Case of the missing steps The finished products made the wait seem worthwhile Big improvements which resulted from construction propositions, brought excitement at different times all through the school year.

Waiting patiently, because of unexpected delays was common, but the finished products made the wait seem worthwhile.

New additions made including ramps and an elevator for the handicapped, some refurbishing of the Social Studies IMC, a new IMC encasing three class areas, and a new girls' gym gave the school a new appearance along with a few new problems.

The business, foreign language, and reading departments were expected to open October 2 in the new IMC. This prediction was made

before the fire marshal came into the picture. During the first few weeks of October, school officials anxiously awaited his approval of the new IMC. After the inspection of the new area, the actual use of the addition was put off for a couple of weeks because a set of steps was required for access in emergency situations.

A new girls' gym was built to accommodate all girls' athletics except gymnastics. This gym would also be used for community activities when it was free in the evening.

Girls' basketball coach Ms. Lois Jensen said, "I'm anxious for it to be finished. It will help with the coaching situation and girls will be able to get home at better hours after prac-

tice. " It had been proposed that the old girls' gym be used exclusively for boys' and girls' gymnastics Being available only for these teams, the equipment could be set up and used for practices without the constant need of takmg it down for gym classes during school hours.

From the time that school officials learned of the 1.2 million dollars made available by the Federal Government for these new additions, the provisions were made that the actual building had to begin within 90 days. Building began long ago, but good things take careful planning and time to complete

New decor helps atmosphere Old wall designs were painted over in solid color.

Newness at many angles greeted students as the new school year began. Construction, finished or still in progress, promised excitement for both old and new students.

A common place to all, the cafeteria, also possessed a new impressiveness of its own. Old wall designs were painted over in solid color, giving a clean and fresh appearance to the whole area.

The walls served as the support for advertisements numerous times throughout the year. Notices for dances, parties, meetings, and even a friend's birthday covered the walls inviting participation.

"The spirit that was gained from all the decorating was worth all the hours, but it's sad to think that only a

-Cafeteria

few minutes of ripping can destroy all the work," commented Sue Olson.

Another improvement adding to the overall effect was the thick orange carpeting that covered the wall from the floor to eye level.

Besides being attractive, the carpeting also absorbed much of the sound so that conversational tones were adequate, even with large numbers of people.

Traditionally, the cafeteria has been the hangout for everybody, and each class occupies its "own" area. Because there were few regulations concerning conversation, students were allowed the opportunity to catch up on all the news from the past weekend or to see people

who were not in classes together.

The openness also encouraged friendships between the different grade levels. And despite the high enrollment, acquaintances were made with many, which were obvious once the school setting disappeared.

Talking over a Coke was common, since two new pop machines were installed. This made the hot weather a little more tolerable for those students who could not leave school.

Not only were those frequent trips to the Village avoided for those who were not supposed to go, but even those with passes decided that the selection was better at school.

Blood level .

Increases with strain What appeared to be life's minor domestic problem , and even those things that loomed even greater in our futures , were the cause of a lot of pressure.

Every day, classes and activities posed new problems. Challenges seemed to rise from all sorts of situations. Whether it was a speech to be given for Mrs. Dunn , an essay due for Mr. Kolterman , or something new and different to be done concerning a job. Any of these activities could cause stress, and in different amounts for different people .

A pressure point associated with all students was the topic of minimum competencies. Westside was

points

one of an elite group in the state requiring these competencies, though more schools are expected to have them in the near future .

There were seven tests to pass before graduation , and no exceptions were made in the instance of failure . Even if only one test was not successfully completed , graduation could not take place until it was retaken and passed .

Most students had little problem in passing these tests since they dealt basically with common knowledge.

Passing these tests proved that survival was at least possible in the midst of everyday living.

'-Work

Extra sweat, extra hours, extra money Demanding the sacrifice of a few great weekends or big functions , jobs faced many students and requ ired maturity. So often , there was an urge to just call in " sick" or get someone else to work the hours because of something exciting that was scheduled.

It was a tough decision . Every one was always ready for fun , but money, unfortunately, was a big factor in determining the type of fun one could participate in . Sure, there were a few things that didn 't cost a cent , tennis,

Work bicycling , and some other sports, but the majority of events that were ponular with most called for some , if nc lot, of that limited supply of cash there was to spend .

With high costs , and after long hours of work, selections had to be made as to what was really worth the money. Wise investments were the goal for everyone . How could all those hours of working wages be gone within just a few minutes? It's still sometimes disappointing to everyone , but something beyond our power to control.

Buddies. Maria Morrison and Scott Perry show that it is possible to have fun and not be dating. Jody Addison also has fun while her friends play football.

-Dating

Harmless fun. Many students, like Carey Hultquist and Lisa LundQren , like being able to be friends without any stnngs attached .

Friendship, companionship, security Having a good time with the group or just by yourself, " dating" always added excitement to a regular school schedule . A friendly companion gave us a feeling of security when we went to parties or movies, and especially when something new took over the scene.

Casual relationships were common for most, and dating in groups was popular. Going out in a group eliminated to some extent, the habit of becoming withdrawn and too dependent on one person . Another

Dating big advantage of group dating was that it helped solve the problem of dividing the time spent with a " boyfriend or a girlfriend" and that need to get rowdy with the "regular" group.

Sure, there were quiet evenings too, when a dinner and a movie , or just watching television was most fitting. Everyone enjoyed the peace of a lazy evening sometimes, and saving money was always popular if it was possible.

omecoming '78 Long daylonger night Prepared or not, Friday came and brought with it a spirited parade and a victorious game.

Although the announcement in homeroom Friday morning said that only three floats and three cars had entered the parade, spirit was not dampened. As the day progressed, spirit perked up as students decorated last minute cars and added them to the parade list. In the end , the parade turned out to be over a mile long .

At 2:10p.m., classes were dismissed and Pacific Street became a 'Tlass of confusion as spectators watched entries cruise down the parade route. Horns and screams of "Fire-up Westside " and "Beat T J" could be heard for blocks.

The night brought a bit of chilly weather as the Warriors destroyed the Yellowjackets 21-8. The weekend was even more uplifted by the victory which helped to add to the excitement.

Every weekend there's a run on Whoppers at Burger King. But, the run was not on hamburgers, but rather on fights and socializing. Students frequented the fast food res-

Unique to every school was the way they celebrated on the weekends. Indeed, Westside was no exception. Public or private, indoor and outdoor, summer and winter, parties were all around . From the cornfields in Bennington to the club-

was the day of verification . Often , students planned in advance to insure a good turnout. Spreading maps and other information got people enthused, but could cause problems before anything was ever started.

Partying didn 't always mean a large group of people gathered together. Sometimes the best parties were made up of a small number of close friends just together for a good time.

Though parties were sometimes

Each school week, as Friday drew near, rumors spread of the latest bulletins of upcoming parties. Friday

But we didn't have much of an Indian summer, or a cool fall, for that matter.

Five minute changeover just that fast.

Some hot days were experienced at the start of September. Days were spent trying to keep fading tans alive, taking dips in the pool and getting involved in some last minute summer sports. During the school day, the air conditioner IMC's were

plagued with snowstorms. It was inevitable that on Friday or Saturday, flakes would fall and spoil a good weekend.

Probably the most depressing of all storms, fell on New Year's Eve, which left five inches of snow and treacherous streets. Bad weather

What We Had to Offer- 47

It started August28 It's probably the parties, the lunches at Wendy's, and the days of vacation that we will remember most, but what about those hours In school? We avoided thinking about the importance, we looked for the fun.

Can we say that we really looked forward to small groups, labs, or those long large gro1.1p8? Sometimes we dl(j- remember going to watch Physics films In the IMC and always missing the main concept?

And who could forget the water fights or the ''vibrating chemical bonds" in chemistry, notto mention the "Dr. Flub" appearances In large group.

Learning to square dance or disco may not have been totally academic, but it was a part of the requirements in gym class.

Then, there was always a cortstant barrage of movies and notes in U.S. History large group. And nobodY ever stopped to consider Juit wfly they were trying to finish three c~ ters in accountfng -just to get done- or did we care?

Something about the acad8miC program obviously intrigued us enough that we did care. The classes, labs, hom , atid other facets of school irripr us enough to want to remember all that happened In those seven. bQurs a day -deapite not a theme.

50- NHS, National Merit

Battle of brains

High percentages continue to achieve national recognition Academic accomplishments were rewarded by two national high school programs. These programs were the National Honor Society and the National Merit program .

In the fall , the preliminary SAT (PSAT) was given to interested juniors. From these tests, the top scorers, competing nationally, qualified for National Merit semi-finalists. An outstanding image was formed here when all the semi-finalists went on to become finalists.

"We have more finalists than any other school in Nebraska and I think that is pretty neat," stated Mr. Lynn Hansen, college counselor.

National Honor Society accepts approximately 100 students each

year. These students are chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service to the school. " I'm proud to be a member of National Honor Society, because it lets me know that I can achieve my academic goals, " said Lynne Bertch , junior.

Means of acknowledgment for exceptional attitudes and accomplishments were an important part of high school , and will always be. The strong desire to work for these rewards kept the students active and concerned about their welfare.

These efforts not only set them apart during their days of education , but steered them on a straight path towards a successful future.

Present information. The college bulletin board near the upper trophy case keeps Beth Madison, senior, in touch with college offerings.

College planning is big business for seniors.

With approximately 75 percent of each class of graduates going on to higher education, it's understandable why the Guidance Center receives the acclaim it does for prospective college shoppers.

Nearly half of the college-bound students pack their bags for colleges out-of-state with emphasis on east coast institutions.

Mr. Lynn Hansen, college counselor, helps students obtain necessary information on college entrance requirements. For most of the local graduates, admittance is generally not a major problem when nearly one-third of the college-bound grads go on for higher education with scholarship backing.

With 11 National Merit Finalists10 percent of the state's total, it can be seen even more clearly why there is the emphasis on college planning and preparation. Primarily a college-bound program, the curriculum helps accent this aspect of lifestyle here.

Westside, according to Hansen, has probably twice the number of students going on to college as other area Omaha high schools.

It's no wonder there is never an empty chair in the Guidance Center.

Geographical. Mirre Versleegh, foreign exchange student, researches an area in which she would like to attend college after finishing her education here.

.-Parent Involvement

Let's begin an ordinary day at school. For those students who don't drive and live too far away to walk, mom or dad provide an access to school. The student then proceeds to attend classes which he has chosen with the consent of a parent or guardian. Mom and dad also provide fees for materials, as well as their tax paying dollar, which is just about the only money that keeps Westside operating.

Other things parents are involved in are numerous. There are parentteacher conferences, which many

people feel is a worthwhile cause and should be highly attended. Parents also support athletic events here both in cheering and with the formation of a club so parents can be athletic boosters. Many of the paraeducators are parents whose job is to lend a helping hand to teachers in all of the various departments.

The very successful junior class fund-raising project this year was greatly helped by parents who willingly supported the students and bought their candles.

A day of school cannot begin or end without some involvement from every parent. Parents are here to stay, because of their support and involvement.

Mass confusion. On the day of parentteacher conferences, an information booth was set up in order to help parents find their way through the building.

Point of interest. Ms. Sheryl Wiitala and her student teacher discuss a mutual point of interest with Ms. Rita Murphy.

No homework. Tim Mortenson , junior, ~pends

his free time in the cafeteria, which to some students was the most popular place to study or socialize.

