To MacGregor Litho, Inc. of Park Falls, and to their staff, we proudly present this yearbook to mark this bicentennial year. Special thanks to Mr. John Boettcher who so tactfully guided us with the art work, composition, layout sections, and the printing of this edition. To Mr. James Christi, we ex- press our gratitude for delivering the 1975 yearbooks so that distribu- tion was possible on Class Day of last year. The Torch Staff offers thanks to all who made the Torch a success by contributing time, talent, and effort to put this 1976 Torch to- gether. 2 PEOPLE TO PEOPLE Association with one another is experienced in many ways throughout our lives. Throughout our years, we meet people on a one-to-one basis, or in a gymnasium full of friends, relatives, maybe complete strangers. To sum it up, we are quite simply people who need people. ABOVE: The Band played at the home football games both on the field at half time and in the bleachers before the game. RIGHT: Not everyone was helping while taking the underclassmen pictures. BELOW: Mr. Busby s fifth hour study hall was one of the smaller study halls with just under 100 students. 3 SCHOOL IS . . . Basically education. We learn exactly what we want to learn, and get as much from it as we put into it. Besides learning the offered and required subjects, there are also social activities that form character in all of us, and prepare us for the future. School is the beginning for professional people, athletes, politicians, musicians, teachers, architects — there is no limit, and it’s all up to you. ABOVE: Much to the enjoyment of the people in the Extended Care, the girls from the CAPSTONE Class addressed Christmas cards. Above is Melody Obernberger ABOVE RIGHT: Along with his other duties as a principal. Mr. Ross uses a style of his own in his 2nd hour humanities class BELOW: The cheerleaders reflect the excitement felt by all the Park Falls fans in the wrestling match with Lakeland. DOING THINGS WITH PEOPLE MIDDLE LEFT: Sleeping or reading? Only Ann really knows. ABOVE: Members of the student council take an active part in the prepara- tions for Winter Carnival which they sponsor every year. BOTTOM: The student body shows their supporting spirit by attending and participating in the pep assemblies.

They receive their on-the-job training in the school forests located on highways 13 and 182. Another class offered to seniors is Business Law, pictured on the divider page for Faculty and Academics. This course is taught by Ms. Davern. Some of the subjects studied are insur- ance, employment, contracts, property, and our legal system. This course helps prepare the students to deal with the com- mon legal problems they will encounter during their lifetime. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS ARE: Tracy Lobermeier. treasurer: Sue Hart- way. secretary; Ted Prickril. president; and Joe Tomczak. vice-president. 20 FOR SENIORS ONLY The capstone girls are caught taking their daily coffee break. Shown above are seniors Randy Falstad and Kim Lemke as they learn the basics of sewing in Bachelor Living. The secretarial Capstone course is an office simulation class. Mrs. Graf is the teacher of this two-period class. While in the classroom, the girls study correct telephone proce- dures, modern duplicating methods, filing, personal data sheets, and letters of application. Bachelor Living is offered to senior boys only. It is a one- semester course taught by Miss Auger. This course prepares the senior boys for when they are out on their own. Some of the things they learn throughout the semester are the basics of cooking and meal preparation, as well as sewing and the proper care of clothing.

