THE VOYAGE Columbus Senior High School 2200 26th Street Columbus, Nebr. 68601 The question that will be asked by many is,- Why WHAM? WHAM originated from the look of an explosion. We wanted to hit you with something you've never seen be- fore. We wanted something unique, colorful and fun. We also wanted something you'd be proud of and never forget. What we wanted was a WHAM! and that excitement be- gins here ... 2 Opening I 3 Academics Art.......m....... Yearbook.......... Theater .......... Health............ Foreign Language .

Is it going to Burger King, listening to the latest tunes or is it shopping at a favorite clothing store? Student life can be whatever you make it. Every student has his own definition of what student life is. To find out what students liked, the yearbook staff distributed a survey in most English classes. Questions pertained to the students' favorite hangouts, foods and tunes. Also added to the survey was the preference for class songs and class colors. For the seniors, we used the color they chose as the background in the portrait section. Each song has its own meaning and definition to the class that chose the songs. The survey that was done showed what each class as well as the student body does to create a “WHAM! .

Students 9 Art, writing noted pa Something happened to me in this year of 87, something that will affect me and stay with me 'til my last day. The loss of a loved one sounds like a preacher and doesn't seem to have the full effect, until it is yourself that is experiencing the situ- ation. Someone you've lived with and obeyed all your life, and looked up to in every situation. When you go on a trip he's the person you miss, when you need help with a problem he's the per- son you go to for reference....! got a phone call the other day, they asked if my father was Home, I said.. 'Yes ...and silently hung up the phone. by Pat Becher Tree The tree was strong and very mighty as was its shadow upon the dirt. When rain was scarce the tree would mumble. “Oh great sky please save my thirsty bark. The sky would answer with a storm to turn the dirt and dust to mud. Today the tree's shadow I cannot see for a lumber- jack came to fulfill his dream. The tree I miss most everyday and now I have only one thing to say. I miss you tree! by Jill Siekmeier It's In There Somewhere I cannot find my poem with papers strewn around. Where is that piece of paper on which my assignment can be found? I slipped it into my notebook, into that messed up stack. Now my notebook's got it and will not give it back. So if you really want it, to find it will take all day. Or if you're in a hurry — forget it and give me an A. by Jason Liebis 10 Student Life Lost Love A smile painted on the face the sorrow in the eye. The untold secret locked inside a pain that wouldn't die. A shadow on the every move a soul that was not free, A terror burning in the heart forever it would be. A life torn apart by the ultimate test. A long-lost love that would not rest. A person tortured by the feelings in the heart. A person's life slowly coming apart. by Nicole Shada Columbus Sales Pavillion It's a quiet summer night. I can smell the new fallen rain. In the darkness I hear nothing but the sound of a passing train. I now hear them wailing at that stopping place to Hell. They do not know what awaits. For them, it's just as well. I remember reading of Hitler and all the millions he did kill. I do not like to think of it. The reality gives me a chill. We say that it is necessary to kill so we can survive. But what gave us the right to say who dies and who stays alive? And so we go on living, working for our mutual gain. I go inside and fall asleep for I am feeling no pain. by Jason Liebig Never Look Back I felt the large hand as it grasped and crushed my shoulder. And as I turned ever so slowly to search for bottom in the depths of his eyes, they became cool and icy blue that instantly froze. I felt a shiver run down my spine and a tear run down my cheek. From that moment on I never looked over my shoulder. by Beth Rickard Art writing 11 12 Sophomores For many sophomores, the year was full of excitement as well as fear. The school seemed so big. I never thought that I would be able to find my classes! one sophomore ex- claimed. Another rookie seemed to fear the upperclassmen. Before school on the first day, some senior girls approached me and told me to do 20 pushups but I just ig- nored them. Freedom was one thing that the so- phomores enjoyed most. I liked lunch because there were many things you could do and were not forced to eat or study like in junior high, another sophomore stated. Although each sophomore's sched- ule differed, many classes appeared on the majority of schedules. One of these classes was biology. The biology field trips weren't re- ally as bad as they seemed even though we got very dirty and wet sometimes. We learned more about birds, plants, in- sects, etc. by actually going out to col- lect and observe them,” a soph said. Sophomore Composition was a class that appeared on everyone's schedule. Sophomores learned how to write essays in expository form with the help of white and yellow outline sheets. Though now I hate writing essays, I suppose sometime it will pay off know- ing how to write them, said a sopho- more disinterested in English. Physical education was another class that appeared. Archery, running, weightlifting and badminton were just a few units completed. Sophomores were able to get in- volved in some extracurricular activities during their first year at high school. Ac- tivities such as pep club, student coun- cil, sports, C-Club, and theatre produc- tions kept many students busy with events other than those strictly aca- demic. Many turned sixteen during the sophomore year which meant driving a car without parents and sometimes get- ting their first job — the first tests at ac- cepting responsibility.

The things I like most about show- ing horses are the excitement, challenge and speed! she said excitedly. She explained that she has loved horses since she was little and she finally talked her parents into getting one for her. The horse they purchased was ex- cellent in barrel racing and pole bending so she took advantage of that and start- ed competing in those events. Crow has been involved for three years and has participated in two show seasons with her horses named Eisen- hower Don (Ike) and Nell Bly (Nellie). Her awards for showing horses have inciuded winning her district in pole bending against 75 other competi- tors. In state competition, Crow finished eighth in 1985 and seventh in 1984. She also earned the title of reserve champion in poles in the NHCA. Crow devotes a lot of time to prac- ticing during show season. She spends at least one and one half hours per horse six or seven days a week. If some things work out, I would love to train and show futurity barrel horses as a career. I wouldn't give my horses up for anything besides a new red Corvette!! Channa Crow gives Ike a big hug.

What does it mean? “It's a lot of work. Being a junior is like being a middle child. Sophomores get a lot of attention because they're the new kids and the seniors act like superstars because it's their last year here. It was okay to be immature as a sophomore, but juniors are expected to know better. Junior year? It's a year of change. Some people felt that eleventh grade was, indeed, a year of change. This was because there were many more responsibilities than in previous years and more was expected by teachers, parents and peers. To many, being a junior means work, work, work. Chemistry, Math III, U.S. Histo- ry, Junior English and other demanding classes put pressure on students. Organizing Prom, taking PSAT tests and looking for colleges are a few responsi- bilities handed to juniors. The school that towered above them as sophomores became a little smaller. Jun- iors knew their way around the school and also all of the rules. They were no longer sophomores who may have been pushed around by upper- classmen. By the time students reached eleventh grade, they were aware of their surround- ings and had settled into their everyday routines as high school students.

During the summer, at Abe's Raceway, JoDean Iwan took first place in the pow- der puff derby. I became involved in the race because I thought it would be fun and something no one else has done before, Iwan stated. I was scared of the car rolling. The car in front of me rolled. After the front car rolled, I let up and dropped back, but I wanted to win so I went for it. According to Iwan, preparations were made by driving her own car which was like her brother's. Her car has the same steering which helped during the race. She also wore a helmet and fire suit. At first, I couldn't believe I had won, she commented. She added that her family knew she could handle racing and was happy she had raced. Iwan drove her brother's Toyota Celica. 28 Students Michael Modrow Patricia Moran Brian Muhs Michael Muhsman Rhonda Muller David Nansel David Neemeyer Eric Nelson Shelly Nielson Irene Nieuwenhuis Kevin Nolan Kelly O'Hearn Rosemary Olcott Sandra Otte James Parten Nat Patton James Pavel Russel Phillips Troy Probst Shannon Prososki Mark Purkoski Kris Rayman Andy Reeder Carrie Reiff Lynette Rice Viki Rice Stacy Rieck Maisie Riley Jerome Ryan Marci Ryck Dan Saalfeld Sandy Schaefer Joel Schafer Dan Schmit Brian Schultz Tom Schultz Jeffery Scoville Brent Schumacher Jolene Seckman Wendy Sedlacek Kim Seipel Lisa Seivert Elaine Shefcyk Dan Sherbo Deanna Skalak Tracy Skalak Jean Spall Bill Spulak Tim Stamm Kurt Staroscik Trent Stempek Pamela Stoakes Patricia Stoakes Bob Struebins Tad Stuelpnagel Cynthia Stuhr Amy Tagwerker Kyle Tonniges Robyn Trew Tom Tucker 30 Students J.

Most seniors had to decide whether they were going to attend college and where. I get all this mail from all of these colleges and some I have never even heard of, explained one senior. Another senior said his last year was not quite what he had expected. Many expected it to be fun and games but were presented with even more work and more pressures. Schedules differed even more for each veteran. Some were plagued with hard schedules which began at 8:15 and ended at 3:07. Others had simple, easy schedules and were out of school more than in. Internship was seen on many of the senior schedules. At first, internship was a big deal, getting out of school earlier than everyone else, but, toward the end, the excitement died down and became very routine. one senior explained. Another senior went on to explain that, It was fun listen- ing to the sophomores and juniors complaining about P.E. and other required classes that we don't have to take any longer. This person then ended his statement with, Did we look and act like that as sophomores? Second semester open lunch was another privilege ear- ned by many seniors. This was great, getting to go eat lunch out. noted one senior. The school that was once a big, intimidating giant as a sophomore had shrunk to a very non-intimidating size. As one veteran of three years stated, Just get me out of here! That's all I want.

