Building For A Better Tomorrow” Warrior 1985 Broken Bow High School Volume LXTX We Are Builders. We spend our lives building and creating many things. We build relationships. We once built sandcas-tles and block buildings. We spend much time building ourselves and others. Sometimes we build walls around ourselves to prevent destruction. This construction of our lives is constantly growing, unfailing in the hope for a better tomorrow. School is where we have laid our foundations. In the 1984-85 school year, Broken Bow High School has provided us with many of our construction tools and equipment. We have been supplied with computer classes and data bases, geometry and physics, homecoming and prom, state wrestling meets, one-act plays, friends, fun, and activities such as “rock-a-thons” and the selling of roses. Most importantly, an addition was built to prepare us for the coming middle school. We as students have built our lives in, about, and around BBHS. ... building walls ... building sandcastles 2 ... building relationships 3 .. building athletically 4 ... building foundations . . . Building Socially Using the tools and skills that we’ve acquired at BBHS, we have built a network of relationships. School provided us with an opportunity to be involved in extracurricular activities, participate in classroom discussions, and construct many friendships. We learned to communicate. We learned to be assertive. We learned to experience life. With our classmates, we watched countless videos, danced to Madonna and Bruce Springsteen, shared french fries and secrets and lived an energetic and busy life. This was what school was about- constructing social lives in a learning atmosphere. 5 6 Summer Dance A Big Success In Mid-February, the cafeteria was crowded with high school students wearing sunglasses, Hawaiian shirts, and shorts. It was the student council’s annual summer dance and served to chase away the winter blahs. With the music blaring and strobes flashing, the students lined up for their free pictures, compliments of the student council. (Top) Jay Landkamer and Brad Ballenger relax between dances.

Homecoming involved a spirit-filled week, an exciting evening of sports, and a night of dancing to Knights of the Turntable. During the week, as students dressed in togas, diapers, punk outfits, and fifties attire, they participated in a fierce hall-decorating competition. The seniors' theme was “go for the gold,” and sophomores won the competition with their theme, burn 'em.” Friday night, energy abounded as the girls and boys played volleyball and football against the Ogallala Indians. After the sporting events, students met at the municipal building for a fun-packed and romantic dance to remember. 11 Crowned Homecoming Queen and King 1984 were Barb Briggs and John Dockweiler.

Prom lived up to the expectations of the motto, “All Night Long”. Girls and guys showed off their gowns and tuxedos while posing with their dates in the gym. The gym was decorated in burgundy, black and silver. Gerrit Hamblin gave the invocation and Justin Province, junior class president, and Dave Carroll, junior class vice-president, opened the ceremony by welcoming everyone to the prom. Later, Rick Smith, senior class president, expressed his appreciation for the prom on behalf of the seniors. Dan McLaughlin, social studies teacher, was the guest speaker. After the dance everyone gathered at the drive-in for “Fast Forward”. Following the movie, the juniors’ parents served breakfast at the Country Club. Prom activities definitely lasted “All Night Long”. (Top) Students dance to Straight Ace. (Bottom, left) Lisa Spanel and Kevin Bayne help decorate the gym.

Building Culturally BBHS students often climbed the stairs of learning to get away from ordinary education. At the top of these stairs, there were many more tools with which to construct knowledge. These tools came from special department, special classes, and special students within the school. With these tools, materials were created to broaden horizons. The fine arts curriculum provided pleasant sights, enjoyable sounds of music and a look at the Spanish culture. Foregn exchange students taught of their countries, people, and cultures. With culture, the students constructed knowledge, appreciation, and friendships that will last a lifetime. 17 19 20 21 Foreign Exchange Students Highlight Year Broken Bow High School was fortunate to have two foreign exchange students this year. Sue Newland of Australia arrived in January 1984, and left in January 1985. Robbert Smink of Holland was in Broken Bow from August 1984 to June 1985. ‘‘Being a foreign exchange student has been one of the greatest and most fulfilling experience of my life, as it is for most other ‘exchanges’. It is a wonderful opportunity to spend time in another country and learn about its people and customs, while having a great time doing things and visiting places and meeting people you might otherwise never have done, visited or met. “To think of what I might have missed if I hadn’t spent a year in Broken Bow, Nebraska!” —Sue Newland “Since I came here in August, I've been involved in sports. I started out in football, then I participated in basketball. By then it was the end of February, within a week I started to practice track. This has been a wonderful year. As soon as I finish my education (in Holland), I will do everything possible to come back here.” —Robbert Smink (Top) Sue Newland and Robbert Smink wait for Carl Sunberg’s autograph during the FCA banquet.

