Administration And Office Staff 42 teachers Adrian High School is more than just a building; it consists of the students, faculty, administration, cooks, and custodians. Together we make the school what it is. Let us now with earnest hearts and with exalted faith and hope solemnly consecrate this building to its high and holy purpose. May the youth of this community for generations to come gather in this place to receive instruction in knowledge and training in virtue. May they find here every condition necessary to a true and enlightened educa- tion. Especially, may their teachers be examples of excellence in scholarship and character, seekers after goodness and truth, lovers of children, enthusiasts and adepts in the finest of all arts, the development and inspiration of hu- man souls. May these rooms always be pervaded with an invigorating atmosphere of mental and moral life, and may no child pass from these schools to higher grades or to the outer world without having been made more intelli- gent, more thoughtful, more courageous, more virtuous, and in every way more capable of wise and just, of useful and noble living. To this end, may the blessing of God be upon child and parent, upon pupil and teacher, upon principal and superintendent, and upon everyone whose influence will in any degree affect the work of education as it shall be conducted within these walls. -Scott- 1 2 3 1) Richard Remme — Machine Wood-Working, Metals 1 and II, Fiberglass, Furniture and Cabinet Making 2) Barbara Prickett — Art 7 and 8, Clay and Sculpturing, Fibers, Painting, Advanced Art 3) Jeff Kem — Machine Wood- Working, Industrial Arts 7 and 8, Drawing and Wood- Working. 44 1) Kathy Knips — Home Edonomics 7,8, and 9 I and II 2) Barbara Monroe — Family Hous- ing, Foods I and II, Consumer Education, Family Living, Cloth- ing I and II, Child Care, Tailor- ing 3) Tim Christopherson — Junior and Senior Band 4) Ron Rother — Senior High Cho- rus, Music 7 and 8, Vocal Studies 7 and 8 TO A MUSIC TEACHER You cannot practice for her every day, The knowledge that you give her will not stream On her young mind in one bright, blind- ing ray, But you can plant a dream. Ah, you can plant a dream in her young heart, A dream of excellence whose light will gleam Upon her pathway as the years depart. Your words can plant a dream. To sow a dream and see it spread and grow, To light a lamp and watch its bright- ness gleam, Here is a gift that is divine, I know: To give a child a dream. -Anne Campbell 45 business English 1 2 3 4 1) Arthur Gust — Business Law I and II, Bookkeep- ing I and II, Advanced Bookkeeping I and II, Clerical Record Keeping 2) Nancy Galvin — Independent Business, Typing I and II, Beginning Shorthand, Advanced Typing, Office Procedure, Advanced Shorthand 3) Barbara Cook — Language Arts 7, Drama, Communic a tions 4) Barbara Fosheim — Basic Composition, Mytho- logy , American Literature, Science Fiction, British Literature, Contemporary Literature.

Each year the faculty rates students who have met the necessary scholarship qualification-a 3.0 cumulative gradepoint average-in the categories of service, lead- ership, and character. On May 15, the Nationa; Honor Society held their an- nual induction ceremony. The honorary sophomore members received membership cards. The juniors and seniors also received pins.

S.A.S. The Student Action for Education group, directed by Mrs. Krogman, is a group of students who have a free period in which they are willing to help a teacher as a student aide. They may help by correcting papers, running things off, typing work- sheets, and putting up bulletin boards. S.A.E. has bakesales during the year and sponsors record hops for the junior high to raise money for a scholarship to a senior S.A.E. mem- ber who they feel deserves it. The group also had a student exchange with Luveme. S3 “Zhe Phantom Strikes Again” The AHS Drama Class, directed by Ms. Cook and Ms. Fo- sheim, presented 1 'The Phantom Strikes Again'' on May 11 and 12. It was a real success, as many students, parents, and facility attended. The play was a 3-act comedy that kept the audience in suspense. The drama class worked long and hard to present the play, and it all seemed to pay off with the fine performance that was given. The cast included Mark Stoffel as Perriot Preston; Kathy Taylor as Gwen Talbot, his secretary; Bruce Loosbrock as the bodyguard Bruiser Barnes; Laura Oertli as Mrs. Beeman; Mary Vortherms as her daughter Maybelle; Kim Erickson as Mrs. Kite, the housekeeper; Mark Dorn as Wentworth, the butler; Gary Kellen as J. Winston Graham, the lawyer; and Alan Metz as The Phantom. 54 Student Council FIRST ROW: Katy Taylor 11 Kay Knips 10 Sharon Dorn 12 Diane Knips 12 Dan Konz 12 Cary Pieterick 12 Gary Kellen 12 SECOND ROW: Jean Lutmer 11 Sharon Taylor 11 Steve Loosbrock 9 Mr. Peiper Rick Loosbrock 7 Randy Eatherton 8 Pat Wolf 12 MISSING: Alice Wolf 9 Annette Schissel 10 This year the student body chose the following as representatives: Diane Knips for president, Dan Konz for vice president, and Sharon Dorn for secretary-treasurer.

