Austin High School - Castilleja Yearbook (Austin, NV)

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1985 volume:

The 1984-1985 school year has had its usual ups and downs, but to me it seems the ups have been higher and the downs not as low. This year has seen new students and staff members and, I feel, the educational program has made definite progress. I was proud to see even more of our students journey to Washington, D.C. this year to see our government at work as well as many of the historical sites of our country. My personal reward has, once again, come from seeing our young people grow, develop, and learn. When you people of A.H.S. put your heart into a game and are then big enough to congratulate the team that beats you —I feel proud beyond words. When a student comes to me and is honest enough to admit what they did and accept punishment, I can’t help but feel that we have some of the finest people in the world right here in Austin.

Mrs. Jung (Center Front) is advisor. Austin Schools P.O. Box 160 Austin, Nevada Home of the Broncos, Fillies, and Colts Yearbook Advisor—Mrs. Long Editor — Holly Collier Principal—Gary Pierson Secretary—Mrs. Dalluge Superintendent—Leon Hensley Yearbook Staff: Thor Wiegman Willie Evans Charlie Evans Rick Stokoe Toni Appelberg Gretchen Alsdorf Holly Collier tells us that “Life is fun if you make it that way.” Her school ac- complishments show three years in Yearbook, being editor this year. She was Captain of both Volleyball and Basketball, being the “most inspirational player” in Volleyball her Junior year. She ran track, was a Cheerleader and Drill Team member as well as being president of GAA. She also participated in FBLA. Life is active for Holly. David McKnight led Austin High School as Stu- dent Body President. He played basketball gaining the “Most Improved Player” award his Junior year and being Captain his Senior year. He ran Cross Country and Track as well as the Big Creek Run. Block A, Drama, FBLA, Close-up, Science Club, Yearbook, Class Offices took his time while he won awards in Who’s Who, Academic All American, and Speech con- tests statewide. The class of 1985 will certainly be remembered as a class of quality, not quantity! All five members have worked hard and long on various activities to leave their mark on AHS. In 1983-1984 they sponsored dances, candy sales, and fruitcake sales to raise $600 for the Junior Prom. They ushered in the sale of carnations on Valentine’s Day —1983-1984, Candy Canes at Christmas —1984-1985, and the showing of popular movies charging ad- mission in 1985. And Austin will never forget the last of the great Pie Eating Contests!! As their advisor for two years, I can honestly say they are really five terrific people. They have high goals that can easily be reached with the potential they have. They are all talented and are successful in their areas of interest. I only wish they weren’t leaving Austin High School in May. They will certainly be missed. I wish them all the best of everything. You’re really great!! , 4 Sarah Rose, the Student Body VP, has actively served the school as a cover artist and as a member of FBLA, Photo Club, Science Club, 4H, and yearbook. For three years she has run her own taxider- my business from her home. Her work has been printed in national taxidermy magazines and has won blue ribbons and a silver platter in county fairs. She was interviewed by the Nevada magazine. ft . Steve Stanello joined Austin High School in the fall of 1983. Steve par- ticipates in the Photo Club and the Spanish Club. He enjoys using the Spanish that he knows in speaking to people from Spanish language backgrounds. His plans for the future are to improve the government. Steve leaves us with this thought. “I do not wish to live what is not life.” Thor Wiegman joined Austin H.S. in January ’84. He is Senior Class Presi- dent, Photo Club President, as well as an active partici- pant in Drama, Speech, and Yearbook. Thor can easily be found working in the darkroom. He plans to join the Air Force after gradua- tion. He leaves us with this thought: “While we may let the meaning of life elude us, we must always be in search of the meaning of love.” 5 New Year — New Beginning The Juniors started the year with a new ad- visor, Miss Filippini, and with the hope and desire for 7 Juniors to go to Close-up in Washington D.C. Due to lack of funds, two will wait until next year. Many Juniors were successful in basketball, either as cheerleaders or as members of the team. We were proud to have Roy and Steph as all-stars in the McDermitt Tourney. Clay and Liz were successful in Rodeo, improving almost every weekend. Our biggest project this year was the Junior Senior Prom. We began planning it from day 1 and hoped to make it the most successful. Theme: “Time After Time”. The Juniors are sure that the year of 1985 is one that will always remain in their memories.