-IMC's

Social Studies, English , or Math IMC's were too crowded? The IMC's in the west end of the building were usually less crowded and offered a comfortable atmosphere for studyin g.

With the addition to the west end during the summer, the old Business IMC was remodeled and a new area combining the Business, Foreign Language, and Special Education departments was created. The new IMC was modern , air conditioned , and contributed almost unlimited space for study. " Although the subjects were not directly related , we were all able to work side by side," stated business instructor, Ms. Ann Royle. She also explained that the teachers who taught in the same departments were all grouped together in one part of the IMC .

According to Chris White, senior, " The teachers in the Business IMC did not hassle you about talking as much as in the other IMC 's and I liked the way it was set up. " But if this was still not the best place of study for you , the Science IMC was another alternative. Again, this roomy air conditioned room was a quiet retreat from the noisier, congested IMC's. "If I had something very important to study," said Bruce Tully, sophomore, " I would usually go to the Science IMC. There I did not have to rush to get a seat, and once I was there I could concentrate on what I was studying without being disturbed."

Free time. Janet Lynch and Anne Burke, sophomores, use the silence provided in the quiet room to do the assignments for most of their classes.

Modem offices. Tom Dobson , junior, likes the teachers' new offices in the new Business anf Foreign Language IMC's.

Not just teachers. The IMC's house teachers' offices and even more importantlY., the resource material for students. M1ke Hughes, junior, uses the head phones in the English IMC.

Meeting place. Many of the IMC's are used for meeting places for clubs. Mr. Kim LaPier and Mr. Dan Miller have an organizational meeting for Ski Club in the English IMC.

Final plans. The last meetin!iJ before leaving for Colorado was held by Sk1 Club in the English IMC and was well attended . 路

)ense population in new areas " Where should we meet 3rd mod?" As students planned to meet friends during free mods those not leaving school , or heading for the cafeteria usually ended up in the Independent Media Centers or IMC's.

In every IMC groups of students could be seen receiving help from a teacher, checking reference materials, studying and socializing.

The three most popular IMC's were the English, Math , and Social Studies all located in the east wing of the building.

Their easy accessibility populated them with students and made them common "hang outs." The fact that most students took a course in each subject area also contributed to their popularity.

For the students who did not intend to concentrate completely on homework, the SS IMC offered a place where a minimum amount of talking was permitted.

But a smaller, " quiet room ," for those who did not want to be bothered with noisy distractions, was also available.

Toby Shropp, junior, used the quiet area

because " sometimes the larger area was too crowded and the quiet room offered another more noise-free place to study."

If you were in a rush to get an assignment done or you didn't want your train of thought interrupted , the English IMC was the most logical place to go.

According to Mr. Robert Dornacker English instructor, the IMC was " on~ of the few places where students could do their best work by themselves without disturbances. There are also enough teachers there at one time that a student can always get help from one of them ."

The more mathematically inclined students commonly spent the1r unschedul~d time in the 짜ath IMC, finishing up ass1gnments, gett1ng help on algebraic problems, and utilizing the computer in the computer room connected to the IMC. Of course, its low conversational tones offered an area to study, not only for Math students, but for anyone wh0 was willing to work.

Battle of brains

Just how boring or exciting can the same old thing be?

Sitting for 60 minutes in a large group could sometimes seem like an eternity, and other times, if it was interesting , would end too soon . There was such a variety from one large group to another -each was a different experience.

Lectures, films, and tests made up a good percentage of most large groups.

After all, the function of large groups as to gather all students taking a certain course with the intent of giving new or overall information, organizing projects, or quizzing students on information gained in small groups.

The science department made exceptions quite regularly, though . A typical chemistry large group often began with some type of "musical entertainment."

The performances ranged from jazz to hard rock, and most of those involved

were chemistry students themselves.

The extra effort put forth by the entertainers earned extra credit points that helped when attempting to negotiate a close grade.

History large groups were somewhat different. The U.S. History classes usually listened to lectures or viewed films.

A regular sociology large group was planned on the basis of inviting a representative from certain community organizations that dealt with social problems and efforts to correct them .

Other departments utilized the idea of a lar~e sett1ng also. Certain math and Eng.hsh courses had weekly meetings, but 1n most cases, these corresponded only to the more advanced classes in those areas.

Notetaking time. Most large groups utilize some time for taking notes, whether it be on an assignment, lecture, or even a movie.

Introduction. Mr. Rod Karr, social studies instructor, introduces a film on the Depression to his U.S. Advanced Placement History students.

Marriage work. Mr. Bill McCormick helps Kathy He in, senior, on the budget part of her marnage project for Sociology.

-Small Groups

Individualized learning was the concept that initially began the modular scheduling program. Small groups, large groups, and labs were thus adopted to help the program .

With small groups, learning was much better for both those who needed extra help and those who excelled.

Small groups usually consisted of about 20 students. Here the teacher went over material, lectured, and conducted discussions. Individual help was stressed during and after small group, so that the student was given an opportunity to completely understand all of the material.

Personal perspective on the subject was given by both students and teachers during small groups. Relating the material to the students' life

was another way teachers were able to better teach, because of the small size of the group.

Jokes and laughter often accompanied subject matter and teachers and students learned about not only the subject, but about each other too. Varying methods of teaching was an important tool in reaching students and forming important instructing relationships.

Often, small groups provided not only education, but a chance to get to know the teacher, other students, and the material better.

Field trips included everything from going out for donuts to a tour of a funeral home. Sure, these werE two examples very different from one another, but they represented the variety of field trips that were available at Westside.

Besides being fun and breaking the monotony of everyday class meetings, field trips provided asset~ in education that were not possible in the classroom.

A good example was the study of mental retardation for a Sociology unit. A trip was sponsored to the Glenwood State School and Hospital for the mentally handicapped. "It was an interesting experience because we were able to see how other people in society live," said Beth Kaiman, senior. She also emphasized that they gained a deeper understanding of mental retardation and its effects on people.

Outings could be classified as field trips according to the subject and those involved. For those in debate, any of their meets, in or out of town were field trips. Likewise, the Freshwater Ecology classes were always ready to spend a 60 minute class period at Towl Park fishing out specimens.

Besides those academic trips, a busload of team members from any sport going to meet at another school was a field trip in its own way -probably the most enjoyable kind .

No doubt, the various field trips were a unique encounter, and whether fun or strictly informative, they were remembered as the class period路doing " something different. " Familiar face.

Grill man. Tim Corry, sen ior, chose to work at a steak restaurant. He now has a lot of experience in the culinary arts.

Making money and getting experience in the world of business were two important objectives of students who held jobs. Whether these jobs were found through school-sponsored programs or on their own , multitudes of students established themselves in some type of business. Some, if they wanted to, could even continue in their job after high school.

According to Ms. Lesl ie Royle, one of the two Distributive Education Clubs of America sponsors, " We had one student that had worked his way up to assistant manager in a fast food restaurant, and after he graduated, he would become a full-time manager. And , he was making a lot of money, ' This was just one example of what the 70 kids in DECA were doing.

Many other in-school or schoolsponsored programs were offered .

But, many students who elected to work or did it out of necessity, were employed in the after-school hours or on weekends.

Jim Musgrave, senior, found his own part-time job to earn money for college. " I wanted to go to school next year, and I had to work, because I needed the money to go."

Whatever the reasons for working, an abundant number of students could be found in nearby restaurants, office buildings, or retail stores earning money.

Bands

Mid-court to Colorado "What a band!" Marching band's theme was vividly expressed by all members on their newt-shirts. The new shirts were more comfortable than uniforms and were easier to wear for pep band. They were a requirement for the ten mile marchathon and the ski trip-tour to Colorado and Western Nebraska.

Band members earned money for the trip by selling candles, sausage, cheese, pop corn, fruitcakes, and participating in the marchathon . Each member had to raise $115 forth e trip. The trip was a success, with only four injuries. However, the ski trip was not the only event the band was involved in.

Marching band performed for every home football game, for both pre-game and half-time shows. The band started practicing in mid-August for the fall season, one week prior to the opening of school. Flag Squad and twirlers put in extra hours before each game to perfect their routines.

The band used their spirit for special pep band marches through the halls in the mornings of major basketball games, as the marching band did for all home football games. " Downbeat" was the second big concert the Warrior's prepared for, and anticipation for the concert was great as the band revved-up for the end of the year.

Musicians could be found in the band room any mod of the day. Along with the dedicatd musicians were the " rowdies, " a group of highly spirited bandroom inhabitants, some of which were very interested in music and others just liked to have a good time.

Band was not all hard work. Mr. Bob Jenkins was

often found in the band room making jokes and being involved with the students.

Jenkins said , "In marching band, we strived for entertainment, that is we didn't kill ourselves with spit and polish ." Band was a success in that it always entertained in one form or another.

Quality not quantity Containing a select group of members, orchestra worked steadily throughout the year in preparation for their performances. Though the appearances were few in number, the quality of music made up for the limited appearances.

The members of orchestra were recommended based on their talent and achievements in the music department. Those that played the string instruments were given the opportunity to perform only through orchestra because there was no part in the band selections for them . Other members were those selected from band with outstanding records and interest. Another unique aspect was the sounds of unusual mstruments such as the oboe, flute, and piccolo. All areas of instru-

mentation were attempted to be covered by orchestra.

The strings players met every week for 240 minutes besides the scheduled class times on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. The times spent practicing paid off well when the concerts and clinic appearances came around.

One concert was held before Christmas break, and the main concert, the Honors Concert was held on May 24. During January, the annual clinic was held and the jr. high string players were asked to come and join in the experience of having a guest conductor. Individuals' problems were dealt with , and an overall better sound was produced because of thesession.

Elite vocalists try to do it all Preparation for concerts was the most important aspect of Warrior Voices' training . Tryouts for the group were held in February. These tryouts consisted of a solo session , matching pitches, sight reading music, and filling out a questionnaire. After all these requirements were met, the students were graded and those with the best scores were chosen as members of the group.

Once a position was secured in the chotr, the intense work began . Striving to be the best, the choir performed difficult pieces in foreign languages such as German pieces by Bach, and Latin pieces by Corsi. The choices dealt mainly with classical pieces.

The big concerts were the " Oratorio " in November, the " Messiah " in December, the Spring Concert, and District contests in April. The choir has taken a " Superior" rating at

di~trict for the past 13 years, thts was the highest possible mark and indicated that the choir worked hard , and that their efforts were well worth the time spent.

The choir had other events they looked forward to also.

They had fund raising projects going on most of the time . Popcorn and M&M's sales, car washes, and the Rockathon were a few of their projects.

The money was used to finance the yearly choir tour. The goal of each member was to earn $1 08 for the buses and rooms for the trip to Minnesota, Wisconsin , and Iowa.

Besides recording two albums, the club was involved in other events such as parties, newsletter publications, and community services. These activities were coordinated by the officers. These events kept the members busy and interested in the group.

These smaller sections were Dance Troup , Mime, and Reader's Theater. The two sponsors for these segments of the club were Mr. Jim Ogden and Ms. Lynn Price, both instructors in the English department. The four officers for the club were

Pam Kenney, Cassie Moore, Gina Carasi, and Kevin Rice.

These officers were elected by the members of each of the smaller clubs.

Each particular club had its own chairperson who was responsible for that segment of Thespians. Tim Latenser was the leader of Dance Troup. This club learned and performed all types of dances and especially enjoyed those that interested them most.

