A primary feature of the newly adopted scheduling system is the freedom given to the individual to pursue his own interests. These interests could be in the areas of art,physics, chemistry, English, or the languages. The role of the teacher has been changed from a tyrant who pounds in facts to a resource person who can be consulted if the individual deems it profitable. This allows the student to progress at his own rate. The mod system lends itself to a variety of activities as students are able to view a film in the audio-visual room, aid a fellow classmate during free mods, or make use of any of the specialized resource centers. Along with the new scheduling comes a new art of discipline which includes keeping your eyes off the girls and on the clock. Those who cannot resist the temptation and saunter tardily intoclass are soundly reminded to stay on schedule with an automatic forty minute jug. It’s A Mod World This well rounded educational system not only enriches the mind but also fulfills the so- cial necessities of the student. The modular system allows time for the crowd to gather for relaxation at a pep rally, a dance, or just a bit of clean fun. Whether presenting a skit, painting a trialer, or putting up a Halloween Christmas tree. Students enjoy working togeth- er to achieve a common goal. Group activities within structured classes are also emphasized. In courses that lend At Neumann High themselves to discussion, pupil-propelled con- ference and debate constitute a refreshing change from the old question-and-answer ap- proach. This interaction of the individual within a group as a means of learning has proven to be a profitable aspect of the modular system in the time when the world demands that every educational system develop intellectual acu- mem, personal initiative, and social matur- ation. .A. � � CURRICULUM Neumann’s Capable Administration Modus operandi was Superintendent Father John Zastrow's motto as he strove to make Neumann High School an educational in- stitution ever dedicated to discovering the in- dividual's specific needs. 1970 proved to bean exciting and thrilling year for all concerned as modular scheduling was introduced into the school system. Under this type of scheduling, the task of fitting 290 students into desired classes at suitable times was tackled by Prin- cipal Father Philip Rauth. The students, however, could not just be taught; they needed also to be counseled, trans- ported, and disciplined to better prepare them for their future lives. Two men, qualified though they were, could not accomplish this fantastic task alone, so the administration de- partment was aided by the dedicated work of Father Rawley Myers, Father Richard Brom- bach, and Mrs. Wilma Wolfe, secretary. Neumann's superintendent, Fr. John Zastrow, takes time out for a cup of coffee. The new modular schedule pro- vided teachers with a chance to relax. Senior girls given the task of collecting and assembling the absentee lists are Patti Humlicek, Karen Cerv, Theresa Brecha, Nancy Jambor, and Connie Bauer. Neumann's official secretary, Mrs. Wilma Wolfe, faithfully manages the abundant amount of clerical work. Her devotion lightened the load of the other administrators. 10 Initiates New Modular Scheduling Father Philip Rauth, principal, proudly displays the new pleted through long, hard man-hours during the summer master schedule. Schedules such as these are usually as- months. Conflicts were common as each student's sched- sembled with the aid of a computer, but this one was com- ule had to be handled individually. Marvin Rerucha finds Father Myers'of lice helpful in choosing a col- lege or career. As guidance counselor, Father's aid proved indis- pensable to the graduating seniors. Versatility marks the character of Father Richard Brombach who teaches junior religion and has charge of all student transportation. 11 Unique Religion Department Enlightens As the era of change within the Church finally reached its climax, the internal con- troversy within the classroom subsided. The student discussions once again were pointed towards the basic principles of the Catholic faith and the student's role in the Christian world. Four dynamic personalities assumed the important role of instructing the students in their faith and making it a part of their lives. The seniors were presented the conservative side of the Church by Fr. Kalin while Sr. Stephanie allowed her freshmen to look for God in small, bright, black, and wet things. Fr. Brombach and Fr. Sladky rounded out the staff by the presentation of God to their junior and sophomore class with much small group dis- cussion. For many of the seniors, 1969-70 was their last contact with formal Catholic education, and the religion department strove to prepare them for their first step into the modern world. Janet Hansen relaxes to take a quick breather. Meanwhile Roseann Virgil and Collette Masek continue writing fever- ishly to keep up with Father Kalin's fast-paced dictations. Under the capable direction of Father Richard Sladky, the sophomore and junior classes developed through their mutual exchange of new ideas. 12 Dave Lanik and Jeff Bratrosovsky se- clude themselves from the chaos of school life for a few moments in the Students These lectures taught students the Sister Stephanie takes a minute out of her busy schedule fundamentals of taking notes effec- to work with Collette Masek, Diane Ohnoutka and Mary tively. Behrns on some new Mass songs. religion resource center. Students made use of the books to broaden their spiritual background. Caught in one of his usual moods, Father Kalin smiles in the midst of a lecture. This controversial figure gave the senior religion class proofs and hard facts to supplement their last year of formal religious training. With his handout by his side, Mr. Jim Humlicek, the newest addition to the history department, prepares for his junior and senior history classes. The usual tempo of classroom existence was lightened by the wit of history and business math teacher, Mr. Wayne Reeves. Mr. Reeves also acts as assistant coach. Historians Ponder The Problems Sophomores Carrie Curtis and Dan Jirovsky laughingly poke their heads out from an AMERICAN OBSERVER. Since this weekly magazine was chuck-full of all the latest oc- currences, history students found it easy to keep astride with current events. 14 The annual County Government Day was a big affair for Larry Cihal, Howie Krumel, Diane Bordovsky, Donna Bordovsky, Mike Shanahan, Carol Shanahan, Jenay Breunig, Pondering the problems of contemporary man and analyzing past civilizations made the social studies courses the most talked about classes in school. The out-dated one text ap- proach was replaced by one which presented the ideas of many authors on a variety of topics. The wealth of information accumulated by the students sparked lively rounds of class discussion. A startling change came to the depart- ment with Mr. James Humlicek. He brought to his junior history classes and senior government classes new concepts and fresh interpretations of world events. While marveling at the enlightenment of man during the Renaissance, world history students also marveled at Mr. Wayne Reeves' successful endeavors to enlighten their under- standing of the past. Jane Bibow, Cathie Sloup, Deanne Plunkett, Myron Benes, Mike Kralik, Doug Konecky, and Reed Kruce. This gave them a chance to see our government work. Mr. Humlicek presents his senior social studies class with the most recent issue of THE NEW REPUBLIC, their first encounter with a radical magazine. Contemporary Man 15 Business Courses Captivate Students As a change of pace, Mr. Gerald Likes plays a dictation record for his senior shorthand class. He also teaches the skill of typing to the upperclassmen. The mod system enabled each student to take a larger number of the practical courses offered by the business department. The courses, ranging from shorthand and typing to business math and bookkeeping, helped students to broaden their business skills, thus better equipping them to step out into the business world. Naturally, the goals of this department could only be reached through the determina- tion and persistence of its instructors. Three such devoted teachers are Mr. Gerald Likes and Sister Dolorosa with occasional help from Mr. Reeves. Mr. Likes in his usual manner dominated his feminine shorthand class while Sr. Dolorosa managed to impress the princi- ples of accounting on her junior and senior students. 16 Sr, Dolorosa, a newcomer to the faculty, explains the prin- ciples of business to her bookkeeping class. As junior class sponsor, she also has charge of the prom. Diane Slaughter looks confident while Jim Matulka laughs in utter amazement as Mr. Wayne Reeves ex- plains the use of the complicated 1040 supplementary tax form. The business math class spent a portion of the second semester studying tax forms, learning how to fill them out. 17 The second semester typing class discovered the practical application to their hours of learning the keyboard as they found themselves typing manuscripts and booklets. Typing was an extremely popular subject this year. Consequently, many students were compelled to come in on free time to complete the assignments. Scientists Accept Startling Innovations Neumann students found science exciting and challenging this year as several new teaching techniques were utilized. Students in chemistry and physics were taught the use of outside reference sources and individual pack- ets while the physical science students found themselves learning a variety of basic science courses. This program, developed by Sr. Sally Ann and Mike Eger, approached the under- standing of scientific concepts through exper- imentation. Biological interest was aroused by dissec- tion and outside field studies. Many of the sci- ence students also made trips to Midlands Science Fair and Engineering Week at Nebraska University. Sister Sally Ann beams as she arranges things in her long awaited cupboards. Along with the science depart- ment, she also sponsors the senior class. Physical science and biology teacher.