OPPOSITE: Mr Kittock is caught admiring his gift from Fran Tarkenton? For further information, see the copy on page 39!!! 38 ABOVE: One of the school policies is to have a pass to go to the library. Mrs. Musso is giving Carolyn Koshak a pass during third hour study hall BELOW: Mr Anderson and the Concert Choir held their Christmas concert in St. Anthony's Church. A personal thank you should go to Father Froelich for his help in making it a success. ABOVE: Mr Swanson, teacher of Small Engines and Machine-Woods, explains the correct procedure to follow to two of his students. The busiest people in the school are the teachers. Many have up to six classes a day, with one prep period. Along with their classes, many advise organizations and sports. Therefore, a teacher’s day never ends at 3:09. But along with all of their work, there are a lot of good times. One example is below. Mr. Kittock was such a loyal fan of the Minnesota Vikings and Fran Tarkenton that he received the per- sonal cowboy boots and a letter from Fran, himself. Unfortunately, the actual sender of this valuable” package can’t be found in the west, as in Minnesota, but to the east, as in the school library. 39 ABOVE: Mr. Swalve and Ollie Seidl discuss a topic of mutual interest. WORKING AND LEARNING TOGETHER........ LEFT: Mr. Frederick stops to flash a smile. ABOVE: Mr Anderson takes a breather. 40 Mr. Swalve is the Vocational Edu- cational Coordinator for five schools: Park Falls, Phillips, Prentice, Rib Lake, and Butternut. He organizes the Capstone Secretarial and Metals Fabrication classes for these schools. Because of his work, these classes meet all the federal qualifications for government funding, and the stu- dents have a better program from which to learn. Marriage and Family Living, taught by Mr. Busby, is a one- semester course offered only to seniors. A mock marriage was held with Mr. Kittock and Mr. Pirrotta officiating. After the ceremony, everyone enjoyed cake and punch. ABOVE LEFT: Mr Burant and Sandy Claussen. a library aid. organize the new shipment of books.

PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENE Although the students rarely hear much about our school board, it is a very important and vital part of our school. The board consists of a number of men and women elected by our community along with two student council members. This year they are Ron Hilgart and Linda Peterson. At these meetings, they discuss the school budget, school funding, and financial status of the school. Mr. Frokjer, our Superintendent of Schools, is in charge of seeing to it that our school is run most efficiently. He also is a member of the school board. Shirley Erickson, secretary to Mr. Frokjer, along with Loretta Jehn, bookkeeper, are also located in the Superintendent’s Office. Mrs. Heisler, secretary to the princi- pal, has numerous jobs including taking care of make-up slips, re- cording student grades, absentees, and the business end of the princi- pal’s job.

These men and women not only transport stu- dents to and from school, but also take students on extra-curricular activities such as sports, music and organization functions. The cooks in our school, although not often told, are really appreciated by the faculty and students. Not only do they prepare well-balanced lunches, but they also prepare delicious breakfasts. Our custodians are kept very busy in our school either cleaning up after wrestling matches, volleyball, and basketball games, or putting long hours in keeping the whole school clean and replacing broken equip- ment.

Coach Pirotta is hopeful that this young track team will achieve a 500 or better season next year. Coach has put his hope on Dave Pritzl and Bill Dirrigle in the shot put and discus, Glen Gessert in the long jump, Roger Thibedeau and Alan Schultz in the mile and two mile. The team hopes that with the freshmen coming up, they will be able to be competitive in the events that the Cards were lacking in this year. The Cardinal track fans can look forward to a fine track performance next year. Coach Pirotta and the rest of the track team feel that having a full year of competition under their belt, they could end up with a high conference standing and maybe even the title.

ABOVE: Bill Daubner rounds third base and heads for the showers after another home-run. Although this year’s season was not the greatest for the Cardinal baseball team, it had its high points with the Cards winning five con- ference games, the most games (con- ference) won by a Cardinal team in recent years. The team compiled an eight and eleven overall standing. Coach Armstrong feels that the success the team experienced was due to the leadership provided by Tom Washatka, Dale Kennedy, and Bill Daubner. Dale Kennedy was one of the team’s biggest standouts. Dale broke his own record to set a new Cardi- nal record of fifty stolen bases and was also elected as an all-conference center fielder. Dale was the only Cardinal baseball player ever to be given the all-conference honor. The team will be losing most of its starting lineup and will be in the rebuilding stage for the next few years. Coach Armstrong has great ex- pectations for the talent that is being developed in the Park Falls baseball circuit. With the further development of these activities, the Cardinals are looking forward to a conference power in the forthcoming years. • ■■ ABOVE: Dale Kennedy, go home, go directly home, collect a run for the Cardinals.

