to, but it could have gone on longer." What Fender didn't know was that the Christmas dance almost didn' t take place after Foreign Exchange Club decided not to sponsor it due to lack of attendance and little profit in recent years. Finally, DECA decided to sponsor the dance, but some members were hesitant because of the last two years' fa ilure to make money on the annual event. "I was very nervous about DECA sponsoring the dance because it hadn't been very successful in past years," said Jason Van Every," But we just used what we had learned in DECA about planning and marketing. We looked at past dances and saw what was succcessful and what wasn't and then we decided who to target and how to make it worthwhile for the students who attended. Then we put it all together to make it fun for everyone by having door prizes and free refreshments that were donated by local businesses." After spending three weeks planning the dance and getting most of the decorations done during class, DECA members spent only six hours the day of the dance decorating. DECA sold 250 tickets and profited around $1,000, making the dance a successful fundraiser. "I think the dance was more successful this year because we stuck with a traditional Christmas theme," said Carole Schneider. "Wedidn'tuseany wild colors or anything like last year's theme of Fiesta. It also helped that we had class time to work on the dance and that we got together the night before so we wouldn't have to run around trying to find stuff the day we decorated." The highlight of the dance came when Jeni Bintz and Kevin Adkins were crowned princess and prince. Other court members included Kellie Clifton, Nikki Hartzell, Mary Ryan, Mindy Workman, Eric Mauer, Ryan Powell, Brian Reisz, and Ryan Wheeler. -Nicole Hansen Toy gun in hand, Nikki Hartzell aims it across the room as Nick McGrath watches during the orchestra Christmas party Dec. 22.

(Photo by Heather Olson) ~ N 10 lrKI E ~G[l={Jf"--------------- First student director of major musical gains knowledge and experience as a ... It was a whole new world for senior Katrina Markel when instructor Stephen Brockway chose her to direct the all school musical Aladdin. "It's fun getting to shape the play in to how I see it," said Markel. "Instead of being one character, I kind of get to be all of the characters. I'm learning different ways to communicate my ideas through the characters. I think they do roundoffs and kicks. Brockway wouldn't be doing that." Although Markel was the director, she was also a friend to many of the cast members, who sometimes found it hard to be serious. "I think cast members think they can goof off in rehearsals," Markel said. "It's hard for me to crack down. I've had to learn directing will help me as an actress to think more like a director." Cast members saw some big differences between Markel and Brockway. "Brockway has an ultimate vision of what everything is supposed to look like," said Robin Shepard. "But with Katrina, it kind of progresses as we go along. She probably '7t's fun getting to shape the play into how I see it. Instead of being one character, I kind of get to be all of the characters." to say, 'Okay, we've got to be quiet, no more clowning around. We have to get down to business."' In addition to disciplining her cast, Markel had to cope with stress. "Most of the stress comes in because everything falls on my shoulders," said Markel. "If the show isn't ready by the time Katrina Markel has an ultimate vision, but she tries more new things than Brockway ever did. It's more creative." With Markel, nothing was set in stone. "Katrina likes to stick quirks in," Brian Collier said, "like having people bump heads when they bow, and directing the ninjas to act hyper while we open, it's my fault." Although there was a lot of stress, Markel expected the rewards to be even greater. "It's satisfying when you can watch people improve, knowing you helped them have a little bit more confidence in themselves on stage," she said. -fen Kracher Star light Carefully balanced on two tiny steel rods 40 feet above the auditorium, Jason Pierret adjusts and rechecks the cove lights before the opening night of A laddin.

"I was mad," Rindone said. "I decided to ask other people as a joke, just to see who would go, and Travis Hatcher was the first one to say yes seriously, so we went as friends." Like Rindone, a lot of students experienced some last minute surprises that encouraged them to take friends rather than romantic dates to Prom. "We knew we would have more fun if we went with each other instead of being totally bored with a date." -Eric Potter "Stacy and I are best friends," said Potter. "We knew we would have more fun if we went with each other instead of being totally bored with a date." A few students even decided to go to Prom alone.

"I pulled a little piece of skin from my belly button and reached for the sterilized needle," said Bourke. "I poked the needle into my skin but it didn't work so I used a sterling silver shtd, which pierced several layers of my skin. When I got to the last layer of skin, it took 15 minutes to get through; then I heard the skin pop. It felt like a thumb tack poking into your hand. I wanted to get rid of the pain." Bourke wasn't the only srudent willing to go through the physical pain of being poked, burned, or stung. Thirty-six out of 100 srudents polled had considered being pierced or tattooed, while 15 said they had already been branded. Some wanted to show their rebellious individualism, but others wanted to be part of the new trend. Eric Potter got his belly button pierced because he wanted to be different. "I didn't know of anyone who had it at the time and it's less permanent than a tattoo," said Potter. "I saw itin Madonna's Sex Book. I'm not a pervert; I was looking in the book for a story I did for newspaper. I also saw it on Aerosmith's Cry in' video." Sarah Shaver wanted a tattoo to fit in at the beach where she worked. "I was wiping the windows in the beach house," said Shaver. "I thought, 'I'm gonna get a tattoo tonight.' I told the people I was working with that I was going to do it and they thought it was cool." Shaver wanted her tattoo badly enough that she didn't worry much about the pain, but finally, it became more than she could handle. "The tattoo artist said it would hurt like hell," said Shaver. "I tried to tough it out, but when he hit my heel bone, I asked him to stop. He said he could finish the outline and to come back another day, but I knew if I walked out, I wouldn' t come back." Although Shaver didn't regret her tattoo, Waylon Foutch later regretted his decision. "I got my tattoo when I was a freshman because I thought it would be cool," said Foutch. "I don't like it anymore and eventually I will get it taken off." Foutch never considered the permanence of his tattoo before he got it. "People see things they like," said Foutch.

Feeling great about how he looked, Nate Weathers strolled into the Homecoming dance wearing blue and tan pinstriped trousers, a matching vest, and a plain white T-shirt. His Homecoming outfit cost only about $20 at a huge Banana Republic sale. "I pretty much just shop for bargains," said Wea thers. "When I went school shopping, I bought only one pair of full priced jeans. I spent like $300 and got four pairs of pants, two pairs of jeans, four casual shirts, multiple T-shirts, and shoes." Weathers wasn't the only bargain hunter roaming the halls. Although most students said they shopped at Dillards and The Buckle, more than 12 percent of those polled said they shopped for the cheapest clothes they could find. "I go somewhere I know I will get clothes cheap," Andy Sorensen said. "For a pair of jeans, usually I'll just buy them at Target. I don't like buying really expensive brand name ones because I think you are only paying for the brand name and not the jeans themselves." Students who had to pay for their own clothes were especially serious abouts tretching their money. Many found that a typical outfit of jeans and a flannel shirt cost around $88 at Dillards and $96 at The Buckle, while that same outfit at Retro Recycle would cost only $25. "I have my own job and I see how fast my paycheck can go," Jen Ridgeway said. "For two weeks I get paid around $130 that could easily be spent at The Buckle on one pair of jeans and a shirt. At the Retro I can get four shirts for $20, whereas at The Buckle I can get a collar and a button for that much." Many of those who found that cheaper is better discovered the cheapest place to get clothes was in their own home. Students either hunted through their parents' closets looking for old hippie and 70's clothes or found some wild clothing in their own closets. "I get most of my clothes out of my own closet," Angie Johnson said. "I haven't grown much in a couple of years, so I still have stuff from ninth grade. I basically just mix and match with what I have in my closet already." Whether shopping the sales or going to a thrift store, students saved their money by stretching their pennies. -Jennifer Kracher C omfortable i11 his frie nd 's ba th robe, Noah We ll er k neels dow n a t h is lock er.

As Teena Juhl left her house with 10 minutes to get to school, she knew there would be a struggle to find a parking spot, especially when 394 student parking stickers were sold for the 300 spaces in the lot. "I paid to park in that lot," said Juhl, "but when I come late, I see cars that don't have stickers. The new lines helped because people had an idea of where to park, but there still aren't enough spots." The student parking lot wasn't the only place where crowdedness existed after 1311 students enrolled compared to last year's 1165. At least 32 classes had more than 30 people in them at the beginning of first semester, according to assistant principal Fred Maher. "In my French class there are more then 30 people," said Kim Fulfs. "There are barely enough desks. All the people make it hard to learn because the class becomes chaotic." Hallways were even more jam packed than classrooms. In the most crowded halls, traffic jams often stopped students cold. "In the English hallway, movement is almost nonexistent," said Jim Hastie. "I can hardly get to my locker. Next year the Freshman Class is bigger." Lunches were crowded after the administration cut from three lunches to two last year, and when 100 students were added, first lunch became so packed that many students could not even find a place to sit. After a few weeks the administration relieved the problem a little by cutting the number of classes with first lunch. "At the beginning of the year, it took me longer to get a lunch than it does now," said Eric Bach. "I still think we need to do something about the problem, like go back to three lunches or have open campus." Throughout the year, enrollment went down, and by Dec. 1, only 1256 students were enrolled, making the school a little less crowded.

(Photo by Christen Grimsley) • • Upperclassmen yelled, "Freshmen Suck!" at the pep assemblies; only 10 students remained in the stands by the end of the Sioux City East game; juniors spent hours decorating their hall for Homecoming, and it was trashed by noon the next day; fights in the Homecoming sit-in caused its cancellation and that of the next day's picnic. These events and others proved to many that school spirit was at an all time low. To solve the problem, a student advisory council got started when a few students met with Principal Jim Lake about the fights that erupted at the sit in. "I went to Mr. Lake because I saw cliques confronting each other at the sit in," said member Ryan Powell. "We realized everyone needed more school spirit." In a poll of 73 people, 41 said school spirit was down. "I think school spiri~ has gone down 75 percent since I've been here," said Katie Mescher. "A lot of people don't respect the school enough; and they show it by teepeing and spray painting the building." Students cited failure of groups to support each other as the major cause of poor spirit. The Pep Squad formed at the beginning of the year had 139 members, but by the end of January, the squad had only 35 members. "I thought it would be fun to cheer without being a cheerleader," said Stephanie Krach er. "I didn't think so many people would be against it. When people made fun of me, I felt like an outcast." Football players also felt a lack of support, w ith only a few students showing up at most games. At the Sioux City East football game, players said they came from behind but couldn't overtake their opponent because their was no crowd support. "When you're down by that much and start to come back and there's nobody there, you think, 'Why am I doing this?"' said Jason Corwin,. Corwin remembered his freshman year when things were different.

Dragging her feet, Jill Hunter sauntered through the front door after a long, hard day at school. She was anxiously greeted by her good friend, Missy, who lathered her with sloppy kisses. The two meandered into the kitchen and sat down to an afternoon snack. When finished, they cozied up on the couch to watch Desiging Women, a daily ritual shared by two friends. Then Hunter began to tell Missy, her furry black Shih-tzu terrier, about her day. In a poll of 140 students, 126 had pets. Of those, 77 said they had a close relationship with their pet. Ten said it was the best relationship they had. "I have a strong emotional attachment to my dogs and cats," said Kehry Lane. "They're like friends that you don't get in fights with." Courtney Brummer said she talked to her fish for at least five minutes before and after school, "My fish is the only member of my family that will listen to me without interrupting," said Brummer. "He can't tell me to shut up. I am close with my fish because he hasn't bonded with anyone else. He's there for me and me only." More than 100 students said they and their parents considered their pet a member of the family. "My mom always gets the dogs ice cream or french fries when she goes out," said Nicole Hansen. "They get presents under the tree, and we celebrate their birthdays. I'm jealous of the extra attention they get." The loss of a pet could be as traumatic as the loss of a family member. Jason Will, whose cat died in November of 1993, said it was difficult to overcome his grief. "My whole family cried a lot when Tiger got run over," said Will. "It was very painful for all of us. She was the best animal and a grea t friend. She w as like part of our family-we always took care of her and spent money on her to keep her happy and healthy." According to the Dec. 7,1993 issue of The Nonpareil, grief over a pet's death had driven people to suicide, destroyed marriages, and cau sed job losses. "It took me a long time to get over it," said Alicia Hughes, whose dog died five years ago. "I was so sad I missed school.

The smell of melted chocolate and roasted marshmallows drifted through the air while the warmth of the fire reached out to those who stood holding hands around its perimeter. A soft melody lifted from the circle as the 10 members of the youth group at Ridgecrest Baptist Church sang several hymns. As the last note emitted into the night, tears began to dampen the faces of the teens. "It was really neat because we'd been talking about a lot of things that go on in a teenager's life-drinking, drugs, peer pressure, sex," said Jonathan Weister. "A couple of people went forward and got some things off their chests that they needed to say. Wedidn'tjudgethem or look down on them. We just listened and tried to let them know that we were there for them." Members of the Ridgecrest Baptist Church youth group weren't the only ones who felt a strong system of support within their chruch group. Cindy Lee said her youth group, Front Line, at the First Assembly of God, provided her with an environment where she could give and receive encouragement and support. "We're like a big family," said Lee. "I try to be a role model for the younger kids because I remember that when I was their age, I looked up to the older kids." Church youth groups played an important role in the lives of many teens, helping them develop lasting friendships with people they otherwise never would have gotten to know. "I met people from different schools and of various ages," said Andrea Deremer. "Our differences don't affect anything because we're all there for one purpose- to serve God." Paul Stark, a member of the youth group at Timothy Lutheran Church, found that talking to God on a daily basis helped him manage a lot of difficult times. "I pray two or three times a day about anything," said Stark. "I take time out to talk to God because he is always listening, especially if I have a tough day. Whether making new friends or spiritual discoveries, most teens involved in youth groups agreed their group offered the encouragement and comfort they needed. "Some people think that church and things involved are just a bunch of restrictions," said Lee. "To me, I'm not giving up anything- I'm gaining a life lesson." -Jessie Morris 32 • Student life ------------~-----........

In sixth grade the gym instructor discovered that Dingman had scoliosis or a curved spine. The curve was so bad that she needed to have surgery at age 12. During the four-hour, $30,000 surgery in 1988, the doctor inserted a plastic rod on each side of her spine and on top and fused them all together with bone from her hip. "I was in the hospital 10 days after the surgery," said Dingman. "I couldn'twalkorevensitup. I had to lie flat on my back, and every hour two nurses came in and flipped me." After Dingman was up and walking again, she had to wear a brace, which helped to keep her back straight all of the time, even at school. "There were a lot of jokes in the beginning," she said. '1 cried because I was embarrassed to wear it. I worried what others would think of me. I didn't even think about the brace helping me. Eventually, most people accepted it, and Ilearned that wearing a brace doesn't make you less of a person." As a junior, Dingman still wore the brace to bed and faced limitations on what she could do. "I can't lift more than 25 pounds," she said. "I can only bend from the waist, and this year was the first time in two years Icould participate in P. E. I am supposed to do sit-ups regularly to keep my stomach muscles strong because they help support my back. " But the benefits from surgery and the brace were well worth the agony Dingman endured. "If I had never been diagnosed, I could be all twisted up now," she sa id. "I also may not have been able to breathe right because my rib cage laid on top of my lung, which is still smaller than the other, but at least 1 can breathe." -Heather Binns 34 • Student Life More than ... ches & pains Disabled girl leads normal life As an eight-year old, Tracy Peck could walk with ease across a room, but by 11, she was confined to a wheel chair due to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (MD). Duchenne MD is a rapidly progressive disease which destroys the skeletal muscles. Peck's legs had been in the sitting position for such a long time that if they were to be straigtened, they would break, so she slept in the fetal position. "The doctor gave me a brace to wear to bed to keep my legs straight," she said, "but that eventually got too painful, so I stopped wearing it." By her senior year, her strength had decreased until the smallest tasks were difficult for the 5' 7 ", 82-pound girl to do. "I can tell I'm weaker," she said. "A twogallon milk jug is hard for me to pick up now. Even my school books are difficult to handle." Peck may not have had the strength to walk, yet she did all the things a normal teenager does.

After almost a year and a half of doing acid and marijuana on a regular basis, Taylor decided it was time he cleaned up his life. "The night I mixed three drugs was the first time I ever did LSD," Taylor said. "I'm lucky I'm still alive. It was stupid and dangerous. I have decided I don't want to do drugs anymore." Gradually, Taylor had built up a tolerance for marijuana so it didn't give him the same high. ''Marijuana was making me feel like shit," he said. "Sometimes when I was high, I wished things would be normal again. After a while, the drugs got old and I just wanted out." Even 10 months after Taylor stopped using drugs, he continued to attend parties where drugs were available. "I have fun with the people who use," he said. "I get the same rush, but I am not doing any drugs. I 'm sober so there is no danger involved." Taylor was glad he chose to stop. "The drugs were altering my mind," he said.

At the other end of the spectrum, junior *Jane Kemp grew up in a structured environment; her father was a minister, and each week Kemp went to church. Nobody would have thought she would end up in the whirlwind of drugs. Smith said she started using drugs because of her dad. "He was doing cocaine and marijuana," she said. "He still does drugs, but not in front of me anymore. It's hard because my friends don't understand what it's like growing up around that." Smith was getting high before and after school everyday her junior year. One teacher noticed a change in her behavior and mentioned it to her. Her hours were even cut back at work because she couldn't keep up, but Smith didn't realize she had a problem until one of her friends had a bad reaction to acid. "I knew I had a problem when my friend tripped," she said. "I was mad at myself. I told my mom what was going on. She said she loved me and wanted me to learn my own lesson.

"Then one day I decided that I didn' t like church any more. I tried marijuana and I never felt so mellow before. My body was numb and I didn't feel any stress. My parents had just gone through a divorce. That caused me a lot of stress." Even though church was no longer important in Kemp's life, she continued to place much importance on her school work. "School is very important to me," she said. "I have a 3.5 cumulative and a 3.8 current GP A. Tests are tougher, though. Marijuana makes you lose your short term memory. Things just come a little slower, like 8 plus 8, little stupid things." Yet Kemp had no desire to quit her carefree lifestyle now or in the near future. "I don't believe in reincarnation," she said.

(Photo by Susan Freeman) 48 • Sports After nine consecutive losing seasons, the softball team finally hit home with a 15-12 record and the city championship. The girls accomplished this feat with a combination of great pitching and almost flawless infielding. "During the first St. Albert game Mindy Workman did a really good job of pitching," said Coach Kevin Dunn. "She had nine strike-outs and no walks. That's excellent, considering two strike-outs to one walk is a good ratio for a game. The girls also had some really good infield plays throughout the game." Throughout the season, the talent and teamwork of Keri Feil en, Jennifer Petersen, Shauna Hale, Mandi Phillips and Mindy Patten kept the team ranked in the top 15 in the state in infielding. In addition to skill, mental toughness often conquered opponents. In one St. Albert game, the girls stayed mentally alert through 12 innings of a 2-2 tie ----------~--------...... until they finally pulled away with a 5-2 victory. Unlike the girls, the baseball team ended its season with a 6- 22 record. "I think we could have had a better record if we would have had more experienced players on the team," said Bob Stiles. "We were just too young for our opponents." Because the team had only six seniors, 12 juniors were forced to step into varsity positions and had difficulty adjusting to the change, according to Coach Rick Wahl. Inconsistency in hitting and pitching also contributed to the losing record. "The team either pitched well and hit badly, or hit well and pitched badly," said Wahl. "We gave away a lot of hits as our pitching went downhill every game." To end regular season play, the boys lost to Tee Jay and the girls lost to Lewis Central in the first round of Districts. -Amy Haggstrom .--' .· .. ·:~· . . . ' ·~·'..... . . . . ' • '. Jr., ......

"It was hard to go into a game knowing we were going to be outmanned and knowing we were going to lose every time," said Kregg Clemens. In a typical game, AL was often outmanned by at least 25 to 30 players. The boys' first chance to win came when they played crosstow n rival Tee Jay, but the team was upset as TeeJay pulled away 28-22. "The boys did a really good job of trying to battle back into the game," said Coach Rick Wahl. "They justmadetoomany turnovers and mental mistakes." In the season finale against Sioux City East, the boys were 10 yards away from winning the game whenS.C.Eastintercepted the ball, securing a 14-20 win. "After Matt (Handsacker) scored a touchdown, it fired the whole team up," said Clemens. "We had a really good shot at winning. We just simply made too many mistakes." Although the scores showed only that the boys lost every ganle, players said the team had some good qualities others didn't see. "They were personal qualities rather than physical," said Bill Waugh. "We had pride and selfrespect. We ran fast, hit hard, and never gave up." Coach Wahl was proud of the team's accomplishments. "I thought the boys exemplified what athletics is all about," he said. "You go out regardless of who or what you're playing against and give it your best shot." -Amy Haggstrom "We played !Ap to O!AI" ability; b!At all of O!A I" ~ppoV\eV\ts Wel"e too • II ovel"powel"1V\9 . -3asoV\ Col"WiV\ A ll-City Offel'\se L a """"Y P etel"SOI'\ K ""e99 Clemel'\s D efense D eW ayl'\e B""i9ht Bi ll W aVlgh Specia list Cha d Nelsol'\ L ed M efro JI'\ R eceivei l'\9 K ""e99 Clemel'\s VARSITY FOOTBALL.

Finally Coach Mary Kyte broke the silence, trying to raise the dampened spirits of her volleyball team after the girls' devastating loss to Sioux City Heelan for regional semi-finals, which crushed their chances for State. "I know it's a real disappointment losing this game, but you played very well tonight and all season," said Kyte. "I'm proud of you and I'm gonna miss you seniors. We'vehadagreatyear." The hall fell silent again except for the quiet sobs of the players, who knew it was the last time they would sit together as a team. Most players felt the loss was due to overconfidence. "Everyone believed we would easily beat Sioux City Heelan," said Tracy Thomas. "Once they beat u s in the second game, it came as such a shock that we started making too many mental errors and they just outplayed u s." The game was a sad end to the season with 33 w ins, breaking the school record. Players credit their success to carefully developed teamwork and a varie ty of talents. "We were good friends off the court and on, and our relationships helped establish g reat teamwork," said Katie Mescher. "We also had a great diversity of strengths, good height, excellent spikers, setters, and passers." The girls' strengths became obvious during their first tournament, the Des Moines North Invitational, w here they took first place. "By the time we made it to the championship game, the whole team was tired from playing a tough game against Ames, who had beaten us earlier in the day," said Mindy Workman. "We really came together. If someone fell, we all helped her up. We wanted revenge bad and gave everything we had to beat Ames and take first place." Even a disappointing end to the season did not overshadow the teamwork and dedication of a record breaking season. - Rhonda Fanning ----------~~-------..... -v -vo the p0 .

Snapping their 12-year streak of qualifying an individual or team to State, the boys' and girls' cross country teams ended their season short at Districts Oct. 21. "The season was full of peaks and valleys, and Districts just happened to fall in a valley," said Coach Mick Freeman. The boys ran without standout Jason Steger, who suffered from a stress fracture in his left ankle. "During the race, the pain got so bad where I couldn't keep running, so I reluctantly dropped out," said Steger. The Lady Lynx wrapped up their season with an 11th place finish a t Districts. Mary Ryan finished first for the team, placing 26th. The girls were plagued with inconsistency as team unity tore apart. Coach Ron Lakatos said some disappointments came mid season with injuries and lack of cooperation among the runners. "There was a lot of tension in practice," said Jessie Drake. "Some girls would skip practice and most of us lost the idea of toughing it out and being a tea1n." Although the girls didn' t win any meets, they placed third as the host team at the AL Invite.

He fought the pain in his tightened muscles still sore from the meet the night before. Fifteen minutes later, short of breath,hispulseratesoaring and sweat rolling off his face, he headed for the shower, glad another morning practice was over. Running laps was just one element of the wrestlers' rigorous practice routine. "We have the toughest practices of any sport," Waugh said. "At an after school practice, we start with 100 push-ups and situps; then we wrestle two matches, work on our technique for 30 minutes, wrestle two or three more matches, do another 100 push-ups and sit-ups and then run sprints. The wrestlers' grueling practices paid off with an 11-1 duel meet record. The team's only loss was to longtime rival Lewis Central, who placed second at State. The wrestlers also had a strong fourth place finish at the Metro Tournament. "We felt good about placing fourth out of 18," said Justin Edmondson. "Many of the Nebraska teams who wrestled at the Metro tourney were state contenders. " The team's successful season wasn't without sacrifices. Wrestlers gave up their social life to practice, and cutting weight often meant skipping meals. "It took a lot of self control to pass up going out with my friends becuase I had to go to bed early," said Dan Mohatt. "I hated having to stay home and not go to Burger King, where watching my friends eat was just too tempting. Friends became second priority to wrestling all season." -Rhonda Fanning One ..

