Title Page 1 ... in 1980 there was a 5-4 season like this year, and in 1981 there was a State play-off team; so hopefully we can follow through. Dan Clark i Differences occur during year Picking a theme for the yearbook was one of the most important but difficult tasks that faced the journalism classes. Editors and staff members were forced to look at the current year and decide what made it unique. Like every year before, we were positive everything was absolutely the same. If we could have picked the theme at the end of the year, it would have been easier. Then students were given an assignment to list all of the things that made the year unique. At first there wasn’t anything. Then we started noticing things. We had two new teachers, Gary Grady taught speech and drama and Carol Moeller taught Spanish II, III, and IV. Noala Fritz, who had previously taught only in the P.E. Department, was also teaching biology. John Svoboda and Mildred Appleoff also had new classes. They taught, besides their high school classes, Middle School band and chorus. Journalism students also listed that both volleyball and football had winning seasons. Volleyball’s winning season was the first in 10 years and football’s the first in 6 years. “We were taught in school that history repeats itself and in 1980 there was a 5-4 season like this year, and in 1981 there was a State play-off team; so hopefully we can follow through,” explained junior Dan Clark. Another difference in the area of fashion was acid-washed jeans. Long skirts, shirts, knee-length skirts, mini skirts, jackets, and, of course, jeans were made of acid washed denim. Speaking especially about the mini skirt length, Julie Cummings, junior, commented, “A lot of the old styles are coming back but they’re more modern now.” When we started to make our list, there seemed like there was nothing different. This year was like every other year. But we started to realize there really were some differences. The more we thought about it, the more ideas we came up with the list got longer and longer as the year continued. Bob Meyer plays his trumpet as John Svoboda directs the band during a pep rally.

Introduction 3 And How Fr yj— 0, , , , .f Student Life Enforced curfew policies affect students L-- urfew being enforced ... acid K washed jeans ... ‘Isn’t that special’... Farm Aid ... Red and White basketball game ... heavy metal dying out. The one thing that affected almost everyone in school was that the curfew was enforced. Any teenager under 18 had to be off of the streets by 11 on weeknights and 12 on weekends. Teens thought that if the time was going to be so early, the age should be under 16. Deena Konstantopoulos, a junior, explained, “I think the curfew is very stupid. It should be the parents’ decision when they want their kids home. But if the curfew is going to be here forever they should change the time to 1:30.” Senior Robin Adams also commented on the curfew. “It doesn’t do any good to enforce the law be- cause that makes it even more tempting for teenagers to stay out later. If parents know their kids are staying out until all hours of the morning and they get into trouble, then it is the parents’ problem to take care of them.” Another thing that affected the students was acid washed denim jeans. Along with the jeans there were also long and short skirts, shirts, and jean dresses. Both boys and girls were affected by the new fashion. It was one of the most widely spread styles of the year. The list of new activities, events, fads, and concerns grew longer and longer as the year progressed. It soon became apparent that there were enough new things for something different in Student Life. — By Barb Joy 4 Student Life Divider During Spirit Week senior Aaron Tilton wraps up sophomore Tony Cepuran in the cheerleader-sponsored mummy wrap competition. 8 ib = win one for Spirit Week Excitement filled the halls as a week of Homecoming events showed the true Tiger spirit. Throughout the week freshmen through seniors, including faculty, had the chance to show their spirit. Camouflage, Hawaiian, 60's and 70 s, and the traditional color and dress up days were the themes. Starting off the busy week, classes began to work on floats. Camouflage filled the halls as students and faculty dressed alike. Cheerleaders tried their hardest to make the noon events fun for all. Trouble arose, though, when lack of participation dampened the fun. Senior Helen Konstontopoulos commented, I think they're neat, but should be made so more people would get involved. Maybe changing the time would help. During the half-way point of the week, everyone could think of ways to be different and to improve on the fun. Although most looked on the events with a smile. I think they're neat, but should be made so more people would get involved. Maybe changing the time would help.” — Helen Konstantopoulos there were still frowns. Sophomore Scott Brewer said, We need more activities and participation; all students should have a chance to give an idea. Spirit Week was coming to a close. Last minute preparations were made. Banners were completed for the For- eign Language Club contest, and halls were decorated by the different classes. Among the other activities, Student Council sponsored the Spirit Line through town and the bonfire. They also painted students' cars on Friday. The parade, pep rally, and participation filled the closing day. The Tigers tough teamwork on the football field led to a victory over the Atchison Redmen, which made Homecoming an even bigger success. The Homecoming Dance, sponsored by Student Council at the Elk's Club, rounded out the week's activities.

Spirit Week 7 Shelly and Erik 8 Homecoming Royalty Homecoming Queen and King King, Queen crowned On the evening of October 2, the 1987 Homecoming Royalty were crowned at Jug Brown Stadium. Erik McHeely and Shelly Arm-bruster were chosen to be the king and queen. Attendants of the royal couple were Kim no!!, Gabriel Lardiz-abal, Michelle Hueb-ner, and John McClar-nen. Louis Gellett, Falls City High School principal, crowned the royal couple. Kelly Palmer, last year's queen, presented the roses to Shelly. Kelly was escorted by the 1986 Homecoming King, Brian Buckminster. Juniors Jason Merz and Tiffany Anderson represented the Student Council. Homecoming was more relaxed this year as the girls wore dresses instead of the formal which had been tradi- tion. Giving her feelings on being selected by the student body. Shelly thought back to the moment she was crowned. With a smile on her Words cannot describe the feeling I had when my name was announced. I was glad, but I felt bad, because I wanted Kim and Michelle to get it, too. — Shelly Armbruster face, she commented, I couldn't believe it! Words cannot describe the feeling I had when my name was announced. I was glad, but I felt bad, because I wanted Kim and Michelle to get it, too. She also added, To be chosen for Homecoming by your fellow classmates is a great honor to have your senior year. As everyone mobbed the candidates when they came off the field, Shelly's mom had to fight her way through the crowd just to give Shelly a hug. Erik had two victories that night. He commented on the first by saying, It was a great feeling! His second win was quarterbacking the Tigers to beat the Atchison Redmen 14-7. Following the game a dance was held at the Elk's Club featuring the band Perfect Strangers. Homecoming was a night that created many memories for students, especially the King, Queen, and their attendants.

There was an over abundance of nerves backstage on opening night. These were either caused by the fact that it was Friday the 13th or because a mirror had been broken at dress rehearsal. Paula Benitz was nervous. She said, There were a lot of last minute changes backstage.” There were some doubts among the cast members and directors about the show until the final week of rehearsals. Only then did everything seem to fall into place. The play contained a love triangle. Tom Marlowe, played by Steve Walker, was the star football player at college. Mis only problem was Professor Kenyon, played by Scott McGinnis. Tom had to pass an astronomy exam to be able to play in the biggest game of the year. To help him study, Tom's girlfriend, Pat, played “The fall musical was so much different than I had ever seen or been in before. Even though we had a new director we all worked together to make it a success.” — Brenda Lampe by Mary Elwonger, arranged for her cousin to tutor him. This resulted in a relationship between Tom and Connie, played by Brenda Lampe. In the end Tom and Connie were married, the team won the football game, and everyone lived happily-ever-after. As the last round of applause died down, cast members presented Mildred Appleoff and Gary Grady with plaques containing a penny and signatures from every cast member. A 1920 penny was placed in the center. According to Brenda Lampe the musical was unique. She said, The fall musical was so much different than I had ever seen or been in before. Even though we had a new director, we all worked together to make it a success. Even though there were doubts beforehand, once the actors were on stage the show went on and was a real crowd pleaser.

Paula Benitz explains to a shocked Belinda Vernon that the FBI man thinks they are each other. 12 Spring Play Comedy makes a hit Cast members of Don't Tell Mother worked extremely hard at their rehearsals to pull the show together in just five weeks. They blocked themselves, which was something new and different for them to deal with. Blocking included all of the movements made on stage — where one stood, moved, or didn't move. When they were blocking, actors had to make sure that they weren't standing in front of someone else and also that the audience could see them. Cast members also had to do their own costuming. There were members who did many things to make the play a success. Scott McGinnis stated, T thought that the play was a unique experience for me because I was a member of the cast and the production staff. It allowed me to work on and off stage I thought that the play was a unique experience for me because 1 was a member of the cast and the production staff. — Scott McGinnis and kept everyone very busy due to the fact that the play had a very small cast of only eight characters. The cast also had the opportunity to work with a student director, Steve Walker. Steve gave his reasons for wanting to work as student director, he said, The rea son I wanted to be the student director was to find out what it would be like to be on the other side' of the production. He added, hopefully, this experience will help me in the future, since I will be teaching. The senior cast members presented director Gary Grady with a plaque containing all of their pictures. Steve Walkerwas given a framed picture of the entire cast. After everyone received their customary hugs, they journeyed to Paula Benitz's house for the traditional cast party.

They were put on by various clubs and organizations trying to pull in a few extra bucks. Organizing a dance took time and effort. First, the group sponsoring the dance had to get permission from Mr. Gellett. next, they set a date, time, and price, found a D.J. or band, and finally advertised and decorated. The different groups who held dances were Foreign Language Club, National honor Society, Future Homemakers of America, and the Cheerleaders. Most dances were held in the old gym and cost only a dollar to a dollar fifty. I thought the dances were enjoyable for everyone and the music was great, said sophomore Roy Beck-ner. D.J.'s provided the music for most dances, and they I thought the Masquerade dance was the best of the year besides prom. The new idea went over pretty well, and I think everyone involved had a lot of fun, too. — Dan Clark were usually done by a student. Those functioning as D.J.'s were senior Brad Bau-mert, senior Grant Svoboda, and junior David Shields. They played music for everyone to enjoy. Different ideas were also shown, such as the Sweet- heart Dance on Valentine s Day and the Masquerade Dance. Junior Dan Clark said, I thought the Masquerade Dance was the best of the year besides prom. The new idea went over pretty well, and I think everyone involved had a lot of fun, too. Making students happy and giving them a break from school were a major purpose for dances. These also helped the spirit. I thought the dances that Brad and Grant put on were very fun. The other dances were alright, but the music was a little bit out of date, said sophomore Marty Feighner.

