road in order to reach a
destination or to achieve success. By merely being behind the walls of Westside, one could see this was true. Although traveling the highway was sometimes arduous, with small roadblocks, detours and potholes standing in the way, we found a way to swerve and avoid the obstructions. The incoming freshmen, and sophomores alike, saw before them an overwhelming expanse of road yet to be traveled . New
.
graduation requirements, including 80 hours of service learning, performance requirements and specific knowledge expectations, were some of the hills over which they 11ad to venture as they accelerated down the road of their high school career. Likewise, the juniors and seniors, even though they were not affected by changes in diploma requirements, had to rise over mounds of homework in order to blaze the trail to success. (continued on page 5)

(continued from page 2)
Westside cleared new paths and paved old roads by, among other things, refurbishing the Boys Gym with a new paint scheme, intensifying many of its classes to provide an even greater challenge and maintaining its status as a "world class" high school with its caring instructors, advanced tefhnology and modular scheduling. The city of Omaha, too, had roads that were often difficult to travel because of extensive interstate and highway construction. In addition, the opening of the Walter and Suzanne Scott Kingdoms of the Seas Aquarium at the Henry Doorly Zoo provided an underwater path through which visitors could be educated regarding mysterious ocean creatures. In the end, the underclassmen came to the final stretch of the highway of their particular grade level and the seniors ventured off the path to graduate and directed their headlights toward the future. After all their experiences, good and bad, few could possibly regret the outcomes of their traveled path. Instead, they eagerly looked forward to new destinations looming beyond the horizon.

Summer jobs mean extra cash for some students; lifeguarding, zoo, malls keep students busy
Sleeping in. Lazy days. Hot days. These were just a few things students gave up to work summer jobs indoors and outdoors. The hours students worked were sometimes inconvenient. "It was a pain having to work from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.," sophomore Katie Vap said . "I was just getting home from work when all my friends were going out." Vap worked at the Henry Doorly Zoo taking tickets at the new Walter and Suzanne Scott Kingdoms of the Seas Aquarium. The aquarium was a popular attraction. "The lines were so long I had to be the crowd controller at times," Vap said. • C?ne of the most popular jobs was lifeguarding. Jumor James Meyers was a lifeguard at Westridge Pool. Meyers took the job to earn money and to relieve summer boredom. "My parents said I needed to get a job, and I didn't want to end up complaining about how bad
the summer was," Meyers said. Summer jobs didn't mean the absence of summer fun. Senior Jenny Javitch was a camp counselor at Hyzle Camp in Wisconsin. Javitch had been a camper for the previous five year, and it was her first time as a staffer. "It was one of the best experiences of my life," Javitch said. "I learned a lot about the responsibilities of a job." Summer jobs that involved anything from watching over screaming kids in a pool to mowing lawns, gave students the experience of getting a paycheck. "I didn't earn a lot this summer, l.ÂŁ,0i.l...l.._.. but it was a gateway for next summer," Meyers said. "I liked kicking out bratty kids and getting a tan at the same time." The lucky students who missed sleeping in, lazy days and hot days were rewarded with extra cash, which was spent on their lazy days. - by Missy Kucirek -+ HARD AT WORK.

Strong hitting, pitching lead baseball teams to district titles, state berths; Holmes Freight runner-up at regionals
Dedication and many hours of practice carried the Omaha Pacesetters and Holmes Freight baseball teams to the district titles during the summer. The Omaha Pace etters, Westside's junior varsity team, started off the summer with a slow start and a 12-11 record. "We started off slow, but then we progressed to a 39-18 record," junior Mike Yakopec said. The Omaha Pacesetters consisted of13 players: six freshmen, six sophomores, and one junior.

"The state tournament brought ou; team closer together and it really showed that we can play together," junior Adam Ford said. The Holmes Freight Lines, Westside's varsity team, won the district and state titles after losing the first game in both tournaments. "My fondest memory was defeating Papillion for the state championship and going to play in
regionals," senior Scott Bovick said. Holmes Freight suffered the loss of All-State shortstop and 1995 graduate Tony Schrager to the U.S. Olympic team. "Schrager's leaving made certain players step up and accept the challenge/' senior Mike Knust said.

Yet, we managed to dodge around these potholes and settle into everyday school life.

