Class Prophecy The date is May 20th, 1994 Today you find me, Lora Duxbury. general manager of the Hurley Rastro s baseball team and test driver for the Mud Lake Monza Division of General Motors, flying back into my hometown of Hurley after a long promotional tour. As my plane is touching down at the Hurley Municipal Airport I realize that it has been exactly ten years since the great class of 1984 graduated from Hurley High. Hoping to catch up on some of the local news, I pick up a paper as I m passing through the airport. The front page headline immediate- ly catches my eye. The eyes of the world are on Hurley, for tonight is the night of the big title fight between Sugar Ray Leonard and Kissable Kristi Johnson. The fight is to be held in Goose's All Night Gym and Delicatessen which is owned and operated by my former classmate, Lisa Olesen and features hot toddies. Turning the page of my paper, I am delighted to find my favorite advice column. Dear Nan Landers . Very few people know that this world-famous columnist was also a Hurley graduate of 1984. As my limousine is passing through Hurley's ample business dis- trict the first place I pass is Heidelberger's Insurance Agency and Rent-A-Car Shop . Since no one else would sell Gary a policy, Gary started this handy little corporation with the motto You Rent-We Dent . Right next door is Buddy's Body Shop and SKOAL Factory . Natu- rally, the head of the Most Improved Welding Department is Charles Hagenbuch. The welding is, of course, only a hobby of Chuck s due to the fact that he devotes most of his time to managing his universal chair of Stash s International Harvester dealerships The next block contains the Jacobson Medical Building' run by well known obstetrician, John Jacobson. He refers all of his patients to the Lee Maternity Shop run by classmate Shari Spomer. It features her line of popular Lee maternity jeans. After getting home, I am just in time to catch my favorite outdoor sports show featuring pro-bird watcher, Jerry Wirth in his quest for the perfect Robin. The fishing section of the show is hosted by BIG bass fisher Frank Heirigs, who is rafting down the Amazon. The Muppet Show comes on next with its dazzling new star, Judith Benson. Judith took over after the retirement of Miss Piggy and vacations on her hog farm near Hurley. It is almost time for the big fight and as I'm hurrying up to the gym, I run into Gloria Falconer. She is now the mayor of Lennox, 5.D. We are chatting over old times when who should appear but big name farmer, Jeff Ness. He has become quite successful since he pur- chased what used to be Viborg, S.D., to turn into his pig operation. He is quite normal in spite of his success except for the fact that he gets the urge to turn into Dracula at the first sign of Dawn. As I watched Kristi claim her title it occured to me that the class of 1984 had indeed proven to be the finest class ever to graduate from Hurley High. 12 Juniors Find Answers As theytfiniors took one more step upward they found their high school days very busy. Not only did they have sports and music to occupy their time, but they also had other important individual decisions to make. What are you doing your term paper on? , Should I go out for the play? What colors should we use for prom? , Have you made the-Honor ,Koll this quar- ter?' , and When are you taking your ACT test? were common conversational items. As usual, this class was able to pull themselves through a variety of problems. Now the one hurdle left to accomplish is theiri enior year! 1. After the F.H.A. pancake supper, the faculty and Seniors enter- tained the crowd with a basketball contest. Serving as the trustwor- thy referees were L to R. Kelly Jorgensen. Philip Wirth. and Jason Schroedermeier. 2.

Their days were filled with a variety of activities ranging from academics to athletics, the Sophomores did Tots of wild and crazy things this year. After shopping for their uniforms, the prom waiters and waitresses vis- ited the zoo, and cruised used car lots. Among other activities, the Sophomores received a first on their homecoming skit, and also sanded the graffiti off the library book shelves. By coming prepared with kleen- exes the Sophomores survived tneir daily first hour class. With a little luck this group of ambitious kids will continue their good work as Juniors. 1.

Parsons I guess we don't take time to think about the value of friends. We take them for granted, assume that they will always be there. And when they're gone we wonder why we never told them how wonderful they were. Joan was such a person. She shared herself, her time, her love and her friendship with others. We didn't always appreciate her kindness or help her to achieve her dreams. Now we can't tell her how sorry we are. The memories we hold and cherish of her will remain with us always. God must have a need for a special person like Joan. She will live in our minds, in our hearts, and in heaven forever. Sept. 7, 1967 - August. 1, 1983 17 Freshmen Enjoy Year The Freshman began an enjoyable year as they became active in many classes. This year they had the opportu- nity to choose the classes that they wanted to take. However, some of their classes were required, such as Algebra 1, English I, and P.E. The whole year wasn't all books and no play. Some of the students participated in Swing Choir, jazz Band, Basketball and Football. This energetic group even managed to survive various types of initiations, including a rather drafty jog around the park for the F.H.A. girls. It was all part of being in high school. 1. Paula Georgeson looks frustrated, I wonder why? Maybe it's because she can t find the end. 2. Shaving for girls just doesn't work, as Jackie Georgeson, Jodi Homan, and Dorothy Brandsrud found out. 3.

