The bluejay cured disease, gave hunting and fishing trips, and warned against enemies. The f T - jay, noted for its great boldness and noisy habits, can be furtive and quiet when occasion demands. The Apache particularly tell a long cycle of tales showing his rivals. Bluejay ad- ventures depict it as a hero and as an important character to outdo his rivals. Q 5 Y g if.

There's more to a bluejay than any other crea- ture. And as for command of language - why you never see a bluejay get stuck for a word. You may call a jay a bird. Well so he is, in measure - be- cause he's got feathers and don't belong to no church, perhaps, but otherwise he is just as human as you be. A jay can cry, a jay can laugh, a jay can feel shame, a jay can reason, plan, and discuss, a jay has got a sense of humor. If a jay ain't human, he better take in his sign, that's all. Baker's Bluej y Y M k T ' After a contest in 1923, the former Hilltoppers adopted the Bluejay. Dr. Mi- chael Crofoot, then a grade-schooler, submitted the winning entry. The doctor chose the bird because it is good looking, brave and cunning. He commented that the Bluejay embodies Prep's spirit and ideals. He thinks the Bluejay definitely has meaning for a school in the '70's because of the tradition behind not only the school but behind its mascot too. Prep never gives up, but will fight till the end. Dr. Crofoot concluded, 'Tve seen Prep lose, but never disgraced. Q 'N- 3 4 Q K - ,, f A .a,, M,-4 X, i zmwlww- The Bluejay is not just an ordi- nary bird.

Big Red Coach Bob Devaney shouted praises for the Junior Jays at a sports ban- quet. Assemblies communicated: General Mo- tors told of new inventions. Random Sample sang the Christian Youth Movement's mes- sage. Prep showed concern for fellow-man by Operation Others. Prepsters expressed a desire of winning in sports through comical pep rallies. The proposed Amendment 12 brought out Prep's unity. Happenings were people and ideasg serious, interesting, still others nothing but a mock or for fun. But those are Prepster's experiences and at Prep that is what happened. Y + 3 Energetic Effort Produces Exciting Homecoming Homecoming happened when energetic people worked to produce an exciting event from game to queen crowning. On October 29, a Thursday night encounter against Central initiated Homecoming events. Crushing their of- fensive moves, Prep won over the driving Eagles 35-7. An energetic 25 man Homecoming Committee, under the direction of Greg Upah and Larry DiBiase, separated into seven groups, which covered a large range of activities. Juniors constructed the only Homecoming float from thirty-two dollars of materials. Students donated seven dollars, and the Student Council lent the rest. Forty hours of planning, gathering materials, and con- struction by 30 energetic juniors resulted in the float, a replica of the state of Nebraska, with the inscription, '72 Do It Again. Parading the float on the football field, the juniors displayed the confidence and spirit which followed the team to every game. Spirited sounds of activity filled the Blackstone Ball- room Friday night. Matt Oberst and Steve Gradowski, mas- ters of ceremony, observed the mood in the eyes and move- ments of everyone present. The excitement of the event built up, intensified even more with songs played by Bumpy Action, and climaxed with the announcement of queens at the intermission of the dance. Following the dance, many students attended individual parties held at their homes. Spirit at all the varied activities achieved the one goal of making Homecoming an exciting event. Scrupulously filling each hexagon, Dave Kush proves Prep spirit can pass the test of time-consuming monotony that the float demands. Supporting the heavy weight around the football field at halftime, mem- the juniors constructed the float from bulky two-by-fours, the replica of bers of the junior class parade the only float for Homecoming. Because Nebraska requires fifteen students to carry and balance it. 14 Jay Junior t Along with this member, who practically swallows his microphone, other members of MBumpy Action tire every couple by midnight.

An anti-pollution law stopped the bonfire, but the students still prepared for the pep rally. All the work seemed useless when on pep rally night the faculty suggested dropping the event, because first quarter exams followed Homecoming night, and so the administration killed the pep rally. Students disagreed with this sudden policy, but the event remained dead. Tri-captains Jon Rouse, Golden Zenon, and Tim McGuire, and their queens, Marcia Wesley, Ann Sibbernsen, and Mary Holewinski. All eyes focus on Homecoming candidate Marcia Wesley as Dan Ver- million escorts her to the stage before she is proclaimed a queen. Winded and weary, many couples, like Chuck Conboy and his date, find rest and refreshment a welcome change after a night of dancing.

