There are many parts to L in co ln High and th e 1,641 st u d e n ts w h o attend. The "b ri d g e " in A n te lo p e Park has been a p a rt of LHS fo r m a n y years .

H o w m a n y st u d e n ts can re m e m b e r g e tt in g up e a rl y in th e m o rn in g o r staying up la te th e n ig h t before ju s t to beat th a t in te r- c it y rival to g e t o u r colors o n th e bridge?

H o w m a n y cans o f p a in t have been sp e n t by L.HS e n th u s ia s ts ju s t to s h o w th e ir s p ir it and th a t th e y belonged to Lincoln High?

To be a part o f so m e th in g a person m u s t so m e ti m e s struggle, as a ru n n e r on th e tr a ck team looking for th e last lap, o r he can be th e sp e ct a to r ch e e ri n g th e ru n n e r on. A person can be a part of a n yt h in g if he tr u ly w a n ts to be. It m a y mean le a rn in g to g e t along w it h others, g iv in g up some th in g s, le a rn in g n e w th in g s and fo rg e tt in g old, b u t th e end re su lt sh o u ld a lw a ys be w h a t you chose it to be.

Being a part o f Lincoln High is having yo u r p ic tu re taken fo r th e yearbook, ca rr yi n g a load o f books to h e lp th a t fa vo ri te teacher, losing your voice at a fo o tb a ll game, tr y in g to g e t by th e h a ll guard w it h a bag o f popcorn, o r it may ju s t be s it ti n g u n d e r a tree th in k in g about y o u rs e lf and th e w o rl d a ro u n d you . B u t m o st o f all , it 's doing w h a t you w a n t to do and being w h a t you w a n t to be.

It takes two to start a friendship and two to continue it.

Each person is an essential part. Laughing, posing for a photographer, opening a present, cleaning up the lunchroom or watching the girls go by, all are no fun unless shared with a friend. Sometimes that friend is lost in the crowd and then we must find them to find ourselves. Friends become a part of us and us a part of thern. Friendship is the difference between what things are and what they could be.

Belonging means seeing new changes, starting with the cut of a ribbon. An addition to Lincoln this past year, was the Lincoln Center, it became a part of Lincoln when Mayor Boosalis cut the ribbon. Changes occur in each of us and the area around us and we either accept them or try to lose them by moving our thoughts on, like the tracks of a train .

Everybody is different and wants to be an individual ·make yourself a "part" of that something that is important to you.

Homecoming Term ed A Royal Success The 27th annual Homecomi ng Dance was held on September 24, 1976 following the Lincoln High-North east football game. The theme of Homecomi ng this year was : "Poems, Prayers, and Promises." The music for the dance was provided by "Hell " , and was sponsored by Student Council.

The official ceremonie s took place during halftime of the game. Tracey Gabe Iman and Mike Ford, who were last year$ king and queen, came back and crowned the new king and queen for this year. Crowned King and Queen this year were: Andy Ozaki and Cindy Kapustka .

This years Homecom ing marked the first time in four years that Lincoln High won its Homecomi ng football game. Lincoln High downed Northeast 26-25 .

Candidates for king and queen were nominated by Student Council and the Boys L-Club. Student Council chose the male candidates, while the L-Club chose the female candidates. The senior class then voted and narrowed the field of candidates down to ten. There was another vote taken, and then the king and queen were chosen . The winners were then revealed during a traditional half-time ceremony, with Lori Maxfield and Dave Walker as Mistress and Master of Ceremonie s.

Attendants for this years Homecomi ng were : Ruth Fen and Doug Simpson, Vicky Tucker and Uduak Udofia, Terry Buttke and Dean Carstens, Terri Enyeart and Dan Lococo.

All Sch ool Play HDinny and the Wit ch es" "Dinny and the Witches" concerns the search of a young musician for the perfect life. Being human, and therefore imperfect, Dinny's search leads him in circles as he follows a shooting star; and a girl - Amy (Sue Colborn).

When Dinny (Jeff Charrion) refuses to accept the imperfect, the three witches (Tammy Shaw, Belinda Acosta, and Linda Bertrand) who control the world, grant him the only perfection in this world, Death.

Only when given a second, and finally a third chance by the friendly witch, does Dinny realize that happiness can be found through love; and even though it may be flawed, it's the best thing that life can offer.

