Superintendent Fr. John McCabe often said, “This school is for you. Your parents, your grand- parents and people from the ten parishes sacrifice money and time to support this school. It is unusual that students at a private school would not have to pay tuition. That is the case at Neumann High School. To support this system the parish pastors have the responsibility of collecting the money which went into making the budget. Some support also came from the Lincoln Diocesan Office of Education. Because so much was given by supporters of the school, much pride was taken in making our system work. Many hours of volunteer service were given by adults from the community. They typed records, newsletters, and other materials and worked in the school library. Booster club men reinforced the gymnasium bleachers. Opening 1 More in store for you There was more for the 186 students and 23 teachers, as the 1982-1983 school year opened on August 25. The self-study evaluated the school's programs and found a need for another vocational course. Home Ec. Two semesters courses were in Home Economics were added to the curriculum. A chance for students to get to know each other better was of- fered. PEER (Positive Educational Experiences in Relationships) brought students together to help them- selves and one another. Group discussions allowed the members to express their feelings on subjects to others and get others opinions back on them. It helped them develop morals and values by weighing their actions against the judgement of their peers. One of the greatest rewards of a PEER group was often emotional. Members often helped one another through a hard time at home, in a relationship, or just the blues. 2 Opening Search and Seizure” was the topic of discussion between Corp. Owen Einsbarr.

Opening 3 Student life Activities eliminate boredeom School is boring with out getting involved. Special moments in activities play an important role in the develop- ing drama of a school year. Most people claim that activi- ties are just as important as academics, and a lot more fun! There was no lack of activities in the school year, or even beyod the 3:15 p m. bell, 4 Student life Charlie Noonan cheers the boys' basketball team to victory In the first round of play of the boys' Districts at Waterloo.

Get on the phone and ask your favorite person to a dance, see a musical or listen to a concert. Be school spirited, dress up, cheer, sing, laugh, and cry. School can be fun if you're too busy to notice being bored to death. Get involved and use your invol- vement to discover yourself and others. There's more for you than meets the eye. The lifestyles of Neumann students weren't defined by anyset rules of traditions. Their lifestyles were a cluster of happenings. All of us will look back on high school's happen- ings with feelings of nostalgia, remembering everything that happened and exaggerating a little. The way you are today and who you'll become are captured on the pages of student life. Shared events and moments were important to us all while attending Bishop Neumann High School.

Then it's lights off and snooze time. Before After School 7 Entertainment comes in many forms at NHS Amid the sounds of slamming locker doors and dropping books, students were heard making their evening entertainment plans. Athle- tic events, concerts, movies or just 'hanging out' were all part of the plans. Concerts were a favorite form of entertainment for many students. Some of the big concerts this year included Journey, Air Supply, REO Speed wagon and Rick Springfield. The opportunity to see a favorite entertainer or musical group some- times found students standing in long lines for hours on end, just to obtain tickets. The chance to catch a new movie was also popular. Fremont, Lincoln and Omaha theaters were favorite spots. Popular shows during the year included 48 Hours. The Outsiders and An Officer and a Gentleman. Ron Koranda said, It's a great way to unwind and forget about school. And besides, the discount hour show makes it cheap. Some preferred not to leave town. They chose to cruise the streets of Wahoo. They drove through town whipping through the Neumann parking lot and going back up Linden to the Super-Valu parking lot, looking for friends who may be listening to cranked up stereos and shooting the breeze. 8 Entertainment The opening day of the long awaited final episode of the Star Wars series.

These were frequently heard statements mod 6 in classrooms and halls. During the 25 minute lunch mod one could see many of the dieters eating salads provided by the school, celery and carrot sticks brought from home, granola bars, diet pop bought before school, and some who didn't eat at all sitting in the gym or outside to get away from the appetizing food odors. When asked why they were dieting. Lore Houska replied, So I can fit into my jeans this weekend, Jeanne Christensen said, I want to 10 Cafeteria hits cafeteria be able to wear my swimsuit by the Fourth of July and a junior who asked not to be identified said, So I can catch the eye of a special someone. Some tried nationally known diets. A number of students tried out the Mayo Clinic diet and the Scarsdale diet. Some just tried to keep themselves under a certain calorie limit. Quite often one could see some of these dieters riding their bikes or jogging around town to firm up their bodies. A few even dared to try out jazzercise and aerobics classes.

