Though there are many ideas of supremacy, it is pushed for and achieved in all areas. Whether in music, art, drama, speech, or sports, each individual’s goal is to be the best possible in whatever he does. For any student looking for supremacy, NHS First In Line Ranks Ultimately Supreme has much to offer. Choice classes and many excellent extra-curricular activities are offered to all. From debate tournaments to sports tournaments there is something for everyone. That ultimate goal that we’re all reaching for may be far away for some and yet for others, very real right now. Some set goals so high they might take years to reach, while others just worry about getting through the day or week. We all struggle to distinguish ourselves through the different situations we face each day. By expressing ourselves through words and actions, we endeavor to find something that only we can do. From a completed touchdown pass to a successful fund-raiser, NHS students want to be 1 -SUPREME. e NOiionaoaxNi “Come on, feel the noise.” To students of NHS, music was much more than just noise. To most, music was a way of expressing oneself, a way to relax, let loose, and have an ultimately good time. Walkmans, ghetto blasters and a good stereo for car and home, were at the top of many students’ “want list”. Students Tune In More Than Noise Everyone had his own idea of supreme tunes, varying from New Wave and Hard Rock to Top 40 and Country. Most-listened to radio stations were Z-92, out of Omaha, KNEN, here in Norfolk, and 62 Country, out of Sioux, City. Popular concerts for those rock fans were Iron Maiden, in Sioux City, Loverboy, Quiet Riot and a double Def Leppard, in Omaha. Many Country fans attended the Alabama concert at the Nebraska State Fair. No matter what type of music the students of NHS listened to this year, they all seemed to move together in that Supreme harmony.

Big weekend plans often varied from going to the games and dances after, to going to an ‘awesome’ party or having an old-fashioned slumber party with lots of good gossip, plenty of munchies, some serious discussions and of course, lots of giggling. Students Highlight Ultimate Hotspots Norfolk has had its share of supreme hot spots. The place to be seemed to change with the weather. During the good fall and spring weather Norfolk Avenue was full of people with windows down and tunes cranked up. People saving gas could be found sitting in the Alco or 7-11 parking lot talking to the gang. As the nights got cooler, people moved their fun inside. Kings seemed to be a popular place to be with bowling, movies, and food. For some, H P Rollerland was the place to be on Sunday nights. After a school dance, Burger King was the ultimate destination. In the short hour between the dance and curfew Burger King was always full of hungry students. No matter what the weather, students of NHS could always find the ultimately supreme place to be, for Norfolk provided many. On Monday mornings, it was always, “What went on over the weekend?” There was always plenty to tell. Sitting in the Forum socializing are Tim Mulvihill. Tom Rowan, Ted Stransky, and Tony Bennett.___________________________________ Stopping off at 7-11 is common when the ’munchies’ need takes hold.

INTRODUCTION 7 Striving And Reaching For Goals Students follow the line of supremacy A feat of supremacy performed with valor and skill is the greatest achievement of all. This accomplishment varied depending on the students at Norfolk Senior High. To some sophomores, getting through the first day of school in a new building without getting lost was quite a triumph. Some juniors put a feather in their cap if they made it through their eleventh year, of being stuck in the middle, on to being a senior. The realization of graduation gave many seniors a great feeling of fulfillment as they worried about passing all the required classes and meeting the graduation standards. Whatever NHS students fell their greatest achievement had been they have been doing something right. While the nation’s educational standard is falling, Norfolk Public Schools ranked “well above average” according to the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Test (ACT) results. A list, published a year ago, showed Norfolk ranking far ahead of Columbus and Omaha as well as all other schools. Academic scholarships were awarded to many graduating seniors. Ted Stransky and James Kimble placed in the top five percent of over one million participants in the annual National Merit Scholarship program. The students entered by taking the PSAT NMSQT tests during the fall of 1982. They will be honored with a letter of commendation. Congressman Doug Bereuter also announced the appointment of Brandon Stevenson to the West Point Military Academy and Makie Pradise to the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado. The applicants were interviewed in early December by two bipartisan committees and later by a third before the recom- I mendations for appointment were sent to Congressman Bereuter. We all set goals for ourselves. We’ve reached some and are still striving for others, but we continue to follow the line of supremacy.

Her activities included: Boys’ Basketball Head Cheerleader, Concert Band, Crimson Cadet member, French Club, Homecoming Queen, Honor Roll, Marching Band, National Honor Society, Panther of the Week Committee (secretary), Pep Club, and Student Council. One of Kim Monson’s many roles was that of 1984 Homecoming Queen, shown with Ken Geyer, her royal partner. As a senior cheerleader, Kim helps teach new cheers to incoming freshmen and future team supporters. 10 MILESTONE GIRL Milestone Boy Joe Schroeter Joe Schroeter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Schroeter, also played a big part in the NHS ranking. His activities included: being active in his church, Century III Leaders Program Winner, Chairman of Panther of the Week Committee, Concert Band, Eagle Award in Scouting, Honor Roll, Marching Band, National Forensic League (Debate), Orchestra, Plays, School Musicals, Stage Band, Varsity Tennis, Volunteer work for YMCA sports program, and Winter Royalty King. The witty personality of Joe Schroeter shines during his performance in “Inherit the Wind.” Concentration plays a key role in the game of tennis, as demonstrated by Joe, varsity tennis player, warming up before his match. MI STON O Only Noah Webster could word it so well . . . high regard, respect, esteem, to receive praise. Put those all together and you spell honor. National Honor Society was one of the highest academic rewards our school had to offer. Respect, High Esteem Label Honor Students Members were selected by teachers who rated students on characteristics such as leadership, intelligence, and general responsibility. They were to possess grade point average of 92 percent or higher. Students applied and teachers evaluated them on their illustrated qualities of the past year. Senior members included: Makie Paradise, Jill Kuenzi, Shelly Holland, Darin Mackender, Monica Schiffbauer, Gina Gardels, Jennifer DeWalt, Mark Schlimgen, Faith Ross, Mike Auman, Scott Biehle, Kim Monson, Kenny Filsinger, and Kathy Gnirk. Throughout the school year these students did special tasks such as tutor, raise money for various projects, (dances, carnivals), and on occasion they joined together to clean up areas of our school that needed attention. Toward the end of the school year, new junior members are chosen to carry on the work of NHS. 1983-84 members of National Honor Society are: Front Row; Janel Hunter, Lisa Hilkeman, Kim Heppner, Randy Gries, Diana Glaser, Donna Frazier, Bonnie Fendrick, Stephanie Burkum, John David, Beau Anderson, and Cathy Adams. Back Row; Shalle Wynn, Janel Waggoner, Natalie Straight, Odie Siores, Joe Schroeter, Rick Pavlik, Traci Papstein, Mike Bowersox, Michelle McManaman, Dan McFarland, and Kay Kube. 1984-85 members are: Front Row; Todd Felgate, Paula Effle, Alka Desai, Mark Brtek, Jill Brodecky, Nancy Boeshart, Kathleen Belville, Greg Allen, and Cindy Adams. Back Row; Cami Wilcox, Blake Warneke, Nancy Vavak, Lisa Schlomer, Chris Schaefer, Heather Price, Kris Kopetzky, Jodi Hart, Doug Geyer, Lori Frady, and Don Fendrick. Kathy Gnirk and Mike Auman help junior Jill Staudenmaier with some schoolwork as part of their tutoring project. 12 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Quill and Scroll is an International Honor for top journalism students who must be in the top third of their class. Selection into the Quill and Scroll organization is an honor. Members illustrated dedication and hard work during their Quill Scroll Club Honors J Students high school journalism days. Jennie Anthony, Troy Fehrs, Diane Moore, Colleen Rutten, Lisa Carstenson, Linda Carr, DeAnne Munson, and Christi Kube joined 10 members in the Quill and Scroll organization. Jancl Hunter, Mike Bowersox. and Natalie Straight plan the ceremony for new Quill and Scroll members which takes place at . the annual Publications Banquet.

