Meeting challenges is nothing new to the students and faculty of Nebraska's largest high school. We have always had the extra burden of a tarnished reputation to bear. Yet., teamwork and a strong tradition of fine education
continue to persevere despite teacher contract disputes and new administrative regulations. Taking the good with the bad is a necessity for survival in high school, and the capacity for flexibility played a key role in our development as individuals.
Being denied the title of journalist was a problem with which Links staff members had to cope. Most accusers felt that yearbook was for pop journalists, reserved strictly for high school students and simplistic style.
But Editor Kevin Fullerton disagreed. The senior felt that it's still a publication, and the effort and work put into it is just as much as the Advocate.
"We cover the school like a newspaper does. It's just more of a magazine style," he said.
According to senior Beth Kolb, a person needed to be a mixture of an independent and a team worker to survive on yearbook. Not only did the students need to show individual initiative, but they also worked with other staff members to merge all the work into a single publication.
Advisor Lee Johnson felt that students learned the technical side of putting out a publication. They learned layout, writing and organizational skills. They also gained a
personal knowledge of communicating and getting along with not only the other staff members, but also other people in the school and community.
Everyone had their own impression of what was best about the class. Beth felt that the staff was a fun group.
"I liked the wild and cosmic people," she said. "The staff meetings usually became crazied riots, but things still got done."
Nine of the 13 staff members went on a journalism trip to Chicago. They returned with a two honorable mention awards in a national write-off competition. Jenny Barron placed in yearbook theme and design, and Troy Johnson in yearbook photography.
The distributing of the books was the special part of the year for Kevin. He said that all the hard work and effort seemed unappreciated until the students received their yearbooks.
"When you see the kids' faces and hear their excitement about the book, you know it was worth it," he said.

If the views of the staff members were any indication, 1983's Advocate was an improved publication over the year before. A consensus of the seventh-period journalists agreed that attitude changes were major factors.
Layout Editor Kevin Fullerton assessed the paper as "the best in the city and one of the best in the state." He attributed the Advocate's success to an experienced staff.
" Most of the people have a pretty good attitude," Kevin said. "They're confident, and they believe that we are good."
Senior Lori Baehr agreed.
" I think people have gotten into it," she said.
The feature editor was please.cl with the interaction among the 16-member staff. •
"We get along," she said. "We can kid around with each other."
However, the camaraderie did not interfere with the production of the 12 issues. Second-year advisor Carolynn Goodwin was happy with individual efforts.
"I think every member on staff ha s a better appreciation of the publication process and what it takes to put an issue together," she said.
Citing commitment, writing and staff interaction as strengths, Goodwin hoped next year's journalists have comparable qualities.
"When fifteen ambitious high school students get together, things get done," said Student Council President Dave Duffy. He added, "We have the smallest, yet one of the most active councils in the city of Lincoln, if not in the state of Nebraska."
Five members were chosen from the junior and senior classes. A primary and general election was held in the spring. Sophomore representatives
were elected in _ the fall after they become orientated with the school.
The council meets every day during fifth period under the direction of Social Studies teacher Buford Grosscup.
The council w:as involved in many annual events such as the Homecoming festivities, class competitions, Sadie Hawkins, Holiday dances, Brown Bag Day, and attending meet-
ings of the Student Advisory Board.
The council recognized outstanding students and faculty through their "I Make a Difference Award" which is presented to people who do not usually get the credit they deserve.
The student council's officers for 1982-83 were Dave Duffy, president; Jill Johnson, vice-president, Pam Wal den, secretary; Jay Thornton, treasurer; and Sandy Scheerger, historian.
Last year, a student relations group, the Equity Committee, was formed. This year, the group was larger than ever and even more active, according to member- Kate Barron. ••
"People who are conce~ned about Lincoln High have come to be in the • group." She continued, "It's not a select thing like it was last year and I think it's much better this way. Right now, there are about 10 of us."
The activities of the group focused on the ways that students can begin to understand each other. The members felt that informing people about cultures other than their own was a way to minimize problems.
Kate spoke of the committee's plans. "We've been working with the Teacher's Equity Committee and Mr. Nelson. We're trying to initiate something like what was done with the MR program this year," she explained. "They had presentations to introduce them to everyone so nobody would be afraid. We want to do the same sort of thing for the new students here."
This wasn't the only activity that the committee planned. They also began to post information about different cultures on the bulletin boards in the halls.
Kate also emphasized that the committee is an ongoing organization • that will probably exist as long as there is an interest.

Serving the community and the students of Lincoln High was the main goal for the senior, junior, and sophomore steering committees.
The senior class officers for 1982-83 were President Debra Fiala, VicePresident Jay Thornton, Secretary Becky Pankers, and Treasurer Barb Goodwin.
"We're not limiting ourselves just to a class gift," commented Debra. Other activities that were sponsored by the committee included the senior awards convocation, the senior luncheon, and a special project which donated $70 to the Battered Shelter.
The junior steering committee was responsible for the production of the junior-senior Prom.
"It takes a lot of work to make everything run smoothly. I don't think the students realize how much work is necessary to organize Prom," said Jackie Jackson.
Fund raising must be started early in the year in order to raise the $2000 necessary.
This year's chairpersons were Suzy Hergenrader, prom theme and decorations chairperson; Julie Pelowski, band chairperson; Renee Smice, date and facilities chairperson; Jenny Merkel, refreshments and 24-Steering Committees
flowers chairperson; and Kim Hein, treasurer.
According to sponsor Mary Beth Lehmanowsky, interest in thejuniorsenior Prom has remained relatively the same each year.
The sophomore steering committee spent the year raising money for
1984's Prom formal. They sold candy and Christmas items to attempt to meet their goal of $500.
Committee members participated in Honey Sunday as well as the Great American Smokeout.
This year's officers were Haley Smith, president; Blinda Buettner, vice-president; Kristi Malhoit, secretary; and Marie Willadsen, treasurer.

One of the most popular clubs in school, Mummers (the drama group) once again had an interesting year. According to President David Duffy, this was due to the quality of the members.
"The Mummers are great people. They're just so diverse. Everybody is different," he said. "They're fun. They know how to work hard. Also, they're very accepting." David added, "They're aff very dramatic."
The membership of Mummers covered all three classes and the club often gave new students a chance to fit in.
"One really great thing about Mummers this year is that I think the sophomores felt accepted right away," David said. "They really felt like part of the club."
David was also pleased with the new style of leadership displayed by the club officers. One of the main goals this year was to loosen the club structure.
"We wanted to get everyone involved," he explained. "I always felt that in the past, the members just came to the meetings, sat there and

listened to the agenda that the officers had made up and already discussed. The officers made all of the decisions beforehand."
The matter of snacks was another vital aspect of the club. The serving of food items during the meetings was a basic part of the Mummers' way of life, according to David.
"We used to feed people snacks a lot last year," he said. "We fed them a lot,
but this year Mummers was in debt. The jewelry sale pulled us out, though. So, we'll start feeding people at the meetings again."
David cited popcorn as the Mummers' favorite food.
"We buy popcorn in mass quantities every day after school and we enjoy popcorn a lot," he said. "It's the natural food of the Mummers. That's the truth." ..

The thought of debating on the subject "Should the United States curtail its sale of arms to foreign countries?" would make most students weak in the knees. The sturdy stock of the debate club, however, was not intimidated as the two-man teams took on the topic.
The average debater must think logically, be ·able to express himself while remaining organized, have research abilities, and above all be dedicated to succeed in his task, said senior Brad Walker.
Twelve individuals, under the guidance of Sue Cain, tried to develop these skills as the debate season led them from week to week to different
tournaments in and out of Nebraska.
The one-man debaters (who debated different topics throughout the season) and the two-man teams of 1983 were more prepared than last year, said Brad.
"We did a lot of work before we even started school," he said.
Another difference in the team, according to Brad, was the addition of two mascots. Buskie the Debate Squirrel and Biffthe Debate Alligator kept the team company.
Two promising newcomers proved to be juniors David Jagoda and Jenny Ackerman, said Brad, who feels the 1983-84 team should be strong.
Left-"You expect me to believe that?" says Brad Walker, and David Duffy is unsure. BelowDepending on good looks and charm is risky, so Brad Walker relies on visual aids to accompany his after-dinner speech.
To most people, speech is just a manner of communication. But to Speech team members, it's something much more.
Each member had at least one type of speaking event that they found to suit them (occasionally writing) to memorize and present at tournaments. The events were subheaded as speaking, interpretation and drama.
Coach Dutch Fichthorn felt that the team did very well, and was one of the top teams in the state. He said that an important goal for the year was to finish among Nebraska's top three teams.
Although students gained experience in performing and in writing skills, it was unanimous that the tour-
naments were the highlights of being on the team.
Going out of town, visiting other schools and meeting new people kept the students' minds off their main concern-their speeches.
Devon Schumacher said that the common fear was that the students would get upin front of the judges and freeze. Or worse yet, the speech wouldn't go over well.
"It's a terrible feeling to be doing a (humorous interpretation) and no one laughs," he said.
Devon reasoned that some judges felt if they laughed it would distract · the students.
But Devon added with a grin, "I'd prefer they'd laugh."
Passing by the fire station on 18th and "Q" streets, one notices a large mural of an old-fashioned steam engine pulled by horses. This feat has been accomplished by the Lincoln High Art Club.
The mural was just one of the club's projects for 1983.
"Our main goal this year was to raise money so we could visit out-ofstate art colleges," related Trisha Kitchen.
This goal was accomplished by selling items that the club created, such as pottery and greeting cards.
The club toured the Kansas City Art Institute and the Kansas City Art Museum. Members also planned on a trip to the Colorado Art Institute.
The club met on Thursdays after school under the direction of Darrell Hute.
Interest dwindled this year, and Jerry Gaines attributed this to the students' lack of knowledge of the club. "People would enjoy it if they would come more often," he reflected.
Gaines expects his future will include an art career. A few years of study at - the Kansas City Art Institute, drawing commercial art, and maybe political cartooning are utmost in his thoughts.
According to senior Kevin Fullerton, the club was designed to create an appreciation for art in students.
"Students have the chance to find
what their talents are," said Kevin. They all have a talent for artthey just have to find it within themselves."
What Fullerton liked most about the meetings were that they were not structured. The club did not elect officers or take attendance.

