t doesn't get any better than this? .............. Take a look around you. Inside the doors of Westside there is an abundance of spirit with the newly refurbished math and English wings, with the cheerleaders and pep squads screaming "The Spirit is Back," and with the varsity football team actually winning the homecoming game against . No.2 rated Northwest even without having a bonfire to spur them on. The student population is a group of over achievers with above average ACT and SAT scores, and with 78 percent of graduates going on to college. Westside has something for everyone and with 32 clubs there is constant activ~y. Without student participation in clubs there would be no homecoming, prom, student government, cheerleaders, pep squa(js, or band. What more can anyone ask for from a school? It doesn't get any better than this.

uriosity prevails and the wonderment of "maybe it can get better than this" runs through the mind. Look at all the work done during the year and all the frustration encountered while doing it. Granted, school has its hard times, disappointments, and frustrations, but are they really all that numerous? The good (and fun) outweight bad by far. Remember the time laughing so hard in the EngC and then getting kicked was so funny, it didn't matRemember the freaky, but hurous hail storm on September 22, when everything flooded (including your car)?

SPLASH Water activities drown students in fun events The forecast for today calls for a lot of sunshine and humidity. Highs can be expected in the mid to upper 90's ... With forecasts similar to this last summer, many students found themselves continually searching for ways to beat the heat. Local pools, whether public or private, attracted many students. Some used the pools for the mere enjoyment of swimming. Yet others spent their time at the pools as a great place to relax and work on their suntan. "I like hanging out at the pool with my shades, catching some rays, and keeping in touch with the cosmos," Brae Bilby, junior, said. Waterslides were another popular escape from the heat on a summer afternoon. "Watersliding is the ultimate water sport. To be able to sit down and let jets of

water propel you at incredible speeds, now that's a sport for you," Randy Frykberg, junior, said. Some fortunate students found lakes to be another great site for enjoying the water. Participation in several water sports varying from sailing and windsurfing to waterskiing was possible. "Waterskiing is a great sport because it is such a progressive sport," Mike Grier, junior, said. "After you think you've got one type mastered, you find a new, more challenging type." Whether it was spending a relaxing afternoon poolside, a day at the waterslides, or an exhausting day of waterskiing, the water was found as one of the best cures for those lazy summer days. - by Doug Parsonage

HAIL!

Summer ends with bang as parking lots flood Crawling out of bed and preparing for a lazy day by the pool, gives most students an image of their summer vacations which are now just a mere memory. Brian Sattem, senior, spent his days " going to Rockbrook Pool then playing some sand volleyball and checking out chicks." While the sun soaked up some students' time, favorite TV shows became a habitual thing. "I'd get up at about 12 or 1 and watch 'One life to Live,"' Casey Wills, junior, said. After soccer practice and some basketball, "Tim Bennett, junior, said he would, " go home 路and watch the 'Dating Game'. Chad Mulligan, sophomore, spent his summer mowing lawns. " I'd get up around 7:30a.m., mow a couple of lawns until about 10, and then go back to sleep until

12:30." But not all summer was restful and perfect. As the sky blackened on the last day of summer, a swift downpour of rain and hail began to enclose the city. The hammering of the hail caught the attention of students who peered out nearby windows. Windows were broken in the math/social studies wing, 50 windows in the greenhouse were shattered, and a skylight was broken in the metals shop. The loge and the auditorium were flooded. Cars in the faculty, senior, and junior lots were flooded and I or dented by hail. "There were three or four student cars that were submerged, Dr. Jim Findley, principal, said, "but there were at least 10 or 12 cars that sustained water damage." -by Heather Strait

In order to earn a little extra cash. Brian Sattem. senior. spends his summer days mowing lawns, proving not all summer days are merely fun and relaxing.

Anxious students are ready to spend a fun evening on the town. That is the typical background for a summer night, yet, planned student activities usually depended on the social group the students fell into. Dan Ariza, senior, said, "We would usually get refreshments and go to a park, or sometimes we would go to a party." To some people this summer wasn't what it was cracked up to be. Matt Vieceli, senior, said, "The most boring thing about this summer was always going to Brad Momsen's boring parties.'' Working was a major part of the summer. Nealy Vicker, junior, said, "I

worked sometimes at night; if I wasn't working we would go to someone's house or maybe a drive in." Others thought the summer was kind of repetitious. Jason Wills, senior, said, "We always sat at my house and drank and ate crackers." Some people had some pretty embarrassing nights that they hoped would be forgotten. Alysia Donscheski, senior, said, "On my birthday we went to Tina Duff's house. The next thing I knew, her parents were taking me to my house and they put me in bed. The rest is history." Doing different things and going different places is what summer is all about. However, all agree that the freedom of summer beats studying any time. -by John Pemberton

Renovation aids new enthusiasm to hallowed halls As the end of August drew ner, scores of students spent every waking moment in the sun trying to get that ultimate tan, and trying not to think about school. "I didn't want summer to end, but in a way I was looking forward to school and seeing all my friends," Diana Bishop, junior, said. "I was really looking forward to returning to school because I was anxious to see what they had done to the interior over the summer," Chris Owen, junior, said. Over the summer months the district spent $1,918,715.07 on the renovation of the math and English wings. The new decor

consists of two large school crests in the main hallways and the use of black, red, and white throughout the school. "I think its neat," Mr. Bob Klein, physics instructor, said. "We have finally gotten away from the institutional green and offwhite." Although the general concensus for the redecoration is good, there are still a few pessimists. "I think it looks goofey - three colors used throughout the school, we could have tried to be a little original," Todd Stuhmer, senior, said. "But, at least it's better than that puke green."

homecoming

-__, pushes enthusiasm; students rally round The cheerleaders carried the redecoration one step further. " We decided to have a type of school theme this year, and we chose ''The Spirit is Back" because we were hoping that the " new look" Westside has would make students want to participate more and be a part of the fun . We thought that a theme would just help them along," Vicki Chase, g irls ' cheerlead ing captain, said. " I like tt-le idea of 'h a vi n g a s c h o o I theme, especially one like " The Spirit is Back" because the students at Westside lack in the area of spirit. At least the cheerleaders are trying to do something about it," Jenny Militti, junior, said. " Westside, as a

student body , has spirit if we win a game, but, if we lose . . . " Amy Menolac ir')O , junior , commented. " Maybe the theme will help this out a bit, though." "It seems to me that most people go to a game to socialize and find out where all the parties are, not to actually watch," Nancy Dillon: senior, said. Along with ~he new theme, th~ cheerleaders a.nd other spirit groups along with the marching band held the traditional fall pep rally on Friday, Sept. 5, in the gymnasium, to psyche-up the fall athletic teams for the season. " I thought that the pep rally went pretty well ," Liz Hansen, senior Squire, said.

New royalty reign at homecoming; rain halts fire Another tradition for the fall is homecoming, usually a three-day affair. Activities which were originally planned to begin on October 2 and end on October 4, were moved two weeks ahead of schedule because of the Jewish New Year. The bon fire, usually held the Thursday before the game, was once again cancelled because of weather 'conditions. "I guess I didn't really mind not having 1a bon fire, I'm used to it by now," Jake Carnazzo, senior, said. "It was definitely a disappointment , '' Dana Studenberg, junior, said. "I was also worried that the parade might be cancelled because of

rain, but at least I got to watch that." Because of the early date, finding float entries for the parade was a major concern. "On Friday morning we started out with only four floats entered, we weren't sure if we would still hold the parade. But finally, more entries came in and the parade was a success," Kim Johnson, junior SAB member, said. One unique feature of the 1986 homecoming, "Somewhere in Time", was that the crowning of the king and queen was done in the lower auditorium. In the end, Terry Beutler and Machaela Fruehwald were named king and queen. -by Traci Williams

WELCOME

Opening day brings new schedules, extreme sophomore apprehension August 27, 1986, a date that will live in infamy. Well, maybe not, but this is an important day; the first day of school. As summer officially ended, hordes of students went back to school. Sophomores came with maps in hand, looking for someone to eat lunch with, and the working restrooms. Juniors parked in the senior lots, looked for homecoming dates, and tried to act cool. Seniors left on every available open mod, looked for a date to homecoming, and stood in an endless array of lines . . . from parking stickers and senior passes to the line to switch into second semester composition. Tim Veitzer, sophomore, said, "At first, I didn't know what to expect and was a little apprehensive, but after first mod, everything was okay. I didn't walk into any of the wrong classes, but a lot of "lost" students walked into mine."

Kerry Rice, junior, said, "I drifted through the first day of school as if I were living in a vacuum." Kevin Looper, senior, said, "The first day was great! Jeff Spidle and I had a contest to see how many sophomores we could make either late for class or incurably lost. If someone asked one of us for directions, we'd send them to the wrong end of the building or just tell them the wrong room number. At any rate, I won- with 11." Not everyone had an awful experience and not everyone had three classes, not everyone wanted to really come to school, but everyone knew, no matter how the first day of school went, that there were many more days ( 181 to be exact) to follow. The year promised to be a little better or a little worse, and in most cases, it ended up, being both. -by Jenny Silvernail

Not all dates include an expensive dinner at a fancy restaurant. Joe Brady and Becky Kean, juniors, prove that eating ice cream cones can be an enjoyable alternative.

DATES

Student concern is in asking; some girls ask guys for dates

When the choice is made between " going out with the gang" or "going it alone" with someone special, many students decide to go out with their particular group of friends. More often than not, this is because kids can't find that "perfect" boy or girl. But once the person is found, they can't get the nerve to call and ask for a date. Doni Flower, senior, said, "First I have a friend find out if she (the girl) likes me. Then I call her for an assignment and ask her what's going on this weekend and what she's do- . ing. By the end of the conversation, I will (maybe) ask her out." But the boy doesn't always have to ask the girl out. Kathy Kaplan, junior, said, "Well, I will usually just stop by where he lives or works and buy something or else, I'll just call him up." Knowing whether or not the person likes you, helps relieve most of the anxiety of asking someone out. "If I don't know

a girl, I'll try to sit by her in the Social Studies IMC and make tun of her," Bill Jones, senior, said. " If I want a guy to know I like bim and find out if he likes me, I'll tell my friend and she will.tell the guy I like and then tell me what he says," Connie Merwald, sophomore, said. After the date is set, the problem of "what to do" becomes apparent. Doubledates offer safe refuge and so do the standard dinner and a movie. But deciding what to do is harder for those who cannot drive. Tim Vietzer, sophomore, said, "I would double with a friend or else date someone that could drive, but I don't go on too many dates. I usually just go to parties and meet girls there. Despite the many problems with getting dates, they are worth it in the end. It's a great way to get to know someone whether things "click" or not. Going out on a date is always more tun than spending a lonely night at home. -by Jenny Silvernail

License provides new freedom; downslips responsible for its loss Peering from behind the steering wheel, first-time drivers sometimes tell themselves, "They've got to be kidding." Anxiety builds as the key is slowly turned and the experience is about to begin. "Driving was kind of scary, but kind of fun at the same time," said sophomore Kris Lynch. "I felt like I had a sense of power." Most new drivers feel a sense of being older. Jon deNourie, junior, said, "I felt as though I could do anything I wanted and that I gained a few years." Once the obstacle of learning to drive has been overcome, then comes the fear of being pulled over. "I had no idea what I did until they pulled me over, and I found out it was for not signaling," said Doug Fehr, senior. Sometimes anxiety builds as drivers learn they have to contend with Nebraska winters. ''You panic and slam on your brakes and then end up sliding into four-way traffic," Janine Roubal, senior, said.

Roubal discovered that people need to be more cautious in these conditions. "You drive like 10 miles per hour and almost slow down to a stop as you're turning a corner." The final lap in the driving race that happens to the chosen few is the "accident." "I ran into a mailbox once after I hit ice and lost control," deNcurie said. "It was just a dent in the door; we had to replace it with a new one.'' Then there are occasions when the accident is not the fault of the driver. "We were going down a hill and some guy ran a stoplight and crashed into me," Fehr said. "I was scared when he asked me to step in the police car. Driving anxieties happen to every driver sometime while on the road. It could be a fear of learning, fears of getting pulled over, and/or the everfeared accident that can cause these anxieties to occur. -by Heather Strait

Anxiety Attacks

Students attempt to deceive; consequences draw wrath You're in the door, sweat is dripping down your forehead . All you can think of is why you did such a stupid thing. All of a sudden you hear your name called by your parents. You realize the worst is just beginning. This is a typical situation for kids going through high school. Duke Bradford, junior, said, "I try to be straight forward with my parents, but sometimes you have to change the story around just a little bit." Another strategy may be holding off in telling the story until the parents are in just the right mood. This can result in great success, if done correctly or great failure. Jeff Kavich, senior, said, "I wait until I notice my dad's in a great mood, then I casually slip it in during a conversation." Tom Mausbach, sophomore, said, "Buying a present for your mom sometimes can help. I usually do this just to

keep her from telling my dad. However, this plan has been known to backfire." Alysia Donscheski, senior, recalls a conclusion drawn this summer, "I had wrecked my car. I called my parents and asked them if they were in a good mood. Right away they said, "What happened to the car?"' Mr. Joe McNamara, Scott McNamara's father, said, "I always know when Scott is going to confess something because he talks to us for more than ten minutes." One of the worst confessions is one that has to do with police officers. Dave Barker, junior, has first-hand knowledge on this subject. "The police officer took me home and I had to go in and get my parents right in the middle of a party they were having and tell them I got MIP," Barker said. Confessions can be done in many ways, yet the end result is always trouble. -by John Pemberton

Careful planning and skill are needed for Todd Stuhmer to roll the family car out of the driveway for a late-night escapade.

Seniors develop new interest in mail service from universities

Getting mail ranks as one of the most important things in life. The satisfaction of knowing someone "cares enough to send the very best" makes mail fun to receive. For seniors, however, getting the mail can be a stressful experience. For waiting in that harmless looking mailbox, in that large envelope, is the letter that hopefully starts: "Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you of your acceptance into next year's freshman class ... " This is the end to the months of wondering, waiting, and accosting the mail-carrier. Tracey Wagner, senior, saved herself some of the agony of waiting for her college acceptance letter by applying early. "It (the letter) came earlier than I expected. I knew I was accepted before school began," Wagner said, "it was worth getting it over with." Perhaps the real trauma oc-

curs after the letter arrives. How to reject an acceptance, how to deal with an acceptance to a not affordable school or one that is too far away, dealing with throngs of people asking for sweatshirts and of course, just making it to graduation. Wagner said, "I'm accepted, but if my grades drop below a " B" average, if my financial situation changes for the worse, or anything, they don't have to take me,'' It seems the whole college process is one trauma after another. Hopefully, after college has started, looking back on the months, it will seem somehow funny that it was traumatic at all. Remember how, in the ninth grade, the whole high school scene seemed like a hard transformation, but it wasn't so bad and we survived? -by Jenny Silvernail

Eleted on receiving a college acceptance through the mail, Lori Bourke. senior, smiles in relief that the wondering is over.

Conferences with Mrs. Maryanne Ricketts. counselor. and Tracey Kennedy, senior help in deciding career plans for the future.

fashion follows favorite fancies Fashion. It's a 路word that changes every year. The days of Polo's, and lzod's have changed to oxfords, leather, and big sweaters. Brooke DeGoler, sophomore, said, "Most girls wear skirts with white socks and black shoes. Some girls wear tapered jeans and big sweaters. Boys usually wear rugbies and oxfords.'' Fashion goes through major changes from the Madonna's of 1984-85 to the punk rockers of 1986-87. Fashion plays a major role in everyone's life.