Juniors plan dinner It was April 16 as people began to get ready for one of the most precious moments of their lives. All the students were getting ready for prom. As students and faculty members arrived at the auditorium, they were escorted to their seats by the junior escorts. They then waited for the festivities to begin. The tables were decorated with strips of silver crepe paper, along with pink candles and a vase with a rose. The gymnasium was covered with pink, black, and silver crepe paper that was strung from wall to wall. In the middle of the auditorium was a large centerpiece made of three silver stars. Junior Deena Konstanto-poulos commented on the way the auditorium looked. She said, The decorations were really neat, and the banquet was nice. All in all, it was a really enjoyable evening. “The prom was really great. I think everyone had a lot of fun. The decorations took lots of work, but they added to the occasion. — Todd Werner The evening began as Tiffany Anderson welcomed all who had come to this event. This was followed by the response of the Senior Class by Kim noli. The Junior class parents once again put in a lot of time and hard work as they pre- pared the meal for the banquet. After dinner Shannon Jenkins and Jason Merz read the Senior Class Prophecy. Erik Mcneelyand Brad Bau-mert followed them as they read a very long and humorous Class Will. Many people worked for long hours with planning and decorating for the banquet to make the prom one of the best and most joyous occasions the students will ever experience. Junior Todd Werner said, The prom was really great. I think everyone had a lot of fun. The decorations took lots of work, but they added to the occasion.

The theme chosen for the prom was At This Moment. The colors were pink, black, and silver. The dance floor was enclosed with streamers with a star decoration in the center of the floor. Instead of following last year's prom by having videos, the class decided to have a band. The band chosen was The Confi-dentials. Two members of the band, drummer Mark Munn and bass guitarist Mike Keeling, were both former students of FCHS. There were different opinions on having a band for the prom. At first some were in favor of a videos, but after hearing the band, they decided there was no competition. The tradition of having a Prom Queen and King, start- ”1 thought the prizes were nice and the games were fun. I was suprised to hear my name called for the waterbed; it is the biggest prize I've ever won.” — Christi Graves ed by last year's Junior Class, was again carried out. King and Queen were John McClarnen and Belinda Vernon. The Junior attendants were Rick Adams and Anne Huppert. Following prom, many students went to the after-prom party. It was also held at the Prichard Auditorium. The parents spent much of their spare time preparing the play money, games for the event, and soliciting local businesses to donate prizes for the auction at the end of the night. The big event was a drawing for a waterbed and VCR. Christi Graves won the waterbed and Robbie Craig won the VCR. After winning one of the major prizes, Christi said, I thought the prizes were nice and the games were fun. I was surprised to hear my name called for the water-bed; it is the biggest prize I've ever won.

Farm Aid III brings hope to the farmers By Tiffany Gatz Thousands filled Memorial Stadium in Lincoln on the warm day of Saturday, September 19. No, they weren't there for o Cornhusker football gome. People of all ages and from oil walks of life come not only to hear music but also to oid the formers during Form Aid III, on all day concert. Form Aid III, organized by UJillie Nelson, was held os the third attempt to help formers that were losing and already hod lost their forms. This big event brought in much money to help the very needy formers. Many people didn't realize whot the formers go through each year when they know that they are about to lose their forms. It was o great weight on the minds of the ones who helped raise the crops which we eot every day of our lives. In on attempt to bring their troubles to notional attention, the concert was televised and watched by millions. For people who didn't really know whot Form Aid III was about, the telecast mode them owore of the former's problems. Tickets, T-shirts, and bandannas ivere some of the souvenirs people brought home from Form Rid III. 20 Student Life Mini Mag On the TV screen, they wotched not only the singing groups, but olso commercials giving facts about forming in the United States between songs. Since the event was held so close to home, many people from Falls City attended. Ueli Schaub said, It was quite an experience, and I was impressed by how many different kinds of people were there.” So a little bit of history was made in Nebraska during the third (and last according to UJillie Nelson) Form Aid concert. Outside activities vary greatly Students from Mr. UJeinert's sociology doss rest on their trip to the Copitol and State Penitentiary. Sophomore Bryan Gentry takes time out from oil serious activity to shoot some poo! at J and B Arcade. Gy Tiffany Gatz During the course of the year many extra activities mere performed to keep the hustle and bustle of school's habits in a more fun perspective. Field trips mere a main source of school entertainment. They mere token not only for the pleasure of getting out of school for a day but also for learning purposes of the students. These field trips mere set up for particular dosses, such as biology, chemistry, home economics, and Cnglish dosses. The home economics dosses toured Community Hospital and even got to dress in surgical gomns, cops, and boots. Biology took q day and ment to Lincoln. They toured the School of Dentistry. Chemistry and College Bound Cnglish classes ment to Peru to viem a day at the college. These field trips mere token to prepare students for mhot college is like and mhot they hod to look formord to in their next years of their life. UUhat did students do outside of school activities in their spore time? That question rose a lot in the minds of parents. faculty, and even in the minds of the students. Usually people enjoy riding Harlan, smimming, and other sports. In sports, for example, the summer recreation program provided softball, baseball, and smim team activities. These summer sports not only provided something to do, but also kept the athletes in shape over the summer months of pure goof-off time. Some students used their time misely, but others just liked to spend their free time in pure recreation. The hang-out place of J and 8 Flrcade provided a place for students to congregate. It allomed kids to play video gomes, shoot pool, or just to go in and talk to friends mhen they mere bored. Sophomore Sharon Fldams remarked that she thought that J and B Rrcade mas a good idea because it did keep kids from running the streets and kept them out of trouble. The only trouble mas that in order to play the games, o student had to have money. Other activities that consumed the free time of students mere matching television, going to the movies, and listening to music. Finother popular activity mas matching a video movie, rented from one of the many video rental outlets in Falls City. €ven though there mere various places ond things to do around tomn, students still got bored mith them. Most students, homever, found that they could find a may to moke their omn fun during meekends and other periods of spare time. There aren't many 'fun' things to do in Foils City, but the things me do hove ore pretty fun, commented sophomore Marty Feighner.

College Bound English — college credits ... students take night classes here from Peru ... Home Ec students lunch for teachers on November 11 and 19. The most different item on the list was the College Bound English class received college credits for the course. Tom Aitken had the qualifications to enable him to be the teacher. The students took the course through Peru State College. Senior David Arnold explained why he thought the students enrolled in the class tried harder than if it was a high school course. He said, “I feel that students try harder because College Bound English is for college credits, I also believe that the students try harder, because of the fact that they are paying for the course and want to get the most out of it.” Also on the list were the meals that the foods class prepared for faculty and staff members. The two luncheons, a meal of spaghetti and French bread and one of soup and assorted salads, were prepared and served by the fourth hour class of Barb Watlington. One of the class members who helped prepare the luncheons, Chris Rainey, said, “Approximately 15 to 20 faculty members attended. I really enjoyed the experience of working on this project.” With the old classes doing new things and the new classes that were added, we prepared for something different in Academics. — By Barb Joy 22 Academics Divider Chris Rainey.

Peru State College was able to help students taking the College Bound English courses receive credits for col- 1 lege. The students could transfer their credits from these classes taken in high school to the college they attend. Senior Helen Konstanto-poulos said, I like the idea very much. It will be great to lighten the j load a little. We ll have enough things to do when we get to college and being able to receive some college credits now is an excellent benefit on our continuing education. The teacher of the College Bound English classes, Tom Aitken, said, Since a person taking College Bound English class now has an opportunity to pick up college credit for that class, the overall scope of the class Since a person taking College Bound now has an opportunity to pick up college credit for that class, the overall scope of the class changes a bit. — Tom Aitken changes a bit. He added, Students are assigned material that comes as close to paralleling the college syllabus as possible. He also stated that he gave college- type assignments to the students in the class and made the daily activities correspond with the general outline of the course. There have been discussions about other clas-1 ses being designed so that students can get college credit in them also, next year there will be an advanced chemistry class given for college credit. Besides the classes taken for college credit, students could prepare themselves for college by taking other college prep courses. These 1 classes, such as physics, trigonometry, composition, and advanced biology, were offered for students who wanted to get a good background before entering college.

The secretaries received one to help with their office work. School secretary Carolyn Young said, 1 We are just learning how to use our computer, but some of our plans are to have all of our attendance records on computer, to put the curriculum, grades, student handbook, and faculty handbook on the word processor. She added, I really think the computer will be a great asset once 1 we learn how to use it. Many classes also used the computer. Journalism students typed in their copy, composition students printed off themes, and physics students used them in an experiment. The computer classes, along with geometry students, designed pictures and did exercises to help them understand this I like the word processor because anytime I might need to type a report for a class, I can do it faster and easier. — Cindy Lampe vital piece of technology. Of course, there were always problems — like when the printer wouldn't work no matter what one tried, lost programs on disks, or if the whole computer wouldn't work. What do people like about the computers? Sophomore Cindy Lampe remarked, I like the word processor because anytime I might 1 need to type a report for a class, I can do it faster and easier. I didn't like the assignments that required me to make pictures of my own. Computers over-ail was an interesting class, and I will probably use some of the information I've used later on. Computers were used wisely throughout 1 the year. Yet, there were times for fun and games. Even the teachers found enjoyment playing with the computer!

