Radio began in the early I800's when a Princeton professor, Joseph Henry, discovered that a current in one wire can produce a current in another wire even though the wires aren't touching. In 1895, an Italian inventor, Guglielmo Marconi, sent the first communication signals through the air. At that point radio had begun. The first words were spoken on the air by Reginald A. Fes­ senden in 1906. In 1910,the first radio program was broadcast from the Met­ ropolitan Opera House in New York. The first radio station opened up in 1920,WWJ out of Detroit. 1925marked the beginning of the Golden Age of radio. At this time radio became a ma­ jor source of family entertainment. Soap operas started and comedians made audiences laugh with situation comedies. After the end of the Golden Age music soon became popular to listen to on the radio, especially by teenagers. So far it has been like that for all of our lives, and it probably al­ ways will be.

4 Opening It's Only Rock 'n Roll''

But "we" like it, yes we do

The Stones -1975 It really is only rock 'n roll. Rock is our generation's number one pick of music to listen to. The stu­ dent life of Assumption is always backed by some form of music. Maybe it's cruising around in our cars with nothing to do but sing along to the radio. Or maybe it's a wild party with a huge stereo blasting away our eardrums. There's also many rock concerts in town throughout the school year to go see. Even our Home­ coming bonfire had a band that was definitely the highlight of the night. We can remember back to our childhood days of rock 'n roll. Re­ member artists like Hall and Oates , Pat Benatar, Human League, Loverboy , The Police, Blondie, Olivia Newton John, Bee Gees, and many other groups or people of old? They all contributed to what we will and have become, because we looked up to them as our idols. We will always remem­ ber the music and keep it with us.

Opening 5 6 Division ACTIVITIES

Division 7 "Coming Home'' The Homecoming festivities be­ gan on Sunday, October 16. Seni­ ors once again decorated B-wing, juniors E-wing, sophomores S­ wing, and freshman A-wing. Im­ mediately following the decorat­ ing, the powder puff game be­ tween senior and junior girls attracted large crowds. The in­ tense game sparked emotional and physical outbursts, but the more experienced senior team prevailed winning 30-0. Monday morning, after both teams met with Mr. Tom Sunderbruch, the rumor circulated this tradition of the powder puff game might be eliminated due to its·intensity. Tuesday the senior girls (the se­ cret admirers) decorated the rooms of the senior sports players they had drawn the previous week. The secret admirers cov­ ered a typical room with stream­ ers, balloons, and lots of candy. Wednesday night the annual bonfire took place. The student band "Deadline" rocked the aud and ended by receiving a standing ovation from the crowd. High spir­ its and excitement filled the air as Father Paul Deyo announced Wendy Vogt queen of the 1989 Homecoming. At the bonfire head football coach Mark Kaczmarek led the crowd in "Father Abra­ ham" to show Assumption's fam­ ily atmosphere.

10 Homecoming ''You Shook Me All Knight Long'' Thursday morning Father David Steinle celebrated the Homecom­ ing mass amid colorful posters, balloons, and streamers. The pep assembly created even more ex­ c item en t that carried over throughout the afternoon to the big game. The caravan from Assumption to Brady Street Stadium was a huge sucess. In the final minute heartbreaking loss, the North Wildcats defeated AHS 12-10. Later the Iowa High School Ath­ letic Association ruled that AHS had indeed won the game due to an ineligible North player. Though many students were exhausted from the previous eve­ ning's game, student council, the Homecoming commitee members, and other students helped deco­ rate the cafe for the dance. As in Bottom Left: Josh Burghoffer and the year before, school was dis­ queen Wendy Vogt enjoy the ride in the missed early so students had Corvette convertible driven by Mr. Larry more time to prepare for the dance Vogt.

