Lincoln Northeast High School 1984 Yearbook

Page 1

About 1.400 students made the halls and classrooms of Northeast their home for a few hours each day during the 1983-84 school year. Take a stroll down memory lane and see how many faces you can recognize 66-125

Who are those students in the "In Group" at Northeast? Well, if you're talking about club involvement, they are the students who take a little extra time to make their group the best it can possibly be You ' ll find them in this section.

126-141

At the time, that particular class that you slept through didn'.t seem too important. Oh sure, you passed and maybe learned a few things. Will the class and the teacher be more important 10 or 15 years from now? Probably. Northeast's staff included about 100 people trying to make education. meaningful._ Was that the tardy bell?

142-185

The steam, the sweat, the tears. It's all a part of the athletic scene at Northeast. The lockerrooms filled with spirited talks and plans that were hopefully put into action on the field, the courts, in the pool, on the mats.

186-197

Are you hungry? Do you need some clothes? How about a corsage or a red rose? You say you need a birthday gift? Have you had your senior pictures scheduled yet? Northeast students were a major part of the Lincoln economy. Some of the businesses say "thanks."

LINCOLN NORTHEAST ROCKET 1984

Sleepy eyes stare in disbelief at the calendar, and fumbling fingers reach out to shut off buzzing alarm clocks. Three short months of late nights, long days tanning by the pool, and sleeping until noon have passed. It's here. The first day of school.

For sophomores, August 29 brought excitement, anticipation, new faces and a nerve-wracking day of trying to locate classrooms. Juniors entered their second year at Northeast with high hopes of involvement and full of expectations.

At the top of the hill, seniors straggled in, looking forward to seeing old friends, and eager to finish their last year of high school. At the same time, seniors realized that their three years at good old Northeast High were almost over.

However, no matter what grade students represented, they might 'have thought that this year at Northeast High School was going to be different. Special. Unique. And most of all FOREVER THE BESTI

From the tops of our heads to the tips of our toes, the look at Northeast this year could be described as "individual" or "different."

Shoes came in all shapes and colors. Vans were a popular and comfortable shoe that could really show the personality of the wearer. They could be purchased and designed with just about anything printed on them.

Pinstripes and checkers were the new looks in jeans. Pants were worn baggy at the top and short and tight at the bottom. Shirts with a knit tie were in fashion for both girls and guys. Polo shirts were popular when worn with the collar up. Torn sweatshirts, ripped at the neckline, were the newest craze after the movie Flashdance hit town.

Hair took on a new twist this year, including a short cut that looked as uneven as possible and stuck straight up on top. Some hair was cut short all over and had one strand of hair left longer in back. Some brave people even had colored stripes in their hair. Earrings were worn by girls and even some guys. The look in 1984 was big and bizarre.

Arcades were still popular and Dragon's Lair was the most exciting of the new video games. Looking just like a cartoon, it provided spectators and players many hours of exciting, new challenges. MTV, Friday Night Videos, and Night Tracks provided other types of video entertainment that become favorite ways of spending time.

Groups like Def Leppard, Rick Springfield, Journey, Bonnie Tyler and Bryan Adams were great to listen to, if you could afford to buy their albums. Prices ranged from $7 to $10.

Buying name brand clothes was "in," but it was also ezpensive. A sweater cost about $35, but when combined with a tie and oxford shirt, the total increased to almost $70. Add a nice pair of Zenajeans and the price tag would be about $110.

It's the BEST and it's

In an attempt to find out what Northeast students thought was "The Best" in 1983-84, the ROCKET staff conducted a survey of the three classes. A total of l 00 students from each class participated in the survey, and this is what they said.

Sophomore Jeff Beckman, who hopes to someday become an architect , worked at Dutton ' s Den for $3.35 an hour. When it came time to cash hi s paycheck , Beckman found that the money didn ' t pay for everything he needed " It was better than nothing, " Beckman said

Heidi Berryman , a junior, worked at McDonald's at 14th and 0 Berryman asked for fewer hours due to a drop in her grades "I have average grades now, but I could do better," she said Berryman made $3.40 an hour, and like so many others, didn ' t have enough money to go around.

The world of a sen ior student at Northeast included working as almost a necessity to help pay for the numerous expenses which face every senior.

Graduation announcements, caps and gowns, college tuition , test fees, and senior pictures all put a strain on the budget.

Senior Traci Huss, a waitress at the Bethany Pantry restaurant, found it d i fficult to save much money. Huss is a member of the Star Strutters, and buying uniforms and accessories left her w i th l i ttle spare change

Class rings were still popular and many new styles introduced this year were more expensive than rings have been in the past. Consumers could expect to pay about $120 for a class ring. ·

Wedding rings, such as those shown from Zales, are expenses many students looked forward to in their futures. The cost of the bridal set shown would be about $600.

Cancllelight, Homecoming, Turnabout, and Prom were a few events that sent Northeast students to local Doral shops. The average cost for a corsage was $10, while a boutineer cost $5.

Money. You always hear that money isn't everything. However, according to some Northeast students, money is almost everything.

Money was needed to pay for the gos to operate a car. More money was needed to pay for the car. Food, clothes, and entertainment also caused students to dip ·into the billfold So how did Northeast students obtain this money? That's right, the cash come from working, that awful word we all hate to hear Many Northeast students spent hour after hour earning the bucks to pay for the necessities, and the frivolities. For some, the 1983-84 school year must hove seemed like they were forever working. ·

If you shopped at the Hy-Vee food store on 48th and Leighton, you might have seen Jerry Jones, a Northeast junior. Jones worked about 15 hours each week at the store. At times. he found the work interferred with his homework , and there were times when it was a struggle to clock in to work.

Sophomore Janel Zager spent about four hours each week working at Zager Antenna Systems on 48th street. Zoger's duties included cleaning and answering the telephone. Anybody who thinks working for your father would be a drag might think differently if they earned $7.50 an hour, which is what Zager was paid. There was a catch, though. Half of Zager's earnings went directly to a college fund which will hopefully help her in her goal to someday be an accountant.

Curt Helmers, a senior who worked at Valentino's North, found his job less than exciting or glamorous Helmers bussed tables and did any other jobs around the restaurant that needed to be done. Helmers had a quick response when asked if he was able to save any money. "Money wasn't meant to be saved," he said. Work wasn't glamorous, and it sometimes wasn't much fun. But it was a way of life for many Northeast students

What comes to mind when someone · mentions an enthusiastic student body, cheerleaders, Star Strutters, twirlers, Pep Club, 200 rowdy band members, and a group of athletes dressed in black and white? You've got it. A Northeast pep rally. With all of the talk about changes in education and the new policies in Lincoln ' s high schools, one aspect of Northeast didn't change. About once a month, tribute was paid to those who wear the black and white. It was a tribute to athletics in general, and specifically, to those athletes at Aocket High who play the games. The North Gym was the scene for Northeast's rallies. Veteran teachers at Northeast will tell about how the rallies in the 1960's were rowdier, with more noise, and more intensity. Maybe. But, the rallies held in '83-'84 didn ' t have to take a back seat to any staged before them.

Excitement still grew, pride surfaced, and tensions of a long week in the classroom were relieved Class competition and skits entertained the crowd that filled the bleachers

The walls and lockers gained glitter as signs predicting the outcome of the week's contest were taped to their surface. Various colors used in those messages defied the school shades of black and white.

Success for athletic teams does not automatically happen because of pep rallies and spirit. So it was with some of Northeast's squads this year. But, fans could count on one thing. Northeast athletes gave their best, and that's all anyone can ask.

Hail to the varsity, cheer them along the way (Hey, Hip, Hooray). Onward to victory, ·we're gonna win this game tonight. So give a cheer for the varsity, long may they reign supreme. Come on and shout till the echoes ring. For the glory of our team.

Every student who attends high school, knows how it feels to be a junior. The familiar feeling is that being a junior is better than a sophomore but not quite as good as a senior. It's just a way of life.

The sophomores get a lot of attention because they're the youngest, they're new to the school, and they have a lack of knowledge.

The seniors get a lot of attention because they're the "hot shots." This is the last fling. Graduation is near.

Juniors are stuck in the middle, with very little attention or concern.

Many juniors are busy in extra school activities or trying to figure out exactly where they belong. Some juniors try to cram a lot of their required courses into their schedule so that when they are seniors they can be on "easy street."

However, according to Sue Munson, cramming courses into a schedule can have a harmful effect. "It's not good to push things," Munson said.

Some juniors think that their junior year is the hardest year since their long history of edcuation began.

"The junior year is the hardest because as a sophomore you try to figure things out and as a junior you know half of what is going on, but it's still confusing," said junior Gary Wheeler.

Kevin Williams disagrees with Wheeler. "I think it's (the junior year) easier because you know more," Williams said

Being a junior isn't always as bad as it seems. For the first year, the juniors aren't booed the loudest at the pep rallies. Most students can drive by the time they are juniors. It is also the first year girls can peform as Start Strutters, reseive cheelreaders, or as club officers.

No matter how their junior year progressed, most will be looking forward to the next fall.

"I'm looking forward to it," Munson said of her senior year. "It will be terrific."

What are some things you can't live without? Have you ever been asked that question before? When juniors at Northeast were asked, it was difficult for them to come up with an answer.

It's hard to imagine what would happen if all the radios disappeared or all the cars, or all the McDonald's or the walkmans. What would life be like? After talking with juniors, it was apparent that other things meant a great deal to them, also.

Gary Chloupek treasures money. But, Chloupek said his family and friends are very important. Besides sitting down and watching his television;, Chloupek said he enjoys listening to a good song on the radio, especially when he's cruising around in his car.

Laura Benson said she wouldn't be able to live without her friends, her car, her bed, her L<;>ver Boy tapes, her clothes, her make-up, her curling iron, her boyfriend Frank Joe, and Jill Bartzatt.

Pam Carter said she wouldn't be able to survive without her family, friends, money, and her . job.

Bob Kalama said he could live if you took away everything except his participation in football and weightlifting.

Susie Ladehoff put it simply and quickly. "I couldn't live without men," she said.