CARDINAL GOLFERS PROVE THEY’RE UP TO PAR The Cardinal golf team, under the coaching of Mr. Kadlecek, turned in a very fine performance this year. The team held both its home meets and practices at the Park Falls Country Club’s nine-hole course. The golf team had three returning members: Craig Kuehl, the team’s only senior, and juniors Ron Kundinger and John Hecimovich. The experience that these boys obtained was transferred to the fine team performance this year. The golf team had 15 tournaments. Sometimes the team was faced with two or even three tournaments a week. Dick Rebne, a freshman, and the team’s smallest member, was the spark that kept the team winning. He faced every tournament with the idea that the meet at hand was the most impor- tant. Coach Kadlecek feels that with the loss of only one person, the Cardinal golf team will be up at the top of the confer- ence standings next year. He feels this way because out of all the conference tournaments held during the season, the team beat all but two conference teams at least once and those teams were Ashland and Medford.

Coached by Mr. Swenson and Mr. Lilyquist, the JV wrestling squad followed in the footsteps of the var- sity squad to sweep the conference race and come up with a record that was undefeated. The team had two leaders that lettered. In order for these boys to letter they have to win at least five varsity matches. Both Jeff Treml and Tim Greenwood shifted back and forth between the varsity and JV teams. The team’s season was the best in Cardinal history and both Coach Swenson and Coach Lilyquist are proud to have been able to have coached this fine team of young men. Coach Swenson feels that in the next year or so this JV conference winning team will be repeating this year’s act, but on a varsity level.

The team won both the Rice Lake Invita- tional and the Conference Tourna- ment. Ron Hilgart had the best season record of his career with a thirty- one and two record and taking third place in the Wisconsin State wrestling meet. He was awarded the State Headhunters Award. Doug Noetzel ended up his season this year with the most pins of any- one on the team with a total of twenty-four pins, one short of state headhunter honors. Doug finished his season with a twenty-nine and four record. Some of the honors Doug received were: the Cardinal Headhunter Award, Conference Champ, Regional Champ, State Meet Entry and fifth place state finishes. One of his more unusual matches was with a wrestler from Medford. The referee blew his whistle, they came in contact once, broke apart, and Dougs opponent fell down, and had to be helped from the floor, which meant us winning the con- ference title. The wrestling team will lose its main attacking force, but Coach Swenson feels that with the great job done by the JV, next year the Cards should remain a conference power to be reckoned with. The wrestling fans can, therefore, look forward to another great wrestling season. 53 THE FRESHMEN MEET THE GRIDIRON The freshman football team consisted of approximately twenty-five players. Their coaches, Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Frederick, put in a lot of time showing them new plays, moves, patterns, and techniques to help them along with their first year in football. This would prepare them for both JV and varsity teams in the three years to come. One way to test their skills was to practice with the JV team. In this way, they could find their weak points and correct them before the game. Their games were usually held on Tuesday nights at 6:30.

The hopes of future conference crowns and high conference standings rest on the shoulders of this year’s JV members. At times, the JV and varsity teams would practice together in order to create a game-like atmosphere. Numerous plays and moves were intro- duced and discussed along with diffe- rent patterns and techniques. The JV team this year had the largest group of interested students ever. This in itself says something for the future of Cardinal spirit and loyalty. The JV team for next year will be the future in Cardinal football.

The team featured some exciting wins. Coach Pirotta was very proud of this year’s team. There were over thirty guys who came out for the sport. Coach feels that for the size of the school, Lincoln can boast of its interest in sports louder than any conference team. The senior interest in football for the last three years has grown at an enormous rate. When Coach Pirotta came to Lincoln, there were only six seniors out for the sport. During his second year, interest in the sport spread so that there were nine seniors out for the sport, and this year sixteen were out for football.