They also instilled spirit and pride into the athletic teams, which resulted in a state championship in football. However, because spirit waned, only two Pep Rallies occurred during the basketball season. Still, when held, they brought out the originality and wit of the students at Prep. Each rally concluded with the usual contest of cheering Two Bits between upper and lower classmen and the singing of The White and the Blue. What did the students enjoy most about the Pep Rallies?

Some participating seniors, juniors, and sophomores felt it a waste of time. Fr. Daniel Kenney, SJ, retreat coordinator, commented that although some students cooperated, many thought the free week nothing more than a vacation. Students attended open sessions at Prep, troublesome closed ones at O'Donnel Center, Waverly, and Columbus, and individual retreats with Prepsters living in the Audio Visual Room or the Jesuit Residence. Two freshmen spiritual orientations, scheduled at dif- ferent times other than retreat week, turned into a new experience for most freshmen, who found that the two days broadened their formerly limited religious insight. Another venture into deeper religious insight, the walking retreat, turned out to reign among the better attempts. Mr. Gary Giombi, SJ, brought his coed retreatants closer to God through his different but effective methods, such as sharing lunches and using nature for meditation. Leaders expressed various themes during the spiritual renewals, but all weaved around the concept of love. i 'Y' Q 'x 4 1 X QW Silhouetted bv a stained glass window, Steve Crozier participates in Fr.

The varsity football team had taken State, the gymnastics team won the Metro Championship, and the banquet featured University of Nebraska Head Football Coach Bob Devaney. Representatives from television stations KMTV, KETV, and WOW, and from the wire networks UPI and AP, joined the festivities. Other guests included sports announcer Joe Patrick who refereed a full house at Anthony's Steak House. Among special award recipients, Tom Brown won a Headhunter's Award for the most de- fensive football points. But the fall sports banquet found a rival in the winter banquet held in the school cafeteria. Guest speaker Jerry Dugan, golf pro at Highland Country Club, among the num- erable speakers at the banquet, helped honor the players and coaches. Although Prep had no State Championships, the winter athletes still had reasons for celebrating. Coaches bestowed many letters and awards. Jack N eary won the Thomas P. Duggan Memorial Award for swimming, Jeff Roach received the Thomas Bisbee Memorial Award for wrestling, and Tim George accepted the Thomas Clark Memorial Award for Outstanding Junior!Senior Wrestler. .T W 5K3 ' .. ff .

John Rainaldo, SJ , decided to hold the first BASH, an auction to earn money for scholarships and general use. Many items volunteered by alumni and friends of Prep went up for bidding on both the silent and oral auctions. Among the many items sold bidders saw a trampoline, a water bed, several scholar- ships, a bathing suit, and even dinner with the Jesuits. Participants also received dinner and cocktails during the oral auction to ease the tense bidding atmosphere.

Musical Sounds Resound at Bluejay Assemblies How do you absorb a sharp blow? Make a cake. Mr. Jack Berkman, a General Motors representative, showed how baking a cake still had a place in modern technology. By combining a mixture of mysterious chemicals, the cake formed into a very tough, resilient foam product which ab- sorbed hard blows. Then the scientific magician pulled an- other rabbit out of his hat - this time a 260 pound one, on a sled consisting of three discs and a vacuum cleaner sup- porting big Bob Drexel on a cushion of air. To end the dem- onstration, Mr. Berkman exhibited a laser beam used to visualize sounds on a screen. The beam, projected through a mirror, reacted to the vibrations of various taped songs. Sophomores and juniors held individual assemblies at which they discussed courses for the next year. To help students start thinking about college, Fr. Thomas Bannan- tine, SJ, presented a College Information Assembly for jun- iors on the day of the National Merit Examinations. The only thing that could make a crowd of 800 Prepsters come alive brought to close an extraordinary year of assem- blies. Consisting of four male and three female vocalists and musicians, Random Sample stopped at Prep while touring the midlands. The folk singing group which came from San Diego, belongs to an organization called Campus Life. A division of Youth for Christ, an organization sensitive to teenagers needs, Campus Life supports nearly 1300 high iw school clubs.

Happenings Wait Until Dark Movie Highlight of HSoph'7 Stag The events called stags, originally formed to tighten re- lationship between faculty and students, turned into nothing more than social affairs, due partly to lack of interest among attendants. Except for the sophomores, who held a fun night with food and a movie, students neglected their school even as a place for informal get-to-gethers. The transformation and decline of stags, in the opinion of two Student Council officers, stemmed from the laziness and lack of concern found throughout the school. Finding a night when all students could attend, and getting entertain- ment to please all those involved, also proved problems. The topics, Prom and the dress code, further lowered par- ticipation considerably because they satisfied only the few who attended the first meetings and chose them.