They did their practice teaching under experienced professionals, who offered constructive criticism. Six Peru State students, all of whom were Falls City natives, who did their practice teaching were Chris Bennett, Tony Foster, Dan Goltz, Jeff Oliver, Dennis Prichard, and Craig Stevens. Although returning to his hometown had its disadvantages Dennis Prichard said, Jumping the Jug Brown Studium wall and walking to school saved a lot of time and touble. He added, A disadvantage might be that I was more conscious of what the other teachers thought about my ability and methods; I think I let that bother me. No matter where they chose to student teach, there were difficulties to overcome. Mrs. Bennett said, Correcting the students with out making them feel like I was too strict was difficult. Although it was difficult for many to make the transition from student to teacher, Mr. Oliver said, ”1 like to think my job is to instruct students and help them to learn, working toward a common goal. He added, Teachers are there for their benefit and using disciplinary actions or giving assignments , we are doing it to construct and maintain a positive learning environment. According to Mr. Stevens, it was hard not to have teacher's pets , but he added, Favoritism ends when it is time to put grades in the book. If they don't do the work, they don't get the grade. A disadvantage might be that I was more conscious of what the other teachers thought about my ability and methods; I think I let that bother me ' — Dennis Prichard Christina Worthington consults student teacher Craig Stevens on her assignment. Academics 29 _____ Students earn ______ = many awards = Teachers and students receive honors By John Janko Awards and honors came in many shapes and sizes during the annual awards convocation in the auditorium. Some new awards were given, and others were ones that had also been presented in the past. The program began with a presentation by the Applederas Show Choir, who received a superior at District Music Contest. The choir, who had not performed in front of the student body, gave the audience a sample of their talent with the songs A Book Report on Peter Rabbit and Doctor Doom. A special award was given to foreign exchange student Ueli Schaub by Principal Lewis Gellett, who claimed he was the best exchange student in the school and the area. Various teachers also presented awards to the top students in their classes. A surprise came for history teach- er Paul Weinert as he went up on stage to pass out the D.A.R. Award. The entire student body gave Mr. Weinert a standing ovation to show their appreciation since he retired at the end of the year after 25 years of teaching here. One of the awards was presented to senior art student Lisa Gellett, who won first in the state in the ITe-braska Habitat Stamp Contest. Lisa said, I felt really proud that I won. This was the second year in a row that someone from Falls City has won the Nebraska Habitat Stamp Award. She added, I hope maybe next year someone else from Falls City can win so we can keep it going. Coach Noala Fritz was also honored by her volleyball teams and cheerleading squads. This was her last year of coaching and sponsoring the two groups. f felt really proud that I won.

They toured various businesses in the community and farms in the rural areas. As part of the exchange, people from falls City then went to Omaha and met with the students there. UJhile in town, the exchange students also toured the schools. After arriving at the high school, the students who represented many different countries around the world, were given a short lecture and had an opportunity to ask questions about the school system. Student Council members were assigned to give the visitors a tour of the building, following that, the foreign students had a chance to spend more time in areas of the school that interested them.

Classes celebrate Christmas By John Janko Students recreated the German tradition of Sankt Nikolaus as a project for their German class. The German II students baked Lebkuchen, sand tarts, and chocolate chip cookies to fill their stockings, uuhich the members of all the German classes brought to school. Sankt Nikolaus was a holiday observed by many Germans, young and old. The holiday started on December 5 instead of December 25. On that day Sankt Nikolaus traveled around touun leaving goodies” in the shoes of children uuho had been good for them to be enjoyed on December 6 by those kids. The bad children received switches in their shoes. On December 6 the good kids got to watch the bad kids get swatted on the behind as a example of what happened to bod kids. The German students decided to duplicate this custom with German treats. They stopped short of leaving their shoes by the doorway, but hung stockings on the chalkboard instead. All the students taking a German class brought stockings. which were hung in the front of the room to be filled by Sankt Nikolaus the next day. German II students Brad Baumert, Robbie Craig, Violeta Karst, Denna Konstantopoulos, Barb Joy, and Matt Joy baked the cookies to be handed out during their German II class. The students went down to the kitchen to bake the cookies. The kids worked carefully but quickly to finish the cookies in time for the Christmas holiday. UUhen done, they put the goodies in their stockings in UJanda Biel's foreign language class room. Other German students went to the middle school to put cookies in the stockings of students taking German classes there. One of Ms. Biel's students, Matt Joy, suggested that the class would like to learn about the other culture's Christmas holidays. Since it was so close to Christmas, she taught them what a German Christmas was like and had them recreate the holiday of Sankt Nikolaus. Ms. Biel said, This is the the first time my German students had simulated a German Christmas tradition, and they did an outstanding job both in baking the sweets and in designing their stockings. The kids baked Lebkuchen, a sort of German honey cake, and sand tarts to go along with the other cookies. On the Monday before Christmas, the stockings were filled with all the cookies, just in time for the pre-Christmas vacation parties on Tuesday. Some students sampled the creations at school, while others took them home to share with their families. Others took them home to put on their Christmas trees as decorations. Only one student received a switch in his stocking. Brad Baumert brought a homemade cake — strawberry supreme — to Tuesday's German II party to make up for past indiscretions.

Varsity player, junior Robbie Craig commented on why the boys basketball team received new uniforms. He said, “Because we thought that we needed new ones. The uniforms were five years old.” The old uniforms were made of a heavy cloth with a tiger on the shorts and the word Tigers written across the front of the shirts. They were black and white. The new uniforms were made of a mesh mate- rial to be cooler. They also had Tigers written on them, but were outlined in orange and black. Also included on the list was junior Connie Walsh, who was selected as a spiker for the All-Tournament first team at the Peru Invitational. Connie explained how she felt when she found out. She said, “I was really excited and honored. It was really neat because not only I, but also Kim Noll was selected.” Senior and varsity captain Kim Noll was selected for the second team at Peru.

Sports Divider New attitude lifts girls Volleyball team finishes with uuinning season By Sean Stevens It feels great to prove to others, but most importantly to ourselves, that we really are winners.” — Kim Moll The varsity volleyball team started their season with an entirely different attitude. This new attitude helped them to a 12-9 season, the first winning record since 1977 and only the third since volleyball began at Falls City High. It was also the first winning season for Coach Noala Fritz and she was very pleased. She said, It is a good feeling to know that the long hours, the hard work put forth by the girls, losing my voice, and dedicating one's life to volleyball from August to November pays off.'' Coach Fritz added, “I sure hope it will continue, and it should. There were many big wins for the Lady Tigers, but junior Connie Walsh pointed to one game. She said, The biggest win for us this year was the Dawson-Verdon game. Connie added, Even though they may be class D, it's not what class you are; it's how good you are as a team. They were rated fourth in the state. Among the honors for the team during the season was a fourth place finish in the sixteen team Peru State Invitational. Individual honors went to junior Connie Walsh who was named to the All-Tournament first team and to senior Kim Noll who was named to the second team. The junior varsity finished with a winning 6-2 season. and the freshman team ended up with a 4-7 record. Senior captain Kim Noll summed up how the team members felt about the volleyball team's winning record. She said, It feels great to finally prove to others, but most importantly to ourselves, that we really are winners. Hopefully this is the start of a winning tradition at Falls City High School.

There was no coach, and there were not enough girls out to field a team. The first problem was solved when Dave Kuester was hired as head coach. Coach Kuester's workouts were different to the runners, and they helped to improve their speed and develop their endurance. But Coach Kuester Taking a break to quench his thirst after running in the Falls City Invitational is Kory Fainter. Freshmen Ann Lombardo and Jennifer Frenzel each strain to be the best at a home meet. was not a teacher which shortened the amount of time that he spent with the team members. This restricted his ability to become close to the runners. Senior Aaron Tilton said, I felt like it would have helped if we had had a teacher as a coach because he would know the athletes and vice-versa. it otherwise didn't have much effect as far as conditioning or training was involved. The season started slowly. but gradually and steadily all of the runners improved. Sophomore Kory Palmer said, The season was a success because of the amount of improvement in our times. As for the problem of not having enough runners to field a girls' team, it remained. Three girls, all freshmen, made up the team, but five members were required for the team score to qualify in competition. Why didn't more girls join the team? Freshman Gina Godeman said, I don't really know, but 1 think it's mostly based on opinion and determination to run. Overall, the season was somewhat of a success. Senior Aaron Tilton and sophomore Kory Palmer placed at some meets during the season, but there were not enough runners for a team score at the meets. Due to the lack of interest, the sport was dropped for next year. 38 Cross Country Cross Country Opponent F.C. Opp. Crete Inv. n.p. Pius X Inv. n.p. Waverly Inv. n.p.

Mow we've given them something else to talk about.” — Jason Mez Closeness leads to wins football players start slow, finish strong By Sean Stevens Led by a hard hitting, aggressive defense and a rejuvenated offense, the varsity football team recorded the first winning season at Falls City High in six years. Junior linebacker Jason Mez said, 'It feels great to have been part of the team this year. All that people had ever talked about before this year was the team of '81. now we've given them something else to talk about.” The Tigers started slowly, losing their first three games. Then the defense began to click as they shut out Tecumseh and Atchison (they scored their only points on an interception return). After one more loss, the Tigers won their last three games. Most of the players agreed that the season turned around on Homecoming night. Senior quarterback Erik McNeely said, I thought the Atchison game was the big turning point in our season. We weren't supposed to win, but somehow we pulled it out. That game gave us confidence throughout the rest of the season. A positive aspect of the season was the closeness of the players. They even had nicknames for each other and sayings they often used. The cry, LET'S QO FAT MEM,” for the offensive linemen was often heard along the sidelines. There were also E.J., Spud, Dog, and Stick. If a player screamed. AT T!'' that meant he had just rung someone's bell, signifying a good tackle. This helped the players stick together in the heat of battle and relieved some of the pressure. The varsity team's winning record was matched and surpassed by the junior varsity. They finished the season 4-1, with their only loss in an overtime game against Nebraska City and the freshmen finished 3-3.

He said, We lost nine varsity starters from last season, including six state qualifiers so we were very inexperienced at the beginning.-' Coach Munn added, All that we tried to do was have a winning season in duals, win a few trophies, and try to improve the whole team. As the year progressed, the team gained needed experience and confidence in themselves. Sophomore Bryan Gentry said, At the beginning of the season everyone was kind of skeptical at what the season had in store for them, but after we gained some of that varsity experience things started to kick in. The team proceeded to have a winning dual record. running coach Munn’s streak to 18 consecutive years. The team also qualified four individuals for the state meet. Two of them. Josh Caverzagie and Jason Mez, went on to become state champions in their respective weight classes. After starting the season by losing three of their first five duals, the varsity team finished the year with four consecutive wins to finish with a winning record of 6-3. In their quest for improve- ment, the varsity team also took home four trophies from invitational meets they wrestled in over the course of the season. An even more inexperienced junior varsity team finished the season at an even .500. They had a record of four wins and four losses.

