OOF! Senior Brad Bernthal whac~ the ball back to his opponent. Brad lost this match avenged his title with a defeat against the same opponent at state. (p. Charlie Hanna) Careful! In mid-October the once orange main doors were painted spartan blue. Student council made a great effort for the color change and after 22 years it finally happened.(p. Stephanie Sch, neberger)

It's happened before ... hasn't it? Students transfer to East all the time, but how many transfer students have broken every gymnastic record ever set? Magazines were part of our everyday life, but how often is a new magazine born, let alone born to editors wearing togas and carrying a baby doll mascot? State volleyball champions have become a naturaloccurranceatEast, buthowmany of those championship teams had ever won the River City Classic, the Bellevue Invitational, and the LPS Invitational in the same season? Stranger things have happened. All of the above surprised and pleased us. Scott Barnes transferred here from Pennsylvania and broke every school gymnastics record, editors Brad Bernthal and Krista Hiser brought The Muse, a news magazine into being, and the volleyball team roared through the season with just a couple losses. "After the 20 year drought, let the reign begin." This was the motto of the boys' state

champion tennis team. In just his second year of year of coaching, Coach Hoham produced a boys championship team to match the championship the girls team won the previous spring. Change doesn't come any stranger than when it all happens at once. Minor changes over the years usually went unnoticed and were just considered strange happenings like UFO's. Out of the strange brew called coincidence came normality. Strolling down the glass hallway was a guy clad in faded Levi's, a rugby, smelling of Polo and wearing scuffed loafers, and a girl in low cut boots, Girbaud pants and an oversized cardigan. Speeding by was a boy with a large binder, several pens with papers trailing behind almost colliding with a young woman decked out in the latest leather outfit complemented with a concert T-shirt. The usual array of sports heroes arid their avid supporters in the blue and white skirts. Stranger than you think? No, these were everyday scenes in the hallways of East.

Hot and dry. Hotter and drier. Hottest and driest. The predictable weather reports droned on through one of Nebraska's most sizzling summers. But, despite the heat, East students still found time to travel, work, and relax. Hannah Hathcock, along with many East students, attended Wayne State Music Camp in Wayne, Nebraska. "I went for the music experience and it was a fun place to learn,., commented the sophomore. Young Life Camp, Student Counicl Camp, Cheerleading Camp, Church Camp and a variety of sports camps are examples of places where other East students were found. "The soccer camp I attended helped me improve my skills and my total game,., said junior Jenny Lee who spent a week at Premier Soccer Camp in Illinois. New York. Chicago, Texas, and Colorado were popular places to travel in the United States. Junior Charlie Larsen spent time learning to scuba dive in Key Largo, Florida. More adventerous students found their way to Europe and visited countries like France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, _England, and, Austria. Tyler Pearson spent three weeks in France ,vith the Lincoln Public Schools study tour. "The trip was enlightening and educational. It opened the door to a different culture and it gave me a new insight to the way other people live,., said Tyler. Other students spent many hours laboring through the summer heat. "It wasn't much fun getting up early almost every day, but it was worth the money," said senior Kerri Barnes who worked at Taco Inn. Overall, East students kept busy with various projects and activities throughout the summer. But, as this summer came quickly to an end, and the weather turned cooler and the days grew shorter, we found ourselves once again heaqing back to school. By Dawn Dymacek and Kindra Smith

Re a drop of golden sun. An annual summer event was the Singers party held at the end of August. Singers, a select choir of juniors and seniors, was directed by Jon Peterson. (p. Amy Kardell) Wet-n-Wild! Finding themselves in hot water, seniors Cathy Nelson and Deb Hunter take time-out to waterski at Branched Oak. Many · students found themselves heading for the water because of extreme heat this summer.(p. Kerri Barnes)


Kick! Instead of kicking back, juniors Jenny Lee and Heidi Monnich spent the summer kicking f01ward. They both spent time at soccer camps and competed in the Comhusker State Games.(p. Dawn Dymacek) Say Cheese! Trying to visit as many countries as possible in 10 days were seniors Kerri Barnes and Tisha White. One of their stops was Paris, France. (p. Todd Adams)


U

e is strange, and the student body definitely added color and ariety to any day. . . This may be so, but students found many other activities to fill the long days and nights away from school. Sports, p~es, dates, work, family, vacations and various other school events filled average days and nights. Some people had stranger ways of passing the time, however. "I like to lie face-down on my bed and wonder why it's so dark," said junior Matt Dantzler. Maybe this sounds familiar to you, but whether students decided to cruise "O", hang out at McDonalds, walk to Valentino's after a game or find a party or two, weekends were a major part of students' lives. Melanie Christenson, a sophomore, said, "My boyfriend and I usually go to a movie, and my friends and I like to go to McDonald's, or just cruise arqund." These were not strange things to do, unless there was a special occasion, such as Homecoming or Prom to attend. Also, work was a common way of passing the weekend hours. Some places students worked were Amigo's, Cooper Theatre, Half Price Store and numerous other locations around town. Junior John Lefler said that "having a job gives you a sense of responsibility and gets a lot of your priori'ties straight." Often, student life was heavily dependent on trends. Friends with strange hairstyles, ripping and patching your jeans, football sweatshirts ~and the lending and borrowing of various items of clothing and such frbm • friends, were making stranger things become more of trendy things. From school to sleep, from partying to purchasing, and from working to wishing for more time, student life was busy. After all, when it came to these students' lives, stranger things have happened!

A dream come true. Natalie Kuijvenhoven and Rad Dobson are thrilled with being crowned Homecoming King and Queen, as former King Sam Snyder stands by. Homecoming was a ideal time for seeing friends and supportive East alumni. (p. Nelda Hunt) May I have this dance?

Starry Skies "Hold on to the nights; Ho!d on to the memories," was the theme of the 1988 Homecoming Dance. Great anticipation was ignited with the pep rally on Friday during school. The gym was packed with excited students awaiting the anouncement of the homecoming candidates, which included: Brad Bernthal, Stefanie Seamen, Dan Lundak, Chtystal Heusman, Chad Sutko, LindaBobrowski, Rad Dobson, Natalie Kuijvenhoven, Tom Madden, and Amy Kardell. The following night was the Homecoming game against Fremont. Due to the suprisingly evenly matched teams, the stands were packed with students, parents, teachers and other East High supporters sitting on the edge of their seats. With every touchdown, the sky was encompassed with swirls of blue and white balloons, which could be purchased by the East High Booster club. The score was 14 to 10 with only a few moments left in the game, when the ball sailed into the arms ofa Fremont player in ourendzone, which lead to a touchdown, thus ending the hope of a Homecoming victory and leaving the score at a close, 14 to 17. An emotionally tired crowd sighed at the thought of the winning touchdown that almost was, and began to prepare themselves mentally for the dance to occur after the game. Once through the cafeteria

Close game fails to dampen this party doors, the students had no trouble shaking their gloom once they spotted the billows of crepe paper, balloons and tinsel; compliments of the Spirit Club headed and organized by chairperson, Angela Brage. " We got our theme from Ms. Walker who thought of the song , "Hold on to the Nights ; Hold on to the Memories." For decorations, we were at an officer's meeting and the five officers and Angela were brainstorming and came up with the idea of using stars and Just elaborated on the idea." explained Senior Mollie Perdew, president of Spirit Club. As 11:30 came, it was time for the big moment. A tear was seen in the eyes of Natalie Kuijvenhoven as she accepted the honor of being crowned the 1988 Homecoming queen; and Rad Dobson was elated to be voted king. "The whole weekend was so big for me that I felt it was all a dream and someone was going to .have to pinch me and wake me up Sunday night." exclaimed an overjoyed Natalie Kuijvenhoven. The night was finalized with a slow song, played by the band, "Bobby Curious" which was lead by the new King and Queen. Students left with a lot of memories as well as uplifted spirits.

