Northeast High 1977 Yearbook

Hands of time. Measured · by the minutes, hours, and days in a year. And as each year passes, there are special moments when you want to stop time. But you can't. You can only slow it down enough to capture a memory, a memory to hold on to forever.

Although time passes on, memories do not. The hands of time hold memories for you and will never let them go. So, once in a while, reach out and slow time down so you can remember.

Remember your sophomore year. Everything was new and exciting. But you were only a sophomore and three years seemed like forever.

Then a year passes and you make the transition from a sophomore to a junior. As a junior, you feel more a part of Northeast. But you find, as you look forward to your senior year, that two years still seem like a long time.

When your senior year finally comes, a year just doesn't seem long enough. You realize there are so many things you want to do, but you just can't squeeze it all into one year.

As you pass through your high school years, look back on all the things you've accomplished and the memories you have.

Although there may have been times when you became very discouraged and confused during your high school years, you just needed something to pick you up again. And that is what the spirit at Northeast can do for you. So, treasure your memories of Northeast and your three years here, for these memories will make up an important part of your Zife.

Although the hands of time do not stop, you might be able to slow them down a little by turning the pages of the 1977 Rocket. Look back on the memories of this year as rapidly or as slowly as you want. Turn back the hands of time ..

If you are

a junior or a senior you probably remem her seeing construction workers roaming the hallways and walking around on the roof during your sophomore year.

Although some of the construction was not finished until late in 1976, the construction worker's purpose was very evident in the new facilities which added a total of 95,785 square feet to Northeast.

Sophomores had their chance to view the construction process this year as new office facilities were completed about January 1. The move from second to first floor was made mainly to make the office more accessible. The counselors' offices were then moved to the site of the old office.

Put into use this fall were four new Industrial Arts shops. They were woods, auto-mechanics, electronics, and metals. The only major inconvenience Don Mach cited was the noise. All of the classes were held in one large room with minimum seperation and when the machinery was all running, the noise level was very high.

"I think we're very fortunate to have such a nice facility," was Mrs. Nancy Bishop's comment on the new gym which was in its first full year of use. Noise, however, also seemed to be a problem with several classes using the new gym at the same time. Installation of large curtains helped relieve some of this noise.

The new olympic sized swimming pool was also in its first full year of use. "The water is really cold some days but the pool is so much bigger and deeper it's really nice," was one swimmer's comment.

The vocal music department added one wing including one large rehearsal room, two offices, and three practice rooms. Previously, vocal music classes had to be taught in other rooms when there was more than one class at the same time. Now all classes are located in the music wing in the northeast corner of the building.

Principal Harold Dietrich summed up the feeling of most people using the new facilities by saying, "We're really delighted to have all of the new facilities."

1. The new gym during a rare , quiet moment. 2. The new swimming pool gave a boost to the swim teams and PE classes. 3. Better acoustics complimented vocal groups in the new music wing 4. Modern facilities greet athletes and PE students in new locker room areas. 5. Practice rooms for individual students were an important addition to new music rooms. 6. Although bothered somewhat by high noise levels , the new industrial arts wing was a vast improvement over old facilities. 8. Auto mechanics and other industrial arts classes enjoyed the increased working area in the new industrial arts wing.

so much more mature," stated Administrative Aide Linda Warkow. Vice Principal Jack Anderson agrees. "This was the first time in a number of years there has been a noticeable change in the student body. They're much more courteous to each other and to the faculty members."

Anderson cited perhaps a minor change as a possible reason for the improved student attitude. "The improvement might have been a result of interweaving the lower classmen with upperclassmen by reserving lockers for sophomores", Anderson said.

As the faculty noticed changes in students, students also noticed changes in the facilities.

The new P .E. and swimming locker rooms were also a change for the better. As junior Linda Thomas commented, "The new lockers are really nice because we have room for our equipment and clothes too."

There were also some inconveniences with the gym area. It is loca ted in the far northwest comer

of the building which caused some students to race to their next class if it was on second or third floor.

Also, at the beginning of the year, the hair dryers still weren't installed in the swimming locker area. So, most students went to their next class with wet hair.

A major change for the administration was in progress as school opened in the fall.

The new office facility located on the first floor, will give office help and the administration a convenient location. The office has been located on the second floor, an unusual spot in most high schools. "I think it'll be very functional for us since it's by the front door," Anderson stated.

There were a lot of positive changes in the 76-77 school year at Northeast. But, some negative aspects still remained.

Smoking on campus, the traffic congestion, and the limited amount of parking places, remained as problem areas. However, administrators and students worked towards solving the complications.

As time goes on

and things change, social studies also changed with the time. This year, a new social studies

course was added. It was a psychology class taught three periods a day by Mrs. Donnetta Fansler. Mrs. Fansler focused on areas like human behavior and behavior modification. A · field trip was planned to a nursery school during the year to observe the behavior of a young child.

As in past years Mr. Hank Willemsen, head of the social studies department, taught modern problems class five periods a day. In this class, students look at problems such as child abuse, abortion, crimes, and the presidential election. While studying crime, students were faced with a question, "what is justice?"

Although Willemsen taught the class five days a week, he was still excited when he discussed the course. "I'm very enthusiastic about teaching modern problems, I don't look at it as a bore," Willemsen commented.

There was also a new course added to the business department. Office Internship was a program where students could get a job in an office for at least two hours a day five days a week. To enroll in this program the student must have completed some ki.nd of clerical class.

Mrs. Sandy Christy says there are a number of advantages to the program. For instance, students get paid at least minimum wage, they receive five credits for being enrolled and ten credits for working. It also gives those who would like to work in an office for a career a chance to get experience early.

Changes

marked the beginning of the 197677 school year for the English department. With the addition of many new courses the administration was able to fit the growing needs of students interested in t he field of English.

One of the courses offered was for students interested in a form of speech . The class, entitled Person to Person Communication, was taught by Jim Putman and was described as "for those students

wanting careers involved with working in small groups and getting along with your neighbor. ' '

Also with a little help from the federal government, the department was able to obtain a mall grant for material in film making. The material was labeled Media Now and gave students the chance to participate in actual television production and film making.

Advanced Composition was added for those senior students who had definite plans for college, and also a course called Popular Literature was started for students ·who liked to read best selling novels.

"The administration is trying to develop the whole curriculum ," stated English Department Chairperson Mrs. Marie Kelly. "We wanted to meet the needs of the students and at the same time evaluate and define each course description in detail."

System One Reading was a class added to help students in reading and reading comprehension. It was an individualized course and students worked at their own pace.

Mrs. Marlys Hughes taught at the University of Nebraska in exchange for Mr. Fred Link, a professor at the University. "It was a good chance to. have communication between high school and college levels," commented Mrs . Hughes. "For that way, high school teachers will known how to -prepare their students for college , and college professors know just how much their freshman students know. I think this exchange program should be done more often. "

The foreign language department began -the school year with a new Spanish teacher, Ms. Maria Benevent. Last year, she taught part time at East High and Northeast. Ms. Benevent is originally from Panama and moved to America in 1959. "The students are very personable and easy to work with," commented Ms. Benevent. "Northeast is traditional but pleasant and everyone is so cooperative."

This year a Spanish Club was organized. The club consisted of about 25 students and activities included a Christmas Party and a dinner at a Mexican Restaurant.

You will notice

as you are walking through the halls on third floor, that all the math teachers were in the same area this year. Mr. Buren Thomas, head of the math department, felt that it was definitely more convenient to have all the teachers together. Thomas stated, "It is much easier to share materials, communicate, and discuss problems with all the rooms together."

This year in the general math classes, the teachers used a wide variety of materials rather than the text book. Another new teaching method took place in the computer program classes. Teachers assigned more individual problems, based on individual interest and abilities.

There was a new math teacher added to the Northeast staff this year. Mr. Jim Campbell replaced Mrs. Marge Adams, who retired last year. Campbell teaches three periods of consumer math and two periods of Algebra 3 and 4.

When asked what he thought of

his first year at Northeast, Campbell commented, "I'm real pleased, content and I enjoy the kids."

There were two new sd.ence classes added this year. The course taught first semester was advanced biology, taught by Mr. Dick Temme. To take this class the student must have already had Biology and Chemistry. During the semester the students performed various experiments involving ' fruit flies, metabolism measurements and plants. The students also had a section on the study of the frog and sea urchin embryo. The second course was called project science, and was taught second semester. Mr. Gale Cook was the instructor although students could choose any teacher he wanted to work with on their project. The student had to identify some kind of project involving chemistry. After the student identified the project they wished to work on, he then chose the teacher of his choice to help him with any problems he might have. Other than the teacher being there for advice, the student was on his own.

think we have

the most comprehensive program in the state," remarked vocal music teacher Duane Nichols.

A new vocal teacher joined the staff this year. Mrs. Mary Oestmann took over the responsibilities of 10th grade boys and girls glee, 10th grade mixed chorus, and swing choir

Swing choir was a new class added this year. It replaced mini choir. Another class, chamber choir, is being planned for next year.

This year marked Duane Schulz's 20th year at Northeast and it was an active one. Each of the instrumental music groups performed in at least one public performance. Marching Band decreased in size to a 72-piece marching band. "We may be smaller but we work harder," commented one band member.

Orchestra was also smaller this year, especially second semester after mid-term graduation. They had several performances this year including The All City Orchestra Contest.

