S A D D “If we can dream it, it can be done.” That is the motto of SADD: Student Against Driving Drunk. This year a SADD chapter was initiated at LHS under the guidance of Mrs. Graphenteen and Mr. Erickson. SADD was founded by Robert Anastas, a former teacher and coach. He established the organizations four main goals: To help eliminate drunk driving and save lives, to alert High School students to the dangers of drinking and driving, to organize community alcohol awareness pro- grams, and to provide for peer counseling. To prevent teens from drinking and driving, SADD initiated the “Contract for Life.” This paper simply says that the student will call for sober transportation and the parent will agree to pick up the student and discuss the incident in the morning. The parents also agree not to drink and drive. e SADD metting in progress a d '°_sate' ' aV oxxft 3 Music Reflects The Beauty Of Life 36 1.

When looking at the reflection of the past year, we can see progress directing the path. The involvement of each individual and group resulted in a concert choir that was dedicated and hard working. The work paid off when the choir participated in the Southwest Choral Festival. The hard work also paid off for each individual who competed in solo and ensemble festival and ad- vanced to the state regional level. Other activities the choir was involved in were the Christmas concert. Pops concert and a music festival in Decorah, Iowa in April. 38 Voices Of America 4 The Choir Council: Row One: Anne Tofteland.

Although the students produce the music, it is the director’s responsibility to insure that the correct music is produced and that everyone gets involved. Not only do they direct large groups, but they also oversee small groups and teach lessons on a weekly basis. Although they are always busy, they still enjoy their work, the students, and the music. 1. Mrs. Goheen and Mrs. Talbert working on some new musical ideas. 2.

The marching band practiced many long and hard hours this past fall. The members were up at school many mornings by 7:00 a.m. They placed second at the Tri-State Band Festival which was held September 29. The band also performed at every home football game and at Vermillion and Brookings. At the end of their marching season, they held an indoor marching concert along with the Junior High Band. The Concert Band prepared for the Large Group District Contest by inviting in a clinicain to work with them in early March. They finished their season with a Pops Concert in May. 1.

They consist of both eighth and ninth grade music enthusiasts. They are under the direction of Mr. Les Mahaffay. Being the best band of the Tri-State Band Festival is not any easy job. Being the first band down the street can be tough, but especially in freezing temperatures and snow flurries as was the case in 1985. The band also competed in competitions in Madison, South Dakota. They also presented an indoor marching show in October and a winter and spring concert band performance. They have been working very hard and looking forward to future years as Senior High Band members. 1. The head of it all, Mr. Mahaffay 2.

The girls experienced an extremely successful season even though it was cut short by Fulda in the semi-finals of Districts. A first for the girls was their capture of second place in conferences right behind the Marshall Tigers, who took first. The final season record including play in three tournaments was 23-4-5. The four losses went to top schools in the Sioux City tournament and to Marshall. Melissa Bollinger and Dyan Carroll were awarded All-Conference honors while Michelle Ahrendt received an Honorable Mention. Jennifer Bot.

The Lady Cards started their season with a win against Ellsworth but then lost the next thirteen in a row. They lost two heartbreak- ers to Jackson by three and two points but did beat Marshall in an exciting one point victory. Leading the cards were four senior players: Katie Connell Missy Bollinger. Jenny Bot and Kay Wethor. Connell and Wethor also served as co-captains for the team. The year was a difficult one for the team but they never gave up and always seem to play a tough game. With a new coaching staff from the freshman level up, the group was growing together as the season went on and were looking good in the District Eight.

This year’s boy’s varsity team did their best to keep the tradition alive. With most of their players back from last year, the guys had exper- ience as their biggest asset. The team started off the season with four consecutive wins before losing a couple of very close games to O’Gorman and Brandon Valley of South Dakota. But the conference games are what really count. At press-time the team was tied for second place in the conference with District action next. Cardinal Row One: David Buffington, mgr., Craig Hoyme, Tom Roberts, Greg Maras. Tom Menage.

