Whenever two or more gather

Noises mean staff at work

Putting down a year's memories on paper in an organized and hopefully captivating fashion was the job of the Links' staff this year. Every school day, during fifth period, eleven students and one advisor met in room 308 in order to serve this purpose, and many hours were also spent after school and on weekends to meet deadlines. It was interesting to hear the sounds emitted when two or more staff members gathered in one place. There was serious discussion, a lot of laughter, paper crumpling, diligent typing, frustrated crying, _and sometimes swearing. But all of these added up in the production of the book.

This year's staff was unique in that it only had eleven members. This is the smallest staff in Lincoln and probably one of the smallest in Nebraska. The staff was smaller because Advisor Lee Johnson thought a smaller staff could do a good job, if it were organized right The staff consisted of a head editor, three writers and their editor, two layout people and their editor, two photographers, a business manager, and an advisor. Only two of them had been on the staff the year before, but it didn't take them long to settle into the routine of things.

One helpful aspect was that five of the new members attended a journalism workshop over the summer which gave an overview of everything involved in high school newspapers and yearbooks. It is • held every summer and is sponsored by the Nebraska High School Press Association. They held many workshops and several contests in which Lincoln High did very well.-The workshop helped by giving those who attended an idea of everything involved in the production of a yearbook, so that they didn't begin the year with no idea of the work they would be doing.

Whether they were writers, layout people, photographers, or the business manager, all of the jobs overlapped. Each person did some work in every area, which make the book a group accomplishment rather than a bunch of individual projects.

The staff members this year were: Brian Everman, Alan Fenn, Jon Riecke, Troy Johnson, Chris Babb, Kevin Fullerton, Beth Amedeo, Cora Lou Baker, Tammi White, Sara Thomassen, Sherry Cain, and Lee Johnson.

All in all, the 1981-82 Links' staff was the story of twelve people who worked and played together and came up with a book telling of a year's memories "Unk By Link."

Student Council benefits all

Lincoln High, just like a city or nation, has its own form of submitting news to the Links Letter every month. And just last year government that is elected by the students That government is the a new award was created by the Student Council to recognize Student Council , which meets every day during fifth period.

Struggles and the dance Homecoming stifled

October 2, 1981 - "a day that will live in infamy." These may not be the appropriate words, but they do describe the feelings of many Lincoln High School seniors who attended the last of their Homecoming Festivities, and also to many underclassmen who attended their first

The · Homecoming football game of this year was quite a turnabout from the last year's upset against the Southeast Knights. U-1S suffered a depressing loss against Grand Island.

Throughout the day, mounting anxiety over the big game could be felt all around the school building. When it came time for the opening kick-off, the Lincoln High fans were filled with high hopes for a LHS victory.

As the game continued, it seemed that the Lincoln High gridders just were not able to get things together. The Islanders were a physically much larger team and appeared to overpower the Links. At the conclusion of the first half, the Links were trailing far behind the Islanders.

The half-time show seemed to help pull the Lincoln High fans out of their depression.

During the show, the distinguished alumni were escorted out onto the field by Student Council members Following their introduction, the Homecoming Court was announced. This year's Queen was Cheryl Sterling and the King was Pat Brown. The attendants were Vicki Kuehn, Renee Fox, Amy Ellenwood, Kim Carson, Dave Fiala, Dave Edwards, Pat Wensel, and Ron Galois.

After the ceremonial crowning of the king and queen, the Pomalinks performed a routine while the band played.

The second half of the game did not go much better than the first. The final score was Lincoln High 7, Grand Island 42. Though they never quite got things rolling, the Links football team never lost the support and pride of the LHS fans.

The Homecoming Dance was somewhat different this year than in previous years.

First, the dance was held immediately after the game, rather than on the following evening.

Student Council Vice-President, Anne Buntain, said, "Attendance is much better when the dance follows the game."

Another change was the music. Instead of a live band, the student Council hired Sound Unlimited, a disk jockey.

"You can never be sure of a band," said Buntain. "The disk jockey was much more successful."

One of the biggest changes at the dance concerned the Homecoming Court. It had always been a tradition to introduce the Court and announce the King and Queen at the dance. This year it was felt that the Court received enough recognition at the game during half-time, so the King and Queen simply had the solo dance to the theme song, "Forever Autumn."

Planning for the Homecoming celebration began early for the members of Student Council. Many hours were spent discussing decorations, themes, music, order of events, how things were to be run and many other related activities. Although the game was not as successful as people had hoped, the dance seemed to pick up a little bit of the slack left behind. Thanks to Student Council , Homecoming was a success.

in a category of their own, and also extremely rowdy! Much of the spirit of fans at games is due to the band. They can be counted on to cheer loudly, even when the team is behind.

One game the drummers got together and decided to do something somewhat different, so they played on their backs and got a rousing cheer from the crowd. These and other similar things made the band a special group.

Quite a bit of the credit has to go to John Ulrich, the band director. He is in charge of keeping about 115 students organized, and also directs them. He is always willing to spend as much time as is

This is especially true during wet weather when the field the ,band • used to march on turns completely to mud, which is hard to march on and leaves a person dirty. "You can always tell when marching band is over because girls come in nicer clothes," said Ulrich.

The band council is in charge of making all the decisions that pertain to marching, practices, routines, and trips. On it, along with Alan Worster, are senior Andy Chisolm, junior Becky Pankers, and • sophomore Brooke Baker. Mr. Ulrich has the job of advising them.

From Art Club members

Imagination flows

Future Picassos and Michaelangelos combine their talents in the Lincoln High School Art Club. The dub met every Thursday throughout the school year with Mrs. Anita Ross and Ms. Rose Kotwas as sponsors. Of course, all of the members had a high interest in art.

Each year the dub members decide what their plans for the year will be. Last year they took a trip to Chicago. This year, the club had guest speakers, went to visit museums, and was involved in some community activities.

The Art Club widens a student's interests in art. Students interested in art are given a chance to meet one another. They are also able to do things they would not have had a chance to do during class time. As expressed by Art Club member Deb Omel, the purpose of Art Club is "to continue your interest in art beyond regular school classes."

At the Art Club meeting on Thursday, October 22, 1981, Bonnie Ostdick, an artist who specializes in Chinese brush painting was the guest speaker. She explained some of the history of this kind of painting. Chinese brush painting is a tradition ~e that expresses the feelings of the artist. She also demonstrated the basic techniques involved in that kind of painting. These techniques involved simplicity, the importance of each brush stroke, not to paint the whole page, and the special type of brush stroke.

After the demonstration was over, the dub cnembers practiced the newly-learned techniques by themselves. Even the art teachers got into the act. Some members struggled along, but to others, it seemed to come naturally. However, no one seemed to mind how well they did. It was all in fun. And hopefully, each member went home from the meeting with something to remember. Perhaps he or she will use this new-found knowledge in a future career as an artist. Who knows how many future artists will come from this group?

A learning year Staff gains skills

Looking around room 310 second period, a variety of activities are taking place. In one comer of the room a group of people are clustered around Advocate Editor Kenney Loos, criticizing other school newspapers. The staff felt that being the best paper around is important, and they work all year in hopes of being highly-rated by the Nebraska High School Press Association. The rest of the Advocate staff is working on stories or joking among themselves.

The Advocate staff consisted of 20 people, meeting daily during second period. They put out 12 papers during the school year.

This year, the staff was inexperienced; therefore, they concentrated on keeping the quality of the newspaper. They also tried to improve some things from last year. They covered more widespread topics, including community events, not just schoolrelated ideas. A new feature this year was an entertainment column. Hopefully, this has interested the students more.

The paper had a new teacher/advisor, Carolynn Goodwin. It was her first year putting out a high school newspaper. She said ¢at now she can "aappreciate the work everyone does" on the paper. "Reporting is only a small part", Miss Goodwin said about the production of the paper. It is really a "total effort" by everyone involved.

Students on the Advocate staff generally agreed that working on the paper was fantastic. Amy Fuller (photographer and feature writer) commented, "It's a lot of hard work, but when the paper comes out you feel like you did something that's really worthwhile."

Everyone on the staff had to cope with deadlines, and it was not always easy. Laurie Haas (reporter) said, "Sometimes it's hard to meet your deadlines." However, the work eventually got done, but this often meant staying after school very late on the day of the deadline.

Some staff members mentioned that working on the paper is not as easy as some students think The staff felt that all their hours of hard work should be appreciated bythe Lincoln High School student body and that everyone should read the paper.

Staff writers had to have one semester of journalism class. This meant that they began the year with a basic understanding of what a newspaper staff does. However, throughtout the entire year the staff constantly learns more about their work. Therefore, since there were many juniors on this year's staff, LHS looks forward to having an even better paper next year.

Practice brings Motivation 1abounds

Practice. Practice. Practice. Why is it important? Because practice is the only way for Prep Jazz Band members to improve enough to be chosen for the Varsity Jazz Band. Some Prep Band members have played an instrument for seven years, however, according to Band Director John Ulrich, not all Prep members want to be in Varsity. Nevertheless, many of the students he selects each year accept his offer.

Prep Jazz Band consisted of 15 members. The basic purpose of the class was to train members for the Varsity Jazz Band, of which Mr. Ulrich ~lects people on the basis of each member's perform• ance over the entire year. He does not believe in a tryout system. Students also learned the different forms of jazz and improvisational skills which they displayed in their performance on October 26.

Sophomore Tracy Borgman believes that some people are misled about what jazz music really is. "It's more than tempo that determines jazz music." Also, the instruments involved in the jazz band are somewhat different than those in the LHS band. For example, the Prep Band has a bass guitar and the LHS band does not. Jazz band members do not restrict themselves to playing only jazz music. Most members are also in the LHS band.

Many reasons are given for participating in prep Jaiz Band. Sophomore Randy Okra participates because his father played jazz music. But whatever the reason, members obviously enjoy jazz music.

The sound of music Their harmony converges ·here

"Hmmmm mmmmm " No, it is not the soundtrack from the movie, The Swann Rather, it is the familiar sound of the seventy-six members of Lincoln High' s Concert Choir warming up for their first song.

LH S students and faculty members were given their first oppo rtunity to observe the efforts of the Concert Choir at a double as se mb ly h eld October 28. The assemblies were ~eld for this and o n e other purpose.

" They were sort of a dress rehearsal. We were getting ready to perform at Ralston the next day," said Concert Choir President Ken Hammer.

The students had been preparing themselves for a concert that they gave for the Conference of the Nebraska Choral Directors' Association. The preparation had begun with the start of school.

"You couldn't ask to go," said Hammer. "A group had to be chosen. We were one of two high schools invited to sing at the conference."

Lincoln High, along with East High, were the only two high schools in Lincoln asked to perform

Concert Choir, and many other singing groups had to try out for the honor. A tape was sent and from those tapes , the groups to perform were chosen.

Director Joe Skutchan decided what songs were to be sung

Along with performing, the Concert Choir also participates in competition and choral festivals. Toward the end of the third quarter, the Choir puts on a musical. Only choir members are allowed to try out for singing parts.

When looking for a few words to describe the 1981-82 Concert Oloir, one probably thinks of busy, busy, busy!!! •

Swingers in music They move to beat, go with the flow

Tonal quality, ability to sight-read music and dancing skills are all a part of being a member of the Lincoln High Varsity Swing Choir.

Tryouts are held in the spring of the preceding year for which the student is trying out. Not only are the students required to sing for tryouts, but they ~lso must dance.

