Are we having fun yet? A simple yes doesn't satisfy the question.

Nor does a simple I ••••• yes explain the unique aspects of the students who make up Westside High. There is only one answer to the question . .. You bet!! . The year in general was more relaxed and laick. back in comparison to years of the past. "We've got to be the best" turned to "We're going to be the best and have fun doing it." The year also proved the old saying "The more the merrier" true as enrollment increased for the first time in ten years to 1,513 students. Fun ads the right amount of the spice of life for student success, and the students know it. Nobody needs to tell us when we're having fun-you can bet we know it. t L••••••••••

• 3-letter word? There is a t ime and place for everything at Westside. It's the time of your life and certainly the place for fun . Fun is a three-letter word, but it means so much more. Fun could paint a thousand different smiles you might remember . Fun describes that special part of summer parties, " Gremlins", shopping sprees , basketball games, holiday vacations and senior pranks . Admittedly, most students sweated through weeks, especially the first few , wondering if there really was any fun to be had at all . Celebration p layed a part in all students' lives as people threw parties involving hundreds of students while teachers organized small "Fiestas," c elebrating everything from Halloween to a Friday afternoon. School was involved celebrating Westside's honor as one of the top 202 high schools in the nation . Are we having fun yet ... ? You Bet !

Season of the tan

Finals were over, books were turned in, and thoughts of summer were in the minds of everyone . Long nights spent studying were soon to be replaced by weeknight parties or even midnight swims at Regency Lake . Summer activities were a wonderful relief from nine months of school. Students had different ideas of how they wanted to spend their time this summer. Whether it was traveling, participating in a sport, or just spending time with friends , it seemed that everyone discovered his or her own way of having fun . June went by rather slowly with heavy rains, including floods . But July and August certainly made up for it with sunny days to be spent, where else, but by the pool. "I went to the pool every day," said Kim Glathar, junior. A summer night on the town found many Westsiders using their minds, just to think of something to do. Students could be found doing anything from " tee-peeing" a friend 's car to just driving around, listening to their favorite music . Whatever the activity, the key word was fun . Work was on the agenda of students as they took on summer jobs wherever help was needed. But non-working hours were well spent as workers joined their friends after hours. Parties occupied much of the student's time, and even when a party couldn 't be found , many familiar faces at Burger King and Oakdale could . Summer concerts such as R.E.M . and the Cars were a major part of summer activities; as were movie sensa tions such as " Ghostbusters" and "Gremlins." Whatever the choice, Omaha certainly provided a variety of activities to fill summer days and nights. Summer was summer; hot, fun , minus homework , and too short . With the end of August came the beginnning of books. new faces . school and fun .

A SUMMER SIZZLER

LlvlnCJ Poolslde While staying up all hours of the night, cramming for finals at the end of May, students couldn 't help letting their minds drift away to thoughts of summer. When thinking about summer the first thing that usually comes to mind are warm sunny days spent by the pool. Although Omaha is miles away from the nearest beach, places such as Happy Hollow, Regency, or even someone's backyard, were excellent replacements. Living poolside became a 24 hour way of life for many; as nightly summer pool parties became a common sight. Life guarding was a way for certain students to maKe money over the summer, with great benefits. " It's an easy job, since I'd be down at the pool every day anyway," said Liz Babcock , lifeguard at Rockbrook Pool. Babcock said that although it is a responsibility, most of the kids don't cause much trouble . Yet for many , living poolside meant living inside. Student s picked up extra cash this summer teaching swimming lessons at Westside . Gina Burkhiser, swimming instructor, said , " I love teaching, although it would be a lot better if it were outside ." Sunny days, high temperatures and clear skys meant a crowded day in and around the pool . Life guards were rarely given breaks from work as students swarmed the pools . Even toward the close of the summer students could be found catching last -minute rays to start the school year with a deep tan . But as summer diminished, and the weather began to cool , it was time, once again, to hit the books . " Summer is always so much fun , but it's so hard to come back to school," said Tim Fischer, junior. Students are sure to agree with Fischer, but as soon as reality set in, it was time to settle down. t

Whether dressing for a date with that special someone. or just going out on the town with friends. fashion plays a big part in the action. Bright colored shirts and faded jeans seem to have been the key for dressing in fashion . When dressing for a date it seems that more people tend to lean towards the comfortable side rather than going all out . When students go out on dates they dress to have fun and to enjoy themselves. " When I go out I dress in my most comfortable clothes so I can have fun and not worry about my clothes". said Barb Goeser. sophomore.

· Fashion Calendar

January through De cember; autumn through spring. No matter what the time of month or day of the year fashion accents the occasion. A bulky wool sweater in the winter or a light cotton shirt in the spring, fashion wardrobes are sure to express the season. " I love dressing for winter. It's great to get up on a cold winter morning when it's snowing outside and put on a big sweater. Winter is my favorite season to dress for," said Peggy Kelly, junior. When spring comes around the attitude usually follows the weather. " It always puts me in a good mood. I go out and buy new clothes in spring because it makes me feel fresh and like I'm starting over," said Cathy Smith, Step by step fashion . For an allseason display of weather extremes as modeled by students prove that there's high fashion in an Omaha downtown alley .

senior. Whatever the season it seems that everyone feels that what they wear is important " It can make your mood. My clothes usually express my personality. Everything that I have is bright and flashy , mainly because that's how I see myself, hyper and happy," said Gina Burkhiser, junior. Fashion trends, season by season and year by year are just as important as a single Friday night date. The clothes worn year after year change as quickly as the leaves fall off the trees in autumn and the snow falls to the ground in winter. No matter what the season. fashion expresses the climate and the person. Lisa Donovan, junior. prefers fall clothes because " Darker clothes look better on taller people ." What's best for one may be just the opposite for another. Your style is what you make it. t

Locker personality

.• • • •.•.•

Walking down the hall you notice people standing by their open lockers. But what you I I don't notice is what's hanging on the inside of the I lockers. Needless to say. nobody gives much thought to how they decorate their locker. but what a person pins up in his locker says a lot about personality . "Everybody decorates their locker the way they want . It reflects their personality because it's their own things pinned up. It's what they want not what someone else likes." The most popular items that people decorate their locker with are GQ cut-outs. "cute" sayings cut from magazines. and pictures of rock stars . Some people get original and hang pictures of their boyfriend. or girlfriend. "I hang up pictures of guys and cartoons out of the paper that I think are really funny," Doris Grage. senior. commented . There is also "the few and the proud" who hang up Marine and Army decals. It is not unusual to see "Only in a Jeep," "This Bud's For You," and "Come to think of it ... I'll have a Heineken," taped all over lockers. Dirty phrases and pictures frequent other lockers. Barry Doncheski. senior. said. "I hang up pictures of women in my locker - preferably nude." But the overall most popular items are. beer ads. labels. and bottle caps . Grage said. "One thing I don't like is beer lids and signs. That looks tacky ." Decorating the outside of lockers is saved for special occasions such as birthdays and wishing good luck before a game. Streamers outline the locker which has balloons taped to it with a sign . Each person decorates their locker the way he That's what makes any locker a personal locker I

Limited parking arouses panic

\W2'10Wint SVndro•• With approximately 250 legitimate parking spaces on the school grounds, there is a tendency for students to park in the teacher's lot or park illegally . One method the administration uses to solve this problem is to have the illegally parked cars towed . Though the administration feels this is a good solution. many students are opposed to towing. Chris Fishback, senior. has been towed once this year. According to Fishback it is unfair to tow "because all students should be entitled to parking . It's not fair for students that drive to school to be forced to park three blocks away and towing is certainly no solution." Students agree that it is a hassle to retrieve their car at Gordon's Towing at a cost of $25. "Some students don't have the money and if you don't have the money, you can't get your car," said Fishback. Mr. Dave Rogers, building supervisor, said that Westside always uses Gordon's Towing company for a number of reasons. "Gordy always does a good job. he is a graduate of Westside, and most importantly he gives students a discount. Normally the fee is $30 to $35 to get your car. but he charges $25 for students," explained Rogers. The belief that cars will be towed on Tuesdays and Thursdays or on set days is inaccurate. " We don't have anything that says we must tow a certain number of times a week or a certain number of days. We tow just as complaints are warranted," said Rogers. Rogers said that the parking problem at Westside has not been solved, but a lot of things are helping. "There are fewer students, and towing has helped because students run a risk if they park in the teacher's lot." Although students can't always be assured a place to park, there is one thing they can be sure of. The towing syndrome will continue in the future .

Disaster Dates .·.·.·.·.·. •••••••••• •••••

It's Saturday night. He's running ten minutes early, she's running ten minutes late. She rushes to to get ready as he makes "small talk" with her parents. They finally get going and find out that their small talk isn't any more exciting than the parents. It's obviously going to be one of those "exciting evenings." Some time throughout the high school years. just about every student will experience one of those dreaded disaster dates. The ones where the car won't start. reservations aren't made, or flowers aren't ready, or maybe even all of the above. Students often find out that formal dates, homecomings and proms. are often good examples of disaster dates. "Everything is supposed to be perfect." said Ann Lovercheck. junior. adding that this isn't always the situation. Tracy Tondl, junior. feels that just dressing up makes people feel uncomfortable. "It's really embarrassing to have to pin flowers and take pictures," Tondl said . Arguing the girls' point. Tom Schaff. junior. felt that formal dances should be different. "You'd be taking the same person to the dance as you would on a casual date." Schaff stated, "It doesn't make a difference if you're dressed up or in jeans." Blind dates are oftentimes sure set-ups for disaster dates. Colleen Brady. junior. said, "You barely know them and there is nothing to talk about." This can leave both members of the couple feeling uncomfortable. On the other hand, students felt that blind dates can be more fun and exciting than regular dates. Kathy Mann. junior, said, "It's a fun thing to experience, especially if it works out." Lori Pierson. junior. agreed. "It's better than a regular date because you're around someone you don't associate with every day." When nerves start setting in while getting ready for a date. relax. Everyone will go through a disaster date sooner or later. Better later than sooner .•.

Doug Ruge. sophomore, commented, " I think flirting is an art." It's a form of manipulating people . The kinds of people who are best to flirt with seem to vary . Brian McGuire, senior, likes, " Good-looking girls with a good sense of humor." Robyn Mclaughlin, juniors, prefers, "Blonde, blue-eyed football players with muscular bodies ." Ruge commented, " Yeah, I flirt with girls even if they 're ugly." Once the best kind of girl or guy to flirt with has been picked out, something must be said to catch the unwitting partner's attention, and keep it . McGuire uses the humorous approach . His line is, "Usually girls with moustaches don't seem as comfortable in public as you do. " Mclaughlin uses the more subtle approach when trying to make that ever-so-important impression. She uses, " an innocent hello, a wink , and a big smile ." Tony Caniglia, junior, commented, " I don't flirt with girls, I am just very friendly . If someone calls me a flirt I just ignore them . What do they know about how I interact with other people?" Steve Clark , senior, sums up flirting as "just a fun way to get to know people better." t

Preoccupation with weight seems to have become a common occurrence in school. ·~········~· "Before seventh grade I lost 30 pounds," .·.·.·.·.·~· said Jenny Hart, senior. "I was obese. And it made me very self-conscious, especially when others made fun of me." Peer pressure seems to be the number one reason why people watch their weight so carefully . "I think people watch their weight because everyone worries about what others will think of them," said Hart. Another reason for weight loss is athletics. "Wrestlers lose weight so they can do their best in a certain weight division," said Dave Myers, senior. "For wrestlers it's important to lose weight. for others it isn't." "Wrestlers cut weight to psychologically get in a weight class that best fits them," Mr. Lou Miloni. wrestling coach, said . "I don't necessarily believe in dieting, but my wrestlers weren't forced into weight loss. They make the choice to or not to, and I help them with their decision." The wrestling team has tried many weight loss methods, including the Cambridge Diet plan. "I don't believe in diet pills or diet plans. All you have to do is cut back on portions," explained Miloni. "But, you really don't need to lose weight to be a champ." However, any type of athletics can pose a threat to losing too much weight . "I ran 8 to 12 miles a day," said Dan Tollman, senior. "I had a hard time keeping weight on . If I gained weight, I figured I was eating too much, or if I lost weight, I thought I was exercising too much. But. everyone's weight fluctuates a little," he said . "Everyone looks better with a little more fat, than no fat at all," said Scott Hazelrigg, sophomore, "Especially girls."

•:•:•:•:•:• "Hey, you guys. What's going on tonight? Are •.•.•.•.•.• there any parties?" Around 11th mod on Fri•• • • • ••• day's, these words were often heard throughout the halls. Whether it was a warehouse, throughout the halls. Whether it was a warehouse, backyard, living room, or a cornfield. parties were the thing to do. " Parties are great. They give you a chance to really get to know people without any of the pressures of school or homework. People are really themselves at parties, really laid back. They act a lot different in different surroundings other than school," said Andrea Caruso, senior. Parties are usually mixtures of several different schools. Prep and Westside party a lot together as do Burke and Central with Westside. "It's great to go to a party where you don't know all the people. By the end of the party, you have met a whole bunch of new people" said Marti Cieslik, also a senior. "We go to mostly Westside parties or to parties where the people have graduated from here. They're the easiest to hear about and they're usually small so they don't get busted," said Jennifer Forman, senior. It is a known fact that alcohol is present at most parties, but for many that doesn't pose a problem. "There isn't any pressure to drink. If you want to drink you can, but people don't make fun of you if you don't. People are really cool about it a most parties," said Julie Carstensen. Parties are a lot of fun and they provide something to do other than just driving around or spending the money to go to a movie. As Andi Patton, junior, put it "I wish there were a lot more!" t

Susie Noddle, senior, said, "I love Saturdays. It's a day when I can do whatever I want and then party that night." The most popular Saturday afternoon events include shopping, watching Nebraska football games, or playing some sort of sport. Guy Korbitz. senior. said, "If it's warm enough, I play football or basketball. if not I watch college football on T.V ." Another sport that compliments a Saturday afternoon is tennis.

Each of Westside's four yearly productions entail commitments made not only by the performers, but also by the director, lighting crew, make-up, props, and all other back-stage help. The drama season opened with the play " Picnic ." It was performed Tuesday through Saturday November 1,2,3. Along with memorization, character development is another important aspect of each production. Each performer, with the help of Mr. L.D . Fortney, drama instructor, tries to master their character's personality, dialect, and uniqueness. The second production staged was " You Can't Take It With You" Thursday through Saturday, February 7,8,9. Bill Padgett and Caroline Aita were cast as the leads. This year's one act play was entitled, "Oh Dad Poor Dad Moma's Hung You in the closet and I'm feeling ' So Sad . The play wos performed January 15 at district competition at Millard North . One major problem the drama department faces each year is the fact that they lie in the athletic department's shadow . One drama student , Jeff Shields, said, "Sports activities are uplifted and exalted . If people would get involved and see the plays, they would see how good our drama department is."

