( 8048 In a remote corner of Plattsmouth High School the Journalism II staff racked its collective brain to come up with a theme to fit this particular school year. The students did seem to have just a touch more spirit and enthusiasm. There seemed to be a touch more discipline in the rules and regulations. And, most importantly, a touch more laughter anc closeness could be seen between friends anr classmates. With all that in mind, Just a Touch was chose as Plattsmouth High School yearbook theme.

The Plattonian is just a touch of a student's year. Through the following pages can be seen only the surface of 1987. Students share laughter, suspense, tears, fears, aches and pains. The four years spent in high school are the toughest years of life and also the best and most enjoyable. Here is where some say values are formed and a person slowly breaks away from parents and starts taking on adult re- sponsibilities. So look through the following pages and see Just a Touch” of one of the best and most influen- tial years of life. Freshman Terry THson. football manager, communicates with the press box at a Friday night game. Introduction 5 As the heat of the summer fades and the cold- ness of winter moves in, the students get back in the swing of things with school and activities. There's homework to do, streets to cruise, and parties and movies to go to. Crocodile Dundee” and Jumpin Jack Flash” were some of the hit movies talked about this year. Boston's first album in 10 years, Third Stage,” was a big sell-out among students also. The freshmen were picked on and the seniors were up to the same old pranks as all the students engaged in their own activities after the bell.

Another thought I was very excited when I was named Sweetheart of 1986. Besides the prize of $50 in cash. I also re- ceived a $200 savings bond. My mother really deserves my thanks because she called all my brothers and sisters and raised mon- ey for me. Riding in the neat car in a pretty dress for the parades was really nice. I was given a crown to wear. It was also neat that all the con- testants received a gift and the run- ner-ups received $50 in cash and a $100 savings bond. The contest went on for several weeks and I was very nervous but I did have fun and it is an experience I will never forget. I really did feel like a princess. — Senior Peggy Elworth Sophomores Jill Casey, Marie Humphrey, Tammy Leger and Julie Kastrick clown around at the pep rally.

Usually held at the end of Sep- tember, this county festival invites people of all ages to participate in the many competitions. This year, 52 seniors were recog- nized as dukes and duchesses. These people, dressed in suits and formals were invited to walk along in the coronation parade which was Thursday evening. Friday afternoon, the football players were the center of atten- tion. During the school parade, the cheerleaders rode down Main Street on their way to the afternoon pep rally. Football players followed in another car. No pep rally is com- plete without the Blue Devil march- ing band and this group provided music for the rally. Performing for the first time was the drill team. Newly organized with new uniforms, the girls danced to the song Love BGmb. Thirteen girls competed for the ti- tle of Sweetheart of 1986 this year. This contest is based on votes that each girl receives. Senior Peg- gy Elworth was honored with the ti- tle and rode in both parades on Fri- day and Saturday night. She was accompanied by the three runner- ups, Kim Freeburg, Sandi Baker and Debra Cunningham. Various groups around school joined in the carnival activities. Fu- ture Flomemakers of America set up a face-painting booth as a fund- raising activity. Another group in- volved was the PHS Bake Shoppe wh'ch sold monster cookies. Sweetheart candidates wait for the an- nouncement of the winner Korn Karnival 9 Afternoon of Fun - Another Thought For the junior class entry in the lip- sync contest, we did You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi. It was pretty wild. The atmosphere in the crowded gym was one of ex- citement! Our group consisted of Theresa Brueckner. Trish Hildebrand, Roxi Bradway, Daryle Abel and me, Caroline Olson. We came out dressed in tiger stripes, leather boots, “punked-out hair and shades. I sang lead vocal as Jon, Roxi played the guitar, Trish played bass, Theresa was on keyboard and, five minutes before our perfor- mance, Daryle volunteered to play drums. Considering we just got our stuff together that morning, we were pretty radical. And since then, the song You Give Love a Bad Name is sure to be remembered. — Junior Caroline Olson Missy Brumbaugh loses her balance as juniors build their way to a second-place J finish. The event was won by the seniors. -------------------------.---— v The Junior class struggles to win the tug-of- ( war contest in Devilmania games. The faculty v'----- won. Seniors Claim Victory At Devilmania Meet It was a close race but the Class of 1987 managed to pull it off. In the annual Devilmania games, the seniors placed first overall for the second straight year. In fact, the entire afternoon was dominated by the juniors and seniors. The juniors led in scoring through seven events, but then the seniors made their move. With only four events left, the seniors shifted into high gear and defeated the juniors by four points. The final team standings were as follows: first with 46 points, seniors; second with 42 points, juniors; third with 32 points, faculty; fourth with 22 points, freshmen and fifth with 17 points, sophomores. The festivities began with a pep rally at 12:50 p.m. as the Devilettes performed to Can You Feel the Beat. Then it was time for the foot- ball players to “play cheerleader. Devilmania was held the remainder of the day. No new events were added this year and the Monster Walk and softball games were called off due to rain. The only new thing about this year's games was that the banana- split relay was held at Dairy Queen. Juniors placed first in poster deco- rations, lip-sync and the tricycle race. Seniors placed first in the three-legged race, obstacle course, banana-split relay, egg toss and pyramid building. The faculty placed first in the tug- of-war, jump rope and volleyball. Neither the freshmen nor fhe sopho- mores placed first in any event. Several students were asked how they felt about Devilmania and Sophomore Sharon Rues replied, It would have been better if it wasn't raining. Junior Richard Ratzburg thought is was pretty fun, especial- ly the lip-sync. People got into it more. As the finale for Devilmania, stu- dents were treated to hot dogs, chips and pop in the main hallway as they awaited the announcement of the results. Seniors Mike Keema, Chris Winscot. Craig Martin and Wade Hughes finished second in lip-sync. Bonfire Sparks ' Another Thought Being crowned Homecoming Queen was a very sentimental mo- ment for me. It's hard to explain the excitement I felt when I heard my name called. It was the icing on the cake, so to speak, of my senior year at PHS. It made me feel flustered, teary-eyed and nervous, and at the same time warm, special and hon- ored. Brad Brown, Homecoming King, was a pretty smooth dancer to the homecoming theme “Glory of Love. He most likely inherited his moves from his daddy, Jimmy Brown. I know I'll never forget my senior year Homecoming dance. It will be a cherished memory that, years from now. I'll be able to tell my chil- dren about. — Bekkijo Barkus Records played by a disc jockey pro- vided music for Sophomore Jon Heigl and Freshman Shelly Zweibahmer. Seniors Brad Brown and Bekkijo Barkus were honored as Homecoming royalty. C Even though the class finished last in Devil- mania games. Freshmen Jamie Hudson, Jo- seph Macedo and Travis Fincher enjoyed the dance. 12 Homecoming Wednesday, October 1, a bonfire drew a large crowd that included Seniors Angela Pritchard and Robie Church. Brad, Bekkijo Reign As Homecoming Royalty Neither rain, loss, nor cold of night could dampen the spirits of the PHS student body as the students trad- ed in their rainboots after the game for a more comfortable pair of dancing shoes and spent the rest of the evening, Hunting for Glory at the 1986 Homecoming. It was definitely one of the bet- ter dances I've attended, com- mented Senior Craig Martin. Every- one was enjoying themselves and I found our class winning Devilmania set the mood for the whole even- ing. After the seniors defeated the ju- niors that afternoon, the visiting Ant- lers of Elkhorn spoiled the evening for the gridders by defeating the Blue Devils, 21-8 in what some called a mudfest. The party moved to a drier area for the dance. The dance was again held in the cafeteria with the cheerleaders in charge of the decorations. Steve Warga and the Music Spectrum was there to play requests and later in- troduced the candidates and the Homecoming Royalty. This year the candidates were chosen by the cheerleaders, the drill team and the fall sports partici- pants. The boys nominated five girls and the girls nominated five boys from the senior class. The king and queen were then chosen by all students by balloting. Each student voted for one girl and one boy. The candidates were Brian Bres- nahan. Brad Brown, Robie Church, Jerry Dasher, Spencer Pohlmeier, Dena Ostrander, Tami McGowan, Missy McCormick, Bekkijo Barkus and Trisha Horn. While it continued raining out- doors, reigning inside were King Brad Brown and Queen Bekkijo Barkus. The couple was crowned by last year's royalty, Richard Church and Kathy Beebe. New to the agenda this year was a bonfire. Football Coach Cal Jacobs spoke to the crowcj Homecoming 13 Working for Weekends Senior Janelle Pecha rests up after a long weekend. Juniors Kylee Schaffer and Deana Conn perfect the art of cruising. Another Thought Cruisin', that's what this town thrives on. Everyone at some time or another ends up taking a cruise! Cruisin' people usually stop some- where to hear the latest about Plattsmouth and the people that live here. Cruisin' is a two-way street, you can either participate in coppin' a Main, and then down Chi- cago, or you can observe all cars driving by. It's a time-killer, but can ‘be fun. There used to be a group of peo- ple who sat at Quik-Pic in the sum- mer and played hack (hackey- sack). People had the impression that these were drug-addicts but that's not true. It was just a place to meet people and buy a pop. Cruisin' will always be around. High school kids will never forget about copping a cruise. Sophomore Dawn Davis Cheerleaders take time out of their week- end to support the Blue Devils. Shown are Michelle Norris, Kelly Ogle.

