A year has run its course. a year of challenge in which freshmen found their way around the maze of halls. in which sophomores and ju- niors took one giant step toward graduation, while a troubled world spun on. in which seniors walked through the halls for the last times. We. as the annual staff, have attempted to preserve your memories of this year. We hope this yearbook has captured some of the good times and will help you to remember them always.

Trees blow in the wind and little things that were born in the spring grow. What though, do people do in the summer? Well, they work to earn money or just to have fun. they play because they have the time, they go places, meet new people and make new friends. Most of their time is spent with their friends. Making the most of the freedom they have now, knowing that fall will come soon, yet realizing that for now it’s still . . summer. 15 Summer I6 Summer Reflections staring me in the face the memories of yesterday now seen out of place all the times together so unreal now for you set off by yourself leaving me with just the memories of yesterday Reflections staring me in the face. 1981: The Beginning Or The End? W e're Seniors at last! We thought we'd never make, but it’s finally here. This was our year and no one elses. Our year, with all its firsts and all its lasts. We had our first pool party along with our last pool party. We saw the Senior boys play their last football game and we experienced our last LHS Homecoming. We took part in our first plans for next year and some received their first acceptance letters from places far and near. We gayly attired for our last Sadie Hawkins, and our last prom will never be forgotten. As graduation approached, memories arose of last friends, first friends, and those unforetold. This was our year of power and pride, but soon we will mingle within the tide of people-, first people, last people, and memories. ' A I. Mike Andersson at his favorite spot Rips.

From the day we walked into the great class maze to the day of the long red and white robes, we climbed the ladder to our independence-our dreams. Our sophomore year found us struggling for survival among the world of upperclassmen and looking for a pathway through the maze. Each student pursued his own path, meeting and overcoming the obstacles that stood in the way. As the year progressed, we no longer stood back, but labored over homework, and pursued in the extracurricular activities. Being accepted as equals, we proceeded one more step through the vast maze that lay ahead. After our summer absence, we returned as juniors and once again got back into the swing of things. This time we were amused by the sophomores and impressed with the seniors. Some of the paths we chose were straight and narrow, some twisted and confusing and others dead ends. Even when not all our battles were victorious if we faltered, we picked ourselves up and tried again. By putting forth all our effort, we once more excelled as a class and with each step forward we came close to our individual destinies. In the fall of '80 we again returned to the routine that by now was so familiar. Three months older and wiser, we now were the upperclassmen. As seniors, our minds were filled with trivial things, while subjects of greater importance were pushed aside, until we realized that the last bend in our paths lay just ahead. Today, as we glance back at the years and the roads we've traveled, we know the memories will be imprinted in our minds forever. Although we will never forget our eventful past, the times did come to welcome the unpredictable future. At graduation we come together once more as a whole- only this time to leave the mass as individuals.