Volleyball, sleep occupy summer This summer, Jami Duranski trav- elled throushout the Midwest as part of a United States Volleyball Association (USVBA) summer team. Duranski was chosen for the team after playing on the Columbus site team and travelling to tournaments throughout Nebraska and Iowa in the off season. Coaches from various site teams chose 10 girls to play on the summer team. The announcement was made at the final junior tournament in Lamoni, Iowa. Duranski left for Graceland Col- lege in Lamoni in the beginning of June. Her team trained there for 10 days then played in a tournament in Chicago. It returned to Graceland for 10 more days of three-a-day practices and then travelled to Minneapolis, Minnesota, to play in a week-long tournament where her team finished seventh in the country. One of the things that Duranski lik- ed most was all of the friends she made. She also saw a lot of good vol- leyball players. It was incredible to see all of the competition that is really out there. It seemed like there were college coaches from every school in the country looking for recruits! she com- mented. Another good thing was that every- thing was paid for. It was financed by sponsorship. I got a little homesick ... But at least I didn't have to worry about what was going on every night. All we had time to think about was volleyball and sleep! she added.

''They're digusting,” he said. But, there are some parts of the job that are at least tolerable, Shaw added quickly. Vacuuming isn't too bad. Yog just turn it on and go. You don't even have to think about it, Shaw commented. There are a total of seven janitors on the school custodial staff. Two are day custodians, and the other five work the evening shift from 2.30 to 10:30. On game and theater nights they may work as late as 11:30. They open the rooms and turn on the lights for these after-school and eve- ning activities. They are also around to help if anything unexpected comes up. Their cleaning responsibilities are divided according to how much each custodian can clean during his shift. The part I like best about my job is meeting the teachers and the people, Shaw concluded.

I think a middle school and a 9-12 high school is a very good idea. Mr. Rich Patton, assistant principal, was referring to a new project the ad- ministration took on as a result of several months' study of increasing demands on classroom space and number of person- nel. The project involved adding space to the senior high to make room for freshmen who were to be brought to the senior high for the 1988-1989 school year. The project also included a middle school at the junior high composed of grades 6-8. The project was set to begin in the late spring of 1987 and to be fin- ished before the beginning of the 1988- 1989 school year. Another change that involved the administration was a new member of the board of education. The newcomer was Mr. John McPhail who replaced Mr. Jerry Engdahl. Members of the 1986-1987 board were Dr. Fred Bellum, Mrs. Sue Lovci, Dr. David Swartz, Dr. Harold Lange, Mr. Da- vid Ernst, Mrs. Cathy Johnson, Mr. Ron Schilling and McPhail.

This was probably be- cause many students are busy taking re- quired classes and don't have much time for electives,” she explained. Other art classes offered were Pot- tery I and II, lettering, sculpturing and printmaking taught by Mrs. Leoda Davis. Miss Ruth Schlobohm taught Pottery I and II along with Fibers I and II.

The staff of The Voyage was com- posed of four sections responsible for copy, layout, photography and editing. Each section was headed by an edi- tor. The editors were Deb Bloebaum, copy,- Murphy, layout and Brenda Kuta, photography. Co-editors were Bob Groke and Angela McCann. Assistant editor was Staci Rieck. The copy staff did all interviews, wrote copy and placed it into the com- puter. Bloebaum, Caitlin Ellefson, Gret- chen Markel, Lyn Rice, Marci Ryck and Jennifer Horner were members of this section. The layout section arranged copy and photos for printing as well as creat- ed special effects throughout the book. The section consisted of Murphy, Irene Niewenhuis, Kris Rayman, Bob Haus- mann, Chris Messersmith, Laura Adamy and Tammy Dush. Emphasis was put on improving the quality of photography over previous years. Kuta, Robyn Trew, Kim Krumland, Angie Bruce, Lisa Eusterbrock, Shawna Adair, Susan Walsh, and Judy Harrin learned how to take, develop, and print pictures to record the year's events. Mr. Robert Adams was advisor of the group. Kris Rayman works hard on a layout to meet the first deadline. Be sure to get white space to the outside, Co-Editor Bob Groke advises Irene Nieuwenhuis. Laura Adamy contemplates a preliminary layout before submitting it to the copy section. 0 56 Yearbook Photo Section Member Kim Krumland takes a pic- ture of the same at Homecomins despite the rain. “Be sure to use the best picture big, Mr. Robert Adams, advisor, says to Layout Editor Shelley Mur- phy and Tammy Dush.

Yearbook 57 Students ‘experience’ theater According to Miss Ruth Schlobohm, the- ater teacher, theater was, The experi- ence of people joining together in all phases of production to perform a selected script to an audience for their entertainment. Acting is the most rewarding area for me to teach. It's fun to see my students create their characters, Schlobohm stated. During second semester, each class prac- ticed a one-act play and presented it during an evening performance. The one-acts were selected to accommo- date the number of people who wanted to act. The others took care of technical work. The technical side consisted of lighting, makeup, scenery and props. Students learned how to use all types of stage lights from the border lights on the stage to the spotlights on the catwalk above the audi- torium seats.

Health, according to Mr. Paul Sanderson, teacher. My favorite thing about teaching health is seeing people understand something new and then have them use it in their lives, Sanderson explained. Students studied mental health, chronic disease, infectious disease, smoking, first aid, human growth and development, drugs and alcohol. My favorite unit is the first aid unit because there is a lot of active participation by students, Sanderson said. Because Health is a graduation requirement, class sizes were basically the same as the previous year, according to Sanderson. The students were interested in subject matter most of the time, he added. Health covers so many different subjects and applies to evervone's life so it has to be of interest! he commented. 60 Academics Culture important in foreign language Speaking, writing and understand- ing were the main focuses of the foreign language department. The foreign language teachers stat- ed they were working with the students to better understand and use the lan- guage. Grammar is not the only aspect of a foreign language class, according to Miss Sandy Sypherd, Spanish teacher. Culture is important in the class. Spanish students wrote and per- formed skits. Also, Spanish IV students taught at local elementary schools. German students had a week of Ital- ian study. They read short stories and novels throughout the year. Both classes had a Christmas cele- bration. Students decorated their class- rooms and were allowed to bring food and drink representing their countries. Spanish and German students also taught each other Christmas carols. Bob Struebing, Dan Saalfeld and Doug Cross dis- play their advertisements in Spanish.

Foreign Language 61 Humanities views relationships Humanities examined the relation- ship of music, theater, art and lit- erature to the historical events of a time period. It was team taught by Mr. John Schmaltz, Mr. Boyd Bacon, Miss Ruth Schlobohm, Miss Jean Detlefsen, Mrs. Candace Becher and Mr. Robert Dier- man. Schmaltz provided the historical background of the time periods studied. Bacon related music to the historical events. I teach the development of theater from a form of communication for pre- historic man to a full-scale production entertaining an audience,” Miss Schlo- bohm stated. Miss Detlefsen dealt with the visual arts, painting, sculpture, drawing and printing. Mrs. Becher taught literature. She had the class read e. e. Cum- mings, a poet who writes in patterns. They then wrote poems using that style. Teaching gives me a better under- standing of the students and the other teachers,” Dierman explained. r V Misty Brooks uses a mask as ancient Greek actors did as she reads from the Greek play, Antigone Don't ask me why I used a muffler,” John Kreifels says while displaying his art project to the class. It was just one of those crazy ideas.” Elaine Shefcyk uses her collage on the subject of drugs and alcohol and ways people abuse them as an example of the visual arts. 62 Academics Students liked grammar least Grammar, according to Mrs. Can- dace Becher and Miss Lana Dan- ielson, is what students like least about English. They feel literature was liked best. Becher commented that stu- dents who enjoy reading were doing something they enjoyed. According to Danielson, one of her favorite parts of English is grammar. She said she likes how it all fits to- gether. She also liked the discussions from the literature that is read. She com- mented she liked the Twain unit best be- cause she admired his writing. Danielson said students in general English had different tastes, but she thought there were a couple of favorite books in College Prep. English She thought the students liked Huckleberry Finn and A Farewell to Arms best. The reason they liked Huck- leberry Finn was for its message. Becher noted that students tell her at the end of the year they liked A Sepa- rate Peace and The Scarlett Letter. They liked A Separate Peace because it had characters closer to their own age. I am surprised so many students like The Scarlett Letter because it is a hard book, Becher commented. A part of the English department that is sometimes overlooked is Creative Writing. Danielson teaches the class. She said Creative Writing consists of writing short stories, prose, poetry, and experi- menting with different types of writing. Other members of the department were Mr. Robert Adams, Mrs. Josette Kluck and Mr. Larry Anderson. Mr. Larry Anderson sestures as he makes a point about giving good speeches. Ed Martinson works on his career essay in Mr. Robert Adams's English class.

English 63 Paper adds 'Seniors Live It’ Do you know how to conduct an interview, write a news story, lay out a paper or sell advertise- ments? That’s what the newspaper staff did to publish nine issues of The Discoverer durins the year. The Discoverer staff consisted of 19 members,- all were juniors or seniors. Mrs. Candace Becher was advisor. Mrs. Becher's favorite thing about teaching newspaper was, “Seeing so much progress in my staff. I'm very proud of them!! Mrs. Becher said one thing that was added to The Discoverer was the fea- ture called “Seniors Live It.” Senior Lau- rie Morrissey wrote a story under this headline each month which dealt with different aspects of senior life. Editors were Chris Williams, editor- in-chief; Amy Bryant, news editor; Chris Fallesen, feature editor and James Low- ry, sports editor. Lisa Bradley was business manager.

