Work???? Is that what you think I do? Naaa. I just go there and act busy III In reality, students work for a number of reasons. Money for gas and other car expenses enables students to ’’cruise around.’ go to movies, eat junk food, and enjoy other forms of entertainment when not working or at school. Other expenses are the new- est tapes and fashionable new clothes that call out buy me, buy me.” Working has its frustrations. People miss out on sports activities, family gatherings, dates, and parties. Trying to have a social life can be dif- ficult when you find that your name is on the work schedule for another twenty hours on the weekend. Balancing time may prove to be difficult, but there are many common excuses that aid in 'skipping out.’ The all time most common is I’m not real- ly feeling too well, so, uh ... I don’t think I’ll be able to work tonight.” Others may go a little more drastic and say. My sister is ill. But. that does not always work. The most popular places to look for work are at local restaurants. Fast food joints are always in need of labor. Pizza places find that high school stu- dents will deliver pizzas as long as there is a stereo to listen to. Grocery stores keep students busy getting price checks and stocking shelves. Other jobs range from lifeguarding to cleaning hotel rooms with everything from clothes stores and office jobs in between. The most aggravating situations can happen while working. Ron Wes- sel said his pet peeve is when the windchill factor is twenty degrees be- low zero and I have to bring carts in. Diana Raimondo said, My pet peeve is when I trip on the mop and slip on the wet floor.” No matter what happens at work, Pam Pensick agrees that it’s the worst when customers yell at me and I have nothing to do with it. Balancing time between work and other activities may be rough, but. somehow, students manage to work everything out and prove that working students have the opportuni- ty to live life to its fullest while learn- ing to become mature adults.

Sharetime students attend classes at area schools The Sharetime Student Program, set-up to give students at Scotus the opportunity to attend classes at Co- lumbus Senior High, Columbus Junior High, Lakeview, and Platte, grew dur- ing the 1987-88 school year. The clas- ses students choose to attend were those not offered at Scotus. A total of 31 students took part in the Sharetime Program this year. The classes students chose to take were: industrial arts, beginning arch, drawing, L.D. reading, L.D. En- glish, music theory, introduction to education, introduction to behavioral science, great plains, world history, beginning electronics, auto tune-up, basic woods, advanced electronics, government, drafting, Auto I, electri- cal wiring, English level I, cabinet mak- ing, and metals. There are many vari- ous classes being taken, because the program serves several purposes. A student could choose a class to help advance their talents, or a class to help prepare them for a special field of work. Sharetime student Larry Backes said, My music theory class is really helping me prepare for col- lege.” it is obvious to Scotus students that this program is a necessity. Intro- duction to Education student Jenny Lassek said, Intro to Education really helped me make some final decisions about my career.” Although students are able to take college prep classes, there are also many vocational educa- tion classes available. Some popular ones are woods, metals, and autos. The Sharetime Student Program is definitely an asset to the Scotus curriculum. With new classes avail- able. Scotus students pass through the day by passing from building to build- ing. Being part of the Sharetime Stu- dent Program gives students the chance to excel in areas not available at Scotus. An outstanding experi- ence,” said sharetime student Marin Melcher. ▼ Martin Melcher bundles up before leaving for her advanced art class at Columbus High.

At the beginning of the year the Scotus student body received multi- colored punchcards, passes, and tickets. Not only were there green, pink, and yellow lunch tickets available, but orange library punchcards were required to use the library facilities. Some students were even so lucky as to receive a pink tardy slip first thing in the morning due to ex- cuses such as: the ever so popular oversleeping, cars wouldn't start during the cold winter days. A few selective students were just simply late. Throughout the day a handful of students are distributed green passes to transfer to their next period classes, meetings, restroom, lockers and so on. The variety of punchcards, tickets and pas- ses are designed for the benefit of the students and teachers. They lessen the amount of conges- tion in the hallways during classes. But, someday some poor student will get so mixed up with all the passes, punchcards and tickets that they will try to eat lunch with a li- brary punch, try to get into their next class with a lunch ticket, try to go to the library with a tar- dy slip, and ... Well, you get the picture. PASS OR A sftR c.-IOOfcN''' lO- IfcACrt ' Ar, 7°s. 4. O. 4a ■So. %7 % °0. . _ x - ‘ or ci ' V V? j students?

