U.S. sentiment subdued during 1982-1983 Any year produces its share of sorrow and of hope. Unfortunately, this past year ignited more sorrow in the hearts of the world than a feeling of hope. The shadow of unemployment followed 12 million workers of the steel, auto and textile industry as President Reagan's program en- tered its third year. Because of the state of the economy, speculation was raised on whether Reagan would run for re-election. The November elections sent 26 new Democrats to Congress indicating a change of course in Reaganomics. Still mending from the November defeat, Reagan, forced to deal with a detachment of support from key leaders in the Senate, pledged a modification of economic policy. The compromise had a short life span, however, when the President proposed a budget in- crease of 1025 in the U.S.'s defense department. Seeing 1984 fast approaching, the Democrats began their rally for the presidency. Unity within the Democratic Party weakened when the race became a political band- wagon which catered to six can- didates for the Party nomination. Chicago, notorious for its com- petitive politics, elected the city's first black mayor, Harold Washing- ton, in April. His opponent, Bernard Epton, came close to winning his bid to become the city's first Republican mayor in 52 years. Washington's victory, attributed to the large percentage of voter turnout, ended one of the most embittered political mayoral races in Chicago's history. The Social Security system loomed at the edge of bankruptcy until a rescue package passed by Congress enabled the system to 2 continue to send monthly checks to the millions of recipents. Late in November, seven people died after taking Tylenol laced with cyanide. The bizarre murders erod- ed the trust of the public in the safety of over-the-counter drugs. A new anti-nuclear grass roots movement formulated in the U.S. bringing the issue of nuclear war to the forefront. The freeze movement gained referendum vote in many states in an attempt to alert the President to the growing concern about nuclear war on his home turf Amidst the freeze movement, the U.S. was dealt a shattering blow by the Soviet Union. Late in 1982, Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev died of heart failure. Yuri Andropov quickly rose to power and pledged support for continued negotiations in the START talks. The dialogue became stagnated however, when proposals initiated by Reagan, were rejected by the Soviets. The world endured an increase in hostilities that brought tensions to a peak. El Salvador's three year war erupted into high-powered confrontation between the Sal- vadoran rebels and the U.S. backed government. President Reagan, requesting a major increase in aid to the region, met opposition in Congress as concern for human rights grew. On the opposite side of the globe, the Israelis and the PLO continued their war over the homeland. Agreement could not be reached although President Reagan proposed a Mid East plan for peace. Weather once again created havoc throughout the year with Hoods in California and Louisiana. Abnormal amounts of snow fell in the Midwest and parts of the south. With all the anxiety in the world, the people found a glimmer of hope. Barney Clark became the first human to receive a permanent artificial heart. His will to live brought strength to the world and at the time of his death, on the 112th day with the implant, millions applauded him and his family's courage. Americans found solace in entertainment. Blockbuster movies such as E. T., Tootsie, and An Officer and a Gentleman sent multitudes of people into America 's theaters. At the 52nd Annual Academy Awards, Gandhi, a film made and produced by the countries of India and Great Britain: garnered eight of the gold statues including an award for best picture. Gandhi received surprise backing from 20th Century Fox to prevent it from being released as a foreign Him. ln sports, the St. Louis Cardin- als captured the World Series. The football season disappointed many. The NFL went on strike for higher salaries for almost three months. At the end of the strike the Washington Redskins came out the winners in the Super Bowl. North Carolina State won the NCAA title by shutting out Houston by one point in the remaining two seconds of the game. 4 um., 41 ,f X. 5,2 M, N Q .R was-M is 'Qt Q.

S.D. holds its own in news National news headlines affect all of us but at times it seems hard to feel how they actually affect the state. People, however, can become more interested in what happens within South Dakota because the events touch us directly. This past year saw much excitement in South Dakota news. The November elections dominated the media. Representative Clint Roberts and Representative Tom Daschle battled for the lone con- gressional seat in a long, difficult campaign. Tom Daschle emerged the winner with 5295 of the vote in his favor. He now represents the largest district in the nation. Governor Bill Janklow rallied for re-election and managed to crush his Democratic opponent, Mike O'Con- nor. The Morrell's strike gained much attention when the plant shut down last fall. The union members struck for more pay and bargaining power. The shutdown jeopardized approximately 2,000 jobs and when the strike ended, a sigh of relief went through Sioux Falls. The weather weaved havoc throughout the state. Snow became much too much of a common occurence. Ski lodges stayed open way into the month of April. People began to wonder if green grass even existed. White-collar crime increased in the state. Jack O'Connor, a Sioux Falls businessman, was convicted of food stamp burglary affecting many in the city. South Dakota became known nationally after Governor Janklow sued Newsweek magazine for a story they ran concerning AIM fugitive Indian leader, Dennis Banks. Banks still seeks refuge in New York state to escape extradi- tion proceedings conducted by Janklow. If returned to S.D. Banks would serve a term in jail. fm ML 30 MW MWMWMW iVz.:, , V rn Q Q, C ,jgb 5 1 VVAB 14, E M ii 'Ulu 7? Puzzle pieces come together at O 'Gorman The faculty and student body of O'Gorman High School consists of a cross section of the city's adults and teenagers. Each individual with hisfher various talents and con- tributions acts as a piece of a puzzle which shows the picture of 0'Gor- man when completed. ln order for the puzzle to be assembled, many people must put time and effort into the school, basically in three areas: academics, religion and extra- curricular activities. Academically, the pieces in- clude science classes taught by Sister Jeanette, shop and wood- working classes under the direction of Mr. Garrison, and typing instruct- ed by Mrs. Flnstad. Although the contributions of these teachers, along with the rest of the faculty, are indispensable to the academic picture, they would be worthless if students did not challenge them- selves and take their classes seriously. The freedom to learn about the Catholic faith sets O'Gorman apart from Lincoln and Washington. Students discuss subjects like church history, morality and mar- riage in the four years of required religion classes. Daily masses in the chapel and weekly large group liturgies give students a chance to participate in the eucharist. Alth- ough religion classes and the daily masses make up an important part of a Catholic education, emphasis is placed on the Christian environ- ment not found in public schools. The religion teachers, priests, sisters and students all fit into this portion of the puzzle. The last part of the puzzle, unlike the first two, does not deal with something required of students and teachers. Extra-curricular ac- tivities involve time and effort outside of school hours and obliga- tions. For example, debaters and their coach Mrs. Ahrendt spend many weekends at tournaments. Those in track and their coaches stay at school until about 5:00 during the spring season. Miss Spelts and the cast of Working spent their evenings rehearsing. The majority of the students at O'Gorman choose to get involved in some type of extra-curricular activi- ty. The puzzle comes together under the direction of principal Mr. Lorang, vice-principal Mr. Moran, the school board, boosters, and interested parents.

Q: What is the best part of your job? Mr. Lorang: Working with other people. Mr. Moran: Working on something new each day. Q: What is the worst part of your job? Mr. Lorang: Working on the budget. Mr. Moran: Having to disci- pline students. Q: What do you do in your spare time? Mr. Lorang: Read, jog and 8 have fun with the family. Mr. Moran: Read as much as possible and play tennis. Q: What might you be doing if you weren 't working as principal and assistant principal at O'G? Mr. Lorang: Clinical or indus- trial psychology teaching or mis- sionary work. Mr. Moran: I gave up a promising career as a brain surgeon to devote all my time to reading announcements. Q: With regards to your personality, what star reminds you of yourself and why? Mr. Lorang: The mayor on Carter Country . Mr. Moran: Tom Selleck- sweet and huggable. The student council's work load certainly increased this year. The group took on the responsibility of organizing the OWL Exchange. The OWL Exchange stands for 0'Gor- man, Washington, and Lincoln. In the program, students from the 3 Sioux Falls high schools transfer to another school for a day. Some students host visitors from other schools. All in all, the program had a successful first year run. In addition to running the Exchange, the council fulfilled their duties of organizing the annual homecoming picnic. Next year's council have high hopes. The uniform program will surely occupy a large part of their discussions. Q-2 'QS Clockwise startlng at far left: Mr. Lorang does hls daily work . . .

Q vi YL g Tuition raised 30 dollars During the 1982-83 school year, there have been a few administration changes, some more drastic than others. First, on a rather happy note, tuition will only go up thirty dollars next year. This comes from more students coming to O'Gorman than expected. ln the past, the tuition would rise quite a bit from year to year, so, this comes as an unexpect- ed change in tuition policy. Secondly, a death knell has come to the uninhibited rampagings of habitual late-comers. No more Mr. nice-guy Garrison, now, if someone comes in late to class or school, he must make it up at 7:30 the following school morning. The alternative is suspension with loss of credit for that day. Notes from parents will not help anymore. lf someone comes in late for making up the tardy, he must make it up the next school day. To begin with, students will get two free tardies that they don't have to make up. lf a student comes to class half-way into the class, he will have an absence spattered across his record. Many students feel that this new policy presents itself as unfair because they now connot get excused by their parents, even if it didn't happen to be the student's fault that he or she came late. On the other side, others feel that the new policy is fair because they feel that any student can get to school on time if he puts his mind to it, with exceptions, of course, such as car crashes, earthquakes or other little inconveniences. 9 SR.