Students Cram Fun Into The Weekend Plan As the clock strikes 12, a dreadful thought occurs to many PHSer's as a little voice inside says, It's time to be home! Despite efforts to sneak into the house, there is still a big voice (more commonly known as dad) just wait- ing to inform the student: “You are late! Do you realize the pain and suffering that you have caused your mother and I?! Many students refer to this as “The Guilt Trip. Students' activities include 'just a touch' of everything. Some of the more popular ways to spend week- ends are shopping, eating out, movies, parties and, of course, cruis- ing. Junior David Klanecky stated: “Most of the time I go out and cruise with my friends. If I don't, I stay home and rent a movie. For some students, sitting on the Quik Pik dumpster (while eating Dori- tos) seems to be quite entertaining. Other popular gathering places in- clude Main Street, Ruback's parking lot and Ofe's gas station. Weekend plans usually become the main topic of conversation in the hallways and classrooms begin- ning on Wednesdays. Frequently asked questions are “Where are the parties? , or “What is going on? Junior Stacy Schreiber added; “I usually go cruising and socialize. For those students who have dates, their plans usually include them. Senior Chris Winscot com- mented; “I usually go out with Leslie and we have fun together. We'll see a movie, play putt-putt or go to a party. The song “Workin' for the Week- end by Loverboy seems to cap- ture the attitudes of most PHSer's. Senior Amy Wehrbeln daydream of taking a cruise. Weekends 15 Main Street System Main Street is no place to be on foot. Pictured are Juniors Dan Cahalane. David Klanecky and Chad Hart. Dependability is more important than looks to Senior Tracy Andrews who drives a Mus- tang Cobra. Another Thought In a recent interview with a per- son who enjoys driving at high rates of speed — Scott Nath — he ex- plained how to peel out properly: “First of all, I look around for any Law Enforcement after I stop at a stop sign. Then I apply my left foot to the brake while I put my right foot on the accelerator and put it to the floor. I let out the brake slowly until the tires begin to spin and then I let them rip. Scott also discussed dealing with a clutch: “Push in the clutch with the left foot and the accelerator with the right foot all the way to the floor. Slowly let out the clutch until the tires begin to spin. Then push the clutch back in and shift into second gear and pop the clutch. Your tires will spin again. — Junior Jamie Clark An alternate torm of transportation is rea- died by Senior Butch Jagodzinski before the Devilmania tricycle race One ot the nicest things about cars is not having to leave them. Drive-in windows pro- vide money and food. What else is needed? 16 Cruising Cars Play A Big Part In Life Of Student Many people fail to realize the im- portance of an automobile in a stu- dent's life. But the car probably has a bigger effect than anything else. Around this town, cruising is a fa- vorite pastime. Older people may wonder why students spend time driving up and down the streets with no destination or plan. However, to students, the answer is simple. One reason to cruise is to see friends. Also it gives a person a chance to show off his freshly- waxed car. If a parent was kind enough to loan the teenager a car, then it is imperative that everyone in town witnesses this event. If none of these reasons seems good enough, just consider that cruising is also fun for no reason at all. But if one purpose of cruising is to communicate with friends, how is this done? There are several simple methods. People honk, wave or yell at each other. If the decision is made to meet one another, the places to do this would be Ruback's parking lot. Godfather's parking lot, Casey's, the high school, or Pizza Hut. One might ask how much the average student spends on his car. According to Junior Scott Nath, I spend about $20 a week for gas and transmission fluid. Thus, the importance of a car is obvious. People need one to go to movies, dances, shopping and par- ties. Sporting events also require that students have transportation. What would a date be if one of the participants did not have access to a car? Finally, Main Street would look pretty empty if it were not for students cruising. A clock Isn’t needed to know when it is 3:30. Just look at the parking lot and listen for the roar of engines. Cruising 17 Spare time stuff Another thought Senior Robie Church spends his summers on the baseball field pitching for the Blue Devils. The local pool gives Sophomore Tanya Morse chances to work on swimming and div- ing skills while getting a tan. Junior Krista Phillips read nine sci- ence fiction fantasy books over Christmas vacation. She feels that reading is a great hobby which also stimulates the mind, broadens vo- cabulary and general knowledge. Krista is a member of a small group which trades books. Other members are Juniors Deanne Durkin, Lara Scholten, Kathy Ehle and Sec- retary Pat Porter. They trade various types of books such as science fic- tion and historical romance. Krista explained that she was bored over vacation so she started reading but even after school be- gan she had already read four books. She added, Books are door- ways to knowledge so read books and open those doors. —Junior Lynn Fibich Rocky, a 1 1 2yearold pooch, belongs to Junior Tony Abercrombie. Music and dancing are common hobbies tor teenagers. Sophomore Steve Fornoff enjoys dancing. 18 Pets. Hobbies Pets, Pastimes Vary Among PHS Students From rock collecting to riding horses, PHS students have discov- ered many pastimes outside of school. Although school and com- munity sports are a favorite hobby of many PHSer's, there is a wide vari- ety of other physical and non-phys- ical activities. Many times, pets are a part of these hobbies. For instance, training and showing dogs, horses, cattle, hogs and sheep are all part of 4-H activities. Collecting is also a popular hobby because there are so many things to collect such as rocks, comic books, coins, marbles, antiques or stamps. Some of the more physical hobbies include all kinds of sports such as baseball, jogging, swim- ming, wrestling, tennis, aerobics, weightlifting and even golf. There is also hillclimbing, and bike riding. Sophomore Jason Chicoine has some interesting pastimes including two hamsters. “Their names are Sli- kum and Alberta. They eat, sleep and smell too, but I like them be- cause they are my pets. He also has an unusual hobby. “My hobby is collecting little travel soaps. I have about 40 of them from just about all over the United States. The reason I collect them is because I think it is a neat hobby and it is also original. It seems that the majority of stu- dents choose dogs as pets. A few of these are Sophomores Tina Beck- with, Anine Knaup and Melissa Lamb. Breeds vary from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. Some of the more uncommon pets that are chosen in- clude finches, guinea pigs and goats. Sophomore Ken Schmidt also has an unusual hobby, drag racing. He would like to get good enough to be on a team. Senior Peggy Elworth enjoys a fringe benefit of caring for her horse. Precious. Pets. Hobbies 19 What's in, what's not Another thought Junior Michelle Hughes dresses comfort- ablv for the hotter months of school. ) Junior Jeanne Carmichael relaxes in a loose flannel shirt and moccasins while Junior Michele Norris wears jeans and a sweater. The romantic period is back. The look of lace and soft colors accent- ed with rhinestones and turquoise helps create the new prairie or chambray look. To create the entire look, a skirt with a dropped waist that is mid-calf length is needed. Add a lacey or rhinestone-accented blouse, leath- er boots, jewelry and the perfect face. The perfect face means softer makeup using pastels. Stirrups and bright shirts are still here but plain jeans and t-shirts are fading. “I like your swatch. Swatch watches bring a new meaning to tick-tock and a new look to watch faces. Swatches are covered with bright colors and inter- esting patterns that coordinate with an outfit. —Junior Barbie Kintzle Senior Tracy Henner displays her earrings by pulling back her hair with a banana clip. She has six in her right ear and seven in her left. Junior Toby Shanks matches a floral skirt with a shaker sweater Junior Michele Norris is 20 Fads, Fashion wearing cropped jeans and a jean jacket. Fashions Imitate Last Year's Trends Every high school student wants to be fashionable. Many people confuse fashion with fad. Fashion as defined in the dictionary is the mode of dress, manners, living, etc., pre- vailing in society, especially in high society; also good form or style. On the other hand fad is defined as a temporary style. Fashion for a high school student would consume far too much time. After all, students have more impor- tant things to worry about. So for most, keeping up with the fads, (the things that are in ) is difficult enough. This year's fads are, for the most part the same as last year's- over- sized shirts and sweaters, padded shoulder blouses, paisley prints, stir- rup pants, 501 button-fly blue jeans, mini skirts and cropped pants. Accessories such as belts, purses and shoes are also very in . Shoes and boots of all sorts are very popu- lar this year. Wearing layered socks fits right in the foot scene. Slip-on flats come in almost every color a person could imagine. The boots are sometimes confused with wres- tling or basketball shoes, except for their colors make it clear they're not. Small amounts of lace are used to accent the total look of an outfit as well as broaches and earrings. Watches are also very popular. It seems as though almost everyone has a watch that matches the color of the outfit. Colors that are in range from shocking pink and brilliant blue to the softest pastels. So until a person has a lot more time and energy to be fashionable, look around and find the fads. Sophomores Rochelle Markham, Nikki Boardman and Sonja Brooks dress in shaker sweaters and big shirts Also shown is Senior Fads, Fashion 21 Jim Brooks Blue Devil Endangered Another Thought Although the whole thing was based on a ridiculous notion, I feel it ultimately had a positive effect on the school. It brought a sense of uni- ty in the student body and stirred up dead emotions in the community. We all pulled together for some- thing we believed in. It was great to see all those people come togeth- er. I just wish we had this support for all our school activities. We did, however, appreciate the great community support given to us in this matter. —Senior Craig Martin The Blue Devil controversy caused lots of excitement and even merited the presence of television cameras and reporters at the board meeting. _____________________ x.________—’— ------- Many students made posters in support of y the mascot. Shown is Junior Tony Abercrom- y bie reading one of the many signs. ( 22 Blue Devil The parking lot was tilled with cars display- ing signs supporting the devil mascot. One boy even spray painted a logo on his car. Senior Brian Bresnahan made a wooden sign for his truck to show his support Fate of Mascot Decided At Board Meeting Plattsmouth High School on TV? And in the newspapers too? Yes, that's right, PHS was big-time news for a few weeks in March be- cause of the Blue Devil mascot. It all started when School Board Member Dave Nielson began a Kick the Devil Out of Our School campaign in representation of the people who are against the em- blem. He even went as far as to personally pledge $1,000 to the ef- fort. From there the concern over the mascot seemed to snowball. Many “Letters to the Editor were printed in the Plattsmouth Journal in favor of both sides. People from other towns even got in on the action. Everyone began to wonder how the school got the Blue Devil mascot in the first place. Joe York, one of the three originators of the logo, gave the answer. According to Mr. York, in 1939 Jim Yelick drew a blue devil on their new basketball knee pads. Not much later, 98% of the students voted for the devil to be their emblem. At a regular school board meet- ing on March 9,1987, the fate of the Blue Devil was decided. Television cameras as well as newspaper re- porters showed up for the event. There were approximately 800 people who came to watch and 26 who voiced their opinions to the board, among them past and pre- sent PHS students. After everyone spoke and a mo- tion to have a committee study the issue for 30 days was voted down, the board finally came to a deci- sion. The vote was 7-1 in favor of keep- ing the Blue Devil as the Plattsmouth mascot. Many students look on as Student Council President Brian Bresnahan and Senior Class President Craig Martin speak Blue Devil 23 Senior Janelle Pecha and Junior Kelly Ogle enjoy the mild weather. Another Thought My 1986-87 school year had its ups and downs. I was starting my senior year and was excited about being a senior. I was going to cheer on our varsity football team. As the year went on I was looking forward to cheering on the wrestlers and go- ing to state with them. As everyone knows we did terrific at state. Terry Dasher received fifth and Spencer third and, of course, Jerry Dasher was our State Champi- on. Now that the weather is getting nicer, everyone's wearing the Ha- waiian prints and enjoying the sun. Girls are talking about their prom dresses and tans. All the seniors are getting anxious about graduation. — Senior Sonja Green Senior Jim Brooks takes a break from work- ing on the computers newly purchased by the school. Gubernatorial candidate Kay Orr speaks to a packed house at the Omaha Civic Audi- torium. 24 Current Events Plattonians Relate To World Happenings Over the past year the nation and PHS students were rocked by the events happening around the world. This year movie goers flocked into the theaters to see one of the most highly-acclaimed Vietnam war films ever: Platoon , which brought home the Oscar Award for Best Film of the Year. Other box-office smashes were Crocodile Dundee and the mega-hit Top Gun starring teen idol Tom Cruise. The radio waves were dominated by a Jackson again. No, not Michael but younger sister Janet. Higher Love and Steve Winwood won the Grammy Award for Best Song, while the controversial album Grace- land by Paul Simon took the honors for Best Album. In sports the New Yorkers couldn't be any happier as the N.Y. Mets blew past the Boston Red Sox to win the baseball World Series and the N.Y. Giants won the Super Bowl over the Denver Broncos. Another NCAA basketball'cham- pion was crowned when the Indiana Hoosiers beat the Providence Fryers and, before we knew it, the heavily hyped Super Fight was here and the underdog, Sugar Ray Leonard, had dethroned the champion Mar- vin Hagler. In Nebraska we elected a new governor. Gov. Kay Orr took office in 1987 when she won over candi- date Helen Boosalis. This was the first election in history for the Guberna- torial race to have two female can- didates. While the election was going on the weather outside was more than pleasurable as temperatures rose to as high as 60 in January. When the temperature was warm the school was red hot as the Plattsmouth Blue Devils made the news. Members of Mr. Wiles’ government classes took time to attend the Republican rally where President Reagan spoke Current Events 25 Dressing up. Up, Going Out Crownbearers make their way through the audience. Prom music was provided by a disc jockey Pictured are Senior Matt McDonald and his date and Junior Scott Nath and Senior Tracy Henner Another Thought I thought that prom this year went really well. The juniors did a great I job with working to move the prom to Crown Court in Bellevue and also with the decorations. Officers David Klanecky and Troy Ferdig worked especially hard and I think all the seniors appreciated it. I was really honored to be voted queen this year and it was nice to reign with Brad Brown. — Senior Dena Ostrander Dena And Brad Reign As Queen And King When the announcement was made at the May 9 prom dance, there was a new king and queen and their names were Dena Os- trander and Brad Brown. These two were selected by stu- dent ballot from the list of candi- dates. Seniors on the ballot included Jerry Dasher, Brian Bresnahan, Brad Brown, Chris Winscot and Robie Church. Queen candidates were Dena, Tami McGowan, Dawn Henry, Amy Wehrbein and Bekkijo Barkus. Junior attendants were Chad Hart, David Klanecky, Troy Ferdig, Jamie Clark and Scott Nath. Junior female attendants were Roxi Bradway, Marcya Levering, April Beasley, Kirsten Kolhof and Kelly Ogle. Dena and Brad reigned over the crowd at the Quality Inn ballroom in Bellevue, This marked the first time that prom was held outside of the high school. But before the night ar- rived there was much work done. Class officers began early in the year exploring the idea of moving prom. Class sponsors Jeff Wiles and Ralph Tarnasky encouraged the class members to gather evidence as to whether the idea was feasible. Telephone surveys were con- ducted and also junior and senior class members were given a ballot questionnaire to complete. Also, class officers, David Klanecky, Troy Ferdig, April Beasley and Roxi Brad- way, checked into the cost of area restaurants and clubs. The surveys showed that a clear majority favored a move and the research showed that the cost would not be prohibitive. On February 9, students present- ed their findings to the school board and gained approval to move the prom. Queen Dena Ostrander and King Brad Brown after the coronation Roxi Bradway and Da- vid Klanecky were honored as junior atten- dants Prom Royalty 27 'Endless Dream' Begins at 6:30 p.m. As the dancing went on, the ballroom became warmer. Senior Spencer Pohlmeier took off his jack- et to be more comfortable The ballroom at Quality Inn was decorated with balloons and streamers. Shown are Senior Michelle Wilson and her date. Another Thought The 1987 prom will be long remem- bered. First of all, the student input about getting prom out of school was a major factor. Then some backup in- formation was needed to show that people were for the change. After we found the the majority of students were for the change we also had to do a parent survey. The result was a majority. Then came the tough part — pro- posing it in front of the school board. The board voted 4-2 in favor of having the prom at Quality Inn in Bellevue. The junior class is to be congratulat- ed for all the work and also our spon- sors, Mr. Tarnasky and Mr. Wiles. — Class President David Klanecky Senior Steve Umholtz and Sophomore Moni- ca Duckworth at the Quality Inn ballroom. “Complete Music” played records for the prom crowd. Shown are Seniors Wade Hughes and Steve Felthousen 28 Prom Site Change Adds Pizzazz To Prom As students arrived at Quality Inn in Bellevue for the 1987 prom, they made their way through the lobby to the ballroom. Multico- lored streamers hung over the dance floor and clusters of bal- loons decorated the seating area. Posters dedicated to the senior class covered the walls. A buffet meal was first on the agenda after a welcome by Class Officer April Beasley. Kris Fornoff gave the benediction and David Klanecky was to act as the host during the evening. The meal consisted of roast beef, spaghetti, potatoes, car- rots, chicken and salad. Refresh- ments were also served during the meal and through the even- ing. Dancing followed with music provided by Complete Music. Students could also take a break by going out to the pool area where tables and chairs were available. Many pictures were taken of couples and friends with the gazebo as backdrop. Sophomores acted as prom servers. This group included Kevin Hamele, Carl Reichart, Marty We- tenkamp, Neil Nelson, Jason Chi- coine, Troy Wehrbein, Matt Mey- er, Shayne Bateman and Mike Butterfield. Also included in the prom server group were Tammy Gonyea, Ma- rie Humphrey, Lisa Brendle, Tina Barkus, Jill Casey, Julie Kastrick, Cathi Furniss, Terri Evaristo and Mi- chelle Settje. This group performed to the song “In My Dreams by DOKKEN and did a skit satirizing the seniors. The members were dressed in tights and shirts with booties, hats and magic wands. Prom servers entertained the crowd with dances and skits. Prom 29 Big Money, Late Night Miniature golf was one of the games of- fered at After Prom. Shown is Sophomore Ju- lie Kastrick. ) J (f Sophomores Shayne Bateman, Niel Nielsen watch as Matt Meyer takes aim at a stuffed animal. Another Thought I thought After Prom was very suc- cessful. I was happy to see a variety of games available to play espe- cially the miniature golf course — that's my specialty. When I got here I searched for a game that was an easy way to earn a bunch of money quickly and that had no limit on the betting. The game that satisfied these re- quirements was the dice-in-a-cage table. I won about $3000 and was given about $14,000 more. During the night there were draw- ings for door prizes and I won a t- shirt and suntan lotion. — Senior Steve Umholtz Gym Holds After-Prom I liked the after prom better than prom. I was impressed with what the group did with the gym.” This comment by Junior Joe Thompson reflects the majority of student opinion on the after-prom festivities. Although most also en- joyed the prom dance, there were many enthusiastic comments about the all-night activities. More stu- dents attended than last year and they were not disappointed. Parents, businesses and the school started after prom to en- courage an alcohol-free weekend. Committees began collecting funds and ideas after the first of the year. The decision was made to change the location to the high school gym instead of the community center where the party was held last year. A Las Vegas-style event was Larger Crowd again the central theme. Roulette, black jack and a craps table were featured along with miniature golf and carnival-style amusements. As students arrived, each was giv- en so much money to enable the student to begin gambling. Any money won could then be used to bid on items auctioned off at the conclusion of the evening. Drawings were also held through- out the night and prizes ranging from a microwave oven to clothing were won by students. The theme for the event was Ha- waiian Dreams and students wore clothes to fit the decorations. It all began at midnight and ended at 5 a.m. with a breakfast. Music was provided by Steve Warga and a live band. Excel. Worker Tom Kappas is pictured with seniors. Tammy Stidham. Vynessa Bateman.

