It makes a person Link—proud to be Full of Life. ■ lllhill 1 1____________ 1 Full of life; pride School complimented; awarded Lincoln High—a school full of hurrying stu- dents. A school filled with enthusiasm and ambition. It was a school that was, at every turn, Full of Life. Because of the life filling the 1,714 students and nearly 200 staff persons, LHS has been recognized and praised. Many representatives from out-state Nebraska schools came to LHS to review the offered pro- grams and available facilities. Principal Sam Nelson welcomed these visitors and realized that it was quite a compliment to the school to have them come to LHS. “If we’re not doing something right,” he said, “people wouldn’t want to come to look at us!” Maybe Mr. Nelson’s confidence in the life of the school was what prompted him to enter the school as a possible candidate for one of the best in the nation. As it turned out, Mr. Nelson’s confidence was not misplaced. After the long selection process, LHS was named one of 117 best public and private high schools in the nation. Lincoln High—a school to be proud of. A school filled with students who have shown and continue to show that they are Full of Life. The all-school pep rally for Homecoming was a time to get crazy and a time for quiet observation. On October 5, Homecoming, students and faculty suffered through the day on an adjusted schedule nicknamed “the-adjusted-double assembly fire-drill pep-rally bell schedule. Presented to LHS for being one of the top 117 high schools in the nation, the flag hangs in the office window for all to see. This colorful red, white and blue flag with gold, brown and green accents serves as a reminder of another Lincoln High Job Well Done.

One way is a relationship between at least two parties. And any relationship requires a lot of give and take. The community’s relationship with LHS was one example of this. This system of give and take has been fine-tuned in the past years and it shows in the role of the community and the role of LHS students. Many programs existed to get LHS and the community together. For instance, there was EPIC Educational Participation In the Commun- ity. This program grants credit to students to volun- teer in such places as nursing homes, pre-schools, hospitals and the state legislature. The Career Exploration program offered another opportunity for the community and school to interact. Through Career Exploration, students could learn about the career they had chosen on a first hand basis. Students not only learned about their chosen career, but they also got experience that could be helpful in landing that first job. Other ways that LHS got involved in the com- munity included open house, student council pro- jects and citizenship issues volunteer hours. A relationship developed between school and community is an important one. And, it takes stu- dents who are Full of Life to make it work. 4—Outstanding Community Lincoln High has a special quality that has built a supportive framework for the school. By opening its doors to the immediate community, the city, the state and the nation, LHS has earned a favorable reputation which has won the respect and support from the community as a whole. Outstanding Community—5 6—Student Life Relationship special Various activities take time n 1 J Fr people who choose to participate in rela- tionships, weekend activi- ties can quickly become a very expensive experience. It then becomes necessary to find different things to do, or when it is necessary to spend money, make it worth it. In a sense—Cheap Dates!! Doug Toline, a senior, said some of his favorite times with his girlfriend are those times at home, watching T.V. or listening to the radio. “Some of the best times we have are those when I go over to her house or she comes to mine, and that’s all we do, stay at home,” he said. He also said that when they do something that costs money, “Whoever has the money pays for the date, sometimes it’s me, sometimes it’s her.” Tammy Schriner, a sen- ior, said she likes to picnic to get away from the cost of going out. “We take some food (our parents’ of course) to the park, and just have fun by ourselves,” she said. “Sometimes we go over to friends houses to watch movies on a VCR or to watch something on HBO, or something like that.” She added, “We also go to parties to be with our friends, that doesn’t cost anything for us.” Both Doug and Tammy said they do things that cost money. Doug said he and his girl friend drove up to Omaha to see the Truck Races. “That was an expensive night,” he said. Tammy said her and her boyfriend go to movies, maybe miniature golfing once in awhile, some- times dinner. All in all, they said they definitely preferred the times they could spend alone, in front of the T.V. or stereo, with their own boyfriend girlfriend, re- spectively.

Student Life—7 Not to be mistaken for a trailer home, Devon’s mobile home is his domain. Since it is so far from the inner town area, most of Devon’s time is spent either at home or at school. 8—Houses Houses provide security Houses more than place to come home to Where’s the one place that a person can always go and can even feel secure? For many, that place is home. The house can come in many different versions and all fit the same definition of home. To Devon Schumacher, who lives in a mobile home, “The house itself, the physical building, isn’t important—it’s the home, the family, the people who you share the house with. That’s what’s really meaningful. Home is a place of shelter and security.” The family unit itself can also mean security. Gretchen Zwetzig’s house is approximately one hundred years old. She loves her house simply because that is where her mom, dad, and sister are. Lisa Allison lives on an acreage in a farm house. To her, the openness and the beautiful surroundings are what make her house a home. Because Debbie Placek’s dad built their house, it’s customized to fit the needs of the family, so in a sense, it is actually a part of the family. For her, “It’s a place to relax and be myself.” The Placek family engages in one mighty interesting tradi- tion every year. Before each winter they drop a tennis ball down the chimney to make sure there are no animals stuck in the fireplace before their first fire. At Brian Crogg’s house there are no household traditions that compare to that, although the house itself is quite unique. Brian lives in the only old under- ground house in his area. To him “It’s just a basement with a roof on top, but also a place to retreat to solid ground when times are rough.” Every house is different, yet for most it serves basically the same purpose, a place one can always go to. Creating the mood of warmth and comfort, the back of Gretchen Zwetzigs’ house offers shelter, shade and plenty of firewood. Her dog Katie keeps an eye on things which completes the feeling of security. Goat trophies glimmer through the front window of Lisa Allison’s house. Their land covers approximately four acres.

From day one, it seemed, the hot summer months were clogged with ac- tivities, and some believed that summer- time was more busy than the school year. Usually, all of this activity revolved around a job of some kind, but some students, for a variety of reasons, decided to take their summer jobs in places other than Lin- coln, Nebraska. Senior Roger Hulinsky was the mainten- ance man at a summer camp sponsored by the American Baptist Churches of Nebraska. “The camp, Hulinsky explained,“was located about twenty miles west of Fremont. I stayed there for about two and a half months in a small trailer- camper that wasn’t at all comfortable. Whenever there was grass to be cut, or dishes to wash I’d be doing it. The job paid 80 dollars a week so that hard work was worth it.” Roger particularly enjoyed the inde- pendence involved. “Getting away,” he said, “from house and family was kind of nice, it was really a new and exciting experience for me.” Senior Maura McLaughlin stayed the entire summer with her uncle in Lake Tahoe, California where, for the duration of the summer, held down three different jobs at once. “My main job,” McLaughlin said, “was head hostess at a pizzaria in Lake Tahoe, but I also worked at a jet-ski rental a couple of days a week. I got to rent out jet-skis and motorized surf boards, and teach people how to use them, and on top of that, I worked at my aunt’s flower shop.” Maura liked to stay busy during the summer with many different activities. “I like to work a lot,” she said. “I don’t want to sit around and be bored, and I’m not the type of person who would lay in the sun for three months and just veg.” Money-making wasn’t the only motive for out-of-town work. LHS senior Naomi Nagy was a junior counselor at a foreign language camp for a week last summer. She taught French to beginners, and helped plan the regular Camp Kataki activities. “We went swimming,” described Nagy, “played soccer, went on hikes, sang songs, and ate bad food.” Naomi had been going to Camp Kataki for three years as a camper and enjoyed it immensely, and then decided she was getting too old for that so she went on and became a counselor.

Susan’s trip was Branigan wonders what to do next on her vacation, enjoyed by her whole family. Cheryl spent the summer with friends in New Port. Finding a bit of Americanism in Paraguay, Jenny Thornton saw that “Coke is it” around the world. Jenny spent most of the summer with a family in Asuncion, Paraguay. Looking from the window of the tour bus. Deb Nichols was inspired to capture the beautiful scenery. Deb’s trip lasted two weeks this summer. 12—Road Trips Vacation—An experience Summer trips combine thrills, culture This summer was a different experience for some students at Lincoln High. Students traveled throughout the United States and in many foreign countries. Cheryl Branigan went to Oregon this summer. While there she stayed with some friends and housesat in the moun- tains. The best thing Cheryl liked while in Oregon was the weather. “It was perfect; warm during the day and cold at night.” Cheryl also traveled to New Port to see the ocean. Pam Bartels was a private exchange student in Germany. She stayed with a family in Kassel, Germany. Pam was there for a month, learning traditions and “eating five times a day.” The most exciting time Pam had was a four day trip to Berlin. There she went on a tour of the Rhine River and saw all the castles and many grape fields. Jennifer Thornton was also an ex- change student. She went to Paraguay for two months. Jennifer stayed with a family the whole two months. She went to school and found the schools quite dif- ferent from ours. “They had no text books, so we did a lot of copying.” Jennif- er’s parents were excited about the trip. They were glad she had an opportunity such as this. When asked what she liked most about the trip, Jennifer replied, “Just being able to do what you wanted to do was fun.” Deb Nichols and a group of students went to Spain this summer for a couple of weeks. Deb stayed with her group, traveling to different parts of Spain. Deb explained that, “You really had to know Spanish to understand what was going on.” She learned much about the culture and the way things were run. “The culture was really backwards from ours.” Deb told of the people; “They were really nice and friendly.” The driving age is higher, about 18 or 20 years old, and they have no sp eed limits. Deb said the most excit- ing thing she did on her trip was an adven- ture to a nude beach, and getting lost on the subway. Students really eat at LHS Survey said cafeteria food wasn’t so bad At least once during any given day a student would either insult, or hear someone else insult, the food served in the Lincoln High School cafeteria. Whether it was being compared to other substances like model airplane glue and biodegradable plastic, or just plain sworn at, the reputation of cafeteria food was not an impressive one. However, a survey taken here at LHS has shown that 51% of the student body ate regularly in the cafeteria. If most of the student body detested cafeteria food then why did over half the school continue to eat there? Sophomore Bryan Hinkley thought the problem was partially economical. “I don’t mind,” Hinkley explained, “eating a lot of junk food, but 1 have to pay for my own lunch, and a dollar goes a lot farther in the cafeteria than at McDonald’s or Super C.” Hinkley also felt that choices for places to go are extremely limited without transportation. “When you’re a sophomore, and so are most of your friends, you end up walking because no one has a car. There aren’t too many places to go on foot near Lin- coln High and all of them cost more money than I have to spend. “Besides,” Hinkley added jokingly, “Mom says school food’s good for me.” Many students ate in the cafeteria, but brought their own sack-lunches from home instead of eating school food. Senior Laurie Fuller brought her own lunch to school every day. “I routinely bring,” Fuller said, “my own lunch to school each and every day. Partially because I can’t easily afford to do it any other way, and also because I feel safer knowing exactly what I’m eating.” Since so many students settled for school food at lunch, maybe it wasn’t as bad as it was cracked up to be... or was it? Providing that not everyone ate in the cafeteria, Lisa Metcalf grabs a bite at Super C. Socializing out front, she offers her friend a drink of coke. The wall in front of LHS can provide a great place to relax during lunchtime. These girls are shooting the breeze with one of last years’ seniors. Eating lunch at LHS’s underrated cafeteria, the student body gets a decent meal at a decent price. Altogether, 51 percent of LHS students ate regularly in the cafeteria. 14—Lunchtime Having a pow wow in front of their lockers, Melisa Coleman, Kathy Burtwell, and Dawn Beebe devour the last of their lunch. Luckily they weren’t caught by a hall monitor. Waiting in line at Sam’s, Kristi Kalivoda gives the camera a surprised glare. Sam’s was one of Lincoln High students’ top alternatives for lunch this year. Lunchtime—15 Discussing things at a locker, Becky Burntt, Roger McGarvey. and Chris Taube have a friendly chat.

This is no fantasy, you have just opened the door to your locker. Lockers can be fun, you don’t even have to hire an interior decorator; all you need is a little imagination and lots of tape. One trip to the store and you’re ready to go. You never can be quite sure what you’ll find in some of the lockers. Those in the Senior Dip included tons of colorful wrapping paper. Hearts, bal- loons, and teddy bears decorate the insides. There are mirrors to smile into and stuffed animals to guard the books. On the third floor, the lockers have lots of pom-poms peeking out of the tops, and colored paper cut-outs. Even the Grem- lins are taking over on the doors. It’s not uncommon to hear someone yell “avalanche!” on your way down to first floor. Of course, the lockers there have their share of Hallmarks and stickers. Not to mention the Chippen- Putting (heir ideas together, Stefanie Ortiz and Laurie Fuller decide what to put in their locker next. Years ago, decorating your locker was forbidden, now it's a tradition. dale’s photographs hanging on the doors. Many lockers throughout the school center around a favorite picture. Some locker photo albums include a loved-one, a favorite star, and even the family dog vies for a place on the door. When asked why people decorate their lockers. Juniors Kim Roby and Jodi Ross summed it up when they explained, “It’s like a tradition. It expressed your in- dividuality.” Although many students at Lincoln High decorate their lockers, others choose not to decorate theirs. Some students just don’t have enough time, or they really don’t want to. Decorating your locker makes the dull, greyness come alive with color and spirit. Each locker is unique and mostly “full of junk.” “It says, ‘this is me!”’ As you walk down the halls, look around and see some of the different, individual lockers. It just may give you that idea you need for your locker, or even brighten your day a little bit. Making sure nothing tumbles out at her, Pam Bartells looks for a book. Five minutes between classes sometimes isn’t enough. Lockers—17 Class becomes 2nd home They’re “home away from home” for most If someone had wandered through the Lincoln High School building, around four or five o’clock at night, they might have expected to find nothing but a vacated stack of hallways. However, upon peering into some of the classrooms, they would have seen a bit more than janitors and empty desks. Many LHS students could be found in late hours of the afternoon and early hours of the morning to be right here at school. They might have been working on homework, talking with a friend, or typing at a computer. Some were waiting for rides, while others just liked to spend a little extra time in the classrooms of their favorite subject or activity. Mummer Stephanie Ortiz explained why she spent her spare time at school in the drama room. “If you spend so much time,” Ortiz said, “in a room, doing the activities that go with that room, you sort of begin to think of it as home. And you feel more comfortable in that room than in any other room in the school.” Many LHS students, like band drummer Rochelle Stahn, had to wait for a while after school for someone to come pick them up. Rochelle thought that it was great that she had a place to go where she really belonged. “Rush lets me stay in the band room after school a lot of the time,” Rochelle explained, “since my mother doesn’t pick me up till five.” There were still other students who spent extra time in classes out of necessity. Senior Mike Evans explained why he spent about an hour each day in the computer room. “I like learning as much as I can about computers,” Evans said, “and I like experimenting with new things. But all that takes time, and since I don’t have a computer at home, I come here a lot.” For whatever the reason, Lincoln High students seem to have been comfortable with, and made good use of, their “homes away from home.” Studying after hours in the photography room, Doug Logan seems to be able to work well without paying attention to what he is doing. Art students have been known for staying after school in order to finish special protects. As an afterschool tradition, Mike Rozmarin, David Hinkle, Tom Boellstorff, Ginger Dzerk, and Jochen Dorenberg gather to relax and talk in the lunchroom. Mrs. Baker offers after school munchies from her concession stand in the cafeteria to needy students. 18—Second Home Keddrin Weber learns the exciting, ever growing technology of the computer. The computer room can rarely be found empty. Catching up on homework in the band room, Diane Ngyuen “hits them books ’ Diane plays the clarinet, the violin does not belong to her.

They came in second necessary to take a short break. Even John Travolta place in the contest. had to get some rest. Dances favor “Breakin” Hit song “Fame” inspires dance creativity Lincoln High dances are ever-increasing in popularity, partly because of the grown enthusiasm about break dancing. A lot of people showed up at the first dance; it was the first LHS dance to hold a break dancing contest. Keno Mordecai thought the contest was great, but disorganized. “Breakin’ takes a lot of physical activity, we needed a tot more room.” Mordecai and his team took first place in the contest. People go to dances for a wide variety of reasons. Marion Jahreis, an exchange student from Bavaria, goes to see the people “I like to see how American students have fun.” Sophomore Don Foley goes simply because it’s something to do, and “it can help you improve socially.” But, to Emily Jagoda, a junior and a compulsive dance attender, “I love them.. . you get that certain special mix of all the right people.” When asked what she likes best about the dances, Emily replied, “I like snappin’ my fingers to the beat. I like the lights, the action, and the beat of the music.” And when asked what she dislikes, “nothin’, just nothin’,” was her response. Sophomore Troy Marbowls, on the other hand, dislikes the fact that there are no free refreshments served, but he does like the selection of music played and “just dancing with my girlfriends.” Senior Becky Boswell appreciates the tow cost; “they’re one of the cheaper forms of entertainment and they’re fun.” She especially enjoys the fact that “you can do whatever you want and you don’t have to be John Travolta.” Boswell’s favorite aspect of Lincoln High dances is when they play the hit song “Fame.” “It brings out the ‘Fame Dancer and creativity in everyone.” 20—Dances Exposing a hidden talent, Kim Hansen demonstrates the “moonwalk”. Kim is wearing the latest fashion in break clothing, parachute pants. Enjoying the popular break dancing, this crowd really “gets into it.” This was the first break dance contest held at Lincoln High. taking a break, Joe Ballard, Victor Day, and Louvelle Rogers discuss the complexities of the plastic surgery done on Michael Jackson’s nose. Most of the posters hung up were gone by the end of the dance, no doubt taken by devoted fans. Dances—21 Not another “Yesterday” Homecoming made memorable by events It was a dark night. The fog and threatening rain made it gloomy. It was a night that warranted staying at home, warm and dry. But, football players, band members, spirit members, concert choir members and numerous students, had to abandon the warm-and-dry idea; this night was homecoming. At Seacrest Field, before the game, Homecoming seemed likely to be doomed when the lights went out. However, after a long, uneasy wait, the lights came back on. The game started a little late, but many students thought that the delay made the game more exciting since everyone was really hyped-up for the game by the time the field was illuminated. The band, needless to say, was not quite as eager to be out on the field that night. Heavy rain and the tearing-up effect of any football game had turned the field into a swamp. But, as senior Eric Jones noted, the band had plenty of enthusiasm and carried through with the many cheers that originated in his section—trumpet, of Displaying confidence in his team, this player gives the 1 sign. He wasn’t far off in his prediction—LHS defeated formerly unbeaten LSE that night with a score of 7-5. 22—Homecoming course. When it came time for the half-time activities, the band and the Homecoming Court filed onto the field excited, even if a little reluctant. The court included Deb Lawson, Tracy Lightbody, Melissa Miller, Lisa Murray and Tammy Schriner for the Queen candidates. The candidates for Homecoming King included Kevin Burbach, Pat Gaines, Bill Sheets, Corky Simms and Steve Wise. Tracy was named Queen and Pat became King. Other Homecoming festivities included honoring Distinguished Alumni Francis Allen, Susan McClanahan and Carl Oleson with the annual double assembly that morning. Complicating the adjusted schedule for the assembly and the annual Homecoming pep rally, there was an unexpected fire in the woodshop. Luckily, the fire department put the fire out before much damage was done. Somehow, after all the little disasters shrouding Homecoming, it is doubtful that it will become just another “yesterday...” Homecoming wouldn’t be complete without the dance after the game. Deb Placek, Luci Jellum, Gregg Peterson, and Becky Boswell are just a few of the many dancers. Allowing their relief to show, Lisa Snyder, Dawn- ette Nungesser and Mollie Keller joyfully finish their routine. The Linkettes had a good reason to be happy—they made it through the show even though it entailed kneeling in the soupy mud. Slightly bowing his head, Pat Gaines reaches up to remove his crown. Besides being crowned Homecoming King, Pat was present for the game to sing the National Anthem with Concert Choir. The smiling queen, Tracy Light body, was honored and happy to be wearing that crown. After the introductions, Tracy, along with the rest of the Homecoming Court joined classmates in the stands to watch the band perform. Homecoming—23 Although there was always something to do, sometimes extra money was necessary. Deb Schneber and Sally Kirsch prepare to pay for the giant swing they are waiting to ride. With Deanna Kingman and Kami Dudley looking on, Mr. Joe Skutchan pleads with the camera-woman not to catch him with his mouth full. Mr. Skutchan, Deanna and Kami were caught in the crowd waiting to buy lunch. The elephant ride was one activity at the Renaissance Fair. Other games of the period included ring toss, Jacob’s Ladder and duals. 24—Renaissance Fair A field trip with meaning Renaissance Fair offers fun and education Early one fall, Sunday morning, LHS students began to gather in the north lot. They were waiting—some were nervous, some sleepy, others anxious and still others were bouncy with energy. Finally, the bus came. This was what they’d all been waiting for and slowly they filed onto the bus. These students, and a handful of faculty, were leaving for the annual Renaissance Fair, held near Kansas City. And, every year a group of students gathered at school one fall morning to attend the Fair. But, this year was different. This year the usual group—the Madrigals—was joined by students from the English and Art Departments. Mr. Curt Ratliff, the British and European Writers teacher, said that Mrs. Merrell Grant was to thank for the interdepartment cooperation. However, all three departments were anxious to work together to make the trip possible. At the Renaissance Fair, there were many things to do and see. Mr. Ratliff especially enjoyed the comic act “Puke and SnotHe said that the firm understanding of the period and the updated version of what times were like made the act his favorite. “In fact,” Mr. Ratliff said, “I spent most of my day watching them over and over again.” To senior Devon Schumacher, experiencing the time period helped him see what he was studying in Brit. Lit. “Seeing the period recreated,” Devon said, “really put it in perspective.” Devon also liked talking with the people working at the Fair. And, because the Renaissance Period interested him, he knew that those people were correct in their portrayal of the time. Out of all the activities, junior Sheri Spilker most wanted to do the Maypole. However, when she made it to the Pole, she discovered that she was too late. Instead, Sheri and her companions watched several plays and made some taste-tests on the food. Mr. Ratliff, Devon and Sheri all agreed on some points. For instance, it was very realistic—from costumes to personalities to activities. All three commented that the trip was fun, besides being educational. “If the students didn’t gain any interest in the Renaissance Period,” Mr. Ratliff said, “they gained knowledge about each other removed from the classroom setting...I hope this trip becomes an annual event, everyone had a good time.” Something was happening everywhere you looked whether it be dancers (above) or a parade of walking comedians. All performers working at the Fair dressed according to the time period and most developed the voice and mannerisms of the past also. Performing for the audience, this magician uses a volunteer for his dollar bill trick. Even though the magic was a bit modernized at the Fair, magic was popular during the Renaissance Period. Renaissance Fair—25 Members find time Organizations membership varies In finding members for organizations, such as Math Club, Student Coun- cil, Band, Mummers, Chess Club, Computer Club, etc..., the members and sponsors have many ways of finding new membership. These members and spon- sors try to find students interested in the kinds of things that particular or- ganization has to offer. In Student Council, the junior and senior represen- tatives go to sophomore English classes to find per- spective sophomores for Student Council; “We go to their (sophomore) clas- ses to try and get new people interested in Student Council,” President Shelly Loos said. “We tell them about some of the past activities and about some new activities being plan- ned, it seems we’ve had pretty good success with it.” Shelly went on to say that in 1983 less than 100 sophomores voted for who they wished to represent them in the Student Coun- cil. In 1984,22 sophomores ran. and about 270 voted. The junior and senior representatives also tell the sophomores about the Student Council as a whole, “We tell them it’s fun, but it takes a lot of time. Some of this time is out of school. We also tell them it’s not a normal activity in that it is a class, and a member of Student Council gets nor- mal class credit.” “As a whole, I like the sophomores’ creative ideas,” Shelly said, “They bring new ideas to Student Council, and therefore make it a better organiza- tion.” Mrs. Patience Fischer, from Math Club, said they depend mainly on “word of mouth.” “New members are usu- ally friends of old members interested in Math, she said, “The members tell their friends about Math Club and hope they participate.” In the Organization Section: Publications....................Pg. 28 Spirit .........................Pg. 32 Membership......................Pg. 38 Government......................Pg. 44 Music...........................Pg. 48 Fine Arts.......................Pg. 58 Productions.....................Pg. 64 Planning the next activity.

