0Nly A QUARTER •••

Get out the silver, cut the cake, and throw the confetti, it's Southeast's 25th anniversary!

Big deal, right? Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. To some students, school is school, and how long Southeast has been around really doesn't matter. To others, school is the center of most activities, so the fact that this was the silver year makes everything that much more special. Of course, there are all those whose opinions fit some_ where in between, but whether students took interest in it or not, the anniversary still remained the focus of many projects and themes throughout the year.

Some were caught up in the festivities, while others responded with an uninterested yawn, or shrug of the shoulder. Feelings were varied, but the fact remained the same. Southeast first opened its doors 25 years ago.

On Sept. 12, 1955, 652 junior and senior high school students walked into a building that cost over $1.8 million. Only a quarter of a century later, that same school had doubled in size, and in value.

With a price ·tag of over $3 million , it is hard to imagine that Southeast could be worth much more. However, just as the value of a human being cannot be determined by its chemical make-up , neither can the value of Lincoln Southeast High School be measured by its structural make-up.

Once the school is filled with people, that million dollar figure becomes insignificant. it would be an impossible task to place a price on the emotions, abilities, goals , and achievements, of all those who are or have been a part of Southeast.

Some may only look at the face value of Southeast, and mistake it for being worth less than it really is , but it also may be those same people who mistook the Susan B. Anthony silver dollar as being worth only a quarter.

Jitterbug turns disco

It is hard to imagine that in Southeast's history, there was a time when . . . . getting a job wasn't very important, and few students had them.

King's Food Host was the local hang out.

. . . the jitterbug was the most popular dance . . . . Pep Club limited its membership to seniors and over 200 girls joined.

on the day of a football game, pep dubbers didn't even question wearing their uniforms all day, even if it meant wea ring them downtown to go shopping.

the football team didn't make a single point until its fifth game of the season.

girls sports were prohibited by the School Board.

Especially now, since in 1980 ... . students are more job and money oriented. . . . several pizza places and fast food joints serve as the meeting grounds for different types of students.

dances continue to move to the disco beat. Pep Club is open to any girl interested, and membership runs around 100. only a few Pep Club uniforms spot the halls on game days.

. . . everyone expects the football team to excel. girls sports attract as many participants as boys sports.

Discomfort welcomes students

Temperatures in the 90's, freshly painted lockers, the smell of tar, and a constant pounding of workmen's tools were among the things that welcomed students to Southeast on the first day of school.

The first day of school. Those five words were dreaded by most sophomores and came as a relief from the monotonous last days of summer vacation for many juniors and seniors.

It was a day of numbers and cards. Every period, students filled out the same information on color-coded cards again and again.

As teachers tried to pronounce the

names of their pupils, students tested out their teachers to see how much they could or could not get away with. They did not find it humorous when some teachers gave assignments to be due the next day.

It was also a day for reaquaintances with old friends, and the uncomfortable anticipation of whether or not there would be a familiar face in the next class.

Sophomores, juniors and seniors faced the reality that school was starting again long before that first day arrived. With three weeks of summer still remaining, everyone received a friendly letter from the administration containing informa-

against the morning sun , students waited in line to check out lockers. Due to a shortage of lockers , many students tried to get a place in line early to insure having one for the upcoming school year

A reverse giant on the high bar is executed by Doug Ely during the first week of gymnastics practice while coach Brad Manard and other team members admire his technique

tion about locker check -outs , the first practices of fall sports , the sophomore pep rally , and schedule changes.

This one piece of paper triggered many into the pre -school rituals of catching up on those things they had piled up over the summer, shopping for back -to-school bargains, and planning what would be appropriate to wear on the first day of school.

After that first day of hum-drum activities and repetitive announcements, some were glad to be getting back into the swing of high school life. Some , on the other hand, longed for more days of summer.

Sophomores reported to the south gym on Aug 27, the first day of school to rece ive schedules from Frank Dupuis and other teachers des ignated to hand them out.

On the first hot days of school , many teachers opened their windows so that the humid a ir could at least circulate. Along with the air , however , fumes of tar and the noises of construction workers were only made more apparent. The combination of heat, tar, and constant pounding from above , made studying condit ions less than ideal.

Rainstorms postpone festivities

As the rain came down on the fourth of July, many picnic baskets and golf clubs were put back into the closets, the fireworks at Holmes Lake were cancelled and party-goers resorted to celebrating indoors.

It was the same stormy weather that forced a record crowd to go home from one showing at the Pinewood Bowl musical, "Annie Get Your Gun" during intermission

Rain wasn't all that fell last summer. Skylab also came down, but its drops were quite different than those of a summer shower.

As Skylab fell , gas prices soared to almost $1 per gallon, and cars lined up at service stations in unusual numbers.

While summer headlines followed these and other national events, some

students remained content by following the continuing story of "All My Children" or other soap operas.

Some enjoyed the chance to relax by watching T. V., going to the pool or spending time with friends. Others saw summer as an opportunity to put in more hours at work, to continue their education through enrolling in summer classes or clinics, or taking school related trips . Sports-minded students continued to compete in golf and tennis tournaments, to compete in swim meets, horse shows, and baseball games.

Whether students had lazy or busy summers, they all had one thing in common. When that three month recess was over, they all faced nine more months of getting up five days a week to go to school.

HI-----------------------------------------------------------------

Unwelcome alarm brings rude awakening

7 a.m., alarm rings . 7:04, Mom screams upstairs ... 7:09, Fido bounds through the door and leaps onto the bed, even though you're still in it. 7:11, you don't want to get out of bed, so you decide to contract a disease such as a mild case of mono , but remember that you already tried that excuse on your parents last Monday and it didn't work.

By 7: 15 you finally realize that you might as well get up and get ready for another day at school. Besides, today your face is almost blemish free.

Now that the hardest part is over, the

rest should be easy. You discover, however, that most of your wardrobe is still in the machine you neglected to turn on last night. .

Frantically searching through drawers and closets, the only article of clothing you come across is a pair of early 70's button down jeans in a box marked Goodwill Swallowing your pride and your social !ife, you put them on anyway and head to the kitchen for breakfast. Hopefully DECA will be selling donuts this morning because all you can find to eat are stale Nacho Cheese Doritos and cold pizza.

Gotto getup

Breakfast is what is on senior Karen Ramsey's mind A good breakfast supplies energy for a long school day

On the way to school students race down the hill from "C" lot to get to class on time On the way back up the hill , however, a leisurely pace is more common

Charging out the door with your notebooks, you jump in the driver's seat, praying that today isn't the morning that the car decides to take a holiday and not start.

The race isn't over yet. You must make it to school without maiming people, damaging property, or getting stopped by the friendly partolmen who seem to be drawn to the school like magnets

To top off the morning, the only place to park is farther away from the building than your house is. Scrambling down the

hill from 'C' lot with only 1 minute 40 seconds until your first period class begins, gives you a perfect opportunity to get in an early morning workout.

One final test of endurance remains -trying to get to your class in a hall where everyone else is going in the opposite direction. It's the survival of the fittest as you dodge feet and flying notebooks.

At last the door is iri sight. Rushing through it with the sound of the bell, you slump into the seat just in time to say "here."

"IO," "Breaking Away ," " Life of Brian ," and " Amityville Horror" are some fall movies which attracted long lines for weekend showings. However, at $3 per person, more people tended to look for less expensive entertainment.

Parents scowl at Knights stumbling

After a high school student completed the evening's antics, she stumbled up the front steps and tripped over the newspaper. the newspaper? She checked her watch; it was 5 a.m. As she quietly opened the door, she noticed her dad at the top of the stairs with a tired scowl across his face. "Oh well, who cares if I'm grounded for life," she thought, and hopefully Dad would forget by next weekend.

The weekend is a time to relax and relieve the tensions built up from the weekday routine. There are a number of ways that a Southeast student fulfills the above goal.

Some nights it's good just to stay home and watch "Fantasy Island," eat popcorn, and finally catch up on homework that has been piljng up. Other evenings it's following a barely decipherable map to an all-school keg in the country.

Students opinions vary on what they consider a "good time" as much as they vary in personality.

A "fun evening" can be with a small gathering of good friends to talk over the week's gossip, finally getting a date with Mr. or Ms. Right, or the perfect party with free beer and a fairly decent band.

Sporting events, school dances, movies, concerts, cruising and roller-

skating also attract many Southeast students. Yet, people often complain of boredom. Students are always looking for something more exciting and different to do.

For many, the weekend is an excellent time to catch up on everything that has been put off during the week, such as washing the car, cleaning the house, or just catching up on sleep Others, however, fill up their weekends by putting in extra hours at work. For the. most part, students tend to keep themselves busy on the weekends which explains the tired looks teachers often receive on Monday mornings

Homelife connotes relaxation

homely (home-le) adj I: lacking in beauty or proportion 2: the state of not being able to get a date for prom for three consecutive years.

homework (home-werk) n I : an assignment given to a student to be completed outside of the classroom 2: something you have to do when you would rather be doing something else.

homicide (home-sid) n I: a killing of one human being by another. 2: what students feel like doing to teachers who pile on the homework.

home runn. I: a hit in baseball that enables the batter to make a complete circuit of the bases and score a run. 2: what boys seem to concern themselves with on dates.

home (horn) n 1: a family's place of residence. 2: the place you can't wait to go to after a long day at school.

The definition of the word home cannot stress the central importance it plays in the lives of most Southeast students, even if one includes all its derivatives. Home besides just being a place to eat and sleep, is a place where there is always a bed to make, a dinner to fix, or a little brother to babysit.

A fully stocked refrigerator, a good movie on T V., and a little free time can · make for a pleasant evening spent at home. A chat with the family or the planning of a holiday get together is another enjoyable way Southeast students spend their time at home.

Time, however, is the key word. Club meetings, swim practices, work, and a variety of other events can keep students out of the house If the other activities are not enough, there is always homework to keep students busy and up late.

After a long day, the idea of going home usually sounds great even if it just means relaxing and going to sleep.

Religious ideas are diverse

There's a strange creeping feeling that can overcome a person who has been at an airport or bus station too long. One just knows at any minute some Moonie or Hare Krishna is going to swoop down and try to talk him out of all his worldly assets. For those who are easily intimidated this can really be a bad deal. If nothing else, the halls of Southeast can offer a sanctuary to those plagued with this phobia.

Southeast tries to be impartial when it comes to religion, but this is hard to do when religion plays such an integral part in most students' lives. In a Shield survey 6 7 percent of students polled indicated that religion was important or very

important in their lives.

The majority of Southeast students are Christians according to the survey, but there are still a wide range of differing religions and ·differing Christian sects. There are students who claim to be Catholics, Lutherans , Baptists, Methodists , Jehovah's Witnesses, Jews, Unitarians, Seventh -day Adventists, and Christian Scientists to name just a few. Other students claim they are individualists, agnostics, atheists, and a few profess they believe in witchcraft. Seventy-seven percent of Southeast students hold the same beliefs as their parents and another 8 percent of the students claim they hold some of their parents' religious beliefs .

Students differ in their belief that Southeast is impartial and open minded about all religions.

· "I think Southeast is pretty open minded about religions You never hear anybody saying I won ' t talk to you because you're a Lutheran ," senior Kyle Greer said.

Another sen ior , Ellen Brisch, agreed and said, " I thi nk Sou t heast is impartial mainly because I don ' t have any reason to believe otherwise. "

Senior Neil Trabert held a different view. " They allow Christian oriented assemblies sponsored by Campus Life but they would never allow an assembly sponsored by the Moonies ," he said .

"I don't feel it's right to have Christmas trees and decorations in school," senior Zillie Bahar said. "We have many of our holidays centered around the Christian religion yet we're not all Christians. With the separation of church and state I don't think they should go as far as subjugating the whole student body to Christmas decorations. I don't think you could call this impartial." · Religion is allegedly one of those subjects that is not to be discussed yet it is a topic that interests most people . Comments ranged from, "I hate religion," to questions l ike, "Do Jews have Thanksgiving?"

Working tends to be a bummer

After a long day at school, running home to change into a gaudy outfit to go fry french fries can seem a bit absurd. The worst part, however, is friends who think that they are really funny and come up to the counter singing "Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce." Unfortunately, it still hasn't crossed their minds that this is McDonalds, not Burger King.

Besides sometimes being embarrassed, working, in general, can be a bummer. The long "on your feet" hours selling clothes, pumping gas, or waiting on tables, makes the body feel like it could use a hit of Geritol or some support hose.

The teenager also tends to be the lowest form of life in the working world

Many are called into work just as they've made plans to go to a good party or to finish their piles of homework.

Being on the job, however, may not be as hard as finding one. Everyone looks for that ideal job at $5 an hour, no work, and a "please feel free to do your homework and have a snack" type atmosphere. Unfortunately, there aren't many of these jobs available. So, after stomping all over town, many students settle for working at gas stations, restaurants, grocery stores, department stores , or when desperate, babysitting.

Having a job, however, isn't all that bad. First of all, the bucks are simply a necessity for many. Pay scales rise according to experience, job difficulty,

skill, and seniority. Some jobs have better working conditions, some better pay , and others just have better people to work with.

Jobs also provide Southeast students with a way to meet new peop le outside the school, and to gain valuable experience.

Working may also give students a .chance to get a feel for possible future careers by getting a job such as a nurse's aid in a hospital, or as a receptionist to a business , or to a lawyer. Working can also fill up a schedule that's too empty, or cool the embarrassment of not going to prom by being able to say, " Well, I could have gone , but I had to work."

The gas shortage shortened hours for many service station employees Still , the ma jority of " 400's " workers are high school students like Randy Deahn.

A New York City trip could become a reality for Jan Berkebile after saving money from two years of work at Famous Footwear. Berkeb ile works to cover everyday expenses as well.

"I'd like to rent a pair of skates for an hour, please."

"Okay, I'll need your driver's license and your signature right here."

"How much will that be?"

"It's $2.50 an hour, but you pay when you get back. Have fun and be careful."

It's true. It is possible to rent roller skates and use them to skate around on the sidewalks downtown. As the new roller skating fad swept people off their feet, and in more ways than one, others still participated in their favorite sports.

Even though Southeast has a very strong and highly recognized athletics program, many students participate in other activities, or "me sports" on their own time. These range from frisbee to racquetball, including jogging, biking, skiing, skateboarding, hiking and any other sport that people enjoy spending their time doing.

The large interest in jogging began in the late 1970's and has shown no signs of fading away. It is a good way to stay in shape and is also a very important part of most training programs of school related sports. For some, running provides for a type of natural high, for it brings them closer to nature. In honor of the great number of joggers, a Wilderness Park Fun Run was held on Saturday, Oct. 13, which was also National Jogger's Day.

Biking has always been very popular and has become very economical, as well. With gas prices reaching a dollar a gallon and continually rising, for many it's the only affordable alternative. For others, though, riding a bike is just an easy way to relax and have a good time.

Along with the popularity of tennis, a new interest in racquetball is rising. The opening ofWallbanger's and The Sports' Courts have prompted the success of racquetball, for special courts are needed to play the game. ·

While all the previously listed sports are basically thought of as being done in the nicer months (April-October), there is one sport that is done best right in the middle of winter, and that is snow skiing. While some students "hit the slopes" with their families, many take advantage of the group-discount rates offered for trips set up through schools, churches, and other outside groups.

Involvement in these sports can provide for much fun and good health for those who have extra time and who aren't ready for the devotion it takes to participate in a school related sport. Even those on team sports need a change of pace now and then .

Sports suit individuals

It's better to have your feet , not your seat , on the snow as Cathy Welte well knows Still , that doesn ' t stop her and many others from going skiing during semester break.

Rolling around downtown has become a favorite pastime for many people of all ages Crowds wait patiently as they rent or turn in their roller skates Touch, don 't tackle That's the name of the game.

Plunging into play

Boogie Knight is no fantasy

A mild mannered senior named Millicent Cords never made it to a homecoming dance, a turkey trot, or even a publication's dance. Her mom told her she was a wall flower, but she thought of herself as more of a weed. Thoughts of prom filled her mind even though it was only the beginning of December. She knew that this year was her last chance; she had to have a date to Prom . Millicent began to grow detached; she no longer cared what she was having for dinner. Her mind was flooded with thoughts of the turnabout dance. "If only I could be assertive just this once," Milli-

cent thought. There was a guy in her 4th period sociology class who had played football and caught her eye. Millicent knew he hadn't played more than 5 minutes for the entire season, but he'd do. "What would Mrs. Marvin Mead sound like?" she wondered.

Marvin was not completely thrilled when Millicent came to pick him up for turnabout. At least she is good for a dinner, he thought consolingly. He was expecting the worst. Marvin was pleasantly surprised when millicent came to the door, however. She didn't look as overweight as she did at school. They

found they could even carry on a conversation without resorting back to "What 's your favorite group?" Marvin and Millicent were like a match made in heaven, or so they thought. Together they went to all the club sponsored dances in the spring , right up to Prom

Millicent just knew Marvin would ask her to Prom. She had already bought her dress. Waiting by the phone night after night, Millicent became depressed and despondent for it never rang . A week before Prom she found out that Marvin had asked a girl who had been a cheerleading finalist.

The Millicent-Marvin fantasy may not be true for all Southeast students, but somedays it kind of rings true. Dances gave students a chance to socially interact and also they provided a source of entertainment. Clubs sponsor dances to provide a source of income. Some dances brought in over · $200, while another dance put the club sponsoring it $18 behind . Pr ices usually ranged from $1 to $1 50 The facts don ' t seem to matter that much , however , when Prom rolls around again and you still haven ' t found a date.

Coming up with a br ight idea for the Key Club Carn ival is Connie Mathews. Gett ing the c arnival planned was the ma in item on the mee t ing 's agenda

Service didn't dunk spirits

Bizarrely dressed, Mary Schroeder allowed herself to be thrown in a swimming pool, while another senior, Julie Rask, paraded around in a 1920' s hit man outfit. Still, senior Brent Alby didn ' t even let a pie thrown in his face dull his spirits.

At first glance Southeast students might appear to have had some sort of severe problems. But after a closer inspection the 15th annual Key Club Carnival was no problem at all.

The carnival took hard work and long hours to plan. The planning began in September and in the following weeks Key Club members communicated with other clubs, planned the concessions, and set ticket prices . Many clubs contributed to the effort by sponsoring booths like the Spanish Club cake walk and the SynkraKnight jail.

The carnival was held from 7 p.m.-10 p.m on Oct. 24, and in just three hours over $400 was made In previous years, the money made went to sponsoring AFS students here at Southeast. This year, however, Southeast does not have an AFS student so half the money went toward the . community Thanksgiving basket project and the other half went into the Southeast 25th anniversary fund.

Besides just being "the club that holds that carnival" Key Club is a service organization affiliated with the downtown Kiwanis Club. Their main goal, "service," is carried out by involving members in the community.

Key Clubbers have helped the elderly by playing cards with them, they have rung bells for charity at Christmas and have been involved with improving the environment through painting bathrooms and trash barrels.

