Notice the crack in the ___ sidewalk, and in the broken elm tree. Walk our streets of asphalt, red rock, and gravel. Watch the children on the playground, the old men sitting on the doorsteps of Main Street. Follow the squirrels that scanper from maple to oak, the toad hopping in the field. We've taken a closer look at our lit- tle town and decided that there is more to it than the school parking lot, dull nights dragging Main, or sitting at the local hang-out. Through excellent phep- tography and the ingenius efforts of the yearbook staff, we've tried to show you an inspirational view of activities and people in our little town. As you page through the yearbook,take your time and absorb what we- have pre- sented to you. We want Our Little Town to be instilled in your memories for- ever.

SUMMER 77 S|ummer '77 provided a time if or various experiences. For ___'most of us, summer brought many plans and activities, yet one was not pressured by schedules and deadlines. Some of the favorite past times of most people were keeping busy with jobs, taking vacations, going to summer houses, the Rock County Fair, and just relaxing, and taking things easy. Yes, I think most of you would agree, summer is having a good time getting away from it all, and just being yourself! 1. Tod Connell shows his ability of riding a bike. Dick Hocking and Mark Sehr enjoy the merry-go-round at the Rock County Fair. 3. The Main Drag. 4. Ellie Petersen and Gary Swenson give a smile after treating themselves at the fair. 5.

Jeff Van Hove gulps down a bottle of 7-Up while Dave Olson and Tim Mann watch in thirst. 14 sumner '77 j Jhe first day marks I change to Tj change to a new season. The summer is over and schooltime is ready to begin. The day starts out with the senior high in the gym and the junior high in the little theatre. There they are welcomed back by the administration and assigned homerooms. The rest of the day is made up of in- terpreting their new sched- ule cards, finding classes, and meeting their teachers. For those other than the seventh graders the first day is mainly a repeat of the previous year, but for the seventh graders it is a big first day, that is the start of many years of high school. 1. Students rush to their next class. 2. Mr. Bonn cm a calls out to his homeroom students. 3. Mr. Hussong. 4. Student Council President Huck Van Wyhe welcomes the students back 5. Darrin Hartzler. 6.

Secretaries: The women behind the scenes Jhere do you go for make-up slips, tardy passes, lunch tick- ets, band bills, and other sup- plies, not to mention the immortal stamp for validity provided by the rub- ber stamper bearing the name of MR. RATH? If you are in need of any of these things, you normally go to see one of the school's secretaries. Their special tasks also range from making coffee, to reading announce- ments, to tabulating teacher's hours, and an infinite number of trivialities. Even if they don't stand out in the day to day school scene, we couldn't get by without them. They do get rec- ognition once a year. Did you know that April 26, is National Secretaries' Day? 1.

TJeaching often in- volves a lot more than lectures and fill - in - the - blanks. Keeping the attention of some 25 restless or hungry teenagers for 50 minutes is part of the job (and sometimes a frustrating part if everyone decides to close up shop 10 minutes before the bell). But it's all in a day's work, that starts at 7:30 a.m. and ends . . . 1. Mr. Bendix poses as a wall hanging to demonstrate a law in Physics. 2. Undercover photographer catches Mr. KomulaandMr. Mahaffay skipping class. 3. Mr. O'Con- nor entertains us with a little soft shoe. 4. Mr. Shapley shows Mr. Sanden what to look for in a drug abuser. Fixing all those little hurts I'11 bet that just about everyone at LHS has at —lone time or another asked themselves, Just how tall is she? A newcomer might ask, What grade is she in? The truth of the matter is that our nurse, Colleen Hoyme is all of 4'Hi . Colleen is married to Larry Hoyme, a Certified Public Accountant in Luverne. They are the proud parents of two sons. Some of her many duties in- clude yearly checks of eyes and ears, admitting students back to school when they are ill, and keeping student med- ical records updated. Look what’s cooking in the kitchen Dlelores Strassburg, Leone McClure, and Lorna Lorenzen. It's these three women that are the big three in the kitch- en at LHS. They are the ones who plan and cook the meals. They are here every morning before the stu- dents arrive to start pre- paring the day's menu. The students this year got an added attraction at the lunch line when the speed line was added. Students could make a choice of a cold lunch or the regular hot lunch. 1.

