The Person You Are And then there were those who didn’t care—like those who said, “Another year, what about it? or others who said, “So what if school starts August 26, when does it get out?” The year began. . . Another episode to act out—another chance to make better grades— another chance to make the impressions you want people to have of you. Often comments like this were heard, “I want to start the year right,” or I set up my schedule so I will study first and then go out and have fun.” These were good to hear; it showed a person he had set some goals, goals that could be accomplished only by individual discipline. 8 9 The Person You Are. . . 5 1.

The Person You Are REALITY The good times and the bad . . . commonly known as the ups and downs of life. Some people never had a bad day, or so it seemed. Actually everyone experienced this and still does. These came as commonly and involuntarily as breathing. Coping with the problems and pressures of school was usually not talked about or generally heard of as much as the good times and experiences a person usually had. However, there were those who liked their problems and couldn’t very well make it through the day without adding to their list of them. For every problem we thought of a good time or at least tried to solve it. Helping ourselves was one of the most important things we learned in our years of formal schooling. The Person You Are ... 7 1. Pantomime was only one of the units covered in theatre 1. 2. Phil Smith accompanies the choir during the Christmas concert. 3.

The Person You Are Some caught on and some didn’t. . . Those who did became the people they were meant to be. They weren’t perfect in everything, but who was? Everyone had his or her own way of doing things. Some could do certain things well but not others. Some people were very smart and good in school while others were better in athletic or music events. According to each person’s likes and dislikes, each set his or her goals and priorities in life. So, whether a person worked with horses or cars or played the trumpet or basketball—each one was himself and for the benefit of others. Our lives don’t revolve around one person or thing, but many 1.

Student Council raises funds for the Snowball dance by hosting a bake sale. We lived our lives as no one else lived. We had our likes and dislikes, our similarities and differences. But, each of us was searching for someone that no one else could find . . . ourselves. We go on to be what we are—some go through college while others find their career right away. Whatever the case—personalities were developed and matured through our experiences in high school, maybe not to their fullest, but a big step had been taken in finding ourselves. You didn’t always like what you found, but you always found a part of . . . THE PERSON YOU ARE! The Person You Are ... 11 I ask myself, how am I supposed to find myself in my companions? Think about it. Often I can tell who runs around with whom just by their actions or the little phrases they use. All of us as individuals, and many of us as a group, become ourselves through others. We tend to copy things we like in others and avoid the things we don’t like. 12 . . . Student Lite FINDING MYSELF IN COMPANIONS 1.

The Person You Are 7 3 Pierced ears, jeans are common sights For many students their mornings started by pulling on a sweater top, overalls, jeans or painter pants and hiking boots then setting off for school with a ski parka for warmth. The basic look in fashion was sport and work clothing. Whether they were the traditional heavy-duty denims or the stylized versions, jeans remained the most commonly seen article of clothing. Dressing up meant three piece suits or leisure suits for the guys, while gaucho outfits, pantsuits and dresses were big sellers for the girls. Both sexes had much in common, stylewise. It even extended to hair, which was usually in a short blown-dry style. Pierced ears were still very popular with the girls and even some of the guys. A new twist had come into fashion, however, of having ears pierced in three or four places. The guys were entering the jewelry scene more noticeably than ever with the rapidly spreading popularity of turquoise. The Person You Are ... 15 King, queen chosen in autumn festival “Old South” was the theme for this year’s Homecoming Oct. 8, with “Get Closer” being the Homecoming song.

Higgins made a bet with Pickering that he could change Eliza’s Cockney accent and refine her to the point that he could pass her as royalty at the upcoming Embassy Ball. After five months of hard work her new speech and manners were tested at the horse races. She forgot all her learning, causing quite a scene and attracted the attention of Freddy Hill (Mark Loeffler) who fell in love with her. After six more weeks of lessons, Eliza went to the ball and was a complete success. Presented Nov. 8 and 9, director-designer Ruth Schlobohm concluded, My Fair Lady was a real experience involving many students who worked very well together to produce a high quality show. I was very pleased with their performance. 4 18 . . . Musical 1. Tracy Engel. Frank Goedeken.

Graduation Reflecting back on past; preparing for future plan A part of my life has come and gone and I find myself looking back; not forward. Did I miss something while I was pitying myself? Did I miss someone while I was worrying about myself? Did I miss an opportunity while I felt safe and warm? I’ll never have this time again but these questions will always remain. But, I’ll take that first step and I’ll learn to walk, to run, to fly. And then, when I’m through maybe I'll have learned to appreciate. Sue Engel 6 Graduation ... 31 We’ll begin as one; we’ll depart as one by Sue Engel Ebony silence is the world I know, so alone, the only one in this domain, but, forevers are not really forever and I’m thrust into a life that must be shared in order to survive. I learn to love, accept and grow at a pace kept in complete contentness. A peacefulness sustains me in this life and suddenly... my beginning is an ending and I must return with what I came; myself. 3 1.