Pam Kenney was the head of

the Mime group, which was credited for their fine performances. The Mime group was seen in black costumes and ~rang~ paint markings coverIng the1r faces. One of the main performances of the Mime group was at an old folks home to try and help boost their spirits.

The third segment of Thespians was Reader's Theater and was headed by Mike Richmond .

The objective of this group was to entertain through the readings that they gave. The Reading's Theater was entered in several contests and placed second in the state competition .

At club meetings, the groups got together and performed for each other. These meetings and performances were held about once a month, and were a good time for all those involved.

Endless practice. Many rehearsals are held by the Reader's Theater to get their program just right for presentation .

Along with these two plays was the one-act play which had performances both at school and for the state competition. " It was a lot of work, and took a lot of time, but it was worth it," said Diane Murphy, junior, and an active member of both drama and Thespians.

The one-act play, " The Marriage of Barillion ," was about a man who was supposed to marry the person he loved ; but, because of countless complications, he ended up marryins his mother-in-law. This really didn 't bother his mother-in-law, because she was madly in love with him . It was an interesting and funny comedy, which lent enjoyment to its audience.

Five cast members, Chris Beem , Richard Betz, Gina Carusi , Geoff Jordan, and Diane Murphy received Outstanding Actor nominations for the state competition . State competition was held in Kearney during the first part of February.

Reasons for participating in these plays ranged from being important for a future career to just being something to do with extra time.

Other activities carried out

by Forum were the annual pumpkin contest and a two page list of several areas of problems and improvements to be given to SAB. "This year the problem of homeroom representation or the lack of it was solved. At one meeting, we had over 130 homerooms represented and it has never been under 11 0," stated Mangiamele.

Other activities and a scholarship fund were the activities of the student Advisory Board, or SAB. The

list of activities for SAB included parking, United Way, fund raising, the Homecoming bonfire, Santa Claus and a mural between the cafeteria doors, to name just a few.

SAB also sponsored "Paradise Avenue" the spring formal. This was new this year and took the place of Sadie Hawkins. According to Russ Conser, president of SAB, "We tried to diversify our activities, and get a lot more people involved."

Alphabet soup In an effort to teach students about the interesting and practical aspects of the business world , the business department formed three clubs. Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA), and Future Medical Assistants (FMA) taught members about jobs in the fields of business and medicine.

One of the clubs, FBLA, was headed by Ms. Gaylene McCreery. Her supervision of the active club helped produce many projects and activities.

During the year, they had a Christmas party, numerous breakfast meetings, an innertubing party at Memorial Park, and attended the annual con-

vention at the Hilton. The business activities of various fields emphasized through speakers and field trips were benefic ial to members. The personal value of the club was described by Dixie Dawson , senior, " It's beneficial for business because you meet people who are interested in the same field ."

DECA was another business club that included not only club activities, but classes in Distributive Education and On-the-Job Training. A highlight" of the club was pointed out by DECA sponsor Ms. Rowe . " The club provides a channel for competition . In the course of the year they compete in Regional , State and possibly National Competi-

tion."

In add ition , at the close of the year, the approximately 90 members held a banquet for their employers.

The last business club was FMA, sponsored by Ms. Donna Kendall. The club's activities were to encourage interest in the fields of medicine. Although the club is for those interested in being medical assistants, anyone was allowed to join .

Some of the activities sponsored by the club were bake sales, and the annual Bloodmobile. The success of the Bloodmobile was due to the club's efforts to ~et students as well as the entrre community involved .

Conflicts in equations, -war involve sm路a ll memberships Math Club, Debate, and a new club called War Games continued to draw members which was a good sign for small clubs. The traditional activities that each club participated in had been popular for years, and War Games' new members brought ideas and interest that built a strong foundation for any possible conflicts.

For those who enjoyed smaller clubs , War Games or Math Club may have been the most popular. Being a relatively new club , War Games included about ten students from all three grades. They met on

Wednesday nights and played geographical and political games (simulated and actual) involving world-wide issues.

The club sponsor, Mr. Bill Hayes, felt it was a fun club , somewhat simi liar to chess, but more practical. " It helps the students gain sharp political and military skills," stated Hayes.

Math Club has been around for some time, about ten years and also met weekly, besides having their contests on Saturdays. There were approximately 14 members, and they

joined the club according to interest, not skills or achievments. One of the events they held was the annual Math Bowl on March 10. The club sponsor, Mr. AI Zimbleman felt that the club's membership may have been small , but it will always continue .

For the very argumentative, opinionated or just interested students, there was the Debate Club. The club was coached by Linda Dunn , and her excellent suggestions and knowledge of the field contributed to the team 's success.

What did you say? Caroline Morfeld , senior, is amazed by a statement that was made in a debate meet.

Specializing in prowess The variety of clubs offered ranged from Future Medical Assistants to Z-Ciub , but there were also those for the athletic student. Subsurfers, Power Club, Archery, and Trapshooters gave students a chance to work on their unique talents and interests.

For those students with interests in scuba diving there was the Subsurfers, sponsored by Mr. Harley Hardison . Although it was not necessary to be a certified diver, Hardison felt that it was an advantage, in that a certified diver could use the school's equipment. Several Tuesday nights a month the members met in the pool, but Hardison also offered numerous trips to Galveston, The Florida Keys, and Table Rock. The

club had grown from 20 members last year to 32 this year.

Power Club offered students with an interest in conditioning for sports or purely for body building, and opportunity to do so in an organized club. Out of the 25 members, approximately 15 had made the 1000 pound club. The requirements for this club included bench pressing 200 pounds, squatting 300 pounds, curling 100 pounds, military press 150 pounds, and dead lifting 250 pounds.

Another goal that the members worked toward was the Nebraska State Teenage Competition for power lifting.

If water or weights weren't your interests, then there's Archery or Trapshooting, for the students with the steady

hands and sharp eyes. The Archery Club may have a small membership, but those people in it were dedicated and participated in numerous competitions throughout the year. Over the eight years the club has existed they have acquired a number of first and second place trophies .

Not as old as the Archery Club, the Trapshooters Club had 25 members in its second year of existence. Practice was limited to fall and spring when they held practices at the Papillion Gun Club. Fall practice was to prepare for the hunting season, and spring practice sharpened the members up for a nationwide competition held in Doniphan, April 20-22.

Students spent hours building the Raid can and the two huge bees that went with it. But.

all of the hard work finally paid off on the day of the parade as the Z-Ciub-lnteract float took first place.

Some other activities included hot dog sales, a powder puff football game, work on the Salvation Army Tree of Lights, a sledding party, caroling at an old age home, and individual projects that the members got to choose themselves. "It was really fun for me to get involved with people outside the school and also to get to know those in the school bet-

ter, " said Mary McKenzie, president of Z-Ciub .

Not all people thought Interact was all it was cracked up to be. Jim Glazer, junior, said , "I really had a good time and we did a lot of activities, but it wasn 't always as organized as it should have been ."

Overall , most people have .found these clubs to be a positive experience. " It was a great opportunity to meet people and to volunteer your service to the community," stated Nancy Mammel , junior.

Between 2nd and 3rdquarter Sure, the game was one of the main attractions on weekend nights. But when the second quarter was over and the players left the court or field, all eyes focused on the halftime performances.

Drill Squad and Squires became regulars to take the center stage at most home games. Each squad took a turn marching in front of the crowd with their matching uniforms and their nervous smiles. This year's routines ranged from a classical piece called Opus I performed during a football game to a more modern song by "The Cars" performed at the last basketball game.

"Everyone got a little nervous before the game, but once we were out there we had fun, " Lori Kuhl explains.

These two groups always had a dinner to psych up for their performances. They also had dinners when they weren 't performing , if it was a home game. "The dinners were where you really got to know people, " said Kathy Finn . She went on to explain that they usually had a big cake and received carnations.

Popular routine. The happy faces for the Drill Squad members reflect their well-received routine performed during halftime.

But all this fun did not come without practice.

Almost every day during the summer and for at least two weeks before a performance at 7 a.m . the squads appeared bright and early for a good workout.

Ski Club, Horticulture Club, Welcome to Westside .

Old, new, on your feet Interest and fun were the only two reasons that a person needed to join Ski Club, the Welcome to Westside group, or Horticulture Club.

Ski Club took trips to various ski areas in Colorado. A large amount of snow definitely benefited the activities of the group and they were fortunate to have it every time they went. Sue Sharpe, junior, went on a trip over Christmas vacation and said, " It was really fun , there were a lot of people and I think everyone had a good time."

The two trips that Ski Club took were over Christmas Vacation and the other at the end of February.

As students came here for school because they were transferred , moved, or for any

other reason , they usually found an extremely hard task in finding new friends and their way around the building .

Out of a student count of nearly 2,200, these new students often went unnoticed by others or just thought of as " one of those people who have been here for awhile that you just never saw." To overcome this problem, a club called 'Welcome to Westside, was formed and was headed by Ms. Peg Johnson , dean of girls, Ms. Sharon Bjornsen , and Mr. Gary Cunningham, both counselors. " The purpose was simply to better acquaint the student with the school," said Johnson.

Days when most students were out of school, Welcome to Westside members were at

Enrollment in the club was nearly 35, and consisted of new students and those who had been in attendance for awhile.

Among the activities of the club were random meetings, sledding parties, a pizza party, and slide presentations to acquaint new students with different aspects of the school. Johnson added , " The club helped them feel more comfortable in their adjustment to a new school. " Horticulture Club had always been a small , but active club.

Most members were interested in plants and plant life. A lot of work in the greenhouse was required by all of the members.

'Lance' Potential apparent in 'Pacemaker' staff It's a unique world in the annex. Fondly called the "J" room by its devoted workers, this room provides the atmosphere for the production of a newspaper that has become one of the top high school papers in the country.

The "Lance" has been judged the best in Nebraska four out of the past five years. It has also received a five star "All American" rating by the National Scholastic Press Association. This rating puts the "Lance" among the top 20 newspapers in the nation.

The staff was the youngest in "Lance" history.

This younger staff should have a positive effect on the newspaper next year according to one section editor, Robert Greenberg.

Vanleeuwen agrees, "The paper should run a lot more smoothly."

At a summer workshop at the University of Oklahoma at Norman the staff developed a strict modular design style. The "Lance" staff was also named the outstanding staff at this workshop.

In November, the "Lance" was awarded the coveted "Pacemaker" award from the American Newspaper Publisher's Association as the nation's best bimonthly newspaper.

some were known to just a few; and some were important to just one; but the staff tried to include all that was possible in the book.

The dream, shared by all members of the yearbook staff, was to produce an everlasting remembrance of this special year in high school. The staff felt that if the book was enjoyed by all whenever they looked at it, then the time and effort would be worth all that went into the production of the 1979 "Shield."

Involvement and emotion It's hard to describe something that holds a different meaning to each person. The sports program is one such subject. An accurate description just can't be confined to a few words- too many apply.

Each person associated with sports possesses a different view and amount of involvement. One who is actively involved in the physical contact of sports certainly has different feelings than the person acting as the spectator cheering in the stands.

No doubt, emotions also play a big part. A mood can set the tone for any event. Getting "fired up for the game" is always of vital importance. The crowd is one of the basic units involved in an athletic match. True, the players have the actual contact, but the support from the crowd establishes a sound purpose for the victory.

The players, the crowd, and the spirit all put the event 1n a competitive scene. True competition always demands more work for the win, being a victory for all involved.

As a result, we're still looking for a theme.

Championship plans fade fast Plans for a state championship were formulated in mid-August.

