Inflation was a key word as prices and interest rates kept rising. A move of conserva- tism was instigated as Ronald Reagan was elected President and Charles Grassley defeated John Culver for the Iowa Senator posi- tion. The big day for news was in Jan- uary when President Reagan was inaugurated and the American hostages were released from Iran after 444 days of captivity. The hostages, including Kathryn Koob of Jesup. Iowa, were honored with parades and celebrations as Americans everywhere opened their hearts to welcome them home. It was also a year of tragedy as both President Reagan and Pope John Paul II were wounded during assassination attempts. Also, the death of John Lennon started a revival of Beatle music. It was the year for designer jeans and bright colors. The movie UR- BAN COWBOY” started the west- ern look. Other popular movies were NINE TO FIVE. ORDINARY PEOPLE, FRIDAY THE 13th, and JAZZ SINGER. Hit songs were AN- OTHER ONE BITES THE DUST. KEEP ON LOVIN’ YOU. MORNING TRAIN, LOST IN LOVE, AND HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT by groups such as REO Speedwagon, Styx, Air Supply. AC-DC, Pat Benatar. and Queen. Yes, the be- ginning of the 80’s was filled with many memorable moments. The 1981 Wheeler captures some of these moments around Audubon High School in hopes that sharing these pages will bring us all some pleasant memories. I.

For us to go our separate ways to find our real selves and live life to its fullest. As individuals each one of us has our own special needs and goals but as a class we have learned to grow and understand each other, friendship. life. and love. With these four aspects, we can strive to be happy with others. We will never forget our school days. our teachers. our fellow classmates. our activities. our younger friends. But now — our future is upon us and each of us must go our separate ways. . . . —Lori Thomas STUDENT LIFE I. Joel Rattenborg.

Seniors 27 Junior In tigale flew Prom Style To raise money for prom, the Ju- niors sold magazines. The money raised from the sales fell short of the set goal. The prom meal was changed from a banquet to a buffet. The juniors voted on this change to try some- thing new and also to save mon- ey. Most of the juniors voted in favor of the change, but a few didn’t. Joni Madsen said. 'T look at it as a big disappointment to the seniors as they worked so hard to make last year's prom a success. After trying prom this way for a year, they will then decide if they should continue or change the style in the future. One junior class sponsor said that the suc- cess of prom will depend on the action of the juniors and seniors. 1. From left 10 right.

Junior Class 33 Sophs Shatter V-l-C-T-O-R-Y that’s the sopho- more battle cry. This was heard at every pep rally at AHS. They showed the most spirit and won the spirit stick almost every time. The sophomores worked hard as they won second in the float con- test for Homecoming. The sophomore girls said Mr. Henkenius was the best edition to AHS this year. They also liked not having to go to geography class. They all hated having the win- dows boarded up. They also hate not getting to sit in the Junior- Senior catwalk. So sophomores, you can keep your spirit up and look forward to sitting in the Ju- nior-Senior catwalk next year. 1. Robyn Parris and Debbie Alberlsen work hard making posters. 2.

As new members of high school, the freshman class shares many likes and dislikes, and ups and downs, throughout the school year. Hey Frosh. carry my tray back or you'll get a bubbly! This threat could often be heard at lunch. Freshmen were constantly being swindled into doing favors for upperclassmen. When asked what they liked worst about their first year of high school, the freshmen said they were terrified walking through the Junior-Senior cat- walk, being stared over by upperclassmen, hoping they made it safely through the hall. 40 freshmen But. high school also offered some good experiences for the first year high schoolers. Freshmen said they enjoyed getting to choose some of their classes. They also liked having open campus for semester tests and having a variety of extracurricular activities. Freshmen showed school spirit by winning the Flomeeoming Float Competition, but they failed to capture the spirit stick at pep as- semblies. The freshmen of 1981 thought they were picked on and treated badly by upperclassmen, but next year they’ll be the ones picking on the new freshmen. I. Unlike the other freshmen.