Problems of expense in producing Image magazine made a few changes this year, and possibly for the future also.
Traditionally, the copy board picked the stories, poems, and essays, and the art board selected the submitted drawings for the publication. In 1983, however, Image didn't have a selected art board, but the art club assisted art teacher George Sedlacek in choosing the art and putting together the layout.
According to Sedlacek, there were fewer art pieces put in because of the expense of reproducing the art work. He also said that there was a span of only two weeks that students could submit work . This eliminated lastminute sketches that weren't the students' best work.
"If they didn't have it done, it probably wouldn't have gotten finished anyway," he said.
Another example of the· change that cost presented was the possibility of a city-wide publication for the 1983-84 school year.
Judy Keller, one of the sponsors of Image, admitted that combining the publications into one would eliminate the high cost that the high schools have to pay
But Keller wasn't sure that a citywide publication would be the answer. Not only would there be a charge for receiving a copy, she also
felt that students enjoy having their own exclusive edition.
"I think students enjoy a Lincoln High magazine," she said; "It can compete as well as any other high school literary magazine."
Senior Beth Kolb felt that Image met a need for students.
"Students need to be recognized in areas that are usually overlooked," she said.

For the average student, the definition of a good time usually doesn't include working Algebra problems. However, there was a group that had fun doing just that.
According to Math Club president Bapi Gupta, the group met every two weeks in order to review for upcoming Atlantic-Pacific Tests and math contests.
" The At-Pac is really a big deal for us," Bapi said. "We usually do quite well on it."
The meetings were very informal and the members seemed to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
Boredom wasn't much of a problem , although Bapi admitted, "It took a little charisma to make it really exciting."
Senior Kim Stoakes seemed to agree.
"Bapi directed the meetings and managed not to put everyone to sleep." Kim concluded, "It was pretty fun."
Lack of posters lamented
Lack of publicity and support doesn't seem to be much of a problem for high school athletics , but other clubs seem to be lacking in these two areas. One such club, according to senior Tim Leever , is Computer Club.
"At our last contest, how many people watched us?" said Tim. "The Big '0'. But how many people go to the boys basketball games? They get posters, peppers and even a band."
The approximately 10-member club, under the guidance of Patience Fisher and Bob Tice, seemed to warrant an audience as they consistently competed in the upper ranks of the state. In 1982 they placed first in Nebraska and second in the region on the ACSL contest.
While a band at a computer contest might seem a little ridiculous, members of the computer club would like to see a little more support for the club in the future, said Tim.

According to two of its members, DECA was more than just hearing about different areas of marketing.
Senior Phyllis Young said that students who joined the club got chances to meet many new people through the various competitions (including districts, held February 5, and the state conference held March 17-19).
Kevin James, senior, liked this aspect of the club the most.
"It was just a real neat experience going to the contests," he said. "If you finish high, it kind of gives you a sense of good feeling."
The only requirement for the club was for each student to be enrolled in the marketing class (which was taught by Bill Myers, DECA spon- • sor).
Throughout 1982-83, the club engaged in various projects including pooling its members' money to buy gifts for the children at Cedars Home; selling homecoming carnations and also selling Valentine suckers with messages.
There even existed an innercity bowling league consisting of DECA members. Phyllis said it was just one of many examples of the club's versatility.
Starting a new club is never easy, but the members of FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) began
with goals to accomplish an interest in business with enthusiasm.
The chapter, called so because they are part of a national group, tried to accomplish all the goals that had been set up. They included money management, developing business leadership, and facilitating the transition from school to work.
Vice-president Edee Davis, senior, said that while DECA dealt more with marketing, FBLA centered around business with practice in skills such as shorthand, filing and typing.
According to Edee, FBLA benefited students because it helped them prepare for the future.
"It's an organization that gave students the •opportunity to get experience to be_ready to enter the world of business," she said.
Below-Preparing a future in the medical field keeps Gail Bates in deep thought. RightMedical Club gave students a chance to get an inside view of possible future careers.
The opportunity for exploring medical occupations influenced students to join Medical Club.
Brought together by their mutual interest, the club, which varied in membership from 10 to 20 met about once a month. They decided what occupations they wanted to look into and what facilities they wanted to tour.
In 1983, the group toured the prison where physicals are given, the
Diagnostic Center and Nordon Lab. According to sponsor Joan Huffer, students weren't required to be enrolled in Health Occupations class. "Some students can't be in the class because they're taking math and science," she said, "but that's important, too."
Junior Teri Urevich felt that the club helped students get a better view of their potential careers. She said that seeing a job from all angles helped students decide if that was really what they wanted to do.
According to Teri, some changed their minds about pursuing a certain career, and decided to look into lother health-related areas. But it was also common for a student to work even harder towards his/her future health career.

A more organized look and new interest helped the club in their role as a service club.
The Boys' L-Club also added a new dimension as the giving of a gift to the athletic department was discussed. President Tim Roseberry said the club was bored with its role as a fundraiser.

Using Communist lingo for a name doesn't make Comrades sympathetic to a radical cause. But the nature of the group does mean that diverse political beliefs may exist within it.
At any case, the only thing political about Comrades is its name. President Brian Carstens made it clear that the only function of the 20member group was to welcome new students to the school and aid them in their transitions to a new setting.
"We're more of a social group," the senior asserted. "The most fun for me were all the social activities" which, he said, were diverse as well as numerous.
One of the group's more important projects was helping during the sophomore orientation held February 8. Comrades served refreshments, and its members' responsible actions ( cleaning the cafeteria) earned them-and sponsor Linda Crump-
accolades from Principal Sanford Nelson, Kathy Raymer (assistant principal for instruction), a janitor and one of the cooks.
The only requirement to join Comrades was to be a junior or senior. Sophomores, Brian said, were not familiar enough with the school. However, they do have the opportunity to join at the end of their sophomore year and elect officers for the next school year.
First-year sponsor Crump added that sophomores weren't eligible because they were the subjects of tour guides.
Crump said her favorite aspect of Comrades was "definitely the students." She also liked the fact that the group was entirely self-supportive, allowing its members to "do what we want to do."
Senior Karen Munsterman, however, just thought "it's a really fun group."
Although membership fluctuated at any given time from three to 15 people, Chess Club nevertheless retained players who wanted to improve their games and also help others improve.
Senior Diana Portrey said she had improved her play to the point where she could castle (switching the rook with the king at certain points). She said she'll use the move regularly because "it helps your defense."
Players got .the opportunity to challenge a computer, and Diana said only a few people were skillful enough
to beat it.
"When you play against (it), you have to watch your moves more because it usually doesn't make mistakes," she said.
But even the computer didn't prevent members from playing matches with each other. Diana said ·plans were considered to take their games to other schools and play them against teams there. •
"They did it one time (went to another school to play), but I think they'll do it more next year," she said.
County government explored
The annual County Government Day was held November 17, 1982, once again giving students an opportunity to experience first-hand how the government works at the local level. •
Senior Todd Bullock was elected by his peers to · shadow Election Commissioner Elaine Usher. Todd said he had a good time and thought the day was rewarding b3cause he "learned now all of the offices depended on each other."
Jamie Phelps, clerk of the district court-electee, said she would have enjoyed herself more if the actual clerk had been available. After meeting her, the senior said an assistant became the\our guide. Traditionally, the office-holder and their "shadows" eat lunch together, but the clerk didn't show up for that, either.
However, Jaimie was still pleased with her experiences. "You were really exposed to the working environment," she said.

Terrorism was one of the main topics at the 1983 edition of the Nebraska Model United Nations, held February 10-12 at the U niversity of Nebraska-Lincoln Student Union. Yehuda Blum, Israeli ambassador to the UN, gave the keynote address to an estimated audience of 500 delegates.
Senior Jake Meyers attended the event as a page, and said he didreceive an education.
"I learned how difficult it was for the delegates to get their views across," he said. "It was really chaotic at times."
Jake thought that procedure was probably similar to the real UN parliamentary procedure.
Nevertheless, Jake enjoyed himself and would be willing to do it again. Four-year veteran Shari Lewis echoed his sentiments.

Every now and then students at LHS caught a glimpse of a court jester or a lady-in-waiting. No, Mankind was not entering a time warp back to the Renaissance period. The Madrigal Singers, were preparing for a performance.
The Madrigals sang songs from Medieval England, and dressed in the proper attire from that era. After many years of researching, director Joe Skutchan organized the first • Madrigal group which is the only one of its kind in Lincoln.
The Madrigals put on an annual Yuletide Feaste every December, and a Spring Feaste in May. In addition to these performances, the Madrigals also performed at other schools.
The medieval outfits added a touch of authenticity to the group.
"It would look pretty stupid," declared Jenny Barron, "to wear swing choir outfits and sing Renaissance music. Plus, it was a way of getting into music. You became a person during that period."
When a multitude of people raise their voices in song, the results can be glorious. This was demonstrated by Concert Choir.
Under the direction of Joe Skutchan, the approximately 80 members of the group met every day during fourth period to practice for the contests and public performances in which they participated.
The choir, according to senior Brad Carlson, sang a variety of musical works, including old Latin and Ger- • man pieces, as well as pieces from choral work series.
Latin pieces, said Brad, were what the choir as a whole sang best.
"We had good sound and tone quality (on Latin pieces)," said Brad.
His personal favorites, however, were the songs from the choral work series, because they proved to be "jazzier tunes, and more popular."
The sound of the choir was as good as last year's choir, said Brad, but the choir of 1982-83 was a little more disorganized.
Brad said creation of a ·student director, a much debated issue in the choir, would not have helped this disorganization.
"He or she (a student director) would not get any respect from the students. Ifhe or she got snappy, he or she would be looked down on," said Brad.
The musical was also a much discussed topic with the choir.
The tryouts for "The King and I" were open to the school, instead of the usual restricted-to-the-choir tryouts.
"I always thought tryouts should be just concert choir people," said Brad. "People who have nothing to do with singing shouldn't be on stage."