"The graduating seniors make up a dance routine for us. We then perform the routine in groups of about four. The seniors judge the dance," said senior member Robin Drayer.

On October 29, along with the Concert Choir, the Varsity Swing Oioir performed at the Conference of the Nebraska Choral Directors' Association.

"We were the only swing choir that performed at the confer· ence," commented Drayer.

Director Julie Knowles and choreographer Becky Hanson work very closely with the twelve members of Varsity Swing Choir.

"Mrs. Knowles doesn't decide what we sing," said Drayer. "It's a group decision."

Along with performing at conferences, the Swing Choir held concerts for the school, sang at the Kiwanis Pancake Feed at Pershing Auditorium, held co~certs at churches and sang at Gateway at Christmas.

Singing soprano for Swing Choir was Tammy Lyman, Bobbi Scheerger and Lisa Rolfsmeier. The altos were Peggy Gaube, Robin Drayer and Kim Wymore.

For the guys, tenors were Pat Wensel, Lance McCord, and Gary Oiubbuck Basses were Kenny Hammer, Todd Hildenbrand and Bruce Brady.

Becoming a star Talent combined

It may take a long time to become a star on Broadway or in Hollywood, but Lincoln High offers a chance to become a star on the stage for two nights. That chance is the annual All-School Play which, this year, was "The Front Page." Hundreds of details went into its production, including such things as costumes, makeup, set, props, lighting , publicity, and sound, not to mention directing and acting.

The first step was to choose the cast. Director and Lincoln High Drama Teacher Charles Fichthom held a series of tryouts on October 6th and 7th with a callback on the 8th. Tryouts are usually very informal , with the person who wants a part reading the lines on stage. The cast is then chosen from the best actors and actresses who tried out.

In addition to the large cast, another odd fact about " The Front Page" lay in the inexperience of the cast JY\any people had no previous acting background, and Mr. Fichthom blamed it on the lack of interest in taking drama classes. Much of the building of the set and training of the actors must then come from the director. A member of the set crew and the cast, Jill Holbert, agreed. Stagecraft, a class which previously had handled much of the set building, was dropped this year. Because of this, Jill said the set crew was "ten times busier."

It wasn ' t just the set crew that was busy, but the whole production staff and actors alike. Mr. Fichthom estimated that over 1200 man-hours are spent on the production of a single play! For many dedicated members of the play, this meant some strange hours. Some, like Jill Holbert, would come right down to the drama room right after school during the last two weeks of the play, then go straight to rehearsal at about 6:30. Rarely did they get home to eat supper during those last frantic weeks. Rehearsals would last until 9:30 or 1000 at night, and then it was home for a quick meal and some sleep. The heavy burden of the hours can put both a physical and mental strain on all those involved with the play.

And so rehearsal after rehearsal, the show moved closer to opening night The publicity crew advertised all over town, the prop crew collected every prop they needed, the makeup crew perfected their art, the lighting and sound crews made sure they knew every cue, and the actors practiced and practiced their lines. Finally, after six weeks of hard work, the play opened on Thursday, November 12.

"The Front Page" is a satire of the newspaper business. It depicts Hildy Johnson, played by Brian Everman, as a reporter who is desperately trying to leave his job. When a big story breaks, a ludicrous prison escape, Hildy is caught between the life he wants and his own desire to write the biggest story in centuries.

A thousand things go on at once on the stage, which made this play an extremely hard one to direct, according to Mr. Fichthom. JY\any other schools never even consider putting on such a complicated play. For example, the very first scene contained two conversations: a poker game and a telephone call. With several actors talking at once, it is very hard for the actor to hear exactly when he comes in.

And so, another fall play was performed at Lincoln High. All of the work, all of the rehearsals, and all of the devoted people did make "The Front Page" a special play. This year's All-School Play will not be forgotten.

Mini-political arena

Politics thrill them

The thrill of politics-the shaking of hands, the promises that are made-all of these wonderful ingredients are a part of the annual County Government Day. Those who run and win the election get the privilege of spending one day at the City-County Building, watching the person who holds the office that they were elected to go about his or her routine. For those who lose. . . well, they can always run for Congress when they become twenty-five.

For a few people, it's the campaigning that excites them. Georg Meller, an exchange student from Germany, was definitely one of those people: Almost everyone who ran did some campaigning, whether it was putting up signs in the halls or handing out buttons. A few, of course, did more than others. But for Georg, the competition wasn't too tough. He was the only one who ran for County Assessor.

For other people, like Bruce Tiff, the job lured them in to run for an office. Bruce ran for County Engineer, which according to him, "has one of the larger budgets" in the county.

County Government Day took place on November 18. Along with students from Lincoln High, eight other high schools from around Lancaster County were represented. The day began at 8:00 with a drive down to the City-County Building. They wandered around, talking with the officials and other students, until the swearing-in ceremony. Each student took the oath of their office and then watched a film about jury duty. Then it was back to the offices for another look around, and next to the Legionnaire Club for a fine dinner. The last part of the afternoon was spent in the specific offices that they had run for. The whole day was sponsored by the American Legion.

Although each person had a different idea of what County Government Day would be like, most of them liked at least one part of the day's festivities. Who knows? The forty-fifth President of the United States could have taken their first oath of office on November 18, 1981.

" Sharon , I'm gonna kill oh , hi Tommy! How' s biology with Compton?-! blew it-Uh , wouldyouliketogotoTurkeyBallwithmeSaturdaynight? ''

And so another chance is taken in the dating game. When the chilling gales of November wh i stle in the willows , and Thanksgiving draws nigh , Turkey Ball is the subject of much anticipation and frustration in the minds of the girls at LHS. It is a time that a girl must ask a guy to a dance if she wants to go , because the guys can't ask the girls. Perhaps the males around the school can see things somewhat from the girls ' side and wonder if they' ll get asked. That , of course, is a matter concerning the male ego.

Turkey Ball was held November 21 in the East Gym with audio stimuli (that's music, kids) provided by Sound Unlimited. A committee of about" 13 junior girls decorated with streamers, door prizes, an impressive punch fountain and various other turkey-like _things in spirit of the time. Katie Barron, who organized the festivities of this year, said simply, " Everyone had a good time. "

With good music , casual " blue jean" atmosphere and plenty of ambitious ladies , (and willing gentlemen) the Turkey Ball drew a large crowd of happy turkeys.

Desiring better Goal is perfection

If you have ever dreamed of being a performer, Varsity Jazz Band is something to consider. Of course, there are some basic requirements to fulfill. First and most importantly, you must have a lot of talent, and secondly, you must have a good attitude and be willing to work hard.

Varsity Jazz Band consisted of 23 members, and met daily as a class. The main purpose of the band was, of course, to perform which they did on November 16. The Varsity Band could be seen playing on the U-1S mall, at open house, ball games, grade schools, • junior highs, dances, and many other places.

There were only two females in the band this year: Julia Eilers and Michelle Maxey. This does not mean that the women did not play well. In fact, Julia Eilers plays more than one instrument.

•Varsity Jazz Band member Ken Meints has played the trombone for five years. According to him, the band worked about a week on each new song. A few of the songs in each concert might be the same, but the band also worked on new material for each performance.

Several of the members also practiced about an hour a day outside of class time. In addition, all but two of the Varsity Jazz band members belonged to the U-1S band. Such dedication to music by the band members helped to make the year a success. Julia Eilers commented, "I felt that this year's Varsity Jazz Band was about the best I have ever seen them."

Comrades' goal

Befriending LHS

Comrades is a word that is often associated with the U.S.S.R. However the Comrades at Lincoln High are not Russians nor are they a communist organization plotting to overtake the school. Their real purpose is "to get new students and the community in touch with the school ," as the group' s President Cora Lou Baker said. They make people feel welcome and try to get them involved.

An event that really does the job of keeping the community in touch with the school is the Open House. November 18th, from 5-8 p.m., the doors of Lincoln High were open to invite anyone in that wanted to see what went on within them. Bake sales, slide presentations, displays, demonstrations, tours, and many other events took place that showed what clubs and departments did.

The theme was "Lincoln High: A Good Place to Be." It was the perfect highlight for American Education Week Its theme and purpose directly coincided with the goals of Comrades.

The club sponsors were Lorraine Sutton, Linda Crump, Barb Phalen, and Beverly Hillman. Along with Cora Lou Baker, the officers were Troy McConaughey, Matt Benorden, and Julie Vader. The club consists of about 35 students.

The club participates in a variety of activities. They organize dinners for new students once in awhile. They act as hosts, such as when they escorted the distin~uished alumni this year. Like many other clubs, they sell things throughout the year and work in the concession stand at games in order to raise money.

Comrades is basically a service organization representing Lincoln High The name comes from its literal meaning: a friend; a close companion. It has nothing to do with Russia; however if any Russians do transfer to Lincoln High, or just come for a visit, Comrades will probably be the first to welcome ther:n

Revitalization brings Sensational sound

It was not just another year for Advanced Girls Chorus. They got a new name and an image to go with it. They are now the "Soundsations."

The reason behind the name was that Mrs. Julie Knowles wanted the group to have more prestige. A lot of people were under the false belief that the chorus consisted of Concert Choir rejects. Some of the girls were in both Concert Choir and Girls Chorus. Others just weren't interested in being in Concert Choir, however.

This year, in order to promote the new image, the group bought dresses. They were short, red, and added a more professional look. As Lynette Day said, "It's a lot better now that we look like more of an important group."

Lori Adams, who's been involved in singing since junior high, said of the class, "It's a fun class. She's (Mrs. Knowles) building it up every year."

In order to be in the Soundsations, which is a year long class, one must be a junior or senior and try out.

Once accepted, the girls quickly realize that the class involves more than just sitting around singing songs an hour a day. Junior Cindy Earnest says they learn pronunciation, projection, and tone quality. She enjoys the class and also thinks that she has learned a lot.

Mrs. Knowles exposes the girls to a wide variety of types of music. One kind of music they took a careful look at was modern jazz which gets looked over in many chorus classes.

With the new ideas added to Advanced Girls Chorus, they definitely turned out ... shall we say ... "Soundsational."

A medieval style night Feaste enchants

A meal fit for a king-a real king that is, complete with jesters, singers, and beggars perfectly describes the annual Madrigal F easte. This year the Lincoln High Madrigal Singers, under the direction of Mr. Joe Skutchan, presented a night of merriment on December 4 at the East Campus Student Union.

Before the first beggar can con a penny, three months of planning must go into the Madrigal Feaste's production. On the very first day of school the Madrigal Singers start practicing the medieval style of mu sic, according to member Mick Dyer. "It's as much work as a play," said Mick, but ;:ill the preparation culminates in one two-hour performance.

Of course, all the hard work in learning medieval Christmas music, more music than is needed for the Feaste, is used more than once. In fact, the week before Christmas vacation the Madrigals performed ten times!

•

Besides the Madrigals, it is a big night for other groups as well. One of these groups, the LHS Mime Troupe, consisting of Judy Thiem, Julia Eilers, Bill Stone, and Kevin Fullerton, came clad in makeup and black tights. The mimes added a touch of class as they mimicked people and made other assorted gestures.

Nowhere in Lincoln does another school group put on a night of food and fun in this style as the Lincoln High Madrigal Singers. What better way is there to get in the Christmas mood than to be kissed for a penny by some horrible beast, or to listen to the herald about table manners? No place else but the Madrigal Feaste.

