FRESHMEN HANDLE NEW ROLE A new locker combination to for- get, a new hallway to stake out, new classes, new problems, new opportunities. These are just a few of the things that faced the fresh- man class. As the high school rookies, the freshmen were able to manage their hectic schedules as well as all the extra-curricular hoopla. Yet, they did not have all the choices that upperclassmen did. Course requirements for fresh- men included algebra or general math, science, and freshmen Eng- lish.

BELOW: Doug Langenberg dresses down to work on a float. The anticipation and reality of a driver's license and the cost and selection of class rings were two traditionally unique experiences of the sophomores. The class of '88 provided some twists to Home- coming Week. They not only found time to build a first place float but also brought high tech, to the dance as they projected both the grand march and music videos on a large screen. A few more electives were available to the students of grade 10 while such courses as American and British literature and U.S. history were required.

BELOW: Al- len Goody does his part to raise money for Prom '86 by working in the concession stand during a football game. The junior class bided its time, sometimes patiently, sometimes not, waiting for the departure of the class of '86. Perhaps the nervous tension and energy of the juniors was a result of their anticipation of being next year's seniors. The idea of Prom was always in the back of most of the juniors' minds. They spon- sored concession stands at foot- ball and basketball games to raise money for the formal event. Juniors had more freedom in course choice, but yet were required to take World Cultures and Fiction Studies.

Senior portraits, class elections, graduation announcements, class colors and flower, class motto, courses yet to take, graduation requirements to fulfill, when to graduate, what job to seek, what college to attend. Choices. Decisions made the final year of high school both diffi- cult and exciting. While most classes had become elective choices, an English course and a social studies class were required. Choices dominated the thoughts of the class of '86. TOP LEFT: Officers. Lisa Marshek, vice-pres., Teresa Waldschmidf, pres., Colene Brenneman, sec., Richie Burr, Ireas.

A staff of 19, headed by editor Teresa Waldschmidt, became knowledgeable about principles of design and layout and put their knowledge into practice to produce the 1986 Elm, Once In A Lifetime.

STUDENT LIFE A Successful fall play was followed up by a major musical production for two nights in March. The sophomores found a few ways to liven up Homecoming. The juniors found themselves in prom preparation pandemonium while the seniors planned their long-awaited graduation. 3 TRADITIONS CONTINUE The sophomore class selected Cherish as the theme of the Homecoming dance. The sopho- mores provided a large video screen and students could dance to the latest videos or watch them- selves on the screen. Phil Forbes and Dawn Rocca were crowned the 1985 Homecoming King and Queen. Their court included Brad Musser and Stacy Swartzendruber, Cary Feldman and Colene Brenneman. Spirit week was celebrated in a variety of ways as students dressed up like nerds and beach bums, wore their pajamas to class, and remembered the Fifties. A bonfire on Thursday night fired up the Lions for the game against Mediapolis on Friday night, but tra- dition continued as the Lions lost another Homecoming game. Eariier in the day, the student council sponsored the annual parade which boasted many entries. The sopho- mores took first place float honors. The seniors took second place. In center photo, members of the Homecoming royalty begin the second phase of the Grand March. From left: Gary Feldman, Colene Brenneman, Phil Forbes, Dawn Rocca. Above, Teri Forbes, Teresa Waldschmidt, and Stacy Swartzendruber look like they are dressed for going to Slumberiand rather than going to class on Pajama Day. Pip Fisher, right, flashes his best nerd smile as he shows off his wardrobe on Nerd Day. 84 On Thursday night after the sophomores completed their decorating, the deserted north gym, top picture, awaits the activity of the Grand March and Homecoming dance to be held there the next night.

