J. 0-Benson 7 7 Nov. 11- T. J. 6-A. L. Th e Yellowjackets opened the 1936 Football sea on, September 11, in a most dismal manner, being defeated 7-0 in a furiou s rain-storm at Shenandoah. A muddy ball handicapped both team s, so little could be judged abo ut t heir playing ability. Coming back strong, September 18, T. J. took Glenwood into camp with a 21-6 victory. Wrig h t made the first Yellow jacket touchdown wh il e Couppee tallied twice. Cogley, r u nn ing 80 yards, made Glenwood's lone marker. The Yellowjackets journeyed to Denison, September 25, "'here they :received a shellacking at the h a nds of Bob Saggau and Company. The T. J. team wa incapable of breaking away from Denison. Wright made several Jong runs but was unable to score. A w ek later, October 2, t he Bluejays, of Creighton Prep, handed T. J. a defeat w ith Ols en scoring t h e Yellowjackets only counter in a 27-6 game. Thi score came early in th e first quarter after which Ziesel, Creighton's star back, cored two Bluejay touchdowns. Prep exhibited a dazzling passing attack in the second half to manufacture two more. l!Jcrober ro~6 ZDhe ctAfonticello Saturday afternoon , October 10, the Yellowjackets routed th e Iowa School for Deaf Boys to the tune of 32-12. The I. S. D. team was small but had plenty of fight and gave their larger foe a good game. Thomas Jefferson's next foe was North High of Omaha. The teams met, October 16,1 and for three long quarters it was a nip and tuck battle, with Gotthold of T . J. and Dunlap of North leading their respective teams. Then the break came in the fou rth quarter, and North went home with a well earned victory . The Yellow.iackets found Fremont a bit to big a chunk to bite off, falling b efore a clever passing attack, 9-6, October 23. Fremont's scores came as the resuit of a pass and a safety. Thomas Jeffe:r.son's lone tally was the result of an intercepted pass. The following week, October 29, the Yellowjacket s thoroughly trounced a large, but helpless, H amburg eleven with a final score of 32-0. Thomas Jefferson opened the game with a long pass to Wright who galloped o ver fo r the first counter of the game. This fir t touchdown was fo llowed by several others , one a 98 yard run by Wright. The other m arkers were t h e res ult of clever laterals and s pinner pl ays. The Benson Bunnies invaded the Yellowjacket field, November 6, and after thre cm a r ters of hard football, Brown of Benson, galloped 70 yard s for t h e winning touchdown . This gam e was one of the roughest th:) Yellowjacket p layed during the sea on. In the last game of the 1936 sea ·on , the Yellowjackets bowed to their perenial rivals Abraham Lincoln, on Armistice Day, November 11. The score was A. L. 7T. 6. A toug h one to lose by one point. The game was characteristic of the games the two schools pla y with hard fig hting and eagerness exhibited on both sides . The Abe Lynx touchdow n came as a result of two passes, Tennant to Friar. T. J. fough ~ th eir way, down by dow n, to th e seven y~rd line wh ere a line plun ge n etted the YellowJ acket tou ch-down.

It was then followed up with, "Well. what did you do?" The instant reply was always, "Noh" and "Not much." but we knew that everyone at one time or another during the summer did something . Junior Kris Long took up a ho.b by called ultralighting. She said it is similar to hang gliding. She became interested when her brother tried it and she hod her chance to do it this summer at the Council Bluffs airport. Junior Jeana Ulmer walked beans on her aunt and uncle's farm. She also babysat and made about $300 . Some were involved in unique adventures, while for others vacation didn't consist of getting away from school. Some girls diligently practiced for cheerleoding. and Porn Pon or sports. And the boys "worked out" for upcoming sports. Sophomore Unchu Kong said that she spent her summer at Porn Pon practices and managed to find time to do some swimming . "I worked out with weights at school, home and Nautilus." junior James 13aotz said . Senior Kim 13ockert and sophomore Erin O'Grody both said that their summer was spent ploying softball . " I mostly ployed baseball," junior Steve Koehler said . Some hod goals for the summer to make money. Senior Rod Nichols worked at 13udget Rent-a-Car. Other jobs ranged from fast food to construction , but all were a beneficial way to l~eep busy. Senior Melinda Price held down two jobs. She life-guarded at Wilson and spent her time working at McDonald's. "I mostly worked at Tish's Eats and Treats," j unior Cheri Moore said. Junior 13onnie Kesselring said that she worked at Omaha Western Printing during the summer. To some, summer vocation meant on actual vacation. Whether it was a visit to the nearest amusement pork or an outof-state trip . Many students chose thi·s for their break from school. Moore took a trip to Okoboji for Porn Pon comp and visited Adventureland . Senior Kevin Mower said he went to Los Vegas to visit relatives . 4Summer Boys involved in track attended the State Pentathalon meet at Ankeny, Iowa. They went on their own time to compete, during the summer. Senior Rick Taylor practices for competition in the hig h jump. Junior Gory King said that he traveled to Texas to visit relatives and also sow a Houston Astros game. Lost but not least, there were those who just "bummed" around . Senior Rusty Armstrong said, " I just did a lot of lounging around ." These people practiced the art of sleeping until noon , to its fullest extent. "I got hool~ed on soaps when I was in the hospital for my appendix surgery," senior Tonya 13ell said . She added that her favorites are "The Young and the Restless, " " All My Children, " and "General Hospital. " Junior Patty Vogt underwent on operation to straighten the bones in herfoot . She spent the better half of her summer resting her foot and lounging around . As students watched August come to an end, some were even excited and preparing for school to begin . Vogt said that she was looking forw ard to her classes and couldn't wai t until school began . Copy by Jill Carste ns Two m e mbers o f the camping club.

No sooner hod school started than things began to buzz bo th inside a nd outside Tee Joy. With Homecoming just around the corner, the Jocl~ets started to wonder who would be crowned queen and who's the special someone that they would be dancing with the next night. It wasn 't much later and Snoboll was held one very cold and snowy evening on December 1 7 . When Snoboll ended we could hardly wait for Twirp . There was quite a d if ference between Prom and Twirp but no difference in the memories they provid ed . Twirp was Morch 24, and Prom was April 27 . " It's a good chance to see the other side of people outside of on academic setting ," said junior P.icl~ Smith . Thunderous cheers and music shool~ the rafters of the Jocl~et field house more than once . Applause for guest speol~ers and coaches alike joined in the rocl~et .

Many of the giggles centered around the l~ing, ployed by junior Mori~ Smith, who wasn 't able to speol~ . but did his shore in communicating . The young maidens were sure of that. Viewers of the production, especially those in the front row, will probably remember the "moot" scene . This scene featured junior Kathy " Princess Winnifred " Pierson , who continually fell into the moot, because of her clumsiness and unprincess-lil~e behavior. Just when everyone who occupied seats in the front row dried off, another splash and spray of water come from the notorious moot.

" Pep assemblies help boost school spirit and get the team ready to ploy boll ," sophomore Curtis Prudhome said . "13efore the Homecoming game the pep assembly united the student body and told the football players that we were behind them no matter what, " said junior Jeff Kindschuh . "This year's pep assemblies weren't always what one might consider peppy . Some of the afternoon assemblies were quite dead . No one seemed to be fired up for the night's game ," said sophomore Craig Jostorff. "Assemblies ore beher in the morning because there is more participation ," said junior Monico Reid .

"I guess I studied between two and three hours ," senior Cheryl Sitzler said . Tests also were a major port of a student's grade . How well they did on tests , showed the student's l~nowledge of the subject. English teacher Jane Howard said she gave major tests every month and quizzes usually every day. Junior Lester Johnson, who was in the college prep curriculum , said that in some classes he tool~ tests every weel~ while in others he hod exams about every two weel~s. With classes and school being an every day port of life for most, some students found it to be a monotonous, day-in-day-out sort of thing .

Twirp lasted from March 19, through the 2J, with the dance being held on the 24 . During the wee!~ , each day had a theme and every lunch hour had special activities . Monday was inside-out sweat day and Tuesday went bod~ three decodes to the fun -filled 50's. Wednesday was a day when one could wear just about anything and still be categorized as a punl~er , a valley girl , or a concert lover. Although Thursday was not a typical beach day, shorts, sunglasses , and beach towels were seen all over campus . On Friday, the students and some of the teachers went bad~ in time almost two thousand years to the days of the toga. Sheets ranging from traditional white to the Peanuts Gong were seen everywhere . The Powder Puff football game was canceled because the fields were too wet. The dance on Saturday, March 24, was held in the fieldhouse.

One thing for sure, this production was to be a final tribute to someone who had dedicated J1 years of his life to Tee Jay, Mr. Fanders. The production consisted of a two-act program with all l~inds of performances . They ranged from dances to mimes to interpreters . Senior Cindy Sierra, who was on interpreter, said that the ploy was oil about life, about growing up, learning and maturing.

The theme of Prom was 'Just Between You and Me,' and the bond "Slicl'i" provided the music. Junior class officers and other junior class members decorated the UNO f3ollroom on Friday around 1 p.m . On Friday, a lot of the students checl'ied out of school early or they just did not bother to come . For the girls, the main reason was to get their hair done, hove a manicure, or just rest up for the big night. The guys , on the other hand, had to wash their cars and try and get them into better shape than they hod been all year. Prom Queen was senior Tom my Shomblen and King was senior Don Swotel'i. Juniors Paulo Brown and Kendall Clemens were crowned Princess and Prince , respectively. After Prom , most couples went out to eat. Popular restaurants were Mr. Cs , Brother Sebastian's and the Top of the World . Once dinner was over, many of the students went home and changed into 'normal' clothes and then left again for a game of bowling or to a party. If they were traveling east on !3roodwoy they w ere most likely stopped by police roadblocks . The police were checking for drunl'i drivers. " Prom was super neat," said junior Margaret Davi s.

After 12 years of hard wo rl~ they were fin ally at the top . Graduation seemed far away in the distant futu re as summer ended and school began . During the first few weeks of sc ool not many seniors were thinking of future plans. but as the year progressed . the prospect of life after school was con sidered . " I plan on settling into a place of my own and finding a full -time job and maybe toke some night school classes ." said Chris Andrus . The options available were narrowed down to a possible four: college, a tulltime job. settling down and starting a fam ily , or the armed forces . For those college bound students there still remained the question of: what college to attend, how to pay for It and what to major in? " I w ill probably attend the University of Iow a . It hos a good computer program," soid Cynd i Pierce . For those job -hunting senio rs, where to apply, and how to m a nage all that money that's going to be rol ling in became a major concern . For some. m arriage was in the near future . Senior Sherri McGarity Franl~s was one such student. "Marriage and school weren't as hard as many people think, as long as you have support from your family , friends, and husband ," said Sherri.

With guys wearing earrings and pink shirts and girls wearing ties and men's long jackets. everything's going co-ed . "It's fine as long as each person wears the styles in good taste and according to how they were presented, " senior Rhonda Neill said. It used to be so "out" for guys to wear ties on any but "necessary" occasions . Now, guys wear them to accent on outfit or spiff up a pair of jeans. It went "ditto" for the girls . They, too, wore ties to bring out the color and flair of on outfit . Senior Robert Leitz said , "Ties odd dignity to people whether they ore girls or boys ." As for dressing up, girls sometimes wore miniskirts Chemistry and Algebra teacher Agnes Spera sits at her desk with the chemistry class mascot, Manny the Mole. Ms. Spera shows her school spirit by wearing her orange Tee Jay sweater, which many of the teachers did on days of games and assemblies. sometimes to dances or just as a popular outfit for weekends . Junior Lisa Harrison said that the minisl"iirt was brought back from the 1960' s because of the need for a change of pace . Several styles of pants were the vogue of the season . They went from wall"iing shorts to the cropped below the knee lool"i, to the full -length slacks . The woll"iing shorts were usually of corduroy or wool and were worn with wool argyle or coble-l"init socks. " I wouldn 't wear woll"iing shorts , they're fine on other people but I would feel uncomfortable," junior Shelli Abshier said . 131ouses and tops were as different as each student at Tee Jay. Lace and ruffles were still "in", but so were the bright prints of red, yellow, aqua and hot pinl"i. Polka dots and stripes went along with these bold colors . " I think the brighter colored blouse hos a preppy lool"i to it and odds color to any outfit," sophomore Down Turk said . Guys often wore the college look of oxford buttonedcollor ·shirts in many colors - but both genders shored the some lil"ie for crew neck sweaters. 13ig and boggy with argyle designs and bright colors, they were often worn over polos and oxfords. Junior Dione Clark said, " I find the bulky sweater look more comfortable than the tighter sweaters." An outfit isn't complete without the final touch, shoes . With girls, it seemed that pumps were a favorite when dressing up . Penny loafers, top-slders and flat moccassin shoes were also W<;)rn with a variety of outfits. Guys also took an interest in the fashionable lool"i of penny loafers and top-siders. Guys and girls alike often went bocl"i to the most comfortable pair of shoes they owned, their ten nis shoes .

With the weather changing as often as people change their underwear, it was very hard to build up a resistance against the age old problem of red noses and the sniffles .

At Thomas Jefferson w e hove had our own Einst!ei ns who have fou nd their own remedies to help cure different symptoms of this ogoni z·ng illness of the "Common Cold". 1 Sophomore !3ud Petry commented , ·:1 drinl'i 0 lot of liquids and stay in bed until I absolutely hove to get up ."

To show school spirit and achiev e th is involvemen t, many students became active in one or more of the many clubs and organizations Tee Jay had to offer. Clubs were early mornings , late nigh ts, jobs to pay for the added expenses and many new-found friends . !3eing involved tool'i lots of worl'i and had its price, but it p roduced good results and strong friendships to lost a lifetime . " It helps the school . I lil'ie to ge t involved ," said junior William Arellano . Many clubs were directly in the eye of the Tee Jay publ ic.

They learned new steps and competed for several awards . Those who attended comp brought home a spirit sticl'i and the most spirited squad award. Porn Pon sponsor Don Hansen said , " I thought the girls performed extremely well. " Besides performing , the squad helped with Special Olympics, and the C.13 . P-eloys . In March , the girls sponsored a clinic for junior high and high school girls. They taught a dance, l'iicl'is, and ways to stretch out so muscles wouldn 't be pulled . The clinic was a way to mol'ie money and hove an opportunity to meet girls who wonted to try out for next year's squad . " No one ever realizes the hard worl'i and effort put into being a member of th is squad," said junior Lori Neumann . Getting to school at 8 : 10 was a tosl'i for some people , but not for the Tee Jay cheerleaders who hod to be at school by 6:.30 for practice . The girls came in pajamas , with hot rollers in hair, or curling irons in hand.

During the days they were at camp , the girls learned jumps , chants , and mounts to give them new and different ideas to assist them during the school year. " Being a port of the squad gave me a chance to meet new people and get involved in school activities ," said sophomore Jill Aldredge . " Next year there will only be one squad for fall and winter sports , because of the ordering and learning problems that the winter cheerleaders were facing, " said cheerleoding sponsor Don Hansen. The letters PPl3 and CLP don't mean a lot to the average student , but to a Porn Pon girl or cheerleader it meant decorated locl'iers, gifts, cords, and notes . The letters PPl3 and CLP stood for Porn Pon buddies and cheerleading pols. At the beginning of the year the girls chose names at random and l'iept it secret as long as possible .

Two college prep students who were asked about the new math and science program weren't aware of it. "I don't think it will get more students to sign up for more (science and math) courses," Laura Jensen, senior, said.

It is that of Assistant Principal • Steve Hardiman. Among the. d i s c i p 1 i n e changes this year since Mr. Hardiman has been here is not being able to sign out "Like a boy coming home," Mr. Hardiman commented about being back at Tee Jay this year as the assistant principal in charge of discipline. He is a 1969 Tee Jay graduate, and he also was a science teacher from 197 61982. "He is very familiar with the students and they are more familiar with him," commented Principal Gaylord Anderson . without p a rent permission, even if a student is 18 or older. Another regulation that has changed from last year is the unexcused tardies. After the second unexcused tardy the student receives a detention. Mr. Hardiman was the head wrestling coach and also an assistant coach for football while he was a teacher.

Two Editorial 'Ihe Signal .Sept. 30, 1983 The Bear Hug Students -give up sign out right By Jim Hug Year by year, the administration seems to tighten its grip on our Council Bluffs community high schools. For instance high school students were converted to a seven period day, last year. Students were required to t a k e planned courses of study, asked for more credits to graduate, and short day was taken away from sopho- mores and juniors. It had become quite evident the admin sitration was cracking the whip. Most recently, Principal Gaylord Anderson and assistant principals Steve Hardiman and Don Moxley decided to strip students 18years··and-oldcr of their right to sign out without parent permi ssion . The reason for this, according to Mr. Anderson , was because " too many students were usin g us," along with th e idea parents want to keep track of their children . Testing requires seriousness For anyone planning to pursue an education beyond high school, one important thing to keep in mind is the importance of testing. These tests occur dur1 ing high school and are usually known as the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and the American College Test. The value of these tests can never be fully understood. They aid in planning a future career and perhaps earn a scholar- ship. These exams must be taken in a serious and scholarly manner, for they lead you into the door of academics. To obtain information, counselors are always a valuable source. They are able to familiarize you with the whole procedure of test taking. With all of this in mind, students may be able to get a start on plans for the times to come and hopefully bet t e r themselves and others George H.

Thank you, Co-editors-in-chief Sept. 30, 1983 Same school has new look Changes have also come in the special education program. Some students who \Vere in programs at the Rose Kennedy school were transferred here. According to Krista Maxe, special education instructor, the main purpose of the program is to bring the students into an environment that is not segregated and to bring them into the working world. Room 215 has been remodeled for the program. "It's better for the group activities with the carpeting; it also cuts down on noise ," Miss Maxe said. The school as a whole took on a new look, being completely painted this summer. By Rich Hunt and Jill Stivers Many things change over the years . Tee Jay is no exception , over the summer the school took on a few changes of its own. Dorothy Morse, librarian , said that the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company (3M) installed a security system to stem the flow of books disappearing from the library. According to Mrs. Morse, th e system has two gates, an entrance and an exit. The exit has a device to detect if a book has been checked out; if it hasn't a buzzer beeps. This will help keep books that are out of print and can't be replaced from being stolen . "Creighton and the University of Nebraska at Omaha had the same system installed , and they cut their book loss by 75 to 80 percent." Mrs. Morse said. Abraham Lincoln also had the 3M system installed. With a cost of $18,000-$20,000 the system is expected to pay for itself in a couple of years, Mrs. Morse added. Steve Hardiman, assistant principal, said, "It is a sad commentary on everyone that the library has to resort to these means to keep the books in the library."

That isn't true when it's spelled Def Leppard. Along with one new member, Leppard has returned with an arsenal of firepower unmatched by their fellow heavy metal hellions. New Dimensions Pyromania offers a fresh angle of hard rock and roll. This takes the shape of strategically timed keyboards and a refined vocal approach. Added to the heavy riffs and blistering guitar solos, this high tech formula explodes with "Rock of Ages"' I and "Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)." No Comparison Unlike many groups of their genre, Leppard presents a more widely acceptable brand of rock. This is characterized by "Photograph" and "Too Late for Love,'' both Top 40 chartbusters. Here, the razor-sharp edge the barrd developed over the last two albums is not eclipsed by a shroud of keyboards. Instead, a CMI Fairlight Computer brilliantly accents the band's music and Joe Elliott's vocal attack.

Phonogram Ltd. left by Pete Willis, taking charge as lead axeman along with founding guitarist Steve Clark. Veteran experience As a "behind-the-scenes" veteran, Robert John "Mutt" Lange employs more than his production skills. Every song on the Pyromania LP credits Lange for songwriting participation , whereas the previous High 'n' Dry album is written exclusively by the band. The Pyromania tour (which began early this year) has become one of the biggest arena attractions of this decade.

Two Editorial The Signal October 14, 1983 The Bear Hug No soap creates messy situation By Jim Hug Getting to the men's restroom during a school day is a task in itself. An average high school student makes anywhere from one to three bathroom stops in a typical school day. An embarrassing situation is the result. Most girls walk down the halls as if they don't have a care in the world, but then there is usually a good supply of soap in the girls' lavatory. bring some soap from home and keep it safely stored away in a locker. But don't tell anyone it's there. If somebody wants it bad e nough , they may tear your locker door off to get to it. Few teachers allow students to go during class even in e m e r ge n c y situations. Otherwise, if the student is in pretty good physical condition , he or she can sometimes make a pitstop during the five minute passi ng period. If you think you will have to visi t the restrooms during the sc hool day, try and put mother nature on a schedule in which these visits fa ll during a pass ing pe riod . Even if you are one of the select few and have gotten to the restroom, alI is lost when one looks to the sink and fi nds no soap. T his is largely responsi bk fo r the bathroom always being torn up. A football player doesn't stay composed when he hasn't noti ced the lack of cleansing agents until it's too late and his girlfriend is waiting to hold hands down the hall . .... a. Policy locks o ut studious students How many of you students have found yourselves coming to school early to get an assignment done, but have not been able to get into the building? That's be cause the doors to get in the building are not opened until 7 :55 a.m. Oh yes, you can get into the student lounge, cafeteria and gymnasium, but are these areas adding to one's education? According to Principal Gaylord An de r son , a teacher's work schedule is from 8 a.m.-4 p .m. Mr. Anderson said, "We want to help people." According to Mr. Anderson, if a person has to get in , he can. How many of you. have noticed the sign on the library door? '' L i b r a r y hours 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m." Dorothy Morse, librarian, said, "If students have an assignment to do, they must get a pass from another teacher and come through shipping (janitor- ial entrance)." Two years ago before the change from six to se ven periods, homeroom did not begin until 8:25 a.rn. That gave a student more time to get work done, or ask teachers for extra help on an assignment. Why not change a teacher's work schedule to 7:45 a.m. until 3:45 p.m.? Te a c h e r s, administrators, is this a lot to ask for the purpose ofhelping students with their education?

Last year's newspaper staff received the top rating from two national critical evaluation services. · According to Doug Muehlig, The Signal adviser, the two top awards received were the George H. Gallup, presented by the Quill and Scroll Society, and the All American award, given by tqe National Scholastic Press Association. Mark Leonard was managing editor of the newspaper. The paper also received an award from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, which gave the staff the second highest rating in its evaluation - a first place certificate. This is the first year in the 30-40 year history of the Quill and Scroll competition that the George H. Gallup was awarded to a Tee Jay staff. Out of 475 entries only 80 school papers received this award this year. Each year the staff applies for different awards. For the George H. Gallup award the staff was given the award for its outstanding work on a sixpart curriculum series, which was run in last year's paper. Brian Woeppel and Gary Blackford, 1983 graduates, wrote the series. The paper was also evaluated on coverage, policy guidelines, writing and editing, display and design and business practices. The five different categories were worth a varying number of points \Uith a possible total of 1,000 points.

"School papers from around the United States were judged by professional journalists and university professors from different parts of the country," Diane Roberts, Quill and Scroll office manager, said. The quality of papers was much higher this year. U sually only about 10 percent earn the Gallup award. According to the Quill and Scroll judge, "The Signal staff has some real strengths, especially in the coverage area. In general it appears to be a lively newspaper which serves its student body quite well." The NSP A gave the staff four out of the five possible marks of distinction to receive the All American Award . To earn th e All American the staff needed to receive either four marks of distinction, or marks in all five areas. The staff received marks of distinction in coverage and content, writing and editing, design and photography, art and graphics. The single mark not received was on opinion content. During the last seven evaluations by the NSP A, the newspaper has earned six All American ratings, according to Mr. Muehlig. "Dave White and his printing students do a professional job of printing for us," The Signal adviser said.

But for Senior Jayne Surber and Junior Mike Madsen it is just a part of being in contention for the national waterskiing championship. In water ski jumping you are being pulled behind a boat going 30 m.p.h. Then you make a counter cut to pick up speed. (Counte,r cutting is cutting from one side of the boat to the other.) "This is where you pick up your speed," Surber said. The 'pop' When you hit the ramp, you spring off your legs to get the most distance you can. This is getting the "pop." Surber is currently ranked sixth in her age group in the nation with a jump of 107 feet. Madsen is ranked ninth in his age group in slalom and tenth in jumping. Slalom is skiing on one ski going t h r o u g h a special course. Mike's farthest jump is 135 feet , just seven feet short of the record in his division. Surber has been skiing since age four and competitively since age ten. Her first year she placed third in the nation. Mike has been skiing since age two. Practice for Surber means going to Des Moines all summer, practicing all day at Pickett Farm Beach Lake with coaches John and Jimmy Flemming. Madsen gets up at 5 a.m. to practice with his family on Carter Lake. After graduation Surber plans on attending college in Lousiana. This will enable her to ski all year. Nea.r mark In the Midwest, Madsen is at the top. The record for jumping in Madsen's division is 142 feet. Madsen's farthest jump in competition is 135 feet. The record 1s held by Sammy Devall. Madsen's sister , Sherry, commented , "He is at the top - right up there with the pros." To turn professional a skier needs to jump 126 feet. Madsen has already beaten that, but he has no intention of going pro. If he decided to, he would be ineligible to compete in amateur competition, in any sport. DJ.A.

Mr. Mains added, "The team had several close matches." There were six girls out for golf, including Seniors DeAnna Kahre and Linda Reed. Showing hh fonn is Senior Dave Sollazzo, as he captures the singles and doubles titles in intramural tennis. (Photo by John Faust) Juniors on the squad were Chris Mcintosh, Tammy Logan, Angela Lantz and Diane Clark. Mcintosh said, "We didn't do real well, but we had a Jot of fun." In the spring the golfers will play against Iowa schools only. Winter swim team needs members Heading into the Missouri Valley Conferen~ meet t~ morrow at Lewis Central, Swimming Coach Mike Hale is looking for more girls interest·!d in swimming to come out for the winter season. With only _eight girls participating duri~g fall swimming, Coach Hale said 14-16 girls are needed to fill a team for the winter season. Mr. Hale is urging anyone (boys and girls) interested in swimming to attend the first practice on Nov. 7. Of the eight girls out this fall only three returned from last year. They are Seniors Melinda Price, Linda Reed and Junior Missy Strehle. "I think we are doing really well, except for the lack of participation," Price said. The lack in numbers of participants may be the reason why the girls' swim team is 0-5 in duals. Another reason might be, because the team is inexperienced, except for four members who have participated in swimming before. "I think all of the girls have improved a lot, but (Sophomores) Kelly Meekins and Laura Faust's times have been coming down the fastest," Mr. Hale said. Sollazzo wins net titles By Jeff Marcks Despite having only 15 people signing up for intramural tennis, John Kinsel, physical education instructor, said the competition was "competitive" in the first intramurals activity of the year. In boys' doubles competition Senior Dave Sallaz zo combined with Junior Steve Koehler to defeat Seniors Jeff Waters and Jeff Martinez 6-4 in the final match. Sollazzo also defeated Junior Tim Navarette to win the boys' singles 6-3 . Sophomore Angie Brayman was the girls' singles champion, while J u n i or s Monica R e i d and Chris Meyer teamed to win the girls' doubles title. According to Mr. Kinsel, the next intramurals will be either wrestling or a cross c.ountry marathon.

The Principle of Moments, Plant's second post-Zeppelin LP, is much more melodic than any in the Led Zeppelin discography. Space and Light "In the Mood" and "Thru' With the Two Step" invite a moody keyboard setting accented by a soothing guitar. "Wreckless L o v e ' ' and "Messin' With the Mekoo" are both very intense, but the delivery is different than his early days with Zep. Pictures at Eleven, Plant's first solo album, sounds much more like Led Zeppelin than his new album. "Horizontal Departure" and "Other Arms" are the only new songs that dimly reflect that former sound, while "Big Log" presents an al- most new wave drumming style. ·Expert assistance Robert Plant is accustomed to performing with excellent musicians. Having the association with guitar great Jimmy Page and the i_m mortal John "Bonzo" Bonham, Plant now confides in a different set of musicians. He has Jinked up with longtime friend Robbie Blunt on guitar and has once again lured Phil Collins of Genesis onto another record. Exotic addition Making a brief cameo appearance is Barry Barlowe of Jethro Tull. Barlowe's e x o ti c drumming style adds a strange lope to the s p a c e - a g e "Stranger Here (Than Over There)" and sets the pace for "Wreckless Love." Emotional transition Be f o re Bonham's death, Plant's three-year-old son died of illness that same year. Moderate rock a pleasant change By Kevin Mower How long does one night last? According to the title track of Bonnie Tyler's Faster than the Speed of Night LP, about four minutes. In the music world of blaring guitars and amplifiers pushed to their utmost limits; Tyler's soft to moderate rock sounds are a pleasant change. Tyler and her band demonstrate several types of music styles, from ballads to soft rock to reggae, handling each in a surprisingly well manner. Tyler is supported by an excellent band as well as excellent back-up vocals. Most of the back-up vocals are done by Rory Dodd, who does a duet with Tyler in "Total Eclipse of the Heart." In one song, "Going Through the Motions," Tyler is assisted by a children's choir. With a very well-rounded group able to switch music styles easily, the future holds much promise for Tyler. **** The principle of moments states that when parallel forces · are in equilibrium, the moments clockwise equal the moments counterclockwise. Plant's shattered view of the transience of life has taken him from the dark fury of Led Zeppelin to an album full of space and light. Not only has the music around him changed, his own vocals have gained a new depth that the first six Zeppelin albums lack. The Principle of Moments has spawned Plant's first solo tour. He is currently touring the United States and is poised to strike England.

The Ninth Grade Study Committee has made the reeommendation t h a t the ninth grade students presently in the junior highs to th~ two high schools. The recommendation was given to Superintendent William Lepley. Public hearings will be scheduled to take p 1a c e within the corning months in order to give the public a chance to ask questions about the recommendation according to Ray Newberg, assistant superintendent and chairman of the com- l . lit•• ~'. mittee. After the meetings Superintendent Lepley will then present the recommendation . to the Council Bluffs School Board for approval. If freshmen make the transition ot high school, Tee Jay would undergo some changes in construction and policy. A new gym, complete with locker room facilities would be constructed along with additional ~lassrooms to accommodate the increase in student enrollment. A staff increase would also be planned. Graduation require- ments would also change. There would be additional credits needed to graduate. Some policy changes would be made, but. they would be gradual and no one really knows presently what they would be according to Steve Hardiman, assistant principal. This choice was made after two years and 21 Ninth Grade Study Committee meetings, in which four proposals were reviewed, according to Mr. Newberg. The committee was made up of 20 members, including 13 private citizens, and it was formed to decide on the possibility of having the ninth .... ..... ··. ") ~" VoL 62, No. 3 grade taught in the high schools. One proposal under review was to just leave things as they are. Another proposal was to have the seventh, eighth and ninth grades attend only three junior highs: Wilson, Kim and a third large junior high to be constructed. Still another proposal was to have the junior high grades remain as they are, but move all the junior high studen~ to Wilson and Kirn. This plan included some construction on both junior highs. According to Mr. Hardiman, the money for the accommodations w o u 1d not come from a tax increase, but from school funds already saved. "In the beginning I was against the proposal," Mr. Hardiman said, "but it was the majority opinion and I gradually began to see it their way."

According to Mrs. H awkes, this year a letter is being mailed home before the conferences , instead of letting the students take them home themselves. Also an advertisement is being run in the Council Bluffs Nonpareil's Seen and Heard section and possibly even an announcement on the radio station. The Booster Club has the goal of calling each student's parents to Jet them know, Mrs. Hawkes said. "We're hoping for a problem with too many parents attending the conferences," Mrs. Hawkes said. A committee of teachers was then formed to come up with a solution. Members of the committee were the following teachers Ed Rhodes, Terry Todd, Charles Crouse, Cindy Whitney, Garry Bannick, Mary Daley, John Gibson, Tom Vincent, Julie O'Doherty and Mrs. Hawkes, Mr. Anderson said. During the last teachers' in-service day, held Oct. 12, the members of the Parent Conference Committee divided the remaining Tee Jay teachers into groups of seven or eight and discussed the plans on the decision, Mrs. Hawkes said. "It'll improve the relationship between the parents and taichen," Mr. Andenon said. Two The Signal Editorial Law gives fines to jaywalker What would you do if you came home from school with a ticket in your· hand for jaywalking across Broadway? People who first hear of being ticketed for walking across Broadway in the middle of the street usually have a negative attitude and ask why authorities would do such a stupid thing. Teachers aren't enough basics. "I think it's bad. It's almost as if we're being treated as little kids," Junior Steve Andrews said. Although it may be poorly thought of, the enforced law does have some logical reasoning to it. In the past Tee Jay has had students both hit and killed from crossing teaching According to Assistant Principal Steve Hardiman, "This is only being enforced to ensure the safety cf the students." So before we laugh at this so called silly rule - first think of your own sa fety and remem ber past happenings.

Not enough homework. ~ Broadway Street illegally. ::::=::::::~ ~~d 1=) Homework: is it enough a~ready? Dear Editor: I was somewhat disturbed by the article, "No Soap Cn7' ates Messy Situation." The implication seems to be that it is the ad.ministration's or the janitors' fault that there is no soap in the boys' restroom. The janitors did put soap in the rest rooms a year or llO ago. Students used it for everything except sandwiches. It was used to write obscenities on the mirror. It was used to mark the walls. It was used on the floor for skating. It was in the stools or urinals along with the toilet paper. You wondered what kind of places these people came from. They certainly had no respect for their school, their .fellow students or themselves. I think in self-defense the administration or janitors thought it might be well to withdraw the soap until students grow up enough . to be trusted with it.

Diane Kelly Sue nee Tina llanleJ' Oct. 28, 1983 The Signal Feature Drama cast plays in fairy tale Once upon a time there were 28 students and two directors. This year the drama department is presenting the musical, "Once Upon a Mattress." It is bei ng directed by Drama Instructor John Gibson and Music Instructor Jerry Brabec. The musical is derived from the fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea." The play has taken the fairy tale and added music, dance and humor. It was first produ ced with Carol Burnett cast as Princess Winnefred. "When I read the musical, it hi t me," Mr. Brabec commented. "111is is the one." Mr. Gibson had made a li st of about 50 other musicals and "Once Upon a Mattress" was the chosen one . "This year there was no problems in casting as there has been in the past," Mr. Gibson commented. A minimum of 40 hours will go into rehearsals, according to Mr. Brabec. This does not include time spent pract1cmg and memonzmg lines outside scheduled times. A production not only takes time, but money is also involved. Approximately $2,000 will be spent in making props and costumes, according to Jerry Brabec. The props, of course, will include an abundance of mattresses and a small pea. Junior Jackie Hall, Lady Larkin in the play, said , "If we work hard and practice enough , we can all live happily ever after." · Members of the cast of "Once Upon a Mattress" are shown . .

Marcks W it h · fr~shmen possibly coming to- ·Tee Jay as early as next year, many facilities need to be repaired. The track and tennis courts have seen better days. Athletic Director Don Moxley said repairs to these facilities plus others will "still be needed whether t h e y (freshmen) come or not." According to Mel McKern, supervisor of buildings and grounds, such repairs need to be included in the budget which is planned by the Board of Education in J anuary and February of each tB!d:hJ., 'YWMm_ paired last year. He said he was "under the impression it would be fixed this fall." But before repairs are done to a facility, principals of the schools need to propose that the facility be fixed to the Board of Education. Then the major repairs, or the most necessary repairs are figured first, according to Mr. McKern. Although one-third of the school (seniors) will not see the drastic changes - requests to repair the track and tennis courts at Tee Jay are needed. It is just hoped that when repairs are evident, they are not just put aside. The senior class may not be able to see the changes, because of graduation, but give the other classes a chance to benefit from the faciliti es being repaired. 2312 w.

Mr. McKem said that two years ago around $17,000 was s p e n t repairing Council Bluffs Stadium. The track was also lengthened and converted to a meter track. This, according to Mr. McKern, cost more than it would to just overlay the track at Tee Jay. Mr. Anderson said to the best of his "knowledge," the track's finish ch u t e was patched this past summer. Cracks Bob Nielsen, physical education teacher and boys' track coach, said, It's "dangerous to long jump." There are big cracks with weeds growing out of them. The only needed repair Mr. Anderson could see was the track appears to need to be "lined." The tennis courts are also in poor condition. Girls' Tennis Coach Mike Bond said, "It's embarrassing having to tell the other coach, 'if the ball takes a 'whacky' bounce on the serve, we'll play it over.'"

Indepth The Signal Oct. 28, 1983 Phobias - situations cause question of fear By Jill Carstens Working up the courage to talk in front of an audience during a class may seem impossible. Gradually, though , you may overcome this fear and learn to deal with it. Problems arise when a person never learns to deal with a certain situation, then this fear is no longer a fear but rather a phobia. Psychology Teacher Deb Pogerniller said, "sOme students have a hard time telling whether it's a fear or an actual phobia." Phobias defined "I shall define phobia to be a fear of an imaginary evil, or an undue fear of a real one," Benjamin Rush , known as the father of American psychiatry, said. A phobia is really an irrational fear. According to the book, "Fears and Obsessions" written by Joy Melville, although the causes of a phobia may differ, the effect on all phobics, faced with what they fear, is the same--varying only in degree. Some people are unabl e to detect the phobia. In "Nothing to Fear, Coping with Phobias" Fraser Kent wrote that phobias tend to appear gradually - so gradually, sometimes, that the person can't remember how or when it started. A Council Bluffs clinical psychologist, Dr. Ron Johnson, said th at an infant is born with a fear or insecurity. It's a matter of not overcoming the fear which makes people more and more afraid. Fears reinforced Fears are introduced at a young age and somewhere along the line are reinforced, a c c o r d i n g to Psychology Teacher Bruce Voigts. The causes of these phobias vary among people. A Council Bluffs private practice counselor, Elaine Wells, said that almost anybody, who has had a traumatic experience as a youngster, has had a fear never dealt with . This fear, then, may have grown out of proportion. It rarely makes a difference what kind of people are affected. Dr. Neil Olshan and Julie Wang's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Phobias" relates that for an estimated ten million Americans, phobias have become a way of life. "All types of people have this problem; it has no respect for social class, education, age, race or religious faith. It seems to affect women more than men· at least, women are more ap~ to seek treatment for it," according to "Nothing to Fear, Coping with Phobias." Survey of Fears What do people actually fear?

Currently a new t e a c h e r , with the Council Bluffs system, in his first year of teaching, is paid $13,000. Those with a Bachelor of Arts degree that have taught five years have a meager salary of $15,340. Studer.ts otten ignore or rather forget that many educators are forced to withstand unf. ·ir classroom tensions. Some students make it a hahit to turn the classroom into a place of disruption without discovering that the instructor is a major key to opening the door to learning and knowledge. M any teachers are often impelled to work other jobs, besides teaching, to meet their own fin ancial needs. One member of our faculty commented that he works two other jobs besides his own fulltime position. What first needs to be done, is the evaluation of educators. Their worth to the community and impact on the future also must be seriously considered. Anne's parents still had large medical bills. The psychiatrist bill alone was approximately $2,000 for eight weeks of therapy . Recently nationally known Pop Singer Karen Carpenter died of anorexia. Anne said when she heard about this she wasn't afraid of dying. "I don't think I'll die from it," she said. Anne has three brothers and a sister, but she said that she isn't worried about them ~tarving themselves, because they have seen what she has gone through. Today Anne is a junior here at Tee Jay. She still has to see her doctor once a month and now weighs 102 lbs. fully dressed. People affected Anorexia nervosa strikes one out of every one-hundred people, usually girls. According to Jean Teliander school nurse, it is a feeling' of insecurity and lack of self-worth. Anoxerics don't feel good about life. They see themselves as fat and overweight, when they really are not. Mrs . T ellander also said, "They are usually involved in school activities and are intelligent." Mrs. Tellander advises students that fear they are anorexic to talk to their parents or a counselor.

Along with Tee Jay there will be 14 other Metropolitan Conference teams, including two Lincoln , Nebr. , teams competing in the meet. Strong teams "I expect teams like Millard North , Omaha Westside and Bellevue West to do really well in the tournament," Head Wrestling Coach Steve Meade said. While Tee Jay captured fifth place in the tournament last year, Senior Captain Jeff Marcks said, "I don't think we will do as well this year, because of people we lost and the lack of experience that we have." According to Coach Meade, "We're way down in numbers. We only have 24 out for the team, when in the past we've had up to 40 to 50 guys." Coach Meade also encourages anyone with even a little bit of wrestling experience to come out for the team. Returning lettermen for the STUDENT AID. It takes more than brains to go to college.

Students may have to get jobs to help support their families , pay for cars or save money for college. In a recent survey Tee Jay students indicated that they have other expenses, too. Some m e n ti o n e d dates, clothes, gas and food. Boys said they tend to spe nd more money on cars and girl-friends, while girls put a lot of emphasis on clothes. Ju nior Laura Gearhart, a Brandeis employee at the Midlands M all , said that she often sees T ee J ay students shopping there. Most students who have jobs put money in a bank. Jim Comstock of the Council Bluffs Savings Bank said that his financi al institution serves approximately 600 students from area high schools. "Full-time students receive free checking accounts," Mr. Comstock said. He added if a student goes on to college this service is continued. "I put half of my paycheck in the bank every week," Gretchen Buffington, a junior who works at Tish's, said. Senior Stacy Smith said what she puts in the bank depends on how much she makes. Seniors said that they have even more expenses than sophomores or juniors stating that class rings, Prom, graduation announcements, cap and '1t's rather difficult to get up for school alter you've closet/ the night before." Although she feels clothing prices are too high, she said clothes are important to a teen . "Everybody likes to dress nice," she said. Fo r some students, a job interfe res with their school work.

The compact disc player will soon become the newest addition to stereo cabinets everywhere, taking priority over cassette decks· and conventional turntables alike. According to Glen Henry, Stereo West sales representative, the disc is inserted either vertically or horizontally, depending on the model. 400 spins The disc spins at 400 rotations per minute until nearing the end of the side, slowing to 200 rpm's. Unlike standard turntables, the disc is placed in the player with the blank side up, shooting the laser beam through the disc, playing the material on the bottom. Compact disc players are manufactured f r o m many companies, ranging from JC Penney to Sony and Technics. The player's price tags also range widely, some as low as $350 to others on up to $2,000 . Super sound This is due to unmatched s o u n d reproduction and equally unparalleled ability to retai n that sound . No accessories These finel y-tuned precision instruments adapt into the auxiliary jack of any home receiver, requiring no special amplification. The phonograph needle has given way to a laser beam, rendering the disc unscratched ·play after play. Senior Deb Heistand is shown holding a compact disc, namely, the new album from Asia, Alpha.

A conditional use permit has been granted to the company and now the company has the option to buy the building, accordin_g to Council Bluffs Planning Technician Martin Fricko.

Two Editorial The Signal Dec. 16, 1983 The Bear Hug Frosh to invade homes of mice By Jim Hug Hickory dickory dock, The mouse ran down the hall, Through the student lounge, And into the cafeteria. ' There a force of approximately 12,500 gathered in the kitchen for their 4 p.m. feast. According to a spokesman for the mice, there are 2,500 mice - too many for the amount of space they are allotted in the building. Reason cited This has proven to be the reason many mice have been forced to show up around classrooms and other places beyond their jurisdiction, he explained. The spokesman pleaded for sympathy from the administration and cafeteria workers. "I know the ninth grade study c o mm i t t e e recommended to move freshmen to the high schools," the spokesman explained, "but for us it would prove to be catastrophic." "As for the hamburgers everyday," he muttered, "I've never been associated with such cruelty!" Appearing mice The appearance of mice around the school building is no secret to students or teachers. Marilyn Nielsen, business teacher, has had several experiences with mice around the school. "One time, there was a mouse running around the podium in the cafeteria during study hall. I calmly alerted Mr. (Doug) Muehlig by piercing my fingernails in his arm," Miss Neilsen said. "Later that same day, I saw another mouse come running down the hall and into my classroom. This was not the fast time I've noticed mice in my room," Miss Nielsen added. Nielsen liked When asked about this, the spokesman said, "Miss Nielsen should be flattered. The mice have probably just taken a liking to her." Concerning any arguments declaring mice as being a problem around our school, let's look at it this way. It is all part of a man's ability to survive in harmony with his environment in order to make the world a better place for all living and breathing creatures. 155Pffti0ft tdls!ar a• ss s -- c:~~~=--- ~ Detention invents dramatic cures Dear Editor, I can't understand why in the mornings if you happen to be late for school and your mother knows about it, even by writing a note you are still considered late. I think it is pretty bad when your mother has to lie deliberately just to keep you out of detention by saying something like, "My son was sick, but by some dramatic cure he was feeling better and decided to come to school at 8:15." I think if your mother knows you are going to be late and will write you a note the attendance office should accept it. Sincerely, Jim Petry Senior NSPA All American Winner Quill & Scroll George H.

Senior Wrestler Bill Wetmore feels he can improve his chances at a lighter weight. Wrestling Co a ch Steve Mead said that he doesn't require or have any type of weight loss program for his wrestlers and leaves the decision of weight Joss up to the athletes. Coach Mead believes that a wrestler can do better to drop from, for example, 135 lbs. down to 131 lbs., but an excessive drop in weight is not smart and will probably hinder the wrestler's overall performance. Dr. Rick Grahn, Sports Physical Therapist, at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, said that excessive weight Joss by any athlete in any sport is dangerous, because of the chance of the athlete becoming dehydrated.

Sugar Auburn -vs- Sports-A-Ray Florida -vs- Iowa Cotton Georgia vsTexas Sun Southern 1\-tethodist -vsAlbama Rose Illinois -vs- UCLA Orange Miami -vsNebraska Kendall's Comments Michigan is solid on offense. But Auburn is solid all over. The Tigers will roll to an impressive 27-10 victory. Auburn will fumble anywhere from three to five time.s in this game - thus fumbling the game to Michigan 31-24. Auburn's been one of the top teams all year long. They will roll with an impressive win over the Wolverines 3514. Iowa will have to have a great game from Chuck Long and Owen Gill. In a close game I'll take Iowa 27-24. The Florida Gators could make thls game interesting since they're playing at home. They might even stay in the game, but I doubt it. Iowa will roll 41-19 . Thls will be another close contest, but with the Hawkeyes having five All-Big Ten players, Iowa has a slight edge over the Gators 24-17. Texas has the number one ranked defense in the nation. The undefeated Longhorns of Texas will suffer their first loss of the season with a disappomtmg offensive effort. The defense will also let the Longhorns down as Georgia will triumph 24-13. Number two ranked Texas has the best defense in the nation, but a very pitiful offense. I'm looking for the Bulldogs to pull the upset in this game 20-17. SMU lost one game this year, that was to second ranked Texas. The Mustangs are great on offense and will roll over the helpless Crimson Tide 31-20. An impressive S o u t h e r n Methodist team will take out its vengence on Ray Perkins and the Alabama Crimson Tide for not being invited to a major bowl game. Mustangs 34 Tide 17. SMU, with only one loss to a number two ranked Texas team, deserves a bigger bowl bid than thls. The Mustangs will win over an impressive Alabama team 24-12. UCLA has played better and better every week. The Bruins' weak point has been the offense. Illinois' awesome offense will prevail 3017. UCLA will need lots of big plays to win this one. The fighting Illini will just be too tough winning 35-24. The Bruins have been hot after a disappointing start, but the Fighting Illini are on fire. With a number five ranking Illinois will prevail 27-14. Nebraska un!:>eatable? Wake up "Sports Illustrated." The Nebraska Cornhuskers come into Miami having played the easiest schedule in the NCAA . But the Huskers are rated No. one and should at least pull off a one point 28-27 victory over a spirited Miami Hurricane defense. Awesome, is the only way to describe the number one ranked Huskers. Mike Rozier will take the wind out of the Hurricanes. Miami's h o me field advantage will mean nothlng as the Huskers will win big 48-17. Michigan Gator Bear Hug Georgia is tough again this year.

"We have to work hard and improve defensively to win," Coach Nielsen said. Assistant Co a ch Wayne Mains said, "We need some more offense from our seniors." He added that Junior forward William Arellano and Baxter were improving well and showing some leadership qualities for next season. Blum said, "We're going to have to be a running team, use our speed to our advantage and play good defense." Slow start Although the team seems to be off to a slow start, Leonard commented, "I think we will be a good team before the year is over." Madsen said, "Ii's going to take quickness, speed, and desire to get some wins this season." By Randy Gallup Speed, quickness and defense. These are the words heard about the boys' varsity basketball team this year. Words like these will have to compensate for problems such as· lack of experience and height on the ten man team. The Jackets square off against Omaha Bryan tonight at Bryan and will host always tough Omaha Creighton Prep next Tuesday. Bryan is coming off its best season in the history of the school as the Bears ran to a 14-6 mark. Helping out the Bears is All-Metro First Teamer Floyd Brown. Lack experience Lacking experience is one problem, according to Head Coach Bob Nielsen. There are only two seniors out for the team this year. They are Jay Blum and letterman Kirk Madsen, .who are both guards. The other returning letterman is Junior Matt Leonard, at center. Tee Jay will play Omaha Benson in the first round of the Metropolitan Conference Holiday Tournament on Dec. 26 at 11 :45 a.m. at the Omaha Civic Auditorium. Leonard stated that he and Junior Randy Baxter, a forward, are the tallest ones on the squad at 6-2. The Jackets started out its season with losses to Lewis Central and Abraham Lincoln.

Broadway Council Bluffs Ten Entertainment The Signal Dec. 16, 1983 Seventies superstars make eigh By Tim Creek Now a vague memory, rock superstars of the seventies have been nudged out of people's minds by fresh , new acts. It is unusual for an established band to follow popular new trends, which makes the reformation of Yes especially triumphiant. Strong effort Led by the crisp, high vocals of Jon Anderson and the forceful but elegant bass of Chris Squire, Yes has recorded their strongest record to date. The album is 90125, titled after the catalog number before the LP was even completed. These songs have expanded the Yes of th e seventi es with technology of the eighties . Higher quality This results in a better sounding finished product, especially when a m p I i f i ~ d through a set of headphones . "Our Song," largely written by Jon Anderson , sounds like the Yes of the past with a tasteful t w i s t of today's sounds. The o n 1 y instrumental piece, "Cinema." bears an incredible resemblence to the music of Genesis, with Alan White leading the way on dr.1ms and percussion. i----- 1e. ·• Gu itarist Trevor Rabin revived. the sitar, a popu1ar stringed instrument 10 to 15 years ago. This is used on the song "It Can H appen," referring to the band's popualrity through the lyrics. "Changes" is a smooth blend of both old and new. reflecting the hit "Round~ about" at th ~ beginning, but backed by hai:-der drum beats and a revitalized guitar. ' . Mystical music All of the group's mystic and magic culminate with "Hearts," the last song on the LP. Founded with intricate timing between Squire on bass and 'W'hite on drums. the song affords equal balance between lyrical quality and the band's musicianship. Vocal strength The vocals have always been Yes' strong point. There is no change with 90125; all members sing except Keyboardist Tony Kaye. This reserves Jon Anderson's inspiring voice for strong passages throughout the song, giving each song a luster of its own. With old bands like The Hollies, The Animals and now Yes back in the music scene, new groups will have to struggle to prove them***** selves.

Two Jan. 27, 1984 Ediforial New rules may break old a its By Jerry Wajda Smoking has long been a controversial i s s u e in the United States, and soon it will also be in the spotlight at Tee Jay. Next year the railroad tracks behind the school will be eliminated as a place for students to smoke. This will be quite a change for those students who light up because there will be no place for them to smoke on or around school grounds. Smoking is currently prohibited on school property. There is currently a state law that prohibits the school from setting aside a designated smoking area for students. A committee here at school has been s~t up to study the situation and to help ease the transition that takes effect next year. This committee is made up of 11 staff members, Principal Gaylord Anderson said. This is an interesting situation. The school system does not want to condone or encourage smoking by the students by allowing them to smoke on the tracks. According to Mr. Anderson, the aim of the change is not to stop the students from smoking, but to stop them from smoking at Tee Jay. If done callously or incorrectly, this move by the administration could be a definite mistake. It could cause the smoking population of the student body to rebel against the faculty and administration. It could ea~ily cause more I 1Th4" si1..1 NSPA All American Winner Quill & Scroll George H.

This is the first story in a series to be published, that will try to deal with some of the questions and problems of the peopJe involved. This story contains the opinion of the writer. The main reason for the move according to Superintendent of Schools William Lepley, is because of the declining e n r o 11 m e n t at Bloomer, Longfe11ow and Edison Junior High schools.

Once again this has been the situation at Tee Jay this winter. The reasons, according to Head Cu~todian Max McGee, are that the heating system is outdated, the insulation around the building is inadequate and it is extremely difficult to equalize heat throughout such a large building. The current heating system consists of a boiler system that is approximately ten years old and a hot water heating system added onto the main heating system when the west wing was built. The new wing is now in its eighteenth year. This equipment is extremely old and breakdowns have been frequent, espec• ially this wihter when the temperatures dropped well below zero.

This often seems to be the case when most students stand in line for 15 minutes and eat for five'. It doesn't seem to make a difference whether lunch is eaten at our supposedly convenient ~afeteria, or at one of the nearby restaurants, such as McDonald's. Everyone a!fected Junior Sue Kaufman said that she feels there should be a little more time. One of the reasons for this is be· cause she eats off campus. It seems that teachers are just as much affected as stu· dents, because most are scheduled to teach classes fourth h o u r . But most teachers don't wait in line, t~ncl to slid~ up to the front. According to Principal Gaylord Anderson, up until two years ago, lunch per· iods were 20 minutes long and there were four lunch hours. N o w , there are three lunch periods, 25 miw utes long. Mr. Anderson said, .. I feel they have sufficient time, and I've had no com· plaints about it." Solutions cited This issue should be looked at more seriously and really evaluated. Perhaps, a new scheduling process should be considered with an extra five minutes for each per· iod. Maybe by a process of overlapping periods, the problem might head toward a solution.

Mrs. Pogemiller said the stoff didn't have to pay a fee to use E.T., because permission was granted. Credit for th® drawing goes to Senior Dnryn Richardson.

The 1983 yearbook received 235 points out of the 240 possible on the contest's grading scale for the structure category and 50 out of 60 possible points in the creativity area. In the 1982 annual all issues of The Signal, the schoot newspaper, were printed in the back, but the staff decided not to print them for the 1983 edition. This got mixed reactions, according to Mrs. Pogemiller. Color photos Two other changes were the larger size. of the senior pictures and the use of more color photos.

To some "graduation" is a welcome word in their vocabulary. What's strange about these cases are the steps that have led up to the promotions. Some students have decided that they would like to graduate at the end of their junior year. One such student is Junior Betty Waschkowski. Waschkowski said that she felt she needetl some sort of inspiration. She said, "It motivated me to do better in school, and it made me think that I had to do well, because this would be my last year." Another student who has decided to graduate early is Junior Janet Anderson. She has decided for different reasons, but she also hopes to get going with her life. According to Anderson, she plans to be married in July and hopes someday to get into the printing business . Tough to do "Don't expect it to be easy," is the advice Waschkowski gives to students want- Agnes Spera, chemistry and ing to graduate early.

But there is one sport that doesn't have a season, its competition lasts year round. Thl.'.t's boxing. The height of an amateur boxer's year from the OmahaCouncil Bluffs area is on Jan. 27 and 28 when the Omaha Golden Gloves boxing tournament is held. Senior Sam Greco was enteretl in the 119 lb. open class division and won his second city championship title. Last year Greco was the 112 lb. champion . Marie Greco, Sam's mother, said that she didn't have to cook him anything different in order for him to gain more weight "Sam took care of all of that himself," Mrs. Greco said. Ken Wilgo trains Greco nine months out of the year. Mr. Wilgo said the reason Greco moved up in weight was because last year he had a hard time making the weight limit. On the first night of the Golden Gloves Greco won by a technical knock out, while on the second night he won by a decision. "He's improved 50 per cent," Wilgo said. He has trained Greco for five years. Greco's father also helps him train. If Greco wins the Midwest Golden Gloves, held at the Civic Auditorium on March 2 and 3, then he will go on to Nationals in St. Louis later that month. Wilgo said that Greco has no plans to turn pro now, although he may in a couple of years. 2312 w. Broadway Co1ncil Bluffs, la. Hours: 8-6 Mon.-frl.

"I think we'll have a few swimmers and one diver who could qualify for State. We have a possible relay team that could make it, too," Coach Hale said. The girls' State season was during the fall, while the girls compete against Nebraska schools and Abraham Lincoln of the Metropolitan League during the winter. As of Jan. 2 7, the boys' dual record was 2-5, while the girls bad a 0-4 mark. Coach Hale :;aid, the boys' team is strong in all events, but a problem is deptil after the top swimmers. The boys' team has set several records this year. Senior Keven Ferguson has obtained two individual records, while Senior Jim Hug has earned one individual mark. .

But participation in athletics at Tee Jay have dwindled tremendously in the past two years. Take this winter, for example the boys' basketball team started with 31 athletes and are now down to one senior, ten juniors and 13 sophomores. The wrestling squad has gone from 28,. the first week of practice to a low of 12. Currently it consists of two seniors, two juniors and eight sophomores. The swimming team, who has never had more than 11 in the past four years, has 11 boys in swimming and diving and has only four girls. Found home lronman Sponsor John Kin- sel said some of the athletes have gone to the wei.ghtroom. This weightlifting club is now at '73 members. Mr. Kinsel said abat\t 35 pe1·cent of them have been out for sports in t said. Co ~ Bond fo By st. Weights, w h i ch improve performance in any sport, should be part of a program for training for a sport. Many of the weight club members are looking forward to next year's football season. It is good these individuals want to develop themselves for this sport, which takes a lot of strength and endurance, but many will agree that another sport will help a person's endurance and strength. Sport helpful Mr. Kinsel, who is also an assistant football coach, said a sport is "more beneficial" for overall fitness. Mr. Kinsel said that weightlifting deals with only "one co m p o n e n t , ' ' which is strength. Whereas another sport will condition a person's cardiovascular system and develop strength and quickness. Could pan of the decline in winter athletic participation be caused by weight club membership? That is what we are trying to piece together.

A 21;2 hour debate was held in Des Moines at the Civic Center and contained more than its share of oneliners and criticisms of Ronald Reagan and his policies. Candidates who attended were Democratic frontrunner Walter Mondale, John Glenn, Ernest Hollings, Gary Hart, Alan Cranston, Jesse Jackson, George McGovern and Reuben Askew. Former South Dakota Senator George McGovern cited the question "Should the U.S. be the first country to commit itself to never use nuclear weapons?" Senator Cranston of California answered back simply by saying that the United States should abolish the weapons from the face of Reverend Jackson said that the earth. he believes in pro-choice reThe candidates then anlating to the issue of abortion. swered questions from four Sex education "I put more focus on sex panelists with Iowa backeducation," Rev. Jackson grounds. They were questioned on education, women's said. After opening comments, the contenders had the opportunity to aim questions at thei_r opponents. They discussed topics concerning the controversial issue of abortion, the Equal Rights Amendment, the nuclear freeze and the national debt. II News Analysis Each candidate expressed his own character and ideas m their opening speeches. They voiced their objectives clearly and concisely and rarely left any unanswered questions or holes in their plans. Senator Glenn of Ohio brought up the relations between President Reagan and the late Yuri A n d r o p o v , leader of the Soviet Union. He also strongly condemned the American position in Lebanon saying that t~e Uni~e~ States is involved m a civil war.

Women's rights Senator Cranston t a 1k e d about women's rights and said, "I learned as a young foreign correspondent in Nazi Germany, the rights of all are in danger when one minority is persecuted." With closing statements, the candidates, once again, stated their contentions and let the people of Iowa know that it was now up to them to make their decisions at the Democratic party caucuses held last Tuesday.

Previously, the Nonpareil published one of Neumann's poems and a magazine that had Iowa students' writings in it, also published a story she wrote, :i-r umann said. 0 Any s t u d en t s interested should submit their work for the spring edition of the magazine by next Thursday.

With Easter just around the corner, the thought of warm weather, spring sports and mini courses are on the minds of every sophomore and junior. Since the spring of 1974, mini courses have been "the big event" at the end of the year. For the past ten years they have offered a fun and relaxed atmosphere between the students and teachers.

Recently the archi tectural firm of Zenon and Beringer were hired to expand and rebuild the two high schools by the Council Bluffs School Board. The architects are now doing a study called the space utilization study, to see where space is needed, Mel McKem, Supervisor of buildings and grounds, said. Space needed Gaylord Anderson, principal, said , "More space is mainly needed for classrooms, lockers, a cafeteria, gym and TJ art seen through slides By Christy Donley Last year the art department produced a slideshow which was shown in Des Moines . This year the slide show moves to Kansas City's Crown Center April 13 and 14. Art Teachers Steve Peters and Joe McNamara- are the producers and presenters of the slideshow. The art in the slideshow represents work th at has been done by the students from the last four years at. Tee Jay. Every year the slides are updated to include ,.,. . .

Wide interest Mr. McNamara said, "We originally designed the slideshow to interest the students in the junior highs to get involved in the art program when they come to Tee Jay. The show is also for counselors, principals, other art departments and administrators to see what is going on in the art program at Tee Jay." Big honor Mr. Peters said, "Last year we took our slideshow to Des Moines, and it was received very well. Now we are invited to take the show to Kansas City, so you can see this is quite a big honor." The slideshow will be presented in Kansas City at the Mid - West Multi - State Art Conference with representatives from eight states. also vocal and band rooms." "Th ree million dollars is the estimated cost for both high schools," Mr. McKem said , "but the real cost may be under or over the estimated budget figure. " Break ground The date planned to break ground will be this July and is planned to be fi nished by August of 1985, Golden Zenon, architect, said. "We tried to schedule most of the building process when the students were out of school , so there will be less confusion ," Mr. Anderson said. start in March By Robert Leitz During the month of March the senior class officers will be asking for volunteers for the senior class graduation committees.

It seems as if laziness and "don't care" attitudes ]lave plagued students all year long. Tonight at 7 p.m., there would have been a performance of our Roadshow. The theme would h a v c been "Roadshow International," and it would have been the talk of the school for the following week. There would have been at least two pages of the yearbook devoted to pictures and coverage of the annual event, coverage by The Signal and perhaps a performance for Cablevision on Channel 17. Roadshow impossible It may have even been held without students throwing coins and yelling obscenities at the acts. But we won't know. Due to the lack of interest and the fact that only 12 acts even tried out made the perfor- Drama Director John Gibson called the situation "absurd." He said, "It's real disappointing, b e c au s e we've never had to cancel a Roadshow before." Other ·activities In past years Mr. Gibson said anywhere from 28-35 acts tried out for the allschool Roadshow. He said that this year it seemed like "too many people are involved in other activities." Of the 1058 students who attend Tee Jay, 12 acts were formed to try out for the Roadshow. Everyone else was too busy. That's really rather funny, because of the 12 acts that tried out, most of those people were probably the same ones you see out for three sports a year, or involved in every other extracurricular activity they can be. To be realistic, the amount of students who attend our school and really don't care what happens with school activities is mind-boggling.

Broadway Eight Indepth The Signal March 23, 1984 Frosh move: integration concern By Jerry Wajda With the ninth graders coming to Tee Jay in two years a lot of changes will take place, most of them dealing with the students themselves. One of the main concerns is getting the freshmen integrated into the mainstream of the student body and in this way get them involved in schoof activities, according to Gaylord Anderson,, principal. According to Fred Maher, principal at Woodrow Wilson Junior High, there will be very few problems with the move. He feels there isn't much difference between the ninth graders and the tenth graders in starting at Tee Jay. Maturity Mr. Anderson feels that there might be a maturity problem , but nothing that can't be dealt with. One of the ways of integrating the students that will be implemented is putting them into the homerooms along with the upper classmen . This way they can mix in and make some friends from other grades. Another way is having a freshman team for every school - sport and possibly more if the number of participants warrants, Mr. Anderson said. However, the students from the junior highs (in Tee Jay's case Wilson and Edison) must merge to one or two teams when there was at least one team for each school at the junior high level, Bob Nielsen, physical education, said . These teams will likely be competing with other fresh- men teams in the Metropolitan Conference League as Wilson and Kim's teams have previously done, according to Mr. Nielsen. According to Mr. Anderson an extra vice principal will be added to the staff and that he would be in charge of the curriculum. Additional counselor An extra counselor will also be added to deal with the extra influx of students. Jerry Brabec, vocal music director, was pleased with the extra number of students that the vocal music department would get, because of the ninth grade move. Some problems could arise, though. New music teacher Mr. Brabec is currently the only teacher instructing the vocal music classes. When the ninth graders are moved, an extra teacher will be required to take care of extra students taking the vocal music classes. John Gibson , drama instructor, was also pleased with what the move would do for the drama department. He doesn't think it will boost his numbers a lot, but it will give him more time to work with promising actors. John Kinsel, physical education, said that the main problem currently, is the inability of the building to house the students. Construction a savior "Hopefully that problem will be solved through the new construction," Mr. Kinsel said. Hopefully any other problems that come up will also be solved for the students' sake.

What dress should she get? For the past two months magazines have been advertising dresses and stores have their display windows filled with elegant dresses which makes the task of choosing one all the more difficult. A ccording to Diane Fisher, sal esperson at Cyndi 's Bridal and Formal Wear, the main fe ature girls tend to be look- ing for in dresses are ruffles. "Most of the dresses have shorter, puffed sleeves with ruffled necks," Miss Fisher said. Trends Another thing she noticed about the trend of Prom dresses is that girls an~ willing to spend a lot more money than they might have a few years ago. "A lot of girls have jobs and with their parents helping them out they've been buying dresses that cost $90 or more," Miss Fisher said. "A lot of th e dresses we modeled were worn with the sleeves off the shoulder and hoops were worn with the dresses, too," Junior Jeni McCormick said a b o u t the dresses she and other Tee Jay girls modeled for Salley's Town and Country. I mJjviduality According to Miss Fisher, individuality is another common characteristic among the girls looking for dresses since some stores only carry one of each type of dress. Brenda Hupka, salesperson at Brandeis, said that if a girl wants a dress that the store does not have in stock, it can order it for her. Salley's Town and Country also orders dresses for girls. "If we're going to order dresses, they must be sent in early enough, because they're sent to us from New York " Bea Jackson, salesperson ~t Salley's, said.

"He is a very talented man," Mr. Bond said about Mr. Panders. students who attended Tee Jay. Mr. Maines had Mr. Panders for English. "He always stays the same," Mr. Maines said as he compared being a student of Mr. Panders to co-working with him. Another teacher who has worked with Mr. Panders, other than as a co-worker is Jerry Brabec, music teacher. Mr. Brabec, a Tee Jay graduate, said he has worked with Mr. Panders since he was in fourth grade. He participated in a summer drama program Mr. Panders taught.

According to Mr. Fanders, "An Evening With Fresh Aire" is about a group of musicians who call themselves One item that will bring out the aristocrat in anyone is the services of a limousine. Some find this to create an impressive entrance at Prom, while attracting much attention from peers. There are several limousine services in Omaha, probably the cheapest being Cadillac Limousine on North 85th Street. Its rates are $18.50 per hour for a nine-passenger limo with unlimited free mileage, according to a Cadillac Limousine salesperson. The more expensive fees run up to $20 an hour plus 20 cents per mile for a mandatory 11/ 2 hour use. A Limousine Limited representative said that his firm has sevenpassenger limousines for hire at these prices.

"If we are ever going to do anything, this will be the year to do it, with all of the senior leadership," Soccer Coach Al Vandenberg said. Seniors return Some of the top returning seniors on the team, cited by Mr. Vandenberg, are Robert Leitz, Rusty Armstrong, Cha Hyun Lee, Rodney McClelland, Bill W e t m o r e and George LeBlanc. Coach Vandenberg, who has coached the team for four years, described the team as "the best team I've ever had." There are 12-13 players returning from last year's team, Mr. Vandenberg said. Last year's team had a record of 6-3-1.

The Jackets' next outing will be played at KimBloomer field against Papillion on Tuesday. Club sport Soccer is not a school sponsored sport and is still classified as a club activity. Coach Vandenberg said this means the players must pay their own league entry fees, pay for the referees and pay for their own uniforms. It costs the players a total of $45 during the season. Zennon Cup At the end of the season , the league teams with better records are invited to a tournament, with the final two teams playing in the Zennon Cup, Mr. Vandenberg said.

By Jeff Marcks Heading into a dual meet with Omaha Marian on Tuesday, the girls' tennis team will have its work cut out as Marian is one of the top girls' teams in the Metropolitan Conference. Coach Mike Bond said Marian, who finished in a tie for second in its Metro meet last year, will also be strong this season, along with Omaha Burke and Omaha Westside. Seniors Kim Anderson and Chris Donley and Juniors Chris Meyer and Monica Reid are the only returners from last year's team. Coach Bond expects them to be competitive. The girls are going to try to improve on a 1-8 record and a fifteenth place finish in the Metro meet recorded last year. Coach Bond said, "We've been able to practice outside one day," as of March 27, he said. "We've been practicing in the main gym." Coach Bond, in his second year as coach, said he has "more" depth than last year. He said, "They all have potential," but expects Laura Faust and Kelly Meekins to be the stronger sophomores on the squad. As for intracity competition, Coach Bond would "like to beat Abraham Lincoln again (in tournaments)." Unlike past years, Tee Jay will compete against St. Albert, which Coach Bond likes. He said, "It gives you another team to look at." Tennis team serving to win By Kirk Madsen "Strong as a team" is how Tennis Coach Mike Hoffman described this year's boys' tennis squad. Coach Hoffman said, "The last couple of years we have had some real good depth." He added that the Jackets are returning eight varsity lettermen from last fall's squad. Tee Jay will face St. Albert in a dual meet at Robert's Park on Tuesday. Mr. Hoffman said the Jackets are the defending champs at the Atlantic and City tournaments. He said, "A goal of ours is to repeat winning the two tournaments." Coach Hoffman added, "I'd like to see someone qualify for the State tournament on an individual baSis." The team posted a 3-6 record in fall tennis where it competed against Metropolitan Conference teams. In the spring Tee Jay will compete strictly against Iowa schools.

May 4, 1984 The Signal Indepth Three Costs rise for accommodations By Kirk Madsen With the ninth grade students in the School District coming to Tee Jay and Abraham Lincoln in the 1985-86 school year there are going to be several costly expenses to accommodate them. Costs for construction were estimated by the Ninth Grade Recommendation Committee at $2.5 to $3 million at the beginning of the school year. Since then the cost has taken a rapid increase. School Board President J a-Ann Carrithers said the estimated cost is now up to $5.5 million. Mrs. Carrithers said, "Of that money about $3.9 million will go to Tee Jay." The additional $1.6 million will be spent at Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. Carrithers said, "When the architects got involved they discovered many problems." Findings at Tee Jay proved that there were many old and obsolete areas which needed improved. New plumbing and electrical work was another area which needed improvement, she added. Do it right first time The School Board decided if the members were going to get into the building program to do it right the first ime, so they wouldn't have to come back at a later date, Mrs. Carrithers said. Construction is to be done in two phases. Some of the plans under the first phase call for a new fieldhouse, music department, library, more departmentalization of rooms New phase will alter personnel By Jill Carstens Along with all the changes in facilities, some alterations will also occur for personnel, concerning the ninth grade move to the high schools. A c c o r d i n g to Principal Gaylord Anderson, he has not been notified as to any changes that will take place. Council Bluffs School District's Director of Employee Relations Dick Christie said that as soon as the School Board and architects have a pretty good handle on every- thing, involving reconstruction, some decisions will be made. He reassured that the open teaching positions will be filled by teachers in the Council Bluffs School District. He said that it is a rather complicated process, and it takes a lot of time to get to this phase. According to Mr. Christie, there are two aspects of the phase. First, knowing what positions are needed and secondly, choosing the procedures to go through. Just.

The second phase calls for additional parking and athletic fields. The School Board recently purchased the land needed for this for $70,000. However money to develop the second phase in unavailable, Carrithers said. School House Fund A big question which people may be wondering is how the move is going to be financed. "Money fs available in a School House Fund or Site Fund," Mrs. Carrithers said. She added that this means there is no need for a bond issue or to raise taxes. In 1978 the community voted on a levy for money to be set aside in a School House Fund. The money would be available if the need ever came for expansion, renovation or construction work in the schools. Besides construction costs, one area which could be costly is bussing. PHOTOGRAPHY BY HOVINGA Phone 322-3422 Information provided by the Ninth Grade Recommendation Committee states that there will be 257 ninth grade students eligible for transportation to Abraham Lincoln. The number at Tee Jay is 54 ninth graders eligible for transportation. Dr. William Lepley, Superintendent of Schools, said scheduling of busses wouldn't be the big problem. He added that with additional bussing the biggest problem is cost. Even with ·the estimated cost rising, it will still see a savings for the District in the long run, Principal Gaylord Anderson said.

Girls' golf was in full swing with a fourth place finish from Senior DeAnna: Kahre in the Metro meet. With hard work and determination, the boys' gymnastics team brought home the "gold" from Waverly. Two individual champions were also crowned. They were freshman Todd Crouse in floor exercise and Junior Ted Haynes, in the vault.

I'll have no more basketball games And no rehearsals, No more mathematics And no more stress on my brain. With all the good and bad times The years have really been great, I made some friends that will last for life And some were only for a day. These last three years have been the best I had a lot of fun, Watching people trip in the halls And all those bets I won. At times I wish it would never end And others I beg for the day, When I can say Good-bye And finally be on my way. Loraine A. Joosten Linda Kalar Katherine J.

We anticipated the first day of school when our mothers and fathers dropped us off for our first big day. We went through great periods of change, from building lemonade stands to our first newspaper delivery job. We studied together, we fought against each other, but we always came back together. Remember the homework, the questions we had, the great hours of studying and before we realized it the sands of time began to run out. Our thirteen years together were suddenly coming to a fast close. But again the question of where are we going. As with the comic character looking into her crystal ball our futures are but questions to us yet. Perhaps some of us will be bankers, some stage performers, or some even just fishermen. Where ever we go we will be sometimes happy and sometimes sad. But where ever we go will go all the memories of all the Good Times we had just being together. STAFF: Cheri Love Kris Guiles Kris McKern 1 - Five make all-metro Closing with an outstanding 6-3 season the Jackets never lost their spirit to win. They were rated 11th in the state and 3rd in Southwest Iowa before their tangle with Westside on Oct. 19. Before their last game they were in competition for the Iowa State High School playoffs. They lost their chance by a heartbreaking 13-6 loss to intercity rival St. Albert. One highlight of the season was placing 5 players on the All Metro Team. They were junior Andy Messersmith, seniors Tony Henley, Jim John on, Roger Showers and Shane Gillespie.

" If you were the person on the other end of this telephone conversaton, chances are you may have been speaking with a Student Council member from Tee Jay. Members of the council volunteered to assist with the News Election Service as one of their many activities. Each participant was assigned a polling place and they called in election results to Chicago. Tee Jay's 30 member council planned and organized a variety of activities including the Student Exchange with A.L. and the annual Twirp Week. Students put their muscles to work in Tug of War ... In early year festivities such as the Homecoming and Sno·ball dances, representatives devoted a great deal of their time to make them successful. Both the dances proved popular by adding a jingle to the council's fund. 176 . . . a Twirp Week ac tivity sponsored by the Student Council. Tee Jay debaters dedicated themselves to accomplish three main goals. First- they wanted to become charter members of the National Forensics League. Second- they wanted to hold their own tournament at Tee Jay. It would be called the Monticello Invitational and be the first one held here in ten years. Thirdly- they wanted to advance to the District Debate Tournament. Two of the three goals were accomplished.

The American Field Service chapter at Tee Jay had one last chance to either shape up or ship out. They chose the latter. Paula Rosenthal, sponsor, commented, "Interest in the club has been dropping over the last few years." The fact that the AFS club folded did not hinder Luis Pena Fuentes, the exchange student from Chile. Luis made his new home with the Anthony Narmi family. His "new brother" Randy is a junior. Adapting to his new family and school was hard at first because he spoke mainly Spanish and very little English. Luis enjoys such things as basketball, volleyball, track, soccer and singing. He can also play the drums as well as the piano and guitar. LEFT: Luis Pena Fuentes joins sophomore, Tim Budd while taking part in one of his many interests, singing.

A Title IX ruling caused the change. It stated there should be no discrimination based on sex in schools and that equal access to all programs and facilities was mandatory. Even though the name change occured it had no real effect on the club. No boys showed any interest in joining. Activities went as usual with initiation, horseback riding, roller skating, camping, volleyball and other planned events throughout the year. Club officers were: Linda Howard, president; Joanie Arthur, vice president; Carmen Gutierrez, secretary; Shari Moores, treasurer; Kris Guiles, activities chairman; Jenny Hering, recording secretary. 188 Sophomore Mary Swanson models a TJRA original during the club's initiation. " Ready on the set, take two, " was a phrase frequently heard in the auditorium as the Thespians rehearsed. Thespians is an international honor society created for drama students interested in the theatre and performing arts. Their central purpose is to further an interest in drama; to become a member you must have put in 75 hours working on or behind the stage. One main project was the production of a film representing different teachers at Tee Jay. This film held the Roadshow together. Money-makers for the year included bake sales and a jewelry sale. The money raised was used to sponsor the drama banquet at the Bellevue Queen. ABOVE: Thespian members include; Jenny Jensen, Teresa Welch, Cheryl Bailey, Secretary Carol Hopper, Lora Frost, Cherrie Bittner, Joyce Norman, Linda Wade, Linda Rajcevich, Suzie Strunk, Alan LaChappell, Tim Budd, Kelly Hulbert. and Joe Knickerbocker.

Wearing Medieval costumes and drinking Wassail were all part of a Madrigal Treat presented by the Senior Madrigal at the Winter concert. According to director Roger MacNeill it was a "major undertaking" for the group and he has hopes of expanding the event into a full scale dinner in the future. Performing for the State PTA Convention in Des Moines and the South Dakota State Music Directors Convention were highlights of Madrigal's music schedule. The schedule included 2530 programs for community and social functions. Members of the J.V. Madrigal performed at various school concerts and productions. Those in this group include Roger Weatherill, Tim Green, Greg McNeal, Larry Wajda, Tim Budd, Keith Schieffer and Steve Thayer. Madrigal members Gail Christensen, Mike Wea therill, Joanie Arthur Mark Carter and Theresa Brayton tone up to Mr. MacNeill's music.' Other members are Marcia Elonich, Deb Bart, Kathy Dilts, Eva Nuno, Teri Peterson, Joni Cleaveland, Amy Vogt and Kris Macrander. 191 What would it be like to be a therapist or nurse or even a dental assistant? If a student is considering one of these various occupations, he or she can become involved in FNA (Future Nurses of America) . Members see and talk to professional people involved in these fields and receive a first hand look at the training required for each profession.

"The thirty-ninth President of the United States is This event climaxed this year's Political Action Club. The club, sponsored by Edward Bremmer, was organized with the purpose of stimulating interest in political events and affairs. They spent the pre-election period trying to get closer to the candidates and experiences of campaigning. Some of the club members attended speaking events by Vice Presidential candidates Dole and Mondale. There were formerly two clubs, the Teenage Republican Club and the Teenage Democratic Club, now the two are combined. Mr. Bremmer stressed that the Political Action Club involves a good deal of independence. 193 ·-- FRONT: Deb Bohlen, Terry Tanner, Jenny Jensen, Diane DeGeorge, Vicki fox, Peggy Minor, Collette Bigelow, Karen McKern, Lori Sweeney, Terri Bowen, Joni Adamson, Linda Rajcevich.

They attended the southwest Iowa Band Jamboree in Clarinda, the Columbus Day Parade in Omaha and the Veterans Day Parade here in the Council Bluffs. With Title IX rulings the squad took on double duties by performing at both boys' and girls' home basketball games. Other appearances of the group included performances at orientation for upcoming sophomores, flashing scores at gymnastic meets, decorating lockers and promoting school spirit. Money making projects consisted of bake sales, popcorn ball sales, car washes, a paper drive in which the squad collected a total of three tons of papers and a Porn Pon Clinic for those sophomores who wanted to try out for the squad the next year.

Thomas Jefferson High School 2501 West Broadway Volume 61 Council Bluffs, Iowa Under Construction When confronted by the hassle . disorder , and challenge of a new addition to our building . Tee Joy stu dents and facul ty hod to overcome the problems of construction. " Although the noise was enough to drive us out . we worl~ed around it with as much enthusiasm as possible." said senior Chris Hansen . With all the changes coming about . we hod a lot of adjustments to mol~e. A lot of worl' hod to to l~e place in order to mol~e the transition for the ninth graders os smooth as possible. '" It's hard to imagine that half of the student body at Tee Joy wil l be new ." said sophomore Christi Commondello . Tee J\:]y was definitely under construc tion and we were learning to live with the mess. Construction affected everyone. The football players lost a practice field , the porl~ing situation worsened . noise levels rose and dust flew everywhere. "We lost a practice field . because of the construction but it will all be worth it when we ore finished. " said junior Al fl,ubio . " I tried not to let the dust and noise bother me . but sometimes it couldn 't be avoided ," said junior Erin O 'Grody . "My students lil'e to watch the con struction worl,, they've learned a lot about construction worl' from spec- toting ," said Special Education teacher John Gan l's. One class even reported a construction worl,er moon woll,ing on the second floor of the new building. " I couldn 't believe it! " said sophomore Dove Nelson. " He was trying to entertain the class. " Th rough the good and the bod . Tee Joy students and faculty persevered. " It tol~es more than construction worl~ to drive the Yel lowjocl~ets away," said junior Grenda Guswell.

Those thoughts ranged from th~ relief of lazy, hazy, crazy days, to the excitement of getting a summer job , to being able to stay out late. or perhaps being able to watch more T.V. During the summer. the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. were some of the major events watched on T.V. Geing able to see everything on T.V. was almost lil~e being there. Gut at the end of all those thoughts there was always the one word that not everyone was thrilled about: School. School marl~ed the end of summer and the beginning of a year full of worl~ and determination. Tee Jay students and faculty had a harder time getting adjusted to school because of all of the cons truction worl~ that was going on . in and around the building. Parts of the building were being torn down while other new parts were being added on . Students and teachers had to learn how to listen and speol~ above the sounds of wa lls being crashed in by wrecl~ing balls and jacl~ hammers d rilling away at unw onted cement. Our theme. Under Construction . not only deals with the fact that Tee Joy itself was undergoing construction but also with the fact tha t inside the walls . the windows . and the doors of Tee Jay there were students whose lives . opinions and ideas were being constucted .

" I lil~e to go to Roel~ n' Oowl on Friday nights," said junior Sheri Hiller. Roel~ n' Oowl was every Friday night from 12 o .m. to J o .m. at Orunswicl~ Dowling Alley. For $5 , students could bowl w ith their friends. Going to movies and cruising Oroodwoy were favorites for Friday night entertainment. It seemed as if Saturdays were the best day of the whole weel~end , that is. if you didn't hove to worl~ . "I spend my weel~ends worl~ing or I go out with my boyfriend ," said junior Angie Pogge . Spending the afternoon shopping would seem lil~e the perfect day for anyone. The Westroods and Crossroads were popular places to spend money and also to hove a good time w ith friends . If one was confined to Council Oluffs, the Midlands Moll and Richmon Gordmon were some of the more desirable alternatives for .shopping . For some reason . shopping didn't always appeal to the guys .