Lisa and the other photographers may take many pictures before they find the perfect picture among their negatives. Reflection is often an important part of Year book work and Pam Gal! uses some extra time to do just that. Pam was the Business Manager for the LINKS. Head bent over lay-outs was a common sight in the yearbook room. Tracy Lightbody’s job on the LINKS Staff was to draw up lay-outs following the general design of the section. 28 Publications Reviewing lay-outs, the LINKS Co-Editors agree on design. Gregg Peterson and Robin Re-touching makes the photo look polished Rathjen had to recheck copy and photo and ready for the yearbook.

Staffs need responsibility Journalists share important characteristics Kip Koll described this person as “Curious, responsible and dependable.” Pam Gall described this person as “knowledgeable, responsible and constantly on the ‘go’. Kris Yates described this person as a real individual “With a better- than-average taste for literature.” Kip, Pam, and Kris were all describing a journalist. With these important characteristics, the per- son in the descriptions could easily be on and of the three journalism staffs at LHS—Advocate, Links or Image. For instance, the person could be Kip on the Advocate staff. Kip liked being on the Advocate staff because as a writer she was allowed a lot of creativity. “You find your own way,” Kip said. “No one is telling you what to do.” Carolyn Goodwin, Advocate staff advisor, said that she was “really impressed by the staffs ability to get beyond personalities for the good of the paper.” She attributes this to the staffs sensitivity. “They really don’t want to hurt each other,” Ms. Goodwin said. Ms. Goodwin also thought that because the staff had overcome the personality problems, the staff worked better as a whole. There wasn’t one person doing all the work, the whole staff worked hard to get the paper out. And every person did what they could, utilizing their talents (and patience) to the fullest. Pam, the business manager for the Links staff felt that same level of cooperation had been reached on the yearbook staff. She felt that the Cont. on page 30 Publications-29 Cont. from pg. 29 staff was really coming together, and working well as a whole. However, the Links staff had a rough start. Between the compli- cations of a new advisor, co-editor- ship, and other obstacles, the staff went through a period of “awk- wardness” according to Cathy Knight, Links staff advisor. But, she was impressed with the way the staff “bounced back.” Another complication Ms. Knight was facing was the fact that the whole staff was made up of seniors. And since the Links staff is run nearly entirely by the students, the decision-making skills and refined talents need to be learned through experience on the staff. To remedy this problem, the staff took on 3 underclassmen Kip Koll, Nell Eckersley, and Craig Brouwer second semester. The training received during that short semester was the assurance that next year’s staff would have some experienced members. For the Image board, the year was one of renewal, revival. Last year, there was no Image board or magazine because plans had been made to have a city-wide literary magazine published. However, at the “last minute,” the project had to be abandoned. So, after a year of inactivity, the Image board is back in action. Judy Keller, Image board advisor, noted that even though Image is an LHS publication, its objectives are much different from Links or Ad- vocate. For instance, there was no staff to write all the stories. Everything in Image was from student contribu- tions. Mrs. Keller was impressed with students who do make a con- tribution to the magazine.

They began their activities during the summer at camps and get togethers. Pomalinks had their summer camp at Creighton University in Omaha. They spent four days learning routines (about three a day) and having individual and group competitions. They were really busy while they were there. Two mem- bers won in the competitions: Vicki Shoemaker and Debby Lawson. Vicki was chosen to be on Who’s Who in Drill Teams, and also won a trip to Dallas. There she performed routines with the group. Debby is a part of the American Drill Team which performed in Acapulco. The girls make up most of the routines. They choreograph all of the moves to the music themselves. The 15 member drill team “Works well together,” sponsor Teri Ourada commented. They have also had some changes within the group. An ‘everyday’ sponsor is one of them. Ms. Ourada is at their practices every morning. “They got to a point where they weren’t getting enough attention, and now they don’t know what to do with it,” she said. Other changes included an up- dated constitution, one that every- one understands and follows. They are more involved in community related activities instead of just a performance group. Ms. Ourada emphasized the need to work together in everything they are doingnot just individually. “Each person is as important as the other,” she said.

Spirit-33 Cont. from pg. 33 Being one of the well-established groups at LHS, they still have a hard time being recognized. All the work they put into what they do gets little appreciation. Most of the decisions are made by the group as a whole, but occasionally Ms. Ourada steps in. “It’s their group, and 1 want them to feel as if they have some say so in what goes on.” Another spirit group at LHS that went to summer camp this year was the Flag Corps. Although not many people know their name, the Link- ettes, quite a few are finding out. They have had a few changes, one of them being that they have no sponsor. The 13 member corp has had some responsibility on its shoulders. Member Lisa Metcalf comment- ed, “For not having a sponsor this year, we’ve done quite a lot on our own.” The Linkettes had a summer camp at LHS for three days in July. Private instructor Larry Lawless came in to teach them some tech- niques and a couple of routines. Most of their routines are made up by the group. The competition routines were a mixture of Larry and the Linkettes. “Competition at Seacrest and Memorial Stadium went very well,” Lisa said, “We were really nervous because for most of us, it was our first ‘real’ competition, and a good test for the group on its own.” Another spirit group at LHS is the Pep Club. They are a very large group that tries to promote spirit throughout the school. They sup- port the school events. Pep Club has no tryouts, but is required if one wants to join one of the other spirit groups within the school, or just be in the spirit of things. Although to be an officer, a member has to be an upper class- man, have been in Pep Club for one year, and be in good standing.

A proposal has been made to dissolve the Pep Club and make the other spirit groups bigger. Meaning more reserve and varsity cheerleaders to promote spirit. Mr. Nelson wants to keep pep club for its educational values. It teaches the girls responsibility, leadership and spirit. Senior Tami Atkins, an officer, explained that her job is challenging sometimes, “It’s a lot of work trying to keep the members and the school interested in all the sports. It takes a lot of commitment from a person.” All of the sponsors and members of the spirit groups have stressed working together. Trying to get the whole school involved in the spirit and “Working together toward a common goal is what we’re trying to accomplish.” The last spirit group to have a summer camp was the Varsity and Reserve Cheerleaders. The varsity went to the University of Nebraska under the UCA (University Cheer- leading Association). They learned new cheers and won some awards. One of them was a spirit stick from UCA. The reserve cheerleaders went to Nebraska Wesleyan for their camp. They learned some new cheers and some dance routines. Varsity member Michelle Vanek reflected on her experiences of being a cheerleader. “I really like it, it’s something that not everyone gets a chance to do. It’s also a lot of fun, but involves lots of time and com- mitment.” As she explained, it is a lot of work. The two squads make up most of their cheers and practice them together. Everyone helps but she feels that it shouldn’t be just the cheerleaders. “We need the school to be part of the spirit.” 36-Spirit Cheering the team onto victory are reserve cheerleaders Brenda Hodovy, Debbie Lococo, and Roni Blodgett. The reserve cheerleaders made up most of their own cheers this year. Enthusiasm runs high as the varsity and reserve cheerleaders jump and shout at a game. Their cheers were made up by all members of the two groups. Showing their spirit are Pomalinks Lynette Little and Debbie Lawson. The Pomalinks attended all the games during the basketball Spirit-37 Involvement in clubs fulfill Participation enlightening You might think the foreign language club members just go to meetings once a week or once a month and sit around discussing the new exciting facets of French, German, or Spanish grammar. Not so! “People don’t like to go to meet- ings, but they do like to go to exciting parties and eat lots of good food,” according to Suzy Wilson, an active member in French Club. The goal of Spanish club was to “get kids to learn about foreign food and culture,” said Mrs. Spinar, Spanish teacher. The club certainly did experience some good food when members took a trip to Arturos one evening. Even a few people who were not in Spanish club participated. German club was a new club this year but was in need of more par- ticipating members. The club tried to get students interested in a German fair where students from different schools compete in their language abilities by a number of ways such as reciting poetry or acting out skits. But foreign language clubs have more to do than just have parties and compete with their skills. During the holiday season, French club adopted a family who couldn’t afford to have their own holiday celebra- tion. They collected and gave clothes, food, and presents to a Lincoln family who couldn’t have otherwise afforded it.

According to Kevin Burbach, who lettered in football, years ago the club flourished with members, and in the more recent years it began to diminish in members. In the past couple of years the club has been trying to get started again and is becoming more successful, with about 16 active members in the girls L-Club and about 30 active mem- bers in the boys L-Club. The only requirement to be in the club is to have received a letter, whether it be sports letter or an academic letter. “ We raise money to do stuff, like going on a pizza party...we mostly have fun, but we are also working Cont. on page 42 Getting together for an annual meeting— Showing definite leadership skills, Kevin IMAGE members discuss plans for the publica- Burbach shows some spirit.

Math club goals include doing well in contests as well as learning new concepts in the world of mathematics. “It’s exciting to learn new ideas to add to your thoughts,” said Laurie Fuller. “The club gives you more of an opportunity to learn about math that you wouldn’t learn in an actual class.” The club sold stuffed animals this year to raise money to rent the vans necessary for the club to get to various contests in the state. The club competed both individually and as a team. Fuller was rather excited about the fact that, this year, there were more female members involved in the club. “It’s more evenly structured, I’m very glad about the fact that there are more female members in the club this year.” This year, the only common goal of Art Club was to have an art show. Members worked on a more individual basis to meet personal goals while still learning about new areas in the world of art. “Last year we were working on a trip, this year we are not worrying so much about making money as learning new things in different areas of art...we have more time to work,” explained art teacher, Anita Ross. Members had individual projects to meet their personal goals. Gretchen Zwetzig explained, “I want to work towards a scholar- ship, so I’m working on a portfolio to send to colleges...the club gives me more of an opportunity to improve my artistic skills.” v Painting and drawing are the things Gretchen Emulating true sophistication, Mrs. Spinar, Zwetzig enjoys the most about Art Club.

The group, consisting of 5 seniors, 5 juniors and 5 sophomores were elected by their peers last spring and this fall. But what does student council have to offer? “It is a connection between the students and the administration,” said senior, and vice president, Trevor Bassen. “Student council helps promote the school and the community.” They are involved with almost every school related activity. Not only do they organize Homecoming, the Distinguished Alumni assembly, Spring Fling Week, and the Special Olympics, they get the most blood in the city during the Mobile Blood responsibility Bank drive, ring bells for the Sal- vation Army, and serve on the Superintendent’s Advisory board. The list could go on. The LHS student council never seems to rest. Xhis year, the steering committees have had a slow start in getting organized. The sophomore steering commit- tee in the past had no real specific goal, mainly money-raising projects. According to Dick Patterson, the sponsor for the sophomores, “There hasn’t been enough interest in Sophomore Steering Committee this year and as of now there isn’t Cont. on page 46 Pausing to reflect for a moment. Trevor Bassen looks puzzled. Trevor served as Vice President on student council. Government-45 Cont. from pg. 44 one.” They’ve had two elections so far and only 1 or 2 people showed interest. The Junior Steering Committee has always been known for putting the prom together. This year the prom will be organized by a small group within the steering commit- tee, and their only job is prom. The rest of the committee raises money and puts on various other dances. They sold carnations during lunch to raise money for plaques in memory of Victor Day and Shawn Markel. According to junior Susan Hirt, treasurer of the committee, “The reason for the change is because a few people always ended up doing all the work for prom and so it made more sense to start with a desig- nated ‘Prom Committee.’” “There isn’t as much interest as I’d hoped, but I enjoy it,” Hirt said. Senior Steering committee is responsible for picking out a class gift. The officers were elected after the holidays. Even though these committees have had slow starts, there is no doubt that the school will see some very good results by the end of the year. Have you ever wondered why there are doors on the girl’s restroom stalls, but not on the boy’s? Have you been offended by the holiday break being referred to as Christmas Vacation? If you have a question to whether a procedure or activity is equitable at LHS—you are welcome to take your concern to the Equity Com- mittee. “We do two things primarily,” said Ruth Kupfer, member of Equity, “Listen to concerns about situations at LHS that they think are inequit- able and educate about different cultural beliefs, stereotypes, and awareness of different issues. “No one really knows about it. Some people critize it,” according to Kyle Dyas, student council representative for Equity. “People don’t realize how much is unequal. That something we think is dumb may be good for someone else.

Government-47 Talent abundant at LHS Musical groups provide variety One of the many music groups this year was the Concert Choir. Having 70 members in the group was challenging for director Mr. Joe Skutchan. “They are the top performing group and are mainly responsible for the musical,” commented Mr. Skutchan. The members were juniors and seniors who auditioned for their parts. Concert Choir sang literature for large singing groups. Mainly early to contemporary music. Some of the activities the Concert Choir were involved in this year included a half-hour television program on ETV, and many performances around Lincoln during the holiday season. Soundsation, directed by Mrs. Barbara Luedemann, was a unique singing group. “The group is com- posed entirely of women who sing and dance, but it is very different from swing choir,” Mrs. Luedemann said, “We do more of a chorus- ography, which combines choreo- graphed dance steps and the music they sing.” For junior Lynn Newman, this was her first year in Soundsation. It was a good experience for her. “You get to perform for a variety of people and that gives you confi- dence.

The group sang a variety of music from pop to standard choral literature. Sound- station had many performances this year. They sang at schools around Lincoln and during the holiday season in Gateway Mall. Another big group of singers, which combined both males and females was Mixed Chorus. The group had 76 members and sang mostly the same types of music as Concert Choir. Mixed Chorus is mainly, “A class for students who want a chance to sing in a big group and learn more about music,” director Mr. Joe Skutchan said, “It’s more of a training group.” This years Varsity Swing Choir was challenging, yet enjoyable for director, Barbara Luedemann. The 14 member singing group had many performances during the year. Mostly at junior and senior high schools, community events, banquets and lunches Before one could be considered for Varsity Swing Choir, one had to be a member of Concert Choir. Seven males and seven females make up this years Varsity Swing Choir. They sang mostly vocal jazz and pop and show tunes.

Sophomore Swing Choir sang modern pop music to which they danced to the beat. To be involved in the Sophomore Swing Choir, auditions were taken at their junior high. Sophomore Swing Choir has performed at many different places this year, including many nursing homes, The County City Building and NBC Bank. Mr. Skutchan said, “It was enjoyable watching them mature.” If you enjoy 15th and 16th century music, then you should enjoy listen- ing to the Madrigals. The Madrigals are a 14 member group of juniors and seniors who really enjoy what they’re doing. Madrigals have two different costumes that they wore to perform in. One was their Medieval costume which reflected the styles of the 15th and 16th century. The other was a modern, formal costume which changes every year. During the year the Madrigals were performing about every day during the holiday season. If you sat in the stands during a football halftime, then you’ve seen the Marching Band.

Mr. Rush commented, “For my being the third director in three years, we’ve done a really good job. At first everything was a little chaotic, but we’ve managed to lay down a good foundation for the years to come.” When everyone was still laying in front of the T.V. or by the pool, the Marching Band was out on the field practicing for their first halftime show. For junior Jenni Sherbeck, this of what went on at band camp. “It’s real hot, a little hard but lots of fun.” Usually everyone was out on the field at 7:30 in the morning prac- ticing. All the charts of a new routine can be quite confusing. For the incoming sophomores, they learned the style of marching, how to play their instrument and march, and some vital techniques on how to coordinate their steps to a new routine.

Symphonic Band is by audition only and the more advanced players are chosen. Senior Eric Jones likes Sym- phonic Band because, “It brings people with the same levels of talent together and during competition, everyone goes through it together.” It’s an exclusive group in which any instrument can be played. Sym- phonic Band played some classical music and modem marches. The Concert Band plays rela- tively the same types of music, but is designed for the student to learn more and develop their skills. The Varsity Jazz Band was for people who were experienced in Jazz and gave your more of a musical background. The Varsity Jazz Band played a few old stand- ards and mostly modern Jazz. They have a brass section, a rhythm section, and a saxophone section. Senior Dave Meints commented, “It’s fun and it gives you good experience, you play a variety of music.” Lincoln High also has a Prep Jazz Band this year. Most of the students in the Prep Jazz Band are only in for one year and are either sophomores or juniors who will go on in the Varsity band. Sophomore Raquel Kelly likes the Prep band because, “You learn to improvise to the music and you get practice performing solos. It’s more of a preparation for Varsity Jazz.” Performing at a basketball game, the bands Combining Symphonic and Concert Bands, combine to produces one, harmonious sound, the entire band plays at an outdoor pep rally.