Future Mozarts Experience gained

"It's a totally different sound," replied junior Chris Gordon. The LHS Orchestra differs from the band in that it is smaller and includes string instruments as well as brass and woodwinds. Classical music, such as that written by Mozart and Beethoven, was played at the winter concert on Decem ber 21, as well as other · concerts given by the Orchestra during the school year.

With their interest in music beginning early in life, members of the Orchestra often play more than one instrument Coming from a musical family, Chris Gordon ' s involvement with music • began when she was five years old. Since then , she has played the piano, French horn , and string bass and now concentrates on the violin.

Encouragement from his parents started senior Alan Fenn playing the piano in the third grade and the string bass in the fifth grade. The string bass currently captures his interest.

A lifetime interest in music began when Jon Paul startecf playing the violin 13 years ago. He has played other instruments, but the violin continues to be his main area of concentration.

Their strong backgrounds in music have given each of them ideas of what·to do after graduation. Music therapy is one possibility for Chris. Audio-engineering is the goal of Alan. Planning to continue with music, Jon hopes to some day play in such places as Boston, New York, and Chicago.

Tunes move here

Inspiring melodies

For some people it is difficult to chew gum and walk at the same time. Such is not, and cannot , be the case for the sixteen members of the Lincoln High School Sophomore Swing Choir.

Students try out for Sophomore Swing Choir in the spring of their ninth grade year. Music Director Mr. Joseph Skutchan travels from junior high to junior high , scouting out young students who show an interest and a talent for singing and dancing.

" Mr. Skutchan judged us on the singing ," said Brooke Baker. " If he liked your voice , you were called back to try out for the dancing. The old Sophomore Swing Choir judged us on the dancing. "

Contrary to popular belief, Swing Choir is not one of the easiest classes offered at Linco l n High

" We usually have one week to learn and memorize our part in a song, " said Brooke. " The following week we start putting choreography to it. "

Along with perfecting their own personal talents , the students must work with each other and their talents in order to make a show successful.

"Sometimes things get out of hand ," said another member Jordan DeGrazia, " but for the most part , we really work well together. "

Belonging to the Sophomore Swing Choir does not guarantee the student a spot on the Varsity Swing Choir.

" In the spring , if we would want to be on Varsity Swing Choir, we would have to try out all over again, " said Brooke.

The Sophomore Swing Choir sings many different types of songs.

" Mr. Skutchan decides what songs we sing ," said Jordan. " I • suppose if somebody suggested a song we could probably sing it, but it's never come up yet. "

Tuning the voice Girls' songs arise

Swelling strains of songs rising i n the auditorium could be heard on December 14 at Lincoln High On that night, the Girls' Chorus, under the direction of Mrs Julie Knowles, performed along with the Sophomore Swing Choir in true holiday tradition

The program got under way with " Silver Bells ," putting the audience in the festive mood After two mq_re songs, alto Andrea • McWilliams sang a solo on " The Christmas Song ," which was followed by one more selection and the finale , " A Marshmallow World. "

The Girls ' Chorus consists of-you guessed it-girls They are divided into three sections (two soprano and one alto) with 76 voices total.

One of those voices is alto Becky Gottsleben For her, Girls' Chorus has helped her to learn how to sing much better and to gain practice in sight-reading music. But for Becky it goes even deeper. She has been a member of chorus for five years anp said , " I want to go further with singing ."

Everyone who belongs to Girls' Chorus may not want to continue with singing , but many do join other groups at Lincoln High. In fact, three members belong to the Sophomore Swing Choir. Of comse, next year could bring a spot on the Varsity Swing Choir, Madrigals, or Concert Choir. Still, the element of fun plays a big part in attracting people to the Girls ' Chorus.

No matter what the reason for joining , fun , learning or both , it all added up to a great performance for the holidays. The G i rls ' Chorus truly is a hard working group of people.

Novice teams LHS speaks up

"Boy, you won't believe what this program will do next year!" Though referring only to debate, this solemn prediction by Bradley Walker sums up where both debate and speech were headed this year. It was a year spent on acquiring skills and practices as both teams were composed mainly of novices.

With the exception of Mark Davis, Bapi Gupta, and Bradley Walker, everyone on the debate team was a novice, including the coach, Mrs. Sue Cain. Despite this, it was a productive year. The beginning debaters worked hard and improved greatly over the season. Senior Mark Davis said, "Lincoln High has the potential to be the best in the city. "

Another team, the speech team, had a great start! To mention a few of their accomplishments, at the Beatrice tournament on January 30 they took six trophies. At Omaha Bryan, David Duffy took first place in Extemporaneous Speaking. Brian Everman and Alaina Lemon also took first place in Duet Acting at Grand Island. These were only a few of the team ' s many accomplishments

Mr. Charles Fichthorn was the perfect coach for the team as he was active in speech in high school and college and did very well in contests. One team member said of him, " He has all sorts of little facts and hints that really make the difference."

A statement made by Mrs. Cain applicable to both the coaching of debate and speech was, ''Ifs provided me with a really good opportunity to involve students in a program that will be very useful to them now and in the future. "

Joynight: an evening of fun

Just joking around

" Come rain , or sleet, or cold of night , the show eventually goes on. "

With snow and freezing temperatures forecast for the week· end , the 1 982 Joynite performances were postponed from Thursday and Friday , January 15 and 16, to Wednesday and Thursday , January 27 and 28.

" It really wasn ' t so much what the weather was actually doing; it was more what people thought it was going to do ," said Mr. Dutch Fichthorn , Joynite Director.

The postponement of the show caused many problems. Quite a few students participating in the show had jobs , and because of the change of dates , many were forced to drop out of Joyn ite.

On the other hand , the extra week and a half gave crew members , stage managers , and acts a little more chance to get their cues down.

" The extra time gave us a chance to take out some rough edges to make the show run a bit more smoothly, " said Fichthorn.

Finally , after much delay , the curtain rose to show the theme behind it- " History of the World: Past , Present and Future."

To show the origin and display the true beginning of mankind, Mick Dyer , Benet Haller, Kevin Rippe and others performed an act named " The Dark Ages."

Moving up a few years, at least to the dinosaur ages , Senior Steering Committee sponsored an act depicting a time when many LHS teachers were i n high school.

Another act , on e of few showing any amount of talent , was a juggling routine performed by Sean Mcloughlin. It was probably one of the more successful acts in Joynite because it appealed not only to the taste of students but also to those of the younger and older members of the audience.

" Joyn ite ' s a chance for people to see friends doing strange things on stage ," said Assistant Director Benet Haller. " There reall)'.' isn ' t much talent involved ."

Whether Joynite was a talent show or a comedy show has yet to be answered. In either case , the acts had fun putting it on and ,, the audience had a good time watching the show.

Meet i ng on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month , the club consisted of seven act ive members Monthly field trips were made to areas of differing medical specialties , and a special effort was made to visit places of each member' s interest. The club ' s goal , to " orientat'= Lincoln High students to the medical facilities available in Lincoln specializing in their area of interest" was met with these field trips , as told by club president , Sherri Payne

Highlighting the year was a trip to St. Elizabeth ' s neonatal intensive care unit in December. Premature babies, as well as older infants that are seriously ill, are flown in from outlying areas and put i n the competent hands of Saint E's health professionals.

Game mystifies Players enchanted

Experts play an expanded version of chess that can last for two to three days. Less experienced players may play for only half an hour.

The game of chess is often misunderstood. Chess Club tried to change this idea. Contrary to popular belief, Serdar Turh?l, club member , believes that chess is not a difficult game. " It is easy to learn, " he explained.

Chess Club consisted of 12 members that met each Thursday during the year under the direction of Mr. Michael Baker. Members competed in matches against East and Southeast. According to club member Bob Poe , LHS lost the match to East by one point. Also, when members participated in local or state tournaments, the entry fee was paid from Chess Club funds.

Referring to chess as, " one of the best sports," Serdar expressed his hopes for increased club membership next year.

Ma th team excel s

Juggling and solving equations

Fanatics come in many d i fferent forms. There are sports fanatics , book fanatics , car fanatics, movie fanatics , and even more surprising , math fanatics. And for Lincoln High math enthusiasts, there is one place to juggle numbers and solve math problems , and that is , of. course , the Math Club.

The Math Club, sponsored by Mrs. Patience Fisher and Dr. Chuck Friesen, consists of approximately ten members and meets every other Monday night. According to President Beth Broman, meetings usually include studying for upcoming math contests. The Math Club participates in the monthly Atlantic-Pacific Math Contest and the annual National Math Contest , both involving competition in and out of the school.

Besides these national contests, the Math Club sends teams to area contests each year. The first contest of 1982 was the Omaha South Math Contest , and LHS sent two teams of four to compete. For the second year in a row , Lincoln High walked away with the first place trophy , winn i ng with the combined abilities of

seniors Beth Broman, Jon Paul and Jon Riecke and junior Craig Riecke.

The second and probably most important contest took place on February 6 at Creighton University. Although Northeast won _ the overall team trophy , Beth Broman and Jon Riecke placed third in their division.

Still , competition doesn ' t describe the Math Club completely. Techniques and methods used to solve problems can be learned by every member , even if they don ' t use that information imme- • diately Dale Tutt belongs to Math Club because his potential career , engineer i ng , involves math heavily. He says , " it.is hard for a sophomore (to be in Math Club) because I haven ' t had the advanced stuff." Beth Broman agreed , saying it has helped her " move way ahead " in her math courses.

And to think , all that interest in complex equations had to start out with 1 + 1 = 2.

Playing international politics

Diplomacy reaches LHS students

A compromise is reached between members of different delegations with a quick message delivered by a page. The chairman of the assembly cries for order as the delegate from Chad proclaims his country' s position on disarmament. ls this a scene from New York or Geneva? No, it's the Nebraska Model United Nations, held this year March 3-6 at the University of Nebraska.

High school and college students from all over Nebraska and even from other states make up the assembly. Specific countries are represented by the students, and it's up to them to make sure they vote with consistency to the real country's position, which almost makes the conference an international event.

Unfortunately, due to some confusion of a few high school students at the last Model UN, the number of high school students this year was limited. Only those people who had been involved in the Model UN before were allowed to attend as delegates. Steve Green, a delegate for two years, commented, "They're trying to weed out the people who don't know what's going on, but they're

a little too tight about it."

But the thrill of international politics awaits those who make it into the conference. Steve enjoys "being able to debate the issues." And Sarah Link, who has been a member of four Model UN events and won an award this year for Outstanding Delegate, loves the thrill of passing a resolution that compromises differences between countries.

But passing resolutions is not easy. Many delegates find that conquering the rules of parliamentary procedure is half the battle. Sarah said ," You can only do things a certain way. It's complicated and sometimes very confusing." However, she couldn ' t think of a better way to control some two hundred people in one room.

Anyone interested in debate, politics or diplomacy could take a dull course, or they could learn about it first-hand by attending the Nebraska Model United Nations. It's truly an experience in practical learning. As the Model UN did this year, it will probably continue to attract Lincoln High students. Attention all aspiring ambassadors: the Model United Nations wants you.

Mystical wonders Journey backwards in time

A special challenge awaited the cast and crew of the musical, "No, No, Nanette," for this year's musical was set in 1925. For crew members, this meant carefully designing the scenery and props to fit in with that period of time. For the cast, it meant adopting a way of life that has long since passed. Since characters were older than cast members, each person had the additional challenge of portraying an older person.