These words echoed throughout the St. Albert gym as Falcon fans ridiculed the Lynx team, which had become seniorless by New Year's. Of the 12 seniors expected to play varsity, five didn't show up to the first practice, two quit before the first game, and three quit after the second game. The last two quit on New Year's Day. Seniors said they quit for various reasons, ranging from being sick of working hard and not having fun to disagreeing with the coaches. Although the Lynx faced some tough competition, with nine of their games against a top 10 team in Iowa or Nebraska, the sophomores and juniors who remained on the team or were moved up to varsity did not give up. After the last senior left, in fact, the young players said they worked harder than ever.

We pushed ourselves in the running drills that we dreaded before, we worked harder on our ball handling drills, and we played our scrimmages like we would a real game. Everyone worked harder in the all-around practice." Coach Francisco Pepin said that although the team won only one game, the tougher practices resulted in marked improvements in several games. In the next four matchups after New Year's, offensive rebounds and steals increased by an average of three a game, and, on average, the boys allowed their opponents 17 fewer points and six fewer rebounds a game. "Even though we lost all but one game, the fact that we're all tenth and eleventh graders is outstanding," said David Zimmerman.

At $5 a plate for fish, baked beans, bread, and fries, the cheerleaders' fish fry brought in more than $550 profit. "The fish fry was the best" said Molly Jayjack. "I called Sweet 98 and announced where it was. We had tons of fun." In addition to the fish fry, the cheerleaders sponsored two car washes during the summer. "Of all the fundraisers, I think the car washes were the best." said Jill Wenninghoff. "We always met a ton of new people, and no matter what, we would always get into a huge water fight. It was a blast!" Fundraisers were only a small part of the girls' summer fun. They spent most of the money they earnedoncampatOkoboji, where they practiced new cheers for 8 to 10 hours a day. "Camp was a way all of the cheerleaders could learn to work together." said Bridget Taylo. "We spent most of the day in the hot sun learning new cheers and things." Once they returned from camp, the girls had to force themselves out of bed by 7:30 every morning for two-hour practices -------------~--------.... at school. "Practices were the hardest when we started running to Kokomo's and back," said Cindi Tripp, "especially so early in the morning" After the year started, the cheerleaders' behind the scenes work continued. They volunteered their time to serve dinner to football players before games. "We wanted to do something for the football players and this way we got to know them better," said Wenninghoff. Wrestling cheerleaders also put in extra time behind the scenes. "My mom driving us to far away meets every Saturday became a ritual." Dana Drennen said. "We would always leave earlier than needed so we could stop for breakfast. One time we stopped at Happy Chef and ordered hot cocoa with marshmallows bacause it was so cold." Although most students didn't realize how hard the cheerleaders worked, the girls accepted the extra time they put in out of the limelight as just a part of life. "Without the little things we do for the teams and each other," Jayjack said. "we wouldn't be real cheerleaders." -Andrea O'Brien ----------- - - - - ~--- ------ - - - - - Wat ch & learn Clapping her hands together, Jeni Bintz teaches a group of kindergarten through third grade girls a cheer.

"We talked about things goingonin our lives," Kristin Scott said. "Everyone listened and understood. It was like having 12 sisters in one room." At camp the squad also learned it qualified for the 1994 National Championships in Orlando, FL. "Camp made this year special," Grace Jayjack said. "We got along well, and learning we were going to Nationals made us more dedicated." But the girls faced many difficulties on their way to Nationals. "We contacted three different choreographers from the United Dance Association who turned down our requests to help us," Joanne Whalen said. "So we asked a former captain, Krissa Rossbund, to help. Her dance was too difficult and we couldn't learn it in time, so we decided to perfect an earlier dance. Krissa ------------~-----........ around had already sent in music to the UDA and we requested a change of music. Two weeks before we had to leave, we got a call telling us the music we sent in was disqualified. We finally found music that was okay." Knowing most squads would have professionally choreographed dances, the girls began to feel tension. "Under normal circumstances, we would have gotten along," Whalen said, "but we were frustrated because of the National complications." Despite problems, members believed the trip helped form a special bond again." "We got along better because we were stuck with each other for four days," said Rikki Rodenburg. "We had our differences, but we're all friends." Senior Erica Warren said the friendships were what she would miss most. "The diversity made this year special," Warren said. "I got to meet quiet and outgoing people, and I got to know people who hang out in different crowds." -Jill Hunter Mmm, y ummy Impressed with menu items at the Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando, Angie Johnson and Erica Warren decide what to order.

The girls worked hard during their own practices, swimming nearly 300 laps in each two-hour stretch and wearing two to three swimsuits to create drag.

You all have the skills and talent to win. You have to play with heart, it's gotta come from inside. I'll be satisfied with any outcome as long as you play a tough game." These words came from Coach Jim Cunningham's mouth many times during the season. "These talks helped us to realize that Coach couldn't give us what comes from inside to win," said Matt Timm. "Each player's love for soccer has to come from the heart." When the boys suffered a loss to St. Albert in the city tournament, many of them understood what Cunningham was telling them. According to Timm, the boys dominated the first half of regulation play, controlling the midfield and making all of their passes. But in the second half, the Lynx came out cold, and instead of stepping up after the Falcons scored, they seemed to let off of the pressure. "The main difference between St. Albert and us," said Timm, "was that they played tough the whole game. Even after they scored 10 minutes into the second half, they still kept the pressure on." But earlier in the season, after a devastating loss to Papillion and another pep talk from Cunningham, the Lynx had a spectacular win against Millard North. After ending the 90 minutes of regulation play and the 20 minutes of overtime in a 0-0 tie, the Lynx returned to the field and defeated the Mustangs in a shootout, securing a 1-0 win. "This was definitely a highlight of the season," said Matt Jensen.

"To have a team that works well together, the players must be friends on the field," Amy Tilley said. "The sport just won'twork without teamwork."

The girls were celebrating because they had just won the city tournament in a first ever undefeated season. "We won the T.J. Invitational for the first time ever," Alicia Hughes said. "No AL team had ever won it, and for the first time in six years, Atlantic didn't win it. It makes us feel good because we won by only one stroke." The girls practiced four hours a day, and it paid off. "It's pretty neat being my senior year," Alison Heitman said, "to finish the season on a strong note, winning all these matches and everything." Through their 6-0 historymaking season, the girls grew closer to each other. "The team spirit has been real good," Amy Kramer said. "We always pull together when we have tournaments." The guys didn't develop the ~-~----------~--------.... same closeness as the girls because they weren't together as much this season. "The team just isn't practicing," Adam Wilson said. "Last year we practiced till eight every night, and this year we just play five or nine holes." Not having their regular coach, Phil Nielsen, due to a minor heart attack at the beginning of the season, was one reason they practiced less. Brown coached both teams, and Curt Hinman said he practiced mostly with the girls. Wilson said their 3-3 record, although it included a first place win at the Creighton Prep Invitational, showed Nielsen was missed. "Our team wasn't really affected emotionally, but when we found out he was done coaching, it was like a dark cloud," Danny Van Bibber said, "but he did come to the Champions Tournament, and he was really pleased when we won." -fen Kracher Sandman "Putting power behind his swing, Dan Van Bibber practices hitting the ball out of the sand at Dodge Park before the city tournament.

(Photo by Gina DiCenzo) Through challenging jumps, dangerous tricks, skiers say there's no business like ... now business With big chunks of ice covering the Crescent ski hills. Michelle Johnson knew it wasn't a good day to be skiing, but she took her chances. As she exited the lift and started down the hill, she knew she shouldn't have been there. She hit a chunk of ice, lost her balance, and slashed her head as she hit the ground. "That had to be my worst experience in the eight years I've been skiing," Johnson said. "It scares you when you fall and get hurt." Even after she got injured, Johnson continued to challenge herself on the slopes. "There are always new things to try, like new jumps," she said. "It's great to see how far you can push yourself out there on the hills." Like J olmson, many others kept finding new challenges to keep the sport exciting. "I love going off the jumps and seeing how high I can get," said Olivia Roppe. "It's fun to see who can get down the hill the fastest, hitting all the jumps without falling." Even though Johnson and Rappe had skied only at the Mount Crescent Ski Hills, Matt Clark had been to both Breckenridge and Keystone in Colorado. "I started out on the bunny hill at Keystone when my family went on a ski trip to Colorado," said Clark. "It was kind of scary at first, but once I got used to it, I thought it was a pretty easy sport." Clark said he skied about five times a week at Mt. Crescent and inade at least one or two trips a year to Colorado. "It's a great winter sport," he said. "It's more individualized so you can push yourself as hard as necessary to see what kinds of tricks you can do. You don't have to rely on other people to do a good job." Clark often tried tricks called the Leroy and the Daphie. "The Daphie is pretty easy," he said. "You just go over the jump, put one ski forward and one ski backward and then you land; the Leroy is where you cross your skis in the air after you go over the jump." Another Colorado skier, Mike Nelson, built his own jumps at Crescent to try tricks that many professionals did. To build the jumps, Nelson used hay bails which he covered with a pile of snow, making sure none of the strands of hay were exposed. "First, you have to build a jump just right so it's gradual enough and not too steep," he said. "Then you have to be brave enough to try it the first time. After you try it once, you're not as scared to keep doing it." Some of the stunts Nelson and his friends tried were the Helicopter, the Back-scratcher, and the Squirrel. "The Helicopter is probably the most fun," Nelson said. "It's a full 360 in the air after you go over a jump. Everybody seems to be trying this jump because it's one of the easiest stunts to do." Whether students built their own jumps or used those already made to try stunts done by professionals, many found skiing to be a challenging winter sport. -Amy Haggstrom "'t' ....._; s a 9l1'"ea t wiV\teJI'" spo11'"t.

But at school, the phrase carried a positive meaning, too--the excitement of getting new equipment, taking a special trip, or being honored with a big award. Deadlines and a new schedule brought stress to students and faculty members in Now or Never situations. New computers, video cameras, and editing equipment caused excitement for publication and broadcasting students. A high tech lab gave industrial technology students a 21st century experience, and new vocational education courses at the Tucker Center catapulted students Into the Future. Group communication became more important as the new block schedule made it difficult for some groups to meet daily with their members. But the blocks gave students more time to be creative through group projects, and there was time for students to help others learn material, so students were Getting Together. Learning experiences also came from outside the school building. Groups such as band, porn pon, DECA, and the publications staffs took far away trips to big cities in the North and East. Other students attended camps at universities and colleges during the summer of 1993. These students on the go wondered more than once," Are We There Yet?" All in all, block classes, stressful competitions and deadlines, high technology, group work, and exciting trips led many to say, "We're In For It Now!" 82 • Clubs and Classes Division --....... ~~- - - - --- -Jennifer Kramer Carefully holding a crayfish, John Christiansen dissects it during instructor Terrell Clinton's eighth hour biology class.

Although DeWitt was the only one out of four students from AL to make it to Nationals, others worked equally hard. "I won five rounds before I was eliminated," said Jessie Morris.

These included meeting every other day so students had a day in between to get their work completed and having extra time in class.

Suddenly from the front of the room, an evergreen tree spoke. "Once upon a time, far away on the Fiji Islands, there lived a civilization of duck-billed platypuses and one garbageman," said the evergreen tree, who was actually Stephanie Kracher. As Kracher spoke, two girls, wearing bills made of construction paper tied around their heads, turned around to face their audience. The laughter that had subsided into giggles now turned into hoots. Kracher, Malick, Tara Owens and Erin Grudle, the duck-billed platypuses, had not intended for this project to be so funny.

Just when the students thought there was no hope, a voice squealed out from somewhere in the room, "I got it!" Soon an excited murmur scattered throughout the class. This was a familiar scene in instructor Chris Fink's Advanced Placement Chemistry class where students often got together in small groups of four or five to work on assigned problem sets. Erin Girton said Fink gave the class some notes and examples, but students were expected to figure out many questions on their own. "We often didn't talk about all the problems in class," said Girton. "Last week we sat there thinking about one, and finally, someone in my group figured it out. She explained to us how to do it; we told someone else, and it spread throughout the classroom. It usually works that way." Girton said working in groups was beneficial because most of the time only a few people really knew what was going on. "The problem sets help us understand what we're going over," said Danielle Norgard. "It makes the problem easier if everybody works together. When you work alone, you get frustrated if you can't figure out the answer."

Impressed by her final product, Stephen Brockway, drama instructor, urged Johnson to enter her play in a contest at Grandview College in Des Moines. Johnson won first place and was awarded a $400 scholarship to the college, a medal, and a public reading of the play.

It was the diverse group of people that made the school what it was. They came from as far away as Serbia and as close as Wenwood Circle. They ranged in age from 13 years to 65 years. Their hair color spanned the spectrum from the white of librarian Richard Holt to the dyed magenta of Paul Montana. They were a diverse group of 1256 students and 129 faculty. Get the Picture? A few in the student body like Susan Eicher took all of her classes at Iowa Western and spent very little time on campus; others, like Christine Lam, often spent 12 hours a day on campus carrying a full course load, participating in sports, and working on publications. Teachers were energized by Wes McMains and Alynn Jaeger, who just graduated from college, and they were given stability by Richard Schoeppner, who had been at AL since 1960, longer than anyone else. Get the Picture? People filled with the excitement of a new experience and those who were just waiting for the school year to end came to school every day. There were the quiet people like Robby Doyle, who went about his work without disturbing anyone. Yet, students couldn't escape the outrageous personalities of those like Mike McCarthy, who ate a goldfish during lunch and was always willing to try anything once. So, from oldest to youngest, wildest to most reserved, the students and teachers of Abraham Lincoln High School provided the rich diversity that gave the school a personality of its own.

King of late night Drinking a can of Mountian Dew to keep her heavy eyelids open, Nicole Dawson lounged comfortably in her bean bag chair, flipping channels and pa tiently waiting for her favorite program, Late Show with David Letterman, to begin. Even though she paid the price the next day, Dawson kept staying up until after midnight every night to wa tch Letterman. "I really have a hard time getting up in the morning and I'm so tired at school that I have trouble paying attention and usually doze off during the day," Dawson said. "But I keep watching because I love Letterman's wild and crazy sense of humor." Although Letterman's unusual style of adlibbing and quick witted sarcasm offended some of his fans, most said it was tha t kind of humor that kept them faithfully watching the show nightly, even after he switched from NBC to CBS in September. "I love the way he makes fun of the guests and interacts with the audience by giving away free canned hams every night," said Katie H arrill. /1 All the other hosts sound so rehearsed, but Dave's so spontaneous and rude, it's really hilarious.

A whole new world Nestled in bed in the wee hours of the morning with the covers tucked under her chin, Tanis Lacey turned the pages of a favorite book and escaped to an exotic island where bonfires blazed and teenage boys roamed. Lacey, who read daily and had read Lord of the Flies three times, said everyone should read as much as possible. "There is a whole other world out there that is just waiting to be opened," she said. "Reading can help you so much. It introduces you to new things that you may not get in school. It enhances your vocabulary and it helps you think more intelligently." . Like Lacey, 27 out of 111 students polled said they read at least once a week. Although most preferred to read at home, a few read at school. "I read in study hall," said Erik Edwards. "It is boring, so I read to pass the time. Besides, I have too much to do at home and my brothers and sisters make it hard to enjoy the book." Other students read every chance they got. "I usually read a page or two between classe and sometimes I sneak in a chapter during clas while a teacher is lechiring," said Steven Freilinger. But that wasn't enough for Freilinger. "I'm taking a Contemporary Literature class at Iowa Western for fun and I have to read at least three books a week for it," said Freilinger. "Sometimes it is hard to do but it is worth it. The professor is great. Once we talked for six hours about some books and got kicked out of the coffee shop because they wanted to close." But some students found free reading to be_a waste of time. "I hate to read," said Lindie Sherman. "It is so boring and I do it all day i~ school. I don' t see the need to read more. There is a lot more to do than sit and read a book for hours. Readers claimed non readers missed out. "Reading helps cure depression and provide an escape from problems," said Sara Ogden.

Suddenly you're rudely awakened by sinister giggles commg from the front yard. You rise slowly to peer out the window and you watch helplessly as three shadows scamper down the street. Your yard is left a vast sea of for sale signs. This picture was a strange reality for more than a few students because sign stealing had slowly become a popular teenage activity. Paul Montana learned the craft of sign stealing from his father. "One day I came home and there was a street barricade in my house with an orange flashy light on top. My dad said it was for an art project, and from then on, I always wanted one for myself. " Since then, Montana had accumulated a collection of more than 20 signs. And where did he keep his signs?

Rhonda Fanning had a passion for swiping the sticky signs from the windows of fast food joints. Fanning said the ultimate prize would be to capture the giant Bullwinkle from Taco Bell. Tasha Nelson made sign stealing a monthly ritual. "Once a month a bunch of friends and I from Millard go sign stealing, " she said. Nelson said Millard was the "perfect" place for sign stealing. "It's open fields and hardly any cops," she said. You can basically do whatever you want. " The pinnacle of Nelson's career occurred on a late fall evening in November. "We were trying to unscrew a stop sign and a car drove by, so my friends and I dove into a ditch," she said. " It was full of mud, and so were we.

Cruising around "Hey you!" the guys in the blue convertible yelled, as Amy Manz and Sarah Bookout waited for the light to turn green. The girls looked back and saw two guys standing up and pointing to them. Before the light could turn, the guys starting singing, "You've Lost That Loving Feeling." "We were waiting for the light to turn when we heard someone yelling at us," said Manz. "When we glanced back, we saw the guys standing up, and then they started singing to us." Instead of being flattered by the attention, Manz felt nothing but embarrassment. "It was embarrassing because other people were laughing," said Manz. "When the light turned g.ree~1, I took off, but they kept following us and smgmg. We finally lost them and went home." Cruising was a pastime for many, with 88 out of 120 students polled saying they had cruised. "If there was something else for teens to do, we Wouldn't have to cruise," said Lisa Kehm. "I rui e to meet people and hang out with friends." Like Kehm, 48 out of the 88 who cruised said they did it because there was nothing else to do, but sometimes cruisers found themselves faced with traffic problems or the threat of violence. "One time when I was out with some friends, we stopped next to a car of girls," said Kehm. "One of the girls who didn't like me got out of the car and started to pull my hair. My friend got her off of me and we took off." To cut down on such problems during the summer, the Council Bluffs police spent $7,843 on overtime patrolling Broadway. In addition, an ordinance was passed banning left turns on Broadway between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. But by April, fears about the upcoming summer forced the city council to take an even tougher stand. The council voted unanimously to ban cruising on Broadway from May to September. The ordinance required that people not pass a check point in the same direction three times within two hours from 8 p.m.to 5 a.m. In a poll of 151 students, 53 approved of the ordinance, while 98 were against it because of lack of entertainment in Council Bluffs. "The only thing people can do now is pay $5 for a movie, $20 if they want popcorn and pop, or go to a party, get drunk, and get busted by the cops," said Julie Lundstad. -Nicole Hansen and Jen Ridgway I "One time when I was out with some friends, we stopped next to a car of girls.

Life's a party Imagine yourself and a friend on a sled swishing past snow-covered trees in a frenzy of speed . All the while you're both giggling uncontrollably like children. For Kristin Scott and her friends, sledding was a common activity during the winter. "My friend Marjie Muehlig brought her camera along when we were sledding once," said Scott. "She took pictures as we were going down the hill by holding it out in front of us. I was really surprised that nothing even happened to the camera." Scott said she and her friends also liked to go rollerskating and swinging in the park, two activities she said others probably considered childish. "Sometimes people call me immature, but I just hate sitting there," said Scott. "I just love to relive my childhood. Some of my friends and I were at the Dream Playground and I was having fun, but some people were like, 'Corne on Kris!' Scott said she stays away from mainstream parties because most involved drinking. "It's really hard being there because I don't drink," said Scott. Mike Mcintosh also avoided drinking parties, but he liked to get friends together. Mcintosh said that at one party, he played a joke on one of his friends. "I remember Jennifer Barker saying that she hated locust shells," said Mcintosh, "so the day before, I went out looking for the perfect one. After we came in, I stuck it on her shoulder. When she finally comprehended what was going on, sh~ emitted a loud shriek and kept trying to hit it off, but she just pushed it into her shirt. She kept dancing around. If we would've had a camera, _we , could have won $10,000 from America's Funniest Horne Videos." Mcintosh and his friends enjoyed just sitting around and talking. "We like to make fun of people and crack jokes I about life," said Mcintosh. While some like Mcintosh threw parties just for fun, others threw parties to celebrate special occasions with their friends.

The darkness of the late morning sky gave evidence of rain that had fallen all morning. As the sun broke through the clouds, 66 teenage boys mounted their bikes. With the crack of the gun, they passed through the cones with Blaine Westervelt in the lead. Westervelt discovered mountain bike racing two years ago when he received a bike for his birthday. "I went to True-Wheel Bicycle to get information on my bike," said Westervelt. "The guy was recruiting people for racing. It sounded interesting, so I thought I'd give it a shot." Through Western Iowa Road Club he became involved in both road bike racing and mountain bike racing, with the , latter proving to be more cl:allenging due to difficult terrams.

Reaching the top of the hill, ~e spotted his first target, a foam fig~re made into the shape of a whitetail d eer. Stopping 20 y~rds from his target, he took aim, aligning his bow pins w ith the area just above the broad side of the front leg. Pulling his bow string, he released his arrow, scoring 10 points for an accurate shot. The success Chilton found in archery competition came only after many hours of practice. "If you shoot competitively, you have to practice," said Chilton. "Practicing means you're serious about the sport, and you have to be serious to be the best." Putting more than $1,000 and innumerable hours into archery over the last three years, Chilton proved his serious attitude _by winning nine first place trophies. He also qualified for the International Bow Hunter's Organization World Championships two years. "Archery is not really like any other sport," Chilton said. "You don' t get a lot of recognition for winning-just the personal satisfaction that you did your best." -Jessie Morris READY, AIM, SHOOT.

The only sound that can be heard is a distant flock of birds overhead. As they approach, it is evident that they aren't just birds, but homing pigeons, headed straight toward Bruce Schofield's house. For Schofield, this scenario was common during pigeon racing season. He was a member of ORP A (Omaha Racing Pigeons Association), and had more than 10 pigeons trained for racing distances up to 600 miles. This hobby was born three Years ago when Schofield attended an ORP A meeting with a friend . "At my first meeting with the club, I purchased a raffle ticket," Schofield said. "I won and went home with a couple pigeons." From there, Schofield began training his pigeons for competition. "When they're a couple of months old, I let them out to circle the house and neighborhood," Schofield said. "This works their muscles and builds up strength. Then I start taking them further away from home in five-mile increments." Pigeons were timed with a registration capsule placed into a specifically designed syncronized clock, which stamped the capsule for racing officials to verify. Although Schofield's pigeons hadn't placed first, he had numerous second and third place awards, and according to Schofield, he gained experience and knowledge which would help him for future competitions. As with most hobbies, pigeon racing was not without downfalls. It required discipline and financial stability. "It's fun to do but can be expensive and requires a lot of responsibility," Schofield said. "Pigeons range from $35 to $300 each, feed is around $15 a bag, and you have to keep their cages clean of n1anure and odor." -Eric Potter WINGIN' IT.

