There are games that occupy our entire week with practices and then take up our Friday and Saturday nights. There are games called chess and Monopoly and one ot the earliest that children learn because it is easy, the card game l'War. Each game has playertsj, moves, strategy, and goals.

At Prep we all play games f we assume the roles ot student, teacher, jock, Hbrainf' W whatever is expected ot us. Our everyday lite is a game we play. Not that our games are necessarily enjoyable or good tor us. ln fact, as anyone who has experienced States of Life is supposed to know, sometimes these games are extremely harsh attairs because everyone is playing to win . . . to win something. Iesuit author lohn Powell also gives advice on how to conquer those games we play: mln order to achieve the honest communication ot ourselves with others, to experience the reality ot others, to become integrated and to grow, it helps very much to be aware ot our patterned reactions - the games we play. lt we become aware ot these games, we may give them up, Yet we can't do away with games completely, nor would we want to. Some games are tun and harmless, some make lite run more smoothly. Rules ot etiquette, grammar, dress, knowing how to act and look l'cool, are parts ot the games we play, games that help us get through high school. This yearbook will look at those games as well as the motives behind them. We've laid out the board and set up the pieces tor you, the players. Prepare yourselves to play again the games ot l983-84.

They play on a football field, dont they? Hldeing behind and believing in yourself and one another and above all in God: then is there ever defeat? Fr. Charles Kanne's words to the football team just before they took the State Championship apply to all of us in all the games We play. They have a special meaning, however, for anyone who has ever played any kind of sport. Although not all of Preps teams experienced the intense media and school attention that football did, none of them ended the season as losers. The most spectacular individual accomplishment of the year was that Senior gymnast Nick Lanphier. Cne would not think to look at this quiet and unassuming person that he had taken a gold medal in All-Around competition at the State Meet. The Cross Country Team took sixth in State after a strong second place finish at districts. The Toro Sting Soccer Club took State honors in their division as well. At this writing, the basketball team had just had its first loss to North in the single elimination Holiday Tournament. Wrestling had been victorious in several dual meets. And the Chess Team had recently outmatched the Bryan and Boys Town teams. ,W f . ,kk U if ll qv, nf if ra 4 .

E A E I ,Q-an Q W L 5 1 N The Day After Yields l oy, Relief The enthusiasm and joy of a state championship victory did not end with the game. lmmediately afterward, a huge congregation of excited fans gathered in Prep's parking lot to give the lunior lays a warm welcome. Parties and celebration followed. During what has grown to be known as The Day After, school went on as scheduled. Gross had the day off. Among the students there were mixed feelings of relief and elation. lf the Class of '84 seemed more satisfied than others, it was for a special reason: their Freshman year, Prep took state in football and their goal had been to do the same. Some even spoke of another Triple Crown victory. The next activity to celebrate the championship was the Thanksgiving Mass followed by an awards ceremony. There the team received praise as well as their trophy and individual gold medals. Honored guests included Mayor Mike Boyle and World Herald Sports Editor Mike Kelly. Mr. Spethrnan summed up just about everyone's feelings when he said, 'lWe were never sure what this team was going to do, but we knew they would do it. The highlight of the ceremony came when Senior Tri- Captain Brad Kucera gave Fr. Charles Kanne, Sl. a white letter for his support of the team. Father had spoken to them at the presgame Mass. His speech about believing in ,U ww 4 ,r'TQA :w 1n,N , in oneself was a guiding force to victory.

Their first activity was an orientation hot dog roast at Pipal Park in mid-August. Many seniors were miffed, however, when, after braving the heat to go clear across town, they found that a small group showed up early to eat all the food. Frosh Fun Night, which followed a wellsattended Mass and potluck dinner, posed an interesting series of relay games dreamed up by Big Brothers co-chairmen lim Giesler, Mike Fisher, Tom Pritchard, and Greg O'Donnell. The infamous 'lbat spin caused a few near fatalities. While many Big Brothers activities were the larger scheduled events, the real bulk of a Big Brother's duties was in smaller areas, such as rides to school and to games and an occasional friendly word to a freshman in the halls.

Although there were not as many Homecoming Week activities as most ot us had been used to Cdue to weather, hectic schedules, and a myriad ot other contlictsj the Bontire, which teatured three bands, and Freshman Homecoming were both great successes. The testivities Homecoming night began at 9:00 p.m. with the dance. The band was R.U.E.Z. and played a variety ot music trom the Rolling Stones to the Romantics. At lO:3O the coronation took place with the winners being Kathleen Spethman trom Marian, Diane Gunia trom Mercy and Anne Ramacciotti trom Duchesne. The varsity tootball tri- captains who served as kings tor the evening testivities were Brad Kucera, Dave Santoni, and Steve Kuhl. Seniors Pat Rosenthal, Rick Hausman, and lohn Murray organized the dance and decorations.

Operation Others, which provided Christmas dinner for needy families throughout Cmaha, seems to receive more and more requests for its valuable service every year. This year 720 families were provided with food during the holiday season compared with SOO the previous year. ' Although many individuals from Prep all contributed their goods and services to O.Q., there were a few whose efforts need to be recognized. Mr. Bill Laird and Fr. Dan Kenney, SJ. were the faculty moderators. Fr. Kenney returned to the helm after a one year absence spent in Africa. Seniors lohn Smith, Guy O'Brien, and lohn Murray were the student coordinators. Many organizations from Prep and Marian donated their efforts to raising money for C.O. The National Honor Society, led by Seniors leff Searl and Eric Scholar raised more than a thousand dollars for 0.0. by sponsoring the ever popular Eat-a- Thonf' The Science Club donated all money from cans collected during one week in December. The Prep and Marian Swim Teams sponsored a swim-a-thon which raised over four hundred dollars, ten times more than last year. Bro. ferry Peltz, S.l. and several other Prep students sponsored the Run for Qthersn held in early December. Although hard, snow-packed hills were part of the course, over l5O runners participated in the area event. The Prep faculty was victorious over the KCTL Pumblefoot Five. Marian's state championship volleyball team and the Mart Club, made up of Prep seniors, raised two hundred dollars in what had to be the mismatch of the century. General reaction to C.O.'s success was mixed, but its effect was very positive. lt was pretty good, although l wish more people would have brought more cans, said lohn Smith. Guy O'Brien added, lt was a long and hard experience because of the extra families, but it was worth the pain.