An evening termed

AlMOSt Paradise ••••••••••• •••••• •••••••••••••••• Music was perfect, the decorations were ••••••••••• ••••••••••• great, and the atmosphere seemed to be "Al• • • • • • most Paradise ." Homecoming was a success. "Everything was perfect, it was all just the way that it was supposed to be," said Beth Kelley, Z-Ciub president. Cheerleaders, Z-Ciub, Future Business Leaders of America, and the Homecoming Committee spent all morning Saturday from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m . to get ready for the evening . Clouds, balloons, and angels were in the decorations that set the mood for the special night. Every club participated in the action . Each wall was decorated by a specific club. The bright colored paper and the "heavenly" decorations added to the overall aura. The Wingtips, the band that played, was a big hit with the students. "Everyone danced and really had a lot of fun. Finally they had a decent band," said David Stiles, junior. Aithough the juniors had PSA T's Saturday morning, many students still had enough energy left to dance all night long. "Even though I had the test in the morning it really didn't affect me, I had so much energy because I was excited that the Wingtips were playing that all I did was dance all night long," said Jennifer Turkel, junior. At 9 p.m . the fun began as the band started to play and the people started to dance. Then it was time for the coronation. The 24 seniors consisted of 12 boys and 12 girls who the student body had picked in an earlier vote. The candidates walked down the aisle as everyone watched to see who would be crowned the next queen and king . Mr. Roger Herring, head football coach began his walk down to crown the king, Chris Thunblom; then Chris went searching for his Queen, Suzanne Parsonage. The decision was quite a surprise to Suzanne Parsonage, "I never thought I'd be queen, it just didn't seem real." The two danced to the song "Almost Paradise ." t

Although the Homecoming Dance seemed to have been a total success the activities : were planned for the traditonal weekend were spoiled by ever changing weather pat-

terns. The traditional parade and bon-fire was in the making, and final details were being sorted out. It was obvious that everyone was excited for the night. Speakers were lined up to come, even bands were planned to play, it was sure to be a success. But the rain came and everything that everyone had hoped for was gone. The bon-fire was cancelled, but many still believed that activiites would still be going on that special night. "When I heard that the bon-fire was cancelled it made me really mad, but still I thought that they would have had something," said Tim Mausbac, junior. As time wore on, everything was cancelled. The decision was made- not to be changed . The reactions from the students were unreal, everyone was upset. "What was Homecoming without activities?" asked one student. "It ruined the whole mood of the Homecoming week . I felt like all the spirit was gone," said Tracy Tondl, junior. Even though the bon-fire was a bomb the parade went off big. The number of floats this year went up from 12 last year to 18 this year. "There were a lot of people involved, everyone's work really paid off," said Ruth Nelson, senior. The parade lasted about 20 minutes and took a new path this year because 105th street was closed due to repairs. The band began to march and the parade was soon over. The excitement moved toward the football game. The Warriors won big over the Benson Bunnies, 35-0. Despite the rough ends and the plans that fell through, Homecoming was a huge success with the students. t Full of smiles and enthusiasm. Inter-

What may be fun for one person may not be for another, but there are a number of things that are good common sources of fun to all students . Dates, parties, and dances all rate high on the list of good times, for most, but those activ ties are also rather typical. Many students feel that doing something completely out of the ordinary is more fun than such things as dates and parties. "One day, when we were really, really bored, my friends and I went to the airport and just hung out all day. It's great to see all those guys getting off the planes who just got back from Hawaii," said one senior. " It sounds kind of dumb, but we had a great t ime, and we picked up a lot of guys. " Often. the most enjoyable times occur when they 're not expected to . " The funnest times aren't planned . They're totally spontaneous," said Marti Cieslik , senior.

The unexpected frequently turns out to be the most enjoyable . Things like prom where ~:·:·:·:·:·: plans are so definite don't usually turn out to be so great," Marti Ciesbik said . Parties, planned or unplanned, seem to be a favorite source of fun for most students . Parties come in all shapes and sizes. Big or small. indoors or out . They all have fun potential. Parties with students from other schools are also popular . The risk and adventure of doing something illegal is inviting to some students . Hitting the bars is a popular pastime where bands such as the "Wingtips" lure students in for a good time . This option, though, is only open to those who have a fake ID or lucky enough not to get carded by the bouncers. Sporting events such as indoor soccer provide a good time not only for the athlete, but for those who just like to watch as well . Warrior football and basketball are also popular as evident by large crowds. All in all, having fun is a matter of personal opinion. It varies from person to person, as Dave Jordan described his outlook of having fun , "I like to party!" ~~··········

A lot to offer College. fun. and friends. clubs have a lot to offer. Some may give a chance to learn about business. while others may just provide fun. Different strokes for different folks seems to be the motto that the clubs Students get inhave to offer volved in a wide va each student. riety of clubs. There are approximately 30 clubs at Westside. the number varies from season to season and week to week . The three biggest clubs are Future Business Leaders of America. International Club. and Z-Ciub. Each club offers a different amount of activities. For instance, Z-Ciub offers the chance to participate in Honey Sunday and the chance to participate in the decorating for Homecoming. While FBLA members learn how to conduct business, they may tour business firms or even set up their own business. This club is more of a learning experience. No matter which club is joined, fun is sure a big part. "Clubs make Westside what it is. It joins everyone together and contributes to Westside excellence," said Suzanne Remembering the good times. Looking Parsonage. senior. at old pictures lets Stephanie Froistad. "It gives you a chance to meet Betsy Robbins and Amy Matthews, juniors, a lot of people that you would re-live past memories of International Club have never met if it wouldn't at Club Fair Day. have been for the club," said Tonee Farhart, a member of Junior Classical League. It's apparent that clubs offer students a good time. "In Z-Ciub we try and make everyone have fun with what they are doing," said Beth Kelley, Z-Ciub president.

Most of the clubs have meetings after. or before school, but that doesn't seem to drop the amount of participation. The activities that the clubs do are all school sponsored, but are not done during school time. "Even though sometimes I have to stay after school or come early, It really doesn't bother me because it is so much fun," said Sarah Brune, junior. Although Westside has a lot of inter-school activities some clubs such as F.C.A. (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) involves Westside students. but is not a schoolsponsored club . The meetings are held every other week at Countryside Church. This club involves around 30 members who are Westside students. "Being in a club at Westside makes school a lot more fun and it also looks good on your records for college. It makes you look as if you were involved with the activities going on in your school," said Shelly Ehlers, junior. Many students do join clubs to make their college records look good. but the majority join because they really want to be involved in their school. Especially sophomores, who tend to jbin because they are now at high school and want to really be a part of their new school. "I joined the clubs because I really want to be known for who I am this year and not just as another sophomore," said Suzi Rosenberg. It's obvious that there are a variety of clubs to take part in. Each one could add excitement. responsibility, and most of all fun to high school life. No matter what the interest is sure to be one to suit all. Be involved, after all clubs make Westside what it is. t Jolnlno FILA was never this much fun. With a handshake and a smile, Joe Llndwall, senior, is welcomed into FBLA by Brian Carnaby, senior, and friends.

Hours of work lead to awards What could a newspaper and a yearbook have in common? For one thing, the "Lance" and "Shield" both have " young" staffs, which means there are more juniors than seniors. The yearbook has only five seniors with previous experience; the newspaper only seven. "I was kind of scared because there were so many inexperienced people, but I realized how dedicated everyone was," said Suzanne Parsonage, editor-in-chief of the "Shield." Having such inexpe-

rienced staffs, the "Lance" and "Shield" must work harder to achieve their goals and make their deadlines. "I think everybody's really learning a lot and by the end of the year we will be experienced," Noel Gerdes, associate editor of the "Lance", said. Another thing the "Lance" and "Shield" have in common is their ability to win awards year after year. "Over the past five years the newspaper and yearbook have received four Pacemaker awards," said Mr.

John Hudnall, adviser. "This is a record few high schools in the country can claim . These awards are a result of dedication by staff members." The Pacemaker award is the highest award given in the country by the National Scholastic Press Association. The National Scholastic Press Association also distributes the honor rating of All American, in recognition of merit awards. Last year, both the "Lance" and the "Shield" received the All American rating .

Attending a Regional Leadership Conference, in Kansas City, was a first for FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) . This conference lasted two days where the members attended workshops . "This conference is only workshops whereas state is competition also," said Teena Christoffersen, president of FBLA. The state conference students compete in different areas and attend workshops, however, the regional conference students only attend workshops. The workshops cov-

ered nine different areas such as public speaking, poise and etiquette, parliamentary procedure, membership recruit , interpersonal relations, written communication, competitive event report writing and resume writing. Another activity dealing with business included alumni coming to Westside and speaking on job interviewing . "This (alumni speaking) will be required for seniors and optional for underclassmen," said Winslow. "Honey Sunday (in

the fall) was one of our most successful activities," said Winslow . FBLA raised $1400 in three hours for GOARC (Greater Omaha Association for Retarded Citizens) "There was a lot of enthusiasm and participation," said Christoffersen.

Leadership is what Distributive Education Clubs of America strived for . "That's what DECA is all about leadership" said Stephanie Drey, president. "DECA is unique because of it's co-curricular format, " said Mr. Don Gilpin, co-sponsor of DECA. Students register for the program and it is put into their schedule as a class. Its major topics are marketing and distribution. One of the main goals of DECA was to have as many members as possible qualify for the national conference in San Francisco in May. "It was really neat to see high school students from all over the world act," said Drey. Before qualifing for national students must place first. second. or third in the district conference held at Bellevue West and the

state conference in Lincoln . "There are 14 different categories dealing with marketing and distribution and those who get first. second, or third in their category go on to nationals," said Drey. In each of the 14 categories students were required to take a written and oral test. The written test is simply graded and placement is determined by the number correct. The oral portion consisted of acting out a business transaction . "When I took the oral part I was a sales clerk at the Limited and had to handle one of the judges as a customer . They judged me on how I handled him. " said Drey. "We were really excited about this year because we had a lot of good kids that could've qualified for the Nationals." said Gilpin . t

"Mindbullders" are what Louie Masters and DECA students call tests. The word test has been substituted to keep up the positive thinking attitude.

Mother-daughter tea, a Christmas luncheon party for the TMR students, Christmas exchange. and volunteer projects completed every month by all of the 150 members of Z-Ciub . These activities made Z-Club the involved service club it was intended to be . Z-Club is strictly a girls' service club open to any junior or senior girl. The activities they sponsor were all part of Z-Ciub's services performed by members. Mrs. Lois LeFebvre, faculty sponsor of Z-Ciub.

explained. "There were 160 girls who put in their applications to become members but only 50 or 60 are active . That is average ." Teaching people how to do services for other people is the goal of Z-Ciub. "Every year one or two people will find a unique friendship from their service that really helps them feel good." LeFebvre said. The "different regulations" are what make this club different, said Beth Kelley, president. There are manda-

tory meetings at least twice a month and also mandatory services each month. All of the girls are required to complete at least one volunteer project every month. LeFebvre said, "It is a real positive ex perience for the people who really get involved." t

Organization is the key to success and success is the perfect word to describe International Club . The reason for the success of the International Club is largely due to the organization of the officers . "They have given 200 percent. They are definitely interested and that interest is mirrored by the rest of the club," said Mrs. Sheryl Wiitala, sponsor. "Our purpose is to promote cultural understanding and awareness of other peoples through cultural activities." These activities, which include speakers. fundraisers. and ethnic celebrations, were successful because of the organization of the club.

International Club awards scholarships to members who meet specific criteria . President Cris Fishback explains eligibility requirements at a meeting.

"This is by far our most active year yet. " said Cris Fishback. president. "We have held seven activities this year as opposed to two at the same point in time last year." The annual candy bar sale in November raked in around $2.000 in profits and there was a substantial carryover from last year's funds. This money goes to scholarships offered to members. Applicants for the scholarship are judged by financial need. grades. contribution to the club and interest. The foreign language teachers select those who will receive the scholarship. About four or five are awarded depending on the amount of funds available.

Unique steins were shown off at Oktoberfest. Among the most original mugs were those owned by Mike Honeyman. Jill Gothmann. Brian Christensen. and Anna Kuehl daughter of Mrs. Jan Kuehl. German instructor.

While some clubs are meeting in a hot. stuffy classroom. or auditoriums. one unique club is meeting in the depths of the school's indoor swimming pool . Subsurfers. sponsored by Mr. Harley Hardison. is a club described by Hardison. "to stimulate interest in scuba diving and skin diving." From student response. the purpose must be working. Jim Pouchert. senior. said. "Given the chance to try scuba diving. I was able to gain enough interest in scuba diving to pay for a certification class." Subsurfers meet at the pool 14 times a semester from 8:30 to 10 p .m. on Tuesday even-

ings. Hardison said, "Anybody can join at any time . We have 2 tanks and 12 regulators." The tanks. fins. masks. and the use of the equipment are open to anyone interested in underwater diving. Subsurfing is definitely not a hobby for many Nebraskans. But subsurfing can be taken advantage of on trips to the coast. Hardison said. "If you like water activities and are interested in underwater diving and are lucky to live somewhere outside of Nebraska or have a job with a tremendous number of vacations. then you could use it (Subsurfing activities)." Open water certifi-

Seeking something different, Drama Club has created a new form of representation. "We have a triumvirate which means instead of having a president, vice president, etc., we have three people who have an equal authority and do an equal amount of work," said Chris Martin, triumvirate member. The other two members are Jeff Shields and Bridget Mergens. "It's very unique at Westside, because we are the only club who has the triumvirate," added Martin. The purpose of the club is to "promote drama at Westside and at other schools as well," said Mike Sulli-

van, club member. "We have an exchange program with Ralston; we went to one of their plays and they're coming to one of ours," said Martin. "It's a lot of fun because you meet lots of interesting and inspiring people," said Jill Rausch . "It's kind of an underrated club because people don 't really know what we do. We go to plays and movies and have a lot of parties," added Rausch . "I think in the future we should try to get more members and become involved in more activities," Sullivan said . "I joined because I knew a lot of people who belonged and it

sounded interesting," added Sullivan. "In junior high I was in Westbrook's production of 'Guys and Dolls' so I became interested in drama at Westside," Martin said. C.J. Mac joined "because I'm very interested in the theatre and belonging to the club meant that I would be around people who shared that interest.''t

Some clubs are concerned with membership, others are concerned with rules, but Quill and Scroll is mainly concerned with eating - banquet eating at its finest. Quill and Scroll, the international society for high school journalists has but one main responsibility each year, the planning and organizing of the annual journalism banquet each spring. Anne Parker, Quill and Scroll president, said, "We pride our-

selves in having the finest and most elaborate journalism banquet in the state . Our banquet will involve over 150 people . It's definitely a class act." The Quill and Scroll Society has strict entrance requirements. Students must be in the upper one-fourth of their class, have participated in the yearbook or newspaper . program for at least one year, and be recommended by the advisor and voted in by the membership.

