Dedicated groups Newsletter; speech team reap rewards Working on exact form, senior Linda Barry takes time to practice in a quiet corner before performing. Seven dedicated volunteers worked on the newsletter. “They were a hard working group,” praised the adviser, Mr. Jeff Sill. “Each month they got their assignment and came back a few days later with the complete article.” For their dedication, Sr. Mi- chelle Hajek, ND treated the staff at Dairy Queen. Conference Speech was the big project for the speech team as Neu- mann was the host. “Contest was a lot of work, but with the help of practical- ly everyone we met the challenge,” said Ms Marylou Wirth. The Neu- mann Speech Team did make some major accomplishments. Neumann de- feated the returning champions from Scotus to win the Conference trophy. Later the team went on to win the Dis- trict title by defeating Cedar Bluffs. Five girls went on to participate at state: Linda Specht, Sue Spicka, Amy Brabec, Linda Barry and Jenny Kad- lec. The girls performed well, with Linda Sphect finishing 2nd over all. The highlight of the trip was the bliz- zard that stranded Ms. Wirth and the five girls at the Cornhusker Hotel for two days. It was something I’ll never forget,” said Linda Barry. i Playing the part of her character, Tracy Bar- ton delivers her humorous prose cutting from the book Shiela the Great. New teacher.

Spring fling Sharing a special moment as king and queen of prom, seniors Shan Rockwell and Stacie Sander- son pose for pictures. Velma Ottisof the Wahoo Greenhouse checks ar order as Karen Bohac waits for her boutonniere she ordered for prom. Caught standing in the reign of glory A small change awaited the sen- iors this year as juniors chose to hold the prom dance in the Neu- mann gym. Preparations for the long awaited event began months ahead of time as decorations and plans were dis- cussed. Excitement filled the air a few days before the final festivities oc- curred. Plans made by the juniors came together as they all worked to- gether the night before prom to trans- form the gym. Cost seemed to play an important part in the prom scene this year as more girls shopped around for their dresses. “I found mine last summer on sale. I saved a lot of money,” said Ju- nior Vicki Ohnoutka. Many of the boys rented tuxedos and a few even added a cane to their wardrobe. Borrowed cars appeared on prom night as lasting impressions of the Junior-Senior Prom came alive. Prom has become the highlight of the senior year. “I loved the decora- tions! The Juniors did a super job!” said Senior Sandy Coufal. A Grand March opened the dance as couples paraded in view of everyone present. Royal blue and silver were the prom colors. Clouds of cotton and foil- covered stars enhanced the theme of “Edge of Heaven”. Coronation at 10:30 p.m. ended the suspense as Stacie Sanderson and Shan Rockwell were crowned king and queen. Jenny Kadlec and Dan Brabec served as first attendants. The prom was a night to be remembered by many and a very special gift given to the sen- iors by the juniors. Easter “On Sunday morning we al- ways wake up early before church and search outside i for our Easter baskets full of I chocolate bunnies and jelly beans. ” Jody Wolfe District music “Performing in front of a judge for competition is real- ly different than singing in class. There’s a lot more pressure to do good as every | note counts. ” Pete BordovskyX 20 Prom