"Our goal of service is no problem to carry out since we have fun with our projects. Plus we get a real feeling of accomplishment out of it," President Tracy Schainost said.

Watch out when seniors Anne Danek and Kathy Fischer sneak up from behind They both seemed to find their work as pie hit -men fulfilling

Playing up to the aud ience are seniors Oscar Long , Mike Wolfe , and Scott Spence. Representing Southeast's mime troup , they performed at the carnival.

Pep rallies, ~n ,_

new mascot boost spirit

"At the end of this transition will everyone directly involved in the pep rally please proceed to the North gym

On a typical game day, the "box" can be heard blaring the instructions to students and faculty regarding the pep rally.

Cheerleaders, the new Mascot, pep club, and pep rallies influenced this year's spirit and caused it to swell.

Pep rallies again carried out the tradition of using themes as did las t year's. The themes organized the rallies and made them more versitile so that each rally was not identical. A few of the themes used were: wes tern rally, fifties day rally , reserve rally , and the switch rally where cheerleaders and drill team members switched roles.

For each fall and winter season five pep rallies were allowed; Two afternoon rallies and three in the morning. For the spring sports only two were issued.

The exception for the number of pep rallies was in the case of sporting events going into state competition. Then an additional rally was allowed.

A new element was added to boost the spirit of Southeast fans The role of the first mascot , a Knight in shining armor , is assumed by John Gradwhol.

G radwhol, a former yell king , made a spark of an idea into a reality The idea was invented last year by the yell kings when they toyed with the thought of having a mascot by wrapping themselves with tin foil suits of armor.

Before G radwhol could create a reality from the idea , he was required to get permission from Larry Eaton, vice -principal, and athletic director, Bill Miller.

After receiving their okay, G radwhol went to discuss the idea with Principal Wesley Lauterbach . They pondered upon purchasing a couple pieces at a time but the great enthusiasm lead to buying the whole thing at once .

Pep Club no cheap activity

Approximately $10,150 was doled out by enthusiastic pep dubbers and parents for this year's new pep club uniforms.

The uniforms consist of a well tailored black and gold sweater, the same black skirt, a pair of discount black shoes, and embroidered year emblem, and a pair of black and gold socks.

"The new pep club socks caused some confusion but after a few sock-wearing pep club sessions, everybody got the hang of it," said Dee Dee Hughes, secretary of Pep Club .

After paying for the Pep Club uniforms, members were required to pay dues which began at $3 and increased as the year continued.

The dues were collected and compiled in the Pep Club treasury which provided for two main events.

The majority of the Pep Club treasury paid for the printing and purchasing of evary award given by Southeast to students and organizations. Although the club was not responsible for the actual ordering and choosing, they did provide the capital.

The Pep Club officers were elected last year and were presented with their responsibilities,

The first major task taken on by the officers was the organizing of the Pep Club picnic at Pioneer's Park for the new members.

At the beginning of the school year the constitution was partially rewritten in order to keep the style of the uniforms current and the point system was reevaluated by the officers.

A large part of the officers' responsibility was to keep track of the members' points and to keep in touch with the signs chairmen and Porn Pon S Club members.

Porn Pon S, a group of 17 spirited pep dubbers, performs at every pep rally and Varsity sport event that the band attends.

At these events the girls sit in the formation of an "S" and go through the 14 traditional routines.

"The routines are carried on through the years and any new material is made up by the members ," Lori Shields, president of the Porn Pon S, said.

We 'v e got spirit , yells Pep Club in the spirit line as they await the players to burst through the spirit line at the Southeast vs. East football game.

SPIRIT·S~ Silver year sets mood U') for dance -c

"Will I h a v e a dat e ?" was the inevitable question that caused mass panic to set in as the first major dance of the year, Homecoming, drew near. The anxiety was resolved Oct. 12 when students were either elated by the thrill of having a date to homecoming, or had to plan something else that evening.

Spirit week began the homecoming festivities. Pep dubbers recognized the fall athletes by decorating the halls and lockers with signs. Since this was also the last chance to catch a date, people's attire and attendance to class suddenly improved. On the day of the dance a fifties pep rally was held at school. The rally generated spirit for the game or at least gave a break in the school day.

Southeast beat Lincoln High 28-20 to continue their winning tradition. Southeast's first homecoming king and queen, Jack Harvey and Katherine Hess were honored at the half time show to commemorate Southeast's 25th anniversary . It was a perfect way to set the mood for the dance's theme, "A Knight in · the Past."

After the game students rushed home to change into their clothes for the dance or go to a party, dine out, or visit with friends.

The students that attended the d ance found the south gym magically transformed into "A Knight in the Pas t" by means of rainbow colored streamers, balloons and hard work on the part of Pep Club.

Pat Lawlor and Corrine Collins were elected to reign as the king and qu e en of the dance.

Tracy Traudt, homecoming chairperson had the responsibility of choosin g the band, "Natural G as."

The price of the tickets was six dollars a couple, and the danc e began at 9:00 p.m. and continued until midnight.

"People t o ld me it was one of th e best dances th e y had att e nde d at S outh e ast," Pep ·Club Se cretary Dee Dee Hughes

City-champions charge into quarter finals

Contrasting the stereotyped "dumb jock" is the football player who needs intelligence , as well as physical ability to play the game. Over 50 plays must be learned by number and identifiable within seconds , for the plays can change continually, depending on the opposing· team's line -up.

Head coach Chuck Mizerski said, "Most people say it with a jest realizing the intelligence that it takes to play football. "

First year coach Mizerski led his team to a season record of 8-1 and the title of City Champions. They were also TransNebraska co-champions and State quarterfinal qualifiers.

"Southeast is the only other school in Nebraska that I would've left Plattsmouth to come to ," Mizerski added.

The tackles and touchdowns needed for winning were preceded by a lot of practice. Practices started in mid-August and continued almost daily throughout the season The hot afternoon practices consisted of running , lifting weights, learning new plays, and doing drills, some of wh ich were referred to as "suicide drills."

After only about three weeks of practice , the Knights had started on their way , defeating their first three opponents, one

of which was East High School. Southeast is attributed as being the only school that beat East. They were then defeated by Fremont, but bounced back to finish their 8-1 season with only that loss.

With that kind of a season, the Knights deservedly qualified for the State playoffs. The quarterfinal match-ups found them again facing Fremont and though they went to the game with thoughts of revenge, Fremont managed to slip by with a field goal, ending the season and the game 23-20.

Reserves, Sophs .score to successful seasons

Exciting, fantastic and successful were just a few words used to describe the reserve and sophomore football teams this past season.

The reserve team finished with a 6-1 record with the only loss to Lincoln East. Many team members where disappointed at the loss, but all were happy with the six wins.

T earn member Randy Sell said, "Well,' I thought our season was fantastic! A super season. Everybody really enjoyed themselves and worked together as a team . We had a lot of team unity which is really important for a successful team."

The reserves ended the season with a total of 141 points with the opponents' total consisting of a mere 26 points. Sell attributed the large accumulation of points to the strong offensive line. ·

"The offense always came through when we needed it," he said. "Our strong defense was always there also which is

why the other teams scored so little," Sell added.

Three plays were the main causes for the sophomore football team falling short of city champs. Ending the season with a 4-2 -1 record, the 56-member team was two fouled-up kick-off returns and one punt return away from the city championship.

"The team worked very well together and I felt they gave it their all," said coach Jack Gould. The team started practicing Aug. 20 and they worked on blocking techniques, tackling, team work, and drills to improve game strategy.

"Our season included a lot of hard work and practice, but I think the whole team benefited," team member Matt Stevens said.

According to Mike Harvey, "Everyone really got along. There weren't any major problems during the season."

Early mornings lead to second place in state

Up at six to swim some more, blurry eyed from the night before . The water, it's cold, my legs , they ' re like lead, Oh, I wish I was in my soft, warm bed.

-Gayle MacDonald

(from Why do I do this?)

Reasons for getting up at the crack of dawn to go jump into a cold pool of water may be scarce but the girls swim team proved it worthy as they captured second place in the State Championship Meet, missing first place by only six points.

Head coach Steve Nootz was aided by assistant coaches Corene Schwartz and Scott Hinrichs. Schwartz dealt with the swimmers while Hinrichs coached the diving team. The divers were a great asset in the high state placement , having four divers in the top twelve after preliminaries This leading number of divers over the other teams , which were added to the top number of swimmers that qualified in the preliminaries ( 12 in the finals and one in consolation) had Southeast

picked as the number one team going into the finals

The team ' s outstanding ability was shown throughout the whole season, not just at State They won all their dual meets, except that with Millard; which they lost by only 17 points. They placed first in the Ralston Ram Invitational, breaking four records. They also earned the first place honor in the Trans-Nebraska and LPS Relay Meets.

Key individuals led the boys' varsity Tennis T earn to a long awaited state championship, backed by much team · depth and confidence "I knew we could win State if we all tried our hardest and worked together," team member Charlie Capek said.

Along with the State title, the reserves and varsity teams both finished their seasons with good records. Varsity finished with a 9-1 record, along with winning Trans-Nebraska and State titles. Reserves also faired well, finishing with a record of 3-5. They also placed in the LPS city meet.

The team did have one problem, however, that had to do with the courts. Due to the size of the courts at Southeast, the varsity members were forced to practice and play their meets at Woods Coach George Eisle didn't feel that transportation or unfamiliarization of the courts were problems, yet he said, "The location c·aused a lack of support and every team needs support."

Junior Craig Johnson finished his individual season with only one loss, competing in singles. This terrific season brought him to win the first place honor in singles competition at state. Referring to this accomplishment, Johnson said, "One of the highlights of my season was winning state as a team and as an individual."

Undefeated season tees off to a State title

"State champions." These words say it all about this year's girls golf team. The team went to the state playoffs undefeated with high expectations and victory in mind at Omaha Benson Park Golf course on October 18.

Diane Frost, first year coach, had little idea of what the season held when she started with only three returning lettermen. As it turned out, Frost had little to worry about as the season went on and the Knights remained undefeated. "The girls worked on their own all summer, and when the season began, they were ready for competiton. They had an ex-

cellent year!,;

Hard practice is an essential part of winning. The practices were usually held at Holmes Park, Monday through Friday from three to six after school. Experience is also extremely helpful, according to Frost. "A person has to have the desire to want to be good in order to compete well," she said.

Mental and physical qualities are very important in a golf game. Concentration, desire and relaxation are some important mental qualities. Hand and eye coordination, distance judgement and rhythm are important physical qualities.

At state, Kim Davis took second place with a score of 88, while Donna Meyer shot a 91, placing 4th. Cindy Magee shot a 93 taking 7th place, Lori Mills with a 95, tieing for 11th place and sophomore Amy Sundberg shot a 96 placing 12th.

Senior Kim Davis said, "We were really happy with the way state came out. We would have liked to have won by a little more, but we're not complaining.

Frost has high expectations for the team next year. "Everyone is returning except for Kim Davis, so I'm expecting a strong returning team."

Team score exceeds coaches projections

"Go Bananas, B-A-N -A-N-A-S "

This phrase had a dual meaning for the boys gymnastics team. As tradition, and like it is used in the cheer, it meant to go wild and crazy , and to get going.

It also, however, began to refer to the boys themselves, resulting from their new warm up jackets. These bright yellow jackets prompted people to jokingly refer to the boys on the team as bananas.

To play up the comparison, head coach Brad Manard awarded "success bananas" (bananas with the word success written on them) to the gymnasts at State if he felt they did an exceptional job.

Leading up to State , they won all of their dual meets and placed no lower than third in meets competing with more than two teams. Earning first place in their district left them very optimistic about ·

the team's perform.ance at State.

This optimism was proven worthy at State, where they captured third place, behind only Omaha Northwest and Lincoln East, respectively

Their success was a prime example of the old saying, practice makes perfect, for practice they did A good part of the summer was devoted to gymnastics by most of the team. A few members spent about three weeks at a gymnasts camp called Camp Tsukara in Minnesota

The end of July brought many gymnasts, girls and boys, to a clinic held at Southeast. The multi-purpose room at Southeast was also open to gymnasts most of the summer to practice and was supervised by Manard. So, even though their season started in August , they had, in a sense, already finished half of it

New team, new coach, improved season

"Set-up, now go for the slam!" were commands frequently hear being yelled at the Southeat volleyball team members. Coached by Mary Sampson and Nancy Johnson, the team completed their Varsity season with a 6-12 record. The Reserves finished their season with a 5- 7 record.

"The team worked extremely hard this year. We practiced hard and really put forth our best effort to make the season a fun and well-played one," said senior Sherrie Hanneman.

The volleyball team along with the other fall teams began practice on August

20. Practices were held once a day throughout the season.

"During the season, the team received a better turn-out of fans. Support on the part of the band, cheerleaders, and Pep Club also helped boost the team spirit. We look forward to even more support next year," said junior varsity member Janet Meyers.

Looking over the season, senior varsity member Karen Chapman said, "We appreciate all the support, our team was a super one, and we really worked together well. It was a good, learning season."

All alone, junior reserve member Stacey Raycraft reaches for the sky to return a shot from a Fremont opponent. Southeast defeated Fremont with game scores of 15-13, 15-2.

Churchill keeps them running

It's a test of endurance, a drive for selfsatisfaction; it's an accomplishment of team success. They call it the cross country team.

With only one returning letterman, Jon Powell, it was hard to have high expectations for a strong team, but that didn't stop anyone. Many juniors and sophomores committed themselves to the team.

"We've got some real workers. A lot of talent that needs just a little polishing around the edges," Coach Roy Churchill said

Most of the meets were held at Pioneers Park on a 2½ mile course· At each home meet all runners could participate, whereas at away meets seven varsity and seven reserves are taken. The team score is computed by totalling the scores of the first five runners from each school. The school with the lowest score wins the meet.

At the state meet in Kearney, the team didn't fair as well as it had hoped, but the members' expectations did not exceed their abilities.

Junior member Matt Joeckel said,

"Considering all of the adversity that confronted the team, I think we did the best job possible. Although we didn't win, I'm satisfied with the season."

TEAM: Front Row:

Goal-oriented individuals work as a team

"It was one of the toughest schedules that we've had in years!" was said with admiration as well as disappointment by Wally McNaught, head coach of the varsity boys basketball team. He realized this as he looked at the point totals for wild cards in State.

Southeast was not at the top of the list, yet was a contender for a wild card. McNaught accredited this in saying, "I feel that we've had some degree of success, yet we've had some disappointments by losing in overtimes. The loss to Burke hurt, also." ·

Goal-oriented describes the team itself and the individuals. The main team goal was to play well together and thus get to State. Individually, rebounds, field goal percentages, free throws, keeping turnovers down and averaging five points per game were worked on.

The team consisted of 12 members, and looked to its four returning lettermen for their added help, especially three-year letter earners Craig Sundberg and Bill Weber.

The season began on the right foot with Southeast winning their first game against Beatrice. Then they lost to F remont, but bounced back and beat North Platte, Northeast, and Westside. A loss to Grand Island by only one basket was next, yet they recovered by winning the games against Norfolk, Hastings, Millard, and Omaha North. Losing to Omaha Burke was unfortunate, but their confidence was boosted again as they topped Bellevue West, Lincoln High, and Columbus. After leading at half, the Knights ended the game by losing to East and then finished their season with a win over Omaha Gross.

Trying seasons prepare for future successes

Improvement, preparation, orientation, progress and experimentation are words that have been used to describe this season's reserve and sophomore basketball teams.

Sophomore coach J. R. Connell commented, "Our developmental progress was designed to prepare the athletes to play at the varsity level. We tried to give them the fundamentals, so when on junior varsity or on the varsity level, so they know what is expected of them "

Although their records did not illustrate the learning experience that the teams and coaches felt the team gained, most were satisfied with the way the season was played.

"I was kind of dissapointed, probably because we had a lot more potential than we showed. We did have fun though," sophomore reserve member Scott Stacy said.

Reserves played a total of 16 games and placed 4th in city. The practices were held after school from 2:15 to 4:15 p.m. The team's determination and eagerness to win was well appreciated by fans with support coming from parents, pep club, fellow basketball players, and the band.

"It was great to have so much support. It just gave us more desire to play our best and to win," reserve member Darin League said.

The sophomore team played an

average schedule of 12 games against other Lincoln teams and some Omaha teams.

"The season has progressed as I had expected it to Early in the season , you begin with junior high kids that haven't played much together, so you've got to orientate them to the Southeast system of basketball," Connell said.

Many commented on the noticeable improvement the sophomore team expressed during the last half of the season. Connell attributed it to the team's • maturation and working together as more of a refined ball club and having learned to work together as a team

Girls, new coach aim at reorganization

It's not always the final score that determines a winning season, as it was with the girls varsity and reserve basketball teams this year. New coach John Larsen aimed his goals toward reorganization and therefore had a winning season of improvement rather than games

As many as 45 girls tried out in early November and the selection was narrowed down to 15 reserve and 12 varsity members. The varsity was faced with one of the toughest schedules in the state, confronting 7 of the top 10 teams. With a new coach and the tallest person being only 5'10", the team had no idea what the season had in store for them.

"My main goal was to start a winning tradition and to defeat a Lincoln team Because of our tough schedule, it was hard to achieve our goals, but I'm completely satisfied by the hard work from the team," Larsen said.

"The best part about this team is that they have been the hardest working group of people I've had, as far as practice goes, and going out to play a good game, I'm really proud," Larsen said.

Senior varsity ·member Sherrie Hanneman said, "Our record was really poor, however, we played to the best of our ability. The most important thing is that we had a lot of fun and it paid off in the long run."

Passing down court, reserve team member Cori Amend keeps the ball in action during the East game.

According to many, the highpoint of the season for the reserves was the beating Lincoln High , a tough Lincoln team. With an average height of 5'4", and only two returning starters, it wasn't easy to tell how the season would turn out, according to reserve coach Janet MacNeill. The team was composed of seven juniors and eight sophomores . " Despite the fact we had a lot of poten-

tial, it was hard for the sophomores to get the feel for what was going on," MacNeill said. "We worked well as a team. We had to since we lacked any outstanding individuals. Skill was the thing that was missing."

Larsen said, "With the returning players we have, next year we'll have an excellent chance of improving our record."

Swimmers stick like glue

Cohesivenessss which comes from a bottle of glue can make great locker signs, but the cohesive bond found in the boy's swim team produced much, much more, including the team support needed to win all their dual meets and place highly in State.

Head coach Bill Flory, who began coaching at mid-season after the resignation of Steve Nootz, said, "They not only swim together, but they go to basketball games, eat dinner, and lots of other stuff together. They're just real good friends, so when meets come around they all want to see each other do well."

Senior tri-captain Pat Lawlor said, "We've become just like a family because we're together for about five hours a day sometimes. I think our team is really unique in that sense."