Greed, feed, need become primary motivators; student employment possibilities vary widely JOBS-a word most students know well. High school jobs range anywhere form a cash register operator to a busboy or busgirl. Most jobs are after school and and weekends. Dan Ariza, senior, said, "I got a job so I would have extra money. Jenny Beckman, junior, said, "I needed the money for clothes.'' The biggest reason for students' dislike of jobs is their tendency to get in the way during the weekends. Ariza said, "I final-

ly quit my job because it was getting in the way of my weekend plans. I always had a hard time reaching my friends." Others found jobs that wouldn't cause this problem. Steve Laird, junior, said, "I work at Heaffey, Heaffey, and Hoffman. I mow the lawn and wash the hearses. It's not bad because I only have to work on Saturday mornings.路' Keri Bargstadt, sophomore, said, "I'm a hostess, it hardly ever gets in the way of weekends,

WEEKEND FUN

Students find 'hot spots' to spend/waste time Rubbing the sleep from your eyes, you slowly focus on the clock which reads 11 a.m. You have slept in once more; but that seems fair enough. The weekend is here and it's time to take a breather from school, relax, and have a good time. The options are numerous, ranging anywhere from just lounging around to more strenuous activities such as sports. Lunch plans and spending a little time with friends seem to be a good way to enjoy the weekends for those who like to take things easy. "I usually sit around on Sunday's or maybe go out to lunch with my friends. I never really have set plans,'' Laura Ulrich, sophomore _ said. Janine Roubal, senior, spends her day in a similar manner with the addition of a movie. " I go to a movie almost every Sunday and then maybe go for pizza. It is almost a must since weekends are so boring," Roubal said.

Some sort of athletic activity also seems to top the list of things to do on weekend days. During football season, watching Nebraska games is a popular way to spend a day. "It (Nebraska football) is one of the most incredible feelings. There is nothing like seeing the players give all they've got to win the game," Tim Bennett, junior, said. Participating in sports is also popular on a weekend. "Football is always a fun thing to do on weekends. It's a good way to exercise, but still have a great time," Todd Murphy, senior, said. Joe Brady, junior, enjoys participating in a more casual sport. "I like to spend my free time motorcrossing," Brady said. But regardless of the activity people choose to do, it is an universal feeling that weekends provide an excellent chance to kick back, relax and have a good time. -by Doug Parsonage

The options a high school student has when it comes to lunch are limited. Some choose not to be bothered with lunch decisions at all, but for those who do, there is the always popular, yet not necessarily liked, cafeteria. Others opt to break away from the monotony of school, and leave during open mods. For seniors, there is no problem with leaving the building, but for underclassmen it is more difficult. However, actions usually speak louder than a growling stomach as the underclassmen dart through unguarded doors. The popular hangouts over lunch mods for Westside students seem to be fast food-restaurants, but some add in a few extras after satisfying their hunger. Scott Slocum, senior, said, "I usually go out to lunch every day. If I have time after lunch I go to Family Fun Center." Some Westside students are con-

Sometimes I go out more often," Sitzman, said. For those students without transportation problems lunches out are more frequent. Pat Kelly, senior, said, "I leave twice a day on the average. Bronco's is definitely the place to go.'' Scott Olson, junior said, "We usually go twice a week to lunch. Valentino's is the best, because you can eat all you want for not very much money." Lunch breaks are a necessity to the survival of high school students. Being able to leave and eat somewhere of personal choice is an added bonus and the icing on the cake. -by Kim Johnson

/e T•'•S • S•H-Oe W• T•/eMeE Winter play proves to be year's pure dramatic comedy of theater season The lights dim, the music begins, the audience chatters incessantly until the music swells and dies away . . . lights up. And so began another Westside drama presentation. "The Man Who Came to Dinner" was the one pure dramatic comedy of the year. The play is about a celebrity (Sheridan Whiteside) who, while dining at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest W. Stanley, falls and breaks his hip. In the course of the play, Mr. Louie Niemann, chemistry instructor, made a cameo appearance. Niemann said, " It was supposed to be a total surprise for the cast as well as the audience. (Mr.) Larry (Fortney) and I were going to do something that had never been done in rehearsals before." While the ruse failed to suprise the cast, it brought surprised cries from the audience as

students recognized Niemann and searched (in vain) to find his name in the playbill. Cast members felt the success of "The Man Who Came to Dinner" was due primarily to the play's director, Fortney, and also to the entire cast. Fortney said, "The rehearsal Monday before the show wasn't very good and I got upset. By Tuesday's rehearsal, I noticed a vast improvement in characterization.'' Andy Davis, senior, said, " Mr. Fortney is an outstanding director. Without him drama would not be what it is here." All agree that the play turned out a success.

Although "The Bad Seed" was scheduled on a school night, Halloween, and the night before SAT's, attendance was good. "This play is about an innocent little girl named Rhoda who goes around killing people," Beals, said. "The play is scary. After we read over it at rehearsal everyone sat quietly looking at each other," Anna Donaldson, senior, (Monica Breedlove, the landlady) said. The story revolved around Jana Skarda, junior, (Christine Penmark) and Beth Hawkins, junior, (Rhoda Penmark) the main characters. "The group knew their lines early in

rehearsal," Mr. Larry Fortney, drama director, said. "So we were able to work on characterization." The main problem was getting the students to become a part of the play. "We had trouble getting them to act like adults and show emotion in the situation," Fortney said. Every student cast in the play is required to do some technical aspect of producing a play. The students create scenery, are in charge of costumes, find adequate props, and do each others make-up on the nights. Student director Julie Bomer, junior, helped get the play off the ground behind the scene. "It takes a lot of dedication," Fortney said, "But we've got student support." -by Ellen Behringer

"Getting ready is a tough job, but the result of all the work is a great concert," Kathy McClure, senior, said. Work wasn't the only thing involved in preparation, fun is also included. Clint Cary, senior drum major, said, "Concerts are very casual. We just go, play, and have fun . Mr. Roger Groth is a cool guy. We can play anything, as long as it's tasteful." The number of concerts per year varies slightly, but there are always the annual concerts; " Messiah", clinic and the win-

ter I spring musical, to liven up the dreary winter months. "After November, we usually perform one concert each month," Mr. Harold Welch, orchestra instructor, said, "but our biggest concert is the Honor's Concert, at the end of the year. This is where I honor my graduating seniors." "All and all, I think our concerts are pretty good," Welch said. After football season, the marching band splits into two concert bands. "Splitting up is something I look forward to," McClure said. "That's when the fun begins." Brian Sedgly, senior band member, said "Giving concerts is the best.

It was the winter that wasn't. The snow, extreme temperatures and gusty winds, all a part of a typical Nebraska winter, were close to nonexistant as spring temperatures were abundant.

School support down; involvement on rise Attendance down and involvement up is the most general way to describe the trend in extra-curricular activities. Mr. Ron Huston, activities director, said, "The last couple years, student support has not been as good as in past years. However, we are not alone, this is true for most schools.'' There may be many reasons for this drop, the most popular being lower enrollment and people getting more active in other areas. Huston said, "As far as involvement in activities, that has really increased. There are just so many options for kids now." One of those options is school dances. However, that option has been seeing problems. Both the dance sponsored by Forum and the dance sponsored by the cheerleaders were rather unsuccessful.

leader dance, said, "The dance was a complete disaster. We lost $200 because we only made $40 from ticket sales. Huston said, "It is hard to plan dances because some are a hit and others are total failures." Another more successful option was attending varsity games on Friday and Saturday nights. Randy Frykberg, junior said, "If I didn't know what was going on then I'd go to the games and see some people and find out what they were do- , ing after the game." Rich Erixon, senior, said, "Games just seem to be a social gathering. So if there is somewhere else to gather, I'd rather go there and save $3."

Going on dates still seems to be the most popular option to take during weekends, espec~l~ when nothing seems to be going on. Todd Murphy, senior, said, "If you don't have a girl lined up, it's just not worth going out." Doug Parsonage, junior, said, " Well, seeing I've had a pretty long drought as far as women go, weekends seem more and more boring. Unless there is a big party which hasn't been the case lately, I usually spend my time wasting fuel." Jennifer Silvernail, senior, said, "The thing that was great about having a boy-

friend was that I knew I'd be doing something and not just driving around all weekend looking for something to do. It's like I didn't have to worry about my weekend plans.'' One false reason that kids use as an excuse for no parties is faculty. Mr. Lloyd Kilmer, dean of boys, said, "We don't get involved in any parties or other activities of that sort. They only time we communicate with the police is if they come to us. Then we have the option of telling them what we know." Dave Barker, junior, said, "Weekends can be fun if there is a definite plan for the evening. Usually we end up driving around trying to find some sort of party." No matter if weekends are full with school activities or non-school activities, Westside students feel Omaha is definitely not the party place. -by John Pemberton

In the beginning (not quite so far back as Adam and Eve, but the beginning of the 1986-87 school year) from the day of orientation (sitting in the hot auditorium) to the very end, (the day the" Shield" came out) Westside has never seen a dull moment. Events, action, sports, news, hot presses, dances, parties, rivalries, politics, drugs, world news, (the President's colon) crime, and even the new panels on the lockers in the social studies and math wings, helped to make .the year exciting. Westside had its Homecoming dance the earliest in history. Originally it was scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 4, but was rescheduled for Saturday, Sept. 20-two weeks earlier. Students argued about the early date, but Homecoming came and went as planned. "Somewhere in Time" memories of homecoming will be kept. As the weather got cooler, Mother Nature had a few suprises of her own to keep the attention of the students. On the last day

of summer, summer's severest weather hit Omaha. A hailstorm hit Westside and caused many to worry about their cars . Damage was widespread; in the greenhouse 50 windows were broken; in the Metals shop, a skylight was broken; the carpet in the loge and auditorium was soaked, and cars in the faculty, senior, and junior lots were flooded and/or dented by hail. "Three or four student cars were submerged in the parking lots," Dr. Jim Findley , principal, said . The ice in the parking lot wasn't the only thing that was freezing. Jack Hawk, senior, petitioned the administration in an effort to make Westside a nuclear '' Free Zone.'' The goal was to get a two-thirds majority of the students to sign the petition. "Not much will happen, ' ' Hawk said in a "Lance" interview, " but we'll take down the fallout shelter signs." In spite of all the publicity, the twothirds majority was never reached ; nothing happened. How well can students read? Does this

Another major topic of 1986 was Acquired Immune Deficiency Syn drome. (AIDS). Talk on television and in the papers ha s brought AIDS to the public ' s attention . " The number is growing," Dr. John Westin of the Douglas County Health Department, in the " Glance," said. " Fear is developing in the general public of the increasing number of heterosexual cases.''

the 1986-87 school year; the underground newspapers. Three underground newspapers were released. The first edition of the 'First Amendment' criticized "Lance" C'11umnist Randy Frykberg. Frykberg responded in his next column with sarcasm, "My reaction to the 'Amendmeht' came in the form of a yawn.'' "Underground papers have a reputation for causing controversy among administration and faculty in schools, Frykberg said. "The ' Amendment' is as controversial as an episode of the 'Andy Griffith Show."' "They are definitely making a landmark in journalism," Frykberg said, "It's a joke. Their best stories were about the hairlines of three certain faculty members." Frykberg ended his column with as much sarcasm as it began. "They should have guts enough to use writer's real names if they have the audacity to call themselves the 'First Amendment,"' Frykberg said. "They have no need for constitutional protection, the only people who need pro-

tection are bald math teachers and readers expecting quality journalism.'' Things calmed down between Frykberg and the "FA" but heat rose elsewhere. In the eleventh issue of the "FA" published on November 11, an article titled 'Lance Prints Stupid Story,' a response to the "Lance" article on Christopher Patil, sophomore. In responce, letters to the editor were published in the "Amendments" next edition praising it for insights on Patil calling him a "heathen commie" and concluding with "Kill Patil." When posters were put up in the building saying "Kill Patil," the Administration became concerned. A search began for ''Amendment'' writers and several students were called to the office under suspicion, but to no avail. The "First Amemdment" continues to be publised with unknown writiers. "They give themselves too much credit," Frykberg said, "They think the Administration is afraid, but I think they don't care. It's just that some parents called and they had to do

Recall is the ability to remove an elected government official before his I her term is expired . Twenty-five percent of Omaha voters must request a recall and then it is voted on by the people of the community. Boyle lost the recall election on January 13, with a citywide analysis (Omaha World Herald) of 56 percent to 44 percent to remove him from office. The concern of most was who the city council would appoint to replace former Mayor Boyle. Bernie Simon was elected by the city council to be Omaha's 44th mayor on Tuesday, February

Team spirit thrives Ulll U he athletes of Westside are the ones who put in endless hours at practice, private time training, and numerous days of staying after school. That special team spirit akes athletics fun and worth effort even if a trophy is end result. We had our teams - volleyball and ketball both went to state. owever, we also had our varsity football team which played with the ups and downs of a roller coaster. But even the teams that only came in second or third were still winners. Injuries and defeats were devastating. However, losing 6-0 to the nation's No.7 ranked team in football was, at least, a moral victory. The fun times at practice, the jokes in the locker room, and the celebrations were all an added bonus. Athletically, it doesn't get any better than this.