Carefully, Amy the p~rfect wife, is watching over her and Dinny's baby.

Above: Zenobia and Ulga brewing a storm of perfection, tor the world to see . Below: No look and no personality, Uiga the witch that has nothing going for her.

11 Comedy How To Suc cee The title of this year's musical was "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." The story centered around a young man J. Pierrepont Finch, who was trying to make it to the top at the World Wide Wicket Company.

The one main obstacle that stood in his way was the president's nephew, Bud Frump. Frump always called his mother if things didn't go right, she in turn would call Mrs. Biggley, the president's wife, who then would call her husband Biggley and complain. Frump thought that . since he ·was the president's nephew, he should get promoted before anybody else.

A stenograph er, Rosemary Pilkington, fell madly in love with Finch. She tried everything to get him to recognize her. As the story progressed, Finch asked Rosemary to be his wife.

Finch made it out of the mail room all the way to President of the Board at World Wide Wicket Company.

The story ended with Finch accepting the president's job, and WallyWom per, the past president, marrying the flirt, Hedy LaRue.

Co m pi le W in ni ng Record

The 1976 Varsi ty footb all team had a very succe ssful season, comp iling an impressive 5-3-1 record unde r new head coach Larry Frost. The first-y ear coach starte d off his Lincoln High football career by admin isterin g the veer offense. This type of offense made the Links groun d and aerial attack strong and they had the poten tial to score from anyw here on the -field at any time.

The season started off great with the Links winni ng three out of the first four games. Grand Island, the gridd ers first cha I lenge and state playo ff qualif ier, found out the new Links were for real. The Linco ln High gridders, led by their defense, domin ated the game. The Island ers never came close to scoring . The offens e was plagued by penal ties and didn't manage to score and the game ended in a scoreless tie. The might y Black and Red then went on to defeat the next three challengers, Papillion, Hastings, and North east before losing to state cham pion South east in a heartbreaker, 7-0.

After the loss to South east the Links traveled to Millar d and played an excel lent game, domin ating both offen sively and defen sively the Black and Red came out on top 25-7 . The next games ruine d the Links hopes of a state play-o ff spot as they came up on the short end of the score again st Ralston and North Platte. In the final game the LHS gridde rs came out on top against crosstown rival East, 7-6, in a defen sive battle.

Offensively, senior back Udauk Udofia led the Links in rushin g with 535 yards. Anoth er senio r back, lborah Umor en, was right behind Udofia with 533 yards. Senio r quart erbac k Dean Carstens led the Black and Red in total offen se with 861 yards. Carstens was also the punte r, who averaged 35. 1 yards per kick. Th-is was good enou gh to make him the all-cit y kicker.

On defense the two linbackers, Mike Fallstead and Randy Hitz led the team in tackles with 99 each.

Fallstead also picked off three passes and grabbed two fumbl es. In the backfield Darrel Temple, an all-sta te pick, had five interceptions, Alvin Moor e had three, Ralph McW illiam s had two, and Warre n Nettle ton picked off one. Defensive coach Marv Muel ler said this was the best defensive backfield he had ever coached.

Six players off the Links 10th ranked team were chosen for the all-cit y team. They were Carstens, kicker; Udof ia, halfback; Temple, defen sive halfback; Hitz, offen sive tackle; McW illiam s, mons ter, and Dan Lococo defensive end. Temple was chosen as an allstate player and Udofia and McW illiam s were hono rable ment ions, Head Coach Larry Frost cited that teamw ork, togeth ernes s, and discip line were the main reasons for the successful winni ng season. Mr. Frost also looks forwa rd to next year with a strong reserve team coming up along with a respectable sopho more team. There will also be 13 return ing letter men. Reserve coaches, Story and Zuspan, and sophomore coaches, Folsom and Tapp, feel that they have many players that will help out the varsit y next year.

Coaches Story and Zuspa n both agreed that the stron g defen se was the main part of the succe ssful seaso n. Coach Story cited that witho ut the drivin g offen se, the defen se would not have been as good. The offen se and defen se worke d toget her with perfe ction.

Soph omor e back Doug Moor e led the offens e with 614 yards. Avera ging 5.6 yards per carry, Moor e was cited as being a strong , powe rful runne r as show ed in the East game when he picked up 200 yards rush ing.