A dictionary definition would be “Those arts considered expres- sive, including painting, drawing, sculpture, architecture, literature, drama and dance.” Not all of these are offered at Lincoln High, but many are. Speech and Debate were often lumped together as their tourna- ments usually took place at the same time. However in reality they are quite different. In speech there are many different categories such as Duet Acting, Oral Interpretation of Drama, Humorous Interpretation, Extemporaneous Speaking, Enter- tainment, Oratory, and Poetry. Ginger Dzerk, a sophomore who was in Duet Acting and Oral Interpretation of Drama enjoyed Speech a lot. Before high school Ginger had never been in such a class, and probably would not have joined if some of her friends who were in it hadn’t suggested she join. Dutch Fichthom, the drama teacher and Speech coach also suggested she join, so join she did. Ginger’s favorite things about Speech were the competition and meeting lots of new people. “Al- though it’s a lot of work, you do experience new things,” she said. Most of these new experiences occured during the various Speech tournaments. For participants in a Speech tournament, Saturday begins early. Everyone, Speech and Debate, would meet in the Lincoln High parking lot at 6:30 am. They would then pile into one of the two vans, driven by either Mr. Fichthom or Mrs. Cain. After arriving at their place where the tournament was being held, they would then get their schedules indicating where and when their rounds were being held. After the rounds come the finals and ultimately the Awards Ceremony. These tournaments usually happened every weekend. In Debate there are teams which either have set arguable subjects which remain the same Cont. on page 60 Waiting for rehearsal, actors Devon Schu- macher and Gregg Peterson work for another class.

Walter Ambrosius, who started Debate in a junior high intramural program, found it very educational. “You have to learn how to research well.” He added that he also learned to communicate better through talking, which will help in everyday life. The subject of Walter’s team was “That it be resolved that the Federal Government should provide employment for employable United States citizens who are living in poverty.” To research this, Walter spent a couple of hours a week looking through periodicals and books on the subject. Walter said that, for the opening rounds of a tournament Debating Teams are graded so that only those of comparable standard are matched against each other. In Speech tournaments participants of unequal ability may meet in and after the first round. 60-Fine Arts Jennifer Lynch belonged to a team which took part in the Lincoln Douglass Debate. Their subject changed but the topic remained values. Jennifer started in a junior high intramural program like Walter and had continued because she enjoyed that so much. The only other thing Jennifer had to add to Walter’s statements were that she not only thought Debate helped with learning to be a more persua- sive speaker. Drama classes are another branch of fine arts at Lincoln High. There are several different levels. Drama I, Drama II, and Drama III. Then there’s Advanced Theatre. Drama I an II are for anybody who likes acting, but Drama III and the Advanced Theatre are really only for those who are really serious about acting. Trang Tran, who took Drama I enjoyed it immensely. There were many acting opportunities during the semester.

Fine Arts-61 Cont from pg.60 cise when everybody pretended to be in a bus and had to act out the motions of the bus as it swirved, started, and stopped. Another ex- cercise was done in a pretend ele- vator. The students each picked a card with a way of thinking written on it, such as pessimism. The pre- tend elevator would then break down and each student would act to what their card said. Kathy Witfoth was also in Drama I first semester, but second semester she went into Drama II, which she liked a lot better. For one thing there weren’t any tests or notes in Drama II. Also the students seemed more mature and interested in acting. It started off with improvi- sations, much like the ones in Drama I, but these soon got harder until they became actual scenes from plays. The students were grouped together by Dutch Fichthorn, who taught all drama classes. This group then looked for a scene which would suit their needs. The Drama Club, better known as the Mummers, is another great group for those who like drama, but don’t have time for a class. Dutch Fichthorn was the advisor, Devon Schumacher was president, Steph- anie Ortiz was vice president, Susan Dancing across the stage, Essie practices her steps. Essie was played by Jennifer Holt, who was the Mummer's Secretary. Hirt was the treasurer, Jennifer Holt was the secretary, Emily Jagoda was in charge of publicity and Sherri Spilker was librarian and historian. The dues were one dollar per semester, but for this you could go to the many Mummer parties, which were all a lot of fun. Mummers was also pretty much responsible for putting on Joy Night, and some of the acts also contained Mummer members. The play in the spring was also put on by Mummers, ex- cept that only Mummers could be in it. Not only that, but they had to be Mummers who had earned enough points through attending meetings, trying out for plays, help- ing out backstage during the various productions. The most important thing to remember about Mummers is that one dosen’t have to be in an actual drama class to join, in fact one doesn’t have to be able to act very well. Loan Tran wasn’t in a drama class but joined Mummers anyway, because her friends begged her to. Once there she really enjoyed her- self. She met many new people and learned lots of new things. For Story Theatre she was on Makeup crew and also helped with publicity. All in all fine arts are a Great experience. Discussing Fine Arts. Jennifer Lynch uses her speaking skills in an interview. Jennifer was a sophomore this year. Fine Arts g Productions successful Wide variety participate in shows For this year’s All School Play, a different sort of play was chosen by Director Dutch Fich- thorn. Story Theatre was a play involving different style or type of theatre called “presentation of theatre” whereby the actors don’t tty to hide the fact that it is a play, they often speak and look directly to the audience. It isn’t very realistic, more imaginative, no props are used, there is minimal scenery, and simple costumes. “It’s a very difficult style of theatre to perform,” said Fichthorn, “miming props is really tough.” “I thought it turned out very well though,” he continued, “probably the best All School Play in the last few years.” There were many sophomores and juniors involved who weren’t very experienced in theatre, al- though Fichthorn said, “after a while they really got into it.” Sophomore Mike Rozmarin stated his feelings. “It was a more relaxed, fun sort of play—good for the beginning of the year ...people were very professional in putting it together and memorizing their lines. Each person had to create their own character since there was no certain way the acting was to be done...it was very exciting.” Rozmarin acclaimed most of the actual pulling together of the play to Mr. Fichthorn’s directing talents. “He has a very good way of making sure everybody has their work done.” Joynite celebrated those memorable T.V. moments this year in their version of “The Boob Tube Review.” Randy Nuss played the role of Marlin Perkins in a mockery of the show “Mutual of Omahas Wild Kingdom.” When asked why he wanted to participate in Joynite, Nuss said, “I like acting and want to be in as many productions as possible, but I especially like doing comedy, acting comedy, and writing comedy.” This years Joynite gave many Cont. on page 67 Singing joyously, Devon Schumacher, David Hinkle, Tom Boellstorff, and Paula Yelick enter- tain the audience in “The Brementown Musi- cians.

Susan Morris, who was one of the emcees did a skit with Laurie Fuller and Naomi Nagi about a game show. When asked why she partici- pated, Susan replied, “I wanted to do something crazy and fun my senior year.” “It doesn’t come together until about two days before opening night, you don’t really know how it’s going to be until then...it’s really exciting opening night,” Susan explained, “I thought it was awe- some, the response we got from the people made me happy, they really thought it was funny” Randy Nuss felt it could have been more organized and said, “more people should participate and take advantage of the oppor- tunity because it’s really a fun thing to do.” Thinking about Maria, Dana Cochrane ponders Maria’s problem. Dana played the Mother Abbyss in this year's musical, “The Sound of Music.” For this years musical, Director Joseph Skutchan selected the Rogers and Hammerstein classic “The Sound of Music.” Pat Gaines, who played the leading male role as Capt. Von Trapp, said he went into the pro- duction very uncomfortable. “I didn’t know anything about the musical or about my character...I had to do a lot of thinking, it finally amounted to me writing out a char- acter sketch of Capt. Von Trapp nearly four pages long. I had a lot of difficulty forming my character. It was the biggest challenge for me.” Pat pointed out that acting was just as important as the music in the musical although the music was the emphasis. He said he was also scared with working with such a large cast. “It’s scary because you don’t know if you’re all going to be able to cooperate, you’re away from each other so much, working on separate tasks...Amazingly enough we were able to pull it together and get all the Cont. on page 68 Preparing for the nexl act, fhe Joynite Emcees hold their game show.

For such a large cast it worked very smoothly.” Pat said it took right up to the last minute to get things organized. It was the final week of rehearsal when it finally pulled together and worked. “We were here (at school) sometimes seven days a week. I’d come at eight in the morning and leave at eleven-thirty in the evening. I was also part of the scenery crew.” Pat admits his grades did slip. “Academics came second and sometimes third for a while.” The long rehearsals took their toll on nearly everyone involved. “I didn’t get tired of doing the play,” Pat explained, “but I did get tired in the process.” Mr. Skutchan said he was very tired but very pleased. Pat said the musical was loaded with a very fine cast. “I think Lissy is a very fine actress and a very excellent singer,” he said, “I think Mr. Skutchan is a genius, for one man to organize an entire show is remarkable. He’s an absolute perfectionist. He yells a lot, but he gets the job done. He takes care of, not only the directing of the play, but the directing of the music, the scenery, all the crews...he’s the single guy who takes care of every- thing.” Mrs. Stoehr worked on cos- tumes, Pat explained, “she did an exceptional job that was very essen- tial and very crucial because of all the costume changes.” Pat tried to express his feelings about being in the musical, but words often failed him. “I was elated, it’s a natural high for me like nothing else to perform...It’s during the actual performance I feel the best, I’m actually embarrassed during curtain call. I see people clapping and smiling for the performance and it’s just embarrassing for me-but it’s what I enjoy the most, what makes me the happiest, what brings my spirits up is being out there performing for the audience. The audience was excellent, we had such a big audience all three nights.

Lincoln High School coun- selors can play a major role in these stages of planning. “Going on to continue an education is extremely important,” counselor Alma Howdeshell said of planning a future.” It can also be kind of scary.” Mrs. Howdeshell said first she finds out the student’s “interests, abilities, goals, expectations of life beyond high school, possible em- ployment, and the training available for that employ- ment. “I help students in a whole variety of ways,” she said. “I give students information on colleges, universities, testing dates, employment opportunities, just to name a few,” she said. ‘1 help students with finan- cial aid preparations,” she continued. “I also help fill out college entrance applications.” Mrs. Howdeshell also gives her opinion on the perspective colleges. “I give the student my point of view on the college, and some questions to ask the college representative when he she comes to Lincoln High. I also show what should be known before a student pursues a career or college.” Senior Tammy Parsons has used some of this in- formation available to pur- sue a school career situa- tion, “I am trying to be accepted to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland,” she said. At the academy she would spend her four years in school and then at least five extra years in the Navy. If it is as tough as a mil- itary academy, a private institution, or a state uni- versity, planning a future is very important and should be thought out carefully. Like they say “An education is a terrible thing to waste.” In The People Section: Seniors ........................Pg. 72 Juniors.........................Pg. 102 Sophomores......................Pg- 115 Faculty........................Pg. 128 Searching his files, counselor Ray Henning seeks information for an interested student.

Gregg was this years president Society finds new format In 1984, the purpose of the National Honor Society was revised. In the past, seniors were chosen at the end of five semes ters at Lincoln High. These seniors were chosen as strictly an honor group. This year there was one more restriction put on the members; a service project. The candidates were chosen at the beginning of the senior year, not the middle as before. To be a member, each person had to participate in the service project decided on by the group. According to Gregg Peterson. president of the Lincoln High chapter, the group voted for a one hour minimum of service to be considered an active member. This meant that each candidate would have to do at least one hour of work on any given service project. The Society had two different projects during the holiday season, and hoped to plan more for the spring. They rang bells for the Salvation Army, and also helped in the Salvation Army’s toy drive, collecting toys at lunch and during the day, then donat- ing them to the Salvation Army.

A few students have chose to skip the graduation ceremonies but have nonetheless graduated all the sooner. Maura McLaughlin was one such student. She decided to re- ceive her diploma mid-term. “I wanted to go on to do alot of other things besides go to high school.. .ever since I was a junior I knew I wanted to graduate mid-term.” Maura had decided to move to California to live with her aunt and uncle while working to make money for college. She had planned on going to school in California, so by being a resident of California she’ll have avoided paying the more expensive out of state tuition. “It’ll be fun just knowing I won’t have to go through the I hassle of registering for 2nd sem- ester and just knowing that I’m finally through after first sem- ester.” Snowing th« joy ol gradu- ating early, Becky Sheahan’s eyes glimmer because of her new found freedom.

For others, such as Pam Gall and Craig Bartels, the decision had already been made: the military. In early June, after recovering from graduation, lounging at the pool, working at a summer job, or making preparations for col- lege in the fall, Pam and Craig will already be active in their Basic Training Courses. “I’m really excited,” Pam said, “But when I took my oath 1 thought—God, I just signed eight years of my life away.” After Basics, she plans to re- turn to Lincoln and attend UNL. During the summer, for six weeks, she will be stationed in Fort Ben Harrison, Indiana, for AIT school to train her as a finance specialist. “1 will be active in the Army for two years,” Craig said, “After that I’m sort of ‘on call’ for six years if they need me.” Craig added that it’s nice to know what he’s going to do and is looking forward to the exper- ience, even though he leaves so soon after school gets out.

College catalogs can help the pro cess along. 78-Fuller College seems ideal goal It seems that most students share the common goal of looking forward to going to college after high school, according to some LHS counselors, although not all will go to college. These students worked hard during their high school years to get the grades they need to get into the “college of their choice.” Laurie Fuller is just one such person. She has been accepted at Oberlin college in Ohio. Laurie has always had plans of going to college. “I decided early...if you apply early, you have a better chance of being accepted,” she said. Fuller has made the Honor Roll all three yearsof high school, and she has obviously been rewarded for her efforts. “It was really exciting when I got accepted. I couldn’t wait to tell my friends.” Laurie decided Oberlin was the college for her by visiting the campus, talking wjth friends who have gone there, and talking with some administrators. Dreaming of her future living on the campus of Oberlin, in Ohio, Laurie Fuller looks pleased with herself. Getting into the college of ones choice is often half the battle.

It dealt with a family that escaped to the mountains only to discover a few months later that their town was run by communists. Not only was the movie re- leased for entertainment, but to some, the movie brought out a point. One day, could the com- munists invade America? To Jeff Frederick, a senior, the entertainment value was more important. “I thoughtjt was a good movie,” Jeff said, “It sort-of-worried me, but not that much.” Jeff said he felt that the movie was released at a time when it would have the biggest impact. “It was released during a time of ‘The Day After’ and all the nuclear arms talks,” he said.

Deb said that 70 people were put on the waiting list of the program, then the administrators would “sift-out” the candidates that later said they didn’t want to participate, personal reasons for not entering the program, etc. “The list would be cut down to 25 just before March,” Deb said. “Then in March, I would attend a workshop about the program. The list would then go down to 15. These 15 would be the ones in the program.” Deb said she hoped the 18 month program would help her get into a career dealing with designing album covers, advertise- ments, etc. Proudly showing her sketchbook.

She said the biggest reason for marrying was that she was a foster child, and this was a way out of her life at home. She just wanted to be on her own. Angela explained the living arrangements by saying that she lived in Bennet, Nebraska, about 15 miles from Lincoln. She lives with her husband, another couple, and one other person who is single. There are also three children living there. The children do not belong to Angela and her husband. Angela said that the only bad things about it are the things people say. “People tell me I should have waited,” she said, “I just know that no matter when, I would have married him, whether it was in December or July.” All-in-all, she feels good about the relationship. “He pushes me to stay in school, and it’s really nice to come home to him instead of a family.” Pettit—85 Melissa Pettit David Phillips Johnna Pierce John Pierson Mary Pitcock Debbie Placek Dennis Plachy Tom Pluhacek Lisa Poffenbarger Becky Polivka Valerie Polivka Brian Potter Samuel Pulec Bob Pytco Linda Quarells Joseph Rangel Kayla Rappl Mike Rappl Robin Rathjen Tony Reichwaldt Being advised by her volunteer coordinator, Cindy Wallick tries to de- cide the volunteer work for her.

Every senior who takes the Citizenship Issues class is required to volun- teer 20 hours at a volunteer site. Amy Hudson was a volunteer at Lincoln General Hospital. She worked as a junior volunteer, helping in the gift shop and assist- ing people to their rooms. Amy enjoyed volunteering, she said, “You meet a lot of people and make new friends.” She enjoyed being out in the public, “I feel I’ve benefited from the people I’ve met and worked with. I feel more confident and assertive working with different people.” Cheryl Branigan got real in- volved in her volunteering. She became a ‘Y’ pal. Cheryl com- mited herself to volunteering just more than 20 hours of her time, she’s giving a part of herself to her ‘Y’ pal. “We’ve gone to the park, went shopping and even got pizza once.” Cheryl likes it a lot.

In an effort to alert LHS stu- dents and administration of the litter problem, and to get every one to “Think before you throw”— the student council held the first Can Litter Day on December 12. According to Shelly Loos, member of student council, and Judy Kirsh, council advisor, it was a success. “I think it was successful, for the day,” Kirsh said, “We hope it will carry throughout the year.” Student Council was planning a litter project, but was especially planned by a letter from a con- cerned citizen who wrote a letter to the Lincoln Journal commen- ting on the appearance of the LHS parking lot as she drove by each day. So, even if you aren’t greeted each day by someone with a trash sack—the thought remains to THINK BEFORE YOU THROW!! Overflowing with trash. Lincoln High has had a litter problem this year.

He attended the conference in November. Broman said that he had to send in an application to the Unitarian Church, who sponsors the conference. They read through the applications and chose twenty-six students from all over the nation and one stu- dent from Canada. “1 had to write why I wanted to be there,” said Broman, “and what I had already done about the subject (of disarmament).” He said that the conference also attended a First Committee meeting. At the meeting dele- gates spoke about their views on disarmament. “It (the meeting) was rather boring though,” he said, “be- cause all there was were three different delegates who made speeches, which they just read from some Xeroxed paper.” Aside from the First Com- mittee meeting Broman said that he did learn a lot about dis- armament, the Soviet Union, and the Arms race that he didn’t know before the conference. “I think it (the conference) would be better if it would be longer, if they had more speakers and experts on the subject (of disarmament),” he said. Attending his conference, Andrew Broman found things not up to his expectations. Andrew attended the Fifth Annual Youth Conference on Disarmament at the United Nations in New York.

