Just lik ~ the ~~ited States, it is deb~table as to whether Lincoln High is a melting pot or a salad bowl. The diversity of the students makes LHS unique and the student's response to . the situation was commendable. It makes a person proud to be a Link-proud to be Full of Life.
Honoring students for academic achievements, Kathy Raymer shakes hands, smiles and distributes certificates. The fall Honors Convocation was held on October 23. '
Full of life; pride School complimented;
awarded
Lincoln High-a school full of hurrying students. A school filled with enthusiasm and ambition. It was a school that was, at every turn, Full of Life.
Because of the life filling the 1,714 students and nearly 200 staff persons, LHS has been recognized and praised.
Many representatives fiom out-state Nebraska schools came to LHS to review the offered programs and available facilities.
Principal Sam Nelson welcomed these visitors and realized that it was quite a compliment to the school to have them come to LHS.
"If we're not doing something right," he said, "people wouldn't want to come to look at us!"
Maybe Mr. Nelson's confidence in the life of the school was what prompted him to enter the school as a possible candidate for one of the best in the nation. As it turned out, Mr. Nelson's confidence was not misplaced. After the long selection process, LHS was named one of 117 best public and private high schools in the nation.
Lincoln High-a school to be proud of. A school filled with students who have shown and continue to show that they are Full of Life.
Presented to LHS for being one of the top 117 high schools in the nation, the flag hangs in the office window for all to see. This colorful red, white and blue flag with gold, brown and green accents serves as a reminder of another Lincoln High Job Well Done.
Relationship special
Various activities take time
ror people who choose i- to participate in relationships, weekend activities can quickly become a very expensive experience. It then becomes necessary to find different things to do, or when it is necessary to spend money, make it worth it. In a sense-Cheap Dates!!
Doug Toline, a senior, said some of his favorite times with his girlfriend are those times at home, watching T. V. or listening to the radio.
"Some of the best times we have are those when I go over to her house or she comes to mine, and that's all we do, stay at home," he said.
He also said that when they do something that costs money, ''Whoever has the money pays for the date, sometimes it's •me, sometimes it's her."
Tammy Schriner, a senior, said she likes to picnic to get away from the cost of going out.
"We take some food (our parents' of course) to the park, and just have fun by ourselves," she said.
"Sometimes we go over to friends houses to watch movies on a VCR or to watch something on HBO, or something like that." She added, "We also go to parties to be with our friends, that doesn't cost anything for us."
Both Doug and Tammy said they do things that cost money. Doug said he and his girl friend drove up to Omaha to see the Truck Races.
"That was an expensive night," he said.Tammy said her and her boyfriend go to movies, maybe miniature golfing once in awhile, sometimes dinner.
All in all, they said they definitely preferred the times they could spend alone, in front of the T. V. or stereo, with their own boyfriend/ girlfriend, respectively.
A major pastime, concerts were a favorite activity of students. Ticket prices varied from $7.50 to $200.00

Houses provide security
Houses more than -place to come home to
Where's the one place that a person can always go and can even feel secure? For many, that place is home.
The house can come in many different versions and all fit the same definition of home. To Devon Schumacher, who lives in a mobile home, "The house itself, the physical building, isn't important-it's the • home, the family, the people who you share the house with. That's what's really meaningful. Home is a place of shelter and security "
The family unit itself can also mean security. Gretchen Zwetzig's house is approximately one hundred years old. She loves her house simply because that is where her mom, dad, and sister are.
Lisa Allison lives on an acreage in a farm house To her, the openness and the beautiful surroundings are what make her house a home
Because Debbie Placek's dad built their house, it's customized to fit the needs of the family, so in a sense, it is actually a part of the family. For her, "It's a place to relax and be myself." The Placek family engages in one mighty interesting tradition every year. Before each wint~r they drop a tennis ball down the chimney to make sure there are no animals stuck in the fireplace before their first fire.
At Brian Crogg's house there are no household traditions that compare to that, although the house itself is quite unique. Brian lives in the only old underground house in his area. To him "It's just a basement with a roof on top, but also a place to retreat to solid ground when times are rough." •
Every house is different, yet for most it serves basically the same purpose, a place one can always go to.

Teens seek jobs elsewhere
Some LHS students take out-of-town jobs
Most Lincoln High students agreed that summer vacation was a very busy time. From day one, it seemed, the hot summer months were clogged with activities, and some believed that summertime was more busy than the school year. Usually, all of this activity revolved around a job of some kind, but some students, for a variety of reasons, decided to take their summer jobs in places other than Lincoln, Nebraska.
Senior Roger Hulinsky was the maintenance man at a summer camp sponsored by the American Baptist Churches of Nebraska.
"The camp," Hulinsky explained, "was located about twenty miles west of Fremont. I stayed there for about two and a half months in a small trailercamper that wasn't at all comfortable. Whenever there was grass to be cut, or dishes to wash I'd be doing it. The job paid 80 dollars a week so that hard work was worth it."
Roger particularly enjoyed the independence involved.
"Getting away," he said, "from house and family was kind of nice, it was really a new and exciting experience for me."
Senior Maura McLaughlin stayed the entire summer with her uncle in Lake Tahoe, California where, for the duration
of the summer, held down three different jobs at once.
"My main job," McLaughlin said, "was head hostess at a pizzaria in Lake Tahoe, but I also worked at a jet-ski rental a couple of days a week. I got to rent out jet-skis and motorized surf boards, and teach people how to use them, and on top of that, I worked at my aunt's flower shop."
Maura liked to stay busy during the summer with many different activities.
"I like to work a lot," she said. "I don't want to sit around and be bored, and I'm not the type of person who would lay in the sun for three months and just veg."
Money-making wasn't the only motive for out -of-town work. LHS senior Naomi Nagy was a junior counselor at a foreign language camp for a week last summer. She taught French to beginners, and helped plan the regular Camp Kataki activities.
"We went swimming," described Nagy, "played soccer, went on hikes, sang songs, and ate bad food."
Naomi had been going to Camp Kataki for three years as a camper and enjoyed it immensely, and then decided she was getting too old for that so she went on and became a counselor.

This summer was a different experience for some students at Lincoln High. Students traveled throughout the United States and in many foreign countries.
Cheryl Branigan went to Oregon this summer. While there she stayed with some friends and housesat in the mountains. The best thing Cheryl liked while in Oregon was the weather. "It was perfect; warm during the day and cold at night." Cheryl also traveled to New Port to see the ocean.
Pam Bartels was a private exchange student in Germany. She stayed with a family in Kassel, Germany. Pam was there for a month, learning traditions and "eating five times a day."
The most exciting time Pam had was a four day trip to Berlin. There she went on a tour of the Rhine River and saw all the castles and many grape fields.
Jennifer Thornton was also an exchange student. She went to Paraguay for two months. Jennifer stayed with a family the whole two months. She went to school and found the schools quite dif-
ferent from ours. "They had no text books, so we did a lot of copying." Jennifer's parents were excited about the trip. They were glad she had an opportunity such as this. When asked what she liked . most about the ttip, Jennifer replied, • "Just being able to do what you want~d to do was fun."
Deb Nichols and a group of students went to Spain this summer for a couple of weeks. Deb stayed with her group, traveling to different parts of Spain. Deb explained that, "You really had to know Spanish to understand what was going on." She learned much about the culture and the way things were run. "The culture was really backwards from ours." Deb told of the people; "They were really nice and friendly." The driving age is higher, about 18 or 20 years old, and they have no speed limits. Deb said the most exciting thing she did on her trip was an adventure to a nude beach, and getting lost on the subway.

Students really eat at LHS Survey said cafeteria food wasn't so bad
At least once during any given day a student would either insult, or hear someone else insult, the food served in the Lincoln High School cafeteria. Whether it was being compared to other substances like model airplane glue and biodegradable plastic, or just plain sworn at, the reputation of cafeteria food was not an impressive one.
However, a survey taken here at LHS has shown that 51 % of the student body ate regularly in the cafeteria.
If most of the student body detested cafeteria food then why did over half the school continue to eat there?
Sophomore Bryan Hinkley thought the problem was partially economical.
"I don't mind," Hinkley explained, "eating a lot of junk food, but I have to pay for my own lunch, and a dollar goes a lot farther in the cafeteria than at McDonald's or Super C."
Hinkley also felt that choices for places to go are extremely limited without
transportation.
"When you're a sophomore, and so are most of your friends, you end up walking because no one has a car. There aren't too many places to go on foot near Lincoln High and all of them cost more money than I have to spend. "Besides," Hinkley added jokingly, "Mom says school food's good for me."
•
Many students ate in the cafeteria, but brought their ·own sack-lunches from home instead of eating school food.
Senior Laurie Fuller brought her own lunch to school every day.
"I routinely bring," Fuller said, "my own lunch to school each and every day. Partially because I can't easily afford to do it any other way, and also because I feel safer knowing exactly what I'm eating."
Since so many students settled for school food at lunch, maybe it wasn'f as bad as it was cracked up to be ... or was it?
Providing that not everyone ate in the cafeteria, Lisa Metcalf grabs a bite at Super C. Socializing out front, she offers her friend a drink of coke.

Stra n ge discoveries made
Lockers aren't just for depositing junk
Imagine looking into Michael Jackson's big, brown eyes every morning, or gazing at a tan, muscled body clad in Jordache Jeans. This is no fantasy, you have just opened the door to your locker.
Lockers can be fun, you don't even have to hire an interior decorator; all you need is a little imagination and lots of tape. One trip to the store and you're ready to go.
You never can be quite sure what you'll find in some of the lockers.
Those in the Senior Dip included tons of colorful wrapping paper. Hearts, balloons, and teddy bears decorate the insides. There are mirrors to smile into and stuffed animals 'to guard the books.
On the third floor, the lockers have lots of porn-porns peeking out of the tops, and colored paper cut-outs. Even the Gremlins are taking over on the doors.
It's not uncommon to hear someone yell "avalanche!" on your way ~own to first floor. Of course, the lockers there have their share of Hallmarks and stickers. Not to mention the Chippen-
dale's photographs hanging on the doors.
Many lockers throughout the school center around a favorite picture. Some locker photo albums include aloved-one, a favorite star, and even the family dog vies for a place on the door.
When asked why people deco,rate their lockers, Juniors Kim Roby and Jodi Ross summed it up when they explained, "It's like a tradition. It expressed your _ in-dividuality."
Although many students at Lincoln High decorate their lockers, others choose not to decorate theirs. Some students just don't have enough time, or they really don't want to.
Decorating your locker makes the dull, greyness come alive with color and spirit. Each locker is unique and mostly "full of junk." "It says, 'this is me!"'
As you walk down the halls, look around and see some of the different, individual lockers. It just may give you that idea you need for your locker, or even brighten your day a little bit.
Putting their ideas together, Stefanie Ortiz and Laurie Fuller decide what to put in their locker next. Years ago, decorating your locker was forbidden , now it ' s a tradition.

Class becomes 2nd home
They're "home away from home" for most
If someone had wandered through the Lincoln High School building, around four or five o'clock at night, they might have expected to find nothing but a vacated stack of hallways. However, upon peering into some of the classrooms, they would have seen a bit more than janitors and empty desks.
Many LHS students could be found in late hours of the afternoon and early hoursof the morning to be right here at school. They might have been working on homework, talking with a friend, or typing at a computer. Some were waiting for rides, while others just liked to spend a little extra time in the classrooms of their favorite subject or activity.
Mummer Stephanie Ortiz explained why she spent her spare time at school in the drama room.
"If you spend so much time," Ortiz said, "in a room, doing the activities that go with that room, you sort of begin to think of it as home. And you feel more comfortable in that room than in any other room in the
school."
Many LHS students, like band drummer Rochelle Stahn, had to wait for a while after school for someone to come pick them up. Rochelle thought that it was great that she had a place to go where she really belonged.
"Rush lets me stay in the band room after school a lot of the time," Rochelle explained, "since my mother doesn ' t pick me up' till five."
There were still other students who spent extra time in classes out of necessity. Senior Mike Evans explained why he spent about an hour each day in the computer room.
"I like learning as much as I can about computers," Evans said, "and I like experimenting with new things. But all that takes time, and since I don't have a. computer at home, I come here a lot."
For whatever the reason, Lincoln High students seem to have been comfortable with, and made good use of, their "homes away from home."

