T welve years of dancing may seem like a lot to you, but Genenne Gibson says that it's worth it!

Genenne , who is in the ninth grade, has been taking dancing from Karen McW iIIiams since she was three, when her mother started her in it.

Approx imately four hours of dancing a week keeps Genenne busy and happy.

"Classes are fun as long as we can laugh," she commented. Toe, ballet, tap, and jazz are the forms of dance she is taking.

Th ough she likes to laugh, Genenne takes her dancing very seriously.

She hopes to teach dancing to younger children this summer in Bel lwood, Nebraska, where her family owns some land. She would also like to do something similar, except with all ages, when she grows up.

A broken a rm, greasy clothes, a fourth place trophy, and a lot of fun is what Rob Carpenter has got from his motorcycle racing.

Rob, a ninth grader has been riding motorcycles since he was about ten years old.

When Rob got his Honda 125, he decided to start racing. Last summer he was in six races. He did wel I in all of them, especially the one in Denton, Nebraska, when~ he got fourth place. He usually races in Denton, but has also raced in Snoopy Valley and other places in Iowa.

Rob's friends influenced him the most to start racing, plus he was already familiar with the racing business.

This is because he raced bikes for about three years before his motorcycle racing.

All of Rob's practicing is done in Dento n. He practices very weeken d in the summer, hauling his bike there and back each time .

Right now he is fixing up his cycle from a bad crash he has last summe r. He really likes to ride and sai d, "The main reason I do it is for fun."

"lennis is fun because it's active and no two matches are the same." This is just one of the reasons Charlie Capek enjoys tennis.

Charlie leads a busy tennis life, playing all year round. Part of the year he plays tennis with a team at the Raquet Club. The team travels and plays different Raquet Club teams. It consists of junior and senior high school students, and he is the 4th best person on the team.

During the winter, besides playing indoors every week, he has gone to a tennis camp in San Antonio, Texas, for a week.

In the summer Charlie competes in many tournaments, in and out of Nebraska. He's gone to such places as Topeka, Kansas, Des Moines, Iowa, and St. Joseph, Missour i. In his lifetime, Charlie has won a few tournaments. He won a boys singles tournament at the Raquet Club, and he won the "Get in Shape" tournament, boys singles, at Woods twice.

Charlie plans to continue playing tennis and play on the high school and college teams. He also wants to choose a career dealing with tennis. Most of all, he'd like to be a high school or a college coach, or, a teaching pro at a Raquet Club. match.

Qualifying for the Junior Olympics and competing was a life time dream for Angie Falk. Unfortunately only half came true for Angie. She qualified, but a week before the competition, she broke her arm at a gymnast ics camp.

Angie has been diving since she was six years old, but last summer was the most important to her. She had qualified in the Region Seven Diving Meet and was ready to go to the Junior Olympics held in Lincoln.

"I was proud of myself," Ang ie adm itted about her feelings on qualifying for the Junior Olympics.

When she found out that she cou Idn 't part icipate, she said, "I was really mad that I'd worked all that time and then couldn't be in it."

Angie is now div ing with the Lincoln Swim Club.

She goes three times a week from 7-9 p.m. in the win ter, and Mon day through Friday from 9- 11 a.m. all summer.

Johnny Montero-a Costa Rican American

Lynn Strange Sara Sweet

A la Jualla, Costa Rica is more than must a place to Johnny Montero.

T o h im it is his home.

Joh n n y moved to Lincoln about two years ago because his father wan ted him to learn the language.

Before he moved here, his friends told him a few stories about the Un ited States. He was told that all Americans had blonde hair and are wh ite. He said, "I thought the Americans were so rich that they threw good stuff away." He was told that machines did all of our work, too.

John ny commented that he didn't believe any of it. He said, "I wanted t o see for myself."

