Faculty volleyball and bowling. Miss Davern was junior class advisor and vice-president of the negotiation committee for the PF A. In making class interesting, Business Law performed a mock trial in class. 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. After teaching English classes in Park Falls for six years, Mr. Burant has taken on the full-time job of librarian.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT (ABOVE) Miss Rosenbauer directs the Girls’ Chorus. (FAR RIGHT) Mr. Nordall directs Concert Band. Mr. Pirrotta majored in Physical Education at Mankato State and teaches the boys’ Phy. Ed. Classes here at Lincoln High. Phy. 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. Mrs. Frokjer has been teaching for seventeen years in all, and thirteen of those years have been here at Lincoln High. She majored in Phy. Ed. and math.