Preparation for the musical performances began early; from beginning to end, the entire process took about two months ending in the performances on March 19 a·nd 20. Selection of the musical to be performed was done by Concert Choir officers and Music Director Joe Skutchan. Next came tryouts, open to members of Concert Choir. The final cast was selected on the basis of their sight reading and singing abilities. Among the cast members only Ken Hammer and Amy Thone have held leads on stage before. Making costumes, learning lines, publicity, choreography and dancing were other important parts of preparing the musical.

"No, No, Nanette" is a jazz musical and has more dancing than previous musicals performed at Lincoln High. Jimmy Smith, portrayed by Ken Hammer, publishes Bibles. During his extensive travels, he meets three girls, whom he befriends. His wife Sue, portrayed by Peggy Gaube, doesn't like ·to spend monex even though that is what would make Jimmy happy. Afraid that Sue will misunderstand about the girls, Jimmy asks his friend and lawyer, Billy Early, to buy off the girls. Billy agrees and sets off with Tom, his wife's nephew whom the Smith's adopted daughter, Nanette, is in love with. Nanette wants to have some fun before she settles down so she decides to go to Atlantic City with her friends, and · Jimmy takes her there to stay at Chickadee Cottage. In the meantime, Billy and Tom decide to meet the three girls in Atlantic City. Also, Sue and Lucille (Billy's wife) decide to go off by themselves to Atlantic City. A series of complications and misunderstandings · occur when they all run into each other. At the show's end, the whole mess clears up and of course, everyone lives happily ever after.

DECA explores careers

Buckling down to real business

There is one club in school that contains around twenty students, but should have five times that many. It's DECA. DECA, or Distributive Education Clubs of America, is a business-oriented club in which students can learn about careers in business.

There are several different activities that DECA was involved in this year. One thing they did was role-playing. They would act out different job situations through which they could become more aware of the problems and advantages involved. This can show aspects of a job that one doesn ' t think about.

This year, DECA also did some shadowing of business people in the community. Members spent a day with a person in the field that they are considering for their future For example, Jean Duvall would like to own a restaurant some day. Debbi Steeves is looking ahead toward being a fashion buyer. Both of these occupations require some background knowledge of business.

The class that coincides with DECA is Marketing. It is taught by Bill Meyers who is also the advisor for DECA club.

This year, Mr. Meyers helped arrange a trip for the club. They went to Chicago for a three-day convention on business in

November. While there, they attended seminars and heard speakers. They also had a fun time getting to know the city.

The club participated in the district contest and did well. It consists of a written test of 50 questions and an oral test in which the contestant is given ten minutes to prepare a talk on an idea involving business.

Those who did best in events went on to attend State. It was held at the Hilton Hotel on March 18, 19, and 20, and consisted of the same types of tests as Districts.

Most students don ' t realize just how important it is to get some background in the area of business, no matter what career they are interested in Eventually everyone is going to have to deal with the business world. DECA is the perfect opportunity to get this necessary background because it is enjoyable while at the same time educational.

Overall, it was a productive year for DECA. They got to take a fun trip and participate in contests and find out more about their career goals and interests. As Debbi Steeves put it , " If you ' re interested in business it will help you a lot. It's good exposure. "

Aqualinks swim in watery paradise

The nearest thing to a description of Aqualinks would be a cross between ballet and swim team , and that would be very° . misleading. Aqualinks is synchronized swimming , which is supposed to be graceful and make attractive patterns. Unfortunately, many students don ' t even realize there is a synchronized swim team

Every year around February , tryouts for Aqualinks take place The girls are picked by how skillfully they swim and dive, and a good sense of timing is also important. After Opal Stoehr , their coach, announces who made the team there is the traditional initiation of the new additions by the returning swimmers This usually means a late night visit to the girls' homes where they are kidnapped.

Soon the practices start and the work begins. For about two months the girls work out routines and practice them.

This year the annual performance was based on the theme of " Paradise ." It"took placeat the LHS pool and as usual there weren ' t ~s many people as there should have been.

The show consisted of acts centering around the theme. Every year , seniors may try out for a solo or duet act , juniors may try out for a trio. Everyone is in some larger act.

Opal Stoehr is the " coach " for Aqualinks and helps write the show. She has been working with the program for many years but is considering making this her last.

The girls involved really seem to enjoy the exp~rience. As Leslie Hackenberg said , "We' re learning a lot of stunts , but it's a lot of fun too. If we could have more shows or compete it would be great! "

Espionage to assassination

Chasing away winter's blues

It was a typical day in the life at Lincoln High. The time, just before noon, the place, already mentioned. The halls were quiet except for the occasional growl in the rooms from restless stom· achs anticipating the day's sustenance. For some reason, there was a tenseness iri the air.

As the first bell rang, doors flew open, and people poured into the corridors like buttered spaghetti. People passed unknowingly, and one could hear the faint clicking of cap·guns and dart-guns being loaded. Drinking fountains were overrun with water pistols being filled. It was obvious, the Hunt was under way, and ninety teams of assassins were on the prowl searching to exterminate their adversaries.

For the second consecutive year, a school-wide game of mock assassination and espionage was organized, appropriately called "The Hunt" or "Assassin." This year the game was organized by the combined efforts of Kris Miller and Mark Davis, two seniors. Teams of five people received instructions to eliminate (remember, this was done without actual bloodshed) another team and that team in turn received orders to eliminate a different team. Eventually it came down to just a couple of teams, with one or two members left, in hot pursuit of each other. At the end of this game of strategy and tactical extermination, the winning (surviving) team won a trophy of their proverbial lives and a real trophy donated by the organizers of the Hunt.

Above- The spirit of the Hunt is captured. Top-Going over rules of the game takes up a lot of Kris Miller's time. Right-AU that remains of this assassin is a crumpled death certificate and a worthless weapon.

Training pays Talent discovered

All boys interested in singing should consider taking Boys' Chorus. The class is designed to give each member a chance to improve his singing ability and to sample the type of music written for male choruses.

Viewed as a training group, there is np selection process. All that is necessary to join is signing up during registration. Aecording to the director, Mr. Joe Skutchan, the class also exists to help boys during the voice change period, and used to be divided into two sections, one for sophomores and one for juniors. Presently ,· the class is open to all grades.

Performances are given during the year, but their frequency depends on how much Mr. Skutchan feels the group has pro- • gressed. The All-City Cho_ral Festival is one highlight of the year for the _class. Next year, many members will go on to more advanced singing groups.

Apple of their eyes Technology reigns

This year, there was a terrible misconception that all members of Computer Club worshipped a " little fellow" named Hurkle. There was a rumor that they were going to campaign for him for governor, but it was purely a myth, although most club members were Hurkle Fan Club members.

Of course there was a lot more to Computer Club than the game " Hurkle." There are three basic activities club members did this year. One was studying other computer languages besides Pascal and BASIC. Students can learn one of these two languages and FORTRAN simply by taking appropriate classes, but Compu· ter Club goes beyond them and looks at others.

A second typical activity was preparing for contests, the results of which gave LHS a national ranking. The tests consist of two parts: written problems and writing a program and entering it on the computer.

The third thing the club did was discuss techniques. Jon says of the club, " It gives computer fanatics a place to go and discuss programming and computers. "

With the continual growth in the computer industry, the club's future looks bright. It is a good idea for everyone to have some awareness of what computers can do and how they work. Many people have the idea that computers can do anything, including thinking. It's people like Computer Club members who do the thinking, and this thinking has an effect on everyone

Because of this, Computer Club is· one of the most relevant and practical clubs in existence.

Steering the class of '84

Sophomores cope

1982 , 1983, 1984 all symbolize an individual class. They are the graduation dates of all the classes attending Lincoln High in the 81-82 school year. One can definitely say there is a distinct personality to each individual class Seniors are eager to graduate , juniors are usually active But sophomores go through a couple of stages: at the first of the year , they adjust to high school and learn what homework really i s, and then they find their interests and become active.

Sophomore Steeri ng Committee is one of the groups that represents their class. They have two main funct i ons : to sponsor activities for their class and to raise money to carry over to their junior year in order to pay for Prom.

This year, to raise money , the club sold cookbooks , candy , candy containers , and holiday ornaments. They had · about 25 steady workers and raised a lot of money.

Sophomore Steering Committee also put on a couple of social events . They arranged a holiday party in December and held a picnic in the spring.

Sponsors Dick Patterson and Louise Baugher were very happy with the group this year. The class of ' 84 is off to a good start.

Creating a Prom Elections added to Junior Steering

"People that run for Junior Steering should expect to work hard. Some people consider it a way to prove popularity," said Junior Steering Committee President Beth Amedeo. This year the Junior Steering Committee went the route of last year's Senior Steering Committee and elected members from the junior class. Out of a race of 30 willing candidates, 18 were chosen, with girls outnumbering boys nine to one.

The main project of the JSC comes at the end of the year with the Junior-Senior Prom. This year's Prom, "Hawaiian Moonlight," was held on May 22 at the Nebraska Student Union Ballroom. Every detail of the Prom came under the jurisdiction of the Junior Steering Committee, such as the band, date, theme, decorations, advertisements, invitations, and of course, the most important thing, refreshments.

Obviously then, organization is the key to a successful Prom. The JSC was divided into subcommittees, each with its own chairperson, according to Beth. The sponsors, Counselors Dianne Leggiadro, Len Hamsa, and Mary Beth Lehmanowsky also gave the group direction.

But as always, the details add up to a lot of money. "We didn't want to charge much at the door. I hoped it would be around $5," said JSC Treasurer Amy Fuller. She estimated that it cost $J500 to produce the Prom, and hoped that instead of money from tickets most of it could come from the JSC treasury. Beth said, "We tried to raise money in various ways like selling candy." If any Lincoln High person missed a cheery Junior Steering Committee member in February with a box of M&M' s tucked under their arm, they missed a chance to support the Prom.

Other than the Prom, Junior Steering works with other groups, like Student Council, in order to serve the students, not just the junior class. Putting on a dance may not seem like a very big task, but this year's Junior Steering Committee made "Hawaiian Moonlight" dance in many juniors' and seniors' eyes.

No lack of vitality Drama captures Mummers' time

Enthusiasm. Young people today have been accused by some as not having enough enthusiasm. But you won't find a lack of spirit in room 228 on every other Wednesday night when Mummers, Lincoln High' s drama club, meets.

In the words of sophomore Jenny Barron, Mummers are "creative, very strange; oh, very dramatic." Mary Samson, a senior Mummer, said, "They're just like any other people." And according to Mr. Dutch Fichthorn, the Mummers' sponsor, they're "bubbly."

The enthusiasm of the Mummers shines through in just about every performance given on the LHS stage, especially their own play, appropriately called the Mummers' Play, which was presented in two performances on May 13-14. Speech contests also involve many Mummers working to perfect their voices. And it's a rare day when some of the Mummers aren't in the drama room after school, sharing views on a recent movie or discussing some element of life in general.

Maybe it's the unique people who join Mummers that gives the club this tremendous driving force. But then again, a lot of the members give credit to Mr. Fichthorn, many times shortened to Mr. F. "He's more of a friend to the students rather than a sponsor," three-year Mummer Todd Barry said. Mr. F. spends extra • time with students, finding things for them to do and getting them involved, and not just as actresses or actors.

Mr. Fichthorn attributes his popularity to the number of hours people work with him on the plays, and also because he can play along with their jokes (no pun intended). "I've never grown up," he explains.

•

What more can be said of Mummers? Putting it simply, they're more than just another club-they're a family of students.