And that you’re important to me. We've shared great times Through all the years So many joys But also tears. You were there for me When I needed a friend But there were times I thought Our friendship would end. We’ve had our differences, I guess that's true But we’ve managed to stay close. I guess we always do. We've shared playgrounds and bus rides And late evening walks Many phone calls and dances And some very long talks. We're seniors, we say. And proud of the fact. But as we march forward We’ll always look back. Back to the memories We’ve shared in the past Some we'll forget. But most which will last. Good luck, my friend! Future Outlook For The Class Of 1981 I. Suzana with her favorite teacher. Mr. Nelson. 2. One of the skills Suzana learned in America was typing. 3. Suzana takes timeout for a smile between classes. 4. Basketball was one of the things that took up Suzana's time. O uzana Villamizar was our foreign exchange student for the past year and came from Columbia. Suzana. while in Luverne, kept busy by being a member of the girls' basketball team, and also gave numerous speeches to orga- nizations in Luverne. Suzana had a hard time first adapting to the English language, which made barriers that she had to overcome, but with some special time and effort by Suzana and others, she overcame them. When asked. Suzana said that she really liked Luverne and America. 31 AFS The Swede M ikeal Andersson was the second Rotary exchange student to come to Luverne. Mike came from Boras, Sweden and stayed with four different families during his one-year stay. Mike was first greeted by The Menages. He also stayed with the Elmer Hoskins family, the Albert Christensens, and at the Bill Beimer’s residence. Mike said that he liked it very much here. He also stated that there wasn’t a very big difference between Sweden and Amer- ica. Mike got involved in many different activities while here. Some of these were football, wrestling, attending Rotary meet- ings monthly, and just bumming around with the guys. However. 32 Rotary when asked what he enjoyed the most he replied, Rips. I really like Rips. I. Mike and Bill Benson practice hard for their up-coming match. 2. Mike gives a speech, a requirement for one of his classes. 3. Mike decides he doesn't like Bunky and trys to get rid of him. 4. Mike waits to be measured for his graduation gown. Eleven Jumors 33 In retrospect of our junior year, we recall our not-so-fantastic, but sufficient magazine sales. We fell approximately $1000 short of our goal. Even with this deficit, plans for banquet, band, and prom were approved. Nervous juniors readied for the future with A.C.T., S.A.T. tests, and college preparation courses. Employment was a concern for juniors not planning post secondary schooling. Several junior boys have membership in the elite Rip's cultural society. Their activities include benching it out front” and having a Dew.” Our class is also involved in motorheading, cruising, and other slack and useless activities that will do absolutely nothing for them. The last social engagement of our class that can be talked about as a group activity is that certain little party at Sir Stepp’s house in 19'. We feel cursed to have any activities as a result of this happening. I. Tami Halting and Jeff Menage 3. Mall Rarstad 3 Kim Murphy 4 Tom Walker and Sharon Hoff. 5. Brent Gerloff.

We can even begin to sense that our days at LHS are becoming limited. 44 Sophomores I. Susan Hemmo and lisa Baustian cleaning up in home-ec. 2.

We got a taste of senior high and kept in touch with the junior high activities, too. Freshmen are the big men on the junior high campus. It’s the year where you aren’t considered junior high and you are not considered as senior high either. As freshmen many new exper- iences are open to you. It is a year when each individual can get to know themselves and their class mates bet- ter. There are more chances to use your talents and apply your special in- terests. As freshmen you can attend all sen- ior high dances and other events. You also plan your classes for the rest of your high school years. I. Paula Iveland. 3. Eront row: left to right-Greg Moeller.

Eighth graders are the lucky age group who are fortunate enough to exist in the middle. Not quite the squirrely seventh graders they were last year, they have earned the title of young adults. Becoming a teenager is also an occurreance which brightens the eight grade year, and is just the beginning of the some- times difficult, but always challenging teen years. I.

It means participating in student council meetings for the first time, being able to attend junior high dances, and becoming more involved in band and extra-curricular sports. It means no more flying erasers from Miss Larsen, getting to talk in the halls without walking single file, and talking in the cafeteria without getting a whistle blown at you if you become too noisy. All of these things represent just a part of being a seventh grader. As seventh graders you are also introduced to many new responsibil- ities you must take on. The knowledge gained from these responsibil- ities will be of great benefit to you as you climb through life. You are just beginning . . just beginning your future years in the game of life.

Reflecting back to the junior high dances of last year, we remember how Susie just happened to be within talking distance of Mark for two weeks before the big night, or when Mary just happened to tell John, who was a friend of Dan. who by some strange coincidence happens to be a friend of Steve, that she likes Steve. After everyone found their date and the matchmakers retired for a while, the dances occured. The dances, sponsored by the Junior High Student Council, or FHA, were held in the cafeteria. There, you could find anyone from seventh grade to ninth grade doing everything from ping-pong to the hustle. I. Brent Heigaas. 2.

In the spring, they began training for the Special Olym- pics. They traveled to Slayton and competed against other schools of the region. Stu- dents that place first qualify for the state Olympics.

Some of the jobs are to learn a trade and others to make extra money. Students have many different kinds of jobs, these could be any one of the following: waitressing. gas sta- tion attendant, check outs, bus boys, cooks, janitors, construction, store-sales persons, vet- erinary assistants, and lifeguards.