How many times did I hear, "We'll get bocl'i to you " ? I l'inow a girl who applied at thirteen places and was never hired . Some of the lucl'iier people were hired at the first place they applied . " I applied at a couple of places , but • older people were hired first ," said sophomore Michelle Fort. Going to my firs t inteNiew mode me really neNous . I couldn't decide what to wear or what to soy. Then ofter my inteNiew was over the manager shool'i my sweaty hand . I was so neNous . A few weel'is later when I called bocl'i , they wonted to l'inow when I could start WOrl'iing . Next, I hod the first day to worry about . I tried to do everything right but I couldn 't help to mess up . Still it was l'iind of frightening , meeting all those new people and trying to learn all their names . I just l'iept reminding myself that I was getting paid for all this and I was having a little fun along the way. I guess it really wasn 't so bod ofter all . I remembered when my friend 13ong Hye Kwon said , " I need to get a job. " I just laughed and thought bocl'i to when I said that . One of the major reasons students lil'ie having a job was obvious - money! 118 " I worl'i so m y mom won 't ho v e to pay all my ex penses, " sa id ju nio r Porn Geo II . " I need ex tra money for school and for going out." sa id junio r Tommy Plunl'iett . There were advantages and disad vantages to having o job . Worl'iing late and weel'iends were among the major complaints . " I don 't get enough hours," said sophomore Doug r-ogers . Doug worl'ied o t Town and Country Trucl'i Cente r. Worl'iing conditions , ru de customers , and grouchy managers were also a t the top of the complaint list. " I don 't lil'ie closing , " said senior Joni Paez. Joni worl'ied at the Pizzo Hut. " Sometimes my job interferes wi th my schoolworl'i , " sa id sophomore Amy Daley . Personally I lil'ie having o job and I especially lil'ie all the money I hove to spend . " I lil'ie my hours Co t Wo lgreen s) closing before ten o 'clod'i ," said senior Michelle Murray. Wages varied depending on where students worl'ied . Salaries ranged anywhere from two dollars to minimum wage ( $J .J5 ) to five dollars per hour. It's great not having to bug Mom or Dad everytime I need some money. I thinl'i they apprecia te it too .

''I've seen several of my friends shopping at the Thrift Stores," said senior Ken Leitz . Many teenagers were found rummaging through old sweaters and fadeti blue jeans at the neighborhood Salvation Army or Thrift Store. Fashion varied greatly from preppie to trendy to trashy. The style students chose reflected how each person sow himself. The economical style was the Goodwill lool~ . A typical Goodwill outfit was on old faded pair of blue jeans. o plain white t-shirt and o cardigan sweater. "Cardigans ore comfortable and you con always wear your dad's." said junior Jill Aldredge . As the generation gap closed . parents were handing out their charge cords for their l~ids to buy the some clothes they wore thirty years earlier. Gut the students were paying three times as much. New wove rod~ revived '50s fashion as well as the '20s . Along with them come the rolled up jeans. big sweaters . leather jocl~ets . dropped waistlines and beads. Although some students chose the cheaper styles, there were students A faded blue peasant skirt with suspenders. b lack boots. textured hose. and a big blouse portrays the new style. Junior Tracy Clapper's outfit was purchased at The Limited . Photo by Frank Faust. who were willing to pay the ex tra $20 for designer names . Grand names that were found around the halls of Tee Joy were Esprit. Guess . Gasoline and Forenzo . (which could only be purchased at The Limited in Omaha) . " The Limited is o newer store at the Westroods that carries al l the latest fashion ." said senior Jocl~ie Holl. Hair cuts tool~ on the shorter. more messy lool~ and some were even shoved. The styles left the ears exposed for big earrings. Earrings come in all differe n t colors including fluorescents. Along with the fluorescent earrings come the sweatshirts . socl~s. sweaters. bathing suits and almost anything else . " Fluorescents didn't lost very long . but everyone hod them ... said sophomore Dove Nelson . Even before spring was officially here . many students were weari ng shorts . P.onging from Oermudo's to woll~ing shorts to Hawaiian prints , all were a common sight in the halls . For a more basic fashion lool~ . students stayed in style with a pair of · Levi's and a sweatshirt . Clothes lil~e these never go out of style .

Ours is the heritage of the soil, of waving fields of grain, of stately fields of corn and blue skies patched with clouds above luxuriant hills of green. Ours is a heritage of honest toil which passes from sprouting seeds in spring through growth in summer to reach at last the glorio us harvest of fall. How like this pattern is the one we fo llow in our school-the toil of our faculty, the sprouting seeds, our underclassmen in their first years, and finally the harvest which is graduation. That is our theme in this book which tries to give tribute to the land and fields, the farmers and their machines who have made our state wealthy and famous. Familiar places I • • . around Thomas Jefferson Dedication WITH GREAT ADMIRATION AND GRATITUDE . . . We dedicate this Monticello to Frank J . Paluka. Since 1924, he has strived to ins.till in his students the principles of good citizenship and, by his example guided students to realize their goal of happiness. We express our thanks to Mr. Paluka for helping to improve and make ours a better and more outstanding school. Toil Fun Brawn..

Summer Baseball 69 Harden resigns after ten years "I was a little bit disappointed ," said Coach Bob Harden. "We had the potential but the scores and our records didn't really show it." North and Roncalli fell victims to the Yellowjackets in the first two games. After the opening victories the Jackets dropped three in a row, with a big loss to Tech 32-8. Homecoming brought Ryan to C.B. Stadium only to be overcome by the Jackets 40-6. Bellevue West slipped past the Jackets 23-16. but the Jackets would not give up as they outplayed Lewis Central 26-8. Coach Harden noted the following people as having given outstanding TJ performances: Seniors Rob Stucker, Bill Shaw, Jeff Henderson, Scott Cline, Roger Dennis and Ed Leazenby. Juniors included Bill Chapin, Greg Darling, Kelly Leseberg, Chuck Plummer, Mike Wood and Steve Birchard. Illness disrupted the Jackets during the year, Coach Harden said, "It stayed with us all season." Coach Harden resigned as head coach of Varsity Football in January. He had been the head coach at Tee Jay since 1969. He had a 47-41-1 overall record, quite an improvement over previous records at Tee Jay. copy by Brian Pearce Senior Mike Hanafan takes a break at the water cooler while the offense takes over on the field. photo by M.

Varsity Volleyball H Underclassmen provide strength Tee Jay grappler strength rested on the shoulders of a team made up mostly of underclassmen. With Coach Steve Hard iman ' s " little push," two of those underclassmen won their district matches and moved onward to State. Victory came short at the State tournament as sophomore Scott Weatherill won his first match but lost his second. Junior Greg Darling lost his first match to last year's State champ, Pete Bush of Davenport Assumption. "With our success," Coach Hardiman said, "I really didn't mind having our team composed of underclassmen and we are really looking forward to next year."

Pearce Who would have thought Tee Jay's boys' varsity basketball team would make it all the way to the Iowa Substate Tournament? The Yellowjackets started off the season with two wins in a row over Gross, 72-69 and Lewis Central, 69-56. But they won only three more games throughout the entire regular season. Those wins were over Ralston, Ryan and Bellevue West. With a 5-12 record going into District play. not many people expected the Yellowjackets to win either game. Tee Jay won the first game over Lewis Central, 81-76. Senior Bill Mace led the drive against the Titans, scoring 24 points. Seniors Mark Quandt and Tim Ryan added 13 and 10 respectively. In the second game of District action, Tee Jay had a little more competition with tenth ranked in State, Harlan. Harlan had just come off of a win over A.L. and had beaten Tee Jay in the regular season, 85-68. Tee Jay got past Harlan 52-50 with Mace leading the way, pumping in 22 points, advancing the Yellowjackets in to Substate competition. In Substate action, Tee Jay played first ranked West Des Moines Dowling at Des Moines Valley High School. Dowling ended the Tee Jay basketball season rather harshly beating the Yellowjackets 83-52. Leading the Jackets through the season were Mace, averaging 13.9 points per game and Tim Rya n with 11.3 points a game. Both seniors also led the team in re bound ing, with Mace grabbing 8.6 a game and Ryan having 7.6 rebounds a game. Senior Mark Quandt led the Tee Jay team in assists averaging 4. 7 per game. copy by Pat Lodes SCOREBOARD TJ 72 69 51 69 59 39 63 86 62 63 63 74 64 64 68 63 55 81 52 52 OPPONENT · Gross Lewis Central Roncalli Westside Bellevue West Saint Albert A.

The Jackets started the season off with a loss to Bryan but then came to life as they won five in a row including a 7-6 win over crosstown rival A.L.

Junior Donna Peterson is ready to snatch anything that comes her way al third base. J.V.'s win 16 straight With a tremendous season record of 19 wins and 2 losses, the J.V. softball team had a very successful second season . Most games were won by good hitting and strategy. The lead hitters for the team were Donna Peterson. Trish Higgins. Mary Swanson and Sandi Moores. Statistically there were a few close encounters, but the majority of the games were won by wide margins. Vickie Plummer and Susie Brownell shared pitching duties for the team. The second half of the batteries were Jeri Oles and Amy Lee. Coach Sharon Semler said, "We had a good team. There were always people ready to come off the bench to fill in ." The team consisted mainly of sophomores, though a few freshmen and juniors also played. The jackettes won their first 16 games of the season, giving the girls spirit to cheer the varsity players on. The team gave Coach Semler most of the credit for their success. Most players said that she tried to understand and help each player individually, she never yelled and she always got her point across .

"The loss of those 12 players hurt the team." Sophomore Brian Heistand said , " We would have done better if they wouldn't have moved the 12 best players up to the J.V .'s." Many of our starters had never started a football game. Most of them had only played when their team was way ahead or way behind, according to Coach Witt. If the team didn't already have enough problems. they were two weeks behind other high schools because bot h coaches Witt and Gary Jensen were hired after the beginni ng of the season. Although t he sophomores finished the season with a 1-5-1 record, the potential was still there.

Better known as the " Krej" , he was offered the head coaching spot at Southwestern Community College in Creston. According to varsity coach John Kinsel. the 'Krej' was reluctant to leave Tee Jay, a place he really loved. But his lifelong goal was to be a college coach, so he accepted." " The 'Krej' helped out with the varsity besides handling the JV's and was well liked by both," said Greg Johnson. During his time as assistant coach at Tee Jay the "Krej" compiled a record of 47 wins and 15 losses and succesive American Division titles in the spring seasons. "He loved baseball. His hustle, close association with the players, enthusiasm and 'fullness' only a baseball player could understand, made him a winner," said coach and friend Kinsel. copy by Rob Stucker Steve Martinez looks on with a bird's eyeview from the coaches box at first base.

But their 2-0 record didn ' t last long. as the Yellow jackets lost the championship game of the Bryan-Prep Invitational Tournament to Creighton Prep 3-1. Then after losing to Prep. the Jackets lost five more games to bring their record down to 2-6. Coach John Kinsel said. "Injuries were a major factor, but we also lacked consistant play." Injuries played a big part in that long stretch of losses, with pitcher Bill Chapin, outfielders John Schnaible and Kevin Boyer and catcher Rob Stucker all hurt for most of the spring season. Then winning six games in a row, Tee Jay lost two more games evening their record at 8-8 going into the A.L.-T.J . Invitational Tournament. Tee Jay's first opponent in the tournament was Benson High, who proved to be very tough competition, taking the Yellowjackets nine innings. Senior Jeff Boarts threw the entire nine innings and picked up the win, as the Jackets won 1-0. The spring season ended on a losing note when Gross defeated Tee Jay 2-1. " We were better than our 9-9 record indicated . We played the good teams tough and lollied with the lolly teams", said Coach Kinsel. copy by Pat Lodes -Second baseman s enior Randy Herrick gets a base hit off this turn at bat. photo by T.

The members would choose statues they liked , clean them. paint them. and shine them . Then the finished pieces could be kept. or put up for sale in the display window outside the room. The pieces were sold for the original amount the student paid for them plus labor. so the students were able to keep their spending budget down by making the labor money. Throughout the year there were Christmas ornaments. cats. dogs. dwarfs. graduation dolls. and more on display and up for sale in the display window. by Cindy LeRette Although not a student , Deb Pa rrott enjoys making things in the Cera mic Cl ub. photo by P.

One was held on Oct. 16, and the other on March 6. They set their goal for both drives at forty units. During the first drive NHS collected thirty-eight units, just two short of their goal. Their second drive proved more profitable with a total of forty- two units collected. Fifty-seven students from the sophomore, junior and senior classes were accepted into the Society at the annual Induction Ceremony held in the auditorium on March 29.

Dance Troupe. a continously growing group. as of Roadshow had fifteen members. During the March musical (Brigadoon) some people dropped while others were added to make a total of twenty. At practice for Roadshow junior Dara Pople broke her arm but that didn't stop her from performing. "It was worth all the work," said Pople.

Whtie " It was a good way for the community to show pride in Council Bluffs," said Paula Rayment. Mrs . Rayment. a teacher at Bloomer School, was in charge of the parade. Pride Week was the suggestion of several people but Victoria Holder, a teacher at Wilson , and Superintendent Raj Chopra were the primary initiators. This gala event took place April 22-28. and through much planning and co-operation of the people Pride Week was a success. The purpose of Pride Week was to unify Council Bluffs through school and community and to show we have a lot to be proud of. Numerous activities were planned throughout the week. Every night at Bayliss Park a show case of entertainment was provided. This show case included local entertainment also area schools participated in singing and skits. During the week the communit y schools had certain activities for Pride Week such as going around and picking up litter. Here at school a man by the name of Bernie Saggau came and talked. He talked on hav ing pride in ourselves and shared some personal experiences he had in school and about his family. He told us anything you want to do or be in your life, try as hard as you can and soon you' ll have what you strived for. He pointed out the fac t that disappoin tments will come along bu t don 't le t them stop you. The last day of Pride Week their was a parade . which lasted fr o m lla .rn.-lp.m. Almost every school had a float. some area organiza tions and some businesses were also represe nted . The parade ended a t Bayliss Park where both Tee Jay and A. L. Bands played, "We're Proud of Council Bluffs.

But what about working throughout most of the school day? That 's right. While meeting the necessary requirements, senior Bernie Baker also doubles as a custodian. " I got interested when they (cooks) needed help during lunch," Bernie said . Bernie attends class taught by Gary Jensen from 8:30-9:30 every morning . After class it 's time to put the books away and get out the broom. For the last two years Bernie has been in volved with the work -study related class. By a ttending class and working he earns credits for both class and his job. But while working he also gets paid $2.90 an hour. While most students head for the lounge or jus t walk around e ach morning , Bernie heads to the custodian 's room . " I usually ge t to school around 7:45 and just sit around and drink coffee with the othe rs," Bernie said. "I just lik e to sit with the guys and ta lk ." Alt hou gh these are fun time s before school, it ca n also be gloom y. Whe n the snow falls the first th ing st ud e nt s want is fo r school to be cancelled. This does n't hold true fo r Berni e though . " If it snows I ha ve to come at 5:30 a.m. a nd scoop ," Bern ie sa id . He feels that doing these thi ngs will give him a better cha nce of ge t t ing a job in the same fi e ld . Bernie has his application in fo r a job here. " I want to work here if I ca n be cause it's close to home and the teac he rs are nice to me ," he sa id . A dai ly routine consist s of clea ning halls, taki ng out gar bage. ge tt ing milk a nd wiping off tables. Bernie's job doe sn't e nd here though . While his day usually e nd s at 2:30 p.m., the re are t imes when ext ra hours are called fo r. " I have to cle an the cafet e ria floors after the basket ba ll games ," Bernie sa id . With the mon e y he saves fro m h is job, he plans on buying a car. But unti l the n he goes home a nd d ri ves h is mom 's car, dreaming some day of having his own. copy by Randy Herr ick • Bernie scoops Senior Bernie Baker prepares to roll a choral shell belonging to the music department out of the truck . photo by C.

When the blueprints were drawn up for the '79 house, a little diverse planning went into them. With energy becoming a major problem, a solar house became the project for the year. Eighteen students were split up into two shifts. In the morning eight from A.L. and two from Tee Jay worked together on completing the house. The remaining eight from Tee Jay worked in the afternoon. Richard Buchanan, Building Construction teacher at the Career Center, helped students with their work. But even Mr. Buchanan's help was not enough when time came to put up the solar panels. An expert from Westinghouse came to supervise the students. "The day we put up the panels the wind chill was 60 below zero," said Kevin Thomas. According to Kevin, working t hrough mini-courses was also a d isad van tage. When the rest of Tee Jay studen ts were doing what they wanted , the building construction students were busy fi nishi ng the house for a family to move in. copy by Randy Herr ick Ro n Driver, Welding instructor, cleans off his desk after dismissing his class to head back to Tee Jay fro m the Caree r Center.

But with John Hanna things weren't so secret. Mr. Hanna, American Literature and sophomore English teacher, was a part of the Central Intelligence Agency (C.1.A.) for three years. He began in 1965, then within the nex t three years he felt the atmosphere was no longer his type. "I felt there were too many bosses and too much paperwork," he said. Mr. Hanna's job wasn't as secret as most of the jobs in the C.l.A. He worked with exit processing interviewing people to see why they were leaving the agency or if they were qualified to work for the C.l.A. "Ninety percent of the people that applied were rejected for three main reasons, 30 percent drank too much, 30 percent talked to much and 30 percent had relatives behind the iron curtain," Mr. Hanna said . Mr. Hanna was a teacher for eight years before joining the C.l.A.

I obtained my title 'pco' by giving lessons at Lake Shore Country Club in Manawa. nine years ago," Mike Hoffman, Geography and Sociology teacher said. Mr. Hoffman began playing tennis at the age of eight. His mother was his firs t teacher. "Everyday my brother and I used to go across the street from our house to Kimble Park, where the only tennis court was in Council Bluffs at that time," Mr. Hoff man said. "Soon after that I began taking private lessons in Omaha." After many years of hard work and devotion, he achieved a partial scholarship to Iowa State College in 1956, his senior year. " In high school I never got state champion but I was still honored to ge t Inter-City champion," Mr. Hoffman said. After colleg e. Mr. Ho ff ma n quit playing tennis un t il 1962. he was involved in tournaments in Omaha and parts of Iowa.

No , the Civic Auditorium is not another Madison Square Gardens, but for junior Ernie McGinnis he would box no where else if he had it his way. " I have all the support when boxing in Omaha," said Ernie. Ernie has been boxing for three years and weighs in at 106 pounds. He became interested in boxing from watching TV and he said his dad also influenced him. So far he has been in 18 matches, with a record of 13-5. He trains at the Jackson Boxing Club in Omaha, with owner Kenny Jackson as his coach and trainer. A regular training session usually consists of the shadow box, situps. spar. punching bag and ropes. Twice a week he works out on weights. Ernie said his coach arranges the fights for him. There are usually three rounds. After scheduling a match. Ernie waits until one week before a fight and crash diets to get down to at least one pound leeway. Once the offic ial weigh in has taken place . five hours before fi ght time, Ernie heads for the nearest restaurant for a steak. Then once in the ring , with green trunks. tank top and blue and white shoes , he loses from a half to one pound. Besides Omaha he has boxed in Lincoln. Kirkman, Onawa. Sioux City and Hutchinson.

They saw shows like Engleburt Humperdink, Tom Jones and a stage show, " Hallelujah Hollywood. " " It was great. I wanted to see the size of the stadium and what type of plays they ran but mainly to see Phil play," Pat O'Doherty said. " We combined this trip as a vacation and to see Phil. It was a pleasure trip," Jim Van Maanen said. "It was great, exciting, 24 hours of action at a fast pace." Doug Muehlig broke even playing the slots and blackjack. He said he mainly went to see Phil. Mr. Van Maanen said, " It was an inexpensive vacation and I wouldn't mind going out there again."

Pearce While most people are thinking about swimming. juniors Sara Johnson. Sandi Moores and senior Mary Swanson thought otherwise. They were away improving their skills in volleyball during summer vacation of 1978. They attended a volleyball camp at Graceland, Iowa. They spend five hot summer days, from June 24-28. Although the camp proved rewarding to all three, Sara came home with the biggest reward. During the week Sara had been picked to try out for the Junior Olympic team. She had to wait until Dec. 28, to try out. When the day came, she traveled to York, Nebraska, with he r dad. After orientation the work began. According to Sara the participants started out doing about a mile's worth of running and hopping. " None of us thought we would have to do any type of conditioning. we were all dead before we started," said Sara. When the conditioning was over she was tested on skills. "They made us do jump sets and I never did them before," she added. At all times there were two coaches walking around with 0 .E. sponsor Julie O'Dohe rty tr ie s to fi x Tammy Harken's broken clipboards. They would write down the girls' strong points . type writ er . One drill which pondered Sara was with a basketball. photo by B.

I don't have training, but know everything that I need to," Greg said. Requirements are training and an E.M.T. (Emergency Medical Technician). "I only get called when the rest of the crew is gone on another call," Greg said. According to Greg. most of the calls are patients being transferred from home to hospital. "It's not like anything ou t of an episode of 'Emergency' , most of the patients can walk ; if they can't , we use a stretcher," Greg said. Giving oxygen and talking to patien ts is about all Greg is quali fied to do for the patients. "You can't be a doctor. You can' t do anything un t il they stop breathing. Somet imes, I just sit and talk to them or hold their hand," Greg said. Greg gets six dollars a call unless it's from ou t of town. He averages six calls a night. Junior.

When the drinking age was raised to 19, effective July I, 1978, the main concern was in the schools. While principals. and faculties were complaining, parents were worrying about students coming to school intoxicated across the state. Another problem was high number of traffic fatalities. But while there were statewide, a local problem lingered over the city of Council Bluffs. Students from Omaha were crossing the Missouri River to consume alcohol at local bars. By raising the age, the new law would prevent young adults from drinking, but still give them the privilege of their right to vote. Junior Robin Neill said, "If you're old enough to vote you should be old enough to drink." Although students aren't old enough to buy alcohol. they are obtaining fake id's. "I got a fake id from my older brother when his expired," said one student. Another person said, "I paid $7.00 for one in the mail with my picture on it." "I usually borrow one of my friends. depending on who doesn't need one for the weekend." another student said. Most students interviewed, said they use their id's for getting into bars. But they are the ones who would rather just go to the store and by a 12-pack or a case. Beer seems to be the most popular drink on weekends. But most people interviewed preferred liquor on nights of dances. So we must ask, has the new law really helped causes? A.L. Principal Bob Capel said, "I don't feel high school kids should have the access to alcohol. The law adds a little more clout into the legal aspect of bringing the alcohol on the premises." copy by Randy Herrick Sophomore Pete McNe il s tar ts to get in the car whi le sophomore Gary Ford and Dr ivers Ed. teache r Dav id Run yo n wait for h im to unlock the doors. photo by C.

This is just one ordeal that Miss Semler ran up against as she ventured through numerous parts of Europe this summer. On July 24. Miss Semler and her friends flew to London, England. When they arrived they joined Cosmo Agency and were amoung 48 others to see the many different sights of Europe. They ventured out to sight-see as much as possible in London. "I was sort of dissappointed because I wanted to see more of England," Miss Semler said, "But couldn't because of lack of time." On the tour, Sharon met people from Canada, Australia, South Africia , India and Trinidad. "Just meeting people on the tour I learned more about their cultures, than the ones I visited ," Sharon said. With passport in one hand and a suitcase in the other all 48 tourists attempted to see Europe on a bus. Miss Semler noted that before entering each country their tour guide gave them some helpful hints to vitally important words such as "bathroom" , "help I'm lost" and some words of etiquette and also the use of money in each country. Within the 14 days of Miss Semler's stay in Europe she visited 8 countries England, Belgium, Holland, Germany. Australia, Italy. Switzerland and France. Miss Semler hopes to return someday to learn more about their cultures only without a tour group. copy by Kathy Love and Randy Herrick Bob Smilley rew inds a John F.

Mr. Voigts. a psychology and marriage and family teacher. received his license to fly last November. after a year and two months of lessons . He first became interested in flying when he was six years old and his friend's dad took him for a ride . " Ever since then I always figured I wanted to fly. " Mr. Voigts said . To get his license he had to fly for 45 hours. Twenty of them were with an instructor and twenty-fi ve were solo. He took lessons at the Council Bluffs airport . He could take the lessons whenever he wanted to. All he had to do was call the airport and make arrangements . "I wanted to quit the first few times. but after you get used to it. it's fun," Mr. Voigts said. He said tha t the first time he went up the instructor did stunts to see if he could handle it. Now that he has his license he flies about three to five hours a month. The time is usually more during the summer. Mr. Voigts belongs to a club where he only has to pay for the usage of the plane while it is in the air. So if he went on a trip he wouldn 't have to pay for t he time the airplane was on the ground. He hopes to get an olde r plane of his own someday. His parents had mixed feelings on his flying. His mom thought th at it would be dangerous while his dad thought it was a good idea. Flying lessons can be fun but they also take a lot out of the pocket. It cost Mr. Voigts aro und $900 for his lessons. " If I ever gave up teaching I would consider being a co-pilot." Mr. Voigts said. copy by Cathy Weed Psychology and marriage and family teacher Bruce Voigts gives hi s marri age and family class a questionnaire on sex. photo by M .

Th;:it push behind the ballot box brought these juniors forward ro lead their class-·-sponsors, Miss Ruth Brown and Mr. Charles Davis; President, Bob Gilson; Treasurer, Marilyn Moats; Secre~ary, Peggy Curran; and Vice-Presido:::nt, Dick Corder. JUNIORS A "sweeping victory" for the new officers of the Junior class was the result of the election held on February 3. The meeting was conducted by Principal R . F. Myers. Favorites of the ballot box were Bob Gilson for president; Dick Corder, vice-president; Peggy Curran, secretary; and Marilyn Moats, treasurer. Miss Ruth Brown and Mr. Charles Davis were elected class sponsors. Bob, the president of the class, is active in dramatics, president of the Masque and Bauble, and a member of the basketball squad. Dick, the vice-president, lettered in track and participated in basketball, and is a member of the Lettermen's Club. Peggy, secretary of the class, is a member of the G.A.A ., girls' sextette, and carried a lead in the junior play. Marilyn, the treasurer, also led in the junior -play and is a member of the G .A.A. Miss Brown is sponsor of the Masque and Bauble and teaches dramatics and English. Mr. Davis is sponsor of the Solo Club and is instructor of vocal music. An indication of the true class spirit was revealed by the large number of students who participated in the "try-outs" for various parts in the Junior play, "The Charm School." It was dramatized on May 15. Other activities of the Junior class were the annual junior frolic and the JuniorSenior Prom. With the passing of spring into summer, graduation time grows nearer and thus next fall the Juniors will take the places left vacant by the Senior class. With various outstanding talents represented in the Class of '43, it expects to maintain the high standards set by previous Senior classes at Thomas Jefferson High School.

Page 57 Amidst the whirl of schedule cards, new classes, and new teachers w hich come at the beginning of each semester, the freshmen emerged to take the limelight from the upperclassmen for a few days-old phrases, jokes, and stunts which are used on the freshmen each year by the older students were taken from their hiding places and used again . Registration day represented the beginning of a new era for the freshmen. They were filled with grand and noble ideas of making their high -school days the happiest of their entire lives. They knew of the high standards of Thomas Jefferson High School students, and they resolved to maintain those high standards to the best of th eir ability. " Grade-school" days were left behind as the " frosh " entered highschool with their eager outlook toward the future . During the bustle and excitement of enrollment days, th e Girls' Council stepped in to give a helping hand to freshmen girls needing their advice. Later, the Girls' Council also staged a Freshman Party, where the girls could become more acquainted with each other and with their Girls' Council " big sisters ."

Early in the fall, the debaters, under direction of Coach Ernest H . Ulm, sponsored the 7th Annual Debate Clinic. Thirty-two teams were entered, representing schools all over the mid-west. A Freshman-Sophomore debate was next on the calendar. This was given before the student body on November 21, at which Mr. David Grant, former member of the Thomas Jefferson High School faculty, judged. The decision was given to the freshmen . The Missouri Valley Debating Tournament came next on the schedule. At this, T. J. entered only in the girls' tournament. February 27 saw T . J. debating at South High School. Both T. J. teams, however, lost close decisions. South retaliated on March 6 by debating before the T. J. student body, at which our affirmative team won and the negative team lost. The final tournament of the season was held at Creighton Prep on April 6. Although no decisions were handed to the T. J. debate teams, Jack Brown emerged in the finals of the original oratorical .contest to win the first place.

Yankton College; U. of Iowa. Physical Education With Miss Helen F. Johnson as instructor, girls' athletics were first introduced into T. ]. in 1923. Throughout its fifteen years of popularity, seven gym teachers have come and gone. Until 1931, the girls in the gym classes had worn black uniforms with white middies, but in that year the green gym suits were introduced. Girls go to physical education classes twice a week for one hour periods. Dur, ing this time they participate in many games and exercises. At the end of the period those who wish may take a shower. H ealth and hygiene form another part of the physical education program. Girls, who for some reason cannot participate in active sports, go to special health classes. This year, National H ealth D ay, on May 1, was celebrated by a demon, stration in which all of the gym classes participated. T o assist Miss Grow, there are two girls in every class who belong to the Gym A ssistants Club. They perform v~rious duties such as taking attendance, giving instructions, and refereeing games. For assisting in the gym at least twice a week, the girls receive athletic points that go toward earning an athletic letter and an Iowa State pin. For the letter, girls must earn five hundred points. To receive a pin, they must have earned one thousand points.

Opening their eight-game schedule at home, th e Y ellow jackets h eld a T -party on th eir own field September 12, running over Shenandoah's game but inexperienced eleven by the score of 38- 13. September 26 saw the fighting · Jeffs overcome a Central lead to score in the closing minutes and pull out a 13- 12 victory. The followin g week T. J. defeated their arch rivals from the Hilltop by a score of 19-6. The Lynx were no match for the hardcharging Yellowjackets. Thomas Jefferson and North met on th e T. J. field October 10, w ith the game ending in a hard-fought 12 -12 tie. The next Friday, the injury-riddled Jeff squad traveled to Red Oak, where they lost a heart-breaking 13 -20 decisio n to th e fighting Tigers. Th e weakened Yellowjackets simply co~ld not match the power of the h eavier boys from R ed Oak. On October 24, T . J. battl ed Logan on the Panther's field, d efeating them by a score of 14-6, the game being played on a sli ppery, wet fi eld . Page 108 After two weeks rest, the Y ellowjackets again proved their superiority over A . L., swamping the Lynx by a score of 20-6 on the Hilltoper's field . The shifty Jeff backs, running from the new T formation, were more than a match for th slower, heavier Lynx linemen, breaking through repeatedly for long gains. In the final game of the season, Benson invaded T. J. territory and in a game that was to decide the winner of the Intercity, the Bunnies carried off a 13 -0 victory and the crown. The Yellowjacket eleven battled gamely throughout the ~,une but could not cope with the heavier attack of the Benson eleven. All in all, the season was a highly successful one, the fighting Jeffs capturing second place in the Intercity. What the Yellowjackets lacked in weight and height, they made up in speed, shiftiness, and courage. A team such as this deserves the praise they received from the student body. , Stan Stepanek is run down by Neve ( 44), Sluyter (50), Strong, ( 49), Stelovich ( 51), and Lund ( 5 3) of T.

H andicapped by lack of h eight and experience, Thomas Jefferson 's battling basketball team surpr:sed everyone by pulling out a . 500 record fo r the season. Th e Fearless Five went as far as the sectional tournament in post season play, losin g to A. L. in th e fin als in a hectic 5 1-4 7 battle. Besides th e regulary sch eduled ga mes, th e Yellowjackets played the T . ]. Alumni twice, losing th e first game by 26-40 and th e second game, a R ed Cross benefit ga me, by 28- 34. The alumni w ere lead by such for mer T. ]. stars as Red Johnson, Pat M oore, and G eorge Koch . In losing to such teams as Creighton Prep, A. L , and Atlantic, the Jeff five pr:wed thai: they had the makin gs of a great team, showing this in their u pset v·ctory over T ech and in th eir victories over St. Francis, Glenwood, Logan, and N ebraska City. What they lacked in height and we ·eht, they made up in team spirit, courage, and speed . Outstanding for the Yellow jackets all seaso n were Captain Iva n Liddell, Bob H olst, Bill Lund , Dick R onk. and Eddie T yler, ably supported by V ern Wiese, Bob Gilson, G eorge Sweetman, .Tim Turnipseed, H arry Sluyter, Eugene Flecky, and Jim Buck . Losing only Lidd ell, Sluyter, H olst and Flecky in graduation, th e team should come back strong next year.

The green but fighting frosh showed great promise in certain games, and will bolster next year's varsity and second tea m. Lacking the height necessary to be a great team, th e yearlings proved that they could win when they wanted to. Losing twice to a strong H oly Fa mily five and once to Bloomer, the frosh defeated Abraham Lincoln tw ice and Washington grade school by top heavy scores.

However, not all the assemblies were top rate . The Saxsons, a man and woman who presented a program on ESP wasn 't the best assembly. The one after that proves why activities director Don Schwertley cancelled with the Bureau of Lectors, a company from Kansas, who booked both t e Saxsons and Daybreak. Anyone who attended will probably never forget , "Daybreak, if you want to believe . . . " Daybreak, a man and woman who sang songs. Their only problem was no one in the student body was familiar with the songs . According to Mr. Schwertley, Daybreak was the worst show he's . seen in his eleven years at Tee Jay . Mr. Schwertley felt he wa nted to go hide during the performance . " I was embarrassed for both the performers but mostly for how th e a udience acted ," Mr. Schwertley said. "Regardless of th e show , the student body should at least be polite," he added. One reason Mr. Schwertley can give for the shows going downhill was inflation. Because the groups must travel on the road it ta kes more money and schools aren 't willing to pay much more for th e shows. There are at least four or five assemblies a year a nd th en others that he books during the year. Each year Campus Life will have a show . Every other year radio station WOW, Coke or Pepsi will ha ve a multi-media presentation. When asked about the assemblies it was un a nimou s to th e students th at Daybreak was the worst. At the surprise assembly Thursday, January 17th , Vice President Walter Mondale came and talked before the whole student body . Vice president Mondale talked about current events. He feels that pres id ent Carter does the best job of trying to keep world peace. H e ta lked on the draft, the Iran crisis and with the Io~a Caucuses coming up on Monday Jan. 21, the eyes of the nation were on Iowa. Whether students agreed with what was said or not it was an honor and privilege t a him at our school. copy by Mary edesco " Before leaving the White House, President Carter told me to stop and say hello to the Yellowjackets and watch out for the 'swarm'," Vice President Walter Mondale sa id during his visit at Tee Jay on January 17.

But when it comes to our interpretation of those words, it means something completely different, as Student Council turned the fieldhouse into a "Christmas Wonderland," for the annual Snoball dance. Our Christmas Wonderland became a reality the morning of December 22, as Student Council representatives rose early at 8 a.m. to decorate the gym with garland, snowflakes, colored bells, crepe paper and trees. Though the traditional colors are usually red, and green, council members decided on silver, violet and light blue for the dance, held on Decem.ber 22, from 8_11 p.m. Dancing to music of the Flexible Fliers, students took a break at 9: 30 to see the ~n nouncing · of the king · and queen.

Teachers in holey jeans and t-shirts? Trike races in the courtyard? Just what kind of school is this," an outsider asks. Hold on a minute Mister, there's nothing really wrong with this school, it's just the annual Twirp week activities. Twirp week is a kind of relief from tfie usual school blahs that happen when spring fever hits. And this year March I 0-14, was set aside (or that special reason . Twirp has been going on for over thirty years according to Don Schwertley, Activities Director. Student Council planned different activities for each day of the week. For example, Monday the 10th was pajama day and an egg toss contest was held in the courtyard. Tuesday was grub day and a trike race was held in the courtyard. Wednesday was switch day, where the girls dressed as guys and the guys vica versa. Western day was held on Thursday and Friday was 50's day. Many other contests were held including a tug of war , arm wrestling, and Mr. Macho. Planning was an important key to the success of Twirp . Last year, only one day was set aside for Twirp and hardly any students became involved . This year over 100 students were involved in each activity," estimated Student Council President Jackie Jerkovich. " The organizers of Twirp did a super job," said Mr. Schwertley. "This year's Twirp was the best we've had in all the years I've been here," he added . On Friday, March 14, Twirp week came to a close with a dance held from 8 p.m. to I 1 p.m. Tickets were sold for $1 .50 per person and $2.50 for couples. A local disc jockey provided the music. copy by Stacy Hobbs .... ..c "' 0 ·;::; u "' "'>. c: -, .D 0 0 ..c c. "I could .have .sw.orn they prom!sed me. lemon mer in g ue," excla ims R. H .

Unlike other weekend nights, my friends and l decided to go to the school musical, "Kiss Me Kate" . When we arrived at school, parking places were scarce but we finally spotted one. As we approached the auditorium, the crowds outside were anticipating the start of the show. The auditorium filled , the music started, and the lights were dimmed. The musical was underway. The lead roles of "Kiss Me Kate" were played by Senior Dave Jolliff as Pertuchio, and Senior Amy Lee as Kate. The musical was held on two different weekends. The first showing was March 6 through March 8. The second week the musical was held on March 13 and I 5. Mike Abraham, who played Lucentio said, " It was a different experience doing it for two weekends, but it gave all of us more experience.

OC\JER ctHE CRAINCBOID Two surprises occurred during the Junior-Senior Prom this year, held on April 25th. A major change was made in where the dance was to be held . It was moved from the Peony Park Ballroom to the Milo Bail Student Center at the University of Ne braska in Omaha. "I thought Peony would ha ve been a much nicer place to hold the dance at," sa id junior Kathy McCallum. Another big surprise came when court was announced . Many people were surprised to find that instead of the usual king and queen, Mr. O'Doherty had announced a king, and not one, but two queens. Seniors Sandi Moores and Sue Brownell were crowned as Queens and Senior Bill Chapin received the honor of King. Juniors Jean Aldredge and Jack Mahaffey reigned as Princess and Prince. The dance started at 8:30 p.m. and couples danced to the music of Allspice, an Omaha-based band. Sdouvenir tumblers filled with mints and nuts serve as the p 1 1 remembrances for the evening.

Jesus Christ Superstar was a different type of musical play tha t was not usu all y seen on most high school stages. Jesus Christ Superstar was a Rock Ballet in which the actors acted out the story by da ncing. The ballet was the story of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Junior Jack Mah affey played the leading role of Christ and Senior Laurie Hendrix played the part of Mary Magdalene. The part of Judas was portrayed by sophomore Tracy Anderson a nd junior Don Welch added some humor as King Herod. "It was very hard to lea rn a ll those da nces, a t times I felt like quitting, " J ack said. The music was taken from the original Broadway production but the dances were choreographed by Drama instructor John Gibson, Mrs . Cindy Whitney, Miss J a ne Howa rd a nd the da ncers themselves. The cast used ma ny special effects to help make the ballet unique. An estimated thirteen flash pots were used a nd they often caught the a udience off guard . Womb bags were used to give a blurry effect when Christ was dying, as if the audience was looking a t people through Hi s eyes. The Rock Ballet was presented on April 17, 18 and 19 a nd was given a sta nding ovation on a ll three nights . The good response ca used the cast to decide to do a ma tinee for Junior High students on April 21, which a lso received ·a standing ovation .

It looked as though the class of '80 wouldn 't be able to have a ski trip for the wea ther wouldn 't cooperate. But soon the snow fell, so did many skiers at Crescent Hills. The biggest task for nearly 125 seniors who a ttended was getting to the ski lift. Scott Ha rrill seemed to have plenty of problems trying to stay on his feet. Once to the lift, it was to hang on for dea r life so you didn' t fall off the lift a nd down the slope. Not too ma ny people dared the pro-course. Jennifer Lester was one who did a nd she had plenty of bruises to prove that she survived. "This is the most people we have ever had go skiing," La Vonne Pierson, P.E . teacher sa id. More people would ha ve a ttended if it were a little bit cheaper a nd if winter sports wouldn 't ha ve conflicted. But for those who went it was a time to remember. Whether it was on the ground, in the lodge, or on the bus. copy by Amy Lee Scott Harrill finds it more of a challenge trying to stand up than actually skiing.

Skip day was scheduled for Friday, April l 8, and Wednesday, April 30. Arrowhead was the designated spot for the annual event. But ~s time grew c Ioser, many sites were designated.

After this happened , . many seniors left the spot to go have their own party. . The temperatures were in the 70's and the sun was shining bright.

On to state, both did go. In wrestling, senior Greg Darling and junior Scott Weatherill wrestled in the state meet for the second year in a row. The volleyballers, as in previous years going back a lmost too far to remember, attended the state tournament. Returning all but three starters from a junior varsity team which won 31 games two years ago, varsity baseba ll coach John Kinsel stood a good chance a t going to state last su mm er. These are three of the most well known sports at Tee Ja y. When a person mentions Tee J ay in a conversation, a nother person may add, "oh, the sc hool that always ha s a good baseball team " , or "boy they a lways have a good wrestling program, don ' t they". Well , Tee Jay students this yea r ha d a lot of new things to talk about. r A new head football coach, Pat O ' Doherty had everyone talking when he showed his Irish enthusiasm. "The Swarm" was a lso brought in. Need much be sai d abo ut "The Swarm". Even the Vicer Pres-ident of the United States knew about it. The boys' swimming team had a new pool to splas h in when the new Kirn Junior High opened. Robert Wright set new records in boys ' gymnasrics, as did the girls ' when they broke the sc hool golfing record at Dodge Park. To sum up Tee Jay sports, they're a lw ays bu zzing' a long. copy by Pat Lodes 56 · ---:m Sports Division - Before th e first football game on Sept. 7, aga inst Lew is Central , the pl aye rs asse mble outside to a rou se spirit.

Believe it or not we did get a girls powder puff football team. Is the a ttenda nce the same for the girls and boys sports ? No, it seems as though ma ny more people attend the boys sports instead of th e girls. But why is this? Are the boys sports more interesti ng tha n the girls? There doesn 't seem to be a n a nswer to tha t question. Senior Dave Thomas said, "More people go to boys games ra ther than girls games probabl y beca use there seems to be more action. " This leads to yet a nother question . Should the rules of t he girls sports be changed so that the rul es of the boys a nd girls sports, wo uld be the sa me? Girls basketball coach Bill Moore is strongly against t he idea of changing the rules . . C oa ch Moore said , "I think the gi r ls have th e best game in all of Iowa just the way it is now.

There was quite a coincidence in the girls' varsity basketball season compared to the previous season. In the 1978-79 season Jenny Herring was sidelined with a broken bone in her foot for the last part of the season. Taking her place, in a starting role was Trish Higgins. This year, Trish now a junior, was sidelined for the first seven games of the season with a stress fracture in her foot. This left a lot of work to be done by seniors Annette Dimmitt and Damita Brown and junior Lynn Jacobs. They took over the load as Damita averaged 25 points per game. Lynn tossed in 16 and Annette added I 0 per game. Trish came back a nd took a little of the burden off the others, as she scored over 12 points a game. Damita Brown puts up a shot, while Lynn Jacobs looks on. "We weren't used to playing together," Trish said. "There were new faces compared to last year and we didn 't work together like we should have. " Leading the way defensively for the Jackettes were seniors Jeanie Allmon and Sue Brownell. Jeanie and Sue brought down 9.5 and 9.9 rebounds per game respectivel y. Jeanie also had 73 steals for an average of 4.9 thefts per game. After a loss to A.L. in the middle of the season, Tee Jay defeated A.L. 63-57 in the last regular season game, as Jeanie saw it, an emotional victory. "That was the happiest I think I've ever been after a wi n," Jeanie said. In the next game, Tee Jay was stung by Creston in the first round of Sectionals .

Starting out in a rampage, the junior varsity wrestling team jumped out to a 4-1 match record. In those first five matches, the J .V.s outscored their opponents 33-24. The second half of the season seemed to be just the opposite of the beginning, as the Jackets went 1-4-1 , ending the season with a 5-5-1 record . In that time the Jackets were outscored by an average of 25-30 in matches . Burke, the lone victory in the final half, was also the most impressive match of the season, as Tee Jay won 49-6 . Tee Jay's final two losses came from inter-city rivals, A .L., losing 24-36, a nd Lewis Central, losing 11-32 . "The loss to A.L. hurt," Coach Mike Witt said. "We were ahead 24-6, then we got stuck (pinned) five times. " Coach Witt felt the match record was importa nt, but more importa nt was the experience the wrestlers got at the J .V. level.

The girls only participated in three meets , with five girls being the most who competed at any one meet. Although the team was small Coach Moore felt they did a fine job. " Their times really progressed and they ran better in each meet," he said. "I enjoy running and it was fun competing in the meets," said Angie Cronk, " but .

The team consisted of seven girls at one time but sophomore Judy Prince had to drop out because of appendicitis. Other injuries pertaining to gymnastics were sophomores Penny Marriott with a broken hand, and Kelly Zavitz with a jammed finger on her right hand. Kelly was only out for about three days but Penny was out for four weeks. Improvement came slowly. The squad worked harder a nd tried harder too. Coach George Hall was pleased by the girl's scores at the meet against North and Ryan which was much improved . Their highest team score was 80.50. All the girls were very proud of this effort. The s qu a d faired well considering the small size. They only won one meet but gained in experience, which was badly needed. Coach Hall said, " Those that stayed out for the entire season showed dedica tion an d hopefully everyone will return next season." NO BLOOD OR GUTS Intramurals proved to be great entertainment for the participants of volleyball, aerial tennis and floor tennis. "lntramurals are a lot of fun ," said sophomore Kris Madsen, "You can go and have a good time. It gives you a chance to compete just for the fun of it." Other participants were out to win such as senior Les Wolff who said, "It was fun but I was disappointed that I didn't win." As for supervision John Ki nsel proved to be enough. "With more than one supervisor you jus t wind up s ittin g a round a nyway. Nothin g ever happens now that the girls are allowed to participate.

Senior team members, Marti Horacek and Roni Pawloski listen to Coach Bruce Schomberg and Assistant Coach Corine Wray on topics for· an upcoming meet. As the splashes of the pool water were drying, the swimmers were toweling off the · moisture from their bodies. This was usually the sign of the end of a practice for the girls or boys swim teams. Practices were held at Woodrow Wilson Jr. High swimming pool in the summer and were moved to the Downtown YMCA in Omaha as the weather grew colder. Now pool facilities are at easier access because of the new Kirn Jr. High pool and the Lewis Central pool which both opened over this year. "I think the team will do better since they have pools close by," said senior Roni Pawloski. Two freshman girls were on the girls team Annette Hayes and Suzanne Brennemen. These girls were on the team because sports that are not provided in junior high are offered through high school. "I think the team will do better next year, because the people on the team th.is year will have more experience and we will make goals to meet," said sophomore swimmer Mike Darling. Coach Bruce Schomberg hopes that the team will be competitive. Coach Schomberg said, "We' ll never be competitive enough to win Metro or any other contest. Omaha 's Westside is reall y competitive because they have experienced age group swimmers." A record was broken for the girls swim team.

One of those changes was the rearranging of divisions. Tee Jay was grouped with Creighton Prep, Millard, Ralston , Westside and Roncalli, all respectable baseball schools. This regrouping was due to the lid bill passed in Omaha forcing some schools to cut junior varsity baseball out of their budget. Another catch in this season was the playing of home games at 21st and J streets instead of playing at Carter Lake. Sophomore Bill Arrick led the pitching staff with a record of 6-1 and 47 strike outs in 46 innings pitched. Bill a lso had an earned run average of .76 . Leading the way with the bats was junior Jerry Van Roekel and sophomores Rand y Bohnet and Bill Arrick. Jerry hit .440, Ra ndy .412 a nd Bill .383. Of the 16 team members, ten hit .300 or better and 13 hit over .260. Strong points, Coach Jensen said at the beginning of the team quickness. With a team batting average of .331 Coach Jensen must have thought there were termites in the bat rack.

Varsity Baseball If there was a song about the spring varsity baseball season, it could be titled "Heartbreaker." That's how the beginning of the season started out, as the Yellowjackets lost their first three games by one run each. The first two losses came in the late innings of the Prep-Bryan Invitational. Tee Jay didn't get on the winning track until the fourth game against A.L. The Jackets then lost two more games before going 8-3 moving into the T.J .-A.L. Invitational. With a 2-1 record in the tournament, Tee Jay beat A.L. 6-4 for a third place finish a nd a final record of I 19. Seniors John Schnaible, Scott Harrill, Jim Waters and Bill Chapin lead the Yellowjackets in the batting and pitching areas. Schnaible and Harrill hit .322 and .300 respectively. Harrill also had an earned run average (ERA) of 1.96 and a record of 2-4. With a record of 3-0 and an ERA of 1.6 1, Waters lifted the Jackets through the middle part of the season. Chapin was the real leader of the pitching staff with a 4-2 record , 1. 19 ERA a nd 64 strike outs in only 41 and 2/3 inn ings pitched. The pitching staff combined for an ERA of 1.75 and 136 strike outs in 130 and 1/3 innings pitched . Topping the season off Harrill and Chapin earned All-Metro honors. ;. I copy by Pa t Lodes _L.

Why didn 't you come to school yesterday? Why are you checking out? Why are you checking in? These questions were often asked by the secretaries and by Mr. Tom Vincent, Mr. Wayne Mains and Mr. Jim Van Maa nen in the ever-so-popular attendance office. Ma ny different excuses were given. Mrs. Kay Lang, secretary in the attendance office, said that the most commonly used excuses for being tardy were I'm slow, l overslept I'm late l was ' ' stopped by a tra·1 n or 1 had car trouble. But then ' of co Urse, there were some excuses. that were almost un be11.eva bl e. The window . . on the car got stuc k and 1t was snowing out or the elect .. nc1ty went M rs.

A good excuse, which Junior Kelly Tanner tried pulling off once or twice was, "I couldn't very well get to sc hool when I couldn' t find our car keys. " Not having keys to the car does make .it so mewhat difficult to get to school. Reasons for not coming to school, checking in or checking out va ri ed. One anonymous student reported to the attendance office. " The reason why I didn't come to school yesterday is beca use our bathtub clogged up and I couldn 't take a bath. " Everyone knows that without yo ur morning shower or bat h you just couldn 't make it through the day. A bath or shower is a definite eye opener. Senior Stacy Hobbs decided to take a day off from school and go on a fishi ng ex pedit ion . Stacy said that eve n though she never ca ught any fish , she caught a cold which kept her from school for a coupl e more days. Mr. Va n Maanen said th at excuses like these and many other excuses such as, my ca r was sto len, someone slit my tires, or there were no parking pl aces to be found in th e a rea of Tee Jay were used quite frequently . Althou gh people were checking out continuously, th e most popular time seemed to be on the junior a nd se nior P. E. days. The sophomores hadn 't yet rea lized tha t fo rgetting you r gy msuit on your P.E. days was by fa r the most excusa ble excuse. After a ll you had to have your gymsuit or you wo uld get down-graded one full letter grade per day.

Well , it wasn't your eyes playing tricks on you. It was Leroy and Lloyd Schneckloth, one set of six twins at Tee Jay. Leroy and Lloyd are juniors. They were born 5 minutes apart on September 28, 1962. "We share a lot of the same . interests," said Leroy. They both like and . and band. LI are d invol ve d ·in wrestling oy plays the trumpet and Leroy plays the tromb one. 0 ther interests . . are fr~~· cars, food, sports, music, hunting, is mg, and football. Being a twin doesn't bother either one. "I think it's great," said Leroy. And Lloyd said , "It 's fun to confuse people." Leroy and Lloyd aren't onl y brothers but also friend s. They do things together like double-dating, a nd with twins that could prove to be an interesting evening. Leroy and Lloyd aren't the only set of twins in their famil y. They have twin cousins on one side of the famil y a nd a twin grandmother on the other side.

Teachers spend anywhere from four to six year at college before finally being a licensed instructor. After this, each teacher must take six semester hours every five years to keep up with new techniques in education . Base pay for the I 979-80 school year was $I 0,450 for a beginning teacher in their first year. This was one of the lowest starting salaries anywhere in the state of Iowa . The longer a teacher teaches the higher the sa la ry goes , to a point. T eachers were paid once a month a nd to most of the working people payday is either every week or every two week . Teachers a re just like people although so me students thin k differently. They have their bad days and good days. All teachers teach in many different ways. First there a re those who believe in homework everynight, surprise quizes a nd four page tests with essay questions to boot. Then the exact opposite that a re more or Jess . easy going open book tests, a nd not that much homework. Whatever the teac hing method the main objective remains the sa me.

Eith er their hair isn't combed, their shirts were untucked , tie crooked, or that wasn't the outfit they wanted on when the student photographer took them. Then have you ever tried to write 32 different blocks of copy on teachers? They're not very interesting and if you do get an interesting story on a teacher you find out it was already in the yearbook before. So in this section we tried to be a little di fferent.

No one to blame No one to rely on Just a pair of skates Not very many people ca n go to the Olympics and sweep a ll of the med a ls out of one ca tegory, but that 's exactly what Dne man did. During the week of Februa ry 12, a young college st udent from the University of Wisconsi n, Eric Heiden, swe pt a ll the men 's events on his way to becoming the greatest speed skater in hi story. Heiden won a gold in the 500, the 1,000, the 1,500, th e 5,000 and the 10,000 meters, a total of fi ve gold meda ls. In the 10,000 meters Eric skated his way into slicing 6.20 seconds off the world record . He cl ocked a 14:28 .13. According to Time M agazi ne, Febru a ry 1980, when Eric was asked to give a good definition of speed skating he said, "It' a clean sport. Th ere is no one else to blame: no one to rel y on. You just have a pa ir of ska tes.'' Hockey anyone? Coun se lor Kell y Scott a nswers a ca ll from a college representa tive who wa nts to come to Tee J ay to ta lk with interes ted students.

And when the school year progressed through the month of May, tornadoes were not completely out of the question . By June 18, 1980 Council Bluffs a nd neighboring Nebraska residents ha d received ( pa rdon the expression) a piece of the rock. Although the volca nic Mt. St. Helens erupted initia ll y on May 18, it only wai ted until Friday, Jun e 13 , to spout more volca nic as h hundreds of miles into the ai r, one of the worst of three springtime eruptions. Even though we were far enough away to be spared destruction from volca ni c as h - Mother Nature ha d something else up her sleeve for us. H a il. Pi ng pong ball a nd golf ba ll size hai l fell for a pproxi mately fifteen minutes, hard a nd heavy. So ha rd that it broke out car wi ndshields, severely da maged rooftops, dented car exteriors an d mas hed gardens into the ground, ga rdens that only minutes before grew thick and plentiful. Amateur a nd professional farme rs alike, lost whatever ha d been planted. T he southern western a nd Lake Ma nawa areas of 'council Bluffs were hit the ha rdest. ' At school the roof a bove the little gym was. demolished, leaki ng water below it into the libr ary. A n d a 1arge bite-size piece of the smokestack near the band room ha d been blown to the ground in chunks and crumbs of plaster a nd cement. Less than one week earlier, on June 12, winds and rains swept through the midlands, uprooting trees, tumbling large branches onto houses a nd a utos the next closest thing to a tornado. This, too, passed through quickly but caused enough da mage to leave resi dents clea ning up sidewa lks, a nd yards for weeks to come. And still a week earlier Gra nd Island, Nebraska, received the rea l thing - a de moli shing, life-threate nin g tornado . Totalling homes, stores , churches, compa nies. Killing people. Injuring people. People were left with only th e clothes on their backs, a nd a debris sca ttered city . R ea l to only those who have lived through . s u.ch a catastrophy .

We can always be sure we'll walk down the hall and then right in the middle of it , there will be so meo ne stopped by th eir guy or ·girl giv ing them a "quick" kiss goodbye. . Then there's th e guy and girl in th e corner, we have to give them credit though, a t least th ey' re not in the middle of the hall.

"I think if they can 't do it in pri vate then they don 't need to do it in school, it's pretty disgusting. They're making our halls "R" - rated."

Leinen Happy to Walk On Nov. 15, 1976, all of my fun and exci t ing times in school came to an end. During a basketball game while pla ying for Wilson Junior High I suffered a n extremely torn cartilage in my right knee. The next thing I knew I was laying in t he hospita l recuperating from surgery. A few months later I started a very vigorous physica l therapy program a t the hospital. I ha d to be ready for the Tee J ay so ftba ll season. Things went fairly well except for a little crunching a nd grinding occas ionally.

Two weeks before the first game my knee beca me pai nful a nd after the fir st game, I went to the doctor who told me to hang up my spikes. Another operation was set to fix my torn cartilage. This operation was more painful tha n the first. Two months later I started a nother vigorous physical therapy system but this time a t home. I wanted to play bas ketba ll for Tee J ay. Bas ketba ll was my favo rite sport so I practiced every da y. I lifted weights everyday to get my knee rea dy. The pain in my knee kept lingering so I was forced to see the orthopedic surgeon aga in. My spo rts career was over and I had a very complicated operation agai n. At the time I woke up in the recovery room I wished I was dead. That surgeon had done ma ny things to my knee to leave me in extreme pai n. Tod ay I am finally walking without crutches. Th ey see med to be a part of my body afte r using th em for a year a nd a ha lf. A three-hundred doll ar, Joe Namath knee brace is the only thing that is keeping me from limping a nd a fourth ope ratio n. The last three yea rs were tim es I could have done without. I guess I should be ha ppy to have two legs an d am ab le to walk, but it's hard to face so met hings in life. People don ' t realize how lucky they a re to participate in everything they want until they a ren ' t physica ll y able. To sit and watch fellow students participate in sports is fun at times, but ha lf of the time can turn into being VERY depress ing . Just being a ble to walk norma l and wit hout pain is somethi ng everybody takes for granted. My sports yea rs a re lon g ove r a nd I have changed from at hl et ic-mind ed to scholar-minded. I a m going to go to college and be a n orthopedic surgeon. copy by Tamm y Lein en .. c: c: ·;:;"' Juni ors Gina Simonetti a nd Sheri Hayes and sen ior Anita Duke a ll ge t a chu ck le ..J >..

They talked about some of the ba nd 's experiences a nd the ba nd members asked a lot of questions a bout Iowa. " Rick thought everyone from Iowa lived on a farm and milked cows," Annette Browning said. Jim Wilcox, the drummer, asked them if th ey wa nted to go to a party at the Hilton .

E E ~ £ 0 0 -a A bit of fr iend ly advice for Senior Mike Thomas comes from footba ll coach Pat O "Do herty "hi le watching over the stud ents during the lu nch periods in the ca feteri a. Academics -~ 143 Tubes buzz with cable "We just got our cable a week ago (on March 27). I think it's pretty neat. You can always find some cartoons on it," senior Diane Weed said. American Heritage, cablevision distributor, began running their cable along the telephone poles during the winter. And before school got out a lot of students had it in their homes. According to Debbie Neighbors, ca blevision worker, anyone in the Council Bluffs city limits can have cable TV for $18 .85 a month. This price includes the Star Movie cha nnel, which shows movies 24 hours a day and 19 other channels. For each TV a small recta ngular channel selector replaces the one a lready on the TV . The one on t he TV must be set on C ha nnel 2 a nd left there. A ft er that the customers use t he new one for their cable selections. A lso since the cable atta ches direct Iy to the TV cus- tomers no longer need a ntennas. "I really like the Home Box Office channel. I don ' t have the Star Cha nnel though . I really enjoy watching TV and I don ' t like going to the movies," Mr. Rich Wede said. "I really enjoy the wide variety of shows that I get with cablevision. " Besides the Star Movie Channel , cablevision has another movie channel called (HBO) Home Box Office. This channel doesn' t have the 24 hour movies, but it shows similar movies five or six times a day. No X-rated movies are shown, but there are several R-rated ones. The movie cha nnels have a n addition called the parenta l key. This gives the pa rents the option of shutting off the TV's movie c han nels if they don't want their kids to wa tch a ny certain shows. "I think it 's pretty good, except they show the same movies over on the Star Movie cha nnel ", sophomore Kathy Muehler sa id . copy by Bob Gibler Mrs. Joyce Schoeppner goes over a n assignment with junior Ba rt .... ..c: .N "' 0 u c: ...,"'"' >. ..0 0 0 a. ..c: Mr. J erry Ra uterkus ta kes a ttend a nce in his Modern Problems Class.

It helped him as he went for his daily walk. He has done this for many, many years and each day it seems slower a nd slower. Everybody marks the time of day when he walks. Everyone knew how much he loved the sights, listening to the birds sing and watching the leaves fall in the autumn . The old ma n's face was covered with wrinkles but boy did his face glow when the sun sparkled on him . His eyes are sometimes watery a nd sometimes his sight is not perfect, but his eyes still glow and sparkle when he remembers loved ones and special things. The old man 's speech is slow, halting and sometimes he repea ts but how he tells his story of when he was young and the good ol'days. What I remember best is his soft smile which shines through out the day. Even though his hands are swollen with arthritis and it must be very painful for him, he still takes out his pocketknife and does his favorite pastime; whittling. Then he stops a nd fills his pipe. The aroma lets you know that he enjoys it. · Even though his steps a re slow and his eyes a re dimmed, he has a heart of gold a nd th at's what makes him so lova ble. He really makes you feel as if you a re something special. The old man is always cheerful, neve r dow n, and he is always there to lend a helping hand a nd give gentle advice. In the mid-afternoon, you can see him sitting on his porch swing telling his stories a nd adventures to the neig hbor kids. Boy, how I used to love hea ring the sto ries he told . What I enjoyed the most was walking ha nd-in-h a nd a nd just talk ing, enjoying the country sights. Sometimes we would go fishi ng down by a little creek and catch so me blue gi ll , bass, a nd sometimes nothing at all. We had fun just sitti ng on the ba nk putting our feet in the cold water. The old creek used to be the old swimming hole where all the children ga th ered a round on a n hot summer da y. On one of the old cottonwood trees still hung an old tire swing. How his eyes lit when he remem bered those happy years in his boyhood when his whole ga ng sw ung out over the creek, yelling, splashing a nd hav in g fun. He sat quietl y refilli ng his pipe, gathering all his thoughts, slowl y sta nding up reaching for his ca ne, muttering to himself, as we walked back toward his little ol'shack. I slowly wa lked behind him not wa nting to disturb his thoughts. I woke up one morning because I coul d see it was going to be a bea utiful day, the sun shone brigh tly through the wi nd ow. There was a speci al glow in the sky a nd I was goi ng to visit the old man's h o u ~e . I sprang out of my bed and put on my blue jeans and a nice shirt a nd was ready to go visit the old man.

Sophomores 1 3 Stumbling In When we, the sophomore class, wa lked through the doors into Tee Jay's hall , that first day of school , we found out th at from the beginning, high school was going to be a totall y different experience for us. We walked into the fieldhou se a nd were awed by the size of it a nd by how many students were crammed into it. It wasn't ha rd to spot the so phomores. We were the ones with the pa le a nd sick looks on our faces, _ a mixture of exci tement and sheer terror. "On tha t first day of school I remember that I was sca red to death a nd I wanted my mother! " Sheryl Ba rtels reme mbers. The whole first week of school was a confused series of wa lking into the wrong classes, trying to loca te bathrooms, a nd reading the school map in the stud ent handbook a nd getting even more mixed up. We had to be careful who we asked for directions or we might end up in a storage closet or a bat hroom for the opposite sex. How were we supposed to know room 138 was tucked back in th e co rn er or that the driver ed classroo m was cleverly hidden just outsi de the fieldhouse ? As we go t used to our sc hool, our op in ions of rules, teachers, classes, st ud ents, and the school itself were formed . Most of us fo und th e good points in almost everyt hin g. The wid e va ri ety of courses offered was something th e majority of sophomores approved of. "I have a better choice of classes," Ja ni e Olsen said. Still others were ela ted with the freedo m we had with open campus. We fe lt privi leged to be able to leave th e school grounds during lunchtime if we wanted to ea t out or just to visit with fr iends. "We have more freedom " co mmented Tammy Gold b ' Wh s erry. . en we started hi gh sc hool, it was _li ke falling off the ladder a nd starting over agai n· " I' m a t th e bottom of the stack agai . n.'

Being a sophomore showed us th a t things had to be taken se riou sly in order to prosper in the a reas we chose. Many of us got to know th e teachers better a nd liked a lot of th em. Goodmond Da nielse n said, " Teac hers trea t you better." Rel a ting to th e teac hers at Tee Jay is a lso a lot easier than ta lking to so me of the teac hers we had in grade school. As the yea r bega n to end , high school was no longer th at terrifying a nd awesome thing we had built it up to be. We had adju sted to life in a high school. Open campus beca me a necessity instead of a privilege. Juniors a nd seniors fin all y yie lded a little a nd let us fit in more a mong them . We sophomores la ugh not a t how we could have gotten lost in a school as easi ly as we did . It seems now that there's a restroom eve rytime yo u turn a round although on our first day we co uldn 't find one. Even as tenth graders, we've already had our sha re of embarrassing moments a nd mem ora ble eve nts. " I will neve r forget th e tim e I was put up ont o th e pop mac hines," sai d Bob McCowan . Cindy Dofner will " never forget the endl ess nights of det ention " a nd Christine Piercy will a lways remember her struggle to find homeroo m on th e first day. Others wi ll not forget tripping down the sta irs, running over the curb in Driver's Ed , a nd a lmost buying a n elevator pass from a se ni or. Overa ll, our sop homore class wa s a gro up of kids who, in a few months time, found th a t going to Tee Jay meant growing up , lea rnin g a nd expe ri enci ng ma ny new thin gs. Most of us found it to be pretty good. Juli e Felker sa id , " It used to be didn ' t wa nt to go to sc hool. Now I can't wait for the a la rm to go off so I ca n go to high sc hool.

L ittle King's, Godfathers, a nd Spaghetti Works were for the kids who liked a quieter time with places to sit and eat. Westroads gave people a chance to wa lk around , wi nd ow shop, or see a movie. Mid night shows were run there on weekends a nd the Tee Jay night-owls loved the scary movies and rock films tha t were shown. Once in a while, Tee Jay gangs wou ld go somewhere different, but usually they stayed in the same places . Most a ny student cou ld tell of some memorable thing that has happened in "t heir" hang-outs. Ha ngout were a place to be a teenage_r and truly act like one.

With constantly rising gas prices, st udents who are now faced with buying a car have a different outlook than past years. In past years students have looked strictly for a car of their liking, but now they may have to give up looks for m.p.g. (miles · per gallon). When I went out to buy a car I went looking for a car that not only looked good but also ran well. I wouldn't imagine buying a car with a 4 or 6 cylinder engine. I wanted some power. Something that would get me where I wanted to go quickly. I found it. It took me a year of looking but I found what I wanted. A 1972 Monte Carlo with a Y-8 engine, air conditioning, etc, all the gasguzzling extras. Now I pay for them everytime I pull up to the gas pump. My Monte gets about 12-14 m .p.g. depending on how I drive it and whether or not I use the air conditioning. It costs me about $20 a week for gas during the winter, which is essential driving only. During the summer when the car sees more mileage, much of it on Broadway, it ranges from $20-$40 a week. On Friday and Saturday night Broadway turns . into a parade of flashy cars, loud pipes, big tires, mag wheels and loud stereos. Just sit in a parking lot and you can listen to the radio as cars go by. Some of the cars that are out on these nights aren't seen all week long, but they burn up enough gas on those two nights to make up for a normal person's week-long driving. Some of these cars get a mere 3-10 miles per gallon. There's the 426 Mopar Hemi - the 454 LS-6 Chevy, the 429 Ford Cobrajet, just to mention a few. As gas increases it still isn 't likel y that these cars will disa ppear, they may just be driven less often . These cars are designed and built for one thing. Performance! Turning 13 second quarter miles at I 00-110 miles per hour or better. But with today's gas prices, who can afford to drive a car like that, that runs on premium or higher grades of gas only. Most people can't even afford regular. The students of ·today need to consider not only M.P.H. but M.P.G. copy by Brian Pearce Anna Gusman Lea Gustafson Sonja Gutha Jim Hall Lon Hampton Marie Hampton Cheryl Hanson Mike Ha nson Sue Hashberger Bill Haven Opal H aven Mike Hawkins Teresa Headlee Teresa Headley Bill Hearn Pam Heistand Keith Herndon Marti n Hiatt Brian Higginbotham Mike Higginbotham Sophomores ~ 159 Debbie Hill ers Denise Hillman Jac kie Himes Tracy Hi ve ly Todd Hodge Scott Hovinga Tracy Hu ff John Hug Li sa Hulbert Angie Hunt Teresa Hutchiso n Tonj a Hytrek Cind y Jackso n Donn ette Jand a Ken Janecek Lore nda Janes Ki m Jenkins Linda Johnso n Ta mmy Jo hnso n Tom Johnso n Vick ie Jo hnso n Jobi Jo hnsto n Ro nda Jones Pa ul a Jos lin Tammy Jos lin Steve Kai n Sue Kar is Ch Janet Ke ll y ris Ke nn edy Jinny Kline , Cassie Kn·ipc K. irk Kochler Ra nd y Koh lschcen Karl La mberth Ke rr i La mphear 160 Soph omores Do you have a sick dog , cat, or ferret? Well , if you do, take it to Ma ry Riley to see what's ailing it. For nine months, Ma ry, a sophomore, has been ta king care of a nim a ls. She works a t the Animal Hos pita l of Council Bluffs. "Ever since the fourth grade I've wa nted to be a veterinarian. This job is rea ll y teac hing me a lot. " Mary said. The way Mary got her job was kind of by luck. She was on the Boa rd of Directors for the Ma rch of Dimes a nd so was the a nim a l hospital 's vet, Dr. Har ry Schumacher. "We got to ta lking one day a bout the classes I needed to take to be a vet," Mary sa id, "and he as ked if I'd like a job ta king care of the a nim als. Since no qu a Ii fica lions were necessa ry, I took it." Mary's work includes doing lab work, ta king blood tests, making presc riptions a nd doin g examinations. She also ass ists in surgery by admini stering a nesthesia a nd oxygen to the patients. Sometimes she just comforts the a nim als by holdin g them. "I'm really happy about Ma ry's job," said Mrs. Riley. "Besides good experience, it gives her some insight so she knows what she's getting herself into ." "I reall y enjoy my work.

But when it came to openin g the door, that was don e very gently a nd slowl y. Why, beca use yo u could find the world 's la rges t collection of junk in a locke r at Tee J ay. Bes ides being a storage place for books, folders, pens, pencils a nd coats, many people thou ght tha t their locker was a n ex tra closet. Junior J ea n Aldredge had so me glasses of her mot her's that she brought pop to scho~I in a nd forgot to ta ke them home. One reason for a lot of junk was beca use there were a lot of people in one locker. " Th ere a re three people including me in m y loc ke r a nd a ll three are in ba nd . With three ba nd uniforms, a clarinet, flut e a nd viol a there rea lly isn't a ny room for th e things th at a re supposed to be there," sai d senior Carole Heck.

Bes id es th e norm a l things th a t cheerleaders a nd pep club members do like decora ting lockers with ba lloons, strea mers a nd candy, junior Gordon Dea rborn has a gargoyle head in hi s locker. Now the mai n problem with hav ing a lot of junk in your locker is you could have a n "avalanche." As sophomore Mike Vincent said, " I opened my locker door and before I could stop it , WHOOSH, BAM , SLAP, CRASH , it bl ew me down the hall." . ~hy do people leave a ll thi s junk 111 their lockers? "We don' t like to clean it" sa id sophomore Amy Moore. Sophomore Lori Bentz says she ha ted to carry things hom e. But th e lockers in the ha ll s are n't the only storage pl aces. There a re lockers in th e locker rooms a nd in th e mac hine shop. For th e Signa l a nd Yearbook sta ffs there are drawers in the J ourn a lism room . If you were to ope n a ny one of those drawers you would most likely find a disaster. In Senior Mary Tedesco's d rawer you could find gy m clothes, coats, food a nd books. Senior Stacy Hobbs says, " I give my drawer 2 more weeks before it coll apses." So when you go home a nd can 't find something in your closet, remember to check closet number 2, a t school. copy by Avita Burroughs t I ,.

At Tee Jay there are three main groups that take surveys: the Yea rbook staff, the Signa l staff, a nd th e Student Council. Despite the shrieks and gasps of homeroom a nd stud y hall survey victims, teachers ha nd out the polls a nd pick them up faithfully. During the year, Tee Jay stud ents were given surveys on a wide va riet y of things ra nging from opinions on dru gs, bookies, and Ira n Crisis, loveboa ters to opinions on ta king opinion poll s. In a survey, students sou nded off on what they think about surveys . One student sa id , "They sometimes ge t too nosey a nd don' t have a ny rcleve ncc."

Giving birth to twins is a very infrequent ha ppening. According to research , twins occur once in every 88 births. Jeanne Brown sa id th a t she and her twin brother, J ohn , a re sometimes looked up to because they a re twins . Being a twin has its ups a nd down s. Twins seem to be trea ted differently especially by children. Everyone loves to see a se t of twin s pl ayi ng together in identical outfits. Jobi John ston sa id she a nd her sister, Jodi, dressed the same until a bout third grade. "In ninth grade we had the same dresses for graduation," Jobi sa id . "We won' t wea r them at the sa me time now. " "The teachers so metimes expect us to do th e sa me work or get the sa me g rades," Jeanne Brown sa id. Al.I the twins ha ve experienced thi s Boy /Girl twins a re unul suaL Fo~r John a nd Jea nn e Brown there is no prob em in te mg th~ni apa rt. 168 -·~ ~ at one time or another. People expect them to be alike because they were born so close together. The twin s will in sist tha t they ea ch have their own personality. John a nd Jeanne Brown admit to having interests in common, but Jobi claims she and Jodi have no common interests . "What she likes, I don ' t and wha t I like she doesn' t, " Jobi said. The twins at Tee J ay look quite a bit alike, but when they a re put together, the resemblance doesn' t see m that great. The confusion is still th ere though . " People ·will a lways as k who's who," said Jeri Dasovich . She and her sister, Teri , were purposely separated in elementary school so the teachers would be a ble to tell them apart. Jodi and Jobi Johnston were often confused for each other when they were younger a lthough Jobi never thought they looked alike. The difference in hai r styles di scourages most mix-ups. John a nd Jea nne Brown may have been ha rd to tell a pa rt as ba bies but there is not much difficulty now th a t they a re older. There a re ups a nd d ow ns of hav in g a twin brother or siste r, as there are with having an older or younger siblin g. "You get in a lot of fight s," Jobi sa id. There a re a rgum ents a bout th e usual things siblings a rgu e a bo ut ; clothes, grades, who gets to watch wha t on T.V. , things like that. But most of the time the twins get a lon g fin e. They rea lize they are grateful of eac h o th er's company a nd rea ll y would fee l a lo ne without th e oth er.

When retake day came, the number had dwindled. All in all, there was a grand total of 254 sophomores and juniors who ditln 't have their picture taken by the school photographer, 110 sophomores and 144 juniors. Although the price for pictures this yea r was lower than in previous years ma ny people still didn't take advantage of the bargain price of $2.30. Activities Director Don Schwertley said he felt that for the price paid the qua lity of the pictures was "satisfactory.'' Why the lack of enthusiasm in getting school pictures taken? Sophomore Ken Birdsley said the qual ity of the pictures left a lot to be desired. Ken said he thought the pictures were better when Bob Pyles took them.

Their customers were usually pleased with the quality of their work and had grown accustomed to it. Then last year, a new system for choosing photographers was worked out by the School Board. A bid sheet was put out for the school district and the local-metro area photographers submitted bids on several different packages. The photographer who bid the lowest on each package was the one who took the pictures. Dick Harding took them last year and this year it was Allen Snyder, under the direction of Earle Gardner. Some students objected to not receiving an 8" by IO" picture in their package as in previous years. Although one of the packages bid on included an 8" by 10", Tee Jay chose the package with a 5" by 7" Although quite a few people reacted negatively to the way the pictures were taken, not everyone disliked them.

"I feel that they are pretty good," Mary Jo said, "although if you get them taken at a studio, they are better.'' The complaint of the yearbook staff was that some people posed with their hands by their faces or with stuffed toys. For the sake of consistency, we think it's better if all of the sophomore and junior pictures are basicall y the same pose with no hands or other objects in the pictures. Other people gave tudio photographs for us to use which made things even more complicated. It was offered to all sophomores and juniors that they could have their pictures taken for yearbook use, free of charge. Apparently. many people didn't know or care about this offer. Hopefully the procedure for taking pictures will be more organized and many more people will be able to appear in the yearbook n xt year. copy by Lori Bentz Mike Sh aw Ricky Shaw Rae lee n Shoemaker Steve Shoemaker Sara h Simpson J im Skow Carol Smiler Bob Smith Mike Stoops Brent Taylor Tim Thomas Rand y Vanderpool Matt Walker Debra Ward ~··- ~ 169 Instead of the usual clubs a nd organi za ti ons copy of who's in the club a nd how many members it has, Lisa Petry. editor of this clubs a nd organizations section felt it would be benefici a l a nd more interestin g to see just what these clubs do.

Trenchcoats, sunglasses, funny hats, and students armed with newspapers, the swarm makes its grand entrance into the fieldhouse. The Swarm was warned after the first game they attended by Mr. Jim Yan Maanen and Mr. Don Schwertley because their chants were censored. The Swarm ignored the warnings and kept going for a couple more games. But when the going got rough, they quit. Members decided if they couldn't put down the other team by using their tacky chants then it wasn't worth having a Swarm. "I thought it was neat how they got everyone going in the games they attended," said Senior Cheerleader Stacy Hobbs The Swarm received too much recognition for what they did. Even Vice President Mondale mentioned them on television while on his visit to Tee Jay. They got everyone riled up at the games. If only they could've kept the chants clean. "I was the leader of the Swarm. I liked everything about it except the people who tried to overpower us. By limiting what we could do they destroyed the atmosphere we created," senior Mike Wood said. While the Swarm consisted of mos tly guys, Pep Club was dominated by girls. Pep Club, in its second year, seemed bigger than the new club it was last year. Members were really enthusiastic at football games, but when basketball season came around they seemed scarce. Locker tags seemed to be the big thing Pep Club did to promote spirit and give the athletes support. A locker tag was a sign made by Pep Club members that was put on the locker with a good luck message for an upcoming event. But despite the hard work that went into them most were torn down as soon as they were put up . "We made a lot more locker tags this year," said Pep Cl ub secreta ry Karilyn Sealock. Bake sales, car washes, and selling buttons were other activities the club did througho ut the year. " l joined Pep Club because I liked the idea of not having to try out for anything," sa id member Christie Pearcy. ..c: (.) ·:;: 0 ~ <> -, <> :.;;; (.)

At the last home football game, both the varsity and sophomore captains quit the squad, leaving them with two co-captains in charge. Kathy Love and Dawn Runyon both remained co-captains, Lori Christensen was elected as a third. Each captain had their own squad and were assigned an equal amount of games. The pep assemblies were under the organization of the cheerleaders and each one seemed to get worse. By Janu a ry 8, 1980, one sport was even forgotten ; Wrestling.

It was only the second year Miss Doree Ward has been the T J RA Sponsor. "Hopefully next year I' ll know more about what I'm doing," Miss Ward said. Ceramic Club sponsor Mr. Steve Peters is hoping that by having had ceramics as a mini-course more people will get involved in the club next year. Forty-five people signed up for T JRA. Initiation, a Halloween hayrack ride, campouts, a Christmas party, Spring banquet, horseback riding and a Dinner Theatre were only a few of the things the club did throughout the year. They also had fund raising projects such as a Jogathon and selling candy and stuffed a nimals to raise money for their Spring Banquet. As for Ceramics Club 20 members signed up. But there were never over 12 members at each meeting. Meetings were held every Tuesday after school. Ceramics Club had a lot of help from other teachers. Mrs. Jennifer Dickenson, Miss Deb Parrot and Mrs. Julie O' Doherty also helped sponsor it. An occasional trip for greenware was made otherwise the club just worked on completing their ceramic projects. Some of the big things that were made in ceramics club were the Tee Jay medallions. Those little plaques that look like a nickel with Thomas Jefferson's face on it really got a round . According to Mr. Peters, not only Gove;-nor Robert Ray a nd Superintendent Raj Chopra have one but also the Vice-President of the United States , Walter Mondale, was given one while on a visit to Tee Jay. Jun ior Sheryl Phillips said, "I joined last year just to see what was going on a nd stayed with it because it's cheaper than bu ying things from a store a nd it 's also more fun ." copy by Teresa Harken .... ..c: .NOl 0 u <.) c: Ol ....., » ..c 0 0 ..c: 0.

It was on a Tuesday morning in March, juniors Sheryl Sinclair and Jeanette Fisher were walking through the halls and they passed Room 302. They peeped through the windows and saw junior Thespia n Don Welch singing "Happy Birthday" to junior Rich Anderson. Sheryl and Jeanette started laughing because they sent the sing-o-gram to Rich . "It was pretty funny , I would have felt really dumb it if was me, " said Sheryl. Birthday Sing-0-Grams were a popular sales item for the Thespian Troupe, " I had no idea they'd be so popul a r. We' re making $50 a month. " Thespian sponsor John Gibson said. . The Thespians were side-tracked from just sticking to birthdays within the school, though. Pretty soon they ended up a t restaurants , other schools, and singing for other occasions besides birthdays. One dollar could bu y a Thespian of your choice to sing "Happy Birthday" to anyone you wanted . For $2.50 a Thespian of your choice in a clown costume would sing to whomever. A five dollar order Sing-0-Gram had everything a$2. 50 order has plus a decorated cake. A Thespi a n in costume singing "Ha ppy Birthday" with a cake plus a pie to throw in the person 's face cost $10. "Most of the students I sang to felt dumb or they got mad," Thespian Renee St. Pierre said, "It was fun, I got to ma ke a fool out of the person l was singing to ." Even though ma ny people didn ' t know the meaning behind Thespi a ns, they knew when they saw a clown walking down the ha ll it must be a Thespian. Thespia ns a re so ca ll ed beca use they belong to the Internationa l Thespi a n Society, which is a type of honor soc iety for people who a re interested in theatre a nd participa te in dramatic act ivities. First semes ter officers were Conn ie Fernley as Pres id ent, Don Welch as vice-president, Laurie Hendrix as secreta ry a nd Paul Gilmore as treasurer. Second semester officers were Renee St. Pierre as president, Kelly Mart inda le as first vice-presid ent and Jack Ma haffey as second vice-president. Do you have poise, grace and sta bility?

