Vour attention please.'' This voice belongs to Mrs. Wilma Wolfe, the secretary, bookkeeper, reception- ist, and completer of many other miscellaneous jobs. Mrs. Wolfe has been an employee ot Neumann High School since 1969. Before coming to Neumann, Mrs. Wolfe worked In an office at a Catholic hospital, and at a farm machinery company. Since her first day of work ot Neumann, Mrs. Wolfe has acquired many duties which include; making out all checks, taking attendance, taking lunch count, issuing lunch tickets, calculating the cafeteria books and doing reports for the school board. Her doys during the school year ore filled with these activities. Mrs. Wolfe also works part-time for Neumann during the summer months. Mrs. Wolfe enjoys working at Neumann and says, I really like attending all the extra-curricular activities such as games, concerts, and contests. One thing which she likes to see is the resemblence of the students in families. Some chonges in the school have occurred since Mrs. Wolfe come to Neumann High School. When she began her job, Neumann did not hove an industrial shop and has since built one. Lost year the construction of the new wing containing o chapel, art room and home ec room provided a change of pace during the normal school yeor. Mrs. Wolfe noted that there are fewer students attending Neumann since she began her job here. Indispensible is a word to perfect- ly describe Mrs. Wolfe. Her many talents have served Neumann very efficiently for the past fifteen years and the administration, faculty, and students consider her to be irreplac- able.

This system consisted of 12 mods instead of the post 11, ond four bosic days installed in the master time system, which controls the clocks ond ringing of the bells. Schedules fl, 8, C and D controlled the lives of anyone who happened to or hod to be in the building on o school doy. Schedule fl mods were 32 minutes long ond dosses were this long on o normal doy. fl doy which storted on hour loter because of o faculty meeting or another engagement wos schedule 8. Mods on o doy like this were 27 minutes long. Schedule C was used for o variety of different occasions. Using the 27 minute mods provided on hour of time at the end of the school day for oil-school mosses, ond P€€fl (Positive educa- tional experiences in Relationships). Pep rallies ond doss club meetings required 20 minutes at the end of each doy. UUhen they occurred, class club meetings took place on each second Tuesday of the month. They provided times for groups like the Notional Honor Society, class of- ficers, pep club, ond others to get business done. Another new item which wos added to the six-day 12 mod schedule is the lunch mods. This year mods seven ond eight were re- served for lunch. Students hod to look on their schedule to see which mod they were to eot. Concerning the four schedule system. Ms. Morylou UUirth com- mented, With everything fitted into it's own time slot the whole system worked much more efficiently.” The new system wos just another thing to draw attention to Neumann High School. Opening 5 NHS tunes in entertainment Hey! Let's go see o movie this weekend. There's o greot show on HBO tonite. Should we go to Lincoln or Omaha to cruise guys? These ore just o few of the many weekend choices for Neumann students to consider. €ven though Neumann students hove to drive from twenty to fifty miles for weekend entertainment, it’s often done. If the students remain in UUohoo the entertainment consisted of driving around, partying, going to games, and bowling.

Of coursel Uh ... ot least I think I do unless of course she'd soy no when I finally ask.” Anywhere from two weeks to one day before Homecoming, con- versations like this were not unu- sual. Students took time out during lunch mod, In the hallways, or even in the doss room to anxiously discuss Homecoming plans. They didn't just think of dates however, many wondered how this years Homecoming would be compared to other years. Would Neumann win the gome? Was it going to roin again, like it hos for the post four years? And who would be the Homecoming King and Queen? The theme of Homecoming wos Almost Paradise , and it proved to be true in several moments of the evening. First Neumann won the gome ogoinst Mocy, fifty-two to twenty, o paradise to the players and the girls who hod them for dotes.

The cast of eleven members worked at least three nights a week for over two months, learning lines and blocking, as well as songs ond donee routines. “It was a lot of work, said senior Pom Tvrdy, but I was sorry when it was over. The musical was based on the gospel of St. Matthew. It portrayed a Jesus appearing, not to Hebrews, but to a group of young punkers.

But this year there mere some changes in the preparations from previous years. One difference mas that there masn't a prom Mass to plan. It mas decided that insteod of a special service, students mould attend Mass at their omn parishes. Another change mas a parent- sponsored post prom party. The Dodger-Lanes bomling alley mas rented by the parents, and from 12:00 A.M. to 5:00 A.M. the juniors and seniors had the opportunity to boml, rollerskate, match videos, ploy pool, and eat pizza and other snacks, all added mithout charge. The post prom party mas nem and fun, said Kathy Motschiner. It masn't the usual kind of party, but you don't need to drink after prom. The 1985 prom theme mas A Midsummer Night's Dream .