Varsity Swing Choir looked a little different this year. A livelier sound and new steps were two additions, said senior Bruce Brady, as the choir swung to a new director.
Barb Ludemann replaced Julie Knowles as director of the choir when Knowles left to be married in Oregon. Ludemann formerly was the voice teacher at Pound Junior High.
There were several noticeable differences between Ludemann and Knowles, said Bruce, but both are good directors.
"Mrs. Ludemann does her own choreography, and tends to stick to livelier music," said Bruce, "while Knowles was our accompanist, and
tended to choose more serious music.''
The choir sang a combination of different styles, said Bruce. Jazz songs, old songs, medleys from the 1920's and "modern stuff' were all part of the choir's repertoire.
Below-Sophomore Swing Choir practices molding their mouths into fly traps. LeftPerforming is the most important aspect of the swing choir.
Sophomore students were given a chance to show their singing talent in the sophomore swing choir. They combined music, dance, and talent to guarantee a good performance every time.
The choir's busy schedule included shows at nursing homes, luncheons, and an occasional school performance.
Keith Hale stated that Sophomore
Swing Choir helped him in more ways than just developing his singing talent.
"Sophomore Swing Choir helped me with my drama because it taught me stage presence," he said.
The choir housed 18 members who tried out their ninth grade year at their respective junior highs. Sponsor Joe Skutchan selected members according to talent.
Hale added that most members try out for a spot on the varsity swing choir as juniors and seniors. Hale said he would probably try out because he likes to sing, and enjoys working with people.
Michelle Wylie added, "Mr. Skutchan really makes us work hard. I haven't had a teacher do that!" she added with a grin.

Mixed group emerges
Although Boys' Chorus was no longer offered this year, something new and improved was provid e d in its place. Mixed Chorus, directed by Joseph Skutchan, ended any potential battle between the sexes and had males and females working together to create a single musical effect.
It was open to any sophomor e , •junior or senior that wanted to learn more about music.
"It was for anybody that wanted to sing," said senior member Vince Cruickshank.
According to Vince, the group sp e nt time working on pieces for school concerts and the All-City Choral Festival. They also concentrated on developing sight reading skills.
"I think it was a way for sophomores and juniors to prepare for Concert Choir auditions," Vince said.
Whatever its purpose, it brought the two sexes together in perfect harmony.
Girls' /Soundsations continue
Open to any sophomore, junior or senior, Girls' Chorus provided an opportunity for any girl to learn about music and singing with a large group. Also under the direction of Barbara Ludemann was Soundsations, the advanced girls' choir. It was considered a more select group.
According to Soundsation member Dayne Haynes, "Most of the people in the group were just there to have fun. Music isn't••always the main thing." She continued, "Mrs. Ludem~nn is a lot of fun to be around."
Dayna said that the group usually did about four concerts at school and sometimes got a chance to perform at other places, such as junior highs.

"It's a good experience, especially for people who want to go on in the field of music," said first chair violinist Chris Gordon, when asked about her feelings toward Orchestra. Her responsibilities included tuning the orchestra each day and keeping the members reasonably quiet and attentive. Chris admitted that the dynamic personalities of the members often made it difficult to keep order:
"Sometimes, I thought it was for other kids to adjust to having someone their own age in a position of authority," she said.
Still, it seemed that Orchestra had no problem getting down to business when it was required.
"Rehearsals got pretty intense," Chris said. "There are quite a few people who work very hard and are very dedicated."
The music Orchestra played was chosen by director John Ulrich. Chris said that the members usually accepted his choices without much comment.
"We didn't argue with him , but usually, if we liked a piece, we work harder to learn it," said Chris. "If we didn't like it, we weren't as enthusiastic, but we still worked hard."
Aside from orchestral activities, many members were also involved in honor groups such as All-State, Hastings and Wesleyan.
Member Pat Gaines explained, "People respect it when you get into one of those selected groups." He continued, "They realize the extra work it takes to audition and get selected."
Pat summed up his feelings about Orchestra with the remark, "It was a really worthwhile experience."
It may make some people think of words such as "aid" and "rubber" but to about 120 students at Lincoln High, the word "band" meant music.
Seniors, juniors and sophomores united to make the band one of the largest and most diverse groups in the school.
There were no auditions to get into it, but once admitted, the members were divided into concert and symphonic bands. It also divided during sporting events into black and red •bands. In fact, games are often the only place that the average student expects to see the band, according to Treasurer Becky Pankers, a senior.
"Sometimes I get the feeling that people think the band _ exists only to play at games," she said. "Marching Band takes a lot of hard work, but the music we play at the basketball games doesn't take long to work out." Becky continued. "Actually, it takes up very little of our time."
The band spends rehearsal time working on music for school concerts. There is also a band contest where each of the four Lincoln high schools are graded on their performances. This also requires a lot of work.
According to Drum Major Jan Roth, no matter what the activity, it seemed that band members were always willing to throw themselves into it wholeheartedly.
"I'm really very proud of our band," the junior said. "We had a great group of people and I can tell that everyone worked hard."
Below-Putting
The varsity jazz band members worked on using their potential to the fullest to receive the best sound possible.
Practice was an important part of getting the best sound, so practice they did, whether it was preparing for a performance at the Southwest Business Association or the First Plymouth Church.
They also worked on their techniques at the Waverly Jazz Festival, held February 14.
Senior Kenny Meints said that the band tried to have at least two weeks to prepare for a performance. Sometimes, though, they were rushed for time.
"We did a pretty good job even when we were given a small amount of time," he said.
The oniy requirement was that the windplayers had to be in either symphonic or concert bands, or Orchestra. However the rhythm section didn't have to meet that requirement.
Kenny felt that the best thing about
Jazz Band was playing with a small, select group of musicians.
"Every part was important," he said. "Everyone really counted in the bahd as a whole , and when a part was missing it made a difference."
Varsity Jazz Band
Preparing students interested in Varsity Jazz Band was just one of the purposes of Prep Jazz Band. The band introduced members to jazz styles, and also gave kids a chance to play jazz who couldn't be in Varsity Jazz.
Lincoln High is unique in the jazz category. According to Band Director John Ulrich, LHS is the only one of the Lincoln Public Schools that offer both varsity and prep jazz.
"In the other schools kids who don't make Varsity Jazz do not get a chance to play. It is one reason our jazz program is so strong year after year," he said.
There were 25 members in the band Anyone who could play one of the instruments joined with Ulrich's permission. The members consisted of sophomores, juniors, and a few seniors.
The band met as a class, fourth period, every day.
Ulrich said he liked to teach the class, but it had its limits.
"I enjoyed the class when the kids were anxious to learn and when they wanted to live out their "rock and roll fantasy" or resist instruction in jazz styles it was a real strain to teach."
promote spirit
The largest spirit group atLHS was the pep club. The 100-member club added support to athletes, as well as to athletic events. It sponsored bus trips, dances, holiday parties, pep rallies, picnics, and pizza parties for the members involved, and also raised money to pay for the things they sponsored.
Points were needed to tryout for cheerleading and Pomalinks, and it was also necessary to be a Pep Club member. Peppers were required to attend games regularly, cheer, make signs and wear their uniforms.
Officers were elected in the Spring for the following year. The officer's responsibilities were to organize activities for Pep Club, plan meetings, keep track of pep club correspondence, and attend Spirit Board and Booster Club meetings.
Officers for 1983 were Kathy Turner, president; Carrie Drinkwine, vice-president; Clarinda Chadd, sectretary; Michelle Hawley, treasurer; Lisa Kupke, seargant of arms; Nancy Zegers, membership chairperson.
Group has good image
Cheerleaders are often thought of as dizzy or silly, and are sometimes seen in a bad light.
This, however, is not the - case at Lincoln High, according to senior Alicia Smith.
"People don't really look down on cheerleaders," said Alicia, "but we were teased a lot because we're in the spotlight a lot."
It may seem like people "get down" on the cheerleaders because they·are not able to go to every sporting event, said Alicia.
"We tried to give equal support, but sometimes it didn't work out," -she said.
In general, Alicia said cheer leading was work that involved endurance, flexibility in schedule, a good attitude, and some expense.
All of it, however, was worth it, she thought.
"I've had fun. I couldn't give it up," said Alicia. "I'll miss it when I graduate."

Working with alargegroupisnever easy, especially when there are 16 people trying to keep time with the beat. The Pomalinks, however, took this in stride to create entertainment for sporting events.
Along with such characteristics as talent and a sense of balance, a person must also believe in democracy and be willing to accept majority rule to be a good Pomalink, said junior
Diane Schoen.
This may sound complicated, but a democratic form of deciding routines, and making other decisions is used, said Diane. Sometimes, this democratic system leads to differences in opinion.
"People get fed up. Instead of accepting other people; they try to change them instead of changing themselves," said Diane. "You just have to learn to work with other people."
Diane hopes that rumors of differences between drill team members this year will not discourage potential Pomalinks of 1983-84.
The few differences that do occur do not stand in the way of having fun, as Diane has classified here first year as a Pomalink as a good experience. "I enjoyed it," said Diane. "I got to meet a lot of people."

The few differences that do occur do not stand in the way of having fun, as Diane has classified her first year as a ·Pomalink as a good experience.
Students may have noticed a new spirit group around school. This organization is the Flag Corps. Flag Corps, which was discontinued in 1981-82 due to lack of interest, was revitalized with tremendous success.
"I think the students enjoyed watching us," stated Dee Dee Rose.
How did one become a part of the 15member Corps? According to Rose, they had to learn basic motions, such as marching in formation. Band Director John Ulrich made the selections.
Although they received no academic credit, these hard-working girls reaped rewards in many ways. They received 2.5 ECA (extra curricular activity) points, but most of all they were repaid by the thrill of performing.
"It was fun to perform in front of an audience,'' conceded Rose.
Flag Corps members were found · performing at the State Fair, football games, basketball games, band competitions, and an occasional pep rally.
"Since both groups perform during similar activities it was easy to keep it all together," she said.
The officers for 1983 were Marsha Lyons, president; Kristi Gish, vicepresiden t; Laurie Allison, secretary; and Dee Dee Rose, treasurer.
The Flag Corps was associated with the band, but they were not sponsored by Ulrich. The corps was under the direction of staff member Louise Bailey. Bailey was also the drill team sponsor, but she related that she did not mind.

To initiate the festivities, a Distinguished Alumni assembly was held during fourth period. This year's alumni were John Campbell, George Sauer, and Terrence McClary. They joined Link fans later that evening at the game to observe the crowning of
king and queen during halftime. The royal winners were Tim Roseberry and Janel Ullman. Attendants were Dennis Latcher, Laurie Haas, Les Monroe, Pam Walden, Russ Ehrlich, • Sarah Babb, Fred Hicks and Pam Wenzl. The Homecoming court then joined jubilant Links for a victorious celebration at the dance.
When asked how he received the news about being chosen, King Tim responded he found out during the game.
"I was more concerned about winning the game, but afterwards I was glad that I had won," he said.