The Cardinal team was gifted with both speed and height in people like Tom Arm- strong, Dave Greenwood, Curtis Sheldon, and Dan Detko. Coach Sarver was very pleased at the overall per- formance of the team, and feels that with one year of playing behind them, they will improve vastly as they move up to the junior varsity team next year. The team is the hope of the Cardinals for the future years. Staying together as a unit and a team will allow this year’s freshman team to be conference champs when they are varsity members.

One of the team’s strongest points was its defensive ability. The JV played every Friday night before the varsity games. The JV developed greatly throughout the season. The team picked up pointers when they were given the chance to scrimmage the varsity. Both Coach Burant and Coach Szelagowski feel that the JV team will be a big asset to next year’s varsity team.

The team con- sisted of eight seniors and four juniors, who had to put a lot of extra work in to get as far as they did. The Cardinals were coached by Mr. Szelagowski in his second year as head coach, who did a fine job in getting the team on the winning track. Starters for the year were Scot Striegel, Wayne Daubner, Dan Herbst, Jon LaBlanc, and Glen Ges- sert. Many times Coach Szelagowski put people in off the bench to give these people some playing exper- ience also. The conference race this year was unbelievable. In past years the con- ference was dominated from the be- ginning to the end of the season by one powerhouse. It was not true this year, as four teams were tied for the conference lead. The Card- inals stayed in the conference race right up to the last game of the season, when Lakeland beat the Cards by three points and won the conference title.

Glenda Graf had the most team points this year with 215, followed by Robin Lemke with 189 and Nancy Zipperer with 142. The most firsts were Robin Lemke with three, fol- lowed by Glenda Graf, Nancy Zip- perer and Jodi Owen with two. Robin Lemke had eight seconds and Glenda Graf had four seconds and ten thirds. Robin Lemke was in the top ten at regionals and she went on to sectionals. This was Robin’s third year at sectionals in vaulting. Mrs. Frokjer was very pleased with her girls this year.

Practices were held everyday after school from 3:20 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. Mrs. Cindy Greenwood coached both JV and varsity teams. The varsity team consisted of three seniors, six juniors, and one sopho- more. There will be a lot of girls returning to the team next year. Competitive volleyball had a new look this year. A freshman team was added to the athletic program. The team consisted of eleven girls, who proved to be fine athletes.

Long hours were spent as a group and by individuals. The staff ran into a lot of un- expected problems but managed to get by them as best they could. Despite these problems, there was some fun involved. A car wash was sponsored to raise money, and it turned out to be a lot of fun. Mr. Busby continued as advisor this year putting in a lot of time helping to produce a Torch to be proud of. The senior editor was Dena Sheedy and junior editor was Mary Phillips.

They help to organize Homecoming, Winter Carnival, and take care of the pop machine in the school lobby. These are just a few of their duties. Each year the members try to pre- sent the opinions of the student body to the teachers and board of education. They also try to provide for the students’ entertainment by setting up the assem- bly programs. RIGHT: This year s officers were Ron Hilgart. President; Joanne Gottwald. Secretary-Treasur- er; and Jerry Wocelka. Vice-President. 74 STUDENT LOYALTY The purpose of the Pep Club is to help arouse school spirit by making posters for the up- coming athletic activities. They make posters for basketball, wrestling, football, etc., on the night before the events. There may not be many members, but those that are in it are very loyal. Officers were: Jeannie Schrader, president, and Agnes Kanikula, vice-president. ABOVE: This year s members of the Pep Club wanted an unusual picture, and they got it. Pep Club members are.

The club meets every other week and has been in existence for 14 years as a Home Ec. Club and three more years as a F.H.A. affiliated club. The club sponsors after-school sales, flea markets, and activities to help the community. The members also take trips to cultural enter- tainment shows and tours in Minneapolis and Duluth.