In Costa Rica Johnny attended school from 7:00 to 12:00 in the morn in g. He had basically the same classes that we do, but he had Span ish instead of English. The kids also wear uniforms at school. His un ifo rm was a white t-shirt with blue jeans. After school all of the boys went t o a field to play soccer, one of the popular sports in Costa Rica.

Joh nny doesn't know when he'll be going home. He said that he li kes Linco ln but he would rather be back in Costa Rica.

Natalie and her brothe r both started to play under the influence of a good fr iend, who later became their teacher. When her teach er quit giving lessons, Natalie qu it, too.

Besides being taught how to play, Natali e also is learning how to write music. She tri es to practice once a day and says, "I don't mind practicing the songs, it's the scales an d skills work that I don 't like."

Natalie sings in the Irving Express and in her church cho ir. She likes all kinds of music and said that she wo uld like to carry on with her music talents, if she can.

Natalie Hutson 's hobby is music.

B eHeve it or not, wr iting a story about Santa Claus can lead to a career. In the case of eighth grader Laurie Minchow, truth is stronger than fiction.

Lau rie has h igh hopes fo r he r writing talent, which was rewarded he r ever sin ce seventh grade.

During her seventh yea r, her ability was noticed by Miss Linda Simnitt, an English teacher at Irving.

Taking action , Miss Simnitt submitted one of Laurie's stories to a scholastic magazine called "Alive." Despite the obvious quality of her wr iting, the magazine was unable to print t he story.

Undaun ted, Laurie cont inued writing, this ti me for a magaz ine called "Bethany Guide." Her work was used, and she was pa,d for it.

Po lkas, marches, waltzes, ballets. Not rock and roll, right? Jennifer Phillips, a seventh grader , performs those types of music professionally with her accordian band.

Her band has played at such restaurants as McDonalds, Harvester, and the Pantry. They have also performed at the State Fair and numerous festivals.

Recently they went to Cedar Rap ids, Iowa where they played at a Pr ivate Music Teachers Association dinner and won first prize in the competition.

Jennifer has been playing her Lira accordian for the past two years. She learned at the Lincoin School of Music.

"It's easy once you get the hang of it. I did, but it took about a year."

Jennifer started her hobby when she found that her grandfather had brought over some accordians from Czechoslovakia , where he played.

A lthough the chances of "mak ing it" in the music business aren't very good, Matt Sweet thinks he will.

Matt has played many instruments in the past, but now he's conce ntrating on playing the bass guitar.

Playing the bass guita r in a ro ck group called Odyssey, he has participated in many conce rts, both in and out of school. Wh en one of the members of the group moved awa y, they had to break up.

Now Matt has fo rmed a new group called Sher wood, w ith ninth graders Jay Fowler and T. K . O lson , and seve nth grader Terry Olson.

Matt taught himse lf ho w to play the bass guitar by Iistening to record s and finding the right note on the gu ita r.

When asked how fa r he plans to go with his m1Jsical caree r, he answered with determination in his vo ice, "Peop le laugh, but they 'll see."

Jeff Shu ster pops a wheely while racing.

Riding motorcycles happens to be a fast, fun, and not to mention, dangerous sport. Just ask seventh-grader Jeff Schuster.

To Jeff, racing is a great challenge, but still a very enjoyable challenge. Often , he goes to Denton and races on a difficult jump and obstacle track.

He became interested when his friends began to ride motocross bikes. From there, he moved on to motorcycles. Now, he owns and races a Honda XR-75.

Jeff doesn't know if he'll race motorcycles for a living, but he looks on it as a strong possibility. When asked why, he answered simply, "because of the challenge."

SPORTS

On a more intense level than the sevent h graders, the eighth grade sports helped to build the team spirit and helpful attitude of the ninth grade sports men of next year.

There were no records kept because the idea of 8th grade sports is to prepare them for 9th grade sports and to keep the athletes in shape for their particular sport.

This year seventh graders started for the first time at junior high sports. Through the intramural and extramural sports.

