One word that describes sophomore Anne Madison, who spends at least two hours each day during the school year practicing the piano. In the summer, her practice time increases to four hours, but her work is not in vain. Madison was one of three winners of the 13th annual Youth Concert Audition that occurred in November of 1986 at the Witherspoon Concert Hall of Jos-lyn Art Museum. Madison presented a fifteen minute program on the piano and was announced a winner on August 19, 1987. She recently became a finalist and placed third in a music competition sponsored by the Omaha Symphony. She competed against other students from Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Kansas. The contest took place at the Strauss Performing Arts Center at the University of Nebraska campus in Omaha. Madison received $100 in addition to the sense of accomplishment she feels by becoming a finalist. Madison is very active in music. She is a member of Swing Choir, Choir, and plays the trumpet in the Band. When asked how she feels about all the work she must put into her music she replied, “I don’t get to do a lot of things such as having a job or playing sports, and I really miss that, but I enjoy seeing the results that ten years of hard work has given me.” Sophomore Anne Madison polishes up contest material in preparation for state competition. 24 Sophomores

With close to 300 students from across the state being in attendance, the competition was as tough as ever. Five NCHS students participated in this year’s Science Fair. They were Becky Cook, Doug Krussel, Kari Stoakes, Cherelyn Ramold, and Anne Madison. They had to come up with their own project idea being in the field of Science which they would like to know more about. They range from working with concrete, to testing the growth of radishes with a special water. There are many different proce- dures you must go through to be in the Science Fair. First, the participants must give a rough outline describing what they are trying to prove in their project, as well as a registration fee. Later on they must fill out all the necessary forms as well as complete their final abstract. Then a display board is prepared for the finished project to be presented upon. There the students display them to the various judges and onlookers. There is a certain sense of accomplishment after you have created a good project. For some it could even bring future plans into prospect, “I thought it would help me experience research and to help me decide if I want to pursue a career in Science,” said junior Becky Cook. Sophomore Cherelyn Ramold tests the growth of radishes as part of her science project. 26 Sophomores