Another Thought To me graduation means finally reaching the goal that has been the center of our entire lives. It will be the end of a very fun but hectic year. I feel very honored to be a co- valedictorian of what, in my mind, is probably one of the best classes to come out of PHS. My speech centers around my class's accomplishments as indivi- duals and as a group. — Graduate Debra Cunningham Graduates Janelle Pecha and Tammi Mor- jris wait to line up in the upstairs hallway Graduation 33 114th Class Finishes In May 13 Ceremony Graduation was scheduled for May 17 at 3 p.m. in the high school gym. But the seniors began the ritual with their checkouts the week be- fore. Lockers were cleaned, bills were paid and last-minute assign- ments were handed in. For the first time a senior breakfast was planned for Friday, May 15. With the Food Service classes pre- paring the meal and the student council decorating the cafeteria, the breakfast honored seniors and provided them with one more chance to be together as a class. After the breakfast, the tradition- al rehearsal was held and then the seniors went out the door until Sun- day afternoon. The playing of the National An- them opened the graduation ceremonies followed by “Pomp and Circumstance, played by the high school band. The invocation was given by Reverend Ron Bertsch. Superintendent Jack Herweg asked the capacity crowd to rec- ognize first the honor graduates and then the members of the National Honor Society. Honor Graduates included Debra Cunningham, Tammy Stidham, Brian Bresnahan, Tina Porter, Laura Ran- ney, Mary Hula, Anne Southerland, Vynessa Bateman, Dennis Horn, Wil- liam McGraw and Jodi Draper. Also introduced as honor gradu- ates were Missy McCormick, Cindi Smith, Dawn Henry, Butch Jagod- zinski, Heidi Birdsley, Michelle Pohl- meier, Amy Wehrbein, Stefanie Long, Steve Umholtz, Merri Wood- ward, Brian Hudson and Trisha Horn. National Honor Society members not already named included Marv Little, Tami McGowan and Janelle Pecha. Tm Out of Here!