Everyone had to earn their uniform by shooting free throws and lane shots. It set goals for everyone. It made us work more and spend more time on our shooting, which is what we needed. It also made people realize that maybe they weren't the ones who should be playing, if they didn't have a uniform, comment- Freshman nancy Huppert shoots a jumpshot while an opposing defender tries to block it.

Winning more games than they had in the past few seasons added to the difference in the Tiger team. By winning their first game, it gave them confidence for the rest of the season. I think it made a boost in our confidence in winning, because after winning the first game we knew that we were able to win many more after that, said freshman Nancy Huppert. In the middle of the season, the Lady Tigers went on a hot streak. The girls started by winning an exciting game against Hiawatha. The Hiawatha game was the most exciting. It was a close, exciting game against one of the Tigers biggest rivalries, stated freshman Amy Kerkow. The Tigers then went on to defeat Mound City, Auburn, Dawson-Verdon and Savan- nah. Following the five consecutive wins, they took a hard fall in the first round of the Hiawatha Invitational. There the girls were defeated by Marysville, Kansas. As a whole, the Lady Tigers had a season worth remembering. Winning their first game of the season, their five game winning streak, and their winning record led to a satisfying year.

The team began by losing their first five games before Christmas. Then Coach Mark Ritchie held four very hard practices over vacation, and the team's attitude changed.

The fan support picked up after those three wins and the Tigers proceeded to go 7-6 between Christmas and Districts. Assistant Coach Craig Stevens said, From the coaching point of view, when we won three games in a row, I felt a few more people showed up at our games. I felt throughout the season we had our mainstay fans such as parents, faculty, and Booster Club members. Me added, To have constant fan support, a team must be a consistent winner, and I feel Falls City is headed in that direction. The Tigers were a young team, with only four seniors on the varsity squad. Three of the five starters had never played varsity basketball before. Sophomore center Brian Wardlow skipped straight from freshman basketball last year to varsity starter this year. He said, It made me become a better player because the players I played against were much better and more was expected of me. In all, the season was a success because the team won more games in a year than the two previous teams combined. The J-V team finished 3-9 and the freshman team ended up 1-4.

They didn't place first in any invitation-als, but they were near the top in virtually every one. In total there were sixteen boys • out for golf which was a great deal more than in past years. The team consisted of six seniors, two juniors, three sophomores, and five freshmen. The best invitational for the Tigers was the Tec-umseh Invitational. The Var- sity team placed fourth out of nine teams, and were just two strokes from placing second. They also received two medals; Grant Svoboda placed first and Erik McMeely placed sixth. The Tecumseh Invitational was also a Junior Varsity tournament. The Tiger J-V's placed first out of the eight other teams that attended. Three of the golfers from Falls City placed at Tecumseh; Jason Merz placed second, Brian Couse placed By Jason Merz eighth, and Brad Baumert placed twelfth. Gary Rieschick commented on his first year of playing Varsity golf. He said, Playing Varsity was a lot of fun and more competitive than I first believed. Throughout the year the golfers continued to improve. They endured bad weather the first few weeks of the season , but all of them strived to do their best. Freshman Aaron Sullivan re- marked, ’Golf season was fun; it was nice to have a sport with less pressure and a more relaxed atmosphere in the spring.

There is more of a desire to win and a better attitude toward practice. — Aaron Tilton Teams' attitudes change Underclassmen make contributions to track By Sean Stevens As the first crack of the starter's pistol at Boy's Town and Doane signaled the beginning of the boys' and girls' track seasons respectively, members of both teams began to wonder what would happen when their event began. All of those long weeks of preseason practice were about to pay off. There was a different attitude on the teams. Junior high jumper Connie Walsh thought what had made her successful was, ... my attitude because it seems like now I want to do better and try harder, whereas when I was a freshmen, I was just out for the fun of it. Senior distance runner Aaron Tilton felt that there was also a better attitude on the boys' team. He said, The attitude has changed for the better. There is more of a desire to win and a better attitude toward practice. With only three seniors on each of the teams, under- classmen were counted on to contribute heavily. Of the eight state qualifiers, only two were seniors. Sophomore triple jumper Brian Wardlow became one of the top scorers on the boys' team, he said, It wasn't really that difficult for me because the competition was easier for me because of my progress over the year and the graduation of last year's seniors. Freshman shot putter Nancy HuDDert was also a Sophomore pole vaulter Dennis Nez clears the bar easily at the Falls City Invitational. On his way to a second place finish, junior high jumper Shannon Stokes makes this attempt. Freshman Michelle Brown races over her hurdle just a fraction ahead of her Auburn opponent at fiebraska City. state qualifier. She said, High school track is different because it seems that there are more people involved in each event. It seems that it isn't as hard to win an event in junior high as it is to win one in high school. Over the year the boys won two meets and both teams consistently placed high. Putting everything into her throw at Fiebraska City is senior shot putter Donna Sesna. Three sports moke state Jason, Josh win first; Seon takes second By Tony Schawang It was really hard to believe.

Me said, ' I’d never trade it for anything in the world. After the referee raised his hand in victory in the state finals, Josh Caverzagie said, It was really hard to believe. It didn't hit me until my dad came over and gave me a hug.'' Coach Larry Munn said, I was pleased with the whole season, most of all with the two state champions.'' He added, it was great! When one considers the work and dedication that is endured during the wrestling season, culminating with a state championship is the ultimate. Being a golf state qualifier gave Grant Svoboda very positive feelings. Me said, Since last year was such a personal let down, I feel that I've worked harder since, and winning districts and going to state is the pay off I deserve for my efforts. Grant was unlucky at state, though. After playing twelve holes in Alliance, he was in second place when the tournament was postponed due to rain. They moved the match to Moldrege the following week and erased the scores from the previous play. During the track state meet, Sean Stevens was able to catch a second place in the triple jump. He said, Going to state was a feeling I was used to from the last two years, but it still was a great feeling. Placing was even better; also it was my career best. My last jump ever was undescribable.'' Sean wasjoined at state by the sixth place finishes of Connie Walsh and Haney Huppert.

F-Club Athletic Banquet 55 Olympic games attract much attention By Tony Schowong The 1988 Olympic uiinter gomes were held ot Calgary, Canada. and the summer games were at Seoul. Korea. The United States team had a few troubles with the winter games: slips, falls and even complete mess ups. But with all of this they were still able to come with a few golds and other medals. During the summer games in Korea, the United States came olive within the track and field events. The gymnastics were a bottle for every team involved in the events. Weight lifting emphasized bigger biceps, stronger legs, and quicker moves. UJith the craze of looking better and feeling better, many people's main objective was to pump iron. Pictures of Tom Platz and Lee Haney ran through people's minds as the pictures of a perfect body. Not only the guys, but also the gals were lifting as well. fls the summer approached, minds were set on baseball, swim team, golf, and other activities. People put away their basketballs, wrestling singlets, and winter coats to break out nil St or wrestlers show whot their sport is dl obout during o motch ot Prichard Auditorium. 56 Sports Mini Mag the baseball bats, golf clubs, and swimming suits. Hot weather set in and spring training was well underway. UUith only a few short weeks to prepare for the first games of the season, everyone gave it all they could muster, and some of them gave a little more to get the job done as best as possible. Cveryone had their own favorite pastime to get by the hot summer months. Many sports interest students By Tony Schowong FI flip of o coin, the screech of the whistle, the ring of the bell, and the gomes began. Sports, from fill Star Wrestling to Nebraska Cornhuskers to the many pro teams, kept us on the edge of our seats, eyes fixed to the TV or gome field, and ears reaching out for sound. The '87 and '88 sport seasons were full of ups ond downs. In the pro arena, the homer hankie croze, started by o newspaper woman in Minneapolis, added o new dimension to fan participation in baseball. The Minnesota Twins dominated the St. Louis Cardinals at the World Series. With the end of the baseball season, thoughts turned to football, and it wos at first questionable whether there would be anything worth watching. Due to on NFL player strike, scab” teams were formed. But in o few weeks, the strike wos over and it was business as usual. The season ended os the Denver Broncos bowed to the Washington Bedskins in the Super Bowl. Hopes were high in the foil for a notional championship for the Nebraska football team. The undefeated Cornhuskers come into the Oklahoma game rated 1 against the Sooners 2. Hopes were dashed, though, as the Huskers lost to Oklahoma ond then went down to defeat ogoin in the Fiesta Bowl against Florida State. The Cornhuskers finished the season with o 5 notional ranking. Something new wos added for Foils City basketball fans in the fall. The Annual Bed and White basketball game of the Nebraska Cornhuskers was played at the Prichard Auditorium. Also held at Prichard Auditorium was a night of All Star Wrestling. In recent years, the rassling craze has filled everyone's living rooms as Hulk Hogan flexed, Jimmy Hart bellowed into his megaphone, and the British Bulldogs with their moscot Matilda ripped through the tog team matches. But how long will this craze last. Gary Grady said, Professional rassling will be around as long as people like to watch actors act out a part in a play. The Falls City students had a chance to learn about and watch a new sport. During an assembly in the high school gym, they were introduced to Spaceball, a game played on trampolines. Students from the audience were selected to face off against each other In this exciting gome. The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. We all have suffered and rejoiced. A tribute goes to the athlete. The ones who kept smiling through thick and thin. They knew they tried their hardest, even if victory was not in their grasp. From amateur to pro, both the young and old athletes, all of them are winners, one in the same. Football would be starting soon again, and training was going on like clockwork for the new season. We would start the season all over again; new champions and hardship would be dished out. Sports . . . where would we be without the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

That was what the two journalism classes determined should be on the list for organizations. First on the list was a new group called F.H.A. or Future Homemakers of America. It was a group for both boys and girls, to help them enter society and be an active part of it through home economics. Senior Bobbie Adams said, “It didn’t come across to me as very interesting, but the more I thought about it and the more I looked into it, the more interesting it became. It provides many fun activities.” Another item was Applederas received first place for their performance at Peru for the first time. Peru State College Show Choir Clinic was started seven years ago. The director for Applederas was Mildred Appleoff. She explained, “The Peru competition comes very early in the year. Often it is difficult to have a SOLID full set — music and choreography — ready by that time. The big difference this time was the talent and experience of the group.” She added, “If they keep working hard and caring as they do, this should be one of the best show choirs ever for FCHS.” Because of the new groups and activities, it truly was a time for something different in Organizations. — By Barb Joy 58 Organizations Divider Seniors Helen Konstantopoulos, Deanna Ear-hart. and Brenda Lampe watch the new choreography being performed at Applederas practice.

