Will the real Butt sister stand up? 3 5 We remember products from their trademarks. Advertisers sing catchy jingles and draw eye-appealing designs to glue their merchandise in our memory. A CUBETTE attempts to fix a year in our memory. The fingerprint of the year is carefully examined; the fine lines and curves merge into catchy sentences and eye-appealing camera shots. These are the trademarks coaxed into a year- book. Life’s trademarks result from people. As years fade and fate divides us, we tend to remember the special moments and habits of life and our friends. With each person we associate a certain style, a unique quality, a form of love. Elephant jokes are synonymous with Scott Heiman, for instance, and who can picture Duane Ryken without his mustache! These are trademarks that separate them from the crowd. These are trademarks that separate years and give each one a distinctive meaning. Homecoming Uncorks “Time in a Bottle” Years poured across the stage as Time In A Bottle” flowed from the piano. The spotlight shifted and re- vealed homecoming candidates Frances Reppe and Jeff Wilson, Kay Hendricks and Steve Farley, and Craig Kruse and Debbie Moller. Their freshmen attendants were Heather Lusk and Mike Lappegard; sophomores were Shirley Johnson and Scott Lusk; juniors were Nancy Kraakmo and Pat Kruse. The message was removed from the bottle and Mistress of Ceremonies Carolyn Johnson announced Steve Farley and Debbie Moller as King and Queen. After the crowning, skits and musical numbers amused the royalty and audience. Later came the traditional A” crackling loudly with hot flames. The cheerleaders leaped and yelled; everyone was happy. Despite the high spirits, the Alcester Cubs lost their homecom- ing football game to the Garret son Dragons by 56-6 on September 20. Halftime entertainment consisted of a presentation of nostalgic song§ by the band and pom pon girls. At this time the royalty and their at- tendants marched on the field. Thirty Grand provided the music for the students, alumni, and teach- ing staff after the game. 1ST ROW-Karl Johnson, Carl Johnson, Tammi Sogn, and Kristi Merrick. 2ND ROW-Mike Lappegard, Scott Lusk, Pat Kruse, Jeff Wilson, Frances Reppe, Steve Farley, Debbie Moller, Kay Hendricks, Craig Kruse, Nancy Kraakmo, Shirley Johnson, and Heather Lusk. 8 ABOVE: Debbie Moller catches her surprise as ex- citement sweeps the stage.

Tie Vote Results in Six Candidates The search for Atlantis ended at the underwater set created for the Sweetheart theme, Underwater Fantasy. February 15 served as the special night. The lights dimmed as Sue Bergdale began Strangers on the Shore. The candidates were Shelle Trudeau escorted by David Hamm in, Carolyn Johnson escorted by Steve Farley, Kay Hendricks escorted by Leland Zweifel, Cindy Warner escorted by Kenn Barnes, and Marlys Holtkamp escorted by Duane Ryken. The envelope was torn open and Jeff Wilson crowned Queen Kay Hendricks. Classes and organizations then entertained the audience with songs and skits. Master of Ceremonies, Randy Medema, brought some old jokes back to life and got a few laughs. Crank played music for the dance that followed. 13 Maniae Stalks Cast Whodunit? The talents of the senior class shone through a storm-drenched stage as they presented Agatha Christie’s ’’Ten Little Indians” on November 14 and 15. Stranded on an island off the English coast, the ten assorted guests fought des- perately as a murderer picked them off, one by one. Slowly they realized the con- nection between the disappearing Indian statues and their predicament. Suspicion rested on the doctor--until she was found washed up in the tide. Finally it became clear that Wargrave had faked his death and was the killer. The two survivors, Lombard and Claythorne, served Wargrave justice and happily married. Special effects, a well-dec ora ted set, and co-directing by Mrs. Goldammer and Mr. Hall highlighted the play. UPPER RIGHT: Poison in his drink sends Kurt Johnson into a wizard choking fit.

