THERE are certain characteristics that are inherent · to any Nebraska high school. All have a student body and a faculty All have clubs dramatic productions, cheerleaders athletic events and vocal and i n • strumental music activities All are known to receive occasional recognition in some of these areas
The faces of the students don't really change as you compare one high school to another Some are active , some are apathetic. Some wear a different outfit every da 'i some wear the same pair of jeans five days a week . Some wouldn 't touch a cigarette or a beer , some can 't stay away from them Some are vitally concerned with grades , some do just enough work to get by
It would be logical to assume that if these things are a part of every high school , then they are a part of Lincoln Southeast High School. So our school can be considered a run - of · the-mill place , as far as high schools go , right?

WRONG! There was a t i me perhaps when Southeast was like any other h i gh school, but that time was long ago. The Southeast of today is vibrant , alive , challenging constantly moving , changing, rearranging , and undeniably talented There is a standard of high quality that is no longer surprising. It's expected
What does all this mean?
It means ou r art students b r ing home award after award at local and national competitions
It means many of our vocal and instrumental students are chosen to participate in honor choirs and bands
It means our athletes f i ll the trophy cases with city , district and state level awards
It means our gifted students win every scholarship in sight.
It means our curriculum provides students with the chance to explore botany , pottery, environmental studies , mar i ne biology , even the habits of migratory geese
It means when people meet Southeast students fo r the f i rst t i me. nine out of ten times they are immediately i mpressed by how active. knowledgeable , and concerned these k ids are
It means this and so much more
It means Southeast and that means the mark of excellence
This Spirit Week sign says it all.

Dear Southeast .
Aug . 10, 1978
Hi!
School is almost ready to start and I haven ' t heard from you . It seems like every summer I lose track of just about everyone
My summer started out slowly I had a job from June 8 to July 21, teaching swimming lessons at East High School from 8 a m to 3 p m It was really strange to get a paycheck from Lincoln Public Schools! For some reason it see'h"l,ed more professiona I than lifegua rding , waitressing_, or working i n a departm~nt store
Now I wish l'd taken some sort of trip I really envy all the people who went to Canada , Mexico and Germany on the Know Your Neighbor and German Exchange Program tours Just think about Beth Leech in Guatemala and Becky Gage in Sweden, it just about makes me turn green! Imagine ten weeks in a different country I probably won't even get out of state, I haven 't yeti!
Did you go to the " Free Street Theater " in Antelope Park? I went to it and really enjoyed it! They worked alot with the audience That's probably what made the show so special. I saw a ton of Southeast people there too
" Oklahoma!" at Pinewood Bowl was except i onal. It was directed by Carol Svoboda . I've heard she ' s go i ng to be teaching at Southeast this fall in the speech and drama department There were alot of Southeast people in the production , Genette Gibson, Caroi Priess and Caroline Coupe t o name a few And while I'm on the subject of drama , the Gaslight Mel -
Southeast performers too Crystal Rudloff in " On the Bridge at Midnight" and David Boughn , Janelle Large , and Eileen Ullman in " Hair Today Gone Tomorrow " The " Mellers " were a lot of fun , especially being able to throw food (popcorn) and not bein~ told to "cut it out.
I can't believe how many people went to school this summer! Paula Perry went to a water skiing camp in Minnesota, Martha Carter went to a music camp in Maine , and Marty Epp went to an art school in New York , New York.
I saw quite a few people at East taking classes ; most of them were taking Driver ' s Education but then alot of them were racking up credits to graduate early , or to be blunt , just graduate!
I read in the paper recently that Jon Powell , Dave Stacy (track) , Dave Oskey and Camden Allen (wrestling) and Angie Falk (diving) were involved in the Junior Olympics. Personally, I wish I had as much dedication I usually end up playing a very lazy game of tennis. you know , chasing the ball for about five minutes
Well, I wouldn't know school was about to start except for all the mail. " SENIORS GET THOSE PICTURES TAKEN! "" LOCKER CHECKOUT BEGINS WEDNESDAY" - "PRACTICE FOR ALL SPORTS STARff MONDAY " It is very unnerving!
I hope to see more of you this ytiar Like I said when the bell rings on June 2nd you might as well say to most people , "See you August 28th "

Easy-going variety reigns in fashion
GONE are the days of boys clad in polyester pants and girls in navy blue skirts and white blouses. And far behind are row after row of students with patches over patches on their jeans Dress codes are obsolete Students have discovered the perfect combination in dressing for school : class and comfort.
Sure, some days call for the good old reliables, jeans and at - shirt, with everything from "Marshall Tucker" to "Senior Power" to " Southeast Knights" printed on the front. But a look in an average classroom would reveal another angle Many students, boys and girls alike. seem to enjoy looking dressy on occasion. Jeans are put back into the drawer and corduroy pants, flouncy skirts, wool trousers , and yes even a flash of satin appear on the scene No, it's no page straight from Vogue, but who says kids don 't dress well anymore?
A new attitude has swept the facu Ity also There was a time when It was strictly conservative, rather formal dress codes for teachers Times have changed and classes are now taught by men and women wearing sport shirts, jeans, even Hawaiian shirts Who says teachers don't know what's going on too?
What trends for 1978- 79 will be remembered by S E alumni in the years to come? Backpacks, big shirts, Levi's for girls, vests, clogs, cowl necks, khaki pants and of course, jeans, jeans, jeans
The backpack is the way for Judy Gaba and many other students to carry books around

Variety: the teen job market
"No I'm sorry we're out of the Romper Room Socker Bopper right at the moment Can I take your name and we'll call you when a new supply comes in?"
These are the words that a job holder might utter during the course of a work day. Teens hold jobs for all sorts of reasons; meeting car payments, buying stereos and any other form of entertainment. Some students may hold a job for future reference purposes, either for advancement or better pay
There are many different kinds of jobs for teens lo hold during school and the summer Some of the most popular places to work are gas stations, restaurants, grocery stores, department stores and the old stand-
by, babysitting
Senior Sherry Andrews had an interesting job during the summer.
She was one of 3,000 selected to work for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission The job consisted of clearing out trees, shrubs and swamps to make a wildlife habitat near Pawnee Lake
- Southeast office staff provides students with a list of jobs in the front hall across from the office. Employers call in because they want high school-aged help and students apply because they know the chance of getting a job through the "bulletin board" is greater.
'Tm sorry Ma'am but this brand of candied yams doesn't go on sale until next week "

Good times are spent on cloud
CLOUDS of white helium balloons filled the air and angels floated from above. as the surroundings turned into a white paradise. Where else could one be but in-heaven? Indeed it was " A Knight in Heaven" for all Southeast students at homecoming, Oct 7.
This was the scene at the dance which lasted from 9 :30 p.m to midnight, with Linda Priess and John Wells reigning as queen and king. Royalty was voted on by the student body which chose from a list of senior girls in pep club and senior boys who lettered last year. or were expected to letter in a sport this fall Spirit week, a time set aside for pep club to recognize fall athletes , preceded homecoming A new policy passed during the summer forbid the distribution of food to athletes during the school year including spirit week . Pep club was determined to show their spirit in other ways by decorating halls and lockers, and some even kidnapped their spirit person (a fall athlete) and took him or her out to eat.
Since Southeast was not the home team for any of the inner city games. the homecoming game was played against Grand Island. The football team set the mood for the night by winning. 16 to 7
The Lone Jets provided music for the dance According to Karen Luebbe. homecoming chairperson. the music provided wasn't exactly heavenly Luebbe said, "I was really upset with them They didn't perform as good as they should have. They performed a lot better before ."
The all too familiar south gym is transformed into a white paradise for '"A Knight in Heaven ."
During the homecoming pep rally, Jennifer Fager (alias Beatty Warren) tries to find someone to take her place as a Southeast football player, among them are Barb Paulson and Jane Oldfather Pep Clubbers use their imagination to liven up spirit week .
Royalty includes king and queen. John Wells and Linda Priess ; attendants Bill Booth and Kit Wadlow Mark McManaman and Sue Hill, Drew Stange and Nancy Nuernberger , Pat Fau!'Ch and Lisa Rebensdorf.

Limited time creates quick eating habits
"I LIKE going out for lunch," says senior Jane Oldfather , " but if we just had ten more minutes, it wouldn ' t be such a racetogettoyourcar , getyour food and get to class on time, not to mention finding time for eating That comes between parking the car and running to your locker " • Lunch off-campus Get the picture? It is true that it can be a real pain to try to go out to lunch Forty minutes is no eternity and many 5 th and 6th period teachers are severe with tardy students. But several factors rnake going out to lunch a much-appreciated part of life at school Southeast is conveniently located near many fast -food joints that are high on the S.A.A. chart (Student Appetite Appeal) So on those days when the school's chipped beef casserole just won't do the trick, everyone heads for Wendy's A & W, Runza Drive-In, Dagwood ' s Deli , Fiesta Cantina, Arby's and good old McDonald's , to name a few.
Not long ago open campus was almost taken away because some students abused the privilege Now most students feel as Kathy Roth, who says, "Even though I don 't go out for lunch that much, it's nice to know that if I want a break from school I can have one "
Those who cannot afford the rather high cost of off-campus dining or have no cars to get around, or simply don 't want to rush through lunch, have the option of brown-bagging it or partaking in a 55C Type A lunch at the S .E. cafeteria . Despite being the brunt of many a cuisinary joke, the cafeteria provides such favorites as pizza, spaghetti, burritos and the oheand-only peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Lunchtime also find students studying in the library, cooling off in the pool, which is open on hot days during the lunch period , or sitting in the courtyard playing a little frisbee with friends.
" Hot ' N ' Juicy" is the way Michelle Piranio , Julia Sipple and Kelcy Nickerson like their lunch