The Sophomore Class is on the move! They aim to make their last years in school the best. Pictured on the left are the Class Of- ficers along with their advisor, Mr. Long, who has faithfully kept them going for two years. Tonya Campbell as Vice President is full of ideas and sparks the class. Paul Pryor, Presi- dent, keeps the class headed in the right direc- tion. Alex Rose keeps the peace as Sergeant- at-Arms. The secretary, Dianna Elkins, gets the job done. The total class is active in school sports, cheerleading, or drill team. They thrived fix- ing up the Halloween Spook House. Their goal is to make their Junior Year 85-86 even better! Kelli True Robin Ward Hans Wiegman Cluas ©fi 'BB The class of 1988 will always be remembered as a hard- working class. Led by their president, Joey Ramos, Vice- President Stephen Lani, and Secretary-Treasurer Bobby Helming, the group raised somewhere in the area of $750.00 during the 1983-84 school year. They used the money to take an end-of-the-year field trip. They visited hot spots like Alcatraz, Marriotts, and Fisherman’s Wharf, just to name a few. The Freshman Class would like to thank all who supported them in their fund raising ac- tivities. Mr. and Mrs. Tremayne have been the continuous active advisors for the class. Sheila Linhart has the distinc- tion of being the only girl in the class. And who could ever forget their sucker sales??? Photo at Left pictures Mr. Tremayne with the Freshmen officers. Joey Ramos, not pictured, was off at yet another shoot. Perhaps the ’88 Olympics? Joey Dory Bobby Helming Stephen Lani Sheila Linhart Andy Long Steve Zeller This year’s eighth grade class has much energy and drive with Sharolyn Young as President. Great bake sales, caramel apple making and sausage cheese door-to-door sales kept Rachel Alsdorf hopping as Fund-Raising Chair- man (a position suggested by Mr. Cox, who is their am- bitious advisor). Wendy Long as Vice-President, Diane Monger as Secretary, Darren Temple as Treasurer, and Darrell Temple as Sergeant-at-Arms kept the group runn- ing smoothly. n Darrell Temple Darren Temple Shawn Thomas Sharolyn Young Rachel Alsdorf Penny Collier Wendy Long Diane Monger Mike Ryan The Seventh Grade Class this year was led by Bruce Coffman as President, John Appelberg as Sergeant-at-Arms, and Darby Sides as Vice-President pictured to the left with Mrs. Long who is the class advisor. Julie Edgington is the class secretary, but is not pictured. Half-way through the year, Lauren Lani was elected President. The sponge throw was great! Denise Alsdorf John Appelberg Bruce Coffman Robby Combs Lauren Lani 9 Austin Elementary School continues to expand with new students. The 5th and 6th grades, taught by Mrs. Pier- son, have stayed small, but Miss Ganske’s first year at Austin brought a booming classroom of 20 3rd and 4th graders. Miss Benbow, who has faithfully taught Austin’s 1st and 2nd grades for 4 years, has the largest class yet with 27 students. Miss Williams has been her classroom aide this year which has made the teaching task possible. All of these teachers have combination grades and deserve tremendous commen- dation for excelling at an ex- tremely hard task. Miss Gandolfo continues to teach the Kindergarten in the morning while teaching P.E. to the elementary grades in the afternoon along with other duties. Elementary teaching at Austin consists of teaching most subjects within the self- contained classroom. This year the school has been bless- ed with a voluntary music pro- gram directed by Karen Chap- pell and DeeEdrah White who volunteer their skills each Tuesday.

With all they do we can see why! 16c 16d t i rs in mi e? The Austin Student Council, this year, is in the process of becoming responsible leaders. Learning to cooperate among themselves to become effective are qualities they are reaching. Although these qualities have not yet been fully reached, this year has been one successful step. The Austin Student Council has just begun using parliamentary procedure. It’s a com- plicated process, but we’re working at it, and in the years to come it will be a pleasure to see the meetings run in an effective but speedy manner. The Austin Student Council holds much leadership potential. Their struggle now will be get- ting the “potential” into action. I have a feeling students at AHS will soon be seeing a powerful and positive Student Council in the years to come.

Rodeo Club with strong parental support gives willing par- ticipants the chances to use those skills they have developed working with horses. They also have rugged competition from other students outside of Austin. Photo club works hard to train students to be proficient at taking pictures as well as developing them for personal or school use. Students in FBLA begin to function as real business leaders, while the Spanish Club tries to strengthen development of a new culture along with practice. The one problem had with this new student participation is this. When do you schedule meetings without conflicts?

