Luverne High School - Cardinal Yearbook (Luverne, MN)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1985 volume:

To the Students: This year, as in the past, we have tried our hardest to produce a yearbook that would capture some of the flavor of the 1984-85 school year. I believe we have achieved this goal in the following pages in the form of photographs and words. As you read the book I hope that you will remember YOCJR experience at LHS, not just the ones that are mentioned in this book. 1 2 Sr. Editor, Craig Creeger Contents: by Paul Ebert The rage of Christmas ’83 and the fad of 84 had to be Cabbage Patch Kids. People waited in line for hours to buy one of these dolls that came with their own adop- tion papers, and no two just alike. During the summer of ’84 movie houses were packed with people viewing box of- fice smashes. Ghostbusters or Purple Rain starring Prince. Record stores were packed with discs from the outrageous Boy George and Culture Club, the eyebrow raising Prince, the unusual Cyndi Lauper, and the boss Bruce Springsteen. During the spring and summer the Democrats were holding primaries to see who would go up against the incumbent, Ronald Rea- gan. The Democrats chose Minnesota's Walter Mon- dale. In early November, the people of the (J.S. made their decision, with Ronald Reagan winning his second term. Barney Clark became the first human to receive an ar- tificial heart. He survived for 112 days on the plastic heart made by Porter Juarich. In early December the second artificial heart was success- fully transplanted into an- other human being. Science has raised many unanswered questions in '84-companies patenting DNA strands for producing human insulin, fertilizing and growin human embryos in petri dishes, splicing genes to engineer better peo- ple and offspring. 1,4 The biggest sports news of '84 was the Summer Olympics held in Los An- geles. The Russian boycott led the way for the CJ.S. ath- letes to win a record number of gold medals. Who can for- get Carl Lewis winning four gold medals, little Mary Lou Retton winning the first gold medal in gymnastics for the U.S., or of Mary Decker as she lost all chance for a gold when she fell in the 15,000 meter finals? The ’84 Olym- pics saw many firsts for the (J.S. The first gold medal for men and women in gymnas- tics. Men's volleyball, water polo, Greco Roman wres- tling, and many other teams winning their first medals of any kind. The rest of the sports headlines were taken up with the Los Angeles Raid- ers winning the Super Bowl, the Detroit Tigers winning the World Series, and the Boston Celtics winning the NBA championships. Closer to home, Les Steckel be- came the new coach of the Vikings, the Twins finished with a .500 record for the first time in six years, and the proposed opening of a pari-mutual horse racing track in Shakopee was set for summer, 1985. 1984 marked the fourtieth anniversary of the D-Day in- vasion. War and nuclear war was also brought to our at- tention by the dramatic movie The Day After.” It offered a view of what nucle- ar war really was and what the aftermath would really bring about. The year was also marked by the death of a comedian. Andy Kaufman, Mo-town star Marvin Gaye, big band leader Duke Ellington, and the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Ghandi. The year was also tarnished by the massacre at a southern California McDonald's of twenty-one men, women, and children. 1.5 Another Part Of Our Lives Senior Involvement by Ellen Jarchow Being a senior means more than just your last year of high school leading up to graduation. It means your last year of high school activities, too. It’s your year to give everything your best shot. This includes everything from speech or writing for the paper to varsity sports, plays, and music. If you don't get involved in any extra curricular activities, you’ll really miss out on a lot. You’ll miss the thrill of opening night, the excitement of winning a game, or the feeling of accomplish- ment on a speech well done or a song well sung. Extra curricular activities are one of the best parts of this year. Your senior year is your last year of high school. You should make the most of it!

Then, when you are a freshman, they cut in front of you in the lunch line. They are a unique grade. A lot of fun, but sometimes a lot of work. As a senior, you know it is your last year. Some people think this means it is time to ' slack off.” Some seniors do, but the majority of try to get better grades than in any other of their high school years. To be a senior means to take re- sponsibility and not abuse it. I think we can do it.

When you think about high school you probably remember the homework, sleepless nights, and oth- er undesirable thoughts. But, let’s be fair, school was a lot of fun, too. The way each of us spent our time was unique. A typical Friday night for some would be: Friday- 7:00-9:00 • Pick up chicks guys and go road surfin’ from Pizza Hut to Pamida and back. 9:00-2:00 - Participate in mild party activities. 2:00- ? - Take your chick guy home. Saturday- Morning • Explain to your parents why you were late. “They burned the pizza four times and then the car ran out of gas on the way home. ■ J 7 Senior Quotes by Kevin Gyberg In a college, I look for their reputa- tion as a leader in their area, and a relatively small student body, which means a less informal atmo- sphere of learning. As I leave the halls of LHS for the last time, I will feel optimistic, but in a positive way, knowing that I have been taught and guided by some of the best teachers and ad- ministrators the nation has to of- fer. by Kari Oldre As I look over my years at LHS, I look at the friends I've made, the things I’ve learned, and the exper- ience I've gained. After graduation my hope is to be accepted as a Rotary exchange student to Germany or another European country and postpone college for a year. I would like to major in International Relations and possibly go into this field after college.