Another Thought Today we'll start a new life And we'll say our last goodbyes To all the friends we've grown to love With whom we've laughed and cried Remembering the fun and laughter, Throughout our high school years. The memories of the dances And the new friends we met. Vacations, teachers, talking And exams we'd rather forget. Yes, high school days are precious. It is not the end, but the beginning Of a life we'll start anew. — Author Unknown Graduates Earn Over $250,000 Co-Valedictorians Debra Cun- ningham and Tamara Stidham, along with Student Council Presi- dent Brian Bresnahan and Senior Class President Craig Martin, pro- vided viewpoints as speakers on the graduation theme: Today we pre- pare for our dreams of tomorrow. Brian Bresnahan pointed out that the greatest gift that a man can be blessed with ... is his sense of hu- mor. It takes that ingredient to sus- tain the ordinary man whenever he faces disappointments. Craig Martin thanked the people who made graduation possible: Parents, administrators, teachers, coaches and counselors helped us in one way or another______ Debra Cunningham noted two assets she saw in this class: talent and the willingness to work for our dreams. The fact that the class will always be bound was pointed out by Tammy Stidham. We will have something in common: the bond we developed over the past four years. Over $250,000 was awarded in scholarships this year. The largest of these were the Air Force and Navy ROTC scholarships given to William McGraw and Brian Bresnahan. Musical entertainment was pro- vided by the chorus and soloist Merri Woodward and Chad Lamb. A flute solor was performed by Senior Heidi Birdsley and a Fresh Aire medley by Senior Amy Wehrbein. The seniors were escorted by ju- nior stewards who included: Roxi Bradway, Jon Reimer, Michelle Hughes. Dawn Stoehr, Troy Ferdig. David Klanecky, Dan Cahalane, An- gie McGraw, Kelly Ogle and Tony Abercrombie. Janelle Pecha, Tammi Morris and Dawn Henry wait upstairs and warch everyone else get ready Graduation 35 Just A Touch Of Ganiu My mom washed it ... My brother ate it ... My sister stuffed her bra with it ... It's in the mail ... What homework?! The pressure of tests, homework and deadlines are all just a touch of PHS students' school life. Every school has a Frank Flunky who cuts classes, throws spit wads at nerds and avoids homework like the plague. Then there's Bernie the Brain who begs his teachers for homework for fear of having nothing to do and sits home on Saturday nights writing politi- cal theories. All in all, different types of people make up PHS and give it a uniqueness all its own. Many unusual things are made by students in Food Service as shown by Juniors Tami Timm and Lisa Cubrich. Sophomores Shelley Toman and Michaela Wilson seem very enthusiastic as they listen to Mr. Freeburg in Biology. Academics Division 37 With eligibility re- quirements put into ef- fect, a small number of students became ineli- gible to compete or perform in school ac- tivities. A little-known fact is that during the month of December, the halls and classrooms of PHS were totally silent for 85 minutes as students and teachers alike spent time reading. Imagine going to school and just studying. Activities make academics bearable; and academics are the main reason we go to school. To keep a healthy balance of both, a few programs have been put into action this year. The first is the Sustained Silent Reading Program. Time was set aside each week when students were re- quired to read a book or magazine for leisure. The program, initiated by Principal Doug Kyles, is a system used successfully at other schools. New Programs Stress Reading And Mastery Learning As Requirements Are Stiffened Mr. Kyles read of its success in edu- cational articles and started the pro- gram at PHS. Overall response to this idea by students was good, although there were time difficulties as point- ed out by Junior Chad Hart. “It's good but you need more time to get involved with what you're reading. Twenty-five minutes doesn't cut it. Also, eligibility requirements were set for those involved with activities. Members must be regular in atten- dance and be earning credit for at least 20 hours per week. This applied to all students in athletics, cheer- leading, band and other organiza- tions. A new idea, mastery learning, was also practiced on a trial basis this year. Students were given a pretest and later tested on weak areas found in the pretest. Sophomore Jamie Har- bert commented on how he thought the system works. It's okay except you may know the answers without knowing why they're the answers they are. Part of the mastery learning program was giv- ing chapter pretests. Pictured taking theirs are Freshmen J.J. Morris and Craig Wiles. In order to stay involved with athletics, many students had to concentrate more on study- 38 New Academics ing. Shown above is Junior Tom Hyde. Many people see the value of computers in studying.

New Academics 39 Turn it on, shut it off, lift it, pull it, rewind it — machines are taking over the classroom. Computers are ev- erywhere and the type- writers never stop clicking. Don't forget the beloved Xerox ma- chine that produces all those worksheets! VCR's entertain and instruct, while wood lathes turn and saws buzz. Machines In Class Help Students To Learn More And Teachers To Teach Maybe we don't realize it, but ma- chines are a big part of today's, and an even bigger part of tomorrow's classrooms. For in almost every class- room there is a machine that plays a big part in the teacher's daily lessons. An example of a machine's impor- tance in the classroom is the use by teachers of the videocassette re- corder. Although affected by copy- right laws on taping programs and instructional films, if a person stays within the copyright law then teach- 40 Machines ers may tape programs and use them. Librarian Pat Montgomery stated on the changes brought about in the classroom, saying, .It's brought materials into the classroom at a much more affordable price than 16-millimeter film. It just de- pends on how it's being used wheth- er the benefits are valuable to the students. Mr. Doug Kyle's new computer in his office has improved the way the school operates.

In Mr. Cecil McKnight's wood shop students learn to use radial arm saws, table saws, joiners, sanding ma- chines and the wood lathe. After they graduate, students may use their skills to become a carpenter's helper or just to give them a hobby. In Mr. Lyle Stewart's Advanced Metals Class, students work with metal lathes. Shown are Seniors Kelly Boren and Alan Russell. Whether your life's work is a baker or a computer technician, many questions should be answered before you're fin- ished. Profession? Education required? Salary? Benefits? Job Security? Location? Family Life? Students Study, Prepare For Careers Through Different Courses When a person starts think- ing about a career, he would probably choose a college that would best prepare him for that career. To help students along the way, they can take a variety of high school classes whether their interests lie in math, English, sciences or business. Advanced math students find a lot to keep busy with. 42 Career Education Trigonometry is taught along with Calculus, which can be taken through Peru State Col- lege and earn college credits. Field trips are also an impor- tant part of career education at PHS. These trips give stu- dents a firsthand view of their academic interests in action as jobs.