Dances favor "Breakin"
Hit song "Fame" inspires dance creativity
Lincoln High dances are ever-increasing in popularity, partly because of the grown enthusiasm about break dancing. A lot of people showed up at the first dance; it was the first LHS dance to hold a break dancing contest.
Keno Mordecai thought the contest was great, but disorganized. "Breakin' takes a lot of physical activity, we needed a lot more room." Mordecai and his team took first place in the contest.
People go to dances for a wide variety of reasons. Marion Jahr~is, , an exchange student from Bavaria, goes to see the people. "I like to see how American students have fun."
Sophomore Don Foley goes simply because it's something to do, and "it can help you improve socially."
But, to Emily Jagoda, a junior and a compulsive dance attender, "I love them .. . you get that certain special mix of all the
right people."
When asked what she likes best about the dances, Emily replied, "I like snappin' my fingers to the beat. I like the lights, the action, and the beat of the music." And when asked what she dislikes, "nothin', just nothin'," was her response.
Sophomore Troy Marbowls, on the other hand, dislikes the fact that there are no free refreshments served, but he ·does like the selection of music played and "just dancing with my girlfriends."
Senior Becky Boswell appreciates the low cost; "they're one of the cheaper forms of entertainment and they're fun."
She especially enjoys the fact that "you can do whatever you want and you don't have to be John Travolta."
Boswell's favorite aspect of Lincoln High dances is when they play the hit song ·"Fame." "It brings out the 'Fame Dancer~ and creativity in everyone."
Showing one of their many breakin' talents, Bryant Bishop and Danny Tucker prepare for ~he break dance contest to follow. They came in second place in the contest.

Not another "Yesterday" Homecoming made memorable
by events
It was a dark night. The fog and threatening rain made it gloomy. It was a night that warranted staying at home, warm and dry. But, football players, band members, spirit members, concert choir members and numerous students, had to abandon the warm-and-dry idea; this night was homecoming.
At Seacrest Field, before the game, Homecoming seemed likely to be doomed when the lights went out. However, after a long, uneasy wait, the lights came back on. The game started a little late, but many students thought that the delay made the game more exciting since everyone was really hyped-up for the game by the time the field was illuminated.
The band, needless to say, was not quite as eager to be out on the field that night. Heavy rain and the tearing-up effect of any football game had turned the field into a swamp. But, as senior Eric Jones noted, • the band had plenty of enthusiasm and carried through with the many cheers that originated in his section-trumpet, of
course.
When it came time for the half-time activities, the band and the Homecoming Court filed onto the field excited, even if a little reluctant. The court included Deb Lawson, Tracy Lightbody, Melissa Miller, Lisa Murray and Tammy Schriner for the Queen candidates. The candidates for Homecoming King included Kevin Burbach, Pat Gaines, Bill Sheets, Corky Simms and Steve Wise. Tracy was named Queen and Pat became King.
Other Homecoming festivities included honoring Distinguished Alumni Francis Allen, Susan McClanahan and Carl Oleson with the annual double assembly that morning. Complicating the adjusted schedule for the assembly and the annual Homecoming pep rally, there was an unexpected fire in the woodshop. Luckily, the fire department put the fire out before much damage was done.
Somehow, after all the little disasters shrouding Homecoming, it is doubtful that it will become just another "yesterday "
Displaying confidence in his team, this player gives the #1 sign He wasn't far off in his prediction-LHS defeated formerly unbeaten LSE that night with a score of 7-5.
Homecoming wouldn't be complete without the dance after the game. Deb Placek, Luci Jellum, Gregg Peterson, and Becky Boswell are just a few of the many dancers
Allowing their relief to show, Lisa Snyder, Dawnette Nungesser and Mollie Keller joyfully finish their routine. The Linkettes had a good reason to be happy-they made it through the show even though it entailed kneeling in the soupy mud.
Slightly bowing his head, Pat Gaines reaches up to remove his crown. Besides being crowned Homecoming King, Pat was present for the game to sing the National Anthem with Concert Choir.

The elephant ride was one activity at the Renaissance Fair. Other games of the period included ring toss, Jacob's Ladder
A field trip with meaning Renaissance Fair offers fun and education
Early one fall, Sunday morning, LHS students began to gather in the north lot. They were waiting-some were nervous, some sleepy, others anxious and still others were bouncy with energy. Finally, the bus came. This was what they'd all been waiting for and slowly they filed onto the bus.
These students, and a handful of faculty, • were leaving for the annual Renaissance Fair, held near Kansas City. And, every year a group of students gathered at school one fall morning to attend the Fair.
But, this year was different. This year the usual group-the Madrigals-was joined by students from the English and Art Departments.
Mr. Curt Ratliff, the British and European Writers teacher, said that Mrs. Merrell Grant was to thank for the interdepartment cooperation. However, all three departments were anxious to work together to make the trip possible.
At the Renaissance Fair, there were many things to do and see. Mr. Ratliff especially enjoyed the comic act "Puke and Snot ." He said that the firm understanding of the period and the updated version of what times were like made the act his favorite.
"In fact," Mr. Ratliff said, "I spent most of
• Something was happening everywhere you looked whether it be dancers (above) or a parade of walking comedians. All performers working at the Fair dressed according to the time period and most developed the voice and mannerisms of the past also.
my day watching them over and over again."
To senior Devon Schumacher, experiencing the time period helped him see what he was studying in Brit. Lit. "Seeing the period recreated," Devon said, "really put ilt in perspective." ·
Devon also liked talking with the people working at the Fair. And, bec~use the Renaissance Period interested him, he knew that those people were correct in • their portrayal of the time.
Out of all the activities, junior Sheri Spilker most wanted to do the Maypole. However, when she made it to the Pole, she discovered that she was too late. Instead, Sheri and her companions watched several plays and made some taste-tests on the food.
Mr. Ratliff, Devon and Sheri all agreed on some points. For instance, it was very realistic-from costumes to personalities to activities. All three commented that the trip was fun, besides being educational.
"If the students didn't gain any interest in the Renaissance Period," Mr. Ratliff said, "they gained knowledge about each other removed from the classroom setting .I hope this trip becomes an annual event; everyone had a good time." Performing for the audience, this magician uses a volunteer for his dollar bill trick. Even though the magic was a bit modernized at the Fair, magic was popular during the Renaissance Period
Members find time Organizations membership varies
In finding members for organizations, such as Math Club, Student Council, Band, Mummers, Chess Club, Computer Club, etc ... , the members and sponsors have many ways of finding new membership. These members and sponsors try to find students interested in the kinds of things that particular organization has to offer.
In Student Council, the junior and senior representatives go to sophomore English classes to find perspective sophomores for Student Council; "We go to their (sophomore) classes to try and get new people interested in Student Council," President Shelly Loos said. "We tell them about some of the past activities and about some new activities being planned, it seems we've had pretty good success with it."
Shelly went on to say that in 1983 less than 100 sophomores voted for who
they wished to represent them in the Student Council. In 1984, 22 sophomores ran. and about 270 voted.
The junior and senior representatives also tell the sophomores about the Student Council as a whole, "We tell them it's fun, but it takes a lot of time. Some of this time is out of school. We also tell them it's not a normal activity in that it is a class, and a member of Student Council gets normal class credit."
"As a whole, I like the sophomores' creative ideas," Shelly said, "They bring new ideas to Student Council, and therefore _ make it a better organization."
Mrs. Patience Fischer, from Math Club, said they depend mainly on "word of mouth."
"New members are usually friends of old members interested in Math, she said, "The members tell their friends about Math Club and hope they participate."
Showing definite leadership, Advocate Editors critique the latest issue. The Advocate is published 12 times a year.
Meeting the deadline, the yearbook staff decides on a certain picture. This is just one of the seven deadlines the staff had to meet throughout the year.
Planning the next activity, Student Council members Dan Sweeney, Shelly Loos and Trevor Bassen decide the details. A total of five sophomores were elected to Student Council.
Choosing the best pictures is one of Lisa Allison's jobs on the LINKS Staff. Lisa and the other photographers may take many pictures before they find the perfect picture among their negatives.
Reflection is often an important part of Yearbook work and Pam Gall uses some extra time to do just that. Pam was the Business Manager for the LINKS.
Head bent over lay-outs was a common sight in the yearbook room. Tracy Lightbody's job on the LINKS Staff was to draw up lay-outs following the general design of the section.
Reviewing lay-outs, the LINKS Co-Editors agree on design. Gregg Peterson and Robin Re-touchingmakesthephotolookpolished Rathjen had to recheck copy and photo and ready for the yearbook. Deb Placek does measurements so that all the "puzzle pieces" fit most of the touch-ups. together.
Staffs need responsibility Journalists share important characteristics
Kip Koll described this person as "Curious, responsible and dependable."
Pam Gall described this person as "knowledgeable, responsible and constantly on the 'go'.
Kris Yates described this person as a real individual "With a betterthan-average taste for literature."
Kip, Pam, and Kris were all describing a journalist. With these important characteristics, the person in the descriptions could easily be on and of the three journalism staffs at LHS-Advocate, Links or Image.
For instance, the person could be Kip on the Advocate staff.
Kip liked being on the Advocate staff because as a writer she was allowed a lot of creativity.
"You find your own way," Kip said. "No one is telling you what to d " o.
Carolyn Goodwin, Advocate staff advisor, said that she was "really impressed by the staff's ability to get beyond personalities for the good of the paper." She attributes this to the staff's sensitivity.
"They really don't want to hurt each other," Ms. Goodwin said.
Ms. Goodwin also thought that because the staff had overcome the pers onality problems, the staff worked better as a whole. There wasn't one person doing all the work, the whole staff worked hard to get the paper out. And every person did what they could, utilizing their talents (and patience) to the fullest.
Pam, the business manager for the Links staff felt that same level of cooperation had been reached on the yearbook staff. She felt that the
Cont. from pg. 29
staff was really coming together, and working well as a whole. However, the Links staff had a rough start. Between the complications of a new advisor, co-editorship, and other obstacles, the staff went through a period of "awkwardness" according to Cathy Knight, Links staff advisor. But, she was impressed with the way the staff "bounced back."
Another complication Ms. Knight was facing was the fact that the whole staff was made up of seniors. And since the Links staff is run nearly entirely by the students, the decision-making skills and refined talents need to be learned through experience on the staff.
To remedy this problem, the staff took on 3 underclassmen Kip Koll, Nell Eckersley, and Craig Brouwer second semester. The training
received during that short semester was the assurance that next year's staff would have some experienced members.
For the Image board, the year was one of renewal, revival. Last year, there was no Image board or magazine because plans had been made to have a city-wide literary magazine published. However, at the "last minute," the project had to be abandoned. So, after a year of inactivity, the Image board is back in action.
Judy Keller, Image board advisor, noted that even though Image is an LHS publication, its objectives are much different from Links or Advocate.
For instance, there was no staff to write all the stories. Everything in Image was from student contributions. Mrs. Keller was impressed with students who do make a contribution to the magazine.

Spirit is alive at LHS
Summer camps, activities, -fun ·for everyone
Lincoln High School's spirit groups have had many changes throughout the year. They began their activities during the summer at camps and get togethers.
Pomalinks had their summer camp at Creighton University in Omaha. They spent four days learn ing routines (about three a day) and having individual and group competitions. They were really busy while they were there. Two members won in the competitions: Vicki Shoemaker and Debby Lawson.
Vicki was chosen to be on Who's Who in Drill T earns, and also won a trip to Dallas. There she performed routines with the group.
Debby is a part of the American Drill T earn which performed in Acapulco.
The girls make up most of the routines. They choreograph all of
the moves to the music themselves. The 15 member drill team "Works well together," sponsor Teri Ourada commented. They have also had some changes within the group. An 'everyday' sponsor is one of them. Ms. Ourada is at their practices every morning. "They got to a point where they weren't getting enough attention, and now they don't know what to do with it," she said.
Other changes included an updated constitution, one that everyone understands and follows. They are more involved in community related activities instead of just a performance group .
Ms. Ourada em p h asized the need to work togethe r in everything they are doing.not just individually. "Each person is as important as the other," she said.

Being one of the well-established groups at LHS, they still have a hard time being recognized. All the work they put into what they do gets little appreciation. Most of the decisions are made by the group as a whole, but occasionally Ms. Ourada steps in. "It's their group, and I want them to feel as if they have some say so in what goes on."
Another spirit group at LHS that went to summer camp this year was the Flag Corps. Although not many
came in to teach them some techniques and a couple of routines. Most of their routines are made up by the group. The competition routines were a mixture of Larry and the Linkettes. "Competition at Seacrest and Memorial Stadium went very well," Lisa said, "We were really nervous because for most of us, it was our first 'real' competition, and a good test for the group on its own."