They were great sources of entertainment, but unfortunately they were also expensive. Tickets ranged anywhere from $7.00 (Huey Lewis and The News) to $30.00 (The Jacksons). The tickets were just the beginning. After orriving ot the concert, tour merchandise was a must on concert goers' lists. There ore two types of concerts, general admission, and the advanced plan. To some the general admission concerts ore the best, because you might be ot the front row. UUhile others hoted this, because they disliked being smothered by the fons. I don't like feeling like o sordine, and getting spit on by other people. Another big problem was being carried over the thousands of fans, as stated by Senior Tina Masek. On the other hand some students liked the advanced plan. This way you could come ot anytime, and be asured of your seats. The biggest concerts of this year, in order, were: Huey Lewis and The News, Rick Springfield, and Bruce The Boss Springsteen. This was according to a telephone poll taken by a local radio station earlier this year. Upper right: Hacky King. Joe Schinker shouts Jackie Purasek and Bruce Coufol some of his suilft moves.

He kept everyone entertained dur- ing lunch period with his crazy antics. Hackying was the latest craze at noon, and it wasn't a cheap hobby. A leather, two inch hocky ranged any- where from $8.00 to $15.00. After a couple months of intense ploying the hocky finally gets broken in, but It must be replaced in another three months due to the crushed plastic beads. Hocky could be played in the gym, or, depending on the weather, outside. It was one of the favorite sports because it could be carried In your packet, or placed in your folder. 16 Mini Mag Bottom: During their free mods Miss Morylou UJIrth. Jeonne Osmero, Susie Senes.

Pitch it, or keep it? Mailboxes stuffed with unwonted advertisements, or junkmoil, was o familiar and sometimes frustrating sight to everyone, and especially to high school seniors. Seniors received junk moll from colleges or business schools from oil over the country. It usually ended up being thrown owoy without ever being opened. Some Seniors received bushel boskets of moil, while others were lucky, and only obtained o couple of let- ters. A small survey showed thot most students shoved the unwonted moll In their closets, In a BIG box.

Besides college and busi- ness schools, junkmoil come from the Armed Forces, financial aid deportments, ond UJho's UUho in America. Another populor form of junkmoil were the sweep- stakes. They come from Reader's Digest. Publisher's Clearinghouse ond American Family. They offered cars, houses, exotic trips ond money for o lifetime. Some students did enter, but, unfortunately, no one from Neumann ever won more than ten cents. Though most of the junk- moil went from the mailbox to the gorboge con some survived. It was these lucky letters which directed most students' careers. Extravaganza premiers €xetreoveaeganezo - n: o literary or musical work, marked by extreme freedom of style ond structure.

Jackie Furosek ond Bruce Coufal opted for closer to home activities, like the Boy's State High School High School Basket- ball Tournament. Many sen- iors used the weekend to visit prospective colleges. Vet to mony students Spring Break wasn't o break at oil. Several juniors hod to use the weekend to complete ten- page long history term papers. Some parent’s took Helen Schinker used her Spring vocation to brush up on her skiing skills. In this cose her foiling skills. Break advantage of their chil- dren's vacation time, and had a Spring cleaning week- end. Janet Kavon stated her plans for the weekend Included working to make some money. Whatever the activity most students agreed the March weekend was a nice change from school activities, fls junior Susan Sobotka stated Dur- ing February ond March there really aren't any holidays, so the break serves os a holiday to all of us. No matter what the student's did over vacation, most agreed when they come back on Monday, that it wasn't quite long enough, and they could've used an extro day to really feel like it was a true vacation. RIGHT: Julie Wolto ond Jeanne Osmero talk about the excitement of Christmas at Jackie Furosek s Christmas party. Cookies, popcorn, pizza and movies, fill the makings of a good party, and to drink? Pepsi, Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper or any other type of pop. Not every party needs alcohol to be fun. Neumann students proved this by having their own bashes, omitting the alcohol. Parties at the lake, slumber parties, holiday and food parties entertained students on weekends. They're fun to go to because there's always so much to do: watch videos, rent movies or whot ever, soys senior Nancy Pearson, find there Is always lots to eat. One party had a smor- gasbord of Italian pasta and sauces, another featured exotic appetizers such as chocolate popcorn, and al- most oil hod the traditional porty mixes, chips and dips. To some eating may have been the most exciting part of the party. Others simply enjoyed the activities there were like gomes, pizza making contests, swimming, roller skoting, watching MTV, or renting movies to see on someone's VCR. On thing for sure, Is that the kid’s always had a good time whatever they were doing, fls one anonymous student said, Non-alcoholic parties are exciting, delicious, activity full, never boring and just plain funl 18 Now hear this Celebrating the gold.

