Students Explore Many ForeignCultures Through AFS and International Club, Lincoln High students had an opportunity to learn about foreign countries and some students even had the experience of traveling to them.

The International Club studied traditions and customs of people from other parts of the world. They _held meetings and even formed de!egations to certain countries for those who had special interests. The goals of this club were to determine which exchange program or scholarship they would support.

There were two Lincoln High students who traveled abroad last summer through AFS, they were Steve Wiedeman and Laura Williams . Steve traveled to Nicaragua and Laura went to Germany. There was one student who came to Lincoln High for foreign exchange.

Her name was lvira Chase and she is · from South America.

International Club: Row 1: Ruth Boham, Jenny Carver, Karen Miller, Hillary Doerr. Row 2: Linda Biteniks, Laura Williams, Lee Kopines, Kathy Lewis.

Row 3: Deni Disney, Joe Bachman, Joe Hiltner, Norm Schrader, Karen Tangeman.

Elvira Chase was here at Lincoln High on an AFS exchange from South America.

Lee Kopines ponders another question at an International club meeting.

"The Summer People " was the play presented by the Lincoln High representa tives in the competitio n. It was written by Shirley Jackson, the author of "The Lottery".

The play showed how small towns react to outsiders and gives the idea that everyone is a victim of their own patterns of behavior.

The cast did very well in the competitio n. On January 21, the group entered District Competitio n in York, Nebraska. Here they received a superior rating which qualified them for the State Competitio n held February 2nd in Kearney, Nebraska.

First Year For Sophomore Swi ng Choir Under the direction of Joseph Skutchan, the sophomores were given a chance to try out and be in a mixed singing group for the first time this year. The class was started so the sophomores could sing the more contemporary pop and rock songs and receive the experience needed to be in the varsity swing choir.

To be in this group the sophomores had to tryout in the spring proceeding the 1977-78 school year. Mr. Skutchan went out to the feeding junior highs and listened to auditions in order to select the new swing choir.

The group held concerts and performed at many civic functions such as meetings and church functions.

There were also three glee groups this year. They were taught by Mr. Skutchan and Mrs. Juliane Knowles.

The classes were sophomore girls glee, sophomore boys glee, and junior-sen ior girls glee.

Marcia Richards, Jeff Brennan and Ruth Boham swing to the latest tunes.

Working Together Important For Choir This past year the Lincoln High Varsity swing choir sought to provide entertainment for the school and the community. Their main goal was to work together as a whole and to relate to each other as individuals through their musical efforts.

The group performed at various functions ranging from Joy Night to the governor's mansion. They broke tradition this year by replacing the Girls Ennead and the Boys Octetwith the Swing Choir composed of 8 juniors and 8 seniors. Together they worked for good choral balance and energy in performing.

They had several activities outside of school including a retreat at Pioneers Park, a pizza party and going to a show. The sponsor for this group was Mrs. Juliane Knowles.

They also performed at the Kiwanis Club Christmas Dinner, at the Hilton Hotel and at the Cornhuske r Hotel for the Lincoln Area Retired Teachers Association .

In addition to these, the choir performed a Christmas concert for the student body in their new red choir robes.

On Feb. 6th, the All-City Choir night was held at Pershing Auditorium , in which the choir performed along with the choirs from the other three Lincoln high schools.

Links Staff Is Kept Busy With Deadlines Meeting deadlines, taking pictures, and writing copy were just a few of the tasks of the 12-member yearbook staff this year, Of these 12, all but two were new to the ye~rbook staff. The editors were the only returning from the 1977 staff. An addition, late in the year, was cartoonist, Jeff Barron.

The group changed advisors at the end of the first semester. Mr. Mike Diffenderfer ended his three and a half year teaching career here at LHS, and Mr. Lee Johnson took over his position. Mr. Johnson had previously been a student teacher for Mr. Diffenderfer.

This class was organized to give students experience jr, the field of journalism, and to put out the best possible yearbook. This was done through much dedication and extra hours, before and after school.

Some of the staff attended The Nebraska Public Schools Journalism Clinic at the beginning of the year, and in April the entire staff took a trip to Walsworth Printing Company in Missouri to see how their book was put together.

After the first semester of school, the Advocate Staff changed advtsors. Mrke Diffenderfer, the advisor for three and a half years, left to take on a partnership wlth Willtam Enterprises. Lee Johnson became the new advisor.

