Beating boredom Tough in Lincoln

By Marta Slechta 1988 ROCKET Copy Editor

To do something when there's nothing to do that's the challenge. To deny and beat boredom is the test. Success is to have fun in a town where there's McDeath, Mingles or the movies, and the alternatives few.

The bookstores, humming with bestsellers, sexy romance novels and the roaring opera in the background to the tune of cash registers and flirting in the aisles with stockers and fellow browsers is rife.

Atmosphere is up for grabs and ultimately, for sale. Clubs like Celebration, the supermarket, and Mingles sell noise, muzak, lights and the potential for finding new dates?

An old standby, the library, has always been a place to sit and talk over the latest fas ions or sports craze while the more studious people study for tests or pretend to research the War of 1812 while they are actually contemplating asking that special girl out.

Shopping at the Centrum or Atrium while dreaming of buying that Rolex across the street for your father (or boyfriend) on tbe off chance that you win the Iowa Lotto or the M&M's million -dollar contest or you go on The Wheel · of Fortune to meet Vanna and happen to get the B19 Prize .

Waving at people of the opposite sex while speeding on "O" and being chased by that particular party and wondering if that earful! from 69 county really could even begin to fulfill your wildest fantasies as promised while they sped by giggling or slapping each other on the back. ·

Sitting in the hall or roaming it during assistantships and study halls or just whenever a teacher will give you a pass out became a common amusement when the going got tough and time was short but the hour drug on. The key was not getting caught by a teacher or administrator on their way to the lounge fort he best cup of mud fifteen cents can buy.

Creating fun from blank time creates ·certain memories filled with imagination and creativity during a Year in the MakinQ.

Bottom: The records, tapes, and discs seemed endless as countless numbers of songs and performers made their way into the charts.

Minis return; Denim is hot

By Tanja Copeland 1988 ROCKET Staff

The 1987-88 fashion scene reflects the whims of New York and Parisian designers. From frivolous and sophisticated to dashing and debonaire.

However, most Northeast students created their own definitions of fashions, fads, and fun.

For girls, the mini-skirt returned to take on new definitions, as well as shapes.

The styles this year mixed some of the old classic looks with some of the new contemporary looks. And Northeast girls added a few looks of their own.

For the guys, there was a little bit of everything. Denim made a big comeback, and we're not just talking about jeans. Denim wear included everything from hats to shirts.

Like clothes, music is also an important part of a student's lifestyle . Choosing a favorite rock group can be just as trivial as trying to decide which new sweater to buy.

This year's music scene saw more than 300 groups and artists. However, few made it past the Northeast doors.

Some of the more memorable artists included Janet Jackson with her hit album, "Control". We witnessed the return of the group, Boston, which made Lincoln a stop-over to help kick off their first U.S. tour in over a decade. We also saw the resurfacing of the Irish rock group, U2.

But while many groups were "hot" , others were hot.

Michael Jackson released a new album, but it didn't match up with "Thriller". His Royal Badness, Prince, released an album, but no number one singles.

The year also marked the tragic breakup of Wham! and the almost total disappearance of Duran Duran.

George Michael proved that you don't need to be backed by a group in order to make it big. There were a lot of solo artists out there in music land.

Taste of adulthood Comes from working

By Tanja Copeland 1988 ROCKET Staff

Where do teens spend most of their time other than school? Your first guess would probably be at work. For mo~t h!gh school students that is one of their first steps towards the future.

Why do so many teenagers work?

There are many reasons, but some of the most common are that jobs give students a sense of responsibility, belonging, and a little taste of adulthood.

Besides some of the more psychological reasons, most students hold down part-time jobs for "material" reasons, too. On top of the list is so that the students can obtain money . Money for clothes, cars, dates, and for just p lain old fun!

Out of the approximately 1 ,200 students at Northeast, almost half of them are employed in one way or another. What kinds of jobs are popular among full-time students? The average types of jobs held by students are those in fast-food and clothing stores. Those cover just a few of the areas of employment for teens.

How do teens obtain jobs? Mostly just like an adult would do, and that is to look

in the want-ads of the local newspaper. It might be from word of mo~th. Most of the time friends find friends jobs

It is not very easy finding a job, because it is a "dog-eat-dog world" out there

A big question is : How do students manage to hold down a part-time job, a~d keep up in six or seven classes? Thats easy lttakes super-teens.

At Northeast, there are a bunch of funloving and serious teens. Students at Northeast know how to work hard, play hard, and study hard

Northeasterners are dedicated to their work, not only to academics but to jobs as well. Work is a different world for most teens. It's a whole different environment. Students act differently at school than at work, because they are occasionally not surrounded by friends, but by other lessfamiliar peers.

At work you really have to obey "the laws of th~ land." Some teens like their bosses, but most teens could really do without them Many teens find that communicating with the boss can be as trivial as a game show.

Fond dreams Are wildest Fantasies for LNE students

By Tanja Copeland 1988 ROCKET Copy Staff

Dreams. We all know what they are, but what do they consist of?

Early in the school year, the yearbook staff distributed a survey. One of the questions asked students what their w;ldest fantasy has been. Dream a while, we asked the students.

For senior Tim Snyder, his fondest , dream/fantasy is to ':win a million dollar . · lottery."

Snyder's dream of winning a huge , amount of money is shared by many. , As everyone knows, money plays a key 1 role in the everclay life of a high school student.

Looking at the future with some fear of the unknown might have caused senior Dan 1;3yers' fantasy/dream.

Byers' wildest fantasy is to, "get paid without working."

As indicated from responses, every student has his/her own unique dream and fantasy. And what makes the Rockets extraordinary is that many have such different goals and dreams 1 for the future, which is just down the road and around the bend.

The Old Walt Disney shows used to end with that meaningful slogan: "When you wish upon a star, you never know, you might go far." The saying wasni meant just for the cartoon world. It can apply in real life, too. ·

Northeast students know about dreams and their individual plans to carry those dreams out.

That well-known phrase coined by a branch of the anned services, "Be all you can be" stretches far" lleyond the U S military and into the halls of North- , -' High School.

Money. Something Northeast students use a lot of, especially during the school year.

Huge amounts of money are spent throughout every year. For example, students spend money on lunches on or off campus, dances, yearbooks, pens, notebooks, activity tickets, pencils and the iist goes on and on.

