How do they relate? What is it about the 1981-82 school year that ties in with life as it is now and as it shall be? Different experiences may influence each person in a unique way. Insights gained from friendships, school activities, and academics help to develop the student as an individual. Picture the scene. It was late August, 1981. Students filled the halls in anticipation. The year started off on a good note once again. Old friends gathered to talk about their summer experiences and students began to make new friends. Spirited students strengthened school pride from the very beginning of the year. The success of each team during their respective fall sports schedule encouraged even more support from the student body. Accomplishing an impressive feat was the gutty Discovers' football team. The team changed their style and rolled all the way to the state semi-finals as a result. Fall found many students taking advantage of their last few weeks of warm weather as they were seen outdoors in many places. Kids liked to cruise down “mains” (13th and 14th streets), shop, go on dates, stay at home and get a tan, or participate in a variety of outdoor athletics. People could be found everywhere. As winter approached, students moved to indoor activities. Kids could be found in video arcades, at parties, over at their friends' houses, or, sometimes, even at home. Many students had jobs at various restaurants, department stores and businesses. These jobs were considered prizes, since finding jobs was difficult this year, reflecting the inflationary economy. School spirit carried over from the fall. The wrestlers waltzed through another undefeated season and their fourth consecutive state championship. The girls’ swim team also completed an undefeated dual season and Practicing their marching show for a performance is the Columbus High band. Demonstrating his solid backhand stroke is a preppy Clarey Castner. Overcome by happiness in the presence of Rick Podraza and Cody Schilling is an elated Jody Stone. Throwing a Norfolk Panther for a big loss is Larry Jacobs (85). 2 Opening Celebrity Johnny Carson greets the town of Columbus as well as these lucky cheerleaders at the Columbus-Norfolk game.

Justing sitting around and taking it easy in the gym are Brad Harms and Chet Hahn. Many students enjoy relaxing in the Commons after lunch. Opening 3 Consoling Dana Gratzl after receiving a disappointing rating in the Pershing marching competition in Lincoln, Nebraska is band president Van Zwick. Friends often get together in between classes to talk as they go to their next class. Sometimes they even talk about their next class. Getting into the spirit of spirit week on punk rock day are Mickie Senften and Colleen Goering. 4 Opening (continued from page 2) placed fifth in the state meet. Boys' basketball games were often close and intense, so a new boys cheering group. “Section A, emerged. The group filled the gym with their enthusiasm. Spring found students eager to return to the great outdoors. The melting snow and warmer weather was followed by the sight of motorcycles, people washing their cars, and other preparations for the summer. Seniors could look at the 1981-82 school year as a chance to prepare for their futures after graduation. Some graduates would go on to college, while others would work or look for a job. Juniors could play the role of the middle-man. They had the opportunity to take advantage of what they had learned from high school experiences the previous year. Sophomores were exposed to the “big kids'' for the first time. Their fields of knowledge and experience were expanded. The school year itself was filled with many activities other than the fundamental rules of learning. The musical “Two by Two'' and the all-school play “Get Smart kept students active in theatre, while band, choir, C-club, pep club, and student council, as well as 14 different sports, offered everyone a chance to get involved. Even Johnny Carson made a guest appearance at the Columbus-Norfolk football game. He was filming for the television special “Johnny Comes Home. Memories of the 1981-82 school year will bring back thoughts of joy to some and perhaps thoughts of regret to others. Students learned, grew, and developed. They had fun and they also worked. Through their experiences, the classes of '82, ’83, and 84 have prepared for what is ... Discovering some of the facts of chemistry are Jim Kamm and Dave Loseke. Beyond the Horizon Gathered in the Commons for a Christmas sing-a-long are several students. Standing at attention during the playing of the national anthem is Teresa Kyster. Opening 5 Student Life Division 7 Varied Activities Entertain Teens CHS students are constantly on the run. They like to be entertained all the time, always doing something different so they won't be bored. In a normal school day, students sometimes build up tensions. To relieve their tensions, they like to have an outlet. These outlets include getting french fries at McDonald s, going home and listening to the stereo blasting out their favorite tunes, or going to a video game arcade such as the Planet Caravan. To keep busy on the weekend, teens would go to a movie, on a date, to a party, or drive around to see their friends or meet someone new. Rock, as always, is still the most entertaining style of music. Students’ time and money were spent on today’s sounds. Kids could be seen driving around listening to their car stereos blaring out their favorite tunes. Popular albums were put out by groups such as the Rolling Stones, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, AC DC, the Cars, and the Police just to name a few. The rock station favored by most FM-radio fans was KEZO (Z-92). Not everyone was into rock. Country music was popular with quite a few students. Artists such as Alabama, the Oak Ridge Boys, Hank Williams Jr., Barbara Mandrell, and Kenny Rogers were some of the favorites. Many students attended concerts by their favorite artists. Groups like ELO, Foreigner, Journey, Blue Oyster Cult, Foghat, Ozzy Osborne, Pat Benatar, Van Halen, J. Geils Band, Barry Manilow, and Blackfoot performed concerts in the Omaha Civic Auditorium or Lincoln’s Pershing Auditorium. This year being thin was a craze, especially among the girls. To help reach this goal, many of them attended dancercise and calisthenics classes. To while away idle hours in the afternoons students kept themselves busy with a variety of sports, hobbies, and an endless amount of other odds and ends. Challenging the centipede machine at the Planet Caravan video arcade is Jerry Peterson. Talking on the phone is Lynn Hoff as she enjoys one of teen s favorite pastimes. Attending a movie has been a source of enjoyment for many people on 2.r.iencls' 0ne of the movies that kept students entertained this year was the horror fl.ck Halloween . 8 Student Life Ms. Pacman was a popular video game derived from Pacman. Here Doug Meyers tries his luck on the machine. Some of the popular albums this year were ' Foreigner 4 , “For Those About To Rock by AC DC, Escape by Journey. Give The People What They Want by The Kinks. Wild-Eyed Southern Boys by .38 Special. HI Infidelity by REO Speedwagon. and Freeze Frame by the J. Geils Band.

Cruising down 13th street in her Pinto is Sandy Martinsen. Entertainment 9 Knickers Mark New CHS Styles Throughout the century there have been noticeable styles of clothes and hairdos worn by high school students that have marked each decade. Now going into the eighties students most often are wearing the standard jeans, flannel shirts, T-shirts, and corduroy pants. Students at CHS, though, have started wearing what may well become the Look of the Eighties”, sweatpants and knickers. Although sweatpants in the past have been worn for sports and in leisure hours, a great number of students now wear them to class. With a high number of students wearing them, they have generally been accepted in school. Yet one senior, Sharon Jasper, feels that, “For school they look out of place, kind of sloppy” and she wouldn’t wear them to school. Also, parents tend to agree with this and don't like them. Junior at CHS Audrey Haferland, who owns two grey pairs of sweatpants, feels that they are comfortable and said, Yes, they definitely will be wearing them next year.” Knickers can be worn with sweaters or blouses, panty hoses or socks, ballet shoes, baby doll shoes or any preppy shoes, depending on the kind of knickers. So many different styles and colors are available that students can either be dressed up or more casual. Tracy Nosal sums up the feelings of many girls at CHS about knickers in three words, I love knickers!” Sophomore Jeff Heins wears a favorite, the flannel shirt, while studying in the library. Marcie Herrold, Bev Wichman, and Karen Ablard pose for the camera on their way to class. Kelly Lovci, Chris Lee, and Linda Gray model the latest fashions. 10 Student Life Tim Kwapnioski wears the style of the day. Teresa Brailey displays her rainbow shirt.

Mike Giannou sets pins as part of his job at Boulevard Lanes. Frying an egg at Stack-n-Steak is Lee Bartlett. 12 Student Life Unemployment Rises Columbus Experiences Job Crunch With an unemployment rate of 5.1% in Columbus many students may have had a hard time trying to find a job. Students in Columbus may have had better luck if they had gone to the Nebraska Job Service. When students go to the job service they are asked to fill out a card that will ask them to list their job skills as well as job interests. For those students that did have a job instead of going home, getting a bite to eat, going driving around or doing whatever they wanted, they went to their jobs after school. Places of employment for CHS students were various restaurants such as Burger King, McDonalds, Stack-n-Steak and Johnnies Steak House. Places like Casey’s, Pamida. Boulevard and Westbrooks Lanes, Fremont Office Supply, Columbus Municipal Airport, and the Data Center were also places of employment for students from CHS. Most students earned anywhere from $3.35 to $3.50 or more an hour. In a survey taken by the yearbook staff, most students said they spent around 20% of their paycheck for entertainment, 20% for clothes, 50% for a car, gas, and insurance, and 10% for education. Work Release is a program which students can take instead of classes in the afternoon hours. Students who get out on work release usually get out around lunch time. They go to work till 5:00 or later and receive credit hours for working. Giving the camera a startled glare is Dale Shepherd at Burger King. Cleaning tables is part of Alan Johnson's job at Bonanza. Ringing up an order at McDonalds is Kathy Kraenow. Jobs 13 This sleek-looking Grand Torino belongs to Bob Ryan. Showing the art of acceleration is Pat Willman in his powerful 73 Nova. Stepping out of her car, Kathy Stoltenberg seems to be enjoying herself in spite of the snow weather. Towing the victory bell in Wog's jeep are Shawn Mueller. Craig Walgren (driving), Troy Paben, Lisa Bobert, and Wayne Zimmerman. 14 Student Life Classics and Clunkers Cruise CHS Whether a car is a classic, a recent model, or just a plain old junker that runs when it feels like it, it’s probably been seen around the turns of CHS. Cars have always been popular among high school students. Since students have recently reached the driving age, the novelty of owning a car is fresh in their minds. Sports cars are among the favorites to own, the most popular being Trans-Ams, Firebirds, and other similar small cars. Many times students are seen cruising around in their cars before and after school. However, these aren't the only cars that rule the road. Many a car cruising around may look like it's a long overdue museum exhibit or a junkyard relic. How they stay together on the road is a mystery. Cars aren’t the only vehicles on the road. Students also cruise on motorcycles, mopeds, and in vans. Although gas prices soar, many students are still found cruising in their vehicles. To save gas, sometimes students carpool to parties or sports events. Some students use this parking lot to get together. A classic pickup, owned by Rick Terry, sits proudly In the parking lot. This old station wagon owned by Bill Puckett has seen its better days. Cruising home from school In his red Camaro is Doug Lewis. This smooth-looking Corvette is owned by Laura Tietjen. Cars 15 Teens Keep Active in Summer Sur Summer for some is a time of planning for the future, but for most it is a time of relaxation and fun. Most students are relieved that school is out and look forward to three long months of swimming, tanning or just plain layin' around. Popular activities of last summer were playing softball and baseball, partying at someone’s cabin, going to drive-in movies with a favorite date or a carload of friends, and taking road trips to Omaha for concerts. A few of the headliners at these concerts were Styx, Ted Nugent, and The Beach Boys. The Platte County Fair was also a popular place to be, as it is most years. It's a place for students to go to see friends they haven’t seen since school let out, and to have some last minute fun before school starts up again. With the end of summer comes the beginning of all sports as the teams prepare for a new season of competition. The bustle of activities begins once again as everybody reminisces on the fun times they had over the summer months. The Pro-Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio is where Karin Bennett vacationed. Knee-high water resulting from floods over the summer makes for good canoeing. Sitting atop her horse. Keri Tooley displays her Reserve Champion award in barrel racing won at the Platte County Fair. Surprised by the camera is Marylin Kucera at Wayne State Music Camp. Students Enjoy Variety of Hobbies Students at CHS enjoy a wide variety of hobbies and leisure time activities. These range from playing video games to babysitting tarantulas. Favorite hobbies include a variety of outdoor and water sports, collecting stamps and coins, photography and drawing. One senior says he enjoys fixing up his 73 Nova, while another senior says she likes any kind of water sports, such as skiing, sailing, swimming, and of course, boy watching. Sophomores and junior also enjoy these things, but they are involved in other hobbies, too. Some favorites listed were hunting, trapping, riverrafting, mountain-climbing, cooking, crafts, and collecting things. Standing by his jeep is Clint Scheffler. Looking over her seashell collection is Michelle Zoucha. Riding a wheelie on his ten-speed is Myron Krebsbach. Cycling on a warm day is a popular way to while away a few hours. Here Cheryl Favors prepares for a ride. Summer, Hobbies 17 Columbus Celebrates Birthday To many people Columbus is just another town in the state of Nebraska. But to the community of Columbus the city holds many fond memories of the 1981-82 year. Columbus, a community of just over 17,000 experienced its 125th Birthday in a celebration that was held in early October. The celebration started out with a large birthday cake that was made and distributed by several people of the community. The celebration was continued through the weekend of October 3. A carnival, marching band competition, karate exhibition and a large parade on the following Saturday were just a few activities that were held during the celebration. Columbus Days ended Sunday with a Rosary March that was held by the local churches. The community experienced an unemployment rate of 5.1%. Despite the unemployment rate, Columbus experienced the opening of several new businesses. Pamida, Rice Automotive, and the expansion of one of Columbus' larger manufacturing firms (Becton-Dickinson) were the major openings. Several businesses in Columbus were not as lucky, experiencing layoffs throughout the year. The economic crunch took effect on several different businesses, realties, and constructions. In early fall of '81 Columbus experienced flooding from the rain they had received during a several day period. Flooded basements and streets could be seen around the community. Winter came and so did the snow; the city was hit by sub-zero temperatures. In the spring of '82 the city again experienced flooding. In the month of May, Columbus received close to ten inches of rain. The rain had many ill effects on the farmers who had to hold off planting their crops. Jackson-Fine Linen experienced a fire in their building during the fall of '81. One of Columbus' famous historical marks was closed. Saint Mary’s Hospital came tumbling down after existing since before the turn of the century. The memories of Saint Mary's Hospital will remain for many years to come. In the spring of '82 Columbus had a dispute between Columbus Cable T.V. and Cable Vision. The dispute started after the cable stations renewal period came up. The city council was trying to decide if they should give the renewal to Columbus Cable or a new firm which had sent in a bid for the cable franchise. Mayor George Johansen's veto was overridden to keep Columbus Cable in town. In March of '82 Columbus learned that SAFEWAY Grocery was to be closed after serving Columbus many years. In July Food-4-Less will open. Food-4- Less bought the building after they found out that SAFEWAY would be closing. The 1981-82 year had many fulfilling and disappointing memories that will remain for years to come in the minds of the people of Columbus. 18 Student Life City employees ready a birthday cake for Columbus’ 125th birthday.

