Lincoln High School - Links Yearbook (Lincoln, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1979 volume:

Xlkm U a time Throughout Lincoln High's 108 year history there have been a number of significant changes. These changes have been of large and nature, ranging from changing buildings in 1513 to relocating the media center in 1077 But there are some things about high school that are permanent Things which have a special place in time. In the fall we return to school after a long summer vacation. This is a time for reacquainting ourselves with the routine of school. It is a time for meeting new friends and a time for reuniting with our old friends. As the sport's season begins, «t is a time of renewed enthusiasm. A time of high expectations for the coming year. With spirits high, it is a time for pep rallies, a time for cheering—a time to give what we can for our school, whether through participation or being a spectator As the year progresses and the excitement of the first weeks of school die down, there is still a time for ac- tivities and clubs of many types A time to get involved in the way that best suits the individual. Participation in such activities as having a part in the all-school play, selling programs at the games or joining the debate team are examples of student involvement. One can also get involved by helping to decorate their hall during spirit week, planning an upcoming dance, or buying a carna- tion to support a dedicated club When we look back to our high school years we will remember the little things that had a special place in time. There is a time-2 25� «-w . � C y 0 C A T J c vu 4 'r i s rt n c’ y Ci-t r- ty v ✓ ?xv . t L7 There is a time-3 There is a time-4 There is a time-5 All things change; nothing perishes There is a time-6 Even though the Oval is gone, its memories live on at Lincoln High School. Since 1923. the Oval has served as a home for Lincoln High athletes Inside its walls, memories of many sport- ing events were built In the summer of 1978 those walls were torn down in preparation for a new field, including an eight-lane track. This was just one aspect of the construction work around Lincoln High during the year Work also was begun on the J Street Mall in front of the school There is a time for change—a time to tear down and a time to build up A time when new traditions are started and old ones are cherished. There is a time-8 There is a time-9 There is a time 10 There is a time when tho school gets together aside from the routine school day. This is an important time whether it is through ac- tivities such as Joy Night, homecoming, a Darty. or the last big game o' the season. It is a time for laughter, a time for dancing, a time for sharing experiences and feelings—and most important of all, a time to be together There is a time-11 There is a time-12 There is a time-13 There is a time-14 remember days, remember moments —Cesare Pavese We do not we As spring approaches so does the anticipation of the end of the school year. It is a time when the sophomores begin to feel that they have made it through their first year of high school. A time when juniors become aware that they are going to become influential seniors; a happening they anxiously look forward to. A time when seniors must begin to face what is ahead—a time to decide which way they will turn after graduation. It is a time of excitement and anticipation. A time when all students wonder how the year went by so fast.

This year a new group at LHS, the Horticulture Club, was started. The group con- sisted of about 20 members and met twice a month in room B-6 The sponsors of the club were Mr. Donald Fox and Mr. Randy Connot. The group was not just based around an interest in plants. Members of the Horticulture Club also learned about agriculture, farming, and meat processing. They learned leadership skills and gained experience by speaking in front of a group of people. When the group first started, members were a little unsure of them- selves As the group became more organized members soon gained much more confidence. To earn money the group sold carnations during sport events. Group leadership positions were held by Leslye Stuertz, Dawn Elliott, Julie Keller, Mark Neemann and Jenny Turek. The group was organized and operated by the students. The sponsors were there to advise them.

These group leaders had various duties throughout the school year. As president, Dave Heckman supervised the overall group operation. He organized the group meetings and was in charge of selecting a band for prom. Bruce Crowther, vice presi- dent, was responsible for locating a place for prom. Secretary, Ruth Boham, organized a decorating com- mittee As treasurer, Joni Longan organized fund raising projects for the group's income. The officers were elected by group voting in early October. Dave Heckman said he enjoyed being president of the group but added, It took up a lot of my time and left me with less time for my other activities.” Dave also commented, I think the officers could have worked more as a team, and not so much on an individual basis.” It should be added that the officers were elected to supervise and organize the group's activities. However, it was the effort and contribution of all the members of the group that made the operation work.

Young people, as well as adults, in the world today often face many difficult situations. Venture is a drama group that deals with real life situations which are com- mon to almost everyone sometime in their life. Venture members present these situations in skits and dis- cussions involving the audience. They encourage ex- ploration of feelings about these situations. Venture was started in 1976 at Lincoln High. The group was trained by Johnny Gutierrez of Austin, Texas, Emotions who also trained similar groups in Texas. The group performed at all of the high schools and at parent and community groups. The skits revolved around three basic problems: family relationships, prejudices and sex-role stereotypes. There were nine members in Venture from Lincoln High. This was more members than any of the four high schools involved in Venture Being a member of Venture requires time, dedication, and a sense of caring about the world Mindy McNeese, a venture member, said she became involved in Venture because people were not listening to each other. She commented, I knew there was something to break the barriers. Mindy added that the kids in the group seemed to really care. The group met every Tuesday night in the LHS media center and was sponsored by Liz Platt. Miss Platt said that the group had a problem with time. All of our people were busy, she said, but they all made an effort to attend and get involved. Venture members feel that by listening to one anoth- er, keeping a sense of humor, being honest and seeking positive relationships, can make human relationships fulfilling and joyous.

Six seniors, eight juniors, six sophomores and two foreign exchange students composed the Council. The Council was divided into three main committees. The school committee was responsible for things such as dances, spring freak week, and film festivals. The community committee was responsible for collecting food for Thanksgiving baskets, and special parties for kids at Park, and Elliot schools. A new feature at LHS this year, thanks to Student Council, was the interesting speaker series on current issues They included the Bottle Bill, The Lid Bill, and District City Council elections.

Student Council planned the event, but many other groups were involved in making it a success Primary elections were held three weeks prior to the dance. All members of the senior class were eligible to vote. Ten boys and 10 girls were nominated Then a week later another election was held, and the top four boys and girls were picked for court. The Homecoming festivities started off the afternoon of the 27th with a car decorating contest, a short pep rally, (both held in the LHS parking lot), and a police escorted car caravan to the game. LHS met East High with a disappointing 29 to 7 loss, but spirit was still soaring at halftime. The band marched out onto the field and performed five entertaining songs, and then the Pomalinks ran onto the field in football jerseys and did a peppy football oriented routine. Following the Pomalinks, the Home- coming attendants came onto the field in pairs, walked under an arch of flags held by the flag corp, and formed a line, anxiously awaiting the crowning Last year's King and Queen had the honors, and Stacia Porter and Randy Burianek were crowned King and Queen. Following the game was the dance, which was held in the LHS boys gym. Timberwolf was the band. The gym decorations were done by Student Council.

Crazy Spirit Weeks Honor All Sports The fall season Spirit Week was held October 24-28, the week of Homecoming All fall sports were recog- nized with such activities as 'Tie the Spartans, involv- ing neckties, and a hall decorating contest. The winter season was escorted in with a 50's Day, which drew much involvement. A Spirit Week also featured a Hat Day, Red and Black Day, and an Inside-Out Day. Spirit Week was planned and sponsored by Pep Club as a means to raise school spirit. These seniors can still rock 'n' roll in '79 as well as they did in the 50s. On Hats Off Day anyone with spirit put on the old chapeau Team members treat fall sports' coaches to some ice cream at and danced the night away. the spirit week pep rally.

