New to the Northeast administration staff Is Harold P. Dietrich, who holds the position of vice principal. Mr. Dietrich's duties include handling assemblies, helping with discipline and assisting students with their problems. (1967 ROCKET photo)

Dietrich retires

Harold Dietrich has been at Northeast since the fall of 1966. When he started 25 years ago, he was the vice -principal and handled student affairs.

Now, after 21 years as Northeast's principal, Dietrich has announced his retirement, effective this summer.

Dietrich has seen many changes at Northeast. He has seen school improvements such as the media center, the music facilities, the science wing, the industrial arts and physical education wings, and a swimming pool with plenty of seating for spectators.

He has also seen many staff members come and go, and new faces enter to replace those who have retired.

Dietrich said he will miss Northeast High School. He will miss what he calls the "different flavor" of Northeast, referring to the combining of three small communities: Havelock, Bethany, and University Place.

"I'll miss the students and the staff," Dietrich said. "I'll also miss planning with the staff and the activities . But most of all, I'll miss the atmosphere."

Despite his attachment to the school, Dietrich decided it would be best to retire now. He'll spend his time doing what he likes to do--relaxing, traveling, playing golf, and pursuing some hobbies.

Dietrich, 63, began at Northeast after 14 years of working in the Fairbury school system. He was born in Lincoln and attended Lincoln High and the University of Nebraska.

The Rocket Marching Band started the year off right (and left) with performances at the varsity football games and providing entertainment at the kickoff rally at the beginning of the school year.

The band and drill team competed in the Harvest of Harmony street and field competition in October While in Grand Island the band recieved a superior on the field, third place for best overall band on the field, third place for best overall band in the parade and thrid place for best in class in parade. Next was the Lincoln Public Schools invitational. Here, the band, drill team and twirler each recieved superiors And once again at the state marching contest at Seacrest field the group recieved another superior. And with that, they wrapped up their 12th year of straight superiors.

When the football team played Lincoln High, both school's bands got together and did a Halloween half-time show complete with costumes and the theme from "Ghostbusters."

The show this year was more of a corps-style show including four tunes and a percussion feature written by Paul Gausman, the UNL Drumline instructor.

Long days of tedious practice and early morning rehearsals made it all worth while for this group of Northeast students.

travels To festivals

The 1990-91 Jazz Band has been busy performing all through the school year.

The 24 members have performed in two festivals. The first was in Greely, Colorado at the Greely Jazz Festival and the other was at the Northeast Community College Jazz Festival in Norfolk.

The group performed at the music department soup supper in February and put on a jazz show in conjunction with the Swing Choir in March. The Rock Show in May was the last public performance the band was to make during the school year.

Try outs for the band consists of reading music with the group during practice. Jazz Band's members are the cream of LN E's musical crop. Trumpet player Kyle Miller said that he has learned how to read music better since being in the ensemble. Sophomore trombone player Heath Jacobson said "Jazz Band is awesome and a lot of fun."

Symphonic Band is a year round class that takes the place of first quarter Marching Band. The 78 students involved in this class work hard and perform at two concerts a year, the winter and the spring.

The members of the Symphonic Band also perform at Solo and Ensemble Contests along with students from Concert Band and other schools. At these contests they perform in groups or individually in front of a judge and can receive awards.The band starts class at 7:55 in the morning Yes , that's five minutes before eveyone else . But the way that they look at it is a lot earlier than Marching Band practice which often times started before 7 Beside all of the hard work and practice that it takes to be a band member, the class is a-lot of fun. Director "Mr. K" makes the band work until they have something perfected, but, it all pays off when they get to perform at their concerts

This year's orchestra has been considerably busy. They have held their usual fall, winter and spring concerts along with many other special events.

One event was the All-City Orchestra contest at Kimball Recital Hall. Another was associated with Northeast's 50th Anniversary. A concert was held on December 18 with LN E Alumni that have pursued music as a career. It was an evening of music and memories.

Two activities were held with junior high schools. One was held during their winter concert where they played with the Dawes and Mickle orchestras. In another event, Northeast invited the feeder junior highs to participate in a concert.

In April, a concert was held with senior soloists performing their best pieces.

First year director, Janet LaFollette said, "I've heard many people say that the orchestra sounds better this year than in the past."

Chamber Singers

Very busy group

The 1990-91 school year was a busy one for Chamber Singers.

Some of the activities included the Anniversary Concert, a trip to Grand Island for the Madrigal Festival, performing at the annual Soup Supper, an ensemble with the Chantecler at Wesleyan, an assembly at Dawes Junior High, and the 1991 Rock Show.

Chamber Singers also had several holiday performances such as one at the Lincoln Country Club and another at the Knolls Country Club. The group also visited various businesses throughout Lincoln.

Maybe one of the luckiest chances the group received was to perform at Misty's North for the Athletic Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was started by a group of individuals who wanted the Hall to begin in conjunction with Northeast's 50th anniversary.

Another new activity was the production of a musical, People Got To Be Free", which was presented with the Peer Helper group.

Most activities began in October; such as "A Fall Concert" in which they sang "'All Creatures Now Are Merry Minded", "Ave Verum", "Let Nothing Ever Grieve Thee", and "Camptown Races'.

In December Concert Choir performed at Dawes Junior High and at Northeast's 50th Anniversary Concert. Concert Choir received an excellant rating at the "All City Choir Contest" at the Lied Center.