He was elected to serve a four-year term which began in January. The Board, which met once a month, worked on two major projects. The first project dealt with building utilization. Because of declining enrollment in the school district, the Lincoln School was closed down. Also, the district prepared to replace the outdated elementary school at Duncan. The second project dealt in bringing the Junior and Senior High Schools into compliance with the Rules and Regulations of Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972. This was brought about by expansion of the Activities Program to provide equal opportunities to all students. The Board also let the new physical education and athletic facility become operational to meet the needs of the district. A.E. individualized; new law unit added Alternative Education’s individualized courses allowed students to work at their own rate. Used as a learning center during periods the students didn’t have regular classes, it offered credit opportunities through various study units. A new unit was added on law which dealt with enforcement and gave students a better perspective of police duties. In the opinion of one student, “A.E. is one of the best courses in this school. There isn’t the tension in it like in some classes.’’ 5 38 . . . Alternative Education 1.

The class was also used to instruct math and English courses with an additional period used for help with outside classes. Many students were in a work program which gave them credit for their jobs. Miss Chris Lund, special education teacher, commented that she “appreciated the cooperation of other teachers in helping the students and making adjustments so courses gave what the students needed most out of them. Administrative aides perform key duties The office personnel played an important role in keeping the administrative system running smoothly. Throughout the year, these workers kept busy doing general office work. They helped out by writing annual reports, working with the seniors to prepare them for graduation and working daily with students and their records. Several other workers were stationed in the English and Home Ec Departments. Books and other supplies were taken care of along with quarterly registration for English courses.

The annual National Math Contest was held in March. Students who scored very high were eligible for scholarships. The contest was supervised by Mr. Bernard Nitsch.

Classes consisted mainly of lectures, discussions, labwork and several types of problem solving sessions. More independent study was a common goal of many of the classes. New textbooks aided the students as well as various medical professionals who came to speak about their fields. The physics classes, under the direction of Mr. Alan Griffith, did several new and different things during the year. These included baking cakes, shooting a rocket sled and making a hot air balloon. Science Department . 49 English curriculum aids student needs During the past year the English Department has continued generally in the same way with the system of electives divided into two main categories; college prep and general courses. The curriculum has been arranged to meet the best needs of the students. The classes ranged in variety from actual composition and grammer to mass media. Also, a semester of English credit can be obtained by enrolling in classes such as speech, theatre and journalism. The main goals throughout the year were to help all students express themselves better and to make the curriculum more composition oriented. 6 1.

Field trips were taken to the Columbus Telegram, Mode O’Day and The Yarn Tree. At the Telegram students learned to design and set up advertisements and how to correctly lay out a newspaper page. At the Mode O’Day and The Yarn Tree, students looked at the comparisions of a franchise proprietorship and a sole proprietorship. Along with the field trips, the class listened to Mr. Irvin Sterner, a guest speaker from Dale Electronic, who talked about the use of marketing research. By the end of the school year, the students had a better understanding of the world of work. 1. Watching the hallways during each five minute break time is one of Leon Wragge's duties. 2.

The courses were planned to provide students with a background in their area of interest and to give them experience in what may serve as a future occupation. Each class involved working with the hands as well as with books. Students in the automotives area were given the opportunity to work with actual engines and cars. In the comprehensive skills and technology area, students learned basics in the areas of metals and wood working. Drafting classes offered students a chance to work in both the engineering and architectural areas. These students also had the chance to use their skills in competition as several contests were held during the second semester. The areas of electronics and electricity provided skills for those interested in making a career out of them or just as a hobby. 3 58 . . . Industrial Arts Department 5 6 1.