For most seniors, the list gets longer and longer. Graduation announcements, class rings, thank-you cards, and senior photos are all extra expenses.

Also, for all other students who are involved with other activities in school, the list grows also. Since you are expected to buy sweatshirts, uniforms or even musical instruments, being a high school student

Some 1riends· will stay close forever

True friendships endu -re time, distance Following three-year tri~I at Northeast

By Jennifer Meyers 1988 ROCKET Copy Staff

Friendship is one of the many opportunities high school students have during their three years at Northeast. Friends are important to Northeast students.

Friends are the people you can tell your darkest secrets to, share all -your dreams and fantasies with. A friend is one who will always be by your side to care when no one else does.

For seniors, when they grasp for that diploma, changes occur. Do they think there will actually be enough time to sincerely keep in touch with friends?

Some friends will stay close forever, and some will simply slip

away as they begin careers and seek out new friendships.

For senior Renzo Zanelli, friendship means: "Someone who accepts you the way you are, and someone you can do crazy things with."

For junior Jim Toomey, it means: "When you love and care about somebody, and having that somebody as your friend."

For senior Kelly Mook, memories will remain. "I will be sad because my friends will be going to different schools and in different directions, but glad that I won't have to dodge the sophomores any more."

For Northeast students, the memories off riendships will remain with them from day one. Friendships nurtured at Northeast will endure the time and distance that might come between them. And they will never be forgotten.

Hard Summer Work Pays Off for Rocket Band

While many of the Northeast students were spending their time trying to get a tan or even cool off at the local pool, band members were finding new ways of beating the heat. Under the direction of Jeff Klintberg, the Northeast Rocket Band was trudging its way around the practice field, perfecting their marching techinques and anHcipating upcoming events.

Bandcamp started two weeks before school and at 7:15am every morning, rain or shine, and lasted until the end of the football season.

"I enjoyed the practices every morning, because it helped us learn the marching skms we needed for the upcoming contests," commented Senior Mark French.

All the effort the band members put forth paid off in the end, for

the band had a very successful season. The Marching band performed at parades , sporting events and many contests throughout the year.

One of the many achievements the band is credited with was the Harvest of Harmony Parade, which is held annually at Grand Island. · The band proudly received a superior rating. The marchers also performed at the State Fair, The Star City Parade, and the Farm Aid celebration parade.

"Drum majors Tim Synder and Jenny Perkins brought their own personalities and leadership qualities that the band members seemed to respond too," stated the honorable director Jeff Klintberg.

Strutter tradition continues

Star Strutters, a drill team known throughout Northeast, sparkled as they performed and promoted school spirit at the many athletic events. A total of eighteen hard working young ladies making and perfecting their own routines. Not only, does one have to tryout to be a strutter, they have to maintain a 4.0 grade point average and have all passing grades. There is much time and dedication involved in being a Star Strutter.

"The pressures which are put upon us are tremdous, it's not rare that we have to make up our own routine and perfect it in only one week and then too

24/Star Strutters

perform on a Friday night, but it really is a lot of fun," responded junior strutter Diana Trouba. Besides promoting school spirit, and performing in the many different school activities, the squad took part in the community. The Star Strutters performed at UNL, basketball games arid Wesleyan games. The squad also helped raise money for muscular distrophy by doing a Kick-a-thon. Also in the summer time the team went to camp in Lawerence, Kansas for the American Drill Team School, the girls won the all around trophy. The squad also recieved straight superiors with the band during the football season.

Numbers decline; Spirit remains up

Mrs. Bishop enjoyed working with this years varsity cheerleaders.

"They were a good group to work with and were very cooperative. We had no majorprobelms! The number of girls who tried out dropped this year, but this did not affect the quality of the squad," stated sponsor Mrs. Bishop.

According to Mrs. Bishop part of the probelm of not having that many girls tryout was because the star strutters tryout proceeded the cheerleader tryout and most girls were more interested in being a star strutter. This year though the cheerleader tryouts will proceed the star strutter tryout.

During the summer, the cheerleaders attended a camp in Kearney. Learning new cheers was a part of their training but more importantly the girls developed a sense of self confidence and a positive mental attitude. The girls also met cheerleaders from other schools across the state.

Throughout the year, cheerleaders helped sponsor a number of events and fund raisers. As usuaf, they were involved in homecoming and spirit week. Over the summer they had a car wash and later in the year sold Chrsitmas ornaments.

Michelle Schriner thought cheerleading was a very rewarding experience.

"Mrs. Bishop is very cooperative, understanding and was a very good sponsor. Cheerleading was a good learning experience since we learned to cope with others' attitudes and values and learned how to compromise with them."

Reserves seek Yell perfection

The Reserve cheerleaders led the way for Northeast's numerous games and activities. They were constantly seen cheering with the varsity cheerleaders at pep rallies and during district and state basketball games.

"Nobody knows what it is like to cheer for blank faces," stated Kristi Wienke.

Being a cheerleader as you know takes up a lot of time and hard work. The reserves start their practices to perfect their cheers at the begining of seventh period. Also during the summer they put in overtime working on their cheers. Spirit week was also another activity the reserve cheerleaders particpated in.

"Although being a cheerleader takes up a lot of time it was definately worth all the effort and time that was put in," responded Jennie Brym.

"I made friends that I will have forever. I think thats really special," replied sophomore cheerleader Tiffanie Rapp ·

Everybody that has been a sophomore knows how hard it is at the begining of the school year. It's even harder being in a school activity, like cheerleading.

Cheerleading proved to be more popular with the sophomores than the juniors or seniors. More then 50girlstriedoutforthe squad and only 1o of those girls actually made it.

"There's a lot of practice in being a cheerleader more than most other students think ," stated sophomore cheerleader Becky Stake.

One has to be quick, as well as having the skills to perfect a routine in a small amount of time. The sophomore cheerleaders practice two or three times a week to work on their routines. Most of the cheerleaders have to be very flexible, as well as maintaining a goo d grade point average.

The sophomore cheerleaders helped the Spirit Club, and the varsity and reserve cheerleaders with spirit week and many of the pep rallies.

"It was a good group of girls to work with. We appreciated Mrs. Bishop's guidance and support as she helped us make a lot of difficult decisions," comments Tricia Young.