QUILL AND SCROLL 13 Who really enjoys work? Boys’ and Girls’ State was a workshop in government; for this reason it was a must that students selected were willing to do some studying. They studied material on state government a month before they went, for preparation for the week’s stay. Boys’ And Girls’ State Forms Future Leaders Boys’ and Girls’ State wasn’t a recreational camp. There was a planned program of athletics for a part of each afternoon, and other recreational activities were offered. Yet, the principle purpose of the project was to instruct the students in good citizenship and good government. Leadership qualities were essential in ‘Staters’, and those selected must have proven that they were leaders and were right for this honor. “Since the students we recommend may be in state competition, we are sure to send our ‘best’,” stated Steve Schroeder, NHS counselor. Students selected include: Greg Allen, Mark Brtek, Kathy Belville, Alka Desai, Cami Wilcox, and Paula Effle. Girls from NHS attending state include; Cami Wilcox, Kathleen Belville, Alka Desai, and Paula Effle. Boys from Norfolk attending State are; Greg Allyn, and Mark Brtek. Kathleen Belville expresses how she feels about going to Girls’ State. («n 14 BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ STATE On a sunny, breezy May 20, 1984, 232 seniors reached the most important milestone of their high school lives. Memorial Field was the setting for the 96th annual Norfolk High Graduation and Honors ceremony. Baccalaureate was held at 1:30 with Honors beginning at 2:30 where scholarships were received by many graduates. Pastor Arnold Krugler gave the happy graduates his blessing and a few words for thought about their upcoming lives. Significant Afternoon Establishes Memories Jill Kuenzi, Darin Mackender, and Makie Paradise gave their final speeches to their fellow graduates and faculty. They led the class scholastically. Diplomas were presented, tears were shed, cheers and exclamations of happiness were heard. More of the fine line of supreme students from Norfolk Senior High School had completed what were to be the happiest days of their lives. A few girls stop in the Forum for a minute because they can’t wait to try on their caps and gowns. Brandon Stevenson is thrilled with the idea of graduating as he puts on his cap. The top ten graduates were: First Row; Stephanie Burkum. Natalie Straight. Lisa Hilkeman, Jill Kuenzi. and Jennifer DeWalt Back Row; Monica Schiffbauer. Brandon Stevenson. Jeff Holloway. Darin Mackender. and Makie Paradise. GRADUATION 15 “Success is contagious,” was one of the more outstanding comments made by Darin Mackender, Salutatorian of the 1984 class, at the Commencement ceremonies May 20, 1984. These words were so true as the disease affected 232 students, including absentees throughout the year and 10 particular people a little more than others. These successful people were the top ten students of their class working their way up the line of supremacy since their sophomore year to attain this goal. The top three Contagious Disease Affects Many Grads students were Jill Kuenzi, Valedictorian, Darin Mackender, Salutatorian, and Makie Paradise, with the following people making up the rest of the ten: Stephanie Burkum, Jennifer DeWalt, Lisa Hil-keman, Jeff Holloway, Monica Schiffbauer, Brandon Stevenson and Natalie Straight. These ten hard-workers struggled and strained with three years of tough classes and tough teachers to find their names on the Principal’s List each quarter, four times a year for three years. Why did they do it? Maybe for the feeling that they accomplished something or maybe getting straight A’s was the one of the things that they were good at and it made them feel good inside seeing the first letter of the alphabet over and over again on report cards and thinking, “I bet Mom and Dad are proud.” Presenting her Valedictorian speech to a crowd of hundreds is a very nervous Jill Kuenzi. Karla Kester talks to a fellow graduate following the ceremony as Kim Monson looks on. 16 GRADUATION GRADUATION 17 Three good friends, Teresa Hart, Michelle McMan-aman and Lisa Kratochvil give each other congratulatory hugs right after commencement.

The Best Of Times More to student life than homework From 8:30 to 3:05, Monday through Friday, the halls of NHS are filled with laughter and chatter, of all the day’s most important events. “What’s on the Government quiz,” was a popular question with the seniors on Fridays. The library, student lounge and Forum were often filled with students busily cramming for that forgotten test or doing a last minute homework assignment due next period. But student life doesn’t stop at 3:05 when that final bell rings. It continues to be filled with exciting activities, including games, dances and plays. Homecoming, Winter Royalty, and Prom have always been held in supreme esteem by NHS students. Getting a date, finding just the right clothes to make you look your best and dreaming up what to talk about all night, play an important role in the weeks of preparing for the big night. Weekends also played an ultimate part of student life. To some the weekends meant time to study, work, perhaps sleep in and do some catching up with all the things you meant to do during the week. For others, seven theaters and a drive-in offered a variety of entertainment. Besides movies, Norfolk offers many good meeting places. Burger King has often been a “hotspot” after a dance. No ultimate weekend would be complete without at least one drive down “Main” on Friday or Saturday night. Student life meant different things to different people. For some, school work, games and friends were the most important. To others student life meant socializing, going to parties, or being with friends. No matter how you see it, “These were the best years of our lives.” Taking part In the school musical is ona way JaH Walz shows his superior interest in student life Nancy Uttecht and friends start a Friday night off at the school dance 18 STUDENT LIFE StudentL STUDENT LIFE 19 On Friday, October 7, the Beatrice football team was scheduled to arrive at 5:30 p.m. To some it was just another night of football, but to others it was HOMECOMING. Ten students would remember this evening and the weeks before it for a long time. On September 23, Jeff Burkink, principal, announced the list of Homecoming candidates. Students Give Time To Plan Festivities Immediately the spotlight was focused on these ten students, but what about the people behind the scenes? So many preparations had to be made. Several clubs at NHS became active in the festivities by building floats, painting signs, and dressing up in costumes. First place went to the French Club, second to the Spanish Club for their floats depicting ‘Memories’. Candidates had a list of “to do’s” also. Gifts had to be bought, flowers ordered, attendants and drivers sought, dinners to attend, and pictures to be taken. That night began with anticipation and ended with a sigh of relief as Ken Geyer and Kim Monson were announced as King and Queen. Following the Homecoming Coronation, a dance was held for the students in the Forum. Dave Kruse and Cheryl Smith applaud as two of their fellow candidates enter onto the field during halftime festivities.

Joe and Sara Abler, Winter Royalty Queen ’84, have been friends since childhood. They played together as youngsters, and they are still close companions as seniors. Sara and Joe have shared similar interests throughout high school. Sara’s activities included DECA, where she was on the Board of Directors. She was a member of the International Thespians and vice-president of Key Club and played on the Varsity Girls’ Golf team. Joe participated in Band, Debate, N. F. L., and International Thespians. He was chairman of Panther of the Week Committee, and he played on the boys’ Varsity Tennis Team. Both Sara and Joe have had leading roles in the fall musicals and spring plays throughout high school. “Best Buddies” Rule As Imperial Couple Like Homecoming during football season, Winter Royalty is the social event of the basketball season. The candidates were chosen in December, senior females choosing the males and vice-versa. The theme, “We’ve Got tonight” was then chosen as were Jeff Walz and Kathy Gnirk to sing and Scott Biehle as pianist. Brandon Stevenson, Stuco President, introduced the candidates, their activities, and future plans as they strolled into the gym. The first couple was Sara Abler and Tom Rowan followed by Jill Theisen and Dick Brenneman. Brenda Schramm and Joe Schroeter were next with Shelly Poppe and Mike Tuttle following. The last couple was Kathy Bleyhl and Jeff Anderson. Not many people in the audience realized as Joe and Sara were being crowned, that they had been friends since childhood. It was especially eventful for “best buddies”, Joe and Sara and they will remember this event for a long time. Sara Abler, thrilled at the excitement of Winter Royalty night, shares her enthusiasm with Lisa Test. Amid balloons and confusion, Sara Abler and Joe Schroeter, Winter Royalty couple ’84, graciously accept congratulations. Kathy Gnirk and Jeff Walz sing “We’ve Got Tonight.” the theme song of Winter Royalty 1984. Walking from the remains of a shipwreck to a beautiful paradise island was how many couples spent one rainy Saturday evening. This rainy night, May 5, 1984, obviously didn’t have the best weather, but that didn’t stop NHS prom-goers from putting on their tuxes and ankle-length dresses and donning the umbrellas so as to avoid getting the freshly-styled hair wet. The tropical night began with punch-hour beginning at 7:30 p.m. and dinner at 8:00 p.m. As everyone finished dining, they were entertained with the voices of Heather Price and Tom Baker singing the theme song “Almost Paradise.” Directly afterwards, Scott Parker and Patty Parson were announced as King and Queen, hence, enjoining the others to dance. Around midnight everyone took off for home and reconstructed themselves from Cinderellas and Tropical Paradise Inspires Everyone Prince Charmings to fashionable post-prom party goers. Even though the “prommers” were weary, you couldn’t tell by the way they jumped from shooting free throws to playing bingo or playing foosball to popping balloons. If it was food you were looking for, you could smell your way to the hot dogs and chips. Prizes donated by Norfolk merchants added a little spice to the early morning activities. Everything from luggage, to TV sets to $100 bills were given away during the night. About 4:00 a.m. Sunday morning the prizes had run out and so had the energy of the once excited parents as well as the students themselves. Even though energy was low, spirits were high as everyone trotted off to breakfast at friends’ houses or a local restaurant. Eventually everyone went home — tired but happy. Bryon Baker motions to Beau Anderson to check out the hot dogs and chips served at Post Prom.

Many scrounged for quarters and Homerooms’ Purpose Proves Worthwhile hurried to the cafeteria to push and shove for a chance at a doughnut. Then it was on to homeroom for ten minutes. What exactly is homeroom — its pleasures and purpose? The daily ten-minute break gives students a home base at school which remains the same for all three years of school. The student-teacher relationship has a chance to develop on an informal basis. Students experienced as many different approaches to homerooms as there were teachers to direct them. Challenges and contests proved popular in 83-84. Mrs. Eva Meinke’s homeroom challenged all others to contribute to the fund for Christopher Plummer, a local grade school boy who needed a bone marrow transplant. Over $1300 was raised. Some contests were confined to students in only one homeroom. Ron Bruening’s room held a balloon popping contest which required students to run, sit and pop! Meanwhile down the hall in room 211, Doug Brown directed his students in a bubble blowing challenge of gum. Ten minutes — a small segment of time in a long school day, but for many the time was important and mostly well-spent. It was a comfortable place to eat a doughnut everyday for three years. 26 STUDENT LIFE Jeff Walz works on some last minute homework, but can’t seem to get anything done with Mike Bowersox and Bonnie Fendrick, _dlstui in£jjjm;___________________ Kelli Brown and Lynn Rosenbaum clown around after their lunch period.

