Quiet falls over Westside High School. With an enrollment of 1,650 students, the lists of student and faculty accomplishments are endless . Westside High is in its 36th year of operation .

estside High School 701 Pacific, Omaha, NE., 8124 olume 31

Over 25 clubs offer a variety of choices for a variety of interests. Some clubs are based on points, others on just having fun, but all clubs involve individual people, not just a list of members.

Throughout the year, many people realize that the year is more than a report card, and that a good year was mostly characterized by the fun learning can bring.

Being an athlete takes more than just skill and talent. You are involved with others, working with them as a team . Everyone is involved in some way, be it as a player, a trainer, a coach, or a fan . Sports involved much more than just the list of names on a roster.

And the list

Throughout the list of 1,650 smiling faces one common fact prevails.

Each face has a name and behind each name, each person has a special story to tell.

These personal stories can not be described by words alone, it takes more than a list to portray them.

If we make a list of everything to break the monotony of school work, we can fill this book cover to cover.

Instead, highlighting the most unusual activities we participate in, makes life at school more exciting than just a list.

Amid all our shopping excursions, are lists and lists of places to go, people to meet, and of course bills to pay.

We compile unusual lists, to show a shopping spree that is more than just a shopping list and a wallet.

Just fooling ,around Concerts fill nights; variety of films for day I

Throughout Omaha, various new groups, as well as old, came to Omaha for summer concerts. The traditional favorites , such as Elton John, took center stage, but Elvis Costello, a punk group, also took in a large crowd. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts drew the crowd of people who were interested in new groups, while The Police attracted many, along with their back-up group , English Beat, which is a Regae group that has grown rapidly in popularity. Crosby, Stills, and Nash ended the summer tours of concerts with an outstanding three and one-half hour performance .

The list of movies this summer was said to be the largest amount released at one time, during any summer. People spent many summer evenings seeing such movies as "E .T." and "An Officer and a Gentleman" over again for the second or third time. The variety of films included the fantasies, "The Pirate Movie,"

the remakes, "Annie," the scary , "Friday the 13th Part Three ," and the unusual, "The World According To Garp ." Also there were the plain entertainment movies such as "Cheech and Chong" and for soap opera fans, "Young Doctors in Love .' ' Despite the over-abundance of rain, tans were still captured and hair showed a slight streak of blond . The summer was more than a list. It was a time to catch up on all the forgotten things and a time to share a quiet evening with a few friends . If nights weren 't filled with parties, movies, or concerts, a small group could be found gathered around the television set watching either a movie on HBO, or MTV on cable. Then, slowly, the tans did fade and the blond streaks disappeared. Had three months really passed?

The summer was more than just a list. It was the summer of '82, a special time to remember.

Catching it

list of spirit grows; people make it happen Spirit . is one word that conjures up endless pictures, virtually lists of images. It is losing a voice at a crisp fall football game, laughing at humorous debate signs, supporting a favorite candidate during class elections, and wondering if cheerleader pyramids will collapse .

People are the main ingredient of spirit. People who year-after-year try out in hopes of being cheerleader captain, or perhaps lead in the summer musical. And it is the people who watch the football games enthusiastically and spend a night to enjoy the plays and musicals that add the spice.

People, that is what spirit is all about. "Spirit is the mornings before the games when the band goes through the halls and everyone is wearing red and black and super excited about the

10- Spirit

game," said Birch Thomas, senior.

Hard work is another ingredient of spirit. In the name of it drill squad members would enthusiastically work on routines despite 6:45 a.m. practices. Debate members would . sacrifice weekends to tournaments.

Band members would give valuable afternoon time to practice their "Pinball Wizard" routine.

However all that hard work was for a good cause a good time. Games were a time to cheer wildly along with the cheerleaders, drill squad and Squires when the team scored a point. The Interact "Cuties" invited laughter with their annual impression of the drill squad.

"Spirit is going wild at games and not caring what others think of you," said John Mullen, senior.

"Flashing It" at this year's first pep rally are John Giard, Jim Baker, and Jim Murphy.

Taking time out for relaxation, John Giard, John Glazer, and Rick Hill roast hot dogs over a campfire.

All show enthusiasmSpirit felt at games Spirit is a word synonymous with enthusiasm.

Enthusiam for something can range from contributing a dollar to the United Way fund drive to being elected captain of the football team.

It can mean landing the lead in a school play or simply wearing an "I love WHS" button.

Westside spirit was new to the sophomores, but when they entered the gym, the day of that first pep rally, it seemed like an old friend.

Dr. Charles Lang, coaxed laughter with jokes about the various teams. Three unidentified flashers shocked everyone with a daring display. In the name of any

thing else, but spirit, these activities would probably seem silly. But silliness aside, the old friend spirit probably never seemed more at home when all the students, teachers and spirit groups joined in the final acclaim, "Fight on Westside."

And who can forget the first away game? It was in Lincoln, but many students made the journey only to be welcomed by torrents of rain. Sure the spirit was there, but it had to be searched for. It was hard to find the spirit when the band couldn't play at halftime and the game had to be postponed.

Band members march through the halls before homeroom on the days of special football games. Mike McKay leads the way before the Prep game .

During halftime, flag twirlers show their spirit at Westside during a home football game .

True school spirit is shown by Kelly Brewer and Carolyn Krenzer as they stand out in the rain watching the halftime show in the game against Prep.

Common goal is spirit; academics involved Spirit meant some kind of participation. It was wallpapering the halls with signs for elections, debate wins and games. It was dressing in red and black on game days. And it was riding on a float in the Homecoming Parade.

"Spirit is a group of students pulling together for a common goal," said junior Sue Foley.

So many times spirit is looked upon usually as a factor in athletic events. "I think spirit is when all the students go to a game to support their team. They clap when the team does well and they boo when the other team makes a mistake" said senior Michelle Bandur.

However, spirit is academic also. There was spirit in the pride shown when Westside had 19 National Merit Semifinalists. It was more than ever before and more than any other school in Nebraska. There was also spirit in turning on Cable

Channel 13 to watch Westside Cable News or other student video productions.

"I think spirit is enjoying your school in both athletics and academics," said Curt Krueger, senior.

Academic spirit also takes place right in the classroom.

This is best exemplified by the Physics and Chemistry large groups. Spirit is promoted by entertainment from Mr. Kevin Biga's, "Sabrina" and Mr. Louie Nieman's "Dr. Flub." The art of making academics fun not only promotes spirit, but learning also.

To many, spirit did not just mean athletics or 路 academics, but it meant supporting the school and its activities.

"Spirit is a group of students supporting their school," said junior Susan Baker.

Senior Dave Newhouse described spirit as, "supporting your school to the end."

Whatever it was, it was definitely a presence felt during the 1982-83 school year.

Omaha attracts all kinds, new developments and old.

Omaha- it's not just a place to live- it's a place to grow, have fun and learn. It's a city of exciting people, interesting places and surprising opportunities. It's our city and it has a lot to offer.

A stroll through Omaha's Old Market area offers a variety of shopping and dining pleasures. The newly completed Central Park Mall, with a three-block-long waterway and beautiful grassy banks, offers a relaxing new view to downtown Omaha.

The Orpheum Theatre is found in downtown Omaha, and offers many good musicals and plays throughout the year . There are also the Omaha Community Playhouse, The Omaha Ballet Academy and the Omaha Symphony which offer good cultural experiences. Joslyn Art Museum is also a terrific place to visit for tho~e who are more artistically inclined.

Omaha offers experiences in the great outdoors as

well.

The Old West Trail passes through Memorial Park - a great place for picnics, kiteflying, or sledding. Henry Doorly Zoo is also a neat place to relax and spend some time outside. For those who really want to spend some time in nature, there is Fontenelle Forest. which offers several beautiful hikes in marvelous scenery.

Omaha doesn't forget its sports fans, either. For loyal baseball fans there is Rosenblatt Stadium, the home of the Omaha Royals.

The several area lakes offer a great opportunity for sail boat and windsurfing races.

Aksarben offers exciting rodeos, ice hockey games and horse racing during the year.

Exciting, interesting and fun, it's Omaha- more than just a place to live- it's a city offering many opportunitites to live, learn and grow.

Omaha's gift shops added a distraction to everyday shopping. Andy Miller and Neil Bergersen entertain themselves at Westroads.

Omaha varies tastes from mouth to culture What is there to do in Omaha? Although the common answer may be "nothing" the list of entertaining activities is quite complete.

The several area theatres provide a variety of the most popular movies currently produced. For people who would prefer to stay at home, cable service has been installed in most Omaha area homes.

For those who like to eat out, Omaha provides one of the largest varieties of restaurants for a city its size .

Whether it's Japenese, Greek, or home cooking; restaurants throughout the city provide for everyone's tastes.

Omaha's citizen's tastes don't end in their mouth, which is proved by the large interest in cultural activities.

"Omaha is quite a good cultural center for a city its

size," said Mr. John Boyd, assistant to the mayor. "The Omaha Symphony and the Omaha Ballet Academy have several good performances throughout the year. Joslyn Art Museum also tries to bring in a lot of exhibitions during the year," said Boyd .

The two universities and several theatre groups in Omaha also have entertaining performances, according to Boyd.

The city's recreation programs are also quite entertaining as well as relaxing .

"The new dam site, Bear Lake and Cunningham Lake are all good recreational areas," said Boyd . "The YMCA and the several area parks offer recreational activities to Omahans," claimed Boyd. They also provide a chance for exercise in a relaxing environment. (continued on page 21.)

Utilizing the area parks and recreation is a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Charles Kirkland and Brenda Wollen relax during a fall day.

WOODMEN

Renovation of downtown Omaha has added a new, unique appearance to the city. The ConAgra and Norchem buildings represent the modern downtown Omaha of the future .

20- Omaha

Citizens comprise city; students add merit (continued from page 19.)

Behind the entertainment and recreational activities of Omaha lies a city.

"The city of Omaha is best known as an agricultural business center, an agricultural-financing center, a railroad center and an insurance center in the Midwest," stated Boyd. What makes up this city is its citizens, including the students from the several area school districts. "The Omaha Public, District 66, and Millard School districts are all excellent ," states Boyd . " All three schools have strong performances on tests, and they also have fewer problems than the national norm," said Boyd .

All the students who attend Omaha schools also have a chance to participate in many good youth programs throughout Omaha .

" Scouting, Explorers and Junior Achievement are just a few of the good programs for teens in Omaha , explained Boyd . " Each school district also has its own extracurricular activities that a good percentage of the students get involved in, " said Boyd . The opportunity for self-improvement among teens is very great in Omaha.

Students , teachers, schools , restaurants and theaters - these are all parts of Omaha , but there is much more too . The list of things to do is probably endless, so students can take advantage of the many opportunities .

When asked, " What ' s there to do in Omaha?. The answer shouldn 't be " Nothing." It should be, " What do you want to do? "

Car washes are popular places to get jobs around the Omaha area .

Steve Brown cleans cars at Phillips 66 as a part-t ime job .

The day for sleep; Saturdays spent relaxing Saturday. It's the morning after Friday night. It's the day to sleep in late and relax. Often, the entire morning is spent sleeping, along with much of the afternoon . " I sleep as late as possible," said Stacey Reese , junior , " but if I happen to get up before noon, I play the radio very loud."

Mo~t students find the alarm clock loud enough to awaken them from peaceful slumber. A good number of these students are awake by, or before 10 a.m. , to work or to attend various lessons . " I get up around 6 :30 a.m . and work until noon ," stated Adam Wagner , senior. " During the afternoon I find various ways to relax."

Relaxing is the best thing to do on Saturday according to a good number of stu dents . This is generally done in front of a television or listening to the radio . " I like to

22 - Saturdays

watch old Abbott and Costello movies and Star Trek," commented Jacque Shinkel , junior. Another junior , Michelle Maguire , said, " I usually watch MTV all afternoon, if I don't go shopping."

A more common way to relax is football. "I usually watch football on TV or go to the games," said Ted Fischer, senior. Other interesting activities on Saturdays include recuperation . " I usually eat and recover from Friday night," stated Dan Rips, sophomore.

It would seem that all the stress of a long week and maybe even longer Friday night culminate on Saturday.

Whether by sleeping , watching football or listening to the radio, Saturday is the best day of the week to relax, recover and prepare for a great Saturday night.

Raking leaves is a job to accomplish on a Saturday in fall. Karl Weinfurtner spends the day raking his lawn .

Shopping passes the day quickly.

On Saturdays this is a typical way to spend the afternoon . John Meyers and Curtis Leisey look at IZOD shirts at Kilpatricks.

Recreation is an exhilarating way to spend a Saturday. Steve Maragos, Mike Eisheid , Bob Bridges. and Jeff Hansen enjoy the sport of Lacrose on a sunny afternoon .

Auctions or shows are popular places to go to spend a Saturday afternoon . Paul Chambers checks the cars , old and new, at a car auction .

Many Saturdays are spent working to earn money for the weekend.

The material world Conscious of fashion, Westside shows style From jeans to skirts, teeshirts to blazers, the list of individual fashions seen every day was endless. The scope of style ranged from dressy to casual, preppy to punk, and cheap to expensive. This made the shopping list for school day clothes varied and sometimes quite confusing.

Take jeans, for instance, the staple for almost any teenager's wardrobe.

Choosing the brand name was only halfthe battle. Deciding on Levi's also meant choosing between red or orange tags; button or zipper flys; straight, bell bottom or boot cut legs; blue or colored denim; and the list goes on.

Why go to all this trouble for a pair of jeans? It's because a person's choice of clothes reflects their per-

sonality . "I think people are concerned about the way they look, because it says a lot about their personality," said Jaymie Rizzuto, a member of the fashion board at the Daisy .

