Mock Trial honors First Amendment In celebration of the 200th anni- versary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787, a First Amend- ment freedom of speech case was de- signed for this year’s mock trial com- petition. In the hypothetical case, Pat Pence and his group of marchers were arrested after protesting the actions of the Superintendent of Prisons. The team consisted of attorneys Susie Be- nes, Jenny Kadlec and Todd Rezac. Witnesses were Kris Nemec, Annette Woehrer, Michelle Hajek and Mark Bartek, alternate. Miss Monica Flakus was the teacher coach and Mrs. Mary Gilbride gave her services as a lawyer coach. It was really exciting to have the chance to perform in a court- room before a real judge,” commented Annette Woehrer. This year’s one act play, “Why Do We Laugh?” tells the story of a mar- ried couple as viewed during four stages of their lifelong relationship. The play gave the students a first place finish at Districts enabling them to advance to the state contest at Grand Island where they received two excellent ratings.

Small Changes Cheerleaders; FCA take on new look The varsity squad of cheerlead- ers experienced a small change this year as they were joined by a junior varsity squad. Preparations for the high-spirited season began during the summer months as the squads attend- ed a cheer camp and held weekly prac- tices in the city park. In July both squads attended the Dynamic Cheerleaders Association camp at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln. The camp consisted of a four day-three night stay at Smith Hall on the campus. The varsity squad earned many honors while at the camp including Most Improved Squad, Outstanding Jumps, Mounts, and Stunts, and Out- standing Squad. The Junior Varsity squad, although young, acheived and learned much throughout the camp. They also earned honors including Outstanding Spirit and Most Im- proved. Both squads returned with many ribbons, a sense of accomplish- ment, and an anticipation for the up- coming sports season. The Fellowship of Christian Ath- letes tried something new this year by joining both boys and girls groups. “I enjoyed working with the boys and girls together; I think it’s a good expe- rience for them to socialize with each other in the FCA setting. They both have fun and get to know each other better,” said sponsor Miss Mary Sydik. The new group experienced a sense of spiritual growth as they watched films on Christian morals and ethics. They share their spirit with the community by Christmas caroling around the area. A Christmas gift ex- change completed the holiday festivi- ties. During a time out at a boys’ basketball game Becky Benes shows her high-spirited cheerleading ability. Christmas shopping “Since we had four school days off in December, I used this time to catch up on my Christmas shopping because a lot of the stores are open longer on week- days.’’ Mr. Jeff Sill Christmas vacation “Having sixteen days off for vacation was great, but it was really hard to get myself back into the right frame of mind to come back to school. .... Anne Vrbka Holiday tournament “Losing to Class B Schuyl- er in the final game of the holiday tournament by only two points was a big disappointment after such a strong effort on our part. ” Dan Bartek Cheerleaders FCA 15