About three, since that was how long it took the Mother-Son communion Breakfasts to reach all school status. Unlike the first two, this one was open to freshmen and sophomores as well, making attendance the largest so far. The morning began with a Mass. The principal celebrant was Fr. Bohr and the lesuit faculty served as concelebrants. After Mass, breakfast was served. Considering the reputation of other Prep breakfast events for unpalatable food, most people found the fare enjoyable. During the meal, a short program took place. lt was led off by an invocation by Fr. Kenney and was followed by an address about mothers by leff Searl. Closing remarks and benediction were given by Fr. Sullivan. Fr. Mullen was MC. Credit and thanks went out to the women who organized the event: Diane Laughlin, Beverly Murray, and Ann Tomcykowski. Another new event brought the spotlight on Prep students and their moms: The Mother-Son Dinner Dance tnicknamed the morn promwi, held on Valentines Day Eve in the Peony Park Ballroom. After dinner, the lights were dimmed and soon all were dancing to tunes which ranged from Frank Sinatra to Michael lackson. While some mothers refused to dance, others had the trouble of getting their sons to dance, so towards the end of the evening many women found themselves tangoing, polka-ing, or breakdancing with someone other than their son. Halftime entertainment was provided C.P. by groups made up of members from all tour classes. The sophomores chose a skit that not many people could figure out, the only redeeming quality of which was a harmonica solo by Bill Hoover. The juniors brought the Raoul Rodriguez Show from the gym floor to the dance floor. A reluctant Pr. Sullivan was used to demonstrate a magic trick in this take-off on HThe Tonight Show The seniors gave an example of the typical Mother-Son Driving Lesson, complete with screams, gasps, and threats. The entire school benefited, either directly or indirectly, from the dance. Classes were put on a late start schedule the following day, allowing both mothers and sons to rest after an exciting evening. The Mom Prom was a success and certainly did serve its purpose of uniting Prep families. Clockwise from top letti Senior Dave Rankin and lunior Bill Plowman tound ways to occupy themselves during tree time, Troy Mass medi- tates on the days events during Freshman Re- treat, Dan Wieberg and Dan Lowndes, group leaders on the Freshman Retreat, take time out tor the weekends second most important activity: eating.

Senior retreats can with students trom other area high be rewarding in that they give the schools: lastly, there was the Senior students a chance to look over the Open Retreat run by the School and accomplishments they have made held at Prep. while they have been at Prep.

Retreats Build Special Bonds What happens in February besides cabin fever and the arrival of the Sports lllustrated swim suit issue? Freshman Retreat, of course! This year's retreat was moved from the original date to the first weekend in March to avoid a basketball game scheduled for the middle of Mass. For the first time, the retreat began on a Thursday, making use of a previously scheduled retreat day on Friday. According to the new schedule, Freshman Retreat ended on Saturday, March 3, allowing the Freshmen to recover and the luniors and Seniors to party. The theme for Freshman Retreat '84 was l've Got a Name, based on the song by lim Croce. The motto was My Name is a Gift from My Friends, My Family, and My God - Upon this Name l Shall Build. In choosing the theme and motto, the core planning group chose to center on the individuals identity: what goes into its creation and how a person could build on his identity. As the motto suggested, friends, family, and God were to be important influence on one's indentity. Freshman Retreat gave the Freshmen a chance to develop better relationships with their peers, themselves, and God. As freshman Bernie Kanger put it, Hlt was one of the best experiences of my life. Faculty moderators Mr. Greg Glen and Fr. lim Michalski put in tireless hours working with co-chairmen loe McCaslin and Steve Madigan organizing the retreat. Vital to the success of the retreat were the forty lunior and Senior group leaders and the Grounds Crew, all of whom spent hours preparing for the retreat. The co-bosses of the Grounds Crew were Dave Tomcykowski and Al Louis. Special thanks went to alumnus Gene Klosner for his priceless contribution of time and music to- Freshman Retreat '84. Gene wrote a song especially for this retreat. .W,.t,,....s- fl X,,,,-4 Q h a -1 :K F' 'mr' S X X l s ., M '.:fSVV:L 22 Field Day Provides Fun And Fellowship For All ,qpnnnu-ill E Ml A girl in a pink bonnet and sweatshirt looking for a helium-Hlled balloon.

The man thought deeply to himself, as he concentrated on the small black numbers printed on the page before him, the room resounded with a loud silence. These were not the best of times, and a dream was in danger of shattering. The phone rang. The man picked up the phone and listened attentively to the voice on the other end. That night in that room a meeting was held and when the smoke cleared, everyone knew that the dream would not dieg Endorment ll became a reality. When Father l. Roger Lucey, Sl., arrived at Prep in l977, he walked into a living dream. Creighton Prep had established itself as a premier institution in the classroom, extra curriculars, and social service. But Father Lucey also found a school whose future depended on the establishment of an endowment program. On the advice of many consultants, Endowment ll was established, guaranteeing the continued excellence exhibited by Creighton Prep. The goal of Endowment ll is to raise a total of SS5.l million by l968. The money in the endowment is invested and the interest enables Prep to help students through scholarship programs and work grants, ensuring the mix of students that makes Prep a school for the community. ln this way the dream continues. The countdown begins a year in advance. None of this lO-9-8-7-6 stuff. lt's more like 365, 364, 363. About two weeks before BASH, though, the behind the scenes work becomes more evident. The gym is closed and the folding chairs rounded up. Cult anyone has any more folding chairs in their classrooms, please let Walt know. l A sign-up for student waiters is posted in the library. Artists are seen carrying easals and board through the cafeteria and up the stairs, an endless train. The lesuit Cafeteria fills up at lunch with BASH- working parents. When the doors to the gym finally open, the transformation is astounding. No longer the site of screaming crowds and sweating P.E. classes, the gym is a dining room. Graphic depictions of Qlympic athletes decorate portable walls. Round tables are festooned with flags and with ribbons in the six Qlympic colors. ln the center of each is an Olympic torch lit by an enclosed flashlight. Scattered around the center pieces are votive candles. Looking down on the scene are four large screens ready to display instant video feedback of the crowd as well as the objects to be auctioned. ln the tin gym are the items for the silent auction, divergent as a parcel of land in Florida and a typewriter. Gradually the crowd drifts from the tin gym to the wood gym for dinner, served by white-jacketed Prep students who have been versed by the caterer moments before. The meal is served efficiently and the tables cleared so the oral auction can begin at 9:l5. Spotters go into action and when a dinner with Mayor Boyle comes up on the block, l-lis Honor dons a hard hat with flashing red light and waltzes past the tables. Meanwhile the waiters have moved to the lesuit cafeteria to be waited on by parents. Their food goes fast. At eleven another shift of workers comes in to relieve the first that came in at five, later more will arrive for the clean-up scheduled for between one and three a.m. By the time the last car pulls out of the driveway, the school will have netted about S230,000. Under the direction of Fr. Charles F. Mullin, Sl., the school fundraiser is an all out, all year effort. According to Fr. Mullen, this year's crowd was llfar and away the largest ever. lt is clearly evident what a help this is in holding the line on tuition. He noted that it takes about 4OO workers to produce a BASH evening, including parents, past parents, friends, students, faculty, and staff, and he gave special recognition to Mr. Bob Willits's art students. Then he began planning for next year's BASI-l.365 364 363....