They did do exceptionally well as they once again had an undefeated dual season, won Trans Nebraska, placed second in the Ralston Relays and at the Westside Invitational, and placed 3rd at State.

This outstanding record illustrates the smoothness of the change from Nootz to Flory. Flory attributes this to his past experience as a swimmer, a "really neat team" of guys, and his age, for he said, "I could relate to the kids." He also added that, "getting their confidence built up in me was tough at first. The seniors, for example, had had Steve Nootz for twoand-a-half years. After a while though, that was all settled."

For many years, Westside has been the continuous rival of the swimmers. They managed to outscore Southeast in the University of Nebraska Invitational, the Ralston Relays, and the Westside Invitational.

An important part of winning for swimming, as for any other sport, is the psyching-up. For the boys swim team, however, it consists of some painful and awkward actions. In particular, shaving down proves to be the most cumbersome. A number of the boys shaved their legs before the Trans-Nebraska meet, mostly those who were still hoping to make times needed to qualify for State. The rest of the team shaved down right before the State meet and almost all got haircuts to please any father.

The swimmers were not alone in their success, as the divers had a wonderful season of high placings. Much importance was put on the divers in meets that were at all close, because their scores are tallied together with the swimmers.

The team was coached by Brad Manard and consisted of three seniors, one junior and one sophomore. Seniors Brian Hetrick, Steve Keetle, and junior Martin Gibbens alternatingly took turns capturing first place. Those remaining always followed close behind in place rankings .

·Best year breaks records

A dust pan and broom would have been very helpful to the girls gymnastics team, for the team continually broke records this season. In the Grand Island dual meet, the team scored 124.35, topping the school record. Then in their last dual meet against Lincoln High, they outdid themselves, scoring over .125. They also claimed the City Championship Title for the first time ever.

The most outstanding achievement of the season was a first place in State for the team. Many individuals were also outstanding. Senior Kim Davis captured first on floor, Cindy Remmers gained third place on the uneven bars, and allaround sophomore Karen Johnson wrapped it up with a first on beam, second on floor, and a second place in the all-around competition.

These high scores were the result of a very strong team with great depth. Some gymnasts practiced as much as 3½ hours a day. Along with the regular two hour practices, this was made possible by having seventh period and after open. This time was supervised by Brad Manard who helped out the team in his spare time. Seven returning letter persons and the adddition of four able sophomores created the depth, while two reserve members were always prepared to fill-in.

Head coach Lavonne Uffelman added,

"Every member on our team is equally important. They've all filled in for each other at one time or another and it has shown up only slightly in the score."

"The floor is our strongest point output and also the event where we have the most team depth," Uffelman said. Assistant coach Bob Cass exemplified this, saying, "We have more competition between team members than we do against other schools (on floor). Everyone has a fine ability in the sport and competing for places in meets is difficult."

Personal goals were met with the girls capturing first place in all events more often than not. T earn goals of winning all dual and major meets were also successfully reached.

Continuous effort plan boosts standings

The unlucky number 13 proved itself false, as this, the 13th year, is the first time in 13 years that the varsity wrestling team has captured the title of CityC hampions. This year's team was also the first to have a winning dual season in years. Consequently, Southeast had seven qualifiers for the State meet, which was more than any other Lincoln school.

Luckily, five of these qualifiers will be back next year. These men , along with other members of the team, fall into accordance with head coach Mick Pierce's plan of continuous effort. Pierce has coached the wrestling team for three years and said, "Each year we get better because of a continuous effort on returning team members and myself."

Pierce is also thankful to have transfers like Carl Sitler and Mike Shoff, whom he feels added to the team success. Shoff was the champion of his heavyweight class quite often, yet he said, "Competition isn ' t as tough in Southeast's class as it was in Auburn's, because there are more wrestlers in class B.

Along with the physical improvement , Pierce felt that the support of wrestling was improved He said, "Support is earning allegiance and as we get better, people are going to recognize us as a good team. Then they'll think it ' s worth wile to come and support us. "

Many factors are needed to win in wrestling. Endurance , which Southeast works most on, strength and technique are a few Psychological aspects are needed as well , for, as Pierce sqid, " Like all other things, wrestling is 99 percent mental." The wrestlers success story comes from combining all these skills and adding to them the fact that they are "quality people who can do good at wrestling ," according to Pierce.

The reserve wrestlers won the major tournaments, the Clark ' s Invitational and the Southeast Invitational. They also successfully had seven champions in the city reserve meet.

Fall, winter season athletes garner awards

Every cloud has a silver lining, and some of the outstanding athletes at Southeast found theirs by receiving various vars ity awards in fall and winter sports.

Ea c h fall and winter after the spor t s have been completed, all varsity coach es in the city and state turn a recommendation sheet of their choices for all-city and all -s tate awards. These awards are gi ven to deserving individuals participating in high school sports. All -city and all -sta t e are given by city newspapers such as Lincoln Journal-Star and the Omaha World Herald , who also have a part in choosing the athletes, according to Bill Miller , Athletic Director at Southeast.

"It's a great honor for the kids to receive such a claim. Athletes who receive these awards are very lucky since college's watch for these types of individuals," Miller said

Along with the all-city and all-state awards, Southeast had its own awards given to athletes for an outstanding job in a certain position, as in football, or for a certain event participated in . The Chuck Potter award is an example. It is an award for the best outstanding linesman in football. Also , the Jerry Winkler award in basketball is another example.

An athlete receives a letter if he or she has completed the requirements in their varsity sport, such as attendance, good citizenship and participation. Anyone who has earned a letter is eligible to join S-club for male athletes, or UWS for fem ale athletes.

UWS has approximately 25 active members and they try to meet once a month , but often run into conflicts because of participation in sports. The club president is Karen Chapman, the vice president is Sherrie Hanneman , and

the secretary-treasurer is Kathy Fisher. Selling concessions at games and meets, and selling basketball pins were the main sources of money making this year.

"We have made a lot of money this year, approximately $800 dollars. We have a lot of fun together and I think it is really a worthwhile activity," said Mimi Kuebler, UWS sponsor.

Approximately 60 people have attended the S-club meetings this year and all participate in money making activities for the club, such as selling programs at all games and sponsoring the annual Bacon Ball in the spring. Most of the procedes go to the $200 scholarship fund given to a selected athlete at the end of the year

The club officers were president, Bill Weber; vice president, Mike Fink ; Secretary, Dave Stacy; treasurer, Ben Norris; and sgt. of arms , Brent Alby.

Service with a smile is an additional aid used by seniors Chris Larson and Kathy Fischer as they earn money for UWS Club

Trophies fill in the window in the front office. Southeast has taken ten of the 17 trophies for city c ompe ti tion

Basketball, bowling boom with participation

While looking back on the many changes that occurred at Southeast during its first 25 years , ironically the consistency of certain aspects are exemplified. One such aspect is the intramurals program, for it has been in existence, basically unchanged, since the opening of the · school.

Of the four publ ic high schools in the city, Southeast is tbe only one to have such a program, -arid yet it proves to be very successful.

Teachers Bill Stevensen and Mimi Kuebler run the three season program which includes volleyball, bowling, flag-

football, basketball, badminton, archery and softball. Volleyball gathered the largest number of teams with co-ed members, while the largest turnout of all male teams was in basketball. Co-ed bowling also had a great turnout of about 45 people.

According to Kuebler, this large interest is accredited to its purpose , which is just, "to let people have a good time in a real relaxed atmosphere with only a slight amount of the competitive spirit."

Kuebler also noted that there has been a greater turnout in past years. In 1969 when she attended Southeast as a stu-

dent, more girls participated in intramurals because there weren't any girls' athletics programs established yet.

lntramurals were offered four days a week, Monday through Thursday, and sometimes on Saturday , depending on the amount of people participating. In the past, one credit in physical education was given to those involved in intramurals. The new graduation requirements still award these credits, yet state specifically that a variety of activities must be involved to fulfull the requirements.

The "shirts" are many while the " skins " are nowhere to be found as junior Todd Thomas , senior Mike Rauscher and sophomore Ken Nass pl ay boys' basketball in intramurals.

Involvement in intramurals involves fast footwork and precise planning , yet provides for much fun as Ron Howard shows

Three strikes and you ' re.not out. Ironically , you ' re probably winning the match , as junior Kim Brown hopes she ' s do ing while bowling at Parkway Lanes through Southeast's Intramural program

Instead of "Bowling for Dollars," these student are bowling for credits By participating in intramurals for one season , tt}ey receive one credit in physical educat i on.

Report cards turn computerized

It is har d to imagine that in Southeast's history, there was a time when students took home hand-written report cards at the end of every six-week period that included grades for scholarship, citizenship, work habits, and attitude

Clarion was published only six times a year the entire school could go to every assembly

. . . the building had a capacity of 750 students and people were overwhelmed with the size of the structure and the facilities

. . . many clubs required that students pass a test in order to become a member.

Especially now, since in 1980 ... computerized report cards with marks for only scholarship and work habits were picked up at the end of the first and third nine-weeks by parents at conferences and mailed at the end of the semester the Clarion staff put out a new issue every other week.

... only a third of the school could fit into the auditorium so assemblies had to be optional, special invitation, or repeated in three time slots even with the addition of the southwest wing, Southeast was still too small to facilitate its 1600 students and people were looking forward to the completion of another addition .

.

. . clubs were less restrictive and almost anyone who wanted to could join

In this second quarter of the book, Shield takes a closer look at the courses offered at Southeast and the clubs, organizations and activities that directly relate to them

The ne w addi t ion , cutting into the office area , joins the main building with the southwest wing , as seen here in the blueprints.

Corne red in by the walls of the new building is an employee of the M W Anderson Construction Company The addition is expected to be completed by the fall of 1980

Addition adds to confusion

It is the beginning of third period and the bell rings. Mrs. Commers begins her daily ritual of taking roll. Three people are already asleep and one more puts his head down. Now Mrs. Commers hands out the long dreaded grammar test which everyone has crammed for for the last five minutes. Trying to keep the facts inside the head seems impossible, but everyone thinks they can do it until all of a sudden a loud crash comes from the roof and for fifty-five minutes no one can hear himself think much less concentrate on adjectives and adverbs.

The sounds of construction fill the classroom; workmen's shouts, violently shaking windows, noisy machines on the roof, and light fixtures vibrating.

Southeast is taking on a new look with the building of a new addition. The addition caused a blocked front driveway, a blocked staircase and the temporary removal of the student lounge.

"It's really been a bother to go all the way down the hall to the other staircase just to get upstairs," said senior Shari Gruenemeyer.

The sickening smell of the tar didn't make the heat at the beginning of school any more tolerable.

Senior Brenda Bowman said, "Having to breathe through that tar wasn't the easiest thing to do, but it must have been worse for the workers who had to be right next to it."

After this school year, every student is probably going to be an expert bricklayer. Sitting in a class where the activity is at a minimum can compel a person to turn his attention outside where the activity is much greater.

An unexpected first snow on Oct. 22 slowed construction and students had to go back to listening to the teachers.

The addition is the first step of a four part plan to enlarge Southeast. The other phases of this plan are adding an auto shop, a new competition sized swimming pool . and the enlargement of the auditorium.

Students shift to ''the basics''

Lab reports, term papers, essays, dittoes, study sheets, in-class assignments, quizzes and homework sum up the whole idea of school-WORK!

All this work is for one purpose and that purpose is to learn. Southeast offers a variety of ways for students to learn.

"I've been here three years and so far I've completed a good college prep schedule plus I've taken some fun, interesting classes as well," senior Lori Demaree said.

A few of the more popular, fun and interesting classes that students take are psychology, modern problems, sociology, health and creative writing.

"I liked taking sociology and modem problems because I learned about lifesomething that I can apply right now," commented senior Stephanie Frazier.

Of course, the teachers add quite a bit to the subject of a class. Students tend to take a certain class simply because the teacher has a good reputation with kids.

Throughout the three years in high school, required classes are part of every student's schedule and tend to be tougher than electives. Surprisingly enough, however, there has been a shift toward taking more of these.

"Academic courses such as math, , English, and science have risen in enrollment whereas the enrollment in business and home ecomomics classes has dropped," Rex Mercer, assistant principal of curriculum said. "There is no real explanation either," he added.

It could be that students are getting back to the basic classes because parents are pushing for the three R's (reading, writing and 'rithmetic), it could be that in a college town such as Lincoln, students are influenced to take the more academic classes, or it could be the simple fact that students are realizing that it's not a bad idea to get a good education while it's still free to prepare for what they pursue after high school.

In any case, the new graduation requirements, which affected this year's sophomores, will try to ensure that every student has this good "basic" education.

Enrollment rises on graph

"Hey, how'd you do on the Pre-Cal test?"

"I bombed! I totally flunked it. How'd you do?"

"Oh, not bad. I got a 23 percent."

T award the end of the semester, as math classes were getting tougher, the grades were getting lower. Yet students

continued to enroll in math even though ten hours was all that was required. According to Harold Baker, head of the math department, there is "definitely a rise in math enrollment, even with a smaller student body there is still a greater number of students taking math."

The reasons for this aren't evident. "It could be the mood of the country, the emphasis of 'back to the basics."' said Baker. -

"Another possibility is that students realize they need a three-year minimum · in math to prepare themselves for most

careers," Baker said.

However, with the rise in math enrollment there wasn't much interest shown in Math Club. Come spring, however, more people joined the club because most contests and competition took place in March and April.

With the new graduation requirements this year a Basic Mathematics Skills Test has been added to the requirements. All sophomores have to take the test before graduation to assure teachers and parents that the students have knowledge of the necessary life skills.

"Well, I'm not gonna do it!"

"Oh, that poor little frog I just can't cut into him."

"I don't care about that. I just hope they don't have green blood!"

When most people think of science classes, they think of disecting, better known as "cutting apart those slimy little worms and frogs."

"I don't mind it if they're already dead," sophomore biology student Tammy Thomas said.

However, science is much more than just disecting frogs and worms. Only 10 credits of science are needed to graduate, which are usually fulfilled in the sophomore year with biology, but most students take more science anyway. Science Club, which was started to

create an interest in science, spent the year taking field trips, two of which were to Harris Laboratories and the planetarium. The club had a party to celebrate Isaac Newton's (Newton is credited for stating the law of gravity) birthday instead of having a Christmas party.

Another club affiliated with the science department is the Indoor Gardening Club. One of their big activities for the year was a plant sale just before Christmas. After the sale, the club members took a trip to Omaha to buy plants to decorate the school.

Other science classes offered are physiology, physics, botany, environmental studies and chemistry.

Social studies, Venture dispel stereotypes

"What has fast moves, has spent many years at the bar and wears tights?"

"A lady of the evening?"

"No. A ballet dancer."

"Who rides a bike, likes t. v. and wears jeans?"

"A student, of course!"

"You're wrong a teacher!"

These are some of the stereotypes which Venture, a sociodrama group portrays through skits. Venture consists of students and teachers from all four Lincoln public high schools.

"We try to illustrate some problems students of all ages have in all school," Linda Tiekotter said, one of the teachers

involved in Venture.

One skit is" As the Sexes Turn," a soap opera in which women and men reverse roles. Other problems Venture deals with in skits are peer pressure, parent communication, drugs, teachers and jobs.

These same problems are dealt with in Southeast's sociology classes. Sociology is one class that can be taken to meet the required credits for Social Studies.

A look through the social studies class offerings would surprise many people. Social Studies consists not only of history classes, but psychology, sociology, economics and Experience Based Career Education (EBCE).

In EBCE a student can find out what different occupations are like by shadowing a person in the community with the jobs the student is interested in. The student does an independent 6-8 week stint with the community. The students interview people of different occupations.

In the ~past, students have shadowed lawyers, doctors, and nurses. One student who shadowed a nurse had the chance to scrub up and go into the operating room.

EBCE used to have a classroom format but lost kids because it was a doubleperiod. This year was the first time it was independent study.

EBCE guidance counselor, LeeAnne Zaroban, talks to Jan Young in her office. S ince EBCE went to Independent Study this year Zaroban can usually be .found in a conference with one student or another.

English full of surprises

The English department was full of surprises this year.

First, in order to improve articulation in a social sort of way with other staff departments, the English department members provided cookies for a staff meeting. Then, it had Principal Wesley Lauterbach call an articulation meeting at which they had planned games to go with each department. Some of the games were "Name That Tune" with the music department, "Twister" for physical education, "Calling All Cars" for Driver's Education, and "Aggravation" for administrators.

But not all the year's activities were social. New minimum English requirements for graduation were implemented for this year's sophomores. Juniors and seniors are required to have 20 credit points of English consisting of 10 credits of English 10, and then 10 credits by choice. But sophomores must take English 10, one semester of literature, and one semester of communication skills

which includes speech, creative writing, grammar or journalism, to name a few, according to Mary Commers, English department chairperson.

Students are taking more and more composition and grammar in the past two years because of counselor encouragement and preparation for college.

Commers said that she thinks English is important because, "no matter what you do after high school, you're going to have to write and speak."

Creative Writing Club (Round Table) is one way to take your interest further. It is "writers talking to writers," according to sponsor Mara Murphy. The club tries to promote writing by sponsoring a creative writing contest each year.

Murphy was also the Runes sponsor. Runes is a creative writing magazine. The staff meets third quarter to put out the magazine Any student can submit prose or poetry. The staff then selects which writings will appear in the magazine.

Staffs under pressure

Room 271 served as a journalism classroom, a Clarion newsroom, a Shield workroom, a lunch room, a party room, and at times a battlefield.

The basic requirements of staff members were patience, long hours at school, and dedicated work. This year's staffs were encouraged to attend clinics over the summer vacation to learn and retain material given on how to manage and improve publications. Eleven people paid their own way to attend week-long clinics held in Hastings, Neb. and Iowa City, Iowa.

Three members received awards for their accomplishments: Shield member Karen Clifford received a best copy award, Shield editor Julie Demaree received the Outstanding Yearbook Student Award and Clarion editor John Petr was awarded the Outstanding Newspaper Student.

This year's Clarion has converted to a more open look and contains broader coverage. A two-page feature has been added to cover special events or topics in depth.

The Shield staff occupied the room during fifth period. Due to schedule conJlicts, a handful of students gave up their lunch periods to remain on the staff and were required to eat lunch during the class.

The copy and layouts of this year's Shield pertained to the Silver Anniversary theme, " Only A Quarter But Worth A Lot More."

Publications' Adviser Dianne Kuppig said, "This year's theme has become the most workable theme that a staff has used in years."

The publications held a competitive football game against each other and continued to find something to laugh about whether meeting pressing deadlines or not.

Looking over the copy for Clarion's January issue are managing editor Tom Luebke , layout editor Patty Gr iffin , and editor John Petr. Due to the large number of ads sold, Clarion was able to produce several ten -page issues

Enrollment drops, clubs active

Although a number of courses were offered in the areas of drama and speech, the enrollment was not great enough to fill all the openings available.