To add to the excitement, a pep-rally and a skit was held on Friday in order to spread the spirit of homecoming. Expectations were high at the beginning of the Neumann - Paul VI ’ game while Cavalier football fans scrunched together on the stands filled with the smell of popcorn, red and yellow balloons and people. The crowd anxiously waited for the halftime performance of the Drill Team doing a routine to the Can-Can. At last the Cavaliers were cheered on to a 36-0 victory over the Hawks. After the game, rows of couples lined up at the entrance of the gym as they walked into the Cavalier Corrall which designated the theme for the evening. Shadowy figures danced to the music of Richard Todd and the crowning of the 1982 Homecoming King and Queen added a fitting end to the evening and to an event-filled week.

When the points were totalled, it showed the win was by a mere point. Four of Neumann's twenty competitors qualified for participation in the state meet at Kearney, April 6. All of the four received excellents at state. The fall musical, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown by Charles Schulz was made up of an inexper- ienced cast. Three out of the six cast members made their debut during the November 19, 20, and 21 performances. The cast of six practiced every evening for at least two hours and often longer for a month and a half before the opening performance. During the school day, the members of the cast often practiced their songs with Mrs. Kathy Vondracek. UPPER LEFT: Connie Polacek practices her speech for the State Speech Meet for her coach.

In October they traveled to the Care Center and Haven House dressed in Hal- loween costumes and they collect- ed food for people in need in November. Valentines were passed out to the students and faculty in February and in May they handed out May baskets to shut-ins and gave gifts to the students in homerooms. Sponsor for CAG was Sister Corona Humpal N.D. FCA got under way this year with meetings held at members' homes. Discussions on God and friendships were the main topics of these meetings. Girls FCA sponsored a Valentine Dance in February while the boys visited the children at Villa Marie in Waverly. FCA parents night, held in May, consisted of game playing. Mass, and group discussions involving parents, students, and faculty. Sponsors for FCA were Miss Mary Sydik and Mr. Ed Johnson.

Pep Club raises I'm a Cavalier Fan was the logo found on the spirit buttons sold by the pep club to raise money. This money was used to help the cheerleaders finance their summer camp in Lincoln. The cheerleaders also attended a clinic at Pius X High School in Lincoln. The clinic involved twelve Lincoln area schools. At the end of the day, the new skills learned were put to use in the competition. The Pep Club worked hard tc raise the school spirit. Special pep rallies boosted the morales of the school spirit athletes performing in big games. Students dressed in overalls and plaid shirts acted out a skit involving Hee Haw characters to parallel the homecoming theme of Cavalier Corral. A Bohemian pep rally involving the senior girls dressed in babouskas and flowered dresses provided everyone with a good laugh. Prior to the boys' District basketball game fathers and mothers of the senior players dressed as cheerleaders to make the event a memorable one. 18 Pep Club Student Council attends workshops Blair, Nebraska was the site of the summer Student Council work- shop which began their 1982-83 school year. The Student Council's busy schedule then found them at the State Convention in Columbus. Besides sponsoring the peanut store the Student Council sponsored monthly assemblies. The funds raised from the peanut store went toward the purchase of a portable video cassette recorder for the school. Some of the assemblies provided entertainment and others had educational topics. Another of the Student Coun- cil's endeavors was the dedication of a Time Capsule. Student Council President Todd Morrissey presided at the dedication. When the capsule opened in ten years, the items enclosed will be examined to note changes that have occured in our culture. Such things as clothing styles, hairstyles and musical trends will be examined. On March 16, the Student Council hosted the future freshmen. After a morning greeting from Superintendent Father John McCabe, a series of activities were held to acquaint them with one another and build a spirit of unity. The remainder of the day was spent visiting classrooms, taking place- ment exams and registering for classes. The cheerleaders do a mount to Reaching Up TOP TO BOTTOM are Kathy Hohl. Teresa Polacek.

Junior Senior Prom plans begin early Plans for the 1983 Prom began early for the junior class. In Sep- tember they sold candy and in January and February two raffles were held to help them come up with the money for this years Prom. 'An Evening in Paris'. Excitement for the upcoming event was evident. Some students were pushed for time because they had spent the morn- ing at contest. Others spent their time picking up flowers, primping hair, getting tuxes, and washing cars. On April 23 the evening began with a Mass at St. Johns, Weston. Fr. Doug Fuller was celebrant and Fr. Richard Deonise was homolist. Fol- lowing Mass, everyone rushed back to Wahoo for the banquet and dance held at the Wahoo Eagles Club. Upon entering, each couple was greeted by the Prom Servers, dressed as French maitre d's and French maids, and escorted to their seats for the meal and speeches. An after dinner welcome was given by Junior Class President Mike Osmera, followed by a toast to the faculty given by Deb Kaday. Re- sponse was given by Mr. Paul Johnson. Randy Ahrens gave a toast to the seniors and Fr. Richard Deonise gave the response. A dance followed with music supplied by Visions. At 11:00 P.M. the 1983 Prom Royalty were announced.

