The times of our lives are precious and few Freshmen are just beginning to make the times of their lives worth remembering as they talk with friends of events to come. 4 DM k in • i THE PIONEER 1978 NEBRASKA CITY SENIOR HIGH Nebraska City, Nebraska Volume 32 We dedicate our 1978 PIONEER to a teacher who gained not only respect from his students but love as well. Mr. Paul Holliway, 1917-1978 Surely none of his former students and colleagues will ever forget how much sheer energy Mr. Holliway devoted to teaching, or how he was always willing to devote extra time to individual students. Mr. Holliway was genuinely concerned not only that his students learned, but that they enjoyed learning and retained interest in the subjects they were studying. He often went to great lengths to inject humor and interest in his teaching. None of his students will probably ever forget his Christmas “Chemis-tree”, made of chemical experimental apparatus, or his repeated jokes about the store bought products he used in experiments, like Calumet Baking Soda, Brer Rabbit’s Molasses, or Fleischmann’s Dry Yeast. He would use the phrase, “Best By Test, tut, tut!”, to describe their value. Or when using pH paper (alkaline test strips), he would refer to it as Paul Holliway paper. Mr. Holliway always seemed to be bursting with enthusiasm, especially when it came to school spirit. When explaining how a catalyst speeds up a reaction, he would use the phrase, “Go, Go, Pioneers!” For all of the unique ways he taught we will all remember him as a truly great teacher. 2 Table of Contents Introduction Page 4 Activities Page 8 Organizations Page 38 Athletics Page 64 Academics Page 96 Classes Page 110 Senior Summary Page 156 Index Page 160 Closing Page 163 Students participate in work credit Many students at NCHS participate in the DECA and FBLA work credit program. This program is designed to help students in preparing for their futures with on-the-job training. It is under the guidance of Mr. Robert Rathe and Miss Jan Wulf, business teachers at the school. Students like this project and work eagerly to earn their credits. The students are required to work at least ten hours a week; they receive five credits per semester that they work. The employers grade the students at the end of every quarter and confer with their teachers from time to time to discuss the progress of the students. These business managers prefer student workers on this program because they can be more sure of getting a good worker and one who cares. 4 program earning credits and cash OPPOSITE PAGE.

Safeway became the most famous meeting place in town. Rarely do you find the parking lot empty. When hunger is the problem, Lil’ Duffer is quite popular and for pizza appetites you’ve got the variety of the Pizza Hut, Godfathers, and Torino’s. If a snack is all you need, Champlin’s Han-de-stop is the place to go. Also on the weekends when there aren’t any school activities, a show at the Pioneer Theater is good entertainment. Ron’s Rec Room has just opened this year, and it is full of foosball, pinball, pool, and other challenging games to entertain yourself while out of school. THIS PAGE LEFT: Safeway, the meeting place.

County (iovernment Spring Musial...... Assemblies......... Fine Arts.......... V Homecoming ‘77: A sign of victory A victory over the Syracuse Rockets was the climax of Homecoming week. It was a week of spirited activity and great anticipation leading to an 18-0 triumph. “Sock it to 'em” was the theme for the first day of Homecoming week. Pant legs were worn rolled up to display various styles of socks. Spirit was raised by a pyramid building contest. Tuesday’s theme was “Hats off to the Pioneers.” Hats ranged from a top hat to a cowboy hat. Strength and endurance were shown by many through the obstacle course. The band Free Fare performed Wednesday and was an unexpected highlight to Homecoming week. “Starwars,” a battle between the Pioneers and the Rockets, was the theme of the teachers’ skit. T-shirts were the rule of the day. A small-scale version of the gong show was the competition Thursday. Clothes were worn inside-out. Friday was a gloomy, rainy day but spirit and enthusiasm was high. “A Sign of Victory” was Friday’s theme. Signs plastering the walls were the result of hours of hard work put in by both students and faculty. Friday’s pep rally was a colorful event with most dressed in purple and gold. Kissing the pig” was a new adventure of Homecoming week. Rain was still falling at 1:00 when school was dismissed to prepare for the parade. It was feared that the parade would be cancelled, but by 1:30 it had stopped raining and the parade was still on. By 7:00 p.m. crowds had gathered at the Syracuse football field, with a great deal of excitement and high anticipation for the game to begin. After the game people rushed to get to the dance on time. Spirit was high as the dance got underway. The climax of the evening was the crowning of the King and Queen. 10 J TOP CENTER: Juniors display a wish for victory during sign day.

