Casey Education makes people easy to lead but difficult to drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave. This fall there was a big change when students returned to old EHS. All summer, work had been done remodeling the high school building. Workers had scraped all the plaster containing asbestos from the ceiling that had been damaged by leaking water. The roof had been worked on. New lighting had been installed in the halls, cafeteria and library, as well as, carpeting in the library. In October a re-dedication ceremony was held in the high school gymnasium because, as it happened, this was the 25th anniversary of the high school building. Members of the class of 1960, the first class to graduate from the building, were present. Past administrators and members of the community who were involved in the development of the new school reminisced. The band and chorus performed. A time capsule was filled with memorabilia from this year in our school. A reception and open house were held after the program in the cafeteria. 1) Lester Haskins mugs for the photographer. 2) The camera person gets a smile from Julio Torres, EHS' foreign exchange student from Brazil who lived with the Gary Van Aernam's. 3) Mr. Mossman speaks at the re-dedication ceremony.

High School Fall Musical The high school fall musical was My Fair Lady, a musical adaptation of George Bernard Show's Pygma- lion. This was presented Friday and Saturday night, Nov. 9 and 10, at 7:30 p.m. Was it a question that Janelle Wolf, Chris Meyer, Bill Baylor, Mark Jen- sen, Lisa Paulsen, Monica Petersen, and Teresa Wolf could learn their parts in the play? Well, of course, stated John Walker. I was really im- pressed that the actors picked up their accents so well. That really created an English flavor to the production. I thought our set and costumes were, also, better than usual. Ms. Jackie Paulsen stated, They really worked hard at becoming their characters. They had lots of dialogue to learn and had to speak it in an accent which was difficult, but all managed to do it very well. When asked if they had any embarrassing moments, Janelle Wolf replied, Having my skirt fall off. Shanna and Karen started laughing and couldn't stop. When asked if they were glad they were a part of the play, they thought it was a lot of fun. Janelle thought that it went really well. The people were very well into character. I think it was fun doing different dialects. Chris Meyer stated, 1 feel that this musical was a success not only for the quality of the cast, crew, and directors, but for the support given these by the parents and school administration. The story was about a phonetics professor, Henry Higgins (Mark Jensen), who makes a wager with his friend. Colonel Pick- ering (Chris Meyer), that he can turn a common ignorant flower girl, Eliza Doolittle (Janelle Wolf), into an elegant young woman. An interesting subplot concerns Eliza's father, Alfred Doolittle (Bill Baylor), and his philosophy of life. The story is set in London in 1912. Songs in the musical are as follows: 1 Could Have Danced All Night, Get Me To, The Church On Time, On The Street Where You Live , and I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face. Tickets were $3.00 for adults, and $2.00 for students. This production was possible through an arrangement with Tams- Wid-Mark Music Library, New York, New York. The main members of the play were as follows: Henry Higgins- Mark Jensen, Colonel Pickering-Chris Meyer, Eliza Doolittle- Janelle Wolf, Alfred Doolittle-Bill Baylor, Mrs. Higgins-Lisa Paulsen, Freddy Einsford-Hill-Steve Hansen, and Mrs. Pierce- Jane Andersen. 1) The freshmen wave as their float rolls by the spectators during the homecoming parade. 2) The 1984-85 queen and her court: Sue Hill, queen; Jan- elle Wolf, princess; Beth Hackwell, countess; and Theresa Wheeler, duchess. 3) Last year's homecom- ing queen.

Almost every class decorated a float and had it in the parade. However, this year the windows uptown weren't painted. This year Spirit Week had a few changes. Sign Up Day was dropped and replaced by Toga Day. On Mon- day it was Shade and Hat Day. For this, everyone wore hats and their sunglasses. Tuesday was Toga Day. Each person was encouraged to wear a sheet as in the movie ANIMAL HOUSE. On Wednesday everybody donned cowboy boots and hats. This date was desig- nated Western Day. Thursday was the traditional Jer- sey Day when each girl wore a football boy's jersey. Later on that night was a pep rally and snake dance. It trailed to the dump where the bonfire was lit. Amy Schroeter commented, This year homecoming was different because it's my last one. Pamela Coglon also thought this year was different because, I was in the court and had a great date for the dance. Friday was the busy day. It was Dress up Day. Besides that, everyone was running around decorating and preparing. Early that morning student council members went to the cafeteria to decorate for the dance which was entitled Rock Me Tonite by Billy Squier of the Signs of Life album. 5 AUDUBON-EXIRA CO-OP Exira Over O-M Later that afternoon the queen coronation was held with everyone waiting for the results. They were: Sue Hill was queen, Janelle Wolf was princess, Beth Hackwell was countess, Teresa Wheeler was duchess, and Pamela Cog- Ion was lady of the court. The parade uptown was after this. Then everyone went up to the peprally uptown at the park. This concluded the afternoon's activities. At 7:30 the game everyone was waiting for finally arrived, the football game against Orient-Macksburg. The Vikings gave it all they had and won. This great win really got the students excited. They looked forward to the dance later on. The band was Rose and they played from 9:00 until 12:30. By the end of the dance everyone was ready to go home and most of them would remember it for quite a while. The majority of the kids really enjoyed the whole week. The dance was open to many different views by the EHS students. Anne Taylor said, 1 didn't care for the band and I had never heard of them before. Joy Clemsen, Beth Hackwell, and Sheri Dennis thought they were really good and played great songs. 1 K AND J FEED AND SEED 1) The varsityfootball boys show their enthusiasm on the firetruck during the parade. 2) Mark Jensen escorts Jan Clem- sen to her seat in the cafeteria during the coronation. 3) The cheerleaders fire up the football players and the crowd in the city park after the parade. 4) The march- ing band attempts an intricate maneuver during the parade - and believe it or not - they all came out in the right order! 5) Jason Van Aernam, Pat Petersen, Tim Kilworth and Brett Figgins keep their eyes straight ahead during the parade. The twenty-four science fair projects that were picked February 14 to go to the conference science fair traveled to Orient on March 4 to compete in the Roll- ing Hills conference science fair. Projects at Exira were organized at noon and by 12:15 everything was loaded onto the school van and participants sitting in the bus driven by Mr. Best. Ms. Countryman drove the van along with Mr. Huber who went along to help judge in the preliminaries. After an hour drive, each person or group took their projects into the O-M building and set up at places where their names were marked. Judging started at 2:00 so there was planty of time to get prepared. There were seven classes or divisions among the projects: high school biology, h.s. physics, h.s. chemis- try, ninth grade life science, ninth grade physical sci- ence, 7-8th grade life science and 7-8 grade physical science. Projects were judged by three preliminary judges including Mr. Best and Mr. Huber. The preliminary judges could not judge their own school's projects. More or less, those with red or blue ribbons would compete in the finals. Those projects that were judged in the finals were judged only once by someone out- side the conference. Medals were awarded for 1st and 2nd places in each division. Here are the results of the final judging: Jeff Peter- sen and Chris Meyer, gold, A SHOT AT THE MOON; Tricia Luft and Sonya Stierle, red; Joy Clemsen and Amy Schroeter, red; Angie Wahlert, white; Becky Fig- gens, gold, MEASURING RADIATION; Stacy Han- sen and Teresa Wolf, gold, BUTTER UP TO THE POPCORN EXPLOSION; Steve Jacobsen and Matt Sleister, red; Stacey Thompson, bronze; Lois Behrens, blue; Mike Venteicher, red; Jennifer Emery and Jody Nielsen, blue; Mary Hansen and Tracy Venteicher, blue; Brad Schwenneker and Jon Van Aernam, blue; Joleah Flathers, blue; Deb Schrampfer, blue; Daniel Hopper, gold, GAS FROM GARBAGE; Staci Dennis and DeEtte Black, white; Tracy Wheeler and Michelle Kommes, white; Michael Petersen and Bill Haley, red; Mike Emery and Keith Kowal, white; Todd Nielsen and Jeremie Faga, white; Dana Venteicher and Kim Kirchoff, white; Shelly Hackwell and Rachael Krcmarik, white.

It's very rewarding for me to see their diligence pay off.” 12 Diligence Pays Off For EHS Science Fair Projects 1) Cold medal and blue ribbon-winners of the 1985 Rolling Hill Conference Science Fair: first row - Stacy Thompson, Stacy Hansen, Teresa Wolf, Daniel Hopper and Brad Schwenneker.