Both the intramural-competition within the school, and extramural-competition with other schools, worked hard at preparing the students for sports later in their careers at Irving and Iater in high school.

Proper sp, nt and camaderie were emphasized as well as the fundamentals and advanced techniques of their particular sport.

Gymnasts Take Title All the hard work the boys Gymnast ics team did really paid off the night they earned the title " City Champs".

The team was coached by Gary Jeurink, Wayne Heubner and Fritz Akens.

Two boys placed in the all-a-around competition : Jeff Blackman, who took 2nd, and Dave Cech, who placed 5th.

Altogether the team had 3 meets before the city meet. At the first two Irving went undefeated. In the 3rd meet they placed 3rd, losing to Dawes and Culler.

The different areas they competed in were the long horse, h igh bar, and parallel bars. plac ing in the Their top 6.strongest area was the floor exercise with all of the cometents

"Team unity was very important," said Marcia White, a member of the girls gymnastics team. She might have been right too, because the statistics show this.

Girls gymnastics had a total of 4 meets this year, and seemed to do quite well in all. In their first meet the Irving team finished first against Everett and Goodrich. In their second meet, however, they finished third against Lefler and Culler and in the last triangular meet they finished second.

With a first, second and third place in the meets, the Irving girls vvere not quite sure how they would do in the city meet. But as Julie Russell puts it, "We were all so proud of our fourth place finish, we did tons better than vve had anticipated ."

65

Boy's Varsity Basketball As is true in every sport, a team can have the "thrill of victory" and "agony of defeat". This years Varsity Basketball Team got a taste of both.

At the start of their season, Irvin's team had high hopes with four straight victories over Cu ller, Lefler, Lincoln High, and Pound. Then, in their 5th and 6th games, against Goodrich and East, Irving was defeated with scores of (51-56) and (82-55). The team came back with a victory over Dawes, but \1'1as again defeated in the last game of the season against Mickle.

Although the teams number of wins and loses does not express it, six new school records have been recorded. Amazingly, one team member, John Matzke, is respon sible for them all. Matzke, throughout the entire season, seemed to have the greatest ability to score points. He set a record of 194 points this season giving him an outstanding average of 24.3 points each game.

Dur ing the year, John Matzke was interviewed several times by the Irving Newspaper staff, and has been noted saying several times, "I could not have done it with out my teammates."

Another team member, Paul Johnson, said, "We had a great season, and I had a great ti me."

So, Irving would like to congratulate the entire Varsity Basketball Team and their coach, John Larson, on a fine season.

"Hard Workouts" Key Factor for Varsity Team "This year's team improved the most of any other teams," said Mr. Vavra, the coach of the Girls Varsity Basketball team.

The practices were rouch at first, but it paid off as the team ended the season with a winning record of 4 wins and 3 losses.

The Varsity had only 7 games due to forfeits from Everett and Lincoln High, but played the reserve team.

During the season, a couple of new records were achieved by the players.

Rhonda Becker, knovvn as "Stretch", broke the record of number of rebounds in a game with 23 rebounds in the ~:i me against East. They lost that game by just one point.

Angie Nims, co-capta in, avera ged 12.2 points in a game, break ing the previous record of 9.1 points per ga me .

As the season came to an en d, Irving's Girls Varsity team finished 4th in the city . The girls had a final ban quet at Valentino's ending the season, with full stomachs.

Golf Becoming Popular Among lrvingites The Irving golf team seemed to have quite an unusual season th is year. As one teammember put it, " It was a season of weird and funny happenings."

Golf coach David Wolf expressed his feelings by saying, "The purpose of ninth grade golf is to give the players a chance to see how team competition works and to give them a chance to prepare for high school competition."

After the season began in the fall, the boys, and girls-(anothe r new dimension to the team), pract iced on Tuesdays and Thursdays at some of the junior golf courses. The team practiced for nearly one mo nth to get ready for the all school tournament, wh ich was he ld at Pioneer Park.