Athletes battle foes

Sports Rivalries

hether it's football, basketball, volleyball, or golf, every team at Westside has one particular team they want to beat. "Competitive rivalries are good and healthy because it's not necessary to spend a lot of time preparing mentally for the game," Mr. Ron Huston, athletic director, said. Creighton Prep is undoubtedly Westside boys' biggest rival, and has been since Westside and Burke were no longer allowed to compete against each other in football due to fights. "We get more excited about playing Westside than other schools Everyone gets fired up. We both have excellent teams, which always makes an exciting game. Coaches always say it will be the most physical game and real competitive," Jeff Huber, Creighton Prep senior, said. Dr . Richard Cotton Burke athletic director' thinks it's unfortunate that "a bunch of screwballs got together and caused a lot

of trouble in the past, but rivalries are positive, and the more you play another school, the more the teams become rivals.'' The biggest rivalry for girls has changed from Marian, last year to Millard North. Kelli Smith, Millard North senior said, "I think that the rivalry between Westside and Millard North is great." Graffitti-decorated sidewalks and buildings claiming that the Mustangs were number one, and salt pellets were scattered on the Westside football field prior to the Millard North football game. "It's hard to say who it was and if it was even someone from another school," Huston said. Whether it is good or bad, rivalries will always exist between schools. Sometimes they go too far and fights break out, and vandalism is done. But for the most part, rivalries create a sense of enthusiasm necessary for the true school spirit.

ard work, dedication pay off on field

A year characterized by hard work and progressive team play helped in leading both the junior varsity and the sophomore teams to successful, winning seasons. The junior varsity, coached by Mr. Mark Stegman, posted a record of 6 wins and 3 losses and the sophomore team, coached by Mr. Jeff Hurley, earned a record of 4 wins and 3 losses. Both teams produced strong defenses. The JV confirmed their defensive strength, shutting out their opponents in all six wins. Coach Hurley said of his team's defense, "We had a lot of people who just wanted to hit. They weren't afraid to lower their helmets." It seems the purpose of both teams is preparing the students for playing varsity football. "We try to do the same basic things that the varsity does. We also try to keep the same terminology so they don't start from scratch when the play for the varsity,'' Stegman said. According to the coaches, both teams progressed greatly from game to game. The sophomore team ran into a staagnant period mid-season, losing three in a row, but they came together to win the final two games. The JV had their problems with a lack of team play at the start of the season. "We started as a lot of individuals, but as the season progressed, we played more and more as a team," Stegman said. With successful seasons by both the JV and sophomore teams, it seems as though the Warriors can look for successful teams in the future. -by Doug Parsonage

nexperience no problem; Warriors still win

A young and inexperienced football team can serve as a feeding ground for any critic. But, the Warriors pulled off some major upsets, including victories over Northwest and Millard South, and proved the critics wrong on the way to a 6-3 season record. At the beginning of the season, due to the lack of returning starters, the Warriors seemed to be standing on shaky ground. "We started out with only two offensive linemen, Joe Beam and Kevin Looper. They showed great leadership and helped out the other more inexperienced linemen. That's one thing that makes coaching here so nice; the young people are so willing to help one another," Coach Mr. Larry Morrissey, said. Defense was strong, improving each week. This improvement was evident as the varsity shut out two of their last three opponents, one of those teams was Millard South, rated No. 6, in the state at the time. The offense was also successful, led by the passing arm of senior quarterback, Kirk Meyer. The "run and shoot" passing formation, with four possible receivers, was brought into the play book specifically for Meyer. Despite being edged out of the playoffs by Ralston, the team seemed satisfied with their season. Perhaps senior running back, Tom Mariucci summarized the season best by saying, "It was fun . We played hard, but we made one critical mistake in losing to South, which proves you should never underestimate an opponent.'' -by Doug Parsonage

Rezac said, " I was shaking all first quarter. but the team helped me relax." Being only a sophomore. Rezac felt pressure about his age. "I felt I had to prove myself to the coach and other members of the team." Rezac said. "but later they accepted it and forgot about my age." "At first the coaches were really sympathetic when I didn't understand the plays. but now they expect me to know it," Rezac said.

mpress1ve record sets top tally for wins

High hopes for state guided the girls' volleyball team to a successful season. "Our record was 23 wins and 4 losses. We had won more games than any other Westside volleyball team," Coach Ms. Ann Royle said. The team competed in three tournaments to start the season. Westside won the first two tournaments including the Lincoln Invitational. "Winning the Lincoln Invitational was a real upper," Chris Young, senior, said. "We really did well in the first tournaments, but after that all we had were duals. It wasn't necessary to be as intense as at the start of the season," Julie Lane, senior, said. Westside finished with a 9-0 dual season record. Royle attributed the success of the team to the fact that they ran their offense well. "We passed better than any team in the state. We converted every ball into an attack," Royle said. According to JV Coach Mr. Howie Halperin, his group of girls was different than any in the last four years. He explained that any combination of 12 people in any type of position and it didn't matter which six he put on the court. "The girls have a lot of team spirit. They root for each other and are very supportive. No group is above another in talent. It's really even," Halperin said, "We improved as a team and all the girls are excellent." Their 12-1 record with a JV volleyball tournament trophy proves him right. - by Karen Kully - by Heather Strait While focusing on the volleyball.

Volleyball

hen girls' high school volleyball is mentioned at Westside and in Nebraska, Colleen Hurley's name often comes to mind. This summer Hurley was chosen along with the other top volleyball players in the state to play on the Nebraska Junior National team. " We played in a tournament in Chicago and the Junior Olympic tournament in Minnesota. We placed seventh in the nation," Hurley said. Hurley said, "I would like to play for a Division I school, and some day I'd like to play on the national team." According to Coach Ann Royle, Colleen is definitely a Division I player. She broke all the records she set her junior year. Hurley's goals are not too far off, and with a lot of hard work and determination, they could be obtained.

Introduction ceremonies at State produce pre-game jitters as the Warriors are introduced.

estside volleyball started 13 years ago and has been coached by Ms. Ann Royle since its inception. "Westside has been very competitive since 1975. We have been in the top ten every year but one," Royle said. According to Royle, volleyball has really improved over the years. "Up until three years ago the team was just happy to make it to state. Then they realized that they were good enough to do well and be competeitive," Royle said. Westside had made it past the first round four out of 12 times. They had been in the semi-finals three times, and in 1985 they were state runner-ups after they lost in the finals.

pening loss to Bulldogs evokes fears, team dismay

With a 25 and 5 record and ranked third going into state the 1986 volleyball team did something unexpected. They lost in the first round against North Platte. The match took three games. North Platte won the first game comfortably 15-6. The second game belonged to W~stside 15-8, and the third game was a fight to the end, with North Platte prevailing 19-17. According to Coach Ms. Ann Royle, Westside didn't play their worst but didn't play their best either. It could have been nerves, and wanting to win too badly. "The last game was so close, North Platte played so much better than we did. If we would have won, we could have taken state. We had prepared for Millard North and Lincoln East and subconsciously looked ahead," Julie Lane, co-captain said. Lane broke the number of set assists with 46 in the match. April Henry had eight blocks, and Chris Young had an outstanding match with 14 kills and only two errors. Lincoln East defeated Millard North in the finals of the tournament. " Lincoln East deserved to win, they only had two losses during the season, and were the most consistent team," Royle said. "It's so hard to look back on the season. It was successful overall. State was one game we didn't do well in," Hurley said. Westside lost five seniors, but according to Royle, they will not have to replace, but rebuild, and they're ready to be tough in 87'. -by Karen Kully

On your marks. Get set. Go. Cross country runners from Westside and South surge forward for a quick start at the Bryan Invitational meet.

Cross Country

twas a successful season for sophomore, Andrea Blackwell. The year began with a victory for Blackwell at the Bellevue West dual meet. Cross country became an interest for Blackwell at an early age. Blackwell's family started running when she was 11 and they soon got her involved. Then she began running with friends. " I run mainly for the relaxing feeling. It relieves a lot of tension," Blackwell said. Blackwell runs from three to six miles a day. She will not be on the cross country team next year because her family is moving to Arizona. "I had a lot of fun here and will really miss my teammates and friends." Blackwell said.

edication key factor according to Patton

The hope of a strong team next year guided the boys' and girls' cross country teams to practice, practice, practice. Mr. Don Patton, cross country coach, said, "Our goal this year was to get competitive and teach cross country skills in order to have a really strong team next year." Scott Foreman, junior, said, "We had a lot of potential this year, but it took too long to figure out how to make it work. At the end of the season, we started getting things to click, but by then it was too late. Next year we should be really good." One problem Patton saw was the lack of self-esteem in the team. Patton said, "We need to develop condfidence. Both the teams were content to set their sights low. But hopefully, that will come in time." This year, the girls placed 11 in state. They were District Champs and National Division Champions. Jenny Walenz, senior, said, "We didn't really work as a team until we got to district, then for State we fell apart again. If we had been more of a "team" we would have done better." However, the guys did not qualify for state. Patton said, "The guys are just now starting to get some team depth. We have a lot of really good underclassmen so we're looking to the future." What does the future hold? According to Patton, having the guys as well as the girls go to district and state. But, said Patton, "Only time will tell." -by Jenny Silvernail Physical fatigue takes its toll on Pat Bloomingdale, senior. as he pushes for that all-desired finish line.

oncentration and daily practice helped Liz Haney, senior, work her way to the top of the girls golf team. Haney has been playing golf competitively for the past five years. " I had always been interested in the sport," Haney said. Haney played on the Ouschensne High School golf team for two years and then transferred to Westside. " Moving schools didin't have much to do with golf, but as it turned out, I was able to play against a better variety of schools with more competition,'' Haney said. Haney is not sure of her plans for the future with golf. "I don't know if I'm planning to continue, there are so many good women golfers, I don 't know if I could handle the hard competition," Haney said.

olf team finishes in flourish at State

Hard work and dedication were two key factors that helped the girls' golf team get off to a swinging start. "The girls worked as hard as any other golf team in the state, both in practice and tournaments,'' Mr. Bill McCormick, girls' golf coach, said. The golf team won three out of the seven tournaments they competed in. They won the Westside/Ralston Invitational, District, and Metro, which consisted of 17 different teams in the city. "It was really exciting winning the three tournaments because the competition was so tough," Stacey Funk, sophomore, said, "We all played really consistent.'' Twice a week, the team competed in dual meets. They compiled five wins and two losses. McCormick said, "Both duals that we lost, we should have won. We just did not play as well as we could have.'' The team placed fourth in State competition, five places better than last year. "Even though we did better than last year, I don't think the team was all that happy about the outcome. We beat the state champs in two earlier competitions so we had the ability to take state," Karen Kully, senior, said. McCormick felt that the team played well this season. "I feel that it was the best season we have ever had. Everyone played up to their ability," McCormick said. -by Beth Hornstein The swing is the key to a good shot.

" My whole family plays, so they kind of go me started. Both of my older brothers played for Westside," Encell said. Encell plays year round tennis. " In the summer I usually play with my friends or in a clinic, but I try to play every day," Encell said. "I really enjoy the sport and the competition is great." Encell hopes to continue playing tennis throughout his life, but competi ting is still a question. " I know I'll play fo r the rest of my life, but competition will probably end for me after college," Encell said.

etmen set 8-1 record in dual competition

Losing the season opener did not diminish the drive of the boys' tennis team. They finished with an impressive 8-1 record . Coach Mr. Paul Nyholm felt athat his team played well throughout the entire season. " We started off with a tough loss, but we didn't let it bother us. Our talent and effort combined to have another successful season," Nyholm said. Senior captains, Andy Davis and Doug Ruge also felt that the team did an excellent job. "Considering how small our team is, we actually did quite well. The huge teams like Burke didn't seem that tough," Davis said . " We managed to hang in there and work together as a team," Ruge said. "Everyone was enthusiastic. " Davis said, "We have some outstanding players and Westside should have a great deal of success in years to come." The team fared well in tournement play. They finished third at Metro and seventh at State. " The boys made a real team effort at State," Nyholm said, " The unified spirit seemed to be one factor in their great record at the tournaments.' ' The team shows a great deal of potential with underclassmen, Dan Simon, Mark Encell, Tarun Banerjee, and Brandon Madson. They all had strong showings in both the Metro and State tournaments. Fortunately, not many seniors will be lost for next year's play. But those seniors who are leaving, plan to continue to play in college. Davis said , " I plan to continue my tennis career and hope whatever college I go to has an outstanding tennis team ." -by Sarah Jenkins

She has also competed with some of the big names in gymnastics, such as, Mary Lou Retton. " Well, it was a lot of fun, but of course I lost," said Swan. As a sophomore, Swan competed for Westside, bu t because of a knee injury, she was required to sit out her junior year. Now, as a senior, she is back on the team. Swan hopes to con tinue com peting throughout college, preferably at the University of Nebraska at L1ncoln.

Beginnings of routines are important to the final score. Linda Livingston, senior, begins her floor rout1ne with a pose.

oad trip to State; first time in 5 years

Depth was a big asset for the girls' gymnastics team as they met their goal of continuous improvement. A total of 25 girls competed for the team, and seven of those were seniors. Coach Mr. Tim Willits said that those seniors had determination, coming from many years of competition, to want to win this year. "Most of these girls I've worked with either in elementary or summer school programs in the past," Willits said. Willits was assisted by Terri Meyers, a former Westside gymnast, because of the number of girls working for the five spots that compete during the meet. That inter-team competition, Willits said, helped with the improvement he saw each meet. The team jumped from 103 points scored in their first meet, to 134. 10 at the district meet, where they placed second. This was the highest point total ever scored by a Westside team. Coach Willits' teams have reached the state meet only three times in his 12-year coaching career, the last time in 1981 . Although individuals have qualified in the past, team competition is what was strived for. Laura Anderson , sen ior, said in mid-season , " We've never done it before. It would be a great experience if we could all go.'' The team fin ished eighth out of eight teams at State, but Willits was please with his teams' performance. " We were disappointed at finish ing eighth, but we had a really good meet over all. "

Flower explained that most wouldn't skip football practice to do homework. "It's almost opposite of what you'd think. When I had football, I made sure I did homework. But once the season was over. I became more layed back and blew homework off." Should grades be a factor as to whether or not the student can participate? Mr. Dick Lundquist. counselor, said that Westside goes by the Nebraska State Activities Association requirement which is minimal. "Everyone who can breathe fits under that." He did state that school districts should create their own requirements. "I think

there should be a reasonably strict eligibility rule for making progress toward graduation," Lundquist said, "If you are behind in graduation credit hours you should be ineligible." He said this would pertain to a few players at Westside. One disadvantage of performing well in both school and sports is pressure. "Pressure as far as athletics is concerned just goes with the program," Morrissey said, "If you can't learn to handle pressure then your performance will never be what you want." Jenny Walenz. senior cross country member, said, thatpressure really affects your ability, "If you're worried about an important asssignment to do that night, you really wouldn't put out your best at practice." As far as school time is concerned, Mr. Bill Nelson, social studies chairman, believes that there is a time for school and a time for sports. -by Heather Strait

state. tit!e was JUnior varsity wrestler Dennis McQuillen's ultimate goal. McQuillen started wrestling in eighth grade. " I played different sports all through junior high. I enjoyed most of them. but wrestling was the biggest challenge to me, so that's the one I stuck with." McQuillen placed first or second in every tournament since eighth grade. "I work hard at practices and it helps when meets and tournaments come around," McQuillen said. McQuillen has no definite plans for college. but would like to do well enough his senior year to get a scholarship. "I would love to wrestle in college but next year is going to be the real test. If I am successful hopefully a school will notice me and offer me a scholarship," McQuillen said.

restlers fight odds with power, weight loss

Strength and power have become the goals of some talented wrestlers. The sophomores and juniors on the junior vaarsity wrestling team are working hard to challenge the odds. Bill Harding, sophomore, is determined to make Westside's name known to other high schools. Because of a gap in the 119 to 132 pounds weight class, Harding has dropped his 145 pounds weight class to 138 for three different meets to fill in the gaps. "Their overall performance has been mediocre." Mr. Don Krehbiel. JV Coach, said. Krehbeil also pointed out how tough it is to win meets with the small number of wrestlers the team has. The team has some wrestlers with good potential for next year's varsity team. They include sophomores Bill Harding, Scott Lapsley, Jim Wilson, and juniors Dennis McQuillen. All had successful wrestling seasons. The will to win has helped the JV team to overcome the lack of wrestlers on the team. Overall, the junior varsity wrestling team compiled a favorable season, winning seven out of nine meets. With the uncontrollable factor that they could not fill all the weight classes, they did poorly in their three dual meets. "We never had enough opponents to wrestle," Krehbiel said. There may be a lack of athletes, but there definitely is not a lack of athletic ability on the JV wrestling team. The team had a healthy season, while always looking ahead to next year and the hopes of maybe making varsity. -by Ellen Behringer

hree dual losses; 8 grapplers go to state

It was a case of good news and bad news. The bad news: the varsity wrestling team lost three dual meets for the first time in 23 years. The good news: eight wrestlers qualified for the state tournament. "It really doesn't matter that we lost the three dual meets. The only important meet is the state meet, Mike Belcastro, senior, said. "Westside always seems to rise up at the right time, Coach Mr. Lou Miloni, said, "and state is definitely the right time. Westside placed fourth in the district tournament. "Our goal was to qualify as many people as we could for state, but Gross, our toughest opponent, was in our district, Miloni said. "Gross may have been our toughest opponent but they didn't stop us from qualifying for state. Four of our team members didn't qualify for state and of those, only one was because a wrestler from Gross beat them, Belcastro said. The season's consistent winners were Mike Belcastro, senior, 145 pounds; Mark Vieceli, senior, 155 pounds; and Matt Vieceli, senior, 167 pounds; Kyle Radek, junior, 138 pounds; Matt Frantzen, sophomore, 98 pounds; Greg Anglim, junior, 119 pounds; Gerry Grant, junior, 132 pounds; and Mike Coniglio, junior, 185 pounds; rounded out the state qualifiers. Although it was a season of ups and downs, and good and bad news, the wrestlers worked hard and came back strong to make it a successful season. -by Karen Kully II

As he regains his breath, Greg Anglim, junior, gets helpful advice from Mr. Lou Miloni.

acrificing Friday nights is a part of the determination it takes to be a member of a varsity high school sport. " It's too hard to go out, we have to get up at 6 a.m. and we have to get a good night's sleep," Mark Vieceli, senior, and member of the varsity wrestling team, said. Mark and Matt Vieceli, seniors, are both members of the varsity wrestling team. Both have been wrestling for nine years. "It was a combination of our two older brothers who wrestled and the coach of St. Thomas Moore Elementary that got us started in the third grade." Matt said. Mark and Matt both wrestled in the Ryan Wrestling Club for five years. The club took them to competition in Mexico for the USA International in

"I have an advantage over those who make JV their sophomore year and varsity their junior year and don't play very much," Lynch said. Playing together (team work) helps bring victory. "We work well as a team," Lynch said. "Some of us have been playing together since junior high, and we know what wach other are capable of doing." The future looks promissing to Lynch. "I plan to work hard all summer and go to basketball camps," Lynch said. "If I make varsity next year. and if I play well, I'm going to take basketball where-ever it leads me."