Kim Colanino reinforces this idea, "It seems like people are judged by the clothes they wear." Cola nino is an employee at Krug's men and boys clothing in Countryside Village, a popular store for both boys and girls.

Another reason that Westside is fashion- conscience is the financial standing of many students. Nice clothes meant that the family was well off. Designer clothes were almost synonomous with money.

Barb Goldner, who works for the Daisy explains, "A lot of people here have the money to spend on clothes.

The material world Present generation sets trend for future For those who are conscious of the many reasons for being fashionable, certain "in" clothes are a must.

Every year has its "in" clothes.

In the '50s it was the greaser look; the '60s had the hippy; and the '70s had disco. The '80s now have several different styles. The one that is stereotyped as the look of the '80s will probably be formed by this generation.

Right now, however, two styles dominate the fashion scene. It seems like preppy and punk clothing are the mainstays.

The classic, preppy look, popular last year, was made famous by the book, "The Official Preppy Handbook. It prevailed as button-down shirts and boat shoes were seen daily. "Jeans, an oxford and a sweater, or jeans and an O.P. (Ocean Pacific) tee-shirt; I think that's just

about what everybody wears," said Jaymie Rizzuto .

The punk look also returned from last year. It seemed to be a break away from the conservative, preppy look. Wraparound sunglasses, mini skirts, sleeveless tee shirts and laceless tennis shoes with Hawaiian or checked patterns were on the lists of punkers .

One look that seemed to transcend the preppy and punk look was the longsleeved O.P. tee shirt. For that matter, anything that carried the O.P. brand name was "in." Both Kim Colanino and Rizzuto named this as a popular look for both girls and boys.

The fashions worn now, whether preppy or punk, do tell and will tell a little about our personalities, lifestyle and culture. They will be the basis this generation is judged qn by the generations to come.

From head to toe, Amy Bernstein, Suzanne Parsonage , Amy Berk, and Diane Murphy, are all dressed in their best sweaters and tailored suits.

College: where to go? ou remember the feeling .

The relief of know ing that you have just finished taking your ACT's for the last time , or finally completed your last essay on your applications , or the ecstatic feeling of finding out that you have finally been accepted . It is all a part of the process called going to college.

According to Mr .

Lynn Hansen, guidance counselor, people seem to be choosing colleges that are closer to home . In a typical class of about 615 students , around 315 choose to stay in-state.

Among those, 120 go to Lincoln; 120 go to the University of Nebraska at Omaha , and about 60 students go to the state colleges in Nebraska . Hansen cited the economy as a main factor in many students' decisions. In addition to the economy, students are attracted to smaller instate colleges for personal reasons.

Of the approximately 615 students, about 165 students go out of state.

Hansen felt that one of the most important parts of college is to get away from home.

He believes that it makes students more self-sufficient and helps them set goals . He feels that going away to school is a huge growing experience, even if it means going to Lincoln, it is still living independent of parents .

Sometimes there just isn 't enough time to get all your homework done , but those extra 15 minutes during homeroom can help. Peter Althaus takes advantage of this time to catch up on a little studying.

Competition between homerooms was intense as Forum sponsored its annual homeroom volleyball competition . Amateur spikers played during scheduled homeroom time .

Homeroom parties are a great way to relax before a tough school day begins. Mr. Biga and his homeroom students share some Christmas cheer before they go off to first mod classes .

The list of activities that different homerooms participate in is various . " We participated in volleyball , the pumpkin contest and the UCS drive," said Sue Baker, junior.

Then there was the activities that actually take place in homeroom. "We listen to the announcements, tell jokes and have doughnut parties ," commented Julie Wax, sophomore .

Another student , Dodi Schneider , junior, states that her homeroom " listens to tunes" after hearing the announcements . Getting homework done and lastm inute cramming for tests were also atop the list of homeroom activities.

Nevertheless , many homeroom teachers en courage all their students to get to know one another . " We played different games in order to learn the names of everyone in our homeroom, " said Baker .

Of course , there are also varying opinions about the effectiveness and necessity for a 15-minute homeroom everyday. " I think the best homeroom would be a five minute homeroom where they read the announcements and take roll ," said Wax. "Then we could be dismissed from school at 3 p.m ."

Every student probably has his or her own opinion about what would make a perfect homeroom . However, as it stands right now, homeroom is a great time to participate in some fun activities, cram for that first mod test, or just get to know new people .

Practice aids product time develops ability As actors and actresses gain experience and ability needed to achieve success, so has the drama department gained success.

The four plays put on were: "Arsenic and Old Lace" in October; "Our Town" in December; the one-act play, "Crimes of the Heart" in January; and "Kiss Me, Kate" in March . Of these four, Mr. L.D. Fortney, drama instructor, felt that "Our Town" and "Crimes of the Heart" were the biggest successes. "I think 'Our Town' was tremendously successful," Fortney said.

Reasons for this opinion were that "Our Town" was done as an experimental play. In it, there were no sets or props, and Fortney, who directed, also was one of the cast members. He felt that

this first experimental play was a success. Ann Gleason, cast member, said, "I thought 路 "Our Town" was one of the best plays Fortney has ever put on."

Another success that Fortney cited was "Crimes of the Heart," a one-act play . The play, directed primarily by Melissa 路 Maloof, senior, won at the district competition over Millard North, and Lincoln East, last year's state champion. The cast members of "Crimes of the Heart" then went on to place second in state competition, behind Lincoln Southeast.

Night with the stars Planning adds class to ~Hollywood High' People take for granted that Homecoming begins with the bonfire on Thursday night , proceeds to the parade on Friday afternoon then on to the game against Benson that Friday evening, and culminating with the dance on Saturday, October 23 .

In reality , the preparations start weeks in advance . This may include finding a date , a dress or suit plus accessories , buying flowers and the tickets, deciding where to eat, and what to do afterwards. These are the more obvious ones.

Behind the scenes, Shelly Jones and Kathy Korff, overall co -chairpersons , met with Mrs. Peg Johnson and Mrs. Maryanne Ricketts , sponsors of the dance , to plan the theme, set up the committees to take care of publicity , decorations, the band , and the coronation of

the king and queen . They along with about seven clubs, planned the dance.

This planning and organization was apparent in the over-all effect.

The theme , " A Night with the Stars at Hollywood High ," was inspired by the backs of album covers .

Kathy Korff said, "The theme really worked well and was easy to plan a round . In my mind , I'll remember the sparkle of the stars and how classy it all was ."

With the theme taken care of, planning for the bonfire , parade , and dance could begin . The bonfire weather was mild and at least 200 people attended. The parade , sponsored by Student Advisory Board, consisted of entries that contained a mixture of bunnies , stars, and red and black. Dance decorations were stars and more stars .

"At that e, there were 17 teachand 344 students," statOr . H. Vaughn Phelps, suntendent of sc~ools for strict 66. The district has considerably since t time and now consists 11 elementary schools, junior highs, and one ior high . According to , ten years ago, when nrollment was at its peak, are frequent visitors to the "lding where they make ints or ask questions they have about the school sys-

While enrollment endures its ups and downs, maintaining quality is still district's key goal

"There were about 550 teachers and approximately 37 administrators . Now there are about 400 teachers and about 30 administrators," said Phelps .

Phelps went on to say that the maximum enrollment in the district, ten years ago, was just over 10,000 (kindergarten through twelfth grade). "Right now," he said, "it's just under 6,000 students, which looks like a 40 percent drop in enrollment. '' Although enrollment is still decreasing, Dr . Kenneth Hansen, associate superintendent, sees the positive aspects saying, "It's allowed us to have smaller class sizes and to get away from overcrowded buildings. Declining enrollment has al-

lowed us to concentrate on good educational programs, rather than, as in times of growth, just trying to keep up with the growth," he said. Hansen also cited some negative factors of declining enrollment, like the concern for maintaining good neighborhood schools, and having to cut back on staff. "The challenge is to maintain the quality and diversity of programs that we could with larger schools-to keep a variety of opportunities for students.''

Students in the district, taking the opportunities offered them have accomplished much . Phelps cited two areas of achievement in the district. "One way," said Phelps, "is that a large number of our students go to col-

lege . When they go on to college, they succeed . Secondly, the majority of our students complete high school." Phelps mentioned that the percentage of District 66 students completing high school is about 98 percent or more.

This excellence in achievement is mirrored throughout the district. "Our primary goal," stated Hansen, "is to maintain a high quality edu cational program. The thing that we concentrate on, that sets us apart as a school district, is wide community and parental involvement in the school program . Our goal is working for excellence in all areas."

he government is everyT where.

There's no escaping it. It acts like a god - it gives and it takes away . It could take away your favorite teacher next year.

Every year the state legislature budgets a certain amount for education . If District 66 gets a reduced budget, the administrators must cut costs. Teacher salary is an area that is often cut.

Individual salaries aren't usually reduced, but some of the positions are done away with. This procedure is referred to as a reduction in force (RIF) .

Teachers being considered for RIF have to be notified in the spring about that possibility. Mr. Dick Lundquist, head of the guidance department, said, "There is usually some chance that they really won't have to leave, and even if they do

Government educational allowance cutj causinR department cutbacks, as well as 'Riffed' teachers

have to stop teaching, they may get hired back in a different position."

Lundquist cited Mr. David Rodgers as an example. He received a definite RIF notice last year and lost his job as an auto-mechanics teacher . He was hired back this year as a member of the coaching staff and a building supervisor .

Mr. Kevin Biga, physics instructor, received RIF notices the past two years in a row, and said he expects another one this year . "Last year, even though I got one (RIF notice), I knew I'd probably be back, just because of talking to some of the other teachers."

His outlook for next year is not as optimistic as before, but he thinks he'll still be here next year. The year after that, however, "well, probably not."

Seniority is one of the deciding factors in who stays and who goes. Another protection of a teaching job is education. The more a teacher has, the better chance he has of keeping the job.

Another teacher who is in danger of being "Riffed" is Ms. Lisa Knopp. This is her second year of teaching English, although, she said, "I came here right out of college and was told it might only be a one year job because a couple of people were on leaves of absences, and had the option to return. I wanted the job bad enough to take the risk .''

She received a notice in February that said there was a possibility that she'd have to leave. For four months, she had to worry and wonder. "I started thinking about what I'd do, but didn't

take much action job-hunting. I only knew I wanted to come back," said Knopp. ''There is probably a real good chance of getting another notice this year, and although I do have more ties here than I did last year, I am fairly mobile . I could substitute teach or even go back to school. I could be a student forever," she said .

Biga hasn't really made any plans for "just in case" either, "I really don't think about it much, but I know I should. I guess I'd probably go back to school."

If the omnipresent government should cause a teacher to leave school, that teacher would probably find a way back. Maybe not to this school, but another, either as a teacher or a student.

Phelps dies of heart attack; light is out, house remains The light in the lighthouse has been darkened, but the lighthouse remains .

Dr . H. Vaughn Phelps, district superintendent for the past 25 years, died February 24, of a heart attack, in his sleep.

The measure Of the man can best be described by the human emotions that surfaced the morning of his death .

An elementary teacher broke into tears as she explained the complexity of death to a roomful! of first graders; a high school principal's voice cracked as he informed faculty members individually as they filed into the school to begin the day; a secretary in the administrative building wore dark glasses to cover tear-stained eyes; and an elementary student dedicated a song on a local radio station to her fallen leader.

An outpouring of cards,

messages and flowers came in from across the country to honor a man who was most assuredly a national leader in his field.

The morning of his death, the 57-year-old superintendent was to attend a National Association of School Administrator's convention in Atlantic City, NJ. Instead, members of the convention held a special assembly to honor the District 66 leader, a former president of NASA. Funeral services for Phelps were conducted at Countryside Church where dignitaries from across the state gathered to pay their final respects.

Phelps liked to refer to District 66 as a "lighthouse." And as superintendent of a district that had built a national reputation, the beam this district had spread wide and far .

But nowhere was the beam brighter than in his

own district. Phelps delighted in the challenges of providing for a district that saw phenomenal growth in the '50s and '60s, and remained optimistic for a district pla gued by declining enrollment in the '70s and '80s .

Mr . lrv Yaffee, former school board member , who had retired from the board of education just last year after 24 years of service said, "He was District 66 . His perception and innovative programs were ahead of most others and gave us the reputation of the lighthouse district.''

In a " Sun " newspaper feature story published the night before his died, Phelps said , "It was a great distt路ict before I came, and will be after I am gone. " And the ships wait for the beam of light.

"Vaughn Phelps was a hero in a world that has few heroes. There are only a handful of people who virtually everyone could agree are great leaders in American education. Vaughn Phelps was one of them .... American education will miss him very much because he has made a great contribution to it. But American education will always be more effective because of his example and his leadership."

The School: acelifts have become inFcreasingly popular among American women in the past decade. But facelifts are nothing new at Westside . If, at this point, you are wondering what facelifts have to do with the school , your confusion is justified.

The "facelifts" that the school has been receiving since 1951 have been in the form of renovation .

In 1951, the entrance by the guidance center was the extreme east end of the building, according to Dr. James Tangdall, principal. At that time, Westside High School consisted of what is now the recreational gym and locker room, the boiler room , the cafeteria, the science and home-economics wing, the woods shop, and

Westside's continual trend of facelifts has advanced money from levy form taxes

the administrative offices.

"In the early days," said Mr. Paul Andreas, history instructor, "about 700 kids, in grade school, junior and senior high, attended Westside."

In May, 1958, additions to the school included the little theatre, the boys' gym, the English and math wing, the social studies IMC, and the band room.

When most think of the school, they naturally visualize the pool area also - the area akin to members of the swim team and sometimes dreaded by sophomores.