UpCio .. It's kind of like "girl's night out". Except that we stay in. It has become a tradition. Once a month, someone holds a dinner party. The table is set, the candles are lit, slow jazz is playing in the background. The girls, in singles, pair and triplets, start to arrive. Jackets are taken to reveal beautiful outfits, thoughtfully chosen to display the mood of the night. We' re playing a small part of the adult role that is imminently looming in the background. The girls mi11gle, eating hors d'oeuvres, discussing different topics. A quick view of the room would easily suggest what an eclectic
group we are. The hostess finishes last minute preparations, and we sit down a t the table. Before eating, we open up the opportunity for toasts. Cheers to us, cheers to our last year of high school, cheers to not forgetting each other. Everyone bring a dish, and there is not much to talk about while the food is sampled. Still, there are plenty of silent smiles pa sed between the guests. We are well-aware of what is coming. We have heard many time that we willlo e contact with our high chool friends once we meet people at college. But I think that, privately, we have each resolved
to not let this happen. Des ert comes next, and the mood lightens. We break away from the table. Some are in the kitchen, helping with dishes, and others are in the living room, ampling pieces of music. Hair ha been let down, shoes kicked off. The atmosphere now resemble a nine-year-old's birthday party instead of a sophisticated adult gathering. Eventually, someone is the first to leave-to meet a boyfriend, or make curfew. But it' okay, -we've had our evening together. These are the moments that I'll look back on with most fondness. Cheers to you, girls.

a senior's highlight was. Some students' memories revolved around sports-related topics. "My highlight was beating Duchesne sophomore year at soccer when they had been undefeated all season," senior Karrin Hoesing said. Other people often remembered exciting moments in competition
against Creighton Prep. "A definite highlight was beating Prep in basketball our sophomore and junior years," senior Jenny Hellman said. Many seniors never forgot the thrill of Warrior Mania freshman year. "My highlight was beating the seniors in Warrior Mania at the tug-of-war

when we were freshmen," senior Tiffany Mullins said. High school was a time when people expanded their horizons and made many new friends. Because of this, other students recalled personal experiences with their friends. "One of my highlights was making a book of
quotes in Mr. [Dan] Hall's math class junior year," senior Karen Rieser said. Whether it was activities, personal experiences, or sports, seniors created many special memories throughout their four years of high school that they would always remember.

Freedom wa a major respon ibility for junior . One example of a freedom which required r sponsibility wa~ th junior pass. In order to be eligible for the pass, juniors ne ded to have at least three consecutive mods open and could leave after their last cla s. Many student pent their open mod time going out to lunch. "I love going out to lunch during my free mods," junior Nealy Yontz said. "It's great not having to eat in th cafeteria all the ' time." The temptation to leave chool was much trong r for orne students, since it was legal to do o. " ow that I can drive, I want to leave school every open mod I can," junior Mindi Houston said. "I almost n d to chain my elf to an IMC so that I will get work done." New freedoms not only dealt with a pa , but al o with more freedoms with instructors. "Most college prep courses, like Physics, have high expectations for students to handle learning on their own," clas instructor Bob Klein said. "Rather than telling student everything, we let them find out some things for themselves." Students enjoyed having this extra freedom. "During my sophomore year, teacher told me exactly how they wanted things done; now it i my d ci ion," junior Chip Keirn said. "Instead of hovering over you, it's a lot nicer to have teachers trusting you." New freedoms for junior were mostly small hint of what was to come as a senior. -by Reid Brawner

Up Close 3tudent experiences new culture Katie Weitz spent her junior tear in France as a foreign ex:hange student. The fo llowing etter reveals her thoughts on 'he first four months of visit. During my stay in France, ['ve learned and experienced many new and different things. Besides learning the French language, I've learned about the French culture through living with two French families, both very nice yet very different. I've tasted the French cuisine, studied the great
French novels in their originallanguage, and the world wars in a country once occupied. I've lived the life of a French teenager, from discos and cafes to school on Saturday mornings. If all I gain from this year are the memories, I'll be happy and I'll know I made the right choice. Still, I'm sure my knowledge of the French language and experience of getting along with different people will corn in handly later on. - by Katie Weitz

aCuity finds spare time rewarding
Was there more to an tstructor' s life than gradtg papers at 4:30 in the torning? Apparently tere was. Many instruc,rs' lives were busy outde of school. After hours :tivities were ways inuctors got away from 1e busy school day. "When the chool day
is over at 3:10, my main priority is coaching my basketball teams," math instructor Dan Hall said. Hall coached the eighth grade basketball team at Westside Middle School, as well as the junior varsity team at the high school. Hall found time to coach both teams and still fit in his school work. "Basketball does not interfere with my job, and I -+-~=--~----... love to be a part of it. SeeFaculty ing the kids improve is
very exciting to me," Hall said. Instructor found that having out-of-school activities, such as coaching were important. Afterschool activities provided entertainment and pleasure for some, but they also provided some extra cash for others. Having a part-time job outside of being an instructor was not uncommon.

