THE GRADUATING? CLASS OF 81 I ‘RAINBOW CONNECTIONS’ School life resembles a rainbow 10 us, especially in the beginning. Though its exciting opportunities beckon, it towers so high above that we are un- certain we can meet its challenge. Yet deep down, all of us know that if our lives are ever to be full and happy, we must search for our rainbow con- nection through long years of school. Kermit the Frog encourages us not to give up our quest in his song, “The Rainbow Connection.” He warns there are those who say that ‘rainbows are only illusions’ and have no treasures stored at the end. Still Kermit prom- ises, ‘Someday we'll find it, the rain- bow' connection: the lovers, the drea- mers and me.’ So from now on, every time we see a rainbow, all these memo- ries will flash through our minds-for- ever a part of the connection: As the colors of the rainbow blend. The memories of our friends will never end.

Remember the days when every teacher decided to give a quiz in every class you had or when you thought the test was tomorrow when really it was today? There were the days to remem- ber, but what about the years? Junior High-when playing chess was the only fun the upperclassmen would allow' ... Freshmen-the short car rides the sen- iors gave them ... Sophomores—the faces they made to get attention ... Ju- niors—thinking about that special prom night ... Seniors—trying to show the underclassmen who rules the school. We wonder, where have all the years gone? At the St. Paul football game. Cindy VanMeter, Jacque Apfel. and Shawna Hayden do the Bunny Hop. GRADUATES Since television plays such an impor- tant part in the lives of the 1981 Wood River grads, we believed it only appro- priate that T.V. shows serve as the themes for the senior candid pictures. 1981 was the year for shows about PEOPLE.

As juniors, the 1981 gradu- ates joined together to create one of the most elaborate proms ever held at WRR. ‘Stairway to Heaven.” Even carrying six solids doesn’t force Kathy Mof- fett and Doug Rathman to lug books home after a long day. With an undefeated football season, these Seniors are not overly excited about another Eagle victory. Party time, but the type our parents approve of.

UNDERCLASSMEN Each of us is an individual. Each has different classes, different family tradi- tions and a different future in mind. Challenges are met in each student’s unique way. Still everyone is striving for his own “pot of gold” at the end of the rainbow. Yet no matter what the future brings, the “Rainbow Con- nection” will always bring back memo- ries of our shared past. Ambitious salesmen exceed $2,000 goal “What to buy a magazine? Please .. . oh,please, won’t you buy a magazine?” was the famous phrase used by desper- ate juniors as they tried to raise the necessary money for prom. Prizes were awarded to the top five percent of the salesmen. After all of their begging, selling, and persuading, the junior class raised $2,100 and reached their goal of 485 subscriptions. This year’s junior class officers in- cluded: Jeff Dicrcks, president; Doug Schultz, vice-president; Marvin Wiese, secretary; Todd Wetovick, treasurer and Lori Smidt, Student Council rep- resentative. Junior Class lop salesmen were: Nancy Heinrich, winning a giant size poster; Denise Lilly, receiv- ing a clock radio; Dale Rice, holding his new dart board; Betty Ciemnoczolowski, earning a tote bag.

They acquired over $450 from the chili feed they held on January 30, 1981. To represent them in the 1980-81 school year, they elected: Kyle Koepp, president: David Luth, vice-president: Tricia Hargens. secretary: Leann Packer, treasurer: and Michelle Leon- ard, Student Council representative.

Many will never know what it was like to take a pop break with friends, play foosball. and be involved in a hot game of ten- point pitch, due to the seven per cent tax lid. Officers for the freshmen class were: Chelle Dubbs, president; Ann Kim- minau, vice president; Holly Rathman, secretary; Susan Luehr, treasurer; and Dayna Rathman, Student Council re- presentative.

F R 25 7 will survive!’ On Monday mornings some of the eighth graders may feel like their class motto is the hit song “I Will Survive.” Nothing ever seems to go right. They face tough courses and new challenges throughout the year. Yet however hard the classes may be. almost one-half of them always makes the honor roll; that is really something to be proud of!

It didn't take them long to learn what really was expected of each of them. Challenging subjects such as English and social studies kept them home studying nights. There were times, however, that they did get to relax and have fun. There were activities that included volleyball, wrestling, basketball, and a junior high musical to make the days go by quickly. They will find that all of this work will pay off in the long run. Seventh and eighth graders staged a musical en- titled “Christmas on Angel Street for the ele- mentary school on December 3.