A flurry of comments, insults and laughs flew from the students in the college counseling center. As representatives from the Capitol Beauty School explained their training, they began working on the heads of their guinea pigs: lohn Hughes, E. l. Militti, Paul Showalter, lim O'Brien and others. Why'were people getting hairstyles in the college counseling center? Normally, hairstyles are not available at Prep, but Career Day, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Omaha, was an exception. The Career Day committee, headed by chairman, Dr. Richard Gilliland, organized an afternoon where Prep students learned more about possible career opportunities from doctors, lawyers, and other business people from the Omaha area. Students attended two 55 minute sessions in which representatives from over 40 different careers explained their fields, the best methods to achieve success in that given area, job availability, qualifications, and education, as well as other on-the-job training. The Pep Rally Committee did an excellent job securing quite a number of distinguished guests that appeared in the pep rallies. Who could forget Spicoli's Top Ten or that Spanish tantalizer with the bedroom eyes A Tulula. They were also fortunate enough to get that famous reporter lohn Hughes of the lohn Hughes News, the no news is good news, any news is our news and our news is your news anytime, anywhere, brought to you there by the Hughes News Network. There were also appearances by several members of each class. Freddie Frosh recited his selection from Robert l7rost's works, 'lSnow. How could anyone say Prepsters don't get enough culture? They also continued the tradition of having the family members of the football team attend the pep rally before the State Championship game. The pep rallies were also the start of many new careers such as that of Raoul Rodriguez. The committee was also able to persuade Frank Broyles of ABC sports to be a guest host of the l984 lesuit Olympics. Special credit for this year's pep rallies goes to moderator Greg Glenn and senior Pat Rosenthal. ,wwf liww Clockwise from center left: General lames Keck debates Fr.

The assemblies throughout the year gave students a chance to hear and learn about ditterent topics. The U. S. Army presented a slide show on career choices. The Faith and lustice Group presented a debate over nuclear arms between General lames Keck and Father Darrell Rupiper. Fr. Rupiper, a local peace activist, and General Keck, a retired Air Force career man, spoke on how to achieve lasting peace. The all school Mass was a time to unite. Masses were held to celebrate certain occasions and to unite the school spiritually. Two ot the major Masses were the Gperation Gthers Mass and the Senior Mass. The tirst gave thanks to the Lord tor all our blessings and asked tor prayers tor the less fortunate. The latter brought to an end the reign ot the class ot 84 and symbolized hope tor the future.

'54 ZMW Fr. Bohr came to Prep in l98O and immediately had an effect on the school. ln his first year an unheard of feat occurred. Prep won the triple crown by taking State in the crowd sports of baseball, basketball, and football, as well as soccer. Although Fr. Bohr didn't take credit for his impressive first year, he was shown to be an amiable and influential leader of the school. Pr. G. Ted Bohr, Sl. came in with the class of l984, and just as they graudated, so did he. The senior class came in with class and personal goals: some were accomplished, some were not. Fr. Bohr, too, came some dancing tclassical balletj in PE. Although these specific goals were never met, he accomplished his main goal of continuing Prep's strong tradition as an exceptional high school in all its aspects. At his roots, Fr. Bohr was a lover of the arts. He wanted to reguire music and dancing, to some extent, because he sees them as essential to the development of everyone. Even without his desired requirements, he still succeeded in, single-handedly, instilling in all a sense of the arts. Who can forget his inspiring poetry? His poetry is an example of his love of language also. He would like, after leaving Prep, to go back to school theology. Fr. Bohr maybe didn't directly shoot the baskets, make the touchdowns and goals or score the runs, but he difinitely was an influence in his four years on continuing the successes at Prep. lim Stumpf remarked, HHe's a principal for the community. He wasn't one-sided for the faculty or for the students. Fr. Bohr said that a big surprise on coming to Prep was that he saw students who enjoyed coming to school. This special attitude could in some ways be accredited to himself and the influences he had on Prep. in with some ideals, not all of which were accomplished. He wanted to require every student to learn to play a musical instrument and to take Fr. Bohr Bows Cut tf.'1t:wl:wise from bottom leftt Mrs. Lynne ffawott.

Cots, tables, Chairs, typewriters, needles, medical paraphernalia and donuts were ready and waiting for the faculty and students who had signed up to give blood to the American Red Cross. The students, many ot whom were L. donating for the first time, looked paler before the needle had gone in than after they had given. They soon found out that the pain was l' 'ble and that the most difficult neg igi part of the ordeal was answering all of the questions posed by the nurses. Prospective donors had their pulse ' d and blood pressure checked an bmitted to a blood test which su checked their iron levels. Next came the donation itself. The needle going in hurt about as much as a gentle pinch: within five minutes, a pint of blood had been removed, an arm i bandaged, and a sticker which read, Be nice to me . . . l gave blood fastened to the donor's today was shirt. Donuts and orange juice followed to help increase blood levels and reduce fainting. The whole rocess took about half an hour: I3 however, an ambitious student could ' d cut a stretch the time to an hour an class by nibbling on cookies and claiming lightheadedness. When the time had come to leave the hospitality table, a nurse advised: lllust show the teacher your arm to get back into class. Spirits were high among the 89 Types: A,B,Q students and faculty.

Working quietly toward the competitive season were Ben Sempek, Steve Sorensen, Pat Miller, Nick Lanphier, and Coach Dick Bayer. Prep's small team barely tilled the quota ot at least three competitors in each ot the six individual events ot gymnastics. The otticial season commenced with a dual meet against Central. Despite their greater number ot competitors, Central lost. With little room tor errors, Prep had to show consistency throughout all ot its events. The next competition was the Art Harris Invitational where Prep again performed well. ln tact Prep improved with each meet. Prep's season culminated at the Thomas letterson lnvite. Prep, with every one ot its eighteen routines counting, began excellently. Sorensen posted his highest score ever on the tloor exercise. The rest ot the team pertormed equally well. The other teams with the advantage ot throwing thirty routines and merely counting the best ones, were formidable opponents. After a tew exciting tricks were thrown and the chalk settled, the results were tallied. Prep emerged victorious with a slight one tenth ot a point win out ot more than a hundred points. Prep had beaten the team that would become the 1983 lowa State Gymnastics Champions. . . Later in the year, with Prep almost assuredly going to the state T competition, Steve Sorensen injured his arm in an unfortunate accident. Losing such an important player devastated the team's chances tor' any more impressive victories. For all practical purposes, Ben Sempek, Pat Miller, and Nick Lanphier would be performing tor the individual awards. The team would still place respectably, but the potential tor a berth in state was gone. Nevertheless the season continued. Competition following competition, all still performed the best they could. District was the tinal meet tor Ben Sempek and Pat Miller.

Homer, The Odyssey This was the rule from which all others were derived. Anyone on the team could attest to this rule after suffering through lOO degree days, l5 mile runs ton a Saturday morning no lessl, five hour car rides with 8 people in the car, and Coach Sanley's abounding enthusiasm. The team learned, as a result, that there was no logical explanation to the sport of Cross Country. Rule No. 2 - For sufferers it is sweet to know before hand the pain that still remains for them. Aeschylus. The most asked question in cross country was, What are we going to do today? The answers ran the gauntlet from hour and a half runs, one kilometer repeats, lifting weights to just normal running. Runners tried not to concentrate on the pain as much as the end of the pain. When someone said that cross country was fun and challenging, they really meant that, in fact, it was always painful. But at least you knew this before you started, right? l Rule No. 3 - llNothing is got without pain but dirt and long nails. English proverb This was certainly true of the sport of cross country. Ask any runner. What was important, though, was the team had goals, ranging from personal satisfaction to a state championship, and came as close to fulfilling them as it could. Everyone on the team should be proud to say, 'll ran cross country. Rroud of the individual efforts each teammate made, and proud of the results of their toils. There might not have been a logical explanation to the sport of cross country, but there were as many emotional explanations as there were people who ran cross country.