My book fell on my head!!” How often have you heard these words as you have walked through the hallowed halls of Scotus? Can I have a pass to go get a drink? To the restroom? Locker? Home? Oops, just kidding!!” Using hallways and lockers are a part of everyday life in a student’s daily schedule. Stopping in the hall to get books or chat with pals is common practice. Getting a drink to stop pangs of thirst or just to get out of class for a while occurs all the time. At 12:40 students sometimes slip out of class for 'meetings’ or to talk to Mrs. Klingelhoefer’ when in all actu- ality they are going to bum around the hallways or head into the restrooms. Using hallways and lockers is a tradi- tional social gathering time for students during a hectic day. So ... next time you’re late for school by one minute, Take off your coat ... run down the hallway to the office ... tell them your locker is stuck, and then you will no longer be tardy. It works every time!! 7 Sara Sojka and Kelly Beck have a little fun on their way to class. Todd Heimes waits to walk Annette Sueper to class. V Amy Whitehead and Thad Rosenthal chat between classes. With A Touch Of Class Monday morning, 8:10 a.m. Two students frantically flip pages, searching for answers to questions that may be on their English test. One student asks the other during a mo- ment of frenzy, Did you study?” The other replies with a quick grin, Nope, I never even opened my book!! I don't know what I’m gonna do!!!!” A common scenario such as this occurs several times during the life of the professional student. Out of all the days of a school week. Monday is the most hectic. Papers are forgotten in lockers, homework is hurriedly fin- ished, tardies are common and the end of the day arrives slowly. Several types of students can be found in school. There are the stu- dents who are prepared for anything. Tests, homework and quizzes are aced , and homework is finished ahead of time. Then there is the pro- crastinator who always seems to wait until Sunday at midnight to start a pa- per that they have had two weeks to prepare. Whatever type of student, smart or well, you know ... early or late, good or bad, the faces of '88 make up the squares and angles of a unique year! Jim Schieffer.

A reminder to the student body - as stated in the student hand- book, all students must follow the re- quired dress code. Both boys and girls at Scotus are required to dress in a way that reflects the high standards of their school and the importance of the work they do here. Dress, there- fore, should be modest and neat at all times. With this in mind, the Scotus Board, supported by the wishes of the parents, sets forth the following dress code for Scotus students: Girls are required to wear a spe- cific uniform. This uniform may be purchased at Penney's Department Store. The skirt is a green plaid skirt, which is to be worn not more than one inch above the knee. The required blouse is the plain white blouse of non- sheer material with collar and must be tucked in. Sleeves may be long or short. When a sweater is worn, it must be the green uniform sweater. Girls are permitted to wear solid dark green slacks which match the sweat- er. Slacks must not have rivets in the rear pockets. Shoes, boots, or sandals are to be worn and socks are required. Boys are to wear dress trousers to school that are in good condition. Pastels or bright colors are prohib- ited. No jeans are to be worn, nor are extremely faded, ragged, or novelty trousers are to be worn. Trousers must not have rivets in the rear pock- ets. Trousers having loops will require a belt. Shirts must have a collar and shall have no printing on them other than the school name and or insignia. No sweatshirts, tee-shirts, mesh shirts, novelty shirts, are to be worn. All shirts are to be worn tucked in. Shoes, boots, or sandals are to be worn and socks are required (no anklets). Violators will be subject to deten- tion. This concludes this morning's announcements.” Mr. Mahoney. Greg Rief. Greg Lesiak. James Ryba. Mike Horne. Jeff Niedbalski. and Chris Kudron dress-up for Mr. Ma- honey look alike day.