The Quill and Scroll membership is smalL "We purposely keep it small in order to keep the membership selective," said Dave Ahlquist, vice president. Mr. John HudnalL Quill and Scroll sponsor, said, "Many don't realize just how much weight this organization has with colleges. It ranks higher than National Honorary Society since it is a specialty area ." The journalism banquet is held annually in the spring of the year.

For the past two years the banquet has been held at Highland Country Club . "Although we are not an active organization year-round, we do contribute to our own area. It is one group that draws from two different organizations, the newspaper and the yearbook staff," said Parker.

Each summer cheerleaders go to camp to learn new cheers and get new ideas. Jenny Hart explains the trophies and ribbons the squad won last summer.

Hard work and discipline is required to become a cheerleader. However, before students could try out for cheerleading there were certain procedures they had to go through . "First we hold a meeting and explain to them about how much time it involves and what exactly is expected of them ." said Mrs. Peg Johnson, cheerleading sponsor. After the meeting students were asked to get five teacher recorflmendations. "This is to make sure they're responsible in class and if they're organized enough to handle the extra load," said Johnson. They also must have

taken 15 credits and be passing all of their classes. "These are the same requirements for athletes," said Johnson. If grades do begin to fall, however, students are suspended from cheerleading until the grades begin to come up again. "We usually don't have a problem with that," said Johnson. Once these were accomplished they were able to try out. There were 12 impartial judges who chose both boys and girls cheerleaders. "They usually are old former cheerleaders. people who don't have anything to do with the school," said Johnson. There were five basic

categories the judges looked at; physical appearance, jumps, enthusiasm, voice projection, and execution. Boys' cheerleading takes four sophomores, six juniors, and eight seniors. However, girls cheerleading takes four sophomores and the other 14 can be any number of juniors or seniors. "Girls cheerleading is a little bit newer and not as developed as boys cheerleading, but they're looking good," said Johnson.

It was still dark out and the air was cool and damp. A student got in and started her car, and turned on the headlights. She pulled out onto the deserted street and headed toward school. This was the morning routine for drill squad members. To some, this daily ritual may seem ridiculous, but, as drill squad member Jill Weiland said, "It's something â&#x20AC;˘:that must be done. In order to look our best , morning practices are a must." Why in the morning? "People have things to do after school," said Shelly Smekal, senior. "You don't want to be burdened with an hour and a half of practice when you could be sleeping or doing homework ." Although it may seem to take dedica-

tion to get up early and practice, Weiland said, "It isn't as bad as people think . We are usually wide awake, hyper and have a lot of fun ." With 32 members, drill squad practiced five days a week each morning at 6:45 a.m . Practices were for drill squad performances at pep rallies, home football games, two volleyball games, and home basketball games. To be on drill squad you had to be dedicated," stated Smekal, "It's not just to wear a uniform." Although practices are early in the morning and drill squad takes up a lot of time "It's worth it," said Weiland. "It gives you a chance to get involved in school activities and spirit.''

Woodwinds, brass, percussions and strings make up the school orchestra, which is the size of a full symphonic orchestra. Approximately 45 students meet four mods a week to practice pieces for upcoming concerts. "November is our first formal concert," said Mr. Harold Welch, orchestra instructor. In December they accompany the choir in their "Messiah" performance. January is the annual oil-day clinic and evening concert. This year's guest conductor was Mr. Bruce Hangen, the new Omaha symphony

conductor. "In March we are the music for the school musical, "Man of laMancha,"' said Welch. April usually brings the District Music Contest for Class "A" schools. And in May, there is an honors concert. "We recognize all of the graduating seniors for any honors they have received," said Welch. The turnout at concerts is often a problem. "Musically they do very well, although the attendance is not good like many other art functions. People are too busy with other activities or are just too lazy to come," said

Welch. "I wish there was more of a turnout at the concerts," replied Mona McGee, sophomore and first violinist. Some of the more interesting activities the orchestra has participated in are: performing at the state music clinic, by invitation; and being guest performers at out of town musicals. "Comparing this year to others, we have one of the best string groups ever." said Welch. "I've really enjoyed orchestra, and it's given me a good musical background," said Tina Spong. t

It is a performance-oriented group that plays "big band jazz music," said Mr. Roger Groth, band director. Students must audition to be a part of CJB, and "display a certain level of ability and knowledge," said Groth. "We work well togeth-

er as a band and everyone cooperates." said Mike Ellison. junior. Saturday. January 26 was the beginning of their festival season . They attended four, including the Bellevue East Jazz Festival. Although it is extra work some students don't view it that way. "CJB is a hobby so it doesn't seem like hard work . I'd feel I'd be giving up something if I wasn't in CJB," said Ellison . Rehearsals are called at 7 a .m. "To get up that early I consider them extremely hard working and loy-

al." said Groth. After the festival season. CJB traditionally takes a trip. In past years they have gone to such places as Worlds of Fun. "In general I would describe CJB as ex perienced. It's almost the same band as last year so we've had a chance to work together. It also cuts down on the nervousness," said Ellison.

The all-male club has found problems with the people who join the club, but then don't remain active. "Originally we had about 60 guys sign up but now we only have about 20 active mem-

bers," said Padgett. The club has a fun aspect as well. When recruiting members in September they used the theme "Merry Christmas" including Christmas decorations and music to gain attention.

OCAL LEADERSHIP CHANGE Administration issues new proposal

Changes. They are always there, affecting lifestyles in one way or another. There are continuous changes even in education. District 66 encountered crucial changes in administration and the plans for the district's future. The primary change was that of the roles of leadership. Dr. Kenneth Hansen took on the role of superintendent for the district in January of 1984. For Hansen, his job entailed challenging goals to succeed at, and to improve. "I have found my new position even more of a challenge than I had expected it ever to be," replied Hansen. "I'm glad for that, though. The challenge of running the district makes the job exciting and more worthwhile when I succeed." Other changes occurred at home base: Westside High School. The leadership in the principal's office was turned over to Dr. James Findley. Along with Findley as principal

came, Mrs. Sharon Krueger, newly appointed assistant principal. Findley advanced from his position of vice principal to principal. He had experience with the activities involved in leading a high school from serving as vice principal. "By working so closely with Dr. James Tangdall through the years I had a pretty good feel of what being principal would be like," said Findley. "I feel I was prepared, but still had room to learn." Krueger, along with taking on Findley's former position of assistant principal this year, also serves as assistant superintendent of District 66. Krueger feels she can enjoy as well as handle her new positions. "It's hard to really know what to do first when there seems to be so much to accomplish," stated Krueger. "To understand my job better, I listen in on classes to get a better background of what's happening."

The main goals in the minds of these administrative heads seems to be the new strategic planning project that has come into effect. This plan includes a broad planning process. "We are trying to improve in 13 areas of education that we feel are very important," Hansen said. "Probably our most important goal is to improve our student's curricular and communication skills. We are also trying to improve in such areas as critical thinking skills, getting community support, oral and reading skills, marketing programs, and analysis Is of school programs." t One of Dr. Findley's many responsibilities is to

oversee new developments at Westside. Mr. Roger Groth shows Findley this year's new band uniforms modeled by Mark Rosenblum. "Anything men can do, women can do better" is an old adage that Mrs. Sharon Kruger proves as she takes over as assistant principal.

REALLY LIKE THIS PLAC Main reason for 30 years of devotion to 66 Some say that history has been lost to boredom and the bookshelves. But then there are 30 years of walking history to disprove any such theory . Thirty years have seen four principals, hundreds of dress codes and a thousand more faces to remember. On August 22. the first day of school, Mrs. Alice Gillogly marked her thirtieth year as an employee of Westside and later the district. Alice on this same day marked her 75th birthday. "I ran into the high school's first secretary, Marian Sipherd downtown and she asked me to come in to the office to do a little odd hour working . Well, I don't know whether or not she'd gotten sick of me or not, but she was gone for three weeks!," Gillogly explained Now her title is community relations coordinator, and there is hardly a one that she will forget . Yet she is puzzled by her exact job. She leans forward and grabs a handful of "dilly dallys." "Yes, I suppose that's exactly what my job is, I like to meet people. I am very fortunate to know as many as I do. Wow, these are salty dill things. I like things salty, it's kind of how I am," Gillogly said

"I like to stand out in the halls every once in a while and just talk to, or to introduce myself to some student that I don't know . A lot of them don't answer me, so I go to the next one . Maybe I don't have enough sense to know, but I keep talking," she said . Alice is also active in the Westside Alumni Association where she attends meetings and banquets. She enjoys this aspect of the district as well. "I love being able to remember a student from ten years ago and call them by name," she leans forward again and whispers, "So far I don't believe any of them are in jail." Gillogly's memory of Westside history and faces has impressed many. Dr. James Findley principal, remembers the time he was briefly introduced to Alice, six months later he came in, and Alice immediately called him by name. "Well hello Jim Findley, she said it so fast . She really is phenomenal with names," Findley said . Alice again leans forward and throws the rest of the snack in the bowl, "If I eat any more of these I'll throw up, anyway, I like this place, I wouldn't have stayed otherwise "

At It again. Mrs. Alice Gillogly, community relations, fullfills her job in more ways than one. 24 hours a day; .-neeting as many people as possibl~ .

REEDOM, FUN INCREASE So does responsibility when students turn 18

Deciding where to go to college. registering for the draft, becoming an adult, and becoming qualified to vote are all part of turning 18. One of the biggest changes that occurs when a student turns 18 is 路'The feeling of more freedom from your parents. along with it being your senior year," Guy Gray, senior. said . Gaining responsibility is also a feeling obtained when it becomes the 18th year for somebody . Greg Ariza says, " Now you're almost on your own . I have to decide what school I want to go to. how to pay for it , and make the decision about what I'm going to do for the rest of my life, and juggle school at the same time ." He said, " My life is in my own hands. My parents trust my judgment. The only person I have to answer to is myself." The feeling of adulthood is often times present with the blowing out of 18 candles . " I felt implications of being older. It's the last year at my parent's house," Tippi Magid , senior. said . " No more Visa-grabbing and soap opera watching . My free ride is over." Being qualified to vote is one privi-

EENAGERS TURN TO ROC For fashion ideas that become instant hits

For many years movie stars were the role models for teenagers. But now teenagers live and look like someone else - rock stars. "The rock stars give off a few ideas and a few people dress like that, and 路 soon some fashion maker has capitalized on the style and everybody wants to wear it," Dena Jennum, senior, said . But why the sudden desire to look like rock stars? Now, more than ever, students are showing an awareness to music and the artists who make it. Teenagers fall in love with the life styles of these stars. Lee Allum, sophomore, agreed, stating, "Rock stars have so much influence because of their flamboyant image, of course." Rock stars are nP.t the only musicians with prestige. According to Mike Krupinsky, sophomore, "Punk groups like the "Sex Pistols" and "The Clash" have a more radical influence." When stars have the most influence? Jennum summed them up into five

-----

groups, "I think that Billy Idol, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Quiet Riot, and Motley Crue are most copied ." The other obvious ones are Duran Duran, Cyndi Lauper, and the Thompson Twins.

UROPEAN STUDIES, TRAVE Proves to be great experience for a few seniors

Most don't know that London's Heathrow Airport is the largest international airport in the world, serving more countries than any other. Many seniors, however, learned this bit of trivia on their excursions across the Atlancic Ocean last summer. "I traveled 11 countries in two months," said senior Cris Fishback . Starting in Paris, he spent the first week alone, then he met a friend and the two of them traveled the South of France, Italy, and Monaco for three weeks ." " My favorite part of the whole trip was Salzburg, Austria because of the natural beauty of the city ." Fishback said that he plans to return to Europe this summer to visit some of the Eastern-Bloc nations. The most popular way to travel abroad is through a student tour group. Joanna Simon went with Musiker Tours. " We started in Greece and ended up in England," Simon said . Some of the highlights of her trip were viewing the Acropolis and

Parthenon in Athens, skiing in the Swiss Alps, and seeing the many windmills of Amsterdam Another group that was chosen by a student to travel with was ALSG (American Leadership Study Groups). Craig Klaasmeyer traveled on this tour for five weeks. " It was a fabulous experience," Klaasmeyer said . The trip began in London, then went on to six other countries. "The best part of the whole trip was Switzerland . It was such a change of pace," Klaasmeyer said . Although the trip was filled with exciting and historic countries, Klaasmeyer said that there are certain cities which he does not wish to return to . " Venice was such a dirty city, people just throw their trash out the windows." All three seniors expressed a strong interest in returning to Europe some day. t Europe Is an attraction to many. Senior Cris Fishback enjoys the sites of Salzburg . Austria with a friend .

SING FAKE IDENTIFICATIO Is easily attainable and readily questioned

Alcohol consumption . It's one of the most widespread activities that occurs in the lives of teenagers today. How do minors purchase alcohol? "We see minors every day bring in false identifications that are clearly fake" explained Ms. Debbie Barr. employee at Walgreens Liquor store . "I even had one in here tonight." On the other hand. Fred's Wines and Spirits claims to have few, if any minors attempting to purchase al-

cohol. "We rarely find that minors come into our store," replied one employee from "Freds." "On the average there are probably as few as only one or two minors per week who attempt to use false identifications." "Some fake identifications used by minors are so genuine looking, that it is difficult to deny that the minor is of age," said Barr. As a rule. Fred's Wines and Spirits cards any person looking 25 years or younger.

