LHS Leads with Diversity
At first glance, Lincoln High is -a typical high school: full parking lots, students at lockers and roaming the hallways, teachers in classrooms and the ringing of the bell. But is that all that is to be found? No, there is more. Take a closer look. Even closer. Some things do not stand out and say "Here I am!" Look beneath the surface and be convinced Lincoln High is the place to be. .
This school year started out unusually. Classes were shortened due to the hot weather, even though the building is air conditioned. A line spread from the counseling center past the main office, filled with students who had schedule problems. Hallways were being trimmed in the school colors--red and black. It seemed as if the painters were always finding something to splash colors on. With the new ruling on open schools, Lincoln High had a record 745 students in the sophomore class.
Often student-s were found in the hallways-not only between classes, but during classes. Many classes were held in the hallways during the first few weeks because there weren't enough classrooms available. Teachers were moved to the PSAB t.o even out the overflow problem.
Applied economics classes were busy selling products like Safe Sox and Linkables. And how many high schools in Lincol n can say they had a male cheerleader? Just one-Lincoln High.
"The History of Lincoln High Football" book was sold during the year by DECA. The book recounted the history ofa hundred years of football (1889-1990). For Homecoming, the titles of "King" and "Queen" were changed to "Mr." and "Ms.", breaking long-standing tradition. The varsity football team made it to the playoffs for the first time in the 16-year history of the State Playoffs. Taking the title of State Champions for the second year in a row was the boys' cross country team.
Club members were often found selling items such as Blow Pops and M&M 's. A home economics class put together the Linky Din ks Diner, which served staff or students food items the class had prepared. The age of computers had definitely hit, proven by the l l computer labs found around school.
Lincoln High had many things to offer: ~n student life, in fine arts, in sports, in clubs and in the classroom. Not everything was noticeable from the outside, so when taking a closer look, some new and exciting things were discovered. This year at Lincoln H1gh School. there was definitely More Than Meets The Eye.

Homecoming
Opinions differed but all went well
The excitement over Homecoming 1990 began when the football team took to the field against Omaha North . Sophomore Adam Skoda was pleased with the game
"We played well as a team," Skoda said . "We played hard, and we didn't hang our heads when bad things happened " He felt the team looked confident.
"We all wanted a victory on Homecoming," said Skoda.
Victory was theirs. Pat Westlund's touchdown in the last minutes of the game led the Links to a 14- 7 victory
The Homecoming dance. featuring the band Street Legal, followed the game Some people enjoyed the music. but others wanted more variety Sophomore Margaret Drdla commented on the dance
"I likedthedance ," she said. " It was pretty good " Drdla said a D J. would have offered more variety
Junior Len Weyeneth said he did not really like the dance .
"The band should have played more slow songs, but it was okay ," Weyeneth said.
Students also attended the presentation of the Distinguished Alumni.
Much more is involved in preparing for the Distinguished Alumni than many people realize Making phone calls. sending out invitations, and getting plaques made are just a few of the requirements
needed to prepare this event.
According to administrative assistant Deb McKinney, names are submitted to the office by the staff and others, and the names are kept on file for future reference
"We start in April or May and through the summer to· get ready for the day that the Distinguished Alumni arrive," she said.
Student Council spent Homecoming day preparing for the dance. working on the decorations and setting up from the time school ended until the beginning of the dance.
"We blew up balloons. got readyforthe band and bought ice right before hand," said Student Council President Kelita Svoboda
Homecoming royalty was changed this year from King and Queen to Mr and Ms Lincoln High
Mr and Ms Lincoln High were Jay Pitts and Jody Britten. Pitts did not really think thdt he was going to be chosen, but he had and idea.
" I would walk through the halls and people would tell me that they had voted for me , " he said Britten thought it was neat to be chosen

Fit for fashion
Students display individual styles
People ore labeled in many ways, but appearance is probably one of the quickest ways to judge someone. Many students think what they wear reflects their personality. Though tads change over the years, tor some tads changed more during junior high and tor others during high school. Usually when people found styles they liked, they kept them for a while.
Junior Cloy Lewis said he would never wear anything with Bart Simpson on it because Bart became popular so fast, and now he's trendy.
Junior Jan Harp would never wear blue eyeshadow because it's not her style, and it's not natural-looking. However, she said she could live in her overalls tor the rest of her lite .
"They're my favorite," she said.
Sophomore Josh Grenier said his favorite clothes were his brown sweater and his jeans. Grenier said he hated anything by British Knights.
Senior Kerstin Deppe liked to look "outdoorsy" and relaxed. Her favorite piece of clothing was her burgundy corduroy shirt.
"Everyone's trying to be on individual," said Deppe. Senior Conoley Ospovat 's favorite clothes were his Joy Division T-Shirt and jeans. He, too, would never wear British Knights, and he said he thought Oakley· s were "trendy."
Senior Ryan Foster said that he liked to wear jeans, a T-shirt and a hat. Foster thought that black tennis shoes were trendy, especially Nikes, although he wore black Nikes . • Foster also hated when people wore fake Z. Cavarichis.
Sophomore Mike Krumm said his favorite cl0thes were jeans, a leather jacket, a sweatshirt and a hat. Krumm hated to see any clothes that looked as if they were from the Brady Bunch--pro wing shoes and Wrangler jeans
"Body Glove clothes are kind of trendy," said Krumm . Krumm also said he thought that white socks, rolling jeans, black shoes and Oakley's were among the trendiest things around this year
All agreed that comfort was the most important part of clothing.

Movies of all kinds
Animation
hits big in the 90's
First there was "Batman," then came "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," then "Dick Tracy." All were huge successes. The public has recently been fascinated with cartoons brought to live action, but what about animated movies themselves?
The movies put out by Disney and Don Bluth studios mode more money during their first showings than ever before.
Though 86 percent of students polled in October listed "Pretty Woman" and "Ghost* as their top hits of 1990, 58 percent of the students included "Fantasia* and "The Little Mermaid" as their favorites. What hos made them so much more successful than before?
"They toke people out of reality," said junior Scott Tooley. Animated movies hove been doing that for more than 50 years.
"There is better sound and music than 20 years ago," said sophomore Troy Shramek . The technology used in making soundtracks for movies hos definitely advanced over the post few years.
Stories had more action and adventure than before, said
junior Jeff Barnes.
"They all have happy endings," said sophomore Melissa Tubbs .
A theory, according to junior Josh Deshon, is that the public is getting tired of the same types of movies coming out again and again (i.e. police movies, Vietnam War movies) and wonts to see something different.
Although some enjoyed the movies, there also were movies people couldn't wait to get rid of.
Senior Stacey Schultz had a problem with "TheJetsons," on animated film about a wacky space family first seen on Saturday morning cartoons.
"It was boring and dumb. Comics are supposed to be funny, not stupid," she said . Another movie that received more than a few "two thumbs down'' was "Joe Versus the Volcano.,, "It was very unbelievable. How many people jump into a volcano and crawl out alive?" asked senior Angie Richardson •

Student Bands Display Talent Music To Your Ears
White some students viewed the music Industry from their favorite music store or celebrity magazine, other students were Involved In their own bands.
Junior Brian Wells was part of Def Troops, which started three years ago when they won a Just Say No Club Rap Contest. Wells said the group gets along well and enjoys what they are doing.
"Sure, I personally hope that the group stays together. Who knows? Maybe we will be, big," he said.
Junior Angela Lee was part of Glrlz Posse. They started as a drill team at the Malone center.
"We loved to dance. so we couldn't just quit," said Lee. The group was experienced. by having performed at M.R. Ducks, The Union, Gunnies, and In Omaha.
Unity Is a group of vocalists who perform R&B and Gospel.Unity member Jamie Mowbray, junior explained how Unity started.
"We have been friends since third grade. This year we just
started messing around and decided to try out for Joynlte." said Mowbray.
Other members of Unity Include Deah Harriot and Trenesa Thompson. They had been asked to perform for other school activities, but Joynlte was their biggest performance this year. They were asked to record, ·although they were not sure If they would or not.
"Were serious, but It's also fun. I really like It," said Mowbray.
Senior Matt Dooley played guitar for Gravy Fingers, a group named when they were working at Kentucky Fried Chicken.
"We played 'fast' music, and everything we played we wrote ourselves," Dooley said.
Gravy Fingers mostly played at parties this year. but they hoped to do more In the future. A friend helped them to make a tape this year.

