The reason for being. The people. Happy voices filled the hallways. Trained minds ready to teach and share knowledge. '79 enrollment figures aroused Sandy Molt Chris Liberty Kevin Smith interest. Freshmen contributed 23 students to the school, while sophomores added the same number Both the junior and senior classes tallied 21 easy-going guys and gals for a grand total of 88 different and vibrant personalities. 4 Freshmen study in various ways, diligently, wearily, frantically, constantly. In the hustle and bustle of freshman life, novice Irish found it necessary to keep up with their various classes and courses of study. The library was the common place for those students whose last night's homework had not been done Groups of frantic freshmen filled the tables and chairs. Each hurried to complete assignments. (There's always TV watching and the ever enticing telephone). The home front was another location where worried and tired freshmen could retreat to their schoolwork. Some studied to the music of their favorite radio station. Others studied with television viewing vying for their attentions. Still others concentrated to total silence, in the seclusion of their room. Most felt a responsibility to complete their night's assignments. Starting upper left: What's new at school? Mark Bippes and Steve Hoy check out the bulletin board Above: The freshmen class officers: Jennifer Burghart. Henry Silva. Jeff Oliver, and Kathy Aitken. Below: Today we will discuss the Book of Job. Religion class always requires strict attention. 5 High school starts a new chapter in a teenager's life. With high school come decisions and responsibilities that signify young adulthood. Learning can be a tremendous challenge or a humilitating debacle depending on how well a young person handles his new independence. Young people in high school learn very soon that their school team needs their loyalty to help them win. Their friends need loyalty, too. So do the teachers and so do the young people to themselves. Self-respect and loyalty go hand in hand with each other. Starting high school is a big step towards tomorrow and the future. It can be one of the greatest times in a person s life, if he can shape its potent power to suit his destiny. Challenges faced in a teen's years are always important, whether they are of major consequence or not. The actions that are taken reflect the future type of person that teenager will be. Growing up is never easy, but it can make adulthood a little more so. “Hello. Mom? Betsy Marx takes a call. Learning is instruction. Sister Hilaria has Henry Silva s undivided attention while Mark Bippes takes a moment to daydream Jeff Coonce looks incredulous while Kevin Smith contemplates a long afternoon. 6 Crowded halls between classes SH's Bleacher Creatures were a regular feature at volleyball games. Sophomores Step Up Steve Froeschl Don Strecker Jeff Frederick Joyce Stratton Janet Tauchen Dave Kopetzky Gene Ramer Jerome Keithley Ronnie Bennett Norbert Silva Philip Knobbe Doug Goltz Lisa Owens Marcie Meinzer Gayle Prater Vicki Rathman Frank Burger Kevin Gerdes Jayne Stratton Amy Keithley The Latin translation for sophomore is wise fool. It became popular as a title of the beginners in school. But Sacred Heart s sophomores were nobody's fools about anything and they didn't fool around about their determination to make a mark for themselves in high school. Sophomores made the varsity team in football, basketball, and volleyball. Several attended the Creighton Math Contest held at Creighton University. Speech class gave a number of promising sophs a chance to develop their oratory skills. Typing lessons were classes In skill, speed, and accuracy under the direction of Sister Ann Barton. 7 Swinging Into Action Songs in the keys of life. Trumpeteer Doug Goltz blasts out a clear and crisp tone with the epitome of concentration. Sacred Heart s concert band was directed by Sister Madeleva Ditmars. Along with the great talent of some dedicated young musicians. Sister used her many years of musical experience and developed a concert group known throughout the area for its ability and its own special sound. Besides the many hours of work and endless attempts at reaching the mythical plateau of perfection, the band played at the Irish pep rallies and attended several basketball games held at Prichard Auditorium. Members also attended the Galaxy Conference Instrumental Clinic at the end of March. English class has many different facets to hold and interest a student. Sacred Heart had its share of classes with something different. Maybe it was myths — learning stories about nice teachers. Science fiction — learning about the weird creatures that lurk about SH. Or Creative Writing — learning to write the “bright’’ sayings that at times adorned the bathroom walls. Seriously. English classes were taught by Mrs. Marcia Schwartz, and Miss Linda Uher. Some base studies touched on were humanities, literature, grammar, and term papers. Students in sophomore English work diligently on a quiz after viewing a film relating to their studies of the English language. 8 Sophs Learn For Future The last eclipse of the century. Don Strecker views the last eclipse over the United States until 2017. A quiet moment during a hectic day. Philip Knobbe checks out what he hopes will be a worthwhile book. The library wasn't always as quiet as it was supposed to be at Sacred Heart Before school it was one of several social centers students flocked to in the morning. Once classes began, however, the library became a center not for socializing, but a place for concentration and learning. The senior American Problems Class was taught by Coach Lonnie Ford while other subjects in the library included Sister Hilaria's speech class, and shorthand and business math taught by Sister Ann Barton. The library was headed by Mrs. Marcia Schwartz. The school board held its meetings on the second Tuesday evening of each month in the library. Faculty meetings used it on Friday mornings before classes began. The accommodations provided by the library made it an excellent conference room. Although the library was small it had an excellent reference and background information system. It included a wide selection of books and articles ranging from science fiction to Shakespearean literature Students could be found searching among the book shelves for information needed to complete a term paper, research paper or an assignment Quiet, peaceful, solitary, the library provided the ideal place for students to catch up on the latest novel. Soph class officers Don Strecker. Vicki Rathman. Dave Kopetzky. and Norb Silva take a moment for the camera. For the Class of 1981.