Criminals Stock Play The curtain rose on April 4 and 5 for It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time, the junior class play. Mr. Jerry Joachim directed. An outdoor cafe, called The Old Mission Health Resort , set the scene where a group of criminals were holding a party for Colonel Stillwell's release from prison. Revenge imprinted on his mind, the Colonel set out to con the man he believed to have sent him to jail, only to discover later that his daughter had been responsible. Pamela had hoped to reform him, but the Colonel felt he was too old to become respectable. Even as the curtain closed, he was swindling a man with nonexistant stock for a plut- onium mine. The production was well-received by the audiences both nights. 15 Students Earn Recognition From those who receive much, much is expected. Many awards were distributed during the year to deserving students. In FFA, the Delmar Scott Memorial Award went to Steve Farley, and Charles Vreugdenhil received the Dekalb Award. Frances Reppe was named D. A. R., and the Hammitt Music Award resulted in a tie between Curtis Hebert and Joyce Jahn. The senior class voted for Kay Hendricks and Randy Medema to receive the 'T Dare You Award, and Lori Roskeland baked the winning entry in the Beef Cook-Off. Randy Medema was the recipient of the Arvid Thormodsgaard Scholarship; Sue Bergdale received the Minnie Larson Award as the outstanding junior.

Mr. Vernal Andersen advised A-Club; their major activity was selling Halloween soap insurance to merchants, farmers, and students to raise money for the whirl- pool fund. Mrs. Joann Rozell supervised GAL Club, who held an ice cream social after a girls1 basketball game. Both clubs attended the Athletic Banquet on May 8, where Jeff Wilson was chosen Athlete of the Year. Guest speaker Beanie Cooper delighted the audience with his address. Pep Club decorated the football field for Homecoming. They were led by Mrs. Connie Larsen.

Team Support Improves A promising season for basketball helped the cheerleaders to capture a glowing spirit after a cold football record. Early games drew large crowds, but as the year wore on student enthusiasm suffered occasional lags while rebounding at the Beresford and Parker games. Besides entertaining spectators, the cheerleaders earned money for uniforms by selling mums for homecoming and serving food at a tournament.

Trademarks” formed the foundation for building the 1975 Cubette, The theme, conceived by Randy Medema, was selected in a contest after students submitted many interesting possibilities. Advised by Mr. Alan Hall, the staff spent uncounted hours struggling to meet the three deadlines. Editor Kay Hendricks retouched stories and shifted pictures, searching for the memorable moments of the year looking for the trademarks that separated students into individuals. At the press conference in Brookings, the 1974 Cubette received a First Class rating. RIGHT: Editors work hard on pages. ABOVE: Department Chiefs-Marlys Holtkamp (Head Typist), Charmain Hagen (Assistant Editor), Randy Medema (Copywrite Editor), Rhonda Richter (Business Manager), and Kay Hendricks (Editor). 20 School News Switches to Local Paper A drastic change of format moved the school news into the local paper. The move was made because of rising postage and paper costs, and meant the death of the traditional DAKOTA. Publishing the student news in the Union meant a drop in the need of repor- ters and staff members. Editor Becky Cooper assigned the stories off the best sheet to a handful of reporters each week, and the feature editors compiled the senior interviews. After the stories were checked by advisor Mr. Melvin Ptak and the ad- ministration, the news was taken down- town and became the responsibility of the city paper. In the fall the 1973-1975 DAKOTA re- ceived a First-Class Rating at the annual SDHSJA Press Conference at SDSU. ABOVE: Loree Stubbs and Frances Reppe inter- viewed Seniors for human interest stories.

Collecting tin cans, attending meetings, and wearing pins earned points for the FHA members, under their new point sys- tem. At the year’s end the top ten girls were rewarded with a dinner. The Future Homemakers of America worked together with Mrs. Virginia Eric- son to aid the community while promoting home economics. Project for the year was Self - Im provement. A White Elephant silent auction strengthened the scholarship fund, and assisting in the FFA's paper drives brought in more money. Highlights sprinkled through the season included Daddy-Date Night, Mother-Daugh- ter Banquet, and the joint roller-skating party. Viborg hosted the regional conven- tion, and the state convention was held in Huron.

The FFA boys flip the switch and let 'er rip. FFA Fights Disease Replacing Dutch-Elm diseased trees with healthy trees provided the FFA with a community project this year. The Future Farmers of America met once a month under Mr. James Quick. Again this year the FFA sold citrus fruit to people in the area.