Learning speakers

The 1990-1991 speech team consisted of six "learning" members, as none of them have prior speech experience. The team attended five tournaments this year. Participating in speech requires intense personal dedication and hours of research. The team simply hoped to do well and have fun. According to Sponsor Pam Hulinsky, "The team's future aspirations include increasing membership and increased tournament experience".

Hard work Inspires debaters

Controversial topics cause mi xed feeling and is the main focus on a debater's agenda. Debate requires indepth research, hours of preparation, and a confident delivery. Sponsor Sue Resz was proud of this year's team. "I enjoyed debate this year. The kids are terrific. Everyone has great work habits and the self-motivation to do well. I don't have to push them in order to get results," Resz said.

Those attributes allowed for great results, which included a first place trophy in the Omaha Bryan debate.

50th anniversary is big Topic for Northeastern

The Northeastern has had a very busy year of deadlines and headlines.

The staff of nine wrote stories about students, faculty and timely topics that interested all its readers.

This year there were two editors. Senior Brenda Briley was the editor first semester and junior Amy Poindexter received the honors second semester.

Since Northeast is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the staff sold subscriptions to alumni and other interested readers. Senior Michelle Voeltz wrote a column entitled "In Black and White" about Northeast's historical aspects. Another hit with those that read the paper was the horoscopes done by Amy Poindexter. When asked how she writes them she replied, "It's my own little secret." (But the whole staff knows about that little crystal ball she keeps in her locker.)

Working hard to meet the deadline is (I. to r.) Ariel Spaeth, Tracy Glasscock and Amy Poindexter.

ROCKET

The 1991 ROCKET is a special anniversary edition to celebrate the 50 years of Northeast history. The staff began working on the book during the summer preparing the layouts and gathering new and refreshing ideas.

The 1991 ROCKET is bigger than past years, and is now the largest book in the city of Lincoln. A special 32 page section entitled "Blast from the Past" is dedicated to former Northeast graduates and faculty. Each of the sport and club pages include a flashback, consisting of a photo and copy from past editions of the ROCKET.

This year's cover, was designed and done in air brushed by Senior Kevin Fox who correlated his drawing with the theme of "Golden Reflections". The artwork on the division pages was created by Junior John Caine.Co-editors,Nancy Fagler(1990 editor) and Michelle Francis shared the responsibility of directing the ROCKET staff, and both are pleased with the work that has been accomplished. Several members of the staff were forced to drop due to scheduleling conflicts at the semester break, but new help arrived soon after. Michelle Francis believes that "this will be the best yearbook to ever come out of Northeast."

The drama department did their share of celebrating Northeast's 50th anniversary by restaging the play "Young April" from 1941. Bruce Chapman, who is head of the drama department felt this wasn't such a bad idea until he found out there was no copy of the play anywhere. But with the help of Edythe Cascini that problem was re$olved and the students did an outstanding job.

Mr. Chapman, who directed the play felt the students had lots of fun with the forty's costumes. But Kelly Muller who played the daughter didn't like the forty's hairstyle too much. On the other hand actor Ed Muller who played Professor McIntyre liked doing the play because he found the character he played very much like his father.

In the end the long practices paid off when the students performed in front of two sold out shows.

Abo_ve:Profes~or McIntyre (Ed Muller) provides words of wisdom to his son George (Jeff Bashore).

The Northeast drama department spent six weeks in preparation for the spring play "The Bat".

Director Bruce Chapman had little trouble with producing the play except converting it to theatre-in-the-round, for which it was not originally written.

The production crew also made a switch from the 1920 setting to a 1940 setting because they didn't have 20's costumes.

Except for the play being a little outdated, the performers enjoyed doing the play.

The mystery was centered around a criminal, The Bat, who stole $1 million from the local bank. The main suspect disappears, the president of the bank dies, and detective Anderson turns out to be The Bat.

Senior Ray Craig, who played Reginald Beresford, had mixed feelings about the play.

"I like it, but it's the last one I'll ever be in at Northeast," Craig said.

1942 Cast

"The Bat" was the second play presented by the class of 1942. Past issues of the NORTHEASTERN describe it as, "A thrilling mystery, so bring along the smelling salts for the weakhearted members of the family because when they see 'The Bat' creep after Mary Ellen Powell into the garretorwatch the 'Fire Bug' attempt to kindle a flame in the house, anything can happen."

"Gun toting has become popular with many of the cast. With such characters as 'The Bat' flitting around, perhaps they can't be blamed." The unknown man created the biggest commotion merely by hiding behind the davenport.

The mystery, solved in the Northeast auditorium, was a big success, due in part to the lighting and the two attractive sets, and the great effort given by all who participated.

Annual activities

Hi .ghlight Math Club

Math Club has done many fun things like the annual Spring Fling and Fall ball. The group also attends math competions such as the Probe 1 test at UNL.

Some competitions are out of the city like Omaha Central and Creighton. If the teachers want, club members take the Act-Pact.

Math Club is still going strong in its can recycling efforts, and money was raised by selling posters.

Bill Rogge continued as Math Club sponsor. Rogge has been the sponsor since the club started at Northeast.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

This is Amnesty lnternational's second year at Northeast. The group was c reated to make others aware of human's rights and to protect those rights.President Heather Piersel heads each meeting every club day and after school on occasion.

The group handed out green arm bands in support of peace in the Gulf. Sponsored by Jim Perry, Amnesty is also hopeful of planning an alternative music dance on the tennis courts some day after school. Throughoutthe year, they are attempting to raise money to help send a South African student on to college.