Tumbleweeds Friday, March 29, at 7:30 p.m. the Exira Junior High presented Tumbleweeds a new musical presented in two acts based on a comic strip created by Tom Ryan. Tumbleweeds gets its name from the likeable cowpoke who tries his best to be an optimist. It is not easy because he lives in the wretched town of Grimy Gulch which is populated by a bizarre bunch of char- acters. Also the Choo Choo Railway wants to wipe the town from the map. No one is interested in Tumbleweed's attempt to improve the town except for his former school teacher. She plans to open a School For the Ignorant to help the town. Soon there is a bank robbery, an Indian attack, and a low noon shoot out. Jackie Paulsen, director of the play, commented, I thought the musical went very well. This was a much longer musical than in the last years, and the kids really worked hard to put it together. The audience seemed to really enjoy it. I thought the main characters did a great job and the stage crew was fantastic. I was pleased with the way it went. The students can be proud of themselves. Kevin Lauridsen, who played Throck Morten Fleesum said, It took a lot of work to get this musical ready, but it was fun doing it! The play this year was very hard, but it was a lot of fun doing it! Theplay this year was very hard, but it was a lot of fun when it worked out, stated Scott Hansen.

Some of the decorating was done Thursday night as streamers were hung, doors were taken off and metallic trees were assembled, but most of the decorating was done during school on April 26 by the junior class. Time was spent very well and by lunch streamers had been hung past the middle of the cafeteria! By 4:00 all the walls were decorated with paper flowers and balloons were hung from an arch in the middle of the floor. Mike Immel stated, It was hard work, but it was fun decorating. I thought our class worked hard together. The theme We Belong was done in silver letters and hung on the stage's curtain by Carol Landon and Stephanie Muzney. Decorating was completed by 5:00. The banquet started at 7:00. Everyone was escorted to their seats by the servers. Some Booster Club and faculty members even parked cars as the students drove up to the school. The decorations were fantastic, commented Kelly Paulsen. The welcome was given by the junior class president Chris Meyer. Then the invocation was given by Jane Andersen. Everyone was lined up at the salad bar for their choice of salad. Shortly afterward, dinner was served by the prom serv- ers.

At 3:30 a.m. the breakfast was served at the Catholic Hall by the junior mothers. Omelets, muffins, milk and juice were served. Mr. Walker commented, Prom 1985 went well, I thought the juniors worked very well together and were very responsible this year. I wasn't out chasing down anyone all day! The decorating looked great. 1 liked the balloons - that was different from other years. Mrs. Paulsen stated, I thought this year's decorations were pretty. The class really pulled together to make all the pillows for favors. Tom Paulsen was very helpful as prom chairman checking orders ahead of time and boxes of supplies. Monica Petersen was an excellent chairperson during decorating, always responsible and busy. The whole class worked pretty well. Chris and Jeff did a good job of video taping. I thought the new ideas of the video tape, valet parking, buggy and car rides and post-prom bowling party were good. 1 hope these activities are continued. I just wish the decorations would have stayed up until the end of the dance. Mrs. Lowe commented, I dia appeciate all the hard work that the junior mothers did because the prom couldn't have taken place at all without their help. 1 was proud of Jane Andersen and Traci Rattenborg who were student chairpersons of the food committee.

This center is a complex consisting of six buildings. It's purpose is for conservation and for resource use, the only such center in the state of Iowa. The purpose of the trip was to spend two days and one night there while discovering many impor- tant facts about conservation and wildlife. Some of the planned activities for the students were shelter building, nature study, making t-shirt designs, owl study, reptile and amphibian study, tree identification, orientation activities, campfire building, owl calling, making smores, blacklight tracking, fisheries presentation, blind walk, and a nature scavenger hunt. In the nature study, Arlen Throne, the conserva- tion officer for Audubon County, led the group and explained many aspects of nature. Shirts were made by taking a white t-shirt and placing nature objects in ink and then pressing them on the shirt. Stu- dents used a compass to find a certain area in the orientation activity. At night the students had a campfire and ate smores while attempting to call owls and have them answer back. Also at night there was a black light experiment to track down animals. This was followed by a fisheries presenta- tion. Mr. Best thought that this year differed from the others in that each group seemed to display its own unique personality. He also thought that this year's group behaved quite well. He added that the stu- dents did a good job taking notes and asking ques- tions. Mr. Best also commented, All of the students along with the chaperones really had an enjoyable trip. The weather was excellent the whole time. The students in response to a tes question felt that their time was well spent. 28 1) The seventh grade pose for a group shot at Springbrook: first row - Todd Nielsen, Jeremie Faga, Brett Figgins, Tami Hansen, Krista Madsen, Beth Wahlert, Lisa Hackwell, Tracy Lauridsen and Rachel Krcmarik. second row - Kevin Smith, Dan Hopper, Mike Petersen, Bill Haley, Keith Kowal, Mike Emery, Dan Lohoff, and Shelly Hackwell. third row - Brian Stuetelburg, Ricky Hansen, Julyn Farris, Mitch Fredericksen and Jody Toms.

COZINE AUTO SUPPLY, Audubon 32 Eighteen Chosen For EHS Drill Team The football and basketball drill team of 1984 and 1985 were really hard workers and creative choreographers ' Ms. Berryhill, drill team sponsor, proudly announced. About 29 girls tried out this season but only 18 were chosen. The team consisted of Captain Sandra Christensen, Theresa Wheeler, Jan Clemsen, Joy Clemsen, Angie Wahlert, Lisa Paulsen, Monica Petersen, Jane Andersen, Shanna Wolf, Sheri Dennis, Dana Brinkmeier, Kelly Jensen, Staci Hansen, Lois Behrens, Teresa Wolf, Stacey Thompson, Ann VanAernam, and Janell Wolf. Two of these were alternates. The 1984-1985 season was Ms. Berryhill's second year as sponsor and she has really enjoyed it. I liked the excitement of the girls right before a performance and I enjoyed working with the girls. The 18 girls had very similar comments about their sponsor. Lisa Paulsen said, Ms. Berryhill was great! She made sure that we had every routine learned and memorized before we performed them. She was always very encouraging. She wanted everything to be precise! Dana Brinkmeier answered. The rest of the girls agreed that Ms. Berryhill was the best sponsor that they have ever had. They all commented on how she was always there. She got them organized and made them get things done. There were several different memorable moments for the girls. Monica Petersen looked back to the night the girls gave Ms. Berryhill her flowers. When we gave them to her she almost started crying. Then we gave a great performance which was our last one for the season. Teresa Wolf had another happy moment, One night at a football fc 8ame wh n it was really cold outside the drill team decided to wear jeans as we performed. Dana, Sheri, and I wore the long football coats. It must have looked really weird to the fans. We really had fun! Sandra Christensen was the captain for her second year this season. Jan Clemsen said, Sandra was really organized. Sandra was a very responsible captain, Angie Wahlert commented. The biggest thing that the drill team and their sponsor would like to see changed is the uniforms. Theresa Wheeler stated, This was my last year in drill team. For the past three years we have been wearing the lady bug outfits and I would really like the girls that go out for drill team in the future years to have decent uniforms to wear. Another big complaint by the team is that not too many people take drill team seriously. Kelly Jensen supportively said, I think that the school and everyone else should support drill team more. They could at least be fair about it and treat it as equally as they do the sports or else cheerleading. Joy Clemsen added, I was in drill team for three years. During my first year the cheerleaders got new uniforms and they also got new uniforms during my last year. I really wish the drill team was noticed as 2 much as the cheerleaders. Some of the girls liked this year better than the past years because of the scheduled practices. For others it was a hassle. The practices would sometimes begin at 7:15 or 7:30 and would last until 8:00. The girls would run through the routines a couple of times or else they would learn new ones. One thing that I really liked about this year was that we had better songs to dance to and everyone helped make up the routines, Lisa Paulsen pointed out. Shanna Wolf added, I liked the way we all got a chance to make up the routines. It was challenging and fun. The drill team members chose some of their favorite routines that they had performed this year. Among the favorites were Rock Me Tonight , which was performed at the homecoming football game, The Heat is On . Walkin' On A Thin Line , Baby I'm a Star, and Magic . All of the girls commented that they would definitely go out for drill team again. Drill team was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed our- selves! Stated Theresa Wheeler. 3 33 ■ 1) Jan Clemsen, Ann Van Aernam and Angie Wahlert cheer on the crowd down at the dump during the bonfire. 2) The crowd at the park appreciates the job of the cheer- leaders the afternoon before the homecom- ing game. 3) Even cheerleaders need some fun now and then.