Freshman Class 45 ECADD FACED Five members of the community donate their time and services to be members of the Audubon School Board. This year's board consists of: Annette Johnson-President David Hansen-Vice President Lana Feuring-Director Gary Williamson- Director Fred Searls-Director Board members are all locally elected, nonsalaried, state offi- cials. They are elected by major- ity vote but must reside in a spe- cific director district. Flonor, respect, and satisfaction are their rewards for directing the school district. The superintendent, busi- ness manager, and board secre- tary, employees of the school dis- trict. are usually in attendance at board meetings. Those in charge of signing the graduates' diplomas are Mr. Floffman. the principal. Mr. Paulson, superintendent. Annette Johnson, president, Allen Jacobsen, board secretary. The school board is in charge of hiring teachers, secretaries, su- perintendents, custodians, and principals. The school board is re- sponsible for making the policies and rules that govern our local district. 1. The 1981-82 school board members consist of: (Back Row) Mr. Paulsen. Allen Jacobsen.

School Board 47 AHS Continues Accreditation You've probably heard of the Na- tional Honor Society which honors outstanding students and the All- State program which honors stu- dents in the fine arts area and athletics, but have you heard of an honors organization for schools? Well, the Northcentrai Association (NCA) of Schools is one. NCA is made up of schools who have proved to be above and be- yond the state requirements of schools. Audubon has been a member since 1933. Every seven years the school is evaluated, and the 1980-81 school year is the sev- enth year. In the fall, teachers and people from the community who knew about the school pro- grams, but looked at them from the community’s point of view, filled out self-evaluation forms. They rated the types of programs offered to the students, their re- sources, and extracurricular ac- tivities. In the fall of 1981, a group of men and women on the NCA board will come and observe all of the classes. They will evaluate the school and compare their evalua- tions to those made by faculty and community members. If they see something that could be im- proved. they will make recommen- dations to the school administra- tors. The school doesn’t have to use these recommendations. One example was during their last inspection. They recommended that organization meetings be held during the school day in- stead of after school so that all of the students could attend. If the inspectors find something that doesn’t meet their require- ments of NCA schools, they will tell the administrators and if it is not changed, they will lose their membership. An example would be if a teacher with an English de- gree is teaching math. He may have the state requirements to teach math but not the NCA re- quirements. In some cases, they will give the school a grace peri- od to make these changes, but in other cases they won’t. It has been a great honor for our school to be an NCA member for the past forty-eight years. By up- holding these high standards. Au- dubon High School can remain in it's position as one of the presti- gious NCA schools. I. Mr. Linn (right) explains his grading sys- tem to one of the new substitute teachers. 3.

Mathematics Faculty 49 faculty Donate Time Instructing students in a class- room all day isn't the only thing teachers do. They have many oth- er duties that go along with their teaching career. Twelve of the teachers at Audu- bon High School coach either football, softball, baseball, basket- ball, volleyball, tennis, track, cross-country, or golf throughout the year. The music department has many extracurricular duties such as State Solo and Ensemble Contest. Large Group Contest and Swing Choir Contest. Mr. Keller handles the vocal music activities and Mr. Bourne directs all instrumental music. Mr. Casey and Mrs. Hansen are the drama club advisors and speech coaches. Mrs. Hansen directs any one-act plays. Mr. Casey directs all of the three-act plays during the year. All school-sponsored clubs have at least one teacher as their spon- sor. Mrs. Kristensen is the Pep Club and Cheerleader sponsor. The FFA advisor is Mr. Petersen and Mr. Kristensen is the sponsor of Student Senate and Model UN. Some other sponsors and their ac- tivities are Mrs. Monahan (Nation- al Honor Society), Mr. Rasmussen and Mr. Knutson (Hi-Y), Mrs. Pep- pers and Miss Takach (Y-teens), Mrs. Kristensen and Mrs. Peppers (FHA), and Mrs. Wambold (AFS). All teachers are also a sponsor for one of the classes. Teaching is more than an eight- hour-a-day job. It takes much work on their part to make the extracurricular program at AHS the success that it is. Don Kristensen Government.

