Susan Kay Andraska was born June 5,1957 in Park Falls, where she spent her entire life. On •July 9,1971, while visiting a friend in Sarasota, Florida, she was fatally injured in a car-bicycle accident. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Andraska now of Butternut, Wisconsin. The Class of 1975 will always remember Susan as an individual who was full of new ideas and future goals. Michael Walter Bruch was born November 24, 1957 in Park Falls, where he attended St. Anthony’s School and spent his entire life. While swimming in the Flambeau River on July 30, 1968, Michael drowned when pulled beneath the water by an undercurrent. He was the son of Mrs. Matthew Bruch and the late Mr. Matthew Bruch. Saddened and shocked, we, the yearbook staff and Class of 1975, miss him as a friend who is no longer with us to share what the future holds for each and every one of us. 2 CHANGING FROM AUTUMN . . . Today upon a tree I saw Some green leaves tinged with gold, And on the ground the summer grass Has withered and grown old; From faraway across the fields I heard a squirrel’s clear call, And in the cool north wind that blows There comes a hint of fall. And the world awakens To a colored countryside, Where red-brown deer Leave little hoof marks for all. The wild geese on their annual trek In haste go flying high, And Indian summer spreads her veil Of gray across the sky. And we feel our spirits lifting As cathedral organs chime. And from our heart we thank our God For blessed autumn time. from: Autumn and Red-Brown Deer by: Hattie Pope and Minnie Klemme TO SOUNDS OF WINTER AND A little spruce was crowded Beneath the pine trees on the hill. And he could hear them whisper When the wind was very still. Your branches are so scrawny And your trunk so small and thin. Then followed sounds of laughter As they teased and taunted him. Oh, how I wish I were as tall As all the other trees, Then I could spread my branches out In any way I please” . . . He waited very patiently, For there must be a plan For each and every blade of grass And each and every man . . . Then one snowy Christmas Eve He knew why he was born. He was taken to a church And gaily dressed for morn. from: Moment of Glory by: Lois Lehner SPRINGTIME Take time for friends . . . it is the source of happiness. Take time for work . . . it is the price of success. Take time to think . . . it is the source of power. Take time to read . . . it is the foundation of knowledge. Take time to laugh . . . it is singing that helps with life’s loads and frustrations. Take time to love . . . it is the one sacrament of life. Take time to dream . . . it hitches the soul to the stars. Take time to play . . . it is the secret to youth. Take time to worship . . . it is the highway to reverence. Take time for nature . . . it is the route to survival and the mark of life. from: Time by: Author Unknown 5 1 V COLOUR MY WORLD The 1974 Junior Prom, Colour My World”, was held on April 20, 1974. Music was provided by Jake”, which was more of a rock style band which all enjoyed. At 10:00 p.m. King Larry Weinberger and Queen Karen Campbell led the grand march while the song Colour My World” was played by the band. Jerry Voltz and Carole Greenwood, junior attendants; Perry Donner and Melody Obernberger, sophomore attendants; Pat Palecek and Jean Weborg, freshman attendants; and the crownbearers, Peter Jaglinski and Jessica Steiger, completed the rest of the court.

A very romantic style atmosphere in multi-colored balloons and stream- ers awaited approximately sixty couples. The main attraction was the blue waterfall surrounded by ducks, flamingos, and small birds. The prom chairman, Terri Heci- movich, along with her committee, thought the prom was a real suc- cess and all those who attended will surely never forget that roman- tic evening. DANCES, GAMES, PARADES, FLOATS AND (ABOVE) Riding in the annual Homecoming Parade are Queen Mary Walasek, Crownbearer Kenny Meyer, and King Jerry Page.

Festivities were held during the week of January 25 - February 1, 1975. On January 25, students interested in running for king and queen signed up and had their pictures taken. The student body then voted on the couple of their choice. King, Bill Hilgart; Queen, Cindy Hilgart; Primary Court, Dennis Liebelt and Nancy Wein- berger; Secondary Court, Dan Marinko and Janice Striegel; Crown- bearers, Todd Nissen and Chris Hil- gart, reigned over the events of Satur- day night’s dance. Arousing spirits, the faculty put on a pep skit depicting what the teachers’ lounge would be like forty years from now. Wrestling matches and basket- ball games were also part of the excit- ing week. A snowman building contest was held on February 1. Each organization was asked to build a snowman. First place went to G.A.A and Photography ($20) and second place went to Torch ($5).