This has created quite a stir, because it seems to violate a lot of what America stands for. It’s openly considered an outrage by many. Chris Tetherow, a junior at Lincoln High, thinks it’s terrible. “People have personal things in their lockers.” She also feels that it really won’t help with the drug problems as the people Seizure fair? who have this problem aren’t going to leave their supplies in their lockers. The only other illegal objects would be weapons, and why would those be in school lockers anyway? Kevin Morrow, another junior at Lincoln High thinks this law is alright as long as the teacher had adequate reasons for their search. After all isn’t it for the person’s own good? If a teacher is just malicious, he would probably search anyway, law or no law. Searching someones locker, Cathy Knight looks for evidence With the new law, teachers have the power to search and seize. _____________________I Julie Ellis Michelle Engler Ken Ennen Marci Ennen Kristie Enyeart Shannon Erdman Kim Erwin Robert Farber Diana Farr Rick Ferris Nick Fessler Luana Fiehtner Cheryl Finley Tom Finn Tim Folden Suzy Fordham Patty Fox Randy Fox Amy Frame Andy Frederick Christine Fuller Mark Fullerton Heith Fulmer Michelle Gagner Jo Ann Galitz Domingo Garriott Victor Gehrig Scott Genthe Michelle Gerstenschlager Alison Gibson Chris Gies Shelly Gillette Tanya Gillming Kelly Glancy Ted Gleason Richard Goemann Sujata Gokhale John Gonzalez Samantha Good son Shelly Goosman Kandi Gordon Todd Gossard Gossard—103 Dawn Goucher Rodd Gourdin Tom Graf Julie Greenlee Toni Greggs Jim Gregory Paul Gregory Donna Gropp Koren Gross Bryan Guem Bill Gushard Steve Gushard Gaye Hairl Allen Hall Lisa Hall Charlie Hamersky Cindy Hansen Elizabeth Hansen Susie Hansen Jim Hardesty David Hargrove Jeff Harris Jane Harvey Scott Hawco Laurie Haynes Walter Hays Shan Heath Renae Hellerich Tia Helter Kimberly Henderson Jennifer Heng Ken Hergenrader Teresa Herman Todd Hermann Wendy Herron Lisa Hildenbrand Jeff Hill Trudie Hingst Susan Hirt Mike Hixson Gary Hlavac Chad Holdsworth Student time a balance act I A busy life, Lizzy DeGrazia was a very involved junior. She was a Pomalink, in Swing Choir, and Con- cert Choir, just to name a few. I--------------------------- Some students today seem to be busier than ever, what with keeping up in academic work, jobs, extra curricular activities, and of course, social time. Lissy DeGrazia was a portrait of one such student. As a junior, her time was well managed and as well it must be. Some activities on her agenda included, a job working at the Closet in Gateway, Pomalinks, Varsity Swing Choir, Concert Choir, dance, a voice class at UNL, the lead role in the musical, school, as well as finding time to go out with buddies. How did Lissy find time for all this? “You have to be very organized and willing to shift your time around,” says DeGrazia, “and you get five hours of sleep.” “You have to decide what is the most important to you and spend a little time doing each thing. Right now I want to do a wide variety of things.” “If one chooses this sort of lifestyle one must enjoy it,” DeGrazia said. “I’m a very independent and active person. I have to be doing something constantly. I can’t just sit around and watch T.V....I enjoy being out and around with people and I think high school is the perfect time to do this.” 104—Goucher David Holliday Jill Hollinger Don Holman Amber Hoover Jim Horn Chris Hornby Trey Hoster Brenda Hotovy Scott Hoyt Donna Hulinsky David Humphrey Gary Hunt Louis Hunt Randy Hunzeker Tri Huynh Teri Hyatt Tod Ihde Jim Jackson Susie Jacobsen Emily Jagoda Matt Jellum Kris Jenkins Brenda John Joe Johns Kelly Johnson Richard Johnston Ron Johnston Darrell Jones Robbie Jones Theresa Jones Candace Jordan Jeff Jorge ns Chris Jouvenat Patricia Juarez Victor Juarez Brenda Kalnins Sheryl Kane Douglas Kennedy Pai King Jeff Kirk Sally Kirsch Tracy Klawonn Klawonn—105 Denise Klimes Stacey Knopp Alan Kokes Kippard Koll Tom Koperski David Krogman Cathy Kubicek Lois Kubkka Shane Kuehn Christina Lacey David Lacey Shane Lair Amp Laohmung Dan Lautenbach Viet Le Tina Lederer Amy Lee Robert Lee Troy Leffler Bill Lemay Nhadine Leung Monique Lewis Tam Ligenza Kim Lillie Sean Lingard Burt Lintt Lynette Little Angela Lock man Debbie Lococo Juli Loftin Hodge Lorenzen Kara Lostroh Dale Lovlace Cindy Luben Mark Lyne Curt Lyons Bruce Madison Brenda Mainelli Tim Majorins Nora Mam Tim Marc hand Mitch Markussen the bell wires. Student Council President Shelly Loos prepares for music, imagine having music instead of bells during passing time. Pass to the sound of music You’re sitting in class, your head hurts, and you’re starving. You look at the clock. The bell is going to ring in about five seconds so you hurriedly reach under your desk. But just as you pull your books out the bell rings and everyone tramples out of the room leaving you at your desk in a state of shock. Now, look at this scene again, but instead of the piercing trill of the bell put in some nice soothing music. Well next year you may not need to imagine this. It is now being seriously considered. The music would last the full five minutes of passing time and would be different every period. According to Shelly Loos, the student council president, the music can be completely con- trolled electronically. The major expenses would be putting intercom speakers in the halls and bathrooms and also piping the music throughout the school. Shelly felt that the music would ease tension and build respons- ibility in the students. 106—Klimes f inishing her snack, Heide Treijs takes a break before going home.

Peggy has had her tail since the end of her sophomore year. I------------------------- Tails bring in new fashion In the 1984 Links yearbook one would see Peggy Carpen- ter with long hair. In the 1985 yearbook one sees Peggy with short hair—except in the back. Peggy is one of the people that had a tail this year. Peggy said she decided to have a tail for many reasons. “1 just wanted to be different,” she said, ‘‘One reason is because no one else had one.” She also said she was senti- mental to her long hair, ‘i had long hair for so long, I just could- n’t let it all go, so 1 just cut out a tail,” she said, “I didn’t like conventional hairstyles, with a permanent or curling irons or blow dryers.” Peggy said she has gotten mostly positive comments about her tail, but she feels people tend to assume things about her be- cause of her tail. Would Peggy ever cut it off? “NO,” she said, “It is part of my philosophical being!” Kevin Morrow Mike Morrow Linda Mueller Dixie Munson Lisa Munsterman Wayne Musgrove Jim Myers Clint Nagel Jill Nalezinek Diane Nalley Mark Neal Todd Neeley Karl Neemann Ted Nennemann Lynn Newman Greg Nguyen Robert Nicholas Robert Nicholson Ericka Nielsen Randy Nootz Tod Nothnagel Troy Novak Dawnette Nungesser Mike Ogden Denise Olsen Michael Olson Tom Olston Bonnie O’Malley Kevin Omel Ann Osborne Lynette Ottens Michelle Outz Lisa Paa Frank Paskochi Pam Patel Jackie Patterson Dale Patton Curtis Paul Jody Pavlish Amy Pence Pat Perez Tricia Peterson 108—Morrow Don Peterson DeAnna Petrzilka Jimmy Pettiford Pam Pierce Tim Pierce Lewis Plachy Kathy Ponte Laura Pope Craig Pounds Julie Prange Dawn Preis Elizabeth Price Shaun Province David Prue Leon Raney Dolores Rangel John Rapp Dianne Ratzsloff Lyndon Reddick Cristi Reed Christi Reid Darin Reinke Paul Remmengg Tina Remter Troy Rettig Steve Rexroth Michele Reynolds Amy Rezny Dan Richards Leslie Richards Chuck Ricketts Richard Ricketts Rick Riggins Cindy Robinson Tony Robinson Kim Roby Robert Robza Sherry Rogers Jodi Ross April Roth Chris Rozmarin Connie Rutt Rutt—109 Amazed by the escapade.

Students will be required to enroll in at least six classes all three years of high school. The actual time classes last will be extended also, to possibly 60 minutes. There have been mixed re- sponses to the decision. “It doesn’t bother me. I’ve been taking a full schedule both my years of high school,” says junior Keith Miller. But with students required to take that many classes, classes will be more crowded since a lot of students don’t take a full schedule of classes. Miller explained, “Classes are full right now, some are long enough as it is for what little they have to say.” Miller felt a lot of class time at present is not used constructively as it is, so why add to the amount of time if it won’t be used. He felt the extra time would be unnecessary, especially for some students. “I don’t think a lot of kids will like it, especially those with jobs... It may even cause a higher drop out rate.” “For some kids it would make it a harder day for them. For those who like school and want to get more out of it, it will be better.” Keith Miller expresses his opinion The question of “where will the hours go?” was on many peoples' minds this year. I Tisdale—111 Being twins, life can be tough for Mike and Melvin Burbach. Or is it Melvin and Mike? I__________________________ Twins can be confusing Being a twin may have one drawback that is not very obvious. That unobvious draw- back is to continually be asked “What is it like to be a twin?” Melvin and Mike Burbach are both juniors at Lincoln High who are identical twins. Both brothers said that they do share some of the same classes, friends, and interests. Both participate in baseball, football, and in Prep Jazz band. But, then again, many siblings or even good friends sometimes share the same interests and friends. “People always ask me what it is like being a twin,” Melvin said, “It’s like me asking them what it’s like ‘not’ being a twin.” He said that people, even their family get their names confused at times. He usually even answers if someone calls him Mike. But he doesn’t think that he and Mike are that much alike. “I don’t know, it’s (being called Melvin) happened for so long, it doesn’t matter,” said Mike. “I just never think about it.” Susan Tomlinson Scott Tontegode Craig Toombs Binh Tran Khanh Tran Tracy Travis Heide Treiis Annette Truax Scott Trombley TuAn Tu Jenny Tubbs Kendra Tubbs Danny Tucker Angie Turner Petrina Turner Wendy Tussing Doug Vance An VanTran Don VanT ran Julie Verbeek Paula Vilda Florine Villarreal Laurere Villarreal Jon Virus Terry Vogeltanz Phong Vu Matt Waechter Melissa Waechter Kim Waggoner Kathy Wait Greg Walker Adam Wall Carolyn Wanek Kevin Warren Scott Warren Steven Washam Andrea Weber Matt Wehrwein Kim Welch Tammy Wells Jeff Wenzl Angie Westlund 112—Tomlinson Showing everyone that she received a good check up at the dentist, Jodi Ross flashes that sparkling smile.

Has it gone too far downhill? This was a question faced by many sopho- mores as they went into the basketball season this year. Sophomore Nancy Boswell was one such case. She feels pep club is not dead, that there is a lot of enthusiasm. She feels that to get a lot out of Pep club, “You really need to dedicate yourself.” She also said, “For some people, pep club is too much work. So, they just quit after football season. We expect to lose people after foot- ball.” To keep interest the pep club tried to organize activities to get the club and the school involved. “We did ‘Good Night Knights’ at the Southeast basketball game,” she said, “We also did ‘Spirit Week’ for everyone in the school to dress up, be comfortable, and to show their school spirit.” Why did Nancy stick with it? “It’s fun,” she said, “And I want to be a Pomalink.” Showing how fun Pep Club can be. Nancy Boswell is really enthusiastic. Dedication and hard work help keep the spirit alive.

Three Sophomore English classes participated in a rotation this year. The new English 10 Rotation This year, for the first time, there was a rotation which took place in three English 10 classes. During the first semester the rotation consisted of units with Deb McGinn (Drama), Carolyn Goodwin (short stories and poetry), and Curt Ratliff (the novel). The teachers had six weeks in turn with each of the three classes. For the second semester this changed. Miss McGinn left the rotation, so that she could teach those who had discontinued the rotation, and also to give the two remaining teachers longer rotation periods of nine weeks each. There were varied opinions about the rotation. Christy Steider thought that there wasn’t always enough time. “You couldn’t get to know your teachers and their different ideas.” She also felt that not all the rotation periods were the same length, causing pressures in certain units. She liked it much better second semester, with more time in each unit. Deb McGinn, who started teaching at Lincoln High this past year, said the rotation had helped her adapt to change and she was able to strengthen her drama unit by teaching it so many times. However, she felt she needed more stability and continuity as did many of her students. 116—Coles Taking a break from his studies, Paul Campbell displays his school spirit.

One of these foreign students was named Janet Nielson. Janet came from Solrod Strand, Denmark, and her stay lasted from August 12, 1984, to June 24, 1985. She stayed with Scott Steele, a junior at Lincoln High School, and his family. Janet said she financed her trip by working. At first she wanted to go to England for a month, but her parents said they didn’t have enough money. She then found out about a trip to America for a whole year. She got a job to pay for the trip and her parents paid for her spending money. Janet said she has been treated very well in America. She has “funny friends” and had a real good time in America. As of her family, she feels like “I’m being treated like a daughter. I just don’t want to leave,” she said. Showing off that Dutch smile, Janet Nielson shows how she feels about her visit in America.

For Lincoln High Sophomores that experience happened only last fall. Sophomore Greg Hackbarth said that he had visited the school with the Goodrich Swing Choir before he actually attended here. “I was worried about getting lost,” said Hackbarth. “But, it (attending Lincoln High) was exciting.” He said that he came to school an hour early on the first day to get his class schedule. He met with a group of his friends and they walked around the school building so they could find their classes before they started. “The only time I actually got lost was when I had to find my schedule,” he said. All in all, Lincoln High is a confusing building. For a newcomer, such as a sophomore, it takes either a lot of preparing, or some time of being lost to get through that first day. Forgetting the last directions. Sophomore Joel Maynard stands in utter confusion. The first day at Lincoln High can be confusing.

Shelly Franklin, a sophomore, said she used the center when she had a problem with a class. “I needed help with Algebra 3-4, and when my problem couldn’t be solved the first time, more teachers were called in to help. It helped me a lot,” she said. She said that Math is the main subject she used it for, but she would have used it for whatever subject she was having trouble in. When asked about how she went about using the center, she said she just walked in after school. Shelly said that lots of people use the Tutoring Center. She also said that when she was helping a friend with work she would send them to the Tutoring Center if she couldn’t help them. All-in-all the center has been very beneficial to a lot of people,” she said. Amazed at the wonders of learning, Roger Davies, Sally Kirsch, and Susan Hirt gather in the tutoring center to share that special moment.

Margaret attended the discussion on teen suicide at the Lucky Lady. Discussing suicide essential Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among Amer- ican teenagers today, and society is taking steps to help eliminate suicide and promote a better awareness of the problem. Some of those steps included organizing group discussions on the topic to promote a better understanding among people about suicide, so hopefully they will know more about how to handle the crisis when and if in that situation. The Lucky Lady held one such discussion by which a couple of psychologists led the discussion. Senior Becky Routh and junior Margaret Scott attended the discussion. “I felt like I walked away telling them something...everybody there already knew what they said at the Lucky Lady.” The suicide discussion didn’t go very well at the LL, however there was a much more organ ized and helpful discussion held at Goodrich junior high that covered a lot more aspects in the problem of suicide. Parents of people who com- mitted suicide as well as people who actually tried to commit suicide attended. It was well publicized and a lot of parents and kids were there to make a good, sharing informative discus- sion. 124—Radke Getting emotional at this swim meet, Robert Lyons looks as though he may be shedding a few tears.

Someday he hopefully will be on the street driving for real. Sophomores and Driving Vickie Hummer has a car, a license, and has taken Driver Education. She felt having a license gave her much more freedom—“You can go wherever you want, whenever you want.” Even though there are new ex- penses and new responsibilities she felt it was worth it. Kelli Kraft who has taken Driver Education believed that it helped her a lot. It gave her some experience behind the wheel and helped her with learn- ing the rules and regulations. Her only criticism of Driver Education was that the class was too crowded and not long enough. Mike Arroyo, who has also taken Driver Education said it helped him with the driving laws and gave him experience; but he also felt there weren’t enough driving instructors. Loan Tran, who hasn’t taken Driver Education and who doesn’t have a license, felt that Driver Education would give people more driving experience. “Driving would mean more in- dependence and more job opportunities.” She felt that the disadvantages of there being so many qualified drivers are that there will be more drivers on the road, more pollution, more accidents.

Hirt Teacher goes beyond limit Last summer, Curt Ratliff, one of Lincoln High’s more enthusiastic English teachers when it comes to English liter- ature, attended the seminars at the “Teachers Shakespearian Institute” in Washington D.C. The seminars included an intense study of four Shakespear- ian plays. Activities included lectures by visiting scholars, skits by professional actors, acting training, and teachers from all over the country sharing new methods of instruction. “Every type of school imagin able was there, there was an awful lot of good input and new ways to offer students successful experiences to turn kids on to good literature,” Ratliff said. Teachers from all over shared new developments in the material as well as new approaches in teaching methods that could be replicated easily by others. The overall goal was to im- prove personal teaching skills by sharing positive approaches to the subject matter, Ratliff ex- plained. “I’ve learned lots of new stuff, and new ways of working with students,” said Ratliff, “It was great, it was one of the best professional training experiences I’ve had.” “I’ve been able to incorporate the innovative instruction ideas that were offered as ways to teach Shakespearian plays into my teaching of other content of British literature.” It was an action taken to keep the humanities classes alive. “It reaffirmed my faith that there are a lot of good things happening in education and a lot of good teachers who are working hard to make education even better.” Hirt-129 Agnes Hoepker Jann Howard Alma Howdesheli Karen Howland Kay Hovermale Joan HuHer Darrell Hute Rachel Janney Jean Jiracek Alden Johnson Linda Johnson-Flowerday Susan Johnston Charles Jones Karen Jones William Jordan Rose Kastl William Kechely Judy Keller Judith Kirsch June Klein Cathy Knight Eric Knoll Rosalie Kotwas Alice Kruse Ruth Kupfer Jim Lafollette Carole Leever Dianne Leggiardro Displaying their love for math and a math teacher, Laurie Fuller and Naomi Nagy show Patience Fisher how much they care.

There were mixed views about her speech. Reagan speaks to LHS On Wednesday, October 24, 1984, a very influential person visited, and spoke to Lincoln High Students. The daughter of President Ronald Reagan, Maureen, was at Lincoln High to speak on the gender gaD. Ms. Reagan came to Lincoln High because of an interest in having Republicans, Democrats, and Independents come to Lincoln High. Ms. Reagan spoke mainly on the gender gap, saying, one of the main problems political women face, is that they are relatively new to the political scene. She also said that for 15 years women have been trying to become involved in politics, and now that that has happened, no one had told them what to do. Ms. Reagan, also gave encouragement to students interested in getting involved with government, Ms. Reagan, who began to get involved in politics at the age of 19, encouraged involvement as a way to pay back society for all that has been taken. This includes taking advan- tage of the right to vote. She ended her speech by encouraging students to have faith in themselves, and in the future. She told students they must realize that one day, all the advice will end. One day, all the assemblies, the teachers, the parents’ guidance will be behind, and it is time to take the next generation’s turn at society.

His resignation will not be in effect until the end of the 1984 1985 school year. Clough said that the reason he resigned was because of the chemistry between himself and the school board was such that they couldn’t accomplish very much for the schools. In February, Clough wasn’t exactly sure of what his next career position would be. His possibilities did include becoming a superintendent of another district. He was also considering something in management out- side of the school system. “I’m just taking a look at jobs in private business,” said Clough. Clough’s career as the Lincoln superintendent was an extremely short one considering that the two previous superintendents reigned for 15 to 17 years. Clough served as superintendent for approximately two years. He did not know who would replace him. As of February the search had just begun. Happy by his decision, Roger Clough smiles in thinking ol his future. Clough served as Supenntendent for approximately two years.

Cer- tain classes can be taken to prepare students for their future education or occu- pation. Mike Morris, a senior, said he planned on going into law someday. He took Physics, Vocabulary Build- ing, and Speed Reading. As he said, “I hoped to increase my reading speed and my vocabulary. I’ll need the extra vocabulary for law school.” Another class classified as “college-preparatory” is Advanced Composition. Mr. Eli Zietz, who teaches other English classes on top of Advanced Composi- tion, said he tries to teach “Discipline of Learning” to his students. Mr. Zietz said that in college, students are not in class everyday, with a teacher looking down their backs. So, he teaches them to organize their time to be able to study better for college classes. “A couple ways of doing this is,” he said, “I give a schedule of the class to each student in hopes of them some day making their own.” I also try not to give too many hand outs. Rather I have the students write information down themselves. I feel that just writing this information down is the first step to learning it.” Mike Wittstruck, another senior, plans to be an elec- trician someday. “I’ve taken Advanced Vocational Elec- tronics,” Mike said, “As well as Physics and Pre- cal.” Mike even went so far as to join the Army Reserve to get money to start his journey through college. These are just a few of the many classes offered at Lincoln High to provide a simulation of a student’s future college environment.