Faculty 51 COUNSELORS ANALYZE The Counselors share with person- nel. parents, and the community a responsibility for helping people to become contributive citizens to society. Counselors help students to make plans after they graduate by (I) the students abilities (as compared with those of his peers), (2) the nature of the alter- natives. and (3) the advantages of each. The most important seg- ment of the Counselor’s work is the direct contacts they have with the students through individ- ual conferences. For all students there is at least one conference held during the course of the year. These confer- ences involve test score interpre- tations. future plans, hobbies, summer work, academic progress, or whatever else the students want to discuss. 1. Busy Mrs. Smith keeps track of stu- dent schedules. 2. Mr. Rasmussen takes time-out to read the paper. 3. Mrs. Carter works readily at her desk. 52 Counselors Secretaries share a big part in helping out with various jobs. They write the announcements, give students absent slips or passes to a class if they are tar- dy. and they take phone mes- sages for the students. The secretaries help the faculty by doing all the duplicating of materials. They perform all the clerical duties as required by the superintendent and principals. The always-calm secretaries keep the offices running with efficien- cy. I. Keeping attendance records is a time- consuming task for Joyce Grotel- uschen.

Few people real- ize the hard work they do. The custodians put in many hours, es- pecially on the nights of home games. They have to wash towels, clean up the gym and locker rooms, and set up the tables and chairs in the cafeteria. The Audubon kitchen personnel have a total of 77 years exper- ience in preparing the lunches. Led by nineteen-year veteran. Frances Walters, the kitchen staff's duties include planning and preparing well-balanced meals, as well as all the cleaning and wash- ing dishes that it takes to feed 420 people. I. and 2.

CHANCES CONSERVE ENERGY Many changes took place at the high school during the 1980-1981 school year. The changes, which helped conserve energy, were prompted by the increasing amount of the budget that was used for fuel consumption. During the summer, a new roof was put on the school. That in- cluded adding a thick layer of in- sulation to the existing structure. A vestibule entrance was added to the front of the school. The glass that was there conducted the cold air into the cafeteria. Another row of windows and doors was added six feet in front of the old windows. A special in- sulated glass was used to prevent cold air from entering the cafete- ria. Stephen May Construction of Audubon and Carroll Glass added the new entrance. In the fall, the main windows of the school were replaced with a one-inch, polyurethane styrofoam. The one window of each set which remained was replaced by a five eighths inch thermal glass to prevent heat loss. The new windows are two sheets of glass with three eighths inch of space between them to trap the cold air and keep it from entering the classrooms. This was done by Ele- ment Control of Omaha, Nebras- ka. The changes were funded by a federal energy grant. Money was appropriated by the National En- ergy Act to help schools and hos- pitals make energy-saving changes. AHS qualified for the money and received $58,000 in matching funds from the govern- ment for the changes. I. From back to front. Andy Buss. Mike Elrod, and Nick Jones remove the windows from the school. 56 Energy Conservation A double entrance was added to the front of the high school. This hallway will keep the cold air from entering the cafeteria. This summer, a new roof was put on the school. Much machinery was used for this task. Of each set of four windows, the top two windows and the bottom left win- dow were removed. They were re- placed by polyurethane styrofoam panels for insulation. It is an hour before the game and there is that certain feeling in the air once again. It happens every week about the same time. There is a feeling of tension, not knowing the other teams’ capabilities There's that feeling of uncertainty, knowing what strange and unaccountable events can happen in a game. Yet. there is a feeling of confidence, know- ing what our team can do. The confidence that each one is capable and has the desire to do her job. There is also a feeling of extreme closeness. It is now game time, and it is this heavy feeling of emotion, closeness, and desire that makes us the winners we are. —Nole White 58 o o ATHLETICS 1.

The Pep Club received a huge re- sponse to their activities as many students participated in building spirit for Homecoming. The Pep Club also organized the activities for the half-time show at the Homecoming Coronation Ceremo- ny. The Pep Club made available to the students Wheeler T-shirts so the students could show their pride in AHS. Officers of the Pep Club were: President—Karen Hupp. Vice- President—Gina Bruun, Secre- tary—Penny Christensen, Treasur- er—Nikki Wolf. and S.S. Representative—Julie Griffith.

The teams fielding was consis- tently good. Aggressive base run- ning was shown with Karla Nelson leading in stolen bases. Karen Hupp led in hitting. Betsy Nelson in runs batted in, and Terri Whitaker and Betsy led in batting averages. The pitching was strong being led by Jamie McLaughlin. Diane Vonesh served as manager. The whole team showed marked improvement as the season pro- gressed ending with an overall 12 wins and 8 losses. Thirteen out of twenty three girls lettered with five receiving hon- ors. Gina Bruun received the Irwin All-Tourney team honor. On the First All-Conference team were Jamie McLaughlin, a unanimous choice as pitcher, and Cindy Hupp, center fielder. On Second team All-Conference, Lisa Henry was chosen as catcher. Karen Hupp as first base and Terri Whitaker as designated hitter.