Newspaper 65 Social studies interest grows I I I am really impressed with the I number of students at CHS who | are taking social studies elec- tives simply because of their interest in the field ' Mr. Doug Terry, newest addi- tion to the Social Studies Department, explained. Mr. Gordon Steinbrook agreed that students were interested in social stud- ies. The students seemed interested in the subject matter... At least that's the feeling I was left with in my classes, he stated. There were no new classes added to last year's curriculum. Last year we were simply in the process of fine tuning what was new a year ago,” Steinbrook added. Introduction to the Behavioral Sci- ences (IBS) and Great Plains History were added during 1985-1986. There was great interest in both electives the two men agreed. Social studies live. They're life - drama, living, dying, suffering and cele- brating. They're the sum total of all that we've been, all that we are and all that we hope to become, Steinbrook re- marked. Jeff Robertson, Todd Hanke, Kori Kuta and Gary Rullo agree that teamwork is the best way to get World History worksheets done. Shannon Wolles converses with Mr. Doug Terry about an IBS worksheet.

Social Studies 67 Life skills learned in Home Ec There were eight different areas of home economics. These were Independent Living, Parenthood Education, Marriage and the Family, Interior Design and Decorating, Basic Foods and Nutrition, Advanced Foods and Nutrition, Ba- sic Textiles and Creative Textiles. Mrs. Mary Ann Fleischaker was home ec teacher. In Independent Living, students learned about family and personal relationships, dating, personal appearance, food and clothing. Parenthood Education taught the roles and responsibili- ties of parents, prenatal development, growth of a child from one to six years, single parenting, child abuse and day care. In Marriage and the Family, students studied self esteem, dating, courtship, engagement, marriage, divorce, family plan- ning, the aging process, death and dying. This class was also approved for history credits with Mr. Doug Terry helping teach it. Interior Design and Decorating students learned living pat- terns, elements and principles of design, house styles, how a house is constructed, energy conservation, interior design, se- lection of furnishings and how to rent or buy a house. In Basic Foods and Nutrition, students learned food pres- ervation, the five food groups, weight control and diet, aging and nutrition, food during pregnancy and feeding a young child. Advanced Foods and Nutrition students studied profes- sional cooks and equipment, ordering and storing food, a pro- fessional cook’s job, fast foods, foreign food, microwaves and outdoor cooking. Basic Textiles taught the relationships between clothing and self esteem, consumerism, textiles, fibers, pattern selec- tion and garment construction. In Creative Textiles, students studied marketable sewn items, merchandising, careers in textiles, personalizing a ward- robe and garment construction. Fleischaker felt more people should take home ec because it has a purpose and teaches life skills which everyone needs. According to Fleishacker, 'There is a wide variety of re- sources, guest speakers are available and the students always get to do something different which is why I like teaching home ec.

Home Economics 69 Computer knowledge aid to future Four new computers and three new printers were used by computer students. Students had access to a better quality printout. When asked what emphasis is put on computers for college, Mr. Al Griffith, teacher, replied Computers are not re- quired to get into colleges, but many classes use computers. If you don't have a class you have to pick it up on your own. Mr. Griffith took nine hours of courses that taught him different meth- ods of teaching. Computers help you in future jobs, he said. Most jobs will have you using some kind of machine and a back- ground in programming will help you un- derstand these machines, he added. Mrs. Pat Breuer checks over a computer printout.

Miss Owens taught Algebra II, Math III and Trigonometry. She did not have a favorite class, but enjoyed the courses she taught for several reasons. The logical sequence of Algebra II, I think, makes it an easy course to teach, Miss Ov ens commented. The variety of topics in Math III is great for a challenge. In trig, the thorough development of just six basic functions makes it inter- esting, she added. Other math teachers were Mr. Ber- nard Nitsch, Mr. Richard Luebbe and Mrs. Connie Bradley. Mr. Nitsch concentrates on srading geometry pa- pers during his free period. Miss Owens gives Kerry Neumann a hint during an Algebra II quiz. Miss Owens didn't go over this problem, did she?” Eric Nelson wonders. Chris Messersmith hurries to finish an Algebra II as- signment before the bell rings. Math 71 Science, life problems related hyics gives students a good hack- le ground ' Mr. Alan Griffith, teacher, commented. He said that the things students learned in physics can be applied to different areas in their lives. In physics, the general topics are motion, waves and atomic models. Some of the experiments done in physics were friction between solids, throwing a baseball, electrified objects, mass of an elec- tron and changes in internal energy. Griffith said he likes teaching physics be- cause the material is “mentally stimulating. In chemistry, students studied atomic structure, chemical formulas, solutions, acids and bases. Some experiments performed were chemical reactions, finding the molecular weight of an unknown gas, effect of pressure on volume and determining whether a solution is acidic or basic. Mr. Brad Sass said he likes teaching chem- istry because “the methods of solving prob- lems teach a person how to solve problems from all different angles. Physiology and Anatomy students learned about skeletal, muscular and nervous systems, and functions of organs. Students dissected fetal pigs and sheep. In Physical Science, students learned about digestion, plants, fire, household ener- gy, auto safety, electricity and fuels. Biology students studied fundamental concepts of life such as homeostasis, relations between structure and function and interac- tion of living organisms with the environment. There were field trips taken to collect plants and insects. Frogs, perch, crayfish and worms were dissected. According to Sass, students should take biology because “it provides a very solid base to the understanding of life. Sass liked teaching biology because “the intricate manner in which life has evolved on this planet and how we are affecting it are of great interest to me and hopefully I can interject that into my clas- ses. The topics studied in Environmental Science were ecosystems, food chains, population problems, pollution and conservation. Other science teachers were Mr. Chris Dixon, Mr. Ron Callan and Mr. Jack Young. Suanne Zedicher and Michelle Pohlman, left, work on a biolosy assisnment with Shawn Miller and Scott Benson.

