"Year of the Spartan" proves to be a classic

ARolls Royce, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Gone With the Wind, the Hope diamond, and the Mona Lisa-all classics to be sure. But what makes a classic?

"Any work that serves as a pattern is a classic."

That's what Mrs. June Williams told her students during her lecture on the fliad. She was referring specifically to the epic, the great achievement of Greek literature. But her comments might apply equally well to a classic year at East High. And what made a classic year?

Ask any Spartan and he could tell you.

The cheerleaders called it "The Year of the Spartan." It was a year not just for seniors, but for all students and faculty to look back on with pride. And not just obvious things like sports. This was a classic year in academics, art, activities, music and teaching. And it was a year for classy people, too.

Oh yes.

What better place to chronicle this classic year than the Epic?

After all, it seemed only fitting that the yearbook be classical too. Surely if he had been retelling this Spartan saga , Homer himself would have been consistent.

That is why this year's Epic is entitled ·"The Making of a Classic." It wasn't enough merely to say that 1981-1982 was a pattern for years to come. It had to be documented. We invite you to examine our claim that this was a golden year for the Spartan.

Our proud Spartans are mighty warriors

Every epic has its hero and our hero is the Spartan. The Spartan, a mighty warrior, became our ideai'and we tried to uphold that image on and off the battlefield

In classical Greek history, the Spartans were known as a great military machinethey dedicated their whole lives to fighting. The Spartans were gritty and brave but were never allowed to leave Sparta except on raids They could be described as having "military regimentation and intellectual stagnation."

East High Spartans had a different idea. Some thought the Spartan was someone who set high goals for himself and someone who strove to achieve them. Our Spartans tried to do a little extra, to go a step further than was expected. Our Spartans went for the gold. Our Spartans had class, were friendly and involved.

Maybe not everyone felt th~ same way about East High, or felt the same sense of pride that others did But for most students, the impression that we made on others was important. We wanted to uphold the reputation of the Spartan as a mighty warrior and as our ideal.

Social whirl revolves around epic hero

The East-Southeast football game is Friday night. Are you going to be there?"

•

"I'm not sure, the fall play is Friday too."

Students often faced the dilemma of how to budget their time among competing activities. Action always revolves around the hero in an epic and at East there was plenty of action.

East High was not a place students ran away from as soon as that 3:00 p.m. bell sounded. Some students stayed after school to better learn and enjoy their favorite foreign language. German students, for example, participated in cultural dinners and exchanges with other German clubs.

Activities also meant early morning and evening practice. Band members came as early as 7:00 a.m. to prepare for the Pershing Marching Band Competition. The musical and drama casts rehearsed nightly for six weeks in order to put on a successful production.

All the action year-round helped students to enjoy ·a special interest, improve a skill or to just socialize with their friends .

Legendary Spartans have powerful base

The name Spartan can be traced back more than 2,000 years to a small town in southern Greece on the Eurotas River Sparta, city of the Spartans, was a walled enclosure in the heart of the mountains. Difficult to attack, the city had further protection from its mighty armies.

Spartan men prided themselves on their discipline, rigor, and courage. At birth baby boys were examined by the elders. If the child was weak or frail, it was taken to the hills and abandoned. Spartans began their military training at age 20, became full -time soldiers at age 20, and continued to fight until age 60.

Spartan women were taught to show joy when informed that a husband, son or lover had fought bravely and well, even if he received a mortal wound. When a man left for battle, he was given his shield by his mother and told to return with it or on it.

Lincoln East High, like Sparta, is located • high on a hill. Modern day Spartans strove hard to uphold their legendary models. The Spartan image has been upheld in discipline, and dedication, not perhaps on the battlefield, but on athletic fields and in the classroom

East has claimed 22 National Merit semifinalists over the past three years. One student was named a presidential scholar.

In sports, Spartan teams have had great achievements: three of the last four years East has been awarded the All -Sports Trophy given to the school with the most championship points in boys and girls sports. The football team has been rated in the top ten 11 of the last 12 years.

In music, the East Singers have been consistent winners in all city competitions and were chosen this year to sing at the Nebraska Choral Directors convention in Ralston .

Spartan road trips: getting away from it all

The students, like the Greek her~, took more and more "journeys," much to their parents' dismay. Whether it was just to Omaha for a shopping spree, or clear to Colorado for a ski trip, the students felt it was refreshing just to "get away from it all."

A low-key idea of a "road trip" was cruising the famous "O" Street, which could be seen on a Friday or Saturday night.

Twenty-one students went abroad to F ranee or Germany on exchange programs and returned home a little bit more cultured than the rest of us.

The cheerleaders, Apollonaires, and flag corps went to clinics over the summer while Student Council, the Epic and Oracle staff all were involved in workshops to bring back good ideas for the upcoming classic school year.

Several seniors took trips to visit prospective colleges and universities, such as Princeton, Harvard, Georgetown and Northwestern.

During the school year, there were migrations to Omaha and Grand Islandto see our "heroes" slaughter the rivals. Three clubs, East Guard, Singers, and Band, sponsored ski trips to Colorado for the club members. In the spring, there were a lot of small "trips" to people's farms for bonfires and symposiums, or to cabins for waterskiing parties.

What was required for a successful "road trip"? Friends, a camera with a whole roll of film, your favorite beverage, a radio, and a lot of money.

The best things always come in threes

Along with the other rules of an epic, the Greeks placed great importance on the number three. To them, three was considered a holy number. So most actions in an epic happened in threes or multiples of three.

In Greek mythology, the three principal Olympian gods were Zeus, god of the heavens and the world, Poseidon, god of the sea, and Hades, god of the underworld. F roin this important trinity the number took on its significant meaning to the Greeks.

At East several things fall in threes. There are three grades in both the junior and senior highs, and three class officers in each senior high grade. There are three sports seasons during the school year, and of course the building itself has three stories.

Actually, the Spartans had access to three Apple computers. The computers were used, among other things, to predict the wild card in the football playoffs, German grammar reviews, and by the Oracle and Epic staffs to store and edit stories.

Multiples of three around East include the six people that · make up the administration: one principal, four assistant principals, and one athletic director; the twelve people that make up the swing choir, and the fact that you must climb twelve steps in each staircase. This was the fifteenth year for East High, and this year's Epic sold for fifteen dollars, a rather expensive multiple of three.

ADMINISTKATION Concern ·holds school together

Concern for the students was clearly shown by the counselors and administration. They formed the support system that held the school together.

Whenever a student had a problem, th~re was always a concerned counselor available to listen and offer advice. Every Tuesday even ing, the counselors were in their offices until 8:30 to talk with parerits and help students.

The administrators often went out of their way to support the studen t s Mr. Francis Arthur, Asst. Principal of Student Services, for example , accompanied the Singers on their annual sk i trip as a chaperone.

When the office was remodeled , the main counter was moved along with the teacher's mailboxes to form a wall. There was a small openins left for the teachers, office ladies and the administrators Many studen t s felt that they were building a barrier to keep the students away instead of the real reason-to stop the interruptive traffic through the office

Spelling, lit pilots tried

Two pilot programs gave a 'new twist to English classes. Experimental programs in spelling and literature involved five volunteer teachers and both junior and senior high classes.

\ "A pilot is using new ideas for teaching something so students will understand it better," Department Head Steve Rector said.

The new spelling program required students to learn a list of words each week.

"There are different levels of words. No matter how well a person can spell, there are still words to challenge them," Rector explained.

The new literature pilot gave teachers a set of guidelines to follow. They also gained ideas for keeping st~dents interested and having them learn more effectively.

"A teacher who has been teaching literature would probably have done the things the pilot suggested anyway. New teachers find it easier to use the guidelines because it provides them with an outline to follow," seventh and eighth grade teacher Mr. Bauer explained.

"One of the main problems in teaching was getting materials. The literature pilot has solved part of that problem and it will be worth the time if it continues to do so," he added.

Cultural awareness grows

Taking part in a ioreign language meant lots of hard work, but to a large number of students that didn't bother them.

Over 40 percent of East students were enrolled in one of the three languages offered, compared to only about 20 percent at the other Lincoln high schools. - Spanish classes had the highest enrollment followed by German and French.

Latin and Greek Roots also had high enrollments, but were not included in the figures above.

For students who wished to expand their cultural knowledge beyond the class-

room, a variety of other activities were sponsored by the three language clubs. Students could also apply to become an AFS exchange student.

Dr. William Hammelmann, language department chairman, said he would like to make kids more aware of how important languages are in preparing for the future, especially in the job market.

Dr Hammelmann also said that he would like to see Russian offered again. "The demand for Russian seems to go in cycles " he said, "and it hasn't really been practi~al to offer it as a regular class."

SOCIJIL STUDIES

Recent requirement revised

For the class of '82, the new Citizenship Issues course was difficult to schedule and even more troublesome to understand. Although it was piloted in 1980-81, the course had not had a chance to pass the "trial by fire."

"We are not using the same approach as Hugh T roshynski,-" explained department chairman Dwain Myers, referring to a \ former faculty member who introduced the course at East. "We also have four ' teachers teaching it now, instead of one, and we bought new books."

The social studies staff hoped that these steps would help alleviate some of the problems facing the fairly recent addition • to the department.

Another difficulty facing the social studies team was the falling enrollment in - elective classes. The department was only able to offer two classes other than those already required. "It's hard for students to

schedule advanced classes in specific • areas," Myers said, "and it is forcing them to eliminate things like social studies."

Several new angles, however, have been introduced in the courses in hopes of attracting student interest. For example, several teachers have begun using classroom activities other than lectures. Lois Hansen frequently had speakers in her classes, ranging in scope from family planners to more controversial figures.

The economics classes also heard Paul Volker, Chairman of the Federal Reserve System, address their class.

In outside activities, members of the ninth grade classes took part in the County Government Day, sponsored by the American Legion. East High also sent three representatives-Preeta Bansal, Ann Harrell, and John Augustine-to Congressm a fl Bereuter's Youth Leadership Institute.

New rooms, books offer • improvement

If you were among the many students enrolled in Physics, chances were good that you did your lab work in the newly completed Physics lab room, B-117.

The new lab room was built to help with overcrowded classes. Along with the new lab, new books for Physics, Chemistry, and Advanced Biology were also in use.

No more major remodeling was planned for the 1981-82 school year, but department chairman Bob Reeder said, "In the future we'd like to improve the sinks in the old Physics room and in the biology rooms."

Both Physics and Chemistry 3 enrollment remained high, despite East's declining enrollment. The only classes that showed a decrease were first year Biology and first year Chemistry.

"We hope that we will continue to have high enrollments in our second and third year classes," said Reeder. East remained the only Lincoln school to offer Chemistry 3, Geology, Botany, and Microbiology.

For those students interested in furthering their scientific knowledge, the Future Physicians Club was a popular option. With a membership of 19, the club was the largest ever, according to club sponsor Reeder.

Reeder also hoped that in the future some type of career education will be available for students interested in Science-related fields.

Departments Swit·ched

Turnabout was fair play when the math and art departments swapped. When the •art department moved into new quarters in the D-wing, the math department took over the vacated areas, creating classrooms close to the math office, a con\ venient move for both teachers and students.

The renovations also made possible the addition of a small room specifically designed for the department's relativelynew computer program. The number of computers was expanded too.

"There is a new computer for the math students and also for career education," said department chairman Jerry Beckmann. "We also received another computer in a deal that gave each junior high a new one."

Presently there are only quarter courses offered in computer programming. But, Beckmann explained, "With all the capabilities available on the micro, much student interest has developed." As a result, a semester course in computer language and another quarter course will be offered in the future. The quarter course will be a continuation of the class presently offered.

"The kids do very well running the computers," praised Beckmann. "They have a little difficulty with the programming, but they catch on to the jargon quickly."

Dept . .seeks studio format

When school opened this fall , most people tended to look upon the moment as a beginning or an ending, depending on viewpoint. But this was not the case for the teachers in the art department. The moving of the artrooms to their new location was a b ig project for these teachers. A project which began early in the summer vacation with sorting and cleanins the old rooms, and which did not end until mid-November with the finishing touches on the new. Yet despite the work, the move was definitely for the better.

"We needed a studio approach," explained department chairperson Lynn Hershey. "The other high schools in town had one already." However," she added, "we were at the bottom of the list for renovations because we are the newest school."

The modifications, decided on by Mrs. Hershey, Dr. Bill Moss, and Lincoln Public Schools Art Consultant Roger DeVenter, have resulted in many improvements . A couple of these were that the artrooms are more open and roomier, and that supplies are more easily moved in and out on ·the ground floor.

"I also feel that there is more space on the walls where students can hang their artwork," remarked Mrs. Hershey.

The biggest change was the addition of a new darkroom accessible only to students in photography classes. (The ·darkroom in the A. V. room has become the property of the journalism students.) Also, having a new and larger darkroom allowed the number of photography classes to be expanded beyond the two courses previously offered.

Although the three new artrooms may have appeared larger than the old rooms, they were basically no different. "Perhaps with Mr. Sapp' s pottery classes there seemed to be a teeny bit more floor space," said Mrs. Hershey.

The art teachers were basically very happy with the new facilities, but there remains minor changes still to be taken care of For example, art instructor Donna Wilson is displeased with the amount of student storage provided. Yet on the whole, the renovations have brought improvement and a breath of fresh air to the art department. "I like the studio approach much better," praised senior Sheri Deford. "I feel much more independent."

Special classes develop skills

For the average Spartan, the day's schedule included a variety of academic classes, maybe some physical education, and perhaps a study hall. But for some students, the program featured one or more classes designed to shape their future. The areas they were working in? Industrial Arts and Home Economics.

"Vocational dasses are for kids hoping to make a career in that field," said Ind. ' Arts chairman. Dale Wismer, commenting on vocafional auto mechanics and vocational architecture. "It exposes them to actual working conditions, and gives them insight into how things are accomplished in industry."

Vocational classes can also give students a head start in their further education. "Some skills acquired in vocational classes can save the kids time, effort, and money in community colleges," explained Wismer "Also, the colleges often have •waiting lists, and if the student can pass the beginning classes, then he has a better chance."

In Home Economics as well, many of

the courses offered were planned to ma\{e the student's future smoother. Classes emphasized a practical application to daily living, and covered everything from foods to parenting to balancing a budget.

"It doesn't matter what career you have," explained department chairperson Rose Marie Tandi. "We know you'll have a lifestyle and will have to make personal decisions. We want the students to be prepared."

Also aimed in this direction was a new class for those who plan to live alone-Independent Living. The course is designed to help the student cope with what they will have to face in order to remain independent.

"We hope to pull in some students who have never had a Home Ee class, and suddenly realize that they will be graduating and on their own," remarked Tandi.

·so while an academic schedule proved to be a good plan, Industrial Arts and Home Economics also played a partthey were truly a lesson in practicality.

Career plans developed

"All of the business classes prepare students to go out into the working world," said Mrs. Debbie Payne, Distributive Education teacher.

Because Personal Finance was a requirement, every student got a small amount of business education, but the department had many more classes to offer.

Two new classes were introduced: "How to Get and Keep a Job," which explored the basics of working at a steady job, and "Business Management," which dealt with setting up make-believe businesses. Also, Advertising and Personal Selling were combined into a one-semester class called Sales Promotion. The students worked with the newspaper to sell and design ads.

"They will be able to see the results in print that way," assured Mrs. Payne.

Mrs. Luella Van Vleck stressed the value of typing because "it just is a practical skill, that comes in handy for term papers."

For serious business students, there were two internship programs which dealt with working outside of school. Seniors enrolled in Office Occupations were required to work in an office using their secretarial skills such as shorthand and typing. The other program was in the Distributive Ed. Department. Advanced Mar· keting involved seniors who worked in part-time jobs.

"It's a great class, because while you're working, you learn about the business, you receive class credit, and you also get paid," said Marketing student Kristi Boom.

Looking forward to next year, "the business department would like to have a computer for students to use in the bookkeeping and accounting classes as well as the typing classes," explained Mrs. Van Vleck. "While typing, one is talking to a computer while using the keyboard." She added that with a computer, students can broaden their knowledge of business machines and procedures.

New uniforms generate more spirit in band

Starting early in the morning and continuing into the night, the band began practice for the upcoming football season while most kids were still on vacations.

This dedication and spirit helped to make their year a good one, band director Mr. Duane Johnson noted.

"The spirit this year was as good or better than it has been in the past," he said.