s the 1995-96 school year began, Westside put their athleticism to the challenge when the varsity football team lost their first two games of the season. However, they bounced back with five wins in a row to qualify for the state playoffs. Other state qualifiers included the girls softball team which made the state tournament by winning their district championship. Senior Mike Frederick was the only cross country
A
runner to qualify for state. Sophomore Kayla Monson putted her way to the state tournament, as well. Grueling practices and determination made student athletes compete to their fullest. With the formation of the gymnastics team, the fall sports season had a different look.

xperience. Thi was a major factor in making the varsity volleyball team's 1995 season a succe s, despite a disappointing record. "Most of us played together in the off season," senior K. D. Smith said. "This helped the senior step 'IP and become the leaders." The girls volleyball team ended their sea on with an 11-17 record.

After a slow start with an 0-6 record, the team made significant po ition changes to improve their play as the eason progressed. "Our season would have been different if we wouldn't have lost our first five games," coach Ann Royle said. "We made some position changes, and that moved some people into new positions that they have never played before." The Warriors also had a new look to their coaching staff. Val Novak helped Royle coach the
tickin8 To8ether team. "It was great having coach
Novak around becau e she introduced a lot of new coaching techniques, and that helped us individually with our needs," senior Christina Reed said. Novak was an All-Big Eight and All-American at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Seniors Jackie Robinson and Julie Wood were the captains of the volleyball team. "JackieandJuliegaveusa whole new dimension to leadership,"
Royle said. "They led the team example, commitment and a tude." Robinson, the only etter on 1 team, ended the sea on with 1 set assi ts. The volleyball team consisl of eight seniors and five und classmen. "It's going to feel different n year playing without the enim junior Vane a Vap aid.

The 8irls 8olf team attains success in season best-described as a buildin8 year
Aimin8 for the future T
he foundation of the future was often a good phrase to describe the girls golf season. In a year dominated by sophomores, the varsity and junior varsity teams played well, even while looking toward the future. 'This was a good building year because of all the sophomores on the team," sophomore Emily Wahl said. By posting a respectable 6-1-1 outdoor dual record, the team demonstrated they have great potential for years to come.

Sophomore Kayla Monson was the only qualifier for state. "State was exciting, but I wish the whole team could have been there," Monson said. Team unity and consistency were also major reasons for the team's success in both the Metro and district tournaments. As a team, Westside placed third and fourth, respectively. "The team played together well, even though we lost our No. 1 player last year and got three new ones," Wahl said.
Even with uncertain team chemistry, each team member seemed to enjoy the entire season. "It was a great season," Monson said. Coach Sue Patchen was optimistic about the team's chances in the coming years. "The future looks real bright. We have many young players returning who have a real competitive spirit. Look out, Nebraska," Patchen said. - by Chris Reiff

Organizations Division
he 1995-1996 school year was often a long road. Traveling without great difficulty required organizations. The journey began on Club Fair Day, which was held Tuesday, Aug. 29, in the loge. Students signed up for sponsored and non-sponsored clubs. Organizations provided a green light for students to become involved in school, as well as meet new friends at the same time.

With the variety of clubs offered, there were many detours . students could take. Students were involved before and after school by showing their talents, helping otbers, making decisions, or simply volunteering their time. Involvement and interacting with others were stimuli for students to explore different paths during their lives, while others pondered "The Road Not Taken." - by Missy Kucirek

in keeping school Students often took activities like Warrior Mania and Homecoming week for granted, but without student government, none of these student-planned activities would have been possible. Class officers, Forum and Student Advisory Board (SAB) were all forms of student government. These organizations demanded much extra time. The debate team and Westside Law also required many extra hours. These students met at UniversityofNebraska at Omaha (UNO) numerous times. SAB and class officers were elected by the members of each candidate's associated class. One representative said a desire to help with the planning and organization of school activities was required of each representative. "I like being involved and being able to plan the dances, like Homecoming and Winter Formal," sophomore Jennifer Patton said. SAB not only provided for the school but also for the community. The Holiday Fun Festival, held Saturday, Dec. 9, enabled young children to play games and see Santa Claus. This gave their parents a short break to do Christmas shopping. Weekly visits to the Children's Cri-

