Dear Students,

You are a piece

1 J to the puzzle of life. You may never know how you have fli, but others will fill their lives with pieces of you. Thank youfor the pieces that are a part of our lives forever.

'Bryan-it's

more tlian just a Community!

The Bryan Community is more than just getting an education. Bryan is a school of non-violence. Do people really know that this non-violence communication system works? No matter what (yeah), there will always be violence somewhere and somehow, but we at Bryan make an extra effort to make sure violence doesn't occur here at Bryan. With the lack of violence I see here at Bryan, I also notice student's achieving a lot more. We at Bryan are more than just a community,we're a caring community. Teachers care about students and the feelings are mutual for most everybody. Most people are here to learn and those who are get the undivided attention they deserve. Everyone works as a whole. In my opinion Bryan gives students an opportunity to see the world through their own eyes and makes them feel like they're getting prepared for the world of being on their own after they graduate. Therefore, with this kind of system being available, these young people have a better

opportunity to better themselves for the future.

School meetings are held every Friday and these meetings give students a chance to say something (if they have something to say) about Bryan or anything involving Bryan. Bryan gives students the opportunity to speak their mind freely and it makes us (the students) feel comfortable and a lot of us feel more relaxed. We don't get all tense as we normally would if we didn't have good teachers like we do here at 'Bryan. The teachers here seem to understand more and they never give up on any student. They seem to understand the problems we go through and we (the students) really respect that. Bryan is a place where we (Bryan ) e ready t a ccept any student who is • g to learn and be involved. We care and caring is a key to getting where you want in life whether it's acceptable or unacceptable.

My name is Bah-b Kramer and I have never liked school until I came to Bryan. Nobody is making me come to school. I could sit at home all day and not even worry about school but I choosetocomebecauseBryan makes me feel as if I'm a good studentwho'swanted. Iknow that education is a key to success and that's where I'm headed. Success. Idon'tknow

how Greg ( the principal) can keep such a non-violent community going but he does it and I have great respect for him. Ihaverespectforall the teachers here at Bryan because they know what we as students go through and they all help out when a student needs them most. They make it known that they are curious and interested in how we (the students) feel about certain topics we discuss. I respect the teachers here at Bryan not only for who they are but what they represent as well.

A special thanks to all the teachers here at Bryan.

Bah-b Kramer works hard on her gingerbread house for Meals on Wheels that Gary and Alysa's class took to Tabitha.

Pat and Jake Meza smile nicely for a kodak moment.

Peggy Zahourek and Scott Anderson have a wonderful conversation at the Sr. citizen center on a field trip in Gary and Alysa's class.

REMEMBER WHEN ...

Jason Saddler spent an entire day in the classroom?

Ernie Chambers told us where to wash?

Casey Jones and Laurah Skinner weren't friends for two days?

Phyllis wore a conservative blue suit?

anyone on the Yearbook Staff could find their disk!

Gary thought he was tough but then next thing you know, his lip's been busted and he got beat 216 by Bah-B?

Amanda Johnston actually stopped talking?

Josh Coy missed a day?

Taryn was sick and Nicky still came to school?

Barb wore an ordinary watch?

the table collapsed with Jim at the all school meeting and he was so embarrassed that he had to leave the room.

Angie Bellew tormented Faye with FFFaaayyeeee?

Susie used her alarm clock as an excuse for not coming to school?

Carol & Mary died over Christmas (the Carol & Mary with fins)?

the Yearbook students paid Greg a dollar to have his picture retaken?

the Huskers won the orange bowl--be sure to remind Matt!

Walter McDowell dribbled the ba ketball--neither do we!

Cheryl was a "lovely lotus blossom" and Gary was her "big strong man"?

Crayons2 Computers

was a program started this year by Barb Peterson and Penni Cummings. Without the help of Bruce Bailey and Design Associates Crayons to Computers could not have been possible. The purpose of Crayons to Computers is to get business's and private donors to donate anything from Crayons to Computers. Then in tum the program redistributes the items to local teachers and non profit organizations. Many things were done by Bryan students to make this program a success. Things like writing and recording radio SJX)ts, talking to arm organizations

t ( 22 -.······aryan Community t.,)'(_.,;:;:::

and, even talking to the school lnlrd. Bryan students were the second in histoiy to do this. The Warehouse waslocated in the Bonanza

building on the state fair grounds. The Business grand opening was held on March 31. The pUIJX)Se of this grand opening was so business's could come

and look at the warehouse and donate an item to our cause. A sneak peek was held on April 2 for high risk schools and organizations. The official grand opening -was April 3. To date Crayons to Computers has generated over $34,000 in donations. Crayons to Computers, although only in operation for a short time, has also won an award for being an outstanding business. Before I close I would like to thank everyone involved with this program and I hope we can do it again next year.