Letterwinners.... Pioneers overcome obstacles to win Experience proved to be valuable as the Nebraska City football team overcame various obstacles to finish the season with a 7-2 record, the best in fifteen years. Untimely rains forced the Pioneers to play in the mud and due to the incompletion of the football field, the team lacked a home field. “Home’ games were played at the Peru State College stadium. The Pioneers lost to only one Twin Rivers Conference team, that being Blair, and were well represented with seven seniors named to the All-Conference team. They were Keaton Beaumont, Larry Hathaway, Marty Haverty, Mitch Krenk, Dave Lacy, Bill Petersen, and Steve Saathoff. Mitch Krenk was also named to the Honorable Mention State Class B team along with sophomore Scott Porter. TOP RIGHT: Coaches Maskell and Choutka pace the sideline as players look on.

Coached by Dan Ostransky and Duane Choutka the reserve Pioneers played all their games away. Despite this disadvantage they finished with a 4-1 record. Victories were over Auburn, Falls City, Plattsmouth, and Syracuse and the only loss was to Lincoln East. The team consisted of sophomores and juniors. Under Coach Richard Gibson, the freshmen Pioneers finished the season with a 2-3 record. The freshmen were victorious over Syracuse and Falls City.

Under new head coach Vicki Wilken, the girls won the second place trophy at the Syracuse tournament and placed fourth at the Twin Rivers Conference tournament. Their season record was 10-6 and with the majority of the team underclassmen, the outlook for next year is also good. High scorers for the season were Peg Fielder, with a total of 94 points, and Lori Moles with 93. Other individual standouts were Cheryl Blakeman, leading in sets, and Deanna Hauptman, most spikes. Four juniors received Twin Rivers Conference recognition. Cheryl Blakeman and Deanna Hauptman were named to the All-Conference team and Jane Porter and Peg Fielder received Honorable Mentions.

There were three seniors on the squad, Regelio Aldana, Ken Smith, and Roger Beccard, who were responsible for leading the others to victory. In duals the Pioneers won two, against Falls City and Syracuse, and lost only one to Auburn. They also did well in invitationals. They placed third in the Falls City Invitational and fifth at the Syracuse Invitational. In both the Twin Rivers and District tournaments they placed fifth also. Returning varsity for next year will be Lonnie Mead, Mike Lechner, Robert Hartman, Richard Hickey, and Brian LaMaster. With these returning, cross country should have another successful year.

The boys who placed were: singles, Nile Farris and Mark Bruening, second; and doubles, Randy Edmisten and Tom Brockley, first, and Greg Lima and Jamie Mann, second. This marks the first year that the tennis team has placed in a major invitational. This year’s team was young, but Coach Rathe is looking forward to a much more experienced team next fall. Returning starters will be Mark Bruening, Randy Edmisten, Tom Brockley, Greg Lima, and Jamie Mann. TOP: Tennis team members are, L to R: Mike Nebelsick, Shawn Ostransky.

Headed by coach Ron Brunken, the girls ended the year with a 4-10 record. Competition within the conference was tough. During the season three conference teams were rated in state, those being Auburn, Syracuse, and Blair. The girls' basketball team participated in two tournaments, Twin Rivers Conference and Districts. At the conference tournament the girls drew a strong Auburn team and lost their opening game. Nebraska City was host for the District tournament, but even with the home court advantage they lost to Syracuse in the first round. TOP LEFT: Terri Snyder prepares to throw the ball into play.

Jane Porter also received recognition as she was named on the Honorable Mention list. The reserve girls' basketball team played a full schedule and finished the season with an average 5-5 win-loss record. The reserve team was coached by Kent Heckman. Leading scorers for the season were Jeannea Beaumont with 83 points and Diane McCown with a total of 40 points. TOP LEFT: Jane Porter looks for a teammate to pass to.

Fairbury, the State B Champs, contributed to two of the Pioneers' losses. The team improved immensely as the season progressed. They came close to many of their opponents. The Pioneers worked together and played close and exciting games. The team got spirit going in the crowd, and victories were never forgotten. Mitch Krenk was named to the All-Conference Basketball Team. Curt Kreifels and Rich Wilberger were Honorable Mention. Overall, the Pioneers put up a good tough season, and ended up with a 7-11 record. The varsity squad will be losing many seniors, but there are many underclassmen coming back. The team dedicated the Falls City game ball, which they all signed, to Mr. Holliway. LEFT: Mitch Krenk stuffs the hall. TOP RIGHT: Rich Wilberger shoots for two in the Fairbury game.