Superintendent Sich highly commended the board's work by saying. “The decade of the 80's brought with it a mood in this country which dictates reduced spending in na- tional. stale, and local government. Lo- cally. the seven percent spending lid was felt the first time this term. Cuts included: service personnel reductions, organizational and program cutbacks, as well as charging tuition for drivers' education.” WRR School Board: FRONT Don Miller. Loyd Luehr. Raymond Engel.

They are there to help us through the hard times and to praise us for our ac- complishments. We will always have the memories of these special people through the “Rainbow Connections.” FINE ARTS A student needs a keen eye and a steady hand Webster's Dictionary defines “fine arts as things involving pre- cise accuracy. That explains why English, library skills, French, speech, music, and art fit in this cat- egory. To be proficient in any of these courses requires a keen eye and a steady hand, and considerable practice. The teachers that guide us through these subjects need an abundant amount of patience and skill to instruct us.

NATURAL AND APPLIED SCIENCES Enrollment increases in college preparatory courses The Natural and Applied Sciences department consists of math and science courses that are offered at WRR. The junior high classes are: Earth Science, Explor- ing Living Things. Math 7 and 8. The senior high offers a wide diver- sity of classes in this area. Math classes include: Algebra 1. Geome- try. Algebra II. Math IV. and Vocational Math. Science offerings are: Physical Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Advanced Biology. Mr. Insite feeds his Biology friend for the last time before he leaves WRR Mrs Kislier chuckles over the remark of an eager seventh grader. Mr. Jerry Hawley. Physical Sciences, Chemistry, Physics. Mr. Terrance Leslie. Biology. Advanced Biology Mr. Stanley Turner. Jr. High Sciences 34 This year WRR was full of am- bitious students who enrolled in some of the more challenging college prepa- ratory courses. The Chemistry and Al- gebra II classrooms were full with two sections scheduled instead of just one. The Math IV class with 14 students was also larger than previous years. Physics enrollment expanded to 12 stu- dents. much larger than normal. With the world’s advanced tech- nology, the need for specialists in the math and science fields is affecting the educational decisions of our student body. Students appear to be preparing to enter careers in the areas of com- puter science and data processing. Mr. Hawley assists the freshmen with their ex- periment and explains the proper uses of the lab equipment to George Gallardo and Chris Call- ahan as they wait for the results.

Seniors spent several days viewing and analyzing the presidential debate. Sev- enth graders participated in their own mock presidential debate. In the physical education depart- ment. Coach Jackson and Mrs. Isaac kept their students active and in good health with a variety of activities. They learned the fundamentals of volleyball, football, wrestling, and basketball. Par- ticipation in dancing, softball, and tumbling was also encouraged. Seniors in political science class concentrate on their test.

Whether it he business, home economics, vocational agriculture, or industrial arts, everyone wants to do the best they can. Trade skills are im- portant to succeed in many profes- sions. Even though the job market is tightening, this department helps give WRR students the extra skills for cap- turing that all-important first job. This year, two new teachers have joined Wood River Rural to offer such classes to improve our chances of success. They are Mrs. Hendricks, home eco- nomics, and Mrs. Olson, business. Mrs Hendricks and her Advanced Foods class sample some of their cooking. Mrs Spellman helps Laurie Lee thread her sew- ing machine. Mr. Morey gives Kirt Lambrecht individual atten- tion on his wood-working project. Darrel Harders. Julian Salinas. Henry Husen. and Jim Riley work on a car in Auto Mechanics. Mrs. Olson and the Office Practice class learn how to use the telephone correctly. Mr. Kouhek and secretarial assistant. Kris Kucera. discuss what she will have to do that day. Ixx Kouhek.