A state of confusion might have been what some viewers felt when they first began to watch The Skin Of Our Teeth, which was shown on November 11-12. But it soon became apparent that the all-school play simply demonstrated the morals and themes of human behavior.
The first act was all about the problems the human race had to overcome. Set during the Ice Age, Man had troubles in communication, searching for shelter, the use of fire and others.
The second act was based on the slogan "Enjoy Yourself." Man had become self confident, wealthy and lazy. The decisions of the day were the
choices between family and pleasure. The act ended with a huge rainstorm, with the Antrobus' and animals escaping by boat.
The third act showed the pain and suffering of war. Man had to rebuild his life and rise above the horrors of war.
Just when the audience was beginning to get engrossed in the play, Sabina (Gretchen Eisentrager) reminded them that a play was all it was.
The twist in this unique play was that the performers were actors in the play, acting out another production.
Sophomore Keith Hale felt that the audience was probably shocked the
first time Sabina supposediy forgot her lines, but after they realized that it was a part of the play, they relaxed and enjoyed it.
It wasn't just the plot and theme that were unique, but also the set and scenery. Instead of the usual cardboard used for walls, the scenery was made out of wood, to withstand the unusual movement it underwent.
Junior Eric Lipsky felt that The Skin Of Our Teeth was entirely different from any other play, containing many symbols and ideas. He also thought that to get a meaning from the play, it would have had to have been done well 1 and Lincoln High did just that.
Left-Sabina (Gretchen Eisentrager) anxiously comments on the state of the world in the opening scene of the play. Below-Preparing for the next act, Jay Thorn to laces up.
- What was J oynite? (A) the chance to show off talent; (B) an experience that holds fond memories; (C) the opportunity to see fellow classmates perform with their own personal style; or (D) all of the above.
0 bviously the answer is D, as was the case with Joynite '83, held on January 20 and 22.
According to stage manager Lance Schumack, senior, the show not only gave students the chance to display their talents and entertain the student body, but also gave them experience in being on stage and learning how a show is put together. Once people passed the audition and were selected for J oynite, they had three to four practices before the show was actually put in order. A week before opening night, dress rehearsals began and the emcees, 60-Joynite
junior Patti O'Brien and sophomo1·e Keith Hale, put together their introductions. This gave the students a chance to see the other acts, and perfect their own.
An assembly was held on January 19 to get more students interested in attending J oynite. The preview showed three acts from the program: Consumer Probe; Substitute Judge; and singing by Michael Hunt and Michelle Speights.
The One, the Only, Joynite '83 was more of a title than a theme. Lance said that in the past the theme held a basic idea that was to be followed in the acts, but this year the open theme left the students to be general.
"They could be as unique as they wanted to," he said "There were no restrictions on them whatsoever."
"Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect and whistle a happy tune so no one will suspect I'm afraid. "
Sung by Anna to her son, Louis, these lyrics become the base of the 1983 musical, Rodgers and Hammerstein's The King and I performed March 10-12.
Anna, a well-educated teacher from England, went to Siam to teach the King ' s wives and children. Encountering more than she bargained for, Anna finds the King self-centered and unadmittingly unsure of himself.
Determined to educate her pupils despite frequent quarrels with the king, Anna gained a great amount of respect and love from the children and wives. Not only did she provide the opportunity for education, but she was a portrait of a knowledgable and highly moti':'ated woman.
Proving that a woman could be more than just a wife and mother, Anna taught her students relevant principals, fought for respect and justice for slaves, and stood up for her ovm rights.
Junior Jenny Barron, who was a wife of the king, felt that through her
expedition Anna introduced many new ideas.
" She made the king realize that there was more to live for than just being a king, " she said.
Another important message brought out was the necessity of bravery. Whether it was needed to begin a new life in a strange land, take on a new role such as the prince was to do , or face the death of the king , the possession of bravery pulled the characters through their hesitation and pain.
Junior Jordan DeGrazia, who played Prince Chululongkorn , felt that one of the messages of the musical was for people to be sure of themselves.
"The story was saying not to be afraid to put out your values and ideas , and not to be afraid to express yourself, " he said.
Whether it was the teaching of the lace falling from the sky, the secret lovers , or the dedication that so many held for their king, everyone walked away from the musical with their own ideas of what made this production so memorable.

Only a few years ago, a tee-shirt and an old pair of faded jeans was the generally accepted uniform at Lincoln High. A glance through the 1977 Links showed many students in sweatshirts and other types of casual clothing. In 1983, chances are that there are a few sweatshirts around, but most are pastel-colored, worn with a matching blouse and a string of pearls.
"I definitely see a trend towards dressing nicer," said sophomore Erin Egan. "I usually change clothes three times before I leave the house."
"People don't think it's strange if

you dress up. Nobody ever asks why you're wearing a skirt or dress," she said.
Fitting in with a certain type of group may be the reason for all of this, according to Erin.
"Often, people dress in a certain way so that they fit into a particular social group, like preppies or newwave."
Whether the motive is social identity or just looking nice, the trend seems to be here for a while. Signs indicate a summer of bermuda shorts and deck shoes.

The 1982-83 school year saw the student body becoming proud parents?
Yes, but not of the typical bouncing baby boy or girl. Instead the adoptee was Mrs. Emma Price, resident of the lone house on the southwest corner of the Oval.
Price was adopted by the student council after the idea of involving her in LHS activities was introduced by Virgil Horne of PSAB.
Masterminding the LHS end of the adoption was junior Tony Lopez, who became her escort to several schoolrelated activities, and presented her

Graduation is a time of mixed emotions for many seniors. With 13 years of school behind them they venture out into the world. Endless future possibilities are tossed about in the dark recesses of their minds.
"I'm happy, yet I'm also sad," said Jacki Stacy. Jacki conceded she is glad to be graduating from high school, but she will miss friends, activities , and teachers.
For Tim Malone school ends in the middle of May Tim joined the National Guard and goes to boot camp in Georgia for three months. He has set his sights on attending Southeast Community College upon
his return. "I would rather graduate with my class and all my friends and wait until after graduation to go to Georgia," admitted Tim.
"I'm ready to go out and be on my own," responded Kevin Danley. Kevin said he enjoyed high school. He met many friendly p,eople, and plans on returning to athletic competitions next year. •
Katie Barron is also looking forward to graduation. "I'm excited about the transitions I will encounter after I graduate, and also about continuing my education in a different atmosphere," she s~id.

Upon entering high school, students quickly realize there are certain expectations they must fulfill. First and foremost are the graduation requirements.
Students are expected to attain a minimum of 150 credit points which are required for graduation.
According to senior Debra Fiala, the graduation requirements are too steep. "The large number of requirements make it difficult to get the electives you need for college. Although, some requirements are good.
"Take physical education for instance. A semester is required. You could take a semester of British

Literature instead!" she said. Faculty member Curt Ratliff did not agree. "The requirements as they are stated seem to encompass many of the skills and know ledge bases necessary for functioning in society." These classes are required so students can experience a wide range of courses and find a subject that interests them. Faculty member Carolynn Goodwin agreed. "There's nothing wrong with the graduation requirements," she said, "but there just isn't enough time in three years for students to enroll in all the classes they need, pl us the ones they desire to take."

Jody French has just completed the highest level of French offered on the high school level, and she's only a junior. What will she do next year?
A common solution these days is to take a class at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Senior Ingrid Olson, who has taken three classes at UN-L, feels that exposure to the college level is a worthwhile experience.
"It gives the student a taste of
what it's like at the U," said Olson. "It's also good for people who don't feel satisfied with the stuff at LHS."
Backing up this opinion is counselor Alma Howdeshell.
"I feel that it is worthwhile, especially when the student can continue a course sequence witho~t interruption," said Howdeshell.
The experience is also worthwhile • in the credit department. Students who take classes at UN-L receive full college credit which can be applied to their degree and requirements when they become full-time students.

Looking around a parking lot, it is sometimes easy to recognize the car of a certain person without knowing what they drive. Why is this? Is a car as much an extension of one's personality as the clothes one wears or the books one reads.
"Less today than it was 10 years ago." said Gene Theer, business manager of DuTeau Chevrolet. "Reality and practicality come into play more today than personality."
Refuting this argument is senior Lynda Lancaster, proud owner of a
1974 blue Volvo.
"I guess my car is me," said Lynda. The car has gone through no physical changes to be adapted to Lynda's personality, but she feels people can identify it as hers by the porn-pons, the food sacks and the books stacked inside.
"People say to me, 'Yeah, I can see you driving a car like that!" said Lynda.
Senior Marcia Rexilius agreed. "It matches her personality. She dresses preppy and the car is preppy."

The reputation of Lincoln High was in the spotlight throughout the year, both in the school and in the community.
Most LHS students felt that the school was considered tough and violent. According to junior Susan Steider, it was a typical stereotype that is pressed upon the school because of its diversity.
"It's the oldest and largest school," she said, "and it's such a melting pot of people. We just need to let others
know that we're not all in gan g fights."
Nancy Campbell, a senior at Lincoln Southeast, said that Lincoln High's rep{itation might have· been lowered more by the racial . conflict that sparked so much controversy in the fall. But, she added, the entire school shouldn't be put down because of a secluded incident
"Certain people get singled out and then their · reputation sticks out to represent the school's" she said.

Dear Diary,
It's all over now and the shock still hasn't worn off. Graduation has really caught me off guard. The thought of life without bells and sound announcements is alien to me. I'm not ready for the real world and it's certainly not prepared to deal with me
As I walked across the stage to receive my diploma, I suddenly realized that I never did find the fourth floor of LH S I had to take Biology independent study, sitting outside on the front steps I also lamented the fact that I never got to meet that mysterious and
charismatic figure. Wes the Electrician.
When I got hack to my scat, I examined the precious piece of paper, so important to my new freedom 1 noticed that mv name was spelled wrong 1 think the yearbook staff had somethin-g to do with it.
Anyway. right now I have the feeling that I'm lca,ing a lot of things unfinished. hut it's too late now. 1 ha\e to go on to college and learn about student unions and doing m, own laundr\'.

