The shadow of a s chool- the shadow of a Rocket Could the givers of the nickname " Rocket s" have known that as the years pa ss ed the name would have more and more meaning and significance?
In a time of uneasiness and strifeand often for us , the leaders of tomorrow, a time of confusion and insecurity - the Rocket is more than symbol for Lincoln Northeast, it is a symbol of the stepped up pace of every phase of modern living.
Political strife over the basic conflict of ideologies has made the Rocket an added insurance for our democratic way of life.
Here in Lincoln, we live in the shadow of SAC headquarters and twelve Nike missile bases. A re-
newed awareness of our national obligations has resulted in steppedup civil defense and survival preparedness.
The you th of today face unexpected challenges in education. We live in the shadow of two universities which provide us with ever greater educational opportunities.
The challenge is that we acquire not only knowledge , but wisdom. We must learn how to live in peace with our fellow men. We must grow in social and spiritual understanding as we strive for technical knowledge. Our lives will always reflect the ideals instilled in us at Lincoln Northeast. As the Rocket is our shadow, we are the shadow the school casts - in the world around us.

everchallenging world
This year has been a year of firsts for the United States. We all waited breathlessly for word of Astronaut John Glenn's progress as he orbited the earth. The world was tense as the Berlin Wall went up, and split over the question of nuclear testing. We felt the reverberations of the many incidents which kept our world in a state of confusion.
Our world is moving at an astounding rate and if we close our eyes we're likely to be by-passed. Great emphasis is being placed on youth governmental activities. In modern problems classes we strive to solve the world's problems and prepare to assume the role of wellinformed citizens.
Time, it seems, is always at a premium , but there are moments when everyone else has gone home and we're left alone - then we have time to think - and must.
" Why take a tranquilizer when you can have relief like this from a pink call slip," sighs Linda Webster
We adjust to the tense and typical moments
" I knew I should 'v e listened in lit class ," think many s eniors as they slave over the Regents Exam.
Collecting attendance slips is just one of office assistant Linda Holmberg' s duties.
Daily as we walk down the corridor at Lincoln Northeast we see the familiar faces, places, and actions all around us: The office assistants collecting attendance slips, boys gathered in the front hall greeting arrivals, demerit time, or sign committees working-these are typical of Northeast. It's not these things we must learn to take in our stride, but the tense moments which may bring ecstasy or disappointment. These are the things which make school a vital part of growing up.

Blow those bugles, roll those drums. We've got a team and here they come!

which have grown with LN
Traditions have made the shadow Northeast casts an enduring one. Each year the students , in follm · '1.g the old patterns, find a feeling of uelonging. This feeling becomes pride and accomplishment as they contribute to the traditions of Lincoln Northeast.
Hobo Day, the Turnabout, the Rocket Revue, Dr. Taylor faithfully standing by the team, the All-School Plays, the Senior Class Gift-these traditions we proudly carried on.
We witnessed the making of new traditions as well . The Victory Gong, given by the Bethany Lions Club, helped Northeast carry on the tradition, "Winning isn't everything, it ' s the only thing. "

Out-of-school activities occupy over two-thirds of our busy lives. It is only logical that the shadow cast by our home, church, and community should be the greatest.
To parents we carry our problems, large and small; we rely on them, and rebel against them in moments of frustration and impatience. They were the ones who taught us our first words, showed us right from wrong, took us to Sunday School, and held our hand on our first day of school.
As we mature, our horizons broaden, and we begin taking an active interest in community affairs. Our friends and experiences are no longer confined to family and school. This is our first step toward independence.

Northeast cast cast a long shadow in 1962. We made our presence known in Lincoln, in Nebraska, and in the United States.
Northeast had four National Merit Semi-finalists: Loretta Good, Herb Johnson, Leland Schlitt, and Margaret Von Forell. We placed two boys, Herb Johnson and Larry Frolik, on the Regents All-State Scholastic Team, as well as having 37 Regents Alternates.
Superiority was the word in sports with a triple state crown-Football, Gymnastics, Basketball.
We did! We did! We did take state!

A staff of 43 men and women is dedicated to
helping students achieve
Striving to encourage an interest for learning, the 42 teachers of the Lincoln Northeast faculty arrive before the school day begins to arrange displays, plan classwork, or investigate perplexing questions and problems.
During the course of the day, teachers supervise study hall, handle noon duty, and pick up supplies and the daily mail in addition to conducting their 5 regular classes, averaging 30 students each.
Some teachers remain after the final bell to sponsor clubs or coach school sports teams. Correcting papers, offering extra help and encouragement to students, and preparing for the following day fill much of the teacher's after school hours.