Club inducts members By Susan Kirkendall On the evening of April 20, both old and new members of the Falls City chapter of the national Honor Society gathered together at the cafeteria of the middle school. A potluck supper was held for the members and their families. nineteen members were inducted into the chapter, which was a lower number than in previous years. The group consisted of five seniors, three juniors, and eleven sophomores. The students were chosen for their outstanding qualities and abilities. The induction ceremony was a very special service. Four candles were placed on a table at the front of the cafeteria. Each candle represented one of the four principles of service. scholarship, character, and service. These were the criteria through which membership in the club was attained. One of the members of the honor club, Connie Walsh, said, I feel very honored to have been chosen for this society. It is nice to be recognized for your achievements, especially when it is your teachers that recommend you for this honor of your academic achievements. The underclass club members also helped out with the senior's graduation ceremonies. They recognized their senior members by presenting them with yellow roses at graduation. They also ushered before the ceremonies began. 60 Student Council Stu Co By Susan Kirkendall Student Council members started off the year by welcoming us back to school. President Gabriel Lardizabal welcomed the freshmen to their first day of high school during a convocation. The club members held monthly meetings in the library to plan the different activities that they would sponsor throughout the year. The first one on the list was Homecoming. Their agenda included planning the events of Spirit Week and the parade. In December they held the Candy Cane Crusade for the second year in a row. The main difference was that proceeds from the fund drive were donated to the needy people in earns money our community to help pay their heating bills throughout the winter. The crusade made over $200. In April Stu Co members helped raise money for the American Cancer Society. They collected dedications for fifty cents each and then broadcast them from KTPiC. Disc jockeys for the event were sophomores Bryan Gentry and Kory Palmer. One of the council members, Tiffany Anderson, felt that the group provided a service for the school. She said, I feel that the Student Council is a very important part of our school. We are here to help raise the school spirit, and if any of the students have complaints, we are here to listen and help in any way that we can.''

There, people danced for hours, ate cookies brought by each member, and maybe even got a chance to sit on Santa's lap. Many members of the club put in hours of time to make the dance a success. Miss Biel said, Christmas Prom went pretty well, attendance was good, and there were many talented and dedicated students that decorated north School gymnasium for the event.'' The Foreign Language Club also sold candy this year. They did this as a money-making event. The members sold lots of delicious candy for their trip in May.

Different made it difficult By Jeanne Mullins The journalism classes had a difficult time coming up with a theme for the yearbook, neither class could agree on a theme that everyone liked well enough to work with it. Junior Paula Benitz exclaimed, We had more problems picking a theme than we did making the whole yearbook! The two classes finally decided that they didn't want the same old colors. They wanted something new and different. They wanted bright colors, but they didn't want the yearbook to look like a rainbow. For days the classes tried to think up a theme, but none of the themes would work with a design. Adviser Judi Carter kept after the classes until they finally picked out some themes, and narrowed the choices down to two. Both seventh hour and fourth hour journalism classes voted and made the final choice. Co-editor Barb Joy said, The most important part of journalism was picking out a theme. It was also the har- dest. neither class could decide, but we all knew we wanted something different. The yearbook took a lot of time and work to put together, but in the end it was bright, colorful, and definitely different.

Sweetheart Dance. By Barb Joy The cheerleaders began their seasons differently. They organized together as a whole organization instead of separate squads. They elected officers instead of having captains as in the past. Senior Ginger Hall, a third year cheerleader, explained why she thought the officers was both a good and bad idea. She said, It is more organized as a whole. But not, because each individual group should have a cap-tain. Things would go a lot smoother if they had both! The officers were Ginger Hall, president; Belinda Vernon, vice-president; Lisa Gellett, secretary-trea-, surer. There was more cooperation between the fall and winter squads. All of the girls were put to work getting ready for their dances. They also worked together to honor the senior athletes and cheerleaders in their seasons. Another difference was the number of girls leading the cheers. Football was the biggest squad with nine girls. Basketball and wrestling both had six cheerleaders. First year cheerleader, junior Tami Schawang, gave her ideas on being one of the nine football cheerleaders. She commented, I think that most of the cheerleaders on our squad became good friends those months we had to be together.

They sponsored the first semi-formal Sweetheart Dance on February 20. The big event for the members was the induction ceremony. It was when the officers were installed. Barbara Watlington, F.H.A. chapter advisor, commented on the ceremony. She said, During a candlelighting ceremony, members read the eight purposes of F.H.A. Officers were installed as they stat- ed the duties of their office and promised to uphold them. Each officer received one red rose as they were sworn in.

They performed music from musicals, such as Waitin' for the Light to Shine from Big River and I Only Want to Say from Jesus Christ Superstar with soloist Steve Walker. The chorus students, under the direction of Mildred Appleoff, performed choralography to the song 'I Only Want to Say . A strobe light was added to help enhance the choir's movements. Aaron Tilton and Loyal Parsons were in charge of the lighting system. Spring was a very busy time for the chorus members. They also went on a choir tour where they performed at Highland, Kansas, and St. Joe, Missouri. After performing, the choir went on to Kansas City to see the Nelson Art Gallery and go for a trolley ride. That evening they attended the musical Do! I Do! at the Heartland Theater. Afterwards they were able to meet with the actors. The lead role was played by Barry Williams who played Greg Brady on the Brady Bunch. Heather Marteney really enjoyed the musical. She said, it was a lot of fun to see a musical with professional actors in it. The professionals really know what they're doing, and they like what they're doing so it makes for an excellent performance. It was also fun to meet the actors afterwards. The choir really had a busy year, but they made it to the end. They rounded the year off with a superior at the District Music Contest. Not only did they receive a superior, but they also got superiors from each of the three judges. That has only happened once in the past five years. Mildred Appleoff directs the second hour chorus as they rehearse a song for the choir tour. Marsha Mies assists the choir and Mrs. Appleoff during a rehearsal by playing the piano. Meat her Rowell.

Applederas gets new look By Steve Walker Picking out new outfits was first priority for the Applederas Show Choir. They met long before school started to mix and match shirts, pants, and dresses for a new look. It was a tough decision and took a lot of time. The show choir had an incredibly successful year. Several new members were added. These new members enhanced the group greatly. One of the new members, Aaron Comer, enjoyed being part of such a successful organization. It was fun from rehearsals, to performing in competition, to performing for local organizations. I felt that the success of the show choir was great because we went up against some stiff competition and Mrs. A always had us prepared. Aaron was correct; the year was a success. The members performed their best and received top awards at all of the events in which they participated. The show choir received a trophy at the Peru State College show choir contest, second place trophies at the Maryville and Nebraska City contests, and a superior rating at the District Music Contest. To wrap up the year, the show choir participated in the second annual UNL invitational. The Applederas members were among five Class B show choirs who were invited to perform.

Some of the members were in the group before, but a majority were new to the show choir. ding experience. The best part of performing is when you can see the people out there tapping a foot or singing along with you.'' She added, You know you have truly accomplished something when you reach out for their hand and all of a sudden Throughout the year, the girls competed at contests and at organizational meetings around town. The community performances kept the girls on their toes. They also performed at several of the nursing homes in the area. Senior Lisa Wing thoroughly enjoyed these performances. She said, Performing at the nursing homes was a very rewar- their face just lights up. The girls performed at three contests and did their best at each one. In the fall they went to Peru for the Peru State College show choir contest. In the spring they performed at the Mebraska City Lourdes contest. Shortly after the Mebraska City contest, they received a superior rating at the District Musk Contest in Auburn.

Junior Jared Wittwer said, I think we did good overall because the freshman learned so fast.’' The band competed at three different marching contests. Two of them were invitationals, one in Lincoln and the other in Omaha. The third contest was the state band contest. People from all over Nebraska went to Omaha and performed their shows. The band did very well at all three contests. They received excellents on all of the performances. Mr. Svoboda kept the band involved in many different things. When they weren't practicing for marching contests, he had them performing at halftime during the home football games. They also marched in the Cobblestone, Homecoming, and Veteran's Day Parade, as well as the Parade of Champions. The band had many fund-raisers because they were Florida bound. They sold the annual soup supper tickets and band calendars. Mr. Svoboda gave members a chance to knock some of the money off their trip by selling raffle, tickets for groceries and working in the concession stand. The members put a lot of effort and work into the band to make it the best it could be. Senior Donna Sesna said, “This was the best year because we got to go on the trip.'' Brad Baumert. Sean Stevens and Jon Scribner keep the beat going during practice. Making up part of the brass section are Ueli Schaub, Tony Schawang. Aaron Comer, and Dawn Bray.

With a handful of students, a few drops of talent, and an eager director, the year rolled by, or better yet, bounced on by. The stage band was not one of the best. The lack of interest and time were the biggest factors. First semester the band only had a few interested players, only three in fact. But as second semester came around, more people decided to join in the fun and be a part of the growing group. With these extra people, they were able to play. Over the years, the stage band has been going down hill very rapidly. People have either not the time for the class, or the desire to play in the band. Still anyone can safely say that the band, in its small numbers, tried hard. Senior Grant Svoboda briefly described the stage band and said, I think the quality of the group was as good as it ever has been, but interest in playing has dropped among the students — not only for the stage band, but for the larger band as well. he added, For me it is sad to see such a good program disappear as it has been for the last four years. The end may be near, but it's not over yet. Flag Corps members are, FIRST ROW — Cherie Hahn and Shannon Jenkins. SECOHD ROW — Susan Kirkendalf Holly Merz, Lori Malcolm, and Kim noil.

