Workshops inspire council Ideas gleaned from student council workshops inspired George Ludvik, president of the Neumann Student Council, to sponsor monthly noon activities. Students involved themselves in such recreations as a free throw contest, a paper plane contest, and a Simon says, contest. The student council also spon- sored the peanut store, as it had in past years, using the profits from the sale of peanuts, chips, nature foods, etc. to purchase articles for the video tape machine. Other projects the council sponsored included tours and activities for future freshmen, and a thank-you day for the cooks, during which each of them was given a bouquet of flowers. At the end of the year, the student council sponsored the an- nual student council-faculty picnic at Pioneer Park in Lincoln. Special guests were next year's officers. Student Council Representative Kaye Bartek counts the money that many students willingly put out just for the privilege of wearing jeans on Jean Day. At the student council faculty picnic at Pioneer Park, Bev Dostal serves up hot dogs to Bonnie Walla, Mr. Tim Turman and Kaye Bartek. Student Council 29

Cavalog takes state Class B Shouts of excitement were heard from the varsity staff as the 1980 Cavalog, High Energy, was announced the winner in Class B competition at the Nebraska High School Press Association Conven- tion. Later, in October, word was received that the book had merited a first place award from Columbia Scholastic Press Association of New York. 1981 Cavalog co-editors Andy Shandera and Sheri Swartz attended a summer journalism workshop at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. The latest trends in layout design were discussed, and a mini-course in copy writing and theme develop- ment was held. Advisor Mr. Jeff Sill attended sessions in yearbook fi- nancing and a discussion group on dealing with the yearbook staff. They and the entire yearbook staff attend- ed the J-Day, sponsored by Midland College in September. During a break at Midland college's J-Day, Bob Walla relaxes under a tree and pages through one of the yearbooks on display.

 Blue Hawaii costs hundreds Requests for extra money and pay advances were heard by parents and employers as prom night, April 25, approached. Much money was spent on dresses, tuxedos and other incidentals by the couples attending. The profits from selling an all-purpose cleaner, raffling a hog, washing cars, and gleaning corn fields amounted to nearly $1500. From these funds, the juniors created a Blue Hawaiian Paradise. A 6 P.M. mass at St. Joseph's Church in Colon began the evening. At the banquet, which was held in the parish hall, the guests were served by 18 sophomore servers dressed in bright costumes. The food had been prepared by junior class members' mothers who had come early in the afternoon to work in the kitchen. After speeches and a short skit, attention was focused on a dance in the Neumann gym. The Junior Blues played, as those attending danced or sat listening and sipping punch in a tropical paradise of palm trees, native huts and tranquil blue waters. Following the grand march, Larry Pospisil and Laurie Martin were crowned the 1981 Prom king and queen. First attendants were Gerald Osmera and Kathy Hannan. Crown- ing the king and queen were 1980 Queen Peggy Polacek and First Attendant to the King Mike Murren. The early morning hours after the dance saw some of those attending breakfasts hosted by par- ents, others eating out at area restaurants and some simply return- ing home to collapse after a tiring day. UPPER RIGHT: Working together to prepare the meal for the hungry prom guests are: Mrs. Alice Patocka, Mrs. Helen Swartz, Mrs. Eileen Mongar and Mrs. Margaret Fujan. Checking to see what is next on the menu, Brian Kucera and his date Gail Patrick wait with anticipation for the upcoming meal. 30 Prom