High quality stuff Printing creativity

Sitting around in a circle reading stories, poems, and essays , or looking at drawings and pictures doesn't seem too difficult, but picking out which ones are to be published takes some thought, especially when there are so many different styles and topics. Every year, this job is given exclusively to the Image Board.

This year decisions were tougher for Image. There were more entries than in recent years, and those things that were entered were very well done; as Craig Riecke put it, it was "high quality stuff."

The board didn't meet on a regular schedule; they met when a lot of art or written work came in. Then the board would get together and discuss pieces of work. They never knew who submitted items until after they had judged and picked them, and this kept the decisions objective.

Image Board is always split up into two sections: literary and art. When someone applies to Image, they sign up for one or the other.

The literary section sits around in a circle taking turns reading entries. They discuss each one and then vote, putting it into a category of accepted, possibly accepted, or not appropriate for publication According to Mrs Judy Keller, Image advisor, they accept about 25% of the work submitted.

The Art Board operates under the same basic order, with advisors George Sedlacek and Darrell Hute. Their job is to pick out pictures that are of the best quality. Junior Kevin Fullerton says they judge by composition, contrast, neatness, and the idea behind the picture or its originality.

LHS has had _ a literary and art magazine for a long time, but it has only been called Image since the early 70' s; before that it was _ called Scribe. To be a member of the board, one must apply in the fall. To have work in it , one must submit their work during the first semester. To appreciate it, one only needs to read it when it comes out in the spring.

Organizing seniors Committee guides

Would a group be considered sane enough to make decisions if they acted like their teachers in front of an audience? Would they be allowed to choose a class gift? If that group is the Senior Steering Committee, the answer to both questions would be yes.

Senior Steering Committee consists of 18 elected members. Many people, including some of the members, believe the election system is unfair. "You know who's going to be on there," said Michelle Maxey, a member. Both President Jana Turpin and member Leslie Hackenberg also felt it was a combination of the popular and the dedicated who got elected. "I don't like the election system at all, "Jana replied. "The people who really wanted to work would be there."

No matter how they are chosen, though, the Senior Steering Committee always has a few specific tasks to perform each year. One of these chores is to choose a class gift, which this year was a Links' mascot costume. "Our basic goal is to organize graduation and senior awards day," said Jana. That includes the senior lu~cheon, getting the speakers, and so on. By the end of the year, Leslie estimated that each member would be spending 5-10 hours a week with the various preparations.

But the result hopefully ends up to be getting the whole senior class involved. Leslie said, "You provide them with something they're interested in or help them."

The whole goal of the Senior Steering Committee then is not just to make decisions for the group; it's a way to organize the ideas of the 503 people of the senior class into reality.

Announcing a change

The sound's dead

Change of any shape or size is not easily accepted. This year there was a change in the announcements. It was called "Communications Period."

The idea originated with several goals in mind. One was to keep all periods with the same amount of work time. Another was to make sure evel)'one heard the an· nouncements. Classes on field trips, and certain gym classes are unable to hear the sound system always. A third reason was to allow students to ask any questions they have which was difficult to do to a speaker. Whether Communications Period really

met these goals is a matter of debate. Opinions differed. While senior Sherry Barnes thought "the Communication~ Period (was) fairly effective" and it "called the students' attention to the school activities," senior Greg Phillips felt "the sound announcements were more effective" and "more people listened to them."

Maybe the Communications Period wasn't another great step for mankind or maybe it was. That's a matter of opinion, but good or bad, Communications Period is now an irreversible part·of histol)'.

Back to 1907

History revisited

Now it's time for a history lesson. No , no notes today about the Battle of Waterloo or how Pope John XV died. It's time to learn something about a grand old building, the one every student walks into every day: Lincoln High School.

The story began in the former Lincoln Hi gh building at 16th and "M" Streets, in the wi nter of 1907. The LHS of that time was in ru in. The leaders of the town and the Advoca te wanted a new building, and the debate was under way. Where would the new schoo l be built? How could the money be ra i sed?

The arguments continued up until tl\ay 2, 1911 bn that date , the taxpayers of Lincoln decided to put up the money for a new high school. The present Lincoln High was born, · at the site of 22nd and "J " Streets

But the debate was not over. Two lawsuits came before the Nebraska Supreme Court. They contested the amount of money spent and the site chosen But the decision of the school board and the people was upheld , and finally, on June 30 , 1913, the cornerstone was laid The new building The ancient cornerstone tells poeple of the beginning of Lincoln High. would end up costing $750 ,000

A rare privilege Links are treated

A new and unusual privilege was given to LHS this year. The school became the new home for the former Ha}'Wclrd students. A Federal law requiring that handicapped students be placed in the "lea st restricted environment" avail~ble was responsible for the dosing of the Hayward School, and the mainstreaming of its students in a regular school. This action was helpful to such students by giving them a chance to socialize with students who are not handicapped.

During this first year after the switch of schools, 15-17-year-olds attended LHS while those 18-21 stayed at Hayward. The students followed the bell schedule that the entire school went by. Classes were aimed at vocational training. There were also classes on basic survival skills in the community. Students learned how to tell time, how to use money, and read survival words such as those on street signs. Not to be overlooked were classes on cooking, laundry, how to ride the bus, reading, and how to write their name and address.

Mrs. Paula Bleeker, in charge of the former Hayward students, felt that the changeover has been successful. The students have gotten involved in LHS. Four girls were members of Pep Club and attended every meeting. One boy was in a general shop class, along with other nonh~ndicapped students.

Other LHS students accepted the newcomers with no problems. Several volunteers gave their time during the school day to help out. Much of this volunteerism is probably due to the new Citizenship Issues class which requires 20 hours of volunteering during the semester. On the other hand, much of it could be due to the willingness of LHS students to help those less fortunate than themselves.

The former Hayward students have added a new dimension to LHS. These studentc; have enriched the school by their courage in coping with the problems of being handicapped.

Fairy tale castles

Relating to kings

Have you ever wondered who really sits behind you in English class? If the circumstances had been just a little different, that person could have been a king or a queen, a duke or a duchess. Many people at Lincoln High have some connection to a famous family and could tell fantastic stories of their ancestors who lived in fairy tale castles in far away lands.

Lori Guthrie, a senior, is one of those people. Her ancestors came to Scotland before the ninth century and built a castle there. They have lived in Guthrie Castle, which has 505 acres, for over 600 years. The Guthries were noblemen who supported the arts in Scotland for hundreds of years.

Like many other families, the Guthrie family came to America because of a hardship in their own country. They left during a potato famine in the 17th and 18th centuries. Not many people know that Lori has a connection to royalty, but she says, "We are well-known in Scotland."

A sophomore, Frank lmmonen, also claims to be a member of a royal family. He believes he is the great-great-great-greatgrandson of a Finnish prince and is the rightful King to a large part of Finland. The area is now ruled by Frank's distant cousin. He and his father could take the matter to the Finnish courts, who would then make a decision as to who rightly rules the land. Lately, Frank says he has been "thinking about it very strongly" and may try to win the court battle.

Both Lori and Frank haven't been affected by their family's fame, according to them. However, neither of them knew about their family history until just a few years ago, so it really hasn't had time to soak in.

Lori and Frank are just two examples at Lincoln High with famous family backgrounds. Maybe, who a person is related to doesn't make a difference. Whether a person is related to a knight or a horse thief, wryat really matters, though, is what each person does with his life.

Being a member of Scottish royalty doesn't play a large part in Lori Guthrie's life.

Student-vs-teacher

Q u alifying

There are teachers and then there are teachers. The difference is great. A wellliked teacher can have a strong effect on the enthusiasm of students to learn. On the other hand sometimes popular teachers get taken advantage of. So what is it that makes a good teacher?

Christie Toombs thinks "the most important characteristic in a teacher is to be understanding and open." Along the same line, Greg Phillips thinks it's concern for the student. Some see teaching as a job, while others consider it an opportunity to help others learn and grow.

Another aspect of teaching is the classroom discipline. Carleen Draper feels teachers should be humorous but at the same time maintain a seriousness. In agreement with this, Sheny Barnes said teachers "should be easy going but have high expec· tations "

When asked what she thought was the most important quality in a teacher, senior Lori Henning responded "organization."

• • • or

just sat isfyi ng

This is definitely a vital part of teaching. Some teachers seriously consider their role. Social Studies instructor Thomas Christie is always keeping up on the latest information on how people learn best. He tries to run his classroom so that students apply what they learn as opposed to just memorizing facts. He also works at preparing students for college.

Judy Keller, a member of the English Department, is another person who believes in college preparation. She keeps a tight curriculum and gives the type of work one might expect in a college class.

English teachers like Curt Ratliff and Merrell Grant say they like to allow students to think of their own ideas and be creative with them.

All these characteristics are very important in teachers, but also apply to students. The desire to learn can't be forced Qn them. Teachers can only work with what they have, and there are students and then there are students.

Important math department business is discussed by Patience Asher and Charles Friesen.

Nobody's immune to them

Problems painfully appear

Are you always getting headaches or stomach-aches? If the answer is "yes," you may be one of many LHS students that fall victim to stress.

According to Mrs. Carol Epp, the school nurse, when students suffering from stress go to see a doctor, the doctor will often find nothing wrong, probably because these students do not realize that they are suffering from stress. If you are in this situation, you need to become aware of what is causing the stress in your life and then learn how to control and perhaps even eliminate some stress-producing activities.

Stress can be caused by many things. There may be problems at home, with peers, or in the classroom. One hundred LHS students were surveyed to discover areas that cause the most stress for them. They were asked if they felt stress: in the class· room? (not including tests) from tests? from peers? from parents? SOMEALWAYS TIMES NEVER

from brothers and sisters? 10 49 41

Som e other things that caused stress were: jobs, grades, decisions, relatives, and others too numerous to mention.

The results of stress upon an individual can be mild, such as headache; or more serious, such as producing an ulcer. According to Mrs. Epp, there are a surprising number of students attending LHS that are on ulcer medication. The ultimate result of stress could be suicide. Stress should never get to be that serious.

A necessary break

Lunching out

It happens twice a day. At 11 :40 and 12:33 a bell rings and students rush to their cars for lunch. Some have never eaten in the school cafeteria while others have never gone out to eat

The reason so many go out isn't just to eat. As Lynda Reyman said, "I go out to lunch almost everyday. The open campus policy is a must. Some days you need to get out of the building."

For those staying for lunch, there were a few changes this year. One was the reputable Combo. It allowed ice cream to replace milk and a fruit or vegetable on a Type A lunch. Also, there were additional flavors of ice cream.

The response to these changes was good, but there were exceptions. When Doug Phillips was asked his opinion on the Combos, his reply was, "What is a Combo?"

Students will continue to take advantage of open campus, but when they do stick around for lunch, they'll have a few more choices.

A change in music The 1960's reappear now

"Let's all get up and dance to a song that was a hit before your mother was born." Although these words from a Beatles' song aren't quite true, they do reflect the change in music. The 80' s have brought about one enormous shift in popular music: a return to the simplistic style of the 1960' s.

Of course, those who listen have different reasons for enjoying the style. Nick Wilson and Jay Thornton both agreed that too many groups play, as Nick put it, "carbon copy rock 'n roll." They enjoy instead,

listening to the originals.

But Marna Maldavs believes it is more than just the originality. Not only has the music of the 70' s been copi~d, said Marna, but the feeling of the beat was neglected.

