Y 0 Happenings With the fast-paced calendar of ac- tivities, it was an eventful year for the students, and a busy year for Happenings. In a reversal of roles, the unusually smooth- running Homecoming fell and almost collaps- ed in it's planning stages, while the annually unstable Prom progressed with few problems and no deficit. Senior activity in the basket- ball marathon spread to the other three classes, drawing them into the Operation Others project. A walkathon for hunger further involved students into community life. A new tradition of a Christmas Midnight Mass enjoyed a mass attendance of over 5003 national touring groups Sugarloaf and Brownsville Station played to packed gymsg hypnotist Jay B. Zee held the student body spellbound with the antics of his mesmerized volunteersg and the montage of Happenings continued to play an important role in the social life of the social Prepster.

Strong leadership generates success Following the tradition of years past, Prep started out Homecoming with the threat of extinction. However an enthusiastic group of Prepsters led by Dave King, Rick Sulskis, and Paul Wachter dismissed this threat and turned Homecoming '72 into the most successful of many years. A pep rally peaked spirits for the A.L. football game the following night, in which a large crowd witnessed the Junior Jays dis- play their finest offensive effort of the season, ripping A.L. 42-20. ff X-w 'Q 'U A 'K 1.1 'A 44- 1. ,. 4 v H ,f 'uf W 1 x 1, f'r ry ,Wg ,JV aw. 4, Q- , 4 v ' Q ,W V: 1. .

Tri-Captains Mark Donnelly, John Moore, and Rich Wilwerding crowned the queens: Kate Lyons and Theresa Laughlin, both of Marian, and Julie Howe of Duchesne. The Tri-Captains then took their newly crowned queens for the traditional dance.

Project coordinator Senior Joe Lowndes and Father Daniel Kenney, SJ, began laborous preparations early in November for the Christmas-time project. Innovative fund- raising activities included senior-faculty wrestling matches at the Operation Others pep rally and a forty-eight hour basketball marathon. The basketball marathon, sponsored by the senior class, was perhaps the most in- genious method of raising funds. 11,500 points were scored and pledges Qper one hundred pointsb amounted to about three hundred dollars. In addition, Omaha area businesses were solicited for contributions and students collected canned goods for the cause. The Operation Others Mass presented a chance to display the food and presents collected, and an opportunity to gather the forces for the sorting and delivering tasks set for the following days. Outmaneuvering a weary Fred Hron, fellow senior Mike Flynn adds yet another field goal during the third day of the basketball marathon. Surrounded by a crowd of hungry juniors, Prep's backyard barbecuer, Father Eugene Dutkiewicz, SJ, whips up a batch of ham- burgers. During an exciting portion ofa Matt Helm film, sophomores drag an overinvolved classmate back to the floor. Oblivious of Mr. John Campbell, SJ, and Mike Higgins' conversation, Jack Harwood concentrates on eating his cheeze pizza and hiding his cigarette. Class stags enrich school atmosphere Achieving better rapport and unity between students and faculty, stags proved an important asset to Prep life. Although Seniors never managed to organize a stag, the other classes did and greatly benefitted from their gatherings. Poorly attended Frosh Fun Night started off the school year. The Freshmen, however, reorganized for a second fun-night and a late winter stag, both of which were successful. During the spring, the sophomore class united for a highly active food and film stag. The Juniors, in turn, organized a picnic with the faculty just before summer vacation. Although few in number, stags still remained a very enjoyable Prep tradition. Crouched in a corner, Retreatmaster Mr. Ed Kult, SJ, listens to the opinions given during a discussion period. Pausing along the tracks during a strenuous walking retreat, Fr. William O'Leary, SJ, ponders a short scripture passage. , ,,,.,,, f fL'f' Retreats encourage spiritual evaluation In the underclassmen retreats, organizers kept the size at about twenty students, thus allowing those participating a greater chance to open up and give spon- taneous reactions to the topics discussed. Special efforts by Mr. Pauly, SJ, Fr. Kenney, SJ, and Fr. Jim O'Leary, SJ, organized the bulk of the retreats. The success of retreats appeared obvious as enthusiasm and interest among the students grew in the program, mostly due to the fact that retreats catered to the in- dividual. Also of essence was the cutting down in their size, enabling the spiritual coordinator to obtain a closer rapport with those attending. U' Q in Q ,o W ,, U wi Je W ,t ,..

Under the influence of Jay B. Zee's hypnotic trance, Seth Powers gives the sign of peace to an imagined attacker. Assemblies afford welcome diversion Besides providing a break from daily monotony, assemblies also offered entertain- ment and inparted knowledge. An assembly sponsored by the student council attempted to show, through represen- tatives, the differences between the Democratic and Republican Parties. A presentation by Nebraska Medical Center nurses encouraged the anti-abortion laws, and members of several midwestern tribes performed ceremonial dances and explained cultural distinctions. The year ended with two appearances by Dr. Jay B. Zee, psychologist and noted hyp- notist. The first presentation displayed his remarkable memory abilities using self- hypnosis, and tried to unveil the mystery that surrounds the science. At the second appearance he performed his nightclub act, using students as the victims. His spirit far from broken, a disgruntdled Bob Koory awaits his turn to cross examine the Republican representative during the Political Day assembly. 62556230 - Mr. Robert Tillman, SJ, alias Tillman the Terrible, applies a nose hold to senior Werner Dziuvenis during the Operation Others pep rally. A bewigged Marty Conboy nervously sells his miracle hair restorer during a pep rally skit. Pep rallies amuse, enliven student body Pep rallies presented to students a two- sided coin. While to most they peaked spirit for a game, to some they merely meant shorter classes. For the most part, pep rallies organized by Pat Woster, Rick Sulskis, and Denny Lee relied almost entirely on the imitations and acting of Pat Woster. In an effort to raise money for Operation Others, wrestling matches between three faculty members and three varsity matmen provided a different and most entertaining pep rally. Senior grapplers Pat Waring and Randy McKay easily defeated their opponents, Mr. George Kocsis and Mr. Lynn Groff, but senior heavyweight Werner Dziuvenis found the competition of Mr. Robert Tillman, SJ, too much and fell. Basketball had its fair share of pep rallies too. Perhaps the most memorable, the Central-South pep rally, brought outstanding performances from Pat Woster, Mike Rock, Bill Martin, Marty Conboy, the Prep Row- dies, the N.A.D.S. 1National Association of Dissatisfied Seniorsb, and Fr. Daniel Laughlin, SJ. Pep rallies also focused upon spring sports, as the track, soccer, and baseball teams held a pep rally to explain the highlights and strategies of their games. Despite some student apathy, the in- creased number of pep rallies reflected the student body's willingness to support their team and their school. Towering over the cameraman, George Kocsis strives to spark school interest in his baseballers during the ex- perimental spring sports pep rally.