How funky is your chicken? How loose is your goose? Come on all you Vikings and shake your caboose! This might be one of the many cheers you would hear from the EHS cheer- leaders if you were to attend a football or volleyball game this fall. The 1984 cheerleaders were very busy this year firing up both the girls' and boys' teams for a victory. Their activities were making signs to hang up around the halls and in the locker rooms, planning various pep rallies, organizing bake sales and making goodies for the players. I was very proud of the cheerlead- ing squad. I feel they did a fantastic job at all the games. The girls have shown a great deal of responsibility because since I am located at the grade school, 1 couldn't always be there to 1 help. They often had to get things done themselves, stated Janet Franke, sponsor. This year the girls attended a camp at UNI. All eight cheerleaders and Miss Franke left on Friday night after a football game and traveled to Wa- verly, Iowa where they stayed for the night. They woke up early the next morning and went to Wartburg Col- lege. Both female and male cheer- leaders met them there and split them up into four groups to work on var- ious skills. The categories were chants, jumps and skills, pep ideas and partner stunts. After the camp the girls watched the UNI cheerleaders at their homecoming game. It was a lot of fun and we picked up some new cheers and ideas, said Sue Hill. The 1984 cheerleaders consisted of seniors Janelle Wolf, Sue Hill, Joy 2 Clemsen, Jan Clemsen, and Angie Wahlert. The three juniors were Lisa Paulsen, Traci Rattenborg and alternate, Jane Andersen. Ann Van Aer- nam was the freshman on the squad. 1) Beth Hackwell gets ready to serve at the Anita game. 2) Shanna Wolf, Karen Froker, Sheri Dennis, Cathy Jessen and Ms. Franke intent- ly watch the game. 3) The 1984 Volleyball team; Back row - Eric Ernst, Janet Franke, Karen Froker, Shanna Wolf, Dana Brinkmeier, Sheri Dennis, Jolene Kirchoff, Melanie Kelly.

The confer- ence record was 4-1, which was second best. The head coach this year was Mr. Ernst and assistant coach was Miss Franke. A highlight of the season, Mr. Ernst commented, was, 'Defeating Anita at their place by coming back from a 4- 14 score in the fourth game, and beating undefeated Ma- nilla the first time we played them. Mr. Ernst felt that the team's skill level had improved and that the volleyball program was stronger overall. He also had a few comments about the players. Lori Kommes made first team all conference. She tried hard all the time, was easy to coach and has lots of ability. Teresa Albertsen improved a lot during the season, and has a chance to be an excellent player. Karen Froker is a great hustler, very intense. She started to serve and spike much better as the season went on, good improvement from last year. Teresa Wolf was a freshman this year who plays with a lot of heart. She's very talented and has the chance to play varsity next year. Deb Schrampfer hates to lose. She would go through a wall to get the ball. I hope her intensity spreads to the whole team. A lot of the girls agreed that getting second team all- conference was a definite highlight of the season. The girls also had some comments about Coach Ernst this year. Carol Landon commented, He has changed a lot since the year before. He made us run a lot more! Teresa Wolf said, He explained things really well and he never blew up at us when we screwed up. Lois Beh- rens stated, Miss Franke and Mr. Ernst helped us a lot. I really learned a lot about the game. Although there were a lot of intense games and hard prac- tices, the girls had a few embar- rassing moments. A few of the girls felt that getting second to last in the conference tourna- ment was embarrassing. Teresa Wolf's most embarrassing mo- ment was, I was in serving po- sition and Debbie was right in front of me. 1 served the ball and Debbie caught it! The crowd started laughing and I was so embarrassed. Carol Landon stat- ed, At the conference tourna- ment at Anita Lori and I tripped over each other in the middle of the floor in front of everybody during the game. Cindy Wis- kus' most embarrassing moment was, Just about missing the bus in Avoca because I was too in- volved in hunting for men. I had to chase the bus to get them to stop. To sum it all up, Monica Pe- tersen stated, We did end up second in the conference! That was great! EXIRA FARM SUPPLY (712) 268-5385 37 Tjaden Sees Improvement By Younger Players The Exira Vikings' season ended up on November 2 against the Adair-Casey Bombers. The Vikings were 2 and 7 overall this year. They had wins over the Orient-Macksburg Bulldogs on homecoming and a win against the Bridgewater-Fontanelle Panthers. The Vikings were beaten by the Elk Horn-Kimballton Danes, Anita Spartans, Panora Hawks, Cumberland-Mas- sena Rockettes, the Adair Casey Bomber, Walnut Warriors, and the Manilla Hawks. There were also several all-confer- ence players this year. Among them were Gary Magill, all-conference line- backer and second team guard. Mark Jensen was named second team secon- dary and Lester Haskins received hon- orable mention. The captains for the Vikings this year were Bill Baylor and Gary Magill. The most memorable moment for most of the players was winning homecoming over O-M, 47-0. The team was also plagued with in- juries this year. Bill Coats broke his arm late in the season. Bill Baylor had a blood clot in his leg and was also out. Gary Killen suffered a broken collar bone. Dana Dotey and Tim Huegerich had broken wrists, and Matt Sleister had a broken arm. W'hen asked who was the most valuable player, most players comment- ed Gary Magill. Gary Magill was moved from guard to tailback and had four 100 or plus games. He also had a kickoff return that went all the way. Coach Tjaden commented, Over all it was an exciting year, with some disappointments. The younger players improved a lot over the year. I was also disappointed that Bill Baylor was unable to participate. 1) Mike Luft releases a pass against the B-F onslaught.

(AUDUBON COUN- TY JOURNAL photos by Pat Luft.) ELLA'S BEAUTY SHOP, Audubon 39 Baseball 1984 The Exira Vikings baseball squad finished the year with an overall record of eight wins and ten losses. In conference play they were 7-3. The squad began practice in early May coached by Neil Mossman. Their first game was May 29 against Anita. Neil Mossman said, The biggest disappoint- ment was being undefeated in conference play up until the final week, and also not being confer- ence champs. There were many different reactions on what was the most memorable game. Lester Haskins thought it was, Playing against the Atlantic J.V. team and bunting in the winning run in the bottom of the last inning. Bill Coats' was, Pitching a one-hitter and hitting a home run in the Anita game. James Paige's most memorable game was, The first half of the double header against Walnut. When asked what was the biggest disappointment of the season, most of the players commented getting third in the conference when they could have had better. When the season ended, the players and their families gathered at Littlefield's Park for a potluck supper. After supper letters and special awards were given out to the players. Some of the special awards went to Lonn Kilworth who received first team third base. Gary Magill got second team catcher. 5 L M SHOE STORE Where You Get The Most For Your Money 326 Broadway — Audubon, Iowa 50025 (712) 563-3440 40 2 1) Bill Coats reaches for the ball as his opponent slides in to third base. 2) Keith Kitelinger steps up to bat. 3) The EHS Viking baseball team: first row - D.

The 1984 softball season looked very promising for first year coach Bill Taylor and the experienced Vikingettes. Returning were eight letter winners, with seven of the eight being starters from last year's season, and their experience was definitely on the Vikingette's side. The Vikingettes started their season off on a positive note, winning their first couple of games against Anita and Adair-Casey. The season proceeded on with a few ups and downs, which can be expected. There are always a few let downs, but these girls didn't let those setbacks bother them. Two-thirds of the way through the season we lost LuAnn Jorgensen to a broken bone in her foot. We didn't just give up; we worked hard and continued playing good softball, stated Coach Taylor. The team attended several different tournaments and even hosted one themselves. At the first part of the season the Vikingettes traveled to Orient- Macksburg to participate in the O.M. Classic. The team placed fourth over all. The Lady Danes Tournament was next on the schedule and the Vikettes came home in third place. The Vikingettes Tournament came later in the season with the girls placing third. The 1984 softball team also had a new addition this season. The Vikin- gettes received new uniforms. Monica Petersen commented, They looked 6 really sharp and we looked great. The team received many compliments and really appreciated the new uniforms. Sue Hill, left fielder for the Vikettes, received second team out field on the All-Conference team. I was really suprised, but it was a great honor, stated Sue Hill. Honorable mention honors went to Michele Petersen and Connie Jessen for infield. Cathy Jessen commented, My most memorable moment about this season was at our sectional game when the whole team almost got swept away by a tornado. Luckily the team survived the storm and made it safely home. The Vikingettes graduated five seniors this season. So next year there will be a lot of shoes to fill. The five seniors Connie Jessen, LuAnn Jorgensen, Michele Petersen, Barbie Hill, and Jessica Jessen, will be missed greatly, but if we worry about the past and keep looking over our shoulders, someone will catch up and pass us from behind. With hard work and dedication we can improve on this years 11-13 record for next year, explained Coach Bill Taylor. 1) The 1984 Vikingettes softball team: Row 1 - Teresa Wolf, Monica Petersen, Shanna Wolf, LuAnn Jorgensen, Jessica Jessen, Barbie Hill and Carol Landon.