Individual's talent Stressed in Trio

Triple Trio is a group that sets by itself, in Northeast's music department. The group usually consists of approximately 12 senior and junior girls. This year however, Triple Trio ended up with only nine seniors. The group is sponsored by Mrs. Oestmann.

Trying out for Triple Trio has very few qualifications, although one important aspect is being able to blend well with others.

Triple Trio performed at various events within the school and state. They included the Northeast Holiday Assembly, the Music Department's Soup and Supper, the Norfolk Choir Festival, and a performance at the Cornhusker.

"It's a smaller organization that allows an individual's talent to come out. A lot of schools don't have an all girls chorus. I think we showed that you don;t have to have a mixed chorus to have talent," stated Kim Prososki.

Swing Choir captures Gold at Grand Island

This year 17 seniors and juniors and one sponsor, Mrs. Oestmann, represented the Northeast Swing Choir

The group sings a variety of music, including jazz, Broadway, swing and pop.

Choreography and singing as a group is an important role for the choir.

Swing Choir has performed in several contests. The choir recieved a gold medal for their performance at a Grand Island Contest, and accumulated the highest point average. Another performance included in LeMars, Iowa where they earned second place. The choir al~o made performances at Peru State College and the All City Swing Choir Contest.

"It's a social organization that appeals to people because it deals with higher degrees of music with choreography," stated member Matt Landis.

Chamber Singers Honored at Wayne

Being a member of Chamber Singers means devoting a lot of time and effort into the group to get good results back. The members of Chamber Singers worked hard to achieve good results.

"The group was a very chaUenging group, it demands a lot of time and effort, but extremely fun," stated member Kathy Soflin.

This year's group was directed by Mrs. Oestmann.

The group practiced every day during 2nd period. Mrs. Oestmann would listen to their ideas and make sure the group understood everything.

The Chamber Singers performed at the Rock Show with Swing Choir. There were a lot of solos performed by members. The group worked long and hard in preparing for their performance.

The group also performed for a various amounts of private groups throughout the Christmas season. They also competed at the Northwest Missouri State Jazz competition and was selected as the honor choir at Wayne State. Chamber Singers also sang at the annual soup and supper.

These members seemed to be all choked up.

Part of orchestra sacrifice

By Jennifer Meyers 1988 ROCKET Staff

Being a member of Orchestra means being a part of a group that works hard and devotes a lot of time and effort into being good. This year's orchestra accomplished this.

The 24 member orchestra class practiced every day during 4th period under the direction of Jim Schulz. Some members wt,o couldn't spare 4th period in their schedule gave up their lunch time to play with the orchestra. During 4th period the group would keep going over and over the music until they would get it right. They strived for perfection.

"Orchestra is a lot of fun, since you get more individual attention and you play many different styles of music," said Orchestra member Karen Peck.

The group played many times throughout the year inlcuding, music for the showing of Lil Abner, school concerts, All City, and the Beatrice Musical Festival.

"My attempt is to give serious music students exposure to excellent orchestrial literature," stated esteemed director Jim Schulz.

Debate requires work, dedication

Being on debate team required a lot of time and dedication, bu t members agree that the experience they gained was well-wort h the effort. To begin their training, debators attended a camp at Kansas University, where they worked with college debators an : coaches.

"Camp helped us get a head 'start on the year," commente c debator Phil Seng.

Throughout the year, debators spent many hours doing research on their topics and practicing for competitions. Tournaments were held each weekend at various locations, includin £ Des Moines, Sioux Falls, and Chicago.

"It was fun to travel since we had the opportunity to meet sc many new people," stated Robby Shortridge.

Although several of the members are seniors, the debat E team has high expectations for the 88-89 school year. Tw c prospective debaters are juniors Paul Souders and Natha r Lane. Members feel Mr. Leever, the team's sponsor mad € debating a worthwhile experience.

The speech team also worked hard to account for a successfu 1 year. Members wrote their own pieces and dedicated man y hours to practicing them.

They traveled with the debate team to competitions wher e they presented their speeches. At tournaments, contestant s competed against several opponents. There were two or thre e rounds in each event, with the top six entries competing in a fina l round.

STUCO enjoys one of best years

1987-88 marks one of the most successful years ever for Student Council. Jim Perry, in his first year of sponsoring Student Council, did an excellent job planning and carrying out activities, as well as helping increase enrollment. In fact, enrollment doubled, rising from 21 to 43 members.

"I'm really happy we gained so much support from the student body. Mr. Perry has done a super job in his first year," stated Student Council President Amy Jordan.

High enrollment enabled Student Council to take part in a number of activities. Members sponsored a toy drive, in which 1,500 toys were given to children of low income families. Other activities included two road trips, a suggestion box, the blood drive, and the lowering of soft drink prices. Homecoming and the 1988 Prom a re a few more activities Student Council sponsored. Some of the activities planned for the future are a student lounge, assemblies on suicide and human sexuality and a carnival day planned for the last few days of school.

"Student council is on the rise. We have new people and new ideas. However we need more sophomores!," expressed sponsor Jim Perry.

New Spirit Club starts with 117

Northeast began the 1987-88 school year with great spirit. Northeast revived the pep club which is now known as the Spirit Club. Norma Bardsley the school nurse sponsored the club. Over 117 girls signed up at the begining of the year, and that number dwindled to about 40 or 50 in the spingtime.

Mrs. Bardsley uses a point system for the girls participation and a minimum number of points have to be earned to become a cheerleader. Next year Mrs. Bardsley is pleased that it is a requirement to be in Spirit Club to be a cheerleader.

"Spirit Club is fun, interesting and you find out how exciting cheering for the athletes really is." commented Mori Atobatele.

TheSpirit Club consisted of mainly juniors and sophomores and which 12 are cabinet members. The main goal of the group was to cheer on the athletics and the athletes.

The Spirit Club has sponsored road trips to and from many out of town games. They also ended the football season with spirit week so that the students, as well as the faculty, would get involved.

After all the hard work the Sptrit Club put forth, the group awarded themselves with a pizza party.

"I am happy with the way the year has gone and hopes for an even higher enrollment next year," stated sponsor Norma Bardsley.