Clubs -~ 183 "And now ladies and gentlemen for your halftime entertainment, I introduce, Thomas Jefferson High School majorettes, Jean Aldredge, Rose Baker, Kelly Conner, Mary Nelson, and Susan Swanson." During each halftime performance the five girls twirled their regular batons, hoop batons, and fire batons to the music of the marching band. The girls have been taking lessons for close to 10 years from Paulette Leonard, but now Paulette just gives the girls pointers whenever they need them. When the girls were younger their dream was to someday be majorettes for Tee Jay, now their dream has come true. " My dream was to twirl for Tee Jay, now my dream is to twirl for Iowa State," said majorette Rose Baker During football season the girls practiced for hours at Paulette's house with a tape_ recordin_g of th<;_ band playing their music. The girls did all of this just to get a routine that would make the spectators want to stay in the stands during halftime. They also practiced every morning before school with the band. Paulette said, "The girls, I think, really added a lot to the halftime, I'm really proud of them. " Band proved yo u have to be willing a nd want to practice if you want to be good. Whe~ the weather permitted the band practiced man y mornings before school and man y evenings too. One thing that could be said about the band was that they rea lly got into their music. Unlike orchestra there were more than enough enthused members. Before man y of our assemblies yo u could tell the ba nd was coming because yo u could hea r them coming down the halls playing their instruments as loud as they could.

What's in this room? Room 205 holds many talented girls who are looking into their future working careers. These girls a re members of the Office Education Club (O .E.). The girls practice dictation, typing, and many other things dea ling with office work. The girls go to Des Moines every year to compete in the state contest. This year the girls didn 't do real well but they still had nice time. Mrs. Julie O'Doherty, the spo nsor of the club, said that at least they didn't come home completely empty handed. While at state, on Las Vegas Night, the girls won a stereo to bring back home. Upon their return home the girls sold raffle tickets to help pay for their Employer-Employee Banquet. The Banquet was held at the Top of the World and each of the girls invited their boss as their guests. Roberta Wilson, Carolyn Worden and Linda Skudler were voted by the class as the most Outstanding Office Education Students. The three girls were elected on their class act1v1t1es, participation in clubs a nd their performance on the job. The Office Practice class taught by Mrs. Phylis Wichman , was basically the same as the Office Education Program . The Office Practice Class took field trips to Mutua l of Omaha a nd to the city courthouse. a Miss Mary Siebrecht, Food Service Co-op teacher, looks over the worksheet of senior Lori Dettmann a nd then tells her to go on to the nex t ass ignment.

Having pride in Council Bluffs is wha t it's all about. Pride Week. A week filled with activities to bring the people of Council Bluffs together and to make the peopl e realize what they have to be proud of in their community. This year the second a nnua l Pride Week was held May 4-10. There were a number of a ctivities for all ages throughout the week a nd free entertainment was provi ded every night for the public a t Bayliss Park. Some of the different activities of the week were Teacher's Day, a new idea for this year's Pride Week. This day was to recognize teachers and their importance. Law day was held so students from local schools could take the pl ace of elected a nd a ppointed city a nd county officials for a da y. Ba nd-Orch-A-Ra ma consisted of elementa ry, junior high , a nd high school ba nd a nd orchestra students performing at the Council Bluffs Fieldhouse.

Clubs ~ 193 Room 223 usually has a deadline. Students in this room are free to use the phone in back and can get up and walk around whenever they please. They are free to go interview but all this must be done in the line of work. The above sounds as though it's party time every day . But putting out a publication for the school, that's what goes on in Room 223. For both the paper, The Signal and the yearbook, the Monticello, we tried to write stories to inform and keep the interest of our readers. Not all was fun and games, in comparison Signal was a breeze, yearbook was a tornado. At times the Signal class was -touch and go. It seemed that all through the year, there were those tha t worked hard and those that worked hard at doing nothing. Ads always seemed to cause numerous problems. They were a necessity to finance the pa per but sometimes they took up too much space. Personalities seemed to clash at times. Tension always peaked around deadline time for both Signal and yearbook. Maybe one reason Signal class didn't have as much trouble like yearbook class, every other week, Signal staffers saw their stories and work in print. While yearbook staffers had to wait until the fall of the next year. T he trouble started brewing in yea rbook during first quarter. We had plenty of great ideas and plans for the book . . . but no one actually worked to complete their pages. There were still those days when the staffers got down in the dumps but when the going got tough the tough got going. Staffers on The Signal and on the yearbook were eligible to be members of the Quill and Scroll National Honor Society. These people had to meet certain requirements. to be selected for Quill a nd Scroll, accord ing to yearbook adviser Deb Pogemiller.

The theme of the dance was " A Night With the Stars," and the colors were gold, si lver, red and black. "I liked the theme because it was a lot of fun to dress to. You could dress more elegant and the colors were easy to match," senior Kristi Dow said. A big noticeable change was the new location for the dance. Snoball was held in the new cafeteria/commons area instead in the traditional New Fieldhouse. "I liked the cafeteria because it was a bigger and cleaner environment," Dow said. There were opposing opinions though . Freshman Emily Arnold said, "I liked the gym better because it was darker and had a stage. It was better for the court members because everybody could see them , but in the cafeteria, there wasn ' t really a space for court to get noticed." Matt Renshaw and Amanda Rounds were crowned king and queen. "I was happy to be on court," Ren shaw said. "I had no idea l was going to win . It's a good feeling though to know my classmates voted for me." When attending these special events, students always take some kind of memory with them that they will never forget. Sophomore Jacqui Slater 's memory isn ' t a typical experience. "I will never forget when the bat flew through the cafeteria and everybody started screaming. It was gross but funny at the same time," Slater said. Students should take advantage of these kinds of events because they can only experience them once. Senior Dav id Calloway said , "This was the first dance I had ever been to and Snoball I am glad I went.

"My freshman year, when I came to school and saw what was happening to it, I felt like throwing up," junior Ethan Bartels said. As most would easily admit, this process has not exactly left our school in tiptop shape. "I really wish bugs would quit falling from the ceiling onto my desk," English teacher Brook Bunten said. Biology teacher Lori Williams speaks along the same lines," The walls are different colors and I have holes in my carpet." Teachers and students correspond that the construction is taking too long. "I don 't think that the end results will be worth it because they' re doing more than they need to and it's taking too long," sophomore Michelle Sparr said. Teachers agree, saying they would have tried to complete one section at a time. "I would make sure it was done ri ght in the first place," Ms. Bunten said. The view on the end of the process is a different story, however. "I like the new ceilings," Mrs. Williams said. "They ' re just a little low, but nice." Ms. Bunten shares her view on the subject, "I defi nitely think the end results will be worth the inconveniences because nice schools instill a sense of pride," she said. - ~·ry ~y -'rs1.fe111. ~,l.,.rJs•" - Th e window on th e third f loor waits to be placed.

Unfortunately, a lot of students didn't like the new rules that were being enforced. "I think some of the rules are too strict this year," sophomore Taylor Reikofski said. There was a new truancy policy that the students had to follow. A truant was defined as, "Any child who fails to attend school without a reasonable excuse shall be defined as truant. " If a student is reported as truant, they are assigned a detention from the teacher of the class that was missed. There was also a new homework rule a lot of students had trouble keeping up with. "I don 't really like the new homework rule, because they only give you one chance to do it before you get a detention. I also kind of like it because, it helps me keep my grades up, and it also helps me get my work done," freshman Noelle McConnell said. One thing that hasn't changed, but students didn 't like was only having five minutes to get to each class. Although this rule probably won't change, many student Mrs. O' Brien and the other principles are late to classes everyday, because of did their part to make sure that 110 food the location of their previous classes. or drink left the cafateria . Photo by Once a student has been Late to a class Sarah Fredrickson. three times, they received detentions, and after seven, a referral to the office. Many students also thought that if there were 23 more minutes for passing periods, nobody would be late anymore. "Just having a few more minutes to get to each class wou ld help me out a lot, because I know I would be able to go to my locker, get the stuff I need, and get to class without being late," senior Cory Crum said. Are the rules really too strict?

It requires more than just going to dances. School pride is about whether or not students, and faculty, are proud to say they attend or work at their school. School pride has been a major problem , perceived or real at school for a number of years . Many students just do not seem to have a strong sense of connection to the school. When students Jack school pride it also brings school spirit down. Many students didn't support the school in ways that people expected or wanted. Could there be ways to improve our school pricfe? "There is always a lot of school pride when the sports at our school are good, because they will get all the fans to come and watch ," junior Dylan Hope said. Sports were not the only thing to improve school pride. The students and faculty had a huge part in it too. "If we see that our teachers and fellow peers care abo ut things going on through out the school then we would know that we have some pride," freshman Mary Smelser said. Many students had the school's logo on shirts, pants, hoodies , shorts and other kinds of clothing. "I have so many clothes with the school logo on it, just because I go to this school and I have pride in our school ," freshman Kayla Jones said. Being proud of the school students attend helps solve a number of problems. If students have pride they are less likely leave trash lying around the hallways, and are more likely to participate in all school activities. They are less li kely to speak negati vely of school, and more likely to defend the school when others attack it. Students must feel that connection to the place and the people for school pride to get better. 22 - ~·ry ~y ~yhe v.-111"'~ Wearing T.J shirts was a good way 10 show school pride.

But it don ' t matter how anyone looked at it, it was still prom. Prom was exciting according to many students . "Prom was what I thought it would be and it was better than last year," senior William Coziahr said. Coziahr won king and was very surprised. "I thought it was going to be someone else," he said. The queen was also surprised about winning. " Of all people, I got it, that's just weird ," senior Brittany Hiers said. Not only does prom have a king and queen , it also had a prince and princess, who were Jerry Adrian and Rachelle Christina. "It was kind of funny they got it because they are dating," junior Taylor Wade said. Some thought the decorations were nice. "I really didn 't pay much attention to them , but I'm sure they were nice," sophomore Colt Bintz said. Then there were others who thought differently. "It was really plain, it was just balloon s," sophomore Jamie Swotek said. Although the dance turned out great, the weather was not so good.

Some weren' t affected by the weather. They didn 't want it to ruin their night, so the didn 't let it. "Me getting wet didn ' t affect me wen I was hav ing fun ," junior Dylan Hope said. Generall y juniors and seniors are only allowed to go to the dance, but some few lucky fres hmen and sophomores got to attend also. "I fe lt kind of weird because I have never done anything li ke that," freshman Erica Christensen said .

It "'"S " prettY Lr"eY "',~t -Ver"ll: 25 The hypnotist and NFL Challenge were the main events at post prom. Unfortunately, many students were not able to participate due to bad weather as a power- ful thunderstorm dumping buckets of rain passed through the area. Those who made it had mixed emotions about post prom. Starting at 12:30 and ending at 4:30 students engaged in the hypnotist show, dance dance revolution , karaoke, fear factor, and many won prizes through the raffle. At 1:30 the hypnotist arrived and students raced to get hypnotized. Those who weren't fast enough sat in the stands and laughed at their friends. Senior Jared Meyer said, " My junior year worked, but this it didn 't. I faked it the whole time. " This was the question of the night. Did it work? Or not? Whether students faked it or not the audience still enjoyed watching. "It was entertaining," senior Charis Oswald said, "to see all my friends do stupid things ." The NFL Challenge was the other main attraction. Students had to crawl, jump, and dive through an inflatable obstacle course, hoping to beat their opponent. "The football inflatable was the best thing there," junior David Clark said, "it was fun to race al my friends. " Meyer enjoyed the inflatable so much he said the school should " get more for next year." If you won the raffle you could get a variety of things. Water bottles, gift certificates, toys, etc. "I onl y did the raffle because nothing else interested me but I won 20 bucks to the buckle," Clark sa id . Post prom had a good turn out consideri ng the weather difficulties and most students had a good time. "It wa f th I h h · s more un an t oug t Jt would be," Oswald said , "I had a good time since it was my last post prom." 26 - ~·ry ~y Jess''~ f l•wer_s Dean Lantz Grade: 12 "1i.e l.Yf"'t'st i111 w.ts . . .

Many seniors had different opinions on how Senior Honor Day was held . A big change this year was that the assembly was held at night instead of during the day. "I liked having it at night because it gave the parents a chance to watch, but the students didn ' t get a chance to watch the assembly," senior Zach Huit said. Some students didn ' t like having it at night though. "I don ' t think it is fair that we had to sit through the assembly for three years and then our senior year, nobody else had to sit through the assembly," senjor Matt Renshaw said. Another change the assembly had was that it was in the auditorium instead of the gym. "I liked being in the auditorium better than the gym because it was more comfortable in the auditorium," Renshaw said. Many students liked different parts of the assembly better than other parts. "My favorite part of the assembly was being able to see everybody's accomplishments," senior Kiersten Ruff said. Many students just liked the fact that they were being honored. "It's pretty cool to hear people talk about how awesome you are," senior Chri s Riley sa id. There were also many different awa rds handed out. "I received a baseball award , a criminal justice award, and a Lutheran award ," Renshaw sa id. There were many changes, and most of them were for the better. Many seniors re. .

The graduation ceremony was held at the Mid-America Center on May 20. It has been held there for the last three consecutive years. "I think it 's nice that the MAC accommodates so many family members and there is a lot of parking," history teacher Amy Erwin said. 206 seniors walked across the stage at the graduation ceremony. The Class President was Amanda Rounds , who was also the Salutatorian . co-valedictorians were Kiersten Ruff and Colby Rueschenberg, class secretary was Gina Wilson and the class sponsor was Mrs. Nancy Hale. During the ceremony, they had multiple speakers including: Rounds , Wilson , Ruff, and Moderator Zach Huitt. "I just wrote how I felt," Wilson said, "I didn't really have to practice it a lot either, because it 's just what I needed to say." As the seniors walked across the stage to receive their diplomas, many emotions were running through them . "I was feeling nervou s and scared because when I recei ved my diploma, I knew that it meant it was time for me to grow up and move on," Zack Pope said , "I also felt very excited because I was done and I finished - ~·ry ~y S-r"~ -l/-o111e1s•" Senior Gina Wilson gives her speech to the graduating 2007 class.

"The best way to prevent an injury is to make sure you stretch good and eat right," junior James Pattman said. "I have been injured four times this season by having two concussions, a right ankle sprain and a lower back strain." Injuries can be a serious matter, because they can keep athletes from doing what they love most. Athletic trainer Scott Perry said, " Kids are in my office getting taped and telling me their problems every day. " Without the trainer, athletes wouldn ' t know what to do. He is at school an hour early before every practice, and doesn't usually leave until practice is over. "The best way to go see Scott and he will tell you to ice it and give you a brace or something and tell you to take it easy," sophomore Kristen Block said. Block was out of volleyball for a couple of weeks but then was back to playing thanks to the trainer. Without a school athletic trainer, many athletes would be more likely to get a more serious injury due to having someAthletic trainer Seo /I Peery made an one who doesn't know what they are doal/empt to come to every single home ing tape them or stretch them. game.

Students can even get them walking down the hall. For instance, sophomore Scott Thayer broke his ankle walking and he was out the entire football season. From pulling hamstrings to having sore muscl es, student athl etes can take care of most of their injuries on their own.

Many students try to find a way to get out and do things while others might not have a chance. When people work out or exercise, it's usually for a sport, but other people work out and exercise just to stay in shape. Most people that still pump iron and don 't play sports do it because they are used to doing it. "I like to run and lift weights to stay in shape," junior Justin Garcia said. Running and lifting are two of the main things that people do to stay in shape when they are not playing a sport. "I usually lift weights at my house," junior Alex Kennett said. Sometimes students can't find a place to work out so lifting at school could be a big thing. Other things kids do to stay in shape are riding bikes or walking dogs. "I try to walk my dogs every night and in the mornings I will go for a bike ride," junior Rachel Nelson said. Sophomore Frankie Vise /Ii works out Sometimes kids play a sport with their his abs by doing crun ches with added friends. weight. Photo by Sarah Fredrickson. "Sometimes I go to the park and play soccer or foo tball ," Kennett said. Staying healthy is a major reason to stay in shape and exercise. "I think it's important to exerci se so you can li ve longer and stay healthier," Garcia sa id. Some people just like to run to keep in shape. "I like to just run and stretch to stay in shape," junior Dustin Burgett sa id. Exercise is something anyone can do, even if they're not in any sports. Exercise is a good and healthy thin g that only does well for the body. Many studen ts used the weight room to try and keep in shape. • The bench press is a popular exercise for students. Students will be able to use the expanded weight room when that part of the construction is completed in the next couple of years.

It is a trend that has continued to grow and more people have become interested in them. "I think tattoos are pretty and meaningful. I love them," senior Samantha Weaver said. There are many different views when it comes to getting tattoos. There are people who think they look trashy and others who think they are works of art. While some will never get one, others cannot wait until they get one. "I personally am afraid of needles ," senior Josh Porter said. There is an age requirement of 18 in order to get a tattoo. Otherwise, one can be 16 with parental consent and bring their birth certificate with them . "It was kind of hard, because I couldn 't find my birth certificate for awhile," sophomore Jenny Griffin said. Getting a tattoo is not the greatest feeling, as known. However, it depends on someone 's pain tolerance. Many believe it is very painful , while others say it didn't bother them at all.

There are symbols, characters, words, names and many other unique tattoos. "I am goin g to get one on my shoulder blade of the Red Sox," senior Cory Green said. Tattoos are seen even more on people th an years before. They are talked about dail y, whether it is a new one someone got or one someone is looking forward to getting.

Stereotyping and cliques are very typical in high school and students do it all the time. The typical groups include the preps, jocks, geeks, gangsters, gothics, etc. They ' re roaming in the halls and are in classes. School is a place of diversity and socializing and cliques can make students feel part of something and can also make them feel isolated. Stereotyping can be a way to describe someone. A clique is a small group of people that hang around each other. Most students are in some type of clique and being in these cliques have its ups and downs. "They can act like someone else in these cliques, but are different outside of the clique", said senior Brittany Turpen. However, cliques can have its positive sides . "It makes you feel part of something and it makes you feel like you belong", said freshman Christine Kang.

Football, basketball, wrestling and baseball are all sports where male athletes probably come to mind. "Guys are more masculine and tough [than girls] so of course they 're going to be better at these sports," freshman Navannah Slezak said. Junior Taylor Wade agrees . "Guys would be too rough with girls if they played together, and most girls don't like that," he said. If guys are believed to be better at certain sports, then can girls be better than guys at certain sports? "Girls are better at the girly sports like dance and cheer, but boys are better at all other sports because they ' re just more athletically fit, " Wade said. Most girls agree to this. Slezak said, "Girls are better at sports like volleyball and ice-skating because their bodies are built better [than guys' bodies] for these sports. " Girls and guys both have their separate qualities, some the same and some different. "Gu ys tend to be cocky and overconfident," junior Erica Whaley said, "while girls are usually more reserved , positive and better at communicating." Senior James Driver, "Guys are better because they are more aggressive than girl s. It seems like girl s don ' t try." Some peopl e may say that boys are the better athletes becau se their sports are more fun to watch. Whaley said , "Guys ' sports are always going to be more exciting to other people because guys are more aggressive and physical. They care more about winning." Competition is a bi g deal when it comes to sports. Sophomore Anna Allmon said , "I don't put myself lower to a guy if I am competing against him . Just becau se he's a guy doesn't mean he 's going to win , it depends on how talented he is." 42 Boys and Girls race each other in P.E. during th e mile to pro ve who really can run fa ster.

Pharo by Sarah Fredrickson 43 Yearbook and newspaper students had the opportunity to travel across the country for a national high school journalism convention. The students traveled to Nashville, Tenn. on Nov. 9-11 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. "It was like outside-inside," sophomore Nina Simon said of the convention center. "It was gynormous, " sophomore Anna Wright said. The Opryland Convention Center and Hotel was the site of the convention hosted by the Journalism Education Association (JEA) and the National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA). The students listened to speakers and attended sessions covering a wide variety of topics dealing with journalism that the students could then use when producing the school newspaper and yearbook . "(I learned) how to approach a customer being open-minded of what they might say," Wright said. Wright was the advertising manager for the yearbook and she also learned many ways to talk to potential advertisers to try and get them to purchase adverti sing space. Sophomores Shelby Mabbill and Kylie But the trip was as much about havVal/in ch take a picture while relaxing ing fun and experiencing a new place as it in th e hotel between sessions . Submnilwas about learning journalism. The group ted photo. went to the Opry Mill s Shopping Center, visited downtown Nashville to have dinner and traveled via taxi. " Some of the taxi drivers were crazy," Simon said , "and it was hard to cram us aJI into the tax i vans." Others liked the commraderie of the trip. "Probabl y just like staying in the townhomes together," sophomore Shelby Mabbitt said. Sarah Hogueison 's favorite part of the tri p was when everyone rode the go-carts and tried to beat M r.

It seems it was only yesterday we were walking into high school unsure of what to expect. What friends we would meet, the classes we would take and the challenges we would face. We've made so many moves on the game board of life. From surv1vmg Autographs classes, construction, pep assemblies, dress codes, practices and even now new administration . Then, to making new friends, letting old friendships die, finding out who each of us are, and learning lessons that have shaped us into who we are now. We will never forget our early senior skip day or senior girls teaming with the sophomore girls to wm the powderpuff game. The basketball team going to substate, the football players dancing with the dance team and many other things that stick out in our minds Now as we pick up the next card on the deck, we know this is a start to a whole new journey for us. This time more prepared than the last and with many more memories to follow us as we advance to go and collect our diplomas.

" WOOHOO freedom at last," said freshman Cassie Colbert. It 's a scary thing to come into high school , but a learning experience for others. It 's uni ike e lementary and junior high. Eve rything on the first day of schoo l, counts; clothing, looks, grade , and statu s. It all matters, because first impress ions co unt too. The first day of hi gh school , what freshman isn 't scared? "I was a littl e nervous", sa id freshman Kelsey Byers, " and also exc ited because I got to be with my older friends". Friends are a lso another factor in the many different perspectives of hi gh school. Some stay with their friends throughout their high school years, and some lose them as they go. Freshman are the first to try everything. They were excited to come out of junior high, and try a new and different enviornment, and who isn ' t? Are there first impressions still thought of now? High school can be portrayed in different ways, and can make thoughts seem a little too exaggerated. "I thought of high sc hoo l as I think of it now," sa id fres hman Kassy Underwood , " you have to work as hard, and it's a lot of stress." What's there to be worried about? It 's on ly high school. And there 's on ly 4 years of high school, so why not make the best out of it? When com ing into high school, there are alot of scary things that are thought. Sometimes you get lost in the hall ways , and stu- dents are too afraid to ask where to go because many think that they 'll get a sarcastic an swer, or get the wrong direction, But a.lot of uppercl assmen a.re willing to help out others. Most freshman are late to their classes on the first week of school. In a big school like this, students can ' t always find their way that eas ily. In in a week or two though , students memorize where their classes a.re, and where to go. First impressions of high school can be decieving, but they can always tum around and make it seem better than expected. There are many different opin ions, and different viewpoints from students . All together it will always be remembered. 67 Michaela Cocco Cassandra Colbert Caleb Coley Samantha Connelly Michaela Cook Michael Cooper Amanda Cox Doyle Croson Zachery Cudd Courtney Cumberledge Krista Cummings Michelle Davids Kevin Davis Rebecca Deal Blaine Demare Brett Derrig Alexis Desantiago Brandon Dewolf Taylor Diamond Rebekah Domayer Michael Donnelly David Dose Cedrick Drabek Nicholas Duncan Samantha Emerine Karla Espinoza Raymond Falanga Tyler Fielder Kay la Fink Ronnie Fisher Tera Ford Cerissa Forrista!J Zackary Foster Brandan Fowler Janae Fox Samantha Fri es John Fuentes John FulJer Jordan Gall Adrian Garc ia Patricia Garcia Valerie Garrean Cody Gascoigne Clayton Gau lt Aaron George Mara George Breanna Gillispie-Wichman Robert Golden Jesus Gonzalez Brandon Goraczkowski Dezarai Gordon Makayla Graef Ol ivia Graves Echo Gray Tasha Green Haili Gri ffeth Rachel Gri ffi s Heidi Gutha Paul Guth a Matthew Gwenn ap Jake Hadan Emi ly Hall Samanth a Hann a Kylee Hansen 68 Junior Eric Brewer loses all of his papers and lries 10 ga1her 1hem up before lhe wind carries 1hem away, which infronl of s/L/denls can be an embarrassing momelll wi1h friends laughing on lhe side lines.

Pharo by Sarah Fredrickson. 1aughter isthe cure Have you ever done something and then afterw ards felt so stupid or embarrassed that you didn 't know what to do next? If so, then don 't woJTy about it, because you' re not the only person that has ever fe lt that way. At least one person everyday does something that embarasses them to a point where they dont want to show their faces in public any more. Everyo ne has had an embaJTass ing moment that they hope everyone will forget sooner or later. They al so hope no one will ta lk about it or bring the subject of "embarrass ment" up ever again. When it does get brought up , it 's like reliving the embaJTassment all over again . Bri ngin g the whole moment back up ca n so metimes not just be embarrased but ca n make everyone laugh that was there and saw what happened. Thinking about it mkaes yourself laugh harder and then it becomes less embaJTassing. "One day, when I was going downstairs to the cafeteri a for lunch like I usually do, I tripped on something and fell the rest of the way down ," sophomore Kelly Monahan said. "Not very many people laughed at me, but I still fe lt really embarrassed, and the fall kind of hurt. " Even though the embarrassment can ' t be taken away by fo rgetting abo ut it fo r a while or just not thinking about it, there is one way to make it a little less embarrassing than it really was. That way is to just laugh about it with everyone else that is laughing at you. "I went to a rodeo with my fami ly and when we were walking around I wasn 't paying attention to where I was walking, because I was too busy watching this guy I had a crush - ~·ry ~y J•rJM 1'\er1Lfe on, and I slipped and fell right in fro nt of him ," junior Yolanda Negrete said. "The only people that were really laughing was me and my mom. She was laughing at me because she knew exactly what I was doing when I fell." Your family are the ones that are usually there when someth ing bad happens. They never seem to of let you forget what you did . They always would bring it back up when a friend came over to hango ut. People get emban-assed all the time whether it's because they fell in front of a guy they like, or just mixed up their word and said something wrong. Getting embarrassed really is something that can be cured with a little bit of laughter. 69 Jennie Harris Ashley Hathaway Brandie Hathaway Kyle Hathaway Stephen Havenridge Matthew Haynie Abigail Heaverlo Alexandrea Hedrick John Hernrnerich Timothy Hempel Hayley Hendrickson Ciera Henke Austin Hennings Chelsea Hensley Eduardo Hernandez Eleazar Hernandez Amanda Hiatt Kaitlyn Hoden Joshua Hodges Sausha Hogg Brittiany Holland Ashley Holste Abbie Hotz Patrick Hover Juleene Howard Joseph Hunt Shane Hunt Savannah Hunter Stephanie lwersen Jay Jahn Melissa Jansa Joseph Jansen Di.llan Jefferi Cody Jen sen Cody Johnson Devante John son Haley Johnson Shabriski Johnson Sornia John son Candice Jones Kri sten Jos lin Patrick Ka lar Kendra Kane Christine Kang Meli ssa Kellar Steven Kilmer Alysha King Andrew Klement Andrew Kousgaard David Kousgaard Kendra Kuhl Anthony Lachappe ll Brandon Lafferty Tanner Lamer Lacie Lari son Lynsie Lari so n Craig Larsen Kim Lawton Roman Lemr Rene Lemu s Bethany Leos Tasha Lewis Dac ia Leytham Alyssa Liddick 70 Dwight and Jan e Oswald escort their daughter Charis during senior night for th e girls soccer team.

PamilHvs. Priends l s fa mil y rea lly that imortant? Do stutdents spend more time with their family or frie nd s during the ir four years of high school? "There are 10 people in my family and we spend a lot of time together, we go to the movies all the time, or to the mall. If we decide not to go out, then we just sit at home and watch movi es together. I really liked spending time with my family, but sometimes it see ms like too much," sophomore To mmie Neighbors sa id. During the teenage years, it seems like teenagers try to spend as little time as possible with the ir fa milies, but many teens actuall y want to spend more time with fri ends and fam il y both. " I know sometimes I don 't act like I want want to spend time with my fa mi ly, but I really do enjoy the time that I do get to spend with them, but sometimes I wish I could spend more time with my fri ends,"freshman Skylar Nightser sa id. Students love spending time with their families, but still like to have time to spend either with their friends, with a boyfriend or girlfriend, or even alone. "I love spending time with my famly, but I also like hang ing out with my friends after school and on weekends," freshman Duane Richardson said. Teenagers say they really do spend a lot of time with their fa milies. " I do spend a lot of time with my fa mil y and I rea lly do enj oy the time that I do get to spend with them. If I didn 't have them, I would be mi ssing some of the peopl e that are most important to me," junior Becky Manti! said. Many teenagers often feel like they should spend more time with their fa mil y. "I like spending time with my fa mil y. We spend a lot of time together. I do wish we cou Id spend - ~·rf ~y J•r.4M 1'\er1Lle more time together without everyone being so hectic about time though because l know that in a few years, when I'm in college, 1 wont be able to see them as much as I do now," junior Robby Coberly said. However, Coberly isn 't the only person that fee ls this way. Many teens often feel like they want to spend more time with their fa mily but don 't express the way they feel towards others. "I love spending time with my fam ily, they just don ' t li ke to leave the house very often and I don't like being home," sophomore Kristen Block said. "] do come home just so I can spend time with them though." Family is one of the most important things to a teenager. A fam ily will always be there, even when no one el e will. A family is like a support group for those who need it most. 71 Sammantha Lloyd Thomas Lombana athanael Long Zachary Long David Loparco Guadalupe Lopez Kelena Lyon Craig Mabbitt Hanna Madsen David Mahan Mitchell Mahan Randall Maresch Alejandra Martinez Adam Mass Phillip Matzen Noelle McConnell Brittany McCord Sarah McCormick Rachel McGuire Amber McKeeman Timothy McNeal Lindsey McQu inn Andrew Mercer Whitney Merchen Ash ley Mil ls Chanh Mi lner Karnela Moffitt Seth Moffitt Lui s Montelongo Andrew Moore Kristopher Moore Mark Moore Estephania Morales Dillon Morris Daniel Moscato Angela Mount Bernave Naverrete Antonio Negrete Makayla Ne lson Kara Neuman n Alexandra New land Ash ley Ney Skylar Nightser Mandi orth Lorraine Oberg Kri sten Ohara Shelby Ohara Ttmothy Ollie Misty Ottesen Justin Parker Sara Parrack Saman th a Patent Michael Pauling Jamie Pearson Anthon y Pech Rachel Peck Steven Peck Walter Perez Daniel Pester Rose mary Petty Franc isco Pierce Joshua Pietrzak Kaele Ptke Meli ssa Pike 72 Senior Jessica Gessin i gives a presentation in one of Mrs. Kueny's HES classes. Photo by Sarah · Fredrickson. ranue DPc1assesDf!Pered Many different classes were offered to students, ranging from classes for those who were stru gg lin g just to get by with passing grades, to those students who wanted to try and push themse lves as hard as they could and prepare for college. Whether a student fell into either one of these categories, there were more than enough opportunities to be successful. What is the rea l difference between the classes that were considered hard , and ones that were considered easier. Was it the materia l be ing covered, the amount of work that had to be completed or the style of the teacher presenting the materi al? In some cases it may have been all three. Many of the honors classes required students to complete more work and the teachers he ld that work to a hi gher standard. Students who took Mrs. Hani gan 's senior English class were required , for much of the year, to complete one paper per week. Thi s was a shock to some students who had not been required to do so much work in many classes before. Other cl asses like AP Physics, HES Human Biology and HES Calculus, among others, had material that was difficult to understand, and took a lot of time to complete. For instance, some individu al problems in the advanced math classes took longer to compl ete than entire assignments in other classes . The AP and HES classes also gave students who wanted to push themse lves the opportunity to earn co llege credit for the class, but they were often held to a higher standard to earn that co ll ege credit. Once students passed those classes they could transfer that credit to their co llege (most accepted the credit) and it was one less class the student would have to complete in college. For many of the advanced cla se the teachers would require that the students present themselves and their work as a college student would. They were required to complete presentations , and write research papers and be res ponsible for their own work. Teachers like Mrs. Kueny, Mr. Hudek and Mr. Hale, and many others, taught their c lasses like college c lasses to try and prepare as many students as they could fo r what co ll ege would be like. With a seven period day next year. and a more stringent, rigorous cmTiculum, teachers and admini strators are hoping more students will decide to push themselves academically, and to strive for inclusion in those " harder'' clas es. 73 Jennifer Pineda-Castillo Brianna Pogge Deric Poldberg Elizabeth Powell Zachary Poyser Christopher Pritchett Courtney Pritchett Russell Prosolow Ju stin Raes Crystal Ramos Joshua Ramspott Daniel Randall Cole Rasmussencarl son Jackson Redden Angel Reed Joseph Rees Jose-Vidal Reicks Danielle Renshaw Timmy Rice Duane Richardson Kendra Robinson Seth Robinson Juanita Rodarte Kristina Rodarte Corazon Rodri guez Jasmine Rodriguez Joshua Rodriguez Ryan Rodriquez Tyler Roj as Joselyn Roldan Jessica Roller Saraya Roll ins Dylan Rooney Courtney Ru ff Joseph Sackett Jewel Sanford Jordan Sanford Holli e Sawyer Gary Schul tz Ethan Sch upp Michael Seganakis Paige Sheard Jac lyn Sieh Nicholas Sieh A llison Silli k Ariel Sinclair Jamie Si ndelar Preston Si ngleton Justin Skipton Nava nn ah Slezak Mary Smelser Britta ny Smi th Jesse Sm ith Kyle S mith Ryan Smith Heath er Sobbi ng Ca itlin Soll ars Emily Sondag Juan Soria Lucia Sori a Jaysen Spooner Haley Sprinkel Brandie Stickney Cody Stites 74 Senior A riana Barksdale hangs ol// in the New Fieldhouse with a friend.

Hi gh schoo l is full of little surprises, includin g the ga in and loss of fri ends, or sometim es just keeping old ones. "Most of my close fri ends I have been friends with since junior high, but I have defin ite ly become fri ends with many other peopl e. I think be ing in activites like band and tenni s helped me step out of my comfort zone," sophom ore Jackie Martin sa id. J unio r Al ex Kennett sa id th at hi s group of friend s has not changed mu ch through hi gh schoo l. " f have had the same group of fri ends throu gh hi gh schoo l, but the group is made up of di ffe rent kinds of people," Kennett said . Students sa id th at they met a lot of their frie nds th ro ugh acti viti es and athl etics. " Some of my fri end s at the beginning of high schoo l had other interests than me, so I migrated away fro m them. Once I got involved in new activities that I enjoyed, I made new fri ends that have the same interests as me," senior Kiersten Ruff said. Throughout high school, people can change fo r the better, and sometimes fo r worse, which effects friendships. "I think people change fo r the better because when they enter hi gh schoo l they're just kids. As years go on, they mature and deve lop so that when they graduate they ' re adults," senior Kri ssy Wickw ire said. Seni or G in a Wil son agrees that change effects students throughout high school. "Tons of people change. That's what time and stress fro m hi gh schoo l does," Wilson sa id. Wilson also ta lks about her fr iends and how things have changed between them. "I still talk to a few of the people I was frie nds with in junior high. We tend to argue a lot now or go through pe1iods where we don 't even talk," Wilson sai d. While some people are drawn to the wrong crowd, others are picking friends that make them a bigger and better person, and in the long run make them happier. "Some of my friends have changed fo r better because they are growing up and taking responsibili ty, but others have changed for worse," R uff sa id. Kennett agrees that diffe rent people change in diffe rent ways. "I think that people change diffe rently accord ing to certain events that happen in life," Kennett said . Friends come and go, but the importan t thi ng is to fi nd the ones that are true, and those are the ones that last fo rever. 75 Brian Stopak Pai ge Struck Wesley Stuart Kevin Stuck Jake Sulley Gabriel Sutton Morey Swanger Jeremy Swanson Heather Sweeney Troy Tarin Gabriel Tay lor Terrence Taylor Trevin Taylor William Teager Nicholas Thomas Seth Thompson Sebastian Tierney Ana Torres Aurora Torres Jamie Townsend Jane Tran Ash ley Trawicki Mo lly Tucker Kassy Underwood Matilde Vargas Ashley Vashon Danielle Vaughn Maria Vieyra Brittney Vincent Riki Vincent Joel Volentine Brooke Wade Shelby Walker Jonathan Weaver Sa rah Weaver Catherine Wellman Dani ella West Michael West Arial White Cory Wilcox Harley Willett Du ane Wil so n Malcom Wo lfe Michae l Wolfe Leah Wright Natasha Wright Rebecca Wright Brandon Wyman Kasa ndra Yo pp T imo thy Youn g Tyler Yo ungb lood 76 Re/a1ionships somelimes come a big gossip Jes!.

" Dating in hi gh schoo l is very important, " biology teacher Bud Meade said. "It prepares teens for the rea l relationships that will happen later in life." Walking through the halls, everyone sees the co uples th at often show public displ ays of affection. A lot of people don 't rea ll y think anything about it; others really don 't want to see it. "I think th at there's a time and a pl ace fo r kiss ing. At schoo l, a pec k on the lips is fi ne, but if there 's any more than that I thin k they need to get a room! " sophomore Mandi Quillen said. A large amount of teenagers think that if they are in a relationship and it lasts all the way through high schoo l, then it might last a long time after hi gh schoo l. However, it doesn 't usuall y happen that way. Most couples that date du ring high schoo l break up soon after. Its just a littl e thing ca lled puppy love. People around dont rea lly th in k that couples will be together fo r a long time. "My girlfriend and I have been together for about three weeks , and I think our re lationship will last fo r a whil e. I don 't know about all the way through high school, but it could ," sophomore Gage Rice said. If parents knew what kinds of thjngs their kids were di splay ing in school and in other public pl aces, they probably wouldn 't be very happy. "I don't think parents woul d approve of thei r kids kissing and maki ng out in the hall ways," Meade said. "It's just rea lly immature and shouldn 't be seen in publi c." However, seeing peop le kiss ing in the hall ways onl y bothers some people. Others don 't rea ll y ca re if they see it or not. " It doesn 't really bother me to see peop le - ~·ry ~y J•rJM 1t\er1Lfe kissing in the hallways," junior Tyler Ives said. "I guess it j ust doesn 't bug me, beca use when I have a girlfriend I sometimesdo it too ." Seeing things like kissing and holding hands in the halls is something everyone sees everyday. Many people say it's just a way to show affection or how much someone loves or cares about someone else. Knowi ng when and where is a key thing in a relationship. Being around little kids would not be the right time to start making out with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Depending on who is around and where someone is that is how someone decides if it is the right time to start kissing or instead just giving a hug. 77 Gary Adams Derek Adkins Bradley Aldredge Anna Allmon Miki Alt Felicia Anderson Irene Arnold Ethan Arrick Alison Arthur Tiana Avalos Cameron Avey Kev in Bailey Nichole Balmer Shelby Barratt Molly Battiato Benjamin Bell Andrea Bentzinger Nicole Bequette Kody Bernacchi Gl en Billesbach Colt Bintz Will iam Bittenbender Joseph Blackford Gary Blakeman Kri sten Block Kevi n Blue Kyle Blue Melissa Brandon Madison Brandt Craig Brannan Chri stopher Brannen Ricky Breeden Nichola Brewer Daniel Britson Alyssa Brock Bryan Brown Jesse Brown Jessica Brown Symone Brown Tamara Brown Brederick Bryant Stephan ie Bryen Steven Bryen Olivia Burse Nicho las Burton James Carlson Cory Cashatt James Cava ll aro Jud y Chri stensen Brady Churchill Jere my Clark Trav is C leaver Zachery Clem mons McKayla Cloyd- Hi rz Kri sten Cocco Jess ica Co lli er Kevin Colli er Sarah Cook Ty ler Cooksey Kristin Corder Michael Cou lston Britney Cronk Jarrod Danahy Han na Darlin g 78 Junior Lukas Schroeder works on an assignment in his Life Skills class .

T hey are the foreign exchange students. In particular, there are five foreign exchange students that attended school this year. They 're from Germany, Russia, Taiwan, Lebanon, and Japan. All of them are from different parts of the world having come to study here. The students have different first impress ions. "My first impression was that T.J. is bigger, that it has more students," said junior Lukas Schoroeder from Germany. " I thought I would get lost because every teacher said I would for sure". The foreign exchange student program takes peopl e from different countries and gives them an opportunity to learn in a new environment. "I was very excited, I couldn 't wait to go to America! " said junior Hsian-Hui Yu , also known as Tina from Taiwan. Coming to America is a big thing for foreign exchange students, especially if they live in a country that goes by other standards. Some schools wear unifonns, di scipline harder, and have hi gher grade point averages. All foreign exchange students have a host. A host is the provider of the particular student. Usually the student only stay for a short period of time, but it isn ' t a free game. The exchange student must have a vi sa card and a green card in order to become part of the program. However, the cost is up to 9 ,000-11,000, depending on the airfare and the region they are from. Adjusting to time and adapting to new habits is hard, but in time it becomes a daily routine. Aside from that, it 's a great way for a student to learn a new foreign culture. " The A merican style, American food , and the school are some of the best experiences I've had ," said junior Karina Hamao from Japan. Not only is it a great way to experience the American style, and American food , but meeting new and different friends. Getting to know them , and how things are different there than here. When it is time for the foreign exchange students to go back home, they wi ll have something to remember their visit by, a story to te ll to all their friends about how other cultures lifesty les are , and how it 's different from what they have . 79 Ryn Daub Jordan Davis Timothy Davis Justina Delong Tomas Desantiago Marcie Dietsch Jacob Donaldson Jade Donovan Justin Dreager Jason Driver Mikayla Dubois Dylan Dunkelberger Shalynn Durham Mikel Eidem Rachel Emert Jared Feller Emily Fisher Jessica Flowers Danielle Flynn Christina Foote Christian Foster Natashia Frizzell Jerad Gappa Randi Gault Breana George Andrew Gillespie Matthew Golden Nathan Goldsberry Alejandro Gomez Ashley Graham Brent Green Scott Green Jennie Griffin Anna Groat Benjamin Gubbels Todd G uiser Ada Guli zia Shawna, Gusman Heather Haas Heather Hadden Jamie Hall Danielle Hamby Joseph Hampton Seth Hanson Kri stin a Hauger Skye Hauger Paul Hayden Mark Heidenreich Jaime Hein lsaac Heiss Jeffrey Hempel Kailey Hempel Vanessa Heredi a Nathan Heywood Lindsey Hi cks Sa rah Hogueison Raymo nd Holder Brittany Imrie Donovo n lsaacson Michael Ives Casey Jackso n Pattrick Jennin gs Stephani e Je nsen Brandon Jerrett 80 Ma ny students would have to make up P.E. detentions out on the track.

Truing toavoid trouble Are detenti ons avo idable or is there no way aro und them? Many students got stuck in detention ni ght after night , mostly because of the new detention policy. Students got stuck after class sometimes because they showed up to class a few second s late. " I onl y got detentions because it was hard to make it to all my classes on time," j uni or Andrew LaCombe sa id. The new poli cy meant that everybody had to tu rn their assignments in on time and that they can' t be tardy more than three times . It also meant that no one can be truant fro m c lass or they wo uld also get a detentio n. The new detenti on policy made many kids mad beca use they couldn 't always get their homework done. "I don 't li ke the new detenti on policy because some of my teachers give a lot of homework , and it 's hard to keep with all the work that they assign us," junior Zach Mendoza said. Athletes tried to make sure that they didn 't get a detention so they don 't get in trouble with their coaches. " If I do get a detention I try to serve them in the morning so my coaches don 't get mad at me," LaCombe said. Many students were abl e to avoid detentions by turning their work in on tim e and show ing up to all their classes on time. "I don ' t get detentions because I do all my home work and make sure that I' m never late to class ," junior Lucy Christensen said. Most students that can't keep fro m getting a detention get mad because if it weren't for the new poli cy they wouldn't get a detention. "I don 't like the new policy because I get a lot of home work in differen t classes, and some nights I don 't have time to finish every assignment," Mendoza said. Another new rule for the year stated that if a student was truant to a cl ass, the teacher would assign the student a detenti on to make up the time they missed in class. Meaning, students who decided to skip class would actuall y be earn ing themselves even more ti me at school. This lead many students to avo id skipping classes. "I have never gotten a detention for skipping class," La.Combe said. Detentions are something a lot of students had to do and sometimes there was just no way to get around a detention. Students don 't like them and some students never got them . 81 Arny Johnson Kriss John son Kyle John son Ryan Johnson Amber Jones Gary Jones Joshua Jones Aaron Jordan Jordan Joyner Justin Juhl Nathan Kammrad Heidi Kang Janelle Kannedy Christopher Keefer Rachel Kennett Megan K ing Sarah Kn app Ashl ey Kruse Rachel Ku enning Amanda Ku rtz Jessica Lambirth Austin Landers Kleo Lee Shawn Lee Kory Leiss Jess ica Lewis Jeffrey Li vengood Dav id Lun sford Shelby Mabbitt James Mace Jess ica Madsen Cory Maher Mary Mandery Mike Mard i Ti mothy Marr M itchell Marriott Skyler Marshall Jaclyn Martin Brett May Amanda McClure Sarah McEw in Peter McNea l Kevin Mendici no Luciana Mendoza Wesley Menges Jordan Mericle Ryan M ickey Jesse Mill er Sama ntha M ille r Kell y Monahan Sarah Moore Steven Morga!

Photo by Rachel Kuenning. What it takes The word friend didn ' t necessarily mean hav ing relationships with someone of the same age, teachers were sometimes known as fr iends also. Almost every student had that one teacher that they could talk to and get along with. Who didn ' t have a favorite teacher? Whether it was the basketball coach or the Engli sh teacher, students deserved teachers that they could tru st to he lp them through school. Students who think teachers are out to get them, end up not doing well in school. " I like all of my teachers, incl uding the ones th at I don 't get along with because I know they care about me," sophomore Kri sten Block sa id. Freshmen went th rough a big change comi ng fro m junior high to high school. Havi ng that one favo rite teacher in junior high, then coming up to high school, they had to get attached to different teachers. Freshman Navahnanna Slezak said, "Miss Bellamy was my fav orite teacher at Wilson, now it's Mrs. Hannigan, but they both made learning a possibility." What makes a teacher a favo rite? Is it donating money to a sports fundraiser, laughing at jokes, or just plain soc iali zation? Any of these could make a favo rite teacher. "I li ke when teachers sociali ze, it makes me fee l safe. I could talk to them about almost anythjng," sophomore Jacq ui Slater said. Students talked to teachers about grades, homework and fa mily problems. Students would see their teachers outside of schoo l, at pl aces like Walmart or Hy-Vee, and while some students get shy and look away, many would stop and say hi. - ~·ry ~y ""'",e'" w~"'ey "When I see my favorite teacher outside of school I always say hi because I know they're going to bring it up at school if I don 't," said Luke Hiatt. Many teachers had the same thoughts about seeing students outside of school. "I knew every time I would go to the Star Cinema that I would see a lot of students," journalism teacher Devin Schoening said. "I would have a bet with my wife on the nu mber of students I would see." The relationship between teachers and students grows every year, and many teachers are then invited to graduation parties when senior year rolls around. Trust and respect is something students should have for teachers, even if teachers are hard on students at times. Teachers were there fo r students in many ways and deserve students' respect. 83 Kenneth Peirce Tabitha Pelletier Ashley Pendgraft Dustin Perkins Caleb Petersen Felica Powell Zabrina Poyser Rena Price Tracy Pruett Mandi Quillen Gerardo Ramos Julia Ramos Ruach Reat Samantha Reichart Taylor Reikofski Tyler Renshaw Gage Rice Lindsey Rice Joseph Richards Ashleigh Richardson Jacob Richardson Steven Ritenour Kiley Roberts Alanzo Rodriquez Dalia Roque Cory Ruckman Cody Savage Jessica Sawyer Cody Schandelmier Ash lie Schatzle Damian Schneider Michael Schoen in g Nathan Schoening Rodney Schu ltz Brittany Scott Joshu a Selby Troy Sellers Nathan Shew Trevor Shoemaker Ni na Simon Jacq ueline Slater Samantha Slobodnik Charles Smith Stephan ie Smith Matthew Snethe n Misty Snipes Chri stopher Sond ag Megan So ndag Makala Sorenson Michelle Sparr Dustyn Starmer Kasandra Stinson Justin Stotts Melissa Struck Shaw n Struck Joshua Strutton Danielle Stuck Corey Sturm John Su lli van Tarah Sulli van Matthew Swanson Marc Sweeney Jami e Swotek Ta nja Tackett 84 Many students tried to get their work don e during class so they would not ha ve to do it after school.

Turnin UPtheheat The beginning of the school year saw the beginning of another new policy aimed at helping students achieve at a higher level, and to try and make sure students were getting their homework done. The new policy stated that students must have all assignments completed, or they would be given an opportunity - also known as a detention - to make up the mi ss ing work. Students were to be given two "opportunities" to complete the mis sing work after school with the teacher. The policy was also meant to give students who may be stru ggling with a subject the chance to sit down with the teacher and get the help they needed to pass the class and be successful. Students saw thi s policy as just another way to get detentions and few of them took advantage of the opportunity to make up work to make up the work. they may have been mi ssing.

There were three different P.E. classes that students could pick from . They include but were not limited to; weights for the athletes, high and low impact classes for the students who don 't participate in sports, and we llness, for the students who choose not to participate in the activities class. The new class helps students get into healthy habits. "It 's a good concept," P.E. teacher Ni cole Vetter said. The wellness activities can also greatly affect the child obesity rates if used properl y. "I like P.E. better than at Wilson because yo u can pick and choose what class you are in," freshmen Courtney Ruff said. Although all students may not like P.E. They can at least pick the class that they might like a little better. "If the student really appli es hi s or her self the athlete can benefit from weights," Vetter said. From weights to wellness there are a lot of activities to pick from. But students must still always pass the mile. "Running the mile is probably my least favorite thing to do beca use I really don 't like running the mile," sophomore Rac hel Wittwer sa id. Although P.E. is still a drag to many of the kids, more are beginning to li ke it a lot more because they are able to participate in the activities that they like . "Being in the class you like makes yo u want to be more active in that class ," sophomore Britney Cronk said. - ~·ry ~y Tyler C...ksey Along with the djfferent options, the P.E. classes still engage in some of the fun games, like dodgeball, wh iffl e ball, kick soccer and more. Just as students may have been getting used to the new classes for P.E. , there will be even more changes next year. The biggest of which will be taking P.E. everyday for an entire semester, as opposed to having it every other day. Thjs would enable the student to only have to do a semester of P.E. and to find an elective to rep lace it. P.E. is a necessary class for many students, especially those who are not invo lved in sports, and th at do not exercise outside of school. With more cla s options, and every day P.E. , things are certain to get physica l next year. 87 Jessica Adams-Guttau Jerry Adrian Courtney Aldrich Taesha Alfredson Tiffany Allen Heaven Allgire Dirk Arneson Brianne Arnold Emily Arrick Andrew Arthur Kimberly Axtell Kristina Banderas Virginia Barnett Ethan Bartels Jamie Basch Bret Bazer Brittany Beckner Jason Belt Kody Belt Crystal Bennett Katherine Berg Melissa Bertelsen Nikko Biggart Dustin Biggerstaff Izabel Bilello Brittan y Binau Samantha Binau Joshua Birchard-Archer Jaime Boarts Briana Boner Derek Bose Molly Bose Andrew Boutin Trac i Bou vier Benjamin Bramblett Joseph Brammer Bob Branch Eri ca Branson Lacey Bray Kay lee Brinson Bradley Brown Bryan Brown Derek Bryant Lake B uck Adam Burgess Dustin Burgett Nicholas Burgett Heather Butler Aaron Byers Kathe rine Byers Travis Carr Ve ronica Castro As hl ey Cates Brad Chapi n Ashl ea Chri stensen Lucy Christe nsen Mi chael Christensen Rache ll e Chri stin a Erik C isneros Brian C lark-W inn Dav id C lark-Wi nn Richard C leaver Dana C lemmons David Coberl y 88 Junior Tiffany Allen and sophomore Heather Anderson work at Jimmy Johns that just opened in place of the old Dairy Queen.

The only thing I love about working is the paycheck," senior Zach Willi ams said. More and more students are getting jobs to pay for all kinds of things. " Most of my paychecks go to my car payment, car insurance, cell phone bill , and the rest goes to me," senior Sam Weaver sa id. " Because I want money," is the simpl e answer th at sophomore Tyler Cooksey gave. To have a job students need to be responsible and do what their boss says . Responibility also means gettin g school work done, maintaining good grades and still work to become succesfull. Wi lli ams works at Park and Go where he was a valet. "I work full time and make $ 10.00 an hour, and minimum wage ia $5. 15 an hour, so I am doing good on cash," Willi am said. "I have never really woITied about money and that is good." Weaver has more than one job. He works at the Sapp brothers making ei ght doll ars an hour and at Taco John s making eight fi fty and hour. She also woks at the beeehive for five fi fty. " It all pays off when you see the paycheck and it makes my eyes light up," she said. Some students also enj oy the work they do, and it's not just a paycheck. Juni or Nathan Cudd sa id, "I work everyday and I don ' t get tired because I love my job.

Most students in high school work because they need to start thinking abo ut their fut ure. They realize they will be in the real worl very fast , so they are preparing themselves for college and what lies ahead. " Yo u have to show up on time and do your job and help out,'' senior Sarah Fredrickson said.

Time Por uourse1P Making time for yourself and filling in your busy schedual can be hard to do . Spending time that consist of things you wa nt can cut into your agenda big time. Stdents either have a job, school function , or school activities that they are required to be in. To fit family and friends in to the students' personal time is hard to do as well and can be quiet the pain . This makes it harder to spend theri tie as they wish. Students have to spend out of school doing something they enjoy, that they enjoy too. Junior Luke Hiatt 's activities include weightlifting, Track, hanging out with frie nds, pl ay ing football and spending time with hi s family. Students a lso like to get out of state to get away from home and spend time on the slopes snowoarding. Junior Brian Clark does thi s when he goes to colorado. Clark also likes to four wheel and party in his spare time. Students have differnt hobbies that are involved with school. Junior Chelsey Stotts said, " I liked to play volleyball and tennis, and those are my sports." Where senior Rikki Wright says, " I would prefer to dance rather than anything else, and that's why I'm on the dance team. I just love to dance." Various students do have some free time on thier hand s. Clark said, " I usually have a lot of free time , being a junior and all , the homework becomes less." Working a full time job can be hard to do when you have so many school activites. Junior Ashlea Christensen sa id, " I dont like to work , but I like to get paid ," It can be hard to find time for school work and sleep with a job and school events. "My Schedule is very busy, but when I have time I usually watch - ~·ry ~y ~N.wf Nels•" movies or go shopping," Christensen said. Students sometimes have free time to get away fro m school and work j ust to release stress. This could involve being alone in a quiet place reading a book or doing something helpful. Some don 't like the quiet stuff at all , they relieve stress in different ways. Junioe Derek Underwood said, "I like to go fo ur-wheeling and ride my dirk bike right after its done raining. " Others tend to like the outdoor activities as their hobbies. Senior Brett Dofner and Mike Tilley like to hunt and fish. Dofner said , "If I ' m not doing anything in my spare time, I ' m helping out with my mom with whatever she needs." Doing differe nt things in our spare time makes days go by and time go fast. 91 John Hunt Danj elle Hutson Kate Ilin skaya Joshua Inman Chasity James Shawn James KhaJed Janom Amy Jensen Brianne Johnson Bryan Johnson Cody Jones Joanna Jozaitis Grace Keisner Allen Kellar Alex Kennett Brittany Kirk Kory Klement Angela Korner Amanda Kru se Andrew Kruse Andrew Lacombe Laura Larson Shantel Lee Samantha Leeson Kyle Liddick Michael Lindhorst Heather Mace Nicholas Mace Jess ica Madsen Rebecca Manti!

" Ri ght now I want to be a cop, but at first I wasn't sure wh at I wanted to do," junior Doug Wever said. CAP class helps many students decide what they want to be when they grow up . In CAP the students go over different career opportunities that are possible for the students. " In CAP class we went over things like our career goa ls and we also talk about what we want to do with our lives," junior Jason Ri ce said . There are many different oppinons about CAP class, some students may like it while othe rs do not. "I think CAP class is fun and it helped me choose a career, but sometimes the class can get boring when there is nothing left to do , because you can get yo ur portfolio clone early if you do it everyday," Wever sa id. Sometimes students don 't like all the work that they have to get done in CAP class. "When I was in CAP class there was a lot of work we had to do to fini sh our portfolio , but most of the work we did was really easy," senior Brad Riddle said. The main thing that is accompli shed in CAP is making a presentable portfolio that contains many different items like resumes or thank you letters. "The main thing we did in CAP, was working on a portfolio that would be good enough to hand into a business," junior Jake Farr sa id , "We also make a good resume where we include a lot of diffe rent activities that we have participated in at school. " CAP class is supposed to help you with your overa ll career goa l in life. " I thin k that CAP really helped me see what I would like to do with my life when I get older," Wever said. Once people finish CAP they have the option to stay in the class or switch to study hall . "Once I finished my portfoho I sw itched to study hall, so I didn 't have to stay in there," FaIT said. Many students enter high school not knowing for sure what they want to do with their life when they leave. "When I started high school I had no cl ue what I was going to do with my life, when I started CAP, I looked through a lot of diffe rent jobs until I fo und one that sounded like the thing I wanted to do for the re t of my life," FaIT said. CAP is a good class for stud nts if they do their work. At the end of the clas the students have learned how to make a presentable portfolio. 93 James Partman Racquel Pearson Ryan Peckham Eli zabeth Perez Kimberly Pieper Bryan Pike Roxanna Pimentel Anthony Porter Samantha Powell Zachary Premeau Joshua Prudhome Lacy Pruett Zach R atashak Alyssa Rea Lydia Redmond Riell y Rettele Francis Rhodd Jason Rice Mandy Ri chardson Matthew Richardson Stevie Rockwell Joseph Rodriquez Amanda Ronk Scott Rosenburg Kristopher Rutz Terry Rydberg Abby Sales Shawn Sales Zachery Sales Nancy Saracay Alexander Schard Natasha Sc hmitt Lukas Schroeder Jess ica Schupp Joyce Schuster Brandi Scislowicz Kyle Shockey Breann Si ngleton Nicho las Skudler Amber Smith Joe Sopcich Bianca Stanfill Austin Stites Chelsey Stotts Tracy Stubbs Heather Sulli van Rusty Sutton Ashley Tay lor Jimmy Thiemann Krystle Thompson Tay lor Thorson Mitchell Tibbitts Maria Torres Robert Toth Megan Travi s Zackery Tucker 94 Junior Dani Hutson, sophomore Rachel Kuenning and j unior Haley Martin sit togeth er at lunch in the new commons area.

Make-ups and break-ups happened all year long rather if it were the closest friends to the boyfrie or girlfriend , but which ones lasted longer the fri end or boyfri ends and girlfriends? In relation ships, there's times when students were forced to choose either the girlfriend , boyfri end , or the friend. Friends would say, he's not good enough fo r you. The boyfriend or girlfri ends point of view was, ' I don 't want you hanging out with them anymore.' Then there came times when students would stop talking to their bestfriend , beca use they wanted to keep their relationship. "I wouldnt break up with my girl friend , because I can keep both rela- tionships," junior Micheal May said. With any relati onship comes jealousy of some kind . " My girlfriend gets mad when I hang out with my fri ends instead of her, but I would rather have my friends because their easier to get along with ," sophom ore Frankie Viselli said. Whil e students deal with jealousy, they learn how to ball ance both . "My boyfriend does n 't care when I hang out with my friends, he usuall y j ust comes along with us," junior Tara Maus sa id. Problems occur while hav ing a boyfriend or girlfriend . Students in relati onships are more likely to sk ip class and lose more fri ends. "My friens get me in trouble all te time. They ca ll and text me during classes, Ma use stated. There were other problems like getting to class on ti me and trying to get enough sleep fro m talking on the phone all night to your boyfriend or girlfrie nd. When students are in a relationship, they don 't think about school as much . Friends were not much of a hastle. Rather if it was good or bad to be in a relationship, students are the j udge of that. "I dont like to dat during school. I believe it effects my school work," sophomore Vannesa Heradi a sa id. 95 Derek Underwood Lucero Valdez Jeremy Vanbibber Kathleen Vandermeulen Alejandra Vargas Anabel Velazquez Maria Vieyra Taylor Wade Jesse Walker Sara Watts Alannah Waugh Cassandra Wetzel Douglas Wever Erica Whaley Kevin Wickwire Raychal Wickwire Kaylea Wil liams Steven Willi ams Krysten Wilson Kyle Wil son Mia Wilson Marissa Wise Reann a Wiser Jesse Witzke 96 Mr. Hale is known f or his college classes.

PreparingPor eo11ege Could you im ag ine taking a cl ass that students in college are taking? May students decided to challenge themselves and to try and get some college classes out of the way while they were still in high school. Harder cl asses, more work and a faster pace is how it would be taking a college class. " I am taking HES Biology and last year I took regul ar Human Biology. It is so much more work and its like Mr. Hale becomes a completly different person," Junior Brad Brown, " Last year in Human Bio logy he was easy and we did no work, but this year in HES , its crazy." There are many pros and cons of taking a coll ege class. " Students get to push themselfs and dont have to wai t aro und for the other, not so fast working, students," said Honors English teacher Ms. Howard. On the flip side, some students prefer working at a slower pace. " I like making sure I know everything I poss ibly can or need before I move on to the next thing and by being in an HES (Honors Early Start) class, I dont get that," said Junior Eric Guzman. Another advantage is that if taking a college class in high school, then you wouldn 't have to take that class at college. It is said that taking a college class in high school in generally easier then it wou ld be actually at college, it may also save them money and time in the long run. Taking a coll ege class earl y may be hard for some students, but try teaching one. "I teach both regul ar and HES classes ," sa id Mr. HaJe, "It is tougher to teach a college c lass to hi gh schoolers then a regul ar high school cl ass and if it was my choice I would choose to teach a regular class over a college class anyday.' · HES Govem1eant teacher Mr. Loots agrees . "I have to have my daily plan ready the night before for my HES class , while for my regular govem1ant class i kinda just wing it that day," said Loots ," Regular classes are j ust easier to take and to teach. " Student should dec ide wether they want to work a little harder now and rest later, or take a reg ul ar class now and save co llege classes for college. Make the decision early though because it will definitly affect you in the long run. 97 Laura Andersen Tina Bakehouse Chuck Black Jean Blue Kell y Boy le Lizzy Busch Ho lly Demarque Amy Erwin Lori Fennell M ichael Forbes Steve Gerhardt Patty Gillespie Deb Goodman Mike Hale Nancy Hale Deb Hall Krisry Harri s Bruce Hath away Kris Hennings Ja ne Howard Al Hudek Karl a Hughes Janet Ives B ill Jasnowski lda Jessen Mike John son Lester Kad ner Dav id Kaed ing Dale Kass meie r Sandy Leaders 98 Mu/limedia teacher Ed Black gives instruclions 10 his class , his humor was a favorite among sludents.

Or maybe they ' re the type of teacher that pushes students to excel in whatever their little heart desires. Everyone has their opinion on what makes that certain teacher shine just a little brighter than the rest. "It takes a strong moral character. They have to be compassionate, disciplined, and desire excellence. This is my favorite quote, 'Students will rise to the leve l of your expectations.' In other words, if I expect more, I' II get more," band instructor Stephen Moore said. Teachers gain more respect not with what they teach , but how they teach it. How teachers treat their students can make all of the difference. Give respect, and respect wi ll be received. "The ideal teacher is nice, but they discipline their students. They care about us and they think about everyone, not just one student," junior Jamie Hansen said. Sophomore Jesse Brown agrees on the qualities of the ideal teacher. "Someone who is dedicated and firm, but fair," he said. Teachers definitely have their fair share of issues with students, but regardl ess, it takes a lot of patience. " You need patience. You need to be not necessarily equal but fair and strong willed," world history teacher Kelly Boyle said. Teachers hace differing teaching techniques for different students. "Students who are more skilled challenge me to create advanced curriculum depending on their ability level, a multi-leve l cu1Ticulum ," Mr. Moore said. Students agree that they like fun classes with fun teachers. Classes that allow them to take a break from all of the hustle and bustle of high school, but still get the job done. "I want a teacher that can be serious and teach you well , but they can be fun and joke around sometimes," freshman Alex Newland said. Students want to go to a class where they can learn without the exasperating, or annoying lectures. "I want someone who can teach about a subject with lecturing you. I like fun classes," sophomore Zach Cudd said. While it's obvious that the ideal teacher varies from person to person, there are many qualities and traits that are desirable such as honesty, dedication , sensitivity, a strong work ethis , and a good listener. 99 Ryan Loots Pam Mass Mary McGlade Chris Moore Stephen Moore Adam Moss Doug Muehling Patrick Nepple Kel i Odell Marleen Peterson Wendy Punteney Nancy Reiff Vicky Rockwell Dev in Schoening Jan Smith Miriam Smi th Cathy Straub Stephanie Tallman Ale n Vandenberg Harv Van nordstrand Nico le Vetter Travis Walker Je ro lyn Weese Ed Weni ger Lori Wi lli ams Chri s Wood 100 ....

Please take your seats and qu iet down. But the class continues to talk. Please take your seats. Everybody take your seats. But still the wo rd s are ignored , either intentionn aly or unintentionally. This can be the life of a substitute teacher, and how many substitutes try to get the attenti on of a class. Substitute teachers have the tough job of com ing into a classroo m where they may not know any of the students, and sometimes the students believe thi s is their cue to try and act up and do what they want things they wouldn 't do if their everyday teacher was there. " Substitutes are okay, but I'd rather have my norma l teachers," junior Maria Torres said. When there is a substitute, students tend to drift off of the lesson pl an and not stay on task. "If there is a sub , not much work gets done," sophomore Brittany Cronk said. "We take advantage of havi ng a day off from our teachers." Substitutes aren't bad people. They replace the teachers fo r a day or so, giving students a break from them, yet students are sometimes mean and disrespectful to them. "I think students are mean to subs because they think it 's fun, " junior Chelsey Overl y said. "It's not like they're go ing to have to deal with that teacher the rest of the year." Others also fee l that being mean to the substitute is okay. It 's all fun and games, but think about how they feel. They come into a class full of new faces and possibl y a subject they know nothing about. -~·ry ~y ~S"" ~",..'tt "I think that it's hard for a substitute to come into a class where they don 't know how to teach the subject," Torre said. "If they don 't know how to teach it, then they aren't able to help the students with their problems." When teachers are absent the need someone who can take over. "When I'm out of school for the day, I look for a sub who I think will be good with the kids and stick to my plan," foods teacher Cathy Straub said. "B ut sometimes it's hard to find one, because you never know if they are going to stick to the plan or not." Hav ing substitutes is just something that students and teachers have to deal with. It can be a positive or negative experience, it all depends on how it is dealt with. 101 vZI 6ZI-9ZI ~ll!llllll!MS ){;)lUJ, SIJ!D/SAOH SAOH ~ SIJ!D u ~ ........ N 0 I ........

The members of Student Council helped put on the school dances and Blood Drives for the Red Cross. ASTRA drew a community chest card and helped out by recycling. The newspaper and yearbook staffs had many obstacles to overcome. With a small staff for newspaper, it made getting publications done on time difficult. The yearbook staff had to start the book completely over in mid-April due to loss of their hard drive. The band started the year with another new director, Mr. Steve Moore, HOSA and DECA went and competed at districts and both went on to nationals. Without these groups, there wouldn 't be any musical entertainment, yearbook, or community involvement. ~Editor-in-chief Amanda Haynie Student Council Newspaper/ Yearbook 146 144 143 (Top) Sophomore Angela Whaley works on the fi nal touches to her story on the last day of school.

The 2006-2007 journalism classes worked through low numbers in one case, and lost info rmation in another to still create memorable publications. The journalism classes consisted of the newspaper class which published The Signal and The Hodgepodge, and the yearbook class which produced The Monticello, the school's yearbook. The newspaper staff had to deal with a smaller staff than they have had the past few years , as they published the newspaper and magazine with just fi ve people for most of the year. "It makes it difficult when everyone on the staff has enonnous responsibility, a opposed to when there is a bigger staff and the duties can be divided up," adviser Dev in Schoening said. Staff members included Chris Riley, Amber Smith, Rachel Kuenning, Brian Clark, Andrew Kruse. The yearbook staff had plenty of members, but they had to deal with a different problem entirely. In about April the class lost most of the work that had been completed up to that point. The computer storage dev ice they used to house everything was damaged, and they lost all of the inf01mation. "We probably could have retrieved a lot of the info rmation, but it would have cost us over $1,000 dollars," Schoening said. The class preserved though, even working late into the summer to make sure the yearbook was completed. The editor of the yearbook was senior Amanda Haynie. Shad had just a couple of other senior , Sarah Fredrickson and Rikki Wright on staff. 145 (Top) Junior Da vid Clark participates in an eating contest during a Student Council activity.

The school year is winding down, coming to a close and sumn1er time is here. As we look back and reflect on this past year, we all experienced the new additions to the school together. From the closing of the student lounge to the opening of the new commons area, it was all a part of this year that we will remember. For the 206 graduating seniors, it is a time to spread their wings and fly on to new things. Also, graduation day was a time to reflect and think of the fellow classmates that did not complete the game of high school. Every one of the seniors took a chance , played a role in the game, and succeeded at graduating. They won the game of Jacketopoly. This book captured it all.

As our lives change, many new things must be accepted and old things forgotten . Our high school years are the times that we must live by "Out with the old; in with the new." These ........ - are the years we will change the most. Going into high school as a freshman can be scary. This is the year you must forget what was expected of you and meet new expectations . It is a new school, a new year, and a new start. You must be able to live by the motto "Out with the old; in with the new." This applies to seniors as well. It's time for a new life and a new beginning. Here's your chance to excel , here's your chance to make your own decisions. Forget es mar 2 1Jivision about the past and focus on the present. Live each day as a new day and get rid of the unwanted old stuff. To the classes in between , live one day at a time. Be able to adjust to new things each year. Don 't dwell on the previous year and live like this is your last year. Have fun and remember "Out with the old ; in with the new." To every class , student, and teacher take this book and let it help you remember those people and things you learned to care about. Look through it remembering what you left behind , but also what lies ahead. This book is a bout you , yo ur good tim es and bad tim es.

The student life section shows the changes in our friends , our clothing , and everything else about our everyday lives. It shows the changes that each group of individuals make throu gh out o ur high school years along with th e changes in the act iv iti es , dance themes, and hangouts of last year. With ea ch new year comes new th ings . With in this section those new th ings are represen ted. Perhaps the bigg est chan ge that affected most student's lives this year is the change in dress code. The outfits of last year were no longer accepted and became old news. We were no longer allowed to wear them and the fashion statement changed . Another important event reflected in the student life section is the accomplishment made by 191 seniors - GRADUATION! There are many important changes and accomplishments that occur throughout the year in each individuals life. While turning the pages through this section , you will be able to reflect on the changes that you made as an individual and the changes your friends made. • f!dilr>t-i11.-chieO, gam.t111.lha 7foww Students rives are 4 'Division Out with the_ OL ••••••••• ever-chan Student Life 5 1.

I would rather be known for who I am, a caring , generous person who helps in the time of need ," junior Kody Kellar said. Labels and stereotypes are seen everyday around schools. From high-class to low-class , everyone fits in somewhere. "I don't think there is a problem with being labeled at school, at least not a very big one," junior Jordan Eissa said. However, freshman Nicole Balmer disagrees, "Yes, it's a major problem," she says. "People are being judged, and no one knows who they really are." There are mixed feelings about whether there is a big problem or not.

Students , depending on the teacher, can receive detentions , referrals , or even suspension depending on the what they say. Labels and stereotypes have been the base of bullying in schools all across the world. It can cause problems for some students who have become discouraged, and do not like attending school. "Sometimes I feel that I have no place to belong here. I feel like an outsider when I really do attempt to get along with people and make friends," an anonymous student said . Students have the opportunity to become what they dream and what people think in high school doesn't change that or alter those dreams. $-ve-ruc!e& ~e-re<5f$ec! 1. Rlondc 2. J ock 3. crd 1.

The main events for the evening were to pie a SlUdGnlS raniGiPHlG During HDffiGGOmino WGGh teacher in the face and the volleyball tournament.

Student Council put a lot of hard work towards the dance, including decorations and music, and it didn't go unnoticed . "This homecoming was probably the best dance that I have been to in high school. The music and decorations were so much better. It was pretty much the best dance yet! " senior Cody Johnson said . Last year with the "Jukebox Jive 50's" dance , students had complaints that it was a 50 's dance without 50's music. When student council hired a D.J. they made sure he would play lots of 80's music. "I really enjoyed the 80 's music at the dance. It's not everyday you can be dressed like and dance like your in the 1980's. It was real fun to dance with my friends that night. We had so much fun , I almost didn't want them to play today's music," sophomore Heather kce. At'/ gavotile p art wd.J "''! hai r. !J would have had a 'f'td.t hair ,l,'/ evet'/,t,'/ 6ad then.

Before the dance usually students go out with their friends and eat dinner. A few of the popular places were Hooters and HuHot. "I went to Hooters with a huge group of people to dinner. It had to be the loudest, but funniest time that I've had at dinner," junior Jessica Ziegler said . Looking at the teachers' faces one could see most of them felt like they were back 20 years ago. "It was so funny looking at the students outfits to see what they would come up with . I th ink Alyssa Herrick's outfit looked awesome.

"Yes I have school spirit, but nobody else does this year," senior Mike Moore claims . It is hard to walk down the halls and no longer see the athletes lockers decorated . Previous years lockers were decorated for every athlete on the day of a big game. "It would help if the cheerleaders would try to support us by decorating our lockers or something ," said junior Nate Evers, who also plays football. One of the cheerleaders responded to that quote. "The.reason we don't decorate football players' lockers is because we feel we do our jobs by cheering and never get any recognition, so why should we do anything more, " sophomore Kaylea Williams explained . Some say school functions were not as fun or exciting to the lack of school spirit this year.

The student body did not attend many sporting events and that may have been a reason the football team did not do well. "Maybe if we had more people attending our games we might have got more pumped up and played harder," sophomore Brian Clark said. "Hopefully we have more students com ing to our games and actually try to support us next year." School spirit is a lot more then just going to the games and paying attention , one has to encourage the team and try to help them out. Why should a T.J. athlete even try if their fans are not encouraging them? "It's so hard to try and play at 100% if you have nobody there to encourage your team to play better," explained Clark. Here is an idea to all the students ofT.J ., go and support the teams! In the end , all of the encouragement will pay off. Vt~BJ;t@ Sb.@t\} $cb.C§<§l fb'irgt 1. Homecoming Week 2. Cheerle~Kicrs 3.

"TheD.J.wasprettyawesome, itwascool being able to have a video D.J.," senior Martin Rounds said. Another change was the way the court was setup. They were put together by grade, and then the winners from each grade were announced. It ended up working a lot better and didn't take as much time as previous years.

All the student's faces are glowing in preparation of the new chapter of Moby Dick until, disaster strikes in a distressingly familiar form. Maybe it's a loud obnoxious squeak from the back of the room, or an eraser plopping off the back of a students head that brings giggles from all different sides of the room . This is the daily work of a class clown . "I do it to make people laugh ," senior Nicholas Boos said. Everyone needs laughter in a class or students feel locked down with all the rules and restrictions, but what drives a "class clown" to do some of the things he/she will do? "I like to make people happy, cause when they are having a bad day laughter makes it better, " senior Ashtyn Neill said . Teachers have their side of the story as well.

Class clowns have all sorts of reasons as to why they do things to entertain others . Whether it be to cheer someone up, or just be the center of attention, class clowns love to make people laugh . "I do it to get attention , and the attention is given to me because people like me I guess," freshman Kyle Blue said . Class clowns add an aspect to the classroom , as long as the student is under control. They make people laugh and bring smiles to many faces. Although they may do things for the wrong reasons , class clown s have been around for a long time and probably will 8e around forever. 1. Kvlc Rluc 2. Nichol~1s Roos 3. Renn~' Rr~m1 lett 4.

"There were stupid relationship problems with everyone , and then all the rumors!, " junior Gina Wilson said . Rumors played a big part in the drama .

Prom was held on May 13, 2006 at the Mid America Center from 8-11 p.m. "A Walk in Paradise" was the theme and the colors were tropical. Like every other year, the juniors had lots of preparations to do for the dance. "We started planning about two months in advance," junior class vice president Brittany Turpen said. The 2006 court winners were senior king Garth Wright, senior queen Valerie Robinson , junior prince Brett Dofner, and junior princess Jill Kammrad . " I- was very surprised when I was announced queen, it could have been any of the four girls," Robinson said . For girls , preparing for prom begins many months in advance .

All of the stress and planning is worth while for students when prom night finally arrives. The anticipation of prom made everyone very anxious to be there. A banquet was booked til 9:30 right next to prom so the D.J. could not turn up the music. "I was pretty mad because I couldn 't dance or anything ," sen ior Natalie Toman said. After the banquet was over the music was turned up and everyone began to dance. Even with all of the stress and expenses, prom still managed to be attractive to students.

An inflatable boxing ring , where two people got 'all geared up and bounced around boxing each other was also available. However, only two people could be in it at one time, leaving many students to sit and watch . "I thought that post prom was fun, but it would be more fun if we would have had more games to keep people more occupied . The hypnotist was flippin ' hilarious and I think that it wo~ld be fun if we had him for longer," junior Charis Oswald said . The hypnotist, which started at 1 a.m., was a favorite event.

We have always been that "for-s ure" win to them . No other team respected us and always tried to improve their stats when they played us . Now, things have changed . We have become a program that deserves respect and is beginning to earn it. We have had great accomplishments that people are starting to recognize . We have become the team to stay away from if you are looki ng for an easy win. From bo w ling to t rac k , or swimming to basketball , each team is improving and becoming the team to beat. Starting the year off, the softball team and baseball team passed the expectations given to them . Only returnin g two starters , the team e x c e eded soft ball expe ctations and fou gh t for a winning record. Wh en it come s to football , everyone looks at their record and laughs . However, the football players learned more i n this season than most of us learn in a year. They learned how to persevere when all odds are against them . They learned how to stay proud when everyone around them was tearing them down . Many great accomplishments were made by athletes in our school. Wrestling sent one wrestler to state . And the girl bowlers sent six state and the boys sent one. Members of the girls and boys track team also made an appearance at state , including a 1st place medal for Tiffanie Synacek in the high jump and a 5th place finish for Martin Rounds in 11 O meter high hurdles. It is these accomplishments that have made other school s realize that we are not the same Thomas Jefferson athletes. The old ways are gone , and the new ways keep getting better. - .[!,/,(or·i.nd.i.J. !?,,,,..,,,tfu, 'Atfifetes (a it a(( on 36 'Division 'llowm . . / - / the fine or victories Syorts 37 • The team ended the season with an· impressive 21-15 record , ma king it the best season the Jackets have had in a few years .

That was not the case for the Lady Jacket softball team . When they think of summer they think of battling the heat, long practices and game after game .

They had to look to the underclassmen that didn't have much varsity playing time .

Your opponent is yourself, your negative internal voices , your level of determination ." This was one of the many quotes that head coach, Nicole Vetter gave the girls before they went on the court. And unfortunately, it was only the truth. The girls fought hard during the season and finished with a record of 9-12; not exactly disappointing , but most would say they could have done better. The girls new this as well. They were always striding to get better, always fighting the perfectionsts inside themselves. 1. Junior Jen Swatek charges down the court to make a layup against Sioux City East. 6o Syo rt s While one girl may have got down on herself, they never got down on each other. "We had a whole lot of different leaders on this team ," coach Vetter said . "Senior Val Robinson is the vocal leader who usually gets the team ready to go and energetic." Junior Jen Swatek was the offensive leader who could "basically put the ball in the basket for us" according to coach Vetter. Prooving Vetter right, Swatek broke the record for most three pointers in a game. While Vetter never doubted Swatek, it came as a surprise to Jen . "It was really exciting for me and my name also went up on the record board ," Swatek said. However, all of the excitement ended when the season ended . The season ended with a nail-biting 4038 loss to cross town rival Abraham Lincoln in the first round of district play. The two teams split in the regular season , so the district game could have went either way. It was a very emotional game because it was the final game for the seniors. For them it was the last time they would ever play basketball with a T.J . uniform on . Vetter said , "The girls that are leaving can not be replaced as great young ladies and vocal leaders, but they can be replaced athletically." 1.

People also may not know that bowling is an up and coming sport around the country, and that each day more and more people are starting to bowl. The Thomas Jefferson girl's bowling team proved this by sending six bowlers to the state tournament in Des Moines at Plaza Lanes. The girls had many tough matches throughout the year, but 1.

William s averaged 160.42 throughout the season. 62 Syorts they proved that they could handle anything that got thrown at them, and the six bowlers that made it wanted to prove to everyone that bowling really is a sport. This was one of the best years that the T.J . girls have had in bowling . The boys on the other hand didn 't do as well as what they might have hoped to , sending just one bowler to state . Freshman Ray Holder was the sole boys bowler at the tournament. "I was very happy to go to state, but in a way I was kind of lonely because I was the only person from T.J .," Holder said . The boys are looking forward to a new year and fresh start to things . "Next year I hope that more people will make it to state and that we can have a better season, " junior Shawn St. John said . Four of the six girls bowlers that made it to state were seniors , which means the underclassmen have some big shoes to fill next year. But with the talent that they have no one is worried about it. "I think that the underclassmen could have a good chance in sending more bowlers next year, but they are going to have to put a lot of hard work in to it," senior Cierra Laughlin said . 1.

At the meet, their title was taken away because of the illegal use of a cell phone on the course . However, a few weeks later they reconsidered the use of the phone and realized many other rules were broken at the meet. And the girl 's regained the official title of conference champions . The controversy over t he team title did not cause anyone to overlook the accomplishments made by senior Ashtyn Neill. Neill was the city champion three years in a row, and was the conference champion her sen ior year. She also fin ished eight n districts, two places shy of making it to state . "It was kind of disappointing to get eighth because that means I only failed to go to state by a few strokes ," she said. "But at the same time , it was exciting because I was so close ." The Lady Jackets lose two seniors who were members of the team for four years . While it will be hard to replace their talent , many girls have shown interest in be ing part of the golf team . The boy's team had a pretty good season as wel l. Some may have hoped for better results , but each day they showed improvement and the desire to be good . Kiersten Ruff was an integral part of the girl's golf team as a junior. Sh e will be a big part of the team's success next year. Senior Brian Meyer was a dependable member of the boy's golf team. Brian continued to grow as a player during his time on the team. 76 Syorts The team was led by junior Ryan McCloud and senior Brian Meyer. Both guys have been varsity golfers and have the experience and knowledge to be great. "It was a fun year and I am going to work hard in the off season so I can come back strong when spring comes ," McCloud said . While losing seniors Meyer and Jake Brown, the golf team has many guys that are willing to step up skill wise and be good leaders . "If all the guys work hard in the off season we can be pretty good next year," sophomore Aaron Byers said . There were lots of new faces on both the boy's and girl's golf squads. The teams enjoyed substantial growth in the number of participants, and the coaches hope that will lead to more success on the course.