The student council dance committee did an excellent job of securing only the best groups, some traveling from Minneapolis, Detroit, Kansas City, and Lincoln to play at Prep dances. Again this year, the nationally known Brownsville Station performed an exciting concert. Everyone in attendance enjoyed the music, the group, and their antics. Many of the groups commented on the size and enthusiasm of the audiences which sometimes reached 1000 persons. Known for presenting the best entertainment in the area, Prep dances attracted teens from all over the Omaha area. nn an 05 fvqw ffuvelw 0 - Q W 4,4 fa' Q .l'v K' L 15 Warming up before the crowds arrive, the drummer for Atlantic provides a driving rhythm for the group's pulsating music.

University of Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne and World Herald sports writer Don Lee headlin- ed the speakers roster. Lou Sempek accepted the Westside Kiwanis award for football. It appeared as if the winter sports would not hold a collective banquet until final ef- forts saw the banquet materialize. Emcee Pat Gillespie kept the mood light and the festivities going. Although there were no state champs, there was still much to celebrate in the many monograms given for the winning seasons by basketball and swim- ming. Outstanding achievement by John Kinnear won him the Thomas P. Douggan Memorial Award for diving. Obviously enthused with the evening's activities, Fr. Ted Kalamaja mulls over his speech. , , , . Planning engineers successful BASH B.A.S.H. maintained its successful stan- ding, and combined with the car raffle, helped to ease Prep's financial squeeze. Having only one month to sell the goal of 1600 books of car raffle tickets, the students rallied to a close finish and obtained their free day reward. B.A.S.H.'s silent and oral auctions drew interest as people bid on objects varying from Japanese silk screens to live horses. Most objects went for more than face value as bidders felt charitable. B.A.S.H. is another way of raising funds to keep the tuition costs low and the standard of education high at Prep. During a brief respite from his role as B.A.S.H. coor- dinator, Fr. Rainaldo, SJ, discusses the possibility of his winning the car with Stewart Sobczak. Squeezing the prop in a modified version of the fish bowl, Mr. Campbell, SJ, contemplates bunnie-cide as he envisions a pot of rabbit stew. mvf' y i 1- '1- .-9' 4 + V if 4 tllpili 'list 44 Q +4 4 PQ 2 Area students unite to aid the starving Coordinating Creighton Prep's involve- ment in the walk for hunger, Junior Steve Brownrigg added several hundred Prepsters to more than one thousand Omaha area students already attending. Starting in the Aksarben parking lot at eight in the morning and following a twenty- three mile course, 850 treckers finished the walk-a-thon at staggered times throughout the afternoon. Many ran the entire course while others couldn't endure the strain of walking the distance. Pledges raised over fourteen thousand dollars for the hungry of the world, and the hunger from the walking kept the marathon's purpose on the minds of the walkers. 4 ZW! of i 4+ 4, , ,+f',H 4 visa 4,444 1 -5 .

T 1 N37-is 'ff L. Prep family focuses on broader communication As always, Potpourri covers the left over odds and ends of the Happenings section. But unlike before, it encompasses a wide variety of subjects. Even the standard, school Masses, numbered more than in previous years. Masses celebrated subjects as wide-ranging as the new school year, Operation Others, peace in Viet Nam, and the last day of school. Perhaps the most outstanding of these masses, the Christmas Midnight Mass, ex- ploded a planned attendance of fifty into nearly five hundred. Also increased in number, the family-son breakfasts brought a closer bond between school and family. A large assortment of miscellaneous happenings include High School Orientation Day, parent-teacher meetings, course selec- tion day for the sophomores and juniors, and the big brother work by seniors enabling the incoming freshmen to adapt better to their new surroundings. Happenings show the complete student involvement in extracurricular activities, of which potpourri is just a glimpse.

Tide rushes ln, captlvates lntense Prom crowd The cumulation of weeks of effort and planning, Prom '73 emerged as a smooth and flawless production. Tide rolled into the Blackstone Ballroom with its parcel of easy-to-dance- to tunes, and kept the crowd moving until midnight. Gathering slowly, nearly one hun- dred couples flooded the dance floor by the night's end. Adding to the confusion, high- spirited Sam Dodson and his entourage covered the dance floor many times with their jumping gyrations, wreaking havok among slow-dancing couples. Calm was restored for the coronation, as King candidates, John Fitzgibbons, John Murray, Carl Falcone, Mark Donnely, Rob Schald, Werner Dziuvenis, Dave Juarez, John Moore, Rich Wilderwing, and Pat Wooster escorted their dates down the aisle followed by Prom King Marty Conboy and his date. Things livened up again after the traditional slow dance. Although semi-formal, most preferred the penguin-like garb, and combined with dinner and tickets many students had to dig deep for their Prom expenses. Annoyed with formalities, flower girls Anne Spethman, Cathy Bayer, and Christine Spethman find themselves estranged amid the confusing world of grown-ups .