All come from the different personalities of NHS students. Different life styles, classes, activities, and homework loads give reasons for the varying emotions in people’s faces. Of course when students were given an assignment to work out 50 problems in Analysis, they were going to be a little concerned for their health’s sake. And students knew which teachers were capable of handing out this sort of work. As everyone knew, the looks of concern often mingled in with a lot of confusion. Seniors had been learning grammar since seventh grade but still weren’t quite sure so, “Could you go through that just one more time, Miss Jenkins?” There was also a chance to show feelings of happiness throughout the school day. Their history teacher was bound to tell a few old jokes to make them smirk during the fifty minutes of class time. In the Forum there were new jokes and old ones that literally made people’s eyes tear because they were laughing so hard. A smile or two can also be seen on practically everyone’s face eighth period on Friday expressing the happiness of the coming weekend with all the confusion and concern left behind. STUDENT LIFE 27 Senior Jolene O’Brien: her face reveals curiosity, opinion and the affinity for discussion. Mark Schlimgen and Rick Pavlik display concentration and seriousness as they participate with their minds in Mr. Saltz’s Physics class. Sophomore Tim Tuttle reflects complete relaxation in his face as he responds to the joviality of another’s joke. Julie McElroy and Lori Frady show their school spirit during one of the NHS Football games. Space in the Forum is put to use, as Tim Maly tries to catch up on a reading assignment. Lisa Schlomer shows enthusiasm about a debate topic. Debate is one of the many academic courses availale at NHS. Ted Stransky, Brett Bauer, and Marc Forsyth, make one of their homework assignments a community project. Vicky Kinning looks on, hoping to get in on some of the answers. 28 STUDENT LIFE Forum: Place For All Conversations “I’ll meet you in the Forum.” “I think I saw her in the Forum.” “There’s no place to sit in the Forum.” Do these phrases sound familiar? The Forum has been made a very well known place, but have people ever considered what it’s been through? During the school year and summer, everything that a person could have possibly tracked in on his shoes, had been tracked across the Forum carpet. The Forum had also “seen” and “heard” many things: students in really hyper, excited moods, the last minute cramming for the Physics test, food, of all different types, and students asking twenty questions about English assignments. Details about some girl’s crush on the captain of the basketball team, and the volleyball girls’ latest victory, were also some of the latest stories. Really, when you think about it, the Forum has been through and heard a lot. Wouldn’t it be interesting if the carpet could talk! Imagine being 3,000 miles away from your home, family, friends, and natural surroundings, coming to a land, to live with people for the next ten months to be your new family. Think of coming to school, having to make all new friends, learn subjects in a different language, and adjust to the fast-paced American way of life. This year four students came to Norfolk, each expecting and having different images of their new Learning All About American Lifestyles lives. Marja Ylisaari, from Finland, and Steen Sorenson, from Denmark, first noticed the hot, humid weather of August. Juha Koivula, also from Finland, found that, “There was a lot more practice involved with American sports.” Adriana Falcon, a citizen of Mexico, said the biggest difference was in the school system, and in American food, which isn’t very spicy. Each foreign student came with one goal, “learn all about the American way of life.” It is not so easy though when you’re 3,000 miles away from home. Marja Ylisaari. a Finnish citizen, shows that even foreign students have lots of school spirit. Adriana Falcon, from Mexico, concentrates on Mr. Saltz’s instructions, during one of his Physics classes. Juha Koivula, a student from Finland, puts some spare time into doing his homework. Steen Sorenson, from Denmark, enjoys an American candy bar while doing American homework. Marja, Steen. Juha, and Adriana enjoy a ten minute break during homeroom. FOREIGN EXCHANGE 29 Individuals Grouped ___________As One__________ Students play ultimate role in supremacy What made Norfolk Senior High supreme? It wasn’t just the building or the grounds; it was the people. Each student and faculty member played an ultimate role, by adding variety, charisma and that special enthusiasm that made NHS “totally awesome.” The class section of the yearbook deals with supreme individuals grouped as one. We all had our individual thoughts, ideas and interests, but together we made an important group. The seniors faced what could be their last chance to be on the top of things for a while, as they walked out into a new world of total independence. Laying out the foundations for college life was no simple job. Working on better study the seniors busy during second semester. Sophomores too were entering into a new world of supremacy at NHS. They were confronted with a big new school, with long halls and “mysterious” rooms, a new schedule, new people and privileges and the changes from being on top at the junior high to starting over at the bottom of the ladder at the high school. The sophomores faced many changes but survived them all and had a 1984 to remember. The juniors were, of course, stuck in the middle. They were granted the privilege of open campus for lunch. This meant a chance to escape from the pressures of school for an hour to enjoy the good weather of the nice fall and habits, taking entrance exams and choosing the right college were all important. Making arrangements for the big graduation day was an event in itself. Making a list of invitations, ordering announcements, getting measured for caps and gowns and a hundred other little details kept spring days. Whether a sophomore, junior, or senior, everyone felt the special feeling of togetherness. The individual personalities blended together into one ultimate student body, following the line of supremacy.

Maybe 10 or 20, perhaps even fewer? This is a very small number compared to what Todd Tyler, NHS senior, reads and owns. Todd owns 5,000 comic books and has read all of them at least once. Most of his books are “Flash Gordon”. Randy Gries inspired Todd to begin collecting the books when they were about ten. Todd began collecting as a hobby, but now he’s turning his hobby into a business. He has three customers who buy anywhere from eight to 12 comics a month from him. He plans to go to the publishers and buy some comics for 60% off the cover price and sell them for 20% off the cover price. He has six, four-drawer filing cabinets full, plus boxes full in his closet. His filing system is based on the title, volume number, and the year.

Friends are people we are attached to, whom we tell our dreams, fantasies, and our ultimate secret of secrets. A friend is the one who will block you from the crowd so you can zip your zipper or scratch that itch. Everyone has a “persona grata” no matter what you look like, your age, or what your social ranking is. Usually our companions are a reflection of our own individuality. We have many different types of advocates. There are our “best friends.” Probably our closest comrades are those with whom we can be seen in the halls and most likely have been going to school with for as long as we can remember. Fraternizations Seen Frequently At NHS Another type of friendship is the common acquaintance. You don’t detest each other, but you wouldn’t tell each other your special secrets or inner thoughts. It’s just one of those friendships that’s nice to have when you’re in the hall by yourself and you need someone to talk to. Also there’s the “who’s your buddy, who’s your pal” relationship. These are seen most often when Mom won’t let you have the car for Friday night’s game. You call them up (knowing they don’t have a date) and butter them up, hoping they’ll ask you to go with them. Then once you get to the game, you space them off hoping they’ll get bored and leave, after you find someone else to go out with after the game. What happens to fraternizations after graduation? Do they fall apart or survive? Hopefully they’ll survive by letters and phone calls during college, by seeing one another at social gatherings or meeting in public. A lot of us will go to the same college and possibly see each other every day. College will bring us many varieties of personalities and different views on life and other subjects. As we go out into the job market. No matter where we are, we will have our friends. Whether close or not, a true friend will always be there when we need him most. SENIORS 39 Seniors Fart With New, Old, Memories For Seniors there was a last time for many things and a beginning for even more. The last football and basketball games, Homecoming and Winter Royalty, and Friday and Saturday dances were all past memories. Other memories such as the organizations students belonged to, the awards they received, and the tests they faithfully studied for were all behind them. Students met new friends while spending many hours in the library, relaxing in the student lounge, or conversing in the Forum. During the last few months of school, seniors filled out college applications, visited college campuses, joined the military, or found a job for after graduation. The parting of old friends, school routine and life style had to be accomplished. A new environment awaited them. Graduation was the final goodbye to the school, some friends, and teachers. Life for seniors on their own was just beginning. High school memories were behind them now. Dave Kruse applauds the girls' basketball team at the state tournament.

Everyone will assemble in the gym. The cheerleaders will do a few cheers and put on a show that involves the sport we are cheering for.” Generations Carry On Old Traditions This could have been one of the ways that traditions began at NHS. Ever since our school began we have had our own special way of doing things. Our cheerleaders, for good luck, crossed their fingers behind their backs during the ‘Anthem’. The Jazz Band dressed up in Hawaiian style to play at basketball games. Sophomores situated themselves on the south side of the Forum while juniors occupied the northeast and the seniors controlled the northwest. Traditions were passed down each year from class to class. Who knows, maybe new traditions began this year and we were unaware.

They got bumped, yelled at, scratched and run into by — no, not other cars, but fellow classmates. What are people doing running into each other on a freeway — in Los Angeles no less? Well, actually the truth was that these people got into a jam in one particular area at the high school known as, “Suicide Hall.” The junior hallway got its suicidal name, obviously, from the way people nearly killed themselves by walking through the mob of people in that hall. Julie Leinen explains the origin of its name fairly well. “They (students) took chances with their lives trying to get down it and everybody was dying to get out.” When students pushed themselves through the suffocating passageway, they got so caught up with the flow of traffic that they had to use hand signals to, “cross the street.” Even though the hallway had many bad faults it had a good side too. When people got their books for their next class they may have gotten shoved into their lockers, but with all the people milling through, they saw many of their friends’ smiling faces and it brightened up their day. With both the good and bad sides to the junior hall, students learned to walk with an indifference to pain as they made their way through “suicide.” Nancy Boeshart Amy Braesch Bev Bremer Jill Brodecky Barry Brown Kelli Brown Wanda Brown Mark Brtek Jerry Brummels Mary Brungardt Victoria Burrell Norma Bush Jean Camp Deadra Carlson JaLaine Clausen Lisa Cox John Cromwell Pam Danner JUNIORS 47 Working diligently in the student center, Paula Effle gets a lot of research done for debate.

