OUR ADMINISTRATION Board of Education members meet on the third Tuesday of every month. They are LEFT TO RIGHT, Marvin Siemon, Arthur Laabs, Dr. John Fogarty, Urban Hessian, John Morrison, and Orison Hahn. Superintendent Lindquist has the im- portant role of serving and develop- ing our community and educational program. Possessing these capabili- ties, Superintendent Lindquist pro- vided the necessary leadership to help initiate and carry out the policies for the functioning of our school system . Regulating the school efficiently is in the capable hands of our principal, Mr. Robert Clappier. Among his duties are keeping order and disciplining the students of BPHS. Members of the Board of Education served their community in their daily lives. Orison Hahn, chairman, is the owner of a local department store. Clerk, Urban Hessian, and treasurer, Arthur Laabs serve as farmers. The directors are Marvin Siemons and John Morrison.farmers; and Dr. John Fogarty, local veterinarian. SERVES Miss Schmidt and Mrs. Tikalsky pause while checking the school accounts. The daily routine of Mr. Clappier includes meetings, interviews, and filling out admit slips. MR. HENDERSON MR. O'LAUGHLIN MR. OTT SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT A travelog committee constructed a political map of each region that was studied in the seventh-grade American History classes. Ambitious students spent many hours after school helping Mr. Perkins display these maps through the use of the bulletin board. Eighth-graders made concentrated semester studies of different nations of the world in their World Geography classes. This project included a study of the nations' religions, languages, coinage, industries, and arts, commented Mr. Perkins. Mr. Ott led the freshmen to a better understanding of our state's resources, of our law enforcement, and of the local and state courts in his social studies class. Helping the sophomores to better understand the world they live in was the project of Mr. Henderson and Mr. O'Laughlin in their American History classes. The juniors were confronted with a new experience this year in their World History classes. Students prepared, under the guidance of Mr. Henderson, extensive research papers on topics of current discussion. Senior social had a dual study purpose; the first semester was de- voted to a study of our American Government, and the second semester was spent studying the economic system that exists in the United States today. The social studies department did indeed have a busy year. Faculty members devoted much time to rewriting the entire social science curriculum. It is hoped that by the fall of 1966, an entirely new social studies curriculum will be instituted. MR. PERKINS' travelog committee. 8 MRS. ALBRECHT MISS ANCSTMAN MRS. CHRISTENSEN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Mr. Delgehausen's seventh and eighth-grade classes began their junior high school study of the English language by spending the majority of their time on grammar. Preparing book reports became a major project of the junior high English students. During their freshman year, students were introduced to William Shake- speare by reading THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. Another major work we studied, commented Mrs. Christensen, was Scott's IVANHOE. A large period of time was also spent in learning to write research papers. Sophomores took on a new approach to creative writing this year. The paperback book, Stop, Look, and Write which was fUled with thought- provoking pictures, provided a basis to this approach. Themes and poems were written from each student's personal interpretation. The old standards of reading short stories, poetry and dramas included SILAS MARNER, Julius Caesar and The Miracle Worker. Mrs. Albrecht's eleventh-grade English classes conducted a survey of American Literature getting acquainted with the older classic’ American writers, as well as the modefn. Writing was studied and practiced, with emphasis on a research theme on a subject of interest to the individual student. Miss Angstman guided the seniors through their last of twelve years of English. A prominent piece of literature, Pygmalion , the British version of My Fair Lady , was studied in detail. This year 140 students from the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades attended As You Like It at the Tyrone Cutherie Theatre in Minneapolis. A speed reading course was introduced this past year, enabling many students to develop an increased speed in their reading. % MR. ILLETSCHKO 9 MISS ALLBEE MRS. HURLEY MR. HARMS MR. LIESE VOCATIONAL guidance The business education department served a dual role by providing all- purpose education and vocational preparation. Bookkeeping aimed to teach an understanding of records for personal use, ' stated Mr. Weber. Typing was designed to provide the fundamental course of the business department. Since nearly all copy leaving an office is typed, this course is essential. Office practice was designed to familiarize the students with the funda- mental principles of office machines and procedures, commented Miss Meyer. Studying the organization of businesses was the main idea expressed in consumer economics. During the day students sniffed the air curiously as the halls were filled with delicious aromas. Young cooks learned to prepare single dishes with the help of Miss Allbee. Sewing provided knowledge of construction. Girls learned what to look for in ready-made clothes, stated Mrs. Hurley. MISS MEYER MR. WEBER Junior high boys learned the art of being do-it-yourself experts in indus- trial arts courses. Senior high boys used their own ideas to make articles for around the home with the help of Mr. Liese. MR. BARFKNECHT MR. RICHARD MISS BAKER WAS SOUGHT.. . Our school