'The Birds' soars -to success
"The Birds"' was chosen asthrs year's fall play because it was different from those students have performed in recent years, said drama teacher Joe Kreizinger .
"I thought this would be o good year to do a comeciy and involve a lot of people. 1 thought that it would be a challenge. and we had a good group," ~reizinger sotd.
Th.e 35-member cast , performed a modem interpretation of Aristophanes's comedy Nov. 1-3.
The play, which dates from the 5th century B. C., chronicles th·e story of two humans who leave Athens to escape Boredom, bureaucracy, and debts in the world of humans.
"lt's about how they go about defeating the foolish people on Earth and then th~ gods. They build a society among the birds for themselves,"' said Kretzinger. "It ridicules the bureaucracy · on 'Earth and the bureaucracies of the bird kingdom once it developed. ft c:Jlso discusses the human quality of always wanting to better oneself."
The play was '"spontane ously spectacular," according to junior Kjerstin Bowman, who played the queen of the birds.
The best part of this year's
production was '\its unusuality, • said Bowman. Krelzlnger agreed.
"This is a play that is not often done,"' he said. Although the cost enjoyed it .the production was a great deal of work, said senior Duane Harriot.
"It was much more invotved than au the other plays," said Harriot, who pfayedthegod'Prometheus.
Kreizinger emphasized achievement of an overall understanding of the style and story of. fhe production by the cost. "(We needed) everyone to understand the style so that we could be consistent, and for all the actors to come together to understand the style that we were trying to get across, being somewhat traditional Greek," he said.
The production included a modern version of a ctassical Greek chorus, Chorus members portrayed the subjects of the bird kinQdom Kreizinger said the chprus was a crucial part of the play. and the nature of choral work demanded hard work · and precision on the part of the actors.

A Dark and Stormy Joynite The Witching Hours
Strange things were afoot on the stage tt7le eves of Jan. 23-241 Ghosts ond ghoulies and people in surfer clothes lurked abouLeerie melodies ~afted throµgh the ,night air Saturday Night Live characters we thought were tong dead were reborn to scoff at other high schools. What evil lurks in the hearts of Lincoln High students In the witching hours of Joynite'?
This year's them~, ··A Dark and Stormy Joynite ·, was carried out bythe five masters of ceremony, who ployed stu-oents enrolffng at Lincoln High and ghosts attempting to score them away. By trying to send them to other tligh schools, vartous~tereotypesof the city's high schools were examined and mode light of.
"Trying to steer them away from Lincoln High was to show all the good aspects of Lincoln High that other schools don't have, and why we wouldn't go to any other school," explained Junior Joel Kunkel, who was one of th e masters of ceremony.
The 76th annual Joynite dis.:
played, as always, the diverse range of talents at Lincoln High. Musical acts included established school groups such as Swing Choir, Mixed and Girls' Choruses, the Mad- • rigol Singers, Soundsation, and Varsity Jazz Bong, and individuals and ensembles by Kerstin Deppe, Gyrlz Posse Ill. Unity, Andy Pappas, and Speechless. Theatric cf routines included Mummers' version of daytime soaps, a superhero skit by Jugglers, Etc., and a skit by Peerhelping. Dance numbers included a Broadway routine performed by the cheerleoding squads and o Beach Boys number by the Pomolinks, and o mock ballet performed by seniors Angela Roubidoux and Rod B.eerv ..The skits were for the most port the creations of Lincoln High students.
Many Joynit,e' traditions continued, including Madrigals' traditional 1 "Both room Song,·

AT FIRST GLANCE
Rewinding The Year
The 1990-91 school year was hard to sum up in 600 words. Some things would be looked back upon as stupid, some would be looked upon as innovative, some would be looked on as good, some would be looked up as bad.
The situation in the Persian Gulf seemed foremost in e;eryone's m~nd. On August 2 Iraq invaded Kuwait, a country many students hadn't even heard of. After five months of attempted diplomacy and troop buildups, the aerial bombardment of Iraq began. On Febuary 23, the U.S.- • lead coalition invaded Iraq and occupied Kuwait. One hundred hours later the war was over. ·
Not all news dealt with the Middle East. Democrat Ben Nelson narrowly defeated republican incumbent Governor Kay Orr. The 2-percent spending lid was soundly defeated. Congress tried to cut the deficit. There was a prediction that many members of Congress would be voted out of of• fice; only one senator was voted out of office, and over 97% of all members of the House of Representatives retained their seats.
Aside from the Middle East, students worried about music censorship. 2 Live Crew was acqui ted for obscenity in Florida for the album "As Nasty as They Wanna Be." Madonna outdid herself with her steamy video "Justify My Love." The heavy metal band Judas Priest won a law suit against parents who claimed their son killed himself because of hidden Satanic lyrics
In sports the Cincinnati Reds swept the heavily favored Oakland A's in the World Series. Buffalo beat the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXV, 2019.
Events at Lincoln High were just as varied.
Senior Josh Davies was the first male cheerleader in decades. Homecoming King and Queen ti ties were changed to Mr. and Ms. to be non-sexist, while changing the title of the school song from "Sons of the Black and Red" to "Links of the Black and Red" was discussed for the same reason.
Three foreign exchange students--Elodie Coulon from France, Danielle Lima from Peru, and Sophie Henkleman from a newly united Germany--added to Lincoln High's diverse student body, which numbered over 2000 students.
The Lincoln High building dealt with its own challenges. The 2000+ students were cramped into limited space The pool was so out of date that it ,. couldn't be used for competition Science labs ;were occasionally held ·in the hall. The former Public School Administration Building was to be ready by January 92' with new science and home economics classrooms to relieve overcrowding Sophomores struggled through the PACT and others through the PSAT . Everyone sweated through two finals weeks.
The Lighthouse was opened to provide teens a place to go to and to hang out.
Senior Shannon Barratt and junior Robyn Weisbrook were chosen to play on an all-star basketball team that toured Mexico.
The Lincoln Theatre opened, combining 1950' s architecture with 1990's technology
2 Live Crew, Saddam Hussein, Madonna, Kay Orr, War in the Gulf, overcrowding, male cheerleaders~ tests, and over 2,000 students packed together like sardines. There you have it: the good, bad and ugly of the 1990- 91 school year.
--Jon Rehm and Todd Smith
Affecting All
A war for our generation to remember began in January with coalition forces' air attacks on strategic targets in Iraq . The official objective of the allies: liberation of Kuwait from the U.N.-comdemned Iraqi occupying force, in control of the tiny, wealthy monarchy since August 2. The effects of the war were felt far and wide, from the Iraqi families mourning loved ones killed in bombing raids on their country to Lincoln High students protesting on either side of the American cause.
With the passitig of the
by Matt Dobbertien. Jan. 15 deadline, coalition forces committed themselves to an air offensive against Iraq. Using surgical attack techniques, strategic targets such as government office buildings which were th~ seat of Hussein's regime, outposts of his Republican Guard, and weapons manufacturing and storage facilities were assaulted from the air intending to cause a minimum of damage to civilians.
The failure of a peace effort from the Soviets prompted President Bush to set a second deadline: the Iraqis must withdraw by midnight February 23 or be evicted from Kuwait by
force. The ground operation began that night and ended 100 hours later with a request for peace from the Iraqis, who then withdrew, but had already done their share of damage: gross human rights abuses, ecological damage, and the abuse of Kuwaiti lands.
Signs declaring "No Blood for Oil" and "Nuke Iraq" were posted on walls and lockers throughout the school and quickly ripped down by those with opposing viewpoints. Citizens marched on the state capitol and the federal building to show both support for and defiance of American war policy.
A support group for LHS students whose family
members and friends were stationed in the gulf was organized and became political in nature: "to support the troops as well as each other," said Michelle Allen, founder of the support group.
Yellow ribbons, tied by members of the group to the marquee and to trees on Lincoln High grounds, sparked opposition to the act on the grounds that the school should remain politically neutral. Some of the ribbons were taken down by people who felt the school should not make such a statement, but were eventually replaced by the support group.