Jill Bartzatt said she would die if you took her curling iron, stereo, friends, guys, parties, money, family, pizza, and college football players.

Faye Robison said to take everything she had except her Calvin Klein jeans, her purple nail polish, Tim, and her religion.

Tarilyn Pollema also treasures her religion. But, family, friends, and of course the male species also rate high on her list.

Mike Boyce likes money, radios, and food. Also, like many red-blooded American boys, Boyce said he couldn't live without women.

To Carrie Ross, the most important things are men, her stereo, money, and people in general.

Most juniors found the question difficult to answer. How wou)d you answer the question?

Homework is never an awesome experience tor students. In fact, it can be quite the opposite. But, like it or not, we always seem to have some homework. Whether it is composition, Modem U.S. History, or some other class, it seems like it is always hanging above our heads. Homework. It's like having a bad nightmare and you can't wake up.

"Sometimes I don't think I received enough homework because I got it all done in class," said Brad Pennington. However, for Leora Frerichs, her part-time job at McDonald's left her with less than enough time for school and she felt there was too much homework.

Michelle Conrad, who listens to Z92 on her television as she does homework right after school, is planning to go 'to college so she can enter the field of business. Conrad studies about one hour each day and received 1's and 2's.

Whether homework was done alone, or with others, in a quiet place or surrounded by noise, in abundance or a small amount, most students accepted it as just part of going to school.

Time. Free time. Free is defined in the dictionary as that period which has no obligation, and time is explained as a measurable period during which an action or condition exists. Do students have free time?

Junior Jaimie Swanda, who works, plays the flute in the marching band and Lincoln Youth Symphony, attends a Bible study regularly, and does homework, thinks whe doesn't have enough free time. When Swanda finds herself with any nonscheduled time, she enjoys going out with friends. But Swanda also enjoys the time when she can be alone, with her thoughts. "I think a lot about the future, and that's when I like to be alone," Swanda said.

Another junior, Robert Schlamann, has about three nights each week that are free of responsibilities and that allow him to do whatever he wants. Usually, that time is devoted to going out with friends, or working under the hood of his car.

Schlamann works at the Centrum, and says that when he's alone he thinks about what he is going to do in the future, and "who I'm going to spend the rest of my life with."

The colored lights glowed eerily, flashing and blinking into the eyes of those near them, while buzzes and beepings echoed in the ears of the people standing huddled over the electronic machines.

No, it's not some scene out of a mad scientist's laboratory. It's just a favorite hangout for a lot of high school sophomores in Lincoln. Whether it's Sluggo's, ShowBiz, or Game Gal-Ry, the location doesn't matter. Every Friday and Saturday night the action is the same.

There are as many different reasons why as there are people who play video games. One devoted fan of the games, Northeast sophomore Bob Caporaso, explained why he liked playing.

"I just like destroying things," Caporaso said. Some have less violent reasons. "I enjoy playing just for the fun of it," Scott Bankson said.

The most common reason is the thrill of competition, or in Troy White's case, a form of sibling rivalry. "I'm trying to beat my brother on his high score," White said.

Jeff Blake plays video machines daily. Though says he plays daily, Blake spends only about 50 cents video games. That's because Blake is at the point whc he can hold control of the game for a half-hour or mo

The last few years, many negative things have be said about video and the effects they have on the Id who play them. Some adults feel that playing vid games turns kids into mindless vegetables. That hasn't been the case with Blake. "I play vide with my dad, he's pretty good," laughed Blake. White saw a positive aspect to his play. "Playi videos helps me relax," White said. "It gets my mind the bad things that happened that day."

Caporaso has seen a physical benefit to playi video games. "The games have given me quicker reflex• and better arm-hand coordination," Caporaso explainc In the future, the popularity of video games may fa just like the hoola-hoop. But, for 1983-84, many Nor1 east sophomores found video games "Forever The Bes

It was during his fifth grade year, while most kids his age were outside playing baseball or jumping rope, that sophomore Jeff Beckman was inside learning how to play a different kind of game-chess.

Beckman has been competing in national chess tournaments since he was in the sixth grade. The competition has turned out to be an annual event for Beckman.

After playing well at the local level, Beckman was recommended to attend the National Junior High Championships. At nationals, Beckman had three wins, one loss, and four draws. The tournament included 700 players, and Beckman finished in the top 100.

To keep his skills sharp, Beckman attends the Lincoln Chess Club one ciay a week and matches his skills against the other members. He also attends 10 rated tournaments, and plays between 60 and 75 rated games each year.

Competing in tournaments and putting in the practice hours needed does take time, but Beckman feels that he gets a lot of benefits from his experience. Beckman has found that concentration is a key element in chess. "I played in one chess game that lasted nine hours," Beckman said. "Thank God, I won."

Another goal of Beckman's is to win the U.S. Open and the prize of $30,000 that comes with the title. But for now, Beck- : man hopes to be Forever the Best chess player he can possi- · blybe.

Cederdahl Hoppy Soph

Being a professional rabbit breeder may be a different type of hobby. But, if it is, that doesn't bother sophomore Jay Cotton Cederdahl.

Cederdahl began breeding rabbits as a 4-H project when he was 10 years old, and living on an acreage with his family. Since that time, his family has moved and now the breeder keeps his rabbits in heated sheds in his backyard.

Cederdahl raises the rabbits and shows them at state, county, and district shows. Ribbons, trophies, and money are awarded at these shows but Cederdahl said, "It's more prestigious than anything."

After winning at a show, the rabbit, when sold, is likely to be worth even more. Since most of Cederdahl' s rabbits are eventually sold as breeding stock, show animals and pets, this is important.

Cederdahl spends a lot of time working with the rabbits. He works, on the average, two hours each day feeding aI)d wat ching them and four or five hours on the weekends cleaning the hutches. Also, during the fall and spring, there is a show to compete in every week. Because of all the time devoted, and the cash reward whenever he sells any of his stock, Cederdahl's hobby is more like a part-time job.

Cederdahl enjoys breeding rabbits and taking them to shows because he enjoys competition and it is also a good way to meet people.

ChorusChorusChorusf -

Mixed Chorus and Girls Chorus are among the many elective courses offered at Northeast . Chorus classes are taught by Mrs. Mary Oestmann and Duane Nichols. Main activities are concerts which are presented in the holiday season and also in the spring.

Junior Lori Manley hadn't taken any chorus classes before this year, but she chose one to fill up space on her schedule. -

"Getting ready for the holiday concert was really fun. I like being in mixed chorus because it's fun and I enjoy seeing my friends in class, " Manley said.

Sophomore Lori Francisco had different reasons for taking her Girls Chorus class. "I would like to be an actress and a singer. I like to sing and I want to try out for some of the singing groups," commented Francisco. "I enjoy practicing for the holiday concert but I got so tired of practicing the same song over and over. If I could change it, I would sing through the whole song instead of constantly repeating."

Taking chorus classes for the various reasons , such as filling up a schedule, or practicing in preparation for the singing groups proved to be a fun experience for members of the chorus classes. 87/Chorua

MarchingBandMarc

The Lincoln Northeast Marching Band lived up to its excellent reputation in 1983-84. For the last five years, Northeast's band has consistently received superior ratings. What goes into that final production? What makes the band so successful?

Early morning practices were a consequence paid by all band members. It was also a part of the program most, if not all, of the members hated. Regardless of the weather, practice was held every morning until the end of the football season from 7:15-8:30.

Colin Clark, who has been playing tenor saxaphone since the fifth grade, joined the marching band because "my older brother said it was fun." Clark enjoyed his part in the band, but _ he said it would have been more enjoyable if the school board allowed more trips for contests.

For clarinet player Jenni Johnson, joining marching band was just the next step in her musical involvement at Northeast. "Mr. Klintberg is an excellent band director, a good teacher, and a good friend," Johnson said. Johnson did expressed a desire for the band to be more selective and said that too many students were

The band did get involved in what seems like an age-old controversy of school support for the group. A few members thought that there was not enough support given for what the band accomplished. Klintberg, trying to smooth out the minor hassle, disagreed.

"We actually have it a lot better than most bands when it comes to support," Klintberg said. "I'm very pleased with the support from Northeast. It's an excellent environment for all activities."

Drum Major Brian Anderson, who said he flopped his arms around a lot, gave a different interpretation when describing the band.

"It was a mega, totally awesome year," Anderson said.

There is one band at Northeast that is a little different than the others. With more freedom of expression, and jazz music, Stage Band has a lot of fun playing jazz and swingtype music for concerts and compe- titions.

Members of Stage Band attribute some of their success to the fact that they all get along well and they play well together. Mike Harris, a senior drummer in Stage Band, explained his feelings. ·

"We 're like a big family and we all have fun playing our music together," Harris said.

Taking trips here and there to perform is common to Stage Band. Highlighting their year will be a trip to the Kansas City Jazz Festival where the members will stay for three days. "We will perform, go to clinic sessions, and hear other groups perform, both professional and high school bands from six other states," saxophone player Colin Clark said.

Members of Stage Band enjoy the freedom they get for more personal expression and the type of music they play. Brian Dolezal commented, "We're not very restricted as to the improvisations we can make. We have a lot of fun."

It takes practice and determination to play amusical instrument. "It takes a lot of skill, technique, and concentration to be in an orchestra," Diane Kloke said. "Mr. Klintberg helps us a lot. He makes us work hard and he has a positive attitude," commented Julie Lee.

Lee and Kloke are both members of Northeast's orchestra, which experienced another successful year.

Members of the orchestra have various musical interests and they differ in what they want to do in the future. Some will continue their musical interests in a college band and maybe major in music.

"I'd really like to play in the university's marching band," senior trombone player Tony Lollman said. "I'm not sure I'll have time though, because I'm going to major in medicine."

Individual achievements of orchestra members also differed. Many got their interest in music during elementary school when they were evaluated and a musical instrument was suggested. Some members have been playing and taking private lessons since grade school.

Northeast's orchestra participated in many concerts such as the Hastings Honor Orchestra, All-State Orchestra, and other musical groups and clinics.