Lunchtime Sports add excitement Were you tired of the same old routine of lunch every day: If so, you were probably involved in noonday sports.

With the help of Mr. Heggen and second semester assistant Martin Gibbons, there were many organized sports activities to participate in at lunch times. There were fourth per iod volleyball teams, which completed and played in tournaments. There were also ping-po.ng tournaments with several different events to enter. As ide from the organized games you could always find a game of basketball or keepaway going on.

Tennis Becoming More Competitiv Tennis for 9th graders got into full swing with lots of people serving, volleying and smashing.

The teams competed against each other and other t ea ms. They played singles, doubles, and mixed-doubles, advanced, intermediate and beginners.

They placed matches within their own teams. Th is year, tennis was more of a learning experience and for practice more than anything else. At the end of the seventh week season they held tournaments within their teams.

Lincoln High The Lincoln High team was coached by Gerry Arganbright and the team consisted of players from Irving, Lefler, Everett, Goodrich and the Lincoln High freshmen. There were about 40 people out for the team, so 4 groups had to be made. The team met at Lincoln High from 4:45 to 5:45 on days when the vveather permitted.

Southeast

The Southeast team had about 25 people go out for the team, so 2 groups were made. At first , they had problems with not having a coach , but it was worked out, and Lavonne Uffelman coached the team. It was made up of players from Pound, Irving and Lefler. They practiced from 5: 30 to 7:00.

En.thusiasm Great; Victory Scarce It was a disappointing season for the Irving wrestlers; enthusiasm was plentiful but victory seemed scarce.

In the first three triangular meets Irv ing placed second, and they vVere expected to do quite well in the c ity meet. But this was not to be.

The Irving wrestlers finished ninth in this year's All-City meet.

Naturally, the wrestlers were d isappointed in their placement, but one team member, Dick Bacon had something to be proud of. He remained undefeated in his we ight class, 145 pounds, for the entire season. When asked how he fe lt about winning the city title, Dick had one word to say, "Proud! "

New Council Developed The kids who wanted to be on 2nd semester Student Council had to go through a lot more red tape than they did last semester.

Instead of just filling out an application, the students who wanted to run, had to attend a special meeting, they needed 3 teachers to sponsor them and had to answer a page of q .estions. After all of that, 8 teachers decided which kids would be candidates. Then the vote went to the rest of the students.

Dee Henderson stated, "I think it's better than just filling out an application and having your friends sign it." Sarah Ca p ek added, "The people who were w ill ing to work got on instead of those just w a nting to be popular."

The officers were as folfows; President: Kit Cathcart, Vice-President; Greg Hoag, Secretary; Dee Henderson, and treasurer was Leah Shaw. The 8th grade representative was Jennifer McDowell, and the 7th grade representative was Dorothy Minnick.

The Student Council had such activities as a Spring Dance, a talent show, a paper drive, and a student exchange with the other junior highs. One speci a l project they did was giving a plant to a custodian that was in the hospital.

Members agreed the new system worked ve ry well .

Journalism Goals Achieved Writing stories, thinking up headlines and learning how to layout a newspa per· were just a few of the things the second semester journalism class learned.

The class brought out four issues of the Irving News during the semester. They worked hard at bringing out an issue, each one better than t he last, every four weeks. They strived to write what the students wanted to read and tried also to increase readership. Keeping Irving informe d was their single most important good .

Reviewing the semester, Marcia White said, "Se cond semester journa lism was a lot of fun. We learned a lot and enjoyed learning it. We put great effort on our paper to try to create the best Irving News pass ible."

YEARBOOK BLOOPERS

Sure the yearbook staff made mistakes; lots of them. We made lots and lots of goofs that cost lots and lots of money! But then, folks, we're only human.

Also, we come across some strange people. (Just look at the pictures) We had fun, though, and somehow made it through.