Gina Dolan Larger Drillteam Makes Showy Attraction Hard working, innovative, and talented are just a few of the words that would describe the members of the Pomalinks Eighteen girls, 11 seniors, and seven juniors made up the team Mrs Cheryl Gadekan sponsored the girls Tryouts were held last spring, and throughout the summer, morning practices were held Two clinics were attended, one at Nebraska Wesleyan, and the other at Ames. Iowa Here the girls learned routines and marching skills. The clinics proved to be very rewarding as the girls brought home three merit trophies, a spirit stick, and numerous ribbons for both group and in- dividual achievements. The Pomalinks started off their year by marching at the State Fair They made up a main part of the half time shows at football and basketball games, and also per- formed at pep rallies First semester captains were Jill Thomas and Julie Fugh These versatile performers show they know what football is all about Pomalinks (?) show their stuff Activities-91 Cheerleaders, Yell Kings Promote Spirit Eleven seniors composed the varsity cheerleading squad. The girls' job of promoting school spirit was aided by new cheers learned at a summer clinic in Ames, Iowa, where they earned superior ribbons and a Spirit Stick In addition to cheering at school sports, they attended the Shrine Bowl football game, thus gaining needed experience. Yell Kings were also reinstated at LHS. and proved to be a valuable addition to the squad These new members provided the strength needed in performing various complicated mounts and throws. This added a new dimension to cheering, and was appreciated by both the fans and the student body. The cheerleaders felt the school was really behind the athletic teams, and commented that spirit is definitely on the uprise at Lincoln High. These cheerleaders are rowdy, rough, and tough, so watch out! Activities-92 jr1 M • 1 Pam Shaw The cheerleaders are definitely a high stepping squad! lulie Scott Activities-93 Peppers Increase Involvement And Spirit The Pep Club was composed of an extremely spirited group of girls. They provided support at athletic events throughout the year. It was said at many football games that LHS had one of the most spirited Pep Clubs in the city. Besides attending various sporting events, the club sponsored a dance, migrations to out of town games, and Spirit Week. It was evident that all the members were working hard to promote and support spirit at Lincoln High. Pep Club was especially important to new sopho- mores as it provided a fun way to become involved in their school. Peppers form an L during Parents' Night. Pep Club, left to right.

Activities-98 A group of seniors aimed towards organization as the Senior Steering Committee planned their year. Their major goal was to work on money-raising proj- ects to provide money to pay for the class gift. Sugges- tions for the gift were readily accepted, with the under- standing that it should adequately represent the class. The final decision was made by the committee and their sponsors. Dr. Jean Kleitschand student counselor Alma Howdeshell. As the year progressed, this committee also found itself willingly taking on the task of presenting Joy Night, a Lincoln High tradition. All the members agreed that even though a great amount of work was involved, the endeavor was well worth the effort. Junior And Sophomore Steering Active Planning prom and helping out during commence- ment and honors convocations were the main functions of the Junior Steering Committee. The Juniors started right away to finance and set up the junior-senior prom. Some of their money-raising projects were a 50's dance and selling concessions at sporting events The spon- sors were Mr. Jerry Neff, Mr Dick Patterson, and Ms. Mary Beth Lehmanowsky Bakewell The junior officers were: President. David Heckman; Vice President, Bruce Crowther; Secretary. Ruth Boham; and Treasurer Joni Longan. Sophomore Steering Committee was busy this year earning money for their junior steering treasury. They sold Christmas candy and sold concessions at football games. They also did a service project through National Geographic. Their project was reading for the blind. This year's officers were: President, Kate Kopischke; Vice President, Nancy Gableman; Secretary, Susan Peter- son; and Treasurer, Leah Shaw. Sponsor for the group was Mrs. Louise Baugher.

The play was written by Ayn Rand and directed by drama coach Joan Lazurus. Audience involvement was apparent from the open- ing act when jurors were called from among the spec- tators. One witness was Lincoln Mayor Helen Boosalis. Their job was to listen to the testimony of various witnesses, also seated in the audience, and decide if Karen Andre was guilty of the murder of her employer and lover, Bjorn Faulkner. As the trial unfolded, a fake suicide scheme was revealed, making the case not quite as open and shut as it seemed Nonetheless, the jury did have to make a decision, and the audience waited tensely for their choice: guilty or not guilty. When Mayor Boosalis spoke the words, Not guilty, cheers and applause erupted from the crowd, displaying how realistic the presenta- tion was. But was Karen Andre really innocent, or mere- ly a clever planner? No one will ever know. The performers enjoyed the play as much as the audience Marcia Richards, who portrayed the L A. Times reporter, said, It's a lot of work and a lot of hassle, but when you're up there performing it's all worth while. Karen Andre begs Larry Regan to tell her that her lover is not dead.

Mum- mers was a dramatical club, and they met every week All students were welcome to join. Miss Joan Lazarus was the sponsor for this group Speakers were often invited to the Mummers' meetings to give the members better insight on theatrical happenings in their com- munity. The Mummers were very active. They formed a mime troupe, did an assembly which included scenes from different plays, formed the project Outreach, which in- volved telling Christmas stories to grade school children, and did the Mummers Play at the end of the year.

In order to join, it was not required to be a member of Mummers, the LHS drama club, yet an interest in mime was necessary, as was the ability to express emotion without dialogue. The troupe was very active during the year. They performed at the University of Nebraska during the Walpurgisnacht festival. They also participated in Joy Night, and were involved in a fund raiser at the Lincoln Children's Zoo. This drama form intrigued all viewers. A successful mime often requires a group effort Leslie Forbes demonstrates that facial expression is important in getting the message across. Activities-103 Joy Night Returns With Boob Tube II The 53rd annual LHS Joy Night, held January 25 and 27, was one involved in controversy. In November, it had been decided that due to a lack of interest there would be no Joy Night. However, the Senior Steering Committee, with help from Student Council, took it upon themselves to present the annual show, which after much hard work was a great success. It was also decided that future Senior Steering groups would organize the event. Students felt the format should be kept as a general talent show. The theme of Joy Night was The Boob Tube Review II. Acts consisted of parodies of television game shows, commercials, and many talented singing and instru- mental groups. The faculty skit. The Mouseketeer Talent Scout, was a favorite of the students. Masters of Ceremonies for the show were brothers Jim and Steve Pieper. Dr Jean Kleitsch, sponsor of the Senior Steering Committee, stressed that the purpose of putting on Joy Night was to have fun. Members admitted that some- times it was more work than they bargained for, but they were glad to keep Joy Night an LHS tradition.

Prep band gave the students a chance to improve their musicianship. It was more of a learning group. Each student had two private lessons a week with Mr. John Ulrich, director of both groups. Prep Jazz served many purposes for the students who were not members. It gave students the chance to play secondary instru- ments, and it gave students a jazz experience without the high pressures of being in varsity jazz. Prep Jazz also served as a performance group outside of the school. Cooperation is a major part in producing a unified sound.

