Since recorded history began, seven has had a special dignity among numbers. Natural wonder in the sev- en colors of the rainbow, the relationship of the seven notes on the musical scale, or the rhythm of the seven days in a week, all attest to seven’s prominence. Scripture, however, gives seven its greatest importance. There, seven symbolizes per- fection and fulfillment. Neumann has now been in operation for seven years, seeking perfection and fulfill- ment as a high school of supe- rior quality. During this time it has ex- perienced times of frustration and growing pains; neverthe- less, definite progress and achievement has been evi- denced in all areas. This Cavalog records the history of the struggle for ful- fillment in 1971. Oxygen debts are repaid by Kathy Rezac and her P.E. cohorts as they rest after fifty laps around the gym. Taxpayers received a gift of S249.375 from Neumann High School last year. Although proposed Amendment Twelve for state assistance was defeated in November.

Neumann Bewitched By The Spell Of Mystical, Magic Seven Ultimate triumph is manifested by Sister Celeste on hearing a senior math student unravel her lecture on transcendental numbers. Later Sister experienced ultimate exasperation explaining amplitude of circular motion. Rivalry and a chance to compete can make or break a friendship. Friendship is being forged by Mike Kralik and Ray Tennant as they go a round of '‘friendly” Indian arm wrestling. Lucky Seven bewitched Neumannites as they breezed into the seventh year of opera- tion. The seventh senior class enchanted the faculty by a spirit of rejuvenation after three years of dormancy. Father Zastrow drew on some magic power to get through his seventh year as superintendent and principal. But Wordsworth’s poem best summed up the spell that Neumann was under in 1971. “We Are Seven.” Cheerleader propulsion through leg- bounding provokes hair-flouncing for reserve cheerleader Sheri Peterson. 7 CURRICULUM 9 Seventh Year Provides Opportunities For Enthusiastic Administration “They’re the height of dedication; they’re the fore- most in their fields. They’re the envy of the nation, but mostly, they’re for real.” Three key people made an extra effort to keep the school running smoothly. Father John Zastrow, a combination of su- perintendent and principal, acted as the cohesive agent in administration. As newly - christened guidance counselor, Father Philip Rauth kept his door open for all who needed advice, while Mr. Wayne Reeves served as Neumann’s athletic director. Mr. Reeves was also voted Centennial Con- ference chairman. The remaining faculty pro- vided the driving force behind two hundred fifty-eightstudents by their patience and persever- ance. This task proved to be herculean, but the faculty handled it with finesse. Although they served primarily as re- source people in a system of modular scheduling, the teachers also counseled individuals. The most valuable asset was the sincerity of the teachers that made learning a “real things.” Between signing checks and directing students, Father John Zastrow is able to take time out for a relaxing conversation. The job of both superintendent and principal proved to be hectic for this ambitious administrator. Whatever lurks behind the new office window holds many surprises according to the faces of these baffled freshmen. Keeping students posted of sports events was the task of Mr. Wayne Reeves, Neumann's athletic director. 10 Father Philip Rauth finds great satisfaction In his new role as guidance counselor, he suits are of great concern for many seniors in assisting students plan their careers, finds that application forms and test re- considering college. Passing out absentee lists comprises only a small portion of Mrs. Wilma Wolfe’s daily job as secretary. Good-natured gaiety arises spontaneously between sessions of introduced, including faculty work days and a faculty review serious discussion at a Wednesday morning faculty meeting. board. Shown are Sister Vincent. Sister Stephanie, Father Since twenty heads are better than one, many new ideas were Rauth, Father Zastrow, and Mr. Humlicek. 11 Sister Stephanie brings Christ closer to freshmen religion students with a focus on the gospel of Matthew. Religious concepts which reflect the thought and experience of man in our time are developed by Father Donald Imming in religion IV class, where seniors explore moral questions which have special relevance for them. Religion Develops A Theology Of Work Do you seek God's light in your own life? ask Patrice Behrns and Cathie Sloup in their senior religion project, which expresses the notions of God developed through- out history: the philosopher’s god, the mythical god, and the god of the gaps. Stressing God’s continual creation of the earth, religion classes developed several the- ologies of work. The essays of Teilhard de Chardin and Karl Marx provided background philosophies which were re- searched by seniors. Students looked into the many universal beliefs concerned with man’s purpose in this life and his ability to control his future. Thomas Aquinas’ five argu- ments for the existence of God helped seniors establish a def- inite concept of God, while un- derclassmen turned to the gos- pels for inspiration. Second term studies fo- cused on moral questions: birth control, poverty, war, and abortion. Special emphasis on marriage and family living steered seniors toward a work- able definition for the greatest existential reality--love! 12 Fr. Richard Brombach, religion teacher and transportation director, has been active at Neumann for seven years. Fr. James Demuth, director of religion, “opens doors at Neumann, helping stu- dents see Christ in themselves. Freshmen rap about the importance of the gospels and Christ in their lives in informal discussion mods. 13 Good spatial vision is the key to 3-D tic-tac-toe. The winner. Randy Masek. beams with triumph after capitalizing on Joe Benes’ elementary “faux pas.” On the side- lines, Mary Divis and Patti Kane enjoy the friendly competition. Discovery: Flashing an encouraging smile. Mrs. Rozanne Snoberger confidently explains complicated geometric constructions. The math resource center hums with activity as students from every level of mathematics gather in small groups to solve problems. Both math teachers spend most of their free time in the resource rooms, explaining to students how to arrive at correct answers. They believe individual discovery heightens interest and promotes learning. 14 The Common Denominator In Math “They work because they like it-in most cases,’’ reveals Mrs. Rozanne Snoberger, who teaches geometry and advanced algebra. Her statement aptly expresses the attitude of Neu- mann math students, whether their interests lie in the prac- tical problem area or in a more abstract field. Goals this year were the development of students’ po- tential to think logically using inductive and deductive reason- ing. Practical Applications of Math, a series of talks by businessmen, was arranged by Sister Celeste and Mrs. Sno- berger to give their students first-hand information on the importance of mathematics in business. Frank Jirovsky. Dave Lanik. DonTvrdy. team up to produce de- signs on their huge spirograph. Equations come to life as Sister Celeste adds color to the class by applying them to common volume measurements. Wayne Edgar, light and water clerk, points out to Agnes Bouc numbers on a meter which indicate kilowatt hours. His talk was one of a series sponsored by the math department to acquaint students with uses of mathematics in business. Packets Catalyze Student Reactions 16 Seven years to send a student to the moon? Astronaut Jim Chvatal models an authentic NASA spacesuit Sister Sally Ann uses visual aids in small group discussions to bring ab- stract ideas into focus. Chem phys students know that good things do come in small “packages.” The “pack- ages” (or packets) were an in- genius method of combining chemistry with physics. After presenting a helpful commen- tary, these lessons went on to outline objectives and concepts to develop. Sister Sally Ann assisted in planning and writ- ing the revised series last summer at the University of Nebraska. Room 11 across the hall was a beehive of activity as, among other lessons, biolo- gists eagerly searched for in- sect names. Mrs. Autumn Koch planned this project for stu- dents who like to work with ac- tual specimens. Resourceful Mrs. Autumn Koch ponders a question as her students work in groups, probing biological mysteries. Purifying an unknown by distillation requires stands, clamps, flasks, glass tubes and three science-minded chem phys stu- dents. Hilary Kruce. Bill Rezac, and Pete Vavak adjust the angle of a glass tube. Using the knowledge gained from their packets and other sources, they can now determine the un- known given to them by their teacher. 17 “Mini-Courses” Part of Maximum Rev. Daniel Munson introduces the par- A typical lively debate is lead by discussion leader, Peggy Shanahan. The small ables as a literary form during senior group classes gave the seniors a chance to discuss their “mini-classes” in depth. English lecture. Here they discuss Romeo and Juliet. Sister Mary Dolorosa, with the aid of a film strip, explains the “Tragedy of Doctor Faustus” to Keith Rezac and Phil Bohaty. Besides her role as junior English teacher. Sister is junior class sponsor. A friendly octopus was the result of a demonstration given by Diane Pacula in sophomore speech. 18 English Requirement “Mini-courses” were a new feature in the English de- partment this year. These short, three-week electives for seniors ranged from courses in Greek mythology to contem- porary short stories. A poll taken among the seniors fa- vored the new courses eleven to one over a one-book anthol- ogy approach. Guest lecturers included Rev. Daniel Munson, who spoke on Bible literature; Sister Pa- tricia, who showed the rele- vance of Hamlet; and Mr. Cal- vin Rife, who gave insights in- to Black Literature. As for the other classes- demonstrations, skits, and pantomines added up to a fruit- ful sophomore speech class; freshmen became masters of the four genres: fiction, non- fiction, poetry, and drama; the study of English literature was the main area for the juniors. The English year was climaxed when Neumann’s English de- partment received state - wide recognition. Sr. Vernoica, English IV teacher, often borrows the library typewriter for typ- ing her unpredictable tests. Drama teacher.