Quite a few changes are planned for the Pep Club next year. A proposal has been made to dissolve the Pep Club and make the other spirit groups bigger. Meaning more reserve and varsity cheerleaders to promote spirit.
Mr. Nelson wants to keep pep club for its educational values. It teaches the girls responsibility, leadership and spirit.
Senior Tami Atkins, an officer, explained that her job is challenging sometimes, "It's a lot of work trying to keep the members and the school interested in all the sports. It takes a lot of commitment from a person."
All of the sponsors and members of the spirit groups have stressed working together. Trying to get the whole school involved in the spirit and "Working together toward a common goal is what we're trying to accomplish."
Using their muscles and coordination, Varsity cheerleaders stand in formation. Early morning practices are attended by both squads.
The last spirit group to have a -summer camp was the Varsity and Reserve Cheerleaders. The varsity went to the University of Nebraska under the UCA (University Cheerleading Association). They learned new cheers and won some awards. One of them was a spirit stick from UCA. The reserve cheerleaders went to Nebraska Wesleyan for their camp. They learned some new cheers and some dance routines.
Varsity member Michelle Vanek reflected on her experiences of being a cheerleader. "I really like it, it's something that not everyone gets a chance to do. It's also a lot of fun, but involves lots of time and commitment."
As she explained, it is -a lot of work. The two squads make up most of their cheers and practice them together. Everyone helps but she feels that it shouldn't be just the cheerleaders. "We need the school to be part of the spirit."
Finishing their cheers are Chris Jenkins and Debbie Lococo. Both are part of the reserve cheerleading squad.

Involvement in clubs fulfill Participation enlightening
You might think the foreign language club members just go to meetings once a week or once a month and sit around discussing the new exciting facets of French, German, or Spanish grammar. Not so!
"People don't like to go to meetings, but they do like to go to exciting parties and eat lots of good food," according to Suzy Wilson, an active member in French Club.
The goal of Spanish club was to "get kids to learn about foreign food and culture," said Mrs. Spinar, Spanish teacher.
The club certainly did experience some good food when members took a trip to Arturos one evening. Even a few people who were not in Spanish club participated.
German club was a new club this year but was in need of more participating members. The club tried to get students interested in a German fair where students from different schools compete in their language abilities by a number of ways such as reciting poetry or acting out skits.
But foreign language clubs have more to do than just have parties and compete with their skills. During the holiday season, French club adopted a family who couldn't afford to have their own holiday celebration. They collected and gave clothes, food, and presents to a Lincoln family who couldn't have otherwise afforded it.

Math club goals include doing well in contests as well as learning new concepts in the world of mathematics.

"It's more evenly structured, I'm very glad about the fact that there are more female members in the club this year."
ihis year, the only common goal of Art Club was to have an art show. Members worked on a more individual basis to meet personal goals while still learning about new areas in the world of art.
"Last year we were working on a trip, this year we are not worrying •so much about making money as learning new things in different areas of art ... we have more time to work," explained art teacher, Anita Ross.

Groups learn responsibility
The Student Council at LHS is not just another 5th period class. The group, consisting of 5 seniors, 5 juniors and 5 sophomores were elected by their peers last spring and this fall. But what does student council have to offer?
"It is a connection between the students and the administration," said senior, and vice president, Trevor Bassen . "Student council helps promote the school and the community."
They are involved with almost every school related activity. Not only do they organize Homecoming, the Distinguished Alumni assembly, Spring Fling Week, and the Special Olympics, they get the most blood in the city during the Mobile Blood
Bank drive, ring bells for the Salvation Army, and serve on the Superintendent's Advisory board. The list could go on. The LHS student council never seems to rest.

The Junior Steering Committee has always been known for putting the prom together. This year the prom will be organized by a small group within the steering committee, and their only job is prom. The rest of the committee raises money and puts on various other dances. They sold carnations during lunch to raise money for plaques in memory of Victor Day and Shawn Markel.
According to junior Susan Hirt, treasurer of the committee, "The reason for the change is because a few people always ended up doing all the work for prom and so it made more sense to start with a designated 'Prom Committee."'
"There isn't as much interest as I'd hoped, but I enjoy it," Hirt said.
Senior Steering committee is responsible for picking out a class gift. The officers were elected after the holidays.

If you have a question to whether a procedure or activity is equitable at LHS-you are welcome to take your concern to the Equity Committee.
"We do two things primarily," said Ruth Kupfer, member of Equity, "Listen to concerns about situations at LHS that they think are inequitable and educate about different cultural beliefs, stereotypes, and awareness of different issues.
•"No one really knows about it: Some people critize it," according to Kyle Dyas, student council representative for Equity. "People don't realize how much is unequal. That something we think is dumb may be good for someone else.

of the Lincolnfest Parade. At the end of football season, the Marching Band split up into Symphonic and Concert Band. Symphonic Band is by audition only and the more advanced players are chosen.
Senior Eric Jones likes Symphonic Band because, "It brings people with the same levels of talent together and during competition, everyone goes through it together." It's an exclusive group in which any instrument can be played. Symphonic Band played some classical music and modern marches.
The Concert Band plays relatively the same types of music, but is designed for the student to learn more and develop their skills.

Many arts offered
Classes, clubs represent fine arts
What exactly are fine arts? A dictionary definition would be "Those arts considered expressive, including painting, drawing, sculpture, architecture, literature, drama and dance." Not all of these are offered at Lincoln High, but many are.
Speech and Debate were often lumped together as their tournaments usually took place at the same time. However in reality they are quite different. In speech there are many different categories such as Duet Acting, Oral Interpretation of Drama, Humorous Interpretation, Extemporaneous Speaking, Entertainment, Oratory, and Poetry.
Ginger Dzerk, a sophomore who was in Duet Acting and Oral Interpretation of Drama enjoyed Speech a lot. Before high school Ginger had never been in such a class, and probably would not have joined if some of her friends who were in it hadn't suggested she join. Dutch Fichthorn, the drama teacher and Speech coach also suggested she join, so join she did.
Ginger's favorite things about Speech were the competition and . •meeting lots of new people. "Although it's a lot of work, you do experience new things," she said. Most of these new experiences occured during the various Speech tournaments.
For participants in a Speech tournament, Saturday begins early. Everyone, Speech and Debate, would meet in the Lincoln High parking lot at 6:30 am. They would then pile into one of the two vans, driven by either Mr. Fichthorn or Mrs. Cain. After arriving at their place where the tournament was being held, they would then get their schedules indicating where and when their rounds were being held. After the rounds come the finals and ultimately the Awards Ceremony. These tournaments usually happened every weekend. In Debate there are teams which either have set arguable subjects which remain the same

The students each picked a card with a way of thinking written on it, such as pessimism. The pretend elevator would then break down and each student would act to what their card said.
Kathy Witfoth was also in Drama I first semester, but second semester she went into Drama II, which she liked a lot better. For one thing there weren't any tests or notes in Drama II. Also the students seemed more mature and interested in acting. It started off with improvisations, much like the ones in Drama I, but these soon got harder until they became actual scenes from plays. The students were grouped together by Dutch Fichthorn, who taught all drama classes. This group then looked for a scene which would suit their needs.
The Drama Club, better known as the Mummers, is another great group for those who like drama, but don't have time for a class. Dutch Fichthorn was the advisor, Devon Schumacher was president, Stephanie Ortiz w~s vice president, Susan

Mummers was also pretty much responsible for putting on Joy Night, and som e of the acts also-contained Mummer members. The play in the spring was also put on by Mummers, except that only Mummers could be in it. Not only that, but they had to be Mummers who had earned enough points through attending meetings, trying out for pl<:1ys, helping out backstage during the various · productions. The most important thing to remember about Mummers is that one dosen't have to be in an actual drama class to join, in fact one doesn't have to be able to act very well.
Loan Tran wasn't in a drama class but joined Mummers anyway, because her friends begged her to. Once there she really enjoyed herself. She met many new people and learned lots of new things. For Story Theatre she was on Makeup crew and also helped with publicity. All in all fine arts are a Great experience.

or this year's All School Play, a different sort of play was chosen by Director Dutch Fichthorn. Story Theatre was a play involving different style or type of theatre called "presentation of theatre" whereby the actors don't tty to hide the fact that it is a play, they often speak and look directly to the audience. It isn't very realistic, more imaginative, no props are used, there is minimal scenery, and simple costumes.
"It's a very difficult style of theatre to perform," said Fichthorn, "miming props is really tough."
"I thought it turned out very well though," he continued, "probably the best All School Play in the last few years."
There were many sophomores and juniors involved who weren't very experienced in theatre, although Fichthorn said, "after a while they really got into it."
Sophomore Mike Rozmarin stated his feelings. "It was a more relaxed, fun sort of play-good for the beginning of the year ... people
were very professional in putting it together and memorizing their lines. Each person had to create their own character since there was no certain way the acting was to be done .it was very exciting."
Rozmarin acclaimed most of the actual pulling together of the play to Mr. Fichthorn's directing talents. "He has a very good way of making sure everybody has their work done."
Joynite celebrated those memorable T. V. moments this year in their version of "The Boob Tube Review."
Randy Nuss played the role of Marlin Perkins in a mockery of the show "Mutual of Omahas Wild Kingdom."
When asked why he wanted to participate in Joynite, Nuss said, "I like acting and want to be in as many productions as possible, but I especially like doing comedy, acting comedy, and writing comedy."
This years Joynite gave many Cont.

Susan Morris, who was one of the emcees did a skit with Laurie Fuller and Naomi Nagi about a game show.
When asked why she participated, Susan replied, "I wanted to do something crazy and fun my senior year."
"It doesn't come together until about two days before opening night, you don't really know how it's going to be until then .. .it's really exciting opening night," Susan explained, "I thought it was awe•some, the response we got from the people made me happy, they really thought it was funny"
Randy Nuss felt it could have been more organized and said, "more people should participate and take advantage of the opportunity because it's really a fun thing to do."
For this years musical, Director Joseph Skutchan selected the Rogers and Hammerstein classic "The Sound of Music."
Pat - Gaines, who played the leading male role as Capt. Von Trapp, said he went into the production very uncomfortable.
"I didn't know anything about the musical or about my character .. .I had to do a lot of thinking, it finaily amounted to me writing out a character sketch of Capt. Von Trapp nearly four pages long. I had a lot of difficulty forming my character. It was the biggest challenge for me."
Pat pointed out that acting was just as important as the music in the musical although the music was the emphasis.
He said he was also scared with working with such a large cast . "It's scary because you don't know if you're all going to be able to cooperate, you're away from each other so much, working on separate tasks ... Amazingly enough we were able to pull it together and get all the

Students plan ahead
Counselors help to form future
Every year, more and more people go on to continue their education. Lincoln High School counselors can play a major role in these stages of planning.
"Going on to continue an education is extremely important," counselor Alma Howdeshell said of planning a future." It can also be kind of scary."
Mrs. Howdeshell said first she finds out the student's "interests, abilities, goals, expectations of life beyond high school, possible employment, and the training available for that employment.
"I help students in a whole variety of ways," she said. "I give students information on colleges, universities, testing dates, employment opportunities, just to name a few," she said.
"I help students with financial aid preparations," she · continued.
"I also help fill out college entrance applications."
Mrs. Howdeshell also gives her opinion on the perspective colleges. "I give the student my point of view on the college, and some questions to ask the college representative when he/ she comes to Lincoln High. I also show what should be known before a student pursues a career or college."
Senior Tammy Parsons has used some of this information available to pursue a school/ career situation, "I am trying to be accepted to the Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland," she said. '
At the academy she would spend her four years in school and then at least five extra years in the Navy. If it is as tough as a military academy, a private institution, or a state university, planning a future is very important and should be thought out carefully. Like they say "An education is a terrible thing to waste."
Searching his files, counselor Ray Henning seeks information for an interested student. Mr. Henning was a new counselor this year.
Providing a supplement or alternative to college, the military recruits LHS students each year. This representative was taking care of official business.

Beginning the meeting, the National Honor Society starts to discuss topics Future service projects and the chapter bylaws were presented
Society finds new format
In 1984, the purpose of the National Honor Society was revised.
In the past, seniors were chosen at the end of five semesters at Lincoln High. These seniors were chosen as strictly an honor group. This year there was one more restriction put on the members; a service project. The candidates were chosen at the beginning of the senior year, not the middle as before. To be a member, each person had to participate in the service project decided on by the group. According to Gregg Peterson.
president of the Lincoln High chapter, the group voted for a one hour minimum of service to be considered an active member. This meant that each candidate would have to do at least one hour of work on any given service project.
The Society had two different projects during the holiday season, and hoped to plan more for the spring. They rang bells for the Salvation Army, and also helped in the Salvation Army's toy drive, collecting toys at lunch and during the day, then donating them to the Salvation A~__y.