With the changing of advisors, there also was a. change on giving the students preview information instead of a review. They tried to inform the students of what is coming up instead of what has already happened. They also began including cover stories in the paper and focused on getting more school news.

The staff had a lot of hard work to do and also had to adjust to the ideas and the goals of a new advisor.

Lincoln High Presents''Bells Are Lincoln High's Musical this year was presented on March 30, 31, and April 1. The show was entitled "Bells Are Ringing". The book and lyrics were written by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and the music was done by Jule Stynne. The Director for the show was Mr. Skutchan.

"Bells Are Ringing" told of a telephone operator for and answering service who, in her cozy, warm-hearted, friendly way, manages to get entangled with the personal problems of her clients. Young Ella Peterson is employed by the Susan-answerphone Company when she begins to fall in love with a client, Jeff Moss, a partyloving playwright. She encourages Jeff to overcome his psychological difficulty of facing the blank paper and writes with him the beginning of a successful play entitled "The Midas Touch". Another subscriber to the service is Dr. Kitchell, a dentist who is better suited to write songs than fix teeth. Ella starts him following his avocation . Still a third subscriber is Blake Barton, an aspiring young actor, whom she leads to give up his motorcycle and blue jeans for a more conventional approach to his trade. Ella conceals her true identity but eventually all three are brought together and recognize her as the telephone operator.

Along the way, the answering service runs afoul of a bookmaker, posing as president of a record company, who uses the service to take bets by employing a complex code based on the names of composers and their works.

Reserve Team Has Five Hundred Season The reserve football team compiled a 4-4 record this fall, but coach Bill Zuspan felt that they had the potential to win all of their games. He stated that all of the games were close and pointed out that the JV's never lost by more than nine points.

The reserve gridders started out with an explosive 346 win over Beatrice. Then they lost to a tough Southeast squad 15-6. Southeast handed the Links another defeat later in the season by the score of 19-14.

Coach Zuspan felt that the wins over East and Westside were the highlights of the year. The links were trailing the Spartans 21-6, but made a poised come back and downed the Spartans 24-21. In the Westside contest the Links handed Westside it's first defeat in fifteen games 14-6.

The key to the team's success was their strong defense. The stingy Link defenders gave up just slightly over thirteen points a game. The defense was sparked by Ty Seeger who led the team with 71 tackles. Steve Smith and Greg Stutheit were close behind with 65 and 61 tackles respectively.

The work horse for the JV's offense was running back Pat Borer who gained 612 yards on 102 carries. Dave Hamersky, the other back, carried the ball 71 times for 353 yards.

In the passing departmen t Scott Fiedler and Bill Szalawiga teamed up for 43 completion s out of 109 attempts for 525 yards. Scott Fiedler also shared the scoring lead with Pat Borer, each of whom had four touchdown s.

Spikers Improve During Tough Seas on This was defin itely a rebui lding year for the Linco ln High volley ball team . The entire 1976 squad was made up of senio rs who gradu ated leavin g this year's team with no varsit y exper ience . Coach Joyce Johns on stated that the team had the poten tial, but they just didn 't have the exper ience neede d to win.

The lack of exper ience show ed up on the team 's record as they mana ged to win only seven match es, includ ing three victor ies over South east. The girls lost their first four match es befor e finally gettin g untra cked again st cross town rival North east. They beat the Rockets 13-15 , 15-6, 15-8.

The Links were led all throu gh the seaso n by senio rs Dee Weixe lman and Karen Wilso n. Coach Johns on stated that these two girls provid ed outsta nding. leade rship and were able to fire up the team in sever al crucia l game s.

As the year came to a close, the girls began to gain some confid ence in thems elves and they learne d how to play bette r as a team. Their impro veme nt throu gh the seaso n is illustr ated by the fact that the team won four of their last eight match es and two of their last three .

Coach Johns on feels that the team show ed a great amou nt of impro veme nt throu ghou t the seaso n, and that next year's squad shoul d do much better as they have ten letter wome n return ing. She also feels that next year the team will have the playin g time and confid ence that they lacked this year .

The Links did not get back on the winni ng track until their third match of the year when they down ed West side.

Links Tee Sweepers Clean Up Gr ee ns The Linco ln High golf team starte d out slowl y this fall, but impro ved with every meet. In their first meet the golfer s had to fight to stay out of the cellar , as they finish ed fourte enth out of fiftee n teams. Soon , howe ver, their place and score s began dropp ing. At the Beatr ice Invita tional the tee·swee pers finish ed tenth out of fourteen teams.

