Frequently Attended The Outcasts , a band made up of local students, performed at one of the school dances. Tom Greenwood as well as many other students en- joyed themselves at the dances held after the games. Student life is seen in the halls and on the faces of the students from September 1 to May 28. In the fall nightlife is blown up with class floats and home- coming festivities. As winter turns its corner the one act play, debate and basketball come into the lime- light. As soon as the snow flies, the school creaks with snowmobiling. With spring fever prom thumps in the hearts of the students. To add attraction to the year, birthday celebrations can be seen in the cafeteria. 4 21

Informal Dances ¥ The King and Queen led the first dance after the coronation. Joan Bly and Joe Campbell seem to be enjoying them- selves, while Vicki Svehla looks on in the background. King Dick Welty and Queen Linda Novitzke were crowned by Bill Tomczak and Pat Schultz. Sadie Hawkins, on November 8, provided a chance for the girls to take that special guy out and treat him to a night on the town — all expenses paid. Reigning as King and Queen for the evening were Linda Novitzke and Dick Welty, who disguised them- selves as paupers. Attendants sporting way-out hippie costumes were Pat Schultz and Bill Tomczak. Joan Bly and |oe Campbell received the award for the best dressed couple, being the Campbell Soup Kids, while Beth Jeske and )udy Olson split the prize for corsage with their candy-covered-apple creation. Mr. Ross did the judging and awarded the prize — a can of beans.

Various Activities Occ In mid-October two students from Mr. Ross's senior English classes vowed that although they lived in the push-button society of the 20th century, they could withstand the elements of nature like the ancient cave dwellers and they set out to prove their point Dan Hoffman and Al Scherwinski made a bet with Mr. Ross that they could live, with few modern con- veniences and a budget of one dollar, in a tent for one week. Surprisingly enough, the boys won the wager. With the aid of sleeping bags, matches, a soup bone, and shotguns, Al and Dan camped twelve miles from town, hunting partridge and digging potatoes so as not to die from starvation! By the end of their adventure, Dan had lost fifteen pounds while Al had lost thirteen pounds. Dan Hoffman and Al Scherwinski posed for the pho- tographer at their campsite, showing the weapons they used to obtain food. The boys prepared all their meals at the campsite, Wary campers, the boys were always ready in case except for those they earned working in the kitchen at they had some wild visitors in the evening, school. 22
