DRAGONS '71 Adrian Public High School Adrian, Minnesota Volume XVI rn 5 In tribute to Douglas L. Honnerman Scott T. Wieneke The Adrian High School Annual staff wishes to pay tribute to two young men who lost their lives in a fatal car accident in April of this year. Their deaths were not only a loss to their families and com- munities, but also to their many friends. In their short lives, both contributed meaning to the lives of others. Doug and Scott will always live in the minds of their families and friends; the memories they gave us will always be cher- ished. In memory of Douglas Lee Honnerman and Scott Thomas Wieneke, we dedicate the 1970-71 Annual ms m s x � v V LV JV wxmm®- ' 7 r 3g «MK?, y v o.T? . s5 ' x s: «8sB 5« tt -� . 255 -■. “ ?

Despite injuries to one of our major players, the quarter- back, the mighty Dragons rolled into second place. The hard working and spirited Dragon team, faced with a 6-1 conference record, proved their ability as fine athletes by winning. One of their toughest battles was the battle for the number one position in the conference. The Dragons chal- lenged their skill and roughness against that of the H. B. C. Patriots. Special recognition should go to the entire team and their coaches for their great sportmanship and team work during the 1970-71 season. FRONT ROW: M. Winter, R. Reisdorfer, B. Kun- kel, R.

Dragon victories added up to being number two A promising season for the Dragon Cagers was more than fulfilled when the Dragons raced to second place on the conference, early in the season. The cagers proved their athletic ability by remaining on top for the entire season. With the enthusiasm and skill attained through practices, the cagers were able to defeat all of the teams in Tri-County Conference except one. Chalking up game after game, the Dragons finished their season with a 10-4 conference record. Coached by Eldon Bergman, the Dragon cagers moved the spirit and drive in the effort to attain a victory. The mighty B team, coached by Bert Plucker, proved to be one of the most promising basketball teams in the area. This year the Dragons will be losing 10 out- standing athletes on the team. Gary Wick, one of them was named All Conference Team. BELOW, Kenny Krogman goes high for a rebound. With a little bit of luck she'll go in! exclaims Rick as he chalks up two points. FRONT ROW: C.

The Dragon Grapplers 1970-71 wrestling season proved to be exceptionally victorious. The Dragon wrestlers maintained a key position in both confer- ence and non-conference standings. The mighty Dragons placed first in the Tri-County Conference with a 6-0 record which was outstanding. Defeating everyone in conference, their skill proved just as victorious in non-conference with their season rec- ord of 10-2. This year the Dragons hosted the Ann- ual Tri-County Conference which was held Feb. 13. The Dragons were chosen number one in the seatings but tables were turned when the H.B. C. Patriots fought desperatly for the title, and gained it. The Dragons placed five boys in the District, but unfor- tunately none went on to the Regionals. The five boys who placed in District were Bob Gilb, Bob Wolf, Daryl Wolf, Mike Burkard, and Dean Buller- man. Special recognition should go to the B team who stood out as one of the most promising group of wrestlers, and also to the coaches whose energy and instruction acted as the blueprint to a very successful squad. Next year the wrestling squad will lose four very outstanding seniors; Bob Gilb, Bob Wolf, Tom Erlandson, and Mark McKeown. n, Pat Loosbrock, Dean Bullerpian, Bob Gilb,. Daryl Wolf, .

Play Ball! The Adrian High School Dragon baseball players did a great job of displaying true sports- manship and enthusiasm throughout the season. Even though they didn't seem to be winning every game, they expressed their spirit by swinging into the season, and showing that they had the ability. Coached by E. Bergman, the Dragons proved that they had all of the poten- tial to win their games. Working and playing in the oddest of spring weather, the Dragons pushed their way to the top. Hitting and mis- sing, catching and throwing, the Dragon team moved out to be one of the most promising teams in the area. Dragon cheerleaders spark A.H.S. with spirit Throughout the 1970-71 season the Dragon cheerleaders displayed true pep and enthusiasm. Not only did they rouse spirit in the students and faculty, but fans from two to ninety-two cheered along. With the baching of their advisor Mr. Ron Linder, some of the new and invigorat- ing cheers helped in adding the spirit to the school. The A team cheerleaders who lead the roar of spirit during the varsity football and basketball games, shown BELOW, were Marcia Brunk, Connie Mueller, Mary Eick- hoff, Mary Klein, Audrey Wick, and Cheryl Klooster. The B-team cheerleaders are shown at TOP RIGHT: Donna Scheidt, Bev Klein, Nadine Schissel, Kathy Mc- Carthy, Pat Schutz, and Colleen McKeown. Mr. Lindner is shown at RIGHT as he directs Mary.

