It Is with great pride that I welcome you to our campus.

communltyt with its generous support and encouragement over the years. Is
important to Casper College. We have watched our campus grow into one of the
finest anywhere, and it could not have been done without you.

commitment carries over into our athletic programs as well. We take a great
deal of pride in the fact that our forensics, music, nursing and business
programs are recognized nationally.

nationally. In men’s basketball and rodeo, few colleges have made a bigger
mark. And last year, our Lady T-Blrd basketball team made the first of many
appearances In the national tournament.

While there has been negative publicity surrounding college athletics, there
are still many bright' spots.
Athletics can serve as a rallying point for
students, faculty, and the community.
We all enjoy watching these young
student/athletes mature and improve, and learn the lessons of life. We pride
ourselves In that they are better off for having been here.
This will be my final season as the "official" number one fan.
I hope you
will Join me in making it the best.

�The Athletic Staff
Swede Erickson
NJCAA President
Athletic Director
Few in the national basketball circles have not heard of Swede Erickson. Whether
it be as a coach, a friend, or through the United States Olympic Committee, most have
worked with Oscar Erickson. He is a devoted student of the game, and two years ago
finished his outstanding 29-year junior college coaching career with a record of 638
wins and 234 losses (a .730 winning percentage). He is the third winningest coach
in NJCAA history. It seemed only fitting, then, that after his coaching career, he would
become President of the NJCAA.
Swede is now the Director of the Casper College Foundation, and also serves as
athletic director at CC. During the past two years, he was instrumental in the building
of a new 4,000-square foot Fitness-Wellness Center at CC. He also watched the Lady
T-Birds take their first trip to the national basketball tournament. Ask him his goal,
and it remains the same as it was in 1958: he wants Casper College to wear a national
championship ring.
Erickson’s term as president of the NJCAA lasts another year. He says his goals
include a careful review of eligibility rules, and the establishment of a juco letter of
intent. Currently, athletes are not required to sign a binding letter. Erickson says the
NJCAA is also working on stablizing starting dates, numbers of games and scholarships
for every sport. “We hope to get back to term eligibility, and continue a long-range
planning strategy effort,’’ he adds.
Erickson is an avid outdoorsman. He has a wife, Artie, and two sons Kent and Brent.

Jean Wheatley
Associate Athletic Director
Jean Wheatley has helped to build one of the finest physical education departments
in the region during her 20 years at Casper College. She is also primarily responsible
for instigating women’s athletics among junior colleges in Wyoming.
Jean’s teams first began competition in 1972. The CC tennis coach from 1977-1984,
her teams won four Region IX championships. Under her guidance as Associate Athletic
Director, the CC women’s teams have won three conference championships in the last
six years.
Last year, Jean became director of the Fitness/Wellness Center on campus. She
is dedicated to teaching good health and physical fitness to her students. Besides
being an outstanding teacher, Jean Is an outstanding tennis player, as the many state
championship trophies on her mantle will attest. She has a husband, Stan, two
daughters, Georgia and Jennifer and a son, Greg.

�Pat Rafferty
Men’s Basketbail Coach
It didn’t take long for Pat Rafferty to establish himself in Region IX. During his first season
as a head coach, Pat's Thunderbirds went 17-15, captured a share of the Wyoming Conference
crown, and finished among the top five defenses in the nation. Few had given his team a chance
at .500, particularly when the record stood 3-8 in December. There were victories over Laramie
County, Northwest Wyoming (on the road) and Northeastern along the way. The foundation
and the philosophy were etched. He is ready for step number two, which is a return to
Hutchinson, Kansas and the national tournament. Before arriving at Casper, Pat was an
assistant coach at Eastern Montana, Northern Arizona, and the University of Idaho. A native
of Buffalo, Pat played at Northwest CC, and later at Eastern Montana.

Abe Steward
Women’s Basketball Coach
Abe Steward had a goal two years ago: to elevate Lady T-Bird basketball to the national
spotlight. It didn’t take long. In 1987, Steward and his ladies visited Senatobia, Mississippi
and the national tournament, after posting a 27-5 record, and winning the Region IX
championship by a whopping 30 points. In two seasons, Steward’s teams have won 52 and
lost just 12. Steward came to Casper College in 1970, and went on to become an All-America
player under Swede Erickson. He played at Jacksonville, and later with the Carolina Cougars
of the ABA. After his stint there, he played and coached in Brazil, before Swede lured him
“home” as his assistant. Abe has a wife, Arlene, and a son Trei.

