Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1980 volume: “
2E£c Words are like people, each having a different meaning ... ( wards) 1. A series of speech sounds that symbolize and communicate a meaning. Sometime in our lives, there comes a time when we must decide who we are and what we want to be. Whether it be a fire- man, a secretary, or a super hero — each in some way will define that person. Defining one’s self is like searching for a word in a crossword puzzle: the more you try, the harder it seems to get, but it can be accomplished. When a person has found himself, his mean- ing in life has then been established. Now, the per- son can begin to relate to others and build lasting friendships. 2 Pages are like friendships, imprinting memories in our minds ... (pa js) 1. The sides or leaves of a book. Memories are things of the past, whether they be as recent as yesterday or as long as several years ago. Many of our fondest memories are of the friendships we’ve made dur- ing our school years. But many of these friendships will fade as the years pass leaving only memories as reminders of these friends. Memories are like books that have become old friends to whom we frequently return. These memories of our friend- ships bind us closely together and form the backbone of our personal growth. 3 The binding is like society, the backbone of us all... (bind-ding) l. A substance that holds the cover and the backing of a book. Society ... Sometimes we rebel against it; sometimes we are content to follow where it leads us. No matter how we feel about it, society has influenced our lives. Society started as individuals, as an unbound manuscript, who have joined together for mutual protection and com- fort. If the quality and workmanship involved in building a society is poor, as it sometimes is in the construction of the book, then you can expect it to fall apart. But if it is good, then the book can outlast the lifetime of a man. For the most part, it holds strong, like a structure that stands tall. Society provides cover or protection for the individual. 4 The cover is like a building, protecting us from harm. V (kuv er) 1. To keep from harm by shielding. All of us have known the comforts of a home. It shelters us from harm. A shelter is one of the basic needs in life. They can take many forms: a home, a church, a medical clinic, a school, and even a police station. They all provide some kind of protection. The cover of a book provides similar protec- tion for the information inside. 5 ORGANIZATIONS shuns or gan-i-za A Group United for One Cause (span-ish) l.

They attended the 18th Annual Creighton University Mathematics field day in which out of a total of 40 teams which included all class A and B plus some class C schools, finished 5th to three Iowa teams and one Nebraska team. The other team finished 24th out of the forty. Individual honors included: Dave W., fifth in Mad Hatter A; Bruce Y., and Carey P., 8th in Leap Frog; and Mike O., 9th in Mad Hatter B. Team 1 included: Dave, Mike, Joel, Bruce, and Carey. Team 2 included: Tom, Tom W., Dan, Lorna, and Marilyn. This was Spanish Club’s second year and it was a good one. One of the highlights of this year was the Foreign Lan- guage Fair at the Univer- sity April 15, Ann, Brenda, and Kathy all received superiors in the first and second year competition and Dan received a superior in third and fourth year — native speaker competi- tion. Six students received various honors in poetry citation, and five students all received good mark- ings in the Musical com- petition. Overall, it was a good year for Miss Costel- lo’s Spanish Club.

The areas of state competition were: Oral Int. — Becky S., Clark R., Karen H., and Eric L.; Duet Acting — Julie F., and Clark R.; Informative Speech — Karen H.; and Poetry — Valerie S. The club had many activities leading up to state. Thirty partici- pated at the Doane Col- lege Workshop and Musi- cal, the Beatrice Invita- tional, which included mostly class A schools. Conference Speech at Friend in which four stu- dents received excellents. They then traveled on to District Speech in Sandy Creek where 14 partici- pated. This year’s club built a winning tradition in yet another area — that of speech and drama. Participation was good and the results even bet- ter. The many young members of the team will form the basis for an even better performance next year. (dram-e) 1.

An organized company of singers who sing in concert. The chorus class of Milford for the 1979-80 school year consisted of sixty-four people. They gave two main concerts — a Christmas concert and a Spring concert. In addition to the concerts, the chorus participated in the annual District Contest at Weslyan University. At the contest, participants were rated on a scale from one to five, in which they received a two for their efforts. Directing the group was Mr. Jim Alexander who was very pleased with their performance. Mrs. Nowotny, the accompanist, was a big help in attaining their goals for the school year. But mainly the thanks goes to everyone who made this year a great success. Row 1: Mr. Alexander, M. Lauer, B. Vagts, A. Roth, L. Hander, J. Putnam, P. I loins, C. Stabenow, M. Rorst, E.

