1 Everything is “NEW and IMPROVED” “New and Improved” characterized the 1980-81 school year. The year started with some new faces, not all of which were students. New teachers were added to the administration while other teachers returned for another year. “Teachers learn more and more from the students every year we are here,” said Sheryl Gundlach, English teacher, about the returning teachers. The athletes stepped into a new conference, “Eastern Midlands”. Most of the teams were new to the school. A new decade began as the school started a new century with the 101st graduating class. So, almost everything was new and improved. Top left: Rhonda Maddox and Melissa Searcy display the victory bell. Bottom left: Don Straw. Richard Sciranko. and Doug Pummel, work hard in electricity.

Town’s Appearance Improves Nebraska City improved its appearance by adding a new McDonald’s and Alco Discount Center. These new businesses brought many people into the city. The Pioneer Theater gave birth to twins this year, and then added one more cinema, making it triplets. Outside the city, it was election year. The new president of the United States, Ronald Reagan, had the winning vote by a landslide over past-president Jimmy Carter. The main concern of everyone was the nightmare of the hostages being held in Iran. Then, on January 20, 1981, the day of Reagan’s Inauguration, the hostages were released. It is a memory the year 1981 will always bring back. 4 • Homecoming • FFA Sweetheart Dance • Fall Play • Holiday Dance • Spring Play • Fun Night • Prom • Honors Convocation • Fine Arts Festival • Athletic Banquet Homecoming: Enthusiastic New enthusiasm characterized the 1980-’81 Homecoming week. More people became involved in the contests than in previous years. This year included the first street pep rally from NCHS. The pep rallies were crazy, which fired up everyone for the Homecoming Week. Monday, the Seniors had the most enthusiasm for hat, tie, and shades day. Tuesday the juniors had to sweat-to-win during sweat-em-up day. Wednesday was cowboy and cowgirl day. Everyone rounded up in the gym for a pyramid contest that the Seniors won. Thursday was twin day. Many were involved in dressing like someone else. The Seniors and the Teachers tied for first place. Thursday evening was filled with a lot of enthusiasm as NCHS had its first street rally held between main street and First Avenue beside the Farmers Bank. This included a tricycle race the juniors won. Friday was Purple and Gold day. Everyone wore Purple and Gold to show their spirit behind their team. Left: Jeff Newby and Jim O'Bryan on Twin Day.

This whimsical comedy by Eddie Cope centers on a New York detective, played by Brad Potter, who is trying to write a book on the same format as Agatha Christie. The story unfolds with a rich young man named Monte Brainard, played by Mitch Martineau, who is framed for illegally marrying a stripper, played by Kathy Neumann, and an ice cream dipper, played by Denise Graham. Never having actually committed these acts, he can’t remember them. For this supposed lapse of memory, his cousin Ruperta, played by Gayle Yamauchi, has deemed him incompetent and tries to take over his assets. The two women he supposedly married are trying to blackmail him, and his own lawyer, played by Phil Brawner, is in on the deal, trying to extricate money from him. The play closes as Monte Brainard finally discovers that his real girlfriend, played by Deanna Hall, is the master-mind behind the whole incident. 11 Top left: Waldo, played by Phil Lutz, is talking over problems with his master, Monte Brainard Above: Cast members, back row, from left to right: John Davis.

It involved over 60 of the students in the school, of these involved only 35 actually performed. Mr. Farrell, vocal music director, and Mrs. Chris Dietz felt the school was ready for a musical, and so they produced it. “We had a great bunch of kids to work with,” said Mr. Farrell. They all did their part very well, and that made my work a lot easier. “The play was a big success in my eyes, but with directors like Mr. Farrell and Mrs. Dietz what could you expect, said Tim Konvalin, male lead singer of the play. “The stage crew, lighting crew, chorus, and makeup crew were all fantastic. Over 800 people attended the production. “The crowd Friday night was great and the standing ovation made it all well worth the work. Then with a standing ovation on Saturday, it made me wish we had another performance, Tim said. “The minor parts really put the play together and supported the lead parts, Mr. Farrell said. “The chorus did a good job considering the amount of work they had put on them. “All the other characters were great to work with, but I especially enjoyed working with Toni Taylor. She did a great job as Annie, the female lead. As I said before, the play was a great success! Tim said. Annie ....................... Toni Taylor Frank .......................