But during the first two weeks, many held back think- ing others would give. Then Tim Dunn and other seniors called a meeting to hear of everyone's accomplishments, making it known that the organization needed more. Soon, nearly all students found ways of helping out. Organizing a hunt, Jim Wingender contributed an array of fowl. Also, seeing that the students collected over 8300, two contrib- utors donated S5500 each. Parishes and agencies secured names of needy families. A Mass in the school gym blessed the articles before they proceeded to their destination.

Dutkiewicz explains the Prep story at the High School Information Night, on Communication Common in Potpourri Potpourri sums up, through miscellaneous events, the essence of Happenings. Happenings may occur an- nually or on the spur of the moment, but most important they concerned the students. Events like Amendment 12, where students made a cooperative effort in the attempt to save the parochial school system, the Masses cele- brated for various reasons, and other projects similar to Creighton University Information Day and High School Information Night seemed typical of the mood and flavor of Happenings. But the elements of potpourri had a com- mon denominator, all the events stressed communication. The subject matter differed and the channels of interchange varied, but communication remained the ultimate goal, and Happenings saw this goal realized. 4. ,fs I , an l 1 Starting another Lenten Season, Fr.

Held in Peony Park's Royal Terrace Ballroom on May 19, Prom occured through the efforts of co-chairman Greg Upah and Bill Armstrong. Larry DiBiase oversaw decora- tions, and Jim Kanouff showed slides of Prep students and his movie for t'Yellow Submarine. Dan McGee and Greg Mollner shared the Master of Ceremonies duties. Criticism over the Grand March and Royal Coronation prompted the Student Council to settle the problem with a senior vote. After tallying, the votes axed out the Grand March but retained the coronation. Crowned at that corona- tion, John Pogge and Maggie Troia, reigned over the 1971 Prom. Post-prom activities included dinners, parties and early Ascension Thursday Masses offered in Prep's Jesuit chapel by Frs. Bert Thelen, SJ, and Daniel Kenney, SJ.

PEX and New Concepts Modernize Prep English APEX English focused the department on student ini- tiative. Graduation required four years of English, but the APEX program allowed juniors and seniors to select their own courses from sixteen one semester electives. Stressing creativity, APEX gave students time for special projects during class, and, furthermore, Fr. Paul Thetreau, SJ, rearranged the English office into an English resource center providing a place for students to work on their special projects. Other contemporary ideas gave the department a face- lift. In their study of Crazy Horse, freshman constructed such things as a teepee, a plaster relief map, and a trail map drawn on rawhide. Holding all English classes on the second floor, north wing, provided greater departmental unity. Mr. Frank Majka, SJ, originally hoped to present college material in an unpressured university-like atmos- phere. This desire and overcrowded classes prompted Mr. Majka to experiment with his Nobel Authors class by con- ducting sessions in a revolutionary mode. When twelve ac- cepted the challenge, Mr. Majka had solved the problem of his crowded classroom. The group decided to meet in the Board Room, an informal setting which allowed intercom- munication. The group attended study hall during regular class period and met at night every week. ya 42 Jay Junior Checking up on student progress, individualized reading instructor Fr.

Father used many media when ed- ucating, but they all boiled down to a way to help others discover their voices, the joy of hearing and really being heard, and their unique gifts in a community of learners. He said these are difficult dis- coveries in a competitive, passive, let- the-teacher-do-it, make-it-happen society. Hels the happiest when a student says, Hey, look at this! Academics fff' Stress on Speech Props Accents Communication Speech teachers discarded the old method of teaching speech and allowed students to speak on topics of their own choosing. Gone were the personal experience speech, the bodily action speech, and the demonstration speech. Instead students explored their ability to organize and communicate their own ideas. Many students used slides or other visual aids to help them make their speeches more effective. Be- cause students gave speeches more often, they gained great- er experience in speaking. With a large supply of shoeshine materials, Frank Gulizia demonstrates how to apply polish while Dave Juarez admires the shine.

He had been a librarian at St. Mary's, Kansas, and worked in the reference room at Catholic University before coming to Prep in 1958. Prep started its library in 1920 with 8,000 books, but through the weeding process, only 500 of the original 8,000 remain in the library's 12,000 to 13,000 volumes. of ign- 4 N .