A break in the action gives Randy Hallett a few seconds to catch his breath before the free throw.

layers' hang time keeps team from wins

Opportunity was there, but the junior varsity boys' basketball team couldn't hang onto it. They started off strong, but the season wasn't as successful as the team would have hoped for. "We started off good, but got into a losing streak," Chris Jones, junior, said. Coach Bob Wilson attributed the losing streak of his team to the fact that at the beginning they played weaker teams and towards the end of the season they were playing tougher teams. Although their record was weak, as a team they had many strengths that will be beneficial for next season. It's nice to have a winning season, but according to Reserve Coach John Graff, it isn't everything. "I don't feel it's .important to win as long as the team could go out, compete, play hard, and have fun, that's all that really mattered. For a team to be successful it must have some key ingredients and Coach Graff felt his team had many. "Our quickness was a key factor on both offense and defense. We rebound well, had good shooters and they worked well as a team," Graff said. Mason Myers, sophomore, felt the same. "We played well and the games we lost were close so we could have been undefeated." The old saying "Whether you win or lose it's how you play the game has disappeared even from some YMCA teams, but Coach Graff coaches by it and it contributed to the success of his team. -by Karen Kully

Crucial free throws. With two seconds remaining in the district finals against Millard South, Jason Wills is fouled . Because he missed the front end of a one and one, Westside needed to use the wild card option to participate in the state tournament.

ockets blasts Warriors out of tournament in first round

A promising start does not always indicate a promising finish. It is even possible that an early winning streak can hurt a team's later chances according to Jason Wills, senior. "In the beginning things were fresh and every game was a different situation. Towards the end, it was the same old thing since we had been winning all of our games. This made it hard to get "up" for every game," Wills said. After its initial loss to Creighton Prep, the team enjoyed an 11 game winning streak. From there, they continued to play well and entered the State Tournament with 18 wins and 4 losses. But the ending at state, a 13 point defeat to Lincoln Northeast and a No. 6 ranking in the state seemed to overshadow earlier team accomplishments. As far as goals and records go, the team was successful. They reached their goal of getting to state and with 18 wins, it had the fourth highest number of wins in Hall's 17 years as coach. Westside also proved their poise throughout the season. According to Hall, the season held many memorable games. One particular highlight was the first win over Burke which was Hall's 250th win. Although the team was somewhat disappointed about state, they were also very proud of their season. "It was fantastic. I wouldn't trade it for the world," Wills said. Coach Hall, as well, was pleased with the season and the players' effort, commenting that the team played just like their practice jerseys read: hard, smart, and together. "They play the way basketball is supposed to be played," Hall said. -by Doug Parsonage Good fans can sometimes make or break a game. Dedicated fans helped Westside earn an 18 and 5 record and a No. 6 state ranking . However. with the 35-48 loss to Lincoln Northeast. at the state tournament, it was hard to get excited.

Since Coach Linda Adamski has been head coach of the girls' basketball team, her players have been primarily juniors and seniors. For the first time in her four years as head coach, sophomores saw a lot of playing time at the varsity level. " We had a well-balanced team. We had good outside shooters, and we were quick. One key ingredient was that they got along well," Adamski said. Naturally with a young, inexperienced team there were a lot of mistakes made. According to Adamski, because of the quickness of her team thay tried to fast break a lot which sometimes resulted in turnovers. "The sophomores have helped, and learned a lot," April Henry, senior, said. For the first time since Adamski has been head coach, the team was rated in the top ten every week. "We should be stronger in the next year or two, so playing sophomores will help in the long run," Adamski said. According to Coach Kim Nielsen, the goals of his junior varsity team set for themselves were what he really wanted to reach. "Our first goal was to learn the basics; then we concentrated on learning to work together as a team and if we reached those goals we hoped to do well," said Nielsen. "We worked together and hard, but the season could have been better. We had great players, but with a new coach and new players we didn't have a very successful season," Brigid Dugan, sophomore, said. -by Karen Kully Aggre ..iveneaa can not only overpower a team, but can also scare one.

nany team, whether it be football or tennis, it is important to have someone on the field or court take charge and be a leader. The girls' varsity basketball team had one such leader, Stet Sacco. Sacco moved to Omaha from Cincinnati, OH, to be a member of the varsity team her junior year. She had played basketball since her freshman year on different teams throughout the Midwest. "I like playing for Westside. I just do what comes natural to me," Sacco said. According to Varsity Coach Ms. Linda Adamski, Sacco's strength was her outside shooting.

Hinkle came to Westside for her senior year after suffering a back injury while training for the olympics. "It was a major setback and I really wanted to get involved in some type of sport," Hinkle said. This is Hinkle's first year involved in diving, but she already has made progress. "It's a very competitive sport, Hinkle said, "It takes a lot of practice." Hinkle definitely plans on continuing with diving in the future. "I'm hoping to receive scholarships," Hinkle said. "I really like the sport and plan on diving during college."

ndividuals work towards main goal: state title

Young and inexperienced team members can hold a team back from competing to its potential, but the girls' swim team overcame the insecurity and had as good a season as ever. "We had a young team. We weren't as confident as last year because no one knew their potential,'' Molly Ames, senior captain, said. The depth was a key to their success, because many swimmers were able to swim more than one event. "We were all supportive of each other and got along well. If someone had a bad workout, everyone was there to make them feel better," Ames said. "We were the best of friends. We had several dinners and even a lock-in to bring everyone closer together. We don't expect five people to carry the team. We all work hard, first for ourselves and then for the team. According to Coach Mr. Doug Krecklow, it was important for the team to work as well together as they did. "With the number of kids, on the team, everyone had different goals, different needs, and different motivations, but everyone's primary goal was to win the state title," Krecklow said. Placing second in Metro to Millard North after defeating them in a dual meet, made the team realize that they had to work harder than the teams the last three years, but that didn't discourage them. "State is altogether a different meet than Metro, and all the others we've been in. We get psyched up a lot more for state. All the other duals and meets are just a way of getting to state," Ames said. -by Karen Kully Take your marks. Ann Marie Hauptman, junior, prepares for her backstroke competition.

oung team, much depth; high hopes for state

Swimming may seem to be an individual sport but as the boys' swim team proved, team unity is the key to success. "Swimming is definitely a team sport, Jeff Spidle, senior captain, said, " We are all in it together. If one person doesn't do his part, the team loses.'' "This year has had some ups and downs just because of the different kinds of people on the swim team, John Pemberton, senior co-captain, said. " Jeff and I have done our best to keep the team in a positve mood. Practicing together and gaining team spirit throughout those practices are a big part of swimming on the team. " During the first part of the season we work on building up our individual as well as team strength. Later on, we work on our own individual events, we become more specialized. This way we are better prepared for the big meets, Spidle said. The team's depth increased with the addition of five new freshman and sophomores, all of whom qualified for state. "We have more numbers this year, Spidle said, "The points we've received for the fourth or fifth place finishes are crucial. "I have been pleased with the year, Coach Doug Krecklow, said. "We have got some young swimmers with the good qualification times that allowed some flexibility, Krecklow said. After a dual record of 5-2, the boys' team went on to place second at the Westside Invitational and second to Burke at the Metro meet. "We have done well this season, Spidle said. -by Lynn Goldner II

He has been swimming for Westside for four consecutive years. " It took a lot of practice and I really had to stick with it," Spidle said. Spidle swims for the Westside Swim Club and for Sunset during the summer. " It's important to continue during the summer to prepare for the upcoming season," Spidle said. Spidle hopes to continue with swimming throughout his college years. " I plan on swimming competitively during college, " Spidle said, " hopefully, I can keep up with my daily practice.

' 4~ estside boys' and girls' swim teams have been coached by Mr. Doug Krecklow for the past eight years. He contributed to the nine consecutive state championships for the boys, and four state championships for the girls. According to Krecklow. Westside swimming has great tradition. During the summer there are a lol of outdoor pools available to train and the money the district has put into swimming has paid off. Not all this can bring state championships, but this added to Coach Krecklow's strategy. "We train harder for longer periods of time. It helps because we have our own pool which we can use at anytime." We train for one, two-day meet at the end of the seasonstate. We don't worry about duals or invitationals. It's nice to win, but our sole purpose is to qualify as many people as we can

irls make it four in a row; dynasty falls as boys get 2nd

While one swimming dynasty fell, another picked up speed as the boys fell to second place in state for the first time in ten years and the girls won their fourth straight championship. The boys also finished second in the Metro meet at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Burke won the meet and the girls fell to Millard North. "We didn't train any differently for state than we did for Metro, but mentally we were different. We train for state all season, it is the only meet that matters," Ann Marie Hauptman, junior, said. Throughout the state meet the boys fluctuated from second to fourth. The girls held the No. 1 spot throughout the meet except after the diving competition placed them two points behind Burke. After Marnee Dietrich, sophomore, won the 100 breaststroke, in an All-American consideration time, the girls never had to look back. For the boys, however, it was a different story. "We were down and we knew we had to catch up, but after the 500 freestyle when Lincoln Southeast got first and second and we got third, all we were trying tor was second place," Shane Fitzsimmons, senior, said. Victory for the Warriors was not as sweet as in years past when both teams were victorious. "Even though we won, it wasn't as great as when we both won last year. When everyone jumped into the pool, I didn't feel like it at all," Hauptman said. At the conclusion of the meet Chad Sitzman, junior, held up the second place boys' trophy and said, "Never again." Look, moml For the fourth year in a row the Westside Warrior girls' swim team hold the state title as well as the state trophy in their hands.

Intramural&

ot everyone has a chance to be in a varsity or junior varsity sport, but that doesn't exclude people from being a member of a team. Although they don't come with the prestigious varsity name, Westside has two teams that anyone can join; homeroom volleyball and intramural basketball. Homeroon volleyball started in 1975. It costs each homeroom $1 to enter and that money is spent on the prize for the winner of the tournament. According to coordinator Ms. Ann Royle, "the purpose is to allow students to get to know each other and work together as a team.'' "I think it's fun. It is a change from just sitting around doing nothing, and everyone can get involved," Jenny Walenz, senior, said. Another team at Westside is intramural basketball. Intramural basketball started over 25 years ago. It took place two nights a week and was refereed by the faculty. Now games are

played once a week and are refereed by members of the boys' varsity basketball team. "I really enjoy 'reffing' the games and having a chance to be a part of such verbal abuse. lntramurals give people who don't want to take sports seriously a chance to play," Jason Wills, senior, said. According to Mr. Bob Moscrey, coordinator, the popularity of intramurals has stayed about the same for the boys, but has decreased for girls. "When I was a sophomore there were a lot of teams so there was more competition, but this year there are only three teams. It's fun, but it is too bad more people didn't get a team together," Lynn Goldner, senior, said. Everyone should get a chance to be a member of a team whether it be competitive or non-competitive, and programs such as these give everyone the opportunity. -by Karen Kully

A strong serve is the key to scoring points. Garett Voecks, senior. warms up before an intense homeroom volleyball game during the tournament in February.

" We joined homeroom volleyball because it's fun and it got our homeroom together so we got to know each other." Dan Marquardt senior

"I play intramural basketball because it breaks the monotony of regular school nights." Alysia Donscheski - senior

A bad call provokes Randy Frykberg. JUnior. to show his disgust at a referee . Varsity basketball players courageously served as referees for intramurals.

Smooth follow-through keeps the ball in play while Tim Larsen. senior. works out at racquetball.

Are off-season sports more fun or competition? " I do off-season sports for recreation and competitive fun , but not for any real competitive achievement." Dirk Hofschire junior

" More competitive. You put in a lot more time, if you want to keep up with other players." Matt Jordan junior

Form and timing are the keys to saving a shot . Mark Vap, junior, practices his goalie techniques to prepare for a hockey game.

100 Off-Season Sports

Suspense is in the air at the Indoor Soccer Center. Doug Fehr, Evan Williams, seniors, Jon deNcurie, Mark Cuda, juniors. and Dave Carl, senior. anxiously await to see if the opposing team will score a goal.

Athletes schedule training

hether playing for fitness, trying for a scholarship, or just playing for the fun of it, sports are an important part of many peoples' lives. Some sports aren't as widely played and/or as popular as school-sponsored sports, but they are still participated in by some people and to them this is important. These off-season sports are sometimes affected by weather, so some take their interest to indoor courts. The indoor soccer courts on 120th and Maple is a popular spot for many of Westside's soccer players. "You form your own team, sign up, and play,'' Shane Yost, junior, said. "We play one game a week, but to reserve the court for practice time costs extra." Indoor soccer is played with six players and the experience is completely different than that of outdoor soccer. Another sport commonly played outside of school is

hockey. It is played only in the winter and played by some just for recreational purposes. Peder Bartling, junior, belongs to the Omaha Metropolitan Area Hockey Association (O .M.A.H .A .). The O.M.A.H.A. team is located at the Hitchcock Ice Rink where they play twice a week. Rolf Grage, senior, inspired by watching "Iron Man," got involved in triathalons. This sport includes a series of three races, swimming, biking, and running. "I compete about twice a month," Grage said. "They (the races) are held anywhere around Omaha and sometimes in Council Bluffs.'' These races work on strengthening all parts of the body. "If you want to train for it, it's an individual effort," Grage said. People are involved in sports all-year round. No matter what the season, athletic training is evident. -by Ellen Behringer

After months of summer practice. girls' cheerleaders had the chance to show off their mounts at the fall sports pep rally.

hat are students with individual personalities, needs, and interests to do? "Join a club get involved," is a typical response. With 32 such diversions there is something for everyone. Clubs prove to be not o work, but to be filled with laughter, and friends. However, without participation in these zations many activities wo no longer exist. Thanks SAB, Westside held its first outdoor dance. Thanks to a joint cooperation between Forum and SAB, Westside was able to raise its goal for the United Way Drive. The key to success with many clubs was participation and personal commitment, not necessarily constant work. A lot of the time a meeting was just an excuse to get together to gossip, laugh, have a great time, and to be assured that it doesn't get any better than this.

