Sports seem to be very important to the Class of 1992. Dennis Sonntag's most memorable moment was, winning our seventh grade basketball game against Elk Horn in the last few seconds. Cheyenne McClain also had a rewarding experience during football: We were playing Elk Horn and I blocked a punt and ran it back for a touchdown. Watch out EHS, here come the athletes of 1992! by Teresa Wolf Wilson Hybrids, Inc, D an Bau r 20 Eighth Grade Mr. Tjaden is ranked number one teacher once more by the pooners at EHS. “He makes classes fun by throwing in jokes once in awhile. He isn't too strict (except with gum), said Jill Rasmussen. Mr. Tjaden is my favorite teacher because he puts laughter and fun in learning, said Sharry Hocamp. Sharry's most embarrassing moment happened to be in Mr. Tjaden's history class. The day was going slow. When the high school bell rang, I slammed my book shut (not noticing the time). After everyone stopped staring, of course, Mr. Tjaden had to give a little remark. In their spare time, the eighth graders' favorite things to do are to listen to music, watch television, and shoot baskets. Chris Schultes enjoys collecting small tractors. One could usually find Jennifer Beymer playing the piano or hanging around with her friends. The majority of the eighth graders choose pizza as their favorite foods. But Shannon Wheeler stands out from the crowd with her mother's homemade spaghetti ranking first. The eighth graders were very diverse when it comes to a favorite movie. Beverly Hills Cop appeared high on the list. Darcie Jorgensen liked The Lost Boys because, the movie was based on vampires. Ferri Bueller's Day Off was Nikki Sorensen's favorite. It was non-stop comedy. Favorite television shows are also plentiful. Shannon and Jill favored “Grow- ing Pains. “Who's the Boss and “The Cosby Show were also favorites. Nikki and Matt Nielsen liked the more dramatic shows such as Knot's Landing. Jill Rasmussen, pres.