Fake identifications are a dime a dozen. One senior said. "I got mine by sending in through an advertisement in a magazine. There are always different ads in magazines for identifications." Another senior who also sent away for a fake identification replied" I had the whole thing prepared ----fake name. fake address. and of course, fake birthdate. I received an identification with the words 'not a government document' engraved across the front. That was a waste of $10." Minors often get false identifications by covering the date on their birth certificates, typing a false birthdate in. and then recopying it to make the certificate an official looking identification. Then the daring move comes into play. The minor may take his driver test over again, using his fake birth certificate as I.D. and receive an official Nebraska driver license. Barr at Walgreen's liquors concluded "It's too bad that teenagers can't find better things to do than drink."

Double Check Kwik-Pik's reputation as one of the toughest places to buy alcohol proves true as Joel Lane tries his luck with his I.D.

ONSTANT PROCRASTINATIO Thoughts differ between students and teachers

"Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today ." This, like most other sayings, is easier said than done. Sometime. throughout the three years of high school. most students find themselves puting off their homework assignments until the last minute. In other words, procrastinating. Although procrastination does not bother some students. others feel guilty when they wait to do an assignment. " A couple of times I thought about not even doing the work. but I felt too guilty. When I finally got it done at the last minute I still felt bad . Knowing that if I would have started earlier. it could have been better." said Kelly Skinner. senior. Guilt is not the only factor in procrastinating. Student's grades can be affected even if they don't realize it. " I don't think it shows in the quality because when I put it off and stay up until three. I make sure I do a good job." said Jenny Hart. senior. Dave Militi also agreed. " Just beVogue makes a convenient excuse for delaying the agony. Seniors. Julie Roffman and Susan Gratton put off homework until a la ter time .

MPLOYMENT MEANS CHOSE As way for seniors to earn money for weekends

Money proves to be the main factor in holding a job. "I needed money for Christmas, my instruments and dates," commented senior, Mike Farhart on his reasoning for getting a job. Experience and responsibility are other major reasons students hold jobs, according to senior Greg Ariza. For some students the devotion of a job along with school work becomes too much responsibility. "I had to quit my job because I couldn't find enough time for my homework," said senior Andy Erixon . A job even causes some students to forget about those responsibilities of school. "Most of my students use their jobs as an excuse to get out of anything," Mr. Richard Bock, English instructor said . With schoolwork , a job, and in some cases an extra-activity this places a student in a stressful situation with too much responsibility路, this is why Westside

has designed a program so students can g~t a job pertaining to their future career. For business work, Marketing Distributive Education is offered and for secretarial work, Office Occupations is presented . Health Occupations is scheduled for those students interested in medical work .

Senior students seem to like that extra weight of responsibility placed upon them . 65 percent of the students are presently holding jobs and few intend to quit .

Extra spending money is essential to most students. Steph Lough searches through the want ads for a job that will give her some extra cash .

In driver's education, as Stribley explained, it would be tempting to take someone else's past paper, maybe an older brother or sister's, and just put their name across the top . With almost the same assignments each year, students have been known to do this . In the future, students should be cautious in using this procedure. Stribley has gone back to past papers and checked for similarities. Looking on someone else's paper during a test is another common way to cheat . "I usually space my students far enough apart so they need binoculars to read another paper," Stribley said . In cases such as driver's education, cheating is not worth the final consequences .

p OOR AUDITORIUM FACILITIES One reason fo r lack of concerts booked in Omaha Let's face it . Omaha is not the concert capital of the USA. Oh we get our share of country western performers, Ak-sar-ben makes sure of that, but when it comes to ska, new wave, punk or plain old rock and roll, many groups seem to shy away from the Omaha scene . Why? "I think most bands tend to think we're a bunch of farm kids, you know straight out of the cornfields or something," said Kelsi Bonn, junior. One of the major reasons that turns the groups away from Omaha is the poor facilities. The Civic Auditorium holds a mere 11 ,300 as opposed to bigger auditoriums in Kansas City, Lincoln, Denver, and Chicago. Other concert cities such as the

Orpheum and Rosenblatt Stadium do not hold much appeal when up against those other newer recreational complexes of the midwest. Propositions for such a facility for Omaha are in the making, but until then, many students don't mind taking a road trip to see their favorite band. "The Best concert I ever saw was at the Starlight Outdoor Amphitheater in Kansas City . It was Eurythmics concert and Howard Jones opened up. The crowd was quite small and it started to rain halfway through it. No one cared though, they were all having such a great time . The performers were so into what they were doing and they

acted as if they were playing to four or five people . It was great," said Anna Donaldson, sophomore. "My friends and I go to concerts in Kansas City a lot. I don't mind having to go that far for a concert. It's worth it." Lincoln seems to get a lot of bands, most likely due to the University of Nebraska at Lincoln . University tours such as Lincoln are a gold mine for rock bands because of the targeted age group," commented Steve Brown, former concert promoter. "The recent addition of the Devaney Sports Complex is also a main attraction for groups. The revolving stage makes it an ideal concert cite ." Bars provide a good concert atmosphere for those who are daring enough to try to get in. The Howard Street Tavern was host to bands such as Joe "King" Carrasco . The Suburb's, a band out of Minneapolis, appeared at the 20's and at the Ranch Bowl. Bruce Springsteen played at the UNL Sports Complex with students camping out for days in order to get tickets . For the most part, it was the UNL students who got the tickets. "My brother goes to Lincoln so he was able to get tickets for me . I was lucky, the concert was great," said Kathy Boyce, senior. General Public played at the Student Union on campus for a small, but enthusiastic crowd . "The concert was really laid back . Everyone looked like they were having a lot of fun," said one student who attended. For the bands that do make it to Omaha, the profit is usually worth the trip . The Clash and The Fixx both played at the Music Hall to goodsized crowds, as did many other groups.

LACK OF 'LIGHT' INVOLVEMENT One possible reason for diminishing candle sales Has the flame died? The junior class selling candles to raise money for prom fell short of the goal which they set out to accomplish . Mr. Ronald Huston, Mr. Bob Dornacker, and Mrs. Janet Koski, sponsors of the junior class said that the main reason for the low, unsuccessful fund raiser was because of the especially low participation. The turn out for the past years has been 80 to 85 students in each class selling candles as compared to the 60 to 65 sold by this junior class. "I think that the junior class are underachievers, I sold my five, so why couldn't everyone else," said Joel Carnazzo, junior. "I find it really hard to believe that some of the students could sell 30 of them while others couldn't even sell one. Obviously•they didn't try too hard," said Joe Fulcher, junior. Responsibility. That seemed to play a big part in the low turnout for the candle sales. It is the responsibility of the junior class to raise the

money for prom . It shouldn't just be · put on 60 to 65 people out of 400 in one class," said Dornacker. Has the selling of candles as the biggest fun raiser died out? For many, the answer is yes. Candles just aren't a good idea," said Tracy Tondl, junior. "I think that they should sell something that would appeal to more people around school. Or maybe we should have a raffle, then peopie would want to get involved," said Fulcher, "At Prep we had a walk-a-thon to raise money and everyone got involved plus it was a lot of fun ." "We should sell something like candy bars, that we could sell at school that students would buy," said Sarah Brune, junior. Some other reasons why the students feel that they fell short of the goal was that "Not enough time was given"' or "They forgot to turn their forms in." "I think that if everyone who sold

candles would have turned their forms in then the turnout would have been exactly where it should have been," said Katie deNourie, junior class president . In the earlier years a variety of fund raisers were used to raise the money, but nothing in past history has raised the money that the candie sales did. "The money raised by this junior class was about $1,000 short of the goal which they set out to get," said Huston . Could the problem have been in the low participation, the lack of responsibility of some, or maybe is a ·· change just needed? · The flame seems to be growing dimmer and dimmer.

Candles were sold by juniors to raise money for Junior-Senior Prom. Brian Gray attempts to sell candles to Jon Heater. Tim Winkler. and Curt Vincentini.

THEIR FATHERS' SHADOWS A concern for daughters of Findley, Tangdall

Imagine walking down the hallway, in a rambuncious mood, turning the corner, and finding your father, the principal. Catherine Findley and Kris Tengdoll, juniors, are the daughters of Dr. James Findley, Principal, and Dr. James Tangdall, former principal and current Associate Superintendent. There are many apprehensions that Kris and Catherine have felt while being in such a position. "Most people don't look at me as the principal's daughter, but some are worried that everything they tell me will get back to my dad. Sometimes I get sick of people always thinking of me as the principal's daughter and not as Catherine," said Findley. Shane Hinkley, junior, commented, "As a matter of fact, I feel sometimes that Kris and Catherine have more pressure put on them because of who they are, and who their fathers are . I think they are put in a very awkward position and in no way are they given any special treatment, but rather a tougher go at whatever they try to do or accomplish ." " It wasn 't hard for me to treat Kris differently than any other student because I generally didn't have to deal directly with her. The school is so big, and set up in such a way, that a guidance counselor, an advisor, or dean would take care of a problem before I would become involved . It was probably more difficult and bothersome for Kris to have me as her principal than to have her as my student . Other people were probably always thinking she was treated more generously or sternly . I didn't have to counteract with such remarks, "

said Dr. Tangdall. Mr. Bill Nelson, social studies department chairman , explained about having had both Kris and Catherine in the same class, that he would not give the principal's daughter any extra special treatment. "Even if I did I wouldn't admit it, would any teacher?" My kids went to school here and it irritated me when teachers treated my kids differently, so I try not to ." "Most teachers don't treat me any differently than any other student. Some might expect more from me just because of who my

dad is," Tangdall said . "At school I am strictly just a student. Outside of school he's no longer my principal, he's just my father," Tangdall explained. "At school I just consider him a principal. He wouldn't make any exceptions for me. At school, he treats me as any other student . I call him Mr. Findley during school hours. It makes me feel like any other student. There's one thing for sure though, It's really nice to know he's here when I need him. Especially when I need lunch money, or there's a bug in my soup," Findley said . t

Dr. James Tangdall and Dr. Jim Findley are familiar names to most students. Kris Tangdall and Catherine Findley discuss their position with Mr. Bill Nelson.

COMMUTING FROM FREMON Causes problems for student in various activities Not many people live 40 minutes away from Omaha and still go to school there every day. This is the case of Amy Koerber, junior, who lives in Fremont. Although she doesn't actually

commute each day, she does return home every weekend . On the weekdays she "stays with family friends or school friends ," said Koerber. " My parents don't want me to drive home in the dark ."

She could avoid driving in th dark, however after school mor time is consumed by ballet . Koerb has danced with the Omaha Ball for seven years. " Ballet was th main reason for my staying in Om ha on the weekdays," explaine Koerber . " It's something that's i portant to me and I want to conti ue with it ." Added to her decision for stayin in Omaha during the week w French . " I'd taken French since se enth grade," stated Koerbel "French wasn't offered in Fremon and I wanted to keep on with it . general. Westside fit my needs be ter." With her time being so limitea finding time for friends does get ~ be difficult . " I wanted to continu school here because of my friends, said Koerber. " I don't have muc time for friends, but when they wa to go out, it's arranged so I can sta[ in Omaha." Even with all the complicatio her friends are understanding.

PREPARATIO

Available to students attending in or out of state

Various factors affect students' futures. College planning is an important factor. "Plan. plan. plan, and look ahead," said Mr. Lynn Hansen, college counselor. Not all juniors are aware of the factors. There are resources made available to the students. One such resource is the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test taken in October. Two hundred and seventy-one students took the test. "It enables the school to prepare the curriculum for the senior year dnd helps to find colleges that the student can fit into," said Hansen, "It's really an important factor." Students find that it alerts them to what's ahead . "I didn't do so well. and I can see a lot of work ahead of me," said Andrea Joffe. junior. Two other tesis taken were the Scholastic Aptitude Test and the American College Test. They were offered at the end of the junior year. There were planning preparation courses for the tests as well as a general two-part planning session for college in February. Juniors feel a little uneasy about college. "I have a long way to go

and I keep changing my mind," said Bill Allen. junior. Even with a lack of knowledge. a lot of students go to college . "Eighty percent of the students go from Westside compared with 39 to 40 percent for most schools . Onehalf of the students go out of state. "I definitely want to go out of state. I want to get away from home and the midwest," said Allen. "The half that don't leave divide between the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the University of Nebraska at Lincoln pretty evenly," said Hansen, "A few also go to Creighton. Wesleyan, and other small Nebraska schools ." Kay Calvert. junior. said. "I want to go outof-state. but will probably end up going to UNO." "The reasons we do well is because of a good faculty and parental support," said Hansen. Another possibility is the Army. "I've been talking with recruiters about getting money for college," said Dave Rosno, junior. Most students have no idea how long it takes to prepare for college . "I don't know what's involved in ap-

plying for college," said Tim Winkler. junior. "The range of time spent for preparation is as wide as the schools kids pick," said Hansen. "You should spend at least 10 to 15 hours." Ways to prepare are reading handbooks and guidebooks available in the Guidance Center. talking to one of the 100 college representatives that made an appearance, and visiting colleges. Hansen's role is large. "I hold a one-third counselor load so I have more time for all students." Hansen worked with parents, held conferences over the summer, and was available to talk with all students. College preparation ranges from filling out an application in the Guidance Center to visiting a far -away college. Planning is important, "It, planning, is one key to success." said Hansen. Juniors can take advantage of the resources available to prepare their path to college .

LASSROOMS NOW BECOMIN Combination of sophomores and juniors together

Juniors came to school in August content with the thought that they were no longer " dumb sophomores." There were students who weren 't experienced with high school life yet and they would be the new sophomores. But when the juniors walked into their classrooms they were confronted with a new thought : sophomores in junior classes. Students are taking more classes in junior high that enable them to be placed in higher level classes at Westside . Danielle Wagner. sophomore. said, " I have taken all the required classes in math. so this year I took advanced algebra ." Ad vanced algebra. normally consisting of a majority of juniors. was almost half sophomores this year. But mathematics was not the only subject with sophomores . Beginning Accounting, with a prerequisite of being preferably a junior or senior. was populated with a handful of sophomores. A more dramatic change occurred in physics. According to the instructors at the beginning of the year. somewhere near 70 to 80 percent of the junior class and onefourth of the sophomore class took physics. Physics has always been a popular class, but always for upper classmen . Lee Allum. sophomore. took physics and advanced algebra concurrently, like most of the sophomores . The prerequisite for physics is advanced algebra. Algebra II. or topics in math, which can be taken concurrently as Allum did. "Students are becoming better educated and more intelligent at earlier ages," commented Karen Mount. junior. " So higher advanced

classes are in demand from students in high school. but mainly sophomores." Advanced algebra. physics. and accounting are not only classes for juniors. Students are becoming aware of this and the fact that the number of sophomores taking classes with juniors is increasing. Most juniors are ready to accept that not all of their classes will be with their grade level only . But are sophomores ready to handle being

in classes with older students? This question remains unanswered. but the answer is apparent. If the students are ready for a subject intellectually. then they are ready emotionally. Allum commented on this and supplied the main reason why sophomores sign up for junior classes. " We're just smart. and also we've already had all the other classes."