Othe rs who perfo rmed well for the JV's were sophomore s Bryan Grell at quart erbac k, Nkere Udofi a at halfback, and junio r Gary Kinne y at halfback. Tom Fuller did the punti ng for the reserves and comp iled an impre ssive 38.5 yards per kick.

The might y defen se was led by junio r Doug Smith at noseg uard who collec ted 115 tackle s throu ghou t the seaso n . Both coach es pointe d out that Smith was a great asset to the stiff defen se. The next close st defen der was mons ter Dave Rapp with 52 tackles. The tough defen se held their oppon ents to just eight points per game.

Th e strong defens e of the reserve footbal l team made it possibl e for them to t ie • for the city champ ionship and end up with a season record of 6-1-1 . The coache~also cited that the team used basic fundam ental footbal l to win their games .

Young Netters Gain Muc h Experience The young Lincoln High tennis team, as it seems, had an off year . But coach Doug Haave cited that much was learned by this season. He also added that the attitude of the players was great and he hopes it will continue next year. Coach Haave also added that if all the players work hard during the off season they will surprise some people.

Dennis Scott, a junior, was the top player for the Links this season. His dual meet record was 3-8 . Scott usually played in the No. 1 doubles too. Throughou t the year Scott was accompani ed by Clark Porter, a junior also, in the No. 1 doubles slot. Porter's dual meet record was 4-7. Junior Stuart Schaefer played some doubles with Scott and so did junior Rick Webb . Rick Luginbill, the only senior, played No. 1 singles towards the end of the year in the tournamen ts when Scott was playing No. 1 doubles.

In the city tournamen t play, Scott and Webb were third in No. 1 doubles. In the 1-80 tournamen t they were sixth in the No. 1 doubles slot. Scott and Porter were fourth in the Trans-Neb raska tourney in the No. 1 doubles position. Sophomore Nick Harms did a respectable job of gathering fifth in the 1-80 tourney and tied for third in the Trans-Neb raska tournamen t in No. 2 singles.

The team 's best overall performanc e was probably in the Trans .. Nebraska tournamen t where they picked up fifth place, beating Hastings, who they beat during the season in a dual meet 6-3. In that dual victory Scott won his No. 1 singles match 6-1 and 6-4, Schaefer won the No. 2 singles match 6-3 and 6-0 , Porter won the No. 3 singles match 6 - 2, 5-7, and 6-1, and Webb won the No. 4 singles match 7-5 and 6-4. Sophomore Nick Harms gave the Links their fifth team point by winning the No. 6 singles match 7-5, 4-6, and 6-3.

Coach Haave cited that due to graduation of the seniors from the other schools, the young netters could be very respectable next year. He hopes that the players keep the good attitude they have had and work hard over the summer and get ready for next season .

Playing No. 1 doubles and singles most of the year, junior Dennis Scott did a fin e job. Hare he makes a smashing serve to his opponent during a dual meet a , Lincoln High .

Harris Gobbles up Records; Gals Win · After coming off a dismal 0-7-1 season the girls swim team showed some improvement finishing 3-5.

Coach Cotter was pleased with this team and the girls attitude and performance and he hopes it will continue next season .

Leading the team for the second year in a row was Barb Harris. Harris, only a junior, set a nationai record in the state meet. Her record came in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of :51.9. Harris had a busy day at the state meet. Not only did she set a national record but she broke her own record in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1 :55.2 . Harris was consistent all year breaking records in the 1--80 meet in two events and she won every event she entered. She was also chosen as captain of the all-city swim team .

The season started off good as the gal's won the Ralston Relays easily. They did, however, find the city competition to be the toughest except that of Omaha Westside who were state champs once again. During the season many school records were broken by the young girls' team.

Other consistent swimmers for the Links were Cocaptain Joette Larsen, a senior, who did well in the butterfly event, senior Joy Stephens, and juniors Carla McCord, Carol Nun, and Carol Stephens, all performed welt for Coach Cotter. Sophomores Stacey Porter and Sue McCord were two of the most consistent of the firstyear swimmers.

Next year should be an even better year for the female tankers as they will lose only two seniors off thf: team. Coach Cotter was pleased with this years results and should be even more pleased with next years as his young team gained valuable experience and should be tough competitors next season ,

After losing three senio rs to gradu ation and having only three junior s back, the team looked to the incom ing sophomores for help. The team did find relief as eight sophomores reported for action.

