Foremost Dieckman, Otten honored with Milestone achievement award The awarding of Milestone Boy and Girl is one of the longest standing traditions and one of the most cherished at Norfolk Senior High. Those chosen as Milestone Boy and Girl represent excellence and can be taken as role models for those who follow. This prestigious award is based on a student's ability to maintain a high grade point average, while staying active in both his church and community. Thus, the ideal students, Eric Otten and Sandy Dieckman, from the Class of 1987, were chosen by a committee of their peers, teachers and administrators as Milestone Girl and Boy. Eric, a Student Council member, was also a Junior Class officer and member of the Panther of the Week Committee. He continued his school involvement by supporting the athletic program as a three year football player. He was selected to attend Nebraska Scholars' Institute his junior year and to be a member of National Honor Society after eleventh grade. He was in Choir and the Fall Musical his first two years at NHS, and the Spring Play all three years. Computer Science Club was fortunate enough to have him as a member as well. As if he wasn't busy enough at school, Eric also took on the responsibility of being an officer of Christ Lutheran's Senior High Youth Group and an active member of its puppet and drama ministry. He even gave up two weeks of his summer to serve as a counselor at that church's camp last June. Surely Eric has shown ps a standard of excellence to follow, as has this year's Milestone Girl. Sandy has been a model for others, beginning with her school involvement. Almost every group she was a part of chose her as a leader. She was president of Spanish Club, vice-president of Girls' N-Club, vice-president of the Senior Class and captain of the Girls' Track team. She was the Sports Co-editor of the Panther for two years and was chosen as a member of Quill and Scroll at the end of her sophomore year. Her community activities were varied as well. She was a volunteer coach for YMCA basketball and gave up countless hours to act as a Sunday and Bible School teacher as well as a nursery helper at First United Methodist Church. She served as the president and vice-president of Junior Achievement and has been a member of the Norfolk Track Club and the Athletics Congress. -K.