Although thev had a slow start, the Milford Swing Choir (shown top) performed in numerous places during the year. The choir sang at the Spring concert, on March 24, as well as in various churches in Milford and Lincoln. Milford High School had an outstanding year in the area of music. At the District Music Contest the students who par- ticipated in the various small groups were awarded three one’s and three two’s. There were three small groups that attended the Contest — the quartet, the trio and the duet. The quartet and trio received a one and the trio received a two. In addition to the three small groups there were also three soloists — Nancv Bergstraesser, receving a one and Clark Roth and )ayne Liesveld receiving two’s. H 0 1 R ii eo z Q (band) together. 1. A group of musicians organized for playing The 1979-80 Milford Senior High Band was the biggest band ever. There were 71 members. For the first time in years, the marching band participated in the Nebraska Marching Band Festival at Pershing Auditorium in Lin- coln. The band received a three. The concert band partic- ipated in our Conference Clinic at VVymore and District Contest at Nebraska Wesleyan University. At District Contest the band received a rating of two by performing the songs “Denbridgeway” by James Siveringten and “His Honor’' by Henry Filmore. The band also had a small “touring band” that made visits to the rest homes and to other city events. So at the end of this year the Senior High Band had lots to be proud of along with Mr. Hoch, who will, unfortunately, never teach our band again. Everyday Appearance Back Row: (1 to r) Mr. Hoch, T.

One of the main ones that everyone knew about was the jury system. Student council had set up a tempo- rary committee to meet with the cooks, they are hoping to set up a permanent one to meet with the cooks regularly, next year. Above: Top Row: L. Plessel, B.

Rutt The publication of the EYRIE was included in a journalism class during the 1979-80 school year for three quarters. Previously it was published outside of class time. The quality of the paper gradually improved as the students learned more about jour- nalism techniques and started to develop their own style. The March issue was considered to be the best and the class would have liked to have entered the issue in competition at the Nebraska High School Press Association Convention in the fall. The stu- dents learned a lot about the newspaper world and how it works. But most of all, how to take a few stray ideas and put them together into an interesting story. Journalism will not be offered at MHS next year, however, because of the lack of student inter- est. fan yOO wcl) l.

It all started in the Fall of last year with the selling of advertise- ment hoards to some of the local businesses. When the winter and spring came, everyone started working on their pages and meeting final deadlines. It was hard getting all the school events covered hut we did the best we could. So what we really tried to do for you was to give you a hook that will help you remember your school days at MHS.

BSSfiSSlHE Beginning by cheering the Football team to the semi-finals in State, and ending by supporting enthusiasticaly the Girls’ Basketball team into the Districts, kept the 1979-1980 Pep Club extremely busy. Although problems arose concerning the buses, credits, ana uniforms the Pep Club was able to overcome these tribulations and end the year with the election of officers, installation of cheer- leaders, and the Pep Club party. This year the Eagle mascot was created and at the side lines she was doing her thing. Concerning the future of the Pep Club, there was some debate as to whether there would be one. But with everyone’s support the upcoming Seniors have vowed to make the future Pep Club year the best ever. Officers: Pres. — Julie F., V.

This money was also used for the football breakfast and the volleyball Sunday party, which the cheerleaders gave. The end of the year was celebrated with a slumber party at River- side Park for all of the cheerleaders. Overall it was a good and excit- ing year. 23 M C 1 u b (Klub) i .

Our ninteen member squad this season contin- ued a Milford tradition of quality, dedication and excellence, both as wrestlers and individuals. This tra- dition dates back for over fifty years and can be best summarized this season by the first place fin- ishes of Steve Troyer and Daryl Braunsroth in the State Tourna- ment. As a team, the squad fin- ished with a 8-1 dual record and set a school scoring record of 127 points in tournament competition. We also finished eighth in state standings. (sezun) 1.

One of the eagles in action. State Qualifier Mike Hays. Our competition can be seen by the fact that 132 wrestlers Milford faced this year qualified for State, with 47 of them receiv- ing medals. The Southern Nebraska Con- ference qualified 44 and earned 21 medals, led by 5 firsts and 3 seconds (all three of the seconds lost to conference opponents). One team we faced this season won Class C and another was runner-up in Class D. Nine teams we faced this season either were rated or ended up in the top ten in the State. 31 The boys’ basketball team won the regular season Southern Nebraska Conference Eastern Division for the fourth year in a row. They also won the Bradshaw Holiday Tournament champion- ship. Seniors dominated the team by filling 10 of the 12 varsity posi- tions and provided team leader- ship. (Hun ' dred) A number consisting of ten times ten. The boys’ basketball season was highlighted by a 91-47 trouncing of W ilber, which was Coach Bob Bargen’s 100th career win at Mil- ford. The boys ended their season 14-6. 32 Back Row: L to R — Coach Bargen, R. Plessel, D. Hoins. D. Worst, B. Meredith, P. Wohlgemuth, J. Ficke, Coach Wcrgin, Front Row: T. Frei- muth, C. Peters, A.