ECOLOGY CLUB

Ecology club has had a very busy 1990-91 school year. The members have implemented many new activities to help our world stay in existence. They started up a program to recycle aluminum cans to help out reforestation. The money made from this project will be used to "adopt" 20 acres of tropical rainforest. In April the club traveled to Crawford, Nebraska to plant trees at Fort Robinson State Park which had recently suffered a forest fire. The paper recyling program, started last year; went strong this year with the help of students and faculty here at Northeast.

Individuals For

In-Sync focuses On TV Journalism

In-Sync, the name of this years T. V. Jounalism class, which was recently added to the Nebraska schools curriculum, was dreamed up by East High Senior Andrew Loudon. The class itself is somewhat similiar to a couple of college courses in the same field. T. V. Journalism, is taught by JimSchaffer, and is held at the Public Schools Administration Building and E. T. V

"The class has taught me many aspects of television broadcasting from camera operation and switching to being a behind the scenes reporter and an anchor to being a set designer. In-Sync is a wonderful learning opportunity for anyone who wants to enter into anything journalism related," commented Northeast Senior April Leach.

In-Sync is also a communication class because each of the students has had to improve their communication skills in order to deal with every day pressures and be able to relate with the other members of the crew. Southeast Senior Michelle Jensen exclaimed that, "Sure it's a lot of stress but it's usually worth it in the end!"

Souders starts Club .for change

Individuals For Change, which was started here at Northeast this year by Karl Souders, went a long way. Students who were interested in Karl's idea to change and improve N.E. started gathering on club days and after school in Ms. Sue Resz's room. The group takes students ideas for changes at Northeast and then lobbies for these changes. Because of these dedicated students N .E.'s computer lab was opened on Saturday mornings with the help of Northeast Assistant Principal Mr. Moore. First semester was mostly organization. Second semester plans are to paint a wall mural and hold an alternative music dance.

Creativity key to Role playing

Role Playing is a new club at Northeast this year.

When the club meets they create characters to go along with the Dungeons and Dragons game. They create the character and its personality. You also determine the way it thinks, talks and acts.

There are all kinds of characters to create. They can be of different races and also take on different forms such as elves, gnomes or just regular human beings. You then individualize the characters by making them into things like priests, knights, wizards and psychics.

All of the games are tor fun although so~etimes the games get very intense

Peer j-{e{pers

Peer Helpers is a group of determined young individuals, determined to help. This was the first year that a group like this was active at Northeast. "It has been a little difficult for us to start new activities for the students, just because we are new," says Peer Helper April Leach.

Although it has been difficult for the "Peers" to implement new activities, some of their projects did include a New Students Luncheon, helping with new student orientation in '90 and '91, sorting and marking dozens of appreciation notes, helping in the organization of the first annual Dead Day, and putting together the production of People Got to be Free, a musical presented to junior highs. Each Peer Helper also had their own individual project.

The group was trained last year by Virginia Sapo rta-Brown and Mary Oestmann. This year's sponsors, Mary Oestmann and Nancy Muelhausen, are working on preparing the trainee group for next year.

Is this a new career move? Mr. ·Dietrich and Mr. Col erick mop up a non-stop spill at the luncheon.

Pilots Club, sponsored by Don Mach, is a new club introduced this year. It is aimed at informing its members about possible careers in aviation. Mach presents his members with varying information about mechanics, airtrafficcontrolling, maintenance, and piloting careers. He stresses many possibilities in the field, with very few involving actual flying.

The club invited Air Guard recruiter Russ Rimovsky to speak at one of their meetings. He informed them of the educational opportunities of the military, and the wide area of careers available.

In the 50th year of Northeast, Pilots Club started a new tradition that will hopefully span another 50 years to inform and guide students towards vast and unlimited possibilities in aviation.

On Wednesday, January 16, 1991 at approximately 3:50 p.m. "Operation Desert Shield" became "Operation Desert Storm" and another chapter was started in the history books of the world.

So many knew that war was inevitable. President Bush even knew. The evening of the 16th, he addressed the people of America with a speech he had been working on forthree weeks prior to the war outbreak.

War updates on television were becoming a way of life. Journalists from all forms of the media were stationed in Baghdad, Kuwait City, Dhahran and Riyadh reporting to the best of their ability to keep the American people abreast of late breaking stories and developments. Daily briefings from the Pentagon and from military headquarters in Saudi Arabia were becoming old hat.

But then it happened.

The ground offensive to run Iraqi troops and Saddam Hussain out of Kuwait began on Saturday, February 23. The 38th day of the war. But apparantly the U.S. had made a lasting impression on the Iraqis because on February 25, Hussain ordered his troops to start withdrawing from Kuwait. The 40th day of the war.

From the high school perspective things weren't that different on January 17. School wasn't called off, or in complete shambles. The media center televisions were on CNN all day reporting on the air attacks that the air support was carrying out. Classes discussed it and watched and listened to all reports.

The war effort has affected approximately 300-400 Lincoln Public School students. Parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and friends have been sent to the Gulf to protect democracy in a more vulnerable country.

The Lincoln Star printed an extra war edition paper along with the morning issue on January 17th.

Heng: "draft nowhere on horizon"

But this, the 41 st day of the war, we are living with it. We have found that our thoughts somehow trail off to those in a god-forsaken sand pit only thinking of home and the job that they are there to do. The days are easier to flow through and the news a bit more enlightening. But somehow our nation isn't complete. It will be someday and until then we'll wait with uncertainty in our minds and a hole in our hearts.

God Bless America.

February 26, 1991

Despite some estimates that the war would drag on for months or even a year, on February 27 the war quickly drew to a close.