V J ii z' Senior Classes by Craig Creeger What’s the big deal about those senior classes?You know the ones; Physics, Reference and Research, Advanced Math, and Computer III (a new one to the list this year). Amy Walgrave using the microfilm reader for her Reference and Research class. The teachers who teach these classes believe that their class will help you when you get out of high school. Sadly though, they are right. It’s just too bad that they couldn't be easier classes. First semester there were three people in the Computer III class, 11 in the physics class, and 14 in the R R class. These lucky few got the chance to spend their evenings at home so that they could do home work until 12:30 every night. The entire Computer III class first semester.

The kids dressed up for each day of the week. The spirit days included: sweats day, occupation sport day, punk vs. prep day. nerd teacher day, and red white day. Coronation was held on Monday the 24th and Queen Wendy Cragoe and King Scott Stoltenberg were crowned. The week also included many new fun things. Wednesday night, the newly formed Pep Club put on a bonfire for the juniors and seniors. Wednesday they also hosted a hall decorating contest. A balloon launch followed the kick-off at the game.

In the Rotary Exchange Program. Ari had the opportunity to stay with three fam- ilies. Larry and Colleen Hoyme. Jim and Judy Herman, and Ben and Cash Vander Kooi, Sr. Ari was a member of the senior high choir and a member of the Cardinal tennis team. Some of Ari's favorite activities include play- ing the guitar, tennis, and horseback riding. Since the first moment I got here. I have really liked it. The people and families I've stayed with were all very nice, Ari stated. The senior class of 85 tried to make Ari feel at home, and we hope she will always look back at her experience and great memories at LHS. Top Picture. Front Row: Laura Herman. Craig Hoyme.

As hosts of the Tri-State Band Festival the band took first place in the street competition and second place in the field competition in their class. Other events the marching band participated in were at Worthington. Sioux Falls, Vermillion, and Madison South Dakota. P An honor was bestowed on the Luverne Marching Band. They were asked to be Minnesota’s representative at the Independence Day Parade at Washington, D.C. This is a great experience and we should be very proud of our band. 18 1.

From the soprano section to the bass section, each voice has its own range, depth, tim- bre. and reflects the personality of the singer. The objective of the Concert Choir, through the philosophy of the direc- tor, is to blend these individual voices into one. The choir performed in their first home concert before the Southwest Choral Festival. Other activities for the year were: the Christmas con- cert. Chili Supper and Floorshow. the winter Carnival, solo and solo and ensemble competition, large group contest, working with a guest clini- cian, and the Spring Pop concert. They made their last performance at graduation. 1. Swing Choir in action. 2. Row one: Linda Achter- hof. Heide Folle, Shelly Baustian, Sigrid Nelson. Tim Gust. Steve Odland. Mark Lloyd, Paul Arends.

These groups include: The New Dimension, Senior Boys Barbershop, Junior Boys’ Barbershop, Sophomore Girls’ Triple Trio, Junior Girls’ Triple Trio, and the Senior Girls’ Group. Being involved in a small group means getting up early and being at rehearsal at 7:30 every week. The hard work and dedication pays off when it comes to performances.

By the end of the year, annual staff members usually end up with inferiority complexes. Whenever an annual staff member carrying a camera walks up to a group of people, they suddenly disap- pear. Then, they have to go back to the annual room and amuse themselves by throwing rubber cement balls at each other. 5 Deadline is the most dreaded word to annual staff members. We rarely meet them, but the book always gets done. We may go a little insane at times, but we are a dedicated and hard working staff. 35 Echo—Keeping The Students Informed The Echo allows the student at LHS to keep up to date on the various events held throughout the school, as well as help the students learn more about their teachers and peers. Managing the Echo staff is the responsibil- ity of Mr. Gits. He is assisted by the editori- al editors; Cindy Hamer, Ellen Jarchow, and Lucinda Madtson. Their responsibility is to help edit the articles and plan possible stories for each edition. The typing editor is Chris Zewiske. He is the one to come to with questions on how your article should be typed. Echo’s business manager is Laura Herman. She must talk to the local businessmen and get advertisements for the paper. There is also a circulation editor for the Echo which is Wendy Wassenaar. Her job is to find out how many people there are in each seventh hour class and distribute the Echo accordingly. 36 1.