INC. Exira, Iowa 5 43 ELMQUIST WELDING AND REPAIR The Exira junior high football team ended their season with a 1-4 record. The Vikings worked hard throughout the season. 1 thought the number of kids out and their attitude to work hard made the season enjoyable, Coach Taylor stated. For the most part the team felt they needed the most work on their blocking skills. When asked what his most memorable moment was, Todd Sonntag added, Sacking the quarterback on the other team. Todd Hansen had a different answer. He said, Just playing in all the games was my most memorable moment! Shawn Olsen was the winner of the most valuable player in the teams' opinion, because he had to remember all the plays and run the offense. When asked what his most memorable moment from the year was, Coach Tay- lor stated, When Shawn Olsen ran fifty-five yards for a touchdown in the Guthrie Center game. For the most part, the team all en- joyed the season and looked forward to playing football next year. When asked what he would do differently next year, Mr. Taylor added, just continue to work hard and improve on what we were doing this year. The eighth grade was the most valuable player that Coach Taylor chose. A Good Turn Out Sports For JH This year's junior high volleyball team didn't have a winning season (seventh grade 2-5, eighth grade 3-4), but the girls had enthusiasm and nev- er quit commented Coach Jim Joslin. Most of the girls felt that Elk Horn-Kimball- ton was probably the one opponent who they would remember the most. When Beth Wahlert was asked what she will remember from this year's past season, she re- plied, ''The bus trips are what I enjoyed the most.” DeEtte Black added, Getting my serves over the net is what I will remember!” Coach Joslin added, We were slightly im- proved over the past couple of years, even though we only won two matches. We need more consis- tency in our serving and receiving. At times our serving was good and other times it wasn't. All the young Vikings felt they had a good coach that helped them and taught them well. Injuries for the season ended with a couple of sprained ankles and a few jammed fingers. The seventh grade had a season where the matches were close, no more than a game apart. One exception was the game with the Anita Spar- tans, the final score being 0-3. The girls felt that Manilla was another match they really would have wanted to win. The seventh grade girls' first game against Shelby-Tennant was a tied one. They played Elk Horn-Kimballton again later in the season and defeated them two games to one along with Anita. The eighth grade girls had a better season, 3-4. They romped Shelby-Tennant for their first game, four games to one. Elk Horn-Kimballton took them 0-3 and the rest of the games were close except for Anita who took them 0-3 both times.

The greenhands sold popcorn to pay for their FFA jackets. The FFA had a pizza party with some of the money they made selling fruit. On April 11, the FFA Banquet was held. The special guests were Loren Christensen, the district treasurer, and Matt Andersen, district vice- president. Awards were also handed out to some of the following people: Glynn Hansen received the DeKalb Award and Bill Coats Sr. was honored with the Honor- ary Chapter Farmer.

Other highlights of the year were Chris Meyer's gold award on public speech at state. The soils team also placed seventh in district competition. The FFA students seem to be more interested in the organization this year than they have been in the past. The members sold 3000 pounds of popcorn and earned over $1200 in fund raising after fruit sales were complet- ed, said Mr. Nielsen. The chapter will have a younger look next year because we will lose thirteen senior mem- bers. 49 Rick Nielsen Joins EHS Band TERRY'S BARBER SHOP The high school and junior high bands combined this year to march at all home football games and the homecoming parade. They also combined with the vocal department to present a Christmas concert. The fifth and sixth grade bands also performed in the annual elementary Christmas concert. In February, the high school ensem- ble traveled to Morningside College in Sioux City to participate in the Tall Corn Jazz Festival. The students gained valuable experience in this event. Also in February, the junior high band students participated in the Southwest Iowa Bandmaster's Solo Contest held in Harlan. The high school concert and jazz band participated in the annual pops concert held at the high school. In March the pep band sea- son came to an end after play- ing for all home games. They were assisted during the last few home games by an alum- ni band, which helped liven up the half time activities! In April, the high school band students performed at the state solo ensemble con- test at Carson. In May the concert band participated in the State Large Group Music contest, ending up by playing for the Memorial Day service at the Exira cemetary. 1) Mrs. Paulsen s girls trill sweetly at a concert in the gym. 2) Yes. fall brings those 8:00 band practices in the dewy grass.

Many mumbling mice are making midnight music in the moonlight mighty nice. Is this a secret voodoo incantation or perhaps an an- cient Babylonian curse? No, it's simply one of the diction exercises the chorus uses to warm up! They learned this vocalise at the 1985 Rolling Hills Conference Festival directed by Kent Hatteburg of Cedar Rapids. In addition to the usual fall, Christmas, pops and spring concerts, the chorus was busy with many other extra-curricular activities. Six students prepared music for the annual All-State tryouts in October. Although none were chosen, all tried very hard and experienced great musical growth. These students were Teresa Albert- sen, Monica Petersen, Karen Froker, Steve Hansen, Tim Kilworth and Brian Taylor. Better luck next year! In February, Janelle Wolf, Monica Petersen, Mark Jensen and Bill Baylor participated in the Southwest Iowa Honor Choir at Rea Oak, Rick Weymouth, NWMSU, director. Although the con- cert was snowed out, the students had an enjoying and educational day. Many students participated in Exira's first Fine Arts Night in March. Many of these same groups and solos went on to receive I ratings at smallgroup contest in April. At large group contest in May, all three choruses received a II rating, but with the loss of only three seniors, the chances for a I next year are excellent. The chorus finished the year by singing for graduation accompanied by Stacy Hansen on flute and Stacy Thomp- son on piano. Also the four honor choir participants sang Maybe Someday, a song which had a great deal of meaning for them. The ICDA Choral Musician Award went to Mark Jensen. Mrs. Paulsen commented, Al- though there were just a few sen- iors, they were outstanding leaders with consistently good attitudes. We will miss them next year. We had a great bunch of freshmen come in this year and really give us a boost. I'm looking forward to even bigger things from them in the future. I'd like to thank my ac- compianists for this year. Stacy Thompson and Betty Wiemann did such a wonderful job. It makes my job much easier. I thought many individuals made great progress this year in their vocal develop- ment and I am sure we will make even greater strides in that direc- tion next year!