Enlightening
It is easy to mistake Lighthouse for just a big, old, white house on the corner of 17th and "G", but looks can be deceiving.
Founded on June 15, 1990, Lighthouse became a haven for 14 to18 year olds, with about 50 people coming in and out everyday, said Pete Allman, co-founder along with Jim Perry.
The name itself is significant to the goal of the founders.
"What a lighthouse does is it sends out a light and helps people in trouble. We wanted it to signify ·that we are here for people who need help," said Allman.
Funded by private donations, Lighthouse supplied Lincoln's youth with a number of activities, includ-

ing a meeting room which could be used to do homework, talk on the phone, or just to hang out with friends, a pool room, a T.V. and VCR and free-weights.
Lighthouse offered classes such as poetry and art, along with a tutoring program. Support groups, led by volunteers, dealt with such issues as coping with family stress, relationship problems, and teenage suicide, said Allman.
"When you. get people to
go, the support groups can really help," said sophomore Layla Lamborn, who usually went there once or twice a week.
The reasons for going to Lighthouse were varied but whatever the reason might have been, the people who went felt it made a difference in their lives.
"It got me out of the house and it keeps me out of trouble," said senior Juan Castaneda, who went to Lighthouse almost every day.
Lighthouse benefitted sophomore Candice Fryda by helping her to break the communication barriers which many teenagers, have.
"I've met a lot of different types of people, a lot of people I probably wouldn't have associated with and it kind of helped me break the barrier," Fryda said. •
Most people went to Lighthouse to get away from their problems because it offered a place to talk to people who could help, whether it was a counselor, support group, or friends, said sophomore Jeanine Bremers.
"People go to get away from their parents, to get away from home, to get off the streets. Anything is better than that," said Fryda.
The goal of Lighthouse was to fill a need that wasn't being filled in Lincoln, said Allman.
"Everybody gets to know one another and there's community here. Everybody knows what's going on and everybody helps each other. It's a real friendship, a real bonding, that happens here," said Allman.

Crossing Over
Twelve students from Lincoln high schools attended the first meeting of the All-City High School Red Cross Youth club in November, 1990. These students made the first frame of what the club grew to be, according to Betty Meyer, Red Cross youth director.
The group, which soon included 26 members, met monthly at the Red Cross chapter houseJ according to Meyer.
Students chose to join the Red Cross club for many reasons.
"I go to Red Cross because of the achievement I feel when 1 help others, and volunteering is very worthwhile," said junior Tammy Koeppe.
Others went because they enjoyed helping people in the community, which made them feel better about themselves, according to

"You get to meet people from different schools, and you can do a lot of different stuff than in junior high," said Fryda.
The people there are great and fun to be around, according to Bremers. The High School Youth Red Cross club is also a great opportunity for a student who has never been involved with Red Cross to have the experience, said Koeppe.
The group was started by Meyer when she noticed that Southeast was the only high school which had a

Red Cross club. Also more of the youth who had been in the clubs in junior high were interested in continuing their involvement with the Red Cross, said Meyer.
Both Bremers and Fryda said they were told about the club through word of mouth. According to
Koeppe, she heard about the club from Meyer and was sent an informational letter about the club.
0 1 don't think the club can expand by word of mouth. I think we need to advertise it more," said Koeppe.
The club was also interested in trying to bring together students from all of the Lincoln high schools.
"We need to get to know people a little and unite the schools more," said Koeppe.
The club's purpose was to teach leadership skills and to help out the community.
Club members also tried to inform students of the op -

For the Future
The district experimented with sophomores by having them take the Preliminary American College Test (PACT) on Nov. 7, according to Ted Rethmeier, assistant principal for student services.
"If you start to prepare early, then it'll help you a lot later." .
--Stephanie Knittle
The district later decided whether or not to continue the test after the district observed how it worked and how students felt about it, said Rethmeier.
Sophomore Starla Rankins didn't think the test was too difficult and thinks the test will help her when she takes the ACT.
"I think it should be offered next year because it's an opportunity for them (sophomores) to find out how hard the test is, and it'll prepare them for when they take the real test," said Rankins.
Sophomore Stephanie Knittle would also like to see the PACT offered next year so incoming sophomores won't be shocked when they take the ACT and then they will know

how to answer the personal questions.
"If you start to prepare early, then it'll help you a lot later," said Knittle.
Sophomore Ray Paulson also argued the PACT was a good experience for sopho-
mores so they will know what to expect and will do a better job when it counts. He also knows what to expect from it so it will help him when he takes the ACT.
"It's an opportunity to preview something that will happen later on," said Paulson.