"I think everyone should take some home ec," stated senior Rhonda Dawson "It teaches you what

you need to know to live on your own after graduation. "

One of the main topics this year in home ec was economy. Foods students learned about economical food and how to prepare in inexpensive dishes.

"I enjoy my home ec classes because they ' re so practical, " commented one student. Independent Living , previously Bachelor Living , teaches students the basic necessities while other classes such as knitting, crocheting, and foods teach more specific areas

Approximately 1,000 students took art classes some time during this past year. The reasons ranged from just getting the necessary fine arts credits, to planning an art related career. Student Cindy Brinkman commented , "Art gives me a way to express myself and be creative."

The art department made no major changes this year but were busily preparing for many new and specialized classes to be offered next year.

Remember those

8:00 a.m. films in Drivers Education? Well, the Drivers Ed department used those same films this year along with a few guest speakers to help students learn the basics of driving. One of the guest speakers included the city traffic engineer who answered questions students had about our city street planning.

The Drivers Ed classes changed to the quarter system this year. In-

stead of carrying the class through a semester the administration thought it would be better to hold the Drivers Ed class every day for one quarter. ''Instead ofhavingthe class meet only twice a week we thought we would push it all together," stated John McIntyre. "That way students will have the benefit of classroom, simulator and driving all at once and the learning process wouldn't be scattered."

The Industrial Arts department started their first full year in the new Industrial Arts wing and a new class developed especially for girls was started. Any girl who was interested in general car maintenance and car care had a chance to enroll. The class also focused on what to look for in buying a used car. "More girls are taking Industrial Arts classes," stated Don Mach, "because a lot more women are getting jobs in labor forces that have to do with machinery."

There were a few problems with the new facilities though. Noise was the biggest problem. "There's a car shop, woodworking, metal welding and construction class in the same building," commented Mach. "We get the noise from all of the other classes and this building isn't dampered enough."

Also, much of the machinery was missing parts and didn't work. But, after working around these faults classes were provided with 20,000 square feet of space.

"Being a senior

is great, I guess," commented Brian Dittmer.

A senior has a lot of mixed · feelings such as Dittmer's. There's a feeling of joy and happiness. You've been attending school for 13 years and nowyou're getting out, to start a new part of life.

Sadness also comes over the senior. As one senior puts it, "I feel sad that this is my last year to be with all the people I know so well and have come to understand. Yet there is a certain amount of anxiety to move on and be independent in a different sort of environment outside of school."

Moving on to start that life can be difficult. It's a time for decisions. What should you do?

Northeast has helped quite a few seniors make this decision with the variety of classes they offer.

Some senior oriented classes in 1976-77 included life sports, sociology, exploring childhood, clerical office procedures, and modern problems.

As one senior noted while summarizing modern problems, "You see how problems in the world affect you. Whereas before I never paid any attention because I didn't realize how they affected me."

Friends also have a big effect on the senior's life. The people you've

been with for three years at high school may soon be leaving. "I'm happy that I'll finally be out of school but at the same time sad that I will have to leave so many friends behind," commented one senior.

Friends aren't the only things that will be missed. The pep rallies, games, being a sophomore and not being able to open your locker. All the fun at Mac's and Burger King. The cruising down "O" street, and getting to class on time are other vivid senior memories.

These memories and a lot more will be with seniors forever.

For many juniors,

their middle year in high school may seem unimportant. However, it plays a very important part in a high school student's life. Junior Sandy Shadley commented, "I think juniors serve as a means of unifying the three classes. Sophomores are more likely to relate better to juniors, while a senior may look back to a junior for memories and some support once in a while." ·

As juniors, the class of '78 became more involved in school activities and began seriously considering the future, and what they might do after graduation.

"This year has been a turning point for me. I know now what my real interests are, and what I want to do after I'm out of school," commented Liz Fleck.

Juniors who planned to go to college in th e near future took a .PSAT test (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test) as preparation for ACT and SAT which they may take their senior year. The test serves as · an indication as to whether college is advisable. The most important result of this test however, was to

make juniors look ahead to the future.

However, looking ahead did not take up all of the time for juniors. Many were involved in athletics, pep club, band, Student Council and various other organizations.

Juniors dominated Student Council this year with the majority of members being juniors including the president, Kathy Moore.

As one junior girl stated, "We really fit in this year. We're right in the middle of everything."

For a sophomore

their first year at Northeast can be difficult but fun. Mixed feelings were present the first day of school but all of those unfamiliar faces soon became your friends.

Getting used to Northeast itself and finding rooms were some of the first pro bl ems sophomores faced. "I felt somewhat lost," commented Annette Lovriegn. "But after falling down a few stairs, forgetting my locker combination regularly and tripping in front of some senior guys - I began to feel that I belonged."

Sophomores chose from a wide variety of courses. The only required class for a sophomore was English 10. "I like all of the teachers I have met and I like Northeast's environment and selection of courses ," stated one sophomore.

Also, students participated in many different clubs and activities. Dances and pep rallies were also k~own to all sophomores.

Open campus was also new to sophomores. "I feel more freedom than in junior high," stated a sophomore.

Some were excited as they expressed the feeling of being in a larger school with more students. As Danielle DaMoude stated, "Together with others is the most important thing in the world. Nothing we do is worth anything if we don't share it."

Rewriting the

constitution is one of the main goals the student council set for this year. Along with rewriting the constitution, "We want to provide the student body at Northeast a voice in the school policy. We are working on promoting better relations among students, teachers, administrators, and communities. We are also trying to promote worthwhile projects in the school and community," stated student council advisor Mr. Dave Strange.

Hoping to represent the student

body in the right perspective, the student council appointed one person to sit in on many of the board meetings, and to voice opinions for the students.

The student council was composed of 26 members. Kathy Moore was president; Kathy Surface, vice president; Karen Ruhmann, secretary; and Larry Kohmetscher, treasurer.

Projects the student council completed this year included selling links to raise funds for AFS, and a pie in the face contest, to promote a better relationship between teachers and the student body. Plans for the future were to try to promote an effective traffic control program around Northeast, to get a student lounge, to provide better student representation, and to try to initiate a student advisory program. Strange commented "I think we need an advisory program where stud en ts can give ad vice to other students."

The student council was hoping to raise enough money to send students to leadership workshops. "After attending these workshops the student would be qualified to provide more leadership here at Northeast," stated Strange.

In the spring

of 1976 Daryl Blue, advisor of the Rocket staff, chose a group of students to publish the yearbook. When asked how he went about choosing the staff, Blue stated, "I have interviews, I consider if they've had journalism, and what I know about the individual."

"The staff had a problem with organization at the beginning of the year," Rocket editor Lindy Schwarzenbach stated. She went on to say, "We weren't as organized as we should have been."

The staff changed some aspects of the book this year. For instance, Schwarzenbach says, "we changed the style of the book a little." In specific areas of change Blue commented, "We went back to something from two or three years ago. We're inserting quotes from the stu-

dent body and faculty, expressing feelings and different moods."

"Another different method the staff used was to give each club a set number of pages. If clubs wanted more pages, · they would have to pay $20 a page for each extra page. This was done because of the financial burden of publishing the yearbook."

According to editor Schwarzenbach the staffs goal is "to put out a book that will help students remember this year at Northeast."

In this book the Rocket staff hopes to provide memories and a record of this particular school year. Blue commented, "It's probably one of the best times the students will have and we hope to capture some of those mom en ts in the yearbook."

making the paper for the students, something that would interest them," stated editor of the Northeastern, Lori Sundeen.

The newspaper staff puts out eighteen issues a year and Sundeen added that one of the main ideas when putting out a newspaper is to make each issue better than the last.

Communication breakdowns were one of the few problems the staff encountered this year, but they were all solved. Sports reporter Janet LaFollette commented, · "The staff, as a whole, gets along very well."

As in previous years, finances posed a major worry but the ad staff worked very hard and they did make money on a few issues.

Some students complained about the alleged overabundance of sports coverage this year. But Sundeen said that the paper focused

more on the school this year and sports did seem to be a major interest at Northeast.

What did the staff feel they got out of being on the newspaper this year? A few responses included, , "fun , a lot of pride, and a sense of ! responsibility."

Bernard Godeaux

was Northeast's 1976-1977 AFS student. Bernard is from Belgium and arrived in the United States inJuly of 1976.

Bernard noted a lot of differences between Belgi utn and United States schools. In Belgium they have 14 or 15 classes a day and attend school from 8:00 a m. to 5:00 p.m. Most of the classes they take

· are required and they don't mix grades in classes.

You seldom wear jeans to school in Belgium. Jeans are worn around the house and for dirty work. The average pair of jeans cost between $20 00-$30.00.

The student-teacher feedback is also different. "You speak more freely to teachers in the U.S. than in Belgium," Bernard says.

' Gas is three times more expensive in Belgium than it is here. Very few teens have cars and if they do they use them sparingly. You must be 18 to drive in Belgium.

Students in Belgium seldom work during the school week, but

put in their hours during vacations and weekends. Their activities mainly consist of studying, reading , or going to a party.

, "There is no age limit on drinking beer in Belgium. So, it's normal to drink, people don't drink just to get drunk." Bernard stated as he continued to compare the two countries.

Another big difference Bernard noted was our use of corsages. In Belgium they have very few big, formal dances. "When we ask a girl out, it's not just one night, we have many dates following that." Friendships are not taken casually in Belgium either. People are more friendly here, but it's hard to have close friends, in the United States. In Belgium, you have a small circle of very close friends. Bernard will leave behind a number of friends as the hands of time take him back to Belgium at the end of the school year.