Band Absorbs Eighth Grade Musicians Special auditions allowed talented eighth-graders to join A-band for the first time this year. Besides increasing the band’s size, it enabled them to be selected as an alternate to play at the Regional Basketball Tournament. Conducted by Mrs. Charolette Hedeen, the band marched at Hobo and Dakota Days. In addition to playing at ball games and pep rallies, the music department pre- sented several concerts, giving them a total of 17 performances. Due to a severe snowstorm, compet- ing students were unable to attend the Regional contest. Understanding the prob- lem, a judge traveled to Alcester, listened to the five soloists and six en- sembles, and awarded them very good ratings.

The program was aired at noon on Christmas Day. Earlier the mixed chorus presented a Christmas musical called One Small Child”. More concerts were presented in October, December, March, and May under the direction of Mrs. Connie Larsen. At the Region I vocal contest in Vermillion, soloist Lori Johnson re- ceived a superior rating. Receiving above average ratings were soloists Charmain Hagen, Wendy Schempp, Nancy Kraakmo, Jane Eilers, Brad Kiewel, Mitch Kjose, and Doyle Barnes, Swing Choir, mixed ensemble, and two girls ensembles earned above average ratings.

Three Activities Help Growing Experience Relieving it's debt underlined the National Honor Society's activities for the year. Composed of juniors and seniors with a grade average of B+ or better, the drop from fourteen to six members hampered ideas. Two seniors, Randy Medema and Brad Kiewe, were nominated to apply for the national NHS,scholarship. Representa- tive was Scott Heiman. Dusting and featuring books added to the student librarians' job of assiting students in locating and borrowing books. Advisor Mrs. Sherry Goldammer rearranged the library to provide easier access. Off-beat selections marked the local declam contest. Tory Merrick won with a Dr. Seuss story called Thidwick, the Big- Hearted Moose, and a cutting from MY DARLING, MY HAMBURGER, was Randy Madema's selection. Trudy Holtkamp's delivery of ’’Late for a Date” and Sherea Gabel's A” Spinister at Sixteen” took their divisions. At the district contest the speakers received excellent and good ratings.

Central Cafe catered the banquet of chicken, long johns, and chocolate sun- daes in the city auditorium. Sue Berg- dale welcomed the seniors, and Randy Medema accepted on their behalf. Master of Ceremonies Doyle Barnes opened the program by introducing a Mystery Guest (Henry Zabel), and the sophomores sang Don’t Be Cruel . The class history. prophecy, and will were also presented. Delivery played for the dance after the banquet. Then, students motored to Beresford for a special showing of American Graffiti . French toast and sausages were waiting back in Alcester following the show. A lot of hard work and imagination went into the annual Prom, and creative sets will hold a special place in every- ones memories.

