•flME ...for a small school with big ideas. We are not limited by the size of the school, only by the size of our imaginations. At Sutherland, this proves to be a small limitation indeed. Becoming the Nebraska pilot school for an AT T Classroom of the Future computer system began expanding educational horizons. The system offers many possibilities in communications, research, and teaching aids. In the interest of cutting costs while maintaining quality education, the Sutherland and Hershey school boards began talking about sharing various programs. Superintendent Michael Cunning becoming the top administrator at both schools was the first step. North Central Accreditation came closer to being a reality with improvements in educational programs and an accreditation team visit in January. Many schools of similar size are unable to meet the criteria for accreditation by North Central. Above: “Sack-Lunch Thursday” organizers Larry Baker and Shawn Hoatson pass through the line at the popular new salad bar, a hot lunch program addition brought about partly because of student protest. Top right: Chad Morgan and Mike Green see what AT T’s Writer’s Workbench, a program that analyzes writing, has to say about their English research paper. Bottom right: Biology teacher Mike Troxel works on a teaching demonstra- tion on the AT T image processing equipment. Mr. Troxel, with the help of physical science teacher Kerry O'Connor, combined graphics, voice, and photos in the lesson and transferred the presentation over the phone lines to a National Science Teachers Association meeting in St. Louis. 2 Top: Discussing Sutherland’s bid for North Central accreditation are Terry List, Nate Stlneman, Superin- tendent Michael Cunning, and Don Osborn. The accreditation team conferring with Mr. Cunning con- sisted of administrators from area schools. Bottom: Superintendent Michael Cunning began doing double duty at both Sutherland and Hershey when the two school boards voted to share a superintendent. The school board began to discuss the options of building a new school or extensively remodeling the old part of the building constructed in 1917. The action was needed to meet safety regulations and to correct various structural problems in the building. Right: Board members Dwight Thompson, Marge Beatty, Randy Lavaley, Milan Moore, Greg Arnold, and John Plucknett discuss changes ahead for the school building. Below: This may not be a familiar sight in the near future. The building, standing since 1917, faces either major renovation or re- placement. 4 school is a time for laughing, learning, and developing friendships. As the year begins, old friendships are rekindled and new ones begin Throughout the year, these friendships grow, creating lasting memories. But friendships don’t end at graduation. The friendships people develop in high school are carried with them throughout their lives. Truth or...AAAAAH! Students Show True Selves -------great variety of people make up a school. Everyone brings a unique personality ■ ., J to the school-in the class- room, at an activity, or in the halls between classes. The wide range of talents, interests, and attitudes makes it a special place to be. Clockwise from upper left: Mike Tidyman is the victim of Dean Trusty’s daily muggings. Don’t point, Amy; it’s rude!

Whether they’re helping a student with a difficult math assignment or a family problem, they like kids.

Whether it be hitting a basket at Crunch!! Defense, Power Highlight Season The football season proved that pride is definitely in the team’s vocabulary. The team finished the year with a 5-3 record in a very talented conference, whose top spot was shared by Sidney and Dalton-Leyton, both of which won close games against the up-and-coming Sailors. Sutherland developed quite a one-two punch in the form of a sirong offensive unit and a crushing defense. Some of the best offensive statistics in a long while were posted after a flurry of line changos that left the quarterback at center. However, the eliminating factor in the Sailors’ game plan was a defense that didn't understand the words pain, guilt, or impossible. These facts have been documented in such inspiring statistics as the Hyannis Longhorns gaining only 33 yards during the second half of the Homecoming game. The word for the year was not “big,” but “heart.” Under the direction of head coach Todd Chessmore and assistant coaches Doug Fastenau and Ken Thiele, the phrase “never say die’’ was reinstated to the Sailor football team. Following the season, all-conference teams included members of the Sailor team. Shawn Hoatson and Sean Land were picked for all-conference honors, and Jeff Hoatson, Larry Baker, and Jason Main were named honorable mention. Shawn Hoatson also received honorable mention all-9tate recognition and was chosen to participate in the 8-man All Star Game and the Western Nebraska All Star Game. Coach Todd Chessmore was also picked to be an assistant coach in the Western Nebraska All Star Game. Top left: Jeff Manary makes the tackle as Shawn and Jeff Hoatson rush to help.

A new idea to promote spirit was the creation of tho Spirit Squad, which combined the drill team and cheerleaders. To begin the year, the squad attended the Sideline Spirit camp, which was attended by schools from all classes. At the end of the competition, they were awarded the Outstanding Squad trophy. The group also sponsored an elementary drill team camp as a fund raiser. Once football season started, they sold balloons at the games. During Homecoming, the squad fired up the town at the bonfire with cheers and the snake dance. Throughout the year they revived school spirit with pep rallies. The sponsors are Cindy Arnold, Gege Roberts, and Janie Rasby.

This year’s officers Shawn Hoatson-president, Mindi Rasby-secretary- treasurer, and Sean Land-sergeant-at-arms, spent a lot of time thinking of the perfect fund raiser: the Car Wash!

