Here's what we do remember. Leaving at 5:00 a.m. Friday, May 9 caused a few problems, but they were ingeniously overcome. Seems like you always forget something but with numerous last minute trips to the cars, Larry remembered his chips; Bernd, his shampoo; and Amy and Angie their tasteful but uncomfortable belts. The first stop was breakfast, but no one seemed too hungry. In K.C. the trip began at a bowling video arcade where Rambo warriors cleaned out our quarters. The mall, the next stop, gave us a chance to catch our breath and pick up a few souvenirs. Finally we got to our hotel to relax before dinner with a brisk swim in the ice pond (pool) and a chance to warm ourselves in our rooms. Dinner was at a steak house buffet. Friday night is where the amnesia part comes in. Actually all went smoothly once we all found our rooms! Saturday came all too quickly but we welcomed the chance at Worlds of Fun's rides, Mr. Cerny set the record with five trips on the Orient Express although the highlight thrills may have been in the late afternoon Fury of the Nile line, right Skiv and Steve? After deciding on an extra hour in the park we loaded the bus for home around seven. Stopping to pig-out seriously at a buffet, we arrived home to paint dry streets around 1 a.m. No one was hurt, no one arrested and no one got kicked out of the hotel. 10 EXECUTIVE SUITE 109 ?!? GRADUA TION This year's commencement was Friday, May 16 in the Rosalie gym. A near record crowd packed into the sultry building to see the 28 grads sing their swan song. Marching in to the band's accompaniment, they seated themselves on the stage to hear salutatorian speeches by G. Mohl and D. Munderloh, as well as J. Tietz's valedictorian speech. We were all entertained by the speaking of Mr. Richard Crawford, a blind stock broker out of Sioux City and personal friend of R. Meyer. After hearing how we should try to stack life's deck in our favor , Mrs. Nottleman, school board president, and Ken Brown, superintendent, dealt out the diplomas. The seniors sang I'll Remember You to exchange student Y. Koyama's accompaniment and filed out to their reception line where tears and smiles were exchanged. We'll miss them all. 12 13 9S5- 966 TICKET TWO Admit 1 £ 8. A B-EL MAY Presentation 22 General Admission 1986 Pni £ Includes A 2.5 Use ns Tri Bancroft - Rosalie High School 15 What are Juniors? They are the class that spends most of the year trying to please the Seniors, but never do quite well enough. One of their main purposes is putting on a Prom worth remembering. The Juniors are the class who envy the Seniors the most. They see the Seniors get their senior pictures, memory books, keys, and caps and gowns. They are also the closest, but they are so far from actually graduating. The Juniors start getting ready for college and scholarships by taking ACT tests. After struggling through the test, and receiving the results, they usually resolve to take it over again next year. The Juniors take classes like American History, where they do their first term paper. After term papers, they usaually decide they don't like it. A lot of the Juniors take P.E. That's one class that adds some excitement into the Junior Year, ha ha. The best thing about being a Junior is that the following year they get to finally be a Senior. Sometimes Seniors wonder what's so great about that. 1st Row: B Tietz, K. Bonneau, K. Edwards, M. Krieg, T. Larsen, B. Tietz, J. Sachs, G. Greenfield; 2nd Row: C. Nottle-mann, J. VanKirk, F. Kai, S.

Being a sophomore and the smallest class in our high school, you keep looking forward to next year being 16 and a Junior. It would seem the sophomores used their freshman year wisely as they may be some of the most valuable 10th graders in awhile. We couldn't find much interesting copy about the sophomores as a class but a few individual efforts have acheived new standards of excellence for B-R students to use as personal goals both academically and athletically. 18 J.

The class of '89 made true that statement when they demonstrated their naivete in making a big step down from top-of-the ladder in Junior High to the bottom rung once again as they began life in High School. In switching they adapt to scheduling and changing classes, meeting new challenges, and supposedly respecting upperclassmen. The Freshmen had their first experiences with working as a group when they chose a car wash and the volleyball food stand (in which they made $300) as class projects. Being a Freshman is a definite challenge. A challenge that one must meet again and again in life. It seems like there's always an upperclassman no matter what grade you're in. Even though being a leader and an individual is important, you can always learn from those ahead of you. R. Mohl-Treas., J. Doht-V.Pres., S. Smith-Sec., C. Siebrandt-Pres., T.

