Lincoln Northeast High School 1990 Yearbook

1990 ROC~E1

7he 89-90 school year has had it's share of ups and downs. On the down side, class oriented school chants were banned. This greatly limited the abllity of students to participate and reduced enthusiam at rallies. On the up side varsity cheer leaders Wendy Williams and Nicole Stevens addressed the student council about lack of spirit. .

Due to combined effort spirit seemed to improve. Throughout the year a gang of spirited students led by Student Council President Rick Carter showed a unique and enthusiastic form of spirit, exemplified when they removed their shirts in 20 degree weather until the football team scored a touchdown.

Being a varsity cheerleader meant leading cheers at games an9 at pep rallies, including this special cheer for the varsity football team.

During the / 989- / 990 school year, many students enjoyed a variety of extra-curricular activities.

Some liked to play basketball, go shopping, or sleep. But senior Jamie Brown likes to "run and mix and scratch on two turntables " Others you may see hanging out on the south side of school playing hackey sack before and after school. Some students enjoyed spending their weekends cheering on their favorite pro, college,, or high school sports teams. ·

Faculty, as well as students, Ii ke to take a breather after a ful I day of classes. Some Just like to go home and relax by reading the newspaper and watching T. V Others, like Hqnk Willemsen, enjoy reading, attending sporting event s and traveling.

car (kar)noun- any vehicle on wheels . Virtually every student either has one or wants one. They come in any size, shape, or color you so desire. They require major time, energy, and mega-bucks. You may be as fortunate to have your parents buy one for you or you might have to save up and purchase the costly item yourself.

The point is, that whether you have a "cool" car, a "hot rod', or a "beat-up Junker", cars have become a symbol of value for Northeast students. for many, that symbol becomes$. It takes a lot of money to maintain a car and keep it running, especially if the owner determines the car needs to look the best.

"Having a car is the point in your life where you can start on your own and be responsible for yoursel(" Junior Jasmine Fryrear said. "It also helps you get from one place to another."

J,Cars

Senior BIii Mericle takes the time to pose for a picture while cruising around the school in his classic car.

JuniorJasmine fryrear's car not only looks good cruisin' "O", but it looks sharp in the park.

Mike f<.nezovlcn and Chad Bliss show the same taste in cars, but different sty/es.

Senior Dustin Cleveland shows how good care and maintenance pays off on his "Super Bee".

Hell On Wheels

Cars are not the only automobile that can look classy, as verified byMike Beetem's truck.

A Northeast graduate still finds it fun to cruise around at Northeast to show off his 1988 Trans-Am.

This Northeast student takes time out to shop for the perfect car.

"Not rnany people have a nice truck. I try rny hardest to keep it maintained and looking nice."

-Junior Mike Beetern

t'sEveryone's question this year is what's new and where can I get it? Well, the answer to that question can be found right here All the right looks were found at where else, the mall . The leather look is still in this year. At the mall students all over are wearing leather Jackets, skirts and boots Also hot this year for girls, are tailored vests, the "upcoming" of skirts and soft, cuddly sweaters All the studs this year seem to be wearing British Knights footwear. Sweats this year seem to be really "cut off" but also very popular with the male population .

As for where to be this year, 'cruzin O street' is still popular . Everyone seems to be hangin' tough at McDonalds, East Park, football games, friend's houses, Taco Inn and Amigos. Cool sounds this year are New Kids on the Block, Prince, Richard Marx, Bad English, Rolling Stones, Young M. C , Milli Vanilli, Paula Abdul, Great White, and Led Zeppelin. If we haven't mentioned your favorite yet there is a never ending list.

It's Friday night and you're all set for a jammin' weekend Just one thing stands in the way . Money or the lack of it.

7 oday 1~ens are faced with many expenses during their high school years. 7hose expenses range fron small items such as school supplies or a movie, to a class rif}g and a car. 7o afford those prices the majo ~ity of Northeast students have Jobs after school and on the weekends.

Whatever the source of a student's money, one thing is for sure, with today's increasing prices the money won't last long, but i1 sure is fun to spend it.