Crowded House
Lincoln High School's serious overcrowding problem forced some classes to relocate to the multi-purpose classrooms, the library and the cafeteria.
The overcrowing problem increased and the n'eed for more classrooms became greater as well, according to Principal Sam Nelson.
"Our enrollement has increased every year for the last five years, and the building has not gotten any larger," Nelson said.
"Our enrollment has increased every year for the last five years, and the building has not gotten any larger."
--Sam Nelson
In addition to the increased enrollment, the students were becoming more specialized and required a smaller studentteacher ratio.
Nelson and staff members hoped to have a permanent solution by February 1992.
Nelson felt the relocation and shuffling of classes had little, if any, negative effect on the classes themselves. He said teachers were
learning to cope with the problem and there had not been many complaints.
"It's the quality of the teacher and the learning attitude of the environoment which primarily (affects) student attitude toward learning," said Nelson.
The English as a Second Language classes were relocated to the media center conference room, the microfiche room and the teacher work area. Some departmental offices were relocated to room 302.
Nelson did not like the classroom situation that existed, but said that some areas were more convenient for use than others.
"There are some areas that lend themselves better to instructional use, even on a temporary basis," he said.

form a system with concurrent benefits.
These benefits included a drastic inprovement in memory capabilities, twice the hard drive space, as well as an increase in memory per disk. These models also include more complexity and faster processing.
One advantage was that having the ability to run more complex programs initiated better computer literacy by providing more realistic experience for those who planned to pursue a career in computer science.
"With the many positive characteristics of the Classics, very few disadvantages are involved," Quiring said.
"The only real disadvantage to the Classic would be the minimal screen size," he said.
He also mentioned his disappointment in the stan-
<lard, black and white monitors.
Overall, students who used the new systems reacted positively.
"The thing that attracts me the most about the new sys• terns is their user friendliness," said Carl Masters, a sophomore, and frequent user of the Macintosh Classic. "They're just so easy to understand."
Quiring anticipated another transition of computer hardware at LHS. He foresaw the school system's replacing the Classics with a new Macintosh model, the LC.
For just a fractional increase in price, they include compatibility with old Apple II software, integrated sound and color, and bigger screen capabilities.
"If the funds come in, there will be another big improvement in computer technology at LHS," Quiring said.
One LC model was located in room 128.

the student mediators. "Students are capable of handling their own problems," said Leggiadro. "They just need the chance to talk it out and come up with a solution."
The job of the mediators was to interact with students who were referred to them by Vice-Principal Barry Stark, and to try to get
them to talk about their problems and come up with a solution.
Student mediators followed basic ground rules when meeting with the students: no name-calling and no put-downs were allowed and students were required to show respect for one another and to give each other a chance to speak.
If fighting occured during mediation, the mediation ended and disciplinary action was taken.
Senior Shawn Talawyma chose to become a student mediator so that he could help others.
"We don't try to punish the people," Tala wyma said. "We try to help them think the whole situation through."

The spring conference of the Nebraska Model United Nations provided an interesting, informative experience for many Lincoln High students interested in world politics and diplomacy.
NMUN is a simulation of the actual United Nations in New York City, and students from high schools, colleges and universities had the chance to represent many of the member na lions in the model.
Sophomore Suba Tidball helped represent Syria.
"It really helps you to learn a lot about countries and how they can affect each other in the world," Tidball said. "I really learned a lot about the country I was. Before I did this, I really didn't know that much about it, but MNUN made me learn about my country and others."
The conference also provided the opportunity for individuals and their
various delegations to win awards for the representation of their countries.
Seniors Drew Davies, Josh Davies and Curt Peterson were among those who received Superior awards for representation.
The keynote speaker for the conference, human rights activist and actor Mike Farrel, spoke to about 400 people at Centennial Ballroom of the Nebraska Union. Ferral, best known for his role on the series M*A*S*H, spoke about his views on censorship and the Perisan Gulf conflict.

Student Representation
A student advisory council was voted into the board of education in November. The board was created to give students a voice in the decisions that were made by the board of education. The advisory committee consisted of 20 students- -five from each of the four high schools in the Lincoln Public School system.
The council was not given a voting role because of legal issues After the idea for the council had -been proposed, the board of education sent the proposal to all of the schools to get student reactions, which were all positive. Each of the school principals were given the liberty of deciding the manner in Tradition Broken
Because of the cost of production and the lack of a director the musical was cancelled. The prices paid for costumes, the script and other neccesities was one of the main factors in the decision to cancel the show. Because of the failure to have a musical, the spring choral concert was more elaborate than in the past.
Calling Card
A new phone system was installed throughout the school this year. The Centrex system made dialing around Lincoln High and to other schools much easier because a fourdigit code was assigned to
each department in the individual schools. An operator in the system made transferring calls from department to department
less of a hassle for the callers. At first the staff had a few problems adjusting to the new system but in time it became a success.

In July a task force made up of various members of the community decided against having year round school in the Lincoln Public school system.
The task force based its decision on information given in hour-long presentations by individual subcommittees.
The three main causes for · the rejection of the program were the increase in funds that would be needed, the conflict with extracurricular activities and the effect on family life.

Students focus on techniques, his~ory Classes not imp-ART-ial
From pottery to commercial art to Jewelry making, there was an art class for just about anyone who would want to be in one. The art instructors tried to teach students the history of the art forms they were studying, in addition to showing how to create particular art pieces.
.. We want the students to understand the Intellectual concepts about art," said Department Chair George Sedlacek.
In regular classes (i.e. math, science, social studies), students were taught to look for a specific answer. In art classes, teachers tried to get students to see that there were dtfferen t ways to create, said Sedlacek.
Many of the classes used nature as the focus this year. The design classes studied the human body as a means for wire figures. Photography students worked on indoor and outdoor photography apd improved on dark room techniques, such as double exposure, distortion and hand coloring.
The art department sponsored two art shows during the year, one each semester. Each student that participated In a class was required to enter at least one piece of art work
each semester.
"Students underestimate their own talents," said Sedlacek, giving reason for requiring students to enter their work In the show. "They feel that their work is not worthy. "
Art teachers also tried to encourage their students to enter various art contests throughout Lincoln. Lincoln High students tend to do well in these contests, Sedlacek said.
During second quarter, as part of the chapter on advertising, the Commercial Art classes assisted the LINKS staff in preparing 24 pages of ads for the yearbook. The class created the advertlsments according to the cusomers specifications about size and content.
"Some of the ads came photo ready, but others had the students original work," said commercial art teacher Rosalie Kotwas.

At-Risk helps students for the future Working for the better
The At -Risk program was expanded to include five aspects: the Success[ul Student Experience Center (SSEC), the mentoring program, in school suspension, Steps of Success (S O.S.) and night classes.
!here are new and interesting programs," principal Sam Nelson said. "They don't solve all problems, but they're helping."
These programs were designed to help students who were thinking of dropping out of school or who had out -of- school activities that interfered with regular classes, according to Ted Rethmeier, assistant principal of student services.
Senior Ryan Foster felt that SSEC helped with his studies.

"Teachers send encouraging notes to students and offer them extra help," Lemons said.
Night classes were held to help seniors who
needed credits to graduate or students who had attendance problems and dtdn 't have enough credits to graduate with their class, according to social studies department chair Ross Tegeler.
"There may have been students who had just as much academic ability as the next student who were enrolled in night classes, maybe because they want a lot of different classes in one area, such as music or art, so enrolling in night classes gave them the opportunity to have some choice in classes," Tegeler said
Tegeler said night class students used the same textbooks as day classes, but didn't get to experience class discussions like day classes.
"It's great to see so many students be able to graduate on time with the rest of their class and know they were successful. It's really excltlng," Tegeler said.

"The teachers and counselors have been real helpful in helping me choose the classes to take to pursue my career," he said.
These courses included business management, business procedures, economics and word processing.
Senior Rachel Schmidt said she felt courses such as typewriting, word processing, and applied economics would help her achieve her goal of going into business.
"My business classes have taught me how to conduct myself in a business like manner," Schmidt said.
Junior Josh Deshon said Lincoln High has provided him with "all the essentials I will need to get a good start in my business career." Deshon said he thought the teachers helped him decide he would like to pursue business.
With the classes at Lincoln High, students have many opportunities to go into business As well as helping students with future career goals, several business classes involved projects that benefited the entire school.

