A mixture of good and bad visions added flavor and variety to the year. It took all kinds of visions, even bad ones, to make the year successful.
Entering a new decade, we encountered the same old problems as well as some new ones. The unstable economy became even shakier. Inflation reached record heights while the value of the American dollar decreased.
However, these rather discouraging factors didn't greatly affect students here in Lincoln. Even though gas was nearly a dollar a gallon, the traffic on O Street was still heavy on the weekends. However, students did find other ways to save energy and money. Self-service stations that offered cheaper prices became popular.
Pershing Auditorium and Seacrest Field were familiar places for students also. There, students witnessed an exciting football victory over Lincoln High as well as a disappointing loss to East High.
McDonald's (Mac's) was the place to be on Friday or Saturday nights. Northeast students could be found there along with · students from other high schools in Lincoln.
Of course there were some problems that Northeast will probably never solve It seemed that the whole school tried to cram into the cafeteria on pizza day or krautburger day. It took practically the whole lunch period to get through the lines let alone eat. There was also the unbearable heat during September that made schoo l seem like a torture chamber .
Despite these problems , students somehow managed to make it through the year.

Although classes occupied a major part of the day, there was still time to relax and actually enjoy school. Students could be found in the library studying or reading. The benches and steps in front of the school were popular spots for socializing.
School related events also made up another part of student life. The stag dances such as the Kick-Off dance sponsored by the cheerleaders. Stuco presented the movie "Physco" shown at Halloween. All-school plays and musicals were not only entertaining for students but also for the community.
A police escorted car rally ended the football season.

Straight leg jeans were the common, everyday- attire for most studen t s replac ing bell-bottom , hip-huggers that had dominated the 1970's Jeans were comfortable and versatile. Students wore everything from flannel shirts to tweed blazers with them. T-sh irts printed with various celebrities, rock groups, or schools were another way to top a pair of jean s.
Sweaters, in a variety o f styles , could also be worn with almos t a n yth ing . V-necked velour sweaters with coordinating shirts were popular among girls while guys opted for patterned ski sweaters.
Skirts went back to the t r ends in the 1940's . The style was straight and narrow cut with daring slits although looser fitting, gathered , plaid, wool skirts teamed with boots were also a common outfit.

with coordinating shirts were a favorite among girls as sophomore Jeanne Mahoney proves.
3. T-shirts printed with The Rolling Stones and Rush allowed Jani Schindler and Joy McEntarffer to express their musical tastes.

A vision of red. A packed Nebraska football stadium was almost solid red on football Saturdays. The games were a source of entertainment for students and also profitable for those who sold concessions.
The Centrum, a shopping complex, was a new vision in the downtown center.
The capitol has always been a proud, majestic vision of Lincoln. It remains the tallest and the most intricately designed building.
Participants of the bedrace in the second annual Lincolnfest, raced through the streets in hopes of winning the grand prize, a waterbed.
The Nebraska State Fair sponsored its first balloon race. Colorful hot air balloons decorated the sky.
1. Hot air balloons provided a vision of color.

He was known to his friends as just Doug. On the senior class roster he was known as number one out of 518. And every day during second period he was known as the Northeastern staff editor. Who was this student of many names and titles? Senior Doug Thomas.
Although the Northeastern staff met second period every day, Doug Thomas could be found writing, proofreading, and se ll ing advertisements from 8:00 a.m to 6:00 p. m. His position of editor had taken priority over many of his other activities
"The staff is small this year, so extra time and attention is needed for a good issue," remarked Thomas. In addition to dropping a class, Doug dropped out of the working world during this past summer so he could devote enough time to his staff and still have time for social life. Due to less income, Doug was working towards a journalism scholarship to Northwestern University in Illinois. He was ranked number one, scholastically, in the senior class
Striving hard for his good grades, Doug spent five to seven hours a week on homework , other than newspaper work. "There are enough excellent instructors at North-
east to get an enjoyable yet profitable education," Doug said . Thomas was a member of an advisory committee which acted as a sounding board to Superintendent John Prasch on school related issues and was an influencing part on many LPS decisions. The open campus policy, first developed by students on the board, was one example. Doug's major responsibility was to take problems and requests from students to Prasch and then give as much feedback to the students as possible.
Even though he held many top positions, Doug did not consider himself a leader of peers and found that part very difficult. But, he felt he related quite well to younger children. To accommodate this interest, he worked as a playground assistant supervisor at Brownell Elementary School every Monday and Wednesday from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Doug's college choice was Northwestern and a fiveyear program in journalism. While planning heavily on entering college in the fall, waiting a year and working at a good job might be a possibility. After college, Doug would like to join the armed services. Seniors/ 19

Being a senior in the class of 1980 meant spe nding some money for many odds and ends Items most generally bought by sen iors were class rings , senior portraits , graduation announcements a nd the rental of a cap and gown for that e ver specia i process ional march.
Zale 's and Sartor Hamann were the top ring outlets, havng the greatest variety and price range. P ri ces varied from $59 to $140, depend ing on the number of options and choice of metal.
A great number of photographers were popular with seniors, but favorites were those wi t h outdoor sett ings Prices varied a c cording to number and size of prints. An average portra it package consis ti ng of l-8x11, 4-5x7's or 8-4x5 's, and 24 wallet s ize cos t $63.50.

A cemetery, a garbage collection route, and a used car lot were just a few of the settings revealed by Northeast students when asked about the strangest place they'd vis ited on a date in a Rocket Staff dating poll.
On September 26 a survey of six questions on dating habits was given to Eng lish classes and Modern Problems classes taught by Mr. Hank Willemsen, Mrs. Joyce Palomar , Mr. Daniel Murphy, Mrs. Jean Peterson and Mrs. Jan Strange A tot a l of 290 students responded and the results follow:
At what age do your paren t s permit you to date?
13-14 15- 16 17- 18 No Age No Answer Sophomore
At what hour are you expected home from a date? 10-11 11 -12 12-1 1-2 No Depends
on date
When you date do you usually s ingle or double date? Double Single Both No Answer
Sop homore 19 % 62 % 16% 3 %
Junior 20 % 65 % 9% 6%
Senior 12 % 72 % 12 % 4%
Another quest ion asked was, "Describe your first kiss in three words or less ." To most people, their first kiss was filled with skyrockets and flickering lights and described by such words as fantastic, enhilarating and sensational, some people were actually put on the spot and described their first kiss by using words as embarrassing, surprising and unexpected. Still others-were not even impressed by their first kiss as they noted words like boring, a complete letdown, and disasterous. Response for this question was 100% from all grade levels.
The last question asked on the survey was, "What was your most embarrassing moment while on a date? ' The answer most received was spilling or dropping food and drink on someone's date. Others included forgetting or not having enough money and having car trouble and having to explain to the girl's parents why you were late.