Mr. Steve Krier presents him- self as one of the numerous social studies teachers. He does get the information across to his pupils extremely clearly which comes as luck because if the students don't watch him as he writes his notes they probably won't be able to understand the arrows which he flings across the board, not that these present themselves as bad habits, they just exist. This brings to mind the in- 10 famous handwriting of Mrs. Ah- rendt. Once you decipher the abbreviations and scribblings on the board, government can be understood relatively easily. Mrs. Ellen Erickson presents herself as another of the many teachers that one might encounter in the four long years at O'Gorman. Her English Enrichment Program continues to be successful and in her normal English classes, she managed to keep several separate groups going including, vocabulary, grammar and a few people working on literature and scholastic aptitude tests. 3 fl' I' v ' A .

Teachers tell about backgrounds Mr. Garry has been working at O'Gorman for four consecutive years. He seems to enjoy his job, teaching freshmen Biology. He hasn 't really quite decided how long he would care to stay though. Mr. Garry and his wife Elaine Garry have one 18 month old son, Justin. Mrs. O'Donnel a freshmen English teacher has been teaching at O'Gorman for three years. Before working at O'Gorman, Mrs. 0'Don- nell worked as a resource teacher for two years at Washington High School.

Mr. Brick who has been teach- ing for five years as a Sophomore Religion teacher enjoys his job very much. Mr. Brick enjoys traveling, watching old movies, and singing in various groups around Sioux Falls. Being a former student at O'Gor- man Mr. Brick wishes that the uniform law would be changed to no unlform. Miss Kayser teaches basic biology, biology ll and physical education. She also coaches fresh- men basketball and track. Miss Kayser has been with O'Gorman for five years. She enjoys sports, like softball and volleyball. She also enjoys reading ln her spare time.

The O'Gorman Staff responded to these questions and many interesting answers resulted. Ann Louise Perk, a cook in the cafeteria, commented, I don 't like it when we work real hard on something and then the kids say fvuck'. Dorothy Doohen of the attendance office said, I don 't like having to find out if someone is truant. Micky Lipetzky says she finds it hard trying to answer three lines on the telephone at once. Zelda il 'Q W FH il 14 ,wi ,,, LaFollette in the business ofhce commented that the lack of communication between the staff and faculty members can be frus- trating. But what about the good side of the job? Can there be a few rewarding moments amongst all the chaos of being on the staff? Karen Strasser, a guidance counselor, says that the look in the kids' eyes after they have made an important decision reminds her that she must be doing something right. All in all, most everyone said that the best part of their jobs are the students who seem to brighten the long days.

For starters, the single living classes went on apartment hunts, here, they looked at a variety of small apartments throughout Sioux Falls. Some of the different aspects that the students looked for con- cerning the apartments include, the neighborhood, the condition and cost of the apartment, and making sure the lease is in writing. The single living class also went on shopping trips to local grocery stores where they got a chance to get a taste of the responsibilities of shopping for oneself. The family living classes planned a Kiddie Kollege for preschool children. The activities for the college included, song, stories, games, exercises, and eat- ing snacks. The children aren't the only ones who learn here, the students also learn by observing the differences and attitudes of each child. The sewing classes kept them- selves busy by working on Christ- mas crafts around the Holiday season and by sewing individualized projects for themselves. Everyone knows where the Home Ec. room is, just by smelling the wonderful aromas that fill the G-wing. Here, the Foods 1 classes work at simple food preparation and specialized meals. Advanced foods learned how to decorate cakes and plan special diets. Creative Cookery prepares foreign foods and food for children. The highlight of the Home Ec. year came on December 2nd, when the classes gave the Mini Fair. There, the students modeled styles made by themselves, the foods classes held a bake sale and many parents participated by holding craft booths. 17 Clockwlse starting at right: Natalie Soukup types out a computer program Tom McGraw learns about microscopes in Mr. Engels' Biology l class . . .

Pre-Algebra and Basic Algebra review the basics of mathematics. Algebra l and ll and Geometry, taught by Mrs. Keller, Mrs. Dunn 18 and Mr. K ueter, helps to prepare for more complex mathematic courses. Algebra starts with the basics of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing and gradually moves up to multiplying decimals and factoring polynomials. Many students participated in a national mathematics test. Joe Fleming scored highest of O'Gor- man students. wa. .R ,511 1 3 1 2 Science enrollment increases O'Gorman students need to be congratulated. At a time when math and science abilities are slipping nationwide, our students have been challenging themselves. Five years ago, only twelve students per- severed in physics. This year, with one-hundred fewer students at 0'Gorman, forty-one students com- pleted physics. Enrollment has been good in the other advanced science courses too: Biology ll has an enrollment of forty-two, chemistry has eighty-two students and anatomy and phy- siology has thirty-one. From what we read in the papers, the US in losing out in the worlds' science race but that is certainly not the case at O'G. The qualified teachers and well- equipped labs help to motivate the students. Each year the science department honors those students who complete four or more years of science with straight A's. Students qualifying this year are Jill Connel- ly, Lori Gengler, Kim Miller, Matt Norris, Julie Pederson, Jim Sorell, Tracey Tunender. rw' j 'F' 2 ..f.r Z4'1' ffl' 19 Language clubs holds festival Language classes at O'Gorman consist of Spanish, German, French, and Latin. The German students attended the Oktoberfest at Augustana and a weekend at the International Lan- guage Village in Bemidji, Minneso- ta. Also, they went to the North- lander for a German dinner. This years Mardi Gras took place in Lincoln 's cafeteria. O'Gor- man, Lincoln, and Washington attended this large event. O'Gor- man students performed the Cann- Cann, a French version of the Family Feud, and a skit called The Waltz. Matt Norris and Deb Brimmer were crowned King and Queen of the Mardi Gras. Others nominated were Cary Ronan, Cathy Sercl, Emerson Nordmark, and Dave Richardson. Starting at top rlght: Matt Norris and Deb Brimmer are crowned King and Queen of the Mardi Gras . . . Language Club students elected Tom Slattery president, Deb Brimmer secre- tary, Steve Sabers treasurer, Cary Ronan Vice-president 20 For the second year, students participated in events sponsored by The International Language Club. The purpose of this club is to supplement the classroom with intercultural experiences. The of- ficers planned several events for the year. The first event consisted of a volleyball competition with the winner receiving a travelling trophy. They also planned a dance and organized a formal event called The International Language Club Spring Festival. The parents attend- ed this special night which included a program, and a dinner. The Language Club awarded Steve McGraw and Elise Sudbeck each a 3200 scholarship. This means that they will each have S200 taken off of their next year's tuition.

The change took place because teachers felt that the students did not find an interest in taking communication courses. These classes can be very helpful to the students when communicating to individual people or groups. For many jobs failure to be able to communicate with people acts as a detriment. The sophomores and freshmen enrichment programs continued for the second year with 23 members. These students may take a test at the beginning of the year to see if they qualify for the program. Once in the program, assignments and special projects challenged the students. The work included re- search papers, creative writing, college vocabulary, reading novels, classes required and attending a Guthrie production of Peer Gynt in Minneapolis Minnesota Starting at top left: first row: Kelly Maloney, Yolette Zepeda, Lisa LeMalr, Sean Fields, John Koch, Bridget Van Hove, Jenny Luke, Mary McGreevy.

They now have ten sets of encyclopedias and many other types of reading materials. In future plans for the library Mrs. Osthus would like to remodel by enlarging the reading area, shelves and magazine storage. She would also like areas for small group studies. Used as a study hall by many, the library daesn 't seem like just a place to read books. Mrs. Osthus explained, I love it, the work and the people. When O'G business students talk people listen How do you spell rhinoceros? Where is the H key? Darn it, I'm 75 dollars overdrawn on my check- ing account. What's the differ- ence between the bear and bull market? Slow down, I can't write that fast! Who's going to type my term? I don't know how to fill out this application. How do you work this crazy machine? How the '-tfQ? - am I supposed to till out this income tax form? If you ha ve similar questions or problems, I suggest you register for a business class. They can teach you everything you need to know from shorthand to your legal rights. Classes include general busi- ness, which teaches basics like banking and money management, business English, dealing with punctuation, proofreading, and spelling: and Economics class. Business machines, Accounting I and Il, shorthand, Typing I, ll, and III, office practice, and business law, round out the remaining classes. A point that should be men- tioned, these classes are not just for those interested in business careers but for ordinary people dealing with everyday problems. Another good point, none of the business classes are required except typing I, so you're not forced to take any classes that you don't want. Typing I teaches students how to type without looking at the keys and mastering the keyboard. Do you know your home row keys? How many words a minute can you type? Typing ll develops your speed and accuracy and teaches you how to type business letters and such. Typing III reviews your basic skills to help you in college and maybe, just maybe, you could type 92 words a minute, like the person who typed this copy. All of us should take the economics class. Inflation and unemployment, things that are really bad right now, would be dealt with and would enable you to understand what causes it and what to do about it. Have you ever wanted to copy something and you go up to the copier and don 't know how to work it? You probably felt like a fool. Take office practice and that will never happen to you again. They train you how to work with all kinds of business machines. Ever think of being like E. F. Hutton? Aha, I got your attention, because when you hear the name E. F. Hutton people listen. Well, you could be like E. F. Hutton if you take accounting I or II. They teach you how to buy and sell stock. How about being like a person at H :Q R worrying about Block? No more income tax forms and receipts. No more going into Sears with a bunch of papers and receipts, walking to the H :Q R Block place and saying, Here, will you do my income tax for me? The guy naturally said, Sure , and you shell out big bucks to have him do it. Then you go home and wait another year until the government sends you another tax form. It's all a vicious circle! Well, no more! Take my advice, instead of having all these problems, take a business class and end the vicious circle! Vis: k' 23 Frosh welcome new policy 107 girls and boys go down to gym everyday and wonder what the following gym period will be like. Every day holds a new experience for the people who take P.E. A new policy has come into use this year. People participating in 3 sports are not required to take physical education. Miss Kayser, the new gym teacher, feels that the year is going well. Throughout the year the girls participated in the basics of foot- ball, basketball, volleyball, softball, track, obstacle courses, dance and health. The boys, under the direction of Mr. Talcott, participated in the same things except they also do weight lifting and more advanced football. Not only do freshmen get plenty of exercise during P.E., but they also have fun and make many friends. For some, it was a new experience to have gym every day as a regular class instead of just once or twice a week.