Respect Life On February 5, students, parents and members of the community come to school not for dosses but for Respect Life Day. The day was sponsored for people to become better awore of good physical and mental health. It was the first time Neumann had sponsored this day. It began with a welcome and an opening address by Sr. Mlchlele Hoyek. who gave an over view of the doy. Fr. Robert Roh, religion Instructor ot Rquinas H.S. spoke to the assembly about o major learning experience in his life. From there students attended mini-sessions. There were so mony that looked inter- esting, I didn't know which one to choose, soid Fresh- man Karen Hladlk. They covered topics from health concerns, films on social problems and a popular option was a physical wor- kout in jozzerdze. “I really enjoyed the jozzerdze. Cven though you got pretty hot, the workout was fun dancing to the music. says Senior Darlene Uhllk. Several students even joined local jozzerdze dosses becouse they enjoyed it so much. After the student's at- tended their mini-sessions, oil met In the gym and listened to a speaker repre- senting LU.€.B.fl. (Women €xploited By Abortion). She told of her personal feelings and her tragic experience with abortion. The day was concluded with Moss. Now hear this 19 Classes prepare Neumann students The college preparatory classes here at Neumann really helped me in college classes. The note taking in Biology and reading assignments prepared me well for campus classes. One former Neumann graduate made this com- ment after two years at college. Neumann may not offer wide variety of classes but the classes they do offer really do a good job. The teachers at Neumann are in a class by themselves. They under- stand how active the students are and take into consideration the students' busy lives. The teachers balance out large homework assign- ments and leave plenty of time for students to do the best job possible. Students make time for academics although extra-curricular activities ore stressed a lot ot Neumann. Students realize that academics will get them through college and future life. 20 Academics Division i Above: Moth Anolysis students toke notes for the upcoming test on porobolos, ellipses, ond hyperboles On o field trip to Lincoln, junior physicol science students relor before continuing their doy.

Their main projects include writing ond illustrating o children's story ond doing o research paper on the day they were born. Miss Sydik taught UUorld Literature. The students read works by non- flmerican and British outhors, begin- ning wtih The Odessey and ending with Siddhortha. Miss UJirth's Adolescent Literature class did an extensive unit on Block literature In America. Her Children's Literature class did individual projects on topics of their choice, such as fantasy and mythology. The soph- omore American Literature group did a section on folklore and read such works os Huckleberry Finn and The Great Gatsby. The French deportment expanded with an influx of over 70 students . It was the largest number of students I’ve taught in 11 years of teaching, said Mr. Sill. The sophomore speech class spent the first semester studying communication and the second semes- ter writing speeches. They gave a variety of different presentations, ranging from information to persua- sive speeches. The favorite, how- ever, was the demonstrative speeches because, as Mary Ohnoutka said, They were the most interest- ing. Lots of people showed how to cook things, and we got to sample the results. The 1985 Cavalog won the Cornhusker award at the Nebraska High School Press Association This was the fifth year in a row that the Neumann yearbook has goined such an honor.

The juniors focused on American History, under the instruction of Mr. UJayne Reeves. The major assignments in- cluded o term poper ond o final take home exam. ”1 enjoyed Mr. Reeves's doss because he gave us his own opinion on historical events, like UJorld UUar II, ond offered us a fresh viewpoint, one different than the text books, said John Benal. Senior sociol studies focused on U.S. government the first semester; including the study of the constitution ond the three branches of the government. The second semester focused on sociology, the study of family culture ond sociol problems. I thought sociology was very interesting os it dealt with present doy sociol potterns, ond not just the history of a culture or on event, quoted Bruce Coufol. Also included for four seniors wos the Close-up trip to UJoshington D.C. “I enjoyed the trip becouse through the Close-up program we went to many ploces like the Indian embassy that we otherwise wouldn't hove been able to get in to.