Plans were heightened by a pre-season poll that ranked the Warriors first in the State. The opener with Millard, a 14-7 victory, reinforced both pollsters and optimists. And then came Burke.

At halftime no points had been accumulated on the scoreboard .

Just after the kickoff in the third quarter, Westside fumbled on their own 15 yard line. Burke took advantage of the turnover, and put seven points on the board . The Warriors were defeated 7-0. Continuing their downward trend , consecutive

losses to North and Prep dashed the Warriors ' play-off hopes.

The low point of the season came with the loss to North. In the first three possessions of the game, the Warriors moved the ball inside North 's 10-yard line. The first time the Warriors fumbled , the second time seven points were put on the scoreboard, the third time an interception pass was thrown , and North went 90 yards for a touchdown .

Thus, when it should have been 210, it was 7-6. Coach Dan Young commented , " We continued to play poorly and ended up losing." The Warriors were defeated 19-7. Then

there was Prep.

At halftime, Prep went to the locker room with a 7-0 lead. Later in the third quarter the Warriors scored , but was unable to make the extra point. Going into the fourth quarter, Prep was ahead 7-6. Both teams scored in the fourth quarter, but as the clock ran out, Prep was still leading 15-12. Due to a knee injury in that game, Joe Mancuso, senior, was out of play for the remainder of the season . Teammate, Doug Friedman , also a senior, was unable to see action after the third game because of a knee injury.

Injured, but successful. Doug Friedman was not able to see action after the third game due to a knee injury. Even though , Friedman was still appointed to the Second All-Conference Team .

Touchdowns were not popular for Tony Brown, senior. Brown saw limited action , but did score one touchdown for the Warriors.

Rugged schedule spells defeat Disappointment reigned in the Warrior lockerroom.

Coach Young stressed , "A tie with any one of these three teams (Prep, Burke, North) would have put us (Warriors) in the playoffs. Also, if a couple of different teams would have won, we could have gotten into the playoffs.''

The Warriors' schedule did not help them gain any early-season confidence. Coach Young explained, "We played five pretty tough teams at the beginning of the season. If a couple of the last four games had been sprinkled in at the beginning, it would have helped."

The leading pass catcher and scorer for the Warriors was Greg Havelka, senior. Havelka was a two-

year starter for the Warriors. He made' Second Team All-Metro and r路eceived honorable mention for AllState. In addition to Havelka, Jim lathrop made All-State honorable mention. Lathrop also merited the first team All-Metro.

Dan Sweetwood, senior, was the Warriors' leading tackler. Coach Young commented, "Dan has good strength and quickness and is a real good competitor. He is the most highly recruited player since Craig Johnson (1977). Sweetwood merited first team All-Metro. He also made Second Team路AII-State. He was named Most Valuable Player on defense along with teammates Curt Erixon and Chris lngrim.

The Warriors closed their season

with four straight impressive wins with equally unimpressive teams.

Coach Young stated, "Late in the season the offense did quiet well .

They scored an average of 30 point in the last four games."

Coach Young concluded, "The boys continued to work hard throughout the season . At one poin we were 2-3, but we finished 6-3.

With this outcome, we tied for second in the Metro with Ralston ."

Leading rusher for the Warriors was Jim Wright, junior. Wright had 113 carries for a total of 403 yards. He scored three touchdowns for the team.

Injury prevailed Tom McDonald , defensive end, from further action . McDonald was out for the majority of the season due to a kneÂŁ injury suffered in the Bryan game.

Relaying plays was an important part of Chris Adam's job. Adams, a junior, played offensive guard and was responsible for getting the play from Coach Young and informing the huddle w~at play to run next.

Fourth leading tackler on the team was Curt Erixon, senior. Erixon was a defensive starter throughout the season . He had 26 unassisted tackles and four interceptions.

Defensive teamwork played an important role in the JV football team's success. According to Coach Rick Collura it was "the best defense we've had in three years."

Same type Junior varsity football team won their third consecutrve American Division Metro Title. According to Coach Rick Collura, "This team improved every game; the longer they played the better they got."

Collura attributes their success to the fact that the defense was the "best that we've had in three years." Jeff Hurley, sophomore linebacker, and Allen Dale, junior weakline backer, led the defense with Hurley being voted the best defensive player. Both received the title of " double man handlers" where they earned one point for each tackle; three points for unassisted tackles; and five points for special defensive plays.

Steve Freche, junior tackle, commented, "the coaching staff put out a lot of time and effort, our onlY. weakness was in our special teams. 路 For the reserve football team, "stickwith-it-ness" was the greatest strength.

Despite a 1-7 season, "There were very few quitters," according to Coach Don Gilpin.

Their problems revolved around a lack of teamwork. "We could never put it

together . . . There is not success wi out teamwork," commented Gilpin.

Steve Scarff, linebacker, led the defense with the most tackles. On thE offense, runningback, Kevin Corbel, an impressive season with four cons~ utive games in which he rushed over 100 yards. Mark Juliano, though, led team on both offense and defense as runningback and a 'monster' back.

Sara Lockwood , senior, broke the all time scoring record by shooting one over par 35 at their home golf course , Cedar Hills. Lockwood also placed third at State. Coach Jensen commented, "Sara has a lot of experience behind her. She was a great asset to our team ."

The only dual loss went to Duchesne.

The Warriors were beaten by only four strokes. Joann Mierendorf, senior, said, " We knew Duchesne was a really good team, and that the score would be close .

Mierendorf contributed a lot to the team . She placed in both the Ralston /

Westside liwitational and in the Duschesne Invitational. She also compete< at Metro and State.

Lockwood summed up the season saying, "The sophomores contributed , lot and we peaked at the right time during State."

Talent possessed by Kilthy Harkert, sopho-

more, was outstanding. W1th her golfing ability she was able to compete in both the Metro play-offs, and the State meet.

Participating on the team for all three years, Joann Mierendorf, senior, contributed a great deal. She had one of the highest averages on the team.

Breaking a record was only one good aspect Sara Lockwood performed. Lockwood had the highest average on the team, she was a leader, and she took the extra time to perfect her shot.

At State, the competition was a little tougher than anticipated, but the team finished with a "satisfying" third place.

The team finished their season with a dual record of 8-0, rating the title of American Division Champs.

everything well and showed maturity in what they did."

Coach Roger Hoffman has been the boys' golf coach for the last 13 years. He now holds a career dual record of 95-4. He became coach not knowing exactly what he was getting himself into. Hoffman explained, "Dr. James Tangdall gave me the opportunity to coach and I accepted it. I love the game of golf and liked the idea of working with young athletes."

In a golf tournament no referee or coach is allowed on the course.

Each boy must learn to be responsible for honest scoring, correct rulings, acceptable conduct, self discipline in terms of never giving up,

and compatibility with opponents as well as with teammates.

Sophomore Jeff Epstein possessed " outstanding talent" throughout the season. He held the honors of being number one golfer for the team , explained Hoffman .

Mike Zoob, also a sophomore, exhibited "exceptional talent" throughout the season , Hoffman said.

Coach Hoffman concluded , " Successful golf absolutely requires that immature young boys become more mature young men. Being involved in this process is the most exciting and satisfying aspect of coaching for me."

Please coach, just once? Jeff Epstein and Jim Glazer try to persuade Coach Hoffman to ride the carts. Epstein placed third in Metro as a sophomore.

Hagan practices about 12 hours a week during the winter and more than that during the spring and summer.

Looking back on the season , Nyholm said that he had expected the team " to have done a little better

at Metro and State." He felt the team had "quite a bit of depth" and " good balance."

Their weakness was basically that despite Nyholm's efforts to arrange meets with some of the better teams who Westside didn't meet during the season , he couldn 't get them.

According to Hagan , " if we would have played them then we would have had more confidence."

For

the athletically inclined

Athletically inclined? Well, we had a lot to offer for both guys and girls.

Numerous teams accommodated the many interested students and divided their talents into several sectors.

The girls' choices included two volleyball and basketball teams, besides swimming, tennis, gymnastics and golf. The need for two teams was necessary for large team sports, while the others depended on individual competition .

For the many different abilities among the guys, a multitude of ath-

letics were available. Basketball and football teams on all three levels attracted many, and interest was also seen on the other sports.

Among these were tennis, swimming, wrestling, golf, gymnastics, baseball and track.

The boys' and girls' track program included many special interests in specified areas. The cross country team was for long distance runners, while the sprinters preferred short races.

If those mentioned so far weren't a favorite of someones, there was

boys' and girls' soccer, and hocky for the boys ..For those lacking the time for organized sports, intramural basketball and floor hockey was offered .

Even in addition to all those, regular physical education class satisfied the interests of a few" And for those looking for just a little more, mini courses ranged from golf to ping-pong- all which added fun to a school day.

What We Had to Offer- 121

Time and patience pay off Potential had always been strong on the gymnastics team .

This year the potential finally showed results. For the first t!me since 1975, the team qualified for the state meet by being runner-up in District AI. Hard work was an important element of the season. Sometimes gymnasts would be at ~hool12 ~ours a week practicIng. Spendmg so much time together created the closeness which made this team so effective.

Throughout the season coaching help and support were given by coaches Tim Willits and Jessie Winfrey. "Jessie

was a good addition to our coaching staff. Her support really helped, " Tami Pfeffer explained. Outside help was appreciated when Carl Macheitto, a former Westside graduate, came to help the team.

Willits as head coach felt that this team had many unusual qualities. " I thoroughly enjoyed working with the team, because of the differing attitudes and abilities. There was never a dull moment.'' He went on to explain how they cheer each other on . "If anybody would ever look in on a practice they have wondered how this team

could be any good with all the craziness that goes on . I'm sure there was a serious side to this team," he added thoughtfully, "but I haven't found it yet."

The girls' gymnastics team practiced vault, floor exercise, uneven bars, and the balance beam.

Shelly Swift competed as the best all around, which meant that she competed in all four events. Other girls had to switch from event to event and also change their events. Lauri Witherbee, senior, said , "This was the first time in years that I had vaulted , and I really loved it.''

Strength and balance are major factors in performing on the rings, as seen by Scott Ferrell. Ferrell, junior, led the team as its only allaround gymnast. He had an impressive season as he took on five new events.

Weakness in foundation Inexperience was the key weakness of the boys' gymnastics team . Coach Tim Willits said, "The team was young, but they were hard workers . . . they never gave up."

The team consisted of eight gymnasts, half of which were sophomores.

The sophomores were a great asset as "they are the team in the future," according to Willits.

Two seniors on the team were Lee Simmons and Marc Viola. Simmons led the team on the rings. Although Viola's strength was on they vault, he went to State on the parallel bars, receiving a score of 4.85.

Scott Ferrell, junior, led the team as its only all around gymnast. Ferrell's season was impress1ve as he took on five new events. Willits attributes his success to " hard work. " John Dougherty, sophomore, "has the potential to become an all-around gymnast, " according to Willits.

Although the division record of 2-7 does not reflect a successful season .

Willits commented, " I thought that this year would be simply a building year, but these guys surpassed that ... over all, we had a very successful season."

The team scores during the beginning of the season averaqed in the upper

80's, but by the end of the season , the high score had reached 1 06 points. Ferrell summarized, " we improved a lot as the season progressed ."

Concentrating on his mount, Mike Stohl begins his pommel horse routine. Stohl participated in this event, the floor exercise, and the high bar. He was a returning letterman.