Tae Kwondo. Many people have heard ofTae Kwondo, but not many know what it is all about. Junior Brad Tillberg is qualified to explain, after all, he has been involved in Tae Kwondo since he was 13 years old.

Tillberg describes Tae Kwondo as an art of self-defense, sparing kicks, strikes, stances, and blocks. Participating in a lesson once a

week and working out often at home has helped Tillberg earn a first degree black belt.

Although Tillberg does not attend many tournaments, he learns self -control, respect, and honor, not on ly for himself, but for others as well. When asked if he planned to continue Tae Kwondo after hig h school Tillberg replied, " Yes, I haven't trained this long to quit!"

Sophq,more ballet dancer eyes law caree1

Like all students, sophomore Elizabeth Shaw is very active outside of school. She has been dancing since she was three years old and joined the Ballet Midwest Dance Company when she was 12.

Since she has joined the company, she has danced in such productions as "The Nutcracker", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Babes in Toyland." "The Nutcracker" was her favorite production because it takes place around the holidays.

After auditioning in places like Kansas City and Des Moines, she wa accepted to the Boston Ballet Company, Ballet West (in Aspen, Colo.) and the St. Louis Ballet Company for summer programs.

Although she would like to become a lawyer someday, dancing will always remain in her heart.

------Marching Band-----

Practice starts early For 170 marchers

The 1989-90 marching season was another great success for the 170member Rocket Marching Band. The season was spent doing pregame and half-time shows for the varsity football games, performing in two parades, and competing in three contests.

The school year and days started early for the band as the traditional 7:15 a.m. practices kept alarm clocks buzzing. Morning practices started in early August and continued throughout the football season.

At the last football game of the year , the band gives the audience a show they'll never forget.

The Band Staff helps keep all 170 members in line The 1989-1990 Ba t j Staff is : Bottom row (I. to r.) Mike Hosek, Kim Hanner, Lonna Kell f ' , Suzanne Schmale, Bob Zumpfe , Robin Walker, Jeff Maxwell, Ju a Liesing, and Goeff Michaelson. Middle row (I. to r.) Julia Bahr , La u a Leddy and Jill Bassett. Top row (I to r .) Tony Rezek and Don Mares .

-----Symphonic Band------

The Northeast Symphonic Band is bigger than usual this year Their room is very full when clas ~ starts with warm up scales and chorales

The brass section is a very important part to the sound of the band. Here, t h, baritones and trombones play in harmony .

There are three types of saxophones in the band , alto, tenor and baritone. The alto saxophones assist in playing the melodies while the tenors and baritones help make up the bass line.

Group strives for perfection

Any member for this year's Symphonic band can tell you that perfection counts.

Director Jeff Klintberg doesn't settle for second best which he proves time and time again with the marching band and he feels the exact same way with his Symphonic band During the year the group had two concerts and performed at the Lied Center at the All-City band contest. To prepare for the contest, class periods were used to master their sound and individual sectionals were called to work on specific pieces of music.

The band is made up mostly of juniors and seniors with some sophmores. All members play their best. Nothing less.

Clarinets come in all sizes and shapes as exemplified here by the bass clairnet section.

From left to right: Jenny Dickenson and Kim Hanner take a break while Laura Leddy plays her solo.

Band shows great promise

This year's concert band has some very talented members and director Mr. Klintberg makes sure they perfect those talents.

The band is mostly made up of sophomores and juniors but there are a few seniors in the group. The ensemble has concerts with the other bands in the winter and the spring Many members also took part in the Solo All of the concert band members practice a song to perform at their wi n er and Ensemble Contest in January. ;once rt .

Orchestra

Hollman award highlights Orchestra's full schedule

This year's 34-member Orchestra, directed by Jim Schulz, had an exciting year of performances.

One exceptional highligh was Lance Hellman's entrance into the National High School Honors Orchestra. Only two students from Nebraska were chosen for this prestigous recognition.

The Orchestra's string ensemble entertained for the ninth-grade orientation night as well as the Spring Honors coffee.

