The Warrior VOLUME 42 FULLERTON HIGH SCHOOI FULLERTON, NEBRASKA ¥ ‘LOVE. SCHOOLIS... Being seniors and coming back to school and laughing at underclassmen suffering through classes. Getting your squirt gun taken away after you've just bought it. Having a fire drill and you're only half dressed in the gym. Putting your hand through the bus window on the senior trip. Getting caught chewing gum after you've just put it in your mouth. Running over to the cafeteria right away and finding out your class eats last. Waiting outside in the rain for the one o'clock bell to ring. c te Te ‘ a ee ae Bey Pte 5, oe x TABLE OF CONTENTS Faculty Organizations (Sy (iii ibs Serres fe. re eye. eRe 3] Academics Mary George, Rosemary Lesiak, and Eva McKeeman dissect a pig in physiology, a new course offering. To give their drab lockers a little life, students used their artistic talents to express their feelings. Curriculum Offers Four New Classes Considerable interest was shown in the four new classes that the administration saw fit to include in the curriculum. Health Ed., German, Physiology, and Ag. Mechanics noticeably broadened the present cur- riculum and added new interest to an otherwise aver- age schedule. 1971 brought about many changes, not only in the curriculum but also in the dress code and other areas of school. Looking toward the future, these changes and additions will help the student to prepare for a future worthwhile and to be able to further himself in whatever he undertakes. Even though this may seem like all work and no play, classes included just the right amount of fun to brighten up a day at school. German brought the fun of learning a new language and fooling those who didn’t understand; the other classes had lab experiences that brought about learning as well as enjoyment. The years have produced notable changes and future ones will bring continued improvement as we try to make the 70’s the best decade ever! Some jobs in shop.need four hands rather than two. “Watch it, Roger!” Magazines, books, newspapers, students, meetings, gum, and detention— that is a study hall, Home Economics I and II students M.

Art is self-expression of a student; but as A. Sack and S. Zywiec show, it requires work. Gathered around the newly acquired video-tape machine are 1970-71 Board of Education: Mr. Richard Russell, Mr. Earl Bishop, Mr. Dale Ballentine, Dr. B. W.

With updated curriculum and equipment students were given a better chance of advancement. Some of the new additions were the video-tape machine, the Olivitti Logos Computer- calculator, and the Sharp Electronic _ Calculator. Another important change was the addition of pant- suits to the dress code. The job of an administrator isn’t one of the most sought-after jobs and isn’t always the most apprecia- ted, but it is very important to the survival of a high school. The main administrators that the students come in contact with are the principal and the super- intendent. These two jobs require an understanding of students, but also a mutual respect for each other and for each other’s values. With this kind of understand- ing and an effort from everyone the quality of our school will continue to escalate. Max Irvin, principal, issues Debby Nelson a make-up slip. Personnel Work Behind Scenes When one thinks of a school, one usually thinks of students, faculty, and administration; but there are several other individuals whose work is essential to its welfare. Without secretaries, cooks, and custodi- ans, there would be few records, no food, and much confusion Mrs. Margaret Leininger, secretary, “Sweetheart of F.H.S.,” updates her books Keeping a record of the students’ meals occupied much of Mrs. Jack Mann’s time. Mr. Virg Kula, an F.H.S. custodian, performs one of his essential duties Mr. Ray Dubas takes time out from his busy custodial schedule at Fullerton High Mrs. Annabelle Hansen, Mrs. Liz Stopak, and Mrs. Alice Sidders prepared school lunches Guidance counselor Walter Wolvin reviews future college plans with Rosemary Lesiak. Home economics teacher Mrs. Irene Kula gives Mary George pointers in an assignment. Mr. Harold Dissmeyer instructs Voc. Ag. students in the identification of plant types. Teacher Must Play Many Varied Roles Throughout the year, teachers are shown every variety of human nature by their students; yet they manage to show sympathy and compassion in time of need. To be a teacher is to be an advisor, a critic, a disciplinarian, a friend, and most of all a human be- ing. Although students don’t often really think about it, teachers are truly SPECIAL! Mrs. Jacky Uhler is a great help in all of the business courses she teaches. Librarian Mrs. Janette Knowles helps Susan Zywiec prepare new books for student use. Sometimes German grammar isn’t quite what it seems to be as Mr. Leigh Metcalf explains. “Verstehst du?” Mr. Rodger Bassett tells Roger Nesbitt the deadline for making up the government test Class discussion was the order of the day in Mrs. Joan Bassett’s junior English class Mr. Gerald Collingham seems to be trying hard to help Jane Kozial improve her art project Miss Roni Meyer looks very cheerful after a day of ex- plaining English grammar to freshmen. “Oh, how beautiful this sounds!” Mr. Gary Yost really does have a good ear for music. Physics students M. Milby and M. Morgan observe Gary Hall’s electricity experiment. Mr. Warren Hellbusch doesn’t know what to think about Terri Zumbrunn’s mixed-up chemicals Class participation and discussion are important in Mr. Ralph Kos- kela’s science class. “Just one more, Jim,” urges Mr. Dean Petricek during Doug Gilson seems skeptical about his mechanical draw- a test in one of his P.E. classes. ing, but Mr. Barry Miller can help. Mr. Bill Uhler tells the juniors that Algebra l isn’t THAT hard. . Y v iS . Organizations a = . Student Council members for the 1970-71 school year included: TOP CENTER: P. Bialas. BACK ROW: J.