Spikers miss state chance A tough district meant that the girls' volleyball team was not able to compete in State competition . The team ended their season with an 11-5 record . Coach Ms. Lesl ie Ann Royle commented , " We had a lot of good players who possessed a high skill level. With their talent, we should have gone to State."

Joan Learch, senior, and Sue Sharpe, junior, made the OIY.mpic development team . That means, 1f they pass all of their " screenings" they may wind up on the Olympic volleyball team in 1984. Learch said, " It will take a lot of hard work and determination to get past all of the Individual skill ability proved to be a main factor for the success of the JV team. Sue Meister demonstrates one of many skills. This one is called the " bump."

screenings, but it can be done. It would really be neat if we made it, and got on the Olympic team ."

Mary Jo Palmesano, senior, was a valuable asset to the team . Without her consistency of setting the ball to the spikers, Learch would not have been able to " kill" 90 spikes. Palmesano stated, " I can 't take all the credit for the sets, our servers, receivers and defense made it easy for me to get.the sets to the spikers. It's a team effort that makes you win the game."

The JV team, coached by Ms. Jackie Henningsen, finished their season with

an impressive 14-0 record . Hennin~sen commented , " The girls possessed Individual ability that molded into a team effort."

During the second semester, Sharpe moved to Tennessee. Royle concluded , " We will not be tall next year, but the enthusiasm of the sophomores will make up height and the loss of Sue." Congratulating her teammates' achievement, Beth Vivian, sophomore, found that support and team work was the only way to win a game. Vivian is a starter on the JV team.

Keeping statistics was something new this year. When the opposite team was playing , the girls on the bench kept track of what they did . Every time an individual hit the ball , it went down on their record .

Blocking the ball is just one talent that Shannon McGuire, junior, exhibited throughout the season . At the end of the season, McGuire has aced 38 of her serves.

An outstanding setter on the team was Mary Jo Palmesano. Palmesano was placed on the Second All-Metro team . She also merited an honorable mention on the All-State Team.

Exceptional talent was brought forth by Sue Sharpe, junior. Her desire and ability enabled her to make the second team All-Metro.

Valuable asset to the team . Joan Learch was recognized on the All-Metro Team.

The Ram Relays could have been considered a disaster to some people, because Westside came in third in the relays, due to seven illnesses, Coach DiBiase felt that illnesses were the only problems with the team this year.

Another low point was when Prep won the Metro Championships by 11 points, because the Warriors were disqualied .

Prep was also the closest competition at the state meet.

Just before the state meet, shaved heads were a common sight; and afterwards, so were bandanas and cowboy hats. "The swim team felt shaving their heads gave them a psychological edge and also represented team spirit," stated DiBiase. " These guys wanted to win state more this year than any year since I've been in contact with the

team."

Team spirit and possibly the psychological edge paied off in the end . A letter from Dr. H. Vaughn Phelps, superintendent, was proudly posted at the pool and read , " .. . The tradition is still in the Westside Swim Club in winning and doing so in an honorable manner."

Coach DiBiase entered the season as a replacement for former coach, Mr. Cal Bentz. DiBiase didn't feel that the administrators or other staff members put any pressure upon him. DiBiase commented, "The only pressure

brought upon me was internal pressure brought upon by myself."

Over-time distinguishes season "This is a rugged league," stated Mr. Tom Hall, head coach. This seemed apparent all season, as nine of the first 18 games were losses.

Thirty-five players tried out for the varsity team this year, but only 13 made it. Ten of those members were seniors. Coach Hall said, "We usually try to even the team out between juniors and seniors, but the few juniors who did make the team are played often.''

This factor seemed to have an effect on the team during their first game. The team met Northwest on their own terms. "The game was an eight point loss for us," stated Coach Hall, "I attribute this to the fact that four of Northwest's starters

132- Varsity Basketball

were returning, while we only had one player return." He also feels Northwest's being on their own territory and the fact that we'd beaten them two years previously, gave Northwest their incentive.

The next game was Tech vs.

Westside and was lost in overtime.

Again . This time the odds got closer; however, with the score ending 68-

64.

Dean Thompson, junior, remained the leading scorer throughout the season with an average of 18.5 points per game. Bruce Muenster, senior, followed close behind him.

Thompson gave an edge throughout the Holiday Tournament, remaining the leading sc<i>rer. Our

close game streaks seemed to stay in play, as the team defeated Millard by one point, and then, Prep by one point. This was a tense moment since the team's chances for getting in the finals hung on that game.

By beating Prep the varsity team met Tech in the finals of the Holiday Tournament. We were defeated, again, in an overtime.

So far the seaon was marked by close games, but Hall was undaunted, and the varsity team was ranked number two in the state.

Action packed is the only way this team can be described, since many teams provided close competition and good records for them to beat.

Holiday basketball. During the Holiday Tournament, the team really puts it all together in order to get into the final round .

t seemed as if one week they were in nd the next they weren 't - the ''it' ' s the Top Ten basketball poll. )espite an 11 -10 season , the Warriors re considered by many to be one of ! top teams in the area- on any 路en night. The problem was that those iven nights" were few and far tween . :;oach Tom Hall was impressed with l senior leadership on the team . It was 1t sen ior leadership that led the team a second place finish in the Metro ,liday Tournament. Hall specifically

on any given night mentioned the leadership of Dean Thompson , junior, the team 's leading scorer, and Bruce Muenster, senior the leading rebounder. ' The second half of the season was long for both the team and its fans as the record vacillated aroung the .500 mark.

Team support also vacillated . It seemed as if the opponent was not a Burke or a Prep, student interest was dismal.

Coach Hall said " Kids just seemed too busy to come out this year. At a lot of the games there were fewer than 20 students."

The Burke contest, which ended up as a victory on the floor for Burke may have been a draw in the parking lots for both sides. Hall indicated a concern about the rivalry and felt it unfortunate. There was no animosity among the players on the court, according to Hall , who felt there was only mutual respect.

District play was capped when the Benson Bunnies closed out the season for the Warriors defeating them 63-58 in overtime, capping a successful year for the Warriors- successful at least on any given night.

The Reserve basketball team compiled some pretty impressive statistics too, with a 12-0 record .

Coach Larry Morrisey felt that the defense did a super job this year. He attributed this largely to the summer

basketball clinics .

The third game of the season, against Papillion and the Tech game, ranked as the most exciting games to Coach Morrisey.

It was termed a " phenomenal " season by coach Rick Collura. The team held their opponents to an average of 40.5 points per game. "We knew if we held our opponents anywhere from 40 to 45 points per game we could go undefeated ,'' added Morrisey. " This is the most talented bunch of kids I've had at Westside ," he said , " They're intelligent young men." Not only the best, but the smartest, too.

Shoot for two. The Reserve basketball team was able to accumulate ten more points than TJ for a final score of 45 to 35.

Going both ways. Kurt Huston tries to get two points from a free throw. Huston played on both the JV and Reserve Basketball teams.

Anticipation. The reserve basketball players wait to see if there is going to be a chance for them to get the rebound and try for two points.

High scorer for the Warriors was Jean Pistillo, senior. Pistillo completed her senior year with a 10.4 shooting average. Pistillo has been a member of the varsity squad for three years. 路

Winning was seen the majority of the time by the JV team. The team , coached by Ms. Lois Jensen, wa!tdefeated only three times. JV starter, Sue Meister, was the second leading scorer for the team.

Underclassmen always valuable For the first time in the history of girls' basketball, the Warriors were able to participate in the District final. Coach Lee Nordine commented, "I've been coach for four years, and we've never been able to make it to the District tournament.

We lost, but just being able to play in the tournament is a beginning."

Talent possesed by the underclassmen was outstanding . Two sophomores were on the team and both were able to start in every game. Beth Vivian, one of the sophomores, was voted most valuable player (MVP) by her teammates.

This was the first time that a sophomore had been voted MVP. Vivian was a valuable asset to the team for she contributed a lot in her

rebound ability, by playing a tough defense, her scoring percentage, team assists, and the most important, teamwork. Vivian commented, "I have always thought of playing as a time to have fun, yet still compete." The other sophomore on the team was Deena Murphy. Murphy began playing in an organized basketball league when she was in fifth grade.

The team nominated Fran Halsted and Connie Murphy as the most improved players. Jean Pistillo, senior, was the leading team scorer with an average of 10.4 points per game.

Team depth played an important factor for the Warriors. Even though the season came to an end with a 10-10 record, it was a valuable expe-

rience for the underclassmen. Nordine explained , "The team was a lot better than what our record indicated . The team was able to obtain the experience and knowledge which is the main objective of the season."

The JV completed their season with an outstanding record of 11-3.

Kathy Harkert, sophomore, was the leading scorer with a total of 142 points. Coach Lois Jensen summed up, "The girls were very dedicated and the best team I've coached thus far." Jensen has accumulated an individual coaching record of 31-11.

Talent brought forth by Beth Vivian, sophomore, was more than exceptional. Vivian has been playing basketball since she was in the sixth grade. She was voted most valuable player by her teammates.

In his weight division. John Dougherty possessed outstanding talent. Dougherty wrestled at 98 pounds and was a valuable wrestler for the Warriors in the lower weights.

A look of concern. Coach Lou Miloni has been with the Warriors for 15 years. He has a coaching record of 127-33-4. The interest he takes in the team is important to its success.

Competition at State was extremely tough.

The Warriors were ranked to finish within the top five , but failed to achieve that high of a position . Keith Sortino, senior, qualified for State at 112 P<?unds.

Comparing notes. Phil Betzes and Matt Prucka talk over their strategies, past successes and victories. Being able to communicate is an important part for the success of a team.

Beginning the best way

The winning streak for the wresing team lasted for seven straight ual matches. It finally came to an nd when Bryan upset the Warriors 0-23. After the match with Bryan , 1e Warriors sought action with BellVue West and accumulated their econd loss which gave the team a ual record of 7-2. Coach Lou Miloni ommented, "The first loss was disppointing for the boys, but they ame back strong for the match

against Bellevue West and were beaten by only one point. Bellevue West has always been our toughest competition ."

In short, the wrestling team started off strong, especially after achieving the first place finish in the North Invitational, but was unable to capitalize on their success in the latter part of the season.

The Wrestling division has a rule which states that no wrestler can compete in more than 26 matches before District competition. "That really hurt us, because I had to hold out five of our regular starters in our

last two duals," state Miloni. Out of the nine dual matches, there were 29 wrestlers able to obtain varsity experience, which is so demanding in future competition .

The outcome at State was not as high as expected, but as Miloni put it, "It was a good learning experience for all of us. We were able to point out our weaknesses. We have many lettermen returning and they are already talking about the changes for next season." The Warriors were ranked to finish with the top five teams, but succeeded in finishing 15th of 32 teams.

)St, but not quite. Mark McClellen, senior heavyweight, had an individual record of Due to his inability to place higher than :h at District, he was not able to compete ate competition.

Practical problems at State "There were some instances that took place at State which may have had a little bearing as far as the team's performance was concerned," commented Coach Lou Miloni.

Before the journey to the first night of competition, the Warrior van broke down, so the team had to split up and ride with other teams to the match. This was the second year in a row for the van to break down.

Another incident, which took place at their motel room, were the water pipes broke and two of the rooms were flooded. Miloni stressed, "These are only incidents that took place, they are not excuses. This just wasn't our tournament."