Brad Jameson Talented Individuals Form Solid Group Individual talent was the key phrase for the LHS Jazz Ensemble. This talent was combined to form a group of young musicians who practiced long hours to produce a highly professional sound. Their music was greatly ap- preciated by the student body and the Lincoln communi- ty, who heard them play at various city functions. Mr John Ulrich, the director of the group, stated that whenever he was requested to provide a musical group to represent Lincoln High, the Jazz Ensemble was his first choice.

Organizations Serve Useful Purposes The Usherettes were a group of girls that volunteered their time to usher at events in the LHS auditorium. The girls wore sweater vests, and white blouses with slacks. They received two service points for ushering three times. The Co-Ed Counselors were another group of girls who volunteered their time. They helped new incoming students become familiarized with the school. The girls met after school on their own time. Mrs. Lorraine Sutton sponsored the group.

In elections during the previous week, eleven juniors were chosen by the junior class for Lancaster County officers, and three were appointed to their positions. These newly elected officials reported to their offices at the Lancaster City-County Court House to receive their assignments. They then proceeded to District Court No. 1, where three real cases were heard Each case was explained by Judge Herbert Ronin, who also intro- duced the bailiff, chief probation officer, and the court reporter. A tour of the court house followed. At lunch, the representatives from all the city high schools heard the new Supreme Court Justice Norman Krivosha speak on student participation in government. The students then reported back to their offices, and witnessed further trials in County Court. Sponsor Wil- helmina Johnson remarked that Judge Ronin compli- mented the Lincoln High officers on their excellent courtroom conduct. Senior Skip Madsen can't believe how votes are piling up on election day Activities-113 Cultural Awareness Important at LHS Black History Month, lasting from mid February through early March, was a group effort of many par- ticipants, headed by faculty member George Sedlacek. The committee, consisting of students and teachers, stated that the purpose of Black History Month was to “bring cultural awareness to LHS students. Besides the black culture, other ethnic groups were also spotlighted through varied exhibits. Daily sound an- nouncements gave brief histories of famous blacks. A final event was the assembly presented to the stu- dent body. The assembly, explaining the meaning of heritage, was written by LHS student Liz Burden, and was made up of skits about various events in black history. The assembly, as well as the complete month, was recognized as being important to a school with as many varied ethnic backgrounds as Lincoln High. It was important to pay close attention to the director's comments. Different characters each had individual poses.

The group aimed for experience in performing together in a swing style, which is different in many ways from choirs or glee groups. Student teacher Miss Peck aided the swing choir in planning their choreography, but each student had different ideas for dance steps It was agreed that member input was an important factor, as this provided a variety of different routines. Mr. Joe Skutchan directed the group, and sophomore Gayle Adams remarked, Skutchan knows how to teach a group successfully. ' Projecting emotion is an important part of performing. This group believes in a big finish. Sophomore Swing Choir. Row 1: Richard Luna.

Activities-121 Anything Goes” An Adventurous Cruise Activities-122 The Angels and crew show a lot of action in the opening number Moonface watches as the two Chinese confer. The captain fraternizes with some attractive passengers. The musical presented by the LHS music department was Anything Goes, by Cole Porter. Three perform- ances. March 22-24, were given because it was felt that the show would draw large crowds. Set on an ocean cruise from New York to London in the 1930's, the plot involved Billy Crocker, an American playboy, who sought to win the love of his dream girl, Hope Harcourt. Hope, however, was engaged to Sir Evelyn Oakleigh, who was in turn susceptible to the harms of Reno Sweeny and her Angels. To complicate matters. Rev. Dr. Moon, alias Moonface, becomes in- volved when he gives Billy his extra ticket. Billy does not realize that now his name is linked with that of Public Enemy No. 13. The result is pure mayhem and a lot of fun. The musical was directed by Joseph Skutchan, with set design by Rodger Baldwin. Hope. Mrs Harcourt. and Sir Evelyn arrive on board. The Angels make their presence known. Reno Sweeny gives Billy Crocker some advice Reno Sweeny and Sir Evelyn are caught in a compromising position. Billy professes his love for Hope.

Advocate Takes On New Look, Topics The Advocate, the LHS school paper, underwent a format change in November After four and a half years of magazine style, a move was made to use newsprint and a more graphic approach. This meant more lines to grab the reader's attention. The main goal of the Advocate was to present school news to the student body However, outside news that affected the school also was covered Examples of this were extensive articles on the Lid Bill and Bottle Bill. Much information on these November election issues were given in order to better inform students. Advisor Lee Johnson felt that it should be remem- bered that the main purpose of any high school journal- ism class is to improve the students' journalistic abilities He remarked.

In the season opener, the Links took a close loss. Run- ning back Doug Moore scored the only LHS touchdown. This score was not enough to win as eventual state champion Grand Island defeated the Links 14-6. The following week, the Links traveled to Beatrice to face the Orangemen. The Links evened their record at 1-1, with a 27-0 convincing win. Moore scored twice for the team, with two runs of four-yards. The other Link running back, Nkere Udofia, took off on a 45-yard run. Junior halfback Anietie Udofia crossed the goal line for the last score on a 14-yard run to finish the Orangemen 27-0. The next contest was at Seacrest against two-time defending state champion, Lincoln Southeast. The Knights were too much for the Links and the game ended up in a disastrous 29-0 defeat. The Links then had to battle the Northeast Rockets at Seacrest field. The game was a defensive struggle with only one score but the Rockets came up with it and won 7-0. Next on the schedule for the Links was a 30-12 win over then undefeated Scottsbluff. The first score came when Scott Fiedler ran 57 years in the first quarter. Jeff Barron, the field goal kicker, booted a 29-yard field goal for the second score. Also in the first half. Nkere Udofia plunged in from the one-yard line, and the final score of the first half came when Al Henning intercepted a pass and ran it 34-yards back for a touchdown. The only score of the second half came on a three-yard run by Doug Moore. Rus Hitz, Number 51. breaks through the spirit ring before a game as Randy Burianek, Number 64, follows The Links then traveled to Fremont and shut out the Tigers 18-0 The first score came on a six-yard run by Moore. Toward the end of the third quarter, Nkere Udofia ran three-yards for a touchdown. The final score came on a 20-yard sprint by quarterback Scott Fiedler . The win left the Links with a 3-3 record and an eighth-place position in the state ratings The next week Columbus came to town but the Links stopped them with a 21 -7 win. The first score wasfrom a 58-yard run by Dave Hamersky. The Links failed to score again until the third quarter when Nkere Udofia rambled for 42-yards. The final touchdown was a 10-yard toss from Fiedler to Barron. The next game, the Links had to hit the road and handed North Platte their seventh loss. The Links took a commanding lead early in the game on a 44-yard run by Nkere Udofia and Greg Stutheit intercepted a pitch for a 27-yard touchdown. The next score came in third quarter when Dave Hamersky ran five-yards for a score and this put the Links ahead 21-7. In the final seconds Nkere Udofia ran from 15-yards out for his second score of the game and the final score was 29-15. With one more game to play, the Links had a shot at the state playoffs but they would have to get by East High on Homecoming night. In the final game, the Links couldn't defeat the explosive passing attack of the Spar- tans and took a disappointing 29-7 loss. The Links fin- ished the season with a 5-4 record. The Links had a well balanced team. The offense improved greatly toward the end of the season, while the defense played consistent ball the entire year. Coach Frost pointed out there were many good players on the team but the most consistent were Hamersky and Moore. Some others were Scott Hartley, Steve Smith, Scott Fiedler. Tim Garrison, Mark Steer, Rod Taft, and sophomore Jim Baker Coach Frost and staff were mystified by the Links' play in the Southeast and East games. In the other games.