Many special events such as the Brain Bowl, guest speakers and field trips make the school year more enjoyable and more profitable for students. Students participated in many dif- ferent activities that helped them to learn more and sometimes these events gave them a break from class- room routine. These activities included convoca- tions, a Brain Bowl and many field trips. For the first time, PHS sent a team to a brain bowl competition. The team of Tammy Stidham, Brain Hud- son and Thomas Hyde competed at the KMA Brain Bowl held in Shenan- doah, Iowa. They were beaten by the Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln Field Trips, Speakers, Competitions Provide Breaks Promote Learning team. In March, PHS hosted the first EMC Brain Bowl. Conference schools could enter two teams. PHS contestants included Tammy Stid- ham, Brian Hudson, Thomas Hyde, Vynessa Bateman, Chris Stidham, Debbie Cunningham, Jodi Draper and Michelle Pohlmeier. The competition was won by Blair and PHS teams finished fifth. At a convocation, students heard Dr. Bob Butler, a communications professor from UNO, speak on teen suicide. Dr. Butler stressed in his speech that death is final, suicide is preventable and that there are many myths on teen suicide. For the physical education classes, no snow was bad news. The annual ski trip, after two postponements was finally held on February 25 at the Crescent, Iowa ski area. Students not in a class were allowed to go on the trip if they had a permission slip. Cost for students was $12.50 which included a lift ticket and ski equip- ment. Junior Caroline Olson and Sophomore Jon Heigl ride the ski lift at Crescent.

Food Service I and II cooked up a little something, while the art classes sketched out a few master- pieces and the voca- tional wing beamed during a gymnastics display and shined up a few wood, metal and automotive products of their own. On March 27, PHS students had an Open House. For art, metals and Food Service students, it was a night to offer their services and talents. Art students exhibited all types of work. Included were clay sculptures, weavings and pencil drawing. There were working displays of weaving, airbrushing, pottery, macrame and pencil drawing. Some of the people working these Technical Shop, Art, Food Service show-off Talents at Open House. displays were pottery, Mark Algya; pencil drawing, Travis Hoschar; Ma- crame, Joe Thompson; airbrushing, Jeff Alberts; and weaving, Tracy Rookstool. Projects chosen from the Open House went to the EMC Art Show in Lincoln. The Open House also provided an opportunity for elementary art stu- dents to exhibit their talents. Metals Club participated in their first Open House as an organization. The members demonstrated a com- puter milling machine, did lathes, demonstrated a foundry, showed things they made and had a raffle for a clock radio. Senior Kelly Boren summed up the evening: It was a real success and I'd like to thank everyone that came. It was probably the most suc- cessful Open House we've ever had. Food Service students demon- strated making cookies and bread- sticks. Once made, these items were sold. Junior Toby Shanks expressed her feelings on the evening: I had to bake cookies for four hours on a Friday night. I wasn't thrilled about it, but there were a lot of people there and we had fun.

Honor's Night 49 1 It's the first day of school and you're a freshman. You are looking around dazedly at the big high school when BAM! — you run smack into a 6'2, 215 lb. SENIOR! OH NO! The first day of school can be nerve racking espe- cially for freshmen. But as the year progresses, many students find they become friends with students of all ages. Freshmen find that after they've been here awhile, people stop noticing them by the title of Freshmen and actually learn their names. As the year goes by (usually quite fast), they even appre- ciate that they are freshmen. At least most of them don't have to worry about speeding tickets and getting their senior pictures in on time.

No M matter where the location may be, students will find a place to leave their mark. Something that they can look back on in years to come. However, not all grafitti stays. The water tower was repainted with a new paint that makes it easier for grafitti to come off. Desks and walls get washed and even things that are carved in dirt get worn away. People scribble the names of their boyfriend or girl- friend; they draw pictures or part of one so the next one along can finish it. Phone numbers, critical remarks and other doodling are also a part of day-to-day grafitti. Although grafitti is considered a type of vandalism, most of it is written on places or areas where no one is affected by it.

The class of '89 consists of 137 students as opposed to 116 freshmen, 110 juniors and 117 mak- ing up the senior class. Being the biggest class can have its advantages and disadvantages. One sophomore, Cynthia Ni- chols, stated We are a part of a lot of changes that have to be made for us. Teachers teach extra classes and courses are examined. I also think our class has the most school spirit. Another advantage that being the biggest class might have, is the variety of friends you can have and the many people you can meet. A disadvantage could be toward new students in that they may have a difficult time getting to know people and getting into the swing of things I'm glad sophomores are the largest class, be- cause I have the privilige to be in it. There is a lot of friendship with many people and that's what makes our class so special. commented Jason Chicoine.

Another sophomore, Neil Nielsen quoted, Driv- ing is fun, once you get over all the nervousness and get through driver's education. 66 Sophomores Korie Korpinski Julie Kostrick Thereso Kellisoo Stephanie King Anme Knoup Lorry Kress Ron Kunce Melisso Lomb Shori Larsen Tommy Leget Tammy Ungle Joe Lockhorr Undo March Rochelle Markhom Thomos Morrin Mono McAlferet Jeff Meadows Noncy Meier Mart Meyer David Moore Sheri Moreheod Tonyo Morse Mike Mossey Kore Murphy Sophomores Chris Noth John Newell Cynrhio Nichols Neil Nielsen KJey Persons Ryon Pecho Mark Pelzer Jon Pesrei Pomelo Perers Mefcsso Pierce Suzonne Pierce Shonnon Pohlmeier Cun Pritchard Deonne Prohosko Corl Reichorr Trocy Rooksrool Shoron Rues John Russel Ken Sobby Lon Sovolo Ken Schmidt Michele Senje Dennis Simms Drod Singer Jomce Smith Chuck Stephens Christine Srol Dob Srrouf Terry Tlson Jim Thompson Shely Tomon Ann Trunce Joni Tucker Daniel Worsen Troy Wehrbein Seon West Morty Werenkomp Michoeta Wfcon Poulo Winters Robin VonAckern Uso VonRiper Dob Yeoger Not Pictured Doug Anderson Steve Drasheor Joe Comer on Demis Corbin Charles Wright Sophomores 67 Freshmen Computers avoiloble or PHS ore used by many students inducting fresh- men Jeff Sautter and Kerry Carpenter Freshmen Are Computerized! 3 omething new for the freshmen that is available at PHS is computers. There are w only two computer classes which are, computer use and computer science. Though freshmen are not able to enroll in these classes they do spend time before and after school working on projects or learning how to use the computers. Most teachers also have access to these computers to help with their classes or to simplify their grading systems. These students who are enrolled in a computer use class gave their opinions on the course: Tami McGowan, senior, I think it is a good class be- cause it gives you the basics about computers that we need to know. Missy McCormick, senior, replied I like this computer class because so many jobs are related with computers and it gives me a chance to learn about them.

To Be A Freshman Itf t can be scary coming into a new and bigger school. I The school counselors help the freshmen by giving M them a tour through the high school during the spring before they start here. At first the freshmen might be a little confused about classes and activities, but once they feel a part of the school they really get involved in school activities. The freshmen are the most spirited at pep rallies and most active in freshmen athletic teams. They join clubs and sports to get involved and to get into the flow of high school life. Here's how these students feel about being a freshmen: Jody Molck, “It's not fun because you can't tell anyone what to do. Kim Malmos, “It's not the best because we are the youn- gest in the school.

The hard work paid off for the cross country team who remained undefeated again this year and placed sixth at the state meet. The wrestlers kept the tradition of having a winning season by far with several wrestlers going to state. No matter how the sports teams did or what their record was, everyone put in a lot of hard work and dedication to make this year a success. '■SWBS y - Sports Division 77 Senior Rob Church (12) eye a tackle to protect Senior Teammate Chris Winscot. Dawn Stoehr, junior, shoot for two for a win over Roncalli. Football EMC Honors Winscot Jacobs Cites Two Different Seasons, Says, ‘Elkhorn Was The Turning Point’ With 17 returning lettermen and 12 returning seniors, the Blue Devil football squad looked to be one of the most promising teams in the last four years. And by the middle of the nine- game schedule, the players seemed to be keeping their hopes high with a 3- 1 record. But the team hit a slide, and fell victim to a five-game losing skid. “We had two different seasons,” commented Coach Cal Jacobs, “a 3-1 season and a 0-5 season.” Coach Ja- cobs sighted two games that stuck out in his mind. “The Elkhorn game was the turning point, but the Ne- braska City game was the hardest to lose because we outplayed them, but beat ourselves with turnovers.” This season the Blue Devils pos- sessed a potent offensive backfield which starred Seniors Brad Brown and All-Conference running back, Chris Winscot. The tandem com- bined for over 700 rushing yards on only 170 attempts for the season. The defense hadn’t gone unno- ticed either, as they were rated as a team no less than fifth in the state the entire season by the OMAHA WORLD-HERALD. They kept the ranking by holding opponents to only 179 total yards per game. Brown led all rushers for the Blue Devils on the season with 358 yards on 92 carries. While Senior Mike Keema led the defense with 98 tack- les during the nine game schedule. The captains for this year’s varsity football team were seniors: Rob Church, Matt Glup, Mike Keema, and Spencer Pohlmeier.

Football 79 Volleyball Volleyball Team Improves Janelle Pecha and Stacy Schreiber Named To All-Conference Honorable Mention The young, inexperienced volley- ball team of last year showed a little of what it could do when it ended the season with a record of 7-9. This is a great improvement over the past few years but second-year Coach Connie Gonyea had higher hopes for the team. “I was disap- pointed with the overall perfor- mance of our team considering the talent we had this year. “Our setters quarterbacked the team and did a superior job. And our hitters did well when they were ‘on’ but they were not aggressive enough.” The team was primarily composed of seniors for the better part of the year but the underclassmen proved themselves to be very capable. Leading in spikes for the year were seniors, Janelle Pecha, 85% efficien- cy; Tina Porter, 85% and Jodi Drap- er, 78%. Janelle led the spikers with 22 kills and 37 aces. Of the setters, Stacy Schreiber led in attempts and ended with an effi- ciency of 96%. Roxi Bradway fin- ished 94% and Tami McGowan was 100% but was out for awhile because of injuries. Tina Porter led the serving stats by ending with 97% efficiency and only four missed serves. Stacy Schreiber was the leading scorer with 79 points and 93% efficiency.

