he 1981 SHIELD asked the North Scott Faculty to list some students that they thought were neat kidsg kids who are enjoyable in class, friendly to- ward others, or just reaffirm the teacher's faith in today's youth. Below are some of the neat kids at North Scott High this year, as nominated by their teachers. I think Dave Owens is a neat kid because he is a very hard worker and makes those around him feel good. Beneath that happy-go- lucky exterior is an individual who is sincere and re- sponsible. I can always count on Dave for support and help, whatever the sit- uation. I think Lisa Uhruh is a neat kid. She is an awfully nice person who seems to have a good sense of self which allows 1 her to relate to others in a very sincere, warm way. I think Diana Miller is a neat kid because she has been an excellent worker in the office, AND she makes everyone in there a little happier when she is aroundl Little Miss Sunshine 1980! I think Jake Cawiezell is a neat kid because he is a good student, but most of all, he is a joy to have around. He is always very jovial and cooperat- ive. I think Anne Fury is a neat kid be- cause she is such an enthusiastic, in- volved person, a real sweetheart ipar- don my sexist vocabularyj She is per- sonally so well organized that it allows her time to indulge her naturally cur- ious mind and aid other students with their work. I think John Reed is a neat kid be- cause he is helpful, considerate, and always does the best job he can. I think Denny Kraklio is a neat kid because even though he lives in Bet- tendorf, only two blocks from the high school, he has very strong feelings about being a Lancer. This summer he saved money from his job to buy an NS shirt and gym bag. He is very good to the rest of the kids in his class. While on his job inthe caferteria, he reminds students to throw their trash inthe gar- bage cans, and not on the floor. He doesn't like to see things like littering and vandalism here at North Scott. I think Tod Haney is a neat kid be- cause he is dependable and always very kind. IIN SEAL'-'IQQH EDF I I I iiiiiiiiililll A44 ,

RES WHAT HAPPENED C? ometimes North Scott is like an island. We often care more about ourselves than the rest of the world. And in the long run we probably will care more about what happened here than on the na- tional scene, but there were probably some exceptions in 1980-81. Did you register to vote this year? Did you get a driver's license? Did you finally go to one of those parties you had been hearing about? Did you get a forever friend this year? Did you loose someone you cared about? Did you do something which gave you a feeling of real accomplishment? Did you read a good book? See a great movie? Relate to a certain song? Did you make something you will keep forever? Was it the first year of a decade, or just another year before graduation to another world? What were you doing on Day 444, when you learned that our hostages were to be set free? What did you think as you watched them come from lran to freedom on television? ln years to come will we wonder at names like Molly Hatchet, Wendy O. Williams, Ayatollah Khomeini, Robin Williams, Jim Plunkett and John An- derson? Will weekends still be made for Mi- chelob, will you still have that Pepsi feeling , or will you be able to tell if it is Memorex? Will you care who shot J.R.? Will we still think of Willie on the road again? Will Elvis Costello, Dan Rather, the Blues Brothers, Boz Scaggs, Gilda Radner, Luke, Bo and Daisy Duke still shine? Who will care about Mark Hamill and Carrie Fischer, Debbie Harry and Blon- die, John Travolta and cowboy hats, Richard Pryor and Rodney Danger- field? Will we be watching Shogun part nineteen, Robert Redford reruns, Ben- son and Trapper John, or Fridays? Did the Oakland Raiders really win Superbowl XV? Did Sugar Ray Leon- ard come back? Will the Philadelphia Phillies ever again win a World Series? Did Lute Olson and Kevin Boyle make national television with the Hawkeyes? Did we really boycot the Moscow Olympics? Was John Lennon gunned down in New York City? Did it mean some- thing? What happened in 1980-81 that made a difference to you? Asics Fnom THE scHooL. vm 1 Q if

Sheila accepts her responsibility for her life and makes the most of it. She really cares about North Scott. I think Boise Schoonover is a neat kid because he does not seem to be influenced by peer group pressures or the faculty: his actions seem to come from creative thinking. Being able to express his unique thoughts openly gives him my vote for being a neat kid. I think Tracy Thumann, Ann Ha- mann, and Connie Hoist are neat kids also kind of fun and help keep things that way around school. I think Rachel Bohlmann is a neat kid because she knows how to behave like a ninth grader. Rachel is very con- scientious an ideal student. I think Tammy Hulson is a neat kid because she is very dependable, han- dles responsibility well, is always cheerful and personable, involved in many activities, holds a part-time job, and maintains a high grade point aver- age. An enjoyable, attractive person with a fun sense of humor. I think Mike Campana is a neat kid because he knows what school is about! Mike is a straight student in that he has a knowledge of how to learn. He works hard at what he does and is interested in other things such as sports and other hobbies. Mike is cour- teous at all times and seems to have friends everywhere. I think Tim Gockel is a neat kid because he says hello to me in the hallways. He helps me pick up equip- ment at the end of the period. He is friendly in class and is always ready and willing to do the activity we are planning for that day.

He has THE MEAT KIJIEJJ because they are very polite, they work very hard, they are always cheerful and constantly put a smile on my face! I think Steve Mailen is a neat kid because he read David Copperfield. Anyone who reads a book that long has to be neat. I think Denise Scull is a neat kid because her smile always brings an air of joy to the classroom. She is a good student in several ways. She works hard to achieve her goals that are set very high. Her diversity of interests leads me to believe that she will be a success in any of her endeavors. I think Heath Hartwing is a neat kid because he is always polite and cour- teous. Heath starts out every morning with a good morning . I have yet seen a day when Heath doesn't smile. A classroom full of Heath Hartwigs would be an ideal class. I think Coleen Elwood and Julie Collins are neat kids because they dis- play good humor and charm. They are been the first North Scott freshman to bring home a trophy, and, so far this year, he has brought home TWO for his exceptional humorous interpretation. He works hard and has earned his rec- ognition. I think Deb Anderson is a neat kid because of her enthusiasm and caring personality. I have watched her in Jack 8r Jill take time to clown around with little kids just to make them happy. She is a warm personality who needs more recognition for the leadership she has provided for the school. She comes to class with a smile on her face and appears to enjoy school and life. I think Mel Schmid! is a neat kid because she is just sweet and pleasant to be around. She makes every effort to get along with others.

I think Belh Lange is a neat kid because she is an independent girl who sets high goals for herself and then works to achieve them. I think Jeff Rauch is a neat kid be- cause he is one of the most reliable kids l've ever worked with. He places duty and obligation to the group far above personal likes and dislikes. Jeff has the ability to think as an adult and enjoys using his mind to challenge those around him. I have never had a student who goes out of his way to be helpful to the extent that Jeff does. I think Joni Kuehl is a neat kid be- cause, in her quiet way, she is always UNSUIEJE involved, always supportive, and full of energy. Joni was a natural leader on the business crew of Fiddler on the Roof , helping behind the scenes to make it a success. She is actively in- volved in speech activities, as well as performing very well academically. I think Dann Elmegreen is a neat kid because he really tries his best in class. Instead of making excuses, he works at getting better. Dann doesn't take the easy way out like a lot of stu- dents. I think Jim Sutcliffe is a neat kid because he doesn't let the world around him effect what he thinks. He smiles a lot, which is a welcome sight to any teacher. I think Terri Becker is a neat kid because she is always willing to do jobs for work, workshop, other stu- dents, and teachers. She doesn't ex- pect to be given credit for this, but I feel she deserves a big thank you from all of us. Sf NEAT Kip