Humor and American history unite in Mr. Steve Brown as he pops a joke in one of his junior history classes. Political Structure Probed Historically And Critically In Social Studies Combine serious thought and a wry sense of humor, and you get the formula for a suc- cessful social studies depart- ment. Mr. James Humlicek was the steering wheel of the social studies band wagon. The mod- ern problems class broke from the regular routine when sen- iors focused on major world problems as shown by their two major assignments of the year: writing a research paper on pollution and reading four con- temporary paperbacks: Soul on Ice, Let Us Now Praise Fa- mous Men, The Population Bomb, and The Other America. The regular class discussion 20 centered on current events. The sense of fun present in junior American history class was due more to Mr. Steve Brown’s joking remarks than a relish for history. The class not only appealed to the humorous, but also to the ar- tistic and journalistic senses. Students were able to delve ex- tensively into American history by either composing a term pa- per or constructing an art ex- hibit. After changing to new books at mid-year, another blessed event befell Mr. Brown at the end of the third quarter. He became the proud father of twin girls. With history continually in the making, Phil Bohaty and Suzanne Richter sparkle at the idea of changing books. “Eenie. meenie, minie, moe, which shall I read?'’ Lynn wants to know as she chooses a book for senior class. The serious thought expressed on Mr. James Humlicek s face as he teaches world history class reveals to the freshmen that world history is a serious subject. Mr. Humlicek also conducts senior social studies classes. Juniors Larry Furasek. Carol Divis. Hilary Kruce, Liz Sloup, Mary Ann Divis, Dan Dailey. Barb Pleskac. Ed Komenda, Paula Wolfe, Laurie Kuncl.