They do every- thing from mowing grass in the summer to scoop- ing snow in the win- ter. They also clean the classrooms after school, wash the tow- els in the locker rooms, wash the dishes in the lunchroom, make repairs, scrub, prepare the gyms for horne athletic events, and yes, they even sweep the halls.

Legalized Motorheads of LHS: Bus drivers IVA'I hat is a legalized Wul motorhead? A legal- ized motorhead is a person who has the right to drive a bus around the school. These sixteen peo- ple are the only ones who have that right. The bus drivers at LHS are up to begin their routes long be- fore most people are out of bed. They take the farm kids from their front door right up to the front door of the school. Most city kids don't get that kind of treatment. 1. Roger Henderson, Vivian Bryan, Don Letcher. 2.

She was involved in a variety of class- ics including choir. Maria says she was en- joying school, and that basically things were the same here as back home. Home for Maria is in Telfs, Austria. The two things Maria missed most are the mountains, not too common around Luverne, and good strong coffee, like they drink in Austria. The climate in Aus- tria is about the same as Minnesota except it doesn't get quite as cold. Maria was staying with the Virgil Christensen family. One of the main things Maria wanted to see in the United States was our life style and fam- ily life. Maria also wanted to master the English language a little better. German is the language spoken in Austria. Maria will be attending the University of Inns- brook when she returns to Austria. 1. Maria makes chicken in Home Ec. 2.

Still it was well attended and a success. The band, Misty Myles, varied from other bands LIIS has had in that their lead singer was a lady. Like previous years, roses were available for gen- tlemen to buy for their dates. Midway through the dance, senior class president Andrew Olsen present- ed Maria Ladstaetter with a gift from the senior class. Maria was our AFS student this year. Maria received a teddy bear to add to her collection back home, and two records. The formal dress and decorations has helped to make Snowball a memor- able winter activity. 1.

Being a senior .has always been one of the goals most _'students strive to achieve and now that that goal has been achieved the grad- uating class finds themselves looking at each other in awe. The senior year has been full of many ex- citing experiences. One the most memorable being the winning of the spirit jug for the first time at a pepfest!! Winning the final Homecoming Game! The Homecoming Floorshow! And of course the most exciting, Graduation! A walk through the senior hall showed everyone storing up memories for the years to come. Peoples' thoughts often turned to the ever-present underlying questions of Who am I? and Where am I going? Soon all these questions will be answered. Yes, the Class of 1978 strove to make their last year at LHS their best. 1. Most likely to succeed: Huck Van VVyhe and Andy Olsen. 2. Class Couple: Cindy Goembel and Don Meyer. 3.

Where’s yesterday? w TV, s graduation day ap- ta proaches so does the Sfflrealization that some very vital days and decisions lay ahead for the seniors. As friends go their separate ways they find themselves alone and having to make decisions on their own. Throughout the entire class you will find mixed emotions about graduation. The emo- tions of joy, happiness, and relief are often expressed. However, more often than not, there is also a measure of sadness and melancholy at the thought of making that final walk down the-senior hall. This has been the year of the senior and the memories gained will last forever. Al- though high school days are ending, life has just begun.

OlloeA Wendell Holme Time for reflectin lime tor dreaming . . . As Juniors, the Class of '79 had time for wasting, playing, tunes , friends, and reflections, not to mention studying. But indeed the Jciass of '79 had some trying times as well. With only one year left to graduation, the Juniors find themselves as major contributors to varsity sports, and to clubs, plays, and dances. Hand-in-hand with the fun comes some added responsibilities like the selling of magazines, and the planning of prom. All of the time the Juniors had seemed hopelessly small when compared with all the things left to experience. Life as a Senior, a possible college, and even a future career are all things now considered. But as in all years past, the mighty '79 will rise to the occasion, and rise to it well; for mixed within all the thoughts, attitudes, feelings, emotions, and experiences the Juniors find time for dreaming...

One summer has swept _____, them from the top of the junior high lad- der to the bottom rung of the senior high. But this change brought about many pleasures. They now have the opportunity to be in senior high activities, such as choir, band and sports. They can express their opinions at senior high council meetings and they can now purchase that bottle of liquid refreshment” during study hall. But with these new freedoms come many responsi- bilities. The sophomore must now chose classes that will help them in the future, whether it be college of vocational training. They must also set and example for the junior high by showing leadership and maturity. These are just a few of the things the sophomore is challenged with throughout the year. 1.

