Determination Equals Success For Students During 1971, the students of Belle Plaine High School showed each other what determination can do for a school. The result of this will- power was success. Success was prevalent in all forms of school life, including general improvement of individual attitudes and group attitudes. During the year 1971, BPHS proved it could stand out as a success- a goal our students met. LEFT: Sandi Bergs demonstrates the finer points of art on Student Government Day.

The coronation was held ki the gymnasium followed by the txjrfite. The traditional make dance was kd by the cheerleaders. The etteStenneoc and spirit of the eight before war carried over to the next afternoon at the pep fest with skits, pep talks, and plenty of cheers. That night on the gridiron, the Tigers put it all together and came op with a 60-20 win over Montgomery.

BPHS'ers Survive Sweat Sessions The yearly SnoBall, which was sponsored by the A team cheer- leaders, was held in the old elementary gym on the evening of December 19, 1970. Music was supplied by the Griffen . The gym was decorated with the theme of winter in mind. The FFA held their annual Sweetheart Dance on the night of February 20, 1971. The crowd danced to the music of the Head , and the crowning of the new Sweetheart, Barb Flynn, also took place that night. The guys took a rest as the girls did the asking for the Sadie Hawkins dance, sponsored by the GAA, held on the evening of February 13, 1971.

Students Take Over At Belle Plaine High At 8:05 on February 17, 1971, faculty members of BPHS handed over their positions to a few courageous students who tried their talents at the task of instructing. The classrooms were not the only places where changes took place; the office positions and school board mem- bers were filled by a few students from the Student Council. Student Government Day this year proved to be a day out of the ordinary for some students—and teachers. FHA Donates Slaves For A Day The FHA girls donated their services as slaves to the guys for one day during March. The girls were sold at an auction to the highest bidder. The guys made their slaves do such menial tasks as carry three tons of useless books around all day and clean uncleanable lockers. “. . . And now you can do ten laps around the school. Barb! commands Ollie. ” Shelly Weldon obediently ties the shoes of her master, Mark Wieger. Jean Fogarty and Cindy Gray col- lect money from the Teen Corps Walk. BPH8 Initiates Teen Corps The Teen Corps, new to BPHS, carried out many improve- ment projects in Belle Plaine dur- ing the past school year. These included shoveling snow, raking leaves, sponsoring a bottle drive on Earth Day and participating in a Teen Corps Walk. The Teen Corps also ran a book store in which they sold used books at a discount price. The bookworms swarm to the TC bookstore. Cheap, cheap, cheap, is the TC bookstore attendants plea. 18 Passing time at the Student Council dance. Money Floods The Clubs The Donkey Basketball Game, which was sponsored by the Paper Staff, proved to be a great bene- fit to the staff and the audience. The faculty and public partici- pated by riding donkeys and try- ing to gain two points by making a basket. The Student Council again sponsored their spring dance which drew a large crowd. The music was provided by an alumnus, Chuck Redman, and his band, The Union Hill Poverty Band. At this dance the Council eased their regulations and permitted the freshmen to attend. 19 Boy, and these people think we're dumb!! Spring Activities Two highlights of spring were the Senior Class Trip and the Athletic Banquet. The seniors spent their last Friday touring the Grain Exchange and the Lutheran Brotherhood in downtown Minne- apolis. After a hard morning, most ate at the Sweden House, but a few patronized a local Burger King. The Athletic Banquet, held on May 20, was sponsored by the Jay- cees to honor the lettermen and cheerleaders. Six of Belle Plaine's most distinguished seniors take a break from their lunch at Burger King. Do you mean to tell me that after twelve years it ends like this?!? 20 Conclude Successful Year Rick Bigaouette accepts his Outstanding Senior Athlete award.

Juniors Reflect Wonderland” Theme Waiting for the band equip- ment to arrive, going out to din- ner, and getting home too late characterized the 1971 Prom. Under the guidance of Mr. McBride, the juniors spent many long nights painting the murals, assembling hedges, and putting up decorations. The juniors de- veloped the theme Through the Looking Glass in ALICE IN WONDERLAND style. The gym was decorated in green and yellow and toadstools adorned the center. The girls walked through a mirror and met their dates at the bottom of the stairs to begin the Grand March. Jean Fogarty and her date Randy Velishek led the March. Music was provided by YOUR MOTHER. Many couples stopped for a break during the prom festivities. Couples gather to listen to the music of YOUR MOTHER.

Organizations And Activities Pop Machine Is Latest Council Addition The 1970-71 Student Council was led by President Denny Riesgraf, Vice-President Denny Murphy, Secretary Betty Balk, and Treasurer Marty Willson. One of the main accomplishments of the council this year was the addition of a pop machine located in the outer lobby. An- other addition to the Student Council itself was that of a Ways and Means” Committee which assists the council on details which need more study. An example of the work this committee does is deciding on the Christmas program. The committee decided, with the consent of the students, to have a full-length movie for the program. This year the movie was Cool Hand Luke”. The council also sponsored a dance on April 30 at which the Union Hill Poverty Band” provided the entertainment. Traditional council events this year included student government day and birthday calendar sales. President Denny Riesgraf and Vice-President Denny Murphy gaze fondly at their new pop machine.