"It's unfortunate that more students don't support the AFS more actively in helping with fund raising." - Mrs. Evans

of DECA is to get involved in social and civic activities, and to observe businesses and how they're run,"

states senior vice-president, Mary Bender.

DECA was involved in quite a

few activities this year. They sponsored a dance at Northeast and, sold concessions at Northeast games. They also had a flying party at the YMCA.

Also, a trip to Kansas City to observe how TWA and General Motors are set up highlighted the year.

They also attended three conferences. A four day regional conference in Wichita and a state leadership conference in Omaha. The group also attended a statewide conference in Lincoln and learned how different businesses were set up.

They also held an employeeemployer banquet, where members bring their employees to the banquet.

Inter-city DECA has three members from Northeast: Mary Bender, Pam Thompson, Chris Saur. They also sponso;r the DECA bowling league.

"The National Forensic League

(NFL) is an honorary organization," states senior president Kurt Kinbacher.

To become a member of NFL you 1 must be in the upper quarter of your class arid earn 25 points in extracurricµlar forensic activities.

Sonie extra-curricular activities that earn points are debate, oratory, oral interpretations, extemporaneous speaking and dinner speaking.

It is possible to earn four degrees in NFL. "To give you an idea of the difficulty in achieving your degrees you get four points for every debate you win and two points for each loss," states Kinbacher.

Activities this year included a water skiing party, a New Years' Eve party and a dinner initiation.

"We're trying to make the club more active," states sponsor Mr. Jack Mueller. "We would like to sponsor things for school and more school projects."

to New Orleans that brought a lot of publicity in school this year," commented Mrs. Laurie Evans, French Club sponsor. In past years, the French Club wasn't very well known at Northeast but the trip to New Orleans this past summer made everyone more aware of the club.

The club has 15-20 members, but only two went to New Orleans . Jane Waddel was one of them. Jane's only regret was that she didn't get to visit the small towns in Louisiana.

The French Club plans to take another trip this summer, but are undecided what their destination will be. When asked if she would go to New Orleans again Jane stated, "It depends on how I am financially."

Projects or activities the club participated in throughout the year

included a French style picnic in October. The members ate French food they had made. In early November the club had a French costume party, where all members dressed up like a well known French person. One member dressed up as the famous French deep sea diver, Jacques Cousteau while another dressed up as Inspec: tor Clousseau, from the Pink Panther.

Other plans included a French monopoly marathon where the members started playing at 1:30 p.m. and played until someone won, or until 9:00 p.m., whatever came first.

Money making projects included a stationary drive, huge bake sales and selling French perfume.

Mrs. Evans said with enthusiasm, "our goal in French Club is to do fun things related to the French culture that they wouldn't have time to do in class. Also to experience various aspects of the : French culture in a fun way."

"Our purpose

is to have fun dancing various folk dances that people have had fun dancing for centuries," commented Mrs. Laurie Evans, Dance Troupe sponsor.

Although the number of participants in the club was small, members held meetings about once a week. In the spring, the club started performing for other schools, nursing homes, churches, and other groups in Lincoln.

Requirements for membership in Dance Troupe were mandatory attendance at rehearsals. Members did not have to enroll in a foreign language class.

Dance Troup members for 197677 included Dave Borkowski, Becky Kroese, Nancy Kruse, Lori Robinson, Rich Willits and Sheryl Gaddis.

member of Thespians, an individual had to earn at least ten points. The method of earning points 'was by being in a play or skit, and how well you played your role. The more responsibility the individuals had the more points they received. "Last year some students graduated with well over 100 points," commented Thespian sponsor Jim Putman.

This year, the Thespians sponsored the Homecoming half-time show. They were also very involved in the all-school plays. The Thespians had two banquets and went Christmas caroling. By selling candy and having a rocking chair rocka-thon, the Thespians were hopeful to raise enough money to support the Thespian chapter to the Gutrie Theatre in Minneapolis. At this theatre the Thespians would be observing various kinds of plays.

First semester positions were Ann Atkinson, president; Bonnie Lutz, vice president; Becky Blanchard, secretary; and Gini Dunn, treasurer.

Activities included a meeting two nights a week, a program in February at a Methodist Church, and in the spring, several programs for senior citizens.

FFA is to build leadership, confidence, and character," states FFA sponsor Lloyd Schmadeke. "We also try to instill a drive towards a winning spirit through our contests."

Northeast's FFA chapter, the only competitive one in the city, experienced a good year. Teri Roberts was just one position away from a gold medal at state competition and Cindy Doll finished just three places from a gold medal.

Northeast winners in the national horticulture contests included Roberts, Doll, Kathy Antrim, and Teri West.

The agriculture department was housed in new facilities this year making Northeast's department one of the largest in the state as far as facilities are concerned. Unfortunately, the outdated equipment hampered efforts in some contests,

but Schmadeke thinks the new facilities outweigh other disadvantages.

The FFA was also active in Building Our American Community (BOAC) and planted numerous gardens. When harvest time arriv·ed, the Northeast FFA chapter harvested the crop and gave the food to the needy.

Montage is

a class taught the first quarter of the second semester. Instructor Mrs. Barbara Kos and a staff of students choose writings submitted by students and faculty for publication in Northeast's literary magazine, Montage. ·

The magazine was scheduled for publication this year sometime around the middle of May.

Perhaps the biggest roadblock for this year's staff was the time lapse for copy. "We are ha vi ng some problems getting copy b a ck for the magazine from the p rinters," commented senior staff me mber Barb Scott.

Material for the magazin e is chosen according to what app e a rs most interesting and best wri tten.

The publication also faced an identity crisis Even though the magazine has been a part of Northeast since the 1960's, students a re not aware of it. The staff hope d to publicize the magazine in h opes that more students would purchase Montage.

The Rocket Stage Band

had a busy year. They performed at all honors assemblies, a pancake feed, at Wesleyan, and several performances in clinics and at the spr1ng concert.

Stage Band members for the most part were involved in at least one other instrumental music class and they met first period four days a week

Orchestra, as in past years, performed in the musical, the Christmas program, and the spring concert. Some Orchestra members participated in the State Music Clinic which involved juniors and seniors in both band and orchestra. The size of orchestra fluctuated quite a bit this year starting and ending the year short of members. Having less members did not prevent the orchestra from working hard and presenting concerts.

Prep Band is generally known as being a band for people who don't qualify for advanced band. Although this is partially true, there are several other reasons for people being placed in Prep Band. Many times there are not openings in Advanced Band for a particular instrument or other interests interfere with marching band or there might be a general disinterest in marching.

Whatever the reason, Prep Band was a popular class and they also performed in the Spring Concert.

the school more pep and enthusiasm. That's one of our main purposes at games," cited band member Sarah McCracken.

The band started their year two weeks before school began in preparation for the first football name and for marching in their first halftime show. They performed in four half-time shows and at all home games, both basketball and football. The band also marched at the State Fair this year, and did several shows while they were there.

After basketball season, they became a concert band, preparing for the All-City Solo Ensemble Contest and Mid-East Band Festival Contest. Mid-East involved four other high schools from various parts of Nebraska.

Later in the year, the band performed in a vesper concert with the yocal classes and a spring concert which involved all of the instrumental groups.

Once again, the band played in the contest between the four public high schools.

"Pride, that's the main thing. This is our chance to represent our

school and show the other high schools just how well we can play," stated one dedicated band member.

Six band members are chosen every May to perform at games with the band. They are the twirlers who included: Juniors Karen Karr and Patty Heussmann and Seniors Crystal Grant, Vonita Calkins, Susan Mullins and head twirler Pam Martin.

The twirlers didn't have a sponsor this year which sometimes created problems in communication with the Star-Strutters and Band Director Duane Schulz concerning per- formances at games. This year the twirlers performed at all home football games, two basketball games and the spring concert. They also marched with

"We hope we give

the band during their performances at the State Fair. Because the twirlers were also band members, twirling practices had to be held other times in the day.

Every spring, tryout practices are held six weeks before tryouts. The twirlers are chosen by present twirlers, Mr. Schulz, and the drum majors. Uniforms for the next year are chosen at that time.

"The excitement of performing in front of people makes· all the trouble worthwhile," stated Crystal Grant.

A number of changes took place in the choral groups department his year. First of all, Mrs. Velma Snook was replaced by Mrs. Mary Oestmann. Mrs. Snook retired last year. Mrs. Oestmann teaches two sophomore mixed chorus classes, men's glee, women's gl~e, and voice. She is also in charge of the swing choir. Another change that took place was a name change from girls' glee and boys' glee to women's and men's. This was Mrs. Oestmann's idea because she felt they are men and women, rather than boys and girls. These two groups were also changed from non-selective to selective groups this year.

Making the choir a smaller group was another change in the music department. Mr. Duane Nichols, instructor of choir explained, "This was done to make choir more of a selective group. Consequently I think it has been a better group how," added Nichols.

Last of all, the Christmas program was different this year. Rather than having all the groups perform in one night they were divided into two nights. Nichols explained, "This was done so that each group could do more music. And also so that when the group got up to sing the audience could see them." Before, there were so many people that it was hard for a parent to see his or her child perform.

