The 1983-84 juniors are a class that consists of many types of people. They range from the smart, studious, trying-to-get-ahead sorts to the people who are in school because there's no where else to be. A burden every student must face at one point in his her high school career is the thought of after-life.'' Pressure is applied on students to predict what lies ahead in the next 20-30 years of their lives. Some juniors have definite views on what the future holds for them while some still sound a bit unsure of themselves. Jeanie Clausen sounds definite in saying, Going to Dana College in Blair, Neb. four years and getting mar- ried. (Some certain Texan, Jeanie?) These juniors are involved in many out-of-school ac- tivities. Some of the more popular hobbies are hunting (Jay N.), eating (Angie W.), cooking (Joy C.), watching T.V. (Beth H.), and shopping (Amy S.). Bill Baylor's hobbies are fooling around with his stereo and listening to music. A common taste in music with these juniors is rock. Quiet Riot and Def Leppard rate high on the list while Bob Hansen holds out for songs like Love in the 1st Degreeas does Bill Coats in saying his favorite song is Sweet Home Alabama. The most enjoyed sports are football and basketball, although there was a variety of ones listed. Janelle Wolf replied, Woffle ball... Have you ever been biffed by a bat?” Jason Roberts, a very flexible junior came to a conclusion that kick-box was his most favored sport. There were many remarks on the uniqueness of this class. Mark Jensen replied, Marty!!, then went on Everyone sticks together — no one is too good for someone else!” Angie Wahlerl, pres. Amy Schroeter, V. pres. Sue Hill, sec. Sandra Christensen, treas.

Pres. — Chris Meyer V. Pres. — Monica Petersen Sec. Treas. —Amy Rockwell omoreA If there is any class that is known for its varie- ty, it is this year's sophomores, the class of '86. When asked what major events they expected to occur by 1996, most said that they expected a nuclear war. One reason for this may be the recent controversy started by tne ABC movie. The Day After, which simulated a nuclear attack against the home of Worlds of Fun and the Royals in Kan- sas City, Missouri. Also on the serious side, sophomores felt that today's major problem in the world was war. Jeff Petersen commented, Our major problem lies in the Middle East. They were also in agreement over the major problem facing teenagers today. Drugs and alcohol topped the list. Judy Petersen also felt that picking a career and finding a job were major teenage problems. On the lighter side, students were asked what their favorite subjects in school were. Doug Harms said that he liked woods. Mr. Roy makes it a fun class. he commented. Other reactions were mixed. Advanced algebra, biology, and English 10 were other favorites. Subjects the sophomores would like to see in school ranged from electronics, ROTC, and vocational courses to foreign languages. Pat Petersen would like to see archery and trap shooting in P.E. It's fun! he exclaimed. Favorite sports of the sophomores ran along the traditional lines of football, basketball, soccer, and volleyball. Some, like Rodney Hansen, enjoy hunting while Carol London partakes in softball. Favorite hobbies of the class were varied, to say the least. Mitchell Coglon said that he enjoyed three-wheelin, Jeff Fowble liked to drive vehicles, and Teresa Albersen liked “going out on weekends, having fun, watching good movies, eating food, and being with friends. Where does she find time for schoolwork? When it comes to movies, Exira sophomores have many varied tastes. Rocky III and Star Wars movies tied for first, with others like Joe Muhr's favorite, Strange Brew, Mike Immel prefers D.C. Cab and Cindy Wiskus likes Porky's II. Favorite actors and actresses range from soap stars such as Paul Regina and John Stamos to sex symbols like Joan Collins and Heather Locklear. Old favorites such as Sylvester Stallone were also mentioned. Most of the class enjoyed rock music. Most liked were Quiet Riot songs such as Cum on Feel the Noize and Metal Health. Chris Meyer, however, likes the classical sound. Act III of Die Walkure by Richard Wagner is ex- hilarating, he said. What are the future plans of students in the class? Judy Petersen and Teresa Albertsen each want to be beauticians, Mitchell Coglon and Mike Immel want to farm, and Chris Meyer would like to be a military officer. Many students are as of yet undecided. Some are going to college and others will look for work as soon as they graduate in 1986.