Brian Burghart offers some advice to Mike in the background. Juniors Make Big Mark Juniors get a kick out of..................Clubs, dances. vacations, friends. Aside from the set schedule of school activities. Juniors found it necessary to stretch their time to allow for the things which they enjoyed most. The Pep Club led the cheers at football and basketball games. Dances brought juniors together to socialize, party, and to have a good time, while forgetting the hectic school life and the classes and tests it entailed. Vacations gave Juniors time to catch up on unfinished homework, study for unstudied-for tests or maybe even hold a party. In any case. Juniors took advantage of their free time to relax and regenerate their minds for the upcoming rigors of school. Juniors found company, compassion, and laughter from their friends. These special people made life a little easier. The Towering Inferno; Homecoming '79. The Homecoming Show was held the night before the final season game. Let's see. what'll it be? Lenny Baker makes his selection. The drink machines were popular during lunch. Taking over the reign, junior Brian Burghart was chosen as the 1980 Spotlight editor. Aw. come on. guys!

Kindergarten through high school. From Teddy Bears to blue jeans. Born into the turbulent 60 s and stepping out into the complexity of the everchanging '70s. Early elementary years were filled with reluctance, fear, and a need to be guided with a firm hand and an ever-watchful eye. The latter years of grade school saw young minds forming into individuals with something to offer. Junior high came along bringing new and different feelings Preteens had doubts as they began shaping morals and values into meanings of their own. Conflicting forces entered, at times hindering decisions. Freshmen and sophomores grew up quickly. They learned, hesitatingly at first, to study for exams and to prepare for the rigors of high school. Changes and new people helped to mature them, as they went on to their junior year. More challenges enlivened their Friends are forever. Lisa Knobbe and Pat Goltz spirits. As almost seniors” they were able to make more intelligent decisions based on past experiences. And they had more fun. beginning to run projects and extra-curricular activities for themselves, growing seniors for that final high school plateau, a stage which marked the end of childhood, the start of adulthood. Seniors worked to make their last year memorable. There were a lot of living accomplishments before the next landmark in their lives — be it college or jobs. REFLECTIONS holds a record of the growing and the living. The Class of 1979.

With only one returning starter from the 1977-78 season. Brad Oliver, the team spent much of its time incorporating new talent into the starting lineup Top scorers for the Irish were Junior forward guard Mike Olberding with 189 points and Sophomore guard Doug Goltz adding another 176 Senior Brad Oliver led the team in rebounding; hauling down 169 from the center position. Other Irish starters included Bob Stratton, leading free-throw percentage; Robert Burghart. top field goal percentage; Jeff Goltz. defensive specialist; and Terry Horner, who led the team with a single high game mark of 26 points. Junior Kirby Oliver turned in a fine season performance as the team s power forward. Mike Finck was one of the better Irish defenders; blending speed with intense determination to thwart opposing ball-handlers. The highlight of the season came late in the schedule for the young Irish at Prichard Auditorium. There Sacred Heart defeated rival Southeast Consolidated in a last-second thriller. 44-43. It was the first time in two years that Sacred Heart had defeated Southeast and Coach Lonnie Ford's first victory over the Mustangs since taking over the Irish basketball program The six Irish players who participated in the game were each awarded MVP status for their outstanding play during the course of the game Sacred Heart closed out its season with a 5-11 mark that with more player experience could have well been at 10-6 or better. Although it was a disappointing season in view of the won loss column, there were bright spots. The Irish developed a fast-paced style of offensive play as well as a bruising inside power game to complement their outside firepower. Defensively. Sacred Heart utilized an effective zone trap and a sticky man-to-man. It was a season for developing new talent and of seeing flashes of a powerhouse team. It was a season for the future. The Irish spent a season preparing for a run on the Galaxy Conference and a district championship. Senior forward Jeff Goltz rises to new heights during the overtime loss to Northeast Nodaway. The Irish rallied from a 14 point deficit to take the Nodaway team into OT.

