Excited and a little bit wary kids filter through the doors, then talk to people they haven’t seen since last Spring. People start to swing into the everyday grind at CHS and go through the same old motions, but are things really the same? Think about it for a minute. Whether people have realized it or not things have changed and life will never be exactly the same as it was last year, last week or even an hour ago. The world has different opinions and problems than it used to. New inventions and ideas change your lifestyle right down to your own job or the car you drive. These new things have changed you, changed your philosophies and broadened your horizons. Life is full of changes as it is an ongoing process and so faceted that it would be almost impossible not to change in at least one way. This process should not be viewed as entirely negative as it is a constant chance for a new beginning. In broadening our horizons and knowledge, education is a very important avenue of change. We begin school after being on this earth for four or five years, and remain in an education system until at least age sixteen and most remain to graduate from high school at eighteen. Then some of us will continue our education, maybe not right after graduation but sometime down the road to better ourselves and or job knowledge. High school is probably the most important time for changes for it is here that we become really aware of TOP: Mr. Waas updates his calendar for the month of May in the English office.

Opening 3 the real world and decide on careers. Students here at CHS change a great deal. They gain new friends and mature. They develop new interests and talents too. Some play football, wrestle, or participate in other sports. While others join Booster Club, act in plays or get involved in Stu-Co. A lot of students have part-time jobs and still can handle their homework and participate in some extracurricular activities. The current trend is towards a majority of the students who are only in school for classes and their jobs take up most of their free time. This change is having a big impact on CHS and all of the activities are suffering. This year at Columbus Senior High more changes were evident than have taken place in quite awhile, aside from the constant changes of a new crop of faces and personalities. This year CHS got a new principal, new coaches in almost every sport and some new teachers. Mr. Robert Dierman replaced Mr. Jim Sterup who had been principal at CHS for twelve years. Coach Charles Sherertz replaced Coach Neese in boys’ wrestling and the team had an excellent year. The new basketball coach, Al Schnabel, brought some of the greatest changes to CHS sports. Not only did he improve the team but he also brought in the huge crowds reminiscent to the days of Coach Jack Johnson. Coach Paul Sanderson took over the boys’ swim team and assisted with girls’ swim team. Beside personnel changes, other major changes took place at Columbus Senior High. The theatre department once again had a fall musical, TOP LEFT: Seniors Debbie Speicher and Peggy Chesnut utilize their open campus privileges and go to lunch at McDonald s.

Quill and Scroll Society was dropped. The band had a terrific year and participated in the Festival of Roses Parade and Competition in Portland, Oregon. Prom was almost cancelled this year due to a lack of sponsors and not enough money. The Sweetheart dance was cancelled and a Spring Royalty dance was held instead a little later in the year. The city of Columbus changed some itself. The recession finally hit as some industrial plants had lay offs. Jobs got harder to come by especially for men. Loan interest rates soared up to an all time record high of 18%, but slowly decreased in the Spring. On the other hand a new Sperry-New Holland plant was built and a Mister Donut opened along with a few other businesses. Plans for two new shopping malls and a large exclusive lake with expensive homes were also announced. The world was full of old problems with new twists this year. Probably the biggest event was the abduction of the U.S. embassy employees at the embassy in Iran by student militants in early November. The U.S. made one attempt to free the 52 hostages but it failed and the hostages remain in Iran. Russia increased its territory by taking over the small country of Afghanistan. A volcano in Washington State caused a lot of excitement. Even students from CHS got a glimpse of Mt. Saint Helena when Portland, Oregon was covered by volcanic ash while the band was visiting. All in all change has surrounded us and played a part in everyone’s life. Be open to change and accept it. Change is inevitable and remember each day is a new beginning, so go out and make your life the way YOU want it! 6 Opening ABOVE: Mrs. Wibbels helps Senior Debbie BELOW: The Recking Company was just one of Dush with her collar at graduation. the groups that performed at teen dances last summer.

Graduation If you think that there was something different about this year’s graduation ceremonies, you’re right. This was on account of the absence of a guest speaker. The reason was this year the Senior class representatives voted not to delay the presentation of the diplomas by having a speaker. The evening began when the Seniors entered the gym which was filled with family, friends, and students. Reverend Michael Gutgsell gave the invocation. Linda Reiser then presented the song of devotion to the audience. Mr. Dierman presented the 1980 Senior class; while Jerry Roth, President of the Board of Education, along with the help of Senior Class President Craig Scheidegger, handed out diplomas. All in all the ceremonies lasted about 45 minutes with Reverend Gutgsell giving the closing prayer to end the evening ceremonies. Graduation 9 Love is al “We love you Seniors” was the closing line of Rev. Maurice Gold-hammer’s address to the graduates during Baccalaureate ceremonies Sunday, May 18. In his Baccalaureate address, Rev. Goldhammer told the seniors that even though this may not be a very good time to be graduating, with Iran and the economy the way it is, they must go out into the world and do their very best. The best way they can do this is through the power of love. There is no greater goal than love. The evening opened with the concert choir singing the call to worship, “Adoamous te Christie”, which was followed by the entrance of the seniors to the music “Pomp and Circumstance” played by the Wind Ensemble. The religious nature of the ceremonies was opened with Julie Barnes giving the invocation. “Cathedral Chorus” was played by the Wind Ensemble. Proverbs 3:1-18 was the scripture reading read by Alan Haney. The Concert Choir sang “Cantate Domino.:” The Rev. Gold-hammer then gave his Baccalaureate address. Closing the ceremonies was Craig Scheidegger giving the Benediction. ABOVE: Miles Beach concentrates on playing the baritone in the song Cathedral Chorus.

The theme was carried out with a slide presentation of this years events to the music of “Reminiscing” by the Dirt Band. The hosts for the evening were Suzette Carrig and Mike Whetstone. Entertainment was provided by Lisa Jenny, Lynda Reiser, Debi Rice, Sizzlin’ Sisters, and New World Singers. The hard work and dedication has paid off and many students were rewarded with awards of Scholarships, Merits, Regents, Outstanding Performance, and many other awards were given out. Some of the many awards presented included the Regents Scholarships given to Mike Cook, Jerry Kreifels, Susan Lloyd, Bryan Richardson and Angie Watson. Cook also received an Air Force ROTC Scholarship. Student council award for outstanding work, Lynn Strehle and Craig Scheidegger; outstanding American history student, Scott Goering; vocal music awards, Beth Heins, Sonya Mueller, Debi Rice, Janice Coffey; Band awards, Julie Schwartzer, Jerry Kreifels (2), Dennis Hare, and Danette Grotelueschen was the outstanding band member.

Student Life G Prom isn’t merely “All That Jazz” Prom this year was not without its problems. Sponsors were hard to come by but finally Mrs. Candace Becher and Mr. Chris Dixon started the show going and preparations began in late February. The theme. All That Jazz, based on the Academy award winning movie, was chosen. A raffle raised approximately $980.00. Mrs. William Birkel won the grand prize, a portable color TV. On the Friday night before Prom about 35 hard-working juniors decorated the gym from after school until midnight. The various committees (headed by Kurt Armstrong, Doreen Augspurger, Sara Dixon, Lisa Doh-men, and Tami Potter) made their own party atmosphere as they played music and ate pizza while working. The big day, April 19, finally arrived. The doors opened at 9:00. Couples were greeted by a twinkling New York skyline and a huge top hat out on the dance floor. Then, alas, problems once more struck as the band. Phoenix, had power difficulties and had to start over three times. Finally, the black cloud that loomed over Prom disappeared and the couples boogied down. At 1:00, the party was over and everyone went their separate ways. Some went to parties, others to breakfast and some just went home. In the end, everyone agreed that Prom had overcome its problems and was a success. Waco Carpenter, Kearney, and Jamie McNair. Tom Sackett and Brenda Glur, and Steve Kapperman and Becky Wilson take time out to talk to each other Bryan Thalken and Mary Kunes seem light on their feet on the dance floor. 14 Student Life Brenda Glur and Tom Sackett dance among the stars once the band finally started.