The group also participated in the All-City Orchestra Night, where the high schools in Lincoln performed. Although ratings were not given for the event, it gave the orchestra a chance to compare its sound with the other schools.

Northeast's Concert Band doesn't have to take a back seat to the school's excellent Marching Band, for good reason. Members of Marching Band become members of either the Symphonic or Concert Band, depending on playing ability and class schedules.

Concert Band, which meets second period, is mostly made up of sophomores, but it does include some juniors and a few seniors. Other students have room in their schedules for both Symphonic and Concert Band, but they switch instruments for each band to add variety.

One aspect of the band that members enjoy is the fact that they play more marches, classical music, and a few up-to-date pieces of music. "The music is more challenging and you have to work harder to learn it," Jason Griess said. One of Griess' favorite songs was "White Rose."

The band conerns itself mainly with what Director Jeff Klintberg calls "band literature." By that, Klintberg means songs for programs, and lighter music instead of pop tunes or pep music. "The kids aren't crying to play Michael Jackson," says Klintberg. "The kids are learning strong leadership and it's a good learning experience," Klintberg said.

To the sophomores, Klintberg is a great guy as well as a super teacher. "He's nice, a good director, he's calm, and he acts like a friend, not just a teacher," explained flute player Lynda Holt.

Every member set goals and expectations for the band as well as themselves. Some looked forward to a Kansas City contest, while some hoped to hold a firs1 chair. But, for sophomore Gary Ackerman, his goal was to "work as hard as I can so I can be as good as senim Colin Clark."

Northeast's Concert Choir, which numbered about 70 in 1983-84, kept busy by singing in competition, concerts, and the school musical.

The group's members expressed pride in working on songs then performing those songs. The choir thoroughly practiced the songs and that practice showed in performances.

"We received high ratings for our performance at the annual Choral Directors Convention at Ralston," commented senior member Cindy Lesoing. "It was really fun. We were judged by choral directors from all over the state. I thought it was our best performance all year."

Junior member Wade Griffith, while enjoying his experience with choir, also noted some faults with the group.

"The worst thing about choir is the repetition and drilling," Griffith said. "The thing I like most is the musical. It's probably the funniest thing we get to do. We act, sing, and ham it up."

Northeast's Meistersingers is a select vocal group that sings only Madrigal music which was popular during the Renaissance and is generally about court life, love, and the daily life of people. Another difference with the group is that it sings all of the music acopella (without accompaniment). "The members must be independent of their part and really know what they're doing," stated sponsor Duane Nichols.

Senior member Dan Smith explained, 'You tune in to each other to compensate for having no accompaniament to depend on."

One of the biggest events of the year was the Madrigal Dinner in March. The dinner, an annual event, featured members of the group wearing authentic Renaissance-era costumes which they made themselves.

"Putting on the Madrigal Dinner made the work all worth it," explained junior member Sue Munson.

Senior member Joe Cooper said, "You felt like you were really back in the old times, like everybody was a lord or a lady and everything was proper and old English."

The small number of members was also an advantage welcomed by most members. "Since it's a small group, you get close to the rest of the members. You get to know each other really well," Munson said. "You become a little like a family, since you do work together for so long," Cooper said.

The group makes a circle around Oestmann. They find the music to "Joshua Fit The Battle to Jericho."

"I need a lot more sound! Need more alto! Make it more jazzy! Not enough sopranos! You almost had it!" Those were a few comments the group heard from Oestmann during the session. But these comments are typical to make a perfect swing choir, according to Oestmann. "I press for excellence in my music groups," said Oestmann.

Swing Choir performer Geri Reeves felt the kind of music they performed (pop and jazz) was worth more than the words. "The music shows feelings which words can't express," said Reeves. At home, Reeves said she listens to pop and soft rock music because the words talk about what goes on in modern life, she said.

For Dan Smith, music is fun and it's more fun to make other people happy with music. "It's great to entertain other people," said Smith. He also encouraged Swing Choir to become a two hour class in the future.

Being in Swing Choir provided very memorable moments for the members. Some will remember traveling to competitions as well as performing. Smith will remember the day he jumped from a riser into the "splits," ripping his pants.

Neither Smith nor Reeves plan to make music u:cellent

their profession. Reeves said she planned a more practical career, while Smith said, "It would ruin the fun of it."

When a group gets along well off-stage you know it has to affect the quality of the on-stage performance.

That's exactly what happened with this year's Triple Trio.

"This group is especially compatible," said Duane Nichols, the group's sponsor. Becoming friends with other members of the group was easy because of the size of the group.

"I thought it would be neat to be in a small group," commented Jenda Radford. "The fact that the group was so small and that it would be a select group were the reasons why I decided to try out for Triple Trio," Sherri Krause said.

The group worked on their songs and routines for an hour each day, and it generally took about three weeks to perfect a routine and get it ready to perform in front of an audience.

Giving the performance in front of an audience can be tough, sometimes.

'You're scared for the first couple of minutes, until you get comfortable," Radford explained.

For Krause, it makes a difference where you give the performance.

"School concerts are a lot ha~der than those outside of the school," Krause said. "Performing in front of your peers is tough. If you can get the crowd with you and into the concert, then it's fun. But, if they just sit there like they're dead, then it's not so good."

One performance that this year's members enjoyed was when the sang at Kahoa Elementary School. "That was fun because the little kids were enthusiastic. You

could tell they were enjoying themselves," said Sherry Bartzatt.

Another memorable time during the year was the annual Triple Trio reunion. The reunion brings together members of the group from past Triple Trios at Northeast. "The older members talked about what things were like when they were in high school," Radford said. "It was neat getting together like that."

Also high on the list of memorable moments was getting together before a performance and going out to eat. "That's what I liked best," Bartzatt laughed.

ChamberSingersChc,

Northeast's Chamber Singers went all the way back to the 14th and 15th century to entertain people. Within the school year, the group sang Renaissance to Rock.

'You've got to hit it when you get there. Let's start over ... Better, but one more time!" Those comments were typical of the suggestions offered by Mary Oestmann, who sponsored the group.

"She (Oestmann) needs to push us for perfection and we appreciate it in the end," commented Carrie Ross.

This year, the Chamber Singers attended the Renaissance Fair in Kansas City, an event which broadened their knowledge about the time period. They saw dirt streets and shacks while people walked around singing and acting out the period of the time. "There were things I had never seen before," remarked Jody Wiatt.

To Wiatt, music isn't just play. She takes her Chamber Singer membership and her music theory class very seriously. "I want to give the enjoyment I get from music to others," Wiatt said. Wiatt hopes to someday teach music.

The Chamber Singers, which in the past has always conducted the Northeast Rock Show, got a bit of bad news this year. Because the school year was shortened by a week, the group had to share the Rock Show with the Swing Choir and Stage Band for one combined show instead of two seperate shows.

The group spent many hours practicing and performing. For Ross, the thrilling moment would come after starting with a new piece of music then seeing that piece develop into a successful sound. For members of the Chamber Singers, that was what the year was a success.

HorizonsHorizonsHo

Members of the girls singing group, Horizons, have kept themselves busy during the past year with their performances and all of the practice time put into each performance.

Horizons performed this year for concerts at school, retirement homes, shopping malls, and at the music department's soup supper.

It seems that all of the members enjoy singing in Horizons and get along well together, aside from occasional differences of opinions, which are common in most groups. As the girls practiced and performed together all year, many memories were made.

Combining their singing with dance steps, Horizons practiced their steps and music for two or three months before a performance to get things rehearsed. Of course, even with all the practice, things can sometimes go wrong.

Londa Evans remembers one of those embarrassing moments.

"We were singing 'Singing in the Rain' with umbrellas as props," Evans said. Just a few minutes before we were to sing I realized my umbrella was missing. As it ended up, I had to perform without it. It was pretty funny, and embarrassing."

Kristal Worley remembers another funny moment at the soup supper. Margaret Garcia was dressed as a clown and she had balloons to give the kids.

"After we sang, a few of us were sitting together. Margaret accidentally let go of some balloons. One of them popped as it hit the ceiling," Worley recalled. "Then, it fell into a lady's plate of food. The lady wasn't very happy, but it was really funny."

These, and many other incidents, made for a fun year for Horizon members.

Northeast students may not be familiar with agriculture lifestyles but the 41 members of Future Farmers of America (FFA) are gaining needed experience in the world of agriculture production and business.

No, this doesn't mean that those 41 students will become farmers. However, it has been estimated that 80 per cent of the people employed today rely on agriculture for their jobs. This could mean a truck driver who hauls cattle, or someone who works in a factory which uses agricultural products.

Northeast's FFA chapter is very active. Members have attended the National Convention in Kansas City, a convention in Washington, D.C., numerous leadership conventions, and district and state contests.

Each member, also, has an individual project. Although they are somewhat limited by living in the city, members can raise cattle or wildlife for their projects or work on agriculture-related jobs.

President Dean Folkers is very enthusiastic about FFA and his project. "For my project, I'm working at Williams Garden Center," Folkers said. "I have worked there for several years. With my dad being co-owner of the store it was an excellent opportunity to learn about agribusiness. I keep records on what I do each time I work and also on how much money I make."

Folkers' work paid off at the State FFA Convention, when he was named the State Star Agri-Business Award.

TwirlersTwirlersTwi

Whatever goes up must come down ...

This statement applies perhaps to the times when a baton was tossed in the air, soaring higher and higher, only to come back down to Earth, and disappointingly, not back in the hand of the twirler who threw it but landing with a kerplop, flat on the ground. Yes, it could apply to those embarrassing moments or it could apply to the squad 's year itself.

The Twirling squad started the year out with four line twirlers and one feature twirler, Senior Lisa Thompson. The members all got along fairly good; their twirling and routines progressed well. But by the beginning of second semester, however, the squad was down to only two line twirlers.

So like the saying and like the batons, it seemed the squad was having its problems as its numbers deteriorated. Jeff Klintberg, Twirler Sponsor, said, "There are always problems; there are a lot of pressures and personality conflicts." For various reasons, two members left the squad. Minus two members, the group was unable to perform some of its last planned performances.