Vegetable? One or Two? Jello? Gravy or both? Do these words sound familiar? If they don't, they should. Have you ever really paid attention to what you are hearing Monday through Friday around 11:00 to 11:30 p.m. each week? People are never actually in tune with what the cooks are saying. They can ask a student if they want beans, and the students would say 2 please. It is obvious, when walking into Clara’s kitchen, who is really hungry and who is on the starvation diet. The ones, such as the big football players, that are really hungry will have five pieces of pizza, four grilled cheeses, seven cookies, or ten pieces of garlic bread on their tray. The people on diets, usually girls, will have maybe a cracker, dish of jello, an apple slice, or a few leaves of lettuce in their bowl. The classic tray would have every type of food from the hot lunch line plus a piled high salad, going back for thirds within five minutes. A big chal- lenge for most students each morning is guessing what the cooks made for lunch. With various suggestions, what they get for lunch that day will remain a mystery until 11:00 or 11:30! What's for Lunch?? The typical menu: Mon. Chicken fried steak, rice or mashed potatoes, buns, and jello Tues. Hot dogs -n- Runzas, curly cue fries, pink swirled cake, and corn Wed. Lasagna, corn, brownies, and garlic bread Thurs. Hamburgers, tator tots, sugar cookies, peas, and vegetable beef soup Fri. Tuna casserole, spaghetti, glazed doughnuts, and mixed vegetables Extra Table: Peanut butter and butter sandwiches, tossed salads, juice (Fridays), carrots, and leftover des- serts or fruit. ▼ Mr. Gross and Ms. Shonka eat lunch. ▼ Students wait in line to get their lunches. ▼ Cooks • Row I - Terri Dush.

Because of that we had a lot more activities than we have in the past,” said Campus Ministry director Fr. Wayne Pavela. The numerous programs kept the 140 students and 29 faculty members busy throughout the year. The garden was again a very successful project. The crop walk, canned food drive, and clothing drive were other community service projects. The crop walk raised over $2000.00 and the food drive raised 1236 cans. Many times are set aside for spir- itual renewals. Celebrate Life Week. Church Unity Week, and Catholic Schools week, along with the all school retreat, each class' retreat, the all school masses, and prayer services were important to the students. The Campus Ministry team also supports various social events throughout the year. The welcome barbeque. pancake feed, chili feed, passover supper, fish fry, Mardi Gras, and the Flalloween and Christmas par- ties give the Campus Ministers a chance to get together and work for a common cause. One of the newest ideas this year was the addition of the Campus Min- istry sweatshirts. The sweatshirts were made available to all the mem- bers. Sophomore Tim Schmitt enjoys being part of the Team.

Between concerts, the vocal groups prepared for the Boystown Choral Clinic which they have attended annually. The Christmas music concert was again combined with the band’s Christmas concert for a evening full of entertainment. A new clinic attended this year was the Lakeview Choral Clinic in which Girls’ Glee and Concert Choir were taped to be shown on Columbus Cable T.V. All music students competed at the District Music Contest where the following ratings were received: Dou- ble Mixed Sextet - I. Concert Choir - 2, Girls’ Glee - 2, Girls’ Triple Trio - 2, Miscellaneous Ensemble - 2, Girls Dou- ble Sextet - 2.

The Drama II class, as a group project, performed a 1-Act play. This year’s group performed Glimpses, a compilation of the original works of thirteen young play- wrights. The Drama II class chose ten of the thirty-two scenes to perform at confer- ence and district 1-Act competitions. Us- ing limited props. „cenery, and cos- tume, the students were able to act out their scenes with simplified real- ism. They also used the Greek Chorus technique of chanting and acting out background scenes. The 1-Act Glimpses pointed out problems such as suicide, alcoholism. and unplanned pregnancy. On the whole, the play projected the feelings of youth involved in these types of real life situations. The group placed third at an an- nual conference competition, and fourth and fifth at districts, thereby completing the year. Row I - Joe Korgie. Mike Horne. Mrs. Sandie Berm. Kelly Beck.

Thespians held initiation week in January in which all charter members were ac- cepted. Based upon cooperation, knowledge of rules and history of the organization, logic-problem solving, and courage. As a service to the student body, staff, and secretaries, Thespian mem- bers take turns saying morning and afternoon announcements. On April 27, the members along with sponsor Mrs. Sandie Bernt, took their annual trip to the Firehouse Dinner Theater to see a matinee performance of ”The Nerd”.

