Most of the academic depart- ments were changing in one way or an- other. A former student, Mr. Gerald Humlicek, came back to teach in the math department. A new computer was added to room 23 which enabled the journalism class to have their own computer in room 32. After suffering the loss of several teachers, the religion department experienced the teachings of Superintendent Fr. Christensen and Principal Sr. Michelle as both were forced into the classroom situation. The band got a taste of new tech- niques. Miss Mimi Shomshor, a stu- dent teacher from UNL, spent the sec- ond semester at Neumann, aiding Mrs. Joann Couton with her classes and stu- dent lessons. “Miss Mimi was a really neat person and I know she’ll go far in her teaching career because she knows how to get along with the kids and still be strict,” said Junior Kris Nemec. Laughing over the pictures in a senior memo- ry book during lunch are Rick Chmelka and Lisa Chvatal. Mr. Wayne Reeves, athletic director, an- nounces the starting lineup for a girls’ basket- ball game. Opening 3

Variety And more tales of innovation to the same class at the same time ev- ery day, but it ended up being a lot eas- ier to remember what your next class was, Senior Sandy Coufal said. A split lunch period with juniors and seniors eating together and freshman and so- phomores together also came with the new schedule. “I didn’t like it because you never got to see everybody in the school,” commented Freshman Cheryl Cherovsky. Changes were worked into several aspects at Neumann. For the third year in a row, the girls’ volleyball and basketball teams were faced with a new head coach. Cheering on the teams was a new group of cheerleaders divid- ed into varsity and junior varsity squads. They carried the cheering load themselves as a pep club no longer existed due to lack of interest by the student body. The drill team was ex- posed to a different type of music as they were required to take band class and march at the contests with the band. Sister Mary James, C.K. and Sister Anne Jaelle, C.K. set up the slide projector as they prepare for a talk on vocations. Senior Roger Fujan puta finishing touches on the mural painted in the gym by the advanced art class. 2 Opening

Look what’s happening Sports events attracted many peo- ple to Neumann. The girls’ track team made history as the first Neumann team to capture the state track title. Upon entering the gym, one couldn’t help but notice the huge mural of Neu- mann Cavaliers painted across the north wall in bold red and gold letters. Fr. Christensen also had sturdier ce- ment benches built on the patio and a sprinkler system installed on the foot- ball field to improve the beauty and practicality of the school. In previous years, a student could dress up when he or she was involved in an extracurricular event that day. However, only those students involved were allowed to dress up. This resulted in a confusion of who should still be in uniform. Therefore, the last Wednes- day and the first Friday of each month were designated as the only days when the whole student body was allowed to dress up. Every other day the dress code was enforced. “I’m glad they made the change. I was always running We were the last parochial school in the diocese to still use the modular scheduling. out of clothes to dress up in,” said Se- nior Julie Barry. Since the students were not al- lowed to hold fund raisers for prom, the banquet, prepared by the junior mothers, was served in the St. Wences- laus Church basement. The dance was held in the school gym with the music and decorations being paid for by the money from soc hops. “It was really neat,” said Senior Barb Niedfelt. “You couldn’t even tell it was our gym. I real- ly had a nice time.” With the vast amount of changes happening, it’s only appropriate our 1987 Cavalog theme is “Small Change”. Student Council members Mark Masek and Shannon Hansen begin the school day by raising the flags. 4 Opening