Students exposed to different writing styles English gets creative
An important objective of-English teachers was to expose students to a wide variety of writing styles, said creative writing teacher Deborah McGinn.
English courses offered this year ranged from composition and creative writing to cla~ses such as Vocabulary Building and American Literature .
Senior Tabitha Gewecke said, "I like composition because I can express my thoughts in the vartous ·compositions I write."
Junior Jenny Chrtstie was in the advanced American Literature class.
"Amertcan Literature is very hard to understand. The best part ofthe class is getting the chance to read the works of famous wrtters," Chrtstie said.
Sophomore Josh Snowden said, "Differentiated English 10 is a rigorous course. It is challenging, yet it helped me improve my writing skills."
Sophomore Kenny Amen took English 10. "I like the class because I have gained the ability to understand the matertal , " said Amen. Junior Hugh Lau said ; "Vocabulary Build -
ingwillhelp on tests such as the PSATand SAT, especially the verbal parts. The wo rds are also different and they can make for an interesting conversation."
Senior Bryan Fleming took the Contemporary Literature course this year.
"The good thing about the class is that it is quiet," Fleming said. "That gives me the chance to read books that were written within the last century."
Sophomore Rose Felton was in English Reading this year.
"English Reading is a pretty nice class. I like the subject of English in general, but I like to write Journals the best because I can write whatever I feel," said Felton.
McGinn said to write is meaningful and important because it gives a person free expression 'Writing is important in an English curriculum because it allows students to expand in a creative way," she said.

There she was just a driving down the street singin' "doo-wah-didi-didi-dum-didi-doo :· Does this sound like a typical day in school? Well, it did toapproximately630 students who took part in the drivers' education program.
Many take drivers' education either to lower their insurance rates or because their parents will not let them get their licenses unless they take the class
Students took part in driving simulations--films which give hands-on experience in dealing with everyday driving situations.
For some students, driving the simulators was not quite the same as actual driving.
"The only problem I have with the class is the simulators. I realize that they are trying to help you, but you 're not always going to have a voice telling you what to do," said sophomore Shannon Genthe.
Along with drivers' education, sophomores usually take toning and fitness, a class in which students take part in some kind of physical activity.
"I like swimming, but I hate walking around the track. I just don't think it does much for you," said sophomore Patti Rieber. "The main reason I'm

taking the class is because drivers' education goes along with it."
Career planning provided opportunities for students to find a better understanding of themselves and what type of job they would be successful at. After taking this class, sophomore Danielle Simpson found out that she really liked working with and helping others.
In health class, students learned about mental health, nutrition, and the cardiovascular system, among other topics.
"Even though health class is generally a repeat from junior high, I think it is a good class to take because it gives you a better understanding of your' body and things that affect it," said sophomore Bryce Barnet.

ESL ojfers d variety of classes Studies are more than the basics
Cultural diversity is noted as one of Lincoln High's strongest assets A large part of the multicultural atmosphere is the English as a Second Language program. The program, which included 115 students second semester (an additional 47 students since first semester), accommodates students whose first languages include Vietnamese, Spanish, Ukrainian, and others, said ESL teacher Mark Holt.
ESL teacher Christy Tisdale said the influx necessitated the hiring of a new teacher and reorganizing of students' schedules.
It was a big scramble," she said. ..We just had to hold the kids in one room and work on their schedules."
Besides language classes, the ESL program offers Social Studies, Math, Science, Keyboarding, P.E., and Art classes geared toward students with minimal English skills. • These classes help students complete graduation requirements and to make up for leapiing they may not have been previously exposed to.
Some of the students have not had education in their home countries," said Tisdale.
Such classes are intended to improve vocabulary- and compensate for gaps in knowlege" ESL students must deal with before being mainstreamed into a regular curriculum.
Holt said ESL classes are not conducted like traditional lecture classes. Although the instructors do not speak such a wide variety of languages, they convey the language through repetition and actions
.. It's like a game of charades eveiy day. If I jump around and act stupid, eventually (the students understand)."
Kim Anh Nguyen, a Level II ESL student, said English was different from her native language, Vietnamese, and learning spelling was the most difficult language of mastering the new language
.. It would take about six years to be able function completely (in English)," she said. ..In two or three years they're pretty much mainstreamed."

Variety of classes oifered in home economics Home on the range
'The Home Economics department is helping students become more aware of family and student relationships, and of human development," said Glenda Siemek.
"Lincoln High's Home Economics department is the largest in the state and includes five full time home economic teachers," said Sheree Moser.
The Home Economic classes include Interior Design, Clothing and Design, Human Behavior, Foods and Services, Families and Crisis, Child Care Training, Exploring Childhood,Independent Living and the Student Parenting class.
'Too many students don't give home e c onomics a chance, its more than Just cooking and sewing," said Moser.
'The Interior Design class decorated the interior of the house the construction class built." said Jeraldine Mays. The students wallpapered and designed the inside.
The Food Service classes were in charge of the Linky Dinks Diner,-said Moser. Through-
out the year during first period the·food service classes had a bake shop, fast food and sit down restaurants. At the end of the semester the students would go out to dinner with the profits they made from the Linky Oinks Diner, said Moser.
A few of students in the Clothing and Design class volunteered to make a panel for an AIDS quilt that travels around the U.S.
"The students were told a little bit about an AIDS victim's life and asked to come up with a design that portrays his personality," said Mays.
One of the students that participated in the making of the quilt was sophomore, Jenifer .Ahola.
'We came up with some ideas and put it together," said Ahola.
"It was a great experience and the girls' gained a lot from it," said Mays.

Figure it out
M ath uses technology
According to department chair Harvey Stoner, the math department offered two specialized programs this year: Engli'sh as a second language (ESL) and Pre-Cal calculator class.
ESL math, which began about two years ago, addressed the needs of students who are not native speakers of English. The program inchided an interpreter for students who needed One. Alice Beard, math teacher, had students practice their English by doing oral exercises.
"The program is going to get better and bigger because the teachers will have more experience in dealing with the students," Beard said.
Hong Nguyen, sophomore, heard about the program from one of her teachers.
"I think it's a good program. Before I didn't understand it (math), but now I do," said Nguyen.
Technology also became part of math classes, as one group of Pre-Cal students used special calculators. The $80 calculators, purchased by the student or the school, graphed whatever the students want them to, said Don Olsen, math
teacher.
The Pre-Cal class hoped to be in the same place as the regular class bytheendofthe year, although it used a different sequence and text book, according to Olsen.
"I think it's a good class, and the students seem to enjoy working with the calculators," said Olsen.
Paige Dean, junior, said she would recommend the class because it's different and kind of exciting.
"Using the calculators, you do something different that's not routine. We are also planning on working in groups so we can help each other and understand it better,"said Dean.
Michelle Wade, senior, also recommended the class to students because it's new technology.
"I think it's a good class because it's challenging," said Wade.