A lot of the spirit was generated by the purchase of new uniforms. The uniforms were bought at a cost of $180 each. In addition, new drum equipment was also acquired, giving the band a whole new look.

Competition was the word most band members thought of when October came around. The two major marching contests were held just one week apart. On Oct. 17, the band competed in the Seacrest Marching Festival, and came away with a superior rating and a trophy. The following week, the band participated in the 24th annual Nebraska Marching Festival, the largest indoor marching festival in the world. The whole season came down to that night, and the rating received. When it was all over, a rating of excellent had been awarded to the "Marching 100."

Now the focus turned to concert band. For the first time, the band would be split into two separate bands, putting a lot of pressure on some band members.

Mr. Johnson explained, "The reason for splitting the band was to help the band sound cleaner, and more balanced, and to give kids more responsibility."

Many activities for the band were offered outside of class. Pep band was open to anyone involved in the music program. One of the Pep Band's activities was playing at the grand opening of the new McDonalds at 66th and "O" Streets. Solo-Ensemble Contest was also open to anyone who wanted to enter. Ratings were given to each entry based on specific requirements. East had 14 ratings of superior, the highest rating that can be given.

Senior band President, Kelli VanValkenberg commented, "In all the three years I have been in band, I have never regretted joining. Band was always an enjoyable experience, it gave me the opportunity of being in a group, and the feeling that I belonged."

New image Acquired for Stage Band

"Everything around East has a name, so we thought we would try one, " said Mr . Duane Johnson , Stage Band director, about the group ' s newly acquired name, the 70th Street Jazz.

Along with the new name, the group also had new shirts, to complete their image. The 19 members performed at such functions as the Father Daughter Dance, along with numerous other concerts throughout the year.

Competition was also a part of the busy year for the band. They competed at Waverly and Seward, along with other Stage Bands for top honors.

For those students with more "classical" tastes, Orchestra was offered fourth period. The Orchestra tried to have at least one performance a year, and at one or two, Senior members were featured as soloists.

In May, the 42 members journeyed to Nebraska Wesleyan for a clinic sponsored by the American Teachers Association. Of both groups, Mr. Johnson comm ented, "Both groups had more experienced, and better talented kids than past years."

Music al dedication

produces quality

A picnic in August for newcomers was the catalyst that enabled East Singers to become a closely knit and dedicated group.

That dedication paid off in fall , winter, and spring concerts and also in the musical, "Rock 'n' Roll" , a spoof about the life of high school students during the 1950's.

"Everyone looks forward to annual Singer's productions," said senior Pam Mulder. "The group shows a lot of energy "

A ski trip to Breckenridge in January, a city-wide contest in February, and a tour in April also helped to keep the East Singers busy.

" Singers is really exciting," commented junior member Lise Olsen. "It measures up to everything I thought it would be."

Another major project for the Singers was the Expressions concert in the early spring-an annual event featuring popular music performed by the students in the group, accompanied by student musicians. Singers 39

New requirements slow enrollment

The junior-senior chorus and the sophomore chorus both studied music to develop the singer's voice and to discipline their skills. Both classes met every day-sophomores during third period, and the juniors and seniors during fourth-to prepare for their concert performances in December and April.

Senior high vocal director, Mr. Jon Peterson, was disappointed by how the new graduation requirements were affecting the enrollment in his classes, and the sophomore chorus particularly The new requirements took priority over elective classes and students were finding that they had no time for music classes like chorus.

• But even though it took a commitment to be in chorus, it took a still more serious musical bent to be in the swing choir. The swing choir performed throughout the year for various dinner parties, luncheons , and public performances.

The swing choir was a small group consisting of twelve voices and used a combination of three accompanists. Senior Merily Goertzen noted, "Even though it takes hard work, from what I get out of it, it's worth it." ·

A good yearbook takes tjme and patience. But too much time can cause a late book and not enough patience can cause a sloppy book. That was why the Epic staff made some changes and gave themselves some new goals.

\The 1982 yearbook was thinner and had a cleaner design. Although the book was shortened by 16 pages, the reduction was offset by changes elsewhere: smaller margins and less white space.

"That way the students can get as much book as last year," said Jim Schaffer, advisor for the Epic. Ann Harrell, yearbook editor, added, "We were forced by production costs to shorten the book. But by changing the layout slightly, we were able to make up for the loss."

The staff's primary goal was to meet every deadline. Deadlines occurred about once every month, with a quota of from 16 to 70 pages.

The actual printing cost of the book was $13,000, but with the acquisition of new photographic equipment and the · usual supplies, the total cost to produce the book was well over $15,000. That was why the cost of the book was raised from $12 to $15. Even though the price was increased, it had no neg~tive effect on the sales.

"During the first quarter alone, we sold 1,100 books," said Harrell.

Changes were also put into effect on the Oracle staff. They decided to switch back to regular newsprint, rather than the white paper used the previous year. The staff also grew-25 students were on the paper second semester.

"That way we are able to put more work into producing a more interesting, attractive product," explained editor Susie Semin.

Another of this year's innovations was the introduction of the Apple computers to the journalism department. The computer was used to edit stories and to set the type.

Printing the Oracle is not nearly as expensive as the Epic, but was still a headache. Advertisements were sold to help offset printing costs and the ads staff often sold 15 or more ads per issue.

One way both yearbook and newspaper staffs sought to improve their publications was to exchange them with other schools around the midwest. Journalism students also attended the National Journalism Education Association convention in Kansas City on November 6-8.

Students delve into books and poems

Poems, short stories and all kinds of artwork were the raw materials needed for East Winds, East's literary magazine. East Winds was sponsored by Mrs. Cox, who offered the course third quarter.

The East Winds staff consisted of Jeanne Foreman, Teri Froning, Diane Griswold, Jody Howard, Jim Johnston, Emily Marcus, Lori Olson, Renee Reece, Sharo.n Walsh, Anne Garwood and Val Didrichsons. These staff members searched for interesting short stories and outstanding poems.

•

"We take each piece of work to make the publication creative," said Mrs. Cox.

Some students were able to get their ideas from the library where they found plenty of books and other resources to write up their poems.

Mr. Hammelmann, a regular in the library, said that the alarm system has helped on book theft.

Mrs. Barry, who started this year in supervising the library, felt the detector was useful. "We try to hang to on as many materials as we can so students could use them," she said.

"There were three p~ople filling parttime supervisions in what was once a fulltime position," Hammelmann said of himself, Mrs. Barry, and Mr. Heim.

The library staff emphasized fiction in their acquisition order.

"We're trying to have on hand some popular books recommended by the teachers," said Mr. Hammelmann. They also updated the reference section and added new volumes as well.

Handica pped kid s overcome obstacles

Most East students took the socia l scene for granted , but for some students that just wasn't the case. The multi-handicapped program came to Eas t in 1981 so that handicapped students could come into contact with other students their own age.

Thirty-three students were enrolled in the special education program, ranging in age from 13 to 20.

"We looked at the students ' abilities, then set goals and objectives for them. We usually chose to integrate them into regular classes for social or academic reasons," said special education instructor Polly Losh. "Often, however, class goals were modified to meet individual needs."

The special education program was previously located at Park School. It was moved to East for a number of reasons, among them being the need to establish a more permanent setting. Educators also felt that because most of East High was on one floor, that it was a fairly barrier-free building for students who had trouble getting around.

The education for the handicapped students centered around an independent living class. Students were instructed in the use of adaptive equipment and learned how to get along in the world. Academic classes were also included

Losh felt that East High • students , faculty, and administration had been extremely helpful in making these special kids feel welcome.

"We had a very supportive administration that was aware of our needs, " said Losh. "But I really have to compliment the students and teachers It takes maturity to work with these kids, and many students have shown that they had it. Also, the staff was very receptive and worked hard at making the kids feel like part of the class. "

More lifting; less driving

Being able to drive was one of the most important things in a teenager's life.

Driver's Education classes taught students how to control a car and what to look for when driving. Nothing much was changed in drivers education except that the class was available fewer periods during the day.

"Everything stayed the same this year," said Mr. Rudy Stoehr. "Why change a good thing?"

Many students got to drive the cars on the range even though there weren't very many cars to choose from. The Lincoln Public Schools rented five cars from dealers for student use.

"I learned a lot of stuff about the road and how to be a better driver," said Darryl Mattox.

Starting construction of a room and completing it in one month is what Mr. Zentic had in mind for the new weight room.

Mr. Zen tic wanted to move it to provide more room and space for the students.

"We were able to centralize the equipment to utilize classes," said Zentic.

Mr. Zentic proposed the renovation plans to Mr. •Moss and Mr. Salestrom. In turn, they requested it from the Lincoln Public Schools administration. LPS sent their own carpenters and electricians to the East High gym and completed the project.

Heckman urges high quality moments

Parents and students gathered for the annual Honors convocation on March 23 to recognize academic excellence. To be recognized for the convocation, a student must have had at least twenty credit hours of ones and twos, and no failing grades.

Speaking at the ceremony was Dr. Phillip Heckman, president of Doane College in Crete. His topic was "Time in a Bottle." Heckman urged his audience to develop high quality moments and to set their priorities in order to become better achievers.

Mrs. Darnell, Mrs. Snoberger, and Mr. Carlin then recognized the members of the sophomore, junior and senior classes, respectively. The seniors had the largest number of students on the Honor Roll with 229, followed by the juniors with 187, and the sopho~ores with 140.

Also recognized were the four Regents Scholarship winners: Preeta Bansal, Val Christy, Liz Panarelli, and Susie Semin; and the seven National Merit Scholarship Finalists: Diane Griswold, Sheri Deford, Ann Harrell, Susie Semin, Val Christy, and Kerre Dubinsky .

Sophomore Craig Upright also gave a talk on Teacher Appreciation Day, an activity sponsored by the Student Council to recognize teachers for their hard work and devotion .

The ceremony closed with a few words by Dr. Moss, commending all the students on their achievements. The group adjourned to the cafeteria for a reception with handmade cookies.

The art department also held an art exhibition in conjunction with the cere• many to let parents see the work of the students.

Changing times change seniors

No school is an island, least of all for seniors. Not all students were "news junkies," but none could help but be influenced by the exciting, sometimes shattering pattern of national and world everyts.

Seniors grew up in the midst of the race for space. For them, Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers were more reality than fantasy. Many seniors' first memory of an international event was the Apollo moon shots. During their years in school, the space program grew and developed right up to the fl~ht of the space shuttle •"Columbia."

Times were changing and so did attitudes toward women. The ERA movement helped women gain a more prominent role in society. Women turned in their aprons for briefcases and moved out of the kitchen into the office. Politically, women became more involved. Li~oln had a woman mayor; Nebraska, a woman congressman; and the United States gained its first woman supreme c·ourt justice.

The seniors also grew up in a time of fear. Assassinations of social and political figures became frighteningly frequent. In 1981, attempts were made upon the lives of President Reagan, Pope John Paul II, John Lennon, Queen Elizabeth II, and Anwar Sadat. Three survived.

But not all the changes that affected seniors made headlines. This was the first class to graduate with the new requirements. Classes like Citizenship Issues, Human Behavior, and Health were squeezed into already full schedules. The new handicapped wing made students more aware of human diversity.

The three years of hard work did pay off. Over two hundred seniors were on the honor roll, one hundred and twenty students became members of the National Honor Society and seven seniors became National Merit Scholarship finalists, equalling the highest number of students of any school in Nebraska.

National and local events all helped to shape the senior class and give them a sense of determination. The seniors became ready to make headlines of their own.

Bansal picks politics

Politics makes strange bedfellows, so the saying goes, but for Preeta Bansal, politics can also lead to a very unusual after-school job.

Bansal worked as a staff intern t wo d ay s a week for Governor Charles Thone, a job that few teenagers are offered.

"I saw Governor Thone at the Teen Republican convention," explained Bansal. "I went to thank him for the telegram congratulating me on going to Girls Nation, and he asked me to intern then."

Bansal put in eight hours a week writing

letters, opening mail, and helping around the office. "It ' s really fun," said Bansal, "you get to meet a lot of neat people."

Bansal was also president of Teen Republicans and was on the Voter Registration Commitee.

"I've always been really interested in politics and especially in the Republican party," she said.

Bansal hopes to enter into politics fulltime someday, but would like to have an appointed office instead of an elected one. With her experience, she had a great start.

Music means more to Moore

While most people think of music as just something played on the radio, Peter Moore sees music in a different light; he's a composer.

"Music has an impo rtant place in my life," Moore said. "I enjoy composing it."

Moore has been writing music since sixth grade but said he has had composition ideas since he was about four years old. His creativity has also won him several honors. As a junior, Moore won the state music competition in composition. His first choral work, Kyrie, was selected by the Nebraska Choral Directors Association in a contest for an original choral piece.

"I wanted to write a choral piece to enter in the NCDA music contest, and I felt good when mine was selected," Moore said.

Moore got to hear his choral work performed in Ralston in October when East Singers were chosen by the NCDA to perform the Kyrie for the state convention.

"I felt privileged that that many people were as kind as they were to perform it," said Moore.

Peter Moore works on perfecting a new piece of music.

Singers also had a new experience in having the composer there to add his comments and ideas.

"I thought it was really neat that we got to sing something that someone in Singers had written," said junior Monica Hans.

Moore hopes to have a career in music and would like to continue writing and performing his own music. Perhaps someday the names of Bach, Chopin, Handel, and Bernstein will have company. ·

Seniors ponder future

Getting a job and making money was a choice some seniors made. Because of the cost of college, some decided to take some time off from school to make money. Some students decided that more school wasn't for them and got jobs to support themselves.

Another choice offered to seniors was that of joining the military. All eighteenyear-old young men had to register for the draft during their senior year . Some found the military a good choice because of possible • advancement and the many job opportunities it offered.

"The military is one place that is waiting with open arms for people who want jobs," senior high counselor Jim Carlin commented

When plann ing for the future, seniors found it hard to choose from so many oppor tuniti es Some of these possibilities included furthering their education, enlisting in the military, or entering the work force. Determining future plans was a cha!-

lenge that all seniors had to face.

One of the most difficult decisions to make was which college to attend. Many things were involved such as location, cost, and quality of programs Scholarships and already having a career choice in mind helped make the decision easier for

some.

"I am going to Wesleyan because they have a strong program for the field that I plan to go into," senior Diane French said.

Dread disease strikes Senior class

A disease showed up again at East High about the time winter break came around. Most seniors were affected by it and felt its symptoms, which included being bored with school, not caring about homework, and taking the fewest number and easiest classes they could. It was called "Senioritis."

"You just want to get out and do something else besides go to school," said senior Deb Hermance. The main reason seniors seemed to not care about their schoolwork was that after thirteen years of going to school, they were tired of it.

"You don't want to do any homework, _ you just want to have fun!" said Kurstin Hammelmann. For most seniors, the year was spent doing things with friends and going to activities to see people from whom they might be separated in just one short year.

There were other sides of "Senioritis" as well, such as feeling superior to all the underclassmen. Some people in those classes saw the seniors as stuck-up, because they acted like they had control of the school. Yet, most of them understood that when they became seniors, the_y too, would be struck with that uncanny disease, "Senioritis."

There was one cure for this problem and that was, of course, receiving that diploma and starting a new life.

When most students thought of student government, their minds turned immediately to the student council. Yet there was another side to the subject which appealed to the politically minded : being a class officer.

"I've enjoyed being a class officer," commented senior class president John Augustine. "It's been a challenge, and it wasn't quite what I expected, but on the whole, I'm satisfied."

This positive attitude also appeared to be unanimous. Both vice-president Val Strombeck and secretary-treasurer Rob Bruening echoed Augustine's sentiments.

"Yes 1 I did enjoy doing it," said Strombeck. "There was lots to be done; still, we worked on it slowly but surely." Bruening agreed: "It's different-but interesting."

The senior class officers had three ambitious goals for the year. They hoped to win the Spirit Week competition and

Perhaps the official duty foremost in the minds of the officers was the responsibility of removing the debt incurred the previous year due to prom.

"We were in debt throughout the first semester," said Augustine. " However, the pressure will be taken off the younger classes. The policy was changed so that seniors will not be invited to the prom free. This removes the burden on the class finances, and allows more flexibility • the senior year."

Still, Augustine was not entirely pleased with his _role as c;:lass leader.

"If I had to do it again, I would begin

earlier to work with the administratior and the students," he remarked. "I alsc think that the administration needs tc more clearly define the role of the clas : officer. I realize that there weren't man) duties for a senior class officer , but whe, the year began, I was forced to take th, initiative."