A sport that lets you run free and reach for victory. The 1980-1981 Cross Country team had a tough, but successful season. The roster included one senior with eighteen underclass- men. They were coached by fifth grade teacher. Steven Le Boutil- lier. Very few of the members won. but most were young, inexperi- enced. and competing against some really tough competition. It was a year of experience that all could put under their belts. Ginger Welter, a 7th grader, saw ectasy, reached for it, and held on. She was the only member to place at districts. She placed 2nd at districts and 13th at regions. Steven LeBoutidier, coach, tells the kids their times. Row I: Mike Zinnel. Pal DeYoung. Brian Den Herder. Bryan Lunos. Idella buer.

This early start included much hard work and many hours of practice. The team was fairly young, although a few members were returning from the previous year. The highlight of conference play was a 4-1 victory over Win- dom. They also matched themselves against Brandon Valley for the first time in girls’ sports history, defeating them twice, by scores of 4-1 and 70. At districts, the team lost a hard fought battle to Pipestone. 30. but Elizabeth Gits and Chris Haycraft advanced to regions and placed second.

Brad Ranz. and Coach Carroll Coming off a successful foot- ball season and with good team size and experience, the 1980-81 boys' basketball team once again appeared to be a major contend- er in conference and district tournament action. Todd Connell and Jeff Elbers returned as start- ers from last years 17-3 team. In all there were 9 returning letter- men who saw plenty of game time last year. Pre-season injur- ies to Jeff Menage and Randy Maxwell somewhat dampered the spirits of Cardinal fans; how ever, hopes of a return as a dis- trict champion and a possible trip to the state tournament, still lingering throughout the halls of L.H.S. By the second to the last week of the regular season, the Cards had compiled an 11-4 record. Los- ing to Tracy and Brandon Valley in non-conference action. The team had a 90 record in confer- ence play with the two losses coming from Marshall. With only two conference games left Lu- verne was in second place; how- ever a single loss by Marshall and a clean sweep by the Cards would mean a conference cham- pionship.

The choirs put on many concerts-, for Christmas they performed Handel’s Messiah and for the spring pops concert they saluted John Lennon and to the Beatles. Dave Renes and Felicia Mohr made the Minnesota All-State Choir and proved that LHS has many talent- ed singers. The Kids’ hard work, both singing and fund rais- ing. paid off when the music department went on tour in April. Small Groups Small groups are a large part of the music program. These groups perform at concerts, banquets, and for meetings of social groups in our community. Some of these groups are: girls and boys barbershop, pops, sextes, octets, and triple trios.

Voices Of LHS From long hours sitting in libraries searching for informa- tion to weekend overnighters in Watertown — debators are a devoted bunch of people. The topic of this year’s debate squads was: Be it resolved that the Federal Government should initiate and enforce safety guarantees on consumer goods.” The affirmative team arguing that the consumers need more protection, while the negative team argued that the government should leave the decision up to the consumer. This year’s debate team was young, but they did very well as they placed third in the Lincoln tourney, fifth in the Washington tourney, and a very high finish in the Southwest Conference as they placed second.

Children's Theatre Troupe 1980 Th e Children's Theatre cast of 25 members presented Twelve Dancing Princesses” as Luverne High School’s fall play. It was a challenge for both the cast and the directors. Mr. Smith and student director Beth Gibson, and was well worth the effort. The play was about twelve beautiful princesses who wear out their shoes every night. Where do they go. what do they do?

Many times we look down on them because of something they have said or done to us. but later, you come to appreciate them for all that they have done for us. and what we have learned from them. Along with teaching, they have other jobs to do. such as chaperoning, being an advi- sor, and sometimes even babysitting. They have many responsibilities to handle every- day, and they do a good job at handling them. They always are showing enjoyment and satisfaction in their work, and for this we students of LHS thank you. I. Mr. Pahlberg concentrates deeply as he teaches his students how to count. H.