To a lot of people Homecoming is just a boring high school tradition, but there are a lot of things that you can't help but smile about when you remember it. When else could you see A. Abendroth dressed like a leopard skinned sleeze, Mr. Naden wearing Mickey Mouse ears or most of all L. Johnson the biggest nerd in B-R High. This year the Panthers made Homecoming week something to remember. The week started kind of slow but after the girls' volleyball victory over Homer on Tuesday, the school spirit came alive. The annual Pep rally down town took place on Wednesday highlighted by the destroying of an old car and 3 captains shaving a cream covered balloon over their coaches' heads. Everyone got a good laugh out of seeing Mr. Cerny covered with shaving cream. The bonfire was cancelled and for the third year in a row a record dance was held at the gym. On Thurs- day the girls played Walthill and added another victory to the week, hoping to inspire the boys for a kill on Friday. When Friday came the boys seemed a little worried about losing the homecoming game against Wakefield, but when game time approached all was forgotten and the boys 45 pointed Wakefield in the third quarter with the final score being 52-6. The royalty crowning took place during halftime with the announcing of freshmen attendents; R. Mohl and A. Gatzemeyer, Sophomores; B. Gatzemeyer and J. Ahlers, Juniors; M. Kreig and S. Doht, Seniors; A. Abendroth, S. Grone, A. Freiberg, L. Johnson and King; Kevin Bruning, Queen; S. Os-trand. The theme for the night was Don't Look Back and everyone had a good time at the dance with the music provided by Mr. Tunes. 26 27 PROM Prom King — L. Johnson and Prom Queen — A. Freiburg. In a year marked by controversies and triumphs, Prom proved to be no different. Set in a medieval world of kings and castles, banquet tables were regally set for the roast beef and ham dinner complete with ice cream and wine sauce. Name cards announced the seating arrangement however last minute cancellations left a couple of seats open, one of them belonging to a real king. Dinner highlights included airborne buns and dropped napkins. The prophecy read by S. Doht and will read by S. Grone received bigger reactions than had been expected, even brought some to their feet. The skit, well, the skit. The music for the dance was provided by Stanton Sound. Once everyone and some mothers arrived the dancing began. The theme song by Sting was played and set the tone for the evening. Post prom party winners were G. Mohl — TV; B. Tietz — video recorder; T. Larsen — portable radio; and R. Karash and S. Hieneman won telephones. 28 29 BANQUETS Football stole the spotlight at this year's Athletic Banquet amid a fitting royal setting. The team awards were capped with emotional presentations to Tim Slaughter for volunteer help and then Tim and Mr. Carter presented Coach Cerny with the championship trophy to a standing ovation. L. Johnson received top back hhonors as well as the Metzger Award and top male athlete award. Steve Grone was named MV lineman and K. Bonneau was named MIP. State qualifiers D. Hermelbracht and M. Slaughter received MVP's in volleyball, while S. Ostrand was MIP. J. Slaughter and D. Munderloh were MVP's in Basketball whose MIP's were S. Doht and B. Tietz. D. Hermelbracht was named top female athlete. The academic banquet's highlight was the naming of the honor society's inductees. Along with last years G. Mohl, R. Meyer, D. Munderloh, and A. Frie-berg, were newcomers L. Johnson, M. Krieg, S. Doht, and K. Bonneau. A honor roll accomplishments went to juniors S. Doht and K. Bonneau, and sophomores J. Slaughter, L. Suhr, and B. Gatzemeyer. 1986-87 cheerleaders named were head cheerleader K. Bartling, sophomore A. Gatzemeyer and freshmen J. Nelson, J. Meyer, T. Bargmann, K. Nelson, L. Sachs, and T. Heaton. Top music awards were also given. The John Phillip Sousa award to A. Abendroth and top vocal award to S.