Thomas McKenneyp stool-is over as the new president, and the school adds ed many new teachers to its active roster,2i1iE cluding two women. Additions were made our the APEX program to better adapt it to' Prep's changing teaching methods. Resignations by secretary Betty Scolla and English teacher Mike Roux caused gaps in personnel soon filled by overlapping work loads. Succumbing to popular demand, Prep reinstated a typing class, and the math department expanded its computer courses. The administration enforced tighter dress code restrictions, the theology department experimented with new teachings methods, and the maintenance crew gave the old gym more school pride as the talented artisans slapped on a couple coats of white and blue. Changes in present courses, and the addition of several others brought the school closer to its goal of college preparatory. as E xX - New courses, teachers continue English tradition As usual, an apt roster of teachers filled the English department. Heading up the staff, Mr. Ed Spethman continued in his ef- forts to stress the fundamentals of grammar, while teaching his sophomore class. Joining the department, former Notre Dame Principal Sr. Gene Marie Waiss taught freshman English in addition to her accelerated junior class, and student teacher Joe George helped out in the sophomore classes. The altered and expanded APEX program offered several new courses in- cluding Fantasy, which delved into the imag- inary worlds of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and Twentieth Century Drama, a course on the plays and playwrights of the last half cen- tury. Fielding questions from his Shakespeare class, Mr. Tom Schatz listens intently to a student's interpretation of Hamlet's untimely demise. ft n '- 5 M f S Fr. P. Thetreau Mr. J. Chedester Sr. G. Waiss Mr. T. Schatz Mr. M. Brennan Mr. M. Hornig Head of the English department and the Athletic Director, Mr. Spethman graduated from Prep in 1948. He attended Creighton University for two years until after much delibera- tion he entered the Society of Jesus. Mr. Spethman obtained an A.B. in Philosophy and a Master's in Educa- tion from St. Louis University. He left the Jesuits in 1962 after eleven years. Before coming to Prep in 1971, Mr. Spethman taught in several out-state high schools. About Prep, he reflected, Prep is still shaping mature and intelligent human beings. Creating a masterpiece for his film course, Tom Tritz directs the action from a precarious perch high above the Elkhorn River. Social studies jell student awareness While relying upon the past, the social studies department changed for the present. Expanded sociology courses handled recent topics, while the bulk load, required American and World history, took on the dif- ficult job of the past. The Awareness Workshop, a unique com- bination of sociology, English, and theology, had many guest speakers discussing aspects of the world today. Students also worked several days a week at different community projects to give students a better grasp on life around them. Camera-conscious Kevin Nolan, Mike Farho, and Todd Igel contemplate the serious side of history. In an ever-changing subject like history, a teacher must constantly study to keep ahead of his students, as demonstrated by a lounging Mr. Beckmann. wwammw Miss T Edwards Ml' V. BeCkITlfil1I1 Mr P Strlttmatter, SJ Mr Ed Kult, SJ Sole owner of the Reardon Oil, Fly Swatter, and Bubble Gum company, Mr. Tom Reardon also finds time to teach history to his rapt pupils. Born in Pueblo, Colorado, he spent his childhood in Omaha and in 1955 became a Prep alumnus. At St. Louis University he received his A.B. in Philosophy and a masters in Political Science. A Jesuit for eleven years, he then decided to become a lay teacher. Mr. Reardon attributes Prep's success to the great faculty interest shown, especially by the Jesuits. An observer at the Wounded Knee incident talks to an Awareness Workshop class on war, violence and the lndlan situation. Christened the Monkey Priest by children hospital patients, Fr. Daniel Kenney, SJ, thrives to see the best in people. Graduating from Marquette High school in 1950, he entered the Jesuits that same year. At St. Louis University he grabbed an A.B. in Philosophy and his Masters in Educa- tion. Teaching from 1957 to 1963 he then made his tertianship at Decatur, Illinois. In 1966, Fr. arrived at Prep to head the theology department. Fr. Kenney has provided the thrust for many human projects, among them the Big Brother and Operation Others programs. 'W Innovative concepts alter theology class Experimenting with a new approach, the theology department rotated teachers between classes each semester to expose the students to varied teaching talents. The over- all result appeared beneficial as new teachers Mrs. Malina, Mr. Gibson, and Fr. Leiweke added their own touches to the new idea, Perhaps the most innovative approach, however, came from Mr. Bill Pauly. Instead of meeting three times a week, interrupting discussions as they just begin, one of his classes came in one night a week for three hours. The retreat-like results more than compensated the students for any in- convenience on their part. Seeking to improve her student-teacher relationship, Mrs. Diane Malina works over a homework paper with an eager junior theology student. Listing the advantages of taking an extra theology course, Mr. Bill Pauly, SJ persuasively urges sophomore Greg Elston to think it over. Computer courses tailored to students Expanded computer courses demonstrated the computer's future potential in everyday life, while satisfying some of the demand for increased computer classes. The course taught by Fathers Haller and Wor- man, SJ, and the IBM-System 3, Model 6 computer had so many applicants that some had to wait a year. Encouraging advancement in math, the department allowed several pupils to go on to advanced Algebra I study. Filling out the curriculum, the required Geometry, and the advanced courses of Algebra II-Trigonometry, Analysis, and Calculus kept the students interested, and their slide rules busy. Mr. R.

Orienting the incoming freshmen to the sciences, Mr. Lynn Groff and Fr. Ray Strange, SJ, introduced the rookie class to Physical Science. With Mr. Paul Bangura teaching the advanced Biology course, Mr. Greg Hansen handled those novices to Biology. The more advanced courses of chemistry and physics, taught by Mr. George Kocsis and Mr. Ted Lo, enjoyed a high enroll- ment with few problems. Streamlining their courses, and lengthening class time, the science depart- ment enabled their students to obtain a higher degree of familiarity with the subject, without an oversaturation of talk. As Mr. Bangura delves deeper into the technical aspects of genetics and heredity, Kevin Moore reluctantly reaches to fill another notebook. Apparently pleased to find a guinea pig, Vic Zirilli checks on Fr.