This Prep tennis player found the flies at Dewey Park to be rather bothersome to his game. Q Tennis Gets Small Following, Rich Rewards Led by Captain Roland Simone, the Prep Varsity Tennis Team boasted eight returning lettermen and consequently a great deal of experience heading into the season. The team utilized its depth to shut out many of its opponents and provide the edge over stiffer competition such as Gross and Central. Prep completed a successful 8-2 dual season and earned a third place in the mid-season Papillion tournament while preparing for the upcoming Metro and State tourneys. Prep was represented at Metro and State by Roland Simone and Venu Nair competing in the singles bracket and the doubles teams of Mark Connollyfloe Easterday and Mark Laughlin! Paul McLeay. These six combined for an impressive third place finish at Metro and Simone and ConnollyfEsterday both reached quarterfinals. With aspirations of a high finish, the team headed down to Dewey Park for the State Tournament. Due to some early round upsets, Prep managed only a seventh place finish but witnessed fifth seeded Venu Nair reach the quarterfinals and unseeded LaughlinfMcLeay reach the finals. Prep tennis didn't receive the following of some sports, but everyone had good reason to be proud of the whole team for practicing hard and defeating most of its statewide competition. Comeback Champs Top Awesome Season With State Championship Title Success had permeated Prep Football for years, and the 1983 State Championship team continued the tradition. The lunior lays, dubbed the 'Comeback Champs, were experts at performing the unexpected, and by the end of the season had captured the hearts of numerous thrilled spectators. Preparations for the season began in a scorching August. Hundred degree temperatures became all too familiar to players as two-a-day practices dragged on. The Blue-White intrasguad scrimmage, usually the joyous culmination of a vigorous three weeks of practice, was disastrous. The game had to be halted after the first half because of the heat, marking an unusual start to a championship season. The first comeback came when' the lays were 2-1 facing Central. The Eagles, who had not beaten Prep since 1957, were leading 20-7 at the half and dominating play. The courageous lays, however, brought themselves 21 points in the second half and an eventual 28-26 win. According to World-1-lerald writer Lee Barfknecht, lt may go down as one of the lunior lays' greatest comebacks ever. Following the loss to Westwide, Coach laworski emphasized even more strongly consistency to his team. 1-le told his players that they were a great team, but they had to win the rest of their games in order to make the playoffs. The team played inspired ball the final three games of the regular season and finished as District Champions with a 7-2 record. The playoff appearance was Prep's eighth straight, a feat unmatched by any in the state. The lays played awesome defense in the first round game against Scottsbluff, notching the third shutout in five games, The second round, a rematch with Burke, was the second coming of the Comeback Champions. Burke capitalized on two Prep fumbles and grabbed a fourteen point lead five minutes into the game. Prep closed the margin to 21-13 by halftime. ln the second half, the defense stole the show as Prep rallied to a dramatic 22-21 victory, setting up the all-Catholic championship game with Gross. The game, played before over l0,000, like the season, was full of comebacks. Prep lost an early thirteen point lead and entered the locker room at halftime behind, 14- 13. laworski told his team to keep their poise. Prep responded by forging into the lead, but Gross again took the lead, 21-19. After some opportunistic defense Prep scored what turned out to be the final points late in the third quarter. The comeback season was over: Prep, 255 Gross, 21. Championships would definitely be repeated in the future, but the courage of the 1983 State Championship team was in a class by itself.

Undergraduate Gfridders Garner Great Gains The Prep lunior Varsity football team is noted for success. This year's team was no different. lt excelled against the opposition. Endowed with outstanding athletes, the lunior Varsity team hammered out victory after victory. Their only letdown was against a tough Roncalli team. Under the able leadership of Mr. McArdle, Mr. Naatz, and Mr. O'Connor, they steamrolled to a second place finish in their division with a 7-1 record. The football team was led by a balanced attack on offense with Dave landric at quarterback, Dave Beda at fullback, and Al Louis and Keith Craven at halfbacks. An impressive defense was spearheaded by Pat Kirk at tackle and Danny McGargill at noseguard. The Baby lays, for the second year in a row, captured the lntercity League by posting a 7-O season. They countered their small size with an uncharacteristic balanced offense. According to Mr. Glenn, coach of the B team, the ability to run and pass at any given time was the key to success. The head coach of the A team, Tom Dineen, was assisted by Dave Clifford, Mark Costello, and F r. lim Michalski. Operating out of an l-Formation, the A-team outscored their opponents 102-26. Dave Crum, voted most valuable player by his teammates, led a ll rushers with 302 yards. Rushing for 142 yards and one touchdown, Crum produced the only score in a 6-O win over Ralston. Other close games were a 12-O victory over Gross and a 7-6 defeat of second- ranked Millard South. The trenches were anchored by Chris Costello and Dan Lohmeier, while the quarterback duties were shared by Bill Egan and Bud Sachs. The B team ended their season with a 2-3 mark. Millard North and arch- rival Roncalli B fell victims to this small squad. The three close losses were to Gross B, Ralston B, and - in double overtime -- to Millard South B. Matt LeBeau, playing guard and linebacker, was elected MVP of the B team. Other standouts were Matt Herek, lim Walz, and Bernie Kanger.

Swimmers Strut Their Stuff Tn The Pool, Tn The Classroom The Creighton Prep Swim Team had great quality, not quantity. When Prep swimmers sliced the water, one of two swimmers always emerged in the top three. The team finished second at State, Metro, Ram's Relays, Warrior lnvitational, and Husker lnvitational. Each time the nemesis was West side. Mr. Stuva said of the l983-84 season, The team did better that l expected. We finished second at the State Meet, well ahead of the third place team. The fact that we placed so far ahead of Millard South Cwho finished thirdl was a surprise. Prep swimming: a silent sport with no pep rallies, few spectators, practices off campus at odd hours. Consequently, most of the senior swimmers never felt they were swimming for Prep, but rather just for themselves. The team took the dual meets lightly but when the time came for the big meets, the times posted by the Prep swimmers were fast. The medley Relay of Tohn DiBaise, Mark Mordeson, Tom Beck, and Dave Keller took first at State, beating Westside and posting an All America time of l:38.42. Tom Beck, Tohn DiBaise, Brian Bloechle, Dave Keller, and Mark Mordeson combined brains with brawn as more than half of the boys' All-Americarlill Academic Team was made up of these senior swimmers.

Despite the Herculean efforts of the team, however, their record did not begin to exemplify the individual talents nufured by Coach Dineen. Mick Wagner, Dave Eastlack, Dan McGargill, and Mike Compton each gualified for the State Championship Tournament.