''We were just juggling and wanted to go outside," Grondek said. "Even though it was snowing, we decided to go out. By the time we got ready, the snow had turned to ice, but we stayed out." . Grondek first began jugglmg three years ago in his former school in Sioux City, where his P.E. class offered a workshop in juggling. While practicing in the gym before school, Grondek met CoreyHoelker, who would become his juggling companion. H~elker was already an accomphshed juggler and taught Grondeknewmovesand ways to improve his skills. . "It was hard work. We practiced for hours at a time," Grondek said. "But it was wortl) it. I improved a lot and learning new things was fun." Hoelker introduced him to the Omaha juggling club, "I Think it Rolled Under the Couch," where Grondek became a member . For the first half hour of their weekly meetings, the members warmed up and practiced new moves. After that, they discussed juggling news as well as upcoming shows. Grondek hoped to go to the International Juggling Convention someday. The annual festival was a competition and chance for young jugglers to meet famous jugglers. "I want to meet Anthony Gatto, a world record setter for juggling seven clubs and seven balls," Grondek said. "He's inspired me and I'd like to know how he started and what his goals are." Grondek had several opportunities to perform for a crowd. He worked at the Renaissance Faire with club members last summer. "We were teaching people to juggle," he said. "It was fun because they wanted to learn sobadly,buttheygotfrustrated easily. They thought juggling was something they could pick up and be able to do anything they want with it. But it's not.

Sigafoose also played baseball for nine years and soccer for four years, and he had two trophies to show his accomplishments in both. Playing contact sports with an artificial leg was no big deal to Sigafoose. "Playing sports isn't any harder with or without a leg," he said. "The thing that makes it hard is the way my opponents react. They give me weird looks and strange comments. And sometimes they hold back during competition, as if they're afraid they're going to hurt me." But Sigafoose had learned to overcome any negative reaction. "I don't really notice it anymore." he said. "The stupid way peopleactaboutitis usually funny tome." In fact, Sigafoose was proud that he had brought a few laughs to his sports.

This was not a typical street fight, but a familiar scene at the American College of Karate. Juhl, now a black belt, had taken lessons for seven years. "I got interested in karate by watching movies at the age of six," said Juhl. "I was really interested in the kicks and board breaking I saw." According to Juhl, students are discouraged from getting into street fights. "We don' tallow students to start fights," Juhl said. "If forced to fight, we just defend ourselves against the attacker." Juhl said some people join martial arts just to learn how to fight, but these people miss the meaning and benefits. "Besides improving bat,: ance, karate helps attitudes, Juhl said. "It makes opl ~ more courageous and sure 0 themselves. It also improves health and teaches control and cooperation." Juhl said other benefits were close relationships with students and instructors. "Everyone is like a fanul. and the instructors are good friends," he said. "I want to know as much as they do. Someday I hope to teach rnY own school ." -Jill Hunter Owens finds herself kicking it up In tight spandex bell-bottoms and a long-sleeved crop top, Tara Owens shimmied and shook her way around a stage to the tune of "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees, pausing for an occasional spin or kick. The practice was to perfect a dance routine, first learned in December, for a recital in May. It was just one of hundreds of dances 15-year-old Owens had learned since she began at the age of two. Owens said she started out taking ballet, tap, and jazz lessons, but she preferred jazz. "T got bored with ballet and tap," said Owens. "Jazz is still a rhallenge. Some steps are simple, but the fast ones are hard to keep up with. It's very easy to get confused." Owens said her class has a recital every May and a competition every two years. "My favorite competition was my first. I was about eight," she said. "We had poodle skirts and danced to SO's music. I think it was my favorite because we did a lot of kicks." Owens said even though she p racticed a mere two hours a week, it was enough time to prepare for recitals and competitions. "It's a fun hobby for now," she said, "but dance isn' t something I could go into professionally. I think I'll dance until I graduate, I want to move on to other things." -Bonnie 0 'Hara VOGUE.

"I wanted students to get to know me and feel comfortable in my class. I tried to answer all their questions." Frascht found herself getting to know students even better through extracurricular activities. "I'm a freshman volleyball coach and help with journalism," Frascht said. "I want to meet many students and know them individually." Like frascht, Alynn Jaeger, " English teacher, found herself involved in a variety of activities. Jaeger was often at school as early as 6: 30 and as late as 10 p.m. working with pom-pon and coaching freshman basketball. "When they interviewed me for the job, I was impressed with the interview process, the school, and the many activities it offered," said Jaeger. "So when I got the job, I knew I wanted to be involved and know the students." Before she was offered the coaching job, Jaeger spent Sunday evenings at open gym. "The first two days of practice I was in Des Moines getting my coaching endorsement, but on the third day when I went to practice, I knew a lot of the guys," said Jaeger. "I'm learning with the team even though I grew up around the game." Even though Frascht and Jaeger usually spent between 15 and 35 hours a week working with activities and planning their lessons, they occasionally had free time. "When I have time, I play in a volleyball league and I spend time with my friends," said Frascht. Along with Frascht and Jaeger, four other new teachers were added, the largest and youngest group to join the faculty in 10 years. -Nicole Hansen ~illiam Forsee.

"I went fishing the weekend before Thanksgiving as my last chance of the year," said Schmoker. "By then most people had put their boats away. When I'm out on the lake, I don't think about anything but fishing, and with almost no one else out, I'm able to relax more." With the disadvantage of an indoor job,Schmokerfeltthetirne outdoors was needed. "I don't care if I catch anything, but it gives me a chance to be outside," Schmoker said.

"I like to go camping," said Grandick. "My sister and I would make tents in the backyard all the time. I also went camping with my girlfriends in college and my husband loves to go. I love to be outdoors, especially at night. When I'm camping I think of things that need to be done but I'm forced to sit back and relax." Although Grandick and Schmoker had been enjoying the outdoors for as long as they could remember, instructor Larry Argersinger didn't discover how relaxing outdoor activity could be until a few years ago. -------------------.... "Eight years ago I got a physical showing I had high blood pressure and cholesterol," said Argersinger. "I wanted to improve my health, so I started jogging everyday. If I can't jog, I do something outside for myself." Although Argersinger's activity began as a way to improve his health, it soon became a routine. "It's like getting up and brushing my teeth in the morning; it's just automatic, even if I'm out of town," Argensinger said. "By exercising, I get a feeling I can't get any other way. " After handling discipline problems, grading papers, and preparing lessons, many teachers found the outdoors to be their best relief from stress. -Heather Neumann PUMPYOUUP.

SERIOUS GOALTENDING When students got out early one afternoon in November, teachers sat arow1d at school playing with imaginary money. They weren't fantasizing about buying new desks, equipment, technology, or new textbooks. They were spending their imaginary bucks on goals. Teachers dedicated the afternoon to brainstorming and prioritizing goals they wanted the student body to improve on during the next two to three years. To receive an accreditation from the North Ce:ntral Association (NCA), the staff used a new process called Outcomes Accreditation. In the process, the school needed to show goals were set and progress was made toward them. The first step was to conduct a study of student strengths and weaknesses. After the results were reported to the faculty at the first NCA inservice, teachers divided into small groups and brainstormed to find three goals they felt were importantforallstudentstoreach. Every faculty member was given $10 to divide and spend on goals that seemed most important to them. "I can remember that I spent my whole wad on the self directed learner goal," said instructor Linda Smoley, who was co-chair of the NCA. "I think students should be able to look at their work and say, 'This isn't finished. I can make this better.' Instead, students do assignments and turn them in, knowing a teacher will give them back and tell them how to fix them." In addition to the goal of making students more self directed, teachers decided to work on helpTalking It Out. After listening to the committee's report and dividing into groups Chris Wahl and Bill Emsick brainstorm for target areas of improvemen t. (Photo by Danita Voss) ing students become better writers and show each other more respect. "After the goals are approved, we have to write a plan of action," said instructor DougJiskoot, also a co-chair of the NCA. 'We have a few ideas and will meet in the summer to write these out. They can then begin to be implemented in the fall." -Heather Neumann Vonnie Tangeman. Draftin g, Woods 1, Computer Aided Drafting 1-2 Deborah Tettenborn.

(Photo by Gina DiCenzo) 162 • Ads Division I Enticed with promises of an economic boom, citizens of Pottawattamie County overwhelmingly decided in a May 17 referendum to take a gamble on gambling. No wonder voters were bedazzled by the proposal of Harvey's of Lake Tahoe to build a 1,200-passenger riverboat casino, a 15,000-square foot convention center, a 254-room hotel and a $1.5 million sports complex, all on the outskirts of Council Bluffs. For many, including students, thoughts of "We're in the Money" were hard to repress. "I think having the casino will bring more people and business to the county," Kristy Reedy said. "There will be more money to put into the schools and to better our society." Many students disagreed with the ministerial association and community members, who feared the casino would bring crime. "People say we'll have more violence, but there is already growing violence," Sarah Kehm said. "Omaha and Council Bluffs aren't the small rural towns they used to be. With the population growing all of the time, so does violence." In addition to the riverboat casino, residents voted to place more than 100 slot machines at Bluffs Run, assuring anywhere from $15 to $50 million in additional profits for the track. According to Randy Sliva of Bluffs Run, the slots would benefit the track because gambling dollars would stay in the cou nty rather than going north, where slots were already allowed . "We feel that with the riverboat casino, Bluffs Run slots, and the natural historical sites here, Council Bluffs will be an entertainment and tourist attraction in the Midwest," Sliva said. With the prospect of the new floating casino and Bluffs Run slot machines, the phrase "We're in the Money" seemed to be on the minds of gambling promoters, voters, and even students. -Heather Binns We 're in the Money • 163 ,,--- / / / / ··. ·•. · ...... . / / / / · ../ · .. / ··. /··. /·· ·· .... ··./· .. / ... / .. • ..... • .. ... ··. / ·' / / ··. · ..... ... ··. / / / / ... / · ..... · .. ... ... / · .. .. ... ... · .. ··. / ·' / / ... ·•. ... ~ ··. / / / / ... ... ··. • .... / / / / "·/"· ... ··./ ··./·· ...... ... ··. ··. / / / / .. ...

Index • 211 After months of schedule changes and big challenges that caused many to ask, "Now what are we getting into?" end of the year developments caused many to think about getting outta here. The year ended much like it had begun. Temperatures soared to 85 degrees or above 14 times during April and May, and on April 18, the temperature reached a sweltering 93 degrees. The extreme early heat made students dream of getting outta here. Counselors made their annual trips to English classes, where they informed all students they would have to register for eight block classes, including a block P.E., and after the first run of the '94-'95 master schedule, 35 percent of students had schedule conflicts. As seniors heard about the mess, many were thinking, "Thank goodness we're getting outta here." The schedule wasn't the only reason students wanted out. In April they learned unauthorized cars in the lot would be towed at the owner's expense. Underclassmen who had accumulated up to a dozen $5 tickets were suddenly forced to park along Bonham, where police issued $19.50 tickets for illegal parking. "I was mad I got a ticket from the city," Kendra Nemecek said. "My front end was only over the no parking sign a little bit. Even though I had gotten three $5 tickets, I always parked in the lot until they were going to tow." Three veteran teachers were finally getting outta here too. Counselor Richard Reeves, math instructor Orville Miller, and social studies instructor Clarence Smelser retired after serving a combined total of 105 years in the district. "I have feelings of joy and sadness about leaving the school community," Smelser said. "I've loved sharing in the lives of students and faculty." Whether retiring for good or leaving the hassles of a hot classroom or a crowded parking lot for a summer rest, faculty and students alike said, "Thank goodness we're getting outta here." -Heather Binns and Jennifer Kramer 212 • Closing - Reaching out to play in a waterfa ll at the Lied jungle, Tanis Lacey, Holly Wolfe, and Tracey Mulnix spend the day at the zoo March 21.

HURRIED Rushing from Dillards, at one end of the mall, to The Closet at the other, Amy Schaben frantically searched for a dress with only a half hour left before the mall closed. "Jeremy Doyle wasn't planning on going to the dance until he found out he was on court," Schaben said. "I went to Hy-Vee after the r AL vs. Gross game and he was working. Matt Timm pulled me to the aisle Jeremy was in, so he could ask me to the dance. I had heard he wanted to ask me, but I thought he had given up because it was the next night." Schaben was nervous about finding a dress since she would be busy at a swim meet the next day and the only chance she had to shop was the short time before the mall closed at 10 p.m. DECA students may have felt a little rushed, Timm, DECA's president, felt the dance turned out much better than previous ones. "I thought the advertising was well executed, and there was a good turn out," Timm said. "At least 50 more people came than last year, even though many left right after coronation. We made about $500 more from this year's dance than last year." For some, last minute plans came as a result of working extra hours during the Christmas rush. "I worked 35 hours a week during the two weeks of Christmas break and couldn't shop until after I got off of work on Dec. 23, " Erin Wilson said. "I felt stressed because I had so much to buy and I almost ran out of time."

Even though Doyle waited until the last minute to ask Schaben, their date seemed to be a success. "We had.a great time at the dance," Schaben said. "I'm glad we ended up going." Doyle and Schaben weren't the only students who waited until the last minute to plan for the dance.

It was supposed to be free, but we had to pay $20 for tickets because the people who got them for us charged us.

ON GOOD Rolls of tape traveled through the hands of 216 graduating seniors as dozens of them taped bottles of silly string to their arms and legs minutes before the commencement ceremony. But before graduates could march through the doors of the field house, dozens of the bottles were detected and ripped off by instructors who stood by the doors. "A teacher ripped off the bottle I had taped to the upper part of my arm," Nicholle Fastnacht said. "My family was sitting by the door and saw the whole thing. I was so embarrassed. When I sat down, I looked at my arm and there was a huge welt where the tape had been. It stung through the entire ceremony." Dozens of grads complained their secret weapons were painfullyrippedaway as they entered the gym. After a decade of noisy, unruly behavior at commenceEHAVIOR music even played as the seniors received diplomas. For the most part, precautions paid off. "The students behaved a hundred times better than past years," said instructor Carol Tiller, Senior Class sponsor. "I was extremely proud to be a part of the ceremony." Nevertheless, a few seniors managed to smuggle in enough silly string and beach balls needed to make a commotion. Surprisingly, though, they waited until every senior received a diploma and Principal Jim Lake completed a short speech before they celebrated at 9:20 p .m. "I was really shocked that everyone waited until we flipped the tassels to spray silly sting," Jennifer Krach er said.

When she read 113 pounds, her heart sank. As hunger rumbled through her stomach, she fumbled to open a bottle of diet pills. Adkin said she became overly concerned about her weight in junj.or high when she was thrown into a new social environment. "I met a lot of people and wanted to impress them," she said. "Even though people said I looked fine, I didn' t think so." Adkin reached the point where she took four diet pills daily, but ate only one small meal. She also began vomiting involuntarily, fasting for days at a time, and exercising obsessively. "After eating I ran until I was exhausted," she said. "One time I could barely make it in the door before I calla psed and fell asleep." Adkin wasn't the only student to experience the trauma of an eating disorder. Rene Jones* became bulimic to win the approval of her parents. Standing 5'3" and weighing 105 pounds, Jones took drastic steps to lose weight after enduring constant criticism about her looks from her parents. "I wasn't good enough for my parents," she said. "The pressure built up so much I felt like I couldn't control anything but my weight. I made up in my mind that I would stay skinny no matter what. I vomited anywhere from four to five times a day." With support of a friend, Jones brought her bulimia under control without hospitalization, but some weren't so lucky. For Deena Smith*, a bout with bulimia ended in Mercy Hospital. "When I binged, I would eat anything I could," she said. "I ate non-stop. I once ate a bag of chips and a carton of ice cream." To purge the food, she eventually began to vomit between eight and nine times a day. Finally, her brother caught her vomiting after dinner. "I had threatened I would loose weight somehow," Smith said, "even if I killed myself doing it." Smith was admitted to rehabilitation for two and half months. "Being in treatment was hard," she said. "I missed out on a lot." Although she still occasionally got the urge to vomit, Smith felt she had regained control. "Sometimes I want to run to the bathroom," she said, "but my therapist has me on a good diet, and I have it under control." -Nora Greer lt'fhesenames were changed at the request of the sources.

In a poll, one third of the students said they didn' t eat breakfast, and one third said a typical lunch was a cookie or ice cream. "I gave up eating breakfast in eighth grad e," Jones said. "I wanted to get up later because I was tired from gymnastics, and the habit stuck." Jeff Kelly was also an unhealthy eater. His pattern, however, was to ea t cereal for breakfast, fries for lunch, and no supp er. Kelly said he didn' t have time to ea t supper because he went to work directly from school. "Eating's not one of my priorities. " he said. "School, work, and n1oney are."

"I tried to take notes in class, but I was seeing double. Next thing I knew Mr. Lake was there and I was in the office." Petersen was suspended for 10 days, but he agreed to be evaluated by a psychiatrist, which shortened his punishment to five days of suspension. "I was scared what my baseball coaches would say," he said. "I shouldn't have come to school, butwhenyou'redrunk, youdon't care what you do." Although few students came to school drunk, it wasn't unusual to drive drunk. More than 45 percent of seniors and 33 percent of juniors polled admitted to driving under the influence. For Ben Hassett, the fun of driving drunk came to a halt when he got caught. "I got my license revoked until I'm 18, six months probation, 100 hours community work, and I had to attend a course for drug and • Student Life designed by Heather Neuma nn alcohol rehabilitation," he said. Despite all the public service announcements and media a ttention on alcohol related deaths of Omaha teens, an even larger percentage of students admitted to regularly riding with a drunk driver. Polls showed that more than 55 percent of all upperclassmen and more than 40 percent of freshmen had knowingly been passengers in a car with a drunk driver. "It's the spur of the moment thing. You don't think it could be that bad until you actually ride with a drunk driver," Danielle Bennett said. "Besides, they're your friends, you trust them to get you home safely." Many students who had driven under the influence said they knew when they were sober that driving drunk was dangerous, but once the booze kicked in, all their fears disappeared.

After being searched, she had to fill out official forms and stay in a temporary jail cell for three hours. The officials then called her mother to pick her up. "My mom was so mad that she didn't even want to ride in the same car with me, so I had to ride home with my friend's mom," Brown said. But despite being caught and punished by her parents, Brown continued to shoplift. "I shoplift about once a month to get free things," she said. "I'm not really scared of getting caught." Brown was not the only student caught committing illegal acts. Out of 170 students polled, 32 said they had been caught for either shoplifting or vandalizing, but of those caught, half were given no more than a warning. Such lack of harsh punishment encouraged some students to break the law without fear of getting caught. With nothing better to do on As adults quit, more teens enjoy. . .

"By 2 a.m. the floor of the food area is really greasy, so I put degreaser on the whole floor, then hand scrub and squeegee it. When I'm done, it's about 3 a.m. and I'm really tired so I go home to bed." Mass said one thing that made late nights pass easily was friendliness among co-workers. "Sometimes I think of other things I could be doing," she said, "but I get along with everyone, and they cheer me up." Mass agreed with 59 percent of employed students polled that friendship among co-workers was important to job satisfaction. In contrast with Mass, Mandi Ziegler, a cashier at an Amoco gas station, found her job a drag due to lack of co-workers. "There's absolutely no one to talk to because it's only me and the mechanic," she said. "He's back doing his thing, so if there are no customers, I have nothing to do but guard the register."

Dawson admitted working late hours took a toll on his performance at school, but like many others, he said his work didn't suffer much. "I think if a teacher knows a student has a job, he'll be lenient with the work and let them get away with more," Dawson said. Some teachers agreed they were more lenient with working students but didn't feel that lowering standards was right. "Education used to be about the three R's and ABC's . Now it's dominated by the two D's: delete and delute," instructor Mary Gepner said. "We take from what we used to teach and water it down to make it easier, mostly because students are working." While some found working long hours at night made things harder the next day, Shawna Becker found her hours at the Red Lion Inn suffocating not only her work, but also her social life.

Having time for friends was no problem for AubriForrester, who worked 10hourweeksatHy-Vee. "I like my job and the money." she said.

He taps the horn and comes to the door. He is greeted by your anticipating expression and the hesitant look of your parents. Maybe he does look a little older than you had said. He hands you a bouquet of flowers and your mother a rose. He shakes your dad's hand and exchanges small talk. Then you leave for your date. Many girls said they would die for· a date like that, but most seemed to think only an older guy could pull it off. "Older guys have cars, jobs, and money that make it easier for them to take you out," Mellow Ackerman said. "They can stay out later without having to answer to their parents. Younger guys have to find rides and need to tell parents everything." Although money and cars were important, girls said the best thing about dating older guys was the respect they gave their dates.

According to more than 65 percent of students polled, most parents remained calm about accepting a dating age difference. Amber Duncan, 17, and her boyfriend Russ, 25, dated for about two years after they met over their personal computers. Despite the difference, her parents didn't seem too concerned. "There had to come a time when Russ would meet my parents," Duncan said. "He came over and things went well. They talked to him and then we went to a movie. My parents just told me they thought he was a little old. At first, they made us go out with other couples because they didn't want us alone, but we eventually went out alone." Even though many girls were attracted to older guys, most agreed only a guy who treated them right was worth dating. -Erin Summy !IE!P/11/(/ OtfT.

ABIG A IDS, sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancies, and the desire for self resp ect--these forces convinced a growing number of sh1- d ents to remain abstinent. Forty-seven percent of boys and 53 percent of girls polled said they were virgins. ''I've decided to stay a virgin until I'm m arried ," Colette Johnson said. "It's mostly because of my belief in God." She also didn' t want to disappoint her parents or herself. "It's too emotionally difficult for a teen to have sex," Johnson said. "That's a big commitment and it makes it hard to break up." Although Johnson was not embarrassed about her virginity, it wasn ' t som e thing sh e would scream off the top of a building. "There is pressure from the outside," Johnson said, "but I also think p eople respect my decision." Jason Schlotman said he felt no pressure to have sex before he was read y. "Remaining a virgin is a value I picked up from my family," said Schlotman, whose mother became pregnant when she was only 17. "She had plans to go to college, but ended up being a waitress for Break-ups can start . .. HO ICE a while. She had a hard tim e with two kids and one income." Schlotman said he didn' t want to make the same mistake and hoped to stay a virgin until he was married. Other students who had become sexually active regretted it. "The person I had sex with, I didn't love," Dawn H artley said . Realizing that she had made a mistake, Hartley decided to wait until marriage to have sex again. "You should only have sex with the one you 're going to spend the rest of your life with," she said. Before Jillian Kading and her boyfriend started having sex, they discussed the issue openly. "We talked about all the consequences," Kading said. "We discussed how we would handle it if I ever got pregnant." Kading felt not everyone was mature enou gh to deal with sex. "A lot of people just do it because they want to or feel they have to," Kading said. "They would have no idea what to do if they got pregnant or got AIDS." Although many were not concerned abou t the dangers of sex, a growing number had decided to hold on to their chastity belts just a little longer in today's "everyone is doing it" society. -Sa rah Scheer lifetime of friendshi After telling her boyfriend of a year that their rela tionship was over, Dan ielle Bennett figured she would never see him again, but soon the phone started ringing, and the hellos in the hall became more frequent. "It took a couple weeks before we started talking again," Bennett said, "but I'm glad because I would rather be friends than never talk to him again ." Many realized how much they missed the friendship of their ex and found themselves calling each other shortly after the break-up. "When my boyfriend broke up with me," Ka tie O'Connor said, "I couldn't hold a grudge against him. I'm just a forgiving person." Missing the closeness of a friendship kept some in touch. "He listened to me and gave me good advice when 1 had some family problems," Julianna Dodson said. "It didn't work as a relationship, but we cared too much not to remain best friends." Like Dodson, many students found that even though a romantic relation hip didn't work out, a friendship could continue to thrive. -Li 'n Bemer Love Notes • art by Katie Harrill THINGS "1~tu~­ tai,~de- ~4~~ WE de~endetu SAID ado«tal~ 46~U#te<t~ C4ptta.t punu~­ ~ i4, t6e ~ ABOUT THE JORI ES JI,,.~,,·,,,,.,.,,// ~~· ,, OF OUR DAY -~ed~~ Strucl< Out Eighth strike in 23 years cancels World Series For the first time in 40 years, the World Series was canceled.

The 24- 17 victory over Miami in the Fed Ex Orange Bowl gave the Huskers a 13-0 season and Coach Tom Osborne his first national championship. The victory was sweeter since the team prevailed despite Tommie Frazier being out nearly all season with a reoccurring blood clot in his leg and back up quarterback Brook Berringer missing games with a collapsed lung. Q Should Tommie Frazier have been able to start the Orange Bowl? Baby Boom Time magazine reported that every year half a million teenagers have babies with half dropping out of school and entering a downward spiral into poverty. Republican sponsored legislation would deny benefits to unmarried mothers under the age of 18, eliminating payments for some 4.5 million children. In President Clinton's plan, every mo th er would be required to identify the child's father before she could collect welfare. Fathers who failed to pay child support would have their drivers' license revoked. Q Do you think welfare for unwed mothers under 18 should be denied? A "No, because Brook Berringer had been playing most of the season while Tommie Frazier was injured . I don't think they would have made it to the Orange Bowl w ithout Brook Berringer playing in the first place." "Yes, because Tommie Frazier is a good quarterback.