Remodeled art class caters to individual Still offering the same wide range of creative classes, the art department modified by changing from the usual year-long courses to semester classes. By this method students could interchange desired courses, so in effect receive self-styled training. While Fr. Higgins recovered from a heart operation, Mr. Les Bruning took over the art teaching chores. With the second semester Fr. Higgins resumed teaching, only to suffer a relapse, and Mr. Bruning finished out the year. Since Mr. Bruning won't let him use a paint by numbers set, Eddy Haddad grudgingly falls back upon his natural artistic talent. Fr. D. Higgins, SJ Mr. L. Bruning W Physical Education stresses sports to sophomores Mr. T. Jaworski We like to let the student work on his physical fitness by participating in different physical activities. This statement by Mr. Tom Jaworski summed up the philosophy of his classes. Expounding upon the fundamentals, Mr. Jaworski continued his all-around sports policy with activities ranging from gym hockey to handball. The organization of the classes differed from previous years however, in that Mr. J aworski held sole reign over his sophomores instead of sharing the work load, and the enlarged classes made controlling the students that much more of a job. Vying to smash the ball into oblivion, or at least past the second baseman, sophomore Mike Rouse unleashes his mighty swing at the small target. Born in Havana, Cuba, Mr. Gerald Machado's high school basketball team became the Cuban National Champions. Attending the Cuban Military Academy for four years, he graduated with the rank of second lieutenant and an A.B. in Science. When Castro came into power, Mr. Machado and his family fled to Mex- ico with the help of the Mexican Em- bassy. He received his masters in education in 1969 at UNL. Looking at his four years at Prep, Mr. Machado observed, discipline helps to make Prep such a fine school. Fr P Dougherty, SJ Fr. J. Auer, SJ Mr C Conrad Mr. G. Schissel, SJ The Spanish teachers used comic books to stimulate in- terest ln the basics, although sophomore Mark Sullivan Just likes to look at the pictures. 52 ,L Languages impart substantial insight Rising above the banana is yellow stage of foreign languages, the French and Spanish classes attempted to impart prac- tical knowledge. Not only would a class learn the language of a country, but also its culture and geography. The phasing out of the German classes effected a rise in the enrollment of the other language courses. In addition, the shrinking of the staff caused crowding in some classes, but the personal attention given by the staff overcame this problem. Unable to comprehend the lesson, two puzzled Spanish students try to gain Fr. Dougherty's attention. Sophomore Cliff Ehlers peers over Pat Scolla's shoulder as Pat calls out the bingo numbers. The numbers, read in Spanish, serve to increase the games difficulty and the students' vocabulary. M.. Without a doubt, the nickname of Fr. Prep belongs to Fr. Charles Kanne, a man who has been in the Jesuits for the past fifty-six years. Not only has he taught at Prep, but from l913 to 1917 he attended Creighton High School, the forerunner of Prep. He has fostered many methods of teaching in his Latin classes, notably his 'fopportunity classes. Ignoring his handicaps, Fr. Kanne has remain- ed popular and effective as a teacher throughout his years at Prep. Spotting an unattentive Latin scholar, Fr. Hindelang halts his talk on ancient adjectives for a dose of disciplinary action. Latin lures away freshmen scholars Considered a dead language by many, Latin overcame this myth by capturing near- ly one quarter of the incoming freshmen. Blocked in his efforts to teach Greek, Fr. Ted Kalamaja divided his time between third and fourth year Latin classes. Figuring out homework turned into a problem for Fr. Hindelang's sophomores, as he assigned the work loads in Latin. Completing the staff, Fr. Charles Kanne continued to teach freshmen and his after-class-hours opportunity class, mandatory for habitual test flunkers, saw yet another year. .-1:2245 ' NWZWZI :E f 2' bf 4' f Zz f A Q I 4 at Fr.

Surrendering to the student demand for a typing course, Prep set up non-credit classes taught by Brother Marc Campbell, SJ, rotating students each quarter. Another course to rise from the ashes, music apprecia- tion, joined several other credit courses taught by band director Mr. Kriski. Taking over the vacated college counselor job, Fr. Bill 0'Leary acted as the new Father College. The handling of grounds not already under the control of Walt Flint, came under the jurisdiction of Fathers Fischer and Dieter. As head of the Creighton Prep library, Fr. Peterson's chores ranged from heading several groups of students each period, to the many administrative duties required to keep the library functioning. His assistant, Mrs. McNeil, handled the enormous task of cataloging, repairing, and checking out of the books. Dividing his attention between the keyboard diagram, the manual, and Brother Campbell, Vince Runco seemingly breezes through his class assignment. 5 Personnel shuffles rock administration Personnel changes shook the administra- tion, as Fr. Tom McKenney took over as President, and Fr. Mark Niemann acted as the new assistant Principal. Fr. Paul Thetrau and Mrs. Helen McCart continued the task of balancing Prep's delicate budget. In the alumni office, Fr. John Rainaldo concentrated his efforts on the B.A.S.H. drive, raising over 41,000 dollars to keep rising tuitions down. The masked man in the halls knownonly as Mr. G., worked the alumni office, public relations and trebled as athletic trainer. Mr. Gillespie was usually seen as a blur, whisking between these three demanding jobs. Fr. Eugene Dutkiewicz, SJ, otherwise known as the new Mr. Everything, handled operations varying from student teacher relations, course scheduling, extra- curriculars, the school's spiritual life, and the daily calendar, to outdoor cooking. ws , ...ff Fr.

Older gymnasium sports new color A large crew of students and full time janitors, under the watchful eyes of building superintendent Walt Flint and maintenance chief Ray O'Brien kept the rooms clean, the equipment in running order, and the grounds clean and well kept.