sis Center were also important. Forum helped collect money for United Way and organized the annual food drive. Junior class officers planned the Prom, and senior officers made the senior video. Time was an important factor in making everything possible. "We spend many hours a week on various activities," junior Tom Lewandowski said. "Lots of early mornings and many late nights were put to good use." Students and faculty joined together to make all activities successful. "I think the students play a major role in the future of activities," SAB sponsor Al Inzerello said. Debate was a class in which students receiyed credits. Debate tournaments were held in Omaha and as far away as Texas. "Debate is a lot of work but can be very fun," sophomore Lindsay Gage said. Westside Law also dell1anded many hours of work, without school credit. "It's fun acting out court cases," junior Nicole Hall said. "You learn a lot about the laws." -by Alexis Regan and Reid Brawner

0 n many hours of outside time Imagine being at school until 12:30 on a school night and spending all your open time in a classroom. Doesn' t soun¡d like too much fun, does it? This level of dedication was expected when a student was a member of Shield, Lance, Cable, National Honors Society (NHS), Quill and Scroll and DEC A. Student members of the Lance and Shield staffs were responsible for the production of a bimonthly newspaper and an annual yearbook, respectively. Both publicatiorts were advised by journalism instructor Rod Howe. These members had to become accustomed to spending extra time in order to meet frequent deadlines. "Being one of the managing editors for the Shield, I feel very responsible for the book looking pretty," senior Beth Bowen said. Quill and Scroll was a club composed of Shield and Lance staff members who demonstrated exemplary journalistic talent. Members were responsible tor the organization of a variety of activities. "The main purpose of this club is to plan the journalism banquet at the end of the year," Howe said. Another time-consuming course which required
outside work was Cable. Cable students produced two different shows: Westside Up Front and Westside Unplugged, every two weeks. Many students in Cable viewed the course as good preparation for college television courses. "This class will help me in the long run," senior Monica Kingery said. "I plan on studying film in college, so I'm glad I took it." DECA, an organization of marketing students from both the junior and senior classes, was sponsored by business instructor Don Gilpin. A major community service of DECA was Honey Sunday. "I enjoy DECA so much that I'm running for state office," junior Kim Schnauber said. "If I get it, it will help to learn more about the organization." NHS was an association of juniors and seniors who successfully met specific academic requirements throughout their high school career. NHS members, too, participated in an abundance of community service, which was a prerequisite before becoming an inductee. When it came down to deadlines and community service, hard work and dedication were important assets of Shield, Lance, Cable, NHS, Quill and Scroll and DECA membership. - by Sara Kruse

en to show school spirit Drill squad, Squires, freshmen, junior varsity (JV) and varsity cheerleading ... if someone wanted to be on a spirit squad, there was plenty of room. "I wanted to be on cheerleading because I believe it is a good experience to be part of a group, and it also gives me an activity to participate in," said junior Rye Hicks, a JV cheerleader. Requirements for these squads were essentially to support all sports teams. They regularly delivered treats to the players on the days of their activities. "All the squads split up the different teams, so no one squad ended up with too much of a load," said senior Anne Armitage, drill squad captain. Financing was one of the various problems spirit squads encountered. "We have car washes in the summer and sell mugs during the school year to raise money," said junior Jessica Chait, a JV cheerleader. "Some-
how, however, we seem to run out of it every year." Though it was said that members of spirit squads were looked down upon, some students enjoyed their spirit. "I think they (spirit squads) are pretty cool," senior Zach Welch said. "They really add a lot to the games." On top of everything else, spirit squad members had a hectic practice schedule throughout summer vacation and the school year. Cheerleaders normally had a 6:30a.m. practice once a week, while drill squad and Squires usually had it every school day. "I'm so used to 6:30 practice," senior drill squad member Eric Nespoli said. "I've been having it for so long that it doesn't really affect me anymore." â&#x20AC;˘ From treats to practices to pep rallies, the spirit squads persevered with Warrior Pride. - by Beth Bowen