Explosion of Terror Oklahoma City bombing kills 167 and shocks the nation One minute workers were going about the usual business of the day at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City, and the next, their lives were blown apart. A crudely made bomb of fuel and fertilizer exploded at 9:02 a.m. April 19, ripping a crater from the street to the roof of the ninestory building and causing concrete to collapse in a roar to the street. Rescue efforts began immediatedly. Police, firefighters, National Guard troops, nurses, doctors, and volunteers risked their lives in the unstable building for 16 days. Rescue workers walked out for the last time May 5. The bomb killed 168 people, includng three adults whose bodies were not recovered until after total demolition of the building. Nineteen of the victims were children. Less than 48 hours after the bombing, the nation was shocked to learn the bomb was made by American citizens, not international terrorists. The first arrested suspect, Timothy McVeigh, was found in jail on charges of driving an unregistered car and carrying an unregistered handgun. Arrested an hour after the bombing, McVeigh was to have been free d from jail hours before he was turned over to the FBI in connection with the bombing. McVeigh and his army buddy, Terry Nichols, faced the death penalty if convicted of the bombing, but the search continued for other suspects. Following the bombing, President Clinton said the hateful talk of right wing extremists fueled the violent feelings toward the government that led to such crimes against innocent people.

Amedure, a homosexual, went on the show to reveal his crush on a man he had met in his apartment complex. Schmitz had agreed to come on the show to meet a secret admirer, whom he assumed was a woman. Although he remained calm on the show, Schmitz later said he was shocked when Amedure was introduced as his admirer. Jones stated that all guests knew the secret admirers could have been members of the same or opposite sex. Television commentators said talk shows had deteriorated into a world of sleaze where people expose weird personal experiences to millions of viewers. Q How do you feel about the topics on talk shows, and do you think they show corruption of our society? A "I definitely think society is corm pt and talk shows display the truth to a point. Some talk shows cover good topics that are important, but others have lost sight of quality programming." ~~aiifu "Some sho.,vs are realistic and related to everyday life, but others are like tabloids.

(Photo by Heather Olson) E erie darkness clung to the enormous Four Seasons Auditorium in Cedar Rapids where 11 girls lay on the cold hard floor and thought about the state tournament that would take place later that day. "I thought about how big it was and how far it was from one side of the court to the other," Sara Borman said. "We hadn't practiced or even held a ball for two days and we were limited on practice time." For Brandi Christie, the tournament was the last time she would compete with the team. "Going to State was a good way to end the year and my high school career," she said. "We had a good team, and I'm glad we got that reward for all our hard work." The girls battled Clinton for a 2-2 tie going into the fifth and final game, when the Lady Lynx held theiropponents to a 14-10 lead until Clinton came back with some powerful serves to bring the score to 14-15. "It was like in a movie when a scene is in slow motion," Christie said. "I was in the front row and I saw the girl go up to svvipe the ball, butit waslikeit wasn't really happening." As the ball was tipped over the net and the final point decided, the girls remained paralyzed as they slowly realized it was all over. "We were frozen," Courtney Heuwinkel said. "We couldn't believe it. We were ahead 14-10 and vve let them do it. Everybody's heads just dropped and most of us cried. We went outside to wait to go back to the hotel, and everyone started screaming at the top of their lungs. Through the whole night, the team talked about what we should have done and why we lost." S taring in awe, the fans gasped as the Lady Lynx smashed the ball in the faces of the Millard North team ye t again to bring the score to a devastating 15-0. "People came up to me after the game and asked me why we beat them so bad when they were supposed to be so good," Tonia Tauke said. "The Millard North team just fell apart. Our adrenaline was running high and we were working together really well because we wanted to win this game so much." In the following games, the girls hammered their opponents, winning by 15-1 and then 15-13. For a handful of the girls, the motivation was stronger than the usual game. "Some of us played under the Millard North coach on our River City teari1," Tauke said. "She is so intimidating and she tries to play mind games with us. I wanted to win this game as revenge on her for all the wayssheputusdown when we played for her. I wanted to show her that a program that has fun and plays well is better than one thatis hard and not enjoyable." But Christine Lam expressed mixed feelings about the victory against the girls from Millard North. "Even though we wanted revenge, personally I fel t bad because of the way she would treat her players," Lam said. "I knew she would take her anger out on them and I knew how that felt. Mr. May tells us what we do well and what we can do to improve. He gets his idea across and is still helpful and sincere."

With sweat dripping off weary faces, the boys sat in silence on the locker room b enches. Holding Bellevue West to 28 points and scoring in the first half pushed spirits to new heights as they listened to Coach Wahl's instructions. "First half we played with a lot of emotion," Ryan Brown said. "We were read y on offense to score first before the opponents. Our defense was pumped up because they hadn't been scored on after the first quarter. We were all excited because we scored in the first half on a powerhouse Metro tea1n." l Al thou gh the game was going well, the team knew it wasn't over yet. "Coach told us not to g ive up yet," Brian Anderson said. "He told us not to curl up and die. Our spirits were high and we kept trying to help each other stay enthusiastic." However, the team's high expectations fell short in the third quarter. The Thunderbirds' offense suddenly errupted, leaving the Lynx's defense behind. "Once Bellevu e got momentum, it was hard for us to get it back," Dan Mohatt said . "Defen - sively we were missing tackles and we were just worn down, and our offense couldn't get the ball moving like w e did in the first half.

Amy Schaben, Joann Dan burg, Rosanne Schwarz, and Marie Wickman sp ent a wild night before their state meet a t Fort Dodge. "We were bored at the hotel so we started d oing things to keep us busy," Danburg sa id . "We turned everything in the roo m , including th e tables and chairs and the T.V., upside d own. We stayed awake until about midnight ea ting cheese balls and bread ed mushrooms that we ordered from the ho tel restaurant." According to Schwarz, the girls had been warned to b e o n th e ir best behavior because of how badly they had teepeed their coaches' room at Districts, but the warning didn't keep them from making a mess of their own room. "The four of us were ga th ered around the bathroom sink shaving," Wickman said. "We got shaving cream all over the mirror and the floor. Later, we started throwing rolls of toilet paper around--we pretty much teepeed the whole entire roo1n." But the nig ht was young and there was more fun to be had . According to Schaben, the girls had a fruit fight with oranges and grapefruit before they finally decided to settle d own and rest for the big day ahead. Despite the wild night, the girls swam hard and finished 22nd out of 65. Any old tean1 could get together at a senior's house for a nice pasta dinner, but only the boys' swim team would turn tha t pasta dinner into a head shaving party. When Tim White, Chad Holmes, Marshall Steffensen, and Shaun Hayes got together, they knew that shaving their head s would cut their swimming time by about five seconds, but they wanted more than decreased times--they wanted to get a reaction.

However, Steffensen, who probably received the strangest do, said the other gu ys kept shaving more and more hair off and creating new styles until his hair was completely gone. "We put different styles into Marshall's hair, like a mohawk and a monk look, " Hayes said. "I had a Superman symbol, but I shaved it off before Districts."

I guess tha t proved that we got overconfidentandtl1ey wanted it more than we did." Varsity goal keeper Jennifer Hansen said the team had a difficult time executing its game plan. "At the beginning of the game we were focusing on our offense, so our d efense letup a little, and that was all it took for LC to score two goals," she said. "If one thing wasn't failing, some thing else was. We just couldn't get it together." But hopes of capturing a city soccer title weren't entirely d ashed. "We're a really young team. Most people on our team have played together since they were seven or eight," Driggins said. "We're losing only three seniors, so I think a city title in the future isn't out of our reach."

"When we're standing in line for drills and warm-ups, w e talk about things like families and boyfriends." Fun and friendships proved to be part of a potent combination for the successful JV squad, w hich finished the season 11-4-5, the best JV record in school history .

"When my teacher lectures for an hour and a half, it's really hard for me to keep my eyes open," Hunter said. "When I start drifting off, he often calls on me. It makes me feel bad because I don't know what's going on." Loss of concentration while teachers lectured was one of the biggest problems students found with the 90-minute all block schedule. In a poll of 171 students, only 21 preferred the schedule. "The attention span for the average American teenager is only 38 minutes," Alison Eggers said. "I really think that the administration needs to take a step back and look at the situa tion from the student's point of view." Other students found they had difficulty remembering assignments and explanations over the extra day between classes. "When I have math on Thursday and don't have it again until Monday, my notes don't make any sense when I do my homework," Caroline McSorley said. Some teachers found forgotten assignments were not the only problem. According to Robert Pettepier, ma th instructor w ho helped in the attendance office, skipping, absences, and truancies d efinitely increased this year. "I think the extended period of • Clubs & Classes designed by Jennifer Kracher time is the reason more students skip," Larry Kenny, history instructor said. "In two blocks you can drive to Des Moines and back." The only major advantage students found with block classes was off campus P.E. "With off campus P.E. we were able to do things that were not available at school," Katie Malmberg said. "It seems to make the day go by faster ." Off campus activities included golf, bowling, use of Y.M.C.A. facilities, roller skating, aerobics, bicycling, hiking, archery, self defense, fishing, and canoeing. "I do like the blocks in classes like science, art, and P.E.," Jason Westphal said. "I like the longer classes because I have more time to do hands-on assignments and talk to my teachers, and I have less homework to take home." All in all, sixty-seven percent of students polled said a mixed schedule with some 45-minute calsses and some 90-minute classes would be the best compromise. Jeff Kalar summed up the feelings of many students when he said "Classes like P.E are great beca~se on the block we have more time to actually do things, but in math and foreign language we need the repetition of every day classes." • Crasl1 landing.

The ba sic requirements for the world history task consisted of writing a Greek play, casting ro les, des i gning costumes, building scenery, and performing the play. "The tasks were a lot more difficult than a regular assignm ent," Cameron sai d . "A l ot of the time we were int eracting with a vari e ty of stud ents, so we h ad to t a ke everyo ne's ideas and pull th em toget h er to make a finished project." History was n ' t the only class in which stud ents had to comp lete a performance based task. "For calculus, we had to wri te example problems using interest rates and create o ur own c hap ter like yo u'd find in a regular m ath book," Chris Reese said. "We h ad to make sure that we included every little detail and step in our examples." Before stud ents began performance based tasks, detailed instructions were given and a specific s t andard of grading, called a rubric, was established. "We we re given very explicit instructions and were graded in several areas on a 4,3,2,1 sca le, with a 4 meaning th at we had successfully demonstrated an outcome," H eather Aughe said. "I felt confident knowing the teacher's expectations before actually begi1rning the tasks." In an Oral Communications class, stud ents were assigned the task of developing a pil ot s how for a new childr e n's television series. "Our target audience was children between the ages of 6 and 12 years o ld, and it had to be entertaining as well as educationa l," Wendy Troff said. The students were then given a role to play, such as a producer, videograp her, prop manager, costume designer, or actor. "Everyo ne really worked together as a team to get the script written and th eir own jobs done," Troff said. "Our finished product con t ained a title, music, sound effects, a set, costumes, and closing credits." Overall, students felt that completina such tasks was essential for 0 entering the real world. "T he old style tes ts don ' t get you anywhere," Aughe said, "but with the tasks you actually step into a role for a specific job and take on the r e spon - sibilities a nd difficulties that come with that job."

Biology students slipped wands past clear plastic vials filled with energetic fruit flies. previous class p eriod, but then the class turned into an hour of lecturino- o After the flies reacted to the anesthetic, the students carefully placed them on a microscope, moving quickly enough to count the number of male and female, w hite and wild combinations. A combination of complicated tasks like the genetic fruit fly lab and tests over massive amounts of material distinguished the seven advanced placement courses from others. In addition to five-page labs and two-page formal lab write-ups, A.P. Biology students took a test every two weeks over three or four chapters of more than 100 pages. To help stud ents understand reading material, they were given a five-page packet and were ad vised to spend three hours out of class studying to every hour spent in class. "I spend more time out of class working on A.P. Biology than I have in any class," Brian Norman said. "I read all the chapters that go along with the next test. It takes about an hour to read one section of the chapter. When Mr. Forsee lectures, I take lots of notes, and I sp end about an hour studying the chapter and my notes on the night before the test." A.P. Biology was not the only course w hich required hard work and extra time outside of school. According to Erik Edwards, A.P. Calculus students started each session like a regular ma th class in which they checked assignments from the and note taking. "Because the concepts are more ad vanced and complicated, it may take me a couple of days to understand how to do it," Edwards said. "We get about 30 problems to work on every day, but we get only a little bit of class time to work on them. The simple problems take only a minute or two, but the harder ones take me up to 10 minutes. I spend about half an hour a night studying for tests." Tasks and tests also challenged A.P. History students. In one assignment, they were required to create a character from a historical period and write a journal from that character's point of view. Although that task required thought and creativity, those who chose to take the A.P. test found it to be the most challenging part of the course. "The test had 80 multiple choice questions which were over 200 years of history, and there were three essay questions." Dawn Coulter said. "We got out of first and second block to take it." A.P. classes could bring abou t sleepless nights and challenging days, but students felt they were worth it. "It's a good idea to take an A.P. class if you plan to go to college," Nate O'Toole said, "because it gives you an idea of what college might be like."

For Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) students, d esigning house plans became a reality. "We were basically on our own," Saar said. "We had to create and design every thing about our house, including the windows, doors, stairs, kitchen, and bathroom." The five-week project required much research . "We used books with samples of various house plans that showed us how to begin our own houses," Justin Ruby said. As students went along, they found there was a lot more to designing rooms than just drawing little squares and putting labels on them. "At times it got difficult," Adam Tanner said. "When we were designing the bedrooms, we had to make sure there was room for at least a single bed, dresser, and closet space." CAD students felt this class prepared them for college or an occupation in some field of technology. W ith clay gun in hand, Sarah Stevens • began to sculpt hair follicles on the miniature head she had created in her ceramic class. Students began this project with only a lump of clay, rolling pins, and metal sculpting tools. "It was difficult trying to make a round face and mold facia l features like the nose, eyes, and hair," Stevens said. Techniques such as coiling, carving, and working on the wheel were tau ght before students began their projects. "After we learned some of the techniques, w e sculpted a pot, a head, a car, and a candy dish," Joanna Hanke said, "but the head was the hardest because we had to mold the eyes and nose to look like a real face." Many students agreed that the class w as m ore than they had bargained for. "It was hard going into a class like ceramics because I had never tried it before," Hanke said. "It got easier as I went on and go t to work with the clay. Now it seems more like an extracurricular activity than an actual class." • Clubs & Classes designed by Jennifer Kracher • Mecl1anicallLI inclinecl.

While it was a nice day outside, the pressure of an upcoming deadline was building inside. Facing printer back-ups, computer shutdowns, lost or unfinished stories and layouts, and a broken waxer, the two editors needed to get away. "We climbed through the windows and onto the ledge to enjoy one of the first nice days of the year," Harrill said. On the last four days before a final printer deadline, it was common for editors to still be staring at their computer screens long past midnight. "A week before deadline you basically have to drop everything to get stories placed and pages laid out," editor Joanne Whalen said. "I even had to take a computer home once to get all the work done." Despite their stress, Echoes staffers had many successes, winning 4 awards in the National Gold Circle contest, 21 in two state contests, 6 from the National Quill and Scroll, and 13 from UNO. W ithout taking time to set her books • down, Courtney Brummer ran into Room 234 yelling, "Smoley, we have to talk! There is so much more to this story!" A week earlier, Echoes staffers discussed ideas for their first issue and decided to do a follow up story on the bond issue that failed in June. "Everybody had a story assigned to them, including me, but I said I would do it with som.eone," Brummer said, "and Jason Steger said he would help me. A group of us went to Carter Lake school first, then to Tee Jay, but it wasn't until after w e went to Pusey that I got upset." The reporters saw horribly crowded classrooms and inefficient heating and cooling systems at Pusey. "I just about keeled over," Brummer said. "The rooms were so small and hot, and the library was in the hallway; it was awful. I was upset and happy all at the same time. I was upset because I hated seeing how limited an education the kids were getting, but happy because I could show the community what they had turned down." After finishing the first story and turning the bond issue into a series for the Echoes, Brummer w ent on to win many awards, including the Iowa H igh School Journalist of the Year. • Clubs & Classes designed by Jennifer Kracher ...

The room was silent except for the clicking of computer keys and a soft w hisper. The tension was so thick it could be cut w ith a knife. Suddenly, out of now here, Jill Hunter, an editor on the o ther side of the room, blurted out, "Jen, how was your ho t date this weekend?" Shouts of laughter filled the room as Kracher, the editor-in-chief, blushed, giggled, and began the humorous story of her blind date. The staff found tha t little things could change the entire mood . "When you're busy a t deadline and your friends aren't, they can be a big help," Sarah Scheer said. "Just d oing little things helps a lot, but it helps most when they make you lau gh as the stress builds up."

She wasn't able to scream before the two cars collided - because it wasn't in the script. The "collision" h ad to be repeated four times to get the angles just right. Those shots would be edited until a commercial masterpiece was formed for Montang Auto Body Shop, earning the Insider $30. Barker said they wanted the two cars to run into one another, but they didn't know exactly how to do it. Finally, an idea sprang to mind. Barker sat in the passenger seat filming the scene while Muehlig drove her car and Ben Lake drove toward them in Barker's car. "No one cared because the cars were already dented," Barker said. "There was a lot of space between us, although it didn't look like it." This was the fist year the staff produced commercials, so when adviser Marsha Grandick brought it up, Barker used the body shop commercial as a way to prove she could take on ad production. "I was excited because it turned out just like I wanted," she said. I t started out as a simple mission for Insider staffers Matt Jennings, Tim Wright, and Ben Roth. Seek and shoot a National Guard Armory. But the unsuspecting teens had no idea what was in store. When Roth was assigned a story on ROTC, he wanted to film at the Armory, and Jennings and Wright went along. When they arrived, they didn't want to get in trouble, so they followed a UPS man inside. "We saw a guy dressed in camoflage and shiny shoes," Jennings said. "We asked to talk to someone. I knew then we were in for it." A recruiter then came and invited the boys into his office. "He took u s further and further into the place," Jennings said . "I started wardering if we'd ever get out." The recruiter admitted not knowing about ROTC, so he filled them in on the Guard and had them sign card s. Roth didn't know what h e was signing, but he found out la ter when a recruiter called him. "I'm glad the card was just for info," he said. "But he keep s calling and wanting to set up an appointment to talk to me. He asks a lot of questions. I tell him the Guard's not for me, but he doesn't listen." Roth said he never got to film that armory, so a couple days later he went to the recruiter's office in the mall and completed his mission . • Clubs & Classes ~ designed by Jennifer Kracher •Close-up.

She knew she had to convince the judge that she was innocent. For the mock trial team, Morris played the role of Jerry Ryan, a young person accused of abusing an elderly cousin. • "I was supposed to be a free-loader in trouble with the law," Morris said. "I couldn't help but let my own personality show, and I think that helped my character seem more innocent." But as Morris tried to prove her innocence, her teammate, Jennifer Ridgway tried just as hard to prove Morris' guilt. "It was difficult to prove the defendent guilty because the case was stacked against the prosecution," Ridgway said. "The evidence was circumstancial and the facts didn' t prove anything." Although Morris was finally found guilty, the team's final place was based on performances, rather than legal merits. "One time this guy kept asking me the same question over and over," Stephen Freilinger said. "It was annoying, but I got more points for keeping my composure." With all the convicting and defending, the mock trial team placed first at Districts and eleventh a t State. Turning the key in the ignition again, Coach Jane Nelson tried hopelessly to get the Budget Rental van started after a speech and debate competition in Omaha. "Miss Nelson kept asking everyone if we did anything to the van," Jeff Marsh said. "She asked us all about three times." Finally, Nelson decided to call Budget Rental for road service, but all their workers had been sent home. Meanwhile, the members ran back and forth across the street to a bowling alley. Later they learned N elson's parents had driven up and down the same street looking for them. "We waited and they never showed," Jamie Blaha said. "We weren't sure what to do, so we called Jessie Morris's and Jennifer Ridgway's parents. Finally, after an hour and a half, they all came." Allin all it was a night from hell.

At Regionals, the team's project, a vaudeville skit, included singing, juggling, and ventriloquism .. Because the team hadn't practiced the entire skit, it went three minutes over the eight-minute limit. "We didn't work as hard as possible, and we slacked a lot because we thought of Regionals as practice for State," Ben Nourse said. "I was disappointed when I found out it wasn't a sure thing." Through the year, the students had been told by their coach they would automatically qualify because of the lack of high school teams. But instead, the team was penalized 90 points because of the extra time and finished in last place. The second team from AL actually finished with negative points, but because they were the only team in their division, they qualified for State, where they finished fourth. "We had 44 points, but 65 were deducted," Erik Edwards said. "It was unbelievable that we went under and still qualified." Despite the mediocre finishes, the vaudeville team members said they would do it again. "Sometimes we'd work 15 to 20 hours a week on it," Nourse said, "but I like the creativity and the challenge in it." ''What does a bun have to do with the • First An1end1nent?" Concentrating on memorizing the five parts of the first amendment, Academic Decathlon members told Beth Hansen that a hamburger bun would help. Amendment One, they said, rhymed with bun, so they drew a picture of a bun. The hamburger in it was divided into five sections, one for each of the five rights. "Amendment Two, the right to bear arms, rhymed with shoe," Hansen said. "We drew a gun upside down to look like a shoe." The group used such word associations to _memor~ e facts of government, art, science, and other topics tested m D1stncts. "At first I thought it was really dumb ~d it wasn' t going to stick," said Kate Gronstal one of the 13 Academic Decatha.lon members. "I was pretty amazed' when it worked and I remembered everything."

"I thought the lock-in was the most fun thing we've done as a group this year," Sarah Bragg said. "It gave us a chance to have fun with people we sometimes get really competitive with." Most members felt it gave them a chance to get to know fellow members on a more personal level. "When I first started concert choir, I felt kind of out of place with the upperclassmen," Jayne Dawson said. "But after I wentto the sleepover, I got to know everyone and I felt more a part of the group." Some found the gathering was not only a bonding experience, but a chance to enjoy a variety of activities. "You could play volleyball, watch movies in different rooms, sing on the karaoke machine, or stay up until 2:30 a.m. sharing gh ost stories in the courtyard," Breanne Schweer said. "It w as so awesome because you could do basically whatever you wanted." I magine getting your dress caught in your • pantyhose or having your pant seams split while performing for an audience of 40 people. Such embarrassing moments were common among New Design Show Choir performances. "I did a Russian during our first performance," Tom Jen sen said. "When I was done, I heard something rip, and I thought it was my pants, but I kept singing and tried not to draw any attention to myself. After the performance I asked everyone if my pants were split, and they said no. I was relieved, but something still felt wrong. Finally, I figured out my boxer shorts h ad split open." Some said they weren't as fortunate as Jensen had been. "I was singing at the Show Choir Reunion," Danna Kehm said. "Somehow my dress got stuck in my p antyhose. I performed the entire show without realizing I was exposing my butt to the whole audience." All choir members dreaded such flushed filled moments, but they realized it was just part of the risk they took as avid performers. "Everyone messes up, "Kim Bolton said. "You just keep going, no matter what happens. Like they say, the show must go on."