Academics—135 Culture and heritage abounds at Lincoln High Celebrate our Heritage Day This year for the first time there was a Cele- brate Our Heritage day at Lincoln High. The event started with an assembly in the gym during second period, March 6, 1985. After a showing of flags from dif- ferent countries of the world, it was time for the Folk dancers. The group contained six, all of whom were wearing authentic costumes from different countries. They did four dances, from Israel, Ireland, Greece and Russia. Next was Jazz and Blues. The principle instruments used were Xylophone, Bass and Drums. Classical guitar was used now and then. Then there was an informative lecture, mainly on the African history of Jazz. After the assembly, people were to go to their first class on their schedule. These schedules generally contained only some of the classes students had signed up for the week before. Often, as with many of the cooking classes, too many people had signed up for a particular class, and had to accept an alternative. Many students felt this was unfair; some people got more than one cooking class, while others got none and were assigned classes in which they had no interest. Sau Tran also felt that the cooking classes were very good but wished she had received more of the classes she had signed up for. Even so, she enjoyed learning about different cultures and lifestyles. One major point of policy she would have changed was absenteeism. She felt that students who skipped class were dealt with too lenient- ly. “Some classes had hardly anyone in them,” she ex- plained. Sau was not alone in this opinion. Shawn Perry also felt that the unexcused absentee students were let off too lightly. Generally Shawn felt that Celebrate Our Heritage Day was, “Odd, but a nice change of pace.” Kelli Kraft liked the change in the daily routine as well and felt, “We possibly learned some- thing new.” Her favorite class was “Japanese Labor,” in which she learned about the differ- ences in Japanese busi- nesses.

Thornton took a variety of computer classes at Lincoln High. Using the English department’s new computer, Don Bilyeu gets an assignment done for a class. Computers weren’t found ir, just the Math department. Distracted from his studies, Rick Wittstruck looks to the window for guidance. Wittstruck was a sophomore science student. Balancing his fork, Don Robertus displays his talents. Crazy events were always sure to occur in the Science or Math rooms. 138-Math Science New science and math images being made Math, science past and present Most people are victims of cultural stereotypes and as a result are not recognized for their talents and even discouraged to pursue them. Women have pre- dominently been the target of such unfair social stigmas. America is a male dominated society, just look in the history books. Few women have been recog- nized for their accom- plishments, or their accomplishments were hidden behind those of men. History books are filled with the accomlishments of men, even more so in the fields of math and science. In fact, it was a woman who first had a hand in processing computer pro- gramming, Lady Ada Byron Lovelace born in 1815. As with many women through- out history here accom- plishments were hidden behind those of a man, Charles Babbage, who, in the mid twentieth century was known as the father of modern computers. Ada became very weak and ill, and Babbage had acclaimed this to her involvement in mathematics. It was be- lieved that math was just too strenuous on the female brain. It turned out that Ada had died from a brain tumor, not because her “weak female brain” couldn’t handle math. According to Lincoln High School Math teacher Patience Fisher, it is no wonder then that today women are suppressed more so in the fields of math and science, because of silly social stigmas that must be overcome. From a very young age, girls and boys are treated differently. As a result girls have developed a negative additude towards math and science. In recent years , however, a lot of research has been going on in this area, and Mrs. Fisher is a forerunner here at Lincoln High in collecting the information researched and putting the information to use to make people more aware of the problem. “I think Mrs. Fisher has really done a lot for Lincoln High women in math and computers. She’s so personable , she really gets excited about helping you,” said senior math club member Laurie Fuller. “She also gives you someone to look up to...she’s really a smart woman who has accomplished a lot.” Mrs. Fisher feels very strongly about equal oppor- tunity and is working in pursuit of it. She believes work is needed by everyone in changing the environ- mental factors which are barriers to the full realiza- tion of the potential of women and girls, particulary parents and teachers.

Math Science-139 Educational values are a part of music, art Classes more important More and more students are realizing the edu- cational value of the elective courses. Importance of the course for the student is being noticed by the stu- dent. “Students take courses in the Music Department because they realize it’s important for them,” Mr. Terry Rush commented. He also pointed out that “Music has infinite possibilities.” Wherever you turn, music is right there. Whether you’re watching t.v., listen- ing to the radio, or riding in an elevator, music is always present. “It gives kids some place to show their talents. It’s something they can take with them all their lives,” added Mr. Rush. Students take music courses for a variety of reasons. Some because they are extremely musi- cally inclined, that have a talent they wish to express and , thus get a relief from studies. It also breaks away from studies. For every student, there is a reason, some values behind the decision to enroll in the class. “There is no other activ- ity other than music, be it vocal, or instrumental where a very large group of people working a long time for a common goal,” con- cluded Mr. Rush. In the Art Department, a variety of things went on. Mr. Sedlacek comments that there was a variety of projects to do in the Art Department. There were many opportunities to create and achieve individually. The students competed against themselves and doing what they can to improve. “There are so many right answers in art,” added Mr. George Sedlacek. “The student balances his schedule from using their academic side to using the creative side. They use the heart and soul to create rather than the rational brain.” One goal in the Art Department was to have the student look closer at their everyday environ- ment. To make people aware that they can create to stir emotions and make it appeal to the public.

Being bored in French class, Laurie Fuller and Susan Wilson seem to do it pretty well. French is a very important language if you want to go to France or Canada. Many differences occured this past year Things new in Language Boredom, what a wonderous thing it is. For if one had to go without it when would one read the Lincoln High Course Offer- ing Book? And if they didn’t do that, then how on Earth would one be able to read those terrific course de- scriptions from the English and Foreign Language departments. However, there were some changes that went on this past year. Deb McGinn began her teaching career as an English 10 instructor and was also part of the marvelous rotation. McGinn was not the only new teacher. Ping Wang came here from China during second semester. In China she had taught English in the middle school attached to Peking Uni- versity. There were several differences noticed about the education system here. In China one has to pass a rigorous test to go on to the next grade. They also have to pass an even tougher test to go to the University, but if they do pass the tuition is only about three dollars. Also in China the lunch break is about two hours long, including a nap time, but their classes are fifty minutes long, like ours, and there are general- ly six periods in a school day. One more new thing was that this past year, for the first time in the history of Lincoln High, the English department had a com- puter. On this computer could be written composi- tions, essays and anything else one would wish to write. Foreign Languages are hardly ever talked about, especially in the Course Offerings Book, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to be said about them. First of all the lan- guages which have been available here at Lincoln High are Spanish, French, and German. All of these can be taken through the fifth year. This means one could have taken it all through junior high and still be able to take it right through high school. One could always switch lan- guages, for instance they have had German for two years and then decided they would prefer to take Span- ish instead. All that needed to be done was sign up for Spanish and start from the beginning. Foreign lan- guages could also help those who intend to go on to college, as it is now required to have four years of lan- guage to graduate from an Arts and Sciences Uni- versity. If one wants to travel, languages are a necessity. They also gave opportunities to travel. There is a Spanish trip nearly every summer, and one could always be a Foreign Exchange student. 142-Foreign Language English Waiting to begin, Deb McGinn’s Sophomore English class stands ready and waiting.

Foreign Language English-143 Major sources of help Instuctional Resources and counselors together The library is one, if not ‘the’ pulse of the school. Not only do students come in and out all day of their own free will but, classes and conferences are held, students visit with repre- sentatives from colleges, and there are many other uses for the library as well. Marj Sawin, who was in charge of the print area, said that there were three main reasons that students went to the library. Students came in for study time, information on research projects, and leisure reading. “I think we are getting even more kids in for leisure reading,” she said. Counselors also used the library. Sawin said that the balconies were used for regis- tration for three weeks this year. Registration was not the only thing that counselors were responsible for, said Ray Henning, counselor. They helped students with personal problems, schedule changes, information on colleges, and just information in general. “The best way we can help students is for them to come in to talk to us,” said Henning. Along with the registra- tion and other uses of the library there were special uses for the library, such as the library’s J section. “The J section consists of material that is at, or below Junior High reading levels,” said Sawin. “We’re real pleased with the use of our J sections,” she said. “It’s used by students of average or above average reading abilities also.” She said that the section was used by art students who were studying English as a second language, students who needed research material, as well as those students who were at below average reading levels. Some students that also used the J section were the MR students, said Sawin. She said that most of the students came in every two weeks and at least once a month. Terri Ourada, teacher, said that there were 72 MR students at Lincoln High. Ourada was also the coordi- nater of the Special Olympics. She set up programs for the students and made sure the students had current physi- cals, parent permission forms, practices, and sport activities. Ourada organized such activities as bowling in Janu- ary, swimming in February, basketball in March, track in April, and state games. Ourada said that the kids that participated had a lot to give. They were always striving for improvement and appreci- ated everything one could do for them. The senior placement courses were to help students with career decisions. Stu- dents were able to explore career opportunities such as by ‘shadowing’ a person in one of their career interests. They were also taught favor- able aspects that an employer looks for in an employee. She said that the purpose was to improve a student’s chances in finding a job in a career that they are comfort- able with and will enjoy. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to place them in jobs by show- ing them what employers look for in employees,” said Ourada, “and teach them some helpful job skills.” Extremely surprised, Danae Svoboda and Melody Shafer get their grades from Mr Henn- ing.

Success is affected by some classes What’s needed in America Look at American Society today. Like many countries America has three social classes; upper, middle, and lower. However, unlike most countries, America has a dream, which says everyone is born equal and with a chance of succeeding at whatever they do. In the past this hasn’t been very true, but it seems to be improving slowly. This has caused a greater need for business knowledge as that is what all jobs include at some point and also a need for greater understanding of the way people think and act. The Business Depart- ment at Lincoln High is around to help fill the need for business education. Bill Meyers, head of the depart- ment felt that good math and organizational skills are very important. Now all the computer technology, typ- ing, word processing, and other basic computer skills will be very useful and neces- sary in the future. The Business Department only had four computers this year; two IBM’s and two APPLES. So there were only short units of Com- puter related business taught in classes. They were used especially in Account- ing, to do problem solving, record management, pay- roll and taxes. The typing classes also used the com- puters for keyboard typing. Next year twelve more computers will be added, making it possible for longer units. Social Studies is a very important subject which is useful in day to day lives. Lincoln High’s Social Studies Department has many classes which help people get along with others. Sociology and Psychology are two which really help with under- standing why people do what they do and why they do it. Citizenship Issues is also very important as it teaches about the govern- ment and how to be a better citizen. “We’re doing great things,” said Ross Tegeler, head of the Social Studies Department. “We’re trying to re-focus a little bit,” he added in reference to a new study skills unit which helped students learn how to write essays and other papers. There were ten faculty members, one of whom was new, Susan Pierce, and one who also taught German, Terrell Hanshew. Social Studies Business-147 Elective courses more than just ‘time-fillers’ Students getting involved Many people think of electives as “time- fillers” or easy classes. In reality, at LHS these courses are of essential educational value. They teach students valuable skills. Mr. Uhrmacher’s draft- ing class is one such course. In the class his students use creativity along with math and geometry. Many differ- ent dimensions and figures require mathematical skills. The student also enjoy the classes. “It’s not as structured as most courses are,” added Mr. Uhr- macher, “each student works at their own pace on a drawing.” One new addition in the drafting courses was a computer. It helped visual- ize the plans of a drawing, but as with all things, it wasn’t perfect. “There is a problem in the software, it just quits in the middle of a drawing,” but besides the difficulties, it worked for its purpose. Another class that taught students to use their hands was in the Home Economics department. Mrs. Kay Sayre taught in the department and said “The students choose these courses for practical uses.” Every kind of student could take courses in the department. This year more young males took classes in the department. “Men need the skills and knowl- edge as well as women,” Mrs. Sayre said, “Both sexes are working now and everyone should have that common knowledge.” The Home Economic department touched all aspects of a persons life, getting along with people in relationships, skills, deci- sion making, and communi- cation. The teachers really enjoyed teaching the courses, because there were so many areas to choose from in the de- partment. Physical Education is quickly becoming real important to the American life-style. Being physically fit and in condition was its new goal. Physical Education teacher Janet Bates enjoys teaching the courses. She said, “The classes are elec- tive, but people usually have one of two things in mind when they sign-up for them. Either they’re really inter- ested in the course, its something they want to do and are willing to put the effort into it, or they are filling their physical educa- tion requirement.” In the classes students learn new things. From new ways of stretching, skill and coordination to flexibility and agility.

He started what he called “A study hall”. His “study hall” consisted of his wrestlers studying in an organized environment either on Wednesday or for two hours before a meet. “My Sociology back- ground played a big part in my decision to start my study hall,” said Coach Christie. “I feel that coaches are very influential people, and my wrestlers listen to me. Maybe more than a normal teacher.” Mr. Christie said he felt that “Athletics and educa- tion are not in tune,” mean- ing more stress should be on education rather than sports. He saw his wrestlers not studying because of sports. “When you’ve got a meet at 5:00,” he said, “You don’t do your homework before the meet, and the meet getting over at 10:00, the wrestlers were too tired to do homework.” Coach Christie has seen good improvement in his wrestlers. “They have time to do their homework so they do better in class,” he said, “They know they have to pass the class to be elig- ible for wrestling, so they become more attentive because they do better.” Kelly Miller, a junior wrestler, also sees the im- provement. “It feels like an accomplishment having your homework done be- fore the meet. Then during the meet, you feel no pres- sure, you wrestle better, and when you get home, sleep better,” he said. Mr. Christie feels he has really done a good thing. He said he is trying to bring academics and sports closer together, and this is just one idea to accomplish that goal. He feels that bet ter students make better wrestlers, especially if they decide to go on to college.

A once in a lifetime opportunity In the summer of 1984, Americans were treated to a very special event. The summer Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles, California and some Lincoln High students, as well as faculty were fortunate enough to be able to attend. Mike Thompson, a junior, said his family was visiting friends and relatives in San Diego. “My friends decided to call and get some tickets. We saw the USA-Spain and Egypt Australia basketball games. We got to see some of the wrestling, we even had front row seats for some of the track events. We saw Edwin Moses win the 200 meter hurdles, and Carl Lewis in the long jump.” Matt Hoffman, a senior, saw the Olympics from a different point of view. “My uncle sells T-shirts in California, so I was helping him sell at the Olympics. The only event I saw was the wheelchair races. I didn’t think they could move that fast.” Faculty-wise, Cross Country coach, Bob White, attended the Olympics. “We were on a vacation visiting my parents and decided to go because this was a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity. The only events we saw were track.” Mr. White had a special relationship with the Olympics: His father was an official at some of the track events. Mr. White felt that the Olympics went well except for all the people. “There were so many people running around, it was awfully cramped. The fashions were strange, but the colors of the fashions were beautiful. All of Los Angeles was beautiful for the Games.” Mike agreed with Mr. White saying, “The fashions were really weird, people were really wearing some weird stuff compared to the Americans.” Matt said he even had an experience personally with an athlete. “A British athlete came in to my uncle’s store looking for a USA t-shirt. That’s all he wanted, was a USA t-shirt. There really weren’t any problems with athletes, though.” All of these guys felt it was an experience they would never forget. Mike said it was much better seeing it in person rather than in the living room watching it on the television. Matt was really glad he had the experience as he got to spend time with some relatives, see some of the sights of Los Angeles and the rest of California, plus take in a little of the Olympic games. Mr. White seemed to sum it all up by reflecting on the trip saying that for most, “the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles were a spectacular event! This was a once-in-a lifetime event.” Preparing to start, the bikers take their warm-up lap. There were many different kinds of biking events at the games.

Football I-Formation works better Changes don’t live up to bad expectations Lincoln High football took on a new look this year. First, they continued the old winning tradition going to a 6-3 record and second, for the first year, Lincoln High ran out of the I-formation, the same basic offense as the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Varsity Coach Harold Simpson said there were some basic reasons they went to the 1-formation, “Because we felt we had the right people for the right positions, and we weren’t getting enough out of them in the veer.” Coach Simpson and the other football coaches spent some time with the Com- husker coaches studying the I-formation and how it would work for Lincoln High. While looking at the 1, Coach Simpson heard of some disadvantages the for- mation could bring to a team. One of these was that because the I-back is seven yards off the line of scrimage, the linemen would have to hold their blocks that much longer. This turned out not to be so. “With the I, our linemen only had four rules that stayed the same no matter what, Simpson said, “In the veer we were having to make decisions on the line of scrimage. It turned out a lot better. “The biggest thing we had to teach was technique,” Coach Simpson said. “We did have one thing different. Nebraska runs out of the same ‘set’ every time. We decided to switch every once in awhile so the opposing team did not know exactly what were were going to do. So the linemen were taught to block the same way every time, none of the changing at the line of scrimmage like before.” Coach Simpson also found that the blockers only had to open a crease for the I-back to get through. The I-back, Cordell Simms, agreed with Coach Simpson and added his views of the I “It gave me a lot more options as to where to go. 1 was able to read my blocks a lot better. Where in the veer offense, I had a play to run and I had to run it there almost no matter what.” Coach Simpson said he felt that the only way to have a good, winning football team, was to have a good running game. “We didn’t have the speed to get outside.” Simpson said, “but after using the I for awhile, we found it did not take much for the lineman to open that little hole for the back to squeeze through.” Of course a good offense does not make the entire team. There also has to be some defense. Eric Smith, a junior on the defense, will be back again next year. “I think we will improve a lot next year. We’ve got a lot of people moving,” Eric said, “And we should have lot of speed and strength to help with our pass rush.” The Sophomores and Reserves went to the I-formation also. The sophomores ended with a 2-6 record, while the reserves went on to a 4-4 record. As coach Simpson said, “They were very close to going 6-2 and winning the city championship.” 154—Football Varsity Football (front row) B. Whitcomb, R. Loos, P. Haar, C. Jensen, K. Burbach, T.

Football-157 Volleyball “State” included in goals Volleyball season mixed with emotions High hopes, courage, and a great team effort was what it took for volleyball this season. Coach Lana Peterson said, “We started out very strong, and we had a lot of goals to accomplish.” Some of those goals were to be top rated in State, to win the Lincoln Public Schools Invitational, to win Districts, and go to State. Out of those only one wasn’t accom- plished. The team ended the season rated third in the state. They fell one game short of their goal. The most important goal for Volleyball this season was to win State. The girls talked about it all season long. Coach Peterson said, “We really anticipated going to State. I’m glad we got to participate, it was a good experience and I wanted the girls to succeed.” Although the team made it to the quarter finals at State, it was not their best game. Coach Peterson said, “I feel that the girls were really worked-up at State, wanting to play for the fans, the school and themselves. They were overwhelmed by the turnout of the school. We had some outstanding support. The problem was that they just overplayed themselves.” Despite a bit of disappointment, the team had some outstanding players. Each player on the team had her own specialities and was valuable in her own way. One such player was Susie Hansen. She was one of the top three in many categories. Susie was a good blocker and had many school records this season.

Volleyball—159 Gymnastics Team shows its stuff Gymnastics team captures many titles Despite the many injuries, the gymnastics team, went on to an excellent season. Coach Mark Shearer said, “We had an excellent season considering the hand, back, and knee injuries all season long.” Although they had many injuries, and tough competition, the team didn’t let that bother them. They captured title after title, including City Championships, Trans-Ne- braska, their first District title, and first in the State. Coach Shearer explained, “We had a very good season. Everyone was able to do the job they had to do and come out ahead. The team worked close together and had a good team effort. There was a certain chemistry between everyone.” Lots of good effort came from Darrel Watermeier. Darrel qualified all-around for Districts and State. At State, Darrel won seven medals out of seven events. He won a gold medal for all-around and vault. He also had the highest score of 9.7 on the vault at State. Another qualifier at State was a freshman on the team. Daryl Lindholm attended Everett Junior High, and was the second leading all-arounder. He qualified to State on pommel horse, rings, and high bar. Girls’ gymnastics team had a very good season also. Coach Shearer said, “They showed an improvement, and should be stronger next year despite the loss of two seniors.” The team went into the State finals in third place and came out number one. Coach Shearer said, “They had a chance at State and everyone worked very hard toward that common goal. It really paid off for the entire team, they had a lot going for them, and they made it work.” The gymnastics team ended their season in the number one spot, with a record of the boys’ team 5—1, and the girls’ team of 3-4.