Over-all, it was quite a year for organized activities at Prep. While not mere- ly after4school clubs, the divergent Prep organizations attempted to open up new channels of communication, involve the students in community life, and add to the students' responsibility. Working furiously to handle the hungry halftime crowd, Mr. Tillman hunts up Denny Lee's change. Food sales, raffle shed C-Club's debt The combined results of the C-Club car raffle and the Tilly dogs sales paid off the deficit on the Brother Michael J. Wilmot Center for the Performing Arts, otherwise known as the new gym. As moderator Mr. Ed Spethman donned the role of his predecessor, the monogram club expanded its interests in increasing its concession stand sales and held a one-on-one tournament to raise towels. Cheerleaders' yells ' 66 99 ignlte Prep Speed Breaking away from their stereotyped yells, cheerleaders experimented with new cheers. Instead of limiting audience participa- tion to merely clapping and an occasional two bits, both fall and winter cheerleaders took suggestions from the crowd and even turned the floor over to unofficial groups. The end result of these tactics appeared in the ex- uberant, shouting Prep fans that filled the stands to capacity even when the teams were losing. Razzing North's marching ROTC group, cheerleader Mike Mullin expels another sharp barbed witticism. Breaking the unusual calm, a headless bluejay mascot, Mike Davlin, brings the crowd to life. Determined leaders unite shaken council The senior student council held the uni- que distinction that not one officer served in his elected position. Two officers withdrew from Prep before school started, and presi- dent Marty Conboy moved down to vice presi- dent position to better handle an outside job. In an attempt to salvage the council, treasurer Dave Juarez took over as president, and two representatives, Rick Sulskis and Jim Boscardin, moved in to the treasurer and secretary posts. Despite these setbacks, the new council attempted to carry out their carefully con- structed schedule, organizing such successful ventures as Homecoming, the Big Brother project, and Operation Others. The junior student council took over the reins in January and with its advantageous head start, immediately began a slew of new projects. Quality dances, more organized Masses, and assemblies added to the long list of their accomplishments. ln a political assembly engineered by the student council, Prep alumnus Jerry Hassett addresses the student body on his campaign for City Council. ,WMM ,la qy mw, M 3252 Vlrinsmim, Engrossed in a problem during an informal council meeting, student council president Phil Roberts focuses his attention on a representative.

Prepmen chorus offers band vocal accompanlment In an attempt to enlarge the membership and increase their popularity, the band launched several bold maneuvers. Led by Mr. Randall Kriski, their first step included the purchasing of uniforms to improve their im- age, and then the painting of the bandroom. Expanding their field of play, the band not only served as a pep band, but staged a series of concerts and a tour. Starting practice in the summer, the 32 musicians attempted to improve their marching abilities. When game time finally did arrive, patterns too difficult for a band their size typified the marching routines, so the results were often comical. Probably the biggest addition to the Prep music department came with the renewed in- terest in the Prepmen chorus. Headed by Sister Gene Waiss, the Prepmen hummed along with the band in their numerous com- bined recitals. Despite its rough-hewn appearance, Kriski's Kritters developed into fine per- forming musicians and singers. Providing the music for the graduation ceremonies, Mr. Kriski directs the band's season finale. Reykjavik contest profits chess club Capitalizing on the Fisher-Spassky match, the chess club attempted to recruit in- terested underclassmen, but, the loss of key players weakened the elub's knockout punch. Repeaters Tom Jamieson and Gerry Piccolo, however, returned some power to the front boards. Chess club president, Tom Jamieson summed up the team's major problem as un- skilled reserve boards. Despite this obstacle, the team went on to finish second in city and likewise at state, falling both times to arch- nemesis Central. Junior Jay Cady attempts to stump chess master Jude Acers in a simultaneous chess exhibition. Pouncing upon Gerry Piccolo's blunder, Tom Jamieson attempts to parlay it into a checkmate.

Moderator Tom Reardon attempted to let the more ex- perienced speakers go out on their own, while he concentrated on the upcoming debaters. The novice squad found unexpected talent in the form of juniors Todd Igel, Gary Wells, Dave Delehant, Mike Horn, and the numerous novice debaters hitting the podium for the first time.

Senior Ralph Sweatte proved a team leader in his dramatic interpretation category. His rubbery ex- pressions and easy manner won him several medals. Todd Igel in individual, and Larry Drahota and Dave Delehant in dual extem- poraneous speaking, rounded out the compact squad. Although not yet stablized as a true com- petetive factor in tournaments, the forensics team managed a fine record. .-mga 5 ' ff?

A joint co-operation between cast members Joe Miloni and Jim Lowe filled the director's chair. The fine performances of Lowe, Miloni, Mike Mullin, Mike Hannah, Pat Woster, and Werner Dziuvenis received excellent audience response, while four girls from Duchesne, Mary Schatz, Maureen Tighe, Susan Bogan, and Margaret Knowles, per- formed with almost flawless professionalism. The fine stage crew of Tom Jamieson, Mark Parker, and Craig Bendorf contributed greatly to the success of the production.

The extroverted actors of The Cat and the Canary squeeze together for a cast picture between acts. Gun in hand, a resolute Joe Miloni protects Mary Schatz and Margaret Knowles from the murderer. Jay Journal staffs see productive year Coming out with three consecutive issues of the Jay Journal, the almost exclusively senior staff made a strong debut. But fear of censorship, extremely scattered staff involve- ment, and growing senior apathy soon saw the staff deteriorate and finally collapse altogether. Early in spring, the juniors took over the dormant Journal and with clockwork con- sistency churned out three issues. Their last issue gained favorable attention through a baby contest where students had to match the baby pictures with the now adult faculty members. Sports writing by Pat Pirtle, and Pat Woster's feature articles coupled with the cartooning ability of art editor Tim Potter and later Editor-In Chief Joe Brudney round- ed out the well-balanced staff. Denny Lee fill- ed in wherever necessary as writer, photographer, developer, and occasional Editor-In-Chief. Despite the three-month lag, the staffs produced six respectable issues, thus re- establishing the school newspaper. Attempting to train senior Mark Adams in the fun- damentals of printing, Editor Denny Lee removes a finished product from the fixing bath.

K A , .aw A Junior squad shakes early slump, finishes strong Recovering from a slow start and hand- icapped by inexperience, the large and dedicated squad led by coach Tom Schatz and team captain Jim Adams went on to win their share of the intercity title. An A rating on the previous year's book, a greatly expanded ex- change program, and a photography contest did not sway this tenacious team of terrific typers, prolific photographers, and a dynamic dark room personnel from their ultimate goal and state championship hopes. Inexperience, costly mistakes, missed assignments, and faulty equipment plagued the team's offense. But the nearly all rookie squad steadied their unsure position to make a strong finish in their unusually long season. Junior starters Kevin Nolan, Mitch Murphy, and Gary Wells, in their defensive editor positions, and Steve Heyden in offensive photography, cleaned up in awards, all four winning the coveted Fr. P. J.