The summer of 1979 found se nior La urie Miller very busy in learning new t hings . Not only was La urie learn ing the new task of being a Star-Strutter , she was also le arning how to be a teacher of the deaf.
Every Monday through Friday from 7-9 a . m. the LNE Drill Team was busy p(~rfecting their rou tin es , at 9 a.m. sharply Laurie would leave and go to Prescott Elementary School to teacher aid until 12 noon.
"I have always been interested in deaf people , so last spring I talked to my counselor about a summer volunteer job with deaf children at a summer school site."
Mrs. Jane Olson informed Laurie of the opening at Prescott and suggested she gi ve it a try . Right away Laurie started, at the volunteer level, but after a few weeks was offered the same job at a pay rate.
While a t Presco tt, a teacher to student basis was used. In this way Laurie was able to get one to one experi e nce with the children. Her responsibilities depend on learning prob lems of a child. For instance, if a child could not ti~i his / her shoes, Laurie would come in and help Or help someone learn the rules of a game out on the playground.
"Working on a special problem and finally getting a child t o learn the task was a super feeling. It would take a long time and much patience for someone to learn to tie their shoes but once they learned all the hours didn't matter. ,, Another rewarding experience for Laurie was when t he whole class learned how to say her name using sign language

"The rock group Kiss is the world's greatest show nex t to Ringling Brothers' Barnum and Ba ile y Ci r cus," s aid sophomore Brian Weideman. _Weideman, imperso nator of Gene Simmons (fire breathing demon) , and s ophomore Brad Reed, who portrays Ace Frehley's (sp aceman) along with two other Kiss impersonators (sophomores Reed LaPage ,and Tom Harvey) , travel to different places around Lincoln and the southeast Nebraska area dressed like their idols and calling themselves " Kiss II. "
Kiss II could have been seen at the State Fair, parades, roller skating rinks and made the 50 mile trip to Omaha to attend a Kiss concert. The State Fair appearance brought free rides for the group and many fairgoers stopped to snap a picture of the foursome.
The sophomore group led a parade in Eagle and also appeared in other small towns in the area At one of the parades, Weideman performed a fire -breathing act and the crowd asked for an encore, four times.
Holiday Skate Worlds had two " Kiss Days " last summer, featuring Kiss II. Their presence helped attract a full house of more than 400 people , and more had to be turned away at the door because there were no more skates.

Brenda Wikoff was the feature twirler for the 1979-80 school year. The position is quite an accomplishment for any student, but it is even more impressive because Brenda is a sophomore.
She started taking baton twirling lessons when she was nine years old and she has been going through the rigors of practice since. Brenda has now assumed the role of teacher, and instructs young twirlers. "I've been teaching baton lessons for about two years at the beginning and intermediate levels," she said. Her students range in age from five to eight.
Brenda enjoys twirling the baton except for the few times she drops it or the baton comes down and hits her. She has encountered a few injuries with her baton. She recalls when she first learned how to toss the baton into the air and catch it gracefully. But, sometimes the best of plans go awry. Like the time she threw the baton up and it came down on her nose, leaving her with a black eye and a bloody nose.
To avoid these kinds of accidents, Brenda practices a lot. "I usually spend two hours a day practicing. I'm always making up new routines , and it takes one or two weeks to get them right. Then I have to memorize and perfect the routine."

The Extended Learning Program, established by the Lincoln Public Schools, is designed to give special assistance to 199 Northeast students this year with an intelligence potential of 130 or above
To be selected for the program, students were given a special IQ measuring test in the fifth or sixth grade Computers grade the tests, and if a test shows a potentially high IQ, that student might be identified and his progress watched until high school.
When in high school, the student has the option of being in the program or not.
Northeast's co-ordinator of the program was Mrs. Nancy O'Brien. Mrs. O'Brien described the program as, "a way of providing a student with a place that is open to give help and information that may be needed ."
Students did not get credit for being in the program, although some did receive credit for tutoring other students.
Jim Rathe has sponsored boys intramural sports for the past six years. When Rathe was hired, being the intramurals sponsor "kind of came with the job."
Intramural sports provide active competition for students not involved in interscholastic activities
Along with intramurals, Rathe taught Drivers Education and P.E., and was also N club sponsor and coach of both boys and girls tennis
Several sports were played in intramural activities. In the fall , the teams played flag football. Winter provided time for indoor sports like racquetball , basketball, and bowling . Spring weather brought softball and table tennis. Whenever the weather didn't cooperate with the sport, participants moved ins ide and had a ping pong tournament.
Students who were in the intramural program viewed their participat ion as an important part of their high school years.
Besides sponsoring DECA and the girls golf team, Tim Nilsson also manages the concession stands at Northeast athletic events. He began doing this nine years ago when he first came to Northeast. "The former sponsor wanted out and this was a good way for me, being a new teacher, to get involved," explained Nilsson.
Nilsson had some bizzare moments working with concessions but one of his most memorable experiences was at a girls basketball game. He got everything set up at East High, then found out we were playing at Lincoln High instead.
" The concession stand was a good way for different clubs to make money," commented Nilsson. About two-thirds of the money raised went to paying for the food and pop, the rest of the money was for the club. Nilsson revealed, "On a good night a club could make anywhere from $100-$300."
Nilsson didn't run the concession stand alone this year. Of course club members were there to help sell at all of the games, but he had additional help from- fellow faculty member Robert Curtright, who helped sponsor the concessions.
Techniques used in the martial arts are much like those used in enemy warfare. By us ing guns, swords , Karate methods and Kindo (Japanese fencing) the defendant strives for one ma in goal-to kill the enemy. The art of boxing and wrestling may also be added but should not be thought of as "to the death ," but as a combatic sport.
John Miller, teacher at LNE, is an expert in the martial arts and has attained his black belt denoting h im an advanced beginner. This term is given to those persons reaching the level of black belt after completing levels of white, yellow , blue, purple and brown. According to Miller , " you are never really at the top of the ladder but instead you keep advancing past black belt. There are 10 degrees of black belt and by the time you reach the eighth degree you are 70-75 years old. In this way your lifestyle is patterned by you r participation "
"I was very active with sports in high school , (football and sw imming) but when I graduated I needed something to keep me in shape And after taking 10 years of Judo at the YMCA, I picked the martia l arts."
Like everything else, the hobby takes practice for perfect ion, and Miller's is no exception . Every Tuesday and Thursday from 7-10 p.m. and Saturday from 9-11 a.m . he can be found in the formal class sett ing - either
The Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) was a federally-funded program employing youth aged 15-18 years to work on the futher development of our nation ' s natural resources. Besides employing youth, the program staffed supervisors and directors , one of which was Mr. Bob Wohlers , Northeast math intructor.
Mr. Wohlers has had the job of Director of YCC for five years now, and said he just " stumbled into it."
"A friend of mine worked at the Game and Parks Commission and one day asked me if I would like to be director. I said sure, and I'v e been here ever since."
His job of director started in November with the planning of work sites for the follow ing summer , and ended around mid -Augus t to early September with the turning in of all t he paperwork to the government. Throughout the 10 -month per iod, Wohlers had the job of securing federal grants for projects, organiz ing a brochure to send with applicat ions, hiring all camp supervisors, and then drawing the n a m es of the kids who participated. A drawing was used because there are so many applicants and it was hard to choose By the time all the employees were chosen , it was the first of June and time to brief participants on general knowledge and Corps guidelines.
Wohlers summed up h is job by saying it ' s mostly "a publicity thing," but from his gr in, it's apparent he enjoyed every minu t e.
practicing or teaching. He also practices every day on his own at the UNL coliseum In addition to his practices, Miller runs five miles a day, six days a week, and participated in summer events like fun runs and minimarathons
After 27 years of teaching at Northeast, Mr. George · Rush retired following the 1979-80 year. Before Rush came here, he had been direc t or of the Sioux City Art Center and had taught at Mornings ide College in Sioux City, Iowa. He left there because he wanted to teach at a high school level ra t her than a college level.
Looking into the future , Rush doesn't have any direct plans for his retirement , aside from framing what he calls his "Funniest Experiences." Since he has been teaching , he has caught many of his students sneaking around the room with pictures of him they had drawn. Rush, pretending to be outraged when he found these drawings , confiscated them and now has quite a collection. The students may not have meant well by these little caricatures, but Rush took them as a compliment.
Even though Rush has won prizes at art exhibits, he has never serious ly considered going professional. He got his Bachelor of Arts degree at Morningside College and received his Master of Arts degree a.t the University of Nebraska He likes to teach all forms of art but what he really enjoyed teaching was different art techniques.
His most satisfying experience was when a number of his record albums were stolen from his art room. Rush was upset about this , but at the end of the semester some of his students brought him a box of albums they had collected for him. "These are the kinds of things," states Rush, "that show teachers they are apprecia t ed."