The team performed a number of different types of routines , to a number of different types of mus ic. T he team performed jazz, hip hop and porn equally this year at fo otbal l and girls and boys basketball. "As a team we perform our porn routines the best. Probably because everyone has to be uniformed and look like all one dancer, " senior Missy Booton said .

With change in mind , the fine arts department is adjusting to new instructors and new programs. As each of us know, every teacher teaches in a different way. However, the band , choir, and drama students had no choice but to adapt. The band is now under the instruction of Mr. Bluford and suffered the loss of Mr. Clark, right in the middle of the year making it hard for many to get use to . Not only is it hard enough to get a new instructor in the middle of the year, they also had to adjust to the new rules that he brought. Some for the better and some for the worse . Another dramatic change is going to be the loss of choir director, Mr. Gray, who has been at T J off and on for 30 yea rs and consecutively for 16 years. The loss of Mr. Gray will be a significant loss because he provides insight to the music world. Not only will his knowledge of music be missed, his voice and ability to direct music will be missed as well . However, Mr. Gray made the most of his last year. The show choir had one of the best years ever. They placed in competitions they have not placed in for years . Not only was it a good accomplishment for Mr Gray, it also felt good to many of the students. Drama also suffered the loss of enthusiastic and caring teacher, due to the birth of her new son. Ms. Green provided the group with much emotion . She not only cared about her students , but also cared about what sh e w as doi ng . However, she will be back and get the program back to where it was when she left it. While some th ings may never change, the fine arts group seems to have suffered enough change th is year that w ill last a life time .

The flaggers, the pit members, and the rest of the band members worked hard to prepare themselves for another successful season. Band Director Dave Clark has led the Monitcello Regiment to the top in many area competitions in the past, and this year was no different. The marching band lost drum major Derek Kessler to graduation , leaving a spot for a new leader. Junior Will Cozhiar stepped up to fill the leadership position . "Will is a good drum major. It was hard for him to fill such a big role as a junior, but he did a good job," senior marching band member Jenny Neu said . This year the marching band placed well at all of their competitions. The band had a great showing at Glenwood , where they received 1 ratings in all categories , the highest rating possible. The band continued to excel at the Clarinda competition , where the band again came away with the highest possible rating . Finally, the Jackets finished their season at the state competition , where they again received the 1 ratings in all categories . The Monticello Regiment earned the best score of the day at the state competition . "I think the highlight of the season was when we had the best score at state, and when we got the overall award at Glenwood," Neu said . The marching band has put many hours in throughout the year to ensure that their season was a successful one . The band starts practice in the summer, when the members put in four to six hours of practice a day. Once school began, the members also began going to weekly night practices. The band learned complicated routines completely by memory. These routines were showcased at their various competition in addition to all of the home football games. "It's really hard, because you get long packets that show you your positions in the routine , and you have to memorize it all, " Neu said . The marching band put in a significant amount of time to attain the level of success that they did this year. "I think we were so successful because we encouraged each other.

Throughout the many groups, the opportunity to touch another 's life is innumerable . , From blood drives to helping the Ronald McDonald house , their attempts are endless. A big part of our school is Student Council. Not only do they help out our school , they also help others. Student Council decorates for dances and holds two blood drives a year. While Student Coun ci l takes pride in helping others, NHS ta kes pride in keeping our environment clean and recogni z ing those persons who ha ve mainta ined academic excellence . NHS helps maintain th e Hitchcock nature center and recognizes those who are inducted into the Hall of Fame. Along with helping others, FEA spends a night read ing to children. ASTRA raise s money for cystic fibrosis a ndd helps the Ro nald McDonald hou se. HOSA spends two days a we e k at hos pi ta ls Stu£ents 106 'Division learning and helping others. And DECA does a great job of providing us with food . Perhaps less known organ izations that put in a lot of time for the students at our school are journalism and yearbook . Journalism works hard to inform the students of what is going on and changes through the Signal and the Hodgepodge . Yearbook spends all year producing a book that provides each student with memories th a t will nev er be forgotten . Thespian and Speech are also org a nizations th a t are rare ly recognized . While th e stu dents involved in speech will probably be our next politicians, the thespia n students will be the next actors on Broadway. For those who are involved in nothing , it is time to give up your old ways . Get involved , go out there and help someone out. Do someth ing new!

ASTRA stands for Ability , Service, Training, Responsibility, and Achievement, which are the values that the organization is designed to instill in its members. ASTRA , the school organization committed to service and the betterment of the community , is sponsored by English teacher Mrs. Lizzy Busch . During the fall the ASTRA members sold Mardi Gras beads at football games and other school events, netting over $1200 in the process . This project was new to this year. ASTRA also has many projects that they do every year. "We have done lot's of things, such as raising money for the others open door mission, volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House, and volunteering at the carnival at Franklin Elementary," sophomore ASTRA member Alex Hedrick said . During the spring, the ASTRA members help run the annual Hoops for Heart basketball tournament. In addition to this, they continue volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House year round . "It will be harder as the year goes on to do events, because we're losing Mrs. Busch, so it will ' be harder to organize and get staff supervision ," Hedrick said . Mrs. Busch left school in the spring for maternity leave, and the ASTRA members were left to organize events without her assistance. The ASTRA president was junior Michaela Hotz . Other officers included junior Brittany Hiers as vice president, and junior Cambria Brannan as secretary. There was no elected treasurer. The members met every Wednesday from 3:00 to 3:30 in Mrs . Busch's room to discuss ideas for projects and service opportunities. "I would say there are about 20-30 members who are involved in everything and participate in the projects," Hedrick said . ASTRA creates a valuable opportunity for students to get involved in school activities and to help others in the process. Area elementary schoolers, people at the Ronald McDonald House , and victims of the hurricanes have all benefited from the efforts of the ASTRA members this year. ..................

Your tired and want to go home , only to realize that you left your luggage at the station . Thats how Devin Schoening, the yearbook and journalism teacher, felt when he got back home from the two day trip to Chicago for a journalism conference . Ian Wilson , a senior writer for journalism , said that his favorite part was when Mr, Schoening left his bag at the the subway station in Chicago. Mr. Schoeing had many things in his bag that he left, including a sweater vest that nobody liked and other clothes as well. " The conference gave me more ides, and better ideas on how and what Windy City to write about, " said Wilson . The conference was held by the National Scholastic Press Association and the Journalism Education Association , on how to get new ideas and how produce and manage the yearbook or newspaper. Ten students attended the trip including: juniors Amanda Haynie, Rikki Wright, Jill Kammrad, and Andrea Gnader, and seni,9rs Sean Johnson .Sam Flowers, Cierra Laughl in, Ian Wilson, Nick Cavallaro and Tom Mawhiney. But the trip wasn 't all about the conference and going to classes . "It was more about hanging out, sight seeing , and getting to know each other more than just the conference ," junior Andrea Gnader, a staff writer for the yearbook said . Some of the places that they went to include the Hancock Observatory, the United Center, and the Magnificent Mile. "My favorite part of the trip was when we went to Navy Pier. We ate at a huge McDonalds, then we all went shopping , and after that we went to the biggest mirror maze lv'e ever been to and everybody looked wierd, " Gnader said . "My favorite part of the trip was going to the Blackhawks Hockey game at the United Center," senior Sean Johnson said . The United Center is where the Chicago Bulls, and the Chicago Blackhawks play. "It was really a once in a lifetime experince and it was so much fun , if I could, I would do it all over agian, "said Johnson .

New student dress code causes problems t, • •• The year started with a new dress code which was suppose to curtail the inappropriate dress which was happening in previous years . From miniskirts to formal pants, from tops too short and long sleeve shirts everybody went upside down with this new decision . The code stated that cleavage (front and back) would not be acceptable, nor would bare shoulders , shorts or skirts too short, visible undergarments and more. Many started the new school year with a new look. Some tried to wear what they wanted which earned them detentions, referrals, and even a talk with their parent. Teachers were alert early in the year, and if they saw someone in something they were not supposed to they were asked to changed or they got sent to the office if they didn't want to . "Every body dressed how they wanted ," freshman Olivia Ceballos said. Sophomores BreAnn Singleton and Amanda Do w go unnoti ce d with r7--i••-..~ exposed midriffs. 142 Soyfiomores Everything went out with the old and in with the new, but at least there seemed to be more respect. But many didn't like the idea of changing . Many students went shopping to abide by the dress code . Some students had the thought that everything was going to be alright if they dressed how they wanted , but that changed once school got started . Students also saw that the dress code improved the overall look of the school. Everything inappropriate had to be left out till after school or for the weekends and sometimes under a sweater. "You don't see things you 're not supposed to see, " Ceballos said. Throughout the year everything went better, and most students dressed how they were supposed to. The dress code was here to stay, and students in the future will have to be prepared.

Ankenbauer 's class works on various projects before finals during fourth hour. Assessing the pros and cons of honors classes students take a couple of college classes in high school it can save them lots of money. "I've taken a few HES classes at the Tucker Center. I think it's a smarter way to go , taking your classes while your in high school. I can use my college credits I got this year and take them over to Iowa Western," seniorT.J . Stastny said . Students who don't take any honors or college classes have their own reasons, most of them being they don't think they could or don 't want to move along in class that fast. "Even though I enjoy being in my honors classes , I really don't see the point. I don't get looked at any differently because I'm in a higher English , and the people that really matter like colleges just look at your grade," Hotz said . Individual students must decide what is the best route for them - honors or regular. Working at faster pace, completing more work , and working independently are things that a student has to do to be successful in honors classes . "Mrs . Haningan taught the curriculum in a slower pace when I was in regular freshmen English, then I switched to honors at semester. I switched because I felt like I was ahead of the class and could move faster," junior Michaela Hotz said . Most students that take honors classes take them because they don't like waiting around for other students in their regular classes , and they want to push themselves . "I'd rather be in the honors English class so that I'm working at the pace that I work best at," junior Cambria Brannan said. More and more students are taking college credit classes instead of honors classes . Taking an Honors Early Start (HES) class can help a student out more in the long run if they plan to continue their education in college .

Junior Shilo Stockton talks on her cell phone to a friend during her 7th hour Sociology class . -·- Students perfect the method of procrastination "Procrasti na ti on can be a good thing if you like to work under pressure," sen ior Stephen Jensen said . Most students have been procrastinatin g for as long as they can remember. Some students are even proud of their procrastination. "Procrastination is an art form . It's not something you can be taught or just stumble upon . All you can do is develop the skills your parents gave you at birth ," senior Tom Garrean said. "I come from a long line of slackers. My dad was big slacker, and his dad before that. I, however, am the ultimate . It was not my choice to be given such a gift, but a blessing. " Whether students procrastinate because they feel they need the pressure of a deadline , or because they are just lazy, procrastination has become a huge part of the lives of students. When a teacher gives an assignment, the first question on every student's mind is, "When is this due?" The due date of the assignment will determine how long the student can relax before actually beginning work . This attitude of procrastination is apparent in many of the students . Students can be seen frantically scribbling assignments before the bell rings , or else walking around with big , black circles under their eyes because they stayed up all night to write that English paper. Students claim many reasons for their procrastination . "I usually enjoy procrastination because is leaves my week free , even though I have to stay up until four to do all of my homework," senior Kent Evans said . While teachers claim that procrastination is sometimes a big reason why students get poor grades, some kids say that theY are unable to do homework ahead of time.

Rounds is very involved in the fine arts, as she is a member of the school choir, and she participates in many plays, both inside school and out. "My favorite show that I've eve r been involved in was the Chorus Line at the Chanticleer," Rounds said . For Rounds , singing is more than just a hobby. It's something that she has done all of her life , and somethi ng that she hopes to do for a long time. "I' ve alwa ys sang , but I never knew what I had unti l about eighth grade. I never knew I coul d possibly do somethin g with it, and that I wasn't just another face in the choir unti l then," Rounds said. "My ulti mate career as piration is to sing on Broadway. I don't ca re if I get the lead or the smallest part, because singing on Broadway is singing on Broadway. It's something I dream about. " While Rou nds leads a busy life, she still fi nds time for her fa mily. Rounds is also very close w ith her mother. "I would say that my mom is my ro le model, because she lives her life to make others happy, and she never quits, and everything she does is the best it could ever be . She does so many things, I can't even believe all she does. She's crazy and lovable, and everyone loves her," Round s said . Who is your hero? "My dad, just beca use he's my dad."

Senior yea r is suppose to be the best year of all but, it seems to fly by so fast that there is littl e ti me to sit back and reflect upon the previous years . The year is fille d wit h a lot of major lifechanging decisions that will affect ~ you for the rest of your life. Being a se ni o r has its advantages and disadva ntages. The obvious advantage is fina lly being out on your own , and fi nally getting the freedom that you have alw ays wan te d and d r eamed about. The ove rwhe lmin g stress makes fo r t he biggest disadvantage. ACT's , scholarshi p applications, picking a col lege and budg et in g money are maj o r headach es eve ry senior faces. Even though these decisions may be hard to make each decision will effect the lives of each and every senior in some way. Seniors will make the most of thei r last year, knowing that it will be the last year that they will spend with many of their friends, but even 2006 158 V ivision as friends pa rt they still plan on keeping in touch while still trying to deve lope new friendships. In many cases friendships are lost and new ones are built. But in t hat one spe cial case a friendship will last a lifetime . For seniors it is hard to figure out who they will be seeing and talking to aga in and who will no longer be a part of their lives . They are constantly reminded that these will be the best years of the ir lives , b ut w ith a ll of the decisions that can be hard to believe. Whether some seniors are stayi ng close to home or moving far away, they all are coming out of high school going into reality for the first time in th eir lives. Enjoy the last year that you will have with many of your friends and teachers that you may have taken for granted, be wise with all of the decisions that you make, each one you make will change your life forever.

Keeping in touch can be a close to impossible task. "I think it will be really hard to keep my friends when I'm out on my own," senior Jake Brown said. Many friendships are lost when students move away from town. "I will be attending BYU , and I probably will have no time to call home," senior Natalie Toman said. A good alternative to moving away is attending Iowa Western Community College. Not only are students staying close to friends and family, they are saving money. Some say that part of the college experience is moving away and experiencing life out on their own, which can be an enticing offer for any graduating senior. So what is holding them back from leaving town? Moving away from friends and family is the biggest reason why. Even if friends are far away, there are 1. Senior Jenny Shadden talks on her cell phone. Cell phones will be a common tool in keeping in touch with friends. 2. The internet is also a good way of communica ting after high school. At www.tjsportsfan .com you can read entries from gradutaes James Smith and Derick Townsend. 3. A group of friends hang out at the bonfire sharing what little time they have together. many different ways to keep in touch. Email is one of the most convenient tools of communication. Practically every col lege student has access to a computer. Email is also easy and affordable, with many companies offering service. "Email is one of my favorite ways to talk to my fiend s, because I can send pictures," Missy Booton said. The most obvious form of communication is the telephone. Cell phone minutes and long distance charges can be straining on a college student's wallet. Phone calls can be an inconvenience with work a nd schoo l, but text mess aging is becoming a popular form of communication. "I like using text messaging, but it also costs 10 cents a message," Booton said. During the weekends or breaks it is a good idea to plan a day/night out with friends. It can be a challenge to keep in touch with friends but it is also one of the most important things.

Wow! What a year! Between everything that went on around us and everythi ng that went on inside each of us, this year was pretty unique. Heari ng loud ba ngs all day and th e sch oo l s ha king like it was going to collapse. From the feeling of the boys basketball team almost m ak ing it to st ate , to the exci tement we ea c h fe lt w hen Tiffanie Synacek won the high jump at Drake again , it was all in thi s book. Some lost a dea r friend , wh ile oth ers may be losing many. While one student's life was ended early, 172 senio rs w ill be lea ving the lives of many. However, this year was not all about the pai n and the tears in our lives. We each enjoyed those few things that made us laug h so hard we cried . All of us chuckled at that kid who fell down the stairs and w hen som e stud ents glued the lock s shut on a few te ache r 's doors . Many successful events also ha ppen ed thi s year. The band went to London by invitation on ly, a wrestler made it to state , show choir had one of the best years ever, bowling went to state and other teams showed much improvement. Almost every event that went on at our school was in this book. The Snoball dance that had a video disc jockey, to prom and the chocloate fountain . The construction and the traveling teachers , it is all here. We did not miss a thing . All of the new things that happened this year shaped us into who we were at the end of the y e a r. We forgot about what happpened in the past, adjusted to the changes, and went on doing what we had to do to get by. "Out with the old , in with new" is what we lived by! We went on learning when it was practically impossible , we went on living when changes were thrown at us ever day. It is those changes that are in this book and that wi ll refl ect who we are for the rest of our lives. I hope you enjoyed! · l:,/;.1or-in.dri.O. g,,,,,,,,,J,,, 7lowro / Stu ents continue to 198 'Division Out with the_ OL ••••••••• •• • or t •••• uture Colophon The 82nd volume of the Monticello was printed be the Herff-Jones Publishing Company in Logan, Utah . the press run was 400 copies.

These impressions of the past year are captured in pictures that fill these pages. Every picture tells a story whether it was a winning touchdown, a big performance at a band competition, or just a group of friends who took time out at a dance to pose. As you turn the pages, you will remember memories that have left impressions on your life. Some of which were good and some were bad, but above all, they left an impression that will stay with you for the rest of your life. This book isn't just a bunch of stories and pictures thrown together, but a collection of memories that should be held dear..Some people say that once they are out of high school, they will not look back but those words will soon haunt them. Even though you might have had bad times in high school, the impressions have left their mark on you and they cannot be erased . So enjoy the book which is in front of you and don't forget the impressions that have made you who you are. Left.

These activities are what you do on the weekends and at school dances.This section is dedicated to you and your friends and all the impressions that have been made. The war left an impression on many students and teachers . In some way or another, everyone is affected by it whether you know someone overseas or are training to go overseas. What would school be without dances? Sure, barely anyone dances, but it's a great way to hang out with friends, pose for pictures, dress up, and listen to a variety of music. Some people can say the dances are fun while others say it's a waste of time, either way they left an impression. One dance that stands out in everyone's mind is Prom. This is the dance everyone looks forward to, even students who hate dances. Students spend hundreds of dollars to look their best and enjoy a night on the town. Senior Honor Day and Graduation follow soon after Prom. Honor Day is a day filled with speaker upon speaker, honoring the seniors for their hard work and dedication. Graduation may be the most anticipated event of the year. Left.

However, this pair of seniors decided to spend their summer differently; at boot camp. Seniors Nate Jastorff and Brandie Bittenbender spent their summer in Fort Jackson , South Carolina. " You don't rea lly notice how much you have unti l it's taken from you and you are nothing," Jastorff said. This pair spent the summer training and becoming all they could be. They learned many things such as self-defe nse, discipline and respect for others and themselves . Jastorff spent his first few days adjusti ng to the change , 6 Student Life such as limited sleep, and using the phone just three times for a time span of three months. Being alone with no one you know is harder than anyone can imagine. "I wasn 't home sick, I didn't miss much of anything ," Bittenbender said . Bittenbender saw this experience in a different way than Jastorff. "At first I doubted myself, thinking I wouldn't be able to make it through, but after a few weeks it wasn't that hard for me , anyone can do it ," Bittenbender said. Her first few days were spent sleeping, "I just couldn't stay awake, I tried so hard but I couldn't," she said. "I've wanted to be in the army sirce I was in the 8th grade. My mom and dad were both in the army and quit. I wanted to show them I could do it." Jastorff at first didn 't really know why he was going . "I didn 't know why I decided to do this at first, but when it was done, I knew I had done something right, I felt good, " he said . These two plan on staying a part of the army. "I will stay a reserve for six years , but I do not plan on being active until later on, " Bittenbender said . Jastorff has other plans . "I'm going on active duty for four years right after high school, I'm going to Virginia and could possibly be moved to Afghanistan. I want to use the money to go to college , get a business degree and then I want to live my life!" Facing Page.

These aren't the normal sounds of a home, but to a soldier they are . Since the war in Iraq broke out, many soldiers have had a new place they call home. It could be Afghanistan , Iraq or even a boot camp here in the states. Everyone has been affected by the so ldi ers deployment ; fam il y, friends, and even coworkers. Junior Nick Gunzenhauser has a family member overseas. "My dad is in the National Guard and was dep loyed to Afghanistan. His main job over there is to make sure the people have what th ey need. This isn't his first time over there," he said . Fathers aren 't the only 8 Student life family members overseas, but also boyfriends and cousins. "My fiance (Mike Chanley) is overseas and also my friend It was (Mike Johnston) . shocking to hear he was being deployed . Not just someone that I loved was going away but also a friend ," senior Megan Pender said . "It hurts knowing that everyday you wake up , you aren 't going to see him." "My cousin is in the Marines and was deployed in February of this year. When I heard he was deployed , I was sad and proud at the same time," senior Cory Leslie said. "I was sad because I didn 't want anything bad to happen to him and I was proud because someone in my family fighting for our country." Many people support the army in many different ways; give money, wear patriotic clothing , and even have the yellow ribbon stickers on their cars . Even though they support the army, it doesn 't mean they would join. "I am the last Leslie in my family so I can 't go over there and risk it," Leslie said . "Personally, I wouldn 't join the military just because of the things they say they will do or will help you with, never seems to work out for the better," Pender said . As the soldiers are overseas protecting the freedom of the people and are thousands of miles away, there will always be a place here that they can call home . Facing page.

Was there a noticeable change from this years homecoming week than in the past homecomings? Many students would say yes . There was no carnival , the football game was on a Thursday night, and there was a bonfire and powder puff football game on Sunday night to get the students in the mood for Homecoming Week. "I th ink there sho uld be a carn ival every other year that way the kids will want to come and they won't get bored with it," Deb Goodman said. This year the girls got to have a little game of their own . Ath letic Director Cyle Forney decided it would be better to keep the game with different grades from the 10 Student Life same school. "I liked playing in the game, I think it made everyone get in the mood for the week, and we got to show the boys that girls can play football too, " senior Abby Hunt said. Sometimes the girls had there own minds on things and they didn't want help from the boys. "I liked helping the girls out with the football game, but some of the girls had their own ideas on things and they didn't want to listen to us ," junior Jake Brown said. The school finally got to put the new bonfire pit to use. On Sunday night there was a bonfire to get everyone in the mood for the big week ahead of them, and to introduce the homecoming court. Homecoming week also had the traditional days like college day and twin day, and mix match day. Each student had his/her own favorite day. "I liked college day the best, because I got to wear a hat that day," senior Jon McMullen said . Overall , Homecoming week went well . It helped the student get ready for the big game on Thursday, and the only bad thing about having a game on a Thursday is everyone had to get up and go to school on Friday or they couldn 't go to th e dance on Saturday. "The only thing that I want to change for next year and that is to have the carnival back," Brown said. Facing page.

Homecoming Week 11 ~ Dance the night away If someone were to walk into the Homecoming dance, they probably would have asked themselves if it was Halloween instead of Homecoming. With the theme "J ukebox Jive," it allowed people to dress a little differently than any other Homecoming . "Jukebox Jive" was based on the fifties. A lot of people dressed according to the characters in the 1978 movie "Grease." Girls wore pood le skirts whi le guys wore tight jeans and t-shirts. "My friends and I dressed up like the T-Birds from 'Grease ,' which was reall y cool," junior Marc Colvin said. Many people enjoyed being able to dress so informally. t 2 Student life Having the theme what it was, there were many different outfits to choose to wear. Homecoming King, Dane Christensen said , "I thought it was really funny how everyone dressed up in different 50 's clothes. It wasn 't the best dance ever, but I still had a blast. " Radio station 94.1 provided the DJ for the dance, but didn't play 50's music at all, which disappointed some people . Nevertheless , it was still very enjoyable. 'There could have been at least some 50's music, but it was still a blast,'' sophomore Cambria Brannan said . The turnout of S'tudents that attended the dance wasn 't very high . Even with the people who did attend, not very many people danced. "I didn't like how barely anyone danced, but it was still fun, " sophomore Kristi Dow said . For the most part, the homecoming dance was a hit. Everyone seemed to enjoy almost everything about it. " I liked the dance all around. It was a really fun th eme and the outfits were totally groovy," junior Nicole Kramer said. Despite the fact that the music wasn 't what peopl e had expected , the outfits were great, the decorations were fabulous , and the excitement of the.whole night won 't be easy to forget.

Just Got Interesting Many different tasks are included in being a journalist. One must be able to look at things from any point of view and refrain from being biased . To start off the year the editors of the Hodgepodge/ Signal and the Monticello (yearbook) went to a conference at Midland Lutheran College called J-Day. The editors learned many things to help improve both publ ications. Then both staffs went to Sioux City for the Missouri River Conference Journalism Day that includ ed sessions on writing sty le , photography, different career opportunities, and others . "J-D ay was a real eye opener. I walked away with tons 14 Student life of great ideas and information," senior Brandy Pierson said. Besides just writing stories, taking pictures and interviewing, the yearbook staff helped the school out. When the homecoming carnival was cancelled the staff stepped up and put their own on. Along with handing out yearbooks, there were games such as the bean bag toss, pie throwing, free throws and much more. "Businesses stepped up and helped us to put the carnival on. Without them, it would have been a struggle to have it, " Pierson said. Altogether about $1,000 was raised to help out with the yearbook. The Hodgepodge/Signal staff had a busy year with a total of eight issues. The only thing people see is the final result of all the hard work of both staffs. Being on either one of the staffs isn't so easy afterall. There are constant deadlines for publications to get done. It is similar to having a job; when things don't get done, worknights are in order. Staying late after school to finish things is a routine for both staffs . Work got very frustrating and difficult at times , but sticking together and working as a team helped both the Hodgepodge/ Signal and the Monticello staff to complete the tasks they were meant to do.

The Snoball theme "Winter Wonderland" only stood for the theme itself, it did not feel like winter at all, not one flake of snow. It was the nicest day of the winter season all year with the weather holding at 50 degrees and sunny. Snoball was held on December 11 , from 7:30 p.m . till 10:30 p.m. The theme "Winter Wonderland " was beautifully decorated thanks to Mark and Lori Neill and the help of Student Council. "I loved the decorations , they were pretty and looked like they took a long time to do ," freshman Alyssa Rae said . Student Council was up at 8:00 a.m decorating for this ritual 16 Student Life held here every year. "I didn't like waking up at 8 a.m but decorating was fun and I really liked the turnout," freshman Liz Daniels said . The decorations were obviously a big part of the dance but what about the DJ? Most students were not very happy about the way the DJ presented his music. ''The DJ was a lot better at Homecoming, you couldn't really hear the music or when they announced court because the speaker system was all messed up," sophomore Phillip Lanegan said. Besides the dance , most couples enjoyed QOing out to eat with their friends and enjoying a time that only comes a few times each year. "We went to Perkins before the dance because we didn't make reservations, and the line was so long in Applebee's but my friends and I had a blast and probably had more fun there than we would of atApplebee's," junior Amanda Pierce said . Going out to eat before the dance and hanging out with friends afterwards is probably better than attending the dance all together. A lot of people were not very satisfied with the dance. All in all, the dance did not have a very good turnout, but students still enjoyed the dance and found some ways to make their nights worth while . Facing page.

Some students highlight their hair or they get piercings, but a more drastic change is getting a tattoo. Many students decide to get tattoos in their younger years because they want to be wild and crazy. In high school students tend to rebel against their parents and get a tattoo even though their parents sa y no . But , many parents see no problem with their children having a tattoo. Some students get tattoos of their favorite ban ds, flowers , cartoon chara cters , etc . "My tattoo is a star because they're my favorite," sophomore Curtis 18 Student Life Moreno said . Sophomore Rikki Wright has Tinkerbell on her shoulder blade. Depending on the size of the tattoo, or how difficult it was to draw, the prices vary. "My soccer ball on my lower back cost $100," sophomore Rebbecca Scislowicz said . Sometimes by knowing a lot of people you can get a bargain. "I didn't have to pay a dime, it was free," sophomore Jessica Ziegler said. As many people know tattoos aren't the easiest thing to get. Some students agree that tattoos are painful, yet many others disagree. It just depends on that person ' s ~pain tolerance. Senior Emili Bockert said, "My tattoo hurt!" Along with many others, sophomore Jessica Ziegler adds that her tattoo was far from painful. Some people have several tattoos. Senior Justin Peck has four tattoos on both of his arms, his calf, and also on his shoulder blade. In this new era it is a trend to have many tattoos on young teens bodies. Year by year trends in the world change and different styles fade away, but getting a tattoo will permanently stay wi th students . Think about the future , will business' want employees with tattoos or will these tattoos influence the next generation of kids? Facing page .

Tattoos 19 ..... so long TWIRP Tradition is no more. For the first time since the TWIRP dance was started in 1963, the dance was cancelled. Due to a lack of ticket sales , the school had no other choice but to call the dance off. The estimated total amount of tickets sold was between 4050 out of approxi mately 1,180 students. "It's a shame that a tradition got cancelled, but females are cheap. The mea ning of TWIRP is 'the woman is required to pay' and the girls didn't buy tickets," senior Nick Barth said . There were ma ny ru mors as to why the dance was cancelled. Some said it was t he cheerleaders' fau lt, because they were organizing the dance. Others said it isn't a big dance 20 Student Life like the others , so no one really cares to go. "I never went to TWIRP because I heard from people that it is the worst dance of the year, " sophomore Desiree Johnson said . Whatever the reason was , the cancellation of the dance didn 't bother most students. TWIRP court was never announced , because over half of the students on court had some type of fine , and wouldn 't have been able to purchase a ticket without paying their fine first. Many students did complain about not liking the Hawaiian theme. It was either 'too boring ' or 'already has been a theme for a dance.' "I didn't care if the dance was cancelled , because I didn 't like the theme ," sophomore Andrew Boutin said. Many other school activities were going on the same day of the dance . Some had Show Choir concerts, others had the state bowling tournament and this affected the students ability to go. "I really wasn 't planning on going, because I had st ate bowling that day, so it didn 't bother me that it was cancelled ," junior Katie Beaver said . TWIR P mi g ht never ex ist again , but in the end , nobody complained too much about the dance being cancelled . It ended up saving the school a lot of time a nd money and no one can complain about that! Facing page.

TWIRP 21 ~ New Teen Hangouts Before all of the new, fancier buildings were added to Council Bluffs and Omaha , teenagers were undecided on what to do during the weekends. Now teens have options to fill up their days. The communities gained the Star Cinema, Qwest Center and the Mid America Center. Some students believe that having more things to do on the weekends cou ld keep teenagers out of trouble. The Star Cinema was a hit right awa y, more up to date, newer movie selections and a cleaner faci lity. "The Star Cinema keeps people happy with all of the selections and it gives my friends and I somewhere to hangout," sophomore Norma Castillo said. Last year Council Bluffs was talking about getting a water park. Many students say that it would be great to get the park because they wouldn 't have to go far for vacation, but others say that the park would be pointless because there is one so close to them in Kansas City. "I think they should build the park but after a while it will get boring ," junior Jake Brown said . Now that the Mid America Center has been built it gives people the cbance to experience in tense hockey games and jamming concerts . "The Mid-America Center provides us with more excitement and something to actually look forward to during the week ," Castillo sa id. The Qwest Center was just another masterpiece after it was built. "The Qwest Center has brought many good things to Omaha and give s teens a chance to experience what the big cities are like, since we live in such a little town, " junior Jalayna Franks said . These attractions made th e communities more enterta ining and gave people more options. These new places have made teens able to be more open minded when it comes to something different. 22 Student life .... Facing page.

It's finishing 13 years of schooling to receive a piece of paper and a hand shake . But it's more than just that. It's a moment for memories, friendship , the end of homework, and the start of college . Graduating is the end of one chapter of life and the beginning of many, more. Time and time again students said how they couldn 't wait to leave high school . However, with in a tw o hour period many sen iors were crying because they didn't want to leave the friendships and teachers behind. Now the seniors take what they have learned throughout school and apply it to the world 32 Student life around them . These seniors now get their opportunity to make an impact on people just as their teachers and friends have done for them. The 81 st class graduated at 7:00 PM on Sunday, May 22, 2005. The commencement was held at the Mid-America Center for the third year. The co-valedictorians were John Crummer and Elizabeth Oswald . Salutatorian was Shelly Rutz and the moderator was Christina Childers. The symposium speaker was Brandy Pierson . great to " It was congratulate everyone I have grown up with, " Pierson said. The class flower was the tiger lily, the class song was "Dare You to Move" by Switchfoot, and the class motto was "Dream what you dare to dream, go where you want to go, be who you want to be- Live ." Although this senior class was considered the 'guinea pigs' with all the higher requirements for validations , focus, credits and so on ; most seniors would agree that it was well worth the wait, time and effort. From September 11 freshman year to sophomore mock interviews, to getting your first car, to your senio r term paper, graduation finally came! It was a long bumpy road, but a road th at paid off in the end . Congratulations seniors! Facing page.

AthletA' I nlPressions By Brandy Pierson How can high school be high school without sports? Impressions are made at every sporting event. These lasting impressions might be the winning touchdown at the last home game or the first homerun at a softball game. These impressions will always stick with us. Not only the extraordinary events that happen at games or meets leave memories but also the coaches. The coaches teach us not only to be better athletes, but better people. They push us to our limits, make us show our weaknesses so we can defeat them, and strive for excellence. Their motivation will stay with us throughout our lives and we will hold their advice dear throughout our days. Coaches push you to make you better, but your teammates do too. They cheer you on and help you improve. Your teammates become your friends, then that friendship grows and becomes a strong bond. Sports bring so many people together, even if they are complete opposites , they become friends. On the court, field, or mat, these teammates will always encourage you. Some people may say sports are overrated but they do actually serve a good purpose. They help students improve their ability to handle stress and all the twists and turns life may throw at them .

Summer Improvement by Cory Green Although the year was somewhat disappointing the team showed improvment. Above. Graduate Sarah Walck pops up out of her catcher's stance to throw down to second base . Photo by Brandy Pierson. Right. Junior Alisha Kuhl awaits the pitch during the A.L. game . Photo by Brandy Pierson . The softball team had a somewhat disappointing year as they went 12-17 and weren't able to compete in their conferen ce. "The yea r didn 't go as well as we hoped. We lost a lot of close games and we didn't have a lot of momentum at the beginning of the year," coach Kelly Duffek said . The team lost three , two-run games and five , one-run games. They had a lot of close games but they just couldn 't pull them out at the end . The close losses were quite a disappointment, but the team learned from each one . They figured out that they needed to play a full seven inni ngs and play them well. Although they didn't win many games, there were good things from the pitching department. Junior Ashtyn Neill was a huge part of the team, pitching her first year of varsity very well, with an ERA of 2.32 . Neill also improvemed at the plate. With her hard work in the off season , she improved so much and helped the team in many ways. "I improved from never pitching a varsity game to pitching a majority of them ," Neill said. "My hitting improved also. " Graduate Sarah Walck will be a big loss to the team. Along with all of Walck's achievments, she was also named the Council Bluffs Softba ll Player of the Ye ar. Walck hit an amazing .461 with six home runs , breaking the school record. Graduate Sarah Martin added to the team by hitting th e first home run of her career. The other graduates showed a lot of leadership and contributed a strong drive. Without the graduates, the team will be looking for underclassmen to fill the empty positions. Next season there will be a lot to look forward to in filling up these open Far Left. Junior Ashtyn Neill delivers the ball to home plate . Ph o to b y Brand y Pierson. Left.

"Walck has definitely been a main contributor to softball the past five years and the team is going to miss her leadership. How we do without her or the other seniors will be determined on how hard we work in the off season. I will be looking for some girls to take on more responsibility, " Duffek said. Junior Jessica Kannedy is willing to take the challenge of becoming the next catcher. "I am going to work hard in the off season so I can help the team out," Kannedy said . All of the juniors are going to have to step up to fill the shoes of the seniors . The team does have some positives, they had quite a few girls make all city. They included Neill, Walck, junior Valerie Robinson , ju nior Alisha Kuhl , and Martin. They aslo had a very solid middle infield with Robinson at shortstop and Kuhl at second base. The tea m lost a lot of good players and leadership. It will be hard to replace them but it is possible . Robinson and Neill are both good leaders. They know when to step it up. Not only are they good leaders because of what they say, but they also lead by their actions. Above.

Th ey had a great season opener blowing away Shenendoah 8-2, with an easy walk away win . Graduate Shane Hollenbach led the Jackets on the mound. Another graduate, Brian James, and juniors Kai and Kyle Bartholomew were just a few of the "big hitters" that led the team. The upside to the season was beating Harlan every time they played them. "Losing 22 games was a definite heart breaker for the team, " senior Derek Kessler said . "We had a nine game losing streak before picking up another victory against Harlan ." The team had a few other great games including the game against Denison winning 2-1 in a hard fought game going all the way to the ninth inning . They had a complete blowout of the Atlantic baseball team 13-4. They also had three games with crosstown rival A.L. The first of their th'ree games was a close call but resulted in a 5-4 loss, going all the way to the ninth inning . The other two games were not as close coming out with T.J. on the losing end 7-2 and 5-2. Losing some of the key players from the last years team was a hard thing to try and overcome . Graduates Aaron McFa rland , Dustin Griffith, Scott Mcintosh , Levi Kannedy, Kyle Webster, Matt Naylor, and Nick Heide r were some of the big players from the previous year.

" Character was a very good theme for the baseball team ," head coach Todd Barnett said . Barnett emphasized that the important thing over the season was that the players had fun and pulled together as a team when they needed the strength to keep going through the hard times. Though it will be the last year for head coach Barnett, the team looks forward to improving next year. Former Tri-Center coach will be the new coach in the 2005 season. ''This year 's team was a very close team. No one was excluded fro m any activities and the seniors also made sure th at everyone had a good time ," Barnett said . "They had fun and became better friends and that's all that counts. " At th e end of the season, the players felt that they had a good season of play, but felt as if they really didn 't try as hard as they could have . Finishing the season with a losing record is never fun , but is a learning experience on what not to do," added Barnett. Front row: (from left) Kyle Bartholomew, Rafael Garcia , Kai Bartholomew.

The team had a tough time finding those first points yet were able to muster up some courage and take some chances to score in the third game . Though making their first score in the third game of the season , the game still ended in a loss, Des Moines Roosevelt 42-28 . "One of the reasons I think we didn't do as well as we could was that, some of the kids were intimidated to start on varsity, those Friday night lights can get very bright," head coach Dan Strutzenberg sa id . "After the first two losses, the players had learned what it takes to score , and you could tell what that we got better every game," Strutzenberg said . The team had more penalties than norma l this year. But, so did the teams . they played so it balanced out. Also , they will be losing some very key players this year. Next year almost all spots are up for grabs. " We run a very wide and open offense, " Strutzenberg said . "One of the big concerns this year was the offensive and defensive lines. Arguably losing the best lines we 've ever had last year, it was hard to replace them but we did it," senior Joe Anderson said . Anderson said , "I th ink we played more as a team this year than any Far left. Senior Dere k Townsend awaits the snap . Photo co urtes y of Don Robinson . Left. Senior AJ Dennis makes a key block.

After a five game losing streak the Jackets went on a winning spree rolling over Sioux City North , East and West. Combining the score they outscored their opponents 108-80. At the end of the year the stats didn 't look too hot for the team . The team rushed for only 1,915 yards and 20 touchdowns, and passed for only 685 yards , and only six touchdowns . The usual leading rusher over the last four years is Senior James Smith , but actually, the leading rusher this year was Senior Derek Townsend. Though Smith was out one game, he had more attempts but, Townsend ended the season with 966 yards rushing and Sm ith ended with 836 . The equalizer? Smith rushed for 12 td 's and Townsend with eight. Senior Mike Neville led the receiving with 16 completions worth 371 yards . That averages out to about 23.19 yards per catch, and three for touchdowns . Freshmen Photo.

The volleyball team had a tough year, but with everyone pulling their weight they ended with a better season than years past, going 14-23. With a younger team than usual , the girls had a lot of work to do to show that they could replace some very talented seniors from the previous year. Another challenge the team would have to overcome was adjusting to a new coach. This also meant new expectations and standards . Being their fourth new coach in four years, Holly Demarque had her work cut out for her. Having lost many seniors , and such a young team to work w ith , this season would be a challenge. Though it would be a hard season , coach Demarque kept a relaxed and casual attitude with the team . "I thought the season was really fun this year. Holly joked around with us like she was one of us ," junior Jenny Shadden said . To start out the season coach Demarque had the girls focus more on setting and serving than anything else. To get the players in shape , they would have to run , and play intra-squad scrimmages. Yet serving and setting would not be th e only thing the girls would have to work on . In the beginning , the girls had a tough time with team unity. Coach Demarque tried to improve this by gathering the players together at the end of practices for a small pep-talk and breakdown . Coach Demarque told the girls many times th at they were one team , not six girls. Demarq ue's expectations were like any other Left.

She expected the players to always work their ha rdest , come prepared for practice and to be willing to try new things. At first the girls were a little apprehensive about having a new coa ch and getting used to new standards . But the players soon adjusted to coach Demarque's style of coaching and improved their team work. The team did great in serving and setting the ball. However, their serve reception and defense were a couple of their wea knesses. But according to coach Demarque, as the season went on, the players improved their defense. "Th is year's best game was Sioux City West," Demarque said . The team was down 0-2 · and ca me back to win in five . With such a young team , the girls did a lot better than anticipated. For their last game the players dressed in the colors of the opposing team the day before . This was a strategy to keep the players focused on their upcom ing game with Abraham Lincoln , the schoo l's long time rival. All in all the season was a good one . Accordi ng to coach Demarque , throughout the season , the team improved and accomplished their goals. "All of the gi rls contributed, " coach Demarque said. Above.

Running miles upon miles, all summer long , sounds fun doesn 't it? Not unless you 're on the cross country team. The team trained hard all summer running through neighborhoods, down streets , and on the track. Junior Brittany May said , "We trained all summer by either running sometimes by ourselves or in groups." Running wasn't the only training the team endured but also weight training. Some of the girls lifted all summer to stay in shape and strong to handle the long distance . "Besides running , I lifted and worked out all summer," junior Katie Mann said. The team 's hard work paid off because they had the best times ever since coach Doug Muehlig became head coach . "In my 20 years of coaching , this has been the best team ever. We had a large turnout of girls and we set school records," Muehlig said. Junior Alyssa Hedrick was the leader setting a new school record of ranking 14th place at the Missouri River Conference . "Alyssa is a great runner. She's up there in my list of best runners I've ever coach ed ," Muehlig said . A highlight for the team was ranking thi rd out of 16 at th e Southern Cal Meet. "It was a pleasant surprise for us to place thi rd . We had to reschedule our meet due to Homecoming being on a Thursda y," Muehlig sa id. Another highlight of the season was the turnout of girls.

"We had a few girls come from different sports . (Sophomore) Kiersten Ruff switched from volleyball to cross country and after a few meets, she was moved to varsity. She contributed a lot to the team, " Muehlig said . Other runners that contributed to the team were sophomore Cha ris Oswald , juniors Jenny Neu, Sarah King, Mann, May, and senior Lindsie Beranek. Muehlig wasn 't only proud of the team for their hard work , improvements, and dedication but also their GPA as a team. "We had the highest team GPA since I started coaching . The team had a GPA of 3.65 and that is impressive . They won an award from state because of it, " Muehlig said. As the girls pulled together as a team and ran to their fullest potentia l, they improved more and became a better team . "The past two years have been the best teams ever. They are all great," Muehlig said . Above. Coach Mike Muehlig talks to senior Lindsie Beranek about her accomplishments during the season. Photo by Matt Clark. Top.

Running is one of the biggest challenges to do when one has nothing left, but when one finishes the rate , it can be a great feeling, or it could be the worst feeling of their life. That is, if one ran their guts out. "The best feeling as a coach is when you know someone ran their guts out," coach Doug Muehlig said. Junior Chris Tamayo had an excellent year. He was only eight spots away from making it to the state meet at Fort Dodge. He also tied a few records , including the record for the most Top 20 finishes and Top 25 finishes . He was also one of the great leaders of the team . "This year was a lot of fun . I ended up being a big help to the team and I liked being ranked seventh in Southwest Iowa," Tamayo said . The team will only be losing one senior, Matt Nurton . He was one of the most influential leaders the team had. 'Believe' is the word from coach Muehlig . He likes his team to work hard , and if one does believe, he will let them know with tears , hugs, and head-butts. Muehlig was not the only one that kept the team in line, the team also had two very good assistant coaches that spent their spare time helping the team. The two coaches that assisted the team were Physical Education teacher John Kinsel and Math teacher Pat Nepple. Coach Nepple is looked up to by many of the runners on th e team along with coach Kinsel. Kinsel will be retiring after 31 years of teaching and coaching. He devoted a lot Left.

After decades of being an excellent coach and teacher, he will be moving on to a great future. "I've reached the requirements to retire, I figure that I will be 55 in March and I'll have 10 good years to continue on with my lawn service in the fall, and next winter I will get some kind of job," Kinsel sa id . . The conference meet at Westfair was the best meet for the team. The team ranked second out of six teams, and they had two boys ma ke all-conference , Tamayo who placed fifth , and freshman Joe Rod riguez placed eighth . Junior Ole Olsen worked hard as he ran to place twelfth place . The team will be running in the summer to prepare for the next season . The team has come a long way in their journey to stardom . Next year will be a year to look forward to for the returning runners and new runners to fill the empty voids . Above. Junior Ole Olson looks into the camera as he ru ns at the Lewis Centra l meet.

For some it is always about winning , but for the girls basketball team it was about more than that. Yeah, just like every other team winning is always good , but for these girls it was about improving. Throughout the season the girls looked to improve and learn one anothers strengths and weaknesses . In November the team traveled to camp Okoboji, where they learned how important team unity and closeness are. At Okoboji they met several challenges, not only as team but also as individuals. There were many team challenges where the whole team had to cooperate or the whole thing was ruined . If one person was off the whole team ~s~ . "The season was a lot of fun because everyone was so close and we didn't have the drama that most girls have when they spend a lot of time together, " junior Marjory Christensen said. The unity is really what kept them going . At the beginning of the season junior Allysa Hedrick went out with a broken hand, and half way through the season senior Jenny Pettit broke her foot and was not be able to participate the rest of th e season . Losing those two players knocked the varsity squad to only eight players . After that, the other girls really came together. They had to adjust to the changes and not let the frustration show. The team started the season off with a win but struggled from there . Their Left. Sophomore Jennifer Swotek fights for a loose ball against Sioux City Heelan. Photo by S arah Fredrickson. Below 1.

At one point in the season they lost three close games to very good teams , including a loss in overtime at Sioux City Heelan . At the start of the season they had a hard time putting together a fu ll 32-minute game. They always came out flat in the first half and dug themselves a whole . As the season progressed they started being able to pull out a whole game . When the team came out fired up, they really showed the opponents what they were capable of. The record was not the best, but no one could challenge how much heart the girls had . Not many teams could dig themselves out of a 20 point deficit, but this was a team that could. There wasn't a fairy tale ending in the eyes of most people. However, in th e eyes of the girls it was pretty close to being one. Playing there best ga me in second round of districts versus Lewis Central really made them proud. They stayed with them , and they believed they could play. Belief was the key word throughout the entire season . "I have high expectations for the returning players," said coach Nicole Vetter. Adding to that, junior Sarah King said that she thinks all of the ha rd work and dedication is going to show next year. Above.

They had a very talented group of juniors and seniors which helped them to their great record . The team also earned a first round bye in substate . It wasn 't all talent that won their games, they practiced hard for hours at a time everyday to improve their basketball skills . The team also did something that no team in the schools history did , they were once ranked 12th in Southwestern Iowa. The fans were very supportive all season . After the team beat Sioux City West in the first round of substate they traveled up to Sioux City to play Sioux City East. The fans were offered a free ride up to Sioux City and the fans were so supportive that they filled up two buses . The students tried their hardest to pump up the players but the team fell one win short of making it to Des Moines for the state tournament, losing to East 80-51 . The team will be returning three junior starters. The two key senior starters that they will be losing are Derek Townsend and James Smith, who were th e leaders on and off the court. During practice their work ethic was outstanding , during practice they wouldn 't be easy on their friend s, they would challenge thei r teammates to try and make them bette r. Townsend was a special player, he was the team's emotional leader. He made first team All City, All Confere nce, All Southwest Iowa for the World Herald, Left.

The three junior starters that will be returning are Tom Cannon , Sean Johnson and Ole Olsen . They contributed during the season and they were also leaders on the court. The great thing about the team this year was that no matter what, they always showed up ready to play. The team worked very hard in practice to have a very defensive minded team , and it defi nitely showed during games when their opponents didn 't put up a very high number of points. Their best win was probably against Sioux City Heelan on senior night when they beat them at T.J . by 13. The crowd was really into that game which got the players pumped up and led them to victory. The team had key wins against Lewis Central, Abraham Lincoln and St. Albert which earned them the city title. "Thanks to the student section for all of their support this year. I always liked the home games when we had our band, " Townsend said. Above . JV First row (from left): Colby Rueschenberg, Josh Kuhl , James Driver, Cory Gree n, Austin Stites.

Junior Levi Gates made it to the third match but fell short in the end getting beat in the second round. "I was very nervous going into my first match , but after that I got a bette r feeling of what it was like and all my nerves were gone, " Gates said. With all three wrestlers being underclassmen, they still have another chance of going back to state. As for seniors Dane Christensen and Jake McGlade it wa s their last chance for state . Though they did not make it to state they lead the team throughout the season. "Jake and Dane were good leaders throughout the season they were great role models for the younger guys, I was proud of them and they will be missed on the team, " coach Todd McGinnis said . Wrestling is a sport that takes mental and physical strength. Wrestlers not only have to have the strength to wrestle but also be smart about what they eat and how much they eat, so they don't make themselves weak by eating the wrong food s. Some wrestlers starve themselves and make themselves too weak to eve n wrestle in the meet. .. • • Far left. Junior Martin Rounds goes for the take down. Photo courtesy of www.tjsportsfan .com Left .

Photo courtesy of www.tjsportsfan .com "Some people think that if you just don't eat then you won 't gain weight, but I think that is the worst thing to do, you just make it harder on yourself," junior Martin Rounds said. On some days people would see wrestlers walking around in heavy clothing because they needed to drop a pound or two for the meet that night. Most wrestlers would do anything to drop pounds because they didn't want to let their team down. "I remember days when I walked around school spiting in a cup so I could make weight," Gates said . Unlike some teams T.J . didn 't have enough wrestlers out to fill up all the weight classes. "I think we did a good job considering th at most of the other teams we wrestled had five or more guys than we did, " McGinnis said. With most of the team returning next year they look to send more guys to state next year. "Hopefully we can get a few more kids up next year. Last year we sent two and this year we sent three ," McGinnis said. Above. Senior Dane Christensen get ready to pins his opponent. Photo by Sarah Fredrickson . Left.

Saying 00 The retirement of coach John Kinsel doesn't only affect his students but also the athletes who participate in lronman. Above.

How many sports are there that form around the participant's own pace and strength? Not many, but Iron man is just that sport. Iron man is a great sport for any athlete, who may compete in any other sport. Anyone can join and no one is better than anyone else because most of the competition is against yourself. "I have been in lronman for four years and I like lifting. This is a leisure activity. You can go when you want to and do what you want. You work and improve on your own, " senior Bryce Harris said . Senior Joe Anderson said , "I agree with Bryce , you build yourself up on your own but there is a lot of help from your friends ." One downside to lronman is the students who drop it. "We started this year with 30 and within a week many dropped it. I think I might have 20 or so still active ," Physical Education teacher, and lronman coach John Kinsel said . Harris said people should think before they do something because it's stupid ' to start something and not finish it. Anderson said , "It's an easy sport and it doesn 't take up a lot of time just dedication. We already had seven empty spots from the seniors last year leaving and we don 't need more empty spots ." Another downside to lronman was losing a great coach . Mr. Kinsel retired at the end of the year and this will have a great impact on lronman. "I feel sorry (for the students) next year because they won't have a great coach ," Harris said. Far Left. Senior Joe Anderson does his firs t squat while senior Bryce Harris spots him .

Anderson said, "It's going to be bad because they are going to lose a great coach. lronman just wont be the same without Kinsel." Mr. Kinsel said, "I'm sad because when you've been some place for 32 years, you get attached to the people and you will miss them. " So if there is no Mr. Kinsel to coach lronman, who will replace him? Rumor has it that Assistant Football coach Tom Watts will step up and take Kinsel's place . "I had Watts for football for three years and he's an okay guy. I just can 't picture him or anyone else taking Kinsel's spot. When you think about lronman, you picture Kinsel, " Anderson said . An upside to Iron man was the meets. Senior Jeff Schanuth broke a school record in dead lift. "We were all really excited and proud of Jeff when he broke the record . It was my first meet of the year and there were a lot of kids from different schools breaking their school records too," Anderson said . It doesn't matter if one is an athlete or not, lifting teaches one strength , physically and mentally. A bove.

That is what th e cheerleading squad went through . Starting off the year on the wrong foot with th e old cheerleading coach, Stacy Hill , led the Jacket cheer squad to their second year of a new sponsor. Many of the cheerleaders were a lot more happy with a more dedicated , organized coach , Nikki Mcintosh . "When we had Stacy it was bad and unorganized , but now that we have Nikki, it's organized and a lot more fun! " freshman Chelsey Stotts said . Throughout the transformation of a new coach , the cheer team gradually came together. The cheerleaders were not use to having someone there to guide them, and give them boundaries, but somehow Mcintosh pulled a great team out of the little time she had . "I think it was a smooth transition for all of us. It wasn 't as difficult as I though t it would be , coming in 1/2 way through the year. The cheerleaders responde d very nicely to a new sponsor and have proven to be hard workers and dedicated to making cheerleading a fun and rewarding experience, " she said. Overall the girls were a lot happier with the way things turned out. The team itself improved and came together. After they accomplished that, th ey tried and succeeded in making themselves better cheerleaders, along with improving th eir ideas in promoting school spi rit.

The cheerleaders came up with ideas like buying candy, t-shirts, and colored bottles to throw in the crowd. More cheers to have the crowd yell back with was also another thing the girls worked on. The cheerleaders teamed up with the girls basketball team to put on a Hawaiian night at one of the girls and boys basketball games, including raffles , prizes , and also a hula hoop contest which was a great turnout. The fundraising that night was to help raise money for Jason Cooney's family, who lost their home in a fire . Cheerleading is a lot more than stunting and showing off their uniform , and the girls experienced the fun and hard work of what being a "real " cheerleader was. Although the girls are very good at stunting and improving their ability each day to do so, the girls have slowly faded out of stunting so much and working more on the enth usiasm of the crowd. The ch eer team found the real meaning of being cheerlead ers and came together better than anyone ever expected , and they say they owe it all to Nikki. Righ t.

It was a year of tough love, fun times, attitudes, meeting new teammates and hard work for the dance team . The year started out good for the team . They went to camp at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln during the summer. When they performed their dance at camp they were awarded with a bid to go to nationals. "Camp was really fun , we had a little trouble , but we all figured it out. I wa s excited when we got ready to perform our dance that we worked so hard on ," freshman Frankie Hughes said. When the school year started the dance team , like always , performed at football and basketball games with attitude and energy. " At first , before I go out and perform I'm scared but once I start to dance all of my fears just go away," sophomore Rikki Wright said. The dance team also had a tough year between learning new and hard er dances, new teammates that have to be taught everything , and having all of th e members of the dance squad act as a unified team . "Last year was a lot better, this year we fought a lot more and it gets in th e way of our dancing and becoming a team, " sophomore Michaela Hotz said . The year was a little easier and less stressful for most of the dance team because they already knew their sponsor, Lisa Fidone. They knew wh at she expected and tried hard to get it done . Left.

"Lisa and I have became so close these past two years. She's a great sponsor and I couldn't ask for more from her," junior Missy Booton said . A lot of the dance team members have said they enjoy the look on Fidone's face when they know they have nailed the routine and all their hard work has paid off. "I am proud of the girls all of the time. Sometimes they do things th at upset me, but I know I can count on most of them in the end . I have bonded a lot with the upperclassmen and those girls are the reason that I love sponsoring so much ," Fidone said . The dance team had their ups and downs, but through it all they still came together to do what they do best as squad ... dance. The dance team performed more hip hop and free dances than years past . "The girls have a different style than I do with music and moves. They were a big help this year when we needed stuff choreographed ," Fidone said . After all the drama and attitude the dance team had a pretty successful year . Above. Th e dancers perform at a football game and show the crowd what they have worked so hard on .

Backstroke: This is where the swim team started off with three new swimmers , all three had never swam before, at least on a team, which led coach Mike Hale to focus on the fundamentals. "I was practically teaching swim lessons the first few weeks, " Hale said . Junior foreign exchange student Firnas Boutrous, and sophomores Sean Sa hl and Matt Coziahr made up the team which joined Al's nine member team . Three was about the average number of swimmers T J has had in the past. "I really wish more people would come out for the team , it is such a good experience and you meet plenty of new people ," Sahl said. T J and AL have been combining teams for about 10 years and even though rivals unite as one they put out a good team. "At first I thought the AL swimmers were going to be mean , but they ended up being pretty nice and I made many new friend s," Boutrous said. The T J swimmers started out new but progressed quickly and improved times more and more each time they swam. Although there were no state qua lifie rs, the tea m got an academic award w ith the cumulative GPA of 3.5. It is a great achievement and well earned by the boys. Overall, the swim team is new and fresh each yea r. It is an opportunity to try new things , get involved and make new friends during the fall and winter seasons . Far Left.

"At first everybody was rusty, but we progressed more and more each practice and we ended up doing very well ," junior Brian Snodgrass said . The teams both made it to state, which is a great achievement. The girls ended up 6th in state and the boys finished 14th. "I enjoy bowling and especially this year when we went to state , [twas a great experience ," senior Raeshell Pauly said . Although the boys did not end up where they would have li ked they performed well and are reaching for more next season . 'This year we were a good team, but we will be even better next yea r. There are a few seniors leaving but we will have young ones to fill th eir shoes", sophomore Shawn St. John said. Both boys and girls did well this year and enjoyed the experience trem endously, and are ready for more next season . A bove. The T.J ./A.

With Drake Relays champion sophomore Tiffanie Synacek and other quality performers, th e next few years of the team will be something to look forward to. Synacek won the Drake Relays titl e with a high jump of 5'9" which was also a school record. She won every meet she was in, until state where she placed second. She also broke the school record for th e 200 at the state meet with a time of 26.61 . ''I'm really proud of Tiffanie , she did a great job and I just can't believe she did so well, we 've been making her jump shorte r and when it comes time to go big, she does," said head Coach Pat Nepple sa id. Synacek admitted her school record of 5'9" was intimidating. "It gets very scary at eye level. I attempted 5-8 at Lewis Central though, and I knew I had it, it was very close," Synacek sa id. ' Not only was Synacek surprised but coach Pat Nepple wa s as well . "She won at 5-7, which was the best and then she got 5-8 and 5-9 and that was great. It wasn't all about setting records, but what she did was unbelievable," said Nepple. To make practices fun the girls played games inside. One thing they did to have fun was scavenger hu nts.

The track team also had two seniors that were leaders and helped out a lot with the team. These two, Jean Carlson and Ellie Oswald , were great at keeping the team motivated and made sure everyone had fun . 'They are great kids, if you know them great, if you don't, you shou ld ," Nepple joked . The relay teams had a great season, as many earned medals at al l the meets. The hard practice everyday paid off and they earned numerous medals and honors.

Relays Hall of Fame, and coach John Kinsel finished hi s final year as a coach . "We are really going to miss coach Kinsel next year, he was a really big part of the success the boys track team has had," coach Doug Muehlig said . The squad consisted of 68 boys with dedication from all including the coaches. Seniors were positive leaders and set th e pace for the rest of the team . "We had outstanding people on the tea m this year that worked hard and it all paid off in the end ," Smith said . Smith broke his own 100 meter school record with a 10.29 at the Missouri River Conference track meet held in Sioux City. Following that, Smith broke the 200 meter the same day with a 21 .19. He wasn 't the only breaking record s for the squad , Mike Neville tied Jhe high jump record at 5'1 O", Bri an Clark breaking the freshman high jump record with 5'1O", and the 4x100 team consisting of, Smith , junior Mike Moore , junior Marty Rounds , and senior Cory Lesl ie broke the record with a 43.29. It was an awesome season for the boys and a lot of compliments were given out to the well -rounded squad, not only for the ir great ability, but for the character they show. "After many track meets, other coaches would come up to us and tell us how classy our grou p of boys are, how appreciative they are for them helping out with the meet, and how each individual boy has shown such great character.

Smith led the team in the 100 meter and the 200 meter, Mike Neville at high jump, Chris Tamayo in the 1600 meters, Rounds in the 110 high hurdles, Jeff Schanuth throwing the shot put, and the 4x100 team all headed to Des Moines. "We had a variety of boys going this year and it was nice to see different people there this time ," Tamayo said . It wasn 't the best at state, but the guys put as much as they could into the meet. Smith finished 4th in the 100, and 5th in the 200 , Round s finished 3rd in the 110 meter highs, Schanuth got 24th place in the shot put, 4x100 team ending at 14th, Tamayo was 15th in the 1600, and Mike Neville was 15th with a 5'10" jump. "It was a wonderful season for the team , although we are losing great leaders this year, I have faith that the team will remain well with the upcoming boys next season ," Muehlig said.

Sports usually are physical and fast paced but one sport that is calm , at one's own pace and relaxing is golf. Th e boys on the golf team know th at fi rst hand . "It's fun to go out there and play with my friends . Plus I get to golf for free ," sophomore Cory Green said . The boys started the season well by placing fourth out of 20 teams in th e Abraham Lincoln-Tee Jay Invite. "I did well this year. We performed good as a team, " senior Jake Bridge said . Not only did they place highly, they al so achieved a new school record. "We have had the best season in Tee Jay history. Everyone 's proud of it, " Bridge said . So how did they do so well and make history? The turnout of the players would be the answer. Many young new faces were placed in the lineup. "We had a lot of younger classmen join and varsity consisted of seniors, " Bridge said. The boys played at 15 meets throughout the season and raked in some ' wins . With so many meets, all the boys learned and improved more after each one. The only downfall to the season was some of the seniors not returning. Coach Wayne Mains said he was disappointed in not seeing some se niors return either due to work or injuries but was overall happy about the season . Mr. Main s also said he was very proud of the seniors who did return as well as the other retu rn ing members and new fa ces. So if anyone is looking to join a sport that's not too physical, is relaxi ng and fun , as well as being able to hang out with friends all afternoon and play at their own pace, then golf is just the sport.

Many people believe that golf is a completely boring and easy sport but golfers disagree. Golf takes much coordination and skill. Golfers take time to learn techniques for hitting the ball long distances and putting . With all of the time put into golfing and the practice they have had , the girl's golf team has earned what they've wanted . "This year has been the best because we are 11-0," sophomore Sarah Paulsen said. The girl 's golf team had one its most successful seasons in history, winning a majority of the events they were entered in. Many new faces joined the golf team this year and helped the team to victory. The team received many awards and medals. "This season we added one freshman , who made varsity, one sophomore and two new juniors," Paulsen added. The season started off very well and many golfers made a big improvement. "Th ere really isn't just one most improved golfer but a couple , Kiersten Ruff and Jessica White, " assistant Kelly Duffek said . There are millions of great golfers in the world and many attend Thomas Jefferson. The top 5 golfers were : #1 Ashtyn Neill , #2 Sarah Paulsen , #3 Jessica Wh ite, #4 Kiersten Ruff, and #5 Allison Chadwick . The girl's golf team said they wouldn't change anything about the season or the way they practiced except they wanted more people to recognize th em fo r their accomplishments.

Photo by Devin Schoening. The girl's tennis team struggled at the beginning of the season but they improved as the year went on . "The season started off pretty bad , but it got better," sophomore Brittany Hiers said . The season was not all about wins and losses, a lot of girls go out for tennis to spend time with friends and have a good time . The girls are treated very well and they have fun meeting new people . "I became friends with everybody, and everyone was real nice," sophomore Cambria Brannan said. Hiers did well for the team . She got first in the city tournament and she also got first in the conference meet. She was also a good leader as a sophomore, she played in the team 's number two spot, and she still has two more years of tennis to ' shine . The team was very lucky to have a young athlete such as her. "It was fun getting first in city and conference ," Hiers said. The team performed well considering they were mainly juniors and sophomores, but they are hoping to do better next year after getting some experience under th ei r belts. Junior Barb Lambirth played in the number one spot. She was a very talented tennis player, and a very good leader, and she is very anxious to start playing next year. She was in her third year of playing tennis , and she came a long way to earn the team 's number one spot. The tough part of the year was getting the young girls and fi rst year players Left .

"The biggest issue with the team was that we didn't have any seniors, and getting the young girls started was tough ," Conner said . Both Lambirth and Hiers were big contributors to the team. Freshman Chelsey Stotts was also a key contributor to the team , as she was thrown into the fire as a first year player and she was able to handle th e heat. Stotts played in the number six spot for the team and did very we ll for the team. "Number one and two, Barb and Brittany, both came a long way. Freshr --·· '-II ' I Braces, glasses, and contacts oh my. The cost to have the perfect vision and teeth can be very high, and thousands of dollars and millions of hours go into the making. Perfection doesn't always come easy but in today's society all types of people are undergoing dramatic changes to look their best. Almost every student in school has had braces , contacts, and/or glasses. Walking through the halls at school, countless students have braces or at least one can tell who has had them and who has not. The cost of having braces ranges anywhere from $2,000 up. "I've had braces twice, so that's almost seven thousand dollars," senior Nick Bigner said. Most students go to the orthodontist when they are between 13 and 14 years old to find out if they need braces. Some students are fortunate enough to get them at even a younger age, but others have to wait until they are older. The time involved with braces seems like forever. Depending on how bad your teeth are affects how long one must wear braces . Some are lucky and have to wear retainers for a short period of time but others have to cope with the pain of having them for at least a year or two. No matter how long the braces are worn , the end is the best. "When I got my braces off I felt super fantastic!" senior Natalie Godsey said. Eager students await the day they go to the eye doctor to find out if th ey need glasses. Usually the students need to wear glasses for a while to get used to them.

Contacts can be worn for days or even weeks at a time, plus they are almost impossible to feel. "They (contacts) are really comfortable and I never have to take them out, unlike glasses," Godsey said. Slowly, glasses have been over-ridden by contacts as time goes by. The convenience of wearing contacts is endless , no more cleaning the glasses, and in some cases, no more getting made fun of. Contacts can change students lives by making them look totally different. A lot of students need glasses to read while others need glasses all of the time in order to see . Most students would agree that wearing contacts is a little easier than wearing glasses . "I would much rather wear contacts than glasses, plus they go along with my perfect teeth ," Bigner said . Glasses can also be costly to use. Frames usually run anywhere from one hundred to four hundred dollars. Some of this could be covered by insurance, but some must pay it straight from their pocket. Most teens grow up used to seeing braces , glasses , and contacts. Multiple students have had both glasses and braces , having the best of both worlds . Whether it's braces, contacts, or glasses , the costs and time are always an issue but in the end , the final portrait is worth remembering . Left.

Freshmen go along the same type of journey as Dorothy and Toto. Responsibility, credits and validations oh my! Sound a little like the "Wizard of Oz"? Dorothy and Toto go from little Kansas to the great and powerful Oz, just as all freshmen do every year, traveling from little junior high to great and powerful high school. "I was scared of getting lost," freshman Zach Mendoza said, "the halls are so big. " Aside from the 'yellow brick road ' or the confusing halls of high school, there are many other challenges. "The responsibility is overwhelming, " Mendoza said . Along their journey, it is possible to meet a scarecrow, tin man, or cowardly lion . The scarecrow could be a new friend. The tin man, an upperclassmen, not having a heart for the underclassmen. Finally, th e cowardly lion, being the teacher that you hear about being so mean, but are nicer than a teddy bear. "The upperclassmen and rumors about teachers scared me the most," senior Ashley Huss said , "I didn't want to get stuffed in a locker or get a referral from a teacher." Along with the different challenges and decisions of which 'road' or hall to take, some good can come of the journey. "At Wilson we only had a three minute passing time ," freshman Jessica Madsen said, "I'm so happy that we get five minutes now." There are many other benefits to high school besides passing time.

In junior high, everyone was on a 'team'. Teams continued into the freshmen year but much more freedom was allowed to leave the halls as you went to other classes. "I liked being able to interact with other people in school beside just freshmen ," Huss said . "At Wilson everything was really close together and there was always a teacher with us." More freedom for students seems to be the biggest and most appreciated change. "I get more freedom not only from teachers but from my parents also," Madsen said . After school activities , whether they are a participant or not always seem to please incoming freshmen. "The football games are so fun," Mendoza said, "I get to hang out with my friends and cheer on the teams to. " "The dances are much different than those at junior high ," Huss said "More people interact at the dances in high school. " More dedication , planing and overall involvement from students are many of the major differences. The unknown world of high school can be a big shock for many freshmen. Students should realize that they are not in Kansas anymore and there is no turn ing back. So they should enjoy the years that they have left of high school, because time flies . Left.

Some fears are small and petty while others seem larger than life. Any way you look at it, life will always be full of fears. What makes us have a fear of something? Is it the way something looks, sounds, or moves? There are many things people are afraid of, it can be anything from snakes, to bugs, or even math . There isn't a person in this world who can say they don't have at least one thing they are scared of. The most common fear is obviously death. Of course no one wants to die, but you can 't escape the inevitability that it's going to happen. "I would have to say my biggest fear would be dying, among other th ings," said sophomore Gina Wilson . Death wouldn 't be that scary if we kn ew how we were going to die and when. "If I knew I was going to pass away in my sleep in my 90's I would have no problem with it, " said Wilson. An other big fear by people is losing someone they love. Everyone can say they've lost someone near and dear to them whether it' s a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or even a pet. "I kind of have a small fea r of losing someone I love," said Wilson , "I've lost fam ily members before and it hurts but more or less I have a fear it's going to be someone very near to me someday." Everyone hates that odd feeling of kn owing someone you love isn't there anymore . No ones likes bei ng alone. In relationships , friend ships, or just having anyone at home helps. No one likes the feeling of knowing that no one is there fo r you , that you have no one to talk to about anything. So for some people it's the fear of being alone by yourself.

Everybody has that long ing to be wanted or needed , and fo r some people they are afraid of that feel ing. One of the most common fears among people is obviously small insects, snakes and spiders. "I would n't exactly say I'm scared of snakes or anything but when you just see them because you didn't see them comin g or hear th em , just the in itial shock of it," said senior Andy Flatt. Some people aren 't afraid of spiders or snakes beca use th ey just don 't like them, but it can turn into a major med ical prob lem such as an allerg ic rea ction or certain poison inside the insect. Some of the smallest insects such as the Daddy Long legs spider are the most poisonous but their fangs are not strong enoug h to penetrate the skin to inject the venom . Some people are scared of some movies and that's it. Not insects, or death or anything, just scary movies. Some movies people are scared of are the Exorcist, the Ring, and Nightmare of Elm Street. "The scariest movie I have ever seen is the Ring, I won't watch it alone," said Wilson. "The scariest movie I have ever watched was the Exorcist, but I was real little when I saw it," said Flatt. Everyone has some sort of fear. We all have our little flaws and fears that make us jump from the biggest to the smallest things out there. Left.

Here is a look at some students' good and bad views on this year's entertainment. There were a wide variety of opinions of what was hot and what was not in the entertainment world. In music, whether it was rock, hip-hop, punk, or country, there is always a new artist on the rise. For many girls, Ashlee Simpson was the hot, new singer. "I like the new Ashlee Simpson cd , because I like her style, " sophomore Ashton Belt said . Ma ny big movie fans probably spent some time at the new Star Cinema . For those into comedy movies, flicks like "Anchorman " or "Without A Paddle" were must sees. "'Anchorman ' was the best movie I saw this summer, because I like Will Farrell ," sophomore Colby Rueschenberg said . For those more interested in romance or tear jerker movies, one option to choose from was 'The Notebook." Some students really enjoyed the movie and went right to the library to check out th e book to read . For people who enjoyed movies that kept them in suspense and wanting more , they would have enjoyed "Wicker Park." It was the type of movie where people don't know for sure what is going on until at least the middle of the movie. Junior Josh Kuhl said, "I really enjoyed 'Wicker Park,' because it was suspenseful and very mysterious ." There were also bad movies of the summer. "'The Village' was a stupid movie and a total waste of money. I would of rathe r saw Princess Diaries 2," sophomore Ryan McCloud said . Another bad Marcia Minnieweather Christopher Minshall Seth Moffitt Sabrina Monta nez Michael Montgomery Justin Monzu Nicole Moore Heidi Moosmeier Jessica Morales Rona ld Morris Stefanie Mortensen Amanda Moscato Maria Munoz Rebecca Myers Yolanda Negrete Anthony Nelson Leshonda Nelson Taylor Neumann Austin Nordman Karena Nuno Reanna Nuno 116 Fresh men movie was "Open Water." It was supposed to be a better version of the 1975 movie "Jaws," but didn't live up to the hype. There were a lot of singers that starred in movies. Singer Lindsey Lohan starred in the movie "Mean Girls" that most teenage girls loved . The movie really can relate to how high school life is and how cliques think and judge other people . Another singer, Hilary Duff, has done the same . She starred in the movie "A Cinderella Story. " When it comes to television shows, the dating reality shows were getting a little repetitive . Some reality shows tho ugh , had teenagers glued to the television . A couple good shows that were watched were "The Real World ," "The Newlyweds, " "Th e Assistant, " and "The Ashlee Simpson Show." "'The Assistant" was really funny and Andy Dick is the man !" sophomore Matt Herrick said. There were also television stars who starred in movies . Chad Michael Murray stared in the TV show "One Tree Hill ," and also played one of the leading roles , along with Duff, in "A Cinderella Story." Why do students like what they do? No one really knows, or probably ever will know. Th e favorite things in enterta inment to teenagers , are the things that draw the most attention, and aren't considered 'stupid .'

Between being involved in activities inside and outside of school, along with having a job, students find it hard managing their schedules. Rush , rush , rush! A lot of the students have mastered this skill. Between school activities , jobs and that midterm paper, most students know what it's like to have no time and a lot of stress! Students were always being told , throughout the year, to make their time at high school special and memorable by getting involved. But what the teachers and staff neglected to tell them , was how hard it would be to manage their schoolwork on top of it. Senior Christy Childers was involved in cheerleading , DECA, ASTRA, and NHS. But that's just in school. Childers was also involved in dance and other groups outside of school. With only about an hour (at the most) to do her schoolwork, life was all about rushing with no time to spare . "I don 't have very much time to relax or get everything done in one day," Childers said . Junior Levi Gates agrees with Childers. "There is like no time for everything that I have to do," Gates said. With band practice early in the morning and football practice along with another band practice after school , Gates found himself getting home around 8:30 or 9:00 at night. On top of school activities , many students were involved in outside functions and groups as well. Freshman Frankie Hughes was a part of a dance studio outside of school which she spent a lot of time at. This cut into her homework time, causing more stress for the dancer.

Having to work until closing time had a big impact on a students work or activity in school. A bad performance on a test can often be due to a late night at work or getting home late from a school function or game. "A lot of times I'll have to work until closing time during the week and I rarely have time to study or get my homework done, " junior Courtney Neumann said . Even with students who weren 't involved in activities or have a job, time can still be a little scarce every now and then . Sometimes students can be so unlucky to get homework from all eight classes due the same day and a test at the end of the week to study fo r. Trying to jam all of the facts into their brains at once was a bit stressful. "You are constantly trying to do tons of homework, which you never have tim e for," junior Gary Gahm said . All in all , students didn 't always get the cred it they deserved . Students were often harped on by adults telling them how easy they have it. This may be true in some cases , but a lot of students had tighter schedules th an some adults . With a full schedule , a lot of students wish they could have more time in their classes to cut down on homework. Left. Sophomore Krysta l Harris stressed during a big test in mathematics.

Here's a look at how guys and girls differ greatly and why some things they do take longer than others. "Beeep, beeep,beeep,beeep!" If you're a guy and you're waking up to that sound, it probably means you can hit the snooze button a couple more times and sleep for a while longer. Then you have to get up and do what you have to do to get ready. If you're a girl, it probably means you can hit the snooze button once or twice, but then you have to get out of bed and jump into the shower then you have to get ready. At least that may describe sophomores Nick Hunt and Michaela Hotz' routines in the morning. If you're like Hunt, you probably get up around 7:00 a.m . and leave the house sometime around 7:25 a.m. That's 25 whole minutes to get ready. How do they do it so fast? "I pretty much get dressed, do my hair, brush my teeth, put on deodorant, pack my book bag , and leave the house," Hunt said . If you are a girl, it probably takes you a little bit longer to get ready than it does guys. For Hotz it takes her two in a half hours to fu lly get ready. So what takes so long? " I take a shower, comb and blow dry my hair, put in my contacts, do my makeup, pick out what I'm going to wear," she said . "Then I get dressed, finish doing my hair, brush my teeth, accessories to go with my outfit, then I get ready to go and leave." There's a popular book called "Women are from Venus Men are from Mars." That title is very true in that case. If you look at how Mike Smiley Amber Smith Stephanie Smith Mychal Snipes Nicole Snipes Rikki Snipes Brooke Sommerville David Sorenson Dustin Speck Bianca Stanfill Alisha Stewart Shilo Stockton Chelsey Stotts Melissa Struck Heather Sullivan Tarah Sullivan Rusty Sutton Troy Sweeney Abigail Tate Ashley Taylor Krystle Thompson 120 Sophomores guys and girls get ready they are two totally different ways. The book tells why men and women are so different from each other. "Guys definitely have it easier than girls do," Hunt said . A big reason girls take longer to get ready is their make up. Most girls have to have their make up done perfect or as close to perfect as they can get it. Girls tend to care about how they look more than guys do so they do extra stuff to make themselves "Gorgeous." Hotz said that her makeup consists of foundation , powder, black eyeliner and mascara, a wide variety of eye shadow, blush , and sometimes glitter. Guys don't have to deal with any of that. Guys can go to school after just washing their face . Sociology teacher Mary Beth Kueny and Assistant Principal Todd Barnett, said that they agree that the reason girls take so much longer to get ready is they have more hair so there is more stuff they can do with it. Mrs. Kueny and Mr. Barnett also agree that in general , girls care more about their appearance wherever th ey go. "I hate getting up so early, but I also don't want to go to school without my hair and make up done," Hotz said. Looking good is very important to a large percent of students. Girls and guys get up early so they can dress to impress others. Be sure to set the alarm clock. Left. Sophomore Michaela Hotz makes sure her makeup is looking good during passing period at school.

Activities like the Special Olympics give these students special opportunities. When one thinks of the special education program, they often overlook it, and the students involved. If you really think about it you 'd see these students are no different from the rest of the student body. They are just as smart/intelligent, athletic, and just as beautiful, but they have a greater obstacle in the way. This program is intended to help kids that are struggling in one class or more. Also some students may need the extra attention that other students might not need. There are two classes with up to 1517 stu dents per class. These students had all the same classes as the rest of the student body but at many different levels. For example , if a student had a higher math level than another student, the teachers will have to teach each student, individually to improve that skill. The students had all the four core classes . "I don 't want to be cooped up in one room all day," freshman Jesse Walker said . The lead teacher of the special education program is Mrs. Jean Blue and the associates that help out mean a great deal to the students. 'They've taught me so much throughout my four years here, and I don 't know where I'd be without them, " senior Josh McKeeman said. The activities provided for the special education students, such as the Special Olympics , give them a chance to take center stage and be recognized .

"I try my hardest at the Olympics, " senior Misty Bergantzel said . "It makes me feel good about myself knowing I've completed one of my goals." This program doesn't have many activities due to budget cuts and not having enough money to do anything, but the teachers try hard to make it a fun experience throughout high school. As a way of teaching the students , the teachers ta ke the students on field trips to better themselves in learning ways to take care of themselves after high school. "We have field trips to job sites, so they can learn to operate in having a job once they are out of high school, " associate Mrs. Weese said. 'They learn to be more responsible from these experiences." If the program wasn 't available , some students would miss the opportunities that others get. Many students have gradu ated or passed, aided by the special education program, and that is a huge accomplishment. "In this class, students are taught survival skills, such as cooking , cleaning, and following instructions ," Mrs. Weese said . From the smaller obstacles to the larger ones, these students improve every day. "They've all improved so much in th eir stu dies and behavior, we 've put some of them in normal classrooms ," Mrs. Blue said. "No matter what the problem or challenge is, my students put great effort in everything th ey do, every day. " Pl. Vltl!l • o.s=< tu n u :re. nus:.u::t t:.' l.l :mu nnns Left.

Everyone wants to make the big bucks and do something with their life. When students were little kids, they always had a dream to be someone they looked up to, like a fireman, police officer, or a teacher. As time passed by, students hit their junior high years and their career plans changed . Many girls looked up to Tyra Banks and wanted to be models. As for many guys, they looked up to Marshall Faulk to be pro football players. Once they got into high school, their minds suddenly changed for th eir futures again . Some students decided family is more important than making a lot of money, but still have dream jobs. Even though students dream jobs may not come true, they can always dream . "I want to be the president of a Fortune 500 company and make a million dollars a year," senior Nick Barth said. "I would like to make a lot of money, meet many new people and manage different stuff." Junior Jodi Castanzo's dream job is to be a forensic scientist. "This job interests me because I get to go to many crime scenes and to make $90,000 a year would be just fine with me," she said. Not only is the perfect job a want but also the perfect salary. "Someday, I want to be a psychologist, to help others with their problems and hopefully making more than $100 ,000 a year, " sophomore Amanda Baatz said. Freshman Briana Boner said , "I want to be a pediatrician , to take care of others when they are sick. My dream salary is to get a million dollars a year." 124 Freshmen Math teacher Mark Meyer, a teacher at Thomas Jefferson High School had a dream to be a pro athlete. "When I was younger I was inspired by my father, who was a coach. I also was involved in many sports and was always watching sports, " Meyer said . He never chased his dream but when he went to college he then decided to be a teacher. "I wanted to become a teacher because I loved tutoring jr. high and high school students and I also could be a coach ," he added. People have dreams, some are little and some take years to pursue, but most of all, they can do anything with their lives. They choose their paths and go with it, no one can tell students no. It is up to students to achieve their goals, to improve their lives, and to chase their dreams. So when students go out there , students should give their all and try to succeed in what their going to do with their lives. Students who try their best and give one hundred percent everytime will be the ones who get the good jobs and big bucks. In other words, go for it, students can reach the stars and dream big. Students can make the money they want, achieve the happiness they deserve and fulfill the career of a lifetime. Our schooling now will prepare them for their futures and help them get the dream jobs they want. Their jobs will no longer be dreams but rea lity. They will have confidence in themselves accomplishing their goals that were once a dream. Left. Senior Nick Barth looks at all the money he wishes to have when he is successful.