Clubs, not school-run, included Junior Achievement, junior and senior intramurals, and numerous CYO organizations, which found a large percentage of Prepsters among their ranks. Sodality staged an unusually strong comeback, as numerous groups sprang up among the juniors and seniors. Booster clubs returned to Prep in the form of the Prep Rowdies, a predominantly junior organization, and the NADS QNational Association of Dissatisfied Seniorsj. Poster club made a strong comeback after a near dormant year, while the science department expanded their Future Scientists of America club. Organized activities that don't quite fit in the category of clubs but deserve credit cover a wide variety of topics. The Colorado ski trip and a visit to Mexico continued a young tradition. Involved in outside jobs, students need a chance to help othersg different projects throughout the year presented the opportunity.

The reason Prep is known for the unusually fine crop of athletes to come from its halls isn't just because of the players or coaches, but an at- titude toward sports that Prep gives to all who play for it. Out on the field it seems as if it's Prep against the world, for not only do the players have pressure of their own team's success spurring them on, but the added responsibility of the school's winning tradi- tion. Adding to this tradition, this year's crop of jocks copped state crowns in tennis and golf, along with metro trophies for freshmen football, freshmen basketball, and cross country. Soccer turned into a recognizedvar- sity sport, only to lose it's state crown.

As expected, mistakes resulted as a new coach instituted a difficult system to an inexperienced team. In the season opener against Rummel, the Jays made numerous errors yet retained their poise in a come-from-behind 15-13 win. A late fourth quarter field goal by Mitch Murphy nullified a 13-12 deficit. The follow- ing week, however, Bellevue stifled the J ays' offensive attack. Although the defense played well, Bellevue's powerful offense managed to score three times for a 26-0 shutout. The Bellevue loss rendered Prep an un- derdog against highly regarded South, but the defense, led by John Moore, Dan Peter- son, and Mike Brusnahan, forced mistakes that the offense capitalized on. Prep came away with an impressive 18-15 victory. A dormant offense proved disastrous in the following weeks, as the Jays lost decisions to Ryan and Westside. The team broke out of the slump, though, with a decisive 47-28 Homecoming victory over A.L. On a cold, wet night in Benson stadium, Prep succumbed to the Bunnies for the first time in thirty-one years of intense rivalry. Mark Donnelly and Dave Anderson provided a spectacular aerial show, but the Jays fell 24-13. The team managed to salvage its final two games to post a winning record. Unlike the error-plagued contests earlier in the season, the finale against Boys Town aptly showcased the improvement the team made under Tom Jaworski. On the sidelines, linebacker Rob Shald works over the next defensive maneuver with head coach Tom Jaworski and line coach Brother Michael Wilmot. Victories catalyze .V. 's momentum Getting off to a slow start, the junior var- sity football team began rolling midway through the season and won their last five games. After an opening win over stubborn A.L., the Jays hit a snag during the following two weeks. An embarassing defeat came against South, who shut out the Jays. A I4-12 victory over Bellevue turned the season around, as Coach Robert Miller stressed consistency and endurance.

In the following weeks, however, spirits were dampened. The Jays absorbed three frustrating losses to Tech, A.L., and Rummel. In each game, the Jays had several chances to win in the closing minutes. After the Jays posted a winning 2-1 record at the Holiday Tournament with wins over South and Benson, the Jays hit a horren- dous weekend slump. Against Westside, dis- mal shooting by the Jays opened the door for an easy ten-point victory for the Warriors. The following night, Lincoln High put down a second-half Bluejay rally and won going away. A set starting lineup and a new offense proved to be the factors that turned the whole season around for the Jays. They reeled off seven consecutive thrilling victories against some tough opposition, including three top- ranked teams. Against Ryan, Mark Donnelly repeatedly pumped in baskets for a personal high of twenty-five points as the Jays came up with an important win. Two final victories over South and T.J. sent the Jays rolling into the district tourna- ment. In the first round, Prep ran away with a forty-seven point win over South. Number one Boys Town stood between the Jays and a state tournament berth. The Jays opened the game with an astounding lead of twelve points in the first quarter. But poised Boys Town whittled the lead down and eventually went ahead. The Jays stayed close, but could not come up with a rally, and Boys Town put the Jays on the sidelines for the rest of the season. Firing beyond the reach of a Ryan defender, Terry 0'Doherty pumps for two. Junior standout Scott Hawk finds little room to maneuver between the base line and a persis- tent Central High adversary.

Tenacious defense paces sophomores A fierce defense took Coach Virgil Beckmann and his sophomore basketball team to a 10-2 record. After an early setback to Westside, the Jays won the rest of their games until Boys Town dealt them a loss in the season finale. Jim Betterman's board work plus the scoring of Dan O'Kane led the Jays attack. According to Coach Beckmann, Tim Davlin showed the most improvement on the team. One of the better players, Kelly Mueller, who began play at midseason, adapted well enough to play a key role in the Benson victory. Tragedy struck, however, as Kelly lost his life in a car accident soon after the end of the season. Rookie cagers post unblemished record Led by high scoring Chris Salerno, the A team posted a perfect 15-0 record, repeating as city champs. Excellent reboun- ding by the front line and balanced scoring from all the starters gave Coach Terry Koc- sis' Baby Jays an awesome attack. Only Mission Junior High kept the B team, coached by Mr. Ed Kult, SJ, from an undefeated season. Greg Spellman's scoring and rebounding proved to be the difference in many of the games. 1175 pam V26 iil iq? ....r. if 1 Q FROSH Kneeling: Brian Dolphin, Bob Carlisle, Joe Abts, Mike FROSH B Kneeling: Brian Dolphin, Don Gibbs, Ed Domalakes, Dick Miller, Tim O,Donnell, Bill Latka, John McLeay, Tim Hartigan, Edgerton, Bob Slovek, Greg Spellman, Kevin Cannon, Shaun Hassett.