Prom 15 Jaeggi Nyffeler crowned royalty Spring Royalty on March 7 was well received by the students at CHS. It appeared that everyone there had a good time dancing to the sounds of Columbus’ newest group, “The Recking Company. Instead of a Sweetheart dance, CHS Student Council decided to try something different by having a dance later in the year. The main reason behind this was the fact that there were no open weekends in February to have a dance. During coronation, Lyle Nyffeler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Nyffeler, and Lori Jaeggi, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walt Jaeggi, were crowned King and Queen. Juniors Brenda Glur and Kelly Person and Sophomores Karen Miller and Jay Bullington presided over their classes as royalty. This dance, which had a considerably better turn out than Snowball, was considered one of the more successful ones by Student Council members. Sophomore candidates for royalty were Lori Dohmen, Lisa Bobert, Karen Miller, Teresa Kyster, Connie Micek, Sunny Sherertz, Jay Bullington, Rich Carmicheal, Corey Floren-do, Larry Jacobs, Troy Paben and Todd Thalken. The Class of 1980 candidates included Shari Dohmen, Brenda Glur, Polly Hadan, Karla Keeshan, Meshell McDowell, Heidi Sloth, Kurt Armstrong, Doug Becher, Tom Goc, Scott Goering, Kelly Person, and Gary Podraza. Senior royalty candidates included Joni Gutzmer, Lori Jaeggi, Judy Lassek, Susan Lloyd, Debi Rice, Kay Robinson, Rich Englemann, Mark Stock-man, Lyle Nyffeler, Craig Scheideg-ger, Terry Wilhelms and Dan Volnek.

There was no band this year. The disco-like atmosphere included a D.J. playing tapes. Mari Lincoln said, “The special effects were really neat.” Attendance was small. “There weren’t many people there because of the games,” remarked Mary Kunes. Blinking lights on the Christmas tree in the commons complimented the new furniture, which consisted of chairs, love-seats, and couches. Tired couples could relax in comfort when they put to use the furniture, which was purchased by Stu-Co. Queen candidates were Traci Grubaugh, Kim Keeshan, Kathi Miles, Jan Moore, Lynn Strehle, and Jaye Stone. King candidates were Al Haney. Doug Rice. Tom Sackett, Scott Swartz, Brian Thalken, and Mike Whetstone. Disco lights flashed and the D.J. played tapes of such groups as The Bee Gees, The Village People. Foreigner. The Cars, plus many other groups. Monica Mullens. John Anderson, and other couples enjoyed the music and the mood.

Snowball 19 Game highlights Homecoming The changing times were reflected this year at the CHS Homecoming festivities. Differing from previous years, the dance took place at the Elks Country Club. The theme also reflected the change in time; instead of a regular “Wizard of Oz” theme, the Booster Club chose a theme based on the more modern version of the story, “The Wiz.” To help portray the theme, decorations of the Scarecrow, Tinman, Lion, Toto, and Dorothy surrounded the crowded dance floor and a yellow brick road was provided so King and Queen could “Ease on down” to their thrones. Climaxing Spirit Week activities were the crownings of Mike Rambour and Maureen Lannan as Homecoming King and Queen for 1979-1980. Their crowning highlighted the halftime of a come-from-behind Columbus win over Norfolk, ending in a score of 10-7. The Homecoming Candidates were announced at a convocation in the Auditorium on October 12. Although Teachers’ Convention shortened Spirit Week, many activities were still held. Monday was the day when students wore odd colors. It was called, simply, “Clash Day.” Tuesday, designated “T-Shirt and Tennis Shoes Day,” honored what Homecoming Candidates included.

On Wednesday something was returned to Spirit Week’s schedule as VICA purchased a car for a car bash, and charged a quarter for each strike. Thursday brought the Homecoming Parade which included the Marching Band, Booster Club, and Candidates as well as the Football, Girls’ Swim, and Volleyball teams. Following the parade was the CHS Victory Bell. A Pep Rally in Frankfurt Square climaxed the parade. The game and dance Friday night ended this week’s activities. This year's band, Strider, from Lincoln, rocked student dancers until past midnight.

Dad let me have the car today, so I can drive us somewhere. Stevie Sophomore: Can I go too? Can I go too? Sammy: Well, uh, yeah, okay. Where will we go? Stevie: Let s go get some veggies! I love raw celery and cauliflower! Johnny: Gag me! Sammy: I’m sure! Let's go to McDonald's or Burger King. Stevie: I was just kidding. Let’s go! Soon: Stevie: You’re getting three burgers, two milkshakes, fries, one of each kind of pie, and cookies?!?!? Sammy: Hey, a man’s gotta eat. Stevie: I guess. Johnny: We had a big fight at our house about where to go for supper last night. I wanted to go to Godfather’s. Mom wanted to go to Pizza Hut, my sister wanted to go to Barnie’s, and my little brother wanted to go to Long John’s because they were giving away Superman glasses with pop. Just what I always wanted Sammy: So where did you finally go? Johnny: Well, Dad came home and wanted to go to Bonanza because he said it was a decent meal, but fast. So that settled it. We really eat out a lot. Mom says she doesn’t have time to cook, when nobody’s there to eat it anyway. Stevie: Hey, we better get back. It’s almost 12:20. That food really hit the spot, though! Such were the eating habits at CHS in 1979-80. Students made frequent “McDonald’s runs” or stopped for a bite to eat at one of the other fast food or pizza restaurants in town. Part of the reason for the fast food’s popularity was because it was just that — fast. Since students, like society as a whole, seemed always in a hurry, at times there was really no alternative. Fast food restaurants appear to have established themselves as a vital part of student life. ABOVE: Christy Lambrecht looks up from her lunch in the Cafeteria.

Lifestyle 23 After the lights go out “I like the night life baby,” is a common phrase heard around Columbus all weekend long, because during that time, all sorts of things begin to happen. One of the most common things to happen is the tradition of draggin' mains. Students drag main for a variety of reasons. For instance, they like to tell everyone on mains that CHS has won another football or basketball game or just for something to do on a boring night. Other than draggin’ mains, students find other things to do. Things like going to parties or going to the drive-in. Dances were also very popular among students this year as there were many sponsered by various CHS clubs. Football and basketball games were also very popular this year among things to do as a vast majority of the bleachers were filled with many CHS students who came to see a hopeful victory. Night life around CHS will not always be the same because all the students will change with the times. 24 Student Life What to do on a Saturday night?

BELOW: More boogeying at the Student Council tape dance held February 19 to help raise money for the Annual’s color Senior section. Ironically, many students at a dance spend their time doing other things besides dancing. Students wait for someone to begin the action, or stand around talking to friends until a favorite song is played. Lifestyle 25 Movin’ On High gas prices took some of the fun out of dragging mains this year. With gas prices approximately $1.10 a gallon some CHS students agreed that dragging mains was too expensive. For those who did drive around, many reported putting in five to ten dollars worth of gas in for the purpose. Reasons given for dragging mains varied. Many people drove around just for something to do. Others did to meet people or find out what was going on in or around town. Still others drove around to drink, smoke or find people over 19. “My friends and I usually drive around so that we can find some action”, reported a CHS student. A typical run down mains is up 13th street then taking a left on 24th or 23rd avenue, then down 14th street. Many other students could be seen joyriding around school before and after classes. Tailgating, chase. Chinese fire drills and throwing soap in the Columbus Federal Savings fountain were a few of the activities on mains. Parking lots seemed to be some of the favorite meeting places downtown especially the one across from the library. However, once in a while a few punches were also exchanged there.

In a poll conducted by the Annual Staff, students had a variety of answers for the questions. Asked what they did in their spare time, many answered listen to music, read and sleep. Partying and homework were also frequent answers. Students didn’t seem to have too many hobbies, but some were taking flying lessons, dancing, writing music, collecting stamps, coins, and books, scrapbooks, and rodeo and horse shows. Quite a few people said they had a job. but answers ranged on how much time they spend on the job. Some said most of weekend, part time, when they can, 5 days a week, as much as I can, and 30 to 40 hours a week. The television is not as popular as it used to be, but some students watch the T.V. several times a week. Many people said no” to being involved in a sport, as was the same with being active in a club. Some students said they were involved in a club outside of school, however. A lot of students said they did go to many sports events in which they don’t participate. Asked if they spend a lot of time on homework, answers ranged from no time to 5 hours a night. Asked if they do useful things around the house, most used answers were clean, cook, wash dishes, take out the garbage, babysit, make the bed, or nothing at all. Answers to how many times they go out a week, ranged from 2 to 120,000 (ha,ha). The final question, do you feel you spend your free time wisely, was answered yes, sometimes, and I don’t know. As you can see, CHS students use their spare time in a variety of ways. In whatever way they use it, everybody’s thankful when Friday rolls around and they’ll have a whole weekend of spare time. Twila Keener and Connie Long concentrate on staying on their skates at Flying Wheels Roller Skating Rink.