Therefore, one course, debate, was not offered after first semester. The debate class was designed to teach the principles of logic, organization and research. Using the art of argumentation, debate taught effective public speaking and participation in group discussions.

"I lost all my sophomores to seventh period driver's ed," explained debate instructor and coach Carol Svoboda, regarding the cause of the enrollment drop.

With enrollment dwindling to less than 15 members, the debate class ended, but the debate team still had the necessary number of participants to compete in meets.

It continued to participate in meets during both semesters and debated the national debate topic with other schools in state. Finals were in April.

Courses that remained available all year were drama, advanced drama and speech.

These courses fulfilled either English or fine arts graduation requirements and all were open enrollment with the exception of advanced drama which required the prerequisite drama class and teacher approval.

The clubs affiliated with the drama department were the Thalian and Thespian groups. According to Thalian president Kate Moran, "The Thalians goal was to expose kids to drama and to do some things that kids couldn't do without the club, while Thespians was an honorary group and tried to provide some inter-

action between serious theater students."

Members were required to pay $1.50 membership dues and attend meetings. To become an official Thespian, a set number of hours spent both on stage and behind the scenes was also required.

This year's Thespian officers were president Brad Buffum, vice-president Julie Demaree and secretary/ treasurer Tom Luebke. Kate Moran presided over the Thalian group along with vice-president Michelle Sample and secretary/treasurer Crystal Rudloff.

To raise money for a trip to Chicago, Ill., to see the Broadway shows, "Ain't Misbehavin" and "The Music Man" in May, the Thalians sold carameled apples at the Key Club Carnival and sponsored a Time Warp dance on Feb 22. In addition, they sponsored a dinner theatre show on Feb. 28 which contained two student-directed one-act plays in the school cafeteria. Singing waiters and waitresses provided atmosphere for the plays: "What Use Are Flowers" directed by Scott Spence, and "Feifer People" directed by Brad Buffum.

Another one-act play directed by Svoboda was, "And Ms. Rearden Drinks a Little." The one-act was taken to competition where it received third place. Svoboda said she was disappointed and said that one judge thought "the world of the performance," but another disliked it · and that lowered the placing to third.

Neither a class nor a club, forensic was a program sponsored by Svoboda for students with interests and talents in poetic, duet, and dramatic reading. The group met when convenient and went to competition when a contest was available.

Practicing scenes from "Antigone" for their

drama class are Johneen Bragg and Terri Munyon.

Western spoof

provides change

"The first person who knocks these off is going to put them back up," Brad Buffman told the cast of the fall play. Despite this warning, cast members Eileen Ullman and Stu Kerns were the first to knock the saloon door off its hinges during the Thursday evening performance of the Life and Death of Sneaky Fitch.

Tryouts for the fall play were held on Sept. 4th and 5th. Tryouts director Carol Svoboda and assistant director Brad Buffum selected a cast of 12 from the 50 who tried out for the play .

The cast and crew members worked on rehearsals and set construction, designed by Buffum, for four weeks preceding the final performances of the play.

Svoboda said, "This year I picked a different kind of play than Southeast usually presents. I skimmed over 80-100 plays before I made my decision on one I liked and one students would enjoy," she added.

This spoof on western movies was written by James L. Rosenberg, lasted 1½ hours and was composed of three acts

Throughout the three acts the character of Sneaky Fitch, a cowardly, drunken nuisance and the personalities of the many other "shady characters" were exposed.

The play takes place in Gopher Gulch, the epitomy and essence of the Old West. When Fitch becomes ill and apparently dies because of some suspicious medicine administered by departing Doc Burch, there is a sigh of relief and few tears.

As if by miracle, Fitch emerges from the coffin at his funeral and appears to be invincible. His popularity grows and he takes over the positions of sheriff, mayor, and town banker.

Upon the return of Doc Burch the truth of Fitch's supposed invincibility is "" revealed and all ends happily ever after.

The musical theatre class . presents "Guys & Dolls"

"OK. Places everyone! Let's start on the third song."

"Ugh! If I've sung this song once I've sung it a thousand times."

The goal of the musical theatre class is to produce a musical by doing the best job possible in the most r .ofessional manner possible. The five-credit course is open to students in vocal music. However, for those who are solely interested in the aspect of drama or set construction, permission to enroll in the seventh period class may be obtained by speaking with vocal music instructor Frank Mills.

Beginning on day one, the class became acquainted with this year's selected musical, Guys and Dolls, by reading and auditioning for parts.

"There is no time for teaching the fundamentals or histories of a musical. We meet the demands and begin producing the musical at once," Mills said.

The musical fable created by Damon Runyon revolves around a group of gamblers and their girls. The trouble follows when a guy finds it hard to choose between the pounding of his heart and the rolling of the dice. There are two romances. One involves Nathan Detroit, a small but hot shot gambler and Miss Adelaide, a night club cutie. The two have been engaged for 14 years. The other is between Sky Masterson, a bigtime freeliving plunger and Sarah Brown, a Salvation Army girl and the head of the rundown Save A Soul Mission.

The Save A Soul Mission along with 16 other scenes were designed by Tom Luebke and Chris Cartmill. The set was constructed by members of the musical theatre class.

The 56-member cast and the complete crew recreated the Broadway Musical Guys And Dolls into what Mills called, "The finest musical that I've been involved in anywhere."

Marching to "save a soul" throughout the streets of New York are Corinne Collins and band members

A change of beat for vocal music department

The Countesses and Noblemen of this year's vocal music department sang to the beat of a different drummer while two new singing groups evolved to explore the new music of today.

This year the Countesses and Noblemen singing group altered the regulation to allow only seniors to audition for parts. The change to allow juniors to participate was initially done to get more boys involved, although this year's group consisted of eight senior boys, five senior girls and three junior girls.

"I felt that considering the number of boys that tried out, some juniors should have made it. Yet, there were about 50 girls including many qualified seniors that alone, could have combined to make an excellent group," said senior Nobleman Ryan Hoage.

Queens Court and Knight Sounds were the new additions to this year's choral department. Queens Court was made up of nine junior and senior girls while Knight Sounds consisted of 16 sophomore boys and girls. Both groups dealt with today's disco and contemporary music.

The beat went on for the traditional vocal music groups: Court Choir, Modern Choir and Chorus. All of these groups were involved in reading music and performing.

One tradition of the vocal music department that was established by Mills and has been carried on for the past five years was the Elizabethan Holiday Dinner. This dinner is a theatrical dinner in which volunteers of the musical theatre class perform songs and dialect from the Elizabethan script. The dinner festival, held at the Grace United Methodist .Church, included festive costumes, props and foods.

Another tradition of the vocal music department was Singorama, the method of announcing new group members held in early May. This year, commemorating Southeast's Silver Anniversary, alumni of the first small groups were asked to perform or speak at the event.

Band undergoes face lift

After twenty-five years have gone by at Southeast for a teacher who has been there for twenty-five years one might · think that he'd do something different to give the next twenty-five years a new twist.

Well, to add to the newness of the addition, Paul Austin, instrumental music chairman, ordered new band uniforms, added baton twirlers to the marching band and entered the band in contests for the first time.

Why all these changes? According to band president Tim Eversol, attending the contests brought about the new uniforms and the twirlers.

"Last year we voted to enter some contests. Then we decided we needed new uniforms and the twirlers if we were going to compete," Eversol said.

The band received an excellent rating at the State Marching Band Contest and the Wisner Pilger Marching Band Contest.

Second semester the marching band divided into a symphonic band and a concert band. The concert band gave concerts only and the symphonic band performed in competition. In April they attended a five-state contest held at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City.

A look at the more classical side of music brings the orchestra into view. Janet Hiatt, president of the orchestra, said, "We're not too publicized but we are growing. We have a lot of young performers."

Orchestra played at many junior highs this year and also at the Lincoln Orchestra Night held at Lincoln High School on December 10. Second semester kept them busy preparing for concerts.

Stage Bands were also formed at Southeast. There was a concert (or select) and a rehearsal (or practice) band. Stage band performed at the Kiwanis Pancake feed and the Father-Daughter dance.

Maturity, quality continues

"Quality and continuity are what we're trying to accomplish in teaching and course offering," commented Don Byorth, head of the art department. Bvorth has taught at Southeast for 21 years. He, Gerald Christensen, and Charles Schanou say they plan on staying at Southeast for years to come in the hopes of setting a stable art department.

The department will move to the new addition come next fall and a new art class will be offered. Schanou plans to teach sculpture next year

"I think we have maturity in classes, more like college courses," Byorth said.

Instead of offering a crafts class in which one has a taste of fibers, pottery and jewelry, a student can take each one of these classes separately and get a more indepth study of the art.

" We have some very good students

this year," Byorth said when talking about the Gold Key Awards. These awards are given to outstanding art students each year. The regional contest sponsored by Brandeis has about 3,000 entries. Only 300 of those entries are accepted.

"I think some of our students have a good chance of winning ," he said.

Art Masters, a club for interested art students, also has a sampling of good artists. The joint chiefs are Steve Lanik, Zillie Bahar, and James Fairchild. They planned a trip to Omaha during the first semester to visit Joslyn Art Museum and the club also worked on a logo for Art Masters. Late in the year they had a showing at the Haymarket. It gave members a chance to interest prospective buyers .

Space problems occur when interest rises

As interest in industrial arts expands, space to place the additional classes is becoming harder and harder to find according to Bob Hall, department chairman.

A greater interest in drafting courses pushed the drivers education simulators to a trailer outside. Two years ago mechanical drafting took over the drivers' seats and more architecture classes were added to the registration.

However, even with this extra space, 12 Southeast students had to commute to East High every morning to take classes in auto mechanics because there was no room at Southeast.

"It's really no different than going to school here. I even wear my S.E. jacket and no one says a word," senior David Hansel said.

Southeast does not have room for a body shop, but future plans provide for space after the art department moves

into the new wing in the fall of 1980. Assistant Principal of Curriculum Rex Mercer said, "These plans are not definite yet because there doesn't seem to be that great of an interest in auto mechanics. We've put a small engines class on the registration every semester but interest is low. The students really tell us what to offer."

As the interest in trade schools and vocational schools increases so does the enrollment in architecture, wood-working, and mechanics. Bob Hall, head of the industrial arts department, said that the increase has caused himself, Jim Kinney, and Harold Kubick to each teach six classes a day, whereas most teachers teach only five. Often sophomores have to wait to take a class because of this heightened enrollment. Other classes offered in the industrial arts department are crafts and electronics.

Looking in on a crafts class. Crafts , a course offered in the Industrial Arts department , can be used for ar t credit. Students often elect this class in place of the more highly artistic courses.

A mini-lumberyard is characteristic of any woodworking course and S E is no different. Classes are offered seven periods a day in carpentry which shows the great interest in woodworking

Classes teach living skills

Foil ow your nose, it always knows. You start walking a little faster, your mouth is watering and your stomach is growing loudly . At last you found where that wonderful smell was coming fromCorene Herbster's foods class.

The different classes not only teach the basics of cooking but how to work with people, decorate houses, consumer buying, sanitation and many more useful things. Gladys Helm, home economics teacher said, "We like to teach application instead of facts in our classes."

The purpose of home economics courses is to teach students skills that will help them now and in the future. Men and women are realizing that with the complexity of living demands if they have some formal training it will greatly help solve the problems of family life.

"The classes are not just for girls, like people used to think," Helm said.

One of the purposes of home ec classes is to teach the students about nutrition so they will be aware of their body's condition and what they can do to improve it. While the home ec classes are cooking and eating the food, the health classes are learning about the calories in food.

Health class 4s a required course starting this year "I think it is a good idea that health is going to be a required course because what you can get out of health you can apply to everyday life," health teacher J. R. Connell said.

The classes study things such as first aid, stress, shock, burns, control of bleeding, personal fitness, and C.P .R. (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation). Health teacher Mick Pierce said, "I feel that everyone in the whole school should know C.P.R."

The students spend approximately four weeks on learning the skills of C.P .R. They are tested over doing the procedure correctly and also what to do if a person is choking or has something caught in his throat.

To culminate a semester of studying children in the "Exploring Childhood " class , students conducted their own nursery school in the South Gym Working with some of the children are junior Cindy Burger and senior Karen Chapman.

Learning for lite

Business saves the day

"Hello?"

"Oh, you've got to help me! Tomorrow is the last day of the semester and I have a twenty-five page term paper and a character analysis to type, and nine and a half pages of notes I have to recopy that I can't even read, and the highest typing speed I ever got was four words a minute typed with only one finger!"

Students might not have that kind of problem if they had only listened to their counselors and taken some business classes. Typing a term paper can be long, slow work when a person doesn't know how to type, and shorthand would have helped when taking those notes.

A new business class started second semester called Personal Finance. It is now a required class for all students, beginning with this year's sophomores. It is a one-semester course in which one learns "prdctical things that people will need," Bonnie Smith said, who taught the class with Sue Seeman. The topics covered include budgeting, banking and

insurance.

Any student enrolled in a business class, or who had previously been enrolled in one could join Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), which provided the student with opportunities and experience in business. FBLA's activities included a pizza party, a teacher option assembly and Christmas caroling.

Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) is the youth group for students in marketing classes. Mugs, candy and doughnuts were sold by members to help pay for DECA-sponsored activities. Over 1100 Southeast and Nebraska mugs wer:e sold by DECA in only one week. Members participated in conferences, had guest speakers and went to the Intra-City breakfast.

"I joined DECA to meet other rowdy students and learn about distributive education. It's a good club to be in," senior Jay Banwell said.

Staying in shape

Planning the semester's activities, the SnykraKnights meet in the gym. The " water ballet " group put on the annual spring show

Students find new fun with various athletic activities

"I want everyone to meet at the rollerskating rink in 15 minutes ," recreational games teacher Mimi Kuebler said Rec sports would be the class to take for students who like to go roller skating, bowling and do many other out-of-class activities .

Every student must have at least 5 credit hours of gym class over a threeyear period. The various gym classes are available to all students and do not discriminate against sex. "Having gym, a required course, is good in some ways but there are students who do not like gym at all , so problems do arise sometimes," Kuebler said.

Trap Shoot ers was a newly-formed club this year which was started mainly by Ben Norris. "I knew there were some good people who were also interested in forming a Trap Shooting Club so we got together, wrote up a charter, found a sponsor, and had student council approve and pass it.

Chuck Evans is the sponsor of the team which consists of 15-20 people The officers of the team are chairman, Ben Norris and secretary/treasurer Mark Rouse. "We anxiously awaited spring so we could get some action going with Trap Shooters," Norris said.

Attracting even more students than Trap Shooting is the Southeast Ski Club.

"It's as relevant as any P E class or any other sport," said sponsor of Ski Club Jim Kinney.

He also said that "If we lived in the mountains we would have a ski team just like we have a football team here."

The club, which has approximately eighty members, was started about five years ago. This year's main activity was selling M&M 's to raise enough money so the members of the club could have free T-shirts.

Some members of the group went to Iowa over Christmas vacation and to Winter Park in January and to Vail in April. The officers of Ski Club for the year were: President Terri Merritt, Vice President Royce McDonald, Secretary Anne Weaver, and reporter Sue Olson.

Synkra Knights, sponsored by Mimi Kuebler, has 36 members which is much larger than usual. "There were so many good girls this year that I decided to increase the number," Kuebler said.

There were 14 acts including two duets and a finale. After making the team the first year members are automatically in it the following years. "The group doesn't meet officially until second semester but they do have meetings during the first semester to get a theme and groups organized," Treasurer Teri Glynn said.

All set to go trapshooting are senior brothers Ben and Fred Norris Trapshooting , shooting bluerocks which are slung into the air , is a new club this year.

Finalizing the grade

Tests cause high rate of brain damage

Tests! Will school ever be free of them?

"I've got a test first period, a quiz second, an essay due third, and another test fifth period. Plus we're testing in weight lifting. I'm gonna go CRAZY!"

Students often hear this kind of complaining. It never fails that when one teacher decides to give a test all the other teachers pile on the homework or plan a quiz. Actually teachers don't get together and plan to give tests all on the same days. It just seems to work out that way for some people. And of course no one actually goes crazy. They keep their sanity, along with their grades and heave a sigh of relief when the test is over.

But there is more than taking the test itself. There's studying!

When asked how she studies senior Sara Heskett said, "with lots of food, a T.V., and a stereo." However, some kids need peace and quiet. They find the library comfortable. A few students like to study during another class.

"When I have a test fourth period I

study during my third period. That way I'm fresh for the quiz or test," said senior Carole Priess.

Still others don't study at all. Their . advice was to just listen to the teachers. They know what's on the test and they'll teach what they want you to know. However, students need to have a good memory to get by on this method.

Whichever way students find is the best way to study, there's one test that's just not possible to study for.

The ACT and SAT, which are used by some colleges for admittance and placement purposes, are "supposed to predict how well someone will do in college," according to Dennis Tinsley, counselor.

However, Tinsley doesn't consider the tests as valid as high school grades and teacher recommendations.

The tests start at 8 a.m. on a Saturday and usually last about three hours. That often meant an early Friday night for most test-takers.

Senior Ellen Brisch said about the SAT, "Man, does your head hurt when

you're done. I never knew thinking took that much out of a person."

The University of Nebraska uses the ACT to determine the Regents scholarship winners and smaller scholarships below that. This is one test that may have been very worthwhile taking, moneywise.

Still, students, as a whole, do not like taking tests. Senior Mike Fink said, "I'd rather have a lot of little quizzes. It's too hard when you have to memorize fifty pages."

And when it comes to finals there was just nothing good to be said. "How are we supposed to remember way back to the beginning of the semester?" commented junior Sheila Stevens.

Well, that's the purpose of finals and so far no one has come up with a better way of measuring a person's knowledge.

Junior Julie Schrier said, "I look at it this way. Would I rather take a test that lasts fifty minutes or write an essay that takes five days?"

Finals cause much panic among students towards the end of the semester. Peggy Mason tries to remember formulas as she takes her Chemistry final.

Some students use the library for studying Kathy Fischer crams for a final during her spare time.

Others find the library a good place for low-key conversation. Kevin Patt and Amy Sundberg spend lunch talking under the guise of studying.

Caught at a slow moment the main hall is usually filled with students who have time to spare socializing. However , Lisa Renner took advantage of the empty hall to study for classes.

Halls filled with paper and notebooks is a common sight on the last day of finals. Students clean out their lockers for locker check , but often ignore the garbage cans

Assemblies-a blessing

He sat at his desk feverishly working on his essay . . . or was it his essay? Little did the teacher know, it was half of her economy-sized pad of pink passes!

It had taken him three weeks to get up the courage to do it. His friends had done it before, "Why not me?" he asked himself. The passes were so close; it was so tempting to grab some that he resorted to a life of crime.

He spent his nights practicing, until finally he had mastered his teacher's handwriting. Everyone envied him. "How do you always get passes?" they asked. It was going out of control.