Students make m e their own fun .

It's seventh period, Friday afternoon and five minutes until the fmal bell terminates another busy school week. Unfortunately, you still don't have plans for the weekend. This was a common picture among East High students. Many a student found himself hurridlythrowingtogethera weekend in the few moments after school, often resorting to a lot of routine places and favorite hangouts intead oft:Iyingnew places or ideas. Despite the obvious fact that this type of normality and conformity to old, ov~rused ideas hindered the branching out of a student into different atmospheres and among different people, this also proved to be a problem within the community. However, this didn't damper everyone's spirits. Some absolutely ingenious and creatively wonderful weekends were the result. Senior, Spencer Hilsabeck, gives advice for a fun weekend, "Go out to the airport and sit at the end of the runway and have planes go overyour head. It's kindof stupid, but it's fun." "How about going out to a lake and Just renting a boat or something?" asked Senior, Ashok Gupta. Many other students were found camping at Branched Oak and enjoying the natural wildlife. Some popular hangouts duringthe summer and into the school year were McDonald's, Mingles, and of course, parties around town. Students were found sitting on the hoods of their cars and

conversing in the parking lot across McDonald's and, though they may or not have been disturbing anything, they were loitering. A policeman became an expected addition to Friday and Saturday nightlife. His Job was to issue tickets to students who used the McDonald's for anything other than eating. Students were not pennitted to hang around the area unless they were purchasing something. Mingles was a bar converted to accomodate minors on Tuesday and Sunday nights. However, because it was a bar during ·the rest of the week, this establishment was required to take on a conciderable amount of responsibility as far as not allowin·g any consumption of alcohol by the minors. Mingles and other clubs · like it often ran into trouble when their facilities were misused and the law had to shut them down as a threat to the legal drinking age. Obviously, parties were no better in the abuse of illegal suqstances, and once again students were left with no place to go. Last, but certainly not least, Alan Mota described an awesome weekend as this, "Brian Sink and I get together sometimes and sing some songs from the Nilan's." As a result of the enforcement of weekend rituals, students spent more time enjoying the outdoors and expanding on their appreciation for the arts. By Kristen Stolley

'Tm a little teapot, short and stout..." were the opening words of the fall play, September 28, 29 and 30th . "And they danced real slow in Jackson" was the story of Elizabeth Willow, played by senior Kristen Stolley. The story was of a young girl growing up in the small town of Jackson, Indiana. Being confined to a wheelchair as a result of cerebral palsy, she experienced many hostile reactions from the townspeople, ranging from fear of the unknown handicap to prejudice hatred. The end result of •these bitterfeelings was a very broken down, rejected person. Elizabeth shut herself off from society and by the time she reached the age of 24, she was perfectly isolated up in her own bedroom, speaking to no one. "I'm always looking for good characters and something that's a challange to the students. The subject matter was meaningful to the school and the cast worked well together. The sad ending had

Hip Hop What? Do the Polka? Many daughters at East High foun.d this question on the tips of their tounges as the old records rolled out at the father /daughterdance. Though Natalie Kuijvenhoven and her father John did not find that question at all in their mind as they danced their way to a victory, winning the dance contest. "I don't usually have the opportunity to spend that much time with my dad. It was a fun evening!" Even though Natalie and her father won the dance contest Danille Oliver and her father were not too far behind in the race as they whirled their way across the dance floor. The fathers had a chance to teach their daughters how to dance to the famous tunes that were remembered as they were teenagers, but the fathers did not get away with just teaching their daughters how to dance. The daughters had something

else in mind! It was time that the fathers learned a few stepps that are done in the 80's. Most of the fathers were willing to attempt the dances that their daughters were anxiously willing to teach. "I had a great time learning how to dance the songs of the '80's," said one father. The smiles and laughter were overwhehning that , night. It was obvious that there was lots of happy people wanting to spend this special time with theirfatherordaughter. The night came to a great ending as people danced to the last slow song, keeping in mind of this special evening they had. As the last song ended the representative from KLDZ added "We had more fun watching the fathers aod daughters laugh and smile then we did playing the records." By Dawn Brown

Spirit? The crowd was cheer- ;..... ing . the hands were clapping,

and the feet were tapping. Excitement was everywhere in the gym as Doc announced there was a tie. The excitement came to a halt when eveiyone realized that no one had won. It was a tie between the sophomores and the seniors at the score of 399. The week of spirit rtvalty started with challenges between the sophomores and the seniors. The spirit week skits all had their own twist. Who Framed Martin Spartan (take off from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit") entailed elaborate CO$tumes and scenety which displayed the sophomore's dedication to "decrown" the seniors. Andrew Louden was kept busy acting as Martin Spartan trying to . discover who stole the spirit from East. As the clock ticked on, the juniors put their skit into action. Spartwins, based on the movie "Twins", was portrayed by Alan Mota and Rob Zatechka. . . Finally, it was time for the undefeated seniors. Their skit "Docahue" (take off from"Donahue") had quite a varity of guests such as Mr. Stoehr(Travts Schnekloth), Anne Forch(Heather Gray),

Amy Peirce, Josh Gardner(Erin Gardner). Dave Smith(Michelle Smith), a psychic(KristaHiser).

and Dan Higgins as Docahue. The night of hallway decorations had the halls humming with bustling bodies.

Participants find out that "clicks" of kids aren't always the way you think they are. The teams that worked their way to the top were the

amily is a special thing. It is special because each individual adds very important part to it; themselves. Each person's insight and deas make up a unique recipe for the family. Families share their thoughts and each individual can be themselves. They Cc;ll"e about and learn from each~other, go places, see things, and generally enjoy being the unit that they are. In some way, many organizations at East were large families, and they showed students many new and exciting things. They allowed students to participate in an open friendly manner, and learn things about themselves and each other. They, like students, came in all shapes and sizes. Clubs, like Spirit Club, were very q.evoted to the promotion of school spirit, and they often led to greater things such as Cheerleading and Apollonaires. Also, foreign language clubs were very popular with students. Trips, parties, and charitable events were only a_few of the many things French, German, and Spanish Clubs did. Some of these activities were also developed by another vital organization that some say East could not do without; Student Council. "Student Council is one of the most worthwhile things I'm involved in," stated junior Missy Davis. One of the most important ideas of these organizations was to promote school spirit and unity. "I think -East's really improving in enthusiasm and spirit when it comes to games and other athletic events and especially Spirit Week, but in everyday behavior, like in the halls, we · really rieed some work," said reserve cheerleader Julie Jahde. Cheerleading was one of the most spirit-oriented organizations at East. But whether students were new to East or they had been here since seventh grade, it was a guarantee that every individual would be made to feel like "one of the gang" in which ever organization they joined. "I really like drama club because the people made me feel welcome," said Cathy Steinegger. There were no strangers, only one big family.

Apollonaires competed with the band and performed at UNL basketball games. They also took part in a kick-athon for March of Dimes in which they kicked for three minutes straight for pledges.