But , there was no swimming pool at Westside until August of 1963. In the school's early days, there was even a senior dining room, now the science IMC , which was ad-

ded in January, 1968. In October of 1977, the new girls' gym was added, as well as two elevators and two ramps . The science wing was remodeled in 1981. In 1982, the home-economics rooms and music area was remodeled. This summer, according to Tangdall , plans are to remodel the lower hall, including the Commons area, the cafeteria, and the recreational gym .

Tangdall said that before any remodeling can be done, a building committee within the school examines possible areas in need of renovation and sets their priorities.

The committee then meets with the superintendent and an architect. The school board makes the final decision on the renovation plans,

usually in January. Of U renovation which is planne , " Most all is done in the sun mer," stated Tangdall, "th路 is the most convenie time."

As in all situations toda money plays a large part i renovation of a building. Th cost of the work done eac year is around $400,000, ac cording to Tangdall. Thes funds come from a buildin levy from taxes. The mone from the levy finances prq jects throughout the distric Tangdall stated that plan are to continue renovatio throughout the building. S as American women conti ue having facelifts in futur years, remodeling will co tinue at Westside.

According to the resulting printouts , there are 35,361 persons residing in District 66, which is divided by land into tracts. This lump sum population is then divided into 16 ,944 males and 18,397 females .

Concerning only those at the high school level, there was a grand total of 2,751 students between the ages of 15 and 18. The Westside enrollment is considerably lower, but the statistics did not take into account those in junior high or graduated, or those who did not attend school.

And there are lists of more statistics hiding behind those of population . The census also gathered information on the various races of people in the district. Of the 8,107 persons between the ages of five and 18, 6,194 are white. Following in number are the black populates who number 15. The Asians include four persons and the Spanish contribute seven .

Family Life is also included by the computer-compiled facts. There are 8,532 married couples with children under the age of 18. And, 1,052 children under 18 living with their non-married parents.

Considered under the title family also are the 256 people 18 or younger living with

In the numbers more common to the high school age level, there too, are virtually lists of numbers. According to Dr . Jim Tangdall , principal, there are an estimated 1,684 students enrolled at Westside . Divided by sex, there are 865 males to the 823 females . The staff includes 103 classroom teachers, three media specialists, six counselors, two deans, three assistant principals and one principal.

However, another physics law perfectly describes the behavior of people who put things off, stating that energy is always conserved . To this, procrastinators reply, "You're damn right it is."

Ironically, while procrastinators are often criticized for wasting time, they are actually efficiency experts.

They can figure exactly the shortest period in which a project could possibly be completed. Very good procrastinators often say, "Ahh, I can do that in no time ." These people often underestimate the assign-

Instructors sometimes issue a syllabus to help students stay on schedule. This means little to procrastinators, who have dedicated their lives to taking the lead in bringing up the rear . "Last semester I wrote three English papers in one day.

Sometimes I have to finish a whole syllabus the night before an advanced senior math test, " said Steve Moffit, senior. It's good that students aren't given a syllabus covering their assignments from kindergarten through high school , because procrastinators would experience puberty at the second grade level. Students often justify putting off homework

for a month by saying, " I wanted to mature a little before touching that PreCalc."

One nice thing about procrastinators is their belief that things will look better in the morning, including homework. However, they often forget their other belief that morning will never come. "Sometimes I get really tired at night and finally decide I've got to go to sleep. I set my alarm for 6:30, thinking I'll get up early to do my assignment. But I usually oversleep and have to go without the homework," said Tim Kratz, senior. This type of studying is called the "underdog method," as students surrender all time advantages to their homework. "Procrastination is my biggest problem in school. I hope I can change that before college, but I probably won't get around to it," said Kratz.

College applications give students a chance to show their ability to put off work from schools they aren 't even attending. If you want an easy laugh, say "early decision" to a procrastinator.

"Applications are a monumental stumbling block. Kids don't understand the problems with an absolute deadline. They digress from their first choice college by procrastinating," said Mr. Lynn Hansen, guidance counselor. However, while procrastinating is bad for students, it's wonderful for overnight mail services.

When asked if he put things off, Jordy Patenode, senior, replied, "Do I procrastinate? I 'II tell you tomorrow."

Influences

Influences: ust as cold weather influJences one to dress warmly, there are many outside occurences which affect one's daily life. Though often more subtle than the weather, these influences affect actions and attitudes.

Famous psychiatrist Lawerence Kohlberg theorized that everything a person does in a lifetime is learned. If this is true, the people and things that surround a student, like parents, teachers, pE!ers, religion and the media, are more influential than most realize .

According to Dr. Tim Evans, ~chool psychologist, parents play the most influential role m a teenager's life. It's parents that leave a lasting impression on one's Perhaps one of t he greatest Influences on our lives is religion. Most fam ilies attend weekly religious services, or at least during holidays.

Here a family leaves Christ The King Church after a Sunday service .

Parents impress teens most; peers effect immediate

forming values and ideas . 路'All the best statistics we have indicate that parents are the greatest influence," he said, "Over the long haul, I think it's the parents."

But there are other influences that Evans failed to mention. "What about peer group?" Mr. William McCormick, social studies instructor, said, "I think it's their peers. I think teenagers are very cognative, very aware of those around them ." Evans agrees that peers have the most immediate influence, "In adolescence, the peers have an immediate influence ."

Similarly to parents and peers, teachers can be another source of role models which influence one's life. Although unfortunately to some, a teacher's influence is not that great in the immediate sense. "I'd like to say teachers, but they (the students) would rather have peer approval," said McCor-

mick. "Teachers are an influence, again, over the long haul," said Evans, "Most teens will point to a significant teacher along the way ."

On the other hand, religion is an influence that is not embodied in a living example. Although most agreed that religion is not a major influence at this time in most teenager's lives. it is more likely to be a long-term influence. Father Robert Kenny, assistant pastor of Christ the King Catholic Church, expressed concern, "It (religion) doesn't have enough bearing it should." But there is hope, he adds, "Religion does not have a tremendous bearing until we start to think, until we're older ."

Another tremendous influence that is probably overlooked, and again not embodied in a single person, is the media . "I think the media has a more over-whelm-

ing influence than we realize," said Mrs. Willo Boe, television instructor and media specialist. She said that media enters all facets of a person's life. It affects language, attitudes, morals , fashion, music, and actions.

She even theorizes that media has a larger impact than peers, because it's the media which influences them, and they in term, influence others.

The media influence is inevitable, she added, "You walk through the snow and get snowy . It's the same thing with the media ."

Eventually, a teenager will be able to sort out the good from the bad . The parents, teachers, peers, religions and media will each hold a space inside of everyone . All of a lifetime will be spent experiencing outside influences, just like the weather influences one's dress.

Parents do more for their ch ildren than just providing food and shelter. They also provide moral and emotional support. Paul Horner 's parents attend a sophomore basketball game to cheer their son on .

A well-known drinking game at the high school level is called "quarters." The reason for its notoriety extends into outside influences; acceptance of drinking, and peer pressure to do so .

list..less But Lively¡ .academic performance The influences¡• Disappoi~ting causes th1s var1 ety of rose to grow

Awould rose by any other name smell as sweet.

The names Scholastic Report and Mid-quarter Report seem "sweet" enough, but the more common term, downslip, just doesn't sound as good.

Those three names mean the same thing. According to Mr. Dick Lundquist, head of the guidance department, downslips are an attempt to notify parents of a student's failure to hand in assignments, failure to work up to ability, poor attendance, incomplete work, or just plain failure in that particular class.

"They basically give a youngster a kick in the appropriate place," said Lundquist. Sometimes these kicks may be felt as they are meant to other times they may be poorly aimed.

Lundquist said that the downslips, do, in many

........

cases, serve a real and necessary purpose, but, "If a student has received four or five downslips per quarter, every quarter, it probably has no real effect in changing the attitude or the grade."

Mr. Bob Klein, physics instructor, has a different view of a downslip's purpose. He said the physics teachers only send out downslips to the very few students who are in strong danger of failing the course.

"Downslips serve little function other than providing a tangible backup in the case that a failure does occur," said Klein, "so the parents can't say that we didn't warn them."

He said that usually the student is notified that there is a concern, and the parents may also be called.

"The actual communication has more effect than a slip

~

of paper, but it's all a part of the legality. This way, the student, parents, counselors, deans and anyone else concerned is aware of the problem."

Another teacher who agrees with the communication theory is Mr. Bill Nelson, social studies instructor "Most problems can be taken care of by talking to the student about the problem.

On rare occasions, I call the parents too. I just don't like the concept of downslips.

They are just too impersonal."

While most students are probably glad not to receive a downslip, Megan McGowan, junior, doesn't really mind. "I think teachers should send them out to all their students so the parents have an idea of what's going on."

David Stiles, sophomore, is a multiple downslip recipi-

ent, and said that his parents didn't really get angry, "They just said to bring up the grades. I didn't get grounded, or anything." Although Stiles said he didn't think downslips served any real purpose, he did try to bring the grades up.

Lundquist said there was a drawback in the mailing of the reports. "We are aware of the fact that many students get to the mail box before their parents. They usually get caught, for example, at conferences.''

Besides, there are several copies of the downslips, Midquarter Reports, or Scholastic Reports kept on file throughout the building. So, if you happen to take one of the "roses" from your mailbox, you rT)~Y get stuck by the thorns, as there are still many copies left at school.

Forum begins war on drugs

Plan suggested Alcohol and drug abuse is prevalent in many schools across the nation.

In Nebraska, 74 percent of the males and 64 percent of the females in grades 7-12 had used alcohol in the past 30 days when a survey was taken by the Nebraska Prevention Center for Alcohol and Drug Abuse in April and May of 1982.

Marijuana use in the past year for students above 15years-old was 33 percent for males and 34 percent for females. While, 15 percent of the males and 20 percent of the females smoked cigarettes regularly.

An initial sociology class survey on drug abuse, that, according to Mr. William McCormick, was, "just to stimulate a discussion," found statistics close to the national average here.

Reacting to this survey, Forum found that its responsibility is to propose the organization of a committee to investigate and act upon the problems of drug abuse in District 66.

In a preliminary discussion held at a Forum meeting in January. suggestions were made for when a drug abuse program could be taught.

Plans suggested were: 1) Two to three weeks of required English time; 2) One quarter of P.E. large group; 3) Homeroom lectures; 4)

62

Forum

Extended sophomore guid ance.

During each of these times the use of readings, assignments, multi-media presentations, large group lectures, small group discussions, a final paper, and/or a minimum competency was proposed. Even the idea of a play dealing with the life of an alcoholic with a panel discussion afterwards was brought up.

Emphasis was placed on programs that would be long term with short term reinforcements. Activities were to involve an interaction between students, parents, and teachers. ''The idea is to make students more aware so that hopefully, they'll all think twice," said Wendy Greenberg, sub-committee chairperson.

The decision was made to start more alcohol and drug education before the high school years and a meeting with all physical education teachers for grades 7-10 was set up.

If their goal is reached, Forum will increase the remembrance of such information, and will hopefully allow Westside to drop below the national average.

"Westside is not average in anything else," stated Greenberg. "Why should we be with this?路'

Volleyball spiked homeroom competition and Jenny Monroe gives it her all to try to bring her homeroom a victory.

Representatives not only attend the Forum meetings, but , like Beth Rigatuso , they report back to their homerooms to keep everyone informed .

It would be difficult to organize the Forum meetings without sponsor, Mr. Herring and the presiding officers, John Rood and Kathy Korff, to lead the student body with a smile .

SAB events create a 'TGIF' mood

Goodies top list Friday. It's the day when everyone slams their locker doors with sighs of relief, and talk to friends about weekend plans. So, it isn't surprising that yet even more good things crop up on Friday-Student Advisory Board (SAB) sponsored activities.

HomerooM doughnut sales top the list of Friday goodies, and according to Stacey Davis, vice president, "We make about $50 to $60 per week on them ." Another project that nets "pure prof-

it'' is the sale of "Sweet Nothings." "Sweet nothings" include a note from a friend on pink paper with a piece of candy attached.

"We try to provide extracurricular activities so a lot of students can participate," remarked Mimi Sherlock, SAB representative.

With everything scheduled on a Friday, these activities can be an added incentive to fun; whether it's buying a flower, or eating a doughnut.•

'Lance' reporters resemble those on 'Lou Grant' I

Staff finds the scoop Ever noticed on ''Lou Grant" where reporters run in and out of the office trailing jackets and coffee cups, especially when a big "scoop" has just turned up?

The "Lance's" office looks similar, except that piles of books and coke cans replace the coffee and trench coats.

For high school reporterson-the-go running around is a fact of life.

One step to writing a good story involves making phone calls or walking the halls in order to complete interviews. "People like to get their names in the paper," said Melissa Maloof, editorial reporter. Yet, when it comes to feature articles on teen-

66

I

age vices it's a different matter entirely.

"On some topics, like barhopping or poolhopping, kids think it's embarrassing to have their names printed in the paper. They're afraid their parents will find out." commented Neil Bergerson, reporter. A second difficulty in conducting interviews, according to Anne Peterson, feature editor, is that many people don't realize that anything they say may be quoted in the paper. "A lot of people see their quote in print and don't like it. They may think that it makes them look dumb. Then, they say that they never said it in the first place," Peterson re-

marked.

There is a reward for all the hard work, which, according to Peterson is equivalent to the ratio for every hour spent in class it is at least five more hours spent outside of class. The information and facts a student reporter turns up in his quest for new material can be surprising.

Reporting is another form of creative writing. It isn't just a stepping stone to a career. According to Bergerson, the "Lance" is run on a pretty professional basis.

"Everybody tries," he said.•

Program offers necessary experience

Shortage of jobs overcome Everything seems to be going smoothly, until the interviewer comes to that inevitable question, "Have you had any previous experience in this type of work?"

Especially when the job is going to involve specialized work, it is a necessity to have an answer to this question. For the new high school worker it isn't often that one can respond to that particular question in the affirmative.