Work Release: career futures built A typical day for a student involved in the work release program: Morning: . . . attends classes. Afternoon: . . . off from school, but now on to work. Evening: . . . still on the job till 10:00 p.m. gets home does his homework and is in bed sometime in the early morning. This is the life for 147 students at CHS in the work release program. For this reason they must make sacrifices and set their priorities straight. Students must decide if they want to spend their spare time working or in extracurricular activities such as Sports, Booster Club. DECA, Student Council, etc. Businesses in the Columbus area are extremely supportive of this program. They feel it gives the students work experience and school credit at the same time. This program enables the students to have a head start in the job world and teaches job responsibility. It shows a student what to expect from employers when on the job. Businesses often call up the program supervisors when they need people because they like this program so much. Most of the students in the program are juniors and seniors. There are a few sophomores but they must be 16 years of age. Supervisors are Miss Dryer, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Eickhoff, and Mr. Brega. Mr. Wragge was the coordinator first semester but was replaced after he left by Mr. Brega.

Many people found summer work so that they could earn that much-needed extra money. For things like cars, records and concerts. A big change was the return of outdoor concerts at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha. The first group to perform there was the Beach Boys. The Marshall-Tucker Band also held their concert at Rosenblatt. Performing with the Beach Boys were Jay Ferguson and the Atlanta Rhythm Section. All of the Beach Boys were there except the drummer, Dennis Wilson. The famous genius of the group, Brian Wilson, was there, along with Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Carl Wilson. It was like going back to the 60’s, with the surf, sun and sand. This year’s Platte County Fair was also a big attraction. People came from miles around to see the exhibits and to take a breath-taking trip on a thrilling ride. Some of your friends that you hadn’t seen since school ended were there and you could catch up on the latest gossip. Sports were big in the summer, too. Legion baseball games, softball games and assorted sports were enjoyed by many students and faculty as well. Parties, as usual, were very popular. Going to the drive-in and other hangouts were frequently done. The pool was usually always crowded, too. People went to the various lakes around Columbus to water ski. The Pep Club held their picnic at Pawnee Park, and then went to the Soap Scrimmage, where the new sophomores were initiated. All this and more are in the minds of everybody as they think about Summer next year, and what fun they’ll have in this year’s summer life. Senior Dave Johnston takes time out from his summer fun to mow the lawn. Jo Kantor. Melinda Levos and Peg Burdine dock their canoe after a quick paddle around Wagners Lake at the Journalism picnic. Water sports were popular at CHS as many people enjoyed boat riding, water skiing, swimming and other such water-related fun.

Summer Life 35 Changes in the world’s face “ . . . your gas, you really are a pain in the , Ayatol- lah.” That song, along with Ayatollah dartboards, t-shirts with “Let Our People Go,” enabled Americans to let out their frustrations caused by those crazy Iranians. It all started when our government allowed the Shah of Iran to seek medical aid in New York for cancer treatments. Two weeks later, “student” militants in Iran took over our embassy, taking hostages in the process, and demanding the return of the Shah. Toward the end of the month, 13 of the hostages were released. Mexico then refused to readmit the Shah. So, he traveled to Texas and then to Panama. But the hostages were still not freed. As time went on, questions arose as to how many hostages there really were. Finally, the Iranians revealed that they held 53 hostages. Then Russia rolled into Afghanistan, Iran’s neighbor. Carter stopped grain shipments to Russia. Talk of the draft started up again, and it looked as though women would be drafted. It was suddenly revealed that Canada hid six American diplomats in their Teheran embassy for 12 weeks and then helped them escape out of the country. USA thanked the Canadians, while yellow ribbons became the symbol to free the hostages. Since the Russian intervention in Afghanistan, President Carter started an international movement to boycott the Summer Olympics in Moscow. America did not want to boycott, perhaps because of the patriotism we felt during the Winter Games, held in Lake Placid, New York. America’s Eric Heiden was the first ever to win five individual gold medals, while the US Hockey Team won their first gold medal since 1960 and they did it by beating the almighty Russians, 4-3 (for all you Discoverer basketball fans, there was a game that night and you might not have seen it.)

But the US Olympic Committee voted not to send a team to Moscow, against the will of a confused America. The Shah fled to Egypt because the Iranians were going to extradite him out of Panama. Families of hostages started going to Iran. One mother saw her son, and called our President “stupid.” Allies were going to punish Iran by joining US sanctions against them. A plan to rescue the hostages failed when the aborted mission’s heroic team was taking off when a helicopter and a plane crashed, killing eight soldiers and wounding four. The thoughtful Iranians displayed the bodies of the dead through the streets of the city. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance resigned as a result of the rescue attempt, and Edmund Muskie was named as his replacement. The Iranians got a taste of their own medicine when their embassy in London was seized by militants wanting the Ayatollah to release 91 political prisoners. A few weeks later, British commandoes stormed the embassy. Three terrorists and two hostages were killed during the rescue. USA. USA. USA! Our Olympic gold medals. One way to kill 272 people is to put them in a DC-10 and have one of the engines fall off. The planes were grounded for a month after the Chicago crash. The Pope visited Poland, his native country. It was the first visit by a Pope to a Communist country. In the fall he visited the US and on one of his trips he visited a farm in Des Moines. A lot of people from Columbus attended the mass. Gas lines became blocks long. Californians went to odd-even rationing programs. They also had their ninth major earthquake followed by mud slides. Skylab finally fell to earth. It landed in the Indian Ocean and Australia. The Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant in Pennsylvania had a nuclear accident, which started protests against nuclear energy. Actress Jane Fonda and her husband led the list of activists. Before a concert by “The Who” in Cincinnati, 11 people were trampled to death as people rushed to get reserved seats. One Omaha concert was cancelled as a result of the tragedy. The New Mexico State Penitentary was taken over by prisoners. Twenty-seven inmates died and fifty were injured. John W. Gacy was convicted of the sex murders of 33 young men and boys. He was then sentenced to the electric chair. President Carter’s good friend, Burt Lance, was acquitted on a bank fraud charge. Cubans started coming over by the thousands. Mt. St. Helens in Washington “blew its top” and killed a number of people. Volcanic ash was said to be floating in the air all across the United States. Pittsburgh became the “City of Champions” as the Pirates won the World Series and the Steelers beat the Rams, who were led by ex-Husker Vince Ferragamo, in the Super Bowl. Among the famous people who died were Minnie Ripperton, Thurman Munson, John Wayne, Jimmy Durante, David Janssen, Jay “Tonto” Silverheels, and director Sir Alfred Hitchcock. These months were filled with many happenings, some good, most bad. With all the problems in the world today, we can still be glad we’re in America, because no matter what’s bad in this country, at least we have Freedom, which is more than a lot of other countries have. World Changes 37 Fashion highs and lows for 1980 This year’s fashions became more dramatic than last year. Girls paid even more attention to their looks while guys also tried to keep up with the pace. Girls wore louder colors such as purples and dark pinks. They also experimented by mixing and matching different colors. Guys stayed about the same as any other year in wearing simple, not-too-shocking colors. The popularity of jeans went down slightly to the demand of cords. Jeans were still frequently worn, however, and CHS students had many styles to choose from. Straightlegged jeans gave away to “the baggy pants look”, with the jeans being tight to the ankle. Blue was not the only color around, either. From red to green, yellow to black, girls could have a wardrobe that all fit together. Shoes also became more dramatic and daring, while also being an important accessory. Spikes were still the rage for dressing up. For everyday, clogs, hiking boots and tennis shoes still walked around our halls. The new items were fancy cowboy boots and moon boots. Moon boots came in all kinds of colors, keeps feet really warm, and they look like boots that the astronauts wear. While out on the town, girls liked silky dresses an inch or 2 below the knee with high-heeled shoes. Guys went with cords and matching shirts and sweaters. Girls also went for “shiny” blouses with matching slacks, or a blouse with padded shoulders. Hair styles also changed slightly. Almost every girl, at least one time or another, had a permanent. Curls were a big thing, while not too many guys had styled hair. Guys usually had their hair parted in the middle, feathered back. All in all, fashion at CHS only changed slightly. Only time will tell how long some of these fashions last, and how soon some of them fade away. Sweats — fashion?!? Lori Dohmen, Terri Hull and Lisa Happ show that sweats can be worn for any activity, and also come in many styles and colors. The fancier sweats cost more, but you never know who you'll run into while you are out riding your bike. The movie “10” brought a new hairstyle — which isn't that new. Neil Armstrong, is that you? Heck no. that’s just moon boots, another one of the To be a perfect 10 you have to have this hairstyle. Maureen fads this year.