The emphasis is on basic funde- mentals that can be applied when they reach the varsity level. For some it is a new experience competing against other towns, but they enjoy the challenge and usually perform very well. Although it is work, they also take time out to indulge in the main purpose of sports, fun. 67 1. Team Captains- Barb and Kelly. Grace, balance, and poise describes this years gymnastics team. Despite their bad luck they had a good year. They suffered from sicknesses and sixteen injuries. Coach said they would have achieved more goals if they had not encoutencountered such terrible misfor- tunes. This years team showed a great improvement over the season. Their highest score this year was a 108, just behind last years with a 109. Even though they did not top last years score, they improved as the season went on. They all had goals they wanted to achieve but they all experienced dissappointment because they did not achieve their main goal which was to win a meet. But individually they all had goals they did achieve. Gymnastics is an individual sport. They all have to have their own goals and they need to have the will to achieve those goals. Also they have their own preference to which division they like the best and perform the best at. But they need the encouragement from others to keep them going. They are setting higher goals and have high hopes and expecta- tions for a strong Varsity team next year. They have a quite young team. B-squad won two meets this season which will help Varsity next year. But over all, the 85-86 team did “Pretty Well”, says Coach Bosshart. Cardinal Row One: Kelly Knutson. Lori DeJongh.

Pride, honor, dedication, and hardwork are a few words that can describe the team that reached plateaus. The grapplers started off the year with a big win against the Ellsworth Panthers. Following a little more than a week later was the Flandreau tourney, where the matmen took first place away from Clear Lake, a state ranked South Dakota team. Luverne had 10 wrestlers advance into the final round. The Cardinals also had some crushing moments, including close losses to Slayton and Worthington. Senior Brad Petersen had to bring his season to a screeching halt because of an elbow injury. Coach Lund- gren says, “that much of the success of the team was due to the dedication and leadership of the 4 seniors. Eric Eisner, wrestling at 132. had a fine season. He is nearing 40 career wins. At 112, Dave Duffy is shooting for his 60th. career win at Regions. Dan Serie, 185, has surpassed his 60th win, and has broken numerous career and season records. Serie was undefeated in regular season and district action. Another big moment for the grapplers came at their own Cardinal Tourney, when the guys came within 3 points of knocking off the state ranked Adrian Dragons. Luverne hosted the District 8 wrestling tournament on February 15. Six of our wrestlers advanced to region 2A action at Blue Earth. They include Greg Hoogeveen at 98, Daryl Meyer at 105, Dave Duffy at 112, Jason Kremin at 119, Dan Serie at 185, and Dave Gibson at Heavyweight.

Another big event for many juniors is getting their first car and learning how much gas an on-the-go student uses up in a week. Soon though, this will all be behind us because we will finally have reached our Senior year. All in all, it was a year of learning, growth, and fun which we will never forget. 1.

Some advice given by former sophos was, ’’Stay out of the Senior Lobby!” Moving one more step up the ladder has been chal- lenging class-wise, but it’s also been a lot of fun. Our curriculum included driver’s ed and the social life as a sophomore was enlarged just as soon as you had a license in your wallet. Future plans have to be taken more seriously: extra-curricular activities are more involving than ever. Having a voice in the Student Council was important. We weren’t the youngest class at Sr. High dances and were accepted more by the upper classmen. We made our own decisions, and got to know the class of “88 better. But most important, we have grown to know ourselves better. Our Sophomore year is one to remem- ber. Row 1: Lisa Bird, Eric Binford Row 2: Bridget Boelman, Karla Ailts.

Smile, you’re on candid camera. 99 100 Again this year another seventh grade class has entered Luverne High, the class of 1991. The seventh graders come bubbling over with their own ideas about “High School” Many of their ideas were conceived within the first few weeks of school, and they are still waiting for others. In six years from now when they have their caps and gowns on, perhaps thoughts may return back to those great days of seventh grade. 1 Row One Angela Nelson.

These bus drivers had to listen to kids screeming and jumping up and down for two long hours a day. They have to fight slippery roads and freezing cold blasts of air every time they open the door to drop a student off at home or pick them up in the mornings. Next time you see a bus driver give them a smile and a pat on the back for everything they put up with. 1. Row One: Dale Hartz, George DenHerder, Norman VerSteeg, HUke Garrels.