French II students gave Sis- ter Patricia a St. Patrick’s Day party in the midst of their verbal tense studies. French I pupils made a variety of proj - ects in their first encounter with the French culture. Sister Vincent and Father Zastrow used the classical approach in teaching freshman and sophomore Latin. Latin lin- guists translated accounts of the Roman Empire and Julius Caesar. Improving individual read- ing, speaking, and writing abil- ities composed freshman lan- guage arts pupils class periods. Under Sister Dolorosa, the lan- guage arts class also learned to utilize the library facilities. Games and projects acquaint students with a people and their language in Sis- ter Patricia’s classes. Binding magazines tor cataloging is one of the tasks Sister Mary Vincent finds necessary for a pleasant library. 22 Freshman language arts students Vickie Rezac and Darlene Skibinski enjoy learning by listening to records. Karen Janecek becomes a little French girl, and Diane Cihal a Christmas tree in their French II Christmas skit. At the board, Sister Stephanie demon- strates form and style with chalk for interested senior art students. Senior art displays draw many admirers to the art room where Mark Lackey ex- plains the kiln-drying and glazing of clay projects to underclassmen Julie Lanik and Donna Slaughter, who enjoy the original creations of art students. Wood Chips And Paint Swirls In Art Driftwood takes on new dimensions and beauty when Pat Shanahan applies a steady hand and a sharp knife. Mark Otte is certainly getting a head” by fashioning this one from plaster-of- paris for display at the art show. “Pandora’s Paintbox,’’ better known as the art room, was the scene of many master- pieces of color this year. Among the many surprises in the tiny, but active, room were two pieces of sculpture created by Larry Spicka and Patrice Behrns which qualified for the District Art Show. Other displays in clay craft which received awards at the Ladies’ Club Art Show were designed by Larry Spicka, Patti Lanik, and Kathy Bohaty. Mark Otte and Cliff Thege excelled in the plaster-of-paris media while Mike Shanahan and Myron Benes won recognition with their impressionistic drawings. Displays of these special proj- ects, wood carvings, and paintings added a spark of beauty and interest to the art room. 23 With commands of e...space...f..., Mr. Likes, armed with his trusty yardstick, drills his typing students. ''Now, Jim, this is how you release your tab stop,” says Jeff Breunig as he teaches Jim Sudik the finer art of typing. A cynical smile from Mr. Reeves is enough to tell his students that some- one finally gave a right answer. Bookkeepers Have Cash On Hand What is the major objec- tive of the business courses? “Efficiency,” according to Mr. Wayne Reeves, instructor of business math classes. Mr. Reeves further commented, “We strive for a general knowledge so that a business can operate smoothly.” Neither pen, pencil, nor sticking keys could stop the stenographers and typists un- der Mr. Jerry Likes. “The ma- jor objective in shorthand was to reach a goal of 70-80 words per minute,” says Mr. Likes. Typists strove for a similar goal. But the predominant fac- tor in the success of all busi- ness courses was the desire to excel. A hungry Stevie Likes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Likes, takes over his father’s shorthand class. The Christmas spirit gives these girls a chance to celebrate the joys of taking a class from the younger generation. 24 Staff Renders Seven-Fold Services Tuning up the snowplow for the wintry season ahead, Stanley Taylor takes a trial run to make sure the machine is running properly. Neither snow, rain, nor hail stopped Stan from doing his job. Highly efficient and well-organized, the team of Helen Rezek, Marieann Shalon, and Bertie Novacek cooked up many a nutritious lunch. Joe Orduna takes time out to score a touchdown with the ladies. Essential services were rendered in seven-fold meas- ures by an industrious staff. A most efficient custodian, Mr. Stanley Taylor, buffed floors and glass to high-gloss shines. His duties were many, but his manner of doing them proved to be as polished as the floors. Aromas of homemade bread and cinnamon rolls floated out of the kitchen to tempt anxious students to eat early. In the kitchen Mrs. Rezek and her helpers pre- pared a variety of menus de- signed to keep students’ calo- rie count high. Outside the cafeteria, bus drivers Carl Jelinek, Ken Hor- nung, and A1 Shanahan did their job with the required patience and a spare smile. November’s Fall Follies excites class competition with contests like the human pyramid and tug-of-war. ‘The Changing Times” spices a welcome relief to the salt-of-the-earth school day. Traveling complete with costume, this Fremont Bergan singing group entertains schools all over the state with everything from classical music to hard rock. Singing “Silver Bells” and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.” the faculty express their holiday spirit to the students in December’s Christmas assembly. They spot- light the program as the only known faculty choir. Corporal Manning and Kim Shonka reel a film produced by the Nebraska Safety Patrol on traffic safety. 26 Variety Is The Spice Of Assemblies Father Patrick O’Byrne speaks about the four warning signs of alcoholism at February's assembly. Seasoned with a variety of educational and entertainingprograms, 1971’s assembly schedule included a performance from Doane College Concert Band, a wild confrontation with an exciting singing group from Fremont Bergan, and religious and lay speakers communicating their ideas about driver safety, alcoholism, politics, and Jesus Christ. Highlighting the assembly schedule, the newly initiated Fall Follies was a big smash with the students, giving them a chance to show off their skills in fierce but frolicsome competition for a home- made trophy. These monthly assemblies were sponsored by the School Council, which worked diligently for many hours to provide the most bene- ficial diversion to spice up the curriculum. God and college football meet in the person of Joe Orduna, guest speaker for September’s assembly. Joe, a University of Nebraska halfback, speaks of his relationship with God. keeping students spellbound for sixty minutes. 27 SPIRITUAL Gigantic, trailing banners, proclaiming the message of the season, set the mood of the Thanksgiving Mass. The Neumann students and faculty had much to be thankful for during the 1970-1971 school year. Masses Nancy Hakel and Mark Otte prepare one of the many Masses held in the newly- established chapel. 30 Mark Seasonal Changes “Mini-Masses” became a new facet of a Neumannite’s daily schedule. Students organized these Masses striving to bring the true Christian message to today’s life. These short, personalized litur- gies were held in the former English center, which was converted into a chapel. All-school Masses were held once a month during assembly mods. Candles made in the art room, mind-catching banners, and powerful songs brought new awareness into the Eucharistic cele- brations. Students prepared them with themes relevant to the par- ticular season. One of the most memorable Masses was the Thanks- giving Mass with unusually large banners bearing the message of Christ and thanks. Another impressive celebration was the Christ- mas Mass; for this, the gym was decorated with a rustic nativity scene. Students appreciated these thought-provoking and inspira- tional Masses. “Take care to wonder harmonizes the folk choir at one of the assembly litur- gies held at Neumann. With his usual depth of thought. Father Imming ponders the meaning of thanks during Thanksgiving Mass. The peace sign, symbolic of the Christmas season, encompasses the Mass concele- brated by Fathers Zastrow. Demuth. Rauth. and Imming. This celebration was the “go in peace for the Christmas vacation. Tired classmates, oranges, and cards Dusting rafters is the contribution that jostle homeward after a memorable stay Mike Vasa makes to the senior's effort at the O’Donnell Center. to spruce up the retreat hall. Seniors Experience Trust And Learn 32 Intellectual, inspiring, and somewhat surprising describe the personalized discussion groups in which the seniors found themselves absorbed at the 1971 senior retreat held at the O’Donnell Center. For two-and-a-half days the seniors reevaluated life and tried to capture the true meaning of living in a Christian way. Trust walks, lifts, and other activities were geared towards understanding each other with a new awareness. Sixty-three seniors under the helpful guidance of Father Eagan and Creighton University students joined in these various experiences. Midnight talks, shared meals, and pillow fights helped to renew old friendships and develop new ones. Laughter and enthusiasm com- bined with serious thought to create a retreat which became a memorable time for all the members of the senior class. Rustic cabins and quiet countryside ap- peal to the seniors and provide a fitting setting for retreat. Honesty and openness are the basis for all discussion groups such as this one led by Mickey Schmidt. The full meaning of the word trust” is brought to focus during the evening service. Quiet meditation and personal prayer add to the sense of complete unity experienced by senior retreatants. Of God The Father At Retreat Lynn Kadavy displays the trust necessary for real Christian heads. To visualize the trust” concept, retreatants partic- living as she allows Dan Ottis, Rick Konecky. Leonard Cernik, ipated in this trust-lift activity which concluded the two and a Larry Spicka. and Mark Vasina to hold her high above their half days spent at the O’Donnell Center. ACTIVITIES School Council Takes Neumann On A published student hand- book, a revised constitution, the Fall Follies, exchanges with the Wahoo and Aquinas councils, the Spring Function, and a frank and open discussion with the student body on attitude and behavior proved that real student leader- ship had come to Neumann in its seventh year. Disagreeing that those who govern most, govern least, the 70-71 School Council became Neumann’s first effective stu- dent government. Neumann and Wahoo council members dis- cuss the joys of elective office during an exchange meeting of the two councils. Neumann’s first published student hand- book was written in the summer by Mr. Perry Dawes and Mike Christensen. Bi-monthly meetings during the summer resulted in the School Council sponsoring a teen dance for the Wahoo Centennial, an active freshmen recruiting campaign, and the decision to sell buttons, sweatshirts, and pennants to raise school spirit. Sheila Kaiser and Bonnie Shanahan raise the lounge board in the cafeteria. Contain- ing seventy-eight mods with 2,300 names, the board signified the work and thank- lessness councilmen received for their efforts to provide a student lounge.