Thermogas Company, Audubon 54 Giving Audubon a tough time in our basketball game at home this year, was a most memorable moment for head coach Bill Taylor. Along with assistant coach Eric Ernst, Taylor coached the boys during a disappointing 3-16 season (3-9 in conference standings). The Vikes started slowly the last week of November dropping two to Shelby-Tennant and Coon Rapids-Bayard. Tuesday, Nov. 27, the visiting S-T team jumped to an early lead and never trailed as they defeated the Vikes 62-46. Mark Jensen and Mike Lift each had 16 points to lead the Vikes. Mark shot exceptional- ly well in the first half and he brought us back into the game, commented Coach Taylor. When Jensen cooled off, Luft warmed up as he scored all but two of his sixteen points in the second half. On Friday of that same week the Vikes started fast and were 7- 2 in the early stages of the game against C-R. With a minute left in the opening quarter, they held a 13-12 lead, but seven straight points by the visitors gave them a lead they never relinquished. Mark Jensen ended the evening with twelve points; Gary Magill had ten. With tournament time approaching early in March, the Vikings began playing some of their best ball of the year. In the middle of February, the Vikes were one and one as they defeated Orient-Macks- burg 63-46 and then dropped a 69-66 overtime decision to Elk Horn- Kimballton. The Vikings played their hearts out and didn't deserve to lose that contest, said Coach Taylor. It seemed as though everytime we needed a basket the shot would look good, but just would not fall. Gary Maeill and Mark Jensen each had eighteen points while Laurid- sen and Luft were also in double figures with ten each. Kitelinger added eight with two for Sleister. Lauridsen had twelve rebounds to lead in that department. On Monday, Feb 25, the Vikes dropped a 71-49 decision to S-T in the first round of tourney action in Anita. We just couldn't handle their full-court press and that was the story of the game, said Taylor. Adam Lauridsen was honored at the end of the 3-16 season by being chosen third team all-conference. Adam averaged 10.3 points and 7 rebounds per game. About 49% of these came from the floor and 48% from the charity stripe. Mark Jensen, senior, enjoyed staying the night at Des Moines after spending the day watching the Boy's State Basketball Tour- nament. Matt Petersen enjoyed playing 15 sec- onds in the first varsity game. Steve Hansen and Aaron Paulsen hope for a winning sea- son and look forward to the upcoming freshmen for the 1985-86 season. Seniors leaving the squad this year were Mark Jensen, Adam Lauridsen, Gary Magill, Kevin Christensen and Keith Kitelinger. 3 4 Walnut Hill Classic Captured! Early in January, Speech Coach Allison Berryhill began organizing the EHS speechsters for large group contest. Fifteen Exira students took entries to district contest at Denison earning straight I's. The choral reading group consisted of Jane Andersen, Lois Beh- rens, Joy Clemsen, Stacy Hansen, Steve Jacobsen, Bri- an Taylor, Stacy Thompson, Ann Van Aernam and Janelle Wolf. This group performed a selection enti- tled Journey Cake, Ho! Sheri Dennis, Karen Froker, Kelly Jensen, James Paige and Shanna Wolf performed a scene from The Crucible for their ensemble acting category. Stacy Hansen, Teresa Wolf and Janelle Wolf performed an ensemble act from the play The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds. On February 2, the Rolling Hills Conference speech tourney was held in Fontanelle with Exira coming in fourth place. First place honors went to ensemble act- ing (Stacy H., Janelle W., and Teresa W.) and literary program (Stacy Hansen). Second place honors went to improvisational acting (Lois Behrens) and prose inter- pretation (Denise Schrampfer). Third place went to improvisational acting (Stacy Hansen) and ensemble acting (Sheri, Karen, Kelly, James and Shanna). On March 2, Denison was also the host of individual district events. Again, fifteen students par- ticipated with twenty-two entries. Sixteen of these people advanced onto state competition on March 23 to Council Bluffs. The following students received ones at district: Poetry - Theresa Wolf, Deb and Denise Schrampfer; Lit Program - Stacy Thompson, Jane Andersen; Radio News - Jane Andersen; Dra- matic Acting - Shanna Wolf; Hu- morous Acting - Karen Froker; After Dinner Speaking - Deb Schrampfer; Improvisational Act- ing - Stacy Hansen, Lois Behrens and Storytelling - Steve Jacobsen and Stacy Thompson. None of our entrants were sen- iors, so hopefully all will be return- ing next year, said Ms. Berryhill. Our program is really growing stronger. The experience of the district, state and conference meets paid off on March 16 with Exira bringing home the coveted Walnut Hills Classic Sweepstakes trophy. Nineteen other schools were defeated. Fifteen students entered twenty-nine speech events. Thirteen en- trants advanced to the final rounds and six squad members won personal trophies. Individual trophies were earned by Janelle Wolf (1st humorous acting, 2nd storytelling), Stacy Hansen (1st lit program), Jane Ander- sen (1st radio news), Deb Schrampfer (2nd freshman prose), Denise Schrampfer (3rd prose). Since Anita is one of the top speech contest debate schools of its size in the state, this was indeed an honor and a reflection on the quality of the coach and her participants! Congratulations! 1) Small group speech contestants: first row - S. Hansen, K. Froker, S. Wolf, T. Wolf, L. Behrens and A. Van Aernam. Back row - J. Andersen, S. Thompson, D. Schrampfer, C. Wiskus, S.

Spring Thing is an event at Exira where students display their projects that they've been working on the past year. The jazz band and swing choir usually perform, but were unable to this year since many members had to attend a make-up track meet. Many seniors displayed their projects in industrial arts, home ec and art. Jan and Joy Clemsen had paintings and fiber crafts. Angie Wahlert exhibited her skills in painting and woodworking while Sandra Christensen made a kite, some drawings and had a shirt with knitting on it. Pam Haley had different paintings and drawings, also. Jay Walp displayed his paintings along with Kelly Paulsen who also had paintings and photographs he developed in school. Wood processing was also a popular event at Exira. Jay Petersen displayed a grandfather clock; Clarence Wilson showed a lap desk; Jon Van Aernam exhibited his entertainment center; and Mike Johnson proudly displayed a clock, a table and two candle holders. Chad Jorgensen had a bookcase along with Jedd Jensen who exhibited a night stand. Mike Immel had made a walnut cedar chest. In the metal department there was a grill, castings of an eagle, fish and a tool box made by Doug Harms. Mike Johnson had castings of a fish, duck and a sign. Marty Bintner had castings of a dog, a mug and a bale carrier. Mitch Coglon had a tool box and Jeff Mulford and Kenny Petersen displayed mechanical drawings. In the home ec department there were many dif- ferent shirts, tops, sweat pants, shorts, pillows and two refinished chairs. These projects were displayed by Mrs. Lowe's students ranging from junior high beginning sewing students to I. S. projects. The crowd started to arrive at 6:00 sharp. Coffee, punch and cookies were served. I enjoyed viewing all of the many fine projects. It was obvi- ous that Exira High School has many talented students ' said Mrs. Lowe. Mr. Roy added, ''I feel our Spring Thing is a great opportu- nity for everyone in Exira to see what our students have accom- plished during the preceding school year. It was too bad that the weather caused a conflict and the music department didn't have a chance to perform. They were missed.'' Spring Thing is an opportu- nity for the students to show an- 5 other side of their personality. We have many students who are gifted in a wide variety of areas, said Mrs. Leinen. 57 Small In Number, But Strong In Heart This year's wrestling squad was small in num- bers but strong in heart. There were only four active members on the team made up of two freshmen, Clarence Wilson (who wrestled at 155), and Mike Venteicher (who wrestled at 138). The other mem- bers were Lester Haskins at 132 and Pat Petersen at 185. Both of these grapplers were juniors. The season's records were not the best, but one individual did end up with a winning record and others were in the middle. Lester was the only grappler to have a winning record of 7-6. Pat and Mike were each in the middle. Pat won 8 and lost 12 and Mike won 2 and lost 10. Clarence had to wrestle at a hard weight class and was up against many upper classmen so he wasn't able to win a match, even though he came close many times. He had a record of 0-12. With so few out for wrestling there were mixed feelings about the year. Clarence said, I liked it because the coach was able to work more with indi- viduals instead of a team so I learned more. Mike Venticher replied, I didn't like it because with so few members we couldn't win any meets and you had to give a lot of weight in practice when you got a partner to spar with. Most everyone thought that Mr. Mullnix leaving next year might be the end of wrestling in Exira, but as of now that does not look probable. As for memorable moments, Mike remembered winning his first match and then wrestling the same guy again and beating him fifteen seconds faster the second time. Pat and Lester remembered going to the Iowa vs. Iowa State wrestling meet in Iowa City the most.

Senior and captain Jan Clemsen replied, I really en- joyed cheerleading, except it gets a little discour- aging when the fans and student body give little response. The eight girls this winter were kept very busy cheering for both the girls and boys varsity bas- ketball games, junior varsity basketball games and the wrestlers. Pamela Coglon stated, This was my first year out for cheerleading. It was different from any- thing 1 have ever done. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed my short career as an EHS cheerleader. This year was the first time that the Exira Vikings and Vikingettes had a mascot, or should it be said MASCOTS? Fifteen little ladies from the first grade sacrificed their cartoon time after school to prepare themselves to help fire up the fans. Janelle Wolf and Joy Clemsen, along with others, taught the first graders a variety of cheers and jumps. These skills and cheers were chanted at home games. The first grade squad members were Leslie Schroeter, Mindy Powers, Kim Brown, Liberty Muzney, Tina Olsen, Shelbi Nel- son, Jackie Paulsen, Laura Hoegh, Mary Kolbe, Jessie Garnett, Dana Hansen, Karla Wahlert, Amanda Lynam, Kelley Riesgaard and Becky Sonntag. My favorite cheer was 'How Funky Is Your Chicken?' done by the first graders at half time or between quarters. They were so cute! added Jane Andersen. The girls had various pep rallies and made signs to get the spirit flowing. The cheerleading squad also sold shirts with Exira Vikings printed on them. This was a big task of its own and caused a few slight migraines, right Ms. Franke? Members of the 1984-85 winter cheerleading squad included seniors Sandra Christensen, Jan Clemsen, Pamela Coglon and Pam Haley. The squad also consisted of two juniors Jane Andersen and Denise Schrampfer. Tina Winchester was the sophomore representative rounded out by eighth grader Mi- chelle Kommes. The cheerleading sponsor was Janet Franke. She was nice and helpful. She was concerned about the way her cheerleaders were treated, commented Tina Winchester. 60 The 1985 boys' basketball team.