T

hroughout the year the Athletic Department showed newcomrs, boosters, and skeptics alike, that excellence was not strange r new to East with three state titles in fall sports alone. With the year kicking off to a good start, Varsity Football was a little different from past years, with no definite reserve team. The teams were combined for varsity games, and then some Junior Varsity and Sophomore players were divided for Reserve Football games. This season was a "Learning experience," according to Rob Zatechka. "It was also disappointing because we had such high hopes," said Kent Lambert. This stranger than usual· season ended with a 3-6 record. Volleyball's excellent season finished with the ultimate icing-onthe-cake; a state championship. After a disturbingly close loss to Northeast at Districts, the Spartans rallied to beat Northeast in straight sets at State, and then they went on to ensure the championship by downing Grand Island in the finals. After a twenty year 'drought' the 'reign' really began for the Boys Varsity Tennis Team. After only one dual· loss to Southeast, the boys broke with tradition and won the State Championship, duplicating the girls first win last year. "Coach knows what he's doing 85 per cent of the time, but the other 15 per cent, he's lost," said senior Spencer Hilsabeck of Coach Jeff Hoham. Girl's Golf was not even slightly under par. They had an excellent season, resulting in an individual state finalist, Kim Lefler. State champs were obVIously not strange to East, with the Boy's Gymnastics team also bringing home the gold. "Everyone thinks that it's really easy, but gymnastics takes a lot of hard work and dedication to be good. The boys worked hard, and they deserved everything they got," said Girls Gymnastic team member, Anya Carlisle. . Even though some sports did not make it to state, or got there and . = were defeated, the power of the mighty Spartans conquered all. The teams' unity, support, and feeling of being needed was important to every team member. Individuals all, and some were strange, but after the Spartan teams united, not so strange things happened.

Tight Situations What was meant to be a year of hope instead ended up being an educational lesson. New wrestling coach Bob Fehrs had a big battle and a small army of Spartans going into the season. The scarring 1-11 record made things a little blue for .the Spartans, but they brightened things up by placing sixth in the Greater Nebraska dual with 77 t~tal points. In addition the Spartans fought back and settled in seventh place with 74.5 points in districts. B.J. Dowding, Greg Essink.

height of wrestling is winning." Before a match wrestler Chad Sutko said he thinks about "Ripping his opponent's head off', while B.J. thought, "My opponent won't last six minutes with me." "Mental toughness is wrestling," says Sutko, "and with that I challenge myself to do the best I can do." B.J. describes wrestling as being an "individual sport, you're all alone ...

ust as the last mountain of Algebra disappeared and the novel was finally read, you realized that there was still Chemistry to be done. Sound familiar? Students were no strangers to hard • work, and somehow a rigorous cerebral workout fitted in as an important part of each day. Helping this along was an excellent academic program set forth by East's talented faculty. Swearing by the new Lincoln Public School theme "School's the Place to Be", teachers never failed to enthrall, involve, or keep students busy with something new to learn, just when they thought they knew it all. "Never trust someone with a gradebook in their hand," stated junior Eric Reece. Nevertheless, there was the constant pressure of grades, parents, and careeres to think about. "No grades, no college" was a well used and well headed expression, convincing students to. take Advanced Placement and accelerated or specialty courses. To help students decide on careers or to point them in the right direction, academic clubs, like DECA and Business Club, were formed. "Business Club does a lot of community activities. Mrs. Trumble makes it really fun," said Kindra Smith. Membership in National Honor Society also was an extra bonus for good grades, as well as appearance on the Honor Roll. Academics meant not only having your nose in a book for seven periods a day, but it also meant Singers, Chamber Choir, Swing Choir, • Barid, Orchestra, Speech and Debate, Yearbook, Oracle, and Muse. No matter which classes a student took, required or elective, there was a perfect class for everyone to show their individual talents. Students had the will to succeed, and they knew that hard work was the key to this. The Spartans were advancing more and more, and they were preparing themselves for that big, strange world outside the halls of East.

Harmonies mix ■

Singers .and swing choir sway to their own music When you think of East High many things come to mind, students, academics,intramurals, sports, and of course Singers. With 7 4 extremely talented, diverse people it does seem a bit unforgetable. East Singers met every daydurtng a fifth period and practiced for contest and performances. That's not including all the after-school hours spent practicing for such eagerly anticipated events like the fall musical and the Expressions concert held in spring. But Singers was not just a group that worked all the time. They were a group offriends that looked foiward to such things as the infamous ski trip. When asked what was the highlight of Singers, senior Ryan Sedlacek's only reply was, "ski trip ... But junior A]an Mota replied, "Expressions is the highlight for me. Though most of the Singers interviewed disagreed on the year's highlights, all agreed that they gave and received such things as

happiness, individuality and maturity. But you can't think of Singers without recalling Swing Choir. It's a select group of juniors and seniors that try out each spring of the previous school year. They met first period every day and practiced for the four competitions that they had. "I became more confident and outgoing," commented two-year member Missy Caldwell. Obviously the group became tight throughout the year and gave each other the support each needed. "Everyone works as one unit. You'renolongeranindividual. Everyone's equal and important to one another, .. replied Matt Amack. The unique talents and dedication of the individuals in each of these groups helped to keep each group's magnificent long standing reputations. These individuals gave that little extra that set the 88-89 year apart from any other.

Talent takes the cake Jazz band and orchestra come together with style A toot emerges from a French horn, a note dances out of a flute, a sax wails away and the piano player's fingers dance over the ivory keys. The first two descriptions don't seem to fit to well with the last two descriptions, yet ifyou had walked .down senior hall •by the music rooms during third period you would have heard strands of Mozart and Bachin the air. And if you listened closely you could pick out the sounds of the French horn and flute. Yet if you happened to walk by the exact same place during sixth period you heard that piano and saxophone knocking out ajazzy tune.

During third period, orchestra prac~iced for concert tours and All City Orchestra Night. Jazz band met sixth period and practiced for concerts, contests, and elementruy school performances. ·Both groups had a few things in common, though.

It's a learning experience for everyone." Junior orchestra member Jay Hoffman said, ..Mr. Whitman is the finest the state has."

Because of their instruction both bands seemed to have done exceedingly well. Senior orchestra • member Dan Higgins said, "The caliber of our orchestra here at East is really high. It gives us an option to play pieces you wouldn't play at other high schools." \ Senior jazz band member Tyler Pearson said, ..

New Competiton Two sources of news at East "It's the baby MUSE!" The state championship magazine is here. It was the beginning of the first high school literacy magazine in the state. These proclimations could be found all around East High on posters whenever a new issue of the Muse was going to come out. The staff met everyday during fifth period and planned its next issue. Senior staff member Tarilyn Oschner said, "It's really good. Everyone worked well together and we produced a good magazine." The goal of the magazine was to publish more in depth articles than those in the yearbook, and to be more human interest

oriented than the Oracle. Supervisor Jim Schaffer responded, 'Tm really pleased with the class, they're independent." Well it must have worked- because the Muse was no stranger at East!!! But the least of the strangest was the Oracle. The staff managed to make it a bi-weekly publication with the help of added computers. In one issue of the paper, the flag even carried the statement "Published with Pride." But even with Pride, there was a few side effects. Assistant Editor Heather Anderson said, "Somethimes when we came close to a deadline we would stay till five o'clock to finish laying the paper out. It could cause a lot of stress

but when I left I felt as if I had accomplished something. It was a good kind of stress." The staff met everyday during 3rd hour to brainstorm new ideas, lay-out stories, and print up pictures. Staff reporter · Heather Gray said, "I feel we've had a real talented group of people on the staff and the paper is the best that it's ever been." Whether it be. magazine or newspaper both groups made sure that the students at East high were no strangers to what was happening around them. By Ling Faith and Theresa Bolton


Be Loud! If you can't be eloquent Road trips and a lot of stress. Doesn't •sound very good does it? In fact it sounds a lot like road adventures with the family. What it.. s really describing is the speech and debate teams. Speech and debate seem to be the same, but both are really very different. , Speech can be divided into two catagortes. They are speaking and dramatic interpretation. Speaking can then be divided down into three specific categories: informational. extemperous. and oratory. "Speaking seems to rely more on your speaking and writing abilities." said senior speech team member. Lynn Lu. Dramatic interpretation is taking a specific topic and editing it to coincide with you ·re

interpretation of the subject. There are also two forms of debate. They are policy debate and L.D. debate. In policy debate. two people work together to research a specific topic to present an arguement. In L.D. debate the competition is one to one. Debate has competed all over the state. twice in Iowa and once in South Dakota. Millard North and Omaha Westside seemed to be their biggest rivals. "But all of our competitions were hard." respondedjunior debater. Heather Fox. Yet speech thought their greatest win was against Creighton Prep. Debate has also seen a new change in coaches.