Early graduation for some
F or most graduating seniors, graduation was something to look forward to, and1it is the general opinion, the sooner the better.
A few students have chose to skip the graduation ceremonies but have nonetheless graduated all the sooner. •
Maura McLaughlin was one such student. She decided to receive her diploma mid-term.
''I wanted to go on to do alot of. other things besides go to high school. ever since I was a junior • I knew I wanted to graduate
mid-term."
Maura had decided to move to California to live with her aunt and uncle while working to make money for college.
She had planned on going to school in California, so by being a resident of California she'll have avoided paying the more expensive out of state tuition.
"It'll be fun just knowing I won't have to go through the hassle of registering for 2nd semester and just knowing that I'lll finally through after first semester."

Army recruits LHS seniors
As second semester rolled around, some students were still trying to decide what direction their lives would take after graduation.
For others, such as Pam Gall and Craig Bartels, the decision had already been made: the military.
In early June, after recovering from graduation, lounging at the pool, working at a summer job, or making preparations for college in the fall, Pam and Craig will already be active in their Basic Training Courses.
"I'm really excited," Pam said, "But when I took my oath I
thought-God, I just signed eight years of my life away."
After Basics, she plans to return to Lincoln and attend UNL. During the summer, for six weeks, she will be stationed in Fort Ben Harrison, Indiana, for AIT school to train her as a finance specialist.
"I will be active in the Army for two years," Craig said, "After that I'm sort of 'on call' for six years if they need me."
Craig added that it's nice to know what he's going to do and is looking forwatd-to_the experience, even though he leaves so soon after school gets out. •

Sorting through the mess, choosing a college can be tough. College catalogs can help the process along.
College seems ideal goal
It seems that most students share the common goal of looking forward to going to college after high school, according to some LHS counselors, although not all will go to college
These students worked hard during their high school years to get the grades they need to get into the "college of their choice."
Laurie Fuller is just one such person. She has been accepted at Oberlin college in Ohio.
Laurie has always had plans of going to college.
"I decided early ... if you apply eai:ly, you have a better chance of being accepted/' she said.
Fuller has made the Honor Roll all three years of high school, and she has obviously been rewarded for her efforts.
"It was really exciting when I got accepted. I couldn't wait to tell my friends."
Laurie decided Oberlin was the college for her by visiting the campus, talking wjth friends who have gone there, and talking with some administrators.
Dreaming of her future living on the campus of Oberlin, in Ohio, Laurie Fuller looks pleased with herself. Getting into the college of ones choice is often half the battle

"Red Dawn" mainly fun
Red Dawn was a movie .re· leased in the summer of 1984 that depicted a communist takeover of part of America. It dealt with a family that escaped to the mountains only to discover a few months later that their town was run by communists.
Not only was the movie released for entertainment, but to some, the movie brought out a point. One day, could the communists invade America?
To Jeff Frederick, a senior, the entertainment value was
more important. "I thought it was a good movie," Jeff said, "It sort-of-worried me, but not that much."
Jeff said he felt that the movie was released at a time when it would have the biggest impact. "It was released during a time of 'The Day After' and all the nuclear arms talks," he said.
Jeff felt that the movie was only partially realistic and stated finally, "It was a good movie, though."
With the problem of Nuclear War in the air, the media has made the topic an even more public one. Last year it was The Day After. This year is was "Red Dawn."

Displaying the variety of pamphlets, Deb Placek used these to make her decision. Commercial Art was her final choice.
Art school replaces college
Instead of going the normal route, what most people think of as a four-year institution, senior Deb Placek decided on a different way of continuing her education.
During the school year, Deb was attempting to be accepted in the Commercial Art program offered at Southeast Community College.
Deb said that 70 people were put on the waiting list of the program, then the administrators would "sift-out" the candidates
that later said they didn't want to participate, personal reasons for not entering the program, etc.
"The list would be cut down to 25 just before March," Deb said. "Then in March, I would attend a workshop about the program. The list would then go down to 15. These 15 would be the ones in the program."
Deb said she hoped the 18 month program would help her get into a career dealing with designing album covers, advertisements, etc.
Proudly showing her sketchbook, Deb Placek is finished with her assignment. Deb will be continuing her education at Southeast Community College.

Marriage benefit to some
Angela Weber, a senior, chose a most unusual way to spend second semester of her senior year. On Dec. 26, 1984, Angela married the man she had been dating for four years.
She said the biggest reason for marrying was that she was a foster child, and this was a way out of her life at home. She just wanted to be on her own.
Angela explained the living arrangements by saying that she lived in Bennet, Nebraska, about 15 miles from Lincoln. She lives with her husband, another couple, and one other person
who is single. There are also three children living there. The children do not belong to Angela and her husband.
Angela said that the only bad things about it are the things people say.
"People tell me I should have waited," she said, "I just know that no matter when, I would have married him, whether it was in December or July."
All-in-all, she feels good about the relationship. "He pushes me to stay in school, and it's really nice to come home to him instead of a family."

Being advised by her volunteer coordinator, Cindy Wallick tries to decide the volunteer work for her Many students find volunteer work to be very rewarding.
Volunteering fun, different
M any LHS students have had different experiences through volunteering. Every senior who takes the Citizenship Issues class is required to volunteer 20 hours at a volunteer site.
Amy Hudson was a volunteer at Lincoln General Hospital. She worked as a junior volunteer, helping in the gift shop and assisting people to their rooms. Amy enjoyed volunteering, she said, "You meet a lot of people and make new friends." She enjoyed being out in the public, "I feel I've benefited from the people I've met and worked with. I feel more
confident and assertive working with different people."
Cheryl Branigan got real involved in her volunteering. She became a 'Y' pal. Cheryl commited herself to volunteering just more than 20 hours of her time, she's giving a part of herself to her 'Y' pal. "We've gone to the park, went shopping and even got pizza once." Cheryl likes it a lot. She's learned to work with and take care of kids and learned their hopes and fears. Cheryl will keep on doing her volunteering even after the school year is over . .
Filling out forms, much must be done before volunteering placements begin. These are some of the forms used by the Social Studies Department.

Seniors benefit elections
Being an election year, it was exciting for those who were involved in it.
John Tidball, a senior, got involved in a political campaign for morE; than just one reason. "Not omy just to get involved, I participated in a campaign to sqtisfy my twenty hours of volunteer work for Citizenship Issues," he said.
John helped Senator J.J. Exon get re-elected for another six years in the United States Senate.
John said he learned a lot about the inner-workings of a campaign. he found some good things about the campaign and also some bad things.
"I really liked the day we went out with Oren to put up yard signs," John said. "These weren't ordinary yard signs, though. They were more of a billboard size. It was quite an experience."
John said he didn't exactly like stickering, but overall his time with the Exon campaign was pretty good.

As part of the litter campaign, buttons put the point across. Litter Day was both work and fun.
Students and Staff "Can it!"
When you are handed a plastic litter sack from three student council members in front of the school on your way out to lunch screaming "DON'T LITTER!", and slapped with a sticker that says "KISS ME, I DON'T LITTER!", you can bet it's Can Litter Day!
In an effort" to alert LHS students and administration of the litter problem, and to get every one to "Think before you throw"the student council held the first Can Litter Day on December 12.
According to Shelly Loos, member of student council, and
Judy Kirsh, council advisor, it was a success.
"I think it was successful, for the day," Kirsh said, "We hope it will carry throughout the year."
Student Council was planning a litter project, but was especially planned by a letter from a concerned citizen who wrote a letter to the Lincoln Journal commenting on the appearance of the LHS parking lot as she drove by each day.
So, even if you aren't greeted each day by someone with a trash sack-the thought remains to THINK BEFORE YOU THROW!!
Overflowing with trash, Lincoln High has had a litter problem this year Can Litter Day was an effective way to get the problem cleaned up.

unior Andrew Broman attended the Fifth Annual Youth Conference on Disarmament at the United Nations in New York. He attended the conference in November.
Broman said that he had to send in an application to the Unitarian Church, who sponsors the conference. They read through the applications and chose twenty-six students from all over the nation and one student from Canada.
"I had to write why I wanted to be there," said Broman, "and what I had already done about the subject (of disarmament)."
He said that the conference also attended a First Committee
meeting. At the meeting delegates spoke about their views ori disarmament.
"It (the meeting) was rather boring though," he said, "because all there was were three different delegates who made speeches, whjch they just read from some Xeroxed paper."
Aside from the First Committee meeting Broman said that he did learn a lot about disarmament, the Soviet Union, and the Arms race that he didn't know before the conference.
"I think it (the conference) would be better if it would be longer, if they had more speakers and experts on the subject (of disarmament)," he said.

Is Search and Seizure fair?
There's a new law which says that a teacher may search a students locker if the teacher believes that the student may be concealing something illegal. This has created quite a stir, because it seems to violate a lot of what America stands for. It's openly considered an ·outrage by many.
Chris Tetherow, a junior at Lincoln High, thinks it's terrible. "People have personal things in their lockers." She also feels that it really won't help with the drug problems as the people
who have this problem aren't going to leave their supplies in their lockers. The only other illegal objects would be weapons, and why would those be in school lockers anyway?
Kevin Morrow, another junior at Lincoln High thinks this law is alright as long as the teacher had adequate reasons for their search. After all isn't it for the person's own good?If a teacher is just malicious, he would probably search anyway, law or no law .
Searching someones locker, Cathy Knight looks for evidence. With the new law, teachers have the power to search and seize.

busy life,
Student time a balance act
Some students today seem to be busier than ever, what with keeping up in academic work, jobs, extra curricular activities, and of course, social time.
Lissy DeGrazia was a portrait of one such student.
As a junior, her time was well managed and as well it must be. Some activities on her agenda included, a job working at the Closet in Gateway, Pomalinks, Varsity Swing Choir, Concert Choir, dance, a voice class at UNL, the lead role in the musical, school, as well as finding time to go out with buddies.
How did Lissy find time for all this? "You have to be very
organized and willing to shift your time around,". says DeGrazia, "and you get five hours of sleep."
"You have to decide what is the most important to you and spend a little time doing each thing. Right now I want to do a wide variety of things."
"If one chooses this sort of lifestyle one must enjoy it," DeGrazia said. •
"I'm a very independent and active person. I have to be doing something constantly. I can't just sit around and watch T. V .I enjoy being out and around with people and I think high school is the perfect time to do this.",
A
Lizzy DeGrazia was a very involved junior. She was a Pomali k, in Swing Choir, and Concert CHoir, just to name a few.
Registering for class, Tony Menard tries to make the best of it. Registering has been made easier by getting rid of card pulling.

Sortingt,rough the beU wires, Student Council President Shelly Loos prepares for music. Imagine having music instead of bells during passing time.
Pass to the sound of music
You're sitting in class, your head hurts, and you're starving. You look at the clock. The bell is going to ring in about five seconds so you hurriedly reach under your desk. But just as you pull your books out the bell rings and everyone tramples out of the room leaving you at your desk in a state of shock. Now, look at this scene again, but instead of the piercing trill of the bell put in som(: nice soothing music.
Well next year you may not need to imagine this. It is now
being seriously considered. The music would last the full five minutes of passing time and would be different every period. According to Shelly Loos, the student council president, the music can be completely controlled electronically. The major expenses would be putting intercom speakers in the halls and bathrooms and also piping the music throughout the school. Shelly felt that the music would ease tension and build respons- ibility in the students.

Tails bring in new fashion
In the 1984 Links yearbook
one would see Peggy Carpenter with long hair. In the 1985 yearbook one sees Peggy with short hair-except in the back. Peggy is one of the people that had a tail tfiis year.
Peggy said she decided to have a tail for many reasons. "I just wanted to be different," she said, "One reason is because no one else had one." •
She also said she was sentimental to her long hair. "I had
long hair for so long, I just couldn't let it all go, so I just cut out a tail," she said, "I didn't like conventional hairstyles, with a permanent or curling irons or blow dryers."
Peggy said she has gotten mostly positive comments about her tail, but she feels people tend to assume things about her because of her tail.
Would Peggy ever cut it off? "NO," she said, "It is part ofmy philosophical being!"
Concentrating on her story, Angie
looks for an ending. Angie was a member of the Advocate staff this year.