Leading the sophomores and perfo rming in the allaroun d event was Bryan Horacek. Horacek was consistent all year in this event as he placed fifth in the TransNebraska •meet, won two duals, and was second in the Grand Island - North Platte triang ular.

He placed fast in four duals, finish ed well in all the tourn amen ts, includ ing second in the Distri ct meet, which enabled him to go to state where he placed ninth.

Teammate Scott Fiedler, also a sophomore, was the only other Link to qualif y for the State meet. He also qualif ied in the vaulti ng event. One of the best perfo rmanc es by Fiedler was in the dual meet again st Beatr ke where he placed first. The two other vaulte rs for the Links were junior Don Ginge r and sophomore John Krebsbach.

Both perfor med well to give the gymn asts a strong vaulti ng event. Krebsbach also did a fine job on the pomm el horse as he show ed by finish ing sixth in the openi ng invita tional again st some fine Omaha schools includ ing state cham pion Omaha South. Ginge r helped out in the tramp oline event as well as in vaulti ng. The other two junior s, Alien Read and Mark Beebout, did very fine jobs in their own events. Read, on the➔ horizon .. tal bar and floor exercise, did a fine job this year and coach Fallstead thinks he will be even better next year.

Beeb out did a super ior job on the pommel horse as he show ed by placin g fourth in the Trans-Nebraska meet and winni ng four dual meets. Coach Fallstead feels Beeb out has the poten tial to be one of the best in the city next season.

In the pre-season rating s the Links were in the fifth place spot. In the post-season rating s the Links were in the second place spot. Were the sport swrite rs corre ct with their predic tions at the begin ning of the season? It might not have looked so promi sing all during the season but when the Distri ct Tourn amen t rolled a·roun d the Links broug ht smile s to the faces of many people.

The season starte d off with two close losses in the first four games. The Links lost their opening game .to Hastings by two points then defeated Omaha Wests ide 66-55 . Just before Chris tmas vacation the Links lost to McCook in an overti me game by two points and then came back to demo lish Beatrice 89-52 .

When the Distri ct Tourn amen t starte d the Links had a record of 8-10. When it was all over the Links were 11 10 and distric t champs. In the first game the Links smashed the Beatrice Orang emen by 15 points then beat South east in a close battle by two points. In the finals the Links defeated East High and for the first time in 14 years the Links were on their way to the State Tourn amen t.

In the State Tourn amen t the amazing Links were not quite finished wlth their season. in the first round the Links faced top-se eded Grand Island, with a record of 20-1, because of their unimpressive but highly deceiving 11-10 record. Many predic ted an opening round loss by the Links but they surprised the field by trounc ing the top-ra ted Islanders by 20 points. In the. second round the Links again came out on top by thump ing the Benson Bunnies 68-57. In the championship game the Links faced Omaha Burke, anoth er surprising team in the tourna ment. The Links bid for the State cham pionship fell five points short 1 66-61.

Leading the Links all season was senio r Jerry Heckman . For his fine play all season and' in t~e State Tourn amen t Heckman was name d to the all*city, allstate, and all-to urnam ent teams. Heckman was the teams leading scorer with 44 7 points, the top rebou nder with 235 rebounds. Heckman was a big asset from the charit y stripe $hoot ing a torrid 74 percent. In the State Tourn amen t Heckman was the second leading scorer in Class A w ith 83. points, an average of 27 .7 per game.

Other senio rs who did great jobs for Coach Aldie Johnson this past season were Dean Carstens, Karl Scholz, Robbie Robinson, and Kevin /°'lbers. Carstens was the thi"rd leading scorer with 193 points and was cited for his f ine play and hustle by being chosen player of the game three times and being selected to the second team all city.

Scholz was second in both scoring and rebounds.

Robinson was fourth in scorin g and shot a good 60 percent from the free throw line. Alber s didn 't see much action until the later part of the season. He was a big part of the team just from the emoti onal stand point. Alber s was a·spark plug durin g the State Tourn amen t.

The junior s were led by Ralph McWi lliams and Nate Woods. McW illiam s was a fine ball handl er for the Links.

Woods will return as the teams best free throw shoot er which he proved by shoot ing a blazing 77 percent from the charit y stripe.