Dream Jobs 125 by Courtney Uhl Some classes and activities got cut from last year, and some people weren't very happy with the changes. Who knows maybe the things you like most will be the next to get cut. What's up with this, T.J. had to share classes and teachers with A.L.? There is no more French, and the boy's locker room is now the girl's locker room? Even worse, the girls now have urinals, and the boys have tampon machines. All of these things have to deal with the budget cuts. T.J. and A.L. have to share the same drama and art teacher, this makes it worse than with any other school because of the known rivalry. Both schools think they are so much better than the other school. "I don't think that we should have to share classes with kids from A.L. It just makes it harder for the kids that have to go to the different school, because the kids know that they are from the rival school," junior Ashtyn Neill said. Drama teacher Mary Theresa Green, and art teacher Carrie Pople had to pull double-duty by teaching at both schools. The budget cuts made it so the school had to cut a foreign language, and that was French class. "I think they should have kept French, because not everyone wants to take Spanish for a foreign language," freshman Aaron Byers said. Not only was there a money problem but also a space problem . Room 112 was an old classroom but, due to the budget cuts, it was converted into a new storage room .

Brittany Barker Karis Barlow Dustin Beghtel Cameron Behrens Ashton Belt Joshua Bennett 126 Sophomores To make it easier for the football players, the girls had to switch locker rooms so the boys could have the bigger lockers, for all of their equipment. On the upside for the girls, it won't feel like they are going into a dungeon when they go into the locker room. On the downside, the girls now have urinals. The boys don't know how wierd it is to walk into the girl's locker room and see urinals. When the girl's say they don't like walking into the locker room and seeing urinals, they can 't say to much because the boys don't like walking in and seeing a feminine product machine. "The girls think it's so wierd seeing urinals how do you think us guys feel seeing a tampon machine when we walk into our locker room," junior Brian Meyer said. The guys only have one problem with the change in locker rooms and that is no more air when they come in from a hot days practice . The budget cuts affect a lot of people ; students and teachers. Overall the students and teachers think that the changes that were made are for the good . Maybe all the changes that were made will affect us in the long run. Out of all the things that could have been cut, like sports, and maybe other teachers, the students are glad that none of the important things to them got cut. Just think that it could be worse and maybe a students favorite subject or sport could have been cut. Left. Senior Kelly King looks at a urinal th at is now a part of th e girls locker room .

Teenagers have to deal with a lot of responibiitlies and freedoms that start around that age, including a better job, a car, dating and much more. Life is about growing up , making decisions, learning, and receiving responsibility. Turning 16 is attached to many life lessons. Around the age of 16 teenagers date, work and take driver education . In Iowa, before someone can get their license they have to take a class called Driver's Education to get their license at 16. Driver's ed . takes a lot of time , motivation and money. "There is no point to it. If you already know how to drive, then you already know. Why do you have you pay for something your parents can teach you for free," sophomore Brittany Turpen said . Turning 16 is a huge and exciting thing to most teenagers . It's the excitement of driving without a parent. It's also the excitement of being able to work longer and earn more money. Turning 16 is another step towards being independent. "I'm excited to turn 16 because I will be able to drive , and I think I will have more freedom then ," freshman Tasha Walker said. Freedom is a huge part of turning 16. There is no more parents droppi ng th eir ki ds off and having to pick them back up . The responsibi lity is now up to the student. When teenagers turn 16, most of them have a car. One has to be responsible to own and drive a car. They will have to pay for car payments and insurance. Most 16 year olds will get a job to pay for their bills . It gives a sense of ownership, responsibility and freedom. "My license will be the best part of turning 16. I think I will be able to do more," fresh man Derek Underwood said .

When people give others rides , they are doing them a favor. "I always have to give people rides . It gets old really fast ," junior Cody Johnson said . "I have a lot more responsibility now that I have a car. I have to pick up my little brother and I also give my friends rides all the time. It doesn 't bot he r me t hou gh ," sophomore Garret Bil lingto n said . Even teac he rs remem ber when they got their licens es and first jobs. "I was excited to turn 16. That day I went rig ht to the OMV w hen it was on 23rd street and got my lice nse after school. I couldn 't wait to start driving ," P.E. teach er Nicole Vetter said . For so m e teac hers , t here were things a li tt le more important than dri vi ng , getting car, and working to pay for a car. "Sixteen wasn't very exciting for me. I was more interested in sports. There was a whi le when I was excited , but not for that long, ' math teacher Greg Garth sa id. Turning 16 is a big part of life that everyone goes th roug h. It is suppose to be exci tin g and a step up from ju st being a teenager. For th e people who haven't turned 16 yet, your time will come but for the people who have , happy belated sweet 16. Left.

Were they e nces that students want to remember or ones students want to forget? Many firsts are the most memorable. Parents have to tell their children what their first word was and when their first step was taken, but what about experiencing a first for themselves? Like when students get their first cars, first date, and their first kiss. How exciting it felt to discover a first for themselves. Students cannot wait to turn 16, to stay out later, to be on their own, and finally get a car to go anywhere. Sophomore Andrew Gray got a 1990 white Ford Ranger for his 16th birthday. "My parents bought my first vehicle for me but I had a budget of $500," Gray said. Some parents choose to have their children gain responsibility by paying for it on their own. "I got my 1994 red Ford Probe, traded in my mom's car for it," sophomore Garrett Billington said. Once students get their first car, they go on their first dates. Usually dates start by going out to eat, hanging out with some of their friends, or going to the Lewis and Clark Monument for the beautiful scenery. "When I started dating Jason Caton in ninth grade, our first date was on April 25, after my birthday party. We went to the Star Cinema," sophomore Jennifer Swatek said . After going on a first date, a first kiss is soon to follow. "My first kiss was with Alex Fox in third grade at Walnut Grove Elementary," sophomore Kristi Dow said . Many students have their first kiss in elementary school, while others wait for the right person to share their first with. Girls' most memorable event is their first kiss because girls' strive for relationships, unlike guys who will always remember when they fi rst got their license Back in students' younger years, they discovered many firsts. As they look into the future the best firsts are yet to come. Their first real love, their first born child, their first real job and best of all their first time exploring the world by themselves. Firsts will not stop because new things happen everyday and new obstacles jump in th e way, so don 't think students have conquered everything there is to conquer because more firsts are coming their way! Be ready for the future and more great firsts! As students look back on their lives they'll remem ber and cherish all of their memories with their friends and fa mi ly, they will be reminded of their fi rsts. Sometimes these are memories people forget and sometimes there are memories people would like to forget but no matter what students fi rsts will follow them throughout their lives. As generations pass so will fi rsts for other young people. Many other people will have firsts and will also follow them as time passe . When students think of fi rsts they tend to laugh and cry. People get overwhelmed by the joy of their fi rsts. Once students' high school years are complete, people will remember more of their fi rsts and will appreciate more of life and the people that are in it.

Through all of this, do the cameras really do their job?! Schools have been under heavy watch since the Columbine shootings . Schools now have cameras and some even have metal detectors. The inside of the schools may be safe but what about the parking lots? Are the student's cars safe? To students , it seemed that the crime rate increased in the parking lot. On j ust one day, two students' windows were broken out of their vehicles. "There have been windows and stereos stolen this year but surprisingly the crime rate in the parking lot has decreased from last year," Vice Principa l Mike Johnson said . "The cameras have played a big role in decreasing the crime." But were the cameras really doing that great of a job? "I don 't think the cameras have really been that great. Sure they monitor us but I see so many kids in the parking lot that don 't even go here and try starting fi ghts with the students here," sophomore Brett Dofner said. "My fri end's car windows were broken out after school and the cam era was suppose to move around to watch the whole parking lot but it wa s stuck in one spot. So now she has no idea who did it and has to pay $134 to replace the window." Senior Niki Krueger said , "I remember when my stereo got stolen out of my car and we didn't have cameras then so we couldn 't catch the people who did it. I thin k the cameras do keep us safe but a few of my fri ends' cars have been vandalized and the cameras caught Terrence Huit Cordy Humphrey Nicholas Hunt Katherine Hunter Anita Jackson August Jantzon Rachel Jastorff Shane Jensen Jonathan Jeter Desiree Joh nson Joshua Johnson Joseph Jones Jill Kammrad Donni Kates Kody Ke llar Jordan Kermoade Erin Kuhl Phillip La nega n Dean Lantz Rebecca Larsen David Lauver Andrew Lenihan Jessica Leytham Rode ri c Losteiner 1 32 Sophomores nothing. " So the cameras are a double whammy for some students, they only catch some of the crimes not all of them. What the cameras don 't catch , the students do. "The students this year have been doing a great job at tell ing us if there is a problem or someone is in the parking lot and they are not suppose to be ," Mr. Johnson said . Krueger never actually saw her friend 's car get broken into, but found evidence . "I found my friend 's stereo laying on the ground an d at th e time I didn 't know it was his until he called me and told me his stereo was stolen that day. I guess the thief got scared and threw it on the ground ," she said . Since the installation of the cameras, the crime in th e pa rking lot has decreased even though many students feel the ca meras don 't do their job. "I 'm glad we have cameras and I bet they have helped decrease the crimes but everything has flaws . There are some things the camera won't catch ," Krueger said . Some students have mixed feelings about the cameras but they can agree on one thing , the parking lot would be less safe without them . "There's no gate in the parking lot so there are dangers but that's what the camera is for, " Mr. Johnson said . Left ..

Some are more difficult than others. They have to adapt to the food, friends and a whole new family. While most Americans wake up every morning and do the same thing , others are still trying to adapt to what will be there every day routine for about a year. This year as well as many years in the past, fore ign exchange students tried to adapt to the differences between th e lives of Americans and theirs . Anj a Kielkopf was a junior. Anja was from Germany. She lived with Th omas and Paula Houvenagle. She adapted to the differences fa rely easy but she could not help but miss certain things about Germany. Who wouldn't miss their home land? New friends , different foods , and a brand new family! "I miss my friends and food ," Kielkopf said. She added that th ey do have fast food but they rarely eat it. However, Anja doesn't just think about the things she misses. She also stated th at there were good things about America . For instance , she made the statement that the people are very nice. Haifa Saleh was a sophomore from Jordan . Salehenjoyed her time her and she planed on playing basketball and do well in school. When coming to Ameri ca she expected the classes to be more difficult. She spent her spare time hanging out with friends , playing sports, and studying her class materials. She is lived with Pete and Margaret Abshier. The Abshier's mad e sure Sa le h had fun . Over the summer they went to Adventurela nd and The Mall of America . They also went to Texas so Laura Miller Emily Miner Cameron Misner Jared Monahan Terry Moore Curtis Moreno Sea n Neal Jessica Neighbors Danielle Olson Tri sha Ondracek Charis Oswald Falisha Owens Joshua Parker Jared Patterson Sarah Paulsen Tabetha Pau ly Heather Pedersen Elizabeth Perez 134 Sophomores she could meet their kids . "I thought school was going to be more of a challenge . It is difficult, but it is also fun ," Saleh said. Firnas Boutros lived with Doug and Marilyn Heider and wa s from Iraq . While at Tee Jay he planned on participating on th e soccer team and on the swimming team. The transition wasn 't that easy for Boutros. He could not tell his friends that he wa s coming to America because Americans were the ones attacking th eir land. "I couldn 't tell my friends I was coming to Am erica. They would hate me because they hate America ," he said . Even though the transition may not have been easy, it was a lot more peaceful. Firnas came to America being used to being able to see the fighting. He could see the jets fly right over his house . Now, he is getting use to the quiet and peacefulness. Victor Abu-Latifeh's transition was a peaceful one as well . Abu-Latifeh was from Palestine. He enjoyed part icipati ng in numerous activities . He planed on participating on th e soccer te am and the basketball team. He was also a member of the cross-country team . Abu-Latifeh came to America speaking English , Rom ania n, and Arabic fluently. Already knowing English made th e trans ition easier for him.

Many students say its their teachers that are their role models, while others say its their coaches that make them the athlete they are. As children grow up, they tend to look up to someone, whether it's a family member, friend, teacher, coach, or even a superhero like Superman or Batman . "My idol is coach Muehlig because he helped me to succeed in sports. He's always there for me, his students, and athletes ," junior Mark James said. "He's an all-around great person ." Parents are common heroes for children when they are growing up. Children are around their parents so much that they tend to look up to them especially in the younger years before a child goes off to school. "I look up to my mom because she is great. She has helped me whenever I had a problem and has always been there for me, " senior Kendra Banderas said . Math teacher Pat Nepple's heroes were his parents . "They taught me right from wrong, they raised me to be a good person. I really admire them for that, " he said . Many athletes look up to professional athletes for inspiration or strength . "I look up to the USA's pitcher because she is an amazing player. I wish I could play like her, have her leadership and skill ," sophomore Sara Slobodni k said . Teachers are heroes in most students eyes. They teach students valuable lessons and help the students become the person they will be later in life.

He always helps me and I have learned a lot from him . He's a great guy," Banderas said . So how does a hero or idol respond to hearing these praises? "It makes me feel good to hear that the students view me as an idol or a hero," Mr. Nepple said. James said that he never had Mr. Muehlig as a tea cher but, "a few of my friends have and they tell me he is a great teacher and they look up to him." Yet sometimes being an idol or hero has a little too much pressure. "It's nice to hear that I'm someone's idol bu t if you 're someone's idol or hero, you have to live on a pedestal and hope you do things that they like. Sure, I had heroes in high school like my teachers and coaches but they fell off those pedesta ls because I saw them as humans just like me ," Muehlig said . "I have good and bad traits just like everyone else ." An idol or hero are humans just like anyone else but to certain people , they look immortal and great. They look like someone they want to be like. So does that mean people need an idol or hero and mold their life to be just like them? No, it means there are so many people in the world but everyone is unique because of their own style. Sure, they can try to be like someone but they shouldn't try to change and be just like the idol or hero. Left. Junior Nick Boos puts his little brother, freshman Ben Boos, in a headlock.

Everyone has those little things they can't live without, that thing they take for granted. For instance cell phones, computers, and even friends. Walking down the street, there's not one person who is not talking on a cell phone. But what if magically all those little things people take for granted, the little things everyone can't live without, were gone? At least once in everyone's life, they had to walk somewhere, whether it's to a friend 's house or to school. For some students they value their car more than anything else. Just a quick simple five minute drive anywhere rather then a 15 minute walk. "I value my car more than anything, I don't think I could survive without my car," junior Nikki Bockert said. Having one's own car provides that simple freedom of not having to bum a ride somewhere or being dropped off by a parent. This also eliminates the embarassment along with not having a car. One thing everyone can't live without is money. "I love money, I just don't like having to work for it. It would be better if it were just given to me," junior Chris Duncan said. Without money, people wouldn't be able to buy the things they want and need. Music, clothes, or just going out costs students a lot of money. Another thing everyone has that is taken for granted are cell phones. How easy it is to make a simple call when ever someone wants to or when its an emergency, or to just mess around during Aja Stites Austin Stites Bret Strong Ashley Sublet Jennifer Swatek Tiffanie Synacek Kevin Tholen Ashley Thomas Matthew Thomas Makala Thompson Matthew Thompson Morgan Thompson Tylur Thompson Jenna Tietz Michael Tilley Jerrica Tillman David Topolski Brittany Turpen 138 Sophomores class and have some fun . "I love my cell phone, I can just mess with it whenever I get bored, plus my friends can call me or I can call them when I want," sophomore Brittany Hiers said . For some students, they value candy or pop as something they cant live without. Those little, sweet deletable sugars that everyone loves. "Mountain Dew, I couldn 't live without it, it gets me through the day," senior Christy Childers said . For some students th ey can 't put a price on family, friends, or even pets. Some things that are needed and cant be replaced such as those things. "My friends , I hate not being with my friends and not doing something fun , it just gets boring without them, " freshman Ashlea Christensen said . All of those very important things that no one can put a price on , are things that people value more than any object or possession in the world. So enjoy the blessings of life, you may not always have them . All in all everyone has something that they don't relize how important and valued it is to them. But what if those most priceless possesions were gone forever. What would life be like, scary to think about. So don't take things for granted, value them like th ere's no tomorrow. Left.

Whether it is just trying to kick a friend jokingly or even during practice for a sport. The injuries can be very dangerous in some cases. Casts, braces , splints, and wrappings are things that people have to go though when they get hurt. If a person is active in sports then an injury can be really hard on them and their team. "I felt like I was letting my team down," freshman Dustin Congdon said. The injuries hopefully get better but in some cases they get worse . "I was so mad when I went back to the doctor to get my release and found out that I had a fractured vertebrate ," Congdon said . "I wasn't even able to finish out the year for football. " There are many causes of injuries, however nearly one-third of all injuries in ones childhood are sport related and are mostly the kinds of injuries that you hear about. More than 775 ,00 children are treated in hospital emergency rooms for sports-related injuries each year. Surprisingly enough, 62 percent of those injuries happen during practice . "I was hurt during a tackling practice," Congdon said, "I'm happy it wasn't during a game because I don't like not finishing games. " The most dangerous type of injuries that anyone can have would be a traumatic brain injury. 21 percent of all traumatic brain injuries occur during sports and recreational activities . However, next to a minor concussion there hasn't been any major injuries at school. Before the homecoming assembly there was a speaker from Think First, Traumatic Injuries Prevention Strategies. The message was to tell people to wear their seat belts , but they also spoke about Eric Wildrick Justin Williams Zachary Williams Corey Wilson Marl ene Wi lson Regina Wilson Jacob Witzke Jessena Wright Rikki Wright Jessica Ziegler 140 Sophomores how high school sports are a major contributor to traumatic injuries. Being in any kind of sport can be dangerous. Sports and recreational activities are not the only ways that teenagers can be injured . "I broke my leg trying to kick my friend because he kept bothering me, " senior Jean Carlson said. Some of the silliest things such as shutting your hand in a car door can really injure a person . "I remember when I was five and shut my thumb in my car door, " Congdon said, 'The door was stuck, my parents tried fo r wh at seemed like forever to try and open it. When I finally got free and went to the hospital I found out that I had broken it in three different places ." Most injuries turn out to be okay. "My thumb is fine and after all my physical therapy my back will be good as new, " Congdon said . The injuries heal quickly and usually there are no noticeable effects. Do what the doctor says and the bones will heal fine . "After a couple of weeks my leg was out of the boot, " Carlson said . Playing around with friends, just walking through the hall and stepping wrong, or even not getting your hand out of the wa y can cause some serious damage. Luckily enough none of these injuries were life threatening and easily fixed . Be careful when playing any kind of sports and think before acting .

Injuries 141 by Matt Clark O- CD Many students in this school have a lot different excuses, but which one works the best? How far will students go to get themselves another day to work on an assignment. My dog ate it. I left it in my car. Sound familiar to a lot of people? People use some pretty dumb, unbelievable excuses to get out of doing just about anything . The thing that makes it even more unbelievable is they get out of doing it and have more time to work on it. Some students can think of some good excuses , but you sti ll have the students that use the same old excuse that your mom or dad might have used when they were in high school. The most common excuse found in the school was , I left it in my car. Welding teacher Bruce Hathaway said , "I think the fu nniest excuse I have ever heard was about three years ago. Th e student showed up to class 20 minutes after the bell rang, wh en I asked him why he was so late he said , I was confused. May I remind you it was in th e middle of December, well into the school year." Hathaway said ," I've heard I had car problems and couldn't do it, I just thin k to myself what does having car problems have to do with anything . I've also seen students walking around in the hallways during my class , and come back the next day w ith an excuse d absence. I always wondered how that worked ." But, the best excuses come from those who think of it as a form of art. Ju nior An dy Ba iley said, "The one I use most is when Victor Abu-Latifeh Jared Adkins Ma rk Arnold Mandi Atkinson Garrett Avey Andrew Bailey Joshua Bain Kendra Banderas Michael Barrett Kai Bartholomew Kyle Bartholomew Alan Bates Andrew Bates Katie Beaver David Benegas Stacy Bettis Darren Billam Patri ck Billam Jennifer Birkholtz Brent Bocker!

" Most students think that they can use excuses when it com es to having a substitute to get out of doing the work that their tea cher had planned for them . "The best excuse I had ever come up with was , one day I had a substitute , and I told her I had to go to the library to work on my powerpoint on the biometric compl exity of the percentage rate of error with fingerprinting, " said Bailey. "When I told her that I thought she would just laugh at me and make me go sit down , but she let me go and told me to be back befo re the bell rang ." Some students have very creative ones . Junior Ash ley Hayward said , "I tell the teacher that when I take stuff home I can never get it done because I am having a very hard time at home, fighting with my parents , though I'm really not." Junior Courtney Neumann said , "My mom got my grades and I had an F in biology. When asked why I had such a low grade I told her I did poorly on a test that was worth half of my grade, but the truth was that the test was only worth 10 percent of my grade and didn't bring me down that much ," Neumann said . Neumann also gave up her most prized excu se for wh en school calls and says she's been late or tardy. "They have sim ply just made a mistake. I went to all my classes and got th ere on time . You can even call my teachers and ask them ," Neuman n said. Left. Freshman Jake Cudd tries to explain himself to Mr. Schick in reading class. Photo by Sarah Fredrickson . Below.

It's how teenagers look at it, is the problem. Do you believe puppy love is real love? Is teenage love overrated? Puppy love, that's what being a teenager is all about. Being so young , and not knowing what else is out there can make teens develop tunnel vision. Tunnel vision makes teens believe they are "i n love" and there could never be anyone else . " Really it is not true love, teenagers experience love for the fi rst time and think it's true love , but it really is not," teacher Dan Strutzen berg said . Most people in ju nior high and high school aren't really looking fo r someone to be in love with. "I was just looking for the hottest girl when I was in high school , I did n't care what her personality was like," Mr. Strutzenberg said. Teenagers don't really notice how much life lies in front of th em. Because of the tunnel vision effect, most teens do not know how to deal with thei r fi rst serious relationship break up. "Teenage love is overrated , you can love someone, but people take it too seriously, you are only in high school , get over it," senior Dane Ch ristensen said . Some teens believe after losing their "first true love" that life is over. Many decide to try to commit suicide or develop bad habits li ke drugs and alcohol. Teens do not see that after a break up many new experiences are coming their way. There are always good and bad points to make with fi rst loves.

Being in love is much more than holding hands and being giddy when you are around someone . Love contains much more, and yet some teenagers do really love one another, many others are only fooled by puppy love. "I think puppy love is very special , its cute and ma kes teens feel all warm and fuzzy inside," P.E. teacher Nicole Vetter said. Some teens will do almost anyth ing to keep the person a part of their life. Love is very beautiful , but in a teenagers eyes it is 1 almost just the spotlight to walk around with someone clingi ng to their side , or the thought of people being losers if they do not have a girlfriend or boyfriend . That's not love. Love is much more and to some people , teenagers are way 1 to young to be involved in serious relationships or experiencing "real" love. "Love contains time , heart, and dedication to someone and teens these days just don 't have patience for that, its not love, it's puppy love ," freshman teacher Pam Crawford said . Most teens don 't even know what love is until they are older. Teens may have been in relationships before but it is not love . No matter if puppy love last forever or two weeks , most teenagers will experience this life lesson and they wi ll experience the good and bad but that's what love is all about. Left.

What are friends? Friends are together through thick and thin . Friends are there for one another time and time again. Friends are people who help others to stay strong when their days have grown tired and long . Friends are people you can count on even if that friend was someone you made fun of. Friends are the ones who help each other at the drop of the dime, and it's said friends are hard to fi nd . Friends do things others would never understand . "A friend is someone who knows th e song of your heart and can si ng it back to you when you forget the words ," senior Rochelle Larsen said . Many students have their favorite activities to do with their friends, favorite places to go, favorite songs to sing , or even just the sma ll things as a favorite saying . "My favorite thing to do with my friends is to just go out and have fu n. To not be afraid to make fools of each other. I like to do anything, as long as we are together and have fun ," senior Cassie Chase said. "Lean on me , when you're not strong , and I'll be your friend , I'll hel p you carry on, fo r it won't be long , 'til I'm gonna' need , somebody to lean on," th is well known song , Lean On Me by Al Jerreau , can be played over and over again and no one would ever get tired of it.

Organizations and sports help students become united and build that special bond . When a student is in sports they spend at least 25 hours a week with the same group of people , they can 't help but become friends with them . Organizations such as ASTRA or DECA take time out and volunteer together to help other people . Some friendships don 't always last. Maybe someone moved away, stopped doing an activity, or just started hanging out with different people . Students go through countless friend s throughou t their lives , but there are always those special people th at wi ll alwa ys be there for them . "I will always be there for all of my old and new friends no matter what happens in the future. Through thick and thin my friends will always be there for me , whether I've known them for 11 years or just a few, I know we will always be friends ," senior Kevin Marl ey said. Whatever someone 's definition of a fr ie nd is , everyone has them. It could be a next door neighbor, broth er or sister. parents , or just someone a person met at sc hoo l. When someone meets that special friend , they shoul d ke ep them close . Be sure to never forget the memories , the past experiences.

LaStin'il Impression~ By Brandy Pierson Being a senior has its advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is being one step closer to freedom , while a disadvantage is also being one step closer to freedom. No matter which way you look at it, being a senior is harder than any other grade level. You only have nine months of school to hang out with friends you might never see again. Going to a pep assembly, taking the ACT, writing your term paper, and cramming in a late night of studying are impressions that you will always remember. Seniors are constantly advised to cherish these few years because they are the best years of their life, but sometimes those words are so repetitive that seniors blow them off. Those words will have a new meaning when there are only a few months left in their high school career. Seniors start to seek out a new life such as where to go to college , where to live, where to work, and the hardest decision that needs to be made is which major. Choosing a major is stressful. It's not fair to tell an 18 year old they have to make a decision that will affect the rest of their life and they must stick with this decision. No matter which path a senior takes, they are wished the best of luck. Right. Jenny Pettit talks to one of the representatives about getting a new tassel. Photo by Brandy Pierson . Far Right.

WhyS Small? By Kristina Congdon With only 170 seniors graduating in May, the 2005 senior class was one of the smallest classes in years. One of the major reasons for such a small class was due to the dropout rate. "Dropout rates are getting ridiculous, " senior counselor Nancy Hale said, "either people don't come to school or they come and just don't do the work." Being a part of such a small class affects those seniors. "I'm proud of all the students who stuck with it and didn't give up," senior Alex Mullins said , "even though our class is small it makes us all closer to each other." The students that continued to stay in school worked hard and are proud to be where they are. "Although it's unfortunate, the students in our community that want to be successful are here," senior John Crummer said , "we 3a,.ed Colby .Adkins . e ta\\<.S to \-13)'1"' 1 seniof pnoto Kend ..aM.

'o)' p..nclrea should focus on those 170 or so students and praise them for persevering." That popular word 'diploma' haunts people; not only in school but also people in the world. "It doesn't matter whether or not you want to be a mechanic, lawyer, or a clerk at McDonald's, without a high school diploma you will make less money than someone with a diploma ," Crummer said , "someone that is without a high school diploma also eliminates any possibility of advancement in an organization." A lot of people get easily distracted from school and then decide to dropout. "Definitely focus on school, a lot of people get caught up in their personal lives, when you're thinking about dropping out , think about where you're going to be in 10 years," Mullins said .

For the class of 2005, the school board was the mad scientist, focus and 48 credits the idea, and the class of '05 were the guinea pigs in this educational experiment. Focus class began freshman year with students starting portfolios, and continued through the sophomore year where students participated in mock interviews. Junior year students had mostly completed all the requirements for focus and just did simple college surveys about where they planned on going and what they planned to study. "I think focus is good because it helps prepare students for the real world and I think that is good , they don't go out there with no knowledge," English teach er Jane Howard said . Focus took place only on Monday's, right after second period . In addition to having Focus on Monday, students started school at 9:30 because of Staff Development meetings. Student also had to complete a CAP folder during junior year. Another change for the class of 2005 was the required credits. Seniors had to have 48 credits to graduate. Unlike the class of 2004 and before that, homeroom wasn't counted as a credit, but not with focus, "I think it stinks that they picked my class to do it, I mean it's not bad for me because I already have all my credits I need, " senior Jon Turnbeaugh said . In this educational experiment, the guinea pig class will be leaving, and the class of 2005 will have been the first through the new requirements. .Amanda Lynn eo ....ill .Ashl ey 3o>'dan Danielsen Micha la c laine D illehay Left.

Lips a nd do \\.11 \ S . 11 Bewa By Brandy Pierson It was a cool night on Sept. 10 when most of the student body was at an away football game, and four senior girls thought it was a great night to pull their senior prank. The football team lost badly so the girls thought it was up to them to cheer up the student body when they got home . They decided to decorate their cars with toilet paper, colorful signs and feminine products. "We made the signs at home and we went to Walgreens for supplies and headed over to the parking lot," one prankster said. After a quick stop for supplies, the girls started to decorate the cars. While they were decorating, cars drove by and watched or kept circling the block to see who the pranksters were. The girls hid under cars and ran out of sight. They decorated close to all the cars until a van became brave and chased the girls out e 0~ tne was on a .

The girls knew they couldn 't hide so they decided to run for it. "I've never run so fast in my life. It felt like I was on an episode of COPS ," the prankster said. As the girls fled, they threw their supplies to the ground or in the air and jumped into their friend 's getaway car. "As soon as we jumped in the car and drove off, the van still followed us for a few blocks. After we calmed down, we were so excited about what we had just done," another prankster said. The girls managed to get out of the parking lot without being seen. Later that night when the student body returned to the parking lot and saw their cars, talk soon arose about who did it. Only a few people know who pulled the senior prank of 2005. Many seniors seemed to have great ideas for other senior pranks, but none came to fruition .

Turning the ultimate age, 18. Finally people might address them as an adult. No more curfew, tattoos are allowed, and seniors are their own guardians. They are running with the big boys now. But is turning 18 really all that it is cracked up to be? It is true that now, one has more privileges, but with privileges comes responsibility, and no one likes to be responsible. Every teenager dreams of the day when th eir parents can no longer treat them as a child. But does that really happen? Senior Jack Pierce doesn 't think so. Pierce said that his parents do not treat him any differently now than before he turned 18. Senior Michaela Brannan said that her parents already treated her as an adult, and that there is really no change. According to Pi erce and Bra nnan , turning 18 was just May turning another year older. Being able to vote , another high light to being of legal age. Students that are 18 years of age are finally able to have a voice in their country. Turning 18 also means being able to enlist in the Army or join the Marines, Air Force, etc. Many students here chose this option for their futures. These are just society's measure of the importance of turning 18 . W hat did the students personally look forward to when turning 18? "Becoming an adult you are more responsible for your own actions and th e actions of people younger than you," senior Craig Gates said . All in all the measure of importance of turning 18 is really up to the individ ual and what they want to do with their lives. 3acobMa~ew M cCilade 3 oshtAa Roy M c Keeman Timothy D tAa l'\e McN ichols Le ft.

They share the good memories, but also the bad . Seniors realized what the real world is like and what their future may bring them. The graduating seniors relived their past memories of what they will miss when th ey are gone. "I am going to miss all of my friends because some of us have been together since kindergarten," senior Jennifer Morrison said. Some seniors will miss their friends , teachers and even classes , but most of all sports. "I will miss golf the most because of the competition involved," senior Andrue Flatt said. After high school many seniors planned on going to college and majoring in a certain field . There are many different occupations out there, so that was a hard choice for some to make. "I plan on going to USO and majoring in accounting, " Morrison said. Seniors also made many memories within the high school walls. Meeting new friends and building those bonds helped high school go by faster. "The past four years have reall y changed my life, I have made many new friends and I've had the time of my life . I can 't wait until we all graduate and hang out this summer and also our years to come while we're in college ," senior Ellie Oswald said. Memories of the seniors past years won 't be forgotten but now they say goodbye to the past and hello to the future . C):'ndi Mae Ree Ifs "l)o 1"10! fo ll ow w h » "e t h e path "' a}/ lead .

There's also little time to get everything done for the next year it is off to college or other big plans seniors may have. Even though some parents don 't care what their son or daughter does, most seniors are smart enough to know what is right and wrong. "After a long night of Halo 2, it's hard to get motivated enough to come to school," senior Jake Smith said. Not only do seniors have to worry about coming to school , but also getting college applications and scholarships done. There isn't a lot of time to have everything done so some give up and try not to worry about doing the hard work . o and j n 1 arna'1' ' 5 to 0 c\<.ton . r\n9 c1as snaun S\O ?u\efS au o\ Ree\\S.

Other people feel the effects of senioritis including teachers and administration. Some seniors stop turning in homework and give up on everything related to school. "The seniors tend to give up when 4th quarter comes around , they start slacking off and not turning in their homework, it's a waste of the year if they don't try, " history teacher Kelly Boyle said. Attendance is another issue that comes along with senioritis. Some don 't want to come to school anymore because they think there is no point. Hopefully, with the school year coming to an end, most seniors made it to graduation and have a bright future ahead of them full of more obstacles to come. 3onathan Mykel 'Phillip Tamayo ''98 °/o o f 5 1,. , ccess is j i. .,s i s ho v1., i•" 9 t..,p ." .Angela Diane Thomas ''\(o c' a e • t h e h e •,•o of }::'OLP" O \ \.fl'\ life ad v e n h.u·e ." 3onMichael T . . . ..-nbea . . . 9h ":Ji h ap p e ns ."

Get all of your homework done. Don't be out too late! These words from parents are heard almost every day of students' lives. Hearing advice from parents and teachers can be very annoying. Some do listen while others choose to do what they want. Day after day it gets very old and students wish they would just leave them alone. Even though they do nag, they are right. Studying, keeping up the good grades, and getting to bed early actually do help for school. Going through high school can be a very demanding task. Just waking up in th e morning can be difficult. Others have to manage sports, jobs, and all of the homework assigned from school. So how does one last through high school?

Take life seriously and expect to go through the hardest years of your life," senior Jessica Davis said. Managing time is a big issue for seniors. They have jobs, application deadlines, scholarships to fill out, and of course having a social life. With all of these things going on , how can someone get through it all? "School should be above anything else! I've had a job since I was 16 and I still manage to have good grades and have a social life," senior Rebecca O'Brien said. Obviously going through high school isn't all that bad. Keeping up good grades and managing time are the top two things to do while in school. Advice from these seniors should be useful to future students.

Some people say that the one teacher they remember the most from high school is the teacher that pushed them to the limit. There are two teachers that have been doing that for almost 33 years and have decided to leave. These two teachers are Phsyical Education teacher John Ki nsel and Marketing teacher Gary Bannik. Both of them have been teaching for 33 years and all that time at the same school. Even though they have a lot in common they also have a lot of differences . Kinsel has taught P.E. since he started teaching in 1972. "I like teaching because I like kids, and I went to this school so I think it is easier for me to relate to them ," Kinsel said. After Ki nsel retires, he wants to look for another job . "I am retiri ng because I can and I figure I only have about 10 more good years left in me and I figure that I should try something other than teaching ," Kinsel said. After Kinsel leaves it will not be the same but it is not the first time something like this has happened . Last year two P.E. teachers retired , Lavonne Pierson and Sharon Gary Bannick Janet Beckstead Chuck Black Jean Blue Ke lly Boyle Frank Brickey Mark Brown Wanda Busse Shannon Cde baca Dale Cerny David Clark Ann Clinton Jay Conyers Debra Cook Pamella Crawford Debbie Dah lheimer Ann e Deal Holly Demarque Amy Erwin Michael Forbes Greg Garth Patty Gillespie Deb Goodman Jerry Gray 172 Retirements Semler. "I will miss Mr. Kinsel because he has been a good P.E. teacher and he has been fun to be around, " sophomore Amy Robinson said. Another teacher that will be missed is Gary Bannick. He is the Marketing teacher and the DECA sponsor. "I decided to be a teacher because I like helping other people especially kids, " Mr. Bannick said. Even though Mr. Bannick likes teaching he is still retiring. "I am retiring because I want to be able to get a new job, I need some change in my life," Mr. Bannick said. When Mr. Ban nick leaves there will have to be anoth er marketing teacher and someone else will have to take over sponsoring DECA and running the BeeHive. "I think that Mr. Bannick is the greatest thing for the Marketing Department, and it will be impossible for the administration to replace him. He is a great motivator and his future stud ents w ill be priviledged to get the chance to work with him ," sen ior Jenny Pettit said. These two teachers have been here for so long that it will never be the same with out them . Everyone wil l miss Mr. Kinsel and Mr. Bannick and everyone wishes them well in the future . Left.

Some teachers go on fun vacations, some get part-time jobs, and some just spend time with their families and friends. Students probably think that teachers go to teaching seminars all summer long and think of ways to punish students, but the truth is that teachers actually live normal lives during the summer. It is hard to believe, isn't it? From part time jobs, to just being lazy, the teachers enjoy the time they have off. They maintain jobs such as managing a swimming pool and coaching at other schools. They also just take a break and relax. "I manage a private swimming pool called Town and Country during the summer, " Science teacher Lori Williams said. Kent Jensen is going to be coaching baseball at Millard West this summer. He also likes spending the spare time with his family. An important thing about summer for teachers, is the fact that they get to spend a lot more time with their family. During the school year it isn't always easy to spend quality time with family. Summer gives teachers the chance to do so . Amy Erwin is a Youths Correction worker at the Council Bluffs Juvenile Detention Center. She also likes getting the extra sleep, and usually has time to go on some kind of vacation. Erwin also spends a lot of quality time with her boyfriend. "Last summer I went to Okoboji , and this year I will probably go to Chicago , and hopefully see a Cubs game ," Erwin said. Teachers go on many different types of trips . Pat Nepple and his wife took a trip to Europe. While Mrs. Williams goes on a week long trip with her family to a cabin in Minnesota, she also goes Jillian Mcintosh Doug Muehlig Mark Meyer Adam Moss Bonnie Mueller Christina Nelson Mary Newman Jeanette Parks Marleen Peterson Mary Jane Peterson Carrie Pope Nancy Reiff Vicky Rockwell Pau la Rosenthal Missi Rowe Kevin Rutland Joyce Schaefer Devin Schoen ing Debra Schuchard Jamie Smiley Jan Smith Joyce Snyder Trudy Stevens Catherine Straub 174 Teacher trips >, to a lot of softball games. "I spend a lot of time at the softball field in the summer," Williams said . Some teachers have to stay at school during the summer. "I am a secretary here at summer school, " Kathy Buchanan said. Buchanan also has time to work at the baseball and softball games. She collects the money at the games . Buchanan also went to the state of Washington to see her brother and her kids last summer. For some, summer is not about vacation . The baseball and softball coaches may love coaching but they don't get much vacation time . They spend a lot of time with their players and coaches . For instance, Kelly Duffek is always staying late to help someone bat or pitch . It is vacation , but not ideal for most people . Science teacher Carmen Kinsley went to Oregon . She went to Oregon to watch the LPGA Tour a professional women 's golf tournament. Teachers are pretty lucky, can you name a job where you get three months off to do whatever you want and still get paid . During the school year teachers families don 't get a lot of time to spend with them , because teachers have to come to school early and stay late. Even when they are home they still have to grade papers and think of lessons for classes. During the summer is the time fo r teachers and families to spend some qualit time with there loved Left.

Some of these impressions have been good while others may have been bad ; any way you look at it, they have helped you grow into the person you are. Friends to teachers , classes to jobs , the year has been filled with ups and downs and anywhere in between. Friends come and go and throughout the year as you have probably learned . Your friends helped you with your homework, break ups, personal problems , and just to cheer up. These friendships may continue on into next year or they could be lost during the summer. Nothing is for sure in life and friendships are the sa me way. Not on ly do the seniors leave school but teachers do too. Some teachers will retire , go to a different school to teach or they could simply go out and find a new career. The teachers have taught us in the classroom and th ese teachi ngs can be taken out of the classroom too. Not only teachers leave an impression but also coaches. Coaches leave for the same reasons as the teachers. They too are looked up to like the teachers. These impressions can never be replaced or forgotten. Left.

This book is our masterpiece. It is full of impressions from throughout the school year and these impressions will be remembered for years to come. There were many new faces added to the staff and they were great at meeting every deadline. They truly were determined to have a book they could be proud of as well as everyone who will read it. Thanks to everyone for putting in their unique style, responsibility to stay late to work, and their devotion to making this book a success. The new staff members were great at stepping up to their editor positions. They helped each other with stories and pictures. The returning staff members were great at showing the new staff the ropes . Overall , everyone worked together and I thank them all. Also , I would like to thank Mr. Schoening for helping the staff, as well as me . He has been a big help and he always made time for yearbook as well as newspaper. Without him some of us would still be trying to figure out how to run some of the computer programs . One person I need to thank is Mrs. Goodman. If it wasn 't for her, I wouldn't sitting here typing this / colophon. She made me become a writer and she has taught me so much in yearbook as well as in other (_,() classes . Mrs. Goodman taught me and a few other staff members as well as Mr. Schoening . We all owe her a thank you for helping us push ourselves to become great young journalists. Sports Overall , the staff deserves a round of applause and a pat on the back for being the best staff I have been on . Thank you, each and everyone of you , for being such dedicated journalists . Good luck in the future. (f 6te €fl .

Although what we learned in our previous !:jears was useful, we continue to learn. From learning our ABC's to taking the ACT. our limits have no boundaries. From learning how to write in cursive to filling out college scholarships, from packing !jour lunch to offcampus lunch; from riding the bus to having !jOUr own license; from getting read to, to reading Shakespeare; we are showing our true potential. While man)j things have changed, som e exp e riences from our childhood will live on forever. Sleeping in class used to be one of the activities that was required, but now sleeping in class is either due.to boredom or lack of sleep. Things we've learned in our first )jears of school will stick with us for the rest of our lives. Sooner than we will expect, we. will be living in an "All Grow'd Up" world on our own "All GroWd Up" reflects the times of us all growing up.

Well, on Tuesda!:::j, November 25, 2003, Senator John Kerr!:::j (Mass.l came to the Tee Ja!:::j Auditorium to talk with the students. "It was awesome to see someone like him come to Tee Ja0 Usuall!:::j it's not our school the!:::j're coming to, it's somewhere else the!:::j're going," senior Tara Ekstrom said. The speech was intended for the senior audience onl0 "It was ver!:::j interesting. He talked about topics that were focused towards teens," senior Ramone Wilder said. Kerr!:::j came to promote his education plan. Kerr!:::j visited our school in particular because of its name; Thomas Jefferson. Ke rr!:::j was impressed with Thomas Jefferson's beliefs in education. Kerr!:::j is running for president in 2004, and was at Tee Ja!:::j on a ~ campaign trip. "I think he had great opinions and he stated man!:::j firm facts that if he were president. he'd follow through on. If I were old enough to, and I could vote, I believe I would vote for him," Ekstrom said. The majorit!::l of teacher s as well as the students appreciated Kerr!:::j coming to express his views. "I was impressed with how he addressed the students and their role in the election process and his d irectness and emphasis on not hav ing special interests. I left with the feeling that if he lived up to his promises about education than he'd be a strong contender for earning m!:::j vote in the election," English t eacher, Pam Mass said.

Concerns with the budget cuts led a lot of people to believe that all Fine Arts activities might be cut, including band. Due to this worr~. the band worked extra hard to tr~ and prove that the Fine Arts should not be cut. "I think that the band is reall~ good for the school so I hope the rumors aren't true," junior Jean Carlson said. The concert band season included the usual winter concert, parade of bands, spring concert and the state largegroup contest. At the winter concert (which also included the choir and orchestral the band pla~ed some popular jingles. The most exciting concert for the band was the parade of bands. Excitement for the concert alwa~s comes because the~ get to hear the elementar~ and junior high bands. The ' band was not onl~ excited to hear the other bands, but there was a particular song that ever~one was looking forward to. A song performed in the dark with flashlights and special effects. "I love Voo Doo," freshman Trisha Hodges said, "the flashlights are a great effect." Although most of the band gets more nervous than excited, the other biggest event for the concert band season was the state large-group contest. Held at Abraham Lincoln, the band pla~ed one song and got a one rating. "I'm just happ~ that we got t o finish our song," Carlson said.

During the spring, some students were outside bus!:j get ting tans, while others were Sarah Schroeder enjo!:jing a competitive match of tennis, a challenging game of soccer, long enduring runs outside with the track team or ma!:jbe even shooting som e holes with the golf teams. Spring could have been considered the most st ressf ul time throughout the whole !:jear, especiall!:j for the seniors. Not onl!:j were the seniors having to make rearrangements for rehearsals but also having to complete the infamous term ~aper on time. Prom was the big event of the Spring.

Some students simply hang out with friends , or go swimming or play sports. And some even have to get the dreaded summer job. But, some students, and teachers , were able to use the time away from school over the summer as a time to take a much needed trip away from home. Freshman Levi Gates took a trip to Las Vegas where he spent a week siteseeing and spending time with family. "One thing I enjoyed the most was fourwheeling, " Gates said. Sophomore Nate Bentzinger planned on having a great vacation in Missouri with his family, but ended up getting into a car wreck on the way there . "In the end , everything, and everyone, were fin e," he said. Junior Mike Corrill traveled with his family to Phoenix, AZ. Corrill spent two fun packed weeks in Phoenix where he visited his sister, but his vacation was also filled with outdoor activities. He took the relaxation of most water sports and outdoor sports to the next level by rock climbing and river rafting . Sophomore Mike Neville traveled far to visit family in the nation's capitol Washington D.C. "I had fun sight-seeing and I went to Six Flags," he said . Students traveled all over the country to spend vacations with family, and just to have fun. Even if students spent a week or two on a vacation they still had time to come home, sleep in and hang out with their friends. They even had time for summer jobs. "My summer was not as fun because I had to get up early in the morning to go to work at McDonalds and that's where I spent most of my time, senior Brandie Young said. "I worked all summer at Taco Bell," senior Amanda Geraets said. Other students tried to stay cool and out of the heat by swimming, boating, fishing , skiing , and going to amusement parks. "While I was in Minnesota , I went to the lakes, went boating, skiing , and shopping, " senior Jamie Thomas said.

Summer Vacations ~ard work Story by Roxy Graham, Gina Greco and Jennifer Dingman Following a long school year, when summer finally rolls around , no one wants to do anything but sleep and lounge around, but sometimes that is not possible. Some students slept and hung out with friends during the summer while others had jobs to keep them occupied. Students like freshman Leslie Propp and senior Elizabeth Garcia spent the summer working to pay bills and to have spending money. I work to pay my computer and cell phone bill ," said Propp who worked at Burger King, "I also work to gain experience." Other students, like sophomore Lindsay Stotts and freshman Lindsey Smith, who both work at HyVee , prefer to spend their extra money on clothes . Champs Sports seemed to be a good place to work according to junior Staci Byers. 1 like it because the people I work with are fun and it's really easy." Staci worked there through the summer and continued to work there during the 2002-2003 school year. 11 11 Responsibility seemed to be a priority for many like Garcia . She worked at the Goodwill and used her money to pay bills like her car payment, car insurance and cell phone. Other students chose to spend their money on other stuff like beachwear. When asked what she bought with her first paycheck, Stotts rep ied, I bought a swimsuit. " Freshman Thomas Smith was the only freshmen at Tee Jay to work at Auto Body Repair. While working on custom cars he was saving his money to buy his own . Having a job was also a good way to meet new people, according to senior Patricia Graham who worked at Piccolo Pete's. " I like to meet a variety of people," she said. May it be for fun, extra cash, to occupy time or just to pay bills, having a job seemed to be a good experience for most students. It was also a great way to make new friends. So when the summer approaches and you are looking for something to do, follow the lead.

Marla Peterson made the transition from teaching hitting , fielding and pitching as the head softball coach to encouraging bumping , setting and spiking as the newly appointed volleyball coach. Having a new coach took a toll on the players. "It was hard. One reason was that we had to rebuild our team after losing the seniors from last year," junior Dayna Jensen said . Many adjustments took place during the volleyball season. Varying from a small amount of players to a new head coach. The amoun t of players for volleyball definitely decreased from the previous year. Not many students were trying out fo r voll eyb all , be cause of coaching problems they were havin g. The administrative office decided on a new he ad co ach at the en d of the su mmer. No summ er practi ces took place, wh ich hurt the team .

'fall 'Jntramurals By Kristina Congdon Fall intramurals started once again for students. Some of the fall intramurals included ping pong, bowling and badminton. The most popular intramural was bowling, compared to the 1970's and early 80's when volleyball was the most popular. "100 to 150 students would show each night," Physical Education teacher Sharon Semler said. With bowling as the most popular intramural it was moved up to two times a week with only certain grades on each day. The first day, freshmen and sophomores had their chance to bowl and on the second day juniors and seniors bowled. Even though there were two days of bowling, with it split among grades, there were still over 150 people each day. "Bowling was very popular, we had great turnouts," Semle r said . "It's hard to get all the kids into one bowling alley but we got it done. " "I like intramurals, it keeps me busy and out of trouble," senior Tyler Tedesco sa id, "I also think it's a lot offun. " Tedesco went to a least one of every intramural that was offered. Three years ago Te e Jay resurre cted it's intramura l program.

Sharp was nominated to participate in the Down Under International Games by an anonymous person. She was the only one from the Abraham Lincoln swim team , and one of two from Iowa to participate in the event. The trip cost $4, 000 and was 14 days long . · "I didn't raise that much money so I had to pay for most of it," Sharp said . She spen t 10 days in Australia and fou r days in Hawaii. While in Aust ralia Sharp co mpeted in four races . "My favorite part of the trip was the vacation part," Sharp said . "None of my family went so I made new friends on the trip ." "I had the ch ance to go to France Senior Crysta l Sharp dives off the block at the thi s up coming summer. I chose not to start of the race. Photo courtesy of Crystal Sharp . ., so I would have money for college ," Sharp added . Due to th e lack of swimmers Sharp swam with th e A.L. swim team . The season started in August and ended in November. These athletes practiced three hours every night. There was an increase on the team , but none from Tee Jay. This was difficult to accomplish without a pool. For about the first month of the season the tea m went to Lewis Central , Iowa School for the Deaf and Brownell Talbot to practice. When the team went to Brownell Talbot they practiced from six until nine at night. They also had a half hour drive there and back. Sharp has been involved in swimming all fou r years of school. Diving was her specialty for two years. She has earned numerous awards including Most Val uable Swimmer, All-Academic and AllAth letic Missouri Rive r Conference. Sharp was the MRC Champion in the 200 free style relay. lntramurals and Swimming 'Leadership '(urns Over By Amanda Fisher The 2002-03 school year started out with a new administration. There was a new administrative staff with the only exception being Mr. Cyle Forney who was back once again as Activities Director. With Warren Weber leaving in the 01-02 year, Dr. Steve Hardiman took over as principal. "I was so very honored and excited. I felt it was going to be a great experience," Dr. Hardiman said. Dr. Hardiman was here teaching Biology from 1975-1981 and a year later as assistant principal until 1994. Then Hardiman was the principal at Woodrow Wilson Junior High School for five years. "In looking at the school itself, it is twice as big as Wilson Junior High and always has a lot going on. In some ways the two schools are the same. They both have great kids, great staff and a great community," Dr. Hardiman added. Ninth and tenth grade Assistant Principal Mike Johnson came to Tee Jay for a chance for professional growth. He had responsibilities of giving students discipline, watching safety issues and supe rvising school events. He also handled referrals, checked on student attendance, talked to parents and worked with teachers on a slow day. "I enjoyed coming to work everyday and 95 percent were very nice , respectful kids, " Mr. Johnson said. Halfway through the year DeAnn Nichelson received a promotion to the Tucker Center leaving a vacancy as assistant principal. "For a couple of weeks I had all of the duties to take care of," Mr. Johnson added. Social Studies teacher Todd Barnett took over Mrs. Nichelson's position. He handled referrals, lunch duty, monitored the halls during homeroom and projects for keeping kids in school. "One of the good things about my job is that majority of the kids are great. When they make mistakes, they are willing to take the consequences ," Barnett said. Dr. Hardiman takes over Mr. Warren Webe r's position as principal. Photo by Kristyn Yearington.

New Administration 'Leaders of the 'j>ack By Crystal Sharp Student Council and the National Honor Society are only two of many organizations that represent the student body and volunteer their time to the community. Mr. Mark Brown was the Student Council sponsor during the year. Student Council President was C.J. Carlson, and he says that being involved in student council is an important responsibility. "Becoming involved with Student Council requires a showing of interest in representing the student body, giving a speech, and being voted into the organization by your peers. Student Council's main focus is to listen to suggestions students have that could boost school spirit and make school more enjoyable," Carlson said.

"Activities can be time consuming and very stressful, but overall being a member is fun ," senior Amanda Tuttle said. Student Council represents the student body by helping accomplish perks for students. "We do this so students may enjoy and have a great high school experience," Tuttle also commented. The National Honor Society was an academic organization co-sponsored by senior counselor Nancy Hale and history teacher, and school-to-career coordinator Deb Goodman. "To become a member you must have a GPA of a 3.5 or higher, been involved with community service , have good character skills and show good leadership skills, " NHS president C.J. Carlson said. NHS provides nonprofi t community service and beneficia l activities for students. Activities usually took place on weekends. "Although some activities are super fun , others are tedious, but in the end everyone has a good time and gets to learn new things . We've gone to Hitchcock Park to help with environment cleaning, counting inventory at Hy-Vee, and helping with the food drive. It makes you feel good knowing you helped out and made a difference, " senior Nicole Wilson said. 1 National Honors Society members included: Front row (from left): Scott Mcintosh, Jo Ann Carlson, Sara Zika, Lynn Schultz, Kasey Roberts, Tricia Myers, Jennifer DeLong and Racheal Donahoo.

In the end , the princess and prince got married and the queen became mute. The original dates of the musical had to be postponed due to senior Jason Delong's emergency appendectomy. Delong played the lead in the play as Prince Dauntless. Drama Instructor Mary Theresa Green thought that the play went very well, even with Delong's emergency. "It would of broke my heart if the students didn 't get a good audience for both performance dates. They deserved a ful l house , and a lot of clapping, " Ms. Green added .

There were so many activities and preparations, that it will stick out as one of the high points of the year. One major part of Homecoming week was the Homecoming Carnival. The carnival was the last big event of the week, before the dance . A lot of hard work went into putting the carnival together. Student Council played a role , as they got all of the activities and different organizations involved. The students on Student Council had to put a lot of hard work and a lot of time into it. "Advertisement was a lot of the success. As for it getting started, we had to go through the administration, get city permits, and be organized," senior Amanda Tuttle said . Much of their time and effort was spent on the carnival and the dance. Much of th e s uccess of the carnival depended on what the students thought. Many students seemed to enjoy it, making this year's a success. "It was fun to take a break from school , it's something different that we don't usually do," senior Alan Smith said. There were many things to keep students busy, and getting out of school early also helped kids enjoy the event. Many organizations participated in the selling of food and having games. Some sold candy, pizza , cookies and food from the Beehive. Yet, among all of this, there were still a few things missing from last year, like the joust and the band . Many students wished there would have been a band at the carnival again . Despite some of the missing aspects from the carnival , it was an overall success. Many students showed up and enjoyed the day's activities, but what did Student Council think? "I do believe it was a success because, for the most part, everyone got along while we were setting up and a lot of students showed up, " senior Carly Konecny said. So, in the end , the hard work paid off, and everyone had a good time.

There were 10 new teachers which joined the school. "I wanted to come to Thomas Jefferson because I was interested in working with the students in this area. I also like the old building. The teachers and students are great to be around, and Thomas Jefferson is a fun place to be, " Drama teacher Mary Theresa Green said. Mrs. Green was, a former teacher and actress at the Omaha Rose Theatre, and was also a professional actress for 10 years. "I like the effort most Thomas Jefferson students put into everything they do. On the athletic field or in the classroom , I think our students put forth a lot of effort, " Government and History teacher Nate Noon said . Aside from one year of student teaching , this was Noon's first year ru nning the show alone . "I really enjoy working with the kids each day, and building relationships with stu dents th at wi ll last a lifetime ," journalism teacher Devin Schoening said, "I love coming to work each day." Schoening graduated from Thomas Jefferson in 1995. Some teachers joined Tee Jay staff to be closer to their home or families. "I left my previous job teaching at Riverside High School in Oakland to be closer to my family here ," freshman Science teacher Chad Kavars said, - "most of the kids at Tee Jay are wonderful people ." Kelly Duffek was a Thomas Jefferson graduate , moving here from Millard Public Schools. That way Duffek would be closer to home . "I'm excited to be here, Tee Jay is a good place to be," Duffek said. Other teachers that were new were: Art and Ceramics teacher Steve Peters, freshman Social Studies teacher Pamella Crawford, Reading Recovery teacher Sandie Smith, Family and Consumer Science teacher Cathy Straub and Special Education teacher Jay Conyers.

New Teachers C6elebrations By Sarah Schroeder Halloween and Thanksgiving are both holidays celebrated in the Fall. Each holiday consists of eating some kind of food and having fun. Sophomore Craig Gates spent his Halloween by staying at home eating candy and watching horror movies . "I love scary stuff and candy, of course . As a kid I was fascinated with monsters, so I guess it was just a childhood thing, " Gates said . Some students went trick-ort reating and some even passed out candy. Other alternatives were haunted houses and hanging out with friends. "I went to a haunted house, and this guy that worked there , popped out from behind me and made me scream in front of everyone! " junior Sarah Thayer exclaimed . "Me and a bunch of friends went to Ronicca Whaley's house and her mom cooked dinner for us , after that we went to Hummel Park," junior Jenna Dostal said . Thanksgiving , on the other hand, was Dostal 's favorite holiday of the two. "I love Thanksgiving because I get to eat a lot of food and get together with people," she added. On Thanksgiving , most students got together with family. Being with family was an important necessity around the holidays for most students . Some students had to travel far while others didn't need to. "I got together with my family, but I didn't have to travel very far, it's just up the hill from my house ," junior Angela Olmstead said. "I met relatives I haven't seen in a long time on Thanksgiving . Getting to see them on both holidays was even better. Spending time with my family is always fun , we love to play jokes on everyone," junior Patricia Wilson said . Although there were many ways to describe how the holidays were celebrated , Gates summed it up best when he said , "I love scary ghouls and yummy treats , but a good tu rkey bird can 't be beat. " Thanksgiving consisted of many different types of food. Some things may just be tra dition. Photo by Sarah Schroeder. Sophomore Craig Gates scares away onlookers with his Halloween mask.

The Academic Decathlon is an association of stage programs dedicated to recognizing and rewarding academic achievements and excellence in high school students. The students studied a series of materials covering subject areas including: art, music, mathematics, essay, interview, economics , social studies , super quiz , language and literature .

The Regional competitions were made up of many other Iowa teams, which were purely academic decathlon state teams. The top 12 schools out of 50 schools then went on to compete at the state competition . Thomas Jefferson was ranked 13 this year, and it was the first time they did not go on to the state competition . The students won many individual awards at the regional contest. Despite narrowly missing a trip to state by one place, the team thought they preformed well. " I had a great time this year, besides the fact that we didn't make it to state ," junior Jenna Anderson added. "I know we will do better next year, with most of the people coming back," Coach Ida Jessen stated . AcDec group photo. Bottom Row: (from left) Mark Christopher, Justin Hannon and Jenna Anderson .

When the students were not at the hospital they are at class learning about the human body and all its functions. "During class we went over the body system ," Amanda Lee said . They also learn about what happens with different diseases to the body. Classes were held at the Tucker Center and Iowa Western Community College.

"I enjoy the camaraderie that is built by the kids on the team , and the coaches . The boys learn a lot about life through basketball ," sophomore coach Devin Schoening said . "Hopefully they become more confident in what they are doing ," Schoening continued. "It's a fun sport to play anywhere and then the team part adds to it with the other players that you get to know better. We've come a long way in my four years and if nothing else we've been winning more games," senior Nick Heider said . The last game the team played was at home against Lewis Central in substate tourname nt action. The game went into ove rtime with Lewis Central pulling out a 59-56 victory. "I did not play very good aga inst Lewis Central. If I would have hit free throws we would have won . I will mi ss all the coaches and having a city game with everyone there and the crowd being loud," Story added. The boys were given a quote to gi ve the m moti vation throughout the season: "The man on top of the mountain , just didn't fall there ," Lutz finished.

Some people would consider playing an instrument something they could never do. The Tee Jay Jazz Band and Orchestra did it every day, practicing for important competitions and concerts throughout the year. The orchestra stepped up yet another level from the previous year _playing harder music , and pushing themselves to the limit everyday. They began the year working with freshmen, helping them learn new things they would need for high school and to help them ease into the change from Jr. High. Then the hard work began. They began preparing songs for state competition and working on music for All City. The orchestra did well , receiving good scores , having students who enjoyed the class and had good music to work with . They hope to do well again next year. The jazz band also had a very good year, starting rehearsals with a talented group of students who worked very hard . "Most of our practicing had to come on our own time , but we had full group rehearsal during early bird ," senior Nick Heider said. The i r early bird rehearsals went Tuesday through Friday, 7-7:45 a.m . All of this practicing apparently paid off with high scores at jazz festivals and going to state competition. These jazz students seemed to enjoy th e competition though, participating in many throughout the year. "We played at the A .L . Jazz Festival , the District Ja zz Festival and a concert with Wilson 's jazz band ," junior Doug Heider said . Both of these groups did extremely well receiving high ratings at things they throughout the year, going to state competitions , and having students go to the 2002 All State Festival. Both Ms. Copeland , who was the orchestra teacher, and Mr. Clark, who taught band and jazz band, were proud of what each group had accomplished, and hope to do well again next year.

By Brandy Pierson Junior Sarah Walck dribbles past the defense. Photo by Devin Schoening. ., The girls basketball season was like a roller coaster as they experienced a number of ups and downs, and highs and lows. Illnesses , injuries, a car accident, Saturday morning practices and losses led to a number of downfalls but the ups are what held the team together. "The team had a lo t of togetherness. We worked hard as a team with effort and that 's how we each did our job," freshman Val Robinson said. The theme for the year was effort, perseverance! "The theme really fit the girls well this year. In every game they went out there with effo rt and perseverance," Coach Jack French said . The team really pulled together during games. Coach French said that having the two Sarah's (Walck and Martin) getting hurt and sick contributed to the teams struggles. Besides illnesses like the flu and colds, rolled ankles and jammed fingers also added to the low part of the season . "During the j.v. game, the trainer thought I just jammed my pinky so I fini shed the game and the varsity game. I played and practiced five days after it happened until I went to the doctor and there they told me I broke my pinky and needed surgery to correct it," junior Ashley Hansen said . Though the team struggled on the downside there was also an upside. "We all got very close . We got along great and that's what makes a good season," Robinson said. Hansen said , "An upside to the season was we all were good friends. We all got along." Saturday practices were a big downer but much needed during game weeks when practice was only two or three days. Their hard work helped them beat six teams during the season which included Gross and Woodbine. The team will be hard-pressed by los ing their leaders which included seniors Rachel Nagunst and Sara Brown. Hansen said , "Even though we lost, we got better every game ."

Dance, and sing at the same time? A feat not many could achieve, but two groups of talented students did that throughout the school year and at every performance they gave. These show choirs worked very hard resulting in high scores at state and high scores at other performances. The first of these two groups was Second Edition , which was the younger of the two show choirs , consisting mostly of freshmen and sophomores. They began the year learning music during rehearsal time on B days during second hour. Later, after the music was mostly learned , the choreography began. Learning choreography was sometimes hard, but the young group kept with it, resulting in a very good year. They received a two rating (excellent) at state and performed extremely well at the UNO Show Choir Competition and other competitions during the year. The second group was Jefferson Edition , better known as "J.E." This group was the older of the two consisting of juniors, seniors and a few sophomores . They started much the same as Second Edition , learning music during rehearsal time wh ich was sixth hour on A days and then later learning choreography. They worked hard ' receiving a one rating at state (superior) and receiving the highest score T.J . has ever received at the UNO Show Choir Competition. Students enjoyed what they did in these groups. "After working on music and choreography for months and seeing the show finally come together at a competition is the best feeling you can get from show choir, " said junior Whittney Wilson. The director, Jerry Gray, was also extremely happy with the year. When asked what he enjoyed most abou t working with show choir he said , "The enthusiasm that the students show when they are performing. They do it for T.J . and are proud of their school.

Swing Choir Wrestlers had to learn many different moves and techniques to be able to win matches during the year. Having some escpability was a must for any wrestler who wanted to be successful. Wrestling was one of the toughest sports physic ally which athletes could be involved in. One had to be tough and condition ed to be successful on the mat. Athletes were often times put in "uncomfortable" positions during a match. Sports While numbers dwindled for t he wrestling team, the members which remained on the team t ook pride in making t he team as g ood as it could be. Coach McGinnis and his staff did an excellent j ob at preparing the team for each and every match. Junior Shea Minor battled hard all season, and his hard work paid off with a trip to the State Wrestling Meet. "ard works sets tempo By Kristyn Yearington Sophomore Dane Christensen worked hard during the season . Nothing but a few feet of mat separates you from an angry kid who is there for no other reason to slam your body into the ground ... repeatedly, so it takes a lot of preparation to get ready for a wrestling match . "To get prepared for a match we had to warm up by jogging around the mats, stretch out and practicing moves on each other, " sophomore Derek Kessler said. There's a lot more involved in a match than just two guys tossing each other around. There are rules to follow and moves to plan. "You have to be able to think quick on your feet, since you don't know what your opponent will do and you also must be able to plan out attacks and counter moves," senior Adam Daniels said . Quick thinking , good planning and hard work is what got Shea Minor and Bryce Carruthers to the state wrestling meet. "It took a lot to make it though the season to State. I trained hard all year and tried not to miss any practice and Coach McGinnis was a big help and motivation ," Minor said. All the hard work throughout the year did pay off at the tournament. "I thin k Shea and I did pretty good at state, but I also think we could have done better," Carruthers said . "I think this year was better than last year because we worked harder and the coach really motivated us to do ou r best," senior Aaron McFarland said. Th e wrestling team wo rk ed extremely hard during the season in a grueling sport, and Coach McGinnis was proud of his team. "We had a great year and it would have been even better if we had had a larger team. The team put in a great deal of effort and hard work and I'm very proud of their accomplishments this season," he said.

The year was filled with shows, trips, inductions and the Tommy Awards at the end of the year. Throughout the year the Drama department put on three shows. In the fall they put on "Once Upon a Mattress". In the winter and spring they preformed two one act plays, "Cards of Fate" and "Hard Candy", and also gave a performance · of "Charlotte's Web". The Drama Department did a tremendous job , and received good reviews for the performances they showcased. Then came the Thespian Convention which was in Indianola, Iowa on Nov. 15 and 16. The convention is one of the highlights during the year for the Thespian Troupe. The students went to the convention to learn new ways to do things on stage and ways to be a better thespian. At the convention, the students went to three shows, workshops consisting of improv, dance and stage craft, and also had a relaxation workshop. "The relaxation workshop was the best. Almost everyone fell asleep! " 1 senior Kourtnee Jewett said. I There was also speech competition, which was held in Ames , Iowa. Here students could participate in large group contest, which consisted of one act plays and readers theater, or they could do individuals, which consisted of monologues. Students performed for individuals, but no one made it to All State, which is a very hard thing to make. The Tommy Awards were the highlight of the year for many students in the drama department. It was a time to relax and have some fun, while recognizing those students that showed hard work and dedication to the department. Many students went home with an award. The thespians worked hard this year, giving there all in every performance and group activities. They had a great year, and they all hope to have another great one next year. "'J like eck said.

The band was selected to go to Disney World and march in their 1OOth anniversary parade. "It was fun marching in the parade, but it was so ho t ," sophomore Jean Carlson said. Some of the amusement parks that the band was able to visit were The Magic Kingdom , Epcot and Universal Studios. There was a catch along with all the amusement parks. The band had to make time for learning. They took a workshop where they were able to play some Disney songs and put it with the movies that they belonged with. The band will try to return to Disney World in 2006. "'Jt was the first and last time that my whole family was involved in any of our performances," senior '8oltrane '8arlson said.

" Track takes guts , self-esteem, courage and most of all confidence according to junior Amber Hanner. "Being fast or strong doesn't matter to us, having confidence in yourself and others is what makes the Tee Jay girls track team a team," Hanner said. 'The coaches and the rest of the girls are really great people to get to know. You get to build friendships and you get to be able to represen t your school. Practice and meets are fun, it's awesome to be a part of a team," senior Crystal Sharp said. The girls track tea m was lucky enough to be coached by math teacher Pat Nepple. Assistant coach was biology/ zoology teacher Lori Willi ams. "I enjoy working with a great grou p of kids with positive attitudes and a will ingness to make themselves better. You don't need to be a great athlete, just a great person ," Nepple said . "Nepple is a great coach. He's more than a coach, he is a good fri end, someone to look up to," senior Krystal Hansen said . Quotes are given to the members of the track team to give them motivation while they are running. The quote was "a dream is a goal with a fin ish line." "This quote makes me realize that no goal is unreachable," Hansen added. "You have to have a positive attitude, you have to believe you can do it. You also have to be willing to work for what you want," Sharp added. "I like the feeling of competing with other people . I also liked meeting new people," senior Tracy Thompson said. Thompson was the only four year senior participant. "I think that anyone can pa rticipate in t rack . It is very important if they believe in themselves and to never g ive up, " T hompson concluded .

Both boys and girls ' tennis seasons last from March to May, which does not include preseason conditioning. The girls tennis coach was Matt Connor while the boys were headed by Jack French. "I enjoy seeing a you ng athlete learn a new skill . Also, with tennis, you get both the individual and team accomplishments, and they rel y on each other," Connor said . This was Connor's second season at Tee Jay. "I expect them to be competitive in every match, and that each player will improve and be a better tennis player and person by the end of the season ," Connor added.

The boys soccer team did an excellent job all around during the year. From working together as a team to winning games. One big accomplishment the team had was winning the Tee Jay Classic. "I have played all four years of high school and this was the best yea r. Our team was really close, we hel ped each other learn and had lots of fun. Most of the kids learned not to kick the ball up and down the field , but the concept of switching the ball across the field . I'm really excited to pl ay college soccer next year," senior Hector Martinez said. From broken bones to sprained ankles , there were many injuries throughout the year. The practices were hard and tested the athl etes endurance and stamina . "Practices we re hel pfu l because we practiced team shape. It was really nice that we had a coach who has played before, so he put a lot of pressure on us which helped us out. It was awesome beating AL in a shoot-out. "Thi s se as on was a learning process for a lot of people because we had lost so many players from last year, we had to fill many spots. To my surprise we turned out better than we did last year, " sophomore Jake Smith said. There were a few really funny excuses the boys used this year to get out of going to practice. One excu se sophomore Justin Gill used was he had to take his little brother and they're herd of sheep to the fair. "All-in-all it was a great season. Through the good times and bad times, I had a great time and I improved my soccer skills. I'm really going to miss all th e guys," senior Chris Story said .

"You always have to watch out for a ball coming at you ," sophomore Katie McGregor said. The boys and girls golfers often shared courses throughout the season. The girls mainly played at the nine hole , par three course , Westwood . Whereas the boys played at the full length course at Dodge. Many accomplished goals at the two courses. "I had a goal this season to have a farther drive. I might not have reached it but I'm still prou d of my performance, " Thomas said . Dodging balls and goals made the season good but the improvements made it great . "T here was not iceab le improvement from the return ing players. Last year we barely had a medalist but this year we had seven or eight medalists," coach Sharon Semler said . A big improvement from last year was both teams were more competitive. "We did well in every event we were in because we were competitive. We went out there, dedicated and focused," Semler said . "We improved from last year definitely. Nine guys played in the first five spots and each time everyone played well ," coach Wayne Mains. The hard work and experience really payed off when the teams beatA.L. fo r the first time in some 20 yea rs . "Beating A.L. and tying w ith them in districts was another thing that made the season awesome," Michelle Paulsen said. "It was a great part of the season when we beat A.L.," sophomore Andrue Flatt said. Overall , the season proved that with improvement and lots of hard work , you can achieve anything.

Students wonder what TWIRP stands for. The word stands for 'The Woman is Required To Pay. ' "The ladies shouldn 't have to pay for anything , the guy should always pay,"sophomore James Smith said . Some guys didn't agree with that though. The theme for TWIRP was Saturday Night Fever. "Twirp was fun , and it was funny when the little.short kid carried a chair arround and gave all the girls lap dances," junior Ashley Lanegan said. For the freshman class , court w inne rs were Sean Johnson and Courtney Uhl. "I was surprised when I won court, I really wasn 't expecting it but I didn't ca re because it was just me and a bunch of my friends," Johnson said. For the sophomore class court winners were Dane Christen sen and Stacy Cunningham . Junior class winners were Joe Ki lbane and Ashley Dib. "I wasn 't really surprised it didn't really matter to me if I won court or not. But I guess I was happy that I did ," Dib said. As for the seniors, Tom Hensley and Tara Stevens were voted king and queen. "I was really surpri sed when they said my name, but it was really cute that Tom got king . It was special," Stevens said. With the refreshments and dancing , many watched the crowning of TWIRP court. The annual TWIRP dance was held March 8, from 79 p.m. The cost of the dance was $5 for singles and $8 for couples . The dance consisted of many events from years before , but some seemed to enjoy it. ·"The ?O 's theme was very cool. Everybody who dressed in ?O's clothes looked almost as good as me," junior Aaron Nevins said. TWIRP week was quite normal , not all crazy, not many partici pated .

TWIRP '6hallenging 'Year for ~ournalism By Emily Hanneman Deadlines, interviews and writing stories were just a small portion of what the newspaper and yearbook staffs had to do. To start off the year the yearbook and Newspaper staffs both went to a journalism conference at Briar Cliff College in Sioux City. While they were there they learned a variety of techniques in writing skills and story ideas. "I learned . a lot of helpful tips for the yearbook this year," senior Sarah ry1cVey said. Something new this year for the newspaper staff was changing the old newspaper, The Signal , to a magazine called the Hodgepodge. The Signal can now be found online . Many people were probably wondering about the change from the newspaper to a magazine. "I think that, especially with a new adviser, Junior Scott Sparr works on the computer to complete his story.

The Signal is not gone though , it is now found online. "On the website, www.thesignal.com, there are the stories and features which we cannot fit in the HodgePodge magazine due to a lack of resources. Also on the site , there are special features worth taking a look at," Sparr explained . The editor of the yearbook was senior Sarah McVey. The yearbook class decided on a theme and layouts at the very beginning of the year. Throughout the year the class worked hard on writing their stories and getting pictures taken . The yearbook staff also worked extra hard on writing stories, taking pictures, and meeting deadlines. "Making sure all of my stories were done by the deadline was a challenge ," senior Rebecca Kueh n said. With the new magazine , the Signal Online and writing stories made the year extra busy for the journalism classes. In the end , it all turned out great for both classes . Seniors Sarah McVey and Rebecca Kuehn concentrate on completing their stories. Photo by Emily Hanneman.

Photo by Keith Pebley 'Jn C8hoir By Jenny Dingman The choir department consisted of approximately 220 students that were involved in three of the different kinds of choirs; Freshman/Sophomore Varsity Choir, Mixed Choir, and Concert Choir. Mixed Choir was the only one of the three that does not require auditions. Auditions for Varsity Choir and Concert Choir were held at the end of the school year before the choir started. For incoming freshman wanting to participate in Varsity Choir, auditions were held at Wilson Junior High during late April and early May. Auditions for Concert Choir were held in March at Thomas Jefferson. Varsity Choir was only open to freshman and sophomore students while Mixed Choir was open to everyone excluding freshman. Mixed Choir mainly put on performances for friends and family usually in the evenings in the choir classroom. Concert Choir was a year long class offered for juniors and seniors that were only admitted with a satisfactory audition . The teacher, Jerry Gray, made a big difference in choir members , "If it weren 't for Mr. Gray I don't think I would be in choir, " junior Misty May said . Choir proved to be an activity for students that really enjoyed music and having a teacher with the same standards was encourag i ng. "The teacher was great , he had so much passion for his job and his students ," senior Jason Vermule said . They participated in the All-City Concert and two contests/competitions. The All-City Concert consisted of students from Lewis Central , Abraham Lincoln , and St. Albert. There was a small group contest between Tee Jay, A.L. , L.C ., and Souix City held on April 12th. The large group contest included only T.J., A.L ., and L.C. and it was held on May 10th. The concert choir perform to the audience with their new accompanist on th e piano. Photo by Keith Pebley.

But certain privileges are given just to the seniors. Those priveleges included short day, not having to take the ITED tests, getting out earlier in the year, and not having to come as early as the rest of the students. Senior Brandy Haynes belongs to that group of seniors that doesn't have to come to school as early as everyone else. "I can get a lot of things done in the day for school, " Haynes said. The end of her school day comes sooner than most. "Short day gives me a chance to get more things done in one day," senior Whitney Thomas said. The freshmen , sophomores and juniors have to take the Iowa Test of Educational Development, also known as the ITED test, whereas the seniors luck out and do not have to take them . "I am more on an adult level. I pretty much do what I want to. I work hard to make good choices, " senior Michelle Holmes said. "Short day gives you a chance to relax and you don't have to sit in study hall ," senior Sara Zika said . Many students end up sitting in an eighth hour study hall, but if you have short day you don't have to. Some may not have to come to school until second hour because they have a study hall first hour. Therefore, they get to sleep in just a little bit longer than many other students. Not every senior gets to enjoy these priveleges. If a senior has too many truants they could have any one of their priveleges taken away from them. If you are in your senior year but do not have all the credits necessary to be a senior you could get stuck doing the ITED tests again .

Skip day is an a lotted day where seniors skipped school an d for the most part hung out with their friends and just had an overall good time . With the teacher regulations about no credit for homework assigned and due on skip day, there are also some teachers that are pro skip day. English teacher Kristy Harris said , "I think it's a great way fo r seniors to bond. " In a somewhat joking tone, Mrs. Harris added, "I just wish there was a mandatory freshman skip day, if you come to school detention!" Parents had a different outlook on senior skip day and it wasn 't a very positive one. Chad Kavars , parent and science teacher, participated in skip day when he was in high school. "When I was in high school I went on senior skip day and my parents wouldn't call me in but I went out anyway." When asked if he would call his children in fo r an excused absence , "I wouldn 't call my kids in to skip school , I wouldn 't want them to do it at all ," he said . Some students were lucky enough to get excused by the ir parents for senior skip day. "Since I can't skip school I am having my mom call me in and I'll probably go shopping all day or just hang out with friends, " Marissa Bennett said. For many years seniors skipped school to get a days break from their last year in high school. Senior Nate Evans made plans to skip school for the event. "Some of my friends and I were going to go out to Big Lake and have a barbecue all day" Evans said . Students will be students, teachers will be teachers , and parents wi ll be parents , all the while life goes on . ceor ey 'R§dke 'Victor Cj>rosolow _9\ndy Cj>lambeck 9 amie Cj>eterson "'J wouldn't call my kids in to skip ceandice Cj>eterson school, 'J wouldn't want them to do it at all," Science teacher '8had CJ<§vars.

That was the saying on the senior t-shirts. Except for, they did let them out. But before that happened, there was a lot of planning. To get ready for that big day took 12 years of planning; especially during senior year. "I have kept up my grades, got my pictures taken, and planned my graduation party," senior C.J. Carlson said. "I've tried to get credits and validations ready. It takes a lot of time to get all of the loose ends tied up before you leave," senior Jenna Anderson said. Money was also a big factor. There were the invitations, cap and gown, prom , graduation parties and college application fees. "It seems like the expenses never end, I've spent $500 so far," Anderson said. Scholarships helped with college expenses, but filling out scholarships took a long time. "I've applied for 20, but it seems like a million ," Anderson said . Leaving high school was expensive, but it also stressful , at they planned for the next step in their lives. "Trying to get into the nursing program at Iowa Western Community College, and trying to keep my grades up and staying focused on school is definitely stressful ," senior Tracy Thompson said. After all the years in the Council Bluffs Community Schools, there were many things that seniors missed . "I will miss my friends, cross country and track along with my coaches," Thompson said. After all the stress, expenses and the things seniors will miss, in the end it was worth all the time spent and the memories will remain with them forever. Now they can say that they graduated and they did let them out. 9'ennifer 'J"illman 'Tracy 'Thompson 'Whitney 'J"homas Cj>amela Stubbs "'J"here is really no way to rush to get cBrian 'J"omayo scholarships because there is a deadline.

Post Prom Seniors ~onored By Emily Hanneman It's the day when the seniors are honored for their achievements and academic accomplishments. This day is known as senior honor day. Scholarships were handed out during the ceremony for a variety of different things, and in a variety of different areas. The main reason for having senior honor day is to acknowledge seniors on their final days of high school, and for them to get scholarship money to help make college more affordable. The scholarship·s awarded ranged from 100 dollars to full ride scholarships. The scholarships received varied from academics to military and even places of work. "I got a scholarship from the zoo which was cool , but the one I got from my college was cool because I received itfor being so good in high school," senior Tarynn Schettler said . One of the highest paying scholarships handed out was the Mina Harsch Musiip which was $2,000. The recipients of the scholarship were Heather Allen and Kourtnee Jewett. The Peter Kiewit scholarship was awarded to Dawn Carter. The Iowa West Foundation also awarded a number of students with excellent scholarships which totalled $20,000 ($5,000 a year/four years) . Recipients of the Iowa West Scholarship were Breanne Hedrick and Nick Heider. Most seniors were excited about senior honor day, but others were also ner-Vous. "I was totally nervous, I knew I was going to be called up and my legs were shaking, " Schettler said. One award given at senior honor day was the Don Moxley award , given to the two students who have shown the most improvement in attitude and attendance since their freshman year. The two students who received this award were Stefan Carmichael and Whitney Thomas. Students were also honored for their participation in extracurricular activities. Senior honor day ended by the band playing and the class of 2003 filing out of the new field house one last time. Senior Jennifer OeLong smiles after receiving one of her many scholarships on the day. She received a $4, 000 scholarship ($1 , 000 per year/four years) from Bluffs City Lodge Nursing Scholarship.

Senior Honor Day 91ew C§rads, 91ew tplace Story by Tammi Pruett and Jenny Dingman The ?9th graduating class graduated on Sunday, May 25 , 2003 at 7:00 P.M.. The Commencement was held at the new Mid-America Center. The senior class sponsors were Mrs. Joyce Schaefer and Mrs. Nancy Hale. Among the 213 students that graduated , the Salutatorian was Breanne Hedrick and the Valedictorians were Jenna Anderson, Rachel Donahoo and Elizabeth Mawhiney. Everyone wan.ted to recognize the parents for helping their students get there and they also recognized the teachers for helping the students get to where they are. One quote that was mentioned a few times was by John Martel , "Always follow the truth wherever it leads you." Graduation day signified the end of homework and teachers in high school for the seniors for the rest of their lives. T he student symposium speakers were Jenna Anderson , Racheal Donahoo , Elizabe th Mawhiney and Coltrane Carlson . Graduation was, as in previous years, a long drawn out event that had many speakers which talked about important things that had happened throughout the year and memories to remember. Students would forever remember this years graduation because it was their own. The same topics were - discussed , the same procedure was followed , but to each graduate, it was a time they would never forget. The new Mid-America Center had a great outcome for graduations this year due to the areas high schools. Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln , and Kanesville held their ceremonies there all in the same day. Graduation after graduation , it was an emotional day for everyone . Hopefully in the years to come, commencement will follow this years tradition in being held at the new MidAme rica center. Families, friends , teachers and administrators were able to congratulate the class of 2003! At the end of th e ceremony everyone was filled with excitement when they began spraying silly string into the air. Photo by Michelle Paulsen.