Cverall, Preps grapplers had a successful year: the three Seniors gave tremendous support to the developing underclassmen. They provided the leadership necessary for progress on a building squad.

This season trips included the Galva-Holstein Relays in Holstein, lowa, the Columbus lnvitational in Columbus, Nebraska and the Kansas Relays in Lawrence. The Holstein Relays were held in a professional manner again this year and the weather was conducive to some fine athletic performances. lay Gallup provided one of Prep's five first place finishes by winning the mile run. Other first place finishers were Mike Cummings in the two mile run, Tim Mikulicz in the shot put, lude Cook in the discus, and lim O'Brien in the pole vault. Prep's relay teams placed in the top three in the -440 yard one mile, and two mile relay events. Strong competition came from Cherokee Washington, Omaha North and four Sioux City teams - North, East, West, and Heelan. Prep's two mile relay team of Chris Fritton, Al Louis, Mike Cummings, and Bob Dunn collected silver medals and helped Prep to finish second only to Sioux City West by a narrow margin.

Six Game Streak Spices Season The l983-84 Creighton Prep Bluejays had a little ditterent look from other years, at least on the bench. No longer was Brother Mike Wilmot the head coach ot the lunior lays. l-le was gone on a one year sabbatical. lt was the job ot Mr. Virgil Beckmann to guide Prep. The Bluejay season got ott to a tast start by winning their tirst tour games, highlighted by a three point win in overtime against a tough Burke team. At 4-0 Prep was confident going into the Metro- l-loliday Tournament. After barely escaping South,174-7l, Prep was knocked out ot the tournament, talling to North and Burke. The lays tried to regroup but could only muster a 4-3 mark against such teams as Gross, Tech, Bellevue East, Millard North, Westside, A.L., and Millard South. Finally, though, the Bluejays jelled. ln the games that tollowed, Prep ran ott a streak ot six wins in a row, tive against rated teams. This earned Prep a No. 3 ranking in the State. The team seemed ready tor district competition. Prep opened district play against North, a team that had previously beaten Prep in triple overtime. However, this time the lays were ready. Prep won the game, 66-61, and earned the right to play Northwest in the district tinals. Atter falling behind early, Prep came back to pull within a point at halftime. From there on it was all Northwest. This loss, coupled with the Millard South loss to Gross, kept the Bluejays out ot the State Tournament, a blow to both the coaches and the players. Despite a season ending loss, the players, coaches and tans will always remember that six game streak as the season highlight. Everyone should be congratulated, especially Coach Beckmann, for the fine job he did. Conroy Era Ends With First ln Districts be lust as the Debate Team is ending its season with Fridays off for tournaments, the golf season begins and Friday matches make for a three day respite from classes for golfers. Despite the rainy spring, Prep golfers had a good year. Much of the credit goes to Randy Conroy, a four year letterman who competed in every golf tournament Prep entered in the last four years. According to Coach Virg Beckmann, l'Randy will be missed, not only because he is a good golfer, but also because he is a good person. Coach Beckmann also praised the other senior varsity golfers, Tom Pritchard and 1 im Sealey, for their excellent leadership. With three junior lettermen and an excellent junior varsity, Prep golf has nice potential for the future. Cther varsity members included Marc Dewall, Kevin O'Neal, and Brian Winn. lunior Varsity members were Tom Nussrallah, Tim Schanne, Mike Dugan, lett Egan, Greg Anderson, lim Regan, and Mike Stolarskyj.

But Prep wasn't always able to hit in the clutch and too often during the season left men on third base or the bases loaded. So the goal to get within striking distance of Northwest, rated fourth in the nation by USA, didn't materialize. The spoiler was the Millard South game. Prep was up 5-l in the last inning when errors stole the game. One inning killed us this year, a player said. The team, co-captained by Brad Kucera and lohn Smith, was not so much a powerhouse as well-rounded. lt had depth, good pitching, and unity. The season began inauspiciously -M spring rains were interminable, dampening spirits, practices, and some early games. But as spring ball slogged its way through the schedule, its hopes of breaking Northwest's winning streak seemed feasible. Prep had a good team, and good coaching in Mr. Bill Laird, lohn Killips, and Lloyd Lurvy. Despite Prep's inability to meet Northwest at State, the players prided themselves in their achievements. Corey Zenon, after a stand-up triple and a circus catch in the Millard South game, still had reason to smile after the awful last inning. He summed up the season for himself and the team, saying, l did the best l could.

The l983-84 school year represented a coming of age for Prep Band. The roots of musical maturity were firmly established and the first buds of excellence broke earth. Their goals were visible from the start. Marching was priorty one in the fall and although plagued by size problems and a lack of upperclassmen, the band persevered and completed five halftime shows. The newcomers were able to learn fast and pick up the slack. During gf. football and basketball seasons the marchers also played cheerleaders while playing in the pep band. During second semester, the Big Ten fight songs were replaced by concert music. For many, it was a difficult transition to make. While marching stressed the visual and the physical, concert music required more control and thoughtg the orientation was shifted toward guality of sound. ludging from the winter concert in February, however, the switch was no great difficulty. This was later confirmed at the Worlds of Fun Music Festival in April. The concert band captured a l rating, the highest possible at the competition. This had been achieved only once before in Prep history. The season was brought to a close with final performances at the District Music Contest and Commencement excercises. ln addition to those awarded to the concert band, there were also honors for selected individuals. Senior Chris Nolle and Scot Brown were selected to the All State Honor Band. Mark Bilgere was a first alternate. Cooperative Pupils Save Cans? No. CPSC stands tor Creighton Prep Science Club. Prep's long tradition ot excellence is further strengthened by this organization, with Mr. Dave Down at the helm. But just exactly what does this group ot students do, besides forgetting to pick up their newsletters? lt is a group ot students who are interested in science and engineering. They've toured facilities such as Methodist Hospital, visited the University of Nebraska Medical Center open house, toured the Strategic Air Command Aerospace Museum and its underground network Ceverything from underground tunnels with tour inch steel doors to the heart ot SAC's underground uniti. However this is not even a tenth ot their activities. That's right, one tenth. Most events are done with the Marian Science Club. This was the tirst year in which both CPSC and MSC have gone together on a tield trip turther than a hundred miles. They spent tive tun tilled days in Chicago. The going rate tor this year went as low as one dollar to the highest amount ot a mere l7 bucks. This included meals, lodging, admission tees, and insurance. Taking tours and tield trips alone couldn't be giving them national recognition. Qther achievements contribute: Creighton Prep's very own Science Club was voted the best TETS Chapter out ot SOO in the United States CTETS is the only national high school science organizationl. Both years in which they entered the TEAMS competition CTest of Engineering Aptitude Math and Sciencet, they placed tirst and second respectively.