"Later on in the year, we old t-shirts and gave the money to 30 different environmental organizations." S rvice clubs were popular among students. "FBLA ha around 70 paid members," Schreier said. "I'd say ill most all of them are active. Key Club ha the most members, though." Besides performing volunteer work and service for the community, most clubs provided their members with opportunities to learn. "In FBLA we go to many area m etings and
conferences," Schreier said. "Usually, about 10 people go to the conferences, and th y are a great way to learn about new concepts and meet new people." International Council andJCLenhanced the study of a foreign language. International Council involved any foreign language, while JCL focu ed on Latin. "If you enjoy Latin, JCL i a great club to join," spon or Mary Ann Peder on said. For those students who were interested in the field of medicine, FMA was a popular club to join. "We (FMA) are in charge of the Bloodmobile every year," Hardi on said. "Thi is an excellent opportunity for service learning hours." Hard work and learning wasn't all the e clubs are made up of. They were a lot of fun. "After organizing Club Fair Day, FBLA was on Channel6 News," Schreier aid. "It was really exciting and gave us (FBLA) a lot of publicity." Ecology Club, FBLA, FMA, International Council, JCL and Key Club provided a chance to learn and do service. Students aid they were fun, educational and a great way to meet new people. "The conferences held for FBLA were the mo t fun,"said junior Laura Lovgcen, m~mber of FBLA. "We learned about busines from wonderful peakers. We met students from different states." -by Snrn!J Ncedelnum

Picture this. You come home from an exhausting day at school and catch a few hours of sleep before you go out. What if you could do something that was fun and worthwhile instead? The Chess, Ping-Pong and Math Clubs provided students with activities that gave their members both features. "Chess Club is a blast," sophomore Brian Bosse said. Each club met at various times, both before and after school. "It's hard to get up and play ping-pong in the morning, but it's harder after school because I have other things to do," junior Brian Keefer said. Competitions and tournaments were also an integral part of these clubs. TheM ath Club's senior Grigory Ginzburg placed as high as fourth in one competition held at Creighton during the scH'ool year. "We meet more frequently around competition time," co-sponsor John Graff said. "But it's not all math work; we have fun, too." Whether or not they performed well in a
tournament, each member had a good time. "I don't care who wins," Keefer said. "I j1 like playing the game." Clubs got students involved- orne by plc ing games and competing in contests; others having their members use their creative instil and emotion to convey a message. The Creative Writing and Drama Clubs help tudents by offering them the opportunity express their thoughts throughout the ent year. "I really enjoy the club ," junior JeffVavrus said. "There should be mor like them." By producing the literary magazine, Legaci and dramatic work , re pectively, both clu invested many hours of hard work in order provide students, faculty and parents with e joyment. "The plays take a lot of time, but they' worth it," junior Nick Sieben aid. Whether the ideas were written on paper performed to an enthusiasttc audience in t. auditorium, everyone could appreciate the go< each club accomplished. -by Chris Reiff

Students find intramurals better alternative than hitting their books
Not all sports teams consisted of coaches, uniforms, and a heavy practice schedule. Intramural basketball fit into this category. Intramurals gave students who were not on an organized team a chance to play sports. Students participated for several different reasons. Some played for the fun of it, while others played for the competitive action. "Intramurals gave me a chance to goof around with my friends," junior Laura Cline said. "We just played for the fun of being with each other, and showing off our skills." Many students found intramurals to be a relaxing way to pass time on Monday and Thursday nights, but to some it was more competitive than that. "We missed playing competitively, so we took intramurals seriously," senior Jackie Robirson said. Robinson was a member of the girls team, the Ex-V Girlz. Ex-V was composed of girls who were former players on a competitive team. Much like Ex-V, the CeeDeez in the boys league, consisted of former competitive players. The CeeDeez were successful with the help of seniors James Crew and Casey Logan. Ex-V and the CeeDeez were the leading teams in their respective leagues.

"CeeDeez were the best team in our league, only because they took it so seriou sly," junior Marty Salcedo said. With the mixture of competitive players and those playing just for fun, one might have wondered what kind of attitudes the referees had. Players from the varsity boys basketball team were responsible for refereeing the games. "They could care less if someone committed a foul," sophomore Kayla Monson said. "They took the games as seriously as the teams playing did." Besides having the help of the varsity team, intramural games were directed by instructors Jeff Nannen and Dan Hall. They were in charge of setting up schedules and game times. "They were really organized and had everything working smoothly," junior Anne Walker said. Intramurals proved to be a successful way of giving students a chance to play who were not on a team. - by Josh Goesche/