They lost their first four games, but they did come back, and ended the season with a 6-8 record. The guys lost several of their games by one or two points. Probably the best part of their season was when they beat Fairbury by 2 points. Coach Ostransky said he felt the team was mentally ready for that game. He said it’s quite an accomplishment to beat Fairbury. Bret Clark and Scott Porter were the two most consistent players. Bret averaged 11.82 points per game, and Scott averaged 11.46 points per game. But it takes the whole team to get the job done. The reserve’s season ended in success. LEFT BOTTOM: Jody Hermann stuns the Blair Bears. TOP: Both teams struggle to get the ball. Cheerleaders support the teams. The 1977-’78 cheerleaders got off to an enthusiastic start by winning first place and most spirited squad at the ASCC (All Star Cheerleading Camp) in Peru, Nebraska. The Booster Club provided money to help make camp possible this year. The cheerleaders sold variety contemporary cards for a money-making project to help buy treats and pay for pep rally expenses. Traveling became very familiar to the girls since the home football games were held on the Peru State College football field. Syracuse hosted our Homecoming game on their field, September 23. This is the second year that NCHS has had girls’ sports cheerleaders. These four girls cheered for girls' volleyball and basketball teams. They cheered the volleyball team on to a second place victory at the Syracuse Tournament. The girls’ basketball team held their Parents’ Night February 9. The four wrestling cheerleaders followed their boys to a district championship and second in conference.

Head coach Paul Stevenson, assistant coach A1 Schnitzer, and the Pioneer wrestlers brought home a trophy from every invitational they attended. The wrestlers were equally successful in their duals by finishing the season with an 8-2 record. The year was started off right at the Auburn Invitational where the team took the number 1 trophy and five individuals earned first place honors. The wrestlers followed this victory with three second place trophies won at the Springfield-Platteview, Sidney, and Twin Rivers Conference Invitationals. The Pioneers ended the regular season as they started it by bringing home the first place team trophy from the District Invitational held in Plattsmouth.

The team is young, so they will be looking for a good season next year. Because the new track was not yet completed, the track team practiced in the school, and toward the end of the season they would bus two different loads of tracksters to Syracuse to practice each day. It seemed that whenever there was a track meet this year it would rain, but the team stuck it out and did their best. Seven boys went to state this year in five events. They were Rich Wilberger, Mitch Krenk, Lonnie Mead, Jim Eilers, Jim Cooper, Mike Teten, and Steve Saathoff. The events were the triple jump, discus, two-mile run, 180-low hurdles, and the 880-relay. s From left to right, top row: Jim Filers, Richard Wilberger, Don Lechner, Mike Teten, Jim Cooper, Mark Sharp.

New track coach for girls named The NCHS girls’ track team had a new track coach this year, Mr. Larry Hummel. Because the new football field and track were not yet completed, the girls had to work under the handicap of practicing other places. They ran inside until it was warm outdoors, then they went out and usually ran through Arbor Lodge Park. The girls said they knew every part of the park and every shortcut which the coach didn’t know of. Even without a track of their own, the girls’ team had a very good season. They got seventh in the Peru Invitational. Many of the girls came home with medals, ribbons, and severe sunburns. That track meet was the only one in which the sun shone and the temperature was above 55 degrees. At every track meet, the girls set at least one new school record. The records are: -Julie Hermann, high jump, 5’1 ; Susan Stroud, mile run, 6:57.5; Jane Porter, 80-yd. lows, 11.9; Jane Porter, Nadine Konfrst, Julie Hermann, Teresa Wright, 880-relay, 1:53.6, and the mile relay, 4:17.2; Joni Yamauchi, Delphena Soriano, Susan Stroud, and Valerie VanderVeen, two-mile relay, 12:17.1.

It was kind of a comedy at first, but they did improve. The girls weren’t able to compete in regular meets, but they did practice everyday with the team. The results for the season were winning dual competition with Auburn (here) and Rock Port. Their duals were at Waverly, Falls City, Auburn, Shenandoah, and Syracuse. NC placed second in the triangular at Beatrice, and came in 3rd with Syracuse and Plattsmouth at the triangular here. Kevin Withee finished the season with a 9th place medal in districts.

Kathy Nincehelser and her mother are only one of the many parent-student combinations that attended. The janitors perform a much-needed and sometimes overlooked service to the school by keeping it in good repair. The hot lunch personnel provide a wide variety of nutritious meals for students to eat. Teachers make school enjoyable Mrs. Yearsley has, as usual, been busy this year with her special education classes. Mrs. Brockley gives her assistance with the classes.

Graduation .... Senior Summary Index ......... Freshmen have a good year; Freshmen look foward to senior high, but have had lots of good times at junior high. For some, the move won’t be so drastic, because many of the freshmen have classes at the senior high this year. Some are vocatonal agricultural classes, choir, P.E., and some industrial arts classes. For other freshmen, however, senior high will be a whole new start. The ninth graders have many things to be proud of, like their participation in a variety of activities. The freshmen football and basketball teams had good seasons. Many freshmen went out for wrestling, with two earning varsity letters. The girls’ track team also had many ninth graders who broke school records in the high jump and relays. Several freshmen participated in the NCHS spring musical, “The Music Man. Many were also active in organizations such as FFA, FBLA, FCA, choir and band.
