This yearbook takes you on a special tour through the crazy, zany, and memorable year of 1986. This guide is the end result of many hours of discussing, plan- ning, and working. The staff installed some new yearbook technology by using a comput- er program for yearbook copy, and they worked extra hard on meeting deadlines to bring you a cover in color and a full page in color. The guide also contains highlights of the year 1986, with features on fashion, music, movies and television, and the news that made headlines, both locally and worldwide. Of course, the staff wouldn't want you to miss another new addi- tion to the yearbook: the first ever inclusion of junior high and elementary. Hopefully, this will add some historical value to the book, and create rhore interest in the book within the community. This guide was meant to bring you, the reader, closer to the people, the events, and the action. What impact did 1986 have on your life? Review the following program guide and relive the year.

Every year a new group of students and faculty is gained and some old familiar faces are lost, that is why every year is so unique. On the fol- lowing pages you will meet the people who made an impact on the 1986 school year. New challenges face faculty There were several new challenges this year that the CHS faculty worked to con- quer. One of these was the new schedule, which did not in- clude study halls. Instead, the schedule was set up to include a homeroom in which each or part of a class was assigned. Chorus, which had previously been only a 25-minute vocal period, was given 40 minutes and was held at the same time as homeroom. Classes began at 8:20 a.m. and ran until 3:35 p.m. This made it possible to take an additional class. When talking with Mr. Stine on the success of the new schedule, he stated, The new schedule was both positive and negative in its effect. It was positive because the additional class gave the students a wider background and the fifteen minutes of study timeat the end of every class helped many students receive individual help and eliminated much wasted time. It was negative in that it also eliminated many library opportunities. The Ijbrary wasn't as accessible to the stu- dents. Mr. Stine also stated that he wasn't sure that they would continue the use of the new schedule next year. Another challenge the fac- ulty took upon themselves was taking part in an all day CPR course. Mrs. Tenopir said, It was a very educational experi- ence, something we needed to know. The faculty did a terrific job, not just the area of teach- ing, but in accepting the re- Cooks: Phyllis Niemeier, Reba Tomlin (head cook), Delores Froelich, and Betty Kruger. 1985-1986 school board: Kathy Brown, Phil Johnson, Joe Raburn, Warren Jones, Keith Klocke, and Donna Liggett. sponsibility of another class and in learning CPR techniques in case of an emergency. 6 Custodian Ed Froelich takes time out for a picture.

Class of 1989 Questions, The same old building, but new conversation. Long days, with more homework and ac- tivities. The Freshmen with their talent for asking questions finally began their first year of high school. Can I have a ride? Fresh- men were always asking upper- classmen for a ride at noon, a Questions relaxed upperclassmen were compared to Freshmen. But as the year got going, the routine wasn't as uneasy as it was at the start and despite the long days and busy schedules the Fresh- men survived their first year, thanks to questions being an- swered . ride home after school, and a ride to McCook on boring weekends. Why can't we sit in the back of the bus? Poor Fresh- men stuck in ihe front of the bus. Being a freshman meant getting pushed around,losing seats on the bus, being picked on at noon, and given a few shoves during practices. Will we act like that in a couple of years?

There were reports to write, biology tests to take, and daily work to complete. There were several opportunities for extra curricular activities: bas- ketball, volleyball, football, wrestling, and track. In addition there were clubs and concerts. These were just a few of the things that helped to make the sophomore year fly by. After a long week of taking on those responsibilites, a soph- omore looked forward to the weekend. Whether it was cru- sing around McCook or just sitting in Doug's Place, a week- end helped to take off the pressure and give a sophomore the courage to face the new week. The sophomore class offi- What are Venessa Mehaffie, Richard Burke, Lori Witte, and John Smith doing during homeroom? cers were Brian DeVries, presi- dent; Misty Cotton, vice presi- dent; Deb Trosper, secretary; Lori Witte, treasurer; and Julie Wier and J. F. Hoffman, student council representatives. Jeana Jones loves those dead skin cells! 12 Time to cruise What was one of the favorite pasttimcs of sophomores? Cruising, of course! This was the year when everybody was turning sixteen and taking that long awaited trip to the county seat. About a week before, you dug out the driver's manual and crammed like crazy. All week long you worried that you would not pass your test, and you would have to go back the next week and retake it. How embarrassing!! Finally the big day came. All of your friends were telling you what to do and what not to do. On the way over, you got so nervous that you could not remember what any of the rules of the road were. You were so afraid that you were going to make some dumb mistake like turning your turn signal the wrong way. Everything went pretty smoothly once you got started. Finally, you received an awful picutre on a plastic card to carry around with you for the rest of your driving days. No more having to beg rides off of people, bugging Mom and Dad to drop you off somewhere, or hoping you got a date so you could go to McCook on the weekend. Now that sophomores had their drivers licenses, they could cruise just like the upperclassmen. Brian DeVries, Dour Witte, Deb Trosper, and Lori Witte ask). F. Hoffman where he got his car?

Left to right: Mary Harpst, LaVern Banzhaf, Rhonda Holtze, and Sharia Trosper; top: Jenni- fer Flammang. With only one more year left at Cambridge High, the Juniors were constantly on the go. The class of 1987 was small in number, but high on the list for spirit, dedication, and par- ticipation. One of the most exciting highlights for the class was the Junior-Senior Prom. The choos- ing of a theme and decorations and the anticipation was over- whelming. But it wasn't all fun, being such a small class the juniors had to work twice as hard to get everything accom- plished. The juniors also applied their talents into sports, plays, clubs, music, and, last but not least, academics. Other highlights for the Junior class of '87 were working concessions, selling magazines, receiving class rings, all of the shared embarassing moments, and being Mrs. Hoffman's guin- ea pigs for her English class. Highlights of some of the juniors this year were being class officers; namely, David Dragoo, president; Jennifer Flammang, vice president; Rhonda Holtze, secretary; Mary Harpst, treasurer; Sharia Tros- per and LaVern Banzhaf, stu- dent council representatives.