French and Spanish classes leaned towards the audio-visual approach to put the student in the right perspective for the language's use. German students relied solely on the M.B.M. lMade by Medgesb book for learning basic German grammar and the rules of the language. All modern lan- guage teachers not only had to teach their language but basic English grammar as well. Students obtained an ability to grasp the fundamentals of the foreign language after learn- ing their own native tongue more proficiently. Modern lan- guage study provided the students with an active knowledge of a foreign language and also gave them the discipline that is a most to learn and use such a skill. I'll tell you one thing - I wouldn't like to teach Spanish all my life, said Mr. Haime Moreno, SJ. Mr. Moreno. born in Spain, entered the Jesuit seminary in 1963 at Araujuez, Madrid. Mr. Moreno, who has a Masters degree in philosophy from the University of Madrid, has worked as a spritual counselor and a French teacher in Spain. He also once played as a member of Spain's team in the European Basketball Championship. Spending a year at Prep before beginning his theological studies, Mr. Moreno likes to talk to his students to learn about American boys and asks them for suggestions to improve his teaching methods.

APEX gained student interest, and grade averages of those juniors and seniors who took the courses rose or dropped accordingly. Most departments started the policy of exemp- tions. The school tried exemptions in previous years, but it had failed to gain faculty backing. To be exempted from a semester exam, a student had to maintain a minimun of 85 with an A effort, or a 90 with a B effort. Fr. Henry L. Sullivan, SJ, has always been known for his unique humor. An ability to handle students, and a dry wit made Father every- one's favorite Jesuitt Though Irish, Fr. Sullivan rarely changed expres- sions. Except for an occasional smile, he remained serious. Before starting his career as principal of Prep, Fr. Sullivan taught school in Cleveland, Kansas City, here at Prep, and Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. Fr.

Mr. Richard Flagg assumed the chairmanship of the depart- ment while continuing to teach senior courses. A new course, advanced analysis, shortened the regular analysis course into one semester and added a semester of college calculus for its second semester. Students received college credit at most colleges for a grade of 3 or better on the Advanced Analysis Placement Exam administered by the College En- trance Examination Board. For students less interested in mathematics, the department formulated a two semester course comprising the basics of Algebra II, but without Trigonometry included. Freshmen studied under a system of individual work which benefitted them greatly.

Teachers stressed Hlnductive Teach- ing,', by which students used primary and secondary sources to learn the reasons behind history as well as the actual course of events. New texts, movies, and a film trip to Tora! Tora! Tora! helped students to form their own opinions. Instead of lecturing, several teachers utilized field trips and guest speakers to stimulate student interest. A Modern Problems class toured District Courtrooms and the County Jail, Mr. Beckmann invited a friend to discuss conscientious objection to the draft, and World History stu- dents listened to guests speak on a variety of topics. A Social Studies Resource Center which students and teachers had hoped to set up did not materialize. Fr. John Schwantes, SJ, began teach- ' ing at Creighton Prep in 1963 as a scho- lastic. ln 1966 he left Prep to study theol- ogy at St. Mary's, Kansas, and later in St. Louis. During theological training he ex- perienced first hand the problems of the destitute by working with the Neighbor- hood Youth Corps in Omaha, at a reform school in Topeka, at a black parish in St, Louis, and at a clinic for alcoholics in Minnesota.

Juniors and seniors learned drawing, painting, and the history of art from Fr. Daniel Higgins, SJ, in the five-day-a-week course. Intellectual examination and prac- tical drawing experience for the bluejay artists began with the study of the cave paintings of prehistoric man and progressed to 18th century art which placed emphasis on proportion, impact, and construction. Class members used materials of highest quality. Students received one assign- ment a week in order not to stifle creativity by pressure.

Students also learned the basics of several other sports, interest varying with the seasons. Sophomores fa- vored basketball the most, though they also liked soccer, volleyball, handball, and floor hockey.

Academics 61 1 Students Find pdated Theology Courses Relevant Theology, required for Prepls Catholic students, has changed with the times. Courses dealing with adolescent development, modern problems, environment, St. Paul's sociology, and world religions, matched with innovative ideas and modern methods, transformed theology into more than just a religious reading course and for memorizing the finepoints of Catholicism. Theology, headed by Fr. Bert Thelen, SJ, aided the student in understanding how religion fits into his entire life, not just a fraction of it. Fr. Mark Niemann, SJ, believes religion gives man a way to live, not just something to do before you die. Students considered the revised theology program a great improvement, espe- cially the discussions pertinent to their own lives. Fr. B. Thelen, SJ Fr. M. Niemann, SJ Fr. D. Kenney, SJ Mr. G.