It has indeed been a pleasure for me to have worked with this class for all of the 13 years. I remember in my kindergarten class in 1962, we had Loree Stubbs, Kevin and Curtis Hebert, Craig Kruse, James Jurgensen, Becky Cooper, and Kurt Johnson. Ah, Kurt, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for him. We have something in common, you know. Both of us like to sit in rocking chairs for hours on end. David Hammitt and Rodney Eden started kindergarten here too, but they went to country school in third and fourth grades. Jim Baker started here in first grade. Then the years began passing. I remember in sixth grade Jamie Jurgensen and the Hebert twins came running into my homeroom with black eyes and bloody noses, crying that the school bully had beaten them up. I helped them the best I could-I told them to stay away from Becky Cooper. Then in the fall of '71f, you all turned freshmen along with Mark Sorlie, who was gone faster than one of Brenda Gabel's diets. Your advisor was Mrs. Abraham. You wanted Mr. Senne, but he wouldn’t do it after Frances told him he looked more like a Richard than a Ron. The next year you became sophomores and added John Dunlap, Ed Gross, and Rodney Renville to the halls. You became the first class in Biology to leave their worms out to dry. But you were lucky, they didn't go to waste. Because I remember the next day the school served chicken chow mein. You built the homecoming bonfire and decorated for graduation with advisor Mrs. Goldammer. That was your last year of P. E. -or what you called lap city to the max ! In becoming Juniors you lost Mike Israel, Diane Rolfes, and Dick Roti. You bought your rings, sold concessions, and reran Mrs. Goldammer as class advisor. In the spring you almost presented Night of January Sixteenth without Loree Stubbs when a wheel fell off her car in Beresford. But we don't want to talk about driving in Beresford, do we. That spring you hosted prom under the theme Just an Old-Fashioned Love Song. Some of you danced to Wonderband (I'm not to sure what Scott was doing) and you viewed TOE LAST OF SHELIA. This last year has been your best. Steve and Debbie were chosen Homecoming King and Queen, Kay Hendricks was selected Sweetheart Queen, and Jeff Wilson was elected student body president. Jeff-I remember when he was in third grade and he tried to give himself a haircut in the mirror. It was week before his friends stopped calling him Willy the Butch . You lost Gary Kots, David Steeneck, Rodney Renville, Doug Rogness, Susan Pearson, Shelle Trudeau, and Cindy Warner, but added Brad Kiewel to your roster at second semester. Mrs. Goldammer and Mrs. Hall directed your class play Ten Little Indians and you staged a Sadie Hawkins Record Hop to earn money. I'm not certain, but I think it was when you stuffed 13 people into a phone booth that Duane Ryken began to know Marlys more intimately. You've gotten rid of a lot of old things this year-Steve's '59', Kevin's tennis shoes, and Duane's moustache. Last month you packed up with your advisor, Mr. Carlson, and toured Omaha and Lincoln and had a hunkydory time. I understand that you almost left Terry Johnson behind at a restaurant during breakfast. Of course, Terry has always been a bit quiet. I remem- ber after a volleyball game one night when Terry didn't say haul. And now you've begun your final month of school by attending American Graffiti , the theme of the junior's prom. What will the future bring? I can only give you the advice of your class motto: Either you will find a way, or you'll pull a couple of U's on main. 34 Skip Day Returns! A bus trip to Lincoln and Omaha rounded the seniors' education and emptied their treasury. The class departed at 4:00 a.m. on April 4 and stopped for breakfast in Fremont. At Lincoln they saw the Peniten- tiary, the Capitol, and the State Museum of Natural History. The afternoon was spent touring the Omaha Police Station, Offut Aerospace Museum, and the Joslyn Art Center, Shopping at West Roads and pre- viewing The Other Side of the Mountain at the Indian Hills Cinerama topped the long day that ended at 1:00 a.m. the following morning. Earlier in the year the seniors earned money for the skip day with a Sadie Hawkins Record Hop where girls asked the guys. They also staged the play, Ten Little Indians, but only broke even with costs. As in the past, the seniors traded pic- tures developed at Tollingers and spent their time planning their futures with ACT tests, school visitations, and talks with the guidance counselor. Mr. Robert Carlson advised the class, and Jeff Wilson, Carolyn Johnson, James Jurgensen, and Brenda Gabel were council representatives. iT vvi 3 Ki er Kem bcvrfte BELOW: Mayhem reigns backstage as the cast antici- pates curtain time.

Magazine Profits Fill Junior Treasury Selling magazines became an exclusive job for the junior class, and their total sales sent 15 juniors to a free meal at Walt and Mary’s. Randy Hakl, the top salesman, sold more magazines than anyone else in South Dakota. Everyone who sold more than ten subscriptions picked a prize. Much of the money earned was spent transforming the auditorium into American Graffitti for Junior-Senior Prom. In April they enacted It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time , directed by Mr. Jerry Joachim. Delegates for Boys and Girls State were Perry Schempp and Sue Bergdale; their alternates were John Duncan and Brenda Crawford. Doyle Barnes, Jahn Hultgren and Chair- main Hagen represented the juniors in stu- dent council. Class officers were president Sue Bergdale, vice-presi- dent Henry Zabel, secretary Nancy Kraakmo, and treas- urer Jane Eilers.

