The entire council worked toward achieving a sound case for open campus, distribution on concession facilities equally, holding bi- monthly meetings for better student represent- ation, enlarging the student council so class presidents can vote, and promoting citizen participation in school activities. Hats off to these people who achieved so much for the students. 21 Hectic Homecoming The prize -winning skit was performed by members of the Senior class. IIING IS T-ULi ;ait? Takingpartin " Dress-up " Day were Deanna Olson and Dan Miller. During the Homecoming Parade, the Pom-Pom girls showed their spirit by marching. Students, dressed in various costumes, enjoyed participat- ing in Oddball Day. As in years before. Homecoming week, September 30- October 4, was looked forward to with eager anticipation by students of all ages. Festivities were begun on Tuesday, Dress-up Day, when the students came to school attired in their best clothes. On Wednesday students observed Oddball Day by wearing the most off-beat outfits they could put together. Wednesday night the entire town turned out for the Pep Rally, where each class put on an original skit. First prize was won by the Senior class, followed by Fresh- men with second. Juniors with third and Sophomores with fourth. Following the Pep Rally everyone hurried outside for the bonfire. The next evening everyone came for the parade, which included the floats on which the classes had worked so diligently. Later, the football team played Fall Creek and defeated them 14-12. Friday was the dance, for which " Kicks " provided music. The King and Queen, Jim Becker and Penny Skahaug, were crowned. The court con- sisted of: Senior representatives- -Mike Erickson and Barb Ventzke; Junior representatives --Dan Wagner and Kim Simonson; Sophomore representatives--Chuck Steuding and Renee ' Mayer; Freshmen representatives- -Darrell Ash and Shelly Dressel. All in all, the entire week was deemed a huge success by everyone. 22 I Week Is Happy Event : n 1, f t 1 The Homecoming court for 1974 was as follows: Dan va iicr, Jr. ; Renee Mayer, Soph. ; Darrell Ash, Fresh. ; Barb Ventzke, Sr. ; Queen Penny Skahaug, Sr. ; King Jim Becker, Sr. ; Mike Erickson, Sr. ; Kim Simonson, Jr. ; Chuck Steuding, Soph. ; Shelly Dressel, Fresh. Couples danced to the music of " Kicks " Reigning over Homecoming court were: Queen Penny Skahaug and King Jim Becker. After receiving the ball from the center, Jim Turner threw a pass for a touchdown. 23 Creative Ideas Inspire Floats Taking first place in the float comp- etition was the Junior class. Their orig- inal float consisted of a large papier- mache Winnie the Pooh and his honey- pot, with the slogan " How Sweet It Is " . Congratulations are extended to them for a job well done. Second place was won by the Freshman class, who did very well for their first year. They constructed an enormous chocolate kiss and used the slogan " Kiss ' em Good- bye " . We would like to thank the follow- ing parents for allowing the floats to be built in their garages: Mr. and Mrs. Erickson, Mr. and Mrs. Haugen, Mr. and Mrs. Rulien, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, and Mr. and Mrs. Peterson. We appre- ciate your warm generosity. Thank you. The Senior class took third place with their tall grand father clock and the slogan " Time For a Victory " . It was the last Homecom- ing the Seniors could participate in and many long hours of work were put into their final float. The Sophomore class came in fourth, but they added a unique new touch. Instead of pulling the float by car, several of the students pulled it by hand. The float ' s slogan was " Blocks to Success. " 24 Rail Backers For the first time, the Altoona Pep Club of " 74-75 " included boys as well as girls in mem- bership. The main purpose of membership was to cheer on all sports activities and show their spirit by painting signs that were hung thoughout the halls and gym. The elected officers were: Presi- dent, Julie Klee; Vice-President, Penny Skahaug and Secretary-Treasurer, Sue Schafer. When the members attended a game they were given a punch on their membership card. The members with the most punches at the end of the year got a a pin or badge.

During the 1974-75 year, the Mass Media class very thoroughly and ac- curately covered the current events which were of interest to the students of A.H.S. The Mass Media class is a fair- ly new one, being quite different than the former Journalism class, in that it is more involved and demanding. With the new addition of our school, plans have been made for a Graphic Arts Depart- ment in which we ' ll be able to publish our own paper as well as develop our own pictures. Meggett Printing Com- pany has printed our monthly issues of " Tracks of Time " this year. Co-editors Cindy Baker and Tim Brennan were the only seniors who had taken the pre-requisite last year. Thus, the Mass Media students began in the fall writing and doing layouts for the school paper. K. Rajotte, P. Lenz, T. Krogman, G. Kleist, C. Baker, T. Brennan, S. Schafer, T. Rogers, K. Schafer, D. Olson, L. Briski, Kneeling: Mrs. Stabenow, P. Curtis, C. Peterson. 66 Annual Creativity Front: P. Skahaug, Mrs. Stabenow, M. Utberg, L, Olson, L. Misselt, L. Rohde, D. Olson, K. Rullen, C. Rude, S. DeBord, Back: C. Thompson, J. Turner,]. Baraboo, R. Sharpe, M. Pietenpol, G. Halverson. In order to make a yearbook, much hard work, time, and patience is re- quired. The publications class of 1974- 75 was credited with having these im- portant traits. This year the class was held every day, which was a great fac- tor in the progress of the annual. The yearbook must meet 5 deadlines a year in order to be completed by May. A supplement was also constructed for the yearbook, consisting of Prom, Track and other events which occurred in the spring. Co-editors for the 1975 annual were Penny Skahaug and Marianne Utberg. Jim Turner took the task of Business Manager and the Advisor for this year was Mrs. Stabenow. Being on the yearbook staff also meant getting first peak at the new pic- tures. 67 44 Snowball Express ' ' yuceii LaiidnJates and escorts were: D. Planert, R. Manney; R. Greene, D. Miller; K. Hasenmueller, M. Utberg; L. Shelley, D. Roach. A train in the middle of the gym, snowflakes and snowman enhanced the theme of " Snowball Express " on Dec. 11. Christmas trees were ar- ranged, complementing the atmos- phere . Climaxing the evening was the introduction of the court and the crowning of the royalty. Reigning over joyous affair were F. Barby, and D. Olson. Back drop of Santa captivated the Christmas spirit. 68 Sparks Gala Season Playing cheery Christmas, the band set a festive mood for the dance. Prancing around the gym, Santa wished everyone a Merry Christmas. Paintings of a train and a snow - man depicted the theme of " Snow- Helping out at the dance were Mr, and Mrs. Barby, Mr. and Mrs. Carl- ball Express. " Baker. Court enjoyed their traditional first dance. 69 Successful Agility, Ability I I I Shari Manor Kathy Christ Kim Simonson With new coach Mrs. Schle- witz, Altoona ' s gymnastic team had another great season. The girls diligently practiced to get in shape for their meets. Each girl partici- pated in a different field of gym- nastics. Taking first place be- came common practice for the team. Congratulations to the gymnasts for competing success- 1 fully. Mrs. Schlewitz and Kathy Christ lent Charmaine LaChappelle a helping hand. 1 Coach Schlewitz showed great muscle control as she demonstrated a move. A back summie was flawlessly executed by Kathy Christ. 70 Snow Skiers Tackle Slopes Attending an informal meeting were Mark and Rick. ■ 2i i Instructor, Becky Sundquist, watched her pupil, Mary Munden, fall. -J " i. .- " Si--- • V-.

