Nebraska Christian Eagles 1988 ADMINISTRATION UNDERCLASSMEN TITLE 1 Moving — we all do it in many different ways. Students at Nebraska Christian prepare to move on to the future. Although students don’t usually think about it, almost ev- erything they do is preparing them for this move. For in- stance, academics prepare us for our move into college or the job market. Two very practical subjects, English and Bible, are essentials in life that will help us no matter what we do after high school. Bible classes prepare students to have a Christian perspective in everything they do. Also, extra-curricular activities help us move into the future by playing a big part in the development of student’s lives. Dealing with the ups and downs of these activities helps students develop character and good attitudes toward others. 2 Se es 1, “Bible is so much fun.” 2. Deb just loves school. 3. Justin is enjoying study hall. 4. Jody and Rodrigo visit about their countries. 5. “That’s my wife???” 6. Shayne and Kara want their privacy. Due to changes in the staff, the teachers have had to move over to new responsibilities this year. This has caused them to give much of themselves to each new area.

New responsibilities come with each progressive year. Along with academic and extra-curricular activities, they are also striving to move up to a mature level in their spiritual life.

We have a lot of variety in the Ju- nior Class. The Junior year has been an ex- citing and challenging year due to more responsibility. One big job that juniors have this year is running the concession stand and the candy store to raise money for the Junior Senior Banquet.

Le I - ——— ee 6 Proverbs 27:17 “Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Dorm life has its ups and downs, but the ups out weigh the downs. Even though you miss your family, you are constantly surrounded by people who care, and are able to make lasting friends. Tolerance is very important in the dorms. “You learn to put up with people taking baths at 2 A.M.”, says Tammy Wolfenden. All in all dorm life provides an envi- ronment where students can strengthen each other. STUDENT LIFE 33 “I'd rather be fishing.” Pastor Larsen shares with the student body.

Students enjoy the great salad bar. 4. Julie, her pig, and Lisa dressed up for uni- form day. STUDENT LIFE 35 DON’T EVER FORGET 1988 87-88 has been memorable because of the many major events which occured throughout the year. The Iran-Contra Hearings with Oliver North, as well as the summit meeting between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev which resulted in the IMF Treaty, will stand out in the minds of many. What would you pay for: October 19th marked the biggest economic crash since the depression as the Video Rental $2.50 stock market plunged and many suffered severe financial losses. Large Pizza $12.99 Gasoline $1.03-$0.80 The legal tug of war over Baby M sparked debates on the issue of surrogate Guess Jeans $48.00 motherhood. Candy Bars $0.45 Movie $4.00 During the last two weeks of February, millions of Americans again enjoyed Can of Pop $0.45 the quadrennial ritual of the Winter Olympics held in Calgary, Canada. Cassette Tape $9.98 Student Admission $1.50 Republican and Democratic candidates were actively campaigning for dele- to Games gates positions in their respective party’s presidential primary race. A wise man said, ‘Every day is a miracle and unrepeatable. Once lived a day cannot return; we can not change one word of the record history has written, but we can return to the days of the years past.” NEW PRECEDENT History was made at N.C. in the 1987-1988 school year. Girls were al- lowed to wear pants from December 15 to March Ist. The girls welcomed this as they got cold even though they wore long johns under their dresses. The girls appreciate this new privilege, and the coming win- ters won’t seem so wicked. What’s “In” in 1987-88 Some day we may look back and laugh at the “faded” jeans we wore in high school, but for now, stone- washed Guess, Pepe, or Zena jeans are the thing to have. If you’re a girl and not wearing jeans, maybe a mini skirt is more your thing; they are cer- tainly in style. It’s impossible to go be anywhere without seeing the words THE LATEST IN AFTER- “Coca-Cola” this year.

Hebrews 10:24-25a “And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another.” Activities in a Christian high school encourage us to grow together as one body. By becoming involved in the various aspects of school, we can get to know others better and can grow from our relationships with them.

A drama class was a new addition to the schedules of 15 stu- dents during the first semester. Even though this is the first time in many years for NC to have a drama department, the class decided to enter the Goldenrod Conference and District contests for one-act plays. The play they chose was “Tilly.” “Tilly” was aired on Dr. James Dobson’s program,“Focus on the Family.” It is about a lady who had had an abortion in her past. During a dream she finds herself in heaven where she meets Tilly, her aborted daughter. Having searched for peace, she finally finds it in the forgiveness which only Jesus offers. Senior drama student Dina Gurnery said, “The play was rewarding because we knew we were reaching people with the message of God’s forgiveness.” ACTIVITIES 49 , STUDENT COUNCIL 1.