"Other teams looked perfect because they came straight from their busses, but we were all wet and muddy after our first p erformance. Color guard girls are supposed to be beautiful and glamorous, but we were far from it!" After slipping in the mud, Denise Olmstead felt anything but glamorous. "I was running during the routine and I hit a muddy spot, slipped, and fell to my knees," she said. "Luckily, I made a quick recovery, but I still felt extremely stupid." Despite all the wet hair and muddy clothes, the color guard managed to get a Division I rating at LC. Trailing after the already performing marching band, Josh Eveloff was pushed onto the field by band mothers after they plopped his large band hat, stuffed with socks and gloves, back on his head . "They told me, 'Go! You can catch up if you hurry!' about a minute after the band had started," said Eveloff, whose hat had a h abit of falling down and covering his eyes. Getting dressed in their uniforms was an interesting and difficult process for some band members. "You have to teach the freshmen, sometimes even dress them," Jason Lehmer said. "There was a certain order to dress in, and if you forgot one thing, you had to take everything off." For som , dressing was v n a dangerous pro ess. "Anna Barron was jumping around trying to get her pants on when she slipped and hit her knee on a table," Richard Halse said. "An ambulance came and took her to the hospital h alf-dressed." Tired of wearing the same old uniforms every year, veteran drum majors found ways to spice up their appearances. "Matt Timm, Jeff Koontz, and I all war box rs under our white pants," Dan Dawson said. "yvhile we were directing, everyone could see the Mickey Mouse and polka-dot sh orts through the uniforms."

Many thoughts ran through their minds before they met the family they were about to spend the night with at the Music Festival in Beatrice. • "We had to sleep in an old scary attic," Jurgens said. "We heard noises, and an old rocking chair gave us the creeps. We finally ended up falling asleep at 5:30 a.m. and having to get up at 6:30 a.m." A scary home wasn't the problem for Jeff Meredith, Erik Edwards, and Mike Mcintosh, but they found their host brother a little eerie. "The family was friendly, with the exception of the son," Meredith said. "The whole time we were there, he didn't say a word. On his door there was a poster of a bloody swastika. He stayed in his room listening to the first 10 seconds of the same CD over and over again." While some braved the nights with host families, Jenny Burgess and Sarah Stevens chose to rent a hotel room. "Sara's dad came to Beatrice with us to see the final concert. He rented the rooms for us," Burgess said. "It was pretty fun; we didn't do much besides watch TV and play card games." Whether they stayed in strange old houses or got their own room, all the musicians got up the next morning and played in the festival. E xchanging their dew soaked sneakers, grungy sweatshirts, and mud-caked jeans from marching band season, musicians slid into clingy formal dresses, high heels, tuxes, and wingtips for the band's annual dinner concert April 1. "During the fall when we are marching, we get used to seeing everyone in sweats and tennis shoes," Jessica Powers said. "When I arrived at school, I hardly recognized anybody. You never get to see people you're with everyday look so sophisticated." Musicians were amazed not only with their own transformation, but also with the gym's transformation into a lavishly decorated candlelit restaurant depicting the theme "A Night in Hollywood." But students Jeff Koontz and Lane Knauss felt the concert wouldn't have happened without the help of a few dedicated people. "About five or six parents and students worked a total of 20 hours two days before," Koontz said. "It was hard work, but well worth the satisfaction we felt when people were amazed at what we had done." Orchestra & Jazz Band written by Jenni Underwood • Going to extremes, actors and mimes As Naomi Leiserowitz stepped into the • crowded gym of Wilson Junior High, her stomach tightened and her hands began to shake. After receiving a Division 1 rating at Regionals, her mime duet had made it to State to perform a skit entitled "Cycle of Abuse." As Leiserowitz and partner Colette Johnson began their skit, they glanced at their judges and recognized one female judge from Regionals. "I was really nervous when I realized we had that judge again," Leiserowitz said. "She never seemed to notice what we were doing. All she would do was just write notes. I never could understand how she knew what to write because we're mimes, and you have to watch us." But the girls were determined to catch the attention of their distracted judge. When the skit reached its climax, they paused for a moment until the judge looked up. Although the duet received a Division II rating at the competition, they were pleased, considering it w as the troope' s first year at State. As Mike Bauerly slowly read the note • that was handed to him, he smiled, thankful for the w ish of good luck from instructor Wes McMains. It was the opening night for "Ten Little Indians," the first ever AL production which had two casts, one of students, and one of teachers. Although at first it was doubtful the two casts would be able to break down the teacher I student barrier, it was obvious by opening nigh t that these casts were as close as any other w hen the teachers showed up bearing gifts and wishing luck to the students. "On opening night the teachers gave the student who had the same role as them a gift," said Nichole VanWinkle, a member of the student cast. "Mrs. Rodrigez and I both played a cook, so she gave me a cook book Inscribed in the cookbook w as a note of good luck and best wishes." Along with gifts and notes, the casts supported each other by attending each other's shows. "I knew they w ould l;>e there opening night because our director, Jim Wood, told u s we were supposed to go to every show," Bauerly said, ''bu t I wasn't expecting them to bring gifts. It w as neat because that was when everyon e realized how far w e had come in getting closer than any of us ever expected." • Clubs & Classes designed by Jennifer Kracher T •At All-State, mime Kehry Lane performed "Prisoner of His Past" and earned an outstanding rating. • The mime troupe performed four skits and received three I ratings and one II rating at state competition.

"The bus kept going and stopping, going and stopping," Stacey Knauss said. "Luckily, the driver was able to fix it, but we were still scared because we didn't know if it would break down again." Afraid to take any chances, the members called for another bus after successfully making it to a truck stop. "The truck stop had everything, from stereoes to teddy bears," Bridget Hannan said. Once there, students called their parents to talk about the ride. "We laughed about it once we realized we'd be okay," Knauss said. "We finally got home around two that morning." Although that ride didn't go well, the year overall turned out great for nine members, who later placed at the state conference. Vanessa Dingman even qualified for the national conference, making it the eleventh straight year an AL shident qualified for the co'mpetition. Very seldom do people go to the grocery • store, fill two carts with groceries, fail to pay for them, and then put them all back. But this is exactly what 43 Trades and Industries students did when they went to Hy-Vee to learn how to shop smart. Students pretended to shop for a family of four, including two parents and two kids, ages 12 months to 15 years. First, students made up a daily meal chart. Then they bought groceries from their list. Steve Butts said making a menu wasn't bard at all. "It was pretty much your basic necessities," he said. "Just milk, eggs, and meat, but we had to make sure we had a variety." Sh1dents found out that groceries were expensive. "Kids had two cart fulls with totals up to $180," Butts said. "The lowest total for two carts was $120." After getting all their food, students had to put their groceries back. "It took a lot longer to put the stuff away," Elizabeth Opal said, "because we had to remember where everything went." Students enjoyed shopping without having to pay, but they learned how expensive a week's groceries could be when feeding a family.

THE FAClS Blood drive, bugs make council members a ittle ueas A s students walked down the hallway to • the big gym, they were suddenly stopped by a black gate in front of the concession stand and a pair of important authority figures-the blood drive security guards. The guards were needed to keep students out of the gym who weren't there to give blood, but when Mike Todd and Mike McCarthy took on the job, they made it a little more interesting. "We made the job more fun by acting like we were very serious about it," Todd said. "We made cardboard badges for ourselves. We paced the halls outside of the gym. Every time someone started toward the gym, we would open the gate and ask to see their I.D. and their signed pass to make sure they were supposed to be there." According to McCarthy, kids would have been in the gym eating cookies if it hadn't been for him and Todd keeping them out. "We were obnoxious because it made our job more fun and made the day go faster," McCarthy said. "We carried squirt guns around with us all day and squirted people just for giving us the wrong look." All in all, the blood drive raised 115 pints, with the hard work of Todd, McCarthy, and 48 other student council members. As student council members approached • their cabin at Camp Maha during an August retreat, they stopped to stare at the screen door, which was covered with dead daddy long-legs. The sight of the insects caused many students to feel uneasy and h ave a hard time sleeping the night of the retreat. "I don't like spiders too well to begin with," Todd Lane said. "When we got to the cabin there were daddy long-legs on the windows, floor, and ceiling. I was afraid that when we slept they would fall on u s from the ceiling." But not everyone was bothered by the dead spiders and chose to use other people's nervousness as a form of entertairunent. "Todd was whining all night about h avin g bugs on him," Jason Conroy said. "Tim Wright and I would tease him and try to make him think there were bugs crawling on him. He would try to brush the imaginary bugs off and shake his sleeping bag out." When the sun finally rose the next day, student council members spent th e day planning homecoming festivities. The bug infested cabin made for a sleepless night, but some managed to make the time move faster by causing others to "bug out." ----=...:Student ~.:...:.=;:.__ Council • written by Lisa Bemer • NHS, Environmental Club learn to help by H iking through the forest on a cold November day, nine members of the Environmental Club searched long and hard for stuffed, camoflauged birds in the trees above. The club's trip to the Fontenelle Forest was one activity to teach the members how animals can hide and adapt in their own environments. "We knew the general location of all the birds, but they were still really hard to see," Christy Schmidt, president, said. "They were hidden among leaves and in the bushes and it took a while." The highlight came when they saw a group of real animals. "At the very end of the trail, someone shouted, 'I see deer,"' Chandra Kyndesen said. "There was a group of four deer eating grass. It was really neat because we didn't think we'd see any." Although Naomi Leiserowitz enjoyed it, sh e was anxious to leave. "The weather was supposed to be warm," Leiserowitz said. "But when we got there, it started snowing and I was the only person wearing shorts. To keep warm, I walked as fast as I could." Along with the trip to Fontenelle, the 25 members were involved in at-shirt sale, an Earth Week essay contest, and paper pick-ups. ''would you like some cream for your • coffee, sir?" "No, but do you have any Jack Daniels?" "Um, I don't think we have any, but I'll go check," Nora Greer said to a man as she served tables at the National Honor Society (NHS) Induction dinner March 23. While refilling waters, Jennifer Kracher was asked by the same man about the whereabouts of his drink. "The man said he sent Nora to find the Jack Daniels, but she never came back," Kracher said. "Hiding a smile, I said I was really sorry and I would go see where she was." Returning to the kitchen, Kracher joined a group of 13 current NHS members, who went to the auditorium to help escort new inductees. The first thing they noticed was the small number of inductees -- only 22 students compared to 56 the year before. Sponsor Chris Fink said fewer students were inducted because students failed to turn in their applications on time or they didn't have enough leadership, service, or community 'work. • Clubs & Classes designed by Jennifer Kracher • Eart11 matters.

"Staying with volleyball was really hard," Alicia Hood said. "The people who were not as good did not get to play; instead we had to go to all the practices, but we still had to sit on the sides while the good players got the attention that we needed. I would get frustrated, and I wanted to quit but I didn't. Finally, in the last couple of games I got to play. It felt so good, and I knew that not quitting had definitely been the best choice for me." But students in hard classes and sports were not the only ones who thought of quitting. Some extracurricular activities also required perseverence. "I had a lot of problems with my camera and my pictures when I was on the Echoes during my freshman year," Tim Owen said. "But I decided to be responsible and keep trying. Finally, I figured out what I was doing wrong and things got better. I have stayed on the newspaper staff for four years, and I'm really glad that I didn't let my little problems push me into quitting because I have really learned a lot.

"Somehow or another, word will get out, everyone will be mad at you , you will lose your friends, and no one will be able to trust you." Camber Price thought she had built a trusting relationship with a friend until she needed help.

"It was a very unique experience trying to d rive it a t first. It didn't have power steering or p ower brakes, so I had to work twice as hard," he said. "But it was worth the time I spent rebuilding it." Eric Johnson said he spent all his tim e working on cars and not enough time on school and with his family. "N ow I'm trying to build a 1937 Chevrolet," he said. "I have a job tha t helps pay for most of the expenses, and I go to swap meets, and I look in the paper for d eals." For many students, fixi ng up their dilapidated old cars became tim.e and effort well spent. '' My dad and I never really spent any quality time together until we decided to work on the '' car. -e~~~ Jennifer Casady Jennifer Catron Emy Chase Hope Christensen Jolu1 Christiansen Jeremy Church Je sica Clevenger DeeDee Cobb Jesse Collins Mark Collins Tricia Colli11s Rya n Conaway Andrew Condecon Todd Coppock Dawn Coulter icoleCox Jessica Craft Dan Dawson Nicole Dawson Melanee Day Melissa Dempse Marla DeWitt Mandi Dickins Brandon Doles Je sie Drake Dana Drennen Amy DuBois hav n Ebling Michael Edie Erik Edwa rds Leah Edwards Regina English Cars written by Stacie Yoss '' I was so glad I got the cellular phone. We would've had to walk for miles to get to a pay phone.'' - fie# ()pat, P·H·O·N·E () ut in the bitter cold, halfway between Glenwood and Council Bluffs, Jeff Opal was riding in the car of a friend when the motor blew up. Shocked and not knowing what to do, Opal remembered that he had just purchased a cellular phone a few days earlier and could call for help. "I was so glad that I got the phone," Opal said. "We would've had to walk for miles to get to a pay phone; instead we had to wait for a half hour for the tow truck to come."· Opal paid $25 a month for his phone and $9 a month for a pager. He got them so friends and family could reach him easily and for emergencies. "My mom calls me about five times a day to check on me," he said. "I like it because I can screen my calls. If I don' t want to talk to someone at that time, I can wait and call them. But if I need to talk to them, I use my cellular." Tired of not receiving phone messages because of not being home due to work and other activities, Oliver Falknor decided to get a pager. "My parents got me a pager for Christmas and I have to pay for it every month," he said. "If they HOOK ME UP: Rushing to the nearest phone after hearing a series of beeps, Steve Haider holds up his pager to see who called.

Some chose to get a phone or pager f r safet reasons. After being in an accident and rmrning out gas a few times, Jennifer Kracher talked her paren into getting her a cellular. "After my car ran out of gas and I had to walk to gas station, and a few weeks later I got rear-ended b a semi, my parents thought I should carry a phone wit me whenever I drive," she said. "Now I never lea home without it. I've used it only when my c wouldn't start one night and when 1 witne sed a accident." Concerned parents also suggested Dan Spring get a pager a year ago. "My mom thought it was a good idea to get o because now she can get hold of me when she needs and my friends can too," he said. Despite the high costs of maintaining a cellul phone or a pager, most agreed it was worth themone "I would rather help rny parent pay for the cellul than be in a situation w here I would really need help Kracher said. "I don' t want to walk to a gas station e again. Being safe is worth $35 a month." - Nick Epperson Deseria Fairchild Dan Fairman Brian Fastnacht Keri Feilen Kristi Flury Jaymee Foster Kaylynn Fouts Chris Freed Kirn Fulfs Trisha Gibler Chris Gilmore Maria Gobin Darrin Golden Alisa Gonzalez Melissa Gonzalez Jennifer Gordon Nichol Grandick Christen Grimsley Kate Gronstal Aaron Hadaway Courtney Haines Steve Handley Tyler Hansen Cortney Harding Kiley Hartzell Michelle Hauger Carrie Hauskins Ann Heitman Matt Helm Jason Hendrix Tiffany Herring Courtney Heuwinkel Laura Hicks James Higginbotham Janna Hightower Corinne Hill Curtis Hinman Anja Hochlan Arian Hock Connie Hoden Chad Holmes Jason Honig Melinda Howerton Jill Hunter Kent Jacobsen Matt Jennings Dave Jensen Meggan Jensen Colette Johnson Jennifer Jolmson Jessica J olmson Michelle Johnson Sarah Jurgens Jill Kadereit Andi Katzenstei.n Sarah Kehm Bill Kellogg Jeff Kelly Michael Kelly Quinn Kelly Dan Kemp Aaron Kephart Jeff King Margot Klein Brad Klement Lane Knauss J.D.

Such jewelry store moments occurred every Christmas and Easter for Ferris, costing her parents an average of $350 annually. But Ferris wasn't the only student addicted to expensive jewelry . "I wear arow1d $2000 worth of jewelry a day," April Traylor said. "I love my jewelry and feel naked when I'm not wearing it." Students like Kristina Madden, an avid jewelry wearer, agreed with Traylor. "I think jewelry adds excitement to my clothes, and expresses my personality subtly," she said. Many jewelry lovers felt some people wore too much, though. " I think it looks tacky when people wear rings on every finger and three o r four necklaces.

Students like Swain and her boyfriend Mike Holten, who bought jewelry regularly, had even discovered the benefits of having their own personal jeweler. "Mike usually buys me a piece of jewelry every three months," Swain said, "so it's nice to have someone like Steve, who used to manage Brodkey's, and now has his own store, because he knows our taste and price range." But jewelry addicts like Traylor didn't care who sold her jewelry or where she bought it. "I have rings I've bought in Mexico and Las Vegas," she said. "I think limiting yourself to just a few stores kind of restricts your personal taste." Most jewelry fiends said they chose pricey jewelry over the cheap stuff because they got their money's worth. "I bought Mike a $70 watch from The Buckle, and within two weeks it turned his wrist green and the watch band had broken," Swain said. "Needless to say, we took it back and got our money back. It's just not worth the time and effort to buy cheap jewelry if you can buy quality jewelry for a few more dollars." '' I wear around $2, 000 worth of jewelry a day.

I M·O·N·S·T·E·R·S hen most people wanted to work on their cars, they went to a garage, but when Brad Vance worked on his, he just reached underneath his bed. Vance kept remote control car carburetors under . his bed becau se he liked to listen to music while he worked on them. "Jn the garage, I can't listen to music," Vance said. "In my bedroom, I just lay towels d own on the floor and work. My mom d oesn't live w ith me so she can't get mad and I don't think my dad even knows." Vance said if he got a spot on the floor, he didn't worry; he just u sed Resolve to take it out. When students were randomly asked to look under their beds and name the most bizarre items they found, most students found half-read books that they meant to finish, m oney, old clothes and shoes, and dirty dishes, but one of the grossest items found was a moldy bologna sandwich. Mindy Engstrom found the sandwich while she was cleaning her room. "Iwasvacuuming underthe bed when the vacuum tarted making strange noises," Engstrom said. "I . . . "' put the handle of the vacuum on the floor so that the bottom of the vacuum was upright. I yelled at my sister for leaving it there and told her to throw it away. She and a friend evidently fell asleep while watching television and forgot about it." It was fairly common for students to leave food under their beds, especially before going to sleep. Carrie Thatcher was surprised when she found a moldy bowl of cereal under her bed that she left there one night, meaning to pick it up the next morning. "I was picking up my room and found it. I let out a little scream and then took it into the kitchen," Thatcher said. "It had green mold floating on the top of it so I threw it away, including the bowl. It was pretty gross." Even though carburetors seemed bizarre, and fuzzy, old food was a shock, some people found a hidden treasure under their bed. Cristy Riesland found a hidden treasure of $50 under her bed and used the money to go shopping. "Up in Mo Valley, a lot of people drop by my house," Riesland said. "I doubt it was mine, but I decided to keep it anyway. It was a nice surprise." • '' I was vacuuming and it started making strange noises ...

Just as the stone was about to crush her, Wardlow woke up from her dream with a sheen of sweat glistening on her forehead. "I was trapped in a room with a bunch of tunnels and only one led to the exit," she said. "Each tunnel had a different shaped entrance and I had to answer a riddle to pick the right tunnel. I don't think my dream meant anything, just that I chose the wrong tunnel." Although many people could not remember whatthey dreamed when they went through R.E.M., or the mode of sleep called rapid eye movement, some students did remember their strange dreams. The only explanation Colette Johnson had for one of her weird dreams was that she had overdosed on biology. "I dreamt I had taken my eye out of its socket and put it in a glass of soapy bath water," sh~ said. "The concentrations of salt were differdreams played like an old television movie, including bad special effects.

"I was trapped in a glass bo · and it started to close in all around me until it got too small," he said. "One time the glass began to cut through me."

They didn't, however, look forward to what they thought would be an uneventful drive to Kansas City to catch their 7:23 p.rn. flight. But the drive did save each student $200 and proved to be one of the highlights of the trip. "We met a t Mrs. Smoley's house to leave for the airport," MattStemple sa id. "Jessica Craft parked her car in Smoley's d riveway and locked her keys in it." Craft's car was parked too close to Smoley's garage, w hose car was still inside.

Meanw hile, Mary Gepner, history instructor, acted as a traffic controller, directing Smoley and pro t e ctin g her bushes. "Tim Owen did all the work changing the tire," Stemple said. But the douglmut could barely keep the car going 55 mph. A few miles and cellular calls later, an old "We had tears in our eyes fro m laughing so h ard ," Craft said after watching the events.

The $20 tire was good enough to get the caravan to the KCI airport with just enough time to eat and board the plane. Luckily speech and debate members never had car problems, but they did like playing road tricks on their coach. "We put a huge poster on the back of Ms.Nelson's van that read 'Please honk at the lad y in the blue van; she's our coach and she's single,"' Shelly DeWitt said. They also made signs that read, "I brake for big rigs" and "I like truckers." "Three hairy men with maybe six teeth between all of them drove past in a red pick-up honking and waving," DeWitt said. "Nelson had no idea what was going on!" CAR TRIPPING. In tight conditions, Stephani e Kracher, A dam Hansen, and Jenni Underwood snooze on the way to the girls' state basketball game.

Like Thatcher, Kelly Gillman said soaps helped take her mind off things. "It's a different life than wha t we know. There's never the same old story," she said. "They cover everyd ay problems such as marriage conflicts in unpredictable ways." Although it was unusual for g u ys to wa tch soap s, Mark Church admitted to being a soap fana tic. "Some of my friends think it's strange for me to be watching soaps," Church said . "But I tell them they' re really good and have a lot of moralistic principles." Church began watching soaps a couple years ago due to boredom from summer vaca tion. "Once you start watching, it becomes addictive; that's how soaps keep their audience," he said. "Once one plot is over, another one begins." Church said he especially enjoyed a subplot on The Young and the Restless when two married couples started having feelings for each other's spouse. "One of the ladies got pregnant," he said. "She took a pill that was supposed to d estroy the baby, but the baby actually ended up being born prem a turely. The result was two divorces." Whether watching soap operas for relaxation, addiction, or simply a change of pace, some students believed there was more than "One Life To Live."

All he could think about was pulling over and somehow smashing the spider. "I've always been afraid of spiders," Cox said. "I remember hating them when I was little. I just thought they were creepy, crawly, and ugly." The most frightening experience Cox ever endured was awakening to find a spider in bed with him. "When I woke up one morning, there was a big spider crawling on my chest," he said. "I flew out of bed, flipped the spider off my chest, found the closest shoe, and beat it to death."

Construction on Red Lobster and Cracker Barrel restaurants had begun. Plans were well underway for three hotels in the Power Mall area, and the riverboat casino, convention center, and hotel complex were in the final stages of planning. But with all the expansion, Council Bluffs continued to focus on its history in preparation ofoursesquiannual celebration in 1996. Volunteers were already getting trained as tour guides, and monuments were scheduled for clean up in anticipation of a projected 1 million visitors from around the country.

But again high spirits were dampened as T-shirt and short-clad seniors were soaked in rain and frozen in 50-degree temperatures as they made their way through the amusement park. But to make a long story short, even rain, cold, and time that seemed to stand still couldn't lessen memories of fun, friendships, and accomplishments recounted in this short story of a long year.

It wasn't necessarily the events themselves that kept us busy, it was all the preparation leading to the big events. Hours were spent hunting for a Homecoming date, deciding whether or not to dress up for Halloween , or even shopping for the perlect Christmas gift. Just when we thought we could relax, it started all over again making preparations for the Spirit Week. By the time the last game was played at the school carnival, we found ourselves planning for prom and addressing graduation announcements. Events were supposed to be the biggest and best times of our lives. We wanted them all to be unique, and half the fun was getting there. Although we thought the big day would never come, once it did nothing could stop us from having the time of our lives.

That was until they heard the news. At 6:30, Dennis Schmoker announced that due to an electrical failure in the stadium, which enabled the use of the lights or scoreboard, the game was postponed to Saturday afternoon. With the buses already gone, the players sat on the sidelines and watched the band practice their half time show while the parents and coaches figured out how Homecoming game postponed thanks to a power outage, sending the players home until Saturday afternoon's upset loss to Skutt everyone was going to get home. Justin Ruby's sister fit eight players in her car. "It was pretty crowded in our car," Ruby said. "It turned out to be pretty fun, even with five people in the back seat and three in the front seat." Many were disappointed as they watched the band loading the trailer, the cheerleaders tearing down the carefully planned decorations and the rush of cars leaving the stadium at only 7 :00. The fans couldn 't help but wonder what Saturday would bri ng, as well as hope that the postponement wouldn ' t bring down the spirit. On Saturday, with just five minutes to kickoff, hardly any fans were in the stands and the football players weren' t very pumped. The fans who were there expected to win and thought that the boys deserved a victory. "T he team worked really hard," Katie Malmberg said. "Not o nly were they supposed to wi n, they needed to win." With the small cheering section ofabout 70 people, the Lynx lost 37-7 with the ir only touchdown made by Kevin Stull in the second quarter. With the encl of the fou1th quarter, the players threw down their helmets in fu ry and frustration. "I gave it my everything a nd that's all I could do," Ruby said.