Flags whirled to the sound of the band from behind; counting to eight could have never been that much fun. The Flag Corps received a 1 in the band contest at Seacrest Field for their performance to the song Surf City, played by the band. They were graded with the band at the state band contest held in Lincoln, and they received a 2 . Senior Kim Noll explained the best part of being in Flag Corps. She said, The best part of my senior year in Flag Corps was probably at our first contest when we got a Superior. It was greal seeing the look on Mrs. Fritz s face when they announced it. It makes you feel really proud to be a part of the group. She added, All of our hard work had finally paid off. It felt really good to be part of the group that had earned a Superior. Another exciting event was that Flag Corps members were also able to go to Florida with the marching band for a week of fun in the sun. They left right after school got out. The girls' group also received new flags. They were more colorful, containing white, black, silver, and orange.

Organizations provide education By Tracy Duerfeldt The definition of on organization is a number of persons or groups having specific responsibilities and united for a particular purpose. Organizations offered o chance for a scholarship to every senior ujho filled out on application. Seniors needed to take time to answer a few questions about their background including parents, their employment, and financial need. There were also the questions which concerned achievements in both school and extra-curricular activities. This included church and community activities os well as state and national awards. Some students questions never seemed to be completely answered, As to whether all students who applied received a fair chance, senior Lori Malcolm commented, I feel that many scholarships are being abused due to the fact thot the organiza- tion does not look at the overall picture of the applicant, but only focuses on the student's GPA . Many seniors felt this way. There are those, though, who felt that all students had a fair chance. If you keep up your grades, and keep a level head, you have just as good a chance os the next person, stated senior Kelli Sells. This seemed to be the most realistic answer to the problem. UJith hard work, one hod an equal chance of achieving goals. Besides offering scholarships to students, organizations provided other opportunities that contributed to on individual’s personal growth. examples of these included the strong Summer Rec progrom in Falls City. Volunteers provided a chance for youth of all ages to ploy baseball and softball, and participate on the Swim Team. Other examples included such youth oriented programs as the Jaycee's basketball program, Band Parent's. Booster Club, €lk's Club, Legion Club, and the County extension Service. Groups from the American Heart Association, Community Hospital, and the Volunteer Ambulance Squad broadened our education in the field of heolth. The American Heart Association provided classes on CPR, the Community Hospital sponsored Organ Donor lileek, and the Ambulance Squad was on standby at the football games. Often these organizations were overlooked even though they shared an important part of the students' lives. These organizations and many others provided the school-aged children of Falls City with various opportunities to broaden their horizons and enjoy their youth.

The one item that affected the most people was the new faculty members and other teachers teaching classes other than the ones they taught before. The new teachers there were Gary Grady and Carol Moeller. Among the teachers who were teaching different classes than before were Noala Fritz, Mildred Appleoff, and John Svoboda. Mrs. Fritz started teaching Biology I again. Mrs. Appleoff and Mr. Svoboda taught the Middle School chorus and band at a different age level than before. Mrs. Moeller taught Spanish II, III, and IV. Deanna Earhart, a senior taking Spanish II, commented on why she thought it was a good idea. She said, “Having Mrs. Moel- ler take over those classes has given Ms. Biel more time to continue her building of the foreign language department.” New drama and speech teacher, Gary Grady, explained the difference between being a full time teacher and being a substitute. He said, “I have found out when you have a teaching responsibility everyday, you live it everyday. When you substitute teach, you really don’t take the classroom situations home with you as the next day you may be teaching in a different building with different reponsibili-ties.” The list for people had to have been the hardest to write. But considering that everyone changed their classes, we decided there truly was something different in People. — By Barb Joy Dan Clark and Veronica Waggoner help decorate the junior hall, a part of the activities during Homecoming Week.

People Divider 79 acuity earns professional growth By Tacy Kirkendall Teachers were said to spend as much time, if not more, in school as out of school. This was because they also attended school themselves. This process was referred to as professional growth. It was made a law in 1982 that all teachers in Nebraska be required to have at least twenty four points for every five year period. Our school district adopted a professional growth policy whereby teachers could earn points in various ways. Classes and activities, such as workshops, night classes, and college courses attended by each teacher, achieved those particular teacher's points. Norma Thompson commented on professional growth. She said, As it is mandated by state legislature that teachers have so many hours of schooling or the equivalent amount to maintain tenure, professional growth point alternative is very important. She added, However, 1 feel that most any professional will seek professional growth activi- ties anyway, to keep current, explore new areas and increase personal self-worth. Larry Godwin said, Teacher accountability is okay, and I can live with it. I am wondering about student accountability. There were thousands of professionals in the field of education. Perhaps not everyone nor every state agreed with the professional growth system, yet dedicated teachers who cared about their job and the students continued to leam as much as he or she were able to, as history progressed and grew more complex. Because without their current data, we, the students, are left in the dark ages, too. Wanda Biel agreed with this philosophy and said, Teaching methods change and teachers need to update these current skills constantly. Professional growth provides an opportunity to meet colleagues in the same field. Teachers needed to earn their points by the September 1988 deadline.

After a hard day at the ole' desk, lecturing seventeen to twenty-some kids six periods a day, teachers deserved any possible spare time given. Weekends proved to be the most reasonable time available for the majority of the teachers. Although many had homes to take care of, families to think of, night class homework to accomplish, and the never ending work from the daytime teaching jobs to do, spare time was needed. Yet, how was most of the time spent away from school? Paul Weinert said, Quite a bit of the time is spent reading. I read several newspapers and news magazines, as well as books. Most of the latter are on history. I also watch some television.” Me added, My wife and I enjoy traveling. We sometimes go for drives and enjoy eating in different restaurants. We spend some of our time at our farm. We work with crops in season and cattle year round. Not only was it needed. spare time was also greatly enjoyed by a numerous amount of teachers. Wanda Biel commented on the subject of spare time by stating, I enjoy going to classical music concerts, movies, visiting my friends and going shopping. Ron Roggenkamp added his favorite activities. He said, “Most of my spare time involves relaxing activities. I have many interests and hobbies. Some of these include reading, watching television, collecting coins, Zane Grey books, and Saturday Evening Post magazines with John Falter covers, working on my home computer, and when time permits, I do a little fishing and golfing. So as read, a number of our teachers spent their free time participating in work, sports, hobbies and collections, families, and last, but not least, their priorities. Spare time was very easily defined by the teacher, the student, or anyone as a time to sit back, relax and enjoy their favorite pastimes. Because without spare time, it would be all work and no play, which would make the days seem longer. John Svoboda — Band.

The freshman had to start all over again from the top at middle school to the bottom at high school. Freshman Jason McMeely said, The transition fromju-nior high to high school for me wasn't very tough, but getting used to a bigger school was slightly difficult, but I knew a lot of people and my brother helped.'' True, older siblings and friends had often been a big help, yet many times through life we were on our own, to make singular decisions. This affected freshmen, such as Jason McNeely and many others, yet, on the oth- er hand, there were freshman it did not affect. Ann Lombardo said, First of all, I was hardly the leader' at middle school even as one of the eighth graders. I was still a follower' because there were always other girls to be the leaders.' She added, I did not mind coming to high school and being the baby because at least I knew that someone will not be over me every second of the day waiting to scold me if I do a wrong thing. While coming to high school did start a new cycle for the freshmen, they looked at it in different ways. Some did not mind starting at the bottom again, but it was a traumatic change for the rest of the newcomers. Troy Anderson said, 'It felt like going through sixth grade again.

They had to get used to the new environment, different teachers, and many more responsibilities, along with much more variety. The variety at high school was what the upcoming freshmen most looked forward to because it was something new. For example, there were a variety of classes from which the freshmen were able to choose. Freshman Jason Schock said, I think the choices this year compared to last year are great. I like the choices of classes. Although as a freshman, there are not very many electives to choose from.'' Even though there were not many electives, the freshmen had more choices than in the past. Freshman Brenda Packett said, Being able to choose my own classes gives me a goal that 1 am able to set for my future plans.'' She added, When you are able to make your own decisions, you are on your way of becoming a responsible person. riot only did the freshmen select what classes they took, they also were able to choose where they wanted to spend their lunch hour. Freshman Jason Schock added, “I like the choice of where to go for lunch. It gives you a chance to get your mind off of school.

As a sophomore, there were less required classes, fewer doubts and much more freedom. Being older also meant more responsibility, acting old enough to be a sophomore, and handling the fact of being older. Being a sophomore holds different feelings for every class member. Sophomore holly Merz said, I am kind of sad because it has gone by too fast. I hope the next two years do not go as fast because I want to have more fun than I have already had.-' As a sophomore there were fewer required classes, but sophomores didn't forget those English II, math, science, and history classes that were required. Yet, to some, they realized that was only the beginning. Sophomore Kory Palmer said, I am not glad that high school is almost over because I think it is a lot easier than college life will ever be. Having finished two years of high school, it seemed almost like an end, yet in a sense it was only the beginning of the sophomores' lives. They had two more years of high school, plus more schooling for some, jobs, and much more in their futures.

Sophomores earned starting positions on the boys' basketball, volleyball and wrestling teams, among others. What did it actually take to jump right on the different varsity teams? It took many hours of practice during team practices and on their own time, a lot of hard work, determination, and support from parents, fellow class mates, faculty, and coaches. Valerie Sailors, who played varsity volleyball, said, 1 think it is a good opportunity to be able to play on the varsity team. The experience should help me with my junior and senior years of playing.'' Ryan Rieschick, a varsity wrestler, said, It feels great, and I think it is a great opportunity for me.'' He added, I feel that I have earned this position by showing them that I can wrestle.'' But were these young athletes that moved so quickly into varsity sports learning as much as the ones that went step-by-step? Brian Wardlow, a varsity player on the boys' basketball team, said, Yes, I think I probably have learned as much because it has allowed me to become a better player which has let me have a chance to start varsity this year.'' All in all, for the most able to participate in varsity sports, it proved to be an exciting year. Yet, many times the older athletes tended to feel that the younger athletes were given too many opportunities for their own good. But since we learn through trying, experience, and much hard work, the sophomores playing on varsity teams did make future sports look promising.