Here Colleen Schmitt and Cynthia Ruzicka enjoy a session at the NHSPA convention held in Lincoln on November 3rd. Christensen, Comedy And Confusion Rule Yearbook Christensen, comedy, and confusion characterized the compilation of the 1971 Cavalog. These elements re- sulted in a three column layout made for both a challenge and occasional confusion. Over two hundred rolls of film were used to capture the finest moments of round-the-clock action. An exclusive innovation of Editor Christensen was to distort ver- tical picture strips into misty memory shots for division pages. Although bubbling with new ideas, the staff did not neglect to study the traditional rules of journalism. Section editors journeyed to the NHSPA and Walsworth yearbookconven- tions, botn ot winch were en- joyed by the staff. Comedy came in the form of the CBS broadcasts which were humorous and illuminat- ing, showing that the Cavalier broadcasters were efficient newsmen. Besides new items covering the gamut of scholas- tic happenings, winning scores from sports and fine arts ac- tivities highlighted the CBS re- ports. Opinion polls were taken in an effort to gather academic sentiment. Students were asked to opine upon such subjects as “What is plus or minus about our teachers?’’ The teachers also expressed their views on student qualities. Oh! No! The editor and the sponsor are having another friendly disagreement. This year's staff members are A. Benes, C. The CBS report, a most enjoyable Thursday morning presentation, is edited this year by Laurie Cajka, 38 Schmitt, M. Jelinek, C. Nelson, M. Christen- sen. Sr. Veronica, C. Ruzicka, M. Kralik, and L. Cernik. Loretta Malm, Julie Martin, and Sue Keane. Their imagination, creativity, and charm make every broadcast a success. A bonus for assistant section editors Larry Furasek, Sue Keane, and Frank Lanik is an opportunity to explore the exciting profession of journalism. These juniors are getting on-the-spot training for next year’s Cavalog. This year’s photographers Butch Vasa, Ray Tennant, and Bob Matuika are responsible for the expressive photos taken. Ray and Bob are also assist- ants to the section editors. 39 Before, During, And After The Pershing Before the performance.