Team Effort Leads Reserves To Success The reserve football teams' season did not progress as coaches Bill Zuspan and Tom Christie had hoped; but despite their season, the team put forth a good effort. The reserve gridders started off on a successful note. In the opening game, at Westside, the reserves came away with a 8-0 victory. The teams' next contest was in Beatrice. The Links won a 27-0 victory. The next part of the schedule was up against city rivals The Links traveled to Southeast. The gridders played a tough game but ended up behind. 15-19 The first time the Links played at home was against the Northeast Rockets. The Rockets came ready to play and blasted the Links, 22-0. The reserves, though, would not come away empty- handed against a Lincoln school. The Links handed the East High Spartans a big defeat winning, 23-0. In the last three games of the season the Links failed to score any points. Fremont came to LHS and gave the Links their worst defeat of the season, 26-0. The team then had to battle against Southeast again; this time LHS lost 10-14 The final game of the season was against Grand Island The game was well played but the Links ended up behind 0-2, to conclude the season with a 3-5 record The Links had several outstanding competitors on the team. Craig Mulligan played well on offense and de- fense throughout the year.

Coaching high school football wasn't what I expected it would be.” said Coach Gillespie, who is not new to coaching In 1977, he was a graduate assistant for the Husker's football team Gillespie became a member of the NU staff after a sparkling four-year career as a Cornhusker running back Last spring Gillespie joined the LHS staff, serving as head girls' track coach. There was a big difference between high school and college coaching,” he said In high school, the kids need to be taught and in college, the players needed to be corrected, but I really enjoyed working with the kids ” The sophomore's season was slow in getting started. In the first game, the team traveled to Millard and took a 36 2 loss The Links' inter-city rival Lincoln Southeast stacked on another loss to the LHS record in the second game of the season, 18-6 Lincoln Northeast was next to defeat the sophomores, as the team lost. 26-0 The season was looking bleak for the young gridders. But the sophomores bounced back with a tough 14 12 win over the East High Spartans According to Gillespie, the East and Westside vic- tories gave the sophomores the confidence needed tc record their second straight victory of the season, a 6-C win over Omaha Westside. The team's outstanding efforts were in the East and Westside games.” the former Husker star said. The effort against East was super as the team had to come from behind ” The sophomore's two-game winning streak was halted the following week in Omaha as the Links lost a 0-6 contest to Omaha Bryan. Beatrice was scheduled to be the sophomore's last opponent of the season, but the Orangemen were forced to forfeit the game which resulted intheteam'sfinal 2-4 season record There were many outstanding players on the team Coach Gillespie pointed out Randy Perez, a defensive end, and monster back Rick White as the top com- petitors. If the kids get the right attitude they could be suc- cessful,” Coach Gillespie said. But they must take ad- vantage of their sophomore experience ” The competition in the East game was tough The sophomore gridders fight for a few extra yards The Links came out on top 14-12 Athletics-142 Spikers Start Off On Top, Finish 10-8 The 1978 Lincoln High volleyball team blasted off to a banner start with a 7-0 record and a number one ranking in the Lincoln Journal and Star prep ratings. Consisting of seven seniors and three underclass- men, the Links started the season with a win over a highly respected Grand Island team, the eventual state runnerup. This started a seven game spree of victories over Beatrice, Omaha Westside, Papillion, Northeast, Columbus and Hastings, resulting in a four week stay at the number one spot in the state But defeat finally came at the hands of an always strong East High team. The Links won one of the three games, but East's strong offense managed to pull the match out. The Cornhusker Classic was scheduled next and the spikers were victorious in their first game, only to lose to York in the second game and be eliminated. This loss began a four game losing streak to Fremont, cross-town rival Southeast, and North Platte in the first game of the Trans-Nebraska Tournament. They finished fifth in the tournament. The Links then went on to fine second place finishes in the Lincoln Public Schools Tournament and in the District Tournament. Both times LHS lost to East High in the finals. The team was led all year by co-captains Liz Mannix and Kelli Weixleman, along with senior returning starters Jill Rump, Purk Purkalitis, and Tina Schoonover. Purk and Kelli took care of a large percentage of the setting chores while Liz, Jill and Tina handled the spik- ing. Juniors Kim Wilson and Anne Draper also did a fine job for Lincoln High this year, along with the lone sophomore on the team, Lori Trejo. Coach Joyce Johnson cited defense and not winning districts as the biggest disappointments for this year's team. She also stated that the bright spot of the season was Winning!” Going 7-0 at the beginning of the season and being rated number one for four weeks was definiteley a pleasant surprise, Coach Johnson said. She stated that it provided positive expectancy for the future and also brought about enthusiasm from within the team. It allowed them to have fun as a group while working towards their team goals,” she said. Losing seven of the ten-member squad to graduation holds little promise for next year's team, but Coach Johnson feels that juniors Kim Wilson, Anne Draper, Carla Fruen, who swung from reserves to varsity, and sophomore Lori Trejo, should be able to hold their own against some pretty tough competition next year.

The team consisted of nine juniors and three sophomores. The season began with a loss to a strong Grand Island team. The squad then rebounded with a resounding victory over Beatrice, 15-4, 15-10. The Links then lost four in a row to Omaha Westside, Papillion, Northeast, and Columbus before coming back to beat city rival East High in one of the toughest matches all year. Another highlight of the season was a victory over city com- petitor, Southeast. The team was led all year by juniors Carla Fruen, who also saw varsity action. Silvia Paeglitis.

Outstanding Individual Efforts Help Links Barry Keller, a specialist on the side horse, helps make the Links a threat to every other school Although the boys gymnastics team had a disap- pointing dual meet record of 1 -6, the scores didn't reflect the many outstanding individual efforts. The vaulting team of Bruce Crowther. Gayle Adams, Bryan Horacek. Jeff Horacek and Marty Meister was the best in the state, compiling a team score in the vault higher than the eventual winners of the state meet, Omaha South. Sophomore Gayle Adams performed well on the vault all year long finishing second at the Art Harris In- vitational along with a ninth-place finish at State. Senior all-arounder Bryan Horacek, one of the most consistent gymnasts the past three years, finished second at Trans Nebraska, tied for third at districts and finished tenth at State. One of the greatest disappointments of the season was a back injury to senior Marty Meister, an outstand- ing ring specialist for the Links. Despite this injury. Meister went on to finish fourth at districts and was an asset to the team all year long Other outstanding efforts included Dave Miller who finished sixth at districts He had a superb routine at state, scoring 8.2 to eventually finish thirteenth. Jeff Horacek also finished sixth in districts on floor exercise and was cited by first year coach Gary Jeurink as having an extraordinary ability to learn difficult tricks. A lack of team depth was the main reason for the Links' unimpressive record, but with the return of five sophomores and five juniors. Coach Jeurink is looking forward to having a strong, competitve team next year Athletics-146 David Cech. one of the team's many sophomores, strains to achieve perfection on the still rings John Krebsbach, cited as being one of the most consistent performers for the Links, shows his winning form during a dual meet These Links watch intently while they await their turn to compete Besides performing well on the parallel bars, Gayle Adams also finished ninth at State Landing a perfect dismount off the high bar. Bryan Horacek was one of the state s top competitors. Athletics-147 Girl Swimmers Battle Depth Problem The girl s swim team suffered another disappointing year, finishing the season with a 0-9 dual meet record. According to Coach Gene Cotter, the competition around the state was tough, including the inner-city teams Southeast and East which had performers swim- ming for swim clubs all year long. None of the LHS Tankers swam for a swim club and Coach Cotter was happy as long as their times improved. Even though the dual meet record was a disappoint- ment, there were many outstanding individual efforts, including the diving of Stacey Porter. Stacey went un- defeated this year in dual competition compiling a 9-0 record and finished first in the Trans Nebraska meet. At State. Porter was ahead for most of the competition until her last dive; she ended up with a second place medal. Coach Cotter also cited Claire Shannon as one of the most consistent performers in the 100 yard breaststroke along with Liz Darnell swimming the 100 yard back- stroke and Carol Kohout in the 50 yard freestyle. Coach Cotter had a young team this year and felt that if the same people went out again next year, he could have a respectable team. The swim team is also looking forward to several newcomers to add depth to next year's team. Swimming the breast stroke for the Links this year, Jo Lynn Densberger glides through the water, making it look easy.