Columbus Events 19 Five seconds after liftoff, the space shuttle Columbia embarks on one of its two journeys into space. Remains of the Air Florida jetliner are being hoisted out of the Potomac River following the tragic crash. Thumbs up ... White House Press Secretary James Brady gives a positive sfgn upon his return to his home in Alexandria, Virginia, after 8 months in the hospital. 20 Student Life Conflicts Threaten World Security Beyond the horizon ... beyond the walls of Columbus High ... out in the rest of the world ... it was quite a year. The big news happened in Poland, where the Communist regime there declared martial law and arrested anyone they could find who opposed them, including Lech Walesa and other members of the Solidarity labor union. In a previously unknown British possession called the Falkland Islands, a war raged. Argentina, to which the Falklands are adjacent, seized the islands after 150 years of British rule. Britain didn’t take kindly to this, and thus sent troops and planes by ship (including the luxury liner Queen Elizabeth II) to retake the islands, while peace talks went on to resolve the conflict. When the talks failed, the British invaded and slowly fought to reclaim the islands. Another major conflict occurred in El Salvador. A civil war raged between the U.S.-supported dictatorship and the leftist rebels, believed to backed by Cuba and the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. There was talk of U.S. troops getting involved, along with the fear of such an involvement becoming “another Vietnam.” Libya, the J.R. Ewing of world affairs, also made the news a few times. Rumor had it that dictator Mummar Kaddafi sent a “hit squad’’ to assassinate President Reagan and other U.S. officials. However, the plot never materialized. Libyan planes attacked four U.S. fighter jets in international airspace near Libya. Two enemy planes were shot down, which elated the U.S., and made Kaddafi angrier than ever. Meanwhile, a little closer to home, things were busy as well. FBI agents, disguised as Arabs, nailed several congressmen in Abscam, an undercover operation to try and briofficials, to test their honesty and integrity. The nation’s air traffic controllers went on strike, violating a no-strike clause in their contract with the government. President Reagan responded by firing them. Major league baseball players went on strike as well, resulting in a summer devoid of America’s favorite pastime. The strike was resolved, and “Play ball!” again rang out in the fall. Wayne Williams was convicted of two of the twenty-eight murders of black children and young adults in Atlanta, Georgia. He received a life in prison sentence. Two skywalks inside the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City collapsed on a dance being held below. One hundred thirteen people were killed and 186 were injured, resulting in millions of dollars lost in lawsuits. An Air Florida airliner crashed into the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. during an ice storm, killing 78 people. A Japanese pilot went beserk in a jet airliner and crashed into the Sea of Japan, killing all aboard. Rubik’s Cube was the fad of the year. A cube with nine squares of various colors on each side, the object of the puzzle was to move the squares in a certain manner so that there was only one color on each side of the cube. With billions and billions of combinations, that wasn’t very easy to accomplish. Off shoots on the game were other puzzles like Pyraminx and the Missing Link, a muscle strain called Rubik’s Thumb, and books by disgruntled cubists, such as 101 Uses For a Dead Cube.” The space shuttle Columbia went up two more times, experiencing problems with each trip, but each time coming back to be used again. The Rolling Stones toured the U.S. to the delight of millions of fans, who made sure nearly every concert was sold out. The Stones grossed over $30 million from the tour. The poor economy caused several major companies to file for bankruptcy. Among these were Braniff Airlines, Wickes Corporation (owner of Beh-lens), and Sir Freddie Laker’s Laker Airways, originator of no-frills airline flights. Egyptian president Anwar Sadat was assassinated by several members of the Egyptian army in August. These officers were tried, and died before a firing squad. Civilian conspirators were also tried, and hung. Other people of note who died included comedian John Belushi, actors William Holden, Paul Lynde, and Natalie Wood, General Omar Bradley, boxer Joe Louis, commentator Lowell Thomas, and singer Harry Chapin. In the world of sports, San Francisco defeated Cincinnati in Super Bowl. In the World Series, the Dodgers beat the Yankees. Wayne Gretsky broke several records in the National Hockey League, and the rookie sensation scored goals to the max (megagoals, so to speak.) Triumphs, disasters, good news, bad news ... yet, it was truly quite a year. Addressing a press conference is Lane Kirkland. AFL-CIO president. With his escort of deputies, murder suspect Wayne Williams exits. World Events 21 Spirit and Song Echo in Commons Wanna know what’s going on ... where the action’s at? Go to the social center of the school. This, of course, is the Commons. The Commons is a meeting place for everyone. It's where students go to study, think, sleep and eat. The Commons is a place to get together and talk about plans for the weekend or to study for the big test or just relax. Students meet in the Commons before their first period class to talk about who did their homework, who didn’t, personal problems, and a little bit of everything in between. People can also be found in the Commons during a lunch period, after school, or during a study hall. The Commons is something more than just a place to talk. It is a gallery of posters and streamers promoting school spirit. It is a practice ground for the cheerleaders or lounge for students and teachers to relax In during a dance held in the cafeteria. Before Christmas break, a sing-a-long was even held during the lunch periods. Directing at a Christmas slng-a-long Is Bill Bailey. Watching over the Commons are Al Schnabel. Mona Schoenrock, and Nancy Ellis. Relaxing on the outside is Jean Alt. Resting on the ground is much more comfortable than crashing In a classroom. 22 Student Life Sitting in the Commons are a few students. While gathered in a group, a few friends talk. Strolling by the Commons. Charlie Sheretz and Kenny Borer talk as Randy Boyd and Mark Swartz walk in the background. Talking in the Commons are a bunch of juniors. Performing at a sing-a-long are Jay Augustin. Alan Ferris. Darrel Freeman, and Van Zwick. Loyal Crowds Boost School Spirit School spirit ran rampant through the halls of CHS. Prompted by athletic triumphs, the student body maintained a driving loyalty and strongly supported everything from football and volleyball to wrestling, swimming, and basketball. Crowds of enthusiatic Discoverer fans followed the teams from game to meet to tourney pumping up the athletes. Even rival schools such as Scotus joined the spirit bandwagon and cheered on CHS. From the SuperDis-coverer to the Blues Brothers to Section A students rallied together to give their support. Aside from the crazy costumes probably the most obvious sign of school spirit was the attendance at the Blues Brothers are a strong part ot Section A at a Discoverer sporting event. Looking for a seat at a football game is Mickie Senften. Cheering on the Discoverers are Teresa Kyster and Tonie Hockenberger as Pat Galley grabs some water. Clapping to the school fight song is the student body. 24 Student Life various events. A large and boisterous crowd, coupled with the yells of the cheerleaders and musical support from the band, helped to add to the excitement of the events and also to spur on the Discoverers. Given any Friday or Saturday night, many CHS students and faculty could be found somewhere in the stands anticipating another Discoverer victory. Pep rallies, car bashes, and dances were attended by supportive students who wanted to see their team be the best. Senior Lori Ott summed it up well, Everyone was always keyed up, and that’s what a school needs to be true champions. This year, we had it. - 1 I I 1 Speaking at a pep rally on behalf of the football team are Coach Dick Luebbe. Rick Podraza. Jay Bullington, Mark Bellum, and Tom Alt. Keeping warm at a football game are pep club members Amy Anderson, Tami Rice, and Patti Podraza. Disappointed after a marching competition in the Pershing Auditorium, Shellie Brakenhoff, Karin Bennett, and Annette Hagelstein reflect on their performance. Masked fans find ways to help get a crowd going at a football game. Spirit 25 COLUMBUS r sn COLUMBUS I Dressed as the Blues Brothers, Craig Walgren and Shawn Mueller go out on the town. Enjoying his McDonalds drink is Norm Svoboda. Riding around town are Kevin Drummond and his friend. Taking a date to the movie is a popular night activity. Listening to an interesting story, Patti Podraza, Tracey Nosal. and Mia Carrig enjoy a cool drink and the night air. 26 Student Life Night Caters to Different Interests “It’s Friday!” “All right!” “What ya’ doin’ tonight?” “Party hearty!” “There’s a wrestling meet here.” “We re goin' boy chasin’.” “I’m gonna watch Dallas.” Meet us at Planet Caravan.” “Where’s the party?” “I've got to babysit.” “Let’s go see Sharkey’s Machine.” “I’ve got Chemistry to do.” “I'll wait for him till 8:00, then I’m leaving.” “I’m goin’ roller skating. “I’ve got to work.” “I’m taking a night course.” “I’m gonna practice my music.” “Come on, go with us!” “I’m just gonna sleep.” This sort of talk can be heard most Fridays (or any other day, for that matter) in the lunch room, commons, hall, or a classroom. The students of CHS like to enjoy themselves after a long school day. Some did have to work, but even while working they found ways to have fun. Sometimes they didn’t get off till after 1:00, while some other students worked shifts starting at 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning. During basketball and football season, there would always be a crowd of CHS kids at the game. Games were a good place to get rowdy and to show school spirit. Students would also take “road trips” and go to away games. Road trips weren’t just for out of town games, though. Any excuse was fine. If someone wanted an Arby’s sandwich or something else not found in Columbus, they’d pack up some friends and drive. Some didn’t even have a destination in mind; they were just “on the road again’’. Students also like to party. The parties were as different as the people attending them. Just ask the people who had a beach party on the Safeway parking lot. Taking a break from work at Casey s is Lisa Bobert. Laughing and talking together are Jerry Erks and Shawn Mueller. Stu-Co Sponsors Celebration Anything Goes Day, in honor of Columbus' 125th Birthday, was held April 14. Sponsored by student council it was their way of throwing a big birthday party for the town. The event was also held to unite Columbus High’s student body and faculty for an afternoon of fun and games. The games that were played required a type of skill in which everyone could participate. Students were excused from classes at 10:55 a.m. to eat sack lunches which were available in the lunchroom. At 12:00 p.m. teams and coaches were dismissed to the field in the back of the school to get set for the games. Teachers were coaches and stu-co members refereed for the day. Students in school had their names submitted to a computer in Mr. Griffith’s room. The computer then randomly selected the teams to make them fair. The games were played with each round lasting six minutes, with two minutes to get into a new posftion. A game played that required a little strategy was marshmallow on a string; students sucked one yard of string into their mouth and ate the marshmallow on the end. The inner-tube race, another dffficult game, was a relay in which students were to run a marked course while wearing three inner-tubes. No hands were allowed to hold up the inner tubes. The day itself started out rather dreary, with showers off and on during the morning hours. Just before the games were scheduled to start, the gray skies gave way to a warm sunny afternoon. Blowing bubbles is easy and fun as shown by Kathy Stoltenberg. Racing to the marshmallow Jim Peterson and Chris Small find chewing string difficult. Running the ropes are Pam Heins and Susan Fendrick. Trying to get up isn’t as easy as it seems when you can't use hands. 28 Student life Students watch participants in the inner-tube race. Tricycle races proved to be a little tougher than Dan Aerni thought they would be. Trying to pass a lifesaver on a toothpick to Colleen Goering is Eric Abdullah. Testing the whipcream, Karin Bennett sprays Shelly Fowler's mouth. Members of the student council watch Eric Abdullah and Diane Wunderlich in the strip race.