What if you didn't know the hood from the trunk, let alone know how to get your car started again? Maybe what you need is a course in Auto Mechanics, taught by Mr. Garrison. This year forty-three students participated in Auto Mechanics. Mr. Garrison said, l feel this is a good class and a good learning experience because it lets the students get involved themselves with mechanics and it is just just not notebook type things. Along with Auto Mechanics, you can also participate in Woodworking. In this class you learn the basics of structures of wood and what can be built from each type. Students can learn how to construct a variety of different things. Mr. Siska supervised drafting, another part of Industrial Arts. This course enables students to understand perspective and draw plans for a simple shelf to their future dream home. 25 Students study religious areas. In religion this year, the freshmen started out by reviewing church beliefs and doctrines. Their main project of the year was to make a covenant with their parents. ln the second semester, they studied two main areas: 1. the study of the Importance of reverance for life and family and 2. they looked at Christian worship. Sophomore religion classes, taught by Mr. Brick, studied the Old and the New Testament throughout the year. This included interpreting the readings and making up their own liturgy. For the first semester the juniors studied the New Testament in a scholarly approach with emphasis on form, criticism and theology. The areas studied were: Matthew, Acts, Romans, Galatians, Corinthians and John's Gospel. The second semester course called Life and Death examined the different aspects involved. During the life section, they studied the importance of preparing for Eternal Life with an emphasis on respect for all areas of life, from the unborn to the aged. ln the section dealing with death, students became familiar with all areas which would be related to death, from the legal and financial to the spiritual. Death as common themes in literature, art and music were explored. Seniors have researched and studied a variety of different subjects this year. First quarter involved studying what it means to be a Catholic. Second quarter they learned about the teachings of the Catholic Church as they appear in Vatican ll. Then they went into marriage and family life. Lastly, the Catholic Social teaching and our obligation to be concerned with justice were discussed. 26 A ,,.-v-'- ' 'i ' f--fr F fi QQ. FS s Q l A - J.

Mr. Gordon 's Advanced Placement class attended a history day at Augustana, where they competed in the Quiz Bowl and listened to speakers. Psychology Il, offered for the first time this year, studied a variety of topics from social psychology to values clarification. The Social Studies department received a new staff member, Mr. Greg Talcott, who taught World History class. They went to see the academy award winning movie, Gandhi , Tragedies in American History, taught by Mr. Lindner, explored the theories behind the assassinations of Kennedy and Lincoln.

The masses are planned by the students and they participate as fully as possible in the liturgy. The mid-week gathering praises God and offers our commun- ity and personal prayers from the Faith Community. The Liturgy should be for each of us a time of refreshment and a strengthening of our Christian commitments. Different priests have celebrat- ed mass with us, some of which include, Fr. Mike Kelly and Fr. Joe Holzhouser from Cathedral parish and Fr. Jim Kuntz from St. Lam- TX 1 28 bert's parish. Throughout the year, Fr. Cimpl has guest homily writers and speakers. The joyous singing has to be a highlight of the mass. The folk group, under the direction of Mary Ellen Doyle, contributes its many talents to the celebration of the Mass. The group not only sings, they play the flute, guitar and piano. Along with the folk, many solo's have been presented. Mary Ellen Doyle is a regular soloist, but this year Laurie Leiferman, Jeff Barnett, Katie Randall and Jeanne Randall tried their luck at it too and found that it really wasn't so bad. The madrigals, A and B chorus also sang during communion. V NN f jx A wi X 4 ,XX -ff . ,LLJH Clockwlse startlng at left: Lisa McCoy spreads the good news at the homecoming mass . . .

Everyone met at 0'Gorman at 8:00 for the start of many, long rehearsals. When the clock chimed three times, everyone eagerly headed for home. Mr. Smith knew that it would be a challenge to teach seventy-two members and sixteen flag corp members a difficult routine, but things happened quickly. New songs were sounding better, rusty notes became ones of great tone, and along with all this musical harmony, new friendships developed , proclaimed director Jim Smith. After many long hours of practice, they decided the time had come to hold a picnic. After loading everything, they marched off to the park, where band members planned to attack Mr. Smith with water balloons. Mr. Smith knew that the ultimate challenge would be just around the comer. This would really test his patience, teaching seventy-two band members and sixteen flags a difficult routine couldn't be easy. Their routine originated three years ago. Now that school had started they could no longer practice all day. So from 7:00 to 9:00 A.M. the band members rehearsed. They became accustomed to wet, soggy shoes, freezing hands and feet, and hair that left something to be desired. The decision had Hnally been made, the hard work had Hnally paid off Praise they received at the tive home football game perfor- mances and two Dakota Dome performances. The band decided that the hard work finally paid off when they heard the applause at the five football games and two Dakota Dome performances. av 'avi ZR Clockwise starting at left: During one of the regular early morning practices, the band polishes off another song . . .

A Chorus reads their muslc intently. New Orleans Mr. Schallenkamp has heard many a Hne voice emerge from the choir room. A large number of students belong to A and B Chorus and Mr. Schallenkamp makes sure none of their talents go unnoticed. Traditionally, the A Chorus takes a singing trip every two years. At the announcement that they would be going to New Orleans this year, everyone became very excited. They knew it would be a very interesting and long trip. They planned to perform three concerts, the first to be held at the The Shrine of Our Lady, the second at Jackson School and the third at a mall. Everything seemed to be going well, the first concert came off nicely. Then good old Mother Nature stepped in with her roaring Hoods. The singers were forced to lea ve two days early. trip washed out Those who made All State Choir went to Rapid City the first weekend in November. Those who wanted to participate in the Dakota State Contest in Madison, S.D. on March 16th were allowed to. Several placed in the Superior Division. Throughout the year, try-outs for A Chorus took place. The students that advanced from B to C Chorus were: Sara Wintercheidt, Kitty West, Renae Timmer, Lynne Armfield, Jane Baldwin, Kelly Burfisher, Jim Harris, Ron Hayes, Kevin McCluskey, Katarina Lowen- berg, Lisa McCoy, Pat Obele. Katie Randall, Mary Scholton, Greg Slavin, Mary Smith, Laura Tam, Todd Lamberty, and Beth Boyum, Although students who didn 't make it felt disappointed, they still drove themselves to achieve their goals. 32 6 -Ai. Music department deserves three Musically talented students have excellent opportunities to show off their talents and be awarded for them. Students who wish to sing can sign up for B Chorus, which requires no auditions. Every quarter of the school year, Mr. Schallenkamp holds the special auditions in which B Chorus members can take a singing test that will determine if they can join A Chorus. The songsters of A Chorus are considered to be a valuable part of O'Gorman's musical department. 34 Not only do they sing at some of our school masses, but they also bring many awards and honors to O'Gor- man. A Chorus members also have the opportunities to try-out for a group of select singers called Madrigals. There are only sixteen members of this group and they also belong to A Chorus. Another part of the musical atmosphere at 0'Gorman is credit- ed to the band. The people who wish to join band are automatically members of the concert band and cheers the marching band. Other options for instrumentalists include jazz band, pit band, which plays for the musicals, and pep band, which performs at sporting events and pep fests. It not only takes skill to go to a contest, but it takes a lot of nerve. Most of the awards 0'Gorman earns can be accredited to the players and singers that had the nerve to go to the many contests held at different times of the year. Kass ' 1 5 . N . .