Athletics-149 Young Harrier Team Looks To Future This year's cross country team was one of the youngest teams ever seen by twenty-fifth year coach Harold Scott. The team consisted of thirteen under- classmen and just three seniors. This inexperience and lack of leadership proved to be the downfall for the Links as they went winless in the dual and triangular meet category. For the fourth straight year, the Links finished last in the Lincoln Public Schools championship at Pioneer Park. Nine members of the sixteen man squad had no prior cross country experience, which, according to Coach Scott, accounted for the inconsistency of the Link harriers. Johnny Matzke and Paul Johnson were the most consistent runners for Lincoln High throughout the season, but Coach Scott cited Bobby Schoonover as the Above: Deb Borer, one of two girls running for the Links this season, finishes well in this Lincoln Public Schools reserve meet. Below: Steve DeVoogd and Johnny Matzke stretch in preparation for the Lincoln Public School's meet most improved runner Schoonover recorded a third place finish at the non-qualifiers meet in October. Coach Scott said that Schoonover improved with each week and had a fine attitude. The Links started the season off on a sour note with a sixth-place finish at the Nebraska Wesleyan Invitational and a fifth-place finish the following week at the Millard Invitational. Coach Scott said, I wasn't at all satisfied with this group's participation, for the fact that they simply didn't learn to really compete until the end of the season.” Coach Scott agreed, however, that next year looks promising Matzke, a seventh place medalist at the Millard Invitational, stated, This year's team consisted of almost entirely underclassmen, and the other teams in the city are losing a lot of people to graduation, so our team should do pretty well next year Kevin Steele pushes himself to maintain a strong position in the Nebraska Wesleyan Invitational meet.

Athletics-151 Tough Competition HindersTennisTeam Everybody worked real hard this year and had the desire to win, but the competition around the state was super, commented Mark Mannix, a member of the number one doubles tennis team for the Links during the 1978 season. Mark's statement best summarizes the type of season the 1978 tennis team experienced this year. With a dual record of three wins and nine losses and a fourth-place finish in the Lincoln Public Schools Tournament, it seemed that the tennis team had a disappointing season. But the team peaked at the right time; at the State Tennis Tournament LHS surprised everyone by finishing tenth. One of the major difficulties faced by the Links this season was the lack of a team leader. But according to second-year coach Pat Maloy. the attitude of the team was great and much was learned by the season. The number one singles player for most of the season was junior Larry Pospisil. Coach Maloy cited Larry as being one of the most consistent players and is looking forward to his return next year Larry also teamed up with senior Mark Mannix, form- ing a number one doubles team that posed a threat to all other teams in the state. The number two singles player for the Links was senior Frank Wimmer. while Mike Fen and Doyle Rein- wald composed the number two doubles team. The Links should have a respectable team next year with returning lettermen Pospisil and Pen along with several upcoming reserves that will add depth to the team.

The boys' team had many outstanding efforts and players. The teams' top three competitors were senior Nick Harms and sophomores Dave Wallesky and Tom Stippich The teams' most outstanding effort was the second-place finish at districts with a score of 381 This meet marked the first time LHS had defeated inter-city foe Lincoln East for several years It also was the first time the Links qualified for state play in eight years. In the state meet, the Links finished in 12th place with a team score of 366 The season for Sally Roper, a first year coach for the girls' team was different than the boys'.

Starting the season with one returning starter and only three other returning lettermen, the Links were taken out of the picture by the sportswriters. In the preseason ratings, the writers said that the lack of experience, height, and maturity would result in a poor season for Lincoln High. They were proven wrong, however, as the young Links remained in the Top Ten from the beginning of the season to the end. The highest ranking attained was the number five spot in the state during the eighth week of the season. Led by returning starter Rich Sheridan, and returning lettermen Jeff Barron, Jeff Salomons, and Bill Szalawiga, the Links rolled to early success by winning five of their first seven games, including a 75-35 blowout of Columbus in the season opener. Other fine games included a 75-72 victory over Omaha Tech, a team which was ranked second in the state for almost the entire season. All five starters scored in double figures against Tech as Szalawiga had 17, Salomons 16. Sheridan 15, Barron 14, and Derrick Hull finished the scoring with 13. A 60-45 slaughter over Northeast ended a five-year, nine-game losing streak for the Links, to the Rockets. Coach Aldie Johnson, in his nineteenth year as head basketball coach, was very pleased with both games. 'Both games were very satisfying,'' he commented. We've had many close games in the past with Northeast and we've gone several years without beating them, which made the victory all the better. Also satisfy- ing was the fact that they had four returning starters back and we still dominated the entire game. The Links looked strong heading into district com- petition by winning four of their last five games, losing only to number three ranked Omaha South, 54-52. Seeded third in the district, the Links were prepar- ing to avenge an earlier loss to the Beatrice Orange- men. The night before the game, tragedy struck Lin- coln High's star guard, Rich Sheridan. While attempting to slide down a bannister, Sheridan fell backwards eighteen feet to the ground. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. He was un- conscious for over two days but sustained no broken bones. Without his help, the Links lost their district game, 67-58, but put up a very gallant effort in trying to win for their teammate. Post-season honors went to Sheridan, who was selected to the All-City team, along with senior Jeff Barron and junior Bill Szalawiga, who were both chosen to the All-City second team. All five regular starters ended the season averaging in double-figures as Sheridan tallied 209 season points, Barron finishing with 201 points, Szalawiga 195 points. Hull 177 points, and Salomons ended with 175 points. Salomons and Hull also led the rebounding category with 117 total rebounds for Salomons and 109 for Hull. Sophomore John Matzke, who started about the first five games for the Links, ended the season with 49 points. Junior Bill Szalawiga attempts to dribble his way out of a swarm of Norfolk defenders.

