CROSSROADS 2 CROSS Students: Because every day in your life as a student brings decisions for you to make, and because those decisions help you realize what you can and can't do, you're growing up. Crossroads ... the theme of our yearbook. We have tried to follow you. the student body, down the paths you take, and which ones you choose could possibly lead you to your desti- nation. Seniors, you are at a time of your when you must choose a direction, and set your course . . a crossroad, one of many in your life. Sincerely.

Our own destinations to choose. We all have our own contributions to make, Our own special talents to use — We all have our own kind of life to pursue. Our own kind of dreams to be weaving...

Two roads diverged in a yeiiow wood. And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim, because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Vet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.

Supt Miller tends to his many daily tasks. 2 Mr Rath takes care of business on the phone. 3. Paper- work keeps Mr Horner at his desk. “You're Someone Special” was the theme put into action this year by the administration. Three of those special someone's” here at LHS are our very own Superintendent Norman Miller and Co-principals John Rath and Jim Harner. Supt. Miller, in his three years here at LHS, has met the challenges of, pairing with the Magnolia school district, Reaganomic cuts in spending, teacher salary negotiations, and a variety of policy-making decisions. Mr. Rath, our senior-high principal, has the responsibility of handling the discipline aspect of LHS. Attendance and scheduling of activities are tasks that also fall on the shoulders of Mr. Rath. Our junior-high is manned by Mr. Harner. He coordinates the curriculum for both junior and senior high. He also acts as a consultant and advisor to the teachers. 18 Secretaries Front row (left to right) Margaret Winter. Connie Nash. Cheryl Heikes. Bock row. Elaine Snyders. Julie Niemann.

Especially at LHS? I think everyone will agree that secretaries are an indis- pensible part of our school's operation. Who else would voice the announcements, give us passes or ring that all important 3:15 bell — not to mention the typing, filing and errand running.

If you can answer yes to both of the above, maybe you should stop and think! Do we realize the importance of these people who transport us from home to school and back, bring us to all our extra-curricular activities and events, and have the patience to put up with us if we are loud, late, or generally troublesome. Maybe some time you will get on the bus and have a cheerful Hello! instead of a grumpy, I don't know why I should have to ride this stupid bus anyway. Old Faithful Picking up paper, work never done. Being a bus driver Ain't all that fun! They're up by six. And they finish at five. It really baffles me. How they stay alive. Shouting at kids. But having no choice. How in the world Do they keep their voice? For all that you've done. And all that you'll do. Although we don't say it. We mean it: thank you! 23 c u s t 0 d 1 a n s Whistle While You Work 1 Harold Johnson 2 Robert Mann 3 Merle Hamann 4 A few of the janitors setting up the gym for Parent-Teacher conferences 5 John Navara 6 Richard Boatz taking another coffee break 7 Delano Slagei and company For 25 years custodians at LHS have worked diligently keeping our school clean.

Dick Hocking and Tammy Hatting were crowned king and queen of LHS by former queen Teresa Clark. The floor- show afterwards featured many acts by students and concluded with a short skit by the faculty. As in the past, each day had a special theme, and many students dressed up for Hat 8c Glasses Day, Red 8c White Day. etc. On Friday a pep test was held to build school spirit for the game with Pipestone. After the game, which we lost 28 to 6, the Homecoming Dance was held, with the Street Orphans providing the music. 1.

The girls won two trophies and were interviewed by the Worth- ington paper, neither of which had ever been done before. This year was the best on record and the girls be- lieve all of their hard work paid off. They got a lot of support from the community and the students. The girls worked their way to quarter finals and played two really hard games, but they lost to Chandler in district play, which ended their season. Seniors on this year's squad were: Tari Winter. Nancy Korthals, Tami Hat- ting, Connie Klein, Laura Rust and Pam Ecdahl. 37 1 Rhonda aces another serve. 2. Murphy and Rook in action 3.

According to Coach Graff the 1981 Cross Country team was small in num- bers. but big in heart. The 11-members squad of 10 boys and 1 girl showed pro- gress throughout their 10-meet schedule, and showed progress throughout their 10-meet schedule, and showed promise for next fall.