The 1980 season was the last year for Mr. Bandy as the Wheelers coach. The Wheeler Varsity Boys ended the season with an 8-13 record and placed fifth in the Midwest Con- ference. All-Conference players from Audu- bon were: Todd Williamson, 1st Team All-Conference, and George Parris, 2nd Team All-Conference. Coach Kiger made the comment that most of the games were very close and went down to the last innings of play. Senior Todd Williamson had an excellent year, as he had a batting average of .452. JV ended the season with a record of 8-8-1. The outlook for next season looks very promising, with all of the re- turning lettermen, including one of the better pitchers of the area, George Parris.

Set Itl Spike Itl To most of us, we don’t know what these words mean but to 34 girls, this means the game. These girls worked hard to achieve a win. The hardest thing to accomplish between the team members is communication. The volleyball season was very good this year. The varsity team had an overall good season. Out of 23 games, the team had a final record of 10 wins. II losses, and 2 ties. Last year, besides the rules and skills changing, the coach also changed. Miss Pam Baker previously coached in Decator, NE. She com- mented that the kids at AHS were easier to coach and it seemed as if they cared more. She also told about her first year in Audubon: It was a combination of early and late practices; dives and rolls; sayings like Overall We’re the best”; running one or two blocks; ham’n cheese sandwiches and the forbidden hot fudge sundaes at Quik-Trip. I was happy with the individual improvements made by each of the girls in the skills of volleyball and in the team’s im- provements. especially in defend- ing against spikes. Through the sadness after the Adair-Casey game marking the end of the '80 season. I kept in mind that the '81 season could only be just as good and probably better. 1 I.

The captains of the team were George Parris, Tim Jensen. Rusty Schneider, and Bob Steffes. Dur- ing the last season the leading pass receiver was Tim Jensen, the leading rusher was Joel Williamson, the leading tackier was Dave Stolz. Dave Buser and Corley Hansen were the most im- proved players. Coach Nelsen commented. This was a season in which about ev- erything that could happen to a football team did.

Up until the 1980 season, this team had never lost a game. At the start of the year, the play- ers voted on team captains. The captains were Clint Schmidt. Clint Hansen. Tim Whitaker, and Gary Jensen. Coach Wambold felt that their best-played game was against Sac City. He said, They put every- thing together, both defensively and offensively.” When asked about most valuable player. Coach Wambold commented, The whole team did a good job and did their best in all the games.” He also commented, If everyone sticks together in football, the freshman team can look forward to having good seasons in the future. 1.

Clint Hansen, and Chris Johnson work hard during practice. The Junior Varsity Football team did well this year considering they were forced not to play in some of the early games because so many players were out with in- juries. The injured players didn’t get in as much playing experience this year as they should have, but the guys who were able to play probably got in more time than they would have in another sea- son. There were no certain captains for the team. Coach K. picked someone new for each game. Coach K. also commented that there was no Best Player” or Most Improved Player because the whole team always did their best. Football 77 GIRLS CLINCH SEVENTH The Wheelerettes again captured the conference crown for the seventh straight year. They fin- ished the season at 18-4. They lost only to Dension in Conference play.

Mr. Adkins commented on their sectional championship game against Maple Valley. Our kids played hard and sometimes things just don't work out the way you'd like them to.” Karen Hupp led the team in scor- ing with an average of 30 points per game. Kathy Lansman led the team in rebounds and intercep- tions. We improved in our ball handling and our defensive rebounding tre- mendously, Adkins said. Four of the Wheelerettes were named to All-Conference teams. With a new rule into effect this year, this is the maximum number that can be given. Karen Hupp was a unanimous choice for 1st team forward. Guards Kathy Lansman and Jamie McLaughlin also captured 1st team honors. Selected for the 2nd team was forward Lisa Scott.

