INKED TOGETHER AND BROUGHT ClOSER BY YET ANOTHER - CONNECTION

0 n July 29, 1988, Ceresco was blessed with a Lincoln telephone line. Many parents and students were pleased with the new line because it meant a serious reduction in their telephone bills. " Not only do I like it , but Mom does too because it 's easier on her pocketbook," stated Senior Colleen Bohmont.

With the addition of the new line, students found it easier to carry on a relationship with someone who lived in a different town. They also found it cheaper to do homework while on the phone. The biggest asset of all from the direct calling was the ability to create and strengthen friendships.

Ceresco proposed to get the di­rect line so businesses could contact

Lincoln or surrounding areas at no cost. Not only did the businesses ben­efit from the line, but the school found it cheaper to call to Ceresco to find out about absent students.

The proposal for the new line was brought about by Jim Weinberger of Ceresco, after he moved to town and found that it was not possible to call Lincoln without it being long-dis­tance. He did fund raising and pres­sured people to make it possible to add the line. People of Ceresco had to vote on whether they wanted the line, then they had to sign up to acquire the line.

Overwhelming amounts of peo­ple responded positively to the line. There were, however, those who did not favor the it. because they never called Lincoln or other towns.

This year 's Senior class officers are Vice Presi­dent Shane Jansa , President Bill Jacobs . T rea­surer Colleen Bohmont , Sponsor Corrine Forbes, and Secretary Jennifer Grant.

0/NG FOR GREEN A NEED FOR CASH COMPElS SEN IORS TO FIND WORK

've got to be at work by four. " Mary Steinmetz was one of several seniors who raced out of school in or­der to get to work on time. Along with classmate Terry Kruse, Mary found working at Shopko a good source of income. "Luckily," commented Terry, "during basketball season I only had to work on the weekends."

There were various jobs held by the students. Being a checkout clerk at one of Lincoln's busiest 24-hour su­permarkets, Supersaver, allowed Trina Graham to work unusual hours .

Michelle Nelson put her talents to work by tutoring young trumpet players in her home. The first chair trumpeter in the Mustang band, Mi­chelle, "Encourages young players to follow through with their musical de­sires."

Regardless of the type of job they got, the seniors had one thing in com­mon, a need for money.

RUTCH BUDDIES MAKE PARALLEL COMEBACKS AFTER SIMILAR OPERATIONS

D uring the last week of Novem­ber and the beginning of December, tragedy struck two seniors, Amy Be­nes and Dean Oberg. Their injuries re­quired reconstruct ive surgery on their left knees.

For the next month , students were aware that they should stay out of the way of the "crutch buddies." Anybody who got in their way were run over by the duo. Dodging people and racing through the halls kept the spirit of Amy and Dean light. They found it an interesting challenge to see if it was possible to get to class in three minutes.

The light-heartedness was defi­nitely needed by these two. They were faced with going to therapy and working with their injured limbs. Pain

and agony could be seen on their faces each time they got back from their therapy sessions, but the pain was only a small stepping stone on the road to complete recovery.

As the year wore on, the sights of crutches dwindled. Amy and Dean gave up the crutches and started to walk without aids , except their cum­bersome braces. Eventually. the braces left and a definite sign of relief had taken hold of their faces .

" It 's so much easier to get around the halls now without my 'other legs ,' " commented Amy. She felt a lot bet­ter because she was not in so much pain.

" It wasn ' t as painful physically as it was mentally because I was unable to finish my career in sports in my se­nior year .'' Dean added.

Anxiously awa11mg the day to throw away the crutches , Dean Oberg and Amy Benes slowly recover from knee llliUrles.