And one, and two, and three, and four,” resound Carol Shanahan, Diane Pacula, Rochelle Bartek, and Laurie Cajka as they march the boards in preparation for the Pershing Marching Contest. Later, after such hard en- deavors, band members often sported large bruises on their knees, but they did lift their feet higher. 100% Effort Yields One Plus Band “This band is one of the very best-trained bands in every respect that I have ever seen or judged. Watching this outstanding band made my trip to Nebraska worthwhile,” said Charles Emmons, band direc- tor at the University of Mis- souri. Mr. Emmons was a judge at the Pershing Marching Con- test where the Cavalier troop- ers garnered their sixth con- secutive superior with individ- ual marks of 1, 1, and 1 plus! Another accomplishment was that Patti Lanik, the band’s first royal representa- tive to the Grand Island Har- vest of Harmony, was selected queen. Also, a new horizon for work was unveiled with the creation of the first antique auction. And since along with work came recognition, band students were honored at the first band banquet. On their way to State Band at Grand Island are L. Malm, D. Koehler, Mr. Dawes, and D. Plunkett. In pep band, D. Shense, K. Dailey, and S. Janecek prove that even freshmen percussionists show concentration. 43 Speakers Win Medals And Bloopers Triumphs and “bloopers’’ punctuated the year for speech students. While trophies were sparse in the genesis of prog- ress, the climactic Centennial Conference Speech contest was a landslide of success. Seven medals and two trophies were collected. Unique in its pres- entation was the one-act play depicting Edgar Lee Master’s “Spoon River Anthology.” A total of 186 entries involving twenty students capsulized the season. Howling for Minsie to come out of the bathroom. Bonnie Shanahan wins second place with a cutting from Plaza Suite. 44 Jim Sudik’s and Pike Shanahan’s ludicrous actions revolve around the dilemma they face on meeting a famous man in their cutting from “Waiting for Godot.” Their execution of this cutting won first place at the Centennial Speech Meet. Mrs. Baker, in a mood of anxious hope, views the postings for the final round at the Conference Speech Tournament. Research magazines and one 4x6 file card aid Colleen Schmitt in winning second place in extemp.

The play is about Elwood Dowd, who has an invisible rabbit friend called Harvey. The play deals with their episodes as Elwood’s sister, Veta Simmons, tries to commit him to a mental hospital. How- ever, the tables are turned, and Veta gets committed instead. After the mixup, Veta has a change of heart and decides to keep Harvey around for a while, deciding it would be easier to live with Elwood as a brother than with an ordinary person. The cast, twelve members strong, had a “whole bunch’’ of fun at play practice during the five weeks before produc- tion on November 27th and 29th. What? Two holes in the brim of the hat? exclaims Dr. Chumley (K. Rezac) on finding Harvey’s hat on his chair. 46 seems to be enjoying this session over Judge Gaffney (R.