Students help the community, themselves Building industrial technology
"Industrial Technology classes prepare students for the real world with real life talents," said Dennis Weixelman, automotive technology teacher.
With such classes, students not only received credit for the class, but also had a chance to help their community with their projects.
The Residential Construction class, taught by Erle Knoll, is one of the classes that got a chance to help the community.
The class had reconstructed old houses for the past 3 years, but this year they wanted to build one from scratch.
"Rebuilding doesn't really give the student the know how they would get by doing It the way we did," said Knoll.
Although the students get so much from rebuilding the houses, they tend to respect the work more since it ts their own.
"It was fun to build the house from scrateh and It also gave us the chance to help the less fortunate, "said Junior Matt Johnson.
While the Residential Construction class was helping the community, the Automotive

class·was helping the faculty with their cars.
Some teachers were willing to use the class to have their cars -fixed for free while giving students the knowledge they need to pass the class, as well as make it in the real world.
"The automotive class ls learning the how to of the automotive world, with the help of other teachers," according to Weixelman.
Instead of helping others, the Graphic Art class helped their wardrobe.
"Many students in the class made shirts to fit their own personal taste," said teacher Gary ·comeer.
The class was more than creating shirts; they also made certain designs that made them feel they created something special.
"It was fun and exciting to make our own shirts, as well as learning the basics to do It all by ourselves," said Junior Ricky Smltt.

Music classes kept busy
Note-iceble
performances
The music departments had been very busy this year. They have been performing all year and had active support from the students who participate in the classes.
Seniors Kim Cook and Marcy Florian were in Concert Choir and Madrigals. Approximately 70 people were in Concert Choir, which, according to Cook and Florian, sang all kinds of music from acappella to modem.
"I liked the class because of the challenge of getting the details right," said Florian.
The 16 people in Madrigals sang Renaissance music, all acappella, and preformed at The Madrigal Feaste.
"We learn our music mainly without the piano," said Cook.
Cook had been in Concert Choir for 2 years.
"It (the class) helps you because you have to work very closely with the others in the class to get the music right," said Cook.
Florian pointed out that "It's a good cl~ss for interacting with all kinds of people."
The instrumental department was alsovery busy this year with the Symphonic Band and the Orchestra. Teny Rush was the director for both groups.
Sophomore Jill Tice was an oboe player in the Symphonic Band. Their concert season started in January and what made the class difficult was that "Mr. Rush likes everything perfect," said Tice.
Juniors Susan Walton and Stephanie Wells both played in the Orchestra. Walton played the Cello and Wells played the viola. They too played in the Madrigal Feast.
"I think it's pretty neat when we listen to the radio and we hear a song we have played," said Walton.
Both said they liked the class.
"If the class was all serious it would be boring, we like to goof around and have fun too," explained Wells.

Different classes offered, day and night Science builds future
The science department tried to meet the needs of all students, according to department chair B.J. Hirt. •
According to Hirt, the science department offered classes like anatomy and physiology and biology for college bound students and classes like environmental biology and physical science for students who had reading difficulty or were trying to meet graduation requirements.
.. We're trying to cover both ends of the spectrum; we have to remember that not all students are (academically) gifted," said Hirt.
Differentiated biology is a class for students who have an interest in biology, according to teacher Pat Friedrichsen.
I'm assuming the students have a prior background in biology and that the students have an interest in biology," said Freidrichsen.
Environmental biology is a class for students with reading difficulties, according to Hirt.
•
We learn 95% of the things that the regular biology classes learn only we do it at a slower, more relaxed pace," Hirt said.
Night school senior high physical science is the same as the day class except that there
is more freedom to do different activities, according to teacher Jim Rynearson.
Rynearson said he planned field trips to Harris Laboratories and Mueller Planetarium.
According to Rynearson, the night class can move at a faster pace than day classes. We can do experiments faster in a twohour block as opposed to just having 50 minutes. It's more efficient," he said.
Botany was new to Lincoln High this year . According to teacher Steve Ferris, botany is a study of plant structure, plant physiology, fungus, algae and plant related issues such as the rain forest and alternative plants.
Ferris is anxious to move into PSAB in 1992
'1'he new PSAB science wing will have an 8 x 20 greenhouse where we can grow different kinds of plants and have class activities that weren't possible before," said Ferris. by Jon Rehm

Students react to open discussions Studies not all books
Students in Jack Brestel's Citizenship lssues classes were given the opportunity to learn the different sides of a current issue then debate it on Reaction Day, said social studies teacher Brestel.
"Reaction Day gives us a chance to learn things that we wouldn't normally learn from the · textbook or worksheets and lectures," said senior Matt Olberding.
The class spent a few minutes one day learning about one side of an issue and the next day about other side. Then on Reaction Day they were able to give their views on the issue, said Brestel.
If you hear it on the news you don't get all the facts. If you hear propaganda you might automatically think a certain way. This way you get both sides, sometimes it changes your opinion , " said Senior Chrissy LaMaster Reaction Days were held Fridays and covered such topics as gun control, censorship, education, and euthanasia. Students then wrote a paper stating their opinion on the topic.
Brestel said he started Reaction Day be-
cause he always liked discussing current events. By having a discussion on a specific topic, things were more organized.
"I like to stimulate open discussion in my classroom and I thought this was the way to go about doing it and not have it be so wild and crazy," he said.
Students used their knowledge about current events as well as other subjects in this year's Citizen Bee, according to social studies teacher and sponsor Richard Koenig.
1he Citizen Bee is like a spelling bee," said Koenig." The difference is instead of having to spell words, you have to answer questions about citizenship."
Seth said the Citizen Bee prepared her for the regionals.
"I learned things that I wouldn't have known about otherwise."

Students get involved in many activities Curriculum expanded
This past year was very beneficial for special education students at Lincoln High according to department coordinator Jane Bozek.
"We felt the need for a more intensive training for the students. That is, finding positions to flt each student's needs," said Bozek.
Part of the curriculum of special education students was based on vocational training in the community.
"Working at these Job sites offered the students a chance to develop relationships with non-handicapped people, and to increase the understanding of their capabilities," added Bozek.
Heather Williams had a Job at Tabitha Nursing Home as part of her training. During 2nd, 3rd, and 4th periods, she worked in the kitchen wrapping silverware and making salads •
"I like Tabitha a lot. It's a gre~t Job and I've made many friends," said Williams.
While working at Tabitha, Heather earned her full credit hours needed to complete her
training. Sometime after she graduates, Heather would like to work at a day care center. •
"I want to work at a day care center in the future because I like to work with children. I like to babysit and I am good at it," added Williams.
Before the students can get a job out in the community, they are taught domestic skills (cooking, cleaning), recreation and leisure (group activities in the community), general community (grocery work, public facilities), and basic job training, said Bozek.
"Each student has different needs. We teach them skills based on those needs," said Bozek.
By offering jobs to special education students, they have made friendships, participated in activities throughout the community, and they have been given the chance to integrate with non-handicapped people.

Work study provides many opportunities More than just a job
Work/Study and Experlenclal Leaming (EL) are programs offered here to help students receive credit hours for working at a Job while maintaining their grades, said program director Bob Edwards.
''Through this program, students can be paid for working and still earn the grade they want," said Edwards.
Edwards and Carl Tarlowski are the teachers for the course who try to help students find Jobs. Working students can be referred to Work/Study by a guidance counselor, teacher, parent, friend, or by themselves, said Edwards.
Ta rlowskl believes in helping students find Jo bs for their class use, not for their out of school needs.
"These classes attempt to help students findJobs, butitisnotanemploymentagency," said Tarlowski.
From this class, the students receive instruction in employment skills, learn fram the Job experience, and they learn by earning school credit and Job pay.
Seniors Tara Folden and Scott Hill have participated in Work/Study.
Folden has been in Work/Study since the second semester of her sophomore year, and she will finish the class before second semester of her senior year. Folden has also held Jobs at the Lincoln Journal-Star and 1MI.
"This class gives me a chance to see and hear how other students handle different situations that come up in their Jobs," said Folden. Hill has participated in Work/Study since the second semester of his Junior year.
"Work/Study Is definitely a good class," said Hill, "because it will help me graduate midterm."
Grades and school activities take priority, according to Tarlowski.
"We encourage students to work the least amount of hours per week as possible because we feel that high school activities and grades should come first," added Tarlowskl.