Home Ec Department Projects, field trips keep classes going Home Economics, once an individualized course, was turned over to Miss Mary English. She kept the classes busy with projects, field trips and guest speakers. The projects started with a unit on the metric system. They used metric measuring utensils in preparing recipes. Another project was to prepare a foreign meal. At Christmas, they held an open house and invited the parents and faculty. After that, the students did a two week canning unit and canned fruits, vegetables and jelly. The students were also required to make a cake, variety bread and cookies and judge each one of them. In between projects, the classes took field trips to Dodge Cheese Plant and Dodge Meat Locker in Dodge, NE. They also went to Tri-County meat processors and to Hinky Dinky for a retailing project. The classes also featured several guest speakers in demonstrating cake decorating, Chinese cooking and the Amana radar range. 5 Home Ec Department ... 61 Speech, journalism projects increase Much has changed in the speech and journalism classes this past year. Both areas expanded in both materials being used and activities that have been held. New books were added in the journalism classes. This resulted in students having to take fewer notes and allowed more time for writing activities. The class put out one issue of the Discoverer. They also helped check proofs for the yearbook. This enabled students to gain experience in both areas. “The ability to accept criticism and apply it constructively,” was Miss Connie Jacobs’ goal this year in speech. Video-tapes and critiques were used to help students examine themselves objectively. Many activities were held including a dinner as a preliminary to the after-dinner speech, a cumulative speech banquet and the Optomist Speech Contest. The vocal as well as physical aspects of speech were covered and Miss Jacobs has hopes of expanding speech so it is no longer restricted to the classroom. i 5 1. An after dinner speech was given by Kurt Nyffeler during one of the speech banquets. 2. Students listen to a lecture on how to write yearbook copy. 3.

An Octoberfest was one of the many activities held by Miss Roma Boettcher’s German classes. In Germany, the Oktoberfest is similiar to an American state fair. The class attended an Octoberfest dinner at the Elks Country Club. Other activities included a Christmas dinner, a Faschung, which is a two month celebration with parades and parties like the Mardi Gras in New Orleans and the classes attended a cultural film in Lincoln. Speakers also played an important role by providing first hand information on the customs and people of Germany. The Day of Friendship with Fremont High students was held by the Spanish classes to better the relationship between the schools. The classes sponsored a dinner and a day of singing, dancing and games. The annual Christmas pinata party was another activity held by the Spanish students. Several new units were offered to Spanish IV students. One unit was a cross-cultural awareness unit. The students were exposed to other languages such as Italian, Portuguese, French and German. They learned words, customs, and cultural ideas from each country. Another unit enabled the student to teach Spanish in the elementary grades. It was on audio-lengual approach using many visual aids. This year’s goals, according to Miss Sandy Sypherd, were to develop skills in the areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing in the target language. 5 1.

Department underwent many changes and improvements during the past year, much to the satisfaction of the students and teachers of Columbus High. Four new dressing rooms were added along with a full sized gym, balcony and weight room. Mrs. Dorothy Courtier, P.E. instructor, remarked, “The many new facilities and the extra space have definitely been an asset to the school. There were twice as many P.E. classes taught at the same time than in earlier years.” Mr. Larry Rathe, new teacher in the department, along with the other three teachers, Mrs. Courtier, Miss Sandi Hopp and Mr. Bart Bartholomew, agreed that the new additions have been very beneficial to all of the P.E. classes. Another change brought about was Title Nine, which states there shall be no sex discrimination. Therefore, both boys and girls can participate in the same sports. Now, five of the sports are co-ed. 5 1. Jo Bartholemew and Kathy Curran assist Julie Deyke on the unevens. 2. Sophomore girls attempt to play football but no one can get their hands on the ball. 3.

Department ... 67 Variety of literature valuable in music Rehearsals for performances and competition, music fundamentals, development, technical studies and a variety of music literature were some of the things that were taught in the Instrumental and Vocal Music Department. Mr. Boyd Bacon, new vocal music instructor, organized three popular small groups in addition to the original mixed chorus and girls glee. Vocal, along with band and orchestra, participated in several types of competitions, the main one being All-State and also performances for civic clubs and community organizations. The band went to St. Louis in the spring for national competition. The orchestra performed at several surrounding elementary schools to interest students in the orchestra program. 68 . . .

Theatre Department Drama classes are more individualized The addition of a Theatre III class during the past year was only one of several changes made within the classes. Each class became more independent with the equipment as they each organized and acted out their own individual shows. Theatre III began on an experimental basis and it gave the department many new ideas. It was an especially good class for students who planned to further their education in the area of drama and could only be taken if Theatre I and Theatre II had been completed. Two of the students directed their own plays. With the help of Miss Ruth Schlobohm, Sue Engel directed “Little Women” and Dave Sindelar directed “A Visit to the Planet of Dumb Animals,” a script which he had written himself. “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” was also among the plays produced by the Theatre II class. Theatre I basically did a lot of technical work for the three all-school plays, “My Fair Lady,” Flowers for Algernon” and “The Hobbit.” The classes also gained experience in working with lights, staging and scenery. According to Miss Schlobohm, “the classes worked very hard all year to accomplish their end goal which was a production and in total it has been a very successful year. 3 Involvement covers new art techniques Getting more involved with different art media and experiencing more techniques were the main goals of the art students this year. Students of Miss Addie Bruce’s and Miss Jean Detlefsen's classes were able to take a field trip to study the different backgrounds and techniques of many old and new art works at the Joslyn Museum in Omaha. Trying different techniques, the students used their imagination to produce many unusual art works. Macrame classes, instructed by Miss Ruth Schlobohm, also were more involved in their projects. Volunteers from the classes went with student teacher Amy Hogel to Fairacres School to help teach the TMR (Trainable Mentally Retarded) students how to macrame a belt. At the end of the year, all the art classes united and exhibited their works in the Spring Fine Art Festival. Many of the works were sold. Art ... 72 r -____ 1.