EELINGS OF GREAT ANXIET

F And fear are common among sophomores on day one Y Racing down the hall, eyes glued to his map, a nervous sophomore tries to locate his classroom . Obviously not looking where he's going, he suddenly crashes into that dreaded senior linebacker. While nervously gathering his books from the ground, he smiles meekly and says, " Could you please tell me where I can get an elevator pass?" Typical sophomore . That first day of high school that everyone looks forward to, or not so forward to finally arrived, and although they hate to admit it, it was inevitable. Students knew who the sophomores were. This first day for sophomores brought fears along with excitement for just about everyone . Meeting new faces along with a different atmosphere wasn 't enough to overcome the undying fears. The sophomores'~biggest fear was getting lost. "I was afraid I'd walk into a classroom with a bunch of senior guys," said Jenny Walenz, sopho-

more. Ms. Sharon Bjornsen, counselor felt that this fear has lessened in the past few years. " We encourage the sophomores to come up during the summer with friends to get to know their way around." Although touring the school previously may have helped a little, seeing the halls filled with upperclassmen, sophomores easily lost their sense of direction . Other major fears dealt with lots of homework, and a fear of upperclassmen. "I was afraid I'd have so much homework that I'd never be able to leave my room," said David Young, sophomore . Lynn Goldner, sophomore, said, "I was afraid to go in to the Social Studies IMC. " Missy Kozak agreed with Goldner that she was intimidated by upperclassmen since they "knew the system more." Although a small percentage of the sophomores claimed to be "fearless," the vast majority weren't afraid to admit to their phobias . Side by side with the feelings of

anxiety and fear, came the feelings of excitement and anticipation. Tammy Morford, sophomore, found herself looking forward to meeting new people . Goldner decided that modular scheduling was what she liked best about being a sophomore. Tina Duff, sophomore, agreed with Goldner, but added that it 's also a big responsibility. " It's hard to make yourself work during open mods," Duff said . Both Duff and Goldner agreed that being a sophomore isn't as bad as they'd anticipated, although the first week was a little rough . As a suggestion to ninth graders, coming up to Westside, Goldner advised one thing. " Don't be scared, it's a lot of fun after you know what you 're doing."

The first day of school presents a problem for most sophomores as Chris Wilczewski asks directions from upperclassmen who aren't quire sure themselves.

OPHOMORE NOW DISCOVER Three year jump both advantage, disadvantage

Imagine not being old enough to drive until you're in college. Sophomore Armond Hatzidakis knows the feeling . "I'll be 15 when I graduate from high schooL" he said . Twelve-year-old Hatzidakis skipped fifth grade and after attending sixth grade at Loveland, took the entrance exam at Creighton Prep. Because he received an extraordinarily high score, Hatzidakis was able to skip grades seven and eight. "I didn't prepare for the entrance exam at all. I just got a high grade so they suggested I move up. My parents have been very supportive and urged me to skip the grades."

After ninth grade at Prep, Hatzidakis chose Westside for his remaining three years of high school. "I took Geometry in summer school so I could take Advanced Algebra this year" he said . In addition to Honors Advanced Algebra Hatzidakis is taking : biology, German 1. Spanish 2, physical education, Literary Masterpieces, and physics. "I spend an average of six hours a week on homework, but some nights I do a lot of homework and some nights I don't do any." "In my free time I like participating in and watching sports. I like playing soccer and tennis and enjoy watching football." Hatzidakis also enjoys

listening to music. "The Police and Van Holen are two of my favorite groups." Hatzidakis explained that there is both a good and a bad side to being three years ahead. "I get picked on sometimes because I'm small and because my voice is different." "People think I'm some kind of super brain and that's not really true, I just work hard for my grades." "I also don't want people to feel uncomfortable around me because I'm younger or have them think that I feel I'm better than they are. Age shouldn't have that kind of an effect on people." "I don't really think it matters that much that he's three years younger than me" said friend Tarek Salem who met Hatzidakis in summer school. "Some people might feel inferior to him, but I think because he acts like everyone else you don't realize he's only 12," said Chris Baker, junior, who has physics lab with Hatzidakis. "Another bad thing is the fact that I won't be old enough to get my driver's license until I'm a sophomore in college," said Hatzidakis. "There are some positive things too. I'd like to be a doctor and with three less years of -ichool I have a head start and I won't be as old when I get done with all it takes to become one," he added. In addition of his friends at Westside, "I still do things with my friends who are in seventh grade," said Hatzidakis. "If I had the opportunity to do it all over again I would still choose to skip the grades and get ahead," Hatzidakis concluded.

Although only 13, Armon Hotzidokls enjoys homeroom at Westside as a sophomore. along with friends two to four years older than himself.

ONGER HOURS, STRENGT Rules for achievement by synchronized swimmer

Work and more work . Hours turn into weeks and into years of synchronized swimming for Lara Wilson . "I practice about eight hours a week," said Wilson. Practice involves working on strokes and technique. There are 21 basic positions and 147 figures. They are all found in rule books. Routines or hybrids are a combination of positions and figures. Lara works with Mrs. Scarlett Wilson, her mother, to design routines. They make up their own as well as borrow ideas from the Olympic~ and time trials . Strength is needed to execute the various routines. " I get my strength from speed swimming," said Wilson. Wilson performs the 100 meter backstroke for the swim team . "Having taken dance also allows me to perform well," said Wilson. • Practice pays off at the meets. "Meets are usually on weekends and last from early in the morning to eight or nine at night," said Wilson . There are four events: trio, duet, solo, and team synchronized swimming. At the Senior and Junior Association meets, Wilson has placed first in all four events . She qualified at the Midwestern Association meet to go to the Sectional meet in Denver. There she placed second in solo, duet, and trio swimming which qualified her to go to Buffalo, NY., for the national meet. In national competition she placed 13th out of 27 in her age group for solo. At the regional meet in Milwaukee, Wilson placed first allowing her to be the only one from her region to go to the National Junior Olympics in Jacksonville, FL. There are 11 or 12 meets a season. The season lasts from January until August. "It doesn't affect school too

much, the homework just has to wait," Wilson said . Wilson has been performing synchronized swimming for seven years. She performed speed swimming starting when she was five. When she was eight, a lid bill passed through the Omaha Public Schools cutting the swimming program she was in . She began working on syn-

chronized swimming at Creighton University. Wilson said, "I wanted to stay in the water." Wilson's goals include being a choreographer in college . " I've thought about the Olympics, but I , really haven't made a decision," said Wilson . Mrs. Wilson said, "The Olympics would be nice ."

Practice makes pertect. Lara Wilson spends many long hours in the pool practicing her synchronized swimming techniques.

UTURE CHANGES PLANNED Bring mixed reactions between students, teachers

While sophomores are complaining and suggesting that physical education be required only through junior high, teachers are working to change the requirement to through twelfth grade. rather than just through tenth . Although there are no definite plans to change the required number of years of physical education, Mr. Lou Miloni, instructor, felt that there are possibilities for expanding the program . "A strong mind and body makes kids perform better in testing and in everyday life," said Miloni, adding that it's hard to maintain this after only one year. Mr. Doug Krecklow, instructor. agreed with Miloni, "If we don't think it's important enough to have class through twelfth grade, then how do we develop the idea for them to be active when they're adults?" Students disagreed with their teachers, feeling that they are old enough to make their own decisions. Suzanne Hillyard. sophomore, said, "If a person wants to be physically fit. they're going to do it on their own . They can't be forced ." Sophomore Rich Erixon agreed with Hillyard saying, "Once you get into high school you should be able to have enough self motivation to keep yourself in shape. Although the sophomores felt strongly about only having physical education through junior high, there were some unique aspects of sophomore physical education that they felt were beneficial. one being swimming . Brian Sattem thought that it's good that swimming is required since "everyone should know how to swim for safety precautions." Krecklow, who defined swimEvery gym class begins with routine calisthenics. Mr. Martinez observes the class to make sure they do them right.

ming as an "unwritten graduation requirement," said, "If we don't require swimming, why have a pool? It would be a waste of space ." Another aspect that sophomores described as beneficial were the large groups, otherwise known as "Health." Hillyard felt that even though the material is not new. it's still a good class . "It's a lot like eighth grade health class. but it's the kind of information where it doesn't hurt to be reminded . Krecklow said the program is good although it's lacking in some

areas. "Large group is all right for presenting materials. but we lack opportunities for time to discuss." He added that the teachers have to make the assumption that students will come in and talk to them . Debates between students and faculty could have gone on forever. and of course. the administrations will have the job of determining who is right . If the physical education requirements are in fact extended it would be fairly easy to determine student's reactions .

It was a rollercoaster season . The extreme ups and downs of the score board and emotions varied as widely as the games themselves. Tradition was broken as far as scores go, with a 4 win, 5 loss record. For the first time in 14 years, the team had not broken ... 500. Disappointment was apparent in the faces of football players both on the field and off, in the tight game against Prep. The game "Once people knew we weren't going (to state), the games didn't mean as much." - David Mlllttl

ended in the last seconds with a Prep touchdown. "Even though we lost to Prep, it was my personal best as far as playing goes. It was a big disappointment, but it was close," Bo Hardy, senior said. If tradition appeared broke up on the score board, it remained constant in the stands and the spirit of the fans and players. "Really even though it was fun to cheer for a winning team last year, it was even more fun to cheer for my own class because I know them and what they are going through," Shelly Smekai-Hinkle, senior drill squad mem-

ber said. If the spirit remained consistent and the efforts constant, what happened to the scoreboard tradition? "I think we choked in our games," Joe Undwall, senior, said. Going to state has also been a tradition that was not accomplished. "The main goal was to go to state. Once people knew we weren't going, the games didn't mean as much," David Militti, senior, said. t

Opponents find It hard to escape from the swarming Warrior defense. Soon they find themselves cornered in and only await the tackle.

tretching and running begin most of the varsity football prac-

tices. After the running, the team works on running plays together, and working on the weak points they need to improve on for their next game. A good attitude is needed by each player for the team to be successful. Dave Hinsley, senior, said, "Overall, we're a good team." This year, the team uses practices to work on togetherness. Working together is an important part of playing the game. "Our defense is excellent," Hinsley said. "It's No. 4, in the state." At the beginning of the season, Steve Boe said, "If we really come together, we'll be a good team ." The team might not have had the kind of season they wanted, but no one can have the kind of togetherness this team demonstrated. In the games that were played, even though some were 路lost, the Warriors showed their best. As Hinsley put it, "Because of Lady Luck, things didn't go our way ."

Concentration plays a key role in a coaches job. Mr. Roger Herring. head coach. watches every play with great intensity.

No Luck Defense ranks fourth; unity important factor

Injuries are simply part of the game. After time on the field , Mike Piper, junior, finds himself sidelined with a twisted ankle .

Points are scored and changes take place . Steve Clark, quarterback, happily foresakes the field to the defenders following a touchdown . Seven points just is not enough. A handoff to Bubba Hokanson, senior. brings the Warriors ten yards closer to another touchdown.

Knowledge of the plays is crucial for all players. Steve Clark, quarterback, calls the count signalling the play.

In pensive thought, Dempsie Kortus. junior. concentrates on the game as he waits for the coach to call his name. Practice really pays ott as Rich McGill shows his ability to catch a pass and gain the needed yardage.

Opposites JV posts 6-1 record; Sophomores go winless "Junior varsity takes a lot of preparation and work. There's no luck In doing

Fun, hard, work, and suc-

c e s s

could be found on the junior varsity football team. It started in the summer and lasted through practices, 7 wins and 1 loss.

Preparation for the year began in the summer. Mr. Don Gilpin, coach, said, "Starts began in the summer working on running, ability, and fundamentals." Once the season starts the JV team starts working against each individual team. "We watch films and look at scouting reports of the varsity teams because the JV team usually runs the same

plays," said Gilpin. The team enjoyed practice. "This team was unique. they enjoyed being out there (at practice)." said Gilpin. "Along with hard work, there was a lot of jacking around." said Jason Wills. sophomore. "Fisher and I got in mud fights about every day." Part of the fun was the coaches. "We get along great with the coaches." said Wills. "that's what really made us good." Pat Doering, agreed. Jim Rapczyinski. junior. said, "Gilpin tells great jokes." Gilpin spent about half an hour a day designing practice plans. "After nine years. they are second nature," said Gilpin. Gilpin likes his team's

practice. "They would harder practice on own," said Gilpin. There were differing similar opinions on the and worst events of season. Gilpin said, ' always great to b Rapczyinski said, "The lard North game was fun cause we came from ~ hind in the last quarte They came from one pq down to beat them 14 "The best thing is we bE Prep and Millard North t cause they're cocky c conceited," said Doerin Contrary to the JV s son. the sophomore te had an upsetting 0-6 cord.

Kristi Bateman, senior, said, "For the Lincoln High game. we worked on defense on the weak side." Leslie Kull, junior, said, "We do a lot of things what we

The girls came from all three junior high school to make up a team that "cooperated well" . according to their coach Ms. Ann Royle . "The girls worked well and did a better job of trying to eliminate sectioning off into groups," she said . There were numerous goals involved in the team's success;

the first of importance being skill development and the second being team development. according to their coach. "We wanted a faster offense. the same as the varsity." Royle said. With a 12 win and 3 loss season. the girls played their best games at the start of the season. "The defeats that we shouldn't have had came at the end of the season. " Royle explained. Skill became a major emphasis for the team. In order to learn the game. play competitive and prepare for their game. the team watched college and Olympic games to enhance their knowledge of nation and world-wide skill. There was a good feeling about the junior varsity team . Winning the Bel-

levue Tournament was just another effort to enhance that feeling . As in any season. there were some heartaches. " We lost to Millard South in the first round of the Western Invitational. but then again we beat some varsity teams quite handily. That was exciting. " Royle said. The coach assured that they didn't have to worry about their losses. "We felt good about the team and playing well; the end result was team effort." Royle explained.