FASHION NEWS AND VIEWS Fashion News and Views” was the theme of this year’s annual style show. More than forty models styled their sporty, casual, or formal clothing on which they themselves have sewed. Escorting the models were John Bodoh, Jim Bodoh, Bill Thompson, Jerry Pritzl, Mark Gottwald, and Dave Neeck. A series of short skits were provided by Drama Club. The students involved were Dave Drone, Nancy Weinberger, Wendy Meyer, Ann Balczewski, and Deb Peters. Other forms of entertain- ment, provided by the student body, were also on hand. Cheryl Mann sang her own composition and played her guitar. Sam Soper and Tammy Meyer sang three original duets and were ac- companied by Miss Rosenbauer, the choir director at Lincoln. Masters of Ceremony for the even- ing were Joyce Hintz and Faye Pet- lock. Joyce is an active member in Home Economics and Faye is a member of FHA. When asked. Miss Auger felt that the style show went very smooth and that the work the girls put into their projects showed. 14 THE 50’S In November, the girls got a chance to ask their favorite guy to the dance and go out to eat afterwards. The theme of this year’s Sadie Haw- kins was a Soc Hop,” and to dress in the style of the 50’s and 60’s was the thing to do. The gym was decorated with graf- fiti walls and the main colors were pink, black, and white. Punch was served at Mel's Drive-Inn.” Approxi- mately 200 people, in couples and sing- les, rocked to the music of the Monu- ments. Connie Drake, Joanne Gottwald and Linda Peterson were in charge of Sadie Hawkins and were pleased with the results of the evening. This year was the first year there was no type of coronation. This was because no one was thought to have come dressed up even though a few did. This was another change made at Lin- coln this past year.

Set in New York City during modern times, the story mainly involved stereo types of today. Don Baker, played by John Balc- zewski, moved into his simple New York apartment thinking it was great. A young actress, portrayed by Tracy Lobermeier, moved next door and sud- denly Donny’s life became great. Don was blind and had an over protective mother, played by Deb Peters, who vis- ited him and wanted him to move home again. The crew consisted of: Student Di- rector and Props, Mary Phillips; make-up, Sue Hartway; and promp- ters, Karen Martin and Ann Balc- zewski. The director was Mrs. Musso, an English teacher at Lincoln. Butterflies Are Free” received an A” rating at Sub-District in Mellen. Traveling on to District in Superior, the play was awarded an A” enabling them to advance on to Sectionals. However, the play received a B”, re- moving them from further competi- tion. Some students of the Junior High and High School put on the play, You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown”, this past year and proved to be a suc- cess. Playing the roles of Charlie Brown and his friends were: Charlie Brown, Mark Kronberger; Linus, Sam Soper; Lucy, Lisa Sheedy; Schroeder, Curt Sheldon; Patty, Mary Byers; Snoopy, Gail Hiltz. The play was organized by Miss Rosenbauer, who put a lot of time and effort into the production. It was put on for two nights — a success each time.

ASSEMBLIES AND CONCERTS The assemblies this year consisted of three, along with several pep as- semblies presented by the cheerlead- ers to raise school spirit and encourage the student body to back their team. Each class put on a short skit along with the faculty who also arranged a skit which focused on the year 2000. At our first assembly, a gentleman demonstrated various types of guitars and also sang. One of the assemblies was not here at L.H.S. but at the new Elementary School, where a group of musicians performed. The last assem- bly was an acrobatic family from Bel- gium, which all enjoyed. Assemblies usually took place dur- ing second hour class period. The as- semblies lasted about one hour, but the student body sometimes encour- aged the group to stay a little longer. The assemblies were both interest- ing and informative, and they were a break from the everyday school routine. (LEFT) From the School Assembly Service, this gentleman provided entertainment while play- ing four different types of guitars. (BELOW) During a Pep Assembly, some of the guys took over the job of the cheerleaders and aroused the spirits of many before the night’s football game. 19 THE BASIS OF OUR EDUCATION Due no doubt to the strenuous mental exercise of studying for seven hours, students often forget where they last placed their books, or shoes, or folders. It is part of the janitors’ job to deal with these forgotten items as well as many other things that we take for granted during the course of the day. Cleaning up after wrestling, basketball, volleyball, and basketball meets are greatly appreciated by the whole school. Many long hours are spent shoveling snow, painting, and replacing broken equipment at school, also. The cooks provide the students of L.H.S. with delicious breakfasts, noon lunches, and meals for special occa- sions. Hot cereals, toast, orange juice and other foods were prepared for students as well as faculty members at the cost of 10c. We often take their services for granted. Along with food preparation they dust ledges and rails around school. The cooks of L.H.S. are hardworking, and the students and faculty are proud to have them.