New year brings chance of new rooms, rules
THE RULE reads "Provision and distribution of food to athletes is not an appropriate pep club activity" and there is no getting around it , much to the dismay of many pep dubbers. So why the new policy?
It was enacted by the School Board in the summer preceding the 1978'79 school year to eliminate apparent problems caused by pep dubbers making food for the athletes The School Board felt that this activity was costly, messy and a source of favoritism. Such were complaints made by students and parents alike
"THE LID." It ' s the topic of numerous heated discussions around Southeast Is spending lid 302 the right way to cut taxes?
The bill, to be voted on by Nebraskans on November 7, calls for no more than a five percent annual increase in school budgeting
Proponents of the lid feel that the time has come to cut the ever-increasing taxes that Nebraskans must pay, and that this is the way to start. However, many teachers at Southeast have moved into action to prevent its passage
"Vote NO" bumper stickers are seen on many cars in the faculty parking lot. And Southeast history and sociology teacher Stan Sibley can't say enough in opposition to the bill.
As President of (PACE) he explains, " It would result in the loss of some programs designed to help disadvantaged students and those with educational handicaps. School districts ' ability to make building additions such as the planned addition at Southeast would be severely limited ."
" It would also result in larger classes and fewer electives due to the possibility of teacher layoffs. Older materials, equipment and books , less well-maintained buildings and grounds and fewer school sponsored activities," he contends.
For an in-depth report of faculty feelings towards spending lid 302, see the Curriculum section of the yearbook
IT LOOKS as though Southeast might finally get the long-needed addition. Minutes of the Lincoln School Board meeting , September 12, 1978 :
" Jim Stange from the architectural firm of Davis, Fenton, Stange and Darl i ng presented preliminary plans and showed a model of the Southeast High School addition Mr Stange reported that there are 32,360 sq ft in the addition and the estimated cost is $1 ,229 ,680 00, not including air conditioning which would cost an additional $175 ,000 00 ."
Obviously , the addition is still in the planning stages, but the model calls for art and drama classrooms , and additional office space
Sounds of anger and disappointment could be heard in the auditorium when the policy was announced at the first pep club meeting. A high point in pep rallies was always presenting athletes with food, and the best part of Spirit Week was popcorn, brownies and other goodies hidden in lockers And now it all has to stop Or does it?
An occasional box of cupcakes has been seen moving down the team bench at athletic events and Spirit Week turned up a few carameled apples There is simply no way to contain all that Southeast spirit
Parties or rest; the weekend's the best
IT HAS betin a long week You had two major tests , a three-page essay was due , and you had to have a pot ready for Mary to grade. Now it ' s Friday and the 3 :15 bell just rang . It's Miller t i me
For some Southeast students the weekend begins early with phone calls to f i nd out " what ' s going on ," to set a date , or to arrange a meeting time at S E after the game Despite conflicts with the police over fights and bottle-breaking in the lot the senior lot remains the No 1 hotline for weekend activity From here, it's either time to party or time to go home
Parties may range fr o m all - school kegs in the country to a small group of friends playing "Buzz," " Dice, " or "Zoom" (how does one spell " pfigliano " anyway?) Making frequent appearances are the infamous " party pals ": beer , cigarettes , " stif-
LETTIRG LOOIE
fies , " and marijuana
This is not to say that all S E. students are a rowdy group of teenagers that spend their weeJ(-ends drinking and smoking On the contrary, nviny kids go to parties simply to be with friends and have a good time. And equally as many never make an appearance at the nightly gatherings . Some adventerous souls head out of Lincoln to enjoy the weekend-to either escape the sometimes restrictive social scene in Lincoln or to yes get !¥)ck to nature , Indian Cave State Park, the Nebraska sand-
hills or the one-and-only Niobran River are favorite places for canoe ing, backpacking, camp i ng, climbin1 or cross-country skiing, dependin1 on the season
Work also plays an important par in the weekend scene Part-time job: often consist mainly of weekenc hours Time not spent working ma• be spent shopp i ng with friends o catch i ng a new movie There alsc exist dedicated students who devote Saturday and Sunday to studying writing papers, etc though 0 1 occasion teachers find these st u dents few and far-between. It is interesting to note that re gardiess of the way a student passe the sacred two-day span , the wee k end proves that the barriers betwee 1 th e " jocks, " "freaks, " and "socials can be lowered and students of a interests can get together and have few laughs .

Dances add fuel to Knight fever
THE many dances at Southeast this year kept the Knights in their "boogie shoes," in tune with the "disco mania" fad sweeping the country
The Shirettes started things off by sponsoring a dance at the end of the first week of school. Derived from the hit movie "Animal House," the Thalian-Thespian sponsored " Toga Dance" followed. The gym was transformed into a Roman forum , with over 100 toga-clad dancers in attendance Music was provided by two disc jockeys from KFOR.
Just three weeks later, King and Queen Turkey John Fordham and Melyssa Hendrix reigned at the "Turkey Trot Dance", co-sponsored by UWS and "S" Club.
Roles were reversed as girls chose their dates for the annual Student Council "Turnabout Dance." Like the previous year , 'The Flatlands Boogie Band" provided knee - slapping music for the hoedown In January, girls chose their fathers as dates and moved to the music of the Southeast Stage Band at the 11th annual Father-Daughter Dance , sponsored by the junior class.
Despite the numerous school dances, some students couldn ' t stop their dancing feet As a result, "Teen Night" at the Point After Discotheque attracted many kids. At first , "Teen Night" gave high school students a chance to dance on Sundays Then, after large turnouts on Sundays , the disco opened their doors to teens on Friday and Saturday nights also. However, after a management change, the disco returned to its Sunday hours for teens
Whether it was a serious case of "disco mania " or just a touch of " boogie fever" no one is certain Whatever the case, Southeast students followed in the footsteps of John Travolta as they responded to opportunities to "get down "

Record number creates variety
Melyssa Hendrix welcomes AFS students Morten Christensen and H e l io Abreu at the first Southeast dance
BRINGING a record number of AFS students here will allow Southeast to submit eight students' names for the exchange program next year. AFS students included Helio Abreu of Brazil , Chantal Brouillette of Canada, Morton Christensen of Denmark , Rodolfo Ubico of Guatemala and with the YFU program, Meike Neumann of Germany Other foreign students included Mohammed Jahanbakhshfar and Majid Chassemi of Iran
Southeast brought surprises to some students "The first thing which really surprised me is how the students are close together and sometimes so close that it's hard to get in their group and find new friends. Secondly, the method of screaming used by students because they want to be noticed by other people gave me a bad impressio n at first ." Brouillette said
The most surprising thing that Christensen discovered was all the lockers in the school. According to Christensen, Southeast differs from his school in D enmark because "We sit in the same chair all day and the teachers come to us. "
Two Southeast students participated in the AFS program over the summer. Beth Leech visited Guatemala and Becky Gage lived in Sweden

PREPARING for •Southeast's upcoming silver anniversary was foremost in the minds of this year's Student Council (StuCo) members Among projects proposed by StuCo for next year's commemoration were an alumni football game and the installation of a marble plaque in the front of the building StuCo has asked for contributions from school clubs to aid in funding the projects
Another new side to Stu Co was the credit point revision Previous to this revision three credit points were automatically awarded to all StuCo members. However, this year ' s council was evaluated by President Jim Liggett and Sponsor Dennis Tinsley and members were awarded one to three points based on their participation throughout the year
Vice-President John Wells stated, "The members worked harder be-
cause they knew they had to earn their credit points ."
As a result, senior Carmelita Michalakis thought that the council was "more organized and businesslike" and accomplished more "
These accomplishments ranged from the annual Thanksgiving Skit to Turnabout Dance The Thanksgiving skit raised $262 and 40 cans of food , which StuCo donated to Lincoln Action Program (LAP) LAP used the money and canned goods to provide food baskets for needy Lincoln families
StuCo also sponsored the annual Turnabout Dance , and for the second year in a row called it a winter "hoedown ." Mus ic was again provided by the popular " Flatlands Boogie Band ."
Officers for the year were Jim Liggett , president ; John Wells , vicepresident ; Stu Kerns, treasurer; Kim Quick , secretary; and Kim Hansen, corresponding secretary Kerns also served as Vice President of Nebraska Student Nebraska Association of Student Councils

Business students organize for fun, profit
ONE OF the most chilling experiences of the Halloween weekend was DECA ' s "Dungeon of Death ." All the club members either worked in the house or helped with the props The club cleared $1100 00 in profits from the spook house and had good group participation
"This was the first year DECA has done anything like the ' Dungeon of Death' and it went over really well," said club president Gina Olson
Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) is a nationally-affiliated club associated with marketing and merchandising The club used conventions and speakers to generate new ideas and help improve the club DECA had a regional conference in Michigan , an annual intracity breakfast banquet, a state conference in Omaha and a national conference in Texas , all of which Southeast club members attended President Gina Olson and Vice-Pres-
ident Lynn Houston travelled to a leadership convention in Kearney and took part in many activities to improve them as DECA leaders
Besides taking a part in the Southeast DECA chapter, Gina Olson is also Nebraska District Vice - President Other Southeast chapter officers are : Sheila Churchill, Secretary; Linda Ford , Treasurer ; Ann Stewert, Historian; and Margie Ellis, Reporter
FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America , and it involves learning the basics of business leadership The 1978- 79 school year, however , brought a drastic change in the format of the club The members decided to shy away from the regular things that FBLA did like having speakers , field trips and many money-making projects They opted instead to become a more social club
with an informal atmosphere
"It was decided by most of the members that we would become more of a social club, and do things that we wanted to do," said club member Kathy George
The club held few meetings , and spent most of their budget on dinners at various restaurants Their budget was comprised of $3 50 dues paid at the beginning of the year, and two money-making projects, a bake sale and selling concessions at basketball games
The officers and most of the members were new to the club Officers for the year were: Kathy George, President ; Rose Jackson, Vice President; Sue Drewes , Secretary ; and Karla Essink, Treasurer

