Bishop Neumann Catholic High School - Cavalog Yearbook (Wahoo, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1978 volume:

Within this Album are captured a few of the memories belonging to the family of Neumann High School TABLE QF GQNTENTS Every school year is filled with memories, be they happy, sad, or otherwise. Some are outstanding while others are forgettable. This past year many memories were made. The winning of the state C-l football title on November 11, 1977 seems to be the most out- standing. In all of Neumann's four- teen years of existence, a state title has never been won until this sea- son. For the second year in a row, the boys’ basketball team went on to win the Nebraska Wesleyan Holi- day Tourney. The girls' track team made people well aware of their ex- istence by breaking ten school re- cords and sending two girls to the state meet. Community support of the school and its activities have really been a standout in the total picture. Many fans traveled over 450 miles to Ba- yard to cheer on the team to state finals. Also, with the aid of communi- ty contributions, it was made possi- ble for Neumann to purchase two new buses and a van. 4 New faces were added to the fam- ily photo album. With them came new ideas, courses, and activities, which sparked interest among the students. The drama department came away with a trophy for the best play at the Centennial Confer- ence meet, while the speech depart- ment sent a student to the state fin- als. The Neumann High marching band produced a clean sweep of su- perior ratings at all of the marching contests. The Catholic Daughters of America presented five art students with awards for their remarkable ar- tistic creativity. The Cavalog re- ceived honorable mention from the Nebraska High School Press Associ- ation. This was the third consecutive year that the yearbook received some sort of recognition. Numerous students were recog- nized individually for their accom- plishments. Academic and athletic scholarships were awarded to sever- al students for their outstanding ability and talents. The memories held in an album have much more meaning than could ever be expressed on one page. The students at Neumann have a memory book, and it is spe- cial because each one has contribut- ed their part to making Neumann what it is, what it stands for, and how it will always be remembered. 5 As you begin to unravel the future and you begin your journey, think back to the times that you had while you were still in school. The tests and the teachers, all the Friday night games, the prom, the hops, the parties, the welcome end of each school day and the glad coming of spring. Remember your classmates, and most of all, your friends, for they are worth more to you than ever could be said. -John Gillette “THE GANG “We are the champions” proclaims class of '78 Throughout four years of being at Neumann High School the sen- ior class of seventy-eight has shown that they were champions. Since freshman year the senior football team members had pro- claimed that they would be the State Champions. Their senior year on November 11, 1977, their prophecy came true by the win- ning of the C-l state title. Fifteen seniors were honored for their achievements at a March 21st luncheon hosted by the Wa- hoo Lions Club. Those chosen to attend were: Cindy Albin, Linda Bartek, Julie Cajka, Steve Eth- ofer, Jackie Kavan, Tom Konecky, Margaret Malm, Tim Lorenz, Pat Martin, Lynette Matulka, RaNae Polacek, Janet Sloup, Dave Tvrdy, and Mark Walla. For their third year in a row, the senior class won again the Christ- mas tree of lights, collecting a to- tal of $200.23. I he class donated the money to the Villa Marie School in Waverly, for educable mentally retarded children, run by the Marian Sisters. Thirty seniors chose to attend the senior retreat held on Novem- ber 15-17 at the Crosier Monas- tary in Hastings, Nebraska. The 30 seniors attending had the op- portunity to know one another better and to get to know them- selves and their relationship with God better. When principal Thomas Be- hounek left, it was his special re- quest that the seniors continue to set good examples for the under- classmen and contribute their ef- forts to the smooth running of the school. May 11th was the seniors last day of school. Graduation was on Sunday, May 14th. Rick C. Ahrens Cynthia L. Albin Linda M. Bartek Ronald A. Bartek Timothy Bartek Eugene J. Benes James S.