had not, until 1965, when Mr. Cote was hired, had a counselor. Because of his friendship and willingness to aid students in any way, his assistance was gratefully appreciated. The job of a guidance counselor can best be described as the services available to each stu- dent to facilitate academic success; to help achieve a better understanding of personal strengths, and to aid in planning for and attaining realistic goals. In the counseling process the individual is assisted in understanding, accepting and utilizing his abilities, aptitudes, and interests, in relation to his goals. Because of this increased understanding he will be more capable of making free and wise decisions relating to his education- al, vocational, and personal adjustments. Music, you might say, added a finishing touch in the schedules of BPHS students. Band members were kept on their toes by challenges which stimulated good performances. Choir members were also confronted with many new challenges this past year. The choir sang A-l-rated songs through-out the school year. The library provided a laboratory where stu- dents' questions were answered and where an enriched background for daily studies were developed. MR. COTE, our new guidance counselor, has assisted many students toward their academic success. MRS. CL APPIER MR. MONTBRIAND MISS WILHELMI MR. HEITKAMP MR. MILLER MA TH AND SCIENCE DEPARTMENTS Contained within the mathematics department are courses ranging from general math to college-prep math. Included in this curriculum were elementary algebra, plane geometry, higher algebra, and tri- gonometry. Math is an aid in chemistry, physics, and business classes. Mrs. Clappier’s seventh and eighth students were in- troduced to the language of Modern Math. It was a much more comprehensive subject and thus more interesting; including a bit of algebra plus fractions and percentages. Many interesting things happened in BPHS science labs, where students received training in the scientific method. Mr. Miller's biology classes found dissecting such creatures as frogs and crayfish very interesting. Chemistry provided necessary background for further work. A major part of chemistry studies centered around the periodic table of elements. Physics classes, under Mr. Heitkamp, surveyed land, measured molecules, and discovered Newton's Law by experimentation. BPHS students were trained mentally and physically as they took part in physical education classes. Girls’ phy. ed. covered topics including first aid. basketball, and softball. Working out on the trampoline and balance beam helped to develop coordination--essential in boys’ physi- cal education. They played team games such as volley- ball, football, basketball, and baseball. THE COOKS at the start of another day. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Mrs. Marie Albrecht, Mrs. Tillie Stier, Mrs. Ema Cruetzmacher, Miss Ida Stier, and Mrs. Marilyn Lewer. THE JANITORS of the school were, LEFT TO RIGHT: Dave Soller, August Tolzman, Darin Hauer, and Arm in Kruschke. PREPARING, CLEANING, AND DRIVING It was no easy task for the five cooks of BPHS to feed 400 students daily, but these cooks did the job efficiently. They prepared meats, sandwiches, and desserts through- out the school year. How would you feel after sweeping 43 miles of highway? This is just what Dave. Armin, August, and Darin, custodians of Belle Plaine High School, did throughout the school year. They pushed their brooms over 244. 067 square feet of floor every twenty days. Another big task for these men was erasing and oiling the 1.000 square feet of blackboard, which was constantly being marked upon with 576 pieces of chalk per month. Rain, snow, mud, and fog were the main obstacles that confronted the bus drivers of BPHS students. But such weather conditions seldom stopped the buses from traveling their routes each school day. Bus drivers also drove the school buses to local and tournament games, and to music contests. BUS DRIVERS of Belle Plaine students were, FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: I. Plonske, L. Lieske, S. Stier, D. Hennen, B. Stradcutter, E. Stier, O. Stier, L. Farrell, V. Hermann. MISSING was D. Tilquist. LONG HOURS AND HARD WORK The business typing class, under the supervision of Miss Meyer, is shown completing a project in typing a manuscript. Competitive Girls Gymnastics was introduced in our school this past year. Jackie Hoelz, Joyce Otto, Denise Fahey, and Ramona Buesgens entered this meet, which was held on March 26, 1966, at Edina, Minnesota. Denise placed second, Ramona placed third, and Joyce placed fourth, in the trampoline event. On April 16, these girls participated in the state meet. Free exercise, vaulting, and performing on the balance beam were the events in this meet. Mr. Miller s sophomores took part Senior and junior boys in industrial art classes worked on in the physical fitness program. architectural drawings this past year, under the direction of Mr. Cote. Senior English students listened as Miss Angstman gave the following day's assignment; a theme on What college each student planned on attending after graduation. INCREASED KNOWLEDGE Seventh-grade girls took part in question-answer type discussions in Miss Wilhelmi's health classes. Freshman girls in Mrs. Hurley's home economics class sewed out- fits for themselves to fit their own tastes. The senior high band, under the direction of Mr. Richard, practiced intensely as the spring contest drew closer. This year's contest was at Farmington and the band played Dorian and Psalm and Air. 15 RICHARD BAUMANN DONALD BERCS BEVERLY BIGOT CAROLYN BLECK JAMES BRENKE CYNTHIA BUESCENS SENIORS MOVE TOWARD FINAL AHRENS, KENNETH--Paper Staff 4; Science Club 3,4; Class Play 3; Senior Band 1,2,3,4; Baseball 1,2,3,4; Letterman's Club 2,3,4.