That was just the start of the hard work that the band put in this year. Fall activities included entertaining crowds at the state fair, field shows during home football games, and marching at the Harvest of Harmony parade in Grand Island. The band marched through intermittant drizzle behind Broken Bow’s Harvest of Harmony Queen candidate, Judy Goodner. It was a rather busy winter for the band. Not only did they play pep music for all home basketball games, they also had to prepare for the winter concert. Spring brought Southwest Music Conference. Nineteen band students participated. Later in the spring, the band participated in district music contests. The entire band received a one, the highest score possible. The band completed their year by playing at graduation. Mike Cumpston received the John Phillip Sousa award for being the outstanding band member throughout the year. Mark Whitney and company. (Row 1) Brett Norden. Tara Higgenbotham. Jennie Sammons.

The wealthy Daddy Warbucks, characterized by Mike Cumpston, decides to improve his image by bringing a young orphan into his home at Christmas-time. Kelly Davis, as Annie, is chosen. Choir director, Lance Bristol said he chose the musical “Annie” because it is new to high schools, yet a familiar story.

Building Academically The building blocks of today are the steps to tomorrow. At BBHS, students are encouraged to place these blocks skillfully and wisely to insure a better tomorrow. The students are rewarded for their efforts by being honored academically. Through many school activities, students gain these honors. Biology labs, National Honor Society, and Super High Achievers, are part of the school’s curriculum. Awards and special opportunities are given as tools. Scholarships and activities give students ideas with which to construct the future. r 33 34 35 Honor Society Sets Educational Goals Eleven students were initiated into National Honor Society during the 1984-85 school year. The National Honor Society Association of Secondary School Principals. Students are elected to the society on the basis of character, leadership, service, and achievement. Each year, students fill out applications for membership to the society. The applications are then given to a faculty council of teachers. The council reviews the forms and rates the applicants on a scale of one to five in the required categories. The council then makes their selection. New inductees for 1984-85 school year are seniors, John Dockweiler, Michelle Maas, Karen Olson, and Robbert Smink. Juniors inducted were Stephanie Dietz, Kevin Bayne, Micki Haller, Scott Nielsen, and Mark Petersen. Sophomores chosen were Matt Snyder and Scott Young. Barb Briggs, Marcia Eberle and LeeAnn Heflebower led the induction of the new members in honor society.

In this time, students break up into specialized groups and work on projects that are suited to their own tastes and interests. Areas open to students include: humorous creative writing, word processing, architectural design, theatre and drama, advanced science, and advanced art.

Dr. Donald Vanderheiden, superintendent, takes care of official school business. He has been superintendent for six years. During his first year at Broken Bow High School, Principal Robert Brown dealt with discipline, re-evaluat-ed senior priveleges, proposed an 8-period day and helped students with class schedules. The 198485 school year was Louis Stithem’s last year as “junior high” principal. He is now the principal of the new middle school. Nick Dean has been activities director for three years. During that time, he has also doubled as head football, girls' basketball, and golf coach.

Three veteran teachers retired at the end of the 1985 school year. Virgil Korte, high school math teacher, taught at BBHS for 37 years. Mr. Korte was also involved in coaching track, football, and basketball. Also retiring, were Pat and Mark Russell. The two P.E. teachers combined for 74 years of teaching. The Russells have both coached, Mrs. Russell taught English in addition to P.E. and Mr. Russell taught health in addition to his other duties. 45 Junior High Social Studies - Dan McLaughlin Industrial Arts - Jerry Beekman, Gary Siemens Mathematics Department - Jim Jensen.

