Below: Senior Karen Johns works on the IBM display-writer which is on loan to the business department. Economy and winter were top concerns Many students arriving on the foggy first day of school on Aug. 24 were glad to get back to see their friends, while others were already wanting to get school over with. Students faced a few new changes at the beginning of the school year. One of the changes which the Seniors disliked the most was that everyone had to stay until 3:02 p.m., unless they were on work credit. Pep rallies were also often limited to the end of 7th period so they wouldn’t take as much time from classes. Three new teachers joined the faculty. They were John Minnick, English and journalism; John Schneider, a Nebraska City High School graduate teaching math; and Mike Fischer, instrumental music. Paul Stevenson rejoined the staff as a shop teacher after a year’s absence. Three new classes were also added this year. Geography, taught by Loyd Maskell; Physiology and Anatomy; taught by Bill Runkles, and Weight-training, instructed by Dan Ostransky. Students as well as teachers had a sobering learning experience on Dec. 3 when three convicts from the State Penitentiary in Lincoln came to talk with classes. The convicts discussed exactly what prison life was like. The economy was a major concern for all residents of Nebraska City with farm prices being low and several major local businessess closing their doors. The closings of the Morton House factory and the statewide closing of all Safeway grocery stores had a drastic effect on the Nebraska City economy. Many employers made cuts in employment and hours, leaving many adults, as well as students, jobless or finding less in their paychecks, (continued on page 4) 2 You Heard it from a Pioneer Above: Senior linebacker Chad Daffer pauses a moment during a football game.

You Heard it from a Pioneer 3 Students see concerts and turn ‘preppy’ (continued from page 2) Despite the tight economy, students still found the money to attend many concerts in Omaha and Lincoln, such as Loverboy, Ozzy Ozbourne, Journey, and Foreigner. The local movie theatre continued to show many current movies, including “On Golden Pond,” “Endless Love,” “Neighbors,” and “Arthur.” In their spare time, students spent the hours “rocking with Z-92” or listening to all the “bumper to bumper music” on Sweet 98. Some popular songs included “Centerfold, by J. Geils, “Our Lips are Sealed by the Go-gos, and “Physical” by Olivia Newton-John. On television, “General Hospital” was probably the most favorite among soap watchers, followed by “All My Children,” One life to Live,” and “Edge of Night.” “Dallas” was still a popular favorite during prime time. In fashion trends, NCHS found itself turning “preppy.” Izod alligator shirts, wool skirts worn with kneesocks and flat shoes, and button-down shirts filled the halls during the winter and fall. Speaking of the winter, students also found themselves just trying to survive the terrible winter of 1982. Record-breaking temperatures of 30 degrees below zero and windchill indexes of close to 70-degrees below zero were common in January and early February. Thick layers of ice and snow covered the sidewalks and streets of Nebraska City for almost six weeks after Christmas, making driving virtually impossible, much less getting in and out of the parking lot. 1981-1982 may have been the year for Reaganomics and neutron bombs, but for all of us at NCHS, it was a spectacular school year. 4 You Heard it from a Pioneer Corey Orton struggles to gain control of a jump shot during a reserve basketball game against Plattevlew.

Seniors look toward future at graduation The senior class participated in many activities and show promise in everything they will attempt in years to come. There was 139 members of the senior class when school started this fall. Forty-one seniors graduated mid-term in January. Senior class officers this year included Carrie Davis; president, Theresia Kover; vice-president, Kathy Neumann,; secretary, and Mary Thiesfeld, treasurer. John Barton and William Abernathy were the class sponsors. Graduation exercises were held on May 16. The senior colors were purple and lavender and the class motto was “We’re just moving clouds today, tomorrow we’ll move mountains.” Oopsl Jim Thurman has difficulty getting all of his books arranged properly in his locker.