Extended hours a 'downer'
The amount of hours required to graduate at Lincoln High next year will increase. Students will be required to enroll in at least six classes all three years of high school. The actual time classes last will be extended also, to possibly 60 minutes.
There have been mixed responses to the decision.
"It doesn't bother me, I've been taking a full schedule both my years of high school," says junior Keith Miller.
But with students required to take that many classes, classes will be more crowded since a lot of students don't take a full schedule of classes.
Miller explained, "Classes are
full right now, some are long enough as it is for what little they have to say."
Miller felt a lot of class time at present is not used constructively as it is, so why add to the amount of time if it won't be used.
He felt the extra time would be unneccessary, especially for some students.
"I don't think a lot of kids will like it, especially those with jobs It may even cause a higher drop out rate."
"For some kids it would make it a harder day for them. For those who like school and want to get more out of it, it will be better."

Twins can be confusing
Being a twin may have one drawback that is not very obvious. That unobvious drawback is to continually be asked "What is it like to be a twin?"
Melvin and Mike Burbach are both juniors at Lincoln High who are identical twins.
Both brothers said that they do share some of the same classes, friends, and interests. Both participate in baseball, football, and in Prep Jazz band. But, then again, many siblings or even good friends sometimes share the same interests and
friends.
"People always ask me what it is like being a twin," Melvin said, "It's like me asking them what it's like 'not' being a twin."
He said that people, even their family get their names confused at times. He usually even answers if someone calls him Mike. But he doesn't think that he and Mike are that much alike. • ''I don't know, it's (being called Melvin) happened for so long, it doesn't matter," said Mike. "I just never think about it."
Wondering why he's getting so much attention, Scott
expresses a confused look. It was just a friend getting in his locker

Pep Club in good shape
Is pep club dead? Has it gone too far downhill? This was a question faced by many sophomores as they went into the basketball season this year.
Sophomore Nancy Boswell was one such case. She feels pep club is not dead, that there is a lot of enthusiasm.
She feels that to get a lot out of Pep club, "You really need to dedicate yourself." She also said, "For some people, pep club is too much work. So, they just quit after football season. We
expect to lose people after football."
To keep interest the pep club tried to organize activities to get the club and the school involved.
"We did 'Good Night Knights' at the Southeast basketball game," she said, "We also did 'Spirit Week' for everyone i~ the school to dress up, be comfortable, and to show their school spirit."
Why did Nancy stick with it?
"It's fun," she said, "And I want to be a Pomalink."
Showing how fun Pep Club can be, Nancy Boswell is really enthusiastic. Dedication and hard work help keep the spirit alive.

The new English 10 Rotation
This year, for the first time, there was a rotation which took place in three English 10 classes. During the first semester the rotation consisted of units with Deb McGinn (Drama), Carolyn Goodwin (short stories and poetry), and Curt Ratliff (the novel). The teachers had six weeks in turn with each of the three classes. For the second semester this changed. Miss McGinn left the rotation, so that she could teach those who had discontinued the rotation, and also to give the two remaining teachers longer rotation periods of nine weeks each. There were varied opm1ons about the rotation. Christy
Steider thought that there wasn't always enough time. "You couldn't get to know your teachers and their different ideas." She also felt that not all the rotation periods were the same length, causing pressures in certain units. She liked it much better second semester, with more time in each unit. Deb McGinn, who started teaching at Lincoln High this past year, said the rotation had helped her adapt to change and she was able to strengthen her drama unit by teaching it so many times. However, she felt she needed more stability and continuity as did many of her students.
Taking a break from his studies, Paul Campbell displays his school spirit. Paul played football on the sophomore team this year.
Showing their school spirit, these sophomores support their • teams. Attendance at the games was great.

Janet came from Solrod Strand, Denmark, and her stay lasted from August 12, 1984, to June 24, 1985. She stayed with Scott Steele, a junior at Lincoln High School, and his family.
Janet said she financed her trip by working. At first she wanted to go to England for a

month, but her parents said they didn't have enough money.
She then found out about a trip to America for a whole year. She got a job to pay for the trip and her parents paid for her spending money.
Janet said she has been treated very well in America. She has "funny friends" and had a real good time in America. As of her family, she feels like "I'm being treated like a daughter. I just don't want to leave," she said.
Showing off that Dutch smile, Janet Nielson shows how she feels about her visit in America. Going to a foreign country can be a fun experience.

Attending a basketball game, the Pep Club lounges in their 'jammies'. Pep Club's idea was 'Good Knights' for this home game.
Taking his attention away from his studies, sophomore Jim Burrus relaxes. High School studies are a change from that of junior high.
First day means getting lost
Do you remember walking the halls of Lincoln High for the first time? For Lincoln High Sophomores that experience happened only last fall.
Sophomore Greg Hackbarth said that he had visited the school with the Goodrich Swing Choir before he actually attended here.
"I was worried about getting lost," said Hackbarth. "But, it (attending Lincoln High) was exciting."
He said that he came to school an hour early on the first day to
get his class schedule. He met with a group of his friends and they walked around the school building so they could find their classes before they started.
"The only time I actually got lost was when I had to find my schedule," he said.
All in all, Lincoln High is a confusing building. For a newcomer, such as a sophomore, it takes either a lot of preparing, or some time of being lost to get through that first day.

Center solves problems
T·o help students in their out of class time, and to provide a place for students to work in school, the Tutoring Center was created.
Shelly Franklin, a sophomore, said she used the center when she had a problem with a class.
"I needed help with Algebra 3 -4, and when my problem couldn't be solved the first time, more teachers were called in to help. It helped me a lot," she said.
She said that Math is the main subject she used it for, but she would have used it for whatever
subject she was having trouble in.
When asked about how she went about using the center, she said she just walked in after school.
Shelly said that lots of people use the Tutoring Center. She also said that when she was helping a friend with work she would send them to the Tutoring Center if she couldn't help them.
All-in-all the center has been very beneficial to a lot of people," she said.
Amazed at the wonders of learning, Roger Davies, Sally Kirsch, and Susan Hirt gather in the tutoring center to share that special moment The tutoring center was a good place to get help in all subjects.

Discussing suicide essential
Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among American teenagers today, and society is taking steps to help eliminate suicide and promote a better awareness of the problem.
Some of those steps included organizing group discussions on the topic to promote a better understanding among people about suicide, so hopefully they will know more about how to handle the crisis when and if in that situation.
The Lucky lady held one such discussion by which a couple of psychologists led the discussion. Senior Becky Routh and junior Margaret Scott attended the discussion.
"Ifelt like I walked away telling them something everybody there already knew what they said at the Lucky lady."
•The suicide discussion didn't go very well at the LL, however there was a much more organize9 and helpful discussion held at Goodrich junior high that covered a lot more aspects in the problem of suicide.
Parents of people who committed suicide as well as people who actually tried to commit suicide attended. It was well publicized and a lot of parents and kids were there to make a good, sharing informative discussion.
Caught by the roving eye of a Links Staff camera, Margaret Scott gives one of her best smiles. Margaret attended the discussion on teen suicide at the Lucky Lady.

Sophomores and Driving
Vickie Hummer has a car, a license, and has taken Driver Education. She felt having a license gave her much more freedom-"You can go wherever you want, whenever you want." Even though there are new expenses and new responsibilities she felt it was worth it.
Kelli Kraft who has taken Driver Education believed that it helped her a lot. It gave her some experience behind the wheel and helped her with learning the rules and regulations. Her only criticism of Driver Education w1as that the class was too crowded and not long enough.
Mike Arroyo, who has also taken Driver Education said it helped him with the driving laws and gave him experience; but he also felt there weren't enough driving instructors.
Loan Tran, who hasn't taken Driver Education and who doesn't have a license, felt that Driver Education would give · people more driving experience. "Driving would mean more inde pe nde nc e and more job opportunities." She felt that the disadvantages of there being so many qualified drivers are that there will be more drivers on the road, more pollution, more accidents.

Teacher goes beyond limit
Last summer, Curt Ratliff, one of Lincoln High's more enthusiastic English teachers when it comes to English literature, attended the seminars at the "Teachers Shakespearian Institute" in Washington D.C.
The seminars included an intense study of four Shakespear- , ian plays. Activities included lectures by visiting scholars, skits by professional actors, acting training, and teachers from all over the country sharing new methods of instruction.
"Every type of school imaginable was there, there was an awful lot of good input and new ways to offer students successful experiences to turn kids on to good literature," Ratliff said.
Teachers from all over shared new developments in the material as well as new approaches in teaching methods that could be replicated easily by others.
The overall goal was to improve personal teaching skills by sharing positive approaches to the subject matter, Ratliff explained.
"I've learned lots of new stuff, and new ways of working with students," said Ratliff, "It was great, it was one of the best professional training experiences I've had."
"I've been able to incorporate the innovative instruction ideas that were offered as ways to teach Shakespearian plays into my teaching of other content of British literature."
It was an action taken to keep the humanities classes alive.
"It reaffirmed my faith that there· are a lot of good things happening in education and a lot of good teachers who are working hard to make education even better."
Dazzling with his bright smile. Curt Ratliff is pleased with his newfound knowlege on the new approaches of teaching Shakespearean plays. Ratliff said attending the Seminar in Washington D.C. was one of the best professional training experiences he has had.

Reagan speaks to LHS
On Wednesday, October 24, 1984, a very influential person visited, and spoke to Lincoln High Students . The daughter of President Ronald Reagan, Maureen, was at Lincoln High to speak on the gender gao.
Ms. Reagan came to Lincoln High because of an interest in having Republicans, Democrats, and Independents come to Lincoln High.
Ms. Reagan spoke mainly on the gender gap, saying, one of the main problems political women face, is that they are relatively new to the political scene. She also said that for 15 years women have been trying to become involved in politics, and now that that has happened,
no one had told them what to do.
Ms. Reagan, also ' gave encouragement to students interested in getting involved with government, Ms. Reagan, who began to get involved in politics at the age of 19, encouraged involvement as a way to pay back society for all that has been taken. This includes taking advantage of the right to vote.
She ended her speech by encouraging students to have faith in themselves, and in the future. She told students they must realize that one day, all the advice will end. One day, all the assemblies, the teachers, the parents' guidance will be behind, and it is time to take the next generation's turn at society.

Clough's career was short
This past November, Roger Clough resigned as the superintendent of Lincoln Public Schools. His resignation will not be in effect until the end of the 1984-1985 school year.
Clough said that the reason he resigned was because of the chemistry between himself and the school board was such that they couldn't accomplish very much for the schools.
In February, Clough wasn't exactly sure of what his next career position would be. His possibilities did include becoming
a superintendent of another district. He was also considering something in management outside of the school system.
"I'm just taking a look at jobs in private business," said Clough.
Clough's career as the Lincoln · superintendent was an extremely short one considering that the two previous superintendents reigned for 15 to 17 years. Clough served as superintendent for approximately two years.
He did not know who would replace him. As of February the search had just begun.

Courses aid career
Preparatory classes help
Although there are other preparations for college and career decisions, the class room is very important to this decision. Certain classes can be taken to prepare students for their future education or occupation.
Mike Morris, a senior, said he planned on going into law someday. He took Physics, Vocabulary Building, and Speed Reading. As he said, HI hoped to increase my reading speed and my vocabulary. I'll need the extra vocabulary for law school."
Another class classified as "college-preparatory" is Advanced Composition. Mr. Eli Zietz, who teaches other English classes on top of Advanced Composition, said he tries to teach "Discipline of Learning" to his students. Mr. Zietz said that in college, students are not in class everyday, with a teacher looking down their backs. So, he teaches them to organize their time
to be able to study better for college classes.
"A couple ways of doing this is," he said, "I give a schedule of the class to each student in hopes of them some day making their own." I also try not to give too many hand outs. Rather I have the students write information down themselves. I feel that just writing this information down is the first step to learning it."
Mike Wittstruck, another senior, plans to be an electrician someday. "I've taken Advanced Vocational Electronics," Mike said, "As well as Physics and Precal." Mike even went so far as to join the Army Reserve to get money to start his journey through college. These are just a few of the many classes offered at Lincoln High to provide a simulation of a student's future college environment.