Meyer, M, Morgan, S. Reil, K. Bartling, S. Dietrich, S. White. This year's cheerleaders were: K. Meyer, Head cheerleader, sophomore; S. Dietrich and S. White, seniors; S. Reil, junior; K. Bartling, sophomore; and M. Morgan, freshmen. Have you ever cheered during a tornado warning in a basement under college dorms? Well this small squad of 6 did it at ICF (International Cheerleading Foundation) at Lincoln. While they were there, a tornado warning bell sounded sending the girls down 8 flights of stairs to a basement about the size of Bancroft's gym where they cheered for a couple of hours with about 200 girls. And you may think cheering is easy, well you should try it with a dislocated shoulder. K. Meyer did but was sidelined for some of the time at camp, in the 100 degree heat while the rest of the group learned cheers and chants. Being surprised is nothing compared to what these cheerleaders experienced when the final competition of cheering came up. Well they never expected to be called as one of the finalists in the competition but came out and did their cheers. The girls also made posters and put on several pep rallies. One highlight was pouring 'a cake' over Mr. Cerny's soon to be shaved head. Now there's something to cheer about. 34 STUDENT COUNCIL Well, this year's student council really outdid itself. Always living on the edge, they stuck their necks out once again to make life more tolerable at B-R High. Instead of drinking bath water between classes, you can now enjoy soda fountain fresh energy efficient cooled water. Yes, our upstairs now has its very own Halsey Taylor. Don't consider this complaining, but, whey is it that nine elected officials can manage only one project per year, projects that even the freshmen could do. And what happens to all the money from that pop machine? No wonder the seniors had such a good time on sneak trip. What is it they do at those meetings?, drink free pop and listen to bad jokes? Actually we're not mad, we're just displaying a natural curiosity about some apparent idle be-havior. And we're wasting space on this page with copy because they don't do anything we can take a picture of. So let this be a lesson to you future councilers, don't pick your nose, pick a worthwile project. Maybe it all comes down to an old joke that you just don't want to belong to any organization that would have a person like you as a member? 35 Clockwise Pres. — S. Grone, M Akins, S Dohf, T Flock, C. Albus, J Doht, L Joohnson, B Gotzemeyer, J Ahlers B-R CLUB This year's sports program was by far B-R's finest. Highlights included: sending seven to the state track meet, more than have ever gone in any one year; having the volleyball team earn their first state berth; and following the football team to their state champion glory. Athletic director Jon Cerny had these comments. Years of hard work by the players and coaches at B-R are beginning to show up in the form of various awards. The goals of the athletic program are being realized. These include both individual and team recognition, college scholarships, and pride and self-confidence exhibited by the students. The future for sports at our school is potentially limitless. The athletes and coaches will be in the limelight, and they must accept the responsibility that goes with it. Thanks to all of the former athletes who contributed to the development of a successful program. 36 ONE ACTS AND SPEECH K. Bartling, R. Karosh, M. Krieg, C. Waite, M. Karash, A. Gatzemeyer, S. Erickson. Not pictured J. Beineke, S. Smith, S. Nelson, R. Bonneau, V. Koyama, J. Dye. The cast of this year's one act play included J. Beineke-Cave Cat, R. Karash-Mama Lion, M. Krieg-Papa Lion, C. Waite-Lion chick, K. Bar-tling-Leopard chick, S. Smith-Lion Priest, M. Kar-ash-Altar chick, and as tigers: A. Gatzemeyer-Zula, S. Nelson-Zelma, and S. Erickson as Ziggy. The Cave Cat is an allegorical story of a young cave cat who refuses to give in to pressures from family and friends to pretend to be anything he is not, such as: a lion, tiger, or a leopard; when he knows he and they are all basi- cally just cats. The lesson behind the play is: To your ownself be true. At both districts in Lyons and conference at Beemer the play received excellents. This year's speech team consisted of J. Beineke, R. Karash, R. Bonneau, C. Waite, M. Karash, Y. Koyama, K. Bartling, J. Dye, and S. Nelson. They received five excellents at Conference and five excellents and one superior at Districts. 37 ALL SCHOOL PL A Y A small crowd was rewarded with lots of laughs Tuesday, April 29th in the Bancroft gym. Less than perfect rehearsals resulted in just enough nervousness for an almost flawless show. Shrunken Heads was this year's allschool play, once again directed by Sam Trum-pold. T. Flock had the lead role of a psychiatrist trying to escape his job's pressures with a relaxing weekend in the rough. He is harassed however by his wife, D. Munderloh, and some patients and other family, played by S. Bonsall, K. Bartling, C. Waite, T. Heaton and C. Albus. Highlights included T. Heaton shooting T. Flock as well as one punching him to the floor. C. Albus, K. Bartling, and C. Waite drew big laughs at their eccentric characters. R. Meyer helped with lights and special effects; G. Mohl and A. Gatzemeyer prompted. 38 39 9S5- 9S6 TICKET FIVE Admit l - US -2 A B-R, MAR Presentation 20 Central Admission 1986 T ?