They had a great start with arrival of their class rings which they ordered last year. The average cost this year was $90. The juniors were given the responsibility with raising money for this year’s prom. The class officers Kris Prouty, pres; Gretchen Finke, vice Pres.; Kelly Kreifels, secretary; and Cathy Sweeney, treasurer; were in charge of fund-raisers such as raffles, concessions, and selling pompons. During Homecoming week, the juniors took part in the variety of contests to show off their spirit for the school and for the teams. Overall the juniors ended up taking first place. With the closing of the junior year, they had to make decisions on looking ahead to their senior year and plans for the future.

The first few days of high school are a lot like those of junior high. New teachers and a very different atmosphere are some of the many things they had to get used to. They found it wasn’t as hard to get adjusted as they thought it would be. The reason was that they knew and recognized a lot of people from previous years at the junior high. One thing many sophomores liked about the high school was the fact that they had classes with the upperclassmen. Yet, they often missed having some of their classes with their friends.

The week of October 12-16 was filled with contests, pep rallies, strangely-dressed people, and most importantly spirit. Each day of the week was a designated dress-up day. They included: Sport ’em Up Day, Cowboy and Indian Day, Punk Rock Day, Nerd Day, and Purple, Gold - Hat, Tie, and Shades Day. A variety of contests took place, bringing out class rivalry. An obstacle course, ice cream eating contest, and licorice eating races were the sources of amusement and competition at the pep rallies. A new twist was added to the rallies this year, when students met in the parking lot after the traditional parade on Friday. There was also a hall decorating contest on Thursday and a tricycle race during half time of the football game. At the end of the week, Juniors came out on top of the spirit contests with Seniors, Sophomores, and teachers taking second, third, and fourth places. Brian Moles and Carrie Davis were crowned king and queen at the dance, following the game. The band “Odyssey Star” played. Phil Brawner, Student Council President, summed up the week, “the entire week went really well. Spirit was high, and students participated more than in the past. It was topped off by a really successful dance.” Right: Carrie Davis and Brian Moles congratulate each other after being crowned Homecoming King and Queen.

Holiday Dance 47 “Murder” Transpires on NCHS stage Hazel Laverne, a longtime star of stage and screen, has consented, thanks to Drew Pelman, the author, to appear in the summer production at Ivytown Theater owned by Liz Truesdale, and run by Jane Bond with the assistance of her niece, Mitzi Bond. “Murder Takes the Stage,” directed by Chris Dietz, was the fall play for 1981. It was presented on November 20 and 21 and was received by a moderate crowd both nights. The mystery starts as Hazel is shot and killed by Bob Rayfield in rehearsal for opening night. The mystery was who substituted real bullets for blanks and Sheriff Wiley’s job is to find the guilty party, along with the help of Mitzi, who acts as bait for the murder. Through questioning by the sheriff and a trap set by Mitzi, where she puts her own life in danger, the murderer, Bob Rayfield, is lured into confessing himself and is apprehended.

Fall Play 49 Speech team excels at state This year’s one-act play was “Louder, I Can’t Hear You.’’ Cast members were Jim Bornschlegl, Lora Haverty, Phil Brawner, Michelle Westphal, John Vock, and Deborah Hall. Charlene Burkhart was the student director and art was done by Laura Plummer. Vicki Wilken was the director. The play dealt with a mother who is neglected by her family. She attempts to seek help from the doctor, but he has more problems then she does. “We really enjoyed doing the play and we felt it was challenging,’’ said Phil Brawner. At both districts and conference, the play received an excellent rating. This wasn’t good enough to go to state though, and the cast members were disappointed since most had gone to state the year before. According to Miss Wilken, the play was a highly successful comedy. “It may not have got the most superiors, but it did get the most laughs,” she said. Miss Wilken also said the sets were the most elaborate ever used for a one-act play and the credit goes to Laura Plummer and Char Burkhart. The speech team had a successful season this year. The N.C. Invitational had the most teams ever participating in its 5-year history. Nebraska City took the Class B third place title. In Conference competition, the team placed third. They finished first in District with six qualifiers for State. The five events attending State were: After Dinner Speaking, Kathy Neumann; Duet Acting, Phil Brawner and Michelle Westphal; Informative Speaking, Charlene Burkhart, Oral Interpretation of Poetry, Lora Haverty; Oral Interpretation of Serious Prose, Phil Brawner. This year’s speech team included Ted Bonebrake, Jim Bornschlegl, Phil Brawner,Charlene Burkhart, Doreen Davis, Tina Farris, Gretchen Finke, Linda Ganzel, Denise Graham, Deb Hall, Denise Hall, Lora Haverty, Phil Lutz, Kathy Neumann, Laura Plummer, Jim Rowe, Rhonda Schreiner, Rex Weldon, Michelle Westphal, and John Vock. Instructor Vicki Wilken said she was pleased with the team’s year and that she would be losing many good senior members. She thinks next year will be a rebuilding year and hopes that it will be a successful one. 50 Speech Team and One-Act Play Top: John Vock and Deb Hall rehearse their lines for the one-act play. “Louder, I Can't hear You.