D. Raburn seem to be having a good laugh about something. The Senior class of 1986 gath- er for what could be a last special picture all together. Michelle Miller, Dain Trosper, Julie Kubik, B. J. Sandman, and Denise Hosick are just taking a break from their favorite business class. Bob Trosper asks Mike Price how he got his face to change colors for the big football game with Arapahoe. 16 In Memory of Timothy Patterson Tim Patterson was a cher- ished friend of the 1986 graduat- ing class. He attended Cam- bridge Elementary School until the beginning of fifth grade. His hobbies included horseback riding and playing on the play- ground with his friends. The days of Tim's life as a friend and classmate will long be remem- bered by many students and teachers. Tim was killed in a machin- ery accident on September 17, 1978. We travel through time to days now long gone; but your eyes, your smiling face we will never forget. When we remem- ber the fun we had in our younger days, we realize how much we miss you. Taking this time to remember helps us to realize what a great friend you still are in all of our hearts. We miss you, Tim! The Senior Class of 1986 17 • • • Class of 1986 From the Top The 1986 Seniors enjoyed their long awaited turn at the top. Four years ago as Freshmen they were pushed around by the upperclass- men. Now their time had come to put a little of their senior priority to work by claiming the back seat on buses and going to the front of the lunch line. Ffowever, don't think it was all fun and games! Those plan- ning on attending college had the endless hassle of mail from schools that were just dying to have you enroll. Those who weren't interest- ed in college had to decide What am I going to do with my life? This year was also the last chance for students to make the grade , and many found themselves hitting the books like never before. Thirty-six seniors elected as class officers: President Dennis Cor- nett, Vice President Steve Rice, Secretary Jim Druse, Treasurer Denise Hosick. Phillip Smith and Tim Hyke did not complete the year. Palle Johansen was an ex- change student from Denmark. His host parents were Gary and Kay Kapustka. Palle's comment on the year was It was a great year, and I'm ready to do it all again.

While the halls are empty and bare after school lets out in May, that doesn't mean the student's lives are empty also. It's hard to believe, but some students come to life and really start to live when schooltime turns to summertime. What do CHS students do during summertime? Well, one way a student spends summer is work- ing. Many students are found work- ing at home on the family farm, or working on a farm, lifeguarding at the city pool, and work is found at Doug's Place, Trosper's Dairy Creme, and even the Long Term Care Wing. Then, there's always babysitting. After the students get off work and want to kick back and relax, one of the most popular activities is heading out to Harry Strunk Lake for waterskiing, sunbathing, and seeing and being seen. Many guys are involved in Midget Legion baseball while the girls play a lot of softball. The students also look forward to some special activities that involve the community. Medi- cine Creek Days in Cambridge is a highlight of the summer and stu- dents also find time to attend other celebrations in surrounding com- munities. Some of the vacation destina- tions of CHS students are varied and could be anywhere from New York City to New Mexico. Not too many students travel on an international scale but several students would jump at the chance. There's no doubt about it. Summer is a special time that makes many memories for CHS student to look back on during some of those long, dreary, winter days. 22 STUDENT LIFE A day in the life of a student can be exciting, with many things to do and not enough time to do it, or the day can be a long, slow one. The following pages show just how a student either drudges through each day, or with a mixture of the right activities, the day and the year can be exciting and fulfill- ing. It's all just begi % That's right. The first year of high school is just the beginning and as usual the Freshmen's class schedule is pretty well planned out. Some of the classes were a little tough like Algebra I, which was a lot different than Junior High. And some classes were just 'al- right', like Geography. P.E. was a little different than past years. All Freshmen had to take P.E. and this year it was a coed class, the last class of the day. Other Freshmen classes were Crafts, French I; which one Freshmen called an experience , Home Economics, Physical Science; and all those worksheets, English, General Business, Industrial Arts, and par- ticipating in Band and Chorus. The first year is over and now Freshmen are looking forward to better (and busier) years!

One new experience was dissecting worms in Biology. Al- though many students thought it was fun, others disliked the odor. Another new experience for sophomores in Home Eco- nomics was organizing a Pre- School class. The Pre-School class ended with graduation with the mothers attending. Also during the class, hahies and toddlers were brought in to study their behavior. Another change for the so- phomores was the P.E. class. The class participated in han- dling bows and arrows, aerob- ics, badmitten, golf, and tennis. Most of the sophomores en- joyed the change. Top Photo: J. F.

With only two required classes (American History and English) the students were able to choose from ten other classes that were available. College bound individuals had the task of taking PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Apptitude Test), ACT tests and knew college was not too far in the future. The juniors mainly began preparing for their last year at CHS. Lavern Banzhaf is busy working on his industrial arts project. 26 Last year of high school As the last year of high school rolled around for the class of 1986, change took place and new horizons were opened. The choices of classes taken by the seniors increased with the choice of psychology, computer and College English. Computer class was a pop- ular class for eighteen seniors. Students did Basic program- ming, word processing, graph- ics, and spreadsheets. They vis- ited the local banks to see how computers were being used in banking. American Government contained new experiences for some seniors when they attend- ed County Government Day. Students were chosen to see how different county offices were run. The American Legion Auxiliary provided a lunch for the students who attended. An- other highlight in American Government was hearing Sara Morgan speak about her expe- riences as an exchange student to New Zealand. Other students remem- bered daily discussion in Col- lege English as something to look forward to or the play- ground equipment that the in- dustrial arts students assem- bled.