Complete follow through is necessary to allow Terri Myers, junior, to return the ball over the net in order to defeat the opposing team .

teams at the Norfolk Invitational. while at Metro they finished fifth out of 18. "The girls really worked hard at doing well," said McCormick . "We showed we had improved at district." said Lynn Goldner. sophomore. The golf team placed third at district losing to Marian and Burke. There were 32 teams that Westside placed ahead of. After district, the golf team moved on to state. "It was the first time I had ever gone," said Chris Luby, senior, "We were disappointed that we only received twelfth ." McCormick added. "Considering the competition we faced, we did very well all through the season. district and state." There was also personal success. "At the beginning of the year I was fourth on

the team. By the end of the year I was the second highest scorer." said Luby. Meier was in the top ten of the district and received a medal at the Westside Invitational. "This is the best I've done out of my four years, " said Meier. The team was most compatible. "I really got along great with Chris," said Goldner, "I got along with the whole team actually," Luby said, "McCormick really brought us together." One habit of the team was eating. McCormick said, "We eat better than we play." Luby said, "We inhaled the candy that the cheerleaders gave us." The team stopped to eat before games and practices.

Participation in non-school sports is being taken up by students . They do it for excitement and thrill.

Two popular non-school sports are racquetball and skiing . " I like racquetball because it's fast moving," said Jim Comerford, junior. Skiing has gained popularity with students. Diana Womack , junior, said, "It's just fun to do. When you go skiing you get two things out of it. Plenty of exercise, and the chance to meet new people .

Some resorts are Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone , and Copper Mountain . Crescent Hills is convenient because of its location in Iowa. Racquetball has become another popular sport for students. Alone or or with a team, it's a great way to get in shape . Chris Young, sophomore, said, "It's really good exercise ." Mike Miller, junior, said, " I like the exercise and the one-on-one competition with another person ." One thing about nonschool sports is that students can do it whenever it's con venient . "I used to play after school ," said Tracie Farber, junior, " but it became too much with school so I had to switch to playing only on

"I started getting interested in racquetball when I joined the Alpha Fitness Center," said Miller: Other racquetball facilities are at Westroad 's Racquet Club and the new racquetball facilities at the 24hour Nautilus at 60th and L streets .

said Matt Hurley, senior. Three out of seven of the losses that the Warriors experienced were within five points against Millard North, Benson, and Prep. Westside's other losses were to Gross, Burke and Lincoln East. Many feel that the losses to Gross and Benson may, in part, have been due to the fact that Mike Bath, starting center, for two years was sick with the flu. " " We were supposed to beat Gross. but with Mike sick and other teammates not feeling very well, I guess we let it bother us and it

brought us down mentally," said Hurley. One of the most exciting moments of the season was the seventeen point win over Omaha North. " We were all psyched for that game. Everything we did came out right," said McGuire. Although Westside did not finish No. 1 in the regular season ratings, nor did they set or break any records, they at least gave the Warrior fans an exciting year to cheer about .. t

"I learned that you don't anticipate winning. Just play the game as well as you can and the outcome will take care of itself," said Coach Tom Hall. After being behind 4-10, Westside tied it up 12-12. By the end of the half, however, they had fallen behind 19-30. Westside went on to lose 49-56. Westside was not all bad. "We played well . They, (Mil-

Intense practices help set successful year Wifh t h e cards in their favor. s u ccess thrived on the junior varsity "Once we became team members, It became very hard to beat us." -Larry Morrissey

and sophomore boys basketball teams. said Mr. Larry Morrisey. Success started in the practices. "The practices were highly motivated and fun." said Morrissey. The sophomore team realized more success equals harder practice . "The higher the level you are on. the more intense the practices because

there is more at stake," said Mark Stegman, sophomore coach . The sophomores' practices aided them in their best game against Millard South. "We kept after them defensively." said Stegman. The score was 57-51 . "I think beating Millard South was a high point of the season." said John Atkinson, sophomore. The JV team began to shine in their third game. "They could relax after the first two losses and came back to win the third." said Morrissey . "That was a factor for success." The JV beat Bellvue East in their third game 63-12. "They continued to

Adamski said, "The team was not much different, but the difference. was the experience and the maturing. Working together gave them good experience, and knowing how each other played helped in this year's playing." Determination . Although they had some losses, the girls were determined to keep giving it their best shot. "This year's girls played harder than any other team I've coached . They never gave up, they always played like they still had a chance to win," Adamski said . "That really says something about them." Playing like a team is what made the varsity season a

"All we have to do now," said Koneck-Wilcox, "is work on the percentage of those

"This team has great potential for a super career at Westside," Koneck-Wilcox stated . "They performed well on JV and will be truly tested on varsity." Koneck-Wilcox said that he could put any of his players in a game at any time and still not lose any quality at all.

Mr . Lou Milani , head coach, when talking about the team, said, "We had an excellent team. We were as good as ever." Finishing first in the district tournament caused the wrestlers to motivate themselves for the state tournament. As their performance showed, they were motivated enough to display their

power. Mark Passer, junior, finished first in state . Commenting about Passer, Milani said, "Mark did outstanding. With 24-9, he had one heck of a year.'' Close duals had an important affect on wrestlers in the state tournament . Mike Bloch, senior, won his state dual by one point in the last 12 seconds . "Mike's always had the ability to perform well," said Milani about Bloch who placed sixth in state. Tim Fisher, junior, beat his last opponent in the last seven seconds of the dual . "Mike Kneeland, junior, wrestled super in the state tournament at Lincoln," said Milani, "All of the kids did really well."

Although the boys have not been able to fill in the open spaces left by the graduated swimmers it didn't seem to hurt their season . Even with the absence of freshman swimmers, success still lies wrapped around their finger tips. They have outscored all of their opponents by at least 60 points. Their last duel meet against Benson showed their true strength with a 108 point difference.

Not even a change was needed to improve the boys' swim team, "They haven't really changed, we started with a lot of versatility. However, the depth in our free style, which used to be our weak spot has improved," according to swimming Coach Doug Krecklow. Strenuous practices had prepared the boys for a triumphant seasonal record and a victorious win at the Husker Invitational. They also placed first at the Westside Invitational. According to sophomore swimmer Dan Ariza, "Westside's workouts are a lot more difficult than any other high schools." However, the boys are being worked harder this year because they hope to repeat the state title, according to senior swimmer, Guy Gray.

A show of their determination to tackle their seasonal duels and reach state as an influential team was through the weighty Husker Invitational where they were victorious with a 91 V2 point victory. " We swam really well for the beginning of the season, " said Gray. Improvement seemed to be in store at the Husker Invitational. according to sophomore swimmer, Jeff Spidle. "We swam better in this invitational than last year." With the natural ability of the swimmers it has been another successful season and the determination for another state title raises their hopes. t

The girls' team filled in the loose gaps from last year's graduated teammates. In order to gain the strength of a state champ ionship team. difficult

practices were considered a must. " Practices are always hard. Even an easy workout can be made difficult just by working harder and pushing yourself." said Linda Rosenberg. junior swimmer. But toilsome swimming practices seemed to pay off in an undefeated seasonal duel record . With such a favorable season resulting in state the coach must gain some credit . According to Rosenberg. " He's not the type to scream and yell. you just have to have a lot of self discipline because if he tells you to do something you 're expected to do it and if you don't he figures it's your loss.

There was also a state record in the 200-yard medly relay by the girls. There was a tremendous load of pressure on the swimmers to do well . According to junior Kristen Hauptman, " there was a lot of pressure placed upon the verterans of the team, that is those swimmers with high school swimming experience." According to junior Linda Rosenberg," I felt a lot of pressure to win because I had never lost."

such as the 'Nooners' and the 'Tastebudettes' flashed across the uniforms of the players. But, having a good time was more important than winning for the players . The basketball teams had no trouble finding players . They had alternates to spare . There were an average of ten players to a team . The games consisted of two-16 minute halves. " Homeroom volleyball is always a big homeroom activity," said Royle . " Students like to play for fun . I think it makes the homerooms a little closer to each other ."

I. Become famous. !. take frequent trips to Princeton, New Jersey. l. Have Dan Rather write your es路 says. J. Enclose more than the required application fee. i. Have daddy start a scholarship In your honor.

Go to Ivy's

Many school nights for seniors are not just sp ent studying . John Kelsey, senior. spends hours with his applic a tion . The Harvard attitude. Mike Bloch. senior. adds the business bac kground and a ttitude for a ccep t ance into an Ivy League sc hool.

How does one go about getting into the prestigious universities known as the lvys? It's really quite simple, it only involves five easy steps . . The first of these is to become famous . As we know, the colleges ment ioned above have enrolled such students as Brooke Shields, Jody Foster, and Jennifer Beals . They love the attention and media coverage given to these stars.

The next step is to take a trip to Princeton, New Jersey. This is the home of the Admissions Testing Program where the SAT tests are made. Having Dan Rather write the essays is the next step to ensure admitance. Rather, one of the top journalists in the country, has the knowledge and experience to answer the six essays that appear on Harvard's application . Next, enclose more than the required application fee . The lvys generally require $30 to accompany the application. If the student slips in an additional $20-$30 , he will increase his chances that much more. The final step is to have daddy start a scholarship at the school in your honor. Donations of this kind seem to impress the admissions staff. According to Mr . Lynn Hansen, college counselor, five to seven students from Westside usually apply to each of the lvys, while only one or two are accepted . By following the five steps all applicants would be assured a spot in the freshman class . t

Heaven forbid that anyone should study . It wasn't even preppy . But, in some cases, you may want to appear to be studying for the sake of parents . Other times it may take a few hours to get into the right frame of mind to study . Here are a few tips which may be helpful in postponing studying: Plan your wardrobe for the next week. This includes any ironing or laun-

Never mention the word composition to a senior. It's a dirty world . It means frustration, ten-page essays, latenight cramming, living at the University of Nebraska at Omaha Library, and for some it means a lot of No-Doz. A quick glance at the Westside handbook will describe no such nightmare . But seniors know better. The infamous class called Composition has been programmed into their heads from the innocent beginning o( sophomore year . At first, the rumors went over their heads without effect. Yet sooner or later, sophomores and juniors became seniors, and for many, composition hit them smack in the forehead. Surviving composition is not only difficult for many seniors, but is also mandatory to pass, in order to graduate in May. This additional pressure is the claimed prime reason for fear of the class.

omposition may be a dirty word to seniors, but there is proof positive that you can pass. Save face and find out how to survive composition and maintain your sanity.

Endless notecards mean a headache and composition Jill Hornstein. senior. prepares her notecards for the final paper.

Procrastination in the world of Composition can be deadly. Exhaustion is on the faces of those who do wait the next morning. Because most of the class is writing and research, an early start is perhaps the most valuable technique in surviving the class. However, more than likely it's spent using No-Doz and late nights to finish the job. anything to survive.

Cheat

Devilish Influences come over Pat Moylan, junior, os he signifies the sin ful side of chea ting .

The honest approach. Charles Ell wein, junior, finds that chea ting is no substitute for good notes.

Does the thought of memorizing algebra formulas spark a mental image of pain and suffering? Does earning a grade dishonestly sound appeal ing? Does studying seem to be an enormous waste of time? If the answer to any or all of the above questions was yes. help may be too late. There is. however. one last alternative . Cheating . There are two basic types of cheating . The ever-popular " look at your neighbor's paper" and the equally used "cheat sheet," but inadequate preparation can be disastrous. When copying from another person during a test. try to be inconspicuous . An occasional glance and someone's head fully turned around and their eyes glued on the neighboring desk. mean two different things. Concerning the cheat sheet method. keep in mind this is the most flexible of the two methods. Answers can be easily jotted down on any available location .

Wr i ting answe r s down in unlikely spots is a good tactic to remember. Shoe soles, pant cuffs. on the back of a calculator, shirt tails, and watch bands are a few examples . Lastly, if caught eyeing a neighbor's paper just loudly call out "okay. I admit it , you can outstare me. Go ahead rub it in." t

Anything will do when it comes to cheating . Hands. cheat sheets and shoes are most common .

Some students become desperate. In the extreme form, cheating means stealing .

odging bouncers c an be done in a variety of ways. If you want to avoid embarrassment the following list should help you out. Note: there are more than five tips that will help you dodge them.

bouncers Busted! Hasn't everyone experienced the feeling of being caught outside the building? Well, maybe not. Don't start now, two weeks restriction isn't any fun . As we hear on television, no system is foolproof. We can get around almost anything, even the dreaded "Bouncer." Trips to Burger King and Countryside Village can become easy with the right how to ... First, don't look

obvious. Don't look like leaving school is fun (even if it is). Laughing is a big nono. Bouncers don't stop students who look serious. Second, even if it kills you, become friends with one or all of the bounce~. That way, if you do get caught, bat your baby blues and maybe, just maybe, they'll let you off the hook. Third, learn to disract the "Bouncer" while your friends â&#x20AC;˘ sneak out. Start a fight with someone. Or pull the fire alarm. Just kidding. But really and truly. What is the best way not to get "busted?" Don't go in the first place. The truth is, there is no real way to dodQe bouncers. It's all skill to be able to do that . It's all timing and lots of luck. If you had to choose a little excitement or two Remember that one dreaded word; Busted! Then choose carefully.

Trees provide on excellent place for students without posses to hide. Tom Brody, junior. eyes the bouncer. Close call. A group of students without posses attempt to evade detection of Rusty, the bouncer.

To pass a ll the required courses and hopefully get a good grade is one reason people attend school. But a more important motivation for stu dents. although not as largely public ized , is the quest to survive a school lunch. Very few are able to succeed in the task . One reason is because very few try . " I've only eaten there four times this year," said Pete Stuneck , senior, " and

we have lov ing l y dubbed it the barfe ." The one man who looks as if he'll end up on top is Mr. Gary Salerno, math instructor. " I think their lunches are superb," sold Salerno, " for the money they can 't be beat." But still a majority of the studen t s would rather not even try to survive a sc hool lunch. " I haven't experienced what they sell in the cafeteria yet t his year," said Susan Gell, senior, " and if I can help it , I never will." Many students believe they can get by eating the full lunch by stuffing their faces with hostess cupcakes. But never the less, the winners of the " Survive a Lunch " race . will be those who week after week plug their nose and swallow the barbe cued barf , oops beef, on a bun . t

1. You'll be safe if you don't have taste buds. 2. The best school lunch is the one that you bring from home. 3. The way to survive school food Is to eat at Burger King. 4. School lunches are fine, as long as they consist of doughnuts and ice cream. 5. The real secret for survival is to plug your nose and pray.

