Lourdes Central High School - Lourdette Yearbook (Nebraska City, NE)

Page 5 text:

Knightlife is more than a book filled with pictures. It is a chapter out of the life of the high school years at Lourdes. It is filled with memories of people and events that fill the school ten months out of the year. Many changes have made life at Lourdes different. This year, thanks to requirements of school hours, school was lengthened to 3:20 p.m., mak- ing the days seem longer and the nights shorter, new faces were found in the faculty as Fr. McGuire, Fr. Au, Randy Geier and Pat Calvert joined the club. We said our good-byes to Fr. Benton and Kay Weiss and wished them luck where ever they go. Brown-bagging lunch be- came the in thing at our cafeteria. For changes in the future, the north Central Eval- uation Committee was set to improve the system at Lourdes High. The athletic life at school covered many areas and in- cluded many people. Defeat- ing Class C's 1 rated Pawnee City proved to all what the Lady Knights can do in Volley- ball. The story was a deja vuas the Knight Football Crew came up victorious over first-rated Snyder. Passing into basket- ball we find many ups and downs. Girls' basketball came up short in size and number as the seven-membered group gave a good show with the big teams. Boys' basketball was exciting and unpredictable as the mix of Juniors and Seniors got the crowds going with the help of a few referees. Track- sters took to the street as the year ended up with the Spring- track action. Intermural Bas- ketball and P.E. classes were full of laughs and athletic experiences. Even the games during Catholic Schools' Week gave the non-athletes a chance to show their talents. Academically, Lourdes had many students on honor roll and honorable mention. Clas- ses seemed to get harder but the students were able to han- dle them. Juniors and Seniors were able to express their feelings as a grade by writing in journals and writing assign- ments for Mrs. Harris's English classes. A large part of the science grade was due to ex- periments in lab and participa- tion in Science Fair. History and English joined together into a Humanities class with stories of Early America. Swing Choir joined the class sched- ule on Tuesdays and Thurs- days. Math classes took trips to Tarkio and northwest Mis- souri State to work out prob- lems. Accounting got students figured out financially while Home Ec got us ready for home life. Art gave us a chance to use our artistic talents. P.E. classes gave us time to let a little energy out. And finally, those who put this memory book together — the year- book staff. Clicking pictures with glue on their fingers and snappy captions on their minds and going out for ads was the fun until copy sheets and word counting made them work hard. , 0 7 C H O O L o K n i Q H T S TABLE OF CONTENTS School Knights............. 1 Knight Crew.................5 Knightly Events........... 25 Active Knights............ 47 Knight Clubs.............. 65 Knights' Supporters...... 77 SPECIAL THANKS Kiritsy Photography Bells' Studio News-Press Steve Case Knights of Columbus Walsworth Company, Pub.