The golfer s reach ed their peak in the middl e of the season. They place d fourth out of seven team s in the Trans-Nebraska Confe rence with a team score of 340.

They defea ted cross town rival North east in a dual 163166, and went on to place third in the city cham pions hip race with an excel lent team score of 328.

Secon d-yea r coach Mr. Bill Myers , was gene rally pleased with the result s of the season, but he was disappointed that the team didn't reach the state meet.

He also stated that next year will be a rebui lding year as three of the five letter ing golfer s will gradu ate, includ ing three -year letter man Linus Smith who finish ed secon d in the Tri-Ci ties Invita tional .

One brigh t spot for the Links next year could be the return of junio r Nick Harm s. Nick finish ed eight h in both the Trans -Nebr aska and the distric t meets this year. Mr..

Harriers Hampered W ith M an y Injuries The 1977 cross count ry team was plagu ed throu ghou t the season by nume rous injurie s. The injuri es varied all the way from a broke n foot, suffer ed by senio r Tim McMe en in the latter part of the season, to junio r Steve DeVo ogd's pulled hams tring musc le. As a result the team was never really able to comp ete at full stren gth.

The harrie r seaso n looked prom ising at the start as five letter men were return ing from last year's squad. By the time the first meet rolled aroun d three of the Links ' top runne rs were alread y out. The Links finish ed a disap pointi ng seven th out of .eight teams . The next week howe ver, the harrie rs were able to run everb ody and· their finish impro ved great ly. They recorded an impress ive third place finish out on nine teams . The Links were led by the second, eighth , and eleve nth place finish es of Tyler Sprou se, Larry Jones and Steve DeVoogd respe ctivel y. The harrie rs went down hill from there . The Links won half of their duals by beatin g West side 20-34 , and York 24-33 , but they failed to place high in any more big meets .

Tyler Spouse prove d to be the bigge st asset for the Links as he ran excep tional ly well all year long and finish ed consi stentl y amon g th~ top ten runne rs. Tyler achie ved meda list honor s in the Nebraska Wesle yan Invita tional , seven th, the Millar d Invita tional , second, the Grand Island Invita tional , ninth , and the Trans Nebra ska Cham pions ip, tenth . Larry Jones , Jim Oppe gard and Kenn y Block er prove d to be the most durab le Links as they were the only harrie rs to comp ete in every meet.

Coach Harol d Scott cited incon sisten t runni ng, injuries and illnes s throu ghou t the seaso n as the major cause s of the Links ' poor perfo rmanc es. Mr. Scott is uncer tain about next year as he is losing seven senio r runne rs. Howe ver, Mr. Scott could have a stron g sopho more crop comin g in as three of the top four ninth grade runne rs in the city could atten d Linco ln High next year.

Senior Netters Have Disappointing Ye ar Unde r the direct ion of first-y ear coach Mr. Patrick Maloy, the tennis team had troub le puttin g toget her victories. The team had its ups and down s all Season.

There were a few fine indivi dual performances, but little team effort until the state tourn amen t. Everyone put it all togeth er at state and the team tied for sixth place.

The Links posted a disap pointi ng 2-8 dual meet record, but this is not indica tive of the talent possessed by the mostl y senio r team. The Links opened their season with two losses, first to East 7-2, and then to Beatrice 5-4. The netter s didn't get untrac ked until the third match of the season when they troun ced Hastin gs 9-0.

In a season that seemed filled with defea t and disap pointm ent, there were some brigh t spots that shine d above every thing else. In the Linco ln Public Schoo ls Tourn amen t, Denn is Scott and Clark Porter won No. 1 doubles to become the city champs. In the Trans Nebraska meet Dave Jacobs, playin g No. 2 singles, was crown ed Trans-Nebraska champ. Earlie r in the season Jacobs teame d up with Stuar t Schaefer durin g the Fremont Invita tional , and the two were runne rs-up playin g No. 2 doubles.

Young Gymnasts Look To wa rd Fu tu re Coach Ray Fallstead feels that the future looks brigh t for a young team of gymn asts who managed only one dual victor y durin g the 1977 campaign.