It was lead by the State Champions, the Waverly Vikings. Senior tackle Larry Beccard was the only Pioneer to be chosen to the All-Conference first team. Senior quarterback Roger Kennell, senior tight-end Bob Barrett, and junior linebacker Chad Daffer were honorable mention selections. The year proved to be one of injuries as well as disappointment for the Pioneers. “It seemed as though every week we had two or three starters miss the game or be at only half speed,” senior fullback Larry Farris said. “Too many mistakes kept us out of the winning bracket,” senior quarterback Roger Kennell said. Although the team did not have a winning season, the team continued to work hard. “This team showed character all year. When things looked bad, they never gave up,” Coach Loyd Masked said. After the season was over, the players selected Larry Beccard and Dave Theisfeld as honorary cocaptains. Roger Kennell was selected as the most valuable player for the season. The 1980 season ended with a victory on Halloween night at Pioneer Field against Plattsmouth by a score of 9-6.

This year's record for the team was 0-2, losing to Falls City and Plattsmouth in dual competition. Nebraska City participated in two duals and three invitationals. “In a dual we run everybody,” Coach John Barton said. “The problem with this was the number of runners out. We would have done much better if some (more) were out.” Nebraska City was in a poor situation for its size, according to Coach Barton. Nebraska City had only five runners while other schools usually had 10 to 15 runners, he said. Barton named Plattsmouth and Pius X as a few of the tough competitors in Nebraska City's district this year. Falls City Lost Plattsmouth Lost F. C.

Because of these injuries the team did not have a winning season, but the team continued to work hard. Two players were out for most of the season. Rick Wolstenholm was out with a knee injury and Jeff Marcotte was out due to an illness. Most of the other players were out off and on all season. “After we got a win against Springfield-Platteview, I think we developed a little more confidence,” said Coach Larry Moore. “We played with a lot of confidence. We beat them on Tuesday night, and then came back on a Friday night and beat a tough Blair team. I think after the wins, the boys started to get some confidence in themselves.” “The team played 7 of 19 games with everyone healthy. When you’re 5-14, your very disappointed. But overall, I think the boys kept a good attitude. They kept working hard. The thing that hurt us was injuries,” Coach Larry Moore said. Two of the team members were given awards. Bob Barrett was named Most Valuable Player, and Kelly Kriefels was named Most Improved Player. s ■ !' | rod Team members include: front row: Ron Brockhaus. Roger Rompf.

At the end of the season the team was rated 8th in offensive scoring in the state. “We had a very successful season,” Julie Hermann said, “a real record breaking year.” ‘‘There was depth in the team that didn’t show on the score board,” Coach Runkels said. “A few major injuries toward the end of the season held the team back.” The competition got tougher toward the end of the season according to Coach Runkels. “The girls never gave up during close ball games,’’ he said. The team was led by all-conference and all area first team members Julie Hermann and Betty Nienkamp. Both girls were named Honorable mention all-state by the World Herald, and both broke the yearly scoring record. Julie Hermann was also the first team member ever to play in the Nebraska Coca-Cola all star classic. Team Members include, front row: Rhonda Schreiner, Gretchen Nienkamp. Suzan Stroud.

The wrestling team worked hard the 1980-81 season, according to Coach Allen Schnitzer, but the new conference proved to be quite a challenge for them. Despite the size of the team, experience among the members was lacking. This year’s team is mostly underclassmen, but by gaining a years’ experience, they will be much better next year,” said Coach Schnitzer. Coach Schnitzer predicted that some of his players would go to State. Dale Clymens and Chris Hotsenpillar did each qualify to go by being in the top four of the district. Dale earned second place, and Chris earned a fourth place at the District B-1 Tournament held in Crete. Although we didn’t win a lot this year, I feel personally, and for the team, that we did improve tremendously throughout the year. We had quite a few matches where we came close to winning, but we just didn’t quite get there,” stated senior Dave Thiesfeld. LEFT: Coaches Allen Schnitzer and Ron Booth watch their wrestlers.