This year the music department also got another pianist, Mrs. Barbara Johnson. She played for Mrs. Oestmann's classes and Mrs. Norma Bennett played for Mr. Nichol's classes.

Mr. Nichols teaches sophomore girls' glee, concert choir, voice, 11th and 12th mixedchorus,and theory. He is also in charge of the octet and triple trio. The 11th and 12th mixed chorus class was a new class this year. It is a non-selective class for students who just need a period for fine arts or for those who are interested in light kinds of music.

1. Triple Trio members: Bev Swartz, Denise Riley, Kim Coffey, accompanist Jan Scheer, Crystal Glass, Kim Ketterer, Sondra Grabowski, Donna Hennecke, Cindy McCormick, Julie Johnson. 2. Sophomore mixed chorus performs at the Winter Choral Festival.

The 1976-77 school musical,

"Annie Get Your Gun," was presented on April 21 and 22.

Mary Bender played the part of Annie Oakley and John Snell played the part of Frank Butler, the two main roles in the musical. Snell commented, "everything ran very smoothly."

Mr. Duane Nichols took over the duty of director of the musical this year. He felt the musical was very good. Snell added, "we practiced many hours, at least two hours every day, for two months prior to

the performance."

When asked why he tried out for the musical, Snell expressed, "I thought I could help the show. When you're in choir, that's all you think about, springtime and the musical. It's a good way to express yourself."

Other roles included: Buffalo Bill -Andy Childress, Charlie Davenport - Chris Johnson, Dolly Tate

'The Miracle Worker,'

was the first semester play at Northeast, and was the first play Miss Lynne Carrell had directed at Northeast. It was a great success with over 700 people attending the two evening performances.

The play was difficult to present since it had such a big set.

Ann Atkinson, who portrayed Annie Sullivan, and has been in five other Northeast plays, commented, "It was the most demanding and challenging play I've been in here. I had to develop my emotion range."

The play was Vicki Renner' s first at Northeast. She portrayed Helen Keller. To most of us that would seem to be a difficult part. But as Vicki puts it, "My part wasn't that tough since I didn't have any lines. However it was hard not to look at people. At first it gave me a headache "

The play was presented in three acts with a 10 minute intermission. The play is set in the 1880's, around the Keller homestead. Helen Keller, a blind and deaf girl, and her partially blind teacher, Annie Sullivan, had an uphill struggle trying to teach Helen discipline and language .

Helen's parents, portrayed by Pam Simonsen and John Knape, didn't help Annie's struggle. Since they tolerated Helen's tantrums, their pity and love for Helen could not bring them to discipline the child. Annie had to break the Keller's barrier before she could reach Helen. Annie was not easily discouraged.

At the end of the two weeks Helen was well disciplined. However, language was still far from her reach.

To Annie the ~ituation seemed

hopeless. Then a miracle happened. Helen realized what water was.

Now she could understand language and keep on learning. The rest of the cast included: DoctorTony Williams, Martha - Michelle Magruder, Percy - Doug Kruse, Aunt Ev - Linda Leja, James - Rich Willits, AnagnosDave Williams, Viney - Theresa Cartagena, blind girls - Sandy Aksamit, Phyllis Currier, Ginny Dunn, Karen Jordan, Penny Liddick, and Val Micheltree, PollySue_Morris, Belle - Peanut.

"When I read

'The Matchmaker,, it made me laugh," Northeast drama instructor James Putman said of the second semester all-school play performed March 17 and 18.

"I read 30-35 plays," Putman said of his selection, "and I looked for one with a large cast which allowed plenty of people to act on stage. 'The Matchmaker, has some unusual characters which give the actors a chance to try some different type roles."

"The Matchmaker," a four act comedy written by Thornton Wilder is set in New York during the 1890,s. The plot is based around a

rich Yonker's merchant who employs a matchmaker to find ~im a wife and then later after a senes of complications, finds himself romantically interested in the matchmaker.

Putman referred to the play as a farcical comedy and very appealing to the student body.

The ninth year drama instructor explained that putting on a production as large as an all-school play is very time consuming for everyone involved.

"To make a play successful, it takes a lot of hard work and some talented peopie. All of the cast spent a lot of time on the play. rm extremely pleased with all of the cast members for their personal and time committments," Putman said.

Putman reserved special praise for Miss Lynne Carrell, also a Northeast drama instructor. "Miss Carrell designed and made some really outstanding period costumes from the 1890,s. She just did some really outstanding things with costumes. 'The Matchmaker' may be the best costume show in any high school and we also hope the best play," Putman concluded.

Teachers Duane Schulz and Jim Campbell decide what number to play next. 3. Lori Sundeen strikes a cute pose following her modern dance routine. 4.

Due to

the

lack of sponsorship and student interest Rocket Revue had experienced a three year absence from Northeast. ''We wouldn't have had a Rocket Revue this year if students

hadn't shown their interest and found a sponsor," cited Larry Kohmetscher.

Included in the many acts in the Rocket Revue was a big 50' s set which brought back the 50's with song and dance.

Also included in the show were skits, singing groups, and soloists.

MC's for the Rocket Revue were Bonnie Lutz and Ray Brown. Instead of having the usual MC interlude then an act, they tried to make it one big production by letting the acts flow together.

To get into the Rocket Revue students had to perform their act in front of a panel of judges that consisted of faculty members and students. They then evaluated the act and informed students if the act was accepted.

"It's a great way for kids · with talent to express it," Kohmetscher commented.

the wheels for the intramural program for girls," expressed GAA (Girls Athletic Association) sponsor Mrs. Vietta Short.

Members of GAA set up and plan the intramural activites which included bowling, skating, tennis, swimming and softball. ·

GAA membership suffered some this year due to Mrs. Short's absence for a lengthy period of time, and the expansion of varsity sports. Many members of GAA are also involved in varsity sports, and this caused a decline in their participation in GAA activities.

Mrs. Short returned to sponsor the group during the final quarter, and spearheaded many picnics and the annual mother-daughter banquet.

With Penguins'

sponsor Vietta Short absent from practices during most of the second and third quarter due to surgery, preparation for the advanced synchronized swimming class's annual water show could have easily slipped away. However, with the aid of physical education instructor Nancy Bishop, the 25 girls that participated in the May 19 and 21 show continued work on schedule.

For Bishop, helping the girls practice was a new experience, and challenging. "I've never done anything with the Penguins show before," Bishop said. "I think the biggest challenge for me was to learn the different stunts with the girls. Sychronized swimming is really a beautiful athletic activity, and I enjoyed helping the girls."

Senior Penguins' President Sue Heussman explained that Bishop was indeed helpful. "With Mrs. Bishop not knowing all of the stunts, I think it was really hard for her, but she did a good job of helping."

During the final weeks of Mrs. Short's absence, the group selected a three ring circus as the theme for this year's show and began working out the acts for the show. The girls also held a banquet for the installation of second semester officers.

Second semester officers were: President Sue Heussman, Vice-

President Jan Scheer, Secretary Patty Heussman, Treasurer Donna Henecke, and Student director Linda Johnson.

"Last year with our theme being the Bicentennial, we pretty well knew what we were going to do for acts. This year, we had to select the theme and work a little more on selecting the acts. The circus theme is really exciting. It's a neat atmosphere and we get the crowd involved." ,

Penguins is not all fun and excitement, it is also hard work. To join the seventh period class a girl must be able to swim half a mile and do basic stunts. Also, once the planning and organization of the show is finished practicing on the show takes many after school hours. However, Sue spoke for all the girls in saying, '!It's hard work as everything is, but it is also fun."

Pep Club

is organized for girls who have an interest in promoting school spirit. "Pep Club makes me feel more involved with school activities," remarked second semester President Lisa Walbridge.

The constitution was revised again this year, with the biggest change taking place in the merit system. The demerit-merit system was discontinued and replaced with a simply a merit system. The new system set a certain number of merits that had to be achieved in a one month period. If a girl didn't make the number of merits, she had one month to make that amount up. If at the end of another month there was still a lack of points, she would then be dismissed from the club.

Activities this year included selling candy at the beginning of the year which raised around $2,000 for the club. Pep Club also sponsored the turn-about dance and migrations to Hastings and Omaha. The club also elected a spirit boy and spirit girl. Gary Karthauser and -Jan Hester were chosen along with Mrs. Nancy Bishop, who was named spirit teacher.

"The varsity cheerleaders

let us do a lot more this year," stated reserve cheerleader Brenda Frey. Reserve cheerleaders got the chance to play a pep rally and also cheer at varsity games, something they have not done in previous years.

"It's a lot of work," commented Pam Cassell of the time it takes to be a reserve cheerleader.

The girls were involved in many activities throughout the summer as they prepared for the opening of school. They met a number of times during the summer to practice cheers and just get to know each ! other better.

Besides cheering at reserve boys games, they were also in charge of all cheerleading activities involving girls varsity sports. They made cookies for the sophomore and reserve basketball teams and also for the wrestling team. During the summer, a garage sale was held to help raise money for the group.

"Mrs. King really requires us to put cheerleading first," cited Frey, but she added "I wouldn't want to give it up."

One of the few problems mentioned was that second semester the reserve cheerleaders met sev- · enth period, and the varsity cheerleaders met after school. This arrangement caused a few communication problems. But, as Frey commented, "cheerleading teaches you how to cooperate and work with others to solve all kinds of problems."

Reserve cheerleaders spark spirit in the Rockets. B. Brenda Frey ends the cheer with a big shout.