Malmo, Weston, Valparaiso 19 Searching Minds Penetrate Teachers are almost always available for extra help when students need it. Sister Celeste is no exception as she willingly takes time out from her duties as math teacher to help Kurt Woita with his problems. A typical example of a new technique in modular scheduling strated here in one of the freshman Math I classes con- is the informal discussion groups. Classes were conducted ducted by Mrs. Snoberger. These methods helped bridge in circles, semi-circles, and even on the floor as demon- the student-teacher gap. The Maze Of Mathematics Advancement through teamwork and indi- vidual study were the aims of Neumann's math department during '69-70. Spearheading the drive for mathematical excellence were Sr. Celeste and Mrs. Curt Snoberger. By using three-dimensional models and exploring trigonometry, instructors directed students toward a broader understanding of math. Elementary concepts were not forgotten as proving theorems and constructing hexagons still occupied the students limited time. Learning activities were typified by the math projects made in the advance math class. The variety of projects was matched only by the variety of inquisitive students who created these masterpieces. Triumph for Neumann mathematicians came when Neumann hosted the annual Math Field Day. The Neumann team took pride in placing second, and the whole school found fulfillment in a contest well run. With more class planning now necessary, the duplicating machine was never abandoned. Mrs. Curt Snoberger pre- pares material for one of her classes. Second place winners of the annual Math Field Day, co-hosted by Neumann and Wahoo Public, are Gary Maly, Randy Masek, Joann Snitily, Mike Hanson, and Patsy Fiedler. 21 English Classes Bolstered For her sophomore English Class, Marilyn Swartz gives a demonstration speech on her unique talent for makingbut- terflies out of foam. Shakespeare's It's a mad, mad, world described to perfection the Neumann High Eng- lish department as it strove to stimulate stu- dent involvement. Students participated in a wide variety of activities including discussing literary works in small groups, acting our Shakespearean drama in the classroom, and viewing film strips on the background of mod- ern musicals. All of these activities prepared the students for more effective communication with their peers. In the small discussion mods all the stu- dents were able to probe deeper into the works of the great authors from the early Greek and Roman ages to contemporary times. Trying to impress the very essence of English upon their students were the fearless foursome of the English department: Sr. Rosa- lee, Sr. Dolorosa, Sr. Veronica and Sr. Patricia, each striving to have their students excel in this field. Neumann was also fortunate to have Mrs. Cantrell take over the senior class's study of Dostoyevsky's CRIME AND PUNISHMENT dur- ing Sr. Rosalee's illness. The never ending search for knowledge continues as Sister Dolorosa, Sister Rosalee, Sister Veronica, and Sister Patricia compare their notes on English classes, lectures, and new ways to improve the newly organized English resource center. Devotion such as theirs is basic for the advancement of students.

