Construction Students build Neumann’s shape At a glance the shape of Neumann High School was not recognizeable. To better understand the students one must take a closer look. What you see on the volleyball court or the opening night of the fall play did not automati- cally happen. Many hours of practice came first. What were once bits and pieces came agonizingly together as a literary magazine and a yearbook. Each new year brings different faces. You might ask. what is different about the year 1988? The difference is that everyone was taking shape. At the beginning of the year each student walked around not knowing which group he would become a part of. The first few weeks of school, all I worried about waas getting to my classes, said Freshman Nicole Werner. As the new ness wore off. students rolled up their sleeves and got to work. In the summer months, Sr. Michelle Hayek, ND and Miss Monica Flakus worked on arranging the students' schedules. Any student who had a con- flict with classes was notified and the schedule was rearranged. Sometimes classes had to be dropped.

When school started, band members could be seen practicing in the early morning hours. As time went on. forma- tions began to take on a recognizable shape. What looked like nonsense on pa- per turned out to be a musical show. When we first began. I wondered if all the work we did led anywhere. But when I watched the video from Pershing. I knew that it fit together. said band member Linda Specht. Starting with the fundamentals, art students moved their way from simple art forms, to complicated pieces of art- work. Many hours were spent on putting just the right touches on a painting. If I did not complete every detail of my picture. I felt like something was miss- ing, said Aaron Rezac. What was not missing in Neumann High School is the individuality of each student. Each one had his unique talents If I did not complete every detail of my picture. I would feel like there was something missing and I would try to fix it. and values. Without one of them some- thing would be missing. The athlete, brain, artist, and musician molded a school that many were proud of. It is exciting to see the trophy case grow ev- ery year. said Sister Germaine Drapal. ND. Neumann gave back to the commu- nity by some students visiting the elder- ly. At first I just went up to visit be- cause I needed the service hours. But I got to know some of the people and started to have fun playing cards. said Dave Sayker. There was not a shape that could not be found inside this building. Some of them were harder to recognize than the others. Students who were not in ex- tracurricular activities still played a vi- tal role.