Toby Cudahy, replacing the graduated John Kizer, teamed with senior Joe Cleary to win the state doubles title against Lincoln Southeast. The team swept through its season without a loss.

Suffering only one loss to eventual State champs Westside, the tankers bulldozed towards state chalking up a 12-1 record along the way, appearing virtually unbeatable at dual meets. Soaring over the heads of com- petitors, divers John Kinnear and Guy Hawkins pulled up the team's score at meets, while outstanding performances by Steve Raynor grabbed him three first-place Metro medals as he streaked to a State win in the 200 freestyle.

Inexperience spells matmen's fortunes The steady improvement of Coach Tom Jaworski's wrestlers throughout the season further enhanced the hopes of a wrestling tradition for the Jays. The young team posted three wins at dual meets. As in previous years, a small number of seniors anchored the team. Randy McKay and co-captain Pat Waring put in consistent performances all season. The duo also qualified for the State meet, along with Junior John Pearson. Although the team had an unimpressive won-lost record, they did provide tough com- petition. Co-captain Tony Beard described the Jays as a team Prep could be proud of. a-,gi 58 A.2 ff O 1 fzzg ,g,w'i ' w 1'Q ' I Q me B 4 W -s var: a-6 -H,.wzWPrep K ' Opponent Q Vardil Var.

A surprisingly good pitching staff received few runs to work with each game. Three straight losses opened the season. The first victory came on a Greg Micek shutout of North. Tom Casey kept the scoreless string going, blanking Rummel 2-0. Ted Stessman hurled shutouts against Boys Town and Central. T.J. broke the scoreless string, defeating the Jays 5-2. Stranded baserunners and costly errors nagged Prep. Steady hitting from Bill Cronstrom, Frank Gulizia, plus occasional power from Mark Donnelly and Mike Ambrose provid- ed the team's offensive punch. The Jays approached the district tour- nament with strong pitching, but shaky hitting and defense. Millard's Cougars scored easily and defeated the Jays 8-2, en- ding a disappointing season. A brief show of emotion aptly displays Coach Kocsis concern with his team's inconsistencies. The series of pictures below depicts the windup and delivery of top soph prospect Dave Wesely. '52 Q.

Debuting as a recognized varsity sport, the A soccer team, coached by Chuck Longo and Tom Ruma, fell just short of the league crown. After one-sided victories over Rummel and Northwest, the Junior Jay kickers faced a strong Westside club. Playing under the lights and in front of a vocal crowd of 850, Prep succumbed by 2-1. The Varsity then posted five easy vic- tories, including a 13-0 rampaging of Ralston in which the team high-scorer Joe Longo tallied four times. A 3-3 deadlock with un- defeated Benson left the team short of a se- cond straight state championship, but with a respectable 10-1-1 record. Standouts Mike Rock, Bill Mason, and co-captains Joe Rauth and Rick Barba spear- headed the Jays' defense, while the offensive ability of Jim Biskup and Hugh Cowdin rounded out the team's attack. The B team, coached by Mr. Paul Strittmatter, SJ, posted a surprisingly good 4-6-2 record. Composed mainly of freshmen and sophomores, the team won some impor- tant contests, beating Burke 2-1, and Ralston 4-0. Powered by frosh high-scorer Bob Rauth and halfbacks Denny Haller and Jim Dodson, the younger team showed potential for future greatness in Prep soccer. With a tremendous heave, senior Joe Lowndes returns the ball to play during the Benson Game. 109 110 VARSITY TRACK Sitting: Jim Quinlan, Larry Simodynes, Jim Zezulak, Mike Peters, Pat Colburn, Bill Palais, Joe Henatsch, Rich Hungerford, Joe Brudney.

Sparse talents fill key track positions Lacking depth at several key positions, the varsity track team posted a disappointing 0-6 dual meet tally. Record-breakers John Murphy and Sam Harris turned in excellent individual perfor- mances. Murphy established a new school record of 10:01 in the two-mile run, while Harris set a record in the triple jump with a distance of 45 feet, 5 inches. The team saw limited success in the State meet, scoring on a third-place finish for Sam Harris in the triple jump, and a 5th place finish for the two-mile relay team of Tito Machado, Rich Hunger- ford, Mike Herman, and Mike Hanna. Working under a new system of separa- tion of powers, each event had an assigned coach. Coaches Terry Kocsis and Virgil Beckmann headed the track events, Lynn Groff coached the field events and Brother Michael Wilmot co-ordinated the effort. Coached by Fr. Ted Kalamaja, SJ, and Mr. Robert Tillman, SJ, the freshman track squad rolled to a 6-0 season. The best team ever, as termed by Coach Tillman, earned a tie for first in its conference.

Seasoned by a year's growth, they cruise down thea halls choking on hidden cigarettes, badmouthing, lowerlings, and looking out for anyone over five feet tall. In their final year as un- derclassmen, after a startling revelation, they're into transcendental meditation, Freud's Id ego, Hes 's depressing depressions, and Coors, all while anxiously anticipating crossing the threshold into the land of hot and cold Open Campus, automatic responsibility, and greener privileges. Com- bined they form the ominous gathering that strikes fear into the hearts and souls of teachers and seniors: underclas men. 114 Freshmen realize high school dreams Arriving with their arsenal of books, pens, and schedules issued at registration day, the baby-blue Prepsters braved that dreaded first day of high school full of con- fidence. With only a few weeks of school un- der their belts, they breezed through each day with the sureness of veterans. Many set right- out to assert themselves as they manned leadership positions in varied all-school ac- tivities.

Experienced but still overshadowed by the seniors, the junior Junior Jays can only patiently await their opportunity to take the reins from the school leaders. Assuming student council control midway through the school year gave the juniors a taste of their final year's respon- sibilities, and the third-year men proved well prepared for their fourth. X.