Doubling as teacher and librarian, Sister Vincent de N. D. not only succeeded in resurrecting this ancient language but also in allowing it to go totally mod to the utter delight of her fresh- man Latin I and sophomore Latin II classes. Likewise, French students were pleased with the approach used by Sister Patricia M.S., one of the newest addition to this insti- tution's teaching staff. She brought bounce and new meaning into this modern, romantic lan- guage with the help of realistic dialogues, tapes, workbooks, and new earphones. The students were brought closer to French cus- toms and culture, enhanced by her own unique way of teaching. Mary Nemecek gleams as she won a game of Roma” (a Latin bingo) in her Latin II class. Meanwhile John Knuth and Patti Kane await another chance. Turn on, tune in, is Sr. Patricia's theme as she plugs in Jim Safranek. The French I tapes proved beneficial in help- ing to conquer a new language. Sister Vincent familiarizes students with the concept of a new language and also acts as librarian. She is shown here with the paperback books that are available. A Janitor's work is never done, says Stanley Taylor as he sweeps the gym floor. This and many other tasks kept Neumann's janitor busy. To assure the students of a hearty, healthy meal are Mrs. Betty York, Mrs. Helen Rezek, and Mrs. LaDonna Pecha. For a scant 25?, hungry classmen were sufficiently nourished. Cooks And Custodians Indispensable Unsung heroes who performed the daily tasks so vital to the institution's well-being gained due recognition for their contribution to a smooth running Neumann. Unsuspecting students were enticed with tantalizing aromas of the duly fine cuisines prepared by the dedicated Neumann High kitchen staff under the capable direction of Mrs. Helen Rezec. These women devoted many hours each day to turn out balanced meals. Nor shall Neumannites forget the jolly custodian who kept the halls and classrooms spotlessly clean. Mr. Stanley Taylor made good use of his student help to carry out his constructive ideas on 101 ways to get the most work out of a broom. Most boys so not have to worry about dishpan hands, but Jim Matulka may find It a problem as he and other boys found themselves on K.P. duty. 25 Sister Stephanie, the impetus behind the newly formed art course, was a delight and inspiration to her students with her ceaseless energy and artistic talents. Maureen Redler puts the finishing touches on her tooth- pick Christmas tree. Her creation was only one of many at the Christmas art exhibit. Armed with her trusty paintbrush, Joann Snitily helped transform the dreariness of the art room into a panorama of color and excitement. Utilizing the modern technique of spray glue is Mary Behrns as she ambitiously completes one of the Centennial Conference banners to be hung in the gym. 28 STATE FARM INSURANCE, Agent Jiggs Grieser, 551 North Linden Art Room Glows With Living Color Alive and in color aptly described paint-bespeckled art students as they turned the art room into a center of continuous motion. Besides learning the basic facts about colors, students executed projects in wood, clay, and papier mache. The banners in the halls revealed the talent of emerging artists. An artistic climax was reached when the artists gave an art show displaying the many and various projects they made. In addition to creating their own master- pieces, art classes journeyed to Joslyn Mem- orial Art Museum, Sheldon Art Gallery, and The Market to better understand and appreciate the works of great masters. Exposure to culture was beneficial to the entire student body as talented individuals shared their discoveries. On the other side of the spectrum. Sister Stephanie successfully converted the gold room into a practical art studio. You think this Is fun, huh? You're right!

With the strains of So Long Dearie echoing through the auditorium, HELLO DOLLY concluded as a smashing success. The long-running Broadway production is the ex- citing story of a woman in retirement after her husband's death and the path she takes as she decided to rejoin the human race. Reggi Shonka, in the title role of Dolly, exemplified the joy of living life that the story was trying to express. Jim Sudik, as Horace Vandergelder, did a fantastic job. The rest of the cast did exceptionally well all three nights. The highlight of the production was the Waiters' Gallop, as the boys in the chorus showed off their knowledge of dancing techniques in an intricate dance routine. The drama director was Sister Rosalee Burke assisted by the student director, Craig Breunig. The orchestra, under the direction of Perry Dawes, added a professional flair to the entire production. ECONOMY GROCERY, Open Nightly, 355 Broadway 30 Three Nights Before the parade passes by, Neumann will have dis- played its singing and dancing ability during the three- night performance.