This year the gymnastics team was rela- tively young, but their routines showed signs of maturity. The routines were smoother, more polished, and better executed than in the past. The gymnasts had a year they can be proud of ... They made a record high score of 112 points aginst Sioux Falls Lincoln and did well against all of their other com- petitiors. 1.

Girls basketball, a stand-out in LHS's winter activities, were top competitors in S.W. Conference play. The team was led by captains Mary Gits and Connie Klein along with junior All Conference player Kathy Raak. This year was the first year for 18 games plus districts. Coach Schmidt was very pleased about that and also the fact that the Magnolia girls helped a great deal. Coach Schmidt's goal this year was to be 500 or better and the girls have already proved that. 47 1. Connie Klein in action ogainst Adrian. 2. Lori Stroeh looks for someone to pass to. 3.

Play was generally unspectacular, and the Cards couldn't seem to get it together. Later in the season a fast-paced, exciting game with Windom snapped the losing streak. The following night, playing a make-up game. Luverne beat Win- dom again, making the record 5 wins and 10 losses overall. There were several games left in the season at the time of publication, and many students thought the Cards could make a strong comeback. 1. Row one Steve Wethor, Boi Mach. Dave Eidahl.

They had eleven dual meets, and they participated in three tournmanets. The Cardinal Tourney was cancelled this year due to bad weather. Because of the weather problems this year, on a few occa- sions. the guys had to wrestle three times a week to make up for the can- celled meets. The underclassmen were led by sen- iors: Bill Benson, Mike Goembel, Todd Hess, Randy Wulf, Randy Schneekloth, and Tom Debates. Varsity-In Action Varsity wrestlers: Mike Goembel. Randy Schneekloth.

Appearing in Worthington's annual “Tur- key Day festivities. this 70- member group took third place in Class A competition and placed second at Augus- tana College's Homecoming Parade in Class B. In keeping with LHS tradition, the Marching Band also hosted and performed in the 32nd An- nual Tri-State Band Festival in September.

The Annual Music Depart- ment Clinic Festival, under the sponsorship of Luverne Music Boosters, took place in Febru- ary and again proved to be not only an educational, but also a most popular event. The three-day session was cli- maxed by a concert featuring the Choraliers, the Concert Choir, and the Concert Band. The Concert Band's clinician this year was Thomas L. Swan- son, Associate Professor of Mu- sic and Chairman of the De- partment of Music at Bamidji State University. Dr. Swanson directed the Concert Band in a Tribute to Irving Berlin arranged by Bark- er and performed a trombone solo in “Morceau Symphoni- que by Guilmant. Lots Of Pep And Pucker 1.

The Junior High Band The junior high band began preparation towards senior high by participating in many activities. Among these were the traditional events, such as Tri-state Band Festi- val, playing for the last home football game, and the many concerts presented throughout the year. They also tasted a bit of competition through Worthington's Turkey Day parade in September, and their own solo contest held in February. In Worthington their hard work and practice payed off when they received ratings on their solo performances from the three guest audjudicators. Their large membership, dedication, and hard work helped the junior high band achieve their success. 1.

Deb Cook, and Amy Spease Being a member of the Concert Choir or the Choraliers allows for many new and exciting experiences. The school calendar is chalked full of activities in which these two groups participate. This fall the choirs once again participated and performed at the Southwest Choral Festival which was held at Jackson. Dr. Eph Ehly from the Kansas City Conservatory of Music was the guest clinician. Our annual fall concert was held soon afterward. For the holidays, the Choraliers performed a variety of Christmas songs, and the Concert Choir presented the cantana Sing We Now of Christmas. The Concert Choir also had the opportunity to go caroling in downtown Luverne. A second annual Music Boosters carnival, held in January, was full of excitement for young and old alike. February also had its share of fun. The fifth, sixth, and seventh was the weekend for the Music Festival and Concert. Luverne hosted the district large group contest this year and did a fine job of planning and preparing. The vocal pops concert was held on May 16. This concert is one that the singers particularly enjoy working on and performing. One of the highlights for tne choir this year was the musical Bye Bye Birdie. It had been years since the last musical was presented, and so it was a new and exciting challenge for the choir. The choirs ended the year with the music banquet on May 25. 1.