Science 73 Benefits of business numerous I I tudents take these classes for either employment after high school, for college or for per- sonal use. It is very beneficial either way ’ according to Miss Mona Schoen- rock, business teacher. The classes she referred to were business classes of Shorthand I and II, Accounting I and II, Office Machines, Recordkeeping, Typing I and II, Office Procedures and Business Math. Approximately 20 to 25 students were enrolled in each of the classes. Stu- dents taking Office Occupations also had internship and got out of school to go to work after sixth period. Business teachers were Schoen- rock, Mr. Rich Young, Mr. Bill Jackson and Mr. Gordon Essink. I feel the most important business class a student could possibly take is typing which is now often referred to as keyboarding because whatever career they go into they will need it for one thing or another,” Schoenrock added. 'you have three minutes - begin,” Miss Mona Schoenrock says in her typing class. 'How am I supposed to type all of this!” Darin Holley thinks while Jean Gaspers finishes an assignment. 74 Academics Michelle Pfeiffer busily types away while Tami Jansen smiles at a job well Checkins over her work is Senior Kelli Smets. done. Are you with me now, class? Mr. Bill Jackson says in his Accountins II class. Business 75 Marketing reveals world of work €€ L A arketing provided hands- on experience in the I T 1 world of work ' Mrs. Cora Berry, substitute teacher for Mrs. Rob- erta Uhrig, commented. Mrs. Uhrig was on pregnancy leave. “The class studied production and distribution and business management in more detail than the regular business classes ' Mr. Richard Young, business in- structor, added. Students did activities dealing with advertising, income tax returns, comput- er simulations, sales presentations, pric- ing exercises and creation of window displays. “They learned how the world of business operates and where they, as workers, fit in, Mrs. Berry said. Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) is a student organiza- tion affiliated with the marketing de- partment. “DECA does outside activities such as the trip to New Orleans last May, Young explained. Go Fishing with Wal-Mart” was the advertising campaign used in the window display created by Marketing II Students Craig Weisser and Donnie Mahoney. This Marketing I student receives help from classmates while learning how to fill out federal income tax forms. I know the answer to that one!” Steve Barnes thinks as he finishes his market- ing test during the last few minutes of class. 76 Activities Dancing, lifting featured in PE One class that was required of sophomores and juniors was physical education. Sophomores enjoyed going to the y for racketball, getting a square dance caller to come in during the square dance unit and having the opportunity to tour Hinze Nautilus Center. Junior PE classes went through units such as speedball, in-season and out-of- season weightlifting, rugby, field hock- ey and archery. All of the classes were taught Tae- Kwan-Do by a professional instructor. “P.E. is a time during the day when a student can relax and have some fun. It also gives the student a little time away from the classroom and all the books,” a sophomore commented. Teachers for the sophomore classes were Mrs. Karen Hoops and Mr. Bret Thompson. Junior classes were taught by Mrs. Dorothy Courtier and Mr. Bart Bartholomew. Brooke Muhle and Staci Podliska enjoy themselves while doing aerobics. Mindy Kobus gets ready to release her arrow while Gannon Eggar calculates her score. Sara Kotrous is in her ready stance. A student in Mr. Thompson’s class learns balance, agility and how to stand on his head without help. Physical Education 77 Industrial Arts gets new lathe Electives and subjects from welding to cabinetmaking to electrical wir- ing to drafting could be taken in the Industrial Arts Department. There were also many special activi- ties. According to Mr. Craig Post, the building trades class constructed a ga- rage in the fall and finished remodeling the football stadium at Pawnee Park in the spring. National Vocational Education Week was also a highlight, Mr. Fred Smith said. Local businessmen were in- vited to speak on job and career oppor- tunities. One auto dealer also brought a new auto to show new technologies. Mr. Mark Mueller and Smith were also guest disc jockeys on KLIR and spoke about vocational education. A new addition to the department was the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) lathe. A CNC lathe is simply a lathe that can be controlled and operated with a computer. The student programs the computer with the correct coordinates and the desired shape produced, Mr. Mark Karel makes calculations durins mechanical draftins. Matt Miller and Dous Micek use torches durins Me- tals II. Safety slasses are a must when drill pressing as shown by Kirk Johnson. Steve Karel works on his circuit board in Advanced Electronics. 78 Academics Gary Slizoski and Dave Dush put up sheetrock under the stands at Pawnee Park. Daryl Keyes checks to be sure the proper amount of metal is removed to achieve a good angle. Rick Weverka carefully checks tolerance on a metal lathe. Troy Coffey and Brian Roelle put up sheetrock 'It's Spirit Week isn't it?? I thought today was Nerd Day!!'' Alan Pieters shouts in welding class. Industrial Arts 79 Guidance goal: helping to plan € ( I wiping students plan for college and a career is our I primary goal,” Mr. Roger Goos, guidance counselor, comment- ed. He added that the roles he and Mrs. Cathy Wibbels performed were to help students cope with their prob- lems. We deal with a bit of every- thing, he said, scheduling problems, financial aid workshops and college representatives to name a few. I enjoy helping people, Goos said, but it’s frustrating when you can do nothing to help the situation. In 1989, when CHS becomes a four-year high school, the guidance department is to receive a new coun- selor. Miss Carolee Wurdeman, junior high band instructor, will become the new counselor. Mrs. Verdella Emerson and Mrs. Maxine Peppier, secretaries for the Guidance Department, do clerical work su£h as entering student regis- tration information into a computer. Mrs. Cathy Wibbels assists Jason Ratzlaff, Kerry Neumann and Lance Lehr in finding special refer- ence materials for a research paper Mrs. Verdella Emerson shares a light moment dur- ing her task of indexing student records. 80 Academics Special students get extra help Special education classes ran as part of the regular class curriculum. There was a Sophomore English and a Junior- Senior English class and also several resource periods. In the classes, students explored and studied many ca- reers. Some of the seniors had the opportunity to tour differ- ent kinds of businesses. They also shared many cooking and sewing activities. “Most of the students enjoy these activities, Miss Kim Korth, special education teacher, commented. “They are get- ting a chance to see and do things that normally wouldn't hap- pen. Miss Korth also added that she would like to see the spe- cial education students accepted for who they are. “Many times they are put down, made fun of and laughed at. Many times this is ignored but their feelings still get hurt, she explained. “Their learning problems and social problems are hard enough for them to cope with. They don't need to be hassled by others. Other teachers in the Special Education Department were Mrs. Sylvia Walters, Mrs. Joy Stilmock and Mr. Mark Mueller. Troy Jindra enjoys his painting class along with Doree Doolittle, left, and Randy Kelsey. David Sliva listens and concentrates intently while Amy Marik looks on. Mrs. Joy Stilmock, consultant for behaviorally impaired, helps Kirk Aim with homework. Special Education 81 82 Impressions vary among band Being a member of band created different impressions for differ- ent musicians. The reactions also seem to depend on grade. Sophomore Mike Nelson had been in band six years and liked to play music and enjoyed learning while Sophomore Marie Srb liked meeting upperclassmen. Junior Randy Keith said after five years it had been fun, but he would have liked more competitions. The seniors enjoyed their last year. Coleen McCarthy said she is looking forward to learning more in college. The 1986-87 band included 56 members. The instructor was Mr. Bill Bailey. The band had 12 sections and each had a leader. The leaders were Stacy Rieck, flutes; Rick Smith, clarinets; Becky Boucher, saxophones; Chris Gustaf- son, bass clarinets; Mike Nelson, French horns; John Kreifels, tenor saxophones; Todd Gumm, trumpets; Jodie Matz, trombones; Chris Noviki, percussion; Craig Fisher, baritones and Scott Moran, tubas. The dates of concerts were Janu- ary 27, April 14, district music contests April 24 and a concert in the park was May 21. Practices hard for an upcoming concert are first row: Brenda Siffring, Lisa Nelson, Lori Galley and Pam Dohmen. Second row: Kelli Ryan and Chris Gustafson. Third row: Kevin Nolan. Playing selections from Mantanee are front row: Bill Evans, Mark Vanek and Becky Boucher. Back row: Rhett Pilkinton, John Kriefels, Kris Holston and Mike Nelson. Jim Murphy plays a favorite tune. 84 Academics Jazz Band appearances varied Pep rallies, home basketball games, state volleyball and district bas- ketball games and an Ag Day ap- pearance in the U.S. 30 Mall provided varied work for the 14 members of the Jazz Band. They also competed in District Mu- sic Contest in April and the Wayne State Pep Band Contest where they received an award for being one of the top four pep bands in Northeast Nebraska. The members audition in February of the previous year to be accepted. Members of the 1986-1987 band were Kim Anderson, Becky Boucher, Todd Gumm, Chris Gustafson, Kerry Hicks, Greg Hutcheson, John Kreifels, Coleen McCarthy, Bob Mohr, Kevin No- lan, Chris Novicki, Rhett Pilkenton, Shawn Grimm and Bob Cothern. The instructor was Mr. Bill Bailey. Shawn Grimm and Kerry Hicks practice a melody to play at the pep rally.

Academics 85 Marchers improve spirit, morale There was better morale and spirit this year ' Mr. Bill Bailey, director, remarked regardins the marching band season. When asked what player he thought had improved the most, Bailey an- swered, Randy Keith. The reason was he worked hard and improved his drum- ming techniques. There was a minor change in the band uniforms this year. White gloves were added for all members, and new black boots were given to the drum majors. Bailey ob- served that the white gloves added to the visual effect of the band and made it look more uniform. Two members were nominated by Bailey to the McDonald's All-American High School Band. They were Todd Gumm, trumpet, and Chris Novicki, drums. Bailey said he nominated them because of musical abilities and solo contest ratings. Both students received superior rat- ings in the district contest. There were 75 people in band. The band received a 2, excellent, in the parade at the Columbus Marching Festival. In field competition, the band earned a 1, superior. The band traveled to the Plattsmouth Marching Band Con- test in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, and re- ceived a superior rating. In the State Marching Festival in Lincoln the band rated a 2, excellent. Bailey also commented that there was a very good effort both at Platts- mouth and at State, but he was happier with the effort at Plattsmouth. Bailey ex- plained that the band did not pull to- gether and concentrate on the music at State. Team spirit, effort and working to- gether were the band's strongest points, according to Bailey. He said the band's weakest area was the marching fundamentals. Sarah Karnik practices on one of the cold early morninss.

All seniors, juniors and upcoming sophomores are eligible to become members. Tryouts are in the spring. This year's flag corps had 13 members and rifle corps had 6. The corps had some summer re- hearsals because it is harder to catch on to the rifles, according to Laurie Grag- ert, captain of the rifle corps. The color guard practiced every morning for the first quarter of school from 7 until 8:47. Practices were also on Saturdays. Members were chosen by Mr. Bill Bailey, band director; the previous year's cap- tain and an expert brought in to judge the competition. A winter corps was originated. It performed at home basketball games. Robin Hinrichs anxiously awaits the ratings at the Columbus Marching Festival. Laurie Gragert, rifle corps captain, demonstrates a proper holding technique.

One day, a tornado blew Dor- othy and her house from Kansas to the land of Oz. As sne journeyed through Oz, she found friends who tried to help her get back to Kansas. She finally rea- ched home by clicking her heels to- gether three times. Dorothy's adventures began and ended, however, on the stage of the auditorium and lasted about four weeks. They occurred as part of The Wiz a musical version of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Miss Ruth Schlobohm, director, said she chose The Wiz because it was fun to do and a new ap- proach to an old story. Schlobohm commented that picking the cast is always the har- dest part of a production because the success of the play depends on it. She said picking the cast last year was not any harder or easier than other years. The cast practiced 10 weeks before performing the play. It worked Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Schlobohm commented any play is the effort of all cast mem- bers, and one person cannot be sin- gled out as best. She was very pleased with the play overall. She thought the cast gave a good performance, was alive and energetic and looked like it had a good time. Schlobohm added that the enthusiasm of the elementary stu- dents at the afternoon performance was such a great experience for the actors that it kept them going for the run of the show. 88 Activities Cast Aunt Em.....................................

Fall Musical 89 Efficiency in ‘Dozen’ cheaper ST0P I £ r% BY THE DOZEN Cheaper by the Dozen, the sprins play, told the story of a family run with the most efficiency pos- sible. Mr. Gilbreth used the same effi- ciency methods at home as he did in his business. To keep his children on their toes, he occasionally blew a whistle and they had to drop whatever they were doing to line up in the living room. This proce- dure was timed. Mr. Gilbreth believed his daughters should not date or wear silk stockings. This proved a hinderance for the girls. The play ended with a loving fare- well as Mr. Gilbreth left for a time man- agement convention in Europe. Cheaper by the Dozen was written by Frank and Ernestine Gilbreth, children of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. Miss Ruth Schlobohm, director, said she chose Cheaper by the Dozen be- cause “it was a neat play and there were good people to fill the roles. There was a total of 16 cast mem- bers. There were 10 on the technical crew. The cast practiced Mondays, Tues- days and Thursdays from 6:30 to 9:30 each night. The practices lasted about eight weeks. Schlobohm commented she was pleased with the play overall. She said “the actors got into character well and made it look like a real family. Scott Flash as Joe Scales, the cheerleader, yells Hoo Rah Ray and a Tiger for Montclair High!