Veta tries to talk Elwood into getting the shot so he can forget Harvey. Although he finally consents, the shot is not given after all when Veta decides that she likes Harvey. Elwood’s rabbit friend who is six feet tall. 47 “Praise be to Gawd! drones Preacher ‘Well, she gotta know sometime!'’ hollers Mrs. Summey (Carol Nelson) to Mrs. Hagler (R. Tennant) as he marries Allen (Colleen Schmitt), mother of Barbara Allen. Barbara frets as the two women Barbara (R. Nelson) and John (J. Sudik). debate whether to reveal the news of her witch-baby. Seniors Bewitch “Dark Of The Moon” Witches and Smokey Moun- tains created an eerie and fas- cinating mood for the opening scene of the senior class play Dark of The Moon, a drama based on the legend of Barbara Allen. As the play unfolds, the witch boy John tarries in the mountain community because he has fallen in love with the beautiful Barbara. The play ends in tragedy, for Barbara must die in consequence of the jealousy of two witch girls. Hillybilly seniors, aided by underclassmen, captured a real mountain atmosphere. 48 John cautiously regards the enticing mountain sorceresses as they weave their spell upon him. The nimble-footed witchesarej. Sullivan, N. Hakel, N. Fiedler, J. Meduna, P. Lanik, and D. Plunkett. John Human issues a bloodcurdling scream at the death of Barbara Allen, whose life was forfeited to fulfill a bargain between the two jealous witches and Conjur Man. John turns back into a witch and disappears. “Little mountain gal won’t you come out with me?” sings Uncle Smelicue (Howie Krumel) to Edna Summey (Liz Cajka) in a dance scene held in the town square. Howie received “Best Supporting Actor” for this role. Praised as an excellent light crew. K. Polacek, B. Fujan. T. Princ, and L. Cernik watch for their cues. 49 SPORTS Cavalettes “Do Their Thing’’ Determined to prove that behind every good man there is a good woman, the Cavalettes “did their thing.” On pre-game days, mem- bers were seen dangling from ladders, trying to adorn the ceiling with streamers or struggling to tape up obstinate posters. Motivated by the new mod- erator, Mrs. Koch, the club made the victories more glo- rious and the defeats less pain- ful. Prompted by the inexaust- ible energy of their officers, pep club members assisted in readying Neumann when the Cavaliers hosted the conference basketball tournament for the first time. Subordinate to the watchful (?) eyes of sponsor Mrs. Koch, the officers stock up on soft drinks for a home game. They are Secretary Pat Kuncl, President Nancy Hakel, Treasurer Diane Bordovsky, and Vice President Laurie Kuncl. Julie Martin, Patti Lanik, Marge Meysenburg, Jane Bibow, Marilyn Swartz, and Jenay Breunig lead the Cavalier cheering section. Rain, hail, sleet, storm of night, and crowded buses cannot dampen their spirit. Sharon Bartek and Cindy Hohl discover that making popcorn for a game is not necessarily a gourmet’s job. Kicking up their feet and crowing about a seventh birthday, the Cavalettes boost the Cavaliers to a winning basketball season. Captained by ten cheerleaders, the pep club pursues the team to every destination, hoping to return from the venture with a victory. Costumes, signs, and other get-ups enable the girls to instill spirit in everyone they meet. ‘Evening. Ladies! Evening. Gents! Neumann High School now presents-THE VARSITY! ’’ Every home game is started with the Neumann cheer of introduction after which the pep band chimes in with “Hey. Look Me Over”. 53 Competition Soars As “Keep your hands off!” warns Gary Musilek as Pat Carroll struggles for extra yardage against North Bend. Gangway, Im coming through!” yells Howie Krumel as he charges toward a de- fender. Howie s words seem in vain, but one could count on Howie for surprises. Howie was a hard, strong runner whenever he was called on. Bottom row: G. Chmelka. D. Tvrdy, D. Lanik. R. Tvrdy, D. Dailey. F. Lanik. D. Musilek, J. Breunig, M. Lackey, L. Action, action everywhere, but where is the ball? The confused ref can’t, find it, but the scoreboard tells the story. The Neumann gridders tenaciously held possession of the ball to beat Seward Concordia 38-18. Neumann Fights Schedule Placing the final season’s record at one win, one tie, and seven losses, the new football coach, Mr. Steve Brown, and his charges brought Neumann its first gridiron victory in two years by knocking off Seward Concordia 38-18. The win was foreshadowed by a tie of 6-6 against West Point C.C. the week before. Both in playing and in spirit, this year’s team was one of the strongest teams Neumann has ever fielded. The line was experienced and rug- ged; the backs were fast and confusing. Yet the energetic squad did not develop by acci- dent: Coach Brown started the pre-season training in early summer. “Power conditioning’’ was the by-word of the first sum- mer practices in small groups. Although the coach pushed the guys hard, they found the tedi - ous sessions necessary. Mus- cle pain dissipated, however, with the regular practices when the “strong’’ students became “rocked-ribbed” football play- ers. An all-team dinner pre- ceded a Mass for victory in the Neumann locker room, as the boys prepared for every home game of the 1970 football sea- son. After the Mass, the play- ers piled out of the locker room to give it another try. Determination and revenge are on the faces of these key defenders as they await a chance to get even. Novotny, Mr. Likes; Middle row: Coach Brown, K. D. Hraban, K. Wallace, C. Nelson, B. Kobza, A. Pokorny, S. Vech, H. Krumel, M. Divine, J. Chvatal, Benes, J. Virgl, L. Cihal, B. Cerv, P. Carroll, G. D. Konecky, J. Sudik, B. Shandera, P. Shanahan, M. Musilek . Schmidt, R. Meduna; Top row: B. Matulka, P. Bohaty, “Down to earth” is the motto on this play. In fact, the Neu- mann eleven were sometimes too far down to earth as far as their opponents were concerned. The herculean strength of the tackling front line often made the opposing ball carriers eat dirt. As this unlucky fellow hit the front four of Neumann, he found how “down to earth” really feels. Cavs Fight For Grid Recognition 56 A Neumann defender gets a helping hand from behind in the process of bringing down a Cathedral Cardinal back. Seemingly caught sleeping on the job, Gary Musilek is really very much aware of the situation at hand. As he struggles for yards, Ron Meduna spots the trouble and, to stop Gary from biting the dust, plans to attack the nearest foe.