Many rehearsal hours after school and at night went into the production. The cast, technical crew, and make up art- ists traveled to Fulda and Worthington to put on performances for the grade school children. The play was also given for Lu- verne and Magnolia students. The technical crew — Doug Fick, Craig Creeger, and Bernt Helgaas — saw to it that all lighting and sound for the play functioned properly.

This year’s play was The Acting Lesson, by Willard Simms. The theme is a lesson on life. The students in the play are given different roles to play, but at the end of the play, they are told to act their own parts. They must do what they believe in, and they are put in a situation that all humans must deal with — death. The cast included Tania Lyon, Jennifer Stewart, Jim Emery, and Chris Zewiske. Tech crew members included Craig Creeger, Doug Fick, and Mark Engebret- son. Directing the play was Mrs. Roberts. 1. Jennifer “Teacher watches her pupils perform. 2.

This year's resolution was Resolved that the Federal Government should provide employment for all employable ti.S. citi- zens living in poverty. On the affirmative side were federal jobs creation programs such as workfare and public service employment. On the negative side were arguments that the problem is minimal and the status quo is solving it. The novice team consisted of Marta Achterhof. Michelle Shaw, Nancy Rath, Amy Dispanet, Tim Bollinger. Kelley Tollefson, and Ace Dispanet. The nov- ice team traveled to tournaments at Sioux Falls Washington and Lincoln High Schools. The J.V. and championship teams con- sisted of Anne Tofteland, Becky Op- sata. Seana Roberts, Jane Kirchhofer, Carter Headrick, and Andy Golla. These people traveled to tournaments at Sioux Falls. Brookings. Mankato, Chaska, South St. Paul, and Watertown. This year, Tammy DeSchepper compet- ed in Lincoln Douglass, or one person, debate. Tammy did very well in early tournaments placing second at South St. Paul and tying for first at Brookings. For the first time this year LHS speech team members went along on some de- bate trips to participate in individual events. Participants were Tania Lyon, Linda Achterhof, Carter Headrick, Becky Opsata, Chris Zewsiki, and Jim Emery. 1. Row one: Kelley Tollefsen. Marta Achterhof. David McDonald.

They also learned how to chicken dance. German Club members observed Weinachtsfest (Christmas), by writing letters to St. Nickolaus, making a Weinachts chain, sampling German cookies, and having a Christmas party.

In this way, students can help to decide what types of events to hold and what to do with the money that they make. Student Council is the voice of the students and allows them to play an active role in the operation of the school. 48 1 The Senior High student council in action. 2.

Mrs. Spease, the bowling coach, tabulated the handicaps every week in order to equalize the point spread between competing teams. Every week the high bowler was announced over the intercom system at school. The tournaments were not played by the time this went to the publisher, so final scores are not known. 1.

The football players were working hard long before many of us thought of returning to school. The varsity team was coached under Mr. Robert Osterday, new to Luverne’s teaching staff this year. Mr. Osterday showed the guys what it is to work and what it takes to win. The team was lead by their three senior captains Dan Pick, Dan Emery, and Todd Fiatequal. Dan Pick, Allen Fiske, and Dan Serie all received All Conference Honors. The team finished with a final record of 1 8. 1 Falling on the ball after a hard day s practice. 2.

The 1984 varsity volleyball team achieved record-breaking honors this year. The team, including seven seniors and eight juniors, set the district title as their preseason goal. Going far beyond their original goal, they ended the year with a 20-8 record and won a trip to State. Some of the highlights this year were winning the Central Lyon tournament. District 8 championship. Region 2 champion- ship, and participating in the state tourna- ment. Nancy Dirks and Lucy Madtson received All- Conference honors, and Missy Bollinger re- ceived an honorable mention. Coach Mary Jo Graphenteen stated that the biggest highlight of the year was watching them play. 1 Left to right: Coach Graphenteen. Dyan Carroll. Missy Bollinger. Wendy Wassenaar. Theresa Hansen.

The Cardinals overall record was 2 5 with wins over Sioux Falls Lincoln and Mar- shall. Ellen Jarchow was chosen team captain while Sigrid Nelson was voted Most Valu- able Player. Sara Rud and Paula Hoffman placed first in the doubles category in the Southwest Conference. No players advanced to Re- gion II play. 71 Varsity Basketball Giving It Their Best The Cards started the season off by defeating Southwest Chris- tian 62-61 in the challenging opener. The team also defeated Pipestone. Hills-Beaver Creek, and Jackson. With enthusiasm and spirit, the Cardinal team is “rebuilding.” Reconstructing the team due to the loss of several starters takes time. At this point and time, patience is the key word for both the guys and fans. 72 1. Bryce Brands goes up for a basket while Scott DeBates looks on. 2. Greg Guhin jumps strong as he shoots for two. 3.