Unknowingly, this special day had begun for them months before. The measuring for caps and gowns, ordering of announcements and signing of memory books all fed the growing excitement of the special something that was going to hap- pen At 1:30 PM the seniors began to arrive excited and expectant, gowns on hangers held high. They milled with friends, posed for snap- shots, and finally made their way to their place in line for the procession. Jittery legs and butterflies in the stomach accompanied them.

Hamlet's soliloquy, a shared prayer, the rythmic clatter of the typewriter, the rise of a plea for lecture notes, or laughter from the speech class. These are from the simple everyday scenes of the students in class. Sometimes projects took place away from classroom. It was a ploy used by teachers to keep students beyond the 8:18 - 3:15 school day. They might include a field trip, a workshop or a special get together over dinner. Everyone has had the experience of a classroom, some good, some bad. Teachers become enemy or friend depending on the day's assignment or the students' preparedness. Teachers taught more than just subject matter. They taught respon- sibility, how to get along with others, and independence. Teachers and their classes gave students a chance to prepare for the future and that's more than most of them realized.

Many long hours were spent before, during and after school in preparation for concerts and contests throughout the year. Singing and dancing under the direction of Mrs. Kathy Vondracek. the Swing Choir entertained at several places, such as the Saunders County Care Center and the Haven House. Another select choral group, the girls Triple Trio, also entertained the elderly residents of the city. Frozen fingers and wet feet were every day occurances during early morning marching band rehersals. Mr. Bill Reece lead the band through several football half-time shows, as well as the contests at Plattsmoth and Pershing. Jazz and swing tunes set the tone for the Stage Band. The group performed at concerts and contest. They also provided live entertainment for the Saunders County Office for the Mentally Retarded (SCOMR) spring dance. Several students were chosen to attend special groups. Representing the choir at All-State, Hastings and Doane was Marilee Ludvik. Jennifer Bartunek was selected for the All-State, Hastings, Wesleyan, and with Connie Polacek, the UNO honor bands. Singing at Wesleyan was Deb Kadavy, and joining Ludvik at Doane were Colleen Shanahan and Paula Meduna. Tekamah-Herman was the site for District Music Contest on April 22 and 23.

Sophomores worked with frogs, fish and insects, while seniors worked with cow hearts and brains. Miss Mary Sydik taught chemistry and physics. These classes tested knowledge in such fields as matter and equilibrium. Health, introduction to physical science and prac- tical science were offered for the less serious science students. Areas covered ranged from mental and physical well being to the types of clouds. Theorums and proofs became everyday words in Mr. Ed Johnson's geometry classes. Ten seniors were enrolled in math analysis which dealt with calculus. Sister Coron- a Humpal, N.D. taught the class, as well as math II and algebra I. Learning percentages, income tax figuring and interest rates were a few of the skills learned by seniors in Mr. Wayne Reeves' business math class. After learning basic key- board skills, typing students could move on to office practice. Taught by Mrs. Jeanne Havelka, students learned such things as office filing skills, memory typing and use of the dictaphone. Accounting journals and ledgers were the basis for senior bookeeping. Math Science Business 29 Basics come first Before furniture could be constructed and pottery turned, basic techniques had to be learned. I.A. I students learned the basic drafting techniques from Mr. Tim Turman. They drew plans of four different projects, then picked one they wanted to build. I.A. II students learned the basic safety rules of the power tools. Basic building techniques helped the I. A. Ill students when time came to work on the weightroom wall. Students in Mrs. Terri Johnson's art class heard many lectures on the ba- sics of art and its history. After all of the basics were learned, the fun began. The noise and whir of the tools could be heard throughout the school. Often someone would ask, What's all that banging from? The answer, Oh, that's just the I.A. boys working on the new wall. Art students were given assignments that let their creative ideas flow. Car- toons were drawn, record album covers produced. and pottery turned. The annual Art Show was dis- played at the spring choral concert. Wallhangings and leather work was designed to the tastes of the students in basic crafts. They learned methods for using the tools and how to raise the leather. Checking the surface of Bill Meduna's tool box, Mr. Tim Turman offers some advice.