Volleyball 81 Girls’ Golf Golfers ‘Rebuild’ Senior Joni Baumgart Completes 4th Year, Earns Most Valuable Player Honor After several years of being win- ners, the PHS girls’ golf team turned in a disappointing no-win season. This year, as Coach Don Freeburg put it, was a “rebuilding year and a learning experience.” It was a hard year and the team only consisted of six people, most of which were in their first year of play- ing. Having such a small team made it impossible for the Lady Devils to compete as a team in the Platts- mouth Invite, as well as the Ashland Invitational. Senior Joni Baumgart was selected at Most Valuable Player. This was her fourth year on the team and her sophomore year she qualified for state. She was the only team member to place at any meet. She placed 11th at the PHS Invitational, 7th at the Blair Invitational and 9th at Dis- tricts. When asked how she felt about the season, Joni replied, “This year was fun; being a senior, people looked up to me and asked for advice.” Although the team failed to win a meet, the members had fun “playing the game” and enjoyed learning from Coach Freeburg. First year player, and senior, Paula Moss said, “This year was a lot of fun and was a learning experience.” She went on to add, “Mr. Freeburg is a great coach.” First-year golfer Paula Moss, senior, has her eye on the hall as she prepares to swing. «- 4 V «i Junior Becky Van Syoc hits a long drive in attempt to better her score. 82 Girls' Golf Senior Joni Baumgart shows the form that helped earn her 9th place at dis- tricts. ,-«T- “Our season started out rough, but we smoothed it out toward the end.

Districts @ Blair 7th Girls' Golf 83 Cross Country Boys, Girls See Success Boys Repeat as EMC Champs; Dedication Leads to Winning Record In what fall sport did the team not only finish with a winning record, but repeated as conference champs, added a district runner-up title and finished fifth in the state? No, it’s not the football team or the volleyball team and it wasn’t the girls’ golf team. It was none other than the members of the most suc- cessful fall sports program this school has had in the last 15 years: the boys’ cross country team. Both the boys’ and the girls’ cross country teams compete in usually a very vast area, such as a golf course or a large park, and generally most of the action takes place where you can’t see it, except for the beginning and the end of the race which on average lasts only 15 to 20 min. But a team consisting of two sen- iors, Patrick Babcock and Mark Pri- bramsky, Junior Bobby McGraw and Freshman Chris Bradway packed all the action they could into their un- defeated dual record and their indi- vidual 14th and 18th, 17th, and 62nd place finishes respectively at State. The Lady Harriers, led by Senior Captain Anne Southerland and Ju- nior Dawn Stoehr, finished with one of their best efforts in years. Exper- ience along with some help from a few newcomers led this unusually large team memberwise for Coach Cecil McKnight to a successful 3-1 dual record for the season. But even with this heavily senior dominated team, including three boys and two girls, returning to lead the harriers of ’87 will be the most valuable runners of the 86’ season: Juniors Bobby McGraw and Dawn Stoehr.

City, Blair Games Highlight Season The 1986-87 basketball season started off with a optimistic view from both the coaches and players. Rebuilding from a 4-14 season last year that graduated six seniors and four starters, this year’s team was built around a fairly inexperienced group for Head Coach Bob Kremke. The season opened with four con- secutive losses before the Christmas break. The Blue Devils from the start were plagued by turnovers, fouling and the lack of oneness as a team on the court. But slowly things started to gel. The team wasn’t win- ning yet but they were getting closer. The team was 0-6 and was hosting the No. 1 team in the state, Blair. Blair, 8-0, came in confident and un- scathed averaging over 70 pts. a game, while giving up under 40 pts. on defense. But after escaping with a 48-38 victory, the Blair team that left was never the same, losing their number-one ranking later that sea- son and upset at home in their first round of dictrict play. The confidence built up from the loss to Blair paid off though as two games later it produced a win at Ne- braska City, 66-57. Things were actually looking up for Coach Kremke’s squad as it en- tered the second half of the season. But in some ways, the Blue Devil team that took the floor each game after Nebraska City was a totally dif- ferent ball club. The faces were usu- ally the same but built around differ- ent stars in different games, a roller- coaster ride of close ones and blowouts, with the consistencies and the inconsistencies ending in a 1-16 record and a 64-25 loss in Districts at Seward. Senior guard Craig Martin reflect- ed after the season that “Although it was a discouraging season, we en- joyed ourselves and never quit. It was definitely a character-building experience.” Senior Dennis Horn shoots over a Waverly defender while his fellow teammates look on. Horn was one of three seniors on the team.

Girls see two different seasons: 7-1, 4-5; Pecha, Draper receive Honorable Mention. After posting a 7-1 record during the first half of the regular season, this year’s Lady Devil basketball team looked to be one of the most promising since the ’84-’85 state tournament qualifiers. But a slide after back-to-back losses to Blair left the girls with a 4-5 record for their last nine games, and a 11-6 season ending in the first round of district play. “In the beginning of the year we played very well together and had a lot of confidence,” commented Sen- ior Forward Jodi Draper. “Then to- wards the end we started to psych ourselves out of the big ones and lost a few close games.” This year’s Lady Devils fought through a tough season led by All- Conference selection and All-State Honorable Mention guard, Junior Dawn Stoehr. Stoehr led this year’s team in scoring and assists, being the only player to average in double fig- ures with 13 pts. a game and racking up 33 assists for the season. Senior Forward Janelle Pecha along with Stoehr were both recog- nized as being among the Metro Area leaders in scoring. The duo combined for nearly half of the team’s average 44 pts., scoring 21 pts. between them. Seniors Jodi Draper, who averaged 7 pts. a game this season, and Janelle Pecha also received post-season rec- ognition for their contributions by making All-Conference Honorable Mention. This year’s team only graduated four seniors (two starters) and should return with a strong group next season. Three junior starters will be the building blocks for next year’s team for Coach Niece Jochims, who will have a talented group of underclassmen to choose from to fill her new starting roster.

FROSH RECORD: 4-4 Girls' Basketball 89 ■Wrestling Jerry Dasher Wins State 3 Seniors, 1 Freshman Qualify for State; Claim 1 Gold 8th-Place Finish for PHS With as many as five 3-year re- turning senior lettermen, the 1987 varsity wrestling team seemed des- tined for success, and like a wise man once said, “You can’t change desti- ny.” The team was once again led by Senior Captains Terry and Jerry Dasher, and Spencer Pohlmeier. These men led the wrestling team to a lst-place finish at the Syracuse Pin Tournament and 2nd-place finishes at the Plattsmouth Invite and East- ern Midlands Conference Tourna- ment. The Blue Devils had equal success in the dual season as they were con- ference runner-up with a 9-1 record, their only defeat coming from champs Nebraska City. The individual scoring was led by Jerry Dasher with 305 total points, leading Coach Ferde Goings’ team to an 8th-place finish at the state meet. He also took the gold medal at 132 lbs. With 267 points was brother Ter- ry, who placed fifth at the state meet, and was second for total team points. In third place was Spencer Pohl- meier with 261 pts., who finished third at state. Freshman Jared Rob- erts also followed the three seniors to State, qualifying at 98 lbs. Graduating seniors are: Butch Ja- godzinski, Craig Savala, Darrin Simpson, Mike Keema, the Dasher twins and Spencer Pohlmeier. Senior Jerry Dasher works for one of his 17 pins and a state title.

The girls qualified six people for the state meet in five events. Mem- bers of this group included Paula Moss, shot and discus; Nancy Meier, 100 hurdles; Roxi Bradway, 400 me- ters; and the two-mile relay team consisting of Stacy Schreiber, Carrie Hogueison, Roxi Bradway and Dawn Stoehr. Although no one placed at state, many team members felt it had been a successful year. “We continuously improved throughout the year,” commented Junior Dawn Stoehr. Ju- nior Roxi Bradway added, “As a team, we scored more points than last year and are looking forward to a better year next year.” This year’s team had 19 letter win- ners and went undefeated in dual and triangular action. To add to the accomplishments of the season, Sophomore Nancy Meier broke a school record in the 300 hurdles with a time of 51.3. Special awards were given at the Athletic Banquet to Captains Anne Southerland, Janelle Pecha and Pau- la Moss. Running MVP for this year was Roxi Bradway. Field events MVP went to Paula Moss.

Golf season again became a re- building year for Coach Tom Schirmer as just one senior returned and injuries suffered throughout the season slowed progress. Although the Blue Devil linksters were unable to win in dual action and finished no better than fifth at an invitational meet, “scores improved a lot during the season,” according to Coach Schirmer. He stated he was fairly pleased with results through the spring. Injuries to key players like Senior Brian Hudson slowed the team. Bri- an was hit by a stray golf ball that injured his hand and kept him out of action for 4 short time. His teammate, Freshman Kerry Carpenter, was injured and unable to play for the rest of the season after an incident playing basketball re- sulted in a broken leg. After Brian returned, the team prepared for the district meet. The team excelled through the back nine with scores of 43, 41, 41, 41 by Rich- ard Ratzburg, Brian Hudson, Dave Peters and Jamie Hudson which were some of the best of the tourna- ment, according to Coach Schirmer. At districts, Dave Peters registered an 83 and missed going to state by one stroke. At the athletic banquet, Jamie Hudson and Richard Ratzburg were named Outstanding Golfers for the year. Teams were established before each round of practice. Shown are Coach Tom Schirmer, Assistant Dave Schneider, Golfers J.R.