HOMECOMING ’85 Above left, the cheerleaders continue their efforts to fire up the fans for a Homecoming victory, this time with the help of the Lone Tree Fire Department. Above, the sophomores are aboard their completed float the night before the game. Although the float beat out its competition, its prophesy of doom for the Mediapolis Bulldogs was a bit premature as they beat the Lions by a score of 14 to 6. At left, Pip Fisher dug deep into his closet again on Beach Day to find the proper attire to pose with the eventual victim of the bonfire. Below, the cheerleaders encircle the bonfire as they conclude the pep rally held on Thursday night of Homecoming Week. 87 Jimmy Took (Pip Fisher) needs a wife in a hurry to prove to his Uncle Dan (Bret Horrell) that his monthly support checks have been justified. When Uncle Dan decides to deliver the monthly check in person, Jimmy, his Aunt Ellen (Leigh Westfall), and roommate Bill (Roger Swartzendruber), begin a frantic search for a “temporary bride. Eventually, three brides appear on the scene to confuse nearly everyone. Bill and Mr. Oswald (Scott Schumacher), a bill-collector, both show up in drag to con Uncle Dan. Bill's real girlfriend, Madge (Jeanne Alt), also pretends to be his wife. The eventual outcome of the Lone Tree Drama Department's production of Here Come the Brides proved entertaining to the audience in attendance on Friday night, November 22. Above right, Scott Schumacher pretends to be one of the brides for Pam Vrchoticky's benefit. At right, Pip Fisher, left, introduces Jeanne Alt to Bret Horrell, as Bret's character.

A Broadway performance of Guys Dolls was staged on March 7 and 8 at Lone Tree High School. The story was set in an off-Broadway area of New York where gamblers made silly bets and weighed the benefits of their bachelorhoods. Sky Masterson (Bret Horrell), falls in love with Sarah Brown (Pam Vrchoticky), who runs Save-a- Soul Mission for sinners. Nathan Detroit (Pip Fisher), head gambler, chooses gambling over his fiancee of 14 years, Miss Adelaide (Cindy Goody), a show girl on Broadway. A large cast including the junior high and elementary stu- dents participated. Even the faculty members got into the act by keeping the beat of the musical steady by being a part of the mission band. The musical was sponsored by the Drama and Vocal De- partments and was co-directed by Miss Klein and Mr. jurgensen. In top picture, Cindy Goody explains to Pip Fisher that her cold might be due to psychology.

Two events during the ceremony were different than in past years as a graduate, Bret Horrell, provided entertainment by singing Some- where Down the Road and a slide show replaced the traditional speaker. The slides included candid shots of the seniors' last year as well as childhood photos and senior portraits. Al right, Beth Telford anxiously awaits the beginning of graduation ceremonies.

Many news events touched all of our lives during the past year. The space shuttle Challenger exploded in January, killing all seven crew members aboard, including the first teacher in space, Christa McAuliffe. Terrorist bombings made frequent news. In retali- ation for bombings allegedly supported by Libyan leader Muammar Kaddafi, President Reagan ordered the bombing of several terrorist camps in Libya. Violence continued in Central America as U.S.- backed contras in Nicaragua fought the Sandinistas for control of the country. Racial turbulence rocked South Africa as the white minority government continued its policy of apart- heid despite mounting world-wide opposition. The farm economy worsened and resulted in many farm foreclosures and several bank closings. The sit- uation turned tragic when a Lone Tree farmer killed himself and three others in December. In response to appeals to help drought and famine stricken countries in Africa, millions of dollars were raised through efforts such as Live Aid. USA for Afri- ca raised money through a best selling song, We Are the World . Final preparations for the Statute of Liberty's 100th birthday celebration were made. Private donations paid for the repair work. The fear of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syn- drome) spread across the country as scientists sought a cure. Ferdinand Marcos of the Phillipines was ousted from power and sent into exile. He was replaced by Corazon Aquino. William The Regrigerator Perry helped the Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl. Pete Rose shattered Ty Cobb's career hitting record. The Kansas City Royals won the World Se- ries. Hayden Fry took the Iowa Hawkeye football team to the Rose Bowl only to lose to the UCLA Bruins.

Students selected as del or alternates to the 1985 session are pictured left. The fads, trends, and favorites of students at Lone Tree High School were polled in a very unscientific survey in mid-April. Our survey suggested that Lone Tree teens enjoyed participating in sports and going out with friends. Chances were good that they were wearing either Lee jeans or Levis. While driving around town, they probably listened to Whitney Houston, Phil Collins, Lionel Richie, or Starship on the radio. Songs they waited to hear included, Addicted to Love , Cherish , and Separate Lives . When they went to the movies, it was prob- ably to see Michael J. Fox, Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris, Gint Eastwood, Molly Ringwald, or Meryl Streep. The movies they most enjoyed were Pretty in Pink, Rambo II, and Rocky IV. After the movies, most of them probably grabbed a burger at McDonalds, al- though a few also went to Hardees. If they stayed at home, they tuned in The Cosby Show, MacGyver, or Miami Vice on television. If books were read, they were probably the romance novels of Danielle The sports fans also gave predictions for three professional championships.