The Orchestra's numerous concerts included hosting a concert with Mickle and Dawes Junior High and the final concert featuring senior soloists. The schedule was rounded out when the Orchestra acAII

Band shows professional talent

This year's Jazz Band is a very noticeable group of students. Not only are they easy to spot in their pink T-shirts designed by Julie Liesing or in their snappy tuxedos, but this is one group that catches your attention with their musical abilities.

The entourage of nineteen musicians have performed at various junior high schools in Lincoln, the Bellevue Jazz contest · and had a concert of their own in March.

The group doesn't only perform jazz, but some pop music, too. First year member Jim Jordan says "It's really helped me with reading my music. We work on rhythms all the time."

Julie Liesing displays her happiness with her solo on the vibes.

The girls' shows captivate the audiences because of their diversity in their songs. During the holiday season they did their own versions of holiday tunes with some special accesories and even one part if a song was done by rapping.

The group is made up of juniors and seniors. Says one member, "We're kind of like a family."

Choir-------

1989-90 Swing Choir has always been busy. These are some of the highlights for the group this year. The Christmas Show, Soup Supper, and Jazz Show were just three of the wonderful performances given by them. Swing Choir went to two workshops. They attended a one day workshop at Kansas University and another in Greely , Colorado. "What was really exciting was hearing Jon Hendricks," stated a senior member of the group. A contest attended in Seward, Nebraska also got them an excellent rating Mark Krejci stated that, "We should've gotten a superior! We've come a long way this year. The group has really improved and we make audiences happy. Attitudes are better and the dancing is incredible . Another nice thing was that we did less daily performances. It's less hectic and helped a lot during the holiday season." While the year was even busier for Swing Choir, they all seemed to enjoy practicing their skills and making crowds smile

Choir-----

Choir performances Show pride in ability

This years Concert Choir has a very positive outlook and are ready to jump on any moment they can to sing choral music.

Mr. Nichols says that, "It has been a great group of students. They are very cooperative and work well together. On the Omaha trip I could really trust them and that's hard when they are such a large group."

Another comment, from senior Misty Owens, was that "This year's a lot better than last year because we have more people with the same quality. We've done many fun things, like going to Omaha Bryan and UNO to sing. Even though we didn't win the Choral Competition we had fun practicing. All together the group has pride and they care; that's what counts!"

At the camp they attended last summer, they won ribbons for several events including jumps, spirit, enthusiam, the best home cheer, and two sunshine awards.

But for a couple of cheerleaders, just being on the squad was fun. "The actual cheering at games and being around the other girls is fun, but it is really time consuming," said Nicole Butler. But Tammy Richardson said she liked the other girls and the kidnapping.

Rocket------

Deadlines create pressure for 1990 ROCKET staff

Deadlines. That one word best described the plight of the 1990 ROCKET staff as members worked to publish the 49th yearbook at Northeast High.

The deadline for the book was moved up one week because school was dismissed earlier than past years.

The book had to be finished by March 25 in order for a delivery to students by May 25.

Jasmine Fryrear designed and drew the cover for the '90 ROCKET. The juke box helped draw attention the this year's theme: We Will Rock You Most problems encountered by the

staff revolved around deadlines. Pressure, especially during the month of March, was intense as members scurried to meet the final deadline.

Even with the headaches, hollering, and hanging on to sanity, most members enjoyed the chance to publish another ROCKET.

Debate

Debate team grows with year

This year's debate team competed in both the Lincoln Douglas debate and the Policy debate. This was the first year that Northeast put more time into the the Lincoln Douglas Debate and many found it more enjoyable than the other.

Sean Elliott and Michelle Voeltz won a first place trophy at Omaha Central in the varsity policy debate. Chris Gillam was another debater who brought victory to Northeast. He won a quarterfinal trophy in the Lincoln Douglas debate at Abraham Lincoln high school in Council Bluffs

When asked what they thought about debate as a whole, Jenny Stdebaker replied, "It was great and a lot of fun, and I leaarned a lot about details and the whole world." Jason Perle saw it as, "Very academically challenging."