Athletic Banquet 99 Just A Touch Of Participation Meetings, contests, fund-raisers, conventions and elections are all just a touch of what is in- volved when a student decides to join an organi- zation at PHS. Many of the organizations open to students were very active this year. They held dances and sold items such as candy, stuffed animals, glasses and jewelry. Some even took trips to places such as Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. No matter whether it was band, cheerleading. Technical Metals, FHA or any of the other PHS clubs, they all helped students get involved and have fun.

Tina Porter was chosen Head Cheerleader by vote of the newly elected cheerleaders after tryouts. Other captains were: Kelly Ogle (football wrestling), Jeanne Carmi- cheal (football basketball), Heather Giles and Rachelle Markham (girls' sports), Tina Beckwith and Pam Hoeft (J.V.), and Jenny Church (freshmen). When asked how she felt about the year of cheerleading, Freshman Tammy Dasher commented, “Well, it was my first year and it went fairly well but at times it was pretty bad. Too many people thought they were in charge and tried to be but wer- en't. Some people even thought they were too good to cheer with us (during wrestling). Sophomore Rachelle Markham also commented on the year: “I really enjoyed cheerleading this year. I was glad that Tina Porter was the head cheerleader, she was a good captain and we had fun.” Some added events at which the cheerleaders were able to perform included the bonfire pep rally and a school board meeting. The board meeting was to discuss the Blue Devil mascot and prior to the meeting many of the cheer- leaders got out on the floor and led the mascot's supporters in numer- ous cheers. This year's squad was made up of four seniors, six juniors, six sopho- mores and five freshmen. In past years there have only been four freshmen but this was changed this year to make it easier for the fresh- men to cheer when more than one event was scheduled for the same night. Cheerleaders await the start of the KKKKK pep rally on Main Street. The freshmen are wearing mixed uniforms because their new ones had not yet arrived. Freshman Tina Cahalane and Sophomore Pam Hoeft are dressed like wrestlers for a pep rally skit during district wrestling week.

Pictured is Peggy Elworth. 104 Drill Team M 'Where, Oh Where, Have the Little Girls Gone' Drill Team Loses a Few s the months of July and August rolled around, the roar of a jambox and the pounding of 20 pairs of dancing feet could be heard through the halls of PHS. This was a sign that the new drill team had begun preparing for perfor- mances at home football and bas- ketball games. By the end of the year, the drill team had a bigger majority of the original 20 girls than in the past. The final performance was done with 16 members as compared to 8 or 10 dancers in past years. Junior Barbie Kintzle commented, “I feel that the squad was 100% bet- ter this year. There was something different. We had our usual disagree- ments but I felt we were a very close group.” Many people wonder why the drill team doesn't end a year will all 20 members. Well, that question has crossed the minds of the team lead- ers also. It seems that a few of the girls have a problem with their grades. Others just can't seem to drag themselves out of bed for those 7:30 a.m. practices. After six ab- sences, these members are asked to hang up their dancing shoes. As a result, the team usually de- creases in number by the end of the year. The 1986-87 drill team is the first group to continue after the sponsor was cut from the school budget. The group decided to continue with vol- unteer sponsors. Mrs. Karen Brad- way served as the adviser to the squad and it worked out fairly well. In fact, some observers commented that the drill team looked much bet- ter in the performances. Junior Roxi Bradway commented, “Captain Tami McGowan did a great job and helped us work to be better. Karen Bradway also helped a lot by hounding the company for our uni- forms and driving us to Lincoln and back during camp.” The first home football game of the season was also the night of the drill team's first performance. Juniors Kylee Schaffer and Kirsten Kohlof participated in the Homecoming Devilmania games.

(Journal photo) 5 Seniors Take Spotlight in Their Final Performance ‘Snoopy’ Takes Stage For 3 Performances here did that little dog go? Well on his way back to Daisy Hill, he dropped by for three outstanding perfor- mances with conductor Ron Nel- son’s group in the comedy musical, Snoopy. The Broadway production was based on the well-known comic book characters of Cartoonist Charles Schultz. The show follows Linus, Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Sally, Char- lie Brown, Woodstock and Snoopy through part of a year in the life of the Peanuts gang. Snoopy attracted nearly 40 stu- dents to mid-October tryouts for the musical. A double-cast was added to the show for the part of Sally shared by Junior Deanne Durkin and Senior Hege Merethe Riesberg, the school’s foreign exchangeAstudent from Norway. Other members of this year’s musical cast included: Freshman J.J. Morris, Woodstock; Junior Laura Shown, Lucy; with Seniors’: Merri Woodward, Peppermint Patty; Steve Wicklund, Linus; Mike McCoy, Char- lie Brown; and Chad Lamb, Snoopy. A new addition to this year’s musi- cal was the use of a synthesizer for background music. Senior Amy Wehrbein, who played the synthesiz- er in this year’s pit band, was also accompanied by Mr. Kenneth Kull on keyboards, Mrs. Mary Nelson on piano and Mr. John Brooks on per- cussion. Also behind the scenes helping Conductor Ron Nelson were Drama Coach Connie Gonyea, Student Di- rectors Sophomores' Cindy Nichols and Paula Winters, with spotlight help coming from Junior Lara Schol- ten and Freshman Craig Wiles. The musical, which included the scheduled January 17 and 19 per- formances, was also performed for the 4th, 5th and 8th grades in a closed concert at the high school. Again this year’s dinner theatre menu was provided by Mrs. Jacque Gaebel's Food Service I and II. Looking towards the clouds sometimes, ev- eryone can see something, even Charlie Brown.

Musicians Earn 29 Superior Ratings Chorus, Band Members Excel At Auburn istrict Music Contest at Auburn brought rewards for the long hours that the chorus, band, small groups and solos spent in preparation for the event. Plattsmouth vocalists and musi- cians faired well in the competition earning 29 superiors, 20 excellents and one good rating. Superior ratings were given to chorus soloists Mike McCoy, Steve Wicklund and Merri Woodward. Band members who earned superi- ors were Cindy Toman, clarinet; Cathy Furniss, flute; Jenny Pohlmeier, flute; Heidi Birdsley, flute; Amy Wehr- bein, flute, piano; Randy Furniss, tuba; Merri Woodward, French horn; Jon Reimer, cello; Brian Hudson, bari- tone saxophone; Heidi Birdsley, pic- colo; and Laura Ranney, oboe. The band received a superior and the chorus received an excellent. Laura Ranney, senior talked about the task of getting ready for her oboe solo in which she earned a superior: Every year I get really worked up. This year, instead of worrying, I worked specifically on calming myself and keeping my cool. By the time I got up there and I was about to play, I had convinced myself nerves were the only prob- lem I'd have. For the most part, it worked. It was great. I was even happy with the way it went and that's rare for me. District Music Contest on April 24- 25 gave students a chance to com- pete with students from other schools to see who's the best. It gave the band a chance to play it to the hilt, the chorus got a chance to sing up a storm, it gave the band soloists a chance to show their superiority, and it gave chorus soloists a chance to sing away the blues.

A Tanned Band Gets Tuned Up For Another Season. Superior Year Builds On Individual Honors ack from the land of the Ev- erglades where PHS band students explored: Disney World, the EPCOT Center, Wild'n Wet amusement park, and the world beyond at the Kennedy Space Center — the marching band and concert band buckled down for another season of group and individual excellence. Upon returning from the Floridian adventure, the marching band be- gan preparing for their late summer- fall performing season. To loosen up for contests in the late fall, the marching band performed at the Cass County Fair, King Korn Karnival and the Nebraska Wesleyan home- coming. These crucial performances, along with many hours of exhausting practices paid off as the band earned a superior hosting the Platts- mouth Marching Band Contest, and received an excellent rating in the State Marching Band Contest at UNO. With the season over for the marching band, concert band start- ed its own ritual towards contest in the spring. Endless hours in solos, groups and full band practices led to two successful concerts during the winter and spring and a superior rat- ing for the concert band at the Dis- trict Music Contest. Concert band soloists this year were also bestowed with much suc- cess and honors. This year's band sent four people and one orchestra member to the 50th Anniversary of the Nebraska Music Educators All- State. These honorees included Seniors Bekkijo Barkus, clarinet: Heidi Birdsley, flute: and Laura Ran- ney, oboe; accompanied by Juniors Michelle Hughes, clarinet; and or- chestra member Jon Reimer, cello. Other honor bands and groups recognized PHS band members for their efforts. UNO named Heidi Birdsley, Laura Ranney, Bekkijo Bar- kus and Michelle Hughes to their Honor Band along with Junior Cindy Toman on clarinet. Four people were also named to Who’s Who in Music including Seniors' Amy Wehrbein, Bekkijo Barkus, Laura Ranney and Heidi Birdsley for their outstanding contributions to music.