Specific complaints aside, however, th class officers saw their jobs and their clas in a positive light. All three declared that given the chance, they would run fo office again.

" It's much more laid back than thought it would be," observed Bruenin~

Students invade "tropical" office

Decked out in sun hats and sunglasses, the office ladies set the tone for the first annual office beach party.

During second lunch Dave Owen, Val . Didrichsons, Rich Wright, John Mittelstaedt, and Jim Rogers invaded the office toting frisbees, beach towels, and two gallons of cold sand to enjoy the office's tropical warmth.

During the hour-long party, a group of spectators gathered to watch as the "Beach Bums " built sand castles, played frisbee, and "caught a few rays." Unfortunately, the live music of "Doc and the Dockettes " did not show up as planned.

Sporting a Hawaiian shirt, Jim Rogers gave his reason for participating in the gala event:

"Retaliation is my feeling," said Rogers. "The rest of the school is cold and the office is the warmest place in the building."

And, added Rogers, if the office remained the warmest place in the school, the beach party might become an annual tradition.

Right: Just because it is winter doesn't mean that Dave Owen has to stop playing frisbee The office serves just as well as the beach! Below: Val Didrich• sons brightens up his January pallor with a few fluorescent rays.

Stereo headph0neS' latest teenage fad

It seems that every year a new fad takes the school by storm. In past years such novelties as pocket calculators and class rings have been popular items, but the most recent addition to the roster is a portable set of stereo headphones.

These headphones came in many varieties and many prices. Units could be purchased for as little as $49 for a Mura AM / FM stereo, or students could invest $269 in an Aiwa combination cassette deck, FM stereo, and recorder. Other popular brands in the competition were Sony, General Electric, and Panasonic.

"I bought my headphones because I bought a new motorcycle and I still wanted to listen to music," remarked senior Stewart Lewis. "They were portable, and perfect for my needs. Besides, I was impressed with the sound."

Lewis was not alone. Most headset owners were very pleased with the quality of the stereo music, and several preferred them to more conventional stereo systems. One boy declared that "for the size

of the unit, the sound is nearly perfect."

The size of the little music boxes had a great deal to do with their popularity. Students wore them driving, skiing, sledding, to work, or "anywhere where I might get bored."

Owners disagreed over whether the populariity p henomenon would die out. Some felt that serious music lovers would quickly go back to regular stereo systems. Others believed that sales would slow, but that headphones would still be popular.

"I think they'll get cheaper with time, like anything in demand," Patti Pattison explained. "I think people will continue to buy them for the convenience."

However, the headphones met with marked disapproval among the faculty.

"I think teachers have made a point of telling their students not to wear them in class," remarked vice-principal Darwin Salestrom. Headphone owners interviewed agreed. "I don't wear them where I shouldn't," said Lewis.

Students battle "Boredom Fatigue,,

"All right class, the topic of today's lecture is going to be 'The Pythagorean Theorem for Fact and Fun' ."

Somehow it never failed that at least one teacher , no matter how many classes you had, managed to bore you to death Such discussion topics as 'The Myth and Legend behind the Fruit Fly' were enough to put any student to sleep. However, students since the dawn of time have found ways to combat classroom boredom.

Perhaps the most popular method of whiling away the time was to doodle. Random scribbling seemed to keep a multitude of people entertained during those ho-hum classes "Oh no!"

However, some people did have other things to do. Finishing homework for another class, daydreaming, and counting the squares in the ceiling all helped to pass a few moments. For the girls, staring at the cute boys in the class helped to keep them from slipping into the jaws of boredom.

Senior Betsy Wilson had an interesting way of keeping occupied.

" I go through and rethink my life," she explained. "I think of something significant from each year in the past since the earliest I can remember."

But regardless of how innovative these pastimes may have been, they will soon pass and new activities take their place. For as long a ~ there are tiresome classes, students will find a way to combat "Boredom Fatigue."

Students keep occupied during a " ho -hum " class.

Frigid winter affects the classroom

Hardy Midwesterners battled one of the coldest winters in fifty years, not only outside but inside as well. It wasn't u11common to see students sitting in their classtooms dressed in three or four layers of clothes, trying to write with mittened hands.

"The building has different temperatures in different areas," Dr. Moss explained. "Some rooms are between 58 and 61 degrees. Others are up to 70 to 75 degrees. It just depends on where they are located."

Heating equipment that didn't circulate warm air well was the main reason cited. If a classroom had an exterior wall, it was likely to be one of the coldest rooms in the building.

Students soon found out the best places to unthaw were the library, locker rooms, and the glass hallway. The eight air vents in the hallway blew warm air and many times students could be seen sitting on or by them.

The question of why the office being warmer than the rest of the building came up frequently.

"The thermostat is set at 65 degrees, which is not warmer than any other place," Dr. Moss explained. But because it is in the center of the building, is smaller, and the doors are kept closed, the heat stayed in.

Students found that there was no way

to be completely comfortable. When they dressed warmly for their colder classrooms, they were hot for their warmer ones. There was nothing to do but suffer and wait. for spring to bring some relief.

Senior Karen Weidner said it best, _ "It is so cold in here."

"Most memorable moments" vary widely

Years from now every member of the class of ' 82 will hear the same question from their children: What do you remember best about high school? Surely when that moment comes, everyone will be able to think of an answer. But when asked that same question now-as high school seniors-students already showed no signs of being stuck for a reply.

For some students, such as Jill Grenseman, the memory was of national importance.

"I remember being in Citizenship Issues and hearing that the president had been shot," mused Grenseman. "I don't think I'll ever forget that."

Or for some it was a little thing "Chemistry was memorable," stated Julie Svoboda. "Especially the labs."

Several students, such as Sue Burch and Jill Sharrar, felt that the ski trips sponsored by East Guard and band were things they would never forget.

For Liz Panarelli, her favorite memory was of the "Friends of Otis" banquet her junior year. Val Didrichsons liked to recall being in the fall play. "Especially during the terrible thunderstorm," he said. Marching in the Pershing Marching Band Contest was special for Vance Mehrens. Some students had romantic memories. One senior boy gallantly declared that meeting his girlfriend was the most important thing to him.

Jeff Ogren remembered things with an eye to the future. "Senior visitation day at Wesleyan was memorable," said Ogren.

Meg Oehring performs to the working Apollonaire music!

Inta Tigeris also looked ahead. "Graduation," she replied wistfu~ly during finals week.

Pom-pon member Meg Oehring took a practical view of the question posed. "My most memorable moment? Probably the first time the music worked for an Apollonaires routine!"

But despite the wide variety of answers given to this difficult question, perhaps one senior girl best summed up the feelings of the students when she replied, "My most memorable moments in high school have been the fun times I've had with my friends " Probably the class of ' 82 would have agreed with her.

Band member contributes ·triendship

Among the instrumental musicians at East was a talented drummer. Involved in stage band, orchestra, and a rank leader in marching band, senior J. R. McConnell was a well -known and well-liked figure in the music department.

According to band director Duane Johnson, a major reason why J. R. transferred to East as a junior was that he felt he could better work to his potential in East's music department.

More importantly, J. R. contributed a

sense of humor and a friendly smile to all he encountered.

"I never heard him say anything bad to anybody," commented Mr. Johnson.

Early Saturday morning, Feb. 27, J. R. McConnell was killed in an auto accident.

J. R.'s death was deeply felt by all who' knew him. Though his life was short in years, the friendships he formed and the warmth he spread made a wealth which many people do not acquire in a lon g lifetime. in this sense J. R.'s life was complete.

Tasmanian has a "devilish'' good time

In Bugs Bunny cartoons, a popular character has alwa,ys been the Tasmanian Devil, and although she · m ight not have been a devil, senior Amanda Harris was certainly Tasmanian. •

"I come from Herbart, Tasmania (a division of Australia), " said Harris. "Herbart's a little smaller than Lincoln."

Harris, an American Field Service student, was very supportive of the program.

"I heard about theAF S program from people who had done it before and I thought it would be fun," she commen t ed

Harris did not know what country she would be sent to. "It was between Japan, Asia, and America, and I was sent to America ."

Despite the similarities in the two countries, there were a lot of differences that Harris found hard -to adjust to

"The first month was the hardest," she said. " Everywhere you looked there was something new."

One of the major differences was in the schools. "The schools are a lot different," said Harris. "Here there are more sub-

jects and more activities to choose from. The sports are different too. There's no football and we have sailing, since Herbart is on a river ."

The people impressed Harris the most. 'The teachers were very nice and everyone was friendly and helpful," she praised. "They were very outgoing. I liked that. "

So if you are ever watching Bugs Bunny, think of Amanda Harris, the foreign student who spent a "devilish" good year in America!

Juniors are middle class

What do a yellow light, the nose on your face, the creme filling in Oreo cookies, and being a junior have in common? They're all in the middle, of course.

"Being a junior is being in the middle," said Tammy Drbal. "You look up to seniors and down on sophomores."

It seems like juniors were in the middle of everything. Most juniors had their driver's licenses, but not their own cars. Some had planned on going to college but hadn't decided where to go. Many had completed a majority of their requirements but still face difficulties in getting required classes along with desired electives.

Juniors made up a large part of both reserve and varsity teams in sports. Leads in both the musical and play were won by juniors and several juniors competed in speech contests and debate tournaments around the country.

Jobs also held high interest for many. From milking cows to serving milkshakes, the extra money which they earned helped to provide funds for outside activities.

For Todd Dinkleman, being a junior "tends to have a neoplastic effect on the psychosomatic makeup of most high school individuals."

Another junior, Lise Olsen, thinks that being a junior is "learning to deal with the positive and the negative space that makes up the karma, and getting in tune with your biorhythms to establish your own space in the universe ."

But junior Peggy Hart summed it up best. "Dances are where it's at," she said.

Top: Under the guise of studying, David Zach and Chris Ott hang out in library. Bottom: Being in the middle is perplexing for Peggy Hart.

Core palace new h8ngout

Where else can you travel in outerspace, destroy asteroids, shoot alien invaders, and see all your friends? Only at Sluggo's, the electronic game room and a whole lot more.

Sluggo's became a popular teenage hangout for many high school students. They went to Sluggo's to meet up with friends and " core" on pinball machines and electronic games.

"It's not as bad as people think because it's not the pot head kind of hangout," commented Monica Hans. Other people seemed to feel this way, too. G iris liked to go because the guys were there and also because it was a good meeting place. Another reason people like Sluggo's is because police do not park there like they do at MacDonald's.

The money angle also played an important role.

"The secret to not spending much is to not bring much," said Joe Hovorka. The average spent at Sluggo's in a given week ran about six bucks for a guy and less for girls because as one junior female put it "most girls don't play much because the guys are always in the way."

If you were really into playing the games, you could purchase a Sluggo's game card. You paid a dollar and got a free game every

time you came in to play, up to a total valuE of $8.25. After all the money was gone students usually hung out in Food VillagE or the parking lot.

Among the favorite games were Bud Rogers, Catapillar, Galaxian, . Aste• roids, Pac.M.an, C drnival, Alien Poker Tempest, and Defender. Mike Kueste1 said he liked Sluggo' s because they had , good selection and featured new game~ regularly.

Some went to Sluggo's to take ou · aggressions, or as Jeff Alford put it, "It's, way to have fun after a long day at school.'

Bill Pollock: Man behind the drawing

While most juniors were drawing stick figures with crayons, Bill Pollock was already making imaginary characters come to life.

Johnny Socko's giant robot, one of Bill's earliest creations, was a gift for Bill's buddy, Mark Fangman, when both were in the third grade. That same year Bill entered a forest fire prevention poster contest, but as he explains, "I never won because I showed the animals being killed by the fires."

Bill's off the wall sense of humor served him well when he became the Oracle cartoonist.

"His cartoons improved the looks of the paper," said Jody Wysong, staff member.

Bill learned his craft by imitating Spiderman cartoons and other adventure-style comic strips. In junior high he began taking classes to develop his talent, including drawing and printmaking.

Some of Bill's best work was truly inspired.

"It comes and goes," Bill says of his creative instinct, but added that certain classes with lots of lectures, particularly Mr. Myers' citizenship issues class, were helpful.

Spmeday Bill hopes to become a commercial artist and, if possible, a cartoonist. But he realizes economic factors come into play.

"Mommy wants me to be an architect," he says.

Modeling in New York City entices Nelson

The life of a model, jetsetting to New York City and European capitals, sounds like a dream. Yet the dream became a reality for junior Julie Nelson.

A few years ago a man at the stables where Julie kept her horse suggested that she become a model; when she turned sixteen he would take her to New York. Julie's mother didn't take the idea seriously until Julie answered a model call and a New York agent became interested, inviting her to come to Manhattan.

So Julie went to the Big Apple, meeting with photographers putting her "book" together, a portfolio of herself modeling different outfits and different expressions.

The president of the agency, International Legends, hosted Julie during her stay in New York. Julie plans to go to Milan, Italy, and to Paris to continue her modeling.

She says modeling is pretty much what she expected and, "I want to model for as long as I can."

Cheng wins state piano

Have you ever compared yourself to an older brother or sister? Have you ever wondered if you could measure up? If talent . and brains run in the family, Liz Cheng certainly measures up.

And that's not too easy to do. Margaret Cheng, Liz's older sister, was East High's first Presidential scholar and a State piano competition winner. Not only did Liz Cheng break the school's PSAT score record set by her sister, but she also won the state piano competition.

She has been competing in piano competitions since she was ten, and has been playing the piano for about ten and a half years. Her hard work paid off when she won the Nebraska Mason-Hamlin High School Piano Competition.

Four girls lead juniors

"The four of us worked hard together and accomplished a lot," said Emily Swett of the junior class officers.

Junior officers differed from other years in that there were four instead of three, and all were girls.

Through a voting rarity, Susan O'Hanlon and Amy Ottersburg were elected copresidents, while Emily Swett and Anu Bannerjee held the positions of vice-president and secretary-treasurer 1 respectively. They all decided to share responsibility and not have any one person take charge.

With Mrs. Rozanne Snoberger as sponsor, the officers held regular meetings every two weeks. Together they sponsored the Father-Daughter Dance and Junior-Senior Prom. They held ca.r washes, sold candy, and had two junior class meetings in •the auditorium. They were also in charge of decorations and skits for Spirit week.

"We tried to involve the whole Junior class instead of just certain people. Everybody really put in their share," said Emily.

They shoot blue rocks, don't they?

If guns were outlawe,d, only trapshooters would have guns. W~II something like that.

"Trapshooting is challenging and takes a lot of mental concentration, but it isn't a physical sport," said Jim Gaber. Some people wonder what traps are, but actually they are bluerocks. They're not even rocks; they are discs, and they aren't even blue, but orange.

Trapshooting is a sport where each person takes five shots from each of five stations. The bluerocks are flung from the traphouses at 40-60 miles per hour. After the first fifty shots are taken, a handicap is established. Depending on the handicap, the next fifty shots are taken from 16 to 27 yards from the traphouse.

"You don't have to try out, but the better you are, the higher your position on the team," said president Lee Sorenson. Dr. Durst and Mr. Kennedy sponsored the club.

"We have some real good shooters. We should have a good year, bring home a lot of trophies," said Mr. Kennedy.

The East High trapshooting team was forced to use their own money for travel,

food, uniforms, and shells. Mr. Sprague allowed them to sell programs and work in the concession stand to also raise some money.

Thus far, the club has been limited to boys, but is open to ninth grade on up, and "I would like to see an all girls team," commented Mr. Kennedy.

Pickering needs drama

Sometimes he was Corndoggie and sometimes Reverend Lionel Toop. Once he was Dr. Von Helsing, but most of the time he was just junior Todd Pickering.

Todd ' s multiple identities came about because he played major parts in several dramat ic productions Todd's red hair and freckles helped his versatility and made it easy for him to win many parts.

His future plans include going to a col- lege with a good drama department, and hopefully some day the live stage because as he says, "live stage seems more appealing, and I like the response."

As a sophomore Todd performed t he monologue Chamber Music , in which he portrayed a doctor's assistant, and in "The Times of Your Life," the comedydrama he placed a society gentleman.

During Todd's junior year he began to branch out. Not only did he have a large part in "See How They Run," as Reverend Lionel Toop, he also co-starred in the musical Rock n' Roll with Karen Focht in the role of Corndoggie. Most people who wanted to be in Singers had taken music

in junior high or been in private lessons. Todd, however, decided in the middle of his sophomore year, took chorus, and tried out.