Mrs. Pat Hutchings, Peer Advocates sponsor, said Peer Advocates is a group of students who volunteer their time to spend with special education students.

. Clubs extend learnin8 beyond classes ~k

Classroom learning. It's 7;:~ what the average education is . based on. But a classroom·, based education is often limited. There are important topics ._.:. which must be overlooked because of a lack of time. Be: · cause of this, many organiza~:.· tions have evolved which ~ . make an effort to extend ·.. -:~ classroom learning. : ·. International Club, Junior ."~ Classical League, and lntercir: 1 cuit are three such organiza.:., tions. . . "This year our emphasis is ~ away from traditional Frenc;;h

"This is especially difficult because many second and third year students don't have time to keep up with Latin. The club first is a service group, but secondly it promotes the Classics (Greek and Roman cultures)," Mr. Robert Koneck-Wilcox, JCL sponsor, said. lntercircuit, the computer

club is also an important club in expanding education. "In a classroom you can't look at the other types of equipment. But in the club, there is time for it," Mr. Dennis Mcintyre, lntercircuit sponsor, said. Although it is almost impossible to cover everything , classroom organizations like International Club, Junior Classical League and lntercircuit help to fill the gap. -by Doug Parsonage

change from school. It sounded like a lot of fun and a great experience," Heather Simmons, senior, said. Both clubs practiced once a week. Chess Club had a league play every Tuesday during first semester. They would play chess against other schools in the Metro. On the other hand Sub-surfers just competed against each other. "In the spring there was a contest between all the members competing for plaques," Mr. Harley Hardison, Sub-surfer sponsor, said. Obstacle courses and

"The main purpose of the club was to learn skills in both skin and scuba diving and just have fun," Hardison said.

Involvement, dedication, and time are all essentials required of a club. But what else do "off the wall" clubs have in common? Sub-surfers and Chess Club are two such clubs. The only common characteristic they shared other than having the normal practices and dues, were that they were classroom extensions. They enabled students to go beyond everyday classroom activities, by involving themselves in activities that wouldn't be performed in class. "I joined Sub-surfers for a

The Distributive Education Clubs of America and Future Business Leaders of America chapters at Westside have one main common tie - they are both co-curricular clubs available to students. But the similarities stop there. FBLA is a straight business club and to be a member students must have taken, or be enrolled in a business course. DECA on the other hand

rior Voices was at 73, but it · has been as high as 87," Schuler said. "Chamber Choir ~ can run from 14 to 22 voices '. depending on the balance we~~. need." ;; "I think this year has been very, very good with a lot of exceptional singers," Shuler said. Looking ahead for further . achievements, Shuler said, · " We always plan to be better · than we are. That's our future _.,. goal." -by Heather Strait

volved can really affect the overall performance. "I think Mr. Schuler was a little more selective this year. the choir as a whole is stronger and tends to pick up music easier which makes rehearsals go a lot faster," Jeff Bateman, junior, member of both Warr ior Voices and Chamber Choir, said. Warrior Voices is a course in wh ich an auditorium is required to meet certain standards. Chamber Choir is made up of selected students already in Warrior Voices. " War~~i\'¥ '·

Obtaining research skills, critical thinking, writing skills, and public speaking are communication skills which make the debate and speech team different from other clubs and classes. The 45 members of the debate and speech team learned these skills and more from coaches Mr. Joel Heim, debate, and Mr. Larry Fortney, speech. "Debate takes a lot of time," David French, debate captain, said, "but it's great

.,.·

having Heim as a teacher." Heim, in his fifth year at Westside, has made his debaters into some of the best in the state. Heim believes debate also improves the atmosphere of other classes. In his debate classes, Heim teaches debate theory, along with judging practice rounds. In addition, Fortney instructs the students once a week to sharpen their speech skills. What's Heim's greatest thrill in teaching debate?

estside students work towards excellence and most obtain it. Westside rates above average on ACT and SAT scores, in the number of scholarships awarded, and has a high percentage of college bound seniors (over 75 percent). True, not all report bring an "A" average. eryone ends up being val torian. But, that is not im tant. What is important is th everyone works toward individual improvements. Of course everyone has a bad day when the pressure, frustration, and failures (like a "D" on the Pre-Calculus quiz or a ''C'' on the essay for Literary Masterpieces) seem overwhelming. However, the events of that one bad day seem trivial when looking back on all the knowledge gained and all the fun times had while learning it. In Academics, it doesn't get any better than this.

A junior returns for a second year, only this year will probably hold the most rigorous schedule of all the high school years. A senior saunters in with a relaxed aire showing on the outside, but on the inside knowing

this year could determine scholarships, colleges, and the future. These three individuals are separated by age difference, but one thing bonds them together; they all face tension and pressure throughout the year. Pressure can result from adjusting to new classes, surviving teachers, and hearing the all-to-familiar word, exam. Joe Luby, junior, defined pressure as a constant cycle. He said, "It (pressure) starts out and it is not too bad. Then, it

starts to culminate. Eventually, you can't handle it anymore and you explode." One of the most dreaded jobs for every student is that of studying for and taking exams. Once this task is complete, the pressure of having to wait to see if you even passed, exists. Kara Stillmock, junior, said, "I feel the most pressure before I take a test. I'm the type of person who will get a "D" on a quiz and then say now I need to get an "A" on the next one. That can be very nerve wracking. It can also be hard typing to figure out what exactly to study.路路 Students just get used to their work load in a particular class, their teachers and teaching styles, and the expectations each teacher has, when the end of the semester arrives and it's time to start all over again. There are some who stay up until 3 in the "'orning trying to meet homework deadlines. There are some who, no matter how hard they try, can never seem to adjust to new classes. There are some who can study for hours to prepare for an exam and still bomb it. There are some who cannot relate to teachers or understand why they demand so much. However, the tension and pressure all students face at some time, no matter how great or small, is the common denominator. -by Kim Johnson

hand, give students a chance to get involved. "In lab, the students get to hear, see, feel, and sometimes smell what they are learning. Therefore, the chances of them remembering what they are learning are greater," Dr. Jim Findley, principal, said. In lab class, such as Zoology, students work together, do experiments, prove theories, explain how things work, have fun, and are always busy. The instructor, no longer standing in front lecturing, has fun also answering questions, helping explain things, demonstrating experiments, and getting involved with the students. The students get a chance to apply what they learned in small group and from large group lectures to real life. "Mr. Harley Hardison is my Geology lab

'Computations Disks drive students crazy s technology advances, the use of computers has become an absolute necessity. Westside realizes the need to incorporate computers into their educational system. According to Mr. Dennis Mcintyre, instructional computer coordinator, the school has approximately 80 computers and has invested at least

$100,000 in them. Computers can be found throughout the building and are used in several courses. Advanced Accounting classes are using the computers to create a complete simulation of bookkeeping and accounting. "A lot of simulations are being used in classes. Their purpose is to try to give students a better understanding of how things are run in the

real world," Mcintyre said. Another computer-oriented business course, in its first year, is Computer Applications in Business. "It is a single semester course which takes the students through the three major business computer applications: data base , spread sheets, and word processing," Mcintyre explained. The newspaper and yearbook staffs have also recently begun to take advantage of computers. "Instead of having to send stories on copy sheets, we now set our own type and send all copy in on computer disks," Mr. John Hudnall, journalism instructor, said. Dr. Don Meredith, Advanced Placement U.S. History instructor, is re sponsible for doing districtwide research projects such as computer surveys, through which he can de-' termine what new programs the schoE>I should acquire. When speaking of his role in, the computer center, Meredith said, "I run around putting out fires. Whenever students get stuck and need help, I try to get them back on track again." " The most important advantages of the computer system is that they allow us to do some things better, some things quicker, and they also allow us to do things we've never done before," Mcintyre said . With such advantages as these in mind, expect to see even more computers in the classroom in the future. -by Doug Parsonage

Teaching techniques Skits keep students awake

Techniques Teachers tell tall tales earn-teaching is a fairly new idea that has arrived in almost every department. The concept is designed to prevent teacher burn-out and to provide an extra viewpoint. However, students often times disagree on whether or not team-teaching is effective. "Team-teaching doesn't work. The teachers end up disagreeing with each other and I don't learn much," Mary Gaines, sophomore, said. However, Tony Demaria, junior, disagrees. "Team teaching is great. You get a different point of view from the other teacher." Teachers believe that team-teaching is helpful to

To read about art is fine, but to see it up close is to understand as Mr. Tom Hall points out distinguishing pictures in these works. Instructors at Westside have various styles of teaching as Mr. Harley Hardison demonstrates.

them. "It helps by giving me another adult to consult with (all the time)," Mr. Bill Nelson, World History instructor, said. What separates a good team from a bad team? "Teams have to evolve. They can't be thrust upon one-another. Teachers should teach side-by-side for awhile, then work into a team situation," said Mr. Bob Klein, physics instructor. Besides being beneficial to the teachers, teamteaching can give an added advantage to the student. "Team-teaching allows the kids to seek out the teacher they can best relate with,"

Klein said. Team-teaching g teachers a chance to more humor tluring lectures. The physics teaching duo of Dr. Lang and Klein are ous for humor. Their dents were stunned the year when, boring lecture, they peared as ~alileo and Modern. With more being created, Tt:>~om-TQolll! ing might become teaching technique of future.

Procrastination Waiting 'til the exhausting deadline rantically typing the final draft of the research paper, the alarm clock comes into view. The time reads 1:45 a.m. Brewing another pot of coffee and popping another NoDoz, the question arises, "Why didn't I start this sooner?'路

This scene or something similar is a frequent occurrence for students. "For some reason I always wait to do my assignments at the last minute." Mike Grier, junior. said, "but most of the time I can still do okay on the assignment." Although many times students are able to finish their own "research paper" and are not affected by procrastination, twice during the year, students are directly confronted with it. During October and March, the dreaded parent-teacher conferences occur. During these times, parents find out exactly what has been "blown off" or what assignments have received poor grades from instructors. They see the final grade and make their child wish that the assignments had been accomplished. "Some students continue to go to class without having their work done," Mrs. Maryanne Ricketts, counselor, said. Although procrastination

is_ not the wisest method , oftentimes it appears in daily routines. ':It only I would procrastinate less," Kim Johnson, junior, said, "it would make school much easier and I would spend fewer late-nights studying.'' Procrastination is also used by students who want to go on vacations. Although students get white slips (permission slips that must be signed by all teachers) to go on their trips, many times these are signed on the last possible day. In addition, students have a hard time making up missed work. "It was a big pain getting all the work done after I missed school," Scot Aita, junior, said, "I had to work twice as much." Procrastination has been made a part of Westside by students of all grades. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors have mastered this technique which in one way or another, always catches up to them. -by Tod~ Ellwetn

Making the grade

Battling ttough' elements

hrough SAT and ACT's, college applications, minimum competencies, and difficult class, like senior composition, students suffer to get ahead. In past years, Westside has placed near the top of the nation in SAT and ACT scores. Westside last year averaged 480 in verbal and 557 in math. This compares favorably to a national average of 431 in verbal and 475 in math. In the ACT's, Westsides' scores

were higher than 92 percent of other schools in the nation. Colleges use scores on these tests in determining acceptance of high school students. "SAT and ACT scores have always been an important factor to schools. It shows a student's probable chance of success," Mr. Lynn Hansen, college counselor, said. Minimum competencies are tests which every student must pass in order to graduate. Taken all three years, competencies test a students, basic knowledge of seven sub-

ject areas. These areas include, math, reading, written communication, oral communication, consumerism, problem solving, democratic process, and future life planning. Certain competencies are considered more difficult than others. "Consumerism was the most difficult for me," Kara Stillmock, junior, said. Doug Parsonage, junior, agrees, "Consumerism was the toughest because I actually had to study for it. It was the only one where common sense alone didn't necessarily pull you through." In addition to completing all of the competencies. seniors are burdened with the reality of college applications and senior composition. Together, they make the senior year one of late nights and migraine headaches. After deciding what colleges to apply to. a student must fill out a variety of complex applicatioins. For senior composition, students are often found digging through the resources at the University 路bf Nebraska at Omaha library. "Comp requires a lot of outside time," John Chapin, senior, said, "Many times it is necessary to do research at the university library." Because of many tough requirements placed on students. Westside academically pushes its students. However, most are able to make the grade. -by Todd Ellwein

The cutting edge Noticing major scheduling differences place,·' Michelle Carkoski, junior, said, "At other schools, they have to be some place at all times - if they don't have class, they have a study hall." Most schools in the Omaha area have seven periods a day, each consisting of a class or study hall. Study halls, unlike Instructional Materials Centers (IMC's). are strictly supervised like a class. with no talking and no freedom to come and go. Even lunch mods are structured. Stu-

The Quld•nce Center provides a perfect escape for Shelley Novotny. junior. to plan her future.

dents have to eat lunch with the same class group every day. Schedules are the same, day after day. Sound boring? David Jacobson, a former Westside student who now attends Millard South agrees that he would rather go to Westside. "I hate the scheduling here," Jacobson said. "You don't get any free time to do what you want." Westside really is a better school," Jacobson said, "you don't realize it until after you leave it. I don't have the choice of going to Westside anymore.·' As a sophomore, schedules are more restricted with more classes and less time for freedom. But the freedom still exists and the sophomores use their time to their own advantanges. Juniors have more freedom than sophomores, yet harder classes and more homework. "When I was a junior I never r~ally took advantage of my time for studying," Chris Young, senior said. "Now, as a senior, I'm really working hard on my open time.·· Seniors have tough classes and lots of free time. It sounds so much better, but the homework is atrocious. "I should have taken more time for studying last year," Young said, "Colleges look most at your junior year." The whole point of modular scheduling is the freedom. "The older you get, the more freedom you have," Carkoski said. Continued on page t53

The Cutting Edge

The cutting edge With IMC's, who needs a study hall? h a t d 0 students ''do'' with their free time? Where do they go? IMC's, or the Cafeteria? Students get to decide where to spend their free time without being forced into any certain space. The place to be for "popular" people is the Social Studies IMC. "The SS is the place for popular people," Young said, "If YIJU're in the 'in crowd,' the SS is the place to go. It's just a fact." What makes Westside on the cutting edge? The cafeteria? "If everyone had open campus the cafeteria would close down," Carkoski, said, "the only thing safe to eat is the pre-packaged junk food .'' Not only is it used for lunch mods, but it is open all day. "Students go to the cafeteria to eat and do what they please," Carkoski said . " You can be as loud and obnoxious as you want ." "There isn't any strict supervision , just someone there to make sure nobody gets killed or the place doesn't blow up," Carkoski said, "What other school has that?" "The people who go there aren't afraid to be themselves and they aren't concerned with fashion or music," Young said . "They

don't like to be stereotyped, but they stereotype us too," Young said. What else makes Westside different? Bouncers. Westside has three building supervisors (bouncers) who "stalk" the hallways and school grounds, trying to keep students from leaving school when they shouldn't be. Passes are easily obtained for free mods, but more often than not, students don't bother with passes, they just leave. "At Millard South," Ja-

cobson said, "we have hall monitors who keep the halls clear. It's like "Funky Winkerbean" "Going to another school would be like going back to junior high," Carkoski said, "at Westside, we have freedom and responsibility. Students here get to decide whether or not they take the chance of leaving." With all this and more, Westside can truly be called on "The Cutting Edge". -by Diana Bishop

Open mods give Jim Wright, sophomore. a chance to grab some food at Countryside Pharmacy.

ear Parent and Student . The 1987-88 school year is special for al l of us at Westside. We will welcome approximately 400 new sophomores and 340 new freshman graciously to the always-expanding Westside family. Natually, with the growth of a family, we must also allow some members to depart. I hope all students will join me in wishing my best to all Westside educators who seek new challenges at other district schools or 1hrough seeking new employment. This handbook is your ticket to one of the most prestigious titles in the world - a Westside education. If you have any quest1ons about the material contained in this booklet, direct them to our competent counseling staff, or to one of Westside's newly appointed administrators- there should be several available at all times. Feel free to speak to me on any of my afternoon jaunts surveying the proud Westside Warriors battle in the on-going fight against ignorance. I encourage the parent and student to review and discuss the course offerings contained in this booklet. Consider challeng1ng courses 1n order to portray yourself and your school as serious about education. Courses in this booklet are ranked according to a number formula. Questions about this formula can be directed to the Math Department. The strength of Westside lies 1n its teaching staff. With our decreased staff this year, we hope to have a more intimate environment with teachers. students. and administrators acting as an alliance with a common goal of making Westside the best that it can be - to make "Westside Graduate" a sign of knowledge and respectable character. Please feel free to contact me personally with any questions you may have concerning school or just life in general. We adm1n1strators have a wealth of knowledge and experience just waiting to be tapped. Ask around. I'm sure someone will know where I am. Please allow me to further your education as much as possible. Very Sincerely, James E. Findley principal

Westside rates with above average ACT T scores, in the numo make honor roll, and number of scholarships awarded. They are an active group of people who are involved in 32 different clubs. They are the ones who go to state for volleyball and swimming. They are the ones who receive recognition in journalism, art, and foreign languages. Westside students are an elite group - people who are over-achievers, enthusiastic, and just fun to be with. They make the good times better and the bad times non-existent. It doesn't get any better than this.