However people interpret the new music, or old music, one thing is certain: .rock and roll has changed back to the purer style of the 1960' s. The question now follows: Will America go through the same rebellious state as it did in the 60's? Only a few years of waiting will tell us the answer.

Dreams realized '

The wild west comes alive

Hidden talents abound from many LHS students. Jenny Ackerman, Deb Orne!, Lori LaPage, and Scott Reighter all share a natural interest in horses.

Owning a horse is only a dream for many horselovers; but for Jenny Ackerman, Lori LaPage, and Scott Reighter, it is reality.

Competing against other horselovers, Jenny and Lori hope to perfect their performances. Showing horses takes a lot of preparation. Good grooming and conditioning of the horse beforehand is essen-· tial and each devotes a major part of the summer hours to the horses.

Training horses is Scott Reighter's speciality. Such a task is not an easy one.

Many hours must be spent with each horse and tasks to be taught must be repeated many times before the goal is accomplished.

The only one of the group who doesn't own a horse is Deb Omel, who identifies with horses in a different way. She has been collecting horses (glass and plastic) for seven years. Her hobby has consumed more than $3,000 and has resulted in 170 Breyer models (hand-made) and about 150 other kinds. Deb also has won prize~ for her drawings of horses.

Other LHS students are also talented with horses and are among those few who have the natural fascination for horses.

The west side · story Smoke falls

In the past, Lincoln High students had been allowed to smoke on the west end, outside the Johnson Activities Building. This year things were different.

"The smoking policy has always been around;" said Vice-Principal Dr. Charles Jones, "it was never enforced:"

When the smoking policy was first introduced, it was believed that a great deal of controversy would arise.

"It was a big change, and any time you make a change, there is controversy, " said Dr. Jones. "We were lucky it was accepted pretty well."

If a student was caught smoking on the LHS campus, disciplinary action was to be taken.

On the first violation, the student was warned of subsequent discipline and the student's parents were notified. The next time the person was suspended for three to five days and was given a referral to the Office of Student Services. On the third violation, five days suspension, a referral along with recommendation for expulsion were all given.

"I think it's working really well," said Dr. Jones. "Walking around the campus I don't see anyone smoking. "

Affection or sex Pitching the woo around

When the phrase, "Sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll," is heard, one's mind may revert back to the decade of the 60' s, to a time when love and sex first began io be spoken of freely, the use of drugs was becoming common, and rock and roll was making a gigantic dent in society. Although these words were born in the 1960' s, the phrase has no less of an impact today.

At Lincoln High, along with most of the other schools, love and affection are displayed quite freely in the hallways. At times, this show of emotion may be · very obnoxious.

"Sometimes it bugs me," said sophomore Sandy Scheerger. "There's a time and a place for things like that, and in the hallways at school isn't either one."

Although the majority of the student body feels that this public display of affection is in poor taste, there are some students whose opinions differ.

"It's up to them," said junior Dan Lovecheck, "if they feel it is all right then let them do it."

With the generations of today, feelings are expressed much more openly. These generations have learned that love and affection are not terrible, rather it is a wonderful thing. But wonderful as it is, it is not a thing to share with- noninvolved people.

Now it's like this, explains Joyce Welsch to Jay Thornton.

They're human too

Te achers pursue other interests

Most students see their teachers as just that teachers. It's strange to think of them in any other environment than the classroom. But much to the amazement of many, teachers are people too. Some of them hold down other jobs besides teach· ing which allows them to pursue other interests and get some extra income.

Physics teacher Bob Dawson runs his own photography business. Many of his students go to him for their senior year

pictures. Depending on the season, he spends 30-40 hours a week working with pictures.

Another victim of this energy bug is Principal Sanford Nelson. He has owned real estate for about 25 years. He obtains houses, fixes them up, and then sells them. He also helps out at his wife's bakery: "Colonial Bake Shoppe and Parlour."

The same busy man who is the head administrator at LHS makes "a mean cin-

namon roll."

Charles Friesen, Patience Fisher, and Harvey Stoner have all taught college credit classes.

Merrill Grant owns apartment complexes which keeps her spare time busy. These are just some of the teachers who have other work. Many others have jobs or hobbies that they spend a lot of their spare time with. It's almost enough to make one believe they' re human.

Things to come Cutting education

Lately the newspapers have been filled with the news of President Ronald Reagan and Governor Charles Thanes' spending cuts. Fortunately, these cuts haven't affected Lincoln or Lincoln High too much, even with a spending lid of seven percent. The Lincoln Public Schools is in a unique position, for it has taken a strong sch~l board and willing taxpayers to make it through the current economic crisis.

Lincoln High has not gone without some cutbacks, however. A few years ago LHS did away with administrative aides, according to Vice Principal Don Dean. Their only purpose, Mr. Dean said, was to roam the halls and keep order. Now teachers have picked up this duty by helping to patrol the halls.

Another cutback was in the hiring of teachers. When certain teachers have retired and the classes that they taught weren't vital, Lincoln High simply didn't hire anyone to take their place. A gradual cutback was made, and no one felt hurt.

"Mr. Dean again made this point clear and said, "I don't think we've been hurt in any significant ways." He gives a lot of credit to the school board and especially Superintendent John Prasch. "Our district is unique," Mr. Dean commented because the school system has been able to put aside a small amount of money each year.

In Nebraska, though, Lincoln is one of the very few school districts that can afford to do this. Lincolnites seem to be better than many other districts and the taxpayers are therefore more willing to spend money on educating their children.

As of now, Lincoln's school system appears to be doing fine in the face of inflation and recession. Even with a s~ven percent lid, Lincoln High hasn't had to cut any important classes or programs. However, time will not improve the situation. If the economy doesn't recover soon, Lincoln High may find itself cutting pro· grams like other schools have had to do, a very unfortunate effect indeed.

Above: The stalled remodeling may have been a result of the lack of funds. Top: Eating lunc_h out of a bag passes the time for Troy Johnson while Thad Potter reads. Right: The oval was finished on time, an example of excellent management.

A misleading image Ghetto kids thrive

Going to a ghetto school like Lincoln High really takes a lot of courage. Just walking down a hall is frightening and going into a restroom is unthinkably brave. Most students have to carry some means of protection. At LHS crime is the norm.

The 1981-82 school year must have been somewhat of an exception, for there were no murders, knifings, or even rapes. However there were other violent activities occurring throughout the year. Pencils were broken. Papers were made into spitballs and hurled at innocent bystanders. Fortunately, no concussions were reported. Several teachers did go into their rooms to find that they'd been ransacked both erasers and chalk were missing. Things such as these were never reported to the police, because the teachers feared retaliation.

Of course the criminal element is not limited to students alone. Most teachers have whips in their closets. The cooks have

a ready supply of arsenic and janitors are often seen pushing drugs.

There is one thing that doesn't quite make sense. When one looks at LHS' record, there are some things that contradict with the typical image of future convicts. The joumaJism awards, the Merit Scholarship winners, the high sc9res in math and computer contests, Honor Roll, and many other similar things fit the picture of a strong academic school. That these "junior Godfathers" at Lincoln High achieve such success is amazing.

Lincoln High is not full of Ritchie Cunninghams and Pat Boones. Sometimes there are fights. Cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs are far from extinct. But there are no · more of these things at LHS than at any other school in Lincoln.

Through lack of communication and knowledge, Lincoln High has a rough reputation. Fortunately, it does not live up to this negative image.

Far Left: Little words of wisdom are often displayed on the marquee. Above: Representing LHS for years is the Links' statue out on the mall.

Getting .a head start Pupils start early

Many students have devoted hours of extensive studies in order to expand their education during their high school career. These studies were courses taken at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

One person who was instrumental in registering these students was Math Teacher Harvey Stoner.

If a student took these classes under the · proper conditions, the fees were paid by the school. •

"When a student is classified as highly gifted and university courses are necessary for their education, the Lincoln Public Schools pays for tuition and books, as was the situation with Beth Broman," said Mr. Stoner.

By the end of her senior year, Beth Broman had taken four math courses at the

University of Nebraska-Lincoln, getting top grades in each.

"In elementary school, I was in CPL, Individualized Math," said Beth. "Benet Haller (Lincoln High senior) and I always competed to see who could get the most cards done."

This was how she excelled so greatly in math.

Many other students like Amy Thone and Sarah Link also took college courses during the school year. Others took classes during the summer, as was the case with Sherry Cain and Ingrid Olson.

Education is one way of excelling in life. With ambitions that these students must have, success seems to be in the future for them.

Brings uneasiness

Unfamiliar setting

Imagine what it would be like not to understand English. Could you communicate? How would you react if you couldn't?

Foreign exchange students attending LHS have a definite advantage over the Asian refugees that also attend LHS. These students are in America on a limited basis.

1)1e refugees have to learn how to cope in an English-speaking country for the rest of their lives.

Serdar T urhal, from Turkey has studied English for six years. He has found that his background in English has not been enough. He complained that the grammar rules are difficult and that the different English dialects are hard to understand.

Georg Meller, from Germany, has also studied English for six years. He had problems at first in telling where one word ends and another begins, when a person is talking. There were also a lot of vocabulary words he had never learned.

On the other hand, most refugee sh:1· dents came to America with no prior knowledge of the English language. Gai Nguyen, a junior from Vietnam has been in the USA for two years. She started to learn English two to three days after her arrival, and still carries a translation dictionary. She feels that part of the reason why English has been hard for her to learn is that none of her friends are native Americans.

Channy Kim, a senior from Cambodia was a good student irt her native land. In • America she has had to work hard for good grades because of her difficulty with English. She sometimes has trouble getting her ideas across. "Ifs hard to translate it into English," she said.

Wherever they are from, both foreign exchange students and refugee students seem to agree that math is their easiest English subject to understand.

Peppers, Pomalinks, Cheerleaders

Groups sponsor vitality

Peppers

How can a group of girls get a crowd of people involved in a football game? Yell a lot! The Lincoln High Pep Club does exactly that at every sporting event, during pep rallies, and even in the halls: they scream for LHS. Without them, Lincoln High would be a school without a voice. Pep Club provides support for athletics and tries to get everyone involved in their support, a very important job in· deed.

But Pep Club does more than scream for a victory. All Pep Club members make spirit and locker signs, wear their uniforms to school, and help the club earn much needed money. And it's not easy. Every Pepper must earn fifty-two points each semester just to stay in. With only one point awarded for wearing the uniform to school, two points for going to a game,

sports at Lincoln High. They are buly the spirit of UiS.

Pomalinks

Put sixteen high-spirited, highly-motivated juniors and seniors together and what do you have-the LHS Pomalinks who promote school spirit and pride.

To become a Pomalink, it is necessary to be a Pepper in good standing Attendance at clinics is a must to learn the routines , and a basic interest in and understanding of dance is helpful.

Pomalinks are still considered to be members of Pep Club and must go to club meetings, and also participate in Pep Club fund raising activities.

Uniforms are very expensive. New members can expect to pay at least $250 for a uniform. Pomalinks are expected to wear

their uniforms at least once a week and on varsity home game days.

This year' s co-captains were Renee Fox and Anne Buntain. Katie Barron was the secretary and Mrs. Moody was the sponsor. The Pomalinks met in room 140 on Mondays, practiced in the girls' gym the rest of the week, and marched with the band sometimes.

The Pomalinks perform at the fair and varsity games, or if some group asks them to.

The Pomlinks kept several of last year's routines. Two to three of them at a time work on a new routine. During the year each of them must come up with a new beginning and end to a routine It generally takes the Pomalinks a week to learn a new routine; however, there are some routines that are learned in much less time.