For the average junk food lunch, the cost was anywhere from $1.50 to $3.00 depending upon where you went and how hungry you were. The lunches added up and before people knew it they’d blown nearly $10.00 before the week was up.

The favorite spots were McDonalds, Burger King, Ricardos, Taco John and Dairy Queen. The least amount of money was spent at McDonalds and Burger King and wallets got emptied at the higher-priced Dairy Queen and the new favorite — Wendys. Going out for lunch seemed to be the “in” thing to do, so what did the “noncomformists” do during the noon hour then? Well, usually there was some school work to do, or they wanted to socialize, study for a test or they just plain didn’t have any money.

He studied in England at the College of Heraldry and then resided in Elkshire of Calontier. Mike Schoonover belongs to a group called the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), a group that studies and learns about the Middle Ages. He joined because he’d always been interested in the way people lived simply as they did back then. In 1966 a couple of college students from California formed the organization because they wanted to experience the Middle Ages instead of just studying it. The group is now international with seven to eight kingdoms on the U.S. When Mike joined little over a year ago, he started studying about the different aspects of ancestral life such as fighting and arts and sciences. The latter includes poetry, dance, story telling, music, brewing, armoring, leathering and woodworking. There were many different jobs for Mike to choose from, from the knight’s marshal (fighter), to exchec-quer (treasurer), historian, master of sciences, but he chose being a herald. This task involves making up a code of arms for people and, announcing at tournaments. By studying about this majestic age of knights and damsels, Mike has learned much about courtly behavior and the Old English language. Not every teenager can say that they “lived” in the land of Camelot and King Arthur with the Knights of the Round Table.

SOPHOMORES 59 Youngest Reznicek Inspires Brothers “My hardest fight was against a kid named John Hall, at a state competition. I’d never been able to beat him before and the only way to beat him this time, was to keep hitting and stay on him for three rounds. It was hard but I took the trophy home,” revealed John Reznicek. The Reznicek name is nothing new to Norfolk boxing fans. All three brothers, John, Tim, and Greg, have been active in the Norfolk Boxing Club. It’s commonly thought that Greg, the oldest, started the younger two brothers, but actually John, the youngest, encouraged Tim and Greg. When he was eight years old, John heard about the boxing club and decided to try it out, “Something to kill my spare time,” commented John. He never had any idea it would involve so many members of his family. Greg and Tim both joined the club later and their father became an assistant coach. John said, “It takes a lot of skill and work.” Daily workouts included running two to three miles, 100 push-ups, rounds on the bag, jumping rope, and lifting weights. John stated the competition is strong between John and brother Tim. The two brothers have been known to get in the ring together and go a few rounds. John admits that Tim can beat him, but out of 100 fights, John has a 75-25 record. t Lee Cook Linda Cornett Heidi Cox Jim Cox Kent Crippen Steve Cruise Laurie Daly Lori Danielson Cathy Davenport Shanna Davis Timothy Davis Kristy Deitloff Ajay Desai Steve Dietz Dennis Doering Kimberly Doffin Kelli Dohren Sean Doran 60 SOPHOMORES Mitchell Doring Sherri Dreyer LuAnn Droescher Debbie Dungan Jolynn Dvorak Kim Dye Ed Ehrenfried Patrick Erb Todd Faunce Lynette Feddern Malinda Feddern Steve Fehrs Amy Feidler Amy Finch Brent Flaskamp Darla Flesner Sean Flynn Vernon Forney Teresa Frank Shelly Fredrick Stephanie Frey Dennis Fryer Tiffanie Fuhrman Jim Furley Julie Furley Brian Gardels Brian Gibbs John Glanzer Kip Godel Renita Goetsch SOPHOMORES 61 Shelly Fredrick heads back to fifth period after a pep rally before a football game.

That’s exactly what happened to Sean Doran about three or four years ago. Sean’s brother had been working at Earl May’s and decided to take some of the new merchandise home to his brother. “It was a big surprise,” commented Sean,” I didn’t quite expect a tarantula.” That’s how Herman and Sean first met. Herman now lives in the Doran family room in a small aquarium with a few rocks and twigs and a net over the top to keep the cat out. A feast of worms and grasshoppers is washed down with a refreshing drink of water from a sponge. When he starts to smell, Herman is given a small shower Herman, this large, hairy, eight-legged creature, scopes out the scenery looking for a possible victim.

Sean says he’ll probably take it on to college with him. “Most people are not real thrilled with meeting Herman, but I think he’s a unique friend,” finished Sean.

Keep up the good work.” The Norfolk Public School system is the oldest system in Nebraska to receive North Central Accreditation, a very redoubtable honor for any school. The visitation team found the senior high’s biggest weaknesses to be the lack of enough counselors, the low graduation requirements, and the fact that students participating in music, debate and either publica-tions departments were not receiving academic credits. NHS is proud to say the graduation requirements have been raised from 120 to 140 credits and those students participating in music, debate and publications Displaying Ms football fever for the season Is Coach Hal Kuck. Faculty members participate in the school spirit at a boys' basketball game. will receive academic credits, beginning in 1984-85. The honor and satisfaction that comes with being North Central’s oldest participant is all fine and good, but a teacher’s job is never done. Teachers do not just go home and watch T. V. and think up some excuse to tell tomorrow when their homework is not done. Yes, teachers have homework too. There are lesson plans to make, papers to grade, tests to write, and many teachers also sponsor at least one activity. Let’s not forget the rest of the staff; there are the secretaries, the librarians, the nurse, custodians and the cooks. Without them NHS would find itself unable to function. It takes a variety of people to make a school run smoothly. Everyone plays his own role in making NHS supreme. Perhaps the staff is what keeps NHS at its best, giving the students that extra push forward on the line of supremacy. 70 FACULTY CURR. Academics FACULTY CURR. 71 From the start, to the very last day of the 1983-84 school year, something separated this year from any other. Things may have seemed different during the school year as this was the first year for Superintendent, James Merritt as well as four new faculty members, John Heath, Mrs. Marla Fransen, Ron Patch, and Mrs. Colleen Haiar. Although new “blood” circulated through the school there was, “an overall atmosphere of pride and responsiveness displayed by students and faculty alike,” according to Principal Jeff Burkink. Students Cooperate During Transition Mr. Burkink also commented, “I think the new administrative transition was smooth and went quite well, and the student body showed responsibility, maturity, and cooperation.” Administration officials agreed that when students perform well, the feeling is reflected in the administration and faculty members alike. The School Board for 1983-84 are, Front Row; Gene Whealy, Jim Scheer, Mrs. Sandee Linde. Back Row: George Reed, Nick Johnson, Don Dieter.

Mike Tuttle and Mrs. Norton, library aide, share a humorous comment while in the library. 74 FACULTY Discussions Pose Separate Opinion While walking down the hall near room 225 every Friday during the school year, shouts and cries of a heated discussion could be heard blasting out of the crack under the door. Was a riot taking place? Was the teacher being lynched? Not exactly, it was Reaction Day in James Kubik’s Government class. On Fridays the whole class period was dedicated to discussing current events and problems that ranged from the nuclear arms freeze to the death penalty. Mr. Kubik explained, “The whole idea is to have the kids think and voice their beliefs. I want to hear their ideas on the subject.” Often times opinions were voiced vigorously and followed into heated arguments between two or more students. Mr. Kubik went on to explain, “I always take both sides, siding with one, then the other. This shows both sides fairly and provokes the other side to talk. I provoke the students into a discussion. I want reactions.” Sometimes the “Reaction” got a little out of hand. “Some of the kids get very emotional during these heavy arguments and once in a while I have to wear a whistle to settle things down, but that’s what I want,” claimed Mr. Kubik. Students also shared the same enthusiasm according to sixth period government student, Jolene O’Brien, “I think (Reaction Day) is great. It gives an opportunity for people who normally don’t speak out to voice their opinions and it lets other people know what you think about a subject.” Teaching Presents Meaningful Work “We have met some very interesting people through the Norfolk School System,” says Judy Moeller, “I am very glad that Lyle is part of Norfolk High’s system.” Many teachers at Norfolk High School are married and most are pleased with their teaching jobs. To take it one step further, spouses gave their feelings about their husbands or wives teaching. Maynard Ohl, husband of French teacher Joy Ohl, replied, “I am very pleased that Mrs. Ohl is teaching at Norfolk High School. I am proud of her and she is happy teaching her class.” Maynard and Joy Ohl intently watch the NHS vs. Sioux City Heelan game with the Pep Club.

She also spends a lot of time at school with Pink Panthers and teaching her classes, then works on lesson plans at home during the evening.” “Having Lyle teaching at the high school also gives us some insights as to what to look forward to when our children reach high school age,” added Judy Moeller.

FACULTY 77 The people who kept the school running and helped it to function efficiently were NHS’s supporting staff. These peole are the secretaries, custodians, aides and lunch room staff. Norfolk High School has an excellent supporting staff. The front office secretaries, Mrs. Jan Butterfield and Mrs. Barb Zoucha always answered the phone happily with, “Good morning, may I help you?” Our lunch room staff arrived at 5:30 in the morning each day and worked all morning to prepare lunch for thousands of Norfolk students. Supreme Ability Put Forth by Personnel Aides at Norfolk High School had various duties, from running off teacher materials to assisting stuents directly in the writing lab or library. Mrs. Bernita Becker and Ed Hansen were just two of the custodians who kept the school looking sharp. Custodians often cleaned up after Friday and Saturday night dances in the Forum. Support staffs are vital to the smooth running of any school and Norfolk High School has people who give their best ability to aid students, teachers, and administrators.