Tankers Show Improvement All Season From looking at their record it would appear the Lincoln High swim team had a long season. The dual record for the LHS tankers was 1-8-1. They defeated Papillion and tied Hastings. Coach Gene Cotter pointed out that his swimmers gained valuable experience all season long. He also pointed out that the times for all of his swimmers improved a great deal.

The team consisted of only three seniors out of the 17 man squad. John Arenas, Mike Herr, and Alan Loos were the three seniors on the team. Arenas was a strong contender in the shorter races such as the 50 and 100 yard freestyle. He was also part of the 400 yard freestyle relay team which consistently placed in the top three finishers in dual competition . Herr and Loos competed in the long distance races and did very well all season long for the Links.

The diving event was a strong part of the LHS swim team. Junior Allen Read and sophomores Randy Strickler and Bryan Horacek were the divers for the squad most of the season . Strickler was probably the best of the three divers. In 10 dual meets Strickler finished first in six of them . Strickler ended his season good by finishing ninth in the State meet in the diving event.

Read and Horacek were consistently placing in the top four in dual competiton.

Sophomore Mark Hammer was the most consistent of the swimmers for Coach Cotter. Hammer swam in many events for the tankers such as the 200 yard individual medley, the 100 and 500 yard freestyle, the 100 yard butterfly, and he was part of the 400 yard freestyle relay team . In the 200 yard freestyle event Hammer placed third in the 1-80 meet and fouth in the 100 yard butterfly in the same meet. In the Trans-Nebraska meet he was third in both the 200 yard individual medley and the 500 yard freestyle. In the State meet Hammer was fourth in the 500 yard freestyle with a time of 4 :56.8 and he was sixth in the 200 yard individual medley with a time of 2:07.75. ·

Grapplers Win City; Show Great Desire The 1976-1977 wrestling team under first-year head coach, Harold Simpson, compiled a 4-5-1 dual record.

This might not look impressive but three of the wins were over the three Lincoln teams which made the Links city champs.

Coach Simpson cited that the seniors on the team were a great asset for the underclassmen . The seniors were led by Bob Bousek who ended the season with a record of 21-6 and third in the state. Four of Bousek's losses were to Dick Longoria from Northeast who was the state champ in the 112 pound weight class. Randy Hitz was also one of the top wrestlers for the Links. Hitz finished sixth in the state with a record of 16-10-1 in the heavyweight division. Other seniors who did fine jobs for the LHS grapplers were Doug Simpson, Tom Maxwell, and Mike Scanlon. Maxwell was challenged by sophomore Russ Hitz all season for the 145 pound spot.

Two juniors, Bill Buettgenbach and Bob Warta, battled all year in the 185 pound class for a varsity spot. Almost all of their tryout matches went into overtime.

The Links should be strong next year after a fine reserve team season. Coach Simpson pointed out that the team had great desire and a fine attitude.

Three wrestlers on the LHS team were named as allcity selections. They were seniors Mike Scanlon in the 167 pound class and Randy Hitz in the heavyweight class along with sophomore Skip Madsen in the 119 pound class.

Junior Tyler Sprouse strides out to lead a Fremont opponent in one of the longer relay races at the M illard Invitational.

The 1977 boys' track team, under the coaching of Harold Scott, based their hopes on some returning seniors and fine underclassmen as they entered the season .

Leading the team were seniors Mike Fallst~ad and Steve Shaw in the field · events, John Salinas, Dan Lococo and Clarence Walker in the distan~e races, and lborah Umoren, who was one of the top sprinters on the team this past season. The top juniors on the squad-this season were Jeff Johnson and Bill Buettgenbach in the weight events, Larry Jones and Tyler Sprouse running the distance races, Greg Quarrels in the sprints, and Denn is Scott in the middle distance events. Two sophomores, Jeff Barron and Mike Larson, were big parts of this year's squad. Barron ran the hurdles and Larson entered the middle distance races.

The season didn 't start off with a great deal of team success as the team finished last in both the M illard Invitational and the Lincoln Public Schools Relays.

Although the team didn 't have great success, there were "some fine individual performances. Salinas, in the twomile run, Scott in the middle distances, Fallstead in the triple jump, and Johnson in the shot put were some of the better performers early in the season . ·Helping out Coach Scott th is past year were Mr. Jerry Holmberg, ass istant coach, and Mr. Bill Story, who coaches the weightmen on the squad.