These are just a few of the things being said about the Rubik's cube. At first glance, the puzzle appears easy. It has six sides, each with nine brightly colored squares of white, red, orange, green, blue, and yellow. All you have to do is rotate the cube and arrange it so that all the reds show on one side, the blues on an other, and so on. The Rubik's cube can be found in many places, classrooms, homes, breakrooms, churches, purses, pockets, on keychains, and necklaces. It seems to be everywhere. “I'd like to throw it out the window and stomp on it until it breaks into a million pieces!” said a junior classman when asked how he felt about the Rubik’s club. Instead of stomping on his cube, he could just buy the Rubik's cube smasher, which was also developed this year. Since man is able to walk on the moon, who would think a little plastic cube could get the better of him? Actually, the Rubik's cube is really a very educational device. It makes people think three-demensionally instead of two-dimensionally. It keeps the mind active since it has over 43 quintillion moves. Rubik has come out with a book about how to solve his cube, but the book is more confusing than the cube itself, so many people just figure it out on their own. It may take days, weeks, months, or even years to figure out the cube, but it can be done! Trying to conquer the cube can be mind-boggling. Here Doug Meyers gives it a try.

Shona Anything Goes in the Beginning Again this year a new crop of students sprung up in the halls of CHS to take the place of those who graduated. These recent arrivals learned to adjust to experiences they had not yet encountered. To some the transition from junior high to senior high was easy, but for many others there was a longer period of adjustment. During this time anything could happen. The typical confused student might end up in his English class during his science class period or vice-versa or even in someone else’s English class for that matter. The immediate transferral from top dog to the bottom of the waiting list occasionally allowed new students (particularly sophomores) to assume that life was still going to bend their way. This, as many juniors and seniors may attest to, can lead to conflicts of interest. Not to say that sophomores are wrong in such matters. It’s just that juniors and seniors take it upon themselves to pass on their wisdom. Eventually, as adjustment time passed, new high school students became one of the ‘ regulars . Each student discovered what he could or couldn't do in class as well as out of class in school. With their newly acclaimed lifestyle they were now able to join the ranks CHS.

Everyone has something that annoys them. It may be something as little as a person biting their fingernails or something as big as driving down the street and hitting every red light. Sometimes these annoyances are called pet-peeves. Pet-peeves include things like scratching fingernails across a chalkboard, making styrofoam squeak, or not having open campus for all students. The following is a list of pet-peeves courtesy of students from several English classes: Two people sitting in the Commons who look like they're making out People who stick their nose in other people’s business People with big mouths Little brothers and sisters Tests in all your classes on the same day Homework Girls who wear clogs Open campus for only seniors Stepping in gum or dog — Students gossiping in the halls Every other school lunch No gas in your car People who stand in front of your locker Eating lunch seventh period Whoever made the attendance policy Students who walk slowly down the halls Sitting in assigned seats in the auditorium Soap operas People who dress alike Two-faced people Chewing aluminum foil People who take surveys for the annual o Dedicated math stars like Lori Buggi occasionally find a neighbor like Steve Christensen to be distracting.

To some, cool means ice (as in chewing or dropping down someone’s shirt). To others it’s the act of doing strange, different, and all-together craaaaaazy things on purpose. To be cool one must first find out what one’s own personal opinion of cool (or for some what their friend’s) is. Then they should saunter (that’s a cool way to say “walk ) around the coolest place they know of (hopefully not their refrigerator) and do cool things with their cool friends. Here are some cool things a person could try: wear fashionable clothes comb their hair change their underwear (at least once a week) talk to the principal Those are cool, but how about super cool? OK. here are some super cool: have their nose pierced wear their clothes inside out date a punk-rocker have a kumquat tatooed on your cheek tell dead baby jokes go cross-ocean swimming write all their term papers in purple ink Then, if anybody wants to be absolutely, positively, super-duper cool, they should write features for the annual.

Administration, Staff 69 Home Ec Provides Course Variety Many people think that home ec is just where girls learn to cook and sew. This is not true. Six different classes are offered in home ec, including Parenthood Education and Clothing taught by Mrs. Pat Mueller, as well as Food and Nutrition, Adult Living, Single Survival, and House and Interior Design taught by Mrs. Mary Anne Fleis-chacker. Also, one-fourth of the students are boys! Some of the things learned in Clothing are mixing and matching clothes for different seasons, selecting colors that go together, doing alterations, pressing, sewing, and repairing clothes. Parenthood Education taught teens what they need to know to raise a family. The students had a pre-school day where they invited children and provided all of the entertainment for them. In housing and Interior Design, the students visited Greiner's Furniture and learned how to furnish a home according to different periods, such as Victorian, Early American, and Contemporary. When they went to Pat s Store For Homes, they learned about wallpapering, floor coverings, and painting a home. One of the features of Adult Living this year was when Reverend Ernest Smith came and talked to the class about pre-marriage counseling. Adult Living taught students how to deal with various aspects of life such as relationships, engagements, marriage, reproduction, aging, death and dying. Single Survival taught students how to live on their own with modern day problems. They learned to assume responsibility and the importance of self identity. They also did some cooking and sewing projects. According to Mrs. Fleischacker, a study of foreign foods was the most popular unit in Foods and Nutrition. Students enjoyed the cooking labs. Laying out a pattern on an ironing board is Bob Harding. Washing dishes after doing a cooking lab are Ron Kudron and Kelly Florendo. The Parenthood Education class had a preschool day.

Students who go into the fields of cabinetmaking and precision toolmaking will find this experience especially helpful. In addition to the newly purchased equipment, Mr. Richards and Mr. Post built a new tool cabinet during fourth quarter last year. A new drafting teacher, Mr. Rick Benson, was added to the industrial arts staff when Mr. Amundson went on a one year leave. Students who ventured into an electronics class were kept busy with the world of electronic components as they were introduced to information that might help them plan a career in this growing field.

Miss Jean Detlefsen, art teacher, said that most of the awards came from the advanced art class, which students enroll in by permission only. The scholastic awards included an Honorable mention for Billie Goede-ken’s sculpture, a gold key award for Jeff Beacher’s sculpture, and two gold key awards for drawings by Dale Shepherd. Shepherd’s portfolio got honorable mention, and went on to nationals in New York. One of four scholarships went to Shepherd in the Wesleyan Honor Show. Greg Paprocki and Tim Zoucha were alternates. Shepherd also won a special activities scholarship from Kearney State. Scott Melcher, along with journalist Chris Bleacher, got fourth place in a statewide school advertisement contest. Melcher and Shepherd were two of six winners of a Family Life in America art competition and their projects were sent on to Washington D.C. Most art students participated in the CHS Art Show, May 6 and 7. Summing up the year in art was senior Dale Shepherd. He said it was mind expanding ... and Zoidal.” Concentrating on their work is a drawing class. Looking at Karin Bennett's artwork are Mickie Behrens and Kim Galley. This sculpture by Jeff Beacher won a gold key award. Drawing classes have a still life set up to draw from. Here Debbie Bredehoft glances up from her art work. 74 Activities Students Excel With Musical Ability There are a number of different music organizations at Columbus High. Various musical groups at CHS are marching and concert band, mixed chorus, girls glee, New World Singers, and Sizzlin’ Sisters. A new group that formed this year is the BarbershoD Quartet. All these groups performed at least two concerts and they also participated in the district music contest at Platte College. Marching band performed at all home football games and jazz band performed at all home basketball games. Both marching band and jazz band participated in various competitions around the state. At the end of the year, all the instrumental and vocal groups participated in the Pops Concert on May 6 in which they performed modern and popular music. r The newest musical group to hit Columbus High is the Barbershop Quartet. The members of the quartet are (left to right) Dennis Launderville, Doug Pennington, Nathan Smith, and Brian Edwards.