Spring Play 91 One-Acts chances for all to act heater II classes and the Thespian troupe presented five, one-act plays Thursday, May 7. It was a good opportunity for those who might not ordinarily audition for the plays to have a chance to perform, Miss Ruth Schlobohm, theater instructor, commented. The Theater II classes presented Louder, I Can't Hear You by William Gleason, Murder is Fun by Catherine Blankenship and How To Get Rid of a Housemother by Tim Kelley. The Thespians presented Mafia Memories, an original script by Brennon Flash, and Picnic on a Battlefield by Fer- nando Arrabol. Louder, I Can’t Hear You was a comedy dealing with the fact that people just don't seem to listen anymore. The cast consisted of Joni Kinzer as the mother, Charlie Lovell as the fa- ther, Suzanne Rouse and Morris Sylvester as the children, Trent Stempek as the doctor and Susan Walsh as the nurse. Tammy Dush operated the lights. Murder is Fun was a satire of a murder mystery. Captain Brown of the homicide squad, played by Mike Keating, asked the audience for help in solving the murder of Alfred Clark, the composer. The murder was re-enacted with Rod Zulkoski as Alfred Clark, Jeff Buntgen and Darla Holley as his children, Mi- chelle Sokol as his fiance,Vicki Baker as his ex-wife, Brent Schu- macher as his lawyer and Krystal Holston as the maid. The doc- tor, played by Kris Ruhl, solved the mystery. The audience in- cluded Susan Ratkovec, Kelly Kruse, Kim Hansen, Kim Kline and Mick Dush. Eric Meissner, Jamie Bartholemew, Richard Denton and Brandon Frideres made up the lighting crew, and Diane Borer, Connie JHawthorne, April Chrislip and Rachelle Doremus were v the stagS crew.

The Zambini family included Jason Liebig as Louie, Scott Flash as Antony, Brennon Flash as Marko, Dan Schmidt as Franko and Amy Bryant as Maria. Misty Brooks played Franko's fiance, Jordan. The owner of Mama's was played by Laurie Morrissey with Chris Fallesen and Kathy Estes as waitresses. Chris Wilson, the competition, was played by Todd Gumm and his friends were played by Rob Rush and Charlie Lovell. The young men listening as Mama told this story were por- trayed by John Gierke, Tony Lindquist and Mike Nelson. Picnic on a Battlefield was an example of theater of the absurd. Dave Nansel as Zapo was surprised by his parents played by Brian Phillips and Laurie Morrissey when they came to the front to share a picnic lunch with him. They captured an enemy soldier portrayed by Rob Rush and invited him to partake of their lunch. The picnic was in- terrupted by bombers and two corpsmen, John Gierke and Tony Lindquist, as they were searching for bodies.

One-Acts 93 Thespians for theater-oriented Thespians is an organization for students who are theater oriented ' Miss Ruth Schlobaum, sponsor, replied when asked about the group. The name Thespians came from Thespus who was the first Greek actor, she explained. In order to become a member of Thespians, the student must have partic- ipated in two, full-length plays and be knowledgeable in five areas of theater. There were 26 members in Thes- pians. The group had initiation twice, once in the fall and once in the spring. Each time, at least six members had to be accepted. Thespians participated in several activities last year. When the state Olympics of the Mind was held here, Thespians served as gofers running all sorts of errands, Schlobaum remembered. They also put on the One-Act Plays. Honors Night was co-sponsored by Thespians and Student Council. Thespians also enjoyed a dance at the end of the year in the auditorium. Miss Schlobaum puts stage makeup on Dave Nansel before the One-Act Plays. Gannon Egger and Misty Brooks prepare for take-off at the Thespian Dance. Swing your partner round and round.

How did you answer number three?” Miguel Leiva asks a classmate during his first period class. Two AFS exchange students shared class time last year. Saleit Koler from Israel was here first semester and Miguel Leiva, a Colombian, was here second semes- ter. Koler's favorite pastimes includ- ed reading, watching movies, sleeping and dancing whenever possible. She also enjoyed listening to all kinds of music. For dancing, I like my music loud, she explained. For listening, I like quieter music with lyrics that say something artistically, she empha- sized. Her favorite American singer was Bruce Springsteen, but she liked all kinds of artists from all over the world. While in America, Koler lived with the Spencer Norton family. After the first two minutes they were family, she said. I liked them very much and I had a great time. Mary was more like a friend than a mother, she added. Miguel Leiva, a foreign exchange student from Columbia, transferred from Scotus at the semester. Leiva has a 16-year-old brother who is coming to America this year with another exchange program and a 15-year-old sister. While in America, Leiva lived with the Donald Zornes family. His father was the Columbus Com- munity Hospital administrator and a good golfer, Leiva said. His mother was a housewife. He had a 16-year-old brother, Ron, a junior at Scotus, and an 18- year-old sister, Diane, who was study- ing dance at UNL. Living with strangers is great at first, he said. You don't have to wash dishes, everyone is polite, and they ask what you want to do. They're not strangers anymore, he commented dryly. Now, I wash dishes. AFS 95 Choir performs with pros ( I oncert Choir had special f opportunities to perform with professional artists ' Mr. Boyd Bacon, choir director, com- mented. They traveled to Omaha for a Black spiritual clinic led by the Albert McNiel Jubilee Singers, a nationally-known Black choir from the Los Angeles area, Bacon explained.

They participated in a swing choir clinic led by Touch of Class, the swing choir from Nebraska Wesleyan Univer- sity and, during their performances, sat around a table as Medieval revelers did long ago, Bacon explained. The madrigal was a form of music that developed in Italy during the Re- naissance and spread throughout Eu- rope. Madrigal performed for Humanities classes as an example of Renaissance- style music. Members of Madrigal were Sopho- mores Lance Barcel, Paul Finley, Jim Gil- bert, Brennon Flash, Scott Benson, Sta- cey Mueller and Karin Gierke.

I ew World Singers is a select 1 1 vocal group that does some choreography ' Mr. Boyd Bacon, instructor, explained. According to Bacon, there were 20 members in the group, 10 girls and 10 boys. There were three main require- ments to try out for New World. The singers were required to be in choir, have advanced skills in singing and hearing and be willing to buy their own outfits. The instructor stated that New World sings jazz, popular songs, swing, music of the 1920’s and sometimes more serious pieces such as something for mid-term graduation. The group does most of their own choreography in class, Bacon noted. We work on the design and con- cept together. It seems everyone con- tributes in some way, he added. When asked how outfits were de- termined, Bacon replied, The group looked at outfits and made suggestions and then I finally made a decision based on what looked best and was most ef- fective on stage. Last year, the girls wore royal blue dresses with black sequined belts and the boys wore black pants and white tuxedo tops with black cumberbund belts and bow ties. According to Bacon, New World re- hearsed fourth period and sometimes at night for special competition. New World performed 20 to 30 times last year.

Of 38 girls involved, 15 were altos, 11 were first soprano and 10 were sec- ond soprano. No audition was required. Any girl who wanted to sing could join. They sang various types of music. They sang popular music, Broadway show tunes, some patriotic and some- times two-part music. They even sang some Latin music. Mr. Boyd Bacon, instructor, said he chose this music to expose the girls to different types of music. Bacon commented that how long they practiced depended on when the concert was. He said, Ideally about two months or ten weeks is best. In November, the girls went to The Columbus Manor and Mory's Haven to sing for residents. Theresa Schmid, Pam Stoakes, Rochelle Dickson and Michele Adkisson practice in class. Jantina Nelson practices singing the Benediction. Girls' Glee 99 Rain fails to ruin Homecoming Homecomins's tradition was con- tinued with Twist-n-Shout being the theme. Although the night was rain-soaked, it didn't seem to dampen anybody's fun including the football team which had a victory over Hastings by a score of 16- 0. Something new this year was the candidates being escorted into the gym at the dance due to the rain instead of participating in the usual halftime crowning. Six girls and seven guys were nomi- nated this year. Queen candidates were Jami Du- ranski, Joan Hembd, Dawn Pieke, Cheryl Hinze, Lisa Staroscik and Pam Demuth. Candidates for king were Todd Cutler, James Lowry, Steve Barnes, Todd Chinn, John Shallenberg, Nate Crow and Scott Hammons. A hush settled over the gymnasium as last year's king, Shane Blaser, crowned Steve Barnes the new king and Barnes crowned Jami Duranski queen.

Homecoming 101 Hicks, Fendrick Snowball royalty After nice weather the previous week, having snow for the annu- al Snowball dance was a sur- prise. The dance was in the cafeteria adorned with snowflakes and streamers hung by the Student Council. About 200 people danced to music played from records by Craig Weisser and Donnie Mahoney. Highlight of the night was the crowning. A new format was used. Twelve senior candidates and 10 junior and sophomore candidates were cho- sen. A king and queen were chosen from the seniors as well as a prince and prin- cess. Junior and sophomore princes and princesses also were crowned. Roger Fendrick was crowned king and Kerry Hicks queen. Prince was Marc Finley and Jean Hembd was princess. Juniors chosen were Joe Erwin and Do- nette Brase and Brian Brunken and Becky Boucher were sophomore prince and princess.