Our staff of 1987-1988 soon discovered that it takes self-discipline and hard work. The staff started out the year brain- storming and gathering ideas for the newspaper. Deciding that the name of the paper would remain The Rock, the staff sent out four issues during the year. One of the first major accomplishments was going out to various Columbus businesses trying to sell ads for the newspaper and yearbook. These ads plus the students purchasing yearbooks are the staff’s ma- jor source of funds. This year there were also happy and personal ads used to help in the many expenses. Starting out the year with many ideas, we decided on our theme and ev- erything fell into place.” said Jill Pilakows- ki. one of the yearbook editors. The year required many important deadlines to be met at various times. Meeting the dead- lines and accomplishing goals, the year went by very fast, and it proved to be a year of self-discipline and hard work. Newspaper - Yearbook Staff Journalism Staff: Becca Toof.

From soft rock to heavy metal mania, music gives students a Reason to Live and Faith that there will always be more to come. When it comes to rock n' roll, some students listen to it INXS. Others listen to music while studying for tests or doing homework. After they find out their grade they say, Should Have Known Better than to study with the ste- reo onlll” The cycle repeats itself again as students Rock and Roll All Night and then try to study for tests all day. Without mu- sic it would definitely be The End Of The World As We know It!!! Everywhere you go there’ll be music playin’, records playin’, dancin'... we ll be dancin’ in the . ..” Another type of musi- cal entertainment students enjoy are dances. Starting off the year with a Home- coming dance got everyone into the danc- ing mood. Joe Blood from Z-92 added an attraction that got the dance off to a great start. Then came Sweetheart dance which swept everyone off their feet through a Tunnel of Love!!! That's all I wanted, somethin’ spe- cial. somethin’ sacred ... just what I wanted ...

Jammin’ on the way to school is one way students can get themselves fully awake and ready to go. If a car radio isn’t readily available, a Boombox will take care of the problem in a minute. Tape decks were also popular. These devices provide a relatively inexpensive way of listening to favorite songs and artists. One of the most exciting and fun ways of listening to favorite songs is to make a road trip to Omaha or Lincoln to see a concert. Several Scotus students at- tended concerts such as KISS. R.E.M.. and Aerosmith. Say you will. . . Say you will. .. make up your mind ... Say you will... A vari- ety of music appealed to students for sev- eral reasons. Marin Melcher states.

Why was this year’s Home- coming seen as a time to remember ? A. Homecoming week was filled with many memorable moments. The pep club organized Spirit Week and most people dressed according to the theme of the day. For example, Thursday saw stu- dents out-of-dress-code and in some outrageous costumes depicting the sixties era - everything from long hair to go-go boots were the fashion for the day. Other activities were also used to get the school in the mood for the occasion. The Homecoming mass on Friday was a moving one for the seniors who knew this would be their last Homecoming. The mood picked up as prepara- tions for the dance were taken care of by members of the senior class who worked their decorations around the theme In the Still of the Night . After a victory over Crete and the corona- tion of Queen Traci Duren and King Mike Horne on the football field, ev- eryone was ready to celebrate by dancing the night away with Z-92 disc jockey Joe Blood. Therefore, the first formal dance for the freshmen, the first of the last dance for the seniors, and Homecoming for all those in between was one that will not soon be forgot- ten. ▼ Eric Pinger and Suzanne Soulliere serenade each other as they slow dance at the Homecoming dance.