Kenoyation plans help prepare for new arrival of ninth graders

Many questions need answering. Mr. Bill Krueger, who will be the new science department head, talks with Mr. Les Sladek, middle school principal, about the move to Westside.

Planning for the ninth grade's arrival at Westside has been taking place for over a year. Before they arrive, chan~et will need to be made concerning renovation and space. "In two years time the building will have a total facelift," Dr. Jim Findley, principal, said. "We've spent a lot of time planning and proposing new ideas of rebuilding." Hours of discussing plans with the board of education and architects, and going over and over laxouts, can overwhelm a person. "People don t realize how much time we are actually putting into this," Findley said. "It's taking a lot of spare time." The summer will mark the beginning of all the work. Plans are to be put into action. The Recreational Gym will have new additions. "We plan on improving the walls and sound, it will have new flooring and lights," Findley said. "The back wall will be taken out and redone, and the wrestling area will be changed also. Plus, the gym will receive new doors." "In the business wing, the rooms will be changed to special education rooms," Findley said. "They will all have new ceilings and paint jobs, the floor will be recarpeted, and the hall will have all new lockers-much like the changes we made last summer in the math wing."

The Business IMC will be moved. "Where itis now, we are going to build classrooms," Findley said. " The rooms will be foreign language classes. Where the foreign language classes are now will be more special education classes." "All of this will be redone, even Autos will have their electrical and mechanical systems rebuilt,'' Findley said. ''They will also receive new outside doors, and the whole area will have a new heating system put in. All the corridors are going to be rebuilt in this area." Another proposal is being made concerning the uprer science wing. "Those classes by the anima lab room will be done also," Findley said. "Provided the budget can handle it. " "The renovation is going to be quite extensive and time consuming," Findley said. "Our biggest problem is going to be trying to find somewhere to put all the desks and supplies from these areas. We have to have everything moved out three or four days after school gets out. That's not much time." Other problems arise. "We have to inventory all the junior highs' suppplies," Findley said, "and decide what goes where and what is going to be brought up to the high school for use up here. It will take a lot of extra time and work."

Sladek expresses optimism for middle school Along with the reorganization of Westside, comes the reorganization of the district's junior high schools, Arbor Heights, Valley View, and Westbrook. The decision made was that both Valley View Junior High and Westbrook Middle School, will be closed leaving what is currently Arbor Heights to become a middle school housing the seventh and eighth graders. Westside Middle School was the name unanimously selected by the board of education Monday, Jan. 19. As explained at the meeting by Dr.

Kenneth Hansen, superintendent, the name was chosen in order to clarify the school so that people would know that it was in District 66. With the coming of the new school, there was a position to be filled. Mr. Les Sladek, the current principal of Westbrook will become principal at the new middle school. The consolidation of the junior highs promises to offer many new responsibilities to Sladek which he sees as a " challenge. " "There will be many details to work out such as the new

busing system, (students who live west of Interstate 680 or north of Dodge Street may choose if they want to be bused to school), the new curriculums, and lots of parent orientations. There will also be much information giving for the first couple of years," Sladek said. "But most of these are not problems, they are just new details that must be worked out. " Because of the increased size and consolidation into just one school, Sladek sees many advantages that the new middle school will have over the

present junior high schools. According to Sladek, the middle school will have enough students in two grades to offer a more comprehensive schedule. The scheduling of classes will also be easier to do. " Overall, it will be a much more efficient program ," Sladek said. As of now, only the new name of the school has been decided. Things such as school colors, nicknames, and logos, are still up in the air. According to Sladek, the school board's intention is to wait until fall and then allow the new

students to work on these matters. Beside, minor details such as these, most everything else is worked out and Sladek remains very excited and optimistic about the middle school. "My hope is to end up with a school much better than the three excellent schools that we already have," Sladek said. " In a nutshell, I think the new school will stand on its own uniqueness and excellency and will not be a clone of any existing school. 0...__

District consolidates junior highs The focus of strategic planning is the future , not the present. District 66 was one of the pioneer public school systems to embark upon an extensive strategic planning process in the spring of 1983. One of the three main reasons for the study was to redesign the facility structure to house a smaller student population. The first proposal of the strategic planning committee was to close elementary schools instead of junior highs . Dr. James Tangdall , associate superintendent, said, " We had thought about closing two and possibly three elementary schools ; Prarie Lane, Underwood Hills and we were thinking of also closing Sunset.'' However, this proposal was abandonded in favor of one that would close the junior highs. " We held three public hearings and several committee meetings to which the public was invited," Tangdall said. " We wanted to know what the community thought of the proposed elementary schools closing. The public was more in favor of having a seventh and eighth grade center, moving the ninth grade to Westside and closing the unneeded junior highs. " The board of education adopted the final plan December 3, 1984. Westside and District 66 may not be as forwardlooking as some believe. The proposal to bring ninth graders to Westside is in all actuality a thing from the past. Westside was built in 1952 and was the center for grades seven through twelve until 1960 when

Westbrook, the first of three junior high schools opened. Arbor Heights was next to come in 1962 and Valley View was opened in 1964. For several years Westside was home to approximately 1000 freshmen , sophomores, juniors, and seniors. At the time of the first ninth grade split, there were 1750 students. It has only been since 1960 that Westside has had a student body consisting of grades ten through twelve. School consolidation became a hot topic as the years of Westbrook, Valley View, and Arbor Heights drew to a close. Countless board meetings were spent in discussions concerning the pros and cons of consolidation. But as the consolidation became a reality, residents were forced to accept the consequences. Dr. Ken Hansen, superintendent, felt there were no real disadvantages to the closings. Hansen said, " There are mostly advantages, but obviously there are a few 'disadvantages'. The main problem is that of distance. By getting students out of their old neighborhoods there may be a loss of neighborhood unity." Another potential problem Hansen saw was compensating for a larger student body. " We'll have to expanCl programs so that everyone who wants to participate can. We're afraid students won't have as many options to participate in activities unless they're extremely motivated and extremely talented and that's not always good," Hansen said. " There are a lot of students with an average ability in a sport that might be cut from a team because they are onlv average. We'd like to see average olavers improve

while playing on a team ." These disadvantages were not serious enough to hinder the consolidation plans. " The advantages outweighed the disadvantages. We can now provide a better academic program and that is very desirable," Hansen said. " Also if cost is a factor, this will cut down school S,J?ending enormously and taxpayers are pleased wtth that. In fact , overall there are more advantages than disadvantages and that's why we went ahead with the closings." After looking at enrollment projections, it was determined that now is the time for action. " Westbrook has been too small for the last several years and the enrollment at Valley View contjnues to decline," Hansen said. " We felt all three schools were becoming too small to offer real benefits for the students. We felt that now was the best time to make the necessary changes. " One of the necessary changes made was that of transportation to the new middle school. Hansen said, " We'll be busing students from Westbrook and the Prairie Lane area to the middle school next year." " Of course not everything~has been decided. Hansen maintains a wait-and-see attitude on particulars such as cheerleaders. Hansen said, " If we have any at all, they'd be eighth grade girls." Despite all the controversy, the plans have been made and are now being carried out. With the renaming of Arbor Heights to Westside Middle School, the consolidation became a finalitv.

•

Modular scheduling rema1ns When an estimated 400 new freshman students are included into a school of around 1500 ten to twelfth graders with an open-modular arrangement, quite a mess of confusion can arise. That is, of course, until these modular schedules are presented to them with their only choice of having restricted study modules. Now this presents a whole new outlook. "The freshmoo schedules will be the same as any other high school students in the terms of modular scheduling. However, each ninth grader first semester will have all of their open time accounted for," Mr. Gary Cunningham, counselor, said. He explained that they will be assigned to the Student Study Center (SSC) during all of their open mods. Cunningham, said the center may be divided into three or four areas. "Each area of the sse will be reserved for different types of activities," Cunningham said. He explained that one area may be used for just study and another for learning study skills. Another option may be to have academic counseling for students who might need help scheduling courses. "Freshman will have the same classes as in the j~or

• if they have time for highs, but with a few more options them,'' Cunningham said. ''This is a big benefit. Students will have more of a variety of courses to choose from." The minimum number of mods the freshmen will be enrolled at per semestef1s 34. This is two more compared to the..32 that are required of the sophomores. "On the average the freshmm. will have seven classes; many will have eight," Cunningham said. One difference the freshman might experience is that they will be doing all of their work outside of class. "The teachers will most likely lecture for a full mod. This is unlike the junior highs where half of the time is spent lecturing and the other half for individual work," Cunningham said. Second semester will give the opportunity of receiving "open" time for selected students. This privilege will be given to students with good grades, no tardies, and who aren't caught out of the building, etc. "Basically, it will refer to just behavioral problems," Cunningham said. He feels that most will not qualify. "Over half will be assigned to the sse all year. Hopefully, this will encoura~e students to want to behave and handle their open time. '

Findley optimistic about ninth graders

Dr. James Findley, principal

Ninth grade at Westside. It's the talk of the year. New classes, new teachers, younger faces, different ideas and hopefully optimistic results. Westside's principal, Dr. Jim Findley, faces changes in the future. "With the coming of the ninth grade," Findley said, "They're bringing many changes. But they're not really problems. There are just a few rough spots that we have to deal with." One of the main problems is the scheduling of the ninth grade. "Many students have been concerned with losing freedom," Findley said. "We are trying to arrange things so that the scheduling of the ninth grade doesn't affect the other

students." Heavier scheduling will be required. "The structure is going to produce a .P.roblem," Findley said. 'Modular scheduling was not made for so many classes. But, the freshman won't have very much individual time." "Older students don't have anything to worry about next year," Findley said. "We'll still have open campus for seniors like we have now. They don't need to worry about an eight period day." Another problem that Findley must face is a new staff. "We have many new teachers coming up," Findley said, "and many switches of postitions on staff. For those who haven't taught at

Westside, it will take a lot of orientation to get them adjusted to Westside's precedures." More students, more responsibility? "It's not really that much different," Findley said. "Except for the fact that next year half the student body will be new. That's a lot of people who are going to need to adjust." "I won't have much more responsibility than now," Findley said, "the main difference is the larger numbers. We have 1470 students now, and next year we'll have 1800 instead." The main objective is whether or not the move is successful. "The big concern is that the curriculum is ap-

propriate," Findley said, "and that the staff is well trained to the new methodS!' Many problems and changnes must be faced. As a principal, it's a big job. But next year, Findley won't be alone to face these problems. Westside will .be adding two new principals to the administrative team. Five others will be facing these problems as well. Dr. Lee Perkins, the present principal of Arbor Heights Junior High, will become vice principal. Dr. John Crook, current principal of Valley View Junior High will be joining Mr. Bill Schleifer, Mr. Ron Huston, and Mr. Roger Herring as assistant principals. N

Teacher location plans will force adjustments Not only is shuffling essential in the game of cards, but it becomes a necessity as far as teachers are concerned in the consolidation. Now that freshman will be coming to Westside, an arranging of teachers' positions must be made. "The number of students enrolled will be a basis for the number of teachers we will have on staff," Dr. Jim Tangdall, associate superintendent, said. Because teachers will be added to Westside's staff from the junior highs, a reductionin-force will be necessary. "We will be reducing down about 13 secondary teachers (7-12 grades) in the district," Tangdall said. "The cuts will be made in accordance with the state law which is based on seniority." This reducing of staff has been labeled as the Reductionin-Force (RIF) policy. "When terminated, they are put on a recall list for the next two years, and will be offered a job if an opening comes up," Tangdall said, "If they decline because, for example; they found another teaching job, they are removed from the list. " Arranging of teacher pasitions may be done to save jobs. "We work hard to try to get teachers placed in other departments where they might be endorsed if it will save another person's job from getting cut." He explained that they have spoken to teachers individually and have tried to place them where they prefer, or according to the needs of the district. This "shuffling" can become a game in itself as the number of teachers coming and going are hard to keep track of. In addition to the teachers that are lost because of the RIF policy, there are Westside teachers transferring 'out' to the 7-8 grade center, and ninth grade teachers transferring 'in' to the high school. An estimated 21 additional teachers will be coming toWestside and a posibility of no more than five t~ansferrin.g o~t. Ther~ are yet m~re

Westside teachers switching positions with those located at the Alternative School. "Everyone else will stay at the same level, " Tangdall said. "Obviously, more teachers will be going to the high school, because that is where the new freshman will be located." All departments will be organized much in the same way, except for a few changes in leadership roles. "In most cases the leadership change will be requested from the individuals," Tangdall said. Mr. Lloyd Kilmer, new English department head, explained that team leaders in the past were considered as people who headed the large groups, but now they will have a bigger job. "In essense they will help to manage a group of teachers who are on the most part split by the individual grade levels.'' He added that these four new leaders in the English department will help make the staff on a whole more comfortable with the new surroundings and changes. "The math department will have very little change," Mr. AI Gloor, head of the math department, said. He explained no one will be cut and one person will be added. "For that person it will be a new arena," Gloor said, "Newness for the additional teacher will be operating in an atmosphere of modular scheduling." In the social studies department, however, two teachers will be lost and a ~iblity of two more to be added. Mr. Bill Nelson, social studies department head, explained that the addition of new teachers should cause little problems along with the new freshman. "Sure the new kids will find things a little confus-. ing at first, Nelson said, "But confusion is the first step toward learning." Placement of the new instructors will not be restricted to teaching freshman only. "Those who have taught freshman before should eventually enjo~ .tea~hing older students,'' Tangdall

Eighth graders' reaction mixed toward change

juniors hesitant about four-year school

The addition of freshman to the enrollment, brings feelings of excitement and anxiety for the eighth graders. They will no longer face the " small-time" atmosphere of their junior high. Instead, freshman will walk the halls at Westside. However, students are finding it difficult to leave their schools. " I would much rather go to Arbor my freshman year," Jill Stillmock, eighth grader at Arbor Heights, said, " because it's a smaller school with familiar surroundings." Familiar friends and surroundings will be in demand when the 1987 school year arrives. Freshman will have new opportunities and experiences available to them. High school parties, friendships , and classes will help freshman adapt to their environment. In the meantime, they will struggle to meet new friends and break in new teachers . Freshman will strive to fit in, and will be seen running from class to class, seeking out junior high friends . "The first few months at Westside are going to be tough," Melissa Nihsen, eighth grader at Westbrook, said. " I'll be without a lot of my friends ." The thought of lost friendships and fears of homework are placed upon freshman from all three junior highs. However, the fear of Westside teachers comes most quickly to mind. ' 'Westside will probably be harder because of the different teachers," Matt Glasrud, eighth grader at Valley View, said. Junior high is an experience eighth graders do not want to cut short. Although the chance to go to Westside one year earlier appears to be a blessing, once attending high school, few eighth graders seem anxious to make the switch. " I don't feel I'm ready for high school," Jenny Johnson, eighth grader at Valley View, said. " It would be better to take my freshman year at Valley and be the oldest." Being at the head of the class is an experience all students should have before they are seniors. The class of 1990 is the last class to have that experience. The class Âˇof 1991 will be thrown into an environment of PSAT, SAT, and ACT's, hard courses for college preparation, and crowded hallways filled with unfamiliar faces .

