Shelby High School - Husky Yearbook (Shelby, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1984 volume:

HUSKY 1984 BRINGING OUT OUR BEST SHELBY PUBLIC SCHOOLS The Husky '84 annual theme took a while to choose, but once the year got rolling there was no question in our minds that Bringing Out Our Best would be a very appropriate theme. Throughout the school there is always somebody, some- where, somehow, and at sometime Bringing Out Our Best. Whether it be our teachers or coaches, the custodians, bus drivers, lunch program personnel, secretaries, or administra- tion; they are all preparing us for our future, making us run extra laps, keeping our school sanitary, getting us to school on time, keeping our stomaches from growling, giving us mes- sages, and keeping everything under control. The students are busy working at their best for good grades, scholarships, and making parents proud. They are also work- ing together in sports, band, vocal music, and other activities to be number one and keep the Shelby tradition at its BEST. As you turn through the pages of this yearbook we hope you find yourself and your friends Bringing Out Your Best dur- ing the '84 year. We hope it helps you recall memories that can be brought back out forever and ever.

The class of 1984 would like to dedicate this annual in remembrance of a fellow classmate and friend Mike Sptiz. Mike passed away before he could graduate with the class.

Beginning on Monday the 19th of September, Homecoming was started with baby day. Following that was Hawaiian day, Punk rock day, formal day, and finally grub day. Eighth grader, Rjck Luchsinger, went all out and got a Mohawk for punk rock day. Homecoming day, Friday the 23rd, was a rather nice day except for the wind which made the floats tougher to put together and stay together. Float building, under the theme Video Games, was start- ed at 8:30 a.m. and was to be done before the judges came at noon. At 1:30 the traditional Homecoming parade was under way through the main street of Shelby. Some of the highlights of the parade were the pep rally with the cheerleaders performing routines and a spirit boosting skit. The band played the school song and other spirit lifting tunes. The time everyone had been waiting for all week had finally come. Through decorating the school, dressing up for Spirit week, getting dates, and building floats, everyone was ready for the big football game with Howells. The Shelby fans came ready to cheer the foot- ball team to a victory. The football team was not about to let them down, and so they defeated Howells 28-18 for another Homecoming victory. During halftime at the football game, Spirit week winners were announced as well as the winners of the float building competition. In the junior high, the winners were the eighth graders with Pit- fall and the seventh graders were the runners up with Bugertime. In the high school competition the freshman won first place with Q-Bert , the juniors had the Royalty Float and took second place.

Not Pictured Tony Hernbloom Shelby one of best in conference Football practice began August 15 with 33 boys prsent and ready to Bring Out Their Best for a successful 1983 football season.

The annual soap game was held Friday, August 26 in order to give the team practice and receive soap from the spectators. The teams first win also came from Genoa'with a score of 31-21. Losing the next two games against Henderson and Stromsburg didn't phase the Huskies as they brought out their best to win the next four games against Howells, Osceola, Fullerton, and Dorchester. As the season came to an end the Huskies took two losses to two tough teams, Humphrey St. Francis and Hastings St. Cecelia Both were rated The 1983 football season record was 5-4. This record made the team tri- champions of the Golden Rod Conference with Stromsburg and Genoa. Highlights of the 1983 season were beating Osceola by a big score, 41-0, and being tied for the conference championship. The team achieved eight of its 13 goals by having 17 quarterback sacks on opponents, recovering 20 total fumbles, gaining 777 total passing yards, gaining 2177 total yards, averaging 22 points a game, tying for GRC champions, achieving 75% of extra point tries, and having only an average of 45 penalty yards per game.

Honorable mention honors went to: Hernbloom, defensive end; Mike Davis, offensive lineman; O'Brien, quar- terback; and Moon, defensive linebacker.

The team started practice August 15 with 37 girls determined to make this the Best season they possibly could. The team also had a new assistant coach, Dan Schnoes, who was well likec and adapted very well for his first time coaching. The girls had three weeks to prepare for the first game of the season against Stromsburg. The team must have done a good job in preparing for the game as they beat Stromsburg 15-3, 15-10. Keeping the spirit going entering the SCC Milford Invitational Tournament, the girls were facing a new experience, because they had never been in this tournament before and would meet some tough competition. The tournament was an all day event. The girls met Hebron in the first round of play beating them 15-8, 15-12. The next game was against Milford and the girls took their first loss of the season in three long sets 9-15, 16-15, 15-17. The team then had to play Lincoln Christian, losing 12-15, 3-15. The gills' next big games were in the David City Invitational Tournament where they took third place. Receiving honors in the tournament were Teresa O'Brien and Tami Hegi, first team all tournament, and Lorrie Bilstein, honorable mention. The next big event for the girls was the Goldenrod Conference Tournament. For the second year in a row the girls came home with first place. Chosen for the Goldenrod Tournament Team were Teresa O'Brien and Lorrie Bilstein, first team; and Tami Hegi, second team. Seeded first for the district tournament held in Osceola, the girls again came home with the first place trophy. This advanced the girls to the regional playoff where the girls met Deshler to see who would advance to the state tournaments. Unfortunately the girls just couldn't seem to get things to go their way, losing 13-15, 12-15. Coach Jurrens was assisted by Dan Schnoes and four student managers: Stephanie Augustin, Julie Hegi, Robin Hernbloom, and Deb Shanahan.

The team lost to Stromsburg, Palmer, and Hen- derson, the top teams in the state. But the boys knew they “brought out their best“ against some tough competition. Head Coach, Terry Fusco,' aid tnis team played as close to their ability as any team ne has coached. He also added this team played well together and every member, gave unselfishly to a team effort.

Trophies we won include Gold- enrod Conference football co- champions; GRC volleyball season and tournament champions; boys basketball tournament consolation winners; girls basketball season co- champions and tournament (GRC and district) runners-up; third place trophy in the Husky Relays; 20-year participation award for the band attending the Pershing band contest. Even though trophies aren't giv- en to students for their work in the classroom, many students were rec- ognized on the honor roll and per- fect attendance charts. Also, many seniors won scholarships. Looking back, we can say that in the 1983-84 school year we did Bring Out Our Best . mm