Prom takes time, work When Prom comes to mind, most people think of romance, dressing up and having one of their best times in high school. Many do not realize all of the time and preparation that goes into prom. According to Bob Hausmann, junior class treasurer, the officers had meet- ings every Thursday morning since their election. The first thing on the agenda was hiring a band. The officers went through dozens of song lists and names from agents of various bands. We mainly chose the band on their appearance and name, since not all bands sent song lists, Hausmann ex- plained. The officers chose Mad Hatter, but, because of its recent breakup, another band, Tungsten, replaced it, Shelly Niel- sen, junior class president, said. The next big task was raising money. This involved the entire class. Officers were in charge of getting tickets printed and counted and then purchasing prizes. Junior representatives were chosen from each history class. They were re- sponsible for handing out, explaining, getting back and encouraging people to sell tickets. Though it seemed slow at first, money soon started rolling in and soon a record of almost $1,600 was raised. Although fundraising ended in Feb- ruary, May 2 crept up quickly. Decorat- ing committees started forming in mid- March. They chose a theme and started creating ways to make it a special night. May 1 was the day when all of the creativity and hard work formed the fin- ished product. Dedicated members of the junior class toiled from after school until around 11:30. This was one of the best groups we've ever worked with, Mr. Patton, one of the class sponsors, said. ‘They really went to work and didn't seem to screw around too much. We never even had to raise our voices, except to tell them to turn down the music when the Channel 6 crew made a surprise visit, Mr. Patton laughed. But during all of the hard work, there was always room for fun. Decorating was really fun, espe- cially the experience of looking for pink flamingoes at Wagner's Lake and Gret- chen ran out of gas and eight of us had to push her car to Bob’s house, Sara Ko- trous commented.

Prom 103 Prom night tradition continues The night had finally arrived. The juniors' hard work and prepara- tion finally had a finished product. The perfect dress and accessories that had been diligently searched for were finally being revealed and the tuxes worn hard- ly made the males in them look like pen- guins. Guests entered the dance through a detailed black, pink and lilac deck which led them aboard the S.S. Discov- erer, an elegantly decorated cruise ship. The dance floor was recognized un- der its white pillars adorned with bal- loons of black, pink and lilac. On board was Tungsten, a band whose perfor- mance could be rated by the dance floor being completely full at all times. When one did take a break from the action or became seasick , a walk on deck brought many exciting scenarios. A message in a bottle could be seen washed upon the shore among white palm trees inhabited with avian crea- tures. A treasure chest full of precious jewels and lustrous coins sat on the is- land waiting to be discovered. Refreshments were served from a tropically designed table to stimulate that dancing sensation in most once again. The juniors were proud to present their production of This Could Be the Night and the chance for the seniors to say bon voyage to their high school memories could hardly have been more appropriately given. Viki Rice is caught up in the magic of prom as she and Jason Parker take a break from dancing.

Post-Prom gamblers hit payoff The best stars from Hollywood were not even needed to be Puttin' on the Ritz at the YMCA for the post-prom party. The party was sponsored by par- ents and local businesses and a record crowd came to enjoy food, fun and prizes. As one entered, he was greeted by hospitable parents who explained the rules and location of activities. A bank- roll of money was also issued to each guest. A venture through recollections of classic Hollywood films and their stars led to the Discoverer Downs. Eager students bet big bucks on their favorite faculty members who were given a traditional horseracing nickname. They saw their teachers race across the TV screen as enthusiasm and intensity filled the air. Blackjack, craps, roulette and chuck-a-luck tables were full of eager and sometimes greedy gamblers hoping to hit the jackpot. Money earned was used to pur- chase various prizes at the emporium or at the auction later that night. For those who had lost their money, a spin at the wheel of fortune could put them right back into the money to buy prizes or return to the casino to increase their earnings. The general comment of the party was spectacular. Although no faculty member was allowed to attend, many positive comments and phone calls were heard, according to Mr. Patton. People thought the post-prom party was just fantastic. It sounds like they really outdid themselves, he ex- claimed. Although many left with no money in hand, with the New York air about them as well as friends galore, no one was a loser. Prom 105 Brooke Muhle, Mark Charipar and Jill Siekmier play chuck-a-luck at the post prom party. Pep Club provides support Promoting school spirit and sup- porting all athletic events were the main responsibilities of Pep Club. This involved making posters, locker de- corations and organizing pep rallies. Pep Club also sponsored the Home- coming Dance and downtown pep rally the night before the dance. Pep Club met every other Wednes- day or only when there was a need. Meetings sometimes included poster parties where members got free pizza or popcorn. According to Miss Mona Shoenrock, sponsor, there was little participation by sophomores last year. When asked why the sophomore members did not take part, Shoenrock replied, Reasons are unknown since only 14 out of 40 sophomores returned a survey asking why they were not par- ticipating in Pep Club.” Angela McCann was president of the organization. Denise Pieke served as vice-president and Tracy Braithwait was secretary-treasurer. The only requirement to join Pep Club was the payment of $3 dues.

Pep Club 107 NHS offered to high achievers National Honor Society (NHS) was a new organization formed partially as a result of direction from the board of education. Mrs. Joy Stilmock, sponsor of the group, said the group was formed to recognize the academic achievements of students. NHS is a national organization sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals, Stil- mock explained. Its purpose is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership and to develop character in high school students, she continued. The number of students accepted was based on percentages. No more than 15% of the senior class, 10% of the junior class and 5% of the sophomore class could be chosen. Thirty-one students were selected. Eleven of them were seniors, thirteen were juniors and seven were soph- omores. All were inducted into the Discover- er Chapter of National Honor Society during a candlelight ceremony which took place in the gym. The York Ace Chapter of NHS helped with the induction. Officers were announced at the ceremony. Shelly Nielsen was elected president; Sandy Schaefer, vice-presi- dent; Marie Srb, secretary and Caitlin El- lefson, treasurer. According to Stilmock, to apply for membership one had to be a sopho- more, junior or senior with minimum grade point average of 3.0. The applicant was required to fill out a form that asked why he was seek- ing membership. It also asked for a list of school and community activities and awards the student had received. Next, the applicant was evaluated by a faculty council made up of teachers appointed by Mr. Robert Dierman, prin- cipal. The faculty council judged the stu- dent in leadership, service and charac- ter. Some controversy followed the in- troduction of NHS. Opposing views about the organization were published in the April 30 issue of the The Discover- er. Some students felt the selection process was unfair while others voiced beliefs which supported the society. NHS is based on the idea that each member has an obligation to use his ta- lents, skills and knowledge for the bet- terment of others, Stillmock men- tioned. This formed the cornerstone on which NHS is built, she summarized. At the induction ceremony, Lisa Bradley symboli- cally lights her candle from a York Ace's flame Members of NHS were: back row: Jerry Demuth, Jeanette Frazer, Brian Brunken, Greg Asche, Brian Phillips, Chris Roth, Jeff Scoville, Bob Dittmer and Deanna Dittmer.

Lynn Drozd seems happy about the testimony she has just given. Jackie Williams, alias Pat Pence, explains that her First Amendment rights were violated. Lawyers John Gierke and Brian Phillips await the judge's decision on the case. Giving the opening statement of the case is Attor- ney Kris Stientjes. The case: Pence vs. Midland a civil case involving the first amendment. The attorneys and witnesses: students from nearby high schools. Mock Trial was designed to increase students’ knowledge by letting them ex- perience what it is like to present a case to a judge. It was also used to teach students the meaning of good citizenship using principles of democracy. Seven students participated on the Columbus team. Jackie Williams, Bob Groke and Lynn Drozd were witnesses. Kris Stientjes, John Gierke and Brian Phil- lips played the lawyers. The alternate was Jess Vasina. The team researched and worked weekly after school for about two months on questions of law with the help of Attorney Tom Maul and Social Studies Teacher John Schmaltz before appearing before the judge to state their case. Every week the judges were dif- ferent and even if you were the same side two weeks in a row, you still could lose even if you said the exact same things the week before, Groke learned. You cannot predict the outcome if you do not know the judge personally or if you haven’t appeared before him before. Luckily, there is a double elimina- tion process. So, if you lose once, you have a second chance, Groke added. The team won two out of four of the competitions before being eliminated. Mock Trial 109 DECA encounters near disaster Marketing I and II students inter- ested in expanding their knowl- edge in the field of business or marketing were able to join Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA). The year began with a pizza party and election of officers. Donnie Maho- ney was elected president; Craig Wies- ser, vice-president; Cami Watson, secre- tary; Jami Duranski, treasurer; Tracy Kobus, reporter; Shelli Brezenski, senior representative and Kristen Cecil, junior representative. The first trip for the 49 members was to Kearney where 10 members at- tended a leadership workshop. The excitement continued with 18 members driving to Minneapolis, Minne- sota, to attend Central Regional Confer- ence. There they were to attend workshops but, instead, were greeted with a 10-hour wait for their motel room, two murders occurring nearby, a near fire and 12 of the members becoming ill. The next step was district competi- tion in Lincoln. Twenty members took two tests relating to the type of job they worked at or were interested in. One test was written and the other oral when they re-enacted a problem given to them by the judge. District competition was a trial for the real thing, State. The state career development con- ference was also in Lincoln. Twenty members again attended and four tests were taken over a three-day period. Two were written and two were oral. Amy Busteed ran for state secretary and Mike Hahn ran for District II vice- president. Both were elected making it a first for Columbus. Tom VanBerg and Deb Bloebaum also presented five-minute speeches to the judges who had been going over their manuals. VanBerg's pertained to entrepre- neurship, the starting of a business. Bloebaum's was about food marketing, customer relations of Hy-Vee. Bloe- baum placed second. Shelley Murphy was awarded a vo- cational grant through DECA. Hahn, Busteed, Bloebaum and Mur- phy were eligible to attend DECA Na- tional Career Conference in New Or- leans. Hahn and Busteed attended and went to workshops and seminars about leadership. Mrs. Roberta Uhrig was the DECA advisor and attended all functions ex- cept the trip to New Orleans. Miss Mona Schoenrock was the chaporone for this due to Mrs. Uhrig being on maternity leave. The district winners consisted of back row: Don Mahoney, Mike Hahn, Don Georse, Kristin Cecil and Deb Bloebaum. Front row: Jason Garretson, Amy Busteed, Shelli Brezenski and Shelley Mur- phy. Winners at state competition were, back row: Cami Watson, Shelley Murphy, Deb Bloebaum and Kris- tin Cecil. Second row: Mike Hahn, Tom VanBerg, Kyle Tonniges and Amy Busteed. Front row: Jeff Bettenhausen, Don George and Tina Mahlin. We are true beauties! Brendon Diamond, Pat Be- cher, John Shallenberg, Jeff Morton and Craig Wiesser seem to be saying in Wal-Mart while par- ticipating in a DECA treasure hunt. 110 DECA Council: ‘A very successful year’ The purpose of Student Council was to serve as a means of com- munication for the student body between the faculty and administration. It was also intended to promote so- cial activities within the school and to raise the level of scholastic achieve- ments. The year began with Kris Stienjes as president; Deb Bloebaum, vice-presi- dent; Julie Neemeyer, secretary and Dawn Pieke, treasurer. New officers elected in January were Brian Foldenhauer, president; Russ Edwards, vice-president; Gretchen Mar- kel, secretary and Irene Nieuwenhuis, treasurer. Terms for an office were from Janu- ary of one year to January of the follow- ing year. To join Student Council, a petition had to be signed by six percent of the class one would be representing. An of- ficer must have 100 students sign and be voted in by all grades. Student Council met once a week to plan activities of that month. Student Council participated in a number of activities. They were trick-or- treating for the Food Pantry, putting up the Christmas tree in the Commons and holding the traditional Snowball Dance. All grades had royalty. A king and queen were nominated from the senior class and a prince and princess from each of the grades. Selling valentine posters and carna- tions for lockers,- a bake sale in the Com- mons and freshman and parent orienta- tion were other responsibilities. Two new projects were also com- pleted. A freshman dance was sched- uled. According to Mr. Dixon, The dance went over well with almost 250 people showing. A TWIRP Day was staged after many years, also. TWIRP meant The Woman Is Responsible to Pay. The day was ended with a TWIRP dance that night. Student Council sponsors were Mr. Chris Dixon and Mr. Allen Griffith. The year was very successful all around for both the '86 officers and the '87 officers, Mr. Dixon noted. Freshmen! Will they ever walk faster? Irene Niewenhuis says as she besins to walk them to their next class durins Freshmen Orientation. Time for a new tree, some of the Student Council members seem to be sayins as they put the tree up in the Commons. Working on the minutes of the last meeting is 1987 Officer Gretchen Market, secretary, while Brian Foldenhauer, president; Russ Edwards, vice president and Irene Niewenhuis, treasurer, watch to see what she is doing.