Coach Hansen had taken many girls basketball teams to State and in 1976 his girls won the State Championship. The girls' most memorable over all mo- ment was beating Audubon. They thought they were going to walk all over us but we ended up winning! stated Monica Peter- sen. Other highlights of the year were play- ing Walnut with Ms. Franke and Mr. Joslin as coaches and playing well against Guthrie Center in sectionals. Lori Kommes stated that her most embar- rassing moment was, I was standing on the forward side of the court and Teresa was on the guard side. Teresa stepped into the circle and hit the ball to me - and it knocked me in the head. I was so embarrassed be- cause all the people in the crowd started laughing! Lisa Paulsen stated, We were playing a game at Anita and some Anita girl sat on me and wouldn't get up. Then when I got up Beth accidentally hit me in the nose and made it bleed. Sue Hill added, When my headband fell down at the B-F game and Coach Hansen yelled at me! The goals that the girls have for the 85-86 school year are to go to state and win. The shorter girls wish to grow six more inches during the summer! The younger girls want to play more varsity next year. Miss Henry said, I really enjoyed coaching at Exira and I respected the girls' determination and ambition to improve their basketball program. The girls' efforts and abilities have yet to reach their capabilities, but they are headed in the right direction. Beth and Sue will be greatly missed and I wish them the best of luck. Since Audubon is my hometown, my most memorable moment was beat- ing them! The most exciting game was Coon Rapids when we were dreading the game itself and we won 41-40, said Carol Landon. 1 was happy to get into coaching and with a group that had more potential than what they were using. Also I couldn't have picked a nicer bunch of girls to work with. I really enjoyed it. There are two seniors who will be greatly missed next year. We have four starters back who will give us a good place to start next year. We also should improve in JV, said Coach Hansen. 2 6 1) Teresa Albertson races for the ball assisted by Moni- ca Petersen. 2) Beth Hackwell swats the ball to Monica Petersen ( 14) at a home game. 3) The EHS Vikingette jv team: first row - T.

This year we have an addition to the team, a letter-winner transfer from Audubon, Stephanie Muzney, who set a school re- cord in Audubon for the 1500 meter run in her freshman year. The first contest of the season was the Tigerette Relays held at Guthrie Center on April 12. The two-mile relay team sparked a positive note setting a new school record m V of 11:43.

Joy Clemsen Burgandy And Gray Jay Petersen Bill Baylor White Rose Tipped In Burgandy Junior Jocks The 1984-1985 junior class all agreed on what they want when they become seniors and that is to be able to rule the roost. I can't wait to be able to tell all the underclassmen what to do! commented Carol Landon. Other future senior dreams are graduating, going on to college, having new classes, being able to go out more, and being able to budge in the lunch-line. I can't wait until I'm a senior. I'll be able to stay out later on the weekends! beamed Teresa Albertson. My dream is to graduate so I can become an alum- nus, answered Joe Muhr. There were a wide variety of favorite school activities among the juniors. They ranged from the traditional school sports such as football, basketball, baseball, and softball, to activities like the school play, chorus, cheer- leading, and drill team. Lisa Paulsen gleamed, My favor- ite is going on field trips! The majority of the people in the junior class said that they spend their spare-time being with friends and being rowdy. Other spare-time favorites are watching televi- sion, listening to the stereo, eating, sleeping, and, most importantly, dating. Favorite drinks of this class were mainly soft drinks. Pepsi was the favored soft drink followed by Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Free, and Coca-Cola. These were followed by root beer. Dr. Pepper, and Mountain Dew. But there were still the old fashioners who like the glistening whiteness of milk. Deep pan pizza was the favorite food and this was follwoed by spaghetti, steaks, shrimp, lasagna, tender- loins, and hamburgers, but there were two junior girls that didn't like these foods. They like the taste of taco salads. Right Lisa and Lori?! Van Halen was picked as favorite musical group. Other selections were The Cars, Huey Lewis and the News, AC DC, Night Ranger, and Prince and the Revolution. Blue and red were the over all favorite colors Chris Meyer, pres.

Movies that made it on the list were RE- VENGE OF THE NERDS, SIXTEEN CANDLES, PURPLE RAIN, RED DAWN, and GHOSTBUS- TERS. Favorite teachers included Mr. Sleister, Mr. Walker, Mrs. Lowe, and Ms. Berryhill. Favorite classes are creative writing, art, geom- etry, accounting, short stories, computers, and woods. The 1984-85 junior class all agreed that being junior jocks is what makes their class special. 86 2 1) Mike Luft, Lester Haskins, Joe Muhr and Pat Petersen take time off from working on the tunnel in the lobby to show off for the photogra- pher.

The sophomores want to find their own opportu- nities and so want to spread out but not to ruin their friendship. Their friendship is somewhat relatively close compared to a lot of classes. Kelly Jensen says, I think that we are closer than other classes. We all seem to get along pretty well. The rest of the class will go with Darin Munch who says, Our class seems to be wider than the others. Each person is different in what they do and like different things. The class as a whole seems to raise their hands when they are given the responsibility of being adults. John Crawly comments, I consider myself as an adult because I have more responsibilities than 1 used to. Dana Brink- meier also commented, I think I can consider myself as an adult because we are treated as adults. The sophomores like to get involved in extracurricular activities and other things that are beyond school. Most of the sophomore class thinks this is important to their own lives. Beth Sorensen stated, I think sports sould be for fun not a hard thing and something you dread. -Sports might teach you how to win as well as lose without putting up a big fight. Again, as the class as a whole, thought that ex- tracurricular activities gives them new challenges and helps them get exper- ienced. When looking at the things that lie beyond the school it looks as though the sophomores want to have fun. A majority of the sopho- mores would rather go to a school where they would Linda Hansen Rodney Hansen Steve Hansen Jedd Jensen Kelly Jensen Micah Jessen Brian Juelsgaard, pres. Shanna Wolf, v. pres. Dana Brinkmeier, sec. Tim Kilworth, treas. John Crawley Sherni Dennis Dana Dotey Becky Figgins Brett Fowble Karen Froker “We All Seem To Get Along Pretty Well know most of the people. Sheri Denise said, I think that its important to go to a school where you know a lot of people and have friends because without friends school would be boring. The sophomores think that it is important to have friends when they are in high school. They would also very much like to remember the friends they had. Tricia Luft said, You should remember them because they were in a big part of your life while you were in school. Dana Brinkmeier says with earnest, It is important to remember your friends so you can remember all the good times you had when you were in school.

Washington 90 Exira, Iowa 50076 268-2234 The Freshmen — Quite A Unique Group! The freshman class had many memora- ble moments. Breaking the discus record in track was Steve Jacobsen's most memorable moment of the 83-84 school year. Jody Nielsen and Jennifer Emery remember most when their class got a 99 percentile on their Basic Skills. Clarence Wilson remem- bered winning first place at the conference track meet in the shot put most while oth- ers remembered the musical and for some reason Stacy Hansen's slumber party. When it comes to food the freshmen can usually be found eating pizza and drinking Pepsi. Spaghetti and lasagna were in a close second and third. Algebra and art were the most popular classes with the freshmen. Ghostbusters , Bachelor Party , and Revenge of the Nerds were very high on the list for the freshmen's favorite movie. Red Dawn was also one of the many ap- preciated. Mike Venteicher, Chad Jorgenson, James Scott, Clarence Wilson and Tim Huegrich all seem to think that Heather Thomas makes The Fall Guy what it is today. Stacy Thompson, Jenn Petersen, Teresa Wolf, Aaron Paulsen, Becci Sorenson, and Melanie Kelly like Charles in Charge . There are always a few exotic ones in every class and the freshmen keep up the tradi- tion. For example Daren Lauritsen likes old reruns of Hogan's Heroes and Mary Hansen likes reruns of Saturday Night Live . The most popular movie stars are Heather Thomas and Rob Lowe. Joleah Flathers' favorite actor is Alfonzo Ribero who is the black child on the Pepsi com- mercials. Matt Petersen seems to think that John Wayne is the best there will ever be. Mr. Sleister is the most liked teacher of the freshmen class. Mrs. Lowe and Ms. Berry- hill were also mentioned. la . Tut vic-fSirt When the freshman class was asked what they will do after they graduate they replied: Daren Lauritsen- be a vet. Stacy Hansen- go to college and become a teacher. Brad Schwenneker- be a farm- er, Chad Jorgensen-be a truck driver, and Steve Jacobsen plans on becoming wealthy. Many of the other have not de- cided or are going to college. The fresh- man class of 1983-84 are quite a unique group! 1) Clarence Wilson, Troy Griffin, Jolene Kirchoff and Amy Luft gei help from Kris Larsen, the sub who was here for Mrs. Leinen when she was hav- ing her baby. 2) Steve Jacobsen and Matt Sleister take a break during pep band. 3) The freshmen girls show their shyness during the homecoming parade. 91 Good Luck, Class Of 1989! The 1984-85 eighth grade class is getting ready for high school. These students are also looking forward to graduating from high school - so says George Schultes. Laura May is looking forward to going to college in Iowa City and majoring in accounting, pos- sibly becoming a certified public accountant. What makes this class different from the rest of those in school is the fact that it is, larger than the other classes. This is due to the fact that more students are in the eighth grade and more students in their class go out for extra-curricular activities. Others felt that the people in their class made it different. In the area of sports, the favorite seemed to be a split between football and basketball. Joe Jessen said that he plans on going out for high school football and hopes to letter in that sport in the future. The favorite pastime activity seems to be hunting - for the boys. Others en- joyed being with their friends. In the music category, Duran-Duran took top honors, being an overwhelming choice. Van Halen took second honors. Other groups mentioned were Twisted Sister and Prince. The favorite food of the class was piz- za. The favorite drink was a split be- tween all types of soda. There were a few unusual choices such as a strawberry sundae with M M's on the top with a drink of grape juice, as chosen by Staci Dennis. Who was the eighth grade's favorite teacher and class? There was a close race for this honor, but Mr. Tjaden won out over Ms. Berryhill by only a few votes. The favorite class was a split among several, but the two top ones seemed to be English and history. Mi- chelle and Kim chose art over all their other classes. When asked their plans for the future, the class had a lot of interesting ideas. The main choice seemed to be to go to college and become a professional of some sort. Good Luck, Class of 1989!