Seniors Complete Plan On August 24. 1984, the first day of school, the seniors were looking forward to their senior year. They began the year with 85 students, two of them were exchange students. At homecoming, the class was determined to win the hall decorating competition once again. The theme was Stomp 'EM. The colors were red. black, and white. Despite a lot of effort and late nights, the seniors lost the competition for the first time. This did not spoil homecoming, however. The last homecoming for the class of 1985 was a memorable one. As the fall sports season ended, the seniors watched many of their classmates begin their final season of basketball and wrestling. The senior wrestlers helped pin both the SWC and district titles. In January, college-bound seniors had to get serious about their futures. Scholarships. FAF forms, and college applications came and went all too quickly. Then, an epidemic hit. The first semester had ended and seniori-tis began to strike. The teachers found that there were more late papers and less attentive students in their classrooms. One thing that was on the seniors' minds was prom, an event that would last All Night Long. After much deliberation and confusion, the seniors found their dates and planned an evening of memories that would last forever. The seniors were distracted for a while given something to think about, but after prom, senioritis struck again. The class of 1985 began marking time until graduation. Graduation and its preparations happened sooner than the class expected. Along with graduation, the class underwent a change. The students were no longer the class of 1985, but individual people with separate lives. Although the students went different ways, they will never forget BBHS, prom, playing foursquare at noon, or senior social studies classes. The seniors will always remember each other. On graduation day, the seniors had completed the foundation on which they would build the rest of their lives.

They were able to boss around the freshmen and sophomores, but they were not yet able to “rule the school. The junior year was a year for hard work and dedication. As a class, the juniors worked in concession stands during football, volleyball, and basketball games to raise money for prom. There were certain tasks that came with being a junior. The tasks included the dreaded term paper, chemistry labs, unsolvable algegra problems, and the mink in advanced biology. As April 13 came around so did the decorations in the high school gym. Prom 1985 was a huge success that indeed lasted, “All Night Long . School days seemed to be in slow motion as May 30 neared. The last day of school was a day to clean out lockers, say good-byes to school work, and a day to celebrate.

Jerod Beck Kelli Beeken Melinda Bjornsen Chad Breiner Sophs Build Path Last year, they were the ninth graders, the big kids of the junior high school. In 1984, as they began their sophomore year, they found themselves the youngest once again — this time starting their way through the ranks of high school. As a class, sophomores aren’t very active. They don’t organize prom or plan graduation. There was ony one major project that the class shared — homecoming decorations. In this, the sophomores made up for lack of quantity by showing an abundance of quality in one activity. Through their efforts, the class won the hall decorating competition. The opposing team on homecoming was the Ogallala Indians. The class chose Burn ’Em as their theme. The west half of the hallway became a flaming inferno of red. orange, and yellow crepe paper. At the end stood the focal point of the theme — a large Broken Bow Indian turning an Ogallala Indian on a spit over a blazing campfire. There were several highlights of the sophomore year. These included ordering class rings, participating in Mr. Korte’s last year of teaching geometry, and dissecting frogs and formaldehyde-soaked pigs in biology. Few would dispute that the sophomores enjoyed their first year of building a reputation at BBHS.

Along with the crazy fun and carefree days of being a jeff Berghorst freshman, came the occasional pressures of school. Cindy Bigbee Pressures included algebra tests, science labs, and hurrying to get all of the assignments in before the semester ended. The freshman year was one to grow on. Many of the freshmen received learner permits to drive, which was a big advancement in the adult world. The choice of classes grew larger, which meant the freshmen had the future to consider.

Members of the class had a new set of classes to choose from, new teachers, and new friendships to build. Not quite “leaders of the pack”, but not followers either, the eighth graders didn’t consider themselves just average. They strived to build a solid foundation academically, socially, and athletically.

As sixth graders, they were the “leaders of the pack”, but as seventh graders they were the followers. For many students there was the anticipation and excitement in being with the “older kids.” There were rewards and acheivements along with the first year in junior high. They took a large step toward adulthood. That in itself was exciting.

Broken Bow ended the season 4-12, but they were much better than their record shows. The Southwest Conference tournament was the highlight of the '84 season. Seeded last, the Lady Indians showed great stamina, determination and spirit. Playing in a small, hot, junior high gym, they rallied to a triumph over Minden in three long sets. They turned around and trounced arch rival Lexington. They ended up fifth in the conference tournament. The Lady Indians were a small, close-knit team and they hated to see the season come to a close. Front row (left to right): Tami Witt. Sheri Whiteman. Barb Briggs. Tami Peterson.

