Chrissy Hailar Bill Haley Ricky Hansen Tami Hansen Lori Harms Terri Hennick Keith Kowal Rachel Krcmarik Tracy Lauridsen Todd Nielsen Kevin Smith Jody Toms Every class has something about it that makes it different from another. What is it about the Class of 1990 that makes it different? I feel the Class of 1990 has grown together and I feel we really understand one another, stated Terri Hennick. Our class is made up of individuals; we all have different interests, commented Brett Figgins. The majority of the class picked blue as their favorite color. Keith Kowal likes midnight black, but Rachel Krcmarik, Shelley Hackwell and Lori Harms like peach. Mr. Rick Nielsen received the honor of being the favorite teacher. When asked why, the response was that he was fun to be around. Mr. Sleister also got a lot of favorite votes. Mr. Sleister makes learning fun and explains things to you until you understand it, said Beth Wahlert. Patrick Swayzee won the girls' hearts as favorite actor. Bill Haley preferred Billy Dee Williams as his favorite while Todd Nielsen liked to watch Clint Eastwood. Shelly Long was Tracy Lauridsen and Tami Hansen's favorite actress. Keith Kowal picked Exira's own Mary Hansen as his favorite! The whole class agreed that an open campus and a better variety of classes would be what they would change about Exira High School if they could. Lisa Hackwell said, “I wish we had more students so we wouldn't have to combine with another school. Pepsi and pizza was picked by most of the class as a favor- ite food and drink. Jody Toms preferred medium rare steak and peach seltzer mixed with orange juice. Lori Harms said she would die for cavatini! Trapping and hunting is what you would find Michael Peter- sen and Bill Haley doing in their spare time. Brett Figgins plays the piano and reads while Krista Madsen likes to ride around with her friends. When asked what they didn't like about going to a small school, most everyone said they didn't like the way rumors spread so easily and that they felt there were too many rules. The good thing, everyone seemed to agree, was that every- one knows everyone else and they are all friends. The teachers have more time to help you, said Keith.