Among the “regular” projects were: Sadie Hawkins Dance, Career Day, and, of course, filling the pop machines for thirsty students. New projects undertaken by the Council included a breakfast program, which was well supported; an amended dress code, whereby girls are now able to wear pantsuits in place of dresses; and the sponsor- ing of a senior student to be sent to Presidential Classroom program in Washington, D.C. A member of the senior class is selected by a panel to represent Fullerton at the seminar, and the Student Council raises money through various projects. The program met wide approval and will continue to be an annual project as long as enthusiasm remains as strong as it was in 1971. As always, much credit for the Council’s progress should go to the sponsor, Mr. Bill Uhler. Student Council members P. Wetovick and D. Wondercheck are seen filling the pop machine, a Council activity. Loyal Annual Staff Works Long Hours Among the several changes introduced by the 1971 Warrior staff was the monogrammed cover with its unusual color combination of brown and beige, a sig- nifant variation from past covers.

Pep Club promoted spirit and provided morale among the athletic squads in many ways this past year. Besides the numerous signs and posters that were displayed in the halls at school, there were many new ideas that were used Some of the new spirit-promoting ideas included a “Big Mouth” award for the loudest yelling Pep Club girl at each game, Warrior signs made by the Pep Club girls for the players’ cars and houses, and Indian headbands for the Pep Club girls to wear. The pre-season bonfire started off the football season and was followed by the Homecoming activi- ties. Homecoming activities included uptown window painting, the Homecoming parade, and the crowning of the queen New uniforms were also obtained this year, and combined with the new ideas, helped to make this past year a very successful one for the Pep Club.

Receive Honors At Cheerleading Clinic This year’s cheerleaders attended the National Cheerleaders Association Summer Clinic at Chadron State College for five days in June. In four sets of competition the girls received four Superior ratings. They won the “spirit stick’ three times, one of these in final competition; therefore, the squad brought home the “spirit stick” and used it at F.H.S. to inspire the Pep Club and team at.all games. Also Judy Maly was asked to apply to become an NCA instructor at the next clinic, which will be held in the summer of 1971. The Varsity Cheerleaders were three seniors, Judy Maly (head cheerleader), Vickie Lewis, and Cathy Umstead: and two juniors, Dorene Hebda and Kendra Baker. The Reserve cheerleading squad con- sisted of four sophomores. They were Julie Hunzeker, Varsity cheerleaders (clockwise) V. Lewis, J. Maly, D. Hebda, K Susan Knowles, Janet Brower, and Gwen Knopik. Both Baker, and C. Umstead (center) led students and teachers in support squads worked hard to instill a lot of pep and spirit te hen, into all of the students and teachers at Fullerton High School.