With the beginning of the new academic year, freshman will begin their high school career. Although they will experience many advantages such as getting an early start on their high school education, there is also one major disadvantage for the freshman. The traditional privilege of being on the top, " big man on campus," is stripped away from them . Once again due to the change, they are on the bottom. . However if the general concensus among students is that they would more than welcome the opportunity to keep things as they are and send the freshman back. Brian Cichello, junior But the adjustment must be made and with it, complaints can frequently be heard. "The freshman will take away room in the IMC'S and especially the cafeteria ," Brian Cichello, junior, said. Kim Meyer, junior, had similar thoughts. " There just won't be enough room for everybody." But although the general feeling of the junior class in reaction to the freshman move is one of frustration , they also seem to sympathize with the ninth graders . When the upperclassmen reflect back on their junior high school experience, they remember the good times . . . during their freshman year, times which freshman now Chrts Donlan, Jumor will not have the opportunity to experience, at least not at at a junior high school. " My favorite year was ninth grade because our class was king of the school,'' Tracy McNulty, junior, said. " I'm glad I spent three years in junior high," . Cichello said, " because it gave me a chance to meet more people. " Future freshman will not have the opportunity for " a three/ear junior high experience. They will be surrounde by the company of upperclassmen. Not only will the freshman feel the affects of this change, but so will the upperclassman. " Next year will Tracy McNulty. junior be more frustrating," Chris Donlan, junior, said. "Squirrely freshman girls will congest the halls. " " If I'm in a class that's available to all grades, nine through twelve, it will be so embarrassing," Meyer said. " In that situation the juniors and seniors will feel dumb." Whether embarrassing, frustrating, or simply too crowded for the upperclassman, the freshman will soon be a reality.

ln rememberance of her previous high school years at Westside, Mrs. Kathy Encell , 1959 graduate, pages through her past yearbooks with her sons Jay Encell, senior, and Mark Encell, junior.

Student reaction varied on subject of school closings

For some, change is very scary and undesirable, but for others, it is a sign that things are not stagnant. The change brought on by the school consolidation has left differing points of view . Though approximately onethird of Westside 's 1500 students can still identify w i th their junior hig h , the

privileges for seniors as there are now such as open campus or r.arking lots. ' People rarely drove to school so parking was never a problem. Our parents dropped us off and picked us up or we took a school bus," Encell said. "We all had to go to study halls when we weren't in class. So they 're really weren't any privileges to be allowed. "

From the past and into the future . At one time Westside High School wasn ' t just sophomore through senior years, in fact it wasn't just freshman to senior years. It was seventh grade up through the twelfth. How was the school dif-路 ferent? What was the school like back in the years of 1950 to 1960 when essentially there were all those mixtures of ages at Westside? " Everyone seemed to know one another by first namesno matter what grade you were in. It was more of a small-town atmosphere," Mrs. Kay Owen, an alumnus of Westside who graduated in 1961, said. At that time junior highs had not really been developed. " We thought it was a very " natural" thing, mixing all those grades together. We didn't really give it much thought. Junior highs were a new concept then," Owen said. " The social life was a lot of fun . It didn 't take much to have a good time. Everybody went to all the school events

such as football and basketball games and then we'd go to a party at someone's house. The parents were always home. There was always a lot of school spirit," Mrs . Cathy Encell, 1959 graduate, said. " The cool thing to do was to get involved in all the school activities . We always had large crowds at all the games." How else was it different? " The physical size of the building seemed so small then. They've added so much in the past 15 to 20 years it's almost like a totally new building," Encell said. Since 1960, two wings have been added, new parking lots, a new football field and the mechanics of the inside have also been changed. There are still some familiar faces around however, despite all the physical changes. Mr. Paul Andreas and Dr. Jim Tangdall are still around. And Mrs. Alice Gillogly up at the front desk of the main office is still there too. Westside High School didn't always have modular scheduling. There were no special

rest are ieft with only memories. " It's disappointing. You can't keep on looking back. There was so much tradition there and now it's all gone," Brian Sattem, senior, said. " It's always fun to go back and see how much things have changed and what it's

anymore.'' In fact many students echoed Sattem's sentiments. Todd Murphy, senior, said, " It's kind of a drag. It's neat when little kids on the street say they go to Valley. It's a drag to know the junior high that I went to is not going to

that it is not their school that is being kept open. " I don't like my junior high closing . Valley View was a really good school and was a lot of fun,'' Tracey Wagner, senior, said. " I liked the rivalry that was there between the other junior highs. I think it's a

At that time all the ages really didn't seem to make a difference. Junior and senior highs were still somewhat separated in athletics and some classes. But we were all still in the same building. I don't think bringing up the ninth graders from the junior highs will present any real problems. They will, however, be subjected to some pressures earlier than they may have been at the junior highs," Encell said.

Gillogly. reflects on WHS past; remains optimistic about future

Telephone calls and messages have assisted in making Mn. Alice Gillogly, community relations secretary, the eyes and ears of Westside High School for 34 years.

" It seems to me that when you have to arise to an occasion, you do it, that's all. And you make the best of what you have. If you don't, you get lost in the shuffle and then you are in trouble," Mrs. Alice Gillolgy, community relations secreatry said. Gillogly has been a secretary at Ute sc-hooi since 1953. " I began working with the principal's secretary when the school was known as the Junior and Senior Westside High School," Gillogly said. "At that time there were 311 students and 17 teachers in the grades seven to twelve." In '53 the school wasn't big enough to handle all 311 students attending, so the school needed to rent out parts of Countryside Village, the church basement and the temporaries or houses behind the school for extra teaching space. ' 't used to have to take students about four times a day across the street, then when they were through with their classes, I would go back and pick them up, becauses the teacher couldn't leave the room," Gillogly said. "Then we began to expand. In the fall of 1962 the seventh and eighth grades left the school and moved to Arbor Heights and Westbrook Junior Highs ; and then in the fall of'1964 Valley Junior High School opened and the freshman left Westside, making Arbor, Valley View and Westbrook the District 66 area junior high schools," Gillogly said. After the seventh, eighth, and ninth graders left the school became a three year high school and

began to grow steadily every year. In about 1972, the school reached its height of about 2450. Then in about 1974 the enrollment began decreasing every year. "When enrollment began to grow so rapidly we began the additions. Ever since I have been here they have been adding on every year. The new gyms, the little theatre and the auditorium," Gillogly said. The younger students who attended Westside in years past didn't seem to cause any problems for the administration. " Everybody seemed to get along. I suppose there were fights and picking on the little kids but I don't remember anything traumatic about it, " Gillogly said. " We just were so used to them that we didn't feel that we were ever separated from them. " Next year's adjustment of the freshman coming to the school isn't going to be an immediate one. " It's going take a while and everybody is going to make adjustments, but that's the way life is. Things never go on just the way you want them to, '' Gillogly said. "Essentially I think the kids are going to be receptive to the idea. The students that like the school are going to do the very best that they can," Gillogly said. " I think that the teachers, on any occasion that they have had to come through have done a beautiful job. And the administration has done their very best. Anytime that you make big adjustments, it's going to take awhile," Gilogly said.

School organizations face change As far as colors go, the freshman cheerleaders will most likely have the same white uniforms as the sophomores w1th a waist line stripe to distinguish the two grades. The junior and senior uniforms will re-. main the same. Courses such as jounalism and debate will also go through a change. In an attempt to help the freshman adapt to the journalism program, the semester course "Mass Communications" which is presently offered to sophomores will now be open to freshmen. It is just a "watered-down" version of the course. Along with this course is the adoption of a new course, "Introduction to Journalism," offered first 路 semester to sophomores. It is a "theory oriented course" which will place much more emphasis on the law aspect of journalism, according to Mr. John Hudnall, journalism adviser. From this point on, the journalism system will remain as is, with the opportunity to take either Newspaper or Yearbook as juniors.

Questions have arisen by the incorporation of the freshman class into Westside. One such question is: What will happen to the curriculum-based groups presently offered? Along with the general reorganization of simply situating the ninth graders at school, there will also be reorganization at lower levels. This will be the case with extracurricular activities such as athletics, cheerleading, journalism, debate, and the Student Advisory Board. In the area of athletics efforts will be made to keep things much the same for the freshman, offering the same sports as in the past, such as football and wrestling for boys, volleyball for girls and basketball and track for both boys and girls. The major difference is that the athletic program will have to accommodate more people. Because of this, it is possible that there will be more than one team per sport. But this depends upon the number of students who want to participate. Although the increase in numbers,according to Mr. Ron Huston, athletic director, should provide a more competitive program. Another difference, or benefit, is that the freshman will be offered new sports that before weren't a part of the program because of new facilities available to them, such as swimming, tennis, and soccer. Another benefit offered by the new system is that "those with advanced athletic skills will be able to play on the varsity level,'' Huston said. But in order not to destroy the ninth grade program, only those who are skilled enough for the varsity will be brought up. There won't be freshman allowed to play on the junior varsity. Some questions about the program do remain though. The question of when and where to practice is one concern. "Practice times will have to be worked out. It's going to be tignt, no doubt about it, but it will work out. Hopefully, we'll keep bad practice times to a minimum," Huston said. One way that this problem will be alleviated is in the renovation of the rec gym. A1thouilh some asnert<; of thP nroP'ram nn<::P rlif-

ficulties that have to be worked out, there are several benefits. Huston expressed much optimism. "I feel real good about what our athletic program can provide for the ninth graders." Changes will also come within the cheerleading program. Mrs. Peg Johnson, sponsor, met with sponsors from Valley View, Arbor Heights and Westbrook and they came up with a new program. With the addition of the ninth graders, there will be two completely separate squads with a sponsor for each squad. One squad will consist of eight freshman and six sophomore cheerleaders, the other will consist of 12 juniors (six JV and six varsity) and 16 seniors ( pjaht .TV

Alterations will be made as well in the debate program. Although the regular speech and debate classes will not be offered to the freshman, there will be a new course called "Beginning Speech" which will serve as an introduction to the present debate and speech program. "The reasoning behind not offering the regular speech and debate courses is that freshman have tight schedules, and because the debate classes are five mods a week, it would be difficult to fit them into their schedule," Heim said. And finally, the Student Advisory Board, as well will be affected by the insertion of the freshman. The group will expand from 18 to 24 members. Each grade will have six representatives, all of which will De eligible for officer positions. "Because 50 percent of the board will be new to Westside next year, we will work hard at trying to make the ninth and tenth graders feel welcome and part of the group," Mr. Roger Herring, assistant principal and SAB sponsor, said. Along with this there is some concern with the scheduling of meetings in the freshman's schedule because they are already very tight. Along with the change in number of officials there is also the possibility that SAB and Forum .nrus1A 1unoonhin.o

enior year, a year that was well worth waiting for, could only be described with one word; sensational. But, even though the seniors "ruled the school" and they had more freedom than the rest, it didn't seem to be enough. There was, as with every graduating class, an urge to get out. "It becomes hard to concentrate on homework when you know that this is your last year," Jay Leisey, senior, said. The excitement of getting out of high school and heading onward has made many seniors impervious to school work. Many teachers have watched this transformation

Seniors claim open mods he senior schedule. Everybody looks forward to their senior year and the new schedule is one reason why. The average senior schedule usually leaves four open mods each day. This means either having a late day, an extended lunch hour, leaving school early, or a combination of these three. One question many teachers and parents ask is if seniors have too much open time. Phillip Bahar, senior, says no. "You have to understand that with senior year also comes harder classes and more responsibilities. I spend a lot of my open time talking with my teachers or doing homework in an IMC," Bahar said. Once a senior has passed

12-year wait can pay off :~:~;~;m;~;~ :~:~:;:

hey have waited 12 years for a leadership role, yet once it arrives, it is a frightening experience. "Most of the leadership roles at Westside are dominated by seniors," Kevin Looper, senior and Forum president, said. Seniors have the experience needed to organize and head the student governments, clubs, and publications. "Leadership roles take a lot of time and dedication," Mrs. Maryanne Ricketts, counselor, said. "Seniors are typically so busy. Most officers are the good students involved in more than one activity. They end up spreading themselves thin." Leadership roles can create

"As vice-president of SAB, I chair various committees and help Andy Davis, president, make sure the committee work is getting done," Goldner, said. Having a leadership role in high school can be difficult. It means having to take responsibility. Sometimes it means having to take authority over your friends and peers. "It's harder to lead your peers at this age because a lot of your friends take it defensively if you tell them what to do," Rich Erixon, senior and editor of the Shield, said. Along with the glory comes the frustration .