Brown-nose Every class has one . The kid the entire class loves to hate. He can be seen bringing apples to the teachers. shar ing jokes w ith them. and even going out to lunch with them . People beg in to wonder if they get together on the week ends. It's obvious he's not doing this because he particularly likes these teachers. He's doing it for one reason : a good grade. Brown nosing. It's a way of life for some. wh ile others c an ' t stand to even think about it. Mr. Dick Wilson, social studies instructor, described a brown noser as " Somebody working to get in good with a teacher, boss. or anyone else that can do them a favor." The favor Wilson described could mean pushing that A to an A+ . or for the des perate student. an F to a passing D.

Brown nosers are often put down by peers, but if students would look closely. they might real ize that these brown nosers are the " brains" getting the good grades. So next time you see that stra ight A student chatting with a teacher before a major test, don ' t make fun of them, grab a chair and get in on the conversation . It certainly can 't hurt to be friendly .

An apple a day helps the F's go away . Jamie Lotta, sophomore. brown noses Mr. Don Kolterman. English 1nstructor. A mound of books means a mound of brown nosing for Todd Bergstedt , junior, and Mr Higgins. social studies instructor.

rown nosing to some is the only way to make grades. Have you wondered how your friends manage an A+ in a group five course? Stop staying up until 12 a.m .

1. Putting the traditional apple on your teacher'l desk will always put them in a good mood. 2. Volunteer for help at all times. (Grading pa pers, cleaning their desk, etc.) 3. Laugh at all of their jokes, even if you don't fine them funny (or if you've heard them before) 4. Call them at home to ask about an upcomlns assignment. Or better yet drop by their housÂŤ for extra help (teachers like unexpectec guests too). 5. Compliment the teacher, no matter how mucl you hate the outfit, or how much it kills you.

Say no It's a common situation . It happens every day to one poor innocent young girl, sometimes even an innocent young boy. She hears it from a friend and yet still refuses to believe it , that one guy is going to ask her out, whom she has no interest in what-so-ever. What can she say? The young innocent victims say yes more times than not. It's a trap . Maybe they like them a lot as a friend , but nothing more. They

can 't be mean to the boys, but really don't want to go out with them . " I remember once when I asked this one girl out and she told me that she was really exc i ted to go and thought that it would be a lot of fun . Then, the next day, I overheard her friends talk ing about her and how she didn't really want to go out with me, but she just didn't want to say no ," sa id one nameless senior. " That

made me feel worse than if she just would have said no in the first place ." Sound familiar? Well it should, it happens every week . The situation is common and really has no good solution , but it can be prevented . If a girl doesn't want to go out with the one guy who asked her out then she should be strong and brave enough to say no right away or it could become serious. But girls, don't be mean and rude to the boy if he continues to pester you, just sit back, be strong , and go out with him onc e . t

The object is to move from one IMC (Instructional Materials Center) to another and in the least amount of time get kicked out of them all .

Nobody has fun doing their homework, right? Academics is the boring section, right? Wrong. Nobody rates as one of the top schools in the nation without having some fun along the way . And indeed we did. While the nation currently falls in decreasing standardized test scores, Westside and Nebraska continue to break that trend. Teaching trends have also changed. The everadvancing world of computer technology hit home base with a variety of classes. As did the new state law LB-999, forcing the seemingly permanent goggles onto the faces of chemistry and physics students. Team-teaching, involving two or more teachers In a classroom broke the trends, while Sony Walkman-studying did not. The excellence has always been here, the spirit of fun makes it worthwhile . Are we having fun yet? You bet.

Schools earn quality rank Two of the " outstanding" schools in the nation are located in District 66. Arbor Heights Junior High and Westside were chosen as "quality" schools by the United States Department of Education last year. " We have a number of quality programs and Westside and Arbor are just two examples of those " said Dr. James Tangdall. assistant superintendent. The schools were se-. lected by an 18 member panel using 21 criteria and by making site visits. The first elements used in evaluating a school are the 14 attributes of success including: high expectations for the students; rewards and in-

centives for both teachers and students; regular and frequent monitoring of student progress; and a well articulated curriculum. In addition to the 14. there are seven indicators for assessing a school which includes: student performance on achievement tests: student performance on minimum competencies: the percent of sâ&#x20AC;˘udents who go to post -secondary education or trainIng. enter the military, or or~ successful at finding jobs; the number of students who receive scholarships or awards; the student drop-out rate : awards or recognition for scholarship programs or teaching: and student awards in academic. vocational. or other scholastic competitions. science fairs. essay contests. and industrial arts competition . " I don't think it surprised most of the staff. They realize we have a very good program" added Tangdall . "I don't think we feel it's a real big deal. but we must take advantage of the recognition and advertise while we can so we can continue to get support from the community" concluded Tangdoll.

District earns national award Last year. the United States Department of Education started the Secondary School Recognition Program. in order to identify those schools termed "quality." "It's a fairly strenuous process," according to Dr. James Findley. principal. Westside decided to participate," because we thought we'd be competitive," added Findley. Of the 555 schools nominated nationwide. 202 were determined to be "outstanding" by the 18 member panel. Seven of the schools were in Nebraska and two in District 66, Westside and Arbor Heights Junior High. -----------------------â&#x20AC;˘ There are 14 attributes of success used in eval- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - â&#x20AC;˘ uating each school. Some of the 14 include: clear academic goals. order and discipline. a positive school climate. administrative leadership, and community support and involvement. The immediate effect deals mainly with attitude. There was "increased enthusiasm among staff and board members" said Findley. and the "community ought to feel good because, it tells them in comparison to other national schools. we fare quite well."

Academics, athletics and achievement are the three A's which make Westside one of the highly recognized schools in the nation.

Excellence deserves recognition. Mr. Dick Rezac proudly accepts a national honor for Westside during an all school convocation.

A new trend has arisen in education again. Team-teaching is that new trend that has hit home in almost all the departments. Tearnteaching, using two or more teachers for one class. draws various opinions. To Mr. Bob Dornacker. English instructor. team-teaching means opportunity for improvement. His first year as a team teacher. Dor-

nacker sees the method as a benefit. "There is no time loss with two teachers in the room," Dornacker said. However, he believes the teachers must compliment each other. " To have an effective team they must get along with each other. If the teachers are compatible, then the student benefits. I think it is a better situation and education for the students," he said. The team-teaching method also saves teachers from exhaustion and other problems . "There are some days when I have three or four classes in a row. but it never seems like three in a row . It frees me from teacher' burn-out, and allows me time to organize a lecture while the other teacher IActures a large gro1,.1p. " t

Things were different from the very beginning. Nerves are always tense when facing the first day of school, but to face a strange classroom, with strange faces with not one, but two teachers was something new. This soon became common place for sophomores, juniors, and seniors alike. Classes such as Composition, World History, Marketing, Physics and Classics all shared In common the technique of team-teaching. Approxi- 路 mately ten different groups of teachers paired up to utilize this method. Mr. Bill Nelson and Mrs. Susan Taylor, both history instructors are working together on such a team. "Team-teaching is one of the best ways I know to avoid 'teacher burn-out;' that's the important part. The change is good," Nelson replied. Taylor agrees on the positive sides of the method, " We think we do a better job or we wouldn't be doing it." The team-teaching method is new for the teachers also, "We're just learning and already it's better. Our days are better planned and our kids are better exposed to more history," Taylor said. Some students disagree. "I hate it, It's so confusing. I don't get enough personal attention, and the class is unorganized," said Megan Grier, senior. "So far, the only complaint is getting to know the kids better, but I believe the kids are getting the best of both worlds," Taylor said.

Lectures, math and practical labs are all the fun, but when it comes to test time. much concentration is required by Jeff Tonniges. junior.

Vocationally oriented students may presently study more in the area of applied physics in a new science class. The class, Principles of Technology is stationed at Arbor Heights Junior High, "Because of its central location for all the schools involved," said Mr. Edward Sterling, one of the class instructors. 路 The 29 students enrolled were from schools which belong to the Omaha Suburban Area Council of Schools.

'"High Tech' was composed of three major parts for each sub-unit, including lectures, math labs and two practical labs," said Sterling. "I really enjoy the class, because it gives me 'handson' labs and helps me with my Advanced Algebra," said Jeff Thomson, junior. Principles of Technology, which was funded through the state of Nebraska and OSACS schools is a full-year course. The class contained 13 units in all. Six and a half were completed this year and six and a half next year. It is designed for juniors so they can complete it in their senior year; even though it is not required to be completed, but is recommended.

Time divided by new class Time becomes limited for Chemistry teacher, Ms. Carolina Sylvestri. who now splits her responsibilities between two schools. She has taken up a new job teaching the recently started science class, Principles of Technology, at Arbor Heights Junior High. "I enjoy teaching this new science class very much," said Sylvestri. "I believe this class represents something that should be taught in a

good education program." Sylvestri beieves the positive aspects of this course are many. One of the more prominent is teaching the students about advanced technology and application. She also feels it is imperative for students to be taught by teache~ from different schools. The reason for this is so the students can get to know other teachers. teaching styles and other expertise. Also for students to meet one another coming from a variety of schools. "The only negative aspect of teaching this class is that I have to travel from school to school. and I have to split my efforts between the two courses ; and that takes a lot of time," said Sylvestri. t

School is fun, homework is not. According to most hard-working students classes can often become a tedious reality that interferes with high school fun and friendship. Many classes can become robbers of free time. Aside from cafeteria foodstuffs, there are some painful memories of Westside . Sophomores seem to think that the countless hours spent on Literary Masterpieces head their list of academic nightmares. Juniors cite AP History as the most difficult of a myriad of college preparatory courses available to them. A junior can often be identified simply by noticing how much time is spent in the social studies IMC. "AP demands a great deal of time and effort, probably more than any of my many classes," Peggy Kelly said . Tony Magid said, "Do they even sleep there?" Contrary to popular belief, seniors do not spend all of their time at Burger King. Calculus, Composition, and British Literature all require serious study time . Jenny Hart says, "I thought my last year at Westside was supposed to be really easy. That's a joke! I am up halfthe night sometimes doing my Brit. Lit . homework. Mr. Kolterman can really dish it out!" " Comp. takes up so much time. I never dreamed I would be composing such thorough and lengthy papers," said Kelly Tompsett.

She agrees with Josh Zweiback in that. "Mr. Kolterman is a fantastic teacher who expects a lot out of you . Because of that Literary Masterpieces was my hardest class. but also my most rewarding." Many wonder how Kolterman has time to make his course so challenging to all students as he is an accomplished actor who performs in area plays continuously. Kelly Tompsett knows. "Because he makes the effort to give students work that is meaningful. therefore it was more difficult ." t

Without structured study halls, students can choose from six IMC's (Instructional Material Centers) to fulfill their needs during unscheduled time. These "free mods" give students responsibility in utilizing their time. "It allows more freedom and you're able to get additional help from teachers. It's easy to work with other students with this type of format," said Cindy Verschuur, junior. Among the most crowded IMC's are the Social Studies, Math, and English. The Social Studies is preferred by some students because there is a section where talking is allowed and a separate section where homework can be done quietly. "In the Math IMC, you can talk yet still get your work done," said Mona McGee, sophomore . Sometimes a less crowded area is needed to study. Whenever I have to cram for a test, I go to the Foreign Language IMC, since there are very few people down there . It's very quiet and easy to concentrate," said Dru Frykberg, junior. With each IMC comes a different set of rules. Some students feel the punishment for breaking rules is too strict. "The rules are necessary, it just depends on which teachers are in the IMC's. Some are more conscientious about enforcing rules than others," said Beth Graff, junior.

Extra help can 't hurt. Veronica Schneider uses an open mod to get help in Spanish from Mr. Ira Brodsky.

Coordinating up to 25 field trips a year keeps Mr. Bill Schleifer. assistant principal a busy man. "The main purpose of field trips is to give students a 'hands on' experience, to augment what they have learned in their textbooks and to see first hand what they have been studying," Schleifer said . Most of the field trips are taken by the social studies department, but some of the other departments include industrial arts, English, science, special education, home economics and art. Mr. Tom Hall takes his seven small groups for Humanities, on various field trips each year. "There are four main sections that we cover: Art, architecture, music and film," Hall said . The 15 to 20 students in each small group decide on a place that they would like to go for each of the four areas. Some of the field trips in the past have been taken to film and recording studios, architectural firms and art galleries. "These trips provide an interesting change of environment for the students," Hall said. Each year approximately 40 students taking a language are escorted by three teachers to an aU-day foreign language fair in Lincoln . "Any student who wants to compete in poetry, testing, dancing, music or plays may participate in the fair," Mrs. Sheryl Wiitala said . "I believe the students who go develop a deeper interest in languages," Witala said . The American Government class takes a field trip downtown during the first semester of every year, with the objective of going into different buildings and getting a sheet of paper signed by government officials in different offices. "Most students go on field trips with the attitude that they already know everything there is to know about a particular subject; but they usually come back having learned something and having had a good time doing it," said Carman.

Homeroom: a place to get involved Doors opened in August to the school and 115 new students entered to attend the special education program. The program for developmental disabilities was moved from the Westside Learning Resource Center to supply both academic classes and vocational skills. Mr. Dick Rezac business instructor. said, "The program may not be the best in the nation, but the district is devoting a lot of time and resources to making it the best it can be." Each special education student was placed in a homeroom to give them the opportunity to get involved in some school activity. "The special ed. student in our homeroom trys to participate. She plays volleyball with the other students in our homeroom," said Missy Look, junior. "It also allows some of us to help." "It's a new environment for the special education students, and it's a new situation for the other students," said Rezac, "but it seemed to work out well for all involved." Perhaps it can be summed up by Look. "Having the special education program at Westside helps them to feel more like the rest of us. It helps us to relate to them and allows all students to be as helpful as possible." t

"The special education classes for developmental disabilities were held at the Westside Resource Learning Center," said Hutchings. "The Millard schools moved there so that part of the program was moved here." "The whole program could be divided into sections," said Hutchings. "Their options are many. Not as many as ours. but close."t

More and more computers are becoming a part of everyday life. At home they are used in household management and as a learning tool. Some English courses require computer use . Mrs. Donna Smith. English instructor. gives some advice to students in writing lab.