In the fall a magazine drive was sponsored to raise money for the Prom which they had to finance in the spring. The goal of $2700 was reached. Additional funds were obtained from operating the conces- sion stand during the football season and sponsoring a sock hop after a basketball game. A representative from Josten Jewelers visited our school early in the winter to display the different styles of class rings. The class of 1967 chose the Sculptura style ring. Later in the winter, the junior girls, with the approval of the American Legion Auxiliary, selected Jane Simcox to represent Belle Plaine at Girls' State. The three-act comedy, Ask Any Girl, was presented to the public by the junior class on April I and 2. The cast consisted of twelve girls and five boys. The highlight of the entire year was the Prom which was held on May 7. Arrangements and decorations accenting the theme Wonderland By Night, created a romantic and dreamland atmosphere in the gym. 28 The choosing of a specific style of class ring was an important decision made by the juniors. The Sculptura style was the ultimate choice. The fact that it was available in four sizes and four different stone settings made the individual choice of ordering a ring equally difficult. STEP TO BECOME SENIORS We are all faced with a series of great opportunities--brilliant- ly disguised as insoluble problems. FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Montbriand, P. Morrison, P. Ott. J.

SOPHOMORES INTRODUCED SOPHOMORE BIOLOGY students--apprehensive girls and enthusiastic boys—are awaiting another dissection. This time it's fish! The sophomores can look back on a very successful and exciting school year. Intro- duction to senior high life became very interesting with academic courses such as English, American history, plane geom- etry and biology, and vocational courses such as home economics, business typing, agriculture, and shop. The social side was highlighted with sev- eral different events. One of these was a sock-hop, which was given shortly after the basketball season came to an end. Other highlights were the sophomore class party, and last but not least, the privilege of some sophomores to serve as waiters and waitresses at the Junior-Senior Prom. A few sophomore girls were lucky enough to attend the gala event as dates of junior and senior boys. Drivers training education was offered to those interested sophomores under the direction and guidance of Mr. Ott. The attaining of a provisional drivers license was the reward of accomplishment of passing the written test and the road test for these students enrolled in the program. CLASS OFFICERS MR.