The success of this year's Student Council could have been measured by its many achievements. The biggest victory was the completion of the Student Council's Constitution. It took the Council three years to design the Constitution and it contains the complete functions and responsibilities of the Student Council.
Providing fair representation of the Northeast student body, a liaison between students and the administration and to promote positive attitudes in the students were the main purposes of the Student Council.
"The Student Council is much more student managed and student centered now," commented club sponsor Dave Strange. "Really, no major problems arose because we had good leadership."
Many activities were sponsored by STUCO . A yearbook signing party was arranged , dances were held for different occasions, balloons were sold at football games and they organized an assembly featuring Freedom Jam , a religious rock band. They also raised funds to sponsor a scholarship.
Officers included president-Brett Laursen; vice president-Margret Kreifels; treasurer-Luke Lionberger and Secretary-Cindy Hemple.

Marysville, Missouri; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Sioux City, Iowa; Saint Joseph, Missouri, and a host of in-state cities were the competition sites for this years 18 member debate team.
The topic used for debating sessions was, "Resolve: that the United States should significantly change its foreign policies." It was a good topic for this year with the Iranian crisis and the grain embargo top issues.
A major problem again this year was lack of school support for debaters "We are still treated as a minor sport," stated three-year debate member Kathy Hedges, "but we are actually a major sport like football or basketball."
T earn members feel their efforts are worthwhile despite the lack of interest. Debate takes many hours of research and organization, and therefore makes for good college habits in the homework area.
Anyone interested in Law School or Politics, or just debating for fun can join debate as there are no requirements and credit can be earned. Team debating, extemporaneous, oratorical and impromptu speaking, duet and humorous acting, and interpretive public address were areas covered in debate.

"The National Forensic League's (NFL) primary purpose is to provide a social atmosphere for debate competi- _ tors," stated sponsor Jack Mueller.
NFL is a national club and anyone in debate or another contest speaking area is eligible to join. This year's group consisted of 28 members, 18 of which were involved in debate.
Senior Kathy -Hedges, secretarytreasurer of NFL, felt the club was well worth her time. "It's an incentive to work harder in debate due to the awards we can receive," Hedges said. Those awards are levels of excellency obtained in winning a debate or speaking contest.
Officers for first semester were Jim Carlberg, president; James Geschwender, vice president; Kathy Hedges, secretary-treasurer and Randy Fox, harbor master
Favorite activities for NFL members included their annual winter and spring parties and selling concessions at athletic events.

Many changes were made in the 1980 ROCKET. ROCKET advisor Daryl Blue attributed some of these changes to new ideas from a yearbook seminar that ROCKET editor Holli Blake attended last summer.
One of the major changes was the alteration of copy in the student, faculty and sports sections. This year, feature stories were used throughout the book instead of the old rows of copy that headed each section in previous years
Another change in the ROCKET was the price. Last year it sold for $9, but this year the cost of the ROCKET was raised to $10. Reasons for the price hike
were inflation and the higher production cost.
The yearbook staff had its share of problems. The change in the format of · the ROCKET created a new situation for almost everyone , making it difficult for the staff to meet deadlines. Lay-out staff was faced with drawing up different lay-outs from previous years, and photographers needed to take more pictures than ever before.
Another problem the yearbook staff encountered was getting the 1979 supplement done. Lots of copy and many photos were lost causing a delay in delivery.

A big issue not published in the Northeastern was the lack of financial support the staff had to work with. "We had only one person on ad staff, and we could not always find transportation. Our cost to print the paper also went up, adding to the expense," explained editor Doug Thomas.
The increased printing cost was due to a change in printers at the beginning of the year. The Sun Newspaper was put in charge of the Northeastern's printing. This change increased the importance of ad staff so all staff members pitched in to help.
The total staff of nine students was small compared to previous years, and most were inexperienced in newspaper
writing. Journalism is recommended but not required. The only prerequisite is having a desire to write.
Despite the expense and the lack of writing experience, sports editor Roger Mundt said the class was very worthwhile. "By having a school paper we keep in touch with students and teachers, sports news and general community news. It also gives people a chance to write and a place to express themselves," Mundt said.
To supplement their writing ability, staff members attended various workshops and seminars during the year. Mr. Daryl Blue, the class advisor, was assisted this year by UNL student teacher Kelly Outson.

French Club participated in many fund raising activities this year in working toward their goal of going to St. Louis this summer. They had bake sales where they sold French pastries, stationary was solicited and they sold French candy, along with selling concessions at games. In addition to this, funds were raised by pledges at a French monopoly game in the spring and a car wash was planned St. Louis was chosen as their goal mainly because of its enormous amount of French culture in its heritage
Not all of the French Clubs activities were used to earn money French style picnics were held in the fall and spring. Also, a Halloween party was held where members dressed up as famous French
people, and a Christmas party, including carolling, was arranged. According to Ms. Laurie Evans, club sponsor , the purpose was to, "have fun with things relating to the French culture that you normally wouldn ' t do."
There were about ten active members of French club First semester officers were: President Jann Shields, Vice-President Beth Blecha, Secretary Teresa Yaunk and Treasurer Tina Bennett. Second semester officers were: President Mark Janda, Vice-President Pat Claussen, Secretary Bonnie Hanson and Treasurer Kim Dunlap This years membership differed from any in the past because French club was opened to ninth grade students at Robin Mickle Jr. High taking French

Northeast 's Spanish Club participated in many money raising projects during the 1979 -80 school year. Members sold light bulbs and candy . They had bake sales in the main hallway and a car wash at Safeway, plus they sold many carnations on Valentines Day.
During May , the club planned to go to Brownville and Nebraska City . The group planned to ride horses in Nebraska City and then go on to Brownville to ride on a showboat called The Belle of Brownville . The club involved anyone who was in a Spanish class.
Members also had a few pa rties for anyone in the club who wanted to come One was a Christmas Par t y at which a pinata was broken. A paella feed (a Spanish shellfish dish) was also scheduled.
In c reased enrollment in the club c aused more of a problem of scheduling students for meetings and other act ivit ies "Usually it ' s pretty good to have more members, " commented sponsor Mrs Benevent-Dewey. "However, sometimes it's difficult to meet everyone 's needs or wishes. "

The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) was quite busy this year with many projects. One of the highlights was FBLA week that was held the second week in February with the theme being, "Get in touch with business." Club members sold yellow ribbons as a sign of support and patronage for the American hostages in Iran and they also visited different businesses and took a field trip to Gateway Bank.
Since this was only the club's second year at Northeast the only real problem was getting the word out that the club existed. FBLA was open to anyone enrolled in a business course. Club sponsor Sandi Peters wanted to get more underclassmen and more boys involved in the club "It gives them lots of opportunities to find out about different businesses in the community, " stated Mrs. Peters.
Money earned by fund raising activities and donations from businesses helped pay for 15 students to go to the State Leadership Conference held in Omaha for three days in April.