Bus drivers trans- ported students to and from school each day. Also, they drove buses to various field trips, wrestling matches, volleyball, basketball, football, and baseball games, as well as track and gymnastics meets and music festival trips. Keeping on schedule and pleasing many people is not always an easy job. The students would like to thank you for your effort. 22 (ABOVE) Cooks: O. Hickey, G. Schneider, A. Balzar, V. Michalski.

Mr. Ross fills the position of Principal at Lincoln High again this year. He sees to that each day the students work with faculty to insure a smooth-running and efficient school. Mr. Frokjer is the Superintendent of Schools once again. He works with the school board and sees to it that the school is run in the most beneficial way. To provide students with the opportunity of the best possible education. Lincoln High is extremely lucky to have a principal and superintendent who care and are willing to give so much time and effort for the benefit of the students. The school board this year has taken care of the mechanics and basics of the running of a school. This year two students, Deb Peters and Ron Hilgart, took part in the discussions at the school board meetings. Meetings were held on the third Monday of every month. At the meetings, school budgets, school funding, and financial status were discussed. Few people realize the importance of the secretaries within our school. Mrs. Heisler, secretary to the principal, takes care of make-up slips, lunch counts and the business end of the principal’s job. Also, recording of student grades and student absentees is part of her job. Mrs. Heisler works hard to support the decisions of the principal. Mrs. Erickson is the secretary to Mr. Frokjer, the Superintendent of Schools. Also located in the Superin- tendent’s office is the bookkeeper, Ms. Jehn. Both these secretaries have furthered school functions. (BELOW) Velda Heisler, Secretary to the Principal. (BELOW) l oretta Jehn, Bookkeeper of Schools.

Mr. Kittock, a former student at Delano, Minnesota High School has been teaching Humanities, Communi- cations II, and Photography for the past two years here at Lincoln. Mr. Kittock says that he likes teaching here because the people are so pleasant and very easy to get along with. The Park Falls area is most satisfactory because it is so close to the many ski resorts, along with the many points of interest to him. Like most people, Mr. Kittock enjoys traveling a great deal throughout the various parts of the U.S. Being a photography teacher, travel fits in just perfectly.

Ed. is required in your first three years of high school, but is an elective in your senior year. The seniors who take Phy. Ed. have co-ed classes. Mr. Pirrotta said teaching co-ed Phy. Ed. is a great deal of fun, providing the classes aren’t too large. ’’Coach” Pirrotta participated in sports like football, basketball, and track while attending high school. But he said his favorite sport to teach or to play is football. Miss Rosenbauer teaches girls’ choir, concert choir, seventh and eighth grade choir, and creative dram- atics. The extra curricular activities she partakes in are: director of dramatics and she also plays on the faculty volleyball, basketball, and bowling teams in G.A.A. This year Miss Rosenbauer coached the play, ’’You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” She enjoyed doing it and said that it was a lot of work, but worth every minute of it. She also said she wasn’t used to working with such an ambitious group of kids. Mr. Nordall directs the senior band and gives instrumental lessons. He’s also involved with the Jazz Ensemble, Pep Band, Stage Band, and is class advisor. Mr. Nordall said he can play most of the instruments to a certain degree, but he likes playing the piano best. To him the piano is also the easiest to play because he’s played it longer than any other instrument. (ABOVE) Mr. Pirrotta checks the bowling scores of his students. Mrs. Frokjer teaches Physical Education to grades nine through twelve. She’s also involved with the Girls’ Athletic Association and coaches girls’ gymnastics.

HELPING US THROUGH Mrs. Graf who teaches two classes of beginning typing and one class of beginning shorthand, said this had been the best year since she’s been here because of the added space and new equipment, partially funded through the CAPSTONE program. For two consecutive hours in the afternoon, Mrs. Graf was the teacher-coordinator for the Secretarial Practice - CAPSTONE. Mr. Knutson, guidance counselor here at Lincoln, enjoys contact with young people as they are a very vibrant, ever moving, ever changing group in our society.” Interesting ideas that young people wanted to pursue were police science, engineering, animal science, and law for young ladies, and young men wanting to go into oceanography, landscaping, agricultural engineering, nursing, and chef work. These people in their very unique- ness make my work very challenging.” (ABOVE) Mr. Knutson helps plan the future for students at Lincoln. (RIGHT) Mr. Burant was librarian at Lincoln.

