Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1973 volume:

1972-1973—a year to be remembered. For, like all others, it can never be fully recreated. The unique experiences that brought us laughter and tears, joy and sorrow, and introduced both gains and setbacks, friendships and misunderstandings into our lives, are now only memories. While we can never bring them back, we can, through reflection, truly make them and all they taught us our own. We give you the 1972-1973 Lourdette. May it take you back—only to ultimately lead you forward.

For the first time in 14 years Lourdes had to go on without a teacher who had al- ways proved to be one of its most active components. How did we manage? With a little help from the Ursu- line Order: beautifully. To the right is Srt Susan Mary, who took on Sister's Spanish classes, and below is Sr. Mary Albert who conducted her classes in Busi- ness. Both were great, and we never could have done it without them. 28 What is a Lourdes student? First, hard to de- fine. He comes in the usual assortment sizes, shapes, and temperaments, and yet he is in each case, someone unique Perhaps he can best be defined by what he does-which is a little of everything. If musically inclined, his day begins at 7:45 with band, 30 i' Directed by Sr. Robertina Filbum. Directing his work as you can see, but if things go well, its easy to get lost in the music... 59 strong, the band pulls together 12 different sections to produce a sound that is solid and vibrant. L 31 After band the students scatter to their home- rooms, and then it's on to class. But there are classes, and there are classes, if you know what we mean. The road leading from Fr. McCabe's 8th grade Religion class to Sr. Mary Rudina's Analysis class is long and hard--and upon arriving you discover you have to work harder than ever, as any Analysis student would tell you! 32 Like Bob and Leonard, the girls in Home Ec. are highly skilled. In fact, their cooking abilities are al- most as spectacular as their smiles. Here you see juniors, Mary Hiskett and Cathy Pfeiffer, and seniors, Mary Anne Clark and Kathy Rawl- ings, enthusiastically baking up a storm while poor Lucy Kreifels does the dirty work. Come on Lucy— smile.. . 36 Meanwhile, in another area of school, Marcos Wilmes flashes a grin after successfully conjugating a Spanish verb. Whishh--crash! Plink, plink. . .No school would be complete without a Physical Education program, and bowling is a pleasant—and often humorous—way to pass the time. Vicki Heng and Marcy Navrkal are obviously having a good time, but somehow. .. 39 School's out!—but not everyone goes home. Some have study to catch up on, a few have speech, and the basketball team has an hour and a half of practice yet to come. Here Dan Giittinger is about to go up for a shot, as the rest of the drill line and Coach Fleming look on, and Jerry Hauder is gracefully tipping the ball in. During proactice, the gym is a hor- net's nest, and there are always numerous people on hand to watch the goings on. Here Coach surveys the scene, as the guys on the team get some solo practice. 43 It's 7:00 p. m. , and the school is again a center of activity for clubs and projects of all kinds. You see the Spanish club's Christ- mas fiesta in progress, and the Pep Club hard at work on posters. All in a day's work. 44 Football The Knight footballers started the season under a new leader, Coach Don Fleming. If there is any one single quality that his name evoked among them, it was confidence. From begin- ning to end the team knew they could count on him. It was pretty obvious, even when he was cussing you out at halftime or imitating the officials on the sidelines, that he knew his foot- ball. The 7-1 season record earned by the team was proof of the patience of our new coach, and the hard work put in by all involved with the team. 46 The season started with a big win over Benn- ington, the first of six victims in a row for the powerful Knights. In its entirety, it was highlighted by a thrill- ing offense and a good sound defense. Dan Krog, a Junior back, would burst ahead out of the backfield to squirt and squirm for five and six yard gains, but his efforts would have been useless had it not been for the solid Knight line. 47 Then came the usual pair off of Falls City Sacred Heart Irish and Lourdes for the conference championship game. It began with a thrill for the Knights, but then tradgedy struck. On third and six Bill Kreifels called a rollout pass, but instead ran head into two Irish players. He was injured and forced to leave the game. 48 But Doug Kreifels intercepted an Irish pass and scored the first TD on the Irish that season. However the Knights joy wasn't to last for long for Bill was out, and under the number two quarterback the Knights couldn't put it together. Despite the disappointing loss to Falls City, the Knights ended their season successfully with a final win over Pawnee City, and picked up a hard-earned 2nd place in both conferences. 49 Volleyball 50 Like everything else this year, volleyball proved to be very unique. Although it was only our second official season, the girls began to realize the necessity of team work and lots of hard practice. A silent look from Sister became an audible command to the players, and the joy of a win or a correct play (As shown by Karen Derk's dig) was felt by all. Such well-executed plays as Karen Giittinger's and Marci Navrkal's became the rule rather than the exception. Of course, there were times, as Rita Miller's expression clearly illustrates, when nothing seemed to work. Throughout it all, the look of a real team began to show. (We even had a water girl!) It was not the complicated plays that made this year—it was mostly the simple skills, such as'leaming to wait for the ball, which Kathy Heng and Diane Eiserman demonstrate. 52 The Knights basketball team began the season with high hopes, and a few returning lettermen. Two of the team's major assets were the Wilmes brothers, seen here, one up for a jump ball, and the other tak- ing the ball down the court. Basketball Another asset was the fans. The presence of certain peo- ple could always be counted on, and the nuns were among the more enthusiastic and loyal backers of the Knights efforts. 53 As in past years, the Knights were not exceptionally tall. They relied mostly on teamwork, and moving the ball to the open man for a clean shot. Sophomore Clint Kreifels, seen here going up for a jump shot, didn't see much Varsity action, but was a big factor in the reserve games. Of course, things didn't always work out. Fouls, for instance, were sel- dom appreciated, and Senior Dale Kopf certainly doesn't look too happy about this one. And yet, things could not go smoothly all of the time. Mark Wilmes was excep- tionally good at coming up for a jump shot from the top of the key, and here he effortlessly arches the ball toward the hoop for two points. Tension was always a factor in the games. Thoroughly exhausted, the team here takes a moment to regather their energy and wits. Doug Kreifels, right, dribbles the ball down the court, as Dan Giittinger seeks a little relief from the heat. 56 Careful dribbling, pinpoint passing, making the shots fall. All are vital in basketball as Knight players show here. These elements, as well as a number of others, all played their part in the season. The shot made, the pass stolen, helped bring victories at times. The shot missed, the ball thrown away, brought defeat in others. Still, for the Knights, 1973 was a very good year. Track The Lourdes 1973 Track season had to be termed a great success. After the Knights burned up the track enroute to their first victory, they earned two Conference Championships, and the District title. The teamwork displayed by the Knights was largely responsible for their success. It was the third and fourth place points that won the meets, not just the record breaking firsts. The style and grace shown by Darrell Navrkal as he sails over the hurdles, along with the speed and determ- ination displayed by Mark Wirth accounted for much of the Knight's scoring depth. This season also saw the appearance of the girl's track team. Although a young team, the girl's displayed their athletic talents in two major meets. Explosive starts like Vicki Heng's and strenuous finishes like Karen Giittinger's charac- terized the hard-working girl's team. 58 Sprinters Doug Kreifels and Kevin Knoll burned to rec- ord breaking finishes in 100, 220, and 440 yard dashes. Hard-running Joe Connell ripped across the finish line to earn himself a berth in the State Track Meet, along with teammate Doug Kreifels. Charles Hauder also qualified for the State Meet, displaying his grace and style in the 120 High Hurdles. 59 60 The relay teams always added thrill and excitement to the meets. Marcia Kreifels, after receiving the baton, tightrope walks the line to keep in the race. Rick Stuckenholtz was the anchor man on the Two Mile Relay, and cruised to some of the finest finishes of the season. 61 ....Stats FOOTBALL TEAM LC OPP Bennington 30 6 Johnson-Brock 14 0 Stella 54 8 Sterling 41 0 Humboldt 26 16 Nemaha Valley 16 0 F.C.S.H. 8 22 Pawnee City 16 13 Galaxy All-Conf.