Four different courses were offered. These in- cluded: introduction to home ec, adult living, child care, and housing. Introduction to home ec included learning how to groom oneself, personal hygiene, and the basics of sewing and weaving. It was a general requir- ement of freshmen and sophomores wishing to take home ec classes. Learning how to cope on the outside world, in- dependence, and how to plan one's own wedding were a part of adult living. A field trip was taken to Younkers, a department store in Omaha, to learn how to register for wed- dings and buy china, flowers, and wedding gowns. The development of the child was studied in child care. The students visited Mrs. Jill Johnson's pre- school. Housing included learn- ing about different styles of homes and how to make house plans. Busy beavers found in american literature American Literature students under the tutelage of Miss Marylou Wirth were busy beavers. They collaborat- ed to put together a Puritan newspaper while they studied the Puritan era. A little drama was brought in as they did some duet acting throughout the year to portray different works of literature. They also relived grade school days, with show and tell. Each sophomore brought an antique or heirloom from home and told about its history or legends. Highlights of freshman English with Sr. Michalene Prater, were reading the Martian Chronicles and doing various creative thinking activities when they studied Watership Down. The juniors read Great Expectations instead of Heart of Darkness due to a unanimous suggestion by last year's juniors. The seniors had Mr. Jeff Sill for grammar two days out of a 6 day cycle, with Miss Mary Sydik on the other four days. They learned of the wonders of World Literature instead of taking varied classes according to their interests as in years before. The French II class was the first to try out the new Advanced French textbooks and dictation tapes. Both French groups took a National French Exam for the first time to see how they ranked among other French students. Top finishers, Annette Vanek and Mike Polacek were 7th in state in their division. The French I and II students also satisfied a sweet tooth when Mr. Sill treated them to Swiss chocolate fondue. The Effective Writing students were working down to the last minute once again as the end of the school year neared.

Theologians examine sacred scripture A greater understanding of Sacred Scriptures and tradition of the Roman Catholic Church are the bases for faith and morality taught by the religion department. Religion teachers Fr. Richard Deon- ise, Sr. Christine Uerling M.S., Fr. Doug Fuller, Fr. John McCabe, and Fr. Pat O'Byrne were instructors for the philosophy. Freshmen, taught by Fr. Fuller, gained a better knowledge of Christ from the study of His life and teachings. Taught by Sr. Christine, sophomores learned about Christ in the scrip- tures and sacraments. Jun- iors became aware of the Church's responsibilities. As Fr. Doug Fuller reads the prayer, Dave Snltly follows along on his copy.

Fr. Deonise, Fr. O'Byrne, and Fr. McCabe each had 12 weeks to give a review of Catholic instruction to the seniors. Topics includ- ed theology, Christian marriage and a review of Catholic doctrine. Fr. Deonise was really scary at first, but after I got to know him, I learned a lot from him, said Todd Morrissey, a senior. He's a really cool guy. American government focused on government in today's society. The second semester the sen- iors acquainted them- selves with man's behavior in society. Five social prob- lems of our time-crime, ageing, cities and suburbs, environment and terrorism, were studied. Mr. Wayne Reeves' jun- iors in American History were acquainted with major historical events since the birth of our nation. Information gleaned from text books became more clear in Mr. Reeves' lectures and films. Eighth grade placement tests indicated the lack of knowledge of world events. World History was implemented, with Mr. Paul Johnson as teacher. It was felt that the study of world history would benefit students for future exams. Seniors Deb Kadavy, Dave Svoboda.

Many students agree with the ancient Greeks who believed that a healthy body is as important as a learned mind. In keeping with this belief, the number of par- ticipants in the sports program is great. Sports focused the efforts of individuals into the cooper- ation of a team. Talent and ability were important com- ponents of the efforts. But just as important were the quali- ties of perserverance, dedica- tion, and team support dis- played by the participants. Win or lose, athletics de- veloped the individual's po- tential athletically and social- ly. We often take athletics for granted; yet without them, many students would not have the opportunity to dis- play their abilities and compe- tiveness. Sports 39 Varsity Scoreboard def.