The Model U. N. is an event in which students from schools throughout Minnesota be- come delegates to the United Nations. The purpose of the Model U.N. is to introduce high school and college students to the operation of the U.N. and is conducted by college students majoring in this area. Making up this year's del- egation from Adrian were Cheryl Engelkes, Wanda Koehne, Peggy Henning, and Bruce Loos- brock. They represented the United Kingdom at the U.N. In order to qualify for participation the students had to take a test over information about the U.N. Those scoring the highest marks were cho- sen to attend. After they were chosen, they se- lected their country, researched it, and acted as U.N. representatives. The preparation began in January by researching the Agenda Topics and learning the proper procedures, and continued until they left. 56 Anatomy And Physiology Zrip The Anatomy and Physiology class again held bake sales this year to finance their trip to Rochester. The students split into two groups and alternated Fridays to bring goodies to sell. The 13 Anatomy students, chaperoned by their teacher, Mr. Lindner, and Mrs. Lindner, de- parted from Adrian, May 10. They spent the first night at Assisi Heights. On May 11 and 12, they toured the medical museum, science buildings, the Mayo Clinic, the State Mental Hospital, and St. Mary's Hospital. The members of the Anatomy Class were: Sue Mauch, Jackie Hendel, Jean Guerts, Linda Wick, Donette Olson, Tammi Thier, Lori Gruis, Laura Nelson, Joan Reisdorfer, Marcella Stubbe, Jean Watry, Deb Bullerman, and Cheryl Kem. Health Occupations Zrip The Health Occupations students, their teacher, Mrs. Wegner, and two other chaperones departed for St. Paul April 4. Adrian students were: Sharon Taylor, Cheryl Kem, Peggy Erdman, Deb Becker, Marcella Stubbe, Jackie Hen- del, and Linda Wick. They toured St. Paul's Children's and Ramsey Hospitals and the Capitol Building. 57 Cooks-.

Missing: Steve Reuter. 61 A new coach and a lot of young players were what the Adrian Dragons had to offer this season. The Dragon's biggest problem was inexperience. A1 Altman saw his first year as quarterback. A1 proved to be a good leader on the field, one who could take charge. It took two non-conference losses to get the team warmed up for the season. Once hot, the team started bringing home victories. The Dragon's strong defense and an unstoppable offense resulted in a text-book-perfect game over Minneota. Adrian was all fired up and the win gave the team back its confidence. Jasper posed few problems for Adrian, as the defense played its most consistent game, putting pressure on the quarterback.

Second Row: Cary Pieterick, Ken Scheffler, Dale Knips, and Steve Lutmer. The Adrian Dragons continued as the winningest football team in Star Conference ranks with a muddy and motivated 12-6 Homecoming victory over the Patriots of Hills-Be aver Creek. 62 Adrian's defense flexed its muscles once again to get its first shut out of the season against the Flandreau Indians. The offense had to slog through the ' 'mudbowl' to get the winning touchdown. Adrian tried to come away with its fifth victory in a row when they went against the Fulda Raiders, but failed. The football game against Lakefield turned out to be another defeat for the Dragons. Adrian's four fumbles all re- sulted in touchdowns for Lakefield. In the last game of the season, the Dragons bid farewell to their op- ponents, the Tyler Danes, by defeating them 12-6 in a tense game at the Adrian field. The Dragons finished up third in the Star Confer- ence with a 4-2 record TEAM CAPTAINS: A1 Altman, Bruce Loosbrock, and Ken Scheffler — led their team through a good season. 63 7th And 8th (jrade football Coach: Mr. Cornell First row: (1-r) Jeff Vortherms, Steve Klooster, Ron Thier, Randy Eatherton, Curt Wieneke, Dan Lewis.

The girls had to work hard to build the team up to where it had been the last couple of years. This year the girls developed more skill in bumping, setting, and spiking than in past years.

The three senior members of the team were Gary Kellen, Jim Bauer, and Steve Heitkamp. It is not a race for the swift, Nor a battle for the strong, But it is for he who endures to the end.