Many pies are baked and raffled off just for this purpose, along with any other idea that can materialize. On the left we see Liz Williams and advisor Miss Filip- pini ready to take a sale from Lavar Young. The students also receive donations from peo- ple who believe it is a great opportunity for Austin Youth. U ti The Close-Up students began with this group. Front: Jackie Knapton, Stephanie Campbell. Back: Liz Williams, Candi Ryan, Scott Berg, Clay Dalluge, and original ad- visor, Mr. Tremayne. Miss Filippini assumed advisor- ship after Mr. Tremayne was needed to coach all three basketball teams. All active students and faculty get plenty of respon- sibilities in a small dynamic school like ours. MAC — Mothers Always Care MAC was formed by Mrs. Lavar Young’s efforts to get interested parents to provide special activities for Austin’s 7-12th grade youth. A mock rodeo, a games night, and a Spanish fiesta with Mexican Food and slides from Spain were experienced. A true highlight was the Philippine dinner presented this past fall with true Philippine food being served and enjoyed by our Nevada youth. Parents contributed the food, and the cooking was a new adventure that required exchanging recipes and a few phone calls. To the left is a picture of Candi Ryan, Jackie Knapton, and Sharolyn Young learning the Philippine dance from Virginia Anthony who has recently arrived in the U.S. from the Philippines. We all heard clicking bamboo for weeks as they jumped to keep their ankles free. Virginia showed slides and gave a talk that really challenged some young Austin minds. ’(Name suggested by Mary Ann Jones) 21 Block A, the athletic Letterman’s Club deserves much applause for their efforts this year. Headed by Coach Tremayne, and constantly assisted by his lovely wife Sharon, the group has arranged for special events which not only raise money for the increasing expenses for participating in sports, but the events sponsored are actually great entertain- ment for the town of Austin. Top right photo pictures a member of the Harlem Travelers, a comedy basketball team that kept everyone in stitches since if they didn’t like the way you were doing something, they would take time out right then and show you how. Just a short time before the game, the coach had installed a new glass backboard which had been shattered a few weeks before. Within the opening moments of the tricks with the Harlem Travelers, it shattered again. Block A also sponsored a Turkey Shoot pic- tured to the right. This year at each of the games, Block A is providing delicious dinners as a fund raiser. This keeps everyone busy. Great work, Guys!

This year’s team lacked experience and hopeful- ly next year’s team will be and do better because they should have more experience, also more determination and self control. I anticipate a better season next year than we had this year. Records as recorded: North Tahoe: David McKnight 29th. Roy Johnson 15th. Steve Zeller 38th. South Tahoe: David McKnight 32nd.

Their record included seven wins and six losses. Coach Tremayne says, “The 1984 Colts were a proud team. They worked well together and strived to be the best that they could be. It has been a pleasure working with all of them.” Photo above left: The team moves into action with the jump ball. Photo above: Bobby Stallard shoots for free throw points.

It was spent working on fun- damentals and learning to play “team” basketball. The Bron- cos are filled with potential and will one day make both school and community proud. Players: Joey Ramos, David McKnight, Johnny Helming, Paul Pryor, Alex Rose, Scott Berg, Clay Dalluge, Steve Zeller, and Roy Johnson. David McKnight is Captain and also the only Senior on the team. Front: Darby and Lenny, managers, and Coach. 28 Homecoming brings out much energy from Scott Berg and David McKnight as they leap for the rebound against the tough Alamo Panthers. The Broncos made it to State and played a good first half against Virginia City which came in with a 67 game winning streak. The last home game played against McDermitt was an awesome win with a lead of 26 points. The team was together and thrilled the crowd.

Not only have they perfected routines that keep the crowds interested and cheer- ing, their peppy bounces and enthusiasm makes Austin’s school spirit soar as one! They support the boys and always encourage them, win or lose. Pictured above are the three Varsity Cheerleaders: Captain Stephanie Campbell, Liz Williams, and Candi Ryan, joined by advisor Val Gandolfo and the agile school mascot, Tonya Campbell. L988-88 J.V. This year’s J.V. Team shows great stamina and promise for the future basketball teams of Austin. Five Freshmen and two Sophomores kept the court alive.