The classroom, inhabited by typically bored students, became the springboard for those flights of fancy and visions of a more perfect existence which teachers so callously call daydreams. Very little traditional learning, and a noticeable absence of note-taking, occurs as the students delve into their own fertile imaginations for slightly altered versions of The Canterbury Tales, Casablanca, Dr. lelcyll and Mr. Hyde, and Romeo and luliet. Slides and special sound and lighting effects developed by Technical Director Harry lordan helped transfer the audiences' viewpoint from the reality to dream state. Several outstanding performances did more than their share to provide Take No Notes with its distinctive flavor. Greg Pierson's suspicious father perfectly offset loan Miller as a naive mother in First Date. Dan Mailliard and Ann Kuehn shone as a modern- day Romeo romancing a valley- influenced luliet. And Emily Nagl was outstanding in her fluid mimefdance, The Clown. Mr. lordan spread the credit widely when he observed: We've been fortunate this year to have many talented students who've given a great deal of their time creating their own scenes. So take note: Take No Notes was a delicious experience for all involved. ' ni I ,f- , .

From what everyone told me after 1984, I get the impression that we put on a pretty good play, but I think that if they would have stopped by one of our rehearsals, they wouldn't have come back to see the play at all. The rehearsals were chaos at first but when we started getting makeup, they were worse. I usually arrived late and got yelled at by someone. Then we got into our oversized costumes and looked for the props which were never where they were supposed to be. If the rehearsals left something to be desired, so did the Saturday night performance. Everything seemed to go wrong in the third act. In the first scene, Parsons CBlake Simmonsl and I CPaul Rankin, aka, Winston Smithl watched two guards dragged Symes CReece Nanfitol out of the room. When the second guard slammed the door, all the bars fell out. Blake and I sat as the audience exploded in laughter. Then we started giggling along with them. In the next scene O'Brien CMark Laughlinl forgot a pivotal line. I-Ie looked at me with an expression that said, Please help. Instead I buried my head in my arms and when I looked up I saw Mr. Harry Iordon flipping through the script wildly and Mrs. Iudy Petersen fthe directorl looking like a pillar of salt. I have tried to forget that performance, and remember the better parts of being in my first show. The technical crew attended to detail as if they were caring for a baby. One night they surprised the cast by wiring a pan of flashpowder to the telescreen so when Iulia CMargie Susl threw a book at it, it exploded. Also, the crowds were excellenty only a few unsold tickets. The rehearsals lasted for three months, but it was worth it. Mrs. Petersen seemed pleased. Mr. Iordan said, l'It was the best play I have worked on here at Prep. The efforts of all the people involved enhanced the play's character. Most of all we had fun: going to an after-rehearsal showing of Rocky Horror and to Mark Laughlin's house to watch video tapes of our performance, and having a cast party at a rea1 restaurant. How To Succeed At Debate Without Really' Trying Q. What Prep student spends each Friday in a different school? A. A debater. Throughout the entire school year the Prep debate team competed in numerous tournaments held at high schools and colleges all over the country. Coached by Mr. Alex Pritchard, the debaters were victorious, with all three Varsity teams qualifying for national tournaments to cap off a very good season. Championship debate requires a great deal of work and dedication. The debaters spend most of their time Cas much or more time than for schooll researching and practicing in preparation for tournaments. Although the season officially started in November, the work began in the summer at debate workshops and in the library. The season ended after the national tournaments in lune. The thirteen debaters earned many trophies which clutter the debate room. The varsity team won awards at tournaments ranging from Cincinnati, Chio, to Sioux Falls, however, were spent at contests in lowa and Nebraska. Prep, a school recognized nationally for its outstanding debate teams, had its reputation furthered by the 83-84 squad. The IV Novice teams also had an excellent season. The IV debaters won many trophies, including first place at Des Moines Valley High School and Augustana College. The TV members were Paul Bellus, Peter Budka, Tim Harmon, Blake Simmons, and Mike Urias. The two novices, Barry Milota and Brad Pospishil, did well at many local tournaments. With the arrival of Spring, the debaters headed into the home stretch. At the district qualifier for the National Forensics League tournament, NollefShin won a bid to Nationals at San Antonio, Texas. At the State tournament in Lincoln, McGill! Mullin lost a close final round, with BercawfCervany finishing third. The latter two teams attended the National Catholic Forensic Tournament in Cincinnati. Last on the regular schedule for the Varsity team was the Tournament of Champions at the University of Kentucky, the most prestigious tournament of the year, where entries are determined by invitation only. This debate squad followed a long line of impressive Prep squads and extended the excellence of Prep debate. Pritchard attributed their success to the great amount of dedication they exhibited. Then he headed off for summer workshops. gt Ll ..- , sf ' .-xg. -Q: ..-Nita- we ' , 3 aw--we .S :gs ty. . 5:43. 1-., a.. ff. W, . W .3-. Talking Tourneys The Speech Team had a really good season. lf that sounds cliched, it's because it is. Remember, this is the yearbook. Many people don't realize what the speakers go through to bring all their silver cups and wooden plagues back from various Midwestern tournaments. So, in a nutshell, here is what the Speech Team does seven to eight months of the school year. lt starts early in the fall when the speakers begin to choose their pieces. They make several trips to UNO, Creighton or Swanson library, researching topics and cuttings from plays, essays and books, written solely for a speakers pleasure or displeasure. Then, they cut, time, polish and cut some more. And the season begins. Practice inevitably leads to the first tournament. Leaving for a tourney is almost as much fun as jug. Anywhere from ten to fifteen guys are crammed into a van, or maybe two Toyotas, with enough baggage to keep a Cf l3l Starlifter on the ground. This ritual packing rguires an ordained Varsity speaker and two novice gg. imm J?f?f3 r'jm ,JAWS -f::fM :::.::v'-:g:f ---f .......,.. -- . ..,. .... . MW. ,... 3 ,E MW fi. was 3 , ,.,.,, ,., M ..

Things always get tighter due to the presence of lots and lots of trophies and McDonald's sacks. Many people never know what goes on at these tourneys, so here goes. The team arrives, unfolds and forges ahead. Mr. Russell then argues with the tournament officials and proves to their disbelief that the team does exist and has entered this contest. Later, rounds are posted and the speakers, now part of the Big Blue Fighting Machine, head to their rounds and compete against eight other people, each as excited and confidant as the Prep speakers. About ten hours later, awards are announced and afterwards, everybody goes home. Much time was used to prepare for the State Tournament in Lincoln. Seniors Tim Siragusa, lohn Nagl, left Caniglia, and Dave Rankin were at school until midnight practicing their Readers Theatre piece. The practice paid off, for the next day Prep took first place in the event for the fourth year in a row. Nagl and Caniglia both made finals in their respective events, and freshman Dave Dirgo shocked everyone by placing second in Extemp. tAbovel Speech Team: Coach Pat Russell, Tim Siragusa, loel ffedarstmnd, Dave Dirgo, Matt Martin, Dan Kramer, Dave Rankin, Paul Rankin, lohn Nagl, lason Caniglia. tBelowl ffye in the sky Dave Rankin watches over Dan Krainer. tQppo- site pagel Debate team: tsittingl Coacli Alex Prit- chard, Mike Urias, Tim Harmon, Pete Budkag tstandingl Dave Cervany, Chung Shin, Chris Bercaw, George Mullin, Paul Bellus, lim MwGill, Chris Nolle. tBelowl lt's a natural f- both the victory and the prize from the Botanical lnvital tional.