FACULTY 79 A good education enhances the quality of life in many ways. Students who involve themselves in curriculum decisions have a good start in the lifetime process of education. Students who plan to continue their formal education after high school, and those who will enter the job market immediately get good counseling in the guidance center. Parents also influence their children’s decisions, but in the long run it is the student who controls his own destiny. Approximately 100 courses are offered at NHS. College-bound students are offered all “solid subjects” necessary for college entrance anywhere. Those bound for the trades and other skilled jobs are offered courses in industrial arts, business, vocations, and marketing. Fine Arts courses help to round out all students and give them a chance Course Variety Adds Zest To School Day to perform for others. With national attention focused on education in 1983 and 1984, Norfolk Public Schools moved to increase graduation requirements. A positive beam of light was that Norfolk students continued to score well above national average on both major college entrance exams.

Who put man on the moon? Who was Time Life’s Man of the Year? If you answered, the computer, to all these questions, you most definitely pass one of today’s most important quizzes. Computer use has risen with sales and is predicted to increase sharply over the years. This may be a reason why an emphasis in today’s education program is shifting to include computer courses even in grade schools. So what is a computer? “A computer is a tool to help alleviate work and make life easier just as a calculator or a simple hammer would,” according to Miss Patricia Norman, Computer Science instructor. When asked what a computer could accomplish, Bonnie Fendrick commented, “Almost anything you program it to do.” So while other students are munching at McDonald’s or sipping Slurpees one can usually find a computer science student working on his program for tomorrow’s assignment. What does Computer Science teach you? According to Todd Tyler, “The basics of computer programming and how a computer works. It’s really an introductory course into a vast field.” When questioned why it’s necessary to understand how a computer works in order to program it, Joe Baldacci explained, “So you can get an intuitive feeling for what the computer is doing.” Learning basic programming and how a computer works should prepare students for a world with computers as part of everyday life. This may be the consensus with what society believes and experts predict, and is what Computer Science is all about.

Court Procedures Pose Challenges Sweats, blankets, pillows, and occasional teddy bears are needed for forty dedicated sophomore, junior, and senior debaters at Norfolk High School. With stamina and fortitude, for five months, two nights a week, three hours at a crack, they better themselves for upcoming tournaments. “Standardizing Criminal Court Precedures”, debate topic for this year, allows too many areas to be chosen from,” said Debate Coach Dick Cross. “The subject seems much too broad.” “The topic challenges debaters because all case evidence can go either negative or positive,” replied junior Laura Morotz. “Regular debaters, in a three year period, travel close to five thousand miles in Nebraska, Iowa, and occasionally South Dakota,” added Mr. Cross. “Debate unlike athletics, is more individual and involves highly competitive people; it’s one-on-one,” stated Coach Cross. This was an excellent year with all of our returning varsity and junior varsity debaters, according to Mr. Cross. Allan Hamm and Steve Lenox work intently on their Debate file boxes.

Spirit of Competition Mini-life adds special times at NHS The feeling of individual achievement, pride and enthusiasm is what made participating in a sport so rewarding. The experience of being on a team was something not easily forgotten. Many long-lasting relationships resulted from the intense teamwork. Winning was not everything. It may have been a good feeling to win a game, but there was more to sports than winning. As Coach Brown said, “You can set a goal like going to state and try to have great statistical averages, but you have to have talent on the team; the coaches can’t win the game. So, when we started the season, my main goal was to get the best out of every individual and to work together as a team.” To Coach Bruening, “Being competitive was our main goal for the season.” The team is very important in sports, but what about the coach behind the team? Coach Brown, really enjoyed coaching because it gave him a chance to work with young people. “There are a lot of challenges to face, but the spirit of (Competition was what made us all feel kind of young.” Coach Bruening also enjoyed coaching. “It allowed me to work with young people in other areas than academics. The kids were so different in athletics than in the classroom. I really got to know them better and got a chance to get closer to them.” All teams had a fairly good season but Coach Brown’s girls’ basketball team had an outstanding year, ending up fourth in the state. Coach Brown commented, “The two major ingredients for success are talent and leadership. The girls had a lot of talent this year and four excellent senior leaders who helped out the younger ones a lot.” Sports has meant many different things to different people. Coach Brown summed up his feelings, “Sports is just a micron of life - kind of a mini-life every year, full of ups, downs, people getting hurt, lots of hard work, tears and laughter.” Whatever sports means, it definitely keeps NHS on the line of supremacy.

This year that motto was, “do the unexpected.” Dreams Have Become Unexpected Reality “Winning the first game gave the players confidence; after two wins the team realized its potential to play, and after Lincoln East they knew they could play ball at any level,” Coach Hal Kuck commented. He went on to say that the team’s depth was a major factor in their record, 5-4, as well as the losses at the end of the season. This year was not all for loss because the team tied for first place in the Trans-Nebraska Plains Conference with arch-rival Columbus. Also, the Panthers placed second in the East Big Ten Division. All of this was not expected at the beginning of the season. In the Kearney game, Steve Brockman waits until the last possible moment before pitching the ball to Roger Koerting.

Brandon Stevenson and Richard Brenneman show that cooperation is sometimes the best method. Varsity football, to some a dream, and to some a reality. This year 20 seniors went out for football, all knowing that only 11 can play at a time. There are always some good juniors and sophomores too. Because of this there are a few seniors that sit on the bench. Team Pride Swells, Sideliners Cheer On Many people ask why a senior would go out for a sport when he knows that he won’t play very often. One reason, according to Jim Bartee is, “Playing Varsity Football has always been a dream of mine, and I would rather stand on the sidelines and cheer than be in the stands.” There are many other reasons for going out for a sport such as pride, self-respect, and to get in shape. Bartee summed it up when he said, “What is the use of quitting, it doesn’t solve anything.” Two NHS players, Dave Remter and Mike Mundt, watch as their fellow teammates strive for another victory. 90 VARSITY FOOTBALL Peerless sophomores and juniors walked on the field and took control of the 1983-84 JV football games. After a disappointing opening season loss on a last-second touchdown to Grand Island, the JV gridders came back to mow down traditional rivals South Sioux City, Fremont, and Columbus. Tough JV Gridders Conquer Rival Foes The NHS defense gave up only 19 points all season, 13 of them against Grand Island. The offense got back on track after a slow start to score 55 points over the four game period. Things really came together during the final game of the season as the future Panthers buried the young Discoverers of Columbus 28-0. With a season of 3-1, Coach Larry Blaser was very impressed. “They did very well; we improved greatly from the first game to the last, both offensively and defensively.” Future Panther tries to break a Fremont block, while Shane Merchant comes to assist at Memorial Field.

After a sluggish beginning which saw the team get off to a mediocre 5-8 start, the spikers invaded Grand Island, squeaked by the Islanders 2-1, and never looked back. They roared through the remaining regular season with four consecutive dual victories in which their opponents failed even to win a game. This roll enabled the Panthers to finish second in the East Big Ten in regular season play. Panthers Start Slow Finish In A Flurry The spikers surged into the District Tournament with high hopes. They handily beat opening round opponent Omaha Westside, setting up the championship match with arch-rival and perennial state power Fremont in front of a very excited and very vocal home crowd in the NHS gym. Well, the Panthers “played the best I’ve ever seen them play” as Coach Tom Gannon put it. Unfortunately, the Tigers of Fremont played just a little better, downing the home team in double overtime, 17-19, 15-5, and 14-16. Individually, senior spikers Terri Micklsen and Cindy Ekiss were named to the East Big Ten All-Conference team.

The Panthers really got started when they traveled to Omaha to compete in the Bryan Invitational. Coach Moeller felt it was a turning point in the season. “The week of the Omaha Bryan Invite we started to come on and run real well and kept running well for the better half of Harriers Sprint To Ninth Winning Season the year.” “Running well” might have been a mild understatement as the harriers finished fifth out of 19 teams. Junior Delane Pate led the barrage by finishing fourth out of 221 runners. The harriers continued to run well but both conferences were loaded with talent as were districts. Coach Moeller felt that, “This was one of the best teams I’ve had since I’ve been here, even though we didn’t get to state because districts were so tough.” Even though the Panthers failed to reach one of their important goals, which was reaching state, it was another successful season in a long line of supremacy. CROSS COUNTRY 97 “Turning point” is a phrase often heard when speaking of successful athletic seasons, but rarely do you hear of a turning point that arrived before the season even began. The Norfolk High School Boys’ Tennis Team had a turning point in a very successful season. It occurred in August when Finnish exchange student Juha Koivula arrived in Norfolk to live with the Darin Mackender family. Koivula was the final ingredient to a mixture of players that went on to reign supreme over two conferences. The Panthers, who play in class B tennis, ran into Tennis Team Captures Two Conference Titles some stiff class A competition early in the season losing to Lincoln Southeast and finishing a disappointing 5th at the Fremont Invitational. But Head Coach Doug Brown felt that,” It didn’t make us look good, but it was really a help.” It must have been, as the Panthers went undefeated for the remainder of the season up until the State meet. Included in that undefeated streak were both conference championships. At the Plains meet Koivula finished with a silver medal in Number 1 singles as did Darin Mackender in a Number 2 singles, and Joe Schroeter and Simon Lumley in Number 1 doubles. At the Big Ten meet in Hastings, Schroeter and Lumley were crowned conference champs in Number 1 doubles, Koivula earned a silver in Number 2 singles, and Jeff Walz and Brian Oberle also finished second in Number 2 doubles. Coach Brown commented that, “The highlights of the year were winning the two conference meets, especially the Big Ten. Over all qualifying for the Hall of Fame was a highlight because you have to be consistent throughout the year, you can’t have just one good meet.” The Panthers culminated the year by finishing a strong third at the State class B meet in Lincoln with Koivula, Schroeter and Lumley all making it to the semi-finals before losing.