INTERESTS FOR THE FUTURE The ambitious activities and worthwhile achievements of the seventh grade attracted much attention this school year. A sock hop was sponsored early in the fall to origi- nate their money-making projects. After the basketball season, posters suggesting five responsibilities of a worthwhile citizen were displayed in the halls. The class conducted a bake sale in the spring and donated the proceeds from it to the fund for sponsoring a foreign exchange student. Many students enrolled in the Library Club and discovered its vast potentialities. FRONT ROW, Left to Right: Mr. Richard, S. Seaver, K. Meger, M. Schuman, S. Stringer, R. Tesch, K. O'Brien, K.

Be- sides the regular duties of the group, the large projects that were undertaken by the Council were many. The most noted of these projects was the Senior of the Month program. Each month a senior was selected by the senior faculty and given appropri- ate praise for his accomplishments. In the fall, Mike Murphy, Russ Hart, and Mr. Perkins attended the Minnesota Assoc- iation of Student Councils' Convention at Rochester. The twenty-nine members of the council collaborated with civic officials to plan a Halloween Dance. They also prtesented a Christmas program for the student body before vacation. The most far-reaching of the projects is to obtain a Foreign Exchange Student. With this in mind, the Council sponsored a dual Junior-Senior high sock hop in the Spring. MUCH OF THE responsibility of handling school events belongs to these Student Council officers.

Young Mrs. Christensbn (Advisor) HONOR STUDENTS BROADEN BACKGROUNDS The National Honor Society is a student honorary organization with selection based on the consideration of scholarship, leadership, character, and service to the school and community. Since service to the school is already re- quired of a student before he can be cho- sen, the group decided the program at their meetings should provide beneficial material in some area not included in the school curriculum. For example, a presentation on art was given at one of the meetings. This was followed by a group trip to the Minne- apolis Institute of Arts. Mr. Harold Albrecht, former advisor to the group, was the guest speaker at the induction ceremony in the fall. At this ceremony, nine new members were in- ducted . 39 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY officers gather around their emblem. STANDING: Sec. , Mary Fogarty; and Treas. , Joyce Kamitz.

For the Belle Plaine Chapter of the F.T.A., On the move in '66 meant taking a look at teaching as their ca- reer. The members earned points by assisting teachers in the field of their choice. They also heard views of teaching from a first year teacher. Mr. Weber, an experienced teacher, Mr. Ott, and special education teacher, Mrs. Lieske. In addition to gaining experience by giving assistance to individual teach- ers and hearing about the teaching profession from teachers, the F.T.A. members also discussed teaching methods as practiced in BPHS. They too considered student attitudes in our school and how these might be improved. FUTURE TEACHERS, LITERARY CLUB HA VE ACTIVE YEAR In their bimonthly supper meetings, the Belle Plaine Chapter of the Na- tional Quill and Scroll Society re- corded and cataloged information concerning Belle Plaine Alumni. Eventually, the chapter hopes to have an information file on all former graduates. Quill and Scroll is a national honorary journalistic organiza- tion. To be eligible for member- ship, a student must be in the upper third of his class and must be active on the school paper, or the Annual Staff. Ten new members were found to possess these quali- ties and were initiated in a candle- light ceremony at the home of Mrs. Albrecht on November 15, 1965. SEATED: Mrs. Albrecht. FRONT ROW: B.