The Links will lose only two seniors, Mark Beebout and Allen Read, who were the leaders of the team. The gymn asts have eleven under class letter men return ing, five sopho mores and six junior s, and coach Fallstead feels that the return ing letter men form a good nucle us to build next year's squad around.

The Links starte d out their season with a solid eighth place finish out of seventeen teams at the Art Harris Invita tional . Junio r Bryan Horacek, the all-ar ound per- . forme r, was the top finish er for the Links in the meet as he took fourth place in vaulti ng . The gymn asts slipped a little at the Trans-Nebraska meet as they finish ed next to last out of a seven team field. The young gymn asts recorded their only dual victor y of the year over Beatr ice 125.75-12 0.64. At the distric t meet, althou gh the Links failed to qualif y as a team, they did mana ge to qualif y four indivi duals for the state meet; Mark Beebout on the pomm el horse, Bryan Horace~, Tim Cruic kshan k, and Bruce Crow ther in vaulti ng. In the state meet the best finish ers for the Links were Bryan Horacek who placed eleve nth in vaulti ng and Mark Beebout who recorded a fourte enth place finish on the pomm el horse.

Coach Fallstead cited many indivi duals for their outstand ing perfo rmanc es throu ghout the season. Amon g them were; Mark Beebout and John Krebsbach on the pomm el horse, Allen Read on the high bar, Marty Meist er on the rings, Randy Strick ler on the still rings and parall el bars, Bruce Crow ther and Tim Cruic kshan k in valuti ng, and Bryan Horacek in the all-aro und.

Coach Fallstead stated that if this group of young men does more work, he feels that they can be one of the top teams in the state next year.

B-Ballers Fall Short of Preseason Pick

Nathan Woods, sen ior forward , battles for a rebou nd under the basket while Don Ginger and Jeff Johnson look on for the Links.

Before practice for the basketball season had really gotten started the Lincoln Journal and Star had released their preseason prep basketball ratings. On top of this list, holding down the number one spot was Lincoln High . This prediction, based on the fact that the Links had seven players, three of them starters, retur:ning from their state runner-up team of 1976-77, fell short, however, as the Links were ousted in the first round of district play by Southeast, 51-4 7.

The links began their season playing as if they were already state champs. They destroyed Columbus 72-49, humiliated Westside 71-41, and downed Fremont 6452, before losing their first game to Norfolk 58-47. Then the Links ran into some rough water as they could not manage more than one win in a row until late in the season when they beat Hastings, Omaha Tech , and Omaha South in succession . The Links seemed to regain their early season form in their final game as they swamped Grand Island 88-60. But, the Links lost that magic the next week at districts and were beaten in the first round

by Southeast and left with an 11-8 record for the season.

Throughout the year the Links performed better when the competition was as it's best. During the course of the season the Links played ten games against teams that, at one time or another, were rated in the state's top ten.

The Links won seven of these games including a win over Omaha Northwest 63-59, a romp over Southeast 50-28, and a twelve point win over Omaha Tech. The Links also lost by only one point to highly regarded East 53-52.

The Links were led this year by four senior starters; forwards Nathan Woods and Dennis Scott, center Jeff ·Johnson, and guard Ralph McWilliams. Johnson led the team in scoring with 246 points and also grabbed 142 rebounds on the year. Scott was third on the team in scoring as he held the hot shooting hand for most -of the year. Ralph McWilliams, the team's playmaker, led the team in steals, was fifth in scoring, and was selected to the All-City second team. Nathan Woods the only Lincoln High player to be named to the All-City first team was second in scoring and first in rebounding for the Links. Junior transfer, Richard Sheridan was also a big asset for the Links as he pumped in 154 points, mainly from the outside, for the Black and Red. As a team, _the links shot an excellent 44.6 percent from the field and averaged 58.8 points per game while holding their opponents to an average of 51 points. This was the best defensive effort by any Class A team in the state. This was a big plus for the team as the Links outscored their opponents by a total of 87 field goals for the year.

Coach Alden Johnson cited fouls and turnovers at inopportune times as the two major downfalls of the Links throughout the season.

Coach Johnson commented that the team's record of 11-8 was respectable but disappointing because they were hoping for a return to the State Tournament.

JV 's Experience Up An d Do wn Se as on The 1977 -1978 boys reser ve basketball team had troub le keeping their heads above water from week to week .- The team possessed -all of the talent and desire neces sary to win, but half of the time they failed to play, as a team, up to their poten tial, and thus the reason for their medio cre 8-8 record.