For the past 12 years foreign students have attended LNE and this year was no excep t ion. Stephen Behra from Germany and Oliver Volt from F ranee were both part of the American Field Service (AFS) program . They came to America for one year and stayed with host families.
·
A special assembly was held to recognize the two students on March 14, 1980. The pair informed students about their country and pointed out the contrasts between it and America. A major difference was the drinking age. In fact, Volt commented that in F ranee a drinking age didn ' t exist while Behra stated that beer could be served to 16 year olds.
Behra explained that there was much more of an emphasis on education instead of extra-curricular activities No elective courses were offered. Volt presented slides of many famous spots in F ranee such as the Eiffel Tower. Behra also displayed scenes of Germany. Both compared the prices here and in their countries. For example, a bottle of Coca-Cola is $3 00 in France and a pair of blue jeans cost $35 00 in Germany.
Both stated that they enjoyed America and had learned a lot.
Penguin Club had their annual show on a different theme this year compared to last year's "Christmas through a Porthole " The Penguins performed "Story Time with the Penguins." The show was a melting pot of sixteen different children's stories. Their performances retold classics such as Humpty Dumpty, Goldilocks, the Three Bears, and even the Three Little Pigs.
There were only eighteen Penguins, compared to what used to be forty in past years. Ten of the Penguins were in the club for the first time. Five others
had been in the club for two years, and the remaining three were in for their third year.
Most of the two- and three-year members thought of and choreographed the routines for the show. The girls prepared for 12 weeks for the show. Preparations included lots of practices during seventh period and after school besides designing the costumes.
Penguin Club officers were President-Kim Vergith, Vice-President-Angie Smith, Secretary-Liz Justus, and Treasurer-Joy McEntarffer.

puts everything into his lips.
All around support from coaches, parents, faculty and of course the student body made the 79-80 edition of marching band a real success story.
That success started during summer band camp (two weeks prior to school's opening) with a turn-out of 120 performers "We had 50 new members to train, but they all picked up the basics fast and we just progressed from there," commented second year band director Jeff Klintberg.
Popularity of the band was so great, it became hard to meet the demand. As in the past, the marching band was a familiar face to football and basketball fans, but became a steady supporter of girls sports as well. "It got to the point where if the band did not show up, people got upset," added Klintberg.
Each band member contributed support throughout the year as well. As Klintberg put it, "I can only accept

credit for organizing, the kids do the rest." Being a performance group took many disciplined rehearsals; plus guidance from many individuals. Squad leaders, student teachers and two great drum majors, Tammy Olson and Mike Birch, made the group click.
The major problem, according to Klintberg, was the pain of expansion. A group of this size required a large area and the fourth floor band room was not adequate. As with any group, growing pains are expected, then taken care of as they arise. At this printing, hopes are to move the band room to the old swimming pool area.
Some highlights for this year's Rocket Marching Band were receiving a superior rating in the Wisner-Pilger Marching contest, a superior rating in the State Marching contest and traveling to Kansas City, Missouri for the Worlds of Fun Band Festival in April.

"I hope my students will learn club leadership and learn to assume authority in DECA," stated Mr. Tim Nilsson, sponsor of the DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) club.
•
During the 1979-80 school year, there were 40 members in DECA. The activities committee included Laura Machado, Jan Eden, Sue Lutz, Bob Plantz, and Melanie Dial.
The club's activities are designed to teach the students business principles and leadership qualities in order to be successful in business. Some of the club' s activities involved going to Minneapolis, Minnesota for 3 days to attend meetings on how to be successful in business. Two representatives from Northeast, Sandra Wenzl and Jan Eden, attended these meetings
Other activities included a Kansas City Chiefs football game, an inter -city bowling league, a professional trip to Kansas City's Crown Center and various businesses , an officers workshop in Kearney , a regional conference in Minnesota, and a state leadership conference judging sales and advertising techniques.
The only requirement for joining the club was enrollment in Marketing 1 & 2 or 3 & 4.

Competing in two cont ests with the Northeast marching band were some of the activities of the 1979-80 Twirlers. One of the contests was held at WisnerPilger and the other at Pershing Auditorium. In both competitions the band and twirlers played against some of the best bands in the state, and both times, they received a grade of a one, which is the best anyone can get. Northeast was also the only band in Lincoln that received such a high grade plus two trophies.
Three of the twirlers went to a clinic sponsored by Mrs. Hawke in Grand Island. At the clinic the three learned new dance and twirl routines.
At first, teacher Joyce Thimgan, made up the routines for the twirlers, but then later during the basketball season they started working out their own street marching routines.
"This year we have tried to diversify our routines to include more dance and moves. As we are a dance-twirl squad, we felt that if we simply twirled we would not live up to our name," commented junior Michelle Hughes.

"Being in Spotlight Inc. gives you a lot of satisfaction when you accomplish something," stated club member Linda Sheppard.
The club is designed for people who have an interest in drama and the theatre. The requirements for being a part of Spotlight Inc. are participation in an all-school play or on a construction crew, creating scenery.
The club changed its name twice last year from Thespians to the Drama Club, then finally settled on Spotlight Inc. for the 1979-80 school year. "We voted to get out of the National Thespians Club because we had to pay dues and we never got anything out of it," said Sheppard.
This year, Spotlight Inc. helped in the opening of the Centrum by doing its production of "The Wizard Of Oz" in the mall. They also held bake sales and other fund raising events in hopes of raising enough money to go to the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The play centered around Countess Aurelia , The Madwoman , played by Junior Kris Surface. Aurelia was not really " mad ," but instead considerably blind to the workings of the world around her She wanted very much to share her imaginary world where corruption , grief and poverty were mere words Only by destroyi n g mankind was she able to do this In act II , such characters as The Prospector (Mike Bauer) , The President (Gregg Mullins) , and The Broker (Bob Carlberg) were all

Although Aurelia found peace in the world , play director Lynne Carrell found it hard to keep peace with the audience and characters backstage. During opening night, the crowd had to be quieted many times so the actors on stage could be heard. Backstage, characters were assigned seats to sit in while not involved on stage. The cast of 28 practiced for eight weeks prior to the actual performances and entertained a packed house both nights with the ir excellent version of , " The Madwoman of Chaillot."
Both Glee Clubs changed their images starting with new names. Women's Glee transformed to "Horizons" and Men's Glee became "E-2 Company." After all, "neither club was actually a glee club in the traditional sense" because they performed a much wider variety of materials, according to instructor Mrs. Mary Oestmann. Besides, the kids didn't really like being called a 'glee' club anyway " The size of each group varied from year to year depending on how many tried out. E-2 Company cons isted of 20 members while "Horizons" had 24. "Twenty was a good size to work with because that way there were four guys for each part," Mrs. Oestmann stated.
Other than the annual rock concert, Chamber Singers focused on more serious music such as classical. Yet all music was fairly modern being written in the twentieth century. This basic format
has been used ever since the group was started 3 years ago. Mrs . Oestmann compared Chamber Singers to "a small choir."
Perhaps the group's biggest project was presenting the third annual rock concert, "Images of Sound" on F ebruary 11. The show required much preparation and hard work. For example, each member was responsible for arranging their music on paper as well as learning to work with the microphones. The program contained a variety of popular, current songs ranging from the soft ballad " Talking' In Your Sleep" sung by junior , Krista l Johnson to the rock tune "Don't Bring Me Down" sung by the whole group Chamber Singers also planned to perform at the rotunda area of the State Capitol in May Mrs Oestmann recommended Chamber Singers for "anyone who likes a challenge."