Todd didn't stop there. He began competing in speech contests and drama interpretation. "There is a fine •line between acting and interpreting, it's like acting from the waist up." Todd had a part in the district winning oral interpretation, Runaways, his first dramatic role.

Drama has taught Todd many things, but the one thing he will always remember is : "Always check your fly "

Club gives students career awareness

It was never easy for students to decide what they wanted to do with their lives after college. But for those lucky few who knew that t hey wanted to become MDs, there was a special club just for them.

"The main goal of Future Physicians was to make students aware of the possibilities for careers in the health-related fields," explained club sponsor Bob Reeder. "Specifically the club catered to students who wanted to be doctors, but it was really -much broader than just that." However, Reeder did say that activities were designed with careers that required advanced degrees in mind.

The group did not have the conventional system of presidents and other officers. Rather, Reeder set up committees to organize events, with experienced students in charge.

Among the activities of the club ~ere occasional trips to Bryan Hospital and the annual trip to a university medical school. The club alternates each year between Creighton and the University of Nebraska, so that two-year members can weigh the differences. This year the group visited UN -L.

Other events included a visit from a pre-med student to learn what to expect

in college, frequent discussions on such • topics as the Hippocratic Oath, and a visit to the disease control department on East Campus.

Reeder was pleased with the membership of Future Physicians, considering the small number of students who have participated in the last few years. The Future Physicians of '82 were the largest group he had ever had in the club."I credit the success partially to myself for having gotten organized earlier in the year this time," the science teacher commented. "But I give most of the credit to the students. They spread the word and raised ~nthusia~m."

Future Physicians:

Faculty sponsor Dr. Bob Reeder , Donya Thorne , Peggy Chou, Katie Pocras, Susan Burch , Anu Banerjee , Meg Gehring, Val Christy , Gary Heiserman, and Mark Zieg.

N

ew group offers executive training

"We didn't force them to dress like Gentlemen's Quarterly," declared club president Dave Kohrell. "We want them to dress in what they feel is right and appropriate."

Despite •the name, the Gentlemen's Quarterly Club was not designed to promote the preppy look among the young men of the school. Rather, according to Kohrell, the purpose was to "teach young men about the role of a young executive in today's business world."

"We felt that we could all work on something to gain a better understanding of life after high school," added Kohrell.

Because the club did not receive a charter until the middle of the year, they were not able to do many activities. However, several events were planned. The group of young men organized a male escort service for the remaining dances of the year. "Strictly honorable, of course," insisted Kohrell. Other affairs considered were an inaugural ball on April 23 in conjunction with the Student Council's talent night.

"We also hope to begin a little sister program," said Kohrell. "That would be a • way for club members to escort females to club activities and bring the girls into the group."

Gentlemen's Quarterly also had a tentative plan to travel to Kansas City in the spring. "We feel that Kansas City is one of the cultural spots in the Midwest," explained Kohrell. "With all of its museums and theaters and such, we feel that it would be a good place for our members to learn and grow." •

Other officers included: John Jewett , vice-president; Peter Moore, financial consultant; John Tomlinson, colonel of the regiment; and Frank Trani, press attache. Faculty sponsors were Steve Rector, Ed Kemble, and Dwain Myers.

"Looks

like we made it"

Remember the fourth grade? Watching those gigantic high school students walk home from school-the girls wearing their cheerleading outfits, and the boys gathered with their football buddies, just like a scene out of the Brady Bunch Back then, everyone secretly dreamed of having homework like the big kids did.

Well, grade-school ends, and high school became a reality for sophomores. But, luckily, many refused to give up their high hopes and goals-those same hopes that used to be considered mere childish fantasies.

Sophomores quickly jumped into the swing of things. They became involved in sports, modeling, dancing, horse shows, art, acting , journalism, singing, and even politics.

Being on the speech and debate team suddenly became the new craze, and a total of 150 sophomore girls joined Spirit Club. Student Advisory Board (SAB) members kept themselves busy, what with the new smoking rule and the possibility of dropping the Citizenship Issues requirement, to name only a few of their projects

Many were a little nervous coming into the tenth grade since that's the year everyone's grades start to count, but most people seemed to find the time to join at least a few activities. For those not interested in joining clubs, tenth grade was the time when many were old enough to hop in their car and drive to Sluggo's pinball parlor at East Park Plaza. There were even a few people wise enough to stay home and work on their homework, or go hunting for that perfect job.

Painting the town blue!

Spooks and jailbirds highlighted the fifth annual Sophomore Blue and White Night ,on October 8.

The event, sponsored by the Senior High Student Council, was meant to introduce the sophomores to some of the clubs and activities at school.

The Drama Club gave the sophomores a haunted house, and Orchestra set up some rounds of classical chairs. DECA put up a lollipop booth, a~d Art Club a bodypainting stand. International Club had a :kissing booth, while Future Physicians offered a stretcher race. Through it all, German Club sold pastries, while the Student Council kept the concession stand going. Topping the bill, though, were a punk band, a pie-in-the-face booth, a basketball throw, and the jailrun.

Everyone smiled when a small Julie Kirk won a large $70 East High jacket. They

enjoyed seeing Scott Crimmins, Steve Kirk, Brad Beckenbach, and Gary Reichmuth carry Molly Hayden in the stretcher race, and Phil Workman pay Jeff Smith's way at the kissing booth : But all of this was nothing compared to Tom Viessman sitting in jail for half an hour, Devika Seth going to the French-kissing booth (run by the French Club), and Diane George walking around with an Indianstyle pattern painted on her face.

One of the more popular activities was the jail, run by the Apollonaires. The idea behind the jail was for those "so-called friends" to pay an Apollonaire a quarter, so they could chase that person and put him in jail. Once a sophomore was jailed, they had three choices-(1) pay fifty cents to get out; (2) wait in jail for ten minutes; or (3) run out when nobody was looking.

John tackles a dream

For most sophomores, becoming a starter on the varsity football team was just a dream. But for sophomore John Strasheim, that dream became a reality. Strasheim was not a starter, but when senior Jeff Mach was moved to another position, Strasheim became the starting offensive tackle. But being on the football team wasn't just all fun. Strasheim spent

two to three hours every night practicing with the team, then doing homework in his spare time. He said the hard work and practice was worth it, because he hopes to continue with sports in college.

"There was a big change in varsity football," John said. "The play is much faster, the team is stronger and, most importantly, everyone is more experienced."

Right: The double sevens proved to be pretty lucky for John Strasheim when he made the varsity football team

C raig speaks right up

Competition in Washington D.C. on National History day was fast and furious, but it was Craig Upright who came in second place overall with his speech.

Craig became interested in speech and debate as a freshman, and it's a hobby he takes seriously. When preparing for a speech tournament he spends up to five hours a week writing or practicing his speech. That often left little time for watching television after his homework was done.

Craig says he's still learning the three

things needed to be successful in speech: "You've got to be devoted, docile, and eager to learn." All of this hard work should pay off, since Craig is planning on going into law for his future occupation.

Being only human, Craig sometimes gets discouraged at tournaments, but then he just makes up his mind that he's going to try better the next time.

"The awards you win are just the frosting," Craig said, "it's the fun you have and the friendships you make that count."

A matter of life -or diet

Actresses Candice Bergen and Liz Taylor started their own careers as models, and one East High sophomore hopes to copy that pattern.

Bryson Watson feels she has the ambition and self-discipline to make it as an actress, even though that means being willing to go on diets, wearing some pretty tacky clothes, or even getting a strange hair-cut.

As a freshman, Bryson took part in a fashion show at Ben Simon's. She also took debate class-which helped her out

with her speaking techniques. And in April, she went to New York City to see what big-time modeling was really like.

After high-school, Bryson hopes to attend Northwestern University to further her acting career. Her family is behind her all of the way.

"It's really kind of funny," she said, "since my family didn't take my modeling seriously when I first got started. But they seemed pretty excited about taking me to New York City last April, and hiring a photographer!"

Right: No, Bryson Watson was not in a time warpeven canons and ante-bellum dresses have a part in her modeling!

Nancy Eno was not one to take her ballet, toe, tap, and jazz lessons lightly. Nancy spent 4-5 hours every week at dance classes and recitals, and it didn't seem to stop there-her interest in dance even spilled over into her school schedule, where she took aerobic dance. Music is a big part of Nancy's life, and ever since the age of four, when she first learned to dance, she's used music as a means of forgetting her problems. At times, it was a little hectic trying to

find enough time to do homework, but she still managed to come out with top grades.

Nancy has been in eleven recitals, not to mention her performances in Hops (two times), Oklahoma, Annie Get Your Gun, and The Nutcracker (once at the Omaha Ballet, and twice at the Lincoln Community Playhouse). Nancy realizes 1 that the competition is tough for jobs in dancing, so she doesn't plan on making a career out of it, but the self-discipline she has developed from her dancing should help her out in whatever she decides to do.

Left: In Mrs Salyards aerobic dance class, Nancy Eno waits for her dance instructions.

Susie swung s\Neetly

Although it was only Susie Gillette's first time to compete in state, her gymnastics made her look like a veteran. Jody Wysong , the team manager, said "Just the way Susie was able to compete as a sophomo re shows how much potential she really has!"

Susie wasn't very old when she first saw Olga Korbut's inspiring performance in the 1972 Olympics on television; that's when she got interested in gymnastics, and according to the poll on page 99,

Susie just might make it to the Olympics herself. But, according to her, gymnastics is not in her future plans, except for maybe being on the Nebraska University team while in college.

Susie hopes to go into some kind of business after college, and she feels the · competitiveness she's gotten since being on the team should prove helpful. Susie's favorite part about gymnastics was the unity of the team.

"Tournaments make it all worthwhile"

Robyn Bishop and Danny King may be only sophomores, but in the eyes of their opponents, they loom much larger. Robyn Bishop and Danny King are debaters. They began in ninth grade, and became partners as sophomores.

"Debate requires hard work," said King. The duo had tournaments almost every Friday in such places as Iowa, Nebraska, and occasionally South Dakota.

"It had a lot of benefits," commented Bishop. "I met a lot of people and I've learned a great deal." Bishop went to two summer workshops in California and Utah. King traveled to Northwestern University in Chicago to watch and learn. They also plan to go to California in February and again during the summer.

Together the pair won first and fourth places at the Greater Omaha League of Debate. At Ottumwa, Iowa, King placed first and Bishop third in oratory. They competed as junior varsity most of the time and occasionally as champs.

"Tournaments make it all worthwhile," remarked Bishop.

Above: Although knighted only with more knowledge and high school success, Robyn Bishop and Danny King used debate as a means of "pawndering" over some of life's questions

And they did it with class

Nothing could go wrong for the sophomore class while in the capable hands of the officers Craig Upright (president), Jenny Chou (vice-president), and Shane Tews (secretary/treasurer).

Being a class officer wasn't a very prestigious position, according to Shane Tews. It's a lot of hard work without much gratitude, she said.

The officers had a definite disadvantage considering that sophomores entered East High from several different junior highs. Shane Tews chuckled "It's hard to represent your class when you don't know who half of the people are!"

Craig, Jenny, and Shane were responsible for the selection of the sophomore skit during Spirit Week, thus the popular television show "The Greatest American Hero" was soon revised to "The Greatest American Spartan."

For some, SAB was "sure a blaSt"!

To the surprise of many, Student Advisory ·Board · members really did do a lot more than just gripe. The club was formed in 1980 to gather opinions from people in different groups. Some people in Student Council took it as an insult that a new committee (SAB) was formed and duplicated their own responsibilities. Other people felt that the organization's members only joined so they could miss out on some of their classes, since it met every other Tuesday, and rotated between second, third, fourth, and sixth periods.

Val Christy (president), Preeta Bansal (vice-president), and Jody Wysong (secretary) led the group into a very productive year. Their biggest accomplishment was their recommendation of raising the required number of high school activity points for membership on National . Honor Society two points to eight. SAB also came to a decision on handing out questionnaires in citizenship issues at the end of every semester, in ord er to decide

if the class ~hould be continued in the future. Other discussions included a parking lot for motorcycles, and changing the smoking rule.

Shawna Nims, a ninth grade member, summed up SAB. "The project; we deal with se~m to reflect back really well to the whole student body," she said.

Right: Realizing he still had his junior and senior years to go at East High, Tom Viessman remained alert to the discussion about activity points that was going on around him.

Alligators begin to tire

Every yearbook, regardless of aesthetic quality, is dated. Most often it is dated by the clothes in the pictures. In the fifties it was poodle skirts and leather jackets. In the eighties it was preppies and punkers. When the new fall wardrobes began to appear, it appeared to be the year of the preppy and the Izod company was at the head of it. Alligator emblems popped up on tennis visors, socks, and everything in between.

However, this group did not have the field entirely to itself. Soon punkers were everywhere.

A fashion observer could easily spot a punker. Many of them had cut their hair short in front, long in back, and sticking straight up on top. Their clothes tended towards wild and bright colors. Oh yes, and occasionally their stylistic haircuts

were dyed with streaks of blue, yellow, green, red, or purple.

The preppies, on the other hand, were more conservative and practial. A young male preppy sported short-sle eved lzod shirts, white shoes, and dress slacks, while girls wore monogrammed sweaters, plaid skirts, khaki slacks, topsiders, and nearly anything with an alligator on it.

Around mid -year, however, both the punk and preppy styles had begun to "wear" themselves out. The lines separating these groups began to blur and alligators and dyed hair began to fade away. These fads started down the road already traveled by the "Annie Hall" look, disco, and country western, and trend-conscious students ·began to look ahead to see what the next season would bring.

Freshmen produce successful teams

Ninth grade Spartan sports teams gave a respectable showing for themselves, although no t eams won outright city championships.

The freshmen heavyweights, coached by Greg Bauer, had a good season with a 4-2 record. Their only nemesis was Lincoln High School, from whom they received both · their losses. The lightweights, coached by Arlen Albert, had a little trouble, though, winning only one game.

"Our record was far from outstanding and not one person in our program is happy about that but this is just the beginning," Coach Albert said. But he added, "We have much to be proud of. We were known as the hardest hitting lightweight team and we never gave up."

Wrestlers claim city

Two city championships highlighted the winter sports season. East claimed the city title in wrestling and tied for the top spot in boys basketball. Two other teams compiled winning records.

The ninth grade wrestling team did an outstanding job by winning the city meet. They -finished with 167½ points, more than 20 points over the second place team. Brad Kelley was one of five city char:nps, but only had to wrestle once.

"I wanted to wrestle more matches because I wanted to feel like I earned it more," commented Brad Kelley, who had only one opponent in his weight division.

The boys varsity basketball team also had an excellent season, finishing with a 7-1 record. Their only loss was to Pound Junior High.

"I thought we could have stood some improvement. Not everyone played to their full ability ," said Kent George. •

The boys reserves completed the season with a 5-3 record.

The girls varsity basketball team seemed to have some trouble as they won only two of their eight games.

"I thought it was a good experience and it was a lot of fun. We needed a lot more work, but I enjoyed the season," said varsity player Linda Weyand. .

The girls reserve basketball team started off on the wrong foot by losing their first two games, but they came back strong to win the rest. They ended the season with a 5-2 record.

"I thought reserves had a great season considering we lost the first two games," said Kris Barry.

Vicki Domina had an additional comment about the reserves' season. "We learned a lot during the season and we had a lot of fun."

Chorus show brightens spring

A song can put some life into just about anything and that was just what the junior high chorus classes did with their spring show entitled "Songs of Life."

The eighth and ninth grade chorus classes, directed by Mrs. Pat Kaltenberger, entertained an appreciative audience of parents and students on April 6 with a medley of twenty popular tunes.

A four-member band which included Carey Langer, Jenny Amend, Doug Helm, and Jim Rogers provided the accompaniment.

"Songs of Life," the theme of the show, was chosen from several ideas submitted by students. "Songs of Life" was written by Neil Diamond and first appeared in the moive The Jazz Singer

Student services Council obligations

Although many people wanted to be on student council, to be able to claim the glorious prestige , few people really knew what the student c ouncil ' s purpose was. The answer is the junior high student council was there to serve the students. Whenever someone had a question or a suggestion they wanted aired , they approached the student council.

President Tonja Holder commented, "Student council was mainly concerned with positive projects and activities that would reflect well on everybody in the school and the community."

The student council involved themselves in such things as dances, assemblies , and special p~ojects such as school beautification.