The band began the year performing as the football half time activities and the pep band played during the basketball games. The band then traveled to McCook where it received a second place trophy in the field competition and a first place trophy in the parade competi- tion at the McCook Band Day. At contest the band did well. It received a II rating (Ex- cellent). The Jazz Band received a I (Superior).

Kelly Niemeier received the National School Choral Award this year for being the most outstanding chorus member. The CHS Chorus was under the direction of Miss Joan Hankins. This year the chorus consisted of interested students in grades eight through twelve. The choir had been low in numbers in re- cent years and the extra members helped the choir a great deal in depth. The choir held many concerts during the year. This year a pre-contest concert was held for the public. At the district music contest the Mixed Chorus received a II and the Girls' Glee received a I (superior) rating. Jennifer Flammang and Kelly Niemeier received a I rating for their girls duet and Mark Eisenhart also received a I rating for his tenor solo. Middle Left: The Girls' Glee during the Spring Concert.

Among them were the topics of a Starving Population, Endangered Species, and Artifi- cial Intelligence. The teams attended three seminars in Hol- drege and used the experience from those seminars in dealing with the problems. Along with hard work, the teams also had fun. They had a chance to use interactive computer programs and panels of experts judged the problems. Two reporters also gave a presentation of their experiences in Africa. The intermediate team was coached by Mrs. Tenopir while the advanced team was coa- ched by Mr. Kapustka. These teams are pictured on the page. The junior team, coached by Mrs. Jorgensen, consisted of Kevin Banzhaf, Brian Borland, Chad Fuller, Staci Kubik, Todd Langley, and John Shoemaker. Problems Don Hosick — Working or daydream- ing?

The chapter proved to be a great success both locally and at state competition. With experienced leaders and devoted members this year's chapter proved to be a great organization. Many days of hard work went into compil- ing items and manuscripts to be sent to the state convention in Omaha. The chapter project of beocming more involved with the Chamber included helping with Christmas promotions and attending some Chamber lun- cheons. Several honors at the state level included: scrapbook recognition, Sweepstakes Award, eighth place for the An- nual Business Report, and sixth place for Money Management. Individual awards included an honorable mention in Business Systems and Procedures to Julie Kubik, an honorable mention in Business Law to Liz Liess, an honorable mention in Clerk Typist I to Lori Witte, and Dain Trosper received a Who's Who Among FBLA award.

They were: President Darren Wulf, Vice President Lavern Banzhaf, Sec- retary Scott Farr, Treasurer Scott TenBensel, Sentinel Tim Nicholson, and Reporter Rhonda Holtze. Some profi- ciency awards were also earned, and the FFA ended the year with a great feeling of accom- plishment. J4 Rhonda Holtze and other district reporters at State Convention. Off to a good start This was the second year for National Honor Society at Cam- bridge High School and the mem- bers, as well as the sponsor, Mrs. Hoffman, put their all into making this year a success. During the first semester, the previous years mem- bers performed a skit on etiquette for the junior high and high school that was sure to make a lasting im- pression, not to mention a few laughs. In the spring they sponsored the annual Senior-Faculty basket- ball game and yes, the student body regrets to report that the faculty did come out on top again this year.

Activities keep Pep Club busy The 1985-1986 Pep Club worked hard to make this year a success. It consisted of twen- ty-five members who spent a lot of time on fund raising activi- ties. They sold flowers for Homecoming, Valentine's Day, and operated the concession stand at football games. Besides fund raising, there were many other activities and events which the Pep Club held and sponsored. During Home- coming they became Secret Pals for the football guys. The Pep Club girls were assigned a locker and would then leave cookies, candy, and notes in them to help boost their home- coming spirit. The Pep Club also decorated the gym for the dance. The Pep Club was also re- sponsible for the cleaning of the football field after every game. When Christmas came around, the Pep Club were Secret Santas for each other. Each girl was given a Secret Santa and would provide them with little gifts and notes the week before Christmas. At the end of the week they had a Christmas party and all the Secret Santas were unveiled and gifts were exchanged. The Pep Club also sponsored dances for high school mem- bers. Attendance at ballgames and wrestling matches found Pep Club members at home games and RVL Conference athletic events. The officers were: Becky Bi- ble, president; Machelle Witler, vice president; Karen Schroe- der, secretary; Kelly Niemeier, treasurer; and Jennifer Flam- mang, Student Council. Spon- sors were Miss Hankins and Mrs. Carla Gardner. 36 Left: The 1985-1986 Trojan Cheerleaders were from left to right, bottom row: Allison Fet- ters, Jennifer Hammang, and Becky Bible.

Answer: Nothing at all. These are just a few of the topics that were talked about in Speech Class. This year's speech class only sent one person to State Speech Contest, but as a team placed higher at RVL and district than the year before. Although sev- eral of the speeches taken to contest were interesting, the best ones never left the class- room. They were either stupid. funny, or needed to be cen- sored. You could tell what room had the speech class in it, be- cause there was never a silent moment. Palle Johansen placed second at RVL Speech Contest and first at districts. This qualified him to compete at State Speech Con- test. Jennifer Flammang, Dain Trosper, Rhonda Holtze, Lavern Banzhaf, and David Dragoo were the only others who placed at either RVL or districts.