Homecoming 11 ''Time is on My Side'' In the game or contest, in practice or out, all sports and club members put in many hours, effort, and money into ''their'' event. The members of the play spent many hours at practices. Senior Bob Grady stated, "We would look at the practice schedule and it would say 6:30 p.m.-? that night. Sometimes we stayed until 10:30 or even 11:00. " Cheer­ le ad er s, Knight Kompany, SADD members, and Student Council members made sure that the decorations and post­ ers for every event were per­ fect. Knight Beacon and year­ book members spent many free periods finishing layouts to make their deadlines. Although the "little sports" such as volleyball, swimming, cross-country, and golf often took second place to the foot­ ball teams, Assumption stu­ dents showed their support at pep auds and by the number of people at events. Sport and club members also tried to concentrate on other ac­ tivities to change their regular routine. Whether this activity in­ cluded eating, singing, or danc­ ing to a song, each activity car­ ried a special meaning for that person.

16 Religious Life ''Keeping the Faith'' At Assumption keeping up the faith is an important part of our lives, and throughout the year masses, penance services, and the all school retreat made "keeping the faith" possible. The first all school mass on Sep­ tember 12 conveyed a feeling of spirit and family by including the dedication of the Mrs. Kahl Figge library. The liturgies held on holy days and special events brought teachers and students alike to­ gether to participate in the mass. The annual retreat held Novem­ ber 1 on All Saints Day featured the NET troupe who met with stu­ dents for group discussions throughout the day. Students brought in 25.8 pounds per student of can goods for the annual food drive. This con­ test, held between area schools, not only helped the area hungry, but also gave the winner a prize of $5,000. Once again Assumption walked away with a first place fin­ ish. As Lent came, priests through­ out the diocese came to Assump­ tion to hear confessions.

Religious Life 17 ''Holiday'' Holidays for most students in­ evitably mean vacation. A week and a half of no school at Christ­ mas is probably one of the best presents a teacher or student could receive. The three biggest holidays of the school year, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, lend them­ selves to the home scene with family and friends. Thanksgiving gives students the opportunity to gather with family and get togeth­ er that choice menu. Christmas time celebrates the coming home of both family and friends, but the bottom line is usually giving and receiving presents. Easter adver­ tises the famed bunny and bas­ kets of candy, but for AHS stu­ dents many remember the real reason for these holidays as the coming and ressurection of Christ. Other holidays are certainly not forgotten. Halloween screams and Valentine dreams celebrate two of the best holidays of the year. Rocking and rolling to a brand new year with a band, dance, or radio remains a favorite too. However, whenever, or with whomever AHS students spend Bottom Right: Senior Zib Martin sports the holidays, their Holiday mem- her Halloween sweatshirt. ories last forever.

20 Turnabout ''Some Guys Have All the Luck'' This year's theme " Some Guys Have All the Luck," broke away from the tradition of having the word " knight" in the theme title. Junior Laura Eshelman comment­ ed, " I think having the word 'knight' in the title shows loyalty to the school.'' The pep assembly to announce the king and court was held Jan­ uary 18. As Mr. Sunderbruch an­ nounced the nominees and es­ corts, everyone anxiously awaited the announcement of the king. Ex­ citement filled the air as Mr. Sun­ derbruch announced king Sean McQueen and court members Scott Harmsen, Steve Hood, Ed Holland, and Chad Manternach .

Behindthe Scenes

Every play needs a script, a director , a cast and , of course, a set. Thanks to Dan Dreyer with his dedication and wonderful talent " David and Lisa" had a great set. Because of the unusually large amount of scenes, the set required a multi-level for­ mat. Mr. Watson gave Dan the script in late August and he spent his vacation in Florida designing a rough draft. He met with Mr. Watson and Mr. Koenigsaecker at the begin­ ning of the school year and they drew the plan down to scale. Dan said he was happy with the results and the cast agreed. " However, running down a flight of steps in high heels and pitch black was a bit stressful at times, " said Mary Smith . Dan said he hopes to do this sort of thing again in college and he strongly recommends it to others.