Sophomores 91 uniors look for port-rime jobs By Kira Merz Applying for a job was one of the usual activities on the junior schedule. Many of the juniors applied at any place in town, but only a lucky few got called back. Tony Schawang said, Looking for a job all over town and coming home empty handed is very frustrating, not only for me but for my parents also. They feel I should earn money for myself. He added, 'Without a job I feel like a mooch asking my parents for money. Sometimes it seems like 1 would work anywhere for anything as long as I had a steady income. But then there were always the lucky ones that did get called back. Mary Beth Pierson, who found a job, said, The money is good, and I enjoy helping people, but I hate it when you have homework the same night that you have to work. It is hard getting used to, but so far I like it! Having a job had many ad- vantages. Students with jobs had spending money, were taught responsibility, and prepared for future careers. But along with the advantages, there were also disadvantages. Between school and jobs, there was very little free time, not only for homework but also socially. For most, a part-time job was considered a benefit. But finding any sort of occupation, on the other hand, was another area. Living in a small town with numerous eligible students able to work made it hard to track down anything whatsoever. Then even if students happened to find employment, the employer often required and expected certain things. For instance, one had to be 16 and place work before their social lives. Some even expected experience from previous jobs. Yet the juniors had to start somewhere in the working world, why not with a part-time job? Waiting to get their class pictures taken.

Sixteen juniors from Paul Wienert's history class were joined by juniors from other high schools in the county. The students spent the day at the courthouse learning how the government system worked. Each of the students involved was assigned a different area of the goverment to study. One of the participants, Tiffany Anderson, who represented our school as county magistrate, said, The thing I enjoyed most was learning how our county government worked. Danny Couse, who spent the day in the county engineer's room, said, The thing I liked most was learning what each person did. After the students spent the morning in various departments of government, they were treated to a lunch at the Oasis. After lunch was served, the students returned to the courthouse for a presenta- tion on the fallout shelter in the basement of our county courthouse. The presentation talked about what it would be like if there was a nuclear war. Speaking about what they learned, David Shields said, The presentation was very interesting, but something I am not looking forward to at all. When the presentation was over, the students were dismissed for the rest of the afternoon.

Juniors 95 eniors soy good-bye to friends by Tacy Kirkendall Saying good-bye to old friends was hard, especially when they had been together for so long. That was how the seniors felt as they neared graduation. This was true for the Class of '88 since many had grown up together. The fall of 1975 brought some of these students together for the first time. 61% of the seniors started kindergarten together 13 years ago. These seniors were joined in grade school by another 17% of their graduating class. During their years together, friendships between class members were made and broken. By the end of their senior year, many were glad to be getting out of high school, but sad to say goodbye to friends. David Schwartz, one of the stu- dents who started kindergarten in Falls City, said, I feel good to see us finally going into the world, but it's bittersweet knowing we'll never be a group again. Another member of the class since 1975, Mitzi Deckinger, agreed with David that saying good-bye was going to be hard. She said, It is going to be sad to leave the people who I am really close to. Some people it won't bother me too much or at least until I'm gone and realize that they are not here. Wondering if they would ever see their friends again was another question that bothered the seniors. Kelli Sells said, “It's very hard to say good-bye, knowing that you may never see them again.

The majority of the class planned to go to college or simply get a well-paid job and, of course, live happily-ever-after. Though the decisions had been made, many were not positive of how these were going to be accomplished. For instance, where were they going? When were they going to be finally ready to go? And the big question, how were they going to pay for their dreams? On the other hand, most were positive they were moving on, and out of Falls City. David Shwartz commented on his future plans. He said, I plan to go to college, then live in a suburban area. My planned career probably will not bring me back to Falls City. He added, Ten years from now I plan to be a father of one or two, living in Den- ver, Kansas City, or perhaps Omaha, making twenty to thirty thousand dollars per year. Did many of the 1987-88 seniors really know how they would see themselves ten years from now? Many made good guesses of where they hoped to be! Sean Stevens had wild dreams and said, ' Driving a Porsche with a beautiful blonde on each arm. Yet others made more down-to-earth predictions. Steve Walker said, Ten years from now I see myself as a husband, possibly a father, with a career as a music educator. There were the few who planned to establish their homes in FallsCityafterhigh school. Mike Snook said, “Ten years from now I see myself being a beach bum in Hawaii, but until then I plan to remain employed at LiF Duffer.

The majority of that 22% found it was not all that complicated to become involved within the school system. Deanna Earhart commented on this. She said, It was pretty easy. The first day two girls took me around and helped me out. They got me acquainted with other people and with the new school. The Senior Class members, whether new or old, were for the most part as close as a class could be. They made and finalized decisions together. They stood close beside each other at the Homecoming bonfires and won the class chant all four years. They supported each other in various activities such as sports, music contests, etc. Yet there were the very few who had formed opposite opinions on becoming involved in a relatively new school system. Helen Kon-stantopoulous said, I moved here for my sophomore year. It was very hard to get friends. Hot many people were open. I made lots of different friends my junior year, but my senior has been best, friendship wise. Concerning making friends, Bobbie Adams said, 'After I moved back from Se-dalia, Kansas, it was hard to come back to Falls City, but after I was here for awhile it was easy to see that people had changed, and I'm glad I returned back to Falls City. On the other hand, Mike Kaster simply said, It was pretty hard. Consequently, some students moving into the Falls City community found it easy to make new friends, while others did not become so easily involved.

That was just what the Senior Class had. During their junior year, they sold an over abundance of magazines in order to have a good prom. With plenty of money, they were able to have a nice prom and yet had a large sum left over. So came their senior year, and the question brought up at the first class meeting was how should we spend the $1500 in our account? Many different suggestions were given. Finally some decisions were made. Brad Baumert said, We held a class meeting in the auditorium and people merely raised their hands and made their suggestions. One suggestion was to purchase a large picture frame to put this year's senior pictures in. Another suggestion was to buy memorial plaques for Rodney Mez and Jeff Strasil. Then there was a suggestion to bring the picture frame for the senior pictures and the memorials together into what the seniors called the senior picture panel. Kim Moll explained, It's a memorial for Jeff and Rodney and also something for the people to remember the whole Class of 88. The seniors also voted to spend $750 to have their senior pictures in color in the yearbook. Belinda Vernon said, I think we should use our class money, after all we earned it, we should get to spend it the way we want. I think most of the seniors want our pictures in color.

Seniors 96G Jeff Alan Strasil, a member of the Class of 1988, died at the age of 17 at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, on June 12, 1987. Jeff was struck by lightning while at a Civil Air Patrol encampment. he was just a boy at heart... He started life in a backward way. He began to pick up speed as his learning days went by. Things never came very easy; he was just a boy at heart. He spent time with those he loved. He would work hard when he wanted to. He played when ever the opportunity came up. But in reality, he was just a boy at heart. As he grew older, he pondered about what he would be. At first, he thought he'd become a fireman and help save those in need. Later, he wanted to go into the service and keep our country free. He loved this country and he was willing to fight for it on land, air, and sea. He tried very hard at everything he did, the sports he was in and the studies he had in school. Some gave him a chance, and he would shine for those who did. Many had great praise for him, while others thought of him as a foolish person. But we must remember, he was just a boy at heart. He joined the Civil Air Patrol so he could help his fellow man. While there he was taught many virtues, and it gave him the incentive to reach goals he had set for himself. He was improving upon them when his untimely departure occurred. He loved many things both great and small. We really know little about him for he lived in a world of his own, and in that world he felt safe and secure. It was a stormy day when he came into it, and later it was a storm that took him from us. He was always walking to the beat of a different drum. So therefore we must realize, in reality, he was really just a boy at heart. — Sylvia Strasil 96H Seniors Scholarships total over $194,260 Much time was spent by the seniors throughout the spring in writing to different schools, clubs, and foundations with scholarship applications.

How four years later on May 22,1988, 66 of those students graduated. Ginger Hall stated that her feelings now were much different from the day she walked into the building. She said, I was very nervous. I wasn't for sure if I would find my class in time. But after a week or so I was fine. But now I feel that I have matured a lot more since the first time I walked in. The graduates went through many changes during their high school years. Most would agree that it was the most memorable time of their lives. Their high school days would stay with them forever. Michele Fritz said, “There was not really one most memorable time; they were all memorable. But if I had to name a few it would be my Junior Prom. I went with Tacy and Leslie, we had a lot of fun that night. Michele added, “But I enjoyed all of the big dances; it was fun getting dressed up and watching everyone else getting all dressed up, too. Following the four years of changes, the graduates went through the ceremony with the usual processional and the baccalaureate given by Rev. Saul. Then Salutatorian David Schwartz and Valedictorian Stefan Hussenoeder urged their classmates to find happiness. Lewis Gel-lett, high school principal, presented the students, who were given their diplomas by the members of the school board. The benediction was given by Rev. Varner, and the graduates marched out to the music of the recessional. 98 Graduation Seniors Tracy Duerfeldt, Nary El-wonger.

Graduation tsm Lu Favorite selections chosen by students By Down Sullivan The yearbook staff members decided to take o few surveys on some favorites of the student body. Fourteen categories ujere surveyed throughout the school, and responses varied so widely that only two were selected. Flmong some of the categories not used were favorite movies, songs, television shows and cartoons, to name o few. After the tabulation of the surveys, three new eating establishments were added to Foils City: Breadeaux French Style Pisa, lo-rio's (Mexican food place), and Hardees. How would these establishments affect the town of Foils City? Senior Chris UJhite commented, I feel that if three new enterprises come to town that our town is expanding and coming of age. Two of the three ore corporations that will odd to more morketobility to Foils City in the future.

It’s not just a hamburger and fries town anymore — we finally hove Mexican food! Old — I think oil of them will go over big.” Cveryone was excited about the new eating establishments, but only time would tell os to whether they become big hits or not.