The juniors were assisted by their sponsors, Sister Marie Alice Ostry, N.D. and Ms. Darlene Thole. Money was raised by tak- ing over the concession stands during the district basketball games. The juniors also held bake sales and sold Cavalier bumper stickers; all juniors participated. There was also much pride taken in the junior class when they all constructed the prom decora- tions during that preparation week. Six juniors, Grace Benes, Rita Pleskac, Joan Breunig, Mary Egr, Cheryl Vlcan, and Barb Hagg broadened their horizons by tak- ing a trip. They spent two weeks during the summer touring France and England. Once again, county govern- ment day was held at which sev- enteen juniors were present from Neumann. They participated in a mock trial and learned the system of law, and went into the different offices in the Saunders County court house. In the 1977-78 band program there were 16 juniors which took part in marching and concert band. Jodi Bartek, as majorette, led the marching band on to supe- rior ratings at contests.

Under the sponsorship of Ms. Sue Redlin and Ms. Sheila O'Brien, they successfully raffled off a hog in which a $400.00 profit was made. This year's band consisted of 22 sophomores, with the partici- pation of two flag girls Mary Lanik and Maggie Sullivan. Sophomores were also active in pep club and various boys’ and girls’ sports. Marla Jansa showed her athle- tic ability by breaking her record in the 220 yard dash and tieing her record in the 100 yard dash at the district track meet. This qualified Marla for the state track meet in North Platte on May 12. As a Neumann tradition, eight sophomore boys and girls were elected Prom servers by the ju- nior class. Dressed as Raggedy Ann and Andy, they served at the prom banquet and performed a skit, telling of the seniors' dreams. At the pep club sponsored Hobo Day, sophomores Susan Steinbach and Dave Snelling, cho- sen by their classmates as candi- dates, were crowned king and queen at the Hobo Day sockhop.

On August 22, 1977 the Student Council spon- sored their first day of high school by acquainting them with the teachers, the classrooms, and fa- cilities. The activities planned by their class included sock hops and bake sales. In the Tree of Lights campaign they earned third place by collecting $64.10. The freshmen in Fine Arts and Art I classes had field trips to Lin- coln, Omaha, and Wayne State College to broaden their perspec- tives. In the speech department, Nora Bergwell placed fourth in the Conference and received an excellent in the district meet. Barb Meduna placed third in the Conference, received a superior in the district meet and went to the State Contest in Kearney.

We'd realize then that the time used learning was all well spent. -John Gillette l. a Contributions buy transportation Four thousand dollars, raised by Neumann Student Council in a bike-a-thon, was presented to the Rev. John McCabe to be used in the purchase of a fifteen pas- senger van. Patron contributions, money from the Booster Club and band parents, plus the sale of three old buses, aided in the pur- chasing of two fifty-four passen- ger buses used to transport ap- proximately 150 students each day. In its second year of existence, the School Board has established a new excuse policy system which was put into effect this year. It required the student's parent to call the school on the day of the absence. The budget and admin- istrative policies were also con- trolled by the Board. Composing the administrative staff this year were the Rev. John McCabe, superintendent. Mr. Thomas Behounek, principal, the Rev. Philip Rauth, guidance coun- selor, and Mr. Wayne Reeves, ath- letic director. To begin the school day, Mr. Thomas Behounek announces important school events.

Stephen Cooney formed the Reli- gion department for the 1977-78 school year. Sr. Clare, who served as chairman for the de- partment, stated, “Our goal is to give the students a deeper appre- ciation of their faith.” The seniors, instructed by Fr. McCabe, strengthened their faith and studied the values necessary for Christian marriage. Sr. Clare taught junior and freshman religion. Under her tu- telage the juniors became more aware of the bases on which their own morality is formed and they gained an appreciation for their Catholic heritage. The freshmen studied the importance and meaning of prayer and the events in the life of Jesus while he was on earth. Taught by Fr. Cooney, the sophomores studied the Scrip- tures and their relevance to life today and the significance of the Sacraments. Department projects included a morning prayer which began each day, a panel discussion on voca- tions, and Christmas and Easter penance services held at St. Wen- ceslaus Catholic Church in Wa- hoo. Members of the faculty and student body gather to celebrate the Thanksgiving mass being given by Fr. Philip Rauth. Upper left, Barb Wonka listens as Fr.