Lady Cavs capture districts Although the season ended on a sour note, the sweetness of a first District Championship by a girls' athletic team at Neumann was realized. The seven seniors on the team set a goal to win a tour- nament championship as freshmen after they recorded the first winning season by a freshman team and worked to reach their goal. The outstanding leadership of the seniors helped the team through winning and losing times. It was backed by the much improved play of the underclassmen. They thought they were good enough to win their district, but were not quite sure when district tournaments came around. Although the Lady Cavs lost their last two games in the confer- ence tournament to Omaha Cathe- dral and Omaha Mercy, Coach Sue Hansen said, it was the best volleyball they had played to that point.'' The Lady Cavs started districts off with victories over the Wahoo Warriorettes and the Brainard East Butler Tigers. This paved the way for the championship showdown with the 3 rated Bennington Badgers. The Lady Cavs started off the first set strong, held off a Bennington comeback and won the set. The team totally dominated the second set to win the match and the District Championship. Varsity Volleyball 41 Practices develop skills For some freshman and soph- omore girls, fall is a time for volleyball. The after school practices held every day developed team skills through setting and spiking drills dnd the girls gained the needed endurance by running laps around the gym. “The reserves made me very proud by breaking the school record with wins and only 1 loss, soid Coach Hansen. “Their strong point was cohesiveness, they were a good team. They were able to overcome mistakes and come from behind in a tough situation. For some of the freshman girls it was their first year with a team sport. They overcame their inexperience through hard practice under Coach Greg Hraban. After two early season losses, the girls improved enough to win three cruciol games.

Volleyball 43 Cavs miss out on play-offs After three years of hard work, sweat, and determination, fifteen seniors entered their final football season with high expectations — expectations that included the state play-offs and a possible state championship. Expectations almost became a reality when the Cavs at 5-3 entered the Raymond Central game. With an outside chance of making sfate, they had to beat Raymond Central, 8-0 and rated eighth in Class B. The game was a defensive battle. Raymond Central took an early 8-0 lead in the first quarter. With a new strategy. Coach Tim Turman's Cavaliers came storming out after halftime and scored on a long drive on their first possession. Tied 8-8, the game entered its fourth and final period. Late in the game, the Neumann defense held Central to a fourth- and-1 situation. Raymond Central faked a punt and drove for a touchdown, ending a three year dream. Coach Tim Turman was pleased with the season, saying that of the four losses, three were to state play-off qualifying teams, including Class B State Champion, Elkhorn Mt. Michael. In recording five wins by shut-outs, Turman said, We contin- ued to play the good, solid, aaaressive Neumann defense.

Practice emphasizes basics During the hot, humid month of August another season of football practice began. Special emphasis was placed on blocking techniques and game fundamentals. The fresh- man team was coached by Mr. Al Meduna and Mr. Mike Chavatal. The freshmen began their practices a week after the varsity got their practices underway. The freshmen played exceptionally well together; no one sat on the Dench. Everyone got a chance to play and anyone could come in and play for us. The kids did a great job, commented Coach Meduna. The Junior varsity had a limited season. Three games were can- celled because of rain and not rescheduled. Randy Ahrens scored all the points for the junior varsity squad. The juniors provided excellent leadership. Freshman Reserve Football 47 Harriers record first win A fall sport which made an upswing this year was Cross Country. The boys' team, made up of thirteen runners, had their best season in five years. They took home their first win at the quadrangular at David City Aquinas, and had several other placings. One of the harriers, freshman Cletus Reidel, tried out for and qualified for the National Junior Olympics Cross Country Meet in October. The meet was held in November in St. Louis, Missouri. There were not enough girls to form a team for competition, but the two girls who did compete had a successful year. Junior Sue Dostal and freshman Gina Simanek earned many ribbons and medals in compe- tition.

Lady Cavs overcome plague of hardships Many obstacles had to be overcome in route to a 13-5 record for the season. This record was the second best in school history. The team also set a record for the longest winning streak by winning the first seven games. Only one junior and no seniors participoted on the sophomore dominated team. Inexperience and lack of height plagued the team, but strong determination and speed all but made up for the weaknesses. Feeling the lack of experience, the team had a pessimistic attitude at the start of the season. Many of the early games were won by very close margins. After winning the North Bend Holiday Tournament, they realized there was potential for a good season. During the Centenial Confer- ence Tournament, the team suf- fered the loss of leading scorer Jeanne Osmera. There was much speculation among fans as to how the team would react, but the girls pulled together and filled the gap. Coach Sue Hansen felt the team played at their best near the end of the season. They won the last regular season game over Lincoln Pius X, and entered the District Tournament at Mead at 12-4, After winning the first round game against Yutan. the season ended with a loss to Bennington. In that game, the girls trailed by as many as 25 points. Proving they were no pushovers, they pulled within three before falling 39-45. Sophomore Angela Brabec summed up the season by saying, It was a growing experience, not only as a team but as individuals, too. 50 Varsity Girls Basketball Varsity Scoreboard 13-5 55 David City Aquinas OT 50 49 Fremont Bergan 43 58 Cedar Bluffs 34 73 Omaha Holy Name 41 45 Mead 45 North Bend Holiday Tournament 39 Scribner 36 47 North Bend OT 43 47 Columbus Scotus 53 Centenial Conference Tournament 44 David City Aquinas 38 43 Omaha Cathedral 52 44 Omaha Merc? 37 35 East Butler 45 44 Omaha Holy Name 43 41 Omaha Cathedral 64 33 Yutan 32 34 Lincoln Pius X 29 District 51 Yutan 42 39 Bennington 45 Closely guarded by two David City Aquinas players, Jeanne Osmera uses her inside shooting strength in attempting to score during the Conference Tournament.