Despite some of the disappointments for the Twirlers in the 1983-84 school year, there were still plenty of good times and benefits from the year. Senior twirler Kelly Viox said, "I learned how to twirl this year and we did have a lot of fun." Performing in front of large crowds also helped Viox overcome shyness, she said. "Overall, I think the year was pretty successful," Viox said. "Sure, we had a lot of problems, but we also achieved a lot. I think we did really good twirling and we were a pretty good squad mainly because in spite of our differences, we were able to pull together during performances."

One of the bright spots remembered by Senior Tatia Gaibler was in the Lincoln Public Schools contest when the squad received a superior rating. A favorite memory for Gaibler also occurred at a pep rally. "I think the flag routine we did at the pep rally went pretty well," Gaibler said.

Senior Lisa Thompson, feature twirler, is an "independent" member of the group. Throughout the year, she performed routines on her own. Thompson explained the differences between line twirling and solo twirling. "In a solo routine, there are more dance moves included than just line twirling," Thompson said.

Klintberg was pleased with the accomplishments of the twirlers. "I'm very pleased with what the girls have accomplished because basically they had to teach themselves all they know," he said.

VarsityCheerleader

Being involved in school activities, having fun, and promoting school spirit are three of the main reasons girls said they tried out for varsity cheerleading positions.

None of the cheerleaders regretted trying out and earning the title of varsity cheerleader. But, most learn quickly that cheering and doing mounts were not as glamorous as they seemed. They also found that many long hours were spent making locker signs, hall signs, and routines.

What else, in addition to time, does it take to be a varsity cheerleader?

According to Lynn Maul, it takes stamina, endurance, body strength, and balance. It also takes dedication. "You have to do what you set out to do," Shelly Bartzatt said.

The tryouts, which the girls went through during the latter part of their junior year, were as demanding as the year ahead would be as cheerleaders. A nervous Shelly Bartzatt, when asked why she was trying out for cheerleader, said, "I want to make the whole school happy."

The oft-used expressions from some members of the student body to refer to cheerleaders were heard, as usual. Words such as "rah-rahs," "dizzy cheerleaders," and others could be heard. But, to Bartzatt, Maul, and Joni Minnick, those comments just made them prouder to be cheerleaders.

"When one person says they appreciate what we do, then it makes it all worthwhile," Maul said.

The 1983-84 cheerleaders were sponsored by Mrs. Nancy Bishop.

ReserveCheerleade

What have four junior girls done to support reserve and sophomore sports, and in general, promote school spirit at Lincoln Northeast?

Dawn Danielson, Kandi Keech, Shelly Scott, and Tracy Walker are the four spirited girls who make up the reserve cheerleading squad. This squad not only cheers at reserve and sophomore sports events, but they also make hall signs for every event, make locker signs, sponsor a reserve pep rally, and sponsor dances.

Many young girls dream of being a cheerleader. All of this year's reserves had that dream.

"I always looked up to cheerleaders when I was younger. I idolized them, but I didn't realize how much work it involved," Kandi Keech said. "I don't think most people realize how much work the cheerleaders do. We do so much more than just yell at games."

All members of the squad spend well over 15 hours each week doing various activities associated with cheerleading. It can get very hectic for them to manage their duties as reserve cheerleaders, jobs, and other activities, not to mention any time for themselves.

Over the summer, the girls practiced every morning from 7:30-9:30. This time was spent learning cheers, chants, and mounts.

Another summer event was the annual clinic. "We worked so hard at clinic. It was really tough but it was also a lot of fun," Keech said. "There are so many good memories and it helped draw us closer together so we could work better as a ~roup."

StarStruttersStarStr,

Fun. That's the main reason girls tryout in hopes of becoming a Northeast Star Strutter.

Even though being a drill team member was fun, most of the girls would admit that it was not all paradise. Many found out it involved more hard work than they had ever imagined.

For some, being a Star Stutter was a personal goal and maldng it was a real triumph. That's the way it was for Sherry Bartzatt, who said it was a real challenge to become a Star Strutter.

But, being a Star Strutter is not as glamorous as some might think. This year (like last year), the Strutters heard many comments about their performances. Some of those were negative comments. 'You learn to take it," stated Star Strutter Traci Huss.

'You have to be able to take criticism, and lots of it," Captain Tina Dill said.

This year, with the change of basketball schedules, the Strutters performed for more girls basketball crowds.

Routines that ranked high on the list of members included Broadway, Get Away, and Eye of the Tiger. Being able to kick, bend, move with the music, and smile aren't the only things it takes to be a Star Strutter. It also takes time, effort, and some kind of coordination. Members must also learn to take criticism from the team captain. "That was hard in the beginning, but I can handle it now," Bartzatt said.

Even though there were problems and there were times when members thought being a Star Strutter wasn't worth it, most of the members will carry pleasant memories with them from their involvement.

"It was a fun experience. I'm glad I was a Strutter," stated Tina Dill.

"I loved it. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world," Huss said.

PepClubPepClubPeF

Pep Club continued to search for answers in 1983-84 as a decline in membership continued.

What was at one time a group of more than 200 girls in the 1960's fell to an enrollment of about 90 for the fall of 1983 and was down to 25 members for the final few basketball games.

Answers to the dilemma did not come easily. Girls athletics, drill teams, bands, drama classes, and part-time jobs may figure into the lack of interest now in Pep Club as compared to 10 or 15 years ago.

Another explanation was that by December, girls are settled into a routine at school, they meet new friends, and begin doing other things besides attending games.

"Pep Club used to be the only thing for girls to do at school," Northeast Principal Harold Dietrich remarked. "I don't think the membership will ever get back up to the 200 range. It's a sign of the times."

Northeast's Pep Club officers started the year with a number of goals as they tried to rebuild the group. Some of those goals worked, while others did not.

There were more parties, get-togethers, and fun sessions. The shoe requirement was also changed in hopes of keeping down the cost of being in Pep Club.

Another change that affected Pep Club was abolishment of the policy that in order to try out for a cheerleader position, a girl had to be a member in good standi~g of Pep Club. Because of the low Pep Club membership, the cheerleading tryouts were opened up to the entire school.

"I can understand why the policy was changed, but that doesn't make it right," stated Pep Club President Rene Bomberger. "The members were promised at the beginning of the year that if they stuck with it, their reward was being able to try out for cheerleader." As it turned out, the newly-elected cheerleaders were members of Pep Club this year or last year.

Communication between Pep Club and cheerleaders also suffered at times. According to Pep Club Officer Daina Cepure, "People got caught up in petty things, like shoelaces."

For many girls, the club seived as a bridge from junior high to high school. "It helped me adjust to high school," stated sophomore Michelle Mayfield. "I felt I was going in with an organization, and not just myself." However, Mayfield said more support is needed from the school.

There were also advantages of being in a club such as Pep Club. Girls learned new and more responsibilities, dedication, how to get involved, and they also met new friends.

RocketRocketRocke

A good high school yearbook takes a lot of time and work before it can be distributed to the student body on that long-awaited day. The 1984 Rocket was no different.

In the first few weeks of school, the staff brainstormed new ideas, designs, and themes. The ideas were voted on by the staff and a basic plan for the book was put in motion.

This year's staff was organized different than last year's. This year, the Rocket staff was divided into six sections. Members of the staff were selected to positions on layout, sports, photography, advertising, photo selection, and copy. Each section had specific deadlines it was asked to meet.

The 1984 cover was also different. The Rocket staff asked the student body for ideas, but the staff received ideas from only one student and staff member. Brian Anderson, a member of the sports staff, designed the Rocket cover and division pages.

The sports staff faced the problem of making sure all sports were adequately covered. Two new sports, sophomore girls basketball and sophomore volleyball were added to the sports section.

Serving as a newsletter to students, the Northeastern staff once again tried to inform the student body about what is going on around the school.

The staff of the Northeastern was smaller this year, which sometimes overloaded staff members.

One area that was understaffed was the advertising department, where Senior Rene Bomberger was the only salesperson for the paper.

"I enjoy selling ads to some customers because it's so easy," Bomberger said. "It's important for me to sell enough ads for each issue and also to meet my deadlines."

The reporters were often overloaded with the number of stories they had to write for each issue. Reporter Chris Kane would like to improve the paper so that people are really interested in reading it.

"More features on student life may bring more interest. Many times, the reporters are unaware of all the possibilities for stories," Kane said.

Lora Jones is editor of the 11-member staff. "With only a few experienced people on the staff, the beginning of the year was very busy for me, learning new things very quickly," Jones said. "Even though this is my third year on the staff, I realized there were many things I hadn't done before," Jones said.

Being on the Northeastern staff may be a lot of work but there is also a lot of fun involved.

"The St. Louis convention was really good," Jones said. "It was really neat to see all the people from the midwest with interests in newspaper and yearbook. I loved St. Louis because it was an oldfashioned town just full of history. The funniest thing was eating on the riverboats."

ArtClubArtClubArtCI,

Having an interest in art is enough reason to be a member of Art Club at Northeast. In the 1983-84 school year, the Art Club membership grew, with about 10 members who met every Wednesday to discuss upcoming activities. Meetings lasted from five minutes to an hour, depending on what needed to be done.

"I joined Art Club because I enjoy seeing art and I have an interest in photography, which can be considered an art form," stated Art Club member Marti Gallagher. Some members joined for the friendships which a club can offer.

Art Club was active with fund raising activities like bake sales, candy sales, and various other events. Money made from fund raisers was divided by the members and used for a club trip. Usually this trip involves going to a larger city and seeing famous art galleries and museums. Where the club goes each year is determined by how much money is raised, the interests of the club members, and the ability of the members themselves to finance part of the trip. In the 1983-84 school year, the Art Club hoped to visit Chicago or Kansas City in the spring.

Art Club has done some community service activities this year, also. This spring, club members enlarged and drew many pictures and colored them. The pictures were taken to a hospital to decorate the pediatrics ward. They tried to pick cheerful and spring-like photos with bri,iht colors to help cheer up the sick children.