They're comfortable, come in many designs and colors, and can be worn with anything. Jan Barton and Rob Mason show off the fashion at Prom, long formats and tuxes. Couples wore matching colors, from yellow to black. Even though the rental fee for one night was expensive, guys still paid up for the biggest dance of the year. Jeans with fancy pockets were the in” thing this year. Although plain jeans were still worn, students spent their extra money on fancier jeans. At the Schweser’s Fashion Show.

Sittin’ around THE COMMONS: A meeting place, a departing scene, somewhere to crash or just pull yourself together after the big test, or, most of all, the place to just sit and gab. In the commons area people let themselves go. They feel free to express their true feelings after being confined to a classroom most of the school day. This year there is a big change in the main commons — carpet and furniture. Student Council purchased the new extras in December. Many different things can be heard in the commons. There’s talk of sports and places to go and things to do after the game. People often talk of love and sometimes express themselves in other than just words. Typical people in a typical school sitting in the typical commons talk of typical things. TYPICAL PERSON X: I think I’m just gunna sit in here instead of eating lunch today. How ’bout you? TYPICAL PERSON Y: Yea. I might as well. X: Boy, I just had a Biology test. It was the hardest test I’ve ever taken. Y: I was smart, I didn’t take it. Hey what’s going on after the game tonight? X: I don’t know, probably nothing. Why? What are you gunna do? Y: Well I heard Sandy’s having’ a party tonight. Wanta go? X: Ok, I bet everyone will be there. Y: Probably.

X: There’s the bell, see ya later. Y: Ok. Bye! Of course there’s plenty of other things that can be heard or seen in the commons. On game days the commons is filled with posters and streamers to help promote spirit. When there is a dance, sponsors and teachers usually occupy the area. And now and then you can even see a student doing a little homework in the commons, he must not want to miss out on anything. Commons 41 Old Age What is it in old age that seems so lonely? Is it that your heart aches for old friends Now either senile or deceased? Is it that memories are so faded They barely seem to exist? What is it in old age that seems so lonely?

Is it the way they walk and move as bones Become brittle and joints begin to ache? What is it in old age that seems so lonely? Is it that they’re waiting for a friend To let them leave this world?

My sorrow is great, but the loss small, for you will be replaced tomorrow. Michael Ablard A Winter’s Sky The winter morning’s sky reminded me of a frozen lake, of ice cubes clinking in a glass, or of the airplanes high overhead.

Conditioning is not fun, but it is needed by any athlete in any sport, be it ping pong or football. A definition of conditioning might look something like, “an act to get one self in physical readiness. Athletes look at conditioning differently. One may say things like, “It is needed”, or “I enjoy it” but others consider it as “a drag”, the “hardest part of the sport”, “no fun”, but both of these ideas, sports and conditioning, all fit together. Conditioning at CHS starts at least a month in advance for each athlete involved in a sport. Conditioning for basketball began in October, while football conditioning began in August. Wrestlers who did not compete in fall sports began in the early fall. The main emphasis during these early months is weight training. CHS was blessed with a fine new weight room this year which will be appreciated for years to come. Running is another important part of the plan of being in condition. It has become a trend of the 70’s and beginning of the 80’s. Running can become a hobby or be turned into a sport with competition and all. Conditioning is one of the most hated parts of athletics, but also most important. Teams begin early before the season to be able to meet their highest potential with weights and by running.

This was shown by the records set, the medal earned and a season record of five and two in duals, best yet for a CHS cross country team. Coach Ron Callan described this year’s team as “A team who when they ran together could compete against any other team.” Coach Callan also pointed out that “every man had an important role and a responsibility to the team.’’ For the team members, the long miles and running done over the summer made it easy competing with other teams. This was shown by the effort put forth by every team member. Records were set by Ron Hare who had the course records of 13:19 over the 2.5 mile course and the Babcock record race of 11:47. The only medal received was by Brian Groteluschen taking eighth place in the Trans-Nebraska conference meet. Personal records were set by John Arlt who received the most improved runner award. Freshman Jeff Powley showed good determination to help the team and to be a successful runner in the future. In conclusion, the team will remember the motto, ‘‘success comes before work only in the dictionary.” TOP: at the start of the Trans-Nebraska meet. Ron Hare strides out to an early lead.

Cross Country 53 Inconsistency hurts Football team “Penalties, turnovers and lack of consistency were probably what cost the loss of many games which we were capable of winning , explained head football coach Dick Luebbe who led his team to 3 wins 5 losses and one tie. Penalties and turnovers came by the numbers this season with 48 penalties for 402 yards and 31 turnovers 20 fumbles and 11 interceptions. Consistency seemed to be a problem this season for the Discoverers. The Discoverers began the season opener with 132 yds. offensively and defensively gave up 175 yds. The second and third games the gridders exploded for 287 total yds. and 327 yds. giving 101 and 164 yds. defensively. Statistically, this is pretty much the way the team went this season. Four All-Conference players were named. They were Mike Rambour, Ken Arment, Terry Wilhelms and Gary Podraza, honorable mention included Bob Dohmen and Mark Stockman.

The team had a near-perfect season, suffering only one loss. Along with the seven dual victories, the paddlers also captured the Trans-Nebraska and Big Ten Conference championships, and finished as one of the top ten teams in the state — the goal set by the girls. Coach Sanderson felt that Lincoln East, who handed CHS its one defeat, was the toughest team faced in duals. Although illness hindered the development of 4 or 5 swimmers, new individual records were set in almost every event. Marcie Herrold broke records in the 50, 100, 200, and 500 freestyle, 100 butterfly, and 200 individual medley. Heidi Sloth make new marks in the 6 and 11 dive categories, and along with Kris Lee. Kathy Lee, and Kelly Lovci, shattered the mark of the 200 medley relay. Kathy Lee swam individually to set a school record in the 100 breaststroke.

Sloth, and Weisser each made individual finishes at the state meet along with the 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay, while the team finished 9th. “Super team unity pulled us through the season,” remarked Coach Sanderson. “I am looking for a strong team next year as we are losing only one senior.

Girls’ Swimming 59 State highlights Boys’ Tennis A sixth place finish at the state meet highlighted the 1979 Boys’ Tennis season. “Considering the number of teams involved, the state meet had to be our best meet”, reflected Coach Gary Duranski. Duranski cited some of the outstanding players; Todd Robinson who played number one singles, Craig Scheidegger who played at number two singles, and also Raphael Prioux and Todd Martensen at number one doubles. Injuries weren’t a main factor affecting the team this year. The coach did note, however, that because of a lack of depth, when a player was injured, team performance suffered. “Todd Martensen, for example, hurt his arm in P.E. and that really hurt us because it took him away for two dual meets”, commented Duranski. Duranski felt that practices involved both physical and mental emphasis. ‘‘Tennis is a game in which you have to be in good shape, but you also have to be thinking all the time because of the strategy involved.” A choice has to be made for the players who have jobs. “We tell them that they have to make a choice because you can’t expect them to go out and compete and yet not practice”, explained the coach. Overall, according to Duranski, the season was satisfactory. “I think we achieved the goals we set.” Duranski felt that the year’s weather was very good with only one practice having to be called off.

The J.V. team finished at 1-9 and the sophomores enjoyed a 4-0-3 season. Senior Jan Moore was voted Most Valuable Player by her team members. Thirteen players, seven seniors and six juniors earned letters this year, and Moore and Junior Vicki Benson were chosen as All East Big Ten Conference players According to Coach Nancy Hegi, the best game played this year was the home game against Kearney, because “we played as a unit with three attackers splitting our ace spikes. Patti Chavanu had thirteen aces. Lynn Strehle had twelve and Vicki Benson had seven. It (the Kearney game) was the most blocks we ever had in any game. Strehle blocked three.” Undoubtedly the most memorable game this season was the Scotus game. A big Discoverer crowd turned out, and school rivalry was obvious especially at halftime with an unforgettable display of green by CHS pranksters. Columbus won that game 12-15, 15-13, and 15-4. Statistics showed that several team members had outstanding seasons. Benson and Strehle made 42% and 21% respectively in their spiking aces. Moore had 95% in setting. Benson and Moore on defense had 87% and 84%. Strehle came through with 20 blocks. Moore served 18 aces and 30 team points. Barnes served 14 aces and 39 team points. Junior Patti Chavanu was the season’s most improved player. Chavanu had never played volleyball before this year, and halfway through the season she was starting Varsity. Coach Hegi also expressed hope for next year s season, with a “large number of outstanding juniors coming back with some very spunky sophomores to push them ... I was impressed with the cheerleaders who went to the away games at Norfolk, Fremont, Beatrice, and Hastings. I think it’s great and with a winning season I think we can earn that right.” In summing up the season, Vicki Benson described it as “a disappint-ing year.” Jan Moore agreed but said she had enjoyed her three years of volleyball.