Corn husker fans celebrate backto-back titles at the Fiesta Bowl, at parties, at 72nd & Dodge
Touchdown! Touchdown! Touchdown! These were the words fans heard throughout Nebraska's win over the Florida Gators, 62-24, in the national championship game at the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, AZ, on Jan. 2. Some students got a chance of a lifetime of going to the game. "I wasn't expecting to go to the game, but my parents surprised my brothers and me with the tickets for an early Christmas present," sophomore Andy Sinclair said. The Fiesta Bowl crowd was very rowdy for the game. "Seventy-five % of the crowd was compsed of Nebraska fans," junior Jeremy Passer said. "You could hardly hear because the crowd was so loud." Other people who did not attend the game still supported the Corn husker in their ov<rn small way. "All my friends watched the game together at sophomore Melissa Carver's house and we ate a lot of Tostitos nacho chips" sophomore Katie Vap said. "I was so into the game I dressed up as Herbie the Husker, Nebraska's mascot." After the game hundreds of Omahans celebrated

Holiday fun means skiing, ice skating, sledding, excitement for students
Snowboarding, skiing and ice skating. These activities all played a big role during the winter season. For many students, winter was a great time to relax and enjoy the snowy weather. Colorado was a popular travel destination for many students during winter break. "This year, Snowmass, CO, had the best snow ever," junior Greg Rohde said. "There was a foot of fresh powder every morning; it was like floating on air." Rohde won thetitl , "Snowboard King," at the annual competition in Snowmass. Skiing was also a major highlight of the winter months. "Breckenridge is my favorite place to ski," junior Scott Wagner said. "The only thing I can't do is moguls." The new ice-skating rink at Tranquility Park was widely used by students. Featuring two ice rinks, Tranquility was a success.

"Ice skating is fun and also good exercise," junior Jessica Wilden said. "The guys are cute, too." Students who opted to stay home over the break also participated in winter events. "One of my friends and I went shagging in th streets," freshman Jake Wurth said. "We tied a sled to the back of the car and drove. We had a good time; we just had to be careful." Students also had fun and enjoyed spending time with their friends. "One night a group of my friends and I went to a party and ended up outside in a huge snowball fight," sophomore Angie Johnston said. Whether they traveled to a ski resort or chose to stay home, students found entertainment in a variety of winter activities. -by Anlee 5/owinczek and Alexis Regan -+ Sophomore Rachael Suarez workes on her ice skating skills.

Beep, beep, beep! This alarm clock sound became very familiar to spirit squad members in the weeks prior to the Winter Pep Rally. Early morning, as well asIa te night, practices were efforts to get spirited results at the pep rally. "Drill squad started practicing weeks in advance," senior squad leader Melissa Hays said. "I think the students liked it, so that made all the practicing worthwhile." The format of the Winter Pep Rally strayed from the usual. The pep rally concluded with a short basketball game between a small group of students and faculty. "The game was fun to watch," junior Katie Hanson said. "Although the whole 'cheer class' idea that the varsity cheerleaders tried wasn't my favorite, I'd like to see the game again next year." The Winter Pep· Rally was held in the Main Gym, whereas the Fall Pep Rally was held outdoors, thus making the format of each very different.

Winter Pep Rally takes on new format, receives wide range of feedback from students
Campbell said. "It has a different mood when it is outdoors." The purpose of the pep rally, like all pep rallies, was to get all students spirited and excited for the winter sports season. "You never know what people are going to like," said junior Dene Hobley, JV cheerleading co-captain. "Trying new formats are a good idea as long as the students like it. If they don't, the format can be changed back for the next pep rally." Thestudentsleftitup to thespiritsquads to coordinate and plan the pep rallies. All their efforts evolved with one purpose in mind- to make spirit. As Hobley says, "We can't force the students to have spirit. I guess the spirit squads leave that up to the students." -

The word" repeat" was in the heads of the girls varsity swimming team after capturing the state champion titlein1995. Led by sophomores Jenny Patton and Beth Williams and junior Irene Schneider, who won individual championships, the girls realized their dream by claiming the 1996 state title by a wide margin. Youth also served the boys swimming team, which finished second at state behind junior Tsim Schneider. Boys varsity basket-
ball endured many close losses, but continued to play with enthusiasm throughout the season. Despite being unproven and young, the wrestling team still qualified seven individuals for state. Utilizing a mixture of senior leadership, transfer students and youth, the girls basketball team excited fans with several memorable games, including an upset of top 10rated Lincoln Northeast. Motivated by tradition and fueled with youthful enthusiasm, the Warriors overcame many obstacles to reach tl1e road not taken. -by Ben Silverstein and Josh Goeschel CA 'T STOP ME.