Musicians Get High Awards At Contest Fullerton musicians ranked very high this year at the annual District Music Contest held in Albion. The mixed chorus and boys’ glee both earned a well- deserved “excellent” rating in competition. Individual members also earned well-deserved ratings ranging not below “excellent”. Fullerton’s only two piano solos played by juniors Mary Morgan and Dorene Hebda both earned “‘superior’s.””. Mary and Dorene also gained a “superior” on their piano duet to start the list of ““Superior”’ ratings. Serving as accompanists for the various groups Susan Knowles and Sandy Kramer achieved a “superior” rating this year were freshman Gail Channer, juniors Mary on their vocal duet at Contest. Morgan, Dorene Hebda, and Mark Gloor, and senior Jean Drury. The selected Madrigal group also performed at the contest and earned an “excellent” rating. In addi- tion to contest competition, Madrigal and mixed cho- rus also participated in the Christmas program and various clinics. — r= wank — A Fitzgerald, A. Sims, M. Gloor, D. Gilson. THIRD ROW: D.

The squad had to overcome many barriers before they could begin to function at the top of their ability. One of the obstacles was the ever- present problem of injuries. Many of the returning lettermen received injuries both before and during the season. The team was able to pull itself together and function as one unit, thus achieving a winning season. The team worked under the able supervision of Head Coach Barry Miller and his staff of dedicated assistants. Due to his fine coaching and his knowl- edge of the game, the team was able to put out an extremely fine effort the majority of the time. This year, as usual, the Warrior team was able to supply a number of squad members to the All- Conference team. They were Bob Oakley, Dick Ksia- zek, Dave Fitzgerald, and Roger Nesbitt. Now the team is preparing itself for the up- coming season. BACK ROW: D. Ksiazek, D. Gilson, B. Oakley, J. Kramer, P Evers, D. Fitzgerald, D. Schweitz, J. Shotkoski, K. Smovyer Mewmaw, L.

Horacek, D. Zabka, R. Nesbitt, B. Anderson, Student Manager D. Maybon. Netters Stuff Hoop But Road Is Rough The 1970-71 Warrior basketball season finished with a disappointing record of 4-14. Close to the start of the season the team suffered a serious setback, due to the loss of a key player. The team, even though they put out a 100% effort, were not able to win against many considerably tougher teams Most of the team’s strength has graduated so the coach is looking ahead to some promising cagers. Among them are Rick Roewert, Mark Gloor, Jeff Horacek, Tom Delancey, and Bill Anderson. There are a couple of sophomores who will bear watching in the near future; they are Randy Furby and ‘in Kramer. Coach Gerald Collingham did a fine job coaching the reserves who had a 4-9 record, and Coach War- ren Hellbusch worked hard with the freshmen who had a losing season.

Considering that this was the initial year for girls’ track, the amount of participation was very high. The number of girls just about equaled the number of boys out for track. Head Coach Gerald Collingham was excited over the prospect that there will be a girls’ squad next year. The outlook is good, with many juniors and sophomores returning after earning their first-year letters. The two girls who rated the highest in points this year were Sandy Kramer and Julie Hunzeker. Sandy participated in the 880-yard run and the discus. Julie ran the 440-yard dash, 100-yard dash, and the 50- yard low hurdles. This was the first year that the girls were in- vited to the Athletic Banquet for participating in a sport rather than for being a Varsity Cheerleader or a senior pep club member. It added a new spark to the banquet and a significant change to F.H.S. athletic history. Knowles. S. Makowski, N. Gdowski, M. Morgan, C. Penne, B. Bish, J. Brower, L. Cox. FRONT ROW: J. Maly, J.