Mr. Brown gave Mike many new plays which, when added to Mike’s three years of ex- perience, made him one of Neumann’s most vicious defensive players. 57 Cavaliers Create Chaos On Court Making up the winning Cavalier cage squad are Pete Vavak, Ray Tennant, Bob Cerv, Kevin Wallace, Jim Spicka, Larry Cihal, Mike Shanahan, Bruce Kobza. Don Hraban. Pat Carroll. Gary Musilek. and Jeff Breunig.

Michael 45 Neumann 61 Waverly 69 Neumann 44 Scotus 46 Winning three of their first four games, the varsity starting five of Larry Cihal, Mike Shana- han, Ray Tennant, Jim Spicka, and Gary Musilek successfully opened the basketball season. Then tragedy struck. With Mike Shannahan and Ray Tennant sus- taining leg injuries, the Cavs lost the last four games before the Conference Tournament. There, the Cavs edged Scotus by two points, lost to Cathedral, and then bounced back to beat Bergan with a score of 47-45, clinching the 3rd place trophy. After the Conference bouts, the cagers won five out of their last six games before heading for the Districts against Sew- ard. During the first round, the Neumann cagers had a “nerve- racking” three overtimes, with the lead changing in each one. When the buzzer sounded at the end of the third overtime, Neu- mann was on top with a score of 56-54. In the second game, the team lost by eight points to Waverly. However, Neumann ended with a winning record 12- 9, the first winning team in three years. 58 Jim Spicka pumps anomer one over a frustrated defender. Jim was famous for his long but accurate shooting. Not about to let a Bergan Knight capture the ball, Gary Musilek guards his escape while Don Hraban attempts to grab the elusive sphere from the scrambling pile. In the final seconds of the game, the Cavaliers held on by two points. Another game means another pre-game talk by Coach Jerry Likes. The Neumann five listen carefully, hoping to benefit from the coach’s scouting. The varsity team won many games by reviewing the other team's tactics. No. it isn’t a rocketship taking off--it’s Mike Shanahan coming down with another one of Neumann's rebounds. 59 Reserve Roundballers Hit Hardwood Jeff Breunig gets his shot off just as an angry opponent is about ready to give him a judo chop chop. ' Here Bob gets a hook shot over three astonished defenders. Even in a crowd, Bob Cerv tries his hardest. With “sophomore power’’ and “junior experience’’, the hard working underclassmen made the year a winning season with a record of 10-6. Powering ’he offense were the soph five of Bruce Kobza, Jeff Breunig, Kevin Wallace, DonHraban, and Gary Chmelka. Adding defen- sive prowess and skill were the junior regulars of Pete Vavak, Bob Cerv, Ed Vitek, and John Knuth. During the season, Coach Wayne Reeves conditioned his cagers with power and spirit, as shown in the last six games in which Neumann was not once beaten. Looking ahead to next year, the future Neumann varsity will fight to keep up this year’s winning tradition.

Coach Likes uses this time to explain Marlin Fujan as he competently shoots a retaliatory scheme to outscore opponents. The lean and lank freshman proved to be from the outer edges of the court. a formidable squad throughout the entire basketball season. Freshmen Practice For Future Fame Eagerly waiting and watching for a chance to snatch a rebound are Bob Paseka, Joe Cerv, and Greg Hohl. The Frosh showed great potential with the starting five of Joe Cerv, Lu Maly, Greg Hohl, Bob Paseka, and Marlin Fujan. The powering offense and good defense displayed by the yearling five helped them sweep to a 6-10 season under the varsity coach, Jerry Likes. Good outside shooting by Joe Cerv, Lu Maly, and Marlin Fujan, added to the rebounding powers of Greg Hohl and Bob Paseka, gave the team well- deserved experience. Supporting the first string’s efforts were Gary No- votny and Steve Styskal, guards, John Wolfe and Dave Pellan, forwards, and Don Schense, center. To provide experience for alltheup-and-comingfrosh, Mr. Likes made use of fre- quent substitution. Lu Maly sneaks away from his towering opponents in a closing situation. His speed proves a welcome asset. 61 Golfers Gain Second In Conference Off to a “swinging” start, the Neumann golf team launched another season. Gaining con- fidence by capturing second place in the Centennial Con- ference, the Neumann golfers went on to the Districts May 14. There they missed a third place tie by one stroke, thus knocking them from state competition. To save a stroke.

The fourteen-man squad doubled in size from the previous year. The team’s greatest achievement, however, was placing in four running events at the conference meet. The track team practices on the field south of Neumann with Mr. Steve Brown sounding the starting pistol. 63 SOCIAL 65 The smooth-sailing sounds of the Elysian Fields echoed through the Sea of Fantasy. Neumann spirit filled the homecoming festivities even after a loss to Fremont Bergan. Cavaliers Dive Into A Sea Of Fantasy Misted sea-green lights and a sunken galleon in a Cav- alier Sea of Fantasy set mixed emotions afloat. Suspense mounted as Master of Cere- monies Mike Christensen an- nounced Her Highness Queen Jenae Breunig and His High- ness King Ron Meduna. They were crowned amidst treasure chests filled with gold dou- bloons and other lovelies to be found in a mermaid’s trinket case. First attendants were Diane Bordovsky and Howie Krumel. Spirit of homecoming be- gan early in the week as the vigorous pep club sponsored and executed the undersea theme. Homecoming day itself, Sep- tember 29, was cold and windy, thus preventing the traditional bonfire held in the parking lot. I can't believe it, quivers Queen Jenae Breunig as she gives King Ron Meduna a hug. Senior players use crossed sabres to form an archway for Patti Lanik and Jim Sudik, Donna Bordovsky I want to play it again, I want to play it again.