Since a new policy allowed only juniors to sell magazines, the sophomores boosted their budget by operating several con- cession stands. Responsibilities grew for the soph- omores. For the Homecoming pep rally they built a huge A” and ignited it, and prepared decorations and bought flowers for commencement. Ten of the sophomores were selected to serve tables at junior-senior Prom. Student Council representatives were Laura Hendricks and Scott Lusk, and Mr. Alan Hall advised the class. Elected to class offices were president Evelynn Dunlap, vice-president Gene Johnson, secretary Rhonda Thompson, and treasurer Mary Anderson.

What Marks Will the Freshmen Leave? The rookie freshmen entered the world of high school in the fall of 1974. Although apparently lost for a few days, they soon adapted and fell in line. English I, physical science, physical education, and either Algebra I or general math were required courses for all fresh- men. To complete their schedules were choices of Home Economics I, Agriculture I, general business. Art I, and driver's education. The freshmen this year, as other years, took the Iowa Test of Educational Develop- ment and the Kuder General Interest Sur- vey. Participating in extra curricular activi- ties occupied their remaining time. The freshmen were advised by Mr. Roy Webster and represented by Cherie Sorlie and John Bergdale.

Grade School Uses Open Classroom Heavy usage for sport events and concerts kept the elementary school gym- nasium in motion this year. In its second year, the elementary school housed kindergarten through sixth grades. Mornings began with all students as- sembling in the library pit for the flag pledge, announcements, and singing patriotic music. Lunch was transported from the high school and served by a section of the cooking staff and a cus- todian. 49 Thirty-six seniors wore their tasseled caps and gowns-the final trademarks of high school-on May 22 in the elementary gymnasium. Under the motto, Either we will find a way or we will make one, the class chose light blue and yellow as the colors and roses as the flower. Rev. Ken Lewis officiated at Baccalaureate on May 18 and gave the invocation, sermon and benediction. For entertainment mixed chorus sang Day by Day and swing choir performed Morning Has Broken. Senior performances filled most of the Commencement exercises. Senior band played Both Sides Now and the senior girls chorus sang What the World Needs Now is Love. Randy Medema and Brad Kiewel delivered the valedictory and salutatory addresses. A reading titled For Those Who Face Tomorrow was presented by Scott Heiman. After Tom Kearns, KYNT radio manager, gave the main speech, Dennis Hultgren awarded the diplomas and Rev. Robert Toren prayed the benediction. As the new alumni marched out to the congratulatory line, the tears of happiness and sadness clouded their eyes but not their vision as they abruptly faced their horizon. so ABOVE: 1ST ROW-John Bergdale, Jason Peterson, Jarvis Peterson, Stuart Heiman, Brad Kleinhans, Kevin Hebert, Loren Johnson. 2ND ROW-Warren Johnson, Joe Onnen, Kurt Sommervold, Henry Zabel, Scott Lusk, Pat Kruse, Vaughn Johnson, John Duncan, Rick Hongslo, Doug Harvey. 3RD ROW-Duane Ryken, John Dunlap, Mike Lappegard, Randy Ronning, Tory Merrick, Tom Zingler, Mitch Kjose, Kevin Sebesta, Gene Johnson, Dale Pearson, Jeff Hall, Randy Hakl, Jeff Wilson, Barry Hughes, James Jurgensen, Bryan Crawford, Rodney Eden. Injuries Hamper Cubs Disappointment and misfortune framed the Cubs football season that closed with a 0-7 record. In spite of a good offensive fight, hopes for a good season fell early in the fall when Craig Kruse and Kenn Barnes were sidelined with serious injuries. Lack of experience hindered many of the remain- ing players. The Cubs were coached by Mr. Joachim and assisted by Mr. Kropuenske. Loren Johnson led in rushing with 210 yards. Leading tackier was Rodney Eden with 62 tackles and assists. James Jurgensen, John Dunlap, and Kevin Hebert were other seniors who strengthened the team. As the season closed, Jeff Wilson was named to the All-Conference team. Rodney Eden, Vaughn Johnson, and Mitch Kjose received Honorable Mention.

B-Teams Rate Well Victories over Beresford and Hills - Beaver Creek gave the junior varsity foot- ball squad a 2-5 record. The team consisted of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Fourteen wins and three losses meant an outstanding season for the basketball B-team. Mark Andersen took scoring and rebounding honors; John Bergdale led in assists. Technically no junior varsity wrestling team existed; however, the younger mem- bers wrestled with towns before games to gain experience.

