drrzinistration aced with ChallengesThe administration of Papillion HighSchool was faced with some critical chal

lenges in the 1968-6 9 school year.With enrollment at PHS alone toppingthe 1000 mark and primary schools full tothe brim, two bonds for construction of expanded educational facilities were submittedto School District 27 voters.The first bond, which allotted 950,000to build an addition to PHS and provide morefacilities at Parkview Heights and CarriageHill elementary schools, passed by a vote of377 to 237However, at a School Board meetingon November 4 architects informed the

Board that the projected high school addition would rest on a flood plain, necessitating the driving of pilings which wouldcause considerable extra expense.After a thorough re-study of the situation, another bond of 1.2 million wasproposed. t would have built a new twophase high school between Papillion andLaVista, turning PHS into a junior high;but the bond issue failed by a 553-463margin.After this turbulent school year, theadministrators still face problems in theirquest to retain a high level of quality ineducation at Papillion.

Then the master of ceremonies, Steve Dort,introduced Stuart Lehr and Barb Eastep, who readthe senior class prophecies.ophomore waite r s and waitresses dressedas slaves to conform to the Gone With the Windtheme. For another first in prom history, the serv-ants were allowed to bring dates.Between numbers by the Fay Hogan Experiment, dancers drank punch and visited the floweredgazebo provided by the junior Class decoratingcommittee. Also popular was the view of Omahafrom the terrace room, illuminated by sporaticlightning.At midnight the formally attired assemblagebroke up, the girls regretfully relinquishing theirCinderella ideal and the guys glad to take off thattux

atsity Wrestling Teartz Wins onorsThe wrestling season opening December 4 brought Varsity wrestlers an unparal

leled perfect season and many honors.Wrestling is only three years old atPHS, but the exciting sport has capturedthe interest of the whole school. In a letterto wrestlers' parents, head coach Bartledescribed the challenge of the sport.Since the wrestler succeeds or failssolely on the merits of his own efforts,the sport is a prime developer of fightingspirit, tenacity in the face of adversity andself-reliance. His mistakes cannot be covered up by teammates and the coach cannotmake decisions for him.Individual achievement m rked the1968-69 season. At the Ak-Sar-Ben Conference Tourney Dan Henn tied the nationalhigh school record with a 13-second pinand Wayne Bradley defeated last year'sClass B state champion to become Ak-SarBen Conference champion.The Monarchs took home a first placetrophy from the Ak-Sar-Ben meet andlaterat District qualified four wrestlers for Statecompetition. At the state meet Byron Houghtook third place. The team won the BeatriceInvitational Championship and ended theseason with a winning streak of 16, thelongest in the state.

Dick Henn attempts to flip his man to get him onto his backfor a pin. Dick won 31 matches this year including twochampionships.