Homecoming theme 'Viva Las Vegas' captured the wild tension and anxiety of Las Vegas without making Homecoming a gamble. "I thought Viva Las Vegas was a really unique theme," said Nicki Bomgaars. "Everyone bad a lot of different ideas about what kind of decorations we could make using the theme. It was just an easy idea to develop." However a small budget limited student council's options for choosing decorations. Using their avaiJable sources, they were able to narrow their ideas and build a mock Las Vegas Casino. Giant dice, cards, slot machines and a roulette wheel were only a few of the decorations that made Las Vegas a reality in the heart of AL's cafeteria. "I loved Homecoming," said Homecoming queen Angie Disalvo. "It was just a lot of fun seeing all the decorations and getting dressed up and just being with all my friends." The excitement and surprise of being crowned Homecoming queen added to Disalvo's enthusiastic attitude about Student Council brought a piece of casino life theme to AL. with the Homecoming theme Viva Las Vegas. Homecoming dances. "Since I was nominated for court I thought it made the dance more special for me," Disalvo said. "But the fact that I was crowned queen at my last AL Homecoming definetely made it more memorable." Along with memories of shaking to the 1 'Macarena,' riding the 'Train' and sliding to the 'Eletric Slide,' Angela French claimed she and group of friends had a killer kick line going as well. "Nicki Bomgaars, Kim Ferguson, Jenifer Grego, Megan Gray, Al ice Johnson, and I allgotuponstageanddid akickJine," French said. "Then Mr. Lake kicked us off because he was worried that we'd fall off the edge and hurt ourselves." Besides a few minor mishaps, overall, Homecoming was a great experience not to rruss. "Homecoming was not about who got king or queen, where you went for dinner, who you went with or how much money your outfit cost," Disalvo said. "These were just the tiny parts that make up one big wonderful night. ff you never went, you didn't realize what fun you missed." Nearly four hundred students traveled to Las Vegas for Homecoming. They brought with them their friends and dates and left with timeless memories.

With numerous students having planned to go to Lhe varsity volleyball game against Tee Jay on Halloween light. it was hard to indulge in the Halloween spirit, but some found the time. Jessica Hall and her co-workers at Redland Insurance Company dressed up in different costumes for Halloween. Hall dressed up as a cow and got many comments on how cute she was. " I couldn'teven walk down the hall without someone saying 'Ah, you look so cute'," Hall said. Some of the Taco Bell employees dressed up also. One of them even got a little creative with her costume. " I dressed up as one of my former managers," Cathy Haynes said. Haynes stuffed pillows down her navy blue work pants to make herself as fat as her ex-boss, and even went as far dying her blonde hair bright red to match her former manager's color. "Since everyone at work hated her, everyone thought that it was funny," Haynes said. "I even acted like her, I bossed people around all night. It was a blast." Krista Alba and friends had a different type of evening planned. Alba and friends Amy Yochum, Andrea Lapham and Melissa Wolhers, dressed up as pomers and cheerleaders and went trick-or-treating, despite disapproval from Alba's mom who thought they were too old. "Most people we went to were fine about our age, but some people gave us dirty looks, acted snotty and were just plain mean," Alba said. "In the end we got a lot of candy and that's all that mattered." Because many students chose to attend the volleyball game against Tee Jay, Halloween seemed to be forgotten. The students who clidn'tgo to the game, however, didn't regret a thfog and had a great time dressing up and getting into t11e real Halloween spirit.

" I thought the decorations looked fantastic, it really looked like a nice family Christmas,'· Heather Alexander said. "DECA put a lot of work into decorating." Despite the decorations. a lack of interest resulted in a low attendance and many early leavers. "I didn't think the winter dance was as fun as Homecoming this year," Summer Johnson said. "They were excluding groups of kids by playing only certain types of music." Playing certain music wasn · t the dee jay's own choice, but the school's. "We were told by the school not to play certain types of music, like alternative, because they were afraid it might cause a mosh pit or trouble," Brian Smith, the dee jay said. Even though some disliked the music, others thought it was the music that made the dance enjoyable. "The music had a good beat for dancing," Crystal McElroy said. " I danced all night with my friends and it was a relaxing way to start winter break." The music, however. stopped just long enough for DougJiskoot to announce the Holiday King Tieg Weathers and Queen Heather Kirkpatrick. "f was surprised to be King. I was happy about it, but it's not really a big deaJ." Tieg Weathers said. "But I did think the king's hat was really cool." Despite low numbers and music that didn't interest everyone, many still had a blast dancing their way into the holiday break.

(Photo by Angela Bushman) After a week of fun games, the Carnival bn an end to Spirit Week Splashing water, bungee cords, velcro and cotton candy all helped to make the second annual Lynx Carnival. The Carnival brought an end to Spirit Week and offered games and prizes for all students. While the Student Council spent a great deal of money and time organizing the carnival, making a profit was not a prio1ity. Overall, the carnival barely made over a hundred dollars. "Student Council didn't really do this as a money maker," Doug Jiskoot said. "We did it more to help promote school spirit, it would have been nice just to break even." The admission for the carnival was three dollars, including four game tickets. Extra tickets were available for twenty-five cents. There were big attractions, such as the bungee run, where two people would race to try to get a button the fmthest, while strapped to a bungee cord. There was also the velcro wall, where a student would wear a special suit and jump onto a wall of velcro. Clubs and organizations could also set up their own games and booths. "A lot of clubs I was in set up booths," Naomi Greelis said. "I worked with the Science club, Enviromnental club, jazz band, and Student Council." To attract people, posters were put adve1tising the carnival at Kim and Hoover. Student Council set up games the week of the carnival for Spirit Week, including the bungee run and the velcro wall on Friday during lunches. They also scheduled the carnival on the same night as the NNarsity boys basketball game against Roncalli. "I think that since people were already there, they could have just come dming a break or after the game," Tera Jensen said. " They didn't have to go out of their way to get there." For those who came,they were able to enjoy cotton candy, face painting, hoop shoot, spin <ut, snow cones, black jack and more. Many students tried their luck with the different booths and picked their favo1ites. "My favo1ite game was the Bungee Run and the Velcro Wall," Nichola Day said. "I liked them because I had never done them before." The booths and smaller attractions got their share of the excitement too. "l Like the fortune telling the best," Christine Talley said. "When they told yom fortune, they could tell you almost anything that you wanted to hear." The end of the carnival brought a close to Spirit Week and a week of fun and games. The many attractions brought fun and entertainment for all types of students. By Kathleen Snodgrass Some attended prom with friends, others with dates, both had fun ...

Van Winkle went though a numberofbaddates before sectling two days before on going with a friend, Wendy Troff. Van Winkle wasn't the only one without a date. Jamie Metz went with Catherine Thompson, Annie McCullen and Melissa Hansen as a group of friends. To make it feel more I ike Prom they rented a I imo. The girls had a blast hanging out the sunroof and window but the fun was quickly stopped when the limo got pulled over for exhibition driving. "We were told to keep ourselves in the limo. At first we were scared but then we just lauhged it off," said Metz. Metz and friends didn't regret going as group, but Yan Winkle felt otherwise. "T don' tregretgoingwith a friend but I wish I would've had a date," said Van Winkle. Van Winkle and Metz both agree that they didn 't have to won-y about the romantic hassles that come with a date. The theme was Starlight in the City and cost was $22 a couple and two dol lars per person for Post Prom. Prom was held at the UNO Ballroom May 17th at 8:00 p.m. The most exciting thing about Prom was finding out that Heidi Livingston and Kevin Stull got Prom King and Queen. Li vinston was both happy and surprised at the smne lime. "I didn't even think that I had a chance of winning, I didn't even vote for myself." said Livingston. The majority of the people got bored around eleven p.m. and headed over to Post Prom at Brunswick. They won money playing Black Jack, bowling and pool. "With the money that 1 won I bought a Coleman Cooler, l wo telephones, tennfa balls and ten dollars cash." said Jason Picrret. But the best part of post prom was the hypnotist. "Tt was so fu nny to watch Jenny Norman as the Moon Girl." said Van Winkle All in all the students stayed for the whole post prom with or without a date. by Dawn Bresley Busting a move, Stephanie Kracher, Brian Hilland Tara Owens dance the night away at prom.

Within the walls of AL, a new meaning was given to May 27. Through tears several witnesses claimed the memory of that evening would not be forgotten. It was there, in the thick muggy air of AL's large gym, the seniors said good-bye one last time. "Graduation night I expected to cry and be depressed," Wendy Troff said. "But actually I felt really great all night. It was hard leaving my friends, but I knew it was time for me to move on to bigger and better things." Graduation not only meant relief, but freedom, independence and a new beginning. It was the first and last time the entire class of '97 would be together. They were no longer students of AL, but alumni and individuals. " I wasn'tsad toseehighschoolgo," Krista Jacobsen said. "It was something all of us had lived and breathed for fou r years straight. After graduation it was gone forever." However, the memory of AL would eternally remain in their hearts. From the staff, to the students, to their former classrooms ... the seniors would remember. They realized AL had been more than just an education, but an irreplaceable piece of their past. "The smell of AL really stuck in my mind," Jacobsen said. "lt always distinctly smelled like a mixture of people and school lunch." Amidst the beaming crowd, fl ashing cameras, flying beach balls, toilet paper and siJJy string, an official ceremony had taken place. A milestone in not only the lives of the seniors, their family and friends, but also for their principle, Jim Lake. Along with the seniors, he too would be leaving AL. "We all knew how much Mr. Lake hated to leave," Angie Disalvo said. "In honor of his last graduation ceremony as principle of AL, Don Sheibler, seniorsponser, came up with the idea for us to make him an Honorary Member of our class. I think it was the right thing to do because he meant so much to all of us." It was the first time in 35 years a class had made anyone an Honorary Memeber. After being cloaked in an official blue graduation cap and gown, Lake expressed his gratitude and feelings he had for the class. "I don' tthink I had ever received a higher honor," Lake said. " f had been on TY, radio across America and on National Committees with generals in the Airforce, but becoming an Honorary Member was the highest, most wonderful thing that had ever happened to me." Lake claimed that his years spent at AL were a dream, and that he had never had better kids in his life. He reminded everyone that they would always have a place in his heart. That night a glimpse of a hero was seen in Lake as he concluded his speech. Together, the crowd stood and cheered, returning the kindness and hope Lake had given them. That evening the seniors and Lake left AL as equals. Each of them had begun AL with opportunities and dreams and finished with memories and accomplishments. by Jill Ryan Before graduation Renee Robicheau helps Jenny Skalberg fix her collar.

For some it was through dating, others reminiscing with friends about first time experiences or relaxing with family. No matter what people did, we usually came back on Monday with an interesting story to share and an easygoing attitude, ready for another week. The year brought with it many big events, the Olympics, the presidential election, and many outerspace discoveries. In addition to the triumphs and discoveries crune the harsh eye-opening realities of the real world. We were shocked with the murders of the little beauty queen, Jon-Benet Ramsey and comedian Bill Cosby's son, Enis Cosby. Through it all we were touched and inspired by many different people and events. We gained much know ledge and learned that nothing could hold us back from having the times of our lives.

Most people, however, would never get the chance to experience the Olympics first hand. A few lucky students went to the Olympics in Atlanta. They were able to see the sights, sounds, and more importantly, the athletes and the competitions. Jennifer Hansen was amazed at the prices of simple things and at rhe amout of people. "The price for a pop was three dollars or more, even a hot dog was five dollars," Hansen said. "Things could get very expensive since they were doubling prices. The crowds were so large attheOlympics,especially walking to and from Centennial Park. You couldn't even see around you because of the large amount of people." The variety of people proved to be one of the highlights of the trip. " I saw and met one of the Croatian basketball team members at an Atlanta mall," Hansen said. "He was at least 7 feet tall. You could tell who the athletes and officals were by their security passes." Getting tickets lo the games proved hard to get. The people who went had to plan their trip out months ahead. Glen Campbell was one of these people. "To get the tickets, first we had to order a catalogue then we submited our name and choices for the events you wanted to go to, sent it back," Campbell said. "The tickets were hard co get and the prices could go up to $200 or more for the more popular events such as the opening and closing ceremonys.'' The J 996 Summer Games had more events than recent times, displaying such new medaling sports as roller hockey, kayaking, and rollerblading. But the older events sti 11 proved to be the favorites. "I really enjoyed seeing Mens gymnasti cs," said Gina Campbell. " It's amazing that the gymnasts have that ski ll and can perform that well, I'm glad J had the opportunity to go." One of the most vivid memories for those who went to the Olympics was the bombing in Cenntienal Park. "I was at my hotel the night of the bombing and the building shook. It really scared me," Hansen said, "The blast was felt miles away." Besides coming back from the Olympics with the usual tshirt and some souvenirs, these students also came back with memories of a Ii fetime to hold on to.

Ill 2 8 ar skies Imaginations and the media explored the endless possibilities of outerspace Creeping out of the tall shadows, they invaded our televisions, newspapers and the big screen. With large, black eyes, they looked upon our world and decided to stay. Thealienshavelanded! Well, not exactly. AJthough aliens didn't land, they did invade our culture. With shows like The X- Files and Dark Skies, and movies like Independence Day, audiences discovered the possibility that aliens may not be as sweet as £. T. What used to seem absurb became questionable. Alien abductions, government cover-ups and Life in space were all contoversal subjects people were talking about. Summer Johnson, James Hill, Amber Umbdenstock, Ryan Brown and Jean Hurley got together to discuss outers pace. Q. Do you believe that there was life in outerspace? Hurley: The uni verse was too big for us to be the only living beings out here. Johnson: Yes, I mean, just think about it. If we were here, then there had to be someone else somewhere. Hill: Of course there were aliens because on ly people with incredibly large egos would believe they were the only ones in the universe. Q. What do you think an alien on Mars would look like? Johnson: Well, it's hard to say. It could have been some kind of green slime. Umbdenstock: But how do you know they were green? They could have been human-like. Hurley: They could have been humanoid and just blended in like the rest of us. For all we knew, we could have been surrounded by Martians! Q. What about bow the way that Hollywood portrayed aliens? Hurley: They made them all look similar. For example: the white, ovalshaped beads and the big black eyes. We didn ' t really know if that was what they looked like. Q. Did you believe that the scenario of lndependance Day was possible? Hurley: Why not? Hill: Anything was possible. Reality was a human- based thing. Q. Did the government cover- up alien encounters? Brown: I think that the government was trying to keep something, like a mutual thing going on with the aliens. Umbdenstock: I think the goverment was really afraid of what was real and what was not. Johnson: Instead of having alien ships flying all over the place, they would have said it was some new government ship so we wouldn't all freak out. Q. Will we live in outerspace in our lifetime? Johnson: Not in our lifetime. It would take too long. I don't think I have enough life left for them to do something like that. Maybe sometime, though. Hurley: l think sometime in 2000 we would be living in outerspace floating around! Who knows, we might have the Olympics in space! Q. Was the NASA program a benifit? Hurley: And to really understand our world's own history, we needed to find out the history about other planets. Like when we found organic lifeforms on Mars! Umbdenstock: They found new things when they'd go up, so I think they helped out a lot. Hill: The government would have . been more worth-while if they had loosened up. We spent too much time and money on stupid little things! Little green men didn't seem like stupid little things anymore.

The boy in the third row, second seat. He wore a pair of baggy jeans, worn-out airwalks, and a Bush t-shirt everyday to school. Sometimes, when it was cold, he would add a long sleeved t-shirt underneath it. "I don't really mind the alternative look, but I would prefer the trendy look," Darci Drennen said. "I like to see guys in Tommy jeans and things like that." Drennen would have preferred to see that same boy in green corduroys and brightly colored sweaters. Students definitely had their opinions on exactly which style they preferred, not on ly for themselves but for the opposite gender as well. With stores like Gadzooks, wild clothing became more popular. Items such as orange sweaters and shiny tops were seen quite often. Along with the trendy clothing were Doc Martens. Even though these were one of the most popular fashions, they were not agreed on by everyone. "Lots of girls wore those big funky Docs," Micheal Duncan said. " f like the fish scale ones, but the nowered and the shiny ones should have been burned." Some students didn't care what they wore. They just put on what was comfortable and that was their style. "It didn't matter to me what most people dressed like," Haley Allen said. "We came to school to learn, not to impress anyone." The way people dressed, whether it was alternative, nerdy, trendy or casual, was the way they expressed themselves. High school years were the time for many to find what styles they preferred to see and what styles they hated. "One of the many styles was baggy jeans,'' Mikala Boze said. "I 1 ike to wear them because they were comfortable. I liked to see guys wear them because they looked sexy." When guys wore baggy jeans, many like Boze turned to look, but many also turned away. Karen Grimsley was one of those who disliked the baggy jean look. "Baggy pants look okay on some," Karen Grimsley said. "I only liked them if they had the who le alternative look, otherwise they looked dumb." With so many different clothing styles, it was impossible for everyone to agree. No matter what people wore on the outside, it was important to remember that it was the inside that counted.

Cutting taxes, balancing the budget and eliminating the Department of Education were the main issues and concerns adults discussed. But what were teens talking about? For some of students theelection was a huge concern. David Brown, Chris Pruitt and Amanda Fisher discussed the issues of the campaign. Q. Who did you think should had won the election? Brown: Bob Dole should have won because Bill Clinton was an extensive liberal democrat. Pruitt: I thought Dole because I was a Republican. Fisher: I was glad Clinton won because of the way Dole felt about chopping down trees. Q. Who had the more intresting issues? Brown: I thought Dole had good issues because taxes were a big deal and I liked his issues. Pruitt: They all basically bad the same issues. That was why they called the election a debate because they debated about the same questions. Fisher: It really did not matter to me. Q. What were your opinions on Clinton being relected? Brown: Bill Clinton was a really weak-minded man. I am not glad he was relected. Pruitt: ft did not really matter to me, I did not vote. Fisher: ram glad he was relected, r think he did a lot of good. Q. How did you feel about all of the tax laws and cuts'? Brown: I liked the fifty cent tax cut because we should increase taxes not government. Pruitt: I agreed, I think we paid too much taxes. Q. Dole had talked a bout cutting educational prog r amming. How did you feel about that? Brown: Just because he wanted to cut the education department did not mean he wanted to cut the education programming. Fisher: It said in the Omaha World Herald that he wanted to cut the educational programming so we know he wanted to do that. I think he needed to back off. Brown: The bottom line was that the states would be in control of the education. Pruitt: I didn't think he would cut the education programming. Q. With all the promises made, did you think that whoever was elected would fulfill t he ir promises? Brown: I didn't think Clinton would. He didn ' t fulfill them the first time. Pruitt: I thought they would say anything to get the votes. Fisher : I thought all the politicans believed in what they were pushing. Q. Who did you think had the best plan for bala ncing the budget? Brown: I liked Clinton's. He balanced the budget by cutting taxes. Pruitt: I agreed. Clinton had good ideas about how to get us out of debt. The votes were counted and Clinton was elected for another term. Whether teens liked him or not, the Americans dec ided Clinton would bring them into the 21st Century.

Mr. perfect was Mr. Stepdad before too long if the feeling was right. The kids couldn' t be forgotten, they were what made it a family or at least a stepfamily. When someone new was added to a family, adjustments were the first things made. Sometimes screams proceeded adjustments, but life went on. "We were forced to adjust," said Melissa Halse. "At first I did a lot of screaming, but then I calmed down and accepted it." Richard and Melissa Halse had to quickly adjust when their mother's boyfriend and son moved into thesma!J, two-bedroom apartment. "They were well-built guys and the apartment seemed small with all five of us in their," said Richard. "We only had to live there for about fou r months though." Four months in a cramped apartment seemed like longer when everyone's habits interfered with each other. Changes from everyone had lo be made, but some thought it was a one sided-deal. "When they moved in with us, we all had our own habits, and then we had to adj ust," said Melissa. "The food had to be rationed along with the space because of the addition of two new people." Space and food weren't the only adjustments made. Authority also was spread out, and listening and taking orders was hard to learn. " I told my stepdad from the start he wasn't there lo bea father figure," said Richard. "At first he was upset over it, but after awhile he j ust complained to my mom and she dealt with it." When Marlina Howe's mother remarried, it came as somewhat of a shock. She had to learn to live with a new stepdad and two stepbrothers. "The hardest part was for me was knowing that my mom and dad were really separated and would never make up," said Howe. Although she knew her mom would remarry, nothing could really prepare her for it. "I knew it was going to happen," said Howe. "They had been dating for awhile, but it was still a shock. It was hard to see my mom get married to someone other than my dad." After the wedding, changes were in order and adjustments of all kinds were made. They didn' t occur just at first, they continued to happen quite a few years after the marriage. "I would ask my mom if I could go somewhere and my stepdad would jump in," Howe said. "I thought 'Why did he say anything? He's not my dad.' He'd been with us for awhile, but I didn ' t see him in that way." Howe didn't feel exactly comfortable in the beginning, having a stepfather and stepbrothers around, but he got used to them. She still couldn't consider them as her 'real' family. "I'll never think of them as family," said Howe. "I'm close to them, but I could never say l love them." With new family members around, adjustments were made, whether everyone was in agreement or not. They were part of the family, and fami ly was fami ly whether by blood or marriage.

Her sweaty palms rubbed the penci I while she nervous! y glanced over the test. "When Mrs. Smoley handed out our test, I thought I was going to die," said Chapman. "I thought the test was going to be easy. When I looked over the test, iL was very hard. There were questions on the test that were not in the book, and r was not prepared." Students had many firsts. Some were exciting and others were boring, but many agreed that their firsts were memorable. A first time host on Good Morning AL, Kala Ginn found that bringing the news Lo her peers was a big and nerve rackingjob. " I was very nervous when our first show came out," Ginn said. "At first l was just scared that no one would like how l hosted. Afler the first show, I wasn't so tense anymore and was more confident when doing the show." A rookie reporter for the AL Insider, Mark Church found his first story, a news feature, to be a challenge. ''There were so many little things, like logging and writing scripts, that I did not know how to do," Church said. "Sometimes I would get very discouraged but, in my mind, I knew I could do it. After awhile I enjoyed being on camera." After trying out for Porn Pon for the first time, Laura Liddick, waited by the phone, anxious to hear the outcome. She could hardly believe it when she found out she was a new member. "I had to learn the dances in a short amount of time and I was scared I would not make it," said Liddick. "Porn Pon took a lot of energy and hard work. It was much harder than cheerlcading." Whether it was a test or a dance routine, some students found that they had to struggle with their firsts.

Trus is the true story of four students picked to live in an old lady's house and have their lives observed to find out what happened when people stopped being polite and started getting real. Real World- Council Bluffs. During the week, the four members of the Real World waited to meet the roommates whom they'd be spending the weekend with, looked at the people in the hall and wondered. On Friday, September 27, the wait was over. "When we pulled up everyone was on the porch waiting," said Rutlege. "I saw a couple people [ recognized but I didn't really know anyone." After the first impressions were made and the ice was broken, the roommates started their weekend by piling into a car in search of a bonfire. 'There were three people in the front and four in the back. Andy was laying across everyone in the back and his bony butt was digging into my leg," Lindsay McElderry, yearbook photographer, said. "Everyone thought they knew where we were going, but no one did. We drove around in the middle of nowhere, crammed in the car, until we finally found it." Although the car ride was a unique bonding ex perince for the group it seemed to work, for a short time. All the members stuck together as they walked toward the bonfire, they stood next to it and talked until it was time to head home. It only took hours before a conflict arose in the house and Dodson quickly found a way to get rid of the problem. Rutledge had done the impossible, he had annoyed the 3 8 entire group. "We were leaving for the grocery store and Andy was supposed to ride in my car," Dodson said. "Before he could get in the car, l drove off without him and left him standing in the middle of the street. Afterwards I felt really bad so I bought him a candy bar at the store to make up for it." Arguments were soon forgetten when the roommates wanted to learn more about each other. A question game got them to reveal some personal and embarrasing information about themselves. "I got to know things about the roommates that their own fri ends probably didn' t even know," Henn said. "And there were some pretty funny questions. You cou Id always tell which questions Andy put in because his never made any sense." The game was exhausting and everyone knew Saturday would be a long day, so at 2 a.m. the roommates piled into bed. Yet their rest was cut short by an alann set off by Rutledge at 3 wh ile he was trying to see what time it was. Saturday morning was spent like any other for the roommates, watching cartoons. But they all fou nd something better to do when Rutledge picked up the phone. "Andy called a bunch of people and talked in a Chinese accent, pretending to look for a restau rant," Underwood said. " He tried to order J 2 fortune cookies and some young choy." A scavenger hunl brought up a little friendly competition among the roommates as well as some laughs.