The Links put a·11 the right ingre dients toget her the openi ng week and destro yed Colum bus 61-33 . The next week they easily handl ed West side 56-36 . After back to back losses to Frem ont and Norfo lk the JV's beat Beatr ice, North Platte, and North east in successive week s. A loss to Omah a North west and a victor y over Kearn ey left the Links with a very respectable 6-3 record. Then the Links settle d into a slump , losing their next four games. They mana ged to regroup, howe ver, in time to win two of their last three game s and finish the seaso n at the .500 mark.

The team was led all year long by their two sopho more cente rs, Derric k Hull and Bill Szalawiga. Hull led the team with 238 point s and was second to Szalawiga in rebou nding with 146 for the year. Szalawiga was second in scoring for the team with 199 total points , and led the team in rebou nding by pullin g down 148 on the year. Other fine perfo rmers for the Links were: Antho ny Riley, who was third on the team in scorin g with 92 point s and tied for the lead in assis ts with Szala wiga with 22; Rodney Ballar d, who was third in rebou nding and fifth in scorin g; and Scott Fiedle r who was the playmake r for the reser ves and finish ed the season with 16 assist s.

Botts also grabbed 81 rebou nds on the year . Zollic offer shot 38 perce nt from the field while avera ging a team leading 10.3 points per game .

Wrestlers Take The Good With The Bad The 1977-1978 grapplers lacked the consistenc y and confidence to win their dual meets, but on the strength of some excellent individual performan ces they managed to place well in some of the large tournamen ts.

The Links finished the season with a 2-7 dual meet record. Their only victories were recorded over Beatrice, 34-20, and cross-town rival Lincoln East, 32-12.

The matmen experienced better luck in the invitationals than in their dual competitio ns. At the TransNebraska Champion ship the Links placed a solid fourth out of seven teams. The Black and Red was led by Rocky Carter, 105 lbs., Bob Warta, 185 lbs., and Mark Steer, heavyweig ht, who ail won gold meda Is for the Links. The grapplers also placed fourth in the district meet as six wrestlers qualified for the state meet. Jose Rodriguez, 126 lbs., Skip Madsen, 132 lbs., Todd Roth, 138 lbs., Rustin Hitz, 145 lbs., and Mark Steer in the heavyweig ht class all qualified for the state competitio n . Bob Warta who was the district champion at 185 lbs. also qualified for the state meet. Bob was the only Lincoln High wrestler to medal at state, as he finished th ird.

Coach Harold Simpson felt that the underclass men gained the knowledge and experience needed to become winners in the future. He also pointed out that the team started out slowly, but did an excellent job toward the end of the season.

Things look bright next year for the matmen as they have eight returning lettermen who will be joined by a strong reserve squad which posted a 6-3 dual meet record in addition to winning the city crown.

Tankers Perform Well; Look For Better The Lincoln High boys swimmers fared better during the 1977-1978 campaign than they have in the past few years. The tankers finished the season with a 3-6 dual meet record which is their best mark in four years.

The Links posted dual victories over Grand Island, Norfolk, and Hastings. In addition to their dual victories the Links placed third at the Lincoln High School Relays, fourth at the Trans-Nebraska Meet, and twelfth at the State Meet.

The team roster was bolstered by many underclass men. These young tenth and eleventh graders helped give the team the added depth they needed to record some dual victories this past season.

The Links were led this year by junior letterman Mark Hammer. Mark swam the individual medley, butterfly, and some distance freestyle for the Links and consistent ly placed high . Mark was one of four members of the Lincoln High swim team to qualify for the State Meet this year and made a fine showing by placing tenth in the 200 yd. individual medley, and twelfth in the 100 yd . butterfly.

Rick Keller, a senior, also made it to state and competed in the 100 yd. breaststrok e where he finished eleventh.

Diving was one of the strongest areas for the tankers as they had three excellent divers. Brad Jameson, Randy Strickler, and Allen Read were all fine performers throughou t the year. Brad and Randy, both juniors, took sixth and seventh respectivel y at the State Meet in their specialty.

Other strong performers for the Links throughou t the season included seniors Dave Ells, Mark Mueller, Ross Pittman, and Greg Shriner. Several underclass men such as: Jim Fiedler, Jon Foote, and Ed Kieff make things look bright for the future.