You could usually see them dunking, shooting water pistols, having blackboard hanging contests, jumping thru windows, sitting in detention or if it happened to be a couple of days before some concert or occasion they could even be heard screaming, I mean singing, right boys? When they did sing however, it was good. They earned six solo I ratings at contests, three ll's and two Ill's. Other engagements they entertained were Veteran's Day, Christmas concert and Copa. S. Bonsall, S. Erickson, C. Waite, D. Nelson and A. Abendroth were highlighted at Christmas as the players in the whimsical musical based on A Christmas Carol . Making a go of things this year was newcomer Kris Fahrenbruch. She filled a big position left by Mr. Stewart, and as she is leaving for a job in Winnebago and she will be missed. Good-luck to next year. V 42 43 CHOIR AND SWING CHOIR This year's band weathered the storm of losing key senior members and last year's instructor. Aptly helmed by newcomer Gene Springer, however, they marched to some fine finishes and a great overall sound. They finished first in both the Old Settler's Parade and the Emerson Homecoming Parade. They placed second, overall, in the Wayne Band Day Contest and received a II rating in the Pershing Marching Contest in Lincoln. Individually, L. Suhr received a first chair medal at the conference band clinic as well as superiors in both snaredrum and marimba at the District Music Contest. C. Waite received a superior also, for the flute at Districts. And they didn't raise a dime all year! 44 45 I9S5- 9S6 TICKET SIX Admit 1 $ !8.

I knew we couldn't lose another game or we couldn't make it. said Coach Cerny. But after the Newcastle game things started to happen for the Panthers. After easy games with Wynot, Walthill and Wakefield the Panthers won a last second thriller with Snyder were they proved they could play bad and still win. With another easy win over Allen, the Panthers met fourth ranked Beemer at the Bobcats home field. It wasn't the close game many expected as the Panthers coasted over their rivals 62-36. The Panthers then rolled past Winside and moved on to their final regular season game with Coleridge. The Bulldogs were ranked No. 1 in D-2 and thought to be the best 8-man team in the state. The Bulldogs, however were not much of a challenge to the overpowering Panthers, who scored 4 times against Coleridge's supposed No. 1 defense, while the Bulldogs could only score on kick off and punt returns. From now on the Panthers would play, as Coach Cerny said, “Until we lose or until there's no one else to play. The first game of state was played at Bancroft against Winnebago. The Panther defense shut down Cornhusker recruit, Darwin Snyder, and the Panthers rolled to 44-30 victory. The next game was the long awaited Panther rematch at Newcastle. Although it was close throughout the game, the Panthers showed their poise when they scored 48 twice in the final minute to claim a 47-28 victory. At the semi-finals the Panthers proved that Northeast Nebraska was the football king of the state by blanking Odell 48-0 and became the first team to 45 point a team in the play offs. The day everyone was waiting for finally arrived. The B-R Panthers were to play Dunning-Sandhills, undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the state for most of the year, in the State Championship game. B-R led the whole game and won 56-20. They also set an all-time school record in total offense with 471 yards and became the State Champs. After the Championship Cerny remembered when the class of '86, were freshmen and remarked, I would have never imagined that those 5 guys would be the leaders of a state team. 49 Gatz for another long one.

The season's ratings rollercoaster began by capturing the Pender tournament championship trophy. This earned them the 5th spot in the state ratings at 3-0. With a 4-0 record they moved up to 3rd. Winning 5 and losing to Beemer gave them a 9-1 record, which dropped them to the number 6 spot. They rounded out the regular season by capturing the Hartington Tournament championship trophy, and losing only two more games to give them a record of 15-3, top seed in their subdistrict. The Lady Panthers earned their way to state by beating Walthill, Allen, and Wynot in the District finals. This pushed their record to 18-3. That tally was good enough for a second seed for their first State tourney berth. Losing to Callaway in three sets 15-8, 11-15 and 11-15 ended their season at 18-4, rated 10th in the state. Statistic leaders for the season were: A. Abendroth in points with 168 and 77 ace serves at 91 % ; M. Slaughter and D. Munderloh enjoyed 87% spiking, 246-283, 234-269, respectively with both of them having 83 aces; D. Hermelbracht with 144 ace spikes; and teammates S. Dietrich and S. Os-trand led in setting with 90% and 94% respectively The B team finished 8-1, developing several more than competent players to replace the seven graduate starters. M. Nolting, M. Akins, D. Richardson, J. Ahlers and K. Meyer all proved to be outstanding in their positions. The C team nurtured 3 freshman, provided experience for 4 sophomores and ended up 6-2. The often overlooked games once again were an important part of a successful volleyball program. 52 WE THEY PENDER TOURNEY 2 WPCC 0 2 Pender 0 2 Laurel-Concord 1 2 Ponca 0 2 Snyder 0 2 Homer 1 2 Walthill 0 0 Beemer 2 2 Allen 0 2 Newcastle 0 2 E-H 0 HARTINGTON INV.