Some of these changes occured during the season and some before the season. One of the major changes was the new Head Coach Al Schnabel. With his enthusiasm and dedication, he led the Discoverers to a 6-11 season record. Another change was the limited amount of varsity players, due to a drop in the number of seniors. CHS took on a new dimension with only three senior players on the varsity team. Senior players were Brian Dehning, Lynn Gellermann, and Jim Herrold. The changes were not limited to the basketball team only, as many people turned out to watch a home Discoverer game. One of the most exciting home games was the dual against arch-rival Fremont. Although the game was a loss, the home crowd kept up the enthusiasm. Leading the Discoverers in total points for the season was Lynn Gellermann with 319 followed by Jim Herrold with 203. Herrold also lead the team with the most rebounds as he had a total of 133. Todd Martensen shoots for two points at Districts. From the sidelines. Coach Schnabel tells the team what’s to be done.

Strong finish for Girls Basketball Monday afternoon, 3:35, before Girls Basketball practice. Hey Chevy do you think practice will be hard?” I don’t know, we had a pretty fun weekend.” We’ll probably get out early since we have a game tomorrow night. If we re not to partied out from this weekend we can beat them.” Let’s plan on going out on the town after the game.” Girls Basketball got off to a slow start this year but finished strong, with a super game at Districts against Fremont. The Discoverettes ended the season with a 4-14 record. The J.V.’s finished at 1-14. Senior Lynn Strehle was chosen as all East Big Ten Conference Player. Along with Strehle four other seniors, Jan Moore, Deb Long, Val Kielian, and Carol Latham also lettered. Three juniors and two sophomores also received letters for their efforts. As Coach Steve Klutman stated the victory over cross-town rival Scotus was a big win. He felt the highlight of the season was the District win over rival Fremont. 44-33. Strehle set a school record by scoring 30 points in the first round against Fremont. Statistics showed many outstanding points in each member. Moore led in free throws with 100%, her only two shots were in the last few seconds of the District Fremont game. Kielian stole 33 times in 18 18 games. Assists were led by Strehle with 39 and followed by Sophomore Lori Thelen wth 23. Strehle also led in total points by hitting 242 points. Thelen followed this with 196 and Patty Chavanu hit only 103 due to part of the season on the bench because of an injury. Rebounds were also headed by Strehle with 123 and Kielian on her trail with 112. The Discoverers spent most of the season without the height of Chavanu and without senior guard Long due to injuries. Klutman felt the girls saved their best for last by winning the semi-final game in Districts, and said next years lack of height would still be CHS’s weakness. He is looking forward to five lettermen returning from this seasons squad. Girls Basketball 71 Swimmers have successful season Mike Ablard captured a gold medal in the 100 yd. breaststroke at State, setting the pace for a twelfth place finish for the boys swim team. The team really came on at the end of the year as they took second at Trans-Nebraska and third at the Big 10 Conference. “They have come a long way during the season,” said new Head Coach Paul Sanderson. Overall Sanderson was very pleased with the teams season. Besides Ablard’s gold medal performance in the breaststroke he also took seventh place in the 200 Individual Medley. The medley relay team of Ablard, Tom Ewert, Ken Van Dyke, and Brad Loseke took an eleventh place in the State Meet. Paddlers on this years squad earning letters were Ablard, Ewert, Loseke, Van Dyke, Scott Adkisson, Christophe Batellier, Brad Harms, Kirk Hicks, Terry Krepel, Jeff Lowry, Craig Walgren, and Wayne Zimmerman.

Crowds come in many shapes and forms with all kinds of people making them up. Anyone can be a part of a crowd whether it be big or small, young or old. A crowd can have a lot of people or just a few. Some people don’t consider a group of seven a crowd but many times they can very well be as loud. Crowds at CHS consist of different kinds of people. One group can be the people who like sports activities. They are the type that stick together and generally support athletics more than any other. Another group is just out to have a fun time. At major sports events CHS really does one of the best jobs of supporting our teams. Most of this crowd consists of parents and CHS students.

This year’s Boys Golf season had it ups and downs. The team did well in some tournaments but not so well in others. Overall, however, the young squad had a good time. Their performance this year changed time and time again. At times one team member would perform well while others didn’t, each seemed to take his turn as low scorer. As a consequence, Varsity and JV rosters changed regularly. The team was pleased by a second-place finish at Trans-Nebraska, though they all attest that they could have finished first. The team was not as pleased with the results of the Big Ten or District meets.

Girls Tennis improved if Although tennis was not a sure sport at CHS for the 1980 year, 13 very enthused girls practiced and worked every night after school to get themselves a good placing at the State Meet. The team was very close in ability, according to Coach Courtier, in the end it came down to who could win the last game to go to the State Meet. Coach Courtier was very pleased with the over-all improvement of Connie Micek, who had never played tennis before and was a very good player. Micek was the leader with the most lettering points for the season, along with Julie Barnes, Lisa Bobert, JuLee Courtier, Jodie Herrold, Judy Lassek, Cathy Micek, Nancy Sackett, and Sarah Selig. The team spirit was also good all year and the girls worked well together. Tennis isn’t one of the most watched sports but the Girls Track team was a crowd of cheering heard at some of the meets and they also cheered on the track girls’. Since tennis was almost dropped, Courtier had no help to start the year until Cindy Aerni volunteered her help which was much appreciated.

Besides performing during halftime at football games, the band’s fall activities included contests at Columbus Days, Wisner-Pilger, and the University of Nebraska where the nine best bands in the state competed for the top spot. During concert band season, three musicians attended All-State and many performed solos at the District Music Contest at Wayne, many receiving Vs.” The band as a whole also earned a superior rating at Wayne. The saddest moment of the year for the band came one morning in late March when Mr. Marik an- nounced that this year would be his last year as director. Band members joined together and bought a large cake to express their appreciation for everything Mr. Marik had done for them and presented it to him at the emotion-filled final concert. After the District Music Contest and the end of the concert band season, the group's attention turned towards the Portland Rose Festival. After school was out, band members met for intensive morning practices and the field show. A farewell concert was performed in Frankfurt Square on June 9th with the band marching to the park from the high school and back in 90-degree heat. Band members were filled with pride as Mayor George Johansen officially declared June 9th, 1980, Columbus High School Band Day.

Many players won certificates or trophies for outstanding performances and the band took 1st place at all of its contests except for one. At the Wayne State College contest, besides winning the overall 1st place trophy, the Columbus band also walked away with three of the possible four individual performer trophies. Musical selections this year tended toward Latin style than swing or rock, with A Song for My Children,” by Gary Langford and “Butterfly” by Steve Wright as contest tunes. Besides numerous appearances at pep rallies, basketball games and contests, the Jazz Band presented their annual Pops Concert on May 6th, with Mr. Marik as the featured soloist, and performed in public concerts before and during the band’s stay in Portland, Oregon.

Jazz Band 91 Concert at Capitol Highlights Year Highlighting this years chorus schedule was the concert at the State Capitol where the Concert Choir and New World Singers performed during Statehood Anniversary Celebration Day. Besides giving a concert, members of the groups were given a tour of the capitol. Another highlight this year, was hosting and performing with singers from Lincoln East High School. A big change in the New World Singers this past year was that they did a lot of jazz type music with vocal improvisation and a soft shoe tap dance. When participating in the District Music Contest, New World Singers, Sizzlin’ Sisters, and Girls Glee all received superior ratings. As soloists in Districts, Debi Rice, Beth Heins, Janice Coffee, and Sonya Mueller all received ones. TOP: Michelea Spegel and Brenda Glur concentrate on singing “It was almost like a song.