The facuIty's planned activities are the same as each year but with one exception. This year, about twenty seniors volunteered their time to help make the retreat more meaningful for everyone, especially the freshmen. The facul- ty members and those who con- tributed their time to stay with the noisy frosh cannot be forgotten. Also, the parents of the freshmen pitched in on the twenty four hot dishes, twenty one salads, twenty one desserts, twenty five six-packs of thirty two ounce pop, and twenty five miscellaneous packages of chips and snacks. Twenty of these moms and 38 dads stayed to help feed the growling stomachs. The activities started with everyone meeting in the library. Headed by seniors, they all split up into small groups. The groups would then go to separate rooms for a few minutes of getting acquainted. A variety of speeches from Fr. Mike Kelly, Mr. Brick and Fr. Chuck Cimpl decorated the rest of the afternoon. By 6:15, a crowd of hungry freshmen piled into the cafeteria for a candle light dinner and a course in practicing etiquette. At 7:30, they watched Paul Newman portray a jail bird in the movie Cool Hand Luke . Afterward, a twenty minute recess out on the Quad gave everyone a chance to relax. The Freshmen become instant actors and actresses when they all invented and performed skits in front of one another for a half hour. At 11:15, you could find the ever-vigorous freshmen dancing to a new wave dance that seemed well received. The time sure flies when you're having fun, and in no time at all 3:00 came and time to roll out the sleeping bags. Within Hve hours, the sleepy-eyed freshmen crawled out of their sleeping bags and prepared for the 10:00 A.M. mass. The parents came to celebrate the mass. Coffee and rolls in the cafeteria topped off the entire weekend. All in all, the retreat turned out to be a huge success. ,473-Xt 5 t it qw QQ Hs Mmfd 1 l f u 1 n 9.-1 .K .. l ls X Fvumdlfl fs '23 gn 'vm A 15V -K ':.,.,2k ml A ' .

Questions like: Will l make any new friends? , Will high school be like jr. high? and Will the kids and teachers like me? ran through their minds. The big day finally arrived and they left behind the red and gray uniforms of Cathedral, the blue uniforms of St. Marys and put on the brown of 0'G. To many coming from public schools, a new exper- lence awaited them with the wear- ing of uniforms. All clean and polished, they got 40 into their cars and headed for O'G, wondering why summer couldn't have lasted just one more week. Determined to make it through the day, they kept going. As they climbed the steps of O'G, everyone was talkative and friendly and they realized that high school might be okay. In the confusion of the first day, upperclassmen found time to help the frosh find their way around. They even gave tips on how to avoid Mr. Garrison's list. The feelings of doubt the freshmen felt the first day disap- peared as the year progressed. 1111 i Q, - --...H as e- .s s .:.- ...ft - fe: : -S rf L Q Q Xa Q ggmrmn ,f ef. 1 . s ' ' N u is X - . is X 3 F 'QQW 2 . w wf-risen. xxx . sag ' . v . . x 5 15537-'X Mlchelle Hauk Genle Heller Terl Henrlkson Dan Hlll Russ Hobson Dawn Hudson Amy Humpreys Mlchelle Jaacks Ted Jaeger DeDe Kelly David Kennedy Kathleen Knudtson Jennifer Knutson Morgan Kolberg Corrle Kollars Dave Kreager Greg Krler Todd Lamberty Michele Larsen Llsa LeMalr Mlchelle Lowe Mlkkl Lund Clockwlse starting at left: Travis Thle relaxes during hls lunch mod Bob Dougherty enjoys Type '24 lunch . . .

Seventy-five percent respond- ed that they enjoyed playing sports. Five percent stated that they just like watching sports. Twenty per- cent enjoyed seeing movles. Many said that they just like to be with their friends. Other questions posed ranged from jobs, school subjects, and TV programs. Out of the 155 students polled, 42 girls and 43 boys have jobs. Many of the students babysit or have different yard jobs, while some work in fast food restaurants. The majority of the first year students liked Biology the best, followed by Algebra. The TV program MASH, rated flrst and Fame followed second.

Monday morning and the alarm clock almost jumps off my table. I push the snooze button and settle back for 10 more minutes of sleep. However, It seems like only 23 seconds and the alarm sounds again. I cover my head with my pillow but sure enough, Dad calls at my door, Time to Roll out. What can I do but hit the floor, glance in the mirror as I go by and jump into the shower. It only takes 39 minutes to be transformed from a sleepy klutz into a glamorous Pac Man, ready to eat the world. Out I go to my car, lt better start. Wlll my riders come when I honk? Will the traffic accommodate the rush l'm ln? Arriving at O'G at 5 to 8 I even get a fairly good parking spot. As I climb the steps I can't help but think why Pac's ghost hasn't gotten me yet. But I enter the real maze as I open the door of O'G. First to my locker, hurry champ chomp, then to G-wlng for my first class, hurry, hurry, champ chomp, there's a ghost but l'm safe inside my class as the doors close English class moves right along. Some of the poems we are studying even rhyme.

This year, instead of the year long magazine drive of previous years, the faculty saw fit to have just a ten day drive. The goal had been set at 330,000. Previous years, the school had only collected S8,000, but Mr. Tom Lorang felt confident that the school could reach its goal. First day: the school pulls in .S'5,000, the sophomores had sold the most magazines. It contin- ued like that throughout the ten days, prizes of albums and stuffed animals belng given to top sellers. On the ninth day, 0'G shot past its goal and when the sales had been counted on the tenth day, 841,000 had been collected, a new state record. One-fourth of it was to go to O'G. The top sellers of the ten-day ordeal went to Minerva 's to have dinner with Mr. Lorang. The names of the students who had sold over S100 worth of magazines went into a box and the lucky person whose name had been drawn got a choice between S100 plus 10 percent of what they had sold or a stuffed animal. For some reason, no one took the stuffed animals. The drawings were held for S200 and 3300. But after all had been said and done, the sophomores had sold the most magazines and so, got to pick which day 0'G would get off school for reaching its goal.

'K 'Um' Sophomores' retreat focuses on This year's sophomore retreat consisted of two parts: the friend- ship and the church discussions. The friendship portion consisted of a speech given by Fr. Michael Kelly of Cathedral about ways to lose friends such as being undependable and obnoxious and also ways to keep friends such as giving each other space and giving constructive advice. After Fr. Kelly's talk, the sophomores split up into discussion groups which had mediation done by volunteer seniors. The groups 17..- ' 1 -Q1 L. 'SZ' AQYT Q r av, ' x A .

Then the sophomores listened to a talk given by Fr. Mike Malloy of Christ the King about the impor- tance of going to church on Sundays. Finally, the long awaited dinner time drew nigh, consisting of potato chips and hamburgers. Unlike the freshmen retreat, the dining speech failed to rear its gilded head this year. After an hour of free recreation, Mr. Telcott took ,,, C, f l Qi? if -Maj 'mf 4 ,. 'lggwil 4.

The transition from freshman to sophomore has affected some students more than others: some seem to be totally unchanged, at least emotionally, by the transition, but others have received the new challenge with zeal and grown to meet their new station as people the new freshman can look up to as models for the future. 4 ..- 2 ' Heidi Henderson K Shelley Henriksen 5:1521 Jolene Hlebert ' Vlrglnla Hlllberg Q Renee Hleblchuk Robert Hoffman I 1 8 R lk if HPF lol' if Shaun Hollenbeck Llnda Holmes Pat Honerman Mary lgnowskl Patty Orvlne Mary Jackson Bob Josten Tlm Jurgens Sherri Karen Sherri Kautz Greg Kennelly Christina Kleppln Pat Knelp John Koch Krls Koehn Dale Kohl 'Y Sew Kaarin Kolberg Da ve K uch ta lor, 49 Dan Kuchta Shaun Kunkel Mike Lalley Noel Landuyt Blaln Larson Kaaren Larson Chrls LeMalr Mary Livermore Terry Loonan Jenny Luke Llsa Mack Kyle Maloney Rebecca Manning Marty Mapes Missy Mapes Jonda Marso Steve Marso Jim McCleerey Mary McGreevy Lee Ann McGuire Jeff Meert Joe Mlller Dan Moran Rob Morgan 50 ..

A A ig, Sophs like choice ln freshman year students had to take many required courses. Limits put on experimentation with electives made the frosh look forward to their coming years at O'Gorman when they would have a chance to choose more of their own courses. Sophomore year marked a big step in students' lives. Their choices of classes expanded. Many took advantage of the wide range of courses offered. Languages, debate, oral interpretation, and choir scored high among this year's sophs. With a little freedom gained, sophomores still had to take some mandatory courses. A semester of typing, sophomore religion taught by Mr. Kevin Brick, and a year of U.S. history headed the list of needed courses. N A few students decided not to take U.S. Early and Contemporary history this year but instead postponed it until next year when they could take Advanced Placement History. This class presents a greater challenge to the students and also allows them to test out of classes in college. ,.. We N K This year's sophs now look forward to next year when even fewer required courses need to be taken.

They are no longer the new kids on the block nor are they part of the upperclassmen. Responsibilities increase to some extent but not enough to make a marked difference. College still seems a long way off Time still winds slowly. A need to prove oneself is present. On a lighter note, for some sophomore year means not sitting at the tables farthest away from the pop machines in the lunchroom. Many also enjoy the experience of calling others, frosh. Being members of the middle year, students learn to adjust. Guidance from the upperclassmen becomes important and they all look forward to next year when they will be members of the upper half of the school. 53 1 K e o 'Yah Brian Anderson ,..