Tracksters Oppose Strong Competition The 1971 Warrior varsity boys’ track squad this year had to oppose some very strong competition from schools both in and out of our conference. Despite the opposition, Fullerton tracksters were able to shine above everyone else in many events. The one event that surprised the most .people was the two-mile run. The participant was a freshman, Kevin Morris, who showed some very promising talent. In the shot and discus Bob Oakley did an out- standing job. Bob was able to represent Fullerton at the state track meet held in Kearney this year. Bob was also the total points winner for the season. The two-mile relay team comprised of Jeff Shot- koski, Tom Nesbitt, Tom Delancey, Jack Nelson, and alternate Tom Elznic were in the spotlight and should receive credit for their outstanding efforts. This group showed a great deal of talent at the district meet at Grand Island against some formidable competitors.

Bob Oakley, however, qualified for the State Meet in the shotput. Coaches felt that both squads showed strength and the season was a success. The annual Athletic Banquet was held on April 3 this year. The head coaches of each sport spoke to the honored athletes, cheerleaders, and senior Pep Club members, summing up the football and basket- ball seasons and making predictions for the track season. Le ttermen for the football and basketball programs were announced and prospects for next year were cited. The banquet’s finale was filmed highlights of the Cornhusker Football season.

This dramatic play is a true story based upon the actual writings found in the diary of a young Jewish girl, who, along with seven others, for two and a half years, hiding from the Nazis, lived in the “Secret Attic” of a warehouse. Faced with many hardships and fears, these people constantly struggled with reality in an attempt to maintain their sanity.

The activities resumed that evening with a Louplatte Conference gridiron contest, Fullerton taking top honors from Wood River with a final score of 34-0. The crowning of Judy Maly as 1970 Homecoming Queen was the highlight of the half- time program. Her attendants included Carol Brower, Rosemary Lesiak, Glenda Schwensen, Vicki Smoyer, and Cathy Umstead. The 1970 festivities were cli- maxed the following evening by a dance held in the high school auditorium, honoring the queen and roy- alty. “The Rouges’ Gallery,’ a rock group from Norfolk, provided the music for the Homecoming finale.

A ‘Moonlight Oasis’ Sets Prom Theme The auditorium was transformed into an Arabian desert to set the scene for “Moonlight Oasis,” the theme for the 1971 Junior-Senior Prom. The evening began with the banquet, where the guests were served by the waiters and waitresses chosen from the sopho- more class. They were apparelled in Arabian Nights attire and entertained after the dinner with a song and dance. Mark Gloor, junior class president, served as Master of Ceremonies and welcomed the senior guests. A response was made by senior class president Roger Nesbitt, and the program closed with Mr. Gerald Collingham addressing the seniors, taking them on a “tour” of their school years. Gay-colored formals, popular music, and the beautiful decorations made the evening prom a: gala affair. A musical ensemble from Kearney provided the dance music and performed in a night-club style, the first of its type at Fullerton High. It was met with widespread enthusiasm and added to the romantic at- mosphere which is so much a part of Prom. This cre- ated the grand finale for an exciting evening.

Aspiring Graduates Seek Responsibility The senior class of 1971 leapt into its role as leaders with excitement, pride, and thanksgiving. At last, the frightened freshmen of four years ago had become the reigning upperclassmen. No member of the class could ever forget the experiences shared during the last year at F.H.S. Class loyalty and a “count-off” calendar marking the days left till grad- uation filled the year with memories. Most unforget- table of all was the Senior Sneak. Although the trip to Colorado was a “dry run,” it can truthfully be said of the class of °71: “They tried!” For all, the ex- citement of being a senior hurried the year along to its end. Now the Graduates of 1971 face the future with the words: “I’m Not Afraid of Tomorrow, For I’ve Seen Yesterday and I Love Today.” S. Bourn R. Casebolt P. Bialas C.

Still others, through worry or procrastination, are always waiting for tomorrow. In either case, there’s the real danger of overlooking a very important day...today. For this is the place and the time for living. Let us live each day abundantly and beautifully while it is here.” Esther Baldwin York WALSWORTH Marceline. M LSA NE eT ET ee — hy