Together, the girls and guys on the Lincoln Track team have decided to hold meets on the same day. The events are also the same. The running events in track are the 100 yd. dash, 220 yd. dash, 440, 880, 440 relay, 880 medley, and the mile run. The field events are shot, discus, long jump, and high jump. The guys have also pole-vaulting and the two mile run. In girls’ track, three girls placed in sectional competition. Glenda Graf entered in the 100 yd. dash, 220 yd. dash, and the long jump. Cindy Geng competed in the long jump, and Lynn Wagner entered in shot. They were all eliminated from further com- petition after being defeated. The girls took fourth place in conference and had an overall winning season. The bright spot of the guys’ team was on Mark Roller. Also entering in sectionals in the 100 yd. dash and the 220 yd. dash, Mark went further to state competition where he lost. Many records were set by the team. Miss Kroepel and Mr. Pirotta were the team coaches. Assisting Mr. Pirotta was Mr. Swenson.

This year the girls have done many things to help the community, along with a little pleasure on the side. The members of FHA cleaned up the downtown park areas. They also visited the local rest homes and have bridged the gap between young and old. Along with this, they worked on projects and a skit to present at a rally held in Prentice. For their own enjoyment they have gone out to eat, bowling, and on trips. The FHA members raised the money for these activities by holding hot dog sales after school. FHA sponsored the annual Talent Show, the Fashion Show, and the Flea Market.

It gives the students national recog- nition. Each year two students are selected or nominated to compete for a National Honor Scholarship. This year, nominees were Gay Miller and Cindy Hilgart. As for the last few years, this organization has not had officers and this was true again this year. But as before, it is a form of recogni- tion. The students are chosen by their scholastic abilities only. They must have a 3.5 grade point average or above and are then selected at the end of the first semester of their junior year.

For marching, the colorguard was increased to twenty members, and the rifle squad to six members. After many hours of practice, the band perfected its street and Field routines. They performed at half- time for all home football games as well as participating in numerous band competitions. For the rest of the year, the band concentrated on concert music. Their Christmas concert consisted of classical music. They also had a Pop and Spring concert. In spring, the music festivals came with many par- ticipating in the Solo Ensemble contest. It was a rewarding year for most of the band members. (ABOVE) The senior band officers are, left to right: president.

For the second year, under the direction of Miss Rosenbauer, the Lincoln High School Concert Choir had another successful year. The choir is made up of sophomores, juniors, and seniors, with a few fresh- men, also. The choir had four concerts this year. The fall, Christmas, spring, and Pop concerts entertained all. Madrigals and Swing Choir also sang at the Christmas concert. These two groups are made up of interested choir members. During Christmas, the choir visited the nursing homes to spread a little Christmas cheer. In the spring, many members went to the District Solo Ensemble Festi- val. Two triple-trios went and did a fine job. The choir can be proud of the ex- cellent work they did this year. 67 SING OUT STRONG Girls’ choir, well into their fourth year of existence, proved that you can keep a good thing going. This group, made up mostly of freshman and sophomore girls, met every morning during first hour. The girls learned how to better develop their voices, and the value of rhythm. They also learned how to read and interpret music. The girls’ choir participated in the Fall, Christmas, Pop, and Spring con- certs. They also sing at the various rest homes during the Christmas season. In the spring, the girls tuned their voices up for the annual Solo Ensemble Festival. Whether singing alone or in groups, the girls did their best for the judge. (ABOVE) Officers of the «iris’ choir were, left to right: (BACK ROW) Ix ri Wells. Jean Peterson, and Connie Drake.

Nancy Wein- berger and Julie Peterson earned their letters in volleyball. Letterman’s Club, under the ad- visorship of Mr. Swenson, is open to guys who have received letters in one of the varsity sports. The varsity sports are as follows: baseball, foot- ball, golf, wrestling, basketball, and track. Girls’ sports include volleyball, gym- nastics, and track. Girls need two credits for a jacket whereas the guys need one. Credits are earned when the individual is on a varsity team and plays in a certain number of games. One of the activities of Letterman’s Club was operating their popcorn stand, which was seen at all sports events.

Nancy Weinberger, Co-Editor; Nadine Woody, Co-Editor The production of this year’s yearbook was a major excursion into the fields of journalism and photography. I hope that the entries are just tributes to the activities, joys, sorrows, and life at Lincoln during the 1974-1975 school year. I would like to express a special thank you to the staff photographers for their many hours in the darkroom. Also, I would like to give thanks to Mr. Busby, our advisor, and to MacGregor Litho, especially Mr. Boettcher, who helped to make this yearbook a success. For the people who worked on the book and you who bought the book, many thanks. Senior Editor Nancy Weinberger 126 — AUTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS m 128