Rosie , Mary Smith, his close and personal sec­ retary just wants to marry Albert and live a quiet life, so she thinks up a scheme to raise enough mon­ ey to send Albert back to college. It involves a young lady named Kim, Mandy Kraklio, and " One Last Kiss.'' After many conflicts with Mae, Sarah Reid, and other disasters, Rosie and Albert end up together.

27 Acting Innocent Assumption students are aware of the International Thespian So­ ciety but do they know what is involved in it? In order to become a member of the Thespian Society students should do something with the Assumption Drama De­ partment. This covers a large amount of territory : acting, lights, sound , make-up , publicity ,and tickets . The members get a certain number of points for different jobs. The Society sponsors workshops to Circa 21 and trips to see shows in Chicago. They also participate at the State Thespian Convention in the fall.

28 Thespians Debate One group at Assumption that works hard to get their point across is the Debate team. Al­ though the average student might not dwell on problems such as re­ forming prison over crowding or suppressing pornagraphy, the members of the Debate team make these problems their own as they learn all about their topics. The more they learn, the better chance they have of winning a round. Led by Ms. Connie King, the debaters have had a number of wins at the Dowling Tournament in West Des Moines and at the West High School Tournament in Iowa City. Ms. King comments that, "Debate has a wonderful oppor­ tunity for everyone involved."

Debate 29 " Agony claws my mind. I am a statistic . When I first got here I felt very much alone. I was over­ whelmed with grief , and I expected to find sym­ pathy. " I found no sympathy. I saw only thousands of others whose bodies were as badly mangled as mine. I was given a number and placed in a category. The category was called Traffic Fa­ talities." '"The day I died was an ordinary school day. How I wish I had taken the bus! But I was too cool for the bus. I remember how I wheedled the car out of Mom. " Special favor," I pleaded. " All the kids drive." When the 2:50 bell rang, I threw my books in the locker . I was free until 8:40 tomorrow morning! I ran to the parking lot-excited at the thought of driving a car and being my own boss. Free! " It doesn't matter how the accident happened. I was goofing off- going too fast. Taking crazy chances. But I was enjoying my freedom and having fun.The last thing I remember was passing an old lady

who seemed to be going awfully slow.I heard a deafening crash and felt a terrific jolt.Glass and steel flew everywhere. My whole body seemed to be turning inside out. I heard myself scream. ··suddenly , I awakened. It was very quiet. A police officer was standing over me. Then I saw a doctor . My body was mangled. I was saturated with blood. Pieces of jagged glass were sticking out all over. Strange that I couldn't feel anything. Hey, don't pull that sheet over my head! I can't be dead! I'm only 17! I've got a date tonight! I'm supposed to grow up and have a womderful life! I haven't lived yet! I can't be dead! " Later I was placed in a drawer . My folks had to identify me . Why did I have to look at Mom's eyes when she faced the most terrible ordeal of her life? Dad suddenly looked like an old man. He told the man in charge, " Yes-he is our son." "The funeral was a weird experience . I saw all my relatives and friends walk toward the casket. They passed by, one by one. and looked at me with the saddest eyes I've ever seen. Some of my buddies were crying. A few of the girls touched my hand and sobbed as they walked away. " Please-somebody-wake me up! Get me out of here. I can't bear to see Mom and Dad so broken up. My grandparents are so wracked with grief they can barely walk . My brother and sister are like zombies. They move like robots . In a daze. Everybody. No one can believe this, and I can't believe it either. " Please, don't bury me! I'm not dead! I have a lot of living to do! I want to laugh and run again. I want to sing and dance. Please don't put me in the ground . I promise if you give me just one more chance, God, I'll be the most careful driver in the whole world . All I want is one more chance. Please, God, I'm only 17."

Student Ambassadors Even though the students at As­ sumption appreciate its unique­ ness, students from other schools don't always know enough about it. Luckily we have Fr. Steinle and his group of student ambassadors to inform others about all Assump­ tion has to offer and to encourage them to attend Assumption. The student ambassadors talk with the seventh and eighth grad­ ers from area schools. They speak about Assumption's positive at­ mosphere both in academics and in extra-curricular activities. They then show the students around the building and answer any ques­ tions they might have.