The old council left behind many accomplishments along with good communication lines among the council, the faculty and the administration. Most of their accomplishments could be attributed to the executive board members: President lim Q'Brien, Vice-President Bob Cusick, Secretary lim Stumpf, and Treasurer Fabian labro. A lot of credit also went to senior reps Steve Madigan, Rick l-fausman, and lohn Murray who contributed a great deal to the Council. Moderator Steve Wertzberger felt that they made a great Council because they gained respect from the Principal and Vice-Principal. Wertzbergers opinion was that because they 'lconducted themselves so well, they Ubrought more credibility to the Councils image. He said that as a whole they acted professionally. The main goal of the Council was to have good communication with the faculty and administration. This was because communication was poor when they took office and they realized that that was the key to becoming successful and making things happen. Some of the other accomplishments of the Council included: helping with tree day, starting Field Day, funding Big Brothers, and placing students on the curriculum and grading committees. The Councils greatest duty came in the fall, when the administration asked the executive board to interview and evaluate the candidates for the position of Principal. When Mr. lim Rouse was chosen, the board was glad to know that the powers that be had chosen someone that the board had recommended. The Council was both busy and X ,,.av4 ,J L 1 1953 successful, Not only did they accomplish their goal of better communication within the school but they won the respect of both students out their duties in a mature and professional manner.

You Get What You Work For The success of the National Honor Society this year was due to its leadership. Under the direction of moderator, Miss Tessie Edwards, a handful of NHS members steered the organization through a number of events. It proctored the eighth grade exams, gave parent tours, and prepared the induction ceremony for the new NHS members. And it did more. The NHS carried on the tradition of selling food to raise money for Operation Others. It also presented several guest speakers at Prep. The crowning accomplishment of the NHS was the Awards Ceremony, where achievements in academics, extracurriculars, and community work are recognized. The ceremony itself was well-organized, well done and on time. A classic case of saving the best til last. Most of this years NHS members thought they had joined an honorary society and, so, did nothing. A handful did almost everything on almost every project and they deserve a hand for a job well done. The Tonight Show Starring lohnny Naatz Cn the last Wednesday of every month of the school year, a light shone out into the normally darkened Fine Arts corridor. This light was an eagerly awaited beacon of truth, a probing and sometimes blinding beam. For it foretold the birth of another exciting issue of the Creighton Prep lay lournal. Actually those nine Wednesday nights were the birth of the issues which would be rushed to the printer Thursday morning and distributed to the students on Friday afternoons. At 8:00 on Wednesday night, Mr. lohn Naatz, assisted tif he were luckyl by two or three loyal staff members, began to lay out the eight blank sheets which would become, in a short three tfour? five?l hours, a newspaper. Munching on a Pounder bag of MSzM's tso that's where the journalism budget wentl contributed by Mr. Naatz, these intrepid journalists cut articles from the proofs returned by the printers and struggled to make them fit pages which were always either too small or too big for them. As the hours dragged on, tempers grew short, and pages stubbornly refused to take shape, articles were cut to fit, padded, and rewritten until their original authors would never recognize them. Liberties were taken with grammar, punctuation, and even Q.

By ll:OO or ll:3O, the student surveys had been compiled, headlines written, proofs checked and rechecked. No one cared any more if there was an interview on the editorial page or a letter to the editor underneath the season wrapup for the wrestlers, even headlines which were Htombstonedu could be forgiven. Eight pages had been filled - with Prep news, play reviews and even articles on David Bowie, but they'd been filled. The MSzM's and most of the staff were long gone as Mr. Naatz thankfully put the paper to bed and turned off the light in the lay lournal office. i. 33refii.iif?2.. S Producti. H ja. . 7,2 817. 322 u. i No, George Crwell Tsn't ln This Book Let's talk about this book. The theme is Play the Game . We are trying to stress the processes that get us through the school year: we go to classes, we take tests, we make triends. lt's really that simple. But it Calculus and PE. were the only things at Prep, it would be just another high school, right? We also tried to capture that extra dimension ot Prep: the hours ot practice and study and more practice, the performance and the payott. We did our best to cover those things peculiar to Prep: retreats, jug, and lots and lots ot days ott. This yearbook has a streamlined, eighties, MTV look that came about trom an intense meeting with losten's reps on the sunny plains ot Kansas. Partial thanks as well goes to my sister Kelly, who let us use her copies ot Circus, Pockline, Tenbag, Record, and other more obscure teenybopper rags trom which we copied some ot our layouts and graphic themes. Please take notice ot a tew new teatures: The type is set ragged right, which simply means that it looks like it does as opposed to what it looked like before. The quality ot the fulll 'l pictures in this book is prjmo, and guite trankly, it's the best l've seen in years. This is due in part to my going out and buying a Canon, and in part to transter student T. McLellan. CSure he's got a letter tor a name and he lives in Council Blutts, but he's a nice guy.j The rest ot the photo statt deserves laurels as well: Carlos Navarro, who gets all the credit tor those great Homecoming shotsg Tom Peschio and lohn Basque, who took some group shots: as well as other people who did one or two rolls tor us during the year. All ot their contributions are appreciated. The articles are due in part to copy editors Tohn Neuhaus, Randy Niehaus and lohn Nagl and to Mrs. Stein's College English classes. While T can't take the space to list all their names, they can be assured we are gratetul tor their assistance. Thanks go to sports editor Dave Keller and to assistant editors Dave Archer and Mike Erttmeier, who singlehandedly glued down all the pictures in the underclassman section. Another vile job, that ot lndex editor, was fm valiently handled by Peter Budka. Dan Lowndes did a lot ot work, too. Either that or he just stood around ' and drank Pepsi: l'm not sure which. And one big thank you to our moderators, Mrs. Lynne Bacon and Mrs. Sue Stein, who typed copy, wrote articles, prootread pages, and really cracked the whip when we got bogged down. Finally l'd like you to realize that this book is a labor ot love. lt isn't processed out ot a journalism class and we aren't trying to win any awards with it: it is done by volunteers in their tree time. That doesn't mean, however, that we can't take the blame tor our mistakes. lt you see something in this book you really hate, or even it we misspelled your name, don't tell me because l'll be hiding down at Creighton University where you can't tind me. But please do tell someone on the statt. They want to know how people teel about our book. To us, a yearbook is just a bunch ot cardboard sheets with pictures on them. To you l'm sure it's much, much more. l've probably written the longest editor's letter in living memory, so without turther ado, l'll leave you to enjoy the rest ot this book. - Tim Siragusa Extra!