Unique FFA group thrives at LNE

Although many Northeast students are unfamiliar with agriculture, joining FFA( Future Farmers of America) can be an exciting experience.

Member Pam Patterson commented, "You have to like what you are doing and if you do, it can be a lot of fun".

A member of FFA has the opportunity to develop leadership skills and confidence, as well as learn about agriculture-related careers. The group's main goal is to help serve the surrounding community.

This year, members were active in a variety of activities. Perhaps the most memorable was a trip to the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, where 25,000 students from across the nation met. Speakers at this convention included George Bush , Robert Dole, and Lee lacocca. In addition, members took part in several competitions, ranging from livestock judging to speech contests.

"FFA is very relaxed until competition comes near It's a lot of working together, since you must do your best in orderforyourteamtowin," stated Pam Patterson.

Funds for these activities are made possible by selling fruit boxes door to door.

Randy Connet sponsored FFA this year.

"Mr. Con not is good at getting kids involved in the group and continues to encourage them after joining," replied Becky Winkelman.

International Club Interest continues

For the 17 members of the Northeast International Club, the school year was full of fundraising activities which allowed the group to participate in fun-filled functions. Selling candy at games and the ever popular nacho sales after school translated into money, which resulted into club dinners.

President Jacqui Catt said the small membership helped make the club a special type of activity,

"You make good friendships and it's an easy learning atmosphere. It's also a way to see the world and have fun doing it."

The club sponsored by Spanish teacher Shirley Rine, did experience some ups ·and downs. One of the hardest task was trying to keep a full regiment of officiers, since some graduated at mid term and others found their time limited.

The clubs membership, was still larger then the year before which indicated an interest in the group.

Northeastern Informs

Serving as a newsletter to students, the Northeastern once again tried to inform the student body of what had gone on around the school (in case they were sleeping). The ten member staff managed to improve with every issue by always getting to the heart of the story.

The reporters were often overloaded with the number of stories they had to write for each issue. Some of the stories that were put into the newspaper include Journey to Freedom by Phuong Le about his trek from Vietnam to America, the decision to open the door to competitive wrestling for girls by Amy Hoffmeyer about the NSAA'S decision to allow girls to tryout for the wrestling team attheir high school and Future Northeast buliding projects Include gymnasium, media center by Marta Slechta about completing a 1990-92 project of installing a new gym and media center.

Music major part of senior's present, future

Suzanne Noe, a senior, has been involved in swing choir for two years and is enrolled in her fourth year of French this year. Suzy hopes to visit France after she has learned a little more about it. Suzy spends most of her time listening to Mozart, reading, and playing her bass quitar.

Out of school Suzy spends her time in her band, The Private Kangaroo, they got together in her sophomore year. At first they did cover songs and then they went on to create their own music. Suzy's first musical show was at her sister's wedding reception last year and they are currently on a local tape with other bands.

"I always wanted to make my own music, and I was

ecstatic when I learned that we were going to be on tape, because most of the other bands were college bands and 3/4 of mine were still in high school ," commented Suzy.

Suzy would really like to have a career in music but it is so competitive these days that she need something to fall back on if her band isn't very successful.

Much of Suzy's time is spent at her job at American Love Affair T-shirt store where she works on weekends and during the weekdays it is spent on homework.

"Hopefully after high school I will spend more time with the band and working on the music," commented Suzy.

Working with poor leaves Merritt appreciative

Jazz and black gospel music facinate senior Brian Merritt. Brian also enjoys shopping at thrift stores, making people laugh, reading Dr. Seuss books and some of the classics. He is also involved in Drama here at Northeast.

"I think one of the highlights of my life was my trip to Hong Kong and the Phillipines," commented Brian.

Brian went to Hong Kong and the Phillipines for a summer working in children's programs, sharing in the churches and working with the refugee boat people in the Harbour of Hong Kong.

"I was ashamed that we wasted and take for granted the abundance we have when they value highly the very little that they have," statec Brian.

The people of Hong Kong would talk to Brian and his group for houn discussing all about America and it's people.

"The people of Hong Kong loved Americans and they thought we wen all rich."

Brian's trip to the Phillipines was "bumpy". He also traveled on a boa similiar to the Titanic which killed thousands in the early 1920's.

Brian's future plans include going on a mission and moving out of thi country someday.

"I would like to go to Hong Kong because it's a hip hoppin place."

"I got the hat in Hong Kong. I call it 'Dude look like a lady'."

Ogden Spends Spare Time in Numerous Sports

For so many adolescents, hi~h school means "change". Junior Julie Ogden is one of those students that being in high school has changed.

"I have learned to handle responsibilities better, become more open with my friends and have learned to manage my time," commented Julie.

Time. Wouldn't it be nice if there were more then 24 hours in one day so you could have the time to do the things you wanted to do.

"What spare time," responded Julie Ogden.

Sometimes Julie wishes there were more hours in a day. In the little time she does have to herself she likes to sew, cook or go out with her friends.

Much of Julie's time is spent in sports. Julie participated in volleyball at Mickle and now is on the team here at Northeast.

She has played volleyball ever since she was in seventh grade. "My gym teacher Mrs. Motz said that I should try out for the volleyball team and that is how I got started playing," expressed Julie.

She really didn't like playing volleyball at first but the more she played the sport the more fun it got.

"Volleyball built up my self confidence and I liked the respect I got from my teammates," Julie said.

Julie is also involved in basketball here at Northeast.

"My dad inspired me to play basketball," stated Julie.

Her future plans include having a small family and a successful career in engineering.

"I hope to attend UNL and then go someplace warm like Florida, Arizona or California."

Softball, JA, guitar provide Vidlak with variety

Collecting stamps, coins, and baseball cards are one of the many things that junior Wendy Vidlak enjoys. Wendy also enjoys many athletic activities.

One of her favorite sports is tennis. Wendy has participated in tennis since ninth grade. She was on the reserve team her sophomore year and hopes to make the varsity tennis team this year

"Tennis sounded like fun, plus it was the only spring sport I really enjoyed," stated Wendy.

Wendy is also active in softball. When she plays softball she usually pitches Wendy thinks there are only two important aspects in pitching: to stay calm and relaxed.

"Softball is not a tough sport you just need decent skills to play," commented Wendy.