Linksters Strive To The Rank Of Supremacy “We worked real well as a team, because everyone shot about the same; someone wasn’t in front pulling the team.” With that team spirit they pulled together to reach their goals. Their goals were to reach state and to improve at every invitational. Even though the team never made it to state, they did improve at every invitational, and every team member broke sixty. “This was a rebuilding year in which we could gain experience and add new faces to the team,” replied coach Cover, “I’m optimistically looking for better things next year.” Sara Abler patiently waits near the cart for her team members to finish.

Practice included inter-squad scrimmages, work on offensive and defensive plays, running, and layup drills. “The coaches emphasized blocking out and rebounds, having a strong defense and a quick team,” according to guard Doran Fellmer. As always, for reserve teams, fundamentals were stressed in practice, “To give players experience and prepare them for varsity competition,” stated Fellmer. “We could have stressed our fundamentals better and worked better together but it was tough, due to a lot of switching between varsity and JV.” Barry Brown shoots for two, to add a tally to the JV statistics. 1984 Boys JV Basketball.

He also said, “We didn’t have that good of a record, but we did have fun making it.” Lack Of Experience Still Provides Fun Experience was a mini problem with this year’s team. Previous varsity experience is a large part of any team, and this year there was only one returning letterman; Even he was without an outstanding amount of experience. From this sprang the problem of leadership. Troy Fehrs commented “We did not have any set captains, we had different ones for every game, and Mr. Oman expected all of the seniors to provide leadership.” But even without the great record, the 1983-84 Panther Basketball team can remember this season for what high school athletics are all set up about, enjoyment and learning.

The Lady Panthers finished off the latest chapters in this line of supremacy by capturing their third straight Big Ten title and landing a notch among the state’s top ten for the fourth consecutive year. The 1983-84 Panther edition of girls’ basketball was unquestionably the best offensive team in the school’s history. This year’s team rewrote the record books by setting new standards in twelve categories. Individually two time all-stater Shelly Poppe broke ten school records and Brenda Schramm shattered three marks. Panthers Keep Long String Of Supremacy The Lady Panthers rolled through the regular season stumbling only six times. Five of those losses were to rated teams. But when things really counted the Panthers were awesome. After a tough loss in the district finals to invincible Omaha Central, the teams entered the state tournament via a wild card. With Brenda Schramm leading the way with an all classes tournament record 15 to 18 from the charity stripe, the girls defeated Lincoln High in round one of the annual hardwood carnival in Lincoln. Terri Mickelson called it one of the highlights of the season, “Defeating Lincoln High in the first round of state was a highlight because we avenged an earlier loss; they were highly ranked, and they had only lost once during the regular season.” The Panthers apparently ran out of steam however, as they were trounced the next day by a tough Omaha Marian. Still, the honors came pouring in at the end of the season. The ladies 4th place ranking was the highest ever by a Norfolk squad and left them with the loftiest perch among all the out-state teams in Nebraska. The state tourney victory gave them more wins than any team in the school’s history. Poppe was named 2nd team all state, all classes, and to both the Trans-Nebraska Plains Division and Big Ten all conference team. Schramm was an all-state honorable mention selection and joined Poppe on both conference teams. These two were joined by senior Terri Mickelson on the Plains team and Sandy Schwede on the Big Ten.

Not only was the team virtually injury-free, but five sophomores wrestled varsity the entire year. A superb dual record of 8-1 developed with the team losing only to State Champions, Columbus. Captain Louie Korth commented, “As a team we had almost as many sophomores wrestle as juniors and seniors, but we still came out on top of it.” Coach Boyd added, “Our sophomores had a lot of talent and they had the ability to step in and wrestle well.” This class of sophomores also led the Junior Varsity team to a record-breaking 11-0 season. Unusual Season Turns Out Approving Record Leadership still came from the upperclassmen. Louie Korth finished the season with a 25-9 record and this placed him sixth out of thirteen NHS wrestlers who have forty or more career wins. He was the eighth wrestler to have twenty five or more wins in one season. Korth and co-captain Jeff Long, went to State and placed fifth and sixth respectively.

Coach John Heath, who coached his first year of swimming at NHS said he “Found out how much he did not know,” but, “enjoyed it very much.” An important part of swimming, as for any sport, is the psyching-up. For the boys, it consisted of some painful and awkward actions. Among these was shaving down, for faster times. Qualification Proved By Dominant Tankers Although all team members were valuable, some of the main point earners were Doug Geyer, Ken Geyer, Kevin Kortje and Rich Shaw, who swam with the team for his first and only season. Doug Geyer who also raked in many points broke three school records in the individual medley, breaststroke, and butterfly, all of which were events he did not compete in at state. He felt, “other events would give him a better chance to get into the finals.” “In the future the swim team’s attitude and togetherness will be an important factor in having a successful season,” commented Rich Shaw, “This season was tough, but not tough enough, we could have done better.” SWIMMING 111 aw Tracksters Show Skill During Successful Year With John Baumann as a double gold medal state champion in the shot and discus and Mike Auman and Scott Parker gaining 3 silver medals, NHS came out third at state, one point behind second place, Omaha Central. “We’ve had a season to remember, but we couldn’t have achieved it without the hard work . .. . . . ... .

The question asked by many NHS Boys’ track spectators this year was, “How do you think we’ll do?” and “How many do you think will qualify for state?” Those questions were answered with high praise from Coach Lyle Moeller, “We had more going for us than we thought. The kids really did a super job all season.” Todd Ely practices his discus throw.

BOYS’ TRACK 113 After several years of small numbers and medicre seasons, the NHS Girls’ Track Team began their return to respectability in 1984. With a strong core of four seniors and an excellent group of 22 underclassmen finishing up the season, the thinclads climbed out of last year’s cellar position to finish in the pack in almost every meet. Coach Cindy Froehlich listed the Plains Conference meet as one of the highlights of the season. The Panthers scored 114 points, which was more than any previous NHS team had ever scored, to give champion Columbus (118) a legitimate scare and finish second out of a five-team field. The team qualified seven for the State meet Lady Thinclads Jump Up Success Ladder in Lincoln in seven events and scored in that meet for the first time in several years. Terri Mickelson, Kathy Meyer, and Shelly Poppe were the leading scorers during the season. Both Mickelson and Meyer contributed points at the State meet, placing sixth in the discus and tying for third in the high jump respectively. The other points at the State meet came from junior Wanda Brown. Coach Froehlich stated, “The most improved girl of the season was Wanda Brown. This was her first year throwing the shot and she placed fourth in the state.” Froehlich also noted that nine of the ten points scored at the State meet were earned by underclassmen. Wanda Brown puts the shot 34' 11 to finish high at the Norfolk Invite.

That philosophy was wrong for the 1983-84 Varsity Girls’ Tennis team when they came home with a sixth place at the State Tournament. “State was the highlight of our season because the girls all played pretty well,” commented first-time coach Burgess Powell. “I was very pleaded with the outcome.” “Mr. Powell took a little time to get used to,” reported senior Kathy Bleyhl. “I had had the same coach for three years, and Mr. Powell coached differently.” Mr. Powell also had some surprises he was not ready for this year, “There was a lot of paper work which shocked me, but the girls were not hard to work with.” First Year Coach Claims Sixth Place At the State Tournament there were many girls who advanced to the quarter-finals, but only the number two doubles team of Jane Benson and Kathy Bleyhl went on to the semi-finals.

They had a dual record of two losses and one win, and an invitational record of anywhere from 8th at Hastings to 4th at Plains. Even though the record doesn’t show much Technicalities Hurt Boys’ Golf Season skill for the team, they had only one third-time letterman and three, second-time lettermen.