International relationships improved by AFS
Through the American Field Service, the opportunity to live in a foreign country is given to high school students. American students may participate in either a school or a summer exchange program.
Lincoln Northeast senior Kathleen Starkey lived in Eindhoven, Netherlands, the summer between her junior year and senior year, under the AFS summer exchange program.
Gunnel Holm, from Halsingborg, Sweden, and Bjarte Graven, from Oslo, Norway, attended Lincoln Northeast as school exchange students.
Juniors Rae Jean Dell and Larry Johnson were finalists for the 1962 exchange student plan.

Enthusiasm was the keynote of the Junior Class
In November, 16 junior boys and girls were selected by their instructors to attend County Government Day. Judi Germer, Dottie Powell, and Barb Weaver were elected chairmen of their respective divisions.
Several juniors were chosen to attend Nebraska Girls and Boys State. The one week session was held in June. The finalists for Boys State were Stephen Hamilton, Phillip Lyon, Gene Shipman , John Thompson, Leslie Tyrrell , and Michael Wylie. Candidates for Girls State were Marilyn Cronk, Rae Jean Dell, Louise Ellis , Gail J effrey , Jessie Kerrey, Sharon Loudenback, and Linda Mahoney.

Led by their officers, the junior class planned for the annual JuniorSenior Banquet held in the spring. Juniors ended the year knowing that in a few months they would be the almighty and domineering seniors.

New friendships and new duties faced them
66
"Sophomores, sophomores, everywhere! There's no doubt about it!" As 380 sophomores stomped into Lincoln Northeast on the first day of school, class enrollment records toppled. Guided by counselors, sophomores adjusted quickly to their new surroundings.
Sophomores labored to achieve their goals by entering debate, Student Council, plays, music, and organizations. They supported the Rocket teams by attending home and out-of-town games and other sport activities.
Coming from Dawes, Culler, and Mickle Junior High Schools, the sophomores established new friendships.
Outside of school, they participated in religious groups, gave parties, and enjoyed being high school students.
As the end of the year drew near, sophomores planned for the future. With excitement they looked forward to becoming pep club members, reserve cheerleaders, varsity team members, club officers, and honor students.

Decorating LN for the Christmas season was another function of Council members. Student Council is composed of students elected by their homerooms.
To assist the new sophomores in gaining a better know ledge of the rules, activities, and customs of the school, council planned and prepared a handbook containing everything a new student would need to know when entering Northeast for the first time.

Widows, a flag, ears, and the morgue are familiar terms used by the reporters for the NORTHEASTERN. With a nose for news, a pencil, and a mind bubbling with questions, each staff member gathered the news. Typewriters clicked as the journalists hurriedly completed the articles that appeared in: the bi-weekly publication.
During the first semester, because of a lack of reporters in the news pa per class period, the beginning journalism students received first-hand experience at writing for the paper.

High school days soon fly by and memories often fail to recall the year's activities, people, and fun. To keep the recollections of high school days fresh in the minds of their fellow students, the Rocket staff captured and preserved each moment in pictures and words.
Assuming responsibility for organizing and compiling 152 pages covering the year's events were Claudia Eisel and Karen Johnson, co-editors. The staff included juniors and seniors, most of whom were new to the staff. Mrs. Barbara Kos served as adviser .
An air of mystery surrounded room 110 as the year progressed. Secrecy was pledged by the staffers as the book took final form.

Swept into the atmosphere of France on November 4, Lincoln Northeast girls attending the annual Turnabout Dance escorted their dates through an "Evening in Paris." Amid fleurs-delis, eiffel towers, berets, and poodles, Gary Muehlhausen reigned as King of Hearts. Sponsored by the Rockettes, the Turnabout featured a French cafe with mural paintings and candlelight.
Two of the highlights of the year for the Rocket peppers were the bus trips. To support the teams, the pep club journeyed to Hastings during the football season and to Fairbury during the basketball season.
Guided by Mrs. Beryl Bowlin and Mrs. Dorothy Vifquain, the club had over 200 girls as members.

Hopes for a successful season may rest on the shoulders of the returning lettermen Dana Dillow and Bob Shields. Bob was selected last year for the allcity golf team by the local papers.
Friday, April 27, the golf team captured the Mid-East Conference crown. Bob Shields was medalist.