Wendy also participates in JA where she is the assistant to the vice president of marketing. She is currently in PS Square company, where she has been for the last two years. Her JA company is sponsored by Dorsey

"JA is a good experience and it's a fun business that teenagers get to control ," Wendy responded.

Music is another interest that fascinates Wendy. She has taken piano lessons for the past five years and is currently taking guitar lessons. Wendy took up the guitar after a knee injury in ninth grade while playing tennis. It was something to pass the time away until her knee healed.

"I can put anything into the guitar and it comes out sounding good," stated Wendy .

Life-long dream Becomes reality

Music plays a large part in Lonna's life in and out of school. She plays the flute in band as well as in her spare time. She also draws some of her favorite stars including the faces of Bon Jovi, members of Motely Crew, Bruce Dickenson, Iron Maiden, and Ozzy Osbourne.

At Mickle, Lonna had many honorable mentions for her drawings. Some of the pictures she drew were displayed at PSAB. Shewentontodrawapictureofthe House of Falcon Crest which was displayed at the College of Saint Mary in Omaha. Of course, there was no stopping Lonna now.

She set goals.

"I used to dream of someday drawing a picture and having some magazine publish it," Lonna said.

Lonna achieved this goal. The magazine Teenbeat held a contest for young artists, so Lonna thought she would give it a try. She entered the contest hoping there might be a chance she would win. Her facial portrait of John Stamos won and it was published in the February issue of this year.

"I really never thought that I had a chance to win out of all the teens I thought would be entering."

Some of Lonna's dreams include becoming famous in whatever she does. She hopes someday to be an artist or a fashion designer.

Jeff Gaston, Matt Kortum, and Chadd Bliss find it very hard to look macho.

Brother spurs Karate interest

Tom Fitzgerald, a sophomore, is involved in both track and wrest Ii ng at Northeast. His prominent hobbies include camping, horseback riding, and of course, partying. Tom feels very aligned with the 60's generation, and this is reflected in his musical preferences, which consist of mainly oldies music and some new rock.

Fitzgerald says that his brother got him interested in martial arts. "My brother used to practice his martial arts around the house and it looked fun, so I gave ita shot.''

One of the first classes he enrolled in was Tae Kwon Do, a martial art which originated in Korea thousands of years ago. In this, Tom has earned a black belt.

Martial arts have, Fitzgerald conveyed, three important beneficial aspects to remember: flexibility, conditioning, and discipline.

Tom is currently taking Okwanawan karate, another style of martial arts which deals with weapons. In that art he hopes to earn a black belt.

Of course, martial arts wouldn't be quite the same without competition. Tom has won two first place and two second place awards. The tournaments consist of 2001100 competitors, and the students were put into divisions consisting of both belt and age catagories.

"I have traveled to Hastings, Grand ·Island, and Omaha for most of the tournaments." Fitzgerald stated.

Fitzgerald hopes to someday travel throughout Europe and hopes to get out of Northeast. Tom is certain he either wants to attend business school, or a special school and study to be a chef.

"I would like to open my own French restaurant someday."

Season ends On high note For gridders vr

By Teresa Larson ROCKET Sports Staff

Northeast's varsity football team had a bumpy-road type season. ·

After opening the season with a 21-12 win over Hastings, the Rockets lost three straight games. All of the losses were by close margins.

"The close games were heartbreakers for us," commented junior lineman David Noonan.

The matchup between Northeast and Lincoln High has always carried a competitive edge, but this season's game seemed even more so than the past.

Northeast held a 15-7 lead over the Links with about 6 minutes left in the game, but a fumble led to a Links' touchdown for the tie, then Lincooln High won the game in overtime, 18-15.

In their next two games, Northeast was blown out of the tub. Grand Island claimed a 35-0 win, then Northeast suffered its worst defeat in 16 years when it lost to Southeast, 41-0.

The Rockets were at their lowest point of the season following the Southeast game, but the squad regrouped.

"The players stayed together through the whole season,• Noonan said, "even after disap~ pointments and hard losses.•

The Rockets rebounded with a _ 9-7 win over Lincoln East, but then dropped another heartbreaker, losing 31-28 in triple overtime to Norfolk.

Northeast, coached for the second straight season by Bruce Reed, then closed out the campaign by defeating Ralston, 39-7. The Rockets finished with a S..S record.

'Sophs and J.V.'s Have Succes·stul Season

by Teresa Larson Rocket Sportswriter

The Rocket Reserve Football team ended the season with a 6-2 record.

The J. V.'s started out with 3 consecutive wins. They went into overtime againest LHS and pulled out a 13-12 win Againest East they won 8-0 mainly due to their defense. "Defense is definately our strong point," Junior Jon Pearl said. "We all help each other, so we have very few mistakes." ·

Their fourth game could have won them a city championship but th~y were shut-out 0-20 by Southeast. The loss was mainly due to turn-overs.injuries to team, and a bigger defensive line by SE.

Despite the loss againest SE, the Reserves went on to beat LHS again, Bellevue East and Beatrice.

For the Soph football team like the Reserves, defense played a major part in their victories. Soph. Jason Pflughaupt says "Our defense has been the key to our success all season."

On their first game they beat Papillion 34-14. They foflowed with wins over SE, LHS and the Norris Reserves.

The Soph 's then whipped the Waverly J.V.'s 42-6. This was the 3rd straight year the NE Soph's have defeated them. Jt was a game of many fumbles for Waverly, and many recoveries for NE. (6 recovered out of 1O fumbled.)

But their chance for a perfect season was taken away by a 026 loss to East. It was a hard loss to accept, but the players are looking forward to next year. "We don't like to lose. No one does. Therefore, as a team, we will all work harder, pushing ourselves to do our best next year." says Soph Eric Schneide~

Differences in

By Lance Fryrear

1988 Rocket Sports Staff

Although the Rockets made the finals of the state tourney this ·year, Northeast failed t~ pass the first round in the previous two years. Members of the team who played both this year and in years past expressed their feelings about the many differences the seasons held.

Senior Stacey Engelbart, who played for the Rockets for three years, felt that this year the team had a higher level of concentration. "We entered the state tournament with a high intensity level." said Engelbart, "Our last game of the season was close. We won districts by beating East. Since we were on a winning streak we thought we might as well go all the way."