Coach Gene Cotter felt that the team made a lot of progress through the season and improved a great deal.

Coach Cotter also feels that next year's team will be much stronger and better.

Girls 8-B all Rebuilds For Next Season The 1977-1978 girls basketball team faced the tough assignmen t of building a team around only three returning letterwome n, seniors Robyn Ginger and Carol Nun, and junior Liz Mannix.

In spite of their lack of varsity playing time the young Links were able to post a record of eight wins and eleven losses. Coach Bill Myers felt that the team received alot of help from the girls who moved up from the reserve squad of last year.

In the first outing of the year the Links stomped Beatrice, 66-31 . The 66 points scored by the girls was the most scored since the girls began playing basketball back in the 1974-1975 season.

The most points scored in one game was not the only record broken this past season. Junior sensation Liz Mannix set four new school records. Liz set records for the most points scored in a single season, 272; the most points scored in one game, 22; the most rebounds in a single season, 171; an·d the most rebounds in one game, 18. Senior guard Robyn Ginger, not to be out done, also set a school record for the most assists in a single season with 58. Other strong performers for the Links were senior Carol Nun, juniors Jeanne Matzke, Deb Cirksena, and ..Jill Rump, and sophomore Carol Dockter.

Two highlights of the season were a win over highly regarded Westside, 4 7-46, and a victory over Southeast, 36-31.

The future looks bright for the gals as only four seniors will be lost to graduation . Coach Bill Myers is pleased to point out that eight letterwome n will return for next year's campaign.

JV 's Learn In Preparation For Va rs ity With all but two members of the 1977 -1978 girls reserve -basketball team being sophomores, coach Pat Winbl ade felt they did a fine job. Not only in the winloss column, but in gainin g the experience and confidence needed to make the varsity squad in the next two years .

The girls added some extra wins to their record to go with their new expanded schedule this past season.

Last year the team played thirte en games and won five. This year the girls had fiftee n starts and won seven of those.

The Links started the season like gangbusters. First they disposed of Columbus, 37-14 . Then they went on to swam p Omaha Tech 55-17 . After a loss to Fremont the JV girls posted two more wins over Beatrice and North Platte, and the girls were off to a 4-1 start. A tough schedule throu gh the rema inder of the season hurt the Links as they could only manage three more wins out of ten starts, to finish the year 7-8.

The JV's were led by Carla Frauen and Pam McW illiams . Carla played a forwa rd and threw in a total of 94 for the year. Pam also canned a total of 94 points while playing cente r for the team.

Coach Pat Winb lade pointed out that the main objective of the reserve program was to develop each player's basic basketball skills, and to· build the confidence of each player. She also aqded that there was a strong emphasis put on teamwork.

Lack Of Depth Detrimental To Thinclads

Junior Nkere Udofia stretch es out to a second place finish in the long jump at the Millard Relays .

The 1978 boys track team lacked the necessary depth to compete up to the stand ards set by past Linco ln High School teams. The thincl ads recorded the small est turnout for the sport ever at Linco ln High.

The team had some strong junior and senio r letter men return ing from last year's team, but the iack of intere st by new under class men hurt the teal')1's chanc es for a successful season. The small turno ut left many gaps in the runni ng events for the Links. ·The bad • weath er also damaged the Links chances as they could not get on the track until after their first meet.

The '78 Links were strong in the field events, especially in the weigh t depar tment . Kurt Glath ar, who accepted a footba ll schol arship to the Unive rsity of Nebraska, was the prem ier shot putte r for the Links. Junio r Tim Garrison was also strong in the shot put. Senio r Jeff Johnson helped the team great ly with his strong effort s in the discuss throw . The long jump also proved to be one of the best events for the tracksters, as they were led by Nkere Udofia and Greg Quarells.

In the runni ng events, althou gh depth was lacking, there were still some good comp etitive effort s turne d in by the Links. Senio r Micha el Rife led the sprint ers, and demo nstrat ed great dedic ation in practice. Denn is Scott and Tyler Sprouse ran strong in the middl e distan ce races, while Larry Jones and Steve DeVoogd competed well in the longe r distances. Anoth er brigh t perfo rmer for the Links was Derric k Hull. Derrick, only a sophomore, competed in the high jump,-long jump, and triple jump .