The NCHS track team had little experience having only two seniors and it showed. “The lack of senior leadership was a problem this year, however, the younger members performed admirably under the circumstances,” coach Barton said. “Next year we will bring back 17 letter winners.” The team sent five members to the state meet in Lincoln on May 22nd and 23rd. They were Marty Albrecht in the 300 intermediate hurdles, Doug Ailes in the 800 and the 3200 m relay team of Ailes, Jon Dawson, Jose Aldana, and Ryan Kennell. V ’ -i - A ft.---------i .

State qualifiers were: Linda Kasbohm - discus, Julie Hermann -high jump, and Betty Nienkamp, Kathy Neumann, Holly Lima, and Julie Hermann - relay, which placed sixth.

At the Crete invitational Jeff Marcotte placed ninth for the Pioneers. At the Class B, District 1 tourney, Jeff Marcotte took eighth place and Mike Steiner ninth place. The biggest change this year was the new Eastern Midlands conference. The only thing that has really changed for us is the new schools. Before, we have never played against them in a dual, Coach Jim Brockhaus said, About the only times we’ve competed against them were in invitationals. The new conference is very competitive, academically and athletically. Top: Team members include: back row, John Nebelsick, Doug Barrett. David Hemphill, Larry Farris, Jeff Marcotte. Bob Barrett.

The boys have been entertaining audiences for several years, but this year the girls stepped onto the courts. There were four girls’ teams which played on Sunday afternoons and seven boys’ teams who played on Monday evenings. ‘‘This gives people who have to work after school a chance to participate in sports.” said Hoser Todd Mather. The girls teams were: OFIMA, Bouncin' Beauties, Bruisers, and the Hosees. The boys’ teams were: Hosers, Leaks, Speedwagon, Bud Duds, Longshots, Flying Aces, and the Rebels. The Hosers took the boys’ league championship, and the Hosees took the girls. “I think everyone enjoyed intramural basketball, and I know we all had a lot of fun trying to play,” said OFIMA player Gayle Yamauchi.

They sold doughnuts and milk beginning at 7:30 in the morning until 8:00 when the first period of the day began. They sold them for seven weeks. They raised money for the career conference by selling decorative canisters filled with popcorn. During the holiday season they sold many different varieties of Christmas cards. With the money they earned, they went to the Nebraska State Career Development Conference held in Omaha on March 19-21. The DECA members came back from Omaha for Fun Night; some members worked at their booth “the corkgun” while others were in the Fun Night skit, “Computer Dating Service” held on March 20. They went back to the convention the following day. They worked at food concession stands for basketball and also sold concessions to the Science Fair participants. They learned a lot about business management, working with people and learning to cooperate with all types of people. “We’ve learned a lot about marketing, management and employer-employee relations. This may become helpful when we find jobs,” said Phyllis Anderson, a DECA member. Mr. Bob Rathe was this year’s DECA sponser, he also teaches business classes at the Senior High.

They held a Career Conference to help students learn more information about careers and colleges. At the end of the year they sponsored the Honors Night, where students recieve honors and recognition they recieved throughout the year. “I think we had a lot of worthwhile activities and I hope the school appreciates them.

Laa 67 FCA Focus is Common Bond A common bond was the main focus of this year’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The common bond resulted in a great increase in membership, a 600% improvement from past years. “The common bond is Jesus Christ”, said Scott Maskell, four year FCA member. “Those who trust in Jesus Christ have a better understanding of spiritual matters because they are three dimensional (body, soul, and living spirit) while others are two dimensional (body and soul)”. There are numerous purposes of FCA, according to Dan Ostransky, assistant FCA huddle leader. “Basically it’s to pave an avenue of realization that all talents are God given and should be used for his glory with all the credit due to him”, he said. “It’s a catalyst”, said Julie Hermann. Her relationship with Christ and FCA has helped her with discipline, winning, losing, determination, and team work, she said. The FCA huddle has grown from six to forty, FCA huddle leader Jim Brockhaus said. “Many students start out with an interest in athletics and end up with an interest in Christ”, he said.