Baseball Competitive Season Seen Stortj by Destyni Summer The baseball season was one of the most competitive of them all. The team saw a winning record of 27-13 . There were many times that they were down by two or more, but they w ould always come back. They w ould get ready for the game by going out and practicing on the field. One of the traditions was to listen to music before the game. If it was an a w ay game they would go into the dugout and listen to the music. If it was a home game they would play the music on the stadium speakers while they were out in the field practicing. Senior Brandon McDaniel said, "The way I get ready for the game is, I usually go off on my own and think about what I have to do, but after that I just mess around with iJ Sports the rest of the team playing bat games." "I Was proud of what we accomplished, but I think we could have done more," McDaniel said. Sophomore Shane Hollenbach said, " I just do the best that I can and go out and play." One of his favorite memories of the season was when they were at the Saydel Tournament and he hit two hom e-runs in one game. At the Dis trict Tournament they were up against LC, in the second round. They were down by two runs. It end ed w ith a score of 3-1 . It was one of the b e tte r games out of the District Tournament. McDaniel said, "It should of en d e d up b eing the Districts final game. It was better than any other game." Graduate Kyle Dillehay sprints to first base and tries to beat the ball before getting out. Photo by Crystal Sharp. Senior Troy Allen swings for another homerun.. Photo by Gretchen Heath.

Young Team Takes Over By Emily Hanneman One word that would describe the softball season was challenging. The season ended with Varsity 10-24 and J.V. 7-12-2. Withsuchayoung team most of the freshmen and sophomores challenged themselves to improv e in fielding and hitting. Since there were a lot of younger girls playing some of them had to be moved up to varsity. Sophomore Sarah Walck said, " I didn't feel intimidated being on varsity because there was another sophomore playing varsity and I played as a freshman too." The juniors, seniors and graduate Jessica Van Fossen also were challenged to be leaders and supporters for the younger girls. They also made improvements in the game. Walck said, "We definitely ff) Sports worked harder and showed more improvements than last year." The girls were expected to practice every day except for Sundays. This consisted of doing a mixture of both fielding and hitting. All the hard work paid off because senior Angie Bergantzel and Walck made second team All . Conference. Honorable mention went to seniors Jamie Perkins and Mikala Larsen. Then the All Conference Academic went to Perkins, Larsen, seniors Sarah Byers and Krista Bartholomew. Through out the season there were a lot of challenges to face. Coach Marla Peterson said, " They never gave up no matter what happened." So throughout the season the team never quit.

Photo Kristyn Yearington . Story By Brad Young btj The few days a year when the thought of a test, or a late assignment scares no one. Everyone in the class crams onto a big yellow cheese wagon. The days of field trips, an official school day where desks and chalkboards don't exist. Due to the budget cuts that were made by the school district, teachers were forced to eliminate field trips for sh1dents. Students were allowed field trips if they could fund the cost themselves. Field trips weren't allowed unless they were absolutely necessary. Teachers were not allowed to make the field trips mandatory due to the students funding the field t r ips themselves. " If students were not able to raise funds for the trip then the teachers couldn't penalize them for that," Principal Warren Weber said. With the budget cuis students could say good bye to the annual field trips . "Every year the physics and chemistry classes go on an end of year trip to Worlds of Fun. The trip will now have to be funded by the students, " senior Bill Callahan said. "Earlier this y ear m y Spor ts Marketing class w as supposed to take an annual trip to Lincoln t o v isit Memorial Stadium (Home of the Huskers). The trip was to be on a Monday, however the budget cuts w ere passed the Friday before," Marketing teacher Gary Bannick said.

This was somewhat of a career counseling class set in place of homeroom. "Focus was thought of to give students a little idea on where they want to head after high school," Principal Warren Weber said. "I think it was a good idea. It was set up to help freshmen know what they want to major in and where they want to head after high school," Mr. Weber said. Focus was worth a half credit per semester. Many thought this was a good idea since freshman needed twelve credits before they could become sophomores. "I like Focus class because it allows you to talk and discuss more. But I don't like it because of the worksheets we had to do," freshman Stacy Cunningham said. "I think the class is dumb but it helps with credits towards graduating and helps you get motivated for the future," freshman Troy Taylor said. " I think focus is a great class allowing students to be able to track their grades and progress," history teacher Kelly Boyle said. "It makes them aware of their future and in the long run will help with college applications and interviews," Mr. Boyle said. " The concept was a great idea helping students plan for the future," Special Education teacher Dan Strutzenberg said. " The main goal for the focus program is for students to graduate knowing what they want to do instead of being clueless, thinking what now," Mr. Weber said.

Photo by Kristi;n Yearington. Story By Ashley Elliott The class of 2005 had to work a little harder to graduate. "I don't think it will be that much harder for the students to graduate, but it will get them better prepared for college," counselor Karla Hughes said. Not only was there a jump in credits from 44 to 48, but the most significant change was in validations. Now five of the knowledgeable person validations had to be achieved while in the junior or senior year. One has to be achieved in math and the other two can be achieved in any class. The changes were brought before the school board last spring because many thought that it would give students more challenges. "The major concern was also the short day. Many officials thought students were given too much of a short day," counselor Nancy Hale said. "They should just have it all the same because everything got changed and it made it pretty confusing, " sophomore Ashley Raymer said. Not only did the class of 2005 get the credits and validations changed, instead of homeroom they have Focus. "Focus is stupid, it's like a 15 minute study hall because we do absolutely nothing," freshman Jen Morrison said. Focus was a class that helped the students cope with famil y, friends and school. "We really didn't do anything in Focus, but I guess it might depended on what teacher you had," freshman Matt Parrott said. "Why make the freshman get more credits? What's the point? They're doing the same stuff we did," sophomore Tanisha Rhyne said.

Story By David Schwartz Have students ever needed some extra help with classwork? Last year second semester a new program developed to help students with their class work. Teacher Trudy Stevens and cotmselor Al Vandenburg thought of the idea to help students with student help. "It originally started to help Special Ed, but then turned out to help everyone," Ms. Stevens said. Senior Robert Lane has been peer tutoring the longest. "Believe it or not I actually enjoy helping my fellow students with whatever they need. It makes me feel like I actually accomplish something," said Lane. There are six peer tutors and about 20 students who received help. The numbers are starting to grow. Seniors Justin Jensen, Stacie Roe, Lane and jmuor Kara Malone are a few of the peer tutors who help all of the time. Students kept coming for the help and more students looked to help. " I enjoy the help it gives me a lot of extra time to mess around out side of school because I can get the majority of my home work done in school," senior Tommy Roush said. Almost any student could be a peer tutor but there were a couple of items they needed to have. " It takes a reliable, high head of dependability. It takes a person with a high level of confidentiality, well rounded and usually a good knowledge of the curriculum," Ms. Stevens said. " I wish I would of started tutoring earlier in high school. I would have liked to have been able to help people all through out high school," senior Justin Jensen said.

Photo by Kristyn Yearington. Story By Charlene Olmstead Getting the performance based assessments have been a rough deal. Many students believe that PBA's are something they don't need and others believe that they are beneficial. "I think that the PBA's help students use their thinking abilities, but in the long run are not too effective," senior Justin Uhl said. Having to get all the validations required to graduate sometimes took some people longer than others. "Although all my teachers offer equal opportunities some grade them harder then others and it is hard to get all the ones you need," junior Nick Carlson said. The time teachers allowed students to do their PBA varied from teacher to teacher. "I usually give my students as much time as needed but allow them to only work in class. This takes a week or so to complete the assessment," math teacher Evelyn Rock said. Some students have mentioned that other schools, do not require these performance based assessments and they disagree with that. " I think that since these are not required at other schools but are only at some, that these should not be required anywhere. They are kind of hard to receive and if you don't get all of them then you can't graduate," junior Amanda Heistand said. The counseling center offers PBA' s if students thought that they w ouldn't get them from all the teachers. "We offer many different performance based assessment and they are not that h ard to get. Many students have to get them from the counseling center because they wouldn't get them other w ise," said counselor Nancy Hale.

Story By Amy Brown During the few weeks before the winter break, students saw the Dickens Hallway gradually appear. Seniors in Jane Howard's English class used lights, construction paper, garland and wrapping paper to make the hallway look like England during the 18th Century. "The best part was just getting into the Christmas Spirit," senior William Callahan said. "I enjoyed working in Ms. Howard's class," Callahan added. Ms. Howard said, "I was not planning on decorating this year, but I looked at the hallway and thought what a mess." In the previous years seniors have been decorating the Dickens Hallway, they would decorate, the entire hallway. This year Ms. Howard decided to just have seniors decorate the corner of the hallway by the library because it got too expensive to do the rest of the hallway. The Dickens Hallway was up for three weeks for students to enjoy. "I liked the blue lights," senior Eric Nevins said, "It was cool and made the whole hallway blue." Some things were a little harder to do. "Summer Franklin and I were trying to move a piece of glass that is next door to the library and it fell out and broke, but it wasn't our fault because one of the earlier classes didn't have it locked back in place," senior Shena Schamp said. This was a big experience for some seniors. Some seniors looked forw ard to this since they were freshmen. "I have been looking forward to this since I was a freshmen I couldn' t wait to go out and help decorate the hallway it w as a lot of fun," senior Caiti Hiles said. Senior Stephanie Fichter agreed, " This was a lot of fun but it was a lot of hard work too." The classes also read the Christmas Carol and studied for quizzes, or wrote an essay over Victorian Holidays. "Instead of working out in the hall, I knew that there was an essay that was due so I ended up working on that in the library," senior Heidi Kimball said. Senior Kelly Brown agreed, " I ended up finishing the essay we did and then I read The Christmas Carol."

Cross Country Marching Band New Record and On The Top Story by Kristyn Yearington "It was more than a dollar and less than a million," said band director Dave Clark, referrin g to out," Mr. Clark said. "It's much more convenient, it's lower to the ground which the makes i t easier to get band's new trailer. The band's new trailer cost so me w here in the $5000 range. It took band and orchestra parents a few years of putting aside money fr om the craft fairs and other fundraisers to be able to afford it. The trailer was de cid ed u pon because the truck that the band h ad been using simp ly didn't have enough capacity to ho ld all the equipment that the marching b and needed. The tr uc k was only used about two months out of the year. Nine months out of the year the truck would just sit, and when needed it wouldn't run well. The inside of the trailer is completely customized . The work was done by band and orchestra parents over the summer. The parents used their weekends to put everything together. "The students really like it, it's a lot easier to get the equipment in and the heavier instruments in and out of the trailer than it was with the truck," senior Donnie Knickerbocker said. This trailer should prove to be a worth while addition to the band and orchestra's purchase list. Howe v er, the trailer wasn't the only outstanding product for the band this year.

Instead of a normal goal their goal was "Team Bonding!" "If you want to be the best, the first thing you have to have is teamwork and teamwork comes from team bonding," junior Janay Raim said. There were many different ways teams could develop good team bonding skills. "We tried a lot of new things. We went on a survivor hike outside of Council Bluffs from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. We did a lot of creative challenges which had to be completed as a team in a certain amount of time," sophomore Kara Vallinch said. "Anotheractivitywedid involved everybody picking a song that could represent or relate to teamwork, achieving goals, or how they felt about the season. I really enjoyed participating in this activity because it let us show how we \ iJ Sports felt and what we wanted to accomplish," Vallinch said. Having three returning seniors had a very big impact on the team's record. " The upperclassman were the nicesttheycouldpossiblybe, they were always willing to help or demons t rate something," sophomore Sarah Walck said. The team's defense kept the team going throughout the season. "If it wasn't for our defense we would have never made it that far. Our defense was our secret weapon. Since we really don't have much height we really had to depend on it," Coach Mike Bond said. After 12 years Coach Bond decided to hang up the nets. " I really don't know what to say. I have a lot of mixed feelings, but I will miss the ability to coach volleyball players," Coach Bond said. The team shows relieffrom a long day on their survival trip. Photo by Mike Bond.

The practices were exhausting and ran long through the days. The most glorious moment I had was coming out of the water after swimming a vigorous race to find out I've won the race," sophomore Allie Maguire said. Practices were on the weekdays everyday after school until about 6 p. m . There were approximately 20 girls on the combined swim team. Maguire and junior Crystal Sharp were the only two students who participated in the combined swim team from Tee Jay. Meeting new people was Sports an advantage to combining the three schools.

Swimming & Intramurals Cl) New Faces Appears In Old Places By Sarah Schroeder & Brittany Mowen; New Faces was a play for first time actors. It was a drama program that gave all grades a chance to act on the stage and try it out. Everyon~ who auditioned got a part whether it was an actor or on the technical crew. The pla y was Neil Simon's "The Good Doctor". The play was about a writer and each scene was a story he w rote. " If it wasn't for Ms. DeVore I w ould have never made so many w onderful fr ien d s and I wouldn't have gotten in v olv e d in tha t somethin g w ould stay with me forever," said senior Troy Matheny, who played the father in "The Arrangement". For some actors and ac tress es like juniors Anna Ferrin and Amber Jelen, it took only a week to memorize lines. "Before the play we all prayed together. I drank lemonade, did my hair and makeup, went over my lines and tried to talk quickly," said Ferrin, the crazy lady in "The Defenseless .Creature". "If I had the chance to act in another play, it would depend on how big the part is. It just takes time," said Jelen, who played an actress at her first real audition. Junior Jamie Thomas was the stage producer for the play. The set was already built but they had to paint it which took a couple of hours. Some problems came up during the performance. But in the end, they fixed ev ery thing and it went smoothly. Each scene had a different director, most of whom were experienced drama students. Freshman Vicki Jones said, " I think this was a very good experience ." Jones played the policeman in the "Drown ed Man".

New Faces By Ashley Elliott The National Honor Society created a new policy. New inductees had to undergo a year long introductory approval period. "I am very excited about be i-ng in National Honor Society. I now have a chance to prov e myselL to this school and this community," sophomore Lindsey Jansen said. "I think the new policy about underclassmen under going a year long introductory program is a good idea because it allows the underclassmen to prove themselves and it validates their induction into the National Honor Society," senior Stacy Roe said . To be a part of the N ational Honor Society stu dents must hav e h ad a grade point average of 3.5 or h igher, they must be a pers on of g oo d chara cter, must prov e leadership skills and must do community service. "The activities that you do while you are in the N ational H onor Society helps you maintain good le a d ership qualitie s," counselor Nancy Hale said. The Nation al Honor Society does a lot of projects including many individual projects that need to be done by each member. One of the group projects included blood drives. The individual projects included Boy Scouts, community volunteer work, volunteering at nursing homes and at the homew ork help line. The National Honor Society had two blood driv es. The first one was held in the New Fieldhouse on Dec. 20 and the second blood drive was held on Apr. 4. Another organization that was involv ed w ith the community was the Student Cow1cil. This group planned the Homecoming activities, organized the first flag football game, planned Snoball and held exchanges with other schools. "The exchange was nice since we got a chance to see how other schools op erate. I really appreciated w hat we had w h en I saw some other schools," P res id e nt Kris t a Bartholomew said. Student Council also organized an event for Halloween. "We d ecorated the hallw ay an d passed out candy to trick or treaters. There w as a wonderful turnout and we provided a safe Hallow een for m an y children. It was a great event, but we sp ent way too much money on d ecora tions. I h o p e th ey last for years," Bartholomew said.

N HS & Student Council Stuctlent By Lindsey Podraza As many of the teachers and students know, T.J. Today was a television program that took the place of Channel One News several times a month. T.J. Today consisted of 10 students, that came up with strange ideas for a show. "T.J. Today gave me evidence for the future to show my family and friends how I spent-my high school days," senior Brad Young said. "T.J. Today was a class that taught students the basic concepts of writing stories, on screen exposure, filming, editing and expressing general ideas," senior Robert Lane said At one time during the year Young mowed his law at 5:15 a.m., and drove a golf cart into the bushes at Shore Line golf course. "I enjoyed T.J. Today because it was fun and we got to see it because it went on television," sophomore Joshua Lee said. "The person that had the most "guts" out of the group was Young," sophomore Chastity Paladino said. T.J. Today usually filmed for about two hours, then took another two hours to edit, then add some music and it was done. All together it took about four hours to complete. The students that were in T.J. Today were, seniors Amanda Gunzenhauser, Troy Matheny, Darrell Chatterton, Tammy Hempel, and Brad Young, junior Holly Fritze; sophomores Cole Warrior, Joshua Lee, Billy Peck and Jesslynn Schneider. In the beginning of the year there was an agenda to have a live show. "The original show was to have a live show air at 7:50 a.m. for the kids in the student lounge," T.J. Today teacher Wendy DeVore said. Due to the budget cuts the live show idea was scrapped and the traditional show formula was brought back. T.J. Today had its share of controversial views. The original T.J. Today was more of a factual news format program. The show then changed to an entertaining comedy format. "The old show was to be totally factual, and informational, then when Ms. DeVore came to T.J. the show crew was able to be creative with ideas," graduate Jamin Fletcher said. "I enjoyed being able to do wild and crazy things that teenagers do to have fun. We tried to make the show more like something that would appear on MTV. What teens like to watch are shock shows. I think we provided that for them this year," senior Brad Young said. Editing was another skill that students learned. "I really liked to see all the raw footage turn into a completed edited piece. I provided the smooth transitions and fluency that each show require d. Sometimes the editors didn't get as much credit, as those on the screen," Gunzenhauser said. Senior Brad Young did many stunts during the filming of T.J. Today. Photo by Robert Lane. Senior Robert Lane does a stunt du ring the show.

This opportunity was very interesting for the journalism students as they visited Roosevelt Elementary School. The journalism students visited the school three to four time between Oct. 25 -Nov. 15. "The purpose was to form a connection between high school students and elementary children. It was a wonderful idea because it let the students remember what it was like in elementary school. They felt important," journalism teacher Deb Goodman said. "It was a good idea because they got frustrated when they were trying to read and we encouraged them to keep trying," senior Krista Bartholomew said. Journalism student teacher Devin Schoening came up with this idea for a literacy project for one of his college classes. He wanted high school students to mentor elementary students. "I decided to have the high school students do a newsletter to show the children's parents what the students accomplished with their kindergartners," Mr. Schoening said. The students had to interview the child they were assigned to. They asked questions such as their favorite color and their favorite thing to do. Then they wrote a news story about their child. All the stories were put in a newsletter and sent to the childrens' parents. On the first day the students visited Roosevelt, they brought their own books to read to the students . "I read 'I Swallowed a Fly' to my little guy, and it brought back old memories of elementary school," senior Brandon McDaniel said. Some other activities they did were writing their names and playing games. "The first time we were at Roosevelt we read them a book of our choice, and then drew a picture from the book w ith them," senior Ashley Cunningham said. "It was really cute listening to all the little kids talking about their boyfriends and stuff," said junior Heather Womochil. Senior Mark Flaharty had some negative feelings toward the experience. "I hated it. I never want to see kids again," Flaharty said.

Photo by Crystnl Shnrp. One of the many traditions at school for the past five years in teacher Mike Hale's Human Biology Class has been to make edible cells. Making the cells is a very informative task. "They have to apply and associate with what they have all ready learned," Mr. Hale said. The ability to use the knowledge gained from class and apply it is useful. "With applying what you learn and actually making something it helps you remember what you learned longer," Assistant Principal John Neil said. Mr. Hale also said, "The students seem to know more after making the cells then what they did before." The cells may be informative but they were also fun and could be eaten . Senior Ashley Cunningham said, "I was surprised at how much fun I actually had making it." However, along with the fun came a few minor disasters. "It was pretty fun but when we started putting it all together it got really messy, " junior Heather Womochil said. Another fun thing in making the cells was that they had a contest for best design. "We've been doing the contest about three or four years now," Mr. Hale said . In the contest there w ere three groups of winners. In this contest there w ere two groups that tied for first. The first group consisted of juniors Nicole Bridge and Josh Veitzen. The other group consisted of juniors Jamie Stiehl and Tiffany Gray. Third place winners w ere junior Dan Smith and senior Dustin Townsend. "It's really neat to see all the different designs that people came up w ith," junior Amanda Chase said. Even though the cells w ere edible many students choose not to eat them because of the d ifferent v arieties an d m ixtures of food . "We used pickles, b agels, ketchup, cake, crackers and a bunch of o ther ty pes of fo od," Cunningham said. There w ere also other types of food u se d as well. "I u sed cantaloupe, frosting, p eaches and lots of candy. We also u sed a few other things too," Womoch il said. So in Human Biology the tradition of the edible cells still lived on.

Creativity Takes Over Story By Sarah Mc Vey Imagine being in a class where anything created is considered art. This is what ceramics class was all about. In the first year of class art teacher Joe McNamara showed and taught different sculphires that could be done. Then the second year students perfected these techniques by working on more pieces. A miniature sculpture was the first project. "My first sculpture was of a Buddha," junior Claire Hothersall said. Making one of these meant a lot of class time and concentration, "It was really hard at first trying to make this brick of clay look like something," Hothersall added. Later on in the semester students made a large sculphire. Next was the wheel, where students made a pot out of a slab of clay. "This was m y favorite project to do because it's so fast. I also like to teach it for the same reason," teacher Joe McNamara said. Many failed but some succeeded on their first time. "I made a pot my first time," Hothersall added. "A slab project?" students asked . "Ye s," Mr. McNamar a said. A slab project is when students made squares out of clay and put the squares together to make a box. Then after putting the box together the students w ould u se a wire cutoff tool to cut a lid in the box. Students also made designs on the sides. Then the students spent two w eeks researching and creating a r ep ort . Students would compare two varieties of sculphires. Most used their computer skills to cre at e a pow er p oint presentation and some stayed w ith the essay. "I liked all the different things that students created because they w ere neat," Library Clerk Wendy Clayton said. Students projects w ere displayed in the library. Tw o weeks before Christmas break the pugmile, th e machine that recycles the clay, broke and the class shifted into craft m ode. Students made baskets out of yarn by wrapping different colors around a piece of tinch, a type of rop e. Studen ts also made shadow boxes. They cut out shapes of cardboard to look like the photo selected. Next they had to p aint the pieces and glu e them in the b ox w hich made the ph oto look 3D. "I made a bea ch scene," ju nior Nicole Wilson said.

Photo by KristynYearington. Food For All Story By Erin Flynn "Cooking is hm and I like to cook," junior Kristan Johnston said. Students had fun making different foods in foods class. One project the class worked on was finding recipes on the internet and out of cook books. This was to expand the students minds on different types of food around the world. International foods were a part of the curriculum. "We're doing international foods now and we decided to make different types of stews, pastas, cookies, muffins, tacos and drinks," said junior Amanda Geraets. The Foods 2 class did a PBA on international foods. They made Mexican foods. "We're making chicken tacos. I like ea ting them and making them is fun," Johnston said .. For a holiday treat students got to make holiday foods as well. The students liked learning how to make foods for the holidays. "They're the same, but there's no limit on cooking food," sophomore Josh Houser said. " We might m ake something for the holidays," Houser said. Another Project w as the Jacket Java run by the students in Foods 2 classes. "Jacket Java was running well, but the machine that makes the drinks broke," Stiehl said. Jacket Java ran before and after school. Some of the students who worked in Jacket Java enjoyed coming in early to serve students. "I like to make different types of muffins, cookies, etc.," Geraets said. Jacket Java serves muffins, hot cocoa, different cappucinos and pop tarts. "I am really bad at cooking and I really don't cook at home. This class showed me how to cook," Stiehl said. "I am really good at cooking," McKern said. Students enj oyed learning how to m ake different types of fo od s, w h ether international foods or foods for the holidays. The budget cuts impacted the foods classes. "I understand about why they did it. H owever, it makes teaching a lab class more interesting. Our budget w as cut, but we're finding a way to work with it," foo ds teacher Camelle Kinney said. The classes still found a ways to cook w ith a limited budget.

Photo by Kristyn Yeari11gto11 Story By Lindsey Podraza Thanksgiving was a time for students to be with their family and be thankful for what they had. Some families that were homeless or just didn't have much, sometimes didn't get that Thanksgiving dinner they dreamed about every year. The DECA class put on a can food drive to help brighten up Thanksgiving Day. The main goal for the food drive was 1,000 pounds. However, they only collected about 400 pounds. The food drive was between all the organizations in the school. The group that collected the most food won a prize of $50 cash. The can food drive began Nov. 7 and ended Nov. 16 . " It was nice that everyone helped out but there would have been a better turnout if there w as more participation," senior Ashle y Bigner said. The organization that collected the most cans was ASTRA. "We spent $100 on food. I went to the store and bought all the food and everyone was looking at me like I was crazy," senior Ashley Cunningham said. Another project that DECA did w as put a donation jar out at the Beehive for the incident on September 11 . "I didn't mind donating some of m y money to help the families in need. Right now they need it a little more than I do," senior Kelli Caddell said. The jar was out for approximately tw o w eeks. "It was kind of cool how students would throw 20's and 10's in the jar. Or if someone didn't have quite that much they would throw their left over change that they had," Bigner said. With all the money they collected they wrote one big check and sent it off to New York. Taking the time to help people in need and lettin g them enj oy w hat students get to enjoy every year proved everyone had a good heart. Whether it w as finding som e old cans sitting in the cupbo ard th a t someone could be enjoying or just giving away one ' s pocket change . "I think it is great of everyone to take time and h elp the families in need," DECA sp onsor Gary Bannick said.

Photo by Donnie Knickerbocker. Story By Amanda Fisher The baby think it over program changed many student's minds on getting pregnant at a young age. "It's very annoying and keeps you up all night," freshman Courtney Farmer said. This program was designed to try and help teens see the responsibility and consequences of parenting. There's a few things students had to do before they got to take the baby home. They had to have a permission slip signed by their parents, get all instructions on baby, and fill out a survey before and after. "This class is to show the responsibility of being a parent," teacher Linda Francis said. The baby records abuse, holding the baby's neck wrong,or if it cries more than one minute. "I don't like it. It cried every two to four hours," junior Jessica Pitt said. This program was designed to show the students how much commitment was needed to be a parent. Students could have the baby three to four days, depending on if they had it for a regular day or a weekend. Students recorded a diary from the time the care session started until th e session ended. This included w hat students were doing and described how they felt and how it effected others. "I hated it and I don't w ant kids until I'm old and gray," senior Angie Rockw ell said. Rockwell killed her baby. "I had m y baby for one full day. I took it home, and it was a good baby. It w as a cute baby. I worked the next day at 8 a .m. so I asked m y mother if she w ould be able to w atch it. She said sure. So I w ent to w ork the whole day thinking now I get to go home and see the baby. When I got home, it had a blanket ov er it. My mother looked at me and said she died . I asked how, and m y mother said she got the key stuck in her back," Rockw ell said," When the baby died, the first thing I had to do was go down to my computer and type up a death certificate and a list of the things we had for the funeral. I went and got m y birth certificate, copied it, and wrote the b aby's name in it so she would really be som eone . When I took it back to school, the teach er didn't know what to think. I tried to explain to her it wasn't m y fault. She didn't care and I failed ."

Snoball Concert Band Pep Band Pumps Up Crowds By Emily Hanneman When students thought of school activities, many that came to mind were sports, drama and organizations, but many probably didn't think about the concert band from the Fine Arts Department.

Jazz Band & Orchestra Choirs Swing To Music Get Into The Groove By Sarah Schroeder & Brittany Mowery Swing choir may have been a lot of singing and dancing, but it was also a great experience for students. Swing choirs were made up of Jefferson Edition and Second Edition. T h e i r performances consisted of pop and contemporary music w ith aerobic choreography. The music was chosen partly by the students and director Jerry Gray. "It was usually something from a musical or oldies," senior Cal Shadden said. T h e choreogra phy was practiced one night a week from the beginning of the school year to the end of November. There was also a summer camp that was four days long in which students ha d to attend. "Sometimes we practice so much that I could do the entire show in my sleep," sophomore Tiffany Weaver said. The choir had five competitions and a total of 10 performances. They performed at many different places including a nursing fsJ Fine Arts home. "We travel to as near as AL to as far as Sioux City," Shadden said. JE added _ tap dancing to their show. "I really liked being able to tap. I think it added variety to our performance. I also think that the crowd enjoyed it," senior Stephanie DeMare said. Another highlight to the show was a feature for the JE females. "We had umbrellas and sang It's Raining M en. We even had one of the men dress up like a woman for one part of the song. Everyone laughed at this one," sophomore Whittney Wilson said. "My favorite part about the swing choirs is the enthusiasm of the groups.

Swing Choir Choir Increases Not Just Ordinary Students By Jena Schuster When one thinks of the extracurricular activ ities in the school, the choir students are often times forgotten about. Many of the students in the Choir Department were. also inv olv ed in sports, drama and other school related organizations. There were three different choir groups that a student cou1d JOm . These were mixed choir, varsity choir and concert choir. Concert choir was the on ly choir that students had to audition for. Sen ior Caiti Hiles is in both concert choir and in mixed choir. " I like choir be cause yo u learn n ew son gs , some of the son gs are hard but it is furi, and besid es Mr. Gray is really nice," Hiles said. The three choirs were invo lved in many different things, not just concerts. The choirs competed in competitions, sang for elementary students and did fundraisers. Two students were chosen to be a part of the All State Choir. They were sophomore 'Whittney Wilson and freshman Shelly Rutz. "It was an experience of a lifetime," Wilson said. One of the fund raisers that the choir students did was sell hot chocolate to raise money for the trip to Worlds of Fun or the trip that w ould be taken in two years to New York. The hot chocolate was sold for $8 per canister, and a portion of the money went into the students' own account. "I sold the hot chocolate canisters for the trip to New York," Rutz said. Even though the trip to New York will not be taken for another two years the fres hmen . cho ir class es w ere still pushed to do the fund raiser to help out with the cost.

One activity DECA was part of was a can food drive. The drive was open J o all organizations. Each member of DECA brought in cans for the event. "I brought 20 cans of various food in," junior Kelsey Kermoade said. ASTRA won the event with $100 worth of cans. Senior Lindsey Podraza was coordinator of this event. DECA also ran the Beehive. Students were able to buy their lunch there. The Beehive was a place to earn a little extra cash for some students. Students that worked at the Beehive received $12 an hour and they worked two hours a day. While at state junior Sarah Schnider ran for p resident but unfortunately did not win. "My speech was really serious and the person after me wasn't. He even had some cheerleaders up with him," Schnider said. . Senior Becky Jolly won the Business Services and Marketing event which qualified her for nationals. This allowed her and sponsor Gary Bannick to travel to Salt Lake City, UT in A p ril. " I had a w onderful time," she commented. A new event was the remote car give away. Members hung signs up on the walls advertising the event as a new car give away. There was no purchase necessary and the names were drawn at random. "I thought it was funny I won because I was in DECA and we sponsored the event," Podraza said. Some students did not have the class but still participated in the activities. "I took two of the classes and just stayed involved," junior Kelsey Kermoade said, "I also went to a competition with the group." A new way to get the word out about DECA was a web page. Senior Donnie Knickerbocker designed the page which had a link through the school web page. "We made the web page to spread the word about DECA. I had fun when I put it together," Knickerbocker said. DECA linked the Beehive and the new web page together by posting a coupon on the page. Students and faculty could have printed it out and brought it to the Beehive and gotten 25 cents off of their purchase through the month of April.

There were many practices -throughout the summer which was a great benefit to the _ girls because it earned them a bid to nationals. "When I heard we had made it to nationals I was so excited because all the previous years we have never made it and this proved we really tried our best," junior Rachel Neill said. Nationals were held Feb.22-24 in Minneapolis, MN. The Dance Team learned a brand new routine to take to Nationals to show what they could do. There were many fundraisers held to help pay for all the expenses. One of their main fundraisers was the Porn Pon Clinic. "The kids' clinic w as a good experience. It was my first year and it was a lot of fun and it was well w orth it for the money," senior Ashley Bigner said. Halfway through the year the squad was introduced to a new coach Kerri Richardson. She taught the girls many new routines and a new style of dancing. " I feel Kerri was a great benefit to us because she was able to come and show us how to do technique," junior Kelsey Kermoade said. The dance team attended camp during the summer where they learned many different dances and met many different squads. Throughout the camp the girls received many ribbons for achievements. One of the ribbons was an All-American nominee. The winners were Neill and junior Heather Allen. "I couldn't believe I made it. I was so nervous, the night before I practiced so hard to memorize my steps and actually to make them up with help from Kelsey," Allen said. The girls took time away from stressful practices to do some bonding by holding a Secret Santa gift exchange. Each girl drew a name and bought a Christmas gift for the person they drew. The same day they all exchanged gifts and had a little fun. "Having Secret Santas was fun because buying for someone that I have never bought for before was interesting," junior Breanne Hedrick said. The dance team made improvements and brought a new style to the year. "I hope more girls try out as the years come to keep the good trend going and to build up the program to a higher level, " senior Lindsey Podraza said.

All year round the girls put in a lot of time and effort into making themselves the best they could be. "The year was pretty stressful and frustrating at times, but we all still worked really hard," senior Jill Shadden said. With the new addition of the competition squad the cheerleaders were forced to m~ke some big changes. "Camp was really weird and so were practices at first, but everyone got used to it after a while," junior Carly Konecny said. "Everything seemed weird for a while, because the freshman hardly had practice and there was no JV or freshman coach," sophomore Kendra Peters said. The competition squad consisted of 22 girls ranging from the freshman squad to the varsity. "A lot of people didn't like the mixing up of everyone, but it all turned out great, we were just a better team," sophomore Ashley Dib said. The competition squad competed at two competitions throughout the year and made it to Minneapolis, MN for the UPA National Competition. "I was really excited to go to nationals, we had an awesome routine and such a good chance, we were one of the best teams there," junior Tara Stevens said. The girls placed third at the Nebraska State cheerleading competition held at Ralston, and took first place at the 2nd annual UNO Spirit Explosion. "It was a really good feeling to take first after not doing very well at Ralston, " senior Sarah Byers said, "We knew we were good enough to do it." While at nationals the cheer team placed ninth in the varsity one division. "It was a disappointment after how well we did last year, but we still did a good job," Konecny said. "We really deserved 1st place, but our whole first mount fell," Stevens said, "It shocked us all, that mount had never fallen before until then, but I guess things like that happen." "We owe a lot to our Coaches Kerri and Jaqueline and our sponsor Joyce Schaffer, they made us an awesome routine and got us to nationals," Shadden said, "All the girls really appreciated everything they did for us." "Even though nationals didn't go as expected we all still had a lot of fun and learned from the experience," Stevens said, "I guess we will just have to go back next year and take what's ours!"

Cheerleading 1 Thespians & Speech Going On To Bigger & Better Things By Emily Hanneman & Rebecca Kuehn The Thespian Convention helped drama students express themselves. The Drama students didn't compete in any events because they were not prepared. "Even though we didn't compete this year, it was still fun watching other troops and seeing play s on the main stage, and you get to meet new people," junior Jen Korner said. the At convention, they could take all kinds of classes to better themselves. Some classes were m editation and relax a ti on, singing, acting and improvisation. "I took the meditation and relaxation class. It was wonderful, it really taught me how to relax, and I learned some amazing massage techniques," junior Nicole Wright said. There were plenty of memorable mom en ts at the con v en tion. " The dance was really fun because we all go crazy and dance all ov er the place. Swimming in the pool at the hotel was lots of fun too," Wright said . There will be more memories to return next year, "This was only my second year but I'll definitely go back next year," Korner said. After two years of not being at the district speech contest in Villisca, Iowa seven people out of 20 qualified for state. The seven that qualified were sophomores Jeremy Henry and Josh Lee, juniors Nicole Wright and Kourtnee Jewett, seniors Jessica Armstrong, Becky Jolly, and Amanda Branch. Out of all seven competitors one as chosen to compete at the University of Northern Iowa during the All State Competition. This was an honor for Lee to be able to compete at this level.

They tied the school record for wins in the season, they also had a double digit winning record w hich has not happened for quite sometime. One big push for the team was having eight returning seniors. This gave them power in numbers. "The eight returning seniors made a big impa ct on the underclassmen and on the team, they all showed great leadership, supp ort and talent," Coach Dave Lutz said. Not only did the seniors show great support, but also the student body. " Always knowing that there was going to be a full crowd in the stands, gave us a little bit more of a push to win the game because it makes us realize that winning this game really does matter to not only Sports us, but the whole school too," senior Dustin Townsend said. Even though they didn't advance to state they had many spectacular performances. In the two games against Abraham Lincoln and Lewis Central, both were decided on last second shots. "On the day of the A .L game I was little bit worried about us playing because one of our players had a family problem and was not feeling like himself. When he found out that everything was all right it was like a miracle. Then when we hit the game w inning shot I didn't think anything could be better than this," Coach Lutz said. "I was so tired and excited by the AL game that I just came home and fell asleep with my jersey on. I was so proud of what we h ad done," senior Mark Flaharty said.

Successful Season Seen Team Steps It Up A Notch By Amy Brown The girls' basketball team came off with a good start, w ith a record of 8-13. "They had practice every night from 3-5 p.m. and always tried their hardest during practice and games," Coach Jack French said. "This year went great compared to the la s t few years , and I had a blast playing with the seniors," junior Sara Brown said. Junior Rachel Nagunst agreed, " The ye ar was a success . It wo uld of been better if we would of won a few more games, but I ' m happy how it all turned out." There were only four sophomores who played on the varsity team Sarah Martin, Sarah Walck, Tabatha Allen and Ashley Hansen. "It was a good experience playing with the varsity girls. Everyone got along great which helped out Sports a lot," Martin said. "The sophomores did an outstanding performance with the rest of the team. They worked as hard as the juniors and seniors and didn't let anything get in the way of that," Coach French said. "These girls came to practice everyday in good positive moods and worked their hardest on new plays. The varsity team is very aggressive and I think they play better when being so," Coach French added. Others also credited the seniors. "Even though we will be losing two seniors, I think n ex t year it will be fun because I will be a senior! Hope full y, we will have a better record instead of 8-13. N ot saying that it was b ad, but maybe we w ill do better and a lso work harder at practice," Brown said. Scoreboard Senior Jamie Perkins goes to the line fo r a f ree throw. Photo by Crystal Sharp.

The bo ys ' and girl s ' team s looked for strong finis h es, to d efend s ta t e finishes in the previous years. Competition for a varsity sp ot was hot. " The equation seems simple keep most of the t eam together, have fun bowling and th en you w ill w in," senior Jeremy Weesner said. " It would be a misconception to say that the bowlers were a group of lazy people imitating athletes. It is said 95% of all ath letics is mental, the same is true for bowling," junior Amy Knauss said. After a 4-4 record from both boys' and girls' teams, each team won sub-state competitions and advanced to the state tournament where they placed fifth and tenth. "We slacked a little in the regular season. I think that the u n ity of the te ams finally came together once both of the teams found themselves winning at sub- st at e . The s t a t e tou rn am ent w as a perfect ending to high school b owling," senior Joe Groat said.

Heads High, Hands Raised Wrestlers Make History By Donnie Knickerbocker Expectations were a part of life; on e's expectations, their parents and coaches. For the wrestlers it w as their goal to create new expectations for themselve s and ev eryone who doubted them. "I got sick of hearing good luck next year coach," and "you had a tough group to work with," said Coach Todd McGinnes. "These boys worked their tails off d ay in day out just like any other team," Coach McG innes said. "The coaches expected a lot of us at practices and at meets and tournaments," junior Aaron McFarland said. "We did the best we could and Coach could tell if we did or didn't," senior Dan Kessler said The wrestlers would practice everyday 3:15 -6:15 p .m. and on Saturdays, when there were no tournaments 8:00 -11:00 a .m. "The only Sports thing that got you through practice was the thought of dinner that night and some days just the thought of walking to the locker room was enough to get you through practice," freshman Jack Pierce said. Although practices were long and their numbers decreasing the wrestlers made history, placing highest at all tournaments and for the first time were qualified as a team for the state meet. "The coaching staff was ve ry dedicated," Coach August Manz said. The wrestlers also spent a night in Shenandoah during the Mt. Ayr duals. "We had a great time chillen in the hot tub," s enior Danny Tow n send said. "The last thing coach told us before w e wrestled w as as long and we w orked hard w e leave heads h igh and h and s raise d," Townsend said, "And that's exactly what we did."

Labs Leave Impressions Story By Jena Schuster As the years have gone by, labs have been an exciting part of many science classes . The labs gave the students a break from learning through the textbooks to learning through interaction. Labs that were done in physics and chemistry were the marble lab, flames of color, fire works lab (where they made sparklers,) the calories in cashews, drawn accelerations lab and the salt water density lab. "The kids I had were really good kids," Chemistry teacher Shannon C'de Baca said. The students in the chemistry and physics classes enjoyed the many different labs that were available to them. "I liked the chromatography lab," sophomore Tricia Myre said. According to the students, many enjoyed doing the lab work over doing the class work. " I enjoy m y classes, the students are very good," Physic teacher Terry Todd said. "I like the labs because you learn for yourself, and you're not restricted," freshman Shelly Rutz said. Even though the students may have been good and the labs fun that didn't stop mishaps from occurring. "During the penny lab we had a roll of pennies and they fell all over the floor w hen I tried opening it," junior Kourtnee Jewett said. During the labs students had to be very careful. They had to be careful because the chemicals that w ere used during the labs could be harmful. "If any of the chemicals had b een spilled we would have had to clean it up immediately so that no students would get hurt," Ms. C' de Baca said. "I'm glad that I took the physics class because when we did the labs it was so much fun, and I also learned a lot of new information," sophomore Jason Weihs said. The students learned h ow to mix chemicals in a safe way, and also learned h ow to work with a group. Many students that took the Chemistry and Physics classes thought it had been a fun experience. So whether it's the classroom work students liked or the labs, chemistry and physics seemed to be the classes to take if students liked to be interactive while learning. ."- Cassan dra Carriker David Carroll Andrea Carruthers Robert Cashatt Amanda Ch ase Kevin Chatterton David Cherecwich Brandon Clark Jermifer Cleary Jared Cline Joshua Cornelison Brandon Croghan Amanda Crummer Bobby Dague Adam Daniels Nicole Daniels Jennifer Davis Ryan Davis Jason DeLong Jennifer DeLong Matthew Dennis Chad Dirks Cory Dofner Racheal Donahoo Jacqueline Drummond Deidre Dunkelberger Kathleen Dye Amanda Ellis Ashley Ellison Nathan Evans Arnie Farrell Rachel Farrell Anna Ferrin Matthew Flom Megan Flowers Jon Frederiksen Holly Fritze John Gaines - Anjelica Garcia Elizabeth Garcia Christina Gardner Ryan Garrison Stephanie Gehl Amanda Geraets Rose Anna Godina Sean Godsey Katerina Golitsina Patricia Graham Julie Grashorn Tiffany Gray Dustin Gri ffith Terra Gusman Top Ten Idols Senior Josh Mohr shows his idol by wearing a shirt of Slipknot.

Budgets Cut Story By Heather Womochil There were many changes throughout the year, and one of the biggest students had to adapt to was the budget cuts made by the district. School budgets got cut 17 percent, or approximately $54 thousand from the original amounts. There was a second budget cut that had to do with teachers wages, benefits and supplies. That number was also cut 17 percent from a starting budget of $41 thousand. "It was hard when we were almost halfway through the year and I had to come back and say that we didn't have as much money as we thought we had. But it happened district wide, so w e weren't alone," Principal Warren Weber said. With the budget cuts came sacrifices students had to make such as heat, field trips and charter buses. The athletic teams were not allowed charter buses for away games to Sioux City and Des Moines, unless they could ftmd the difference themselves. "I didn't like it, we had to take cheese wagons to Sioux City, it was bad," junior Ryan Garrison said. Along with the elimination of charter buses came the cut in supplies. Teams had to decide w hat they needed most and spent their money wisely. "It hurt, it was hard to do things when the money just wasn't there," Athletic Director Cyle Forney said. Student field trips were cut back as well, unless the trip was necessary the school could not fund it. "It was dumb, we couldn't go on very many field trips. Learning about something isn' t fun unless y ou can actually go to the place and see wh at the teacher has been telling you ab out," junior Nicole Bridge said. Another cut back the sch ool h ad to make was in the area of heat. Thermostats were turned down to 59 degrees during the night and up to 69 degrees during th e day. Students were allowed to wear coats again because classrooms were so cold. "I thought it was sad our school couldn't do the things we w anted, and we had to cut back to even turning down the heat," junior Rachel Neill said.

Health Class Informs Story By Kelsey Kermoade Don't teens hate it, when people always tell them what to wear, and how to look, but never give them the answer on how actually to do it. One class that students had the opporhmity to take that would answer their questions was Health class. In health class, students learned about all different situations and how to deal with it in a positive manner. Stress is just one big section that is covered in the semester class. "I liked the section over stress because it really taught me how to deal with my stress and how to handle it," sophomore Sarah Martin said. Not all students liked the section over stress because they had to speak out. "I don't mind the class, except I hate the fact we have to speak out and express our feelings, " senior Glynn White said. Another section the health class discussed was sex and the female and male bodies. Many teachers would feel uncomfortable teaching this unit to a bunch of high school students. "I think Ms . Pierson is the b est teacher for this class because she is not shy and she really know s what she is talking about," junior Jeremy Albright said. This section the class studied gave students information on the other genders and gave them tips on how to keep healthy and how to prevent many types of diseases or viruses. "I enjoy teaching this unit because I believe students should know all about each other and themselves. I also want them to know how to take good care of themselves and the people they love," Health teacher Lavonne Pierson said. Many experiments have w ent on in the classroom. Students experimented with calipers, eating like a vegetarian and being blind folded . Each of these experiments h ad a valu able lesson that w as attach ed t o it. The blind fold experiment taught them to appreciate wh at they have and what some people d on 't h ave. "I thin k that experiment allowed them to appreciate themselves and how lucky they really are. Health class is not just a class to have it is a class that could help you chan ge your life for the better," Ms. Pierson said.

Story By Amy Brown It was about the time that all students dread when the Physical Education teachers announced that students were going to be dancing! But some changes were made. "We did not have square dancing this year because it was too time consuming," P.E. teacher Sharon Semler said. Some students didn't like what they heard. Senior Amanda Gunzenhauser said, "This is dumb we've always had the dances, without them there's nothing to look forward to." Others agreed. "It was sh1pid because we had to do fitness. When we first started dancing I wanted to take dance lessons," jtmior Sara Brown said. "Dancing gave us a break from our normal activities", junior Rachel Na.gust said. Junior Sara Zika agreed, "Dancing would have been better than eight minute abs." "I wanted to bring new flavor to the Dance unit, than the line dance stuff," jw1ior Nicole Wright said. A few students thought it was a good idea not to have the dance unit. "I'd rather do fih1ess to help with soccer, but I do like dancing," jtmior Megan Flowers said. Even the teachers thought the dance unit was beneficial. "There are everyday people doing some cool stuff that nobody will see," te acher Lav onne Pierson said. "It adds creativity and flare but otherwise blah the dance unit," senior Donnie Knickerbocker said. Senior Stephanie DeMare agreed. "I like it when we don't line dance. There were a lot of mixed emotions over all this. " "In the last 30 years this is the first year we are not having the dance unit," Ms. Semler said. Some classes were given the opportunity to dance. Instead of having two classes dancing at the same time like every other year, the classes danced with just their physical education class. Senior Kiley Kugland said, "My seventh hour class danced every other Friday. Then we had some people come into the class and teach us how to free style dancing. It was a lot of fun! "This is a lot more fun than square dancing, but I wish we could of learned ho w to ballroom dance," Kugland added.

Golf Grows New Coaches Lead Team By Brad Young & Destyni Summer The only thing better than the low score winning, is the language . There is no other sport that could match up with the lingo, or wardrobe of golf. Jeans and one's favorite shirt were as common as a birdie, bogey or a par. The strong point of the boys' team was its leadership. "The seniors were expected to be leaders on this team, and I think the four we had out represented us well, " Coach Wayne Mains said. In the City Tournament seniors Kyle Meyer shot a 79 and finished third, and Brad Young shot a 90 and finished eighth. "One of the last rounds I shot for high school was my most memorable. On the seventh hole I shanked my Sports drive and broke the top off the seventh hole sign," senior Joe Groat said. Girls golf had a great season. Sophomore Michelle Paulsen took medalist honors at three events. She shot a 35 and 39 at Westwood. Then at Red Oak she shot a 59. Senior Julie Rockwell had the top score on 18 holes with a 114 at Fox Run. "We had a strong year, the best team in the last four years and were going to be even better," freshman Na ta li e Godsey said. "The team did well for their experience level.

Districts and State Boys and Girls See Achievement By Ahs ley Ell iott & Monica Pickard Girls' varsity tennis got off to a good start. Not only did they get a new coach, but they won their first meet against St. Albert 9-0. The new coach was substitute teacher Matt Conner. " My favorite thing about the season was the rides to and from the game w hen we would all sing," sophomore Ashley Raymer said. At the beginning of the season there was talk of no junior varsity team because there wasn't a coach . Wrestling coach August Manz decided to coach the junior varsity team. "The one thing I remember was the stupid jokes that the coach made," sophomore Brittany Mowery said. To top off the season senior Angie Bergantzel competed at state. Boys' tennis athletes worked hard during the tennis season as well as in the off season. "All tennis players have to work really hard to improve their skills, and that might mean practicing all year," junior Nick Jackson said. This season, freshman John Crummer and senior Julien Hamiche made it to Districts in doubles. Unfortunately they lost in the first round. Jackson was also a p la yer who made it to Districts.

Many seniors believe that graduation is all fun and games. They forget about the responsibilities. "I was really excited for my senior year to come, until my term paper was due, and I had to write all the checks for my graduation party," senior Troy Matheny said. Many seniors waited impatiently for the acceptances letters from the colleges of their choice. "After receiving my acceptances letter, grad ua ti on was all down hill after that," senior Sammy Romesburg said. The cost of senior pictures, announcements, graduation parties and the cap and gown really started to add up. "I have had to pay a lot of money so far," senior Krista Bartholomew said, "But I guess it is worth it for my high school graduation." Many high school sh1dents could not wait until their graduation day finally came. Preparing for graduation, some seniors found it to be harder than they thought. "I am ready to graduate already," senior Andrea Crane said. "That hardest part will be when I and all my friends go off to different colleges," Crane added.

Through out high school many students learn lessons in different ways. Either rewarding or consequential students learned their lesson. Some lessons learned were very obvious like doing homework or showing up for class, "It's a good idea to show up for school, otherwise you will have lot of work to make up," senior Ashley Galles said. While other lessons took some thought, " I called myself in for school one day. I didn't think I would get caught but I did. My consequence was I had four d etentions and it happened at the end of the year," senior Donnie Knickerbocker said. "My lesson learned will help me when I go to college.

Although most people did remember to put on some clothes, one must remember that any thing could happen in high school. "The one day that sticks out in my mind would be one day in the cafeteria. I had received my food, I was tripped and landed face first into my food," senior Jeremy Weesner said. Embarrassment wasn't limited to just the school building. " In my first show for T.J. Today the crew set up a stunt for an extreme golf carting in which the closing shot was to jump into Carter Lake, and retrieve a golf ball. The:Lake was freezing and I ended up slipping on the mud," senior Robert Lane said. Teenage love ran rampant throughout the hallways . This too caused embarrassing moments. "My sophomore year I was staring at a girl in one of my classes. I was leaning back in my desk, when the kid in front of me hit my desk up, and I fell backwards," senior Nick Freet said. "During a golf match, in front of all the golfers I hit my ball at a 90 degree slice to the right hitting several golf carts," senior Tim Thompson said. It didn't really matter where they were, they had to always remember that someone was wa tching and those embarrassing moments made those high school memories more memorable.

Seniors had to decide on colleges, finances, housing and life itself. "My future consists of going to the University of Northern Iowa where I will major in chemistry and after four years I can hopefully go to pharmacy school so I can become a pharmacist. If that doesn't work out I want to come back here and teach science," senior Jennifer Rychly said. Many colleges were chosen by classes they offered, the cost and scholarship opportunities. "I was really excited that all my hard w ork both academically and athletically p aid off in a full ride college scholarship," senior Jamie Perkins said. She received her college scholarship from Kansas State for volleyball. She will be majoring in medicine as well as playing volleyball. Some parents wanted their children to attend the college they attended while other's choice was based on their own views. "I chose Iowa Western basically because my mom went there and because I wanted to attend a smaller college," senior Karen Taylor said. Others chose to enter the military . "Future Plans for me are to go into the Air Force, stay in the Air Force for 10 to 13 years and get my licence and training to fly jets. After I get out of the Air Force I am going to be a licensed electrician, build my own house and retire," senior Ian Finley said.

Photo by Kr is tyn Yearing ton. The last year of school leaves many options for seniors. Some students chose an alternative route instead of college. Students thought that college was not the only way to go and they planed on going in to the National Guard, Army or the Navy and other areas for success. "I am going into the Iowa Army National Guard, I think it will be better. It will give me more opportunity to succeed," senior Aaron Williams said. Making decisions on where to go can be very tough for students. "I was not sure on what I wanted to be w hen I grow up so I decided to go into the Army and decide while I am there, " senior Mike Chanley said. Going into the service has been a choice for many students. "I am going into the United States Army, but I will also be studying Linguistics while in the army, "senior Rebecca Vannatta said. Some students think it will be a good idea to go in to the Army Reserves part time and still attend college at different campuses.

The events of Sept. 11 will forever be etched in the back of student's minds. " I will always remember how Mr. Bannick stared at the T. V. with tears in his eyes and shaking his head slowly back and forth," said senior Ashley Clark. _Many senior's goals were to make their last year a memorable one. "I did not expect memories of falling buildings and breaking news about terrorism every 15 seconds," said senior Heather Brewer. The events also added to an all ready problematic economical quarter. "It will be hard for seniors to find full time job_s after graduation," Marketing teacher Gary Bannick said. "My senior class had to deal with their hours being cut," Mr. Ban.nick said. September 11 did however help some seniors make a tough decision on what to do after graduation . "I remember looking at the T.V. with so much anger I could hardly keep from wanting to beat someone up and right after school I went and joined the Marines," senior Danny Townsend said. "I had thought about it, but this convinced me," Townsend said. Al though the memories of that dreadful day will always remain in the student's hearts they looked to better memories. " I will not let some angry dude ruin my year," senior Alicia Stultz said. Marketing teacher Gary Bannick allowed the students to watch CNN after the September 11 events.

Even though the weather did not help with 80 degree days in January, the seniors were still denied a ski trip . "We even approached the administration about having a senior trip, not just a ski trip, and it never came about.," senior Lindsey Podraza said. "We checked into Worlds of Fun or Adventureland," senior Jamie Perkins added. Some people even told their work that they were planning on a senior trip and would be needing to take the day off. " I told my boss that I was going to be taking some days off for our trip, but when I found out that we were not having one I was mad because I had to work," senior Christina Brown said. Others didn't really care if the seniors h ad a trip or not. "I didn't really care if we had a trip or not, I can't ski anyway. I don't want to go and waste my time," senior Becci Pierson said. " I was really looking forward to going on this trip, the seniors should of held a fundraiser so that we could make enough money so that we could go," senior Amanda Gunzenhauser said. 7o 71te 6 I I Seniors Seniors Dustin D.

These were the many things that were available to students at Post Prom. Tickets sold for $6 a single and $10 a couple. Post Prom was held from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. after Prom. An addition to Post Prom was the cash cube sponsored by the Booster Club. Students were put into the cube and had to catch at least five pieces of paper with numbers on them and then pick a prize from a bag. . "Post Prom was more fun than Prom, mainly because the music was mostly alternative and you can't dance to that!" senior Stephanie Fichter said, "But at Post Prom they played a lot of good music and had a funny DJ." Another addition to Post Prom was the strolling magician. The magician replaced the hypnotist from the previous years. "The magician was way better than the hypnotist last year because you could still bowl and everything instead of having to stop and watch a show," senior Dave Brown said. Their were a variety of prizes offered for the students through drawings. "I won a DVD player! I liked the door prizes, it is a good idea," senior Anne Young said.

Staff Adds Teachers Story By Ashley Elliott Throughout the year Tee Jay got a lot of new teachers. Thirteen new teachers to be exact. Many of the 13 were special education teachers. "I don't like it when new teachers come in because then I have to get used to the way they grade and teach and things like that," sophomore Tiffany Darling said. Carmen Kinsley took the place of last year's freshman science teacher. She was a science teacher at Woodrow Wilson Junior High School. "Tee Jay is larger and has more kids than Wilson," Ms. Kinsley said. "I like it when new teachers come in because it gives me someone new to talk to and get to know. I always miss talking to the other teachers that were here," jwuor Nick Kocol said. Bonnie Hayes works in the Counseling Center and thls w as her first time ever working in a public school. "I enjoy the teachers and kids," Mrs. Hayes said. "I like meeting the new teachers, but it can get confusing sometimes because they have totally new rules and stuff," sophomore Ashley Raymer said. Ms. Kinsley and Mrs. Hayes both enjoy being at the school. "It reminds me of m y hi gh school, but no air conditioning," Mrs. Hayes said. "I love working with the students and n ow that I came h ere I have met a lot of new teachers," Ms. Kinsley said "I really like it when the teachers I don't like leave," sophomore Khandis Cain said.

Photo by Keith Pebley. Stamp It Story By Tammi Pruett Last spring the administrators had a meeting about how to communicate with parents more. They decided to buy every teacher a stamp with their initials on it so that they could check the agenda, then teachers stamp it to verify the students were accounted for in class that day. Some teachers didn't like the idea. Others tried to make some fun out of it. As for chemistry teacher Shannon C' de Baca, she had approximately 14 different stamps. One really popular stamp was an Eienstein. Sophomore Nicole Schnackel said, "Mr. Todd has a really neat stamp and I like that he uses something other than his initials because it sets him apart from the others. It makes him an individual." There was one downside to the stamps. Teachers had to take attendance three times. Once on computer, once on paper and then stamping agendas. Although it was crammed into teachers heads they sometimes forgot to stamp, "If you did it every day at the same time, you'd remember, but if you didn't you might have forgotten ," biology teacher Bud Meade said. Many parents liked the stamps and some didn't care. Parent Taini Pruett said, "I thought it was a great idea, I check my kids' everyday." As for student opinions sophomore Katie Burgess said, "I don't really like the stamps, because it's a waste of time to take out your agenda and hav e it stamped every hour." Principle Warren Weber had high hopes that using the stamps would help. He said, "It's not full proof but we'll keep trying.

" I don 't like doing the vocabulary because no one really payed attention to them and we never used them in any of our classes anyway," junior Kiley Kugland said . Some thought that doing the vocabulary every week helped in the future. "I was glad for the words , they seemed to help on my ACT"s, " junior Krista Bartholomew said. Others liked a different reward for vocabulary. "I loved doing the vocabulary in homeroom. My homeroom teacher made a deal that if we all participated and scored 90 percent or better she would buy Burger King, " senior Sasha Miller said. One area that increased in the Iowa Tests of Educational Development was in vocabulary. "I think that having the words in the freshman teams and also supplementing with words in the homeroom helped raise the scores," Assistant Principal Judy O'Brien said.

Many freshman had to just change schools, but junior Kathy Stang had to change her whole life-style. Stang travelled many miles from New Guinea to America with her mother who is a missionary. Living the past 16 years of her life in the warm, sunny climate of New Guinea, Stang had to change to the cold winter of Iowa. "Over here it is so cold ; I never had a pair of jeans so when I came here I had to buy a lot of pairs, " Stang said. Stang felt that the rules over here we re very different to adjust to also. "It is very corrupt in New Guinea you have a lot of crime and no laws. People can do what ever they want and no one will do anything. You have to know people to get ahead in life," Stang said. "It is very strict here like th e drinking age is 21 , but over there a 10-year old can buy beer," Stang said. Stang also noted that she really missed her friends and her brother. "My brother wanted to com e over here but it was hard to find a job so he stayed. I really miss him a lot, we use to go and party all the time," Stang said. "Living here has been fun but I miss home a lot. I am going back to see if I like it over here more than in New Guinea. I am not for sure if I want to stay because people are so friendly here and I am starting to really like it," Stang said. Junior Kathy Stang moved from New Guinea to Council Bluffs.

Photo by David Miller. 52 Freshmen Throughout the summer there was a lot of remodeling and painting done to the building. During the painting the old mural was painted over. "It was awful that the mural got painted over. Students put a lot of hard work into the mural ," senior Katie Dunlap said. Seniors Katie Dunlap and Jacob Ottosen, along with the help of teacher Joe McNamara came up with an new idea for a mural. The new mural was a collage of different activities and the school. "Students put the pictures that we used together," said Dunlap. There were a variety of choices that were looked at. "We just had to let our imaginations run wild, " said Dunlap. There was a lot of compromising prior to the final mural selection. The mural was chosen from pictures of the school off an old certificate and different awards that were discovered. Then a picture of Thomas Jefferson was added. In February the painting of the mural began. There were many obstacles they encountered in doing the mural. "I really hated the fact that we had to work on it during the lunch hour. People would always come by and bump our overhead projector, " Dunlap said. Lighting was also an issue. "Because of the light in the hallway, it was difficult to trace our sketches. We even used a screen to block the sun , but that didn't work," Dunlap said. Leaving a legacy was one reason that the duo took on the task of designing and painting a new mural. "I've never been really active in school. Being able to design the mural makes me feel that I contributed to the school and was a part of something ," Dunlap said. Dunlap and Ottosen participated in the art program through the independent study class. This was their final project for their class.

Keeping all of this in mind, counselors thought it would be nice for students to be positively recognized. "With all the hardship the students faced I thought it would be encourag ing to receive something nice and uplifting," Counselor Karla Hughes said. The idea was conceived by Ms .

After all the c ards we re mad e , stacked , organized , and ready to go, it was Ms. Clinton's job to deliver them into the hands of thei r beneficiaries. The plan was to have th em sent to th e students during home room but for those who were absent, they received them via the US mail. "Some people feel down on thei r birthday, the cards could cheer them up," freshman Tricia Myre said. Al though the counselors tri ed to recognize all students , it was a new system and there were a few glitches and some studsnts did not receive a card.

Academics 53 By Sarah McVey Stephanie Albery Jeremy Albright Jennifer Aldredge Heather Allen David Anson Jeffrey Arthur Clara Athay Lisa Baker Beth Bates Christine Belt For the students in Mike Hale 's class learning about biomes meant constructing a model and writing a report. "The students had to do this project so they would learn about biomes," Mr. Hale said. Students had to meet certain requirements on their project to receive a good grade. "The students were required to make a model, write a report with certain information about their biome such as, where they were located and their temperatures. After all of that, they had to present their project to the class," Mr. Hale said. Some students liked doing the project and some did not. The ones that did like it had fun from hanging out with their partner to laughing at their biome model. "My biome was of the arctic regions, the north and south poles. My group paper mached a balloon then painted it, drew the world on it and pointed out where the regions were located ," sophomore Kyla Jastorff said. "Our world was a little lopsided ! But who really cares," she added with a laugh . "The project was hard but, my partner was cool , so it was a lot of fun working together! My partner was the one that made the model ," sophomore Jennifer Davis said. One student liked doing the project because it was a good learning experie nce . "I liked doing the project because it was inte resting learni ng abou t different places and studying with my partner," sophomore Amanda Chase said. The class accomplished the goals set for them by Mr. Hale. "I hope t hey learned about the general or specific information about all the different types of biomes in the world," Mr. Hale said. All in all these students had fun while learning about different places in the world where some students have never been before.

Just that feeling of getting behind the wheel by themselves was dreadful enough for most parents , but Driver 's Education teachers and classes helped students get prepared for the real driving world. Driver's Ed was offered during the school year and in the summer. During the school year it's free but during the summer it was $135. Many age levels took the course. "I'm one out of the five seniors in there, and I didn't feel like waiting until June to get my license," senior Mike Driver said. The class started at the beginning of the year going for one semester. Students got credit for the class. "The class was only offered opposite semesters . It changes every year. Last year it wasn 't until second semester. We switch semesters with A. L. ," sophomore Brandon Bose said. Since the class was only offered for one semester it was hard for underclassmen to get enrolled. "Everyone wants to take Driver's Ed at school because it doesn't cost money plus you get cred it for the class, " freshman Heather Kernes said. Many of the students experienced unusual situations. "One time a girl pulled out of the alley and started to drive on the wrong side. Another thing was a day when they had construction on Broadway. The car had to take a detour and the driver completely missed the stop sign. The teacher had to slam on the breaks, " sophomore Rebecca Kuehn said. "The best was when I got on the interstate with my emergency brake on. I felt so stupid. I kept pressing on the accelerator and it wouldn 't go anywhere. The car was only going 40 when it was supposed to be going 60 . My teacher told me to release the emergency brake and it might go somewhere," Kuehn confessed.

One may not have realized it when they were a freshman but when they became a junior or a senior the time to make up their mind about what they want to become was getting shorter. The choice students made could have a deep impact on a person's life. " When I grow up I want to be a pediatric doctor," freshman Kendra Peters said. Everyone seemed to ask themselves the same question , "What do I want to be when I grow up?" Everyone wants to do something with their lives. There were many career choices out there. Some require college degrees and some only required a high school diploma. The reason for Career Day was for students to see what options they had available to them. Some studen ts have different ideas of what they want to be when they grow up. " I want to be the drummer for Motley Crew," freshmen Aaron Nevins said. Some careers were more realistic than others , but it didn 't mean that it couldn 't happen. The freshmen halls had Career Day every year, " I think that it was a good way to get the students thinking about what they want to do when they get older, " science teacher Jill Nusser said. Many of the students thought that the most interesting part of the day was when Gaylen Barrett from the Council Bluffs Animal Control Center came in to talk to the students. "I thought that the animal control center guy was cool , he had a tranquilizer gun, " freshman Chris Eathen said. "The Career Day will hopefully help the students in their decision to become what they want to be ," Ms. Nusser said. "If a student sets their mind to do something then they can do it," English teacher Jane Hanigan said.

Well according to auto shop teacher Lester Kadner, "Students volunteer or come to me with problems with their cars and then the students I have try to evaluate the problem with the car and then fix the car at a lower price. " According to senior Travis Gulick, " I bring my car here to the shop on the weekends and sometimes I change my oil or rotate my tires and then during the week we help each other on the cars that the junk yards donate to us. " "I think it's a great experience for the students to work on their own cars and to be able to acknowledge the problem with their cars so in the future they won't have to pay large amounts to fix their cars ," Mr. Kadner said . Principal Warren Weber said "It's a great experience for the students to be able to work on their cars or the cars that are donated to the department because if it weren 't for the person or persons donating the cars their would be no auto body shop. " "I really think that the students who take this class will benefit from the teacher and the experience of taking a car apart or even just finding the problem wrong with the car and being able to fix the problem without help. This will be a great attribution in the future for these students when they grow up ," Counselor Kelly Scott said. " I th ink that the auto shop was a great class because that class saved the Driver's Ed class a large amount of money on the cars that we have for Driver's Ed . If it weren 't tor that class I don't know what kind of condition the Driver 's Ed. cars would be in today.

"I think metal's was cool because it was something I'm interested in and because it was hands on ," said Haden. In metals students learned how to make metal objects, but before all of that they have to take tests over all the machines and equipment. The class attended an all day field trip at Iowa Western Community College. Safety was the key to the metals class. Many students worked with hazardous equipment during class. Photo by Boots King.

Class is always more fun when you have a project to wo rk on ." Senior Aaron Naylor said, "The class was a good wo rking environment. " A lot of the students felt that every class should be as fun and exciting as the metals class was. A few students took the class because they thought it would be an easy credit with no hard work. It was actually just the opposite. Students learned a lot of valuable things while taking the class according to Wurtz.

Photo by Fabian Kolberg. 64 Juniors By Bryan Moraine During the fall , many juniors and seniors participated in golf, for Physical Education . There were 45 students that were involved in golfing to be exact. For the past 15 years Lavonne Pierson and Sharon Semler have provided golfing for students as an alternative for PE. "Everyone of the students that did P.E. golf had a lot of fun ," Ms. Semler said . Many of the students picked golfing because they have had past experiences with golfing or just wanted to try something new. P.E. golf lasted for 12 days. For the first six days the students worked on how to hold the club and how to swing the club. The last six days the students went to Westwood Golf Course to golf. The students also took a half day to have a field trip to Westwood for a fun filled day of golfing nine holes. "I wish we would have had another day to take the top golfers to Dodge ," Ms. Semler said. "There were many talented golfers that could have been even better if they could have gotten a little longer to practice and play a little more too ," Ms. Semler added. "I really enjoyed being able to get out and play golf during the day. I just didn 't like it being so muddy when we played, " junior Donnie Knickerbocker said. According to Ms. Semler golfing was an activity that one can use for life. In other athletic sports people can only do a sport for so long. Then they become too old, are not as athletic or don't have enough energy to do the sports as they used to be able to when they were younger. Where as golfing, it is an activity that can be done at all times she explained . "I know that Ms. Pierson , Mr. Kinsel and myself golf all the time. It's all we do anymore , it's all we can do ," smirked Ms. Semler. Equipment for the activity was provided by the PE department.

P.E. dance has been around for about 30 years, many parents , aunts and even uncles enjoyed the wonderful unit. The dance unit usually takes place the two weeks before Winte r Break. Dancing was cut a little short because of all the snowdays . That gave students only about three or four days of dancing. " There are some students who would rather fail a semester of P.E. than dance," P.E. teacher Sharon Semler said. "I think it was more of a matter of Senior Jim Basch learns some new moves in his Physical Education dance class. Photo by Fabian Kolberg . maturity than anything. That's why we do basic square dancing for the freshmen and sophomo re s , and the couples dancing fo r the older students ," P.E. teacher Lavonne Pierson said. A few students disagree though . Freshman Nikki Jungferman sa id , "Dancing was just stupid." " Some students think that dancing for P.E. was a wonderful idea because they don't have to dress out," Ms. Semler said. There will always be students who think P.E. dance was the wo rst idea ever and others who love the idea. " In the dancing unit we try to teach coordination , rhythm, cooperation , respect and social interaction , things that are very important in life, " Ms. Pierson said.

Photo by Fabian Kolberg. 66 Juniors Different programs were offered to accommodate the variety of needs of students. One such option was the honor programs. English, Sociology, biology and government were the many different kinds of honors classes that could be taken. In order to take the class, students must have passed a test to make sure they have the abilities to complete the course. The classes didn't differ too much from regular classes according to English teacher Linda Gardner. "There are only six students in my Honors English so we end up doing a lot of discussion type things. I really enjoy this type of class format better, " junior Brian Park said. That doesn't always mean the classes are similar. "My class does things totally opposite of the regular classes but I don 't mind, it's usually pretty fun ," junior Krista Bartholomew said. Senior Abby Veydt agrees , " My Honors English does more writing , we still do the same things but just in a different style that challenges us more." The honor classes not only challenged the students but made the students work harder for their ; grade. "I feel like I am doing so much work but the grade doesn 't reflect on how hard the work was ," sophomore Rachel Neill. Senior Joannie Johnson disagrees, "I like taking the honor classes because it challenges me and doesn't leave me bored. " College credit was also a bonus for taking some of the honor classes. "I am only taking some of these classes so I have credits when I get to college ," Bartholomew said. "The only reason that I take honors classes was because my mom wants me to be smart, " junior Steve Watts said . So, whether students took the classes for fun or for college credit, the learning was still all the same.

"We got a list of students and choose the one that would fit in our family the best," senior Mike Perales said. "The first months of communicating with the family was thought emails and letters, " Hartojo said Many students found themselves very busy outside of school. "We found that these students were very good at different sports," P.E. teacher Dave Lutz said. The school was a lot different as well. "Our school is very strict.

There were also no detentions held on Thursday nights for students who were tardy or who had truants. Those were just some of the changes that took place over the summer break. "Students are allowed to carry mesh or clear backpacks, we didn't think that would be a problem because we could see inside them. It 's better than watching students lugging all of their belongings to class ," Principal Warren Weber said. As for the changes on detentions many students thought that it was a change for the better. " I th ink the change on detentions was a good idea. For most students it was just a three day vacation if they got suspended, so it wasn 't really hurting them at all ," senior Amanda Kuehn said. During the beginning of the year when it was very hot in the building , some students were thankful for the two inch tank tops that they were able to wear. One bad thing about the new rules was no pop and food outside the student lounge. On some of the hottest days of the year, students like to have a refreshing cold pop "It's not that big of a deal but it was nice to drink and snack on food, " senior Melissa Fredrickson said . As for the tardies, the teachers handled them. " I didn 't mind dealing with them, " said social science teacher Mary Beth Kueny.

For years, the senior English class put up the Dickens Hallway on the second floor. Many reasons contributed to that not going so traditional. ''The reason that I chose not to put up the Dickens Hallway was due to the fact that it was just too much of a hassle . It also took needless time out of the curriculum to put up ," English teacher Jane Howard said. For some students , the Di cken s Hallway wasn 't such a big deal. "I real ly didn 't care , it did n't matter actu ally. It would have been a lot of work, so I'm Senior April Briggs helps to decorate the light poles for the Dickens hallway.

" It really does take a lot of time and it was really expensive ," Ms. Howard said. "In previous years, we used many rolls of tape and since the hallways have been freshl y painted , we couldn't tape up things , especially heavy things up on the wall," Ms. Howard said. Instead there were little things all over, and in some places there was a bit more because of the validations that we re needed by seniors. "In order to get the validations, a senior had to read "A Christmas Carol" write a paper, or make a newspaper from that time period," Ms. Howard said. "I chose to do some of the hallway, because I needed some validations," senior Travis Baily said. Academics 73 en a: 0 by Jill Wallace Senior year was full of a little here and there.

''The way that Ms. Kuney taught, made me learn more than I ever would have out of just a book," senior Ryan Smith said. Many students agree that everyone could have fun and learn at the same time. "Math was my worst subject until I had Mr. Poggemiller," senior Aaren Andersen said. "He made it a lot easier to learn and I didn't sleep all hour either," added Andersen. Teachers are not the only ones being missed. Other faculty members, such as coaches are missed as well. "I never had Mr. Muehlig, but he was such a great coach, I wish I would have had him as a teacher," senior Nick Gaddy said. Those who have had him agreed that he was a wonderful teacher. "Mr. Muehlig really cared and wanted to make sure you passed in all your classes, not just his ," senior Jessica Hanson said.

Some students didn't even go out for sports, but instead they were the fans that cheered the teams on. The teams were fo rmed by varsity, junior varsity and freshmen players. All of the teams had to undergo change with the new conference and some new coaches . For example there was a new head baseball coach and new head wrestling coach. Another addition was that of a bowling team. The football teams experienced changes by traveling to Des Moines and other cities to play most of their games. Along with the changes the teams under went, there were the ups and downs that went along with any team. The football team had displayed the ultimate attitude of spirit and teamwork during the season . That same attitude of spirit and teamwork was what it took for the different teams . Whatever the sport was the teams never gave up. The girls soccer team had style during the season due to the hours they spent in practice. Photo by Jennifer Sharp.

New Coach Leads TeamQ' By the end of the season the baseball team complied a record of 19-17. They were led under the leadership of the new coach Todd Barnett. The team had to overcome many obstacles during the season. They pulled together as a team and put all of their effort to work. The team had many goals for themselves. "One of our main goals was to make it to state," freshman Shane Hollenbach said. The team was dedicated and determined to work their hardest to get to state. They ended up very close to making it. They lost by one run. " I think we worked our hardest and did what we could and I am proud of where we got, " junior Brandon McDaniel said. There were many difficult games played. "One of our hardest games was Sioux City East, but we still stuck together and tried our best," graduate Jared Podraza said. Sioux City East was just one of the teams in the new conference that they had to play against. There were a variety of different age gro ups on vars ity. Freshmen Shane Hollenbach had yet to attend high school , since he was just out of junior high, but managed to start fo r varsity. "To be an eighth grader playing varsity has to be the best, but it was a little scary going against the upper classmen, but I tried my best," said Hollenbach. Many of the players made All St at e and Al l Conference. The players that made All City and All Conference were Shaun Hollenbach , Dale Sill ik, Jared Podraza, Brandon McDaniel, Chad Dennis and Shane Hollenbach. There were two players that made just all city which were Heath Chalmers and Justin Williams. There were many exciting moments that went on during the season . " The best thing about the season was when we made it to the district champion ships," junior Mike Mecseji said. There were also some times when the team tried to make practice a little more exciting but it backfired . "On e practice we were playing catch and the girls softball team was playing on the slip and slide and we all stopped and watched them for ten minutes. The coach caught us and made us run 6 polls which was embarrassing to us," senior Dale Sillik said. Several of the players were seniors.

According to Coach Mike Bond , "The teams played very well even though we had to play in a tougher conference. Even with this fact the varsity still turned out with a winning record. The team had many goals set for the season such as team improvement, to win the first round of districts and to improve in team meetings and make them better than any other season meetings had been before. The team thoug ht if they accomplished these goals they wou ld have a very successful season. Their reaso n was that one of the fi rst ways to become a successful and strong team is by team bonding .

"That record was an under statement on how well the team showed the potential to be a great team," Head Coach Dan Strutzenberg said. Coach Strutzenberg explained how well the football team played in one simple word 'DETERMINATION'. "The reason I chose the word determination was in all of the games we played, whether we were up or down, the team never decided to give up and die," he said. The players all agreed that the season was one to remember especially since there was no one outstanding player. The year saw a whole team effort. Senior Aaren Andersen added ,"The fact was the record may not show what this football team and these games mean to this school. We go out the re day in and day out and give our all .Then we sacrifice our bodies on a Friday night in order to prove what this football team is made of." "A lt hough the season may have been challenging for the football players it was not that the team didn't have any enthusiasm. It was the fact of the penalties we received when we got the ball moving on the field that hurt us the most. If we would have cut down on the mental mistakes we would of been in better positions in those games to win," junior Justin Uhl said. Senior Tony Dorsett said , "On e moment I remember from the football season was when we played A.L. and we were down by 42 points , yet the team stuck together and performed to the best of our abilities. This football team was like a family, if one of us was down the whole team picks that one person up and gave th em their confidence back." "The season may not have been a success to the student body but the football team told me they thought of themselves as winne rs and that they had a successful season because they united as a whole , as one ," Coach Todd Barnett said. "Our defense stepped up at times when the offense was struggling yet our offense was still unable to produce the points. It's not the offensive team 's fault the whole season was a whole team effort, " he added. - "' CD Q) en 0 :J Sports 109 Cl ...0 .... 0 0 u..

The freshman football team went 8-0 and were the only freshman to ever have a perfect record according to Athletic Director Cyle Forney. For their conference championship the whole team received medals.

This football team was one of the hardest working team s I've ever coach and I'm proud to be called their coach. " Mr. Forney said , "This football program is being built on the shoulders of these students . The coaches can coach, but it is all up to the players on the team if they have the desire to win they will put forth maximum effort in order to win and that's what happened with this freshman football team. They had the desire to win this season." Ass istant Principal John Neal said , "I am very pleased how far thi s fre shman football program has com e t hese las t few years and what Coach Don aldso n has done with this program.

The team was fired up and their hard work showed what they accomplished through out the year. The team and even the coach were fired up. The team showed their enthusiasm by what they did during the meets, and Coach Doug Muehlig showed his enthusiasm when he was flipped over a yellow fire hydrant. Coach Muehlig showed his biking skills when the team was running down to the Narrows for practice. As the team crossed the street the yellow fire hydrant on the Walgreens sidewalk just appeared out of nowhere and coach Muehlig flipped right over the fire hydrant. "It was the funniest thing ever, " sophomore Bryan Moraine said. "This season was a lot harder than last year," jun ior Adam Fritz said. The practices consisted of more quantity and quality run ning. This could be becau se of the new assistant coach . Track Coach Bob Nielson helped out during the season with the team. He brought tougher work outs and knowledge ft\ to the team.

A lot of times at the beginning and the middle of th eir season the girls scrimmaged the boys' sophomo re and junior varsity teams during practice. "I liked playing against them because they were physical and we knew we would see that in the games," sophomore Sara Brown said. The girls fin ished with a 4-18 season , with the biggest game co ming in their last regular season game against Sioux City West. "It was really special fo r me because it was Seni or Night and it was my last home game ," seni or Ti na Bonacci said. Bonacci was the only senior on the team . "She was a great team leader and I know next year she will be missed very much bec ause of her leadership," sophomore Rachel Nagu nst said . Throughout the season the girls lost a few close games that cou ld have gone either way. "Unfortunately a lot of the games that where close Girls' Basketball did not go the way that we wanted them to go. It was also unfortunate that though we improved throughout the season that we couldn 't win those very close games ," Brown said . Pl aying in the new conference the girls played a lot of very good teams and even a few that where ranked in th e: state . "I feel playing against some of those teams that were ranked and playing much tough er teams th an th e past years helped us very much because we played our hardest and we learn ed from the experi ence," Nagunst said . "I feel throughout the season as we started to wi n a couple impressive games we started getting the respect that we deserved," sophomore Molly Johnson said. The gi rls had so me very impressive win s comi ng against Missou ri Valley, Omaha Roncalli and Boystown . Two of those wi ns were impressive road wi ns against Boystown and Missouri Valley. "It has been one of the more impressive seasons over the past few years," Bonacci said Junior Andrea Crane tries to deny the pass on defense as the rest of her team look on.

Wrestling Their Way It was just another season for the wrestling team, during the year they had three wrestlers out of the 12 had a chance to go to state, These wrestlers were senior Jason Mickey and freshman Bryce Carruthers and sophomore Adam Daniels. The team practiced every night anywhere from 1-3 hours. "There were 14 weight classes , but we were only able fill 12 so we had two weight classes, which hurt our season, " according to sophomore Steve Mowery. Many of the teammates had goals for the season. Freshman Bryce Carruthers wanted to make it to state, which he accomplished. "The way I made it to state was to wrestle the best I could and train hard ," Carruthers said . Sophomore Adam Daniels also had a goal , it was to make it to state and beat the number one rank ed wrestler. "The hardest thing for me throug hout the season was cutting weight and doing the th ings I had to do to make it to where I wanted to be ," Daniels said. Freshman Bryce Carru the rs is th e first ever fre shman Ye llow Jacket to make it to state . Carruthers said he just wanted to keep the name in the family . Carruthers grandfather Bob Hunt was a two time state champion for the Yellow Jackets. Mickey also went to state for the first time ever. The thing that he liked about the season was he enjoyed going in the meet knowing he had a chance to win and thinking it may be his final match every time he stepped on the mat. A new member of the te am was a female wrestler, the first in school history. Foreign exchange student Stephie Fehse was the first girl ever to join the team. She wrestled seven match es and won one. Fehse said, "Since I was the first female ever, I tho ught I wo uld be treated differently than the other guys, but everybody on the team liked me. My goal for the season was to stay on the mat for at least one minute before getting pinned ," Fehse added. The wrestli ng team had two new coaches , due to coach Witt's retirement. Head coach Shawn Kelly and assistant coach Todd McGinnis. The wrestlin~ team liked the new coaches. They still knew they wou ld have to do the same thing they did when coach Witt was here.