Culture and heritage abounds at Lincoln High Celebrate our Heritage Day
This year for the first time there was a Celebrate Our Heritage day at Lincoln High.
- The event started with an assembly in the gym during second period, March · 6, 1985. After a showing of flags from different countries of the world, it was time for the Folk dancers. The group contained six, all of whom were wearing authentic costumes from different countries. They did four dances, from Israel, Ireland, Greece and Russia. Next was Jazz and Blues. The principle instruments used were Xylophone, Bass and Drums. Classical guitar was used now and then. Then there was an informative lecture, mainly on the African history of Jazz.
After the assembly, people were to go to their first class on their schedule. These schedules generally contained only some of the classes students had signed up for the week before. Often, as with many of the cooking classes, too many people had signed up for a particular class, and had to accept an alternative. Many students felt this was unfair; some people got more than one cooking class, while others got none and were assigned classes in which they had no interest.
Sau Tran also felt that the . cooking classes were very good but wished she had received more of the classes she had signed up for. Even so, she enjoyed learning about different cultures and lifE:styles. One
major point of policy she would have changed was absenteeism. She felt that students who skipped class were dealt with too leniently. "Some classes had hardly anyone in them," she explained. Sau was not alone in this opinion. Shawn Perry also felt that the unexcused absentee students were let off too lightly.
Generally Shawn felt that Celebrate Our Heritage Day was, "Odd, but a nice change of pace." Kelli Kraftliked the change in the daily routine as well and felt, "We possibly learned something new." Her favorite class was "Japanese Labor," in which she learned about the differences in Japanese businesses.
Speaking at Culture Day, this speaker answers some questions. The main problem during the day was absenteeism.
Proudly carrying the flag of her native land, Janet Nielsen participates in Culture Day. To start off culture d ay, different people from different countries carried their respective flags through the gym.
Demonstrating a few dances, this group of dancers share some culture. The folk dancers performed dances ranging from Israeli, Greek, and Irish.

Most people are victims of cultural stereotypes and as a result are not recognized for their talents andevencfucouraged to pursue them. Women have predominently been the target of such unfair social stigmas.
America is a male dominated society, just look in the ·history books. Few women have been recognized for their accomplishments, or their accomplishments were hidden behind those of men. History books are filled with the accomlishments of men, even more so in the fields · of math and science.
In fact, it was a woman who first had a hand in processing computer programming, Lady Ada Byron Lovelace born in 1815. As with many women throughout history here accomplishments were hidden behind those of a man, Charles Babbage, who, in
the mid twentieth century • area, and Mrs. Fisher is a was known as the father forerunner here at Lincoln of modern computers.

Educational values are a part of music, art Classes more important
M
ore and more students are realizing the educational value of the elective courses. Importance of the course for the student is being noticed by the student.
"Students take courses in the Music Department because they realize it's important for them," Mr. Terry Rush commented. He also pointed out that "Music has infinite possibilities." Wherever you turn, music is right there. • Whether you're watching t.v., listening to the radio, or riding in an elevator, music is always present.
"It gives kids some place to show their talents. It's something they can take with them all their lives," added Mr. Rush.
Students take music courses for a variety of reasons. Some because they are extremely musically inclined, that have a talent they wish to express and , thus get a relief from studies. It also breaks away from studies. For every student, there is a reason, some values behind the decision to enroll in the class.
"There is no other activity other than music, be it vocal, or instrumental where a very large group of people working a long time for a common goal," concluded Mr. Rush.
In the Art Department, a variety of things went on. Mr. Sedlacek comments that there was a variety of projects to do in the Art
Department.
There were many opportunities to create and achieve individually. The students competed against themselves and doing what they can to improve. "There are so many right answers in art," added Mr. George Sedlacek. "The student balances his schedule from using their academic side to using the creative side. They use the heart and soul to create rather than the rational brain."
One goal in the Art Department was to have the student look closer at their everyday environment. To make people aware that they can create to stir emotions and make it ape._eal to th~ publ~c.

Many differences occured this past yea~
Things new in Language
Boredom, what a wonderous thing it is. For if one had to go without it when would one read the Lincoln High Course Offering Book? And if they didn't do that, then how on Earth would one be able to read those terrific course descriptions from the English and Foreign Language deoartments.
However, there were some changes that went on this past year. Deb McGinn began her teaching career as an English 10 instructor and was also part of the marvelous rotation. McGinn was not the only new teacher. Ping Wang came here from China during second semester. In China she had taught English in the middle school attached to Peking University. There were several differences noticed about the education system here. In China one has to pass a rigorous test to go on _ to
the next grade. They also have to pass an even tougher test to go to the University, but if they do pass the tuition is only about three dollars. Also in China the lunch break is about two hours long, including a nap time, but their classes are fifty minutes long, like ours, and there are generally six periods in a school day.
One more new thing was that this past year, for the first time in the history of Lincoln High, the English department had a computer. On this computer could be written compositions, essays and anything else one would wish to write.
Foreign Languages are hardly ever talked about, especially in the Course Offerings Book, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything to be said about them.
First of all the languages which have been
available here at Lincoln High are Spanish, French, and German. All of these can be taken through the fifth year. This means one could have taken it all through junior high and still be able to take it right through high school. One could always switch languages, for instance they have had German for two years and then decided they would prefer to take Spanish instead. All that needed to be done was sign up for Spanish and start from the beginning. Foreign languages could also help those who intend to go on to college, as it is now required to have four years of language to graduate from an Arts and Sciences University. If one wants to travel, languages are a necessity. They also gave opportunities to travel. There is a Spanish trip nearly every summer, and one could always be a Foreign Exchange student.

Major sources of help
Instuctional Resources and counselors together
The library is one, if not 'the' pulse of the school. Not only do students come in and out all day of their own free will but, classes and conferences are held, students visit with repre- sentatives from colleges, and there are many other uses for the library as well.
Marj Sawin, who was in charge of the print area, said that there were three main reasons that students went to the library. Students came in for study time, information on research projects, and leisure reading.
"I think we are getting even more kids in for leisure reading," she said.
Counselors also used the library. Sawin said that the balconies were used for regis- tration for three weeks this year.
Registration was not the only thing that counselors were responsible for, said Ray Henning, counselor. They helped students with personal problems, schedule changes, information on colleges, and just information in general.
"The best way we can help students is for them to
come in to talk to us," said Henning.
Along with the registra- tion and other uses of the library there were special uses for the library, such as the library's J section.
"The J section consists of material that is at, or below Junior High reading levels," said Sawin.
"We're real pleased with the use of our J sections," she said. "It's used by students of • average or above average reading abilities also."
She said that the section was used by art students who were studying English as a second language, students who needed research material, as well as those students who were at below average reading levels.
Some students that also used the J section were the MR students, said Sawin. She said that most of the students came in every two weeks and at least once a month.
Terri Ourada, teacher, said that there were 72 MR students at Lincoln High. Ourada was also the coordinater of the Special Olympics. She set up programs for the
students and made sure the students had current physi- cals, parent permission forms, practices, and sport activities.
Ourada organized such activities as bowling in January, swimming in February, basketball in March, track in April, and state games.
Ourada said that the kids that participated had a lot to give. They were always striving for improvement and appreci- ated everything one could do for them.
The senior placement courses were to help studerits with career decisions. Students were able to explore career opportunities such as by 'shadowing' a person in one of their career interests. They were also taught favorable aspects that an employer looks for in an employee.
• She said that the purpose was to improve a student's chances in finding a job in a career that they are comfortable with and will enjoy.
"Hopefully, we'll be able • to place them in jobs by showing them what employers look for in employees," said Ourada, "and teach them some helpful job skills."
Extremely surprised, Danae Svoboda and Melody Shafer get their grades from Mr. Henning. Mr. Henning was new to the Counseling Department this year.

Success is affected by some classes
What's needed in America
Look at American Society today. Like many countries America has three social classes; upper, middle, and lower. However, unlike most countries, America has a dream, which says everyone is born equal and with a chance of succeeding at whatever they do. In the past this hasn't been very true, but it seems to be improving slowly. This has caused a greater need for business knowledge as that is what all jobs include at some point and also a need for greater understanding of the way people think and act.
The Business Department at Lincoln High is around to help fill the need for business education. Bill Meyers, head of the department felt that good math and organizational skills are very important. Now all the
computer technology, typing, word processing, and other basic computer skills will be very useful and neces.: sary in the future. The Business Department only had four computers this year; two IBM's and two APPLES. So there were only short units of Computer related business taught in classes. They were used especially in·Accounting, to do problem solving, record management, payroll and taxes. The typing classes also used the computers for keyboard typing. Next year twelve morecomputers will be added, making it possible for longer units.
Social Studies is a very important subject which is useful in day to day lives. Lincoln High's Social Studies Department has many classes which help people get along with
others. Sociology and Psychology are two which really help with understanding why people do what they do and why they do it. Citizenship Issues is also very important as it teaches about the government and how to be a better citizen. "We're doing great things," said Ross Tegeler, head of the Social Studies Department. "We're trying to re-focus a little bit," he added in reference to a new study skills unit which helped students learn how to write essays and other papers. There were ten faculty members, one of whom was new, Susan Pierce, and one who also taught German, Terrell Hanshew.
Elective courses more than just 'time-fillers' Students getting involved
Many people think of electives as "timefillers" or easy classes. In reality, at LHS these courses are of essential educq.tional value. They teach students valuable skills.
Mr. Uhrmacher's drafting class is one such course. In the class his students use creativity along with math and geometry. Many different dimensions and figures require mathematical skills.
The student also enjoy the classes. "It's not as structured as most courses are," added Mr. Uhrmacher, "each student works at their own pace on a drawing."
One new addition in the drafting courses was a computer. It helped visualize the plans of a drawing, but as with all things, it wasn't perfect . ."There is a problem in the software, it just quits in the middle of a
drawing," but besides the difficulties, it worked for its purpose.
Another class that taught students to use their hands was in the Home Economics department. Mrs. Kay Sayre taught in the department arid • said "The students choose these courses for practical uses."
- Every kind of student could take courses in the department. This year more young males took classes in the department. "Men need the skills and knowledge as well as women," Mrs. Sayre said, "Both sexes are working now and everyone should have that common knowledge."
The Home Economic department touched all aspects of a persons life, getting along with people in relationships, skills, decision making, and communication. The teachers really enjoyed teaching the
courses, because there were so many areas to choose from in the department.
Physical Education is quickly becoming real important to the American life-style. Being physically fit and in condition was its new goal.
Physical Education teacher Janet Bates enjoys teaching the courses. She said, "The classes are elective, but people usually have one of two things in mind when they sign-up for them. Either they're really interested in the course, its something they want to do and are willing to put the effort into it, or they are filling their physical education requirement."
In the classes students learn new things. From new ways of stretching, skill and coordination to flexibility and agility.
Confronting the new computer, Tom Snell learns to use this new drafting class tool. This was the first year the class had access to a computer.
Playing one on one, these students take a break from gym. Basketball was also popular during lunch.
Checking under the hood, these two auto mechanics go after the problem. Elective classes, though thought to be, are not easy classes.

Sports-studies mix
"Study Hall" proves successful
In the 1983 wrestling season a new trend was started for Mr. Thomas Christie's wrestlers. He started what he called "A study hall". His "study hall" consisted of his wrestlers studying in an organized environment e.ither on Wednesday or for two hours before a meet.
"My Sociology background played a big part in my decision to start my study hall," said Coach Christie. "I feel that coaches are very influential people, and my wrestlers listen to me. Maybe more than a normal teacher."
Mr. Christie said he felt that "Athletics and education are not in tune," meaning more stress should be on education rather than sports. He saw his wrestlers not studying because of sports.
"When you've got a meet at 5:00," he said, "You don't do your homework before the meet, and the meet getting over at 10:00, the
wrestlers were too tired to do homework."
Coach Christie has seen good improvement in his wrestlers. "They have time to do their homework so they do better in class," he said, "They know they have to pass the class to be eligible for wrestling, so they become more attentive because they do better."
Kelly Miller, a junior wrestler, also sees the improvement. "It feels like an accomplishment having your homework done before the meet. Then during the meet, you feel no pressure, you wrestle better, and when you get home, sleep better," he said.
Mr. Christie feels he has really done a good thing. He said he is trying to bring academics and sports closer together, and this is just one idea to accomplish that goal. He feels that better students make better wrestlers, especially if they decide to go on to college.
Away from their studies, Lincoln High students Shelly Loos, Devon Schumacher and Gregg Peterson enjoy another Lincoln High victory. The Links went on to a 6-3 season.