They were a part of thousands who were present at the per- formance at Northrup Memorial Auditorium, University of Minnesota. The first public performance for the band took place at the Christmas Concert. Mr. Fran Richards directed them in two numbers. They were The Twelve Days of Christmas and Angels We Have Heard On High. April 22 was the date for the Spring Concert. The Cadet Band’s three arrangements for the concert were: Sherry Lynn Waltz, My Merry Oldsmobile, and Yankee Doodle Rides Again. The latter was played in styles of different countries such as Germany, Russia, Spain, and the United States, and was narrated by Larry Koniarski. In summing up the year, Mr. Richards stated, I am well satisfied with the accomplishments of the Cadet Band. They worked very hard. CHORUS COUNCIL, SEATED: K. Tritz, M. O'Brien. STANDING :J.

The Chorus and Band Concerts were com- bined this year on one evening because of lack of open dates. The choir performed at the Christmas Con- cert held on December 16. Some of the Christmas selections were Joy to the World, Rejoice, Dream Bethlehem, and Good Night. The boys' quartet and the girls' trio both sang at the concert. Many of the Christmas songs were re- corded for KTOE radio and broadcast on December 19. The chorus sang at the induction ceremony of the National Honor Society and at the Christmas program for the student body.

The most important advance of the year came during Thanksgiving vacation when the editors and advisors traveled to the Na- tional Scholastic Press Conference in Chicago. As NSPA delegates, our representatives acquired ideas concerning the publishing of better school newspapers and yearbooks. More knowledge in this area was necessary because of the increased interest shown in effective journalism in Belle Plaine High School. REORGANIZATION HELPED TO take some of the load off the shoulders of the co- editors, although much responsibility still remains.

Among other improvements in the year- book are the use of stitched binding and more effective copy. 46 FOURTH ROW: M. Fogarty, W. Mattfeld, D. Zellman, K. Ahrens, E. Carney, G. Westlund, R.

Writers were as- signed to work on individual pages, under four page editors. This is the paper’s second year of printing through the HERALD office. This system is continuing to produce a very fine paper. Benefits for the two staffs also came from memberships in professional organizations such as the Minnesota High School Press Association and the National Scholastic Press Association. As members in these organizations, our school receives pro- fessional evaluation of our publications along with suggestions for improvements in them. The literary products of the year proved to be the results of a busy year of learning and profitable experience.

Ignition of a huge bonfire and elaborate stage decorations visu- alized some of the improvements. Class attendants were eliminated with a change to five queen candidates instead of the traditional three. Greater alumni participation was evident at the coronation, game, and dance.

The plot in- volved Roanne Shepperly, a blind girl, whose life was threatened by a mentally unbalanced killer, Dr. Fontaine. Other characters added interesting touches to the story. Gerald Clayton fell in love with Roanne to result in a charming love story. Augusta Garvey, a busybody, and Tessie, the maid, added bits of humor. The production was a rewarding challenge for the actors, which made extremely in- teresting viewing for large audiences in the two public performances on November 5 and 6.