Student .Council's calendar was filled with many events and fund raisers this year. To start off the school year, they held the annual Homecoming dance and parade. They bought medallions and necklaces for the king and queen candidates. They met many other Nebraska Student Councils at the Student Council State Convention in Bellevue, Nebraska held at Bellevue West High School on November 6-7. To add a bit of holiday cheer to the school halls, they decorated a Christmas tree and set it in the east commons area. Fun Nite was next on their agenda, they sponsored the carnival and dance. The Student Council District Convention was held on the same day. The councils were invited to see how Fun Nite was run. This is the Council's biggest fund raiser. “I was well pleased with all the performance of the members of Student Council. They carried through with their responsibility of leadership with excellence,” said Mr. Bill Abernathy the Student Council sponsor. They’ve contributed money to groups and individuals. They gave $50 to the Science Fair and donated $25 to the Arbor Day fund and planted two trees on the school grounds. Deanna Hall and Jerry Attebery received $100 each to help with their state trips for FBLA and DECA respectively. Student Council also bought three new tables for concession stands.

Anyone involved in 1980-81 yearbook class, and a large majority of the rest of the students, will long remember this catchy little tune. Along with singing this tune over the intercom, the yearbook students made signs and did a skit at a pep rally to advertise yearbook sales days. The students worked hard and put a lot of imaginative thinking into their campaign, just as they did producing them. “With the yearbook just coming back into the school this year, we had very little experience, so it took us a while to get going. But once we started rolling, it was down hill the rest of the way,” said Editor Debbie Lima. Five Senior staff members went to the Nebraska High School Press Association Fall convention in Lincoln. They learned more about basic layouts and principal designs. Besides selling and producing yearbooks, the students sold concessions at several school activities, made a float for the Homecoming Parade, crowned the Fun Night King and Queen, and decorated for the Holiday Dance. But between all their hard work and frustration, the yearbook staff still had time to sing. Top: Yearbook members discuss copy ideas.

Journalism instructor, Mrs. Wendy Huffman, said the school needed a school newspaper, and she wanted to help get the Otoean going again. Because of her experience, Shelly Herzog was appointed as the Otoean editor. The reporters were Jim Rowe, Debbie Calvert, Mary Gress and Shelly Herzog. The photographers were Scott Lechner, Steve Magnnum and Lisa Davison. The Otoean covered stories of different happenings around school. The Otoean could not have been produced had it not been for the Nebraska City News-Press and editor David Flood. Once every two weeks, one page was designated for the Otoean. The Otoean will resume publishing for the 1981-82 school year. ABOVE: Wendy Huffman assists Mary Gress and Shelly Herzog. LEFT: Shelly Herzog. Otoean editor, takes time out for a picture.

This is due to younger athletes winning letters. The Letterwinners are a group of people who have achieved excellence in the field of athletics.

They also performed for WOTA, Rotary, Matrons of the Masonic Temple Hayward and Northside Schools, Fun Night, and the Stage Band and Swing Choir Concerts. “The swing choir has made a 100 percent improvement from the beginning of the year,’’ said Tom Farrell, director. “Each of the members are very talented and each of them have their strong points.’’ TOP: Swing Choir performs at Fun Night.

Mr. Tom Farrell assumed his first teaching position during the fall of 1980. “I love this town and the people in it,” he said, “more than I expected from a small town.” The choir started their year with their first concert on November 4th. Other performances included: Conference choir, WOTA, Vespers concert and their final project, “Annie get your gun.” Selected for the All - State choir was a junior alto, Debbie Weible. And, chosen for the Weslyen Honor Choir, was Tim Konvalin, a senior bass. As to the future, Mr. Farrell said, “We’ll just keep improving and try to be the best choir we possibly can.” This Page: above: Mr. Tom Farrell, director. Below: choir sings for WOTA.

Their sponsor was Luanne Kreifels, a business teacher at the Senior High. They sold Pioneer key chains for a $1.00. They had their yearly initiation picnic and had FBLA meetings for almost every holiday of the year, including a Halloween party and a Christmas party in which they had Secret Santas. At Christmas, they were Santas' helpers. They put pennies in the parking meters uptown for all the Christmas shoppers. The pennies were donated by the Chamber of Commerce. They went to the State Leadership Convention in Omaha on April 2-4. Sally Giittinger got an honorable mention in Typing One Knowledge and Deanna Hall placed first in the category of Public Speaking and Economics, she also received trophies in each event. Deanna represented the Nebraska FBLA chapter at the National Leadership Conference in Chicago on July 1-5. “I was surprised to get a couple of trophies. I’m glad because now we get to go to the National Leadership Conference which is a new experience for me,” said Deanna Hall. On the last day before Christmas vacation they gave all the students and staff members a candy cane. They had a joint FBLA-FHA dinner banquet held on April 13, in which they named the newly elected officers. “We did some different activities than we've done in other years and hopefully will get some more new ideas,” said Deanna Hall an FBLA member. 80 Opposite page: Top: Sally Giittinger talks to Miss Kreifels.