Club separates, membership increases
IF you were looking for membership in International Club this year chances are 100 to O that you didn 't find it The club split into 3 separate clubs: French , Spanish and German Clubs.
This isthefirstyearforthesplitand according to Spanish Club President Carmelita Michalakis , " It works out a lot better this way When we want to do things we don't have to worry about French and German ."
Separating increased membership ; last year there were an estimated 25 members in International Club. This year there are over 100 members in French Club alone
The French Club started out a successful year with various parties, a
wine demonstration and a trip to a French restaurant in Omaha The club boasted more officers than any other club in the school. The officers were: John Wells, president ; Kathy Roth, finance manager, Lisa Rebensdorf , secretary / treasurer ; Lisa Larsen , social chairperson ; Beth Leech, reporter; Nadene Dober, sophomore representative; Colin Hackley , photographer; Brian Phillips , Art Blackman , co - sports chairmen
German Club kept busy with activities that included a hayrack ride, a holiday party , making an Advent wreath which hung in the front hall, and joining Spanish Club in sponsoring a cake walk for Key Club Car -
nival. The club sold Advent calenda r i,: and " Knights Rule" t-shirts as mon e,, making projects German Club o f ficers were Tom Luebke , preside n 1 Barb Camp , vice-president ; Pau l ·, Perry , secretary / treasurer ; Ell e r. Brisch, activities director ; Tom Pet e r son , publicity
Spanish week gave Spanish Cl u , the opportunity to expose students t ; culture. They had several disp lo • cases throughout the school. n- i club held many bake sales, a foo < • tasting party , and sponsored a trip 1 ) a flamenco show in Omaha.
German Club President Tom Lu e tke wrapped the year up by sayin ~ , " The separate clubs brought up i r • terest. It's incredible!"

You don ' t have to be a near professional or know a lot about photography to join but the more you know the better off fo r you Besides teaching the basics of picture taking, printing , and developing , the club tries to do things that are restricted to normal classroom
Photo Club ' s early - fall plans for outdoor shooting sessions fell through due to bad weather , so they planned another sess i on for early spring Other activities included speakers from local n e wspapers, a mini - portrait ses s ion , and an exhibit at the end of the year where everyone c ontributed a piece of their work

THERE is a club at Southeast that is devoted to giving students a chance to express themselves through creativ ity This club is called Art Masters. Ac c ording to Don Byorth , sponsor , the major goal of the club is for students to complete individual art works , prepare them for an exhibit and participate in a public exhibition
This year's e xhibit was held at the Haymarket Gallery on March 4 and 5. Last year ' s Best of Show Award was won by Southeast student Janice Wishnow
Unlike other clubs the constitution for Art Masters calls for no elected officials, so the atmosphere is relaxed. Also the club meets on an irr e gular basis rather than weekly meetings. The club has four sponsors , Don Byorth , Gerald Christensen , Mary Boren , and Bob Shanou.
One member, Jean Harrison said , " Art g i ves someone a chance to better understand themselves and their inner feelings ."

Athletic clubs: behind the scenes
THE Southeast athletic program is supported not only by the students, administration and parents but also by cluos organized specifically to support it As Wally McNaught, sponsor of " S" Club said, "Our main function is to promote the athletics at Southeast "
"S " Club is made up of people who have lettered in a sport. The club is predominately male, but they have a female counterpart , United Women ' s Sports, known as UWS.
Both clubs participated in traditional activities this year. " S" Club sold programs at football and basketball games, and sponsored the annual "Bacon Ball," a spring picnic and party UWS sold balloons at football games and buttons at basketball games and sponsored the annual "Turkey Trot Dance "
The clubs used earnings from these activities to meet the needs of special projects. " S " Club chose to again sponsor the " S" Club Scholarsl:iip, a $250 award presented to an
outstanding athlete at the May awards ceremony The club also bought the carpeting and some of the equipment in the weight room Funds were also started for a 16mm camera and an ice machine that makes ice bags for bruises and sprains
UWS used some oftheir treasury to get out of debt after money was lost on the club-sponsored pop machine in the girls' gym . After getting back in the black, the club started funds to buy a plaque to honor the outstanding female athlete of the year UWS also invited Dr Jay Davis , the director of women ' s athletics at the University of Nebraska , to speak at one of their meetings.
The 1978- 79 "S" Club officers were Drew Stange, president; Pat Fausch, vice-president; Kelly McBride, secretary ; John Fordham, treasurer; and Greg Hoffmaster, Sergeant-at-Arms UWS officers were robin Nelson, president ; Wanda Anderson, vice-president ; and Kathy Fischer, secretary / treasurer

Small but mighty clubs offer valuable experience
FUTURE Homemakers of America is a nationwide organization , and although the Southeast division of FHA had only five members this year, the group made contributions to the school and the community . Mottos for the year were "small but mighty " and " quality not quantity "
Funds came from dues and moneymaking projects like a dough art pin sale on Valentine's Day and a garage sale. Projects included collecting food at Thanksgiving for the underprivileged and donating money to Student Council for the 25th anniversary school sign .
The 1978- 79 FHA officers were Sue Leitgeb , president; Sue Drewes, secretary / publicity; and Dorothy Schmitz, treasurer
IF YOUR coleus developed brown leaves or your trillium wilted , you should have sought the adv i ce of the Indoor Gardening Club Meeting discussions centered around how to care for different plants Club activities included a Valentine ' s Day plant sale, a trip to the green house at the University of Nebraska and a trip to Omaha to buy exotic plants.
The 1978- 79 officers were Lisa Larsen, president; Brent Jordan, vice-president ; Lori Ronnau, secretary ; Jim Kendrick, treasurer ; and Norene Schroeder, green house advisor.

Brainpower utilized in science, math clubs
MANY activities occupied the Science Club members this year including field trips to Vet's Hospital , Holmes Park Observatory, a tour of the Chemistry Department at the University of Nebraska and participation in the annual science Fairs, one held at Nebraska Wesleyan University and one in Nebraska City Club President Tom Peterson said, "We were a traveling club and our goal was to discover different science aspects in the community."
" We were not as active as in previous years, but I felt we had a good club, " he continued
One major club project involved promoting the eclipse of the sun of February 26th. Club sponsor Gunnar Overgaard said, ' We hoped to have the whole school be able to see the eclipse."
In order to accomplish this, the club proposed reflecting the eclipse back into the cafeteria or media center.
"That way, kids wouldn ' t have to go outside ," said club sponsor Joe Dappen.
The 1978- 79 Science Club officers were Tom Peterson, president ; Susannah Duly, vice-president ; and Amy Stenhjum, secretary / treasurer
COMPETING in statewide math contests continued to be the main activity for this year ' s Math Club. As George Eisele, club sponsor, said, "We had no social activities and we mostly worked with individual study "
As such, the nationally-affiliated club concentrated on solving difficult mathematical problems and boning up for contests and field days. These contests included the Westside Bowl, the National Math Contest and the Atlantic-Pacific High School Math League They also participated in the Creighton University Field Day
When attending the abovementioned events , the club took two five-member teams Each team participated in several different events, such as Leap Frog Relay of Chalk Talk In Leap Frog Relay, two members are given a test which they work on separately for one hour. At the end of thefirst hour, the two switch tests and work on them for a second hour, during which they can discuss the tests between themselves In Chalk Talk, a member is judged on his / her presentation of a specific topic related to math This year ' s topic was diophantine equations
The 1978- 79 Math Club officers were Wayne Lo, president; Neil Trabert, vice-president and Linda Damm, secretary / treasurer.
DUE to lack of interest and funds, the Rocket Club, like several other Southeast groups, fell prey to inactivity.
At one of the few club meetings, the group discussed holding a school-wide launch. They did sponsor a small scale launch, but by midNovember, the group disbanded
Elected officers were : John Reinert, president; Tom Peterson , vicepresident; and Carter Edwards , secretary /treasurer.

CLAl210~ Innovative staff institutes change
THE setting was room 271 Thetimedeadline day. The rattling of typewriters, the frustrated cries of editors, and the hurried calls to Arbor Printing Company created an atmosphere of organized chaos.
Like the Clarion of previous years, deadlines had to be met But that was all that made the 1978- 79 Clarion like its predecessors.
In order to avoid carryovers , the 20member staff gave their publication a new look. They switched from the traditional white paper to newsprint, and started giving more attention to issues happening outside the walls of Southeast.
Carol Dawson, managing editor,
thought the school was more interested in the new Clarion because it "dealt with touchy subjects that involved the students. "

Students in the Journalism I classes produced one issue each semester , experiencing actual newspaper production before deciding to join the Clarion staff.
Clarion will again enter in the Nebraska High School Press Association Newspaper Contest In regard to the previous year ' s 3rd place rating , journalism advisor Dianne Kuppig said, " I think we have a good chance of doing it again, and maybe even going beyond "

Sibling rivalry: bark is worse than bite
staffers express their anti - Shield
SHIELD staffer : ''I'll meet you in the Shield room. "
Clarion staffer : " The Shield room? You guys think you own the place, don ' t you?"
Shield staffer: " Well . .. we spent more time in there and ours is a lasting product ."
Clarion staffer : "More time? Do you realize how hard we work to put out an issue every two weeks?"
Shield vs. Clarion-the age-old feud between the publications staffs. What is it that prompts this sibling rivalry?
Perpetrator Nick Heng, Clarion, calls it an outlet for his creativity. His philosophy : " To be successful, you have to have people hate you." Dave Thompson , Clarion, admits he "gets a kick out of it now and then, although it would be more fun if Shield took a few licks back at Clarion . " •

Shield takes on new look
"IT'S NEW , d ifferent , more informative and there are more color pages! " read the poster advertising Shield sales Endless changes and additions made the staff confident that students would enjoy their productAdvisor Dianne Kuppig commented , " The book gets better every year and this year ' s book looks like a good one After all , kids are paying $10 for it They expect it "
Editor Lisa Rebensdorf reinforced th i s view in saying, " I worked on the staff the year before and I think this year's staff showed more concern for what went in the book It showed in their layouts, their creative ideas and especially in their writing. "
After long discussion at the beginning of the year , the staff chose to add a student life section including summer activities , jobs and current fads They also added features to the people section that dealt with unusual activities not usually recognized Both additions allowed more students to appear in the book , thus meeting one of the staff's important goals - to give equal representation to all students
Managing editor Jan Large said , " It was hard to find interesting topics , bu t we wanted to show how almost everybody was i nvolved in some activity ."
The Shield also changed from a local printing company to a national yearbook company , Walsworth Printing of Marceline, Missour i.
" Working with an out - of-town publisher was hard ," said Rebensdorf " A deadline was a deadline and if we didn 't meet it , we got penalized Several times we thought the book might come out late, but fortunately , everything came out as scheduled ."