Triple Trio and Swing Choir were critiqued by judges during a clinic at Peru State College. They received suggestions on how to improve their choreography as well as their singing skills. Trip le Trio and Octet planned to hold a special concert exclusively for parents and relatives in March . A variety of songs including selections from the rock group Bread to Kentucky bluegrass will be performed.
Mrs. Mary Oestmann referred to Swing Choir as a "show group." They concentrated on music such as jazz, the blues, and rock that was fairly "light in nature." Only four previous members returned and, twelve new members were added. "We all go along really well compared to last year" commented senior member Missie Lesoing. Some of
the highlight performances were the Strategic Air Command Officers Party at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha and the traditional State Tea at the Governor's Mansion.
Barbershop harmony, instrumentals, and even some music by the Oak Ridge Boys were performed by Octet. Like Triple Trio, Octet was "blended sound group" according to instructor Duane Nichols. Both Triple Trio and Octet gave performances at elementary and junior high schools, school assemblies, churches, and various club banquets. The group was more concerned about sound rather than elaborate choreography. Nichols praised the group as being able to "work well enough to learn independently. They've done extremely well "

Concert choir participated in the newly developed Lincoln Public Schools Concert Choir Contest held on Feb. 18 at Nebraska Wesleyan. They competed in the sight-reading and performance categories. The contest proved to be a learning experience for all with East High winning the trophy. The choir also appeared in two Christmas concerts but putting on the school musical was their major project.
Preparations for the musical comedy "Plain and Fancy" began two months in advance. Director Duane Nichols eagerly anticipated the production scheduled for April 24-25. "It's really going to be fun. It's not that well known because it's difficult to put on. The biggest problem will be getting everything to fit on the stage," Nichols explained. The action centers around a former New York couple's experiences amidst an Amish town. All members of Concert Choir will participate in the production.
"The group was extremely easy to work with and no problems arose. The kids pretty much know what was expected of them," commented Nichols.
Concert choir was the largest group available at Northeast. Membership varied from 70-80 with no limits as to how many can join.

After the annual Sophomore Tea in August of 1979, attending sophomore girls were officially welcomed into Pep Club Meeting varsity and reserve cheerleaders, star strutters, and twirlers was a part of the tea's activities. All of the girls learned a few cheers and saw each group perform a routine.
Membership this school year was approximately 200 girls. About 80 of these girls went on the Pep Club sponsored migration to Kearney , proving their spirit and support for the football team
Pep Club also sponsored the annual Homecoming Dance. Members divided into food, decorations, royalty, and publicity committees to get everything prepared for the dance.
Along with the Homecoming Dance, Pep Club also sponsored a pizza party, a Christmas party, the Turnabout Dance and of course Spirit Week. A large part of the student body attended and enjoyed each of these events.
"Being in Pep Club has been a big and memorable part of my first year of high school life," commented one sophomore Pep Club member.

4. Pep club members show their spirit at a pep rally.
On February 13, 14 and 15 Pep Club sponsored the annual Spirit Week. "The purpose of Spirit Week was to support the sports in season," commented Nancy Bishop, sponsor of Pep Club.
Each of the three spirit days was given its own theme, all relating back to Valentine 's Day. Wednesday's theme was "We caught them red hatted," and students were asked to wear hats. Everyone was encouraged to wear red in order to back up Thursday's theme of "Our team is red heart," and Valentine hearts were worn on students' sleeves to support, "Wear your heart on your sleeve," which was Friday's theme.
Different sports were given support every day. Friday was set aside for the boys wrestling team, the swim team and the boys basketball team. Girls basketball was honored Thursday and girls gymnastics on Wednesday.
Spirit Week involved many activities. An all school sign-making party was held Wednesday after school in the cafeteria and the girls basketball game led to a Pep Club migration on Thursday.
Finally, Spirit Week ended with a pep rally finale. Pep talks were given by the coaches and awards were given for the best sign, best decorated floor and Spirit Girl. Bishop revealed, "No major changes were made, basically it's just the same from year to year."

Again this year Pep Club sponsored t he dance and along with members of Spotlight Inc. provided the half-time activities.
Instead of a band, Pep Club chose to have the music of Sounds Unlimited, as this was cheaper than a local group and had a greater variety of music types. Sounds Unlimited provides music through the use of L.P.'s.
The football game, the night before the dance, slated the Rockets against the East High Spartans with East winning 42- 7. Having the dance on a different night made it possible for football players to also enjoy the dance and festivities.
A pep rally was held the morning of the game in the North gym to wish all athletic teams good luck and to announce the homecoming royalty that would reign at the final event of the weekend. Nominees for homecoming royalty were selected by the senior class prior to voting by the ent ire student body.
"Being a cheerleader has been a lot of fun. It was a lot of hard work to think of new routines and then work them out" commented Debbie Smedjr. One of the many responsibilities of the 1979-80 cheerleading squad was to keep the school spirit up throughout the entire school year. This included having pep rallies, and making locker and door signs.
Meeting seventh period everyday gave all of the cheerleaders a time and place that they could meet to practice and plan their routines.
During the summer, while most students were away from each other on summer vacations, the cheerleading squad was together at a cheerleaders clinic. They learned new cheers, chants, rallies, pom -pon routines, plus different acrobatic moves and mounts. At the ASCC clinic in Kansas City, Missouri,
the group won five ribbons, and a spirit award for daily performance of routines. They also captured the first place Grand Championship trophy and ribbon, an award based on the final evaluation over all days spent at the clinic.
The squad cheered at the Shrine Bowl football game and marched in the Shrine Bowl parade. Other activities included sponsoring the Kick-off Dance and selling tickets at the Chamber of Commerce's Haunted House, "Chamber of Terror's."
The main thing each girl tried to achieve was to give each sport the same amount of spirit and support, without any favoritism. "We always try to treat all of the teams equally, but it's really hard to do because a lot of people don't like some sports and don't go to the games equally," commented Carla Cover.

"Learning to be patient with people and each other, plus being able to accept all kinds of attitudes and ideas was the hardest, but most rewarding, part of being a reserve cheerleader." This was the feeling expressed by all six reserves.
Besides learning to get along with a large crowd, the elected girls had to first learn to get along with each other. While at a clinic in June they learned that honesty was the best policy. "We all sat down and had an open discussion on what our likes and dislikes were with each other. After that one day we were friends," explained Karen Dewey.
Being a reserve cheerleader meant more than cheering at reserve sports; it
also meant involvement. That involvement included making locker and door signs for team members, attending pregame dinners, showing up at all sports, and assisting varsity cheerleaders by taking over the duties for cross-country and tennis.
Cheering was not all glamour. It was also a lot of work In order to treat all teams fairly, attendance at all sports was mandatory This meant giving up many extra -curricular activities and doing a lot of late night homework But sacrifices come with the title and the reserves accepted them with a smile. Terri Furman and Kelli Lambert closed their year with sweet memories. "Our junior year will never be forgotten, but it went so fast," they said.