HUMOR PREVAILS AT COMEDY, (ASK ANY GIRL” MEG BECOMES ENLIGHTENED, deciding to use Motivation Research to sell Evan on her product. A New York setting, a girl's hotel, and a comedy atmosphere highlighted the 1966 Junior Class Play directed by Miss Carol Angstman. As this comedy in three acts evolved, Meg Wheeler, a husband-seeking just-out-of college career girl, employed the tech- niques of Motivation Research , a secret husband-catching device. Such characters appeared as Evan Doughton, the playboy younger brother of Miles Doughton, a stiff- necked all-business type man; two doting aunts; and parents that were easily influ- enced. A hotel full of charming young girls completed the talented seventeen member cast. Many juniors worked diligently behind the scenes in preparation for the perform- ances presented April 1 and 2. 57 LEADING THE GRAND MARCH are Junior Class President Kevin Tritz, and his date, Mary Fogarty; Senior Class President Rich Chewing, escorting Pam Ediger; Junior Vice-President Lance Zellman, accompanying Kris Nitz and Senior Vice-President Tom Mahoney, and his date, Jane Simcox. JUNIORS CREATE AN ENCHANTING “WONDERLAND LONDON BRIDGE ISN'T falling down, but rather a winding arch is formed as the couples near the end of the Grand March. Months of planning and many hours of work made the dream of the 1966 Junior- Senior Prom� a reality. A final frantic week of preparation found the juniors put- ting finishing touches on their Wonder- land by Night. The evening of May 7 began with a ham dinner prepared and planned by Mrs. Leuwer and her assistants, along with the banquet committee. The Prom address was delivered by Mr. John Bush, former coach and teacher at Belle Plaine and now a salesman living in Des Moines, Iowa. The couples then proceeded to the gym for the traditional grand march, veiwed by many parents and friends. Couples danced beneath a spotlighted revolving ball to the music of the Don Deane Orchestra from Mankato. 58 MUSIC FOR AN evening of dancing was provided by the Don Dean Orchestra of Mankato. ABOVE, the couples dance to the theme song, Wonderland By Night . ENTERING OVER THE castle drawbridge, the couples couples are introduced to the decorations which create a Prom atmosphere. BY NIGHT” IN WHICH TO HOST SENIORS A 12-by 40-foot replica of a castle was the highlight of the decorations. Silver stars hung from a false ceiling of blue and silver streamers. A huge silhouetted dancing couple on a background of royal blue, adorned the east wall of the gym- nasium. During the intermission, the Class Will was read by Rick Chewning, President of the Senior Class, followed by the Class Prophecy read by the Junior Class Presi- dent, Kevin Tritz. Arrangements for the Prom were super- vised by the junior class advisors, Mrs. Hurley, Mr. Henderson, Mr. Montbriand, and Miss Meyer, along with Jane Simcox and Jean Bigaouette, co-chairwomen of the Prom.

I’VE GOT IT! No, I have it! TRY TO GET IT, is Pat Spellacy's comment to the opposition at one of the home basketball games. 1 SURPRISE! Look who's here! was the expression on the faces of team members Joe Huber and Brian Meier- bachtol and Coach Mr. Montbriand as they popped through the caricatures during one of the pepfests. Although our basketball team ended up on the wrong side of the .500 mark, posting an 8-12 overall season record, there were some bright spots in the picture. The Tigers’ best game was played against Farmington in the first round of the Dis- trict 13 basketball tournaments. In spite of Farmington's height advantage the Tigers downed them 74-54 hitting an astounding 57% of their shots. This year the Tigers’ main asset was their balanced scoring. Against Farmington all of the starting five reached double figures in their scoring column. In LeCenter's game four of the five accomplished this feat. Co-captain Joe Ott was the top point-getter in twelve of the Tigers' cage games. Joe, with a 15.6 point season average, was one of four players to be unamimously chosen to the all-conference team. Kevin Tritz led the scoring in five games, and Pat Spel- FRONT ROW, Left to Right: L. Hiles, B. Meierbachtol, G. Scaver, C. Ahrens, J. Fogarty, R. Elder, C. Horman, S. Benike. MIDDLE ROW: L.

This accomplishment reflects the overall improvement of our cindermen this year, and is just one example of the team's umerous wins resulting from high individual scoring.

Pitcher Joe Ott has proved most valuable to the team with his outstanding per- formances on the mound.

COACH HENDERSON gives Pat pointers on Region Meet. Larry Buesgens had the best over-all record with twelve wins and three losses, with nine pins. Belle Plaine's entry in the 1966 Region tournament was Pat Ediger. Pat is the first person to gain this feat in Belle Plaine’s wrestling history. He had an eleven and two record to earn second place in the District Tourna- ment. B. Schuette, P. Spellacy, B. Meierbachtol, J. Bailey, P. Ediger. SENIOR LETTERMEN FRONT ROW: K. Ahrens, M.