The 1980 Milford Golf Season lived up to the expec- tations of the team. They came away with a total of 10 medals and two trophies. This year three members of the golf team received a first or second place finish in a tournament. Mike Hansen took a 1st place finish at the Wymore Invitational, Dennis Ahl received a 2nd place finish at the Palmyra Invitational and Brad Meredith won a 2nd place medal at Districts. But the most important team effort was a 3rd place finish at the Dis- trict Golf Tournament in Lincoln at the Mahoney Golf Course. This qualified the whole team for the State Golf Tournament in Grand Island on May 23. Season’s First Trophy — 3rd Place at Wymore Invitational, (left to right) Ross K. Brad M. Rick R.

The boys par- ticipated in a total of nine meets, unfortunately they didn’t win any meets but they placed fairly well. Also, because of a fine performance at Districts, Doug Hoins was the only state qualifier. He place first in the pole vault at Centenial, this had won him his berth at the state meet. Overall, the 1980 season proved to be a rebuilding year for the “track- ers” but everyone gave a 100 percent effort... Right Joel? Below Doug is practicing for State. Nice Job Doug! 1980 Boys' Track Team: 1st row — T. Ryan, T. Gregg. D. Phi Ison, R. Hoppe, R. Stniwe. 2nd row — D. Wurst, J. Ficke, 3rd row — Asst. Coach Hoch, D. Hoins, K. Klabenes, R.

The Junior Varsity football team had a very good season this year with a final record not showing the true talent these young men possess. Ilris year’s team proved to be strong building blocks for next year s success. 37 PROSPECTS (priis-pekt) 1. A mental picture o? something to come. The Jr. High basketball team had a good season this year. Winning 4 out of 7 games made the boys winners in more than one aspect. Furthermore, the team also won the Milford M- Club Tournament. This year’s drib- blers were: 1st row — T. Stauffer, C. Pelan, M. Roth, D. Cimino, S. Min- chow, B. J. Parker, T. Blair, B. Stutz- man, M. Minchow, 2nd row — K. TeSelle, S. Peters, D. Thomas, M.

The duals with Friend and Tri-County came out with a won-lost record. A sweet victory was the triangular with Dorchester and Wilber. In the two tournaments. Centennial and Dorchester, the team walked away with one 1st place, one 2nd place, one 3rd place, and two 4th place finishes. The team consisted of: A. Kremer, M. Welsh, M. Boss, S. Gifford, M.

SCOREBOARD 41 MAJOR IMPROVEMENT (im'pruv ment) 1. To form better condition; a gain or advancement. If there was an award in our conference for the most improved team, Milford would surely get it. The Eagles improved from an 8 win — 9 loss record the previous year, to a 15 win-7 loss mark this year. Out of those 15 wins, they won the Southern Nebraska Conference tournament and the SCC tournament, and finished runner-up to Centennial in the District Finals. Another good sign for improvement was that 6 Milford players made the All Conference team, 3 more than any other year. It was a total team effort, not just from the 6 who were out on the court, but also from the people on the bench. Each and every person had a duty to fulfill — a duty added that little extra effort that made it a great team. Good job on a successful season, and good luck next year. Standing: J.

They finished with a 17-4 record, but yet once again they ended up one game short. The girls were even better than their record as they avenged one loss while the other three came to highly rated teams. The lady Eagles once again won their side of their confer- ence but lost in the finals to Hebron in overtime. The girls also won Dis- trict but lost a very close game to G.I.C.C. in Regionals. 44 Back Row: L to R - Coach Blair. R. Reid. J. Stutzman, J. Putnam. L. Murray. M. Woebbecke. D. Dill. M. Boss.

Working as a team, they placed second at the district track meet, and scoring the highest district point total in Milford history. They qualified seven girls for state. Kelly Kness in shot put, Melinda Gifford in 100 meter hurdles, Susie Hays in discus, Beth Schramm in 8(X) meter run and in 1600 meter relay with Laura Plessel, Brenda Roth, and Tracy Meyer.

Coach Piening and her freshmen volleyball team ended their season with a 7-4 record. The junior varsity ended their season with a 6-4 record. The things that these girls really focused on during the season were their basic skills, bumps, sets, spikes, serves, and offensive and defensive positions. Coach Piening said that the game with Friend was their best dur- ing the season. It was their last game and the girls had shown considerable improvement. They played as a team. In that they were way behind and they had come back to win it. This just shows that these girls are super players and hard workers. Freshman: B. Stauffer, M. D'Eredita, B. Thomas, L. Plessel, A.

They broke in their new coach, Tammy Blair, who is a Mil- ford alumnus. She graduated two years ago and played basketball on Milford’s varsity team.

It could have been due to the great food provided by the Milford Women’s Club or maybe the great entertainment provided by various students, which included slide shows and skits. On the other hand, it could have been the great speech by Jerry Pettibone, or the excellent decorations hy Lois Farlin and her crew of helpers. But it was mainly due to the exceptional athletes that Milford had this year, that made the competition for awards all that much greater. -STAR BANQUET (ban' kwit) l.