A- Reserve's Build With Fair 8-8 Record The 1978-79 Reserve Basketball Team ended their season with a respectable 8-8 record and a third place finish in the city. Starting the season very poorly, losing six of their first nine games, the reserves went on to win five of their last seven contests to even their record at the .500 percent mark. According to Head Coach Joe Folsom, this late success was simply due to improvement. It was fundamental improvement as compared to the beginning of the year when the kids were not as fun- damentally sound with their passing, dribbling, and shooting. This is what reserve basketball is about, however. To build and prepare kids for varsity action,” he said. He also stated that his team was never out” of any of their 16 ball games. The lack of a good, tall inside man hurt the whole team. Leading the reserves in both scoring and rebounding all year was junior Anietie Udofia. He also saw con- siderable varsity action near the end of the year. He finished the season with 147 points, and 118 rebounds to lead in both categories. Others cited by Coach Folsom for their improvement were Tracy Hudnell, who finished second in both scoring and rebounding with 98 points and 66 rebounds; Brent Keller, the team's playmaker who ended the year with 95 points and 12 assists to lead the team in that category; and Ken Hopper, a late season starter who finished with 93 points. Others who saw considerable action were Eric Bishop, Todd Fiedler, Paul and Steve Johnson and Charley Sims. Sophomore guard Brent Keller drives in for an easy two points.

Coach Jake Kirkland. Sophomores End Rough Year In Style They were definitely the best group of youngsters that I've coached at Lincoln High, commented fifth- year sophomore coach Jake Kirkland. Their skills were not nearly as good as last year's group, but their attitude and willingness to learn was reflected by their improvement from the beginning of the season to the end. Opening the season with a two point, last-second loss to Beatrice, the Lincoln High sophomore basketball team started a string of heartbreaking losses on their way to a bleak 3-9 season. But this record in no way indicates the amount of effort and improvement shown by the entire squad throughout the season. Included in this string of losses was a one-point loss to Northeast, a four-point loss to Pius X, a two-point loss to Papillion, and a four-point loss to East High. They ended the season very impressively, however, with a win over cross-town rival Southeast, 59-56 Coach Kirkland stated, We worked an entire four quarters in the Southeast game, using our 1 -2-1-1 zone press very effectively. It was a matter of personal satisfaction for the entire team. Southeast had beaten us earlier and we weren't going to let them beat us again, especially with it being our last game at home. Leading the Links in scoring throughout the year were Billy Tesch with 134 points, Dan Cuddeford with 119 points and Jon Fuenning with 89 points. Dave Wallasky looks to get the ball inside to teammate Jon Fuen- ning in a tough game at Lincoln High. Athletici-161 Girls Team Led By Seniors' Experience The pinpoint passing of Deb Cirksena aided the Links all season. The 1978-1979 year was a good one for the girls basketball team as they posted a mark of 14-6. This record doesn't reflect on their fine play all season long for they lost three games in overtime and never lost a game by more than eight points. According to senior Deb Cirksena. Our defense held us together. We were the leading team in the state in defense off and on all season. Third-year coach Bill Myers felt that the team was led by the experience of the seniors on the squad: Liz Man- nix, Jill Rump, Anne Meyers and Deb Cirksena Their poise and previous experience of playing for Mr Myers helped pave the way for the seven underclassmen of the team. Captain Liz Mannix was the leading scorer for the Links, averaging 17 points a game, and was selected to the All-City team. As a three-year letter winner, Mannix played in every one of the 58 games coached by Mr. Myers at LHS and in that time set 15 individual records including leading rebounder and scorer. Showing a lot of poise for a sophomore, Lisa Phipps was the leading rebounder for the Links and was the team's second leading scorer. She was cited by Coach Myers for her never-ending hustle and determination to win. Only 5'9 , she made up in hustle what she lacked in height, enabling her to become an extremely tough inside player. Other strong performers for the Links were sophomores Mary Splichal and Lori Trejo along with juniors Carol Dockter, Carla Frauen, Colleen Weixelman and Pam McWilliams. Coach Myers stated, although everyone didn't get to play each game, each individual gave 100% at practices and was supportive of whoever was on the court. The Links started off the season winning all their first five games and were highly ranked going into the Husker Invitational. There the Links hit a midseason slump, losing their first two games and eventually finishing sixth in the tournament. The girls bounced right back with an impressive 65-33 win over North Platte, and a 63-36 decision over Omaha South. The Links lost their first inter-city game to Northeast in overtime, losing 40-36. After a 44-42 win over Pius, the girls travelled to Grand Island where they lost to the eventual state champions 48-42. Next came three successive wins over Norfolk, Southeast and Hastings before losing to cross-town rival East High, 47-39 The Links were again unable to beat Northeast as they lost to the Rockets in the District finals. But if we had to lose to anyone. I'd rather have it be Northeast,'' re- marked Deb Cirksena. After a respectable season, the Links finished eighth in the final ratings.

Super-sophomore Alecia Edmgton uses some fancy footwork, dribbling through two Northeast defenders This year's girls reserve basketball team posted the best LHS record ever for a girls reserve team with a 12-3 mark. The winning season can be attributed to many things but mainly to . . . the team's togetherness and their ability to play together as a team and not as a group of individuals, says junior Karen Tucker. First-year coach Kraig Anderson felt that by improving a little bit every week, the Links were able to continue winning throughout the season instead of hitting their plateau early in the year. Sophomore Robin Danner was the leading scorer for the Links, scoring an average of seven points a game. She will be back next year aiding the Links with her quickness and ability to drive to the basket. The leading rebounder and second leading scorer for the Links was 5 11 sophomore Rhonda Becker. Her rebounding ability allowed her to play some varsity ball until an ankle injury sidelined her for the rest of the season. Danner and Becker, along with juniors Tracey Ander- son and Karen Tucker and sophomore Anna Baker, will be back next year to help the girls basketball team con- tinue its winning ways.

The 1979 swimming team finished the year very strong. The tankers placed an impressive seventh in the state meet Coach Gene Cotter said his team's best efforts were against Fremont in a dual, which LHS won 98 to 73, and the State meet finish. The team consisted of many outstanding individuals. Mark Hammer, a three-year letterman, swam the 200 and 500 freestyle. Mark placed ninth and eighth respec- tively in these two events at the state meet. Aaron Drake, a sophomore, competed in the 200 in- dividual medley and the 100 breast stroke. In the state meet, Aaron finished an impressive third in the breast stroke and fourth in the medley. The LHS diving team was very strong the entire year. The diving team was led by Brad Jameson, Randy Strickler and John Cotter. At the state meet. Brad placed seventh, Randy placed eighth and John finished eleventh. Other fine finishes at state were by the two relay teams. The medley relay grabbed sixth and the freestyle relay finished eighth. Coach Cotter said, he had outstanding individuals in Hammer and Drake, but didn't have the depth of past years. The state meet points were the most scored by the Links in the last five years. The swim team looks to have some strength for next year, since the squad was mostly composed of sophomores.