The AHS Tracksters did a fine job of doing their thing at the Dragon Relays, District and at the Trojan Relays in Worthington. They had two of their boys going on to the regionals from the district and both were seniors. The mighty Dragon track team did their best to out do all of the other schools in this area. They proved that they had what it takes to run, jump and throw better than many of their competitors. Coached by that fast J. Stenke, the Dragons proved that they were the fastest Dragons around. A.H.S. girls work play their way to the top. The AHS girls who participated in sports this year found that it wasn't all fun and games. Among the sports that the girls could take part in were track, softball, volleyball, and basketball. Many of the girls found out that there was a lot behind making a good team. Not always win- ning and achieving their goals, they fought to do the best that they could. One of the most active groups of fem- inine athletes was the members of the girls' track team. This was the second year that AHS had a gals track team and it proved to be quite a success. This year AHS started a Jr. High team and these young girls were quite successful in the season. Many of the girls also participated in GAA sports such as the volleyball tourney at Luverne. They also took part in the three basketball games witht Pipestone and Ellsworth, while the track team traveled to one tri- angular at Ellsworth and one in Adrian, placing second in both. Little Dragons poor on the power The Junior high football season proved to be as suc- cessful as the senior high. The little Dragons poured on the spirit and charged up to a 3-2 conference re- cord. Coached by Mr. Jim Carr the Dragons B team football players proved that despite their age and size they had the ability to win. Working hard and driving on through the lines the mighty Dragons won the majority of their games. Drive, desire and de- termination were the three D's that moved the big Dragons to top their season.

Moving the spirit of the sport, the little Drag- ons pushed their way to the top of the seatings. Facing some of the toughest competition in the area, they defeated nearly every team in the conference. The freshman team was prepared for every competitor, many of them very tough, but they lacked the exper- ience needed to win. Despite the veiws of the score boards, the fresh- men won in many other ways. These boys are a very promising group of athletes. The 8tn graders won the Round Lake Tourney with little effort at all, it seemed. They were also runners-up in the Tri-County Tourney. Chalking up victory after victory, these mighty little Dragons brought back with them another trophy for A.H. S. 's collection. Bob Lien won the free throw with 19 out of 25.

The poster entitled Give Em the Ax. done by the seniors, won first prize. The celebration began in earnest with the corona- tion of the royalty, followed by the skit competi- tion. The seniors' skit entitled The Tri-County Beauty Contest or the Good, the Bad, and the Ug- lies put them in first place. Then all went outside for the blistering bonfire and a confusing snake dance. The following night brought a fantastic victory for the Dragons when they defeated the Chandler Eagles 30 to 6. AT RIGHT is truimphanting Dragons carrying off a fallen Eagle.