Broadcasting class met every day during third period and from it came Newsdesk, the five m i nute broadcast that ran each day during fourth period
Starting out with a new advisor , Carol Svoboda , and an all new staff Newsdesk decided to change the format and improve it
Newsdesk member Jon Powell felt that improving it meant " not do i ng c hildish things like last year , and we don ' t do skits and dumb stuff "

The staff felt that the purpose of Newsdesk was to inform the students of not only what was going on in the school but also what was going on in the community and other schools
This type of variety was important in the new format
When asked how she felt about Newsdesk , Senior Kathy Kubitschek sa id, " They tell you more about what ' s going 0:1 in school rather than mak i ng it a comedy show ."

Teens cope with problems in play
The 1978 fall play , David and Lisa, was entirely different from any play ever seen in the Southeast auditorium
David and Lisa consisted of fifty eight short scenes played in succession and 114 light cues which illustrated the passing of time and action. The play called for a twenty two member cast and was directed by Louise Alfrey.
The play was chosen primarily because of a time factor . The students only had four weeks to put the play together and Mrs Alfrey felt that David and Lisa was a challenge but also could be done in a shorter amount of time Costuming was easy because the play was set in the the present day and the setting could be built by Mrs . Alfrey ' s stage craft class
David and Lisa are two mentallydisturbed adolescents who have been sent to a private school to seek help under psychiatrist Alan Swinfo rd · Lisa is a young girl who has never had parents and has developed a split personality She will only talk or be spoken to in rhymes While Lisa is always busy talking to the students, David is an intellect and very much a recluse.
These two teenagers have many quarrels but towards the end become confidential friends and begin to overcome their troubles
Along with a twenty-two member case, 58 others were involved to help with props , lighting , publicity , costumes, make-up and sound.
All these people worked together , from putting up posters to putting on make-up to help make the fall play a success and definitely one to remember .

TAKING first in one-act district and state competition was " Veronica's Room," directed by Carol Svoboda and student assistant Brad Buffum
This mystery play , described by one critic as a "chew-up-your-fingernails-thriller-chiller " involves 20year old Susan · Kerner, asked by a family to impersonate Veronica , the long - dead daughter of family friends Susan, once dressed in Veronica ' s clothes , becomes Veronica. Or is it really Veronica , pretending to be an
imaginary Susan The Plot twists and turns , with a climax as jarring as it is surprising
An excellent opportunity for sophomores to gain experience and points came in the spring with the student - directed one - act, " God " a Woody Allen play directed by Mike Wolfe The play was presented February 22 and following the production , a coffee-critique session was held on stage, with comments from guest artists.

You CAN be a Thespian and a Thalian, or you can be a Thalian, but you can't be a Thespian without being a Thalian
Most people think ofThespians and Thalians as one club. However , Thalians are a kind of prerequisite to Thespians Anyone who has an interest in drama can join Thalians by simply paying the $1 50 membership dues To be a Thespian, however, a person must earn 30 points. One point is equal to 10 hours of acting or 300 hours of work behind the scenes-assisting in make-up, set construction , etc
This year's Thalians built a large treasury by selling concessions at plays musicals and sports events They also earned $800 in a rock-athon and brought in $400 by sponsoring the "Toga Dance " All this money helped to fund a three - day

Broadway hit comes alive on Southeast stage
FROM the stages of Broadway to a hit movie , to the Southeast auditorium, Rodgers and Hammerstein ' s The Sound of Music has been a smashing success once again
Although Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer weren ' t a part, seniors Linda Priess and John Ficke impressed the audience in their roles as Maria and Captain von Trapp , receiving standing ovations at each performance
Running November 9, 10 and 11, the Southeast production of The South of Music. under the direction of Frank Mills , played to sell-out crowds all three nights and grossed over $2000
The musical had a 50-member cast, all of whom were required to enroll in musical theatre class This experience made them more familiar with a musical than an ordinary cast
" We had a strong cast with much potential ," Ficke said There were also more than 40 people working behind the scenes. The colorful sets were built by Louise Alfrey's stagecraft class, and a special crew aided in the 19 scene changes
Commenting on the crew , Ficke said they " did an excellent job changing the sets quickly and quietly "
Since The Sound of Music is so famous it is more difficult to stage than other musicals Realizing this, the cast's goal was to simply produce an enjoyable, high - quality musical for 1978
In the words of Carole Priess , who played Louisa , "It ' s hard to beat a musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein , but I think we did pretty good job for a high school. "

FROM appearing at a toga dance to performing at the Governor ' s Mansion : what other group could be this versatile but the Countesses and Noblemen? Sixteen members met everyday to practice songs and choreography for performances Nobleman Bob Segal said , " There ' s a lot of hidden talent in our group that can be brought to the surface ." The members were decided on by auditions last spring
New this year was a swing group Frank Mills, vocal music director, said ' 'There is quite a sw i ng choir craze , especially in junior high. It was formed because of the requests from parents and students "
Three other groups made up the rest of the vocal music department Court Choir performed t he most and got the most recognit ion according to Mills It was the largest , consisting of around 70 members The songs they sang were main ly sp i ritual , while Modern Choir sang popular songs Modern Choir performed for home concerts One group that was open to anyone in the school was Mixed

Minor quota change produces major quality change §TA6~ 13A~U
A blow of the whistle , a crash of the cymbals and they ' re off down the field. In time to the music and with a big beat Who else could it be but the Southeast Marching Band To be a member of this musical cabaret , one must audition when one is a sophomore If they qualify they ' re in for the next three years, if they don ' t qualify they are placed in the Prep Band and must work their way up
This year , the marching band was larger by 15 members Paul Austin , band director , credited this to more sophomores auditioning that displayed real potential. The marching skills practiced this year leaned more towards performance on an individual basis rather than group performance
The officers for the marching band were Alan Hergenrader , president ; Stu Kerns , vice - president ; Eileen Ullman , secretary / treasurer ; Amy Schneider, librarian ; and Joyce Olson, drum majorette
Another fine band to come out of Southeast was the Stage Band The difference betw e en Stage Band and Orchestra is the music each performs and the lack of string instruments in a stage band Stage band music is more of a jazz ensemble of modern music and jazz to rock dancing
Some of the performances they gave this year were at the annual Father / Daughter Dance, the All City Stage Band Night, the Sertoma and Kiwanis Pancake Feeds, and three Jazz Festivals
--Majo • organ _ and ,•
Catching a glimpse of the crowd 's reaction is band director Paul Austin
A musical conglomeration
WHEN asked how one gets into orchestra , the director Paul Austin stated j0kingly , "By starting really early, like in the 5th grade ."
The difference between orchestra and stage band is the fact that orchestra has string instruments, and stage band does not
Because strings are the difference , people who play strings don 't have to audition, But for all others, like brass percussion and wind instruments one must audition By making orchestra in the sophomore year , players usually stay in all three years
The music for orchestra is based on classical renditions but some of the music they perform has a more modern beat
Besides playing here at school, the orchestra traveled to some junior high schools Other events included a state-wide orchestra contest, an allcity orchestra festival and an all - city orchestra night
Another event for the year was the Orchestra and Band Christmas dance, held every year. One half of the program is played by the Stage Band and the other half devoted to disco During the dance Orchestra royalty was chosen This year ' s King and Queen were Tom Luebke and Laura Lynn Bauer

A NEW sponsor was a change for Runes, the creative writing magazine published by Southeast students Mara Murphy replaced Eleanor Mack , who had been the sponsor for several years Murphy adds this responsibility to her other creative writing and English classes and to Round Table , the creative writing club which she also sponsors Round Table ' s main purpose is to gather students who have an interest in sharing their writing This year the club had approximately 12 regular members who me bimonthly , but accord i ng to Murphy many other students sat in on meetings from time to time to l i sten to the students read their writings and to share in discussions
Although the members shared mostly among themselves , they invited guest speakers to their meetings Warren Fine , a novelist and Lawrence Caldwell , a science fiction novelist, were two writers who came to present their ideas and to help the students improve their own writing skills
One of the highlights for both Round Table members and the student body was when William Kloefkorn , a poet and professor at Nebraska Wesleyan Un i versity , came to speak His amusing , earthy and somet i mes unpredictable style was enthusiastically accepted by those at the assembly . For conf i dent students writers who were desirous of seeing their work actually published , Runes was the perfect opportunity . ~ny student could submit short stories and poetry to the Runes staff, who then chose the best contrihut i ons for publication

Forensics move on uphill climb
A NEW coach, a student teacher , and the continued interest of experienced students appeared to put Southeast forensics on the upswing. With three coaches in three years, Southeast has had a difficult time establishing a solid forensic program. However, Carol Svoboda , the new speech and drama teacher, used her experience to help students interested in these aspects of forena sics Results were positive at the Grand Island Invitational Debate
Tournament, as junior Chris Cartmill won first place in dramatic interpretation of prose, with his redition of "A Texas Trilogy" by Preston Jones Taking second place in extemporaneous speaking was junior Dan Zariski . Second semester brought to Southeast Jeff Thompson, a student teacher who worked with debaters and their arguments on this year ' s topic-resolved: that the federal government should increase the energy independence of the U S
Returning debaters John Petr and Zariski earned a second place trophy in the Omaha Marian Invitational Novice Debate Tournament.