Jenny Studebaker looks for more information to stump her opponents with.

Jason Pearl thinks about his side of the argument while another speaker is giving his speech.

Chris Gilliam shares his "little" case with the othe r debaters.

Team is always learning

This year's speech team may have been small, but they learned a lot during the year. Talking in front of people may be the number one fear in today's society, but the Speech team was able to overcome that fear with each tournament.

Gridders ride roller coaster to 4-5 record

The 1989 varsity football relied on team unity to help pull itself through a roller coaster season.

Northeast finished 4-5, the school's best football record in four years.

Ending with a losing record was not on players' minds after defeating Bellevue East, 17-14, in the season opener. Senior Eric Schneider rushed for a Class A leading 208 yards.

The Rockets lost their next two games to city foes East and Southeast before rebounding with a 10-6 win over Omaha North.

Two shutout losses followed: 34-0 to Grand Island, and 7-0 to Norfolk. However, the installment of the runand-shoot offense paid off with backto-back wins over Fremont and Hastings.

With a chance at its first winning season in seven years, Coach Bruce Reed's squad faced Lincoln High in the final game of the season. An offense that had sparkled in two previous games never got on track agains1 the Links as the Rockets fell, 14-0.

Quarterback Jason Pflughaupt turns upfield against a swarming Southeast defense. Although the Rockets lost 35-7, they performed well throughout the season and finished with the best Northeast record in four years.

Reserve Football (2-6)

Esquivel kick is highlight of 2-6 season

When a football team finishes with a 2-6 record including four games without a touchdown, it's sometimes difficult to find positive aspects to the season.

That wasn't the case, however, with the 1989 reserve football squad. One glance at the results and it's apparent the highlight of the season was a 10-7 overtime win over then-undefeated Lincoln High.

"At halftime the game was scoreless and that's when we realized we had a

chance," Matt Brown said.

The Rockets won the overtime coin toss, but after two plays gained nothing the call went out for kicker Brian Esquivel.

Esquivel was confident about the attempt, even after the Links called time to let him think about the kick.

"I was a little nervous when they called time out to ice me," Esquivel said. "But, I kept my head down and hit it solid."

Sophs finish 1-6

There were few highlights for the sophomore football team as the squad finished with a 1-6 record.

However, the lone win was a 34-6 blowout against Lincoln East, and it made up for some of the season's disappointments.

"Everything went right for us that game," Todd Hohbein said of the East battle. "We assured ourselves that the team we have and the team we will have is going to dominate East for the next couple of years."

The sophomores' strength was defense. Thier weakness was on offense as the team scored less than 1O points in five of its six losses.

The 1989 Northeast varsity volleyball team attributed most of its success to team unity.

Although the team failed to qualify for the state tournament, Coach Sandi Genrich's squad did win the Northeast Invitational Tournament, finished well in the conference, and was second at the district tournament.

Senior Jody Ernst said some of the

team's biggest disappointments happened because of a lack of mental toughness.

"Our record, compared to that of past Northeast volleyball teams, wa s pretty disappointing," Ernst said, "an so was our loss to East in the district finals."

The Rockets staged a valiant effo r1 in the game, and barely lost to th e eventual state runners-up.

"Our record doesn't project how our season went. We achieved a lot and had fun during the season."

Inexperience can be a big boost for an athletic team's future, but it doesn't help a lot with the present.

The 1989 cross country team found out that inexperience makes it tough to compete in Class A, although the Rockets had their share of medalists during the season.

"Some hard luck kept us from reaching some of our goals," Jeff Graff commented. "We wanted to get a couple of guys in the top ten in city and district."

While the runners fell short of goals, there was no lack of enthusiasm. Graff was one of only three uperclassmen on the team.

"It's a mental struggle the whole race," Graff said. "It's purely individual in that the only person you truly run against is yourself."

Golfers reach goals

This year's girls golf team consisted of seven golfers coached by Kim Wiseman.

Wiseman encouraged the team members to do their best, and hopefully build confidence as the season progressed.