It's late and the books are piled high around you: Calculus, Physics and AP. Literature. You glance at the clock on your desk. It's 12: 15 and you still have an eight page paper to write . . . Does it all seem worth it? To some students it certainly did, and especially by the time they were seniors. Natlonal Honor Society member Amy Peirce said, "As a junior it became a goal to make Natlonal Honor Society. The underclassmen seem to have respect for your three years of academic achievement."

And this year a new incentive was added: the academic.letter. To be eligible for an academic letter, you had to earn 25 credit hours of ones for two. consecutive semesters . A new feature that helped welcome members to National Honor Society wa~ the blue and gold banner that adorned the NHS meetings. But NHS wasn't just recognition of grades and a new banner. ''The most important thing we . do for the community ts the annual blood drive in the spring," explained

Kerri Lovitt.

f people are strange, as the song says, then East students were as unique and off-the-wall as they come. . This was shown throughout the year in many ways. From the Soviet Union to Clocktower, s_tudents were different and individual, and usually quite happy to "do' their own thing", but the school unity could not be ignored. "East's people are a lot more down to earth and individual than the people at my old schoot" said transfer student Steph Pennington. A casual strqll down any hall at any giveh time would, to the unsuspecting visitor, be quite a strange yet educational experience. Noticing the diverse people who made up the student body, calling out to friends, running to class, or blocking the hallway to pick up a flurry of loose papers were all ways to observe East. The Junior /Senior High situation also added variety, with grades 7 -12 all residing in the same building. On the first day of school seventh graders were scared to death that some "evil" upperclassman would beat them up. New sophomores from various junior highs felt somewhat the same in a strange .new school. But most of alt the seniors had the throne and the red carpet. After all their years of high _s choot they had finally attained "seniority" and they were content to "rule the school". Most were planning their entries into the big, strange world outside of school while everyone else was planning what to wear tomorrow. "East is generally a poor example of the outside world, so rm looking forward to graduating. But rm sad because I like my mom and my dad and my dog a lot," noted an undecided Krista Hiser. Even though priorities were different, and some needs were gr~~ter than others, the sense of unity that remained bonded the student· body with a common goal; to be the best that they could be. Stranger things were happening, but people added that little extra effort each day to make the student body as unique as each person in it. Kerri Lovitt summed it up best when she said, "Inside jokes, going out to lunch, and just having that constant flow of knowing with my friends really made me feel needed and special."

In 3 D: Dave, Dan, and Duke

Senior Class Officers help class "Rock the House" It's not every year that the names of the class officers begin with the same letter. Even stranger is that this year's letter "d" can be used to describe the daring, dynamic, and deliriously deluxe senior class officers: Dave Henrichs, Dan Lundak, and Duke Daehling (Double-D}. They accepted the task of delivering the seniors to a decisive sweep of delight in the defeat of the underclasses. But they faced defiance in each hallway. But before the senior class departed, deep-rooted unification decorated senior faces when the 3-D's were deemed "Decent ... A lot of people didn't know what the typical class officer did.

The class officers were in charge of arranging the Senior Class gift to the school. Ideas included a possible continuation of last years freeze plaster sculptures. As Duke put it, "Adding to the Acropolis of East." All three of the class officers shared the one common goal of wanting to see their class unified. Creating. a good feeling within the senior class was not a difficult assignment. "Hellish," was all class president Dave Henrichs could say about this year's senior class. The class came into the spirit week competition with two wins under their belt and were looking to capture the triple crown. "We rock the house," said class vice-president Dan Lundak.

Beauty + More = Junior Miss

Kuijvenhoven named Lincoln's Junior Miss When theJuniorMissprogram is mentioned, most people scoff and say, "That's just another beauty pageant." Jenny Allamby, one of East's four participants said, "People say that. That's what I thought, until I was in it, but the program isn't a beauty contest." Junior Miss is a nationwide scholarship competition for high school senior girls. There is no fee to enter the program, and each participant received several free samples, passes for parents, and coupons to ·give _to friends. Some contests require participants to pay $300 or more, to be in the pageant. The Junior Miss program is "not just people going around to make money," says Natalie Kuijvenhoven. Contestants are judged on scholastic achieve-

"It's scary!" says Natalie Kuijvenhoven, Lincoln's 1988 Junior Miss, "They reallytestyou to figure outhowmuch you know." . Four East students participated, while three took honors in the program. Allamby won the ·physical fitness award, Ling Faith was second runner-up, and Kutjvenhoven won the poise and appearance category en route to the Junior Miss title. Ellen Canney was also a contestant. Natalie succeeds 1988 graduate Tish Gade. • Ling expressed suprise at her accomplishment as she didn't win any divisions. "I felt stupid during the beauty part, even awkward and clutzy. I also felt strange being the only person doing a monologue." Most people sing or dance. For the state • contest in February, Natalie will face stiff competition from Omaha, which has had the Nebraska winner for three years running. Natalie said, "If I would have known I had a chance at winning, I probably would have been so nervous that I would not have performed the way I did." By Kim Olson

Politics, violin, and ballet

Schuldt far from schizophrenic in endeavors When students are interested ingovemment, theycanleammore by attending the Bereuter Institute, as seniors. But, one unique junior attended. In addition to an interest in politics, Megan Schuldt plays the violin in its classical form, and ballet. The Institute deals with governmental affairs, and is sponsored by Congressman Douglas Bereuter. Mrs. Schuldt said that Megan's interest was sparked by "an interest in her country and when a relative hosted two exchange students." But there is more to Megan's life than politics. Megan began playing violin ten years ago. Her first lessons began after hearing a neighbor give a recital. Megan decided, as a six year-old, that violin was for her. Now the Nebraska Music Educators Association has placed her in the top ten of tenth and eleventh grade violinists.

"[Playing the violin] gives you a self-satifying feeling even though it is hard work and practice." Megan's dance interests suffered when conflicts arose with violin lessons, and the eight years of training stopped. After dancing in the Nutcracker at the Lincoln Community Playhouse for three years, Megan chose the violin. Mrs. Schuldt speculates that Megan stuck with the violin because "her teacher [Dr. Robert Emile] was patient." Orchestra director Del Whitman says that Megan, "is very professional in her approach to the instrument yet keeps an enthusiam that makes it fun to perform." What makes violin so enjoyable in additon to being self-satisfying? "When you are mad, you can just play your violin. It helps you relax." by Michelle Dickey

Not big enough for football

Dymacek better suited for indoor soccer "Kind of like ice hockey but on artificial turf... indoor soccer is a fastpaced game that can only be played in Omaha as Lincoln does not have a indoor soccer facility. Players like Dana Dymacek must travel to the Indoor Soccer and Tennis Club. Dana started playing in the frrst grade and excelled enough to catch the eye of Coach Linda Wilson. representative of the Capitol Soccer Associtation. He joined her team and continued to play earning a spot on the new City Select Team. along with East students Jon Edzards (sophomore). Todd Molvar (senior). and Jon Eisenbraun Ounior). Dymacek choose indoor soccer to help him "keep in shape for outdoor soccer." Indoor is quick moving and more difficult as the walls restrain play. It has taught him the strong fundamentals needed to play at the high school level. East soccer coach Ray Baeta said. "Dana is an outstanding soccer player. In our two years of play. he has contributed a lot to the team. He·s a team player. he·s not a selfish individual." "East says 'win.· there is nothing else. Ifs just like basketball or football ... said Dymacek. This competitive spirit may help him earn a scholarship at a Division I school like UCIA. Duke. Clemson. orSMU. These are consistent soccer schools just "like Nebraska is in football." Soccer in general may be considered a violent sport. just like football. In a heated game. Dana kicked as hard as he could toward the ball. missed and hit another player's leg. "I broke his leg and 3 of my toes. Coach Harlan Milder thinks Tm evil .... ""tte·s really vicious. He tries to inflict pain. Dana makes up for his size by being very aggressive." says