However, there is a way to get that necessary exper-

ience without joining the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines. On the Job Training (OJT) can provide training in specialized areas for future career moves.

Bobbi Stremlau, senior, is one of many who took advantage of the program.

The program provides a realistic view of the job at hand . "I used to plan to go into the field where I'm working in now, but I saw what it involved and changed my mind." stated Stremlau.

Perhaps the biggest benefit derived from the program, (that is, aside from the money and experience) is the opportunity to view other types of jobs. "I got to see other people in different fields such as special education and business and personnel managers," said Stremlau.

It always helps to be prepared. At a time when students struggle to obtain that all-important job experience, OJT promises to provide necessary help. •

Business plans mixed with pleasure

Convention kicks off year A goal, not the kind you make while playing football, but a plan you make yourself and carry out as an accomplishment. Distributive Education Clubs of America help students make goals for their future in business. "It helps students develop into future leaders in marketing and distribution and prepares students with career explanation." said Mr. Dick Rezac. sponsor of the organization.

The Central Regional Conference was held at the Holi-

day Inn, in Omaha. This was a "kick-off" to the 1982-83 DECA program.

Over 1700 students from 13 states attended the convention. Westside had 12 representatives. out of the nearly 400 attending Nebraskans. Over 40 chapters came.

After the opening of the convention. the practice continued. There were guest speakers and discussions and the state officers (defensive and offensive starting players) were intro-

duced. Students then went to workshops to master the skills of leadership and how to succeed in life.

Besides all the work, there was also enjoyment. "I had a really good time, and they taught us skills in a creative way that made it really interesting," said Mimi Lemmers, president. A Las Vegas night with black jack and other casino card games took place and there were two dances.

Just as Westside took state, the celebration was on. •

Competition judged on dramatics

Characters come to life This is no ordinary classroom. It is the scene of a tragedy. One person stands alone at the front of a room.

As the sad story unfolds, characters com.e to life, feelings are portrayed and spontaneous bursts of conversation fill the silence of the surroundings. Then comes the moment of truth. The judge must decide on the performance of dramatic interpretation, one of the many areas of speech competition.

Dramatic interpretation differs from a stage performance in that it has the restriction of having to remain stationary throughout the speech.

According to Mr. Joel Heim, sponsor, "You have to suggest characters or emo-

tions by using your voice, body stance, or gestures."

The person reciting the piece must interpret two or more characters. ''The competition must make their characters come to life," stated Heim.

This is an important detail in order to compete well at tournaments where there may be 40 to 80 individuals.

"It's an accomplishment to make an outdated classical piece believable in ¡ our time," added Ann Gleason, junior.

A Greek tragedy is, now, heard in the room. The pace rises and falls in accordance with the action that is supposed to be taking place.

Again a tenseness pervades the air as the contest continues ... •

Voices carry across state of Nebraska

All-state choir selected The last weekend before Halloween, junior Cyndi Sorenson was neither making plans for a masquerade, nor carving pumpkins. She was one of 2000 hopefuls on their way to Elkhorn for AllState Choir auditions. The contestants were judged on specifics such as breath control, sound and interpretation of the "piece."

Later, Sorenson discovered that she was one of the 450 high school students who had "made it" in what

can best be considered, "vocally, the best experience in high school," as Sorenson stated.

The next experience that Sorenson had with the group was a weekend clinic.

During that time, rehearsals occupied nearly six hours of each day preceding the final performance, the first made by the new All-State Choir.

"It was very impressive, being able to sing with 450 of the best voices in Nebraska," said Sorenson.

Other benefits derived from being in the choir include becoming eligible for European Tours, national choirs, and summer performances. "I get literature from colleges now, and AllState looks good on reference and applications," said Sorenson. It would appear that for her at least, the old adage that "There's no business like show business" is true. •

Band room renovation dusted off

Face-lift finished Downstairs, the sound of a drill and the banging of a hammer were heard instead of music.

Last May, about three weeks before the close of school, vocal music and band students had a change of pace. Instead of going to the band room, classes were held in the girls' rec gym.

This was due to renovation which was to take place over the summer.

Now the band room has a completely new look. A hallway now goes through the band room. The "dirt room" was also redone for needed storage, according to Mr. Roger Groth, band director.

New doors have been installed and a new coat of

paint covers the old. A listening lab was added so that students could listen to different types of music.

Groth's office was relocated.

"A security system was installed to protect the instruments," said Dr. Jim Tangdall, principal. The approximate cost of the entire renovation was $200,000.

"Students have a much better opportunity to practice where less disturbance occurs," added Groth.

Now the last bit of sawdust has been swept off the floor and the paint smell isn't as bad as it used to be.

Umbrellas and garbage bag coats

Top rain fashion "Rain, rain, go away.

Westside Warriors want to play," was the chant that could be heard from members of the cheerleading squad, drill squad, and Squires throughout the football season.

Although the rain drops made Friday nights in the first half of the season wet, it was evident to people in the crowd that the spirit wasn't dampened. "Funner" was the word used by many members of the spirit groups to describe cheering in the rain. "I was having a good time just jumping

around," said Andrea Berk, cheerleader.

Others, however, didn't find the rain to be quite so thrilling. According to Amy Stuhmer, Squire, "It was absolutely freezing in the rain."

Umbrellas were opened. and garbage bags were transposed into raincoats.

As the first drops began to fall. some fans vanished to take cover. However, the spirit groups were content to shiver. Come rain, snow, or sunshine, the cheers and enthusiasm continued. (continued on page 82.)

Rain dominates (continued from page 80.)

The first experience of cheering in the rain came with the Lincoln East game.

Spirits were high as the drill squad decked the spirit groups' bus with streamers and posters.

Strong winds, humidity, and darkening skies met the cheerleaders, drill squad, and Squires as they pulled into Seacrest Field in Lincoln. As time went on, the possibility of rain became more evident. However, most just laughed it off and joked of it being a tornado.

Few had come prepared for a major storm.

The few sprinkles of rain

quickly flooded into what one cheerleader described as a torrential downpour.

Dashes were made to attempt to shelter the pompons, clothes and purses.

Such attempts were mainly, unsuccessful. Fifteen members of drill squad and Squires reordered pompons.

Although the band was unable to play due to the rain, the spirit groups sang the words to "Go for broke.'.' As the rain pounded against their faces and drenched their uniforms, the shout that "it just didn't matter" grew louder. (continued on page 84)

Thunder, lightning, wind postpone Lincoln East game

Spirit shines through the rain (continued from page 82.)

The referees at the Lincoln East game, finally, decided to postpone the game.

This decision, according to Mr. Ron Houston, athletic director, "wasn't soon enough with all of that lightning around."

"Lightning hit the trailor next to our bus," added Susie Engdahl, Squire.

A mad scurry was made by the spirit groups up the steps, as they grabbed all they could carry. Carefully avoiding the red and black streamers and rain, they quickly packed into the bus.

Rain-drenched pom-pons were tossed into a corner to avoid the dye and to keep it from staining their uniforms.

After approximately 45

minutes, it was announced that the spirit groups would be going home due to a decision made by the sponsors.

The convoy of buses departed for a slick ride home.

Cheers about being rained on, such as "W-E-T, we're as wet as we can be," caught on quickly. Typical band songs, and regular cheers and chants were yelled in unison.

"During the time we were going home, the game back in Lincoln had been resumed," said Paula McNamara, drill squader . "It was like since we couldn't be there for real, we were there in spirit."

The musical accompaniment came when the bands' bus broke down and it was

necessary to take on some "bandies." The instruments added to the fight song sung many times on the way back. As the lights of the city appeared, the commercial jingle "Omaha, Omaha, it's the best place of all . . . '' began. The cheers and songs didn 't end until the bus pulled into Westside's parking lot.

Many had found the last 45 mnutes to be some of the best ever. Most would agree with Greta Olson, Squire, why the trip home was so special. "It was great. Everyone was wet and cold, but they were happy. We were fired up singing, laughing, and cheering. We all had fun being together," she said .•

Time donated to wrestlers

Six add support Enthusiasm rises as another victory is taken down for the wrestling team. ·This zeal is generated by a lone squad of six girls. These six girls spend two nights a week practicing cheers, and several others making posters, conducting fund raisers. and having meetings.

No tryouts were held to be on the squad. The girls joined the group ''to show our spirit for the wrestlers," said Bev Jensen, junior.

According to Kelli Eickelman, captain, "I can notice that sometimes when the wrestlers hear the enthusiasm, they really get going."

The crowds at the wrestling matches are generally

not large.· Mothers. however. add a lot of support, commented Eickelman.

Cheers are not the only support that the cheerleaders give the wrestlers.

They buy food such as oranges, hard candy, and Gatorade for the matches.

Some of their money comes from bake sales. However, the squad had to overcome a debt left by last year's squad.

"The wrestlers are, what I'd consider unsung hereos.

They train hard and have to have a lot of discipline to lose weight." said Eickelman. "It's a good cause. It's worth it to spend our own money and time on it.'' •

No, this isn't the Squires or drill squad. It's the "Cuties." For nearly 12 years, Interact, a male service organization, has performed a routine created by senior Squires or drill squad members.

Make-up and wigs create a female facial appearance and balloons are used to create that "busty" look. Borrowed marching skirts allow for "a little leg to show."

echo from the crowd as they seem to enjoy the change of pace, (and clothing). According to Cyndi Sorenson, junior, "It's really fun to watch, because you never see guys dressing like girls."

However, the precision of the routine and kicklines take practice. For approximately two weeks before they perform, the "Cuties" work out every morning for about an hour.

According to Kelly Brewer, junior, "It's great that they're not embarrassed, or worried about what other people think because it's something that's really funny to watch." •

Sweet tooth survives 25 years

Candy tops sales What's rich, thick and caramel, almond, peanut, crunch or plain, and only has about 200 calories a bar?

Answer: The fund-raiser candy bars sold by International Club.

The candy was sold for the 25th consecutive year, to raise money for scholarships of students going abroad and students continuing language studies. "I think that

selling the candy bars is the best fund raiser we could ever have," said Amy Abbound, secretary of International Club.

The responsibility of the candy sales goes to Mrs. Phyillis Smith. She has been in charge of sales for the past three years, this being her fourth. "I really enjoy working with the young adults at Westside. They are

a class above all others,'' commented Smith.

This year, the club rose over $6,000. The candy bars are "extremely successful," said Smith. Also the money does go to help the students. As for the taste of the fabulous candy, "the 200 calories are well worth it," said Amy Davis, Junior.

Creative writers produce magazine

New ideas become stories Writing comes naturally to some people. Janine Lamm, president of the Creative Writing Club, summed it up, "When you write, you have to be inside yourself and be in touch with what you want and feel at that moment.

Some people have to be really depressed to be able to write."

The next step is to write down what one is thinking.

However, the following step is the most difficult. Lamm said, "Many people feel that after the writing is done, there is nothing but smooth sailing ahead. But this step is the hardest. It is difficult to let people read your writing,

let alone critique it and most importantly, submit it for publication.''

After that is done, the papers are sent to an editing board. The editing board decides whether it is published or not. Sometimes the story or poem did not have a complete thought, make sense, or wasn't clear and understandable. Also, the story may be too controversial or too political.

A magazine can't be sent to the printer until all writing has been supplied. Lamm said, "Many students don't realize that anyone can submit a writing. There is a box in the English Instructional

The Creative Writing magazine covers a variety of subjects. Lamm, however, wishes that "people would fill out the surveys so it would give us an idea of what readers want."

A cover is drawn using its own theme or a visual graphic from a story or poem.

Big dreams come true

Club breaks past Declining enrollment is a good reason for the failure of a club . Lack of good leadership is yet another excuse. Whatever the reason, the 1981 -82 Drama Club failed to provide an active program . "It was virtually nonexistent last year," said Bob Severinghaus, this year's president.

After the previous unsuccessful attempts to launch a Drama Club, sponsor Mr. L.D. Fortney declared his resolution that the 198283 school year was going to be the last shot. If interest was not sustained, he would no longer sponsor the club .

These resolutions do not appear to be so threatening now. The year began on a successful note with

about 40 members remaining active in the club. According to Severinghaus," "There's much more involvement with all the productions as well as the club over last year." Reasons for club involvement include the fact that it provides "good experience" as Sharon Naumann, sophomore, remarked. However, there's always room for improvement. "The club is not publicized. People judge before they experience it, or else they're just not exposed," commented Naumann.

As far as the club's continuance goes, Naumann believes that, "It's active enough to continue, and the group is a fun group .

It's a worthwhile club."

Diving into the deep is 'cool'

Con test adds fun Ping pong ball races , obstacle courses, and scavenger hunts are more than just fun and games to Subsurfers. They are events held annually in the "Subsurfers Contest" during December.

This so-called "crazy" contest has been held for the past 12 years in Westside's pool. It is only the third of it's kind .

The contest consists of 12 different activities: Seven under the scuba category and five under the skin category . The activities range from swimming lengths of

the pool to putting together an electrical box under water.

There is no limit to the number of events each participant can enter as long as "he wants to take the time to practice for them," said Mr. Harley Hardison, sponsor.

Practice is held every Monday night from 8 to 9:30. Practice according to Pat Dunker, isn't too bad because, "its cool to go under water.''

If the saying "practice makes perfect" holds true, then there is a reward at the

contest. First, second, and third place placques were awarded in each event. Also, awards for the decathalon winner, best participant and sportsmanship .

There were more than just awards to be obtained from this contest. By practicing, the members were taught how to use scuba equipment correctly and the fundamentals of diving.

No matter what they get out of it. most members seemed to enjoy it. "It's wild," stated Jeff Netsch, "to go under water and not have to come up for air."