Girls golf entered its second year in 1989 after a long absence as an organized sport at Northeast. The 1988 team was the first organized squad in more than 10 years.

Four of this year's golfers returned from the 1988 squad. Nancy ·Kuhlman, Lori Holy, Danna Ritchey, and Dawn Leishman brought experience to the team.

The squad accomplished two of its goals by not finishing last in every meet and by shooting a team score under 500. While the team had some experience, it was tough competing against other Class A teams.

Varsity Basketball (20-4)

Unity, bench strength key 20-4 hoop season

Northeast's hopes of winning the school's ninth state basketball title and the first since 1-982 fell one game short with a 65-53 loss to Omaha South in the state championship game.

However, Matt Shaw's 73-foot line drive shot as the first quarter buzzer sounded exemplified the type of season that the Rockets had, finishing 20-4 and ranked second in the state by both major newspapers.

The Rockets had many highlights throughout the season which included the state tournament, a district championship, and a regular season 72-68 win over thenNo. 1 Columbus.

"When the final second ticked away, I looked at the crowd as they poured onto the floor and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life," senior Brian Etherton said of the Columbus game.

However, Etherton's wish to beat Lincoln East wasn't granted. After losing 48-45 in a

regular season game, an anticipat E J matchup with the Spartans in the sta } tourney was foiled when East was defeat €' j in the second round by Omaha South.

Most of the Rockets' success was attr iluted to team unity, hard work in the weig t room, and depth. If the starting unit was r t effective, a bench player would come in > the game and provide the needed spa r Examples were when Matt Stuckenschm i, t entered the Columbus game and hit ti \ 3 three-pointers, and when Matt Mar came , to hit clutch free throws at the end of a 6:60 win over Southeast.

Elrod, a 6-foot-4 senior, was nominated by a committee of high school basketball coaches and sports writers. The committee will narrow the list down to 20 players who will play a nationally-televised game on April 15 in Indianapolis, Ind.

Reserve Basketball (15-1)

Success continues for JV's

Success continued to be a commonplace word for the boys reserve basketball team in 1989-90. Coach Doug Kaltenberger's squad lost only once in 16 games.

In compiling the 15-1 record, the Rockets captured the city championship despite a lack of height inside.

Working together as a team was the key reason the team was able to overcome a height disadvantage. The teamwork was especially noticeable against Columbus in a pressure-packed situation.

"The gym was packed before our game," junior Corey Hug said of the Columbus battle. "Everybody was pumped up to see the crowd behind us. We knew we had to win it."

Craig Ernstmeyer hit two free throws with two seconds left in the game to lift Northeast over the Discoverers. Ernstmeyer had taken a length of the court pass to get into position for a shot, but he was fouled before he could shoot.

Sophomore Basketball (4-8)

Win over Knights highlight of 4-8 season

The sophomore basketball team suffered through a 4-8 season in 198990.

An improved attitude, rebounding, and perimeter shooting keyed the Rockets' four wins. Included in the victories was a triumph over Southeast which avenged an early season loss.

"The Southeast game was real physical," Marc Houser said. "It was mainly an inside game, but in the end we hit our shots and they didn't."

Northeast defeated Southeast 5348 in the next-to-last game of the season before losing to Beatrice to close the year.

According to Houser, poor free throw shooting and poor offensive rebounding contributed to many of the team's setbacks.

"The attitude at the beginning of the season wasn't real good, but it got better as the season progressed," Houser said.

Under the direction of first -year coach LeRoy Seng, the squad set two goals for the season: To win more games than the previous season, and to improve each game. Both of the goals were achieved.

Highlights in the season included a pair of wins over Hastings, and avenging a regular season home loss by defeating Fremont in district play.

The Rockets provided fans with exciting finishes to some games, including a last-second shot by Amy

Playing as a team rather than as individuals also helped the team reach its goals. The squad rarely lost its intensity, which was one of the goals sought by Waters.

The season opened with a five point

loss to Hastings, but the Rocke t avenged that setback with a 54-28 w i over the Tigers later in the season.