Art, Music 75 Theater II Produces One-Act Plays Each of three Theater II classes presented a one-act play on April 30 in the high school auditorium. All member of each class had a chance to participate in an area of theater. “The Freak and the Fuzz” was a laid-back story about a “freak who had nothing in life and tried to make it better by getting himself put in jail. This was a play which included a very small cast in which every role was important. Another of the plays “Hear them Hillbilly Wedding Belles” was an easy going story about a hillbilly family. It was about two older aunts who wanted something to become of their lives. They fell in love and finally got married in spite of the insulting comments made about them. The play “Sorry Wrong Number” was an exciting murder mystery in which a man was plotting to kill his invalid wife when she accidentally overheard his conversation on the phone. Unfortunately, she did not know it was her they were plotting to kill, and she ended up dead. The Operators in ‘ Sorry Wrong Number wait for a call as the first operator hooks up a connection.

Theater 11 77 Career Education Study Added Special classes taught by Miss Kim Korth and Mrs. Jackie Dorminy offer a variety of learning experiences, with much emphasis on one-to-one contact between student and teacher. New this year at the high school, Dorminy's major task is to design supplemental material to fit the needs of the individual student. She works with students to help enhance their skills in the regular curriculum. Career education for seniors in Korth’s class was a new unit this year. Students worked with kits in such areas as motor assembly, cosmetology, and sales. Students also took a field trip to observe workers on the job. Students in Korth’s class also did role plays which demonstrated skills needed in everyday living, the work world, and interpersonal relationships. Concentrating on his assignment.

Sophomores participated in sports such as football, basketball, bowling, and ended the year with the physical fitness test. Juniors experienced everything from badminton to a new activity, rugby. “A good aggresive sport,” was Brad Harms' comment toward the newly-added rugby unit. Junior boys and girls learned the rules, the history, and the strategy of the game of rugby, but the boys were the only ones who participated. Miss Laura Tietjen was added to the P.E. staff while Mrs. Karen Hoops took a leave to have her baby. Juniors Jeff Lehr and Terry Parolek jog by in their mile run around the track.

Gazing at an Apple II output, Ric Karlin examines the computer's career suggestions. Browsing through a few pamphlets are Brenda Tarnick, Denise Purchal, and Karla Kuta. 80 Academics Students Benefit Through Guidance Gaining an education is the ultimate goal of a student in high school. The guidance department at Columbus High works with the student body to help them reach this goal. Guidance counselors Roger Goos and Cathy Wibbels are involved in numerous activities aimed at different specific goals. Seniors are aided with educational, vocational, and career plans. Scholarship applications and recommendations are distributed through guidance. This year, guidance worked on a career grant with an Apple II computer working through the Nebraska Career Information System. Counselors worked in conjunction with the sophomore English and modern problems classes to help students gain an idea of what career would best suit them. The students viewed a film and filled out a computer questionnaire. The computer determined what occupation would coordinate with the questionnaire. Juniors took the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and were urged to take the ACT test. This test or the SAT test are required as a prerequisite to entering college. The high school guidance program starts working with students in junior high in February the year before they enter high school. During this time and on into their first year, guidance helps them adjust to high school. A student services committee consisting of the guidance counselors and members of the faculty and administration meet weekly to improve the school and monitor students' progress in school. Working out a schedule is guidance counselor Roger Goos. Assisting Stacey Oakes with a scheduling conflict, guidance counselor Cathy Wibbels discusses alternatives. Guidance 81 Ellis Relates Classes to Real World Relating her class to the real world is what Miss Nancy Ellis, the new journalism teacher at CHS, emphasized in her class this year. This included listening to taped speeches and comparing the major stories written by the CHS newspaper staff to those written by other newspapers and newscasts. Miss Ellis prefered to use techniques that would prepare students for the future. The journalism class enables students to be on the annual or newspaper staff. The class includes learning how to draw up layouts, writing feature stories or news articles, and learning about photography. Since there was a small newspaper staff this year, the journalism class worked on the newspaper, also. They all had beat stories due which were sometimes used in the newspaper. A mistake in scheduling this year meant that the journalism class met the same period as the newspaper staff. They were all in the same room, so the journalism students gained firsthand experience by working on the school newspaper. Miss Ellis enjoyed her first year as the new journalism teacher. She commented, the students had to get used to me and trust me at first. It was the usual building year.” Miss Nancy Ellis walks over to a desk to give one of her students some help. Explaining an assignment to her class is the new Journalism teacher, Miss Nancy Ellis. Steinbrook Earns History Award For most students at CHS some form of social studies was in their schedule due to the increased number of credits needed to graduate. Five semesters, including two semesters of U.S. History, are required. Courses that were offered to students were U.S. History, World Studies, Frontier History, World Religions, Economics, Modern Problems, Sociology, and American Political Behavior. Frontier History - The Mountain Man, an award-winning class taught by Gordon SteinbrooU, was offered to seniors and second semester juniors. Students in Mountain Man learned that the class was more than just a book-learning experience. Students had a chance to live part of this era by reading, writing, researching, constructing, shooting, throwing, and eating part of the mountain mans’ past. Students also had a chance to visit Mr. Steinbrook's cabin, and experience the life of the mountain man's past by throwing a tomahawk and shooting a muzzle-loading rifle. The Mountain Man class was formed last year and has grown this year as it is offered to second semester juniors as well as seniors. Other offered social studies classes informed students about cultures, societies, politics, and events of the past and present times throughout the world. County Government Day students Jim Peterson and Shawn Wagner listen intensely to their instructions during a gathering in the county court house.

They are Miss Mona Schoenrock who teaches Typing I and II, Office Machines, and Record Keeping, Mr. Bill Jackson who teaches Accounting I and II, Mr. Gordon Essink, who teaches Typing II, Shorthand I and II, and Office Occupations, and Mrs. Papstein, who teaches Typing I and Business English. Typing I is a class that reviewed all typing skills taught in junior high. In Typing II students learned what they needed to know to type for a medical, legal, insurance or sales office work. Shorthand is a class that teaches students how to represent sounds they know in a shortened form. Shorthand sharpens the grammatical, spelling, and vocabulary skills. In Office Occupations students learned secretarial skills. The class is actually like working in a business office. Office Machines made use of calculators and transcription machines. They also made use of the new word processor which the school purchased this year. Record Keeping is a general book keeping class that made use of stock inventory cards, sales invoices, and checking accounts. In Accounting students learned how to figure the amount of taxes a business would have to pay to the government. In Business English, the students learned how to write a good business letter. They also learned the correct spelling, punctuation, and mechanics of writing anything in general. 84 Academics Reading from one of her texts is Sharon Jasper.

This year there were students working at The Brass Buckle, K-Mart, and Ernst Olds. Mrs. Uhrig Enjoys CHS Marketing teaches students things they would need to know in order to run a business such as retailing, wholesaling, and inventory. Coming from Kearney State, Mrs. Roberta Uhrig was the new marketing teacher at CHS for 1981-82. There were three classes offered in marketing. They were Marketing I, Marketing II, and Marketing Internship. In Marketing I students learned how to figure their own income tax and how to conduct a market research. This research determines whether a new Business, Marketing 85 Math Offers Practical Knowledge When many people hear the word math, they automatically think “ugh , but it's not always that bad. In a math class students can learn lots of handy little equations. For instance, students in Math III can amaze their friends by showing them how to become a millionare by putting just one dollar in the bank. A calculus student can fascinate friends with the dimensions of a cow pen that will give the most area with the least fence. Math can also lead to in-class discussions such as “How Calculus Weeds Out Future Businessmen (or women, whichever the case may be!)” CHS offers a variety of different math classes, ranging from Basic Math to Computer Programming in Basic, with Algebra I and II, Geometry, Math III and IV, Introduction to Calculus, and Plane Trigonometry in between. Math instructors here are always eager to help, even when a prospective mathematician staggers in at 8:00 in the morning! To those taking any of the math classes that CHS offers, it becomes an “integral” part of their lives. How can it not, when they stay up half the night to finish it?

In biology students dissected a crayfish, a frog, a perch, and a worm. They also did a research paper and took a field trip to Lake Babcock, as well as taking a lot of notes. Chemistry students learned about acids and bases, elements and their properties, and atomic structure. Ecology students wrote a research paper and took a field trip as they learned about pollution and energy sources. In Physics, the students were kept busy with studies in light and wave properties, electricity and radioactivity.

Students have the opportunity to participate in activities and projects to learn more about the environment and cultures concerning the Spanish and German countries. As the students learn more about a language, they participate in more cultural activities and projects. In the second semester, the fourth year Spanish and German students were involved in a weekly project to teach elementary children their foreign language. At the end of their teaching unit, the foreign language classes had a party for the children. In third year Spanish, the students wrote radio programs complete with commercials and exchanged them between classes. Other students made various types of pottery and also played Spanish games. The German students made projects that were part of a German tradition. They blew the yolks out of eggs and painted them in various colors and styles. The eggs could be used for Easter or as a Christmas tree ornament. All the classes had a Christmas party in which they each made Spanish or German foods and had a chance to taste a variety of dishes. Many times the foreign language students will have AFS students speak to their classes or past students will come back and talk about countries they have visited. Rationing the supplies.

In conjunction with the guidance department, the sophomore composition classes were given a chance to write an informative essay over job areas a computer questionnaire determined they would best fit into. English and social studies teachers also participated in a career education workshop to learn more about jobs and job services. “Reflections ”, a book of gathered writings from the Creative Writing class, was put into a hard cover and stored in the library for permanent use. This is done every third year in the class. A new book was added to the elective English course Second Effort. The book “A Shining Season'' turned out to be one of the more popular books of the class. Two new teachers were found in the midst of Columbus High for part of the year. Mr. Don Kaiser replaced Mrs. Roma Amundson for one semester as a German and English teacher while she was on leave.

From their victory over Lincoln High to their season finale appearance in the state play-offs, the small class A school from Columbus, Nebraska showed the state what a little team togetherness could do. With changes in the offense and defense at the beginning of the season, the team accumulated victories over Lincoln High, Kearney, Beatrice, Grand Island, Hastings, Norfolk, South Sioux City and their first state play-off appearance ever, with a win over Lincoln East. Mark Bellum summarized the season with, Team spirit and unity were great all year. Columbus had a successful season because of many factors. One factor was that the opposition found that they could not key on one player since the team played as a whole. Another reason was the changes in offense and defense. They changed from the l-formation to the VEER in offense, and the defense switched to a six-man front with four linemen and two outside linebackers to accent the team s speed and agility. The senior leadership, hard work, and the dedica- It's off! Dan Aerni (10) gives the ball a ride during the Beatrice game. Stretching for another hard day of practice are Steve Struebing, Greg Wilson, Greg Anderson, and Ron Dush. tion of the team and coaching staff played an important role in the team's success. Not all the games were highlighted only by good football. One such game included a personality of the entertainment world. That person was Johnny Carson. He came back to Nebraska to film a television special. While Johnny was home, he cheered on his alma mater, the Norfolk Panthers, but was sent home disappointed as Columbus ousted the Panthers 9-3. During the season, crowd support for the team was great. Despite some cold and wet weather the parents and devoted fans stuck together and cheered the Discoverers on to victory. The Discoverers finished the season ranked fifth in the state with an 8-2 record. Seven players made the Big Ten Team. They were Tom Alt, Mark Bellum, Jay Bullington, Leroy Kruger, Rick Podraza, Van Zwick, and Jeff Becher. Seven players also made the Tran-Nebraska Plains Division Team. They were Tom Alt, Mark Bellum, Jay Bullington, Pat Galley, Larry Jacobs, Van Zwick, and Jeff Becher. 92 Sports The 1981 Discoverer's Football Team includes (first row. left to right) Assistant Coach Jack Young.