With the help of National Honor Society, they purchased a new marquis. The Student Council again sponsored the Christmas Party with videos from Duran Duran and a special visit from Santa Claus.

Some of these ideas were completely new while others were new to this era but had been seen in previous years. Some of the top fashion concepts for the year were big shirts, Legoons, shaker knits, and unlaced high top sneakers. The top hairstyles for the year were the bob and flat-tops, which were also the same styles many students might have seen their parents wearing in their high school yearbooks. Coca- Cola was not only a soft drink but also a new line of sports- wear, definitely a new idea. The name Swatch was new in the fashion world and very popular as a brand of colorful watches and accessories. Floral and pais- ley prints were also popular in shirts and blue jeans. Movies in 1986 were very big and included some new box office blockbusters as well as V Rock Me Amadeus-Falco Manic Monday-The Bangles Broken Wings-Mr. Mister The Glory of Love-Peter Cetera Separate Lives-Phil Collins Marilyn Mar (in Take On Me-a-ha We Built This City-Starship Kiss-Prince and the Revolution I Can't Wait-Nu Shooz Sledgehammer-Peter Gabriel I'm Your Man-Wham! West End Girls-Pet Shop Boys Why Can't This Be Love-Van Halen Live To Tell-Madonna I Want To Be A Cowboy-Boy's Don't Cry 40 movies, and music many sequels to movies of past years. Michael J. Fox became fa- mous in movies as well as televi- sion in the very popular 'Back to the Future', and Molly Ring- wald made yet another mean- ingful teen movie in 'Pretty in Pink'. Mikhail Barishnikov made his movie debut with Gregory Hines in 'White Knights' and Robert Redford stared in two of the years best in 'Out of Africa' with Meryle Streep and 'Legal Eagles' a comedy-thriller with Debra Winger and Daryl Han- nah. This year was full of sepuels from past years blockbusters, some of which were: 'Nightmare on Elm Street Part II', 'Karate Kid II', 'Poltergeist II', and (unbelieveable as it is!) 'Friday the 13th Part6'! Sylvfester Stallone chalked up two more of his many movies starring himself with 'Rambo: First Blood Part II' and 'Rocky IV' where America's number one fighter took on a Russian named Draco. The music world in 1986 was full of changes and new ad- ditions. One of the most popul- ar songs for the year was 'Rock Me Amadeus' by Falco a new singer from Austria. The Bangles hit it big with their song 'Manic Monday' which was written by Prince, while he held his own with songs from the soundtrack of his new movie. Phil Collins had many hits throughout the year solo and also with his old band Genesis whose other members Mike Rutherford and Peter Gabriel also had 1 songs. A new group, A-ha, the first ever from Nor- way, made a good impression with their 1 song 'Take On Me' and Starship had a hit in 'We Built this City' after several unsuccessful attempts and three name changes. Wham! broke up in the middle of the year with member George Mi- chael doing good things on his own, and Van Halen traded ex- leadsinger David Lee Roth for Sammy Haagar, a change that many fans welcomed whole- heartedly. Madonna married actor Sean Penn but still record- ed and hit big with songs like 'Live to Tell' and 'Papa Don't Preach' from her 'True Blue' al- bum. All told the year 1986 was very big in these three catego- ries and will be remembered for years to come.

Not only did the Trojans emerge as powerful and feared opponents in our traditionally strong sports, some of our ath- letic teams came out of the clos- et so to speak, and challenged the top teams to come out more often than not on the winning end. 41 Jennifer Nammang battles at the net with an opponent. Net season spells success The 1985 volleyball season drew a true picture of what hardwork and teamwork can do to make a successful season. The Trojans had a record of 13-5 to end one of the most successful volleyball seasons seen in Cambridge. The Trojans were also rated in the Omaha World Herald Top Ten throughout the season and ended up with the RVL League Championship. But the highlight of the season was the Homecoming game against arch-rival Republican Valley. The six seniors pulled everyone together with their leadership and the Trojans came out the victors. The Mustangs had beaten the Trojans once in 1985 at the McCook Tournament. Revenge was sweet for the Trojans in a two set slam session that showed the fans and the Mustangs how volleyball should be played. That victory was the first time in 10 years the Trojans have beaten Republican Valley in volleyball action. The season ended on a down note however when the Trojans lost a district final berth to Alma in a three set thriller. The girls set high goals for themselves and the state berth was one of the few goals that didn't materialize. A state berth would have fulfilled dreams of many. especially those of the six seniors who saw their high school volleyball careers end that night. The Junior Varsity also had a successful season with a win over Republican Valley, and the freshman-sophomore team took first at a tourna- ment in Alma. Next year looks bright with many faces returning from the Varsity team and many girls are expected to challenge for spots on the team and push for greater success. The 1985 captains were Billie Jo Sandman and Liz Liess. Post-season honors went to Liz Liess: 1st Team All-Conference; B. J. Sandman: 2nd Team All-Conference; Karen Schroeder: Hon. Men- tion; and Machelle Witler: All-State Recognition. Varsity. Front row: Coach Nelson, Lori Witte, Karen Schroeder, Machelle Wit- ler, Julie Kubik, B. J.