Pioneers was also a favorite practice place for coach White—he could follow the runners in his car! 162—Cross Country Cross Country Runners Meet High Goals Individuals and teams end successfully “'T'he toughest part of running is mental, 1. not physical.” Those are the words of coach Bob White, whose girls team placed 2nd in this years State Meet and whose boys team fell points short of qualifying. “This was the best boys team we’ve had since ’63,” White said, “and our girls team was the best ever!” Both teams proved to be mentally tough as well as physically strong. While covering nearly 650 miles of country the runners weren’t affected by factors which could have caused mental breakdowns: a new course at Pioneers Park, two-a-day prac- tices during the heat of August, snow at the State Meet, and sprained ankles. Team goals were set high this year. The main goal for the girls team was to be in the top 5 at state. They even went past this goal to finish second. According to White, the success of the girls team was due to their spirit—they had an exceptional desire to win. The boys goal was to stay in the top half of each meet. Individual goals varied. “To be the best 1 could be,” senior Sara Korte said, “and to make it to the State Meet.” For senior and newcomer, Denise Cla- ridge, the goals set were different. “My goal was to finish the season. It was a challenge,” she said. For some. Cross Country was a way to prepare for other sports. “My goal was to contribute to the team as much as I could,” senior Albert Maxey said, “And it was a way to build endurance and keep in shape for basketball.” Both teams were young this season, but if things go as well as they look on paper, the Links Cross Country teams will be even stronger next year. Cross Country—163 Boys’ Tennis Team keeps good attitude Strength and experience will help team What do eight sophomores, one junior, and one auto-shop teacher make? Give up? Well, that’s the Lincolr High boys tennis team. Even though the team didn’t win a whole lot of matches, Coach Dennis Weixelmar comments, “I think they have real gooc potential.” Dan Schafer enthusiastically added “We’ll play better next year since we’re such a young team. I’m looking forward tc the next season.” Brian Schmidt felt similar, “By the time we’re seniors we’ll get better and bring a name to the Lincoln High tennis team.” This was the year for the team to play tennis on a more competitive level, since a majority of the players have never played competitive tennis before. “It was a time to get a feel of things,” as Jeff Omberger put it. And practice really did help the team “get a feel of things.” Generally there was an outstanding attitude among the players. Coach Weixelman said they accomplishec a lot during practice. “We had a real gooc season practice-wise...1 feel you should gc full speed in practice for as long as you car go and the kids really came a lone way...they hit the ball a lot better towards the end of the season.” Practice consisted mainly of hitting drills, and match play. Coach Weixelmar organized some good practices, “He was really patient with us,” Lincoln Blackmar said. But, equally as important, the team gol to know one another better, which helpec them work more as a team. For Jeff Yost the one junior on the team, the highlight ol the season was “getting to know new people and making friends.” Lincolr continued, “We got to be close.” Getting along with one’s teammates is an important factor in team sports, in- cluding good sportsmanship. Lincoln explained, “Even though we lost, we still had a good attitude.” Practicing his forehand, Lincoln Blackman prepares his game for the next meet. Lincoln had a good season, being no. 1 seed. Following through, Jeff Yost finishes his backhand. Jeff was one of the only Junior members this year. 164—Boys’ Tennis — Boy Tennis (from row) S. Swenson, J. Ohmberger, B. Schmidt, (back row) J.

Boys’ Tennis—165 Posing with upperclassmen John Tidball and Scott Steele, freshman swimmer Charlie Hammer (center) takes a break from a busy workout. Hammer swam at the State meet in the 400 freestyle relay. Winter feature New freshmen play major role Swimming, Cross Country, Gymnastics see benefits A change was made this year that greatly affected sports teams here at Lincoln High School. The 1984-1985 season was the first season that freshman athletes were allowed to participate in high school athletics. Two of these freshmen participated on the swim team. Jodi Wanek and Charlie Hammer both were ninth graders of Good- rich Jr. High School. Jodi said she went out for Lincoln High Swimming to better the image of Goodrich. “It would be good for our school,” she said, “It could give other students something to base their goals Jodi, who swam the 100 Butterfly and the 100 Backstroke said at first she was afraid the older swimmers wouldn’t like her because she was a freshman. “As they got to know me, they treated me real well,” she said. Charlie said he went out because he needed a change from swimming for Nebraska Aquatics. Charlie was basically a freestyle swimmer, swimming the 200 free and 500 free. Charlie said he was also scared at first about being treated bad. “I was never able to shake that feeling of being a freshman,” he said, “But by the end of the season I think most of my teammates liked me. He also said his coach treated him just like another swimmer. “He always made sure I had a ride,” Charlie said. Heidi Tussing, another freshman, ran cross country in the fall. She said she ran because there was more competition in high school. She felt she was treated like a high school team member. This was the season that opened the door for the freshmen. Charlie and Jodi both qualified for the State swim meet, while Heidi helped the Lincoln High girls Cross Country team to a State Runner-up title. 166-Winter Feature On their marks, these swimmers swim a practice relay. Competing against each other was a part of practice. Getting ready for a flip turn, freshman Charlie Hammer swims in the 500 freestyle at the State Meet. Hammer was one of the freshmen to compete in varsity athletics at Lincoln High. Pausing for a short break, Jody Wanek and Wendy Cowan get ready for their next laps. Jody was a freshman from Goodrich Jr. High School. Stretching before practice, some of the freshmen tracksters spend time with team mates. There were quite a few freshmen on the track team. Winter Feature-167 Varsity Basketball Winning was team effort Varsity sees good times Steve Wise, a senior, said that the Boys Varsity Basketball team’s finest moment this year was that the team made it to the district finals. He also said that everyone on the team helped to take them there. “Everybody really contributes, but in different ways,” said Wise. “But, at the beginning of the year there used to be a lot of arguing.” Todd Rychecky, a junior, agreed that earlier in the year there was some tension between the team members. But some people did contribute to keeping the team together. ‘Td like to congratulate Aldie Johnson, the team’s coach, on keeping a team together that could have easily fallen apart,” he said. Rychecky also said that senior Albert Maxey deserved some credit for keeping the team a team, “He’s (Maxey) a team leader,” he said. “He’s always got every- thing under control.” Both players said that one of the best parts of playing on the team was just playing basketball, “Playing in the games, it’s just fun playing,” Wise said. But it was not all just fun and games they said. Practices took a lot of work, and there were a lot of practices. “You have your off days,” said Rychecky, “in practices, and in games.” The members of the Girls Varsity Basketball team certainly knew how prac- tices and games could go. The girls team won the Holiday Tourney, District A-l Tourmanent, and were Runners-Up in the State Tournament. They only saw defeat three times this year. Varsity Boys Basketball (front row) S.

McWilliams Tracy Lightbody, a senior, said that their first loss, against Southeast, was awakening. “It made us realize that we could be defeated,” said Lightbody. “but it made us work harder.” Lisa Hunter, a senior, agreed with Lightbody that their win over Central in the State Finals was the highlight of the season. She also said that their loss to Omaha Marian in the final game was the biggest disappointment. “We knew they had some- thing uncontrollable,” said Hunter, “like 6’3 Jeanine Kardell.” One thing the Girls team could say was that they didn’t rely on any one player, said Lightbody. “Everybody on our team has started (a game),” she said. “There’s no one person that we rely on.” Hunter said that was true, the team was a ‘team’ effort. Both Hunter and Lightbody had similar reasons for being on the team. Hunter said she enjoyed recieving all the attention and publicity. She did say that she would also miss the relationships when she doesn’t return to high school next year. “I’ll miss playing basketball, or just going to high school,” she said. “But mostly the relationships, because I get along with everybody, so far so good.” Lightbody said that she will also miss not being on the team next year. “I’m going to miss being part of a team because there was kind of a unity between the team,” she said. “There’s really not a next year to look forward to.” BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL Coach: Alden Johnson OPP LHS 57 58 Columbus 59 71 Omaha Westsid 59 66 Fremont 72 85 Norfolk 67 76 Winnetonka 75 68 ...............Blur Springs 71 63 Lincoln Academy 59 35 North Platte 49 60 Northeast 77 71 Omaha South 56 80 Northwest 61 80 ...............Lincoln East 61 80 Northwest 67 56 Kearney 75 71 Grand Island 70 51 Southeast 53 51 Papillion 53 70 Omaha North 74 65 Beatrice 57 52 Northeast 65 61 Pius X 65 83 East Record 10 11 Giving the team advice, Coach Aldie Johnson offers words ol wisdom to his players.

Overall both the girls and boys teams did well. “The boys had probably the best record, excluding 1977, in the last 30 years,” according to the Boys Reserve Basketball coach Mr. Zuspan. The team record was 11-4. On the other side of the court, the Girls Reserve Basketball team played better than the record revealed. “We’d outscore our opponents by a large margin when we’d win and when we lost, it was usually by only one or two points,” according to the girls team coach Deb VanDusen, “I’m happy with the season although I felt we could have done better and won some of the closer games.” Zuspan acclaimed much of the boys teams success to practicing with the Varsity experience team every night. “I think this year, the togetherness, the comradeship, that developed with the players helped them to be successful. I know I enjoyed working with them, they worked hard. We accomplished every goal we set except for probably the city championship.” Reserve Basketball gave many people the chance to play basketball whether it was in preparation for the varsity team or just to have fun and enjoy the spirit of being involved in sports. As coach VanDusen expressed, “To have a good varsity team you need to have a good reserve team.” Both Margarite Scott and John McWilliams, juniors, agree, there were a lot of good players this year who will probably make the Varsity teams next year, and continue the trend of success.

We came a long way from our first practice to the end of the season,” commented Sophomore Girls’ Basketball Coach Alex Czeranko. And that’s just what they did. Coming into Lincoln High School from various junior highs and the different coaches was quite a different experience for these girls. Each junior high had its own program and method of teaching the game. Coach Czeranko wanted to get the girls together and teach them the game of basketball. His goal was to blend all the techniques together and put the team on its way to a good season. Another goal was to “Get them all together, working as a team.” The girls came to a realization that they can do anything they set out to do. “They needed to be positive about them- selves and the game and that’s what they did,” said Coach Czeranko. When asked how he felt about teaching the girls, coach Czeranko commented, “I enjoyed teaching the girls and watching them work together as a team. It was really self-satisfying, to help them grow and learn, physically as well as mentally.” Their season was pretty successful. They had a 5-3 record in the city and went on to take the City Sophomore Champi- onship. The reason? “They had confidence on their side and were self-assured that they could make it happen.” The boys didn’t have as successful a season as the paper saw it, but as far as working hard, having a good time, and never giving up hope, the boys basketball team had a great season. Coach Muggy added, “There was talent, the boys made new friends, were very disciplined and were very successful.” Sophomore Basketball-173 Raising his arms for victory, John Tidball shows his happiness after seeing his time.

Cotter said that swimming was an “individual” and “non-spectator sport.” Not many people come to a swim meet because it’s sort of hard to be involved in as spectators. Senior Chris Wing said that a swimmer is pretty isolated during a race. A swimmer has to do a lot of concentrating. “If I don’t concentrate on my technique, I fantasize about being Super-Man,” he said. Wing said that the highlight of the season was their win over Millard South. That was their first meet of the year and one of the Millard South swimmers was a previous state champion. Scott Steele, a junior, said that the team did get along pretty well with each other. He also said that he wished there was some more support for swimming. Wing said that he, like the rest of the team, was glad the team did well. But, he did have another, more personal goal: “To have the sexiest swim suit on the team.” Boys’ Swimming, (front row) D.

The team had a great year, in fact the second best wrestling team score-wise in the history of Lincoln High according to Perez. A lot of the team’s success was due to the good coaching and hard practice. “We had two outstanding coaches, Mr. Thomas Christie and Bill Selman,” said Perez, “Selman wrestled for UNL so he taught us some of the newer moves.” “We practiced them hard,” said coach Christie, “and three days a week we met in my room to study.” Christie felt education must come first.“I’m a teacher before I’m a coach so that’s my first priority, making sure kids have a good education. Perez said he felt the study sessions helped the team to feel more like a a family, more unified, and in turn helped the team to be more successful. But practice was very hard and also had much to do with the teams success. “We lived and died practice and conditioning,” replied Perez, “We did a lot of running and worked more on technique this year. We were in the best shape in state.” Coach Christie said he looked forward to the team maybe doing even better at state next year, “I think they have even more potential in them and can try to do even better, I know they have it in them.” Reserve Wrestling (front row) D.Chandler, B.Smidt, R.Zimmerman, (second row) Coach Bill Selman, T.Buckner, J.Ohmberger, J.Hand, S.

Wrestling-177 178—Ads Ads support LINKS Business reasons vary Each year, to support the annual LINKS, the LINKS staff offers Lin- coln businesses the oppor- tunity to advertise in the Lincoln High Yearbook. Under the direction of the business manager, the staff sells portions of pages dur- ing the summer. Once the school year starts, the bus- iness manager then sells the remaining advertise- ments. Each of these businesses have their own personal reasons for advertising in the LINKS. Mildred Dickson, from Community Saving Stamps, thinks that the reason they advertise is tradition, “We’ve always advertised in the past, and we see no reason to stop now.” She went on to say that people may not have heard of Community Savings Stamps before and it’s a lit- tle name recognition. Ron Anderson, from the Lincoln School of Com- merce, sees advertising from more of a business point of view. “We are a post-secon- dary institution, and adver- tising helps people recog- nize us when admission representatives go to schools around town and throughout the state. The students are able to see our name in print so when these representatives are at that particular school, they say ‘I’ve heard that name before.” Mrs. Kaufman, from Kaufman’s Furniture, said they advertise because both her and her husband are graduates from Lincoln High, so they are a bit “sentimental” towards Lincoln High activities. Mrs. Kaufman went on to say that she also felt that they got a bit of name recognition when parents looked through their child’s yearbook. The LINKS wishes to thank all of the businesses that choose to advertise with us this year, whatever their reasons. In The Ads Section: In The Advertising Section, the Advertisers are not categorized into any specific order. Some businesses chose to be on specific pages, others simply decide on portions of pages. These ads help make The LINKS the lowest priced yearbook in the state. Bowling for fun, students can go to Classic Lanes for some nighttime day time fun. Classic Lanes is at 4901N 57.

The price of the books began at $13 and went up to $18 by the end of the year. The cover, designed by the staff, features an enlargement of an actual heartbeat and hand lettering. The type used throughout the book was a variation of Souvenir Medium and Bold. Headlines were set in 24 and 30 point Souvenir and Bold. Kickers were set in 18 point Souvenir Bold. Body copy was set in 10, 11, and 12 point Souvenir Medium, and captions were set in 9 point Souvenir Medium and Bold. Page numbers were 11 point Souvenir Medium. The typesetting was done by PSAB and Tyler Type Service. Layout design had alternating column widths for each section. Opening, Closing, and division pages used a two column design, while Student Life, People, Organ- izations, and Sports all used a three column design. Academics used a four column design. The color of the heartbeat and first let- ter of each division page was in Cherry Red. The LINKS is a member of the Nebraska High School Press Association, the National Scholas- tic Press Association, the Colum- bia Scholastic Press Association, and Quill and Scroll. Index-217 Gorb v i £ The world—in one year, things have changed quite a The Soviet Union has a new Premiere, Mikhail Gor bachev. Indira Ghandi was assassinated and the United States enjoyed extensive victory in the Summer Olympics. Closer to home, a woman ran for Vice-President of the United States, and the farm crises worsened. Looking desolute, this Nebraska farm looks A big change, Gorbachev succeded the ill gray; the farm crisis took its toll on many Chernenko after Chernenko's death. Relations Nebraska farms this year. between USA-USSR were changing also. 218-Closing ■) «• Triumphs sparkle Disappointments of year shall dim “As I look back on this year, it’s kind of been a mix of triumphs and, in some cases, tragedies.” These are the words of Miss Judith Roderick, a social studies teacher at Lincoln High. Miss Roderick was asked for her reflections on what happened in the news during the 1984-85 school year. The 1984 Presidential election was inspiring—Geral- dine Ferraro was the first woman in history to run for Vice-President of the United States. But the disap- pointment came when only 52 percent of the registered voters actually went to the polls. Another event Miss Roderick found to be triumphant was the Summer Olympics. She believed that it may have been good that the Soviet Union didn’t partici- pate—it gave the U.S. a chance to be very patriotic. Miss Roderick said that, as she watched on television, the crowds’ reaction to the nation was inspiring. The hunger situation in Africa was another big issue for the year. Miss Roderick noted that a major part of Africa’s population could be lost to hunger. It’s good that there was concern enough to try to help. “This is a stressful time in which to live,” Miss Roderick notes, but she feels thankful that she lives in this society. Because, though the United States has its problems, “it’s still the best of all societies.” Closing-219 New wing planned Image should get better and better Buildings can do one thing that birds can’t—“grow” new wings. Lincoln General Hospital, Southeast High School and Bryan Memorial Hospital all grew a new wing in the past year. Next year, it’s Lincoln High’s turn. After working under poor conditions for years, the industrial arts department will finally get the extra room and better facilities it needs. “I feel almost guilty about my working conditions,” Mr. Thomas Christie said. Mr. Christie was comparing his room in the social studies department to those of the industrial arts. The extra space will be well-used because, though re-districting was supposed to lower enrollment, the initial enrollment totals at least 100 more students for the ’85-’86 school year. Mr. Dick Patterson saw this increased enrollment as a direct link to the “increasing positive image with the community.” Mr. Patterson, a LHS counselor, attri- buted this growing positive image to the gains that each department had made throughout this year, and each small gain adds up to a big gain for the school. Mr. Christie saw these “significant moves toward excellence in the classroom” and hoped that this would not be lost with the longer school day and more rigorous program that faces the students and teachers next year. Lincoln High—this year its been proven that Lincoln High is still “a good place to be.” 220-Closing The School—Lincoln High is a different place than what it was in September, 1984. The image of a school full of hoodlums has fallen away—Lincoln High is an academic school. But, it wasn’t just an academic shcool. Athletics, arts and forensics flourished inside the ever changing, supporting walls of Lincoln High. Changing to music. Shelly Loos shows the A cramped space, the Graphics Department wires that control the bells. Mr. Ross Tegeler had inadequate facilities this year. With the new made a proposal this year to change the bells to addition, this will change, music. Closing-221 v-------------------------------;----------------- The faces of the school say it all—There were ' happy moments, sorrowful ones and times for reflection. But, these faces also showed that the f students of Lincoln High are Full of Life. Finally leaving. Deb Placek and Gregg Peter- son make their way to their cars. Deb and Gregg were working late on the yearbook. Loving the Links, Kent Lightbody and his school mates show their support ol the girls basketball team at the State tournament. Signs and painted faces were many ways students showed school spirit. Going crazy, Jennifer Thornton and Dianne Leggiardro seek counseling with each other. Some students found that counselors were also their friends. 222-Closing Kazooing happily. Ray Fallstead and Harold Simpson play in the Kazoo Band. The Kazoo Band was just one o( those great stunts teachers pulled at pep rallies. Perching in the corner cupboard, John Tidball shows the world that pterodactyls are people too. Tidball discovered that acting like a prehistoric bird could relieve tension. Promoting five bands, Dana Cochrane tries to lure audiences with her smile. Student in- volvement in social benefits was often fulfilled. Soaring for new heights, Gretchen Zwetzig tries by way of a tennis net. Gretchen agrees with Tidball, mimicking a bird, whether it be prehistoric or not, was a good way to relieve the tensions of life. Lowering himself to the level of his friends, Devon Schumacher is happy to get his picture taken with Melissa Miller. High school was a good opportunity to make interesting friends.

He kept everyone on our staff laughing, and when he died, crying. The lives he touched were just that much more special. Victor was special to a lot of people. Besides being a writer on the LINKS staff, he was a member of French club, Mum- mers, and the Nebraska Council of Youth. He also wrote poetry, one of which is presented in cooperation with his family. Victor was planning to be the editor of the 1985-86 LINKS. Before his death, he was developing ideas for this book, as well as next year’s. Because of this, we, the LINKS staff of 1985, would like to dedicate this book to Victor Day Jr., a very unique person. Fluttering softly, your fickle heart was meant to stop right from the start. Barely balanced, a porcelain doll, your soul out on exhibition, the audience held enthralled. Your honor was beyond dispute, but when judgement came your heart stood mute I’m sorry if I left you caught The crumbled dreams, for which you’d fought.