"The biggest reward

in cheerleading is wh~n the athlete of the not-so-popular sports are glad to see you there cheering them on," commented cheerleader Teri Bullock.

The purpose of cheerleading is to promote school spirit and to get students involved in sports.

Being a cheerleader requires quite a bit of time, considering weekly meetings, pre-game dinners, planning pep rallies, and making door signs for each person in a varsity sport.

The cheerleaders sponsored quite a few activities in 1976-77 including a garage sale, and dances at Northeast. They sold concessions at the games and had a chili feed for the varsity football team. They also made pillow cases for the wrestling and swimming teams.

"If you're gonna be a cheerleader you have to be willing to work," states squad member Denise Riley.

Cheer leaders started practicing as soon as school was out in 1976 and all through the summer. Clinics

were held at Denver and in Kansas.

Cheerleader sponsor Mrs. Marla King keeps everything organized and keeps ideas going for pep rallies. S~e also has to okay everything that goes into the pep rally.

Qualifications of a cheerleader include having at least a 4.0 grade average. You must also be able to do a cartwheel and the splits. And perhaps the most important, they must have lots of Rocket spirit.

The Northeast Star

Strutters are not just a drill team. The 18 members of the group learn more than just how to perform during halftime at football and basketball games. "They learn a lot of things," explained sponsor Mrs. Donetta Fansler.

"The girls learn self discipline, how to set up goals, how to accept criticism and more. We're constantly striving to improve, in fact that is one of our rules, to never be satisfied with a performance.

"We practice five nights ·a week during the year and the girls also have to give up their summers. The girls sacrifice individual goals and other activities to accomplish team goals. But by the end of the year I can see where a lot of the girls have improved in coordination, rhythm, posture and especially self-confidence," Fansler said.

·The Star Strutters' husy schedule of practices, activities and performances ended this year with two final performances at the Nebraska Sports Complex during the boys and girls state basketball tournaments. The northeast drill team was the only Lincoln school represented at either tournament, however that is only a small part of Fansler's pride.

"Performing at the state tournaments was like frosting on the cake," Fansler said. "We've operated all year long on the basis that we are only as good as our last performance. All year you work · and you hope what you've been striving for comes out in that final performance.

"The two performances at state were really fantastic," Fansler said. "People who didn't care or know a bit about Northeast applauded. And at the end of our routine, as the girls marched off the floor people were yelling 'more.' It was fun and it gave the girls a lot of confidence to end the year."

Tryouts for the Star Strutters are held in April each year. Last year 110 girls, from which the final 18 were selected, signed up.

All the learning and experience of a group such as the Star Strutters is not totally based on how well the group performs. Instead, as Fansler pointed out, the important thing is how well each ·

girl adapts to the team. Fansler uses a gripe session to give the girls a chance to voice any internal problems. Seniors Sharon Neimeyer and Kim Hansen explained.

"We had our problems but, I think it (Star Strutters) helped me a lot," Sharon said. "It's like a family. You always have someone to turn to. You get so you can work, cooperate and just better understand people. I know I have a lot more confidence now."

Juniors grabbed

most of the honors in the annual Spirit Week festivities, held January 11-14.

The juniors won the hall decorating contest between classes and junior pep club members dominated the sign contests. Liz Fleck, Jill Gifford, and Tracy Halvorsen won the prize for the sign that best fit the theme. Juniors Patty Huessmann, Gale Storm, and Karen Karr received the award for

best overall sign. Senior Teri Bullock broke the junior domination when her sign was voted the most original.

But, honors seemed almost secondary as all three classes combined for a week of rousing spirit topped off with the pep rally.

This year's theme was "Round 'em up" and days were set aside for the student body and faculty to wear various items to fit the theme.

Toy guns, bandanas, sweatpants and boots were chosen as the fashion mode to make everyone aware that the Rocket teams were out to "round up" some victories.

Various skits and contests at the Friday pep rally also emphasized the theme. One boy from each class was chosen to have his-face covered with shaving cream. Then, squirt guns were given to a girl from the same class. The object? The girls battled to see which one could clean all the shaving cream off by squirting water on the guys' face. Again the junior team of Kathy Moore and Craig Slaby defeated the other two classes.

Also elected during Spirit Week were Jan Hester (Spirit Girl), Gary Karthauser (Spirit Boy), and Mrs. Nancy Bishop (Spirit Teacher).

Tradition,

determination and sportsmanshi:r, are the things that come to mind when talking about Northeast athletics. It's these ingredients that give Northeast a reputation for being a foundation in Nebraska high school sports.

The cornerstone of that foundation was laid in 1942 when Northeast opened its doors. Unknowingly, those dedicated athletes began a tradition that continues today. The fan support that followed the Rockets as far west as Scottsbluff thirty years ago still exists. Northeast fans usually far outnumber the hometown crowd.

There must be something, some secret bond that unites the families, the businesses and communities of Northeast Lincoln into one big sect. This building has represented a kind of monument to these people, and athletics has been a major contributing force.

With the inception of girls athletics, one more link has been added to the ever growing chain called pride. "ROCKET PRIDE."

All sports minded people seem to

have the ability to succeed in anything they try. The determination they show on the field, the court or diamond continues long after the last second has ticked off the clock. Coaches can drill and prepare, but the result comes only from within each and every participant. The desire to win in life and sports goes beyond any amount of preparation. Without the desire, the hours of study and preparation are for naught.

Time is the element that goes against us. Yesterday's stars and record breakers are today only faded names etched in a book of facts and figures. That all important play and those crucial points of long ago are now only faded memories echoing in the back of our minds.

Many of the dedicated young men and women whose names and faces adorn these few pages might 1be forgotten years from now. But the special ingredient they possessed will not. That special ingredient is PRIDE, and pride IS Lincoln Northeast.

"You feel pride if you think you've done the best you can" - a Rocket gymnast .

Pick.ed number two

in preseason ratings, the Rockets opened the season with a 25-0 loss to eventual state champion Lincoln Southeast.

The Knights' first break came when they recovered a fumble on the Rocket 32 and scored six plays later. The Rockets couldn't gain any momentum as Southeast went in at halftime with a 12-0 lead.

A third quarter drive was stalled as Southeast picked off a Doug Berka pass. Northeast threatened on the Southeast 13, but failed to make a fourth and three situation.

A 12-0 lead was not the end for the Knights as quarterback Ed Davis came back with a 41 yard bomb to take a 18-0 lead. With 6:24 remaining in the game, Southeast's final score came on a 90 yard drive

"Losing to Southeast was probably the most disappointing thing I have ever experienced," commented Senior Jay Marshall. But more disappointments were to come as the Rockets lost four of the next seven games by a total of nine points.

Northeast's first touchdown of the season came against the North Platte Bulldogs. After a scoreless first quarter, senior halfback Joe Prai rambled 15 yards to give the Rockets a 6-0 lead.

North Platte capitalized on a Northeast furn ble and took a 7-6 lead at halftime.

After a 16 yard gain to the Rocket four yard line in the final quarter, the Bulldogs managed to push the score to 13-6. The PAT was good giving them a 14-6 lead.

With 3:45 left in the game, wingback Marshall caught a 21 yard pass from Berka. Three plays later, Berka took it in from the one. The two point conversion fell short when Prai was stopped at the two. North Platte held on to edge the Rockets 14-12. "After the North Platte loss, the players were wondering what was the matter," said Head Coach Bob Els.

The Rockets then bounced back to gain their first win of the season by defeating Millard 26-14.

A cold, rainy, Friday night was the setting for the traditionally nard hitting game against Lincoln High.

The Rockets and the Links exchanged leads several times. Northeast was first on the board, marching 80 yards in 10 plays. But for each time the Rockets scored, the Links came back to regain the lead.

The high note for the evening was when senior middle guard John Berry blocked a Lincoln High

punt and Herman Nitzel recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. However, the final gun sounded with a 26-25 edge to Lincoln High.

The Rockets then fell at the wire against Papillion, 15-14.

Playing East High has always been an emotional rivalry. Northeast has failed to top the Spartans in the last five years. Although the two clubs had similar records, and the playoff hopes were gone for both teams, the game still had a hint of tradition.

So evenly matched were the two teams, there was no score in the first half.

First half action gave the Spartans scoring opportunities on two occasions, but a tough Rocket defense held when Berry recovered a Spartan fumble on the nine and Marshall picked off a pass. Northeast marched 7 4 yards in the fourth quarter to defeat East 7-0.

The Rockets traveled. to Hastings the next week. With their 31-29 victory over the Tigers, the Northeast offense racked up the most points during the season.

Trailing 14-0 at the end of the first quarter, the Rockets got on the scoreboard when senior Split end Jerry Dittenberran 36 yards for the score. Junior kicker, Joel Dawson, added a field goal as the Rockets trailed 14-10 at the half.

With Berka at the controls in the second half, the Rockets scored. three times, a thirteen-yard run by Senior Rob Farleigh in the third quarter, and two drives of 41 and 28 yards, with Berka going over from the one both times.

Hastings managed a tally late in the game as the Rockets edged the Tigers 31-29.

"We knew we could win, all we had to do was set our minds and do it," commented Marshall. With minds set, the Rockets did it, topPing number one rated Ralston 20-12.

Senior quarterback, Doug Berka, marking his finest performance of his high school career, rushed 14 times for 118 yards and connected for 126 yards on eight passes.