FOOTBALL The pride was back for the Trojan football team this year. After being put down by the Omaha World Herald as having such a terrible re- cord the team showed they could do it! The most surprising part of the season was almost making it into the State Playoffs. We tied for the RVL Championship. However, R.V. qualified for the playoffs after we suffered a 12-7 heartbreaking loss. But we still just missed qualifying for the top 16 teams by .16 of a point , Coach Fuller com- mented. So the Trojans finished the year as the 17th team in Class C-2. Some of the other high- lights of the season that Coach Fuller commented on were tieing for the RVL Championship, which was a wonderful part of the season, and, of course, beating an old rival of CHS, the Arapahoe Warriors for the first time in over 5 years. Coach Fuller said that next year's season will be tough with only 5 Senior boys on the team and he anticipates other teams that we'll play will be tough; Hershey, Arapahoe, and, as always, North Platte St. Pat's. Coach Fuller believes the outlook for the team looks good for a couple of years to come but the key will be how well the younger players will play early in the season. Coach Fuller said that the title of this page, 'The Pride is Back', really describes this year's football team. We turned one more corner, but we're not all the way around the block, yet , commented Coach Fuller. LEFT: Tim Hyke on the bench after being injured.

The girls ended their season with a record of five wins and eight losses. With six experienced letterwinners returning (Julie Kubik, Liz Liess, Billie Jo Sandman, Machelle Witler, Andie Harsch, and Lori Witte) the Trojans knew a long road lay ahead. When the Lady Trojans defeated the Arapahoe Warriors in the first game of the season by a score of 42-30, things were looking promising. However, as they contin- ued to play they lost two consecutive games before earning another victory. As second year Coach Jeff Mollring said After a fair start in the first part of the Girls Basketball season, it dimmed in January and rebounded in February. The Junior Varsity team had a terrific season by ending their year with a record of 5-3. There were many young players on Junior Varsity who gained valuable game experience. Their experi- ence should help the team in years to come. Picking up post season honors were Senior Billie Jo Sandman receiving second team RVL honors and Freshman MariLyn DeVries receiving second team RVL and all-state honorable mention honors in C-2. Miss DeVries led the team in total points with 175 and led in offensive rebounds with 48 and defensive with 85. Senior Billie Jo Sandman led in assists with 25 and steals with 38. uphill climb Andie Harsch and MariLyn DeVries go up for a rebound.

This year's record of 13-5 was a great improvement on the 5-11 re- cord from the previous season. Coach Schoenfish commented Winning attitudes have been season for achieved. Look for good things in the coming years. The two teams that caused the most problems were Oxford and Republican Valley. The reserves were also quite successful this year with a 11-1 Trojans record. Their only loss was to Republican Valley. The Fresh- man-Sophomore Tournament hosted by Cambridge was won by the Trojans. Reserves: Front row.

At the first meet of the year, the Cambridge-Alma-Republican Valley triangular, the Trojans came so close to ending Rep. Valley's state winning streak in dual matches. Coming so close to beating a great rival helped build up the team's determina- tion and goals, and this determi- nation began to show. The Trojans were 7-2 in dual matches for the year, placed first at their hosted tournament, and they were RVL Champions which was only the second time a Trojan wrestling team had ever won the RVL Tournament. But the highlight of the whole season was winning the District Meet. This year's team was the first Cambridge wrestling team to win their District. The Tro- jans came out on top with 132 points and 7 state qualifiers. They were Freshman Virgil Ban- zhaf, 132; Sophomores Tim Sex- ton, 119 and Travis Arnolcj, 138; Junior I aVern Banzhaf, 167; and Seniors Jim Phillips, 126, Denny Cornett, 155 and Clayton Hampton, Hwt. At state the team placed 11th with Denny placing 4th, Jim and Travis each placing 6th. This was a great year for the wrestling team and next year's team should be just as surprising and determined for a good season.

Girls Track Stronger than ever When the 1986 track sea- son finally arrived there was a lot of serious thinking going on. Everyone was asking themselves Do I go out for track or do I want to live? The reason for all of the doubt was the result of different coaches. Laurie Laue and Renae Nelson took over girls track. Everybody knew they were tough in volleyball, but they were killers in track! Despite all of the tired girls, the hard work paid off. The girl's track team was stronger than it has been for a few years. A lot of the girls were inexperienced in their events but did well anyway. They worked hard, tried new events, and showed people what they could do. There was one state qualifi- er for the Cambridge girls this year. Karen Schroeder always jumped from event to event and this year found the one that was right for her. She earned her place at state in the 300 me- ter low hurdles, a new state event. Lori Witte, Kari Kester, and Julie Flammang take a break during Cambridge Relays. Elizabeth Dana, Leslie Hornberger, Billie Jo Sandman, and Karen Schroeder made up the 1600 meter relay team.

In a matter of about 5 seconds, mil- lions of thoughts ran through the minds of the runners get- ting ready to race. They wanted a quick start and a relaxed feel- ing. They didn't want to jump the gun either. It takes a lot of concentration to run a good race and that is exactly what the boys track team had this year. Cambridge was tough competition at every track meet. They had strength in the running and field events and placed first at several track meets. The team was lead by the hurdlers and relay teams. They had three guys usually placing in the hurdles with Kyle Kubik taking first in the 100 meter high hurdles and 300 meter in- termediate hurdles at most meets. The 400 meter relay team consistently placed high along with the 1600 meter relay team. At the state track meet Kyle Kubik ran the 100 meter high hurdles, 300 meter intermedi- ate hurdles, and a leg on the 1600 meter relay team. Also on the 1600 meter relay team was Kip Kester, Doug Witte, and Virgil Banzhaf. The relay did an excellent job at state!

The Trojan golfers partici- pated in seven golf meets and had the opportunity of hosting the RVl tournament for the 85- 86 season. They had two first places as a team, won at the Cambridge Invitational and the Wauneta Invitational. They won three second place trophies: at The Trojan golf team.