"There was a lot of heat on us t avenge our loss to Hastings," Ki r Tobiassen said. "We spent a lot c time in practice preparing and w ended up going into the game ve r confident and intense. It's too bad th ; the chance doesn't arrive very often 1 redeem ourselves "

Northeast made the city title rac exciting. The Rockets defeated Ea and Lincoln High by two points, the downed Southeast, 40-32.

Sophs complete city race with 3-3 record

Despite its 3-7 record, the g i rls sophomore basketball team finished on even terms against city foes in 1989-90.

Lincoln Northeast .. 1990 State Runner ... up

Dreams don't a l w ays have happy end i ngs. Such was the case on a rainy evening in March as the Rocke ts fell one game short of the Class A basketball championship. After defeating Millard No rth and Columb us, Northeast prepared to face one of the quickest-and perhaps most tal ented--teams in state history, Omaha South. After holding a two point halftime lead, t he Rockets fa ded in the second half as the Packers put their defensive quickness and fast-break o ffense to use. The above photo was taken shortly after the second-place me d als were p laced around the necks of Northeast's squad by Coach Rick Collura and Ry an Elrod acc epted the runner-up trophy for the squad. While the faces are not those o f happ y pla y e rs, the thrill of playing in the Big Show will linger. And with time, the disappointme nt of f inishing second will be replaced by the satisfaction of a season filled with success . The players: Back Row (I. tor.) Steve Wenzl, Brian Etherton, Mike Hosek, Ryan Elrod, Matt Shaw, Jason Pflughaupt.

The 1989-1990 ROCKET Yearbook staff would like to thank everyone for their help and cooperation in producing this yearbook. We want to give our individual thanks to Chrystal Weideman, Matt Shaw and Aimee Lempke for their donated photos. Many teachers cooperated with the staff in letting some work on the yearbook an extra period or two. Many thanks to Mr. Miller, Mr. Chapman, Mrs. Schumann and Mrs. Scott. We couldn't thank Karen Kill ham enough for her help with the computers in the MERGER Lab. She is a great asset to this book. Thanks also to all of the advertisers that helped make this book possible with thier financial contributions. Lastly, we'd like to thank all of the students at Rocket High for making this book possible.

We hope that you will enjoy this book for many years to come and refer to it often while strolling down memory lane in the future.

Good luck to all of this year's senior class in all they do!

This page and poem are dedicated to George Alan Clasey. Alan, a senior, lost his life on Sunday, March 11, 1990. The ROCKET staff has left this page in memory of him.

Death like the sun comes everyday maybe in constant change yet similar in ways the color change the circumstance but it's always day to night and life to death brightness into darkness and loneliness into kindness

These are some of the pictures Alan took during this school year. He enjoyed taking pictures, and was always able to capture Northeast's school spirit on film.

Back in September of 1989 , the theme of "We W ill Rock You" was presented by Amy Shedlosky. This year's cover was drawn by Jasmine Fryrear who found the idea in a record store. The t itle on the binding boasts the Los Angeles font.

The ROCKET was 208 pages again this year although the price was hiked up from the previous $20 .00 to $22.00. The pages are printed on 80 pound Matte paper with endsheets done in light blue.

The first 16 pages were done in the Los Angeles font and the rest of the book was done in Helvetica in various sizes. Most of the typing and all of the printing was done in the MERGER Lab and right in room 11 O on the Apple Macintosh Plus computers. Everything was printed on the Apple LaserWriter Plus. The ROCKET remains a school-paste up book .

The ROCKET was pr i nted i n Marceline, Missouri by Walsworth Publishing Company Our representat ives this year like years past were Mike Diffenderfer in Lincoln, and in Marceline was Brenda Search. The ROCKET staff is a member of the Nebraska High School Press Association.

The sports team photos were taken by Richard Evans of Evans' Studio of Lincoln and the underclass and faculty photos were done by Life Touch National Studios. All other photos were taken by the ROCKET staff except those donated by Chrystal Weideman , Matt Shaw and Aimee Lempke.