Football 95 Team Dedication Creates Success Dedication and determination helped the 1981 CHS volleyball team to a successful season. The team was small in numbers yet very successful this year. Three seniors, five juniors and twelve sophomores made up the varsity and junior varsity teams. The varsity team compiled a 9-8 season record, while the junior varsity compiled a 4-6 season record. Connie Micek was voted most valuable player, while Nancy Sackett, Connie Micek, Lori Thelen, Monica Hull, Renee Rambour, Renee Weisser, Mary Zaster, and Mary Olsufka all lettered this season. One of the many highlights this season was being rated 10th in the state. Nancy Sackett said, “It felt great to be rated. It’s been several years since the volleyball team has been this successful. Even though we were rated, we knew that we couldn’t let the ratings influence our play. We still had to play our hardest if we wanted to continue to win. We beat several teams that were rated above us, so when it comes down to it, the ratings aren't everything; it’s how you play the game. The girls practiced very hard during the week. Their practices concentrated on bumping, setting, spiking, serving, doing figure eights, and a large amount of running. The team had a few goals that they set before the season started. Their main goal was to go to state. They didn’t quite reach that goal but came close. The only team that stopped them was Norfolk, who beat them 9-15 and 4-15 during the finals at districts. They ended up placing second. Several strong points helped guide this year's team to a successful season. Since they were a really close team, they worked well together. Their serving and serve reception was very good. Nancy Sackett led the team with a 98% serving consistency while Lori Thelen had 95% consistency. Connie Micek, Nancy Sackett and Lori Thelen made the Big 10 All-Conference teams. Connie and Lori also made the Trans-Nebraska All-Conference team.

The top six positions consisted totally of juniors and sophomores for a majority of the season. Coach Gary Duranski stated, “I feel that the team gained invaluable experience. This should be a big asset next year.’’ Coach Duranski also felt that there was some good individual success. The Columbus netters compiled a 3-4 dual record. Their performance in the larger meets was better than in their duals. At Trans-Nebraska, which was held in Columbus, they placed third. At Big Ten, they were only one point away from a four-way tie for second place. Instead, they placed fifth. Brad Scheidegger and Marty Sipple led the way to a sixth place finish in the state tournament. Brad added a runner-up finish at State for the second year in a row to his list of accomplishments. Brad placed first at Big Ten and Trans-Nebraska. Trans-Nebraska was an outstanding meet for Brad as he lost only four games out of thirty-six in the first singles position. Marty Sipple managed to make it to the semi-finals of State before he lost a tough match to Kearney at the second singles position. Seven members of the team earned a letter. They were senior Dan Davidchik; juniors Clarey Castner, Mark Grennan, Troy Gaver, and Tim Gay; and sophomores Brad Scheidegger and Marty Sipple. The remainder of the team consisted of junior Shawn Miller, sophomore Kurt Tooley, and freshman Jeff Duranski. Coach Duranski said that this year's team did well by gaining experience and he emphasized as in years past, “The key to next year's success again depends a great deal on how much each person is willing to sacrifice and play in the off-season.

Their dual record was 5-3, which was the best record for the girls since 1976. In fact, the only team Columbus had beaten for the last three years was Stanton. One problem in golf will be remembered by senior high sports participants for a long time. Sarah Selig and Janet Jones lost their eligibility when they played in a Jaycee-sponsored tournament after the school season started. They got the opportunity to play on varsity in four meets through court rulings. Then after Big 10, they lost their court case and were off the team for Districts. The coach of girls’ golf is Bart Bartholemew, whom the girls think of with respect and fatherly affection. When asked what his team high points were Coach Bartholemew replied, “whoever my number one or number two players are in a particular meet. Most of the girls got to play those positions at least once since golf is such a changing game. In golf, there aren’t rivalries like in football. In football, each team is out to overpower the opposition. Golf has a casual atmosphere and it’s a game where the girls make friends. The reason the girls make friends so easily is because in each meet the teams are intermingled. So usually two girls from Columbus will play with two girls from the opposition. The meet the girls enjoyed the most this year was against Aurora and York because they played well that day and defeated both teams. Each year everyone has to work on putting and driving, but one player remarked that she also had to work on her attitude toward the game. If a girl tells herself that she might whiff a shot, then she probably will. Most of the golfers believe that mental attitude is the most important part of the game. “Golf is a game that you can play until you’re ninety,” says Bill Fox, the golf professional at the Elks Country Club. “It will open any door you may approach in your life.

Girls' Golf 101 Harriers Knock at Door to Success We dented the surface of what we wanted to do. We banged at the door, but didn't get it open,” said Coach Ron Callan of the cross country season. He went on to say that the harriers set high goals at the beginning of the season. Their goals, unfortunately, didn’t get met. They weren’t set too high, but problems arose from losing three people the team counted on. The results of the season would seem to put a negative feeling on the memories of the 1981-82 season, but Callan wasn't too dissappointed. He said that everyone improved. They tried to use the run, rock, and roll” theme from last year, but losing the three members put a damper on the week to week competition. They were always wondering who would be hurt or sick next. Remaining members of the team worked extra hard, and looked toward a better season next year. Letter winners were Clint Bach, John Arlt, Fred Esser, Mike Whiting and Jeff Powley.

Cross Country 103 Gutty Team Continues to Improve Continuing its improvement, the 1981-82 boys’ basketball team posted a 9-10 record, the best in recent years. “We were a tremendous second half team,” commented head coach Al Schnabel. “No matter what the score was at halftime, we felt we were always in the ballgame.’’ Crowds received their money’s worth at a Discoverer game. Many of Columbus’ games were one-pointers or demanded overtime finishes. Several of these games were heartaches as the cagers suffered three one-point losses in a row. Coach Schnabel was pleased with the season. He felt that the basketball program was improving well by becoming more competitive and he was optimistic toward the future. The Discoverers beat two out of the three Lincoln teams they played and placed second in the Big Ten Conference for the second year in a row. The Discoverers improved statistically over last year and as the season progressed. They outrebounded their opponents by nearly 300 rebounds as well as outscoring them in the second half substantially. Twelve players received a varsity letter. Two players received All Big Ten and All Trans-Nebraska honors. They were two of the three captains, Jim Tarnick and Jay Bullington. The third tri-captain, Andy Korte, was injured during the crucial part of the season. Jim, Jay, and Todd Moon were named to the All Metro-Columbus first team. Waiting for the ball to drop are Andy Korte, Jay Bullington, and Todd Moon, as Lincoln East defenders can do nothing about the end result.

The record, claims Coach Laura Tietjen, does not demonstrate how well they actually played. The team had a strong senior leadership which accented the sophomore talent. One outstanding senior this year was Lori Thelen. She broke the school scoring record by scoring 31 points against South Sioux. She was also in ail Big Ten Conference for the second consecutive year. Their team's game against Lincoln was probably their toughest, according to Tietjen. She said this because it was their first game together as a team. This was Coach Tietjen's first year coaching. She said she enjoyed the year, the girls she worked with, and being in Columbus. She's also optimistic about next year. She’s a good coach,” said Nancy Skouby. Girls who were awarded letters were Nancy Sackett, Janet Maca, Lori Thelen, Nancy Skouby, Denise Jacobson, Mary Olsulfka, Renee Rambour, and Lauri Brandt, student manager. “The most improtant thing is, said Tietjen, they never gave up.

One team who started sizzling was the 1st Generation. They battled through three opponents to make it into the finals. The teams going down in defeat were MTXE, the Hunters, and the Athletic Supporters. In two of the games they avenged two earlier losses. Another hot team was the High Seven. They only had to go through the Clash and the Kammo-Floshe. In both games the High Seven handled each team easily. In the finals, the game was pretty even until the final half.

For the second year in a row the teams swam together. Eleven girls and eleven guys made up this year's teams. Marcie Herrold and Steve George were voted most valuable swimmers for the year. They were voted most valuable swimmers because they were assets to the team. Mary Dierman and Barry Whitney were voted most improved swimmers because of attitude and their improved times. Weatherford said that he thought the state swim meet was the highlight of the season. “The times were good, and all the kids did their best. Before state Weatherford replied he was scared because it was the first high school team that he coached. Weatherford also stated that it takes a lot of dedication to be a good athlete in any sport. As a swimmer you have to work hard, have a love for the sport, and the ability to hurt yourself 100%. Senior Craig Walgren said, “You have to listen, work hard, and kill yourself in practice, because at the end of the season you can accomplish something. According to Weatherford, in order to be a good swimmer, you have to practice eleven months out of the year, lift lots of weights, and be in the pool four to six hours a day. Practice for swimmers was not easy. Swimmers had to be prepared for morning and afternoon practices. In the mornings hours they expected long distance and middle distance swims. In the afternoon they practiced holding their breath, kicking, pulling over distant swims, and sprints. The girls team had an excellent season going undefeated in duals. The girls finished the season with a 5th place finish at state. The guys season ended their season with a 4-4 record and a 14th place finish at state. Observing the swimmers in the pool as they warm up are Barry Whitney, Hal Weatherford. Chris Lee. and Chris Van Dyke.

Swimming 115 Awesome Matmen Dominate State Dieting, grueling practices, weightlifting, and dedication all add up to winning for the CHS wrestlers. The wrestlers were crowned state champions for the fourth year in a row. This was Coach Charlie Sherertz's third championship since he started coaching at CHS three years ago. Todd Thalken and Tom Woodward ended their wrestling careers at CHS in style, as both were crowned state champs at their individual weight classes. At the start of the wrestling season there were thirty wrestlers out for the team. Due to various problems with lower weight classes several good wrestlers were lost during the season. Sophomore Brian Hitz and junior Eric Abdullah filled in the lower weight classes toward the end of the season. Brian had little varsity experience but qualified just in time for state. To be a good wrestler, an athlete had to participate in grueling practices to help develop mental and physical stamina. To be even more competitive, many wrestlers dieted to wrestle at lower weight classes. One wrestler who had been dedicated to the team through his high school years was Tom Woodward. Tom was voted most valuable wrestler because of his inspiration to future wrestlers. Tom finished the season undefeated after overcoming an injury which kept him off the mat for early duals at the start of the season. Crowds are very important to all sports. The wrestlers experienced good support. The wrestling team likes the support Columbus gives them, because it helps the wrestlers if they know people are out in the bleachers cheering them on. Sherertz said that he wished more people would participate from the bleachers and get involved in the team. One record was set when Fremont came to town. The win was topped with a point total of 53 to 1, and a record of fourty-two consecutive dual wins. Fremont lost a point due to unsportsmanlike conduct.

This year many meets were hampered by the weather. The dual against York and the Grand Island Invite was canceled due to the bad weather making the girls’ season that much shorter.

Coach Bartholomew, who coaches both boys' and girls’ golf, was pleased with his young team’s output. Boys' golf differs somewhat from girls’ golf. In girls’ golf there is a more casual atmosphere where in boys’ golf the team wants to be very competitive. Karl Dierman, the team’s only senior, led the golfers by placing sixth at the Big Ten Tournament, eighth at Districts, eighth at the Beatrice Invite, tenth at the Grand Island Invite, and receiving the first place medal at the Trans-Nebraska Tournament.