With Iraq's Republican Guard virtually halted in its bunkers and the rest of Sadam Hussein's military in shambles, the man some referred to as another Hitler raised the white flag and agreed to the United Nations' sanctions. The ground attack, which completed the conflict, was over in a mere 100 days.

War brings new topics To Northeast classrooms

Speaking at the conference was Adjutant General Stanley Heng or the Nebraska National Guard.. One of the topics covered was the involvement of Nebraska troops in the war, along "~th military operations and weaponry in the Gulf.

Nebraska troops. which have been divided into two basic units, contain a total or 150 personnel The majority of these troopS have been stationed in Saudi Arabia since late November. Their job is to transpon inJured victi.ms when in need or assisiaocc.

General Heng also bad information oo U S troaps as a whole. He stated.

Sports Card Club

Sports Card Club Grows

Rapidly

Sport Card Club was one of the many new clubs started at Northeast this year after a commitment to bring Northeast students more variety in the clubs they could join.

Sponsored by Tracy Stauffer, who is a sports card collector, the group met on a regular basis to buy, trade, and talk sports cards.

While baseball and football cards were favorites, discussions were also held concerning hockey, basketball, and many other recently released cards.

Another topic for the club was the location of various card shows.

"We discuss where the shows are and which ones are good and bad," club member Joe Slechta said.

The popularity of collecting, investing, and selling sports cards has grown tremendously over the past 5-1 Oyears. The club seemed like an obvious group to organize at Northeast.

"There are a lot of kids out there who like to trade and collect cards," Stauffer said. "The club gives them a

chance to share ideas and to compare - ~~,lrf collections." 164/Sports Card Club

Gridders go 1-8

It's not easy finding words to express a 1-8 football record. Defensive captain Mike Beetem tried to summarize the season in capsule form.

"Our tough schedule at the beginning of the season hindered our ability to accomplish our goal of a winning season," Beetem said.

Beetem's analysis of a season that started with a 28-0 loss to Bellevue West is accurate. West was rated third in the pre-season, and featured two of the state's top athletes, all-state quarterback Clester Johnson and all-state wide receiver Erick Strickland.

It didn't get any easier for the Rockets. Long-time rival East presented an opportunity to make up for the Bellevue West setback. But the Rockets fell just short, losing 15-7 after Eric Stokes' broke a big play.

Northeast's offense struggled throughout the season. The Rockets equalled their entire season's output in a 30-6 win over Norfolk. However, a 173 loss to Fremont, a 19-14 setback to Hastings, and a 40-0 spanking by Lincoln High closed out the season.

In the end, finding positive aspects about the season was about as difficult as finding touchdowns during the season. In seven of nine games, Northeast's offense was held to seven points or less, and scored just two touchdowns in the first five games.

"If you measure success in wins and losses, then we didn't have a very successful year," Coach Bruce Reed said. "But there were positive things that came out of the season."

Northeast's SO-year football history has been filled with ups and downs, like any high school athletic program.

The Rockets enjoyed their most successful string of seasons from 1961 through 1966when Art Bauercoached squads compiled a 49-5 record. Five city championships, one state title (1961 ), and two undefeated seasons were part of the sixyear roll.

Coaches during the half-century include John "Cy" Yordy (1941 ), Bernard "Bun" Galloway (19421956), Art Bauer(1957-1966, 1969), Claire Boroff (1967-68), Bob Els (1970-1985), and Bruce Reed (1986-1990).

In addition to the 1961 championship, state titles were earned in 1943 (9-1) and 1950 (9-0). The Rockets were named co-champions with Lincoln East in 1972. Northeast and East battled to a 7- 7 tie that season and were the only undefeated Class A teams in the state.

The Rockets have not captured a state title since the playoff system was introduced in 1975. However, teams in 1977, 1978, and 1982 qualified for post-season play. The best Northeast playoff finish was in 1982 when the Rockets lost, 34-0, to Omaha Westside in the title game.

Northeast has had four undefeated seasons ( 1950, 1961, 1963, and 1972) and has gone winless only once (1956) in its 50-year history. During the SO-year period, the Rockets have compiled a record of 262-189-8.

Of Northeast's six head coaches, Bob Els has the most wins. Els' 16year record was 88-60-4. The top coaching winning percentage has been posted by Art Bauer, who finished with a .690 mark.

Reserve Football

Win over Beatrice Avoids whitewash

This year's reserve football team had a tough season, both physically and mentally.

"We had quite a physical test, due to the lack of people who came out for the team," Coach Kevin Schrad said. "One game there were only 20 guys suited up to play, and with 11 of them on the field there is no way that you can play your best the entire game."

The lone win, 28-7 over Beatrice, was the highlight of the season.

Junior Todd Hohbein said if the squad could have defeated Fremont in the season opener (NE lost, 21-20), confidence and inspiration could have produced a better record.

"We just wanted to have a winning season, and be a repsectable team," Hohbein said.

Sophomores battle; But post 0-7 record

T he sophomore football team never recovered from a season-opening loss to Papillion and finished with a 0-7 record.

"If we could have come up with a victory against Papillion, our momentum would have dictated a better season," running back Mike Berry said.

Momentum, which plays a key role in most athletic contests, quickly disappeared as the Rockets dropped 20 -6 and 26-6 games to Southeast and Lincoln High.

A tough 28-20 loss to Nebraska City reserves continued the streak Following two more losses, the sophomores battled to the wire against city rival East before falling, 13-6.

Monarchs halt Rockets'

quest

After winning the district tournament, Northeast advanced to the state tourney for the 10th time in the last 13 years

The Rockets had posted a 31-3 record and were considered by many to have the inside track at a third state title.

