1979 THUNDERBIRD Annual Staff Lynae Barry Casey Hengen Jim Martens Kim Matson Beth Oden Beth Snyder Kathy Swartz Chuck Tillman Advisor: Wahoo High School Doug Watts Wahoo, Nebraska I Still Crazy After All These Years We’ve made many friends along the way And had many laughs, Everyone has certain memories. Most of us have been together since grade school Some met later on. But we’ve all grown closer And have a good time together, I guess we are . . . Still Crazy After All These Years! 3 Activities Time Consuming But Worthwhile Where did all the time go? Summer vacations seemed to fly by so fast. One day we were just starting school. Once school started organizations formed, learning techniques, plays, concerts, trips, and dances were experienced. School days were endless days of activities. We watched each other’s memories grow, and expect to be . . . Still Crazy After All These Years! 5 Annual Staff “Outstanding” in Their Field The annual staff was kept busy throughout the year due to the small number of staff members. Each member had several layouts to produce. To better the quality of the Thunderbird, certain staff members specialized in photography, dark room procedures and layout design. The staff tried to vary the settings of pictures and the people in the pictures, striving to produce original and creative layouts. Dark room procedures were taken care of by Casey Hengen, Jim Martens, and Kathy Swartz, Their duties were to develop negatives, make contact prints and make the pictures. In charge of photography were Casey Hengen and Jim Martens. Remaining members drew up and organized layouts. The theme, “Still Crazy After All These Years” was chosen when the senior staff members looked back through the years at the dumb and crazy things they had done. 1. Jim uses the enlarger to focus a picture. 2. Advisor Doug Watts helps Kim pick pictures from a contact print to be used on a layout. 3. Staff members “outstanding” in their field. 4.

Chieftain Staff Becomes a Class The school newspaper staff kept busy this year as it was assigned its own class period. The ten staff members, with the aid of advisor Doug Watts, were able to turn out a new edition of the Chieftain each month. This meant much hard work, including interviewing students, taking pictures, writing and typing stories, and laying out pages. One of the staffs writers was usually on the scene at school functions to cover the stories. News of all the sports events, school plays, and dances could always be found in the Chieftain. There was also up-to-date news on all the clubs and their activities around school. Most of the layout work was done downtown at the Wahoo Newspaper office. This provided the staff members with actual press experience, as well as some good times. On the whole, the 1978-1979 Chieftain staff had an educational, enjoyable, and successful year at WHS. 8 1.

Band mini-concert. The S.A.C. band, who go by “Flair”, entertained the W.H.S. students with popular rock and roll songs held in the Little Theater. This event was enjoyed by everyone and turned out to be very successful.

Although the Warriors ended up with a disappointing 3-6 record, that record stands as the best performance in six long years. Highlights of the season came in a 7-6 victory over arch-rival Ashland. The Warriors also had two shutouts in the 21-0 conquest over Arlington and their 6-0 victory over Gretna. Other highpoints came in having a 3-1 record on the home field. The Warriors also gained the respect of the‘opposing teams, by their competative play. The Warriors were never blown-out of a game excluding their last contest against state-rated Waverly. Capital Conference and All Area honors were awarded to seniors, Rob Miller, Dale Smith and Todd Cejka; and juniors John Ruzicka and Chuck Tillman. Rob Miller also received All-State Honorable Mention honors. 40 1. Warrior offense starts a drive. 2. Coach Tinglehoff looks on while Coach Anderson seems to mock him. 3.

Having the rally at night seemed to arouse extra spirit among the students, faculty, and others present. The cheerleaders and pep band really kept things moving and there was a short skit by some junior pep club members and a few words from the three football captains. Bill Hoppe, Rob Miller, and Chuck Tillman. “Send in the Clowns ’ was the theme chosen by the pep club for the 78-79 year and the little theater became a three-ring circus with a carousel in the center ring. In the ring to the left was a ring of fire, a monkey on a tight rope and the ringmaster himself, and in the ring to the right was a cage of circus animals and a clown. King Tom Thompson and Queen Joni Loerch reigned at the Homecoming dance in front of the colorful carousel. Music was provided by “Rock of Essence”, whom everyone seemed to be pleased with. 1.

The team also increased their field goal and free throw precentages, shooting 36% from the field and 58% from the line The cagers faced a tough schedule all season, playing several state rated teams, including battling against state champion Norris. The starting line-up varied from game to game due to the equalness of the bench. The team had 12 strong players to depend on, six of whom lettered the previous year. Junior Larry Jansen led the Warriors throughout the season. Larry ended the year with 40 steals, 49 assists, 166 total points and 148 rebounds. In addition he also received second team all-conference honors. The 78-79 team consisted of six seniors and six juniors.