IMAGINE THAT. Junior
NEVER ENDING STORY Senior Micki Waddell (front) works on a yearbook layout while Junior Leslie Thompson
Publications provide outlets for writers
"So much to do, so little time." This expression might be familiar to many students involved in Advocate, Links or lmage--it's called meeting a deadline .
Yearbook production was expanded to classes beyond the official staff, including marketing, commercial arts and journalism.
"I think doling out the responsibilities of producing a yearbook was a good idea because it offers a more diverse quality to the yearbook," said Niki Ziemba, people editor.
Expansion meant the editorial board was able to focus more on coverage, editing, layout and design.
According to Advocate editor Vikram Jaswal generally 100-150 hours were spent producing each issue.
"The staff spends so much time working on each paper publication so that we turn out a good product," said Jaswal.
Junior Heidi Woerner said she enjoyed being on staff because it gave her an opportunity to learn, through inteNiews, more about what went on in school.
Image magazine was the result when creative writings selected by a board of nineteen students were compiled and published.
Though the board didn't have a specific criteria, according to junior Lacy Schutz, they looked for pieces that showed originality, that sparked atten- . tion and that showed freshness of ideas.
Sophomore Elisa Borchert said being ' on the board helped her because - it gave her a more rounded view of writing and the different styles used, as well as .contributing to her vocabulary.

"People thought Lincoln High wasn't anything: but as the weeks went on, they realized how good we really were," said senior Pat Westlund.
After losing its first three games, the team came back with a victory over number eight rated Omaha North on Homecoming. Westlund scored the winning touchdown on an 80 yard return after a blocked field goal late in the fourth quarter, making the final score 14-7.
"The win over Omaha North marked the turning point of our season. The team started playing with confidence, and they played up to their potential," said Coach Harold Simpson.
Junior Aaron Davis said the team was tired of losing, and it was time to play ball.
"We started believing in ourselves, that we could win, and we did! Without the support of the fans and th.e coaches, we couldn't have done it," Davis said.
"It goes to show you that school spirit really pumps a team up," said Westlund.
After the victory over Omaha North, the team went on to win five straight games. The team, with a 6-3 record, face d Grand Island at State. This was
the first time in the history of the playoffs that Lincoln High has gone to State.
Coach Simpson said the team improved its ability to run the football as the season went on, which opened up its passing game.
"The team had to get it in their mind that they were good, and they shouldn't let themselves down. They met every challenge with playing up to their best ability," said Simpson.

"This was my most satisfying year for coaching the reseive football team," said coach Alex Czeranko.
At the end of the season, Czeranko felt the beginning of the season was the hardest start of any of the three seasons he has been head coach of the reseive team.
"We couldn't get a grasp of the players' strong and weak points," was one reason Czeranko gave for the hard start. "Also, it was hard to tell who could do what and who would play tough for us."
Junior Matt Bott felt that the team started slow, but ended strong.
"We improved greatly ," said Bott
The reseive team ended its season 4-3 and took second in city. Czeranko said that this was the first • time in nine years that th~ reseive team has beaten Southeast.
Bott was excited to have beaten Southeast.
"It was awesome to break the change," he said. Czeranko agreed
"Beating Southeast this year was •the most satisfying thing to see," said Czeranko.
"We haq a shot at a decent year, we could have a good record if things went well," was how sopho -

Heibel felt his team did not have any problems with attitudes.
"At the end of the season, the players entered each game with the attitude they could come out of the game as winners," Heibel said.
"The ·season went well," sophomore Bryan Tlamka. "No one tried to play the game themselves; we worked together as a team."

Coach Dennis Weixelman said he had the best record of his career during the 1990 season. Although the team did well, it had tough competition.
"The one and two players in Class A have good quality; they are impossible to beat. They are just so good," he said.
The boys defeated Fremont and Pius X, which they haven't done for some time. Weixelman said the team worked on drills half of the time in practice.
"Drills do pay dividends. They paid off for the players this year," said Weixelman. He said the team worked hard in practice and it showed in games.
Playing since ninth grade, senior Jason Loth said this season he improved mostly on his consistency Loth said the team was positive and played well. He added that playing doubles is better than singles because the game gets more involved.
Sophomore Austin Larson, who has played tennis for five · years, said the teams he faced were competitive. Larson enjoyed playing singles more than doubles because he had more experience playing singles.
"In playing tennis, you have to be

LHS Volleyball-Better Than Ever Teams Work Together
Bump. Set. Spike. These words were common to the junior varsity and sophomore volleyball teams.
Many hard practices after school and on Saturday mornings enabled sophomores to claim the victory of city champs.
"At the beginning of the season, we never thought that we could take city; but now that we have, it's a great feeling to know that we were the best team in the city," said sophomore Melissa Abernathy.
Teamwork, as in almost every sport, was very important to the success of both teams.
"I think we worked real well as a team, and we tried to communicate as much as possible," said junior Chris King.
Along with team goals, many per- · sonal goals were set, and almost all were accomplished, according to K~nt Wurster, sophomore volleyball coach.

In order to have a successful season, team support needs to come from both the coach and the other team members.

Wurster was positive about the future.
"For as well as the teams did this year, I think Lincoln High volleyball has a good future in the years to come."

Homes Away From Home
Though most students flocked out of the building at 3:05, a few found their way to their homes away from home.
Students found a haven In the little niches they occupied during the year. These • homes· In reality became justthatforsome.
Senior Jason Berlowltz spent a great deal of time enjoying thesanctltude of the Speech/ Debate room, PSAB 1.
·rve never had a great home setting. Right now I live In a group home and I don't spend a lot of time at home,· said Berlowltz.
Jeff Jackson emphasized this point.
·rhe band Is a big family and that's (the band room) the house,· he said.
Students could be found In various areas of the school pursuing speclal Interests.
Senior Curt Peterson could be found In the Speech/Debate room researching debate topics and receiving coaching for debate.
·Debatetakesa lot of dedication. You've got to get as much coaching as you can and It makes It easier If you are In the element,· said Peterson.
Senior Donnette Cold enjoyed pottery and might teach It In the future.
·1 like pottery a lot and I want to be really good. In order to do that I have to practice a lot: said Cold.
Whatever their reasons, these students and more found themselves at school a great deal of time this year, contributing to the ·home away from home· atmosphere.

