ttlMAUA CITY HIGH SCHOOL THE PIONEER 1977 NEBRASKA CITY SENIOR HIGH Nebraska City, Nebraska Volume 31 John Barton Travels To Washington, D.C Mr. John Barton, American Government teacher, became the first teacher to sponsor a group of interns to Washington D.C., on a program geared for students with an active interest in government. 1.

Many students, teachers, and parents took advantage of the opportunity, as books ranging from non-fiction to crafts were sold. Students Take CPR Survival Training After their last day of classes on Tuesday, May 10th, all of the seniors came back on Wednesday morning to take a course in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Taught by local rescue squadsmen, nurses, and physicians, the students learned the proper steps and procedures necessary to save someone’s life. After practicing several times on “Resuscitator Annie”, both alone and with a partner, the students then took a test to test their knowledge of CPR. After they passed the test, they were given a certificate stating that they were proficient in CPR survival techniques. 1. Pat Williams takes his test after working with Annie.” 2. Kathy Brooke (LEFT), Mike Arthur, and Dara Allgood try to revive Annie. 3. Tim Reuter and Debbie Peterson practice the two-person method of CPR. 4 Math Analysis Class Starts Tradition The Math Analysis class taught by Mr. Walter Belding started a tradition in the form of The Big M. A. C. (Math Analysis Club). This is a class composed of seniors only, and their main activity (and their favorite) was taking field trips across the hall to the Home Ec room where they helped themselves to goodies prepared by the foods classes. 1. Some of the many awards won by the members of the large and active FFA. 2. Big M. A. C. (Math Analysis Club) members are (FRONT ROW) Kevin Sharp, James Neil.

This year they built a Cape Cod styled house for Mr. Ken Clark, industrial arts teacher at NCHS. 1. Dave Stukenholtz (LEFT) and Sheldon Sharp work on the skeleton frame of the house. 2. Jim Schneider (LEFT) and Louie Peterson nail molding around the kitchen window. 3. (FROM LEFT) Dave Patton. Dave Stukenholtz. and Dave Heng work on the house's siding. Activities Jeans are playing a very important role in the dress of the students at NCHS. Included in the dress of every student is at least one pair of jeans. Many students though, own a variety. They serve as practical attire and are very comfortable, besides they go with practically everything. Students have gone to the more dressy jeans. These have assorted styles with rope braids, rainbow trim, cut-out stars, leather strips, many pockets, crazy stitching, etc. The styles are too numerous to mention. The only drawback to jeans is the price. They run from $20 to $26 a pair pretty outrageous for a student on a high school budget. 7 Fall Musical ‘Once Upon A Mattress’ The fall musical, “Once Upon a Mattress”, was presented at NCHS on November 19 and 20. It is a modern version of the classic princess and pea story. Queen Agravain (Brenda Barrett) decreed that no one in the kingdom shall wed until Prince Dauntless (Tony Nebelsick) marries a true princess. This proclamation causes great concern among the kingdom, especially among Lady Larken (Lori Stortenbecker) and Sir Harry (Steve Saathoff). Princess Winifred (Theresa Anderson) arrives and promptly wins Dauntless’ favor by swimming the moat. Queen Agravain, however, determines that “Fred” shall not marry the prince and so subjects her to the pea test (one pea under twenty mattresses). “Fred” wins and she marries Dauntless. 1. Tony Nebelsick (Prince Dauntless) and Theresa Anderson (Princess Winifred) try to console Lori Stortenbecker (Lady Larken, SEATED). 2.

Approximately 40 students displayed 75 art projects. Industrial arts students also displayed some of their woodworking and drafting talents. Sponsors for the event were Mrs. Nancy Wurtele, Mr. Ken Clark, and Mr. Ron Booth. There was also a pops concert given by the City Singers and the Stage Band.

This dramatic presentation was the first NCHS has done for several years. The play was well executed. Chris Hofer as John Proctor and Vickie Stein as his wife Elizabeth are faced with vengeance by Abigail Williams, played by Rhonda Arthur. Abigail, who wants to marry John, leads four other girls in testifying about some townspeople possessing “the demon,” including Elizabeth Proctor. They bring these charges against certain townspeople because of jealousy and bad feelings towards them. This starts as a way of getting out of trouble because they were caught dancing around in the forest and supposedly engaging in witchcraft. This practice was forbidden by the Puritans. It ends with many innocent people jailed and hanged because of these false accusations. The peak of the play is when John Proctor gets accused of being a witch when trying to save his wife from death. John does not confess to the false accusations and therefore is condemned to die. This was the last play Mr. James Callen will direct. He will no longer be the drama coach as he has elected to take over the position as the librarian. He was honored by the cast with a rose, memory book, and things for his new baby boy, John Preston. 1. Left to right: Rhonda Arthur pleads with Chris Hofer. 2.

