Athletic Banquet Honored I. Efforts Of 1975-76 Tecumseh honored their interscholastic athletes with a potluck dinner on Monday, May 3. Mark Ah-mann, sports director at channel 10 in Lincoln, told the athletes in an address that winning was not all, but trying was. With Terry Rieke as master of ceremonies, the coaches gave their awards for outstanding performers in each sport—Tammie Lantz, volleyball and girls' basketball; Jeff Brommer, football; Jim Steinauer, cross country; John Finke, basketball; Joe Horn, wrestling; Dave DeFreece, boys' track; Julie Far is, girls' track; and Steve Hutt, golf. 22

 With the hard work of the juniors, led by Lori Scott, Prom 1976 was a success. The decorations at the banquet were kept to a minimum as most of the money was spent on the food. The menu consisted of: salad bar, prime rib, baked potato, green beans, rolls, fresh fruit, cookies, and drink. The meal was served by sophomore waiters and waitresses who were: Mike Weakland, Alan Horn, Randy Miller, Chris Hutt, Ron Lade, Kim Seeba, Amy Boline, Rhonda Miesbach, Gail Ramsey, and Kelly Bucholz. Those students and faculty who missed the banquet missed a good meal. Spring colors were used in decorating the elementary gym to go with the theme, Summer Breeze. In one corner of the gym was a fountain and in the other was a swing which several couples used throughout the evening. 21