But, the cheerleaders were not the only members of NCHS overflowing with spirit. Along with the cheerleaders, the entire student body was included in the spirit. The enthusiasm of the students greatly improved over past years. Let’s Get Rowdy and Another One Bites the Dust were popular chants that aroused spirit in the students.

Pride of the Pioneers Marching Band marched on the field. Halt 1-2! The band heaved a sigh of relief. The Pioneers marched off the field with a “2” rating. It was an instant replay of the week before at the Plattsmouth marching contest when the band also got a “2” rating. The band played at many sports activities including girls’ and boy’s basketball games and volleyball games. They also performed 5 halftime and pregame shows for all home football games. “I think it (spirit) is better and still improving,” Mr. Jerry Harrenstein the Senior High Band Director said. The band also played at all the pep rallies and marched in four parades. With little time for rehearsal the Pride of the Pioneers Band started off the season by marching in the Otoe County Parade in Syracuse. Then they marched in the annual Apple Jack parade which is judged yearly for marching performance and playing ability, but they didn’t place in the competition. They marched in the Arbor Day parade, helping celebrate Nebraska City’s Arbor Day. The band also marched in the Nebraska City High School Homecoming parade. I was pleased with the attitude of the marching band. We had several successful home halftime shows and placed well in our marching competitions,” Mr. Jerry Harrenstein said. The band had three concerts this year. Including the Fall concert, a Winter concert and a pre-contest concert preparing themselves for the District Music Contest. Mr. Harrenstein said the band has made a great achievement this year. “Attitude improved. I have not had to discipline anyone for missing concerts,” he said. “It makes band much more enjoyable for me.” This is the first year for about two years that Freshman weren’t included in the band. “The band is smaller but I feel that Freshmen are needed at the Junior High,” Mr. Harrenstein said. “Senior High can be hindered by large numbers.” The Band and Drill Team Members: First row, left to right: Randy Walters.

Early practices were a necessity for the contests and concerts they participated in. They were involved in the Westside Jazz Festival, District Music Contest, Conference Clinic, Stage Band and Swing Choir Concert and Fun Night. ‘‘Stage Band is a very talented group of musicians. Although practice time was limited, this group has done very well at contests and concerts this spring,” said Jerry Harrenstein, director. ABOVE: Jim Stehlik plays the blues.

They had their required classes that they had to take, of course, but they had the choice of electives. Freshmen had the choice of Home Ec., FFA, and many other classes. Another new experience was having some classes at the high school. The freshmen also got to choose to go to school at 9:00 or to get out at 2:00 instead of going at 8:00 and getting out at 3:00. Freshmen were getting highly involved in high school activities. They were able to go to dances, get involved in sports, and many other fun activities. “We really like our first year of high school,” Teresa Resseguie and Scott Griepenstroh said. “We really like having some classes out at the high school. It makes the day a little different.” “We have a lot of school support. The kids come to the games to root us on even if we lose,” Chris Winkler said. “We also have moral spirit because we try to support each other as much as we can.” Jose Aldana Bret Allgood Bonnie Anderson Lyle Babcock Tom Baker Doug Barrett LuAnn Baucke Cheryl Behrns Kim Boan Ted Bonebrake Tim Bottcher Mary Boyer Jim Bradshaw Bill Breazile Could Mike Randall, looking up, be trying to study his Civics in Mr. Novak's class? 88 Dallas Brixey Steve Broers Paul Bruening Janene Chamberlain Greg Conz Larry Conz Tim Cravens Laura Cunningham Doreen Davis Brent Denniston Kevin Driever Bill Dunn Shelly Easter Monty Eaton Pat Eilers Richard Flint Bret Ford Jean Fox Virgil Fox Kris Gottula Dale Gray Viki Grefsrud Scott Griepenstroh Laura Gruber Deborah Hall Wendy Harger Laurie Hellerich Linda Hellerich David Hemphill Michael Herr 89 Jill Hermann Kevin Hespen John Hofer Teresa Hollens Sandy Horner Julie Howell Paul Huss Dan Jarrett Pat Jewell Kelley Jose Kevin Kamalieh Ryan Kennell Christine King Billy Kinnison Dennis Knapp Joan Krejci Roy Lee Holly Lima Allison Luppen Pam Lutz Mark Marcotte 90 Virgil Fox makes a quick stop at his locker on the way to his next class.