The Rockets took an early 6-0 lead in the first quarter when Berka hit sophomore Jeff Svoboda for a 30 yard touchdown pass. Ralston

came back to knot the score at six apiece when they marched 70 yards for the TD.

Taking over at their own 20 yard line, the Rockets got on the board with a little razzle dazzle. After moving to the 31, Berka pitched to Junior Steve Damkroger, who pitched to Senior Ron Huber, who found Svoboda open down the sidelines for a 39 yard gain. Farleigh topped the drive, pushing the ball over from the eight.

After recovering a fumble on the Ralston 36 yard line, Berka hit Junior Jim Slosson on a 30 yard pass to account for the Rockets' final score.

Seniors Don Tipton and Tom Svehla, along with Steve Damkroger, were named to the JournalStar All-City team selections. Damkroger also earned first team All-State honors as a linebacker. Svehla was awarded honorable mention as a safety.

"The unity and

harmony of the team was good, even though we had many new faces playing for us this year. I thought the boys played well, considering they were all new. Most of them have not even played sophomore football. The team always hit hard and ran hard," commented reserve football coach Clayton Luther.

Even though the Rocket reserves fell to a 3-5 record this season, they still kept their chins up and prepared for the next game.

"We had some trouble at the first of the year We should have maybe put out a little more effort," commented offensive tackle Neil Packett. "All the c~ty games we played we played tough. We had a few bad breaks and lost by one or two points." The Rockets lost close games to Southeast (6-8), East High (6-7), Lincoln High (13-14), and Fremont (14-15), but came back with victories over Papillion (14-6), Millard (14-7), and Ralston (40-0) .

" There are always letdowns in a game or season for anybody, but the attitude in which you play the game counts also," commented assistant coach Marvin Musil. "I thought the attitude was good during games and practices. If I had to pick out any outstanding players, I couldn 't because they were all an outstanding group of ballplayers."

Desire to improve,

to win and to play well is the attitude the sophomore football squad took with them into each game. This philosophy paid off as the class of '79 ended the season 7-0 and finished first in city, TransN ebraska, and I-80 races.

Tom Curry credited good coaching as a contributing factor to the success of this year's team. "Mr. Willemsen is a hot tempered coach," remarked Curry. "And as a result, the players respond well to that."

The sophomores opened the season with a 16-13 victory over Southeast in a game decided on extra point attempts. The sophs rushed for 205 yards on 43 carries. "Southeast was a good team," stated Willemsen. "We knew ifwe won the first game we ' d have a chance to have a good season."

The sophomores played perhaps their best game of the season in a 42-0 shutout of East . "We went into the game thinking they (East) would be tough," stated Curry, "but they were easy. We just took it to

'em." Jim Prai was the leading rusher with 117 yards on 15 carries and three touchdowns. The sophs then went on to register impressive wins over Papillion (66-24), Beatrice (41-12) and a 14-12 squeaker over Ralston. Willemsen emphasized the importance of the sophomore football program by saying that it not only stressed the basic fundamentals such as proper blocking, tackling and stance but it also helps them (the players) in proper techniques for reserve and varsity ball.

Curry led the team in rushing with 560 yards. Pat Neill contributed 279 yards and Prai added 265.

"The kids

Ending the season with a 3- 7 record, Rathe termed the season a success and a year of building and reaching goals.

Senior Bret Iba held the n um her

one singles position on varsity. Juniors Russ Hoover, Trevor Lavy, and Mike Miller, Senior Steve Smith and Sophomore Greg Ceca va rounded out the top six. "I think I improved this year," said Iba, "but I wasn't satisfied with my season record." ·

"Our main handicap this year was our doubles matches," stated Rathe. "We had to be ahead at least 4-2 going into doubles in order to win the match." Junior Trevor L~yoomm~~dfu~~oo~~1 understand why they didn't fare well in doubles play. "We'd play the same two that we had defeated earlier in singles and still get beat. I g uess we had to play more together.''

The netters opened the season with a 6-3 loss to Fremont and bounced back to down Lincoln High 6-3 the following week They then managed only two wins in the next eight dual meets. "In the meets against Southeast (2- 7) and Millard (0-9) we were outclassed," said Rathe. "It was like what would happen if Northeast and Nebraska played each other in football."

The reserve team of Sophomores Dave Joe, Matt Norsworthy, Kevin Cottier, Steve Hotovy, Troy Brennan and Steve Helsing and Junior Lyle Grafelman ended the season with a flawless record, and took first place in the Lincoln Public Schools reserve meet.

Full of vim,

vigor and vitality, the girls swim team started the season in a new pool and a 107-62 victory of Columbus.

September 15 marked the first time the girl tankers swam in competition in the new pool. Northeast beat Columbus in every event except the 50 yard freestyle. Jean Neal broke the school record in the 200 yard freestyle. Cheryl Elwood improved her own time in the 500 freestyle by 20 seconds.

The Rockets placed third in the Lincoln Public Schools R,elay Meet. Neal again broke two Northeast records, but the Rockets failed to win an event.

Northeast's next meet was against cross town rival Lincoln High. "We like to be competitive in the city," said Head Coach Dave Strange. "We've beaten Lincoln High three years in a row." The Rockets kept the string alive, downing the Links 93-78.

The Rockets topped Norfolk 9577 to keep a perfect dual meetrecord.

After losing to Grand Island 11357, the girl tankers lost their second meet of the season to Southeast, 107-59. Illness took its toll on the girls, keeping four swimmers from. competition. Neal, who was recovering from an illness herself, won Northeast's only two events, the

"We came

a long way baby," is a slogan that could apply to the youthful Northeast cross country team.

Although unable to win a single contest, they highlighted their season with a trip to the state meet at Kearney.

"We had no seniors running varsity, so it was hard to have leadership," said Coach Bill Rogge. "At the beginning of the year I went a little easier on them, and gradually increased their workouts."

The harriers' top runner was Junior Tom Bowmaster, who placed third in districts and qualified for the state meet. "My goal for the season was to get to the state meet," Bowmaster said.

Northeast Cross Country sported a new look this year with the addition of two female members, Ruth Grimes and Nan Lightner.

"I really felt like a team member,'' commented Junior Nan Lightner, "although some of the guys didn't think we could make it." The girls ended the race in a tie in every meet in order to save each other's feelings. "If Ruth came in before me, I'd feel bad, and ifl came in before Ruth she'd feel bad. It seemed to be a fine system."

The young harriers started the season gaining a fifth place finish in the Nebraska Wesleyan Invitational, and continued to improve their placing in each meet. They placed fourth out of eleven in the Lincoln High Invitational, third out of seven in Trans-Nebraska, fourth out of seven in the 1-80 meet and third out of eight in Districts.

''Disappointing,''

was how senior gymnast Greg Venburg summed up this year's season. "I felt we could have done a lot better. We lost close ones that we should have won."

Losses to Grand Island (121.14129 .58), North Platte (109 .31111.14), Southeast (113.06-129.34) and East (123.53-132.87) caused the Rockets to finish at 3-5, below their goal of 4-4 set at the beginning of the season. "Over half of the teams we beat during the season finished ahead of us at state," remarked

Venburg.

The Rockets swept four of the seven events in their 123.53-99.125 victory over Beatrice. Junior Rob Peters finished first in three events and won all-around honors.

The team qualified for state after placing second behind Grand Island in districts. Good individual performances by Seniors Larry Kohmetscher and Rich Burns and Junior Rob Peters allowed the Rockets to qualify for finals at the state meet at East.

The1976

season was a growing season for the varsity volleyball squad. Even though they ended with only a 3-5 record, they showed excellent team improvement.

According to Head Coach Jody Bell, the Rockets most impressive game was against Lincoln High in Districts. "We beat them one game out of the match, which was pretty good. They were a tough team."

The Rockets downed Southeast in the first round to advance to the game against the Links the following night. The Rockets beat the Links 15-9 in the first game but lost the next two by scores of 15-5 and 15-3.

The Rockets tallied their first victory of the season by downing Plattsmouth in two straight games.

In the first game, Senior Teri Bullock served 13 straight points before losing the serve. Seniors Tammi Neumann and Pam Samuelson scored the other two points for Northeast.

The Rockets second victory of the season came on a 15-4, 15-8 win over Southeast. Seniors Deb Lanning and Bullock each contributed eight points in that win.

The outstanding quality of this year's squad was their desire to win and participate well in each game. "I thought the team improved greatly over the season," commented Neumann.

The Reserve

Volley ball team had an even season of five wins and five losses. This was good considering they were a young team of sophomores, except for three juniors.

The team started out by beating Southeast in two straight games, 15-12, 15-6. This evened up the city record for city opponents. "We were really up for the Southeast game. We beat them mentally and physically," commented one team member.

The Lincoln High game was a little tougher competition for the Rockets. The Rockets knew they had good spikers and hitters. The

reserves only lost by a few points. "We were nervous during the Lincoln High game, but stuck together and did a good job," commented Terri Woods.

East High was also tough. They had good hitters and spikers, and the Rockets lost to East by a few points.

"The girls really gave it all they had when they got a little behind. They seemed to get tougher. Despite the five losses, I am pleased with the showmanship oftheteam. They all knew their skills. This was a good team. They improved greatly over the season," stated Reserve Coach Terri Green.