Dolly Reggi Shonka joyfully accepts a bouquet of red roses from her grand- father, R. C. Wesely. 32 Fr. Rauth and Emil Cernik try out their new dimmer board which, after many hours of very hard labor, was completed in time for the first production of ”Hello Dolly.” Patrice Behrns carefully applies make-up to Rich York before the play begins. Crews like this helped to make the play a big success. Shape up” is a direct quotation from Sr. Rosalee as production day draws near. Before the curtain can go up there are many details that must be ironed out to insure a smooth running play. It seems that Sr. Rosalee must have gotten her point across, as no other play was more successful than that performed by the classes of'70 and 71. 33 Capable Council Plots Year’s Agenda Anticipating a heated discussion, these school council mem- bers gather informally around the fireplace: HowieKrumel, Marge Meysenburg, Fr. Philip Rauth, and Bob Ludvik. The school council, aiming for diversity in student government and value in Wednes- day assembly mods, became a viable part of Neumann High School. The school council was faithful in or- ganizing class elections and sponsoring the Freshman Mixer at the beginning of the year. A liaison was created between classes and the council as representatives regularly attended meetings of both to take down re- quests and report results. Lamentably, the council was unable to branch out to find new interests to boost school spirit among the student body, but they did manage to fulfill their assigned duties and obligations. The task of previewing a film for an upcoming assembly was delegated to the school council, as its members soon learned. Seated: Sister Stephanie, Marilyn Swartz, Jim Sudik, and Jody Sullivan. Standing: Cindy Hohl, Jeanne Noha, Mark Holmes, Mr. Humlicek, Mike Tate, Mike Hanson, and Sister Rosalee. GAMBLES, 4434157, 147 West Fifth 34 The students always welcome movies and slides that come with the scheduled assembly mods. This one allowed the students to take their mind off their homework for a few minutes to learn about the problems facing America in the program presented by the Bell Telephone Co. Assemblies Arouse The F.B.I. at Neumann? Scheduled as- sembly mods allowed for a variety of activities during the 1969-70 school year. Such mods were utilized to allow students to express their ideas onthewar in Vietnam during the national moratorium or to view films concerning drug addiction. Guest speakers on countless subjects rangingfrom a girl in the women's reformatory to an inspector for the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation completed the year's program. Other assemblies, directed mainly towards the junior and senior classes, were designed to inform the students of certain fields available to them after high school and to make them aware of some of the pressing social problems facing our country. Student Interest During a scheduled assembly mod, Mr. Bollinger, repre- sentative of the Balfour Company, presents a variety of announcements available to seniors. THE FARMER IN THE DELL, Where Your Friends Are, Ceresco, Nebraska The expressions on the faces of these Cavalog section editors are almost as many and varied as the problems they encountered In creating a yearbook. Lively Staff Masterminds Yearbook Whistle while you work? Not exactly. It's just Chuck Malm's signal that Dan Mara is about to begin another lively CBS broadcast. A totally new experience was the only way to describe the newest addition to Neumann High School's curriculum this past year. Creative writing took its place along with the other extra-curricular activ- ities such as speech and debate. The creative writing class was divided into two sections—the yearbook and CBS (the Cavalier Broadcasting System). The weekly CBS report was a first at Neumann. It enlightened the students of the happenings of the past week. Meanwhile, the yearbook took up the majority of the creative writing staff's time as day and night they worked on layouts, copy, and captions. Headed by Sister Veronica, M.S., creative writing has become an invaluable asset to Neumann High School. Public relations became another im- portant job of the creative writing depart- ment as members were put in charge of writing news articles to be put in the weekly WAHOO DEMOCRAT and the SOUTHERN NEBRASKA REGISTER. The mainspring behind the success of the 1970 Cavalog, faculty advisor Sister Veronica, discusses a unique shot with photog- rapher Bob Jacobs. 36 Last minute research on the problem of United States unilateral intervention holds varsity debaters Mike Christensen, Collette Masak, Patti Humlicek, and Mike Hanson in suspense. Despite the trials and tribulations of every foren- sic instructor, Mrs. Jerry Likes, first semester debate coach, finds time to smile. Debate Achieves State Recognition Activity highlighted by travel marked the '69-70 debate season. Every weekend, January through March, saw the foursome of Patti Humlicek, Collette Masek, Mike Hanson, and Mike Christensen competing in various con- tests. Locations were as near as Lincoln and as far as North Platte. A change of direction came to the debaters when Mr. Jim Humlicek took over for Mrs. Jerry Likes. Overall, the season ended admirably with an array of awards and the wins outweighing the losses. Sophomore debaters Linda Humlicek and Randy Masek learn that the spoils of victory must be preceded by tedious hours of evidence-gathering and case-preparation. Mr. Jim Humlicek emphasizes the importance of speech patterns and gestures to the junior varsity team of Colleen Schmitt and Mark Vasina. 37 Front Row L. to R.: C. Divis, M. A. Divis, M. Poiak, C.

Talented Carol Svoboda sings a solo while Sue Keane accompanies. Carol's talent won her the title of Czech Queen and also assistant director for the chorus. Budding Carusos Harmonize Glee-fully Do You Hear What I Hear? That was the deep, sonorous voices of Neumann boys who composed the latest addition to the NHS chorus. For the first time in several years the Neumann chorus enjoyed the pres- tige of having male voices blend with the feminine on selections as varied as The Banamba, The Alleluia Chorus, and Sourwood Mountain. The Neuman bards made their debut at a chorus-sponsored Christmas assembly. The songsters became a big hit with the numbers Drummer Boy and Do You Hear What I Hear. For the first time in Neumann Chorus history, faculty participation was also realized when the entire body of teachers sang an amusing parody to Santa Claus is Coming to Town. As the result of the bi-weekly practices conducted by Sr. Patricia, M.S., the chor- isters participated in the Centennial Con- ference Choral Clinic held at Creighton Prep in March and the District Music Contest hosted by Midland College in April. The chorus was also represented at State Chorus by Carol Svoboda. Bonnie Shanahan and Juliann Martin take time out of their busy schedule to practice a vocal arrangement of the song Eternal Life. Bill Vlcan sings of his talent as a drummer while Bob Ludvik hums in agreement. The boys joined chorus this year for the first time. That's a G not a F , explains Karen Urban to Sharon Brabec.

Band Reaches Height Of Perfection Neumann's pride and joy came through again this year with flying colors as they captured their fifth consecutive Superior at Pershing. Among the many other recognitions that the band received this year were the Queen's Award at the Blair Centennial Parade and their first superior at the Plattsmouth march- ing contest. Under the learned direction of Mr. Perry Dawes, the young instrumentalists rapidly achieved a degree of excellence no matter where they performed. The band also put on two concerts for the music lovers of this area. Each of these con- certs was highlighted by the solo of a featured student. Did you hear that bad note?