Injuries stop harriers from taking top honors
HIGH morale and top runners left cross country members optimistic at the start of the season "We thought we had the talent to be the best," said team captain Pat Fausch, "and our morale never went down. We just lost the team."
Injuries seemed to steal the team, taking three top runners, two for the entire season. However, the team still won all but one of their duals and placed fourth in districts, with junior Jon Powell qualifying for state Reserves placed first in all but two meets, where they placed second.
In regards to the season, Coach Roy Churchill said, "I have some
regrets It's not what I expected." He added, "From how hard they tried and their amount of dedication, I don't think I've had a better team ."
The team supported each other according to senior Colin Hackley. Hackley emphasized, "We didn't have any great wins because our injuries really hurt us; but we put out a lot of effort at each meet, and that's all that really counts!"
"The team will probably always wonder if they could have been the 'best' ," said Churchill. He went on to say, " It's a season I' ll long remember. It's so easy to give up and fold up, and they just didn't do that at all."
Concentrating on the two and one h , f mile course , Matt Joeckel sets his pace.

Proud team turns uncertainty into historical season
Two class A state football championships in a row for the Southeast Varsity football team
That is a tough act to follow , and in August coach Frank Solich d i dn 't know what to expect from the 1978 team Only three members were returning lettermen and the team size was small.
" We didn't have the size or the experience to make a third straight title our goal. So we stepped ur t hrough the season on a one by one game basis ," Solich said .
Nine games later , Solich learned what pride and determinat ion could do for a football team For the first time in Southeast history , the varsity team earned an undefeated regular season , including the city and TransNebraska championship
It was one shaky play that extinguished the team ' s hope of a third straight state title
Grand Island beat the Knights in the first round of playoffs , 8 - 7 The game went scoreless until the third period when Mark White ran in for the first score of the game, which was followed by a Kyle Fink extra point kick G I. then came back to score in the fourth per i od of play
Next G.I. pulled off a miraculous extra point play when the intended receiver-wasn ' t able to hang onto the
pass from the quarterback , and another team member was able to bring it down giving the Islanders a two po i nt conversion and a one point advantage
" I don 't consider the game a fluke," said Solich , 'They were just able to capitalize on our mistakes! "
Field conditions and the size of G.I. were big factors in the loss When the Knights and G I. met in the regular season, Southeast was able to use quickness to overcome the G.I. size advantage
In the playoff game , the field was muddy and slippery from rain, making things difficult for the linemen who only averaged 165 lbs
Kelly Petersen stated , " We feltthat we were best in state even though we were beat in playoffs. "
Strong support came from students , faculty and players alike During home games , the Southeast side of Seacrest Field was usually full. The players · parents gathered money at the end of the season and at the annual team banquet in November , each player received a medal to hono r the perfect 8 - 0 season
Team captain Jeff Isaacson summed it up by saying , " We felt bad abou t the loss to G I. but after a fouryear record of 25 - 4 and the first undefeated season , we are still proud to
say we played for Southeast."

Reserves
ALL football teams are different in compos ition The 1978 reserve football team had size , depth , positive attitudes and team work , factors that produced a winn i ng record
The season opened with the Knight reserves losing , 0 - 18 , to the Northeast Rockets , but that is what pulled the team together fo r the rest of the season
" After our loss t o N E we started thinking and working together as a team We started coming together ," said Mark Sievers
The improvement allowed the reserves to prevail over Fremont and Lincoln H igh , and hold the Rocke t s to a single touchdown at the i r second meeting.
In the final three games , the power and s ize of the front line combined with cont i nual improvement brought the Knigh t s' re cord to 4 - 2 - 1
' They were a compet it ive team They enjoyed play i ng , practicing and wo r king together As a result, it made coaching fun , easy and someth i ng to look forward to, " said Coach Wally McNaught
McNaught commented that their record didn 't seem to reflect their abil ity .
" They felt they were good enough to go undefeated , and I thought they were too ."
The nine major i njuries the team received throughout the season tarnished their goal, but it didn 't keep anyone from see i ng their talent and dedication Frank Sol i ch , varsity football coach , noted , " Desp ite the amount of players banged-up they came up with a very excellent record and have great potential. "
Sophomores
"A secret weapon ?"
One might wonder , after watching the sophomore football team in action , and learning that the team had taken the city championship honor undisputedly
The honor had been given to a team with a tied record before , but the 1978 sophomore football team took the honor defeat i ng all three Lincoln teams The sophomore team also played against Crete reserves and Seward reserves , upsetting Crete by a score of 14 - 12 and tieing with Seward 12 - 12
" The secret weapon " yes , they had one , or rather eleven
" It was a special t eam that went into the game when the team was down , to spiritually uplift and turn over the game ," expla i ned Mike Headley
They wer e called the " Band its " or " Shock Troopers ," and they were a special defe nsive unit that went i nto the game for three or four plays to t r y to force t he opposition to fumble or punt
' They did it time and time aga i n! " s aid Coach John Larsen
The " Bandits " however were only part of the reason the sophomore team could come up with their record of 5 - 1 - 1
" We worked in a kind of a friendship way . We helped each other out , no one r eally played for themselves We worked together as a unit and could rely on our teammates ," said Jim Smith
The closeness of the team was
good to have sa i d Larsen, ' The team fought constantly throughout the season They really wanted to win and they always did that ."
In regards to next year Larsen sa i d , " I wouldn ' t count any of them out for varsity ."

The Knight men also broke the state record this year " We were real proud of this ," said junior Scott Howerter "We felt it was a real accomplishment for the year."
The girls ended up second in state , after being state champions the previous two years
Having the skill as a team to win state again th is year was not the problem , according to sophomore Donna Meyer She said , " We weren 't too familiar with the course so we had unexpected problems."
The girls finished four strokes behind Millard. Place finishers were sophomores Donna Meyer , ninth ; and Lori Mills, eleventh " I enjoyed coaching the girls, " said Jones ' They had a lot of personal dedication They were playing throughout the hot summer months , and that's something to be proud of "

The team didn 't have any certain five golfers who played in each meet Instead they exchanged positions " We felt that it showed a lot of class ," expla i ned Glenn Hoeft , "to be able to play different guys every meet and still win them a l l. "
The closest that any city competi-
tion came to beating the Knights was East High The Knights beat them by 24 strokes in the first meeting, then East was able to close that to four strokes in the last dual of the year
In the LPS Reserve Tourney the Knights eas i ly beat the three other city opponents by scores of 1 65 for LSE, 176 East, 176 Northeast, and 209 for Lincoln High

The div i ng team consisted of seven divers who were all close in ability Choosing divers for each meet turned out to be a difficult problem
Losing seniors always puts some strain on a team but according to Eva Booth the nine missing letterwomen will be made up for
" We always make it a team effort and turn out our best, " she commented.

Team improvement shocks state opponents
TEAMS often do better than exp ected and the Southeast Boys Gymnast i cs team was one of those teams
At the state meet , many of the Omaha coaches asked that the scores be rechecked , surprised that Southeast had impr oved as much as the scores i nd i cated
" After the first week of compet ition , I would have rated us ninth or tenth , " said Coach Brad Manard.
However , the team increased their score a total of 23 points by the end of the season This improvement enabled the Knights to place fifth in state and preva i l over three teams who had beat them earlier in the season
Southeast gymnasts attr i buted their great improvement to teamwork and attitudes. Team captain Ron Paulsen attributes the improvement to the team being able to work together well.
Scott Walker added , " The attitude was more of a work attitude than a screw-off attitude . "
Depth also i nfluenced the Knights success The gymnasts had three all arounds , where in the previous year they only had one. The 1978 team also was the only state team with enough members to fill a varsity and reserve squad
In the state meet , without seniors they st i ll would have placed in the top ten , according to Manard He added , " We should be just as strong next year

Record after tough schedule proves ''they've
come a long way"
THE phrase "You ' ve Come A Long Way Baby " isn 't to be applied to cigarettes in this case , but to the girls ' varsity basketball team Coach Jerry Harkrader ' s five year experience coaching the team has seen the girls " come a long way with skills ."
" I think this team played better than any team ever , " commented Harkrader " We lost close to big teams and played our toughest schedule ever. "
Ending the year with a 7 - 12 record , the Knights did play a difficult schedule. Ou t of t he nineteen teams played , twelve of those teams were or had at one time been rated . The schedule included Grand Island and Bellevue East , eventual Class A state finalists Also i ncluded was play against York , Class B state champions " I think we gave our best effort against the better teams, " said senior started Kay Adams " Beatr ice may not have been a better team
but beating them at districts 'Ni our biggest win "

Reserves overcome abundant obstacles
"LErs pretend: That the bleachers are filled with throngs of enthusiastic spectators " beg ins the feelings of reserve girl's basketball coach Janet MacNeill as printed in February issue of Clarion. After her team finished the season with a 10-4 record, MacNeill's cleverly written letter to the editor expressed emotions and attitudes experienced by the team
"It isn't a derogatory but a different way of letting people know the lack of support, " commented MacNeill.
MacNeill's "excellent" basketball season did share team unity and effort to overcome the many obstacles.
"We were a short team with a lot of hustle," added MacNeill "Losses were to tall teams and within a four point margin ."
Team member Cory Amend agreed with MacNeill-the quickness the team possessed aided in play against taller teams
Despite the "mix-ups," illness and injury that plagued the reserve team, the strength and spirit that existed among the group kept them strong
Julie Lee's first point of season almost ended up as a basket for the other team, while Marcia White's continuous illness and injury kept her out for almost the entire season.
The effort used to overcome the many obstacles that interferred with the reserves season will make the determination for a better season next year