Mary Schrad
Volleyball Coach
In two seasons at Casper College, Coach Mary Schrad has made her mark on Region IX.
Her teams have challenged for conference and regional honors while posting a fourth place
finish at Region IX in '85 and a second place finish in sub-region in ’86.
A successful volleyball and basketball coach at Lyman High School, Mary's volleyball teams
went 52-13, including two regional championships and a consolation winner at the state
tournament. In basketball, Mary’s teams posted a 53-12 record including two regional
championships and a state championship. Mary also earned Coach-of-the-Year and was named
the Shrine South All-Star Basketball Coach in 1985.
Mary is a graduate of Briar Cliff College (Iowa) where she was a standout in both volleyball
and basketball. She played professional basketball after college for the Iowa Cornets of the
now defunct Women’s Basketball League and spent three years playing basketball In the
European Women’s Professional League in Austria and Germany.

W. J. Wragge
Men’s Assistant Coach
A devoted pupil, W.J. has spent the past two seasons assisting the men's basketball
program—under Swede Erickson and now under Pat Rafferty. His dedication to Casper College
and to the T-Birds is unmatched. He studies the game, and gives generously of his time to
assure success for the red and white. His goal is to become a college coach. A native of
Sheridan, W.J. is a CC alum, and earned his degree from the University of Wyoming. He has
a wife, Janet (also a CC alum).

�CC unveils state-of-art Fitness Center
It is the latest approach to “total fitness.”
And Casper College unveiled it to the
public a year ago. The former agriculture
building-automotive shop has become a
4,600 square foot Fitness-Wellness Center,
featuring a Universal Aerobic Super Circuit
exercise system.
The concept of the system is simple,
according to the center’s director, Jean
Wheatley. Wheatley, who has taught physical
education at the college for the past 20 years,
said the super circuit does more than provide
stronger muscles.
“We’re not talking just strength and power,”
she said. “Participants alternate between
weight equipment and aerobic equipment for
a complete cardio vascular workout. That’s
why it is considered a total fitness program.”
The renovation of the building and the
purchase of equipment was made possible
through funds donated by the Casper College
Foundation. Swede Erickson, the Director of
the Foundation, said the facility has been
needed for a long time.
“It’s a need for the students,” he said. “It
is also a place where people can develop
good cardio-vascular health. This will help
our physical education cirriculum, what with
the emphasis in our society on total health.”
He sees the Fitness-Wellness Center as a
step toward a student recreation facility on
campus.
Wheatley said the center is open to
students, faculty and the public. The only
requirement is enrollment in PE 201-Fitness
and Wellness. Before using the equipment,
Wheatley says she is requiring participants
to go through an orientation.
Wheatley says Casper College took a page
out of the book of an Illinois junior college.
Carl Sandberg College in Galesburg, Illinois
put a fitness center together using
Universal’s “super circuit” system, and it was
met with enthusiasm by students and the
public. Joliet Junior College did the same,
and physical education enrollment there
doubled. More students from outside the
physical education interests got involved,
Wheatley said.

Weight rooms have traditionally been dark
and uninviting, she added. One of the goals
of CC officials was to provide a comfortable
place for recreational workouts with a
pleasant atmosphere.
The system itself has machines designed
to test respiratory efficiency, strength,
endurance and flexibility. Participants warm
up first on “aerobicycles,” then move to the
first of many weight training stations to
perform repetitions for 30 seconds. A
recorded voice instructs the participant to
move on to the next station, which is another
exercise bike. The entire workout, then,
alternates between lifting and aerobic
exercise. Computers register heart rate, body

Students, faculty and the public receive a complete cardio-vascular workout at Casper
College’s state-of-the-art Fitness Center.

Good Luck Coach Rafferty

fat and respiration.
Wheatley says one of the benefits of the
system is that it appeals to all age groups.
The weight stations, for instance, focus on
each part of the body. One is designed
specifically for the lower back.
Ron Wicks, the assistant director of the
facility, says adults can take the course as
many times as they wish. Students can earn
up to four credits In Fitness and Wellness 1
through 4. “We're really encouraging students
to make this a part of their college
experience,” Wicks said.
The Fitness Center is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Monday through Friday; 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.