Each custodian worked on different shifts and had a special area to take care of in the cafeteria, classrooms and hallways. Although the custodians worked at different times, they shared the same job of cleaning the floors, moving furniture for various activities, doing minor building repairs and taking care of other little problems that came along each day. Besides providing meals, the cooks daily scrubbed the kitchen and put every cooking utensil back in place for use the next day. Each cook also had her own special job such as planning the daily meal, packing lunch boxes for elementary schools, watching the student workers in the dishwashing room and operating the ice-cream machine. 74 .

Dave Porter and Rick Sharp, captains, led the team in satisfying performances. “There was always a good effort of playing well together,” remarked head Coach Jed Rood. Defense was steady all year as the team worked hard and progressed through the season. Although they lacked experience at first, running and passing improved greatly with good coverage and returns. “We kept close at all times,” stated Rood. Our grasp of winning wasn’t far from being undefeated.” The Honor of All State Defensive Tackle was given to Porter. Dean Hagelstein received honorable mention. Varsity Football ... 79 Win over Bulldogs season’s 1st victory With outstanding performances the J.V. football season held out exceptionally well. Lack of experience didn’t dampen team spirit as quarterback Roger Bullington lead them to victories. Highlights included defeating the York Bulldogs for a first win of the season. Coach Mark Ekland said, playing Grand Island as close as we did was exceptionally good for being the smallest Class A school in the district.” Along with the hard earned victories, valuable football fundamentals were learned in the losing efforts. Team member Scott Bobert held good potential as his speed was a benefit in many games. Bullington’s passing abilities were widely needed throughout the season. 1 Members of J.V. football team are (back row) Coach Mark Eckland. John Berry, Greg Wilke. Mike Anderson. Ed Schultz.

JV Football ... 81 1 Unity helps girl swimmers, records fall during season “Unity and good ability for the girls to reach their goals were highlights of this season,” said Coach Barry Johnson, of the girls swimming team. “The team won only one meet but competed well in all of them,” he stated. Highlights of the season included winning their first meet and winning over Scottsbluff in the Big Ten. “Every individual swam strong, as we broke every school record eight times,” Coach Johnson said. Coach Johnson pointed out that the number of girls participating and unity in the team were two of the strong points of the season. However, the inexperience of the girls and also lacking a state contender proved to be weaknesses. Lauri Rice and Sue Snow were voted most valuable swimmers by teammates. “Our most exciting meet was the Ralston meet, where we came so close to winning against a more experienced team,” said Johnson “As the season went on we kept improving through the girls effort.” Although all girls swam well, Johnson pointed out that captain Lauri Rice was the hardest working, Sue Snow most versatile, Karen Schumacher most improved and Alyce Graus, the best diver. The team closed with a record of 1-6. 82 . . . Girls Swimming Members of the swim team are (Back Row) Kathy Wichman. Barb Kline, Sue Snow. Carol Rush. Linda Dierberger. Lori Rice.

Girls Golf 3 Unity leads golfers, team takes honors The girls golf team, under first year Coach Bart Bartholemew, went undefeated, won all duals and placed first in all meets in which they competed. Highlights for the team included capturing the Big Ten championship, Appollo championship and as Coach Bartholemew put it, ‘‘playing well enough to win the state tournament but being disqualified.” The disqualification came when a team member signed an incorrect scorecard. By doing so, according to the Nebraska State Athletic Association rules, the team must be disqualified. “Cathy Curry is one of the top ten golfers in the nation,” said Coach Bartholemew. “She’s the most professional athlete I’ve worked with in fifteen years. No one excels as much as she does.” “Unity was the key to the success of the team,” stated Coach Bartholemew, “If one girl didn’t have this unity, it could have fouled up the whole team. All the girls played together to make the team go. As long as I coach, I’ll never have another team like that.” 88 . . .