psyched up for state. Junior Stacy Roberts placed second in diving, sophomore Beth Williams won the 200 Free and 100 Fly events and junior Irene Schneider won her 200 IM and 500 Free events. Many hours in the pool were demanded in order to win state. Being a member of the girls swim team did not always require swimming laps. Intense weight training, cords and cybernetics helped build endurance and mu de. Cybernetic was used to help get focused and relax.
"It was important to not only have a lot of endurance, but also to have a great deal of muscular strength," Schneider said. Getting mentally prepared was also important for the swimmers. Large pasta dinners, room decorating and personalized towels got spirits high. "During the season we became a family, increasing our bond, which brought us to the state victory," Bucholz said. The rigorous practice paid off for the girls swimming and div-
ing team at the season's conclu ion. Williams won the 100 Flyir a time of 57.86, just missing tht state record .

elentless. This word summed up the season for girls junior varsity, reserve and freshman basketball. "During the season, the JV team learned how much we could do," junior Alexis Kunce! said. "We weren't expecting to do that well, butwenevergaveup; weworked together, and that's how we achieved our great 13-3 record ." All three teams displayed good
teamwork. "The reserve team worked together really well," sophomore Lisa Luebbert said. "We noticed that in the Millard West game." Playing basketball meant effort and commitment, which paid off in many ways. "Whoever showed the most effort throughout the week got to keep the team's stuffed animal," freshman Julie Krajicek said. ''The next week the stuffed animal was passed on to the next player." Every team needs coaches, and the girls basketball teams were no exception. "We had the best coaches in the world," sophomore Ali Lerner said. "Coach Scott Persigehl taught us well and learned what to expect out of the team." One of the memorable mo-
ments for the JV players was the game against Marian at Westside. "There was less than one minute left in the game, and we were down by five," Lerner said. ''Persigehl told me to shoot a three; it bounced for what must have been the most intense three seconds of my life, and then it went in. Even though we lost, it was the most fun game in the entire season." Throughouttheseason the girls learned about teamwork, but they also learned about themselves. "Playing for JV helped me grow a lot," Luebbert said. "Most of the players were above me." The girls basketball teams' relentless efforts and teamwork produced an exciting and successful season. - by Sarah Needelman

"They gave me the courage and trengthlneeded whenlwas nervous in the big games," Hauptman said. Some games had a more significant impact than others. The Warriors learned and improved from these games. "After our double overtime loss to Millard South, we knew that we could compete with anyone in the state," junior Brent Connelly said. ''They were ranked at the time, and they helped us learn what it take to be winners." Senior leadership was an important factor to the teams' success, but it was not the only one. The Warriors had many weapon which helped them improve each day. Not only did the team demand improvement, but the coaches did, as well. Coach Tom Hall demanded that his team play hard every time that they stepped ortto the ba ketball court. "The intensity raised another notch every day at practice," se-
nior Jay Dostal said. "It got to the point where guys were getting hurt because we were playing o hard ." Even when the Warriors experienced tough losses, the team till remained positive and hardworking. Not only did the starters tay positive, but the non-starters, or the white team, remained positive and focused on the job they had to do. "We never dropped our head becau ewe did not play as much as orne of the team," senior Jo I Jan en said. "We made the starters work hard every day, in order for them to be prepared for that weeks' game." Even though the Warriors did not end up with a great record at 6-13, their attitudes, hard work and effort made them successful. "Our only goal was to be th best possible team we could be by the end of the year," Hall aid. "I think we met our goal, and that is all anyone can a k for."

Attitude were much the same for the re erve basketball team. "Our eason has been extremely up and down," coach John Lanninsaid. "We either won big or barely lost." The reserve basketball team con isted of many players who were on the dominating freshman basketball team of 1995. The 1996 boys freshman basketball team had a much harder time filling their shoes. "We definitely need to come together more as a team," freshman Phil Zach said. "We haven't had a chance to get to know each other, and that has really hurt us." Although the JV team did not have a winning season, many of the players considered themselves a succe . "I think we play really well as
a team," juniorBrianDeveresaid. "However, we need to work on maintaining the level of play we are capable of." Capability was never a problem for the reserve team. Con i tency was where they needed the most improvement. "We have very talented players with great size, but we need to improve on consistency and putting out our best effort every game," Lannin said. According to JV coach Ed Howe, attitudes were more important than the teams' record. "In terms of wins and losses, the season hasn't been great," Howe aid. "On the other hand, as far as improvement, willingness to work and effort, I'd ay this has been one of my best teams ever." -by Lois Schrager

"You're a part ofthe team without participating," senior Kathy Bognich said. "You feel the same excitement the players do." The job of a trainer was to be present incaseofaninjury. Train-

In order to become trainers, interested students watched upperclassmen or received directions from Tony Martinez, physical education instructor.

