He arrived in the U.S. in mid August. The two weeks he had before school started gave him some time to get adjusted to his new surroundings. While in the U.S. he had the opportunity to participate in football and basketball. Nico came to learn from us and we learned from him. Good luck Nico!

PLOWMAN MOST DISAGREEABLE: ANDREA AND WES MOST FLIRTATIOUS: TRACY AND COREY TON HOLD ON TO THE MOMENT ... It’s hard to believe that our days at Harmony High School have finally come to an end. The days that we wished away so freely, are now the ones we cherish. We have spent thirteen years of our lives together creating memories full of laughter and tears which we will never forget. But, the time has come, they say, for us to move on, and create new memories with new people in new places. Most of us will look back, however, to these bygone days, and remember the special moments. Moments like our fourth grade trip to the Mayo Clinic that ended in duck, duck, grayduck. Or the snow forts we each constructed in sixth grade. Of course every time we hear “Old McDonald”, our memories of the dreaded seventh grade initiation will be rekindled. As our memories of yesterday drift on, they will surely pause, at least for a moment, on our senior year at Harmony High School. How could anyone forget initiation, Christmas hall decorating, and struggling through those senior class meetings that never really seemed to get off the ground. Surely the special memories of our senior prom and graduation ceremonies will also come to mind. We could spend hours, or even days reminiscing about the past, but the time has come for us to move into the future. Even though these moments may fade, they will still be with us in our hearts; keeping us smiling ... wherever we may be. CLASS OF 1988 i. CADD1NAI CLASS COLORS BURGANDY AND G GRADUATION DATE: JUNE 5? 1988 Nf AI tf THOU A P I OTTO: ERDAY IS GONE, ILL ALWAYS REMAIN 15 The 1987-88 school year brought with it new faces and new policies for Harmony High School. To begin with, we welcomed our new superintendent, Mr. Honken, to Harmony in September. He not only brought with him new ideas, but a Coke machine as well. Harmony High School's smokefree policy also went into full effect this year. This policy was passed in the spring of 1987, when several students became actively involved in passing the smokefree bill. The Harmony students were also given the opportunity to be local TV stars during the fall. KTTC TV of Rochester did a special segment on rural schools, and featured Harmony. The biggest change for Harmony High School, however, came in the spring. Track was added to Harmony’s extracurricular activities when Harmony and Preston joined together to share softball, track, and girl’s golf. 16 CLASS OF ’88 17 MOVIN’ UP IN THE WORLD Minnesota Girls’ State was held June 7-13, 1987 at Bethel College and Seminary. Before each girl arrived she was assigned to a city, county, and political party. During the next five days, everybody learned about government from the city level to the state level. The days were filled with political meetings, campaigning, elections, mock trials, and guest speakers. The speakers ranged from a law enforcement panel, Supreme Court Justice Coyne, Lieutenant Governor Marlene Johnson and more. The week was highlighted by a naturalization of a citizen to Girls’ State, the inauguration of state officials, the trip to the state capital, and variety night. When it was over everyone said tearful goodbyes, promised to write, and headed for home never to forget the experience of Minnesota Girls’ State. -Margie Webster- Minnesota Boys’ State was held June 14-20, 1987 at St. Johns University. When each boy arrived they were assigned to a certain city, county, and political party. From there we went to find our dorm and meet our roommates. Every morning the cities were required to get up at 6:45 a.m. for calisthenics. Then at 7:30 we all had breakfast. After breakfast, we had an hour to make our bed and pick up for inspection. We also had time to study. The morning usually consisted of a lecture on a different aspect of government in the assembly hall. Then, there was a time for organized athletic events such as: volleyball, softball, tab-letennis, and basketball which I participated in. Everyone was required to be in one of the sports. Early in the week all the Boys’ Staters were split up into two parties, Nationalists and Federalists. During the rest of the week the two parties held caucuses to elect their candidates for the state election. I was elected as a state delegate. On the last night of Boys’ State, their was a choir band concert and the inauguration of the newly elected governor. After the concert, all the staters went to a dance party in the gym where we all talked to our new friends for the last time as the week of Boys' State had come to a close for another year. -Brian Burkholder- IT ALL ADDS UP TO ’88 OOH, OUTRAGEOUSNESS! Homecoming this year was held on September 25, 1987. The week started out with coronation. As in previous years, it was held on Monday night at 8:00. The guest speaker was Ron Barrett. The audience was entertained with various skits put on by the students. Throughout the week, the students participated in spirit week and showed their spirit by dressing up. On Friday, the sophomores put on a community pep-fest. We couldn’t ask for a better night to have a football game, the weather was great! The 21-14 win over Lanesboro was just what we needed to top off a great homecoming. Everyone was in good spirits at the dance that night.