Teachers were getting suspicious when he and his friends would get a pass each day, especially when it was to the south hill, main hall or courtyard, but substitute teachers never knew the diffe rence.

He decided he had to be more careful. He hid the passes in his socks like he used to do with his Juicy Fruit in grade school.

Stealing a pass here and there is one of the most popular ways of getting out of class. If one is capable of forging a teacher's name, he can do just about anything, however, teachers tend to get sus-

picious when one pass comes for three or four people.

Even without sneaking passes, there are plenty of opportunities to get out of class. A number of teacher-option assemblies are held each year. S.E. had special twenty-fifth anniversary speakers, consisting of graduates from past years.

A special Wintertainment concert was held in January. "Refuge" and "Cast of Players," rock bands made up of Southeast students performed.

However, due to the small size of the auditorium, not everyone can attend assemblies.

Doctor and dentist appointments can also be scheduled during school time. Just a note from parents, then one from the doctor are enough to get excused from class.

Firedrills, planned or unplanned, cheerleader tryouts, the Thanksgiving basketball skit and Spring Day also were all excellent opportunities for breaks during the day.

And finally, the envy of all underclassmen, seniors get out of school three days early the week of graduation.

Not only are pep rallies a time for entertainment, but are also a time for getting out of classes and getting together with friends.

Seniors have opportunities to talk with college representatives during class time Senior Ellen Fejfar talks to a Creighton University representative.

In an effort to introduce students to careers, Lee Anne Zaroban sponsored a lawyer panel assembly.

Standing outside in freezing weather during firedrills is almost bearable when it means getting out of class.

During the Wintertainment Concert Jon Powell plays drums for the band " Refuge."

Student lounges turn to classrooms

It is hard to imagine that in Southeast's history, there was a time when . . . only 58 pupils were in the graduating class, and their ceremony was held in Southeast's own auditorium . a total of 45 AFS students have been hosted by Southeast families .

Student Council spent $8200 on converting the basement area into a student lounge, and when it was needed for classrooms, they spent another $1400 on the renovation of two rooms across from the cafeteria for a new lounge

members of National Honor Society were chosen by teacher vote, tapped with a wand during a senior high assembly by former members, and invited to attend an elaborate ceremony that evening with their parents

Art Hillman taught physical education and had one class of 76 students and one class of four students in the same semester. Especially now, since in 1980 . . . . . . commencement was held at Pershing Auditorium, and over 520 seniors received their diplomas. _ not a single AFS student attended Southeast. increased student population and the lack of classroom space did not allow for a student lounge to even exist.

National Honor Society recognized its members, which were chosen according to a point system, during the second semester Honors Convocation assembly

Art Hillman was a counselor for over 350 students with last names N-Si. In this third quarter of the book, Shield takes a closer look at the people who fill the school and how they make Southeast worth more than its face value.

Administration invisibly supports school

"No visible means of support," is the phrase that often comes to mind when thinking of the administration, since the administration never actually enters into a student's education on a classroom level. Dr. Wesley Lauterbach, principal, described the administration's job as "providing a learning environment where teachers can teach."

If the administration is paralleled to a political system it is easier to figure out how school policies are made.

John Prasch, who is the superintendent of the Lincoln Public Schools, describes himself as "a principal's principal" and is the excutive director and the head administrator of the Lincoln Public Schools.

The school board is like the legislative branch. They decide the broad policies of the school system and are elected. The school board members are president Milan Wall, Ellen Stuart, jo Ann Maxey, Louis Roper, Stan Linnertz, and Pearl Goldstein.

Lauterbach, head administrator at Southeast, has control of how the school board policies are carried out at Southeast.

"My main jobs involve teacher selection, attending student events, building advisory committee, student council, superintendent advisory board, and just being around and about," Lauterbach said.

Under Lauterbach is Larry Eaton, viceprincipal, who heads up discipline and the school calendar. He also acts as principal when Lauterbacfi is gone. Rex Mercer is the assistant principal in charge of instruction, Don Darnell is the assistant principal in charge of student services, and Bill Miller is the athletic director.

The Parent Teacher Student Organization (PTSO) may be thought as the over-all ruling body. "It is the people who care enough to get involved, who elect the school baord and get going to get things accomplished," Mrs. Ann Sidles, co-president of PTSO, said.

PSAB (Public School Administration Building) coordinates supplies, program planning, and foods for the Lincoln Public Schools. The school board's policies are carried out by this central administration building. The superintendent's cabinet works out of PSAB .

Services keep Southeast in tip top shape

Your assignments, should you choose to accept them, read as follows: Secretaries, you shall have the job of keeping all of the records up to date and help the students when they ask. Custodians, your job will be to help keep the building clean and you shall also help the students. Cafeteria ladies, you are . asked to serve the students and faculty a nourishing type "A" lunch and to keep the cafeteria clean. Paraprofessionals, y9u shall help all teachers by typing tests and papers. Hall monitors, your job is one of the most hazardous, you must stop all of the students from running around in the halls disturbing classes, unless they have a pink slip. Good luck. This story will self-destruct in five seconds.

Mission Impossible? Well, not quite. All of these "assignments" are normal jobs to the people involved. These poeple fall into the category called "services." All of them are responsible in helping to keep Southeast in tip top shape. And no, this story will not self-destruct in five seconds.

The school cafeteria has never had a poor rating from the Department of Health-always a superior. The inspectors check everything to insure that good, clean, food is served, in a clean atmosphere. They check the silverware, the appliances, food storages and for cleanliness all over the cafeteria.

"We're always scrubbing! Everything has to be clean," claimed lunchroom server Vivian Block.

According to Elizebeth Hayes, also a lunchroom server, the favorite main course at Southeast is pizza and the favorite dessert is chocolate chip

cookies. But, just because pizza is the favorite doesn't mean they can serve it anytime they want. Menus for the Lincoln Public Schools are made up one year in advance.

"You could flip through the pages and find out what's going to be served in three months if you wanted to," Block said. Hayes said that, "98 % of the kids who eat here think the food is great. They have a lot of choices and all of the food is good. Besides, where else can you get a meal like this for 65 cents?"

In the cafeteria, when lunch is over and the cheerleaders have finished practicing, the custodians can be seen sweeping, · and mopping the floor. This is only one of the many tasks of Southeast's custodial force made up of eight day-shift workers and seven night-shift workers.

The messiest times for the custodians they say, are Spring Day and the end of each semester. Big garbage containers are set in main hallways and smaller cans are placed all over in the halls. Mr. Hartshorn, head custodian, commented, "Some of the kids use them but most do not."

Even though they do have to clean up

the mess the custodians do get caught up in the kids' enthusiasm for events such as Spring Day or a big game. "We know most of the boys in the sports program so we do get caught up in their enthusiasm," Hartshorn said.

Another group of enthusiasts are the secretaries. Pat Powers, Southeast's bookkeeper said, "We'll buy buttons and ribbons for sporting events. It's easy to get caught up in their enthusiasm because the kids generate so much excitement when something big is coming up."

During the summer when school is the last thing on most students' minds, the secretaries are still at school. "It's busy for a month, then slow, then busy getting last minute things done. I like it better when the kids are here-it adds more variety. I can't stand the complete quiet. The busiest times during the school day are before school, after school and during lunch when the kids are usually asking for change," Powers said.

The paraprofessionals offer more help to teachers. They type tests, worksheets and do other jobs. The staff includes: Ann Mallatt, Debbie Hammer, Helen Roesler, Lois Scheve, Elaine Henry, Dorothy Anderson, and Anne Fletcher

The hall monitors hold two main responsibilities They keep halls quiet during class hours, which means checking everyone for passes, and they pick up attendance cards from rooms. Many of the teachers double as hall monitors but the full time hall monitors are Mike Bartells and Cleo Scharf.

After lunch is over Harry Hartshorn and Levita Danek start cleaning up the cafeteria

Cleaning the cafeteria is only one of the many tasks for custodian Leo Schade Other custodians are : Jesse Damien , Dean Aimes, Rufun Wilson , Kenneth Portsche , Chet Ross , Pa ul Lotomski , William Dixson , Donald Schwisow , David Pe te rs , Gerald Fritzwaters , Elvina Jenson , Dorothy Slocum , and Loren Brunson

faculty Injuries, travels lead to absences

Many teachers leave school for a year, maybe two, and then come back to teaching. Why do they leave their jobs? There are different kinds of leaves of absences and different cases, too.

Probably the most common reason female teachers leave school is because of pregnancy, as in the case of Olinda Boslau and Barb Havlicek. This is called a Maternity disability. According to Lincoln Public Schools policies, if the teacher does have tenure she can reapply for her leave from year to year but she can't be gone more than two years. If the teacher doesn't have tenure she can only be gone as long as the doctor says she has to. Teachers don't get paid for maternity disabilities but they can use whatever sick days they have accumulated

Ten days of sick leave are given to a teacher each year and if the teacher doesn't use them one year they are added on the following year. It's possible to accumulate a year's worth (190 days) of sick days, but that's the limit.

Often an accident occurs and teachers have to take a disability leave. This year Mary Commers broke her ankle and was gone for half a semester. Since teachers can't be in school on crutches, a disability leave is often extended to quite a long time.

Teachers can also take a leave of absence ~A sabbatical is a leave used for

study. If a teacher has been in a certain district for seven years or more he can take a one-semester or a one-year leave. Another reason for leaving is to go into another business like Jerry Harkrader did this year. Other teachers take a leave to travel. Several years ago Don Byorth, art teacher , traveled for a year in Europe. He said, "I recommend the experience to every teacher I learned things that helped my teaching, and it was well worth the expense Do it before you retire," he added.

Proudly showing off her new baby, Rebecca, is Barb Havlicek. Havlicek left near the end of the first quarter and planned to return second semester.

Spotlight: Doughnuts provide break from teaching

Bear Claws, butterflies, pine cones, bowties, coffee sticks, fritters, and long johns. Ask Jerry Harkrader what any of these things are, and he'll tell you. They're doughnuts!

Harkrader, former history and geography teacher at Southeast, took a leave of absence this year to open up a doughnut shop with the help of his wife and daughter.

"We thought about opening a family business before, but we didn't know what. A doughnut shop is something the family can do together."

The shop, called Daylight Donuts, opened on July 27th. The room has tables and chairs to seat 32 people and the atmosphere is cheery, bright and clean.

Since only fresh doughnuts are sold, Harkrader said they have to be at the store at 3 a.m. to have the doughnuts ready by 6 a. m. "Then we just stay open until we sell out," he said. This doesn't happen every day but once a week is still a good percentage.

And what about next year? "Well, this and teaching have a lot of similarities. I'm in touch with just as many people here as I was at S.E. and I put in just as many hours here as I did at S.E., what with coaching and stuff."

But Harkrader can't say if he'll come back next year. "Right now we're just · trying to get this place off the ground. Only one out of fifteen businesses make it and hopefully we'll be the one."

"Let's see. If I write this note to my counselor and it really sounds desperate enough, maybe he'll call me in before the end of the period."

Once a student finally gets one of those ho ly pink passes to go see his counselor, or better yet, actually corners one of them in his office or in the teacher's lounge, the counselor can help with any of the various problems in a student ' s life.

The counselor ' s job includes helping students with schedule changes , working with students on education planning , personal, social, home, and school problems, and planning future careers.

Counselor Charles Evans said that being a counselor provides many rewarding experiences.

"Seeing students overcome their problems, reaching their goals and succeeding in the future provides these rewards," Evans said.

All of the other counselors , Mary Boren, Lois Schwab, Arthur Hillman and Dennis Tinsley, were teachers before becoming counselors. A full-time job , the counselors receive letters and telephone calls from students and parents at home as well as at school. Each counselor has from 325 to 350 counselees

Summing his job up, Tinsley said, "A counselor's job is a jack of all trades, master of none."

interested in more than school

Other than his duties as Principal of Southeast High School, Wesley Lauterbach sidelines as a Red Cross volunteer during Nebraska football games.

Lauterbach has been a Red Cross volunteer at the games for 14 years. A · former consultant for health and safety was looking for additional people to work the games. Lauterbach said that they are there to help with first aid types of things. He usually gets to watch part of the game. The volunteers wear a white uniform "so they can be seen in a sea of red."

Besides sidelining as a Red Cross volunteer, Lauterbach has also become interested in genealogy, the study of one's ancestors. After three or four years of study, Lauterbach has traced his family tree on his mother's side back to colonial times.

Lauterbach started with his immediate family working back through time using old birth and death certificates, military records and cemetery records.

Besides Red Cross and his interest in genealogy, Lauterbach gardens, has collected stamps periodically since he was in junior high, and also does some wood carving.

Spotlight: Erickson's dream becomes reality _

The dream first came to him five years ago when he went to Africa. Now he's a hero after climbing Mt. Kenya and saving his partner 's life

Bill Erickson, psychology teacher, went to Africa this summer to climb Mt. Kenya. His partner was Gary Gabelhouse, director of Nebraska Outdoor Encounter

Before the trip Erickson worked for three months to get into shape. He jogged eight to ten miles every day and he and Gabelhouse went to South Dakota two to three times a month to climb. Erickson said he was in the greatest shape he'd ever been in.

Once in Africa his good condition really helped out. The two climbers had to hike for .five days and then the actual climbing took two days.

"The geography changed so much. We started out in a small jungle and then got into areas where things grew twenty feet high," Erickson said

Before they reached the top Gablehouse became sick. A disease called Cerebral Edema struck his lungs and Erickson had to take Gabelhouse back down the mountain. Fortunately there were other climbers to help because there was no way to communicate to the people below No one realized how sick Gabelhouse really was until they heard him gurgling in his sleep and saw his fingers and toes turn purple.

"It was a deadly thing, There's nothing to do but get out of the high altitude and we were up 16 ,500 feet," Erickson said. It was because of Gabelhouse's excellent condition that he recovered.

Bill Miller, Athletic Director, lives in Minnesota and spends the summer fishing, golfing and fixing up the house. Many teachers take University classes over the summer.

"I was tired when school started," Social Living teacher Gladys Helm said. "I usually feel rested."

Helm has taken eight hours of college credits, then about three more hours through Lincoln Public Schools over the past year.

Some teachers don't even take a break from teaching and teach summer school. Others sell insurance or do farm work.

Spanish teacher George Pearce spent the summer visiting Great Britain, Cornwall, Scotland and London.

Matrimony was on the minds of six other Southeast teachers last summer. Tim Golden, Martha Jacobs, J. R. Connell, Cheryl Schroeder, Charles Gordon and Anne Woita were all wed during the summer months.

At the end of their summers, the teachers came back to their regular jobs at Southeast, but their activities still continued.

Spotlight: Sibley lobbies for education

Stan Sibley, sociology teacher and president-elect of the Lincoln Education Association (LEA), made five trips to Washington during the spring, summer , and fall of 1979. He was lobbying for a separate Department of Education which was finally approved on September 27. Sibley was pleased with the new department and said, "We're off and running. "

Being involved with education and the support of the country is important to Sibley.

"I feel very deeply committed to what I'm doing and I have to follow through with my commitment or I wouldn't be an honest person."

Sibley is also on the executive commi t tee of the Democratic Party of Nebraska He was strongly in favor of giving 18-year-

olds the right to vote but is slightly disappointed that more haven't taken advantage of it.

"But then I feel 'no vote ' is better than a ' dumb vote,'" Sibley said.

Even with being involved with the LEA , the democratic party and various other groups, Sibley still finds time to be with his son and daughter. 'I'm very busy and these organizations are time consuming; but my family understands. Like I said, I wouldn't be an honest person if I didn't follow through with my commitments. "

Positive support shown

"There Is Still One Thing In This World You Can Take Advantage Of Education.

This saying was seen on a sign Thursday, Nov. 14 at a pep rally held at the Capitol. Thursday was· also the kick-off for Community Action, a committee sponsored by Lincon Education Association (LEA) with Southeast Business Law teacher Bob Nielsen as Chairman.

Community Action's purpose is to try to get the community involved in support of education. Mayor Helen Boosalis, who spoke at the rally, said, "We want to encourage parents to become involved with their children's education."

The week of November 11-17 was also · American Education Week. Banquets, breakfasts, and speeches were held all week long with the rally topping it off ~n Thursday.

About 450 people were present at the rally with signs saying "Park teachers care," "LHS teachers care" and more.

Southeast psychology teacher Bill Erickson said, "It's the most positive approach to education I've seen. No crit-

icism or bad news, just support."

Not many students were seen at the rally, however the S.E. student council made a sign that said, "Southeast Student Council supports educatorsThanks for educating us."

"We were the only group of students that made a sign and many of the people commented that it was super that we cared enough to participate," Student Council member Suzy Young said.

Southeast was decorated for Education Week with signs on every teacher's door saying, "Thanks for educating us."

"I was really pleased that so many people showed up at the rally," Nielsen said. He added, "I think we accomplished what we wanted to. We got the community involved."

Stu-co and officers try to meet needs

"In response to need," was the thematic goal of the Student Council this year. The 37-member council won the "Outstanding Council Award" which Southeast has won eight out of the past nine years.

Problems, however, plagued the Council. Members complained of it being too big to get much accomplished, and that some of the council members didn't really get involved after they were elected "It's more of a civic service club than a student body," non-voting member Chris Cartmill said.

"Everybody expects us to be busy all the time. If people would use us more could be done," president Stu Kerns said.

The council still had many successful events this year. The Thanksgiving wheelchair basketball game made over $300 and 150 cans of food were collected. The "F.M." movie drew a crowd of about 200 people, made $50 and was said to be a "fun time." The "peer buddy program" utilized the talents of members Chris Cartmill, Sara Sweet and Bruce Anderson to give new students friends to help them get acquainted with Southeast.

Student Council also co-sponsored the Alumni Speaker Series for Southeast's 25th Anniversary .. Graduates who spoke included: Bruce Ander_son, Nancy Cowles, John O ' Shea, and Robert Harris. Spring Day was also planned by the Council.

This year's officers were: Stu Kerns, president; Sarah Seiboldt, vice president; Kim Hansen, treasurer; Nancy Whitcomb, secretary; and Dennis Tinsley and Don Darnell, advisers.

Class officers also tried to act "in response to need." "We would like to barbeque one-half or one-fourth of a pig and try to get the interest back in the senior ·barbeque," senior class president, Kathy Fischer said. The senior class officers, however, found it hard to make money with only four officers.

The junior class officers raised money for Prom, by selling concessions and Southeast Knight decals, and by sponsoring the father-daughter dance.

The sophomore class officers started to get a jump on their junior-senior Prom by already starting to raise money for next year.

Making money for the senior barbeque is senior class officer Jill Simonson. The profit made from the carnations that junior Julie Lee, as well as many others bought, went toward financing the annual event.

Attentively, the Student Council listens to a new plan for selecting Knight and Lady This is one of the ways· the Council feels they are meeting student needs.

Student Council member Sara Sweet helps orientate a new junior, Lori Zeiglebein, to Southeast. The peer buddy program was started this year by the Student Council to help ease new students into the routine at Southeast.