Girls’ Basketball The Girls’ Basketball season had its share of ups-and-downs this year, but there was no lack of trying by the participants. We felt we had a good foundation to win, but we lacked the num- bers needed on the bench to really compete with the powers of the conference,” said Coach Schmidt. Battling eight teams at the Pipestone Holiday Tournament, the team brought a third place vic- tory home. Seniors on the team are Lucinda Madtson, Nan- cy Dirks, Lisa Ahrendt, and Barb Ehlers.

This year's squad had eight returning lettermen. These wrestlers are involved in a rigorous training schedule. Their first goal is to drop enough weight to make certification. These wrestlers exercise everyday for two hours running halls, lifting weights, and practicing their many wrestling moves. r Wrestling is unique in that it is both a team and an individual sport. Each individual win or loss contributes to the total team score. But the sacrifices are worth it when the end result is a victory. 81 1. “Try me! Cocaptain Paul Ebert. 2.

You're not at the bottom anymore, but then again, you are not Fresh- men-top of the Junior High-yet. Trying to fit in seems to be the main goal of an average eighth grader. You are too young to cruise and yet you are to old to go home after a football or basketball game. You are just not quite old enough to attend senior high dances. But you’ve got lots too look forward to getting your license, becoming old enough to attend senior high dances, and becoming the top of the junior high-FRESHMEN!!! When you look back on your eighth grade year, there will be lots of memories-the roller skating party, Mr. Althoff’s math class, and going to J O’s at noon.

All of a sudden they’re thrown into the strange new world of junior high. In this world you must make it to your next class in four minutes or less, are allowed to chew gum in some classes, and can even skip school lunch to eat junk food at J O’s. And there’s also dances. By the end of the year most seventh grad- ers have figured out that dancing with a member of the opposite sex isn’t THAT bad. Most people find the seventh grade experience unforgettable. 104 1.

Although students have changed in participation and attitudes, it is his regard for young people that has kept him in the teaching profession. More student involvement is a changing ap- proach that Mr. Gits uses in his classroom. Thirty years of teaching has molded him into a more mellow personality in contrast to his growl which was never a bite. Mr. Gits has fulfilled his obligations to his church, profession, and his nation by his offices in city government, his professional organiza- tions. and by his military service. 113 Leading Today—Anticipating For Tomorrow Mr Miller, our superintendent of School District 670. is making “things happen. He has taken care of the remodeling making our school more energy efficient, has provided the leadership for the faculty, is investigating the use of telecom- munications and has the positive attitude to make good things seem routine for our school and community. Mr. Rath, our senior high principal, works di- rectly with the faculty, is in charge of maintain- ing the many school records, takes care of the numerous problems the students have, and as- sists in creating the educational atmosphere necessary for maximum productivity. Mr. Harner. the junior high principal, is involved with the scheduling of the student's classes, does extensive work on revising the curricu lum. evaluates existing programs, does some counseling, and is willing to assist both stu- dents and faculty as needs arise. Ah!—those Luverne schools—a special place! 114 Schoolboard-Planners For Our Future The Schoolboard is responsible for many of the things that go on at LHS. They decide on major issues, man age the schools money, and evaluate the curriculum. They have high stan dards for this school, which include high educational standards, modern facilities, and functioning at a reason able cost to the taxpayer. Thes seven individuals usually meet once a month to discuss different is- sues. They have a tough job to do and find satisfaction in being a part of our educational system. I. Barbara Golla. 2.

Always ready to serve you with a smile, the LHS secretaries are what keep this school running smoothly. If it were not for them, this school could not operate. They are kept busy typing letters, keeping records, making announcements, and many other things vital to the operation of this school. We are all indebted to them and owe them a great deal of thanks for their work and dedication. 1. Connie Nash, secretary to the principals. 2. Twila Ver Steeg. secretary to the superintendent. 3.

What would we do without our LHS custodians? They clean our class- rooms. keep our halls free of clutter, and keep our school looking like new. (and they're always there when you need them to open a locked door). Sometimes we fail to realize all that our custodians do for us. At basket- ball games we all see them sweeping the floor at half-time. What we fail to realize is that they’re there long after we leave, cleaning up our popcorn boxes, pop cans and confetti. Our custodians keep our school look- ing new!!! NORTHlU I Tools of the trade. 2. Row one: Marve Doering. Isak Rye. Bob Mann, and Dick Baatz Mitchell. Lin Becker. Del Slagel.

Without them there would be no school for the rural kids depend on them to bring them to and from school every day. They have a hazardous job in the winter, driving huge buses through snowdrifts and ice-not to mention driving with all those rowdy kids. They're also important to our sports program, for without them we wouldn't be able to go to away games. Being a bus driver is often a thankless job, but we the students of LHS would like to say THANKS! 1. A bus driver at work. 2. Row one: Lon Remme. Larry Harms. Gale Cousins.