I think it was a good thing that we had a team with A.L. , it shows that we could be a team ,'' forei gn exchange student Kolberg said. A relay team qualified to compete at state. One member of that team was Allen. Allen was the first student from Tee Jay that has gone to state in over 15 years. Allen was part of a 200-meter relay team that competed at the State Competition . "The competitions we competed in were fun,'' Perales said. "Over the season there were some hard times but for the most part it was fun," Allen said. Practices were from 3 p.m . to 6 p.m . on week days ~nd 8 ~.m. to 10 a.m. on weekends. The team practiced six days a week. 'The practices were toug h and time consuming ,'' Perales said . Although the practices were time consum ing, the time they put into it paid off. " lronman & Swimming Not only were the swimming practices time consuming , the lronman had to spend a lot of time in the weightroom. Some students would be in there every day during Physical Education classes and after school. " I went to the weight room after school about three or four times a week," sophomore Aaron McFarland said. There was a new addition to the lronman coaching staff , the new addition was science teacher Jill Nusser. "I wanted to get involved with the school outside of class, " Ms. Nusser said . The new coach ing style created harder workouts and different techniques "The team has never had a female competitor to help them before,'' Ms. Nusser said. There were not as many members in lronman compared to the last few years. The lronm an program started out with 53 participants and finished with about 36.

This was not as many as there were in past years but, the team was still pretty impressive according to Coach Pat Nepple. To make up for their decrease in numbers the team increased its practice time and rigorous drills. "Last season we didn't work as much and just messed around a lot, but this season was way different . We practiced as hard as we could every second of the day," sophomore Tara Stevens said. A lot of the girls on the track team had person al bests beating all of their other times. "I couldn't believe I threw the shot put 35"10. All I did was pick it up and throw it and somehow it was either me or the wind that got to it," senior Stacy Gray said. The team saw a new assistant coach that helped them . Coach Dave Lutz had his fi rst year coaching the girls' track team and said , "It was a wonderful experienced. I had a blast doing it." Girls' Track The track team didn't accomplish winning every meet but concentrated on working hard and earning everything they got. The team concentrated on improving their personal records. "I liked doing track for Coach Nepple because he has a lot of heart, " freshman Tasha Radke said. The numbers in track over the last few years have been down in size because most of the girls involved in track are also involved in other sports. The coaches and track members were trying really hard to get a big increase in numbers. " I feel that if we get a lot of people out for track we will be better off and get a better chance at competing," freshman Heather Kern es said . "A lot of the girls were underclassman so it will be beneficial to the team next year because most of the girls will be return ing to the team. They will already know what they are doing and what they will be expected to do next season," Coach Nepple said. Unfortunately the reco rd didn't show all the girl s' talents and hard work. The team still tried extremely hard and gave it thei r all even when they were down Assistant Coach Lori Williams added.

Senior Mike Lewis also qualified in the in the Open 400 meter dash. "I had so much fun running at the state meet, even though it did hail on me when I was finishing my race," sophomore Eric McComb said. The team suffered many injuries during the season. "I got ill before the state meet so I could not run at the state meet," junior Chad Summer said. "It was hard having some people hurt because we real ly could have used them," Coach Bob Neilson said . The boys also practiced the whole year without a track. The team would either run up to Wilson or driv e there to run on their track. " It's really disappointing when we don't even have our track to run on, " sophomore Josh Cornelison said. The 4x1 00 and 4x200 relays qualified for the Drake Relays in Des Moines. Seniors Shaun Hollenbach, Mike Lewis, Aaren Andersen and Chad Sum mer were on the relays that qualified for Drake.

The team was led by a great group of seniors, 10 of them in total according to Coach Doug "It was great having them around and Muehlig. they also told us not to do anything bad so it didn't make the coaches mad ," freshman Rau l Orellana said. The team's great leadership led them to win the Glenwood Coed meet. They finished first out of eight teams. "It was awesome winning that meet because it's my last year and I wanted to win at least one meet," senior Nick Gaddy said. Many people qualified for the State Meet, seven people in total. The 4x100 , 4x200, 4x400 , 1600 medley, and Lewis in the 400. Even though they didn 't have a great showing in the meet they we re still happy just to be there.

The. girls tied the school record for the most wins in a season. Coach Mark Royer kept the girls on the field at all times, by keeping them busy doing drills. The practice schedule was very time consuming. The team had to practice from 3:45-6 p.m. every day during the summer at the Wilson Soccer Fields. "We won the first game against Beatrice at the T.J soccer field. I was really excited that we won our first game," junior Gemayle Floyd said. During the season there were also some rituals preformed by the team . Before each game the girls would warm up, say a prayer before the first half and then the girls would also say K.B.T.J before the second half. Besides the practices and the games the girls also had to battle the weather during the summer. The weather would be hot one day and then rainy or cloudy the next day. When it rained outside during practice the girls would play handball, which is a game that is a mixture of many different types of sports, to keep themselves in shape. "Playing inside is really fun but the wood floor really hurt my knees," senior Ashlee Bonar said. * .£ Girls' Soccer ~ During the season there were some hot days that made some of the team get heat stroke which made them have to sit out of the practices. The girls did many fundraisers during the season to help raise money to participate in tournaments and for transportation. The team also did community service to show their appreciation for their .community. "We picked up trash around the school as our community service. It was gross," sophomore Kelsey Kermoade said. In the last game of the season the girls played in the Semi-Finals against St. Albert. The girls lost the game 5 - 2, but all in all they came out in the top as a team. "I thought we played really well but a lot of weird things happened during the season. It was a domino effect with the players leaving. Althoug h we learned from each game we played and used this learning from our mistakes to do better the next time," sophomore Sarah Byers said. As the season went on the girls worked well as a team and used every person on the team as a key player.

On Saturday May 19 the boys' soccer team headed up to Des Moines Valley to play in the substate tournament. The boys played the number one team in the state, Des Moines Valley. The boys played a good game the final score was 4-2 with Des Moines Valley the winner. " We did better then I thought and we played pretty well," junior Jared Dostal said. The team didn't walk off the field as losers but they walked off as winners, knowing that they played a good game he added. With the help of their Coach Gail Andersen, the boys had a pretty good season. They practiced every day at Woodrow Wilson's soccer fi eld from 3:15-5:15 p.m. "The practices helped us a lot for our games," senior Billy Rock said. When ever the weather got bad they boys would play indoors. Before each game the team would chant together the word 'Chair', which only the team members knew what it meant. The coach would make the boys do laps arou nd the soccer field, practice kicking goals and a variety of other activities that helped to condition them. "I think the practices helped out a lot when it came down to playing the games," junior Chad Summer said. The practices were meant to build up the teams self-esteem and make them want to do better according to Coach Andersen. A new addition to the team was freshman Chris Rock. Rock transferred from Lewis Central at the semester. He joined his older brother senior Billy Rock on the soccer field. C. Rock even earned a spot on the varsity team as a freshman. "I really enjoyed being on the varsity team. There were so many good players. It was nice being able to play on the same team as my brother. It was the only year we could both play at Tee Jay together, " said C. Rock. "Although we did not reach my original goal of maki ng it to state, we did have a good season. The younger members stepped up to help out and it helped make our winn ing season," junior Sonny Turner said. Many of the games were close th roughout the year. Three of the wins came in shoot outs . "The team won in sudden death shoot out against Roncalli 4-3. That was quite an experience," B. Rock said. The other shoot outs were against Glenwood and Riverside at the TJ Classic.

Photo by Fabian Kolberg. .c Doubles See Win A new coach for the girls' tennis teams added to the excitement of a good season, and also added to the experience in fundamentals. The boys' tennis team showed progress throughout the season. The teams did not have many players but the coaches managed to preform well with the few players they had. " We had a good season, there was a lot of improvement and a lot of first time players such as Fabian Kolberg and Matt Dennis," Coach Jack French said. "Although I did not play much tennis in Germany, I got an opportunity to play and improve while at school. I will always remember when I hit myself in the nose with the racket at the LC match," foreign exchange student Kolberg said. Players also set goals to reach before practices even started. "My goal was to make the varsity team and I did. It was very exciting," junior Karen Taylor said. "My goal for the year was to win at least three matches and beat A.L. I'm very happy t~at I achieved that goal," sophomore Liz Mawhiney said. The boys' tennis team also had a doubles team that p laced second in the Missouri River Conference. The doubles team was St. Albert student Phil Danzer and junior Ryan Hardie. There was also a noticeable improvement in the boys' tennis season. The team had lost to Denison at the beginning of the season but the last match against them they won. "The Denison wi n alone showed how the team improved during the season and it was a good feeling," Coach French said. The girls' team had a tough season, but a rebuilding one. "We had a tough season but it turned out to be a good season," coach Kristy Harris said. There were many memories formed during the season. "My most memorable moment was when we got lost going to Omaha," Taylor said. "My most memorable moment was when Anjel Garcia and I won our first doubles match," Mawhiney said. As with an y sport there are injuries that occurred. "At Regionals I was running back and forth and when I went to hit the ball I fell flat on my face. I was so embarrassed and I now have a scar on my ankle," junior Heidi Kimbal l said. With all the changes made to the teams, they seemed to deal with them all without any difficulties.

For the students and the faculty they had to reflect on the changes that the year had brought to them. The student body reflected upon the fact that the underclassmen had extra days of school added on to the year because of snow days. Meanwhile the senior's were busy making changes to the graduatio plans that they had in the beginning of the year, because of complications at the Council Bluffs Stadium during the year. The teacher's were also very busy themselves with making extra homework plans for the end of the year, and getting ready for the fi nals. For the senior's who were moving forward in their lives and the juniors taking over as "The Seniors,"that left the sophomores and the freshmen to move up in life and to learn from all the changes that were made du ri ng the year.

Division Page The Last Of The Changing "If you do this, you will be a better person for it," journalism teacher Deb Goodman always said and she was always right too. Thanks Goodman, I have became a better person for doing all of the things in yearbook no one else wanted to do unless they were made to. From yearbook I have learned a lot (two words) of things that I can use in life outside of high school. Like handling deadlines at the last minute and surviving to tell about it, well some of us lived through it. You learn how to handle all most anything after being the editor for the yearbook. For the majority of us being procrastinators, I think that the book turned out very well. I wanted to thank Fabian for coming to America and helping us with our computers. Thanks to Charlene for returning to the yearbook staff after moving back to Iowa. Even though your first day back you had more work than some of the other staff, but you handled it and didn't complain once. Then there were the Student Life editors who did more than their share also. Thank you Jamie for taking on other people's stories plus all the other things you had to do between yearbook and The Signal. Thanks Abby for all the help. There was also the ad manager who sold all the ad space so we could make this book happen , thanks Niki. Thank you Rachael for being a senior section editor who never through a fit about doing your job. Gemayel thank you for all of your help with the book and thank you for killing all of the sen ior disk just so I could do more work than I needed to. Are you sure you don't have a metal plate in your head? Thank you to all of the staff members and to everyone who bought this book and who made the -Sasha year happen.

The Journalism Department acquired $50,000 in computer equipment which helped them publish more efficiently. The supplies were given to them when the print shop closed down . "The new computers worked great! The only problem with having all the computers is the editors don't get to see the stories until they are already on the computer and most stories need a little revision," newspaper Editor-in-Chief Tammie Miller said . There were other downfalls to the new setup for the newspaper staff besides story revisions. "It's hard to load stuff. It gets real crowded with everybody in the computer lab," junior April Briggs and senior Sara Booker said. The crowds in the computer lab were probably due to the large class size of the newspaper staff.

Some themes included toga night, hawaiian , disco and costume. Some students also tried out for SWIBA, which stands for Southwest Iowa Honor Band. The students that performed well at their auditions were chosen to participate in the SWIBA honor band. The students that attended SWIBA spent the entire day at Lewis Central practicing the music selection given to them . "The award you get by attending the SWIBA is self pride , a good expe rie nce , self confidence , self improvement and a day to see some good looking chicks. It also looks good on college applications," sophomore Ryan Hardie said. River City Conference Honor Band was another activity band members had the opportu nity to pursue. River City Conference Honor Band consisted of some of th e best stu dents from surrounding schools getting together to play as a group. After just one day of practicing, these students performed a concert. At the end of the year some band members took a trip to Worlds of Fun.

Most students didn't even know the difference between concert band and jazz band. Jazz was a smaller group made up of approximately 20 students and instead of concert band music, they played more up beat tunes. 'The songs are more phallenging then what we play in band," junior Nick Ashley said. Jazz band members had to be very dedicated. They started practice at 7:15 a.m. every morning and they also had to practice sectionals on their own time. "We lost a lot of talented people because of the long hours you have to put into it but we gained a more motivated group," Ashley said. The jazz band took home 3rd place at a competition at UNO. "We were pretty happy with placing 3rd out of all the schools there ," sophomore Ryan Hardie said. Numbers can make a big difference and it did for the orchestra. The group expanded from 20 stude nts t o 40. "Having more people in the orchestra has been a big improvement," teache r Brenda Copeland said. "We play harder music since there are more people and we are also louder so we had a lot better sound t han befo re," junior Ricky Thompson said. This was the first year the group had unifo rms acco rd ing to o rc he stra p resident jun io r J enn ife r Pa ul son.

Effo rt and de dic atio n we re something that came easy to sophomore Amanda Phillps and senior Stephaine Gray, who were selected for UNO Honor Orchestra. Between jazz band and orchestra the effort came from the heart and it showed in their performances. ............................................... Jazz Band and Orchestra The choir had caroling and individual highlights in mind for the year. Another trip to All-State for Senior Branden Hunt was on the agenda also. Hunt returned to All-State for the second year in a row. He also attended National Central American Choral Directors Association. "I was really excited. It's been like a curse people usually make it their junior year but not their senior year, I was real excited," Hunt said. After preforming in the fine arts assembly the choir went around the school and caroled. The caroling during the Christmas season brought a happy feeling throughout the school. " It was really fun. A lot of people came out of the classrooms to watch and sing with us, that made it more fun," sophomore Jenny Basch said. Caroling was a true joy for the carolers. " My favorite songs were Christmas Tree, Night of Silence and I'd Enter Your Garden. I really liked those ones," freshman Misty May said. The freshmen adjusted to some changes compared to junior high. These changes ranged from more people to more freedom." There was a lot more women so you can hardly hear the boys," freshman Brian Moraine said. "It's a lot better than junior high, there's lots more freedom," freshman Matt Naylor said. In May the students competed in individual and group competitions for ratings on their performances. Some of the concerts that were held during the year had to be held in the choir room itself. The students didn't mind having to preform in the choir room it was just crowded for parents. "The parents were really crowded and there wasn't much room for them. Besides that, it felt like a normal concert as usual," sophomore Cassie Ohle said. Mixed choir, chamber choir and freshmen choir had a good year in performing. Caroling and All- State were just a few 1hings they experienced. It was the freshmen's first year to experience some new changes and have different people to sing along with .

Junior Erica Walling and senior Justin Norton take a break from dancing to entertain the audience with a duet. Jefferson Edition and Second Edition both came home from state with superior ratings after months of hard work and preparation. 'This group was one of the best I've had in a long time. They had great cooperation and they worked really hard together," cho ir director Jerry Gray said. The students involved didn't mind all the hard work that went into preparing for s;ompetitions . "Swing choir is such a wonderful experience for dedicated students who are willing to do their best. It is a lot of work but you don't notice because it is a lot of fun," sophomore Kassi Irwin said. The area of the performances that presented students with the most challenge was the chorography that they were required to learn. "The chorography was fun , but it was also very difficult. The part I liked the best was the couple dancing ," Irwin said . The year came to an end when the Jefferson Edition recei ved superi or ratings at both the State Swing Choir competition and the UNO Swing Choir competition. "Getting a one rating at the State competition was the one goal we all wanted to achieve for the year and we did!" junior Justin Will iam said . Before state competition students also participate d in three oth e r competitions which were held at Peru State Co ll ege , Lewis Central and Bellevue East. St ud ents al so participated in various fund-raisers to help pay for the expenses th at they had. The money raised from these fundraisers went to help .Pay for the cost of the outfits that the students preformed in. The cost of these outfits ranged from $190 to $220. Many of the students were proud of everything that the group managed to achieve. "We improved a lot since last year. I am really proud of everything we have accomplished," senior Justin Norton said. The hard work and cooperation was what helped these groups to succeed at competitions and achieve the goals they had set tor themselves in the beginn ing. "This group has been a wonderful group to work with, they are the most focused group I have ever had ," Mr. Gray said. Swing Choir Drama students assumed the identity of regular high school students for the fall musical production of Yearbook. "I didn't have to explain characters. They were the characters. It was their own age group, their own problems," director John Gibson said . No costumes were used. "We got to wear our own clothes and use our own names. We used the school colors and one of the old yearbooks in the musical, " senior Chaylie McCloud said. This was made possible by the fact that the musical was based on real life and experiences of modern teenagers. The cast worked fast to get the production ready for performance. There was less than the usual amount of time for rehearsal and preparation. The rehearsal times varied and caused problems for some actors. "Rehearsals were fine for me, but it was too late for my baby," senior Laraina Michalski said. Other students found it stressing to balance the rigorous rehearsal schedule and their regular life. "All the late nights when we had to keep a high level of ene rgy, when it wasn 't physically possible was the worst part," sophomore Becky Jolly said . Another trial for the cast , according to Jolly, was the fact that, "In a musical , you get people who are in just for the music and are not used to acting, so you have to go slow for them." The long hours were made bearable by th e hu moro us moments d uring reh earsals. "It was so funny when Mr. Gibson would get so excited about what he was telling the cast to do, that he wou ld break the back of his chair," Jolly said . The students th emselves were also a source of amusement. "During a lunch scene, Sarah threw a piece of food and Darrell picked it up off the stage and ate it," sophomore Staci Abraham said. This musical was different from past ones, like Kiss Me Kate. "It was a more modern show, it really fit us," Jolly said. In many ways this mus ica l was considered special. "It's the first time this musical has been done in the Midwest," senior Jessi Raim said. Fine Arts Junior Chandel Scott takes the microphone to sing a solo during choir class.

Thespians kept themselves very busy. Between the Thespian convention, Cafe 143, Tommy Awards and inductions they had a full schedule. The Thespian convention was held in Des Moines. Not only did Thespians learn a lot, they also found ways to keep entertained. They attended the dance on the first night, went swimming and took part ia the raffling off of famous autographs. Thespians were also shown many one-act plays and were offered different workshops for them to attend. Some of these workshops included improve, dance, stage fighting, stage craft and stage makeup, "There were a lot of helpful ideas. We learned more about stage expression, costume ideas, hints on how to set up the stage and much more. We also had a lot of fun,"Thespian President Darrell Adams said. Instead of having a spring play the Thespians decided to go a different way. They turned the drama room into a coffee house with Cafe' 143. "Cafe' 143 was one of our creative pieces that was brought together by the students," junior Benjamin Vorth man said . Students were under the direction of Adams. They kept the entertainment going by providing a variety of dances, skits, monologues, songs, poetry and music. Thespian Inductions and Tommy Awards we re held May 12. Many studen ts won awards fo r t heir pe rformances and ha rd work throughout the year. John Gibson was not able to attend the ceremony for various reasons but he still participated. In a videotaped message Mr. Gibson instructed the new Thespians on how to conduct themselves next year and to not let the drama department die. "It wasn't the same not having Gibson there. Ever since I transferred and got involved with the drama department I waited for my turn to receive my hug from him and take the final bow with him ," Thespian Secretary Michael O'Neil said. However Mr. Gibson did give the bow with the seniors on the tape. The group kept busy with their many activities throughout the year. Thespians Practice, competition, and a lot of hard work. These few things went along with many after school activities, including speech. Being involved in speech consisted of a lot of after school practicing to help prepare students for their competitions. There were two types of speech competition, large group and individual. "Both the large group and the individuals worked really hard to achieve what they did," Drama teacher John Gibson said. The large group competitions were full of one act plays, readers theater, and television news and events. The students involved in the large group started practice before Christmas break but all their hard work paid off at their competitions. "The group I performed in did really well at districts and state. When we were scored at state we got two superior ratings for our performance," senior Michael O'Neil said. Along with the large group there was also the individual competitions. The individual competitions included 14 different events. The hard work that individuals put into practice finally paid off in the end for the students who were involved with speech. ''The practices were worth it in the end. They made sure that we were getting everything just right," sophomore Becky Jolly said. There were eight individuals who went on to the state competitions. The students that went were juniors Megan BeVirt, Lyn Burk, sophomores Amanda Branch, Jessica Armstrong, Tammy Hempel, Becky Jolly and freshman C.J. Carlson. The events that they competed in at state were acting, poetry, prose, radio news, story telling, after dinner speaking and improvisation. The state speech competitions were March 17 and 18 at Abraham Lincoln in Des Moines. Both the individuals and the large groups had many hard days and nights of practicing to prepare for their performances. "The competitions were fun , but there was a lot of hard work that had to be put into the performances themselves," Armstrong said.

Determined Paul Burnett runs past his opponents towards the finish line during the 50 meter dash. Around the track at the Council Bluffs Stadium was a group of students that are often overlooked. These students were the special education students who were there tor a chance to participate in the Special Olympics. There were numerous events held during the Special Olymp ics , so numerous in fact that the students didn't have the chance to participate in all of them. Some of the activities these students did participate in were the standing and running long-jump, softball and ten nis ball throw, 50 and 100 yard dash , 25 meter walk and other walking events. According to associate Jan Smith , the activities did not start out in a traditional way. ''There were no opening ceremonies , but despite that, everything was still running a little behind ," Mrs. Smith said. Students that excelled at the local level were then given the opportunity to go to state. Students who received first place in any of the events were th en eligible to go onto state. "We had lots of state qualifiers," Mrs. Smith said. These qualifiers included Chris Lutz for the 100 meter dash, Sara Ottesen and Micheal Allen for both the 50 meter dash and standing long-jump and Mike Looney and Chrystal Walker for the softball throw and standing long-jump. Even students who didn't win the opportuni ty t o go to sta t e w e re rewarded. Everyone who participated in the days' activities received a ribbon or medallion. Many organizations helped to keep the events runni ng smoothly. These organizations included ASTRA, student council and the cheer and porn squads. Students found that helping at this event was a very rewarding experience. "It was good feel ing to see the expressions on thei r faces as they approached the finish line and received their ribbons," junior Rachael Andrews said. The basketball games that were held earlier in the year, didn't go as smoothly as the spring track and field events. ''The volunteers didn't do that great of a job," Mrs. Smith said. T he Special activiti es provided special education students the chance to take center stage and be recognized.

"If I don't like one sub, I will have to deal with them all of the time," junior Mike Lewis said. Why do subs sub? ''That is probably the hardest question I have been asked" Joe Shick said . Some subs do it because they like the teaching an d stu dents . M r. Shic k subs because he fe e ls comfortable and he likes the kids most of the time.

District and building administrators decided that all staff members from cooks to janitors to teachers must wear Identification Badges. In a teacher's meeting the district and building administrators, decided that identification badges wou ld help keep track of all the traffic in and out of the bu ilding . "It doesn't keep a perfectly secure building but it serves its purpose. There are 137 adults working here plus all the parents and visitors that come in, they're hard to keep track of," Principal Warren Weber said. Mr. Weber was not the only one who approved of the idea. It also served as a way for new teachers in the building to get to know one another. "I hate asking teachers their names everyday," the new psychology teacher Mary Beth Kueny said. The badges also helped the students to learn all Academics the names of the teache rs in the building. "The badges help kios learn who the teachers are and they also show who is in au thority at the school, " Attendance Clerk Amy Moffit said. Most teachers wore the badges as a way to help improve the security in the school. "Security is something everybody wants in a school," physics teacher Terry Todd said. Not all teachers believed that the badges wou ld improve the security. "It's a duplication of last years efforts," English teacher Jack French said. Others believed that if badges had to be worn to increase the security it should apply to everyone in , the building and not just the faculty. " I don't mind wearing the badge but I think that if we have to wear them to increase the security the kids should have to . wear them too," journalism teacher Deb Goodman said.

The new class was taught by technology teacher Ida Jessen and computer usage teacher Dale Kassmier. "Mrs. Jessen is a new teacher, but they are both teaching computer usage. They were the experts and the best teachers to teach the class," Assistant Principal John Neil said. Fresh tech teaches the freshmen to use the different computer programs such as : Microsoft Word , Power Point, the Internet and the page composer. "We are trying to give them a focus on how to use the computer. It isn't I an indepth class, just a brush up on the basics," Mrs. Jessen said. The freshman class was divided into two groups. The first group had fresh tech first and third quarter while t he second group had it second and fourth. 'They only attend class four days a week and have P. E. on Fridays. It's neat how they set it up," Mrs. Jessen said. The class included lessons on how to build your own web page and search the web for homework projects.

For every class that was taken students received three college credits , "Depending on the college and your major the credits could transfer as core credits or electives. For example Iowa State University won't except college Trig credits as core credits if the student's major is engineering ," Counselor Kelly Scott said. Some examples of the college classes that were offered were: Human Biology, Trigonometry and Computer Internals. Sophomore Heidi Kimball took Trig and Human Biology. "I enjoyed taking these classes because they were fun and it's also less credits I have to worry about when I enter college ," Kimball said . Senior Jennifer Sharp took her courses at IWCC. The courses that she chose to take were Computer Internals, Cobol I and Programing Logic, "For every hour that I spent in class, I had two hours of homework," Sharp said. Taking college classes can be both a good and bad thing. "I recommend taking these courses as long as the students pass the asset test. A danger of these courses is if student fails or withdraws it can mess up a student's financial aid ," senior counselor Nancy Hale said.

Each year, physical education class offers square dancing as a course for students to learn many different steps and techniques of dancing. However, it was different when it came to learning the dances. Rather than the same old promenade home and alaman left, students found themselves swinging , waltzing and even hip hop dancing. "For the freshman , we usually stick with square dancing because they are new to the dances . However, for the upperclassmen, we wanted to give them a wide variety of dances that help them to be more social and help with their coordination. They can use the skills in the future for school dances or weddings," P.E. teacher Lavonne Pierson said. The variety of dance steps seemed to find favor in the students' eyes. " I li ked swing dancing the best because it was fun to see everyone get into it," senior Crystal Wa ite said. P.E. teacher Sharon Semler provided her students with the chance to be stars. "Each class was put into groups of three or four students and togethe r t hey produced their own aerobic video. After they were done with their videos they had their choice to show thei r fellow classmates or they could show it to another class," Ms. Semler said. "The aerobic video production was not all that bad, it was actually kind of fun," senior Mike Mendoza said .

Fieldtrips Provide Knowledge by Jena Schuster The freshmen hallways took a break from the classroom to get hands on experience with field trips. Some of the field trips were to the movies , the UNO Planetarium and the Water Works. Many freshmen felt that the planetarium was not only fun but educational as well. "My favorite field trip was when we went to the planetarium , because we got out of school and we learned about the stars," freshman Jennifer Tillman said. "Going to the planetarium was fun , I liked it because it was interesting and better than the Water Works ," freshman Julie Grashorn said . The Force team went to Roberts Park at the beginning of the year. "It was fun , we got to play games and it gave us some time to meet the other students in the hall ," freshman Rachel Neill said. The force team also went to the Water Works that same day. "I thought that the Water Works was interesting because I got to learn how they purified the water after we go to the bathroom ," freshman Josh White said. Freshman weren 't the only students who left the building for field trips. All the trigonometry classes took a break from book work to visit the Western Heritage Museum. They used the math skills they learned in class to measure the main room of the building. "I was grateful for the break in book work. It's easier to do math if you can see how it can actually be used. My favorite part was lunch in the Old Market. It was better than school food ," senior Laurie Park said .

Dance instructor Kay Nelson Carson better known as Miss Kay from the Dance Company worked with P.E. teacher Lavonne Pierson's seventh hour class on their dancing skills. This wouldn't have been possible had it not been for P.E. teacher Sharon Semler. Ms. Semler approached Miss Kay at a party with the idea. "I was at a mutual friend 's birthday party and Ms. Semler approached me on the idea of dance in the school curriculum . I agreed that it was a great idea," Miss Kay said. Students also thought that the dancing was a good idea. "It was the same old square dancing that we always learn ," senior Nicki Annin said . Some students found ways to use their new dancing abilities in their social life. "It was a great experience for me. I know I won 't be standing at prom this year," senior Laraina Michalski said. The dances taught were all choreographed by Miss Kay. "I go on the road to dance conventions in Kansas City, Minnesota and Hollywood and take classes myself," Miss Kay said.

The video demonstrated a device that would allow a student to 'float ' on a cushion of air. The students decided to make one of their own . Terry Todd , the physics teacher, obtained some supplies from Menards and the class got to work. The class constructed the device with a little help from other classes. Wood shop cut a large circle out of plywood. The class then used an old shop vacuum as the air source. Some landscaping plastic was used for the skirt under the device to trap the air to lift the students off the ground. Since the class had no plans to follow, most of the work was 'trial-and-e rror ' . The biggest problem the class had to overcome was the design of the ski rt around the bottom of the device. Several early trials ended in failure because not enough a i r was escaping from the 'skirt' or in some cases too much air was escaping. At times, the plastic would blow off the device from the air pressure. Finally, the skirt was designed so that enough air would escape , however now the problem was that the holes in the skirt we re misplaced . "The advantage of using something like this in the classroom is that motion studies are difficult to construct due to friction. With a large amount of friction removed , subjects like inertia and Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws of motion can be easier to visualize and study," Mr. Todd said. How fast can the Hovercraft go?

It took most the summer to order the materials and machines needed . The reason for the new copy centerwasthattheprintingteacher retired and the school could not find a suitable replacement so they decided to put in the copy center. To get things printed the teachers had a choice of sending what they wanted printed by e-mail or they could send a disk to room 109. The teachers and departments were charged per copy for whatever they had printed. Three students worked in the copy center. They were seniors, Branden Hunt, Sara Booker and Darrell Adams. The copy center printed about 560 ,319 cop ies each semester. That is about 120 rooms filled of paper that was used each semester. Some of the teachers like the idea of being able to send things by e-mail and having it printed for them whenever they want it. "I really like the fact that I can send things from home and they are ready for me the next day when I return to school," English teacher Sandy Leaders said. Other teachers don't like it for various reasons and there are some teachers who don't use it, "I sent something to the copy center to get printed and it came back with the e-mail information printed on the top of the page, I didn't like that so I didn't send any thing by e-mail again," science teacher Bud Mead said .

Jacket Java was run by Foods II students and it was open before and after school for all students and faculty wanting a snack or drink. The food was freshly made and consisted of muffins, cookies, Poptarts and cinnamon rolls. Students found the prices at Jacket Java to be more affordable than the gas station. The prices ranged from $.50 to 1.50. Jacket Java was also healthier than buying food and drinks elsewhere. The students concentrated on making all the snacks with less sugar. Many students found Jacket Java to be very convenient for them. "I think Jacket Java was a good idea, especially in the winter, because when students come in from the cold, we can get something warm to eat or drink," senior Becky Driver said. Foods students also spent time in class preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for the faculty. The meal provided a good chance for the students to practice their cooking abilities.

Academics by Sasha Miller There were many new programs at school , including the new weekly vocabulary words. The words were established to help improve students scores on standardized tests. The new weekly vocabulary words were not established to take the place of the vocabulary words given by the teache rs . T he freshmen teams gave t h~ ir stud ents ten word each week in addition to the fo ur wo rds being learned through out the re st of the school. "There is a link to vocabu lary and the reading co mp rehens ion level of students, and we are trying to give the stu dents that link", Assistant Prin cipal Judy O'Brien said . The pro gram was a pilot program , meaning that it may or may not return after the results in the spring . The new vocabulary program decision was made by the building com mittee members. Teachers in their own departments had to pick from ten to fifteen words to be added to the vocabulary list. The committee members then made the final lists of words. There were many different thoughts and feelings about the new vocabulary program . "I think that it was a good idea, so when we see these words on test we will know wh at they mean" , junior Ch ri stina Bent said. " I think that vocabu la ry words are very importa nt , you can increase in many different ways by knowing vocabu lary," social studies teacher Mary Beth Ku ney said."

That's why three years ago Conflict Mediation was started. Students that were interested in becoming a conflict mediator had to fill out applications at the end of their freshman year, then the process of selection to be a conflict mediator began. It was not an easy process. Once students were selected they had to go through training. "Every year we go to Iowa Western for Conflict Mediation orientation . We practice listening skills, mediation skills, eye contact etc .," junior Jeff Myers said. When there are not conflicts they also help in the counseling center. "The mediators really helped us so that we didn't have to do a lot of run ning around," secretary Ann Clinton said. "We run passes, and anything else they need help with , otherwise we just do our homework," junior Ricky Thompson said. The mediat ors have faced almost every possible situation that can occur between two people. They use their training and natural ability to help find a way to solve the problem. Solving problems usually comes naturally to the mediators according to senior Luke Bose. "We are called upon by teachers/ counselors/ principals to solve a problem between two students before it escalates, we have also started a tutoring program", junior Nate Thompson said. The hard work and dedication has paid off for these students. "I just want to leave high school and know that I made a difference ," junior Stacy Malone said. "Being a conflict mediator is great! It's fun, you get credit for it, looks good on resumes, and it makes you feel good ," Myers said.

Academics by Nicole Crom Mike Hale, science teacher for Bio-tech, had his students do an experiment with fruit flies. Some students involved in this experiment did not care to much for the fruit flies they worked with. "This experiment was really gross because of all the maggots," senior Carla Pollard said. The fruit fly experiment· lasted for four weeks. Mr. Hale has been conducting this experiment for the past two years. The experiment sounded pretty easy, but it was a little more complicated than what people thought. Students had to read and follow the instructi ons on the lab. The lab students had to place their flies in a test tube and transfer the fli es back into another test tube so they could mate. Mr. Hale stated that in the past two years there have been a couple of students that dropped or let their flies go during the lab. He also said that when the experiment was done, for several weeks after, there would be flies flying around. _ Besides the fruit flies flying around the room there were other mishaps. "Carla Pollard and I were partners together in science and we accidently let the fruit flies go in the room. We had to get down on our hands and knees and crawl around on the floor to pick up the fruit flies we spilled ," senior Nikki Moraine said. This lab was conducted in the midd le of the fi rst semester, but students saw fruit fl ies flying throughout the school annoying students in their classes all year.

Sports I Football Players Brea k Records Story by Lindsey Podraza Throughout the football season there were exciting moments as well as very emotional ones. "One of the worst times was when we lost to A.L. but after the lose we pulled back together because we are all friends," senior Lucas Bose said. The football players came together and invented the new trademark called "The Dirty Bee." It was the new touchdown dance. The dance was seen at the games and pep assemblies. "I had a really good time working the crowd while we were doing the dirty bee. Anything that can get the crowd going is good for me," senior Jared Podraza said. The team showed a surprising comeback at their first home game against Glenwood. "It felt great to be able to come back and win . I just wish more people had stayed for the whole game to see it," senior Chad Dennis said. The football team ended their season with a record of 3-6. 'The team really started to play together well towards the end of the season. If we saw this kind of effort at the beginning of the season it would of been a whole different season," junior Aaren Andersen said. "The team was an exciting football team, it always took them awhile to get going, when they scored in the beginning of a game it made quite a difference. It was pretty exciting having two kids (seniors Jonathan Taylor and Justin Radke) on the team rush over 1,000 yards," Head Coach Dan Strutzenburg said. Taylor and Radke led Southwest Iowa for yards rushed during the season. "It was pretty exciting to lead in yards rushed. I just went with it game by game not even thinking about leading Iowa. It's really cool that I came out on top," Taylor said. He rushed for over 1200 yards in the season. Throughout the season there were some low and high points. "We may not have had a winning season but it was an awesome experience, I'm going to miss all my fellow teammates the most. Next time I go to pick up a football I won't have all my friends on my side," Radke said. Many players were more like family rather than teammates. "Whenever you lose seniors it's like losing a part of yourself and to me they were just like my own sons," Coach Todd Barnett said. Ft. Row: Coach Doug Domi l.d son, Ch~i; St~rY. Sean Bl~e.

One such group was Brain Bowl. The team met every Wednesday in room 109. Math teacher Al Hudek was the adviser and allowed the team to use his room for practice. "We practiced with Trivial Pursuit and buzzers. It was great, except when people got buzzer happy," junior Jessica Raim said . There were four tournaments that the team competed in. These were held at Elkhorn , Bellevue College, Peru State and Shenandoah. "The best part about the Peru competition was when we found the perfect man for Jessi. He was flirting all day," senior Jackie Hammers said. Another such group was the Society of Military Engineers. They met once a week. The goal of the team was to come up with a project that wo uld help the community in some way. The group chose to make a museum according to Raim. Senior Larissa Christensen said , "You learn a lot of things you don't normally think about that involve building and planning. It was a lot of fun." "You discuss real projects with a real engineer. You have to prepare a booklet and a model to compete against other schools. This was a model situation ," Mr. Hudek said. The group was able to wo rk with a local architect. Ron Beal was the professional for this group. No matter which group it was , both Brain Bowl and the Society of Military Engineers showed that they did have the brain power to make it happen. Members of the Society of Military Engineers plan out their next project. The project was a science museum to be placed somewhere in Council Bluffs.

By Richy Prosolow To get away from the monotony of everyday life in Council Bluffs and surrounding communities, during Christmas vacation some of the students of the Drama Department took a trip to Chicago, Illinois. They saw productions such as "Sheer Madness," "The Glass Menagerie" and "Ragtime". The group stayed at the Congress Hotel for five days and four nights. The trip cost just over $600, plus spending money. Senior Anna Mareike Kuhlmeier, a German foreign exchange student, was one of the 22 to go qn the trip. She said, "We went out to eat everyday. We went to shows a lot, too. We went to the · Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood. All of the people we came in contact with were really friendly." Aside from going to the Bahai temple and the shore of Lake Michigan, the group also went to Shedd Aquarium, Northwestern University and Michigan Avenue. "The flight there was scary for me because I'm afraid of flying. It felt good to sing a Christmas carol to the crew on the airplane, though ," Kuhlmeier said.

PHOTO COURTESY OF RICKY THOMPSON Star for a Day Thompson stars with Cosby By Matt De Wolf & Abby Veydt Many people dream of their chance to be a big star. Sophomore Ricky Thompson had the chance to experience being in the spot light. Thompson traveled to New York City on April 8 to be taped for a national television commercial with actor/comedian Bill Cosby. Thompson was given this opportunity because of his involvement in the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America program. Thompson was on a two day all-expense paid trip to New York City. While there, he stayed at the Stan Hope Hotel and toured the city. "I liked the hotel we stayed in. It was expensive and very elegant. I was pretty excited about the whole experience:' Thompson said. Thompson's Big Brother was Mike Gallagher, an IRS worker from Omaha. Gallagher also had four other 'Little Brothers' not including Thompson. Gallagher was nominated for the Big Brother of the Year Award and the T. V. commercial was a way to reward Gallagher for his work and involvement. "The best part of being in New York City was meeting Bill Cosby. It was fun joking around and meeting someone of that caliber," Thompson said. In the past, Thompson has also been able to attend dinners with football stars Lynn Swann and Tommy Frazier. "I went to a dinner with Lynn Swann and one with Tommy Frazier. Mike, his wife, me and my little sister got to go and talk with them and eat dinner:• Thompson said. Cosby Commerc ial On April 12, junior Corey Gray went to All-State fo speech contest. The contest was held at the University of Northerr Iowa. "The best part about it was the traveling . I was able to meet a lot of different people and see a lot of different things," Gray said. Drama teacher John Gibson also made the trip to UNI with Gray. "The only bad thing was that UN I ha a very large campus, so there was a lot of walking around. Once Mr. Gibson thought we were going the right way to where I was performing and it turned out to be the wrong way. So we had to turn around ana walk all the way back," Gray said. Gray was the soul representative from the school. "I was very proud of Corey and the way he represented the school at All-State. It was a beautifu l day or the campus of UNI," Mr. Gibson said . To be able to attend All-State, one must fi rst go Districts. If the student does well enough at Districts. they go onto State. Based on the performance there they are finally given the chance to attend All-State. It takes a lot of work, practice and sacrifice to be good enough to make it to All-State. "You have to keep practicing so you don't forget your speech , but it really is a once in a lifetime experience," Gray said.

"It's very time consuming. We have a lot of practices," senior Nick LeGuillou said. Practice obviously did help the band. Marching band earned many awards. They were first in the Loess Fieldfest , both in their class and overall. They were also first at Clarinda in marching and field competition , among many other awards. LeGuillou said , "Band is one of the best programs to be involved with and also one of the most successful. It's a good opportunity to learn and work in a large group situation." "Band offers you a chance to use your creative talents," junior Chad Dennis said. "It was a lot of stress to get people to work hard and to get them focu sed at the last minute, but the work paid off in the end," Beranek said. The band instructor was David Clark for both marching and concert band. There were two drum majors, seniors Jane Beranek and Shane Ande rson. There were 106 total students in both bands .

One of the many things that the choirs did over the holidays was to visit local businesses and sing Christmas carols. Jefferson Edition performed many times with the Concert Choir. This not only helped the sound quality of the Concert Choir, but it also helped Jefferson Edition to focus more on their music and less on the choreography. ~\S IN THE MA"~ "" 102} ~" * Choir members sing with stardom power Many times, unique things were added to the daily routine to make class more interesting and to help students focus and get away from the daily boredom. One of the unique things that the freshmen were allowed to do was to stand on the chairs. This not only helped the focus, but also helped to improve the posture of many of the students. By Stephanie Ferris When one thinks of the stars in the school, the choir students are not usually the first to be thought of. Although, they are just as involved as thos~ in sports or student organizations. There were three different choi rs that students could join. These included Concert Choir, Freshman Choir and Mixed Choir. Concert Choir was the only audition choir. Sophomore Stacy Malone was in Concert Choir and Mixed Choir. "I loved being involved in both choirs, but my favorite was Mixed Choir because the songs were more fun . In Mixed Choir, we did songs from Disney movies and we also did Top 40 songs. Those in Concert Choir were much harder and more serious " ' Malone said . Th e choirs were involved in many more things than just concerts. Concert Choir also attended Large Group State Contest, Small Group State Contest and the All-City Festival. "I love the stress of getting ready for a competition . It brings out the best in the choir," senior Brandy Merrifield said. Through everything, the choir showed that they could shine . With hard work, perseverance and the drive to succeed they proved that they too could be ~tars .

This concert gave the students a chance to work together with another form of music and also helped to promote all three forms of music to the spectators.

They consisted of a teal dress, shoes and jewelry. The guy's outfits consisted of black pants, white collared shirts, teal vests, shoes and a lapel pin. They were allowed to pay for their outfits by fundraising or paying for it themselves. , '::J'(\OW Cho ir'5' D~ 0 Use voices and moves By Janelle Walters The Second Edition guys had a lot of dance steps to learn to perform in public. These moves required practice every other day and also one night during the week. A few of the places that Second Edition attended were the Bellevue Swing Choir festival, Lewis Central Invitational and All-City Swing Choir Festival. The elementary school tour was cancelled due to inclement weather. PHOTO BY CHAD BOYER Part of Jefferson Edition's performances were solos. Jefferson Edition's Sarah Whitney sang a solo during a performance at the All-City Swing Choir Festival. Some of the other soloists included juniors Matt Story, Branden Hunt and Erin Stanfill. "I thought the most fun part of it all was getting up in front of an audience and singing," Stanfill said. Practice, outfits, competition and lots of time an effort all have to do with show choirs. Jefferson Edition had a record number of 30 partic·· pants. "Having more people this year made it toughe for everyone to learn the choreography and to focu on the music," choir teacher Jerry Gray said. Second Edition had a lower number of participants this year compared to last year's record of 48. ''Ther were 36 students in the group, which made it much easier to get stuff done," sophomore Kira Lupton said Some of the competitions that were attended b both groups were the Bellevue East swing choir festival and state competition. "We got a one at Bellevue East. It was such a great feeling," Second Editior. member junior Stephanie Gray said. Jefferson Edition performed at varios places sucl as Harveys, Sam's Club and for church groups through· out the year. "I am really going to miss Jefferso1 Edition after I graduate. It took a lot of my time , and it was quite stressful at times, too," senior Stephani Nielson said . There was a lot of hard work, time and effo • involved in being in Jefferson Edition or Second Edi tion Being able to perform made the students feel th at it was all worth it. PHOTO BY CHAD BOYER Second Edition girls sang their hearts out at their performances. The Second Edition girls' outfits cost about $150 each and were mostly financed by fundraising. The guys total cost was approximately $125 each. "We didn't get our shoes until the last performance. So we had to use Jefferson Edition's shoes every time," freshman Kyle Dunlap said.

This concentration caused others to see the success of the orchestra and want to be a part of that success. The orchestra had one of the highest number of participants that it has had in years. By Loni Koopminers & Capri Brown Th is year the music department had something that they could be really proud of. Forthefirsttime in school history, the jazz band took second at Regionals. This earned the jazz band a spot at State competition. This was the first year for Jazz Band to go to Iowa Jazz Championship. There were 21 members that participated in Jazz Band. These members practiced every morning at 7 am. "I'm not a morning person, but I still get up," junior Chad Dennis said. "I'm very proud of all the kids who get up and come to practice every morning against their will," band teacher Dave Clark said. Jazz band was not the only group to make beautiful music. The orchestra played at many places for many people including the governor. Orchestra teacher Brenda Copeland said, "It was really exciting playing for Governor Branstad. I had a good time." The orchestra also played at Harveys Casino during the AllCity Festival. Students enjoyed orchestra for various reasons. Senior Luke Samstead said, "The best part about orchestra is the parties! Orchestra rules!!" Through the long hours of practice and every exciting moment of competition , the jazz band and orchestra proved that they had something to be proud of. Freshman Katrina Boettger plays her violin with the ease and comfort that has come from many years of practice. Many of the orchestra students had played an instrument since elementary days. P HOTCI BY JENNY SHARP Jazz Band & Orchestra A look into the classroom By Michaela Kanger A look into any classroom around school would provide any outsider the chance to see the many different teaching styles and subjects. A wellness class was offered to help students learn more about staying healthy and becoming fit. The Badminton Club was established during the year. Many of its members participated in the Cornhusker State Games. The foods class served cappiccino, hot chocolate, flavored coffee and baked goods before and after school at 'Jacket Java'. Students also had the chance to work on designing web pages for various classes. Some classes made additions to the school's home page. The new career planning program helped students get on track as far as what classes "\\o\alKe ci b ecome prepared for their future careers. Some of the changes made affected only a portion of the students. The administration limited freshmen to closed campus lunch. This was to decrease the number of tardies from students leaving for lunch. This was also the first time that students had the chance to earn academic letters for having a 3.5 GPA or higher. After school activities were also set up to give students something to keep occupied after school. With all the changes made, students had more options and were able to look their best in the classroom.

It took about two weeks to complete each episode of T J Today. For the most part the students did all the work, but sponsor John Gibson had the final say on all of their ideas and productions. "TJ Today really doesn't cost anything outside of tapes ," senior Josh Fouts said. Fouts was the editing co-director. "T J Today is not for everyone ," Fouts said. "It is for people who enjoy being goofy and fun ." The show made some changes from the previous year. "I liked the fact that they tried to get more students involved than before. It should have been on more often though ," senior Jamie Barth said. This class gave students interested in a career in broadcasting a start in their future plans for life. Editing co-director senior Regi Beutler said, "Doing TJ Today was hard work, but working for T J Today makes you feel like part of a real news crew.

Bannick's award lass Welding gives students hands on experience By B ecky Navarrette Don't forget those safety goggles when walking into ro-om 111. According to juniors Luke Bose and Jared Podraza, "The best part about going to their welding class is getting to wear the 'chick magnets' (a.k.a safety goggles)." Welding class was very dirty and students could get burns on clothes which was a disadvantage to the class. There were two different classes , beginning and advanced. The difference between the two were that the advance did more projects throughout the year. Advanced welding made projects for various teachers. Some of those projects included: tables , chairs, desks and hooks. There were no girls in the advanced class. Podraza and Bose think that was because the girls didn't want to mess up their hair or get dirty. The most minor or major accident was that people smashed their fingers working on a project and the torch hose caught on fire. Sophomore Gary Hensley said, "I can't wait until I get to go to advanced welding." Junior Joe Hothersall works on a project during his welding class.

"We're trying to prevent the younger students from possible negative experi ences ," Assistant Principal John Neal said , "Closing campus prevents students' contact with older kids in unsupervised locations."

Some of these faces belonged to those teachers starting their career at a new school. Many teachers enjoyed working with students because it took them back to their high school days. "It's great playing volleyball all day with the students ," physical education teacher Greg Hansen said. "Mr. Hansen has come in and done the best job he could to make the students the best that they could be," senior Luke Samstead said. There was also an addition to the counseling staff as well. Margaret Jaeckel was the new career coordinator. S h e helped many students to decide where to go to college and also helped with financial aid.

Friendships prove imporlant By Mindi Richardson When the word friendship is mentioned, it may have many different definitions. High school friendships may last throughout students' lives , yet some diminish soon after graduation . Some fri endships are long, yet some are short and sweet. Seniors Jamie Coan and Daniell Birchard have been friends for nine years. They have had their ups and downs, yet they are still going and still best friends. "Daniell and I hav.e been friends since fourth grade," Coan said, "It's a nice feeling to know I have someone that I can trust." Trust was the major factor in friendships. Wh en most students consider someone to be their ,so-called "friend", then trust was a huge part. Being able to trust someone makes it easier to communicate and listen to them. "Trust is the only thing that holds a friendship together," senior Krissy Mandolfo said. Friends also make tragic events a little easier and can help deal with the tragedy. "When my best friend broke his leg, I helped him get around and tried to make things a little easier," senior Brandy Valyer said. Seniors Matt DeWolf, Mark Showers, Jose Vargas , Chris Moore and Justin Kammrad are a part of a group informally named t he 'Playstation Junkies. ' "Besides being playstation buddies, my friends are very important to me," Kammrad said. "The more you hang out with a person, the more you can trust them." Whether it's going to the mall with the girls or just playing playstation with the boys, friend ships were a major part of students' lives . 11..2 Friendships Thomas E.

Counselor Nancy Hale said, " I th ink it's great that the students are looking towards their fu tures. It shows some organization skills." For the many who chose college , there were many decisions to make; from two to fou r year colleges, to expenses and majors, before making the final pick. Senior Jason Rasmussen said," My decision wasn't that hard . I decided on Iowa State. College , to me , will be a fun experience as it also prepares me for the real world ." For the ones who chose jobs, decisions were also an important factor, from deciding on th e perfect job to the hours. Some have based th eir final decision on it being their future caree r. Senior Krissy Mandolfo said , " I really don't know what I'm going to do, I think for now I'll just work and save money." For the few who decided to give their time to PT's and training , deciding to go or not was the major decisions. Senior Holly Womochil said, "I think going to th e Army is going to be an experience of a lifetime and it will keep me in shape." Senior Autumn Rockwell said , "While getting ready for college , I'm also planning to get married in the fall." Rockwell , planned to major in Radiology. Decision making was an important factor when seniors started deciding future plans. Any choice that was made could influence what happened one , five or even ten years down the road.

Seniors Survive Stress By Lori Mc Vey For many students, being a senior can start off enjoyable but towards the end can end up very stressful. From scholarship applications, money for caps, gowns, announcements and senior pictures, to that dreadful term paper evf?ry senior must write to graduate , stress was in the air. "There's so many scholarships and they all say the same thing. They're all 20 pages long and you have to fill them all out separately," senior Brandi Blum said, "You either have to be dirt poor, really smart or really involved in school to even be looked at in most of the scholarships." To add to all the stress seniors were all ready faced with, the administration decided to throw a term paper at the students. Seniors could be found working endless hours reading , typing and doing research upon research to finish the most important paper they have ever written in their high school career. Another subject seniors found hard to talk about was how much money they had to come up with to pay for everything . Many students spent hund reds and hundreds of dollars on senior pictures, announcements, and cap and gown rentals. Seniors also found themselves running to the mail box hoping to get the letter of acceptance to the college of the ir dreams. "Even though you might not get accepted to the college of your dreams, you can't give up. It might be stressful at first but it's even more stressful to know that you have just given up," senior Catie Roeman said. 116 Senior Stress Audrey J. Grieder B r ooke C. H allberg Jackie L .

Most senior portraits were taken during th e year, as compared to the previous summer. On the average , the total picture package was $465-500. "I spent $889 on pictures ," senior Sara Williams said . Although seniors had the same expenses for graduation , the amount varied from student to student. The cap , gowns and other various items for graduation cost around $200. Senior Brad Blakeman's expenses were around $1500 , while Sen ior Holly Womochil's costs were around $1400. Along with pictures and graduation, seniors had graduation parties; such as an openhouse , which were very expensive. Some students spent $100- $200 on their parties. The average number of announcements students ordered was around 50. The seniors who bought class rin gs spent about $200. In order for seniors to remember the year, yearbooks were also available , which cost $3040. Some seniors bought optional items including a memory book, souveni r tassels , senior shi rts, key rings and photo albums . The prices ranged from $5-30. A new item was the mascot tassel tag, which was $10. If one wanted an easier way of deciding what to buy, the company had three easy packages to choose from. The prices ranged from $90-150. The more items the student wanted , the more the student paid . "The costs are way too expensive, I'm sure my mom will be glad when I am gone," Womochil said.

Reflecting on missed • memories By Katie Dun lap When seniors leave, it is usually a time for celebration and looking into the future . No matter how bright the future may be, some students will always miss a small part of the school. Many students decided they will miss the familiar faces around the school. "I'll miss all the great teachers and good times with my friends," senior Matt DeWolf said. Some students will miss other things. "I will miss having my car towed , the car with the Jackets license plate. I will also miss having my car keyed daily," senior Tony Jordan said . "All through high school, I have always thought that I would miss Tee Jay when I left, but now I can 't wait to go to college and get on with my life. The one thing I will miss though is newspaper. I have gained friends, experience and good memorie s from working on The Signal ," senior Michaela Kanger said . Those who have been involved in athletics will also miss th eir days on the court, track or field . "I'll miss walking into the gym before a sporting event and having that adrenaline rush. This was my last year to be able to walk in and see everyone and all the bann ers that represent Tee Jay. I'l l miss not bein g able to play sports. I th ink I'll miss the gym the most," senior Amanda Moore said. No matter what the individual things were , students all agreed on one th ing, that the school will be missed very much. "My times at Tee Jay were some of the best in my life. I will always remember the years that were spent here and will greatly miss them," senior Laura Herrick said . 126 What students will miss Michelle L. Medearis A manda M. Moore Angela L Moore j /.

Vorthmann When people looked back at thei r high school years, they tend to remember the good times. Even though there was all the homework, term papers and filling out of scholarship fo rms, being a senior was great, according to sen ior Nick Blanchard. Some students enjoyed the admiration from the underclassmen. "I would have to say the best thing was being able to leave early and just knowing that you were bei ng looked up to," senior Tommy Aldmeyer said . When some people th ink back, they remembered thei r best and worst teachers. The one who was the craziest and who told th e best jokes. "I didn't have a favorite teacher. I didn't hate all of th em, I just didn't have a favorite," Blanchard said . Senior Lindsay Jasto rff was able to choose a favorite teacher. "Mr. McKinley was my favorite teacher because he was really nice and he taught us really well ." Other things also had thei r significance, not just those in the classroom. These included th ings li ke sports, friends and clubs. "My favorite part of high school , would have to be wrestling! I went to districts two years and went to state my sophomore through senior year. This year was my fi rst year medaling . I got third place for my weig ht group ," recalled Blanchard. For some , the hardest thi ng to do was to say good-bye to the many people that had influenced their lives for many years. "I had a lot of friends that were juniors, so I didn't get to see them as much as I would have if I was still in school," said Aldmeyer.

Membership has its privilege By Lynsi Brooks There were many privileges that seniors had. One of these included not having to go study hall. Senior Jon Schreiber was happy that he didn't have to go to stu dy hall. "Not having to go to study hall was definitely a privilege of being a senior. Seniors had short day instead," Schreiber said . Senior Matt Hendrix agreed , "I love being able to leave for an hour or so, it gives me a chance to go back to my house in case I forgot somethin g." Many seniors liked to leave feeling that they had accompli shed something. One of those accomplishments was trust. Senior Briana Smith said, "I think teachers and administrators gave us more respect and trust because we had set an example for the underclassmen , especially the freshmen ." Senior Tiffany Hancock said, "I definitely fe lt li ke I was trusted more this year than any othe r year." Many teachers agree with Smith. History teacher John McKin ley said , "I most definitely give seniors more trust because nine ti mes out of ten , I have already had them in one of my classes prior to their senior year." Another privilege that seniors had was, open campus lunch. Senior Chris Moore sai d, "I'm glad that we had open campus lunch because I don't like to stay here and eat because the food is really gross and it gets too crowded in the student lounge." While some seniors had more privileges than others, all seniors enjoyed the freedom that they received. 12~ Senior Privileges Marie J. Wajda Andrew L. Ward Dana White Lori M. White Bonnie .J.

They were faced with many difficult decisions that would affect th e rest of their lives. Moving away from home was a major plan of many seniors. Senior Delinda Long said , "After I graduate from college , I plan to move south, maybe Florida." Others wanted to stay close to their roots. "I want to stay here because of my family and friends ,'' senior Holly Redmond said. Many were faced with the decision of whether to further their education or not. Senior Jon Schreiber said, "I might go to coll ege. I want to own my own business, so it could help me." Others decided that college was not the right path fo r them . "I am not going to college. I don't need it fo r the career I would like to do,'' senior Mindy Bunch said. There were a variety of colleges that students chose to atte nd after high school. Senior Sarni Shields said , "I'm going to Iowa Western, because I don't want to move away." Senior Brooke Hallberg said, "I'm going to attend Iowa Lakes Community Coll ege in Estherville." Seniors al so began to think about starting a fami ly. "I plan to start my family after I graduate from college and become a nurse,'' senior Audrey Grieder said . Some seniors choose to enter the Army, Air Force or the Navy. Senior Holly Womochil said, "I want to be in the Army because it will help me when I get into the FBI." The choices that students made were diverse and fit each one as an individual. Future Plans 12'1 Senior Luke Jefferson receives $19,000 from the U.S. Army.

As the assembly came to an end, so did the year. Excitement mixed with sadness drew upon the faces of the seniors as they walked out of the New Fieldhouse.

By Amber Baker & Laura H errick Senior Skip Day is always one of the highlights of the senior year, although it is not well liked by the faculty. "It's inevitable that students will do it though it is not excused. If you are not called in, every class that is missed is counted as a truant. If you are close to failing, skipping is not worth losing graduation privileges," Principal Warren Weber said. Seniors chose to do many things on this day. One of the dominate activities was sleeping. "I chose to sleep in on Senior Skip Day. There wasn't very much to do so I just stayed in bed. It felt so good!" senior Audra Nuzum said. Many others decided to spend some time in the great outdoors and go camping. Seniors Jamie Kennedy , Delinda Long and Michaela Kanger spent the day relaxing at Lake Manawa. "It was so cold and rainy out that we wanted a warm breakfast. We ended putting our cinnamon buns on sticks and warming them up over the fire," Kanger said. There were also some unfortunate seniors who were forced to spend the day at school because of projects, tests or other reasons. "I had to stay at school on Senior Skip Day because I had too many truants in one of my classes and didn't want to flunk. It was not fun," senior Kara Polchow said.

These were the sights that welcomed participants at the senior ski trip. The price of the trip was $20 and an extra $5 for the ski lessons. Senior Chuck Keefer said, "The best part of the trip was the 'ski lessons'." But senior Adam Ashley didn't need the lessons as he had been to Colorado many times. Others just didn't want or need them. Ashley said, " Big ol' Mount Crescent wasn't anything compared to the slopes in Colorado."

Fredrickson and P.E. teacher John Kinsel collided after Fredrickson tried to hook a right. Before he could turn back, Mr. Kinsel ran into him. The extent of the injuries consisted of bruises, blisters and scrapes. Keefer ended up going on his head after he lost one ski. He couldn't keep his balance and went head first into a patch of ice.

P HOTO BY C HAD B OYER Graduation 183 Looking towards a goal By Michaela Kanger All those who participated in athletic events found that it took concentration, determination and hard work to meet their goals. Some achieved all of their goals, some reached a few of them and some worked to meet personal goals. The baseball team worked toward their goals this summer season and had the chance to play in the District games. Volleyball also achieved a great goal when they became District champions. The goals of the cross country team were high as runner Harvey Coble ran toward state, but finished one place short of qualifying to go. However, the cross country teams as a whole did well and had a record number of runners. The Varsity football team came only within looking distance of their goals. The team had hopes of making the playoffs at the beginning of the season and winning the River City conference title, but the game against Ralston stammered their last chances to make the playoffs. The boys' basketball team was able to overcome their downfalls and accomplish their goal. They broke their losing streak that had lasted through 42 games with a win against Roncalli. No matter what sport one participated in , looking towards a goal gave the teams determination to make the season memorable.

Crowd support was important to the athletes on the court, track or field. "When we beat A.L. in volleyball , it was the best feeling . Knowing that we could beat them and having the crowd there was great for us. Not only was it great knowing that we were able to beat our crosstown rival, but because of it , we becam e Dis trict Champs," junior Nikki Moraine said. For some, the determination came from a previous win . "When we were playing Roncalli we all knew that we were capable of playing at the same level as they we re. Then when the crowd got us going, there was no stopping us. That win gave us confidence and helped us go on to beat ou r rival Lewis Central," basketball player junior Justin Radke said . Many of the teams found that they felt better after giving thei r all during a game, wi n or lose. "No matter what sport it is or what team you are playing there is always a battle to the end . You always want the win. In some cases you don't always get the win, but knowing that you are able to play with them at the same level is what keeps you going ," junior Carla Pollard said. Not only did the athletes strive to win the game or meet, but they also wanted to wi n bragging rights. Playing th ei r rival s gave students the motivation to play their best and determination to win.

Because soccer was sanctioned , the girls had the chance to compete in Districts. The tournament forced the players to compete into the hot summer. The scorching temperatures didn't affect sophomore Tina Bonnaci as she shattered a previous record scoring 13 goals in a single season. "I was excited when I broke the record. I thought it was a great accomplishmentfor an underclassman ," Bonnaci said. There were two first year players on the varsity squad. Seniors Amanda Moore and Shaunte! Krisel decided to try thei r hand , or foot , at the game. "My most memorable moment of my first year playing was getting in a fight with a Glenwood girl. Everyone thought it was really funny except for me because I had to sit the rest of that game and the next with my first red card," Moore said. Senior Lari ssa Christensen made first team All City. Graduate Brandie Jacoby and Bonacci made second team All City. Both Christensen and Bonacci made second team All Conference. Th e junior varsity team had problems with a sho rtage of players. Many varsity players had to come down and help. "By the end of the season everyone was communicating better and became closer friends," Bonacci said.

During the last game of Districts, senior Matt Hendrix said, "The first two games went really well , I think. When it came down to the third game it felt like our full tank of gas that we had had throughout the first two games was empty." To make Districts, the team gave its all throughout the season. "I can still remember during one of the j.v. games, there was a fly ball that went into the left field. Bernie Kinsella went to catch it and didn't realize how close he was to the metal advertisement boards. He ended up running right into it. He fell in the same position as he did when he hit the wall.

The softball season was one of the best in years. The girls beat A .L. at the first round of Districts and went to Regionals for the first time in at least 4 years. "We started off a little shaky, but we had many exciting wins and a few disappointing losses ," sen io r Amanda Moore said. Injuries are a part of any spo rt and softball had their share too. "Alex LeGuillou got smacked in the eye with the ball. It was gross. Her eye was black and blue and swollen," senior Marie Wajda said. The softball season included many improvements. "We needed to concentrate more at practice and on the mental part of the game. Ou r batting improved throughout the season and physical errors were cut down ," Coach Marla Peterson said . The practice was usually different than the actual game because you didn't have the coach telling you how to act during th e play but the team worked on that. Freshman Jamie Perkins said , "Other improvements that we re made throughout the su mmer was know ing what to do w hen we get the ball in certain situations." Coach Peterson had a few good memories herse lf. Beating A.L. in Districts was one of her favorites, she also enjoyed teaching the gi rls how to sl ide and practicing with a hole in left field . There were no se rious injuries . "Tina Bonnacci always had bad scrapes from sliding, but that was about as bad as it got," Moore said. Moore's perform ance was good enough to earn her special recognition by making all-tournament team fo r the AL classic. "I was very honored. I've always strived to compete hard during tournaments. I also had a very good pitcher who gave me my 'lucky' homerun ," Moore said. Softball c~ ~ s s c ttll"y (D 1l1illil t?.rvLrrcl viwWl!~rrcr .. ~thJr w~+~ p--r~clr By Jill Wallace It was a heartbreaking end to a memorable season for the Cross Country team. The girls' and boys' team started out with a full varsity and junior varsity team, but by the end of the season the j.v. team was dwindling and beginning to falter. There were various problems that kept some runners from competing. These sometimes caused a j.v. runner to run a varsity meet. Sophomore Mike Driver knew the experience all too well. "Running Varisity was a whole different race. On j.v. I could run a faster time and a better place on the exact same course," said Driver. There were runners who didn't get a chance to show their potential. Richard LaChappell was one of those. "I had to miss about five meets because of strained abs," La Chappel said. He placed in the top 25, four times. Senior Larissa Christensen was only able to run in two meets before having hip problems. She said, "I feel I did pretty good. This was the first year I decided to do cross country instead of volleyball, but I am really glad I did it." After all of his effort and hard work, senior Harvey Coble did not make it to state. The top seven runners were chosen at Districts with Coble placing eighth. "That was a downside. I've seen him grow from a follower freshman to a positive senior leader," Coach Dou g Muehlig said . Despite the fact that the re was a lack of participants due to injuries, the team showed incredible effort and strove to be better than ever. P HOTO BY MICHA EL~ J<.

The boys' basketball season ended with two key victories. "The feeling after beating Roncalli and L.C. is indescribable. You can 't put it into words , except that you want more," junior Wade Schumann said . The Jackets were tested many times during the season , both mentally and physically. "We started to gel more as a team. We knew each others strengths and weakn esses. In the end it helped us perform better on the court," senior Jose Vargas said . "We im p ro v ed tr e m e ndou s ly through the season, especially after winter break," Head Coach Colin Smith said, "I felt that the team got refocused and showed they could be a contende r." Maybe the most intriguing improvement was the teams' free throw percentage , going from around 50 percent to an astonishing 80 percent. With all th e improvements, th e team came up with it's first win in two years , by beating RCC rival Omaha Roncalli 68-65 . "After that game, I thought the team finally started to cl ick and we were playing all four quarters to our potential ," senior Dennis Owens said. After a few key losses, the Jackets pulled off their second win of the season, against cross town rival Lewis Central. The team was lead by Radke's career high 35 points.

"The beginning of the season was bumpy, but after our first win against Boystown the season changed dramatically," sophomore Tina Bonacci said. With only one senior in the starting line up, the underclassmen stepped up and met the challenge. "I thought the season went well even though we lacked experience that some of the other teams had," senior Larissa Christensen said . The season was full of memories. "My favorite memory was when we were playing the number 1O team in the nation (South Sioux City) and we were only down by four at the end of the first quarter," junior Carla Pollard said. A memory the girls will take with them is a trip to Sioux City where they watched the NAIA college girls basketball tournament. "The tournament was a good experience for us. Watching the more experienced competition made us realize what we need to do to be successful ," junior Nikki Moraine said. "By the end of the season we were working more for the team goal, which was to play together, than for our own personal goals," junior Tiffany Pogge said. The girls had a dissappointing end of the season, losing to cross-town rival, Abraham Lincoln, in the first round of Districts. The final score was 40-58. "The loss to A. L. was heart breaking.

The run ners were expected to do well at the Drake Relays, but unfortunately inj uries played a role in low scores and slow times. The Drake Relays left all of the track runners full of memories. These were both good and bad. "Drake was full of unexpected events. We had key runners injured and we dropped the baton . It turned out to be a meet that I will never forget , but for the wrong reasons," juni o r Jonathan Taylor said . As defending champions of th e C.B.

It's kind of like claiming our territory ," junior Justin Radke said. The infamou s Kinsel Relays were also held. For the seniors, the Kinsel Relays were what they will take with them as a memorable moment of high school. Some of these moments may prove to be more embarrassing than others. "In one of the events, Justi n Kammrad tripped over a dummy and Adam Neville nailed him with a water balloon ," sen ior Chris Moore said. Although the thinclads didn't have much luck with achieving thei r goals of doing well at Drake, many did qualify for state and those who completed walked away with ninth place in the 4A class.

These included Head Coach Pat Nepple and Assistant Coaches Brooks Schild and Lori Williams. Along with the new additions there were new goals for the team . One of the goals included scoring more points at the track meets. Despite the bad weather throughout the season the girls hung on. Sophomore Megan Bevirt said, "I think we would have had more personal bests and scored more points if the weather would have been good. We had maybe five meets where we had good weather." The team shined through the C.B. Relays scoring 58 points, the most since 1992. "I was very pleased with the effort from the kids. It's a lot more fun when it's the biggest meet of the season. There were a lot of personal bests at the meet," Nepple said. The 4x1 00 tear.n , which consisted of juniors Tiffany Pogge, Lindsay O'Dell , Carla Pollard and Nikki Morai ne, took a trip to the Drake Preliminaries in Ankeny to see if they could qualify for the Drake Relays.

Five of the nine regular season games were within one point. The Jackets struggled at times on the offense, but, "Later in the season our offense balanced with our solid defense,'' senior defensive man Greg Schnackenberg said. Throughout the year, junior forward Richard La Chappell and junior midfield Jared Podraza made tremendous strides to improve the offensive attack. Offense wasn't the only improvement during the season. Many players had to step up their defensive game to help fill in the gaps on the field. According to several players, there was one player who took on a lot of responsibility and gave every game all that he had. "Our goalie, Jon Ryba, really helped us out a lot. He gave it his all in every game up to the last seconds. Ryba kept us going when we were down," LaChappell said. Many players also walked away with a handful of memories. Whether it was a win or loss, memories were important to the team. "Going to the River Cities Conference Finals and beating Gross 1-0, after Gross beat us 7-1 in the regular season is something I'll always remember. Those games gave us a lot of confidence in each other and ourselves," Ryba said. In the end, the team tried their hardest and accomplished more than had been accomplised in a long time.

These were the conditions for most of the season for the boys' golf team. The golfers planned to have a season full of practices and filled with matches on the beautiful greens, but these plans were changed. The boys instead found themselves inside the gym and having matches canceled. This not only affected the playing time, but also kept the younger players from gaining needed experience. There were many times that the boys were forced to play in the rain. Many of the golfers were disappointed with the way the weather took hold of their matches. Junior Nate Foley agreed, "The weather had a big effect on our games. It seemed like every tournament we had, there was bad weather." For the many new golfers, this was a very discouraging way to start out their athletic career. Junior Clint Kephart's golf season was especially difficult. "It was my first year golfing and I had to play in the rain, so it was a little harder for me." Senior Kyle Behrens felt having the rainy conditions put a damper on the whole season. "Golf is fun, but when it rains you get all wet from the knees down. If it hadn't rained so much, golf would have been a lot more fun ." Even though the days were rainy and the team wasn't able to practice or play as much as desired, the duffers did their best, even if they had to wear a raincoat to do it.

This came about as there were no seniors to take on the leadership role . With no seniors to lead the team , the juniors were forced to step up and take control. This provided an opportunity for even more teamwork. Junior Laura Baldwin was one of these key leaders. ''There were a lot of inexperienced golfers, but everyone slowly got better. We just needed a lot of teamwork," Baldwin said. As the season went on , teamwork improved with every girl and proved to be very beneficial. Junior Jody Churchill said, "Everyone enjoyed spending time with each other and working as a team. We have all grown closer this season." The first part of the season , the weather turned rainy. Since the only practice that the girls could do was outside , there wasn 't much practice time for them. "I think the girls could have done better. All we needed was a little more practice , but the girls did their best," Coach Wayne Mains said. Junior Leilah Hennings said, "Golf is like a new pair of underwear. Atfirst it's constrictive, but then it just becomes a part of you ." With teamwork, a lot could be accomplished as long as everybody did their part. After the slow start and lack of experience , the golf team did improve and started to really understand what teamwork was all about.

Students enjoyed many activities during the weekend. Some of these scheduled events included hiking, crafts and fishing. The students also had the chance to make water bottle rockets. Associate Jan Smith said , "Th e weather was bad Friday but it all cleared up in the end." Jimmy Larsen said , "I 'll always remember playing football with my friends and fishing fo r the first time ." Mike Allen really enjoyed the camp and especially the activities . "I liked making beach towels, fi shing and hiking ," Allen said . Mrs. Smith enjoyed the camp even more than the students that attended . "This year's group was the best group we've had go to camp. The students really had fun and the camp food was excellent. " Mrs . Smith also remembered the not so calm times. Fri day night someone dressed up as the legendary 'Bigfoot' and ran through the camp terrorizing the stud ents and even frightening some of the chaperones. Jimmy Larsen said, "I got scared of the monster." At one point, the monster climbed up on one of the roofs and started yell ing to frighten the students even more. Through all of the activities, storms and adventu res , the campout turned out great and the students had the time of thei r lives. "The kids al l had a great time," Mrs. Smith said . , PHOTO l:IY M· A" Associate Sandy Griffis helps Brandon Weese and Eric Mc Kern as they work on their rockets.

Autographs Looking back over the year By Michaela Kanger As the year came to an end and the halls of the school were once again left empty, students reflected on the changes that the year had brought. Three teachers decided to bid farewell. Science teacher Wanda Synhorst, Spanish teacher Sam Martinez and print shop teacher Dave White retired. Physical Education teacher Lavonne Pierson organized a 'Fun Run' in April. There were over 300 participants according to Ms. Pierson. "It was nice to watch all of our neat kids go out there and run and have fun. Then afterward they all sat on the track, talked and listened to music. We have a lot of neat students here," Ms. Pierson said. Mayor Tom Hanafan even took time to come to the event and fire the starting gun. "The Mayor was really impressed with the students," Ms. Pierson said, "We have such a good school, yet we don't get much good recognition." The school stepped up security the last month of school after the shooting in Littleton, CO. The incident in Littleton called attention to schools across the nation. Students had to take off coats when entering the building and visitors had to sign in at the attendance office and wear a visitor's pass. As the seniors left, they began to look toward the future. They also couldn't help reflecting on the past. Whatever their plans were, graduation brought them together to take one last look over the year together. Closing Division I Senior James Mawhiney and Assistant track coach Robert Jenkins try to maintain their balance in the sack race during the Kinsel Relays. Students start off for the first ever Fun Run. The run was two miles long. Over 300 students participated and were given the choice of running and/ or walking.

Closing Division One last Mok ... The end of our four years is here at last. It seems like it wasn't that long ago that I was walking into Mr. Hansen's home room that first day my fresh.man year. This book has been more trouble than it's worth , but we went through that trouble just for you! Sure, it has mistakes, but don't criticize too much, we did go through heck for this book. Thanks to Josh the yearbook survived. He came in and helped me redo everything in January after a major mishap. I learned one thing from this; always make back up disks. Thankfully Goodman didn't kill me this year. She has always been there. Whether she was yelling or praising, she kept me on my toes so that I got everything done. We know that if I would have kept things simple and read directions that we could have avoided a lot of this mess. Thanks for putting up with me. Matt tolerated me working on yearbook stuff during newspaper hour. Although he complained he usually let me work. He even helped edit stuff. We've had to live through late nights at school and computer crashes. Barth and I went to camp and ended up on the magazine staff. Getting back to the dorm at three in the morning and then getting up at six must have done us some good . Barth turned out to be a pretty good staffer. Mindi came in and wrote that graduation story the day after commencement. She even helped me alphabetize the mug photos when no one else would. She is one of a kind. Thanks to Ricky, Abby, Natalie, and everyone else who went the extra mile to get the book done. You guys were great. I would also like to thank those of you who are taking the time to read this. Well , it's been a memorable year. I wish the class of '99 noth ing but success. I won't say good-bye , just see you later. - Messy Mickey I _(refs / I Closing Co-Editors: Michaela Konger & Laura Herrick Student Life Editors: Janelle Walters & Lynsi Brooks Organization Editors: Amy Doty & Daniell Birchard Fine Arts Editor: Ricky Prosolow People/Academics Editor: Lori McVey Senior Section Editor: Mindi Richardson & Kami Hammond Sports Editors: Hope Redmond & Lynsie Nelson Photography Director: Jennifer Sharp Ad Women: Jamie Barth & Jamie Kennedy Index: Katie Dunlap & Jill Wallace Current Events: Natalie Biede Adviser: Deb Goodman Reporters & Photographers: JodiAchenbaugh,Rachael Andrews, Amber Baker, Chad Boyer, Capri Brown, Niki Brown, Crystal Dirks, Eric Erskins, Stephanie Ferris, Nicole Fichter, Sara Foster, Andrea Hall, Michelle Jones, Loni Koopmeiners, Sasha Miller, Becky Navarrete, Kim Orand, Olivia Perez, David Reynolds, Trisha Richardson, Autumn Roc kwell, Stephanie Simpson, Abby Veydt & Jamie Zarek. Well, it's finally here. The last photo has been printed and the last deadline has been sent. It's hard to believe that everything we have worked for in the last four years is finally over. There are many people that I want to thank. First of all, the editors. Janelle, Lynsi, Amy, Daniell, Ricky, Lori, Mindi, Kami, Hope, Lynsie, Jennifer, Jamie, Jamie, Katie, Jill and Natalie. You guys have done more than I can ever thank you for. I do realize all the time that you spent working and all of the things that you gave up for the book. It has not gone unnoticed. Second, thanks to Goodman. We've known each other for four years. You've taught me so much and I can not think of any way to thank you enough. Oh yeah, I'm still sorry about the rubber cement. Also, thanks to all of the reporters and photographers. It has been an honor to work with you and get to know each of you . Thanks for all of the running to get quotes, stats and everything else. You're the best. Don't worry Idiot #1 , I didn't forget you . Thanks for everything. Without you there would be no book. It's finally time to reclaim our souls from Goodman. It's been an interesting year. Between the computer crashes, late nights and stress headaches we accomplished more than ever before ... we finished our book. I would also like to thank each and every one of you who bought the book and is reading this. Without you, there would be no reason to do this book. We did our best to produce something that you would enjoy and could be proud of. This was definitely a year to remember, thanks to everyone who was involved with the book. If I have forgotten anyone, I apologize and thank you. You also were a vital part to this world of insanity. Good luck to the class of '99. I will not say good-bye since I cry through everyone of those. I'll just say adios for now. - Laura Herrick Highlights: Porn pon and cheerleaders have members chosen to receive All-American and All-Star honors. After school activities are offered.

All Tied To The Tiines By Brandie Jacoby Photos By Michaela Kanger When we look back through the times and see all the changes that have occurred through the years inany of us tend to look ahead and wonder what the future holds and what new changes will occur. It seems like "the way things were" and "the way things are going to be" will be a drastic change, but really, what has changed? During our high school years we've worried about our grades, our friends, getting our drivers licensesandespeciallywhatwewere going to do on the weekend. "Back in the day" as our parents would say, teenagers were worried about the same things as we are today. They were concentrating on school, talking on the phone to friends, getting their drivers li- censes and of course always looking for a good time. Many of the details hav e changed. Teenagers have decisions to make about drugs, sex and relationships that may not have been of the same seriousness as in the past, but still relate directly to the same kind of decisions that teenagers of the past had to m ake. The music has changed and so have the fashions. While our p arents are griping about the effects of us listening to No Doubt, TuPac and Marilyn Manson, in the back of their minds are mem ories of their parents griping about Buddy Holly, James Brown and Elvis. Leisure suits, hip -h u ggers and clogs can be found in many of our parents closets, as w e rampage the mall looking for miniskirts, baggy jeans and sweater vests. It's all coming clear now, many of the things of the past are in essence the same as the present. As many teenagers listening to new sounds are turning to the oldies station. Who could m iss the retro fashion wave? Thrift stores are as popular as the mall and bell bottoms are seen ju st as frequently as in the 60's. Although in the past the details were a little different, not much has changed. So what can we say about the fu ture? Is it going to bring the drastic changes that we imagine, or is everything going to stay "Tied to the times? " MMM,MMM GOOD!

"I was really happy at how well the squad did taking third at Metro, but I wish I could have been part of it," junior Tiffany Hancock sa id . Hancock was out most of the season with an injury. The pommers bought new costumes. The costumes were black leotards, black pants, a silver sequence top and black shoes. These were used during competitions and during some halftime performances. "An advantage for our appearance in competitions was having the cos tumes," sophomore Lyndsey Neill said. Midway through the year the squad saw a change of sponsors . Attendance clerk Ann Clinton and teacher Wendy Koontz took over as new sponsors.

Freshman Erica Walling The cheer squad started out with36 girls, due to other commitments and conflicts, 28 remained. That left only four on the varsitysquad. Not only did the numbers decrease, but they also saw a season of ups and downs. The cheerleaders started their season at UCA Cheer Camp in Okoboji June 15-18. All the squads did very well. The freshman, J.V. and Varsity squads received second place champs, all blue ribbons and spirit sticks. Sophomore Carla Pollard said, "It was really hot practicing in the camp's gym, but learning the dances and cheers was fun." During camp, the girls got up early to fill their days with jumps, chants, cheers, dances and building stunts. Sophomore Jennifer McKeeman said, "It was hard being separated from your friends at home, but you got to make new ones at camp and got closer to your squad." When the school year began, the girls had to be a t school at 6:10 a.m. to prepare forthenewyear. This included learning cheers for each sport, preparing for pep assemblies and competitions as well. Freshman Candace Cox said, "It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to ge t up that ea rly in the morning for practice, go to school all da y and then go to the games after school." With th e squad having the opportunity to build , th e chance for accidents increased. This was seen during a pep assembly w hen sophomore Lynsi Brooks was dropped while being lifted. This was the first fall the squad had in two years. Brooks said, "I was really surprised that it just scraped my elbows and didn't leave a scar. I trust m y squad and I really don't have a fear of falling." \ / I enjoyed meeting new people and new friends . Sophomore Tami Hod en What was the best thing about cheerleading? WORKING TOGETHER.