The couple finds out the house is haunted from Charlene Burkhart, who plays a kooky member of the local society of the psychic, and prepare a party on the date the witch is to appear.

What is usually considered a springtime event, wasn’t dampened by the wet snow and temperatures in the 20s. Sponsored by the junior class, the theme for this year’s Prom was “Don’t Stop Believing.’’ The juniors decorated the gym with blue and white streamers.

The processional included the traditional “Pomp and Circumstance” played by the band, while vocal selections were sung by the choir and a special selection by the Swing Choir. Honor addresses were given by Denise Hall, John Vock, Laura Plummer, and Denise Graham. These students were the top four students in their class.

Awards Night 69 Students need part-time jobs To keep their part-time jobs, many NCHS students had to give up many activities such as football, basketball, and volleyball games to fulfill their duties, and others let their grades suffer due to long hours of work. However, in the long run, many students realized that having some extra spending money was worth the effort, because when it came to going out on weekends and filling up the gas tank they were happy when it came time to receive their long-awaited paychecks. Long, hard hours, missing out on different activities, and having to work the night before a big test, hardly seem the way a student would want to spend his or her spare time. Nevertheless, some NCHS students lived this life day after day and for whatever reason, most agreed that it all paid off in the end.

With titles like “Asteroids”, “Crazy Climber”, “Donkey Kong”, “Frog ger”, and “Pac Man”, the games are being found in more and more businesses in the Nebraska City area, not to mention over the entire country. The average high-school student has probably spent many times matching wits with these computerized wizards, trying their patience and skill against the odds. The success of video games aren’t limited to the arcade games themselves. Atari and Intellevision have launched hugh campaigns to bring video games into the home on their computers. The textile industry sprang forth with Pac Man t-shirts, towels, sheets and even hats. The record industry got in on the set with video tunes like “Pac Man Fever”. Video games have become popular and almost commonplace, where just a few years ago they were virtually unheard of. It’s safe to say that in the future, video games might well be at the heart of our entertainment dollar. Opposite page, top: Jim Bornschlegl tries his luck at a video game.

This trip was for the International Music Festival, at which both the choir and band received bronze medals. In addition to performing, the students visited the St. Louis Arch, Forest Park, and Six Flags over St. Louis. The Music boosters provided $5,000 dollars for the trip. The students raised $4,200, selling Christmas ornaments and candy bars, and paid any remaining costs themselves. Three charter buses and the school van transported the group from place to place during the three day trip. 74 St. Louis Trip Top: Jonna Peterson and Kathy Neumann smile for the camera as they load up to take off for St. Louis.

Marching band received a superior rating at the Plattsmouth Marching Festival, and an excellent rating at the Pershing Marching Festival. The highlight of the year was the trip to St. Louis, with the choir, where they competed in Festivals of Music USA. They spent much of the year raising money for the trip. According to Mike Fischer, band instructor, the year went pretty well. “There were times when it was very trying for the students and me, I’ve learned a lot about teaching and my self,” he said. A new type of Jazz Band started at Nebraska City High School, and it wasn’t Louis Armstrong’s. A jazz band made up of sophomores called “Lab 84” was started, according to Mike Fischer, band director. “Lab 84” was busy throughout the year performing at basketball games, Swing Choir Concert, Scarlet and Craam recital, and being able to compete in Omaha’s Club 89 Restaurant Talent Contest for a $1,000 dollar prize in May. The group included Ted Bonebrake, David Hemphill, John Hofer, Doug Patton, Tim Rakes, and Rex Weldon. “I think the group has a lot of talented people in it,” Fischer said. “They are one top group.” Top: Lab 84. a sophomore jazz band, performs at a basketball game.