There was the traditional Bonfire on M onday night followed by a snake dance round town. The parade was held on Friday afternoon. This year instead of decorating floats, we deco- rated cars. The week ended with a victory over the Friend Bulldogs, 59-14. The dance followed and the music was provided by Red Tag Disco. Home- coming was a great success and will always be remembered.

Everyone who participated in it, worked hard but had a lot of fun. “Scrooge” reminded everyone that love is special and so is caring, especially at Christmas. For those who don’t remember, Scrooge was an old man who didn’t believe in love and giving. He had four haunting visitors one night, Parley’s Ghost, Spirit of Christmas Past, Spirit of Christmas Present and Spirit of Christmas Future. With the help of the three spirits, Scrooge realized that lov- ing and being kind wasn’t so “humbug” after all. Above: Scrooge listens in fright as Marley’s Ghost tells of his plight.

As Juniors, “Eagle Lightin’ ” was our first really good float. Prom also was something each one of us could take pride in. How about the Eiffel Tower — that was pretty neat! Remember trying to haul the camel up from P.D.? What about when we took a break from decorating for Prom over the noon hour???? We also held a protest in the cafeteria that never quite got pulled off. After the games, who will ever forget the endless times we drove to Seward to the Pizza Hut, and the West “O” Gang gave color to our class. Senior leadership shone throughout this year. In athletics, the Seniors led the way to State Football Semi-Finals. The musical was a great success thanks to the talents of many Seniors. Individuals showed their State leadership abili- ties in FHA, FFA, and FBLA. Those were the fun times, but we also had some serious one too. Those tests and lectures we thought we’d never live through, listening to Mr. Shimeall’s jokes, and working on Mrs. Caleca’s term papers. We also found we weren’t as good with budgets as we thought when we took our hand at grocery shopping in Adult Living. In this class we could express our own opinions but we always stood up for each other too. Maybe that’s why we were so close. — Donna Kunert — President: Pat Hoins Vice President: Terry Tyrrell Secretary: Lorna Murray Treasury: Dennis Ahl Student Council: Joel Ficke Doyle Hostetler Rusty Plessel: Musical 1, 4, Foot- ball 1, 2, 3, 4, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Track 1, Golf 2, F.B.L.A. 3, 4, M- Club 1, 2, 3, 4, National Honor Society 3, 4, Teacher Aide 3, Pep Band 1, 3, 4, Band 1, 3, 4, Swing Choir 4, Football Co-Captain F.B.L.A.

The United States’ hockey team not only gave a surprising performance on the ice, but also came away as number one team and undefeated . .. Eric Heiden soon became a household name when he was the first person ever to win five gold medals at the 1980 Lake Placed Winter Olympics . .. Even this could not take away the disap- pointment caused by Randy Gardner and Tai Babilonia’s unability to compete for the United States in couples skating. But these victories were to have to satisfy the American people because there is to be no competi- tion for the United States in the 1980 Summer Olympics competition at Moscow, the reason for Jimmy Carter's decision on this was connected with Russia's aggression into Afghanistan ... the hostage situation was the thought on the minds of the American people for over 200 days by the Iranian students, the yellow ribbon campaign was related to the hostages and has been a constant reminder of their captive ... A rescue attempt had been tried, but through its failure a plane crashed and eight American military men were killed . . . On another side of a hostage situation, the American people thanked the Canadians for a successful rescue of secretly hidden Americans ... Closer to home the United States felt the power of mother earth when Washington’s volcano. Mount St. Helen, erupted and caused the destruction of;an atomic bomb . . .

And once again another year has passed for all to see, filled with its glories and disappointments; it will not lie long forgotten. 97 The Beginning ... We have all heard “the thrill of victory the agony of defeat.” This phrase just describes the differences between those who “are” and those who “try to be.’ In the 1979-80 year at MHS, we have know the sweet taste of victory many times. The few times we experienced defeat, we would rather forget them. We proved this to be true, not only in sports, but in our clubs and social activities. ... The End All things, too, have a beginning and an end. Events in our lives are no excep- tion. From the first frightening day of seventh grade to the triumphant march across the stage on graduation night we have changed. Homecoming, winning, losing, history, math, English, study halls, tournaments, conventions, parties and prom — each year brings you one step closer to graduation. As we leave MHS these experiences will go with us. I would like to thank Tim Pedersen, The Milford Times, and the Seward County Independent for the use of many of their photos. My appreciation goes to Mrs. Caleca, Mrs. Piening, and Mr. Hingst for their help and support. A special thanks to Marilyn Woebbecke for her encouragement of me and her devotion to this book.
