NE 68636 Elgin, NE 68636 PIRATES in Training More Than Three R’s As we all quickly learned, school is more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. It’s learning everyday skills we will need as adults and professional skills which can lead to careers. It’s learning to work together and to work alone. To prepare for one big performance or for a lifetime. To appreciate the funny, the artistic, and the unusual; and to become good citizens and future community leaders. School is all these things and a lot of hard work. But, when you look back on it now, school was fun. Self-motivation and responsibility start early in Shop and Home Ec classes.

Tom Ruther volunteered to help demonstrate how nice boa constrictors really are. The band performed for the Veterans’ Day Program and the Christmas Assembly. Assemblies Provided New Experiences The assemblies were more than a break from classwork. They covered topics from Art to Science. Some were presented as part of the National School Assemblies and some were put on by and for ourselves and our fam- ilies. Musical programs included a baritone soloist from the New York stage, the Northeast Tech. Choral group and our Christmas assembly. We were introduced to myths and animals from around the world through sand paintings and natural science. Of course, we were entertained: by a gym- nastics and juggling demonstration, by a magician, and by two table tennis pros. Petersburg Telephone Co. Andre’s Store Serving Its People Petersburg.

Although the 7th and 8th graders are not full-fledged members of the high school, they participate at pep rallies, assemblies and in the general student life of the high school. The two years spent in junior high provide an opportunity to the students to leave behind the games and activities of childhood. They prepare to take their places as athletes, schol- ars and leaders in the high school and eventually as adults in the community. Vinnie pauses at his work.

The hallmark of this year's Freshman class has been its cheerfulness and high spirits. As expected, upon the attain- ment of high school status, the course load became heavier and the subject matter, not only more difficult, but also more relevant to future careers. Many Freshmen already have begun to set their sights and select their goals for life.

The season’s record does not show the fact that the Pirates played some outstanding basketball during the season. High scorers this year were: Ed Viek, 135 points, Larry Seier, 112 points, Randy Ketteler, 79 points, and Larry Temme, 126 points.

The high point of the season was beating rival Humphrey in the semi-finals of the Conference Tournament. Winning second place in the Conference Tournament was a worthy goal for all the hard work at practices. The team finished the season with an 8-7 record. This is the first winning record in the 4 years of girls’ basketball at P.H.S. The team should be proud of its accomplishments.

Track Season Brings The Pirates' athletic year ended with Track and Field sports this Spring. All of the team members competed on relay teams in the running events. Individual long distance runners were Ed Veik, Clyde Stuhr and John O’Cilka. Pirates who competed in the 400 meter sprints included Karla VonBonn, Brenda Pelster, Rick Pelster, Ken Leifeld and Vickie Johnson. Clyde Stuhr and Duane Scholl ran hurdles, while Julie Simons and Bonnie Spieker ran the 100 meter dash. Shot put and discus throwers included Dave Sandman, Bev Scholl, Mary Henn and Lori Iburg. Mike Spieker, Bonnie Spieker, Karla VonBonn, Vickie Johnson and Ken Leifeld competed in the long jump. Each of the three main track meets was the scene of record breaking efforts this year. At the Conference Meet on April 29, Julie Simons broke her own record twice in the 100 meter dash — in the preliminaries and again in the finals. The final record time that Julie set was 12.8 sec- onds. A false start at the District Meet brought her high 36 I Boys' Track Team: L Io R (standing) Coach T. Reese, K. Leifeld. C. Stuhr, M. Spieker.

Ed Veik also ended his track career in a blaze of glory by representing Petersburg at the State Track Meet on May 22 and 23. and completing the 800 meter run in 2 minutes 1.5 seconds — a new school record. The other record performances were turned in by Mike Spieker at the District Track Meet on May 14 and Clyde Stuhr at the Conference Meet. Mike broke the school record for the long jump, set by his older brother Doug in 1979, with a leap of 17 feet 10’4 inches. In a spirit of good sportsmanship, Clyde ran the 300 meter intermediate hur- dles, normally not his event, thereby establishing a new event for the Pirate record books. In addition to Julie and Ed, this year's departing Pirate seniors are Bonnie Spieker and Karla VonBonn. All of them can be proud of their contributions to the Pirates dur- ing their running careers. 37 Junior High Has Limited Season Inter-mural sports for the junior high was limited this year because of the size of the seventh and eighth grade classes. Although Petersbuig was not able to field any teams for team sports, all of the junior high students partic- ipated inTrackand represented the school in the Junior High Tournament at Bartlett on April 23.

Each cho- ral group was active in both the Conference Clinic and the Christmas Assembly and Concert. The vocal music depart- ment was reorganized during second semester, and Peters- burg High School was represented at the District Music Contest on April 24 by Girls’ Glee Club, Triple Trio, Girls’ Octet, Duet, and three vocal solos.

Student Council Is Reactivated After a lapse of one year, the Student Council was re-activated this year under the sponsorship of Miss Shirley Nissen, School Principal. Last Fall, each class held elections to select two Representatives for each grade. The Representatives elected were: Freshmen Teresa Jennings and Mike Spieker; Sophomores Lucy Knust and Diane Luettel; Juniors Bev Scholl and John Seier; and Seniors Ed Veik and Theresa Wilton. These Repre- sentatives subsequently held elections and chose John Seier, Mike Spieker and Diane Luettel as President, Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer, respectively, for the organization. The major project for the year was a St. Patrick’s Day Dance in March. Student support for the dance was excellent.

We all were responsible for the ad and book sales campaigns, for layouts, photo selection and cropping, copy, captions, typing, and for ideas. This year we have tried to add more copy and cap- tions to help jog those memories. Fund raising was accom- plished through ad and book sales, with Bev Woeppel and Delmer Pelster proving themselves to be salesmen without Public Speakers Compete Pictured at right are this year's speech contest partici- pants.

Thank you for touching our lives, perhaps only for a brief moment, but making sure your presence is still being felt. Thank you for remembering us, for letting us share your joys and for letting us share ours with you, throughout the years. Thank you for being here, perhaps not in person, but in our memories — for helping us grow by knowing you, by trusting you and being close to you. Friend — Thank you for lasting, in a world where nothing else does. by Linda Chop” Sorensen Brenda Pelster, Club Secretary, read the poem at left during the 1981 Awards Banquet ceremony.

REMINISCING The week concluded with a bubble-blowing contest won by Freshman Jackie Daly. Reminiscing about the past, I can’t believe the days have gone so fast. It seems like just yesterday. We were Freshmen starting on our way. I guess we’ve shared some times that were bad. But then think of all the fun we’ve had. Remember the struggles we all had to face. In order to be able to fit in some place. Never forget those practices we had, Which we all thought were so terribly bad. The ones when the coach just watched with a smile. And told us the hard work would be worthwhile. Remember the goals we worked to achieve. To get where we wanted we had to believe. W'e weren’t always able to get along. And sometimes things just seemed to turn out all wrong. There were those games we just couldn’t win, But then we took one step at a time and started over again. W'e all had to work as a team. And each develop our own self-esteem. Tonight let’s be proud and hold our heads high. Let’s go out and really try. Let’s make this Homecoming better than in the past. Because Seniors, this Homecoming is our last. by Shirley Spieker Bank of Elgin Full Service Bank Elgin. NE 68636 Homecoming Court: Standing L to R: Anita Benda, Angie Benda.