Mary Munden really tackled the slope! A new extra curricular activity at AHS was the ski club. Started in the fall of " 74 " , the 19 mem- bers began planning their skiing trips as early as possible, beginning with raising money. Candy sales, bazaar sales, selling popcorn, and other sales helped to finance their trips. After the first snow fall, they were going to surrounding ski areas over the weekends and using every moment to get in another run down the slopes. The following were elected club officers: B, Sundquist; president; K. Rulien, vice-president; and R. Boley, secretary- treasurer. Advising the club was Lois Kildahl. Since skiing is a growing sport, the ski club hopes there will be more members next year. Becky, Kathy, and Mary prepared for the next run. 71 Christine Mangru Valedictorian Marianne Co-Salutatorian Lenz ' — Student Council President Miller Co-Salutatorian McGrouary Honor Student Vander Wegen Honor Student f| H »»A Cynthia Baker Cynthia Harden Constance James Becker Sally Brock Buchholtz ' m: ' : ' ? i Charlene Carlson f ; •ft Patricia Michael Erickson i; " w: Shelly DeBord Allen Fletschock Cynthia Gilbert Wayne Harris ■?Vt i ' 5 a: ' n Hanstin Johnson Johnson Lopour Mayer :!4- -.

From the HEADLIGHT 1965 to the BEST OF ' 75 Mrs. Stabenow has been the yearbook advisor in Altoona. She saw many staffs through last-minute deadlines and scurried planning. When Mrs, Stabenow first took over the job of yearbook advisor, the staff was using school paste-up, a me±od of constructing a yearbook. This method involves cutting up photographs to the size desired and pasting them and typed copy on a mat. She saw Altoona through the transition from this to company paste-up, our present method used . In this method, photographs are proportion- ately shrunk and enlarged and sent in with a sort of blue-print as to how the finished page will look. After ten years, Mrs. Stabenow has decided that the fresh ideas of a new ad- visor will benefit the yearbook more than she can. All staffs have appreciat- ed the help and understanding given by Mrs. Stabenow and say " thank you " for all her years of service. Mrs. Stabenow stressed a point from her familiar position at the podium. Erasing the marks after a busy day, Mrs. Stabenow prepared to leave. 83 f::o- ' ' s1 Best Ads Roy ' s Supermarket 2501 Clairemont Ave. Eau Claire, Wis. I Corner of Rudolph Rd. and Lowes Creek Rd.

Mr. Pedersen graduated from Wisconsin State Uni- versity in 1937 with a Social Studies major and a Mathe- matics minor. After teaching in Portland, North Dakota, he came to Altoona in 1940 to teach science and mathe- matics and coach basketball. In 1942 his team went to the state tournament at Madison. For five years he was in the Marines serving in the South Pacific theater where he attained the rank of cap- tain. It was in 1947 that Mr. Pedersen returned to school at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and received his Masters degree in school administration. Since 1948 he has worked for the betterment of the Altoona Public School. With much pride, or. Mr. Pedersen stood in front of the school named in his hon- Mr. Pedersen proved his advanced math ability by solving a complicated formula. The Pedersen family was united in choosing teaching as a profession. His wife Beulah teaches at Randall School in Eau Claire; his son Richard teaches at Memorial High School and his other son Thomas attended the Wisconsin State Uni- versity in Eau Claire, majored in Mathematics and is now Assistant Federal Banking Inspector in Mankota, Although Mr. Pedersen enjoys fishing, it seems more likely that his best hobby is golf. He has won several area tournaments, had a " hole in one " at Hallie and served as golf pro at the Elks Country Club. Since the school burned in 1951, voters have shown confidence in Mr. Pedersen ' s judgment by passing six building referendums. The buildings now represent a two million dollar investment. Student discipline is one more aspect of Mr. Pedersen ' s di- versified job. 126 Best Memories Created What a switch! •75 Pride 127 128 flCj X ' -tLi t ti iS i mm fM WiT i