Reaps Numerous Superior Ratings Dedicated, celebrated, and distinguished only begins to describe Neumann's No. 1 band. In addition to the honors captured by the entire band, individual musicians won recogni- tion for their endeavors. Six people earned trips to State Band while four successfully received positions at Hastings Honor Band. Individual participation was also the key to the success of the pep band whose members had more than their share of work this year. This rhythmical group, which played a variety of well-known tunes at home games, also helped make pep rallies spirited. Ending the year triumphantly, members of this experienced group united their talents to play for the musical HELLO DOLLY. Audiences were amazed as the small, select group played intricate pieces ranging from Call on Dolly to Hello Dolly. Football and basketball season Is also the season tor the pep band which performs at home games, playing their hearts out in any kind of weather. Hours of work pay off as the Neumann Band swept to their fifth straight superior rating at the State Marching Contest at Pershing Auditorium. Individual effort garners a trip to Hastings Honor Band for these music enthusiasts: J. Noha, Mr. Dawes, M. Musilek, C. Shanahan, and D. Plunkett. 43 SPORTS It’s been a long season is reflected in the faces of these Cavaliers as they sit out the final few minutes of the last game. Although the team went without a win, they never lost their pride and spirit. Gridders Shine Even In Defeat The '69 Cavalier football team scored high in fine play, good sportsmanship, and persistence even though the charges of Coach Mike Eger came up with a record or 0-9. In spite of the figures, numerous bright spots dotted the season. Defense became the name of the game for the Cavaliers. Many times going into the third and fourth quarters, the score was close or tied. Defensive stalwarts such as Bob Jacobs, Paul Sloup, Bob Cerv, Chuck Malm, Bill Vlcan, and Craig Breunig helped to keep it close only to see the opposition pull away late in the game due to a lack of offensive punch. This was proven in the opening game of the season as Neumann held the eventual conference champion, David City Aquinas, to a mere six points until midway into the fourth quarter. The Mon- archs then pulled away to win 20-0. The next outing saw the Cavaliers drop a close one to another conference foe, Pope Paul VI, 6-0. In this game the offensive charges picked up, and behind the quarterbacking of Pat Shanahan, drove numerous times deep into enemy territory only to lose the ball on penalties or downs. The next few games the team was obviously outclassed as they played the ranked teams of Class B, Columbus Scotus and Omaha Cathedral, and also Springfield-Platteview of Class C. Hey, where’d my blockers go? exclaims Mike Schmidt as the lights are put out by an opposing foe. Mick will return next season to further develop his running power. 46 MAX'S DRUG STORE, 4434167, 501 Broadway BOTTOM ROW left to right: K. Dudek, C. Cihal, T. Benes, L. Kavan, J. Matulka, B.

Paul Sloup seems to say as he applies the brakes to an opposing runner. Paul was a standout on de- fense all year long. Neumann prepares to launch another defensive assault as Bob Jacobs kicks off after a score against North Bend. Bob took care of all kick-offs. KRUMEL GRAIN STORAGE, 443-4255, Wahoo, Nebraska Neumann Places Hope In Next Year The team put it all together in a rugged duel against North Bend. The Tigers struck first to lead 6-0, but then the Cava- liers came to life. They turned North Bend miscues into scores and led at halftime, 14-6. North Bend came back with a quick touchdown right after intermission. The score stayed 14-14 until early in the fourth quarter. Another score by the Tigers seemed to put the game out of reach. The Cavaliers came back with a late drive only to see a receiver juggle the ball in the end zone and lose it as he fell. The final score was 21-14. At the end of the season, the Cavaliers boasted six players on honor teams. Paul Sloup received first team honors in the FREMONT TRIBUNE; Craig Breunig, Honorable Mention All- Conference and Second Team All-Area; Bob Jacobs and Mike Shanahan, Second Team All-Area; and Bill Vlcanand Bob Cerv, Honorable Mention. Fine showings by the freshman and reserve teams against Bergan, Aquinas, and Pius X gave many of these players val- uable experience. This, coupled with the spirit displayed throughout the season, created much optimism for the coming year. Bill Vlcan decides the best way to gain Mr. Eger's attention is Coach Eger gives the team a pep talk before an upcoming a sneak attack. Mick Schmidt (No. 12) can't bear to watch. game, but Mike Shanahan, Gary Musilek, and Bill Vlcan seem intent on making faces at the opposition. 48 MILO SVOBODA FUNERAL HOME, 443-3624 Wahoo, Weston I was just standing there, and he pushed me, ex- claims Bob Jacobs and Bill Vlcan to the willing ear of the referee. I'll get him, grimaces Mickey Schmidt as he prepares to de- liver a crushing blow to an opponent. There were too many to handle here, however. Neumann student managers, Dave Kuncl and Ken Dudek, prepare to open up the magic bottle that will end all of Neumann's ailments. Unfortunately neither could unscrew the cap. Mr. Eger points out an apparent weakness in the opposing team's offense to Craig Breunig. Sophomore Bob Cerv listens closely to pick up a few pointers. GERALD SAMPTER, Authenic Styling For Young Men, Fremont, Nebraska ‘‘Mod’ Squad Intrigues Assailants Get in there! Craig Breunig mutters as he heaves the ball through the hoop. Larry Cihal, an alert forward, stands ready for the rebound. The Neumann mod squad vanquished six opponents during the 1969-70 Cavalier basket- ball season and provided tough challenges for the remaining twelve. Under the direction of Mr. Jerry Likes, the team achieved rugged balance as two seniors, Pat Sullivan and Bob Jacobs, were sleuthfully supported by under- classmen Mike Shanahan, Larry Cihal, and Gary Musilek. The cagers dropped the opening six games but bounced back with a decisive win over West Point and Weeping Water. After losing the next two, the squad came back to beat Scotus and Louisville. They were then tripped by Fremont Bergan before defeating Gretna. Sullivan had the highest point total with Shanahan leading the rebound department.