There are many events throughout the school year to put into the yearbook, and we have tried to select the ones which in years to come will bring back many of your high school memories. We hope that you will enjoy this year’s edition of the Reflector. The yearbook staff would like to take this opportunity to thank Miss Lipke for all the time and effort she has put into helping us with the yearbook. We’ve all known that she has done a lot for us, but until she had back prob- lems and missed the week of school before a deadline, we never knew how lost we would be without her. She has spent hours and hours entering copy and captions into the computer. We’re not sure how she finds time to do it, since she spends two or three nights a week helping us with our pages, but we are very grateful for all she’s done. We would also like to thank the individuals and busi- nesses, who, through their advertisements, have made our book possible. “Well, if you want my opinion... ” A few staff members were able to attend a workshop in Kearney. “What’s next?” , Editor and Amy, Asst. Editor compare ideas. n OS SERES a ROI I Timothy 4:8 “Bodily discipline is of little profit, but Godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” The actual skills which we learn in sports won’t be used by the majority of us after high school; however, the attitudes and charact eristics we develop will always be part of us. Learning to react in a Christlike way when you have a bad practice or lose a game is a challenge for each athlete.

This year our record of five and three didn’t permit us to reach that goal. With two losses and our toughest game coming up, we still didn’t give up. We showed character in that game that was a testimony for Christ. The team never gave up, and we never quit fighting. I’m so thankful for the ability to play the game, and I hope the teams we played saw Christ in us.” Wes Hitchcock, 1987 Team Captain SPORTS 55 Shane Jordan: All Conference Ist team defensive end; Russ Barnell: Honorable mention linebacker; Wes Hitchcock All Conference 1st team guard; Dennis Fling: All Area run- ningback; Chad Jividen: Honorable Mention cornerback. “Both good news and bad news struck our team before we ever hit the practice field. The bad news was that senior Kirby Hinton, who we were expecting to take a very active role on our football team, was in a three wheeler accident. Kirby was out for most of the season but did come back from his broken ankle and played sparingly at the end of the season. When preseason finally got here the bad news continued. We were surprised to have seven new students who were planning to play football this year, but they were ineligible for varsity because of their transfer status. One of those players was Darwin Binder, a senior who came to practice with no assurances that he could play in a single game. What a tremendous display of a giving, sacrificial attitude. The good news was that Coach Mike Bremer was coming back to be our line coach and Jim Tonniges came to us with nineteen years of coaching experience to be our defensive coordinator. This made up one of the finest coaching staffs in recent years at N.C. The best news of all was how God’s blessings were showered on us as bruises and strains were our most serious injurys. Another blessing was the leadership shown by the seniors. The season was a success not only as the world counts it (5 wins, 3 losses), but more importantly, for the spiritual victories gained as these young men responded with Christian character and grew from their trials. The real victory comes when I hear comments from officials like I did this year saying, “I always enjoy working with your young men.” Coach Schreiber AWARDS Mighty in Spirit: Russ Barnell Total Release: Wes Hitchcock Humility: Paul McHargue Dependability: Paul McHargue, Wes Hitchcock Most Improved: Aaron Weeks “We shared many opportunities to learn as Paul did, ‘to be con- tent whatever the circumstances.’ Our Varsity match with Palmer is a prime example. Joy over our 15-0 first game turned to sorrow when we lost the next two. It was an excellent test of our ability to be content. Unity is always a concern when nineteen girls compete for twelve positions. We struggled of course, but, here again, were oppor- tunities to learn. Comments shared at our social suggested we had 5% learned a lot about Paul’s teaching on the importance of each in- SS dividual. Thanks for the memories we’ve shared this season. May God bless you all as your opportunities to learn continue.” Coach Dockweiler « Tage 1 ae ea f 7 %: ef Rais . 4 ROU Mary Jo: “With no returning starters I think we proved something to ourselves this year.” Kerry: “I felt really close to the players; it was something I’ll never forget.” Beth: “Even though we didn’t have a winning season, the losses brought us closer, and I still felt it was a good year for us.” Dina: “This year was special, not because we won a lot, but because I felt more love on the team than I ever felt before.” Nancy: “I enjoyed this year because I felt that we grew closer to each other and to God.” Priscilla: “There were a lot of ups and downs, Goldenrod Conference honors were given to: Beth Bingley, First Team and First Team but I think we came out on top because we All Tournament; Lei Ferris, Second Team; Kerry Jividen, Honorable Mention. played our best and had fun.” Lei: “It was a learning experience for all, but AWARDS a neat bunch of girls to play with made my learning experience fun.