Membership was down a little from previous years, with only 72 members. Rathe said. There were many fund-raisers. DECA sold donuts in the morning during the third quarter.

Although the team’s 4-5 season doesn’t appear to be successful, Head Coach Loyd Maskell said the players seemed to have their heads on straight and are ready for next year. Maskell said he seems to think the team will be much better next year because alot of people are coming back and we’ll have more experience. “Most of the mistakes that were make seemed not to lie in the playing ability but in the decision-making,” he said. Maskell said probably the biggest upset of the season was the Homecoming game where Nebraska City had a 13-0 lead at half time, but because of an interceptionn and two fumbles eventually lost 13-26. Maskell said the 1981 season was filled with outstanding players. Mark Allgood and Chad Daffer made allconference. Daffer also made the All-State Team. Tod Brockley, Jeff Harding, Kelly Kreifels, Roger Roumpf, and Jose Aldana made honorable mention. “Many of our football players lift weights and this I am sure has been a big asset to our playing ability,” Maskell said.

The reserves played some very tough teams the toughest were Syracuse and Auburn, according to quarterback Jeff Rowen “That’s what we needed, was more teamwork”, said Ryan Kennell, a back on the reserve team. Rowen said he seems to feel that next year more people will go out and the reserve team will be even better. Small home crowds at games was a big factor in the team’s enthusiasm. All the mistakes lie in too little teamwork and the wrong attitude toward the game, Rowen said. Top: Mark Allgood. Jeff Harding, and Chad Daffer lead the Nebraska City defense against Syracuse.

The girls finished their season with a 8-2 record. According to Luanne Kreifels, junior varsity coach, the junior varsity has and will always be a building block for varsity. “We try to get everyone in so they get used to playing in the upcoming year,” Miss Kreifels said. Miss Kreifels said she was fortunate to have 22 girls on her team, all having their own special skill, whether it was setting, spiking, digging, or serving. She said these are the girls to watch in the near future. Top: Cindy Royal attempts to make a shot while Doreen Davis and Shelly Easter offer encouragement. Above: The reserve volleyball team. Reserve Volleyball 103 Volleyball team falls short at districts With an 18-4 season, how could any coach be mad? “We had a good season,” said Head Varisty Volleyball Coach Vicki Wilken. “We had a young team and we did well.” With only two seniors back with experience, Coach Wilken had to bring people off the bench to fill in four vacant positions. The girls were able to bring home the Peru State Invitational Tournament trophy for the third year in a row. They also got second place in the Eastern Midlands Conference Tournament. Seniors Betty Neinkamp and Carrie Davis received numerous awards: All Conference, All-Area, All-State, Peru Tournament, and Honorable Mention All-State. The team went into districts and made it to the finals by beating Crete and Syracuse. They went on to play Norris for the second time in the season, but fell short and took the runner-up trophy home.

The Pioneer netters stormed their way into the state finals as the number one doubles team of seniors Mitch Martineau and Dave Martin placed third in state, and juniors Ron Brockhaus and John Nebelsick doing well overall. The Pioneer team ended up placing fourth overall in state class B tennis. “Next year will be our rebuilding year,” Rathe said, “for we have a lot of promising sophomore coming up. Next year will be an enjoyable year.” Above left: Senior Dave Martin. a state doubles finisher, waits to return a serve. Above right: Lance Bruening and Ron Brockhaus practice hard.