Victory over Beresford in the annual rivalry added satisfaction to an excellant season. The Cubs finished third in the Conference and fourth in the Dis- tricts. Most Valuable Player was Craig Kruse, who was also voted co-captain along with Jeff Wilson. Both made the All-Conference listing, and Jeff Wilson received an Argus - Leader Ace-of-the-Week card for the winning free-throws in the Tri-Valley and Viborg games.

Twenty-four girls participated, enabling them to claim a 2-7 season for the varsi- ty squad and a 3-6 record for the B- team. Rhonda Twedt led the A-team in scor- ing with 104 points. The girls elected Jane Eilers and Brenda Crawford as co- captains. Evelynn Dunlap led the B-team as high scorer, rebounder, and captain. Mrs. Rozell, assisted by Wendy Stubbs, coached both teams.

Naturally each instructor has his own method of teaching, and four new faculty members added their distinct personalities to Alcester’s teaching staff this year. Mr. Alan Hall, the new guidance counselor, moved from Madera, California to Sioux Falls where he commuted each school day to Alcester. A graduate of USD, Mrs. Joanne Rozell began her first year of girls coaching last year.

Often we forget the importance of special services. Mr. Donowan Larson, the school business manager, kept tabs on the funds for the school and Mrs. Marchi Lingert handled correspondence and filed atten- dance records. Bus drivers drive students to and from school in various weather and road con- ditions. The custodians cleaned the schools and kept their appearance neat for each day. Hot meals were provided daily by the cooks. These people are the important spokes” that help the wheel of school turn every day.

Council Buys Fountains Selling concessions headed the student council’s activities this year. Past years the junior class opereated the stands, but due to sorely needed funds, the student council took over the operation. Other classes and organizations were allowed to ’’rent” the stand if they needed to increase their treasuries. At Christmas time the student council provided treats and the film ’’Wait Until Dark”. They decorated the classrooms and bathrooms to illustrate various Christmas carols. The student council also purchased rock bands ’’Thirty Grand” and ’’Crank” for Homecoming and Sweetheart.