Mr. Duranski replaced Mrs. Dorothy Courtier who was the girls coach before. Coach Duranski said the girls weren’t as good as they could’ve been if they would've practiced during the off-season, and he compared them to the boys’ tennis team which he also coaches. Duranski said the boys had one main advantage over the girls. The girls season is in the spring instead of in the fall. The spring had so many cold or rainy days this year that some days practice had to be stopped altogether. According to Duranski, the team’s strength had to be doubles partners Connie Micek and Kathy Kraenow. Duranski said they were two of his best players and he could count on them to lead the team. Twenty-five girls started out at the beginning of the season, but only fourteen of them stuck it out. Six varsity positions were filled by seven of the girls. They were Connie Micek, Kathy Kraenow, Nancy Sackett, Suzanne Mares. Sarah Selig, Becky French, and Mary Olsufka. The best meet for the team was Big Ten. The girls tied for third place, which was their highest place finish all year. Duranski said the entire team played well and put on a good show. Connie Micek and Becky French teamed up to play number two doubles to take the gold. Backstroking with grace. Connie Micek returns a baseline shot.

Spirit, a winning team, and a changed date were unique characteristics of this year s homecoming. Spirit week started out rather ordinary with Sweats Day on Monday, but the following days were filled with craziness. Anything from punk rock glasses or bermuda shorts to cowboy hats, boots, or sandles could be seen in the halls throughout various spirit days. On Friday the school was decked with the colors maroon and white in preparation for the homecoming game. With a 3-1 record the Discoverer fans were anticipating another win. People were actually showing up to see an outstanding football showdown against Grand Island as well as the crowning of a king and queen. Homecoming was originally set on October 23 during the halftime of the Columbus-Norfolk game, but the National Broadcasting Corporation had planned to do a special on Johnny Carson. This interfered with homecoming, so the date was changed to October 9. With a 17-14 Discoverers lead at the half, the homecoming ceremonies began. Last year’s King and Queen, Gary Podraza and Heidi Sloth crowned the new royalty. King Bill Puckett and Queen Karen Miller were chosen to reign over the homecoming festivities for 1981. Midway through the third quarter of the game Jack Ewert's ankle was broken and he was taken to the hospital. Student Manager Andy War-necke summed up the finish of the game best with, “The game continued with no scoring but with dedication to win for Jack! Following the festivities at the game, there was a dance held at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Couples danced to the music of “Special Edition”. Punk rock day brought out all kinds of outfits.

The dance was held in the lunchroom from 9:30 to 12:00 following a Discoverer basketball victory over South Sioux City. Homebrew” was the band featured at the student council sponsored event. As in winter dances in years past, Winter Royalty was not as heavily attended as other formal dances. School sports activities inhibited the number of students that were able to attend the dance. Coronation ceremonies for the king and queen were held during a break in the middle of the dance. Crowned royalty were King Andy Korte and Queen Kelly Lovci. Queen candidates included Karin Bennett, Melinda Kucera, Kelly Lovci, Lori Ott, Nancy Sackett, and Diane Wunderlich.

The theme for prom was Don’t Stop Believing, which was a popular song by the group Journey in 1981. Almost three-hundred people attended prom this year, which was held in the girls gym. The band that played at prom was Jetstream . Stephanie Weber commented, They were a very good band and I really enjoyed dancing to their music. Jetstream sang popular songs that other groups made successful. Whenever they played a song, many students commented that they sounded like that particular group that sings the song. Mr. Patton said, The prom decorations were great and everyone was well-behaved at the dance. I was very proud. Mr. Patton said students that should be acknowledged for putting the most time in decorating were Clarey Castner, Dave Loseke, Billie Goedekon, Chet Hahn, Gary Kuta. Jean Alt, Cherie Bartee. and Chris Lee. In charge of prom decorations was Miss Detlefsen. Patton also commented that they were a success because of her. This year parents and administrators planned a post prom party at the Columbus Family Y. They wanted to do something special for the students and show them it was possible to have a good time without drinking. The staff was ecstatic when over three-hundred kids came to the party, because they had expected fewer to show up. At the party the students could play carnival games, racquetball, tennis, basketball, volleyball, run the track, dance to a live band or play free video games. Barnie's Pizza, Pizza Hut, Valentino's Pizza, and Godfather's Pizza each contributed ten pizzas. Parents paid for a pancake and sausage breakfast that was served by the Rotary Club at 4:00 a.m. Area businesses contributed valuable door-prizes that were given away to the students at random. The party ended at 6:00 a.m. YOU ARE NOW ENTERING THE MOST REMARKABLE Before entering the dance, students got their first glimpse of the 1982 Prom theme, Don't Stop Believing.''

Graduation 143 Art Show Provides Entertainment The Columbus High art students had a show of talent as they displayed their work in an art show on May 6. Various types of art work were displayed ranging from pottery, printmaking, drawings, paintings, and commercial art, along with various types of other work. The featured artists in the show were the seniors. They set up their own art work together in individual displays. Most of the individual displays consisted of drawings, paintings, water colors, and pastels. Looking over the art show, Mrs. Mary Ann Fleischacker admires the sculptures. Assisting Gina Bailey with hanging art work is art instructor Miss Jean Detlefsen. Admiring two of the many paintings, Greg Hadcock and Dave Kosch seem to be having a good time. As they look over one of the senior displays, Jeff Lehr and Terry Parolek concentrate on what they see. 144 Activities As Tim Zoucha hangs a picture, Connie Burrell and Tim have a good laugh.

Art Show 145 by Tim Zoucha The Ghetto In the dark ghetto violence is king, killing and shooting, wounding and hurting. Blood Thirst As the ebony night begins to shine with the light of the full moon, an evil stirs within man's soul, In the dark ghetto mystery is queen, nothing ever heard, nothing ever seen. His barbaric past begins to swell in his heart and his thirst for blood and violence overwhelms him. In the dark ghetto night is the crown, everything evil in this secretive town. Terrell Mackey His ancient past begins to control his senses and he runs rampant through the night to satisfy his desires. Van Zwick The Grown-Up Dream Visions of colors encircle my eyes as I watch a small child who helplessly tries dressing to look so mature and adult, keeping a dress on with pins and a belt. Quickly she slips into hose and high heels, wondering endlessly how teenagers feel. Struggling desperately to put on a wig, she trips over her toes cause the shoes are so big.' Absorbed in her fantasy beyond control, her dreams are planted far beneath her soul. Excitedly she rushes towards a mirror and makup and carelessly covers her childish face up. She reaches for the lipstick to frost the cake, as I enter the room not a sound does she make. I've planned a speech and a way to stop her, but my discipline methods are lost in her laughter, Gina Bailey She Had No Blood Upon walking into the autopsy lab, I saw she had no blood. I knew her well ... yet not at all. How could she laugh and cry, but have nothing but broken glass and jigsaw puzzles run through her veins? Ron Paprocki 146 Activities By Shawn Mueller by Tim Zoucha Tim Zoucha Before You Before you came I was hallow inside. Now that you’re here, my rooms are filled with joy and hope. Before you came I was words without a song. Now that you're here, I can’t stop singing! Before you came I was a black and white sketch. Now that you're here, my true color shines through. Before you came I had rainy days. Now that you’re here, the rainbows shine through. Before you came, I was shy and afraid. Now that you’re here, I am bold and carefree. Before you came, I could only dream of what love is. Now that you're here, I know how wonderful love is. Because love is you. Heather Jenny The Doom Of Xycanth As the morning dew glistened on the green grass the thunder of galloping hooves vibrated through the valley. The crisp air of dawn was soon filled with the dust that escaped from beneath the pounding of the barbaric raiders. The raiders were quickly seen riding high on their mammoth steeds with the rising sun glinting off their armor of war. The people of Xycanth quickly fled to hide. but in their hearts they knew there was no escape. Nothing could stop them, these ruthless men of slaughter. The raiders of the valley were known to show no mercy. The riders of the beasts were soon in the village, their mighty steel falling on all that moved. The end was near. Their deaths were certain, for the raiders were upon them and all knew it was to be, the doom of Xycanth. Van Zwick The Best One picture after another, the media is mixed. His hand is steady and his eyes are red and half opened. The time of day is not present for his work envelopes all. He has proven his destiny and it is very clear: to make people wonder, expand their imaginations. So while standing beside his own picture he'll hear the comment, “Whoa! Look at this. Who in his right mind could have done this?” And then and only then will his life’s dream be fulfilled. He thinks not of himself but of the people who are to see his work. And he wonders what would catch their attention. He knows that his paintings flow with an array of colors. His sketches are near masterpieces. Awards flow into the mail at his home, but that is not his care. Although he is grateful for his special talents he does not know who to thank. For he does not believe in Adam and Eve nor the Jesus of Nazareth, but in Time, Space, and Dimension. And he’s my Best Friend. William Puckett V by Dale Shepherd 147 Charmin Mr. Wipple, what have you done? The ladies they have finally won. They took over while you were away And now the or shop is happy and gay. The toilet paper is hung from the front to the back. Not a color is missing red, blue, and black. The women are happy, now don't think it’s a sin. They come in all day to squeeze the Charmin. Poor Mr. Wipple, I know how you feel. My heart is not made of steel. So start a new store of which you can be proud And only have on sale the paper White Cloud. Sharon Jasper The Big Oak It happened to me one fine spring day when I thought my cat had run away. I looked up in the big oak tree and my little kitten was staring at me. I called and called to get him down, but he just looked, meowed, and frowned. So then I figured it was up to me to get poor Isaac out of the tree. There wasn’t much trouble getting him free but look what happened to me. So I’m hanging on this big oak tree, hoping someone will notice and help me. Todd Moon A Little Something to Remember We can believe that around every corner there is a shadow, a shadow split into two equal parts, one representing evil, disgust, and bitterness, but on the other side is a rainbow of colors and bright hope for a long and prosperous life. Such is the side that some of us don't get to see. William Puckett 148 Activities Mom Quiet moments spent together. I don’t remember a time such better. Discussing plans and things to do. No one understands me just like you. Always there to listen close. You ask me questions but answer most. Always willing to lend a hand, Giving me all the time you can. Worrying about me late at night, But if you didn’t, it wouldn't be right. Being the sister I never had, Having to punish me for being bad. Learning a language all its own, Making something special out of our home. Mom. you’ve done these things for me, It’s taken till now to really see. I hope we remain close throughout our lives And never forget our loving ties. Gina Bailey For He Thought All Was His Friend A man stood at dusk in the center of the burning desert, not knowing why he was there. or how he'd gotten there. Though he thought all was his friend, he found ohe that was not. This creature circling above his head getting closer and closer, closing in on him as if he were to attack. Should he run? Would he have a chance? This creature is waiting to use his flesh as his meal, for soon he would not have to worry about brotherhood. Caroline Kush by Karin Bennett by Dale Shepherd Disguises Talking to the frogs the teachers said in fun, “We’ll study tomorrow ‘neath the golden sun.” A few thought him crazy. A few thought him mean. Some thought him the weirdest that they’d ever seen. But frogs have something admirable, a loyalness beyond belief. They followed their instructor who gave a sigh of relief. He marched them far into the field, never heeding their woes. They took the longest path and went as far as it goes. Then something dreadful happened. The survivors still have dreams of the way their teacher deceived them far away from their streams. He had taken off his outfit and to their surprise they found he was a duck under that froggy disguise. But the joke was on the duck who’d dressed up like a frog, for the other frogs wore disguises too but theirs was a dog. Sharon Jasper Creative Writing and Art 149 “Two by Two” Proves Challenging Two by Two was the name of the 1981 CHS Musical, a Rogers and Hammerstein production, which starred Danny Kaye as Noah, on Broadway. The play was performed two nights, on November 13th at the high school auditorium, and then at the Holiday Inn on November 14th. The Theater I classes were responsible for building the set, with Miss Ruth Schlobohm’s direction. They had to come up with a set that would look good on both stages, keeping in mind the limited space and the need for easy transferability. One major part of the set was a hut constructed of wood and covered with macrame jute for the walls and roof. The students transported their own lighting to the Holiday Inn in the form of light trees. For the auditions for the play, each student chose two to three songs from the singing parts and performed them in front of the other auditioning students. Deciding factors for receiving a part were motor range, along with music range, and if the student could CAST Noah ............................ Nathan Smith Esther ..............................