Pat and Charm have done many interesting projects this year. One of the projects was called Habitiat for Humanity. This project was through the Home Builders Association. The students did roofing, siding, and poured the driveway. This was a nine week project and students received new construction credit. Then five utility sheds were built. In this specific project students learned how to read blue prints, read measurements, and use a variety of construction tools. Two of the sheds were sold to elementary schools. Next the students got a chance to be a teacher instead of a student. In this elementary project, students create science experiments and go to an elementary school to teach their projects to fourth graders. Clinton, Elliot, and Sheridan were the elementary schools they visited. · Students learned science principles as well as how to be a teacher. The students taught the fourth graders science principles in applied (hands-on) ways. It was a great experience for both teachers and students. Industrial Technology has a variety of {unfilled activities. by

Bryan is

I met two women, Henrietta Clouse, 84, and Vera Sautter, 69. They both lived through World War II. That was the most remembered event in their life. It was very emotional for them. They were raised in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Vera graduated in 1943. They both remember roller coasters, skating, and swimming. They had good lives so they took good care of themselves.

Henrietta didn't work and Vera worked at a shop called Smith's Dairy.

Henrietta's happiest times were after her divorce, and Vera's were during her marriage. Their struggles were World War II and when their parents died. Vera felt a discrimination against her when she got gray hair. Their words of advice were; "Respect yourself and your elders, don't marry in haste, love your youth and enjoy it."

involved with more

The person I interviewed at the senior center was Leta Zentz who is 81 years old. She was raised in Cawcker City, Kansas. Although she did get to graduate high school she didn't get to go to college.

When she was young she lived on a farm and loved to dance, but she also had to work and take care of her step-father. She thinks the most memorable time in history was when they freed the slaves. She said she has never felt discriminated in her life. Leta also thinks that crime isn't as bad as it use to be. Leta moved to Lincoln in 1945. She thinks it has changed a lot but it's nicer now.

When she was young she never learned how to drive a car. She has always wanted to learn how to play the piano. I think this lady was a very nice person. By talking to her she made me think of all the possibilities of how life can go.

than just our own community

I felt that they had a lot of knowledge about the past and they also have a great deal of knowledge about everything. The man that I interviewed said that our generation is pretty much the same as it was back when he was a kid, which in my eyes is the only guy that I know that thinks that we are a good generation and that we will be good leaders.

My subject was my grandfather, Leroy Nelson. He was born and raised in Chapman, Nebraska. He grew up through hard times, such as the Great Depression. He was a farm boy that finished high school through home schooling. After that he would help his dad around the farm. At the age of 19 he was drafted to serve in World War I. From what he said it was his worst memory. He was serving under the 17th regiment that was in the middle of the battling all the time. It took a toll on my grandfather. Still to this day he blames himself for his friend dying.

But his most loving memory is when he married my grandmother. His advise to me " as to do things that you belie e are right and to think about life instead of taking it for granted. Because you make life happen the way you want it to.

Another thing that really interested me is how they can be so creative. They have so many ways of making things that it's really neat. I have never seen so many people having so much fun. It was fun just to see the things that they did. I hope that someday we will be able to go back and visit them and have even more fun. Thanks to all the men and women at the Senior Center.

"Moving On"

When we start in kindergarten, it seems like we were born yesterday. The thing is, the friends we make in kindergarten we will have all through elementary school but when the 6th grade orientation comes, we will lose ourfriends. We must moue on.

Starting 7th grade is a whole new experience. Making new friends and still have oldfriends around. When 9th grades comes, friends will go. Youjust keep moving on towards the next grade. When 9th grade orientation comes, youjust have to move on towards next year.

High School is finally here with a new grade and newfriends. More dates and more broken hearts but youjust keep on mouing on. Driving cars and hanging with friends. Cool classes and cool teachers. But when your senior graduation comes then you're finally done. You then realize that you just keep on moving on.

This yearbook is a combined effort of hard work and long hours put in by the Yearbook Staff. It was published on Macintosh computers with the use of Aldus Student Pagemaker Version 4.2. All submissions were written/drawn by students. The Yearbook Staff would like to thank Lana and Harold from Lancaster House Printing and Design for all the help and expertise they have brought to Bryan. Lana and Harold came weekly to help the Yearbook Staff make important decisions about the yearbook. Thanks Lana and Harold!! We would also like to thank Matt Wagner for the help he gave students with the photography. The Yearbook Staff consists of 16 great students and 1 great teacher.