Students and teachers views on cheating differ Slowly one student moves his test to the left side of his desk. Next, he shifts his body so that he's sitting sideways in the desk. It appears that he's just getting comfortable in this desk. At the same time the student behind him is also getting comfor- table. By the time that both students are comfortable the second one has a clear view of the other's paper. In another class a girl in continual- ly scratching her ankle. While she's taking care of an itch she's also looking at the answers she's written on her shoe. A boy in the same class in being fashionable by wearing his sunglasses inside. While it may be avant-garde it is also a way to disguise cheating. With his dark sunglasses he's free to look at the answers on his neighbors paper without the teacher noticing. Are the scenes described above really happening at Lincoln High? According to Jill Hollinger, a junior, they are. I think cheating is a major way of life at Lincoln High, Hollinger said. LeEtta Sprackling, science teacher, disagreed. Sprackling said she doens't see a large amount of cheating in her classes, but she said that may be because of what she teaches. It's hard to cheat on a chemistry test, Sprackling said. She said that she tries to prevent cheating by placing students far apart on test days and by giving them different tests. According to Sally Roper, math teacher, cheating is a problem, but she said, it always has been. Roper cited pressure to success as a reason that students cheat. There's so much emphasis on grades and college that some students feel it's the only way to make it, Roper said. Jim Foote, a senior, also said that pressure to get high grades is a reason people cheat. Pressure for grades is one of the biggest incentives to cheat, Foote said. Senior Naomi Nagy said that the pressure to get good grades exists, and causes people to cheat. She said that the pressure comes from parents, friends, and teachers. Hollinger described cheating as kind of a game between teachers and students. “A lot of the time they see me cheating and they give me a stern look, but by the fourth or fifth time, they're still giving me a stern look, Hollinger said. Nagy said that some teachers do other things while the class is taking a test and don't pay attention to classroom activities. Both Nagy and Foote said that teachers are harsh when they know students are cheating, and lenient when they can't prove it. According to Roper, it's hard to decide if a student is cheating. I feel that kids are basically honest, she said. I feel sorry for the kid that feels they must cheat, Roper said. They’re the loser. Hollinger explained that the stu- dent who cheats doesn't always lose out. Even in cheating you still learn, Hollinger said. Nagy echoed Hollinger. If you're smart enough to get away with it you're learning something, Nagy said. Foote said he didn't belive it was possible to cheat and still learn. He explained that cheating isn't an alternative to studying. Nagy also said that cheating can be easy. She said that some students aren't suspected by teachers and therefore get away with cheating. The students said that looking over a person's shoulder to see answers and wearing dark sunglasses to see answers without a teacher detecting cheating are methods used by students. Writing answers on a desk, using crib notes, and whispering were also named. Cheating is a way out of study- ing, Foote said. He said that people Aduocate Sr. Edition, May 17, 1985 4 are too bored or too lazy and don't study and then cheat. Hollinger said that procrastina- tion is a reason that many students cheat. Nagy said that sometimes there are more important things to do than studying. She offered sleep as one activity that is important to her. Corey Layman, a sophomore, said that not studying for a test is a weak excuse to cheat. It's your responsibility to make the time to study, Layman said. According to Hollinger. cheating is easy if a person knows how to cheat. Some people are too obvious, she said. Copying off another per- son's paper in class is too obvious she said. —(tyltatfaf The students listed wearing dark sunglasses so that a teacher can't see a student's eyes, and using notes as ways of cheating. Copying an old research paper and looking off another person's paper were listed too. Students can also look at the teacher's answers if the teacher keeps the test answers on their desk. by Becky Boswell Cheating exists outside of school Although students may not consider cheating as something that occurs outside school, forms of cheating do exist in the “adult world. Webster's defines cheat as to defraud by trickery, especially in business, cards, etc. Besides using crib notes, peeking at another person's paper, stealing answers, going through a red light, stealing towels from a motel room, shoplifting, and tax fraud can also be con- sidered cheating. Enforcement of rules which govern fraud and cheating fall under many organizations. Other than the various law enforcement agencies, such organizations as the Better Business Bureau, the Game and Parks Service, and the In- ternal Revenue Service also govern cheating. Recently, the theft of cable service has become a crime. Lincoln Cablevision has joined the Crime Preven- tion Service in their ongoing audit system. According to Terry Santo of Cablevision. over $500 million a year are lost nationally to cable theft. This includes illegal hookups, tampering with hookups, and illegal connec- tions to cable lines. As of April 1985. Santo said that 365 calls have been made reporting illegal cable use. Santo said that existing cable crimes do hurt, “just like shoplifting. Law Enforcement agencies are the groups most con- cerned with catching “cheaters. According to the Lin- coln Police Department, Lincolnites received 5,791 tickets for speeding and 1.414 for running red lights in 1984: almost 16 and four a day, respectively. Lt. Jerry Smith said that cheating could be a continua- tion of life after high school. Any violation of the law could be considered cheating, Smith said. If anyone ignores rules and viola- tions, they very well could continue in later life. Not only do traffic violations get one in trouble with the law. cheating on taxes also violates certain laws. Tax preparer Pat Misner believes that taking certain liberties is widespread. I think that everybody has some sort of tax break which may or may not be legal if the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) found out, Misner said. I imagine that there's so many people that the IRS would never catch up with them, she continued. She explained that because there are so many tax loopholes for corporations and businesses, the average wage-earner pays the brunt of the nation’s taxes. Without him, she said, the revenue system would fall flat on its face. Large corporations investing in foreign countries to build factories and plants, she said, is an example of a tax write-off that businesses have over the wage-earner. As long as the federal government allows, they're just going to take advantage of it. The government could do an awful lot to curtail corporate tax advantages.” she said. There are a lot of coporations that don't pay a dime, she added. The salary earners are the people who are forced to pay the build of taxes, she said. The only people that pay are the wage-earners. There's no choice in the matter. I don't know what the fair system is. Misner said that while the tax laws were confusing, one would benefit by understanding them. If you're smart enough, you can figure out what all their laws and rules mean, then you'll probably get a tax break.” However, she disapproved of deliberate tax fraud and cheating. There's nothing good about cheating. If you lie about one thing, you have to lie about other things, Misner said. “It's a rebellious act, really. Corporations and individuals can cheat not only on taxes, but in other business ventures as well. The Better Business Bureau exists to keep them in check. The BBB is a non-profit, non-government organization that pro- motes honesty in business and the principles of the free enterprise system. They give information, mediate disputes, and conduct investigations on corporations. According to Marge Thomssen of the Lincoln Bureau, the BBB has better than 85 per cent rate in resolving complaints. Still, with many dsputes resolved, “the nastiness continues. Thbmssen said. She said that the Lincoln BBB recieves an average of 125 complaints per month and gives an average of 1.800 reports about businesses to inquiring consumers. Their most popular inquiry, she said, are about insurance and mail-order companies. These companies, not all. have a past record of un- satisfactory business dealings. According to a recent BBB report on advertising specialty product promotions, some misuses of mail order selling are faulty merchan- dise. promising a free gift (either non-existent or not what promised), hidden costs in handling, fraudulent contests, or misuses of the collect of delivery option. The days of selling land in Florida or the Brooklyn Bridge may be over but, we (the BBB) can spare some disapointment, she said. When the BBB gives information, they give past records of dealings and a rating that the BBB has given them. They leave it up to the consumer to decide whether or not to do business with that company. Their goal, she said, is to be objective. We're here as in favor of the customer as in the com- pany. We work very hard to be objective. Thomssen said. by Rick Riggins Advocate Sr. Edition, May 17,1985 5 'P'HMK “Up Where We Belong” — Prom Sheets, Schriner crowned royalty Tammy Schriner and Bill Sheets were crowned Prom Queen and King, respectively, at Lincoln High’s Junior Senior Prom.

The Lincoln High Sports Booster Club Advocate Sr. Edition, May 17, 1985 Teacher salaries rise Linco the new coin Edul Board o‘ cent, the pay over quested ii The (UEA) and the Lincoln Board of Education have been negotiating since early February for a new contract. After 25 meetings, LEA presented the agrce-upon contract to Lin- coln teachers at an LEA meeting on May 9. According to Toss Tegeler, member of the LEA Board of Directors and the negotiating committee, some new additions to the contract are the LEA is the exclusive representative of Lincoln teachers, excused leave with pay for catastrophic illness, and seniority defined as length of stay in same school district. When the groups first met, the board off- ered a 5.5 per cent increase in pay, no fringe benefits, no guaranteed planning time, and an unguaranteed limit of a seven hour, forty-five minutes school day, LEA Executive Director Peggy Shafer reported. Now Lincoln teachers have a 6.5 per cent a guaranteed seven-and- 3l day, guaranteed plan- inge benefits, jtes getting teachers what lethods of negotiation the “We couldn’t have gotten for the future had we not did,’ he said. Shafer ex- plained that the negotiation committee was very honest with the board in its needs. However, at the May 9 meeting, many teachers expressed concern over Legislative Bill 994 requiring teachers to remain in shcool a 10 per cent longer time for only 6.5 per cent more pay. “I can’t make in on 6.5 per cent,” one teacher said. “I think that they could have afforded to give us more money,” Tegeler said. In the forum part of the meeting, Lincoln High music teacher Robert Olmstead ex- pressed his views. “I appreciate the work you’ve (the negotiating committee) put in, but I’m sorry, I can’t buy it.” The new' contract will be ineffect for the 1985-86, 1986-87 school years and the LEA and the board of Education should meet in February of 1987 to discuss further. Students march for nuke freeze Approximately 115 Lincoln High students, staff members, and people in the community marched to the state capital and around the capital in what Margaret Carpenter, an organizer of the event, called a protest in favor of nucelar freeze and against the MX missile. According to Carpenter, a junior, the march was intended to make people aware that there is concern about the arms race. “We wanted to protest the MX missile in Nebraska, the expense of a nuclear arms race, and the escalation of it under the Reagan Administration,” Carpenter said. Carpenter said she was expecting 100 people to join in the march and was surpris- ed by the number of people that marched and by the “incredibly different types of NEARL Y 150 LINCOLN High students march- ed to the capital to urge their Senators to pass the Nuclear Freeze Resolution in the Nebraska State Legislature. The resolution passed the following week. people” that participated. Carpenter credited the high turnout to people having an interest in the arms race, but being hesitant to take action on their own. “A lot of people are concerned, but won’t do it on their own,” she said. Carpenter said that education about the arms race was one of the goals of the march. “The main thing we need to do for the cause is educate people that don’t know about the MX missile and the arms race. Pomalinks win Canada trip Brenda Brehm and Vicki Shoemaker will be packing their bags for Canada. The LHS students will be performing drill team routines with 40 other girls from the U.S. in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick this sum- mer. To be selected for the Canada trip, ap- plications were sent to the American Drill Team School in Dallas. These applications contained a resume of past records, grade- point averages, activities, pictures, and let- ters of recommendation said Brehm, a senior. Each candidate must also have at- tended a drill team clinic during the past summer. The girls will leave for Dallas June 20. They will stay overnight and leave for Canada the next day. The will return to Lincoln July 13. English teacher Eli Zietz will attend a month long seminar studying New Englad writers. Zietz was awarded $1.700 to cover ht expenses. Award allows Zietz to study Lincoln High English teacher Eli Zietz has been informed that he has been ac- cepted to a four-week seminar entitled “The Romantic Imagination in New England” at Oberlin College from July 22 to August 16. The seminar is a discussion-oriented study of four New England authors, Hawthorne, Stowe, Thoreau, and Dickin- son, he said. Hawathorne and Thoreau are in the LHS English curriculum. Zietz called it an open discussion focusing on inter- pretations of the four authors. In addition to discussion, he will be required to help in presentation and write several papers dur- ing the seminar, he said. “I consider myself a student first,” Zietz said. He added that the will use what he learns at the seminar in his classes next year. “I enjoy talking about the things that I learn,” he said. He said he will receive a $1,700 stipend to cover expenses from the National Endow- ment for the Humanities, the sponsors of the seminar. “To say the least, it’s one of the most wonderful things that’s ever happened in my life,” he said. Zietz said he considers the choice prestigious and himself quite lucky. Ninety-eight teachers applied for the seminar from across the country and fifteen were chosen. NSI members named; nine to attend Nine Lincoln High students were selected to attend the Nebraska Scholars’ Institute this summer at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln campus. According to LHS Gifted Student Facilitator, Sue Cain, the program “promotes academic excellence and in- terest” beyond the classroom. The students choose one major subject of study from four categories which are: the social sciences, math and sciences, communica- tion, and the integrated arts. The students participating are: Coralette Damme, Samantha Goodson, Beth Hansen, Susan Hirt, Emily Jagoda, Amy Lee, Nhadine Leung, Lynette Little, and Anita Sarata.

Senior Devon Schumacher said he is in the Dramatic Interpretation for Serious Prose Literature event. Each competitior chooses their material from plays, novels, or short stories, he said. Schumacher chose Billy Bishop Goes to War, written by John Gray. “It is about a World War II fighter pilot who learns the true meaning of war,” said Schumacher. He said he will act out the pans of four characters for ten minutes from a cut of the play. Each competitor qualifies at the national qualifing tournament which is the state districts meet, Schumacher said. The top two in the state get to compete at nationals. About 100 people will compete in Schumacher’s event and after many rounds will eventually be eliminated until they get down to the semifinals and then finals, he said. A competitor does the same piece in each round and may do it seven or eight times in a day, he said. Schumacher said he started competing as a sophomore and has done it all through high school. He said he did the same event last year and got second in state. This is the nationals first year that he has qualified for nationals, he said. Junior Dan Sweeney will attend nationals as a senator in the Student Congress. He qualified at the Nebraska Student Congress held at Omaha Mercy High where he was the president of the senate. Sweeney was elected president of the senate at Mercy and will run for the position at nationals he said. The student congress simulates a real legislature where bills are presented and debated between members of Congress, said Sweeney. All debates will be based on facts that the students will have to research before they go to competition, he said. Normal routine ended for week Student Council recently sponsored the Spring Fling week. From April 29 to May 3, Lincoln High students were able to do things that were out of the normal routine. Dan Sweeney, Student Council member, said that the idea was to pro- vide a change in the routine for students. “It gave those students that usually don’t have the opportunity to participate in school activities the opportunity to do so,” he said. The week began with an all school Pep- rallv on April 29. At the rally athletes that participated in winter and spring sports were recognized The players from the soccer, tennis, baseball, track, and golf teams competed in a relay race. On Tuesday, students wore their tropical clothes. Hawaiian films were shown in the cafeteria after school. On Brown Bag Day, students were allowed an hour and a half for lunch. Many students chose to listen to the bands that played in front of the school. They were Baby Hotline, Lunchmeat and Power of the Spoken Word. On Thursday students were encourag- ed to don their togas. The Cheap Dance was held Friday. The dance cost $2.00, $1 00 for those that brought a record or a tape. Tidball 1st in editorial writing John Tidall placed first in editorial writing in competition at the Nebraska High School Press Association Write Offs. Juniors Jeff Kirk and Rick Riggins placed in the top ten in editorial cartooning. Seniors Robin Rathjen and Chris Stewart placed in the top ten in yearbook writing and photography, respectively. Staff members Kleitsch, Schaffer, Lein retire As teachers say good bye to their students at the end of the school year they will also be saying good bye to three fellow staff members. Three staff personnel retiring this year is Dr. Jean Kleitsch - head of Atten- dance, Twila Schafer - MR teacher, and Max Lein a teacher in the driver’s education department. Mr. Lein retired early this year due to a heart attack. Lein worked in the English department before being transferred to the Drivers Ed. department approximately 13 years ago. Grant described Lein as, “an ex- cellent teacher,” “devoted his entire life to teaching and his family.” Mrs. Schafer has taught at Lincoln High in the MR Unit for the four years that the department has been at Lincoln High. Working with special ed has enriched Mrs. Schafers life. “I’ve learned as much as any student I’ve ever had.” Schafer expressed. She received her Bachelor’s and Master’s in Vocational Home Economics. Mrs. Schafer will always have memories of the students she has taught. Her most exciting part of teaching would be that she and fellow teachers have taught their students what once was thought to be impossible. Dr. Kleitsch won’t actually be retiring. Kleitsch will be working with other school systems in the United States on and improv- ing their attendance policies. Kleitsch has worked at Lincoln High since 1964 as a counselor. After the staff recognized attendance problems she became head of attendance. Kleitsch will best remember the past years senior gifts. She helped many classes pick them. Lincoln High will be hard for Kleitsch to leave as she thinks highly of the school and of the students. “I think Lincoln High is outstanding because of the attitude of the students,” Kleitsch said. “You are who you are and nobody cares. Kleitsch will leave many things behind The most visible is the attendance policy. “I’m real happy with what I’ve done here,” Kleitsch said. But she realizes she did not do it alone. Kleitsch will miss the many friends she has on staff. The three retiring members of the LHS staff have all left something behind them, and will take many memories with them.

Thirteen years of books, studying, teachers and a whole lot of work will be ending once they have walked across the stage and are handed that one piece of paper that thirteen years of effort have went into. Now for the tough part, “What is ahead for those seniors?” A recent sruvey of Lincoln High School seniors shows that approximately 84-percent of the seniors will continue their education. Jennifer Holt is in the majority of her class that will continue their education. She will attend Midland College in Fremont. She said that she will probably study English or pyschology. Holt said that Midland is a small school that has a lot to offer in liberal arts. She said that she’s excited about moving away from home next year and that she’s not scared about leaving home like most students are. “Most people are pretty scared about leaving high school, leaving their families, and the security about knowing what is gong on,” she said. “But I’m excited about college, to get on with my life and not being so dependent on my parents.” Holt intends to attend college full-time, as do 65-percent of the seniors that intend to continue in education. But there are those students that intend to work as well as continue their education. Rick Ideus will be working full-time until January then will begin attending UN-L for second semester. He will be working at his father’s construction company. When he begins at UN-L he will study business management. He said that management skills will be helpful in the field of construc- tion. Another of Ideus’ career possibilities in- cludes racecar racing. But, he said racing will probably remain a hobby to him. He said that he will probably miss high school and his friends. “It’s like in summer you get tired of sum- mer and you want to go back to school,” he said. “Afer working full-time I’ll probably be ready for the university.” Senior Awards Forty-five seniors were honored on Wednesday, May 15, during the senior awards convocation. “The department chairperson and cer- tain people within the department choose the award recipent based on excellent per- formance in the area of the award, and academic perfromance is usallv considered as well. Each award has its own criteria. Paul I). Haar was chosen for the Ned Scholarship Award because of his ranking in class. Jennifer D.