Julyn Farris and Jody Toms like to spend their spare time reading books and being outside. Listening to tunes, being with friends and goofing around are what Krista Madsen and Lori Harms enjoy doing. When asked what was different between sixth grade and seventh grade, Kevin Smith, Todd Nielsen and Terri Hen- nick all agreed that having different classrooms and differ- ent teachers every hour were the biggest changes. For favorite teachers, there really were none for this class. Mr. Tjaden, Mr. Nielsen, M. Best and Mrs. Jessen all rated high on the list. Beth Wahlert and Tami Hansen's favorite class was band because they think Mr. Nielsen is funny and nice. Shelley Hackwell looks forward to being an eighth grader so that she can boss around the seventh graders and 4 hopefully not have as much homework. Brett Figgins looks forward to not being the smallest grade in the building next year. When asked what needs to be changed the most about the seventh grade, Lisa Hackwell thought that there shouldn't be as much homework. The seventh grade, as we can see, have their own unique out- look on life which will be sure to be continued throughout their high school years. Good luck, seventh graders! AUDUBON STATE BANK, Audubon, Iowa 563-2644 95 A Fond Goodbye, Mr. Mullnix Vicki Lowe has been teaching at EHS for two years now. Before Exira, Mrs. Lowe taught at Harlan for seven years, two in the high school and five in the middle school. The classes that Mrs. Lowe teaches at EHS are family living, child development, foods. Home Economics I, exploratory home economics, I. S. sewing and housing. Mrs. Lowe is involved in one extra-curricular activity, prom. She said that this year at Exira was different because she wasn't pregnant and that she didn't have to com- mute sixty miles a day, so that she felt more relaxed and less pressured. Mrs. Lowe likes teaching in Exira because the com- munity is so friendly and she enjoys the smaller classes. Family living ranks as her favorite class be- cause she gets a lot of student opinion and the discus- sions are unique. 1) Mrs. Leinen looks up in astonishment as Mr. Mullnix actual looks up from the sports page! 2) Mr. Jeff Nielsen. 3) Tom Madden works on the computer in the resource room. 4) Rodney Hansen, Mark Scott and Kenny Petersen check oranges in the ag room. 5) Bonnie Lynam checks Dan Lohoff's progress. 6 % Bonnie Lynam has taught in Exira for two years now. Previously she taught in Broomfield, Colorado and in Lacey, Washington. In Exira, Mrs. Lynam eaches grades 7-12 in the resource room. This year, ■ aid Mrs. Lynam, is different because I have a part ime aide, Becky Christensen, and she works with several of the students. Mrs. Lynam enjoys teaching in Exira because the faculty and students are so co-operative. Next year Mrs. Lynam plans to use the computer more to review spelling words, math skills and to review for tests. Jeff Nielsen has taught in Exira for three years now. lefore Mr. Nielsen came to Exira, he student taught at North Pole Community Schools in Allewan, Iowa. Mr. Nielsen's classes consist of exploratory ag, ad- anced livestock, farm management, livestock produc- tion, crop production, small motors and general con- struction. Mr. Nielsen is also involved in two extra- curricular activities, adult farmers and FFA. He said that he enjoys teaching his livestock production classes the most because the students show the most interest in that area. Marshall Mullnix has taught here in Exira for six years now, this being his last. Mr. Mullnix taught in West Monona in Onawa and at Traralgon Technical School, Traralgon, Victoria, Australia, before coming to Exira. Mr. Mullnix's classes are government, world history, basic law, political science and physical educa- tion. He says that he feels this year is different from the rest because there seems to be fewer students out for extra-curricular activities. Mr. Mullnix enjoys teach- ing government the most because politics is very inter- esting to him. 97 ■ I Enjoy The Energy Rhodetta Jessen is one of the math teachers at Exira High. The classes she teaches are seventh and eighth grade math, high school general math, basic algebra, mini math and ad- vanced mini math. She is also a junior high and high school assistant track coach and a seventh grade class sponser. Before she came to Exira she taught in Hanay, Germany for one year and she has taught here for twenty years. She says that she likes teaching junior high because the students are always happy, good-natured people and they rarely complain. She likes teaching high school also, she added, because the classes are smaller. Robert Huber is the school's guidance counselor. He also teaches U.S. history, exploratory guidance, and was the girls' assistant basketball coach. He has been at Exira for three years and before coming here taught at Charles City for eight years. He says that he likes teaching at Exira because the students and faculty make his job seem important. He likes teaching ex- ploratory guidance the most because it's fun and it gives him the opportunity to help the students in many different ways. Jim Joslin has taught at Exira for twenty-one and a half years and this is the only place where he has taught. The classes he teaches are Typing I and II, clerical practice and consumer exonomics. He also has junior high volleyball and jh girls' basketball. He likes teaching at Exira because of the friendly community and he can be his own boss in the classroom without a lot of outside interference. The classes he likes the most are accounting and typing because it's eay to see the students' progress when progress is made. Pat Leinen is the art teacher and she has taught at Exira for five years. The classes she teaches are exploratory art. Art I fibers, painting, pottery, jewelry, I.S. art and she also has the third through sixth grade at the elementary. She like; teaching at Exira because she enjoys working with the students and the attitude at the school is very positive. The classe; she likes teaching the most are Art I and the elementary classes. These students have so much enthusiasm it i‘ sometimes hard to hold them down, but I enjoy all their energy, she said. 98 1) Micah Jessen and John Crawley work diligently in Mr. Joslin's class. 2) Mrs. Leinen helps Lester in art class.