�Begin Your Future at Casper College
Students enjoy friendly atmosphere, beautiful setting
For 43 years, Casper College has met the
community’s needs for higher education.
Today the tradition of academic excellence
continues.
Casper College is located in Casper,
Wyoming—the state’s largest city and the
hub of the state. Three major carriers serve
its international airport. On the south side of
the city is Casper Mountain, which offers
recreational activities like skiing and hiking.
On the north side is the new Casper Events
Center, which hosts concerts, ballet and
sporting events of all kinds.

“Any educational
institution must be
progressive if it is to
speak to students of
today and tomorrow.”
Any educational institution must be
progressive if it is to speak to students of
today and tomorrow. Casper College is that,
but administration, faculty and staff are
careful to balance new and progressive ideas
with solid and proven educational formulas.
The college recently entered into an
agreement with the University of Wyoming,
to offer four-year degree programs on
campus.
Since 1945, when 75 students enrolled, the
school has grown steadily. Now, 4,500
students from all over Wyoming and
surrounding states take advantage of
traditional and continuing education
programs.

One of the primary goals of the institution
is to provide programs parallel to the first two
years of those offered by baccalaureate
degree-granting institutions. But another is
to provide complete vocational and semiprofessional programs. Success in striking

Business classes are held at the modern Harry T. Thorson Institute of Business

that balance has placed Casper College
among the best community colleges in the
country.
The Casper College business department
is recognized as one of the finest. The school
is also known for its agriculture, music and
fine arts, nursing and physical sciences.
The campus, which overlooks the city from
the south, is distinctive with its beautiful
terrace landscapes and fine architecture.
Now 26 buildings dot the 175-acre campus.
The latest addition to the physical plant is
the Gertrude Krampert Theatre. This year, the
theatre and music departments will play to
capacity audiences.
While the basketball team has earned
national acclaim, Casper College is also

known for its varsity rodeo program, which
has won four national championships. It’s
debate and livestock Judging teams are
among the best in the region. The school’s
newspaper has won regional awards.
Campus activities range from outdoor
expeditions and dances to intramural sports
and student government.
For the student, Casper College offers a
wide variety of career options. But it’s also
a place to make lasting friends on the way
to tomorrow.
Casper College exists to meet the needs
of future leaders. The institution proudly
holds its tradition aloft, and looks forward to
the 1990s.

�RISING STARS

Rafferty’s second goal: trip to Nationals
Coach Pat Rafferty says he will look back
on the 1986-87 season with a lot of fond
memories.
For one thing, it was his first year as a head
coach. For another, his Casper College
basketball team accomplished far more than
anyone thought it could, winning 17 ball
games, capturing a share of the Wyoming
Community College Conference crown, and
finishing among the top five in the nation in
scoring defense.
Not bad. But for Rafferty, it was merely a
fondation; a learning experience. He’s
anxious to put that experience to work.
"Last year was a learning experience,”
Rafferty said. "I learned a lot about Region
IX, and about this program, and I think I have
a better understanding of what it takes.
"I hope we established an identity and a
philosophy. There were really a number of
things that allowed us to improve in February
and March. One was finding the right
combination. Another was that our kids
learned how to play hard for extended periods
of time. Losing a few kids (at Christmas) may
have been a blessing.”
Last year's team, 17-15 following
postseason play, was just 3-8 at Christmas
break. But the late-season streak was
credited to defense, which gave up just 63.7
points per game. Opponents’ field goal
shooting percentage was 43.1 percent.
Rafferty thinks this year’s team can be better
because he has better athletes.
The squad is led by sophomore Emanuel
Cross, a preseason All-American candidate
from Chicago. Cross was the fifth-leading
scorer in the region last year (18.9 per game),
and is already among CC’s all-time leaders
in that category. Add to that five rebounds per
game, 75 percent free throw shooting, and his
ball handling ability, and Rafferty says Cross
has the potential to be one of the best guards
in the country.
Rafferty also welcomes back Todd Betton
(6-5, Compton. California) and Sterling
Schroefel (6-0, Casper). Betton scored 10.5
points per game and led last year's team with
7.7 rebounds per contest. Schroefel split time
with Tyrone Taylor at the point guard slot, and
played in all 32 games.
“Those three should help the new kids
learn,” Rafferty said. “They know what to
expect. Also, they compliment each other;
Sterling with his effort and energy, and Todd
should help the front line. 'E' will lead just
by example.”
Rafferty has a talented group of
newcomers, as evidenced by an outstanding
preseason. Each one has demonstrated an
ability which can help carry this Thunderbird
team down the stretch.
Speaking of stretch, Shawn “Stretch”
Jamison (6-7, Los Angeles) is leading the
team in rebounding with 6.6 per game. He is
also the team’s second-leading scorer with