Performance at the District tournament left two Warrior starters unable to compete at State. Mark McClellen, heavyweight, and Matt

142- Varsity Wrestling

Prucka, 155 pounds, were unable to place within the top four at District, so neither qualified for State. Both wrestlers were ranked within the top three of the nation. Prior to District, McClellen and Prucka had always placed either first or second in competition . McClellen had an individual season record of 22-5. Prucka completed his season with a respectable 19-5 record.

The team captains for the season were McClellen, Steve White, Keith Sortino, and Sam Geddie. Sortino possessed outstanding talent throughout the season, but was unable to compete in four dual matches due to a shoulder injury.

Geddie would have been a valuable wrestler for the team, but he moved last summer. His talent was missed tremendously in his weight division.

Miloni completed his 15th year of

coaching the Warrior team . He has accumulated an impressive 127-3~ 4 record . It includes four first place finishes at Metro in succession , an also two State Championships in succession .

The Warrior team was able to seek assistance from assistant coach Marty Kauffman who was a valuable asset to the team. Miloni concluded, "Marty had the dedica路 tion and the coaching ability to encourage and help the wrestlers.

With his dedication and the enthus asm of the young team, it made the season rewarding.

Sweating it out. Varsity lightweight John Dougherty works hard at practice as well al at me~ts . Dougherty, sophomore, is an out路 stand1ng wrestler in his weight division.

Spirit was again established by the Wrestling Auxiliary. The auxiliary is made up of girls who are interested in wrestling, who like to cheer, and who like to participate in special wrestling activities.

Dedication by coaches, as well as by teammates, is important. Coach Lou Miloni and J' coach Marty Kauffman converse on strategiâ&#x20AC;˘ moves to help the Warriors win.

Upper weights prove effective Depth in the upper and middle weights proved to be a main factor in the success of the JV wrestling team. The Warriors completed their season with a respectable 6-0-1 record .

Coach Don Gilpin stated , " We always had good back-up in our heavier weights. There were times, though , when we had to forfeit our lower weights due to lack of depth."

Many of the JV wrestlers were able to wrestle in varsity matches.

One outstanding sophomore was Brent Passer. Gilpin commented , " Brent filled in very well , for Keith Sortino at the varsity level. He participated in four varsity matches and been with the Warriors, this was the

144- JV Wrestling

first time that the JV team has competed with really tough kids.''

Sophomore talent was also a valuable factor in the success of the season . Matt McClellan at 167 pounds, lost only one match throughout the season. He was the South-Bryan Champion and also the Warrior's Sophomore tournament champion . His only loss was with a varsity wrestler in the match with North. Dave Deery, Doug Harris, and Mark Keffeler were all strong competitors. " They are all valuable prospects for next year's varsity team ," stated Gilpin.

In the three years that Gilpin has beaten Bellevue West. Something

not unusual , but unique is that the Warriors have placed first in the sophomore tournament for the last three years.

Since wrestling has become a demanding sport, it requires time and dedication. Gilpin concluded , " Dedication was extremely important. It really paid off, because many of the wrestlers (JV) were able to obtain varsity experience. " The sweet smell of success was popular for Woody Armentrout, JV wrestler. He admits that a victory comes after a lot of hard work, time, and dedication .

SeHer luck next time. Senior Steve White hangs in there after contemplating a tough match and a very tough opponent.

White was one of the team captains for the team .

Informal Competition without practice Organized sports. They were good for some, but what about those people who didn't have the time or the ability? Intramural sports provide an opportunity to play sports in an informal atmosphere, with enough competition to keep things interesting.

Budgeting spare time Keepin9. busy was the word for most- e1ther in school or on days off. Even though homework was that object of interference, it had to be done and it had its place. The times preferred by most, incidentally, were the hours out of school.

Spending the afternoon in the sun in a tennis court was a great way to occupy the hours during the early fall and spring days off school. For many, it was just a way of having a

good time, but for some used the time as a practice session to work on their tricky moves that they would later use to outsmart an opponent.

A day inside was just as fulfilling for a number of others. Racquetball became increasingly popular and enthusiasts made an effort to reserve the court and have a good workout often . Most courts were located in the Omaha area health clubs which also house other facili-

O~e of.the major fads of the year was Joggrng. People of all ages decided to take up the sport for their health, to lose weight, or because once they got started , they could not stop. For some, jogging became quite costly as purchasing jogging suits, tennis shoes, and going to the doctor, all added up very quickly.

Jodi Feldman , senior, said, "I jognAn AVerv because I thouoht

Other types of weekend activities were popular to those that were not athletically inclined. Many students spent weekend afternoons fixing or washing their cars, goofing around in the yard or sledding after the first snow.

Training is one of the extra activities that Mark Anderson, junior, does. When Anderson isn't taping, he is a student manager for boys' football and basketball

Trainers take to the w¡r ap "Seeing an athlete perform sooner than expected, is one reward a trainer receives," stated head trainer Mr. Tony Martinez.

Everyone knows that a doctor cures a patient, but not many know the purpose of a trainer. A trainer cures an injured athlete. Without them, athletes would have been out of competition longer than necessary.

If an athlete is cut from a team, a good way to stay involved in athletics is to become a student trainer.

Martinez commented, "In order for a student to become a trainer, all he or she has to do is possess an interest. We give everyone a fair shot."

Every year at least one trainer is offered some kind of a scholarship.

That's pretty good considering there is an average of only four trainers a year. To become a certified trainer, like Martinez, one must have put in at least 1800 hours of on-the-job trainin~ as a student trainer.

A training facility for girls was added in the new section of the school. It has all the necessary equipment required in a training room. Chrisa Karnes, student trainer for girls' athletics, commented, "The training room is a great achievement for girls' athletics."

The injury that occurred most

often during the year was spraine~ ankles. Sore muscles ran a close second. The method in curing a sprained ankle was a secure tape job. The athlete was also taped every day until he/she could support the ankle without the tape.

A file is kept on every athlete wt has been injured. An athlete's record is kept up to date, and tells how and when the injury occurrec Being a certified or a student trainer takes a lot of time. But if a person is really interested and ha~ the determination to continue in U field, the time spent learning the d ferent wraps, is time well spent.

Anxiously glancing back towards the crowd, Kerry Smith, junior, checks to see if anybody else is helping to cheer the team on to a win over Tech.

Spirit promotion times two

New faces in new uniforms, bserved at the girls' athletic _ents, were a new squad of cheerladers. The change came last oring after a spirit committee, eaded by athletic director Mr. Ron ston, decided to try two groups, ne for boys' athletics and the other )r girls. In recent years, there were roblems "getting the cheerleaders . attend all of the sports," accordlg to Ms. Peg Johnson, sponsor of ie cheerleaders.

Since Title XI, the interest in girls' thletics has increased, thus the eed for special cheerleaders

became obvious. "They provide the spirit to the school that has been lacking in girls' sports for years," commented Laila Vilums, crosscountry runner.

Rumors of conflict between the two groups of cheerleaders circulated through the school, but both Huston and Johnson agree that there's a "good feeling" between the two groups. Shelly Swift, a cheerleader for boys' athletics, commented, "I think people expected there to be some conflict, but there isn't."

The two squads have different

uniforms, according to Johnson, "We wanted the girls to have a different look" and it helps to "identify" the new group. Pep rallies were changed to try and get more student participation and put on less of a "floor show." This was done by eliminating skits and doing more cheers. But one student commented that the new type of pep rally was rather "boring."

According to a cheerleader for girls' athletics Karen Kennedy, "There have been some hassles getting started, but it's been worth it."

Mug shots,

etcetera People, so many people. Have you ever noticed how un1que each person is around you? It's a challenge to really know people.

It's a big task, just think about it.

Yes, there's so many people to meet and so much to do, yet time always seems to be running short. Especially when you're havmg fun. It doe n't seem possible, where did those years of high school go?

For seniors. walking unfamiliar halls, looking for the right classroom, and seeing "thousands" of new faces as a sophomore seems Hke just yesterday. Now a new life is just around the corner Another new start into the next phase of life, most likely to move as quickly as those in t'1e past.

Content and familiar with routines, the JUnIOrs anticipate the "cenior" image. Thinking of the freedom- it looks like so much fun. It is. And of course, the classes are a little tougher too.

Finally accustomed to procedures, the sophomores are the newest addition to a perpetual image. Their new ideas and enthusiasm keep the school's spirit on top This involvement will keep the school active for years to come.

But this also creates problems for those of us still looking for a theme.

She added, "Sailing II a aport that Involves a lot of concentration and hard work, especially If you are going to try to do It In competition."

Landen owns her own boat, an M16 racing boat. The boat Ia 15-feet long and usually holds a load of three people. The load conllsta of a skipper and a crew of two people. ''Usually,'' says Landen, ''there are three people on the boat, but when there are heavy winds, we have an extra crew member."

But she added, "IItke aalltng, because of the challenge and .the competition." Aa far as the future goes, Landen a good outlook.

Music in the air? It's probably Matt Wallace playing one of his six instruments.

Wallace, junior, has a unique talent in playing the saxophone.

He plays all four of the saxes which 1ncludes the baritone, alto, tenor and soprano, and also plays the fife and the flute.

This past summer, Wallace , played at the Club 89 for a one :week engagement with "The Res: urrected SwinH,Orchestra." We drew some oft e biggest crowds that they've had," said Wallace, "I think it's because all a~e 9roups could get into our mus c.' , Eighteen people performed in 1 the orchestra, mQSt of which were college students. However, four . of the performers were Westside 1 students. They included Wallace, Mike Midas, Kurt Halvorson and Bob Krueger. Wallace also performed as a sit-in for Roland Le Desmond and Family at such . places as Big Daddy's and Tail-n路 Ale. When -it comes to practicing, Wallace does most of it on his 路 extra time. "Sports take out a lot of time during the week, so I practice mostly during school and on the weekends," explained Wallace. He feels he owes a lot of gratitude to Marty Marquez, his private instructor. "He's been a phenomenal instructor to me," said Wallace.

As far as the future goes, Wallace feels he can't say for sure if music will be his colles,e major.

As far as he sees into t e future is the possibility of a college band.

Norman playa several band Instruments. "I goofed around on the plano as a kid," he said, "but I didn't really start taking serious lessons until I was in fifth grade."

Norman took piano for aeveral years, but he quit for a time in Junior high to take up the clarinet, flufe, oboe, and the bassoon. He also managed to find the time to teach himself to Dtay the guitar.

Rare individual for professional sports Few individuals possess the talent and determination needed to become successful in professional sports. Sophomore Michael Zoob is one of the rare individuals who possesses both of these traits.

Standing in Zoob's room, one can view a multitude of awards, trophies, and medals, all of which have been earned in recognition of his athletic progress.

Outward appearances would suggest that Zoob is not the athletic type. His average size and build do not seem representative of a competitive sportsman.

Clear impressions are not always given by outward appearances; however, for athletics have always been the most important part of Zoob s life, and have served as his most pleasurable pastimes.

Golf is the sport in which Zoob excels most, and that he loves best. From age six, Zoob has diligently stroked the little white ball in hopes of someday becoming another Jack Nicklaus or Tom Watson .

Zoob's ambition to become a professional golfer, but ability is also a necessity. Zoob has won local golf tournaments since the age of 12, and has participated in national events as well. As a sophomore, he played well on the school ~olf team, winning medals frequently m tournament play.

Why does Zoob want to play golf seriously and professionally? "Because it's a challenge,' ' he said ''to meet the challenge of beating whatever course I play, under any circumstances."

There is something that scares Zoob.

"The thought that because of one injury I could lose my golfing ability for life.'' If he were unable to play golf professionally, Zoob would like to become a lawyer or psychiatrist. According to Zoob, " It would make me proud to know people were depending on me for a service."