Even though the team won only five games, many of them showed sparkles of brilliant play and teamwork. One of the highlights of the season was defeating the Perry Blujays, coached by Larry Bandy, for- mer Audubon coach. Beat Bandy’s Birds” became the famous slogan. The Wheelers won the game in the final seconds. Coach Bill Henkenius felt having only four seniors was a draw back. Inexperience really hurt us,” commented Mr. Henkenius. The rest of the con- ference schools were mainly seniors.” The team finished its season with five wins and fourteen losses. Their conference record was one win and eleven losses.

The tennis teams combined for six dual var- sity victories. In the girls sectionals, all of the Audubon performers advanced to the second round. Brad Barnes highlighted the boys sectionals before being defeated in the quarter-finals in a 3-hour match. The tennis courts were resurfaced during the middle of the season which may add for the inclusion of home meets next year. Strong junior varsity perfor- mances continue to brighten ten- nis hopes for next year. I. The members of the girls tennis team are (back row) Cindy Merk. Sheila Barron. Carol Jorgensen.

The managers for 1980-81 Basketball season are Joni Hansen and Barb Petersen. (Not pictured are Leanne Tessman and Karla Nielsen. Gina Bruun). Manager for tennis was Gina Bruun. 3. The football managers were Shelly Fancher. (Not pictured is Denise Hjuler). 96 Managers UNRECOGNIZED Who's responsible for taking stat- istics? Who's in charge of taking care of the team’s equipment? Who saves the coaches many steps? You guessed it—the man- agers! The managers do much hard work that often goes unrecognized. The reason you may see more than one manager at a sporting event may be because the duties are easier when shared by two. The next time you see a manager at a game or meet, remember, there's more to managing than taking stats. 1. Managers for Volleyball are Jackie Linn and Angie Petersen. 2. Managers taking timings for boys’ track team are Kristin Petersen and Diane Weber. Managers 97 Cheer Cheer for Audubon High Dedication and hard work are two words which characterize the cheerleaders of Audubon High School. Of course, the most visible responsibility of cheerleaders is when they step out on the athletic floor field to lead cheers for their favorite Wheeler or Wheelerette teams. Other duties that the cheerleaders perform are planning pep rallies, making posters and lock- er decorations, and planning the Homecoming activities that are fo- cused towards the athletic games. Cheerleading is not all hard work! however, many close friendships, fun. excitement, and many acquaint- ances are formed from meeting stu- dents from other schools. 1. Varsity Basketball Cheerleaders are. Top to Bottom. Jodi Jorgensen. Nikki Wolf. Kaye Hansen. Becky Thobe. Joni Madsen, and Kelley fleming. 2. Varsity Wrestling Cheerleaders are, Top to Bottom.

Some are big and some are small. After a while they fill the hall For all to gaze in awe and wonder. For they are the shrines Of long past times. For sports and music and drama. They are all for look But think what it took. All the work and sweat and tears. —Cindy Merk 100 Organizations I.

During the fair they had dis- plays from different countries. Also, during the fair they had a Celebrity Auction in which they sold articles from famous people, such as Phyllis Diller. Burt Reyn- olds. and Ronald Reagan. As the tradition goes, each year the A.F.S. Club sponsors a Pan- cake Supper. The money that was earned went to the club to help sponsor other A.F.S. trips.

This is one of the highest honors an A.H.S. stu- dent can receive. Students are carefully selected. The students must maintain a B average and are recognized for their leadership, character, and service. They are chosen by the faculty with Mr. Hoffman as advisor, and the sponsor is Mrs. Monahan. Each year the previous National Honor Society members tapped in the new members in the spring on Honors Night, and in the fall they have an assembly for National Honor Society. lisa Scott. President of NHS. presides at a regular meeting as Mrs. Monahan offers ideas and encouragement. 104 National Honor Society SOCIETY INDUCTS One of the highlights of becoming a member of the National Honor Soci- ety is the ceremony in which new members are announced.

Cindy Hupp and John Englin were the recipi- ents of this award for the 1979-80 school year. The athletes are cho- sen on the basis of their partici- pation and achievements during their high school year. The win- ners were not announced until the beginning of the school year so the selection would include all of the sports throughout their four years of school. 1.