Located ot the end of the new wing, its purpose: o place for spiritual development and guidance for students and faculty. Bishop Glen- non Flavin gave his approval of the new addition by blessing the chapel. Fill students utilized the new chapel, some went to class mass and others went to confession. There was also moss every day, in which students weren't forced to go, but were able to choose whether or not they wanted to celebrate mass. There were a few pupils who didn't attend moss, and it was these students who helped bring about a Parish Council meeting, fit their discussion, the priests decided to make class mosses mandltory for all students. The result of not attending mass was to stay after school for thirty minutes, and write a paper on the reason for not going to mass. The reactions to this resolution were mixed. Some students felt that this decision infringed upon their freedom, while others thought that this would force fellow classmates to come too, and cause some disturbance at the mass. Freshmen were instructed by Fr. Doug Fuller. They studied from the book Life in Christ. This book developed the subject of leading a good life, and gave examples on how a good Christian should act ond live. The sophmores were taught by Sr. Christine Uerling, MS, who guided them through a major portion of the Bible, both Old and New Tes- taments, the prophets and sac- raments. Sr. Christine's room was the site of junior religion, also. They were Instructed on the lives of saints, Christian morality, and on the ten commandments. The Senior class had a host of different teachers. Fr. Thomas Flu taught the first semester, teaching the different aspects of sin. The third quarter Fr. John McCabe taught the basics of Natural Family Planning and of marriage. The fourth quarter's instructor was Fr. John Keefe. He taught about social justice, the Christian way of life.

I can't wait to take it next year, said freshman Ann Srobec. She was one of 30-40 girls enrolled in home ec courses which were offered for the first time this year. Clothing students, who concentrated on construction in class, each started at her own ability ond improved from there. The highlight of the year was their style show held in late April. €ach girl modeled some article of clothing which she mode. The foods doss studied basic nutrition, microwave cooking, some characteristics of malnutrition in Cthopio, manners ond etiquette at the table, ond preparation of meals. Two guest cooks visited the doss. Fr. Gerald Vapp demonstrated sour dough bread ond Fr. Thomas Au showed Chinese stir fry cooking.

Attending o smaller school provides opportunities for the students to be very active in many different organizations ond extra- curricular activities. This is a definite advantage for the students. In larger schools where the enrollment in larger students don’t hove the chance to join lots of various organizations and clubs. Having fewer students involved in many activities helps develop bonds between the students ond mokes the school more unified. Since students were involved in so many different activities it would seem to be difficult to get projects accomplished. Actually, Neumann organizations ore some of the most efficient and provided fine service. Drill team members fllyson HoN- Connie Mosek.

The cheerleaders and pep club were busy during the month of October, as they decorated the gym and got ready for homecoming. Hallways were covered with streamers and decorations for the theme of Almost Paradise . Because of a small amount of girls trying out, the cheerleading squad was limited to six varsity and no junior varsity cheerleaders. During tryouts, the girls had to learn chants and make actions for a cheer, do some jumps, and perform cartwheels, roundoffs, and the splits. €och extra skill counted for more points. During the summer, the six cheerleaders attended a DCfl camp in Lincoln. There they learned new skills and chants to bring back to the pep club for them to learn. Halftime entertainment during football and basketball games was provided by the drill team. The eight members attended summer camp to learn new routines. The girls used hats, gloves, and pom-poms to liven up their routines. Gariy in the year the drill team sold Reese's Pieces and candy bars to help pay part of the year's expenses. The girls, along with their sponsor. Miss Monica Flakus, put-in many hours before and after school, practicing their routines.

The seasons were filled with disappoint- ments and victories. The Varsity football team come very close to state playoffs. The Varsity girls' volleyball and basketball teams competed in state tournament octlon for the second year in a row. The track teams finished high in conference and district meets. The pace of high school athle- tics Is moving rapidly to higher levels and better skilled athletes are emerging from schools. Neumann athletes are spending more time during off seasons to prepare for the active season. During the summer months, Neumann athletes go to summer comps, and weight lift twice a week to stay in top condition. Many also participate in summer league gomes every week. The hard work pays off when o goal is reached, and this past year Neumann athletes have reached many successful goals Above: Jim Wotlpko toys the bosketbol Into the hoop while Don Bortek.

She won her first race over o season long rival ot the distrcit meet after placing second to her in other runs. Because of her dedication and hard work, she was named on Rthlete of the Week (October 15-19) by the Omaha World Herald. Her success led the teams’ successes. The boys started strong but were overcome by stronger oppon- ents os the sea- son closed. The highlight of the year was their first place finish ot the Rquinos Quadrangular. Many underclassmen joined the girls' teams after the season hod begun. With their help, the squad gained momentum and come to full power near the year's end, earning a berth ot the state meet.