Some new things included stuffed hot dogs and getting two tacos for the price of one. The janitors kept busy in trying to keep the school neat for the stu- dents' pleasure. Serving meals is an imponant task for Mrs. Ma- zour, Mrs. Harders, and Mrs. Schmidt. Preparing salads for the noon meal are Mrs. Harders. Mrs. Schmidt. Mrs. Mazour, and Mrs. Barg. 40 STUDENT LIFE The song “Rainbow Connections” declares, “What’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing, and what do we think we might see?” At WRR we be- come starry-eyed with the thrill of a close homecoming game, the excite- ment of the musical’s opening night, the splendor of a beautifully staged prom, the anticipation of a much- sought-after award at Honors Night and the final joy of commencement. ► • � • « • ? • % That search for our rainbow con- nection started way back in kindergar- ten as we learned “one. two. buckle my shoe. Grade school was the time the boys pulled the girls’ hair to make them cry and caught frogs to deposit in the teacher’s desk. When we were pro- moted to sixth grade we became “king of the mountain and thoroughly en- joyed bossing all the younger ones around. Somehow in seventh grade every- thing was reversed as we began again at the “bottom of the totem pole. With new faces, new teachers, new books, we probably all had worried looks. We scurried through the halls to just barely make it to our classes on time. Yet when noon arrived, we al- ways seemed to end up at the front of the lunch line. 42 0000 • 0 0 0000. 0 0 0 0 0 0 • 0 0 0 • 0 0 • 0 0 • � • • 0 0 0 0 0 0 • • 0 0 0 0000 0 • • 0 • •• • 0 0 0 0 • 0 • • 0 • 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 • • • • 0 0 0 0000 00 0 0 Those early days of anguish proved worthwhile as we became up- perclassmen and really began to rule Wood River Rural. Many days were spent preparing for the Junior-Senior Prom but all our hard work paid off in that one short night of fun and danc- ing. There were many other special times to remember as we searched for our rainbow connection: studying hours for the big test, sitting in the crowd cheering on our fellow class- mates or even playing to bring another victory to WRR. rehearsing for the school musical, spending a few quiet moments with someone special at the lockers, relaxing to the music at a school dance, or staying after to ask a teacher’s advice and discovering a friend. The Thrill of Victory This Homecoming provided fun and excitement for all. The cheerleaders sponsored the traditional spirit week beginning Wednesday with “Best Over-all Day.” Thursday was “Dress Up Day” in honor of Mr. Watters. Friday, of course, was “Purple Day.” On Friday the students and faculty gathered at the bank corner for the an- nual all-town pep rally. David Schaf- fer. Dorothy Partridge. Kyle Webster, and Gerry Krolikowski were among those who spoke that afternoon. Part of the Homecoming royalty and band mem- bers look on at the pep rally.

The Wildcats were tough competition but we pulled through with a victory of 17-14. The band performed a halftime show fo- cusing on the motion picture “The Wizard of Oz.” Another event of the evening was the two free passes given away by the Booster Club. Later came the most-waited-for event of all. the dance sponsored by the senior class. The theme for this year’s dance was “Looking for Love.” Former King Sieve English crowns the 1980 queen Jan Stut man at the game. The Eagle marching hand and the cheer- leaders lead the student body to the all-town pep rally held on the bank corner on main street. Mr Hachle accepts one of the team cakes provided for the football team by the cheer- leaders from Patty Zavala at the pep rally. 45 GT Disco provided music for the student body as they let themselves go at the dance sponsored by the senior class. To express his love for Eliza. Freddy sings. “On ihe Street Where You Live.” On March 27 and 28 a cast of 31 gave a dazzling performance of My Fair Lady. a modern adaptation of Bernard Shaw’s famous play. “Pygmalion.” The play involved Henry Higgins, a professor of English speech, and Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl whom Higgins transformed into a English lady, mainly by leaching her to speak culti- vated English. Yet by lifting Eliza above her own class. Higgins made her unfit for life as a poor girl as well as a duchess. The play ends happily though, with Joni Ku- cera as the plucky Eliza winning over the stubborn bachelor linguist. Scott Sahling. Thinking how wonderful it would be to be rich, the cockneys relax for the day. Col. Pickering tries to explain to Mrs. Higgins why her son is bringing a common flower girl to Ascot. The Ascot crowd is astonished when Eliza shouts. “Move your bloomin' ...” Charm and wit of ‘My Fair Lady’ “Gel Me to the Church on Time,” “With a Little Bit of Luck.” and “I Could Have Danced All Night” were among the memorable songs high- lighted in the musical production, “My Fair Lady.” Members of the cast practiced for two and one-half months to present the play to the school. The cast consisted of Scott Sahling, Professor Henry Hig- gins; Joni Kucera. Eliza Doolittle; Matt Leeper. Col. Hugh Pickering; Tim Thienel. Alfred P. Doolittle and Zoltan Karpathy; Darren Dubbs, Freddy Eynesford-Hill; Eva Kim- minau. Mrs. Pearce; Michelle Leonard. Mrs. Higgins; and Betty Ciemnoczo- lowski. Mrs. Eynesford-Hill. Servants, cockneys.