Right chemistry creates 'fairy tale' year for team
IT DOESN ' T really matter if it was the right chemistry or just something from a fairytale What is important is that for the second year in a row , the varsity boys · basketball team proved they were for real.
According to Head Coach Wally McNaught , the word " Cinderella " no longer lingers around the Southeast gym
" We have proved that we are for real," said McNaught " We aren ' t some team out of fantasy land We can play with the best ."
Assistant coach Roger Douglas noted the closeness of the team as an important factor He continued , "They played far beyond the expectations of the coaches ."
McNaught cited not only good basketball players, but good athletes as a possible reason for the team ' s success.
"The team played very com-
petitively ," he explained "They overcame the height disadvantages by simply playing tall."
Leading scorer Mark McManaman said, " We proved we could play with anyone when we beat East " That miraculous 55 - 54 win over the East powerhouse carried the Kn ights to District finals. where the team bea t out Beatrice for the District trophy

Quickness leads to success
IN the 15 years Coach Denny Puelz '<le has been coaching reserve boys ' 11 basketball, he states that the 197879 team was the quickest one he has ever coached
He said that quickness and speed are very important in basketball , as in any sport , and that the team benefited from possessing these qualities
Another asset for the team was that they worked hard in their practices and accepted each other and their roles
Puelz said that the excellent practices , in which the whole team was willing to listen and play hard, was the key to their successful season and that he was pleased with the coordination between games and practices.
However , the team's downfall was that they weren ' t a grea t shooting team , according to Puelz . He also said that, due to the fact that three members had never played at Southeast before , it was hard to get the season started , and it took longer to get the concepts together
The reserves played a tough schedule , with all of their opponents being fairly equal competitively . According to Puelz, the competition was tougher than it had been in previous years
" The kids gained some understanding to help with the varsity team next year, " said Puelz, "and I wish them the best of luck."

COMRADESHIP was the feeling that enveloped the sophomore basketball team , along with enthusiasm, a strong competitive spirit and a desire to improve
Last moment shooting by opponents and failure to score at key times during a game are the reasons for the teams ' s 4-8 record, according to Coach Roger Douglas Of the eight games lost three were by last second shots and five were by a 1-3 point spread
The team's special game plan which was used against East proved successful. A designed defense upset East's offensive rhythm and Southeast led until the final seven seconds . According to Douglas most games are not won by gimmicks but the ability to execute basics. The plan
wasn ' t used in other games because Douglas said he thought that it wasn ' t needed. Ball handling and shooting are key improvements for next year ' s team.

Gymnasts bring snow to State
IF it had to take a blizzard to stop the Northeast Rockets, the Southeast Girls Gymnastics team was willing to give it their best.
Northeast's coach, Joy Callahan, told an Omaha paper that the only way that they would not get first at the state meet would be if there was a blizzard and the meet was cancelled, explained Sue Hill. Hill said that every team in the state knew Northeast would get first and this caused a loss of enthusiasm on some teams
But the Knight gymnasts, unaffected by this knowledge, decided that they were going to bring their own blizzard and place in the top three at state
Arriving at the first day of state, wearing t-shirts with "BLIZZARD" printed on them, the Knight gymnasts gained third place , qualifying the team and individuals Kim Davis, on floor exercise and vault, and Sue Hill on vault and uneven parallel bars, for the final day of competition.
The team's second day was even better than their first according to
Coach Lavonne Uffelman.
"I wanted the team to get to State again for the fourth time," she said "I also wanted to keep the ladies from peaking before the state meet as had happened in previous years."
The gymnasts did gain their highest team score of the season the last day of State, with Kim Davis receiving seventh on floor exercise and Sue Hill placing fifth on vault.
Hill commented, "We may not have been a blizzard, but we sure left some big drifts at State!"
Qualifying the whole team for the second day of State was another first for any Southeast Girls Gymnastics team, along with receiving first at Districts , having the most individuals at Districts qualify for State, being the highest scoring Southeast gymnastics team ever and having the undefeated Reserve-city champions.
"We were a real team. We worked together well and accomplished a lot by our individual and team goals," said Corinne Collins
Goals and hard work were just part
of what kept the team going
Assistant Coach Bob Cass said, 'This was the most fun I've had coaching gymnastics. We were serious, but we had a great time and still did the work we set out to do "
Uffelman added : "This was the best and most enthusiastic group of ladies I have yet to work with at Southeast They were hard-workers and very determined This determination was evident at State "

Momentum loss brings down team at Stat e
As THE say i ng goes, there's a first for everything In the case of Steve Nootz, swim coach, his " first" came by finishing fourth in State , the lowest place that one of his boys · teams has finished in his seven years at Southeast.
" We lost all momentum", commented Nootz "The performance was good, but no momentum ."
The momentum fell when the medley relay team was disqualified in preliminaries The unfair ruling Nootz said would have won a third place spot
Although one relay was disqualified, the effect of individual performances was untouched. Senior standout Bill Booth broke the state record in the individual medley with
an All - American consideration t i me
Although he broke the State record, Booth ' s 100 fly came to a close second behind State record holder Tony Lazzaretti from Creighton Prep.
Other top finishers in state were junior Mark Stanard with a fourth place medal in both the 100 and 200 freestyle Scott Standard finished fifth in the breaststroke while junior standout Jack Perry took fifth place i n individual medley and a fourth place spot in backstroke ahead of sophomore Mark Holloway The Knights 400 free - relay finished second behind Millard . Although the divers did end the year with an excellent season, they failed to qualify for finals in state . " We just didn ' t hit our dives right , "
explained sophomore diver Martin Gibbens
Kevin Patt explained that throughout the season Southeast had a different winner and a close second or third place . Patt added that this year the lack of support for diving did have an effect on performance
Although the state meet didn ' t bring top team stand i ng, the regular season proved what real winners the Knights were. Finishing the year with 10-0 record and keeping the first place at Trans-Nebraska right at home for the fourth year in a row , the team is optimistic for the coming year , according to Pat Lawlor
" We were a young team this year wh ich will make us even better next year ," he said

Grapplers build foundation for future success
AN INDIVIDUAL state champion, a rating in the top ten-these two historic events will be the "turning point" according to Mick Pierce , wrestling coach.
"I think the future of wrestling at Southeast will show this 1978-1979 team to be the pivotal, that is the center or axis on which the success of later teams will be built," Pierce said
The Knights earned their rating in the top ten when Dave Oskey , 145 lbs , was rated first and Gary Hammer, 119 lbs , and Kenny Lehi, 11 2 lbs , were rated sixth. The Knights then ended up 16th in state with Oskey taking the state title at 145 lbs
Even though the Knight grapplers only had three wrestlers rated during the season, Pierce credits the success to the whole team
"Without the reserves pushing the varsity to work to keep their spot, they wouldn't have done half as good," he commented. " To have a good strong reserve program helps any team out in the long run."
"This was one of the most satisfying teams I have coached , " said Pierce "The team worked hard and
state proved that we were in the top 20 ."
Not only hard work contributed to the success according to Pierce. He said the seniors had a good attitude, the "you can if you think you can" attitude
"There was good leadership from the captains Brad Muehling, Gary Hammer, and Perry Shuman , " Pierce explained ' There wasn ' t just one or two members who were good leaders on the team , there were seven or eight seniors who led the team " Oskey commented , "The team was
close and we all supported everyone "
Pierce is very optimistic about next year ' s team They have eight returning city reserve champs, and Neal Endacott, a state qualifier in 19781979 . Pierce believes that the guys know how important hard work is and the idea of being a team
"I sincerely believe the Knights can do as well if not better next year, " he said

THE air is charged with electricity . The mass of students mob their way through the halls , toward the north gym . Another pep rally is about to begin
This year a new format of presenting pep rallies was i nit i ated It was called the " theme " pep rally Each rally had a different theme relating to an event upcoming in the school calendar or a particular opponent for the evening
Different themes included : Hawaiian , the Hoe Down (overall) , the Heavely rally (before Homecoming), a 50's rally , a Rather Fight than Switch (against Northeast), and a r~serve rally

Membership drops; system blamed
OoH-UNGAWA Knights have got the Pep Club To some , Pep Club seems like the most important club here at S E From it , the cheerleaders , shirettes , and officers are chosen. For some, this is a very negative thought , for others it is just a way of
generating spirit.
Although membership is down for the club, they still have the highest amount of members and activities than any other club in the school. Among their activities for this year were pizza parties, father-daughter and mother-daughter games, pregame dinners and the annual Homecoming dance . When asked why so many members dropped out this year, Sophomore Kathy Holscher said, "It was a lot of fun, but became too demanding and took up too much of my time for other things " To stay in Pep Club , the members had to earn a certain amount of points. They had to have a total of 25 to stay for the season and 35 if they wanted to try out for cheerleading or drill team. The breakup of points is 15 for attendance at sports events, 5 for signs meetings , and 5 more for Pep Club meetings "I think we were a lot more organized than the past few years , we were smaller but better, " said Pep Club president Barb Paulson.

WINNING three superior ribbons was only the beginning for the Varsity cheerleaders at clinic this year They received the Award of Excellence , a spirit stick, the Super Squad Award and were voted one of the top six squads out of 60 at the clinic
Varsity started off the new year with something different for the pep rallies The rallies all had a theme such as: a Hawaiian rally , a 50 ' s rally, and an overall rally To show some extra spirit, they also organized a car rally before the Varsity football game against Northeast
The Varsity cheerleader squad was r esponsible for attending all Varsity sports events , planning pep rallies , and promoting school spirit
President Nancy Nuernberger said, "Our new sponsor, Mrs. Frost , took a real interest in everything we did " She also said, " There was such a variety of abilities ; it helped us work well as a squad Everyone was dedicated in their own way "
Pat Atwater said , "I really enjoyed the experience and it will help a lot when I try out as a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader ."