THIRD ROW: Coach Mike Peiper, John Palas- chak, Tom Schutz, A1 Metz, Steve Heitkamp, Gary Kellen, and Jim Bauer. Cross-country: One person against another in one of man's most ancient forms of competition — distance racing. This is a tough sport. Only a runner can experience the thrill of improvement based upon his time'and competition. This year the AHS cross-country team got off to a slow start. They weren't running together as a team; the varsity was imcomplete; but, the team never gave up. Improvement became their goal, and improve they did. They - helped each other, pushed each other and most of all pulled together as a group of 18 people striving for one goal: To run their very best each time out. Each course is different in high school cross-country. The distance is supposed to be 3.0 miles. The actual distances may vary from course to course by as much as a couple of hundred yards. Each course is different in its degree of difficulty. Some are hilly and tough, others are flat and fast, so school records are kept by the fastest time on each particular course run by Adrian runners. The AHS course records broken this year in the varsity division include: Steve Heitkamp: Southwest Christian , Sioux Falls O'Gorman, Slayton, Pipestone , Hills, and the Devil's Hi-Way. Jim Bauer: Windom . The S.W.C. record was established during the running of the Tri-County Conference meet, not during the S.W.C. Invitational. Gary Kellen set the S.W.C. Invitational in 1976. Steve set the Pipestone course record during the District 8 meet on October 19. Steve broke the course record for the Pipestone Invitational run by four seconds, hich he also set. The Windom record was established by Jim during the running of the Region 11 meet on October 29, 1977. Jim's time, of 15:54, is the fastest honest three miles ever run by any Adrian performer. The fastest times set by Junior Varsity runners included: Myron Jonas: Southwest Christian Invitational, Worthing- ton, O'Gorman, Pipestone, Hills , and Devil's Hi-Way. Tom Schutz: Southwest Christian course-Tri-Country. The all time best 2.0 mile race ever by an Adrian Junior Varsity Runner is 11:06 by Myron Jonas on the Hills course.

The team pulled away from the Raiders in the second half with their more aggressive offense and defense. The Adrian girls suffered their second loss of the season when they went against Luveme. The team rallied too late as Lu- veme pulled it out in the final seconds to win 46-43. r The girls’ spirit was lifted when they cruised to victory over Chandler-Lake Wilson. Adrian came up short on points when they played against Southwest. The Dragons played well against a very agressive defense, but low shooting percentages at the field and free throw line created problems for the Adrian scoring drive. The girls' free throw shooting also proved to be a factor in their loss to Hills-Beaver Creek. The girls fired Magnolia off the field as they came up with a win. The Dragons got revenge when they beat Ellsworth 63-34. The girls brought Adrian home another win when they traveled to Edgerton. Adrian led throughout the game. The Dragons played one of their best games of the season against Hills by putting together a very aggressive defense and a well run offense. The girls fell to the Patriots, however, as Hills used a very tight press on the Dragon offense. Adrian scored a basket with 10 seconds remaining to take a 37-36 win over Round Lake. In the final game of the regular season, the Dragons lost to Fulda in the last minutes of the game. B-TEAM: FIRST ROW: Diane Springman, Alice Wolf, and Diane Kern.

Many students participated in athletics, music, and other activities, along with the daily routine of classes. In these pages we have attempted to accumulate some of the memories of those experiences. The preparation of a high school annual requires the help of many individuals. Our work began on September 13, when several annual staff members traveled to Worthington Community College to attend a yearbook seminar given by the Jostens Company. After new ideas were discussed, the development of 132 pages lay ahead of us. As editor, I would like to thank the following people for their contribution in taking and or developing pictures: Sharon Taylor, assistant editor, Mr. Gust, Laura Oertli, Katy Taylor, Gary Taylor, Pam Hendel, Renae Boots, and Penny Moerke. Other people who assisted in photography were: Curt Korkow, Lori Johanning, Ann Cox, Sharon Dom, Dan Konz, Jerry Brake, Mr. Doug Peterson, Mr. Ron Rother, Myhre's studio, and the Luveme Star Herald. I would also like to thank the office staff and the coaches for their willingness to provide us with information and statistics throughout the year. A special thanks goes to Jan Engelkes, who gave so much of her time to help in plan- ning pages; Mr. Gust for his time in taking and developing pictures; and Kim Erickson for all the typing she did. The 1977-78 annual, ' 'Our Year 1978'1, would not have been possible without you. The annual staff advisors were Mrs. Rose Rust and Mr. Art Gust. Editor 109 Jhtinstrial Arts Club The Industrial Arts Club, under the instruction of Mr. Remme and Mr. Kem, got underway in the fall. They met 3 times a month. They had what they call ' 'stu- dent nights'' and ' 'school nights''. They use two nights for the students and one night for the school. On student nights, the members build things they have the desire to make. Their school nights are spent making trophies, cabinets, and other items the school needs. They also repair the shop equipment. The officers are: Glen Lonneman, President; Mike Slater, Vice-President; Mark Slater, Secretary; and Darnell Christians, Treasurer.

