Neumann offers retreats Several kinds of retreats were available to the students this year. On March 31, an entire school day was put aside for class retreats. The seniors went to St. James, Mead to learn about the guiding light. The juniors spent their day at Sts. Mary and Joseph in Valparaiso, analyzing the relationship with God, and looking on Jesus as a friend. The sophomores dealt with loving rela- tionships at St. Joseph's in Colon, while the freshmen discussed togeth- erness, at St. Wenceslaus in Wahoo. Almost all of the seniors, and a few juniors attended a TEC (Teens Encounter Christ) week-end where teens encounter Christ in the word, in the Liturgy, and in each other. The retreat was a time for learning, sharing, giving, opening up to others, and loving God and others. The retreat included group discussion and participation, chapel visits, sharing in the Eucharist and taking part in the Sacrament of Reconcilia- tion. TEC was a chance to discover self and Christ. Smiling in anticipation of the upcoming week-end Patty Murren and Lonnie Mahrt tote their luggage into the TEC center. Taking a recreation break during their class retreat in Colon are sophomores Ann Fujan, Mary Furasek, Joyce Meduna, and Alice Benes.

Five committees were set up by junior class sponsors Miss Jeanne Owens, Mrs. Sheri Meduna and Miss Sue Hansen. These included the decora- tion, mass, invitation, name card, and memory book committees. The April 24 event began at 6 p.m. with a mass at St. John’s Catholic Church in Weston. Fr. Paul York was the celebrant. After the mass, the banquet and dance were held at Maresh's Ball- room. Maresh's catered the meal and it was served by prom servers Randy Ahrens, Becky Kralik, Todd Jansa, Ann Vasa, Mike Osmera, and Sue Dostal. After dinner, a welcome was given by junior class president Marilee Ludvik. Miss Marylou Wirth awarded gifts to the senior class from the faculty in her speech. However, because of the state of the economy the gifts had to be I.O.U.'s. Junior Mike Dostal presented wills for the class of 82 . The prom servers ended the banquet with the presenta- tion of their skit. A dance followed with the band Legend providing the music. At 11:00 p.m. a grand march of the seniors and their dates were in- troduced. 1982 Prom Royalty. BACK ROW: 1981 King, Larry Pospisil; First Attendant to the Queen.