In addition to learning language structure, the classes explored foreign customs, cur- rent events and a brief sketch of French geography. First year French classes stud- ied from Son et sens textbook. The supplementary magazine, Bonjour. played a major role in classtimes as it portrayed the dai- ly life of a student in France. Those students enrolled in French II used the textbook Scenes et sejours. Ca va, the monthly magazine for the stu- dents, supplied entertaining and informative reading, comic strips, and crossword puzzles. Students were treated to a Baba au rhum cake bake by Mr. Sill. Several former and present French I and II students partici- pated in a 14-day excursion to Eu- rope. They flew to New York and from there to London for three days and to Paris, Brittany, and Chateaux Country for the remain- ing days of foreign study and sightseeing. Mr. Sill displays the beauty of France by hanging a colorful poster of the Eiffel Tower.

Students were aided by flash- cards, three dimensional tic-tac- toe, crossword puzzles and other games to help develop various nu- merical skills. Using transparencies on the overhead projector, Mr. Ed John- son illustrated graphs and a three-dimensional axis to his ge- ometry students. Advanced Alge- bra students, under his instruc- tion, learned modern algebra and trigonometry formulas, and axi- oms. Twenty senior students in the business math class were taught by Mr. Wayne Reeves. They learned about percentages used in finding prices on sale items, fig- uring interest rates on bank loans and mortages, and income tax rates. Colleen Noonan, Teri Shanahan. Peggy Polacek and Patti York give their attention to an explanation of geometrical proofs.

Em- phacized areas of which would be useful to the student in his daily life were first-aid and consumer- ism. This class was taught by Ms. Mary Lu Sydik who also taught chemistry and physics. The I.P.S. class directed by Sr. Marie Alice Ostry N.D. also stud- ied for the future. They learned to acquaint principles involving mat- ter and to use the scientific meth- od as a means of problem solving. In addition, Sr. Marie Alice taught advanced biology and biology. Health was again taught by Ms. Darlene Thole. The class studied the physical and social aspects of hygiene.

They started the day by taking oath of office and then took part in a mock trial. Later that afternoon each junior was assigned to an of- fice where he spent the remain- der of the day learning about the duties done in each specific of- fice. Mr. Wayne Reeves instructed the juniors in American history. They traced the development of the United States from its con- ception through the 1960’s. Freshmen world geography stu- dents spent much of the year with booklets on various countries. They also took part in games and races to review geographic terms and facts. Guest lecturers were invited to come in and speak to the classes about the country they represented. Seniors spent the first semes- ter studying U.S. government. During this time they did maga- zine abstracts to inform them of current events and day-to-day government. During the second semester two courses were taught. The class alternated soci- ology and anthropology each quarter. The sociology class did projects such as role playing, watched films pertaining to differ- ent cultures, and other related projects. The anthropology class studied cultural drawings, had guest speakers, field trips, and saw many films tracing the devel- opment of man. Sister Anita Rolenc N.D. emphatically stresses the importance of under- standing social behavior. Paging through a magazine.

It was hoped that skills learned in the business de- partment could assist them in their chosen vocations. Two additions to the business department this year were office practice and shorthand. Students in office practice learned skills such as typing business letters, transcribing from the dictaphone, Several beginning typing students await the signal to begin a timed writing exercise. Ms. Sheila O'Brien offers help to Tom Konecky while Denyse Morton, Diane Koranda and Kathy Noonan try working the bookkeeping problem by themselves. duplication, operating adding ma- chines and calculators, and the proper way to seek employment. Students enrolled in shorthand began by learning the symbols and characters of the shorthand system. Later they built up skills and speed. Also included was typ- ing which was designed not only to help the students develop skill on the keyboard but also to build speed and accuracy. Bookkeeping was offered to teach the basic principles of ac- counting. The students learned the steps in the accounting cycle and applied them to a business operation through simulation. They learned these steps by fol- lowing examples in their books and carried them out through ex- ercises. Ms. O'Brien hoped to help students achieve a better un- derstanding of what it is like in the real business world. 46 After reading one of the problems in her assignment, Kathy Wonka ponders upon possible responses. RaNae Polacek requests help from Ms. Sheila O'Brien while other classmates, Michele Keane, Karen Pacula. and Cindy Albin type new songbooks. During her free time. Lynette Matulka lends a hand in the office to earn extra-credit for office practice. 47 Band produces clean sweep Band history was made as the maroon and gold marching ma- chine produced its first clean sweep of the major marching con- tests. The band earned superior ratings at the Plattsmouth, Wisner, and Pershing contests. Under the direction of Mr. John Ulrich and student teacher, Mr. Rob Hartung, the Cavalier band appeared at the Shrine Bowl and Saunders County and State Fair parades. They also presented halftime shows at two home foot- ball games and at the semi-finals of the Class C-l state football play-offs. Members of the band council were: Jackie Kavan, president; Doug Lynch, vice-president; Mary Egr, secretary-treasurer; Peg Po- lacek, sophomore rep.; Tim Wese- ly, freshmen rep.; and Jodi Bar- tek, drum majorette. i The band forms a circle as one of the many drills done during field marching season. Demonstrating precision and style.