These events have tradition and they hold a certain aura of magic for everyone in- volved. A lot of time is spent on the organization of these events so everything will be run smoothly and good times will be had by all. 59 The traditional burning of CHS lights up Homecoming festivities.

Homecoming 1985 was a success from the beginning of the week until the dance on Saturday night. With a theme like Crazy in the Night how could you go wrong? Everyone participated during the week in the different theme days among which were Clash Day, Color Day, Kiddie Day, It Ain't Easy Bein Green Day, and Beach Day. Also, everyone got into the spirit this year by painting their cars. A lot of work went into this and a little friendly competition went along with the paint in preparation for the big night. Perhaps the only down note of Homecoming 1985 was the heartbreak loss to Republican Valley in the football game, although the volleyball teams (Varsity and JV) came away with victories to save face. So it was a bittersweet evening that night as the Cambridge Homecoming tradition was kept alive with the burning of the CHS and the crowning of Homecoming Royalty: Denny Cor- nett-King, and Susan Jones-Queen. Homecoming 1985 will be a time for the seniors to look back on with fondness as many special memories were born during Crazy in the Night , their last Homecoming at CHS. For the rest of the students, it always gives them some- thing to look forward to. With an example like Crazy in the Night to follow, you could safely bet an anticipation of what is to come in the next Homecoming will follow students always. Jr.-Sr. Prom Till the Clock strikes Midnight The 1986 prom had a Cinderella theme complete with a horse drawn coach. Fortunately, this coach didn't turn into a pumpkin on that fateful hour. The juniors participated in a variety of fund raisers in order to put on the prom, and their efforts did not go unappreciated when the gym was opened and everyone saw the results of their hard work. Some of the special decorations included a castle, a gazebo, a pond full of swans, and a clock. The band was Centar from Lincoln, and they did a great job of keeping the crowd en- tertained. The prom King and Queen were Scott tenBensel and Machelle Witler who were chosen by the juniors.

This year's all school play, a comedy-murder mystery about a girl named Sweet-Pea (Becky Bible) who, out of re- venge, poisoned people with chocolate, was one of the all time greats. The play began with Lady Riverdale (Liz Liess) speaking with Dyslexia (Kim Kapustka) about the grand reopening of her health resort which used to belong to the late Henry Mea- dowbrook (Roz Buddenberg). Lady Riverdale is also known the world over for her chocolate company. When Edith Chiles (Rhonda Holtze), world famous cook show host, and Ralph Dead- wood (Steve Rice), the gym manager, are mysteriously poi- soned, questions begin to arise. Ed Parlor (Dain Trosper) and John Stone (Mark Eisenhart) begin playing detectives and start snooping around for clues. They question Anne (B. J. Sand- man), the nurse, because she has access to the medical sup- plies. During the investigation the killers reveal themselves. Margaret Daniels (Sheryl Stine), who is really Judith Marx of the State Police steps in and foils Al- fred (Chris Eisenhart) and Above Right: Cast members take time to have their picture taken.

When the director, Roz Buddenberg was asked about the casts' participation, he said, I think the cast was very enthu- siastic and they all did really well in portraying their characters in the play.

The annual Athletic Banquet this year was characterized by some changes that made a big impact on the program format of the banquet. Some changes were well received by both the student body and faculty. For instance, the athletic letters were given to the athletes at the Banquet instead of waiting until Awards Night to do so. This made the Athletic Banquet a little longer, but it greatly cut down on the always long Awards ceremony. One change that was not well received by the students was the decision not to have an Athletic Dance. This was a tradition at CHS and the importance of the Athletic Banquet was lessened without the dance. However, the speaker for the banquet caught everybody's atten- tion as he gave a very informative and interesting presentation. The speaker, Mr. Milt Tenopir, talked about an athlete's role in society and how he is looked on in the community. Mr. Tenopir is an assis- tant coach in the University of Nebraska football program.

As they readied them- selves for graduation they look- ed back on fond memories. From grade school sweethearts to junior high schedules and finally to high school craze; all of these with special moments in each senior's life. The valedictorian for the class of 1986 was Denny Cornett and the salutatorian was Mark Eisen- hart. As Julie Kubik presented the class history most of the Senior Class spent time remem- bering their classmate Tim Pat- terson who was killed in a machinery accident. The an- nouncements had a special place in the seniors' hearts as well with a poem written by classmate by Dain Trosper. The class flower was the blue tipped white rose with wonder white and princess blue as the class colors. The class chose as their motto For us, this is not the end, but only the beginning for yesterday holds memories of the past and tomorrow vis- ions of hope.

Why this change of for- mat ? Well, it gives a boost to the historical value of the book when you're able to keep an ac- curate record of students as they progress through their schooling. We want some feed- back from you! 73 Children begin an adventure Kindergarten Kindergarten was a new and rewarding challenge for most children as they devel- oped skills and very inquisitive minds. Mrs. Marilyn DeVries de- scribed many new and interest- ing things that took place throughout the year. Special days included the Circus Day when a circus was held in the room with the children dressed as a circus character. The chil- dren also visited the Cambridge Museum and rode the fire truck. The kindergarten class consisted of thirty-six students with nineteen attending in the- morning and seventeen in the afternoon. Morning Section Mrs. DeVries has her class take time for a picture at the museum.