The members felt that being

a Pomalink teaches them how to work with a group of people. It gives patience and strengthens a sense of coordination and balance. Membership is a good way to get involved in the school and promote spirit It gives girls a chance to meet people and teaches self-confidence. Mem· bership also gives one a chance to make new friends. It is a lot of hard work but it leaves the Pomalink with something special to •remember about high school.

• The Pomalinks felt that what they do is definitely worthwhile. Most of them felt that if they were not a Pomalink theywould probably go to the games anyway.

Varsity Cheerleaders discuss the latest gossip with the Southeast Cheerleaders.

This was one of the many new chants brought to Lincoln High by the 1981-1982 Cheerleaders.

On this year's Varsity Squad there were only nine seniors. The Reserves started out with six members, but Debbie Olston, having inany other priorities, resigned midway through the fall sports season.

The Varsity Cheerleaders travelled to Hastings Nebraska to attend a clinic sponsored by the Dynamic Cheerleaders'

Association. Out of 17 squads, Lincoln High received the one and only spirit stick -a trophy which named the squad most dynamic and number one in the camp. The girls also received many other awards, such as outstanding cheering skill°; outstanding jumps, stunts, and mounts; crowd involvement; outstanding spirit; super squad; most spirited; and squad unity.

Not only did the cheerleaders go to camp over the summer, but they also practiced three

times a week, two to three hours a day. During these ·practices, new mounts were designed and practiced, cheers and chants were taught along with traditional pre-game porn pon routines.

With the start of school, the duties of the cheerleaders increased. The squads continued to practice and learn new cheers, but now they were also expected to show their support for every athletic team. To do this, the girls made hall posters

and locker signs; they decorated locker rooms, delivered door signs, held a football picnic, gave knick-knacks to LHS athletes, organized pep rallies, had pre-game dinners for other cheerleaders, cheered at games and meets and many other activities.

Whi le the cheerleaders showed their support, th ey also had to keep up with school work; many held jobs, others participated in sports and extracurricular activities.

Boys' L-Club

Many activities at Lincoln High have a long and glorious history, but perhaps none of them has a greater tradition than the Boys' L-Club. Even so, the L-Club does not seem to be as popular as it once was, perhaps due to a decline in the support of athletics.

There is one requirement to become a member of the LClub: a person must have earned a varsity letter in any sport. Even though there is just one requirement, it's a hard one to fill. Despite the many hours athletes spend in training, few earn the varsity letter.

Although many people would think that being in the L-Club

Club is to help the other athletes carries a lot of prestige, this simply isn't true. Ron attributed it to the fact that LHS has "lost a lot of spirit" in athletics. Both he and L-Club member Tom Nun agreed that only as long as a sport is having a winning season will people show enthusiasm for them. With all the work that goes into training and practicing, fickle fans can certainly destroy an athlete's confidence.

Boys' L-Club this year just doesn't seem to be the group it was. Maybe the fans of Lincoln High can help make the L-Club what it was by supporting athletics.

Girls' L-Club

The Girls' L-Club was designed to support girls' varsity sports and also to honor varsity athletes. In order to become a member of the Girls' L-Club, a student must have acquired at least one varsity letter in any girls' sport.

Senior Suzy Shephard was the president of the club for the 1981-82 year. Bobbi Fallstead held the office of Vice-President. Lisa Keller was Treasurer and Sara Thomassen was the Historian.

The Club engaged in various fund raising activities throughout the year. The money raised

was used to pay for special events held for and organized by the members of Girls' L-Club.

At the end of the school year, a banquet was held in recognition of the many athletes at Lincoln High School. Girls from LClub assisted the members of Boys' L-Club in preparation for the banquet. Together the two

clubs set up dozens of tables and hundreds of chairs. President Suzy Shephard gave a short speech and other girls helped serve the meal.

The Girls' L-Club was an important organization in recognizing the many fine athl~tes who-would otherwise have gone unnoticed.

Top Fall effort Gymnasts excel

The Boys ' Gymnastics Team and the Varsity Volleyball Squad highlighted the foll sports season for Lincoln High School athletics The boy gymnasts finished second at the state meet, the highest finish for a Lincoln High team since 1969, and for the first time since 1976 , the volleyball team earned the right to compete in state tournament play.

Boys' Gymnastics

Under the direction of firstyear coach Marl~ Shearer, the boy gymnasts peaked at the right time scoring nearly 150 points during the first day of state team competition in November. The team •duplicated their first day efforts during the final day of competition , finishing third in the siote meet behind champion Omaha South and runner-up Lincoln Southeast.

Senior Pot Wensel led the .way finishing fourth in the state all-around competition; however, Jack Densberger, also a senior , captured the state championship in the high bar. Densberger was the only Lincoln gymnast to win on indi-

viduol event as Omaha South gymnasts accounted for the other gold medals

During the regular season , the boys recorded a J-J dual record. Yet , the record does not tell on accurate story, considering that one loss was given up to Omaha South and a second to Lincoln Southeast.

Cooch Shearer said he was " very pleased" with the results of the boys ' season. He cited the many hours of practice not only ofter school but also during the weekends as paying . off for the Links . He said Densberger, Wensel and Senior Kevin Burl~e gave up their spore time on Sundays to practice at the Bob Devaney Sports Complex where the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Mens' Gymnastics Team works out.

Cooch Shearer, along with boys' assistant Steve Lococo and girls' assistant Lisa Misel~, said both teams adjusted well to the change in the coaching positions " Changing coaches is always pretty dramatic for any kind of team but I felt that everybody gave me a really worm welcome, " said Cooch Shearer.

Tennis

The tennis team did not win very many of their matches this year, but that was not due to poor playing, poor coaching, or lack of effort. The competition was tough. LHS has some good players who worked hard. As senior Jim Smith said, "I think we improved the whole season."

This year there were only two sophomores on the team, while there were six seniors who, of course, will not be returning next year. It is possible that next year there will only be a varsity team. Junior Scott Reighter is optimistic about it though. He thinks that LHS has "a good outlook for the Varsity team next year."

One thing that was really missing at the meets was an ingredient that would have really made a difference in the spirit of the team; fans. There was a definite lack of students who attended the meets of several sports that they considered mmor. This is sad because tennis is as important as any of the other sports and deserves just as much support and recogni-

tion. The tennis players worked hard and had the skill. Knowing that they had interested fans would certainly have encouraged them. On the other hand, the tennis coach, Dennis Weixelman, said that some of the players asked their parents not to come to the meets be cause it made them nervous. This disappointed him, but he said that it was just the way it went.

The coach said that the players played very consistently. He wasn't very excited about the outcome of the season, and he also isn't too hopeful about next year as they will probably be short of players.

As the record stands, the Varsity won 1 out of 10 meets and Reserves won 2 out of 5 duos. In the Lincoln Public Schools, the Varsity finished 4th and Reserves 3rd.

Looking back at the 1981 tennis season, their isn't much to get very excited about. It couldn't be considered a winning year. However, Lincoln High didn't give up.

Reseive Volleyball

Hopes of someday making the varsity team push the Reserve Volleyball Team members onward.

Julie Johnson, reserve team member, felt that despite the team's record of 3-11, they did improve throughout the season. In her opinion, the improvements are what made the season successful.

"We gained confidence in ourselves," she said. "Maybe this confidence will make next year's varsity team the best yet.

Included in the three Lincoln wins were victories over both Lincoln East and Lincoln Southeast. The other LHS win came against Beatrice in the second match of the season.

Cross Country

Considering the type of person who runs long distances every day in all sorts of weather and actually enjoys it, it is easy to compare this person to the type of individual who loves asparagus and beets. These people could be labeled "runaholics," and many of them associated with a group called cross country.

This year, a new dimension was added to Lincoln High cross country. For the first time, there was a girls' team. Jean Henrichs took on the new job as girls' coach, while Harold Scott continued on as the boys' coach.

The girls' debut would have to be considered successful as LHS finished sixth in the girls' See Fall sports, page 162

state cross country meet held in late October at Kearney. Other top finishes included a secondplace showing at the Millard Invitational and third-place at the Omaha Bryan Invitational. The girls also finished second in the city meet as they were led by Junior Carol Nunnally who won the event.

The boys also performed well but would have appreciated a larger team. Mick Dyer, a senior who has participated for three years said, "Cross country is a great sport. It's too bad it isn't as important at LHS as it is at other schools.''

Varsity Football

In 1979, the Lincoln High Sophomore Football Team finished the year undefeated. In 1981, the sophomores reunited as seniors on the varsity squad, and along with the rest of the school, had high hopes for a successful season.

When it came time for the opening game, the Link gridders were ready for some action under the direction of first-year coach Harold Simpson and his assistant Dave Gillespie. The team had been practicing hard for nearly a month and they were confident LHS could de-

feat the Columbus Discoverers. From the very beginning of the game things went in the wrong direction for the Links as they were unable to convert a Columbus fumble deep in Discoverer territory into a touchdown.

As the game progressed, many other calamities arose. Not only did the team fall, but many team members fell, too.

Senior Dennis Robertus received a powerful blow to the head causing him to fall to the ground and stay there. Even though Dennis recovered from the injury, the Links could not, as they dropped a 26-0 seasonopener.

The Columbus game depicted what was in store for the Links for much of the remainder of the season. It was as though almost every game was a re-run, with a few minor changes, of the season's opener.

In the third game at Scottsbluff which followed a 16-12home victory over North Platte, Senior Dave Fiala, who saved the LHS win over North Platte by intercepting a fourth-quarter Bulldog pass in the Links' end

Sweat in the winter Outlook is better

Record wise, Lincoln High School experienced its most disappointing winter sports' season in several years. During the past few seasons, Link fans had become accustomed to state tournament appearances by both the boys' and girls' basketball teams and top finishes by the swimming and wrestling squads. Such was not the case this year, however underclassmen played key roles on many of the winter sports' teams providing some hope for an improved Lincoln High showing next year.

Boys' Varsity Basketball

With fifteen losses and four wins under their belts, the LHS Boys' Basketball Team could have very easily been disappointed. But were they? No!

A lot of people thought it would be a disappointing season," said six-foot one-inch senior Pat Brown. "But a lot of positive things came out of it. We worked with a lot of different personalities.''

Although the team's fourvic-

tories came early in the season, they never lost spirit or faith.

"Basketball is an up and down game, really unpredictable," said senior center Ron Galois. "There was always the chance that the underdog could upset."

The game is played not only with talent but also feeling.

• "Basketball is a very emotional sport," said Head Coach Aldie Johnson. "Three areas in particular-winning, losing and participation."

The latter area was certainly fulfilled with each player on the team starting at least two games.

"Everyone was given the opportunity to demonstrate their talent," added Coach Johnson.

Two major weaknesses hindered the success of the season's win-loss record.

"Our inability to control the boards and the team's shooting percentage (only 37%) played very important factors in the outcome of the season," Coach Johnson pointed out.

word to describe this year's Sophomore Boys' Basketball Team. According to Coach Dennis Potthoff, their 2-8 record wasn't due to bad attitudes or a lack of effort, but just weak spots that combined to bring the team down. In fact, three games were lost by three points or less!

Coach Potthoff named those defeating flaws, stating, "Our shooting let us down several times," and also, "We had a tendency to get. into foul trouble." A team member, Tim Sumovich, added that once they got behind in a game, they never seemed to catch up.