This year's student council was sponsored by Loy Marotz and Cheryl Smith. The main officers were President Tonja Holder, Vice President Leslie Christensen, Secretary Michele Booth , and Treasurer Vada Gullet.

Singing interesting pastime

For the average junior high person , choosing an activity was often confusing and difficult. But for the musically inclined, Swing Choir or Illusions were obvious choices.

Requirements were fairly easy to meet for the coed group of six boys and six girls in the junior high swing choir. They had to be able to dance , sing , and perform Illusions, on the other hand, was an allgirl swing choir made up of twelve girls from the eighth and ninth grades.

Performances were given throughout the year at churches and civic functions. · "Not every performance went as well as planned ," admitted Carin Harris . "But they were usually very good. "

Chess club members compete for pride

Think ing, planning and risking are what the game of chess is all about. And that's what the chess club did every Wednesday after school.

Mr. Rodney Heim, sponsor of chess club, had his members compete in meets and tournaments. They played Lincoln High on January 20 and won, 8 games to 7.

"There were no prizes awarded to winners, just the honor of winning," Heim said.

Chess Club members included: Craig Herzinger , Scott Wise, Greg Dubinsky , Mike Maie, Paul Ho, Chris Vogt, Bob Splinter, Rod Winter, Chris Ott , Sonja Potts , Todd Vanderbenck, Doug Hundt, Eric Buelemann , John Tridle, and Kim Surkan.

CPR technique favorite health topic

When eighth graders talked about life savers, they weren't always talking about candy.

Many eighth graders learned CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) as a life-saving technique in their health class.

CPR meant a number of different

t h Schneider performs the !ifesaving technique of C.P R.

things: mouth-to"-mouth breathing, care for obstructed airways, closed heart massage, follow-up care, and prevention of heart attacks.

"CPR is 70 % effective if the person is doing it correctly," said Ed Craren, a health department worker. About 3,000

people take the training each year in Nebraska and it is both necessary and useful for everybody to have, he said.

Health teacher Lynn Young commented on the student interest. "It seemed to be everyone's favorite unit," he said.

Staffs race for scoops

The race to get that front page story first was sometimes a problem for the junior and senior high newspaper staff members

The competition between the junior and senior high was an everyday problem that the students learned to cope with. Being a member of the junior high newspaper staff was a step toward preparing a student interested in the journalism field •

The junior high staff members covered topics that affected or involved the junior • high student body. Sports, dances , and special hobbies were some of the stories covered

The goal to inform the student body of the latest news was a goal well met by the

two staffs Although the two papers had many traits which were similar there were a few points on which they differed. One difference was that junior high staff members rotated positions with each issue, whereas the senior high held one job for the entire year. This policy in the junior high allowed students to become experienced in the different facets of the paper. Also the junior high was not allowed by the Board of Education to print ads

Mr. Schaffer, faculty sponsor and advisor, praised the young journalists. "They are a great group ," he said. "I hope that many of them will become Oracle staff members in the future."

Junior High: Eighth 125

War experience stands in good ·stead

He controlled the school. His decisions affected you. This man was Loy Marotz , the East Junior High principal.

He has been working in the school system since 1970, and, he says, "I really enjoy it."

Mr. Marotz worked his way up to principal by starting in the system as a teacher. He later worked as a counselor before assuming the title of administrator. Marotz commented that he likes kids, and

Vietnam vet Loy Marotz cl)anged his green tatigues for the tailored suit of school administration

he wanted to work with students between the ages of 11 and 14.

"It's an exciting time in their lives," he - rema~ked

Prior to becoming a part of the East faculty, Mr. Marotz worked at Whittier Junior High. He said he enjoys East because of the combination of junior and senior highs in one building.

Also at East with Mr. Marotz were his wife, a social studies teacher in the junior

high, and his son Chris, a seventh grader.

"It doesn't bother me to have them here," he smiled. "I like it."

Mr. Marotz's job included patrolling the halls and trying to insure that the school had the best staff available.

Mr. Marotz also spent time in Vietnam, and was a platoon leader for 10½ months. He learned his war tactics well during that period of time-so don't try and get away with anything at this school.

Moving up creates varied changeE

When a student moved from one grade into another, many changes took place. But perhaps none was so drastic as the · switch from sixth to seventh grade. And with that step up into the junior high, many students were forced to alter their way of thinking. Suddenly the routine of going to school was not the same.

"There isn't any recess in junior high," exclaimed one student, Spencer Ebeler.

"And they are more strict here than they were in elementary school," added a classmate. But not all of the changes noticed were negative. Most of them were in a more positive vein.

"There is more freedom here," commented seventh grader Tim O'Hanlon. His friend agreed. "1:"hey let you chew

gum in some classes."

Students also felt that there was an increase in the amount of homework, and that there was much more variety in the menu at lunch time.

On the whole, seventh graders seemed to enjoy the switch into the larger school, despite what misgivings they may have had during the summer.

Jenn Cognard felt that she would rather be in junior high than back in sixth grade. "This beats sixth grade. Here it is bigger, with more privileges."

Another student said that it was nice not to be around one teacher all of the time like in elementary school, because sometimes the student and teacher didn't get along very well in such a close rela-

tionship. None of the students questione 1 felt that it was a letdown to become th youngest ones in the school again On boy stated that it was fun to feel like a pat of the senior high as well-by attendin things like basketball games and an occ, sional pep rally.

These newcomers to the world of Eaf High were not intimidated by their contac with the senior high either. "We had hear that we would be terrorized by the oldE kids," explained one girl. "But that jw isn't the case."

Change for some people meant a bot} ersome adjustment. But for these new ju1 ior high students, variety was the spice < life.

Junior high offered schedule options

Perhaps the required load of classes in the seventh grade may have seemed like a lot to a ninth grader, but to the seventh graders fresh from elementary school and the regimented day they followed there, it seemed like a breath of fresh air.

"The day goes faster when you are taking classes that you like," explained Tim O'Hanlon . " Before you had no choices. "

Jenn Cognard agreed with him. " When you can choose your own schedule, you can begin to follow your specific interest. "

mann felt that the students were allowed to take a good number of their own choices

"Depending on whether they took six or seven hours a day , and how they treated science, they could have taken up to five semesters of electives in their first year in junior high, " he said However, not all of the students took the best advantage of their chance

" It is a little frustrating for the·m to have to make so many choices," commented Zimmermann "There aren't any electives

which they couldn ' t postpone for a year or two, but they felt that they have to do it all at once in the first year ."

Students did not agree on whether or not their parents had a voice in their decisions.

Reputations, friends influence students

Have you ever known a student who wanted to take a class, then changed his mind because a friend had said that the teacher was too hard?

In almost every school there was a teacher that had a bad reputation. That reputation could even force students to ponderoverthethoughtthattheteacher had forgotten what it was like on the other side of the desk-to be a student. Or perhaps students thought that the teacher was just too old to remember what it was like to be young and couldn't understand kids.

In fact, if the teacher had a bad reputation with many of the kids, it might cause

the students not to take the class in order to avoid them.

"The reputation had a lot to do with my decisions-it contributed a lot to the classes I chose to take," explained Sheri Neeman. "And of course my friends played a part too ."

Many students chose to take classes based on whether or not they could be assured of friends who would be there as well. But not all people felt that way . "Sometimes it is good not to be in the same class with your friends so that you can get acquainted with other people," commented Heidi Barry.

Of course, some students didn't listen

to the opinions of their friends when deciding what courses to take. Many chose to seek out the better teachers on their own.

"I look for a good teacher because if I don't I might have trouble with the class," was Tom Hamilton's thought. "But," he • smiled, "it's nice to be with our friends too."

Other factors which influenced students' choices included availability during the day, parents, and interest in the subject. But on the whole, students were looking for just one thing in their classes-a class they could be comfortable with.

Homecoming dreams come ,true

"You Make My Dreams" turned out to be a fitting theme for this year's homecoming after the Spartans defeated the Southeast Knights 21-7. It took five years for this dream of victory to come true. Although the Spartans have seen many successful seasons and one state championship, they had not been able to subdue the Knights. However, it was not necessary to be a member of the football team to have a dreamy evening. The homecoming dance was also a complete success, due to many hours of planning. The homecoming committee held meetings after school, arranged for the royalty's gifts, the decorations and the band. The music was provided by a local band, "Special Edition," which kept the dance on upbeat notes all night.

At 11:30, the 1981 Homecoming royalty were announced This year's king and queen were Ann Bliss and Kevin Vermeer.

Productions performed professionally

State championships were rare enough , in sports but the drama department pushed the athletic teams to the sidelines when they won the state · one-act play competition.

"Runaways," the story of nine kids who run away from home, was East High's entry in the state championships at Kearney on January 29. The 30-minute play \ fea tu red several short scenes in which the characters gave their reasons for leaving home and discussed how they were trying to cope with the adult world.

"It's a neat experience playing someone like Nicky who was run away," said Anne Garwood. "The play choices this year were varied and each play had outstanding qualities which made them fun to be in."

Other cast members of "Runaways" included Mary Watts, Steve Schwalm, Bryceson Watson, Craig Smith, Anna Stewart, Todd Pickering, Vanee VanVleck, and Tom Viessman. The play was directed by Carol Scott.

Miss Scott chose the fall play, "See How They Run," because it had welldefined characters and was full of action. The three-act play was Miss Scott's first at East.

"See How They Run" revolved around a prudish old maid (Anne Garwood) who is in love · with a married reverend. Also involved are the reverend's uninhibited wife, an escaped convict, and several others masquerading as priests.

The cast included Vanee VanVleck, Anne Garwood, Todd Pickering, Susie Kubert, Craig Smith, Chris Kelley, Randy Palmer, Tom Viessman, and Val Didrichsons.

Left: Anne Garwood swoons while Todd Pickering laments over her health Below left: Bryceson Watson offers Craig Smith a light in the One-Act Contest entry "Runaways."

Girls excercise right to a good time

The theme was new, but the idea was as old as the hills that Sadie Hawkins came from. "Sadie goes to New York" was the theme of the Sadie Hawkins dance; flashing disco lights and disc jockeys added to the setting.

The theme change was made "to attract more people and change the image of Sadie Hawkins," said junior Debbie Blad, president of International Club which sponsored the dance.

Another opportunity to ask that special guy for a date was the Turnabout dance held on February 12. Taking a date to dinner and then to the dance was a popular choice for most girls.

"It's a great opportunity to find out what a guy goes through when he asks a girl out," said senior Julie Beranek.

"Rock-n-Roll" gives rollicking good time

"I enjoyed this year's musical because it was something no one else had ever tried," said Jon Peterson, director of East High Singers. "I also put some of my own experiences into it since I lived through that era."

Rock-n-Roll takes place in the S0's when the 'perfect society' was really starting to roll. Ike was president, the Dodgers were a New York team, and Elvis Presley was the greatest thing that had happened to music since Frank Sinatra.

Every boy's dream was to take out the school sweetheart. This is what Corndoggie, portrayed by Todd Pickering, does when he asks the girlfriend of the high school football hero to the prom. Corndoggie dreamt that if he went to the prom, a calamity would occur, so he stands her up. Poor Betsy Lou cries Alone on Prom Night. Eventually the romances are untangled, the football team victorious, and Mannfred and company had their Eats at Pop's Pop Shop.

One of the other opportunities the musical provided was a chance to dance. "I thought the choreographer was great and I had fun learning the parts," commented senior Tamim Al-Timimi.

The musical also left a lasting impression on its audience. Monica Hans, junior, who played a member of the gang seemed to think so.

"For several weeks after the show people would come up to me and say, 'You were a part of the gang, weren't you?', or they would say 'Yeah!' like I did in the show. I'm pleased they seemed to like the musical."

Dances offer tradition, controversy

For the ninth consecutive year, the Father-Daughter Dance gave daught~rs a chance to take their dads for a night out.

Stage Band provided music from the "toe-tapping 40's" to the present. Generations gaps were obvious, but daughters made an effort to learn waltzes and polkas, and fathers tried some dances from the 70's and 80's.

One lucky father, Jack Wilson, had been invited to all nine Father-Daughter dances but Mr. Wilson attended his last dance this year with his youngest daughter, Betsy. In 197 4 he went to his 'first dance with his eldest daughter Sally when she was a sophomore and went three times with middle daughter, Ann.

' 'I think my dad has enjoyed every dance he's gone to because it gave him a chance to be with us girls, and we've enjoyed taking him," said Betsy.

Next year the tradition will be broken as Mr. Wilson is out of daughters and hi~ son John will only be a ninth-grader.

Another traditional dance that took place was the Winter Wonderland Dance.

"I think this year's Winter Wonderland Dance was the best ever. The decorations were great, especially the Christmas tree," said Belinda Geier.

The decorations for the music were provided by Senior High Students Council members, for the dance on December 18. Santa Claus made an appearance at the dance and boogied with many good little boys and girls to the music of Jetstream.

Although the dance was held in the midst of controversy over Christian beliefs and the religious connotations some felt signified, attendance was good and Santa promised the return next year.

'Soap' gains victory for junior class

Despite valiant efforts in the Hazzard County and an attempt to become a Spar : tan hero, the best Spirit Week operation took place at Spartan General.

All three classes took their themes from popular television programs. The sophomores used a spin-off of a new fall hit, "The Greatest American Hero." The juniors' idea came from a popular soap opera, "General Hospital." The seniors' choice from the television listings was "The Dukes of Hazzard," a fast-paced show set in the laid-back country.

The junior class put their combined efforts to great success with an original theme for their skit and decorations. Tongue depressers, cotton balls, and a few red crosses helped to carry out their theme in the south hallways.

The other classes were not without spirit, though. The seniors made their own· special kind of spirit with the Duke boys to help the "Seniors of Hazzard." The sophomores took a leap at becoming "The Greatest American Spartan."

Other Spirit Week activities revolved around dress up days. Some of these were Punk Day, Scrub Day, Your Favorite Teacher Day, and 7:50 Day. More than half of each class's members seemed willing to participate.

Responses to Spirit Week and its effects were varied. "Usually juniors get the most out of it," said senior Ann-Lacy. "Seniors are usually tired of it and the sophomores don ' t really know how to create and carry out a theme."

Mrs. Darnell, a counselor, had mixed feelings about Spirit Week. "I think the idea is a good one, but I'm not sure if the way we go about it is. It seems there should be more bringing the classes together rather than having them in competition with one another."

Spirit sessions offer new diversions

Whether it was the best way to spread school spirit before a game, or a pleasant break from routine, pep rallies were a vital part of generating excitement for East High sports.

The varsity cheerleaders were responsible for planning and producing a successful pep rally. Ideas for pep rallies came from a variety of places such as summer clinic, cheerleaders that had attended other camps, and some were based on tradition. Traditions died hard, so once again twelve ordinary basketball players became cheerleaders for one pep rally. There was also the traditional Homecoming rally for alumni and the announcement of royalty.

"Planning a pep rally may not seem like too hard a task to most people, but you take a real gamble trying to predict what will be funny to a whole student body when your only gauge is fourteen girls," commented varsity cheerleader, Gerrie Switzer.

Students who regularly attend pep rallies seemed .to have an overall positive attitude. Junior Karen Irvine remarked "I think they have improved since last year, but I still wish a wider range of sports and athletes were recognized.

'Miracle Worker' challenges actors

Unusual sound cues, grueling stage combat and the convincing portrayal of the blind were some of the difficulties that had to be surmounted in the production of the spring play.

The play was presented March 25-26 to a receptive audience. 'The Miracle Worker' is based on the childhood of Helen KellerJ from the time she goes blind as a baby until she says her first word at the age of twelve. Helen was also a deaf-mute, but through the aid of a wonderful teacher, Annie Sullivan, she learned to speak and understand symbols tapped into her hand.

One scene in the play involved a flashback sequence where a voice was heard offstage. The timing of the tape had to be exact so that the voice was heard properly onstage.

Actors also had to learn new techniques of stage combat. Both Helen's mother and Annie Sullivan hit Helen repeatedly Stage combat is designed so that no one gets hurt, but if it is not done carefully with precise timing, someone can be injured.

The part of Helen Keller, played by Beth Gonzales, was very demanding in even more ways.

"It took so much concentration to stay in character during the fight scenes and to always keep in mind that I was blind," she said.

Energy sparks enthusiasm from within

"A major goal of Spirit Club is to promote spirit in all the activities of the school," said Tracy Armagost, Spirit Club President.