Donors almost meet blood drive"s goal

Requirements cut number Sorry Charlie, you can't give blood. Charlie was one of the many who could not give blood for one reason or another during the Future Medical Assistants (FMA)sponsored blood drive. The blood drives were held during the first week in December and the first week in March. This was the seventh year the drives were held.

There are few requirements for donating blood, but those few, restrict certain student donors. You must be: at least 17-yearsold and weigh at least 110

pounds. Mrs. Donna Kendall, sponsor of the drive, said, "The requirements are set because students' bodies are still growing and they need the blood ." Some other barriers include being anemic, being on certain medications, having an operation close to the time of the drive, and high blood pressure .

There were 78 donors in the December drive-65 students and 13 teachers . This number was sufficient, nearly reaching Westside's goal, although about one-fifth of

the prospective donors were turned away.

Giving blood not only helps people now, but could save the donors themselves some time in the future.

They could find themselves in the recipient's position after an accident, operation, or any of a number of reasons why people receive blood. "There will always be blood for those who need it." Kendall stated, "But satisfaction is still the number one reason when it comes to giving blood." •

Sophomore year the intellectual began a cut above the rest. Starting in physics, the mere 15year-old was a whiz at relativity. Free mods were spent diligently in the English IMC rather than the cafeteria, and many weekends were devoted to Charles Dickens. At the end of the year when

grades were decided he received the news he had been waiting for . He was first in his class .

By his junior year he had enough credits to graduate, but motivation was endless. Graphing cotangents in pre-calc came easily, and were actually enjoyable.

As a member of the Chess Club he managed between plays to contemplate his goals in life.

Scores of 750 on his SAT were satisfactory, but were of no significant importance. Harvard was all that mattered.

Rules of a punker I

unk rockers usually listen to groups like The Sex Pistols and The Anti - Nowhere League.

There seems to be no time for the " sinful " groups like heavy metal AC/DC or the sweet and cute Hall and Oates.

Each punk rocker has his own rules for dress, but there are the basics .

There usually has to be at least one piece of clothing that's ripped or has a hole in it. If he doesn 't have the scissors around , he should wear pants that are too short with some combat boots.

The basic rule for hair is

P

short, spiked , or dyed . A mohawk is always nice .

Accessor ies for the punker can be found easily . If he runs across a rusty cha in and a lock, he saves it . It would make a great necklace . Also , save all safety pins . They work like a dream when he needs an extra earring or an added facial attraction .

Last of all , since he doesn 't care about much (except for Blackflag albums and safety pins), he doesn 't smile often unless something crude happens.

he unsung heroes of sports are the trainers.

They are the ones who remain at school from 3:10 to 10 at night, every week day while the athletes practice or compete.

These are the guys who, unknown to the average spectator, spend the time, before and after practices and games, treating injured athletes so that they are able to continue participating.

Adam Wagner, head trainer, commented, "Our main function is seeing to the welfare and rehabilitation of injured athletes.''

Training knowledge is

10- Seniors

important. Wagner explained that he and some of the other trainers have gone to training shops in the past at schools such as Drake and the University of Missouri.

Although many are unaware of the "behind the scenes" work of the trainers, Wagner said, "I think the players appreciate it." Hubert Ban, trainer, agreed, saying, "I'd say the players appreciate us."

Wagner summed up the job of a trainer by saying, "All the trainers are like a team . We're here to support the athletic teams and to see Westside win ."

Arms require attention, and Hubert Ban helps Dave Rookstool prepare for the game.

Securely taped ankles are a necessity for football as Wes Stephenson provides effective wrapping.

But in attaining this thrill there are some problems. Live music is not readily available to Omaha teens. Bars are difficult to get into, private parties cannot afford the big names, and teen nightclubs are uncomfortable to some, and not abundant in Omaha.

Rock and roll is the mainstay of almost every teen ' s musical diet. "The Firm" and "Hit-n-Run" are popular. "Charlie Bur-

ton and the Cut Outs" remain the favorite, however their rockabilly sound guarantees sold-out records and full houses .

Hard-core punk rock has a following almost completely made up of young people. Groups like " The Modern Day Scenics" and "Generic Youth " may not be popular in bars , but when the Juke Box or the Cavern Club open their doors to the local punks, there is quite a following of teenagers.

Omaha bands might not be accessible to area teenagers, but they do have young fans, rooting them to stardom.

Future holds fear Advice Is needed when college decisions arrive, and John Rood seeks answers from college counselor M. Hansen.

Handbooks of all types can answer what is questioned when it's time to leave home. Mandy Arnold begins planning her future after high school.

Fortune tellers can look into a crystal ball and see the future . But for seniors, there are no magic answers for the time to come.

For most seniors, graduating from high school means facing some tough and frightening decisions. Decisions that could effect the rest of their lives.

According to the counseling department, 76.3 percent of all seniors choose to continue their education in some way.

Grades are a major cause of worry. College marks can mean life or

death in the job market.

Senior Nancy Friedman expresses her fear as, "not doing well in college.

My worst fear is getting bad grades."

Another fear is making new friends in college or any other chosen career.

Julie Brannen said her fear is, "not having everything go the way I want it to go in college, and not meeting the right people " So for the seniors who feel their crystal ball of the future seems cloudy, relax, because others feel the same way.

We walked right into a liquor store stake out and got busted for minor in possesion," said a junior.

"I never considered the risks I was taking when it came to drinking." Many teens don't anticipate the consequences.

The consequences in many cases are that minors who are cited for the possession of alcohol are given a court date and until this date their car is impounded, according to Mr. Ed Stribley, drivers'

Half the deaths, injuries, and property damage occurring each year stem from accidents in which alcohol is involved . Usually, those who are arrested for driving while intoxicated are booked , given a blood test, and if found guilty, spend seven days in jail. When asked what the laws are pertaining to minors buying alcohol, Stribey said, "You can't have it."

Risks are Involved for the under 20, and who get caught drinking and driving must suffer the consequences.

A can of beer is often seen on a Friday night out. but the choice to drink lies in each student's own hands.

Today's new trend has girls taking the initiative and asking guys out. Kathy Smith works up her courage and calls a friend for a date .

Couples in the halls are a frequent sight. Brad Stock and Stacey McGuire make their way to class.

The new initiative ating seems to have taken on a new perspective. The girls are taking the initiative and asking guys out. It is not only at Christmas Prom time, but on weekends as well.

Some guys feel very negative about girls asking guys out. Mike Glessman, junior, said, "Maybe I'm a little old-fashioned but I don't think a girl should ask the guy out except at Christmas Prom which is a tradition. I would think differently of a girl if she asked me out."

While others feel it's a good idea. John Lee, ju-

nior, said, "I think it's all right if a girl wants to ask a guy out. Generally, if she does, they are already good friends."

Many girls feel they should because they shouldn't leave all the asking and cost up to the guy. Jayne Ebers, junior, said, "I think girls should ask guys out. It takes courage and the ability to accept rejection."

Although people's views differ on this, the future may hold a different answer. It may become more popular and not thought of as a new concept, or else it will slowly die out.

Yet, there are those who can find better things to do on weekend nights.

"We really don't hang out," said Mary Johnson, junior, "we usually go to a friend's house or parties, if there are any." Mike Fleming, junior, agrees.

He said, "We go to parties, a friend's house, or just drive around."

According to Tom Mahowald and Dave Robb, seniors, many seniors hang out at Casabella. When asked why, they said, "Casabella has great pizza and their beverages are only $2.75 a pitcher."

ost high school athletic teams have people behind them like parents, spirit groups and fans.

Most high school students, although they may not realize it, also have people behind them; people like Calvin Klein, Bill Blass, and Gloria Vanderbilt.

The designer jean craze seems to be going strong at Westside, although the old favorites, Levi's and Lee's are not far behind.

Although looks are important to many people, comfort, a good fit, and price are the main determining factors in the choices they make in pur-

chasing jeans.

"I like designer jeans, because they look nicer and last much longer . You usually get what you pay for," said Traci Tesar, junior. Kim Musgrave, sophomore, also prefers designer jeans because of the better quality, " ... but sometimes they get a little crazy with the things they put on the pockets."

Other designer items, such as shirts, sweaters, skirts, and even socks are also popular, because of their acclaimed superior quality. Popular brands are J.G . Hook, Liz Claiborne, Polo by Ralph Lauren and, lzod.

The fashion look is important to those planning their fall wardrobe . Whether it is designer or not, quality is what counts to Janel Priess.

A helping hand is always needed when a decision is to be made.

Tracy Sullivan and Ted Fischer combine their talents in finding the perfect outfit.

Expensive monitoring equipment, is all part of working in T.V. Production class. A cable student watches to make sure the camera angle is just right.

Cable comes alive E

Cable Is bigger and better this year. Judy Saniuk prepares Dick Taylor to go in front of the camera , for T.V. Production class.

choing through Westside 's television studio are the sounds of the floor director 's commands , the camera's movements, and the music cues.

Westside 's cable production class has doubled in the amount of student involvement in the past year . Credit to this increase belongs in part to Mrs. Willo Boe , television production instructor.

Boe , however, credits the success of the program to the students. " I coordinate things to meet air deadlines, otherwise the students do it all."

The students produce a 15-minute , bi -monthly in-

formational news program , televised on CoxCable, channel 13. The students do everything from appearing as talent on camera , to editing the final videotape of their appearance .

The cable class is separated into two blocks .

Production deadlines are met every two weeks , so while one block is assisting the elementary and junior high students . the other block finishes editing Westside Cable News.

The news pr ogram is entitled " District 66 News Focus," and is televised Monday through Friday at 6 :30p.m .

Enthusiasm falters

Junior varsity players Tadd Meyers and Dave Sterba, give their team the support it de路 serves. Though enthusiasm may lack on the outside there is a lot of it within the team.

The bleachers are filled with loyal fans hoping to encourage the team. The crowd is screaming enthusiastically as they cheer on their favorite players to a big win. Not if you're at a JV game, however. The bleachers might be half full, but the big enthusiasts just aren't there. The game is a little slower and defintely much quieter.

There are various reasons for the little enthusiasm at JV games such as games being played at bad times. "The games are often played on weekdays when I don't have time to attend," said Sheral Cwertnia, junior.

Another student commented, "The JV games

aren't as exciting and don't have as much action as the varsity games."

Whatever the reason for the lack of support, it does appear to hinder the teams. Many of the JV coaches agree that large crowd support can help encourage the team, but few JV games get large encouragement . "We didn 't get much support or recognition this year," commented Ms. Linda Adamski, JV volleyball coach.

Apparently, JV games aren't believed to be as important or exciting as varsity games. Nevertheless, much time and effort is put into the games by the players.

Those, along with a good personality were the only items which males and females choose for their perfect mate. "Blond hair and blue eyes show off a good tan, " said Laura Peartree. Other features mentioned were a cute smile and big muscles.

Males' top concern is looks. They design their "1 0" to have blond hair, blue eyes, around 5'6" and weigh 115 pounds .

"10." Mike Fehr said, " I feel Christie fits her swim suits the best." Looks, personality and body were the top three traits which males look for in their ideal woman.

Females choose blue eyes, blond hair, between 5'9" and 6' 1" weighing 170 to 180 pounds. Richard Gere had the most votes and Rod Stewart , Timothy Hutton and Tom Selleck followed behind .

Sandy Otto remarked, ''Richard Gere has the type of look which says .... TEN!" Personality is what takes the cake for females. Looks, body and dress are also ranked high with everything from intelligence , money and involvement in school being mentioned by both males and females .

Great expectations ndless parties , Saturday night dates, E stimulating classes . Is this high school? Incoming students who expect high school to be exactly like it was for Greg and Marcia Brady, may be in for a rude awakening. While high school can be wonderful, it has its bad moments , too.

Students with realistic expectations seem to be happier with school , than those with unrealistic ones. " I think I probably expected too much ," said sophomore Amee Kavich . " I thought we would do more with the upperclassmen and that school

would be more fun ."

Some students have mixed reactions and they ultimately find that the good outways the bad . '' Although I thought there would be more parties, I really haven't been disappointed ," said sophomore Suzanne Parsonage . "I knew there would be a lot of homework and it wouldn't be fun all the time ."

School usually plays a big part in a student's life.

What kind of part can depend on the student. Parsonage sums it up best. " The harder I work to make it better, the better it gets.''

Involved sophomores find adjusting to school not as difficult as anticipated. Chris Luby finds scuba diving an enjoyable way to get involved and prepared for deep-sea diving.

They a1m to please ven though piles of homework await , and your mother has been calling you to dinner for the last half hour , you just can 't seem to tear yourself away from that great new video on M-TV. Now that Cable TV has been installed throughout the district it has become the handiest excuse since " the dog ate my homework ."

One reason this may be so is that cable has something for just about everyone. Cable carries such things as the latest up dates on sports and weather, recent and classic movies, educational and rel igious programs and local programs on public access channels.

Cable viewers who want to see recent and popular movies will probably find wha . they want on one of the movie channels such as Home Box Office , Showtime or Spotlight.

E

" The thing I like about the movie channels is at the movies are rotated and you can see most of the movies even if you don't have all the stations," said Amy Berstein, junior.

Sports fans can find out the latest information on virtually any sport or team by tuning in to ESPN , the sports channel.

The public access stations available cover news and happenings in our area and educational access stations feature educational programming.

Music TV on channel 40, is a very popular feature on cable according to many students . M-TV features videos of different groups performing current new wave and rock hits.

Next time someone tells you " I didn't get around to doing it." more than likely they suscribe to Cable .

benefits Thursday night partiers.

Dreams of open campus do not come true to the underclassmen, but blue slips are given to those who have a note from home and a couple of mods open . "I wish there was some sort of system that would allow sophomores and juniors to earn privileges before they become seniors," said Sarah Waddington, sophomore.