FALL SPORTS SCOREBOARD ,~, l'-Aif

A year

of upsets and firsts were the features of the 1977 boys basketball season.

A first this year was the "wildcard" system. Two wildcard berths were given to the Class A teams who had not won their respective districts, but who had the best percentage record. After losing to East High 41-39 in districts, Northeast's hopes oflanding at least one wildcard were dashed when both Papillion and North were upset by Omaha Benson and Central. As a result, wildcards were awarded to Papillion and North.

The Rockets seemed sure to uphold their third place preseason rating when they opened with impressive wins over McCook (65-44) and Kearney (75-51). The McCook triumph marked the 500th victory in Rocket basketball history. After a nine point setback to Papillion (47-38), the Rockets upped their record to 3-1 with a 58-45 win over East in the first game of the I-80 Holiday Tournament. Hitting a hot 11-16 from the field in the third quarter, Northeast came from a 2624 halftime deficit to a 46-34 lead late in the third quarter. Northeast, however, failed to defend the I -80 championship. Southeast capitalized on a 10-minute scoring drought to win going away 42-32. Late in the third quarter the Rockets still seemed to hold control of the game leading by as many as nine points, but were unable to score until Mike Sales sank a free

throw late in the fourth quarter when the outcome was already decided.

Coach Ed Johnson's cagers played perhaps their finest game of the year with an 82-61 trouncing of Benson, hitting a torrid 60% on 30 of 49 attempts. Cashing in on seven of their first eight field goal tries, the roundballers jumped out to a 14-2 lead. Gary Karthauser, who led Northeast scoring with a career high 28 points, connected on 12 of 15 attempts from the field, going 5-5 in the second quarter. Three other Rockets also scored in double :figures. Mike Sales, Joe Prai and Doug Berka contributed 11, 12 and 14 points respectively.

Making 12-13 fourth quarter free throws, Northeast pulled away from a narrow 51-48 lead to notch their sixth victory with a 61-57 win over Lincoln High. Going into a

delay tactic with over four minutes remaining, seniors Berka and Sales cashed in on 10 of those crucial fourth quarter tallies. Berka's 22 points and Karthauser's 18 helped offset a 27 point output from Lincoln High's Jerry Heckman.

East-Northeast matchups are always known for going down to the wire. This year's regular season game was no different as senior guard Joe Prai put in a bank shot at the buzzer to give the Rockets a 51-49 thriller.

The city championship and a share of both the 1-80 and Trans Nebraska titles were on the line in the cagers regular season game with Southeast. The Rockets, however, had to settle for backseat after being nipped 50-49. In front by as much as 10 points late in the third

quarter, Southeast rallied to within one with three minutes remaining and took the lead for good on a 10foot jumper by Stan Haas.

Never before was the district race more balanced than it was this year "Most of the city was pretty equal ," stated Johnson. "Any team could beat any other team."

The four city schools finished first round district action with an even 2-2 record . Perhaps the biggest surprise was the Spartans' 41-39 upset win over the Rockets in the semifinals. The Rockets went into a delay with four minutes remaining, nursing a two point lead. Northeast managed to wind the clock down to 39 seconds after East tied the game at 39 on two free throws. Then, a cross-court pass from Berka was broken up. Two fouls and two free throws later, the Rockets were halted from making a possible 23rd appearance in the state tournament.

Doug Berka and Gary Karthauser were named to the Journal-Star · All-City team for the second year in a row. Mike Sales earned second team honors. Berka made the sec-

ond team on the Super State team while Karthauser placed on the third team. Both were named to the second team Class A All-State team.

reserve basketball team started off the season with four losses, shoot• ing 28% from the field and 4 7% from the free throw line. With hard work and good effort, they increased their percentage to 42% from the field and 58% from the free throw line. They also improved on defensive rebounding.

IThis effort helped them win 10 of their final 11 games. Those wins were against Benson (61-37), Lincoln High (56-48), Millard (64-36), Norfolk (66-49), a loss to East (4446), Omaha Bryan (51-38), Grand Island (69-56), Beatrice (63-45), Fremont (55-43), Southeast (66-54) and Ralston (58-37).

"Many of the individuals made -

big improvements over the season which contributed to the winning," stated reserve coach Leroy Seng. "Overall, I thought the team improved greatly. They worked hard

and had a good effort."

Seng also added that the reserves improved the most in the areas of rebounding and offensive shooting.

had a dream to play basketball at Northeast," stated sophomore standout Richard Sheridan. Sheridan's dream came true as he led the sophs to an impressive 9-2 season record and a tie with Southeast for the city title.

The only two losses of the year came to Southeast (44-37) and Beatrice (36-35).

The sophomores opened the season with a 48-30 victory over Lincoln High. Sheridan scored a season high 34 points in this outing. The Rockets then downed East 47-27.

After a disappointing loss to Southeast, the sophs bounced back with two impressive wins over East High (51-41) and Fremont (55-40).

After winning a 48-46 squeaker at Millard, the Rockets prepared for a re-match against Southeast. A 4328 victory assured the sophs of a piece of the city title with the Knights.

Five-foot-five inch Troy Brennan received praise from Coach Tom Novak as a good basketball player and a hard worker, calling Brennan an "illustration" of the whole team.

The Rockets ended the season with an impressive 55-33 win over Ralston.

After losing

the first three games of the season the Northeast girls reserve basket~ ball team scored impressive wins over cross-town rivals Lincoln High and East to close out the season with a 7- 7 record.

The Rockets 46-27 victory over the Spartans marked the first time Northeast has beaten East since girls basketball began in the Lincoln schools. "We wanted the East game really bad," said sophomore Sandy Norwood. "I'm sure they wanted it bad too, but it came down to which team wanted it most."

"My goal for the season was to teach the girls the basic fundamentals of basketball," said first year coach Jim Campbell, "such as shooting, dribbling and playing defense. Our second goal was to help establish some confidence."

The Rockets opened the season by losing games to York 30-14 Fremont 53-32 and Millard 36-12: The girls then defeated Hastings 37-21.

After losing the next two games to Southeast and Grand Island the reserves acquired sophomore K~isti Nelson and juniors Barb Jones and

"At the first of the season, everyone played as an individual " commented Norwood, "but then ...;,e had a big talk and we decided we were going to win. We played the best we could in every game."

"Coaching girls is the same as boys, except you get kind of paranoid in the locker room," said Campbell. "You always have to look over your shoulder when you go in."

The girls were 2-3 in city play.

The girls

varsity basketball team had a good season with 12 wins and 6 losses. The 12 wins were over Fremont (5831), Millard (41-27), Hastings (5828), Southeast (31-26), Grand Island (43-40), Beatrice (33-19), Columbus (38-26), Ralston (54-25) , Papillion (42-29) and Omahe Burke (36-28).

"The basic fundamentals on defense were real fine. You have to always have a defense to fall back on if you're off on offense. The girls controlled the defense pretty good, " stated Coach Hank Willemsen.

According to Willemsen, one of the few disappointments this season was getting beat by one point to Lincoln High in the districts after beating them during the regular season . "That was a big letdown, but I thought the team was pretty successful. They beat some tough teams."

Overall, Willemsen said the team was one of the finest groups to work

with. "They felt they could win every game and never gave up when they got behind. I was pleased with their performance," concluded Willemsen.

Columbus, East, Southeast, Millard and Ralston handed the Rockets their five losses. Northeast placed fifth at both Trans. Nebraska and I-80 and finished 18th at state

Head Coach Robb Wennstedt commented, "Overall I thought the team performed well. They worked hard all season and showed a lot of potential, and I liked that."

The team broke records in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1 :46.4. Mark Bevens, Ian Nolan, Dave Swanson and Bill Howard made up that relay team. Senior Bill Howard also had a record time of 1:02.5 in the 100 yard backstroke, and 56.6 in the 100 yard butterfly. Mike Lee also had record time of 5:25.0 in the 500 yard free style. Mark Bevens, Bill Howard, Dan Nolan and Jeff Bryant also had a record time of 3:34.5 in the 400 yard free relay.

At state, the 400 yard and 200 yard medley relay teams finished

8th and 11th respectively. Bill Howard placed 8th in the 100 yard butterfly, while one meter diver Brad Foster, placed 12th.

Senior Co-captain Bill Howard added, "I thought the team had a lot of potential and worked hard. We won five duals out of ten and placed 13th at state, which isn't too bad."

State Champion Dick Longoria. A hard

and disappointing year was how Head Wrestling Coach John McIntyre summed up this wrestling season.

Inexperience and some individual disappointments hurt the Rockets the entire year. A 1-8 dual record was the outcome of a year which saw only two seniors return from last year's squad. The grapplers had a total of four returning letterwinners.

Rob Farleigh's reappearing knee injury and Rod Peterson's early season ineligibility' also cost the Rockets valuable points.

The grapplers opened their sea-

son with a 14th place finish in the Omaha North Invitational. The high note of the meet was Dick Longoria's championship in the 112pound weight class. According to McIntyre, the teams in the meet were among the toughest in the state.

The Rockets managed only one win in the next eight dual meets before competing iR the 1-80 and Trans-Nebraska meets, where they finished fourth and fifth respectively.

The Rockets qualified only five team members for the state tournament, and finished seventh in the District meet with an overall score of 94.8 points. Only 13 points separated third place Lincoln High and the Rockets.