First Grade Children make big achievements First grade teachers, Col- leen Johnson and Mary Jo Vontz spoke very highly of the year's achievements for their first graders. One of the more educa- tional experiences that took place during the year was the work done on the computer. Programs included Sticky Bear Math, spelling, and rhyming words. A special highlight for the students were Retha Jones bringing a turkey for them to observe and two of the students bringing some opossums to school. Mrs. Vontz commented that this was the first time she had seen this animal. Many of the children won free personal pan pizzas through the Book It contest sponsored by Pizza Hut. A free pizza was earned for every six books they read. To complete their unit on breakfasts, they held a cereal tasting contest and studied the nutritional value of cereals. Parties were also a big,thing with the class this year. One ex- citing party was the baby show- er given for Mrs. Vontz and her baby. The children enjoyed meeting Marcus. One of the special holiday parties held this year was the Thanksgiving play given for the children's parents and the second and third grade classes.

Second Grade Another busy year The Second Grade had a very exciting and interesting year, especially in their social studies class which was taught by Mrs. Hein. One of the high- lights included a Japanese tea party and Alice Harpst showing many items from her visit to Ja- pan. The science class, taught by Miss Nelson, involved watching a weekly television program called Zoo, Zoo, Zoo. A program on drugs and drug abuse was presented to the elementary as a puppet show encouraging them to say no to drugs. They were also given the opportunity to see samples of drugs. Mrs. Hein's class enjoyed their Pizza Hut Pizza Party won through their participation in the Read-lt program. Holidays were a special time for the children. Along with the celebrating, they also found time to make cards for their parents on several occa- sions.

During the year the students observed and cared for a hampst- er family, three snakes, and a turtle. The class had a very exciting year with Mrs. Dee Shifflet as their teacher. To spark interest in read- ing, the students were involved in the Pizza Hut Read-it Contest. They were to read a certain number of books to earn a free pizza. At the end of the contest Mrs. Shifflet treated the class to a hot dog roast at her home. Be- sides reading books, the class also used the computer twice a week where they received extra prac- tice with multiplication and read- ing. Students use sign language to sing Sing a Rainbow at the spring concert. Students at front desks (Tonya Ralston, Brian Holtze, Tommy Shoemaker, and Marisa Mollring) are busy checking math papers.

Thje students enjoyed the annual trip to Pioneer Village. During the year they took four minute time tests dealing with addition, multiplication, division, and subtraction. After the entire class had passed the tests, they had a popcorn party to celebrate. The students began their instru- mental career by playing record- ers in the spring music concert under the direction of Joan Han- kins.

One of the activities during the study was a field trip to Fort Kearney. At the end of the unit they prepared a typical pioneer dinner for their parents. For some of the other twenty-four fifth graders, their highlight might have been starting band and learning how to play an instrument for the first time. Roger Hein was the teacher.

From ele- mentary to Junior High was a big jump so the beginning of the year was a little new to them. After the first week things were in Junior going smoother, they began to relax and actually enjoy the thrills of Junior High life. They found out that Junior High wasn't so bad after all. This was the first year that they were High playing in the games insted of watching from the sidelines. They met many new friends during their games and will look forward to seeing them again next year. Sherri Braaten Shannon Brougham Terry Burton Damon Colson Darcy Deselms Chris Dezonia John Dutton B.

Their activ- ities ranged from eating in Home Ec to having Jr. High dances. Their chorus and band was linked with the high school, so they had many new expe- riences in those classes too. They served at Athlet- ic Banquet and got their first taste of what it's like to actually feed someone besides themselves. Jr. High has prepared them well for the four years of high school that are ahead of them. It has also held some good times that many of them will never for- get.

The members that made up the 7th and 8th grade this year now know what it is really like to compete with other schools, and join in high school activities. The 7th and 8th grades had a lot of success in their athletic endeavors in the past year with an undefeated season in foot- ball, one loss in basketball, and four track trophies on the boys side, and the girls came out as the Beaver City Tournament volleyball champs, and started what looks to be a promising basketball tradition, and some consistent high finishes in track competition. This was also the first year the 8th grade has been included in the high school chorus. The 8th grade gave the chorus a new dimension and the continued band involvement created a lot of positive interaction between the Junior High and High School. Becoming a high school stu- dent is the goal of all Junior High students, but they shouldn't forget the memories they have of Junior High. Doug Liess shows good form as he brings home another victory. Sharia Smith and Margo Kubik can look at the camera but two unidentified friends can't seem to smile. i Some seventh grade students ap- pear to be getting hands on experi- ence with map work in Social Studies. oa ADVERTISING Without the support of the advertisers in this book, there would be no yearbook to thumb through and sign, or to enjoy in later years while remin- scing about what used to be. A lot of work goes into the adver- tising section, so look through these pages and try to give a word of thanks to the busi- nesses whom you see listed. 89 CERAMIC WORLD Cambridge 697-3834 DEGROFFS FAW MOTOR CO.