Boy that's a long way up there, says a defender as he watches Mike Shanahan display his style under the basket. The ball goes high and the season is underway. Pat Sullivan goes for the tip in the first game of the season. Pat handled tipoff chores throughout the campaign. 51 Front Row: LEFT to RIGHT: Pat Carroll, Mr. Reeves, Konecky, Bob Cerv, Howie Krumel, Gary Musilek, Rick Jim Spicka. Back Row: Pete Vavak, Rick Konecky, Doug Woita, Ron Voboril, Mick Schmidt, Edmund Vitek. Reserves Romp Over Opponents Judging from the look on Mark Lackey's face, Mr. Reeves is either telling jokes during a time out, or things are going quite well. Many times reserve basketball is over- looked, but the 1969-70 Squire team established themselves early in the season as the team with whom to be reckoned. The Cavaliers, under the fast breaking of guards Rick Konecky, Mickey Schmidt, and Ron Voboril and bolstered by the solid rebounding of Pat Carroll, Jim Spicka, and Howie Krumel, marked a 5-0 rec- ord at the outset of their season. The team cooled after Christmas, but the Squires quickly picked up again, finishing out the first winning season of any team, posting a 9-7 mark. Mr. Reeves developed the Squires into top- notch athletes. Gary Musilek and Larry Cihal were the first of his team to be promoted. Jim Spicka, Mick Schmidt, Pat Carroll, and Howie Krumel also received some valuable varsity experience. With the experience gained, Neumann should be playing some interesting basketball in the years ahead. 52 Freshmen Rule Centennial Conference We try harder Is the motto of the high spirited freshman basketball team as they display the second place trophy In the Centennial Conference. Freshman basketball is usually a big ques- tion mark each year. When the yearlings from Neumann took the floor, everyone expected them to win, and they did, posting an outstand- ing record of 14-2, The only losses came at the hands of Paul VI and Holy Name teams, whom they either beat the next time or had beaten previously. Coach Egers chargers were led by Kevin Wallace, Mick Ohnoutka, and Jeff Breunig at the guard spots, while Bruce Kobza and Joe Benes pulled down every rebound in sight. The team posed victories over all con- ference foes showing their freshman power. To say the outlook is bright is an understate- ment. Many of the team will see a lot of reserve action this coming year, as well as a few some varsity action. Bruce Kobza goes for two In somewhat of a traffic jam under the basket. Bruce was an outstanding performer all season long and coaches are glad he will be back. Joe Benes decides to wait until the rebound is brought to him before he steals it. Kevin Wallace moves in to help just in case something happens. 53 Thinclads Gain Needed Experience Although few turned out for the track team, the Cavalier thinclads made up for this deficiency with determination and vigor. Because of a lack of upperclassmen on the team, the Cavaliers had very little of the experience essential for a winning season. The returning lettermen, though, are hoping the experience they gained, along with a larger turnout, will provide them with a winning season next year. Steve Vech, choked with emotion, receives the second place ribbon he won in the pole vault at the State Con- ference, from head track coach, Mr. Eger. Corwin Nelson displays the running form that gained him second in the 880 and third in the 440 in the freshman division in the State Conference at Fremont. These Cavaliers, two each from junior, sophomore, and freshman classes, hope to provide the nucleus of a winning team next year. Despite the poor season, they appear ready for the coming year. They are left to right: Steve Brabec, Dan Dailey, Corwin Nelson, Myron Benes, James Sudik, and Ed Vitek. Achievement Recognized At Banquet Why athletics? The benefits of such were clearly pointed out by Eddie Sutton, head basketball coach at Creighton Univer- sity, to the sportsminded audience in the Neumann gym during the sixth annual ath- letic banquet. He emphasized that the training received by athletes tends to mold them into self-disciplined individuals. The Most Valuable Player Award in football was garnered by Bill Vlcan while Pat Sullivan took both the Most Valuable Player Award and the Best Free Throw- Percentage Trophy in basketball. The cheerleaders and pep club officers also gained recognition for their part in boosting the team's spirit. The banquet was prepared by the Neu- mann cooks and was served by the freshman girls in Pep Club. Mr. Ed Sutton, guest speaker, talks on how athletics help to mold the character of a student as Coach and Mrs. Reeves appear to be meditating on a few chosen words. The towering Pat Sullivan humbly accepts the Free Throw trophy for the best percentage at the charity line, from the head basketball coach, Mr. Jerry Likes. Mrs. Curt Snoberger, in her first year as pep club sponsor, presents Patti Lanik not only with her achievement award for cheerleader but with a sly grin as well. The number one team at Neumann High School display their weapons and the trophy which is the reward of the battle. The team consists of Jeff Breunig, Pat Shanahan, Hard-hitting Craig Breunig exemplifies the all important depth of the Neumann golf team as he drives another down the fairway. Craig Breunig, Kevin Wallace, and the number one man Pat Sullivan. Pat Sullivan displays consistency and form as he shines in the conference meet. His golfing ability is the result of tedious practice. Golf Team Travels To State Meet Linda follows all the rules of golf, which includes keeping your eye on the ball, as she sparkles in the Wahoo Invitational. Up. to par describes the best athletic win-loss record at Neumann. The team com- posed of retiring seniors Craig Breunig and Pat Sullivan, junior Pat Shanahan, and talented frosh Jeff Breunig and Kevin Wallace, pulled an impressive 8-2 record in dual meets over the 1970 season. Pat Sullivan finished as medalist in all of the meets while Jeff Breunig provided staunch support. The other spots were filled by Craig Breunig, Kevin Wallace and Pat Shanahan who consistently supplied fine scores. The first victory of substantial importance gained by the Cavalier golfers was the Cen- tennial Conference Tournament in which Neu- mann walked away with first place. The team then traveled to the District B-l tournament where Neumann again made a fantastic show- ing, placing second in a field of seventeen teams. This earned the golfers the right to go to state, a first in Neumann athletic history. The girls' golf team represented Neumann very well at Hilltop Country Club in competition with many larger schools. Their combined efforts gave them the second place trophy in the tournament. 57 The Neumann High girls' golf team displays the epitome of any team's desire,a trophy. Linda Meduna, Reg Ber- anek, Cynthia Beranek, and Ann Wallace all contributed their talented efforts to add the first trophy ever won by any girls' team to the Neumann trophy case. This was only the second tournament entered. School Spirit Boosted By Pep Club An atmosphere ol spirit was created by these varsity cheerleaders: Laurie Chvatal, Janet Hansen, Ann Wallace, Jane Bibow, Jenay Breunig, Julie Peterson. Boosting and boasting, the '70 pep club kept the spirit of Neumann's athletic teams going strong. First, in the matter of boosting, the Cavalettes poured hours of personal en- deavor into designing posters to adorn the halls on game days. Pep rallies featuring humorous skits often delighted or embar- rassed the coaches and team members. Occasionally, cars were decorated as another means to keep spirits high. As boasters, the pep club did an excellent job in giving credit to the athletes for their top performances throughout each season. Turning the tables, there was much to boast about the pep ciub itself, as its ef- ficiency was seen in the sponsoring of the homecoming activities and the selling of re- freshments at two tournaments hosted by Neumann, as well as in the providing of usual fare at all home games. Under the capable supervision of Mrs. Curt Snoberger, the pep club chalked up another successful year. Surgery on an opponent of the Cavaliers was necessary after a Neumann victory. Skits throughout the year enlivened the numerous pep rallies. Here is the backbone of the pep club: L. Kuncl, secretary; K. Knuth, president; Mrs. Snoberger; A. Fiedler, treas- urer; K. Williamson, vice-president. 58 First Row: M. Haba, C. Tvrdy, M. Proskovec, M. Ostran- sky, D. Slaughter, S. Hattan, L. Benes, A. Vech, D. Cihal, D. Pokorny. 2nd Row: M. Bartek, E. Cajka, C. Hohl, S.