Select Team member Molvar. During the winter indoor season. Dana broke his fifth proximal metatarsal (the bone above his little toe in his foot) and wore a wooden shoe. He was able to continue playing later in the winter season. and is scheduled to play outdoor soccer for East in the spring. by Kim Olson

From Battle emerges recording contract

Never underestimate the power of Persuasion Born to be wild? Feeling like Jumpin' JackFlash?Thenyou, too (or U2), could be on the same wavelength as Kevin Pond, guitarist or John Lefler, drummer of the band the Persuasion. This dynamic duo formed their band in ninth grade, along with an original lineup of T.J. Hudson and Tyler Pearson. "This was very shortlived," explained Pond. The band's first performance was at a friend's party in ninth grade. "We knew about ten songs and just played them over and over; it was so stupid!" reminisces Pond. This was back when the band was no persuasion at all. They called themselves the Shades. But after an intense brainstorming session the Shades became Persuasion. Not only did the name change, membership did too. These days the lineup of Persuasion consists of John, Kevin, Jim Coder, Dave Hinrichs, and occasional guest vocals from Alan Mota. Future plans include recording some original material over the summer. The band realizes the inl-

portance of promotion, and intend to step up advertising in the months preceeding their recording. Said Lefler, "I want my friends to tum on M1V and say 'wow' there's John." Dedication is also an important factor of success, said Lefler. "I'm definitely dedicated to the band. Without the band, I'd be pretty lost. The guys in the band are the most fun people to be with. And some very strange things have happened when we've played together." Such as? "When we were setting up during last years Promotion ceremony we were doing a sound check. When Kevin plugged in his amp, every·high pitched noise imaginable came screaming out." At times it can be hazardous to your hearing, but the guys do it because they find all theirworkand time pay off. "I was tired of playing alone," remarked Pond. So he and John started getting together for "jam sessions," and pretty soon a band was born. by Rachel Sibraa

Shades of Persuasion, band members John Lefler, Jim Coder, Kevin Pond, and Dave Hinrichs have big plans for the future. With a recording contract and a little publicity they have the power to persuade. (p. John Lefler Sr.)

Move 'em out. · Rawhide?

Ali Higgins has true grit as English rider Do you thinkthatridingahorse is as easy as jumping up into the saddle and riding off into the sunset just like John Wayne? Leaming to ride a horse is easier said than done according to sophomore Ali Higgins. Ali has been riding horses since eighth grade but her interest in riding began when she was involved in Girl Scouts. 'Tve been riding English for about three years," says Ali. Now she and her horse Leo are involved in Ponyclub where she and Leo train for competition.

English riding is different than "regular" horse riding, explains senior horse enthusiast Kindra Smith. "The purpose between the two forms is different. English is a more classical form of riding whereas Western is a more utilitarian, ranch-hand, type of riding. English is more natural for the horse." "I've ridden in the county fair and three schooling shows," _proudly states Ali. During her training seasons, she and Leo practice jumping and dressage. What is dressage, you ask? Dressage is when the horse and rider work together in order to make the horse look like it's dancing. These together create a well-timed and _perfected show. "It's alot of work," says Higgins. One important factor in training, besides the horse and rider. is the trainer. Says trainer Diann Shoen, "On the training level of shows, the horse and rider demonstrate trotting walking, and cantering." Ali feels that having a good instructor makes riding "easier and more enjoyable because (the trainer) can tell that you did something wrong without having to guess." by Michelle Dickey Up, up, and away! Ali Higgins and her horse Leo execute a meticulously practiced jump over a stack of logs. In competition, the logs and fences are usually higher and this makes the jump more difficult. (p.

uccess happens in many ways. Various clubs and organizations set new goals, new clubs were created, sports scored high, attendance was up, and the academic achievers were at it again. Under the academic category, several goals were reached. The 7th grade math team took second place at a tournament in Omaha. The 8th grade team finished first and the 9th grade team took second place. Spartan Singers performed at many places including the Knoll's, Gramercy Hill, the Cel)trum, Atrium, Cotner Center,~and the Country Club of Lincoln. According to Shannon Dobson, "It's better to sing for old people. They enjoy it more." Sports was a happening area for students. The 9th grade cross country team placed second in the city tournament. The varsity volleyball team wrapped up the season with a 5-5 record. The reserve volleyball team did even better finishing with a 7-3 record. Football did have some strange things happen to them: but they did accomplish a lot. For example, they defeated two unbeaten teams, Southeast and Lincoln High. Basketb~l was another plus for the 9th grade this year. Three freshmen made senior high teams, Eric Stokes, Jenny Benson, and . Stephanie Schroetlin. Ann Squire was another rising star. She made the senior high varsity golf team, and fmished 7th at the Spartan Invitational. "This year was a lot of fun." said Ann, "Next year we'll really start playing to win because we'll have a real competitive team." Junior Achievement (JA) also received good reviews. Scott Peterson, who got his first taste of the business world, said, " The best thing about JA was payday." New clubs were also formed, such as the Young Democrats and the , Young Republicans. These clubs discussed current political issues and raised funds. New teachers also happened upon the scene. Maureen Harlander, who teaches speech, drama, and debate, and Mike Baker, who teaches two 9th grade government classes, were two strange faces that became familiar to us by May. '88-'89 has been successful in many ways. Some ways stranger than others. Nevertheless, student success has come to East Junior High.

The students also went out of their way to write stories and take pictures of all kinds of students doing special things or just doing their own thing. "Journalism is a good way for students to express their opinion, and it's just a lot of fun," explained Tyler Crook. In journalism students learn how to take good pictures in the correct way, and learn how to develop them. They also learn how a real newspaper is printed and how to draw the layouts. This is good practice if students wish to work on a publication in high school. · By Gretchen Oliphant and Lori Daniels

Music groups pick up the beat played senior high music. One East High teacher said he felt this band is ranked fourth or fifth in all the bands of Lincoln, including senior high. Trumpet player Mary Peterson said "Despite the fact we do get off task a little, the band did really well at the first concert and hopefully we will keep improving throughout the year." Orchestra was a group of 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students that met during seventh period everyday for rehearsal. Some days sections of the orchestra were able to sign out and go home or to the cafeteria for study hall. These sectionals were used to have individual work done within the sections, or to focus on main points in music pieces. The orchestra performed many times during the year. Megan Hessee, a member of Orchestra, when asked how the orchestra was this year said, "Not as good as usual, but we are improving rapidly." Symphonic Band met during sixth period, although, like orchestra, they too were able to have sectionals to work on parts of a particular piece of music. Shawn Rife, a member of Symphonic Band, said the band is an "enjoyous experience enjoyed by many!" Shawn would like to be in Stage Band, or Marching Band, although he would like to also play football which would conflict with his being in Marching Band.

This was one of their manyu successful By Shari Belschner and Rachel Veld.er

Many different music groups combined to make East an exciting place to sing and play. A few of the performing groups were the Spartan Singers, Select Choir, and the instrumental groups. Spartan Singers was a group of 16 eighth and ninth grade students, with equal numbers of boys and girls. They got together fifth period each day to practice and choreograph the performances. Amber Lisee, a ninth grade member, said that Spartan Singers was fun because they can be "independent in choreographing without a director." Other members included: JeffKadavy, Andy Wickless, Bill Whitney, Nathan Bieck, Dave Krueger, David Wildman, Mike Merit, James Wilcott, Angie Bower, Addie Reed, Carrie Jahde, Shannon Dobson, Erin-Ann Scott, Brittany Anderson, and Elizabeth Cognard. Select Choir was another singing group which didn't do as much performing. Select Choir was first period every day with 52 members. There were many instrumental groups also . .