But to Math Club members, what may be scribbling to others makes complete sense to them. The member do have an opportunity to learn a bit more than the average math student would in a class. At the club meetings, one of the things that the sponsor Bill Rogge does is show the members clues to make their their math work easier. "We learn math tricks and shortcuts that really can help," said senior member Dave Willis. Rogge also taught the students the strategies to several games such as "Battleship."

Besides learning hints and strategies, some of the members participate in several math contests throughout the year. This can also be one of the reasons for joining the organization as shown by Junior Kevin Greenfield. "I basically joined because I wanted to be in the competitions," he said.

According to Rogge, the topics and types of questions presented at these competitions are quite different from those in math classes. "A student has to be interested in math and be prepared to handle that difficult questions," Rogge said.

Apparently, several students were prepared to handle the difficulties as the club's members did quite well in various competitions this year. On the National Math Exam, the Northeast team took third place out of 142 schools. In the individual category, Jeff Lee was second out of 7,330 other participants. Lee's score on the math exam was a 98. Rogge said, "I think that is the highest score we (Northeast's Math Club) have ever in the math exam.

Rogge felt that Lee's success was one of the high points of the year. "It was very encouraging," he said. Lee's score made him eligible to participate in a more difficult test, in which he also did well.

In addition, the club has two social events, one in the fall and one in the spring. The fall activity was called "Pizza, Pool and Pacman" and was held at Northeast. The spring activity consisted of viewing rented popular movies and playing computer games. "The parties are really fun; I enjoyed them," said Willis.

Ever wonder what NFL means? No, it's not a national football league; ifs a National Forensic League. NFL is a club which gets support from the administration; however, NFL is not well-known among the general student body. The debate team also faces this problem of anonymity.

The Northeast debate team had two divisions of debate in which they were involved. One division was the regular two man debate and the other was the LincolnDouglas debate, which is one-on-one competition. With a 32-year experienced sponsor, the team faced the year's topic of "Resolved United States Criminal Court Procedure Should be Significantly Changed."

For Sponsor Jack Mueller, debate and NFL serve as an educational process. The students learn to research material, develop the material, and present the material appropriately to improve its meaning. "It's an educational thin~," said Mueller.

Earning the honor of being in NFL isn't as easy as some people might think. Every club member has made the requirement of being in the top 25 percent of their class, and they have earned a set number of points in debate competitions or forensics (speech team) competitions, which are coached by Jay Chipman. Despite the standard NFL and debate membership requirements, some personal qualities need to be present in the members, too. According to Mueller, the members need the curiosity as to "why" something happens as well as the competitiveness and the academic ability. "In the competitive way, it's like football or basketball, but these kids are using their brains," said Mueller.

The 1983-84 school year ended with mixed feelings for members of NFL and debate as both clubs. "We had an up and down season," Mueller said. "We're not dissatisfied, but we're not as satisfied as we would have liked."

There is one issue which can't be debated, though. For members of NFL and debate in the 1983-84 school year, these two clubs will remain forever the best.

"You only get out of it what you put into it," is a very famous quote and is applicable to this year's FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) chapter. Members have learned that FBLA has a lot to give them when they put in extra work.

FBLA has monthly meetings at which they take care of club businesses, notify members of events and usually host a speaker from some aspect of the business world who talks to the group. Members of the group can be as active in the club as they want.

Senior Karen Munson joined the club with friends because she may go into accounting as a career. "I'll remember how nice all the people were and how much fun we had," she said.

Many of the members will also carry with them memories of the State Leadership Conference. Girls participated in business seminars and competed in contests.

The sales projects of FBLA helped to pay for the State Leadership Convention, and a trip to Worlds of Fun. Other events included a hayrack ride.

Senior Lisa Moniz, who was voted Ms. FBLA Female Student of the Year at the State Conference, said she learned a lot about organization and responsibility along with gaining a broader knowledge of the business world.

"Most of our members are girls because the guys think it's just a secretary club. But, it's so much more than that," Moniz said. "We had a lot of fun when FBLA and FFA members went bowling together. We try to have lots of fun events for our club so we can keep our member's interest."

Faithfully by Journey was the theme and the UNL East Campus Student Union Great Plains Ballroom was the setting for this year's Candlelight Christmas Ball. Sounds Unlimited poured out the music for 180 couples.

The Candlelight Committee, which is made up of juniors, is picked by the committee from the year before.

The committee started preparations for the dance last summer and continued their meetings through the school year. One problem that faced the group was the financial aspect of the event. The 14-girl committee decided to sponsor a bake sale at East Park. Faye Robinson remembers a customer paying for a lot of food, but he never came back to claim his purchase. "I laughed about that all day," Robinson said.

The sale of carnations and roses brought in about $100. In addition to decorations, the ballroom cost about $150 to rent, while Sounds Unlimited charged $175 for the music. But, even with all of the expenses, the committee was able to leave about $300 in the fund for next year's committee.

Most hostesses agreed that the ball was a lot of hard work, but fun. "I was nervous, but glad to get it over with," said Billie Jo Lovrien.

HomecomingHomec

Probably in the eyes of this year's royalty, the 1983 Homecoming will be Forever the Best.

The royalty this year included Second Attendants Ross Els and Jenda Radford, First Attendants Jeff Soucie and Shelly Bartzatt, and King and Queen Ross Olsbo and Julie Lee.

The Homecoming events began with a pep rally where the royalty was announced. According to Lee, the pep rally was better organized than in past years.

Lee said she had various thoughts when it was announced that she had been selected as Homecoming Queen.

"Oh, I was really excited and surprised, and I think I was really lucky, but all I could think about when I was walking up there was how

paranoid I was that I would trip."

Olsbo had trouble finding words for his feelings.

"It's a good feeling to know you're liked by a lot of people, and I was glad about winning," Olsbo said. "I can't describe the feeling I had when I heard my name announced."

Olsbo questioned the accuracy of the Homecoming voting system. "How can you honestly pick a Homecoming person?" Olsbo asked. "Usually the people who vote don't even know who they're voting for. Some people kind of get left out of all the activities."

Lee felt that despite the problems, there might be Homecoming is a tradition that should be continued. "It gives the school spirit and it's a tradition that has been at Northeast a long time," Lee said.

Homecoming is something that the participants, especially those elected to royalty, most likely will never forget.

At least, the Homecoming royalty of 10 years ago have not forgotten.

In 1973, the royalty consisted of attendants Tim White, Sally Klein; Doug Deterding, and Jodi Strough. The 1973 Homecoming King and Queen were Doug Russell and Suzi Roberts.

Some of the 1973 royalty felt that there are differences between the 1983 and 1973 Homecoming.

"We paid more attention to tradition and Homecoming was more a part of the school tradition," Deterding said.

Klein, who attended this year's pep rally, thought that the rally of 10 years ago was livelier, more fun and more spirited. "At this year's rally there wasn't a lot of student participation," Klein said. "It wasn't as exciting for the crowd, and it wasn't as long. Ours was really special and it seemed like the school was a little closer."

The 1973 Queen, Suzi Roberts Heinzman, agreed with Klein. "It didn't feel like there was the unity there used to be and the attitude was different. It wasn't the big thing it used to be and there wasn't the support there used to be."

Most of the royalty thought that Homecoming is an event that should continue. Klein said, 'Yes, I think it should be continued. There has to be , little honors like this to keep spirit and excitement up."

What exactly do the 27 members of Northeast's Student Council do? The best way to answer that may be to identify what they accomplished recently.

StuCo was instrumental in getting a clock placed on the outside of the building that can be seen from the student parking lot. The Council also pushed for paving of the rest of the student lot, a task that was accomplished during the fall of 1983.

Plantings were made in front of the school, the rocket was maintained, and the organization of the Jr.-Sr. Prom were other duties handled by StuCo.

Senior StuCo member Lori Beckers has been involved with the group for the last two years. Beckers said she enjoys being able to work with other students and trying to help the school.

"I wish the other students would become more aware of all the things Stu Co does," Beckers said. "We work hard for the school because we're proud of Northeast and it takes a lot of cooperation from all members to get things done."

StuCo President Jeff Soucie enjoys the challenge that StuCo presents him, and also the ability to meet different people.

Soucie attended the State Convention, along with 12 other Northeast StuCo members.

"We learned about ourselves and conflicts we may encounter," Soucie said of the convention. "I feel the convention brought us closer together."

Dave Strange, who has sponsored StuCo for the past eight years, said it is important for teachers to have contact with students other than just a classroom situation.

"To achieve this extra relationship, a teacher can be a coach or a club sponsor," Strange said. "I enjoy kids and feel that StuCo is very important. I get to meet some of the best kids at Northeast through StuCo."

Vice-President Jichelle Rystrom enjoys the StuCo activities. She said she thinks StuCo tries to work with the student body, but that StuCo really needs more feedback from the students. "I wish there was more unity between the student body and the various clubs at school, and also with teachers," Rystrom said.

Sophomore Marci Neeld joined Stu Co because she had been in the group at the junior high level. "I wanted to see what it was like in high school," Neeld said. "I like the committee work the best because you get to know the people better and you can work together."

Soucie had his thoughts on what he would like to see happen to future StuCos.

"I would like to see more student participation in Student Council events, and I would like to thank the student body and the faculty for their support this year," Soucie said. "I would also like to thank the Student Council members for their help in getting things done and making this a successful year for Northeast Student Council."

For those who want to learn about improvisation, be a part of putting a school play together, attend other high schools' productions or just meet new people, then Spotlight is just the right group.

The purpose of the club is to provide an organization for all students who are interested in drama and to provide help with work on the school plays. According to the group's president, Lisa Thompson, many members of Spotlight work on the crews or backstage to help the play be a success in this manner.

Spotlight also tries to attend productions at other high schools. This year the club went together to two plays. They saw plays at East and at Southeast. The group attends plays at other schools to have a chance to see what other high schools are doing and to have something as a comparison. Junior member Mary Gaines said, "It was really neat to see how others put on their plays."

The 45 member group increased its membership by 15-20 people from the previous year. Spotlight sponsor, Jay Chipman, said, "That's an encouraging sign. It shows the health of the organization if it can grow larger from year to year."