Hard work by the girls at clinics during the summer paid off when the Star Strutters received first place in the marching competition and second place in the dance competition at the University of Kansas Clinic. Thirteen individual ribbons were also awarded to some of the girls.
Mrs. Karen Poore, sponsor of the Star Strutters, attributed much of the drill team's success to the speed in which the whole squad learned routines. "This year many new routines were developed by the girls and current popular tunes were used," commented Mrs. Poore.
The Star Strutters were involved in many activities. A select few were car washes during the summer to pay for their pages in the yearbook and to buy flowers for the other drill teams at games. Along with the Fremont drill team, the girls did a performance in Fremont and in August they held a rock-a -thon. For 24 hours they sat in front of the NBC bank and rocked in rocking chairs for pledges
First semester officers included captains Traci Meyer and Jani Schindler, secretary Lori Burianek and treasurer Danni Murray. Second semester officers were the same except for secretary Carol Fehr.

What did Octet, Triple Trio, and Swing Choir have in common? They all depended on student accompanists to provide their music. These select singing groups put on excellent performances at school and around Lincoln. Of course credit must be given to the singers, but often times the devoted efforts of the accompanists were forgotten or taken for granted.
Student accompanists tried out for the group, bought the required uniforms, and attended the class just like the singers. They were expected to learn the music and have it down pat before the group did. In some cases, the accompanist had to pick out the music simply by listening to a record. In preparation for special performances, extra rehearsals after and before school were needed.
Sometimes, repeating a line over and over was necessary until the choreography or the singing was perfect. "That got to be pretty boring," commented Swing Choir bass guitar player Deann Jaworski " But I
didn't mind because when we had troubles with the music , the singers never complained." Kelley Potts, who accompanied Triple Trio on the piano for the past two years, added that, "the girls have a lot of patience with me. Besides, I've improved a lot and I feel more at ease this year. I just have to remember that I'm playing for the group, not myself."
Basically, student accompanists were considered a "part" of the group. "The girls accepted and included me which is really nice, " Potts explained. "I got along with everybody and I never had any personal problems with the group," Jaworski stated.
The advantages of being a student accompanist far outweighed the disadvantages. It offered not only a chance to get involved, but also to get to know people and learn a wide variety of music. Jaworski definitely felt that all the work was worth it. Potts agreed saying, "It does a lot for your personality . I wouldn ' t have traded these last two years for anything!"

Rated #9 by the Journal-Star in pre-season polls, the Rocket varsity gridders ended a rather disappointing campaign with a 5-4 season record. Two very close losses near the start of the season prevented Northeast from obtaining a playoff berth.
The season began at home, ~s the gridders renewed an old rivalry with Omaha South. A saftey by the Packers in the final quarte r proved to be the winning margin.
Fremont, which eventually made t he playoffs, was the rn!xt challenger. The Rockets came home with an even record and a nine po int vic t o r y.
Grand Island , t h e defending state champions, traveled to Lincoln the next week. A two point conversion late in the game gave the Islanders a narrow one po int victory. "Losing this one was tough to swallow ," stated senior Chuck Story. Lincoln High was undefeated mov ing into the ci t y clash be t ween the Lin k s and the Rockets The Links flashed some muscle, bu t it wasn't enouBh as the Rockets pulled out a IO-poi n t win. "We had t o win to keep our pla!;off h opes alive, and they (Lincoln High) want,~d to prove that their unbeaten record wasn' t a fluke, " stated senior Scott Reed.
Nortl·wast traveled to Papi ll ion next t o face the Monarchs on their home c o m ing. After trail ing 7-6 a.t ha lftiirne, the Rockets exploded for 37 points in the second half to
win going away. "We were so fired up for the second half, there wasn't a team in the state that could have stopped us," said · junior Matt Wiegert.
After ruining Kearney's homecoming the next week, Northeast returned home for their own homecoming against arch-rival East. Spirit was high because Northeast had not won a homecoming game for five years. The jinx continued as the Sta t e Champion Spartans used a balanced offensive attack, and a rugged defense to blast the Rockets 42- 7. Head coach Bob Els was home with the flu and missed this contest.
Then it was out of the frying pan and into the fire as the gridders met yet another playoff qualifier, the Southeast Knights. "We had to win this one to keep what playoff hopes we had alive," commented sen ior linebacker Doug Ayars The Knigh t s shattered all hopes for a playoff spot with an easy 29-point win.
The Rockets managed a winning season by topping Hastings in the season's last game
The season wasn't a total disaster as some bright spots emerged. Senior linebacker Doug Ayars became Northeast's all time total tackles leader , and junior Kevin Conradt shattered most kicking records. " They were a good group of kids," stated coach Bob Els. "They gave their best effort and that's all you can ask for."

After jumping out to a quick start , the reserve football team lost its early momentum and finished a disappointing year with a 1-5-1 season mark.
In the season opener, the reserves travelled to Fremont. The Rockets didn't solve anything as they came home with a tie. "Fundamentally, we had a poor game ," stated Story. "I think we had the first game jitters. "
The gridders hit the road again to travel to Hastings, where they notched the only win of the season. Touchdowns by Anthony Perkins, Steve Gable and Lance James paced the Rockets.
In t er-city rivals were next on the schedule, and the city opponents proved to be too much for Northeast to handle. The reserves suffered losses to Lincoln High , Southeast and East.

The reserves headed west again , this time to take on Grand Island, a school that has always had successful reserve teams. The gridders found out just how successful as the Islanders used a balanced offens iv e attack and a rough defense to batter the reserves 34-6.
In the seaso n finale, the reserves made a rare home appearance, as they challenged cross town rival Southeas t for t h e second time this season. Again, lack of team unity and basic fundamentals were stressed as problem areas. Southeast took advantage of a weak Rocket defense and some key turnovers while using a potent offensive attack to bury the Rock~ts 26-0.
"They were a group of kids who had the desire to work and learn," stated assistant coach Steve Carr . "Their record and the amount of points scored against them is deceiving."

Sophomore football head coach Hank Willemsen and his assistant coach Gale Cook, closed out their last season of coaching sophomore football by rallying their team to a 3-2 season record. "We had an exciting and successful final year," stated Willemsen. "Ea.ch game we seemed to improve, we got better and better each game."
The sophomores opened with two close losses to Southeast and Lincoln High . The Rockets then returned home for their final contests against Nebraska City, East and Seward. The Rockets best showing was against Seward. "That was the best game we played all year," stated Willemsen.
Willemsen praised quarterback Mark Diaz, and running back Scott Ferrel. "When those two got together, the offensive line fired up and started blowing open holes and alleys,', commented Willemsen.

For new Northeast girls swimming coach Jon Miller, his first season at the helm of the Rockets was a disappointing one. The Rocket lady tankers tallied a record of 0-7-1.
Although eight swimmers made it to the state meet, the Rockets failed to score. The girls who made the state meet were seniors Renee Isherwood , Lisa Hanson, and Toni Howard. Four juniors also participated in the meet including Janee Bryant , Angie Smith, Kim Spreier and Sherry Seymour. The lone sophomore was Melissa Johnson.
Even though the Rockets had a disappointing year, a bright spot emerged. Junior Sherry Seymour set a new school record in the 100 butterfly. The old record was 1: 12:2 and Seymour swam a 1:07:4. "She was one of my outstanding swimmers this season," commented coach Miller.
The team's best showing was the 82-82 tie with Hastings. Miller was disappointed in the dual with Lincoln High late in the season. "We should have won that meet, but it seemed like the chips fell on their (Lincoln High) side," Miller said.