Whether they explored or exploited the American teenager, movies such as "Porky's", "The Last American Virgin" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" were undeniably popular in 1982.
These films often portray middle class high school students who are preoccupied with sex and drugs. The soundtracks are usually made up of music by popular performers like Jackson Browne and the Go-Gos.
Producers use this formula to make movies that they believe will appeal to young people, who make up the majority of the movie-going public.
The formula usually works, but box office receipts don't tell the whole story. The typical high school students who see the films often have mixed feelings about them.
Senior Tara Sc-ott explained, "I saw "Porky's" and "Fast Times". They were both pretty funny, but I didn't think they were very realistic. The people didn't act like normal teenagers."
She also seemed concerned about the effect on the junior high students who see the movies.
'I think a lot of people take them too seriously," she said.

Some students had to deal with the pressure of their parents. Sometimes they wondered if they were being compared to their older siblings.
Attending the same high school as an older brother or sister can have both negative and positive results.
Pat Gaines, a sophomore, said people have asked him if he was going to be involved in J oynite since his • senior brother Jerry was involved last year. Although Pat didn't participate in J oynite '83, he does share a few of the same interests as Jerry, but basically they have different activities in which they partake.
'-Junior Erica Broman felt that her parents might expect her grades to be ' like her older sister (Beth who graduated in 1982).
Looking and acting alike might be a strong family trait, but sometimes it was hard to banish once in schooi."
Sophomore Jenny Thornton said that attending the same school as her senior brother Jay, usually wasn't any problem. But, she added, once in a while she'd like to make her own impression.
"Sometimes people can't get over that we're related," she said, "and they go on and on about it."

Senior Jake Myers , who ~as also involved, said that he genuinely enjoyed the program.
"The session I liked the most was • all about appreciating differences among people," he said. "It was really a neat experience because there were so many different people."
He also said that he thought that the experience was a beneficial one that could help a lot of people.
"It brought up things that some people don ' t think about often," Jake said. " They'd sometimes rather ignore problems, instead of facing them. "
"It opened with a series of skits that brought up some points about the different ways that people discriminate against each other." she said. "Then we each got to choose three small group sessions.You could learn about women's changing roles, language, racial relationships and whatever."

There are many different types of people who mingle in the halls of LHS. Among these there are many who are particularly strong in academics, and they are gifted students.

Obtaining a driver's license entitles students to more than the privilege of driving to school. It also becomes an express to a certain amount of freedom.
While teens without a license are dependent on their parents or friends for rides, a person that can drive has the freedom of going more places when convenient to them.
Sophomore Brent Collier felt that it is an advantage to drive when he goes out with his friends. He said that he has more influence on where and when they went, than if someone else drove.
Once in a while driving all the time becomes a hassle. Junior Jason Becker said he rarely minds driving his friends around, but sometimes he wishes there were less people to be dropped off.
"Sometimes people expect me to take them home," he said, "and I feel obligated to take the friends they're with home, also."
Jason also said that driving gave him more freedom. Before he received his license, he said he had to either walk or ride his bike.
But junior Patti O'Brien got a car in April 1982, she couldn't use it because it wasn't insured. So she still had to rely on her parents and friends for rides.
"I have dependable friends that don't mind taking me home," · she said. "I used to have to mooch for rides, and I hated that. Once I got my license, though, I thought that things would be easier, but I guess there are always complications."

Most support of extra-curricular activities comes from the student body, but many teachers devote time outside of the classroom to attend Lincoln High-sponsored events.
If the spectators' bleachers are scanned at sports contests, students might see such teachers as Molly Spinar, Jill and Terrel Hanshew, and Charles Jones.
"It is important to attend these events because in this way, one has a r - better overall view of the school," Spinar said. "Also, I think the students appreciate it when you show an interest in their activities."
Students do appreciate it when teachers acknowledge their participation in events, as expressed by senior Janel Ullman. "It makes me feel proud t9 be on drill team when
my teachers tell me I did a good job at last night's game. That is what performing is all about."
Jill Hanshew agreed with Spinar. "To me it's nice to see students in a different environment and to support them in wltat they're doing."
Charles Jones enjoys attending Lincoln High functions and feels he can attribute this to his active participation -when he was in high school. Jones was a member of the basketball team as a student and says he enjoys observing basketball games at Lincoln High.
Staff members are as much a part of Lincoln High· as the students. So, for teachers as well as students, school does not always end after the final bell at 2:50.

Teachers had to deal with not only grading papers and making lesson plans, but also their reputations that were conceived by the student body. When it came to signing up for acertain class, many teachers found that their reputations could influence students.
Chemistry teacher, LeEtta Sprackling, said that although her notability is one of a tough instructor, she felt that the students who are dedicated enough would still take the course, if for no other reason than just the challenge.
A reputation for being a tough teacher scared a few students off, but according to English teacher Judy Keller, some came running back for more.
"This year I had a lot of positive feedback from students that were glad I made them work so hard," she said.
Not all teachers were branded as tough, though. Social studies teacher Jim Stork felt that he was known for his "simplicity in terms of flexi}?ility," although the subject wasn't as easy.
Stork felt that each student has a certain learning style, and when that is fitted with the same teaching style, it makes it easier for them to learn.
But, he added, if students were to limit themselves to teachers with one certain style, they would have trouble later on in life because they would lack important flexibility skills.

Far right-Cuddling a kinkajou, Tresha Seidel fulfilled her Citizenship Issues requirement at the Chet Ager Memorial Zoo.
Volunteering for Citizenship Issues class kept seniors active in the community. With the requirement of 20 hours, many students volunteered in more than one area. Several took the opportunity to work on the Bob Kerrey for Governor campaign during the fall. Others either worked for the Salvation Army during the Christmas season, or found other places of interest to them.
Lori Baehr, senior, worked on the Kerrey campaign and also at the Salvation Army. She said that since most seniors were already involved with other activities, it was sometimes hard to fit in the 20 hours. But she also felt that it was worth the extra effort. Learning how campaigns run and meeting the people kept her interested in her volunteering.
Some seniors gained more than just
points by volunteering. Senior Kelli Kellogg said she was glad she volunteered for the Kerrey campaign. Not only did she gain more appreciation for politics, but she also felt she had added something to the elections.
"I wasn't old enough to vote," she said, "so volunteering made me feel like I was contributing something to the elections."
Kelli was sure that she'd be willing to volunteer again, even if she wasn't required to do so for a class.
"I enjoyed it so much," she said. "I really liked being involved."
Both Kelli and Lori felt that people should take an active role in things that concern them.
Lori also thought that people volunteer because campaigns and organizations could always use help and it would be great to see people ~illing to share their time.
The Social Studies Monthly Speaker Series instituted this year was an attempt to add special extras to the department, according to department head Ross Tegeler.
"It's a good, positive education • " thing we're doing for the students," he said.
The program brings in people outside the school in order to expose social studies students to varied ideas and interests. Guests that have addressed the students include the Secretary of the Hungarian Communist Youth Party, and Joe Swanson, a local Socialist politician who made a bid for the governor's office in last November's election.
Tegeler was pleased with student reactions.
"Everybody thinks it's kind of nice to get out of the classroom and away from the textbooks for a while," he said.
It's likely that the program will continue and Tegeler thought a lot could be done with the concept to expand it. He planned on at least one speaker each month.
"I'm excited about it," he said. "I think that the possibilities are almost limitless."
The unity of racial students was broken up and put into the spotlight the week of October 18. Because of a fight that started across "J" Street at the video arcade, a dispute arose between seven Vietnamese and white students.
A sense of excitement and anxiety built among the rest of the students. They not only wondered what would happen next, but also how such an injustice came about.
On October 22, Principal Sanford Nelson called a meeting for the student body to relay the facts about the fighting. He also met with the Student Equity Board and together they decided to have board members speak with classes about the problems of Vietnamese and other minorities and dispel any myths or stereotypes about them.
Equity Board member AneesahAbdullah said that the board's goal
wasn't just to stop prejudice against Vietnamese students, but all students. The spotlight on the racial problems between the Vietnamese and whites only intensified their goal, she said.
"General prejudice can be stopped by simple knowledge about different countries and races," said Aneesah.
The conflict not only hurt people's feelings and pride, but also set the school back in building a good reputation. Vice Principal Dr. Charles Jones felt that pre-formed negative feelings toward Lincoln High were reinforced by the racial conflict. Because it is the only Lincoln school with such a high racial diversity, other people assume there are constant fights and gangwars between nationalities, he said.
But Jones also thought that good feelings were strengthened, and possibly even increased the vocal approval of the school.
Seniors N asrat Attaie and Krzysztof Lopata have more in common than just a high school.
Both escaped countries subjected to Soviet aggression, and each aided their respective causes by placing themselves in danger.
Krzysztof hails from Bielawa, Poland, and was a member-along with 25 million others-of the now-outlawed Solidarity labor union. Although he has heard from his parents and younger brother, he doesn't believe he'll ever go back.
"Every day, many people are arrested," he said. "If I went back, they would throw me in jail."
Nasrat, a Freedom Fighter from
Afghanistan, shared Krzysztof s sentiments and his hatred of Communism. The guerilla group to which he belonged plotted an attack against the Soviet embassy in August, 1981. N asrat was unable to assist his comrades, as on the day preceding the attack he escaped to Pakistan. But his desire to strike against the Soviets still burns.
Both he and Krzysztofplan onjoining the armed forces after high school.
"As long as there is blood in our bodies, we will not be Communists," N asrat vowed. "Our children will fight against the Russian soldiers."