For weeks beforehand, it's a time of ex- pectancy; boys gathering courage to ask for a date, girls discussing hair-dos and formats, juniors worrying about the theme and decorations. And work! Juniors spend long, hard evenings with crepe paper and hammers and spray paint. Hope and fear mount as the big social event draws near, ( What will it be like? from the seniors and Will Program Me Greeting Ron Jansen Response Paul Kunkel Ptayer Karla Heffele Musical Selections Marge Watry and Barb Riesselman Prophecy Audrey Wick Will Paul Kunkel they like it? from the juniors). Finally the long-awaited evening of May seventh arrives with a flurry of flowers, lace, hair spray, and happiness. First comes the dinner, topped by the reading of the will and prophecy. This is followed by a migration to the East Elementary auditorium. Now the weeks of planning and work on the part of the Junior class pay off. Red and black are the colors, with red roses on the walls, tables, and doors. The elaborate punchbowl, silver chandeliers, fountain, rose-covered walls,--all is beautiful. The rest of the evening passes quickly, as cameras flash constantly and couples dance to the great music of The Ride. Later, some go to the Drive-In in Luverne and watch Dirty Dingus MacGee and Tick, Tick, Tick. However, they spend their evening, members of the Jun- ior and Senior Class alike look back on the evening of May 7, and the weeks of preparation that went before, and think, It all went so fast ... Take my arms that I might reach you. Hear my words that I might teach you! 37 If A Man Answers Can a wife teach her husband to be perfect by using a dog training manual? According to the fall comedy presentation, If A Man Answers, she can,-at least until he finds out about it. The trouble began with Chantal Stacy's split per sonality, which was a result of the fact that her mother was a Parisian dancer and her father was a proper Bostonian. When she married fashion pho- tographer Gene Wright her mother handed her a dog training manual along with other tricks to keep her marriage happy. But Chantal's father and Gene had some tricks of their own. The hard work of the cast, crews, and director Dennis Tonsager, was evident as the play was presented to large, appreciative audiences at each performance.

March 20, 1971, saw six Adrian students making the trip to Southwest Minnesota State College to compete in the Regional Science Fair. Those exhibiting projects in the junior high division were Bernard Cook, Donald Taylor, Susan Van Horsen, and Joan Oertli. Becky Riesselman and Patricia Thiel were the senior high exhibitors. In the school science fair earlier, Don and Joan had been named Biology Medalists. Susan had received a medal for her project in the Physical Sciences Division. Bernard has been named Over-All Medalist. Many other junior high exhibitors also placed highly in the local science fair. Adrian competitors at Marshall were very successfull. Bernard's project, Servo-Control System, earned a pur- ple ribbon and the right to compete in the State Science Fair in Minneapolis, April 1, 2, and 3. Becky, exhibit- ing a project entitled Molecular Weight Determination of Simple Polymers, and Pat, with Effects of Shearing on the Brucellosis Antibody, won the only two blue rib- bons given in the Senior High Division. Pat also was awarded a $300 Science Scholarship to Marshall College. Becky was named as alternate. Don won a blue ribbon for the project Nature Can Create Color. Joan and Susan received red ribbons.

Open house attracts interested viewers Many of AHS's talented students had the opportunity to display their work to the community at the annual In- dustrial Art, Home Economics, and Art Show. Ribbons were given to those Industrial Arts students whose work in wood, leather, and metal was worthy of recognition. Jim Winter, a sophomore, was awarded the Golden Hammer Award for his work in Industrial Arts. The sewing talents of many of our school's girls were displayed by the Home Economics Division. Wearing apparel of all kinds attracted interested viewers. One of the main attractions of the evening was the art exhibit. The paintings, pottery, and sculptures of the Art students were enjoyed throughout the night. The combination of these three departments in the Open House was a fine example of the talents of AHS students. Something light . . . did you see that! . . .

To start the year off right some of the annual officers, Margie Hohn, Jackie Pieterick, and Pat Thiel attended the annual American Year- book convention. While there they were introduced to new tactics in editing and publishing a yearbook. In the spring the entire staff joined in selling safety flares. This year has been very enjoyable be- cause we were able to put our energy to work in a constructive sort of way. 50 FRONT ROW: Marcie Diekmann , Nancy Anker , Monica Fienhage , Mrs. Nunes (Advisor).

Journalism was one of the new courses offered this year. Among other things, the class studied the history of jour- nalism, the writing and publication of newspapers and yearbooks, and photography. Journalism students gained much prac- tical experience in this field by taking over publication of DRAGON TALES, the school newspaper. The staff was also given space in each edition of the NOBLES COUNTY REVIEW to publish school news. They took regular surveys to inform the people of the community about student opinions regarding such issues as abortion, population control, and the space program. A special room on the first floor of the old building was set aside in which the journalism class worked on their newspaper.