Playing basketball in wheel -chairs helped raise money and food to go towards Thanksgiving baskets for the needy in Lincoln. The Thanksgiving basket drive is an annual activity sponsored by student council.

Junior high to high school: the big change

"Can I really chew gum without getting in trouble?" "Where is the simulator trailer?" "Will you give me a ride home?"

These are all typical questions that might be asked by sophomores. Like any person experiencing a change, sophomores must adapt to their new surroundings at Southeast.

The first major adaption sophomores must make starts even before the first day of school: Lockers. After first getting used to the size of the "huge" locker , sophomores must then decide which one to pick. It's a difficult decision to make.

"Should we pick one close to the candy machine, or should we pick one across the hall from the seniors?" is a typical question one might hear coming from the mouth of a sophomore.

The next big step, after finally choosing a locker, is matching the room numbers on the schedule to the room numbers on the doors. After this is done, the sopho- · more feels a little less petrified when thinking of walking down the "gigantic" halls of Southeast.

And now for the biggest adaption of all, the first day of school. This day is a trauRon Abrams Alan Addleman

ma tic one in the life of a sophomore. First there's the question of what to wear. The sophomore tries on everything in the closet, which takes so much time it nearly results in his/ her first tardy of the year. Next there's the dilemma of lunch. The "Which-Lunch-Do-I-Have" syndrome is one everyone must face at one time or another, but to a sophomore on the first day of school, it's particularly perplexing After supplying their bodies with needed nutrients, the sophomores go bac:k to

class, which is another adjustment. The classes at Southeast are nearly impossible compared to the classes at their previous school. The teachers even give homework on weekends!

Even after that traumatic first day is over , there's still many adjustments sophomores must make.

Sophomores pick up first semester schedules in the south gym Before class on the first day of school students spend exchanging schedules with friends.

Sophomores

While finding the classrooms on her new schedule , sophomore Jen McDowell orients herself with the halls of Southeast.

The big change • • •

Another big adjustment for sophomores is meeting new people and making new friends. This is hard to do because there are so many new faces to become aquainted with. Clubs and activities, however, help the sophomores to do this more easily. After the first day of school, however, sophomores soon find themselves making new friends, and falling into an everyday senior high life rather quickly. "It's easy to meet people here. They are all so nice," Cathy Maly, a former Pound student, said.

Scott Haes, also from Pound, said, "I liked meeting all the people from the other schools."

Doug Dittman, from Irving, also replied, "I was sick of junior high so it was nice to get to senior high."

The three junior high schools that have students in the Lincoln Southeast district are Pound, Irving, and Millard Lefler.

Even though some people may know other students from different junior highs, coming to Southeast means going to school with a lot of strangers. So sophomores pretty much stay with the group from their junior high while making new friends at the same time. To some it seems that there is always a lot of these groups, but others feel that these associations fade from Irving, Pound, and Lefler groups to their friends at Southeast.

One of the changes that was not well liked by some of the sophomores was the new graduation requirements. Scott Haes commented on the fact that he had to take health again. "It seems like kind of a waste since I've already had it in junior high."

Although there are many adjustments to be made when coming to a new school, most of the sophomores will say it's worth it. "It's a lot of fun," said Lisa Heinke.

Spreading the word in and around school

If you had a message to get across to the student body as a whole, or just to a few people, how would you do it?

Some messages are found in the bathroom stalls, Mary loves John; the world will end for me Saturday morning if there's a kegger Friday night; is Steve K. dating anyone?-yes, me!

Then there are the more important messages that people would like to get around - Broadcasting over the intercom system is often the easiest way to get a message across. They won't announce parties or any "I love you" messages, but they do announce club times, dances, activities, game and meet scores, awards and general announcements every fourth period.

This is the first year that Southeast hasn't had a regular class produce Newsdesk. In the past, a select group of students have put together music, skits, movie and play critiques and general announcements attempting to give a different approach to just plain reading. But, because of some student and teacher dissatisfaction and a bad intercom system, the decision was made to try just reading them.

Clarion, the school newspaper, published bi-weekly, gets stories, news articles ; letters of complaint or approval, , events and other interesting articles across to the students · and faculty members. At special times during the year the staff sells personals to students who have small messages to send to someone.

The "grapevine" or word of mouth seems to be the most popular way to spread the word at Southeast for impor-

tant items such as parties or getting friends together to do something. Of course one has to be careful of whom is told or a small party of 10 might end up to be a huge party .of 100.

Friday, Sixth period. 2: l0p m. Where is the Clarion? Sophomores Jeff Briggs and Scott Shoff find the school newspaper a good way to catch up on what is going on around school.

SE students take advantage of age

Bad deal. Another birthday, another year older, and the price of Oil of Olay has gone through the roof. For most students, birthdays wouldn't be so bad if only someone would remember them besides Mom who seems to think a new exercise body shaper is the perfect present.

Getting older does have its advantages, however. Turning sixteen often means getting a driver's license. With a license in hand there is a new freedom of mobility : driving to school, going out for lunch, staying out later at night, and never having to have parents drive again. Going to parties, cruising "O" street, and taking a date out is much easier in a car than on a Schwinn.

After turning eighteen, students gain the privilege to vote. Also, most students graduate at age eighteen. Decisions are made as to whether to live at home, move out, go to college, or to get a job. Friends often separate after high school, and all sorts of new responsibilities arise. More responsibilities, responsibilities, responsibilities-where did that jar of Oil of Olay go?

SE has headache-causing double-vision

Double-vision, double-vision?! Not not quite quite, but almost! Twins. The perfect way of life. Having someone the same age, a best friend to share secrets with, always being the center of attention wherever they go Maybe this is too idealistic, a stereotype, but one thing is for sure: twins are two of a kind!

Sophomores Shanti and Asha Jha, although they look a lot alike, are not identical twins. Both have dark hair and wear glasses, but Shanti is three inches taller and has braces on her teeth

Besides looking alike, Shanti and Asha both enjoy doing the same things . They both play flute, piano, and piccolo. Both are enrolled in swimming and marching band this year and both have taken dancing lessons. Shanti recently appeared in the ballet presentation of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" at the Community Theater here in Lincoln

When Shanti and Asha were born their mother wasn't very surprised; twins run in the family. Outside of the immediate family there are five sets of twins, all five years apart.

Besides Shanti and Asha, Southeast has four other sets of sophomore twins:

Hard work pays off for two sophomores

Concentration, determination, agility and the competitive urge to win are what these two sopohomores have in common.

Since the age of six, Barb Molaskey has been swimming. When she's not swimming for the Southeast team, Barb is swimming for the Nebraska Aquatics Swim Club.

This summer from August 23-26 Barb competed in Junior Olympics for the second time. But this was the first time she placed in the top 13. She began by being seeded 54th out of 60 in the 100 yd. breast stroke and 45th out of 61 in the 200 individual medley, (I.M.). After much work, toii, and sore muscles, Barb worked her way up to 33rd in the breast stroke and up to 13th in the J.M.

Barb helped Southeast move to a second place finish at state by placing second in the 200 J.M. with a time of 2: 10; second in the 100 fly with a time of 58.4 and first in the 400 free relay with the help of Lori Demaree, Eva Booth and Sarah Capek in a time of 3:41.8 . All three of

these times were All-American times. Barb was chosen for the 1979 Fall AllCity Selections in the Lincoln Journal and Star in the 200 J.M. and in the 400 free relay.

Working hard to achieve success is nothing new for gymnast Todd Sorenson. As a 9th grader at Pound he took the all-around title in the city meet. This year, as a member of the Southeast gymnastics team Todd placed 5th on pommel horse in both the Grand Island Invitational and in Districts. He also placed 4th on parallel bars in Districts. At State, Todd took 12th place honors on the parallel bars.

Todd's future gymnastic plans include joining The Nebraska School of Gymnastics, a year round club under the direction of Francis Allen. He also plans on attending Sukara, a gymnastics camp in Wisconsin.

With the hard work these two sophomores have put into their sports they should be shining their medals and trophies for a long time.

Knights enjoy challenge of competition

Competition (kom'pe-tish'un) 1. A contest, match, or trail of skill or ability. This is competition as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. Competition has, however, many different meanings to different people.

To senior Doug Barlow, a member of the track, basketball and football teams , competition is a way to measure the quality of one ' s skills and talents as well as a way to meet new friends.

"Without -competition there would be no way to really judge how good a person is," Barlow said.

Junior Julie Lee, a member of the volle yball, basketball and track teams, thinks that too often people lose the true concept of competition

"Competition should be taken seriously , but not to extremes," said Lee. " When people compete for attention rather than for their own satisfaction, problems start to form. "

Although many people think winning is the most important part of competition, junior Janet Myers , a member of the volleyball team, said that losing is just as important.

"When I didn 't make the volleyball team my sophomore year it really hurt. But it also gave ine the motivation to work hard all summer and make the team this year," Myers said.

Competition is experienced in other areas beside sports. Junior Nadene Daber would like to see more competition in the area of drama. Daber feels that although there is an adequate amount of singing-acting competition, there isn't enough straight-acting .

"I'd like to be an actress when I grow older, so I need all the experience I can get," Daber said. "It's going to be hard for me to compete against the other actresses with so much more experience behind them."

Competition even affects the grades people earn.

"Grades only matter to me in that they determine my acceptance into a college. Otherwise I compete only with myself in the classes I enjoy, like the foreign language classes which will help me with what I plan to go into," said senior Kristin Grosskopf.

With so many chances to compete, it seems that competition is a part of everyone's life. These experiences in competition are just stepping-stones to the competition that is experienced in later life.

Practicing for their dance routines for the musical are Jill Hoffman and Mary Mares. They earned their spots as Hot Bo x dancers after going through nerveracking tryouts

Class officers prepare for Prom

To most people the words "coke" and "hotdog" don't mean anything special. But they mean a successful Spring-Prom to Julie McGreer, Jackie Merrit, Betsy Simonson and Sara Sweet , the Junior Class ·Officers :

Working in concession stands was the main means of raising prom money for the Junior Class Officers.

"The only hard part about it was finding enough people to help us sell ," said Vice-President Sara Sweet. "Other than that it was all pretty easy "

But selling cokes and hotdogs wasn ' t the only way the Junior Class Officers raised money. They also sponsored the Father -Daughter Dance and they sold Southeast window stickers.

"We really wanted to have a good band this year, so we worked hard to try to

raise money , " said President Julie McGreer.

Choosing a band was one of the harder parts of planning Prom, according to Treasurer Jackie Merrit.

"There's such a high demand for bands around Prom that we had to start looking for them in October," said Merrit. "They also raise their prices, so it's harder to find a good band in a reasonable price range."

"The band who played this year was super," said McGreer. "Some of the members were former Southeast students, so I think they did a really good job for us. "

So remember when you were dancing up a storm at Prom, all the hotdogs and cokes sold to make it all possible

Sponsoring the Father -Daughter Dance was one of the methods used by the Junior Class to raise money for Prom Here Junior Class Officer , Julie Mc Greer , sells the first ticket to the dance to Sophomore Anne Wright.

Smile! Your picture about • IS to be taken!

"Oh, sick! Look at my picture! Oh, no, don't look at it!"

"Oh, it's not that bad. Your mom will probably like it, anyway."

The arrival of yearbooks in the spring is a long-anticipated event for many students. Seeing underclassmen pictures, however, can be a traumatic experience.

Underclassmen pictures were taken on Wednesday, Sept. 15. The lines were long, the temperature was high, and so were a few tempers. Through all of the chaos, most of the pictures did get taken.

Even through all the hassle, most students enjoyed getting out of class and said that it was a nice break.

Getting ready to have their pictures taken for the yearbook are sophomores Terri Varilek and Connie Glanz.

SE pi l o t s are soaring ove rhea d

Look ing do w n from 25,000 feet and watch ing t he lan d slide slowly by is a reality o nly a few t eenagers ever get to experi ence fr om the driver's seat. Southeast h as two pilots that are currently in th e driv er's seat and watching the land s lide by, and having fun in the process.

After Jim Brewster's father had taken a few flying lessons during the summer, he got Jim, a junior, interested in flying also Brewster said he thought it was a great idea, so he went and took a lesson. But after that, the money was too hard to come by. "It's not that I don't want to take the lessons, it's just that that's not pocket money we 'r e talking about!

"The first time I took over the controls, I was doing all right. Then some complications occurred and my instructor said that was enough ," Brewster said.

He took his lesson from Duncan Aviation, and said he hopes that he will be able to take some more in the future. "Maybe I'll have my own plane some day so I can fly all over the U.S. Now there's a dream!"

Senior Scott Stoehr has been taking lessons for one and a half years. The main reason he got started is he plans on majoring in Aueronautical Engineering in college. He wants to be a commercial pilot as well as a plane designer and a flight instructor.

Stoehr flies three times a week for a total of four and a half hours. So far he

has accumulated 135 hours of flying time.

It took Stoehr five and a half months to earn his private pilot's license , though the average time is three months. His license allows him to fly anywhere, anytime, except in bad weather. He is now taking instruction so he can earn his instrument's license which will enable him to fly in bad weather.

Besides flying in the Lincoln area, Stoehr has flown to San Antonio Texas· Denver , Colorado; Des Moine~, Iowai and Kansas City, Missouri. He finds flying a fairly inexpensive way to travel. When a plane is reserved for traveling the only payment is for time actually spent in the air. So , a trip to San Antonio costs $180; a six hour flight at · $30 an hour, this includes the cost of gas. "When you divide that up between three or four people it really is cheap," Stoehr said.

Being able to fly means more to Stoehr than just being up in the air, "It's a feeling of freedom. You can go wherever you want, do what you want and there aren't any red lights. You look down and it looks like you ' re going so slow but you're actually going 150 mph. But more than anyting it's the feeling of freedom that I enjoy."

The curiosity, the freedom, the challenge and the feeling of suspension has drawn these two pilots to the air in hopes of being able to discover all of their hopes and dreams amidst the blue skies.

Peterson trots t c

Gro o ming a horse with shaving cream and a razor doesn't guarantee everyone a victory in horseback riding competition, but it may have been one of the reasons junior Nancy Peterson won a state championship in this sport last summer.

Peterson used shaving cream as well as baby oil and "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" shampoo on her horse before competing in horse shows. She is not sure if it is the reason for her high scores, but she said, "It couldn't have hurt." Then she added, "Anything that might please the judges is worth a try."

And please the judges she did. Peterson finished the season with a twentyeight point victory in Horseman Pleasure. Horseman Pleasure is a division in which the appearance of the rider is judged. She also won a second place in Western Pleasure, a division in which the appearance of

the horse is judged.

Peterson has been riding horses for seven years. It started out as just a hobby, but ended up to be something more.

Peterson keeps her two horses, Mr. R Buck and Marc Star Socks, at her acreage during the summer and at Flying D Ranch in the winter.

"It takes a lot of time to groom and excercise them every day," said Peterson. "Especially in the summer when I'm constantly getting them ready for a show."

Peterson doesn't know exactly where her horseback riding will take her, but she does know one thing; it will always be a hobby.

"Riding has taught me so many things that I'll never give it up," Peterson said.

Monday blues lead to Friday highs

"I don't want to go to school tomorrow. This weekend has been too much fun and Friday seems so far away."

This was a common saying that could be heard almost every Sunday night by many students. They traditionally seem to dread Mondays.

However, there are a few reasons why students at Southeast look forward to Mondays Getting caught up on the weekend gossip is high on the list of priorities for many students. Many like to find out who went out with whom and what happened, general questions about what friends did and what parties took place and who was there

Senior Anne Biggs said, "Parties are a big part of a high schooler's life If you miss out on a big party , you usually miss out on a lot of fun, and if it's a big party, everyone will be there but you may not see half of the people. That's what Mondays are for ."

Two sophomores, Mike Harvey and Mike Roux, think there is a more important reason for Mondays: seeing special girls.

- Then there are the traditional Mondaydreaders . Sophomore Jennifer McDowell commented, "Teachers always have tests on Mondays, that means part

of your weekend has to be spent studying."

Han,ey said, "The weekends go by so fast and you just know the week will go slow."

Knowing that the week will go slow , some students find that by making plans early gives them something to look forward to. Whether it'~ a date, a party or just goofing around with friends

Sophomore Tim Boughn looks forward to Nebraska football games so he can look at the game while earning money as a coke salesman.

Some seniors have even made plans to make the months go by a little quicker. Bruce Hungate and his friends have made tentative plans for a cross country ski trip for the winter and a senior campout which will take place in the spring.

Less extensive plans such as parties, make students a little more alive by the time Friday rolls around . With weekend plans in full swing, many students said they don't pay attention in class or they just don't show up for class.

McDowell added, "That's another thing about Mondays, you always get in trouble for things that happened on Fridays."

A Monday morning meeting at Robin Holtg rewe 's locker allowes

Study halls are usually not occupied

"All right! I just got my schedule and I have a fifth period study hall, so I get a two hour lunch!"

Besides an opportunity for a break, study halls often provide students with extended lunch periods.

Sherry Whitcomb sees this period as a chance to leave the building. "Since I have a fourth period study hall and first lunch, I go home and watch the 20,000 dollar Pyramid," she said.

Other students who prefer to study can go to the library to catch up on homework. Students who like to talk

about last night's date or compare notes for an up-coming test can go to the cafeteria.

Junior Jerry George said, "Sometimes I do my homework or I just sit around and talk to friends. If I have nothing better to do, I leave to go get something to eat."

Many students do not know, however, that leaving the school grounds is against school policy. Because insurance does not cover injuries to students off school property, they are only allowed to leave during lunch periods.

Selling fashions is their business

High school students interested in fashion merchand ising as a career can become involved in the fash ion world while still in school by becoming a fashion representative for a clothing store.

There are three stores in Linco ln that offer a high school advisory program. They hire the girls for public relations and to serve as representatives for the store's fashions.

Miller and Paine has the oldest established advisory board in Lincoln. The program is called the "Hi-Visor" board , and consists of two representatives from each of the Lincoln schools and from Waverly. Southeast's representatives on the board are junior Lisa Ball and senior Jane Cederdahl. Through the program the girls learn the basics of the retail store process, from buying and merchandising to advertising on local radio, television and newspapers. They experience through actually working in the stores the selling and inventory processes . Besides advertising through the media , they also "sell " the clothes from the " Yellow Bench " by setting up displays and wearing the clothes both at school and in fashion shows.

According to Bob Campbell , the store 's Vice -President , this year's HiVisors are the best Miller 's has ever had. Miller''s is also considering adding a men's advisory board next year.

The Daisy 's "Hi-Fashion " board has four representatives from Southeast. They are juniors Julie Shrier and Anne Weaver, and seniors Lissi Wendorff and Kelly Meehan. The girls inform fellow students about new fashion clothes from the Daisy, upcoming trunk showings, special sales, and fashion shows . Although the girls are not emplo"yed in the store, due to the lack of jobs available, they put on trunk showings for their friends and earn a commission off their sales.