College sweats; classics lorida State, Dartmouth, Pepperdine, even the University of Okoboji, and a variety of fraternity and sorority emblems are just a few of the college sweatshirts commonly seen around the typical high scho_ol campus. "I wear college sweatshirts, but not for the same reasons that other people wear them," Kevin Looper, senior, said. " College sweatshirts are like brand names printed on a white background. Instead of Georgetown or Princeton, they could just as easily say 'Polo' or any other brand name that impij.es status. People who go to UNL or UNO wear Georgetown sweatshirts, but it doesn't show signs of connection - it's for the status." It's hard to figure out just when this classic became such a big hit.

said. Co[lege sweatshirts can be purchased just about anywhere. Traveling to the college itself to get the sweatshirt is almost pointless. An authentic campus sweatshirt can usually be bought by a friend or sibling who is a student at that particular school. "Brothers or sisters give them as gifts," Goldner said, "because it shows school pride and it's a unique gift." No matter how a person goes about getting a college sweatshirt, it seems everybody has at least one. It's been made perfectly clear on high school campuses all over the United States that the college sweatshirt is a classic and always will be. -by Debbie Barack

With these costs. a question of necessity can be raised. ''Caps and gowns are an obvious necessity for graduation ceremonies," Traci Williams, senior, said . " Somethings, such as class rings, are a matter of what the student wants," Williams said. Personal preference seems to be a key factor in determining a senior's expenses. But as the expense list grows larger, the days until graduation grow shorter. -by Kim Johnson

Lovin' the Nebraska life o this is the simple life? At least that's what exchange students Tilo Kochsiek (Germany) and Nina Tange (Denmark) said about Westside. Both agreed that Westside's European counterparts have life much more difficult. " Here the homework is much easier and there is much less of it," Kochsiek said. "Also, I am a senior, in Germany I would be a junior and I would still have two years left. In Germany we spend 13 years in school instead of 12." " I am only 17, but I have already completed one year of college," Tange said, "but I wanted to experience high school in the United States, so I became an exchange. My friends were also exchanges and they loved it." Tange, having request a family on either coast, was rather disappointed when she heard she would be spending a year in Omaha, NE. "All I'd heard about Nebraska was how flat it was and that there was corn growing everywhere.

" In Germany we hear a lot gal when you are 16 and you crazy," Kochsiek said. "In about U.S. politics," Kochsiek have to be 18 to drive. The Germany, soccer is as big as said.

Adjustments o r a sop homore, adjusting to the newly found freedoms of an open campus and modular scheduling, the multitude of new faces and the continuing hallways of a huge new building can be an overwhelming experience. ''The place seems so big at first, but once you learn your schedule and figure out where you're going, its really not that tough to adjust,'' Nicole Long, sophomore, said. "Sophomores are allotted a small amount of unscheduled time and they need and have the self discipline to go to an IMC and utilize that time," Mr. Lynn Hansen, counselor, said. In the junior highs, stu-

Finding the ways

dents are usually given fun meeting so many new some time at the end of people," said Sharla class to do their homework, Broyles, sophomore. while in high school the class time is usually used for lecture or lab and the student must work on his own time. With the bringing together of students from three different junior high schools there is the worry of whether or not people will keep their old friendships and whether they will make new ones. Another worry is whether "Making friends wasn't or not people will find a tough at all, it was a lot of place where they are com-

fortable? Somehow after the first few weeks things seem to fall into place. The hallways change from a frightening maze into a friendly pathway where one is able to say 'hi' to a network of friends. And, at last, one feels at home again. -by Debbie Barack

McGill enjoys dance Ballet is a very competitive art, but the enjoyment of dancing inspires Kyle McGill, ballet dancer, to participate. McGill has been enthusiastically dancing since the young age of 5-years-old . She dances to different selections of classical music. "I got involved in dancing, when my mom, who is also a dancer, had my sister and I take lessons after school," said McGill, a junior. She practices five times a week, including Saturday. Her practice time varies, for it is anywhere between two to five hours at a time. Kyle dances at the Omaha Ballet, with the help of Robin Welch, her instructor, and also help from her mother. "Since my sister also dances, it is sometimes really

strange when my mother, sister, and I are all in the same room," McGill said. Lessons and performing take a lot of time. It is really frustrating for her to come home to homework after practicing for five hours. "Ballet also interferes with my social life, for a lot of the time I can't go to games or other social events," McGill said. McGill has performed in many ballets, such as: "The Nutcracker," "Swan Lake," "Aida," and many more. But she doesn't plan to pursue a career in ballet. "Ballet is too competitive to make it my career, but I plan to still involved myself in it as a recreational purpose," McGill said. -by Machaela Fruehwald

He jumps for- fun If jumping out of an airplane one and one-half miles off the ground, dropping at the rate of 120 miles per hour sounds fun, skydiving may be a consideration. "It's a different sense of reality. Different than you might think, it's not the ultimate terror like jumping off a building," Bob Moragues, senior, said. Moragues became interested in skydiving his freshman year. His mother has been active in the sport for five years and Moragues often accompanied her. Now he is a dedicated jumper. In these three years of jumping Moragues has suffered from only one injury, a dislocated ankle. "It was my own fault," Moragues said, "I wasn't paying attention." Before jumping, partici-

pants must take a training class, where they will learn emergency procedures and survival skills. "I've had two parachute malfunctions where I have landed without it, and walked away from both of them. Skydiving is not a dangerous sport, but any mistake is a fatal mistake," Moragues said. Moragues also participates in airshows with three other divers. They fly into each other and do a series of formations while falling rapidly to the ground. " Airshows are the most fun," Moragues said. "I really enjoy performing for an audience." Moragues definitely plans to keep up with the sport after high school. -by Ellen Behringer

- 9esigninยง fer profit Anyone interested in a fashion designing career should get in touch with Lori Bourke, senior. Bourke was recently asked to come out with a "Lori Bourke" line of clothing for Omaha's downtown store "Inactive Pursuit." "It was really wierd. Last summer I was shopping for something new at "Inactive Pursuit" when the sales clerk complimented me on my dress," Bourke said, "then I told him I made it myself. Next thing you know, I was sketching some ideas for him and he made me an offer." Bourke is required to come up with five to ten designs within a limited amount of time. She sketches, sews, and puts to~ther her clothes with standard retail quality. Each article is exclusive to the buyer and will carry the label "Lori

Bourke.'' Bourke's sewing ability is remarkable considering that she really hasn't had much instruction. She began sewing on her own in eighth grade and vowed never to tal<e a sewing lesson in her life. Little did she know that three years later she would be taking sewing class at Westside. Because she hates following sewing patterns, she takes the pieces she wants to use from each pattern and makes an original design. ''The biggest problem I have with this job isn't coming up with a new design, it is taking the time to actually sew the material together. But this project is something I'm excited about, so I figure it won't be so hard to make the time," Bourke said. -by Sarah Jenkins

Over hill anG Gale When's the next stop? We should have turned left 30 miles ago. How much longer? These are all images of family vacations that occur with great expectations, but sometimes end with high ambition - to head back home. Not the case for sophomore, Jennifer Ahl, who had the chance not many have experienced, but have only read about. This chance was a two and onehalf week trip to London, Paris, Rome, and Vienna. In 1985, Ahl took in the sights of these cities. "My favorite place was Paris," A hi said, "There was so much to do there and a lot of sight seeing." Being a French student at Westside, Ahl also said, "It was neat hearing the language spoken by people who live there." Vienna, according to Ahl, was different from the other

countries especially in their languages. Some people spoke German and others Austrian. She concluded that people just did things differently there. As far as depicting if she was a traveler or not, the look of the West seemed to be a dead give away. Ahl said that due to the way she dressed, they could easily spot her. "They stared at you as you walked down the street and could tell you were from a different place." Ahl added that in the European cities she visited, their lifestyles were similar to those of the United States with the exception that the language is different. Most, however, knew English and at most places a traveler went, such as restaurants, English was spoken. -by Heather Strait

He's just a genius People may tend to think that someone who is a genius would be different and stand out from the majority. But according to Christopher Patil, sophomore, "I am treated no different than anyone else.'' Kindergarten started a year earlier for Patil, which is the reason for his young age as a sophomore. While attending Arbor Heights Junior High, Patil was enrolled in the Advanced Algebra Honors class at Westside, his freshman year. Patil was responsible for getting himself to and from the high school. "When I first enrolled they said I could get a ride up and back from the high school, but when the time came, they said it was my education, so I had to walk every day," Patil said. "I wasn't scared of going to

Westside," Patil said. "I knew a lot of pople up here already." Most people would feel awkward going to an unfamiliar school every day not knowing anyone in the class. But Patil had no difficulty fitting in. "I am not scared of getting in front of, or meeting new people," Patil said, which accounts for his enthusiasm with other students. Patil is currently enrolled in Pre-Calculus Honors and Competitive Debate, which is pretty honorable for a sophomore. Friends and even distant acquaintances come to Patil for help with homework, mostly math. Patil says he does not mind - he enjoys the attention. -by Ellen Behringer

Real horse sense Out of the ordinary and expensive are two words to describe the sport of showing horses. Kathy Kaplan, junior, has been showing horses in the Midwest and California for the past two years. Kaplan said, "I used to practice four hours a day during school and from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the summer." "I have showed at Aksarben and the state fair, but usually I show in California because that is where my horse is," Kaplan said. Showing horses involves riding and jumping fences. At horse shows participants can either show a horse they own or someone else's. "I practice with my trainer's horse when showing here. When I'm in California, I show my horse,'' Kaplan said. The

one drawback to showing is the expense. "To be any good you really need to buy your own horse and they are really expensive,'' Kaplan said. There are advantages to showing expecially to the winners. "In most shows you win a trophy, ribbon, and some money," Kaplan said. Some of the bigger shows may involve winning money or even vacation trips to exotic places. "I began showing horses after going to some shows with my friends. It looked like fun and it was something different," said Kaplan. Kaplan plans to attend college, hopefully in California. "I hope to continue riding in college, but it takes up to much time," Kaplan said. -by John Pemberton

- - -gem to skateboard A thrill, a challenge, a whole lot of danger, and violence are all things Brad Delahunty, senior, and his brother Kevin, sophomore, share in skateboarding. They have been skating for about six years. They became involved when the concrete wall was built at 84th and Grover. "Scott Bouwins, a friend from Lincoln, brought us there and started us out," Brad said. They both skate for a team in which they travel to different states. The team is made up of skaters from both Lincoln and Omaha. "We have traveled to Oalls, Albuquerque, Chicago, Kansas City and other cities in the country. Sometimes we compete and other times we just ride around with our friends from out-of-town,"

Brad said. Brad has received third place awards in almost every competition he has been in and Kevin has always been in the top ten. They skate almost everywhere: pools, ditches, streets, half-pipe ramps, vertical walls, and anywhere else they can. Skating is a dangerous sport. It is really hard not to get bruises and scars, the brothers agreed. "I had a hairline fracture in my arm once," Kevin said. Skateboarding is a sport which receives different attitudes - both positive and negative. "We get made fun of all of the time, for one time someone yelled 'get a car', but it doesn't really bother us," Brad said. -by Machaela Fruehwald

Looking to the pros Mark Vap, junior, spends much of his spare time at the hockey rink. Vap plays for the Omaha Lancers, a U.S. Hockey League team, Junior "A" division. This was the first year far the team, so they started slowly, but gained momentum as the season progressed. ''To make the team, I had to try out for two days. It's made up of people from all over the country," he said. Mark's position is goalie. There are many sacrifices and rules for the team. "On game nights, we have to be in at 9 p.m. The coach will come to my house sometimes and check. He always calls to make sure. All other weeknights we're supposed to be In by 10 p.m. and weekends, no later than midnight." They practice anywhere

Yap's eight years of hockey experience and dedication have paid off. So far, he's attended two Olympic training centers in Colorado and Michigan. The training camps are competitive and tryouts are required~

Vap has also been contacted by Princeton's hockey coach, who has shown an interest in his athletic ability. "I hope to play on the college and professional levels someday," Vap said. With such offers the future looks bright for Vap. -by Missy Lake

Qlympics as Grace and endurance are key factors for Lara Wilson, senior. Wilson has been involved in synchronized swimming for the past eight years. "I really enjoy being involved in a sport like this,'' Wilson said. "It's extremely challenging." Wilson's synchronized swim club is coached by her mother and consists of 12 members. They practice at the Millard North pool five times a week. "It takes a lot of time and work, but it's worth it," Wilson said. During the past summer, Wilson and her club members competed all over the United States. They went to Florida, California, Missouri, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Colorado. "Traveling is an exciting part of synchronized swimming," Wilson said. "We have a lot of

fun doing it." Along with being involved in synchronized swimming, Wilson also swims on the Westside swim team. "I have been swimming for Westside for four years," Wilson said. "It's been a very rewarding experience." Wilson's club spends almost the entire year, practicing and competing. "We start in early September and end our season in late August," Wilson said. "We usually only take two weeks off in between." "The Olympics is a goal we look forward to every day," Wilson said. Until then Wilson and her teammates are satisfied participating in the Junior Olympics. Wilson definitely plans on keeping up with swimming in the future. -by Beth Hornstein 路

Player ranked No.1 Hours of practice and years of training have made the cliche "practice makes perfect" true for Anne Fitzpatrick, ·senior. Fitzpatrick is ranked No. 1 in the state and is also in the top 100 in the nation among girls' tennis players. Fitzpatrick has t;>een playing tennis since she was 11-yearsold. "I started because I was interested in the sport, then I began playing more often," Fitzpatrick said. Fitzpatrick is currently participating in a tennis clinic which meets twice a week. ''We basically just play against each other for extra practice," Fitzpatrick said. Each summer, Fitzpatrick travels to different cities in the United States to compete in tournaments. She competed in sectionals first and then went on to play in national

competitions in San Francisco, Chicago, Memphis, and Atlanta. "I really enjoy traveling," Fitzpatrick said. "It's a fun and exciting experience meeting new people." While traveling, Fitzpatrick, along witl'l other competitors, is placed in a family for the duration ot the competition. "It was kind of like an exchange program," Fitzpatrick said. A fall tournament in Kansas City occupied much of Fitzpatrick's time. "I played in front of many college recruiters," Fitzpatrick said. Fitzpatrick definitely plans to continue playing tennis in the future. "I plan on playing all through college," she said. With Fitzpatrick's talent, who knows what the future will hold. -by Beth Hornstein

COLOPHON Westside High School's 1987 "Shield" was published in Topeka, KS, by Josten' s Publishing Company. The 1,200 copies of the book were "nursed" through the plant by in-plant consultant Mr. Bob Vukas. Company represen tative for the " Shield" was Mr. Marc Fuller. The theme "It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This" was a staff creation during the summer of '86 at the National Scholastic Press Association' s summer journalism workshop. As a staff, we didn't really get into the specifics of typography and we seriously doubt whether you want to know the trials and tribulations of type selection . However, we do feel we would be remiss if we were not to at least mention that theme type used was Oblique Medium. The majority of the type used in this book can be found in Josten's type specification book. Body type was Helvectica. The staff would like to thank all faculty members who assisted with interviews throughout the year; Mr. Dennis Mcintyre, who was ALWAYS there to explain the unexplainable about computers and their disks.

With support for the No.3 rated Warriors, Libby Wax and Karen Kully, seniors, concentrate on the final crucial seconds.

"I do believe my first year Westside has enticed me to broaden my horizons." Doug Hoffman -- sophomore

"I'm glad I will be gone when the freshman get here, but all in all it was a great year." Jill Harrington - senior High five. Misti Guenther . ju nior, takes time to receive team support before one of the big season games of the year.

254 Closing

It doean't get any better than thia. Closing the end of an intramural basketball game as well as a great year Kristin Froistad, Brian Saltern, and Barb Goeser, seniors, smile for a final snap-shot.

II of the little things that went together to make the year successful formed one huge conglomerate - a conglomerate that would not be complete if any one element was missing. It took the tears of Âˇ losing in the state tournament to fully appreciate the individual successes that were more commonplace in ordinary games. It took the horror of a downslip in Pre-Calc to understand the A+ in Geometry. It took the break-up of a long-term relationship to really break loose in "playing the field." It took getting cut at Squire tryouts to appreciate the food baskets delivered to the less fortunate at Christmas. It took depth introspection to really grasp the meaning of the theme "It doesn't get any better than this." Aâ&#x20AC;˘ the achool-year beats to an end, so does Susie Stern, junior, with the final foot-steps of the Hawaiian dance.