The Indians, preseason rated seventh in the Southwest Conference, battled against all odds to finish in a three way tie for second place, in the toughest conference in Class B. One of the many highlights of the year was when the Indians traveled to Minden to take on the Whippets on their homecoming night. Broken Bow’s victories had been tabbed as flukes by the Minden head coach. The Whippets, like many other opponents, were shut out. “Was that a fluke?” Broken Bow’s 7-2 record was the best since 1977 and they just missed the state playoffs. “7-2, We’re proud of you!” Gothenburg | £V -28 Cozad 14- 0 Lexington 2-14 Ainsworth 34-12 Ogallala 30- 8 Minden 13- 0 Holdrege 21- 0 Valentine 26- 6 Loup City 50- 0 Front row (left to right) Robbert Smink.

Runners Gain Respect In Southwest Conference Cross Country lacks recognition and support, but not winners. Running many miles during the early morning across the Nebraska fields with only you and the other competitors. Working day after day to be the best you can possibly be is the kind of unbelievable dedication which our 1984 cross country team possessed. Led by two-time Southwest Conference and District champion Kenny Hill and Lady Indian newcomer Stacy Slingsby, the Indians gained much respect throughout the S.W.C Not only was Senior Kenny Hill S.W.C. and District champ, he also placed within the top six in all the meets and was seventeenth at the state competition. Stacy, a freshman, also placed very high throughout the season and was ninth at the district meet. Other top performers included senior, Todd Graham and sophomores, Scott Young and Matt Snyder.

Through sheer gusts and determination, the team was able to upset three very highly-touted conference foes; Gothenburg, Holdredge and Cozad. The most thrilling game of the season was against Ogallala when the Indians lost a heartbreaker in five overtimes. The Indians saw their season come to a close in the second round of districts. The Broken Bow Indians were a hard-working team and they gave their fans many enjoyable moments.

The team played a difficult schedule which included state runner-up Gothenburg, and top rated teams Cozad, Lexington, Heldrege, Ord, and Burwell. The highlight of the season was the weekend that the Lady Indians played Gothenburg within 19 points and then turned around the next night and played a touch game with Cozad, losing by only five points. The Indians showed much potential at times, but never received the breaks they needed at the right moments. The lady Indians were able to bounce back from some difficult times and make a respectable showing throughout the season. 1984-85 Basketball Team- (front row) Stacey Slingsby.

The single word champion describes the 84-85 wrestling team. They were champions! The Indians, who at one time were rated second in class B, won every invitational, dual or triangular they competed in. They were also S.W.C. and District champions. There were many individual standouts this year. Eight of our wrestlers qualified for the state tournament, including seniors Travis Trotter at 112 lbs., Mike Cumpston at 145, Lance Miller at 138, John Noel at 155, John Dockweiler at 167. Juniors Troy Nelson at 98 lbs., Jody Bernert at 105, and sophomore heavyweight Rusty Davis. Nelson and T. Trotter placed 3rd and 4th respectively at the state tournament. Nelson was named the most valuable wrestler for the 84-85 season. The 1984-85 Broken Bow wrestler will always be known as the team of champions.

The team was young, with two juniors and three freshmen making up the squad. Dean said that the team needed to be more consistent. “Next year’s golf team will be tough. They have a good chance to be successful and more consistent,” Dean said. The golfers opened their season with a win at the Cozad duel and a win at the Lexington, Holdrege triangular. They went on to place 7th at the Ord invite, 5th at the Lexington invite, 4th at the Holdrege invite, 3rd at the Broken Bow invite, 3rd at conference and 4th at districts. 1985 Golf Team- Steve Mack, Scott Varney, Mark Petersen, James Gallentine, Mike Gal-lentine, Bryan Davis, Scott Kratzer, Richard Jerry McMeen- state golf contender Delozier, Bret Christen and Coach Dean. % (Top left) Coach Nick Dean takes a break following practice.