Hard work makes great play "She worked us hard and the rehearsals went for so long, but it really paid off. It was the best!" said Shawn Peirce of his director, Sarah Pate and the junior high plays. "Tile Long Christmas Dinner". "Bernice Bobs Her Hair". "P is for Perfect", and "FourLittleWords"were the four short plays performed by the junior high on February 2 and 3. All four plays had student directors: Dan Higgins, Zandra Brown, Heather Gray, Carrie Kline, and Sarah Pate. all seniors. "Scotty (Mrs. Scott) just asked if anyone wanted to direct a junior high play. It sounded great. and I've wanted to direct since junior high, so I went for it!" said Sarah Pate, a senior, who co-directed the play "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" with another senior, Carrie Kline. "It was very frustrating at times," said Pate, "and there were times when I just wanted to throw in the towel, but by the end they (the cast) really wanted to work, and it all came together. The best part was getting to know everyone." Playing character Jim Strain, a country club dancer, was a challenge for Shawn Peirce. a ninth grader. "You really have to learn to work with people.

Pop 'Em Up! Spike It Down! That was the battle cry for the freshman varsity and resetve volleyball teams. Most of the girls thought that volleyball was a good sport because it created a lot of team unity and was great practice for girls who want to try out for volleyball in high school. Mrs. Herrmann was the new varsity freshman volleyball coach this year. !he year was not as good as I thought it could have been, " she said, "but we did make some strides ... The varsity team had a record of 55. The resetves had a slightly better year. finishing the season with a 7 -3 record. They were coached by Chris Cords. In practice the girls }VOrked on various skills, such as serving, setting and spiking.

Cross country team places 2nd The ninth grade cross country team competed against eight other junior highs in the city meet this year. Some of the boys on the team were Andy Wickless, Matt Skretta, Aarol} . Stover, Chris Holland, Andy Krause, Matt Frederick and Matt Adams. The team earned an impressive second place in the city tournament on October 8. The coach of the team was Mr. Scott Buckner, an American Civics teacher at Irving Junior High and the husband of East's Mrs. Buckner. Matt Adams was the team's pace runner, averaging a fourth place finish in the meets at Interstate Park each week. "I feel I tried my best, .. Adams said. "We worked well as a team." The next fastest team member was Matt Skretta who had an average of seventh place with Wickless, Stover and Krause close behind, finishing out the top ten.

The three heavyweight coaches incldued head coach Tim Lambert. offensive and defensive coo_rdinator Coach Baker. and receivers and defensive backs coach Dieterding. The captains on the team included quarterback and defensive back David Swason from culler, offensive and defensive lineman Trevor Pearson from East. fullback and linebacker Chris Creel from East. and halfback and safety Eric Stokes, also from East. The team got off to a disappointed start at the hands of Lincoln high. but rebounded the next week against a tough Southeast team and came away with a dramatic 8-6 win. Then they took on a tough but winless Northeast team and feel 6-0. In the second half of the season, they played the same three teams over again. First. they beat the top team in the league, previously unbeaten Lincoln High, but then suffered a let down and lost their last two games away from haem to Southeast and Northeast.

The lightweight football team had a rough and injury-plagued season. They finished the season at a dismal 0-6, "OUCH". The team was mainly lead by running backs Scott Martin and Brian Miller. both from East. Late in the season Miller had to take over the duties of quarterback because the starting quarterbackJohn Grenemier, from Culler was out with an injury. With Miller at quarterback the team excelled. Although they did not win a game, they started having more fun and the scores of the games became closer. The team's coaches were head Coach Smith, and assistant Coach Dave Clare.

Missed it by that ~uch Dan Eichorn. Greg Kassebaum, Matt Siemsen and Mike Wiggins were the members of the 9th grade golf team. The team practiced from 3:155:00 on weekdays four times a week at the Ager Junior golf course and once a week at Mahoney. The coach of the team was Mr. Wolfe from Pound Jr. High School. The team was considered non-competitive and anyone could join. The team competed in two individual tournaments over a four-day period. In the tournament Kassebaum finished second.just one stroke off the leader. and Eichorn finished third, just two strokes off the leader. When asked why he went out for the team. Eichorn said. "It's a lot of free golf." By Mark Jones


Council shows its 'can do' spirit "Student council was best this year, but that's probably because I was in ninth grade."said Liz Ring, a threeyear council member. She said she thought it was more organized this year, and everyone was workihg together as a team. When asked if she would run again next year.she said, "I think it would be fun."

Student Council was involved in many activities throughout the year. There were dances and the canned food drive. Planning the dances took a lot of time, but it was worth it. When thinking of ideas for the dance, they took a whole meeting as a "brain storming period." They all got together to think of ideas and then took a vote. Liz said that everyone helps out with the dances but some more than others. "Mostly we try to work together." • The other members of student council were Heather Babcock, Phillipa Cummings, Bill Whitney, Heather Zinzmaster, Kirsten Bernthal, Nate Bieck, Monica Breed, Ann King, Allison Krause, Jonas Ash, Becky Fricke, Susan Hoffman, Leigh Owen, and Elan Weiss. Nate Bieck said " Student Council is great.it's awsome!". Jonas Ash said " Student Council is neat!." By Jenni Klinkenberg

Forensics students CO"l)ete in ten tourneys Forensics was an extension of Mr. Fichthorn's speech class for 7th and 8th grade students. Matt Friesen said the work is mainly in class and that "We wrote and memorized 3-to-5 minute speeches, sometimes in three days." "Forensics is more tournaments than classwork," said Friesen. He said most people compete in about ten tournaments per year and they've had tournaments in places from Southeast and Lincoln High all the way to · Augustana, South Dakota. The tournament season ran from about November to March. After the regular season, students could also compete in State, Districts and National tournaments. Some of the events included Oratory, Oral Interpretation, Humorous Interpretation, Dramatic Interpretation, Extemporaneous Speaking, and Duo. The junior high students in Forensics/Speech and Debate this year were: Heather Kirkvold, Ellene Hu, Nancy Boudreau, Heather Patterson, Brad Carmicheal, Melissa Chen, Sara Desmond, Matt Friesen, Laurel Gray, Doug Latimer, Becky Peterson, Kim Stock, Rachel Velder, •and Bill Whitney.

Churchill determined to succeed After severe injuries in his elbows, doctors said freshman Chris Churchill shouldn't consider swimming again, but he didn't listen and he was determined to overcome the pain. Two years ago, Churchill tore several tendons in his elbows while practicing at Nebraska Aqautics (NA) at Bob Devany's Sports Complex. Chris unfortunetly had to quit swimming for a year. "It really bothered me to have to quit," commented Churchill, "I couldn't think of anything else to do." Later on Chris joined Praire Life Center's USS (United States Swimming) League to continue his training, but again he tore the tendons for a second time. That didn't prevent him from giving up his determination to swim well. Churchill started later in the fall swimming seasom to gain back his strength and swim again. He now practices a strenuous two hours on weekdays and then on the weekends he has special lessons from PLC's head coach, Jon Linder, to help perfect his stroke and tum. "The practices are dead tir-

ing," stated Chris, "but it'~ all worth it." Adds team member Aaron Ost, "We swim our four strokes in patterns of four, butterfly, back, breast, and freestyle." Churchill's goals this year in competitive swimming are to get back into condition, for the second time, despite his injuries, and to achieve his best personal times. "Some of the most common injuries in swimmers are to the shoulder and knee." said teammate Andy Krause who has so far avoided injury. \ One of the funniest things Chris remembers out his nine years in swimming is whenEastfreshmanAndy Krause pulled down Coach Jon Linder's shorts at a swim meet. "Everyone saw, it was pretty funny!" laughed Chris. Churchill says swimming is one of the best sports because it gets your body into great physical condition, it helps your mental discipline, it exposes you to competition, and it's a lot of FUN! by Mary Peterson