Student Council members utilized this opportunity by sponsoring sock hops, administering cheerleaders' elections and the ,71-'72 council elections, and distributing and tally- ing class evaluation sheets. Lack of student interest and communication killed many of the council's ideas, though. New found openness prodded the council to revolutionize the system of government and gave the council for the up- coming year leadership in May. Through this idea, the new council gained valuable experience in experimenting with policies and the effective methods needed for future leadership of the student body. -11 In an attempt to win votes for their cause, Steve Zukaitis, Bob Langdon, and Steve Lanspa slice the cake for their campaign, Organizations 67 Power Failure Fails to Debate again showed itself as a very 'tactive extra- curricular.

This yearls topic was Resolved: that the Federal Gov- ernment should establish programs to control its air and water pollution in the United States. Putting in about one hours work per night, the debators typed out quotations on cards and defined terms of the resolution. Prepsters fared better when they held the affirmative position since the United States has established few programs to control air and water pollution, leaving the field of study wide open for research and making it easier to present alternatives for pollution control. In January, the annual Prep Classic, sponsored by the Prep debators, brought together new personalities and new young talent from students of 34 schools in Iowa, Ne- braska, and South Dakota. To top off the event, a power failure caused a blackout in the school.

A plea for writers did not swamp the office with volunteers. Editor-in-Chief Rodney Kassmeier and Assistant Editor Steve Lanspa wrote the bulk of the March issue.

The unicorn is a mythical beast, noted James Thur- ber. Approximately a dozen students at Prep helped make the literary magazine, Unicorn, more than a myth. Collect- ing poetry and prose works throughout the school year, the members met about Easter to sort out and decide upon the articles of poetry, prose, short stories, and artwork to be published in the magazine. Since beginning in 1965, Unicorn has developed into the primary literary magazine at Prep. Possessing talent from the number one and two writers in the World-Herald writ- ing contest, Pat Falcon of Mercy High and Greg Herek of Prep, the magazine definitely had better quality. Written in the style of e.e. cummings, the staff passively disregarded capitalization in the poetry which contained thoughts on happiness and loneliness, and covered a large spectrum of human emotions. Short stories centered around restaurants and myths. Distributing the magazine in the second week of April, staff members Jim Bendorf, Greg Herek, Jim Laferla, Bob Leahy, Bill Lindsay, Dan McCullough, Ed Mickells, and Tim McNally obtained constructive criticism from moderator Fr. Robert Fitzgerald, SJ. According to Fr. Fitzgerald, Unicorn showed Grass roots power, meaning that all staff members shared the responsibilities. Organizations 87 Yearbook Staff Sacrifices to Gain Top Quality Attempting to achieve perfection, the 1971 Jay Junior established five major goals: improved picture quality, necessary telephone service, improved copy quality, in- creased honors, authority and benefits, and improved public relations. Striving to attain these goals, Editor-In-Chief Bob Irwin, hampered by an untrained staff, initiated a new organization of authority. With the largest staff in the book's history, he appointed seven executive editors who had as- sistant editors and an editorial board. A staff also came into existence to make progress an easier achievement. Members struggled to make the book a truly student pub- lication. With the exceptions noted on the credit page, for the first time the staff completed all the work by them- selves. Increased responsibility did not dull their standards but raised them, for they greatly increased interviewing, posted more '4Mirrors of Prep for the student body, kept better office and supply records, made up written policies for the first time, and even final editorial approval came from the Editor-In-Chief. The staff emphasized a jour- nalistic education by displaying many current trade maga- zines, photography books, and various high school and col- lege yearbooks. This display, plus other decorative efforts, made the office more agreeable for the long hours spent in it. Rewards for the hard toil included the yearbook banquet, free trips to Lincoln and to Missouri, picnics, and basket- ball games. Beginning small, the yearbook grew in mem- bership and achievements. But just as important it has given each member a new unique bond with another Prepster. Since no one else will listen to what he has to say, Editor-In-Chief Bob Irwin finds it necessary to talk to his lamp instead. 88 Jay Junior JSP .. ,f Pushing for perfection, Mark McCart scrupulously checks the office bulletin board to find the exact spacing for banner headings. s' .-3, Q5 16.315 Q, L1-,sgggf ' .