Girl s Look For Ano ther Stro ng Season The 1978 girls track team was looking forward to another strong season coming off two runner-up finishes in the last two years at the State Meet. Much of last years state runner-up team was retained to lead the gals again in 1978.

The girls lacked depth in some events, but they made up for it with hard work and determina tion. This lack of numbers hurt the Links in dual competitio n, but had no effect in the bigger meets.

Although the Links lost their state champion discuss thrower, Robin Hruby, the weight events still proved to be one of the strongest areas for the Links. They were led by seniors Julie McEwen and Karen Wilson, who both placed high in the State Meet last year, and junior Tina Schoonover.

The distance running events were just as strong as the weights for the Links as two-time state champion in the mile, Theresa Schoonover, returned to lead the gals.

Senior Carol Stephens also showed her worth to the team by her excellent performan ces throughou t the season. Sophomores Cindy Scaggs and Debbi Borer also competeq well for the Links.

The competitio n faced by the Links was tough all year long. Scottsbluf f and Grand Island were two · of the strongest teams faced by the Links during the season.

Zuspan Fills Roster With New com ers Head coach Bill Zuspan faced the difficult task of building the 1978 baseball team around only two returning lettermen. Senior Dan Gerlach and junior Brian Grell were the only players returning from the 1977 squad.

The lack of experience on the squad was by far the biggest problem faced by the Links this past year. The only returning letter winners, Dan Gerlach, senior short stop, and Brian Grell, outfielder, left the Links with seven big holes in their starting lineup.

Coach Zuspan pointed out that pitching was one of the biggest question marks at the beginning of the season.

The team had no varsity playing time in the pitching department heading into the season, and this was a major conc_e rn of Mr. Zuspan. But, coach Zuspan added, that the pitching staff worked hard and came along well during the year.

The hope for the baseball team was placed squarely on the shoulders of the juniors and sophomore s who moved up from the reserve squad of last year and they responded very respectably. These players took over and filled in the vacant spots that were left by the graduating seniors very well, commente d coach Zuspan.

Some of the outstandin g performers for the Links this past year, besides Gerlach and Grell, were seniors, Tom Fuller, Jim Oppegard, and Rod Vlcek, and juniors Jeff Salomons, and Doug Moore.

Although the experience of the baseball team was slight, the enthusiasm of the team was not lacking. Over 90 boys came out for the varisty, reserve, and sophomore squads combined.

JV's , Sophs Get Experience For Varsity Second-ye ar coach Larry Frost, who also coaches varsity football in the fall, led his 1978 reserve baseball squad into the season with high spirits and high hopes.

The team felt that they had a good chance at the city title if they played up to their potential throughou t the season.

At the beginning of the season coach Frost commented that the pitching, which is always important, seemed to be one of the strong points of the junior Links.

The Links catchers also did an excellent job during the year.

The JV's were led by two juniors; Scott Fiedler and Dave Hamersky led the Links with their tough, aggressive play and their constant hustle.

The sophomore baseball team had a new head coach for the 1978 season. Mr. Pappas was at the helm for the sophs during the '78 campaign .

Some of the standouts for the sophs were Doug Gies, first base, Dale Nichols, catcher, Jim Bade, outfield, and Eric Bishop on th ird base.

The only teams played by the sophomore s were the other three Lincoln schools, but competitio n against other Lincoln schools has always been tough , and this year was no exception.

Netters Lack Experience; Sho w Desire The 1978 girls tennis team was built around three returning letterwome n from a fine 1977 squad.

Seniors Andrea Rugg and Dee Weixelman , and junior letterwoma n Becky Herrick made up the nucleus of the 1978 team.

Second-year coach Cheryl Henry was very pleased with the turnout this year as 32 girls tried out for the team. Coach Henry commente d that she had high hopes for the season because all of the girls who checked out were willing to work very hard. Coach Henry also added that she hoped this attitude would continue throughou t the season and even into next year.

Andrea, Dee, and Becky were all strong performers for the Links this year . Andrea and Dee were both praised for their excellent services, and Becky earned praise for her steady, consistent play all season. Other strong performers for the gals were juniors Stacey Porter, Ann Kopischke, and Andra Purkalitis.

Coach Henry felt that the toughest competitio n of the season came from the other city schools. Southeast and East, especially, provided some stiff competition for the young Links.

The gals should have a strong team next year as they are losing only two seniors to graduation . All the other girls will return next year for the 1979 campaign, and should provide the experience lacked this season .