"When we walked into Drug Town and Jenn i Henn asked for condoms, the clerk questioned her about why she wanted them," Underwood said. "Jenni gave her a dirty look and said ·1t's on my scavenger hunt list.' " The roommates spent Saturday night strolling the Old Market. As a big group of people, they became target for religous messengers spreading the word. "It's not everyday that you' re walking down the street and have two guys stop and preach to you for an hour," Rutlegde said. While Rutledge stayed and listened to the men, others escaped. " I started to walk away and yelled back 'I'm going to the bath room,"' said Kelly Quigley, yearbook reporter. "Sarah Scheer and Julianna Dodson said 'Me too' and followed for an escape out." After the weekend was over. all members agreed it was a unique experience, orld learning how to get along with diffe rent types o f people. "I learned that you could sec someone everyday and not know them, but they could be a totally cool person." Rutledge said. When the weekend was over, any arguments or squables were fo rgotten, but the inside j okes the roommates shared were not. "T talked to a lot of the roommates afterwards and even hung out with them," Henn said. "We would still laugh about how annoying Andy was."

When most students heard this phrase, the image of a short, stocky, pimple faced geek or an overweight, obnoxious troublemaker came to mind. This kept most students from giving up a Saturday night. However, the yearbook staff decided to find our if blind dates were really as bad as they seemed. Four AL students applied to go on an all-expense paid blind date. When Krista Alba, Sabrina Kunik, Glen CampbeU and Adam Driscoll met in the AL parking lot at 5:30pm on a Saturday evening, they knew they would be going out to a restaurant, but did not know what was in store for the rest of the night. As the couples made their way into the c rowded Pizza Hut, no doors we re opened for the ladies. As the ladies were seated, no chairs were pulled out. "I never opened car doors for my date," Driscoll said. " I' d open all other doors, but I didn't open car doors." When it came time to order, instead of the guys talcing their place as the decision maker, the girls forcefully set their minds on what they wanted lo order and placed it before the guys could offer suggestions. Kunik and Alba ordered a pitcher of Mountain Dew, just as Driscoll informed them that he was a Pepsi drinker. However, they ignored his request. As the seco nd pitcher of Mountain Dew arrived at the table, the couples were deep into a conversation on dating. "My mom said I shouldn' t call a guy first, they shou ld call me," Kunik said. Conversations of dati ng turned into debates about who should pay. "It doesn't matter who pays anymore," Driscoll said. "Girls had a lot of responsibilities too. But I still paid for my date." Alba rebutted w ith he r strongly opposing views. "I still expected the guy to pay, even if I asked him out." The dates all agreed that times have changed. Their parents did things differently, starting with bringing the girl flowe rs. "I had only gotten flowers twice," Kunik said. "Once it was for a two month anniversary." They concluded that romanticism had diminished over the years and dates had lost any emotions. Rather than coming to the door and meeting the parents, girls often have to run out the door to their date who's honking their horn. Although they had opposing views on how dates should act, they were all in compliance when the idea of an action-packed movie came up. The dates looked for four seats together in the c rowded theater and sat down immediately. As Ransom began with a kidnapping, Kunik was the center of attention. "I was just dozing off," Kunik said. "When I opened my eyes, there were all these people staring me." After the movie, they decided to end the night with hot chocolate at the 13th Street Coffee Company. The four re laxed and reminisced about the night and dating in the 90's.

Wrestler Joe Mason climbed his way to the top at Districts, earning a spot at State in Des Moines. He fought a long, hard battle placing fifth.

Sleepovers and pizza parties pull team together "Closeness" was the motto for the varsity softball team. After a game, a tradition for the varsity softball team was born over a table full of pizzas. While eating at Pizza King, a player came up with the idea for a slumber party. The idea stuck, plans were made and the team met in Arian Hock's basement. They had a sleepover that night and many others following. Together, the team watched movies, did each other's hair and ate a lot of food. They even adopted thier own movie. "We all watched 'A League Of their Own' over and over throughout the night," Hock said. "Du ring practices and games we quoted lines from the movie." Not only did the team have their own movie, they also had a common hairstyle. "We braided each other's hair for Districts to look more like a team," Heidi Li vingston said. "Not only that but it intimated the other teams as well." Up to bat, Becky Rossbund prepares for the swing. The JV team ended the season with a record of 12 - 8.

They wanted diamonds, as in softball. "It was a wonderful year for us, we had a great amount of parent support this year,'' Coach Kevin Dunn said. Softball parents helped out, selling game tickets, working at concession stands or just cheering on their favorite players. "We had more students who came out to watch the games than seasons before," Dunn said. "It was nice to have their support. Support from students and parents alike meant a lot to the players. "I learned a lot. I improved on points in my game such as pitching and balling," Katie Dricrgins said. "It was a really tough season and0 we played good teams li ke Riverside." It has been said to be a good team they must learn to use teamwork and to learn from each other. "The fres hmen and JV girls looked up to the varsity players and learned from them." Dunn said. Coaches who care often mean more to players than wins or loses. "The coaches were reaJJy rooting for us ... Teresa Weddle said. "They were jumping up and down, screaming and cheering for us at all our tournaments." Though the JV and freshmen seasons were a~out half an~ half for wins and losses, they still accomphshed their goals and learned together. "We accomplished a lot as a team together," Dunn said. "The g irls wo rked together to improve. and they did .. , Years from now these girls might not necessa1ily remember their wins and losses but they will remember the fun times they had on the diamond together.

The bitter air added to the sting of tears that rolled down the players faces. "Come on AL!" a single voice yelled from the stands followed by cheers of restored faith. Though city rival, TeeJay hadjustscored a touchdown, making the score l4-3, the varsity football players were still determined to do their best. "At the Tee Jay game I was upset because we thought we could have won chat game," Sean Stcensen said. "One of our main goals was to make it to the p layoffs. Losing that game only took us furthe r away from achieving that goal." The unexpected loss to Tee Jay left playe rs and fa ns shocked. The game captured their pride and plummeted the team into a threegame losing streak. "We lost a lot of oames because we I;> were a young team way we played." Nelson said. " [ f we heard them cheering us on. it pushed us a little harder. So when they yelled ·You guys suck!' or something, it only pu lled us down." Despite the team's loss to Gross, 35-42. the crowd went wild. Both players and fans agreed that Gross was AL ' s best played game of the season. As the game ended. AL quickly recovered their dignity as they held their he lmets high in the air and chanted "Go AL!'' lt was times like that which lifted everyone's spirits and gave them the courage to strive on.

Parental support helps volleyball overcome the ups and downs As the ball sailed ~moothl y through the air, it was abrubtly stopped and slammed the other way with great force. The girls' volleyball team continued to pick up speed throughout the season. "We definitely got better as the season went on," Heather Aughe said. "At our first tournament, we were six different players. As the season progressed, we got to know each others' playing styles and we started communi c ating more." Before the y started communicating, the team lost their first seven games. Many people didn 't have much fa ith for the rest of the season. "Besides Chuck May, ourselves and our families, I doubt anyone thought we cou ld make it to the reoional fin a ls," 0 Janelle Kenny said. The parents had a good reason to believe in the team.

It not only made the team better, but the varsity team as well. Scrimmages between the two teams were meant to make both work harder. JV always started out with a twelve point lead, which they were suppose to keep, while varsity was suppose co come back and win. "Both coaches expected their own team to win," Kristy Hough said. "Sometimes we'd win, most of the time varsity wou ld." ln order to beat not only varsity, but their opponents in games as well, it took teamwork. It did, however, take the players awhile to learn how to play as a team. "We started out really slow because we had never really played together as a team before," Anna Peterson said. "After awhile, we oot better because we got to know each 0 other and how we played." Nicknames helped to loosen up the team and to get them to play as one. "Victoria Shamblen was really quiet at the beginning of the season," Hough said. "Then we started calling her "Slick Vic'. After that. she became a lot more open and became friends with everybody else.·· The freshmen volleyball team. however. already knew each other and playing styles well. The team played throughout j unior high together and even had off-season leagues. "Our game against Ralston was probably our best game all season, " Courtney Underwood said. "Everyone was playing really well and the game was really close." Knowing how to play together was important to both teams in order to be sucessful. Both finished the season with winning record .

Experience and long practices led to a successful year The team's goal of the season was record setting, whether it was a home meet or going off to State and Districts. They worked hard at this and were succsessfull because of it. "Since most of us were on the team the year before, the coaches expected a lot more out of us this year," Adam Mattox said. "·w e had worked really hard this season towards our goal of doing well at all of our meets, but especally Districts and State." Two individual members, went to State held in Iowa City, IA. One member, Josh Hale, advanced to the finals receiving sixth place in the 200 Freestyle and fifth place for the 500 Freestyle. "Since last year was my first time at State I was really nervous," Hale said. "Since this was my second time up at State, l had a really good time because I was more familiar wi th the meet." Shaun Hayes was the other member of the boys swim team who went to State. He received 42nd place in the 100 backstroke. "State was really s pectacular this year," Hayes said. "The facilities they provided for us were great and it was full of so many fans that it made it much more enjoyable for us to swim." With doing well at State and Districts, team members had some extra traveli ng time for fun. Most of the team's meets were held out of town which made for some long trips. Stroke after stroke, Chris Tavera is trying to keep his rhythm speed up. The boys swim team ended up sending two swimmers to State.

With having set records and sending two members to state boys swimming proved to other teams that they were something to contend with. The team members had worked hard for their success by having long practices. " lt was a great year for all of us," Hayes said. ·'Our relay teams were outstanding and we all did well individually.'' With having a record tting year in swimming, they also set swimmers afire throughout the state with their successes wishing they cou ld get the same .

When it did, she went off like a rocket. With Kealy's feet kicking and her heart pounding, teammates cheered on each other as team members finished swinuning at the River Citys Conference. "The support from each other really helped all of us," Kealy said. "When we were really exhausted, it helped us pull it together to finish well." With support from each other came a very positive environment for the team. This helped the team become more productive and work harder. "We had gotten along much better than the previous season," Amanda English said. "Since we had a Jot of goals for the team, it helped make us work together as one." Working together the swim team picked up the City Swim Championship for die first time in ten years, and scored second in the River Cites Conference, the highest ever. The team also went undefeated in the fa!J and lost only one meet in the winter. "The City Swim Championship meet was really exciting," Sarah Will said. "It took a lot of work, practice and dedication to get the championship but it was \.vor'th every minute of it." Besides swimming well at the City Championship the team also made an impressive showing at Districts in Fort Dodge. The team sent Lindsay Parks, a diver, to State. " I wasn't really that nervous diving at t. • ---~-- +- State," Parks said. "I was more worried diving at Districts wondering whether or not I would make State." During the winter, the major meet was the River Cites Conference. The meet was rewarding according to Kealy, because each swimmer finished with their best personal times. "That meet was really exciting," Kealy said. "We were really on top of our game that day, we all got our best times and placed second." Working hard aJI season, the swim team also took some time out for fun. Often after meets, teammates would go out for dinner together. "We really had a good time together after meets by teeping each other's cars, throwing snowballs and pulling pranks on the coach, such as throwing her into the pool," Terry Danburg said. "I thought doing activites together helped build team spirit and unity." Singing was another activity the girls did together as a team. "Since we liked to sing we would sing in the van to and from meets," Kealy said. "During the winter season the boys would get mad when we sang, so we just sang louder to annoy them." Wheather it was chowing on pizza, or swimming to the finish, the team did it together with pride. They had successfully completed a season of successes both in and out of the pool.

The girls varsiry team went through a number of obstacles before they made it to the top. In the beginning it was coach versus girls. Coach Bullock would yell and scream in such a jumble of thoughts that the girls just didn't understand, even though he expected them to understand perfectly. The girls felt alone and in the dark. "At first we got so frustrated we wanted to quit but we never did. We knew that to make it as a team we couldn·t quit·· said Beck y Rossbund. " ll was that team unity that pulled the team and coaches together to form strong team unity. As the season moved forward. so did their progress. They learned to understand each other and form unity. The practices became more conditioning, full of motivation and encourageme nt instead of just yelling and running through plays and scrimages.

" In our hudle before every game we said, 'Take care or each other, take care of the ball, but most of all. kick some butt,.,. said Angie Driggins.

The JV girls tried and worked their hardest but they just weren't playing like they should. The team got tired before the fourth quarter and couldn't keep up with their competitors. ''We couldn't play four solid quarters. Mostly we could play for three, sometimes only two, .. said Amanda Norman "It was really messing us up and made it really hard to win." The team had such a hard time this season they only felt comfortable with only one team and that was Tee Jay. ''They were a very easy team to beat. That made us feel great that we could go out and beat our rivals without hardly tring." said Norman "We knew we could beat them, so coaches, Jay Conyers and Phil Nielson, had a lot to do with it. "The coaches taught us more than any other coach that I' ve ever had" said Courtney Underwood. The coaches were there not only to teach them drills, scrimages and plays, but also about their attitudes. "Conyers put us all on the line and gave us an emotional speech about when we got older we would regret some of the things we were doing on and off the court. but if we did it right and did it now, there would be nothing for us to ~egret," said Elizabeth Waldmann.

Confidence surrounded the boys at every game Confidence, poise and smooth moves filled the court as the boys basketball team played the iT first District game. They played with an air of authority and a deep passion for the game. Nothing could stop them. However, during the second half, the confidence faded as their shots stopped falling, and Souix City HeeJan's offense got the best of them. After loosing a close game, players werestrnck with the feeling of dissapointment. " I felt depressed when I knew we had the game won. but then lost because of mental miscues and stupid mistakes that we went over every day in practice," said Damian Teymer. Whether they won or lost by only a few points, they never gave up and always knew there was room for improvement. "Coach Bruce Chubick would always tell us, 'We should have won by more, but we' ll take thewin' ,"said Mike Rossbund. "It was a let down, but not a discouragement. We always tried to take two steps forward when we took a step back. We knew the mistakes we made could be changed." Even though the team won twelve games, some were convinced that they didn't play to their full abilities. "There were a few games where we should have been in total con- • trol," said Headed around a St. Alberts player, Scott Rossbund. "When Coppock heads for the b~sket. AL beat St. we played St. Albert Alberts 60-57. (Photo by Lindsay McElderry) we won, but only by a few points, so it felt like a loss." Although they often felt they could have done better, some players were proud of the accomplishments the season brought them. "We had a better record than last season, but l knew we could have done better, and there were games that I knew we should have won," said Joel Brandt. "We were really confident and no matter who we played, we always went into a game thinking we could win. No one favored us to beat Fremont because they were ranked pretty high in Nebraska, but we went into their place and we won.'' Whether the game was won by a long shot, or by a three-pointer at the buzzer, the boys basketball te am proved that dedication and a love for the game could overcome small obstacles. They proved that being a winner wasn ·l a lvvays de te rmined by the scoreboard. but by the strive to do better and to c lear the path of anything that stood in their way.

The players raced up and down the court, sweating and working their hardest. However, once the first shot S\vished through the basket, there was no cheeri ng, no clapping, except a few parents in the stands. The start of JV basketball games often missed one important element. .. fans. Although players centered their attention on the game, the lack of support did not go unnoticed. "Every time we did something good during the game, we never heard much cheering," said Adam Driscoll. "For the first half of our games there was never anyone there, except our parents. We really depended on each other for support." With a lack of fans. the team was forced to give each other extra encouragement. "We counted on each other to be in our spots and do our jobs," said Josh Powell. "Even when someone messed up, we let them know it was okay and continued to cheer them on." Although the team cheered one another on in times of need, the fan support which they also needed was only provided for the varsity team. "Varsity was so good this year that people would come early to get a good seat.'' said Driscoll. "We all hoped that if we could put on a good show at the end of our games, maybe people would start coming earlier.'· Unfortunately. no matter how much they worked, the fan support did not increase, and neither did lhe players' confidence in their fans. 'The fan support for the JV team was the same every year, small," said Powell. ·'People just didn 't care about JV games. We were kind of our own fans. We really had to be." Although the bleachers remained body less for most of the season. the boys JV basketball team showed the fans they had what playing the games was all about They also learned from each other what the words teamwork and support really meant, and they transformed their team into a family.

While this goal was sometimes never met, the sense of accomplishment prevailed. For wrestling, this goal was St~H . With many injuries and a lot or young wrestlers, the team as a whole wasn't able to qualify. However, teammate Joe Mason advanced from first place at Districts to place fifth at State. " f remember Districts the most since only Joe Mason qualified for State. It was the biggest achievement of the whole team.'" Larry Hastie said. "Districts were a little disappointing and there were people with injuries." While the team was not able to advance, it was not because they didn't work. The team practiced from 3: 15 to4:30 every night and had running practices every other morning from 7:00 to 8:00. "During practice we worked on calestenics, push-ups. sit-ups, matches and sprints," Jesse Hansen said. "I joined wrestling because it was an exciting sport and it was a challenge:· Wrestling was a sport that was not often noticed, but it offered a challenge for those who joined. "Wrestling appealed to me because it was a one-on-one sport. J f you messed up, you couldn't blame the team," Mason said. Wrestling was a sport that involved strategy. As in all sports. they had to be competiti ve. At practice, Aaron Jacobsen and Chris Beam run through live drills. They practiced everday after school until 4:30. (Photo by Ivy Landstrom.)

As he neared the finish line, he knew that his hard work had not been in vain. He had practice, exercised and worked for hours a week. Somehow. it all seemed worth it. "Track was really competitve and you could see if you could match up to the other runners," Peterson said. "I liked the hard work." Hard work paid off for two of the boys track members who qualified for State. Joel Brandt qualified in the 400 and Jason Conroy qualified in the 1600 and 3200. Brandt tied for ninth, just missing finals. Conroy placed ninth in the 3200. He also placed ninth in the 1600 with a careerbesttirneof 4:28:01.

"Once we got halfway through the season we did well," Melissa Hough said. "In the beginning no one knew each other, but we had good leaders who brought everyone together." One way the team overcame the lack of experience for some members was practice. The team would run on the streets and on the track to get in shape. " ff we didn 't have a meet for awhile, we would have a hard practice," Hough said. "The hard practices helped you set goals and target your pace." Overall, the girls track team was young. with only two seniors. However, the team seemed unaffected by the inexperience and showed leadership. "The team was young, but as the year went on there was a lot of improvement," Amanda English said. "We respected each other and we tried to help each other." Qua I ifications for State were a big priority for all sports. The 4x800 relay, composed of Melissa and Sarah Hough, Jeannie Mayotte and Andrea Lapham qualified for State and placed eighteenth. Also, Lapham qualified in the 400 hurdles, placing fowteenth along with April Reedy, who placed twenty-first in the 100 hurdles. "Girls track only gets one chance to qualify for State, while boys can qualify throughout the year. So advancing to State was the most exciting," Hough said. A large factor that affected the team was the weather. Snow in April and rain in May did not benefit the team. Instead it became another complication they had to face. "We weren't able to run in our first outdoor meet for a couple weeks and a lot of our meets were cancelled because of the rain," Margie Jennings said. ·'It affected us because we didn't do as well in our first outdoor meet as we had hoped." Rain or shine, the u·ack team faced the hurdles set before them. Throughout the season, they botb set and accomplished their goals while enjoying the expe1ience.

Girls held on after players were hurt With speed and determination, Amy Yochum dribbled down the field on her way to make a goal when she tripped and fell. A girl from the other team then tripped over the top of her and ended up on the ground next to her. The two girls went to get up and Yochum couldn'tget up. She ended up having to be carried off the field with help from the other team's trainer. Because of her fall. she had to have surgery at the end of the season. Later in the game a bee stung the goalie, Nikki Spetman, in her eye. She ended up sitting on the bench the rest of the game next to Yochum. The girls soccer team had a season with injuries that put them through a rough time. Some started worrying about themselves getting hurt after watching their friends get hurt. However throughout it all, the girls kept things together and came out with a season of9-9. " At the begining of the season, the injuries rea ll y started to hurt us," Tracy Lane said. "But at the end it wasn't a factor. " The g irls had quite a number of players who couldn't play because of injuries because of this they had trouble at the games.

Kristin Cooper thought it would be fun to pick up a piece of mud and throw it at Quinn Parrack. All at once, the battle began. What started out as a simple gesture, an all-out war commenced. The combat was all in fun, but after that the coaches never let chem practice outside after it rained. The JV rerun consisted of many new faces to soccer. The team was mostly made up of freshmen and lots of inexperience. Because of the inexperience, the N rerun ended up with a record of 2-10 . .. Our team was basically a lot of new players," Tiffany Marsh said. "Not only made up of mostly freshmen, but we had quite a few people that were just learning the game and that was great." Except for the mud fight, the practices were hard. They consisted of running but mostly they were a lot of drill practicing because they had to teach the new players to control the ball and score. "Ar practice the former players showed all of the new freshmen how to play," Amanda Nonnru1 said. "We had to help a lot along the way." At the practices, the uperclassmen took a large role. They had to teach and be examples for the freshmen. 'The upperclassmen were great this year," Marsh said. "Because of chem, I learned a lot and tlle year was rewarding." Even though the JV had a tough year, it was a learning experience and now they were ready to take on whatever mud was kicked at them.

Josh Jensen said. "All we did were sprints. We had to be at school at 6:45. I would say our team has done a lot better." After all of those early morning practices the team was in shape. They were ready co play and win. "It was my first year to play,·· Man Atherton said. "I was a forward and our team got better at passing and the overall playing of the game."

They had to work with fewer numbers and returning players. "We only had one other player returning besides me, so there was lack of expe1i ence with players having experience in a team situation," Josh Eve loff said. Members also had the problem of losing some matches. They had lost to Tee Jay for the fist time in ten years. " It was hard for us to lose to them," Tim Kukkone n said. " It had made the rest of our seaso n more dissapoin tin g fo r us." With disappointments a lso came success for team membe rs.

With a young N and varsity team, members had to get used to a new coach and different game styles. "Our new coach taught us a lot more about the game of tennis." Martina Howe said. "We had to learn more of the technical aspects of tennis from him." With a new team that was learning more about the game, came working hard together to make progress.

A golfer's worst nightmare, yet almost everyone had experienced it at least once while golfing. "At one game I was really nervous teeing off in front ofabout40 people," Steve Underwood said. "The first time I swung J completely missed the ball and the second time, the ball only went about ten feet." Although mistakes did occur, they didn't rule the game. With a rough start to the fall and spring season, the boy's golf team ended up doing fine. The weather played a big role in the spring season. With rainy days almost every week, the team couldn't get out and practice. "We didn't get much practice at the beginning of the season," Jason Hilz said. "We got better at the end of the season because we were able to get out and practice." Once the boys wereabletopractice, a difference could be seen in their games. The team won the city invite and placed third at the River City Conference meet. "Our goal was to be the best we could," Ray Mi!Jer said. Doing their best was always important, but being the best wasn't. Golf was golf no matter howgoodofaplayer one was. "I may not have As the ball rolls Steven Wheeler hopes for it to go in.

Part of liking the game was playing good, but the coach also played a big role. When Mrs. Neilson passed away Ln the fall season, the team mourned along with Mr. Neilson. The day of the funeral the team had a choice to make, it was also the day of Districts. After an important decision, the team ended up going to Districts. "Mr. Neilson meant a Lot to me, he was always there," Hilz said. "I wanted to win for him." After going tlu-ough such a tough time together, namrally the team became closer. "Mrs. Nei Ison' s death brought some of the new members closer to the varsity," Miller said. With all the problems the team came across, they still tried hard to be the best they could. They enjoyed the game whether t11ey won or not and made the best of it all.