I'm gonna die! Pausing after a warm up during swim team practice, Chris Churchill looks up with a goggled face. Despite several injuries, Churchill continues to swim competitively. (p. Kim Olson)

America seen as same but different Maha Ishmal, a freshman, once lived in the far away land of Jordan which is located near Jerusalem. Maha moved here in August of 1987 because her father's.business transferred their family here. Living in Jordan is ..fun, great, and a different experience." Though traditions are different, the people of Jordan celebrate the same holidays, wear the same kinds of clothes~ anc:i do the same past time activities. The main difference is that English is a second language there, instead of the first, and that the foods are different but they do have Mc Donald's. Adjusting to the U.S. was easy except ofrthe having to leave old friends and try to make new ones. One of her American friends, Lorraine Sullivan jokingly adds that, .. She's got a great sense of humor but sometimes I wish she would go back to Jordan." (Hopefully this sense of humor is in full force when she reads this.) The schools in the United States are different in that the classes are easier but teachers inJordan come

to the class instead of class going to the teachers. • That, she said, is the biggest difference. "Living here is OK, though I kind of miss Jordan," she said. She continued to say that she hopes to possibly move back to Jordan or at least visit. In a Valentine's Day letter from one of Ishmal's classes in Jordan, Fadi Msharbash said, "U. R. 2. sweet 2. B. 4. go. 10." The problems of the United States are especially obvious as "The crime rate is really high here compared to Jordan mostly because Jordan has such strict laws." "Another problem here is that there is such a high teenage suicide and drug use percentage." Ishmal said that teenagers in Jordan had more mature views about drugs. All in all Maha said that althought she misses the friends in J ordan, she is happy to have an opportunity to meet new people here in Lincoln. byJodiAsh

Family closeness helps Maha Ishamal adjust to her new life in the United States. Before she came to Lincoln from Jordan, she visited her cousin Selina Issa in Chicago. (p. Maha Ishmal)

Who -says there's band nerds? Some people may think that being L.1 junior high instrumental music makes you just another band geek, but freshman Kacy Holland had a different opinion. Kacy has played trumpet for five years and has been in four bands. Her musical interest ·started in elementary school when she was in the May Morley Elementary band. In junior high she was in Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble, then Stage Band. Stage Band played rock, swing and jazz. Kacy liked Stage Band best because it's smaller than the other bands and the music is more fun to play. Sometimes, being in band isn't all fun and games. A lot of hard work, is necessary, and it can be very frustrating. Hollandjust wants to throw her trumpet against a wall and never pick it up again, on occasions, but after a successful concert, "It all pays offl" "My goal for trumpet in the future is to play a solo without screwing it up. They can be real nerve rackL.1g," commented Kacy. H0liand's parents want Kacy to piay in Marching Band in high

school, but she is undecided. "The outfits the Marching Band wears are a little goofy. but it still seems like a lot offun," jokes Holland. Friends were important in stage band, too. Some of Kasey's buddies are freshmen Jonathon Bischke and Ben Strain, and eighth graders Dave Klaege and Kasey Kinnan. Says eighth grader Casey Kinnan, "I got to be closer friends with Dave Klaege because we play our instruments together. Friends are important in band because you need to try to get along, no matter what." "The music's the easy part,"said Jonathon Bischke, a ninth grader. "It was getting along with everyone -that was the hardest part, but things usually worked themselves out." Stage band allowed many people to recognize their musical abilities, meet new people and learn important social skills, like Kasey Holland. Thi°ough her achievements, her friends and her music, Kasey has proved that Stage Band is not just for «Band Nerds!"

I'll huff and I'll puff... The trombone secton of stage band works on their breathing. Technique was important to the overall success of any band.,

Ferguson aces academic pursuits "I hate talking about myself," said Felicia Ferguson when told she was to be inteIViewed. This eighth-grader is one of East Junior High's academic stars. Ferguson was identified as gifted at a young age when she was living in Arizona. A test placed .h er in a school for gifted students. "It was sort of fun, but we (the other students at her school)· didn't get along with the kids in my neighborhood." Her intelligence separated from the other kids. Ferguson gets l's and 2's in her classes. She said she does well in "basically everything except spelling." She is taking 9E math. There is only one other eighth-grader in her class. Ferguson could have probably skipped a grade, but she said she's "more comfortable around people my own age." Being a "brain" doesn't cause Ferguson a lot of stress. She said that she doesn't insist on every point "I let it slide. It doesn't bug me." . She said that she isn't both-

ered by people in her grade but her brother and his friends give hc;r grief. She thinks that most of the eighth grade is "brainy." "I think •we're the smartest grade, but it's a proven fact we're the worst behaved." Ferguson's favorite classes are math and science. She is a member of the Mathcounts team. According to Mathcouts team leader Ms. Leona Penner, "Mathcounts is a contest for seventh and eighth graders and is sponsered by the Society of Professional Engineers." Teammate Eric Hu added that the team "is better than what I have heard about previous teams, but isn't as good as it could be." When she's not involved in academic pursuits, Ferguson likes to go to Prairie Life Center. She is active in volleyball and softball. She also throws discus and does the long ump. Her favorite activity is shopping and offers this advice: "If it's free, take it." by Kristie Coda

Tapping her way to the top Michelle Cameron. an eighth grade student here at East. really enjoys dancing. Michelle was three and a half when she started dancing. She takes tap and jazz lessons once a week; toe and ballet lessons twice a week. Her teacher is Cheryl Priess Dickey and she practices in the trade center. Dickey praises Michelle's efforts, "Her dedication and hard work are good signs. The classes she takes are improvinghertechnique and flexibility." "It's a way to meet new people and it helps you build strength in your muscles while you have fun learning to dance to different types of music." Even though she enjoys dancing. Michelle's mother comments that she "also enjoys playing volleyball. She was in extramurals and is now in Lincoln Juniors Volleyball. They practice every weekend except when they have a game." Michelle was in the Nutcracker playing the role of a maid. In Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory where she was a squirrel and a part of the chorus. Also she was in Babes in Toyland where she was a street character. a gypsy, and a clown so you can see that she keeps herself busy. She hasn't traveled much but went to Schuyler for the Nutcracker and she also danced at the Bird Cage Theatre at the zoo here in Lincoln for six years. "When I was younger I thought about going into professional dancing." she said, "but now I don't really want to. I couldn't see doing the same thing everyday and I like to stay in one Hit one, hold two, and flash that smile. city. I don't like to move around." Michelle Cameron demonstrates her form "I am very neivous when I start in a recent recital for the Cheyl Priess to do shows. Especially when the Dickey Dance School.

Stibal takes flight through replicas "I normally build them from scratch. You can get balsa wood from hobby stores, tissue paper to cover the wings, a prop, tail, and send it off." John Stibal an eighth grader, is interested in all facets of model airplanes. • He builds them from scratch, displays the· final product, and enters his replicas in contests. "Model building provides· a great challenge to test his expertise,.. tells Mrs. Stibal. Susan, his sister, adds that, "Building airplanes is a difficult hobby that takes an understanding of aeronautics. My brother is pretty good at it. It helps him keep busy." His largest scale replica has a 3-foot wingspan whereas the smallest with a whopping ten inches. In between these sizes are a P-30, a J-3 Cub, an Easy Bee, and various hand launched gliders.

The gifted program at UNL began Stibal's interest in, model airplanes when he "took a class from Tom Winters." "It sounded interesting," and now this passing interest has earned Stibal awards for timed length of flight. Thomas Stibal, John's father, adds that "John's models are more than models to him; they are like good friends. When they're together he talks to them. When they break he repairs the inj my as well as he c~n." Stibal other interstes include golf, amatuer radio, and computers, yet he keeps working on his planes.

