yearbook - Bringing Back Memories With only four experienced staff members, editor Carol Kohl- rus had her work cut out for her. A new advisor, Miss Urban, didn’t take any pressure off either, but with co-operation and dedication the 1981-82 yearbook got off to a shaky start. Writh inexperienced photogra- phers, the job of trial and error was left to Bill Roberts and De- saree’ Parker. Things got a little sticky in the photography depart- ment for awhile but with the help of the representative from Jos- ten’s, everything worked out. The staff had many trials and tribula- tions, but somehow they managed to survive and once again a year- book was published.

Music- Au Art Education And Performance RIGHT: Jill Croy, Nancy Shraag, and Larry Shoendaller pay attention to lr. Cowan as he teaches them a new song. BELOW: Mrs. Cowan plays the piano while Mr. Cowan leads the choir in singing another song. Although the 1981-82 Choir didn’t do a lot of singing in church at Friday masses, they found other activities to keep them busy. They performed for the Ladies Reading Club and the Circle meetings. They com- peted in Regional and State music festivals. Soloists Jill Croy and Martha Payne re- ceived II ratings for their per- formances while Sharmett Pin- since was rated a III. Aside from teaching the high school choir, Mr. and Mrs. Cowan also taught music to the grade school and junior high. They also conducted the adult choir that sang at Sunday masses. ABOVE: Tim Boiler, Don Moloney, and Larry Schoendaller look as if they’re really enjoying their singing. ABOVE: Choir members. TOP LEFT: Jimmy Jenkins, Tim Boiler.

Math: Educational Mut 3m You have probably seen equations like this before x - 6 x = 8 whether it be in Geometry. Advanced Math, Algebra, or even General Math. Math is very impor- tant for our education. At times it may seem hard and meaningless but this year Dr. Dixson has tried to make it a little more exciting for his students. Mr. Dixson had a special bulletin board on which he put up the names of the stu- dents who showed outstanding effort dur- ing the week. Their names fell under the titles of computer, workputer. and neat- puter. For those whose work was not quite up to par got their name under the titles of dumbputer, loafputer, and slobputer. The names changed from week to week to give the student something to strive for. Mr. Winn may not have had any fancy bulletin boards but he still kept his High school classes interested. Aside from his highschool classes Mr. Winn also spent most of the day teaching the Junior High a variety of courses. St. Xaviers will be looking for two new Math teachers next year. Mr. Dixson will be leaving for Ingalls, Kansas, while Mr. Winn will go home to Oklahoma. BELOW: Mr. Dixson relaxes while the rest of the class works hard.