Weights, Distance Tracksters Lead Gals The 1977 season for Coach George Ayoub and his girls' track team was a good one after coming off a second place finish in the State meet in 1976. The team only lost two gal tracksters from that runner-up squad a year ago. Coach Ayoub had confidence in his team as the season opened. He figured they would have great success all season.

The girls' team this past season was led by a strong weight crew and great depth in the distance events. In the weights, the discus was probably stronger than the shot put. Returning in those events was senior Robin Hruby who was a gold medal winner in the discus in last year's State meet as she threw an all-time high in that event with a toss of 144 feet. Robin was also a big asset in the shot put event. Others who performed well on the weight crew this past season were underclassmen Karen Wilson and Julie McEwen. In the distance races, the 880 yard run, mile run, mile relay and the two m ile relay, junior Theresa Schoonover was a big part ·o f the squad. After coming off a brilliant sophomore season Theresa looked even stronger this season. Other fine distance runners were senior Diane Nerud and underclassmen Carol Stephens and Deb Cirksena.

The Links did start the season off on the right foot by winning the Lincoln Public Schools Relays held on April 2nd at Stuart Stadium. The Links were first with 53 points followed by East High with 47, then came Southeast with 36 and Northeast rounded out the field with 32_points.

With only three return ing letter men from last year's squad the Lincoln High baseball team entered the 1977 season quite hopeful that the newc oming players could fill in for last year's graduating seniors. The three letter men return ing this past season were pitche r Myron Drent, infield er-pit cher Dean Carstens, and third baseman. Doug Diehm. Joinin g these letter men was outfie lder Warre n Nettleton, a trans fer from California just this past year. Carstens, who was named to the allcity team at first base last season, was moved to shortstop for this season.

The team had a tough 14-ga me regula r season schedule along with the Ralston and Distri ct tournaments. The tougher opponents for the diamo ndme n were Omaha Westside, Omaha South, Millar d and Papillion, The Lincoln teams were also tough opponents for the Links this past season. Coach Bill Zuspan, starting his fourth year, pointed out that the city cham pionship could have been won by any one of the four schools.

Fine performances were turne d out by Scott Carlson, first base-pitcher; Mike Schrader, catcher; and Bryan Clark in the outfie ld. All three of these young men were seniors and will be missed next season along with the three return ing letter men, Drent, Carstens, and Diehm, as well as trans fer Nettleton. Of the 17 players on the varsity this past season, only two were underclassmen, Dan Gerlach, junior , who played second base most of the season and Bryan Grell, sophomore, who played left field for the varsity.

LHS Gals Led By Experienced Ne tte rs The 1977 girls' tennis team based their hopes on some fine players who return ed from the 1976 team, which finish ed third in the State Tourn amen t. Along with the return ing players the team gaine d a new coach, Mrs. Cheryl Henry. Mrs. Henry also coached the reserve volleyball team and girls' gymn astics . Both teams had great success and Coach Henry hoped this success would carry into the tennis season.

The team had 22 girls report for practice, this includ ed ten sophomores, four junior s and eight seniors.

Probably the strong est player on the squad was junior Claudia Ande rson who saw action in both single s and doubles play. Two other fine players from last year's squad were senio r Ruth Fen and junior Andre a Rugg .

These two saw a great deal of action in the No. 1 doubles spot. Other s on the team this year were senio rs Marle ne Brandt, Babe Harre, Gena Lysko, and Lori Maxfi eld, and junior Dee Weixe lman.

Next year's squad shoul d be fairly strong because of the experience ga ined by the youn{Jer players on this year's team . Claudia Ande rson, Andrea Rugg, and Dee Weixe lman will be among those return ing along with some f ine sophomores comin g back, such as Stacey Porter and Andra Purkalitis.

Bad weath er at the end of March and the begin ning of April caused some set backs in the sched ule but they did practice hard before the bad weath ei· struck and were ready to go when they had their first meets.

Dee We ixleman backhands this opponents shot for an easy point during a matd ; with other members of the varsity.

lntr amu rals Offe r Opportunity For Links At Lincoln High there is an opportunit y for students and off-season athletes in the intramural programs. The two main intramural programs this past school year were weightliftin g and basketball.

In the weightliftin g program Mr. Bill Story was in charge. Mr. Story said he had a fine turnout with between 35 and 45 students reporting for each afterschool session during the winter months because many were preparing for the spring sports season.