And begin we did. In the short space of 2 and a half days we were exposed to some ideas and emotions that we, very likely, will never forget. In that space of time we talked, walked, listened, sang, prayed, played, ate (!) and slept, a little... But the retreat really centered around God—God as He is Himself and as we can know Him in our lives. Everyone had something to share, both privately, with friends, and in discussions as a class. In the sharing . process we discovered a seriousness and sincerity, both in ourselves and in our classmates, that we had some- how failed to fully notice before. 66 The discovery made an impression on nearly everyone: . .discovered I had the wrong ideas about most of my classmates. Really made me feel guilty.. Couldn't believe some of the kids thought so deep... Was shocked at the way some people opened up... And of course, there was God in the person of Christ, in the Eucharist. We, as a class, had the opportunity to celebrate the Mass together twice, which served, in the words of one Senior, to unite us through the retreat, in God. We were all deeply moved. It was very beautiful because we were celebrating it with people we were getting to know... Learned to enjoy the Mass... The reception of Our Lord under both species in the Eucharist made both Masses es- pecially memorable. The class not only prayed, but played together as well. It just wouldn't have been retreat without the footballs and card decks that seemed to emerge just about anywhere. There were other moments to remember. The penitential ser- vice conducted by Fr. Don Laramore was an altogether new experience for all of us, and Jim and Sharon Cripe's discussion of Christian Marriage, and Sr. Mary Rudina's talk on religious life, were well-received—and greatly appreci- ated—by all. Everyone also seemed to appreci- ate the presence of the chapel. Each day was officially ended there, with our classmates, in prayer, and many found, as did one student, that it was a good place to talk to God, and try to know Him. After celebrating the final Mass together Tues- day, we somewhat reluctantly left the Retreat House and set out for an afternoon of shopping in Lincoln, which culminated in dinner at the ele- gant Tony'.s and Luigi's Restaurant. The retreat couldn't answer all of our questions and needs, of course. But it did help us to real- ize quite a bit about others, and a lot about our- selves. And, too, it ... Showed us some of the ways that God is in our lives, and how we can at least try to reach him. It was a beginning... Activities Jean Schreiter Barbara Tanking Cheerleaders Nancy Paap Patrice Kinnison Reserve Cheerleaders Band 1972- 73 saw the continued success of such newly established traditions as the Spring and Winter Concerts, the Pep Band, and marching in the Arbor Day and Applejack Festival parades. It also saw the establishment of a new tradition. For the first time in its seven year history, the band par- ticipated in the Annual Marching Contest in Lincoln's Pershing Auditorium. 71 Clubs The National Honor Society Officers, LEFT TO RIGHT: Patrice Kinnison, Vice President; Doug Kreifels, Treasurer, Marylou Wirth, President; Mark Wilmes, Secretary.