There are many advantages that the school gives to the seniors, so the underclassmen should not worry, they'll get their chance.

Seniority provides special privileges for students such as Adam Sarbin and Dan Hartley , making their way out to lunch .

Hollywood High's image is hard to live up to . Steve Maragos , Erik Frost . and Mary Goodhard try to keep the image alive while arriving at school in a limousine.

A fast-paced image cars. fancy N ice clothes, and lots of money belong to those in the jet set. What was typical of Hollywood , California had reached a Midwestern high school.

Life in the fast lane with style and glamour was the projected image , but other schools viewed it as arrogance . At the top of every list, both athletically and academically, we cast an impeccable air. " It doesn 't represent the school as a whole , only individuals ," said Greta Olson, junior . In-

deed, Hollywood beholds many types , as does Westside .

Inside the brick walls of Hollywood High is more than the glitter of a hot , west coast city. Pride in itself, with a motive to " win with class " and a concern for top grades goes hand in hand with every school day . The image is one of a fast-paced, popular place where all the action is . " I think the image is flattering , but you don 't want people to think you ' re stuck up," stated Andee Arnold .

Five pounds to go E

diets to make a certain weight. They are capable of losing anywhere from 10 pounds in two days to 17 pounds in two weeks .

Wrestler Terry Magid commented, " Competition makes up for the damper of losing weight.

Girls have various reasons for going on diets.

"It's in to be skinny. Everyone is -that's why I diet," said Michelle Rynaski. Other popular reasons are for appearance and to feel better. Some girls resort to health food if diets aren't going their way. Susie Noddle said, "My diets never work and I feel health food gives you more energy .''

ating sparingly of a set amount each day is what many teenage girls abide by. Only a handful can honestly say they have never had to diet.

Westside females listed a variety of thinning techniques which they have tried . The Cambridge and Stewardess diets ranked the highest for written diets, while starvation and " no name" diets are also popular.

Athletes, including swimmers and wrestlers, pick a proper diet. The swimmer may go on a low protein , high carbohydrate diet. This diet is designed to store energy .

has been waiting for . It's Homecoming, Christmas Prom or maybe even Junior - Senior Prom . It promises to be a most memorable evening, but will the actual dance real ly be worth the time and money spent on it?

Many students don 't think that the dances are worth the money spent on them . " I spent close to $150 , just on clothes ," stated Ann Gleason, junior .

The guys' costs are definitely not small either . " Homecoming cost me about $100, " said one sophomore boy .

The money is spent in various ways . For girls, dresses, shoes , and

purses top the list of expenditures. For guys, it's flowers , dinner , and afterdance activities that cost the most.

With all the money spent, it is surprising to learn that many students spend very little time at the actual dance .

Nevertheless , there are several students who feel that school dances are well worth the money and effort spent on them . " I really enjoy getting to see everyone dressed up and having fun ," claimed Daun Feirman , junior.

So perhaps the dances are worth the expenses they create . Even if a lot of time is not spent at the dance itself, the dance will be a part of that memorable evening.

Suspense and action filled the stage of .. Arsenic and Old Lace.路路 as Adam Zweiback and Marc Jacobs follow the direction of Mr. Larry Fortney.

Improvement is noted in the lively performances of Mr. Larry Fortney.

Melissa Maloof is one of the young actresses to participate in various plays.

Play time improves hush falls over the audience as lights grow dim and the heavy stage curtains part. The play begins in a rush of light and magic. Interest appears to be reaching a new high in play productions. More students are discovering the dedication and time involved to create those few, magical moments.

Directing a production is a big job that involves more than sitting in a chair with a megaphone and sunglasses.

Mr. L.D. Fortney, director, says that he averages more than 100 hours of time per show within the various areas . Fortney himself appeared in the play "Our Town," which added to his busy schedule.

A

The scenery is done mainly by Fortney, but the publicity and "props" aspect have recently been taken over by students. All this does not include blocking the show and rehearsing with the cast.

"Mr. Fortney is a motivator-he expects a lot of his casts, but his perfectionism makes you want to work even harder," said Ann Gleason, junior.

The main idea is to have a good time with a valuable learning experience . "Hopefully, my enthusiasm catches on," stated Fortney.

Judging from the increase of those either trying out or attending the plays, it would appear that his enthusiasm does catch on .

A quick conference in the hall between Mr. Bill Schleifer, Mr . Ron Huston, and Dr. James Tangdall can iron out any minor problem that seems to come up on an ordinary school day.

Pursuing pastimes time is important F toreeeverybody, including

teachers. Their hobbies are just as diverse and exciting as their personalities and teaching methods.

Motor cross is Mr. Don Meredith's favorite hobby.

He started riding 12 years ago in the woods, for enjoyment and soon took it up competitively. "Motor cross is a fascinating sport and I knew I wanted to participate." Meredith was sponsored in a year and has won the Grand National Championship three out of four times in his age group. Meredith continues to enjoy this daring sport.

Writing and planting fruit trees are Mr. Paul Andreas' unusual hobbies. He has written 17 articles for the "World Herald Magazine of the Midlands," and 10 years ago started composing a

book. "I write any chance I get," said Andreas . His book is a true story about three lives that come together in Omaha, which he hopes becomes a movie. "I like to write, but it is hard work.

You have to choose a good subject and a catchy title."

Being a companion to her husband allows Mrs. Sheryl Wiitala to participate in an interesting hobby. Wiitala is one of 49 spouses of a State Senator . They are invited two or three nights a week to a dinner in Lincoln where different groups discuss relevant issues. Wiitala also participates in parades and the County Fair which are important. "I have met many interesting people and it has been a very worthwhile experience. The only setback is the financial side of politics," said Wiitala.

vER-SA-TILE describes many of our teachers who have been chosen, or requested to diversify their careers through courses they teach.

Biology and Russian History provide Mr. Paul Andreas with variety. Employed by Westside since its inception, he said, "The only way to make good money is to stick around. You earn it from seniority." Andreas is one of the few teachers in the country to teach Russian History - a course which he has taught for 25 years.

"I'm a free man and my bosses aren't too tough," concluded Andreas.

From 1971 until 1977, Health was taught by a man now known as the Dean of Boys. Mr. Roger Herring was asked to become a dean due to admistrative changes. "I felt this was a good appoint-

ment, an opportunity to experience administrative work.''

Many of the foreign language teachers have taught Vocabulary Enrichment in addition to language courses. Mrs. Mary Davis, head of the foreign language department for 17 years, said, "Traditionally the Latin teacher teaches one Vocabulary Enrichment class.

The other is taught by whichever language teacher has the lowest class load.

Nebraska Wildlife used to be a mini-course taught once a week. Now Mr. Bruce Skinner's idea has come full circle. Skinner taught Health until this year, when it became part of the physical education department. "I teach life science and help out when a course is loaded," said Skinner.

Decisions must be contemplated at school board meetings, and Dr. H. Vaughn Phelps, superintendent, certainly has a handful at every meeting.

Supervision and guidance are provided by the deans every day . However between the pressures of the day, Mrs . Peg Johnson , dean of girls, and Mr . Roger Herring, dean of boys, catch a moment of relaxation .

Faculty

Department changes provide a vayiety in the life of a teacher. Mr. Kent Luetke-Stahlman has switched to working with computers.

Chemistry and physics have allowed Mr. Biga to broaden his insights to science. Now in physics, Mr. Biga has taken a new pathway to teaching.

Weightlifting

Weights improve physique

Workouts expand mind, muscle

Sports activities fall into two different categories ; team sports and individual sports. There is much to be learned from a team sport; how to work together and get along with other people . eut there is also a great deal to be learned from an individual sport.

Weightlifting is an individual sport that many people take part in. Some do it to become more fit for another sport, while others do it for the purpose of toning their bodies and keeping in shape.

It takes a lot of desire and 'dedication to become suclcessful.

"I like the way it makes me feel and it maintains my weight," said Bill Vivian, senior, "I put on 25 pounds while I lifted for football, and even though the season is over, I will continue to workout to keep fit.''

Weightlifting is as much a psychological sport as it is physical. "If I miss even one day I feel like I cheated myself," said Carl Schanbacher, senior, "I don't even think about doing it - it's a drive. You set your goals and once you accomplish them it gives you a great feeling of self-satisfaction .''

Schanbacher, along with

many other weightlifters, works out six days a week "You alternate exercises so that your muscles have 48 hours to rest," explains Schanbacher, who works out one and one-half hours a day, "If you don't, you will begin tearing down your muscles instead of building them up."

Another weightlifter is Barb Czeranko, sophomore, who lifts for the sole purpose of helping her with swimming. "I hate it, commented Czeranko, "but it builds up my endurance and my strength which really helps to improve my swimming."

The secret to weightlifting is eating a lot and being intense in your workout. However, what is eaten is just as important. "I eat a lot of healthy foods,'' said Schanbacher, "This includes a lot of protein, vegetables and carbohydrates, and absolutely no junk food."

Weightlifting is good for the mind as well as the body.

It takes a lot of motivation and dedication. "It's a sport that grows on you," said Vivian, "it becomes a habit and I think I will continue to work out for years to come."

Agility Is demonstrated as John Czeranko does squat lifts to build his lower back and leg muscles.

The bench press is the most popular feature in the weight room . Dan Gwartney builds his arm and chest muscles from his constant use of these weights.

Determination is illustrated on the face of Brian Burkheiser as he works on the hip sled machine. This is a quality that is necessary in any successful weightlifter.

No. 1 prediction fulfilled Warriors: The best team e ver?

The Westside story: a story of success. Last season the Warriors took the state championship title, and following the pre-season preqiction, they took it once again.

It was an exciting game and the 5,075 fans who braved the cold weather didn't seem to mind a bit.

For the team the pressure was on; they had' defeated every team they had met on the field and it had been pre-

dieted that they, again, would be Number 1. "I was a little worried, we were playing away from home and that is a little tougher. We were also playing in the biggest game of the season," said Coach Dan Young, "and it was nervewracking, but we had practiced hard and had played successfully in big games before so I was a little more confident."

The opposing team, Lincoln Northeast, was over-

whelmed with the Warriors' ability, along with all the other rivals Westside left behind, a complete string of 11. The team, as Steve Vana put it, " had gone a long way" and they well deserved their high ranking, reputation and the recognition that came along with it.

For many of the players it was the last time they would ever put on a helmet again and it was the last time the Warriors would play togeth-

er as a team. "I was really excited about the championship but at the same time I was very sad, because it was my last high school game," commented Vana. " It is sad to see so many of the good players who have been around for so long leave," said Young.

The Warriors leave with 24 consecutive wins over two years and a No. national rating by " USA Today ." a national newspaper.

Steve Vana breaks through the Lincoln Northeast defense on his way to another touchdown.

Bone rates 9th in nation .A wesome skills amaze opponent "This group loves to play and they love to win ," said Coach Dan Young. To say the Warriors played an excellent season would be a drastic understatement.

With another undefeated record behind them, the players were headed for yet another state championship and a ranking of 9th in the nation .

"There were no real stars on the team ," commented Young, "we had a lot of great players with a lot of ex-

perience. They knew what it took and they worked together." The wishbone offensive plays had much to do with the Warriors ' successful season. "It makes us a closer group and lends to team unity," said Young, "and at the same time it makes our team stronger mentally and physically."

"The wishbone technique also enables the team to benefit from Jeff Taylor's running and passing ability," said player Steve Vana.

The crushing wishbone option is demonstrated by quarterback Jeff Taylor and halfback Todd Johnson .

Quickness and agility were the skills Steve Vana needed to escape the oncoming tacklers.

Head Coach Dan Young gives a smile of pride after defeating Lincoln Northeast and being able to take the trophy home for a second time .

Many other teams attempted the wishbone offense, but none were able to perform it as well." "It is harder to execute than other offenses, said player Terry Magid, "This is Coach Young's fourth season of teaching this technique and many of the players have been running it for three years." The Warriors' opponents found it difficult to play around the strong offense.

The bone was very symbolic of the team . It was car-

ried out before and after th game and the players coul be heard chanting "wis bone" which was very m the key to their success. it takes skill and talent fore any technique can successful and the Warri had it all.

"We were successful, cause we were confi and we worked a lot then everyone else," sai player Brad Fulner, "it was combination of goo coaches and good players.

Success becomes tradition JV,s 34-0, soiDething to brag about JV and sophomore football teams found success in two different ways . The JV team ended the season with a 9-0 record , completing a record of 32 consecutive wins , while the sophomore team held a 1-6-1 record .

Pride was one of the poslb ve effects on the outcome of the JV season . " Those kids took a lot of pride in keeping the win streak going," commented Mr. Don Gilpin, assistant coach . Gilpin attributed much of this boost in spirit to Jeff Smith, who was voted by the team , Most Valuable Player on offense and " Mr. Spirit. "

Some of the outstanding players on JV were the members of what the te;;~m called the "Jeff backfield ", which consisted of Jeff Smith, .leading rusher with 289 yards for the season; Jeff Netsch , second leading rusher; Jeff George, quarterback and corner back; and Jeff Syslo , full back. Another notable player was Mike Fleming, leading passer , who passed for 548 yards, resulting in 28 complete passes out of 50 attempts for the season . Honorary captains were Dave Kranda, Don Bierman , Jeff George , Jeff Smith , Jeff Netsch , and Mike

Fleming.

Although the sophomore team's record was not as impressive as that of the JV team , Mr. Tom Sneckenberg, assistant coach , said, " These sophomores improved as much as any sophomore team I've ever coached. " Andre Flott, linebacker, was the unanimous choice for defensive player of the year on the sophomore team . Voted best offensive player was Dave Coco .

The so-called "light at the end of the tunnel " for the sophomore team came in their last game of the season

as they beat Millard North , who had been undefeated .