Newcomers to the cheering field--Marge Meysenburg, Patti Lanik, Julie Martin, and Jean Hansen--cheered the reserve team on to a victorious season. 59 Homecoming Festivities Kick Off The 1969 Homecoming activities were brought to a climax by the revealing of the 1969 Homecoming royalty, Queen Laurie Chvatal and King Craig Breunig. Crowning them are the 1968 royalty, Marilyn Bartek and John Divine. The attendants to the royal couple were Julie Peterson and Bob Ludvik. Amid dangling stars and zodiac signs, everyone enjoyed the ecstasy of the Age of the Cavaliers.” The Heat Wave combo provided music. Pep Club officers Alice Fiedler, Laurie Kuncl, and Kathy Knuth walk through the traditional Cavalier honor guard formed by the senior football players. Social Season For one splendid night, the gym became an enchanting heaven accentuated with multitudes of glowing stars and a radiant moon. The theme Age of the Cavaliers, which was representa- tive of the astrological dawning, added to the exciting air of the homecoming festivities. At the herald's cry the senior honor guard assembled, forming an arc under the zodiac belt which portrayed all the zodiac signs. Mas- ter of ceremonies, Mike Hanson, then an- nounced the candidates as they passed through the arc. Highlighting the events was the crowning of the 1969 homecoming royalty. Amid thunder- ous applause, Queen Laurie Chvatal and King Craig Breunig were robed by Pep Club officers, Kathy Knuth and Kristi Williamson. Crowning them were last year's royalty, Marilyn Bartek and John Divine. To complete the royal court, Julie Peterson and Bob Ludvik were honored as attendants to the King and Queen. The captivating sounds of the Heat Wave combo provided the music for the first dance of the royal court. All friends and alumni then joined in for a night of triumph and enjoyment. Homecoming 1969 came to a close with all agreeing it was a night long to be remembered. These seniors were chosen by the pep-club members and the football team to be the candidates for the 1969 home- coming festivities. Front row: Ann Wallace, Denise Wesely, Always instilling spirit into the heart of the student body, the cheerleaders lead the enthusiastic pep club in a cheer at the downtown pep rally.