Young Mock Trial Team Looks To Next Year District Meet Names Chorus ‘Excellent’ J hrough the 1986-87 year. Chorus and Mock Trial did not have the numbers that most groups and clubs have. But it did not stop either of them in practicing hard and giving it all they’ve got. The Varsity Chorus year did not start off slow as it was time for tryouts for this year’s musical “Snoopy to be presented in mid- January. At the same time it was also tryouts for the All-State Clinic Choir. Three people tried out for this exclusive honor group and two Sen- iors, Mike McCoy and Chad Lamb, were chosen to join the Tenor sec- tion of the chorus at the late Novem- ber event. Meanwhile the chorus stayed busy organizing a mixed-choir for the EMC Conference Clinic. The eight member group performed the song “Just Mess'n Around.” After the musical was finished, concentration was set on the winter concert and District Contest in April where the Chorus as a whole re- ceived an excellent rating and the soloists combined for three superi- ors, four excellents, and one very good. At the end of the year in May, awards for the Outstanding Musician Award recognized nine people for their accomplishments as part of the Chorus. Nine people were hon- ored including: Seniors Chad Lamb, Mike McCoy, Merri Woodward, Steve Wicklund, Hege Merethe Ries- berg; Juniors Laura Shown, Deanne Durkin; Sophomores Cindy Nichols, Paula Winters; and Freshman J. J. Morris. Mock Trial, whose membership was seven people, started out in ear- ly fall. The team practiced three times a week for a month in prepara- tion for the elimination by round event. Freshman member Jeff Sauter commented on his experience. “We ended up losing in the first round, but it was still a good experience. Hopefully more people will join next year and we can win a few rounds.” Senior Steve Wicklund performs while Mrs. Joyce Reimer and Mrs. Mary Nelson accom- pany him. Senior Mike McCoy received an Outstanding Musician award at the spring concert. Chorus. Mock Trial 113 SPANISH CLUB. Front: Brian Hudson. Merri Woodward. Ember Gogerty. Heidi Birdsley, Vicki Toman.

French From leadership conferences to foreign cuisine FHA Hosts Conference; Language Clubs Thrive I I hose students who think the Future Homemakers of America just plan sewing and cute baby contests are in for a big surprise. This year’s FHA chapter has been busy with everything from leader- ship conferences . to child care. Plattsmouth played host for the 1986 District Leadership Confer- ence where Sophomore Sarah Grimm and Freshman Barb Robbins were district executive candidates. Members of the chapter also attend- ed the State Leadership Conference held in Lincoln. Fundraisers included sweatshirts made and sold by the clothing chap- ter, a face-painting booth and calen- dar sales by the child-care group. The funds were used to support the conferences and other projects by the clothing and child-care chap- ters. Many students who enjoy studying a foreign language spend extra time in the French or Spanish Clubs. Members of the language clubs get a chance to learn a little of the culture of their language through projects and fundraising. The Spanish Club builds pifiatas around Christmas or spend a couple of days during class making and en- joying the latest Spanish dish or des- sert. Posters were also sold as a fun- draiser this year. French Club members may also spend time with French desserts and candies. Fundraisers included a bake sale of French pastries and lolli- pops imported from France. Club Sponsor Virginia Paap commented on how the club benefits students. “It gives them a chance to practice cultural customs and learn about the types of food.” The big event for both language clubs each year is the trip to Worlds of Fun. Funds from each club are used to pay for transportation and offset the cost of each member's admission ticket.

Yearbook Earns Cornhusker Award DECA, Journalism Yield Contest Winners riTN robably the busiest class in I J J the school is the Journal- I j—y ism II group. These stu- dents work every day on the newspaper and the yearbook. The newspaper staff, headed by Editor Tina Porter and Assistant Edi- tor Butch Jagodzinski. Ten issues of the paper were produced. At the start of the fourth quarter, the Jour- nalism I class took over the paper to enable the Journalism II class to concentrate on the yearbook. In October, the class headed for Lincoln to the annual convention to learn about new layout, writing and theme ideas. According to Yearbook Editor Missy McCormick, “It was the best convention I have ever been to. We really learned about a lot of new ideas. The staff also accepted a Cornhusker Award for the 1986 yearbook. Publications sponsor, Audrey M. Smith, will be teaching different classes for the 1987-88 school year and so completed her last publica- tions assignment. DECA, headed by Mrs. Bonnie Mal- colm, attended a convention in Oc- tober at Kearney and also two oth- ers in Lincoln throughout the year. These conventions taught students about the determination it takes to make it in the business world. In April, Seniors Craig Martin and Missy McCormick participated in En- trepreneurship Day in Lincoln. The two were assigned to groups and each group had to invent a business and come up with ideas for that business. The two groups that the PHSers belong too both won the top awards.

Fundraisers Make a Variety of Activities Possible Art Metals Go To KC; Food Service Caters arious clubs around PHS enjoyed a very eventful year. One such club is the Art Club. The Art Club is spon- sored by Mr. Tom Wise. This year the Art Club visited Omaha’s Joslyn Art Museum and viewed a sculpture presentation. Also, the club took a field trip to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri on May 2. The club raised the money for the event by fundraisers throughout the year, one of which was selling M M can- dies. The Food Service, sponsored by Mrs. Jacque Gaebel, catered many events all year. A few of these includ- ed the Dinner Theatre, the Youth Club Banquet, the Honor Society Banquet and many other events. They also held fundraisers: for ex- ample, selling cinnamon rolls and bread sticks. The club prepares stu- dents for jobs oriented towards food service careers. The PHS Metals-Technology Club is sponsored by Mr. Lyle Stewart. The officers for this year were: Wade Hughes, president: Kelly Boren, vice president; Dave Alberts, treasurer and Brian Wagner, secretary. This year the club held a jelly bean contest and a radio drawing to raise money to sponsor a field trip to the Kansas City General Motors assem- bly plant in early May. Rick Eledge won a cash prize for guessing closest to the correct number of jelly beans. The radio was won by Mr. Weldon Condit. Also, the juniors and seniors of the Metals-Technology Club took a field trip to South East Community Col- lege in Milford, Nebraska on April 13 for a guided tour of the college.

Each class, grades 9-12, has four officers and one sponsor. The freshmen class officers are mainly in charge of organizing the class for Devilmania games at Homecoming. Sophomores handle Devilmania and also select the class ring display for students wishing to buy class rings. An extra load of responsibility is given to the junior class officers for the year. They are in charge of orga- nizing the fund-raising activities, oth- er money matters and the plans for the junior-senior prom. The entire junior class takes part in the fundraising and some planning but final arrangements are set up by the officers. The senior class officers also are given bigger jobs. Besides organizing homecoming and other smaller events, graduation is the main ob- jective of these class officers. These officers arrange selections for the class motto, flower, colors and an- nouncements. These selections are then voted on by the entire senior class. Student Council consists of six seniors, five juniors, four sopho- mores and three freshmen. These representatives meet twice a month to discuss student opinions and ac- tivities. Some of the events spon- sored by student council are: Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, Sweet- heart dance, computer match sheets for Valentine’s Day, pride week, Christmas decorations, the Senior breakfast, Parent-Teacher conferences and student exchange. All of these student representa- tives put in much of their spare time in order to make the school and its activities more enjoyable for the rest of the student body. STUDENT COUNCIL.

FBLA, Math Club Treasurer Mary Hula, senior, lights a candle as part of the NHS induction banquet. Individuals Earn Honors In Math, Business NHS Inducts Eight; FBLA, Math Compete I I here was a great de- crease in the number of National Honor Society inductees this year with 1—1 only eight new members. They are: Shayne Bateman, Roxi Bradway, Julie Kastrick, Matt Mey- er, Cindy Nichols, Niel Nielsen, Lara Scholten and Laura Shown. NHS members sold glass tankards to raise money for pins for the new members. Their service project for the year was to escort new students around the building. The annual banquet was conduct- ed by President Brian Bresnahan, Vice President Amy Wehrbein, Sec- retary Janelle Pecha and Treasurer Mary Hula. FBLA officers this year were: Tina Porter, president: Angie McGraw, vice president; Susan Shelbourn, secretary: Joni Baumgart, treasur- er: and Kellie Carmicheal, reporter. The club sold stuffed animals and Superseal, similar to Tupperware, to enable them to attend both a region- al and state leadership conference. The Regional Fall Conference was held in Omaha for three days and FBLA members from nine states at- tended to learn about Business with Class.” At SLC in April, Angie McGraw re- ceived an honorable mention in clerk-typist II and Lynn Harter earned fourth place in impromptu speaking. The Math Club has been very busy attending numerous contests this year. Tammy Stidham won first place at the Creighton Math Field day in February and the team earned seventh. Then in March, members partici- pated in the National Math Contest. Matt Meyer did the best for Platts- mouth while Jon Reimer was next and Laura Ranney third. Members also attended many computer contests throughout the year. To be a member of FBLA you must have at some time been enrolled in a business course. Shown here are Joni Baumgart. Laura Shown and Susan Shelbourn in shorthand. Senior Math Club members Brian Hudson and Jodi Draper also participated in the Brain Bowl held at PHS. NHS. FBLA. Math Club 123 Just A Touch Of Community The businesses in the community support the yearbook, athletic calendars and the school itself by attending events and activities. The community provides students with many op- portunities to hold after-school and weekend jobs. These jobs give the students some spending mon- ey to spend on movies, munchies, clothes and any other teenage necessities. It also teaches the students responsibility and the chance to see how hard the world of work can really be. But the best part of the whole thing is PAYDAY!! There's money in the pocket ready to spend and the appreciation of a job well done. Many students hold part-time jobs after school and on the weekends like Senior Shelly O'Brien.