Finishing with a best ever 4-3 conference record the Lady Panthers ended a could-have-been season with a double overtime loss to Walthill in the opening round of the district tournament. With an overall 7-9 mark, the girls look to rebuild next year since they are losing three starters to graduation who dominated this year's statistics; D. Hermelbracht, tops in scoring and shooting with 13 points at 43% and she tied with M. Slaughter at 10 rebounds per game; and D. Munderloh handed out 54 assists. By year's end four team records were broken as well as three individual ones. Highlights of the year included a victory over rival Beemer and a 56-28 doubling of Snyder on their home court . Despite losing some top performers, there will be a solid nucleus turning since D. Richardson, S. Doht, L. Suhr and D. Hermelbracht all gained a lot of experience with pressure playing-time this year. The girl's will also be under a new helm as Coach Paine is leaving with a two year record of 17-19. 54 GO TEAM GO!

Ending as district runner-up to eventual state runner-up Newcastle the Panthers enjoyed their best season yet at 11 -9. All but two of those losses were vs. rated schools and with only one senior on the squad the program seems to have found solid ground. Posting a disappointing I -3 pre-Christmas record on only 7 pre-season practice days the Panthers rebounded with 5 straight wins including their first Ponca Tourney championship. They took always tough Lyons-Decatur into overtime and tied WPCC with 2 minutes remaining but lost both. Still, they managed a 7-4 record over C-l schools and a 6-3 mark in games ending closer than 5 points, not something young teams usually accomplish. During the season 5 team and 11 individual records were broken or tied and first time wins were charted in both conference and district tourneys. Leading statistically were: J. Slaughter-21.5 points, 12 rebounds and 68% at free throws; B. Tietz-38 steals and 46% from the field; B. Gatzemeyer-60 assists. Beginning a winning tradition should carry enthusiasm into next year with possibly the area's tallest team returning. It's a good thing the sky's the limit at B-R. 56 WE THEY 56 Wakefield 42 47 Northeast 50 42 Walthill 67 42 Homer 66 52 Snyder 60 47 E-H PONCA TOURNEY 45 51 Laurel 31 39 Ponca 36 44 Allen 42 56 O-C 48 55 Pender 57 55 Ponca 53 37 WPCC CONFERENCE TOURNEY 46 43 Homer 39 44 Beemer 57 56 Beemer 52 60 Newcastle SUBDISTRICTS 62 62 Walthill 41 52 Allen DISTRICT FINALS 38 48 Newcastle 64 ALL CONFERENCE Jason Slaughter-1st Team Brent Tietz-Hon.Ment.

The boys had a banner year setting new records in thirteen events while the girls managed to top four bests. Leading the team in points and qualifying for state in two events, triple jump and high jump, J. Slaughter was named boy's MVP. His female counferpart was D.

It is hoped that they've been captured here in the book. The class of 13 found out all about fast moving time trying to write newspapers and make yearbook deadlines. The pages you now hold were not done easily because many of the class members were new at this publishing game. The many hours spent making the book were enjoyable as we did it the way we wanted to, with plenty of pop, gum and pizza for fuel. The theme, pictures and cover were all chosen with the student in mind. We hope this book helps you remember forever how we rock -n- rolled through the school year. Notes of commendation must be printed for editor G. Mohl and photographer R. Meyer's respective expertises. Gayle's computer training became a salvation and her devotion yielded long hours of work beyond the school day. Randy became B-R's first published student photographer having well over 30 pictures printed in area newspapers. Both will be sorely missed from the school yearbook program. Additional thanks go to C. Albus for the artistic contributions of the cover and division page tickets. We thought we'd make you feel important, ha ha. 70