Lynn Shanahan cautiously tries her luck at tossing the ring over the necks of the bottles as Denise Bordovsky, Denise Bartek, and Mary Haba attentively look on. Band Promotes Exciting Fun Night It doesn't take much to make a carnival worker out of a Cavalier band member as this was verified at the fourth annual, and again successful, Fun Nite sponsored by the Neumann Band Parents. These students, running innumerable con- cessions and the ever popular cake walk, induced throngs of fun seekers to part with their money for a chance to win a prize. In the cafeteria, away from the bustle of the crowd, friends and neighbors had a chance to relax over a bowl of soup. To end the night on a prosperous note, the Stage Band entertained with a collection of swinging tunes. Sharp-shooting Norman Bales displays his expert marks- manship as he alms In anticipation of a well deserved prize. Seasons Bloom At The Cavalier Ball A Four Seasons theme provided social- izes with the choice of dancing within the bounds of summer, fall, winter, or spring as Cavalier Ball 1970 engulfed everyone in a spirit of gaiety. The shining harvest moon, the frosty white snowman, and the flowery tire-swing once again displayed the creativity and workability of the senior class as each season was re- spectively depicted in separate corners of the gym. The pleasing variety of this lively decor was heightened by the seasonable and inspiring sounds of Richmond Brown and the Blues Band. Is it the wishing well or the full moon that makes Ken Dudek's eyes twinkle as he shows Joanne Vasa that he's having a good time. Taking a break from the fun-filled festivities, Keith Rezac and Peggy Shanahan sample the refreshing pink punch and the Four Seasons cake. Freshman spirit never seems to tire as these frolicking fresh- man boys utilize the swinging scenes of summer to enliven the evening. 65 The royal court relaxes after the initial coronation excitement. The royalty are Reggi Shonka, queen; Bob Ludvik, King; Mary Behrns and Alice Fiedler, Beaming with the pride that befits a newly crowned royal couple, Bob and Reggi inaugurate the prom with the royal dance. Royalty Reigns 66 After encircling the gymnasium in the traditional grand march, these delighted seniors scan the unique African setting. Only their dazzled expressions can describe the thoughts going through their minds as they see the bril- liantly exhibited decorations for the very first time. attendants; Patti Lanik, junior vice-president; Mike Divine, junior president; and Bob Jacobs and Bill Vlcan, attendants. Over African Village The secrets of equatorial Africa were revealed through the enchantment of Dark African Night, the theme of the prom. King Bob Ludvik and Queen Reggi Shonka reigned over the native village which centered around a pagan African god. Lively couples danced under palm trees and amidst the African war masks and tropical birds while many a young man and his ladylove stopped to admire the trickling waterfall with its gurgling pool, shining rocks, and lily pads. Posing as African natives dressed in zebra and leopard skins, the prom servers served punch from an enormous cauldron set inside a jungle hut. Meanwhile the refined music of Bobby Layne and his Orchestra floated through the air heightening the tribal, but yet elegant, atmosphere of Prom 1970. Mood isn't created by decorations alone. The antics of L. Daily, M. Shanahan, and M. Otte are obviously generating spirit early as they prepare for the prom. Gazing at the bubbling pool at the foot of the shimmering waterfall, these couples seem to share in the intrigue of the night's romantic mood. A cynical smile crosses Pat Sullivan's face as he hears another of the numerous remarks made about him by Father Zastrow at the prom banquet. Freshmen Enjoy Life At Neumann The Class of '73, the most teased class in school, enjoyed themselves in whatever they did whether it was painting Room 28 or giving a Halloween party for UNICEF collectors. But, even joshing from upperclassmen could not daunt the frosh as they proved themselves up to the task in every instance. Winning the sec- ond place trophy in the Freshman Centennial Conference Basketball Tournament presented tangible proof of their ability. Adapting to high school and modular scheduling simultaneously proved to be the greatest challenge for the freshmen in 1970, but once again the lively class held their own. Showing such determination, they promise to be capable leaders. Rich Virgil demonstrates the use of the new head gear for the French class. The earphones were among some of the new equipment purchased this year. Chris Maly expresses his awe at the discovery of a long lost book in the hidden enchantment of his locker.

Moreover, the sophomores manifested a unique school spirit by decorating school walls with imaginative posters and cheeringthe team on to a victory. They likewise brought out many fine football and basketball players. The sophomores fine class unity will play a big part in their remaining years at Neumann.

Intelligent? Creative? Studious? Athletic? Alive? The answer is positively yes when it comes to describing the junior class of 1970. Junior versatility found expression in the modular system when classmates discovered that they could share even in studying. Dis- cussions seldom lacked animation as con- trasting personalities produced a variety of opinion. Compromises were always reached, however, in group projects which required unified support. Junior creativity crept out of the jun- gles when the class chose the unique and thoroughly imaginative Congo theme for the Junior-Senior Prom. In the fine arts division the juniors ex- celled in creative writing, speech, debate, and band. Furthermore, the junior boys held their own in sports, composing a good part of the football team. In addition to being the backbone of the reserve team, they placed two athletes on the varsity basketball squad. The junior English class found it challenging, as well as different, for them to write on plastic sheets which were later put on the overhead projector. They also found that it was embarassing for the whole class to see their mistakes. 78 Studious In Exciting Mod Year D. Bartek R. Bartek P. Behrns A. Benes M. Benes J. Bibow D. Bordovsky D.

Mike Divine’s innocence is proven by his sly smile, or maybe that smile is showing his guilt.

Every pursuit was aimed at uniting the school and extending outside friendships. The two teen dances at Starlite helped sponsor a seminarian and raise funds for retreat while the Tree of Lights proceeds went to Fr. Bill Kalin in Venezuela. These activities showed the class's outgoing person- ality and actual concern for others. Inner self-discipline, acquired through four years of growing toward God, was the secret behind the seniors' success and will influence them in their future lives.

Those were the days my friend; we thought they'd never end—we'd sing and laugh forever and a day. The class of 1970 made its final walk through the Neumann High gym, Wednesday, May 27 as Commencement exercises began. Reggi Shonka and Craig Breunig represented the class when they spoke of the ideals they wish to achieve in their lives. As the graduation exercises continued, many seniors thought back to their past four years at Neumann: their freshman mixer, sophomore Christmas caroling, fitting junior class rings, performing in class plays, winning speech, debate, and band trophies, planning and decorating for prom, sponsoring two dances and the traditional Tree of Lights for charity; all had become a part of the Senior Class of 1970. As they left Neumann, the seniors hoped that their reach would exceed their grasp and that their future lives will be as fulfilling as their previous high school years. 94 With their last performance on the Neumann stage drawing to a close, the seniors seriously await the signal for the recessional to start. Each senior girl received an Ameri- can Beauty rose before the class processed down the center aisle and formed a circle to receive congratulations from parents and friends.

Reggi Shonka smiles happily as she is handed her diploma by Bishop Flavin. Reggi also was one of the speakers at graduation. Craig Breunig used the senior class motto, A man's reach should exceed his grasp, as the theme of his speech on graduation night. 95 Visit These Community Supporters FARMERS ELEVATOR CO-OP at Agnew and Davey offers many and varied services.

Woita 107 New Era Opens Modular scheduling, in its first year at Neumann, has proven beneficial to the students. Classes, resource centers, and everything requisite to a successful year of study was set up for us with the indi- vidual schedules at Neumann. Suddenly high school is over and there are no schedules handed to us. We are left to set our own patterns—to make the right decisions in order to have a life of com- plete fulfillment. Every graduate from Neumann, however, steps into tomorrow with the confidence to make those decisions. —Mike Hanson 108 m WALSWORTH Marcrline. Mo.. I S A. Ill WAlSWGfrTH