Coach Hopp said the most exciting games were beating Fremont to win Districts and defeating Beatrice on their home court. “Being able to read opponents' offensive setups and adjusting our defense to theirs was one of our strengths,” termed Coach Hopp. “However, one of our weaknesses was playing before a large crowd.” Coach Hopp pointed out that team standouts were the starting lineup which included seniors Lynette Cattau, Sherri Nelson, Deb Hammernik and juniors Diane Martensen, Becky Person and Donna Steiner. The junior varsity was excellent,” said Coach Hopp. “We threw fundamentals at them and it messed them up at first, but as the season progressed the girls put it together.” The J.V. record was 7-3. i ■ Volleyball team members are (back row) Coach Sandi Hopp. Michele Rambour, Val Schwartz, Melody Anderson, Diane Micek.

The Discoverer basketball team ended up 3-17.” Highlights of the season included winning the first game and beating rival Norfolk, according to Rathe. “We had a good post-play, but later on teams would sag on defense to take away our inside shots.” “When the guys worked together, we played well,” said Rathe, “One of our weaknesses was not hitting consistently throughout the game.” Rathe cited center Jim Rorabaugh, guard Gary Becher and forward Scott Wagner as the best players saying, “Gary was our most consistent guard. Also, Scott played well aggresively.” Coach Rathe mentioned that Rorabaugh was a member of the Big Ten Conference Team.

We were outrebounded several times during the year because of these factors.” The junior varsity team finished the season with a 6-10 record. Luebbe cited juniors Jon Faulkner and Al Siemek as the top players but explained that the games were split up and played by everyone. “We were real competitive but not very big or fast,” stated sophomore coach Mark Ekeland. Sophomores ended up 2-8. “Beating Fremont was a big highlight,” said Ekeland, “These kids have never beat Fremont before.” Coach Ekeland said his best players were Steve Man-cuso, Luke Lemke, Pat Tooley and Roger Bullington.

Highlights of the season included beating Scotus 51-8 and coming close to winning districts. “We were small compared to other teams but out rebounded most of them,” said Klutman. Our unity wasn’t that good throughout the season but towards districts it really built up. I felt if this build up would have started earlier we would have won districts.” “Beating Hastings after a two-game losing streak was a big lift for us,” stated Klutman. “We had a couple of bad breaks and did some things wrong, which I feel prevented us from having a better season.” Girls Basketball ... 97 1 Brent Arment grappels to an escape from a Beatrice Orangemen. 2.

Varsity Wrestling 2 Perfection in duals; ten endure state Perfection worked its way to the top in the dual season for varsity wrestlers. Results of winning the nine matches highlighted the season immensely. Although sending ten wrestlers to State competition was outstanding, winning the Apollo Conference for the last time of its existance was a spirited victory. Taking the Big Ten title for the third straight year enthused many grapplers towards bigger and better meets. Completing the season the vivacios wrestlers chalked up 310 takedowns to only 155 from there opponents, while having 182 reversals. “Actual weaknesses would probably have to be riding the opponent on the mat, control,” remarked Coach Lan-ny Neese. He also said that as being as light weight as some were they lacked experience. Nevertheless excellent senior leadership was triggered from senior captains Rudy Glur, Crais Person and Collyn Florendo. Tremendous preformances were produced from these three young men as well as seniors Tim Arlt, Craig Marsh and juniors Mike Sackett, Kirk McAndrew. Glur topped the season with a 29-0 record and a threetime State Championship while Florendo placed third at State. Marsh grappled to a fourth place as teammate Person and Sackett finished fifth at State. Remarked Neese, “They never gave up the desire to win.

The program offers students an opportunity to experience the school systems and living conditions of another state or country. Living with the William Grant family was Antonio Treu of Goriziz, Italy. In Italy he played with a musical group. Much of the music for the group was written by Tony. CHS sent Doreen Warrender to Cali, Columbia, located in the Andes Mountains. She attended a private Catholic girls’ school. Activities for the local chapter included a tape dance, rummage sale, skating party, pancake feed and a slave day. Presiding over meetings were President Claire Owens, Vice-President Pat Young, Secretary Theresa Kiuntke and Treasurer Darla Aikens. General feelings about AFS can best be summed up by Tony when he said, “People are really the same everywhere. Whether they be in different schools or different countries, they think and act the same. Through AFS the opportunity to discover this is offered.” 114 . . AFS 5 1.

The track meet was held in May. Members were responsible for the timing of the running events, measuring for the field events, recording statistics and passing out ribbons, as well as the minor details such as holding the finish lines.

Participation and leadership were major purposes of many organizations. Activities were different and offered challenges to some. The Sadie Hawkins dance, sponsered by Student Council, was a new addition to school life. Booster Club warmed the heads and hands of many with the sale of caps and mittens in school colors.