Comprised of 150 members, Spirit Club supported sports activities, handed out programs during plays, and helped organize the Homecoming dance.

Spirit Club members earned points by making signs promoting special activities like plays, speech night and dances, and also by attending sports activities.

A Spirit Award was given at the end of each season to the girl with most spirit.

"Enthusiasm keeps Spirit Club interesting, and we really had a lot of spirit this year," said Lora Kemble, Secretary.

"This year there's more unity between sophomores and juniors," said junior Jenny Anderson. "We get along better and get more things done."

Pep club officers were Tracy Armagost, President; Denise DuBois, Vice President; Lora Kemble, Secretary; Cyndy Wood, Treasurer; and Marche Steven, Head Squad leader.

Sponsors included Mary Butler, Jerry Trimble and Ann Barry

Cooperation from all gives squad unity

"Cheerleading takes a lot of work and cooperation on everyone's part," said head cheerleader Patti Pattison, "but it's a lot of fun as an individual anq as a squad."

The 14 girls came together as a group during the summer, and after winning blue ribbons and spirit sticks at clinic in Ames, Iowa, they were more than ready to support teams here at school. •

In order to finance their many activities, the squad sold placemats and candles, decorator canisters of candy and popcorn, held car washes, worked in the concession stand, and sold carnations for the holidays. This money was used for buying materials for locker signs, door signs, and other good-luck gifts for all of the teams.

They also held pre-game dinners for inter-city cheerleaders. However, due to restrictions imposed by the administration, they had to cut down on activities that might. interfere with the cheerleader's schoolwork. For example, they were not allowed to decorate the players' bedrooms as had been done in previous years, because it was so time-consuming.

The cheerleaders did have a successful year but sometimes had to break out of a stereotyped image.

Squad member Gerrie Switzer commented, "When you're lumped together in a group, it's hard to be considered an individual no matter what else you're involved in."

Returning Porn-Pons set the pace

"We couldn't have done it without the three returning Apollonaires! We would have been unprepared and just plain scared to perform," commented senior Anna Stewart.

Anna was referring to Heather Inman, Shauna Jageman and Roxanne McArthur, the first two-year Apollonaires. A new ruling allowing juniors on the Porn-Pon squad enabled some members to serve twice.

Seven seniors and five juniors made up the Porn-Pon squad.

"We're close friends and equal in all the decision making," said Stewart. "There isn't anyone who dominates."

The three veteran girls taught the new squad routines and with their help, the Apollonaires left their mark at the summer clinic held in Kansas City. The squad received the most blue ribbons (24) and was ~unner-up for the Award of Excellence. Shauna Jageman won the prestigious Miss Celebrity Award which qualified her for the NCA Porn-Pon Squad.

Besides performing at East High's pep rallies and sports events, the Apollonaires appeared at the Shrine Parade; the opening of the new MacDonald's and per· formed during some Wesleyan and UNL basketball games.

"We're trying to change our image," commented the girls. "We practice both before school and during second period. And we're getting along great with the cheerleaders."

The Apollonaires have become a uniq ue squad in Lincoln because they perform jazz and pom-pon routines, whereas the other schools have drill teams. However, next year, the squad will become part of the band and will march and perform drill • routines.

Supporting clubs provide enthusiasm

In every high school, the main purpose for many of the groups was to provide ' school spirit and enthusiasm. East High was no exception. Three such groups of Spartans were the Reserve Cheerleaders, The Flag Corps, and the Twirlers.

For" the Reserve Cheerleaders , dedication was the key to success. A dedication which paid off when the squad won three blue ribbons and spirit sticks, and received a nomination for an excellence award during the clinic they attended at Iowa State University in August. In order to raise the funds to send them to the clinic, the girls sold placemats and held bake sales. Other activities included making door signs for reserve sports members, cheering at reserve matches, and holding pre-game dinners to become acquainted with other city cheerleading squads.

Another group which contributed to East High's spirit, enjoyment, and pageantry was the Flag Corps This squad performed during the football season, showing talent and providing halftime entertainment.

The main goal of Flag Corps, said Kerre Vojtech, is ". to compliment the band on the field and add visual effect."

Attending a UNL camp for two days and participating in the Shrine Bowl parade provided a busy year for the Flag Corps.

The twirlers were the other group to round out the trio. They also attended a clinic during the summer, at Lincoln Northeast, and practiced daily to get in shape for the season.

One of the highlights for the three twirlers was performing with fire during halftime at the Homecoming game.

The twirlers were proud of their achievements. "We choreographed all our own routines with the help of an instructor," explained senior twirler Virginia Hamilton.

So regardless of how the games might have gone, and despite what the outcome may have been, the Spartan athletes were always able to depend on enthusiastic support from the sidelines. And win or lose, the Reserve Cheerleaders, the Flag Corps, and the band twirlers were a constant source of encouragement.

Stricter policy produces participation

As the year progressed, students began to see a changed Student Council. Instead of meeting once a week as in the past, Council members met twice-every Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 7: 15 a.m. Also, members voted to have a stricter attendance policy to insure more participation. This policy was effective not only for meetings but for almost all other activities.

Other activities consisted of car washes, running the concession stand, a pie-in-the-face booth at Blue and White Night, the Winter Wonderland Dance, ringing bells for the Salvation Army, picking up trash around the school, Spring Day, the Snatraps talent show, sending a newsletter to faculty members, Teacher Appreciation Day, and selling window stickers.

During the summer ten members of the council attended a leadership workshop at Dana College in Blair, sponsored by the National Association of Student Councils. And in November, 22 Council members spent a weekend in Omaha at the Nebraska Student Council convention.

Speech, debate provide lifetim e skills

"It's a worthwhile activity because the skills you learn can be used for a lifetime,n said debater John Mittelstaedt, "and there aren't a lot of things in hjgh school that have such potential."

Some of the benefits reaped from being on the Forensics team included developing speaking skills and learning research techniques. However, there were other intangible benefits to be attained. One of the most important benefits was learning to get along with others. Members also learned to take part in school activities and to help give East High a good reputation, both in Nebraska and nationwide. Perhaps another valuable pay-off was learning to be patient , especially when luck was down.

Yet there were a few disadvantages. One of the biggest sacrifices affiliates faced was the great amount of time expended researching, memorizing and ratsmg money. It was also required that students be willing to forfeit most other social activities due to out-of-town trips nearly every weekend of the season.

It was necessary to raise a great deal of money in order to finance trips. The school was able to help in paying for a portion of trips to area and regional tournaments, but participants were required to provide funds themselves for trips to national tournaments in California or on the East Coast. rhe school administration was especially helpful in finding jobs for team members to work at to raise money.

Participating in tournaments f~om November to March , the team had an exceptionally successful season Among many outstanding speech team members, Craig Smith captured first place at a match at the University of California at Berkeley. And there was a great deal of depth in novice and junior varsity debaters, providing for a strong team in the future. Everybody won something, which showed that the degree of willingness to work was high , and the efforts of all were greatly rewarded.

Artistic, marketing experience applied

Two clubs gave students special experiences in career fields.

D.E.C.A. (Distributive Education Clubs of America) gave marketing students a chance to experience what was talked about in class.

Fund-raising was conducted in a businesslike manner that included choosing the products, testing the market, setting the price and collecting the profits . Members were also given the chance to compete in district, state and national competitions.

D.E.C.A. sold innovatively-designed tshirts, soft-soap and tins of popcorn in addition to the donuts and juice traditionally sold to earn money. They also sponsored a bowling team and worked on a civic project.

Officers were Jeff Leach, president; Lori Hampton, vice-president; Kim Kussatz, secretary; Lori Hulstrand, treasurer and Cheryl Mozingo, historian.

"I think Art Club is great because it gives students who are interested in art a chance to use their talents," said Beth King, the treasurer of Art Club.

Art Club was designed to inspire students to use their artistic talents to their fullest potential if they so desired. They met on Wednesday afternoons to discuss plans such as a trip to Chicago to visit various art institutes and the sale of highly successful Christmas and Valentine's Day cards and enamel pins at a reasonable price.

Officers were Sheri Deford, president; Mary Watts, vice -president; Preeta Bansal, secretary and Beth King, treasurer.

Aquatic groups promote water sports

Dollfins and East Guard were two aquatic groups for students who wished to perform in a synchronized swimming group, or support the swim team.

Dollfins hit the waves (air waves, that is) for their April show, Radio KFIN: On The Air. The sixteen-act show featured music from American eras such as "The Charleston," "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," and "Rock Around The Clock." All thirty Dollfin members took part in the finale, swimming to the theme from "WKRP In Cincinnati."

Betsy Wilson, Dollfin president, performed a soulful solo to the sounds of "Funeral For A Friend" by Elton John.

Mrs. Salyards, the group's sponsor, said that a new and exciting feature became part of the Dollfin show.

"We invited the past four years' soloists back to do a special act," s,he said. "Lisa Bohl, Sue Stromer, Monica Lee, and Peggy Hinkle performed to John Lennon's "Starting Over."

"We're the same old East Guard, but we're just as eager and excited about our activities as ever," commented the group's sponsor, Tony Scott.

East Guard provided timers, announcers, and any other help with odd jobs that was required at all home meets. The group earned money through concessions and T-shirt sales, which went tc purchase new pool equipment, and tc sponsor the boys and girls banquets.

East Guard also took the traditional March ski trip. Scott says it serves as a special reward for a year of hard war}:<.

Renovatinns produce revitalizations

One of the most important tasks of high, school life was finding a personal niche. Two of the areas in which students were able to achieve this goal were Drama Club and International club. Both groups went through some renovation and revitalization.

Carol Scott, the new East High drama teacher, was the sponsor for the Drama Club, and she cited several examples of the club ' s new-found purpose.

"It serves as a core of support for the high school dramatic productions and encourages recognition of the students involved in drama here at East," commented Scott.

A city-wide effort was made to help the growth of drama clubs. Students met to discuss how attendance at plays could be increased and to encourage administrative cooperation for the survival of drama in the high schools.

"I enjoyed being a member of the Drama Club because we took the time to set goals and aim for a purpose this year so we could be a functioning club, instead of just a name," said junior Mary Watts.

A new project, sponsoring a child in India for the Christian Children's Fund, gave the International Club a sense of doing something meaningful with their earnings, yet still remain within the club's purpose . The club raised about $1000 through candy sales to support the foreign exchange student they sponsor annually.

Fred Schelert sponsored the group along with Yolanda lnguanzo. ('This International Club was very enjoyable to work with," Schelert said. "We experienced some good leadersip we had not had in the club previously. All the members worked, not only to plan, but actually organize their activities."

The French Club held a kissing booth at Blue and White Night, as well as caroling to senior citizens and selling Goomy Gators for profit. The club members also participated in the Foreign Language Fair at UNL in March.

The German Club sold German baked goods at Blue and White Night. Although first semester was not as productive as the members would have liked, second semester brought participation in a masquerade ball with the Southeast German club and a trip to Kansas City with the students from Kassa!, Germany.

Spartans fall short of state title

For the third straight year, the varsity team compiled a successful regular s~ason and competed in the state playoffs.

The year was characterized by several unusual events, beginning with East's first game versus Grand Island. The team bus broke down and the Spartan gridders were forced to 'hijack' the parents' bus in order to arrive in time for the game. During the Nortryeast game, with only two seconds remaining in the half, a power failure in east Lincoln caused the lights over Seacrest Field to go out. The remainder of the game was played the following night. At the end of the season, when East had assured themselves a berth in the playoffs, several team members showed their spirit by having their heads shaved. _

East got off to a strong start in the season opener at Grand Island. The Spartans were able to overcome a 7-6 deficit when quarterback Jimmy Pietenpol connected with wide receiver Todd Eubanks on a 32-yard touchdown pass with only 1:OS remaining in the game.

Eventual state champion Omaha Westside handed East their only loss of the regular season by holding the Spartans scoreless and yielding only 131 total yards. Pietenpol was intercepted late in the first half after East had driven to the Warrior 22, halting the team's only real scoring threat.

East was able to bounce back in their homecoming game against Southeast, coming away with a reassuring 21-7 win. Kevin Vermeer put the Spartans on the board first when he took a reverse handoff from Eubanks on a punt return and raced 79 yards down the sideline for a touch. down. Pietenpol hit John Massey on a 9yard TD pass, and later Tim Lee took it in from 11 yards out to seal the victory.

After getting off to a slow start, East rolled past Millard South in their fourth game of the season. The game was highlighted by a pair of long touchdown passes from Pietenpol to Vermeer.

Pietenpol went to the air completing 1i passes for 176 yards to boost the Spartans over the Norfolk -Panthers. Ken Cheloha and Todd Eubanks both scored touchdowns and Kent Trenkle added a 31-yard field goal as East captured their fourth victory.

The Spartan defense was fired up by an

enthusiastic home crowd and kept Fremont from overcoming a one-point deficit after the Tigers had driven to the East High 10-yard line. A 27-yard field goal failed when the snap was bobbled and the kick was blocked by a host of Spartan defenders led by Steve Forch and Tim Lambert.

Although the East offense was shut down the first half by Northeast, the defense provided 9 points on a safety and a 34-yard •fumble return by Ryan Reffert.

Pietenpol hit Jaime Bryant on ·a 42-yard touchdown strike in the second half and the Spartans blanked the Rockets 16-0. • Capitalizing on North Platte mistakes, East was able to break several big plays to log their seventh win. Lee ran 76 yards for a touchdown and later returned a kickoff 70 yards to the Bulldog 11; on the ensuing play Cheloha ran in for the touchdown. Eubanks and Vermeer also scored on passes of 27 and 6 yards from Pietenpol.

The Spartans closed out the regular season with a 34-16 victory over Lincoln High. Pietenpol and Vermeer each scored in the first half, and tackle John Strasheim recovered an East fumble in the Links' end zone to give the Spartans a 21-13 lead at the half. Massey and Cheloha added touchdowns in the second half and East , gained a number two ranking going into the state playoffs

Turnovers and a lack of mental preparation plagued the Spartans in the quarterfinals of the playoffs as they were shut out by the Columbus Discov~rers. Pietenpol was intercepted four times and Columbus recovered two fumbles.

Four East High players received postseason Lincoln Journal Star All-State honors. Kevin Vermeer was named first team offensive split end. Mark Cooper, Ryan Reffert, and Tim Lambert were the second team center, defensive end, and linebacker, respectively.

Reserves, sophomores have contrasting seasons

After peaking early in the year, the reserve football team closed out the season with a disappointing 4-4 record.

The reserves played their finest game at Grand -Island where tight end Dave Darlington led the Spartans by scoring three touchdowns, including an interception return.

A lack of aggressiveness following the G.I. game resulted in three straight losses before the reserves could salvage a victory over Lincoln High.

"Grand Island was the only team we lost to last year, and I think we were concentrating too much on that one game," stated defensive back Mike Kuester.

The sophomores continued the winning trend established last year by compiling a 4-2 record.

"I was pleased with their progress," said coach Jim Neal of his players. "They improved with every game we played."

Highlighting the sophs' season was a decisive victory over Pius. Halfbacks Doug Koenig and Steve Ridgeway each r:ushed for two touchdowns against the Pius defense. Steve Kirk also scored and quarterback Scott Crimmins completed a 35-yard touchdown strike as the Spartans rolled past the Thunderbolts 39-8.

"We really played great against Pius," emphasized Coach Neal. "I was glad to see us finish strong."

Team unity

key to district title

Too much too early was the problem for the Varsity volleyball team. The girls defeated Lincoln Northeast just one week before the Rockets won the state tournament.

"We peaked at the wrong time-not at state, but at districts," commented senior starter Jill Grenseman.

Two championships highlighted the season. East won a district title and won the Husker Classic early in the season. They finished with an 18- 7 record and enjoyed a high ranking of 4th at the end of the season.

"Our real success was team unity," said Coach Myron Oehlerking. "It's something you must have to be an outstanding team."

The Spartans racked up many individual honors. Jill Grenseman and Susie Arkfeld botl:i were named to the All-City 1st team and the Journal-Star Super-State 2nd team. Julie Aksamit and Heidi Johnson earned places on the All-City second team.

As for playing stats, Heidi Johnson and Susie Arkfeld both made 97% of their serves. Jill Grenseman made 91% of her . spikes, and was second in state in ace spikes with 159 total. Behind her in fifth place was junior Kathy Gustafson with 128 ace spikes.

"The girls worked hard to play the best volleyball they could play," said Coach Oehler king.