Some of their nicest tunes were strummed out at All State Orchestra where Lovci, Nyffeler, Steinsberger and an extra member, Kirstin Peterson (who also participated in some other orchestra contests) were all chosen from auditions to participate with this large group. Lovci, Nyffeler and Steinsberger also went to Wayne State’s music districts. Lovci and Nyffeler each played a solo and Lovci and Steinsberger played a duet. Lovci also participated in Hastings and Wesleyan Honor Orchestras. Just like all other sports and activities, orchestra members like to improve. So for this, they have a clinic for new techniques, practicing and meeting new people. This year only Lovci and Steinsberger went to Beatrice to find new learning experiences. The fall play, Calamity Jane, required the talents of some members for their musical section. Nyffeler and Peterson had the honor of sitting in the orchestra pit and accompanying the actors. All in all the orchestra members feel they had a successful year. However due to lack of interest and tightening of funds, the school board decided to drop the program for the 80-81 year. The five active orchestra members for the 79-80 school year were Kirstin Peterson. Nick Steinsberger. Kelly Lovci. Jann Nyffeler. and Tim Tucker.

Leafing through my journal in a Saturday night state of mind I came across a fragment of paper from days gone past and decided to reminisce. It was a Saturday in April, the 19th, I believe, when I was aroused from my stupor by the phone ringing off the wall. As I lifted it off the wall (brute strength) a mild and meek voice rolls from the phone, You JERK, you spaced off prom! Hop in that pile of junk of yours and get over there right now! Do you realize that the event of the year is going on right now and you’re not there taking pics? Don’t you know the prom spreads is pictures? JUST pictures!?” As I put the receiver to my ear I sweetly said, Burdines mortuary you gag ’em we’ll bag ’em and send them to HELLO.” After receiving my assignment I raced to the prime reason Chrysler went bankrupt, my '64 Dodge Slant. As I roll out of the drive in a cloud I hear my mother yell, Hey Stooge ya forgot your keys.” I soon arrive at the school only after clippin’ a 3 yr. old on a Big Wheel, two old ladies going to the social hour at the Lark Bar, and a couple of nuns on Mopeds. Seeing no parking place in sight I put it in low, did a few cookies only to find my car on top of Mr. Luthers green Rabbit. Oh Well, another fatality on a long list of casualties.............. Dan Davidchik is boggled by the hassles of a regular school day. The photo effect is made by casting a shadow over the photographic paper. Photography had its ups and downs for the '79-'80 year. One of the downs was forgetting to load your camera before leaving for your assignment. Photography 97 Musicals return with Calamity Comedy, fights, love and romance filled the CHS auditorium as the Fall Musical Calamity Jane” hit the stage November 9 and 10. The play takes place in a rowdy town in South Dakota called Dead-wood. The scene begins at the Golden Garter when the owner Millie (Suzette Carrig) is running around looking for the stage coach that has her actress on it, she is not reassured when Calamity Jane (Beth Heins) brings supplies into the saloon. When Calam tells her that there wasn’t anyone out there who looked like the banner. Millie runs out looking for the stagecoach. When Millie finally finds the stage coach, the singer turns out to be a male singer, Francis Fryer (Jeff Hitz). So Calam goes to Chicago to try to get Adelaide Adams (Kathi Miles) to perform in Deadwood. Blocked by a bad view of the performance, Calam tries to get a look at Adelaide. When the performance is over, Calam goes backstage to try to get into her dressing room. As it turns out, the real Adelaide had left and her maid Katie Brown (Debi Rice) was still in there pretend- Dressed like an Indian Squaw, Wild Bill (Jon Augustin) becomes angry when the crowds laugh at him.

When they arrive in Deadwood. everyone is excited to hear that Adelaide Adams is to perform. Lt. Danny Gilmartin (Doug Rice) and Wild Bill (Jon Augustin) both fall in love with her. Calam leaves Katie alone in her cabin and while she is gone, and Danny and Bill come to see her. Katie sends Bill out for some wood, and Danny tells Katie how much he loves her. When Bill returns, Danny asks Katie to the Ball. As it turns out, Bill takes Calamity to the Ball and there she sees Katie and Danny kissing. She becomes very upset so the next day she threatens Katie. Calamity then becomes very mad and so she leaves. Bill finds her to tell her that he loves her. As it ends up, Bill and Calamity get married as do Katie and Danny. The play was long due to the singing and dancing in it, but it was very well received by the students and others who came. One person said, It was one of the best plays CHS has had in a long time.” Hugh (Laurel Brunken). the stage manager, assists Adelaide Adams after her show. 98 Organizations A nervous Francis Fryer (Jeff Hitz) chug-a-lugs before his performance.

The Miracle Worker Scrambled eggs flying across the stage. Pitcherfuls of water thrown into people’s faces and a spoiled brat running amok. A mind with no windows, darkness within. A gradual prying at this mind, a search for openings. Finally, a crack, with light spilling in, at first gradually, then in a flood. A lonely soul, finding love that had for years been hidden. All this happened on stage in this year’s winter theatrical production, The Miracle Worker.” The plot centered around 7-year-old Helen Keller, blind, deaf, and mute since babyhood, and her teacher, Annie Sullivan. Annie, formerly blind herself, had been raised in an orphanage. Throughout the play, she was haunted by memories in the form of voices from her past. Totally inexperienced in teaching, she would find tutoring Helen a great challenge. Helen’s family, in their pity, had spoiled her and demanded nothing in the way of discipline. On the other hand, Annie believed that obedience is the gateway through which knowledge enters the mind of the child.” This brought on numerous fights and almost got Annie fired, but after two weeks of isolation with her teacher, Helen could keep herself clean, fed, and quietly occupied. At the end of the play, Helen remembered her childhood name for water — Wa-Wa” — and connected it with the deaf alphabet and the cold liquid running over her hand from the pump. The cast of “The Miracle Worker” was small and quite close” and got along with each other,” according to Suzette Carrig, who played Annie. Andy Martin, who played James, agreed and said, I enjoyed it. My part wasn’t hard because the character was about my age and a lot like me. Suzette said that this was her fifth and last play. “I thought this was the best one yet,” said Suzette. My part was hard at first, but after I read the book about Annie Sullivan written by Helen Keller, I understood and got to know the character.” CAST Helen Keller Ann Lasley Annie Sullivan ....

Coming from different countries, Prioux and Batellier experienced new customs and learned many new things. Prioux is from Belgium and Batellier is from France. Each of them stayed with a family in Columbus for a period of 11 months and went to school here. But CHS didn’t just receive new students, we also sent one to Germany, Susan Belitz. Belitz will be there for the year long program. She is to be home in mid July. As part of a talent show for AFS, these little girls do their routine. Christophe Batellier. from France, was one of two AFS students this year at CHS. Raphael Prioux from Belgium was the other AFS student this year.

Just ask any Thespian and they will tell you they went through a week long initiation to be allowed into the Thespian Club. But to even be initiated you have to work in two full night plays and five of the eight areas in theater which includes: acting, set construction, makeup, costumes, lighting, publicity, sound or special effects, and student directing. When you have completed these, you can be initiated. This year the initiates - who were Karin Miller, Andy Martin, Steve Buresh, Tony Robak, and Terry Krepel - had to do things that would humble themselves to senior Thespians. For example, initiates had to dress up in costumes, put on mime makeup, crawl to other Thespians, bring treats to other members, and wear the masks of comedy and tragedy. In the Thespians Club this year there were 21 members including the newly initiated members. The annual Thespian picnic was on May 14. Thespian members included: BACK: Beth Heins, Tharrin Hollatz. Nancy Bloebaum, Miki Averett. FRONT: Kim Evert, Cheri Brandt. Lisa Tobiason, Rod Howerton. As part of the initiation, Tony Robak wears the mime makeup.

Their new sponsor this year was Mr. Al Schnabel, Head Basketball Coach. One of the new ideas he brought into the system was for a lettermen’s club. Among C-Club activities were: attending Nebraska football games, selling caps at CHS football games, holding before school-breakfast meetings, and having a Coaches-C-Club picnic with the coaches as invited guests. Some other activities carried on by the club were serving concessions at Wrestling meets and at the Girls’ Big Ten Track meet. They also sold jackets and sweaters for fund raising projects.

There were three local J.A. clubs in Columbus this year. They were: F.M. Productions sponsored by Fleischer Manufacturing; Columbus Directors ’79 sponsored by B-D; and Phelko sponsored by Behlen. In each of these clubs they made something different. For instance, F.M. Productions made wall hangings; Columbus Directors ’79 made plant stands; and Phelko made pad holders. The purpose of the different things that were made is to help the students learn how to buy, make and sell their products. They also learned how to pay off their debts by using the money they made from their sales. FRONT ROW: Adviser Mrs. Osterhoudt. Tracy Schwind. Kerri Stephensen. Chris Sleddens.