Aside from monthly meetings that keep them up -to-date on the latest trends in the fashion world , they are required to participate in at least one community project. This year's board had a bake sale during Gateway's " United Way " week and according to Sherry Walker, in charge of the board , all of the proceeds were donated for the special olympics for the handicapped

The Vickeredge's fashion board repre-

sentatives from Southeast are juniors Chris Carlson , Lynne Knutzen, and Karen Harm The gir ls represent the store by wearing clothes from the Vickeredge which they receive a discount on. They work in the store only on spec ial occasions such as a grand opening or after a fashion show. They also got to travel to Kansas C ity last year t o the Market to help out t he store 's buyers to choose th is year ' s fash ion This year , however , the tr ip will be awarded only to the three or four girls that earn the greatest number of " brownie points " from parti cipation in var ious act ivit ies .

Two other stores, Hovland Swanson and Seiferts cancelled their programs this year. Nancy Craft , who set up the board · at Seiferts , said that due to the opening of their new store in the Centrum , they had

to cancel the program because they weren ' t sure what they were going to do with the "old" store downtown yet.

Hovland 's program was cut due to the fact that it fell apart last year since a few of the girls quit in the middle of the year and it also didn ' t prove to be profitable for the store anymore.

The fashion boards, as compared to fas t food jobs , provide an opportunity for students to learn the field of public relations , merchandising, buying , selling , advertising , displaying, modeling, and various othe r tasks that can help them later on in the ·business world. Unfortunately, the cost of train ing the " unprof essional " students for the store is causing many of the programs to be cancelled or reduced.

Senioritis: no senior can graduate without it

Disease: Senioritis

Symptoms: Affects only senior men and women. Those afflicted ·with the disease have a noticeable increase in their amount of tardies, and become more compulsive and creative in their skipping. They are easily bored with their classes and with their lives, and have an innate fear of Larry Eaton. A tendency then develops to take everything pass-fail, including homelife. Delusions of grand graduation presents and senior parties fill their minds. The disease grows increasingly worse till it culminates in the beginning of June.

Causes: Apathy, which stems from a feeling of no longer being involved in high school. Life begins to stop centering around school and future plans include college and careers instead of cheerleading and student council. Many seniors need only two or three more classes to graduate, and grades don't seem to matter as much since they come out too late to be considered for National Honor Society or college applications. The

terror of having adult responsibilities closing in cause seniors to want to blow school off and have one last blast.

Cures: Though not fatal, Senioritis may be incurable. Some Southeast seniors, however, offered their advice.

"Work a weekend. It will cure anything or put your arm in a pizza oven," Patty Griffin said.

"Skip a day," Mike Schiralli said.

"I stay home with my family for a couple of days and by that time I'm so sick of them that I want to come to school," Dan Zariski said.

"Go to Europe till May and then come to Baccalaureate. Or else take all your classes pass-fail," John Dittman said.

"You have to sleep a lot and pretend you just don't care anymore," Karen Ramsey said.

A more practical solution was given by Dee Dee Hughes. "They should give seniors something in school to look forward to and get involved in, instead of just preparing us for graduation halfway through the year," she said.

Draft decision receives negative responses

1980. The first year of a new decade, and also a year of serious decisions for President James Carter . On Jan . 23, 1980, Carter announced in his State of the Union address that the registrat ion of the draft for young men between the ages 18 to 26 will be reinstated, due to peace · time problems with the Soviets in Afghanistan Therefore, while experiencing "the fun" of being seniors, this year ' s grad- · uating class has been presented with a serious situation

Many of the senior men had objections to going to war and backed them with some very good reasons Senior Dave Darrah said , "I would be ready to serve our country if the reason was someone invading us , but I think it is wrong to send us over there when we aren't even directly involved ."

Steve Lanik had this to say: " I don't want to go to war . People of our age don't know what war is like Our generation has never experienced it in our lifetime."

Some blunt disapprovals were also stated such as with Pat Lawlor , who said, " I don ' t want to go. " Nick Heng also added , "I object to all war. I could be killing some Russian grandmother ' s grandson."

While apprehension and fright were apparent, a sense of patriotism also surfaced

"If the need arises I would gladly go to serve ," added Mark Standard.

Mike Fink stated, "I'm not worried about it. If the time comes I'll go. I don't understand why young kids have to go though, since we are the future America ."

The registration would indeed affect boys, but since the equal rights movements , women could also be considered for sign-up. Senior Corinne Collins had no objections, saying that, "I think it would be all right if girls were included in the draft."

Mixed feelings were also shown, as Michelle Sample said, "I think that it should have something to do with whether or not a woman has a family, yet they should definitely be considered for the draft because it's on ly fair."

Fink joined with seniors Bruce Hungate and Jim Blue in sarcastically saying that, "The only good draft is one with a head on it."

SE athletes receive offers of college scholarships

Courting is an old-fashioned practice wh ich has been revised and is now used by m any recruiters in a new-fangled way. By defini ti on , it means: to woo or flatter, which is exactly what recruiters for college spor t s did to members of the varsity football team at Southeast.

Many athletes will continue to participate in team sports as they enter college, and those from SE ' s city-champion football t eam are no exception. Prompting them to do so were the offers that were made to the boys from a variety of schools.

All-State quarterback Cra ig Sundberg was contacted by many sc hool s about playing college football, and d ecide d to go to the University of Nebraska -Lin coln on a scholarship. Sundberg plans to work h ard on bettering his athletic abil it ie s , yet ho p es to improve academically as we ll. Sun d berg enjoyed the "courting" tact ics

of the schools and said, "It's neat to think that you have a choice as to where you want to go."

His choice of Nebraska depended greatly on its courting tactics. "They do a good job of recruiting, they kind of win you over. They were the only place where the coaches visited me and they called me all the time, but of course, they did have an in-town advantage. None of the rest of the places seemed to follow up after they would call me ," he said.

Bill Weber, another of Southeast's outstanding athletes, also decided to go to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on a scholarship. A number of other schools, including Notre Dame, had cont acted Weber. Yet differing from Sundberg, his main reason for going is to better hims elf in athletics.

T h o ugh going to the University of

Nebraska-Lincoln as a walk-on is in the runner-up position, Keith Petersen plans to go to the University of Montana hoping to better his athletic abilities. Bruce Hungate is also choosing between a walk -on position at the University of NebraskaLincoln and the University of Montana; yet he hopes to concentrate mainly on his academic situation.

Recruiters from Peru State made their connections with Southeast well worth their while, as they contacted ·a great many boys from the football team. Keith Petersen, Anthony Riley, Mark Seivers, Melvin Botts, Doug Barlow, Bert Meuhling, and Bill Lohrberg were all offered scholarships of some type from Peru. Lohrberg, for one, did turn down the offer though, because he said, "They only have a college of arts, and that isn't the area I'm interested in."

Senior summaries questione d

A yearbook without senior summaries is like a "da y without sunshine. " That ' s what most Southeast seniors seemed to think.

The 1980 Shield staff discovered this when deciding whether or not to delete the senior summaries from the yearbook. Although the summaries are supposed to be an accurate record of the students ' accomplishments , their credibility has been questioned

Because of the great number of senior summaries submitted, there is no accurate way to check them This results in the creation of fraudulent applications. There are also those people who would never even think of writing falsehoods, so they join an over-abundance of clubs in the spring of their senior year giving them a clear conscience as well as a lengthy summary. And believe it or not there are some seniors too modest to submit all of their accomplishments for fear of being egotistical. Aside from this , there are students who have interests that lay outside of school, so when asked to list their

school -oriented activities they end up with a clean sheet of white paper and a very sharp pencil.

"The senior summaries are not always a true reflection of what a person is like ," said Shield adviser , Dianne Kuppig. " Just because a person has a whole list of clubs behind his name doesn't make him a responsible young adult or a worthwhile human being. "

But whatever the true credibility of the summaries is , the majority of the seniors st ill want them

People section editor Marcia Beck said , " The seniors want them to help themselves and other people to remember what activities they were involved in at Southeast. " She then proceeded to add , " It's tradition "

No one knows if the " tradition" of senior summaries will be broken in the future years of Southeast. But for right now the seniors ' wish was granted and their summaries are appearing in the yearbook, credible or not.

Attempting to fit h is ma ny acco mpli s h me n ts in his senior summary is B randon H ull.

'Senior Ladies of the Knights' prevail again

It was a crisp December afternoon. There was a bright blue sky with a slight wind sweeping across the playing field. As the players took their positions on the field, the resounding cry of "K-N-1-G-H-T -S, knights , knights!!!! " could be heard It sounds like a t ypical S .E. football gam~ doesn ' t it? The game that was about to take place , however, was far from typical.

The annual powder puff game took , place on Dec. 8th, with the junior girls taking on the senior women. Following tradition , players bought t-shirts displaying slogans of the classes The juniors' slogan was " Jun iors play the field ," while the seniors took a little more seduct ive quote of " Senior ladies of the Knights. "

Also following tradition, the girls who were cheerleaders or on drillteam shed their uniforms for the day and gave them to a worthy Southeast male They had to learn cheers or a short routine so they could show their spirit for their respective teams.

One small detail changed this year. Instead of an all-senior referee squad, there were two juniors and two seniors. Luckily , however , this did not hamper the b iggest tradition of all the final score. Once again the seniors , of course , tasted the sweetness of success with a 14-0 victory.

Junior and senior boys fi nd t ha t be ing a Sh irette is not as easy as it loo ks dur ing the hal f-ti me of the P owder P uff footba ll gam e.

Senior costs-a big bite

The cost of living seems to have put the bite on everyone's wallet. Hamburgers are a dollar, movies are $3 and you're lucky if you can find gas for under $1.10 a gallon. But being in high school does not shield you from the rising cost of living.

Hardest hit of all are the seniors. Not only do they have to pay for social events but also they have many graduation and college needs that must be taken care of.

First, caps and gowns for the graduation ceremony cost $6.75. This enables the students to keep both the cap and tassel. Second, graduation announcements can be sent to friends and relatives. This costs $3.95 for an average box of 100, but the more cards the higher the cost. In general, though, both of these "necessities" are are well under the cost of getting them done at either a

professional printer or tailor.

But to understand the seniors' problems, you have to talk to a senior. Mary Schroeder said, "It costs more-you get less."

Other than the cost for graduation, payment must be made on many things for college. The first step towards this is taking tests during the junior and senior years. Next, college applications must be filled out and sent in. This costs on the average from $10 to $25 per application. If a senior applies at more than five colleges, the cost could easily run into the hundreds.

Caps, gowns, announcements, senior pictures, college applications and other costs all add to a senior's list of expenses! And just when seniors want to spend their money on fun.

Graduates-to-be check out college possibilities

College planning is a common task confronting many seniors who want to continue their education. Deciding on the perfect college, location, academic qualities and environment are a few factors that students must take into consideration. Lincoln happens to be blessed with a fine university and campus, so many students who want someplace · close to home with an excellent learning facility, often choose the University of Nebraska. Others, who want to get away from home and seek new opportunities and friends have many choices to decide upon, both in-state and out-of-state institutions.

As sophomores, orientations were held every other week at the beginning of the year during English classes. Even then, counselors were helping to plan for education after graduation. But back then, whoever thought about graduating, let alone college? When the time finally comes to decide, counselors are still there to help every inch of the way.

Every year the Lincoln Public Schools host an educational planning day program. The program provides students and parents information regarding

specific institutions which are being considered by the students. The program was held at Southeast on September 18, and all Lancaster County high schools were invited to attend.

"About 50 schools, mostly Nebraska institutions, sent representatives to the program," said Don Darnell, director of Student Services. "It is a successful program every year and I think it really gives the student an insight to opportunities they've not considered," Darnell said.

Some college-bound students take a further step and visit colleges and universities that interest them. Senior Jane Cederdahl visited two colleges, one in Missouri and another in Indiana.

"I want to get into a smaller school, and someplace out of Nebraska because I want to get to meet more people and have a closer relationship with my teachers. Something I would not have at a large university," Cederdahl said.

All students are not so fortunate to visit certain institutions before they make their choice, but those who do have a step ahead of the others in fortellirig the outcome of their near future.

Griffin, Griffin, Divis travel abroad through AFS

The American Field Service (AFS) gives students the chance to live in another country, where the lifestyle and the culture of the people may be totally different than here in the United States.

Southeast has three seniors who par- · ticipated in the 1979 AFS program. Karen Griffin spent two months in the Mexican state of Oaxaca with the Ballesteros family, Patty Griffin stayed with the Sudres family in a small village in Southern F ranee called Castelnau de Levis and Jon Divis stayed with the Maciel family in Asuncion, Paraguay in South America.

While Karen was living in Oaxaca, she had three sisters that were about her age, "So I always had something to do. I figured out that I stayed home about four nights while I was there," Karen said. She spent a lot of time at parties, and at discos where American music was played.

Patty Griffin said she has always been excited by foreign lands, and has had the dream of seeing the world. "That was my chance, or the first of many," she said.

While in F ranee, Patty visited many places with her family abroad. She spent time in Paris, Brittany, and also Belgium.

Although Jon took four years ot French at Southeast, he stayed where Spanish is the main language. Other than listening in on the beginning Spanish class at Southeast, Jon had no background in the language before he left.

"After a while it wasn't really that hard," Jon said. "After two months I could understand Spanish pretty well. But I did use my dictionary an awful lot those first two months," he added.

Jon has always had an interest in AFS because his family has been involved with the program for a long time. His sister went to South Africa for a year and his brother went to Brazil for the summer. In addition to this, his family has helped house students in the AFS program during conventions.

Jon said that he really enjoyed his visit and he'd like to return in a couple of years. When he does return, he'd like to visit Rio de Janeiro and San Tiago as well as Asuncion.

Shield staff bows out of selection process

The past three years that seniors have attended Southeast, probably mos t considered themselves to be a "Knight" or a "Knight fan." Maybe "once a Knigh t is enough" for most, but for eight seniors , that title has been bestowed with a "thee" before it.

Four boys and four girls have bee n titled as "Knights" and "Ladies." The honor, a Southeast tradition, is awarded to well-rounded students who have bee n involved in the school's activities and organizations during their three years. Although the selection process ha d been handled by the Shield staff in the past, this year the process was turne d over to Student Council. Shield advise r Dianne Kuppig said that she though t school publications should cover th e news rather than make it. In addition , Kuppig said that the student body" didn 't like the way we were doing it and basicall y didn't understand the process. Therefore, we bowed out."

"We always used the senior summary sheets to help us decide and then we turned the finalists over to teachers and also to the seniors to choose," said People editor Marcia Beck.

Student Council manages 'Knight and Lady'

To rectify a problem situation, the Student Council devised a new procedure for selecting the eight seniors for Knight and Lady.

According to StuCo president Stu Kerns, there are five basic points to the new procedure, which are all to be considered equally.

"The five things are participation in outside activities, participation in inschool activities, scholarship, respect of fellow students, and respect of faculty and administration," Kerns said.

Teachers, counselors, and administrators were asked to make open nominations and submit those names to the ballot. The ballot then went to all faculty and staff members.

According to Kerns, teachers who have been in the system for less than three years were able to abstain from the voting if they wished.

"It eliminates the possiblility of a popularity contest. It also emphasizes the importance of being well-rounded. Finally, it was totally out of the hands of Shield, which takes burden off their hands as well as places the burden where it belongs, with a student representative organization," Kerns explained.

Active in drama and debate, Knight Brad Buffum directed plays as well as acting in them Brad won several speech awards and was president of Thespians

senior summaries -

Students collect 'fond' memories with autographs

Signing yearbooks. It's a tradition ever since yearbooks first appeared in the mid 1800's. Then , only seniors exchanged pictures. They pasted the pictures and newspaper clippings into a scrapbook type of yearbook.

But times have changed. Yearbooks are much more sophisiticated now , and so are the students. Still, students like to have other students sign their books. In fact , at signing parties, the book is in a student's hands only long enough for him to find his own picture before it passes on to someone else's hands to begin the process of collecting as many signatures and memories as possible. The yearbook becomes the student's companion for the next week until school ends, and eventually it retires to some bookshelf or box in a closet to be pulled out only occasionally.

The signing of the yearbook somehow seems to personalize the story of the year. Although the yearbook staff captures many of the times students like to remember, it can't possibly capture them all.

Therefore, Shield includes a personality profile form on these pages, and extends an invitation to you and all the other yearbook signers to fill in all those memories and good times.

Some yearbook authorities say that a yearbook is not for today, but for tomorrow, for 20 years down the road. With that "depressing" thought in mind , let this profile serve to date you, Southeast High School and the school year, 1979-80.

Profession:

Ouilltedl ski1rts tlU11r1n to baggy paints

It is hard to imagine that in Southeast's history, there was a time when . . . a closed campus policy kept students at Southeast during their hour lunch break, where they were served lunches that had no federal regulations or funding .

a hamburger could be purchased for only $.20 . . . clothing stores were showing quilted skirts with sashes for girls and polished cotton slacks for boys as the latest fashion . . . when planning to "catch a flick," students had only four or five movies to choose from, and had to pay a 50¢ admission fee .

Calvert Street was the southern boundary for the city limits.

Especially now, since in 1980 . . . a 40-minute lunch break gave students the chance to rush to one of the many nearby fast food restaurants or to eat a "Type A" lunch at school. it was hard to find a good hamburger for under $1.00 baggy pants and dresses with padded shoulders for girls and velour sweaters and dressy jeans for guys were among the many new styles shown in fashion stores .

Lincoln's seven indoor and three outdoor movie theatres provided students with a choice of over 15 films to see, with the price of tickets at $3.00 each . . . . southern expansion continued to draw new housing developments out past Old Cheney Road. In this fourth quarter of the book, Shield takes a closer look at the community and the businesses which support it.

CENTERING IN ON

Lawrence Welk autographs a co py of h is book "This I Believe ." On Friday, Nov 30, Welk signed about 500 books during a promotional signing party hosted by downtown Miller & Paine.

Crowding the streets is only a fraction of the red-jacketed " Big Red " fans that attend the University of Nebraska football games The Nebraska vs Iowa State game marked the 106th consecutive tim~ that fans filled Memorial Stadium

Taking advantage of sale prices is senior Carla Jefferson. Many shoppers were drawn downtown due to the availability of parking in the new Centrum and the accessibility of shops via skywalks

Senior portraits: hard decisions to make

Every year seniors go through the same old things-senior blahs, senioritis, senior parties and then there are always senior pictures.

The first decision seniors make is where to get senior pictures taken. Lincoln has about thirty professional studios to choose from . Shopping for a studio is like shopping for anything else; there are different prices and quality Most studios have senior portrait specials. Sitting fees range from $10 to $20 depending on if they are taken indoors or outdoors. Then there is a price for the proofs, if students choose to keep them. The special offers usually include a combination of different-sized pictures at lower prices than if each picture was bought separately. Wallet-sized pictures come in sets. Usually the more pictures purchased the cheaper per picture they are . Add these all together and the price may be larger than expected. That is why it is usually best to shop around first.