The team would chip balls onto the green and when they were done, they would have to bring all the balls they hit back. "Mr. Brown accused me of not bringing enouoh balls back.'' Calli Sorensen said. "So 0 Jenny Non-nan said she'd teach me how to carry all of them back in my hands." Everyday in practice Sorensen and Nom1an would work on carrying all twenty balls in their hands while Breanne Schweer and Sarah Will stuffed the balls in their shirts. "We competed to see who could carry the most balls without cheating," Sorensen said. "If you put the balls in your pockets or shirt, that was cheating.'' By the end of the spring seas~ , Sorensen was able to carry twenty balls 111 her hands. Schweer and Will continued to cheat by carrying them in their shirts. . In matches and tournaments, the team did not cheat. They played their hardest and their efforts payed off. "We won basically all our matches,'' Schweer said. "It was my best season since my freshman year." Although the weather wouldn · t cooperate with the team, they adjusted and continued to play. With a wet and windy spring season, the girls worked even harder to play their best. "We were a young team," Schweer said "and we all knew what we had to improve on: We grew as a team and got better everyday." With individual and group improvements, the team played hard and had fun. "Golf is a sport you didn't have to be good at to enjoy," Sorensen said. Playing golf gave the members a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. How well they played wasn't the deciding factor to continue. it was the atmosphere in which they played.

The task was unmeasurable and the search for a starting place was overwhelming. Fresh summer mornings started at 8 a.m. With cheerleading camp fast approaching they worked quick to organize a cheer. They began with the basics and grew from there. After a few weeks of practice, they were prepared. "Camp was new to me, so J was a little scared about going there:' Jenny Hansen said. "After I got there, I realized that it was a great time, but was also very tiring and stressfull." Throughout their week of camp, the squad participated in various sessions. They not only learned a variety of techniques, but also the importance of squad unity. " My favorite activity at camp was the 'Shower of Compliments' activity," Tracy Lane said. "We all lined up and took turns going down the line and hugging everyone while they complimented you. Thal brought us closer together, and by the Lime we finished we were all in tears." The end of camp meant competition. Because they were nominated for the Top Team award, their determination pushed their sun - burned bodies to the max, which resulted their win for the Top Team award and a spirit stick. The bus ride home was qui et and smooth, quite a contrast to the year that was in store for them. The arrival of a new sc hool year brought with it the anual football picnic, pep assemblies and football dinners followed by the weekly Friday night football game. Among other things. they were required to maintain a positive spirit, a task that was not always easily accomplished.

The familiar s~ent of buttery hash brown patties and melred cheese crossantwich sandwiches were irresistable at 7:30 in the morning. Visiting the restaurant became an anticipated daily ritual for some JV cheerleaders. Early practices served as more thanjusr an opportunity to perfect the squad, but a great excuse to retreat co their favorite fast food place afterwards. "We decided who would go by seeing how many people we could smash into a couple of cars." Krista Alba said. "Going there nearly every morning and talking about something other than cheerleading gave us a chance to learn more about each other. Plus, we had a good breakfast too! " However, it was more than just early rehearsals that bound the squad together. Friendship and trust did as well. Two important qualities that allowed the team to function smoothly. "JV had a very unique quality:· sponsor, Kathy Wesrphal said. "They were friends and teammates at the same time. That was usually not too common, escpecially among a group of teenage girls." JV squad members were not only close, but dedicated as well. Throughout the season they cheered at all home and away JV and Reserve games, and attended all home Varsity games. Cheerleading was ofren their first priority on their school and social schedules. "I had a game to cheer at nearly every night of the week, and a lot of weekends coo.·· Elin Bocker! said. " le was really hard to be commited to cheerleading and school at the same time." While the JV squad personalities meshed near perfecrly, the freshmen cheerleading squad had a little more diJficulry. Soon after cheerleading began the squad became divided and argumentative. Cheerleading became a stressful! chore for freshmen caprains forced to listen to the complaints. ''At firsr the squad was di vided into two clicky groups." Elizabeth Norman said. "The two groups had a lot of problems and fights. Then there were two people thal separated from the groups so, everyone picked on them too." As the year progressed, the freshmen squad learned to cope with their problems and began to function as a productive squad. With the help of Westphal, they choreographed a routine which they competed with. "I loved practicing our dance, cheers and stunts together over Christmas break." Norman said. '"lt was the first time 1 felt like we were really a team. Even though we didn't place in the competition, we all had a great time celebrating our effort afterwards." For both squads. cheerleading had provided a year of learning and growing. They came to know a lot about one another and grew closer together. The sport that had unired them soon ended, but the friendship it brought still remained.

A trip to Nationals and a cheer called "Hercules" kept this squad together With the competiti veness of Nationals, team work and sportsmanship was a must.

The pommers were on a bus with another squad, on their way to Epcot Center in Florida, when one of the girls from the other squad shouted "Let's do 'Hercules!" Nicki Bomgaars and Molly Gordon laughed a little, but once they saw the little cheer. they thought it was cute and asked if the other squad could teach it to them. The other squ ad was fri endly and showed them the cheer. "At Nationals all of th e different squads had to be friendly to one another.

Some took the short cuts while others took the long way around. No matter which way they went, the Class of '97 had the same destination in sight: Graduation. The high school journey was a long one. They learned lessons for life and prepared for the real world. They supported, encouraged and taught eachother. The class of 1997 encountered many common obstacles along the way, passing junior english, driver's tests and rebuilding sports teams were a few. After reaching their destination the seniors realized the journey ahead was an even longer one. This time they would not have their classmates treading the same path beside them. This difficult journey was going to be traveleld alone. What the seniors had were the exp eriences and memories collected along the way to support, encourage and teach themselves on their new journey. With this in mind, they would not let road blocks or detours slow them down. They would not be stopped.

"But after we got on the subway, we were told our exit was closed."

Some students stopped doing their homework altogher. others skipped a lot more classes than normal, and in quite a few cases. some even graduated early.

Blank faces stared at numbers, letters. dates and words that seemed meaningless and impossible to learn. Teachers searched fo r a reliable reason as to why students continued to struggle with classroom work. However, the cause for fa ilure most commonly overlooked was the student's gender, which affected the success they experienced in certain subjects. At the University of Pennsylvania, studies of the male and fema le brain showed there was a difference in the way men and women learned. Females learned to read, write and spell quicker because they possessed bener auditory, verbal and motor skills. Males, on the other hand, progressed faster in math and science because they had more advanced visual and perception skills. Students discover that gender differences may be the cause for difficulties in some classes "The girls enjoyed reading more than the boys in my class," Carol Tiller, special education teacher, said.

"T strived to be the best that I could be, and I haven't let myself down yet." Coppock's dedication could be seen by the number of sports he played. He was active in football, basketball and soccer. He also played baseball for awhile. His strive to be the best left him with many recognitions. He was All-City and All-Conference for soccer in 1996, and A 11-Ci t y, A II-Con Ference.

" He would work with me during off seasons to improve my skills." Not on ly did Shad help Coppock improve his techniques, but he introduced him to athletics in the begi nning. " My clad, Shad, my brother Todd and I would always be playing one sport or another," he said. "Because Shad was older, I looked up to him, and wanted to be like him. He was my hero."

Above all, Kehm claimed that All State was the highest singing related accomplishment one could receive in high school.

After two previous failed attempts to make t11e All State Honor Choir, Kehm was determined and prepared to be a senior member. "When I got the results that I didn 't make it l was crushed," Kehm said. "You know that feeling you get, right in the center of your gut, when your sad and depressed? It was there, and it was huge."

"I remember crying myself to sleep that night," Kehm said. " I woke up the next morning and thought to myself~1at moaping around was silly and pointless. So I went for a3og and felt tons better." The iITesistible desire Kehm !Cit for music was quickly restored. Within her wounded soul, confidence reappeared and her content for music remained unharmed. Her disappointment was disguised by her unfailing familiar smile. To others, Kehm appeared stronger than ever. . "Danna worked extremely hard all three years she tned out for All State," Lee Spann said. "J respected her so much for the way she handled failure. She always had a very positive, great attitude for music that never changed." "For me, performing was one tremendous rush," Kehm said. "When I was on staoe I was forced to smile and act awake and excited. And it rubbed off and I'd come off stage alive and ready to go again.'' ' After dozens of perfom1ances, there was only a few Kehm remembered best.

"We were performing with swing choir in front of a huge audience our sophomore year," Breanne Schweer said "Somehow, Danna had tucked the back of her dress up int~ her pantyhose and w~und up performing that way!

Bl ue yearbook and production assistant for Cox Cable, Your News 2. Scheer's interestinjournalism was strange in the sense that she got this far from "accidents." As a freshman, Scheer took an Introduction to Journalism class only because she needed another credit. However, she liked it, so she signed up for yearbook. Scheer admitted she was intimidated her first year. "The upperclassmen would sit at the computers and they wouldn' teven acknowledge us," Scheer said. "Then again, that motivated me to put more effort in my stories." BecauseofScheer's dedication to meet deadlines with high quality, she was named people editor for her junior year. Besides her leadership responsibilities for yearbook, she was a reporter for AL Insider. "It was a tough year," Scheer said. " I was new at editing and reporting. r had double the deadlines and double the responsibilities." Scheer handled the pressure welJ. At the insider banquet, she received awards for the second Best Feature Story and runner-up for Best Story of the Year. Thanks to her awards she won during her first year, she was named Repo1ter of the Year. "I couldn't believe that I got those awards, especially Reporter of the Year," Scheer said. "I was in the running against a couple seniors and L thought they would never elect a rookie." After the awards for the 1995-96 season, applications for editorial positions for the 1996-97 staff followed. "Somehow my name ended up on the list to apply for producer," Scheer said. "I didn't want to say no so I just filled ouL the forms. r didn 't think I had a chance anyway." To her surprise, Scheer was accepted as one of the two "l started out rippin g scri pts and running tbe teleprompter or camera," she said. "But then in December 1 was moved up to production assistant. Then. i nsteacl of just being an intern, I got paid." Even though Scheer was always on the run, she was confident it would all pay off. "It gave me a lot of leadership skills and first-hand experience that I could take with me. I was always learning something new and getting better at what I did." She was not sure whether she wanted to major in print or broadcast journalism, or where she wou Id go lo college. Jenni Underwood, editor-in-chief of the yearbook, was confident Scheer would excel in whatever she chose. "Sarah's going to be someone someday," Underwood said. "She wasn't afraid to take risks. Whatever it took. Sarah met the challenge." With Underwood's experience, she thought Scheer had what it took to be a journalist. "She was very goal-oriented and talented," Underwood said. "She was independent, but on the other hand, she also worked well with others. She was a strong leader and very motivating." Sarah said she relied on motivation. She strived to make her work the best and thought the most rewarding moment was when she got to see her finished project. "There were times when the pressure got to me and l just fe lt li ke quiting," Scheer said. "But then 1' d get such a rush from seeing myselfon the TV screen or reading my name in the yearbook. That's what really kept me going." It was Scheer's love of journalism and need for perfection that kept her after school day after clay. Every finished deadline moved Scheer a step closer to her dream. By MeUssa Wagner In order to meet a yearbook deadline, Sarah Scheer helps Jenni Underwood place a story.

(Photo by Lindsay McElderry) 1 b The crowd was awed by his amazing abilities along with his strength and focus. He perfectly performed his routine nine and a half feet above the ground on the still rings. He attempted a double flip as the crowd he ld their breath. When Matt Kenkel fell head fast to the floor, the crowd gasped. "I tried to do two flips, but I got lost somewhere in the middle and did one and a half, " Kenkel said, " It didn't hurt, itjustshocked me." Mistakes, however, weren 'tcommonduring performances for Kenkel. It was near perfection that won him a nationaJ award, took him to State, and the Junior Olympics. From the Lime he was tluee years old, Kenke l flipped and tumbled in and out of the gym. When he began, gymnastics was just something for Ke nkel to do, but soon there was a goal to achieve. "We put him in gymnastics as sort of an outlet for energy," Gail Kenkel, Matt's motl1er, said. "It was like, here try tl1is. After awhile, he just got hooked." Kenkel practiced at the gym three nights a week from six until nine. His coaches, Todd Crouse and George Hall, not only helped him perfect his routines, but inspired him as well. "Todd had done in the sport what I wanted to do." Kenkel said. " l wanted to be a college gymnast and compete at tl1e Olympics in the year 2000.'' Kenkel worked hard to change his dreams to reality. In August of 1996, Kenkel competed at the Junior Olympics in New Orleans. LA. He finished e leventh overall. Kenke l said he could have clone better, but he was sick with strep throat for part of t11e week. Ke nke l also achieved the title of National Vault Champion in 1995. Kenkel' s other achievements included receiving the Joel Ferre l I award and a nomination for the row a Gymnast of the Year. "A coach who watched me perform nominated me for the Iowa Gymnast award. not my own coaches.'' Kenkel said. "Even thoug h 1 didn't receive it, I felt honored because sophomo res weren' t usually nominated." He did. however, receive the Joel Ferre ll award. The award was given to one male and one female gymnast in tile nation for their leadership skills and abiUty. The award was presented to him at the Junior Olympics. "l was surprised when tlley called my name. I had no idea tllat I was in the runnino for it," Kenkel said. "' Despite all tl1e hours of hard work Kenkel spent in the gym, he still made time for his friends, school and work. " Matt wasn't left out of the social circle at all," Chris Machmuller said. "We went to football games and did things other teenagers did." Kenkel' s mother agreed that he was able to handle everything just fine. "He gave it all up willingly," she said. "It was his decision to continue to focus on gymnastics and go for the goals he made." Kenkel's parents suppo11ed him over tile years. They went to meets and showed him how much they cared. "They were supportive, but tlley didn't pressure me," Kenke l said. "Basically. tlley were the nonnal proud parents.'' His parents never pushed, they always made sure what he did was what he wanted. "Life is fo ll of decisions," Mrs. Kenkel said. "We didn't force him, it was his choice . We've always made sure he continued on his own will." Altllough his main focus was on gymnastics, Kenkel also got invoJved in otller activities. He played tile French horn in band and tile trumpet in jazz band, he nm hurdles for track and was on the basebal I team. and also a part of National Honors Society and the Sci~nce Club. With not much free time and a lot to do. some wondered why he continued to do gymnastics. "Ifs what defined me," Kenkel said. " It's just what I did." Gymnastics was what Kenke l did, rmd he was good at it. He worked hard to pursue his goals and never gave up, no matte r what happened. Even a fall on his head during a routine didn't phase him-too much.

Ammie Campbell made her way down the hallways of Kim and entered the handicapped room where she volunteered. She wondered why the room was so clean. It was never this clean. She sat down with the other students to play a game, but was distracted when a camera crew entered the room. TY news reporter Caroll Schrader asked if she was Ammie Campbell, then congratulated her for being the recipient of Channel 7's 'Puning People First' award. "My mom had nominated me buc r had no idea about it," Campbell said. ' 'They taped the entire surprise and put it on the news. It was pretty cool." The day she was recognized by the community for her volunteer work was unlike any other for Campbell, but she didn' t devote so much of herself to others for the awards. Campbell volunteered as a helper in the handicapped room not because she had to, because she wanted to. "Everyone at school was really mean to the handicapped kids," Campbell said. "Over time I became one of their friends and someone they depended on. I liked it when they came up to me in the hallways and gave me hugs." Having a student helper in the room had a strong impact on the handicapped students. Campbell proved that she was not like everyone else. "Ammie didn' t treat the kids any differently. She would do things like look through magazines with the kids just as she would do with her own friends," Pat Bennett, a teacher's assistant, said. ''The kids had problems just like anyone else, and they liked having the opportunity to talk to someone their own ageaboutthem." Campbell's nature wasn't to sit around and feel sorry for those in need. She acted upon her concerns. " I guess I just had a super-tender heart because every time I saw a homeless person 1 wanted to cry," Campbell said. "I used to drive past the Micah House eve1yday, so one day J stopped in." While many teenagers complained when they had to clean their rooms, Campbell gave up weekends and took notice. vacations to do most of the cleaningandchoresat the shelter. Helping out in the smallest ways gave Campbell a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. "I would make posters and play with the kids at the shelter,,. Campbell said. ''The kids were just happy to have someone there to play with them." The special bonds Campbel I shared with those she helped kept her wanting to do more and more good deeds. She gave up every Saturday and began candy striping at Jennie Edmudson Hospital. Her generosity was sincere and others "Ammie always displayed a positi ve, helpful attitude," Sarah Huckins, a fellow candy striper, said. "After Ammie left patients' rooms, I would hear them say how nice she was. That reflected well on Ammie and the program." Helping others was not just a phase Campbell went through, but something she wanted to continue for the rest of her Life. She planned to become a teacher for handicapped children because helping others helped Campbell become someone she was happy with. "Volunteering gave Ammie a great attitude about everything else in her life,'' Jeremy Campbell, her brother, said. "I thought it was great that she liked helping people." Suppo1t from fami ly and friends meant a lot to Campbell. It didn't take awards for those close to her to recognize how hard Campbell worked to help others. "Ammie always put people ahead of herself," Emily Reeder, Campbell's friend, said. "She gave everyone a chance. It didn't matter what they looked like, who they were or what background they came from." To touch others' li ves with compassion and kindness was not only an ability Campbell possessed but something she thrived on. The satisfaction she received from helping others was worth more to her than any award. By Sarah Scheer Roles reversed, Ammie Campbell eats a spoonful of applesauce from the child she babysits.

Along with the rest of the team, he practiced hard, improved his moves and perfected his The night after tryouts Cannon received the call from cheerleading sponsor, Ronda Nieto, who told him he had made lhe junior varsity squad. At firsL no one knew how sportsmanship. He was loud and spirited just like his teammates. The only difference was he didn't shave his legs, and he never wore a skirt. r:' ve.. ~ \ '-VC\."(f bee"' o ~~ to +Y'f ~e..\.V +~;~t . So) ~"'e\\ committed Cannon was about cheering. It wasn't until the first day of school, when all the cheerleaders wore their uniforms, lhat they knew he was serious. According lo Cannon, being different was hard, but being AL's only male cheerleader was a challenge. "I was used to being the center of attention because I'd been in a lot of plays. bul being a cheerleader was different," Cannon said. "I felt like the crowd was constantly critiquing me because I was lhe only male ~'l"ist-"- J "'<.obt&\ bV'o "'j "+ i.A.~ +"'4,. 1'().t~ "f- ~t.t.vl tqd, ~ J :r: !t:t1tA/'&J'1or Jo.-.,._, ~S~ ~.e...-f~ .... +Yyi~ o~1""? 1 ' ·Tue first day of school I got a lot of positive comments alono . 0 with about six negative ones;· Cannon said. "I think people who put me down for being a cheerleaderdid il because they were not used to seeing male cheerleaders.·' ~11lt--- According to his squad co-captain, Melissa Wohlers,judging by Cannon's altitude at practice he seemed 10 enjoy practicing and cheering. on the squad." Before tryouts, during his sophomore year, Cannon never considered Lrying out for cheerleading. It wasn't until haJ fway through first quarter, that he even took cheerleading seriously, when his friend Krista Jacobsen, suggested he tryout. ''When Kiista first mentioned that I should go out for cheerleading, she was just joking. But after I thought about it awhile, I thought, maybe it is something I'd want to lry." With cheerleading Lryouts fast approaching in April, Cannon had to decide whether he should tryout for cheerleading. He sought advise from Jo Cupp, his English instructor. "I encouraged Shawn to tryout for cheerleading when everyone else was telli ng him not to," Cupp said. "I knew he could do it, and he's a easy person to get along with." Two days before tryouts Cannon told his parents he had decided to t1yout for cheerleading. He missed the first day of practice, therefore he only had the remaining two scheduled practice days and the weekend lo !cam lhe tryout dance. two cheers, make up a chant and perfect his jumps. All the odds were against him, but Cannon remained determined to make the squad. "Shawn's a very dedicated person. If he decided to do somethi ng, he's going to give it his all," said Jim Cannon, Shawn·s father. "Shawn talked to a male cheerleader over the internet who had gotten a scholarship from cheerleading. I think knowing that really inspired him:· ·'Shawn's a positive person. and he's fun to be around." Wohlers said. ·'He fit in well, just like any other person on the squad. We needed more guys like Shawn on the squad. It's just that people made ha vino a ouy on the squad up to be a lot more than it really was." "" "' Cannon was prepared and anxious to see just how people would react to him at his first pep assembly. He was overwhelmed when nearly half of the student body gave him a standing ovation. Cannon was just as pleased with the positive response of the crowd toward him at the football games. "Cheerleading was a really great experience," said Cannon. ''I'd definitely encouraged other males to tryout for cheerleading for the same reason l would have encouraoed girls. It was fun and something to do." 0 As far as other activities went, Cannon claimed he would continue to participate in all of his cu1Tent perfo1111ino art activities and clubs. However. sports would remain a thing of Cannon's pasl. ·'People were always asking me why I didn'tplay football. Well, I wasn't good at football:· Cannon said. ··1 couldn·t he! p it if l don't tit their standards. The only thing u1at mattered to me was what I thought.·· Mosl people accepted and respected the factthat there was a male cheerleader. Those who didn't were invisible to Shawn. "People were entitled to say what they wanted:· Cannon said. "but like l'vc always said. never take to heart lhe opinions of people you don't respect.'"

Not as many businesses developed in the area as in years past. Several closed down including Homers, Valentinos on Broadway and quite a few shops in the Mall of the Bluffs. The recent development of the casinos, and the restaurants and hotels in the Lake Manawa area may have slowed business down, forcing a few to close.

I guess you could say we've accomplished our goal-we may have been slowed down, worked to death and tired, but we were never stopped! The last three years have been very n1emorable, in fact the list of memories could go on forever. Most importantly,· we grew as friends yet became individuals. The lessons learned in room 234 did not stop with journalism but continued with life. As far as tips for life are concerned we should survive if we remember to listen to Smashing Pumpkins at least once a day, eat beans, never chew on foil and just be your "Basic girls". For a few of us, the last two summers have been yearbook "bonding" experiences. Both Dana College and UNL will never be forgotten. What will we do next fall when don't have any stupid Jenni stories to laugh at? Wagner and Quigley, I suggest you learn the Hymleck maneuver, and Lisa, always carry a spare key to the bathroom. Even though only a few of us got to enjoy summer workshops, we all got the pleasure of attending the retreat. That was the first time we realized exactly how extremely different we all were. In fact, the only thing we could all agree on was Body, Mind and Soul (Everyone except for Sharpe anyway!) It is amazing how each one of us (unique as we were) contributed to such an important part to the book. It couldn't have been done without every single person. Thank you to every one of you, your hard work and dedication was appreciated. Most of all thank you to Sarah Scheer. Sarah was my cheerleader when I was down, kicked me in the butt when I gave up and a friend when I needed it most. This book wouldn't have been done without her. Her strength, talent and dedication really shined this year. Get her autograph now because she's going to be something some day! By the way, what was that you ran over Sarah, a deer, dog, or woodchuck? Whatever it was, it must have been in disguise! We were quite a team. A team that shared the joys of winning (are you sure there's not another AL?), the tears and heartaches of growing up (He gave me a seashell), and the pride of success (my file cabinet shrine is better than yours!) Where ever life may lead you please hold precious the memories we shared. We have created friendships for a lifetime. With the wisdom and knowledge we have instilled in one another the world is in our hands. We will not be stopped. Ready to go home, Sharpe, Kelly Quigley and Sarah Scheer wait for the limos to take them to the airport. Enjoying thier first night in Chicago Thatcher, McElderry, Scheer, Berner, Kracher and Underwood relax with dacquari. After a long week, Lindsay McElderry, Sarah Scheer and Lisa Berner ride to the Chicago airport in a spacios limosine. Atthe NHSPAjournalism convention Jenni Underwood and Lisa Berner got superior ratings in their write-off contests. Those pesky newspaper people! Lindt s a y McElderry and Carrie Thatcher share a bonding moment.