LELAND ZWEIFEL: FFA-1-4; Ag Judging Teams-1-2,4. 81 And so on. Together we have finished a year. What visions lie in the future as our country begins its third century? As we look over the horizon behind us, mist drifts into our memories. But this Cubette, a lighthouse of trade- marks, can beacon through the fog and radiate a world that once was ours. Senior Class Prophecy of 1975 In the spring of 1995, Lavonne Limoges, head nurse at the Morningside Manor, decided to take some time off to go on a vacation and look up some of her old class- mates at the same time. But first she wanted to say goodbye to the new resident at the home, Carolyn Johnson. It seems Jeff Wilson was sponsoring his annual hog-calling contest on his local farm. The contestants lined up and screamed and yelled but to no avail. The last contestant was Carolyn Johnson. When she started yelling, she got lockjaw with her mouth stuck open and went into shock. Doc Jamie Jurgensen has to be called on the scene. She asked Doc Jurgensen how Carolyn was after he gave her his own ’’special mix”. His only comment was, ”It always makes me feel better. In the meantime, Jeff’s hogs had gone berserk from the noise Carolyn had made and ran into the Brule Creek where Joyce Jahn, world famous opera singer, was fishing out of her houseboat. Joyce had formerly been married to Jim Baker, who was last seen duck hunting at Cole’s Dam when he was attacked by a snapping turtle during one of Joyce's yodelling lessons. On her way out of Alcester, Lavonne came upon an accident. It seems David Hammitt missed the reverse in his last car so much that he was driving backwards and ran into the house of city policeman John Dunlap. Policeman Dunlap wouldn’t have gotten so hyper except that his wife, Loree Stubbs, was showing their kids. Fist and Knuckles, how to get a door knob in their mouths, and with all of the ex- citement she swallowed it and had to be rushed to the hospital. Loree's comments on the way were, You think this is bad—you should have seen what I did with the shot put in track! Sioux City was her next stop, but she was passed by Rhonda Richter and Fran- ces Reppe, owners of the Reppe and Rondu Trucking Company, who were trying to break Kathy Muller’s record for hauling the most Montana Ridgebacks to the Sioux City Stockyards in one day. While passing the Elk Point exit, she waved to Randy Medema, who was detas- seling corn for Curry’s. Because of experience, Randy always left a packed suit- case of clothes at the end of each row in case of an attack. Upon arriving in Sioux City, Lavonne decided to have a quick bite of lunch at MacDonalds, where she found Brenda Gabel on her seventh Big Mac in ten minutes. Brenda explained that she had given nine parties in the last month and after burning down 27 curtains she decided to give herself up as a nun at St. Eden’s Cathedral, named after the former Reverend Father Pope Rodney Eden. Rodney is now scrub- bing the floors in the Chapel after being caught holding hands with Terry Johnson, who has been a choir boy there for the past 20 years. Lavonne then went up to Rochester to the hospital to look up Debbie Moller, former owner of the Moller Roller Beauty Salon. Debbie had a nervous breakdown and went into debt after Mark Larson came in to have his hair styled and refused to leave until his hair was straight. Mark is still sitting there with 15 combs, 3 brushes, a pair of scissors, and an iron on his head. 83 At the hospital , she also encountered Steve Farley, who was in traction. It seems Steve broke his leg when he tripped on his high heels and fell off the stage runway while modeling Haines Panty Hose. Lavonne's next stop was in Kansas City, Missouri, to see Denton Anderson, who is not the famous freak-shot artist Hoss Hetzel. He has a drop-kick record of 10 in 4 days. His proud manager, Craig Kruse, taught him everything he knows. Craig also auctioned off Hetzel's toenails for souveniers. Charles Vreugdenhil bought one and crossed it with one of his potato plants. Charlie won an award for his winning crop of Free-Toes Com Chips. Lavonne stopped in El Paso, Texas, to take a tour through Becky Cooper's 1000 acre cattle ranch. While walking through the cattle yards she spotted Brent Ericson when along came the local junk collector Terrance Kjose. Lavonne waved to him to stop. Becky asked him to go out and get Brent. But Terry replied, ”B-b-but how can I? I don't have a boat. Lavonne told Becky she had to leave quickly so she'd be in time for the Indiana Indianapolis 500, in which Leland Zwwifel and Loren Johnson were participating. She got there just in time to see Lee's engine blow up for the 15th time. Loren Johnson did fairly well, though he would have done better, he said, if he wouldn't have had that nasty fall off the bed in Brookings. Kevin and Curtis Hebert, who were in their 20th year of the Air Force, were still in basic training in Lackland, Texas. Lavonne talked to Curtis who was the head cook, and he explained that she would have to wait to talk to Kevin because Curtis had accidently put Ex-Lax in his last batch of brownies, and Kevin had volunteered for latrine duty for the next 2 months. Lavonne bought airline tickets to Europe and put her 30 suitcases on the luggage rack. She stopped in Egypt where she found Kurt Johnson, who was now a shiek and had 50 wives. Tired of the hot weather, Lavonne left for Sweden where she saw Duane and Marlys Ryken. Duane enjoyed the cheap rates because he didn't have to rent skiis-- Marlys just stood on the front of Duane's feet and away they went! Lavonne decided to make one final stop at Disney World where she found Scott Heiman in between Donald Duck and Grumpy of the Seven Dwarfs. He's still telling those elephant jokes. His favorite is: Why is the elephant wearing green shoes? So he isn’t noticed when he walks across the pool table! Coming into Alcester again she stopped to get some groceries at Kenn Barnes' grocery store. Going through the check-out line Lavonne told Kenny how fresh his peaches were, and Kenny responded, If it’s not fresh, I'm out of business. After returning to the Home, Lavonne found Carolyn in the kitchen selling spoonful dishes of ice cream for 50 £, trying to become a millionaire. On her re- turn trip she heard on the radio that Brad Kiewel had landed on the planet Pluto, and he was making his first appearance by singing Black Water . Last but not least there's Ed Gross, who was shot by his dad again while he was coon hunting and was in the Hawarden hospital recovering nicely, and Kay Hendricks, who was chasing down her old classmates for student life pictures so she could finish the CUBETTE. 84