Appearances can be deceiving. Eric Salem seems to be an average high school sophomore, maybe just a bit less confused-looking than most. Actually, he's an elected public official and has appeared on television programs, including the Johnny Carson Show and That's Incredible.
Eric became a member of the Lancaster County Weed Control Authority in the election held November 2. He attributes his victory to the publicity he received because of his age and his own campaign efforts.
"I pretty much coordinated my own campaign," he explained. "I set up speaking engagements and all that. I was also the treasurer of my committee. I wrote checks and all that good stuff."
He also said that the teenaged campaign workers were generally a lot more helpful than the adults.
"My favorite quote has always been
'kids are the untapped resource of politics," he said. "I found that something that two adults could complete in two days, you could get one kid to do in a half an hour. It's enthusiasm."
Although Eric has entered the local political scene with success, he has no interest in politics at the student body level because of what he calls its lack of power.
"Usually, these groups support nice causes, like raising food and all that, but they don't really do anything for the students," he said. "I really don't think that student councils exist for any reason other than keeping the kids quiet."
Even though he sees for himself a political future, Eric didn't think it would happen in college.
"For four or five years I'm not going to do anything political, except for voting."
According to senior Craig Riecke, 80 per cent of the nation will work directly or indirectly with computers by the year 2000. This is good news to students because Lincoln High has the most advanced computer program of any high school in Lincoln.
Craig felt that the computer program offered is excellent, and should be the model for future computer science programs in other schools.
Computers at LHS got their start about five years ago by means of a ITY (a type of computer with a keyboard) in the office. A year later, a computer club was organized. The new computers arrived three years ago, and computer classes became part of the school's curriculum.
"Computer Club has really grown this year. Last year it was just a small group, and it didn't do much," Craig
said. "The active membership has increased fourfold, and the meetings are fairly structured and run efficiently."
Craig became interested in computers about four years ago at Goodrich Junior High. He has used his knowledge to place fourth in a threestate region in the American Computer Science Test.
Computers will be the basis for technology in the near future. Students have the option of getting a head start by enrolling in computer classes.
The industrial printing shop has a computer called the Compugraphic machine, which does all the type setting and printing for the student.
Computers are designed to do work fast and efficiently, which makes life for hum ans less stressful.
Contrary to popular belief, school isn't always an escape from home. In 1983, Lincoln High represented most family combinations, from siblings to spouses.
Family feuds could spell trouble for Terrel and Jill Hanshew, husbandwife foreign language instructors, and junior Aneesah Abdullah practiced care in school affairs since mothermath teacher Khadijah was ever near.
But senior Barb Goodwin wasn't pressured by sister Carolynn, English teacher.
"We have a very good relationship," Barb joked. "I hate her, and she hates me."
Actually, Barb's time was usually spent being amused by her peers, rather than antagonistic to her sister.
"It's funny to watch people's reactions when they find out we're sisters," she said. "They realize we're not Siamese twins anymore. They thought it was just a coincidence that we have the same last name, the same house, the same parents ... "
But Barb never had to take her sister for a class. Senior Jon Fisher wasn't granted a similar reprieve, and had to enroll in the Calculus course taught by his mother.
Patience Fisher said having Jon in class made for some interesting situations.
"The first time he raised his hand and addressed me as 'Mother Dear' it was quite a shock," she said. "But now I'm used to it."
No special rules were set up for Jon, Fisher said, but there were also no exceptions to standard ones.
"I have to be to school on time or she

announces in a loud voice, 'Jon Fisher, tardy' while marking the attendance card," Jon said
However, mother and son arrived at an agreement on the attendance issue.
"We made a pact in his class that I could not be tardy either, and if I were," Fisher said, "every student would have a tardy erased from the record."
Neither Jon nor brother Matt (a junior) were singled out by their mother during the school day.
"I don't treat them ariy different than any other student," Fisher said. "They go their ways and I go mine."
In a world dominated by m~m, two women have attained recognition through their special talents. These students are Deb Omel and Kitty Hendersen.
Deb has been · drawing ever since she could hold a pencil, The senior realized she had talent about the time she started school.
Deb has entered her work in county fairs, The Nebraska State Fair, Scholastic Art Competition, and the Nebraskaland Days Amateur Art Show. She has won countless ribbons for first, second, and third places as well as grand prizes and honorable mentions.
Deb uses her talent as a part-time free-lance artist for Miller and Paine. She also worked on a mural at the downtown fur station (which is separate from the Art Club project).
Deb finds art as a good way to express her ideas and emotions. She added, "My career goal is to become a
professional Western fine artist."
Another talented student is junior Kitty Hendersen. Kitty is a weight lifter. When she was in junior high she signed up for a body conditioning class, which was designed mainly for boys. •
"In most sports you're out to impress others, but with weight lifting you impress yourself because of the long hours, time, and energy that you put in the sport," she said.
When Kitty was training for the state Competition Deadlift (in which she placed first by lifting 315 lbs.) she lifted four times a week between January and May for three hours a day.
Kitty felt the sport has been dominated by men, but women are becoming recognized for their talents.
Women are gaining recognition in today's world, and Kitty and Deb are examples of using determination as a means of achieving their goals.
Music department harmonizes
The major goal for the music department was to continue to strive for excellence in singing, music and teaching, said chairperson Joe Skutchan.
A new class, mixed chorus, was added this year. The only requirement was an interest in singing. There weren't tryouts or restrictions because of the student's grade or sex.
Barbara Ludemann, the new director, was another change for the music department. She directed the girls and boys chorus, Soundsation, and Varsity Swing Choir. Marliyn Gordon was added as an accompanist for the afternoons.
Skutchan felt that the music staff did a great job. He said that they have to be more than just teachers, but choreographers, builders, etc.
"I feel we have an excellent staff, all experts in their field," he said. "I'm also really enjoying the new vocal facilities that are just about completed."
Art aims admirable
"We're working hard at developing a portfolio for students who have identified art as a career," said George Sedlacek, art department head.
Some identified goals for the art department were helping students understand the place for art in their lives, as well as helping people understand that art can fill their lives with beauty and interest.
Another important goal was helping individuals find careers relating to art.
The math department developed a new look for 1982-83 with several additions being made in staff, equipment, and classes.
The department welcomed two new members to its staff, Stephen Quiring and Robert Tice.
Quiring filled the vacancy createdby the one-year leave of absence taken by Charles Friesen, who left to become the computer consultant for the Lincoln Public Schools. Quiring taught Advanced Algebra, and according to fellow department member Patience Fisher, is also knowl136-Academics
edgeable in computers. This knowledge results in Quiring teaching a night class in computers for LPS.
The second new member of the staff, Tice is also knowledgeable in computers, as he taught not only several computer classes at Lincoln High, but also a computer class at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the education department.
Fisher described the members of the math department as "good comrades" who "get along well and support each other." She went on to say that "everyone does a good job and works hard."
Fisher also worked hard to reach the goals she set for herself during the year. These goals included making her Calculus course the equivalent of an advanced placement course (meaning that a student could take the course and get college credit for the high school course), improving her Pascal course, and having the best math team in the state.
The improvement of the Pascal course was probably helped along by the arrival of six new computers, bringing the total number of computers to 11, the most of any school in Lincoln.
"Introduction to Computers," a new course designed and taught by Sally Roper, allowed more students to take advantage of this abundance of computers, as well as rounding out the changes in the math department for 1982-83.
According to chairperson Merrell Grant, a few of the goals for the English department were to help students serve as critics for their own writing, and for the department members to utilize and pool their planning time.
The only new addition to the staff was Ruth Daggett, who taught English 10 and worked in the instructional resources department.

Lance cited Luciano Pavarotti as his idol.
"I have most of his records in my collection. I think he's great."
Lance's favorite thing about working with music is performing for an audience.
"I like doing it for people. I also like the religious aspect," he said.
To a quiet and listening crowd, Duane Hutchinson, 52, began to tell another captivating story. Storytelling fills up most of the retired minister's time. Whether speaking for students here, or in southern Colorado, he always has a story to tell.
He began relating tales years ago because of his interest in them, and also the tremendous response he received from his listeners.
Hutchinson feels that people get a lot from his stories. They learn storytelling techniques, better listening skills and a curiosity about all types of stories. But he thought the
most important thing listeners get is the feeling of enchantment.
"Stories are to enchant," he said, "to take you from here and put you into the story." • Hutchinson stressed that the most important thing a narrator must do is to tell a story carefully and interestingly.
"When they're listening to a story," he said, "there's nothing to keep them going but the words and the glimmer in the storyteller's eye."

The goals of the department were to help students develop knowledge , skills and attitudes necessary for the role of homemaker, family member , consumer and wage earner and for combining these roles. The . classes are often a mixture of elements from art, humanities, mathematics , psychology, science and sociology.
The Lincoln High home economics department is the largest in the city, with a six-member teaching staff. Many of the new programs that they've started in the last few years such as Exploring Childhood, have been imitated by other high schools.
According to chairman Robert Compton, the science department provided students with the basic entry requirements into educational areas such as medicine, dentistry, nursing , and science technology. The courses offered " also enable the student to have a better understanding of an ever increasing scientific ally oriented society," he said.
According to chairperson Bill Meyers , the b usiness department
successfully reached its goal of increased enrollment, Because there are •• no required classes , it is sometimes hard to recruit kids to take business courses. But in 1983, the new microcomputer and the new class second semester called Business Communication helped to get students mterested.
A second business club was initiated entitled Future Business Leaders of America. The club is along the lines of the three-year-old group, DECA.

For students who want to learn more about international affairs, Lincoln High has a course for them entitled International Relations.
. The class deals with in-depth studies on ce r tain reg i ons of the world, such as Nor t tiern Ireland, Vietnam, and the Sov iet Union. Students must have an interest in foreign affairs and be willing to keep up on current issues, according to class instructor Ross Tegeler.
He added that he enjoys teaching the class because it is not a requirement, therefore students are there because they want to be. "I don't have to worry about the things most teachers are worried about, such as behavior," he said.

"I feel like the ·required courses are all great classes that every student needs," he said.
Before graduation, each student must get credits in Modern U.S. History, Global Perspectives and Citizenship Issues.
Languages lead to learning
Teaching foreign languages to students was the most important goal for the foreign language department, according to department head Terrel Hanshew.
Other goals were teaching the kids to speak, read, and understand the language in which they are interested.
A new award was presented to the student who was an outstanding achiever in two or more languages.
Physical education strengthens
The physical education staff strove to achieve their goals. An idealistic goal they attempted was to have every student experience some level of physical fitness. Other goals included getting the physical education staff physically fit as well as including more fitness activities in the curriculum.
A new body conditioning course has been added to the list of physical education classes.
Industrial education prepares Department head Dean Clawson believes that the industrial-vocational education department can be very valuable to the students who participate.
"We feel like we're really preparing students to graduate," he said. "A very high percentage are prepared to go out into a field of work that they've studied."
Many of the students also continue • their education in the area that they specialized in while in department courses.

Deciding that four years of Spanish wasn't challenging enough, senior Ed Luben temporarily satisfied his appetite for foreign languages by adding the German and French courses to his curriculum.
Although he has no favorite, Ed said French was easier because he'd had Spanish before he took French, "and they're both romance la!\guages."
He wants to continue French and German at the college level, and plans on adding Russian to that list. Ed is also interested in Latin and Modem Greek, and thought they should have been offered at the high school level.