Most clubs and organizations sell their own with their emblem on it. Many students find them comfortable and very practical to wear with jeans. They come with a variety of slogans. Some are printed with scenic backgrounds, wild pictures, animals, names, cute little sayings, etc. Students enjoy styling their own shirts and then having them printed T-shirts have increased in popularity this last year, due to the many different kinds available. T-shirts can express personalities of the students and also can show their hobbies and things they enjoy. T-shirts are very important to students at NCHS. 21 It Is The Start Of Our Best Year: Julie Agnew Lori Ailes Teresa Aldana Debra Anderson Kathy Badberg Curt Barrett Gail Bates Tammy Baucke Mike Beccard Don Behrends Lin Betts Peggy Blevins Paul Bogle Steve Boomgarn Elaine Boyer John Bradley Ann Breidenstine Donna Brixey Tom Brockley Mark Bruening 22 A Year Full Of Spirit And Pride Pam Carlson Darrell Carnes Todd Chaney Ted Christensen Bret Clark Natalie Cockerham Steve Cody Bill Cohn Cash Colbert Leona Collins Faith Cornell Mary Ann Cornell Members of the freshman football team are (FRONT ROW) Neal Henderson, Robert Hoffman, Ken Cutler,Kirt Sharp, Curt Jordan, Roger Hoback.Jim Spidell,Terrence Ott, John Green, Jeff Rayner.

Class Of “77” Shows Great Promise The senior class was under the leadership of Jayme Gruber, secretary; Joni Yost, president; Debbie Peterson, vice-president; and David Ailes, treasurer. Mr. John Barton, Mr. William Abernathy, and Mr. Loyd Maskell were class sponsors. There were 120 seniors, of which 31 graduated at mid-term. The class motto was “Accept me as I am so I may learn what I can become.” The class colors were those of the rainbow, and the flowers were an assortment made in rainbow colors. The senior trip was to the Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri, on May 6, from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. On May 14, the seniors had a dinner at Kathy Glover’s home. Dave Heng furnished a pig to roast for the party. Graduation was held for the first time at Steinhart Park on May 15 because of the construction of the new elementary school at Hayward Park. This class holds many promises for the future. Good luck to all of them in all they try to do, whether it is in this community or many miles from home.

Sports A variety of shoes have walked these school halls this past year. The most popular style of shoe for boys is still the tennis shoe. For girls, however, it’s another story. Girls have been seen roaming around with sandals, wedges, hiking boots, waffle stompers, earth shoes, and the most recently popular cowboy boot. The style of shoes has not seemed as important as the comfort. The shoes worn most often have been the faded scuffed up ones. These are the most comfortable and best liked by the students at NCHS this last year. 63 Cross Country Team Much Improved This year’s cross-country team was much better than the last. Lonnie Mead and Tim Garrett provided the punch for this year’s squad as they consistently finished in the top fifteen places. Seniors Tim Woodruff and Cappy Case provided additional help throughout the season with additional support from juniors Tim Ostransky, Ken Smith, and Adolfo Aldana and sophomore Lynn Noerrlinger. The team was undefeated in dual competition at Auburn, Falls City, and Syracuse. The team also performed well at various invitational meets,placing 9th at the Waverly Invitational, 3rd at the Falls City Invitational, 3rd at Syracuse and 2nd in the Twin Rivers Conference meet held at Falls City. Nebraska City finished 5th in district competition. 1. Team members are (FRONT ROW) Lynn Noerlinger, Lonnie Mead. Russ Smith. SECOND ROW: Cappy Case. Ken Smith. Adolfo Aldana.

In the first game we beat them 76-64, but, after that, they beat us in two return games. Lincoln Plus also posed a problem when they beat us by one point.

The FHA officers were Joni Yost, president; Kathy Singleton, vice president; Nancy Burkhart, secretary; LeAnn Burger, treasurer; Joyce Stoll, historian; and Cheryl Gigstad, parliamentarian.

For the very first football game spirit buttons were passed out to every student. During a few of the games contests were held between the classes to see which had the most spirit. The winners were always the juniors. For the basketball game against Syracuse the basketball cheerleaders, with the help of Mrs. Lois Berger and Mrs. Wurtele, worked diligently on a giant cake. At the end of the game everyone devoured it with their fingers. 127 Thespians Active Organization The Thespians were active not only with the spring play but also with the fall musical. It takes more than just acting to become a Thespian. There is a lot of “behind the scenes” work that has to be done. To become a Thespian a student must accumulate a minimum of 10 points which he earns by being in plays, helping back stage, help find props, painting back drops, build sets, find costumes and fit them to the actors and actresses, sell tickets, and work on makeup. The student may also receive points by being in speech contests. Members for 76-77 year: 1. Rhonda Arthur, Rita Long, Bob Mead. Ree Miyoshi, Larry Whitehill. Myrna Clark. Russ Simth, Teri Rinehart.

Gauchos, jean vests, and cowl necks have all been worn by the girls at NCHS this year. The boys and girls have both worn overalls, some choosing the farmer style while others go for the new painter style. Gauchos have been popular throughout the year. In the winter they were worn with boots and in the spring they were worn with sandals.

One hundred nineteen students received their diplomas and some were also awarded scholarships and certificates of achievement. The four students giving the honor addresses were (OPPOSITE PAGE CLOCKWISE) 1. Joni Yost. 2. Greg Mann. 3. David Ailes, 4. John Schneider. The class selected as its colors those of the rainbow. Their class flowers consisted of an assortment including daisies, roses, and baby’s breath. The class motto was “Accept me as I am, so I may learn what I can become.” The Reverend Stanley Rutkowski gave the benediction and the invocation. The “Pride of the Pioneers” band played the processional and recessional, and the City Singers sang “Remember” and “Harmony.” The class of 1977 now leaves Nebraska City High School after three years of hard work and memories. Where they go from here is up to each of them personally. 146 So I May Learn What I Can Become • % Wk (fad n « -� I4 ♦ fir sv v � «v :« 1.
