LHS in government The Student Advisory Board was a group of students who attended bi weekly meetings to PSAB to discuss stu- dent rules dealing with activities and other issues. Special committees were formed to investigate some topics. Lincoln High was very active on the board. The members were: Carol Junge, Mike Fen. Kate Kopischke, Suzanne Peterson, Susan Lococo, Ann Henning and Lori Guthrie. Basically, the Student Advisory Board served as the voice of Lincoln High students who had something to say to the administration. Another government related activity was County Government Day. Fourteen Lincoln High juniors were elected in the beginning of November to take part in the day-long learning session. On November 14, the elected officials went to the County-City building and saw where their county officials worked and what their jobs were. After the tour, the students went to the Legionnaire Club for lunch and listened to guest speaker, State Attorney Gen- eral Paul Douglas. County Government Day participants and their offi- ces were: Steve Peiper, County Attorney; Shelly Searcey, County Judge; Wendy Hanshaw, County Commissioner: Cheryl Cooke, District Court Clerk; Christi Pfeifer, Juvenile Court Judge; Jim Baker, County Engineer; Kim Lamb, Election Commissioner; Mike Jordan, Public Defender; Jeff Horacek, County Sheriff; Cindy McMahan, Registrar of Deeds; Gayle Adams, Civil Defense Director; Rochelle Hitz, County Assessor; Chris Burbach, County Assessor; and Anne Hamersky.

Student Council supported American Education Week by participating in a rally at the Capitol. LHS StuCo active Active is one word a person could use to describe the 1979-80 Student Council. They were involved in numer- ous projects that served both the school and the community. Headed by President Kate Kopischke, the group planned Homecoming, the Distinguished Alumni Recog- nition. Halloween parties for grade schoolers, the Pickle Dance, the Holiday Dance, Sadie Hawkins, a film festival and other projects. They also retook pictures for use in a slide show about Lincoln High and they marched in the American Education Week Rally at the State Capitol. Some members attended the Nebraska Association of Student Council convention in November in Scottsbluff, where LHS council member Carol Junge was elected State Treasurer. The members who attended the conven- tion learned many new ways to improve school spirit and pride. Kopischke felt that this year was great I think we have a super council, she said. Everyone pitched in and we got a lot done. Representing the senior class on Student Council were Louise Sharp; Joel Thornton. Historian; Mike Fen, Vice President; Bill Szaliwiga; Susan Lococo, Treasurer; and Korinna Jones. The juniors were Nancy Oppegard, Carol Junge, Suzanne Peterson. Kate Kopischke and Lisa Venhaus.