A School Survives On Full Stomachs And Good Health Good food is a key ingredient to a hard working school like Luverne. These ladies always have something cooking be it something for the hot line or the speed line. It’s served with a smile and always from the heart. 104 Ladies Behind Who, may you ask, are the ladies behind the scenes, who take care of all the many time-consuming tasks? The secretaries. The secretaries take care of seeing that students are not absent from school, typing forms, and keeping all those other impor- tant items that may seem like noth- ing. Although the duties of the secre- taries are different, they are all an important part of the school system at LHS. 1. Secretaries to the superintendent: Twila VerSteeg.

Well, planning for building repairs is just one of the responsibilities of our administrators: Superintendent, Norman Miller, and principals, John Rath and James Harner. Their other duties include: effective daily operation of the school, long range planning, and working with students, staff, and community to create a positive climate for learning. Ill When you are elected to the school board you will be both praised and ridiculed. People seldom realize how difficult a job these seven officials have to do. Often- times they must chose between the popular opinions and what is best for the school. 112 1 First Row; Jarnet Johansen, Art Wulf Second Row; Eugene Cragoe, Lowell Binford, Barb Golla, Dr. Robert Kaczrowski.

In anticipation of the Homecoming football game against Jackson, homecoming week began with the crowning of this year’s King and Queen. Bart Thielbar and Kris Gangestad had the honors of watching over the weeks activities as they were crowned Monday evening. Spirit was high in the hearts of many as the weeks activities got underway. The Cardinal volleyball team defeated Windom Tuesday evening. Other activities also included the 3rd Annual Powder Puff football game between the juniors and seniors. The seniors defeated the juniors with a score of 9 to 6. The junior guys were also defeated by the senior guys in the tug-of-war during half time. The weeks activities concluded Friday evening with the Cardinals losing to the Jackson Blue Jays and a Homecoming dance after the game. 1.

While living in Luverne she is a part of the John Theis family. Being a student at Luverne High School has been a very new experience for me. It has been alot of fun to meet new people and participate in new school activities. At LHS I am involved in the school choir, children’s theatre and I’m interested in cheerleading. I have not participated in any of these activities before because in Australia we do not have school activities like there is here. It’s really been fun to be a senior at LHS. In Australia I have only completed half of year eleven, so I have a year and a half of school left when I get home. I expect the most exciting part of the year to be the prom and graduation because we don’t have either at home. 1 Rhonda and her host family, the Theis’s. 2. Rhonda and her main sidekick. Scott. 3.

Are we but a drop soon to be forgotten in time? It seems we have reached the top of a world that hasn't been an easy climb. Finally we are on our own and entering the “real” world. Are we going to drown now that no is no longer a word? The sun shines on us and we seem to sing, the world will meet our every dream. Here is important knowledge we should bring —We must reach out and catch our sunbeam. Through the course we formed many bridges, interlacing, bonding us together.

With three seniors returning to this year’s boys’ tennis team, the Cards had more ex- perience at the net than they have had in recent years. However, with the majority of the team comprised of underclassmen, it was difficult for the team to come away from matches with many victories. On the brighter side of this is the fact that with so many fresh faces, coach Svingen has the building blocks for a future of excellent ten- nis in Luverne. 1. Tim Jarchow, Wayne Zewiske, Peder Berg.

The girls’ track team was headed by second year coach Nelson and assisted by Miss Norell. The team captains were Darci Kroontje, Linda Achterhof, and Kim Reisch. They helped pro- vide leadership for a team that was composed primarily of underclassmen. Connie Lais set several school records in the shotput and also competed at the state meet in that event. Over- all, it was a productive year for the team and a good learning experience for all of the mem- bers. 1. Colleen doing her best to catch the competition. 2.

Both teams advanced to the state competition in St. Cloud with Mark Iveland accomplishing a fourth place finish. Although the squads were largely comprised of seniors, many underclassmen participated in B-squad meets. This may mean many good things are still to come on the links for LHS.