Added to their regular everyday studies, a variety of activities rounded out the spare hours and used up excess energy. Sports played a big part in their extra-curricular schedule, along with music, declam and cheerleading. Anticipating the good times high school promises, this group of fourteen made the most of their last year in junior high.

Mrs. Aeschlimann corralled them for a few short practices before the curtain rose at 7:30 p.m. on January Ibiftr Many were thinking that the show, where Mrs. Berry couldn't decide to sell her farm to Wilbur Merridew without asking Aaron Slick first, would not go on. After selling her farm that sup- posedly had oil on it, she moved to the city where her situation worsened. Aaron Slick saves the day by asking Rosa to be his wife. 1.

The Pep-club also sold spirit buttons throughout the year and helium balloons at the Homecoming football game to get everyone fired up. Once again the H-club constructed the Home- coming H . These students also hosted the second annual athletic awards banquet in May, at which athletes received the honors they have earned. I. Pep Club top- Jodi H.. Doro- thy B..

The library aides of next year will have a big job dropped on them with the same operation in the fiction area. This is just one of the jobs the library aides did throughout the I IU1I. Participants Prevail Smoke was the key word for the FHA girls this year, especially in the eyes and noses of the people that attended the FHA pancake supper! The proceeds from this endeavor, plus profits made by selling balloons at Homecoming, enabled the group to finance an ei; tremely successful Sweetheart Ball. The initiation of the freshman members in the fall was another time for fun as the girls endured a rather unusual jog around the park. Seven girls participated in High School level oral interpretation this year. The declam program was well supported in junior high with many young par- ticipants speaking up. 46 1. FHA - Top.

Players awarded with honors were Robin Homan — All Con- ference, Lisa Olesen and Nancy Christensen — Hon- orable Mention, Robin Homan — Most Improved and Most Valuable Player, and Lisa Olesen — Hustler Award.

Coach. 49 w, Boys Tackle Another Season ( ?•' The Bulldogs, after many tough practices, won their first game of the season. After that they fought hard, but ended their season with a 1-7 record. The co- captains Jerry Wirth and Jeff Ness, and three other seniors led the Bulldogs, assisted by nine returning juniors, two sophomores, and three freshman. Points were scored in every game and the defense became much stronger. Even though no snow covered the field during the season, the games were played in bitter cold temperatures. This never slowed the boys or clouded their enthusiasm. They came out game after game to put up a fight. With the outcome of this season, next season looks much more promising.

Getting off to an impressive start, Hurley ruled over Menno in the sea- son opener that brought the fans to their feet. This game set the pace for a greatly improved and exciting season as many games proved to be fights to the finish and were won or lost in the final seconds! The B-team also had a season of steady improvement. A new in- centive for the guys this year was having the games televised over cable channels. 2. B-Team: Top Row- Coach Don Plahn.

Enthusiasm Is The Key There was a great change in the cheerleading liveliness this year, as they were much greater in number. The girls basketball cheerleaders were greatly appreciated by the players because the team really noticed the support they had been missing in former years. The Pep Club pur- chased new sweat suits for the football cheer- leaders to help them survive those freezing fall games. All of these dedicated girls brought the Pep Club to their feet and motivated them to support their Bulldogs through a season of close and exciting games. 1. Boys BB.

They gained much experience and learned how to play as a team and also competed individually. Some of these talented kids even proved to be valuable assets to the varsity squads. This helped them to develop skills that they will use in the future. These various activities were coached by Dean Christensen, Karen Bossman, and Steve Janssen. 1.

Girls Spread Spirit There was plenty of interest in cheerleading this year where the grade school girls were concerned. Almost everyone in grades five through eight participated in this extra-curricular activity geared toward motivating the boys basketball players to victory. Another all important job for these girls was to keep the crowd in anticipation and encourage them to the excitement level the cheerleaders were on. With the help of their advisors, Connie McGirmis and Jan Tiede, the girls experimented with manyMfw iApa and gained valu- able experience for their future years in cheerleading. l-7th and 8th Grade Cheerleaders.

The most familiar and the most fun for the students is the Student Council. This organization consists of representa- tives from each high school class. Homecoming activities are planned and supervised by them, as well as the Christ- mas program, which consisted of a movie and volleyball tournament. The well-being of the students is considered carefully before any decisions are made regarding them. 1 School Board: President Don Bens iv Betty Eidem, Keith Bag- ley, Pete Boomgarden, Jim RemetoVSupTX)avid Wrotenbery.