"In my class, I earned my certification in CPR and first aid," Rhedin said.

The planning for the 1996 Volume 44 Shield started in the one and only "J-Room." Various ideas brought back from summer workshops at Kansas State University and the University of Kansas were helpful with the brainstorming of the theme. Several hours of this brainstorming led to the creation of a new and exciting theme, "The Road Not Taken." The idea was inspired by Robert Frost's famous poem, "The Road Not Taken." There was a consensus of opinion to use a wavy, "road-like" line as a graphic mechanism to distribute the theme to all pages in the book. The cover was designed during a day trip to the Jostens plant in Topeka, KS, with the help of plant artist Lori Bezek. Art work on the cover and endpages was completed by senior Britta Bucholz. Others involved in the book's production were Jostens yearbook representative Jay Anderson and plant consultant Linda Berry. There was a wide array of type used in the book, which came pr~arily from the Macin~osh Power Mac 61 OOs in the "J-Room." Theme headlines were created on TypeS tyler using Bondi Poster font. In addition, all stories were written in 10-point Palatino. Candid photos were taken and developed by staff photographers, and all stories were written by staff members and editors. Lifetouch National School Studios shot the photos of sports groups. We wish to graciously thank Deanna VanDriest, Student Study Center director, for her diligent, time-consuming assis tance regarding the identification of underclassman photos and her su ggestions for placement corrections~ A special word of thanks is also extended to our magnificent adviser, Rod Howe, who, "after such a wonderful display of work ethics" on the part of several staff members, cancelled all work nights during the early stages of the book's production, until final pages were d ue. Finally, to all members of the graduating Class of 1996, as you embark on your journeys and saunter down the many paths of life, always remember to follow the road not taken.

Farrakhan urged the rally to gain olitical control, fi ht racism and rid nei hborhoods of crime, dru s and violence.

nee the sun set Thursday, May 30, 1996, and the school doors closed for the last time, practically every person reflected on the events of the past few months, reminiscing about all the paths they had taken and the roads left to be traveled. For many, the year's journey was dominated by a series of sports-related highlights that could never be forgotten, such as the girls swimming and diving team's backto-hack state championship victory and the softball team's first-ever district championship. In addition, many students progressed academically. Underclassmen fulfilled several obligations, including the completion of proficiencies and the earning of service learning hours. Six seniors were selected as National Merit Finalists: Ann Augustine, Kevin Bylund, Brian Fearnow, Mike Frederick, Pete Smart and Julie Wood. Being a finalist gave these students opportunities to compete for a variety of valuable scholarships. Seniors Brian Dietrich and Fearnow achieved the distinction of being the co-valedictorians of the Class of 1996. The school was also honored for excellence, not only with "World Class" status, but also with one of 266 "Blue Ribbon School" awards given nationwide by the United States Department of Education to recognize exemplary school districts. On the national highway, a number of memorable events occurred. The bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, in which 169 people were killed, made everyone aware of domestic terrorism. In Los Angeles, several months of court testimony concluded when the 12 jurors in the O.J. Simpson case returned a verdict of "not guilty" in the brutal slashing deaths of Simpson's wife, Nicole, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. The case aroused much discussion about spousal abuse and prompted innumerable debates about Simpson's guilt or innocence. (continued on page 278)

(continued from page 276) Serious news stories, however, were not the only things that captivated us on our path. We frequently gazed out the window to see a dramatic World Series, in which the Atlanta Braves defeated the Cleveland Indians, 1-0, to win baseball's most prestigious championship. Football games, too, garnered an enthusiastic audience. Scores of Nebraska football fans flowed into the intersection of 72nd and Dodge Streets after the Cornhuskers soundly defeated the Florida Gators,62-24, Tuesday, Jan. 2, at the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, AZ, for a second back-toback championship. Super Bowl XXX, in which the Dallas Cowboys rallied to win against the Pittsburgh Steelers,27-17, was watched by an estimated 138 million viewers, making it the largest television audience in history. As the long and winding road came to an end, underclassmen found themselves preparing for a new grade level, as well -as for new and exciting challenges. For many graduating seniors, it was a time to veer off to a life away from home in a college-, military-, or work-related career. o matter their grade level, everyone discovered less-traveled roads that led them to a myriad of destinations.