Underclassmen played a big part of the season. According to the girls' basketball coach Sue Hansen. Because of it, many players received the op- portunity to gain playing time throughout the year. Drills performed during practices paid off. The girls showed their talents, starting out strong by winning their first five games. Rebounding was worked on maximized especially due to the teams, lack of height. During this season's basket- ball campaign special emphasis was put on the fundamentals of the game as well as dribbling and passing drills. said Sue Hansen. Junior Ann Vasa was voted most valuable player by her fellow teammates. Sophomore Jackie Fur- asek was voted most inspirational player. Donna Barry was a big help.

In the game, Joe Woita put forth a superb effort in scoring a career high of twenty-nine points. With a trip to state in their minds, Neumann faced Ashland, tenth rated in Class B, and lost in a disappointing game. After easy victories over East Butler and Waterloo in the opening rounds in District Tourney, Neumann came up short again. Down by two at the half, the Cavs were unable to put together a sustained drive against Mead to make a comeback. Selected to play in the Fremont All Area All Star Game were Greg Chapek and Joe Woita.

Later in the year, Doug Bohac injured his hand and was out for the season. Three freshman come off the bench to fill in for the injured juniors. When the team worked together, they beat some good teams. In the Boystown game, freethrows by Paul Hattan helped the team past the larger Cow- boys; Against Fremont Bergan, the team showed their ability to play defense by holding the Knights scoreless to overcome a ten point deficit in the fourth quarter. The Cavs JV outscored the Knights, 16-0. Coming back from a large loss to Omaha Paul VI, the freshman battled Omaha Cathedral to one point before losing. They then squeaked out a one point victory over rival David City Aquinas. In the freshman tournament at Columbus Scotus, the team placed third. A loss to David City Aquinas matched the freshman against Fremont Bergan. The victory over Bergan captured the third place trophy for the team. Boys' basketball 57 Individuals push team ahead What was it like to train on a team, yet compete individually? Ask a member of the Cavalier track teams and they would tell you that self-motivation was definitely the key to success. A great deal of mental preparation went into get- ting ready for a meet. The desired mental attitude took time, practice and repetition. Discouraging was the fact that four meets were canceled at the last minute because of bad weather. In remaining meets, stand outs Doug Bartek, Mary Hohl, Jeanne Noonan and Mike Zahourek set several school and meet records. The inspiration of their efforts ena- bled the teams to bring home two trophies. Commenting on the second place finishes at Tekamah- Herman and North Bend Invitationals, Coach Tim Turman said, I was shocked to find out that we finished Runner-up at Tekamah-Herman. After that, I knew we had a good track team. As the season came to an end, Doug Bartek had the third fastest time in Class C in the 110 m highs and second fastest time in the 300m intermediate hurdles. Tied for third in Class C 100m hurdles were Jeanne Noonan and Mary Hohl. At the State Track meet, Doug set a new school record in the 300m intermediate hurdles, and placed second.

How far do I want to go away from home? Do I want to seek employ- ment or go to college? These questions and others were often thought of as seniors entered their last year of high school. As phamplets began to arrive from universities, technical schools and the armed forces, the ques- tions became more poig- nant. In the past, pamph- lets were often over- looked by the forty-six seniors. Now, a year of decision had arrived and they played a major role in the choice of which col- lege to attend or which branch of the military to join. Representatives came from colleges to talk to seniors trying to in- fluence their decisions. Another way for high school seniors to pick their college was to go on a visitation day. At this time, they would talk to coun- selors, students and graduates. Various mail- ings followed up to help better acquaint them with the school. A major consideration of which college to attend depended upon the car- eer choice of the graduate. The reputation of the college was a part of the decision as was whether or not a degree was offered in the chosen field. Another considera- tion was cost. The students looked into this in great detail. To help defray the rising cost of tuition, books, room and board, scholar- ships, loans and grants had to be applied for. As graduation ap- proached, the seniors started to feel the pres- sure. Knowing that high school was ending, they lost their sense of security and gained the feeling of being out in the world on their own. It was this feeling of anxiety that the seniors of 1983 felt as they signed their name on col- lege applications. These young men and women constantly wondered if they had chosen the right career and or school to attend. With graduation fast approach- ing, Shirley Steinbach stops at the college information board outside of the office. 62 Seniors Barbara A. Barry Douglas E. Bartek Peggy A. Bartek Jennifer L.