Many New Records for Warriorettes The 1979 Warriorettes finished their season with a very respectable 10-6 record. Considering three losses came to state rated Ashland and Platteview this might have been one of the finest teams in the school’s history. Further illustrating the team’s talents was the breaking of ten team records. This year’s Warriorettes set the free-throw record with 51.2 per cent accuracy and also set the team assists in a season with 182. Single game records were also set, with 70 team rebounds against Valley and 93 field goal attempts vs. Blair. Many individual records were also set.

The Warriors were unbeaten in their nine duals this year, for the first time ever. The biggest dual was against Elkhorn, whose undefeated record Wahoo destroyed by beating them 36-12. The grapplers also did very well in tournament action. They won the York, W-Club, and Bergan Invitationals, and took second place at both Boys Town and Conference.

Reserve Grapplers Help Out Varsity The Reserves had a rather unstable team this year, as four of the members alternated on varsity. Todd Cejka, Kevin Christensen, Dave Prokesh, and Randy Banghart all helped out the varsity by wrestling in some varsity matches. The other six team members who received reserve letters were Dave Swanson, Steve Mika, Bryce Cejka, Russ Swanson, Larry Laudenback and Ken Delay. Kevin Christensen had the best record, with four wins and no losses. Kevin and Russ Swanson led the team in pins, with two apiece, and Dave Prokesh led in takedowns, with 15. 63 Warriorette Tracksters Few, But Talented The 1979 Girl’s Track Team was hampered by a small turn-out of athletes, but many personal bests were obtained. In addition, three school records were broken. Coach Stefanowicz felt that the new track greatly enhanced workouts, and gave the girls a chance to hone theii talents. The team’s main strengths were the sprints, relays, and the hurdles. Sheila Croghan, Lisa Triplett, Beth Snyder, and Jeanette Barry made up the 440 yard and 880 yard relay teams. In Districts, the 880 yard relay team finished a very close 6th. Beth Snyder, who ran the 80 yard hurdles, set a new school record with a time of 12.0 seconds, and garnered a third place medal at the Blair Invitational. Beth also broke the school record in the 880 yard run, with a time of 2:38.4. Senior Jeanette Barry, the leading Warriorette scorer and recipient of the Most Valuable Runner Award, set a new school record in the 440 yard dash, with a time of 63.4 seconds. She also finished third at the Conference meet and fifth at Districts in this event. Senior Kathy Swartz set the third school record, hurling the discus 85' 1 2 . 1.

There were 23 members on the team, 14 of which were letterwinners. As a team, Wahoo brought home one second place finish, three third place finishes (two of these at Conference and District track meets), two fourth place finishes, one fifth place finish, and a sixth place finish at the State meet. They were also 1-1 in dual action. Many of the Thinclads achieved personal bests this season, and five of the team members qualified for the state meet. John Ruzicka, named the Most Valuable Team Member, competed in three events at the State meet, and garnered two second place finishes in the low and high hurdles. Rob Miller, named the Most Valuable Field Event Member, competed in the discus and shot, and placed second in the shot. Other state qualifiers were Jim Miller in the 440 yard dash and Steve Monson and Ted Triplett in the two mile run. In addition, two school records were broken this year. Ted Triplett set a new record in the two mile run with a time of 10:09.7; and John Ruzicka ran the 180 yard low hurdles in 20.0 seconds flat. Overall, Coach Wright felt that “this was the best track team by far that he has ever coached. 1. Jim Miller strains for a few extra inches in the triple jump. 3. Mark Van Norman leans low to gain speed in the 120 yard high hurdles. 4. Bret, Andy, and Chris relax before their events. 5. Tom Thompson gracefully clears the high jump bar. 6.

They had two of their six duals cancelled, along with several practices. The weather just was not made for golfing this spring. The varsity squad ended their season with two wins and two losses. Elkhorn and Norris were the two teams that fell to defeat. Todd Cejka finished the season with a 44 stroke average followed by Scott Carmer with a 45.5, Jeff Braun 46, Chris Cejka 46.2, Kevin Christenson and Bryce Cejka with a 48 and Jim Martens with a 49.