During this time, most school obligations are over and the student is “free”. Many work through the summer, but almost all enjoy some type of athletic activity. These activities range from a spur of the moment frisbee game to bull-riding. Athletic Activities Help Liven Summer Organized sports, like softball, capture students’ attention. Students eighteen years old or older may play in the Industrial League while all ages can play in Church League. With both leagues softball has many NHS participants, and is probably the most widely recognized organized summer sport. Unorganized sports we can play are relaxing sports like “killer” basketball and football and, of course, swimming. Sports, no matter what type, help make the summer enjoyable and create many memories. Bull riding is one of Jim Watland's favorite sports, even if he loses his hat. Senior John David shows one of the classier ways of playing frisbee. In Church League softball John Hoeppner uses full force in his swing. SUMMER SPORTS 119 A Touch Of Accomplishment The line of supremacy continues, broadens horizons “Want to buy a candy bar?” “Come on, I only have to sell one more and I’ll win the big prize.” How many times during the year did you hear a student giving you a sales pitch and gotten stuck buying something you really did not need? Where did all the money go? Many clubs used the money for trips to games or competitions. N-Club used their money to pay for the photographs in the Hall of Fame, and the various sports organizations used their money to supplement the Athletic Department. Spring brought in with it a busy time for some clubs. Conferences were held for competitions in various activities, such as DECA, competing in such things as merchandising and management, and FFA competitions in livestock judging and other categories. To many, going to conferences was fun and challenging. Getting out of school, for anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days, spending time with friends and getting an opportunity to meet new people all sounded like a lot of fun, but it was not just good times. Many hours of preparation and hard work were spent before leaving and the competition was no easy thing if victory was important. Most people attending agreed though, that all-in-all it was a good time. Organizations were the activities that kept our school on the line of supremacy. Norfolk Senior High offered a wide variety of extracurricular activities for anyone interested. These activities added a special touch of accomplishments and excitement to the lives of students. Some clubs such as DECA, FBLA, FFA, and Computer Science provided students with beneficial experiences for future use in careers. Other clubs such as Pep Club and N-Club were for the support of athletes. The line of supremacy continued as extra-curricular activities helped students broaden their horizons by giving them experience for future use in careers and in life.

I 120 GROUPS ntherettesr Pennies, quarters, nickels dimes. Were these the cries of poor beggars in the crowded slums of New York? No, of course not, it was the familiar sound of Student Council members collecting money for the traditional Turkey Drive. This was only one of the many activities they sponsored throughout the year. “Student council is good because it provides a nonathletic extracurricular activity,” stated Jeff Anderson, NHS senior. Throughout the year, many dances and food drives were sponsored by STUCO. “I feel the student body needs a good representative for things they want expressed and activities they want done,” shared Dick Brennemen. Student Council takes responsibility for STUCO Takes Action; Ideas Become Reality Homecoming dances, themes, and decorations. They also planned the Winter Royalty Dance. They listened to ideas and made decisions which they felt were best for our school. “I think Student Council provides a great deal of leadership that no one realizes. There has to be a small group of people to make decisions for a larger body or no action would ever be taken,” expressed Cami Wilcox, NHS junior. STUCO were chosen by the student body and the elected members chose their officers. 1983 84 officers included: Brandon Stevenson, president, Roger Koerting, vice-president, Dick Brenneman, secretary, and Shelly Holland, treasurer. Steve Brockman and Dick Brenneman spent their lunch hour delivering turkeys purchased with money collected from the students. 1983 84 Student Council officers: Front, Roger Koerting, vice-president, Shelly Holland, treasurer, and Brandon Stevenson, president.

Have you ever been at a loss for words in the middle of an argument, and had to face defeat? NHS Speech and Debate members learned techniques to avoid that type of fate. “You learn how to win the arguments you start,” shared Mike Tuttle, NHS senior. Our school has the biggest NFL membership in Nebraska, which is quite an accomplishment considering all the work and time it takes to be successful at speech or debate. “The gross amount Laboring Inherently, Debaters Strain To Win Poise, Trophies of work is essential to the debate team,” stated Joe Schroeter, NHS senior. Many debaters also participated in speech, which is an individual sport, where as in debate there are teams. Speech included many different events such as: poetry, oral interpretation of drama, humorous interpretation, dramatic interpretation, and original oratory. But there must be some personal rewards or students wouldn’t keep participating. Is it the thrill of competition, the building of self-confidence, a feeling of leadership, or meeting new people at new places? Why do National Forensic League members stick with it? “It’s great; that’s why,” stated Joe Schroeter. Those four words seem to answer the question. Will there be a yearbook? Of course, but during mad hours of deadlines, it was a common fear among NHS Milestone staff members. Publications advisor Mrs. Carol Barney and co-editors Jodi Engel and Jean Brozek gave staff members ideas to create a new look for the Milestone this year. Expansion included a new yearbook size of 9X12, plus the opportunity for the students to have their names stamped on their yearbooks.

FBLA members ready themselves for the three-legged races at their watermelon feed at Johnson Park. “Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) members met at least once a month for either a business meeting or social activity,” stated Paula Strobl, sponsor. Mayor Lou Whitmore attended one meeting and talked to members about business and government. The year started with a watermelon feed at Johnson Park. Other social events included a Halloween costume party, Christmas caroling, followed by a pizza party, and a rollerskating party to celebrate the chapter’s 11th birthday. Social Event Begins FBLA’s Busy Year The chapter raised money by selling calendars, carnations and working concession stand. The money the chapter earned went towards lodging at the Nebraska FBLA Leadership Conference held in Omaha in April.

Hello, Language Clubs Travel NHS foreign language clubs met weekly on separate days during the week to discuss and try to organize out-of-school and in-school activities. Some activities included participation in the annual homecoming parade, and stands at the carnival. Students have varying reasons for joining specific clubs. “I just knew Mrs. Ohl would have a fun organization,” joked Alka Desai NHS junior. Whatever reasons people had, language clubs have always been a good extra-curricular activity for students of various tongues to gather with fellow schoolmates to learn of cultures different from our own.

Tradition was what it was all about. The NHS cheerleaders provided our school with another year of dedicated support. “I think cheerleaders do a lot more for the athletes than most students do,” commented Jill Zoubek, senior boys’ basketball cheerleader. All their work was not done only at games and meets. Cheerleaders spent a large portion of their free time experimenting with ways to raise spirit within the school. After attending her second year of summer camp and early morning practices, Jill Staudenmaier had this reaction toward cheerleading, “It was fun, but people didn’t really seem to appreciate what we did; they should try getting up every day at six during their summer.” They cared enough about their overall performance that each squad spent a week of summer at clinic where they worked, learned, and practiced to improve themselves. “Clinics helped my squad work better together. It was hard work, Supreme Faithfulness Gets Deserved Credit but we learned a lot,” stated Cathy Adams, head wrestling cheerleader. A large part of the cheerleaders’ job was to decorate the school, coaches’ rooms, the Forum, and lockers of athletes. This was to remind students of events occurring during that particular season. Squads also attended all away games to assure support no matter what, and participated in pep rallies to acquire a better student attendance at events. Cheerleaders were not miserable or overworked; they worked hard because they wanted to. “I love cheerleading; it’s a good experience for everyone. You get directly involved with your school,” said Bev Bremer, boys’ basketball cheerleader, who summed it all up by saying that “gaining close relationships, and the courage to be in front of people was also very rewarding; it makes the sunrise practices and after shcool decorating all more than worth it.” 1983 Girls’ sports cheerleaders top to bottom; Deanne Munson, Kim Anderson, Susan Hatcliff, Heather Ernst, and Sheri Dishman, head cheerleader. 1983 Boys’ basketball cheerleaders Front Row; head cheerleader Kim Munson, Cheryl Smith, and Heather Price.

Pep Club, to many of our athletes, was a group of heroes. They might not have thought to always thank the girls who rooted them on at the games, but when asked if they’d mind if there wasn’t such a group, opinions surfaced. “When you run out on to the court or field, with a few butterflies in your stomach, it’s so comforting to be able to glance at a little maroon and white,” stated Brian Mefford, NHS senior. Decline In Numbers Yet Cheers Heard People who didn’t participate in Pep Club could not possibly appreciate its importance, but spreading school spirit and staying behind NHS athletes meant a lot to those involved. “I like being in Pep Club because it brings people together for a common cause, the support of the athletes we are so proud of, win or lose,” shared Jodi Hart, NHS junior. “I think more people would participate if it were more informal,” quoted Linda Schnabel NHS junior. Whether they realize it or not, Pep Club’s signs and attendance at games was very appreciated, whether it was large or small. NHS senior Steve Brockman added, “All I know is hearing voices yelling at us to win, and knowing someone’s behind us, gives the team an incentive to win.” Pep Club uniforms raise heated debate during a typical Monday meeting.

During state convention, members participated in various contests, which they had prepared for several months. The trips to convention were just as much fun as the actual conventions. Amidst stops at 7-1 l’s for batteries and food, members tried to do homework from missed classes with “ghetto” blasters blaring. Everyone was thankful when the destination came in sight. Free time was something to be treasured at conventions because not too much of it occurred. Members swam, played video games, caught up on lost sleep, or were recruited for a game of touch football.

FFA 143 Tim Roggow, Motel, and Cathy Adams, Tseitel, exchange wedding vows during “Fiddler on the Roof.” Jill Zoubek, Golde, and Jeff Walz, Tevye, discuss the upcoming weddings of their daughters. The musical, “Fiddler on the Roof”, was performed November 10, 11, and 12 at the Junior High Auditorium. “The best thing that comes out of any play is the close personal ties that form with everybody who is connected with the play,” stated Miss Vauri Henre, co-director. Talent Comes Stage Front During Musical Besides having technical problems Saturday night when the curtain fell on the roof of the house and it had to be rebuilt during intermission, the play went really well. Due to it being a known musical, there was good attendance every night. “It was the most fun I’ve had in a high school play,” commented Sara Abler, “and it was a lot of hard work, but it paid off in the end.” Mickie Frohberg, a 1983 NHS graduate, helps Bob Shambora apply make-up for his role in the play. 144 FALL MUSICAL Gnirk, Eric Brooks, and Jill Zoubek carefully watch their partners while dancing an old Russian folk dance. Abler, a favorite of the audiences, voices her opinion about Constable Brian Lambley breaks up the wedding of Jeff Walz’s Tevye, daughter, Tseltel, played by Cathy Adams. FALL MUSICAL 145 Darwin’s theory of evolution was excellently debated by NHS students in this year’s spring play, “Inherit the Wind.” For seven weeks the cast of “Inherit the Wind,” the largest cast ever, worked in unity putting the play together. “For weeks it’s like you live together, like a family,” shared Jennie Anthony, NHS junior. ‘84’ Cast Creates A Family Away From Home in Yearly Drama For three nights the senior high Forum was changed into a stage resembling the small town, Hilsboro, somewhere in the middle of Tennessee. “Inherit the Wind” was an interesting drama, made so by the legal dispute between two lawyers, one for evolution, one for God’s ultimate creation. The audience was able to view both well-presented sides and make decisions in their own minds. This was made real by placing cast members throughout the audience to create a feeling of actuality. “This play was my first; afterwards I was sorry I waited until my senior year to get involved,” stated Brian Mefford. The NHS spring play took up a lot of time and effort but the actors and actresses found it worth it during the long and loud applause.