One of the highlights of the year was attending the play Our Town’’ at Ames. The club held four parties throughout the year: a Halloween party, a Christmas party, a Valen- tines party, and a spring picnic at Littlefield park. There were some who dared the freezing water to get their first swim of the year,” said Lori Lauritsen. The club also was in charge of the concession stand for the Wheeler Relays. Drama Club sponsor Carol Hansen said, We had about 130 patrons, an excellent turnout.” This year there were six students who obtained four-year letters. They were Brad Barnes, Diane Christensen, Jane Dickey, Teresa Hansen. Jeff Oakely, and Nadine Sorensen. Being a four-year letter winner is a big honor and shows a tremendous amount of work. The officers of the Drama Club are President: Lesta Dent, Vice- President: Jeff Oakley, Secretary: Orene Weston, and Historian: Lisa Sorenson. While the Drama Club plans all of the projects throughout the year, the Thespian troupe is an honor- ary group of members. There were four new members initiated into the International Thespian Troupe 2319. They were Kris Stone, Jay Mendenhall, Dickson Jensen, and Carolyn Noelck.

Choral Read- ing, Reader’s Theatre, Group Mime, and Duet Acting. Out of these 5 groups 4 received I’s and only one II. Mrs. Hansen com- mented Both Duet Acting and One-Act Play were difficult be- cause the meanings were hard to understand. The Bald Soprano, the one-act play, was also of the the- atre of the absurd.” In theatre of the absurd, it is very hard to get your point across. Mr. Casey said, We had a super day at district contest. The groups performed at their best. Choral Reading proved to be a fun category, and Reader’s The- atre challenged our interpretation abilities. We also added four new members to our mime troupe. It's a good year when 30 students qualify for state contest. Drama III FFA I IM I AIUSC Throughout the school year, the FFA boys were kept busy raising money in various ways. From their fruit sale they earned $14, 000. This money was used to send members to a leadership confer- ence and to buy awards for the parent-member banquet in the spring. Money was also raised by selling bolts to area farmers. From this project, they raised $5,300. During the National FFA Week, February 23-27, the chapter held a redemption center where they gave farmers 4c for every empty bread sack they brought in. The FFA parent-member banquet was held March 16. Doug Goecke was presented with the Star Farmer Award. The Star Agri-Busi- nessman Award went to Rusty Schneider and Brian Flandlos was the Decalb Agriculture Achieve- ment winner. Paul Merk was given special rec- ognition for his efforts in the chapter. Marvin Christensen was thanked and honored by the FFA boys for the use of his land in the test plot. The local Co-op sponsored Doug Goecke and Brian Flandlos for a Co-op leadership camp at Kansas City at the William Penn Campus. Aside from working hard with money-making projects and learn- ing about farming, the chapter did well in athletic events. In the softball tournament between other chapters. Audubon placed 3rd at districts at Flarlan. At the volleyball tournament February 8 in Anita, they placed 3rd out of 8 teams. IQ Future Farmers of America EECSPEES I.

Hi Y 117 What is a Y-Teen? Y-Teens is a group of 81 girls that try their hardest to develop a good group. There are many activities these girls do. On Valentine’s Day they sold flowers to raise money. The flowers were either blue, green, pink, or red. Once a month the girls make ta- ble decorations for the Friendship Home. The residents enjoy the girls visits. The experience is shared by both, resident and Y- Teen. Every year the girls prepare for the Harvest Ball. They decide on the theme, band, and decorations. The girls worked everyday for a week before the dance and even some nights. There are two activity directors. Angie Buser and Orene Weston. These girls decide when, where, and what to use for Bingo prizes. Once a month, the girls play Bingo at the Friendship Home. A new thing they did this year was an intiation for new members in the group. They went to each of the new member's homes and got them out of bed at 5:30 a.m. But it ended well when they went to Mrs. Pepper's house for donuts and hot chocolate. Y-Teens would never make it through the year without Mrs. Peppers, their sponsor, and the hard work of all the girls. L -r 118 V-Teens There fire 81 In '81 I. Y-Teens officers. Top Left Krista Lewis.

They express the needs, complaints, and wishes of the students to the administra- tors. The members meet each month to discuss any problems that are brought up in homeroom meet- ings. They usually meet on the first Friday of each month, but they have tried meeting at 7:00 a.m. for a breakfast-meeting. The Student Senate is designing a victory flag that will be flown after any events in which our school did well. They also started wishing students happy birthday over the announcements. They attended two workshops, the Central Iowa Workshop and the District XI Workshop. At the district workshop. Clint Hansen was elected District XI Vice-Presi- dent. I.