Graduation 115 Football season 'a success' The 1986 football season was defi- nitely a success, according to Coach Dick Luebbe. Luebbe thought that the Homecom- ing game was the team's best game when it drowned Hastings 16-0 during a continual deluge of rain at Memorial Stadium. A strong point of the team was that it played with great desire and concen- tration, especially on defense, Luebbe noted. This was proven when Nate Crow and Todd Chinn were named All-Confer- ence and were in the Omaha World Her- ald Top 10 for tackling. Scott Hammons was also named All-Conference and was in the Top 10 for rushing. Seniors Steve Barnes, Donnie Maho- ney, Tim Goc and Todd Cutler and Ju- niors Steve Hughes and Bob Struebing were awarded all-conference honor- able mention at the letter awards ban- quet.

The team won 18 games and lost 5. According to Hegi, the highlights of the season were beating Grand Island on their home court, winning the confer- ence tournament, winning the district tournament and beating Lincoln North- east at State. When asked if a home court advan- tage helped to win district competition, Hegi replied, Not really. We were a traveling team. However, the crowd and band were definite assets. The team won district battles to go on to the state tournament. Its first game was against Lincoln Northeast which was won. The team went on to play Lincoln East and lost. They placed third at State. Hegi said that overall quickness al- lowed them to be one of the top back- row defensive teams in the state. Anoth- er strong point of the team was Sandy Schaefer's dedication to setting. Jami Duranski's experience playing with the United States Volleyball Asso- ciation Junior Regional Team and Pam Demuth's and Gretchen Markel's off- season dedication also benefitted the team, Hegi added. Seniors Jean Hembd, Duranski and Demuth were captains for the team. When asked who the most im- proved players were, Hegi commented that on the JV level, Marie Srb was. On the varsity level, Markel was most im- proved. Hegi's favorite thing about her team was, The close unity we had as players to players and players to coaches. They were very open minded and willing to approach me with concerns and ideas. Hawaiian attire, enthusiasm and support helped win the district finals against Fremont.

Volleyball 121 Experience shapes boys team Nine players returned to the boys tennis team and six of them were letterwinners. According to Coach Gary Duranski, these players were, the best total group of ath- letes that I've ever had in terms of athletic ability. The returning lettermen were Jason Parker and James Lowry, seniors; John McPhail, junior and Chad Hunzeker, Steve Scheidegger and Chris Roth, sophomores. Duranski hoped to win every dual with each player making a goal to do as well as he could. This goal almost was reached as the team lost only one dual to Kearney. In the Greater Nebraska Conference, it placed second. At the state meet, the team placed third. Duranski commented that the team's only weakness was the amount of time that the players spent on the game this summer. Its strengths were good athletes, good skills and experience.

The team was ' young and inexperienced, but they made a lot of progress during the year, and had a lot of fun, Coach Bart Bartholomew said in assessing the performance of the girls golf team. All members of the team improved their individual games, Carrie Reiff and Jill Siekmier, team members, added. According to Bartholomew, Siekmier was the best player on the team. This was her third year on the team, and she had more experience than the rest of the squad. Three of the team's toughest meets were complicated by bad weather. Even the Greater Nebraska Conference meet was cut short. As Siekmier commented, We played in the pouring rain, and they only made us play nine holes. The golf team just missed going to state this year, according to Siekmier, but she was selected for the individual competition. She was the second place qualifer out of ten who qualified. She competed against 60-65 of Nebraska's best girl golfers and said the competition was pretty tough . One of the team's strengths was its willingness to work and learn, Bartho- lomew said. They were a fun team who could laugh at their own mistakes. The girls were very enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to next year. he concluded. Team members were Beth George, senior,- Jill Siekmier, Carrie Reiff, Shelly Nielsen and Beth Anderson, juniors; and Jenny Fraser, sophomore.

Girls Golf 125 Boys CC individuals stronger f f here were some stronger in- dividuals this year, but the overall strength was less, Boys Cross Country Coach Ron Callan commented about his season. We lost two, 2-year lettermen who would have been juniors this year,” he explained. There were seven runners on the team. They were Nate Bach, Brian Beck, Dan Cyza, Steve Shallenburg, Chuck Strong and Craig Weisser. According to Coach Callan, Strong was the leader of the team. He was a school record holder and has four of the top 20 times run on the course. When asked which runner he thought had improved the most, Coach Callan answered, Dan Cyza. He had de- veloped into a high-level, quality run- ner.” Callan said the Greater Nebraska Conference was their toughest meet. The top four cross country teams in the state were there. Regarding the season, Callan said he was very happy with the individual efforts and improvements. He added that he would have liked to have had a more successful team record. The two senior leaders, Strong and Weisser, were the team's strength, ac- cording to Callan. The team's main weak- ness was lack of experience. Coach Callan commented that run- ning is not a game, like basketball or vol- leyball. He said running is a sport and, although the runners are a team, it is more individualized. Running challenges the individual's strength, ability and stamina, he added.

Boys Cross Country 127 Two seniors ‘backbone of team’ In its first appearance at CHS, the girls cross country team proved to be a success when each girl took at least five minutes off her original time by the end of the season, according to Coach Bob Hopp. Paige Parker and Lisa Bradley were the backbone of the team,” Hopp said. Another key to our success was that the girls got a better understanding of how to run in cross country meets, Hopp noted. Under the leadership of Seniors Bradley and Parker, the underclassmen were inspired and encouraged to do better, he explained. Hopp felt that each week his team faced stronger competition, including previous champions, and competed well against these teams but did an es- pecially outstanding job at the confer- ence and district meets where the girls ran their fastest times. With CHS being the only Class A school without a girls cross country pro- gram available last year, some seniors approached Hopp about the possibility of starting a team. He helped the girls by talking to the board of education and it approved the idea. The decision of whether the pro- gram will be continued still has to be made by the board. However, Cliff Hopp, athletic director, recommended the continuation of girls cross country.

Girls Cross Country 129 Boys’ basketball conference best Having had one of the youngest starting lineups in the conference with one se- nior, two juniors and two sophomores did not stop the boys roundballers from having a successful season. One of the team's biggest accomplishments was earning the conference champi- onship crown outright and having a perfect conference record defeating Beatrice, Hastings, Kearney, North Platte and Norfolk who went on to be state champions, according to Coach Al Schnabel. Besides winning conference, the team was rated throughout most of the season and finished tenth in the Omaha World Herald's final regular season poll. “These were quite tremendous feats, considering the number of quality teams last year, according to Schnabel. Last year's team was a good shooting team with an average of 50% from the field. This was boosted by Scoring Machines James Lowry and Steve Scheidegger who were leading scorers. They were aided by John McPhail who led the team in assists, Schnabel stated. On the flip side, Dan Cyza, McPhail, Lowry and Scheidegger were considered the top defensive players. Lowry and Joe Erwin were the team’s top rebounders. “Everyone contributed in this phase of the game. Some did this by working hard in practice every day. We had some non-starters that were positive leaders. We look- ed to James and Steve in games,” he explained. With all of the team's accomplishments came some individual awards as well.