The Lettermen's Club was active throughout the year raising money so any interested basketball players could go to State Tourna- ment in Minneapolis. One of the most suc- cessful money-raising projects was a cam- paign to sell T-shirts. The Adrian Chamber of Commerce showed the community's ap- preciation of the AHS Lettermen by sponsor- ing a banquet in their honor on April 1.

Under the guidance of its able adviser, Miss Donna Pilcher, it sponsored a student-faculty basketball game and several bake sales in an effort to raise money. It took part in the state-wide Project Understanding, an exchange program designed to give students a better understanding of other schools. Five representatives from Austin (shown below, seated, with their hostesses, standing), and five represen- tatives from Adrian exchanged positions for two days. The five Adrian students were Pam Vortherms, Peggy DeBates, Patricia Hensen, Barb Spencer, and Diane Erlandson. On May 11 the entire club took a trip to O'Gorman High School in Sioux Falls to observe modular scheduling. The club also sponsored two $50 scholarships which were awarded to two of its outstanding seniors, Pat Hensen and Peggy Scheidt. Throughout the year, individual mem- bers worked with teachers as aides to gain a more thorough insight into teaching. For the FTA members, it was a busy and productive year.

BELOW: Elaine Wieneke's outstanding performances in the high jump, shown here, earned her first-place honors at several track meets. Throughout the year, members of the Girls Athletic Association worked hard training for such sports as basketball, softball, track and field, gym- nastics, and volleyball. Their effort and ability proved to be a winning combination in basketball, softball, and volleyball games and in track meets. Adrian was well represented by its Girls Athletic Association in these events. 55 Students test skills in intramural competition. The 1971 Declam Team, coached by Mr. Tom Konkel, achieved high honors in many of the contests they entered. At the Luverne Invitational, Karla Heffele received a second-place blue ribbon; Vickie Kopplow and Marie Yackel placed third in their divisions. At the Worthington Invitational, blue ribbons went to Peggy Scheidt, Pam Martin, and Alan Lewis. At the East Subdistrict Speech Contest, Marie Yackel received an A rating and went on to the District Meet. Luann Beeck's and Rosanne Loosbrock's speeches also merited A- (alternate) ratings at the Subdistrict Meet.

The band works, pol- ishes and perfects only to please their audience. The Adrian High School Band, under the able direction of Mr. Craig Johnson, was kept busy all during the year with many hours of practice and hard work. They went to various towns for parades and concerts, trips that took them to Vermillion, Orange City, Iona, Luverne, and Worthington. They also gave fine showings at all sport- ing events. All this, combined with the star-rating which they earned at the Tri-County Band Festival, made everyone proud of the Adrian High School Band.

The Dragonettes were under the direction of Mr. Craig Johnson, and Mr. Ron Lindner, with Ruth Krogman as student manager. All year long they spent hours in practice, pre- paring routines for songs such as Theme From Tommy , and Feeling Groovy . There is no doubt about that. The dragonettes gave a fine showing all during the year, no matter where they went. Whether it was in a parade marching for the enjoyment of the crowd, or marching dur- ing halftime at a ball- game, they were always enjoyed by everyone, and they always received many compliments for a job well done. A.H.S. is proud of their 1970-1971 Adrian Dragonette Drill Team!

The computer—science's newest brainchild— came to Adrian in March of 1971, when a ter- minal of the Honeywell computer in the Twin Cities was installed. Both teachers and students took an active interest in the machine. The computer was used by many classes, but was used most extensively by Mr. Reisdorfer and his Math classes. In another area of Science, the Physiology and Anatomy Class took a trip to the Mayo Clinic at Rochester on April 15-16 to further their know- ledge in that field.

A new course, Journalism, was added to the curriculum in 1970. Taught by Mrs. Nunes, the class was designed to acquaint students with the techniques used in writing and publishing newspapers and books. Mrs. Hale and Mr. Konkel, two new teachers at Adrian this year, took a bus load of students to see a play at the Guthrie Theater in November, 1970. A PLAY, by Nobel Prize-winner Alexander Solzhenitsyn, was a fas- cinating educational experience for all who saw it.