Senior Kim Grosshans, also a three year member, felt that districts was the key to the teams success this year.

Grosshans said, "last year we played Columbus, who we hadn't played before. This year we knew more about the teams. Districts had a lot to do with our attitude for state since we beat East."

One aspect of the season that the team couldn't control! was very different. The parents. Three year member Senior Andee Walek expressed her feelings on the subject.

"The parents helped Qut a lot. They made signs and got shirts." said Walek, "They were always at our games. The season wouldn't have been the same wittfout them."

Engelbart agreed that the teams parents were very supportive. Engelbart sajd, "There was a huge amount of support from the parents. They were really intense. During state some were w~aring black headbands made out of streamers and had numbers painted on their face."

Winning Year

The reserve and sophomore volleyball teams both posted winning recordsthisyear. The sophomores improved greatly, betterjng last years 3-9 finish by 5 wins with an 8-7 record. The reserves did even better. This year they finished with a strong 10-5 record, topping last year's losing 6-8 season by a large margin.

The highlight of the reserves ' · year was finishing second in the LPS Tournament. Coach Brenda Ward commented on the tourney. Ward said, "We went in with the best record. We were the top seed. It was sort of our reward for having such a good record. We lost to East in the finals. We had played them twice before and split. I knew it would be close. We won the first set and lost the next two."

The Rockets lost to East 15-5, 0-15, and 6-15. Ward commented on the margin of defeat in the second set. Ward said, "We were going good in the first set, but lost' the second one badly. It took the steam out of us for the third set."

The Rocket reserves beat all the Lincoln teams twice except for East. The only Rocket losses in · the year came to Bellevue East, Norris , Southeast and two to East.

Ward felt this year's team did so well because of their improved game "smarts". "This y ear's te~rii \,. was strong in the knowledge of the game", said Ward. "We were able to run more compie£ offenses and def ens es. We were also able to run a much larger number of plays than normal."

Boys Tennis (5-4)

Netters End With 5 Straight Wins

By Dorothy Groothuis 1988 ROCKET Sports Editor

The Northeast Netters started out their season like every other year, with four straight losses including a shutout to Lincoln Southeast. This may have caused most teams to give up, but the Rockets didn't let it get them down. "Our schedule was set so we had to play all the powerhouses starting out; Fremont, East, and Southeast," Coach Jim Rathe commented. He used this to lift up the team's spirits along with setting up some long range goals, one of which was to have a winning season.

The pep talks paid off, allowing the Netters to reach that goal and end the season with a dual record of 5-4. The Rockets then went on to state and were again successful taking twelfth out of twenty-three teams. "Everyone played up to their capabilities. We really fielded a competitive team." said Rathe.

"Everyone played up to their capabilities. We really fielded a competitive team."

for them than just competitiveness, however. An important factor in their success was the enjoyment of tennis they all shared.

Three more winning factors were returning letterers Josh Trambly, Lance Fryrear, and Alan Hald. "The experience of these three along with the general athletic ability, and great parent support really made a difference," said Rathe. A difference that separated them from all the team's since 1982.

Netters No. 1 For Weidman

By Dorothy Groothuls 1988 ROCKET Sports Editor

To many Northeast students, the name R.T. Weidman is unfamiliar.

But to the few reserve tennis players , it is a name associated with dedication. Eleven years of dedication through volunteer coaching of boys· and girls tennis.

We idman became interested in tennis when he was in the sixth grade and his father sent away for a tenn is racket.

Weidman and a friend spent hours on the court since, as Weidman puts it "there wasn't anything else to do in the summer."

He pursued his tennis interest by playing for the University of Nebraska.

His interest in coaching came later , however. Weidman's daughter, Wendy, was a tenri i!3 player at Northeast High Schoof. where she was named a high school All-American. During her high school career, Weidman saw the need for additional coaching help, so he volunteered his time

,He has continued to volunteer ever since, because he enjoys working with kids. Weidman said it pleases him to see how much each of his players improve from daily practices.

The practice paid off for Weidman and his players, as they captured the city reserve title.

Northeast may not be the dominant team in the city in tennis, but the Rockets are the dominant team in Weidn:tan's heart

"I enjoy the Northeast kids, and I'll keep on coaching them as long as they keep asking me back," he said. ·

Miles Add up for Senior Runner Dave Attenberger

Althogh senior Dave Attenberger has only been running cross country for two years he was one of Northeast's best ever. After retiring from a career of tenth grade football he decided to go out for cross country. Cross country was a good choice becuase he had run track during junior high. "I always liked running in the three kilometer and five kilometer runs held all over the city. I saw cross country as a way to turn my good endurance into an chance to run well for my school." said Attenberger.

Attenberger ran over three hundred mi les to stay in shape for the season. Running on a regular basis helps Attenberger in other sports such as basketball. "Running has built up my endurance, it not only helps me in basketball, but also in track.", said Attenberger.

Competiton this year was fierce. Only two runners off of both the girls team and boys teams finished in the top ten at districts. Dave And Amy Attenberger were the top two runners. Dave finished tenth, not high enough to qualify him for state. His sister Amy was the only Rocket to make state. She finished sixth at districts. Dave said, "I was surprised that I even finished tenth. Although I didn't get to state I was happy to see that all of my hard work did mean something."

As for plans for college running Attenberger remains undecided. Attenberger said, "I have to decided if I want to give up a lot of my precious spare time in college. The competition will undoubtably be much greater than at the high school level."

For the second consecutive year Northeast's boys basketball team was o~ top of the ratings at a time when few observers expected the squad to be there

Josh Trambly and T.J. Ochsner returned with the most experience, but the Rockets played like a seasoned team under second-year head coach Rick Collura.

Northeast, led by Lesoing and Ochsner , also showed a lot of ability to hit the three-point shot, which was introduced to Nebraska high school basketball for the first time.

Despite being behind in the third period, Northeast rallied and beat Columbus, 69-67, in front of a sellout crowd at Ed Johnson Gym. The Discoverers were toprated before the loss.

Two games later, the Rockets were able to avenge last season's state title loss to Norfolk by defeating the Panthers 77-73, in overtime, on the road.

"It was a tough game," Rank commented "It was tough to beat them on the road, especially with all of the crowd noise "

The three-point shot was never more important than in the Rockets' final game against Millard South, ranked No. 1 by the Omaha World-Herald.