Of course, a week couldn’t go by without the ”8th period donut run.” There was never any fear of being caught: “We’re selling ads.” Aside from the constant pressure of meeting deadlines, the year was filled with many other goals. Assistant Sports Editor Jim Herrold was honored by receiving 3rd place in the NHSPA contest for his skills in editorial writing. Another of the major targets of the writers on the Discoverer staff was to have an article mentioned in the “High School Press” column of the Omaha World-Herald.

With a new advisor and only two experienced staffers, work on the yearbook got off to a rather slow start. This pace continued throughout the year, with the only exceptions being deadline days when the staff accelerated to dizzying speeds as they tried to finish their layouts on time. The year on staff was quite an experience for most members. Typical comments, in and out of context, were “It was almost too much for one person to handle!” (Lisa Tobiason), “I can’t write a wrestling story because I don’t know anything about wrestling” (Mary Kunes), “Some of my best days were wasted in the darkroom” (Pegg Burdine, Photo Editor), “Don’t bother me” (Mr. Nyberg), and “Oh NOOOOO . . . . . . !” (Mr. Bill). Mr. Bill was the staff’s mascot and unofficial theme, suggested by Dave Grachek, our own Mr. Bill. “Oh NOOOOO...........!” seemed at times to be the most-often-heard sound coming from the Annual Room.

Homecoming was a great success, led by Vice-President Susie Johnson. The theme was ‘‘The Wiz.” Also helping with Homecoming were Booster Club sponsors, Miss Lund and Miss Schoenrock. To raise money, they sold programs at games, held bake sales, ran the concession stand at B-Ball games, and sponsored dances. Poster parties were not well-attended, but the girls who did come decorated the commons wholeheartedly, with a lot of spirit and pizzazz. Also the members made locker decorations for every person in every sport. And on April 24 they held a banquet in which the 1980-81 officers, maties, cheerleaders and chantleaders were announced.

Student Council also helped the Seniors get color Annual pictures by various money making activities. Putting on a dance once a month and operating the pop machine in the lunchroom were other responsibilities of Student Council. “We represent the student body so if a principal or administrator feels that there is something that concerns the students, he lets us know about it”, stated council member Scott Goering. Next year the Student Council will try to push school spirit. Attending a workshop this year gave them the idea. Officers this year were: President, Lynn Strehle; Vice President, Mike Whetstone; Secretary, Lisa Trofholz; and Treasurer, Craig Scheidegger. Sponsors were teachers Chris Dixon and Alan Griffths. Putting on skits were some of the activities of the student council. Mr. Dixon watches Barb Tuma draw one of the winners for the pie throw.

Stepping out in Square Dancing Get your partner, grab your girl Dosie Doe and away we go! Ah yes, square dancing, one of the funner things the Junior and Sophomore classes are able to enjoy. “I thought it was a lot of fun, I felt kind of dumb discoing but it was alright I guess.” Jon Joseph a Junior at CHS said. In talking to a few people the whole event was well liked. Some thoughts were along the lines of I had a lot of fun,” It was a true experience,” “I couldn’t handle the discoing that much.” Square dancing has been enjoyed for a long time and by many people, and here at CHS there has been made no exception. “Overall I believe that the kids really enjoyed themselves,” quoted a junior.

P.E. has many changes P.E. has had many changes made during this year; changes such as co-ed P.E. for Juniors. This is something new to CHS. The most common reaction among most juniors is that they like it better than regular P.E. Other Juniors don’t really care, because they are glad that it is their last year of P.E. Also as a change this year, Juniors were again given another privilege: Picking the P.E. classes for each quarter. But, after the conflict of having an uneven amount of boys and girls in one class, the P.E. Department decided to make students pick cards to see which P.E. class they would get each quarter. Unfortunately, sophomores were still stuck with the non-co-ed class. But they did about the same things that the juniors were doing. Overall, the main feelings about P.E. are the same: few seem to really like it, but then everyone is happy when it is finally over.

Business goes ‘as usual’ Learning new skills in typing, shorthand, and accounting gave many students the basic fundamentals in all areas of business. Some students could be seen in the typing room with their heads bent down in an effort to improve their skills. Other students were in the accounting room learning how to keep records and manage books and papers while other students were learning how to dictate in shorthand. In all, no matter where you looked, you could find students learning new skills and putting those skills to use to make everything go “business as usual.’ Billy Jo Schneider works hard to keep up on her Typing II project. Mike Rambour and Patty Chavanu concentrate on improving their typing skills. Carl Frerichs pauses from his Recording Keeping for a moment while other students listen to the teacher.

Getting involved in projects combined fun with learning. German students decorated their room for Christmas, complete with rows of shoes awaiting the arrival of St. Nick. A Schmeckfest was enjoyed when each member of each class brought an item of dessert native to Germany. German IV students put on skits at some of the elementary schools. German III students put on skits and gave Speeches in their classes. Elementary students at Emerson, Williams, North Park and Lost Creek learned about Germany and its culture from German IV students. Spanish students enjoyed a Christmas party by breaking a pinata and eating many traditional Spanish foods. Spanish IV students became student teachers as they went to the elementary schools once a week for six weeks and shared their Spanish vocabulary and knowledge with the children. Spanish teacher, Sandy Sypherd graded their style and way of teaching. ABOVE: Terri Hull gets even with Dave Divis during the Spanish Class “Gong Show.

English was taught by Mr. Larry Anderson, Mrs. Candace Becher, Miss Lana Danielson, Mr. Kevin Nyberg and Mr. Greg Waas. Eight quarters of English are required for graduation. All students are required to take Sophomore Comp. The general review of gram-mer and an introduction to the expository form of writing prepares the student for future courses. More than 25 different quarter classes were available for the students to choose from, ranging from general to college prep.

BELOW: Tracy Schwind works hard on an essay. 129 English Skills improved in special classes Something new in the Special Education class this year was a problem solving course. “The central part of the courses was an ETV program called “Thinkabout”. “The goal was to improve students critical thinking skills and assist them to develop systematic methods to use in solving problems”, explained Special Education teacher Chris Lund. All of the alternative education students and some of the special education students were in regular classes, also. “Students encounter difficulties sometimes in classes but for the most part these are worked out”, stated Miss Lund. Alternative Education teacher Mark Mueller taught classes such as: math, english, history, record keeping, and general business. Students worked at their own pace with help from him and other students. Next year an individualized geography class would be ready, also. Miss Lunds class list included: math skills, communication skills and an Adult living class. Suzi Hughes takes time out from her work. Miss Lund helps a student out with his vacation planning project. Miss Lund assists Debbie Hurich with her assignment. 130 Special Ed Both sexes benefit in Home Ec “Lifestyles are changing, everyone’s life is getting busier and to be an efficient and successful home manager is becoming a necessity in today’s society”, pointed out Home Ec teacher Shary Mueller. She also felt that both male and females could benefit from taking Home Ec. More boys are taking Home Ec each year and there is about an equal ration of boys to girls in the classes estimated Miss English, the other Home Ec teacher. New classes in Home Ec this year were a Clothing I Construction class and a unit on energy in the Foods and Nutrition class. Some different activities this year were: Christmas open house for parents and faculty, and Thanksgiving meal for all of the students in Foods classes. Miss English looks over all the good food made by students. Marketing A new face showed up in the Marketing department this year. Ms. Dryer took over the responsibilities of teaching the marketing aspects of business to students. New subjects as well as the old material was taught during the year. A major project for Marketing students was following the stock market. Each student picked out a stock and kept a daily record of that particular stock. At the end of the year a paper was written to review how the stock had done. Many other materials were covered during the year such as sales promotion techniques, rating displays and advertising, and preparing for a job interview.

When students take these courses they can easily learn or improve their skills and in doing this, thus it is easier to find a job that pays well. This year Mr. Busteed’s Senior shop boys constructed a miniature school house here and when it was completed, it was moved to where it was needed. This was something new to CHS and in doing this project, the boys learned how a real construction company would work. Of course there are many other courses that students could take, such as Automotives. Here they would learn how to do minor tune ups to major overhauls. This would save students money and time when they learn how to do these things themselves. Bruce Sinclair pauses from his work for a moment to smile for the camera.

