Fifarek, Voss Rise Above Crowd. Hard work has paid off for these four individuals in their own ways. Whether it was discovering the vast uses of com- puters, listening and learning to all that music can offer, spending countless hours training and working with horses, or the grueling workout s that are re- quired for successful running, each one of these people has accomplished a lot. Donovan Williams first interest in computers came about in eighth grade. “| first used a computer in the UWO library in order to find books. The com- puter served as a card catalog.” ex- plained Donovan. Donovan has done a lot to improve his ability in using computers. He bought an Apple lle for home use and has taken numerous computer classes in school including computer math, intro- duction to computers, computer con- cepts, computer systems, and Computer Programing | at UWO. Through co-op, Donovan got a job at Medalist Indus- tries. ‘I’m changing their programs fo fit their new system, and writing new ones that are suggested by their em- ployees.” Donovan planned to have computers in some aspect of his life in the future. Donovan was the Editor-in-Chief of N- DEX. He has been on the staff for three years. His job was to see that the paper gets done, assist the other editors, and train personnel. “Music is a big part of my life,” ex- plained Beth Jungwirth. Beth has been playing her clarinet for seven years and has studied privately for five years. She has played in numerous Solo and En- semble Festivals and received high scores for her playing. She also received a scholarship for a PMSA music clinic at UWO. This past year she was involved in the honors band, a special band spon- sored by the college for talented musi- cians. Beth sang in madrigals and A Capella choir. Someday she planned to go into music therapy or teaching in college. “I've learned to listen to music and to appreciate it.” For the past nine years, Laurie Fifarek has been taking riding lessons. She be- gan taking lessons at Morningside Sta- bles, and is now at a stable in Seymour, Wisconsin. “While | was taking lessons at Morningside, | joined a 4-H club. Soon | began to show the horse and liked it so much that I’ve continued to do it.”’ The Winnebago County Fair was the first place Laurie started showing Mor- gans. From there she has worked her way through qualifying shows, and has made it to the national shows more than once. She has won top ten ribbons for her showmanship in Hunt Seat and Saddle Seat. Laurie has been involved in operetta and other school activities, although she devotes most her time to riding. “I ride for fun; it’s both my hobby and my sport.” Shannon Voss started running in fifth grade, just because he liked it. For the last seven years he has kept at it and made it very close to the top. As a freshman he went to the state Cross Country meet as an alternate and as a senior made it all the way there. He was also actively involved in track. His specialities were the one and two miles races. Shannon was very pleased with the great improvement he has made over the years. Shannon planned to go into drafting and designing in college. 'l hope to keep running throughout col- lege.” Ann Kalbus Anna Kasper Julie Kasper Cindy Kerr Susan Klein Jean Kloehn Julie Klotzbuecher David Koch Keith Koch Kevin Koch Douglas Koechell Kim Koechell 149