Not only by coaches Allen Schnitzer and Tom Farrell, but also by Phil Lutz, the student manager, and the captains, Chris Hotsenpillar, Dale Clymens, and David Clymens. The team started off the year with 25 wrestlers, 6 of those were returning letterwinners, and finished the season with 23. The two losses were due to injuries. Over all, the team finished stronger in duals than tournaments, according to coach Schnitzer. He added, “The guys never lost enthusiasm.” Individual varsity tournament champions are Dale Clymens at Wymore Southern, Platteview, Raymond Central, Conference and Districts; Chris Hotsenpillar at Conference; and John Davis at Wymore Southern. Junior varsity champs are Ron Majors at Crete; Mike Francois at Crete and Nebraska City; Jeff Pierce at Norris, Crete, and Nebraska City; Tim Cravens at Norris and Crete; Brett Allgood at Norris and Nebraska City. Dale Clymens, at 126 pounds, finished first in districts, while his brother David Clymens, at 138 pounds, received third place. Both Clymens brothers qualified for state. In the first round, they both decisioned their opponents and went on to the second round, in which both lost. “We’re looking forward to the 1982-83 season. We’ll have 11 returning letterwinners plus some good freshmen are coming up,” said Schnitzer.

The District tournament game proved to tell the story of the 8-11 Pioneers. Senior forward Rick Wolstenholm explained the teams situation best when he said, “Our team would always have a good first quarter, but the second or third quarter would always cost us the game.” The boys’ schedule was unusually tough as six of the teams they played were rated in state, but the Pioneers gave Blair and Gretna all they could handle. Seniors Doug Ailes and Rick Wolstenholm led the team in scoring with 14.1 and 14.3 point averages per game. Other varsity members contributing to the teams’ efforts were seniors Mark Allgood, Jeff Marcotte, and Mitch Martineau; starting juniors Kelly Kreifels and John Neblesick; juniors Daryl Steinman and Corey Orton; and sophomores Ryan Kennell, Jeff Rowen, and Jerry Wurtele. Rick was voted Most Valuable Player and John Neblesick was voted Most Improved Player by their teammates. Above: Doug Ailes tries to keep the ball away from an Auburn player.

The Reserves out-rebounded their opponents 476 to 441, connected on 55 percent of their freethrows, and shot 34 percent from the field. Scoring was led by Corey Orton with a 12 point average per game. Jerry Wurtele, Daryl Steinman, Ryan Kennell, and Jeff Rowen also contributed to the teams total points. Daryl Steinman had a 34-5 jump ball record and Jerry Wurtele made 36 of 46 free throws. Other members rounding out the team are Greg Conz, Doub Barrett, Steve Broers, David Hemphill, Brian Popelka, Mark Marcotte, Dan Teten, and Kevin Rodeman.

The season came to a close at the record standing at 11-9. “This year we learned more about playing as a team instead of playing one or two players do the work,” said Kris Prouty, junior guard. “Even though we all shared the load, this seniors more or less led the team. The reserves also deserve some acknowledgement which is well earned. Even though the reserves’ 3-8 record does not seem good, they did very well with what they had, according to Coach Bill Runkles. Many times their practice was limited and they had to play games with a very limited number of girls which really hurts when you need people to play off the bench.

Varsity Girls Basketball 115 Intramurals remain popular Intramural basketball is becoming a big business at Senior High and each year more and more people who are not out for winter sports are getting involved in this new craze. T-shirts are being printed and many games the stands are filled with avid intramural addicts. The big rivalry of the year was that of the Hosers and the Rat-Patrol. The Hosers came out on top at the end of the game but much happened in just a few seconds. The Hosers went on to take the league championship. “I enjoy intramural basketball because it gives you a chance to play against some good competition and it doesn’t take too much of your time”, said Lance Bruiening, who is a member of the Radiation Leaks that took second place. In the girls division, the Hosees took the team title with a 8-1 record, while only losing to the Lourdes team. The girls played on Sunday nights and the boys played on Wednesday nights. Everyone seemed to look forward to those days and people young and old seemed to have a good time. r Boys’ Intramural Results Hosers 7-0 Radiation Leaks 6-1 Rat Patrol 5-2 Sleastax 4-3 Rebels 3-4 Bud Duds 2-5 Knights of Ni 1-6 Plain Labels 0-7 Girls’ Intramural Results Hosee’s 8-1 Bruisers 4-2 Lone Stars 3-3 Rated X 3-4 Betty’s Bouncin’ Beauties 0-8 J 116 Intramural Basketball Top: Roger Roumpf goes up for a shot in a game between the Hosers and the Radiation Leaks.