With only seconds left in regulation, Lesoing hit a three-pointer to send the game into overtime The momentum of the shot carried over and Northeast won the game, 54-52.

Trambly Completes Super Season

By Teresa Larson 1988 ROCKET Sports Staff

Sports have played a major part in Josh Trarnbly's life. Throughout his high school years, he has been involved in baseball, football, tennis and basketball.

"I don't play baseball or football any more," the senior said. "But I want to continue playing basketball and tennis in college. It all depends on where I go."

The 1987-88 basketball season was satisfying and fulfilling for Trarnbly. He was named to the first team All-City and AllState basketball teams, and was on the second team of the Super State squad.

"I felt really good about how I performed, and I had a lot of fun along the way," Trarnbly said.

Trarnbly started playing basketball at the age of 7.

"I lived right across the street from a court so friends and I would go over and shoot baskets when we didn't have anything else to do," Trarnbly said.

This season marked Trarnbly's third straight trip to the state tournament. The Rockets advanced to the second round in his sophomore year before losing to Omaha Northwest, then fell to Norfolk in the 1987 Class 'A championship game. This season, Trarnbly's Northeast career ended with a first-round loss to Omaha Benson.

The state tourney experiences left Trarnbly with a variety of emotional feelings.

"It was a big disappointment, corning so close all three years and still not winning state," Trarnbly said. But, it was a big accomplishment and I'm proud of what we achieved." ·

When people ask what do cheerleaders do? It's an honor to say support a team like you.

It's easy to see we're two different "teams" , Two groups of people with all the same dreams.

In the beginning we hoped to win our first game, Weekend after weedend we wanted the same.

That's how we felt all season through , and then what do you guys decide you should do?

You give us the honor of going to state. We may not have took it, but we sure played great.

Although dreams were dampered and goals set aside, a team like yours is worth every tear cried.

Rocket Cagers Fail To Fire

By Dorothy Groothuis 1988

The Lincoln Northeast boy's basketball team started their journey to state on leap year day. The Rockets entered districts as the top ranked team with a near perfect 17-1 record, flawed only by a 5057 loss to Lincoln High, which was later avenged

The first match-up in districts for Collura's cagers was to 8-12 Lincoln Southeast. After nearly three quarters of domination by Northeast, the Knights came back to take a brief lead Southeast continued to fight , but the Rockets ended up on top 46-42, clinching the victory with a layup by junior Aaron Griess with 15 seconds left in the game.

The Rockets next challenge was against long time rival No 5 Lincoln High in the district finals. The game seesawed between the two Lincoln schools, leaving no more than a 6 point spread throughout the game. Northeast led 46, 45 in the final seconds when a foul by Rodney Bradley gave Lincoln High's Eric Priebe two free throws. Priebe sunk both shots to allow the Links to win 47-46 over Northeast.

The road to state didn't end at districts , however Due to a wild card berth the Rockets were allowed to enter state as the No. 3 seed, playing their first game against sixth seed Omaha Benson, whom they had beat 53-51 in an earlier game. Senior Josh Trambly comments on this victory "We didn't play very good against them , but we still beat them. We figured if we could play normal at state we could beat them again "

The Rockets started out strong against the Bunnies. "We started off great, but then we let down. We let them get back in it ," commented Trambly.

The Rockets let down long enough for Benson to get a seven point advantage over the Rockets in the third quarter The tables turned and the Rockets rallied to take a 48-46 lead. Shots were scored by both teams until a 3 point play by Senior Dan Lesoing tied the game at · 54-54 with 12 seconds to go. Seven seconds later the Bunnies hit a free

throw to win the game 5554 , and e nd

Basketball just right for Bouwens

By Lance Fryrear 1988 ROCKET sports staff

Tammy Bouwens played varsity basketball for the Lincoln Northeast Rockets in her junior and senior years. Bouwens is proud of her acomplishments.

Her elementary grade basketball team foreshadowed things to come. Her team was called the Rockets However, Bouwens didn't start playing on acompetitve level until! she reached the ninth grade at Mickel.

"It's a lot · different in highschool. It's more competitive. In highschool you want to w in " _said Bouwens, "Junior High is more fun and games It's a good experience though."

Bouwens plays both center and forward,posistions under the hoop. Some would think that she went out for basketball becuase of her unusual height, unusually tall that is Bouwens expla ined, "I don't think I went out because of my he ight. I think that my brothers and family influenced me to play more than anything." said Bouwens.

Bouwens played reserve volleyball in her sopomore year but gave it up for basketball. She felt that basketball came easier for her. "In volleyball you have to work more. At least I did. I didn't know the game that well Basketball just seemed to come naturally to me. " said Bouwens.

The one thing that made basketball worth while for Bouwens was her interaction with other people. Bouwens said, "I got to meet different people and be a part of a team. I got to know the coaches real well, and became friends with the younger girls on the team.".

Although Bouwens didn't get to state in her junior year, or her final year as a Rocket she still contributed to the team. Bouwens described what it was like her junior year. "My junior year was a good experience even though I didn't play much. It helped being around an older team. I learned every game." said Bouwens

88' Girls post average mark

By Lance Fryrear 1988

The reserve and sophomore girls basketball teams posted fairly dissapointing seasons this year. The reserve team ended up 6-10, but the sophomores only managed to attain one victory and finished with a 1-8 record.

The reserve season started off slowly. After their first five contests they were just 1-4. Northeast battled back and were on the verge of breaking the .500 mark when they were narrowly defeated by Grand Island.

The rest of the season had it's highs and lows but freethrows cost the Rockets down the stretch as they lost three games by a very slim margin.

Sophomore Lisa Ahlman expressed her feelings on the teams improvements. Ahlman said, "We improved the most on freethrows. We lost some games by just a few points early in the seaon and that really hurt us."

Junior Julie Ogden, who played for the reserves last year also, felt their were differences between the two teams. "This year we got along as a team and played as a team." said Ogden, "Last year we didn't get along. This year it was fun."

The sophomores got their only win of the season over Lincoln High 39-38. The Rockets were on the verge of their second victory; leading the Links by 7 at halftime. Northeast only scored three points in the second half and lost 19-24.