These groups are the New Dimen- sion. the Entertainers, the Chordettes. a junior girls' sextet, and a female quartet. With such a variety of groups, it allows a chance for students to develop and share their talents. Hard work, determination, and early-morning or after-school practices pro- duce the high-quality groups that we can boast about. These groups take advantage of opportuni- ties to sing at many civic and social gatherings around the Luverne area. They also sing at many school concerts and music floorshows for the public. 1.

The Future Homemakers of America in the 1981-82 school year were few. but proud. Those involved, however, had lots of fun. Headed by Mrs. Vogt, the future home- makers attended many activities and sponsored many parties - Christmas, Hal- loween, etc. - on their own and did a good job representing our school. 1. President Karla Scherff 2. Advisor Vogt 3. These three recite the creed. Homes where living will be the expression of everything That is good and fair. Homes where truth and love and security and faith Will be realities, not dreams. We are the Future Homemakers of America We face the future with warm courage And hiah hODe. We are the Future Homemakers of America We face the future with warm courage and high hope. For we have the clear consciousness of seeking Old and precious values. For we are the builders of homes. 71 Deutschklub: Deutsch 1st Keinen Schweiss! Deutschklub. under the supervision of Frau Spease. has added many new ac- tivities to the traditional ones. Traditional ones are Oktoberfest and the Christmas party. Oktoberfest was first held in 1810 as a wedding celebration for King Ludwig of Bavaria It was such a success that it became a yearly Volksfest. Deutschklub celebrates Oktoberfest by eating sau- erkraut. sausages. German chocolate cake, and homemade pretzels. During the Christmas party, the mem- bers decorate the Christmas tree and St. Nikolaus visits the room. After supper everyone drinks hot apple cider and sings songs in German. The new activities include going to Marshall for a career day. Representa- tives from several businesses gave a presentation on foreign language relat- ed careers. All Deutschklub members had purchased sweatshirts with Keinen Schweiss printed on them. Another new activity was decorating the window of Schutz's OK Hardware with a traditional German Christmas scene. 1. Front Row Claudia Thompson. Jean Buffington. Lori Stroeh. Dawn Geslin.

Our returning varsity team has earned honors and awards in tournaments around our area, specifically at the Governor's Tournament where they took second among teams from around the United States. We also gained quite a few members, who we hope will return next year. We did well this year, but watch us get better as the years go on. Each year after a lot of hard work from the annual staff, the Luverne yearbook is made available to the students at L.H.S. Chaotic is the word that best describes the annual room and staff. Deadlines are set, but never met, negatives are lost, and vertical files are dent- ed. The annual room is scattered with year- books, paper scraps, empty rubber cement bottles, paper cutters, and empty pop bot- tles. Many frustrated people are ready to throw their pages in file 13. Looking back on high school years, many memories, experiences, and friends can be re- membered. 1 What now, woman . ? 2. Dave Hartzler tries to figure out what is going on. 3.

Many stu- dents make the commitment of writing stories, selling ads. complet- ing the typing and take on the re- sponsibility of getting the ECHO out to the students. A few of the staff do their job and accept their assigned duties. Con- stant harassment on the part of ECHO advisor, Mr. Gits, motivates others to perform their assigned tasks. Accurate reporting, good pic- tures. and the meeting of deadlines are what good journalism strives for. Down The Road To Journalism... 1. Michel© Niessink, Bjorn Hel- gass. Patty De Boer.

Other serious activities included ask- ing some of the upper classmen how to get a date, and what to wear, get- ting a taste of competition in basket- ball. football, and other things, not known to seventh graders. We even were assigned a chair in band. We enjoyed our classes this year. We'll always remember Mr. Benson, science with Mr. Bearfield. and math with Mr. Altoff. 1. Row one: Barb Bauman.

We anticipate our life in sr. high will include driver's permits, and molding our lives. We also start to compete at higher levels in athletics. Some of us may even get to dress for varsity sports.

Many of us got that first job and a driver's license so we could become terrors of the tar. We became full-fledged members of the senior high and got to participate in the Cardinal marching band, senior high student council, German club, annual. Echo, and other activities.