11 per outing. Another outstanding prospect
is Archie Tolliver, a 6-6 “Train” from Chicago.
Tolliver had 21 points and 12 rebounds at
Powell in December.
Other freshmen include Michael Hudson
(6-5, Los Angeles), Joel “J.T.” Thomas (5-9,
Chicago) and Melvin Nunn (6-3, Chicago).
Those three all played quality minutes during
the preseason. Robbie Jackson, the 6-0 guard
from Casper, had 18 points and 10 rebounds
in one outing. Another newcomer who spent
time in the starting lineup is Kendall Schmidt
(6-4, Englewood, CO).
Doug Lane (6-5, Powell), Shon Schroefel
(5-11 Sophomore), Roger Werin (Sweden) and
David DuBay (Rochester, MN) add quality
depth to the team.
Rafferty said he recruited these
newcomers with some priorities in mind. “As
you look at last year, we needed to be a better
shooting team (for the year, CC was 45.2
percent from the field and 62.8 percent on
free throws). Also, we needed better athletes
on the front line.
“We were not a great zone team last year,
and I hope to have that flexibility this year.
Potentially, we could be better than last year

defensively because we have better size and
quickness. Because we are a better shooting
team, that should make people play us more
honestly.”
In looking back at November and
December, the above has been the case.
Casper is second in Region IX in defense
(allowing just 42 percent shooting to the
opponent). Also, the T-Birds are shooting 49
percent from the floor.
While the 10-2 start is the best since the
Tony Martin-Eric Davis team of 1980-81, the
T-Birds could easily have been unscathed
going into the holidays. In the losses to
Eastern Utah and Ricks, Casper had leads of
double digits against both, before losing in
the closing moments.
Rafferty admits that he is proud of the
start, but emphasizes how far this team has
to go. “I'm not satisfied offensively, and I
think we can get better defensively,” he said.
If this club can find "chemistry” and
maturity by February, there is a good chance
it will contend for the Region IX
championship. Local fans would like that,
since regionals are right here in their own
back yard.

Rafferty applauds his Region IX-leading defense

Robbie Jackson

5-9 Freshman
Chicago^ IL

6-0 Freshman
Casper, WY

Out of Paul Robeson High School, dished off 10
assists per game ... caught Rafferty’s eye because
of unselfish play ... led team to a first place finish
In conference, and fourth in Illinois ... all-conference
as senior ... quickly established court leadership
during early season ... scored 17 points and had 5
assists his first game ... is working hard on defense
... majors in business administration.

Rafferty’s Comments: "He’s the g/ue. His demeanor
on offense is the critical element. Defensively, he
needs to be more assertive, but that will come with
strength and maturity. The point guard is the most
important player on the floor."

’’GoodLuck, T-Birds”

An outstanding prep athlete from Kelly Walsh ...
lettered in basketball and track ... was named all­
conference and all-state two years in a row ... a high
jump and long jump champion in track ... holds
unofficial Wyoming high school record for scoring 63
points in one state tournament game ... obviously
has great offensive ability ... averaged 18 points his
senior season ... gives the Birds another outside
dimension ... needs to learn defense and get
stronger to be effective ... has a great future at
Casper College.

Rafferty’s Comments: “I am reaily happy with
Robbie in every area. He is a very good, instinctive
offensive player. His future is at the point guard
position."

TONY MARTIN

Rafferty’s Comments: “A good stand-up jump
shooter. I would like to see him become more
physical; that comes from his European background
in playing. He is the type of person who will make the
adjustment. A fine human being.”