For the second straight year, the Bluejays won the National Di- vision of the Metro Conference and captured the State Championship. Following an excellent second-half performance in the win over Rummel, the Jays encountered Bellevue, with the number one state ranking at stake. Joe Dervin led a tough Bluejay defense in the hard-hitting struggle. A blocked punt by Dervin set up the first score of the game - a Jon Rouse plunge. Bellevue tied the game just before halftime with a long touchdown pass. Late in the third quarter Joe Dervin's vicious tackle forced a Chieftain fumble. Kevin Kimble picked up the ball and raced 18 yards for a touch- down. After Prep purposely gave Bellevue a safety late in the fourth quarter, it was up to the defense to protect a four- point lead. Bellevue marched downfield and threatened to score, but with only nine seconds left, Bill Krebs inter- cepted a Chieftain pass, killing the rally and preserving the victory. Unquestionably number one, the Junior Jays registered a surprisingly easy win over South, and then faced a tough Ryan team. Late in the fourth quarter, trailing by one point, Prep faced a Udo-or-die'l situation with the ball deep in Bluej ay territory. Quarterback Jon Rouse engineered a superb sustained drive, capped by Joe Dervin's touch- down plunge, giving Prep the victory. Another tremendous defensive performance gave the Jays a shut-out win over Westside. In the crushing defeat of Abraham Lincoln, Coach Don Leahy started to alternate his regular quarterback Jon Rouse with Mike Pirtle. Coach Leahy continued the policy of alternating quarterbacks throughout the rest of the year. Prep's defense recorded its second shut-out in three weeks in conquering Benson. In the game Mike Coyle kicked a 36-yard field goal. Boys Town proved to be a stubborn opponent, but the Cowboy defense couldnlt stop Jim Wingender. 'fWings'l rushed for 256 yards and four touchdowns, The win gave Prep a 9-0 record and the National Division title. Played in rain and drizzle on a sloppy field, the Metro Championship game, a close, hard-fought battle, ended in a Tech victory. With the game tied late in the fourth quarter, Tech trudged down the field, slowly gaining yards on the tough Bluejay defense. With under 20 sec- onds left, the Trojans moved into field goal range, and booted a field goal, giving Tech the win and the Metro Championship. Despite the loss of the Metro title, Prep retained its number one ranking and reigned as State Champion. Jim Wingender and tackle Tom Kaspar gained individual honors by being named to the All-Metro team. The 1970 Bluejay football team exhibited tremendous teamwork. There were some outstanding individual performances, but no one player proved himself the key to the Jay's success. A tremendous running attack and excellent depth sustained the offense. A tough defense stymied every opponent, The Bluejays pre- vailed as number one, State Champions.

Dominic Merola, who learned to play soccer as a boy in Milan, Italy, aided the captains on the offensive at tack. Goalie Jim Cunningham sparked a strong defense.

One of the top performers in the state on the still rings, Kurt Mackie proves his versatility by also competing on the highbar. Breezing through its ten dual meets without suffering a defeat, Prep's gymnastics team emerged as the most successful in Bluejay history. Prep's closest decision, against South High, gave the Bluejays a seven-point vic- tory while they protected their Metro and District Titles and advanced to the State Tournament. Team leader Gene Mackie had already completed two outstanding years of gymnastic competition for the Blue- jays as the best gymnast in the state. Qualifying for the State Tournament in five different events, Mackie com- peted in tumbling and placed first in three events - high- bar, still rings, and parallel bars. He also placed fourth in floor exercise and earned his third consecutive all around title. Five other Prepsters also performed well in the tournament. On the sidehorse, Mike McCarty and Dave Ehrhart finished third and fifth respectivelyg Dave Schulte tied for fifth on the parallel bars, and Kurt Mackie realized eighth place on the rings. Frank Longo qualified on the trampoline but failed to rank in the top ten. Qualifying in every event, Prep placed higher than any other Omaha school and placed third in the state behind Lincoln Northeast and Lincoln Southeast. ,Q ,- 5 T 5 e if 4 J,A, - K -111 ,. f gyms yy, -Qrxfizgjg. .

Athletics 105 Erratic Bluejay Netmen Bag Metro Tournament Rigid training spurred the tennis team to win their first seven dual meets, but competition proved too stiff in each of the last three duals. Coach Martin Hornig counted heavily on seniors Mike Sobczyk, Jim Kennedy, and John Ryan for leadership. Sobczyk played the top singles position, and Kennedy and Ryan occupied the number one doubles slot. Scores compiled two seasons gave Kennedy and Ryan a remarkable dual record of 15-1. State competition brought little notoriety after the yearls highpoint in the Metro Tournament. Defeat did not haunt the Bluejays until Sobczyk lost in the finals of the singles competition. Although Ryan's late season slump forced Kennedy to team with junior Joe Cleary for the dual competition, the new combination met with success. Their efforts merited a victory in the finals.