Teen Parenting
"It's a support system ," said Glenda Siemek , teacher of the Student Parenting class
Many people do not realize the Importance of a class to benefit boys and girls who already have children or are expectIng children.
The class Is a two-hour elective class. There are five different areas covered In the class: Self-empowered lndlvldual, Pregnancy, Parenting, Health and Wellness, Economic Wellness. The students go to community agencies and to day care centers and "work with infants to get first hand experience", said Siemek.
Senior Lisa Gray took the class and had some very good things to say about it. Gray felt the class can benefit everyone who takes it.
" It gives you a chance you don ' t feel all alone because their pregnant too" , said Gray
Gray said the field trips are very helpful resources and they learn so much from them. They show the students where they can go for support and help and also help them learn to be responsible parents.
"Once ln a while I'll get a snicker from someone in the hall but you get used to lt...people need to keep an open mind about the class and the people in it but

Make a wish ...
Jacqu' ee WIiiiams , a new student this year, was one of the few to get a new car her Junior year.
Williams received a red Fo d Escort GTfrom the "Make a Wish Fountiation: an organization that grants wishes to terminally ill children and young adults. Williams was diagnosed with cancer and was referred to the program by her doctor
"I'm a junior and living In a new town, - Williams said about her choice ofa newcar "Noonelnmyfamilyhas a car, so it will help them, too.-
Williams was excited about the prospect of being able to drive around town in her own car, especially a red one
"It's pretty cool,' she said 'I'm taking drivers· ed now to learn how to drive.-
Williams said that after coming from Arkansas this year , her early experiences at Lincoln High Included making many friends only to lose several because people avoided her when they learned she has cancer.
• People treated me differently because lwalkwlthastralghtleg.- she said. First Williams had Osteoscarma, a form of cancer, and had to have her left knee removed. The second time the cancer -was In her right lung.
"It was like I was poison/ she said "It really hurts when people do that. Don't treat people with cancer differently. It makes them fe el like it's their fault. N Erik Finkler

Daisy, Mercedes, MoJo and Mr. Smiles were clowns who talked to elementary and junior high students about being drug free.
When not In clown makeup and funny costumes, the foursome were better recognized as Juniors Melissa Akin, Angela Bailey, Monique Paulson and John Ert1, respectively.
Ertl said he felt he was accomplishing something by being a Drug Free Clown.
"I am hoping to help someone stay away from drugs by talking to them abouthowbad they are,· said Ert1. "I feel proud of what I am doing because I really believe that talking to elementary students makes them understand and relate to something like a clown. Kids get tired of hearing parents preaching about the same old thing.·
Akin shared Ertl' s sense of accomplishment.
"They can relate to us by understanding It's okay to be drug free,· she said.
Junior Angela Bailey decided to become a clown to have an opportunity to work with young children.
"I like working with little kids and telling them what's right,· said Balley.
Paulson recounted an experience which highlighted the universal nature and effectiveness of clowns.
• 1was at an assembly, and after I was done performlng,a deaf child came up to me and gave me a hug.· Paulson said, ·and she couldn't even hear."

White snow Is falling from the sky. Freezing winds are causing the students to run carefully into the building from abandoned cars. One student is separated from the rest. She Is wearing shorts.
Junior Amy Streckfuss has been wearing shorts to school, all year long, as often as she can, since the ninth grade.
Wearing shorts year round could be considered a family tradition. Streckfuss's brother. Matt ('90) started her in wearing shorts.
The only times Streckfuss wears jeans Is when it's· really windy or really cold.· When those times happen.she doesn't ·feel as comfortable· In jeans as she feels in shorts.
• 1t drives me crazy when people say I'm stupid (for wearing shorts in the winter), but wearing shorts Is Just like wearing a skirt,· commented Streckfuss.
·The only time I get cold Is from the car to the school,· said Streckfuss, • inside it's heated. so I can't get cold • Streckfuss's favorite shorts are jean shorts because ·they look the best: Khaki colored shorts run a close second. Jeans are okay to wear on occasion, but Streckfuss doesn't ·do the pants thing.· The end of autumn saw Streckfuss buying three pairs of jeans. • 1t was time to buy them.~ she said.

The name game ...
'Zindermeyer, Zoller, Zook.' Last again. Oh, well. Maybe next time someone else will be last.
Easy said, but not always easlly done.
Having a name at the far end of the alphabet has Its shorts, such as being the last person called on In class, the last person listed In their section of the yearbook.
Junior Nathon Zook has been the last person on many lists for most of t°)ls life.
"I have no feeling about that (being listed last), but I don't Ilka to wait for my name to be called because It's always the last one,· said Zook.
Last names can be a unique part of life.
• People usually say my name right,· Zook said,· but sometimes It does get pronounced wrong.·
"Zook Is a cool last name; It rhymes with book, look, and nook,· he said. Another' unique aspect about his last name is that Dr. Seuss uses the name Zook In, The Butter Battle Book.
"It's a really cool book,· Zook said. -Tammy Koeppe

The big moment. ..
Getting a drivers· llcense--an exciting event that comes for many students during their sophomore year.
• 1don· t thl nk that turning 16 Is that big of a deal; It's getting your drivers' license that makes It a big 9eal. • said sophomore Margaret Drdla.
·1 was excited just to get my license. I didn't care whether I was turning 16 or 17,· Drdla added.
Some. however, wlll have to wait until next year. such as sophomore Melissa Tubbs, who won't turn 16 until December of her junior year.
• 1know almost all of my friends will be driving before me, and all I can say Is that I'm hopeful for my license,· she said.
• '
On the other hand, some sophomores got their licenses before school even started.
·rm really glad I got my license because It helped me out a lot, but the only problem was that I was the only one out of my friends that could drive so I always had to," said sophomore Andy Monk.
For some, driving is a necessity in life, while others It Is a privilege.
• 1think driving Is a privilege because It gives you more freedom in your life," said Frank Ybarra. ·If I didn't have my license I would just bum rides off of my friends.·

Imagine that. ..
Carabla, you are entering a brlghtty lit room, and crouching In the corner of this room Is a troll holding a crystal staff. What do you do?
This is what can happen to a person playing the game Dungeons and Dragons.
Sophomore Ray Paulson described the game D&D as, "taking the role of an Imaginary person and having that person do things that are new and exciting, which 'they couldn't do normally. -
When choosing character roles, Paulson said h~ usually chooses good characters • that other people look up to. -
• Bad characters are hard to play because others don't like them,· he said. The choice of a character is Important because choosing the wrong character, either baq or good, can mean quick deoth, he added.
One reason Paulson likes the game Is because It offers a chance to get together with friends; but the game has a bad reputation. •
"The Image some people give of D&D Is that It Is satanic, and itwarpschlldren'sminds,· Paulson said. "They don't know what they are talking about. Most of the people saying these things have never played the game. It's pretend.-

And the winner is ...
"My biggest thrill in fencing is trying to outsmart my opponent,· said sophomore Pat Flnnegan,a competitive fencer.
"I try to beat my opponents: Finnegan said. "I try hard because my opponents think that they are better than I.·
Finnegan first learned how to fence last June. He was ata friend's house when his friend 's brother, Al Schmid, asked him about fencing. Schmid Is a fencer at UNL.
"He looked at me and asked me If I had fenced before: Finnegan said. ·we went Into the back yard, he gave me a few lessons, taught me some moves, and I loved it.·
Finnegan competes through the Lincoln Fenc :lng Club. His practices and tournaments are held at Malone Center. Finnegan competes against other Individuals \Nho are In his age group
"Competitions are mainly youth to youth,· Finnegan said. • But I usually fence against adults, over 18 years old, In practice.·
Since he took up fencing, Finnegan has competed in one tournament. He fenced to a first place.
"I am happy with my performance, and my coaches feel good about my work, too,· he said.