Out to practice. Mike Zoob, sophomore, pauses for a moment before leaving school on his way for an afternoon of practice at Cedar Hills Golf Course.

New freedom On weekends, sophomores have always been faced with the problem of driving. Finding rides can be embarrassing and at times practically impossible.

A common feeling among sophomores is their embarrassment over having their parents drive. Tenley Carp explains, " I can 't wait to get my license, then my parents won 't have to cart me around ." Beth Seldin agrees, " It'll be a lot easier for my mom.' ' People with late birthdays often feel left out. Sue Kenedy can sympathize.

Her birthday is in September. " I was just glad to get my license finally. I like the feeling of just being able to go somewhere without asking my mom or someone for rides," she said.

Another advantage of driving was expressed by Steve Brewster. He stated, " I can't wait to be able to take girls out. "

Make it or break it. Taking your driver's test is always a bother as Mindy Massey, sophomore, will soon find out for the first time .

Beauty in Syrian heritage

206- Sophomores

Being very proud of her Syrian heritage, Kelly Michael, sophomore, is very into one of the Syrian art forms and has been since she was five. The art is belly dancing, it is very popular in Syria.

Michael came to America at the age of five and has been belly dancing since.

She says it is not only an art form for her, but also fun . It is compared in Syria to disco here in America. Michael's only regrets about belly dancing here in America are that it tends to be thought of by some people as " dirty," and there are too many people being taught unprofessional imitations of the art.

Michael is self-taught. She learned from watching her older sister, who also dances, and by seeing other Syrian 's perform . " I just caught on, " she said .

When Michael dances she dresses the part. A seven or eight veiled skirt is worn , with a coined and sequined belt. A bikini top decorated in the same fashion is worn . Contrary to incorrect beliefs, Michael says, " All the clothe,s stay on ."

Michael likes to do all kinds of dance

and taught disco dance to women ages 26 through 65 for a while . She's being asked to teach belly dance, but says shE wouldn 't do it for money, or professionally. Michael dances as a part of her Syr ian Orthodox Church路services, and at parties, weddings, family conventions and at the Ethnic Festival at the Civic Aud itorium in June every year.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about in her performing art, Michael says. But she added , " It's too bad it's got a bad image, there's nothing wrong with it."

Elementary pose. Demonstrating one of the basic movements in the art of belly dancing, Kelly Michael, sophomore, practices for an upcoming performance.

Cutting ice While most are comfortably tucked away in bed at 4:30 in the morning, this young lady is up and moving. Kathy Marvin has been with the Blade and Edge Figure Skating Club for about three years.

"Usually three tim~ a week I'll get up and skate an hour of fi9ures before school," Marvin said, ' and the other two days I'll skate about two and one-half hours. Weekends, I sleep."

One of the many things this slim, blonde sophomore feels she has learned in her five years on the ice is discipline. "We have eight USFSA (United States Figure Skating Association) tests.

They are very difficult to pass. I've been through three of them," she explains, "We do a number of different figures and they have to be perfect. The three judges even go out and look at how your blades cut the ice. It teaches you to do it right."

Marvin did not start at an early age.

"One day when I was ten my mom decided to rent some skates. I enjoyed it so much that she went out and signed me up for lessons. Now my teacher is Juli McKinstry. She was second to Doro-

with blades thy Hamill in the 1973 World Championships."

Another thing Marvin has gotten out of skating is the opportunity to travel. She has been as far from home as New Mexico. One look at her coat, which holds over fifty patches from contests and examinaons, will tell you that she hasn't been stuck at home. " I guess my favorite place is The Broad moor in Colorado Springs, because it is so beautiful up on the mountains," she said.

One of the few drawbacks of skating is the cost. " The rink fee is $1 , an hour and that really adds up. Then there are the club dues and the skates cost $250 a piece. Yes, it's a big investment, but it's worth it," Marvin said.

Early workout. Lacing up, Kathy Marvin , sophomore, prepares herself for an early morning practice on her tracings.

Picture perfect In the blackened atmosphere of the darkroom, a shadow-like figure worked to create images from a mere flash of light. This eager young photographer is Janet Lynch , sophomore, making photography a favorite hobby and potential career. " Photography is one of the best ways in which I can express myself," said Lynch . She said it would be very interesting to be a professional photographer, providing she was not doing portraits. " I'd really like to freelance for magazines," she said .

Currently, she works out of a darkroom in the basement of her home.

Lynch hopes she will have the money to pursue this hobby in the future, and that she 'll be successful.

Having an interest in horses gives Lynch a handy subject for her photography. Horses are her favorite subject, though she also enjoys pictures of small objects.

Lynch 's post high school plans are nothing definite, except for the fact that she wants to go to college, preferably in the East.

Stating that she enjoys her lifestyle very much , Lynch said , " I really like the things I do to spend my time.

I'm glad I am fortunate enough to find something I like to do, and can do fairly well. " Darkroom pose. Janet Lynch , sophomore, studies some negatives that she has shot with a ready smile and careful fingers.

Moving board Romantics have about given up on skateboarding. Riding a concrete wave on a street surfboard . . . breaking arms alon~ the way ... doesn't make for a poet1c statement. 路There are some hardened veterans who continue to skateboard, not for its poetic grace, but for the fun and challenge that it can have. Jim Mammel, sophomore, has been skateboarding for two years. He started after seeing many of his friends doing it.

He says that the sport was great in populanty a few years ago, but has been declining lately, because "too many people have been attempting to skateboard without first learning about the dangers and problems you can encounter. Many people have even been killed because of carelessness."

Mammel doesn't recommend skateboarding for the faint-hearted or for anyone who is afraid of falling . "Its like anything else," he said, "in the beginning, there are hard knocks, but when you get the hang of it, you can have a lot of fun with it."

Heads up. Jimmy Mammal, sophomore, must pay close attention to pick a clear path for his skateboarding stunts.

Full future Making an impressive first appearance, Tammy Hopkins, sophomore, was the first runner-up in the 1978 Nebraska United Teenager pageant.

Having the experience of this type of competition was beneficial, and according to Hopkins, "The preparation took at least a million hours."

Selling ads, finding a sponsor, and having photographs taken were just a few prerequisites for the pageant. The actual competition consisted of interviews, written essays, small group singing, and modeling appearances.

Another, probably the most important requirement. was having a "8 or above" grade average. Hopkins achieves mostly "1's and 2's" and plans to study medicine, with her highest aspiration of going into cardiology. "Modeling isn't much of a lifetime career, it doesn't last that long," said Hopkins.

Hopkins plans to participate in a couple of additional pageants in the future . Her summer schedule reserves some time for modeling which Hopkins feels will "improve" herself, and form a more complete image.

High hopes Getting a head start can be very beneficial , especially when it comes to an education. Sophomore Bob Maki realized the possible advantages when he decided to work hard and get into advanced math and science programs.

Maki started high school classes in his freshman year, by taking Advanced Algebra at Westside, and his other classes at his junior high.

This year he took classes with juniors and seniors as he enrolled in Honors Pre-Calculus and Physics.

His parents helped to provide him with interest and motivation, and he credits much of his success to them .

Maki 's father is an engineer, and Maki expresses a desire to follow in his footsteps.

Music, along with math and science, is included in Maki's interests and talents. He currently plays the keyboards and the french horn in the band at Westside .

Maki is concerned about the heavy plans and decisions that students must make so early in their life. "I think that education (primary and secondary) is becoming too specialized. Everyone is pushing us (students) to plan our futures and our careers too early in our lives. We still have many years of living to do, and should be able to wait awhile."

Working ahead. Bob Maki , sophomore, has

some prestigious plans for his future , and takes a combination of regular and advanced classes to help him achieve his goal.

New cheering Eliminating the problems arising from the disagreements concerning which cheerleaders would cheer at boys' events, and which would cheer at the girls' games was solved this year by the addition of a new cheerleading squad specifically formed for girls' sports.

Just as the cheerleaders and other spirit groups traditionally decorate for the boys' sports events, the girls' cheerleaders decorate lockers, make signs, and cheer for all the girls' games.

The idea of having cheerleaders for girls' sports was well accepted and has proven to be very beneficial. "The only minor problems we've had were connected with the initial organization of the squad," said Elizabeth Sundermeier. The

consequences were worked out and only good experiences have occurred .

The squad consisted mainly of sophomores, but in coming years, hopefully it will consist of representatives from all three classes. With overall involvement from each class, the new spirit will develop completely and support the girls' sports program even more.

The crowds improved this year, with a larger gathering and a better atmosphere to encourage the girls' teams. With the increasing popularity in girls' sports, the need for a spirit group was obvious, and this year's new squad has certainly done an adequate job.

Back to home

away from home

Having accomplished a full and satisfying teaching career; spanning 16 years, Ms. Iris Clark, department head of home economics, will retire from the familiar atmosphere which has been like a home away from home.

Clark has found that the most gratifying aspect of her job is, " The fact that I was given the responsibility of being department head and also, a full~time teacher, with the assurance that the administration felt I was capable of assuming this leadership without questioning and direction."

She has also appreciated the fact that she and others in her department have been allowed to experiment with the classes and new teaching techniques. She has also been glad to know that the administration has given her the opportunity to try what she felt would have been best.

Plans after retirement? "To do all the things that I have left undone over the years."

Legal tea~her If you talk to Ms. Hazel Patz about your legal rights as a student, you might get yourself into trouble. Patz practiced law with her husband for eight years before coming to Westside. Patz currently teaches World Literature and Literary Insights to sophomore English students.

After ten years of marriage, she stopped practicing law to have two children . When her husband died, she had been out of the law practice for 12 years. She didn 't feel that she should go back to law alone after all that time.

Having a teaching degree, she decided to make use of it. " I came to Westside and was hired primarily to be a d~bate coach," Patz explains.

This was mostly due to her experience as a lawyer. She worked with the debate team for three years.

Then she was released to take care of her teenage children. A man was hired to take her place for six years, before she resumed the position for two more years.

Teaching has been a fulfilling experience for Patz. " I feel that in most cases, the teacher learns as much as the student. Every year and every class is different," she states.

She has no regrets about leaving the law practice and feels that if she had been out of teaching for 12 years it would be hard to return also.

English teacher holds Metro office Ms. Susan Thein is an experienced English teacher, she has taught for seven years. Not only teaching here, but, she also helps run the Metro Omaha English Association (MOEA). Her position is vice president-elect.

The MOEA is an affiliate of the National English Teachers Association .

This group hlds conventions twice yearly and speakers are present to discuss various aspects of the field . Ideas on presenting material are shown and new developments in the field are examined.

In the local region , the MOEA plans workshops for the improvement of teaching methods. A great deal of idea exchange is done for the benefit of the teacher and his/ her students.

The advantages that the association have to offer are probably the reasons why Thein is so involved with the group.

This, combined with her interest in learning and sharing has helped her reach her current position as vice president. Thein's pride in the organization is evident when she describes its activities, and calls it a " professional association ," not a unionized association . Thein said , " Hopefully the association has supplemented my teaching by giving me new ideas and encouraging me to share mine."

S~curity 路 Mr. Vic Porter Ms. Lynn Price

Supervision is in use here to combat such problems as theft, vandalism, and student loitering throughout the day. It is administered by different teachers from all departments throughout the school.

The teachers who help supervise give up an hour of their free time once a week just walking the halls, IMC's, cafeteria, and other parts of the building to make sure everything is under control.

