Gina Hansen seems to have something amusing to say to Angie Slothouber, Jodi Keast, and Lori Mace. 4. Greetings in the corri- dor from Brian Bruch and Dave Tessman. 5. Clint Hansen is deep in thought. 6. Gene Jorgensen, Stacey Deist, and Tom Coyle are attentive, but Amy Swain knows where the camera is. 7. Diana Nissen is a blur of speed in the sectional finals.

1983 IS THE YEAR The Wheeler. For more than forty years the Audubon High School yearbook has been referred to as The Wheeler. However, the yearbook has had several names. In the 1920’s the yearbook was known as The Analyst. The 1930’s seemed to be a period of change. The yearbook was named The Red and White, but it reverted back to The Analyst for a year before re- turning to The Red and White. One innovative class tabbed the book The White and Red. The name was then changed to The Wheeler which remains after 44 years. The name The Wheeler is quite unique. While other schools have adopted team nicknames of the Lions, Tigers, or Eagles, Audubon High has a one-of-a-kind nickname. A look back in history gives us the details of how the Wheeler was born. The name “Wheeler” was first associated with Audubon High in 1937. An Audubon coach (all sports) Dwight H. “Moose” Hoover wanted a nickname for Audubon players as a boost to morale and school spirit. A poll of the student body and actual vote by the football team christened the teams as the “Wheelers”. The idea was that the school was the hub of the wheel with the team, fans, faculty, etc. as the spokes. Other students of that era remember each of the spokes depicting an appropriate athletic vir- tue. However the origin, the “Wheeler” has remained a distinctive symbol of pride. Wheeler performers have distinguished themselves with determination, sportsmanship, and gritty effort. It is with the same sense of pride that we present this year’s edition of The Wheeler to remind students of the proud heri- tage of being able to say, “We are the Wheelers.” 4 Theme