WHAT is fuzzy, black and gold , and shakes with enough power to outdo an earthquake? Still can't guess? It's Porn-Pon "S" The porn squad is a subdivision of Pep Club. The group is made up of 20 girls and 5 alternates It was off to a slow start when no one signed up to participate Denise Topi I said of last year ' s squad, "I think it got a really bad reputation A lot of people didn't like all the discipline "
This year it was changed Topil said, "We're not as strict on attendance, just as long as people are there "
Any girl who was in Pep Club was eligible to try out and was chosen by the officers on the basis of points and activities The group was there to promote spirit. They also sold pennants, had pre-game dinners and did a lot of practicing

WHAT can you do when your attempts at promoting spirit are met with such enthusiasm as bombardments of eggs and ice? Well if you ' re like the Yell-kings, you hang in there and never give up Carter Edwards, Scott Reifschneider, Mike Lautenschlager, and John Gradwohl were the 1978-1979 Yell-kings Despite the controversies that they met with during the opening of the fall sports season , the fans quieted down and the guys were accepted Lautenschlager said of the year, "At the beginning of the year I thought it would be easy, little did I know what was in store for me ."
Besides practicing during 7th period and attending pre - game dinners, they built a model Knight out of paper mache for further spirit promotion Lautenschlager added, "Yellkings was fun and I would do it over again if I could "
WHEN you're number two you try harder , and that's just what the 1978- 79 reserve cheerleaders did. The girls showed their unrelenting spirit in everything they did from leading cheers at reserve events to making signs to attending a summer clinic at the University of Nebraska to just plain old hard practicing
The squad was comprised of Marcia Beck, Ann Biggs, Corinne Col l ins, Ellen Fejfar, Sandy Harvey, Mary Schroeder, and Nancy Whitcomb.

Talented girls receive top honors at clinic
ALTHOUGH the Southeast Shirettes wear the same uniforms as they did five years ago , and do a lot of the same things a typical drill team would do , the 1978 - 1979 Shirettes had a talented squad and received many awards as both a group and as in• dividuals
The girls traveled to Ames , Iowa July 17-20 for a clinic to learn new routines and techniques While competing with groups from all areas of the midwest , the Shirettes won the home competition and were named the grand champions.
Standouts Barb Camp and Kim Davis rece i ved an award for all around best performance Kim Davis also received the Drill Down award , along with Genette Gibson
Iowa wasn't the only place the girls displayed their talents This year the drill team adapted to the pep rallies by making up routines to fit the rally themes They combined typical moves with the theme ideas which resulted in fun , entertaining routines . The Shirettes not only performed with porn - pons and gloves but they used pitchforks in the overall rally and used flashlights while doing a routine to the theme of " Star Wars."
Science teacher Cheryl Finley sponsored the girls this year for her first year " Miss Finley was good because she not only gave us a challenge but she took personal interest in each member ," said Captain Ann Zimmer

Administrators to implement recommendations
ONE of the most important parts of a school is the administrat ion They work long hours on the student's behalf They set goals , and do their best to accomplish them New goals were made re c ently.
Last November an outside team of edu c ators visit e d LSE as required by "accreditation standards " They reviewed the self-study findings of the teacher staff and parent-student representatives, and gathered first - hand data regarding the school.
The report focused on articulation. goals. climate and communication. It includes commendations , concerns and change recommendations in all of these areas Ways and means are being studied to let the student , parent , and staff know of these findings " It's our job to go back and implement them ," said Dr Wesley Lauterbach
Another area of concern at LSE was spelling " You'll do well if you can spell , " say the signs displayed throughout the halls Having all school spelling tests was an idea spun-off from the evaluation report. English Department head Mary Commers was coordinator of the spelling spree

Counselors delve into problems
ACT, PSAT, SAT , registration , family problems , student-teacher conflictall these problems and others are expected to be dealt with by the counselors Many students are unsure about their future, especially seniors To remedy the situation, counselors distribute information about colleges and trade schools which is personally designed for each student.
Counselors try to start early with career education ; sophomores go through a series of class sessions where career values are discussed This is geared to help the student find classes to take in high school and to help in career decisions. At these meetings extra curricular activities are also discussed.
On Nov. 12 an Educational Planning Day was held at Southeast The day was sponsored by East , Lincoln High , Northeast, · and Southeast. Many different colleges throughout the United States were represented , from Joseph ' s College of Beauty in Lincoln to Southern Methodist University in Dallas , Texas.
Don Darnell, Director of Student Affairs said that the counselors help students in " identifying their interests and aiding them in planning for and attaining realistic goals "

Tests: a not-so-bright part of life
ONE of the more popular activities in school are those wonderful tests All students have experienced the panicked and nauseous feeling of surprise quizzes
Students have the impression that the suffering is all on their part They must endure the agony of the mind going blank on a question But .what about the anguished teachers who spend long hours burning the midnight oil? Not only must someone make - up the test , the essay question ; but someone must grade it also. Imagine reading 35 essays on Thoreau.
" There are so many things to take into consideration " said substitute
teacher Melodee Owens " When you make-up a test , the wording has to be just right so there isn't a question in the student's mind Then you get the test back and if the student has done poorly , and he has truly made an effort, you feel as though you ' ve failed. If you know he hasn ' t picked up a book the entire semester , you feel angry when the parents complain of t heir c h i ld ' s low grades. Tests are very c omplicated. "
S e nior Chuck Reese has a solution to the problem. He said , "If teachers don ' t like making up tests and we don ' t like taking them , then why have them?"

[ Study hall used as laid-back period
THE student lounge, the courtyard and the library are three popular places to go during student free time . The student lounge offers a relaxed atmosphere where you get together and talk to friends while munching on your favorite snack , and maybe, if you can concentrate with all the noise, get some homework done.
The courtyard and south hill provide another laid-back atmosphere. " It's nice to get out of the walls every once in a while," said senior Penny Frank. In these places the student has more room to move around and more air to breathe. Frisbee and football will live forever in the southeast courtyard , or at least until study halls are abolished
For those students who prefer tamer surroundings , the cafeteria and library provide a quiet area to study, read , or as some students do , catch a quick forty winks on the library couch.
Study halls give the student a much needed breather after numerous class periods Whether you take off in your car or make use of one of the areas listed above , study halls seem to be the periods that go by the quickest.

Speakers brighten "problem class l
SOME students say that speakers enhance the learning atmosphere Interesting lectures have the ability to make a typical class not-so-typical. One of these not-so-typical classes is Modern Problems , taught by B i ll Stephenson and offered to seniors only. Stephenson utilizes speakersexpe r ts in various fields - instead of textbooks to inform students about th e problems of our complex society.
" Having speakers is much more st i mulating and our speakers have been outstanding, " Stephenson said. He jokes that they have had everyone from an ex-inmate to Donny Osmond speak to the class. This variety of speakers includes : Gary Caradori, private investigator ; Jim Hurley , parolee on a murder sentence; Lowell Gaither , chaplain at the regional center ; and Eric Umland , K-Mart security guard.
" The class is real popular , " Stephenson said , " probably because it is so d ifferent "
Senior Veronica Larson said , "The class is informative, revealing, interesting and really down to earth I recommend it to anyone ."

Lid bi 11 defeated
ON November 7, 1978 Nebraska voters shot down Legislative Bill 302, commonly known as the "lid bill," by a margin of 55% to 45%. Many attribute the bill's failure to strong organization on the part of the Lincoln Education Association (LEA) ,
who called on the Nebraska Education Association (NSEA) to form a statewide delegation Indeed, much opposition came from southeast Nebraska, proven by a voter breakdown In Lancaster County, the percentage against the bill widened to 64% against-36% for

Monitors preserve peace
halls
"I LEFT my pass in the bathroom."
Students often use this excuse when they have no pass , according to Cleo Scharf , administrative aide to Mr Eaton. Scharf works with teachers to prevent disruptions in the halls while classes are in session These hall monitors stop all students who can't provide a pink pass explaining their presence in the hall.
" Some students show they are able to go where they say they are going and come back And some never return, " said Scharf "After a while you learn which ones you can trust and which ones to look out for."
Many students resent not being able to move freely through the halls.
Junior Paula Perry said , "It's aggravating when you just want to walk to the bathroom and they stop you and ask you what you ' re doing "
However , others feel as junior Brad Buffum does, who commented, "I think the hall monitors are doing an excellent job and should be continued ."
As Scharf explained , " With 1,685 kids, you need rules ."

Requirements change approved
THE class of 1982 will have a few more classes to take than is now required
On Feb 1 2, The Board of Education approved a set of new graduation requ i rements which were drawn up by a committee of over 100 teachers and admin i strators from all the Lincoln schools
Rex Mercer, assistant principal of curriculum said , " Basically there won't be much change in the classes that students will be taking We ' ll still offer the same courses that we did before ." Mercer also said that he is positive about the new requirements . " They meet our learning goals more closely than before," he added
The new requirements don't change the 150 minimum credit hours needed to graduate, but they do increase the required credit hours from 70 to 92 .5 . The main emphasis is on students' reading Fifteen hours of reading will be required However , most students will be able to test out of that Also , a test can be taken to waive the ten hours of math re-
quirements
Whereas before , the same coursE offered at different schools coulc have totally different content , now a l four high schools in Lincoln will offe the same required courses and wi l have about the same content
In January, a student poll wa i taken to measure student opinions i r certain areas The poll showed mo s people were in favor of the chang E. However , when Shield interviewe, Southeast students at random t h general feeling was summed up b junior Jill Simonson who said, " doesn ' t really affect us at Southea i now, but I feel sorry for my l itt l brother ."
A parent / teacher respon s meeting in February found pare nmostly i n favor of the requiremen t They hoped the stronger r , quirements in high school will lea d : stronger requirements in junior h ig 1 In general it is felt that the new r , quirements will allow students to i better prepared for college and 1 > work after graduation