Leading scorers for the team were Patti Cowles. Debbie Nichols, and Pat Goltz. Goltz. Nichols, and Dottie Hill pulled down the most rebounds.

Sacred Heart honored its outstanding performances at its annual spring banquet held in early May. The master-of-ceremonies was Mr. Jim Hill and the guest speaker was Mr. Charlie McBride one of the fine coaches from the University of Nebraska's football team. Following dinner. Coaches Lonnie Ford and Linda Uher summed up their feelings about the team's performances in their respective sports and gave their personal thanks to the people who helped make the Irish sports program successful. Varsity letters were awarded to the athletic participants, a number of whom were three-sport standouts. Honors were also paid to students for their academic achievements throughout the course of the year An added attraction to the program was the KTNC Sports Award s recognition of the outstanding Senior girl athlete As featured speaker. Coach Charlie McBride spoke of his experiences in Wisconsin and Illinois while coaching and raising his family and then his decision to come to Nebraska. Saying he was very happy to coach in the Cornhusker state. Coach McBride paid Nebraskans a great compliment in respect to their pride and dedication. Perhaps as an epilogue to the banquet it should be noted that recognition is given not so much for excellence, but for participating; for having the courage to make the effort to succeed. After all. the cup doth not runneth over until someone first turns on the faucet. Congratulations! Senior Tom Bangert accepts his Varsity letter from Emcee Jim Hill during the awards ceremonies.

The coach's excellent speech ended with the audience giving him a standing ovation. 26 i It’s Show Time! Performances were staged by Sacred Heart students throughout the 1978-79 term. Heading the list was the musical extravaganza entitled “The Music Man directed by Sister Madeleva Ditmars. The band delved into classical musical selections as well as performing pop numbers such as rock artist Randy Newman s hit single “Short People.” The Band also played at pep rallies and at the annual Humboldt Fair. 1979 saw the start of the first annual Teen Challenge for Cancer sponsored by local radio station KTNC. Area schools participated by making donations and by sponsoring their own half-hour radio show. Sacred Heart s voices over the airways were Juniors Bob Stratton and Patti Cowles. The show was a huge success. Shows outside of school made it big too. Some of the top box-office moneymakers were Saturday Night Fever, Superman”, and The Spy Who Loved Me. Coming Home and The Deer Hunter” won several Oscars at the Academy Awards. Entertainment showed its versatility over the course of the year in many forms. It was a year to remember. Saturday Night Live visits SH. Bob Stratton and Bob Crofford portray the Blues Brothers. 28 The Musical Marvels of Sacred Heart. Talent abounded in the ranks of the Irish Band with the classy sound. Sopranos and tenors come alive. Rhythm and style were the watchwords of the Chorus. Below: Sacred Heart dancers do their thing for an appreciative audience. Music Man Stars at SH Dottie Hill was a “Star.” The Music Man was a huge success due to a great deal of work from many people; the band, art students, members of the chorus, and of course, the audience.

Not just the classrooms, the history lessons, homework and term papers Not just the long halls — first silent and then deafening with the rush of many hurrying individuals. The talk. The cherished, shared secrets. The teachers. The ones who pushed us and looked on with pride when we accomplished our goals. Who were interested in us. But there was more than memories. The activities covering the major part of our day have made Sacred Heart what it is. They have brought it to life, given it a heart, a mind. And even a soul. The good times and the bad. Laughter and tears. Triumphs and tragedies The hurts. The good moments. The teams, the clubs, the hardwork. everything worthwhile We did it. And we got something for it. Not extra pay or special treatment. But we settled for a smile, a handshake, a good feeling for doing a good thing. So . . . this was Sacred Heart. A name. A building. Bricks, mortar, and chalk dust. Peopled by a 100 warm, questioning individuals. We are happy to have been an important factor of SHHS. '78-'79. We are even happier to know that, as long as we live, it will bring pleasure to dwell into the memories. We re the ones who make Sacred Heart go, the dynamic class of '78- 79. 36 Goodbye. ■■