Voicing out in harmony and swaying to a foot-tapping melody were 18 vocalists in pink and gray known as the Choraleers. Meeting every Tuesday and Thursday, along with director Ron Patch, they sang through the new music and learned their different parts to turn out a pleasing sound. “I enjoy being in Choraleers because I like singing and dancing, especially when it’s to popular songs,” commented Tom Baker, junior Choraleer member. Modern Music Creates New. Outlook On Swing 148 CHORALEERS The members included Kathy Gnirk, Beth McElravy, Alicia Frisbie, Michelle McKeever, Christi Kube, Heather Price, Jill Kuenzi, Jeff Walz, Tom Baker, Lee Reuss, Scott Biehle, Eric Brooks, Tim Roggow, Dave Avery and accompanist Natalie Straight. Throughout the year, their performances included the Lion’s Club dinner, Kiwanis Club banquet, Vespers, and programs at the grade schools and the senior citizens’ homes. Even though Mr. Patch was new to the organization he helped the group grow and improve. He commented, “I admire the way Choraleers can bring out the enthusiasm of an audience by the enthusiasm they give off in their performances.” Dave Avery, Scott Biehle, Jeff Walz and Lee Reuss rehearse their parts before the next vocal concert. Russ Puls, John Glanzer, Tim Davis, and Tim Tuttle and Erin Marotz study their Chorus music. Kim Noelle and Debbie Dungan practice their songs for the Christmas Vespers.

A difference in this year’s Vocal Music Department was the addition of the sophomore Swing Choir. As in past years, there were two choirs, sophomore and varsity, and two girls’ ensembles, made up of juniors and seniors. The choirs and ensembles sang a variety of music from jazz to pop. Musical Talent Fills School With Harmony “Vocal music was fun and it was a break from a normal school day,” commented Nancy Vavak, varsity choir member. Also different were the new warm-up drills practiced before actually singing any songs. The choirs and ensembles presented three concerts, including Vespers, Winter Concert, and Spring Concert. Mr. Patch closed by saying, “I wish singing would be enjoyed by more.” Julie Baumann, Sushila Patel, Pravina Patel, Christi Kube, Kim Heppner, and Deb Wilken do warm-up drills before they begin rehearsing new material. 150 VOCAL MUSIC 1983-84 All State Members.

Three orchestra members, Shanna Davis, Ajay Desai, and Alka Desai, two choir members, Kathy Gnirk and Scott Biehle; and one band member, James Kimble, left early Thursday morning for Kearney where the final concert was held.

Alka Desai and Shanna Davis practice the songs for the musical “Fiddler on the Roof”. “The orchestra grew in number this year, which was a pleasant surprise,” replied Wendell Fossum, director. The orchestra had four to six concerts, including the fall musical and Vespers. Orchestra members were involved in two clinics, Beatrice Orchestra Festival and All-State in October. Those who auditioned for All-State were Alka Desai, Ajay Desai, and Shanna Davis. Audience Treated To Symphony Of Sounds “Marching band performed well and received many fine comments from the judges,” stated Jim Luellen about marching band competitions. The band competed in three contests and received a rating of “excellent” in all three. The contests they competed in were Norfolk LaVitsef, Lincoln Public School Invitational and Nebraska Bandmasters Association, which was a state competition held at UNO. 152 ORCHESTRA John David adds a touch of class to the marching band with his sunglasses and black hat.

If you are having a rotten day and you need a little lift, walk down the hall toward the band room and listen to the Stagehand work their magic with hit tunes. Does the Stagehand have an effect on the crowd at basketball games? According to junior Blake Warneke, “The Stagehand boosts the spirit Bands Arouse Crowds At Sporting Events of the crowd. They really get into some of the songs we play like ‘Rocky.’” Besides arousing spirits of people at basketball games, the Stagehand performs at pep rallies, convocations, and places around town. 1983-84 Stage Band.

The band held three concerts in February, April, and May. April 14 and 15, concert band members ventured to Kansas City for the Worlds of Fun Band Festival. The bands competed all day Kansas City Brings Band Competition Saturday and half of Sunday. They competed against bands from six other states in the Midwest region. Band members sold cheese and sausage to help pay some of the expenses. Angie Hall, junior, commented that, “Going to Kansas City this year gave us the opportunity to meet people from other states who have the same interests as we do.” Fifty band members made the trip to Kansas City. Mr. Luellen and the band take a final bow after the last song of a performance well done. James Kimble, John Lindsay, Karl Krugler, Shelly Holland, and Dan McFarland concentrate with all their might on playing the perfect song.

Community Works Together Keeping NHS on line to supremacy Our surrounding area played a large role in the supremacy of Norfolk Senior High and its students. The community gave students more places and chances to excel and to learn. Junior Achievement offered many students a chance to learn about business and a chance to apply themselves in an actual business corporation. Similary, Job’s Daughters and the Boy Scouts helped prepare young people for the future by teaching them to deal with responsibilities. Church youth groups and choirs also added liveliness to the active lives of NHS students. Norfolk also offered a wide variety of parks and recreation areas for the students’ enjoyment. No student spends all his time sitting in classes and studying. Everyone needs something to do in his spare time. Many students took Alan Hamm and friend shop around town for the b««t dealt In used ears. Looking for the newest styles In coats b Steve Jones and his friend. on the responsibility of a job to save money for that dream car, college, or maybe just to be able to keep their wardrobe up to date with the latest fashions. Norfolk merchants offered many job opportunities. Grocery stores, fast food restaurants, and the Plaza seemed to be the popular places of employment for most students. Some students worked a couple of hours every day after school and weekends, while others got work permits to excuse them from school early to go to work. A job meant more than just making money to some, though. A job meant making new friends and learning some important lessons about life before going out on their own. The whole town of Norfolk worked together to keep Norfolk Senior High on the line to supremacy. 158 COMMUNITY Community « '� • Seniors Assume Roles With Community Duties Several NHS students earned awards during the 1983-84 school year. Shelly Holland was elected Honored Queen of Job’s Daughters in April Joe Schroeter of Scout Troop 122 received his Eagle Rank as did Dave Flynn of Scout Troop 120. In November, Cheryl Smith was elected to the position of Honored Queen of Job’s Daughters. 160 COMMUNITY Todd Oilmans participates in a group prayer at an FCA meeting. Can you run? Can you walk? Have you ever taken a physical education class? If you have said yes to one or more of the above questions, you are eligible for membership in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which is sponsored and advised by Dave and Cindy Busskohl, Doug Brown, and Dr. Bob Smith. “It’s not just for athletes, but anyone who has Christian beliefs,” explained senior Brenda Schramm. Fellowship: Not Just For Athletes Anymore “The thing 1 like most about FCA is the conversation and the peanuts,” commented senior Jim Bartee. However, there are other plusses to FCA other than peanuts. Kathy Meyer says that she enjoys the way everyone is so open. “You just get that warm feeling that you just don’t get from other clubs or groups.” Meetings consisted of an abundant amount of food, group discussions, and prayer. Caroling, hayrack rides, movies, speakers, sporting events, and conventions were just a few of the other activities that FCA participated in.

Paul 69 INDEX 189 As the year came to a close the students of Norfolk Senior High continued down the line of supremacy. The seniors prepared to graduate and move on, while those following, stayed to carry on the NHS traditions. But we will all remember the 83-84 school year because it was like no other before. All students have dreamed of having their Year Draws To End But Line Continues school burn down, but to the students of NHS it was a realistic nightmare. For nearly two weeks, during the electrical outage, students bundled up in their warmest clothes and squinted their eyes to see the board. It took a great amount of stamina and cooperation to make it through, but the students of NHS held together to stay on the line of supremacy. 1983-84 was a year filled with many memorable events for all. Reaching goals, overcoming obstacles and striving to be the best we could be, we traveled down the line of supremacy. DeeDee Carlson, Tony Miller, Lynn Rosenbaum, and Travis Nelson toast to good times at the Prom banquet. Trying out for the 1984-85 Pink Panthers are Julie Skeels and Chris Lemmon. Jeff Anderson attempts to take his gloves off before hitting the dance floor. Trying on their graduation caps for size are Vicky Kinning and Annette Frahm. Rob Cook glances through the last issue of the Panther while picking up his gown for graduation. Bill Hoffman takes a final jump for joy as the ’83-84 year comes to an end. 190 CONCLUSION CONCLUSION 191 Line of Supremacy served as the theme for the 1983-84 Milestone, printed by Walsworth Publishing Company.