A once in a lifetime opportunity
In the summer of 1984, Americans were treated to a very special event. The summer Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles, California and some Lincoln High students, as well as faculty were fortunate enough to be able to attend.
Mike Thompson, a junior, said his family was visiting friends and relatives in San Diego. "My friends decided to call and get some tickets. We saw the USA-Spain and Egypt-Australia basketball games. We got to see some of the wrestling, we even had front row seats for some of the track events. We saw Edwin Moses win the 200 meter hurdles, and CarLLewis in the long jump."
Matt Hoffman, a senior, saw the Olympics from a different point of view. "My uncle sells T-shirts in California, so I was helping him sell at the Olympics. The only event I saw was the wheelchair races. I didn't think they could move that fast."
Faculty-wise, Cross Country coach, Bob White, attended the Olympics. "We were on a vacation visiting my parents and decided to go because this was a once-in-alifetime opportunity. The only events we saw were track." Mr. White had a special relationship with the Olympics: His father was an official at some of the track events. Mr. White felt that the Olympics went
well except for all the people. "There were so many people running around, it was awfully cramped. The fashions were strange, but the colors of the fashions were beautiful. All of Los Angeles was beautiful for the Games."
•
Mike agreed with Mr. White saying, "The fashions were really weird, people were really wearing some weird stuff compared to the Americans."
Matt said he even had an experience personally with an athlete. "A British athlete came in to my uncle's store looking for a USA t-shirt. That's all he wanted, was a USA t-shirt. There really weren't any problems with athletes, though."
All of these guys felt it was an experience they would never forget. Mike said it was much better seeing it in person rather than in the living room watching it on the television. Matt was really glad he had the experience as he got to spend time with some relatives, see some of the sights of Los Angeles and the rest of California, plus take in a little of the Olympic games. Mr. White seemed to sum it all up by reflecting on the trip saying that for most, "the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles were a spectacular event! This was a once-in-a lifetime event."
Preparing to start, the bikers take their warm-up lap. There were many different kinds of biking events at the games.
Football I-Formation works better
Changes don't live up to bad expectations
Lincoln High football took on a new look this year. First, they continued the old winning tradition going to ·a 6-3 record and second, for the first year, Lincoln High ran out of the I-formation, the same basic offense as the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Varsity Coach Harold Simpson said there were some basic reasons they went to the I-formation, "Because we felt we had the right people for the right positions, and we weren't getting enough out of them in the veer."
Coach Simpson and the other football coaches spent some time with the Cornhusker coaches studying the I-formation and how it would work for Lincoln High. While looking at the I, Coach Simpson heard of some disadvantages the formation could bring to a team. One of these was that because the I-back is seven yards off the line of scrimage, the linemen would have to hold their blocks that much longer. This turned out not to be so.
"With the I, our linemen only had four • rules that stayed the same no matter wha( Simpson said, "In the veer we were having to make decisions on the line of scrimage. It turned out a lot better.
"The biggest thing we had to teach was technique," Coach Simpson said. "We did have one thing different. Nebraska runs out of the same 'set' every time. We decided to switch every once in awhile so the opposing team did not know exactly what were were going to do. So the
linemen were taught to block the same way every time, none of the changing at the line of scrim\m'.age like before."
Coach Simpson also found that the blockers only had to open a crease for the I-back to get through. The I-back, Cordell Simms, agreed with Coach Simpson and added his views of the I. "It gave me a lot more options as to where to go. I was able to read my blocks a lot better. Where in the veer offense, I had a play to run and I had to run it there almost no matter what."
Coach Simpson said he felt that the only way to have a good, winning football team, was to have a good running game. "We didn't have the speed to get outside."
Simpson said, "but after using the I for awhile, we found it did not take much for the lineman to open that little hole for the back to squeeze through.,,
Of course a good offense does not make the entire team. There also has to be some defense. Eric Smith, a junior on the defense, will be back again next year. "I think we will improve a lot next year. We've got a lot of people moving," Eric said," And we should have lot of speed and strength to help with our pass rush."
The Sophomores and Reserves went to the I-formation also. The sophomores ended with a 2-6 record, while the reserves went on to a 4-4 record. As coach Simpson said, "They were very close to going 6-2 and winning the city championship."
After the play. the Links' defense gets the call from the sideline. The defense stayed the same this year, the 4-4 defense.

Volleyball "State" included in goals
HVolleyball season mixed
igh hopes, courage, and a great team effort was what it took for volleyball this season. Coach Lana Peterson said, "We started out very strong, and we had a lot of goals to accomplish."
Some of those goals were to be top rated in State, to win the Lincoln Public Schools Invitational, to win Districts, and go to State. Out of those only one wasn't accomplished. The team ended the season rated third in the state : They fell one game short of their goal.
The most important goal for Volleyball this season was to win State. The girls talked about it all season long. Coach Peterson said, "We really anticipated going to State. I'm glad we got to participate, it was a good experience and I wanted the girls to succeed."
Although the team made it to the quarter finals at State, it was not their best game.
Coach Peterson said, "I feel that the girls were really worked-up at State, wanting to play for the fans, the school and themselves. They were overwhelmed by the turnout of the school. We had some outstanding support. The problem was that they just overplayed themselves."
Despite a bit of disappointment, the team had some outstanding players. Each player on the team had her own specialities and was valuable in her own way.
One such player was Susie Hansen. She was one of the top three in many categories. Susie was a good blocker and had many school records this season
T earn-wise, Jennifer Maxon was their

leader, while Tammy Waterman and Angie Parsons were good all-around players. Coach Peters.on said, "Tammy had some of her best games at State."
Coach Peterson was pleased with State, "It went okay and everyone was glad they got to participate, but we were not satisfied."
The team relied on each player for their speciality. "We had a good program depending on each player. Most coaches don't have enough people like that to rely on."

Gymnastics Team shows its stuff
Gymnastics team captures many titles
Despite the many injuries, the gymnastics team, went on to an excellent season. Coach Mark Shearer said, "We had an excellent season considering the hand, back, and knee injuries all season long."
Although they had many injuries, and tough competition, the team didn't let that bother them. They captured title after title, including City Championships, Trans-Nebraska, their first District title, and first in the State.
Coach Shearer explained, "We had a very good season. Everyone was able to do the job they had to do and come out ahead. The team worked close together and had a good team effort. There was a certain chemistry between everyone."
Lots of good effort came from Darrel Watermeier. Darrel qualified all-around for Districts and State. At State, Darrel won seven medals out of seven events. He won a gold medal for all-around and vault. He
also had the highest score of 9.7 on the vault at State.
Another qualifier at State was a freshman on the team. Daryl Lindholm attended Everett Junior High, and was the second leading all-arounder. He qualified to State on pommel horse, rings, and high bar.
Girls' gymnastics team had a very good season also. Coach Shearer said, "They showed an improvement, and should be stronger next ye~r despite the loss of two seniors."
The team went into the State finals in third place and came out number one. Coach Shearer said, "They had a chance at State and everyone worked very hard toward that common goal. It really paid off for the entire team, they had a lot going for them, and they made it work."
The gymnastics team ended their season in the number one spot, with a record of the boys' team 5-1, and the girls' team of 3-4.
Enjoying the thrill of victory, team members have pride. Darrel Watermeier displays their well earned trophy

Cross Country Runners Meet High Goals
Individuals and teams end successfully.
"The toughest part of running is mental, not physical."
·
Those are the words of coach Bob White , whose girls team placed 2nd in this years State Meet and whose boys team fell points short of qualifying.
"This was the best boys team we've had since '63," White said, "and our girls team was the best ever!"
Both teams proved to be mentally tough as well as physically strong. While covering nearly 650 miles of country the runners weren't affected by factors which could have caused mental breakdowns: , a new course at Pioneers Park, two-a-day practices during the heat of August, snow at the State Meet, and sprained ankles.
T earn goals were set high this year. The main goal for the girls team was to be in the top 5 at state. They even went past this goal to finish second. According to White, the success of the girls team was due to
their spirit-they had an exceptional desire to win. The boys' goal was to stay in the top half of each meet.
,ndividual goals varied.
"To be the best I could be," senior Sara Korte said, "and to make it to the State Meet."
For senior ; and newcomer,Denise Claridge, the goals set were different.
• "My goal was to finish the season. It was a challenge," she said.
For some, Gr/qss Country was a way to prepare for other sports.
"My goal was to contribute to the team as much as I could," senior Albert Maxey said, "And it was a way to build endurance and keep in shape for basketball."
Both teams were young this season, but if things go as well as they look on paper, the Links Cross Country teams will be even ~tronger next year Cross Country-163
Boys' Tennis
T earn keeps good attitude
Strength and experience will help team
What do eight sophomores, one junior, and one auto-shop teacher make? Give up? Well, that's the Lincolr High boys tennis team.
Even though the team didn't win a wholE lot of matches, Coach Dennis Weixelmar comments, "I think they have real gooc potential."
Dan Schafer enthusiastically added : "We'll play better next year since we'n such a young team. I'm looking forward tc the next season.»
Brian Schmidt felt similar, "By the time we're seniors we'll get better and bring a name to the Lincoln High tennis team.»
This was the year for the team to play tennis on a more competitive level, since a majority of the players have never played competitive tennis before. "It was a time to get a feel of things," as Jeff Omberger put it.
And practice really did help the team "get a feel of things." Generally there was an outstanding attitude among the players.
Prac•icing his forehand, Lincoln Blackman prepares his game for the next meet. Lincoln had a good season, being no. 1 seed.
Coach Weixelman said they accomplishec a lot during practice. "We had a real gooc season practice-wise .I feel you should gc full speed in practice for as long as you car go and the kids really came a Ion~ way they hit the ball a lot better toward~ the end of the season.,,
Practice consisted mainly of hitting : drills, and match play. Coach Weixelmar organized some good practices, "He wa~ really patient with us," Lincoln Blackman said.
But, equally as important, the team go1 to know one another better, which helpec them work more as a team. For Jeff Yos( the one junior on the team, the highlight o1 the season was "getting to know ne\Ai people and making friends." Lincoln continued, "We got to be close."
Getting along with one's teammates is an important factor in team sports, in-eluding good sportsmanship. Lincoln explained, "Even though we lost, we still had a good attitude."
Following through, Jeff Yost finishes his backhand. Jeff was one of the only Junior members this year.
Enjoying his serve, Russ Wittstruck practices for his next match. Russ was a sophomore on the team.
Clowning around, Jeff Yost plays for the camera. A lot like their season, the Links concentrated on having fun and preparing for next year.

Posing with upperclassmen
Winter feature
New freshmen play major role
Swimming, Cross Country, Gymnastics see benefits
Achange was made this year that greatly affected sports teams here at Lincoln High School. The 1984-1985 season was the first season that freshman athletes were allowed to participate in high school athletics.
Two of these freshmen participated on the swim team. Jodi Wanek and Charlie Hammer both were ninth graders of Goodrich Jr. High School.
Jodi said she went out for Lincoln High Swimming to better the image of Goodrich. "It would be good for our school," she said, "It could give other students something to base their goals on. ,, 166-Winter Feature
Jodi, who swam the 100 Butterfly and the 100 Backstroke said at first she was afraid the older swimmers wouldn't like her because she was a freshman. "As they got to know me, they treated me real well," she said.
Charlie said he went out because he needed a change from swimming for Nebraska Aquatics. Charlie was basically a freestyle swimmer, swimming the 200 free and 500 free.
Charlie said he was also scared at first about being treated bad. "I was never able to shake that feeling of being a freshman," he said, "But by the end of the season I _
think most of my teammates liked me. He also said his coach treated hirri just like another swimmer. "He always made sure I had a ride," Charlie said.
Heidi Tussing, another freshman, ran cross country in the fall. She said she ran because there was more competition in high school. She felt she was treated like a high school team member.
This was the season that opened the door for the freshmen. Charlie and Jodi both qualified for the ·State swim meet, while Heidi helped the Lincoln High girls Cross Country team to a State Runner-up title.