KOZY MANUFACTURING COMPANY Designing Manufacturing Wooden Products Buildings 112 East Washington, Exira 268-5308 99 Randy Tjaden has worked here at Exira for seven years. Before teaching here, he taught at Galva, Iowa. He teaches geography, history and pnys ed. He is also the football coach, jr. high boys' basketball coach and he coaches girls' track. When asked what he thought was different about this year, Mr. Tjaden said, Classes are a little smaller and there seem to be less people out for extra-curricular activities except for track. Mr. Tjaden said he likes teaching at Exira because the student-teacher ratio is good and because Exira has one of the best facilities in the conference. Mr. Tjaden went on to say that he enjoys all his classes, but he enjoys junior high the best. Mr. Bill Taylor is in his second year of teaching at Exira schools. He teaches phys ed classes K-12. Mr. Taylor also agreed that he enjoyed teaching at Exira saying, The school and community are working to- ward giving their students the opportunity to reach their goals. It is also a very friendly place to live. : In his spare time, while he isn't coaching basketball, softball, asst, track of jr. high football, you can find Mr. Taylor working on his yard or playing games with his family. I plan on many more years here at Exira; my family ana I really like it. Mrs. Judy Thompson has been teaching at Exira for ten years off and on. Four years she has been the home economics teacher, two years part-time home ec and librarian and two years she has been the head librarian. Her classes include library skills units third through seventh grade and stories units for the kindergarten through second grade. Mrs. Thompson said, This year has gone by faster because this is my second year as librarian and I know the collection better. I also took an updated class in adolescent literature from which I really learned a lot in the spring. Mrs. Tnompson felt that the teaching staff was friendly and students were co-operative. She enjoys helping students and faculty research the most. Next year Mrs. Thompson would like to add more books to the library. She would also like to feature a different author or topic next year. Jackie Paulsen has been teaching at the high school for seven years, ever since she got out of college. The classes she teaches include French I and II, jr. high music and high school chorus. Mrs. Paulsen also works with the musicals, concerts and helps get ready for prom. She said that she likes teaching at Exira because she enjoys the students; they are talented and have a good attitude. She also added that the faculty members are easy to work with and that the administration has been very supportive. When asked what class she enjoys the most, Mrs. Paulsen replied, I like all of my classes. They are all fun to do in different ways and it is fun getting to know the students as individuals. They are fun to be around MOST of the time. Taking some graduate courses this summer and learning some different ways to teach are what Mrs. Paulsen plans to do differently next year. V r Thompson, Paulsen, Taylor, Tjaden 3 1) Is that smoke rising from the stove? Brian Taylor helps prepare the traditional delicious meal in French class. 2) Bill Taylor asks for questions before a few laps in phys. ed. class. 3) Yum! Yum! Truffles? Madame Paulsen and Mdse. Froker exercise their culinary skills. 4) Joe Muhr and Tom Paulsen spend some spare time in the library doing what they enjoy the most - improving their minds. 5) Coach Tjaden and assistants work during a home track meet. 6) Judy Thompson librarian. 4 101 1) Jeff Fowble and Sonya Stierle seem to dream of summer fun in Mr. Walker's PBE class. 2) Mr. Sleister conducts one of his fam- ous desk cleaning exercises . 3) Rick Nielsen is distracted from his thoughts - perhaps a new marching band routine? 4) Mr. Walker and Joe Muhr seem to have a stare down in first semes- ter PBE. 5) Mr. Roy checks a pro- ject of Tom Paulsen's. 6) Steve Ja- cobsen flashes a mischievous grin in Mr. Sleister's class. 102 An Outstanding Group! David Sieister is one of the math teachers here at Exira, teaching senior math, geometry. Algebra I, Algebra II, introduction to com- puters and advanced computers. He is also the advisor for the National Honor Society. Mr. Sieister has taught here at Exira for twenty years. Before coming here he taught at Manning for one year. I like teaching all my classes, but introduction to computers is fascinating because you can really be surprised by who is going to be the 'computer nut he said. He likes teaching at Exira because the students are so co- operative and easy to work with. Exira's industrial arts teacher is Jerry Roy. Mr. Roy teaches ad- 4 vanced woodworking, beginning woodworking, general metals, draft- ing and multi-occupation education program. He also helps the juniors with the concession stand during the year. Mr. Roy taught at Kearney, Mis- souri for two years before coming here where he's been employed for eleven years. He likes teaching here because of the teachers, the kids, the equipment he has in the shop and the support of the staff. I like teaching all my classes because I like to see a student taking an idea and developing it into a useful project or solve a prob- lem, he said. John Walker is an English teacher at Exira, having taught here for seven years. Before coming here he taught two years at Blakesburg, Iowa and for one year at Glidden-Ralston. The classes he teaches are English 10, literature, composition, practi- cal journalism, short stories and personal business English. He also is involved with the musical, newspaper, yearbook and is one of the prom sponsors. He likes teaching here because it is his home town and it helps teaching, knowing the students and their parents. I like teaching English 10 because the sophomores are fun to teach, usually working harder and having more of an open mind to new ideas, he said. This is Mr. Rick Nielsen's first year at Exira having taught for seven years at Irwin-Kirkman. (Mr. Nielsen is the second Mr. Niel- sen to teach here who is originally from Exira!) Mr. Nielsen teaches instrumental music, grades 5-12. He is in charge of the half time shows for football games, the pep band for basketball games, large and small group contest and jazz band contest. Mr. Nielsen said that he enjoyed all of his instrumental music classes. I feel the students that are involved in band have a serious desire to learn and improve their ability. I think the faculty as a whole is an outstanding group! EH5 Teachers Active When Allison Berryhill isn’t teaching speech and language arts, she enjoys writing, ... at least having' written more than the actual writ- ing. Allison is a member of the EEA negotiations team and is working on her MSE at Drake. There were 475 students in my graduating class, so my school exper- iences were different than those of Exira students. Students at Fort Dodge were only involved in one or two activities each, but they really tried to excell in those they were involved in. Lyn Countryman's extra activities in the fall included her lamaze classes (Lyn had her baby in April) and church functions. These are very fulfilling and they help me keep my priori- ties in line. She also felt that school had changed since her high school years. There is much less parental support of the school system and teachers in particular. Because of this, the effectiveness of the school system has been reduced. Many people have assigned additional functions to schools de- creasing their capacity to serve their number one function education! Dave Best is also busy outside the school. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church in Atlantic. I enjoy the chal- lenge and it brings out an opportunity to witness for God. I also teach junior high Sunday School. I enjoy working with the students and to help them learn about Christian living. Mr. Best is also a member of the Elk's Lodge in Atlantic, the Masonic Lodge in Exira and a member of the local and state teachers' associations. There has been a change in the curriculum offerings since I was at the jr.-sr. high level of schooling. I wish that 1 could have had the opportunity to take some of the classes that are offered now, stated Mr. Best. Linda Heaton is also involved in church activities and in P.E.O. I enjoy working with other people in activities. Also, I enjoy water skiing, swimming, reading, and cooking because they're relaxing activities. The biggest change I have seen since I've been here, said Mrs. Heaton, is the improved attitude of the students. They seem to be very interested in learning and in a high level of achievement. Another important change is the im- provement of the facilities at the jr-sr high school. 104 2 1) Dave Best pauses to make a point in biology class. 2) Lin- da Heaton divides a subject and a verb in 7th grade Eng- lish class. 3) Allison Berryhill shares a joke with her creative writing class. 4) Lyn Country- man illustrates an idea on the board to Zach Wheeler. 5) Beth Sorensen, Becky Figgins and Kelly Jensen work diligently in biology. 6) Ms. Country- man looks up to get her photo snapped while adjusting a splint in 8th grade science class. New And Familiar Faces At EHS LANSMAN The 1984-85 year at Exira High School saw a few new faces along with some friendly, fa- miliar ones. The schools at Exira received a new superin- tendent. He was not new to this territory, though, having served previously as elemen- tary principal. This man is known to students and friends as Mr. Neil Mossman. Mr. Moss- man has been with the school system for six years, this year holding both elementary prin- cipal and superintendent positions. Jane Jessen is a familiar face at Exira. Jane has worked as the elementary secretary for fourteen years. She is accompanied at times by Shirley Garnett. Shirley is the board secretary and has worked with the system for five years. Principal Carroll Taylor and secretary Ber- nie Johnson have the honors of holding down the fort at the high school. Both Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Johnson have been with the school for two years. Principal Taylor also has the duties as athletic director along with his other work. Bernie said, The one thing 1 like best about my job is working with the students and the teachers. Bernie was assisted this year by Janelle Wolf, MOC student at Exira. Being a cook for a hundred or so hungry students is and can be quite a job. This year the high school received a new head cook. Mrs. Jane Beckendorf took over the task of planning meals and ordering supplies after Alene Nancarrow retired after fourteen years of service. Mrs. Beckendorf is accompanied by Vera Andersen, Esther Foresman, Diane Peter- sen, and Lorraine Petersen. Some people may not realize how important a janitor's job is. Janitors mow the school lawn, set up for activities, pick up after stu- dents - and who do you think stays until every chair is put away after a concert? Yes, a custo- dian is a very needed person in a school sys- tem. Bernard, Ken, Charles and Dick fill these shoes at Exira. One wish of Ken's is to have the school invest in a high speed buffer! Ber- nard Andersen has been with the high school for 24 years, Ken Cullings and Charles Jessen one, and Dick Andersen four. As the years go by, it seems to me that we get busier, there are more activities, and kids participate in more things. We have a great variety of activities for our young people and our kids have done a good job of excelling in every area of them, stated Bernard. udubon SEED o —m 1) Carroll Taylor, high school principal, gives Beth Hackwell a student council award at Class Night. 2) Jane Beckendorf, head cook at the high school, re- moves a tasty item from the oven. 3) Jane Jessen, grade school secretary, and Neil Mossman, grade school principal and superintendent of schools. 4) Ken Cull- ings stops to chat with Janelle Wolf, high school office helper. 5) Go, Bernard! Bernard Andersen mops the floor between basketball games. 6) Bernie Johnson, high school secretary, chats with Joan Schrampfer in the office. 1) Bill Taylor scares Amy Schroeter as she works out in the weight room. 2) Marty Bintner, Kenny Petersen, Jeff Mulford, Mike Johnson, Mike Ven- teicher and Mike Immel all participated in the con- ference industrial arts fair this spring. 3) Is this short stories class actually working?