FITTING into a larger school of 1700 students was one of the main problems sophomores faced this year as they came from three junior high schools.
Club involvement was one of a few solutions sophomores took advantage of Foreign language clubs,
vice-president; Beth Cuva, secretary; and Mike Hager, treasurer
Mr Jerry Harkrader, sophomore class sponsor , said, "I think class officers is a good program Sophomores start planning for their next two years, juniors organize fund raisers and Prom , and seniors dis-
Clubs capture sophomore interest
athletic clubs, and various others attracted numerous sophomores. The group which attracted the most sophomores was Pep Club
Less than six weeks into the year , sophomore class officers were elected. Cho'Sen were : Charlie Meehan, president ; Jackie Merritt ,
perse their leftover earnings from the past two years
Meehan Sqid the only thing the class officers needed to do was raise $50 for the year Meehan also stated that the officers planned to work a concession stand for one of the basketball games

The comment was made about Campus Life but could be applied to other organizations including Young Life, Boys' FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), and Girls' FCA All have the same goal of learning about Christianity while maintaining an informal atmosphere
The major difference between the
organizations, according to Ke n , is the crowd they attract. People te r d to choose one group , and de d ate themselves to it, rather than be r me members of several groups

SPONSORING the Father-Daughter dance and selling concessions at football and basketball games were two ways the junior class made money this year . According to President Stu Kerns the junior class had more money than usual allowing them to lower the cost of prom tickets. Preparations for Prom, which is always sponsored by the junior
load than sophomores and seniors, and had jobs after school. Also many took an active part in clubs and activities.
A definite lack of time in juniors' schedules could explain why the PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test) scores dropped. English scores seemed to be the lowest, and for this reason many juniors signed
Juniors-what it takes to be #1
class, began in January
Sponsor Bill Stephensen said the class officers worked well together and they got along " great ."
Kate Moran said, "This year's junior class was very involved There were a lot of leaders and enthusiasm.
For most students the junior year seemed to be the busiest. Many juniors tended to take a larger work

Venture: a valuable learning experience
A SOCIO-DRAMA group working together to imporve intercultural sensitivity and awareness through meaningful entertainment and workshops is what the two - year group called Venture is all about.
After a one-week workshop and training period in August 1978 , about 35 students and teachers from the Lincoln Public Schools developed skits and workshop formats to present to various groups
The themes behind the skits included such topics as sex role stereotyping, prejudice , family problems , and problems centering around school administration.
According to Bill Erickson , Venture sponsor , "Venture attempts to identify controversial problem areas for high school students , things that are too easily pushed under the carpet Then we try to find creative ways of asking kids to deal with those issues
Junior Paula Perry said, " Venture " has showed me that deep down everyone has a prejudice It really helps if these feelings are brought out and dealt with in our group and ourselves. "

Masonic groups confuse outsiderr
"A WHAT meeting?"
According to Laurie Larson, many of her friends say these words when she says she's going to a Rainbow meeting.
Despite the increasing recognition given to youth groups, Lincoln's Masonic-oriented youth groups-Rainbow Girls, Job's Daughters and DeMolay Boys-remain somewhat in the shadows
"I think a lot of people are confused by us because our organizations are secret," explained Rainbow Girl Lisa Rebensdorf "Only once you join can you understand what these groups are all about "
"In Rainbow, we have girls from across Lincoln," said Cindy Arvanette, "and we all participate in service projects, like visiting the elderly, and fun projects, like waterskiing."
Although Jennifer Fager knows of 15-20 girls from Southeast that belong to one of the 6 Job's groups, called "bethels," she likes Job's because "it's a great opportunity to meet other girls from surrounding schools " Job's Daughters learn important lessons on good and evil by studying the Book of Job in the Bible.

FOR many years now, increasing pressures and responsibilities have been placed on teenagers. Seniors especially feel the burden of decision-making situations, for as they reach this final year of public schooling , they encounter the dilemma of "Should I go to college?" , "What college is right for me?", and " What do I major in?"
tached to a college degree Many feel it is the key to success in the world of employment Combine this with a natural desire of parents to want the best for their children , and most seniors feel compelled to go right from graduation to college. " Both my parents went to college,
Seniors handle pressures
Counselor Ellen Williams said, "I really respect students because of the responsibilities they take upon themselves. "
As senior Fl i nt Calvin said, "It was totally left up to me whether or not to attend college "
There is, of course , a stigma at-

There is no doubt that our society emphasizes the importance of being able to support one ' s self With all of these pressures, it is no surpr ise that many high school students are choosing to further their education.

Intervention program informs
THE counseling program at Southeast offered much guidance to students throughout this past year, yet a special need was expressed for more assistance on drug awareness and misuse, including alcohol.
The people who showed their concern for such a program were students, their parents, and other members of the community . To fill this need, the School Community Drug Intervention Program (SCDIP) was started at Southeast. A few years ago a similar program was started, but a lack of organization ended it.
Through the program, second semester sessions were held at Southeast every Thursday in room 263. The sessions were voluntary and were "to provide a forum for discussing kinds of experiences and problems facing drug and alcohol use," according to Doug Wagner.
Wagner is a counselor at Full Circle, which is a drug treatment facility offering resident and outpatient counseling and drug education classes. Wagner's involvement with the program was to work through Southeast and Full Circle He attended each session and worked with the counselors at Southeast to achieve the SCDIP's main goal, which was drug awareness.
Wagner, 38, has a PhD in history and psychology He has worked with young people and their drug problems in many agencies. Such places include Omaha, the South Bronx in New York City and an Indian Reservation in South Dakota
This was the first type of program within the schools that Wagner had worked with , yet he felt that he could relate well to the students These were his feelings because of his social experiments with drugs and much in-depth study on the subject
Since the parents of the community had shown concern about drugs, the SCDIP included a session for parents It was held on Feb 15 and had "a very good turnout , " said counselor Ellen Williams She also added, "The parents listened intentively and were very questioning afterwards."
Speakers for the parents included Peg Brown from the Lincoln Council on Alcoholism and Drugs, Topher Hansen from the Drug Crisis Center, and Wagner
The whole program informed many people , which was the SCDIP ' s main goal. For as Wagner said, "We can ' t wipe out drugs, but we can make people more aware and knowledgeable about them."

Top seniors recognized by National Honor Societ 1
SCHOLARSHIP, character, service, and leadership are the four cornerstones that National Honor Society is built upon
To be eligible for the society, it is necessary for one to be in the top 25% of his / her class at the end of five semesters, making scholastic achievement the main criteria
After the top fourth of the class is determined, points are given for grade average, service, and leadership These points are based on a standard set by the Student Council Honors Committee . Service and leadership points are given for any activity or officer position directly related to Southeast Publication staffs, sports, Student Council , debate, and drill tearn are among the activities that receive the highest amount of points This is due to their constant representation of
the school. Points are also awarded for being members of clubs , band, or any thing else that's related to school functions. The maximum number of points awarded for service and leadership is 50.
After all the points are tabulated the top 15 percent are the ones that qualify for National Honor Society.
Character is also considered Some students may be kept from being on the society due to serious moral or citizenship deficiency. A disapproval requires a written statement by a teacher, which is then considered by a faculty committee However, this doesn't happen very often. According to Don Darnell, assistant vice principal, in the past 25 years, only~ or 7 kids have been kept from being on the society.
This year, the qualifying students were recognized at a honors con-
vocation on March 7 They recei w ja certificate and wore the traditi c 1al sash throughout the day.
According to Darnell, Nati c 1al Honor Society is one of the most , i tstanding forms of recogition a : udent can receive. He also said tha 1 r' s accepted as a way to honor stud f ,ts in over 25,000 secondary schoo l in the U S However, some students :el that it's too easy to make He ,or Society because all class subject s ,re weighted equally instead of g il ng more points for academic class e "I think they should take into c ,nsider.ation the difficulty of he classes," said senior Amy Ball. But, according to Darnell, the 1 ople who are eligible for Honor So c ety are the ones who take acad E n ic courses anyway, so giving addit i· nal weight to these classes would roduce the same results

A way to learn about caring for delicate things-Social Living students dress-up eggs and carry them around for an entire day
Course helps students know themselves
WE LIVE in an era when teenagers are exposed to many conflicting values and confusing experiences. An increasing number of seniors find the thought of graduation and being on their own frightening As such, many seniors enroll in Gladys Helm's Social Living class, which focuses on coping with life
The class covers life from birth to death. Pregnancy, a child's reaction to his / her surroundings, and dealing with death are topics included on the class schedule Students also learn about their strengths and weaknesses by taking personality tests
" Besides taking tests, the class has rap sessions , " said senior Carrie Grant. ·we talk about things like child abuse, drugs and living with someone ."
Helm utilizes speakers, like grandparents, who tell how things have changed since they were young, and representatives from Planned Parenthood.
"Since students don't remember everything they see, hear or do, we try to combine all these aspects for greater comprehension, " said Helm

Epilogue
JUNE 1978 to June 1979
Twelve months that brought us news of the lid bill, the bottle bill, M r. Bill and Billy Joel; of " Macho Man " and " Superman. " In Iran they cried , " Down with the Shah" while i n Nebraska they cried , " Up with the drinking age " "Grease " was the word , but oil prices became absurd. Music buffs chose from the likes of " Devo " and disco. All eyes focused on the birth of one baby named Louise in England , but quickly turned to Guyana to learn of the death of Rev Jim Jones and the members of the People ' s Temple The Vatican gave the world the names of two popes Two new popes withiri one year?
Unheard of Carter ' s clout climbed at Camp David And thanks to the power of television, " Kunte Kinte" and " shazbut " became household words
Such was the news outside of Southeast , but what of the headlines within the school ' s walls? Did it prove to be yet another year of excellence , or was this standard of high quality just a fantasy in the minds of a yearbook staff?
In the world of sports, Southeast had one state championship team and several individual state champions The athletic di r ector was named as one of the best , not in the state, but i n the nation , and the boys ' golf coach was recognized as one of the
best in the state. The football team carried a no-loss record-a first for the school's football history Not to be forgotten was the basketball team and its miraculous performance at the end of the season Twenty-two athletes received All-City nominations and five were members of AllState teams.
