The Neumann line defense crashes helmets with Mount Michael in a reserve football game while Chuck Vesely punts the ball. Todd Morrissey, Don Vasa, and Marilee Ludvik laugh hysterically over Don's joke but Linda Walla seems like she doesn’t get it. FAR RIGHT: Twirling strands of spaghetti, Pam Konecky seems pleased with her order. Pam and the rest of the Student Council spend an evening at the Spaghetti Works in Omaha. 4 Opening

Girls' Triple Trio members Nancy Chapek. Cidny Bauer, Marian Meduna and Colleen Shanahan await to receive their cards for receiving a Superior rating at District Music Contest while Mrs. Carrie Helmink presents one to Betty Vasa at the annual Music Awards Banquet. Greg Chapek and Kae Woita, a common pair, settle back on the bleachers during a basketball game to discuss their plans for the week-end.

Patty Murren scans her schedule to tell Kathy Hohl which mods she is free in the afternoon while Anne Vasa and Julie Otte come to meet them. “Harley-Man Don Vasa shows that boots, black leather, shades, and a Harley- Davidson motorcycle undoubtedly make one cool! Gazing back shows changes Gazing at the past by means of first-hand information, television shows, and yearbooks showed evident changes between the '60’s and the '80's. We compared events gaining national attention, fashions, primary concerns, and activities of people. Events highly publicized in the '60’s included the assasinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King. The Vietnam War was another major issue. Beatlemania” had hit the country and thousand of teens had caught it. While older people were a bit skeptical about their fanaticism, they were more concerned about the rise of “hippees who were into drugs, amplified music, and spiri- tualism. Launchings of Apollo space- craft and the first successful moon walk highlighted the news media. Fashions of the '60’s were simply marvy ! Skirts rose to mini , hair was long and straight, socks were white, and shoes were flat. In the later '60 s psychedelic colors were splashed on to flare- legged hip-huggers and necklaces bearing signs of peace and “love” were in”. The marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, the Falkland Island crisis, and travels of Pope John Paul II appeared in living color on the t.v. in 1982. Part of President Reagan's budget plan in 82 included cutting financial aid funds for students attending college. Hitting the fashion pages of Seventeen magazine were knickers, emblem shirts, nautical look, prairie look, headbands, and, believe-it-or-not, mini-skirts! All the fashions, though, were not very readily accepted by all Neumann students. Gaining momentum was the not-so-new idea of being physically fit. Joggers hit the pavement, hou- sewives tuned in to Richard Sim- mons’ exercise show, and warnings about the danger of too much salt and cholesterol in the diet were given. Directly and indirectly all the changes around the world affected Neumann. Courses, fashions, inter- ests, and behavior showed signs of the world's CHANGING PATTERNS. Opening 5