Mr. Nelson explains that student council allows the students a means of voic- ing their opin ions and having an in- put on school policies and it gives students an idea of how public de- cisions are arrived at. The council represents other students, makes de- cisions concerning those students, and is responsible to those students. The council has acquired the pop machines in the study hall, the $2200 copying machine in the library, the hairdryers in the locker rooms, and and the water cooler in the lobby to name a few things. 56 senior council Above: President Harlan Van Wyhe Above: Vice President Andrew Olsen for LHS------------------------------ Above: Secretary-Treasurer Jim Juhl Above: Cabinet Members Jill Holm, Barb O'Toole, and Scott Surprenant.

D1 o you real ize what it's like when your section- __ 'al is at 7:30 and you wake up at 7:35? To escape the wrath of the mighty Les is hard when you're 15 min- utes late. The same excuse doesn't work more than five times, but that's not all there is to band. It takes a certain amount of dedica- tion that not everybody has. Sure, there's alot of screw- ing around but when the con- centration is needed, it's ,there. The band first started practicing after school was let out last summer. Every- body had to adjust to the different sound the band put out. The first serious marching began at Adrian and then dropped off until Turkey Days in September. Then the big event of the marching season, Tri-State. Of course there are the halftime shows at all the home football games. Next came the indoor concerts and practicing day afterday to perfect the sound produced. X. Early French horn sectional.

The only practice they ever get is usually before they perform. No one is very serious about it, but alot of good music is produced. As for spirit, Pep Band is one of the main parts. There's a kind of together- ness that prevails over Pep Band. The ability to get a song to the point of where it sound good after playing only a couple of times is where this togetherness comes in. As usual the Pep Band played for most home wrestling, girls' buckets, and guys' buckets games. Then when playoffs came, the Pep Band followed. Upper right: The Pep Band in full.

Here are some young voices, but after their concert it was plain to see that they have a lot of talent and great voices will soon come to life! They have 50 members, all with a good future in singing. 75 Choir TJhe LHS Yearbook 77-78 is hopefully one of the best ever But it, like __all good things, did not come easy. The Anal, Rooky, or just plain Annual staff worked hard and long with rubber cement, pica rulers, grease pencils, and pictures to construct this book, not to mention some adverse and often loud opinions from advisors and fellow members. In the process of preserving the memories of the student body, the Annual staff made some memories of their own. And even though these good times must one day end, the yearbook will continue forever. 1. Senic r Co-editois Dean Mogck and Melissa Weinman. 2.

But with the seem- ingly expert care and pride exhibited by the senior editors, The Echo came out month after month, each time with improvements. A high-quality newspaper is not an easy thing to produce, but the entire staff rose to meet the chal- lenge by providing new and creative articles to the repetitious happenings at LIIS. Hopefully, the voice of LHS will continue its quality tradition, and by all indications of the underclassmen's performance, it appears this could true. 1.

Thanks to a special grant LHS children's troupe. The ___|was able to form a cast gave performances at several area elementary schools. Mr. Shapley, the director, hopes it will become an annual event. The plot centers around two strangers who prom- ise the emperor some magnificent new garments. The two weavers fabricated a story that these garments were invisible to anyone not worthy of their position. The Minister of Robes was ban- ished from the kingdom when he denied seeing the clothes. The Emperor then paraded through the streets showing his subjects his garments. The peasants somehow managed not to expose the truth. The Emperor was actually wearing nothing at all.

The production was un- der the direction of Mrs. Cheryl Roberts. Mickey Welch provided help with the staging. The play is set in Russia during the 1890's. Stepanowitch is found coming to Popov to collect an old debt following the death of her hus- band. Before Stepanowitch can col- lect the money the young widow's beauty turns him into a softy. Two performances of the play were given, at the Southwest Conference Fes- and another at the District competition.

This year senior high FHAers went camping, made stockings at Christmas, went to the District Convention, and are look- ing forward to sending two girls to the state convent ion.

Other projects include fruit sales to raise money for the awards banquet, and the foot- ball concession stand. Farmers have always been the backbone of America, and developing qualities to make the leaders of tomorrow strong is what makes FFA so important.