No auditions for the musicians were held. They were just willing students who showed interest in playing when asked. Mr. Boyd Bacon was in charge of the musical areas of the play. He felt that they did really well on the music. Bacon said, Show music is really hard to play. The keys are very difficult. Many musicians would rather play in flats, but there are many sharps in the music for the play.” Some people may wonder what the benefits are of being involved in theatre. Miss Schlobohm feels that it gives the student self confidence when they are put under pressure it helps them to perform well. If the students are really interested and want to pursue acting, they can go into the community theater or the professional end of it. What might be most important for the average student is that when they become an audience member they appreciate the production more. Noah (Nathan Smith) tells Japheth (Jay Augustin) that it's time he got a wife, while Ham (Dennis Launderville) listens in. Ham (Dennis Launderville) crouches inside the hut waiting to catch Goldie (Mickie Senften). Japheth (Jay Augustin) comtemplates whether or not to go on the ark. while his mother Esther (Liz Lauz) looks on with concern. Rachel (Cathy Lococo). Ham (Dennis Launderville).

Mary Wong (Cindy Hansen), Betsy Wong (Marilee Meissner), and Shirley Wong (Marilyn Kucera). An active ghost, no school suspensions, and a familiar play theme were all characteristics of the all-school theatrical production GET SMART. It was adapted by Chistopher Sergei from the series originally created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. It was presented to the public on March 13 and 14. Thirty people made the two-act play a success. The setting was present day Washington D.C. Kaos, the organization of evil, tried to steal a new invention, the Inthermo, and use it for evil. They brought in Mr. Big, the head of Kaos, and through a series of kidnappings and supposed kidnappings, they came into possession of it. Maxwell Smart, finally realizing that the head of Control’s trusted secretary was a double agent, tricked Mr. Big into blowing himself up. The forces of darkness had once more been foiled in their attempt to extinguish the bright torch of liberty. This was the first year that the ghost really hit. Director Ruth Schlobohm explained that because of stories in the newspaper, people blamed little incidents on the ghost.

Members helped sixth graders to understand and perform pantomime for a show for their parents and friends. The kids also learned how to put on the makeup for the performance. The Thespians that helped with the workshop were Andy Martin, Diane Wunderlich, Liz Laux, Nathan Smith, Tony Robak, Shelia Schultz, Mickie Senften. Rhonda Shipley, and Brian Edwards. The requirements for becoming a Thespian are not easy. You must participate in two full length plays and work in five of eight areas of the theater: acting, costume, makeup, set construction, lighting, sound and special effects, student directing, and publicity. After completing these requirements, the new members have the option of going through initiation. Most of the members do. The initiation consists of clown day in which new members must dress as a clown, crawl day in which members have to crawl in the presence of a Thespian, and mime and make up day in which the members wear makeup all day and can't talk between classes. One day the initiators picked up the new members at six a.m. for a breakfast at Mickie Senften s house and then had to wear robes all day. On the last day, new members passed out candy to Thespians when they saw them. Becoming a Thespian is hard work and Miss Schlobohm, sponsor, said It's an honor to belong to Thespians. They don’t have to work hard to stay in; they already worked to get in. Dressed in night cap and robe as she undergoes Thespian initiation, Stephanie Weber raises her hand to answer a question.

AFS sends students abroad to learn about different people and the traditions and cultures they live in. To get involved, a student must contact the local AFS president and fill out an application. The student then attends three interviews before being accepted. To be accepted to travel abroad is an honor. The student must have good intellect, good morals, and be able to get along with people. Three CHS students were involved in AFS last year. Sharon Jasper spent her junior year in Peru. She lived with a host family in Peru and learned much about the Spanish-speaking country. Diane Wunderlich spent last summer in Germany. Diane said, “One of the best IS things about Germany was the food.” Lori Ott spent her summer with a family in Bolivia and learned more about the culture there. For the summer of ‘82, Colleen Goering has been selected to live in a Spanish speaking country. An AFSer from Ecuador also attended CHS this year. Ricardo Ayala lived with the Ben Powley family while attending CHS his senior year. The student council gave Ricardo a class ring and also paid for his school lunches. Although you don't have to be in a foreign language to be in AFS, the foreign language classes are closely involved with AFS and help AFS students to get adjusted to Columbus High.

Leadership was something that everyone in DECA learned in competitions this year. CHS DECA members were the hosts for the district conference, which was held in February. Blair, South Sioux City, Fremont, and Norfolk attended the conference. At conference students had a chance to have fun and learn about a field of marketing that they were interested in, possibly as a career. They then competed against people in that field. Gary Wiese was a finalist in Service Stations at the state competition. Cathy Scott received third place at districts in General Merchandise. Other activities that DECA members were involved in were working at the concession stand at football games, and sponsoring the Walk-America walk-a-thon for the March of Dimes. DECA raised around eight hundred dollars for the March of Dimes. At the end of the year DECA members along with Mrs. Uhrig had an end of the year party at Lake North where they water skied, played softball, and volleyball. Officers for the year were Kathy Blank, president; Bob Harding, vice president, Cathy Scott, secretary; and Stephine Weber; reporter. DECA members have a discussion while they enjoy their pizza.

DECA 157 Unique Personnel Sets Staff Apart Split periods, a convocation, and unique personnel are what made the 1981-82 annual staff different from any other. Although the staff did the usual layouts, story writing and typing, the staff also did some strange and unusual activiites. To kick off the year, the annual staff held a convocation to promote the sales of annuals. A slide show of the year's already accomplished events was shown as well as a dance routine to the song, “Private Eyes”. A lot of students don't really know what goes on in the annual room. Aside from the usual confusion, the staff actually gets work done. Two of the staffers had scheduling problems and therefore had to work more or less on their own. Because they couldn't work when annual class met, communication was often lost and they were left on their own to work independently. Most of the staff was inexperienced, but all seemed to catch on quickly. Last minute preparations seemed to be a trend with the staff. Through some confusion, the annual was finished to finally find it’s place in your hands. Together with the newspaper staff, the annual staff had a Christmas party at Karin Bennett’s house. They played games for prizes and ate snacks of cookies, chips, and candy. At the end of the year, both staffs had a potluck picnic at Pawnee Park where next year’s staffs were named. Besides eating dinner, the staffers also had a softball game and a few people got a little wet. Weary from a hard day's work, Shelly Fowler can only keep her eyes half open. Hard at work, Dan Davidchik concentrates on his layout. As they write their stories. Andy Warnecke seems to have something important to say to Suzanne Wunderlich.

Here Chris Small plays racketball. 160 Activities Novice Photo Staff Learns Quickly Starting with a fresh round of photographers this year caused some problems. First of all, they needed to be taught. The annual staff hired Gary Anderson, from Anderson Studios to teach picture composition and darkroom techniques to about four students. The novice photographers worked hard and learned quickly, although they still made frequent mistakes and found themselves retaking pictures. Second semester some photographers were lost due to busy schedules, but other interested people joined. Students who served as photographers this year included Brian Edwards. Mike Freeman. Ric Karlin, Judy Kriefels, Chris Small. Dan Staack, and Craig Walgren. Shadowy figures can be produced by overexposing a print in the darkroom. Focusing the camera is Ric Karlin. Getting the camera ready for another picture is a startled Judy Kreifels. Photography 161 Discoverer Layout Wins First Place Deadlines, pounding typewriters (with fingers and fists), exchange papers, editorials ... all this and more were a part of the 1981-82 Discoverer staff, lead by advisor, Nancy Ellis. Starting with only three full time staffers, it took a lot of work (and a lot of help from the small but dedicated Journalism I class) to put out issue after issue of quality newspapers. The staff increased to nine in the second semester, making that job a little easier. The hard-working staff got a taste of big-league journalism by covering such stories as Vice-President George Bush's visit to Nebraska and Johnny Carson when he appeared in Columbus. The staff always managed to have a little fun in between putting together issues of the paper, whether it be making bad jokes about the Huey Lewis and the News poster in Miss Ellis’ room, rude comments about Amy Zywiec's friends in Omaha, or indis-criminatey tossing various items out of the production room window. Dedication paid off in numerous awards. The paper earned a first place rating which in the American Scholastic Press Association judged, as well as a best first page award for its Dec. 9 issue. Cartoonist Linda Nettland was preliminary winner in the Nebraska High School Press Association Journalism Championships. Is it time to register?

The marching season started with a bang earning top honors at the Norfolk and Columbus Days contests. However, difficulty in learning a new routine caused its rating to drop at the Wisner-Pilger contest. The band then performed its best at the final contest of the season at Pershing Auditorium in Lincoln, only to earn what many band members felt was an unjustified rating. The band also performed many halftime shows for CHS football fans. The band’s greatest success happened during the CHS-Norfolk football game at which “Tonight Show host and Nebraska native Johnny Carson celebrated his birthday. The event was nationally broadcast on NBC in a TV special, “Johnny Comes Home . Several band members appeared in film clips. Band members also earned awards in the District Music Contest held at Platte College. Solos by Judy Kriefels, Shelly Fowler, Alan Ferris, Melinda Kucera, and Kelly Lovci earned superior ratings, as well as the saxophone ensemble, consisting of Judy Kriefels, Karin Bennett, Shelley Fulton, Sarah Selig, and Shelly Fowler. Once again sophomore representative Jay Augustin is not at a loss for words. Marching in the Columbus Days Competition is the CHS Marching Band.