Practice under Father Ted Kalamaja, SJ, taught the members to run long under cold conditions. After a loss at Boys Town, Father encouraged the team to jaunt back to Prep. By beating the previous season's best time, seven runners showed the gradual effectiveness of their training. Joe Gasnick turned in the best time of 9:28 which bettered the previous season's low by 52 seconds. The team ran best in the Metro Invita- tional Tournament finishing sixth of ten teams. Trying to rouse his runners' spirits, Father Kalamaja points out Prep's circling cross country course before the meet against South. Athletics 107 Battling Bluej ay Cagers Inconsistency plagued the 1971 Bluejay basketball team. Winning their first four games, the Jays looked like solid contenders to repeat as Holiday Tournament Cham- pions. Prep downed Bellevue and Benson, and then moved into the semi-finals of the tournament. But Abraham Lincoln avenged an earlier loss to the Jays, killing the hopes for another Holiday Title. Unable to regain their momentum, the Bluejays lost four of their next six games. The Junior Jay cagers bounced back with an excellent performance against Ryan. Steve Salerno paced the Bluejay attack with 18 points and added nine rebounds. But the team still could not build up mo- mentum, losing four of their next six games. Entering the District Tournament with an 11-9 record, the Jays hoped to display their early-season form and advance to the State Tournament. In an exciting, hard- fought encounter, the Rummel Raiders emerged victorious, eliminating the Jays from the tournament. Despite the disappointments throughout the season, filled with last-second defeats, the team worked hard and never quit. Proud of his squad, Coach Thomas Brosnihan stated, I never wanted a team to win more.

A lack of depth, however, prevented the team from enjoying an outstanding season. Captains Jim Bathen, Jack Neary, and Jim Kennedy led the team which consisted of only nine varsity swimmers and four divers. For the first time, Coach Lynn Groffis swimmers practiced every day at the new Y.M.C.A. pool downtown instead of at Creighton University's pool. In the Metro Meet, Steve Raynor won the 400-yard free style event, and John Jenkins finished second in the 200-yard freestyle. Jenkins, who broke the school record for the 200-yard freestyle, teamed with Wally Longo, Steve Raynor, and Jack Neary to form the 400-yard relay team which finished third in the Metro and fourth in the State Meet. The best Jay showing in the State Meet came in the 400-yard freestyle: a third place finish by Steve Raynor.

South's victory prevented the Jays from advancing to the State tour- nament and gave the Jays a 13-5 final record. Excellent pitching, the Jays' strong point throughout the season, led them to five straight conference wins. Thomas Jefferson broke the winning streak with the heaviest offensive assault against the Bluejays during the season. A battle of conference leaders developed as Prep, with a 8-2 record, met undefeated Burke. Jay fireballer Denny O'Do- herty held the Bulldogs hitless for eight innings. But Burke managed a hit in the ninth and then scored the game's only run on a throwing error. Finishing second in the conference, the Bluejays ad- vanced to district competition. In the first game, Denny O'Doherty saw another no-hit bid ruined by a seventh inning single in a masterful 2-0 win over Central. Then came the fateful game with South. Each team had only three hits, but South, aided by two Prep errors, won 3-0. Pitchers Denny 0'Doherty and Bill Krebs combined for a 9-3 record. O'Doherty posted a sparkling 0.74 earned run average with 69 strikeouts in 56 innings. Adding support to the Jays' tough pitching tandem, John Jacobsen and Joe Robino also pitched well. Catcher Jim Sledge headed the Bluejay offense with a .358 batting average. any ,A .5-1' 1... fi- -Q 94,4 s 3 Q 4 as-+ 4 v-'bi ' ae , -5 S' N 3 :af 'f av P if' 1 wa iw ev ' JE' - ' u ', Q jg. 3 . 2 0 . i- 9 4 l bln Q 0 - 1 ' 0 T 6 1 7 inent 0 3 Af .V fb , f'z' . ww-in v - , - JL' . . raw ,I 'elif A .