We were basically an unexperienced team; and with only a few seniors, we were fairly successful despite our lack of team members,” Miss Wilken said. The strong point of this year’s squad rested in seniors Betty Nienkamp and state qualifier in the 100-meter dash, Kathy Neumann. Both were always strong finishers and returning letterman. A new conference record in the 200-meter dash was also set by Neumann this year. “Next year we hope to rebuild”, Miss Wilken said, “as I’m sure a lot of good freshmen and sophomores will be coming up.” Girls’ season Top: Linda Kasbohm looks out over the field to see just where her discus throw lands.

Through the poor, rainy weather for most of the season, seniors Jim Thurman and Doug Ailes; juniors Corey Orton and Dave Clymens; and sophomores Jose Aldana, Jerry Wurtele, and Ryan Kennell represented Nebraska City in the State Competition. “We did very well this year,” said John Barton, the head coach of this year’s squad. “Considering this stretches of cold and rainy weather we had all season, we did well overall.” The team performed their finest at a dual with Plattsmouth, Barton said. As Plattsmouth’s squad was the strongest in the conference, the Pioneers came in and caught them on an off day, easily walking away with a win. “Next year we will have a lot more depth, as we have several of our juniors and sophomores coming back, and a strong set of upcoming freshmen will greatly add to our squad,” Barton said.

Golf Team ‘Unpredictible’ The Nebraska City golfers were unable to bring home a trip to state for the first time in the last three years. Pius won the B-l District Golf Tournament, while Nebraska City tied for eighth place with the Syracuse Rockets, with the score of 250. Jeff Marcotte and David Martin were the only seniors on this year’s squad. They were the top leaders during districts with junior Ron Brockhaus and sophomore Mark Marcotte, close behind. Varsity finished the year with a 8-4 record, while reserves record was 6-2. Golf is the only sport you really have a homecourse advantage, according to Coach Brockhaus. He added, “We were unpredictible this year. We did good in dual matches but not so good in tournaments. ’ The team took first place in Nebraska City Invitational, eighth in Districts and Twelfth in Conference.

Students needed a break from the gray winter months. Just when it looked like spring was here, a snowstorm came the night before the Prom. Most of the snow melted before the dance. But it was still colder than expected. There was an unexpected flood in Nebraska City, April 15, the night before the Band and Choir left on their trip to St. Louis. The water was at such high levels in the low areas that several houses had damage to their basements. Many people had to be evacuated from their homes and one couple had to be rescued from the top of their home. Luckily the water level went down almost as rapidly as it came up, so the damages weren’t too extensive. With the coming of spring came the usual Senioritus. Seniors slacked off on their homework as the end of the school year drew near. Many took off days for college visitation to get a break from the daily routine of school. Several seniors were concerned about the uncertainty of what is to come after graduation. Others were looking forward to getting out on their own and going to college. Several teachers at NCHS received reduction-in-force letters from the Nebraska City School Board. The school board, who is required by state law to send the letters, believed the letters were necessary because they believed the school was faced with a serious financial crunch largely due to the recession and a lawsuit over rural high school tuition. The teachers that received the letters were John Minnick, Luanne Kreifels, Peg Mort, Paul Stevenson, and Nancy Wurtele. Many residents, teachers, and students attended a public hearing on the matter on Monday, April 26, where all sides were aired. The final decision on the matter came at the school board hearing in May, when all high school teachers retained their positions. It was a busy spring, but students were ready to leave school for an active summer ahead. Cindy Sterner and Dobie Mattly exchange “wedding” vows and rings as Adult Living teacher. The Rev.” Peg Mort. presides over the ceremony.