All of Northeast's losses during the regular season were to Bellevue West, the defending Class A state champion. However, West ran into trouble when standout Natalie Porter was out of the lineup with a broken ankle and the Rockets took over the No. 1 rating.

Northeast rolled over Omaha Burke, 15-6, 15-2 in the first round after defeating the Bulldogs 15-2, 15-6 earlier in the season.

"Regardless of whether we won or lost we were most inspired when we played the toughest teams," stated senior Rachel McHargue.

The Rockets advanced into the semifinals against Papillion-LaVista, but fell one game short of reaching the title match against Bellevue West.

Northeast forced eight match points before the Monarchs prevailed, 15-12, 715, 15-11.

"Team unity enabled us to play as well as we did, although losing our final match will always linger with us," said senior Nickole Brokaw.

The Rockets' 32 wins tied Bellevue West's state record for most wins in a season.

Northeast's volleyball history is a prime example of how far the sport has progressed since its beginning in 1972.

The Rockets, behind 13-year head coach Sandi Genrich, have established one of the state's most consistent programs. Northeast's overall volleyball record is 277-120, including the 1990 season.

Beginning with a 5-5 record in that first year, the schedules and level of play in the sport have increased dramatically. This past season, Northeast finished 32-4. The total of 36 matches was the most ever played by a high school volleyball team in Nebraska.

Northeast struggled with the fledgling program, going 27-45 during the first six years of play. Nancy Bishop, currently a PE teacher at Northeast, was head coach for the first three years before Jody Bell coached an equal number of seasons and posted a record of 17-19.

Genrich, who had coached at Lincoln ·Pius X, took over the reigns in 1978. After watching her first team go 9-8, Genrich quickly took Northeast volleyball to a new level.

State titles in 1981 and 1984 have been the highlights, along with runner-up finishes in 1979, 80, 82, and 87. Overall, 1O of Genrich's 13 teams have qualified for the state tournament. Genrich's record at Northeast is 250-75 .

Summer camps, USVBA select teams, advanced coaching techniques, and specialization by athletes have all contributed to Northeast's success.

Spikers fulfill Dream season

This year's reserve volleyball team experienced a "dream season". They finished with a 13-1 record, the best ever. The highlight of their season was the game against Hastings Saint Ceclia, a varisty team who later went on to win the Class C State tournament.The match went three sets, and at one point in the second set the Rockets had taken the lead.

Many team and individual records were broken. Junior Anne Beckner believes that much of the teams success was because, "We worked closely together as a team." Coach Brenda Ward inspired the team in many ways. "Coach Ward would always write us special poems to pump us up for our big games, and we wanted to win for her," said sophomore Becky Ernstmeyer. Sophomore Tiffanie Mar also appreciated Coach Ward's effort, "She never let us quit and helped us improve alot."The team moto for this year was,"®@ (W® ~"

Finishing with a losing record is nothing t o shout about, but there were posit ive aspects to the sophomore volleyball s eason. When considering the sophomore level is a level for learning, the rec o rd is a little easier to accept. Team unity was focused throughout the season. The team improved as the season went on, Tracy Rasplicka and Jenny Livers were two of the people who set personal records.

The highlight of the season was the w i ns against Raymond Central and Southeast, both of whom the Northeast sophomores have never beaten before. "We beacame a stronger team unit and overcame many obstacles ," said sophomore Jenny Livers. Liz Cook liked playing at Northeast rather than in junior high because" the people are more fun, enthu iastic , and competitve."

The 1990 Girls golf team consisted of five people which included two returning letter w inners; senior Jennifer Louthan and sophomore Jessica Christiansen. Coach Kim Wiseman said her goal this season was to see improvement in the young team, and have the girls shoot under 500 in a meet.

This year's team showed the improvement that Coach Wiseman was looking for. They won the Lincoln Northeast Invitational and finished higher than many of the past LNE teams. First year golfer, senior Michelle Francis became the first female golf golfer in Northeast's history to qualify for the state tournament, after winning a playoff for the tenth and final spot for state qualifiers.

The girls overcame many obstacles such as the extreme heat that plagued the start of the season and having sophomore Nikki Abbot declared ineligible for the first three meets because of transfer conflicts.

"Although our record wasn't very impressive, the important thing is we improved at the end of the season and finished up strong," said senior Matt Sudler.

Sudler and Mark Wesslund, the No. 1 doubles team, upended the No. 4 seeded team before falling in the quarterfinals match.

"This year's team showed a lot of heart by finishing up strong, and the underclassmen this year gained experience and should provide leadership next year," stated Coach Jerry Ehrlich.

Tournament berth

Is sixth straight

The highs and lows of Northeast's basketball season were about as varied as the barometer during a spring storm in Nebraska.

In a season filled with big wins, the 16-7 Rockets ended on a sour note by losing to Kearney, 70-63 in a first-round game at the state tournament.

Northeast earned its sixth straight state berth after defeating Fremont and Southeast in the A-1 District. The 49-46 win over Southeast was an example of another major victory.

Other triumphs included defeating Omaha Benson and Southeast during the regular season when both teams were rated No. 1. Although the Rockets defeated two top-rated teams, they never reached the top spot.

Back-to-back losses to Fremont at home and No. 1 Millard South on the road closed out the regular season and left Northeast in a must-win position situation at district.

Mark Wesslund hit two free throws in the closing seconds, then Northeast's defense forced an errant Southeast shot at the buzzer as Rocket fans streamed onto Pershing Auditorium's floor.