Gaines joined the club because she is interested in drama and a lot of her friends belonged. She also enjoys meeting new people as another reason to belong to Spotlight. ''You get to make some really good friends," she said. "These are people you wouldn't generally have in your classes. Also, you get really close while working together on the play."

Thompson added that the club is beneficial to almost any student. She said the opportunity to become involved in helping backstage on the play is one thing that some students would enjoy. The improvisation sessions held after the ~eetings for inter~sted members were also a plus for the club, Thompson said. This activity, she explained, could help students to improve their acting skills. Being a member also gives the students some background in drama. "If a member tries out for a play, it might give him an extra chance or a little bit more courage since he would know what he is doing," Thompson said.

This year's all-school fall production was Dark of the Moon, written by Howard Richardson. The legend, which originated from the Kentucky mountains, was written in 1941 before the war, but it was not produced for Broadway until after the war in 1945. "It's a well-known story," said Jay Chipman, Northeast's drama teacher.

Almost 60 students tried out for parts, which was the largest number of people to try out for a production since Chipman has been at Northeast. The cast included 36 students who practiced every day for more than a month in the evenings and after school.

The story concerned a witch boy who fell in love with a human girl. He asked the conjure man to change him into a human so that he could marry the girl. "It has something for everyone," Chipman said of the production.

"It was the best Northeast production ever," said Jackson Warren, who played the witch boy.

Not everything went as planned for the cast, though. There were a few lines that were messed up and a few lighting clues were missed. "It was nothing that wouldn't happen in any other play," Warren said.

One aspect of the production that the cast was glad to have end were the hours and hours spent in rehearsals.

"I'm glad it's over, because now I have some free time," said Brian Anderson, one of the townsmen. "But, it was fun while it lasted."

According to Chipman, the play was a success because more student performed and the play was presented to a packed house of more than 300 people both nights.

Chipman and Warren both said the production exceeded the high school level. "It was comparable to a community or college theatre," Warren said.

Entertaining the audience is the goal of each play and of each actor and actress in the play. Northeast's 1984 Spring Play, "The Great Sebastians" and those involved did entertain.

The play was set in communist Czechoslovakia and was a comedy-adventure. It was about an acting couple that was faced with making a decision to follow their principles or save their skins. The husband and wife were forced to use their conning and intelligence to save themselves.

Geri Reeves and Brian Frantz, who had the two lead roles, had to memorize clues for parts in the play where they do a mind reading act.

Another scene which surprised the audience was when Rudi Sebastian (Brian Frantz) took off his pants and walked around in his shorts. "I really wasn't too comfortable taking off my pants on stage," Frantz said. "I figured the audience would think 'that boy needs to shave his legs."'

To get all the lines and tricks down correctly, many hours of practice were needed. According to Frantz, there were about 30-40 rehearsals. After practicing some of the same scenes over and over, they lost some of their freshness and became boring to the actors. 'You almost get scared that it won't be funny , because you've heard the jokes so many times in rehearsal," state Bob Rook, who played Sergeant Jarosky.

"Because you spend so much time in rehearsals and with the same people all the time, you either get to disliking or really liking your fellow actors," Reeves said. 'You become like family. We all got to become really good friends."

Leroy Willliams, who played one of the main four characters in the play, had never been in a play before and had only one year of drama. "I decided to try out because I wanted to do something that I felt was fun and special before I graduated from high school," Williams said.

---Thomas Wins Prestigious Award----

Every teacher wants to do the very best and reach at least a few of the students they instruct. Perhaps, someday, the teacher hopes the student recognizes this extra effort and interest their teacher is putting forth, and appreciate that fact. It's not often that a teacher gets recognition from any place outside the classroom.

Northeast math teacher Buren Thomas did receive recognition this year. Thomas, chairman of the Northeast math department, was presented with a Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Math Teaching.

Thomas, who has been teaching for 24 years, began his career in Red Cloud, Nebraska. He has been at Northeast for the last 19 years.

Before Thomas was even considered for the award, the school district had to nominate one math teacher and one science teacher. Thomas was the one chosen. Out of all of the state's nominees, the State Department of Education picked two.

Thomas gathered letters of recommendation from former students and others, and he wrote several papers on his teaching philosophies in the classroom.

Finally, Congressman Doug Bereuter phoned Thomas and informed him of the award. Following that came an official letter of notification.

Thomas said when he found out about the award, "I was very excited. I felt it was a big honor since I'm very familiar with how many outstanding math teachers there are in Nebraska."

Because of the award, Thomas and Northeast have received various gifts. "The award has been very helpful, not only for my family and I but for our school and education in general," Thomas said.

Thomas received a personal computer and a grant that will be used in the Northeast math department. A calculator and numerous magazines and reference books were also given to the recipients of the award.

"The material and money received will permit us to put together a pretty complete package that will allow us to do some things we weren't able to do before," Thomas said.

To receive the award, Thomas and his wife traveled to Washington, D.C. for an expense-paid five day stay. During the week, the Thomas' schedule was tightly packed with activities and tours. Because they were with a special group, they had the opportunity to tour inside government agencies and buildings that were not available to other people.

There were also all-day honors workshops where teachers discussed their views and problems they encountered, and possible

solutions to those problems. An afternoon on Capitol Hill was also on the schedule where Thomas met Reprsentatives Bereuter and Hal Daub.

Finally came the _presentation of the award. The 52 math and 52 science teachers from across the United States who received the award gathered in the east room of the White House. There, President Reagan greeted them. Thomas recalls meeting the President as a very memorable experience of the visit.

"I wasn't emotional until the President walked right by me. You just feel different about someone when you actually meet them," Thomas said.

After greeting the award winners, President Reagan gave a speech in which he tried to convey the importance of education in general, and the role of the teacher in particular. When the President finished his speech, the awards were presented to the honored teachers.

While Thomas was pleased to . receive the award, he was even more satisfied with other reactions he has received.

"The award itself has been very gratifying, but contact with parents, former students, and the faculty at Northeast has been just as satisfying, Thomas said.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. We've all heard them, and we've all used them. But, Northeast teachers have probably heard more than anybody.

We 're all past the stage of saying "the dog ate it" or "I lost it on my way to school." Now, we spend hours trying to think up more imaginative excuses.

The excuse, "I had to work late last night" is the most common one heard by business teacher Carolyn Hug. Hug said she is lenient, to an extent, in letting her students make work up. "I'm sure we used excuses when I was in high school, but not as much as today's generation. Our parents wouldn't go along with it," Hug said.

Students who miss a previous class are easy to spot when they return. Immediately, the students rushes to someone else in class who might have the notes. Meanwhile, the student is pondering which excuse to use next. "I was sick. It was my little sister's birthday. I didn't understand. I ran out of paper. I was too tired. I had to babysit. I had a fight with my parents. I didn't know it was due today. I thought I turned it in. I lost it. I thought we would have class time to do it. I left my books in my boyfriend's/girlfriend's car. I had to go to the game last night."

You could say that the excuses Northeast students use are just like the Northeast teachers Forever The Best.

-----TEACHERS

A new program for the benefit of students who have problems with drugs or alcohol was started this year in the Lincoln Public Schools. The School-Community Intervention Program (SCIP} deals with a very large problem which requires attention. The basic idea behind SCIP is that to improve educational growth and development of young people it is important that students be f~ee of the influence of harmful chemicals.

Northeast's SCIP team is composed of teachers, support staff members, and administrators. Members of the group were: Daryl Blue, Maryann Spahni, Helen Carstens, Betty Erickson, Edythe Cascini, Phyllis Henrichs, Jack Anderson, and Harold Dietrich. The purpose of the program is to identify, monitor, and intervene in cases of student abuse of drugs and alcohol. The group also coordinates the aftercare of students when students complete a treatment program and are back in school.

"If using an illegal drug disrupts your life by not paying attention in class because you're high, or if you're kicked out of class, it is important to realize that a problem exists," Erickson said. "I can't believe that students are willing to take risks like getting in accidents, trouble with the law, failing a class, or being kicked out of school just to achieve a desired feeling."

The program achieved the desired results and positive feelings were expressed by those who participated.

Figuring out how much money other people can save is a rewarding job for Home Economics teacher Karen Poore.

Poore, who teaches part-time at Northeast, is an assets manager in her other job. She was introduced to the idea of asset managing by her cousin who showed Karen various ways to save money. It was then that Poore realized she could do the same for other people.

Poore is now showing others how to save money and making money herself while doing it.

One of the reasons Poore enjoys her work is that it puts her in a position to meet new people and help them help themselves.

"Teaching others how to manage their money is helping me to learn at the same time," Poore said. "I'm teaching them to help themselves. Here at Northeast, teaching is my career and I can use that in my other job."

Poore said she likes the idea of teaching only part-time because it leaves her more spare time to spend with her family. "I like the flexibility of being able to volunteer at my son's school if I want to or to be available if I'm needed," Poore said.

Poore said her new job is slow getting started, but she hopes it will pick up. "I'm just getting started, so I don't have a lot of established clients yet," Poore said. "But, I like challenges in life. Trying something totally different every once in a while is what I thrive on.

TEACHERS

Being punished for too many skips, tardies or for low grades is not fun. Parents are notified and then the trouble comes from two directions: parents and school. Although the punishment may be well deseived, it is not something that most students enjoy. An easier route, it may seem, it is to get special treatment from your teacher or authority figure because you know them. You may know them very well, in fact, because they are one of your parents.

At Northeast during the 1983-84 school year, some faculty members have teenagers who are students at Northeast. Special treatment is probably not the case, however.

Senior Jon Anderson, whose father is Vice-principal, explained, "I don't think my friends or I get any special treatment. I still get referrals if I deseive them and my friend's car was towed for illegal parking this year."

Senior Ross Els feels that the teachers and administrators treat him more friendly because he has known most of them since he was young. Els also feels that more is expected of him as a student and an athlete. "I think I expect more from myself," Els said. "Having my dad as the football coach added a lot more pressure on me to do well, to prove I deseived to start at quarterback." Els may have put in more effort on the field, but if he wasn't playing well, his father would decide to take him out of the game, like any other player. "I was careful not to break the rules for the season and put my dad in a bad position," said Els.