Ms. lone Perry from the home economics department feels supervision is very necessary. "One time, someone threw instant rice in the hall outside my room . It was so slick you couldn't walk." Through supervision, such problems can hopefully be stopped. "Supervision also helps guard against locker thefts," Perry stated.

Mr. Rob Johns from the social studies department said, "It is part of our job, although it's an extra duty, it has to be done." Ms. Hester Anderson, home economics instructor, also takes part in supervision. In her opinion, "It is needed." She feels that teachers are always supervisors.

With such problems this year as exit signs being torn out, windows broken, and bathrooms demolished , supervision is hopefully a way to fight these problems.

Quality control RIF- Reduction-in-Force, dominated the activities of the Board of Education as new concerns about decreasing enrollment surfaced .

Attempting to decide what elementary school to close first and when , brought concern from district patrons as three elementary schools dropped to under 150 students and the district enrollment indicated an annual loss of 440 students on the average per year.

At the January Board of Education meeting it was announced that 40 teachers district-wide would be dropped with the greatest number of teachers being forced to leave at the secondary level. The Board tel~ that most positions would be accounted for by attrition through retirement and job changes as well as some teachers without tenure being let go.

On a more positive side, the board noted that once again ACT test scores in the district exceeded national norms in every subject area by at least two points and were 4.5 points above the national average in mathematics.

As enrollment declines continued to draw most attention , District 66 continued their concern for quality education for the students who remain .

A little bit of everything. Ms. Allee Gillogy's schedule is always new and different as her services range from arranging class reun ions to finding substitute teachers.

ADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRAT Problem solvers Problems at the high school level were relatively few.

Mr. James Findley stated that he's had " many things to look forward to," but that this year has really gone well academically, compared to others.

Dr. James Tangdall principal , agreed that this year students have demonstrated themselves equal to superior achievements of past years. Tangdall was happy to see the new sections of the building completed, also.

Findley feels that two big issues this year have been the cleanliness problem in the school , and the decreasing enrollment that is being anticipated.

His attitude toward decreasing enrollment is that he's ready to take it as a challenge.

Tangdall thinks that declining enrollment can be looked at negatively by the staff, but it will be nice to have more room .

Ms. Peg Johnson , dean of girls, said a highlight for her this year has been the New Student Program .

Mr. Roger Herring and Johnson both noticed that students seem to be taking more pride in their dress than in previous years. They feel this should lead to more pride in the school 's appearance.

Herring also saw the various awards given this year, for example to the " Lance," as a very positive thing. He thought one thing that tended to shock the students as well as the staff was the deaths of three Westside students. " It's just one of those freak things," he said. None of the three accidental deaths were school related.

Secretaries: Ms. Rose Derr, Ms. Delores Cortese, Ms. Jeanne Gardner, Ms. Debbie Early, Ms. Kay Rozmajzl , Ms. Doris Sladek.

>MINISTRATION ADMINISTRATION Hidden helpers There are a select few on the staff who we really never heard too much about. Among these are the cooks, janitors, para-educators, and supervisors. They all have one thing in common ; however, varied their duties may be, they care about the students.

According to head cook and Business Manager Ms. Marie Zimmerman , her staff consists of 20 members. This includes four part-time workers, two cashiers, two icecream distributors, and 12 full -time cooks. Their schedule are staggered, because of the serving lines; Zimmerman arrives at 6 a.m. each morning and the rest of the staff arrives throughout the morning until

need. Ms. Dottie Zin always have a to sprained an common cold .

..a..i,,..,,..,.,.,.

10:45.

Paraeducators are spread throughout the building in every department. They are here to assist faculty and students alike.

Ms. Mary Primeau is a paraeducator located in the science IMC. She has been here for eight years. Her duties include: Supervision of students, make-up tests, handling all science extra credit assignments, typing and running off papers for different classes. She thinks she has a " wonderful job" and enjoys working with the students.

Ms. Barbara Taxman and Ms. Marlene Schlaht are both paraeducators in the English department. They handle restricted students, answer phones, type for the English and home economics departments, type stencils and dittoes, handle English minimum competencies, and handle attendance cards. They both feel they work with great people and find their jobs quite " rewarding ."

There are two staff members 路 whose sole purpose is to supervise.

These supervisors, Mr. Kim LaPier and Mr. Lou Kresl, are better known to the students as "bouncers."

Their territory is the school grounds, hallways, and the immediate area around school. They try to keep everything under control and stop students from leaving the building when not permitted . LaPier enjoys his job, because, " I like talking to students and this gives me a good chance. " Probably the most overlooked of the staff members are the janitors.

They spend long hours (day or night) taking care of repairs and keeping the building clean and in shape.

Cooks: Ms. Marlene Costanzo; Ms. Janet Manzer; Ms. Elizabeth Manzer; Ms. Jane Edgington; Ms. Marguarite Leapley; Ms. Rachel Humphrey; Ms. Barbra Chase; Ms. Gerri Cunningham ; Ms. Sharon Gohr; Ms. Marie Zimmerman ; Ms. Gertrude Kleffner; Ms. Amy Burk; Ms. Fanny D'Agasta; Ms. Dorothy o ....... .... t.....

Outside school â&#x20AC;˘ env1ronment Never finding an appropriate and totally encompassing theme, we decided to go out and look into the community. Between class coffeebreaks at Winchell 's breaking the monotony of a school day, and Friday nights at Burger King both helped to add to the scene of a constant, but changing excitement.

These close-by happenings were a big part of the social scene, but there was much more. Septemberfest , events of the citywide Winter Festival , and Old Market happenings added outlets tor different entertainment. Then Nebraska made it to the Orange Bowl- Omahan 's were ecstatic, but only a number of fortunate tans journeyed to Florida.

Among the lucky ones were those who went on Hardison's annual Florida trip.

As the school year came close to its end , spring fever hit hard and afternoons in the sun were much more popular than a U.S. History or geometry class. Picnics at Elmwood, a day at the pool , and an evening at the movies or a concert gave us a greater appreciation of the town we lived in. Even though the community enriched our lives, there was so much going on that we just kept looking for a theme.

Septemberfest. After an exhausting day touring and participating in all of the activities at Septemberfest, Caeli Bolamperti , junior, rests before heading for home.

Aerial view. How to get to downtown Omaha can easily be seen with this skyline picture which includes the interstates heading into and out of Omaha.

Mall clock. Westroad's mall clock is a common sight to all in the community. A great deal of the shopping done by most students goes on here.

Exhibitionist. Septemberfest offered many exhibits for people to watch and things for people to do. Dean O'Connor tries to decide where to go next.

Western-most area A good number of students who go to Westside come from the Valley View area in District 66. This area is mainly outlined by the interstate, Papio Creek, Pacific Street, Paddock Road, 120th, and 114th streets. Students attending Valley View Junior High come from the various elementary schools in the area such as Oakdale Elementary, Prairie Lane Elementary, and Rockbrook Elementary.

In the area, the main shopping center available to the public is the Rockbrook Shopping Center and nearby is the Rockbrook swimming pool open in the summer for recreation. Godfather's Pizza is located in the shopping center and is one of

238- Community

the best known hangouts in the Valley View area. Younger children also spend time at Skateland or Big Fred's Pizza Garden and Lounge located at 108th and L. With all of this, there are also other various small shops and restaurants in the area for the people.

For other recreational purposes, Rocket Park provides a place for people to go and watch their kids, play, have parties, or generally just to have a good time.

Business community. The work done in and around school affords many adults the chance to support themselves. Many construction firms were employed with the new additions.

Merchandise pricing. Steve Lahrs. junior, finds that the community and Westroad 's are able to give him a place to work and make some money.

Colophon Taylor Publishing Company of Dallas, Texas was responsible for printing the 1 ,600 copies of the " Shield ," the official school yearbook of Westside H1gh School , Omaha, NE. Sales representative for the book was Mr. Carl Hardy. Body and caption type throughout the book is 10 and 8 P.Oint Helvetica Standard . Formatt type utilized in the student life section is Eurostile. Paper stock in the book is enamel.

Cover design was created by the book's editor Andy Hargitt.

The book features a Florentine grain with embossed yellow lettering on a navy cover. School colors are red and black.

The 1979 "Shield" is a member of the Nebraska Hi!;!h School Press Association , Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the National Scholastic Press Association. The " Shield" was the first place winner in the 1978 NHSPA yearbook contest, large school division and was honored with an " All American " rating from the National Scholastic Press Association .

The no-theme theme was developed by the editors of the book at a summer workshop at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.

Justification for the no-theme approach comes from the realization that Westside and its 2,100 plus inhabitants and the 1979 school year could not be adequately summarized in a single word or phrase.

Special thanks should go to the Omaha World-Herald, Omaha Sun, Mr. James Murphy and Andy Wasserman for assistance with photography; Ms. Nancy Patterson , workshop instructor; Mrs. Marilyn Hargitt for typing the index; and the Westside family for just being what you are- tops In all areas.

As a spring delivery book this book concluded with activities up to March 12. The spring supplement which is due out in late August will pick up where this book leaves off.

Simplest pleasures Daydreaming the last weeks away, we sat in class with our eyes glued to the windows. All we could think about was the warmth of a May afternoon and the freedom we'd gain once through the doors.

What was it that we really wanted? 路 What did we look for all year?

Things happened so fast, and it was easy to take them as they came and just let them pass. It seemed like we always looked so hard for things, and it was a personal question whether they paid off or not. Especially events like Homecoming. All the scheming and planning, and yet it only lasted one day.

It was always the simplest of pleasures that made us feel the best. Getting a " 1" on a quiz in Algebra-Trig , finding out your class rank was higher than you expected , getting accepted to a college that you knew you would not go to, or just seeing your name for the first time in the " Lance." There were other events that added to school life, but the every day experiences made the memories. The tardies in homeroom that were credited to the parking lots, the in-class discussions centered on subjects unrelated to the course, and the mods spent in the cafeteria with closest friends fit in with the events we'll remember most.

The real thing. Cindy Hartford and Diane Toscano, seniors, exercise the use of the pop machine before they were turned to the walls.

Final check. The head of construction for the

new girls' gym checks over final plans to see that everything is in order and ready to go.

Sparse lunch. The cafeteria is often used during lunch mods just for socializing or to catch a quick refreshment from the a Ia carte line.

We never did find one I We can look back and see how each little happen ing fit into the picture. Without them , an incompleteness overwhelms the mind , and we can 't seem to place a day of "school." Most of our high school memories are the fun we had , and not the class time or projects we were required to do.

But even some of the fun came from those classes. The intriguing topics that were discussed , or the time our teacher didn 't show up for class and we just left.

Different issues became prominent through the course of the year.

machines was given- only to be abused . Not being in use for over two months, they were removed , because of students' lack of responsibility and respect of property in the cafeteria. The dropping enrollment caused each of us to think a bit, and the proposed reduction for faculty in the district was upsetting those affected by demanded changes.

To some of the juniors and sophomores, the end of the year signified and emphasized the fact that the seniors would probably never be seen again. Knowing that no one major catastrophe would cause us to remember the year, we all siQhed

with relief. Thinking about all of the little things that made up the year caused us to reflect and reveal a tie grin.

Maybe the only memories we have will be contained in this book. And , with all of the little that happened, we never did find one particular theme suitable to encompass the feeling we had for 1979. So we're still looking for the theme.

Ught in the sky. The parking lot has memories for all. The lot becomes full there is a basketball game going on.