Passing a class was important because if they failed, no credits, then they would have more hard work. It was not all work. They had their study halls to talk to friends, read, or do what they wanted. There Mjke Riege was time for relaxing during lunch.

For the first week of school, they walked through the halls with confusion trying to find all their classes. But gradually they became more familiar with the other students and the activities. All of the organizations were out to recruit these new students and Sophomores began to be more involved in school and the activities. Because the Sophomores were new and were trying to get into the flow, they weren’t given to many responsibilities. Their major task was collecting boxes for the Homecoming bon-fire, but that was taken out of the week’s fun filled activities. They filled their time with sports, plays, and many clubs. This year, Sophomores made up a big part of the letter-winners. They showed their talent in “Annie Get Your Gun’’ and “Agatha Cristy Made Me Do It,” and the clubs were filled with many Sophomores. In sports, according to Mr. Os-transky, Sophomores tend to slack back instead of striving forward because they didn’t want to make waves with the Juniors and Seniors. “Not all of the Sophomores that went out for sports worked hard because they didn’t know the routine or how the system was run,” Kelly Kreifels Class Pres. said. “After working all together, they found out their roll and that everyone must participate to get the job done.

Not pictured, Ross Hickey. With the lid bill lifted off Nebraska City High School, the Juniors of N.C.H.S. had a lot of things to look forward to their Senior year. The Juniors picked their own classes, that they wanted to take as Seniors, at the end of the school year. Scheduling the classes was done differently than in the past. Mr. Dennis Curtis was in charge of all class scheduling for the next year. Ideas of college were also on a few Juniors’ minds. The Juniors were told to have a good idea of what they wanted to do when they got out of school, and try to find some information about colleges that appealed to them. The Juniors were involved in a lot of activities this year. The first part of the school year, the Juniors were told that they were to be in charge of the annual prom. Three months of planning by a Junior prom committee went into discuss possible fund raisers to raise enough money to pay for prom decorations. Raffling off a 100 gallons of gas to be given away brought money for the prom. The winner was announced during halftime of the Homecoming football game. During Homecoming week, the Juniors took part in the week full of contest to show off their spirit for the school and for the team. The Juniors’ big win for the week was winning the tricycle race during a pep rally which was held the night before the game on Main Street.

Trying to decide what to do after you graduate isn’t an easy task. Do I want to go on to college, get a full-time job, bum around, or get married?” These were the most common ques- tions for Seniors. There’s a lot of questions, but if dreams and intentions come true, these NCHS students will be headed in several directions. I’m going to Oregon for two years, then on to Airline school in Texas, Leesia Schreiner said. Mike Steiner plans to be involved in the education system as a teacher or an administrator. I don’t plan to be rich,” Mike said. Bill Curtis said someday he plans to be a state patrolman. ”1 plan on playing volleyball through my eligibility years and continue a six year study of architecture,’ Julie Hermann said.

Extra-curricular activities add alot to the meaningful last year of high school. Many Seniors get involved with various sports, clubs, and activities. It is not unusual to see students at 7:30 in the morning for a meeting, stage band, or swing choir. Some, then, do not leave for home until late after long practices, either sports, plays, cheerleading, etc. “As a general rule, participation in extra-curricular activities is poor, but those who do participate have good attitudes about school,” Principal Erwin Friesen said.