Doug Lane
6-4 Freshman
Powell, WY
Led his Panther high school team to first in the
west ... an all-state selection as a senior ... also
starred in track ... averaged 13 points and 8
rebounds as a senior ... a hard worker on the court
... has nice touch and can play the off-guard
position ... lack of competition in high school
means hard work as a T-Bird ... will earn minutes If
he learns intensity.

Rafferty’s Comments: “Needs to turn loose and
play. I hope Doug will become a more physical player,
and leave the finesse behind. If he continues to work
hard, he will challenge for time.”

��COVER STORY

A season to remember: Ladies win it all
It was the kind of season Lady T-Bird fans
will talk about for a long time.
It exceeded everyone’s expectations but
Abe Steward’s. Coach Abe knew all along that
his 1986-87 basketball team would win the
region. He knew they would go to Nationals.
They not only did both, but they
established some wonderful milestones
along the way ... like 27 wins, most in the
school’s history, and a first-ever Region IX
championship. Sophomore guard Serbrina
Andrews was named All-America, the only
Lady T-Bird ever to enjoy that honor. And three
players, Andrews, Krisser Kiever and Sheryl
Schroefel, made the all-tournament squad.
(Despite Casper's dominance of the region,
only Andrews made the all-region team.)
Steward took the incredible ride in stride.
Perhaps it was the determination from the
year before. His sophomores had suffered a
disastrous one-point loss to Central
Wyoming College the year before in the
championship game. That made coach and
players all the more set on a trip to
Mississippi.
The season itself started innocently
enough. After five games, CC had hardly
proven a thing; the record said 3-2, with
losses to Utah Tech and Sheridan College.
Later, a loss at Miles City made the record 5-3.
But after that, the Lady T-Birds took flight.
They would lose just one more game in the
next 22 outings. There was a 53-51 setback
at Nebraska Western, but the next loss would
not come until the second game of the
national tournament.
If there were any doubts at the Region IX
tournament who the top team was, the Lady
T-Birds erased them. They absolutely
decimated opponents. They beat Mid-Plains
73-50, Miles City 64-40, and Western Wyoming
in the championship 76-28. The average
victory margin: 33 points.
They had earned their trip to Senatobia,

Miss. That was more than enough for their
fans, but this team took one more step. In
their opener, the Lady T-Birds ousted Cowley
County, Kan. 72-60 before bowing out to the
eventual national champion. Northeast
Mississippi, 88-57. In the women’s
tournament, there is no third game for a
second-round loser.
“I knew that team would win the region,”
Steward reflects. “Sheryl, Serbrina and
Krisser were my first recruits. We thought we
could get there the first year, but we were a
bit outmanned. I knew they had time to
develop.”
There were, of course, some other
important contributors. Shelley Anderson, a
6-3 center who sat out the previous season
to earn a starting spot, and Karen Brinton
were the sophomores. Brinton battled knee
problems all season, but was considered the
quiet hero by Steward.
Suzette Haller, Kim Near, Kelly Galloway,
Jeanette Scheitel and Laura Eisenbraun were
the freshmen who benefitted from their
teammate’s large leads. Eisenbraun had 8
points in the championship game, and Haller
had 6.
Three players off that team are playing
elsewhere this year. Andrews and Schroefel,
who combined for more than 30 points and
10 assists per game, became a package deal
for College of the Ozarks in Missouri. Kiever
will play at Eastern New Mexico.
Steward says he has seen enough to know
that Casper can compete on a national level.
He won a game at nationals with a roster that
had only two out-of-state players, something
he points to proudly. He credits Wyoming’s
high school girls’ athletic programs forthat.
“My goal is to take this program as far as
it will go, to become a national contender,”
he says. “That was the same goal I had as
a player here, to get to nationals, and then
to have the chance to win it.”

Newcomers Vicki Williams and Julie Gustafson have big shoes to fill.