Band 165 Spirited Jazz Band Has Busy Year The 1981-82 school year has proven to be a busy one for the CHS Jazz Band. The band attended various contests and festivals along with giving concerts for fans at home. The jazz band started out the year by playing for the North Central Evaluation Team welcome dinner held in the cafeteria. They also played for the annual Band Boosters Chili Feed held at the high school before a varsity basketball game. Among the festivals attended were the Seward Jazz Festival, the Midlands Jazz Festival at Fremont, and the Districts Music Contest at Platte College, in which they received a superior rating. The songs that were performed for the contests were popular rock tunes with a touch of jazz. The band opened with the upbeat “Council Grove Groove by Sammy Nestico. Soloists were Shelly Fowler on tenor sax, Melinda Kucera on Alto Sax, and Sharing a solo is Shelly Fowler and Melinda Kucera in ' Council Grove Groove. Performing a solo at a jazz concert is Karin Bennett in ' Don’t Get Around Much Anymore.” Standing for their featured part in the swing choir jazz band show is the saxophone section. Decked out in tie and ruffle, the iazz band plays for the North Central Evaluation Team welcome dinner. 166 Darrell Freeman on trumpet. The feature song was 'Looking' Back by Lenny Niehaus. This was a jazzy tune with the feel of the 1940’s. Featured soloists was Shelly Fowler. It was then back to rock with “Forbidden Love Fire in your Heart by Michaele L. P. Sebastian. Featured soloist Bruce Zimmerman on bongos was well-received by the audience on this fast-paced song. The swing choirs and jazz band got together to put on a jazz show in the high school auditorium. The band, along with all the vocal and instrumental and vocal groups, played in the Pops Concert on May 6. The jazz band has been an important part in spirit, too. They played pep tunes at all home basketball games an pep rallies. The band also played at Frankfort Square for an end of the year concert. Casually waiting to perform at a pep rally, the jazz band seems to have their minds elsewhere. After a long night of conducting, Mr. Bailey doesn't seem interested in the action anymore.

Jazz Band 167 Choirs Sing Pop and Latin Music Different types of music ranging from Latin melodies to popular music were performed by the choirs at Columbus High. The mixed chorus and girls glee performed at the Christmas Cantata with a faculty brass quartet accompaniment. The choirs performed Latin Christmas tunes as well as a sing-a-long of popular carols with the audience. The mixed chorus also performed a spring concert at the Peace Lutheran Church. They sang hymns in Latin and English. The District Music Contest at Platte College was a good one for the mixed chorus as they received a superior rating. A new group, the Barber Shop Quartet, also received a superior rating and was well received by the audience. Choir instructor Boyd Bacon said, “The mixed chorus was a good group. They accomplished quite a bit. The girls glee was another active group. They also attended the District Music Contest as well as performing additional concerts at the Columbus Manor and Heritage House Estates. All of the choirs and swing choirs performed popular tunes at the Spring Pops Concert on May 6. Much was accomplished by this year's mixed chorus. Many members auditioned for and were selected for honor choirs around the state. Participating in All-State Honor Choir were Nathan Smith, Cathy Lococo, Mickie Senften, and Liz Laux. Dennis Launder-ville, Nathan Smith, Beth Theilen, Cathy Lococo, Mickie Senften, and Jay Augustin attended Weslyan Honor Choir and attending the Hastings Honor Choir were Dennis Launderville, Cathy Lococo, and Nathan Smith. Before they go on stage, these guys have a little fun with the camera. Pictured here are (left to right) Nathan Smith, Jay Augustin, Terry Krepel, Doug Pennington, and Dennis Launderville.

Choirs 169 New World Premiers Bacon’s Ballad ‘‘It's hard work, and you have to be dedicated,'' says one Sizzlin' Sisters member. But it pays off when you perform, and they love you.” The two swing choirs, New World Singers, which is mixed, and Sizzlin' Sisters, which is only girls, found out what it means to work. The New World Singers had one of their smallest groups this year, with only six couples. One member moved, and another dropped out of school, and two sophomores took their places. This was the first year sophomores were able to join New World, and because it worked out well, Director Boyd Bacon said he would allow up-coming sophomores to try out. Their highlighted songs were Sweet Georgia Brown, “Swingin’ Dry Bones, “Let the Sunshine In,” and a premier of Bacon's new song, We Need to Sing a Ballad.” The Sizzlin' Sisters group was very popular this year, with sixteen energetic girls. They met after school, which caused some attendance problems, but the songs and routines were quickly learned. They sang Selections From the Wiz, Finding Me Some Love,” Bye Bye Blues,” and sang in four part Barbershop style of the song Give My Regards to Broadway.” Both groups went to Districts and received twos. They also went to the Midlands Jazz Festival at Fremont, along with the Jazz Band. They performed in the Pops Concert May 6, which was inside again this year, due to the weather.

A tug-of-war, decorating the garbage can in the parking lots, car bash, spirit week, Winter Royalty, and a toga dance were just a few activities that helped keep the council busy first semester. First semester officers were Diane Wunderlich, President; Karin Bennett, Vice-president; Susan Fendrick, Secretary, and Chris Lee, Treasurer. Eric Abdullah, Mickie Senften, Lori Schreiber, and Chris Lee were second semester officers. Second semester activities included a bake sale, t-shirts and valentine sales, Honors Night, marque posting, renting closet space at basketball games, and a Norfolk exchange with their student council. Anything Goes Day was also held second semester with students and teachers being let out of classes on April 19th to join in on an afternoon of fun and games in honor of Columbus’ 125th birthday. The council was also involved in several conventions throughout the year. At state convention Mickie Senften was named State Secretary, while the CHS council was selected to host next year’s state convention. President Eric Abdullah uses his gavel to get the meeting in order. Getting set for the tricycle races are Teresa Kyster and Dan Aerni.

Not pictured is Lisa Drozd. 174 Activities Pep Club Keeps CHS Spirit Going Spirit, pep, and enthusiasm is what pep club is all about. Although pep club is most famous for its yelling and cheering at various sporting events, they are also involved in doing other activities that help promote school spirit. With the help of pep club sponsors Miss Korth and Miss Schoenrock, the pep club promoted the yearly Spirit Week which is held the week before Homecoming. Each day students dress up according to the specified theme. On Thursday was the traditional Homecoming parade followed by a pep rally at Frankfort Square. Pep club also sponsored activities within their group. They had a Christmas pizza party at Godfather's and the annual end of the year banquet at Johnnies in which they elected new officers and cheerleaders. Money raising projects were few this year. The pep club sold strawberry shortcake items sponsored by American Fundraisers. They also sold concessions at home football and basketball games and at the Big Ten wrestling tournament. Once again, an important part of any pep club is the cheerleaders. The best thing about being a cheerleader, said Teresa Kyster, varsity co-head cheerleader, is being able to support your school. During the summer, the varsity cheerleaders were preparing for the fall school year by attending the ASCC All-Star Cheerleading Clinic in Lincoln. They received a first place ribbon in the overall with a high score of 97’ 2 out of 100 points. Cheering at games and meets is a large part of a cheerleader's duty. Jo Micek, varsity co-head cheerleader, exclaimed, We even got asked by the Creighton Prep basketball team to cheer for them at Districts! The Wrestling chantleaders have a different responsibility since they not only cheer for the team, but for individuals as well. Cheering is hard work, like Teresa Kyster said, It takes a lot of time even though you may not realize it. To summarize a year of pep club would be difficult, but Jo and Teresa agree that “It's fun and interesting in many different ways. Pep and enthusiasm are apparent in these girls as they cheer for the team at a home football game. Keeping her face warm. Jody Stone along with Nikki Liebschwager await the start of the Columbus-Norfolk football game.

C-Club is a group of CHS letter winners from their respective sports who participate in activities to make the year more enjoyable. During the year C-Club sponsored two dances, one in the fall, a western dance and one in the spring, the Spring Royalty dance. To help pay for these dances they sold sweaters, jackets and popcorn packaged in decorative tins. Some of this money also went for a trip to Kansas City to go see the Kansas City Chiefs play the Houston Oilers at Arrowhead Stadium. Near the end of the year C-Club had a picnic in honor of the coaches. At the end of the year C-Club voted on a male and a female athlete of the year. This year's winners were announced at Honors Night. They were LeRoy Krueger and Lori Thelen. Congratulating Mary Zastera on a good shot is Lori Thelen.

The students involved in this organization make their own products, sell them, and use that money to buy supplies for new products. This year students made a gum ball machine. They were paid forty cents an hour just to make the machines and then they made an additional eighty-seven cents commission on each one they sold. In Columbus there are two Junior Achievements chapters. One of them is sponsored by Fleischer Drug and the other is sponsored by Bectin Dickinson. They compete against each other in sales. The students also compete against each other in individual sales. Whoever sells the most gets the Blue Chip Award. This award is exactly how it sounds; it is a blue poker chip on a wooden plaque. People in JA also made home interior items like plaques for hanging on the wall priced between nine and ten dollars. JA is held in the Family Planning Center with the BD group meeting on Monday and the Fleischer Drug group on Wednesday. Junior Achievement is a nationwide organization. It's a thirty week program that involves the students making two different projects in this time. Just like a job, if a person missed three weeks of JA without calling in sick, he would be fired. Five members of Junior Achievement are (left to right) Barb Jarecki. Teresa Brailey. Terrell Mackey. Deb Staroscik, and Debbie Cudaback. Looking over her figures is Jan Kinzer. Working with Jan is a student from another school. This year Junior Achievement made gum ball machines. Purchasing one from Candi Kirk is Miss Susan Lamphiear.

Each person grew in one way or another by experiencing a new feeling or completing an untried task. For the seniors, May 16 brought graduation at Pawnee Park. It opened a new chapter in their lives. For the juniors and sophomores, high school was still an event they would partake in. The 1981-82 school year gradually took its place in the past. It was a learning year, just like any year ... but a special year for those who lived it. CHS crewmen trailed the percussion section all around the field while filming ‘ Johnny Comes Home.’’ Wondering ... Bob Brandt takes time to rest and relax in Commons.

Snow-Zywiec 191 This page is definitely an editor’s favorite. It signifies the completion of one enormous task by a handful of dedicated staff members, photographers, friends, relatives, photographic studios, and newspaper staffers. This yearbook hopefully includes best of the 1981-82 school year collected for anyone and everyone. Many, many thank yous go to my small, mild-mannered staff of Shelly Fowler, Karin Bennett, Susanne Wunderlich, Robin Rousek, and Andy Warnecke as well as photographers Chris Small and Ric Karlin. Each and every one of these people hung in there for the whole year. Advisor Miss Susan Lamphiear deserves thanks for her organization and general tolerance of staff antics. First semester staff members Bonnie Farrell and Billie Goedeken should be recognized for aiding in the annual convocation, sales, and early pages. Thanks also go to first semester photographers Brian Edwards, Mike Freeman, Judy Kriefels. Second semester photographers Craig Walgren and Dan Staack are appreciated for helping out in a bind. Craig’s jeep should be recognized for covering many “school miles on his photographic journeys. Other thank yous go to unofficial staff members Michelle Zoucha, Lori Ott, and Terry Krepel. Michelle and Terry helped out with lay-out and stories while Lori designed the cover and division page script as well as aiding with various other little odd jobs. Work by Chris Bleacher, Amy Zywiec, and Mickie Behrens is also appreciated. Anderson, Faul, Frieze, and Senior Studios made handling senior pictures much easier by sending them to the school. Gary Anderson deserves special thanks for instructing CHS photographers. The Columbus Telegram should be recognized for its photos appearing on the World Events pages and the graduation pages. Thanks go to all of these people and organizations. Mr. Mike Diffenderfer, our Wals-worth Publishing Company representative is deeply appreciated for his assistance. Most important is the group of people who purchased this book. Those of us who worked on the 1982 yearbook thank you the students, faculty, and businesses of the community for making that investment. We hope that it will remind you of the school year as it was. ayriad? Editor 192 Acknowledgements