Eleven-percent of the seniors said that they will enter the arm- ed forces. Of the students that are interested in the armed forces 16 per cent said that they will enter the National Guard. Melissa Coleman is enlisted in the National Guard. She will be in reserve duty for six years and will re- main on a list for national emergencies for two years longer. Coleman already attends guard drills. She is now able to give shots, respitory tests, and EKG tests. She’ll be in Basic and Technical training in Texas from June 18 to October 11, and then she will be stationed at Offut Air Force Base in Omaha for hospital training for six months. Her medical training will help her when she attends UN-L for the second semester. She said that she will be taking courses in pre-medicine and physical therapy. Cole- man hopes to be a physical therapist. She said that the reason she chose the Guard over all the armed forces is because they will pay 75 per cent of her tuition at UN-L. Coleman said that her high school days were fun but she is a little scared about leav- ing high school. “I'm happy, but I’m scared,” she said. “Because I won’t have a ‘set place’ to go, at a ‘set time’, no bells, to ‘tell’ me what to do.” The class of 1985 presented its class gift of an electrical message board Tuesday, May 15th during Senior Awards Day where it was unveiled by Darrin Jameson. The responsibility of deciding on the class gift was formerly laid on the shoulders of the Steering Committee; however, this year a Senior Advisory Committee was formed to do the task. The Senior Advisory Committee had originally started with approximately 25 members but now only consists of Five members and two advisors, Darrin Jameson, Pam Bartles, Lisa Murray, Krista Hall, Gloriann Sola, Sam Nelson, and Alma Howdeshell. The Senior Advisory Committee decided upon the message board for the class gift from a list of various things such as a new podium for the auditorium, built in benches in front of the cafeteria, or a new sound system in the auditorium and gymnasium, said Murray. Nelson said he was worried the gift wouldn’t arrive in time for Senior Awards Days, but it arrived in time to be presented. Murray said she is unsure of exactly where the message board will be placed, but said one possible location is the wall of the cafeteria where everyone will see it. Merriman, Boswell to speak Wednesday As the dealine for Commencement draws closer, feelings of excitement and anxiety grow for this year’s senior speakers, Becky Boswell and Jeff Merriman. Boswell and Merriman will present their speeches on May 22 at Pershing Auditorium to the 1985 graduating class. The speeches focus on the real world and the scariness of being a senior and graduating. ‘‘My speech is on the real world,” Boswell said. ‘‘I thought about what the real world is supposed to be and how after BECKY BOSWELL WILL JEFF MERRIMAN WILL ad- discuss the real world. dress “the scariness of moving on. ” high school you’re supposed to enter into it. “I wrote on the scariness of being a senior and the moving on of it,” Merriman said. ‘‘A lot of the speech is based on my own thoughts and feelings on the subject, but I also asked others what they will miss.” In order to achieve the position of senior speaker, the con- testants auditioned before a judging panel of Five faculty members and representatives of the Senior Steering Commit- tee. Boswell and Merriman had different reasons for wanting the position. “I have always thought that it would be kind of neat to be a graduation speaker,” Boswell said. “I thought to myself about how I haven’t been involved in too many things this year and decided to try out and give it my best shot,” Merriman said. Boswell was in charge of the Young Democrats club and was Managing Editor in charge of copy on the Advocate staff. Merriman was manager of the football teams, played in- tramural basketball, and was manager for track. Now that they have their positions as speakers, the reality of having to get up in front of the graduating class is becom- ing more evident. ‘‘I’m very excited,” Merriman said. “I’m glad that I got the position and I can’t wait.” Merriman said that the excitement began right after he found out that he had ‘‘made it.” ‘‘When I walked out of the building that afternoon, I was bouncing,” he said. ‘‘I was calm while inside, but when I got out. 1 let loose.” Advocate Sr. Edition, May 17, 1985 13 ---------------------- CLUBS DECIDED FOR ‘85-86 CLUBS UNDERGO CHANGES In the 1985-86 school year four clubs will be slightly dif- ferent. Madrigals, Pomalinks, Flag Corp, and Cheerleaders. The reason for changes is because of not enough students trying out for the groups here at LHS. Madrigals, which was originally for juniors and seniors, has accepted two incoming sophomores, Wyn Andrews and Chad Wenzl. Out of the 18 that tried out, 16 were ac- cepted by Joseph Skutchan, music teacher and sponsor of Madrigals. Skutchan said the reason he accepted the sophomores is because they were “very fine singers.” Cheerleaders will also be changing this year. There will no longer be varsity, reserve, and sophomore groups. In- stead it will just be varsity and sophomore. The varsity squad will include 10 juniors and seniors, and the sophomore squad will also consist of 10 members. Five from Goodrich, two from Lefler, and three from Everett. The last change will be in Pomalinks and Flag Corp. These two groups will be mixed into one group and called Drill Team, or Pomalinks. This combined group will wear the same uniform and will combine the pom-poms, hand movements, and flags when ever needed. Teri Ourada, Pomalinks sponsor said she feels that com- bining the groups is better because it takes away the com- petition between the two and they can both work towards the same goal as one group, and work much better at it.

Advocate Sr. Edition, May 17, 1985 —'ptatu'iei- = Lollapalooza meant special people As the school year winds down many of you will reflect, as I have, on the people we’ve met this year, our old friends and the new friends, all of the special people in our high school life. But what about all of those faces we’ve rushed by in the halls every day of this school year? What about all of those emp- ty, nameless faces that we’ve never met? The Lollapalooza column was meant to bring out some of those faces. The column was dedicated to the students of the shcool who have something special about them that few other students knew. Some of the students recognized were Jim Shorney, living in Pioneers Park, Carla Porter, dancing to her culture’s music, and Margaret Carpenter’s goals for her future. But somehow the column has failed. True, each of these people are special, but only eleven students have been recognized. To be totally successful the column would had to have included some 1,525 other students, other faces, and other uni- que facts. As I’ve looked at so many nameless faces I wonder what each face has behind it. Does the boy who wears the chains love smelling the flowers? Does the girl wearing polyester hope to become a star? Does the School image is deceiving Lincoln High School’s image is something that causes nearly every future Link a little anxiety. In junior high, student hear about the fighting, bullying, and other evils that supposedly go on in the halls of Lincoln High. These images are not just in the minds of students, but also with a great number of adults in Lincoln. In a recent Adovcate survey most adults described Lincoln High as rough, and as a problem, or fighting school. On the brighter side, nearly all who attended, or whose children attended Lincoln High, had good things to say. They called our student body diverse, they knew about our special education program, and said we had the best teachers in the city. If those who attended Lincoln High have positive things to say about their alma mater, from where do these negative images come? Principal Sam Nelson said they mainly come from stereotypes. Alice Heunick, a Lincoln High office secretary who worked in the school from 1953 to 1984 said that those bad images come from pre-set ideas. “It comes from the ethnic combination,’’ Heunick said. “People think that causes problems, but at Lincoln High it’s a positive thing.’ Despite Lincoln High’s image problem, and despite the fact that only 14 percent of 16 hotrodder dream of going to Harvard? I wonder if the rich boy really just wants a white house with a picket fence? Does the shy girl secretly desire driving a souped up ’67 Chevy? What does the smart boy want to be? The athlete may hate the glory, and the singer dreams of one day finding glory. I stan to question how much I’ve missed by not knowing each of the faces I walk past each day. 1 started to realize that every person in this school is so special, so unique. And I know so few of you. The more I look at these faces that I know so little about, the more 1 wonder. Maybe it’s time, past time, that we all wonder about the people that we share this school with. It’s time we break out of the cliques that have been formed. It’s time to realize that we are all people, not punkers, or brains, or jocks, or freaks. The group each of us associates with shouldn’t be what we are judged on. We are all just people. Isn’t it time we look around us, out of our own group. 1 think somehow people become narrow minded, and sometimes it’s hard to accept someone a bit different than ourselves. How sad it is that we base our friendships on clothes, money, haircuts, clubs we’re involved in, etc. A person is more than a car, a haircut, style of clothing, intelligence, and money. Behind every face you passed today lies a very special unique human being. What stopped you from meeting that person? Next time you walk past someone you don’t know, say hi. It’s simple enough. The next time say hi and even try to smile. It’s not too painful. Keep doing this and soon you will have enough established to stop and talk to this person, and before you know it you will have developed a friend- ship. you both will have learned something about each other, and how simple it was. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone in the school knew each other? There would be no need for groups or stereotypes or cliques. A dream you say? Yes, I am a dreamer, but sometimes dreams come true. I don’t think it’s such an outrageous dream, and certainly it’s a nice thing to dream of. But if it should ever come true, not only in the school, but even outside of school depends on you and me. “Imagine all the people, living for today, ’ sings John Lennon. “You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be one.” imagine. £ y Tami Atkins ‘If you had a choice, where would your children attend high school? The Advocate conducted an unscientific survey, concerning the images of each of the four high schools. The interview victims were chosen ran- domly from the downtown area and Gateway. East 29% I S.E. 16% L.H.S. 14% N.E. 14% Other 27% those surveyed said they would send their children to Lincoln High if they had a choice, LHS has a large number of transfer students into Lincoln High who do have a choice. Nelson said he knows why that’s happening. “Some people recognize we are a good school academically, athletically, in drama speech, music, in every aspect,’’ Nelson said. Nelson said Lincoln High appeals to a wide range of students. “Out course offerings accomodate out diverse student body,’’ Nelson said. Heunick agreed. “Letting youngsters have a schedule con- sisting of classes other than reading, writing, and arithmetic made a big dif- ference in attendance,’’ she said. How do we convey the good things at Lincoln High to the rest of the community? Nelson and Heunick also had answers for that question. “A satisfied customer is important,” said Nelson. “If students have good experiences at LHS they will tell other students what a good place Lincoln High is.” Heunick offered another suggestion. Invite students into the school and show them what it’s like,” she said. They go out and excel.” by John Tidball Advocate Sr. Edition, May 17, 1985 A U- Take a friend home to study' Study with Cliffs Notes because they can help you do better in English class Cliffs Notes offers more than 200 titles covering all the frequently assigned novels plays and poems Use them as a guide while you re read- ing and again as an efficient review lor exams They re great for helping you understand literature and they re ready to help you now Jliffsv rnw Available at: Your local bookstores LINCOLN SCHWINN CYCLERY “Bikes for the whole family” SOUTH 3321 PIONtCRS NORTH 1517 N.

Coach Bill Zuspan said he is “not one bit down about the‘Season.’’ “This was probably the best hitting team, in averages. I’ve had,” Zuspan said. Several Links hit over .300 this season. Senior centerfielder Mike Morris finished with a .386; senior second baseman Rick Stevens had a .353; junior pitcher Curt Lyons had a .322 and senior pitcher Tim Johns had a .313. Morris add- ed nine RBI’s and two homeruns to the season. Stevens said the beginning of the season was off-and-on. “The beginning of the season we were really sporatic,” but he said there were some good moments. “We had our spurts,” he said. To track coaches Bob White and Janet Bates, meeting potentials is important, but they interpret it differently. To Coach White, performing as well as an athlete can is imponant, and to Coach Bates, im- proving week after week to meet potential matters. While Coach White said that the boys team had a good season, he said that in performance, potential wasn’t met. “We had a very good season, up until the last few weeks.” The season was highlighted by a third place Links finish at the Trans-Nebraska meet, a third place finish among nine at the Grand Island Invitational, and four athletes qualifying for the State Meet. “We performed very high,” he said, “we set very high expectations for ourselves, and we met them.” The Links finished sixth place in what White calls a “tough district.” He said that the competition was tough enough to be a mini-State Meet. Overall, “We’ve had a good season,” White said. Coach Bates agreed, saying that she was overall pleased with the season; especially Christiansen The golf team has had an overall good season and has made team progress from previous years, said coach Joel Chris- tiansen. “Good progress was made in becoming competitive,” said Christiansen. More competition will encourage participation, he said. Recent tournaments have been highlights 18 Stevens added that after the third straight loss the team felt a lock of con- fidence. “We kind of lost faith in ourselves,” he said. Zuspan agrees, calling the beginning of the season “a little disappointing.” However, he’s proud of winning four of the last six games, scoring six to seven runs a game, and team effort, he said. “The effort from these kids was ter- rific,” he said. “In terms of effort, sport- smanship, fun, those are hard to measure, but they were great.” The season came to an end when LHS lost to Southeast, 16-7 in the semi-finals of the district tournament. ”We had some errors that hurt us,” Zuspan said. Stevens agreed and said “A few bad defensive plays, and we lost the game.” with improvement shown. “You can see improvement from where we started to where we ended,” Bates said. At the District Meet. 15 girls qualified for the State Meet in 11 events. Senior distance runner Sara Korte said that the team did “very well” this season. “The relays are in the top ten. The relays have taken first places at the Grand Island Invitational, the Harold Scott Invita- tional, and second at the District Meet. “I’m pleased because we were very young,” Bates said. “With only three seniors, that’s not very much leadership.” She credited the seniors of the team with helping support the team toward the honors they received. Bates called the team “One of the hardest working groups since I’ve been at Lincoln High. A lot of unity (was involv- ed). Track is supposed to be an individual sport, but we were relatively close.” Both White and Bates called their teams “young” and looked forward to other teams losing their seniors with LHS athletes moving up. “Make one bad play and that’s all she wrote,” he added. When looking back at the season as a whole, however, Stevens said that he felt that the team did well. “Considering that we started out (with a record of (3-8, the record is pretty good,” Stevens said. “Records don’t mean that much,” Zuspan said, “It’s how you play the game.” “I’m very proud of these kids, they love baseball. What more can a coach ask?” he added. The Reserve team finished the season with a third place in the Reserve Tourna- ment with a record of 5-10-1. The Sophomore team finished the season with a 6-3 record and a second place in the city. SOPHOMORE KELLY LOOS begins the start of the girls 1600-meter run. This season better than last for the team, Christiansen said. In a nine hole tournament the team beat Pius with a score of 157. In 18 hole tournaments they beat Beatrice with a score of 326 and at the Capital City tournament they received a score of 325. A goal Christensen had set for the team was to finish in the top five in major tour- naments with around 10 teams competing. The team reached their goal five times out of nine major tournaments, he said. Christiansen said he has a good outlook for next year’s team. The team has four returning lettermen and three promising sophomores, he said.

May 17, 1985 19 -Sfr ntd_________ Soccer team falls short A poor second half to the soccer season spoiled Lincoln High’s chances to win their third straight city championship, according to soccer team starter, Marlon Lozano, a senior. Despite a 4-0 record after their first four games, Lincoln High went on to lose three of their remaining five games. “We tied our fifth game, and after that we didn’t play as good as we had in the beginning of the season,” Lozano said. Soccer team faculty sponsor, Michael Baker said the team placed well despite a 5-3-1 record. “We finished second in the city, and I’d say we were in the top ten in the state,” Baker said. of hopes The number of students out for soccer this season doubled the number from recent years. Senior soccer team member Hai Ton said soccer’s popularity is not growing just at Lincoln High. “Other schools have gotten better. They are taking soccer more seriously,” Ton said. According to Baker the state and local school administrations are about to realize that soccer is a sport growing in popularity. He said although it may be unrealistic to think soccer will become a varsity sport next year, it could happen in the near future. “It is reasonable to think soccer may become a varsity sport, maybe two years from now,” Baker said. Lozano said that he too thought soccer will become a varsity sport. “Andy Beccham (a former LHS soccer player) and I have been working to make it varsity for three years,” Lozano said. “Something will happen soon.” All three said making soccer a varsity sport would be beneficial for the schools and the sport. “We’ll be able to become athletically in- volved,” Baker said. Lozano said if soccer was school backed it would make soccer even more popular. “More will go out for soccer if they are going to get rewarded for it.” Lozano said. Ton echoed Lozano’s remarks. “More will be playing soccer. It will be good for the school and our sport,” Ton said.________________________________ SOCCER PL A YER TRU Nguyen dribbles around a Southeast defender. Girls tennis team improves, meets goals Starting the year off with a young somewhat inexperienced team can sometimes prove to be uneventful; however, the Lincoln High varsity tennis team has managed. Coach Deborah VanDusen explained that even though they had a team that was for the most unexperienced, there has been a certain amount of improvement. The team set their main goal at the beginning of the year, and that was to improve. They have done just that. Returning varsity letterwoman, Myra Powell, supported what VanDusen said about the young team. “Our weakest point is the lack of ex- perience we have.” Powell attributed the inexperience to the lack of facilities. Powell and VanDusen both expressed a desire to win enough matches to match last year’s record. As of now they have done that with a current record of 2 and 8. They won out over Grand Island and Pius X. Athletes excel Basketball players Albert Maxey and Rod Gourdin have each received special honors. Senior Maxey has been the first athlete in twenty years to win nine varsity letters. The letters were won in cross-country, basketball, and track; receiving three letters in each sport. Maxey ran middle-distance in track, and played guard in basketball. Maxey said he has been offered scholar- ships from schools from various parts of the country. He said that the main ones were from Burlington, Iowa and Westlund. He added that he plans to accept the basketball scholarship from Burlington. Junior Gourdin was selected to play on the NDBA All-State team to represent Nebraska at the NDBA tournament in Las Vegas this summer. Only three basketball players from the Lincoln high schools were chosen. Over 30 participated in a long try- out at Bob Pcvaney Sports Center. 20--------------------------------- L-Club Newsletter unique for LHS Using a roomful of information on every letterman who ever lettered at Lincoln High and a memory dating back to his earliest days at Lincoln High, ex-coach Harold Scott has been putting out the L-Club Newsletter since 1957. The L-Club Newsletter is an annual publication that reports on current spons at LHS, and happenings with lettermen. The newsletter is mailed out to 1,500 LHS let- termen across the country. “It’s a link between Lincoln High and those who have graduated from Lincoln High,” Scott said. He said that he knows of no other high school in the country that has a newsletter on a comparable basis. Scott’s sources for information are files for every letterman who has ever lettered at a Lincoln High, including awards received, statistics, etc. Gathered form old Lincoln newspapers, old Advocates, old Links and from the historical society, his files could be considered a small museum. It’s getting so big that I don’t know where I’m going to put it all,” Scott said. (Sam) Nelson has said that it’s the biggest publicity thing that Lincoln High has ever had.” Mailed all over the country, to pay for the newsletter requires private sponsorship. While the newsletter has been in danger of ceasing publication, Scott said that past graduates have been very helpful in dona- tions. “The president of Amoco just made a big contribution. Even as busy as he is, he’s still interested in ties in Lincoln.” Besides the L-club-Newsletter, Scott has with a current record of 2 and 8. They won out over Grand Island and Pius X. “They are a good group of kids, they work hard.

Advocate Sr. Edition, May 1 7. 1985 77 —Ofii U44t6 1 — Longer days will cause problems Last year when the Legislature passed LB 994. a bill that requires high school students to attend school for 1,080 hours, it created a monster. To meet the state requirement, the Lincoln board of Education decided to have the school day run from 8-3:40. This is where the monster is created. For many students, and teachers. 8-3 was long enough, but now the addition of 40 more minutes to the school day will be devistating. Many students who work start work at 4. Going to work directly after school gets out and getting there on time will be difficult. In addition of 40 minutes will also make sports practices get out even later, keep activities that meet after school here for a long time and cause extra curricular activities to take more time out of a students’ day. — Letters — Teacher burn out is another pro blem created by th minutes to the sch ing teachers to fill with productive an- tivities will put a st] The Legislature education is good much anxiety isi minutes to the school day won’t help urt it.

We jump, scream, hoot, and hollar for the success and triumphs of our fine, talented athletes, but does this school, as a whole, do anything for the academic achievers of LHS that would come close to a pep rally or spirit rally? I think that school spirit should be equally channelled into these two areas of achievements (athletic and academic areas) instead of almost completely centered around the athletic field. After ail, isn't our school spirit a main part of what makes Lincoln High the best? And being a main part, it shouldn't have any favorites” or show any partiality to any one particular section, but all sections should be respected equally. Lori Goemann In a bold a courageous move, the Nebraska Legislature passed a resolution calling for a bilateral, verifiable, nuclear freeze. Although the resolution is non-binding, it shows that Nebraska lawmakers are concerned about the arms race and value the sanctity of human life. The members of the Legislature who vote for the resolution are to be commended. State Senator Don wesley, the primary sponsor of the resolution, realized the treat of a nuclear holocause is great and wanted to do something about it. During debate on the freeze resolution, one senator said that time was wasted by discussing the freeze, a matter he said Nebraska lawmakers have no qualifications to be discussing and voting on. Unfortunately, this is the attitude that many Americans take. People don’t believe that the freeze is a pressing issue, when it is the most pressing issue of today. Nebraska became another state to join the movement of adopting a resolution calling for a nuclear freeze. Hopefully the resolution will make it to Washington in the form of a bill and the freeze will become a reality. r TN - ' 'V TU is ncT ifjj.t 15550 $n .X Freeze OU 74e NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE RECENTLY PASSED A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A NUCLEAR FREEZE.