The development of an archives room was the media department's main goal for 1983, according to chairman John Bruce.
"As long as the school has been in existence, there has riever been any archive development ," he said
Bruce estimated that work on the room will continue in 1983. •In the meantime, he is satisfied observing the changes in tlie students' attitudes.
One of the largest divisi9ns of the instructional resources department was the MR unit, a~d according to its physical education instructor, Bili Kechely , the program's se~ond year was an overwhelming success. ~ •
"We've been pleased with the . acc eptanc e of our kids by the other students ," Kechely said.
Part of the program included the Special Olympics, which started with area c ompetition in January and culminated with state contests at Omaha in May. Events from bowling to basketball were included, and Kechely said the 90-100 Lincoln High students eligible to participate did so.

Couns elor Len Hamsa coordinated the Out-of-School L earning program, which aide d teen a gers in their quests for employm ent.
Since work was scarce, Hamsa said first priority went to students whom counselors recommended as "really needing jobs."
Hamsa sai d m os t of the part-tim e jobs were offered in the food service , and information of their availability was usually passed to all four Lincoln public high schools. However, "some jobs want Lincoln High students specifically, and these usually call the school," he said.
Each year the counselors strive for good relations with students, counselirig students with problems and helping with class registration, said Assistant Principal for Student Services Donald Dean. But they also single out special goals.
Dean said that this year they tried to change the basic job format to a void counselors from suffering 'burn-out'. With a slight change of duties in each couselor'sjob, Dean felt it would keep them fresh and more assertive.
Another goal was for the counselors to get to know the sophomores earlier in the year. Maintaining better contact with students that are leaving the school due to transfers or dropping out was another qbjective for 1983.

Putting on the sweatsuit, lacing up the tennies, tying on the headband and bouncing out the door for a good workout. This may sound like a typical student preparing for gym class or after school practice. But not all physically active students were in school sports. Some stayed in shape on their own.
There were several reasons for being involved in extracurricular sports. One of the main reasons was that it was less competitive, more easy going.
Bobbi Scheerger was in both Jazzercise and on her church softball team. She participated to keep in shape and have a good time, not to be competitive.
"I'm not in a school sport because I don't like the tough competition," she said.
Intramurals were another way students could be in sports. Social studies teacher Aldie Johnson coordinated after-school soccer gaines, and Marvin Mueller coordinated the basketball games.
Senior Roy Moran, a soccer participant, felt that the usual competition and rivalry were also absent in intramurals. Although they did keep score of the games, the intent was to have fun.
"I enjoyed intramural soccer because we went out to have a good time, not necessarily to win," he said.
Whether it was kicking the soccer ball around or jogging to the nearest gym, students found enjoyment in . keeping fit their own way. Students felt that being involved in out-ofschool sports provided them with enthusiasm and spirit.

Allison was one of two girls to run in the state meet. (Carol Nunnally returned after a four-week bout with pneumonia to place sixth in districts and eighth in State). She said her disappointing finish (30th) was due to physical, not mental, lapses.
However, Matt characterized his sister as a "tough little cookie" and said it was her persistence that carried her to State.
According to Henrichs, Allison was not the only runner displaying determination. Soph.omoresAlbertMaxey, Dan Wendling and Laura Steinke also received recognition, as did senior letter-winner Jon Fisher.
"Jon had an outstanding season considering his times from meet to meet and the competition he faced," Henrichs said.
Laurels for a job well done was returned to the coach.
"He's a good coach," said sophomore Ryan Steeves. "He stayed with us, and we were kind of a crazy bunch."
Jon's time of 16:05 minutes in the 5000-meter run at the Omaha Bryan Invitational was good enough for sixth place, and also the 22nd slot on the all-time best chart for the course.

Good work-outs, confidence and team unity carried the boys gymnastics team to the state finals in November. All of these things contributed but the individual gymnast had to perform well enough to remain for the second day.
Mark Shearer, second-year gymnastics coach, felt that Craig Steward was the top all-around competitor. He placed fifth at State in both the vault and floor routines.
According to Shearer, the best meet of the season was October 5, against
defending state champions Omaha South. Defeating them by a score of 134-132 seemed to inspire enough confidence to help the Links place third in Trans-Nebraska and second in district competition.

A team does not always require a winning record to be considered successful in the eyes of its members . The development of talent and the quest for excellence are also factors.
In this mode, the girls' gymnastics team, in spite of a record of one win and six losses in dual meets, was successful to second-year Coach Mark Shearer and sophomore Brend.a Brehm.
"This was a year to build talent and gain experience," Shearer said. "Many of our young performers hav·e gained a lot of experience and confidence."
This confidence was revealed in •part by Brenda, the leading all-around scorer for the team , who was the team's sole representative at the state· meet, where she tied for sixth in the floor exercise.
The qualities achieved by the team in their many practices helped them battle eight tough , more experienced teams for a fourth-place finish at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Invitational Meet, a season best according to both Brenda and Shearer. They also led to the reaching of part, if not all , of the team's goals and
Brenda's personal goals.
The team broke 120 points in allover scoring, fulfilling . one goal, but did not qualify for state, their second goal.
She hopes that the experience gained this year will cr~ate a strong team next year.
"All I can say is I hope the team can do good next year," said Brenda. "We have a couple of good sophomores coming in, and others are learning new tricks in off-season, so I hope we qualify for state."

When asked how the team played, he replied, "We played tennis all right, but we ate better than we played tennis."
Out-of-town tournaments provided opportunities for travel. Jordan enthusiastically spoke of their excursions. "When we'd go out of town in a
van, we'd have a good time smashing flies against the windows and doing things like that," he said.
Chris Day, also a varsity team member, agreed with Jordan that the team had an irrepressible spirit of fun.
"We had cute polyester outfits, too," he added after moment of contemplation.
Chris also displayed his conviction that something beyond the desire to win kept them out on the court.
"If we would have been out there just for winning, none of us would have been out there," he said. "We would have gone home to watch Gilligan's Island."

The 1982 varsity football team landed their first winning season since 1978 under the direction of second-year coach Harold Simpson.
Simpson felt that a weight training program would be the best place to start after last year's 2- 7 season record. Lack of this program for the 1981 season left many players injured.
The players practiced during the school year, and were expected to lift weights a mandatory 18 times during summer vacation or they were not allowed to play, according to senior Alan Muthersbaugh.
Attitude was a major factor in this year's season. The Links obtained early exposure in August through newspaper articles, which boosted the team's confidence.
Despite this confident attitude LHS suffered a 0-21 loss against Columbus in the season opener at Seacrest Field. Later in the season, Lincoln High played third-ranked and previously undefeated Southeast, emerging the victor with a 20-10 Homecoming win. The Links defeated another inner-city team in their final match against East, 14-6, finishing the season ranked second in the city with a 5-4 record.
"We've got to give a lot of credit to Coach Simpson for turning the program around from a 2-7 record to a 5-4 record," commented senior Don Wilken.
"The purpose of the junior varsity program is to develop players for the varsity , and with hard work off-season, many of these young men w~ll help," said Coach Thomas Christie.
Even though the 1982 team finished the season with a 2-6 record, they made their opponents work for their points. Sophomore Troy Malone felt the team was more keyed up during the games that were won, and attributed the losses to a lack of intensity.
The Links lost to East on September 9, by a score of 6-14, but defeated them in the final game of the season lD-7. They also shut out Fremont on October 7 at Beechner Field, 14-0.
Junior Dan Ullman remarked, "We had enough juniors out for football, but a lot of them were put on varsity so we would have a good foundation to build on for next year."
Christie singled out Keith Brooks, Russ Luben, Troy Malone, Steve Davis, Chuck Hansen and Mike Chadd as players he is counting on to help the varsity next year. "I'm sure there will be few others who will work hard and earn a position, at least we hope so," he added.
The sophomore team had a disappointing season, with only one victory. This highpointcameonOctober 14 when the Links defeated Omaha Westside, 21-14.

A season of small achievements and planned-out strategy left the girls' varsity members feeling good. Sometimes practices didn't go well, and the team began to feel wrung out. That is when Coach Bill Meyers would help. Junior Vallery Brown said Meyer's strong coaching really helped them.
"He could tell us what we were doing wrong," she said "He wasn't afraid to jump in and help."
An important game for varsity was against Westside. Beating the thirdrated team boosted the Links' rating and spirits.
Every team remembers an important game and every player can recall a certain play. Vallery had good reason to remember a spectacular play against North Platte, where she threw the ball across court with two seconds remammg, making the basket and beating the Bulldogs by one point.
Upon answering what was her favorite part about playing basketball, Vallery stated with a mixture of shyness, pride, and a laugh, "Being able to make 30 good jump shots."
With the status of a 15-1 record, a strong team and a city championship, the girls' reserves ended the season with a well-earned pride.
With an earlier loss to Lincoln East, the Links put forth an extra effort to beat them by 12 points for the city championship.
According to junior Tracy Thompson, Coach Kraig Anderson was an important part of the team's success. Not only did he prepare them physically for a game, but also mentally, by telling them how important the game was, and that they should just do their best.

Tracy also said that one of the reasons the team did so well was because every player was strong in at least one category. This strengthened the team by making it more powerful in every area.
Tracy looked at the team members in a realistic way.
"We were just all missing pieces of a puzzle," she said. "Once together, we really made things happen."

In November, the boys' swim team had 18 members but the number dwindled down to eight by February. Despite the lack of bodies, the team managed to send two members to state. Mark Jameson qualified in the diving competition and 50-yard freestyle, and John Tidball in the 500yard and 200-yard freestyle.
Sophomore Chris Wing observed, "Jameson was outstanding in the 50yard freestyle, and also his diving events. Tidball did well in the 200yard and 500-yard freestyle."
Wing remarked about the season, "We didn't have any wins, but at least no one drowned." He justified the lack of interest in the sport as it being too demanding for some individuals.
"Swimming requires a lot of self discipline to get up in the mornings for workouts and also after school," he said. Wing also felt a deficiency in recognition and support from the school.
Wing thought the team's strengths were in the individuals. "Each person improves their swimming abilities,"he said.
He attributed the team's string of losses to lack of people out for the sport, and that the people who were out were mostly beginners.
Wing felt Rice was a good coach with a good background. "He knows what he's doing and is a good influence."