The North Platte Elks' Lodge was decorated in streamers, balloons, and sequined masks for the theme Midnight Masquerade. After the banquet, there was the reading of the prophesies by Rhonda Forden and James Nicholas and the wills by Larry Baker and Toni Hottovy. The dance lasted until 1:00 a.m. and included an air guitar contest and the crowning of the king and queen. Starting at 2:00 a.m. was the after-Prom party, which featured food, pop, carnival games, The Dately Game, Win, Lose, or Draw, and a lip-sync contest. The participants tried to win as much play money as possible to cash in for tickets which would be used to draw for prizes afterwards. It all ended with donuts in the gym for breakfast early Sunday Morning. Clockwise from left: Kelli Rickett and Mlndl Rasby do their version of “Great Balls of Fire” at the after-Prom party.

The story opens with Albert Peterson (Jay Elfeldt) and Rose Alvarez (Dena Troxel) in their New York office. Conrad Birdie (Jeff Hoatson) a famous rock star and the main source of revenue of Almaelou Music, Inc., is going into the army, and Albert can’t pay his guarantee. So Rosie comes up with a scheme to make enough money to pay the guarantee, dissolve the company, and help Albert go back to college to be an English teacher. But Albert is hesitant to dissolve the company because it would break his mother’s heart. They take Conrad to Sweet Apple, Ohio, to give Kim MacAfee (Rhonda Forden) one last kiss. Conrad gets punched out by Kim’s boyfriend, Hugo Peabody (Brent Johnson). The kiss is set up for next week, but the townspeople want Conrad in jail for his promiscuity. He is set up and arrested. Albert bails him out, disguises him as Rosie, and sends him back to New York with his mother (Bobbi Hughes). Rosie arrives late for the train, and Albert informs her that he has taken a teaching position in Pumpkin Falls, Iowa, and he will marry her. Clockwise: Jay Elfeldt and Bobbi Hughes help Stacy Tilford (Gloria Rasputin) off the floor. The town of Sweet Apple, Ohio, comes out to greet Conrad Birdie. Mrs. MacAfee (Heather Wisdom) and Rhonda Forden, clear away the breakfast table while Mr. MacAfee (John Folchert)continueseating.The mayor of Sweet Apple (K.D. Tausan) and his wife, Edna (Missy Sandberg), present Conrad with the key to the city. The musical was produced by special arrangement with Tams-Witmark. 50 Spit It Out!! Speech Members Speak Minds Talk, talk, talk...That seems to be what speech people do best. The speech team consisted of twelve talented and eager people led by first year speech coach, Sherry Thompson. Throughout the year, team members placed in various events at contests and meets. At the Sutherland Invitational, Bobbi Hughes, Michelle Paulman, and Cori Ann Shada received second, fourth, and sixth places, respectively, in humorous prose, Dena Troxel, Jacquie Rasby, and Kelli Rickett were second, third and fourth, respectively, in informative speaking, and LeDonna Feusner placed fifth in extemporane- ous. Jacquie Rasby placed fourth in informative speaking at the Wallace Invitational, and Michelle Paulman received the second place medal in humorous prose at the SPVA contest. Front row: Brad Halcott, Michelle Paulman, Bobbi Hughes, LeDonna Feusner. Middle row: Cori Ann Shada, Tami Thompson, Dena Troxel. Back row.

Brad Halcott, Cori Ann Shada, and Brenda King perform their oral interpretation of drama. Students in the Spotlight School Presents Two One-Act Plays The crash of breaking glass...An intruder quickly shuffling through the desk...Suddenly a light flashes on and Daisy Busby enters. Thus begins a crazy evening of humor in the first of two one-act plays, “Nobody Sleeps.” As the evening wears on, Spike becomes exasperated because the family members continually question his amateur methods and accuse him of being a phony. In the end, he confesses that he is really a late-night paper carrier just trying to “earn” some extra money. In the second one-act play, “Sparkin’,” Orry Sparks is a naive country boy in love with the young, innocent Lessie Painsberry. But Granny won’t approve of his boyish courting until he brings her some chocolate drops. The play combines the simple charm of a young man in love and the sarcastic personality of an old-fashioned grandmother. First year Speech Theatre Musical letter winners are Bobbi Hughes, Tami Thompson, LeDonna Feusner, Jay Elfeldt, Teresa Richards, Brad Halcott, Jennifer Burrows, Jeff Hoatson, Tory Copeland, Cori Ann Shada, Jacquie Rasby. Second year letter winners include Michelle Paulman, Tania Moore and Dena Troxel. Michelle Paulman was also the recipient of the senior theatre award. Behind the scenes, Brad Halcott eats the props. At the conclusion of Sparkin', young love prevails. Orry Sparks (Brad Halcott) and Lessie (Teresa Richards) fall in love, much to the chagrin of Granny (Michelle Paul- man) and Susan (Cori Ann Shada). Spike (Tory Copeland) can’t believe his horrible luck. The Busby family, Ada (Bobbi Hughes), Mrs. Busby (Tami Thompson), Daisy (Jennifer Burrows), and Glory (Tania) Moore), gives the thief the third degree. These plays were produced by special arrangement with Baker’s Plays, Boston. 53 Shining Stars Show Off Talents Junior high is a time for growing and learning.