The Band performs , along with the chorus, in a Fall, Christmas, and Spring concert. They also take many field trips to play at grade schools and for parades. After Christmas vacation, the band starts their annual pizza sale to make money for their trip in the spring. This year they went to St. Louis where, in addition to sight­ seeing, they talked with the faculty of an area college. One new addition this year was the new red carpeting in the band room. The band students helped with the expenses by selling citrus fruit. Assumption also has many branches of the band: the pep band, heard at football and bas­ ketball games, the pit band, heard during the musical, the jazz band, heard at the concerts , and DEAD­ LINE, heard at dances.

Band 35 "The Piano Man" Everyone knows that a chorus could not be a chorus without some sort of music to sing. Thanks to senior Nora Havlik's wonderful ability of playing the pi­ ano, the chorus does a better job. This talented individual has played the piano for five years and has been the official accompianist for the chorus since sophomore year. Nora gives private lessons in her home and is also active in the band and musicals at Assumption. Mr. Logue greatly appreciates Nora's talent and cooperation. Nora will attend St. Louis Uni­ versity next year and will be missed. " I love playing the piano but I always got nervous before concerts," states Nora.

36 Chorus ''The Soundof Music'' The Assumption chorus gives a sea­ sonal Christmas concert in the audi­ torium .

One of the many programs that has really grown at Assumption is the choral department. It devel­ oped from nineteen members four years ago to sixty members this year. Directed by Mr. James Logue, the chorus meets fifth pe­ riod every day. Some students even take ten minute lunches in order to come to the class. The chorus sings a variety of music styles from classical to pop songs. They perform throughout the Quad Cities and sang on Channel 6 during the Christmas season and at the Davenport Bank, be­ sides entertaining for the grade schools. Senior Maggie Ploehn says, "This was my first year in chorus and I wish I would have joined sooner.''

Chorus 37 The fact that " One Fine Day" the Assumption alumni will look back on their high school days and turn to their old yearbook, The Ac­ colade, causes the yearbook staff to work especially hard. The staff is under the guidence of Ms. Su­ san Vize but she always stresses that the yearbook is a collection of the students' ideas and she is just there to guide. However, the staff appreciates help cropping a pic­ ture , figuring out the computer and frantic reminders of their up­ coming deadlines. The students showed dedication after hours, on free periods, and by coming in on their days off in order to make their deadlines.

38 Accolade ''One Fine Day''

The Knight Beacon has certainly grown this year. It went from a one person staff supported by twenty volunteers last year to a seven person staff and several volun­ teers this year. This difference is obvious in the growing success of the student newspaper. When the Knight Beacon issues come out they are snatched up immediately by the student body. Although the students usually turn first to the pictures, they can also find many interesting stories on sports, AHS activities and other local and world happenings. The Gems Stones and Student of the Month columns are other big hits. I

Knight Beacon 39 ' 'Hopelessly Devoted'' This year Assumption 's National Honor Society had a total of 12 members . They were chosen ac­ cording to their grade point average, leadership qualities, extracurricular activities and service to the school. Mrs. Cathy Tucker led the meet­ ings and scheduled such events as the community service project at the Festival of Trees. The National Hon­ or Society also helped the student council with the annual food drive. They combined their time and efforts to make signs, gather food and load boxes. All this hard work paid off though because Assumption came in first place winning $5000 for our school.

40 National Honor Society "It's Your Thing" One of the benefits of owning a varsity letter, besides the sheer honor, is being a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The FCA organization meets approximately twice a month. Pre­ sided over by Mr. Mark Kaczmarek and Mr. Randy Nor­ ton, the FCA members get togeth­ er for a fun night of athletic en­ tertainment.