Cheerleaders — Nobody does it better! Dianna Elkins and Jackie Knapton are this year’s J.V. Cheerleaders. They went to sum- mer cheerleaders camp at BYU and had a BLAST! Both girls are learning greatly from the Varsity Cheerleaders and from the crowd. It’s fun, even though most of the bus trips are too long. Miss Gandolfo, the advisor, has shown the girls new moves. Hopefully next year they will be even better with another summer camp. The photo at the right shows the J.V. Girls: From Top to Bottom: Dianna Elkins, Jackie Knapton, Advisor Valerie Gandolfo, and the talented Bronco Mascot, Tonya Campbell.

He kept us going and he helped us get better. We appreciate all he did for us. We kept him smil- ing and he kept us smiling. We all look forward to seeing him coach us next year, too. Thanks, Coach.” Picture at Left: One of the Fillies’ favorite places to be ... on the FLOOR! Picture at Right: Tonya Campbell moves with speed down the court dur- ing the homecoming game.

On determined days of the week, students (and a few brave faculty) dressed up as Nerds, Jocks and Jockettes, Twins, Pajama Partiers, and most of all SPIRIT! During the week there were posters made by all classes including the elementary school. Nominees for Homecoming Court were chosen and flowers were ordered for the Court as well as for the ladies. Much work was put in on the decorations by the GAA who gave time to make this a big success. On the 26th, the Broncos and the Fillies played against the Alamo Panthers. At half time the Court was announced by Mr. Long and Tasha Mock. Photo on Opposite Page: Stephanie Campbell was First Princess, Rick Stokoe, Escort.

Both Closeup and the Juniors had slave auctions to earn money, and bidding was high! At left notice Mr. Long jangling the tamborine to raise interest in smiling Johnny Helming. Below left, look at the crowd ready to bid. Lani and Andy look ready for a move while Robin does not look in- terested. Below middle: “What are we bid for a red-head?” And then once you have a slave, what do you do with them? One had to wear a dog col- lar and bark for her master. The only trouble is that some slaves enjoy their condition as shown below right by the infamous Evans brothers. Oh well! For other laughs you can always attend a Dolly Parton- Kenny Rogers Concert held at our own gym.

DRAMATISTS MAKE THE UGLY DUCKLING BEAUTIFUL! Comments of “excellent” and “superb” gave the casts heady feelings after successful productions of two one-act plays. Hard work amid the basketball season kept the dramatists busy finding costumes, memorizing lines, and where did they finally dig up those white gloves? Many students finished flats with half the school gone to State. The Ugly Duckling starred David McKnight annd Tasha Mock as their Majesties, Scott Berg and Steph Campbell as younger royalty with Clay, Stephen and Candi as support cast. Far left: Princess rubs cramp and discovers Prince. Below left: Queen Tasha puts Chancellor in place. Below: Finale! “NOTHING IN THE TELLING” This comedy-adventure was thoroughly enjoyed with many giggles from the cast. Above left: The High School Girls Police Woman Mary Jones are astound- ed with the mysterious Vivienne LaFarge played by Jackie Knap- ton. A rummage sale is more ex- citing when your imaginations run away from you. Picture below left: Dianna Elkins, Wendy Long, and Robin Manz interpret the misplaced letter. Picture bot- tom left: Mary is completely unseated after falling on the slip- pery floor and being covered with the blanket. Even the au- dience could feel a few drops of water from that famous “bucket scene” which Wendy always avoided. This lower corner shows backstage people: Miss Benbow directed “Nothing in the Telling” while teaching 1st and 2nd grade between times! Her class got a special performance for patience. Charlie is caught during Drama Class ironing the props. Mrs. Long’s English classroom served as a i housing all costumes while she directed “Ugly Duckling”. CASTILLEJA STAFF: (Back) Rick Stokoe Thor Wiegman Mary Ann Jones Willie Evans Kim Stewart Mrs. Long (Front) Charlie Evans Holly Collier, Editor Toni Appelburg Gretchen Alsdorf Steve Stanello It takes a lot of cooperation to put together a yearbook. This year Thor and his gang put together a darkroom and produced usable prints. Pretty important when you live in Austin! New advisor was at the same place as the staff in hav- ing to learn each step. Hopefully it will have captured this year for you!

I would like to thank our prin- cipal, Mr. Gary Pierson, for all the positive work he has done to make Austin School a great place to be. I feel good about the appearance of the school, the quality of the teachers, and the courtesy given to each of us as parents as we enter the school building. PTA is for everyone. It takes everyone of us supporting all these children for them to reach their highest degree of understanding. This organization’s soul purpose is to do all it can to help children in all phases of their growing up years. As a parent I am thankful for my own children; as a PTA member I am thankful for every child in Austin.