Sneckenberg said , "It was a frustrating, but enjoyable season because we had trouble getting a win and we knew we had the talent to win ." Altogether, the two teams had a successful season: the JV had the undefeated season that every team hopes for, and the sophomore team, while not successful on the official record, was successful in gaining valuable experience in preparation for next year .

Confidence aids spikers Girls fall in state semifinals If there was one word to describe the varsity volleyball team, ranked third in the state by the "World Hearld," it would have had to be confidence.

Coach Ann Royle led the spikers through a winning season and to state competition knowing that this year's team was going to be one of the best. "I knew that we would be pretty darn good," said Royle .

From the beginning of the season, talent on the team

was apparent. Royle was confident, because many of the previous season's starters were returning.

It seemed like the team had strength in almost all areas of the game, especially in the area of confidence.

"In volleyball if you have a weakness, you get beat," said Royle .

Confidence that the team had, sometimes came from a unique program used to psyche up the players.

"Lately Mr. Doug Krecklow

has helped us with mindbuilding process," said Royle. This program is an auto-suggestive method of preparing the players for the game." It relaxes you. It's a combination of music and inspirational talk. It helps you visualize winning. Your mind is on all the positive things," said Royle.

The season was primarily a successful one. There were a few losses, the most devastating being the loss during the state semifinal

round . But overall the season was one of the most successful during the past seven years, commented Royle.

The next season promises to be a difficult one though.

"It will be a rebuilding year," Royle said, "We lose all but two letter holders, but," she adds, "they're not losing confidence.''

The 1982 volleyball team recorded a successful season. It was one of the best teams the school has had in the past eight years, according to Coach Ann Royle.

Although the team lost to Ronca IIi and Millard South in the regular season, they competed in the state finals for recognition as the top Nebraska high school volleyball team. Unfortunately, Westside lost to Lincoln East in the finals and eventually took third in state competitions.

Overall. the JV volleyball team had a good year . With a record of 7 wins and 4 losses, they have good reason to be pleased .

Golfers, Bo claim a '10' Players satisfied with outcome One positive way to describe the girls' golf team's finish in state is the Bo Derek style. Like Bo, the girls' team also finished a perfect "1 0" in state .

Coach Roger Hoffman said, "The team had a few fair players , but none that could lead the team to a state championship." The three top "lO's" : Janet Jones, Ann Bush, and Susie Engdahl had a 108 average

which is nowhere near a state championship score .

"The team would have been much better if we would have been more dedicated, but many of us participated in other school activities," said player Susie Engdahl who is also a member of the Squires. Engdahl also mentioned, "One strong point of our team though, was the player's consistency .''

One good prospect of the learning season is that the team has many areas to improve in . The top teams will have statures to maintain next year while Westside could go in and surprise many schools.

Improvement is the world Hoffman expressed for next year's outlook . He said, "The players have the talent, but they 're going to have to improve a lot this

summer." He thinks the outlook will be rewarding if the players put in the extra time.

Susie Engdahl explained the year by saying, " I wouldn 't consider the year a bad one. Almost any school in the state would consider even qualifying for state an honor." The Warrior girls finished out the season with a lOth place rating at the state tournament.

Potential success Experience trains young team Often when a team suffers an off season, the term "rebuilding year" is used to describe the squads' performance . In the case of the '1982-83 cross country teams, it was truly a rebuilding year.

"I was worried," said Coach Tom Mallisee, "at the

beginning of the season, because most of our runners graduated last year. Kit (Brune) was our only returning girl."

The outstanding runners were, according to Mallisee, Tom Klein, for the boys, and "Kit Brune and Andrea Curuso were by far the most outstanding athletes for the girls."

Filled with excitement, Andrea CaThe girls' team had its ruso and Kit Brune find they both best day at the district meet qualify for the state meet.

while the boys didn't perform as well. "If we would have had an average day, " explained Chris Vincentini," we would have gone to state, but we didn't."

Mallisee termed the boys' district meet as one of the more disappointing moments of the season, stating, "Nobody qualified for state.''

Brune and Curuso both qualified for state at the dis-

trict meet with finishes of fourth and fifth respectively . ''The outlook for next year is very good ," said Vincentini, "I think we have a good chance at taking state next year." Coach Mallisee wouldn't go quite that far but said, "We'll have a lot of people returning next year.

We should do fairly well."

Terri Meyers was the only girl who qualified for the state meet. ''Terri was a very hard worker and accomplished any_thing she put her mind to," commented Coach Tim Willits. "At the beginning of the year Terri was working on a back flip with a full twist. She wasn't very

close to accomplishing it at first, but by the end of the season, she was doing it with ease."

Meyers placed third in the district meet, thus qualifying for the state meet. At state she didn 't do as well. She ended up placing in the top half of the floor exercises, but there were many competitors. "I feel it was an honor just to make it to state . I was satisfied with that," re-

The lindquists played their match against Burke whom they had already beaten in a previous match. ''They were ready to play because they had already warmed up earlier in a match against a tough team and we had not," said Tim .

"We hadn't lost a match all year, and even after the coach told us that we had already lost the team title

because of a loss to Lincoln Southeast, we still wanted to win badly," commented Todd.

The match the Lindquist 's played against Burke tied 66 and in the tie-breaker, the boys lost to Burke 7-3 .

"Four points decided the State Championship," said Todd, "after all the work we had put into tennis, we come up four points short." " I was sad," said Todd, "as a junior I had won state, but as a senior I lost. Second place isn't bad, but it just

isn't easy to take after having won state the year before ."

Next year the team will lose Todd , one of the teams' top players, however, Tim, his counterpart, will remain to play for two more years.

"There is always next year to look forward to, " said Tim, " but we wanted to win , because it was Todd's last year . We had a good season and I was really happy that Todd chose to play together as a team rather than as a singles player ."

Hunting

It's in season Hunters help stabilize nature One of the oldest sports in the world still exists today.

In the historic days, it was used as a form of survival, but today hunting is considered a hobby and a sport.

Many students hunt basically fowl. Pheasants, quail, duck, and dove are the game most commonly hunted in Nebraska. The reason for this is that a lot of wildlife in Nebraska can't be hunted, because there isn't enough of it. "I would like to hunt other animals, but there aren't enough of them in Nebraska, said Jim Albert.

II

Most hunters hunt for the sport of it. Willie Schmidt, who has been hunting for four years, explained, "I like to shoot a gun. I don't specifically like to kill the animals, but it is more challenging than shooting at a target.

Many of the animals are starving anyway.''

Hunting also has a dangerous side. Many people have been hurt or killed by inexperienced hunters. Jeff Netcsh, a five year hunter, was once struck by buckshot. "I heard a gun go off, and I felt a sharp pain in my

neck and chest. I was wearing a vest that carried my bullets which stopped most of the buckshot. It probably saved my life," replied Netsch. Netsch was shot by an 11-year-old boy.

Boys are not the only hunters. Senior Susie Olson has been hunting with her father since she was 5years-old . She got her first gun when she was 14, at which time she took the hunters' safety course. "I don't emphasize the shooting," said Olson. "Often times I go hunting and never

shoot. There is a lot more to hunting than people think; it is a sport that is greatly misunderstood.''

What many people don't know is that the money spent on hunting stamps, equipment and licenses goes to the preservation of wildlife, so essentially, there would be no wildlife without hunters.

"I love hunting because it is a neat experience being so close to all the wildlife," commented Olson, "Hunters are people who enjoy and respect nature.

Winning - a tradition at Westside, was an understatement for the varsity basketball team. They not only had a wining season, but they won 23 games consecutively. The only two losses were to Millard South who the Warriors beat during the Holiday Tournament. Ex路 ceptlonal talent and teamwork made them a number one team.

The Warriors did make a comeback, but time was running out . The clock showed 58 seconds to go, but neither the players nor the fans were ready to give up.

Soon it was over and the

loss was hard for everyone.

"It was the hardest I have ever had a team play," said Coach Tom Hall. "Tom Thompson was not at full strength following a bout with mononucleosis, and we had played a tough game the night before. It was almost unfair to expect them to come through again."

The team ended the season with a remarkable re-

cord of 23 wins and 2 losses, both to Millard South. "Arecord like that is phenomenal and is unheard of in Class A," comented Hall.

There are good teams and .here are talented players ~nd the boys' varsity basketall team, rated No. 1 in the rid Herald" Class A rat, has the best of both. only are they talented, they display a unique caraderie that is not often en.

"We have been successful far, not because we have

a lot more talent than our opponents, but because we play well together," said Jeff Taylor.

The "World Herald" commented that the team "looked like a political rally with plenty of hand-shaking and back-slapping" after a point was scored. "You can tell that we are very teamoriented," said Tom Thomp-

for opponents son, "each person contributes a part to each game and no one is selfish."

The positive, strong attitude among the players and the coach has carried the team through with an impressive season . "Our goal is not to win every game, but to play the best we can and be the best team we can be by the end of the season,"

commented Coach Tom Hall. "This team plays better offense than any other team I have ever had."

"The best thing about our team," commented Todd Hinkle, "is that we are good friends and it is much more relaxing when we play and we have a good time."

Well-def ined technique and maneuvers are keys to a successful offense. In the Holiday Tournament against South , Mark Robinson displays these talents .

Sophomore, JV Basketball

JV claims talent Close games are disappointing Building for the future, the junior varsity and sophomore basketball teams both experienced seasonal ups d downs. The JV team lost number of disappointing mes. According to Coach ave Bacon, "The sophoores used skills well, but reached their full poal."

The JV team continued to improve throughout the season. "Our team has learned from its mistakes," said junior, Dave Sterba, "and we are striving to have a good team next year."

The sophomores bounced back after their opening double-overtime loss to post a string of victories and

close out a successful season. The team's wins included a first place victory at the Prep Holiday Tournament in a come-from-behind win over Ralston. "We improved every game, but we needed to be more consistent," said Bacon, "Our main concern of the season was to build a team that would play well to-

Mr. Vic Porter, head coach , admitted to not having great speed or height, however, he doesn't feel that this inhibits their playing potential.

He also, reinforced the fact

that the statistics don't always show the contributions that the girls make. " There is a lot of work done in the trenches," added Porter.

Girls' JV /Varsity Basketball

Teamwork, skill triumph Leadership offsets lack of age Several athletic teams are quite young this year. Just such a team is the girls' basketball team. Only three of the 12 members were juniors . However, inexperience has not hurt the team. '' Although the team was young, they were all good and equally skilled," commented Ms. Linda Adamski, coach .

There wasn't a single player who stood out. "Captain Beth Spizman, who was our point guard, may have been considered the quarterback of the team, but Jenny Munro , also, was very consistent," said Adamski.

The team's balance depended upon each individual's special skills and the leadership provided from

the juniors' previous experience. As Jenny Munro , sophomore, put it, "They (the juniors) helped us a lot because they knew what they were doing."

Being in the minority didn't prevent the juniors from enjoying the season.

According to Kim Wyllie , captain, "It was a lot of fun.

The team really got along

and worked together well."

It takes team work and cooperation to have a good team. This JV basketball team worked together to prove themselves worthy of a good season. Together with the leadership provided and the natural ability of the girls, the resulting season was a success.

Glancing to see where the hoop is while dribbling is an advantage in making two points. Beth Spizman proves this helps when she prepares to shoot.

Defense requires the ability to block high passes. Gail Rigatuso jumps while defending against Lincoln High .

Boy's gain sixth title Undefeated girls upset at state Looming at the state swim meet was the question, " Can Westside do it again?"

The answer was "yes" and the " it" was for the boys' swim team to qualify first in state.

This championship was the 16th in the last 18 years for Warrior swimmers.

The girls also did them selves proud placing runner-

up behind Lincoln Southeast.

Underclassmen appeared to set the trend for scoring points in the meet. "We had only one senior swimmer that scored," said Coach Doug Krecklow . A freshman, Linda Rosenberg, set the meets' only state record when she won the 200freestyle in 1:53.49 . Rosen-

Girls show motivation Swim team psyches-up for victory Striving female swimmers perpetuated the tradition quality as soons as they left the starting block. Despite lacking numbers, the girls' ·swimming team withheld their fight for the finish.

Enthusiasm was a prevailing element which aided victory . "We're young, and young people have a tendency to be more enthusiastic,"

said Coach Doug Krecklow.

A rigorous schedule of an hour and a half workout in the morning and afternoon, as well as weightlifting three days a week, indiciated the motivation that each swimmer had.

According to Krecklow, no worry was necessary concerning the fewer numbers, because the quality re-

mained . "We have less numbers, but so does everybody else; quality numbers is the key," he said.

Placing first in the Husker Invitational was where the quality paid off.

Success was due to a number of factors. For girls' swimming, support from their male counterparts provided a bond for both teams.

Decorated locker rooms and boxes filled with candy added the necessary "psychup." Another ability the team possessed was strength that carried over to other events. "We all have our own specialty, but we are all agile in other events," said Johnson.

194- Varsity Wrestling

Wrestlers shed pounds Weight loss becomes formality Food is a common word which most people use every day, however, there is one group of people who omit that word from their vocabulary once a year.

That group is the wrestling team. Wrestling season lasts 14 weeks, during which time the wrestlers have to cut weight. "It took me a month

to lose 43 pounds," said Tucker Magid, "After I lost the weight it was just a matter of eating one meal a day to keep my weight down ."

The wrestlers cut weight for many different reasons.

Terry Magid explained, " We lose weight to fill the 12 weight classes. Another reason is to drop to a lower

weight class and still be at your maximum ability." For Tucker Magid the reasons were a little different, "I had put on a lot of weight for fo otball that I had to lose for wrestling.''

The desire to lose weight is brought on by the wrestlers themselves. "I have never made a wrestler drop

to a weight," said Coach Lou Milani, "they do that on their own."