Without this active organ­ ization, who would be responsible for all the dances and community projects like the Student Hunger Drive that make Assumption so special? The members met ap­ proximately once a month super­ vised by Deacon Robert Larson. The student council, under the leadership of President Pete Hal­ ligan, Vice President Kevin Solis, Secretary Michelle McAtee, and Treasurer John Schlicting, worked hard to provide the administration with the students' ideas such as the suggestion to have more dances . According to Lori Bar­ ton,'' Student Council is a great or­ ganization to get involved in. It was fun being able to make a dif­ ference in Assumption's activi­ ties."

60 Juniors "The Cradle Will Rock" Many cradles rocked for a cycle as the members of the Child Development class became proud new parents. In the attempts to prove that parenting is a time consuming job that requires much responsibility, the class had to construct babies to be as life-like as possible. For an entire cycle, sacks of potatoes, cans, and bags of flour were wrapped in blankets and had to be taken to class and accounted for every minute of the day. Weighing in at a slight 5 pounds, Suzanne Quigley's baby poses with her mom and babysitter Jenny Even. "I'm tempted to just cram this sack of flour in my locker, but you just can't do that to a baby. At least I don't have to change her diapers!" comments Suzanne. Throughout the has­ sles of the cycle students learned that parenting is a lifetime commitment.

''Lazy Days And Crazy Nights'' Students dozing off in classes or in the cafe is a common sight at Assumption during the week. Jobs and extra-curricular activities keep students busy and tired . Bob Grady said " Every Monday I'm a purveyer of the drool pool.'' Still, there is a time to relax, kick back, and party. Students cruise to various places during the week­ ends, including games, fast-food places, parties, and just around town. Senior Annette Lemek commented , " We party because we can."

On the other side of the globe, millions of Chinese students protested in Tienanmen Square, Beij­ ing, China, demanding democracy. Se­ vere riots broke out resulting In hun­ dreds of deaths. Back in the US, two major natural disasters hit. Hurricane Hugo ravished the East Coast causing most damage in South Carolina.

Certain teachers inspire enthu­ siasim in their students simply by virtue of their having a good sense of humor. Two teachers who do this well are Gary Laake and Lynn Day. In Gary Laake's Accounting and Financial Management class­ es he often tells a joke to relax the mood of class until they get down to business. Mrs. Lynn Day's Eng­ lish classes emphasize communi­ cation. There is often an exchange of witty ideas designed to make students think. These kinds of teachers make students get in­ volved with the learning process.

Welcome to deadly D wing, the hall that takes students back to the past. If D wing is a scary hall, don't worry and don't feel alone. To many people, D wing means history projects, long tests , and tons of notes, but as the year goes on, students discover that there is also much to be learned about America, and how it was started, and how different cultures work . Many students even find Assump­ tion's history classes interesting. While cruising down D wing look into one of the rooms and notice the nice teachers.

Some of these include World Civilizations and World Cultures taught by Mr. Koenigsaecker.

In this class seniors learn about our government that started with the Constitution which is still in use today . Mr.Murphy teaches U.S. History to the juniors. This course empha­ sizes the heritage of our country from Columbus to present day.

Academics 93 "Every Day I Write the Book." Papers to write, books to read, and no time to do any of it. This is a common complaint heard by many of the English students as they work countless numbers of hours on their English assign­ ments. But all of this is counter­ acted by the fact that the students learn to write creatively, and get a better feeling of what will be ex­ pected of them in college. The freshmen are always surprised as they come to English for the first time, and have to learn to write papers. Freshman Sarah Pohlmann says, "On my first day of school, I tried to go home sick, because I was so scared to go to English, but now I look forward to English, but only because I get to walk by all of the cute junior boys.

' 'Hey teacher, leave them kids alone''

I am sure this thought goes through many students' minds as they are trying to learn about one of our many complex math courses. Assumption High offers a large variety of math courses, ranging from the early bird algebra course for the eighth graders from surrounding schools, to the com­ plex ·courses like Pre Calculus, and trigonometry.