Ten years ago these words were part of the American teenager’s language. But as every generation comes and rearranges the style so too, do they change the slang that depicts them. Many of the words used reflected the changing attitude of the 1980 student. Just having fun seemed to be the main objective of the students and this fun included some different lingo: Oh schtuff, whatta bonus, hairless, I’m sure, massive, to the big time, good to hear from ya, I’m talkin’ rude, crude and socially unexceptable, putta lid on it, oh dece, and excuse ’em moi. They’re all there and they’re all part of what made 1981 students unique without the jargon they would not have been complete. Several things contributed to what made 1981 different and two of these were clothing styles and music. Flannel shirts, long johns, hiking boots, tight jeans and cowboy hats and boots all reflected the mood of 1981. New and different singing groups faded in and out of view. Students heard names like REO Speedwagon, Devo, Blondie, and AC DC. Times change and with them the fads, styles, jargon and the people that make them something. It could be said that 1981 was unique by any standards.

Jobs play a very important role in students lives today, according to NCHS Principal Erwin Friesen. Without a job, many students would not be able to participate in activities at or away from school. Many students have jobs so they can pay for their car, buy clothes, continue their education and enjoy life with a few luxuries. It is familiar to hear the dismal voice of a student saying they can’t go to the game because “I’ve got to work tonight.” Opposite Page, Top Right: Dean Gress, Mike Nebelsick. and Jeff Pierce fool around in Big Mac.

As the graduation ceremony began on May 17, 1981, the traditional ‘Pomp and Circumstance” was played by the Nebraska City High School Band under the direction of Mr. Jerry Harrenstein. Following the processional, Father Anthony Kraft, the priest at St. Benedict's Catholic Church, delivered the invocation. In answer to the invocation, the Nebraska City High School Choir sang “Precious Lord under the direction of Mr. Tom Farrell. Honor addresses were given by Deanna Hall, Gayle Yamauchi, Shelly Herzog, and Julie Bogle. These girls were the top four grade point holders in their class as of the end of the first semester of this year. After diplomas were distributed to the seniors and benediction was said by Father Kraft, the ceremony was ended when the senior class of 1981 marched out of the gym for the last time. 130 Opposite page - Bottom left: Father Kraft talks to the seniors, top right: Toni Taylor and Tim Konvalin sing a duet.

Above: The seniors are MILES STONES IN Mr. Abernathy Reaches Silver Year He's been sitting in that chair for a long time, either signing make-up slips, initialing passes or organizing activities. It’s a position he’s held for 25 years. He’s been there because he likes working with kids, he said. Mr. Abernathy, the assistant principal, reached 25 years of service and association with NCHS this year. He’s taught many classes through the years: advanced typing, business math. He currently teaches the accounting, and intro to business classes. Through the years I think the only change in the curriculum has been that it has expanded to meet the needs of the students, he said. “I feel the new teachers are better or as well qualified as the more experienced faculty members”. In twenty-five years the school and community would have seemed to change, but Mr. Abernathy feels there really hasn’t been any substantial changes except a lack of support in the school partially because of the lid. I feel that maybe the lid was an indication to how the community supports us, Mr. Abernathy said. To take a look around his office the results, efforts, and satisfaction he’s received in his career of teaching sit on his cabinets. He's an honorary member of the Future Farmers of America and Distributive Education Clubs of America. A large plaque reads: In appreciation of 24 years of service and support to students and faculty at NCHS. 25 years is a long time of dedication, but he said he’s in it for the kids. Mr. Brockhaus Kept Busy He's on the phone again. That’s where he’s usually found. Mr. Brockhaus, the athletic director will, on several occasions be found scheduling, checking up, and conferring. He's always kept busy either teaching girls’ and boys’ P.E. classes, refereeing a basketball or football game, or coaching his championship baseball teams. Mr. Brockhaus has been a part of the Nebraska City High School faculty for fifteen years. He began the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in 1967 and has sponsored boys and girls huddles since then. He’s seen and observed a lot of changes in the school and community. There’s less interest in activities and the students are more concerned with working and getting out on their own,” he said. “The community realizes that they can’t put a lid on education; education has to keep expanding, he added. He's been teaching a total of 23 years, and he enjoys watching students change and mature he said. I enjoy my profession, all 23 years of it. Seeing a child progress to an adult and becoming an asset in the community is my reward, he said. “I feel there’s more pressure on students today than ever. High school should be a growing and fun time,” Mr. Brockhaus said. He said the most noticeable improvement in the faculty is the new and young teachers who have positive attitudes about education. They try to introduce new ideas and aspects in learning, and try to expand education instead of just keeping it at the same level, Mr. Brockhaus said. 134 EDUCATION Left: Mr. Maskell displays one of his you’ve got to be kidding looks.