Dedication and a desire to win were what made the reserve volleyball team successful.

The girls posted a 6-3 season, even though all but two members of the team were sophomores.

"The transition from junior high to senior high shows quite a difference in skill levels," said Coach Debbie Salyards. "In junior high you learn the skills; in senior high, teamwork is the major factor in working toward a common goal."

All the practices paid off when it came time for the city championship. East faced Southeast in the finals and won in three games.

"The city tournament proved to them what a well-rounded team they were," said Coach Salyards. "They never gave up no matter what the score was and showed a lot of maturity."

Summing up the season, Junior Julie Spaedt said, "The practices went well and the team worked hard to win-we had a lot of spirit! ~ '

Golfers drive for improvement

B_rushingoff a third place finish in the district meet, senior Kerre Dubinsky charged to the front and won the state girls golf championship at Benson Park in Omaha by a whopping six strokes.

Dubinsky, also the city and Trans Nebraska champ, fired an 82 to claim the state title.

"It's something I've always been working for. I didn't think it would ever happen to me," she said.

Although Dubinsky was the only East golfer to qualify for state, the team was very much alive. T earn members Katie Pocras, Jody Most, Emily Donnelson, Nancy Sorenson, and Tammy Bumstead showed great improvement.

"The rookies had great success and improvement," Coach Shirley Doan said.

"They started the year as beginners and by the end of the season had really improved.

"I felt very proud of the team. They played their best and were a credit to the school."

Competitive spirit is key to boys success

What the boys varsity tennis. team lacked in experience, they more than made up for with their enthusiasm.

"This was one of the least experienced teams that I have coached," said coach Jerry Trimble, "but everyone gave a great effort and played very close to their own potential."

Led by seniors Paul Gutgesell, Ryne Seaman, John Jewett, Larry Apel, Andy Arnold, and junior Chris Hubbard, the team won six of their dual meets and had only three losses.

The highlight of the season was placing fourth out of twenty-two teams in state competition. No. 1 doubles Jewett and Seaman went all the way to the semi-finals before they were defeated by eventual state champions Omaha Westside.

The reserves compiled an impressive 7-1 record in dual competition-the best since Trimble has coached, and probably the best in East history.

Juniors Billy Hayes; Pat Cahoy, Myron Wilder, and Rick Vogel along with sophomores Alan Massengale and Dan Witters all performed well at city. Cahoy was the No. 2 singles champion, and Wilder was runner-up in No. 1 singles. Hayes and Massengale were the No. 1 doubles champions, and Vogel teamed with Witters to place 2nd in No. 2 doubles.

Injuries slow gymnasts

The boys gymnastics team closed the record book on an "up and down" season marred by injury and highlighted by an amazing comeback.

The team suffered a great loss when Bruce Jones broke his leg during the second meet. Coach Dave Eppert felt Bruce could have been among the top three in the state all-around if it had not been for the injury.

Jones didn't compete again until the districts, but he was able to qualify for state where he went all the way to the finals in the parallel bars wearing a half-cast.

Tom Naviaux also received an injury to his wrist which slowed him down for the remainder of the season and prevented him from reaching his full potential.

"The team found they could compete without Bruce," said Eppert, who has high hopes for the gymnasts next year.

"We will have five returning lettermen and I'm excited about our ninth grade talent," he said.

Girls tumble to 2nd place at state

Girls gymnastics had yet another suc ; cessful season, highlighted by a first place finish in the UNL Invitational and second place finishes in districts and state. "Our ·best performance was in the finals of statethe girls really came together as a team," said Coach Dave Eppert. The amount of versatility in the team contributed to their success. They had three girls that competed in all-around: juniors Lisa Domina and Joanie Sander, and senior Susan Powers. Lisa went on to win the individual all-around title at state by beating Renee Gould of Northeast by .45 of a point. "It was a real honor to win," said Lisa, "all of the work really paid off."

Besides having an excellent season, the girls had many other accomplishments to be proud of. Senior Marche Stevens won the Sertoma award, an award given to outstanding athletes, and senior Susan Snyder made every meet for three yearsthat adds up to about 35 meets! They also had two all city selections: Lisa Domina at captain, and Joanie Sander for bars and beam. "Just a tremendous year," concluded Coach Eppert.

Wrestlers mature under new coach

A surpnsmg comeback capped a rebuilding season for the wrestling squad.

Senior Bob Wall, having lost five of his first seven matches, came back to record ten pins and place third in the state championships.

"We had a good year for my first year," commented new coach Tim McDonald. "It took awhile for the team to get used to me, but we accomplished a lot and had a good crop of freshmen. Hopefully it is a starting point."

The season started slowly for the Spartans, as the team finished eighth in the Kearney Invitational with 28 points.

•"I don't believe that East High has ever done that before," smiled McDonald. "It was embarrassing."

Yet through the efforts of outstanding athletes, the team turned around and finished with high honors, including the city championship to cap a 7-4 dual season record. The wrestlers also placed second in the Trans-Nebraska meet and third in districts.

Among the noteworthy athletes were Steve Worley, awarded outstanding sophomore of the year, and Bob Wall, named most improved on the season. Roy Houser was also honored for having the most takedowns in the season. Houser had 29 takedowns-a school record.

Yet, according to McDonald, the most outstanding wrestler was Jack Sprackling who was awarded team MVP. Sprackling won the South Sioux City meet, placed second in districts, and won the TransNebraska competition.

T earn captains were Ryan Reffert and Roy Houser, and McDonald's assistant •was Mark Neumann.

State tournament eludes Spartans

The game had all the makings of a classic Spartan finish. East had the ball with 15 seconds left; trailing top-ranked Northeast by one.

The play went to junior Andy Hunzeker who had already scored 24 points The Rocket defense forced Hunzeker out of the corner and with only four seconds left, he fired a 22 -foot jumper from the top of the key. The ball ricocheted off the rim into the hands of senior Kevin Vermeer who put up a desperation shot off the backboard-no good. East's hopes for a trip to the state tournament went with the shot in a disappointing climax to an otherwise successful varsity basketball season

Balanced scoring helped the pre-season seventh -ranked Spartans roll to a win in the season opener against Omaha Gross. Junior Todd Eubanks led all scorers with 15 , Andy Hunzeker and John Sommer• halder had 13 apiece, and Ryne Seaman hit double figures with ten points.

East fans watched as a 12 -point lead crumbled into a seven-point loss to yearlong nemesis Northeast. The Spartans hurry-up offense was shut down in the second half, and the Rockets used their

height advantage to seal East's fate.

The Spartans began a six-game winning streak by claiming convincing wins over Omaha Central , Norfolk, and Omaha Tech Senior Ryne Seaman played especially well at Tech, scoring 24 points and pulling down 15 rebounds.

The East cagers defeated the South Sioux City Cardinals to raise their record to 5-1 and earn a berth in the finals of the \ Lincoln Public Schools / Optimist Club Holiday Tournament. The Spartans cap• tured the championship by downing the Norfolk Panthers for. the second tirpe.

With three -and-a-half minutes on the clock and a one-point difference on the scoreboard, Southeast was giving East a run for its money. The Spartans foiled the upset -minded Knights by running off 12 unanswered points to win the game.

Omaha Burke handed East its second loss of the season , but as with the Spartans' previous defeat, it proved to be only a temporary setback. East launched a second victory campaign with wins over Grand Island, Lincoln High, and Southeast.

The most impressive win of the season came in the second confrontation with

Lincoln High. Five East players made double figures as the Spartans massacred the Links 94-43. East ruined any hope of a Lincoln High comeback by scoring 17 unanswered points at the start of the second half. Seaman was the leading scorer wi t h 21 points.

East closed out the regular se~son with losses to number two-rated Omaha Northwest and number one Northeast.

Andy Hunzeker played his best game against Beatrice in the A-1 district semifinals. The junior scored 21 points including three key baskets from outside 20 feet. After the game, Hunzeker capped his performance by tossing the ball 75 feet into the hoop.

The Spartans lost their final game of the season to Northeast in the district finals. East was denied a wild card in the state tournament when Omaha Northwest lost · to Millard South.

J.V.'s hold to winning tradition

The reserve basketball team compiled an 11 -4 season highlighted by an end of the year win ove r Northeast.

The Spartan s had lost by two in overtime ea rli er , and the revenge victory concluded the season on a high note.

"The team wasn't just a lot of individual stars ," said coach Ed McPherren. "It was a very competitive team of twelve ball players who improved together."

T earn member Joe Hovorka felt that the team never played up to its full potential.

"I don't think we played a complete game all season. Against Northwest we probably played our best half, but we lost because we p layed horrid in the third and fourth periods ," he said.

The sophomore cagers finished their season with a 9-3 record and a tie for the 11 c ity champi o nship with Southeast.

Ro b Ogden, a member of the 1971 state championship varsity team , took over the job of coaching the sophomores.

The h ighl igh t of the season was the Norris game wh ere they won by two points a fter the secon d overtime.

A three-po int loss to Southeast prevented t he sophs from winning the city championship outright. It was the third year in a row the team earned the title.

"I think it helped the team to work out with (Brad) Waddell and (Scott) Crimmans when t hey came down from reserves, " said Ki Roth. "They gave us so.me added leadership."

Experienced team trains new coach

Strong shooting and a tough press gave the varsity girls the edge they needed to win, enroute to a 13-6 season.

The season was of manY, changes for the girls. John Strain took over Leona Penner's job as coach of the varsity. He introduced a new offense and defense, and a lot of new plays "I enjoyed the year and learned a lot about coaching girls," commented Strain.

The season was highlighted by a "revenge game" against Norfolk, who had previously beaten the Spartans by 10, but two 3-point plays by Peggy Hart and Jill Grenseman in the last two minutes was enough to bring the girls back from 5 down and win 38-37.

The year was not without its disappointments, however. "We lost a lot of big games," said junior Peggy Hart, "especially against Lincoln High in districts when we had beaten them the week before."

Although the team was made up of mostly seniors, the starters were from all three grades with sophomore JenaJanovy starting at guard.

Jill Grenseman broke the school scoring record by getting ·34 points ·in the game against Grand Island, and led in overall scoring with 280 points for the season. She also led in total rebounds with 135: Peggy Hart was right behind her with llO. Peggy also letj in free throws, making 60 %

. Speed, experience produce victories

Speed plus experience added up to 12

victories for the girls reserve basketball team.

"It was a real pleasure to have girls on the team who had had some previous experience playing," commented new coach Jim Mann. "I could move quickly through the basics and get to more advanced things."

The girls made Spartan history by demolishing Omaha Bryan 86-5 in the end game of the season.

"_We came out with a press that really shocked them we held them to no field goals and only five free throws," said coach Mann.

Not all the games were won quite that easily, however. When playing Norfolk, for example, the girls were down 10 at half, but came out very aggressively and won the game in the last 15 seconds, 40-39.

The reserves ended the season with an overall 12-4 record. They won the City Reserve Championship with a 5-1 record, losing only to Lincoln High by one point.

"We were never out of any game, and with a few breaks could have been undefeated," said Mann. "I was always proud of the sportsmanship, hard work, and ability that the team portrayed."

Janet Tropp was the leading scorer with 92 points, and also led in rebounds with 122 followed by Heidi Hathcock with 72.

Accomplishments exceed expectations

Taking a dive isn't always the formula for success but the boys swimming team used that strategy to good advantage.

A one-two punch in diving at the state meet lifted the Spartans to a surprising fifth place finish

"I was very pleased," said coach Tony Scott. "I didn't expect us to finish in the top ten at state."

Sophomore Bob Wood and senior Dave Wheaton provided the team with much needed points by placing third and fourth respectively in diving competition.

Seniors Tim Brown and Frank Sammet demonstrated their experience and leadership with three top ten finishes apiece . Brown placed fourth in the 500meter freestyle and sixth in the 200-meter freestyle. Sammet finished sixth in the 100meter butterfly and ninth in the 200-meter individual medley. Brown and Sammet teamed with junior Chris Draney and sophomore -Scott Gottschalk to capture ninth place in the free relay.

Another highlight for the team was a second place finish in the Trans-Nebraska conference meet.

The Spartans had hoped for second in the city, but had to settle for third when they lost to Northeast in a dual meet. Southeast finished first in city .

-"It was very satisfying to turn around and place above Northeast in conference and state," commented Scott.

Injuries force· rocky road to success

Even with one of their top swimmers out for the season, the girls swim team battled their way to a top ten finish at State.

The sidelined swimmer happened to be junior Kathy Gustafson who broke her foot in a routine practice early in the season.

"I was really disappointed. I was swimming well into state," Kathy said. "We had not had any really big meets yet so I was kind of bummed."

Although the injury affected the team point-wise, it was felt in other ways too.

"Kathy's injury hurt the team more than just swimming: she added a lot of moral support as well," said team captain Betsy Wilson. But despite the loss of Kathy for the season, the girls had a good team.

They finished the season with a dual record of 8-2, a second place finish at Trans, a second place finish in city and a 6th place finish at State.

"The girls had a good strong season. We only lost to Southeast by 8 points and they eventually won state," said coach Tony Scott.

The girls posted some very high finishes at state. Betsy Wilson was 7th in the IM, Wendy Dickinson was -4th in the 500 free and 200 free, diver Kristin Luthans finished 5th, and the medley relay made up of Ann McCashland, Betsy Wilson, Krisi Boom, and Wendy Dickinson finished 7th.

Distance runners pace track team

After the first two meets, it was difficult for boys' track coach Bob Eyth to speculate on the season's outcome.

"There's no dominant team in the city," he said. "It's going to be a close battle between East, Southeast, and Northeast."

He did express confidence in the high jumpers and the long distance runners.

Senior Eric Unrau's high jump of 6'-8½" set a new school record. Junior John Sommerhalder also broke the old record of 6'-7" by clearing 6'-7¼".

"We have the two best jumps in the state so far," declared Eyth.

Tom Waltke and Kraig Vanderbeek are expected to be the leaders in the long distance events. Eyth also felt junior Todd Eubanks would pose a threat in the triple jump. Eubanks had already logged an impressive jump of 45'-7".

Eyth's major concern was the possibility of injuries to the team. After the Millard North Invitational, Kevin Vermeer was the only thinclad injured, but the sprinter's absence weighed heavily on the team.

"I'm very satisfied with our workouts," Eyth said, "but we've got to stay away from injuries."

Girls coach Myron Oelerking said that his team's major strong-point was its experience.

"We have 14 seniors and 3 juniors returning from last year's team," he said.

Oelerking felt that his team was strong in most events including long distance and sprinting. He mentioned the high jump as one of the questionable areas where the team might not score.

Mary Amen, Heidi Johnson, and Sherry Crist were expected to lead the distance runners, and Lyn Fix the hurdlers. Seniors Susan Boukather and Trish Tea! were the sprinting leaders.

"This is just an outstanding group of competitors," praised Oelerking. "They work well together and are supportive of each other. Whether they win or lose, they're a great group of girls."

Returning letterwinners show strength

"With four returning letterwinners we should have a good team," said girls tennis coach Jerry Trimble.

The returning lettermen were seniors Nancy Nye and Kerre Dubinsky, and juniors Kathy Gustafson and Heidi Hathcock.

-"We will build the team around Nye and Gustafson," commented coach Trimble. "Our strength should be in singles."

The girls got off to a slow start because of the weather-strong winds cancelled their first meet against Northeast in late March.

The season had four big meets besides the duals: Ralston Invitational, TransNebraska, City, and of course State.

The Ralston meet in mid-April included teams from Omaha and was to give some indication of how tough the state competition would be.

Spartans produce outstanding results

"We are looking to win state with Bryan Hughett as a medalist and Bryce Reimers close behind," says boys golf coach Mr. Gast.

Those state hopes are well founded as the boys proved their skills by placing first in the Beatrice Invitational March 26. Bryan Hughett, who placed second in state last year, came home with a third place finish. Jon Burmeister and Jeff Heck placed sixth and seventh respectively.

"By state, if we have four in the seventies, and one in the eighties, we should win state with ease," commented Coach Gast.

Teams ready despite weather setback

Rain and cold temperatures ~indered the pre-season training periods for all three baseball teams.

"The weather has been really tough," said varsity coach John Henry. "We haven't been able to get outside to take a good look at our players."

Henry felt that the team's strengths were in the infield and the pitching of senior Bill Greenfield. Eight returning lettermen including catcher Ryan Reffert and first baseman John Timberlake were expected to provide leadership for the team.