Sweetheart was held on the 12th of February - just before Valentine's Day - and the 'love-bug' feel- ing was captured by those who attended. Six king and queen candidates were chosen from a list of those seniors who were not candidates for homecoming. Freshmen through seniors then voted on who would eventually be crowned. To fund the occasion, sophomores decorated the cafeteria according to the Sweetheart theme. We decorated to the theme 'The Tunnel of Love’,” says sopho- more Diana Sypal. It was great because everyone worked together to get fin- ished. After the 82-65 victory over Ray- mond Central, many crowded into the Me- morial Hall gym to see Annette Sueper and Greg Hunter crowned royalty. When asked to express her feelings after being voted queen Annette answered, I was shocked and just started laughing . This, as many students know, is a typical re- sponse for this year’s Sweetheart queen. Following the coronation, students gathered in Clara’s transformed country kitchen to join in the romance-filled eve- ning. The decorations were pretty. The sophomore class did a good job consider- ing it was their first time to decorate for a major dance” said junior Carie Sapp, one of the many students who attended this special event. Mike Graus and Paul Placzek added an extra love-touch with their dee- jayed music which made the night of Sweetheart a time for love. . . A Time For Love ▼ James Ryba and his harem.

Ballroom Blitz” - the Prom theme chosen by the junior class ac- curately described this year’s night of elegance. The event was held at John- nie's Steakhouse and the dinner con- sisted of prime rib, green beans, and baked potato with cheesecake for dessert. Heading the ceremony were ju- nior M-cees Ron Wessel and Jenny Done who wished, in a humorous and poetic form, the seniors well next year at college and expressed to them how much they would be missed. Rep- resenting the senior class was Cory Borer who. with a speech supplied by Kelly Beck, expressed thanks to the juniors. The decorations, based in silver and blue tones, added sparkle and pi- zazz to the evening’s night life theme. Behind the dance floor was a back- drop of New York at night which added to the illusion of elegance. Perhaps the most exciting and appreciated element to the success of the evening was the dee-jayed music of ’’Ultrasound” and the debut of Sco- tus’ band ’’The Last Ticket” (consist- ing of members: Larry Backes, Mike Horne. Tom Jackson, and Joe Korgie). These last two additions made the night one of fun, dancing, and memo- ries. Combined with the sparkling gowns in a rainbow of colors amidst matching cummerbunds and bow-ties with an occasional set of tails, the event was surely one of elegance. athletics? m f j T's m mr What are sF | Sports at Scotus range from playing football;. wHMHL cross country and track.

Long prac- tices and hot days in the weightroom payed off when it was time for the Shamrocks to hit the football field. The season got off to a good start with a 47-0 victory over Omaha St. Joe. From the first game until the last game of regular season, the Sham- rocks remained undefeated. During that time the Shamrocks defeated such rivals as David City Aquinus and Schyler Warriors. The Shamrocks’ only loss during regular season went to Fremont Bergan. The Shamrocks were defeated 28-30. It was then time for Scotus to travel to West Point for the first round of the 1987 football playoffs. The Shamrocks fell to West Point 7-15.

V Larry Backes holds the football for ted field goal. way back to School af- Jerry Szatko s attemp At the beginning of the year, there were many unanswered ques- tions about the new 1987 volleyball team. One, of course, was: Can they defend their unbeatable title and once again become State Champions? Peo- ple naturally became uncertain be- cause the team lacked experience. However, the faith of the fans and the determination of the team made them strive even more to be back in the high life again. The Shamrocks obtained their winning streak throughout their whole successful season, however, the Shamrocks fell short of their dream. Tears were shed by the team when they were defeated in the finals of the district game. Although their dream to be State Champions was not reached, they had nothing to be ashamed of. They showed their strength, talent, and determination through the outstanding record of 20- I. They had something to prove, and they did it by never giving up.