Generally every classroom had a few people who could “liven up” the class, if not, the students always found a teacher to have fun with. Whether we Realized it or not, the faculty were there to help us; without them we couldn’t have pulled ourselves through. But, Watch out faculty -we are . . . Still Crazy After All These Years! Energy, Innovation Senior Trademark As freshmen we were new to high school and trying our best to “fit in” with the upperclassmen. In our sophomore year we experienced a great change as we moved to the new school. As juniors we took on the responsibility of prom with “full force” and changed many traditions. Now here we are, finally seniors and forced to make difficult decisions that will form our future. Our senior year was a very special one. It was a year to get closer to friends, a year to sort out future plans, a year to be happy, a year to be sad; but mostly it was year to enjoy. For the first time we were no longer underclassmen. It was a strange feeling to be a senior and be the next “graduating class.” Everyone enjoyed the priviledge of an extra free period. It wasn’t uncommon to see new seniors taking it easy” in the lounge, talking in the library, or just roaming around the halls. Others took diversified occupations (D.O.) and were free from afternoon classes so they could get working experience. Future plans took various forms. Many planned to further their education by attending numerous four-year colleges, two-year colleges, trade schools, and joining the Armed Forces. Other plans included farming and full-time employment. Most seniors were anxious to see what the future held for them. The senior class kept busy all year with activities such as sporting events, different clubs, and, of course, homework can’t be forgotten. The traditional “Senior Skip Day” was enjoyed by everyone. Destinations included Colorado and a concert, Minden and Pioneer Village, or just taking off with a few friends to enjoy the day. “He who has knowledge has hope and he who has hope has everything” was chosed as the class motto. This motto was significant since our class received numerous scholarships. The class was very competitive and the grade point averages were very high. We were a class that like to have fun, be with friends, and make the best out of everyday situations. Changing, rearranging, deciding, confiding, that’s what the senior class of ’79 will be remembered for.

Graduation Recognizes Academic Prowess Twenty-three scholarships, including four National Merit Scholarships, were awarded to members of the graduating class of 1979 Sunday, May 20th at the high school gymnasium. 72 seniors graduated on this pleasant, warm day that found the gym’s air conditioning unfortunately out of order. Eight seniors had graduated earlier in mid-term exercises. The program began with “Pomp and Circumstance”, played by the Wahoo band. The invocation and address were delivered by the Reverend Jim Seibel, Pastor of the Calvary Baptist church. Pastor Seibel’s message to the graduating seniors concerned four lessons from scriptures about the good and the poor employee. Honor awards were presented by Principal Ron Hulse, and scholarships by Counselor Jim Carlson. Both presenters commented on the academic excellence of the class, as evidenced by its 23 scholarships. The presentation of diplomas was by Board of Education members Jane Johnson and Mary Ann Lattimer. The traditional flower gift was given by class sponsor Burl Graff. After the awards were given and the diplomas accepted, the seniors formed a congratulating line outside in the beautiful sunshine, the end of a perfect day, the beginning of a new life. 84 Exciting Year For Juniors This years junior class was a class full of many different personalities. Once these personalities were all mixed together, the results were exciting. Most of the year the juniors were kept busy because of fund raising activities for prom. The juniors had bake sales, sold Warrior penants and sold magazines, tapes, and records. All these fund raising activities were focus for the Junior-Senior Prom. This years prom theme was “Jungle Love.” Another activity many juniors took part in was the annual County Government Day. In between all these extra activities, many juniors excelled in athletic, music, and drama activities. Representing the juniors on student council were Diane Bonow, Meg Johnson, and Mark Divis. This year’s junior class officers were president - Amy Speichinger, vice-president - Larry Jansen, treasurer - Joan Trutna, and secretary - Todd Carmer. K. Barsell M. Braun A. Blankenbeckler K.

Trutna Usual Happenings Become Special Times The Sophomores did the things that every class does as Sophomores, but they were important to them for some very special reasons. Being in their second year of high school, the class of 81 had the complete feeling of belonging without the remarks every class gets as freshmen. A special event of the year was the ordering of their class rings and then of course, there was the election of prom servers. The main activity of the Sophomores was earning money by selling popporn, M M’s, and candy bars so they could have a good start at being able to sponsor the prom as Juniors. I). Arney R. Banghart M.

Stuart 96 97 Administration Tries New Programs The 78-79 school year was one of experimentation and trying new ideas for the Administration and Board. Many programs, such as courses for the gifted, Alcohol Awareness Workshops for the faculty and entering into a Writing Lab for students were innovated this year. One of the biggest and most successful projects completed was the new hard surface track located south of the school. New iumping pits, hurdles and a chain link fence were included with the new track. Yet to be completed are seating areas and facilites for the use of a P.A. system to call runners. Much of the administration’s time was spent on the problems of inflation and student enrollment. Smaller classes meant that some teacher duties had to be combined, while in some cases, leaving teacher positions were not filled. 1. Board Member Mary Ann Lattimer hands Beth Oden her diploma. 2.