Returning to Prep for practice Monday The following Monday saw afternoon, some Seniors were surprised iCommencement Exercises at the to find that the school was still standing. Many figured Prep would crumble to dust after they left. So it goes. Actually Commencement ceremonies began with the Graduation Dinner at Creighton University. E. l. Millitti was M.C. Speakers were lohn Hughes, leff Caniglia, and Mr. Alex Pritchard. The dinner was followed immediately by the Baccalaureate Mass at St. lohn's Church. The Mass was celebrated by Fr. Dan Kenney, Sl., and the homilist was Pr. G. Ted Bohr, Sl. The choir, made up of faculty, lesuits and students was directed by Fr. Dick Tomasek, Sl. Grpheum Theater. Probably the most interesting part of the evening came before the program, as spectators watched cars trying to get past the lotl Street construction and find a parking spot. lim Stumpf was salutatorian and the valedictorian address was given by George Mullin. The Alumnus Award was given posthumously to Mr. Thomas E. Roach. A special Parents' Award was given to Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Steier. Various parties and get-togethers were held in the following days tand nightsjg the most widely attended was at Parker Schenkens the night of Graduation. :.........., 1 L.-gg, 1 .5 fC1OCTkWlSG from far leftl Gradudnon practu-Q was tom much imr some peo- ple hkw Dan Cmeyg Todd Iohnson and Mlke Gordon L-agreed that weannq stu' pld hais and cl q1r1's dress was Fi small enough prxce tm pay to fret than dxplof Indsy Resernbllncq A huqe symphony Or- fghestm, the soon-to-be-qrefiuated SSHIOIS llsten IIITSIIUY to Mr. SUHIVGHIS 1nstrnc'11c'nnsg Pcmnq outsrde The Or' pheum for pugtures was lust one of many post-Cornrnencifernent dCjtlV1ti9S for the Graduates and thelr incnds, Here are Matt Marnn, Steve Stem- kdmp, M1ke Cndmberldln and Iohn ,7-fi':E.1': YM IiI!l'Tf'P3!1'1 I'ffR- n1qht'?

X 13,4 Atinlay Ubclay lvestray Crfay Estbay Earyay Etyay The Latin Club was revived in the hope that the classics might not just infiltrate the students' school hours, but also might become an invigorating and titillating extracurricular as well. Membership was limited to fourth year students only, so these scholars could establish a foundation for the future. The officers were Head Tribune Mike Sorrell, Vice-Tribune lohn Nagl, Secretario Eric Scholar, and Treasurer lohn Andresen. The other members assumed the roles of consuls and senators. Sorrell was both feared and admired by the members, Many grumbled about his strict attendance rules Cno one missed a meeting all yearb, yet they also waited anxiously for Mike to spout forth such words of wisdom as, Togas may be dead but we've still got class. Moderator Mr. Mark Gustafson Caffectionately known as Gus D had as his main task learning how to tie a toga properly. After accomplishing this, Gus emphasized the importance of modesty: The thing l keep telling these guys about wearing togas is that they must 'semper ubi sub ubi.' l know that 'errare humanum est,' but this is ridiculous. Besides the vital knowledge on togas, the club offered a chance to visit Creighton University's seminar on Greek food. Many members cited the recitation of the Iliad in three acts by a real live bard as the year's highlight. One shortcoming was the failure to establish a scholarship whereby a copy of the Aeneid would be given to the most deserving junior. The officers envisioned a pop sale which would fund the scholarship for the next twenty years. Mike Hosking, representing the Pseudo-Spanish Club, gave an outsider's view of the Latin Club: lt's a shame so many lives were lost. Eric Scholar went a little bit deeper on the same subject: Latin hurnbles one as he realizes how little he is compared to the typical citizen of immortal Rome. And besides, if those Commies weren't so pig- headed, we never would have lost Nam. More than just scholarship was emphasized. The club brought comraderie and many insights into the lives of the other members. lude Cook shared his insight: l'Sitting behind Scholar has taught me more about life and has led rne to believe that Eric and Virgil are one and the same person. I have thus set up a scholarship whereby one student will sit behind a life-sized mannequin of Eric with a tape recorder, reliving what l've experienced. The Latin Club has set a precedent that maybe too difficult to follow. 48 lBelowi The Eggheads, a Field Day soil- ball team, qei psyched for lhe day which included a IOY4 loss io the Nads and an 84-iriniriq triumph at Elmwoodg lriqhtj While that was qoiriq on, lohn Mullen lell oil his Car lthal's right, fell off his Carl in the parking lol and qot the marks lo prove it. .dx f KX .T Y W N 3 Q wp I Q 5. 56 su, A W 15' 'N :.KL Qs -f ,NK Q ii 4 i, Q li W-:,. 8 1n-...X ,-- if A-NQWWNUK Q- sf' S V 1 f a - Q..

You rise up from your bunk, but your head is brought to an abrupt halt by the bunk above you. You revive yourself with an icy slap of water. You throw on your clothes and proceed toward the chow house for some of the best ad lib cooking you could imagine. You're now ready to face the day. Perhaps the day will offer you the challenge of digging a drainage ditch in rock hard ground, or the exhilaration of white water rafting on the Snake River. , . rprrr . You might have to hack your way through thick foliage while searching for a surveyors stake, or you might get to enjoy the serenity of canoeing on a glass-smooth lake as an eagle soars overhead. Your job may be to help Fr. Kenney in the kitchen, a Herculean task, or you may find yourself facing the grandeur of the Tetons in the middle of a two or three day hike. You may feel some animosity toward your peers, but the common experience of camp life brings everyone closer. Any feeling of discontent is guickly dispelled by the sight of an elk, a deer, or a moose playing close by. Maybe a slight case of home sickness has set Buford Gives Campers A Taste Qt Independence And Self- Direction in, easily cured by a visit to Yellowstone National Park. Buford, Fr. Kenney's camp for young and disadvantaged kids, has been operating for several years with Prep students serving on an assistants to Father. lt's important to point out that Buford isn't an all-play, vacation atmosphere, but it definitely isn't all work. Fr. Kenney's idea is to offer the experience of the wilderness to kids who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity. But the camp goes beyond that. Most of the kids receive tutoring. Work days, scheduled to keep the camp functioning, bring everyone closer together. The experience offers a valuable source of independence to many. lt gives the camper a crack at responsibility and some time away from home. lt is not a bed of roses, but most of Buford's graduates would agree that the challenges one must face can't compare to the challenges one chooses to face while at Buford.

Another year had come and gone and without knowing it, you played the game one more time. You even served all the jugs you got tor not having an excuse atter Senior Skip Day. You stayed up until two in the morning catching up on your trig assignments so Fr. Bisbee would exempt you.

The weather was surprisingly mild, meaning no shortened days because ot heat. But even though exams were through and teachers had cleaned out their desks and turned in their grades, even though the padlocks had been removed and the lockers were empty, the school teemed with activity and lite. But this was the special kind ot lite given it by people, many ot whom were there because they wanted to be there. Every day the tields were alive with baseball and soccer players and guys cutting the grass. The building itself was filled with people Cno longer separated by the names 'lteachersu and pupils , but just peoplel painting murals and practicing their speeches tor summer tournaments and doing maintenance and tinishing a yearbook. Another year had come and gone. You tinally finished To Kill a Mockingbird, even though you did so atter the test. When you crossed the stage at graduation, you didn't even hear the applause from the audience and the screams from your girlfriend in the balcony.