Drum majorette, Jodi Bartek. leads the band down the field after the step-off. 49 Concerts highlight season Concerts, guest performances, and workshops highlighted the concert band season. The Neu- mann High School band present- ed the pops, winter and spring concerts, featuring classical, pop- ular and show tune selections. A guest performance by the Wahoo Woodwind Quintet from the East- man School of Music in New York was presented in March. The quintet is named after composer- director Dr. Howard Hanson, a Wahoo native. A repair workshop and a flute, clarinet and saxophone clinic were presented by faculty mem- bers from the University of Ne- braska, Department of Music. Techniques, instrument care and individual problems were dis- cussed and worked on during this experience.

Performing for the class are the members of the triple trio: Michele Keane, Mary Egr, Connie Nemec. Marge Malm, Janet Sloup, Karen Popken, Joyce Snitily. Roxane Skoda, and Denyse Morton. Ms. Sue Redlin directs the mixed chorus in a practice session preparing them for their Christmas Vespers concert. Chorus lends expression A new department was brought to the school, taught by Ms. Sue Redlin. Chorus gave attention to concerts, voice lessons, contests, mixed chorus, and triple trio. Much development was needed in expression and voice leadership. Christmas Vespers was held December 18 when mixed chorus brought out the religious meaning of Christmas with songs and Bible readings. The rest of the year was devoted to a choral clinic and mu- sic contest held in spring with competition from all the confer- ence schools. Mrs. Jane Johnson plays a new piece of music for the class as Ms. Sue Redlin looks on. 52 Fine arts required Students not involved in band, chorus, drama, or art were re- quired to sign up for a course in fine arts. Each quarter was devot- ed to one of the different depart- ments. Mr. John Ulrich taught the class the physics of sound and music history during the first quarter. Drama was covered by Ms. Mary- lou Wirth in the second quarter emphasizing stage movement and use of the voice. In the third quarter class, with Mr. Herm Rauth, discussions and films were viewed on Greek art and famous artists. Ms. Sue Redlin instructed the students in music analysis and liturgy of church music last quar- ter. It was hoped that students in- volved in this course would sign up the next year for a course in the arts. Each department cov- ered enough material on the sub- ject to give the student a general background of that area. Many who took the class commented that they were interested in tak- ing a subject in the arts thanks to their experience in this course. Searching for its theme, Margaret Sousek reads lines from a play in her fine arts class of drama. Andy Shandera assists Mr. John Ulrich in repairing the wires leading to the headphones. 53 Kelly Shanahan as Peirot and Maggie Sullivan as Columbine toast to life in the play, Aria da Capo. The technique is actually very simple. explains Karen Popken as she delivers an informative speech in Ms. Wirth’s speech II class. Remember people, directs Ms. Wirth to Steve Polacek, your speeches must be persuasive or based on a timely topic. Speech uses role playing Students in Speech I this year employed role playing and be- came authors of journals that aid in the understanding of our lan- guage. They ended the semester by giving an informative speech on a topic of their choice. Speech II students were busy participating in the conference and district speech contests. Se- lected speech II students pre- pared the weekly Cavalier Broad- casting reports. Drama students put their stud- ies to use by assisting with the fall play. Capping off the year, the one-act play from Neumann went to the conference one-act play contest at Paul VI and came home with top honors for best play. The cast of Aria da Capo” consisted of: Kelly Shanahan, Maggie Sullivan, Mike Murren, Mike Carroll, and John Polivka, with Ms. MaryLou Wirth as direc- tor. “Your arms should be extended like this, states Ms. Wirth as she relates the mean- ing of a gesture to John Polivka. Trying to explain what a lemon tastes like, Joann Ludvik, with a sack over her head uses body gestures during her speech. 55 Art dept undergoes changes Art instructor, Mr. Herm Rauth experimented with a new idea this year. His class of nine spent the year working in the course or courses that most appealed to them or which they felt would benefit in later endeavors. Draw- ing, silk screen process, and a new course, batiking, which is the art of dying cloth, were given first priorities. The art students also spent some time constructing mobiles which were put on dis- play in the art room. Various awards were given to the stu- dents for their efforts. Five win- ners were announced by the Catholic Daughters of America. Nan Coffield won first place, Re- nee Masek won second place, and Linda Stuchlik won third place in the second division, while Marga- ret Malm won first place, and Peg- gy Kucera won second place in the third division. The art class went on various art trips during the year. Mr. Rauth took the art I, II, and II students to Kearney State College to view their art de- partment and to study the stu- dents' work. The introduction to fine arts students traveled to Lin- coln to see an art show at Bran- deis, displaying various art forms. Connie Meduna seems to enjoy the results that she is getting by mixing colors together to get a unique hue for her water color painting.