Mr. Jerry Holmberg was in charge of the basketball program this past year. In the sophomore division the LHS team, the Trojans, were the city champs. In the first game they defeated East High and then in the finals they beat the Northeast ball club. Mr. Holmberg pointed out that basketball had the biggest turnout of all the intramural programs. Mr. Holmberg also said that the basketball program always has had the largest turnout of all the programs.

Other intramural programs at Lincoln High this past season were volleyball, football, softball, and bowling.

There were also days for open-gym sessions on weekends and during holiday breaks.

The action is hot and heavy during this intramural basketball game. Basketba l' had the biggest attendance of all the intramural programs.

This Lincoln High student utilized the new weightroom this past school year. The new weightroom and locker rooms were opened for use this past w inter sports season.

Personnel

Former Student Extends LH S Traditi on After 26 years under the leadership of William Bogar, Lincoln High turned to a new era-When Sanford Nelson was named principal.

Mr. Nelson cited, as his major goal in his first year as a high school principal, the desire to continue the work of his predecessor in bringing to Lincoln High the "threads" of academic excellence and pride which enable students to achieve self-fulfillm ent. He stressed the importance of an open and effective sense of communication among students, parents, staff, and community.

The new principal observed that, while there has been an absence of any drastic changes in the education system, recent technologic al advances have led to a new emphasis on equipping students to become responsible decision-m akers.

Mrs. Rhea Jean Kleitsch, Attendance Counselor, made an in-depth study of nonattendance.

Mr. Donald Dean and Mr. Harry Kuklin tackle the complex course arrangement.

"One of the strengths of Lincoln High is the diversity of the student body which is characteristic of the makeup of our society." - Sanford Nelson.

Cou nse lors Help Stud ents Fulfill Potentia Guidance counselors , because of their close contact w ith the student body, are able to play an influential role in any educationa l system . In high school, the importance of the counselor is magnified by the needs of the students for help in making personal and often complex decisions which may set the course of a person 's future.

The role of the counselor may range from the distribution of computeriz ed informatio n such as test scores to advice which will make the difference between failure and success. The counselor has the awesome responsibi lity of keeping the student interested in high school and his own destiny. A counselor must have the reasoning ability and compassio n to display a personal touch in a process which is, by necessity, a system of mass production .

Arts Offe r Stud ents Cultural Fulf illm ent Students learn how to express themselves through the fine arts courses. The fine arts include both the visual and musical arts.

The visual arts section provides students with an alternative method of expression . The classes promote visual awareness on the patt of the student. Students are prepared for hobbies in later life, while a· few of the more talented individuals seek career opportuniti es.

Mr. Joseph Skutchan, head of the music department, says the music departmen t attempts to, "intro• duce a variety of music literature to vocal and instrumental students in order to supply them with the necessary criteria to become effective and intelligent performers , interpreter s, and consumers of musical art and to provide them with the means of using music as a recreationa l part of leisure time."

Better Communication Through English In order to be understood and to understand others, particularly in this era of mass communication, a person must have the ability to communicate through the English language, both orally and written.

The purpose o-f the English Department is to provide the students with an adequate background in language arts skills. These skiils including reading, writing, speech, listening, research, and vocabulary development. Through exposure to the language arts, it is hoped that the student will develop an appreciation for a variety of means of communication. Students are able to explore a wide variety of interests through the elective courses .

This year, a special emphasis has been placed on writing ability. This shift from reading to writing based programs was prompted by deficiencies in writing which were spotted.

In order for a person to develop his talents and unique interests fully, it seems imperative that he attain a knowledge of the English language that will allow him to communicate with his fellow citizens. Knowledge of literature will enable anyone to find an area of interest which will be useful as a form of cultural fulfillment if he wishes.

Exploration Through Science Department Because of the irnmediancy of science to life in the increasingly technical society of today, a person should gain knowledge in this field in order to understand himself and the world around him.

The Science Department attempts to reach the curiousity of the students so that they can gain insight into general knowledge areas, such as biology. The elective courses, such as chemistry and physics, prepare students for post-high school study. Lincoln High is one of only a few schools which subscribes to • Harvard Project Physics, which utilizes a multi-media approach to physics.

Courses Provide Basic, Intensive Math The mathematical needs of students currently enrolled in high school vary with the individual from the ability to make simple business transactions to career goals which call for an education in more sophisticated • math.