The weight loss must have done something for the team, for the Warriors have gone through the complete dual season with only one loss, which was against the Number 1 rated Columbus team.

Pain is a familiar word in wrestling as Mike Limas demonstrates the meaning of the word on his opponent.

Strength is demonstrated as Mike McClellan smashes his opponent's face into the mat.

JV Wrestling

Not all fun and games Hard work, discipline pay off "I want to at least take state as a senior," said Mark Quinn, sophomore, a member of the JV wrestling squad . Many sophomores look forward to succeeding their senior year. Thus, early in their wrestling careers, long-term goals are set to work towards.

Each year challenge matches determine the standing of each team mem-

ber. Those who participate in the sport the previous year usually hold one of five starting positions in the various weight classes. These starters challenge varsity members in competition for their places while other JV members challenge the starters.

However, these year-long competitions can't be won over night. Practices include

a strenuous workout of one and a half hours of continuous wrestling, running and weightlifting.

Short-term goals include, "making it through practice every night," said Quinn.

None of this includes the dieting that has members "losing five to 15 pounds to certify in a weight class, " coach Lou Miloni commented.

Combine all this with the daily pressures of school work and the end result is a determined, hard-working team . For the members of the JV wrestling team, the work and discipline have paid off in what can only be described as, "the thrill of victory."

Monday night basketball A sport for people of all sizes Basketball has long been thought of as a sport only for those over 6'2" and too skinny for football. With intramurals, however, things have definitely changed.

Now anyone who wants a little fun and recreation can enjoy a game of basketball at least once a week.

Intramural basketball is a growing sport. There are three leagues, e.ach consist-

ing of 12 teams. The teams are formed by a bunch of friends getting together and signing up to play. Keith Nagel, senior, said of his team "We played basketball together in grade school."

There are anywhere from four to seven players on a team. "You need four people to sign up on the roster to be able to play," explained Pete Owens, junior.

The games are generally played on Monday nights between 7:30 p.m. and 9 :30 p.m. A few teams get together and practice at other times during the week. "We play on Mondays, and practice on Wednesdays," stated Nagel.

The rules of intramural basketball are the same as general basketball rules, with a few exceptions. There

are two 15-minute halves, with a continuous running clock. lntramurals do have advantages over varsity basketball. For one thing, a player can always make the team. "It doesn't take as much time to play and practice intramurals as varsity basketball," commented Nagel. "It's really just for fun."

Fresh air to skits goodbye boredom For most students, school isn 't all lectures, notes and textbooks.

There is plenty of room for fun in many lesson plans.

Teachers realize that classes can get monotonous, and as Mr. Bill Nelson, head of the social studies department, said, " We like to do things that break up the boredom .

Many means are used to eliminate the boredom usually associated with education . For example, many classes get some fresh air by taking field trips to various places.

Mr. Dick Wilson took his

United States History class to Desoto Bend, and Mr. Paul Andreas took his Nebraska History class to Nebraska City, as he does every year . Government and Sociology classes also took field trips .

Another way teachers cope with monotony is through innovative presentations in large groups . The chemistry team of Mr. Ron Crampton, Mr. Louie Niemann, and Ms. Carolina Sylvestri is known for its members' unique large groups. They dress up and perform skits for their students often .

Rockets to rats goodbye boredom Physics teachers also use similar tactics in presenting large groups with skits, unusual slide shows, and an annual rocket show in the football stadium that illustrates Newton's first three laws.

The science department utilizes another method of teaching that is probably nOt so unique here, but is a useful learning device.

This method is lab work. This hands- on approach to learning involves numerous experiments and dissections.

Physiology, Zoology and Biology students dissect all types of creatures, including earthworms, sharks, and rats. Students learn the animals inside and out.

Megan McGowan , junior, commented on experiments done in Physics lab, "We have done many different things, like

spinning weights on turntables, rolling steel balls down ramps, and plotting the orbit of Mars. By doing these things, 'we can understand what we're learning better."

Another class that provides relief from boredom is Psychology. The subject is unique in itself, but the students participate in activities such as bringing treats to class under the safe name of "positive re-enforcement''.

With all these different activities going on in and out of classes, newcomers might be a bit anxious to get started on their first field trip, but as Mr. Bill Nelson, social studies chairman said, "We'd like to do more field trips, but the teachers whose classes will be missed will probably get upset and say we take their students out of the building too much."

One of the classes unique is television production . A T.V. student sits in the booth and monitors the program being produced .

SAT, ACT test impact haunts dubious victims \

If you stayed up late at night , studying and worrying about how you'll do on your ACT, SAT, or PSAT. You are not alone Many students do this also , wondering why they have to take these tests that bring so much misery ih to so many lives Mr . Dick Lundquist, head of the guidance department, said, "Universities want to have information about incoming stu dents." These tests are not mandatory , but most universities won 't accept students who haven't taken at least one of these tests .

The PSAT is basically

just a preliminary test for the SAT. " There is a difference between the ACT and the SAT," said Lundquist, " The ACT is based on math , science , English , and social studies, where the SAT is just verbal and math ."

Lundquist also said that Westside has ranked in the top 7 percent of high schools in the nation on the ACT and even higher on the SAT. Although these tests seem to have a great effect on college admissions, some students don't think they are very important.

Academic exchange adds academic freedom, choice Switching to Westside from a Japanese or Swiss school is bound to bring some changes in academic life. Ayako Sekiya and Peter Althaus both miss their home schools, but enjoy Westside's uniqueness.

Sekiya and Althaus don't have such a wide variety of classes at their other schools. "I was surprised to see so many classes," commented Sekiya.

Both students like Basic T.V. production best. Althaus enjoys it, because, "doing the production will help out in my future plan of being a film director and it's also a lot of fun."

Sekiya likes the unusual

class because she has no options like this in Japan.

Curriculums are standardized for both Sekiya and Althaus back home.

"We don't have much choice of what classes we are going to take. Most are compulsory subjects," said Sekiya.

Althaus' school also covers the basics, requiring five years of language, science, art, physical education, religion and math.

The two also enjoy free mods they have. "In Switzerland, we did go home for lunch, but it was a lot harder to go get help from a teacher, and we were in class all the time except for a 25 minute break,'' said Althaus.

Modular scheduling is dependent upon individual students and how adequately they handle their free time.

Most students believe that it gives them a chance to make their own decisions.

But as Heather Wilson put it, "modular scheduling allows us much more independence and teaches us responsibility.''

IMC's offer a variety

there is a quiet place for students to study during unscheduled time. The Instructional Material Centers (IMC) are where most students take advantage of their free time to do homework and get additional help from teachers.

The Social Studies IMC along with Math and English are usually most crowded.

Susie Noddle, sophomore, prefers the Social Studies IMC because there is a section where you can talk and visit with friends and a quiet section where you can do your homework peacefully.

Yet, other students prefe an IMC which is less crowd ed. "I go to the Business IM most often," said Kare Lightheart, senior, "becaus it's quiet and not many peo pie go there."

Each IMC has it's own se of rules. Recently, the Socia Studies and Math IMC's ac quired new rules which wer introduced to the student at the beginning of th school year. Most student agree that the rules are nee essary, but the punishmen is too strict." I think th rules are reasonable, be cause without them ther would be no order," Stacy McGuire, senior.

Chemistry lab may be difficult to understand at times. Mr. Niemann, Chemistry instructor, offers his assistance to students Mary Schimonitz and Diane Stebbins.

Helping students with their homework is a part of every teacher's job. Mrs. Joan Mactier checks over a student's project before it is handed in .

It's a rat's life. Mr. Larry Morrissey helps a physiology student by pointing out the major internal organs of a rat.

Representatives from colleges and the armed forces visit Westside often . Army recruiters try to persuade students to enlist.

Teaching isn't all grading, lecturing Miss Cynthia Vandecar

Mr. Don Kolterman

A star is born! Mr. Don Kolterman, English instructor, represents sheer success as both a teacher and a musical actor.

He was chosen as an outstanding secondary teacher by Mu Epsilon Nu, an educator's honorary.

Kolterman's second love is music. He is a member of "The Voices of Omaha," and was asked to audition for the "Der Meistersingers," the premiere classical performing group in the midwest.

Since March , 1981, Kolterman has played several roles in theater productions. He calls the Norton Theater his "theatrical home." He has been involved in "Mame," "Jesus Christ Superstar," and "Oliver."

For Kolterman, who knows what other performances may be in store?

Broadway, perhaps?

Faculty Features

Playing the banjo and guitar and folk singing are among the talents of Ms. Cynthia Vandecar, new English instructor. She also has a passion for old movies.

An avid traveler and animal lover, Vandecar admits, "I like to dabble in everything, I don't have just one or two hobbies."

She's lived in many different places throughout her life, but her favorite one of all is England .

She is finding the transition to Westside to be going smoothly, although she's more accustomed to working with younger children. She hopes to remain teaching and to someday visit the country of her dreams, Australia.

Mr . Bob Moscrey

Currently an aviation and biology teacher, Mr. Bob Moscrey's interest in his subjects wasn't just reserved for Westside students. Alth~ugh he's been here 17 years, he has also instructed in Omaha, Council Bluffs, and Ralston high schools.

In 1954 he enlisted in the Air Force, where he remained for the next three years. "I served right between the Korean and Vietnam Wars," said Moscrey, so he was never involved in warfare.

Moscrey now owns a 12 acre ranch outside city limits where he keeps his five thoroughbreds and two siding horses. As far as future plans, Moscrey states, "I'd like to get a good race horse and retire."

Mr . Ira Brodsky

Mr . Dick Wilslm

He may be a new face , but he certainly isn't new to the district. Mr . Dick Wilson , social studies instructor , taught at Arbor Heights Junior High for 15 years. He moved over to Westside because , " They came to me and asked me to go to the high school because of my extensive background in social studies ." Wilson has taken some courses in econom ics at Cambridge University in England and some vocational courses in Denmark.

Outside of school , Wilson likes to travel extensively . He has seen most of the United States and a great deal of Europe. He said , " I would like to take some students to Hawaii , Chicago , or some places like that. It would be nice to get to know the stu dents outside of school too ."

Wilson has started a newsletter concerning railroads . "About 25 states subscribe and there are more than 100 members ," he noted.

Some former students helped him start it and he hopes to get even more students interested in it.

Living with an aunt in Minneapolis after 17 years of growing up in Veracruz, Mexico was a big change for Mr. Ira Brodsky , Spanish instructor .

"School had become unbearable because of my father 's death and I was heading in the wrong direction. My aunt gave me good guidance," remarked Brodsky .

After high school, he attended Pueblo, New Mexico City College where he had intended to study public relations . He then majored in French at the University of Nebraska at Omaha .

He has traveled widely, but his favorite country is Spain, specifically the southern area .

He has enjoyed his ten years of teaching at Westside , and is convinced that Mexico is a much better place to visit than to live .

Mr . Harley Hard ison

The Bahamas, Florida Keys and Galveston Island are among the areas groups of Westside stu dents explore with Mr. Harley Hardison , who says , " Omaha is a nice place to be from ."

Hardison has a " thing" for hearses. He has had Mrs . Willo Boe three and plans to get another with the license A film making class turned Mrs. Willo Boe's plate Dameon . The van he life around . Before 1972, has now has plates readwhen she took the class ing, " Har Har.

In the television pro- " That seems appropriate duction classes she for me! " teaches, she tries to let her students get their creative juices flowing and emphasize imagination .

Boe commented , " We're striving for excellence ."

Her philosophy of life is, "All things come to those who will wait." Ironically, Boe made a film bearing this title, and it is definitely true in her case .

Academics- 217

he familiar commercial T slogan, " Homework ,

Homework does have some value

homework, give me a break!" is not heard around here as often as one might think. Although students may complain about having a lot of homework, most of them agree that the work they do is a valuable part of their academic success.

Janet McGillen, junior, said , " Homework is very valuable, for you can't learn just from going to classes."

Chris Gunderson, senior, agrees that homework is important, because it gives you a chance to put what you

learn to use.

While the basic values of homework may be agreed upon , the amount of homework that individual teachers assign is often varied .

Students feel that some teachers assign too much , while others may not give enough to develop a thorough understanding of a particular subject.

Some subjects do require a greater amount of work, varying with the level of difficulty . Math classes require the most work, with assignments usually every day.

"Homework is very valuable, because it helps when you are taking tests." -Dan Epperson, junior.

"Homework is valuable because in some classes, if you don't do it, you don't learn anything.' '-Missy Rips, sophomore.

"Homework is right. You can get along without it.'' Paul Carusi, senior.

"I think homework is very important and valuable because if you don't do it, you're not going to understand the class."-Traci Tesar,

It's not easy to make deadlines, but Rhonda Baker words hard on her assignments to get them in on time .

Doughnuts In homeroom are always a good way to start off the day. Cindy Suing takes advantage of the opportunity.

Teaching a French Ill class, Mrs. Chin has her students repeat what she says in a pronunciation drill.

When the work Is done, there is still cleaning up to do. Tim Martin scrapes off the pottery wheel after he completes a project.

The tests can help enormously for those who do well on them , while they can prove a hindrance for those students who receive average or below-average ratings on the tests.

"I don't think the tests should determine whether a student is accepted to a college or not,'' said Scott Dobry, senior.

Doing well on the ACT and SAT tests is basically up to each individual. There are preparatory classes to attend, although only about 65 percent of the students taking the test go to them . The tests can also be studied for if a student wants to and can spend

At the beginning of junior year, students must ~ecide on their plan of attack for the ACT and the SAT tests.

The tests are just as important junior year as they are senior year.

Jodi Johnson , junior , said, "These tests are very important to me .

They will determine whether or not I will receive a scholarship."

Well, it's up to you.

It's your future that's on the line. Make the right decisions about the tests and they will be well worth your time. 0
