After working many long hours after graduation, though, the annual finally was completed. It is hoped that the people who read this annual will have as many fond mem- ories and laughs as the staff did as they were completing it. Members of this year's staff were as follows: Editors: Ron C. and Cindy W. Business Managers: Connie P. and Nancy K. Copy Editor: Bob M. Senior Editor: Patrice E. Class Sections: Carlene L. and Judy D. Photography: Robert C. and Jill W. Sports Editors: Gail B. and Tom C. Others who helped included Kathy W., Cheryl M., Shar- lene T., Gene L., and David A. A special thanks goes to Mr. Knaak; for without his help, we would still be in the old Spanish room drawing and typing away. Thank you for all your patience and help. 4 Senior Officers President........Gene Lamprecht V.-President . . . .

Reverend Olin Belt addressed the members of the gradua- ting class of 1976. Commencement Exercises for the Wausa High School Seniors were held on Wednesday evening, May 12. There were thirty-seven Seniors in the Class of '76. The Commencement address was given by Dr. William Anderson, Superintendent of the Sioux City Public Schools. Valedictorian of the class was Laddy Carlson, salutatorian was Dave Enquist. Four year honor students were Cindy Wrick, Ron Carlson, Connie Prather, Gail Barnes, Bob Mittan, Pa- trice Elsberry, Robert Carlson, Carlene Lind, Denise Munter, Kathy Wachter, and Jill Wakeley. Seniors who received scholarships and awards were: Laddy C., Dave E., Ron C., Patrice E., Judy D., Tom C., Gail B., Connie P., Kim J., Bob M., Stan W., and Cindy W. The All-Around Girl award was presented to Nancy K. and the All-Around Boy award was presented to Robert C. Class Prophecy May 12, 1996 Can it be twenty years since the class of '76 graduated from W.H.S? Well, it must be time to return to Wausa and see what the '76'ers are up to. As I cruised into town, 1 spotted what used to be the Bowling Alley, now boasting a sign saying 'Kathy's Enter- tainment Emporium.1 I was in the mood for some entertaining and 1 had an idea that 1 might find some old friends there, so 1 dropped in. Sure enough, there was Kathy W. introducing the entertainment: Frank L. and Gene L. Sit- ting at the counter were Doyle F., Dave S., and Roger C., in town to kick up their heels after a hard day's work on the farm. After leaving Kathy's, I met Dave E. and Tom C. on the steps of the bank, discussing atomic livestock feed- ing. Kyle N. drove by in his Peterbilt and gave us a friendly honk. Stepping into the bank, I saw many familiar faces. Judy D., Nancy K., and Cindy W. were behind the coun- ter, sorting checks and balancing the books. In his plush office, Ron C. was conducting a business transaction over the phone. When I stepped in to chat, he said he had Bob M. on hold. He was trying to arrange an advertising agreement with him for Paul B. 's and Stan W. 's construction company. Back on main street again, I noticed two familiar business places: Peters Hardware now run by Murray P., and Johnson's Place, Kim J.'s establishment. Although I didn't have time to stop in and see, I hoped that business was good. Having incurred a severe hang nail on my toe, I decided to go down to the doctor's office. As I limped past, I was nearly run over by Tim A., who was backing out a car of a mechanics shop. Inside the building 1 noticed Will S. and Marty M. working on Bill T.'s 40 20 tractor. Finally reaching the medical clinic, Sharlene T. caught me as 1 fainted in pain. Gail B. dragged me into an examination room where Denise M., LPN, sterilized my toe. Patrice E. with the help of Connie P. and a smJl toe nail clippers performed minor surgery. On my way out, Laddy C., who had set up a take-out prescription center, prescribed a mild pain killer. Feeling much relieved, I sprinted up to the school house on the hill and noticed the old middle section had been condemned and tom down. Ed R. and Brian B. were busy laying bricks for this and also for a new Special Ed. sec- tion, which was headed by Carlene L. 1 walked in and was greeted by Cheryl M., who is the new administrative assistant. Mary C. was the bookkeeper for the system. While I was walking down the hall, I ran into Jill W. who was visiting Robert C., the industrial arts teacher, during parent-teacher conferences about one of her sons. Leaving the building, 1 heard a plane fly over which had a sign on it reading 'John R. Commercial Airlines.' Rande R., one of the passengers, was flying off to his next assignment in the Army. 1 was glad to learn that all the members of '76 had succeeded so well in their life goals. 16 To Whom It May Concern We, the Seniors of 1976, being of questionable minds, unsound bodies, and biased opinions do hereby submit the following wills before our days come to an end in Wausa High School: Tim Ray Albrecht—I will my locker, IB, to Duane Carlson.

We also will the tornado drill rooms to anyone with claustrophobia. Lastly, we will all the extra money in our class treasury to buy food for the trained mice who work the tread mill in the heating system in hopes that they don't go on strike NEXT year! This will is done and sealed at Wausa, Nebraska, this sixth day of May, Nineteen Hundred and Seventy-Six. Witnesses: Connie Prather Bob Mittan Ron Carlson What flexibility! Look Mom no cavities!

Juniors placed first in the decorating contest, having the library hall as their place. Seniors took second, decorating the boys' locker area. Sophomores decorated the office area followed by the first landing, done by the freshmen. A pep rally psyched the boys up.

The scoreboard on page 72 reveals the crush- ing details--five conference victories, no defeats, only three touchdowns by opposing ball clubs. In addition, Coach Dittmer's squad downed Niobrara and Bloomfield in non-conference action. Losses were at the hands of tough Hart- ington Cedar Catholic and Laurel. Coach Hageman's reserves played a five game schedule and were victorious in three of their contests. Running back Curt Seagren led Viking ground gainers with 462 total yards on 98 carries. Laddy Carlson and Kim John- son both logged over 200 yards from scrimmage. At quar- terback Kim J. completed 49 passes for 738 yards and six touchdowns. Top pass receivers were Gary Skalberg, 27 receptions and 471 yards, and Roger Claussen, 27 recep- tions good for 369 yards. Dave Enquist led defensive stat- istics with most tackles; Roger C. was runnerup in that category. Wausa was well represented on this year's all- conference team, with Kim J., David E. , Gary S. and Paul Bloomquist filling spots on the offensive squad, while Roger C., Curt S. , and Brian Blair were named to the defensive unit. Norfolk and Omaha sportswriters also honored Kim, Roger and Gary for their accomplishments. Seniors were disappointed in that the Class C playoffs in November deprived them of their chance to participate in the conference playoff. 61 Gail B. and Nancy K. were selected as members of the All- Conference team. Gail B. made the first team and Nancy K. made the second. Congratulations to these girls for this noted achievement.

The team main- tained a good level of scoring throughout their schedule (as in a 75-74 overtime loss against Verdigre); they man- aged victories over such traditional rivals as Coleridge and Hartington; and in Class C District play they reached the final round before being downed by Laurel. For the basketball reserves a 42-29 win over Verdigre closed out a satisfying nine and four season. Two Viking regulars, Kim Johnson and Roger Claussen, gained all-conference recognition this season. Kim J., Roger C., Bruce F., Kevin L., Curt S., Gary S., Roger W., Meril F., Steve H., and Dan O. were basketball letter winners. 66 67 Girls Basketball This year was the first year for girls basketball in Wausa, and seventeen girls decided to give it a try.