By Dawn Sullivan Fads and Fashions — was there really a difference? It has been said that history repeats itself, but was that true? From year to year fashions have changed, if a closer look was taken back into the past, it might appear that fashions run in cycles. Junior Tami Schawang said, I think we are repeating the times because old songs and fashions are coming back. The long skirts and any length in between have been around for quite some time. The types of skirts weren't the only styles that were being revived. Various attire made from denim and leather were also a main attraction. Accessories, such as scarves were another big hit, along with bold prints and loud colors. Senior Lisa tiling said, Times are repeating, but different designs and colors are being used together. UUalking shorts, once known as Bermuda shorts also returned to the fashion scene after having been absent for a couple of decades. FIs the skirts became shorter and the shorts became longer, students began to question the fact that shorts were not allowed in school and mini-skirts were. In response to the idea, there were several people who had similar opinions. Senior Belinda Vernon said, fls short as some of the mini-skirts ore, I think that boys and girls should be able to wear shorts. I don't think they should have such harsh restrictions for dress code. Kids should be able to wear what they want to according to their own taste. Junior Rory Meyer had a similar opinion. He said I feel miniskirts ore a part of women's fashion thats around to stay. There's nothing that's going to change it and I think they're okay. I also feel that in all fairness, shorts should be allowed in school because there is no air conditioning. Did maturity have anything to do with the idea of wearing shorts? UJhen students reached the high school level they felt they were mature and wanted to be treated in that respect. Senior John McClarnen said. I feel that people should be able to wear shorts in school. Too much of an emphasis is placed on what people wear. While some clothing is not appropriate, I feel shorts should be allowed, fit the High school level people should be mature enough to handle what others wear. High school was supposed to be a place which prepared students for continuing on to college and the real world”. Most students felt that being treated as adults included being able to choose what they wore. Senior Mitzi Deckinger soid, We make a lot of our own choices anyway, so why not our own choices about clothing? Students should be able to wear what they want because once they get to college they will have to choose. So why not start now?” fls to what to expect in the future, one might see the revival of bell-bottoms, hip-huggers, halter tops, platform shoes, hot pants, and much more. Fashions, like history have proven to repeat themselves. People Mini Mag 101 And Now For Advertisements Dialing system creates, solves problems L orste’s Hallmark .. .J B Ar-I cade ...

Instead of dialing 5, then the number the caller was trying to reach, callers had to dial the entire seven digit number. If the number wasn’t dialed in 11 seconds from the time the phone was picked up, a caller had to start over again. It took a while for everyone to get used to having to dial the 245. Junior Tammy Umland explained what she thought of the new system. She said, “Personally, I don’t like it myself, because it had some disadvantages for the town people, but it does have some advantages for the country people, so it doesn’t really bother me that much.” Another business that affected students was J B Arcade. Teenagers would go the arcade after school, during lunch, and on weekends to have something to do besides cruise Harlan. Junior Steve Deckinger commented on why he went to the arcade. He said, “I go there because there is nothing else to do, and so I can stay out of trouble.” Ads was a hard list to make, but we realized that there were differences, not only for students, but also for everyone in the community.

Advertisements 109 lllu LLl-WL-Lit-lilt Kirkman's Cove recreation area opens Students, teachers, and their families had a new place to go to satisfy their need for something to do during leisure hours. It provided a variety of outdoor activities, os well os comping and booting facilities. Richardson County gained o new recreation area when Kirkman's Cove was opened. The man-made dam and reservoir was located three miles northwest of Humboldt. The area was opened just in time for outdoor summer activities. Dedication ceremonies were held on May 22. Congressman Doug Bereuter, who gave the keynote address, said, Kirkman's Cove is evidence of a true working partnership between the federal, state, and local governments, and most important, the citizens of this area. Along with Congressman Bereuter, other local, county, and state officials were present for the ceremonies, former Congressman and Governor Charles Thone also gave on address, along with Nebraska Natural Resources Commission officials. The recreation area was open year around and provided RV camping and tent camping areas. There was also o boat dock, swimming area, and picnic tables. The park area encompassed 511 acres. The lake was a 160-acre body of water. One of the unique aspects of the reservoir was that it drained 5,000 acres of farmland. This meant that it provided flood control as well as recreation. Students had a hand in helping create the facilities os the shop and carpentry classes designed and built the restrooms. Delivering the keynote oddress for the dedicotion of Kirkman's Cove is Congressman Doug Bereuter. 110 Advertisements Mini Mag News stories provide interest Whether it was good or bod, news stories mode headlines. Students were affected by these happenings both directly and indirectly. On the local side, a fund drive was started for a proposed Community Fitness Center with a goal of $750,000. City leaders felt that the center would not only provide residents with recreational facilities, but would also be a drawing card for future businesses. Campaign Chairman Vern Sorer said, Our proposed Community Fitness Center will be a wonderful facility with which to begin our county-wide community development program. New jobs were also created in the community with the expansion of both Woodings-Verona and Rolfes. Both companies used Community Development Block Grants for their projects. Other jobs became available as new businesses, including Lo Rio's and Hardee's, opened in town. Rlso with community improvement in mind, a city clean up project was organized by Mary Tauchen-Whitehouse on the weekend of April 8 and 9. Although the weather didn't cooperate, residents around town grouped together to clean up their neighborhoods. On the state scene, one of the biggest developments was the speed limit change. State officials raised the speed limit on Interstate 80 to 65 mph. In the Senate race during May's primary, Republican Dave Karnes defeated Hal Daub in a hotly contested campaign. In November, incumbent Karnes will face former Governor Bob Kerrey. Another hotly debated issue, the raise in state senator's pay, was on the ballot. Although Richardson Countyans voted against the measure 37% to 63%, it passed on the state level by 56% to 44%. The vote increased the senators pay from $4,800 o year to $12,000 a year. Voters eyes also shifted to the national elections in this presidential election year. Both the Republican and Democratic Parties started out with a long slate of candidates, but by the time the Nebraska primary rolled around, the numbers had decreased. Republican George Bush, who was virtually unopposed by this time, won the state vote easily. On the Democratic ticket, front runner Michael Dukakis beat Jesse Jackson. Bush had already clenched his party's nomination, while Dukakis was closing in on the number of delegates needed in his party. One of the biggest national stories of the year was the stock market crash on October 19. Investors watched with dismay as the market plummetted 508 points on Black Monday. The crash affected markets all over the world. International news continued to contain information on the crisis in the Persian Gulf. On April 18 the U.S. Navy destroyed two off-shore Iranian oil platforms, sank an Iranian patrol boat, and bombed an Iranian navy frigate. This was in retaliation for an attack on oil facilities off the shore of Sharjah. The Iranians also fired on two U.S. vessels in the area. In another story, a Kuwaiti Airways Boeing 747 was hijacked on April 5. The hijackers demanded the release of 17 pro-Iranian terrorists imprisoned in Kuwait before they would release the hostages, some of whom were members of the Kuwaiti royal family. After 16 days and the killing of two hostages, the hijackers released the rest of the hostages. Other news in April was the accord reached by the U.S. and Soviet Union to end the Afghanistan occupation. Red Army troops started pulling out on May 15 to end Moscow’s intervention. In other news concerning the Soviet Union. President Reagan went to Moscow to ottend a Summit meeting with Soviet leader Gorbachev. They discussed a treaty on reducing nuclear arms stockpiles. After returning to the U.S. on June 3, President Reagan said, Our pledge is to work the continued building of better understanding between the two countries. The Richardson Foundation plans to build this Community Fitness Center if the fund drive is successful.

So we thought of ideas that were unique. We decided if it was going to be a different yearbook, we would start with the cover. For years it had been orange and black because that was the name of the book. To fit with the theme, we added more color to the cover. Instead of the two colors, we had six. Then came the problem of deciding which colors to use. We didn’t want it to look like a rainbow, but we didn’t want it neon either. We also had trouble thinking of the color of writing we wanted on the cover, so we decided to see what the different choices would look like. Yearbook adviser Judi Carter copied off the cover sketch and began to fill in the color choices for us to see. We voted and the majority wanted the one that is the cover of our yearbook. More differences occurred during the year. Girls’ basketball finished with a 10 and 10 record. Varsity player, junior Ann Huppert, commented on their improvement and what helped the team. She said, “The one thing that I think improved our record was the way the whole team worked together and got along pretty good. This year the whole team worked together, not just as individuals but as a real basketball team.” The boys’ team also improved their record. Last year they won four games; this year they won seven. Bob Meyer, varsity player, gave his feelings on the team’s improvement. He said, “It was a good feeling to win more, it was also very exciting.” Coach Larry Munn was also chosen as Nebraska Wrestling Coach of the Year. Another big difference was that band and chorus received superiors from all three of their judges at District Music Contest. This was only the second time this happened to Mrs. Appleoff in her teaching career. As the year came to an end, the list of differences continued to grow. It began the same as any other year, but differences began to show up after the students and teachers began to settle in to the swing of things. Girls’ Show Choir Soprano 2's June St nisi I. Brenda Lampe. Holly Mcrz. and Martha Schawang practice their singing arrangements. Struggling to pin his opponent during the home double dual against Atchison and Hiawatha is Josh Caverzagie. 118 Closing Closing 119 Senior Loyal Parsons contributes a helping hand to the German II holiday cookie baking project. During the girls' basketball game against Mound City, varsity player Tiffany Gatz chases a runaway ball. Falls City High band members march in the Parade of Champions to honor our winners at State Wrestling. List grows as year lets differences show through My Senior year will be great because it will be different and will mark the end of the thirteen years of school that I have gone through. It will also be a sad time because I will be leaving my friends. ” Rory Meyer Seniors looked at the end of the year with mixed emotions. Some were happy, while others were sad to see the end of their high school career. Seniors weren’t the only ones; juniors began to look forward to being “boss” or the oldest. Junior Rory Meyer said, “It will be great because it will be different and it marks the end of thirteen years of school that I have gone through. It will also be sad because I will be leaving my friends.” Another difference was that the chemistry and physics classes attended Demonstration Day at Peru State. John Mason-brink explained why he took his classes. He said, “Several of the demonstrations were of things we couldn’t do here. I thought it would be good to attend this day.” The list of unique occurences grew as the year came to a close. It was definitely a year for something different. — By Barb Joy Resting their feet during the sociology field trip to Lincoln are Michele Fritz. Shelly Goll. and Tami Schawang. Paul Weinert. American history and sociology teacher, takes a book cover off one of his books as he cleans out his room. Mr. Wienert decided to retire after 25 years of teaching at FCHS.