Bottom right: Mr. Barton lecturing to his class. 135 “Staff is Excellent” “The staff is excellent!” That's the way principal, Erwin Freisen, commented about NCHS faculty. “I feel the staff is excellent, but because of the lid many of the older and more experienced teachers leave for other jobs,” he said. “But, there is a tremendous balance of younger teachers to experienced ones. It helps to make for a top quality staff.” The curriculum as a whole, Mr. Friesen said, is good. What the society demands of our young people, that’s what we try to roll with. The computer age, for example, is coming so we’ve established a good computer course in the school. We're limited because of the lid but we must meet the needs,” he said. “The quality of the curriculum,” he said, starts with the faculty and students. They reflect the high quality of the school which begins with the staff,” he said. Even under the lid he said he felt Nebraska City could still have a top-notch student body as long as they have this excellent faculty. 136 Opposite page: bottom left. Mr. Belding stalks the hallway.

Many of the teachers sponsor, supervise, coach and direct extra-curricular activities. “There’s personal satisfaction in helping students,” said Tom Farrell, choir and play director. The students in activities are really top of the line kids and I like to work with talented people, they push me and make me work. he said. Coaching and sponsoring gives me a chance to see my students in a more relaxed attitude,” said Luanne Kreifels, business teacher, coach and FBLA sponsor. I teach a required class so it's good to work with students who want to be there,” said Vicki Wilken, director and coach. “The biggest frustration is when people don't use the talents they have,” Miss Wilken said. I love coaching and directing for the same reason that extra-curricular activities motivate the kids to do better and to be happier in school. They also motivate me.” she said. 138 Give Personal Satisfaction Opposite page left: Top right: Mr. McNeilly assists students in lab, Bottom right: Mr. Curtis is an avid sports fan.

The White House saw a new face when Ronald Reagan took office over President Carter. He began to try to decrease inflation by cutting government spending. Probably the most popular incident was the release of the American hostages held in Iran. This began on November 4, 1979 and ended January 20, 1981. “Draft beer, not students!” This phrase became popular in 1980 when Congress passed a law requiring men between the ages of 18 and 32 to register for a draft number. Many people protested by picketing on post office steps on registration day, but it didn’t change Congress's decision; most men registered anyway. Inflation continued to spiral while the American people watched it climb to 10' 2%. In 1981, the average price of a new shirt ranged from $10-$30, the price of a hamburger $1.50, a soft drink 50c, a candy bar 25c, and a new car about $6,000. American music went through some different changes this year. Disco, Donna Summer, and satin pants branched out into two new forms: Country-Waylon Jennings and cowboy boots, or New Wave-Devo and 3-D glasses. Music lovers suffered a great loss when former Beatle John Lennon was gunned down at his New York home. And as far as one of America’s favorite pasttimes go, the pro football season came to an end with the Fifteenth Annual Super Bowl. Oakland stomped Philadelphia 27-10. So, if you thought every year seemed just as boring as the last, reminisce 1981 and maybe you will change your mind. . . . News flash ... On April 6, 1981, President Reagan was shot. He was rushed to the hospital and made an amazing recovery. 146 Superbowl Top right: Valerie VanderVeen.

TIME FOR OUR FUTURE Time rushing past So quickly too fast Soon many friends will leave And begin a life of their own Thoughts of the future come closer. Senior year comes and goes and college just around the corner. Life passes much too quickly It seems as if we are racing against time Sprinting through the days Snort of breath, wanting to slow the pace. A wish to slow the minutes to hours and Saver each more fully. Fear of what is to come, changes we are unsure of A want to postpone the future A wish for life to remain the same And yet to begin our dreams of the future. by Debbie Lima Above: Some of the Hlnky Dinky employees are clowning around. 148 PATRONS A W DRIVE INN BRANDT HORAN ATTORNEYS BROWN'S SHOE FIT CO.