T. finds home with Juniors The plague of trends has overcome the junior class again, taking the form of just about anything from headphonefcassette recorders to various Smurf para- phernalia including folders and earrings. The students found time between diligent studying and work for seeing the latest Hlms such as E. T. , this year's biggest block- buster to An Officer and a Gentleman and Tootsie , the comedy hit of the year. 54 The sounds of music from such groups as Men at Work and their debut album in the U.S., the Stray Cats and the Clash resounded in the eardrums of many students. Music Television IMTW became a common term at O'G, showing video tapes of groups playing their music. New trends appear everyday. What will they be next year???

Seniors would have to find another way of Hnancing their dance and sophomores would have to start thinking about their plans after high school. The students would not be prepared as well for life outside the conhnes of high school and the teachers would have to be content with only three fun-filled retreats a year, which in itself would be enough to bring grown men to tears. Where would all our creative geniuses come from? From the freshmen? No, they don't have enough years on them. From the Seniors? No, they have better things to think about. So it would be left to the sophomores who would still not be quite as active in various fields as upperclassmen. So, next time that you see a junior, be thankful that you don 't ha ve to bear his or her burden. The juniors have become an intricate part of O'G life and the life of the O'G community. This can be seen in the ways in which the juniors get involved in so much around O'G: almost half of the Flag Corps had juniors for members and they have easily inHltrated the ranks of the cheerleaders.

Un- fortunately, though, they have not dominated the band department, but there is time! This year, a movie entitled, The Class of '84 was unleashed on the unsuspecting public. Alth- ough it deals with college students, it presents a slight resemblance between the students depicted in the film and our own class of '84. Only time will tell if today's juniors of 0'Gorman will be anything like that.

This shows in itself that the juniors have had enough years of school to be wise but at the same time, they will be around for awhile longer than the seniors. The juniors, also, can watch the seniors, learn from their mistakes and make different mis- takes when they are seniors. The other side of this appears also, but it employs the seniors successes and what can be learned from them. On a sad note, the juniors won 't have Fr. Tony Opem to rely upon anymore. Fr. Opem left on January 4 of this year to go to St. Joseph 's at Elk Point to partially rebuild the church. Fr. John Riedman of the Fargo diocese, replaced Fr. Opem. Tom Kogel Patricia Krler , ...

Now, the former sophomores have more responsibilities such as setting a good example for the lower classmen and also trying to look like they know what they're doing, even if they don't. Along with this there comes more work to do because the teachers feel that they can probably handle it and the work gets harder so that the juniors don 't die of boredom fat least from the workj, but these get partially offset by the new prestige and freedoms that come with being an upperclass- man. Besides these responsibilities and prestige, Innumerous hopes arise, including ones that the teachers they will be encountering are not the ones they have heard horror stories about. Anxieties also present themselves over what the new year will bring ln the way of grades and social acceptance. This year some of the juniors will take the imposing, but not entirely impossible, ACT or SA T tests which they may have worked on ln sophomore English. This does not say that the juniors didn't par- ticipate in the usual dances, includ- lng the one sponsoring the senior dance and support teams at various games. 61 CLASS O 19 3 If ivx 'xy E W, my 62 kan-5 in-.1 'Q iff, i s 'ik X Lxw W ,-ein...

This may not be com- mon at some schools but at O'Gorman 8196 of the senior class will go to college. This does not come as such a shock because the upper half of the class all have above 3.0 grade point averages and one has to get into the top half of the class, in order to get into many colleges. Many people may wonder why so many students would go to college since it has become quite expensive and one won 't necessarily find a job when one graduates. Apparently, the students feel that further education will benefit them class uncertain in the long run. There are also some reasons to pursue a non-college post-high school life. This could come in the form of going to a training center of some sort, possibly going into the armed forces, getting an unskilled labor job, obtaining an apprentice- ship or any number of jobs. Again, though, a job might not come with the family, or even oneself for that matter. Of the futures of this year's departing senior class, no one can say for certain, but, wherever they go, and whatever they do, let us hope that they carry a bit of the O'Gorman spirit with them.

Sheryl Wehllng Bill Wels Peter Weiss Julie Wlngert North Enders past revealed by secret source O.K., now remember our deal. You can prlnt this in the book but I don't want my name connected with anything that is said here. All right? I had just joined 0'Gorman's yearbook staff and I was on my first big assignment. Before this all I had worked on was the Index pages but now I had a chance to break wide open the biggest story ever dis- covered. I had received a call from an anonymous tipster early this morning. The man had told me that he knew I needed to write some exciting senior copy. I asked him how he knew. He said, The way I know Is not Important. I have a blg scoop for you on some seniors at 0'Gorman. It Involves the North End kids. The North End klds? What about them? Just meet me ln the auditor- ium backstage at 3:00 p.m. There is one condition, he paused. What? You do not see my face and you don't reveal my name In your copy. Agreed? nyes. U His insistent questioning brought me back to the business at hand. Is lt a deal? I'm sorry, yes. Please begin. O.K. It must have been about 6 or 7 years ago that I was a recreation counselor at Terrace Park. It was a tough job, you know. You had to keep the kids busy and let me tell you, that was hard. The hardest time I had was the time I had the North End kids - Pat Lalley, Clay and Dan Boyum, Dave Butler and the Kunkel brothers. They came up to me the first day the park opened and told me that last year's counselor had had to quit. Why? Don 't Interrupt. Like I was saying they told me about the last counselor they had had. Well let me tell you I had a time. They'd start these surprise mud fights by hook- ing up the hoses. Their favorite trick was to accidentally klck the balls into the lake. Did you have to go and get the balls? Of course. I remember one time we were playing softball and I slid into second base and ripped my pants, I swear they had something to do wth that.

A variety of talent continues The homecoming festivities began with the variety show and coronation. Students and faculty members revealed their talents under the spotlight. Donna Faini, a sophomore, performed a jazz dance. Donna started dancing 12 years ago. She teaches dance at Tanglefoot Studio for the younger kids. She says it's a good experience. Performing a different type of dance, Missy Mapes and Jeanne Barnett did a modern routine which symbolized good versus evil. Pat Donahue and Dan Brown played guitars. Even the teachers showed their talents by playing Faculty Feud . Father Cimpl played the part of Richard Dawson. The teams consisted of O wing versus G wing teachers. Questions included, Where in O'G does the most learning take place? Answers varied from Mr, Lindner's room, to the correct answer of the G wing bathroom. The Senior girls dressed up in football team jerseys, with Barb Schaeffer playing Bob Burns. Dan Boyum's Death Defying Feats included juggling eggs, a ball, and an egg and an orange at the same time. The M.C.s, Janelle Ranek, Jill Connelly and Matt Norris kept things running smoothly between acts with a humorous storyline continued throughout the show. Janelle, excited about the upcoming homecoming dance, hoped she would be the lucky girl Steve Johnston would ask. When she found out Steve had already asked Jill, Janelle tried unsuccess- fully to get her revenge with Matt acting as a mediator between the two. 83 Knights crown The coronation became the climax of the variety show. Spot- lights shone on the royalty as they paraded up the center aisle. Former king and queen, Pat Picasso and Nikki Ellerbreok, walked up for the second time - this time to give away their crowns. The crowd listened attentively. The crowd then cheered as Mr. Lorang named Jim Viereck and Mary Ellen Doyle the king and queen. Viereck, Doyle Twelve years ago, Father Eng- lert graduated from O'Gorman High. He returned to help celebrate the Knights' homecoming by per- forming mass. Father Englert said he enjoyed the music and singing the most. The O'G graduate thought that performing mass made a good addition to the festivities. It also pleased him to sit next to his high school teacher, Father Opem. 1 .Vw i' X .A 'FX Q 1-it V ix Clockwlse startlng left: Mary Ellen Doyle and Jlm Vlereck step down from the stage as klng and queen . . . 1982 HOMECOMING ROYALTY Front row: Dawn Henrlckson, Greg Jamison, Katy Dougherty, Scott Jones, Mary Ellen Doyle, Jim Vlereck, Jeanette Lovett, Jlm Sorrell, Barb Schaeffer, Joe Fleming.

Certain TV commercials accur- ately describe this activity: the Alka-Seltzer commercial that says, Its enough to give you an upset stomach, and the Calgon commer- cial that says: the doorbell, the kids, the dog - Calgon take me away from it! Only in our case its the advisor, the pictures, the layouts! To make it even more hectic this year, both publications have new advisors, who have to learn the ropes, Mr. Doug Basche and Mrs. Kathy McGreevy. But with alot of work and determination we made it through this crazy year and met our deadlines.

According to the National FCA Conference the purpose of the FCA 1- , 1 1 N, F.