Inexperience was the major handicap for Northeast's new girls golf team. Golfers with experience included juniors Jan Shields and Lori Blecha and senior Lori Shields. Seniors Gail Raddatz and Julie Salber had no previous golf experience. Although defeated in every meet, the girls showed improvement throughout the season. The team competed in districts, and although a good effort was given, no one qualified for the state meet.
Coach Tim Nilsson was pleased with his team's progress and it s attitude. Most improved golfers were Julie Salber and Gail Raddatz, who progressed from a nine hole score of 75 to a 59 and a 59 to a 49 respectively.
· "In our first year we got off to a good start, considering we'd never done this before. We all kept up with our opponents and everyone put out a lot of team effort," Julie Salber sa id. "The main thing was we all had a lot of fun and really enjoyed being part of Northeast's first girls golf team. Hopefully , more girls wi!l be inv olved in golf next season, " commented Salber.
The boys varsity tennis team ended with a 7-4 dual meet record, the best season the netters have experienced in the past few years.
"We did real well this year in duals," commented Coach Jim Rathe. "We also had our best showing in the Trans-Nebraska meet in the last seven years. " (Northeast placed third out of seven teams.)
"Senior Jerry Hempel was probably the best player on the squad," Rathe noted. "He went all the way to state and made it to the third round before being eliminated."
The netters suffered a disappointing one --po int loss to Pius X " They just pulle d the meet out from under our feet," stated senior Todd Thorn.
State qualifiers included Jerry Hempel (#1 singles) , Pete Eppens (#2 singles), Todd Thorn and Steve Cecava (#1 dou ~ bles), and Adam Amland and John Falck (#2 doubles).

"We've come a long way, " stated an exuberant Coach Sandi Genrich. In her second year of coaching volleyball at Northeast, Genrich and the Rockets climaxed a fantastic season by earning a spot in the state championship game.
High goals were set, and most of them accomplished. For the first time in Northeast ' s history, the volleyball team made it to the state championship game where the girls' own mental errors spelled def eat at the hands of North Platte.
"One of the problems at state was playing Grand Island in the semi-finals," stated Genrich. "The girls had to give a lot just to beat the Islanders." Genrich also stated that the tough semi-final contest may have hurt the team in the finals. "In the champ ionship game, they tried to force everything, they just weren't relaxed enough," commented Genrich
The Rockets worked together as a team the whole season as the varsity won the Lincoln Public Schools Championships, and the District championships. The main menace for the Rockets was Grand Island. The Islanders provided the Rockets with two of their three losses in a 20-3 season. Grand Island forced the Rockets to second place finishes in both the Cornhusker Classic and the Trans-Nebraska mee t .
"We real!~, had a good team, and we always worked together as a whole," stated senior Lauri Thompson. "We didn't have to depend on one person to win the game."
The Rockets also accomplished something that hasn't been done in years. By winning the District title, the Rockets kept East High out of the state meet, the first time in five years East has missed state. The varsity also managed to defeat the arch-rival Spartans three times during the season.

"The reserve program is set up to prepare players for future varsity programs, and I think we succeeded in doing so," commented reserve volleyball coach Lana Peterson. "The highlight of the year was beating Grand Island. They've always been tough ."
The girls started the season off by winning the first two games against Millard and Norfolk. "We played real well at the beginning of the season, then we lost. some disappointing close games, games we should have won," added Peterson. The Rockets placed second in the Lincoln Public Schools t ourney at the close of the season . The Rockets advanced to the finals against undefeated East and looked impressive as they won the first game 15-4. But East proved that they weren't going to roll over and die as they topped the Rockets 15-2 in game #2. In the final and deciding game Northeast lost a close one to East 15-10.
"I love coaching here, the faculty, the student body, and especially the girls who have played for me have helped me through thick and thin," commented Peterson. "I've never been to a school that supports all kinds of athletics as Northeast does."

Although the boys gymnastics team competed well, several obstacles had to be overcome. Kurt Nielsen, a former Rocket gymnast , was the new coach and the team had to learn the ways of a new mentor.
"The team was comprised mostly of sophomores, which didn't give us many experienced gymnasts," commented sophomore Jim Williams. Pre-season injuries to leading gymnats Dan Martin and Jeff Cassell hindered the team's early performances.
Winning only one dual against Beatrice, the Rockets had a disappointing dual season. Basically a young team, they lacked depth and consistency.
Finishing the season as an improved squad, the team score progressed from a 97.0 to a 125.0.
The Rockets placed third in districts, and had four qualifiers for the state meet. Those qualifying were Jeff Cassell, Dan Martin, Craig Alberti and Jim Williams.
" Everyone did really good at state, but other competitors did just that much better keeping us from the finals," commented co -captain Jeff Cassell.
The season looked hopeful for the Rocket harriers after opening with a third place in the Nebraska Wesleyan Invitational. Outstanding individual efforts were shown and the runners started what was to be a successful season.
Consistently turning in good times throughout the season were seniors John Rich, Alan Young, Randee Price, Mark Hawkins, Roger Corey and junior Scott Howard . Although many runners performed well, the team lacked depth
"We had a good group of girls go out, more than usual ," commented coach Bill Rogge. "They all improved tremendous ly. "
The reserves also were pleased wi t h their individua l improvements, and they all battled frequently to make it on the varsity squad. The leading reserve members always battled for the last spot on the varsity.
The varsity team was successful in most of their major meets. In the Omaha Bryan Invitational, the team placed fifth out of a large field. The Rockets received third in both the Trans-Nebraska meets and the district meet. They placed second in the city meet.
"We thought we were a really good team and overall we ran much better than our meet placings showed," commented Randee Price. "The schools we faced ran and improved as much or more than we did."

In a year where nagging "little" things hurt the Rocket varsity. It could be called a proper finish to a heartbreaking campaign when the Rockets were denied a wild card berth into the state tournament. Northeast and Kearney, (who was at the time rated #1) ended up in the same predicament. The Rockets had lost to Lincoln High in their district final 49-38, while the Bearcats had lost to Grand Island in theirs. This left both teams in a position where the wild card would be the only way to reach the tournament. When the point figuring was over, Kearney had edged out the Rockets by 14, and once again a nagging "little" thing had spelled another heartbreak.
The Bearcats earned the final wild card even though the Rockets had destroyed them 72-59 in December. "It was really disappointing," stated junior Linda Shepard . "Heartbreaking," commented senior Peggy Loos
The Rockets started the season with a pre-season #4 ranking. But after blowing away South Sioux City, Kearney and Omaha Gross, and then putting the topping on the cake by winning the LPS Holiday Tournament, the Rockets not only earned the #1 ranking, but was called "the best team in the state far and away," by prep sportswriter Ken Hambleton.
After topping State Tournament qualifier Millard, disaster struck when the Rockets met the Hastings Tigers in Hastings. The cagers' leading scorer Cindy Jelinek, who had been hampered
by a knee injury, injured her other knee, putting her out for the season, and putting the rest of the Rockets' hopes for an undefeated season to rest as Hastings won 43-37.
The Rockets remained a bonafide contender though, even without Jelinek as they won three out of the next four games, setting up the intra-city clash with East high on the Spartans' home floor. The game was exciting as both teams played poorly, but the score stayed close. Much to the delight of the Rocket fans (who had proclaimed the whole day red day) East all-state center Susie Wickham scored at the Northeast basket early in the fourth quarter to give the Rockets the lead. The basket eventually proved to be the margin of victory for Northeast.
The rest of the Rocket schedule was tough, but Northeast pulled away with an even 3-3 mark in the last six games . Districts were next and Northeast was paired with East in the first round. Before over 1,000 red day II fans at East high, the Rockets pulled away from the Spartans to edge outanotherwin43-41, keeping East out of the State T ournament for the second straight year , and giving Hank Willemsen a three year record of 6-1 over East since 1977, winning four straight. Unfortunately, Lincoln High returned the favor by topping the Rockets in the District finals.
"Overall, it was a good year," stated senior Peggy Loos. "We had a real good team, but losing Cindy hurt us more than it should have." The Rockets finished the season with a 15-6 record, a top ten ranking, and a share of the city championship along with the LPS Holiday Tournament Championship, and was only one of four teams to defeat State Champion Lincoln High.

