( oit enetice cmum (MMt C SI Blair, after returning only a few varsity players off the 1978 football squad, surprised everyone in '79 by winning the Twin Rivers Conference with a 3-0 mark, and beating highly-ranked Plattsmouth and Nebraska City. The Bears, who were rated most of the season, had the play-offs nearly secured going into their last game with Elkhorn, but the Antlers knocked off the Bears and their hopes of reaching the play-offs. Blair’s season ended at 5-2-1. Jim Thompson and Rich Orsi led the offense in rushing and scoring, while Mark Otte, Lowell Kobs, Steve Grimit and Mark Watkins led defensively. Tony Dunning led the defensive charts until an injury in the Nebraska City game put him out for the season.

'fyoutup %e coca tfaiee Blair's junior varsity football team started the season out quickly with three straight victories, including an impressive 19-8 win over a strong Elkhorn team. But late in the season the young Bears struggled, losing two of their last three games. Still they held on to post a respectable 4-2 mark. Offensively, the Bears mixed the pass and the run well. Coach Carroll Huff relied on Kerry Cooper, Kurt Shanahan, Jim Lemen and Scott Dahlgren to support the Bears’ ground game. Cooper led the attack with 306 yards, followed by Shanahan with 197 yards and Lemen and Dahlgren with 174 and 163 respectively. When the Bears went to the air they were piloted by Rob Warren, who hit on 21 of 41 passes for 347 yards and 5 touchdowns.

The team also competed in the Plattsmouth Invitational and the Ashland Invitational, where Carlsen achieved second medalist honors. Coach Roger Thaden said, It’s going to be tough replacing three seniors, although with three returning letter winners the team seems to be getting stronger all the time.” Janet Carlsen, fifth place finisher at state, combines deep concentration and good form while waiting for the ball to break. 16 In the midst of trees, Shawn Wederquist is in deep concentration as he tries a low chip shot. yoty te Mt Anchored by freshmen Troy Jensen, Shawn Wederquist and Scott Nicholson, the boys golf team improved during the season and the future looks very bright.

Once again the junior varsity boys basketball team came through the season with an impressive record of II wins and 4 losses. Three junior varsity players, Rob Warren, Maris Deklavs and Kent Ogle, saw a lot of varsity action and all received letters. Junior varsity coach Ralph Glock put the season into words, stating, A measure of the team’s success was reflected in their ability to win the last three regular season games. During the year, events happened that allowed different individuals to contribute to the team’s success. I was pleased with the way team members responded.” The junior varsity was led by Maris Deklavs with an average of 15.5 points per game and Rob Warren with 10.8 points per game.

But they didn’t quite have enough in the end to win the close ones. Blair ended the season with an 8-11 record, being beaten by a traditionally tough Omaha Mercy team in the district semifinals. Injury and illness may have played a big part in the season as many of the starters were out for games. This gave some of the younger members of the team the experience and background for next year — as a result nine girls lettered in basketball. Blair was led by junior Karen Walker in both rebounding and scoring with 8.7 rebounds per game and 13.8 points.

It was a busy year for students and teachers alike. Accomplishments were many, but disappointments were still felt. When school was dismissed for the summer, those who are Blair High School dispersed in all directions. Many found summer jobs, but there were those who directly experienced the high rate of unemployment felt across the nation. Summer recreation filled the hours of many students. The Blair Municipal swimming pool was frequented by many water enthusiasts, as was nearby DeSoto Bend. Softball leagues, little league baseball, American Legion baseball, the Blair golf course and various city tennis courts ail provided leisurely activities. Although the school year came to an end, the rest of the world moved on. Inflation continued to rocket throughout the country. Election year politics provided Blair citizens the opportunity to become personally involved in their government. And rage and hatred continued to be felt by American citizens as the hostages remained prisoners in Iran. Mother Nature wasn’t very friendly toward Nebraska either. Severe weather threatened frequently throughout early summer. But the people of Blair counted their blessings. They were spared the agony felt by their neighbors in Grand Island, victims of a killer tornado which struck that city in June. Sheila Petersen is spending a lot of her summertime as a lifeguard at the pool. 152 I9S0 Graduate Teri Young works at Mac’s trying to raise money for college.

For the greater part of us, The actual learning experience has been pleasant. As freshmen we express a certain curiousity, Our thirsts are quenched as sophomores. The junior year gives even more satisfaction And as seniors we realize a sense of accomplish- ment. Influences which have molded us Will not soon be forgotten. For this is your memory album To help you remember your friends — and BHS — As being truly first class. LEFT Sophomore Maris Deklavs comes down with a rebound in varsity basketball action.