For all of its tremendous shooting performances during the season, few would have expected Northeast to score just 14 points in one half against Kearney. But that's what happened as the Bearcats took a 28-14 lead they never gave up.

Northeast chipped away at the deficit in the second half, but Kearney clinced the win with free throws down the stretch. In a more characteristic display of its offensive power, Northeast outscored Kearney 49-42 in the second half.

The Rockets snapped the school singlegame team scoring record by rolling up 108 points against Grand Island. It was the firsttime in 50 years that a Northeast team scored 100 points. To prove it was no fluke, the team scored 107 against North Platte.

Golden Reflections

The overall school record following the 199091 basketball season is 713-279. The current coach, Rick Collura, is in his fifth season at Northeast. Overall, the last three coaches at Northeast (Hawkins, Johnson, Collura) have a combined record of 643-242. There were five coaches before Collura, including Clifford Bosley, L.J. Tepley, "Bun"Galloway and Dawdy Hawkins. But when Lincoln Northeast's basketball history is mentioned, one coach comes to mind before all others.

Ed Johnson, for 37 years, was Northeast basketball. He was the dedication, the discip line, the success. Johnson, who died in 1986 following a bout with cancer, would be the first to tell you that athletes, not coaches, win games. Being humble was Johnson's style.

There were a lot of wins during Johnson's tenure. The man from Calhoun, Missouri finished with a 505-203 record at Northeast, including seven state titles. Honors bestowed upon Johnson are too numerous to mention, but one that stands above the rest was being named the National High School Coach of the Year in 1986.

Also too numerous to mention were the players who have worn the black and white during Northeast's SO-year basketball history. Here are just a few in a very inconclusive list.

Paul Fredstrom (1948-51 ): Northeast's career scoring leader with 941 points. Holds record for most career field goals (363).

Jerry Motz (1961-64): No. 7 in career scoring with 756 points holds record for most points in one game, 57, set in 1964 against South Sioux City, and most field goals in one game (23) set in the same game.

Jan Wall (1955-58): No. 6 in career scoring with 773 points. Inducted into Northeast Hall of Fame last February. Holds record for most free throws in one game (18-20), and most points in a season (401 ), both set in 1956-57 season

Tom Novak (1967-70): No. 5 in career scoring with 790 points.

Terry Novak (1971-7 4): No. 3 in career scoring with 824 points.

Brad Richardson (1984-87): No. 2 in career scoring with 872 points and second in career field goals (356).

Dana Janssen (1981-83): No. 2 in season field goals (141 ) No. 4 in season scoring. AllAmerican at Nebraska Wesleyan.

Ryan Elrod (1987-90): No. 1 in season scoring with 433 points in 1989-90 one of the greatest jumpers ever to play at LNE. No. 9 in career scoring with 733 points.

Doug Berka (1974-77): No. 8 in career scoring with 754 points greatest free throw shooter in LNE history (214-260) for 82.3% during his career.

Maury Damkroger (1967-70): No. 4 in career socring with 803 points.

JV's finish 12-4

This year's reserve boys basketball team experienced yet another spectacular season.

The Rockets finished with a 12-4 record, boosting Coach Doug Kaltenberger's winning percentage to 85% over the past five seasons. Kaltenberger's record is 68-12.

Kaltenberger maintained his modesty when asked about the success of the reserve team.

"The talent that comes through our program is a major factor in our success," Kaltenberger said.

Another factor, according to the coach, is the support received by the team.

"The fan support at Northeast is unmatched by any team in the state," he said.

Kaltenberger and his reserve teams had never won at MIiiard South, but that was also remedied with a hair-raising 58-56 win in the season's finale. That win came on the heels of a 71-55 victory over Fremont.

"Beating Fremont and MIiiard South was a great way to end the season," Kaltenberger said.

Roller coaster

T his year's sophomore boys basketball team went through a roller coaster season, finishing with a 3-8 re cord.

Although the Rockets only had three wins they were within eight points of their opponent, except for the final two games.

The Rockets lost the first two games of the season against East and Lincoln High, before collecting their first victory against an East team that beat them a week earlier. After dropping their next four games, Northeast halted the skid with victories over Lincoln High and Raymond Central reserves. The Rockets ended their season with losses to Southeast and Beatrice.

Rockets finish ninth

With 10-10 record

A rugged schedule resulted in a .500 season for the girls varsity basketball team as second-year Coach LeRoy Seng's squad finished 10-10.

The tough schedule (Northeast played 9 teams that were rated sometime during the season) earned Northeast notice at the end of the season. Both the Lincoln Journal-Star and The Omaha World-Herald awarded the Rockets a ninth-place standing in the final ratings.

Northeast opened the season with a 70-45 romp over Hastings as Amy Herman's outside shooting sparked the effort. Herman, who was named to the All-State Class A second team by the World-Herald, bothered zone defenses during the season with her three-point shooting.

Improved play inside by Monica and Michelle Pierce, Angie Usher, and Rachel McHargue gave the squad an added dimension and helped control ·the boards in some games.

Northeast upset Millard North in overtime, at Millard North when the Mustangs were rated sixth.

Heading into district play, Seng was hopeful his squad could become the first Northeast girls basketball team to qualify for a state tournament since the 1982 squad. However, Southeast started its district-title run with a 5point win over the Rockets

Gold _ en Re:f l:e:c·tio,; ns

When basketball junkies gather to discuss Northeast girls' basketball history, the conversation always seems to focus on the 1982 state tournament.