96 Academics Top Left: Students study intensely for an upcoming math exam.

The dedicated math teachers start with Mrs. Georgia Howard, who teaches Basic Geometry, Con­ sumer Math, and Algebra 1, A and B. Miss Maureen O'Connor teaches Algebra 2, Honors Geom­ etry, Trigonometry, and Algebra I. Mr. Tom Lawler teaches Honors Algebra 1 , Algebra 1 , and Honors Algebra 2. Mr. Dave Wolfe teach­ es Geometry, and a number of computer courses. Sr. Laurent Nugent, CHM teaches Calculus, Pre-Calculus.

Academics 97 ' 'Science'' One of the all time favorite proj­ ects for the physical science class at Assumption would have to be the Physics Olympics. The Physic Olympics entails making one of these three projects: The mouse trap car, the ping pong ball toss, and the can roll. The winners of these three areas go to the state qualifications in Des Moines, and compete against kids from all othor schools. Senior Dan Dreyer says his most memorable time at Assumption High was when he made it to the state qualifications with his project. Top Left: Sister Donna teaches her students the fun of science.

''Express Yourself'' When students or teachers walk into Assumption's artroom, they do not see a plain room, but in­ stead, their eyes delight in a col­ lage of wall art. They see every­ thing from an innocent ballerina, to a psycho skater, a skeleton, and the American flag. The art stu­ dents express themselves, and their feelings, in many forms, with­ out any worry of undue censorship from the art teacher Mr. John Dobbs, who wants his students to feel comfortable in his room.

100 Academics ''Hey Good Lookin' '' The Home Economics Department always has something cookin '. The foods departmant is always tempting the students' and f ac­ ulty' s taste buds with mouth wa­ tering aromas filling the halls. As many people may have noticed, the child development class car­ ried around bags of flour, or sacks of potatoes wrapped up in a baby blanket. This was so the students could get a feel of what it's like to have a baby and go to school at the same time. The teacher, Mrs. Betty Stratman , is always " cooking up" new projects to make her classes fun.

Academics 101 Seniors Get Married Many people may be wondering why the seniors are getting mar­ ried. Well, every year the senior marriage class, taught by Father David Steinle, chooses marriage partners, and goes through what might be called a "quickie" mar­ riage. Seniors get married for one semester, and learn all about plan­ ning a wedding, and being mar­ ried. Many students discover the reality of the expense of marriage, and the many problems that mar­ ried couples encounter. However, Father Steinle "annuls " their mar­ riages after one semester.

During the first semester students learn about Cathol icism in a survey course, and in the second semes­ ter, take an overview of the Old Testament. The sophomores learn an overview of the New Testa­ ment, and discuss the different as­ pects of morality . The juniors make an extensive study of the meaning of mass , and take a Comparative Religion Course. The seniors survey Christian Marriage, and an in depth course on Ethics.

Sound familiar? P.E. is always the class that everyone looks forward to, because it pro­ vides time to unwind, have a little fun, and maybe even vent a little frustration on a vigorous game of mat ball. Senior Beth Vargas says, " I always look forward to P.E., because it gives me a chance to relax, and catch up on some juicy gossip about what happend over the weekend." The Fresh­ men are always surprised by the pleasures of being in high school P.E. The activities in P.E. include badminton , mat ball, soft ball, archery, floor hockey, weight lift­ ing, pass ball, and wrestling.

Continuing a three year tradition, the Assumption High School Prom was held in the gymnasium the evening after the April Knight Gala and the Post Prom Party was held at Wells Fargo Lanes in Bettendorf. Around the town, couples could be seen picking up dates, getting pictures taken, and even arriving to the dance in limos. Although some students chose to eat out, many also chose to eat at home. One lucky group of seniors chose to eat their dinner on the river in a parent's house boat. This year's Prom found students walking through the gym doors and into a New York decorated with black, white, and silver streamers and wall decora­ tions. Many students expressed their amazement at how the gym was transformed. Junior Heather Stanger agreed by saying, "You didn't feel like you were in a gym. It looked so beautiful." Couples danced through the night to music provided by the The Entertainment Source and proceeded to the Post Prom Party held until 3:30 a.m. The entire night proved to be a huge success. Senior Scott Haynes stated, "Prom proved to be a good way to end my high school dance experience.''