I ENDLESS LOVE IN ’87 Prom was held on May 9, 1987. As in previous years it was up to the juniors to make it a night to remember. The music was provided by “Tang”, a band from Luther College. The theme for the night was “Endless Love”. The junior class spent hours decorating the gym with dark purple and sapphire streamers, heart-shaped balloons and lights. The waiters and waitresses selected from the sophomore class were: Alison Her- man, Brenda Stevens, Julie Runkel, Linda Young, Martha Dennstedt, Brian Boice, Mike Johnson, Matt Aggen, Derek Mensink, and Brad Grebin. The grand march was led by the junior class president Jeremy Plowman and a fellow classmate Heather Kiehne. The banquet was held at the Harmony Golf Club. There the waiters and waitresses served the meal which consisted of turkey with all the trimmings and salad bar.

NOBODY SLEEPS AT HHS “Nobody Sleeps” was the title of a one-act-play production put on by several HHS students in March of 1987. Try-outs were held in December and practices for the aspiring actresses that were chosen started in January. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 7:00 a.m. for three months, they could be heard rehearsing in the old gym. Finally, with opening night drawing near, the cast was busy with dress rehearsals and last minute touches to their costumes and props. All went well that night and to celebrate their success, they followed the production with a cast party at Georgios. All of them look forward to another production in 1988. Sarah Overby Heather Kiehne Margie Webster Alicia Kiehne Kim Elliott Asst. Director Tonya Bestor Director Linda Knutson IT ALL ADDS UP TO ’88 SENIOR ATHLETES 28 SPIRIT, WE’VE GOT SOME The fall cheerleaders of 1987 were very busy. Even with nine of them, the work was unending. Every week the girls were hard at work making locker hang ups, run through signs, preparing for pepfests and last but not least practicing. The hours the girls put into practice were endless. From August 10 until September 4, the girls spent 3 hours a day practicing. All of their practice really paid off because they look great. One of the girls’ many projects was a walk-a-thon in which the girls walked a total of twenty miles to raise money for uniforms. We would like to thank Sandy Ihns for all of the encouragement she provided throughout the season.

Lack of experience wasn't really the main reason behind the loses since there were six returning starters. Rather, the main reason was the all around size of the players. They went up against many teams bigger than them. Coach Elston said he was proud of the way his team never put their heads down and rolled over. He was also very proud of the leadership provided by the seniors. Elston said that he only asks for one thing in a team and that is to always give 100% and try to improve from game to game. The younger members have gained valuable experience which will enable them to do well in the years ahead. Good luck in the future football seasons! -Captains- SCOREBOARD Peterson 20 6 Houston 6 Spring Grove 12 6 Lanesboro 14 Grand Meadow : 9 LeRoy 18 7 Flush ford 19 7 Preston 14 Joe Hines, Corey Lange, Coach Elston and Brian Burkholder First Row: Brian Ralston, Torrey Martin, Ross Kiehne, Nick Plowman, David Piehne, Cory Pederson, Tracy Alfson, Chad Bestor, Alan Armstrong, Matthew Ryan, John I vers, Bob Junge.