They won- der what it would be like to run a country. Some students at AHS could explain what it is like. These students. Model UN mem- bers, have been doing it all year. This year, the Audubon Model UN club represented Poland at their meetings. At the end of the 1979- 80 school year, the members wrote a paper and sent a list of countries that they would like to represent. They were assigned Poland. In October, the members went to the Governor’s Model UN Day. They attended regional workshops and decided the problems that were to be discussed in the spring. In the spring, they went to the State Model UN Convention in Cedar Falls. At the convention, each school represented one of the countries of the world. These schools (countries) then tried to solve some of the problems that plague our present society. Model UN members did ejection surveys and worked concessions to raise money for these trips. I. Model UN members are (from left to right) Lisa Scott. Carol Christensen. Lisa Nelson. David Buser. Dan Schuldt. Jim Lauridsen. Lynnette Barnes. Jeff Bourne, and Clint Hansen. Members attended the State Model UN Convention in Cedar Falls. They attended meetings with students from many other schools. Model UN 121 Artists Attain Last May fifteen art students. Mrs. Burns, and Miss Takach went on a 3-day field trip to Chicago. After a four-hour wait for the train, they traveled by Amtrac to Chicago and toured the Chicago Art Institute. Shedd Aquarium. Museum of Science and Industry. Chinatown, the Sears Tower, and Chicago after dark. The trip was an educational and entertaining reward for the hard-working members of the Art Club. It was a productive year for Au- dubon art students as they had ten entries accepted in the Scho- lastic Art Contest including Clint Hansen's Gold Key Award winner. The art students totally dominat- ed the Southwest Iowa Art Show, winning all the prizes in painting and drawing, awards in photogra- phy and ceramics, and Best of Show award to Clint Hansen. The Art Club held a huge Art Show that coincided with the Spring Festival of Choruses. A large crowd admired a wide vari- ety of projects completed by the art students. They capped off the year by having an outing to Peo- ny Park in Omaha. Screening can be a messy affair as testified by Mrs. Burns in removing paint from Clint Hansen. Hand-screening Christmas cards was the big money-making project for the Art Club. Pictured are Karen Hupp. Deb Albertsen. Cindy Merk. Diana Nissen. Teresa Hansen. Anthony Lopez.

STUDENTS M.O. (Multi-Occupations) is de- signed to give a student the chance to explore occupations during his senior year. The main purpose of M.O. is to previde training, although the students do receive wages. It is important that students learn proper work habits as well as gain experience and learn skills with an occupa- tion. This year there are eighteen M.O. students.

Oklahoma” was performed by the Drama Department and the Chorus. Mr. Keller and Mr. Casey were the directors. Several of the cast members re- plied that Oklahoma” was a great experience and one of the best plays that was performed. The cast was very enthusiastic, and everyone did their best at the rehearsals. The cast also gives much of the credit for Oklaho- ma’s success to the backstage crews, they did a tremendous job. Although this is the last year for many of the Oklahoma” perform- ers, the newcomers will bring much success to the AHS Drama Department. Musical 139 Students replace teachers, wouldn’t this be a different scene? That was the setting for this year’s spring play No More Homework . There was a lot of confusion trying to memorize lines, to finish sets and scenes, and to find costumes. The re- hearsals were set up to work around the busy spring schedules of cast members. Rehearsals couldn't begin until speech con- test was over, leaving only four weeks until performance rather than the usual eight weeks. Even though there was a short time to finish, the play was a huge suc- cess.

As we look back through the pages, we recall all of the memorable times that the year has brought to us. May this book bring to you a lasting plea- sure of those high school days, a time when all of our lives were entwined at A.H.S., a moment in our age of sharing our lives. 1. Spring brings to us warm days for the outdoor sports. Limbering up for a track meet are Craig Stearns. Terry Jensen. Clint Hansen. Andy Smalley. John Henriksen. and Kyle Karstens. 2. The catwalks are filled with students making their summer plans as the school year comes to a close. 3. Class night brought honors for jobs well done. 4. The last bell has rung, lockers are cleaned, students are gone, the year is over. 190 Closing io much to tooh hach on... 10 much to [oofz forward to... iharincj our tiuzi...