But instead of taking a break, the fourth year men took a greater share of responsibility in the running of the school. Operation Others owed its success almost entirely to the in- volved senior class, while a small group of seniors salvaged the drama department to put on a winter play. Despite astronomical odds, the senior student council regrouped to become a strong student force. In sports, as the team leaders, the seniors provided the force behind many a winning drive. But the effect the seniors had on the school was not limited to the organized aspects of Prep life, but streatched to the maturing effect the seniors had on the underclassmen, and the solid friendships the seniors made in their four years at Prep. 130 Graduates express Joy and relief upon departure At Creighton University a baccalaureate mass and breakfast initiated the culmination of four years of effort for the class of '73. After an unusually fine meal, emcee Vic Zirilli and speaker Tim Ambrose reflected upon their years at Prep. During rehearsal on the following day, two visitors known only as Speedy Gon- zales and Pedro destroyed any semblance of order when they attempted to join the graduation practice. But an iron-willed Fr. O'Leary soon returned things to half-chaos, and practice resumed. The rehearsal helped to make the graduation a success, as an es- timated 2000 parents, friends, and relatives filled the Civic Auditorium Music Hall to witness the ceremonies. After the usual for- malities, emcee Bob Koory introduced Fr. McKenney, President of Creighton Prep, who in turn brought on the class of 1923 for a jubilee diploma. In consideration of his many years of service both as teacher and football coach, Prep honored Don Leahy as this year's recipient of the Distinguished Citizen Award. Then came what most people usually an- ticipate with some apprehension, the class valedictorian speech. In a well-spoken, relatively short speech, Dave Ryan recapped his four years at Prep and concentrated mainly on school spirit: Ryan felt that Fr. Kanne and graduating senior, Brian Richl- ing, both of whom are disabled, best represented that school tradition. Apprehension peaked as Frs. Laughlin and McKenney prepared to distribute diplomas which the seniors received with out- stretched hands and without incident. F r. O'Leary utilizes a bullhorn to maintain the seniors' attention during graduation rehearsal. Q , 9 ww MA :N Qwhff n if V, - 4' Y' ff , ,i ji , 5 1 ' . I :i'WfQ2Z L-fl?

PREP Who is it, anyway? In accepting this behemoth undertaking, I found myself confronted with the task of choosing a theme for the yearbook. With several vague ideas and the general guidelines of showing the complete Prep, the staff and I began our time consuming chore. The resulting theme, obvious if you have been reading the book, is who is Prep, anyway? I noticed that both the pictures and copy made definite statements about what Prep is. Although they were similar, each one added a unique dimension to the book's view of Prep. Both the students and faculty presented ideas pointing out individuals, tradition, spirit, and event the school itself as the key in- gredient to Prep. But Prep is all of these things, because each person possesses a different notion of Prep. It is this idea that people carry with them and never change, even after they leave school. The thought of the hundreds of families helped in Operation Others, the memories of the graduates from fifty years ago, the reminder of the thirty jugs you had to serve, the win against Boys Town, the loss to Benson, all these things are Prep. Prep is not a mass of brick and stone, it is in- side of everyone who has come in contact with its idea. In these closing pages I am ideally supposed to sum up this idea, but it would be impossible in the amount of space available, however, to show completely what Prep is, so I will merely tell you what it has meant to me as an innocent spectator. The class of '73 was unique in more ways than one. Our class witnessed the swan song of the follies, required-ties, fresh hot lunches, the Homecoming bonfire, and the barage of Mandrake Root sock hops. The out-going seniors also saw in the era of Kwik Kafe lunches, the System-3 computer, the Brother Wilmot center for the performing basketball players, B.A.S.H., Awareness Workshop, APEX, Senior Projects, and happiness birds. In my four years we have had repeat state wins from football and tennis, state crowns in golf and soccer, and four years of virtually unbeatable freshmen basketball and football teams. Memories also include walking retreats, the freshman Christmas Party, and the spring Be-in, all engineered by Mr. Gary Giombi. Who could forget Mr. Ali's three man band, or the innumerable dances and con- certs including stops by national touring groups Chase, Bob Segar, Tea Garden and Van Winkle, Sugarloaf, and Brownsville Sta- tion. Then there are the entertaining assemblies with Eddie Butler, Random Sample, the GM representative, and the most recent one by Dr. Jay B. Zee, the howlarous hypnotist. I can remember pull- ing the Homecoming float freshman year along with most of my classmates, and who could forget Mr. Ali, Fr. Medges, Mrs. Demott, Mr. Majka, Mr. Seminera, or Mr. Giombi. There are less pleasant memories, of course, the first demerit, the fortieth. I myself only came within one, although I never tallied less than thirty each semester. There was the personal or team loss that aflicted each player more than once, and the even greater loss when teachers or fellow classmates died. Mr. Porath, SJ died my freshman year, in my class Mark Knuteson died during sophomore year, two years ago Fr. Sullivan, SJ, Prep principal for more than 39 years passed on, and this year Kelly Mueller was added to this list. My final year as a Prepster, I found myself too occupied with the yearbook to real- ly notice, until now, how it had been the best of the four, greater responsibility, more respect, expanded privilages, a closer class bond, and many more new friends. This year's memories will include a disastrous mass for peace, pitched rivalry between the yearbook and newspaper, the jinxed loss to Benson, a memorable aroma-filled pep rally, and a small group of staff members who worked late hours, late into the summer to finish this brain-child albatross. In thumbing through the last three yearbooks, I was startled by the total change in the appearance and attitude of the class of '73 in its four years. Already Prep had changed beyond what it was in my mind. Of the 240 students that were at some time among our ranks, 67 have dropped by the wayside, one was lost through death, and the remaining 172 stumbl- ed on to graduate, but each is a part of what Prep is to me. But these thoughts only represent Prep for me, for others it may mean better memories or for others worse. But Prep is whatever people remember it as, and no one can change that. Years from now when the graduates sit in their rocking chairs, sipping Geraspeed, Prep will remain to them just as it was when they went there, in their minds. For as Thomas Wolfe said, You can't go home again, but who needs to, home is in your mind. Jim Adams N W Q .. , X ..,, 3 Q A 52 i . X, N X Q W xv i 25 ' ' 'cali 1 - 3 ai N F fri tgf Mkt H ,M !