The record speaks for that: first places in both conferences and 2nd place at the Nebraska City Invi- tational and District Meets. And there was Rita Miller's Winnie-the-Pooh, which placed in the State Meet finals, Mark Wirth's dramatic oration of Shelly's Ode to the West Wind, and the more gentle theme of Mary Lynne Kreifel's Love Poetry. The selections for the events were as varied as the personalities involved. Hope is the Thing With Fea- thers was the One Act Play--the story of seven bums in Central Park. Charles Hauder illustrated his Informative Public Address with photographs. Naturally enough, the subject was on the necessity of a space program.

Homecoming 1973 began on Thursday after the bell dismissed school. Everyone hurried home and back with decorations, to transform the school into Camelot. The Sophomores decorated the outside and the Freshmen the inside. The first floor became the throne room; the ground floor, the dungeon. By 9:00 everyone stopped working and filed down to the football field, for the bonfire and skit arranged by the Juniors. After some cheers and egg-citement, came the snake dance up Main Street. After a serious day of study on Friday, everyone was ready for the game, which the Knights won over Stella, 54-8. Then followed the coronation of the royalty in the school gym. Last year’s royalty, Joe Nocita and Mary Ann Schreiter crowned seniors Bill Kreifels and Jean Schreiter King and Queen. Following tradition, the two led the first dance, with all of the seniors and royalty joining in. 77 Prom Prom, 1973, was last minute fixes and rushes, foun- tains, streamers, and lots of flowers and laughter. Couples entered through the colorful threshold with visions of romance, excitement, and expectations of the first, or last, Prom. Dancing in the Moonlight was the theme, and even though the couples weren't always dancing, the magic of the evening seemed to linger everywhere. Mark and Karen found the well to be one of the best spots to en- joy the evening. Mike and Lucy were one of the luckier couples as they found a quiet place to sit and enjoy the evening. Mark and Donna found each other, and evidently, that was enough as they toasted to Prom and each other. 78 Besides the expected excitement of Prom, the Senior boys added some additional highlights. Phillip and Darrell were just one of the lovely couples to be seen. All throughout the evening, there were the thrills and joys of any prom: the pride experienced by the Juniors on creating one of the most enjoyable evenings of the year; the feeling of expectation and sadness of the Sen- iors for their last Prom. But no matter Junior or Senior, all seemed to know that Prom 1973 was one evening to be remembered. 79 The Knights of Columbus Awards Banquet featured Joe Blahak, University of Nebraska Defensive End, as the main speaker. The Athlete of the Year Award was giv- en to an elated Greg Derks, and the Community Ser- vice Award was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Ivol Stevers. Awards banquet 80 The Outstanding Senior Student was a smiling Marylou Wirth, and Coach Joe Miller was presented with an honorary Letter by L-Club President Greg Derks. 81 Graduation On May 20th the class of 1973 graduated from Lourdes. On that emotional and very warm night all 36 of us were made to look back and reflect for just a moment on all that four years of high school can do to a per- son. Everyone was saddened at leaving the security of high school and their friends, and yet happy to start a new life, in college, as a married person, or as a working adult. For the entire class it was a time for tears and laughter, fond memories and saying good-byes. Marylou Wirth summed it up beautifully while quoting THE LITTLE PRINCE in saying, one runs the risk of weeping a little when he lets himself be tamed. And she con- tinued, . .after water fights at Wabonsie, retreat, and six classes a day together, no one could help but be tamed. When our speaker, Father McMahon com- mented during his talk on how lucky the class was to have had the experience of Lourdes and our classmates, the entire class agreed. The night would not have been complete without the cry line , many congratulations, and lots of kisses. Upon leaving the school for the last time all the seniors felt the peace and contentment which comes only to those who have worked, played, teased, and prayed together for over four years, and when all is ended, still be friends.