On Sunday, March 25, the Assumption cafeteria was transformed into what looked like a reception for the Emmy Award winners. Rock-and-Roll stars walked about carry trays, pouring coffee and clearing tables. Although not all were recognized right away, celebrities such as Axle Rose, the Robert Palmer Girls, KISS, and Debbie Gibson were always willing to sign autographs. The meal consisted of the traditional spaghetti, garlic bread, lettuce salad and pie. Susan Pezley said, "Although it was a lot of work, I had fun. I '11always leave a tip from now on!" The seniors worked hard to make the night a success and became closer in the process.

The boys districts are run a little different­ ly. They don't have a district meet. Instead all the times of the year from the meets of four or more schools are compiled, and the top sixteen in each event qualify. This year the Knights hope to qualify Brian V otroubek in 100 meter and 200 meter; Tom McAleer in the 40 hurdles; Jeff Fichtner in 1600 meter; and Tom O'Brien, Brian Votroubek, Scott Haynes, and Jeff Fichtner in the 1600 meter medley relay.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot Assumption's preseason soccer team got started with a win against Moline. They continued the regular · season with another great win over West 2-1. After that the team slip­ ped into a small slump with big 1 losses against Muscatine, Central, and Iowa City High. These losses may be attributed to the Knights notorious aggressive behavior. Un­ fortunately, they lead the conference in red cards (warnings for malicious behavior). But the wild boys manag­ ed to pull themselves together with a good showing at the Solon tourna­ ment. In twenty minutes they scored four goals against Solon. Later they finished second overall in the tourna­ ment. Then the Knights headed back to Assumption to give Bettendorf a run for their money.

The team thrived without the help of Senior returnees as Amy Pohlmann advanced from the 114 to the 111golfer, and Angie Link moved from the 116to 112posi­ tion. Coach Gary Laake has a two year plan due to the entire team returning with much ex­ perience next year. The goals set include winning sectionals, ad­ vancing to regionals, and finishing in the top 5 in the MAC conference. Missing 4th place in the MAC by one stroke still allowed the team to reach their top 5 goals. "There is no justice", claims Coach Laake, but he is pleased with the girls Left to Right: Amy Pohlmann, Angie Link, Coach Gary Laake, Laura showing results after 1 year of Eshelman, Cathy Kellenberger, and Ann Howard. experience.

''We've Only Just Begun'' Baccalaureate: the beginning of the end for the class of 1990. Ceremonies were held on May 20 at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Davenport. Bishop Gerald O'Keefe celebrated the Mass with co-celebrants Fr. Paul Deyo and Fr. David Steinle. The seniors lined up at Sacred Heart's elementary school and marched over to the church with teachers following behind. The Assumption chorus sang beautifully and the Mass came off without a hitch. Ms. Susan Vize comments, "The Bac­ calaureate ceremony adds a sacred formality to the gradua­ tion process." Heidi Krueger also stated: "It was very in­ spirational and got me excited ! for graduation day.''

Gowns. Mortar Boards. Tassles. Diplomas. Parents. Friends. Celebrations. All of these things are sure signs of a great moment in one's life: graduation - a major transition from childhood into adult life. Commencement exercises were held in Assumption High's gymnasium on June 1, 1990, at 7:45 p.m. The guest speaker at graduation this year, Marcus Pohlmann, graduated from Assumption in 1968. The gym­ nasium, filled to capacity with family, friends, teachers, and all those involved with the Assumption family, served as the final scene for this rite of passage by graduates. As for the class of '90 they look forward to the time beyond graduation and getting on with their lives. The summer will be perhaps the last time to make enduring memories of the whole senior class as everyone will part next fall. Mary Smith com­ ments, "I know I'll see people over vacations, but nothing will be the same.'' Chris Beasley says that, "People don't change. They just rearrange.'' Good luck to the class of 1990. May you never stray too far!