The team placed three points ahead of Lexington and one point behind Ogallala to place fourth in the Southwest Conference meet. The team placed fourth in the district meet also. Many team members had their personal bests at the conference and district meets. Pole vaulter Jeff Mattox jumped 12'10” and Mike Cumpston Jumped 12’6”. Frank Winder threw the shot put over the 50 feet mark and Mark Dowse jumped 21’2” in the long jump. Mike Heflebower had his personal best in the long jump with at jump of 20'6” Top performers for the season were Kenny Hill, Robbert Smink, Cumpston, Winder, and Mattox. All of them placed in every meet during the season. BBHS sent five tracksters to the state track meet in Omaha. The five failed to place but Kenny Hill recorded a personal best in the 1600 meter run.

The Lady Indians placed last in the Southwest Conference and district meets and there were no state qualifiers. Coach Darrel Sybrant said that the top performers for the season were Marcia Eberle in the 100 meter and 300 meter low hurdles and Chrisine Russell in the high jump. The three senior team members were Eberle, Deb Dietz, and Barb Briggs. Briggs couldn't compete this season because of a minor medical problem so she served as student manager. “Even though the girls didn’t have a good season, they were a pleasant and fun bunch to work with throughout the year,” Sybrant said. 102 (Top left) Hurdlers- Vaness Heath.

Bridges have been constructed between the school and the community by the 1984-85 art club. These bridges take many forms. This year, the art club painted Christmas decorations on the windows at Big J’s, for the B.P.O.E. Lodge, and designed displays each month.

B-Club Builds Athletic Pride The B-Club is an organization which serves as a tool to build pride in BBHS athletes. The purpose of the club is to honor the athletes who have lettered in high school sports. B-Club also lays a solid foundation for athletic events by raising money. A big success in 1985 was the B-Club chili feed. B-Club members sold tickets, made food and worked at the event. When B-Club started in the 1970’s the boys and girls athletes had seperate clubs. Since then, they have bridged this gap and combined the groups. Each year the club chooses the outstanding boy and girl athletes. (Front row) Eric Reinhard, Rod Baillie, Jeff Girardin. John Noel.

The 1984-85 cheerleaders constructed an unquenchable spirit as students yelled their way through sports seasons. Cheerleaders also had poster parties, sponsored pep rallies, and had pizza parties. The summer before school started, the cheerleaders won second place in final competition at cheerleading camp. The cheerleaders made the blueprints for the skyscrapers of spirit at BBHS.

Matt Snyder, John Noel and James Gallentine prepare for a Concord show. Several BBHS students spent their Saturday mornings creating communication, building knowledge of media, and having fun on CONCORD. Each Saturday, five or six students would appear at KCNI studio to produce a half hour long program developed from their sponsor’s blueprints. Highlights of the weekend construction were “Fancy That,” produced by Laura Drake, Micki Haller, Jan Treffer, and Deb Stumpff; live announcing; and top tunes of the ’80s. The weekenders didn’t relax during the week. They were busy selecting music, taping interviews, and spinning records at student council dances. CONCORD'S 25 members skillfully wielded media and talent to show the community a bit of high school life, and show themselves a bit of broadcasting, discipline, and fame. (Back row) Brian Larsen.

The club met approximately twice each quarter to plan their activities. This year, they attended state convention and sold donuts each morning before school. DECA built a routine into our early morning lives. Their main tool was the donut selling. Each morning students anxiously awaited the arrival of fresh donuts, rolls, and long johns.

New Computer Sets Foundation For Indian The 1984-85 INDIAN began a new year of building knowledge about BBHS in many new ways. They had a new sponsor, a new computer, and a rookie staff as a foundation for their building blocks. The staff utilized their skills, tools, and equipment well as they spent late nights preparing a prize-winning production. They learned of picas, good layouts, camera techniques, and discipline. From the INDIAN, students gained a warehouse of knowledge about the middle-school concept, social activities, new teachers, and sports highlights. The newspaper staff used media as their mortar to join school events to students and the community. 121 (Back row) K.C. Stumpff, Laura Drake, Michelle Bjornsen, Kay Kaps, Angie McAlevy.

And In Conclusion Although the construction on the new addition connecting the junior and senior high schools began and was completed during the school year, the construction of our lives continues. With graduation the seniors have completed just one phase of the building process, they will go on to another phase. For those of us who remain at BBHS the process continues. We continue to grow; to construct our lives socially, culturally, and academically. With the help of the administration, faculty, parents, community, and fellow students we are continually building for a better tomorrow. Yearbook Editors: Barb Briggs.