As students entered the gym for the 1981 prom, they really felt as though they were walking “Into the Night with all the glittering stars and moon-shapes against the background of midnight blue. The juniors’ long-awaited day out of school to decorate was used to its greatest advantage as they adorned the gym in pink. blue, and white to highlight the re- volving tinsel and crepe paper hangings. Potpourri, meaning ”all kinds”, provided the music for the dance. ROYALTY: Mark Hughes. Gerry Krolikowski, Tim Wetovick. King Craig Boshart. Queen Val Lam- brecht. Teresa Barg, Kris Kuccra.

A crisp clear night with a cool breeze blowing provided the setting for what seemed to be a typical homecoming football game between Wood River and St. Paul which has always been an action-packed game. As the night progressed, one could tell that this game would be no different.

As the game got underway, an eerie fog set in and was taken as a prophecy. And the prophecy came true. The Wildcats tied the score at 14 points late in the third quarter. With less than two minutes left in the game, the Eagles began to advance the ball toward the all-important goal line. They managed to use up every ounce of strength they could muster. The Eagles could only move the ball to the St. Paul 28-yard line. With thirteen seconds left in the game. Tim Riley, field goal kicker for the Eagles, got the call to kick the pos- sible winning field goal. The tension mounted as Quarterback Mike Mazour gave the signals and Center Kyle Web- ster snapped the ball. The crowd watched in amazement as Riley’s 38- yard field goal attempt went through the middle of the uprights. The Eagles were the victors of another close game and one homecoming game that no- body will ever forget. The freshman and reserves each played two games. They closed out their season with a combined 3-0-1 record. As the season ended, each player and coach deserved to be com- mended for a fine performance.

A win would mean a trip to the state tournament and a loss would mean the end of another long and grueling sea- son. The Eagles had reached the district finals by beating Adams Central for the fourth time and also a tough Lex- ington squad. Their opponent in the fi- nals turned out to be the highly-re- garded Minden Whippettes. The Whippettes were the pre-season favor- ite in many papers and were ranked among the top five teams in Class B. As the Eagles took the court one could tell that this game would be no different than the one the previous night. The Eagles came out in the first half and showed that they could play with the best. The Eagles led at the in- termission 18 to 16. The second half belonged to Minden as they went on to win in the district finals 42 to 33.

Yet the advisor, Mrs. Johnson, along with the editor, Sheri Bond, and the assistant editors. Joyce Heinrich and Dian Bilslend, met determined to produce an outstanding book. Together they assigned section editors and attended a yearbook clinic- in Hastings. Many long nights were spent at meetings deciding on new layout procedures. Imitating some of the de- sign elements in magazines, the staff members experimented with rule lines, margins and special decorative head- lines. Working on copy are: Dianna Whitten. Mrs. Johnson. LouAnn Dubbs. and Robyn Bilslend. Being the editor means long hard hours of check- ing pages. Final layouts must be perfect for the company. LouAnn Dubbs and Pam Isaac try to get every- thing just right. Preparing ads takes time to lay everything out. Sheri Bond. Dian Bilslend. and Shelly Hayden decide which pictures will be used. 92 Yearbook Staff members include: FRONT Joyce Heinrich, assistant editor: Sheri Bond, editor: and Dian Bilslcnd. assistant editor.

After deciding to increase the Eagle's length eight pages over last year and the color section from the usual four to eight pages, the staff energetically sought the necessary fi- nancial support by peddling ads in Alda. Grand Island, and Wood River. When the staff selected an attractive but expensive silver-metallic cover, nights in the concession stand helped offset the additional cost. Our hard work finally paid off with the produc- tion of a yearbook we can be proud of.

The goal was to attend the Worlds of Fun Festival of Bands in Kansas City. Missouri. Due to cuts in the school budget and the seven per- cent lid bill, the members had to earn the money themselves. Candle sales provided most of the money needed. Through other money-making projects such as bake sales, a night showing of the movie “Psycho,” and donations from the community, the band hoped to meet their goals by May 2.