Life headed uphill and over a wave Some people are skittish about skiing but not seventh grader David Lautenschlage. David has been skiing for almost five years. • He participates in both down hill and water skiing. "(Skiing is) fun and just kind of neat," saysLautenschlage. Along with swishing down hills, David likes to go for some wet wonderment by. water skiing. Senior Lynette Erickson does not share David's enthusiasm about water skiing though. "I tried but I couldn't do it. It was too hard to learn and I got hurt trying. I expected it to be like snow skiing, and it wasn't." After only one lesson in skiing, Lautenschlage was hooked. "Tile first time I went snow skiing, I liked it and kept going." He has mastered the required coordination, balance, and strength by constantly practicing. According to the season, Lautenschlage can be found either on the slopes or at thelake. He also enjoys being creative with art. Lautenschlage feels besides "falling down and hurting yourself," skiing is worth the risks. Fellow snow afficionado Krista Hiser adds that the best parts of snow skiing are "falling down, going fast, and wiping out." by Michelle Dickey_ Down a slightly different hill, goes skiing enthusiast David Lautenschlage. Due to a lack of snow during this Nebraska winter, David was forced to ski(?) down a hill of frozen mud without skis or poles. (p. Michelle Dickey)

Van HOrn trains at tennis nationals Chad Van Horn is an all around jock. He's been playing tennis for eight years now, and he's quite good. He made nationals in Indianapolis three times, and San Diego twice. To get there, Van Hom had to qualify by .participating in a lengthy circuit that begins with an endorsement, earned by playing in a local tournament. There the player must place in the top three of the participants. Next is the regional tournament, followed by Nationals which are held in Corpus Christi, Texas. The next level is held in Indianapolis, Indiana, followed by another tournament in San Diego, where the top three are sent to Wimbledon for the Junior Cup. Chad went to Texas for a clinic and plans on joining the varisty ten·n1s team in ninth grade. "Chad works really hard at his sport, "said his father. His parents used to have a tennis shop, and were tennis instructors. "Tiley began playing ten years ago and go to summer tennis clinic in Texas," comments Chad. Boasts Van Hom, "My parents are the top mixed doubles team in the state. My dad was in the top five of the state three years ago, and my mom is currenty in the top ten." Tennis is a family affliction as Chad's little brother has also taken a liking to tennis. Chad is coached by both his father and a pro, Barry King. Said King of Van Horn, "Chad's got a lot of potential-- he's a good kid." But his talents range further than tennis. He made the All Stars soccer team in North Platte. He also went to Indianapolis for a free-throw competition. Tennis remains Chad's sport. It might have to do with his parents' former career. by Jeff Ovender

Thomas follows family footsteps Most seniors don·t even know what they want to do in their future when they graduate. but Tim Thomas knows in seventh grade and his idea runs in the family. His grandmother, mother. and oldest brother are professional artists and he wants to be one also. Tom loves art. his grades are good and its his favorite class. He plans on taking every art class possible. Art teacher Cindy Story says that if someone is interested in an art career he/she should "explore different areas of art before they spend money in another area. Take general

art classes and get familiar with art processes and then dive into one facet." Why art? "It's fun to iook at and it makes the world less boring," he said. "Cars and buses would be neater if they had grafitti on them." Besides art, Thomas is interested in animals. Said apparent zookeeper Mrs. Thomas, "He has a hamster, three gerbils, four water turtles, and and aquarium full of fish. He is talking about getting a dove and we already have a dog. parakeets. a cat, and finches." by Michelle Dickey

trangely enough, much of what went on inside the walls of East was not supported by the students or faculty, but by the Lincoln community. Many of East's supporters were alumni who have now moved into the community to start families and businesses of their own. Returning for athletic events was a tradition for many past East students. "I love it when my old students come back so I can hear about their careers, and I can see if they're continuing in music," said Mrs. Marcia Wiebers. Students also reciprocated by shopping and working at various local businesses. With plenty of choices in places to shop students were often at a loss for money. "Well, ifl run out of money, I'll usually just steal it from my sisters," confided a sneaky little brother, Mike Owen. Gateway, East Park, Meridian Park, Centrum, The Atrium, and a honeycomb of little shops downtown were all popular choices for students when it came to shopping. After an exhausting, .draining day of spending hard earned money, one's tummy started to growl. What's a kid to do? "I think there is nothing worse than a growling tummy!" said Amy Johnson. When it came to variety in food, there was bound to be something to suit every taste, style, and budget at East. Whether it was fast Mexican food, or a fancy Italian restaurant, or even a drive-thru burger and fries, Lincoln was a culinary delight for everyone. Both long-term residents and tourists found many interesting things about Lincoln to keep stranger and even more conservative tastes happy. Even though these were places were readily available money, or the lack of it, was almost always a problem for students. Whether it was stealing from siblings, borrowing from the bank, or trying to hold down a part-time job, students often had expensive tastes and shopping habits to uphold. But, strangely enough, some things never change.

•····••< I Stranger things have happened, too, in the world at large but WE'VE Gor not many more than happened in 1988. When the presidenticl.l IT! race began in Febrnary with the Iowa caucuses, , many were NoW, WHAT shocked by the outcome. When Robert Dole won in Iowa, many Do WE Do feltGeorgeBush'scareerinpoliticswasover, butonJanuary20, · WtTH IT? •1989 Bush became the 41 st president of the United States. Recently, a new law became effective in Nebraska. The law allowed 17 year olds, who would be 18 by the day of the election, to vote in the state primary. "It's good that adults have realized the need for young voter to be informed on their candidates. This law will help students become more informed of their elected officials," commented senior Jim Coder. Politics was not the ~only strange thing shaping public opinion. Few would have expected the Soviet Union to take the lead in bringing honesty to government, but Mikhail Gorbachev, Soviet Premier, promoted a new openness in the U.S.S.R. by initiating "glasnost". "Glasnost" allowed Russians to be more honest with their government. Some doubted the honesty of the project, but most were surprised by the change. "It's interesting to see a nation change gears and become more democratic after all these years of being a 'closed country'," - - " - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ stated senior Dffi?- Lundak, who visited Russia L?J. the summer of 1988 . .. 0 , •• The most popular movies involved a cartoon rabbit and an autistic mathematics genius. "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", a m ovie whose main character was a cartoon, competed with "Rain Man" , a story of a guy and his autistic brother as the best movie of the year. Besides the movies, entertairlinent fans enjo ed the televi- . sion t alk show wars and there was no clear winner. Some of the most notable were Oprah Winfrey, and her incredible loss of 60 lbs., and Geraldo Rivera, and his talk show that instilled violence in some of his viewing audience. "Television and movies are probaly our best means of expression. The variety offered to the public shows that the creators know there is a wide range of like and dislike in the general public," said junior Bryan Sink. Strange as it may seem, television also became an arena for sports with the Olympics being held in Seoul, Korea. What happened off the field, however, was more notable than what took place on the field. Canadian Ben Johnson and the Bulgarian weightlifters were disqualified for steroid use, causing an uproar. J ohnson's use of steroids had severe after-effects on him. Because of his use of the drng, his gold medal was revoked and given to United States runner Carl Lewis. Sports happened to be the scapegoat for many faults. Three Big "8" schools were put on probation for recrniting violations. Kansas was penalized for basketball recrnitment and was banned from playing in the NCAA tournament, which they had won the year before. Oklahoma State and Oklahoma were both hit with violations in football recruitment. \ Through the strange and while the odd happened all around !our world, the state, and the country altered to meet the changing needs of the present society. Whether it was good or bad the need to to be different and recognized as an individual was a goal felt by many. Nothing could quite capture the uniqueness and specialness of the year, but it should be remebered for its successes and the instances that brought our society together. by Kerri Lovitt HSNG ~ M"IN,