That was the year of The Shot. The 75-foot shot. By Karen Moore. It was good. But, it left the Rockets one point short of forcing an overtime in the Class A championship game against Kearney and possibly winning the school's first girls hoop title.

Coach Hank Willemsen, who guided the girls program from its start in 1974 until he left coaching after the 1988-89 season, has vivid memories of Moore's baseball-type fling that whistled through the net and into the record books as time expired.

"It was just such an unbelievable shot," Willemsen recalls. "Just think of the impact if we would have been behind by one or two points. As it was, the shot didn't make any difference in the outcome of the game."

The three-point field goal, which changed the game of high school basketball in 1987, was no help to the Rockets in a 43-42 loss to Kearney.

Northeast qualified for the state tourney in 1983, but exited after a first-round loss to Kearney. Other state tournament appearances include 1978 (first-round loss to Omaha Burke, 38-31 }, and 1979 (first-round loss to Omaha Marian, 32-30).

Willemsen, who remained as a teacher at Northeast after retiring from coaching, finished with a career record of 165-111 for a winning percentage of 59.8. LeRoy Seng, who took over for Willemsen, has a 18-22 record after two years as head coach. That makes the school record 183-133.

A few of the individual players who have etched their names in the record book:

Karen Moore: Northeast's all-time leading scorer with 654 career points. Moore also holds the record for points in a season with 315 in the 1982-83 campaign. Hit 93 of 114 free throws in 1982-83 for 82%.

Ronda Pieper: Holds the school record for most field goals in a season with 129 in 198182.

Cindy Jelinek: Ranks second on the alltime scoring list with 645 points. Jelinek played from 1978-1981 Also holds record for most points in one game, scoring 30 against Fremont on February 2, 1979. Twice made 12 field goals in one game.

Pam Woodward: The #3 all-time scorer with 511 points from 1983-86.

Pam Samuelson: Holds record for most free throws in one game with 12-for-12 against Millard in 1977.

Reserves capture City championship

The girls reserve basketball team experienced a very successful season, and a record setting year. The record of 14 wins and 2 losses put the team down in the history books, with the best record for a JV team since the girls basketball program began in 1977.

The Rockets got off to a slow start, losing two of their first three games of the season. Head Coach Bruce Waters had a talk with his team following the first loss.

"I think I can coach better and I know that you can play better, so if we work together we could have a very successful season," Waters said.

Following an 18-point loss to Norfolk, a 48-46 victory over East was the spark that started the fire, as NE went on to finish out the season with 13 straight wins.

The Rockets showed their poise and confidence throughout the season by winning overtime games against Lincoln High, Grand Island, and Hastings.

"After we got off to somewhat of a slow start everything started coming together," said sophomore Tiff Mar. All of the players made significant contributions to the teams success.

According to junior Sara Rathe, teamwork played a key role in the reserve's progress. "Everyone got along great, and we were friends both on and off the court. 'Selfish' wasn't in our vocabularly," Rathe said.

Sophomores have Misleading year

This years sophomore girls basketball teams' record was misleading. The soph's finished winless in ten attempts. First year Coach Tami Lang believes the girls improved steadily thro!-,lghout the season, and the effort and improvement during the season was tremendous.

The winning and losing of games can sometimes become difficult. "They showed progress thoughout the year · and never stopped working," Lang said.

The advancement of the sophomore's offense was most noticeable, with an increase in free throw percentage from 13% to 62%, and average shots per game from 13 to 45. The team averaged 20 defensive rebounds per game at the end of the season. Coach Lang summed up the season with, "We didn't have a 100% record, but each member of the team gave 100% through the year".

Records smashed

Swimming Coach Tracy Stauffer calls the 1990-91 season a "tremendous feat".

Stauffer has reason to feel upbeat about the boys team's 7-2 dual record, its eighth place finish at state, and the double-record breaking performance by freestyler Joe Woodshank.

Only 13 swimmers finished the season as part of the squad. That didn't stop the tankers from claiming dual wins over Grand Island and an upset triumph over Millard North.

Stauffer cited senior leadership by Ed Muller, Karl Souders, Jeff Baldwin, and Kevin Fox as keys to the season.

While seniors helped provide the leadership, it was a junior who made his mark in the record books.

Joe Woodshank smashed school records in the 50 and 100 freestyle. Woodshank's 50-free time of :21 78 broke the old record of :22.29, set in the 1989-90 season by Ed Muller. His 100-free mark of :49 10 broke the old record of :49.43, set by Jody Hansen in the late 1980's.

The 200-free relay team, a new event this season, established a record of ·1 :29 43. Members of the relay team were Woodshank, Souders, German exchange student Jorge Busch, and Muller.

The 400-relay team, composed of Woodshank, Brian Meyer , Busch, and Muller set a new school record of 3 :19 08.

Fun and exciting

Coach Tracy Stauffer described the gi rls swimming season as "fun and exc it ing".

Acc o rd ing to Stauffer, he watched the freshman class work hard to help the varsity post a 4-4-1 dual record.

Stauffer praised members of the squad for being able to balance other activities and still find time for team practices and meets. "No one quit the team and everybody gave 100 per cent. I appreciate those kind of sacrifices," Stauffer said.

Stauffer also cited the senior leadership of Shannon Landkamer , Michelle Hohenfeldt, and Amy Byers as a key to the team's success.

"One of the things I learned this season was that giving an athlete a second chance is not a bad or dumb decision, because I learned to never g ive up on an athlete, ever," Stauffer said

One of the sea s on's highlights was t he school record set in the 400-free relay.