Debate: lvl to discuss opposing points: to deliberate, consider: the act of debating. A simple enough definition, sounds like a slack activity, huh? Well, looks can be deceiving. Not any simple-minded person can be in debate. You need a complicated vocabulary, patience, and a mouth that is ready to express ideas, which all of O'Gorman's debators truly exemplify. Debate has four different areas: extemporaneous, oratory, tradition- al debate, and Lincoln-Douglass debate. Extemporaneous means un- rehearsed or impromptu. In this category, you draw out a topic on a current event and do your darndest to win. At the Washington Inv., Liz Piersol took 5th place and 1st at the divisional, while, Jenny Luke took 2nd at Madison. 88 The definition, of memorized speech, fits the category of oratory. In this category, Tami Domeyer took 5th in the divisionals and 5th at the Lincoln Silver Bowl. Traditional debate, what we all picture in our minds, pits two people against two others in a furious, somewhat planned out battle. ln this category, Liz Piersol and Tami Domeyer took 9th at the Midwes- tern Invitational and at the Univer- sity of Nebraska Tourney, while Nancy Hobson and Anna Sochocky placed 5th at the divisionals. Other honors in this category include: Laura Tam and Yoli Zepeda taking second place in speaker points at Lincoln Nebraska and Kathy Harris and Karen VanBuskirk remained undefeated in novice debate at Lincoln. The last Douglas debate, pit one-on-one with category, Lincoln- prepared defenses. This category, Jenny Luke broke into the semi- finals at the Midwestern Tourney. All in all, the debate team ended a very accomplishing season under the coaching of Steve Sim- mons and Cindy Ahrendt.

Mary Ellen Doyle with humorous, Pat Lalley with prose, Jeanne Barnett with poetry, Matt Norris with oratory, Kevin McClus- key with dramatic, and Jeff Barnett teaming up with Rita Kane, for duet-acting, made up the fine group of interpers. The O'G students left the judges spellbound at both the divisional, and state contests. Seven students went into Augustana divisional contest filled with fear and anxiety, and about eight hours later, seven came out Hlled with joy and pride. Then, at the state contest, O'Gorman received super- iors in all but one division. The YY. O'Gorman interpers can be thought of as a family, which could be seen at any of the contests. When one wins, everyone congratulates each other and when one loses, everyone consoles each other. The interpers act as a team. The divisional and state con- tests make up only a small portion of the total contests they attended. Others include, Springfield contest, The Silver Bowl, Clear Lake Invita- tional, Midwest Tournament Invita- tional, Washington Warrior Invita- tional, and the NFL Contest. At the Springfield Contest, Jeanne Randall and Janelle Ranek took first, Karol O'Connor and Laura Buckwalter took seconds, and Nancy Gellerman took a third. At the Midwest Tournament Invitational, Mary Ellen Doyle took home a third in humorous. At the Washington Warrior Invitational, Jeanne Ran- dall, Mary Ellen Doyle and Theresa Brunetti all placed. At the Clear Lake Invitational, Jeanne Barnett took a third, Kevin McCluskey and John Richardson took a first, Rita Kane took a fourth, Kevin McClus- key took a second, Jeanne Randall took a third, and Karol O'Connor took a first. Also, Pat Lalley and Mary Ellen Doyle did well at the Silver Bowl. Another very impor- tant contest, the NFL, included winners Pat Lalley, Karol O'Connor, Jeanne Barnett, and Rita Kane. 89 'fi ,va ,- I E953 ffl: fh , I P W, , xg ' m if V .

How would you like to be in the director's shoes? Well lucky for Miss Spelts, we have Mr. Brick and the students who volunteer their valuable time. Hammering, sawing, painting, sta- pling, plastering, measuring, cut- ting, glueing and sweeping, include many of the rewarding activities the technical crew does. Then just to egg spice up the long hours of construc- tion, they have an occasional paint tight here and giggling gab session over there. But between the horse play, a lot of work does get done, Mr. Brick makes sure of that. So you see, without the tech- nical crew, to build the set, pull the curtains, work the lights and sound: the old saying that says The show must go on would be changed to The show can't go on!

The cast of 12 included Lisa McCoy as Mary, Matt Norris as Joseph, an Kevin McCluskey as the evil and wicked King Herod. The others played varying parts for each section of the play such as the three wise men, maids and servants, Joseph 's donkey and the animals in the stable. The good humor man, a character not usually found in the nativity story can be classified as an updated comical version of the innkeeper. lt all came together under the direction of Mary Ellen Doyle, Marie Spencer, and Katarina Lowenburg. The dancing, singing, and acting in the play put the grade school Christmas plays that we probably were all in, to shame.

Characters included Theresa Brunetti as Snoopy, the dog with fantasies of gunning down the Red Baron, Jeff Barnett played the totally inept Charlie Brown, Katie Randall acted as Charlie Brown's little sister, Sally, Matt Norris played Betho ven 's disciple, Schroeder, Mari Teeman played Schroeder's unwanted girlfriend, Lucy, and Jim Billion portrayed Linus, the boy with a blanket addiction. The show tells the story of Charlie Brown and his struggles not to do idiotic things, such as making a fool of himself in front of his true love of his life, the little red-haired girl, and of trying to win a game of baseball for once in his life and amuses all ages his friend's struggles to be patient with his ineptitude during games when he invariably either pitches a perfect ball to the opposing team or misses the ball completely when he's up to bat. The scenery, a group of colored blocks in various shapes and sizes, served as anything from chairs to seesaws. The main skits included one in which the group lamented over several topics ranging from whether to wait until the next day to do the assignment, to how many words they could think of that are vaguely related to the subject of the book Peter Rabbit . A small pit band consisting of Mary Jensen, Jeff Hurley, and Sheila McGreevy accompanied the charactors during the musical numbers.

I like it, except on Mondays. These lines echoed throughout many weeks of preparation, then finally, regional and state one act competition of our one act play, Working , an adaptation of Studs Turkel original version. With a cast of 14 members, the real working world was reincarnat- ed into an ensemble. Matt Norris' impersonation of a gas man brought the reality of the events of outside world into a humorous state. Mrs. Rose Hoffman, played by Katie Shaeffer, blended a successful interpretation of an old-time school teacher with the comical discipline problems of a classroom. Grocery shopping to the beat of The hips, the hands, and the register put rhythm into the shopping bag. Mary Ellen Doyle took the stage playing the part of an every day waitress. She loves her job because of the people she meets, and she wouldn't give it up for anything. For the 5th straight year, O'G's one acts have been rated superior in state competition. All actors received superior awards for par- ticipating in the ensemble. 96 J we 'E NX vgk Q A 5 35 -,gn . 'wr Q., F' ,Y Y, W x ff' 44 u I v 'Qlf W 3 X A if-f MB X Ax ww A Q 'iles 'sh My f ,ww SHE.

A system of points sets the standards for the selection of the new members. Students obtain these points by being involved in the various areas of drama such as: acting in plays, working on set construction, helping direct plays and taking drama, oral interpreta- tion and speech classes. The new thespians must participate in initia- tion week, which actually lasts three days. They started on Monday by dressing up and going out for breakfast then once at school, they received homemade corsages. Then came the hard part, throughout the day whenever they saw an old member, they had to get on their knees and kiss the members feet while exclalming, I am worm sweatl . This became a rather embarrassing situation. The second day seemed a little more easier, but more expensive. The former members bought the new members lunch while they received pieces of candy from the recently elected thespians. On the last day the new members of the group treated the former members to various desserts. The 1983-84 Thespians lnclude: Theresa Brunetti, Sandy Boone, Jeanne Barnett, Emerson Nord- mark, Stacey Darger and Sherrie Olshove. 104 M X Y' 1 ,bf an ' fs, Clockwlse startlng left: Thesplan Nancy Tapken and new member Stacey Darger get into the 'groove of thlngs while worklng on the Christmas play Joy . . .

At halftime they were eleven points ahead, but when the second half rolled around, they couldn 't keep up with the teachers. The student B team consisted of Andy Baker, Wade Dornbusch, Matt Bower, Pat Donahoe, Tom Grocott, Pat Ronan, Tom Slattery, and Jeff Spriggs. This team has been together for approx- imately three years, so they know what each other can do. They are part of a Y team league and in their junior year, they won the A championship and this year, they were 15-0 and won the AA cham- pionship. The student A team members included, Brad Erickson, Gary Ronning, Mike Masur, Chris Mur- ray, Greg Rayman, Mike Costello, Phil Kneip, Clay Boyum, Mark Kunkel and Mike Bassing. Steve Krier and Rick Lynch led the teachers with their explosive teamwork, helping the teachers on to victory. Over all, the crowd turnout was excellent, and the yearbook staff sponsored this event, raising Sl8Q which will be put towards a new camera. The halftime show featured some of the O'C-Forman Pages dressed Hawaiian. 106 TFSQ .. 7 V X we T if w S 1 Q if is W as 0 -Biff Kids get a taste of K ollege Kiddie Kollege took place during the week of April 11-15. The family living class sponsors their event every year with kids ranging in age from 3 to 5. The kids enjoy getting a taste of what school will be like while the students get an idea of what raising kids and becoming a parent will entail. On the average, about 25 kids showed up. This puts a lot of stress on the students, especially the committee members, Anne Wick, Sandy En- berg, and Jeff Elyea. When the kids become bored it's up to them to come up with an idea to solve the problem. Every day they had a game, song, story, snack and an art project that they took home. When talking with the kids most of them thought it was fun. Some kids are real dominating while others find it hard to participate. This proves to be true in almost any classroom situation. Some of the things the students learned will be helpful when they have kids of their own. For some involved in Kiddie Kol- lege, this experience made them determined not to have kids. Anne Wick commented: lt's a learning experience and l'm determined if and when l get married I won 't ha ve more than 5 kids. But overall, I enjoyed it. -cali-1 Clockwise starting left: The children were given time to rest, after a hard day's work . ..