Jack Anderson, Vice-Principal, said, "If Jon would have a serious problem with school, he would be referred to me like all other students. It hasn't been a problem for us because Jon stays out of trouble pretty much."

So it appears more is expected from the children of faculty members to do well in school and avoid trouble; they do not receive any special treatment as well.

Jon Anderson laughingly said, "I've never heard any of my teachers say 'I'm going to send you to Mr. Anderson's office' for something I've done, though." Ross Els added, "We have a really good relationship, my father and I, so I'm glad we're at the same school."

After being away from home for a school year, you'd expect a little bit of homesickness to set in. But, that's not the case with Northeast's exchange teacher, Mike Kaiser.

Kaiser, who is from Telford, England, likes being in Lincoln. Kaiser, who will return to Telford this summer, admitted he has enjoyed his stay but is anxious to get back home.

"I like Lincoln. It's an active town," Kasier said. "But, I'm used to my own customs."

One of those customs Kaiser has missed the most deals with sports. "I'm very concerned to get back to the game of cricket," Kaiser said.

Kaiser came to Lincoln thanks to the sponsorship of the Central Bureau for Educational Exchanges and Visits, which is equivalent to the United States' Fulbright Scholarship program.

Kaiser exchanged homes with Northeast English teacher Carolyn Bantam. The only part of the exchange that was not carried through were the paychecks. For a while, Kaiser had his checks cabled to him. But, the figures were in pounds and he soon found that financial institutions would be a problem. As the year progressed, Kaiser kept losing money because the pound kept getting weaker. "I dread going to the bank and asking what the exchange rate is," Kaiser said.

Language in the classroom has been different for both Kaiser and his students at Northeast. Kaiser's students have learned different terms such as fortnight. A fortnight, as students slowly learned, is a two week period of time. His students were also told, jokingly, that Kaiser will have wiped out the word 'guys' from their vocabulary, and replace it with 'chappie.'

Improvement projects proposed at Northeast

Northeast track athletes are hopeful that this old cinder track will be a thing of the past. One of only two Class A schools in the state without an all-weather track surface, Northeast personnel hope that, too, will be a statistic of the past.

Installing lights, and enlarging the student lot are two projects that have been proposed to the School Board.

Northea•t Art and Drama areas have also had plans drawn up to help eliminate crowded and cluttered conditions.

Schedule reflected in record

Northeast's football team, after advancing to the state finals in 1982, finished the 1983 campaign with a 3-6 record.

One look at the teams the Rockets faced would give a good indication why the record wasn't as glamorous as the previous year. Northeast played against the best in the state, including Omaha South and Lincoln East, both top-rated teams during the regular season.

Coach Bob Els' squad opened the season with a loss to pre-season rated Omaha Burke, 26-9. However, Northeast came back the next week to down Fremont, 21-14.

"In the first six weeks of the season we were known as the 'everyother-week team,"' senior quarterback Ross Els said. "We would be off one week, then back on the next week."

One aspect of Northeast's play that seemed to improve with each game was the defense. "We weren't too sure of ourselves at the beginning of the season," stated defensive coordinator Bruce Reed. "But, as the season continued, we managed to learn and accomplish a lot of new techniques."

Northeast's ability to never give up kept the Rockets in contention until the final gun in almost every game, including a seven point loss to Omaha South, which was rated # 1 at the time .

The South loss, while it was not enjoyable, was memorable for Ross Olsbo. "Rushing for 133 yards against the number one team in the state was one of the most memorable moment during the season," Olsbo said.

Reseives win ·city battles

Reseive Football Coach Bill Story encountered something this season he has never faced before in his 28 years of coaching.

Story's reseives, along with the rest of the Northeast football squads, suffered through the hottest preseason practice weather Story can remember.

"It would have been easy for them to quit," Story said. "But, they stayed with it. They fought to overcome the weather."

The early temperature problems helped the team develop the stamina needed to play football, but it didn't do much for the reseives record as the Rockets lost the first three games of the season. Included in the string of setbacks was a 30-0 loss to Southeast. Later in the season,

Northeast fell to the Knights again, but this time by a 3-0 margin.

The Rockets did beat both of their other intra-city foes. Northeast's defense provided the key element in a 6-0 win over Lincoln High, and the offense took the spotlight with a 38-21 win over East.

Junior Hank Newburn look beyond the final record of 2-6 as he described the caliber of play.

"We had good running backs. They ran hard and fast," Newburn said. "The offensive line also was there to help, and we had a good defense, too."

Sophomore running back Steve Strauss led the Rockets in tackles, while Chuck Cole and Dan Parrott provided solid leadership for the offensive team.

District Beatrice setback Ends volleyball season

The varsity volleyball team failed to repeat its 1982 appearance in the state tournament. However, Coach Sandi Genrich's young squad did finish with a respectable 10-11 record.

Northeast posted impressive wins over Norfolk, Southeast, and Grand Island. The Rockets advanced to the finals of the Trans-Nebraska tournament with wins over North Platte and East, but a loss to Fremont kept Northeast from capturing first place.

The season started on a positive note with successive wins over Omaha North and Omaha Gross.

Those wins were followed by a loss to Beatrice, then Northeast won just one of three games in the Cornhusker Invite.

"The girls had the potential to play well," Genrich said. "they worked hard during practices and had lots of enthusiasm."

Inexperience plagued Northeast as graduation claimed key players from

the 1982 squad. Senior Julie Lee was the season-long leader and was named to the Lincoln Journal-Star's All-City Team.

Northeast's attempt to make the state tournament field ended abruptly at the district tournament. After defeating Southeast 15-5, 1512, the Rockets fell to Beatrice, 15-7, 15-13.

Laced with sophomores and juniors, not many expected Northeast's squad to advance past the district tournament.

"This team wanted to win, and they practiced well," Genrich said. "They had the ability to win, they just weren't experienced enough to win the close games." Winning close games has been a trademark of past Rocket squads.

"This team wanted to win, and they practiced well," Genrich said. "But, the competition was just too strong and we fell to the talented teams."

Win over East soph grid highlight

Aggressive, enthusiastic, and talented are just a few words Coach Tracy Stauffer used to describe the 1983 Northeast sophomore football team.

The sophs record, 2-5, may not cause the casual observer to heap lavish praise on the rookies, but Stauffer felt differently about the results.

"I don't think the scores reflect the way we played," Stauffer said. Although suffering through a losing season, the Rockets did play a number of teams close, losing to Lincoln High, 18-8, and falling to Southeast, 12-0.

Northeast's wins came against Nebraska city and East.

Against East, the defense scored first when Mike Fuhrer led a charge that caught an East runner in the end zone. East tied the game at 2-2, but a 15-yard touchdown run by Danny Berks provided Northeast with the winning points.

Berks was the leading rusher against Nebraska City, as he gained 164 yards on 12 carries, including touchdown runs of 68, 27, and 9 yards. Willie Perkins and Mark Kruse also added impressive rushing averages.

"Our defense played well against East and Nebraska City," Stauffer said. "We made East tum the ball over six times on three interceptions and three fumbles."

Sophomore spikers near perfect The Record

The 1983 season marked the initial year for sophomore level volleyball at Northeast and in the state of Nebraska.

If success is measured by looking at the win-loss record, Northeast's first year of sophomore volleyball was an overwhelming success.

The young Rockets reeled off eight straight wins before a loss to Lincoln High left the spikers with a 10-1 record.

Brenda Ward was named the coach of the sophomores , and according to the first-year coach , the season was one of progress.

"I saw a lot of progress throughout the season ," Ward said. "With each game , we improved on one more thing, like spiking or blocking."

The sophs were led by leading server Colette Wehmiester, and by

leading spikers Julie Sarringer and Darla Grieser.

The sophomores were able to win the close matches, an aspect of their play that pleased Ward.

'1 think the girls were really close and they were willing to work together," Ward said. "Heaven knows, that brought them through a lot of close games." Matches against Beatrice, East, Fremont, and Southeast were all decided by a few points.

In the LPS Championships, Northeast demolished East and Southeast to take the title.

"For the first year, the coach really didn't pressure us very much , but our main goal was to go undefeated," commented Rhonda Frahm. The Rockets didn't quite accomplish that goal, losing to Lincoln High in a three-game match, 15-1, 10-15, 1315.

157/Sophomore Volleyball

The Northeast tennis team had a rough time this year with only four returning seniors. The lack of numbers in the senior class was not unique to the rest of the classes.

"We had a hard time fielding a team ," senior Brad Berka said. "We only had about 13 players try out whereas other Lincoln schools had about 30."

The seniors on the squad this year were Noah Amland, Brad Berka, Joel Walton, and Scott Wright.

"The potential was there, but only a few of the guys knew how to use that potential to their full capacity," Coach Bruce Poe said.

The Rockets got off to a great start by winning their first meet against Fremont, 9-0. After that, the squad won three of its 15 matches, and finished the season with a 4-15 record.

"We definitely didn't have as much

team spirit as we could have used ," Joel Walton commented. "We just took too long to get it together."

Berka's most memorable moment from the season was losing at the state meet in three sets to Brad Lewis of Southeast.

Another highlight for Berka, who was Northeast's No. 1 singles player, was winning a second place medal at the Trans-Nebraska Tournament. Although the season wasn't filled with victories, the Rockets still had a lot of fun. "The road trips were great," Berka said.

Berka, when asked what advice he would give to next year's team, answered with a bit of philosophy and some regret.

"Try as hard as you can," Berka said. "Because the season goes so fast, that before you know it, it's over."

The Record

The gymnastics team suffered from a lack of numbers, as only eight gymnasts turned out for the 1983 season.

"The only thing I would want changed for next year is to have more people on the team," stated sophomore Rob Maddox.

Three members of the team qualified for the state meet. The three who worked their way through district and into the state meet were Seniors Jeff Ellis and Calaina Dightman, and Sophomore Rob Maddox.

In addition to the lack of people, the gymnastics program also had another problem as late as one week before the season started. The program did not have a coach.