Jill The Lincoln High School Senior Band participates in field and parade marching competition during the summer and early part of the school year. Ms. Sara Beeler also lends a hand in the marching band by working with the field show and color guard. The band provides the half-time entertainment at football games during the fall. The band has often been complimented for its precision and flare in both field shows and parades. The band brought home a first place trophy from the Medford parade competition, and also from the field and parade competition held in Bloomer, Wisconsin. This year the band will be fortunate enough to purchase all new uniforms, which will really give them an added touch of excellence when marching. One of the big events in the near future for the marching band is their trip in October to play at half-time for a Green Bay Packer football game. The band is already working on the field show, and it should be a real dazzler. After marching band is over, the band concentrates on music for concerts and the annual music festival. The concert band performs a number of concert performances throughout the year. These include a Spring Concert, Pop Concerts, and Christmas Concert. These are open to the community and the local people are urged to attend. The members of the band really appreciate the attendance of the public. Concert band takes up most of the year and requires lots of hard work but it does pay off as our Senior Band shows in its performances. An important event for the members of the concert is the annual Solo and Ensemble Contest. The members of the band can enter such categories as: instrument solos, duets, trios, and other small ensembles. Participants receiving first place ratings go on to state competition. A lot of work goes into these performances but the work pays off. Mr. Nordall puts in long hours of work with the band and should be commended for his hard work and the progress he has made in making Park Falls one of the best bands around. 76 Johnson.

Besides the regular concert band at Lincoln High, there is the pep band, stage band, and marching band. The pep band provides enter- tainment at half-time and in between J.V. and Varsity games at basketball games and wrestling matches. The stage band or jazz band plays a variety of music from the Oldies but Goodies to the hits of today. They attend band competitions toward the end of the year and com- pete with other jazz bands through- out the state. They also participate in their own concerts. Our Senior Marching Band is one of the finest in the state and has taken many awards during the year.

SINGING PROVIDES ENTERTAINMENT. Madrigals, consisting of all quali- fied Concert Choir students, once again had a successful school year. They held an early 17th century Elizabethan-style dinner before Christmas. It was a great success, and Madrigals are planning to do something on the same order again next year. They sang a selection called Spring Returns” by Marenzio, class A. Their hard work paid ofT, as their perform- ance was well appreciated. ABOVE: Through the patience and dedication of Mr. Anderson, the 1975-76 Choir had a very successful year.

Under the direction of Mr. Anderson, the LHS Concert Choir has successfully completed another year. Choir is much more than just singing. Music history, improvement of tone, and advanced sight reading are among their everyday activi- ties. Voice, rhythm and sight reading tests determine grades as well as overall attitude. Throughout the year, three major concerts were presented: the Fall, Christmas held at St. Anthony’s Church, and the Easter held at Peace Lutheran Church. The audience was packed to the limit each time. While on tour May 11 - 16, the choir per- formed at various places in Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri. During the course of one week, the choir sang at six different cities doing 12 to 14 songs at each performance. LHS can be proud of the excellent work they have done.

The theme of the play was seeking revenge for the innocent victims of the Salem witch trials. The members put in a lot of time on it, and it paid off, as it was a success. During the year, the members of the club learned the basic skills of acting, and other things such as the correct way to apply makeup and quick dressing techniques for the stage. The people that do not take part as actors or actresses do a lot of work behind the scenes that can make the difference between a well organized play and one that is not.

Jean Peterson, Dena Sheedy, Sally Peterson It seems the editor-in-chief always gets the credit or the blame for the yearbook. Few people realize how much cooperation is needed to produce such a book. I would like to say a special thanks to my staff this year, because this book is the effort of a few people who worked very hard. I would also like to express my gratitude to Mr. Busby for listening to our ideas and giving us so much assistance. A very special thanks goes to MacGregor Litho for their patience. A yearbook should be, above all, a memory book for the students. I sincerely hope that the 1976 Torch serves this purpose, reminding everyone of the fun, the work, and the excitement of the 1975-76 school year at Lincoln.