They practiced their kicks, twists and moves three times a week this past summer. On July 14-16 the girls attended a Page camp to help the team improve their knowledge of routines. The team received many tips and new ideas from the camp, which helped them develop their eight routines. For the Pages' first appearance at the Dakota Bowl on September 23, 1982, they performed their routine Jump in front of 7,000 applauding people. The Pages purchased new vests, skirts and shoes from the money they made from hours of work selling candy after school. They also sold sweatshirts at the beginning of the year. The drill team has performed at five football and basketball games and at many of the pep fests. The Pages, with the help of Diane Brimmer, made up routines to such popular songs as Jump by Loverboy, Eye of the Tiger by Survivor and Back in Black by ACXDC.

A 109 Hard work pays off Can you recall what you were doing on June 20th at 8:00 am: most likely you were sleeping or enjoying the beautiful summer weather, right? Well . .. at that particular time, 22 girls, the new group of cheerleaders for the '82-'83 season, gathered at the 0'G gym for the first of many meetings that summer. Working from 8:00 until 10:00 am, three mornings a week, with everyone contributing to the chor- eographing, they worked on the cheers for this year. Countless hours on projects such as: a suntan oil sale, car- washes, bake sales, sponsoring dances and selling mums for the homecoming dance, all helped raise money for the purchasing of two new sets of uniforms - one for the Varsity Squad, and one for the Junior Varsity Squad. The new uniforms came just in time for the First Annual South Dakota State Cheerleading Compe- tition at Augustana on April 4th, Jane Barnett, Cathy Sercl, Bridget Van Hove, Jenny Greis and Mary lgnowski placed first in the group competition. The girls brought home three trophies - one for cheering competition, one for demonstrated skit, and one for total points. One outstanding cheerleader, Mary Hayes, placed second in the individual competition and gained the title Miss South Dakota National Cheerleader. Mary is going to Disneyland in June, and has also been invited to the Hula Bowl in Hawaii. 110 ku. if ff 'wk Clockwlse starting dlrect left: JV Basketball Cheerleaders, first row: Cathy Sercl, second row: Jenny Grels, Rita Kane, Mary lgnowskl, thlrd row: Jane Barnett . ..

This year these awards have been dropped because Kim Miller, Matt Norris, Kim Rysavy and Julie Pederson each had a 4.0 grade average. Mr. Lorang said at the National Honor Society assembly, We usually have only two people who can keep a perfect grade point average throught the year. This year it would be too difficult to pick two people. Jim Sorrell, Tom Grocott, Lori Gengler, Colleen O'Connor, and Jeanette Lovett round out the top ten seniors. These people received drama awards: best supporting actor - Chuck Burkard, best supporting actress - Karol O'Connor, best actor-lead role - Kevin McCluskey, best actress - lead role - Mary Ellen Doyle, best-all-around actor - Matt Norris, best-all-around actress - Rita Kane, and technician of the year - Mark Kunkel.

Mary Ignowskl and Ann Marie Naughton won at second flight doubles and Jill Reiter capped the third flight singles crown in the SIC. The O'Gorman girls tennis team has not lost a dual match since 1972, and, with this years wins, 0'Gorman's record remained intact. The netters ended their dual season with a perfect record of 8 compete in the state tournament, where they battled with Lincoln High School for the first place title. After a long, hard fight between Lincoln 's Breitag sisters and O'G's Jenny Luke and Susan Walsh, Lincoln emerged victorious. Aside from the varsity team, the junior varsity squad also completed an equally successful year with a record of 2 wins and 0 losses. This year's team had thirteen girls.

A disappointing 3-16 season began with a win over the Flan- dreau Indians 136-341. Kerri Lam- berty made a total of 12 points with Lori Kappenman staying close behind scoring 11 points. Next the girls lost a battle against Brandon Valley 134-452, even though Lori Kappenman contributed 14 points. In their second win over Flandreau 147-332, Nancy Geller- man tossed in 16 points. The girls held the Indians back, letting only two girls on the opposing team shoot. The team's third win was over Vermillion 121-201. In another close individual stats game, O'Gorman lost to Mitchell 143-481 with Lori Kappenman cap- turing 18 points. At the game with Washington, the players were sweating, the fans were sweating, and even the floor was sweating. Unusual humidity problems in the gym caused the Hoor to become slippery, forcing officials to postpone the game. Consistency was the key word of the junior varsity this year. The three-six record did not reflect the determination and spirit of the girls. They started out with a win over Dell Rapids St. Marys' varsity team, a hard-fought victory. The girls dealt another difficult, yet victorious win over Lincoln, forty-five to thirty-five. This years' junior varsity team showed great potential too and promise for improvement as next years' varsity team.

O'Gorman's defense played a large part in the low scoring game. The Knights halted the Warriors on three charges deep into O'G territory. Twice in the third quarter Washing- ton came very close to scoring but our defense stopped them short. The only score of the game came in the second quarter on ,a six yard run from O'Gorman securing a win and advancing them into the semi- finals. At halftime the Watertown Arrows had a 12 point lead and O'Gorman had a bleak outlook. But in the locker room head coach, Bob Burns gave the team a pep talk which became the force they needed when O'G stormed back. 126 The first touchdown of the second half came from a 70 yard scoring drive in 13 plays with a 7 yard run by Jones as the last play. Late in the third quarter the big play on interception came when Lorang acquired the ball. This in turn set up the first of two touchdowns ln the quarter for O'Gorman. On the fourth and 4 call Jones passed for 13 yards and then Weisensee ran the final yard. With 2.22 left on the clock the Knights scored their last touchdown and clinched the right to play for the second state Class 11-AAA title. The scene was the Dakota Dome. The date was November 13, 1982. The dome overflowed with 8100 people, anxiously awaiting the game. A semi-quiet buzz hovers over the fans. The crowd suddenly goes wild as both teams enter onto the field. Excitement fills the air as the clock slowly dwindles down, 31, 30, 29, . . .

The game may have started O'Gorman well on the way to another State title but as the game progressed, numerous disasters plagued the Knights. The problems started when Pat Weisensee became injured early in the game and continued when the O'G drive for a touchdown halted, six Inches short from scoring. The deep urge for revenge kept Yankton on its toes. The fact that Bob Burns, at a home pep fest, suggested that this game could be his last, may have stifled the Knights' enthusiasm. But after the game Burns said that he'd be back out on the field. Oh well, as the old saying goes, Winning isn 't everything, it's how you play the game. And boy how we played.

The game attracted a crowd of Z684. The game also gained the title of being one of the most important high school football games in the Midwest. A halftime show added to the excitement. The first half ended with a 6 to 0 Washington lead. In the third quarter the fighting Knights clam- mered down the field to the one yard line. Then Tim Lorang skipped in for a touchdown. The fourth quarter ended with a 6 to 6 tie and the game went into overtime. The grueling battle between the rivals continued and on their second play, the Warriors scored a touchdown coupled with the extra point. On , r u 1 r gg' . . ., JN . sp.. 5, I 1 x 1 , 'Q' f 1 -. Q, Q s L pw O'Gorman's first play, quarterback Scott Jones passed to Jeff Spriggs for a touchdown. Behind 13-12, the Knights went for a two point conversion with victory in mind - but failed. The Knights claimed their first victory the following week as they rolled over Lincoln 30 to 13. This victory had long been awaited because O'Gorman had not won over Lincoln since 1978. The first quarter opened with a score for Lincoln but O'Gorman came back with a 34 yard run and 2 point conversion play. Lincoln scored again in the second quarter to end the first half with a 13 to 8 lead. In the second half O'Gorman held on to their commanding lead by scoring 22 points and flew past Lincoln.