As juniors w© have encountered many new experiences this year. We were very involved in the planning for prom, and we started off the year by selling magazines. A total of $11,005 was sold, whicn was a great deal more than the original goal. You also found juniors working at the con- cession stand in order to raise more mon- ey. Along with the above mentioned ac- tivities, juniors busy themselves with varsi- ty sports, plays, senior high choir, band, annual, and ECHO. We have learned many things in our junior year, and we find ourselves grow- ing and striving to prepare for our senior year ahead, we look to the future with anticipation and excitement. After all, we are the Class of '831! Cory Ahrendt in a moment of deep concentration. Kathy Murphy prepares for the set.

Our class experienced a lot of new things in the transition from childhood to adulthood. We learned how to handle those things the best we could, and we formed our own ideas about them. Our years at LHS have probably been the most memorable. We have hurt each other, been angry with one another, laughed and loved togeth- er. In a matter of a few short weeks, we will see very little of each other, the people we grew up with. On behalf of the annual staff, we hope that we have helped you retain your memories of the first stage of your lives. It was a long hard process to build this bundle of memories, and the people who made it deserve a little recognition. Without these people, we could have never even come close to making the deadlines. (Or at least almost making them!) Mr. Weinman, our advisor, who put up with countless unfinished pages, and finished them. Our photographers. Craig Creeger, Todd Iverson, Tom DeBates. and Darrin Hartzler. Our junior editors, Peggi Lorenzen and Marita Meinerts, who hold the honor of being the only editors who have ever met a deadline. Jana Spease, Jill Emery. Michele Mann. Dawn Geslin, Bjorn Hel- gaas, Loren Halverson, Kelly Broer, Vikki Miller, Kraig Keck, David Hartzler, Lisa Ripley, and Julie Anderson are the section editors who put in a lot of extra hours to make it happen. Warm'y’ Kirstin Weinman and Kim Murphy Senior editors Advisor's comment: Our staff was comprised of twenty-five to thirty very special people. Their potential for producing an outstanding yearbook existed. However, as with many team efforts, all staff members did not give one-hundred percent. To those who gave much more than I expected, a very special thanks. They are Kirstin Weinman, Marita Meinerts, Kraig Keck, Jana Spease, Bjorn Helgaas. Michele Mann, and Todd Iverson. q Weinman I his is the girls' once a year chance to pick the guy of her choice and give him the best night he has ever had.

Bye, Bye Birdie fter seven years at LHS without a musical, Bye, Bye Birdie revived interest in doing one.

Early morning planning, decorating during study hall and late at night, and getting paint over everything are just some of the things Juniors do for the Senior class. Caravan supplied the music in the atmosphere of heaven. Poem to the Seniors: Another year goes passing by Another Prom is here To some this brings a joyous smile To others brings a tear For six years you have tread a path From dawn to setting sun But now the path gets steeper And the climb has just begun. We're very glad to know you We'll miss you when you're gone And to the class of '82 We dedicate our Prom. -The Juniors The past to be remembered, the future to be explored 1.

Kazumi experiences the thrill of graduation 9 The Class of '82 Nineteen eighty-two is a year many people will remember as a year of change — change brought about by the pairing of the Magno- lia and Lu verne High school systems. It brought new blood into our teach- ing faculty and student body. In 1982 there were also things go- ing on nationally which people will remember such as the invasion of the Faulkland Islands, the assassina- tion attempt on President Reagan, and the continued fighting in the Middle East. These events of 1982 will live long in our memories as the stepping- stones of our future. CHOLMSHIP tz flEMtQSHIP 3. Honor students: Row one Kelly Broer. Jil Sieter, Connie Klein, and Tammi Hatting.

Carol Woodtey. and David Christenson Honored Achievements Kelly Broer Many students look forward to making National Honor Soci- ety each year but. unfortunately, not every student makes it. Those students that don't make it are often bitter and confused because they don't understand how students are chosen. The teachers review each student's record and evaluate each carefully. They then cast ballots for the students they feel are outstanding in their academic achievements, and who have a good character Honor students were selected this year instead of the traditional valedictorian and salutatorian. The top ten stu- dents who had the top grade point averages were chosen. The administration felt this was more fair to each student. 1. Karen Hansen in the serving line at the reception 2.