Although it wasn't Coach Potthoff s first coaching experience, it was his first year at Lincoln High. He brought a new style-almost like that of a

college basketball coach, the way he yelled from the sidelines, while most coaches idly and hopelessly watch their team. That vitality seemed to rub off on the team, said Tim.

But there's got to be more to a team than just a win-loss record. "I just act like I'm with a bunch of guys on a Saturday morning," said another team member, Troy Thompson. All of the team got along well and had fun, which, although maybe not as important to the spectators as winning, seemed to carry the team through the season.

No, it wasn't a fantastic year for Sophomore Boys' Basketball, but skills were improved for a new year of hard work and dedication.

Girls' Varsity Basketball

"We all have confidence in each other," commented team member Renee Bachman.

The Varsity Girls' Basketball T earn had a trying but rewarding year. This year's team consisted mainly of juniors. To make the season successful, they knew it would be essential to work as a team and depend on everyone, as there were no "superstars."

Goals for the year included winning games and taking both

the district and state titles. As the year progressed, the team fulfilled many of these goals and could feel others getting ever closer.

T earn members Crystal Smidt and Renee Bachman felt that the team did not receive as much support from the LHS student body as in years past. They expressed feelings that the school should always be behind the team no matter what the win-loss record is. They noted the increase in game attendance during the district tournaments.

On the brighter side, Renee and Crystal cited how much the band and the crowd helps to get the team motivated during a game. "The crowd helps you get going," Crystal explained.

One of the intense rivalries of the year was between LHS and Northeast. Early in the season, Northeast defeated LHS Later on in the season, Lincoln High defeated a then-unbeaten NE. The final meeting between the two schools was during the district championship game on

Since only four players graduated this year , next year's team should provide many exciting moments for LHS fans.

'We finished out at 12-4. It ties for the best reserve record so far at Lincoln High," said reserve player fv\ary Hall.

together with amazing results.

Of course , the main goal of reserve members was to make varsity next year. Throughout their year of "training," the girls learned plays , •how to control the ball, how to work as a team, and what LHS coaches expect of them. However, no member was guaranteed a spot on the varsity team next year.

According to team member Cindy Earnest, the experience and patience gained on reserves are important. She explained, "You learn from mis-

Also on the positive side, lack of depth was helpful. With three teams working out in the pool together-girls, guys and divers-things might have been hectic.

Approximately ten girls made up the swim team this year , not enough to fill available spots.

"Depth has always been a problem," said Coach Greg Rice, "but the girls did good with the talent they had."

Although the win-loss record was equal to last year's, this season was deemed more of a success.

"It was better than last year. We had a better coach and the people were more fun," said Amy.

Varsity Wrestling

Being a rough , grueling , tough and grinding sport, wrestling demanded the most of its participants

And , along with many other Lincoln High sports in 1981 and '82, injuries were abundant for this year's wrestlers.

" It's a stroke of bad luck," said Head Coach Thomas Christie. "Two out of four injuries have been major."

Discipline was also a factor in the end result of the 1982 season.

" We started with about 40

guys out this season; we ended with around 30 ," said return i ng letterman David Borchers.

Although some of the athletes couldn ' t stick with the sport, those remaining seemed to give it their all, which was expected.

" Coach Christie ' s a hard coach to wrestle under," said David. " He expects you to wrestle to your ability; if you don' t , he gets on your case. "

Winter melted into the spring of the year, and the athletes of Lincoln High turned to spring sports. It soon became a season marked by indoor practices, 1 an increased interest in baseball , and Coach Harold Scott' s retirement The talent was there for a successful season.

Varsity Baseball

When was the last time you sat down to a live baseball game eating a plump, juicy frankfurter, and drinking an ice cold coke?

Well, for avid baseball fans, the opportunity finally arose during the spring of 1982 when • the LHS Varsity Baseball Team got on the ball at Sherman

Field.

Out of the entire crew of players, there were only four varsity lettermen coming back for another season. They were Mick McGuire , Dennis Robertus , Mark VanArsdall, and Mike Little-three seniors and one junior.

With all of the snow and wet weather of this year , the teams were forced to practice in Johnson Gym , which was not much compared to a baseball diamond.

See Spring sports, page 1 79

"The whole infield , except for McGuire, graduated last year, " said Mark. "But all of the outfield is still here."

"It's hard to play baseball inside. You're always holding a little back, afraid of breaking a window or hitting somebody," said senior John Bishop. Considering the team, under the direction of Coach Bill Zuspan, had little varsity experience they had a very successful season.

Reserve Baseball

Imagine a lovely, sunny spring day. The flowers singing, the birds blooming and the crack of baseballs against bats. Such a sound is typical when the Reserve Baseball Team gets ready for another year of competition.

Improving on individual skills became the goal of this year's Reserve Baseball Team, according to fourth-year coach Tom Pappas. Hitting was particularly stressed, due to the poor

continued-from-page-178

hitting percentage of last year's team

Unfortunately, only a few players were allowed to be a part of this improvement. Of the 75 that went out for baseball this year, only 14 were chosen for each of the three teams. "I don't like the process (of cutting) at all," said Coach Pappas.

This year's schedule consisted of 15 games, mainly against city and area schools. Hopefully, next year's Varsity Baseball T earn will reflect the improvement the Reserve Baseball Team had this season.

Sophomore Baseball

"Special" athletes inspire fans

"Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." The motto of the Special Olympics stresses the idea that winning is not everything; what is important is to do the job well. Everyone is a winner at the Special Olympics because either a ribbon or a medal is presented to all participants.

Each year handicapped and mentally retarded persons participate in the Special Olympics on the local and state levels. The games are held regionally every two years and internationally every four years. No national games were held this year. The next international games will be held in the summer of 1983.

For 35-40 students at Lincoln High, the local and state games provided an opportunity to participate in athletic events, gain improved social skills , and make new friends. The students trained during P.E. classes under the direction of Bill Kechely.

Some after-school workouts , as well as weekend_training on their own, helped the athletes make sure they would be ready for the competition.

Local meets began with bowling The basketball meet was held on March 20 at Lincoln High. Track and field was on April 24 at Lincoln East. The state meet was held at Creighton University in Omaha on May 20, 21, 22. Approximately 125 students from the Lincoln Public School system went to Omaha for the state meet.

The Student Council aided the LPS teams by holq.ing a fund drive to purchase t-shirts for use during the games. A presentation was given to the student body to help gain awareness of what the Special Olympics are and how they aid the handicapped and mentally retarded. It is hoped that in the years to come, LHS students will volunteer to help during the games and will attend the games to root for these "spe-cial " athletes.

An LHS victory

Angelic voices heard

"We're number one! We're number one!" was the chant reverberating from Kimball Hall on the UNL campus as Lincoln High won first place honors in the All : City Choir Contest held Monday, February 15.

The victory was an unexpected surprise, as East High was favored going into the contest.

Joseph Skutchan, Concert Choir Director, was very pleased with the results

" For the past three years we've had a chance," he said. "I was extremely happy for the students."

LHS tallied a score of 91 points out of 100; East High was their closest competitor with 86; next was Southeast with 77,

and then Northeast with 70 points.

Along with pleasure, there was also surprise in the hearts of Mr. Skutchan and the students.

"I thought Mr. Skutchan would go into shock," was the reaction Bass Section Leader Mike Steele saw.

"The first thing everybody did," said junior Dennis Lacher, "was jump up and start hugging people."

With all the excitement, Mr. Skutchan was concerned about students injuring themselves.

"He was afraid someone was going to fall into the orchestra pit, " said junior Joel Thummel. "Everybody was so surprised we won."

Proudly showing off the first place trophy is Concert Choir President Ken Hammer.

In the beginning, there was wood pulp and charcoal. Man was not satisfied with these alone, however. A place was needed to create. And so, Lincoln High was in· vented.

After 111 years, a question is posed: which was here first, the school or Harold Scott? Dismissing this trivia from our minds, we look forward and back Forward to next year and back to the year just passed.

Traditionally, a yearbook closing memo· rializes spectacular events occurring during the school year. But who is to judge the importance of such events? Does the first place finish by Lincoln High' s Concert Choir in city-wide competition overshadow the achievements of this year's Varsity Foot· ball T earn? If you count trophies, yes; if you count effort no.

It is the every day effort, then, which provides for our significant events. Whether ifs the effort exhibited by a student studying for an Advanced American Literature test, or if ifs the effort put forth by an MR student adjusting to a new environment this year, it is simply that, the effort, which counts most.

It is not, therefore, the events that occurred we wish to memorialize, but the effort required to achieve these events.

Seniors Receive

The Lincoln High School tradition of honoring seniors for scholastic and activity achievement during their three years at LHS continued this spring.

Seniors received individual recognition for achievements in the areas of athletics, scholastics, fine arts and home economics during the annual Senior Awards Day assembly held May 25. Underclassmen, faculty members and parents viewed the ceremonies held in

Johnson Gym which have become one of the school's oldest traditions.

Although many seniors were recognized, several awards over the years have taken on added significance either because of the year the award was established or because of the overall area the honor encompasses.

Monte Mares was the winner of the school's oldest award, The Harry Sidney Dobbins Award. The award, which has been given every year since 1913, recognizes the most outstanding senior male athlete. Athletic Director Jim Sommers and varsity level head coaches

111 years and still • growing

How was the effort expressed at the Home of the Links? Reflecting back on the first semester, we watched ourselves entering the school in the fall, still tan from the all too short summer, later fading under the florescent light and the pressures of a full schedule. Each of us had our plans for how we would keep our grades up and sanity together at the same time.

As the year progressed, those plans became blurred, yet somehow we managed to find the answers, even if we forgot the questions

But persevering on, we entered the second semester. The building became familiar, the halls wore down with the trodding of post-adolescent feet, and we grew further obsessed with our work. That is, most of us, although some of us kept the fun-loving spirit alive.

And now, with the second semester behind us, the 111 th link has been added. Instead of looking back, we look forward to the 112th link. For next year we will be the biggest school in the state, and through our efforts, we will be the best.

Efforts payed off for these 1982 Senior Award Winners; Front Row: Sherry Minzel, Peggy Gaube, Anne Buntain, Kenney Loos, Michelle Maxey, Jon Riecke. Second Row: Julie Hill, Alan Worster, Beth Broman, Amy Thone, Bob Lyons, Will Sahs. Top: Andrew Chisholm.

Student Council Service Award was given to Anne Buntain. The award honors the senior who has made outstanding contributions to Lincoln High School activities during their three years. Anne was a member of the Drill Team and a three-year member of Student Council. During the past year she was the council's vice-president.

Four different awards honor seniors for their achievements in music. These winners are selected by Music Department Chairperson Mr. Joe Skutchan and vocal teacher Mrs. Julie

Knowles and instrumental instructor Mr. John Ulrich.

The John Philip Sousa Award was given to both Bob Lyons and Alan Worster. This award honors Lincoln High's outstanding senior symphonic band member.

Other music award recipients were Andrew Chisholm who won the Arion Foundation Music Award, Will Sahs, winner of the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award, and Peggy Gaube, who received the National School Choral Award.

Also, for the past several years, the

Home Economics Department, under the direction of Chairperson Mrs. Kay Sayre, has honored seniors for their achievements in home economics. The department has developed four different awards. This year Lisa Lyons won the Clothing, Textiles and Design Award. Julie Hill received the Nutrition and Foods Award and Tammy Krause won the Housing and Interiors Award. The Human Development and Relationships Award was shared by Pam Jose and Jodi Boden.