The main recognition should be awarded to the people of this school. The rooms, athletics, arts and activities could be token away ond the administra- tion, faculty, ond students would remoin. There's o certain pride in the people of Neumann that binds them together ond creates unity. In times of sorrow ond joy Neumann depended on one another for support. €ach student ot Neumann is on original. €ach one comes from o different background ond family. Students that attend ore from several small towns ond forms in the surrounding oreo. UUith only 194 students attending, dosses ond participating activities moke o definite bond between the students ond faculty, friendships were newly mode ond solidified. The people ot Neumann drew much ottention to each other, because they core for each other. By coring for one another, they drew ottention to the school because of it's overall unity. the Neumann boys excel 74 People Division For loft: Don Gruenes osks Jeff Meduoo for assist once on his €ngHsh worksheet. fl group of senior girls get their picture token ot the homecoming donee. lUlow: Several freshmen girls use their time In o resource center to get their homework finished. 76 Seniors Much required of Seniors between school jobs They were the first ones ot school, ond usually the lost people to go home. Their jobs ranged from waitresses ond cooks to mechanics ond nurse aids. €ven though the seniors were involved heavily in school activities, such os football, ploys, ond track, they somehow always squeezed in time for work. ULJhen getting home at ten o'clock on weekdays most seniors still hod on hour or two of homework yet to be completed. Senior Nancy Pearson sold, The least thing I wonted to do when I got home from work was to read forty pages in English ond finish Moth Analysis. All I wonted to do was to go to bed. Another problem with port time jobs was getting days off or trading days with other employees. ULIhen school donees were held Friday ond Saturday nights a working senior looked hard for o replacement. However, there ore ad- vantages to port time jobs. Senior Jane Nemecek worked ot the Sounders County Core Center ond she sold, I learned o lot about the elderly ond hove mode valuable friendships with my fellow employees. Jobs not only offer new relationships but also in- troduce you to the working world. Being able to exper- ience work in high school gives o greater chance of obtaining o responsible job after groduotion. There is one big advan- tage to working that hos yet to be mentioned- money. Port time jobs con lead to o cor or just spending money. All the hardships ot work seem to just disappear when he she receives their pay check ot the end of the week. Although there ore hin- drances to working port time most students feel that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Super Volu checker.

Steve Sullivan 8ob Tvrdv. tenlto Vonek, Annette Juniors take ACT'S Waking up early on a Saturday morning uias not one of the most favorable memor- ies that the Juniors look bock upon. Driving 20 to 40 miles to reach their destination before eight In the morning meant on early rising for most. After reaching the testing centers the students were required to present their registration forms along with showing some sort of I.D. They were then armed with two sharp pencils and equipped with o desk in o testing room. Months before It wos time to take their ACT’s. students went over the ten question review that they received in the moil. Along with the test review come the octuol ap- plication form. It often took hours to fill In oil the little circles that answer the corresponding questions In the booklet. After filling in a hundred or so of circles, the Importance of filling them in perfectly become much less Important. The questions dealt from present school activities to future vocational plans. Junior Tim Aezoc said, I felt the ACT questions were personnel and hod no context to the test itself. Although toklng ACT's wos not something one looked forward to, nonetheless it wos something that hod to be done. Father Schroder, the guidonce counselor, heavily stressed them. Most colleges base their incoming require- ments on them. The highest possible score to receive is o 36, while the notional aver- age is 18. All the hard work and stress pays off when o student is shown his her composite score. An accumulative aver- age of 25 or better greatly enhonces the possiblity of receiving on academic scholar- ship. Juniors 79 Work log In the ofternoon heot. sophomore Todd Rezoc deons his volve covers Driving privilege brings responsibility Anyone wishing to at- tend driver's education dosses this summer, please come pick up on application form in the office,” Sister Michelle Hayek ND, principal, stated over the P.fl. in the morning. One of the biggest privileges that come with high school wos driving to school. Most sophomores looked forward to that big day. Many students enrolled in the driver's ed. summer classes to gain the exper- ience needed for driving ond knowledge of the rules of the rood. The dosses helped me to pass my written driver's test, os stated by sophomore Todd Rezoc. The driver's ed classes consisted of on the rood training ond in-doss paperwork ond tests. fit the oge of 15. students could obtain o learner s permit. This al- lowed them to drive if they were accompanied by a licensed Nebraska driver, who was ot least 19. In some cases students between 14 ond 16 could acquire a school permit. But. they must live ot least one to one ond o half miles from school, ond were limited to driving to ond from school. When the actual test come, many students were nervous. The driving test only lasted about five min- utes, but It seemed longer If you got o certain driving exomlner. A complaint often heard wos not that the tests were too difficult, but that examiners needed to be available at the court- house for more often than just Mondays ond Fridays. 80 Sophomores Sorry.

Because of the low prices that the formers' grain sold for they began to enter a slight depression. €ven though many families and local businesses were suffering effects from this economic decline, Neumann continued to get steady support. The local parishes from UJahoo, Valparaiso, Touhy, UJeston, Prague.