Dear students and faculty,

February 28, 1991

My congratulations and best wishes to Northeast High School on the occasion of its 50th anniversary By coincidence, I will mark my 50th birthday as well in 1991

I don't claim to attach any significance of our mutu a anniversaries to the last fifty years, but I genuinely believe the last half century to be the most important, t h most incredible and the most exciting fifty years in worl d history.

Fifty years ago, the United States entered the great e war e v ery fought, that hopefully ever will be fought, and emerged as the greatest nation the world has ever known.

Since that time, we have seen the advancement of the computer, the elimination of some of our most dreaded diseases and the expansion of space travel culminating in the landing of man on the moon. We also saw the creation o a truly global community.

I look forward to the next fifty years with much anticipation. I belie ve cures will be found for the remainder of our d eadly disea ses. I believe the opportunities for our young people will increase and expa n , And I believe our global community will work toward and f i ! lasting peace and prosperity

My best wi s he s for all of you for the years to come.

Sincerely,

Governor

Dear Northeast Students : Lincoln Northeast High School's 50th anniversary is a significant occasion which encourages us to look both backward and forward In September of 1940 when the first b rick was put in place for the Northeast building, a decade of planning had already gone into the pro ject As early as January of 1931, the Lincoln Board of Education asked citizens to help name the new high school that would serve students who were attending Bethany, Jackson and University Place high schools At that time, the board recognized that better course offerings woulcf - be available for all students by co nsolidating the three smaller schools.

Northeast High School s graduating class Clf 170 students was about half the size of this year's senior class of 342. The 1940-41 school year marked the beginning of what we can now look back on proudly as 50 years of growth for northeast Lincoln.

It has become increasingly evident that the next 50 years will be an equally exciting time of growth and change for Northeast High Schoo l and for north Lincoln

From the beginning of the school's history, the Rockets have symbolized the sense of community pride and hope for the future so characteristic of the Northeast High School area. As the school marks its 50-year anniversary, we can all look back on its history with pride, and l ook forward with enthus iasr.t to the limitless possibilities of tomorrow

Sincerely,

Philip H. Schoo Superintendent of Schools PHS/lp

WASHINGTON DC 20510- 2704

To the Students and Faculty of Lincoln Northeast High School:

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulat , Lincoln Northeast High School on the celebration of its 50th Anniversary.

As I think ab out my life as a student at Lincoln Northeast, I wonder how the teachers and administrative personnel managed to get me out alive.

Although we did not have to worry about drugs or ev e : alcohol, there was plenty of danger in the combination of high compression engines, unpredictable hormones, and a code of honor that had us fighting each other at the dro p of a hat. The late 1950's - the Eisenhower years and th e beginning of Kennedy's Camelot - were not as peaceful or safe as our parental reminiscenc es contend.

From my middle age vantage I would respectfully off e ; two piece of advice: pay attention to the voice of your conscience more than the clamor of voices around you, and be proud of whatever work is in front of you. Stated in the negative: don ' t worry about the praise of others and don ' t be in such a hurry to do the job that yo 1 do it poorly. These ideas are not or iginal to me. In my memory are fragments of both offered l ong ago and in different ways by Northeast teachers, coaches, and facul t '

Finally, make certain you remember that you are a Rocket Hold fast to your friends by being there for the r when they need you. Being consider ate, kind, and helpfu ~ is no t incomp at ible with success.

Congratulations from a pr oud graduate of Nort hea st High School as my al ma mater celebrat es its 50th anni v ersary this year Next year, I r eturn to Nor th east for my graduating class' 20th anniversary_

/1.s I reflect upon the s e tw o anniversaries, I recall the tremendous experience I had attending Northeast High S chool. The fr ien dships I made, th e successes I enjoyed, the values I learned, all enable me to look b ack upon my experience at Northeast as both positive and precious. It didn't always seem like it at the time I do recall some of the frustra tions all high school students feel as they learn t o make friends, meet challenges and deal with all of the various problems of adoles~ence as _they prepare for adulth ood. High S chool is not an e asy time, but it can be a very fun and e nj oyable time if you attend a sc h ool like Northeast.

/I.gain, my besl wislles lo u ll lhe current slutlents or NorlheuBl untl to a ll our alumni from over the past 50 ye a r s Go Rockets!

De ar Students, Faculty, and Alumni of Northea st High School :

My si nc er e congratulations as Northeast celebrates it s 50th Annive rsary!

As a reside~~ ot Lincoln, T have always b eP.n impre$sed with th8 enthusiasm and dedication of those attending and working at Northe ast High. The success of your graduates is a testimony to that enthusiasm and dedication

I count ma ny friends amo ng the c ommun i ty you serve, and know them to be hard~working responsibl e people. Those value s are characteri stic when we see the strong ac adem ic, art, music, and athletic programs at Northeast and the recognition given the partici pants.

This golden anniversary i s an opp o rtunity to reflect on the past and plan for the future. I have no doubt we will be seeing furt her gre at achievements. With best wishes.

BEYOND BLACK AND WHITE

Look at you. Look at me. Who would ever think that we Would be here face to face again. Forgetting now, remembering then. If we knew then what we know now. Would it all have turned out different someway? Somehow?

Oh, we knew we had the answers. What was wrong and what was right. We knew it all. Yet we knew nothing.

It was all so very simple. You were in or out like day or night. And the days and nights seemed endless. When our world was black and white.

But we walked away. And we flew away. And some of us just grew away. To discover love, and work and war. To laugh and cry, win and lose, and wonder why. And thousands of days passed by. And the colors of life, filled our sight. Beyond our world of black and white.