�CC Spikers reach new heights at 33-9
T-Birds finish 2nd in
Region IX tourney
Coach Mary Schrad says she won’t get over
it for a long time.
To come so far and to lose by so little
always hurts. But Schrad and her Lady T-Bird
volleyball players can take some consolation.
After all, they did finish second in the
regional tournament—the best finish ever for
Casper College—and they did lose to a team
that ultimately finished fourth In the nation.
And they won more matches than any other
Lady T-Bird team had.
The Lady T-Birds finished the 1987 season
at 33-9-1. Their final loss came to Northwest
CC in the championship match of the Region
IX tournament. That, after the red and white
had battled through the losers' bracket with
four straight wins to make the finals.
"I haven't gotten over it,” Schrad admits.
“But I feel better realizing what (NWCC) did
at Nationals. We played great In the
tournament. We rose to all occasions, and we
did it the hard way. Losing to a team that
finished fourth in the nation eases the pain
a little.”
It was indeed an outstanding season for
Casper College. With only five losses during
the regular season, CC defeated every team
on its schedule. One of those victories came
over NWCC in front of an enthusiastic home
crowd.
Schrad said most of the credit goes to her
sophomores: Jodi Leithead of Ten Sleep;
Jeanette Schietel, Pine Bluffs; Wendy
Fischer, Casper; and Kelly Galloway,
Durango, Colorado.
“All four of those girls will be hard to
replace," Schrad said. "They did the things
I asked, but they did a lot of little things, too.
I attribute how they refined their skills to an
eagerness to learn and excel.”
Galloway, Fischer and Scheltel made the
1987 all-tournament team. Fischer and
Galloway have all-Reglon IX medals in their

were the outside-inside threats for CC
trophy cases. And Galloway, an engineering
major, will be named to the Academic All­
America team in January. Schrad, though,
points to Leithead for “co-MVP” honors on
the team. The 5-6 standout solidified the
setter position during mid-season.
All four sophomores dominated Region IX
statistics. Scheltel finished the season with
228 blocks, best in the region. She was also
fifth in kills with 3.8 per game. Galloway had
the top attack efficience in Region IX (51
percent), and Fischer was fifth in efficiency
and sixth in kills (2.8 per game). Leithead was
second in assists with 8.1 per game.
There were, of course, some bright new
spots on the team. Julie Gustafson, Casper;
Janet Buckner, Lyman; VaLynne Asay,
Bluffdale, Utah; Deena Baca, Tularosa, N.M.;
Dawn Johnson, Green River; and Monica
Fabian, Green River all played significant
roles during the season. Gustafson was a

latecomer to the team, and became one of
the bright spots during tournament.
One of Schrad's goals when she arrived
was to “establish” the CC volleyball program.
With more than 60 victories in three seasons,
she has done that. She did it, in part, by
introducing a comprehensive spring program
for her athletes. She spent a great deal of
individual time with her sophomores last
spring, and it paid off in victories during the
fall.
Now, the goal is to take one more step. To
Nationals. What will it take?
“I am looking for some big girls,” Schrad
said. “We need a middle hitter, a big setter
and a backcourt specialist."
That is a tall order. But Schrad said she has
received “three times the inquiries" this year
over last from prospective athletes.
The foundation is laid. All that is needed
Is a few building blocks ...

OF VICTORY

DENNIS ROBERSON

1987-88 Heyoka

Heyoka
over
The original intent of the “Heyoka” mascot
was to boost school pride. Back in 1958,
physical science instructor Norm Weis agreed
to construct a costume which was appropriate
for the Casper College Thunderbirds.
He chose an early form of the current
Heyoka, taken from the Indian medicine man,
who danced and chanted to make the spirits
right for his tribe. The Heyoka mascot does
that for his T-Birds before each game. The
traditional dance is designed to “get the spirits
right” for a Casper College victory. Of course,
he also helps get the crowd involved.
Mr. Weis twice has given Heyoka a facelift,
once in 1965 and then in 1986. The current
costume consists of genuine mink skin, Indian
bead work and leather moccasins. The head
is constructed around a football helmet; the
beak is made of fiberglass material and the
epoxy eyes were hand made by Weis.
This year's Heyoka is Dennis Roberson, a
sophomore engineering student from
Sheridan. Roberson, besides performing at the
games, is scheduled to make appearances to
local gradeschools in the area to model the
mascot.
Heyoka has become somewhat of a fixture
at the national tournament, just as the T-Birds
have. Fans in Hutchinson, Kansas look forward
to seeing the T-Bird mascot, which they say is
the best at the tournament.