Senior money needs grow during year The cost of being a senior is very high, and there are many things that have to be done and paid for during the year. Includ- ed among these high priced items are ACT tests, college applications and senior pictures. An entrance require- ment for most colleges is the ACT or SAT test. These are taken early in the senior year so that scores can be sent to colleges. If scores are high enough, seniors can become elibi- ble for scholarships that will lower the cost of the college. Due to high ACT scores and high grade point averages, twenty of forty-six Neumann seniors received scholarships that will total over $60,000 over four years of college. Another cost that seniors must pay is the application fee for colleges. Most of the college application fees were between $10 and $15. After sending out a few applications and taking the ACT test, prices began to rise. The need for money never ceases for students; there is always something else that must be bought. Senior pictures are a high- priced memory that will be treasured by family and friends for years. Even though the cost of pictures averaged $75 to $100, memories that will be brought back are well worth the money spent, stated Dan Freeman. Along with senior pic- tures are the memory books and graduation an- nouncements. The mem- ory books keep pictures of the special moments in life, and are kept as a remembrance of special friendships that were made during four years of high school. To proclaim their graduation, seniors purchase announce- ments that are sent out to relatives and anyone special in their lives, These items cost between $30 and $60. More money was spent on graduation day. Gowns, flowers, and party supplies all added up quickly.

Students earn credits for them. However, there is a class for which no credit is received. This class tops the rest in appeal! It is known as Homeroom. Pleasing to some is the fact that many were not quite awake and missed out on all the complications. For those students who did take forty winks, the following is what they missed out on. The first bell rang at 8:18. A second rang two min- utes later. Most of the students arrived a little after the first bell chimed. Seating arrangements were not preferred. A few minutes time before an- nouncements were made was allowed for lunch count. Students waited to hear Principal Sr. Michelle Hayek's voice as she spilled out the procedures for the day. At the end of announcements, she would say prayer; Tues- days and Thursdays were reserved as Homeroom choice, providing an op- portunity for student ex- pression through poems or their own prayers. 66 Juniors enjoyed In March, while waiting for the bell to ring, indicat- ing the start of the day, students filled out a ques- tionaire put to them by the kitchen staff.

This was a common occurence during the year, as the administration iniated a comprehensive Alcohol Awareness Alcohol Program. Faculty, parents, students and other community members were strongly encouraged to attend monthly evening meetings. Talks, films, and question and answer per- iods were the usual format, as local law enforcement officers, counselors and recovering alcoholics made their presentations. Principal Sr. Michelle said that the programs provid- ed information about al- cohol and other drugs. She said, Although one can't change attitudes, I hope that this will help the students to make wise decisions - not just about drugs, but in anything that they encounter in their lives. I just hope that maybe people are at least thinking twice. “If you have to be drinking, don't drive at the same time , pleads Saunders County Sheriff. Ron PoskocS.

The trust of the PEER group was based on the fact that adolescents were more likely to turn to each other with problems than to adults. Through PEER, students learned how to help themselves and their friends. I really feel closer to the people in my PEER group than I ever thought possible, said Jeanne Christensen, a senior member. Teachers also enjoyed PEER. “It's nice to see the kids work through their negative feelings and be able to see the good, said Miss Marylou Wirth. This was the first year of PEER. The groups met once a cycle for two mods. There were two senior groups, two junior groups, one sophomore group, and three freshman groups. Membership in the group was on a volunteer basis and was limited to 6-12 individuals. Group sessions were under the direction of one of fhe eight teachers who were trained in a summer workshop to become facilitators. Luann Stock and Nancy Clark from the Nebraska State Department of Health were trainers. Miss Marylou Wlrth and her senior PEER group enjoy the warm weather while playing the Ungame.

We want to focus on the uniqueness of Neumann, said Sister Michelle, realiz- ing what Neumann stands for and making changes to accomodate the needs of together the students through a combined effort of faculty, parents and students. Approximately five ses- sions were held throughout the year during the time alloted for faculty meet- ings on the first Wednes- day of the month. Members of the Student Council. Honor Society, parent representatives and faculty members par- ticipated. This combined group discussed various topics, sharing ideas and experiences in view of the Christian Community.