Hl Journalistic Endeavors Think about it. The stuff in this book you’re holding right now has been written, typed, photographed, cut up, pasted down, cleaned up, and slaved over for a whole school year by the journalism class. It’s a lot of work, but in the end, it’s worth it. Winners of journalism awards and members of the 98% Club in journalism were Tania Moore and Michelle Paulman. Group photo: Mindi Rasby, Tania Moore, Mr. Mosher, Rogina Ridenour, Michelle Paulman, Tammi Evenson, Clay Weinman, Matt Dancer, Toni Hottovy. Not pictured: Jeff Hoatson, Jeff Manary. Above: Rogina, Jeff M., and Toni put together a layout at a yearbook workshop. Right: Tania is happy about actually taking a good picture. 60 The Language of Learning Whether it’s literature, grammar, or composition, English has always been a major component of a school’s curriculum, because it is important to be able to speak and write correctly and creatively. Everyone must also take at least one year of a foreign language to expose them to the language and customs of another culture. The 98% Club members in Grade 8 English were Tara Moore, Heather Thompson, and Justin Hoatson, in Honors English II, Tania Moore and Michelle Paulman, and In Spanish II, Amy Goedert and Stasi Margritz. Top to bottom: Students play Win, Lose, or Draw using Spanish words. Sophomore English students work on a group assignment. Deric McConnell, Stasi Margritz, and elementary students act out “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” in Spanish for an assembly. Spanish teacher Mrs. Wallace gives English teacher Mr. Mosher the brush-off. 61 Science and Technology Education is always expanding in new ways. Computer classes were unheard of a decade ago. And while courses in science, math, and social studies have been around a long time, they are extending their roles with classes such as senior math, advanced biology, and modern problems. The members of the 98% Club in Computer II - Greg Nelson, Amy Goedert, Larry Baker, and Shawn Hoatson; chemistry - Stasi Margritz and Tania Moore; physical science - Tami Thompson; earth science - Justin Hoatson, Tara Moore, and Heather Thompson; independent study calculus - Tania Moore; senior math - Michelle Paulman; Algebra II - Stasi Margritz; Algebra I - Tami Thompson; grade 8 math - Justin Hoatson, Tara Moore, and Heather Thompson; grade 8 American History - Heather Thompson; and American Government - Tania Moore. Tania Moore won second in American Government at the McCook Inter-High Contest. Medalists at the Mid Plains Inter-High Contest were Tania Moore (third-psychology and second-physical science) and Michelle Paulman (first-math). Clockwise from center: Mr. Fastenau lectures to his Government 12 class about county government. Chad Morgan disects a fetal pig in Advanced Biology.

The teacher never says anything whenever I walk in late. Mike Jenson. Advanced Biology, be- cause we disected dead animals and made Mrs. Wallace feel very uncom- fortable. -Michelle Paul- man 63 Back to the Basics While learning about new technological advancements is important, so are classes that teach students more basic skills, such as shop, home economics, art, physical education, and business. These classes give students a break from the facts and formulas and give them a chance to be creative and learn something more practical. Students can use technology from other classes to expand upon these basic ideas. Examples of this are new tools for shop classes, computers instead of typewriters, and new ways to create artwork. The members of the 98% Club in accounting were Stasi Margritz and Jason Main. Clockwise: Deone Forden and Mr. Soderholm create props for the musical. Darrell Douglas and Mr. Thiele fix up a golf cart in shop. Dena Troxel jumps for the ball in physical education. Teresa Richards is working on a letter for Typing I. Kelli Rickett sews up a costume for the musical in home economics. 64 Senior Writeups Favorite Teacher They are all cool, but if I would have to pick one it would be Mr. Zulauf. He is a cool dude who is easy to get along with, and no matter what he’d give that little extra time to help each student. -Jeff Manary Mr. Zulauf and Bill Fulcher, the coolest teach- ers a guy could ask for. -Matt Dancer Mr. Fulcher. He cuts through the B.S. and helps you out. -Jeff Hoatson Mr. Soderholm, because I could always talk to him and trust him with what I said. -Toni Hottovy Mrs. Wallace, because she makes Espanol class interesting. She’s fun to talk to and it seems like her smile would always brigh- ten my day up. -Chris Munoz AH of my teachers. They all pushed me to do the best and to be the best I can be. They were always there when I needed help. -Rogina Ridenour Mrs. Arnold, she taught me the value of sharing my feelings, developing a close friendship, and accepting who I am (among about 4 million other reasons). I have several other favorite teachers for a lot of reasons, but they aren’t giving me room to write a book, so I hope they know who they are and how much I appreciate them. -Tania Moore 65 NHS Goes on 'Steak-Out' New Members Inducted Into Society The 1987-88 National Honor Society members staked-out one senior and six juniors as new members.