Sophomore Tammie Miller The Spanish Club held monthly activities for the second year of its existence. Many students chose to join this organization to improve on their Spanish language, learn about Spanish culture and make new friends. "I joined Spanish club because it sounded fun, interesting and I needed an after school activity," sophomore Kendall Crane said. Taking Spanish as a foreign language was not a prerequisite for participation in the club.

One of the first activities of the year was the traditional breaking of the pinata. "It was funny when Justin Hendrix fell flat on his rear after he tried to hit the pinata but missed," sophomore Susan Richards said. Other activities included bowling, bingo, pictionary, trying Spanish food and having a Spanish style birthday party. "The best part of the party was that they put toys inside the cake," sophomore Tammie Miller said. Spanish club officers included president Brodahl, vice president, senior Mark Smith, treasurer, sophomore Ben Mawhiney, and secretary, Crane. Spanish teacher Janet Beckstead was the Spanish Club sponsor for the second year. "The kids were great and they made the meetings fun. I wish that we could have had more meetings and had more students attend," Mrs. Beckstead said. "The seniors were fun. They picked on the freshmen, not to be mean, but to be funny," Crane said.

"It gave me a chance to get out there and put all my brains to use. It gave me a chance to do things I w ouldn' t do otherwise," said Raim. Society of Engineers weren't the only students racking their brains. The chess club was challenging their skills as they had a school wide tournament throughout the second semester. Students signed up for the tournament through History teacher Colin Smith and competed during homeroom. Mr. Smith started the chess tournament because he said it gave students another activ- ity that was challenging, not to mention, fun and competitive. "During the tournament I learned many new techniques that I added to my already extensive line of strategies," said junior Jose Vargas. Vargas began playing chess in third grade, when he was taught by a friend. According to Vargas, playing chess stimulates the brain and makes him think in a way that nothing else does. Many students took advantage of the opportunity to take part in the chess tournament. The tournament gave students an equal opportunity to show their brain power. LISTEN UP.

Students were able to sing as a group and individually, to show off their talents. With close to 200 students participating in Freshman Choir, Mixed Chorus and Concert Choir the groups were some of the largest ever. "Yes, the groups are large and that does create some conflict, but with this many singers the pluses outnumber the minuses," junior Kara Polchow said. It w as not only the number of students involved that made the sound pleasing to the ear, it was also the technique. "He's (choir director Jerry Gray) done a lot more with sight reading and tuning and it has benefited us greatly," sophomore Chaylie McCloud said. The choirs not only stayed in the room, but also tended to show off a little for whoever would listen. During the year Mixed Choir had four concerts, Freshman Choir had four and Concert Choir had two. Concert Ch oir also p articipated in the annual All-city choir w ith the choirs from Abraham Lincoln, Lewis Central High, Saint Albert's, Wood row Wilson and Kirn. "The choir w orked very hard and w as very dedicated to learning the music. The result couldn't h ave been better," Mr. Gray said. Even though the groups w ere most often seen together, there were times that they performed as individuals. Sophomore Branden Hunt was given the opportunity to go to Minneapolis to sing in a large group choir w ith select voices from all accross the nation. "It was a lot of fun an d I got to meet a lot of cool people. I w as glad to have been given the opportunity,"Hunt said.

Band members found themselves starting with Marching Band and filling their free time with Pep Band and Concert Band. Many hours went into practicing and performing for all of the events. At the River City Roundup Parade the Monticello Regiment earned third place. In the Loess Hills Fieldfest they won first place out of Lewis Central and Abraham Lincoln and got an award for the Best Horn Line. At State they received a division one rating. Junior Rachel Kritenbrink said, "Marching Band is the best part of band because you don't have to sit in one place all hour and we get to go to competitions and win awards." Because of the band's winning tradition they were accepted to go to Florida in June to perform in Orlando. "I was excited to go. It was a real privilege. I always wanted to go to Disney World, too. It was cool to meet Mickey Mouse," junior Autumn Rockwell said. Kritenbrink said, "The only bad thing w as riding 30 hours on a bus." "Concert band is exciting. Some of the music can get boring, but some of it was so exciting that I got chills," Rockwell said. Most band members enjoyed playing Pep band for the basketball games and pep assemblies. Freshman Zach Korner said, "It was fun playing Black Sabbath and Deep Purple at the basketball games." Another thing band students were not used to was having a Band Council.

Sophomore Nick LeGuillou said, " If it was for anything else I wouldn't want to wake up ." Other people on the other hand don't recall the things they did in Jazz Band be ca use they weren't awake yet. Band Director Dave Clark said , "One of the students brought Pixy Stix one morning an d everybod y woke up finally and got hyper." Awake or not, the Jazz Band went to the A.L. Jazz Band Festival and got a number two division rating. Clark said, "Th e Southwest Iowa Competition was a big one for u s, it w ould qualify us to go to the Iowa Jazz Championships. The students didn't need much improvement. They had a very high playing level. The things they needed to improv e on w ere just little picky things ." The orchestra had an important year, one of the m ajor events was the state solo ensemble contest. The orchestra went as a chamber and then also had seven students go as individuals . "We were all really excited for the competition, it w as an excellent year for us all," sophomore Stephanie Gray said. With hard work and a lot of prep aration the orchestra preformed a Christmas concert w ith the b and and the choir. "We loved being able to play with them and would sure love to do it again," Orchestra Director Brenda Copeland said. The orchestra students w ent on two tours. During the beginning of the year the orchestra traveled on a Christmas tour to a nursing home and then to the Mall of the Bluffs. They also did their annual elementary tour, traveling to the different locations of elementary schools, showing off the instruments and performing for the children. "The group this year w as very strong with rhythm. We stuck together and there w as a w onderful sound," Ms. Copeland said. ORCHESTRA. Front Row : Je1mifer Paulsen, Ricky Thom pson, Deb ra Damewood.

Seniors Laura Fuhs, Josh Flaharty and Brandie Jacoby view the making of the yearbook at the Jostens Publishing plant in Topeka, Kan sas . Me1no•·ies By Jessica Rinehart Photos by Michaela Kanger Looking back on high school, where would one be if they had no yearbook or old school newspaper to freshen those memories? That is exactly where the journalism department came into play. This department specialized in the memory making projects of the school, and consisted of two counterparts: Monticello(yearbook) staff and Signal(newspaper) staff. The yearbook staff was made up of 45 students, divided into two classes. Editor, senior Brandie Jacoby said, "In yearbook, being editor, I have to keep track of everyone. It gets hard to tell people what to do without doing it for them. " Many times before deadlines, staffers were stuck with numerous stories assigned to them. Senior Stephani Maron said, "What do they think I am, a miracle worker?!" During the summer, many students went to yearbook camp. Senior Laura Fuhs, Ad Woman, said, "I went to camp with Jacoby and we took pop out of the cafeteria everyday, and on the last day when a janitor told us we couldn't, Jacoby said,'Fine!' and poured her pop all over the counter!" Although yearbook isn't considered an organization, it is still a job that takes teamwork to get done. Juniors Daniell Birchard and Kami Hammond said, "It makes us feel like we're part of something." Senior Kylene Kermoade said, "Yearbook is stressful, but it's a team effort. We do this for our school, and we'll be remembered for that." The newspaper staff consisted of 28 students, who produced a paper each month. Junior Michaela Kanger was a photographer for yearbook and newspaper. She said, "You have to have a photographer at every event. It's a one chance thing. You either get the shot or you don't." Senior Josh Flaharty was the editor for the newspaper and graphics designer for b oth. He said, "I am doing now what I plan to do with the rest of m y life, which is design computer graphics." All journalism staffers worked late nights and long days to make the memories of high school possible by just the turning of a page. Journalism adviser Deb Goodman said, "It's the students that make m e come back every year." : ICNA L STAFF.

These ranged from helping to support different athletics to feeding hungry students lunch and even breakfast. DECA helped to keep students' stomachs full and even helped some to celebrate a friend's birthday with a balloon at the Beehive. Students had the opportunity to send balloon bouquets to friends on their birthday to their homeroom. The Beehive also donated 10 percent of the profits earned in one day to different sports. "Our sales were up this year and w e just wanted to help out organizations that needed money," sponsor Gary Bannick said. DECA also introduced a new idea of selling Cash Cards. They cost students $5 and allowed them to receive d iscounts at many local businesses. These orange and w hite cards w ith a photo of Buzz entitled students to discounts such as free fries at Burger King or $1 off movie admission at the Omni Theatres. "I love my Cash Card. I saved a lot of money when I went out to lunch with my friends," sophomore Tammie Miller said. The cards expired in one year. Competition was also a big part of the list of activities that DECA participated in. DECA made trips to places such as Des Moines and Ames, where they competed in a Delegate Assembly. "We take a lot of trips to competition," senior Chad Gnader said. "Going to Ames w as a lot of fun. We all had a good time. We were very close to having candida tes win, it w as very exciting," senior Jamie Schreiber said . DECA not only kept track of present participants, they also remembered those from p revious years.

By Carrie Baxter & Michaela Kanger Photos by Jeremy Maschmeier What could be better than getting out of school and still getting credit for it. That's what students in Wayne Maines and Julie O'Doherty's T & I and Business Prep classes enjoyed doing. It gave them great work experience plus school credit. Senior Paul Davidson liked being in T & I. "If I ever had to apply for a job I'd know exactly what to do. It's h elped me a lot," Davidson said. Senior Michelle King got stuck in the class because she had no other choice. "I took this class because m y counselor told me I had to to get enough credits," King said. Senior Justin Thiles wanted to be in T & I for the credits. "It offers a lot of credits that I need to graduate," Thiles said. During the fall, students involved in Mrs. O'Doherty's business prep class took a trip to Des Moines to participate in the Business Professionals of America State Officer Conference. Senior Nikki Brown ran for state office of Secretary I Treasurer. "I ran for the heck of it, b ut I really wanted to win. It was fun," Brown said. Senior Carrie Baxter ran for state reporter. "I wanted to run because it sounded interesting. The whole election and campaign rally was really fun," Baxter said. The conference included giving speeches, caucu ses, a campaign rally and a dance. "The speeches were the tou ghest thing for me. There were over 300 people there and my voice was really shaky," Baxter said . "The caucuses were easy. They asked questions like who I w anted to have dinner with. Of course I said Elvis Presley," Brown said. Mrs. O'Doherty found that the conference was a good experience for her students and w as beneficial. "It w as a very rewarding experience. The competition was very tough, but the campaign rally and caucuses w ere enjoyed. I w as very proud of our two candidates,"Mrs. O'Doh erty said. WORKIN' 9 TO 5!

That was the motto for those who participated in the Conflict Mediation program. To be a conflict mediator students had to fill out an application explaining why they were qualified. "After we picked students, we had two days of training, specifically dealing with conflict mediation. The first day was for learning and the second day for practicing the technique. They learned about active listening and 'I' messages," said Counselor Deb Cook. Students also learned about ground rules, confidentiality, the four stage process and telling friends that the conflict was settled were all part of the process. "It has changed my attitude, to remind me to watch m y temper," said senior Lisa Schlotfeld who worked with a mediator. Most conflicts start by lack of communication and "he said, she said rumors." "Conflict Mediation was a great way for a change. If a student has been through this process it may very well help any other conflicts in their life," said Vice Principal Judy O'Brien. "I think the whole initiative is great. It's an alternative to getting suspended. More people are willing to do it because it is student to student. The adults aren't there to get into your business. The program has been pretty successful. Thank god for people who argue," said junior mediator Cherokee Tuttle. Communication was the key for Conflict Mediation and also for Tee Jay Today. Tee Jay Today was a video production by students that came on the T.V. before Channel 1 during homeroom. It was used to inform students about upcoming events and things in the community. A new $7,000 editor was added to the equipment available for the students to use. The editor allowed students to produce videos in the classroom. As a result of the new equipment the videos became more professional looking. "I did a lot of new music, graphics and dressed up Buzz for Halloween week. We also dealt with new stories and had special edition reports," said senior Alex LeGuillou. CONFLI CT MEDlA TION. Front Row: Deb Cook,Trud y Steven s, Al Vande11berg, LuA nn Ruff, Judy O 'Brien .

Students help dig a trench for the water line from the irrigation sys tem that keeps the pond filled with water. Ci1~c1e By Janelle Walters Photos by Michaela Kanger The Nature Area came upon its fourth year of existence and every class had the opportunity to be involved in its development. "Every class has ownership of the Nature Area," said science teacher Brooks Schild. Sophomore Chaylie McCloud said, "It made everyone work together. Not just one person could keep it up, we all had to pitch in. " The Nature Area was constructed because the school's surroundings are buildings and concrete. "The nearest contact with nature is a mile or two away. City people h ave very little chance to have contact with nature, and the Nature Area provides it," said science teacher Don Knudsen . There were many benefits of the Nature Area. Freshman Gary Hensley said," The Nature Area gives kids something to study outside. It's pretty cool because I've seen quite a few animals, like a lot of birds and bugs. So that gives us a chance to learn about animals while learning about plants. " The first winter storm in late October did n ot cause much damage to the Nature Area. Mr. Schild said, "All that w as lost were some branches off the cottonw ood trees and a top of a maplewood. I think everything in the N ature Area came out okay. Everything in the Nature Area is young and they just bent over due to the ice." The sprinkler system was damaged because it hadn't been winterized. Some lines and a valve broke. One major addition was the p ond. Th e p ond was 52,000 gallons and six to eight foot deep . There was also a six foot fence around the pond so everyone could be safe. Students kept involved w ith the Nature Area doing maintenance work. They had the opportunity to prun e trees, put mulch around plants and on the path, replan t the native grassland prairie and put up birdhouses and feeders . "When it was being built I just thought that it is was neat. I've always liked that stuff, but it didn't hit me until this summer when I came to help clean it u p that the seniors were the first to beginit and it feels really awesome! We left our mark here.

The only thing standing in their way (besides waiting to turn 16) was taking Driver's Education. The number of students wanting to take Driver's Education was very high. The classes were divided into three groups, car, simulator and study hall. Car had up to 12 groups, each containing two or three students. Simulator had A, B and C groups. Study hall was necessary because there weren't enough cars or places in simulator available. The teachers were Tom Stull, Harv VanNordstrand and Michael Forbes. Many students thought they were ready to hit the streets with no instruction. "Simulator was easy, but with the directions the guy gave, I got confused and turned the wrong w ay," sophomore Olivia Perez said. "Simulator was a lot different than driving a real car, but it was easy to get used to," sophomore Tiffany Pogge said. However, some students felt differently about the class. "Simulator was dumb, it was nothing like a real car," soph omore Janet Schuster said. Sophomore Chad Boyer said, "Simulator was a waste of time because it w as very outd ated ." Most of the sh1dents seemed in agreement. "I think the car and class was easy if you paid attention. It w as the simulator that was different," sophomore Bryan Smith said.

One example was history teacher Todd Barnett' s student teacher, Jeff Dybvik, who created a Vietnam War Memorial from a 1,200 page list of fallen soldiers from the internet. The memorial filled both w alls by the activity w indow and a third wall by the main office. Mr. Dybvik said, "I got the idea w hen I saw something similar in north central Iowa. They had a whole list on the outside of a building." Volunteers to hang up the papers appeared to be endless. "Kids in every class I tau ght helped. Some kids w ho had study halls helped then too, "Mr. Dybvik said. "It is like being slapped in the face, realizing how many died," Mr. Dybvik said. That w as apparently the feeling of m any students and teachers, w ho stopped and looked for names of people they w ere related to or that they knew p ersonally. Mr. Dybvik said he was pleased w h en h e saw the interest people took in the project. "Peop le were curious. They w ere stopping and asking, What is this? It was good to see." Other projects included a power p oint presentation by Am y Jardon, w ho w as student teaching w ith English teacher Linda Gardner.

Many students vacationed at theme or national parks. But one student chose to go beyond the limits of the United States. Senior Regan Wilson traveled to Paris, France to participate in the World Youth Days hosted by Pope John Paul II. "It was crazy, people were getting rushed, pushed and stepped on," Wilson said, "Aside from those problems, the trip was pretty fun." If vacationing wasn't exciting enough, there was always the sport ofracing. Senior T.J. Nath said," I like helping out in the pits, you learn a lot while giving yourself a future in racing." The most dedicated of racers spent their whole weekend working at different race tracks. Concerts were a fun way to burn off some time and energy. TheWestfair amphitheater was the site for the No Doubt concert. The hit alternative group came from Anaheim, CA. to entertain on June 8. Junior Michaela Powell said, "The concert was fun because No Doubt tried to get the crowd involved. The only bad part was when I got pinned in the mosh pit!" For the nights when there was nothing to do, students flocked to the local movie theaters. By far, Men in Black was the most popular summer movie among students. "The end was pretty cool when Will Smith fights the alien," junior Brandy Valyer said. Other popular summer movies were Face Off, Anaconda and Batman and Robin. Some students worked to stay in shape during the summer months. Hoop it Up, a three on three tournament, helped keep peoples' basketball skills sharp. Other students worked to keep the income rolling in. Sophomore Lindsay O'Dell got a job at Fox Run Golf Course polishing golf clubs. "I really had fun. I enjoyed meeting all the different people."

Fred Graham is dragging a kicking and screaming Lilli Vanessi around the stage. In the fall play, "Kiss Me Kate", that was the norm. Seniors Sarah Porter (Lilli V anessi) and Mike Garreans (Frederick Graham) held the two leads. Other parts consisted of senior Nicole Moore (Ginny), senior Jamie Story (Bianca) and junior Jeff Smay (Bill Calhoun). This play not only created many fun times, it also created many memories. "The best memory was seeing Mike and Sarah together. It was so cute!" sophomore Christina Griffis said. Garreans also enjoyed it thoroughly. "My favorite quote from the play was 'Kiss me Kate"', said Garreans. Porter, on the other hand, enjoyed harrassing Garreans more than conversing with him. Her favorite line was "Comb thy mouth with a three legged stool!". There were some mishaps with the play. One of these was having all of the cast members keeping track of their clothes. For instance, during the Sunday performance, sophomore Branden McAtee appeared on stage without his tights and without his shoes. Sophomore Darrell Adams recalls during the Friday performance, "When the Haberdasher's pants fell down he was so nervous that he couldn't even pull them up. I had to hold them up for him. I've never laughed so hard in my life!" Due to the cost of producing a musical, one is only able to be done every two years. This year the set was ordered from Las Vegas, N ev ada at a cost of $500. Director John Gibson and music director Jerry Gray were also involved in quite a few m emories. "My best memory was when Mr. Gibson cried at the end of a rehearsal because we did so well," said junior Beckie Gardner. Adams added, "I love Mr. Gibson and Mr. Gray and I'm very glad that we got to combine both of th eir know ledge to make another great show come out of Thomas Jefferson." 54 • Student Life WHO WILL BE THE ONE?

Fall Play • 55 By Stephani Maron Photos by Chad Boyer Creepy and spooky may be great words to describe a typical Halloween. "This year was especially spooky, because everything was dark and mysterious," said junior Josey Fredrickson. A sudden winter storm occurred the week before, and left trees down, electricity out and entire towns in ruins. This led to a very creepy Halloween night. Carter Lake Mayor Wanda Rosenbaugh urged parents to keep their children inside after 5:30 p.m. due to the storm. The dark night, lack of street lights and electricity was considered too dangerous for the trick-or-treaters. Students obeyed the mayors rules--to a point. Some stayed home with friends to enjoy movies and sn acks, while others found costume parties. Sophomore Becca Moore said, "I spent Halloween at my bo yfriend' s house . We watched movies and handed out candy. We didn't have to do too much though, because we only had four groups of kids." Junior Bonnie West said, "On our way to Grandmother's house, my friend and I drove around Big Lake, just as we were almost out, a black cat darted in front of our car. My friend had to stop really quickly to avoid the black cat who just sat in front of the bumper and stared blankly at us." Some students were faced with the dilemma of the last football game or Halloween festivities. Freshman Sasha Miller said, "I chose to go to the game and give up trick-or-treating. I wanted to show my school spirit because I figured not many people would show up because of Halloween, the cold wet weather and the game's location (Sioux City)." The Student Council sponsored a bonfire and hayrack ride at Shady Lanes on Nov. 1 to celebrate the holiday. Unfortunately it was cancelled due to b ad weather. Senior Ben Schroeder said, "I showed up at the ranch anyway because they failed to call me. I waited for 30 minutes for everyone to show up . I was really up set w hen no one did, and m y mom was too becau se she needed the car." 56 • Student Life DRESSED FOR SUCCESS.

Halloween • 57 p M H a v 0 s c By Luke Samstead Photos by David Reynolds & Ben Schroeder Silvery shimmering snowflakes, iridescent packages and the glow of the candlelight all provided "Icicle Dreams" for the Snoball dance. Not every dream is a positive one. One incident occurred, when planning for the dance the flowers were double ordered. "The first place that we ordered from was the wrong place because the name had changed," senior Student Council President Dawn Thelen said. The group then ordered flowers from another florist. "We saved about $100 with the place that we ordered from the second time," Thelen said. The first order was not cancelled until the last moment and almost created a massive amount of flowers. Decorating proved to be costly for the group. "We spent a lot of money, because the type of colors we had were very costly," Thelen said. The colors were iridescent and blue. Attendance for the dance w as up and more people w ere on the dance floor than in previous years, sponsor Paul Hans said. "I was really impressed at how well behaved the students w ere and how all of them enjoyed themselves," Mr. Hans said. The attire for the event has become semiformal. "I think that as the years go by the dance has been getting more formal. It is a Christmas dance so I guess that is why," Mr. Hans said. The dance w as held in the N ew Fieldhouse from 7-10 p.m. on Dec. 20 and the cost was $5 a person or $8 a couple. Seniors N ikki Brown and Josh Ream were crowned the royalty for the evening. The evening did not end w ith the conclusion of the dance. Many students went from icicles to ice skating or a private showing of a movie. "I convinced my w ork to run 'Scream II' for a bunch of us at m id night," sophomore Heather Berry said. 58 • Student Life SNOBALL COURT.

Students spent most of December decorating the hallway and were rewarded on the 18th. Hot cider, crackers, cheese, cookies and fruits were served as seniors took a stroll down the London street and saw what they had accomplished. All of the senior English classes participated in decorating the hallway to give it the full effect. After studying Charles Dickens and reading "A Christmas Carol" in class, students finished researching topics on their own. Groups were assigned to different sections of the hallway and were graded on their creativeness. Senior Jeremy Smith said, "Having our own section allowed us to take ownership in our work." "We got our picture in the Nonpareil because our section was the best," senior Jim McGlade said. The hallway was tied to the production of "A Christmas Carol." Elementary schools toured the hallway on their way to the play. "Decorating the hallway gave the elementary students a chance to see how far back in time the play took place," senior Heather Peterson said. During the feast senior choir members along with choir director Jerry Gray sang Christmas carols. Throughout the Dickens' hallway wishes for Happy Holidays could be heard. Even with all of the holiday joy, the "Bah-humbug" of Ebeneezer Scrooge could be heard above them all. For the first time, "A Christmas Carol" was performed for the Christmas play. With only three weeks of work, a cast of 36 and a large stage and lighting crew, the play was put together. "It was fun working with the sounds because you got to experiment with the special effects," sophomore Nick Le Guillou said. The cast along with drama teacher John Gibson went to a lot of work on the script. They looked at three different versions of the play before choosing the one they did. "It took about five years of planning, but this year w e've finally done it," Mr. Gibson said . 60 • Stu d ent Life IT'S FINALLY FINISHED!

"Shane Anderson gave me and six other girls carnations because we are all friends. I guess he wanted our day to be special and make us smile," said junior Amy Doty. Some students got creative with the Valentine's they gave out. Sophomore Emily Gregory made a necklace out of a guitar pick for her boyfriend, freshmen Zach Korner, who is a guitar player in the pep band. Some students received gifts they would classify as horrible or even unbearable. Senior Stephani Maron recalled a gift she was given. "One year my friend, that was a guy, gave me a board game because he said it had sentimental values because the first time we met we were playing that paticular game." That Friday before Valentine's Day, which happened to be "Friday the 13th", many students received deliveries ranging from flowers, balloons, stuffed animals and one student received a flower with a ring inside of it. For the first time the National Honor Society sold Valentine Grams. They consisted of a message from the person and were tied to candy. They cost $1 and NHS raised around $76. "I'm glad we are finally contributing to the school and participating in more activities," senior Brandie Jacoby said. DECA sold balloon bouquets for $7 and w ith a stuffed bee for $13. Many students were disappointed that there was no Sweetheart Dance. Senior Class President Jessica Rinehart said, "I was very frustrated that all of our efforts turned into a waste of time!" Rinehart and others put time into the dance, they booked a D.J., photographer and made arrangements for decorations, but later found out that their plans were to be terminated. "A lot of people were upset that there wasn't a d ance, so they tried to blame the officers but it w asn't our fault,"s~nior class secertary Laura Fuhs said . 62 • Student Life NO TIME LEFT FOR YOU.

Waitaminute. What happened to Monday and Tuesday? Due to that lovely, fun white stuff that falls in the winter, school was canceled on Monday and Tuesday. If school had not been canceled, Monday would have been hat day and Tuesday would have been tie-dye day. "I didn't care that we didn't have hat day or tie-dye day because I didn't have anything to wear anyway," sophomore Erin Standfill said. "I was upset that we didn't reschedule the activities for the week. I always look forward to hat day, because I can get away with wearing my hat during school. I really missed it this year," junior Rob Leonard said. The special week was for T.W.I.R.P. (The woman is required to pay). The highlight of the annual T.W.I.R.P. week was the dance. It was held on March 14 at 7:30-10:30 p.m. in the New Fieldhouse. The theme was Aloha Hawaii. The dance was sponsored by the cheerleaders. They decorated the New Fieldhouse the day of the dance. The T.W.I.R.P. court was voted for on March 9 in homeroom. Each class picked four girls and four boys to represent them at the dance. This was the first year that girls were on court. The girls were added to the court because the Sweetheart dance was canceled. The cheerleaders made the decision. "It seemed funny to have females on the TWIRP court, since it traditionally has been males. Since they didn't have a Valentine's Dance I see w hy they did it," senior Josh Flaharty said. Winners were announced at the dance. Royalty included freshmen Shaun Hollenbach and Erica Walling; sophomores Jon Taylor and Nicki Kuhl; juniors Adam Ashley and Sara Williams; seniors Derek Gruber and Dawn Thelen. People did a variety of things after the dance. "I w ent with my date and friends to Family Fun Center," sophomore Anita Owen said.

The creators worked little by little a month in advance, but then started to crack down tw o weeks ahead of the show. Altogether the set rounded out to costing $2,000.

Read all about it, Tee Jay's Prom was held at Harveys Casino! From the front page to the nightly news, Prom was the leading story due to the feelings of some concerned parents. Many believed that having a prom at a casino was sending the wrong message to students. Even though the media hyped it up, there wasn't much of a story because the students were well behaved according to Vern Welch, Harveys Manager. The prom made many unforgettable memories. The colors were blue and silver and the theme was "My Heart Will Go On." A new accent was the heart shaped ice sculpture that was made by Harveys. "This was the first year to have a dessert bar and servers in tuxedos to remove our plates," Prom sponsor Deb Goodman said. The royalty were seniors Chad Gnader as King, Janie Wolfe as Queen and juniors Jonas Bose as Prince, and Larissa Christensen as Princess. "While we were at the Old Market after dinner in our limousine, we' saw a guy with three orange spikes on his head. We yelled at him then he started chasing us around the Old Market. Then he picked his nose and wiped it on our window. Our limo driver got mad and got out and yelled at the guy," junior Matt De Wolf said. Post Prom was held atThunderbowl, from 124 a.m. The highlight of Post Prom for many was the hypnotist. Many students volunteered to get hypnotized. One of students who was hypnotized was senior Ryan Wood. All I remember w as laying on the floor and holding Jessica Rineh art, I didn't know if I was making out with her or not," Wood said. The centerpieces at Prom were a popular item. Many students took them home as memorabilia. The plates were also a popular item.

The Alma Mater was sung at the end of the ceremony by seniors Mike Garreans, Keith Hensley, N ichole Moore and Porter. The seniors were honored for all their acad emic achievements.

The program which was located at school moved to a house on Mill Street, which was owned and used by Children's Square at night. The program was for those with special needs, who wanted to have jobs and take care of a home. From September, students and staff were busy renovating the house. "The kids did the painting," transition specialist Joyce Schaeffer said. "Over the summer the kids worked outside doing various jobs such as painting the outside of the house and planting flowers and grass." There were 13 students and five staff members staying at the house. Two of the students earned money working at McDonalds and the Garden Cafe. Other work sites included Target, Godfathers and the Council Bluffs Chamber of Commerce. Tasks included attatching security tags to compact discs and video tapes at Target, janitorial w ork at Godfathers and filing papers at th e Chamber of Commerce. Statistics showed that 90 percent of all students, such as those in the Adult Transition Program, were put in a paid job after they graduated from high school. Statistics also showed that the 95 percent of students who were w ithout a job was due to a lack of proper training, transportation and support. The stu d ents also spent time on hobbies and in recreational activities like bowling or going to the mall. The Council Bluffs YMCA donated a year mem bership to the students and staff of the program. The teachers in this program were constantly working to better the community and system support connections, including the Job Training Partnership Act, which en sured a smooth transition for students w hen they exited the program at age 21.

Special Education • 73 s c PA 0 e . a I 1 c th letest m p e e By Jamie Barth Photos by Dave Reynolds Many athletes dream of going to the Olympics, even special education students. On April 17 these dreams came true, as 15 students competed in the Special Olympics held at C.B. Stadium. While everyone received a participation medal, all participants had dreams of getting the gold. "Most of our students placed first through sixth. The medals and ribbons were nice, but I think the students' ultimate reward was the praise that came from the spectators. A hand shake, a high five, or a hug made the students feel better than a medal on the wall ever could," special education associate Jan Smith said. Out of the 15 participants, eight qualified for state with first place wins. The Des Moines Special Olympic Committee paid for everything except transportation. Students had to finance their own transportation. Each participant was asked to donate $20 to help cover transportation costs. The Iowa State Olympics were held May 2122. "Although I have never been to state, the students enjoyed going. They made everything really nice for the athletes. On the first night there was a carnival and they had entertainment," Mrs. Smith said. Senior Tony Kramer said, "We stayed in dorms when we went to the Olympics, all we did was sit there and talk, it was all right." The eight students w ho were eligible to go included: freshmen Jacob Sorenson, Jim Bob Anderson, Brian Bird, Crystal Brannan, juniors Adam Winger, Crystal Dutson and Brandon Weese and senior Tony Kramer. "This was my second time going, it was a lot of fun last year. We played games and did crafts, I made sand bottles, lava lamps and bracelets," Kramer said.

Due to the power outage many people had to stay at other people's houses. Social Studies teacher John McKinley had his wife's parents and his parents over. He said, "I was so happy when they left because they were worried about everything and my mom has alzheimer' s so every ten minutes she kept saying 'oh it snowed'." With no T.V. or lights, people resorted to burning candles while they tried to do homework or read books. Junior Rachel Kritenbrink said, "There was nothing to do besides read or sleep". Some people had to eat out every meal. Restaurants were swamped because of the lack of electricity and because many places in Omaha were closed. Junior Morris Eckes, Wendy's employee said, "We made more m oney in four hours that night than we made all day."

It was filled with vocal talent whether it was their own, or singing along to a favorite song. Acts that showed off vocal skills ranged from lip synching Spice Girls, a solo performance of the hit song from "Titanic," by senior Sarah Porter and even a performance by the elite choir group Jefferson Jazz. Two groups also decided to kick up their heels. The dance troupe walked around in bright bags that resembled pillow cases "It was really hot inside the bag," junior Melissa McClain said. Adding to the festivities were two different clogging groups. On Friday there was an adult group and on Saturday a childrens' group performed much to the delight of all who were there. "They looked really nervous, but they looked really cute as well," sophomore Tammie Miller said. The show also featured instrumental talent such as the Jazz Band, a jazz group called Razzle Jazzle, and a drum solo performed by sophomore Nick LeGuillou. There were also many acts to make one laugh. "Our act 'Cardiovascular System' was full of laughs," junior Jamie Aldredge said. Freshman Josh Griffis and freshman Corey Gray performed a confusing but very comical act entitled, "Who's on First?" "It was extremely confusing," Gray said. Some laughs were not planned. As Jefferson Jazz prepared to sing, their pianist, choir teacher Jerry Gray, took a fall when his chair came out from under him. "Even though the setup of the Jefferson Jazz was planned, the falling off wasn't!" Mr. Gray said. Adding to the humor was a slip of the tongue by one of the fifth hour drama students during their performance of "GreenEggsandHam." "lwasmadathim. The audience laughed the rest of our skit because of what he said," sophomore Amanda Kerns said. 78 • Student Life WELCOME TO THE SHOW.

The Old Market was a popular place for teens to spend their weekends. "The Old Market, Border's and Downtown Grounds are all pretty popular for teens," senior Shannon Burgstrum said. Junior Holly Redmond agreed, "I know a lot of people who go to the Old Market on weekends. I usually go to the Old Market or the movies." Others liked a more active atmosphere," Guitars and Cadillacs is popular. I go dancing there," sophomore Dasiti Summers said. Freshman Tony Dorsett said, "On Sunday at Guitars they have teen night." "On Friday nights they have a Christian bowling night at Broadway Bowl, it's not very popular with Tee Jay students, but it is a lot of fun," junior Marie Wajda said. Sophomore Todd Rieper goes bowling, but not with a church. "I like to go to Cosmic Bowling at Thunderbowl. It costs about $10 for unlimited bowling." Money was a factor in deciding where students spent their weekends. "I don't know how much I spend, however much my girlfriend wants me to. We usually just stay at home and that saves a lot of money," junior Rodney Johnson said. "I spend about $30, but if I have a girlfriend I spend more," junior Travis O'Dell said. "I usually go to parties with my friends, that doesn't take much money, but it is still fun," sophomore Dawn Powers said. Burgstrum spends money depending on what kind of weekend she has, "If I have a big weekend I spend however much I have depending on where I go. More than likely you will find me at a coffee house." Some students spent their weekends making money instead of spending it. "I work most of the weekend, but if I don't have to work I go to the Old Market," O'Dell said. No matter what the cost, it -s eemed that students were able to find fun on the weekends. 80 • Student Life GETTING TOGETHER. There were many school activitie that k rt students busy over weekends.

The ski trip was held on Feb. 5 at Mt.Cresent ski area.The trip included 72 of the seniors and the cost was $20. For many of the beginners the cost was $25, due to the $5 charge for ski lessons. Physical education teacher Lavonne Pierson said, "This was the first year out of many previous years that we had only this amount of kids, usually it's like double the amount that went." Senior Kane Kuhn said, "I think that the ski trip was well planned and fun." Not only were there skiers, but also snowboarders. Senior Aaron Ring said, "I like snowboarding better than skiing. It's hard for me to be the best at it though, because I always have to teach everyone else." As for bumps and bruises, there were many of those due to the ice. The bad weather the week before left the slopes with not as much cushioning to break one's fall. One of the worst injuries was w hen senior Tony Renshaw fell and had to go to the hospital. Renshaw said, "I don't know how it happened, all I know is that I was skiing really fast and fell, then I was in an ambulance on m y way to the hospital." Senior Lance Kramer wouldn't know about that because Kramer said, "I heard that it hurts w hen you fall, but I w ouldn't know because I'm a p rofessional." Ms. Pierson said, "The ski trip w as very fun, but it was h ard for the beginners to learn, due to the ice. " Physical education teacher Sharon Semler said, "All together it went great, it m ade m e realize how m any great kids we have in the senior class." "Laura Fuhs and I didn't realize we left our lessons early . So we found Mr.Kinsel to help u s learn how to ski. When he sent us into the trees we realized he was no h elp, so we had to get lessons from Ms. Pierson," senior Enjoli Barksdale said.

Many students had a curfew, but the stipulations of each family's decision on what time the teen had to be home varied. The matter of trust w as one thing that made parents think tw ice about their child' s curfew. Freshman Sara Morris said, "I don't have a curfew because my morn can trust me." "I am a senior and I still have a 12 o'clock curfew because m y dad doesn't trust me one bit. He knows me well," senior Ryan Wood said. Some students felt that it wasn't a matter of p arent / teen trust. Senior Jessica Rinehart said, "When a p arent asks their kid to come home early, it isn't necessarily that they don't trust them . There are a lot of dangerous people out NIGHT LIGHTS. Students drove down Broadway to meet curfe\o\::; that were set for them. Many students were often pushing the speed limit to make it home before the time that their parents had set f r them. RUSHING HOME. Sophomore Kristen Jackson rushes in the door t avoid the penalty of missing her curfew. Students had differ nt curfews for different places they were going and some had curfew" that varied with their age. there, and they just want their teen to be safe." Many students didn't have a set time they had to be h ome, but their parents still had a hold on them. Sophomore Derek Button said, "It doesn't really m atter w hat time I come home, just as long as my morn knows w here I am, but I think kids under 17 should have a curfew." Sophom ore N ina Pikschus said, "My curfew is 1 a.rn. I have to let my morn know where I am and with w hom." Som e p arents gave their child a curfew becau se of w ho they hung out with. "My morn made m e com e hom e early every time she knew I was going to be w ith my boyfriend, Chris, because she thou ght h e was a b ad influence on m e," junior Amand a Moore said. Some parents gave cu rfews d ep ending on students ages . Senior Linda Points said, "When I was 17 my curfew was 12:30 a. m. and now it's 1:00 a.rn. and I' m 18. I think that parents give curfews to their kids to show th at th ey care." Curfews proved to be one way tha t parents showed their concern for th eir teen s and kept them safe . Even if it was a b urd en for the students, most realized the curfew was for the best. -----84 • Student Life NO CRUISING! The no cruising law helps to prevent teens from staying out past curfew.

Subs titute teacher Dale Driver laughs with the class while filling in for an ill teacher. substitutes 1a e By Hope Redmond Photos by Chad Boyer Paula Rosenthal, Dale Driver and Marchele Dorsett are all familiar faces around the school. These were the substitute teachers that seemed to have been at school most. Being a sub has many different pluses and minuses. According to Mrs. Rosenthal, the best points of being a sub are the "variety of subjects and if you don't want to work at a place you don't have to, or if you just don't want to work that day, you don't have to. " Mr. Driver said the worst days he has is when the teachers have poor lesson plans or no lesson plans at all. "Those type of days don't come along a lot. All days are good, some are just better than others," he said. Joe Schick said, "The worst days he has are those days when students are restless and don't listen to instructions to the assignment the first time, because they were too busy talking. When students are in that type of attitude it makes problems for the teacher and the students who are trying to pay attention and do their work." There are some d ays when the teacher is gone and the substitute is there and they are not able to help students with the questions they h ave for that day's work. Sophomores Travis Parrack and Nate Foley said, "Mr. Driver is our favorite sub. He explains things thoroughly if you don' t understand the work." Mr. Schick said, "The most humiliating thing I have ever done is during Parent Teacher Conferences. A mother and student came in and I didn't recognize the student's face . I looked a t the mother's last name and immediately knew the student. So, I went on with the conference talking to the student about her grades and how she was doing. When the conference was over the student said, Tm not your student, I go to Wilson."'

Students served detentions while they ate lunch in the auto shop room. Assistant Principal John Neal, w h o is in ch arge of attendance, said , "Detentions are to make students miserable." Taking away students' open campus privileges made them pretty m iserable. Junior Rachelle Booher comm ented that she'd rather have detentions after school so she and her friends could do things at lunch. "!think that it's totally unsanitary. They shouldn't make us eat in the auto sh op room," junior Autumn Rockwell said . According to M r. N eal the room was inspected by health officials and met all inspections. The only reason the auto shop was chosen was because it was the only available room. "I like lunch detentions better than staying after sch ool and it doesn't interfere w ith after school activities," junior Janie Aldredge said . M r. Neal said it didn't matter if it was con venie nt for the students, it was w hether the problem got solved or not. The lunch detentions produced a higher percentage of people showing u p for detentions which lead to the conclusion that lunch detentions were working. Anoth er focus for s tu d ents was to ir crease th eir knowledge and u e of t -t nology. This was a ccomplished by tt addition of new computers.

Earning a good grade or getting plenty of sleep? For many the two went hand in hand. Whether the student stayed up late to study or they got a good night's sleep and blew off studying, many found cheating to be the right answer. Cheating was not the only by-product of abnormal sleeping habits. The amount of sleep received affected everything that a student's body could or could not do. There were various reasons that students did not get enough sleep. Those ranged anywhere from getting home late because of work to staying up la te watching T.V. For many, sleep deprivation became a part of life. "I am sleep deprived just like every other teen, but the difference is that I have come to accept the fa ct that it is just a part of life and I need to live with it," junior David Pitt said. After a while, droopy eyes and yawns during history lectures became a habit and were hard to do away with. One common way of getting more sleep was sleeping pills. "I ta ke them so that I can get more sleep," sophomore Stepha nie Gray said. One popular idea for ending sleep deprivation was to have school delayed by two or three hours every day. "The administration should get smart and start school three hours later so we can get more sleep. Then "'t wouldn't be so tired, fall asleep in class, flu out of school and go on to lead truly worthl and degrading lives," junior Audra Nuzu said . Sleep deprivation was not the only practi that was common among students. Cheati11·' was also rampant whether caused by n sl or just pure laziness. For most the lure t 100 ata neighbor's test, borrow a friend 's pa pert "compare" answers or take out a handy che sheet proved to be too tempting. "I sav\' person write the answers on their hand an i was a fifty question test!," sophomore Lau ri Park said. The decision to cheat did not come witl1 )t' conquences. When students were caught ch at ing they were punished in various ways. "I pk up their test and tear it up," special ed- ucatil) teacher Chuck Black said Consequences or n consequences students still felt the n ed. h cheat.

Freshman Josh Nuno reads about the tragic death of Princess Diana. By Reggan Wilson & Laura Fuhs Photos by Michaela Kanger The national news was filled with both heartbreaking and distressing events during the months of August and September that affected the students, as well as the world. Thedeathof Princess Diana was a shock to many. On Au g. 31 the car Diana was in crashed into the wall of the tunnel at Pont del' Almabridge killing Diana, Dodi Fayed, the chauffeur and seriously injuring Diana's bodyguard. It was first thought that paparazzi were pursuing the car, causing the car to lose control in the pursuit. Some of the photographers w ere arrested an d then later released w hen they found tha t th e driver was intoxicated at the time of the accident. The princess was laid to rest at the Althorp Estate on Sept. 7 at the age of 35. The day before the funeral of Diana, the loss of Mother Ter esa was also felt around the world. She died of a h eart attack. The services were held at the St. Thomas Catholic Church in Calcutta. Back in the states tragedy struck w hen an outbreak of E-coli caused 10 deaths and many others to become ill. Many food servicing establishments w ere n ot able to serve beef for a few days. "When I w ent to Burger King' s drive through they said they only had fish or chicken," senior Carrie Baxter said . The cause of the E-coli breakout was never d etermined . Another loss of service to the country occurred w h en U.P .S. employees went on strike. Chaos was abundant across th e nation w ith packages bein g d elayed an d not delivered. Th e workers were not satisfied with their pay and benefits and therefore decided to strike until they received a pay r aise.

Some students resolved to help others throughout year. Senior Pa t Rose helps with the food drive. l -...;_ ,., --~J ' ~ As the new year approached, many students and teachers had an idea of what their resolution was going to be. The question was whether they would follow through with it or not. Social Studies teacher Pat Daugherty said, "My resolution is to not make resolutions." Several students had resolutions concerning school. Some said they would come to school more often and get better grades. Others just wanted to pass a class. Some were also habit-ending resolutions. Junior Jamie Aldredge said, "My resolution is to stop procrastinating." Others said they would stop biting their nails, stay ungrounded and stay out of trouble. Some students had resolutions that were more long term, such as finding the right girl, working out everyday, practicing tennis skills and just being a better person. "My New Year' s Resolution was to stay in shape for track and lose the extra pounds I gained over Christmas break," senior Josh Flaharty said. "It isn't tough to think of a resolution, it's just tough to keep it, "English teacher Jane Howard said. For many students Christmas vacation was just time away from school and time for relaxation. There were students who were never home during break. "I did anything and everything just to get out of my house and keep away from my family during vacation," junior Michaela Kanger said. Sports was one activity that kept many students busy during Christmas vacation. Junior Ryan Redding said," I had swim practice everyday except Christmas and New Year's." "Basketball practice was pretty much all I did," senior Kelly Foster said. New releases at the theaters gave some students something to do. "I lifted weights and went to movies during break," senior Nick Hollinger said. Making money was on the minds of many students as they spent their vacation working. "I worked tons of hours during vacation but I did make some money though, so it was worth it," senior Dawn Thelen said. Christmas vacation gave all a time to do what the plea ed whether working, playing or making resolutions. DANCE-FOR JOY.

Senior foreign exchange student Minako Tome got involved with Tee Jay Today, the school's TV new s show. Scared, excited, happy, confused. These are just some of the emotions one might feel when visiting a different country on vacation. Now imagine having these emotions for an entire year. That is how foreign exchange students seniors Robert Blotevogel of Germany, Laura Cuhna of Brazil and M inako Tome of Japan felt as they walked the halls. The most exciting thing for Blotevogel and Cuhna were the sports. As for Tome it was the clothing freedom . "I tried volleyball for awhile. The day after my first practice I was so sore. I decided I didn't want to do that any more," Cuhna said. "The whole atmosphere is really cool, especially at the football games," Blotevogel said. "Your clothes are so free. You can wear anything you want," Tome said. Even with all the excitement the students missed th eir families. Blotevogel missed his friends the most . Cuhna even left her boyfriend to come to America. "I miss him very much, but we talk on the phone," Cuhna said. "My family is w hat I miss, but I like it here also," Tome said. Veteran students helped the new students get over their homesickness and enjoyed having them in class. "Everyone has been very accepting," Blotevogel said. Cu hna, Tome and Blotevogel agreed that everyone was really nice. For Tome there were differences in American schools and her Japanese school. "In Japan students have to w ear school uniforms and w hite socks. The girls aren' t allowed to wear make-up, earrings or have long fingernails. A lso in P.E. freshmen and sophomores have separate boy and girl classes," Tome said . Even w ith the d ifferences Tome said, "I like it here. " Besides the fun, the m ain goal for the exchange students was to learn more English and to learn how to adjust to new things . Problems were few and far between because of all the helpful p eople. "The only p roblem that I have had is with my locker, but I figured it out," Blotevogel said. The students p lanned on learning as much about America and its culture as they could before they returned to their native countries. SCHOOL DAZE.

Junior Josh Fouts plays a prank on senior Pat ~ose. This prank could h ave b een dangerous but everyone was okay. As humans, it seems that everyone finds humor in the humiliation of another person. Possibly, it's nut just to have a laugh at the other's expense, but m any times that's th e way it seems. Many tim es no harm is m eant by the common prank, but sometimes the pranks cause emotional or physical distress. Physics teacher Terry Todd said, "On our w ay to grandma's house with a bucket of craw dads for fishing, I decid ed to play a cute little trick on my mother w hose arm was dangling out of the window in the front seat. I picked u p a crawdad from the bucket of bait and p laced it on m y mother's arm. She panicked and grabbed hold of m y father who ju st happened to be driving. Apparently that startled him and he swerv ed off the road into a ditch. That one little prank could have caused the d eath of our w hole family." Luckily, for Mr. Todd, they were able to pull the car out of the ditch and nobody was hurt. Emotional fru stration could be the result of another harmless prank. "I told a kid w ho was few years younger than me that there w as going to be a toga party later that night. He was supposed to have been hom e by 4:30 p.rn. that d ay, but he didn' t leave until 10 p .rn. when he realized there was no party. He left for home extremely angry and beat himself before he got home. He told his m orn that he got beaten up on the way home and that was w hy he was late. His morn didn't buy the story, and h e w as grounded for three months," junior Brad Blakeman said. Pranks aren't all about the person who plays them on someone else. Often, the person who the prank is played on remains silent so few people will find out that they were pranked. Senior Nick Brou gham said, "I was at a party, I fell asleep and someone p ut h ot sauce in m y mouth. I ran to get a drink of water, I got so h ot that I stripped off my clothes. Everyone was lau ghing hilariously at m e. Throu ghout the whole incident, I thought I was dreaming ." "Even if one person thinks a prank is really funny, the person who the prank is on usually ends up getting hurt or feeling really stupid," freshmen Jill Wallace and Becky Navarrette said. Pranks can be fun as long as they remain harmless and nobody gets hurt. But for all those pranksters, watch you r back becau se you might get a taste of your own medicine. T .P. TIME .

Students have all heard those w ords repeatedly in their lifetime. Some just can't help but make th ose lon g lectures in class somewhat exciting. Some students don't try to be funny it just com es naturally . For sophomore Jonathon Taylor many students find him to b e one of the biggest class clowns. Taylor said, "I' ve been a class clown since I was in kindergarten. I don' t care if people think I'm annoying or obnoxious, I'm just being m yself!" Junior Lindsay Jastorff said, " A class clown can w ear on y our nerves because they usually end up getting the w hole class in trouble. When someone is honestly funny they know w h en to stop." "The biggest class clow n around is Jessica Bittner. She can get anybody laughing in a second. She' s the funniest person I know, especially when she starts talking about Dave Letterman!" senior Brandie Jacoby said. "The only person that I know that is funnier than I am is Brandie Jacoby. She is a hoot in class. I wish I could be half as funny as her. Boy she sure is funny!" senior Jessica Bittner said. It isn't just students that play the class clown role. There are teachers that have fun while teaching. Many students find Drama teacher John Gibson the biggest class clown around. CIOWNING AROUND. Senior Mark Smith sits in class showing other students his wild personality. Junior Michelle M edearis an d sophom ore Branden Hunt said, "Even if we' re in a bad mood, w e don' t leave Mr. Gibson's room without laughing ." English teacher Dan Koch enjoys having fun in class but knows when to d raw the line. Senior Kane Kuhn and Mr. Koch said, "We' re n a turally funny, but we don' t need to act it. We w ere born to b e corny ." Sophomore Jamie Gladwell said, "Th ere is nothing wrong w ith being funny, you just h ave to know when to stop. Most of m y teachers can b e funny if they really want to, but when the students s tart gettin g out of line the teacher usually stops the clow ning arou n d an d gets the class going on work that needs to be done. So in o ther words, you can have fun in class but learn w h ere to draw the line so that the entire class will not get into trouble." So from b ein g class clown or just plain funny there are many different types of personalities. CLASS CLOWN. Junior Jose Vargas is clowning around with fellow classmates.

By Jeff Diamond Photos By Michaela Kanger INSPIRATION IS THE KEY! Coach Pat D a ugherty gives the team som e advice on how to win on and off the football field. The varsity football program turned the tables during the season, winning five out of nine games for an above .500 win average. The season was full of highlights that players and fans were very proud of. They finished second in the River Cities Conference and defeated Roncalli in the Homecoming game which hadn't been won in 19 years. The team also beat cross town rival A.L. impressively. "We played very well as a team and had a good season, despite barely missing the playoffs," said Head Coach Dan Strutzenberg. Mr. Strutzenberg talked about rebuilding the football program and changing the losing ways since he took over as head coach in 1994. In 1997 he guided the program to new heights. Some of the team's success might have been attributed to two former coaches rejoining the staff. Coach Pat Daugherty and Coach Bob Nielsen returned to give some experience to the coaching staff. "I was very satisfied personally to have the kind of year we did. We had lots of talent to work with this season," Coach Daugherty said. That talent resulted in the best record in the 1990's. The players were very grateful for the coaching staff. Senior Nick Hollinger took the liberty of having every piayer on the team sign a football and dedicate it to the coaching staff. "It was our way of thanking the coaches for every thing they have done for us throughout our years here," Hollinger said. Weightlifting also played a part in the success of the team according to players. Most of the players lifted from the end s S C TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ TJ 0 6 32 24 3 20 34 3 13 of last year through the season. The players lifted before school or after school and some participated in the Ironman program. "Lifting w eights enabled me to compete at a higher level," said junior linebacker Matt DeWolf. The weight room w as also open to players in the summer. "Since most of the linemen I go up against are taller than me, lifting all through the summer enabled me to get more leverage on them and break through the line," said senior defensive tackle Oral White. Team awards were a highlight of a few of the players season's. SeniorTomReikofski won the Butkus Aw ard for the team's best linebacker. O ffensive and defensiv e players of the year were aw arded to junior Justin Kammrad and senior Josh Ream.

A new coaching addition and new wuforms were all plans of the new season. Some of these plans came to be, while others did not. The new addition to the staff came from Rachel Eikenberry who joined Coach Mike Bond in his varsity coaching duties. Sophomore Lindsay O'Dell said, " 'Ike the Spike' was a great addition to the team, she helped me improve my skills and improve as a player." Ms. Eikenberry came with a lot of experience. She was a middle hitter during her collegiate career at the University of Notre Dame. As the new season began the team anxiously awaited their promised new uniforms. As the weeks progressed this however did not occur. The uniforms were ordered but did not arrive until long after the season was over. Coach Mike Bond said, "We ordered the uniforms at the beginning of the year, but the manufacturers didn't make extra large or large uniforms . So to avoid having the whole varsity team in extra-extra large uniforms, we told the manufacturers to hold the order." Senior Annie Hensley was disappointed the team didn't get the new wuforms. Hensley said," I was looking forward to the new uniforms since it was my senior year, of course I was very disappointed." Without new uniforms, but with a new coach the varsity ended its season with a 10-198 record. Hensley was selected for the All-Tournament team in Red Oak. The varsity played well in Districts, winning one game in the first round against Lewis Central, but unfortu- s S C T 0 nately lost the match and w as eliminated. Senior April Slack said, "The beginning of the season w as slow . By our District match w e had improved as a team and showed a lot of unity. It w asn't a matter of winning or losing, it was a matter of playing together as a team." The junior varsity team finished the season with a record of 6-5-7. There were a number of personnel changes betw een the freshmen, J.V., and varsity teams. The teams h ad to learn to interact with new p layers and adjust to the changes. Junior Larissa Christensen said, " This year w as fun. We worked w ell w ith all th e changes we w ent throu gh." By the end of the season the team accomplished their goal of playing as a team and showing unity.

"If you can dream it, it can happen," was a quote heard by the cross country members numerous times throughout the season. Senior Don Zdan said, "CoachMuehligused this quote all the time to get us prepared for the meets." The team consisted of 20 boys and eight girls. "Our goal is to be the best we can be," said Coach Doug Muehlig. The teams proved that, they went the distance. A new face was added to the coaching staff. Math teacher Patrick Nepple volunteered his time to work with the runners. "I liked working with the Cross Country teams," Mr. Nepple said. Along with a new coach, more victories were added this season. The boys' team placed first in the Tri-Center Invite, Cyclone Invite and Missouri Valley Invites. The team also won the Abraham Lincoln Invitational. It was the first time in nine years that they had taken the title and only the second time ever. At the end of the season the team took a trip to Fort Dodge to watch and cheer on teammate junior Harvey Coble as he ran at the state meet. Coble qualified for state the week before at districts which were held in Atlantic. Coble placed 56th at state which was the best ever Sk finish by a boy from the school. Coble w as named to the All-Southwest Iowa team along with senior Jolu1 Jensen. Coble also made the All-Conference team. The girls' team also had a good season. Although they only had two seniors and not much depth, the team had to work extra hard during practice and everyone had to step up and show leadership in s S C order for the team to show improvement from meet to meet. The upperclassmen especially had to take charge and show a lot of leadership to the younger runners. Junior Linda Eng, a three year participant of the cross country team, said," After participating in the sport for so long you learn to respect the other runners. Especially the ones behind you, because they still finish the r ace e v en though they might be last. " Coach Muehlig gradu ated seven seniors.

With a little will and a lot of effort anything is possible," senior Shad Mahanke said. Many memories came out of the three game series. Junior Shane Hoss said, "The thing I remember most during this season, is when we played Lewis Central in the last game of the TJ Classic tournament."

Two new coaches, Nichole Vetter and Brenda Mechels took over the team. Coach Vetter who had previously helped the team finish their last season came back as the head coach. Ms. Mechels filled in as the junior varsity coach. Between JV and Varsity the team consisted of 24 members. That was the most the tennis team had out in many years. Only two varsity letter winners returned. They were seniors Kristina Korte and Jarnie Schreiber. The team had more than enough players, but not a lot of experience. Schreiber and Korte took control of the team early. The two seniors not only led practice with stretching and drills, but they also led the varsity with their outstanding play. Juniors Janie Aldredge, Jamie Aldredge, Arny Doty and Misty Richards also contributed to the teams' success by collecting wins throughout the season. Korte said, "At the start of the season we really didn't know how the team would look. After a few matches and wins we knew we were good." The varsity finished with a 7-4 record. They placed fourth in the River Cities Conference meet and Schreiber placed third individually in the tournament. One highlight of the season was when the team defeated cross town rival AL.

In the past, not many students went out for the sport, but now the sport has grown in popularity and the students are responding to it, it's terrific." Junior Chuck Keefer, who participated in both the fall and spring seasons, said, "It was exciting to see so many of my friends out for golf tin the spring.

G I RLS' G 0 L F weaknesses," Head Coach Wayne Mains said. The spring girls' golfers were eagerly waiting to just get outside to practice. The girls practiced in coach Mains' office for the first two weeks due to the wet and cold weather. After the clouds broke up, the girls team grabbed their bags and ran out to practice . There were a record number of players out during the spring season. There were 32 at the beginning of the season, but the numbers diminished to 21 by the end of the season. Due to the increase in numbers the team added some help. This help came in the form of counselor Karla Hughes and P.E. teacher Lavonne Pierson. These two individuals donated their time to help the girls improve their skills. s I .... S C Junior Marie Wajda was the only returning golfer from the previous season. "I think the spring team made a vast improvement from the beginning of the season to the end. I enjoyed golfing with all of the other girls because they were easy to get along with," Wajda said. Both the fall and spring teams practiced at Cerv' s Driving Range and Westwood golf course. A sophomore duffer said, "I stole about 50 balls from Cerv' s, but don't tell anyone because I think I could get in trouble or something. Can't I?" One of the drawbacks of playing golf was the amount of class time that was missed due to all day tournaments. "We missed so many days of school due to games that I was ready to scream," sophomore Jody Churchill said.

Intelkoffer On Wednesday May 20 ,1998 Jeremiah Intelkoffer, a sophomore, passed away. Jeremiah 's last few moments were spent playing basketball. During the game he suddenly collapsed and died a few minutes later of cardiac an·est. "He was a great person. He always wanted to make people laugh. If you wouldn ' t laugh he would try harder and he wouldn't do anything until you did laugh. He was a good friend and will be missed by many people," sophomore Katie Adams said. Janet Mitchell On Sunday November 30, 1997 a legacy ended as Janet Mitchell passed away. Mrs. Mitchell was a special education teacher at Tee Jay and had been for many years. Mrs. Mitchell had been fighting a battle with cancer. "The thing I remember the most is that she was really nice and she was always in a really good mood. It was good that she was always in a good mood even though she had so many problems. It taught us a lot," junior Amy Doty said. W right, Thayne 19, 125 Yambor, Bethany 28, 139 Yost, Camelle 90 Young, Dave 27, 28, 30, 65, 139 .

By Brandie Jacoby Photos by Michaela Kanger After yet another school year , an entire year of memories is all that is left. There were so many things to remember. The successful sports teams, the new graduation requirements and Prom at Harveys. The new football coaches, Bob Nielsen and Pat Daugherty, just good, old familiar faces from the past returning to the future. There really were some new faces taking over for the old ones. Kirk Madsen taking over the golf team and Jane Hanigan heading up ASTRA. Are the memories going to be different than the year before? Will they be any different than next year? People coming and going, building improv ements and lockers falling apart. Look back to the past, 20 years ago, things don't seem quite so different. The class of '68 was heading out to the real world to find jobs, go to college and start families. The class of '98 seems pretty much the same (yes, college is much more expensive though) . Now look 20 years in the future. Technologically, the world will probably be moreadvanced than one can even imagine. Then again 20 years ago nobody could i1nagine taxes being filed through the internet and even having hopes of making it to Mars. N o matter which memories one decided to take with them, they will always be a part of 1998 at Tho1nas Jefferson. The students have left their ' mark on the school and the school has left it's mark on the students. In so many ways the student body will look back to 1998 and remember how it was and how it might always be ... at least in their minds and maybe forever. SIGNING UP.

Closing • 199 Okay well here it goes, my final hurrah. Let's just say I am so glad it is over. All the hard work, the long hours and possessed computers (yes Josh we're still blaming you for the Middle Eastern names you gave them). I guess this is where I am supposed to thank everybody. My mom always tells meJ am no good at thank yous and Goodman always says I don' t let anybody help me, so here is the best I can do. Goodman, thanks for not killing me for waking up late the last w eek I was supposed to be here, you knew I'd make it, eventually. And I'm sorry for turning your daughter into a vegetarian. We had a huge staff with many people who really did try to get their stuff done on time, you know who you are.

Fuhs, you and me at camp proved to be about the worst week of both of our lives, good thing we w ere together or I don't think either of us w ould have m ade it. It seems as tho gh the only people left are the two that fought the most, complained about each other the most and by any bystanders view w ould think they hated each others guts (I think they might have at one point in time) . Goodman could have killed them, but the top secret Top Ten List made everything OK. Bittner and Josh. Josh and Bittner. I just don' t know w hat to say. Bittner you were alw ays there to listen to me complain and to help me write those horrible division pages. You w ere definitely my m oral support, even through the Mr. Larsen era. I'm sure w e will continue our infamou s top ten lists until w e get on the Late Show. Josh you know we really didn't hate you (I didn't anyway and Bittner liked you mo,re than Mr. Larsen at least). I didn' t know about you for a while, but you stuck it out w ith me at the end when we w ere the lone graduates, not seniors, left in the building. You even tried to hit you know who with me. Thanks all you guys, oh yeah and Mr. Larsen too. I do appreciate all the time and effort everyone put into fhis book, I' m sure all who read will find glimpses of all of us in there. Thank you.

Whether it's a physical impression or just a memory of the event, it will last forever. High school shapes the way you act and even what you will be in the future. No matter how good or bad the event was, it leaves a mark in your life. Some students worry about their grades while others worry about how they will do that night at practice. Either way it shap es who and what you will be in future. From high sch ool friends, to your activities, they all leave a Lasting Impression.

From hanging out with your friends on weekends, to shopping for the dances, to working to save for the future. The memories will last forever. Many of the students stayed busy during their summer vacation by visiting new places, going to camps or working. At the Homecoming Carnival there were 1nany new booths along with live music for the student's entertainment. Prom night was special to many. For some it was a first and for some it was their last high school dance memories. From the summer days to Ptom night lasting impressions were made. c;t11d1•11ts dam t rilll inrr a o:;foa "Oil<' rt tilt \, lit ~ .~ dmH e. fllwto h11 L11joli l'ar/,t.dal t 1t ASTRA vice president junior Laura Fuhs celebrates after finishing their float for the Homecoming parade.

Many of the students brought back the old tradition of bringing valentine cards to give to their friends, just like in elementary. Sophomore Lisa Goldsberry said, "I think it puts more fun into Valentine's Day." If you spent it with your loved one, or your friends it was a special day.

They had a little problem with the candles fitting in the center pieces, so they used chewing gum to make the candles stay.

However, not all of the original campus remains. To celebrate this achievement many activities were planned throughout the year. Most of the events took place during the week of April 7 - 13. It started out Monday with a scavenger hunt that lasted throughout the week. The winner was freshman Jessi Raim. Journalism teacher Deb Goodman's homeroom won the trivia contest between the homerooms. "I was proud of them. They worked together to People look through old yearbooks and Signals at the look up the information and had open house.

Senior Alisha Miller took over a 75 year history book that graduate Brad Harbold started last year. Most of the yearbook staff gathered information on each of the years the school had been open. "It was suppose to be done this year, but we decided to hold it back u n til the 75 graduating class (1 999)," Miller said. The first annual Hall of Fame inductions took place, honoring those who have made a lasting impression. The inductees w ere RF. Panders, Raymond F.

By Laura Fuhs Every four years there is a new found interest in politics-- the presidential elections. Even if students weren't old enough to vote, they still had a chance to voice their opinion of the best candidate. Some students had a chance of a life time, they were able to hear the candidates views in person. Mrs. Hillary Clinton visited Iowa Western Community College on Sept. 19. And Mrs. Elizabeth Dole spoke at Westfair on Sept. 12. ASTRA members volunteered one afternoon of school work to go and support Mrs. Dole. Junior ASTRA member Andrea Mueller said, "Mrs. Dole was an excellent speaker. She was very informative and easy to listen to." All students were allowed to participate in the 1996 Mock Election. Social Studies teachers John McKinley and Pat Daugherty said elections went well. The ballots came back with Bill Clinton winning by 57%, Tom Harkin ahead by 59%, and Greg Ganske taking the lead by 57%.

Seniors who were 18 had another choice besides all of their college decisions. Their votes helped to decide the next President of the United States. But many people decided their votes didn't really make a difference, so they didn't vote. Senior Erin Mowery had this to say in response. "The people who didn' t vote became a large group that could have made a difference." The election year ended with a Bill Clinton win over Senator Bob Dole and Ross Perot by a landslide. - Freshman Justin Radke votes in the Thomas Jefferson "1996" Mock Elections. Photo by Ryan Wood.

Doesn't italwaysseemlike teenagers have a different sense of style and interest of entertainment? As always, entertainment and fashion were big things for teens. From dance clubs, to widelegjeans, towalletchains and to just hanging out with friends. Sophomore Alicia Kauffman sees it m another way. Kauffman said, " Fashion was not that big of a thing to me, I wouldn't call myself a trendy kind of person." To other students fashion was more important "I think fashion is a big thing to me because you don't want to go looking like some freak from a different world," said senior Susan Mc Vey. There also was a little taste from the past, retro. Body piercing, hair coloring, clogs, low cut jeans and orignal clothing were popular. Many students felt that Council Bluffs was not such a happening place to hang out. They often spent their time and money across the r iv er in Omaha . Fresh man Trisha Richardson agreed, " I think it's boring in Council Bluffs, so I go to the Old Market to hang out." Thrift stores, w allet chains, flannel shirts, whatpops in your head w hen you h ere these things? Gr unge? Grunge w as also a style preferred by many .

Photo courtesy of Dan Strutzenberg. Coa 'hes Dan Strutzenberg, Doug Donaldson and Todd Barnett, along w ith graduates Bill Gray and Casey McGrain spent two weeks of their summer in Australia. Mr. Strutzenberg was nominated by a Cedar Rapids high school football coach to help introduce football to Australians. July 12 they left on a plane to Los Angeles. From L.A. they flew for 14 and a half hours to reach Australia. "We lost a whole day on the plane trip. We got on the plane one day and when we got off the plane it was two days later because of the time zone difference," Mr. Strutzenberg said. On the two week trip, they stayed in Sidney, the capital of Australia, Penrith, a suburb of Sidney and stopped in Hawaii for three days and two nights. The group was supposed to talk to one high school in Sidney but was forced to change their plans because the teachers were on strike for a raise. "I thought that was ironic because they were striking for the same amount of money that we got for a raise," said Mr. Strutzenberg. Mr. Barnett was very impressed with the players and how classy they acted. He also mentioned how much he enjoyed meeting all the new people. "I still correspond with some of the other coaches," Mr. Barnett said. Mr. Barnett was pleased with the entire trip but said receiving letters of appreciation from the parents and seeing the parents getting involved with the kids was the best par t of the experience. No t only did they travel to Australia but Dan Stru t zenberg, Casey McGrain, Todd Barnett and Bill Gray made a three day stop in Hawaii. Photo courtesy of Dan Strutzenberg.

Photo by Stephanie Long. PBA. Those three little letters ring fear in the heart of almost every student, but some freshmen learned that all PBA' s are not evil. In fact, some can be downright fun. Students on the Frosh team experienced a different way of showing what they had learned. Instead of proving , themselves to a teacher, they got some real life experience outside of the traditional walls of a classroom. Students spent about a week in class writing children's stories. Most students also spent a lot of time outside of class working on the assignment. The topics ranged from animals to contained lessons like "Don't cross By Michaela Kanger and Laura Herrick the street alone" or "Don't talk to strangers". The students then went to Children's Land Day Care and read the stories to kids between the ages of three and six. There were around 102 students on the Frosh team, among them there were mixed emotions about the project. "It was a fun and interesting experience," said freshman Tonnya Pruett, but freshman Jenny Richards disagreed and said, "The kids ran all over and didn't listen to the stories." This was the second year that the Frosh team has gone to the daycare to read their children's stories. Both times it has been very successful. Frosh team teacher Mike Johnson said that they decided to do the PBA instead of taking a written test. It seemed to be more fun than tests for the students too. It also helped them with their communication skills as well as using their imagination. So while they were using their classroom knowledge to get a good grade and check-offs toward graduation, they also were able to have fun. Smaller children often look up to people who are older than they are. One of the ways our students have helped with this is by teens teaching tots.

Aside from the basketball, volleyball and fitness, the P.E. classes held their annual dance unit. The four classes of each period came together to do something different. This unit was held in the Old Fieldhouse. From the Polka to the Toosh Push, students experienced many different kinds of dancing. Among some of these were square dancing, line dancing and a few partner dances. Students were not required to dress out for dancing like on a regular P.E. day. Junior Natasha Williams said, "Square dancing is much better than doing the regular P.E. routine." Teachers John Kinsel and Lavonne Pierson taught the junior I senior P.E. classes the Waltz. Although it w as enjoyed by many, there were still a few displeased students. Senior Toby Dofner said, "I'd rather be playing sports than dancing anytime." Freshman Brooke Walker disagreed. "Dancing is better than playing volleyball and other stuff because you don't have to dress out," Walker said. Ms. Pierson led many of the country line dances. She showed each dance step-by-step and then added music. In addition to the line dances, she also showed the students the Electric Slide. Ms.Pierson said that she enjoys teaching the dances, and she also said, "Dance is .... .tradition, socialization, learning respect, coopera tion and equality ..... the essentials fo r a happy life." During the m any years of this tradition, taking time out for the dance unit has proved to be a success among most students , acco r ding to Ms.Pierson. But success or not, it brought people together before the holiday break. Jesse Dale Jeremy Darnold Doug Davis Chad Dennis Tonya Diaz Eric Dofner Tracy Dragoun Becky Driver R.

"Homeroom is a good time to relax and we don't get assigned to do homework," said junior Derek Gruber. But there were people who disagreed, like senior April Strong. Strong said, "Homeroom was just a big waste of time." It's a bird, a plane, no it's Tee Jay Today. TeeJayTodaywasshownduring homeroom along with Channel 1. Tee Jay Today was run by three students, senior Dylan Peck, and juniors Amanda Chatterton and Jamie Story. Tee Jay Today was more then an announcement show, it was responsiblity the students experienced. "Tee Jay Today needed new announcers because they always made mistakes and it was hard to understand what they were saying," said sophomor~ Lisa Christensen. Tee Jay Today talked about all of the sports programs, what is cooking for lunch and special events that were approaching. "Tee Jay Today is very informative; it occupies a lot of time," said sophomore Brian Larson. If homeroom was the easiest class of the day then why did people skip? Junior Eric Blue said, "I do not think you should get suspended for skipping homeroom because it is not a real class." Well there were a lot of people who recieved the consequence . Sophomore Amanda Joslin said, "It was pretty stupid because I received four detentions and I didn't go so they suspended me for three days . That was the cool part." Sophomore Marci Leftridge said, "I w as smart. I skipped before they started takin g the real attendance.

Two languages were offered . French and Spanish classes were available to any students interested. Such foreign language classes were requirements for s01ne colleges. Many colleges require at least two years of a certain language in high school before adn1ittance to their school. "Foreign language classes are beneficial to students because they allow you to expand your knowl- edge of different languages and learn more about other countries," said senior Angie Fender. Language classes not only taught students to speak a different language, but it also taught the1n to explore different cultures and geography. Beginning Spanish classes explored Spanish classes by singing different Spanish songs. Some consisted of: "El Alfabeto" (The Alphabet), El Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead), and Los Doce Dias de Navidad (The Twelve Days of Chrishnas). Singing these songs taught students that although in different countries, m a n y of the same traditions apply . Students also were given a fun way to translate the language w ithou t work ing straight from a book. Junior D avid Young said, "I used to thin k Spanish was really boring until we started singing those great songs, like the alphabet!"

The seniors in Jane Howard's, Jane Hanigan's, Joe Schick's, and Dan Koch's classes all took the time and effort to make the hall look identical to the time. Well, maybe not identical, but they did a great job trying to relive the spirit. The decorating had been done in previous years, but it had never been as big of a project for the students. Seniors put up street lights, made food, decorations and showed fashions of the time. In that week the seniors participated in many activities. Each of the classes read A Christmas Carol, watched the film, and did research on Charles Dickens. Also the classes did many other things that included planning the food day, doing research on colonial England, and watching the play. Also, the seniors contributed many other things. A lot of the seniors worked in the hallway doing various activities. Some drew bricks, put up blue lighting , others drew pictorals. Senior Jeff Coyle said, "I thougt that the hallway was very eye catching and attractive to all the students that passed through the hallway." Another acivity was planning the feast day. Planning the food day w as big fun for some, others it w as participating. First the seniors had to plan what to do, and research w h at w as to be done. Next the seniors planned the food, music and other splendid activities. Senior Scott Tabor said , "Planning the day w as long an d really thought out."

"Au to mechanics is cool because we get to bring in our own cars and work on them ourselves," said senior Matt Seminara. "The reason so many students like auto shop is because it gives them extra time to work on their cars. And for most, if not all, it saves a lot of time and money," said junior Bruce Cash. One of the big projects auto mechanics took on was to rebuild a 1968 Mustang. They bought the car for $200 and the class put $1,500 in restoring it, and they sold it for $2,500 by sealed bid. Auto shop teacher Lester Kadner said,"If someone is willing to apply themself, then I can help them save money on working on their ow n car. There are three things that I can offer the students in the class; I can help them on their own repairs, teach them to be a better consumer and help them save money." "The things that Mr. Kadner has offered our class has helped me out. I have saved at least $1,200 on rebuilding my engine in class, rather than taking it into a shop. Another positive thing about working on your own car is you are not getting ripped off, and it is getting done the right way," said junior Aaron Ring. ___ ... ~ ...... :> ...

Dissecting, coloring pictures, making children's books and taking field trips are a few ways the Biology I Zoology teachers made class fun. "Dissecting was the best part of science class," said sophomore Jason Rasmussen. Dissecting, gave the students the opportunity to actually see the different parts, which they had been learning about. Seeing a display up close was a lot easier than trying to visualize it. Teacher Lori Williams class made childrens' books to better understand the rainforest. They first chose an animal, then had Joe Koopmeiners Kerry Kritenbrink Nikki LaFerla Amanda Larsen Christian Lear Rob Leonard Patty Kriley Rachel Kritenbrink Joey Lane Bryan Larson Marci Leftridge Matthew Lesley to write a story explaining the animal's living conditions, eating habits, etc. The story had to be written so that an elementary student could learn something about the rainforest. Coloring cells was not only fun, but it was educational. By using colors, students believed it was much easier to identify the different structures. The Human Biology class took a field trip to Iowa City, Iowa on April 28 and 29. They toured the campus, especially the science departments and were able to talk to school counselors if they were interested in attending the college. This trip allowed students to see how science differed from high school to college.

"It has been an interesting year thus far", said physics teacher Terry Todd.," A lot of the students are interested in physics because they like to do experiments." One of the favorite experiments was when students held a pendulum above their head and it swung down towards their face. In actuality it never touched them, but it caused one to jump and flinch. Another experiment a lot of students seemed to enjoy was when Mr. Todd "charged students' hair up". Students touched an electrical charged glass ball, and it caused every Melissa Reiss Tawnya Richards D oug Reichart Marcus Rodarte Ed die Rose Jon Ryb a hair in their head to stand straight up. Senior Matt H atcher said, "The most interesting thing about physics w as the way Mr. Todd teachesit, he'sacool guy." Experiments also played a big role in chemistry. Chem istry is the science that deals with the composition, structure and properties of substances. Some of the fav orite experim ents of chemistry students included an experiment w h ere they burned certain chemicals and it made brilliant colors. The favorite experiment according to chem istry students w as the exploding milk lab. Junior N ick Sorenson said, "I like ch emistry because you can d o labs, and learn a lot of neat stuff.

Jenkins said, "Photography was a good learning experience. I spent a lot of my time helping others in the darkroom." Jenkins also entered some of his photographs in various art competitions. During the class time the students were assigned to do four projects. The first project was to take pictures of shadows. The second requirement was to take pictures of lines. The third was Dana White to take pictures of people. The final assignment was to write a story and have 10 pictures to go with the story. "A picture is worth a thousand words," said sophomore Josh Fouts. Senior Jake Toman said, "Photography is cool. The best part of it was, you got to take pictures and develop them yourself. The worst part had to be the smell of all the chemicals." The students learned that there was a lot more to taking a picture than just pointing and shooting. There were things like, camera selection, photo composition, how to make a proof sheet, how to print and how to develop the film.

Junior Ryan Ronk said," I don't think the tests are very difficult, but there are a few hard parts to some of them." Unfortunately some students believed that the tests were hard. Teachers had different degrees of difficulty in their tasks. An example was a task in Linda Gardner's English class. The task was to explain why the 1990's are the hardest times to live in than any other time. "I had to work really hard." said junior Tony Renshaw. Some of the students were worried if they were going to get all of their indicators by the time they graduated. Others had no worries at all. Junior Kyle Edie said," I'm kind of worried thatifldon'tdo good on the rest of the tests I have to take that I won't graduate." The requirements for graduation were that students must have acquired 21 indicators before they graduated. Sophomore John Sealock said," I don't understand why we have to take these tests.

The fall play, Blithe Spirit, was a big hit with the students. On the downside Children's Theatre was cancelled because of lack of attendance by the elementary students. Choir also had junior Sarah Porter go to AllState and junior Mike Lane was an alternate. The honor marching band had four ban d members go to the Fiesta Bowl to perform during half time.

Noise 111 ~ ~· ''" ~ Drama Students Go To Visit The Windy City ~ By Ricky Prosolow Over Christmas break in 1996, the Drama department teok a trip to that "Toddlin' town" of Chicago, Illinois. They left early in the morning on Dec. 16 and didn't get back until after Dec. 20. One thing the whole group remembers is the food. They all agreed that the best place was Ed Debevic's, a restaurant devoted to the 50' s and 60' s. " The odd thing about Ed Debevic's", said junior Bobby Gittins, "was that the waiters were rude. They were supposed to be that way. The waiters would tell the group to refill their own drinks and clean up their own messes. Their waiter was Moondog, a 50' s rock musician impersonator who had an incredibly high hair-do. Some of the other things the group remembers about Debevic's was the jukebox (which played only oldies music) and the soda fountains. Gittins said, "Debevic's was a blast." The trip also led them to the set of Home Alone 3, which was being filmed inside Mr. Gibson's sister in law's house at that time, so they toured the house. They also saw said some productions, which included "Sheer Madness", "Show boat" and "Mojo". In "M ojo", Mr. Gibson was able to see someone he knew in the show, so the group was taken backstage. They w ere show n various things, such as how to work some of the p rops and the different positions on the set. Th ose that went were Drama teacher John Gibson and sophomores Jeff Smay and Andrew Vogt, juniors Tim H ough, Mike Lane, Tyler Brown, Bobby Gittins, Megan Webster, Jam ie Story, Nicole Moore and Mike Garreans, and seniors Andrea M asoner, Elizabeth Hurt, Tracy Sales, Dylan Peck, Chad Sulley, Jackie Gardener and Diane Frazier. They also noticed many differences, but few similarities, between Chicago and Council Bluffs. Some of the differences included the size, the theaters, the libraries and the malls. The prices in the gift sh ops were also very exp en sive, way more than in Council Bluffs. Some similarities were the way Chicagoans dressed and acted. Masoner said, "They (Chicago people) were so rude. I was glad to get back." II Junior Tim Hough relaxes after the long trip to Chicago. Photo courtesy of Bobby Gittins.

There w ere over 150 students in the choirs that let their voices be heard numerous times throughout the school year. The choirs participated in many competitions, and many students also competed as individuals or in small groups. Sophomore Bryan Larson said that his favorite things about being in choir were, "going places, traveling and meeting new people." While at the Lewis Central competition, Jefferson Edition finished fourth for the first time in 20 years. While at a competition in Peru State, part of the Second Edition and Jefferson Edition w ere unable to return home because of a snow storm and were stranded there overnight. "It w as fun staying in the dorms, although they w eren't heated," said sophomore Spring Madsen. H ow ever, like many things, there are ups and downs of being in choir. "A selected few don't work up to their full potential. Some people also mess around and are rude to Mr. Gray," said sophomore Jeff Smay. "Choir rocks! We have fun and enjoy singing. It lets us all do something we are good at, and if you agree with me, rock on! " exclaimed sophomore Brandy Merrifield. Many people enjoyed choir and were also proud of all the hard work that the choirs put in. As a voice of the school the choir has to sound good. Which is the reason w hy the choir is always keeping in tune.

Jl By Laura Herrick "Are the drum majors ready?" Drum major sophomores Shane Anderson, Tina Austin and Jane Beranek salute, go to their respective positions and fire up the band. This scene was common before the band and flag competitions. The marching band and flag squad performed together for a majority of the time, but on occasion they could be found performing seperately. "When you know you did good it makes you feel good," commented sophomore Regan Williams about competitions. The band did do very well, earning a one at Glenwood and a two at state contest. Performances w eren't the only things that students enjoyed. There were also m an y other things. "Um ...the trips. No! Wait, I w ant to change my answer. The trips and w inning stuff," said sophomore Rachel Kritenbrink. Aside from the traditional things of b and and flags, there were some not so traditional things. Like having a boy on the trad ition ally fem ale flag squad. Senior Dylan Peck was the first boy ev er on the flag squad. "I like b eing surrounded b y tons of women! " Peck stated. In addition to being the only boy on the flag squad, Peck was also one of the fou r squad leaders. "He's really good at what he does and he' s d efinitely a lead er," said sophomore Kara Polchow referring to P eck as a squad leader. The other three leaders w ere, sophomores Melissa McClain, Erin Hilton and senior Diane Frazier. The other not so traditional thing was that four of the marching band players played in the Fiesta Bow l during the pre-game show on Jan. 1. Five students from Tee Jay tried out for the Southwest Iowa Honor Marching Band which was part of the band that p layed during the pre-game show. Four of those five mad e the elite grou p. Freshman Nick LeGuillou, McClain, H ilton and Kritenbrink were given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "I can't wait until my senior year so I can try out and go back again!" said McClain. Traditional or not, the band and flag squad perform and perform well. As Polchow put it, "Don't forget to come and watch the band at their next performance." • Band members try hard to stay in step while still concentratiti on their music during one of the many parades.