The girls extended their winning streak in dual com- petition to 27 before being defeated by eventual state champion. Lincoln Northeast. The LHS gymnasts defeated Ralston. Papillion. Grand Island, Westside, North Platte and East before losing to Northeast. But they didn't give up, bouncing right back to defeat Beatrice, Omaha South and Lincoln Southeast. The overall team improvement was evident as their team score improved with each meet. According to senior Stacey Porter, improvement on the uneven parallel bars helped the team socre. Almost the entire bars team from last year graduated so we had to recruit other members of the team. Anne Draper and Lori Ideus really came through when we needed them, Porter said. Ideus went on to finish seventh at districts and qualified for state until a hand injury stopped her from competing. First-year coach Gary Jeurink added that the team's togetherness and ability to adapt was the main reason for success. Once again the team was led by all-around performer Stacey Porter. Besides competing well all season, she finished second at districts and fifth at state. But as everyone improved, there was less individ- ualism and more team depth. Senior Julie Scott stated, This year Stacey didn't have to carry such a load. The most outstanding team effort came in the dual meet against Lincoln Southeast. The Links scored their season high with 113.35 points, defeating the Knights by more than three points and allowing the Links to finish second in the city . In this meet, the beam team, consisting of Stacey Porter, Julie Scott. Sue McCord. Nancy Oppegard and Lisa Scott turned in their best combined effort of the season. The addition of assistant coach, Joyce Johnson, was one more reason for team's overall improvement. Using her many years of dance experience, Mrs. Johnson helped the girls choreograph their floor exercise and beam routines and worked with them enabling them perform their routines consistently. Floor specialist Debi Kennedy said, Mrs. Johnson brought new ideas and new music changing the style of our team. Next year should be a rebuilding season for the Links as the majority of this year's team was seniors. But coach Jeurink feels that if more underclassmen go out and are willing to work hard, the Links should have a respectable team next year. Sophomore Leah Shaw displays the needed strength to work the uneven parallel bars. Returning from a knee injury, senior Julie Scott shows the graceful form that aided her all season.

The most outstanding team effort came when the Links won the city championship. The championship was Coach Harold Simpson's second city title in the past three years. At the Trans-Nebraska meet the Links placed high, grabbing a second-place finish. Another big effort was placing fourth at Districts and qualifying six wrestlers in the state meet The team had many outstanding wrestlers. Rus Hitz and Skip Madsen placed fifth in the state meet. Rus wrestled in the 167-pound weight class and was a district champion. Rus also finished second in the Trans-Nebraska meet. Skip wrestled in the 138-pound weight class and was Trans-Nebraska champion. Skip also received a second place finish at districts. Other outstanding efforts were by Dung Do and Rocky Carter who both finished second at the Trans-Ne- braska. Rocky also participated in the state meet. Other wrestlers placing high in the Trans-Nebraska meet were Mark Steer and Greg Lemon. Both went onto wrestle in the state meet Barney Zimmerman was the other LHS wrestler who saw action in the state meet. Coach Simpson said overall the 1979 team was his best but he has had other good wrestlers and teams. This is the first time he has had more seniors than sophomores. The reserve team compiled a 9 and 1 record and won the reserve city title and Lincoln High reserve meet.

Above: Nkere Udofia, senior sprint and long jump specialist, strains to hit 22'1' and first place at the Millard Invite Right: Senior hurdler Tarrence Scott maintains a good lead in the 480 yard low hurdle relay. Entering the 1979 boys' track season with just seven of eleven lettermen returning, the Links were again plagued with problems of depth and experience. The sophomore turnout was better than the last few years, but still not as fruitful as anticipated. Twenty-six year Head Coach Harold Scott stated, Our job is difficult as a coach. Sure we've got just as many fine athletes at Lincoln High as any other school in the state, but the problem is getting them away from their automobiles, jobs, girlfriends and other interests. The Links opened the season at Millard with the Millard Relays, and then returned home the following week for the Lincoln Relays. Leading the Links for the year were seniors Nkere Udofia, Jeff Barron and Mark Steer. Udofia ran the sprints and was a long jumper in which he was a two- time state qualifier. Barron was a high jumper and also ran the hurdles. He also qualified for state as a sophomore. Steer worked in the weight department. Our individual performers were outstanding, as they have been for the past two years. Nkere has always been one of the top athletes in the state, he has tremendous ability. And we had expected from the beginning that Jeff would be right at the top in the state high jump competition,” Scott stated. The Trans-Nebraska meet was held at the new, all- weather track in Fremont with teams such as Northeast, East, Southeast, Fremont and other schools competing. The Links closed out the season with the district meet on May 11 and the state meet at Omaha Burke on May 18 and 19. Returning lettermen who performed well were junior Tracy Hudnell in the long jump, senior Kevin Steele in the distance races, junior Derrick Hull in the triple jump and senior Tarrence Scott in the hurdles. Sophomores who performed admirably for the Links were Gayle Adams, Jon Fuenning and Jim Baker. Our track program is beginning to look up with this group of sophomores, but it is still far short of the depth that we will need in years to come, said Coach Scott. 1979 BOY'S TRACK TEAM. Row 1: V.

Girls Combine Talents To Spell Success The combination of capable sophomore performers and returning letter winners spelled success for the 1979 Lincoln High School Girls Varsity Track Team. First-year Coach Jean Henrichs was pleased with the development of the group. Coach Henrichs, who teaches math, was an instructor and intramural director at Lin- coln East for 11 years before coming to Lincoln High. Juniors Cindy Scaggs, Deb Borer and Jackie McEwen led the Links' hopes in the distance events. Returning senior letter winner Tina Schoonover was the squad's top competitor in the weights. In the sprints, two returning letter winners. Charlene Maxey and Rose McWilliam led the way. The team began the year with a dual against Lincoln East. The following week the Links participated in the City Relays. The squad also faced tough opponents in the Husker Invitational and Fremont Invitational. Coach Henrichs enjoyed his first year of coaching the girls team. He said he had a good group of girls to work with. The team was assisted by Vicki Hurt, a Lincoln High administrative assistant.

With six returning starters from last year's team, sixth-year coach Bill Zuspan was hoping he could find the right combination to continue where the 1978 team left off, winning five of their last six games. Team speed was an important factor in aiding the Links. Last year the Links led the state in stolen bases with 70. This year was no different. With returning letterwinners Bryan Horacek, Doug Moore and Dave Hamersky, the Links were a threat every time they reached base. Excellent defense had to compensate for the team's major weakness, pitching. Senior Jeff Salomons was the only pitcher returning from last year's team, so the Links had to rely on the play of several upcoming reserves. But Zuspan added that the pitching staff worked hard and came along well during the season. The team's nucleus centered around two returning all-city performers: Bryan Horacek and Darrell Peak. After batting .371 and .314 respectively in 1978, they continued their strong play into the 1979 season. Enthusiasm for baseball was not lacking as over 90 boys came out for the varsity, reserve, and sophomore squads combined. The team had a tough 16-game regular season schedule along with District tournament. The tougher opponents for the diamondmen were Southeast and Omaha Westside, but Coach Zuspan felt that every team was a challenge. Senior Bryan Horacek's fine hits were relyed upon to bring runners home. Athletics-178 Senior Jeff Salomons was star pitcher for the Links team. Senior Scott Fiedler fires the ball back to home base. Darrell Peak makes a clean catch. Doug Moore, also a strong base runner, practices fielding grounders. As an infielder, senior Dave Hamersky was one of the most consistent players for the Links.