In an age of a struggling econ- omy any item can become either a luxury or a necessity. 1983's recession hurt us all. Government tightening of the purse strings, reducing loans, social security and other pro- grams seem to have had a greater effect than the Patron support appreciated 76 Advertisements Mike Dostal presents his mother Erma with a kiss and a carnation as his father Marvin looks on at Neumann's parents' appreciation night FAR LEFT: Senior basketball players' parents show their spirit and support by putting on a skit during an afternoon pep rally.

Red Cross volunteer Jeanne Edwards takes blood from Mr. Wayne Reeves as part of the Community Blood Bank at the Wahoo Civic Center reduction of the income tax. So isn't it nice to know there's someone around to help? Patrons of Bishop Neumann High School have always been supportive. They not only attend games, plays, musicals and concerts, but also help by buying all the various moneymaking prod- ucts offered them by Neumann organizations or giving product donations to the organizations. They al- ways seem to find that little bit more. Within the first quarter of the year the Cavolag staff had set out to sell advertising to Saunders County mer- chants. Over $2000 was raised. Although this sounds like a lot of money it only pays a portion of the bill for the production of the yearbook. It's good to know that patrons of NHS are close by to lend a helping hand. Without their support we would lose that little extra something that sets us apart.

The theme was chosen in a brainstorming session between the editor and the advisor. Adver- tisements were sold in the fall, pictures were taken, developed and made throughout the year, and layouts were developed and worked on during the year. They were all finished in the two weeks after school dismissed. Several layout designs were chosen including three-column mon- drian, four-column modular and three-column mosaic. Throughout the entire book avant garde type face was used, 8 point for captions. 10 point for copy, and 24 point for headlines. For division pages serf gothic type was used, 8 point captions, 12 point copy, and 24 point headlines. The cover was patina gold, printed with cherry red lines and black print. The 8 V2 X11 cover was smyth section sewn and bound in stiff covers with end sheets of white paper stock printed with the school design of red lines and black print. The cover type was serif gothic bold with 30 point script, 24 point headlines and 12 point copy. The spine type was 24 point serif gothic bold and 12 point serif gothic bold. 104 pages of 80 pound enamel paper stock composed the book. The total cost of the book was $4,728.54. The Neumann Cavalog is a member of the Nebraska High School Press Association and the .National Scholastic Press Associa- tion. 250 copies of the 1983 Cavolog were printed by the Walsworth Publishing Company of Marceline, Missouri. Mr. Brian Smith, Mr. Mike Diffenderfer, and Mr. Greg Adams were the sales representa- tives. Awards received by the 1982 Cavalog were the NHSPA and National Scholastic Press Association First Class Awards. Staff Editor ......... Jeanne Christensen Varsity Staff .............

Every month the Student Council sponsored an as- sembly and they ranged anywhere from serious subjects to entertain- ment. Pat Hazal, magician co- median put on a show that will be well remembered, His use of student participation got the whole crowd involved and the hour was enjoyed by all. The alcohol awareness program was a new idea in the area and Neumann grabbed at it. The new program brought assemblies for the students and meetings for the parents. The assemblies featured talks by reformed alcoholics and police of the area and provided time for questions and answer periods. The meetings, which were held after parents' working hours, often used students in an aid to bring home the fact that teenagers do use drugs. At one meeting samples of the most commonly used drugs were brought for parents to examine. Although the meetings touched the subject of all drugs, they centered mainly on alcohol. 102 Closing Sophomore biology students Sue Sensibough, Pom Tvrdy, and Nancy Chapek get together to answer the workbook questions on chromosomes.

Closing 103 Student goals deserve credit Neumann students accom- plished feats they never thought possible, and seniors fulfilled goals in nearly every field of academics, or organizational and athletic en- deavors. However nothing was achieved without their giving of that extra time and effort that goes into producing results. Whether it was a talk with a trusted friend to get over a slump or personal problem, a few extra hours of study to obtain an A on an exam, or extra hours of practice to get a superior at music contest, that little bit paid of by producing the desired results. Realizing that credit must be given when it was due, students were truly grateful for the support and assistance given them. The sacrifices of time and money on the part of administration, teachers, coaches, sponsors, parents, relatives and friends were recognized if not formally, then in the heart, as being contributors to their personal success. 104 Closing Dove Snitley is the embarrassed recipient of kisses on the cheek given by Patty Murren and Kathy Hohl for having the best costume during Spirit Week.