The next decision seniors make is

when to have them taken. Fran Zabloudil of Zabloudil Studios says it is best to get senior pictures taken in the summer when students are "tanned and rested up. " This is also a good time because seniors are not yet involved in sports and activities so they have more time.

One of the biggest decisions to make is deciding what to wear. Simplicity is one of the most important guidelines. The yearbook staff suggests that girls wear shirts with •long sleeves and a collar. Bright colors should not be worn and little or no pattern is best. If the pictures are taken outdoors it is best to wear earthy colors. Makeup should be the same as normally worn at night.

A coat and tie always looks good for boys. Also casual sweaters or letter sweaters are good , keeping away from patterns and bright colors.

When going to get a picture taken it is best to leave a lot of time to get ready. Advice from Zabloudil is simply, "Be comfortable with yourself."

To be more relaxed, bring a friend that knows you well and can help with hair styles and clothing. Being relaxed is important in picture taking Another way to be comfortable is to bring along important things in students' lives For example , a football player might bring a football, a cheerleader may wear her uniform and a good math student may bring a slide rule. Also many students have their pictures taken with their pets.

Most students hand out their pictures two to three weeks before school is out or send them in graduation announcements For many seniors, pictures are a way to remember old friends and good times

Money problems lessen with planning

Once upon a time, when money grew on trees, nobody had to worry about how they were going to pay the bills. If the phone bill came they would just pick a couple of tens off the tree in back.

Money was everywhere. In the fall, children would rake the yard and make huge money piles to jump in. Birds even built their nests of money.

One winter there was a very bad storm which froze all the money trees. Money was scarce and people panicked.

The government was brought in to mint money so that people could survive. However, the government was limited in the amount that they could produce. People were asked to conserve but because of the past availability of cash they were unable to balance a budget. Soon people were dying in the streets. In no time at all the entire population was wiped out.

The moral of the story is: Don't take what you've got for granted.

Today, students are taught at a very young age the value of money. The skills that they use to manage their savings and checking accounts will be useful in the future for managing house and insurance payments.

Lately more students are enrolling in classes in accounting, personal finance and bookkeeping. Business principles teacher Susan Seeman feels the increase is a good thing because, "people don't know enough about managing money."

There are many ways that students can learn to manage money. One is by having a savings or checking account. Another way is to get a small loan from a bank. If the loan is paid back right away, a good credit rating is established

It's never too early to start planning for the future Learning about money and how to manage it now will make balancing a budget in the future that much easier. Remember money doesn't grow on trees.

Dirty to flashy, cars reflect personality

It is -30 degrees outside and today of all days I have no one to bum a lift home from school with. I have about five utility friends; they're completely useless, but they're the only friends I've got.

One has a foreign sports car and is fun to go cruising around with on the weekends. I keep hoping that maybe her parents will adopt me so I can inherit some money. Another has a little VW and it just cracks me up because it always breaks down just when we want it to, like last Wednesday in front of the frat houses. Then my gearhead friend has a car that can do 75 mph in first gear . It's pretty fun if you're poor and can't afford to get your cheap thrills at Disneyland.

My fourth friend has a car we both hate. I love going to parties with her because we can do anything we want to that car; I wouldn't be surprised if we beat it to death one day. Finally, there is my dependable friend. She will give me a ride to my 8 a m. class even though she doesn't have to be at school until third period. Sometimes I feel a tinge of guilt for picking my friends by what type of car

they drive. I wou ld today too, if only I could find one of them.

Some psychologists say that there may be a connection between the cars people drive and their persona li ties. Studen t s at Southeast seem t o have varying opin ions on these ideas.

Senior Stu Kerns drives a 1962 Salmon Chrysler New Yorker He said he feels his car does reflect his personality "When the car looks scummy , I feel scummy. When it looks like a classic I fee l like a classic. Clean ing the inter ior is like adding a dab of pimple cream to me, " he said.

Senior Amy Brown said she felt her

Senior Kim Weigel drives a 1972 baby blue Firebird. She said she felt that " we both have a flashy style that is all our own ."

On the other hand senior Cathy Hill sa id , " Oh God , I hope not ," when asked if her 1965 dirty white Dodge reflected her personality. " The reason I dr ive it is because it is t he only transportation I have, " Hill added .

Junior Shaunie Wells sa id , " It gags me , and no way does it reflect my personality ," about driv ing her 1974 brownish rust Vega.

Sen ior Ann Essman carried a more impartial view of her 196 7 green Volkswagen " It never works; it breaks down all the time, but we have fun together ."

Many students comp lained that their cars didn't reflect their personalities because they cou ldn ' t a ff ord the ir own car , or they were forced to drive what and when their paren t s let them , or that they would just rather not c omment right now on their Schwinn.

Students grab a quick bite during lunch

Judging from the long lines and the number of students getting back to school two minutes after the lunchtime bell has rung, the fast-food restaurant is a very prosperous business.

Though time is limited, there are a 0 dozen or so fast-food restaurants in the >, Southeast area where students can eat m lunch.

E•~ They can step inside, sit down and

relax to eat, or just pull through the drivethru and eat in their car. "About a fourth of our lunchtime customers are high ~- school students," said Rax manager Bill Werger.

70>0 J:

Students have a wide variety of foods

to choose from. They can eat hamburgers , sub-sandwiches, runzas, chicken, roast-beef -sandwiches, or make themselves a salad with all the trimmings, to name a few. "That's why I go out most of the time . It gives you a chance to get away from the same old stuff the school

Super Sub

serves every day," sophomore Kim Greenwalt said.

Lunch is not the only time to enjoy a quick bite to eat. After a football or basketball game, students can pick up a burger and Coke since most stores are open until 10 or 11 p.m After cramming for a big physics test on an empty stomach is an ideal time to order a pizza And then again after the test is over , why not stop by and eat a Big Mac or two? "When-

ever I drive by Arby's, I just like to go in and eat a couple of potato patties!" said junior Joel Beckenhauer.

Fast-food restaurants offer a variety of foods for as little or as much as students wish to spend. An average lunch may cost anywhere from $2.05 for a single, fries, and Coke at Wendy's to $2.20 for a runza , onion rings, and Pepsi from the Runza drive-in . If a student is a vegetarian, he can make a salad·and go back for seconds, thirds, and fourths at Rax for $1.69. Students may pay about $3.50 for a small pizza; $5 for a medium pizza, and just under $7 for a large pizza from Godfathers or Valentines. "The prices are pretty good. I can usually find something good to chew on and it won't clean out my billfold," senior Kevin Patt said.

Whether there is a lot of time available or just a little, fast-food restaurants offer just about anything to eat at an affordable price.

Lincolnites get taste of fine dining

Steak, lobster, shrimp and ofcourse the wine list are just a few things people like to have when going out to dinner. While some people prefer to dine at "fancy restaurants ," the more casual places provide good food with less expense.

Jeff Wooters, waiter at the Lincoln Underground, says not too many high school students eat there. They usually have people aged 30 and up. When students do eat at the Underground it's most likely for a special occasion and they come in double dates. On special occasions the Underground likes to do special things for their customers such as singing to them or giving them a baked Alaska compliments of the house.

Ticas, Brannigans, Valentino ' s and Jax Shack are some favorites of students. They like the atmosphere and price range .

These places can be dressy but they don't have to be, whereas at the Underground you may feel out of place in jeans and a t-shirt. Deb Dilley , waitress at Valentino's, says that eating at Val's can be like being on a subway , there are a lot of people around but they aren't noticeable.

Many places keep their customers in the dark because it sets a romantic mood yet Ticas is bright and colorful. All restaurants have some sort of music. The Glass Onion prefers to play classical music while the Boar's Head usually has live entertainment.

The price of food has a lot to do with where people like to eat.You can still buy a hamburger at McDonalds for 3gq: but go to the Boar 's Head and it will cost $2.95. A small hamburger pizza at Valentino's costs $4.00 and a tempe-burger at the Glass Onion will cost $1.75.

Where to go for dinner "depends on what you're doing " senior Tom Luebke said. He said he feels "pizza is fine if you're going to a game, but for Homecoming Reuben's would be better ." When junior Martin Gibbens takes a girl o ut he likes to "leave it up to her."

Tennies, racquets costly but essential

The seventies. A decade of fun in the sun. In this decade more people were out having fun and bettering themselves through sports than any other decade. But what were these sports and a still bigger question, how much did it cost to participate in them? ·

Of the sports that grew during the seventies , tennis was among the highest. Tennis has come a long way from the grass courts and solid wood rackets. Tennis has grown to become the fourth most popular sport of the closing decade.

The reason for this may be the fact that tennis only needs two pieces of equipment, a racket and a tennis ball, both of which can be relatively low in cost. This encourages more people to start learning and to expand their knowledge of the game. In tennis a racket can run anywhere from $15 to $110, but most frequently a beginner buys a racket for $35. Balls for tennis come in cans of three. The cost for a can is around $3.

Another growing sport is racquetball. This is a combination of tennis and handball. The game is played in a small, indoor

room much like that of a handball court. Like tennis, the cost is relatively low because of the few pieces of equipment that are needed. For a person to play racquetball he must first find a racquetball court and then pay for the time on the court. This usually runs around $3 each if two people are playing. ·

Also like tennis, rackets can run anywhere from $20 to $175 but a beginner usually buys one for $30. Balls for racquetball also must be bought. This can run anywhere from $3.50 to $4.50. For those who are worried about how to stay trim during the winter, swimming is the sport that burns off the most

calories. During it's last quarter, the YMCA offered swimming lessons for anyone from a beginning swimmer to advanced lifesaving.

Jogging during the seventies was another of the more popular sports. While in tennis and racquetball two pieces of equipment are needed, there is only one piece of equipment that a jogger needs- shoes. A "better" running shoe can run anywhere from $25 to $50. But what is a running shoe? A running shoe is a specialized shoe that gives the runner support and keeps his feet from tiring out. Like everything else, there are extras that you can buy such as books on how to run , and running suits, shorts, and shirts. Many people enjoy these sports because there are so many places to do them at. A good place to do these activities is the "Y". Here, they teach how to play a sport and provide you with a place to play it, for a little cost.

Though the seventies have past , it's a sure bet that sports like tennis , racquetball, jogging and swimming will be coming into the new decade with style .

Dreams about faraway places come true

Traveling to a foreign country? If this dream seems like it could never become a reality, then here are some ways to get there that might never have occurred to you.

One possibility is working abroad ~ A work permit is always required but can usually be obtained in the U.S before leaving Don't expect to get-rich -quick. Most jobs will have long hours and low pay by American standards. According to the Whole World Handbook, "Don't carry your expectations for a job into the foreign culture; expect to be somewhat exploited. It usually isn't a highly profitable endeavor in terms of cash but priceless in terms of experience."

C · Senior Judy Gaba found another way

to travel abroad, by doing volunteer work. She went with the National Feder -

ation of Temple Youth to Israel for six weeks. She worked in a Kibbutz picking

pears and cotton and working in the kitchen. She said that it was hard work but , " it teaches you a lot and it was really fun ." Other forms of volunteer work include

the Peace Corps and Crossroads Africa. Another way of getting abroad is to study in a foreign country Graduates of the foreign equivalent of our high schools are equal to American college juniors. Because of this , American students are not eligible for study abroad until their jun ior year of college. High school students can travel

through programs like A.F.S., People to People and Youth for Understanding. Many Southeast students have gone , through these programs, to countries like Mexico , Spain, Sweden and Germany. They have found that their experience was a great way to learn a language and meet new types of people

Traveling alone or in a group is a final way to see other countries. Make sure to get an International Student I.D. It will qualify you for discounts at museums and hotels. One of the cheapest ways to travel is by using a combination of bicycling , camping and backpacking. A very inexpensive way to get all over Europe is to get a Eurail pass and travel by train. Although it is not impossible to see Europe on $5 a day , the most likely amount would be fifteen.

Traveling to a foreign country is a wonderful exprience. A whole world of new things can be seen. The cost may hold some students back, but with budgeting, travel can be quite inexpensive.

FTD delivery men bring scented gifts

The doorbell rings.

It is a tall good-looking man. He is in uniform, and he's holding a bouquet.

Darn! What rotten luck! He's wearing a FTD badge, and the flowers are addressed to Mom.

Giving flowers as gifts has always seemed to add special significance to any occasion. J:specially when Valentine's Day rolls , around, they may symbolize unspoken messages. Valentine's Day, however, isn't the only time that those florist deliverymen work overtime. Seasonal flowers which have religious

sentiment, like poinsettias at Christmas and Easter lillies at Easter are also very

popular.

People also purchase a great deal of flowers in the spring when there are many - weddings, and, of course, high school proms Prom time is the time of the year

BARB'S HALLMARK CARDS AND GIFTS

when Southeast students become more aware of flowers arid their prices with the annual purchasing of boutonnieres and corsages for dates.

Also not to be forgotten in the spring is dear old Mom and her special day in May. "Moms enjoy receiving flowers, and since the flowers are alive, they give a personal touch to the special occasion," senior Marci Mussman said.

Flowers even play a part in sports seasons at Southeast. As another means of displaying school spirit, pep-dubbers are often seen at sports events wearing yellow carnations with the black pipe cleaner letters "SE" on them.

Although flowers can be quite expensive and they don't have a long life span , they are always welcome at everyone's door.

SrudENTS WORRY AbouT ~OSTAGEs, d h

nly one short year ago if Southeast students were asked to place the countries of Iran or Afghanistan on a map, many woul probably have been incapable of doing so. Besides bemg oil prnducing nation , thei activities were not vitally significant to most Americans. However, during the span of this year, these countr·es ha e been overrun with invasions, revolutio s, and k"anappings directly affecting tne United St te s' foreign policy and people.

Americans were jolted by the news on November 4, 1979, that Iranian students in Tehran ha seiz-ed tne U.S. embassy and taken hostage the diplomats employed there. The ransom the students claimeci was that the former Shah of Iran, being treated for c;:ancer at a New York hospital, be returned to stand trial. The$hah, having been deposed in February of 1979, was viewed as a war criminal by Iranians, and they thought he deserved to be punished. ·

This breach by the Iranians of international law must have made a big impression upon Southeast students for in a Shield survey, most students ranked this event as the most important this year.

Senior Karla Heckel said the reason the Iranian situation was so important was because it "took lot of nerve for Iran to test the U.S. They were really just using blackmail to get what they wanted."

While Americans were preoccupied with trying to free their fellow citizens fr9m Iranian captors, the people of Afghanistan, a neighbor of Iran, were trying to free their country of invading Soviet troops. This war-like action from the Soviets enraged Americans. President Carter called for an immediate halt on Russian grain

exports and a boycott of the 1980 summer Olympic games held in Moscow.

With animosity building be ween the U.S. and the Soviet Union , Southeast stu ents really started thinking about how these events wou d affect them directly when the President called for the reinstatement of the draft. Although Carter made it e1ear that only registration would take pl9ce, thi issue produced a good deal o oncern among students.

Senior Jeff Headley summed up his and others' feelings concerning he draft by simply saying, "Being drafted scares me." e soon added, however, "I'd go, t&ough ."

TJi·s concern over the draft and Afghanistan was evidenced in the Shield random survey with only the Iranian situation ranking above them in jmp rtance.

Along with listing national even ts, the survey also included Sen. Ralph Kelly's bill whid\ raised the legal drinking age in Nebraska from age 19 to 20 lnterestingly enough, students ranked this low on the importance scale along with the skyrocketing prices of go d and silver and the 1980 presidential race.

Even though the prices of silver and gold seemed to have little effect on most Southeast students, the prnce of gas did. The ever-rising price of gasoline ranked as the third most significant event this year. Gas prices concerned many and took its toll ~n wallets, especially as days till payday were wistfully marked of.

Whether they are sighing over the price of fuel or worrying about their captive fellow Americans in Iran, most students are concerned about issues. Headley said he thought that high school students are mostly concerned with those issues that affect them directly "because the others don't reaclJ them as personally."

A more compromising vie was held by Jan Carlin, a senior, who said, "I think students are interested in both, but to me, the more important ·ssues are those that will affect me in the long run."

l~E QUARTER'S OVER

The silver has been put back on.the shelf, the cake ha~ been eaten, and the confetti has been swept up and thrown away. Southeast's 25th anniversary is over, but the memories of the celebration still remain.

Whether students paid attention to the fact that it was the silver year or not, they were continually surrounded by reminders of it. At the beginning of every month, 'the "Knightlife Banner" was sent to students' homes with"Silver Anniversary 1955-1980" printed .on it. Creative Writing Club sold note pads with the same insignia and DECA sold anniversary mugs. Clarion featured several articles about the school's history, Don Darnell compiled a facts and statistics booklet and Student Council spopsored an assembly series in which graduates were the speakers.

Almost every theme, for the activities that required one, was based on the anniversary: "A Knight in the Past" for Homecoming, "Silver Knights" for Nite of Knights, "Knights Gone By" for the Synkra Knights show, "A Knight to Reflect On" for Prom , and "Ot:ilY a Quarter, but worth a lot more" for the yearbook.

These themes and memorabilia became a part of the daily life at Southeast. By the end of the year, possibilities grew exhausted and many were glad that the party was over. Others still felt excited and nostalgic when reflecting on the 25th year.

"I think it's fantastic that they're having people come back to tell what it was like back then and to see all the changes that have taken place," said junior Mary Holm.

"The 25th anniversary is kind of getting old," said senior Meg Churchill, "because it has been used so much."

Senior Randy_Welch had the opposite opinion and said, "I don' t think they played it up enough."

Although the anniversary was the underlying theme for the year there were several other factors that made the year worthwhile.

Early fall weather wasn't a factor this year's cross country team had to contend with. The team enjoyed unseasonably mild temperatures during the ir afternoon workouts.

If one were to put a price tag on those factors that made the year at Southeast significant , he would find it a very difficult task.

It may be easy to consider items that already have a figure assigned to them such as the $8 for an activities ticket, the new mascot's $600 suit of armor, the $22,500 in four-year Regents scholarships won by nine seniors, the $6. 75 paid for a cap and gown, the $1.2 million estimate for the new addition, and $.65 spent on a type A lunch every day.

It would be a much harder task, however, to try to place a dollar amount on the excitement felt when the boys tennis, girls golf and girls gymnastics teams gained state titles, the disappointment felt when the girls swim team lost to Westside by six points in the state meet, the anticipation sophomores felt on their first day of high school, the anxiety seniors had when making plans for the following year, and the numerous other emotions, abilities, goals, and achievements that each of the 1650 students and faculty possessed.

Even though their total cannot be rung up on a register, the value of spirit, sports, academics, organizations, and the people and supportive community behind all that is a part of student life can be summed up by saying that Southeast may be "Only a Quarter, but worth a lot more."