A lack of interest in competitive swimming accounted for a 10member girls' swim team. With 11 events, there were barely enough swimmers to compete. The team finished the season with a one win as Lincoln High beat Fremont, 78-45.
Junior Janene Hoskovec commented, "Our record doesn't look very good, but we've gone against some really tough teams and we didn't get 'whaled on' like last year.We're going to miss our seniors, but next year I think we'll have a really strong team "
Hoskovec felt the team's weaknesses were the lack of girls out for the sport, and the fact that they usually didn't get the events filled.
"But we have a lot of potential. Next year is going to be very interesting because some really good sophomores will be swimming for us."
The team's strongest events were the medley relay and diving since both made it to the state finals.
Lincoln High sent five female swimmers to State. Sherri Y elick, Amy Marquez, Jeanette Vilda, and Kelli Kahler comprised the medley relay, and Hoskovec qualified in the 1 70-Girls' Swimming
diving competition.
Hoskovec stated many girls started the season but couldn't handle it and quit.
"Swimming is a hard sport. It takes a lot of dedication to be at practice at 6:30 in the morning and then back to the pool after school. Swimming laps can get very boring."

The 1983 basketball season could be termed a success, as the varsity and reserve teams finished with winning records, and the sophomores gained needed experience.
The varsity team finished with a 138 record and many titles. The titles included winner of the LaBlonde Tournament in St. Joseph, Missouri, Trans-Nebraska Conference Champions and City Champions.
Only a disappointing third loss to city foe Lincoln East stopped the Links from taking the district title as well. The Spartans also recorded the Links' only city defeats.
"It was disappointing losing to East three times," said senior Gary Steer. "Whenever we played them, it seemed we couldn't beat them no matter what we tried."
The East-block, however, did not stop the team from meeting their season goals, said Gary.
"We met our goals as a team by having a better season than everybody expected.''
Success was also in the air for the reserve team as they closed the season with a winning 9-7 record and the meeting of their goals.
The goals included attaining a winning season, getting along together and maintaining a good attitude throughout the season, said junior Tom Vontz.
Sophomore Troy Malone, a varsityreserve swing player, rated • the season as fun.
"It was fun," said Troy. "Everybody knew everybody and we had fun playing together."
Both Tom and Troy agreed that next year, with returning varsity letterman, a good reserve team, and good incoming sophomores, could be a promising one for the Links.
Although their 3-9 record was nothing to boast a·bout, the · sophomore team was not discouraged according to sophomor~ Jeff Parrish.
"We had a good team, but we'll have a better team next year," said Jeff.
The high school basketball experience proved to be different from junior high play, according to the 5'8" guard.
"In junior high, we kind of messed around a lot. The sophomores worked hard," said Jeff.
The outlook for next year's reserve team is pretty good, said Jeff.
"We already have experience, and some reserves will still be there," he said.

For the girls track team, the activity didn't simply begin with the first spring practice. Although official training before the season was not allowed, individual team members used the winter months to start conditioning.
Senior Carol Nunnally reported that she ran outdoors throughout the winter . "I averaged about 30 miles a week," she said. "Sometimes it was really hard for me to make myself go out and do it, but I felt like I needed to."
Carol also cited weight training as a very popular method with many runners.
Her teammate, senior Brenda Eschenbacher, was also enthusiastic about the early conditioning efforts.
"I feel that we are about two weeks ahead of where we were at this time last year," Brenda said. "The team did great last year and now the people are in even better shape."
The good condition of the team members, combined with their inherent talents, was mentioned by Brenda as a mixture to promote optimism.
Another bright spot was provided by the fact that the boys' and girls' teams trained together.
"It has worked out well," said senior Staci Cords. "It's not like I thought it would be. We do the same things as the guys-they just have to do more of everything."
Staci described it as a very individualized program that was well received by both teams, for the most part.
"It's not too competitive," she said, "but when the guys run against someone like Vallery Brown and lose to her, it kind of gets to them.". Staci continued, "They say things like, 'I wasn't running as fast as · I could have,' or 'I let her win.' It's really funny.''
Staci's only concern was that the new members might not comprehend what it meant to follow a state championship team.
"I really feel that the team has to go out and defend the title,'' Staci said. "We all need to realize that we have to work hard and do our best to keep it."

"Running is a state of mind," could have been the motto of the 1983 track team. According to returning varsity letterman Jon Fisher, preparation was the key.
"A lot of people trained this last winter, " the senior said. "Not officially, of course, but Mr. (Coach Bob) White gave us suggestions. We can't really start training until the spring."
Aside from being a dedicated group, the team was also the largest one organized since about 1973.
"There were probably over 60 people," Jon said. "It's good for morale."
"Mr. White's a very good coach," contributed senior Lance McCord. "He's really enthusiastic and he wants everyone to do their own best."
Lance also agreed that the size of the team could be r~garded as an advantage.
"A lot of the people are excellent athletes," he explained. "It definitely can work for us when we're out competing."
Aside from all this, optimism was cited as the key to having a winning team.
"It's psychological," Lance stated "A 1<;>t of support is need ed."

A wet spring postponed the opening of the season and forced several indoor practices, but the baseball teams survived a tough season.
With seven returning lettermen, the varsity competed in a district with basically all the same talents, said senior Fred Hicks.
A fast outfield with good arms, and a strong sense of team camaraderie helped the team overcome a weakness in pitching, said Fred.
The key to the reserve season was teamwork and both a solid infield and outfield, said junior Mitch Salomons.
Tough competition was provided by Pius X, Northeast, and East, among others, Mitch said.
Summer leagues are the current means of preparation for most sophomore ball players, said sophomore Steve Wise.
Lack of a junior high program did not, however, hinder the sophs as they faced the season with both strong hitting and fielding abilities, said Steve.

The girls' tennis team's goal was to win a meet. To some people, that goal might not sound too difficult, but practice, determination and hard work went behind every step to reach it.
There were two practices a day. The first started at 3:15 p.m. and the second at 4:15 p.m. While half of the team was practicing, the other half would stretch out and exercise.
Practices weren't just for perfecting serves and volleys (although they did that, too). The team lifted weights, ran, stretched, and did aerobics.
According to junior Peggy Keller, Coach Rose Kotwas was a good coach, and made practices fun.
Not only did Kotwas help the pl ayers, but junior Shelly Westernburg felt that she provided the support to reach their goal.
Shelly said that the attitude of team members was to "give it all we've got."

Damp conditions and cold weather got the golf team off to a slow start. Practice had to be postponed until conditions were more favorable.
The location of practice was based on where the following meet was.
Players qualified for meets by their scores from the preceding week. Five golfers were eligible to participate in a meet, but the top four players' scores were added to give the team its overall standing.
This year's returning varsity members were Scott Clark and Roy Lamb. Bill Meyers coached the team which was managed by Julie Lamb. Varsity

Rumors floated around Lincoln High that Aqualinks was being discontinued. But the synchronized swim team proved these rumors to be false. The group had 14 members, but due to lack of interest had a slow start in 1983. Junior Mindy Leapley commented, "We just couldn't get. enough people to join."
Every spring theAqualinks present their show. This year's theme was "Aq ualinks go to the movies" and contained songs from famous movies. The show was held on April 28. · Hard work and practice goes into
the making of a successful show. The girls practiced two nights after school for four hours, and Saturday mornings for two hours.
The Aqualinks had a new sponsor this year, as Pat Osbourne replaced Opal Stoehr. She coached the girls on swimming techniques and rhythm.
Why do the girls enjoy the long hours and hard work? "Because it's fun!" conceded Mindy. "The girls are really nice and it's neat to see the show put together with the stunts. It's interesting.''

Perhaps it's because people do have this special relationship with dogs that more veterinarians now use Vanguard to protect them than any other vaccine. A single dose of Vanguard protects against parvo, and combinations of Vanguard vaccines protect against distemper, hepatitis, lepto, parainfluenza, and bordetel la.

Well-known traditions of strong academics and competitive athletics at Lincoln High not only continued in 1982-83, but were enhanced. The school's 112th birthday was made a happy one by the accomplishments of the most diverse student body of any high school in the state.
Academically, LHS students proved they could compare favorably with their peers at other high schools. Six of the seven National Merit Semi-finalists became finalists-a reflection of the teaching and guidance they received. Adding to their well-rounded education was the constant contact they (and all other LHS students) made with persons of different race, ethnicity and religion.
Also serving as reinforcement for its academic reputation was the school's math students. Not only were they ranked first in Lincoln in Atlantic-Pacific competition, but also third in Nebraska.
In the sports department, LHS regained its winning tradition. The varsity football team posted its first winning record in four years, including victories over city rivals Southeast and East. Joining football in varsity excellence was the boys' basketball squad. Team members presented Coach Alden Johnson with his first city championship since 1964, and also the Trans-Nebraska title (the team's first outright conference crown). City honors were also bestowed upon the girls' reserve basketball team, which finished the season 17-1.
Still, 1983 would be deemed a success without the accomplishments of the brains and the brawn. Students who found themselves at neither extreme made contributions by sharing fears, dreams and experiences with others, thus creating an atmosphere conducive to learning. It is this blending that makes LHS what it is and what it forever will be-a school oblivious to criticism, open to diversity and home for all.
The tradition of honoring Lincoln High School seniors for their scholastic and activity achievement during the past three years was again carried on this spring.

Individual recognition of seniors for outstanding achievements in the areas of academics, sports, fine arts, and home economics was the order of the
day at the 1983 Senior Awards Day held May 24 in Johnson Gym. It was the beginning of the end for the senior class as underclassmen and faculty members watched various honors awarded to the 1983 graduates.
Several awards have taken on added significance because of the year the award was established or because of the overall area the honor encompasses. And, for the first time ever, the same individual won both The Harry Sidney Dobbins Award and the Ned Prucha Award.
Winning the two awards was Jon Fisher. The Harry Sidney Dobbins

The ability to accept others is a vital traiL Out of necessity, we have developed tolerance for a variety of cultural branches. The 1737 ingredients that comprised our school's melting pot offered educational opportunities beyond the
regular curriculum that few institutions could claim. The ethnic harmony is easy to explain, however, because at Lincoln High, acceptance is what we stand for, and what we've got is life.