Lori Holy, sophomore, expressed her feelings about the teams problems. Holy said, "We were good at the beginning of the year in practice. We were supposed to be one of the best teams Northeast had ever had at the sophomore level. However, when it came around to game time I think we just forgot what we had learned".

Interest and Hard Work Pay Off for NE Swimmers

By Dorothy Groothuls 1988 ROCKET Sports Editor

Due to the lack of interest in past years, Northeast is not the first school that comes to mind in the area of swimming. This year proved to be a new beginning for the Rockets, however, starting out with a team of more than 50 people, including many from last year.

Junior Karen Stelzer was proud of this years turnout. "We were able to show others that Northeast swimming is a program that is really improving and showing much potential for the future," said Stelzer.

The dual record alone is proof of this potential. The girls improved their 2-7 record from last year to 3-6 and the boys went from a 4-1 0 record to a winning 7-2. For senior Jody Hansen the winning record was the best part of the season: "It was 9t:eat beating all those teams, ex~pt for East and Southeast," said Hansen. East and Southeast were the only teams to def eat the Rocket boys, outscoring them 113-59 and 98-70 respectively.

For Stolzerthe highlight of the season included more than winning. "I enjoyed seeing members of the team not just winning, but breaking school records,"said Stalzer. "It ,·ust proves that the hard work ear Y. in the season was really worth it."

The hard work payed off for many of the swimmers, includin~ the 15 who were able to participate in state, 4of whom placect in the top 8. Top performances at state included a third place finish in the 100 backstroke and a fifth place in the 200 freestyle by sophomore Jenny Baus, a sixth in the 500 freestyle by freshman Abra Holtzer, an eighth in the 100 breaststroke bV Senior Diann Carr, a seventh in the 200 freestyle and a fifth in the 100 backstroke by Jody Hansen.

The boys finished tenth out of 18 teams at state and the girls finished seventh out of 21.

Wrestling

Wrestlers Inexperienced

By Dave Attenberger

1988 Rocket Sports Staff

John McIntyre, head coach of the N.E. varsity wrestling team, summed everything up when he stated, "We had nothing to lose."

Northeast started the season with only three returning letter winners and a host of inexperienced wrestlers. The team knew early on that overall results were not important. Throughout the year N.E. did not fare well against other teams but progress was being made. McIntyre knew the wrestlers were becoming frustrated with all of the defeats "I told the kids not to get let down. We had the talent to compete and I said that soon we would have our chance." Districts was the chance and Northeast took advantage. In the first round there were seven pins and Northeast scored almost a maximum number of points. They finished fourth overall with an impressive showing Seven members qualified for state. "With so many qualifying, we were hoping for a few outstanding performances in state," commented McIntyre.

-John McIntyre

Unfortunately, ~tate was not a success. Marcus Neal had the highest individual finish, sixth in the 189 lb. class. Overall, Northeast finished 27th out of 29 teams in state.

Despite a poor showing in state, expectations remain high for next year. Only Neal is graduating from the list of state qualifiers and next years team starts with a wealth of experience.

Neal Impressive

By Dave Attenberger 1988 Rocket Sports Staff

Marcus Neal has come a long way. He has gone from an inexperienced sophomore wrestler with unorthodox moves to a state qualifier in his senior year, compiling an impressive 19-2 record. Marcus developed an interest in wrestling after watching his cousins dominate on the collegiate level. He decided to go out for wrestling during his sophomore year. He knew he could compete well but it would take a while. Coach McIntyre commented on his lack of experience. "His first year was a learning experience for what he could learn to do and what he couldn't do." One move Marcus was not allowed to use was the "whirly bird." He was disqualified several times because he would lift people above his body and then turn in circles. He finished off the move by dropping his opponent to the ground The first season struggle was very frustrating to Marcus but he never gave up "It was something the desire to get better and achieve what I know I can achieve." During the next two summers Marcus competed in several wrestling events including a free style greco-wrestling league. "Each and every event I competed in during the off-season made me a better wrestler."

His final year was definitely a success despite a couple of shoulder injuries that barely slowed Marcus'domination in the 189 pound class. He finished off the year by placing 6th in the state competition. He was somewhat disappointed in the result. "I wanted to take state but it was a frightening experience. I know I could have placed better."

The 1988 ROCKET used the theme "A Year in the Making" as 900 copies of the 47th edition of the yearbook was publis hed.

The pages were printed on 80 lb. enamel paper by Walsworth Publishing Co. in Marceline, Missouri. Lincoln Northeast was represented by Mike Diffenderfer.

The books were sold for $20 at all sales periods. A 16-page fall supplement was added to the 176-page book.

The couer was designed by Bobbie Perry and placed on a Platina Gold couer with black applied print.

The size of the print uaried throughout the book. Nine or 1 O point heluetica was used for the body copy, while nine point heluetica was used for captions. Names of the students were bold-faced in the captions. Senior summaries were set in 1 O point heluetica with 1-point leading. The copy width uaried between 1 O and 12 picas throughout the book.

All of the copy, headlines, and captions were set in the Northeast High School MERGER lab, on Macintosh Plus and Macintosh SE computers. The copy was printed by the Apple Laserwriter, also located in the MERGER lab. The ROCKET was once again a school-pasteup book.

The Northeast ROCKET was published by the yearbook staff for the 1 987-88 school year. The yearbook and newspaper staffs are members of the Nebraska High School Press Association.

Photo credits go to Richard Euans of Euans Studio for the team group photos, and to National School Studios for the underclass and some faculty photos. All other pictures were taken by ROCK ET staff photographers.

The photo will be temporarily placed in the Bun Galloway memorial trophy case , and may poss ibly be moved upon completion of Northeast's 155/Looking Back new gymnasium facility in 1992.

P·erso,nal Profile.

A yearbook staff spends a great deal of time trying to figure out what students will want to remember about the school year 20 years from now. Soon after the year is over, memories still linger. Remembering is not a problem. But as the years go by, and friends drift apart, it becomes difficult to recall some of those embarrassing moments, or some of those most memorable times.

In an attempt to give you a personal memory page, the 1988 ROCKET staff has devised this profil f the school year. Simply fill in the blanks, add whatever you want, and 20 years from now you'll have quick reminder at your Northeast High reunion.