To get the spirit rolling, the 1977 spirit buttons went on sale Sept. 12, 1977 Dragons are ruff, tuff, stuff. All week long everybody was getting ready for Homecoming. Each day there were certain events to keep the Spirit going and at the end of the week winners of each day were announced.

First graders Vicki Nath and Jade Honermann were the crown-bearers. Following the coronation, skits from each class were presented. Seniors got first place, seventh grade second, and the Juniors third. Each class worked all week to make a poster. The first place winner was the ninth grade, second place was a tie between the tenth grade and the Seniors, and third place went to the seventh grade. The Homecoming theme should have been Rain- drops Keep Falling On My Head , as it rained all day. The spirit run, the football game, and the dance were all postponed. The rain didn't wash away the mighty Dragon spirit, however. On Saturday, the cross-country runners showed their support by running the football 52,800 yards and ar- rived at the field around 7:20 to present Coach Ze- linko with the game ball. The Dragon football team clashed with the H-BC Patriots, defeating them 12-6. The Homecoming dance was Oct. 14, with music by Mainstreet. mL I czS vw 115 On Friday, February 10, the Val- entines Queen and Princess were chosen.

Industrial arts and home economics projects were displayed in the high school gym and art exhibits were in the lunch- room and library. The classes that were in the show under industrial arts were: 7th grade, 8th grade, drafting, wood- working, Metals I, Metals 11, fiberglassing, ma- chine woods, and furniture and cabinet making. These projects were judged by students from Mankato State University who are majoring in industrial arts. First, second, third, and fourth place ribbons were awarded. The Golden Ham- mer award went to a senior high student and a junior high student. Mark Slater and Alan Wien- eke tied for the senior high Golden Hammer award, and Lori Bullerman was the junior high recipient. Spring 118 Show Junior and senior high home economic students displayed projects they made throughout the year. These included: 8th grade pillows, 9th grade pants and shirts, Clothing I slacks and tops, Clothing II knit projects, tailoring suits or coats, housing view plans for ' 'dream'' homes, and novelty items such as stuffed animals, pil- lows, and crafts. The judges for home economics were home economic teachers from Luveme and Hills-Beaver Creek. Ribbons were given for first, second, third, and fourth places. The art classes exhibited paintings, creative stitchery, jewelry, clay, sculptures, and ma- crame. These exhibits were not judged because Mrs. Prickett believes ' 'the students all are tal- ented and all did good work.'' 119 The juniors, assisted by their advisors, Ms. Fosheim, Mrs. Krogman, and Mr. Cornell, worked hard to plan and deco- rate for Prom. Committees were selected to organize Prom, and meetings were held for ordering equipment and supplies. Decorating officially began April 16, and the last streamer was up by the evening of the 21st.

Commencement exercises continued with Ron Rother directing the senior song, These are the Best Times. I Kim gave the final speech, ' 'E reaming I of Being More.'' These are the best times, the moments we can't let slip away. Life's little game we play, living from day to day. But once in a lifetime a minute like this is ours to share. Remember these moments well, for moments like these are rare as dreams and golden rainbows, soft as nights when summer wind blows by. Together we laugh and cry, together we'll leam to fly. Come take my hand, together we'll cross the timeless sands, chasing the endless sun, our lives have just begun. These are the best times, best times. 127 128 We met as strangers, Grew as friends, Lived as brothers, Parted as one. ' TRANSITIONS This is my beginning. I am reluctant to embrace my future, But I am restless and un- fulfilled . There will be time, there will be time. Can't you see it? God's greatest gift was time, Time to grow and to learn. My life is worth living, My love worth sharing, My dreams worth dreaming. I can live and I can dream. I can be somebody. There will be time, there will be time. -KIM ERICKSON 129 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) ' 'You put your hand in and let me know.'' Another exciting evening on the mats. 1 ’Let's see ...
