Wolf wiped out and was hurt, so I had to go in as a setter. But when I got up, I had all that tape on my fingers. I could not get it off. There was a slight delay in the game. (Stick with it, Stacy.) The girls had many different comments and feelings about the coaches. “They helped us develop our serves and spikes, said Jody Nielsen. “Coach Hen- ry really cared about us. She made us feel good about ourselves and she made practices fun,” replied Dana Brinkmeier. They are good coaches. The tough practices prepared us fo rour games,” stated Jennifer Emery. At the end of the season the J.V. fin- ished with an 8-2 record and the fresh- man team with 5-5. Second team all-conference winners were Debbie Schrampfer, Sheri Dennis and De Ette Black. Shanna Wolf received honorable mention. The juniors and seniors did an out- standing job as leaders,” said Coach Franke. We'll lose two senior players next year, but we still expect to be confer- ence champs in 1987! by Mike Johnson 1.

The Vikette volleyball team had another winning season with a record of 16-6-1. The team placed second in conference and the coach was Ms. Janet Franke and her assistant Ms. Lisa Henry. The team agreed that the best team they played was Elk Horn - Kimballton. the team agreed that Jan Jensen was the reason for this. “Elk-Horn played a tough game and Jan Jensen seemed to be wherever we placed the ball,’’ said Jenni- fer Emery. “They beat us in conference. They had great coverage against our spiking,” replied Debbie Schrampfer. Dana Brinkmeier's most memorable moment occurred at the Walnut game. “When playing J.V. against Walnut I went up for a spike and re-injured my knee- again. This year was also another “first”. Mi- chelle Kommes stated, “Since this was the first year you could go out for volley- ball and cheerleading I wanted to see what it would be like. Stacy Hansen had an interesting mo- ment: “At the Anita triangle I was mess- ing around with the athletic tape while sitting on the bench. Suddenly Shanna 1.

“Shoot the Moon” Favorite Skit 14 Fall Cheerleaders Cheerleading involves many different jobs that the cheerleaders have to do. Planning pep rallies, making posters, getting ready for Homecoming, and getting the crowd fired up and keeping them fired up are some of the most important ones. This year eight girls did all of these things. The eight girls were, two seniors, Captains Sheri Dennis and Kelly Jensen. The two juniors were Teresa Wolf and Ann Van Aernam. The squad was rounded out by four sophomores, Michelle Kommes, De Ette Black, Toni Jensen, and Staci Dennis. This is the first year that the cheerleaders have spon- sored a dance. After the last home game, October 31, they had a costume dance. The cheerleaders spent Thursday and Friday decorating the cafeteria to make it look “just right”. Kelly Jensen commented, Everybody enjoyed the dance and I had a lot of fun peparing for it. I also thought the decorations looked GREAT!” De Ette Black remembers her most embarrassing moment, “At the Homecoming pep rally I didn’t know one of the cheers so I had to pretend I wasn’t done changing from the skit yet!” Another embarrassing mo- ment was shared by both Toni Jensen and Ann Van Aernam, “At a volleyball game we were going to do ‘Dynamite’ but we started the wrong way and ended up with our backs to the audience!” The girls also attended a cheerleading camp at Wart- burg College. They learned new cheers, jumps, and skits. Teresa Wolf's favorite part of cheerleading camp was the ride up because it was late and, “Michelle and I chowed down and talked and chowed down and talked the whole way up there. Cheers that were chosen as favorites were Shine It On”, Dynamite”, “Funky Chicken”, and “What, What”. The favorite skit they performed was their Homecoming skit, “Shoot the Moon”. Another one they enjoyed was “The Kissing Bandit”. Toni Jensen stated, “I think that the season went well and we all got along really great and had a lot of fun!” 1. Teresa Wolf, Michelle Kommes.