How- __ ever, LHS's gridders just couldn't seem to find a long lasting formula for victory. In the opening two games the Cardinals jumped to early leads, but failed to dispose of their non-confer- ence opponents. They lost 12-7 to Brandon Valley and 21-12 to Brookings. The Cards opened Southwest Conference play with a hard-fought 21.-13 victory over Jackson. Luverne's defense put on a tough show for Homecoming, shut- ting out Slayton 18-0. The Cards made little use of a first half lead, as they dropped their first league game 35-21 to Worthington. A muddy battle in Marshall saw the Tigers come out on top of a 14-6 victory. The Cardinals held Redwood Falls scoreless until the final seconds in a 14-7 win. At Windom, Luverne's second half rally came up short as they lost 32-22. The final game saw the Cardinals lose 48-7 to state playoff bound Pip- stone . 93 Footbali Seniors provide gridders with leadership 1 Harlan VanWyhe, Mark Harrison, Mike Merrill, and Don Meyer lead the team onto the field.

Bjomber football proved to be extremely [successful this year. Coaches Waslien __I and Nelson guided their team to a 5-1 season. Their only defeat came at the hands of Pipestone. Other opponents were Marshall, Jackson, Worthington, Windom, and Brookings. Most of these games had one-sided scores which allowed the entire team to see action. Female lobbersy CJoncentrating the tennis season into one month's time I this year could best be des- cribed as hectic. Playing a tight schedule right up to con- ference tournament time they to- taled one win and five losses. Despite the statistics they were tough competition for their op- ponents . This year's team was young having only one senior, Shelly Dougherty. With all but one re- turning next year they should be a tough experienced squad. A squad cheerleaders: Carolyn Hensel, Kathy Matthiesen, Sheila Bittner, Martha Hawkinson. B squad: Judy Horn, Cindy Wulf, Keely Frakes , and Teresa Eiter. Netters’ F lilling six positions on the court and two rows of benches at the sideline were the Cardinal volleyball mem- bers. It was a large team, con- sisting of eight seniors and fourteen juniors. This year provided a few more players,a few more fans, a little more spirit, their own cheerlead- ers, and one more victory than last year. Their weakenss was getting to- gether as a team and being able to handle hard serves, tough 98 volleyball basies spikes and tricky dink shots. The game requires individual skill, which they needed- more experience with. The first and toughest games of the season, with Marshall, Windom, and Redwood Falls, were great dis- appointments in the eyes of those eager netters who were ready to win.

Those bendable, twistable people Ijymnastics is cer- ll itainly a body- Ig] building sport, and one that needs alot of coordination as you can see. This year junior and senior high girls were combined to form a 19 member team. With this combined talent alot was accomplished, such as aerials, backhand- springs, and other su- perior moves. No, it's not easy, but through alot of hard work and the help of the coaches, the team has something they can be proud of. 1. Assistant Coach, Mrs. Ward, helps Vicky Miller keep her balance. 3.

B)asketball at Luverne has been a vwinning tradition for many years. ___'Cardinal basketball teams have won 25 of the 53 District 3 Tournaments played since 1924. This year's team entered the tournament as defending champions. Returning lettermen were, Keith Ahrendt, Marty Korthank, Dan Kindt, Andy Noll, Rich Fitzer, Scott Surprenant, and Paul Gits. Pre-season predictions found Cardi- nals at the top of many people's list. Without two crucial overtime defeats, the Cards would have been on top of the conference. The third loss of the young season was a 56-43 loss to the Marshall Tigers. Despite all that, the squad has gotten off to its best start in seven years. 105 Boys' Buckets SCORES LUVERNE Opponent 66 Tracy 28 55 Pipestone 41 70 Slayton 47 53 Worthington 54 OT 60 Marshall 57 58 Brandon Valley 37 68 Windom 69 OT 61 Tracy 29 73 Slayton 40 48 Marshall 56 70 Jackson 55 45 Redwood Falls 37 64 Brandon Valley 40 61 Windom 58 Bombers build for the future Kneeling: Coach Terry Treichel.

Gymnastics— We gained a lot of ex- perience and are looking forward to a good season next year, said Katie Hemme.

It's somewhere in between there. As an eighth grader you learn a little bit more respon- sibility. You have more activi- ties at school, therefore leaving you with less time for yourself. As an eighth grader more things seem clearer to you than they did when you were a seventh grader. The most important thing when be- coming an eighth grader is that it means you're one more year closer to graduating and then being out on your own. 135 eight EIGHTH 1.