IV course. Mr. Moeller assisted Mr. Herm Rauth in I.A. I and took charge of I.A. Ill and IV. The first semester, I.A. I stu- dents learned about the basics of drafting and undertook hand tool projects during the second se- mester. Under the tutelage of Mr. Herm Rauth, I.A. II students learned to apply safety habits while using power tools. Members of I.A. Ill advanced previously learned skills and used them to complete power tool projects which included bookracks, cedar chests, and tables. Those in I.A. IV accepted responsibility for var- ious projects which included small engine repair, shop improvement, metal working, welding, and elec- trical wiring. They also had the option of restoring dilapidated an- tiques. One of the outstanding projects for the year was the completion of a balance beam used in the girl's P.E. class.

The courses strived for sufficient knowledge of the sport. In the personal defense unit, girls were instructed in pre- ventive measures. In addition to actual practice, the girls attended lectures and took part in discus- sions on topics confronting wom- en in our society today. The freshman, sophomore, and junior girls participated in soccer, speedball, basketball, bowling, roller skating, hockey and gym- nastics under the direction of Ms. Darlene Thole. Mr. Robert Brandt instructed the freshmen, sophomore, and junior boys in flag football, soc- cer, speedball, hockey, basket- ball, golf, tumbling, wrestling, bowling, and softball.

Coach Darlene Thole commented, “As a whole, the girls played good defense, but the individual offense hurt us.” The basketball team consisting of fifteen team members, con- tained two returning starters from last year, and two additional returning lettermen. During the game against Yutan, February 7, the girls held a par- ent’s night. This was held in honor of the parents for the support giv- en by them throughout the sea- son. The girls were introduced along with their parents and each presented a corsage to their mother. Renae Nelson and Marge Malm received honorable mention from the Wahoo Newspaper. Janet Otte received an all-area second team award, and Rose Carroll re- ceived honorable mention. The reserve girls managed to hold a 7-4 season record.

Six seniors led the way to a seventh place finish in the district meet held at North Bend. There were fifteen teams attending this meet. The dual record was two wins and two losses, having victo- ries over Scribner and Geneva, and losing to Waverly and North Bend. The highest finish in a ma- jor meet was at the Wilber Invita- tional. The team placed fourth out of seven teams and had a total of twenty-eight points. They didn’t achieve any broken records, but one of them was tied. The efforts this season were very good. The weather was the most dominate force, giving up only two good days for meets, which were Conference and Dis- tricts. Many younger faces sur- faced as the season progressed, giving the team additional hope for the future track seasons. 1'. y-vss� .., . .__________ SCOREBOARD Duals Scribner first Geneva first Waverly second North Bend second North Bend Triangular second Invitationals Boys Town eighteenth Tekamah sixteenth Wilbur fourth Oakland twelvth Schuyler eighteenth West Point eleventh Centennial Conference eighth Districts seventh The 1978 boy’s track team members are: Back row: Assistant Coach.