The reserve team was coached by Lincoln High counselor Tom Pappas. The sophomore squad was directed by Ted Sheeley, a guidance counselor at Everett Junior High School. Both coaches said that many of their players have an excellent shot at gaining varsity baseball positions next year. The reserves had a tough 16-game schedule in which they played many of the stronger Omaha schools such as Omaha Westside and Omaha South along with all four of the Lincoln city teams. Coach Sheeley said speed and aggressive play were the two main strengths of the sophomores. I have really enjoyed working with the kids ' Coach Sheeley said. They all had a good attitude and showed much improvement. The sophomores played all of the Lincoln schools twice during the season. A city sophomore tournament concluded the season. Heavy rain storms and high winds kept both teams from practicing outdoors at the beginning of the season. The two teams were ready to go though, for their first games.

Team depth had always been a problem for the gal netters. but with most of last year's team returning and two promising newcomers, the Links found the needed depth to build a strong team. Returning from last year's team were seniors Becky Herrick. Stacey Porter, Donna Frey, and Andra Purkalitis, along with juniors Marcia Richards and Eilleen Nettleton. The gal netters had a tough ten-dual meet season facing highly regarded Southeast and Grand Island at the very beginning of the season along with par- ticipating in the Fremont Invitational, Trans Nebraska, Lincoln Public Schools Tournaments and the state meet. Bad weather prevented the Links from practicing as much as they would have liked at the beginning of the season but hard work soon overcame this problem. At the beginning of the season. Coach Cheryl Henry stated. The toughest competition will come from the other Lincoln schools but if we play up to our potential, we should be able to take city.'' The reserve tennis team had a rebuilding season with most of the team consisting of incoming sophomores. Some of the stronger performers for the reserve squad were Nancy Gabelman, Christy Pfeifer and Chris Strahan. Next year should be a rebuilding season for the Links as four seniors are graduating from this year's team. But with the experience gained this season and with hard work.

The most popular intramural sport was basketball. This year's league was composed of 12 teams. The teams were formed by anybody who could get players together. After every team had played each other once, the best teams were to move on and play in the city tournament. There were three teams that emerged. For the sophomores it was the Zig Zag and in the junior and senior division, the Rackets and Climax. The Zig Zag and Rackets lost their first round game, but Climax defeated Northeast's Outlaws and advanced to the finals. In the final game, Climax outscored Northeast's Chainsaw Massacre by six and were the intramural city cham- pions. Climax finished the season undefeated with a 13-0 record. At LHS, weightlifting was another popular activity. A weightlifting contest was held to see who was the strongest Link. After all the iron had been lifted, Dave Hamersky came out on top. Finishing second and third were Pat and Mike Borer respectivly. The events judged were the squat, bench and clean. In the squat competi- tion, Dave Hamersky finished first with a lift of 400 pounds. Tim Cruickshank placed second and Ty Seeger finished third. In the bench press, Ty Seeger finished first, lifting 285 pounds. Dave Hamersky placed second and Pat Borer finished third. In the final event, Pat Borer won the clean with a lift of 225 pounds. Mike Borer placed second and Tim Cruickshank finished third. CLIMAX BASKETBALL TEAM. Row 1: B Keller. N Udofia Row 2: S.

Jones replaced Mr. William Pfeiff as Vice Principal Dr Jones received his Ph D. in Educational Administration from Nebraska in 1974 Some of Dr. Jones' responsibilities include guiding student clubs and activities, working with community agencies and or- ganizations, and handling student behavior. This year, the Administration has accomplished a number of new programs, including an appraisal system for teachers, new independent study procedures, and counseling for students with drug or truancy related problems. Two new projects are federally financed. These are the Teacher Center Proposal, which interacts the school, parents, and the community, and the CETA Proposal, which concerns the financing of projects out- side of the school. Some goals of the Administration include helping teachers learn new teaching techniques, the establish- ment of classes with different learning styles, and the evaluation of the curriculum with student input.

Faculty-207 fAcMJud Jacuity Smt 25 tftoM Qi %ow Lincoln High School is honored to have seven faculty members on the staff, who have worked for twenty-five years or longer Few schools can match this record of dedication that these people have shown. This helps to make the school stronger by reinforcing its traditions. One must not look at how long these people have served LHS, but also at how much. All of them have been involved with the students and their activities. It is the concern for students, shown by these people that makes a successful teacher. Mr Harold Scott has been a teacher at LHS for thirty-three years, the same as Mr. Pfeiff In fact, they attended Lincoln High together as students. Mr Scott has taught a variety of classes including Driver's Education, Physical Education. Health, Business Law, and History. He has also been coach for reserve football and basketball teams, and for varsity cross country and track squads. He is spon- sor for Boy's L Club, and head of the Social Studies department. Mr. Scott describes himself as a ''tra- ditional'' teacher, and feels that discipline to do a job is most important in a student's education. Mr. William Pfeiff has been a loyal Link all of his life. After graduating from Lincoln High School, he served in the army. In January of 1946, he returned to LHS to teach, making this year his thirty-third as a faculty member Mr Pfeiff has served as football and track coach, Dean of Boys, Director of Athletics, Vice Principal, and returned this year to teaching history. It is obvious that Mr Pfeiff likes Lincoln High, and he claims he can place most of his experiences in the win column. He said he is learning each day, and that LHS has helped him gain appreciation that all of us have strengths, and some weaknesses. Loyalty to LHS seems to run in Mr. Pfeiff s family, as all three of his children graduated from Lincoln ✓ Uo tmk a to lum. — afxmut, jmot d) Miss Wilhelmina Johnson has taught history at LHS for the last thirty-one years. She has served as sponsor for County Government Day, Y Teens, Mime group, and has participated in Joy Night. Before she came to Lincoln in 1947, Miss Johnson taught at Center, Nebraska in a two teacher high school. Miss Johnson says she teaches to give students understanding and appreciation of American and World History. She feels that students need to understand their heritage in order to survive as a nation. She also tries to enforce the importance of the three C's Vto her students consideration, concern, and courtesy.

While he was in the navy during World War II. he taught men how to fly aircrafts. In 1950. Mr Lien came to Lincoln High to teach such courses as English, Amer- ican History, and Driver's Education. He has served as sponsor for Mummers, and Scribe, which is what LHS's literary magazine used to be called. Miss Betty Heckman again proves that LHS spirit doesn't die. After graduating from Lin- coln High, she returned to teach for the last twenty-six years. She has served as sponsor for Pep Club, and Aqualinks. as well as the Advocate and the Links. Now she is in charge of the alumni activities. She has also par- ticipated in Joy Night. ----------------- Mr. Buford Grosscup's involvement in Lincoln High proves how much he enjoys it. He claims he likes the students and staff, and the environment. Mr Grosscup came to LHS twenty-eight years ago. Since then, he has taught American and World History, Economics, Modern Problems, and several quarter classes He has coached football, basketball, track, baseball, and golf. Among the athletes he has coached, three of them were his children. For the last five years, Mr. Grosscup has been the sponsor %a ik (Jon 2 o un This is the twenty- sixth year Mrs. Alice Behrends has served LHS. When she first came to Lincoln High in 1952, she was the main office receptionist.