The Lincoln High Math Department· attempts to confront these demands by providing a solid background in the basics of math .

For students interested in a more intensive program, the Math Department offers career-oriented courses, such as computer programming. Courses which a student may study independently include: Math Analysis, Logic. Limits, as well as Probability and Statistics.

Unfortunately, because no calculus course is currently offered at Lincoln High, students who wish to study this field take a course at the University of Nebraska (at their own expense); calculus will, however, be offered at LHS within the next several years.

Students Learn To Confront Problems In an interdependent world, tomorrow's leaders need to gain knowledge on current events and past history in order to understand potential problems and their solutions. Responsible members of society must understand how society works ~nd why people do what they do.

The Social Studies Department provides this background .- The courses help students prepare to meet fu ture social, political, and economic problems .

In recent years, the short, topic courses have appeared in a great variety . These elective courses give students the opportunity to study their many interests in more depth than is possible in the broad general-knowledge courses. By concentrating on a chosen topic, a course may cover an area of interest in a more humanistic manner, since more time is available for the little things which constitute the human experience.

A unique social studies course offering at LHS is the Educational Participation in the Community (EPIC} program, which offers career exploration and social and psychological development. Students volunteer their services mostly to community agencies.

Courses in physical education give students the opportunit y to learn about recreation, physical fitness, and activities for later life. The courses blend into the regular school curriculum and also involve competitiv e athletics.

For eight years, co-educati onal class - a concept which Marvin Mueller, Departmen t Head, described as excellent - have been offered at LHS. According to Title 9 regulations , all sports - with the exception of wrestling - must be offered to both interested males and females .

Some courses are not the traditional, more strenuous, physical education classes. Student may gain knowledge related to a career by learning to work with kids. An adaptive physical education course is offered to special education and physically handicappe d students. Another class concentrat es on dance rhythms.

The most popular courses are body conditionin g and recreation and games. The departmen t is open to suggestions for additional courses if student interest is shown.

Course Goal· Citizenship Behind Whe el The automobile plays a major role in modern society. A car, when used in the proper way, can bring satisfaction to the driver; when abused, the privilege of driving can prove fatal to the careless driver as well as other, more responsible , drivers.

Through use of a textbook and a simulator, as well as actual driving experience , the student learns the proper driving techniques . He also learns the respon- • sibility which each driver owes to society as a whole ; By taking such a course as driver education, students become potentially good drivers in the inter-depen dent world of the highway.

In recent years, the driver education courses have drawn increased interest from the student body - particularly among the girls.

No course of any kind is a panacea or should be regarded as such. The quarter classes in the Driver Education Departmen t cannot be regarded as the ultimate safeguard on the highways. The courses in driver education do enable young drivers to improve their driving skills if they wish .

Language Study Requires Self-discipline When a student chooses to study a foreign language, he learns the importance of the communication which is often blurred by uncommon languages.

The reasons for student participation in any class or activity are often as varied as the students themselves.

Some students take advantage of foreign language courses because they wish to travel. Some use a high school _language class to satisfy college graduation re quirements which may be met prior to entrance.

Foreign language classes enable students to develop self-discipline because of the amount of study required to learn a language. Some students, learning the intricacies of grammar when studying a language, develop a better understanding of the English language.

The foreign language courses give students the opportunity to attain a level of competency which can satisfy their goals or put them on the road to such knowledge. Courses in French, German, and Spanish through the fourth-year level give students this opportunity through hard work.

Pe rs on ne l Provide Ne ce ss ar y Se rv ice s Probably the least consp icuou s of all segm ents of the school envir onme nt is the group of unher alded memb ers of the facult y who perfo rm services for the stude nts.

It seems that the only t ime one notices the worke rs in stude nt services is when the heate r isn 't funct ioning prope rly or when a person discovers that he has been charg ed for a book which is totally offens ive to his natur e.

The service perso nnel perfo rm the essential tasks which keep the school runni ng smoo thly. Office personne l work at the heart of the school. Teacher aides act to take some of the pressure off the teach ers. The librar y staff keeps the librar y order ly and are available for assis tance so that a stude nt can find t,elp when he sudde nly realizes that his seme ster paper is due tomo rrow. The custo dians clean up the mess left by the darlin g stude nts. The cafete ria provides cheap meals .

The JET staff can be helpfu l when one needs employment .