Stretch! then we’re gonna run six miles of hills, four sets of sprints, run with the bus, and then possibly ..Imagine hearing these dreaded words everyday by the girl’s cross country coach, Mr. Dan Maho- ney, and running in unpredictable weather ranging anywhere from a blistering 100° to blizzard conditions. This shows only a small portion of how much strenuous work and dedication went into a daily practice. The hard work does pay off, as the girls proved to have another suc- cessful season, returning four veteran seniors-, and one new senior, Jenny Lassek, six juniors, one sophomore, and two freshmen. Thus, the largest team in the his- tory of Scotus began the season run- ning for the Olympic Torch Run in August. Starting in the heat of early morning at Schuyler, the members in- dividually ran with the torch any- where from two to four miles at a time. The run ended in Fremont where they were filmed on T.V. for Channel II The season officially opened with the Albion Invite in which the team placed second. As the season progressed, they did good and won the North Bend and Scotus Invitation- al. and accomplished personal bests. Despite several injuries, the team placed second at the District meet on the home course and won their third consecutive trip to the state meet in Kearney where they placed sixteenth. During the season, a U.S. map was posted in the locker room, and the daily mileage was marked across it. When the season ended, the girls had run the distance from Chicago to Los Angeles, Calif. - a total of over 2,100 miles of challenging courses and country roads. ▼ The Scotus girl’s team stretches before the big race at Districts. y Jolene Sokol painfully strives for the finish line. ▼ Steph Wiese and Lisa Follette run side by side lo the finish at the State track meet. ▼ Annette Sueper strides past an opponent at the State meet in Kearney.

IrtlLL kl Come on fellas, let’s run a little bit harder!” These encouraging words by the boy’s cross country coach, Fr. Wayne Pavella, could be heard daily in practice as they put forth a lot of hard work and efforts to make the 1987 CC season a success. The team returned four seniors, three juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman. Chad Labenz and Dan Parolek be- gan their training season early, as they attended a one week cross coun- try camp at South Dakota State Col- lege in July. During the week they at- tended many sessions teaching dif- ferent running techniques and aver- aged running ten miles a day. Chad Labenz said, It was fun, but it was a lot of hard work, and a learning expe- rience.” To open the season, the boys placed fourth at the Albion Invite. As the practices and meets continued to grow more intense, the team re- mained fairly consistent as they also placed fourth at the Scotus Invite and the Conference meet. The team’s greatest success hap- pened when they placed second at the District meet on the home course, which earned them a trip to the state meet in Kearney. The Qualifying team consisted of Kelly Beck, Steve Soul- liere, Dan Parolek, Chad Labenz, Robbie Wade, and Darby Staub. Although the team wanted to have a better season, Chad Labenz said, It went well, and we’ll definitely do better next year. Cross country is great! V Greg Hunter races to the finish line.

Ljlit Utilllt The girls on the basketball team com- bined all of their individual talents to pro- duce an outstanding year. It was the first year in girls’ basketball history that a trip to State was earned. The determination to win and all of the hard work that was put in each day at practice paid off in the end. The season started with a loss against Lincoln Pius. This did not upset the Lady Shamrocks, it in turn made them work har- der. The season was filled with many vic- tories and only a couple letdowns. The support of the fans and the confidence of the team worked together to come home with a District win over Hartington Cedar Catholic. March 3 the Shamrocks traveled to Lincoln. Nebraska for the State Tourna- ment. The team was defeated in the first round by Ord. Although they were not State Champions their determination and success is respected by all. The 1988 girls’ basketball team is an honorable group and the first to earn a State trip. So it is easy to see that through a suc- cessful regular season, a District Champi- onship, and a trip to State the Lady Sham- rocks carried on the winning tradition.

List List L L L The 1988 girls' track team showed much determination and holds a lot of promise for the years to come. Hardwork and long practices proved to strengthen the girls and lead them to many individual and group victo- ries. The few seniors that participat- ed showed great leadership. The un- derclassmen contributed a great deal and will continue to carry on the Shamrock pride in the future years. The team began their season with a trip to Crete where they placed third at the Doane Invite. On March 30 the traditional Scotus Relays were held and the girls took first place.

The boys’ track season began in March with practices. Following a couple of weeks of practice the boys traveled to Boystown for the Boys- town invitational. This was the begin- ning of the Shamrocks search for suc- cess. After Boystown meet the Sham- rocks would face many tough oppo- nents in Invitationals. Triangulars, and Duals. Some of the teams they faced were Flanigan. Elkhorn. and Grand Is- land Northwest. Success was found by the Sham- rocks during the Knights of Columbus meet. The boys’ track team finished first at this meet. Soon it was time for the Shamrocks to go to the Confer- ence meet and then to the Districts, and on to State.