Varsity Basketball Winning was team effort
Varsity sees good times
Steve Wise, a senior, said that the Boys Varsity Basketball team's finest moment this year was that the team made it to the district finals.
He also said that everyone on the team helped to take them there.
"Everybody really contributes, but in different ways," said Wise. "But, at the beginning of the year there used to be a lot of arguing."
Todd Rychecky, a junior, agreed that earlier in the year there was some tension between the team members. But some people did contribute to keeping the team together. "I'd like to congratulate Aldie Johnson, the team's coach, on keeping a team together that could have easily fallen apart," he said.
Rychecky also said that senior Albert Maxey deserved some credit for keeping the team a team, "He's (Maxey) a team leader," he said. "He's always got everything under control."
Both players said that one of the best parts of playing on the team was just playing basketball, "Playing in the games, it's just fun playing," Wise said.
But it was not all just fun and games they said. Practices took a lot of work, and there were a lot of practices. "You have your off days," said Rychecky, "in practices, and in games."
The members of the Girls Varsity Basketball team certainly knew how practices and games could go.
The girls team won the Holiday Tourney, District A-1 Tourmanent, and were Runners-Up in the State Tournament. They only saw defeat three times this year.
Tracy Lightbody, a senior, said that their first loss, against Southeast, was awakening.
"It made us realize that we could be defeated," said Lightbody. "but it made us work harder."
Lisa Hunter, a senior, agreed with Lightbody that their win over Central in the State Finals was the highlight of the season.
She also said that their loss to Omaha Marian in the final game was the biggest disappointment. "We knew they had something uncontrollable," said Hunter, "like 6'3H Jeanine Kardell."
One thing the Girls team could say was that they didn't rely on any one player, said Lightbody. "Everybody on our team has started (a game)," she said "There's no one person that we rely on."
Hunter said that was true, the team was a 'team' effort.
Both Hunter and Lightbody had similar reasons for being on the team. Hunter said she enjoyed recieving all the attention and publicity. She did say that she would also miss the relationships when she doesn't return to high school next year.
"I'll miss playing basketball, or just going to high school," she said. "But mostly the relationships, because I get along with everybody, so far so good."
Lightbody said that she will also miss not being on the team next year. "I'm going to miss being part of a team because there was kind of a unity between the team," she said. "There's really not a next year to look forward to."

Reserve Basketball Scores tell reserve story
A chance to learn, experience
This year Reserve Basketball was a good as well as fun year for all.
Overall both the girls and boys teams did well.
"The boys had probably the best record, excluding 1977, in the last 30 years," according to the Boys Reserve Basketball coach Mr. Zuspan. The team record was 11-4.
On the other side of the court, the Girls Reserve Basketball team played better than the record revealed.
"We'd outscore our opponents by a large margin when we'd win and when we lost, it was usually by only one or two points," according to the girls team coach Deb VanDusen, 'Tm happy with the season although I felt we could have done better and won some of the closer games."
Zuspan acclaimed much of the boys teams success to practicing with the Varsity
team every night.
"I think this year, the togetherness, the comradeship, that developed with the players helped them to be successful. I know I enjoyed working with them, they worked hard We accomplished every goal we set except for probably the city championship."
Reserve Basketball gave many people the chance to play basketball whether it was in preparation for the varsity team or just to have fun and enjoy the spirit of being involved in sports.
As coach VanDusen expressed, "To have a good varsity team you need to have a good reserve team."
Both Margarite Scott and John McWilliams, juniors, agree, there were a lot of good players this year who will prdbably make the Varsity teams next year, and continue the trend of success

Sophomore Basketball
Hard work pays for teams
Sophomores combine determination
"We came a long way from our first practice to the end of the season," commented Sophomore Girls' Basketball Coach Alex Czeranko And that's just what they did.
Coming into Lincoln High School from various junior highs and the different coaches was quite a different experience for these girls. Each junior high had its own program and method of teaching the game. Coach Czeranko wanted to get the girls together and teach them the game of basketball. His goal was to blend all the techniques together and put the team on its way to a good season Another goal was to "Get them all together, working as a t eam ." The girls came to a realization that they can do anything they set out to do. " They needed to be positive about themselves and the game and that's what they did," said Coach Czeranko.
When asked how he felt about teaching the girls, coach Czeranko commented, "I enjoyed teaching the girls and watching them work together as a team. It was really self-satisfying, to help them grow and learn, physically as well as mentally."
Their season was pretty successful. They had a 5-3 record in the city and went on to take the City Sophomore Championship. The reason? "They had confidence on their side and were self-assured that they could make it happen."
The boys didn't have as successful a season as the paper saw it, but as far as working hard, having a good time, and never giving up hope, the boys basketball team had a great season. Coach Muggy added, "There was talent, the boys made new friends, were very disciplined and were very successful."

Swim team met goals
It was a good year for swimmers
'G
ood, excellent, we improved our winning record," was how Gene Cotter, swimming coach, described their season.
"It was a fun season, we accomplished our goals," Cotter said. "We had some disappointments, we learned how to deal with them, that's what sports are for."
He said that they kept their goals realistic, and they broke some school records, such as the 400 free relay at the State meet.
Cotter said that swimming was an "individual" and "non-spectator sport." Not many people come to a swim meet because it's sort of hard to be involved in as spectators.
Boys' Swimming, (front row) D. Hager, C. Wing,
G. Hutchenson, M. Block, T. Harris (back row) Asst. Coach Weires, E. Harring, M. Ferrell, G. Cox, Coach Cotter.
Senior Chris Wing said that a swimmer is pretty isolated during a race. A swimmer has to do a lot of concentrating. "If I don't concentrate on my technique, I fantasize about being Super-Man," he said.
Wing said that the highlight of the season was their win over Millard South. That was their first meet of the year and one of the Millard South swimmers was a previous state champion.
Scott Steele, a junior, said that the team did get along pretty well with each other. He also said that he wished there was some more support for swimming.
Wing said that he, like the rest of the team, was glad the team did well. But, he did have another, more personal goal: "To have the sexiest swim suit on the team."

Wrestling
The record speaks for itself Hard practice plus good technique aid also
"Things were just falling in the right place."
The words of junior Pat Perez, who took first at state, about this years wrestling team, which was third at state.
The team had a great year, in fact the second best wrestling team score-wise in the history of Lincoln High according to Perez. A lot of the team's success was due to the good coaching and hard practice.
"We had two outstanding coaches, Mr. Thomas Christie and Bill Selman," said Perez, "Selman wrestled for UNL so he taught us some of the newer moves."
"We practiced them hard," said coach Christie, "and three days a week we met in my room to study."
Christie felt education must come first. "I'm a teacher before I'm a coach so
that's my first priority, making sure kids have a good education. ·
Perez said he felt the study sessions helped the team to feel more like a a family, more unified, and in turn helped the team to be more successful.
But practice was very hard and also had much to do with the teams success.
"We lived and died practice and conditioning," replied Perez, "We did a lot of running and worked more on technique this year. We were in the best shape in state."
Coach Christie said he looked forward to the team maybe doing even better at state next year, "I think they have even more potential in them and can try to do even better, I know they have it in them."

Ads support LINKS
Business reasons vary
Each year, to support the annual LINKS, the LINKS staff offers Lincoln businesses the opportunity to advertise in the Lincoln High Yearbook. Under the direction of the business manager, the staff sells portions of pages during the summer. Once the school year starts, the business manager then sells the remaining advertisements.
Each of these businesses have their own personal reasons for advertising in the LINKS.
Mildred Dickson, from Community Saving Stamps, thinks that the reason they advertise is tradition, "We've always advertised in the past, and we see no reason to stop now."
She went on to say that people may not have heard of Community Savings Stamps before and it's a little name recognition. •
Ron Anderson, from the Lincoln School of Commerce, sees advertising from more of a business point of view.
"We are a post-secondary institution, and advertising helps people recognize us when admission representatives go to schools around town and throughout the state. The students are able to see our name in print so when these representatives are at that particular school, they say 'I've heard that name before."
Mrs. Kaufman, from Kaufman's Furniture, said they advertise because both her and her husband are graduates from Lincoln High, so they are a bit "sentimental" towards Lincoln High activities. Mrs. Kaufman went on to say that she also felt that they got a bit of name recognition when parents looked through their child's yearbook.
The LINKS wishes to thank all of the businesses that choose to advertise with us this year, whatever their reasons.
In The Ads Section:
In The Advertising Section, the Advertisers are not categorized into any specific order .. Some businesses chose to be on specific pages, others simply decide on portions of pages. These ads help make The LINKS the lowest priced yearbook in the state.
For the musically inclined, Dietze music bouse, 1208 0, can be a major supplier. Dietze specializes in many kinds of equipment, instruments, etc.
Being a favorite among some Lincoln High students, Coke is common at most lunchtimes. The Coca-Cola Co. is located at 643 S 25.
Bowling for fun, students can go to Classic Lanes for some nighttime/daytime fun. Classic Lanes is at 4901 N 57.

The 1100 copies of the 1985 LINKS, Full of Life, were printed on 80 pound enamel paper and published by Walsworth Publishing Company of Marceline, Missouri. The price of the books began at $13 and went up to $18 by the end of the year.
The cover, designed by the staff, features an enlargement of an actual heartbeat and hand lettering.
The type used throughout the book was a variation of Souvenir Medium and Bold. Headlines were set in 24 and 30 point Souvenir and Bold. Kickers were set in 18 point Souvenir Bold. Body copy was set in 10, 11, and 12 point Souvenir Medium, and captions were set in 9 point Souvenir Medium and Bold. Page numbers were 11 point
Souvenir Medium. The typesetting was done by PSAB and Tyler Type Service.

Opening, Closing, and division pages used a two column design, while Student Life, People, Organizations, and Sports all used a three column design. Academics used a four column design. The color of the heartbeat and first letter of each division page was in Cherry Red.
The LINKS is a member of the Nebraska High School Press Association, the N ational Scholastic Press Association, the Colum. bia Scholastic Press Association, and Quill and Scroll.

Triumphs sparkle
Disappointments of year shall dim
"As I look back on this year, it's kind of been a mix of triumphs and, in some cases, tragedies."
These are the words of Mis s Judith Roderick, a social studies teacher at Lincoln High. Miss Roderick was asked for her reflections on what happened in the news during the 1984-85 school year.
The 1984 Presidential election was inspiring-Geraldine Ferraro was the first woman in history to run for Vice -President of the United States. But the disappointment came when only 52 percent of the registered vo t ers actually went to the polls.
Another event Miss Roderick found to be triumphant was the Summer Olympics. She believed that it may have been good that the Soviet Union didn't participate-it gave the U.S. a chance to be very patriotic. Miss Roderick said that, as she watched on television, t he crowds' reaction to the nation was inspiring.
The hunger situation in Africa was another big issue for the year. Miss Roderick noted that a major part of Africa's population could be lost to hunger. It's good that there was concern enough to try to help.
"This is a stressful time in which to live," Miss Roderick notes, but she feels thankful that she lives in this society. Because, though the United States has its problems, "it's still the best of all societies."
New wing planned
Image should get better and better
Buildings can do one thing that birds can't-"grow" new wings. Lincoln General Hospital, Southeast High School and Bryan Memorial Hospital all grew a new wing in the past year. Next year, it's Lincoln High's turn.
After working under poor conditions for years, the industrial arts department will finally get the extra room and better facilities it needs.
"I feel almost guilty about my working conditions," Mr. Thomas Christie said. Mr. Christie was comparing his room in the social studies department to those of the industrial arts.
The extra space will be well-used because, though re-districting was supposed to lower enrollment, the initial enrollment totals at least 100 more students for the '85-'86 school year.
Mr. Dick Patterson saw this increased enrollment as a direct link to the "increasing positive image with the community." Mr. Patterson, a LHS counselor, attributed this growing positive image to the gains that each department had made throughout this year, and each small gain adds up to a big gain for the school.
Mr. Christie saw these "significant moves toward excellence in the classroom" and hoped that this would not be lost with the longer school day and more rigorous program that faces the students and teachers next year.
Lincoln High-this year its been proven that Lincoln High is still "a good place to be."
Lincoln High's change, the new wing will take the place of the teacher's lot. The construction will take approximately eight months.
The School - Lincoln High is a different place than what it was in September, 1984. The image of a school full of hoodlums has fallen away-Lincoln High is an academic school. But, it wasn't just an acade-mic shcool. Athletics, arts and forensics flourished inside the ever changing, supporting walls of Lincoln High.

The faces of the school say it all-There were -happy moments, sorrowful ones and times for reflection. But, these faces also showed that the students of Lincoln High are Full of Life.

After touching many lives, LINKS dedicated to Victor
Victor Day was a very special person. He could brighten a whole day. He kept everyone on our staff laughing, and when he died, crying. The lives he touched were just that much more special.
Victor was special to a lot of people. Besides being a writer on the LINKS staff, he was a member of French club, Mummers, and the Nebraska Council of Youth. He also wrote poetry, one of which is presented in cooperation with his family.
Victor was planning to be the editor of the 1985-86 LINKS. Before his death, he was developing ideas for this book, as well as next year's. Because of this, we, the LINKS staff of 1985, would like to dedicate this book to Victor Day Jr., a very unique person.