Boys Basketball 131 Girls BB shows desire to win A tremendous desire to win, good ef- fort to the last second, the ability to react to special situations, quick guards who contributed points and for- wards who played beyond their ability were the ingredients of a successful season, according to Girls' Basketball Coach Rich Young. The varsity team finished the season with 11 wins and 8 losses while the junior varsity squad ended 10-4. I feel the team did as well as could be expected. We won the close games but had trouble with the top teams in the state, Young commented. Coach young felt that the team leaders were Junior Sandy Schaefer and Seniors Cindy Scholl and Jean Hembd. Scholl and Hembd were also captains for the team. Playing Norfolk in the last game of the regular season and winning 60-32 was our best game, the coach noted. young explained that the girls played well together and the contest was quite dif- ferent from the girls' overtime win in their first game with the Panthers. Another good game was the Grand Is- land game in districts. Young commented that, It showed the girls’ desire to win. We were down by as many as 15 points and came back to go into district finals. The Discoverettes defeated Kearney in Kearney to share the Greater Nebraska Con- ference crown with Kearney. young remembered that this was the toughest game of the season. Summing up the season, Young said, The girls showed a tremondous desire to do their best in the last four or five games of the season. The effort during districts could not be topped by any other team. In the beginning of the season, the girls did not always play as a team, but they did pull together toward the end of the season and it showed!

Girls Basketball 133 Boys’ swimming mark 10-year best {fit was the best record the boys I had in 10 years ' Coach Paul | Sanderson commented in dis- cussing the year’s edition of the swim- ming team. There were 12 girls and 17 boys and three managers on the team. There were two meets which were tough, Sanderson added. One was the meet against Hastings and the other was against Lincoln East. Both of those teams finished in the top 10 in the state. The boys' team’s strength was their depth which means they were all aver- age swimmers. There was not one all- powerful swimmer. They won the meets more by number than strength. The girls' strength was senior leadership, accord- ing to Sanderson. The weak area on the girls' team was the inexperience of new swimmers. The boys' weakness was the lack of a swimmer who excelled in all events, the coach added. Donnie Mahoney accounted for the most points on the boys' team. Captain Beth George led the girls' team. Sanderson said that he was happy with the season overall. He then added the team could have been improved by working harder. Six divers attributed to the scorings. They were Carrie Reiff, Joni Kinzer, Kerry Hicks, Stefan Penas, Mahoney and Scott Flash. According to Mrs. Karen Hoops, diving coach, the season overall was very successful. There was a good show of effort,” she added. Three divers went to state. They were Flash, Mahoney and Hicks. All were seniors. To qualify for state, the dives had to have a degree of difficulty of 20. Flash and Mahoney had around a 23 degree of difficulty. Hicks just made it in with around a 20 degree of difficulty. Some of Flash's and Mahoney's dives were the forward double somer- sault, the back one-and-one-half somer- sault, reverse one-and-one-half somer: sault and the inward one-and-one-half somersault. Flash was the only one to place at state. He placed tenth out of 43 divers. The swim team listens to Coach Sanderson as he tells them about their next meet and what they can do to improve.

Swimming 135 Wrestlers pin down 6-7-1 mark Class A wrestling has become a very competitive sport, according to Coach Rick Benson. A grappler cannot wrestle just three months a year to be a state winner. He should participate in spring and summer tournaments, lift weights, attend wres- tling camps and even play in different sports. But the most important idea is to al- ways be working to improve, he said. Because December 20 was the last time the group wrestled as a squad, a combination of injuries plagued the team as well as lack of off-season train- ing, Benson lamented. He said the sophomores improved the most from all the experience they gained during the season. When asked about wrestling at state, Benson replied, State is just like any other meet and one has usually al- ready wrestled the person before, but one must still have confidence when en- tering. He also said that his team was ready physically but not mentally. There were five wrestlers with more than 20 victories. They included Marc Finley (26), Scott Hammons (26), Roger Fendrick (25), Paul Finley (24) and Nat Patton (23). The six who qualified for state were Paul Finley (98), Nat Patton (105) and Doug Micek (155).

According to Coach Dick Luebbe, the leading scorers were Kerry Neumann, Jay Hegemann and Chuck Strong. Senior leaders were Strong, Steve Barnes, Pat Becher, Kurt Brink, Todd Chinn, Tim Goc and Craig Weisser. Luebbe said that the team's strength was the jumping events. These were the long jump, triple jump, high jump and pole vault. Luebbe commented that the track team had an excellent schedule, and they competed against the state's best. Luebbe was happy with the season overall. He said the goal of the runners was to work to the best of their abilities and improve each week. He thought that they accomplished this. There were five athletes who quali- fied for state. They were Hegemann, Neumann, Strong, Weisser and Joel Schafer. Hegemann placed fifth in the triple jump and Neumann placed fourth in the pole vault. Luebbe said they all competed well. Kurt Brink concentrates on pullins ahead of the Hastinss runner.

Girls'tennis 143 Boys’ golf-'Wait 'til next year!’ “They're young and want to be good!” Coach Bart Bartho- lemew said was his favorite thing about the boys golf team. With many early-season meet cancellations due to rain and even snow and some-lower-than-expected finishes at big meets, the golf team seemed to take a rocky road to its end- of-the season success. “Our fourth place finish at State surprised a lot of people, especially since we played so poor at conference and were slow in peaking. But it didn't surprise me — I had confidence in those boys ' Bartholemew explained. He also said that depth was a strength of his team. At the pre-season meeting, more people than he ever expected were present and, therefore, cuts had to be made. “When it was unsure if Ryan Conrad could play at State, we had someone right up there ready to compete ' he said. This year's varsity included Senior Casey Conrad, Juniors Doug Cross and Dan Saalfeld, Sophomore Greg Hutcheson and Freshman Ryan Conrad. The Junior Varsity consisted of Junior John McPhail, Soph- omores John Clemons and Scott Arndt and Freshmen Jeff Luebbe and Matt Colder. Although youth seemed to be a weak point, Bart came right back saying,“Just wait ‘til next year- I'm looking forward to it.” Dous Cross warms up before a dual. John McPhail watches his ball drop just short of the hole. 144 Boys' Golf Casey Conrad starts the meet off right with a perfect drive. Gres Hutcheson putts one in to lead the team to victory. Dous Cross concentrates and puts his final putt right into the hole Sports 145 Shieks, Trojans top intramurals Last year some very competitive vol- leyball and basketball sames could be found that were not listed on the little yellow sports schedules. Intramural volleyball and basketball were both available to students not out for a sport during that season. They each lasted 6-8 weeks and games were on Monday or Tuesday nights. Intramural volleyball was new this year and, according to Mrs. Karen Hoops, sponsor, was very successful. “It provided an opportunity to so- cialize and have fun. There was equal participation by both boys and girls which is different from basketball, she noted. This year, however, a group of se- nior girls broke the tradition of intramu- ral basketball being strictly male orient- ed. The team, That's Cool, did not win any games but had a very good time do- ing it, according to spectators. The winning team in basketball was The Shieks made up of Brendon Dia- mond, Steve Barnes, Tim Goc, Scott Kral- ik, Jason Parker, Todd Chinn, Steve Dush and Todd Cutler. In volleyball, The Trojans were win- ners. Members included Matt Mueller, Casey Conrad, Robb Aerni, Jeff Morton, Joe Erwin and Rob Pavel. r The Shieks show pride in ownins the intramural basketball championship crown.

Index 157 Autographs ttr ' .T he excitement has come to an end-or has it? For seniors, this may be the end of their high school fun, but it may be the beginning of some- thing much more wonderful and exciting. It is their time to set a place in life for themselves and to cause other explosions. For sophomores and juniors, well, they have to decide on their own how to liven up CHS and make their own mark on it. They have to cause their own explosions - their own WHAM! And that all begins next year ... nother year has gone by, and it was a great year. We would like to thank all of this year's staff members, es- pecially the section editors, Brenda, Deb and Shelley, who did a terrific job. All of them helped to put out the best annual this school has ever had. We would like to thank the photography studios, Faul, Frieze, Senior and Anderson, for providing all of the senior photos. Thanks also go to Steve Kodad and Chris M. Chebuhar at The Telegram for providing some of the sports photos, Jack Martin for supplying the sophomore and junior mug shots and Anderson Studio for many of the group shots. Mike Diffenderfer, who was our representative from Walsworth, was a great help in getting this book to look the way it does. He was al- ways there when we had a question. Thanks also go to all of the teachers. Their patience and coop- eration with us was a great advan- tage. We think that you will enjoy this book as much as all of us enjoyed putting it together. Co-Editor The production of another great book has come to an end. A lot of work, creativity and plan- ning has gone into this book and we're proud to present it to you. We’d like to thank and give credit to everyone on the staff. We had a lot of good times to- gether. For those continuing the tra- dition and excellence of the annual, we wish you good luck. Special thanks go to Mr. Adams. He helped us keep our sense of hu- mor and supported us through thick and thin. Co-Editor The Yearbook Staff Editors-in-Chief ...♦......................