The administration was close to scrapping the entire program until P .E. instructor and girls track coach Nancy Bishop said she would assume the duties of the head gymnastics coach.

"At first, I was a little reluctant when they asked me, but I decided to give it a shot and see what would happen," Bishop said.

Although Bishop admitted she didn't know a lot about the fine points of gymnastics, she did know the basics and she brought a great deal of spirit with her.

"One thing I can say about Bishop," Calaina Dightman said, "is that she has lots of enthusiasm. She got us hyped up before the meets. We were very happy with ourselves by the end of the season."

Mild disappointment could best describe the cross country season. With sights set on a possible state title, the boys team fell short of qualifying for the meet.

Any goals set by the girls team were washed away when only five girls reported for the sport. It takes eight athletes to compete as a team. The Rocket girls were able to compete as individuals, however.

Practices for the squad started two weeks before school began. The team practiced two hours each morning and two hours in the evening. After school started in the fall, the squad practiced for two or three hours after school, and on weekends. An average day for a cross country runner included 10-15 miles of running.

At the Fremont Invitational, Jim Sundeen finished in first place, Jeff Lee finished third, Jeff Soucie placed sixth, and Bryan Combs took eighth place . Valerie Smith also claimed an eighth-place finish for the girls.

Northeast was again coached by Bill Rogge, and the veteran coach was encouraged by some aspects of the season, and disappointed by others.

"The team had what it needed in talent to be number one, we just didn't have enough people, especially girls, 0 Rogge said.

Without the help of any experienced heighth, Northeast's basketball team still posted a winning record, finishing the 83-84 season at 10-6.

Junior Mike Longe, seeing his first varsity action, was the tallest Rocket at 6'5".

Being ranked in the state is nothing new to Northeast teams, and this year's squad also achieved a top-ten ranking during the season. The Rockets had hopes of making the state tournament field, especially with what appeared to be a wide-open struggle to win the district crown.

However, after defeating Beatrice 55 -46 in a first round district game, Southeast gained revenge against Northeast by downing Coach Ed Johnson's team, 47-37 in a district semi-final battle. Northeast had defeated Southeast during the regular season, 42-34.

"We played pretty well together and we felt confident going into every game," stated senior Anthony Conkling. "But, I don't know if we had a game where we played up to our full potential."

As with all basketball seasons, close games can leave lasting impressions, both good and bad.

Scott Plumb recalls the game against Grand Island. "With one second to go, we were ahead by one point, but G.I. put a shot up at the buzzer, and won the game," Plumb said. "I'll remember that game."

Northeast used different strategies during the season on defense, throwing a 1-3-1 zone against the shorter teams and a 2-1-2 against taller opponents. Defensive strengths were key elements in a 4-1 start for Northeast.

Senior lettermen included Conkling, Plumb , Ron Nelson, and Ross Els.

Coached by Leroy Seng, the boys reserve basketball team practiced hard together. "I thought that we really worked well together as a team especially at the end of the season," said junior Jon Francis. The team came together near the end of the season as several of their games were won or lost by one or two point margins.

The reserves lost their first game to Omaha North, 46-42. However, they bounced right back to overcome the Hastings Tigers, 52-35.

In intra-city action, the Rocket reserves dropped a game to the East High Spartans. Lincoln High also stopped the Rockets in another close game, 45-44. The Rockets stopped the Southeast Knights, however, with a score of 48-37, providing an exciting victory for the boys reseive basketball team over another Lincoln school.

They continued playing close games until the season ending game in which the Rockets dropped to the Fremont Tigers, 45-38.

The girls varsity basketball team in the 1983-84 school year lacked the one thing which they needed most experience. Only 4 girls returned from last year's team, which put the girls in a tough situation, never having played together before. Returning to the team were seniors Sharon Meehan and Marshanette Perkins as well as juniors Tonia Arehart and Kristi Walek.

For season began with a bad streak for the Rockets, losing their first nine games. The Rockets faced several opponents with an experience advantage, who were also rated in the top ten. The Rockets remained determined, however. "It wasn't hard for us to keep practicing, even though we kept losing," said senior Sharon Meehan. "It just made us want to win that much more."

A triumphant moment for the Rockets came when they defeated Beatrice in a close game, 41-39. It was one of their most memorable moments of the season as the girls gained the confidence which they needed. They showed this determination as the Rockets won their next three games.

Coach Hank Willemsen noted the changes in girls basketball. " Girls basketball has changed a lot from when I started coaching," said Willemsen. "The girls nowadays are just as aggressive as the boys are. They start at early ages which makes them all the more experienced by the time they start playing high school basketball."

Sophomore Pam Woodward was an unexpected surprise for the Rocket girls basketball team. She worked hard and proved to be a much needed player on the team. Although their record was 5-13, the Rocket girls worked hard together as a team in games as well as in practices. They enjoyed being together as their determination grew.

"We really appreciated all of the support from the fans," said junior Kristi Walek. "No matter what our luck was, our fans were always there to support us."

In the first district tournament games, Northeast defeated Beatrice for the second time, 37-28. However, they fell to Lincoln High in their last game of the season, 44-30

The 1983-84 season proved to be a learning experience for the Rocket girls basketball team. Despite their final record and slow start, they practiced hard and they played hard.

Northeast's girls reserve basketball team finished the season with a 13-3 record, a success ratio that has been unmatched in recent years. Junior Dawn Bossaller had her ideas on the reason for the improved record.

"We had eight returning juniors, so that helped a lot," Bossaller said. "We knew each other better and we had more of an idea of what the other person was thinking."

Unity was an invaluable asset to the squad. "We got along very well," sophomore Darla Grieser said. "The coach helped to keep our spirits up most of the time."

The coach Grieser referred to was Marty Shields, who guided the team to its best record in Northeast girls reserve basketball history.

Goals came easy for the team, as the first goal was to better last season's record. A secon~ goal of an undefeated season fell three games short.

One win that will stand out in most of the player's minds is the victory over Millard South. That win snapped a Millard South reserve winning streak of 54 games.

The sophomore boys basketball team had a rough season this year, winning one of their 12 games. During the first half of their season, the Rockets had a difficult time getting things together. Coached by Bob Otto, the sophomore boys improved and learned from their losses.

One of the most memorable moments of the season for team member Ty Hyser was when the Rockets beat Southeast in the second meeting between the Rockets and the Knights. The first time the two schools played, the Rockets came out on the short end of the score, 44-34. In the next matchup, however, the Rockets offense took control enroute to a 48-40 victory.

Another memorable moment for the sophomore boys basketball team was against the Fremont Tigers when Don Price made a shot from half-court with only two seconds remaining in the game. Despite Price's tremendous shot, the Rockets lost to Fremont, 54-44.

Even with a losing record, the sophomore boys basketball team practiced hard and stayed determined. They learned a lot about the sport and their efforts will pay off on next year's reserve and varsity teams.

The Record

For the first season of competition, Northeast's sophomore girls basketball team gave a respectable showing with a 4-6 record.

The team started the season with a 34 -2 6 win over Lincoln High. "When you win your first game , it really helps build your confidence," said Trisha Hitz.

That confidence fell a bit in the second game as the Rockets fell to Southeast, 28-22. "It was a battle all the way, but we just couldn't keep up in the last quarter," Hitz said.

Facing their biggest rival , East, the girls had nothing but winning on their minds. Northeast struck early against the Spartans, and pulled away to an i mpressive 37-21 win. "We were all nervous before the game, l;>ut after the first quarter, most of us played our best," said Colette Wehrmeister.

After beating East, the sophs lost their next three games. One of those losses was an overtime setback to Grand Island. "Grand Island put forth a gigantic effort, and we couldn't match it, " said Coach Bruce Waters of the 36-30 final score.

Even with a losing record , most of the girls agreed that a great deal was learned about effort and sportsmanship , and having a good time.

" Even though we didn 't win all of the time, we had a lot of fun and we all got along well together, " Wehrmeister said

"We had some excellent swimmers this year, but we didn't have a lot of returning people," commented Assistant Swimming Coach Tracy Stauffer.

Experience was not a strong point for Northeast's swimmers, especially the girls team.

Made up of mostly sophomores and juniors, the two returning senior letterwinners, Ann Willet and Denise Finch, tried to carry the load. As Coach Jeanie Neal said, "There was a lot of inexperience on the team, and at the beginning of the season there was a problem with attitude. But, by the end of the year, the girls had developed immensely."

The boys had only three returning seniors but the Rockets managed to qualify swimmers for the state meet.

Junior Rich Hitz finished an impressive fifth in diving at state. Jeff Soucie finished ninth in the 50 freestyle, and Lee Willet was eighth in the 500 freestyle. The 200-yard medley relay, consisting of Gary Wheeler, Jim Gelline, Trevor Bryant, and Jeff Soucie, finished with a final time of 1:44, which earned it a fifth place finish. Soucie also finished sixth in the 100 butterfly, and Gelinne placed sixth in the 100 breaststroke.

For Head Coach Jon Miller, the season was one of many accomplishments, especially considering the lack of experience.

Coach John McIntyre's grapplers finished the season with a 2-8 dual record, placed 13th at the Omaha North Invite, seventh at the Trans-Nebraska meet, seventh at District, and 26th out of 29 teams at State.

Five Rockets advanced to the state meet. Tim Hicks, Colin Clark, Scott Clayton, Paul Fountain, and Lou Hays all qualified for the grand finale, held at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.

Only one wrestler managed to survive the first round at state. Fountain, wrestling in the 132 lb. class, decisioned Kearney's Dan Satchell 13-6 to give Northeast its only first round victory. Hicks, Clayton, Clark, and Hays all lost decisions.

"Some of the downfalls with this year's team were support, enthusiasm, and we didn't have enough people," Fountain said.

Fountain's second round match against Antoine Parker of Omaha North kept the fans on the edge of their seats.

Fountain held a 6-2 advantage over Parker heading into the final period. But, Fountain began to feel the fatigue and Parker rallied to pin Fountain with just five seconds left in the match.

McIntyre said following the match that "Paul just ran out of gas. It wasn't that he was out of shape, he just used so much early in the match that he didn't have anything left at the end."