Apple a day helps skills There's more than an apple a day now at Westside . Now mistakes are erased. while white-out. erasers and rewrites are put away.

too much. I went down to the computer lab. asked Mr. Mcintyre a few questions and from there on could pretty much figure it out myself," Naumann said. More and more common. the computer is beginning to simplify instead of intensify the novice's computer essay. "it's not really what people think . So many picture some huge machine with a thousand different functions and buttons and programs. and maybe it does. but you only need to use one at a time. The only difference is being able to change the position of a paragraph or the spelling of a word by pressing a button; it's just like typing on the typewriter. I would recommend a computer for anyone who would have access to one. which is pretty easy at Westside with all the different rooms. In the future. I would like to be able to use the computer again. Hopefully. we will be getting one at home soon. And I know for sure that beats white-out and erasers." Naumann added.

Working In pairs makes the job go faster. Anne Stuneck and Leigh Beneke. juniors. help each other on their math assignments.

Who's afraid of a computer? Apprehension is overcome by Chris Thunblom. senior. who uses the computer for his computer class frequently.

When using a computer. accuracy counts to get the right results. Amy Howard. senior. follows instructions carefully on her assignment.

40 An apple for the teacher isn't the same as it used to be. Forty Apple computers have been placed in the building for individual, as well as class use . With these computers. classes like business. English. social studies. and science can use the computers for word processors and as an aid in learning different material. "Computers are generally easier for students than they are for adults," said Mr. Dennis Mcintyre. media specialist -computer coordinator. What is the future for those computers at Westside? "In most areas. the computer will become a very useful tool and an important learning factor." said Mcintyre . It gives students the ability to see. on a screen. exactly what they are doing. Seeing mistakes. on a screen, is easier to find than mistakes on a written sheet of paper. Students also may be able to remember what they have seen on a screen. rather than what they have written. This would allow them to learn more. andremember more about the class. Computers are just as important as paper and pencils are in schools now. f

"No. the average student doesn't take full advantage of the labs. Yes, I try to. but sometimes I have difficulty because of the commotion around me." Paula Friedland, senior, said. "Yes. people do take full advantage of the labs because there are requirements that have to be met at the end of each lab." "It's hard to make up a lab. You have to make it up on your own time and sometimes it's hard to find that time. I haven't had to make one up yet but when I do I know it's not going to be easy," said Rosenberg .

granted because they are used to it always being there for their use," Lang said. Each student has at least two labs a week . They usually range from 40 to 80 minutes. All the subjects studied in discussion groups are used then . "Everything is tied together," Lang said . What happens if a lab is missed? "Most of the subjects have multiple labs. They can be made up. Either by coming into a different lab or using a set up for students who were not able to attend lab," Lang said . There is always an instructor to help the students who need help outside of class." "The reason labs are a good idea for the curriculum is because they break up the week," Lang said.

Deep concentration and the beat of the tunes makes typing class something to look forward to for Tom Beller, sophomore. Researcher, Julie Klein, senior, keeps studying in perspective as she finished her business in a serious manner.

Good 'h pattern It's the night before the big math exam. and the math book is lying there on the floor unopened. Many students, due to lack of know-how, do not study the proper way. "The most important thing is to prioritize your time," said Mrs. Clarann Winslow, note taking instructor. According to Winslow, students should have a monthly calendar, an assignment nobebook, and a "to do" list. A monthly calendar is for long-range assignments. "This prevents big tests from sneaking up on students," said Winslow . An assignment notebook is for weekly assignments and a "to do" list is for daily work . The best atmosphere for studying is a quiet place with no distractions. The place should be far away from the phone and television . "You need an isolated place for intense concentration,'' said Winslow. It's 1 also best to alternate writing and reading activities. A good tip for memorizing is to review over what has already been memorized right before going to bed. That way it stays in the subconscious while sleeping . "One problem is that students need to be more objective to the demands of certain classes," said Winslow. Sean Payant. junior, said, "I usually do about four hours of outside work," Cari Kunz. junior, said. "Sometimes I have the T.V. going and it sometimes prevents me from concentrating." To do homework successfully "planning is super important and managing your time," said Winslow. f

My friends and 1 crowded into the little theater prepared for another world history large group. Complete silence filled the room compacted with myself and 200 other sophomores. Mrs. Susan Taylor, world history instructor, started class with a lecture. The clock slowly ticked away, but class was already midway through when Mr. Ben Bruner took his place in the front to present his lecture. After Bruner had finished, Mr. Bill Nelson was next. As he approached the front a crashing noise echoed through the room and heads turned just in time to find Bruner laying on a toppled chair on the floor with a look of embarrassment on his face . We all laughed as Bruner blushed, but 1 guess you had to be there.

The day was January 19, the win d chill was 60 degrees below 0. News flashes had been posted throughout the day, carrying th e message to stay inside. Still, my friend s and I were determined to get t 0 Millard North for a basketball game, only to be disappointed by a one point loss. At a stoplight we saw someone we knew who was having car problems After pulling next to them, their car started again. I proceeded to roll up the window, when I realized it wasn 't moving. I "half laughed" and announced the news Kris. obviously not realizing the seriousness of the situation, replied laughing. "It usually doesn't go down. 1 guess you had to be there.

It was around 10:10 on Tuesday morning when Mike and 1 realized we had class next mod. The ten minutes before our American Government Class normally would have been enough time except today we had decided to eat breakfast at my house. ten minutes away from school. By the time we got to the large group taught by Mr. Tom Carmen, we were four to five minutes late. On the way back to school we were joking about excuses. but 1never thought Mike would say anything. As we ran in. Carman yelled " Where have you two been?" Mike yelled out, "Traffic jam in the hallways sir ·" The entire large group was laughing, except Mr. Carman . I turned bright red and couldn 't stop laughing. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. but I guess you had to be there.

The day went by slowly as Gina an dl stuck to our poe t to fast until our spec ial dinner. That night we went to an "all you can eat dinner" t 0 make up for the lost day of eating. w e gorged from a w i3e variety of foods. We left in a sluggish manner 0 s we felt like rolling through the doors rather than walking We ran to my mother's new. red convertible Mustong. We drove down 108th and Q with 0 blaring radio. Witho ut a warning. Gina exclaimed a loud boisterous belch t'o the beat of the tun e . A long round of laughter proceeded the unexcusable. bu t funny action. But. that wasn't all that proceeded. Next Gina "blew her chow" onto the carpet of my mother's car. Her overfilled stomach had been emptied onto the new carpet Round two of laughter had then proceeded . That was an experience I'll never forget. but. 1 guess you had to be there.

It was a chilly October morning that had not begun very well . Arriving at 7:30 and not being able to park less than two blocks from the building does not make for a pleasant morning. My friend Cari and 1 were walking from Christ the King and had crossed the oncoming traffic on Pacific Street. we now faced crossing the oncoming traffic from the west. I noticed the huge puddle located right in front of us. 1 knew trouble was coming the moment 1 saw the red truck approaching . The next thing 1 remember is standing 1n the turning lane shivering with dirty schmutz splattered on my clean clothes. At the time I did not find it humorous. Now. however. when I reminisce with my friends it's hard not to laugh . But I guess you had to be there.

Singing on stage is the chance of a lifetime, for some at least. Bo Hardy is definitely one of those people. Chemistry large group gave him the opportunity to demonstrate his singing abilities. Hardy was among a group of people who, after not wearing their goggles. paid the consequences by singing the goggle song . After just a little "Bo left his goggles off. goggles off, goggles off . . . " Hardy took the opportunity to display his budding musical career and decided to amuse and entertain us all by grabbing the microphone. singing an entirely different song. Not easily discouraged. Hardy could not be urged to discontinue his song, and the only thing that stopped him was the fact that someone turned the microphone off, but I guess you had to be there.

Airports tend to be interesting places with interesting people. From those rushing to the planes. to the groups hugging and kissing . However one night in January another group appeared dressed in party hats and holding kazoos. I wasn't to see them until I walked off the plane, bag in hand. Suddenly a loud roar of "happy birthday" and "kazoo" broke out at me. Soon everyone it seemed was singing happy birthday to me. Being closely followed by the ten friends who came to meet me. I could not maintain my dignity even if I had wanted to. In the end. my followers gave their hats to the kids at the airport and took me to McDonald's. It was an interesting group. but I guess you had to be there.

It had been a long mod of selling yearbooks as business wasn't up to its usual standards. The mod began to become lonely and boredom overtook my mood as I had no company. Then. an elderly woman proceeded toward my booth . Her shoulders were stooped and she walked hobbled. Her face was wrinkled and her smile refreshing . She seemed like the sweetest and most lovable buyer a salesperson could have. And when she did speak. her sincerity shined through. "I would like the peanut kind" she said. I stared in confusion, but understood her mistaking me for a candy salesman . I acknowledged. ' 'I'm sorry. we're selling yearbooks. not candy." She then gave me her puzzled expression. turned her head. and evoked a loud. blaring. "Damn it. anyway!" that didn't fit her vocabulary . In amazement. I fell to the floor laughing hysterically. but. I guess you had to be there.

It was certainly a night that I will never forget. About ten friends and I were going to this party. and were all loaded in one car. When suddenly someone yelled. "I have to go to the bathroom ." We all just ignored her and went on with our own conversations. But then. it continued to echo throughout the car. They were all begging the driver to stop the car. I suppose it would have been alright to stop if the street wouldn't have been a busy one. but it was. it was on 72nd. right by Prep. All of a sudden the whole car unloaded. and I was the only one left in the car. on a busy street. and at a red light. I was so mad that I just took off in the car. and made all the girls chase me. It was the funniest thing to see them all run with a terrified look on their faces . But, I guess you had to be there.

Bored and looking for a little excitement. we entered the journalism room. Someone had an idea. " Let's pretend to break one of the light tables." These aren't just any light tables. these are the sacred light tables that yield death to the person who breaks one. " I'll pretend to break the table and you go along with it." said Lisa . A loud " bang" on the table and a chorus of " oh my god. you broke the light table. let's get out of here " was enough to bring a somewhat uptight journalism teacher sprinting out from his office . The look on his face was well worth the effort. It was pretty funny at the time . Oh well, I guess you had to be there.

It's not often that the thrill of victory is confused with the agony of defeat. One evening, a few friends and I went to the Millard North basketball game. Tension was steadily building throughout the game. One last basket would have clinched the victory. With only eight seconds left. we gained the boll. The noise level was increasing as the clock ticked down (so much so that it was impossible to hear the final buzzer). Brian McGuire. senior. raced down the court and shot the ball at the same time the buzzer sounded . A friend and I thought we had won and began cheering wildly: before realizing that we did in fact. not win the game. If you think that 's bod. it was worse when I was approached later at Burger King and was asked. " Why I was so happy after the loss." What a mistake. oh well I guess you had to be there.

Cops and napkins. is there any connection? 1 found out a close connection . A couple of friend s and I walked into Hardee's dressed in trenchcoots under the suspicious eye 0 f the employees. When the manager asked us what we were doing. we said " leaving." and ron out the doors like bi g doughboys with our coots filled with "hot" napkins. Our " runaway" co r began to toke ott without me so 1 lunged for the luggage rock as the cor headed toward Dodge street . It was just our luck that some cops were pulling into the parking lot for a break . A man running otter a cor with a kid hanging from the luggage rock sparked their suspicion and they stopped us. When they realized all we took were napkins. they merely mode us pay for them. The manager said he would hove given them to us hod we asked. but 1guess that never crossed our minds. We 've hod a few laughs about it. but 1guess you had to be there.

Most people panic when they see a cop. but to see one walking through the SS IMC is a different story . Without any warning. two police officers entered the IMC in full uniform. The room. tor once. fell silent as they strolled up to the checkout desk and inquired about a student named Dov& Fuglsong. The aides shrugged and the officers t urned to the hushed room and shouted. Where 's Dove Fuglsong?" No one said a word . One girl fi nolly shouted out where he was. Handcuffs in hand. t hey strolled over to w here he was. A sigh 0 t relief swept over t he crowd as the 0 tticers announced it w as all set up for a sociology experiment . But. I guess you had to be there.

Hoving a late day on Wednesday's provided more than just the obvious benefits. Not only did it allow me to sleep in. it rid me of one of my duties as chem lob assistant-working the overhead in Iorge group. The reason for my great apprehension was due to my handwriting. The next day was not only Iorge group. but it was also a yearbook deadline. I didn't go to sleep until 3 a.m. I walked into Iorge group half asleep with bogs under my eyes . At first people were actually excited to see a new face at the overhead. When they sow me write they soon changed their minds . Following Iorge group I received numerous nasty comments about my writing . I hove since vowed never to do it again. but. I guess you had to be there.

Hoving a mod passionate crush on someone is fun . but often times con lead to embarrassing moments . Annette hod told me she hod on "update" on the "guy of her dreams." We were now meeting to discuss the exciting new gossip. While walking down the hall toward the destiny of our next class we kept our voices somewhat silent just in case he would be walking anywhere near us. Anyone could sense the excitement and nervousness in her voice . While turning the corner Annette 's eyes met the " guy of her dreams" as she tripped and dropped her books while stumbling to her knees. It's hard to describe the look that hit her face . but I guess you had to be there.

It was 1:30 a .m .. on a clear summer night. Peggy and I were coming home when all of a sudden Peggy took a wrong turn . I asked her why but got no reply. I knew where we were going, towards the area in which Tim. Peggy's new love. lived. We finally reached his house. and she stopped in front to see if he was home. So I just sot there and looked around. Across the street I sow this cor of guys who I thought I knew. so I waved . Then they yelled. "Hey, stop." As Peggy drove away . I looked behind to see what they were doing, and they were following us. Peg began to speed up to lose them. but nothing worked. They chased us around for about 20 minutes. when we finally lost them . The way Peg was driving and the look on her face mode me laugh for days. But to really Iough at it I guess you had to be there.

Fun , the three letter word that could only describe a year at Westside . The serious moments ran along side the fun times too . Graduation requirements were stiffened for the class of 1986, a controversial "After-Prom-Party" was organized, and both boys and girls swimming teams took state, the boys for the eighth consecutive year. Through all the serious times, fun kept the spirit of excellence constant; enough so to make a yearbook theme describe the year true than ever. Are we having fun yet? · You 've read the answer . t

The year reflected just that too. Fun became the main priority as students realized that there's more to school than tests and homework. The Nerd Dance, parties when the parents weren't home, even Physics large group showed everyone a good time . As the year drew to a close, seniors began to think about entering the real world, juniors pondered the upcoming year when life would really start, and the sophomores were just glad to be out of gym. Although thoughts of next year were inevitable, so were reflections back onto the past one. Memories of the games, parties, dates, and good friends all support the answer to the question "Are we having fun yet." "YOU BET!" t