The tragedy of the Challenger shuttle crew has kept newspapers and tele- vision busy with informing the public about the aftermath of the accident and the subse- quent NASA administration shake-up. The centennial of Lady Liberty's arrival in New York was celebrated through the spring and summer of 1986. On a more local scale, the community of Cambridge em- barked on a major recreation- al improvement program with the building of a new pool (the pool house building is shown here and the project was completed in mid-June), along with a new tennis court facility. A new golf course with grass greens is now un- der construction with comple- tion targeted for 1987. Other newsworthy items in 1986 affecting the lives of the American people include the fear of international travel because of terrorist hijack- ings and bomb attacks and the death and de- struction they have caused. Also in the news and connected with the terrorism was the United States air attack on Libya as a protest to that country's support of terrorist organizations. On the state level, Nebraska chalked one up for the ERA when for the first time ever two women were nominated through the primary to run head to head for governor's office. 10} A Ahlemeyer, Jeff 81 Ahlemeyer, Joey 81 Ahlemeyer, Lori 76 Allen, Amber 77 Allen, Chris 76 Allen, Shawn 73, 86 Arnold, Travis 12, 39, 45, 51 B Baker, Sherri 4, 18, 28, 29, 31, 52, 59, 63, 69, 71 Banzhaf, Britt 29, 86 Banzhaf, Kevin 83 Banzhaf, Lavern 3, 4, 8, 14, 15, 26, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 45, 51, 67 Banzhaf, Shauna 10, 24, 29, 43 Banzhaf, Virgil 10, 11, 39, 45, 51, 54, 55 Barker, Becky 87 Benson, Jason 78 Benson, Joe 83 Besler, Brenda 83 Besler, Karen 18, 59, 63 Besler, Randy 83 Besler, Roland 10, 45 Bible, Becky 18, 29, 30, 31, 36, 37, 59, 61, 63, 64 Bible, Bobby 83 Borland, Brian 83 Borland, Carolyn 7 Borland, Chris 29, 30, 86, 87 Borland, Greg 78 Braaten, Shannon 86 Braaten, Sherri 84 Brooks, Gary 10, 24, 34, 45, 54 Brooks, Greg 80 Brooks, Missy 79 Brooks, Rebecca 74 Brougham, Kristi 12, 25, 39, 46, 47, 52 Brougham, Shannon 84 , Brown, Amy 7 Brown, Benji 82 Brown, Heith 81 Brown, Isreal 77 Brown, Jeremy 82 Brown, John 12, 25, 34 Brown, Kathy 6 Brown, Lucas 82 Brown, Mary 3, 10, 24 Brown, Nicholas 76 Brown, Robert 77 Brown, Samantha 76 Buddenberg, Roz 64, 81 Burke, Abbie 74 Burke, Cheryl 10, 24, 47 Burke, Heidi Jo 81 Burke, Randy 83 Burke, Richard 12, 25, 34, 45, 54 Burke, Ryan 78 Burke, Sheryl 43 Burke, Tobie 83 Burton, Dawn 77 104 Index Burton, Shawn 82 Burton, Terry 84 C Carbaugh, Jerry 10, 45, 48, 56 Chitwood, Chris 10, 24, 45, 48, 56 Cobb, Jason 81 Cobb, Travis 75 Collicott, Gordon 10, 24, 45, 51, 56 Collicott, Melissa 82 Colson, Damon 84 Colson, lennifer 86, 87 Colson, Jenny 29 Colson, Shawn 4, 12, 25, 45, 48 Colson, Tracey 10, 24, 28, 29, 33, 45 Corder, Shannon 10, 65 Cornett, Chris 82 Cornett, Denny 2, 6, 18, 23, 28, 29, 31, 32, 35, 37, 39, 50, 51, 59, 60, 63, 66, 69 Cornett, Pam 10, 24, 29, 43 Cotton, Misty 12, 23, 25, 29, 30, 35, 36, 39, 43, 52, 53 Cotton, Staci 82 Cotton, Teresa 29, 30, 86 D Dana, Elizabeth 3, 10, 11, 24, 29, 36, 43, 46, 47, 52, 53 David, Alex 75 Davis, Jon 45, 51 DeVries, Brian 12, 13, 34, 39, 41, 45, 48, 49, 54 DeVries, MariLyn 4, 10, 24, 29, 43, 46, 52 DeVries, Marilyn 43, 74, 75 Deselms, Darcy 84 Deterding, Bart 79 Deterding, Brooque 77 Deterding, Shannon 81 Dezonia, Chris 84, 88 Dezonia, Tom 78 Dragoo, David 4, 14, 28, 29, 31, 33, 38, 39, 45 Druse, Jim 5, 6, 18, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 39, 41, 45, 59, 60, 61, 63, 65 Druse, Tom 10, 29, 45, 48, 49, 56, 57 Dutton, John 84 E Eisenhart, Chris 10, 11, 24, 30, 32, 45, 50, 51, 56, 64 Eisenhart, Mark 18, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 35, 39, 45, 56, 59, 63, 64, 65, 66, 69 Elder, B.

The books sold for $16 or $17 with printed name on the cover. Expenses were subsi- dized from sales and adver- tising by local merchants. Optima and Optima Bold was the style used for all type. Headings were 30 and 36 point with subheadings 18 and 24. The paper stock chosen was a matte finish. The endsheets were white. The books were trimmed to 7 3 4 x 10 1 2. The cherry red cover featured students in the high school. Comtran was used for copy on the layouts. Cathcart Photography provided the group pic- tures and student individual pictures. Senior pictures were from the photogra- phers taking the student's senior pictures. Other pho- tographs were taken by members of the yearbook staff. 107 Another year has ended The end of the school year marks the end of this issue of the Trojan Guide. The last week of school found students taking final exams, turning in books, cleaning out desks or lockers, saying good-byes, and shouting for joy that school was out. Students who worked on this book found their year not finished as they wrote copy and prepared layouts during the summer. They have made addi- tions and changes in the book to make it a special edition for each of its readers. It was hoped that it would be enjoyed now and in the future as one recalled the memories of the 1985-86 school year. Top Right: Troy Mousel gladly accepts his locker key refund as the final step in senior checkout from Mr. Stine. Above: Students take time to chat before departing the school for the summer. Middle Right: Elementary students scatter as they leave loaded with papers and school supplies on the last day of school. Right: Rain the last week of school meant Field Day in the gym with these students racing to find their shoes. 106 mWALS WORTH PUBLISHING COMPANY I I I mWALS WORTH PUBLISHING COM PANY MARCELINE MISSOURI t' •