KEEP ON TRUCKIN’ The junior varsity foot ball team had an outstanding season, ending with a record of 6-2. Although the team is losing 19 sophomores to the varsity, they should have a good season in 1988. Those 19 sophomores will be a good addition to the varsity, since they got a lot of playing time and experience this year. Good luck in the future. -Junior Varsity- We would like to thank you for this opportunity to express our appreciation for all that junior high football has done to mold us into the quality students that we will surely become. The football program has instilled in us a burning desire for excellence. Our 6-0 record is only the beginning of what we anticipate to be the start of an awesome football dynasty. With the excellent guidance and direction that we have received from Mr. Herman and the rest of the coaching staff our mission, our direction, our commitment, and our priorities have been established. We would like to extend our deepest appreciation to Mr. Herman, who has developed our character, while still maintaining his sensitivity, caring, understanding, and loving ways. -C Squad- Junior Varsity First Row: Chris Michel.

THE SPIKE OF LIFE The Varsity volleyball team of 1987 had a long, rough season. This was mainly due to the fact that they lost eight seniors. This year’s team consisted of three seniors and ten juniors. Having only three seniors on the team didn’t leave the squad with a lot of experience; however, experience came quickly to most. Height was another area in which the Cardinals lacked, but what they lacked in height and experience they made up for in other areas. The girls had a lot of good games, but always seemed to lose confidence towards the end. The season came to a close with the Cards having a 3-13 record. Although the record indicates a rough season, the girls played well each game. Improvement could be seen by the end of the season, thanks to the coaching ability of Mr. Erie. The captains would like to wish next year’s team the best of luck. First How: Tami Gossman, Julie Runkel, Tracy Kiehne, Lynda Brunsvold, Linda Young, Sandi Fishbaugher.

The team worked together well, and that is what makes a team prosper. For the eight sophomores who will move up to varsity next year, they feel the experience and playing time will come in handy. As for the remaining eleven freshmen, they have next year to improve on their skills before moving up to the varsity. Their games were all close and their season ended with a record of 6-10. -Junior Varsity Captains- For being a first year team with a first year coach, Mr. Buchholz, the ‘C’ squad girl’s volleyball team feels they greatly improved throughout the season. This was the first year for ‘C’ squad volleyball in Harmony, and the experience these girls have gained will help them when they reach the junior varsitv. Their season ended with the eighth grade’s record at 3-6, and the seventh grade’s record at 4-5. The girls had many exciting games and should be successful in the future. -C Squad Captains- j u N I 0 R V A R S I T Y First Row: Heidi Ehlenfeldt, Tricia Hanon, .Jenny Johnson.

However, things started to look brighter towards the middle of the season, as they went on to win ten of their remaining twelve games. Even with a slow start they guys never gave up. Towards the end of the season, a great deal of improvement could be seen among the team. Finishing the season with a 10-8 record, the Cardinals were seated fourth in Districts. They went up against Lanesboro in the first round game. The Cardinals will only lose three seniors from this years team. Since the team is so young, they look forward to an outstanding 1988-89 season. Matt Aggen, Jon East.

The eighth grade finished with a 9-6 record, while the seventh grade went undefeated. It’s not hard to see that these boys will be the team to beat when they are juniors and seniors.

The beginning of the season looked promising, but with the loss of some players the team also lost their intensity. However, not once did the girls show signs that they were giving up. With the start of each game the girls intended to give the opposing team a run for their money and that’s exactly what they did. Despite their record, the girls set a new school record in the game against Wykoff. They had five people foul out and no one left on the bench. The Cards ended up with a total of 36 fouls for that one game. The girls finished the season with a record of 2-16, but definite signs of improvement were seen with each game. The captains would like to wish next year’s team the best of luck! First How: Tami Gossman, Sandi Fishbaugher, Lynda Brunsvold, Brenda Stevens. Amy Spieker.