A lack of hitting strength presented the biggest problem to the Bluejays. Leo Smith, Ted Stessman, and Steve Cannon pro- vided strong pitching. First baseman Ray McAuliffe and Co- captain Pete Kazevicius as the shortstop held down the in- field. Co-captain Tom Shearman, moved from first base, led the outfield corps in right. Trying to form the best team from the 30,270,240 possible fielding combinations, Coach Mackie had to juggle the line-up frequently during the season.

Led by the steady play of Roach and junior Jeff Roth, the .lays tied for first in the National Division of the Metro conference. In the Metro conference meet, Prep finished second behind Bellevue, paced by Roth, the meet's low shooter. A fourth place finish by Roth led the way to a third place finish in the district meet. Progressing to the state meet, the Jay golfers finished in seventh place. Coach Mil- ler, impressed by the way his young team held its own against stiff competition also beamed with pride about the junior varsity team. One junior and four freshmen com- prised the junior varsity squad which breezed through its schedule with an undefeated record.

Four other Bluejays also qualified for the State competition: John Badura and Bob Drexel in the shot put, Dave Schulte in the pole vault, and Joe Gasnick in the mile. In the Peru State Invitational Meet, Prep, led by Tom Rog- ers, held a slim lead going into the last event.

Weekend athletes again found refuge in Prep's expanded intramurals program. Through the work of seniors Bob Glaser and Tim Dunn, basketball enjoyed more popularity than any other sport. Over half the students competed in three different leagues which featured All-Star games and a playoff for the league championship. Those who did not find basketball to their liking found their choice in either hand- ball or boxing in its first year. Prep's intramural program insured that those not on the varsity teams still had the op- portunity to compete in some organized sports. in 0 Many freshmen participated in the intramural basketball program pri- marily for enjoyment but also to sharpen their basketball skills.

Self-identity caused many heartaches but also brought much joy. Seniors tried to enjoy youth's excitement and freedom but tried also to adapt to the adult's refinement and respon- sibilities. Seniors realized that Prepspirit and friendships are not isolated to a period of time. The bluejay ideals can be metamorpha- sized but will still remain at the core, giving the senior the balance to enable him to form 'thisl' world. frm lbw S Xxx S I 11 ia l., ,,, --1-ii FA k,VV it ,'f' W Q- f l,., .VV ,Q V. t mmf fy E wmv A 'EVE mg? :xii -5.2- R t We M aww .. aw iw Q, 1, Wit l ,,, me . gf? 1 1 .W J ar A 3' 'Rig' ,ggi -W Smivrs wr' X47 Ceremonies and Excitement Conclude Four Years Two hundred and three Prep seniors lined up to re- ceive their diplomas on June 1, 1971, at the Civic Audi- torium Music Hall. Graduation began with a concelebrated Mass at St. John's Church with Fr. John Snyder, SJ, as the main con- celebrant and Fr. Eugene Dutkiewiecz, SJ, giving the homily. Master of Ceremonies Tim Dunn led brunch in Creighton University's Brandeis Student Center. Break- fast followed with speeches by Tom Kaspar and Fr. Sny- der. Graduates received many scholarships and awards at the 8 p.m. ceremony, in which Ed Mickells expressed in his valedictory address the theme Before you try to change, find your head. ' He also mentioned the student's responsibility to society. Topping the evening, graduates attended several parties where they rejoiced in highest ' ecstasy that their high school years had finally come to an end, and that they had been spent at Prep. Between bites of grapefruit at the graduation brunch, Wally Longo in- quires about Mike McCarty's plans for partying that evening. V Maintaining Prep's tradition of many scholarships and honors earned, Fr. Congratulations come to graduates from many sources.

We joined together to create the best book possible. I thank the entire staff for their dedication. For Ted Langen- feld, Mike Becker, Mark McCart, and Ben Kava here is the applause that you deserve for those many extra hours of pushing for the Bluejay. To Mitch Murphy an extra special handshake and thanks. And my appreciation is heartily ex- tended for support and opportune moments of encouragement to Mr. Seminara, my adviser and friend. Approximately thirty-six books have preceded this one and yet this one is unique in more ways than one, for Prepsters have met other Prepsters and even have become best of friends. Working as a team we feel is indeed unique. The views are ours put in the clearest and most professional way possible. We ap- preciate the faith of those who believed in us. Now all we can do is sigh a long sigh, maybe feel a little sentimental and know that the book will be left on the shelf for years to come and many students to come - to look, admire, and criticize the production that took much work, many tense moments, and in a very real sense - love. Inspired by our theme of Bluejay, we have exposed ourselves to you. We hope you are pleased with our efforts and will join in the enthusiasm of the Bluejay.