The girls reserve basketball team posted a 12-4 mark this season, much to the delight of head coach Jim Campbell. "We had a fruitful, good, rewarding season," stated Campbell. "It seemed like a good team. They had quickness, defense, and an impressive offense ."
The best game in Campbell's opinion was the Grand Island game. The Rockets trounced the Islanders 61-30, and in the process broke a school scoring record. But the Millard game was the worst for the reserves. "We never got organized from the start," said Campbell.
Campbell cited several players as outstanding: the Corey twins (Cheryl and Nancy) and Laurie Longe. Also mentioned was Robin Plumb, who got key baskets all season. "The Corey twins would really give the opponents double vision," Campbell said.

"Well, I thought it was a challenging season and I thought we played some good games, but then again there were some things we needed to work on," commented reserve basketball coach Leroy Seng.
The Rocket reserves ended the 19791980 season with a disappointing 8- 7 record, and second in the city behind Lincoln East. Seng cited the Lincoln High game as the best for the reserves.
"Lincoln High played good, sound defense , but on the other hand we played very well on offense," stated Seng on the Rockets ' 62-50 intra-city win . " This year's team didn't play defense as well as past years, but on offense they were stunning "
" We tried to play everyone and get them ready for varsity competition," stated Seng. Seng mentioned Tim Ehlers, Mark Hon nor, Al Beahr and Kevin Cook as outstanding players who made needed improvements.

With a team comprised mostly of juniors and sophomores, the Rocket varsity basketball team took to the hardwoods and closed with a disappointing 5-11 mark under Ed Johnson, who finished his 31st year at Northeast. "The team lacked leadership," stated sophomore Mark Diaz. "There weren ' t very many seniors, and the ones we had didn't give any leadership."
Whatever the case, the lack of leadership and experience was the main problem for the Rockets as they suffered through only the 4th losing season in 31 years. There were some good points this year though also, although they were normally outshined. For instance, this was the first time in four years that a Northeast team was able to defeat Grand Island. The cagers upset the Islanders 57-52. The Rockets also played two other games very well. The Rockets shelled North Platte 60-43, and
defeated Omaha Bryan 53-40.
But in terms of excitement, the first game of the year was uncontested The varsity traveled to Kearney , where it took two overtimes, but the cagers defeated the Bearcats 63-60 The following night, Northeast gave defending State champion Omaha Northwest all t hey could handle before falling 71-63. ·
"We didn't have that great of a season, but Coach Johnson taught us a lot about basketball," stated senior Scott Barnhill. "Especially the basic fundamen tals. "
O ne of the most satisfying wins was the 61-55 triumph over Hastings. "We had to fight hard to stay ahead, and t hem had to hang on and win," said senior Emil Bloch. The scrappy Tigers played well , but the Rockets hit the free throws in the clutch to win.
Persh ing auditor ium became a " home court " for the Rockets as sched-
uling problems forced Northeast to play six games there including non-city games against Hastings and Beatrice.
The Beatrice game was particularly heartbreaking. The Orangemen came back from a 14 point deficit to defeat the Rockets 58-53. Beatrice has now defeated Northeast four straight times. A season ending game with Ralston on the Rams' home court was cancelled after Ralstons school system was closed following a staph infection which killed two students there.
The Rockets met Southeast in the first round of districts. The cagers fought the Knights right to the end before falling 49-43. "We were really fired up," stated Scott Barnhill. "We wanted to show people that we weren't all that bad and that we could beat anybody " But the results of the district game ended up to much like the whole season.

"This was a very exciting year," com-
mented first year boys swim Coach Jon
Miller. "We had some fine perform-
ances at the state meet and during the
season."
The state meet was not the only
highlight of a history-making season for the tankers. For the first time in the history of Northeast boys swimming, the Rockets defeated East High in a dual meet. The 91-80 dual win was one of eight dual victories in a year that showed a 8-1-0 record. The Rockets' only loss came at the hands of top ranked Lincoln Southeast, 100-70.
Northeast started the season strong , winning the Lincoln High Relays, capturing the second trophy in Northeast swimming history. The Millard Invitational brought a second place finish for Miller's swimmers. The Rockets upped their city record to 2-1 later in the season with a 102- 70 win over Lincoln High, in the Link's pool.
Northeast finished in sixth place at the state meet, scoring 64 points. Hopes for first place finishes were dashed when senior John Neal finished second in the 200 freestyle and third in the 500 · free. Neal also swam a leg on the 400 free relay team. Other state meet finishes included: Gus Hitz (10th in the 100 breaststroke); Dan Martin (6th in diving); and the other members of the 400 free relay team, Tom Holland, Shawn Burley and Mark Vannorsdall.
Other team members who attended the state meet were: Steve Rice, Mark Bateman, Jon Wagner, Kent Omer, Jeff Hart, Scott Harris, Monte Perry, and Casey Burley. T earn captains for the season were Vannorsdall, Neal and Rice.

The 79-80 varsity wrestling team had a fairly successful season finishing with a 4-5 dual record.
The most outstanding team efforts came when the Rockets defeated Lincoln High 42-18 and placed second in the conference championships. "Second place honors were somewhat of a disappointment, even though teamwise there was a lot of good wrestling. It was demoralizing to lose the first place title by ½ point to Lincoln East," commented senior Dan Base.
Scoring 120.5 points, the Rockets placed fourth out of 8 schools at district. First places were awarded to Steve Burns, Dan Base, and Mike Ryan.
"We had a good team, but we were hindered by several injuries early in the season Jim Rall was out of competition after an injury in the LHS meet. He

would have been a sure placer at state," commented Ryan.
Qualifying for state were juniors Jeff Bruns and Dave Base, and seniors Steve Burns, Dan Base, and Mike Ryan. Each Rocket won his first two matches except Dave Base who was defeated in his first match. Ryan was the lone champion for the Rockets, victorious in the 138 lb. weight class.
Senior Ryan was both happy and sad after ending his high school career with a 70-2 record and two individual state championships. Mike attributes his success to all the people who supported him, especially Coach John McIntyre and Mike's dad. "All the years of AAU wrestling and summer camps were other added factors, and watching my weight year round helped too," smiled Ryan.