The girls spent a lot of time working on the basic basketball fundamentals, an area in which everyone could use improvement. The playing time and experience the girls got will come in handy in future years. The girls would like to thank Mr. Johnson for all of his help. They would like to remind Mr. Taubert that he only has three time outs per half! The “C” squad, coached by Mr. Erie, had a good season. The eighth graders had a record of 6-6, while the seventh graders ended with a record of 8-4. These young girls show a lot of potential for future years.

Even though things looked questionable tor the Harmony FHA chapter early in the year, they finally got off the ground. They found an advisor. Mrs. Erdahl, that was there to stay for the remainder of the year. Even though enrollment in FHA was down this past year, the active members were very busy. In the fall of the year they held their annual Holiday Craft Show. This was the Senior FHA's main fund raiser, and took cooperation and planning to make it the success it was. In February, the FHA tackled their second fund raiser. This was selling delicious Valentine cookies to the students to give away. Once again the FHA was successful. Spring for the FHA brought Action Activity Events. These were judged illustrated talks or demonstrations on various topics. The participants in AAE’s from the Harmony chapter placed very well in the competition. First How: Heather Kiehne, Amy Spieker. Shannon McCabe, Nancy Griffin, Amy Berg Second How: Mrs. Erdahl.

After an intense selection process 28 capable applicants were chosen to perform the task of representing the student body. Thus far the Student Council has been very busy. They attended a district convention in Owatonna and planned Christmas activities. The Student Council has continued to maintain the pop machine and continues to donate the profits to worthy school organizations. Another of the Student Council's tasks was to change the semester test schedule from two days to three days. They were successful, therefore, lightening the student’s load. The Student Council continues to look out for the student’s best interest. First Row: Mark Phillips. Mike Johnson Second Row: Glenda Possum, Jeremy Plowman. Sarah Overby, Amy Elston, Andrea Wilt.

The wise guys of HHS”, may be a good description of this year’s National Honor Society members. There is more to membership than just good grades, however. To be accepted into the National Honor Society, the student must show evidence of leadership, service to others, and good character. National Honor Society also sponsored an apprecia tion brunch for the school faculty and volunteers. In addition, we also sponsored the Student-of-the-Quar-ter honor program. These students were chosen because of their outstanding effort, participation, citizenship, leadership and attitude.

That is the question most people ask when they pass the annual room. Believe it or not, we do go to classes like everyone else. However, we do something that no one else at Harmony High School does. We spend a lot of our time creating, drawing, writing, and brainstorming new ideas for the yearbook. A new cover, layout ideas, and academic section are just a few of our new additions to the Cardinal. The 23 members of the annual staff have been busy all year selling ads, candy bars, and working at the concession stands earning money for the annual. The money they earned enabled us to put our new ideas into affect. We would like to thank Mr. Buchholz for putting up with us and going the extra mile to make the Cardinal a success. We hope you enjoy the Cardinal as much as we enjoyed creating it. Left Front: Dory Elston, Andrea Wilt, Margie Webster, Leann Thomas, Melissa Guttormson, Shannon McCabe.

In the fall, several students decided Harmony High School should have a vocal group. And sure enough, they took the initiative to get one started. Pop choir, as it is called, was added as an activity period activity. The band has also been very busy this year raising money for a tenative field trip, and preparing for contests which were held in March. The band was able to perform three concerts throughout the year, one of which was performed under the prom decorations. MARVIN WILT Instrumental Music.

At Harmony High School you may hear two languages as you pass through the halls, English and French. In the French department, they are using creative ways to learn the basic grammar of French such as: singing, bingo, board races, and active class participation exercises. The English department is also using its creativity to stress the importance of not only English grammar, but also creative writing and literature. The English classes may be found doing anything from listening to “The Canterbury Tales”, to making videos of their favorite books. It is only through creative use of resources that these departments can add new life to, what may seem to be, tiring subjects.