Longoria entered the state meet undefeated with a 21-0 record. Other wrestlers who qualified for state were Rod Peterson at 145 ,pounds, Greg Teichmeier at 105 'pounds, Russell Strauch at 185 pounds and Brad Hatt at 138 pounds.

Longoria was the only Rocket to bring home a medal after Peterson, Teichmeier, Strauch and Hatt had been eliminated in the earlier rounds of the tournament. Longoria won the 112-pound division finals with a 9-3 decision over Al Haivala of Grand Island.

"It was relieving to know I had accomplished what I wanted to do" -

Only a

hop, skip and a jump separated the girls gymnastics team from an undefeated season record. Losses to Southeast and Lincoln High were the only blemtshes on an otherwise successful 5-2: season.

Carrying a squad of only nine members, the Rockets placed second at districts, third at state, and qualified three gymnasts for the individual finals. Senior Patty DeFreece finished 5th in floor exercise and 8th in all-around competition, while senior Denise Wheatley placed 4th on the uneven parallel bars. "The teams in Lincoln are getting a

lot closer," commented Head Coach Joy Callahan about this year's competition,"

Callahan labeled DeFreece and junior Karen Madsen as this year's team leaders. "They're the best allaround I've had." Callahan named sophomore Beatrice Hernandez as having improved · the µiost this season.

Two members were also named to the Journal-Star All-City gymnastics team. Wheatley garnered honors on the uneven parallel bars, with DeFreece getting the honor in floor exercise.

Heading into

his twelfth year as head coach of the varsity baseball team, Leroy Seng finds the city race pretty equal in talent and the number of returning lettermen. The other three Lincoln high schools return a

bevy of talented prospects that will challenge the Rockets for the city crown.

Northeast returns five lettermen from a team that finished the season last year at 10-6 and brought back the city title.

"Right now we're just experimenting," states Seng. "Right now we need to build an infield." Seng adds that the Rockets need a first, second and third baseman and a catcher. Senior Tom Svehla is the only returning letterman in the infield from last year's team. Hitting is another area that needs improvement according to Seng.

Outfield and pitching should be two stable positions for the Rockets this season. Jay Marshall, Mick Coatman, Trevor Lavy and Tom Reinhart will share mound duties this year. Doug Berka, Joe Prai, Dan Hertzel, Gary Karthauser and Don Poor will be competing for the three outfield positions.

The five returners are: Doug Berka (left field), Joe Prai (center fie_ld), Tom Svehla (short- stop), Mike Coatman (pitcher), Jay Marshall (pitcher).

"We should have a good season," concluded Seng.

"An unknown quantity."

That's how second year Northeast reserve baseball coach Tom Novak termed his squad. "The varsity always has some returning players each year, but on reserves you start with an almost totally different group and I really don't know how good we will be this season," Novak said. ·

"We've worked on our batting and fielding during practice, but before that first game it's tough to know how well you'll play. Scott Gaines pitched against the varsity during practice and looked pretty good, but I don't think pitching will be our strong point. I really don't know what will be. Our outfield could end up being pretty good, but overall we're weak in the infield and also at catcher."

Novak will mold his reserve team from the nucleus of a sophomore team that batted .361 and went 8-1 last year. The reserves finished the

'76 season far below the sophomores standards in both categories, batting just .220 and struggling to balance the won-loss ledger.

Novak cited batting as the key to the reserves success in '77.

"Batting is always a key, but especially this year. We don't have the pitching we did a year ago, so we're going to have to score more runs if we expect to win games.

· "All the players hit well on sophomores last year, but thfa is a different season and I guess we'll just have to wait to find out how well they do on reserves," Novak said.

Novak made no preseason predictions, but noted that the 1-80 schools are always tough to handle and that Southeast, the defending reserves city champion would probably get the nod as the city favorite.

in spring baseball is organization and preparation," states sophomore baseball coach Mike Menck.

Going for their third straight city title, the sophs will rely on three imports from outstate (David Scott, Brett Johnson, and Jeff Machado), and experienced players like Ron Price, Troy Brennan and Steve Helsink.

"We feel after two good seasons we should be able to carry on the tradition of city titlist," stated Menck. "Our team has the overall ability, balance and individual experience to be as good as my other sophomore championship teams."

to be more balanced this year than last year. We've got some good people coming in and I pook for us to have good depth," comments Clayton Luther as he heads into his third year as head coach of the boys track squad.

Bellevue, a traditional powerhouse in high school trac~, is the school Coach Luther thinks is the team to beat, "because of their good track program." East, who boasts the most returners, should be the team to watch out for in city competition.

Weight training is ah important p~rt of every track season. The conditioning program is ~et in two different phases. From the start of practice until late April, squad members build muscle strength by doing two repetitious exercises or "reps." The second phase; from late April. until May, is designed to gain speed. Each track member is requir~d to lift 70% of his maximum weight. They do this exercise as fast as they can for 20 seconds. They then move on to the next station where they do a different exercise.

Returning 12 letterme~, Luther feels that sprints, the jumps and the two mile will be strong areas. Returners include: Craig Bence (triple jump, long jump), Tom Bowmaster (mile, two mile), Jerry Dittenber (100, 220, 880 relay), David Girmus (880, two mile relay), Ron Huqer (100, 220, 880 relay), Tim Kotschwar (mile, two mile relay) , Duane Mundt (high jump), Rod Iihodes (high hurdles, low hurdles), Mike Sales (100, 220, 880 relay), Lonnie Westling (880, two mile relay), Jeff Bryant (mile) , Terry Fischer (two mile relay).

With only

three letterwinners returning from last year's squad, one would think the girls varsity tennis team would be heading into a rebuilding year. But with some promising prospects turning out for practice, the Rockets should be a con tender in the city.

Marsha Rupert, a junior at the University of Nebraska, is coaching tennis for the first time this year and said 43 girls reported for practice in early March. Those 43 were cut to 22. Those 22 will make up this year's varsity and reserve teams.

"When I chose the squad, I looked for consistency in forehand, back hand and serving techniques ," commented Rupert.

The three returning letterwinners are Debbie Jackson, Pam Samuelson and Bonnie Wuster. Beth Rhodes, Cindy Barry, Geralyn Piersol, Rhonda Witt, Amy Foster and Brenda Zessin should be contenders for varsity positions.

If the first

golf meet of the year was any indication of things to come for the Rockets, it could be a long season for 16 year coach Jack Mueller and his squad.

The Rockets finished next to last in the Beatrice Invitational held March 25. The lowest score was an 88, carded by Doug McMahan.

However, Mueller expected the season to be a rebuilding year. "We're going to have to depend an awful lot on relatively inexperienced people, Mueller comments. "We're just going to have to wait and see how we come along during the season."

Northeast returns three lettermen including McMahan, Matt _ Svoboda, and Bob Carlson. Mueller will be looking to McMahan and Carlson to lead the team and says the two can "play with anybody in the city."

The Rockets will be in a tough city race as usual, with Southeast and East expected to challenge for the state title. Mueller is looking for solid and steady improvement from his team, but realizes the

Knights and Spartans might be in a different league from his Rockets. Lincoln High will also field a somewhat inexperienced team, but pre-season information puts the Rockets at the bottom of the city race.

Mild spring weather helped the golfers get outside more this season than last year, and the extra practice time was a big boost to the young team.

"My goal

is to encourage the girls to set their own goals, " stated sixth year girls track coach Nancy Bishop "It ' s hard because there are so many sophomores. They don't know what is expected and what has to be done. "

Unlike recent years, practices started with the prom i se of little rain and unseasonably warm weather. All the girl s were required to go through a weight training program. One type is called repetitious or "reps ." An example is where they use one type of exercise, like leg presses, and do as many as they can in a given amount of time.

"The girls also do lots ofrunning," added Bishop.

Bishop thinks the strong areas will be the hurdles (Teri Bullock and Kelly Els), shotput (Terri Woods ), and middle distance (Ruth Grimes and Nan Lightner).

The Rockets boast eight returning letterwinners : Deb Brubacher (low hurdles, 220, 440 and 880 relay), Teri Bullock (low hurdles, 440 and 880 relay), Tammi Neumann (220, 880 relay), Sarah Gauger (440, mile relay) , Ruth Grimes (880), Nan Lightner (440, mile relay, mile), Penny Liddick (low hurdles, 100, 220, 440 relay), and Terri Woods (shotput).

The Doctors,

"We try to keep a very leis u rely atmosphere," stated intramural football director Mike Menck , "but we also accent competition and stress fun "

Brian Bomberger's senior team the Bomarks, won the Northeast football title for the second year in a row, but were defeated by Southeast 14-12 for the city title. "Our biggest problem in playing other city schools i s that every school has

its own set of rules," commented Menck. "In the future I would like to see set rules for all schools."

The New Riders of the Purple Sage gave Northeast its third straight city basketball title. The Sage was paced by seniors Tom Svehla , Brett Iba, Rod Rhodes and Doug McMahan. The Sage defeated a fellow Rocket team, The Baby _ Bruins , for the city title.

The Doctors, The Over the Hill Gang and Mao-Tse-Tung Executioners were other outstanding basketball teams.

The popularity of bowling was evident as 64 students turned out for six weeks of competition. The bowlers were divided into 16 teams and two leagues, the American and the National. The top two teams of each league met in a roll-off to decide the champion.

An avid intramural participant summed up the program by saying, "The best thing about intramurals is that it gives people who don't have the time or talent for organized varsity sports a chance to compete and have fun."
