[lWiLlLLlL: Seniors! Seniors! I can't believe it! It's about time! In just 179 more days, we re outta here! Hearing the voices of classmates yelling in the halls on the first day of school doesn't usually seem odd. But opening your locker door on the first day of school can be a strange experience. The first thing you see is an open, empty space, just waiting to be filled. Throughout the years, the 1986-87 seniors have filled their personal lockers with a variety of things. Except for a few notorious' organized students, the seniors have made sure their lockers were total disasters! Old Business Math papers, posters, coffee cups, and jackets are lost and forgotten each year among the immediately more important things that occupy each student s personal - A space. As the year draws to a close, the seniors of 87 will be cleaning, emptying, and restoring their lockers to their original conditions. But this year, they will not be removing ordinary junk; instead, they will be removing memories. The 1986-87 Tomohawk wants you to store those memories! Instead of quietly reminiscing, we want to talk about anything and everything that entered your personal locker during the year. This yearbook will discuss, debate, and just plain babble about the THS students and everything they experienced in 1986-87. Every time you open this book, sit back and unlock the memories stored in your high school locker — then talk about them! The senior class honors Russ Waring lor having the Mostest and the Messiest locker!

It not only was interesting to watch the making of the film, but many residents, including students here at THS, got a chance to earn extra money and experience. T-shirts, sweatshirts, buttons, bumper stickers, pencils, and hats were all sold as remembrances of the movie. On January 5, a premier showing of Amerika was held in Lincoln for the people of Tecumseh and Johnson County. The time finally came when each family could sit down and watch the mini-series, which was shown two hours each night for seven days. The film featured such stars as Robert Urich and Kris Kristofferson. Now things are back to normal; the flag is once again turned right side up and business around the square is as calm as it was before. On March 6, Pioneer Video from Auburn opened its doors to a new video rental store. Niders Thriftway, formerly Warneke Supermarket, Jack-n-Jill, and Family Store, also opened its doors to consumers. Liberace's tragic secret was publicized, saying that the 67-year-old, well-known entertainer had been stricken with the AIDS virus and in early February died. President Reagan was looked down upon by many U S. citizens because he supposedly approved of sending arms to Iran and then claimed that he did not remember when the negotiation had taken place. The marriage of Prince Andrew and Sara Ferguson took place while Nebraskans had a hard time deciding whether or not to buckle up. At first, it became a law that you must wear your seatbelts; and on March 18, just a few months after be-