The varsity schedule includes all six teams from last year's state tournament.

"This is probably the toughest schedule we have ever had," he said.

Henry cited their double-header with Creighton Prep and Roncalli as an especially crucial point in the season. Prep and Roncalli were last year's class A and class B state champions.

Reserve coach Jim Neal stated that team depth was his team's main strength.

"We have all the potential for a very good junior varsity baseball team," he said.

Head, Sewage claim intramural titles

lntramurals once again provided a popular option to varsity sports for many students. The fall sports included soccer, flag football, and ultimate (frisbee football). Basketball was offered as a winter sport, and slowpitch softball was played in the spring . Grateful Head finished first in all three fall sports although they settled for a tie in soccer with Stiff Competition.

The Icy Torquers came alive in the postseason tournaments to claim championships in soccer and ultimate. · Head was able to capture the flag football crown, and because of their regular season dominance preserved a number one ranking overall.

Soccer standouts included league Most Valuable Player Todd Severa, All-Star M.V.P. Bryce Reimers, and tournament M.V.P. Jeff Holtgrewe. Ultimate M.V.P.'s for the league, All-Star game, and tournament were John Sommerhalder, Darryl Mattox, and Scott Loos, respectively. Andy Hunzeker captured all three M.V.P. honors in flag football.

Hot Sewage left no doubt as to who was the top intramural ' basketball team by finishing 16-0 on the season and winning the championship tournament.

Swamp Rat Mark Christensen had the most three-point shots of any individual with 30. Jeff Holtgrewe of the Warriors was second with 26, and Jon Burmeister added to the Swamp Rat total with 25.

The Swamp Rats led the team competition by sinking an impressive 80 threepoint shots. Sewage finished on the Rats' tail with 79. The Warriors were third with 67.

Paul Gutgesell of the Sewage received Most Valuable Player honors in both the league and the championship tournament. Jeff Holtgrewe was the M. V.P. in the holiday tournament. The three All-Star games produced five M.V.P.'s including Kendall Johnson, Mike Rathjen, Paul Gutgesell, Eric Unrau, and Dan Kirkendall.

In ancient Greek epics, the hero was always easily distinguished from the common men. The hero was the one most favored by the gods, and hence most written about by the writers. Yet , not everything went so smoothly for the hero. The man most favored by the gods was also the one most tested by the gods.

However, the ancients were not alone in this respect. Today our modern Spartans have been tried and tested in much the ·same way as their predecessors. As the gallant Heracles had his twelve labors set before him, so the East High Greeks were put to twelve tasks. Trials which they met and passed with a classic style unique to the Spartans.

The natural elements were a major test for students this winter. Sub-zero temperatures and frigid winds made getting to and from school an ordeal in itself. Not only that, but students suffered a cooler climate in the classroom. Studying was frequently difficult, but worse with mittens.

The cold months were also difficult for students not readily able to move about. But neither that nor their handicaps stopped these true heroes from learning, growing, and becoming a part of the school. These students set an admirable example of what real courage in the face of overwhelming odds can be. Their handicaps were faced-and overcome.

The Spartans were also equal to the test of new graduation requirements. The first class to leave high school under the new guidelines, the class of '82 was beset with controversy, confusion, and problems with new classes such as Citizenship Issues. Yet they met their obligations and set a precedent difficult for underclassmen to follow. The new requirements were tougher-but perhaps these groundbreakers left with a better education because of it.

"Tough" was also an appropriate adjective for other areas of the students' lives. Things were toughening up all over the school. In the drama department, the few students who were selected for "The Miracle Worker" had to excel in order to be chosen from the many who tried out.

Academic competition was also formidable. As early as their sophomore year, the Spartans were turning an eye towards scholarships and academic honors. But here too they were equal to the challenge. . Three students became Presidential Scholar finalists and seven were National Merit Semi-finalists-another precedent for the years to come. And of course competition was keen in such areas as athletics, music, and forensics as well. Laurel wreaths were hard to come by in this time of excellence.

Money was another thing which posed a test for the Spartans. Tightening school finances threatened many programs, but were not able to dampen enthusiasm. Even when students were obliged to take part-time jobs to ease the crunch, they still found time to be involved in school life.

One rather disturbing trial for our _ heroes was the number of serious injuries sustained during the year. It seemed that an uncommon number of students were injured on ski trips, and unusµally many

athletes suffered broken bones in t h E course of their games. Even the icy stree t f resulted in mishaps and broken bones

Still, school was not the only plac E where East High students were put to t hf test. As they grew older, social respon s i bilities began to play a role. As senior bo y~ reached their 18th birthdays, they we n faced with draft registration and a l seniors were faced with the immine n right to vote in their government. St u dents of all ages began to involve the m selves in the community through su d programs as Red Cross , VIA, and cand y striping.

Twelve trials of one kind or anoth e 1 were placed before the East High Spa r tans; trials of every variety and whi d came from every angle. Yet no taskmast e i could have been displeased with the pe r formances turned in. The tougher th ( tests , the more determined the spirit tc meet them. Much like the determinatior of ancient Heracles , who knew he wa i favored; the Spartans had the confidenc { to succeed.

Hero's glimpse of future seen in past

The final rule of the oral epic as told by Homer was that the hero was always shown the future. Through divine revelations, the hero could be assured of what was to come

Things have not changed down through the years . Contemporary Spartan heroes did not receive divine revelations, but just by . stepping back and looking around, they too gained a tantalizing glimpse of their futures.

Many times the classes that a student took were an indication of careers to come. Aspiring business executives were to be found in classes that would smooth the way and the same applied to other areas. Members of Singers planned to become music majors in college. Some student publications staff members planned on careers in journalism. Budding doctors and scientists struggled with the more advanced science classes. And perhaps the best example of this was the coop program in the industrial arts department. Most of the students enrolled in this intensive training intended t"o continue in that field after graduation.

Still, academics was not the only telltale clue. Extracurricular activities also provided a portent of things to come. Many a student whose name appeared regularly on play programs went on to appear in college presentations. Student Council or SAB members · frequently hoped to become involved in government at a higher level. Certainly, one or two gave a thought to a political career. Through workshops and selling campaigns in Business Club and DECA, students worked to give themselves an advantage in a business-related career.

Future Physicians and Art Club were also training grounds for those who knew what they wanted. These clubs and others like them hoped to hone the students' skills and set them on the road.

The Greek hero had no control over his future, which was entirely controlled by fate. Yet our modern Spartan hero held the thunderbolts·in his own hands. With a well-rounded high school education as a background, he or she could set out to mold their lives. It was a difficult world that faced them-a fast-paced environment of inflation, with the race for jobs getting harder all the time. Their country

was a conservative place to be, wi t h Ronald Reagan in the White House. An d of course a cold war was always possibl e . But the East High graduates met thes e problems with an undeterred confidenc e in themselves. They knew already wh a t awaited them. Through their involveme n t in their high school curriculum and activ ities, they had been shown their future , just as every true hero always is.

pring Day worth the wait

pril showers might bring May wers, but they also slowed down East h's annual spring madness.

Senior high students enjoyed a ..rman Club bake sale, a DECA balloon s, a ~anning salon, a kissing booth, d an ice- cream eating contest. The nd Timeless entertained in the boys' m. Butthe most popular activity was a nking machine. Students with strong s tried to throw a softball toward a get. An accurate throw meant a cool for a teacher.

pring Day had other problems, ough, besides rainy weather. The uncil was not permitted to have a taurant cater in a hot meal, but the feteria ladies came to the rescue. They prepared sloppy joes and french fries for sale at the concession stand. " Nevertheless, few students complained about the chance to catch some rays instead of doing math problems on a spring afternoon.

Track teams dominate city competition

The third time was a charm, but a fourth time victory over eventual state . champion Lincoln High was too much to ask of the girls' track team.

Before their fifth place finish at State, the girls placed above the Links three times and claimed first in both the city and district meets.

Mary Amen was the leading individual scorer with 82 1 /3 points on the year. Amen broke the school record for the 1600 meters twice, finishing with a time of 5:05. She also broke the 3200 meter record three times. Her time of 10:53:09 made her one of only three runners in the state to brake 11 minutes.

Susan Steen set a new shot put record of 38' 4 3/4" after topping the old mark five times. Coach Myron Oehlerking cited the 3200 meters, 400 meters, and 100 meters as the team's strongest events in the city and district meets

Sprinters Susan Boukather, Trish Teal, and Lynn Fix finished first, second, and third in the 100 meters.

The boys' track squad performed equally well finishing first in city and districts Most pleasing to coach Bob Eyth was the team's improvement and progress throughout the year.

The boys' scored 34 more points in the state meet than last year. The team derived much of its strength from the long distance events and the high jump.

Senior Eric Unrau cleared 6' 9 1 / 4" in the district meet to set a new school high jump record

John Sommerhalder's time of 39 5 in the 300 meter intermediate hurdles replaced his old mark as the school record.

Todd Eubanks finished ahead of 31 other runners to win the gold medal in the 400 meters at the state meet.

With many juniors including Sommerhalder and Eubanks returning next year, coach Eyth is looking forward to a "very good team."

Golfers' win highlights spring sports

The boys' golf team won East High's only State Championship edging past Southeast by one stroke.

Brian Hughett shot an even par 70, five strokes ahead of the field, to claim the Class A individual title. Bryce Reimers finished fourth with a 76. Rounding out the Spartan scoring were Scott Harris, Ken Cheloha, and John Burmeister with scores of 84, 86, and 87 respectively.

"We couldn't have done it without Hughett's above average performance," said Harris.

Rain, wind and even snow postponed the girls' tennis season, but eventually they brought home a second place in the city and fourth place at State.

"It was the soggiest season we've had, but it turned out to be one of the best," commented coach Jerry Trimble.

Senior Nancy Nye tied for first place at city and took third place at State playing in the #1 singles position.

Kathy Gustafson, #2 singles player, placed first at the Ralston Invitational,

Trans-Nebraska, and L.P.S. She went into the State tournament as the number one seed and after a close semi-final match, won easily in the finals.

The number two doubles team was also successful. Seniors Kerre Dubinsky and Amy Wilson grabbed a second place finish at the TransNebraska, went on to become city champs, and placed third at State.

In dual meets the team ended the season with a 6-3 record.

"I'm happy with the way we al I played," said Nye. "I think this is the most successful season we've had."

The reserve tennis team compiled a season record of 4-3 and went on to place second in the L.P.S. tournament.

Dianne George captured the #1 singles crown and Devika Seth along with Jenny Chou p!aced first in #1 doubles at the -city match.

''The tennis was pretty good but the tanning wasn't so hot," said Lise Olsen.

In spite of a disappointing 3-8 record

midway through the season, the varsity baseball team came very close to winning the district title.

After pounding Lincoln High in the second half of a double header, they went on to win four straight games before losing to Northeast in the districts.

Three year letterman Billy Greenfield provided the team with strong, consistent pitching. An inexperienced outfield showed improvement throughout the year both on the field and behind the plate.

''The team struggled well at times," said coach John Henry. "Going into extra innings against Creighton Prep proved we had a lot of potential."

The reserve baseball squad compiled a winning 10-6 record scoring an average of nine runs per game. Steve Palmer pitched a no-hitter against Pius to help the Spartans to a 16-0 victory.

'We played pretty well," said coach Jim Neal. "The team really learned a lot."

Ninth graders excel in sports

The ninth grade class had many successful teams the past year. One that stands out froo, the rest is the girls' gymnastics team. They finished the season undefeated and won the city meet. Three all-arounders, Vicki Domina, Beth Gutz, and Melissa Meinecke finished well with first, second, and third place wins.

"We had a big advantage over everyone else because we had competed before, but we did work hard and we improved over the season," said Vicki Domina.

The boys' gymnastics team finished second in the city

The girls" track team did amazingly well, considering they had only ten team mEMbers including Vicki Domina, Cheri Quathamer, Kerry Knaub, Gretchen Wood, Mary Zietlow, Robyn Elefsrud, Renee Elefsrud, Sarah Harless, Julie McMahon, and Mavis Fletcher. The running events were in their favor as they built their lead up to 39 points to win the city meet.

The boys ' track team had a conflict with the weather as one of their three meets was cancelled because of rain. The lost meet had no effect on the boys during districts as they finished first. The · competition stiffened in the city meet and the boys placed fourth . The second, third, and fourth place finishers were only one or two points apart.

The boys ' team members included Dave Clare, Jay Johnson, Tom Hamilton, Tom Dingman, Ching

Johnson, Bruce Lundak, John Haldiman, Doug Helm, Mark Boukather, Brian Gates, Scott Miller, Jeff Miller, Eric Mullet, Scott Johnson, Wes Johnson, Paul Vensky, Scott Hollestelle, John Running, Jon Kraai, Phil Mendoza, Pete Speltz, Rob Luchtel, Matt Jewett, Tim Kuester, and Jim Nickel.

The ninth grade boys' and girls' tennis teams both placed second in the city meet. The members were Steve Brugman, Kent George, Brad Gilbertson, Joe Albin, Sean White, Trent Anderson, Scott Florell, Matt Riley , Venu Chivulkula, Eric Eggland, Nancy Constance, Pam Tatro, Stephanie Digman, and Amy Fuest.

Three proves successful

Three was a lucky number for the junior high plays. There were three plays, thirty cast members, and three hundred people in attendence.

Members of the junior high student body performed three one-act plays April 29 and 30.

"Sorry Wrong Number," a murder thriller was about a self-centered, neurotic woman who overhears two men plotting her murder. "Antic

Spring," a story of six high school kids on a picnic, and "Egad, What a Cad," a comedy melodrama were also presented.

Joni Birdsall who played an operator in "Sorry Wrong Number" said, ''They went pretty well. The mistakes that we made weren't noticable."

The leading parts of "Sorry Wrong Number;' were played by Lisa Gammel and Steve Lewis. In "Antic Spring"

everyone played an important role. The characters were played by Bobby Henrichs, Kim Delome, Erica Birky, Tom Masset, Tom Kubert, and Melanie Mason. In the play "Egad, What a Cad" the leading parts Bertram Oleander and Constant Hope were portrayed by Bob Henrichs and Tiffany Stroh.

The money that was made from the one dollar admission fee went into the drama department's expense funds. -

Memories will last through the years

The Junior-Senior Prom was held at U.N.L. Student Union Ballroom from nine to twelve o'clock on Saturday, May 8. The theme "Through the Years" was taken from the popular song by Kenny Rogers Musical entertainment was provided by the band Special Edition.

"The music was good because it got a lot of people dancing," said senior Betsy Wilson.

Traditionally, the senior class was sent invitations to be used for admission to the Prom. This year, because of financial necessity, the seniors were required to pay a six dollar fee. The junior class, sponsored by Mrs. Snoberger, organized and financed the Prom by raising money with such activities as the Father-Daughter dance, candy sales, and car washes.

Last year's royalty Blaine Hester and Teresa Neal were present to crown their successors John Tomlinson and Susie Arkfeld as king and queen. The attendants of the court were Merrily Goertzen, John Timberlake, Val Strombeck, Rob Reeder, Penny Omtvedt, John Augustine, Jennifer Etzelmiller, and Bryce Reimers.

The junior class officers were pleased with the turnout, but felt that more juniors should have helped out .

"It was a lot of work, but it was fun to see the final product," commented Amy Ottersberg.

Seniors spark involvement, motivation

"Upon graduation, we will suddenly find ourselves in the real world. We will be required to make many decisions; what field we wish to pursue in college, should we decide to attend; what kind of job we want; or whether marriage would be desirable.

''These choices will not end. Even after graduation from college, when many of us have M.A.'s, B.A.'s, and Ph.D.'s, we will be forced to make another difficu It decision when we can'tfindaJ.0.8. But we, astheciassof 1982, must begin, and begin now. We must be determined to make a difference "

\Mth these words, Preeta Bansal, commencement speaker, summed up what many seniors were thinking and feeling. The other senior selected to at commencement was Anna Stewart.

On June 2, 409 seniors made their way to Pershin g Auditorium for commencement exercises. As the day drew on, seniors felt a variety of emotions: fear, sadness, anxiety, and exuberance.

Determination had already helped the class of '82 make a difference. Baccaulaureate and commencement were only the fringe benefits of three years of hard work. The class had two Presidential scholars, four Regents winners and seven National Merit finalists. About 80% of the class were involved in a club, activity, or sport.

The crass of · '82 was motivated toward success and excellence, two enviable qualities that should service them well in their futures.