Students “We’re gonna’ take you higher! Higher! HIGHER!’’ was the soul sound of the Elastic Band as they set the mood for the sixth annual Cavalier Ball. Their music inspired a unani- mous, spontaneous peace sig- nal from the crowd. The wild days of the Old West were resurrected in the Silver Dollar Saloon. A wagon wheel candelaora illuminated the old time bar with its nu- merous colorful liquor bottles and beer mugs. Wanted posters hung over the bar for Raider Ray and Petticoat Patti. While the old time atmos- phere of dancehall girls and cardsharks was delightfully wild west, young moderns wore skirt lengths varying from the modern mini to the by-gone maxi. A ragtime piano decked with barmaids added a genuine authenticity to the scene. In the opposite corner was a courting parlor with a love seat, crank phonograph, and a spooning lamp. Covering the tables is a pre-ball task of Sharon Brabec and Peggy Shanahan. Soar Higher At Cavalier Ball Sparkin’ and a courtin’ is the intention of Pike Shanahan as he flirts with Patti Bronson. I’ll see you five and raise you ten, Steve,” is the bid of cardshark Ron Meduna as the senior boys Curtis Havelka, Ron Meduna. Steve Vech, and Mark Otte try their luck at poker in the Silver Dollar Saloon. Golden brass sounds of the Elastic Band captivated the Silver Dollar Saloon. They performed popular numbers by Three Dog Night, Chicago, and Grand Funk. Laurie Kuncl and Mark Lackey enjoy the old-time flavor of pretzels and sarsaparilla. 69 Leona Pacula and Denise Machacek watch in suspense as LuAnn Bartek tries her fishing powers to set a horizontal pop bottle up straight. The fishing stand was one of the band's fifteen booths at this year ’s Fun Nite which helped the band clear over eight hundred dollars to be used for a new tape deck, chimes, sousaphones, xylophones, piccoloes, and band uniforms.

Surprise and joy filled the first blissful moments of their reign. Entwines Oriental Gardens With cherry blossoms and white picket fencing, the junior class presented Oriental Gar- dens Saturday, May 1st, as the last formal memory for the senior class. At a banquet held earlier at the Colon hall, the juniors and seniors dined among dancing wind chimes, rickshaw nut cups, and brightly dressed Japanese centerpieces. The finale of the evening was the traditional grand march, which was climaxed by the an- nouncement of the 1971 Em- peror Jim Sudik and Empress Patti Lanik. Attendants were Jane Bibow, Ray Tennant, Diane Bordovsky, and Howie Krumel. Evil glaring eyes and tangling scales of color upon a gargantuan form makes the fire- Oreathing Oriental dragon the center of attention.

Come Ride Our Spirit Train “We’ve got spirit! We’ve got spirit, everybody!’’ The familiar chant applied not only to sports, but to the extraordinary class of “74. ” Spirit was about the class whenever they undertook a new and different task: a chorus line of freshmen girls undertook and accom- plished the raising of school spirit before a football game to the tune of “Tea for Two,” and the boys exhibited their spirit by out- running the senior boys whenever the chase was on down the north hall. However, the best example was seeing any freshman run for lunch.

And Eat It Too Take sixty-eight measures of friendliness, add an unusual amount of ingenuity, spice it consistently with a real desire to excel, and the result is that rising batter known as the jun- ior class. Voted the “Friendliest Group of Girls’’ the feminine members of this class added a vital ingredient of enthusiasm to the overall academic rec- ipe. Equally responsive, the junior boys were off and run- ning in a number of fields, in- cluding track, football, and bas- ketball. Further stirring them- selves towards achievement, the juniors boasted the greatest number of students in any class to qualify for the honor roll. But the brainstorms went cre- ative, too, as the often zany class staged a Christmas skit complete with antlers via rein- deer-girls. Talents in the fine arts proved to be the frosting on the cake. Two members gar- nered positions in state band, while a good measure of others added a flair for drama in the junior class play Harvey.

The first leaf unfolded when the rough-and-ready seniors became high-pointers at the first annual Fall Follies. The often shaky senior girls sur- prisingly became Rocks of Gibraltar to win the pyramid event, as the senior boys cheered and coaxed them on. Further showing their new- found spontaneity, the seniors gave a rousing rendition of “I Saw Mama Kissing Santa Claus” at the annual Christmas concert. Accompanied by a tinkering piano and the booming bass of the boys, the group did a totally original version. In a more serious vein, the seniors led a Yuletime fund drive for the Indian missions. As a result, the Porcupine Ridge children enjoyed a Christmas of fluffy stuffed animals. Turning a leaf spiritually, seniors encountered soul- baring tete-h-t6te as a new ex- perience at the senior retreat. Many felt that the retreat coaxed a budding class unity into a full-blown bloom.