The students each chose their area of interest such as acting, set design, make-up, lighting and publicity. Rehearsals were held each day during the scheduled class times. “The Affair of Lady Fairfax,” a Sherlock Holmes spoof, and The Pick of the Pickens,” a hillbilly comedy were the plays chosen by the fourth period class. Seventh period class chose a comedy, “3600 Seconds,” as their production. “The Secret,” a one-act play concerning the supposedly-haunted house of the Bartlow family was written by Jan Coffey for the eighth period class. The entire ninth period class did a take-off on Robin Hood, creating “Robin the Hood.” TOP: “The Affair of Lady Fairfax'' casts Dale Sheperd. Howard Cole. Dawn Kenp and Tom Ryan.

Indeed, there was a large variety of creative works displayed in the gym. The annual Fine Arts Festival which was held May 8 and 9, gave the students a chance to show off their artistic abilities, either through paintings, sculptures, pottery, or weavings. In addition to all the art work displayed, on the evening of May 8 the New World Singers presented a program along with the play “Airplane” put on by Ms. Schlobohm and students. More talent was shown by the Jazz Band as they performed during 6 period on May 9. TOP LEFT: Steve Buresh and Kim Evert pose for the camera after performing in the play. ' Airplane.

Mrs. Schlobohm said that there are basically four elements that are the goals of the Theatre I and II classes. One is to gain confidence in performing for others. Another is to gain appreciation for the theatre as an art form, and understand the time and effort involved in production. A third is to gain interest and possibly become involved in a community theatre program. The last element is to become familiar with the different areas of Theatre: acting, set construction, lighting, make-up, costumes and publicity. The highlight for the classes was a presentation of One-Act plays on May 2. TOP: You’re busted! The cops arrest the thief in the one-act play. The Secret, written by Jan Coffey.

Arithmetic learned as a part of life The Math department saw a new face, along with the originals, in Dale Bonge. The originals are Mr. Luebbe, Miss Owens, and Mr. Nitsch. These teachers have been doing the job at CHS for a while now. Math is one class or subject that is used in everyday living. It can be considered one of the biggest aspects to your job as well as in daily life. “Math is really a way of life for me during school I use it in about everything,” stated a CHS student who is taking classes like Chemistry, Math 3 and Accounting. TOP: ‘ Tell me my grade, Mr. Bonge! Towards the end of the semester, everybody wants to know their average. RIGHT: Doug Pennington and Cindy Yanes work feverishly on their Algebra in class.

This was the first year that biology was not an individualized class. One examination is given the entire class and all students work as a group. Together they have been able to raise the average grade of the class to 99%”, stated biology teacher Ron Callan. This was also the first year that science teacher Jack Young taught ecology. One of the aspects of the course involved the energy shortage and alternative sources for the future. Shari Dohmen and Jon Joseph work on their Easter egg experiment. All of the science classes included some type of lab work. Tom Goc discusses his egg with Chemistry teacher Mr. Dixon. 140 Science Social Studies has large enrollment “History gives a better perspective about the world today”, stated Social studies teacher Roy Jeffers. An estimated 73% of the student body were enrolled in some type of social studies class this year. The classes included: History, World Studies, Sociology, Modern Problems, and Economics. New faces were also seen in the Social Studies department this year. Al Schnabel was the new World Studies teacher. Mr. Jim Anderson was the substitute replacement for Mr. Beckenhauer who underwent a kidney transplant in January. Also subbing for a long period were Mrs. Alice Gangel and student teacher Mr. Doug Coffey. They stepped in for Mr. Wibbels, the modern problems teacher, who had knee surgery. Next year it is speculated that some new classes will be offered. Mr. Gordon Steinbrook will teach a course on mountain men, Mr. Roy Jeffers a class on political behavior and Mr. Edsel Wibbels a class on world religion. History students work on their reports in class. Mr. Steinbrook lectures to his U.S. History class. The school library offered some help for the history reports.

It was the last year of P.E. we were so glad it was done, cause when we were on lap 33 we decided it wasn’t much fun. And History was just such a bore with films almost everyday. We fell asleep and started to snore while our minds slowly faded away. The games that we attended were always so much fun, we tried our best to support our teams when we lost, or tied, or won. The wrestlers ran away with State, second time in a row; they made our school look really great, they made their talent show. Prom was such a rowdy night, we raised the money fast, and if we didn’t do it right, the Seniors would kick our__________ (exercise your imagination) And in the end — The life was good, the parties were fun, and we are the class of ’81.

Being a Sophomore involves many trials and tribulations. Some of them are like Sophomore Comp., big tough Seniors, new school policies, harder teachers, but one of the most frustrating is knowing what is cool and what is uncool. It’s really cool to have lunch at Burger King or McDonald’s. That way, people mistake you for a Senior who has open campus. It’s really uncool to get caught skipping out to eat at Burger King or McDonald’s. That way, EVERYBODY knows you’re not a Senior on open campus. It’s really cool to sit with the Seniors in the Commons when you should be in Study Hall. It’s really uncool to get caught on the wrong side of a locked outside door with Mr. Luther watching you. It’s really uncool to pull a fire alarm in the middle of winter. It’s really cool to be able to sneak your pop out of the Cafeteria and into the Commons. It’s cool to be one of the “regulars” in 104B. It’s uncool to know so little about 104B that when you get put there, you go to 104A by mistake. It’s cool to get out of school at the end of 6th. Never getting a down slip is cool. Not knowing what a down slip is, is definitely uncool. Intercepting a down slip is cool. It’s cool to come to school after the weekend with a neck that looks like its been connected to a vacuum cleaner. It’s cool to drive around school forty times before you go into the building before 2nd period. It’s uncool to get stopped for speeding on the thirty-ninth lap. It’s uncool to have your license plate read over the intercom because you left your lights on, especially in a blizzard. It’s cool to decorate your locker with black light posters. It’s uncool to skip out of class by hiding in your locker. It’s cool to sleep during a film and not get caught. It’s uncool to enjoy the Sophomore P.E. films too much. It’s uncool to gaze out the window and see your car drive by, and you’re not in it. It’s cool to white slip out for a week to go skiing in Colorado. It’s uncool to white slip out for a week to go skiing in South Dakota. It’s cool to sit on the heaters or the counter in class. It’s cool to go to a concert at Omaha Civic. EXCEPTION: if the band is Lawrence Welk, it’s definitely uncool. 178 Classes Kush, Caroline Kwapnioski. Leonard Kyster, Teresa Labens, Lisa Lange.

If anyone would have asked me, Mr. Nyberg, or the staff at any given deadline, they would have assured you that none of us thought we would ever live to see this page being done. Before I thank everyone for their help in this book, I would like to say that we all felt imprisoned by our responsibilities to this book at one time or another and we thought that this picture best described our feelings. But seriously folks, we all hope most sincerely that we have captured your precious memories of CHS and that you will like this book. Thank yous first go out to my staff, Diane Bryan, Dave Grachek, Robyn Groke, Jo Kantor, Mary Kunes, Tracy Noll, Bryan Nyffeler, Sue Obrist and Kirstin Peterson, because I couldn’t have done this book without them. Next a big thank you goes to our advisor, Mr. Kevin Nyberg who provided guidance, solved problems and most of all was a good friend. Thanks also goes to Mike Diffenderfer, our Walsworth representative, who was most anyone could ask for. A big thank you goes out to Head Photographer Peg Burdine for spending many long hours in the darkroom and at the action. Thanks also goes out to the other photographers, Christophe Batiellier, Ron Hare, Dave Keefauver, Melinda Levos, and Raphael Prioux who prevented this book from being a color-by-numbers yearbook. (Just kidding!) Anderson, Faul, Frieze and Senior Studios were very helpful in the gathering of pictures for the color Senior section. While I’m mentioning the Senior section, I must thank Mr. Dierman for his guidance. A most WALSWORTH PUBLISHING COMI'ANT MARCUINL MIMOVRI «•« sincere THANKS goes out to Mr. Dixon, Mr. Griffiths, and the entire CHS Stu-Co for their great help in raising the money for the color pages. I would like to thank Mary Nyberg for her help while we met grueling deadlines late at night last Winter. Thanks also goes to Dan Davidchik, Jann Nyffeler and Shari Penfield for their last minute help in finishing the book. Lastly, I would like to thank my husband, Tim and Traci Marie for their help, support, and incredible patience. Now I’ve thanked everyone except the most important people, you the people who bought ’79-’80 annuals and made this book possible. Thanks a lot, thanks for a great year, and good luck to all of you in the future. Lisa Tobiason, Editor 200 The End