The first quarter gave O'Gor- man a 16 to 0 lead with Tim Lorang charging in for both touchdowns from the 2 yard line and 1 yard line. Scott Jones made the other 4 points in conversions. O'Gorman plowed through LeMars defense for 6 more points in the second quarter. ln the fourth quarter, similiar to the first, O'G scored 13 points. Finally, the Knights shut out LeMars 35-0 for a non-conference win and a terrific homecoming. Next on the 0'Gorman hit list, Sioux City North crumbled as the Knights downed the Iowa team 8 to 0 in a hard fought battle. The score came in the fourth quarter with only eight minutes left on the clock. Scott Jones connected a 28 yard pass with Pat Weisensee, and Jeff Spriggs caught his next pass for 2 points. Fumbles and interceptions plagued North to help capture the falling Stars. ln the fourth game of the season, the Knights pounced on the Wolverines and pulled out a 37-13 victory. In the first half O'Gorman scored 23 points. A highlight for Pat Weisensee came when he broke through West's defense for a 70 yard run into the endzone. O'G scored 14 more points in the second half Tim Jurgens, a sophomore, kicked in the extra points. The third Sioux City team fell when the Knights dumped the Raiders. Tom Slattery tackled the East quarterback in the first quarter, for a safety. ln the third quarter, Scott Jones plunged in from the 10 yard line for a touchdown. Late in the fourth quarter, on a Raider pass, Jim Hayes intercepted and ran back 7 yards to shut out the Raiders 16 to 0. 129 I Varsity continuedj Warriors help O 'G win SIC Our big motor is gone, but we'll still carry on. We're coming in on a wing and a prayer, Coach Burns commented. This concerned the absence of Pat Weisensee which proved to be true when the O'G squad maimed the Crusaders 17-7. Lorang and Johnston scored touch- downs and Tim Jurgens kicked a 22 yard field goal. On defense, Kevin Treanor made a big play by sacking the quarterback on the Knights' 20. Tom Slattery recovered two Heelan fumbles and Joe Fleming intercept- ed a pass. With this win over, the Knights tied up the race for the SIC title. lt made it 1 loss apiece for Heelan and O'Gorman. The following week, Washington's win over Heelan clinched the title for the Knights. The Orioles didn't tweet a cheerful tune but rather the funeral march as the Knights shot down Lennox 8-0. But the people will remember the weather the most from the Hrst annual Meat Bowl . Despite the climatic conditions, 0'Gorman's offense plunged in Eve yards for the only score of the game. To close the regular football season, O'G slaughtered the Lynx. Brandon Valley took the lead in the first quarter but that didn't last long. Fleming and Lorang scored 2 touchdowns apiece and Spriggs and Johnston made a conversion each with our other conversions failing. 130 Underclassmen improve skills Under the leadership of soph- omore head coach, Jerome Garry, and assistant coach, Steve Krier, the sophomores gained some valu- able experience for future years. They improved their athletic ability greatly, but need to work together more as a team, said Mr. Garry. But as for next year he feels that the varsity team will combine a bunch of gutsy little seniors who will be leaders, with a group of big hard-nosed juniors in search of a goal, making a very respectable team. The win over Sioux City West highlighted the hard fought 1-6 season. A less tangible reward involved seeing the sophomores improve through the year. Almost 50 anxious freshmen went out for football this year and all of them got to see action on the field. The frosh opened their season at Harrisburg and shut them out 32 and 0. The 10 to 8 come back win over the Mitchell Kernals, also highlighted the season. There are some leaders, some fine athletes, and some excellent attitudes among this class of football players, comment- ed assistant coach Gordon, The future looks promisingllf' Mill ' , fri? 1 1 iff' Ju Sophomore Football Washington Lincoln Sioux City North Sioux City West Sioux City East Mitchell Freshman Football OGHS Harrisburg Brookings Lennox Brandon Lu verne Mitchell Can ton OPP OGHS OPP 12 26 8 22 3 8 34 1 4 8 22 12 Sioux Cl ty Heelan 41 14 41 32 ' 0 6 20 0 1 4 6 20 8 1 4 1 0 8 1 4 1 6 Clockwise starting left: SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL TEAM Front Row: Rich Wilka, Mike Lalley, Ken Mork, Mike Wetrich, Rob Morgan, Jeff Meert, Dan O'Connell, Regan Smith, Mike Pyper, Shawn Kunkel.

Coach Steve Krier took his team on the road for their first two games. Even though they lost both games, the team gained experience. The team came home to play Lincoln in the Arena and lost 65-50. After losing to Lincoln, the team regrouped and beat West 63-56, then lost to North 70-42. Dan Heelay scored the most points in both games. The Knights received their second SIC victory by defeating Heelan 73-65. The team effort of Healy with 25 points, and Jones and Walsh with 14 points, pulled the Knights to victory. Healy's slam dunk in the fourth quarter highlight- ed the game. Next, the Knights traveled to East and lost a heart- breaker in overtime. They came back the next week and beat West again. Their next win would come at the expense of Brandon Valley. The Knights beat Brandon 49-48 in a double-overtime game. After losing to North, the Knights won their fourth SIC game by beating Heelan 63-62 in a very physical game. Sophomore, Dave Bruhn, started in place of Healy, who was sick, and scored 13 points and had ten rebounds. Fleming had 14 points and Walsh, 12, to help defeat the Crusaders. The Knights lost their last two SIC games to Washington and East but bounced back to beat Vermillion 53-50. At the end of the regular season, Joe Fleming had been chosen for the All-SIC team which consists of the best basketball players from the SIC Conference. Coming into the Sectional Tourney, the Knights prepared themselves to play Lincoln for the third time. In the first half of the exciting game, the Knights held their own against Lincoln, but midway through the third quarter Lincoln pulled away 30-18. But the limit 'Uni' Knights rallied back to be within 3 points after Fleming connected on four straight freethrows with 2:42 left in the game. The Knights would get no closer and when the final buzzer sounded, they found them- selves down by 4. The Knights played Brandon for third place. 0'G led most of the way and then with 2:41 left in the game Brandon broke a 41 point tie. Brandon won 44-43. As for the next year, Mr. Krier says, Building a program takes improvement each year. We are looking for our young people to be much improved next year.

Varsity ask for The O'Gorman Varsity Volley- ball team, ended their up and down season with a 17-5 record. The team experienced a few problems along the way. The lack of crowd support became the biggest problem that the team encountered. lf the football team can have support, why can't the volleyball team? Varsity starter Jeanne Barnett said, I think it's really sad that more people don't come to our games, because we have one of the best athletic records at 0'Gorman. Monique Terlau led the team in spiking, with an awesome 108 ace spikes. Julie Johnson and Kelly Klauer followed closely with 54 spikes each. Serving, junior Kelly Klauer led the team with 158 total points, 33 ace serves, and a deadly 8495 serve. Over all, the team had 121 ace serves, and 802' of their serves fan support were successful.

The Lady Knights won. At Regionals the Knights beat Canton and Freeman Academy to move them into the Hnals. ln the 1st game, the Knights lost to Lincoln 15-7. ln the 2nd game, with a score of 14-9, Lincoln had possession of the ball. They served the ball, we returned it, then they killed us with a spike to win the game. But wait! The referee called a violation on Lincoln, giving O'G possession, and another chance to win.

Where does the motiva- tion for such constant achievement lie? Can one find it in the coaching, the teamwork, the individual players or maybe a little luck? Try all of the above. Whatever skill it takes to keep on winning, the O'G netters have it. They completed the year with an impressive 8 and 1 dual record. They placed second in the Sioux Interstate Conference Competition and came out with many individual crowns. Top players Jim Sorrell and Tom Grocott both grasped second place in their flights. Nick Henderson and Steve Marso reached the third place spots in their flights.

A highlight of the season came at the reglonals where 0'Gorman qualified a record number to go on to state, 13 all together. Those who qualified included: Scott Jones with the triple jump: Tom Slattery with the shot-put and discus: Jeff Meinen with the 100 meter dash 4 x 200 relay, and medley relay: Steve McGraw with the 4 x 200 relay and 4 x 400 relay: Jeff Sprlggs with the 4 x 200 relay and medley relay: Mike Bassing with the 4 x 800 relay, 4 x 400 relay, and medley relay: Tom Kogel with the 4 x 800 relay: Mike McCulloch with the 4 x 800 relay and medley relay: Mike Wetrlch with the 800 meter dash: Steve DeVaney with the 3200 meter run: and Mike Fleming with the 4 x 400 relay. Overall, 0'Gorman placed 3rd at the reglonals wth 44 points compared to Lincoln's 11446, Brandon's 79, and Washington's 4244. O'G's medley relay team surprised the crowd by overcoming the odds to win with a time of 3:35.97. Tom Slattery's discus throwing also highlighted the year. He set a new school record and also a regional record with his throw of 173'5 . Besides setting a record, he had a near perfect season of 9 wins and 1 loss at the discus while doing almost as well with the shot-put. At the state meet, held in Sioux Falls, the boys team took 10th place. On the first day of the two day event, 0'Gorman held fifth place because of the flne efforts of Tom Slattery. He took first place in 148 go to state meet the shotput with a throw of 52'5!6 . On the second day, Slattery also took first in the discus with a throw of 168'6 , making him a double winner.

The stacks of work seem never ending. Thank goodness for variety. What would anyone do without this added spice! Students at O'Gorman cannot complain about a lack of diversion. It is not uncommon to see a guerrilla strolling leisurely down the hall with a paw full of balloons to deliver to a birthday student. Nor is it a rarity for a teacher to find a room rearranged fHa, Ha, Mr. Bill Perhaps the most bizarre epi- sode occured on April 15, 1983 when Mrs. Cindy Ahrendt, the government teacher and debate coach, received her birthday sur- prise - a pig named Heidi. Heidi came to school complete with pen, food and water. It should be understood that not everything at 0'Gorman ends up in a joke. Students form a large part of their lives here and they piece together the directions in which they want to go. Amusement and seriousness both help the students to grow. 152 NJA ,575 if ,quiv- .