Annual Adds Pages The annual staff made two major changes in the 1971 T1GER1AN. The staff increased the T1GER1AN by eight pages and also introduced full color and color tinted pictures. A new activity the 1970-71 staff also participated in was the selling of birthday calendars. The An- nual Autograph Party at which the 1970 Tigerians were distrib- uted was held in October. The section editors attended a work- shop on layouts and designs at Gustavus Adolphus College. The staff also increased in size which helped everybody make their deadlines. 29 BACK ROW: D. Edberg, B.

Reporters Bring In Donkeys This year the paper staff's ex- penses were financed through many projects. A donkey basketball game, held April 2 to a standing room only crowd, enabled towns- people and faculty members to display their donkey riding skills. Also, the staff sponsored their traditional fall car wash. The Paper Staff edited six issues of the Tiger Topics . The 1970-71 co-editors of the Tiger Topics were Susan Stringer and Nancy Soller. 30 Q And 9 Produces Magazine The Quill and Scroll was con- cerned mainly with producing a student magazine. The entire magazine consisted of material written by the student body. Another continuing project was carried through the 1970-71 year of Quill and Scroll. This project was updating the addresses and personal data of the classes of 1961.1968.1969, and 1970. Biweekly meetings were held at the members homes and a meal was prepared for each of these meetings. Nancy Soller samples some of Bob Huber's gourmet cooking. BACK ROW: J. Fogarty, D. Riesgraf, B.

An always pop- ular activity was photography, with boys learning to take and develop negatives and to print and develop pictures. A number of the physics exercises involved learning how to use new apparatus and perfecting some of the tech- niques involved in taking meas- urements. Some chemistry ac- tivities included producing liquid light and forming some plastics. Preparations for a number of biology exercises were made by the Science Club members. T. Zurn and D.

A great deal of time was spent in preparing for the recording of various Christmas hymns by KTOE, putting on the annual Christmas and Spring concerts, and organizing a new group called The Young Americans. ” The rest of the year was spent in preparation for the District 13 choral contest held at Montgomery on April 20, which was well worth the students' efforts. One soloist, a madrigal group, and a boys quartet each received a star for their performances. Receiving a star for his solo was Scott Mel- chior singing Panis Angelicus accompanied by Lynn Dahlquist. The boys quartet singing Standing in the Need of Prayer also advanced to the state contest.

Students Help Out In Library The members of the Library Club proved very helpful through- out the school year to Mr. Calla- han and also to other students. By performing several library tasks, such as working in the periodical room and checking out books, they gained a basic concept of library operations and an insight into the organizational system of the li- brary. The club also had their hands full replacing the many books that the students misplaced while using the facilities of the library. The Library Club concluded its year by having a picnic at Minneopa State Park in Mankato. Following the picnic, they went to a show in Mankato. BACK ROW: L. McConnell, M. Soller, J. Crosby, M.

Students Present Comedy The Solid Gold Cadillac, a comedy triumph of good over evil, was presented to the students of BPHS. The play centered around a little old lady, Mrs. Partridge, who was completely against the evil and greedy Board of Directors of a large American corporation. Because Mrs. Partridge was a minor stockholder in the company, she took it upon herself to make sure the corporation was run hon- estly. The Board of Directors decided to give her a do-nothing job, thinking this would keep her busy. As they soon found out, she was not to be put off this easily. The play was directed by Mr. McBride. Bob Huber points out: Is it swimming suits we're selling or swimming pools? Jeanne Fogarty entertains her physically fit boss, Scott Melchior. All My Sons Presented To The Public BACK ROW: D.

Eight girls cheered for the basketball and wrestling seasons. The cheer- leaders sponsored their annual Snowball dance with music sup- plied by the Griffin on April 19, 1970. The gym was decorated keeping the spirit of winter in mind. Great school spirit is displayed by our cheerleaders and mascot as they cheer our undefeated Tigers on to another victory. 49 Athletics 51 BOTTOM ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Steve Haefner, Dave Ed berg, Dave Eischens, Wayne Hillstrom, Dave Witt, Tom Redman, Denny Riesgraf, Chris Weldon, Rob Elder, Don Edberg.

Belle Plaine Tigers Win Conference Title The determined Tigers finally broke a 50 year jinx by winning their first championship, with an 8-0-1 season. After winning their first two non-conference games of the year by lopsided scores: 43 to 6 over Mayer Lutheran and 42 to 6 over Waterville, the Tigers invaded Arlington to score their first win of the season 16 to 8. The Montgomery Redbirds came to Belle Plaine on Homecoming and met a fired up Tiger squad. They left with a 62 to 20 loss on their hands. The Tigers then defeated an underrated Jordon squad 14 to 8. The Tigers' big test of the season came when Le Sueur came to town. The Tigers had to settle for a 14-14 tie but were still league leaders. They then defeated the Le Center Wildcats and New Prague Trojans to become champions. Five boys were selected to the All-Conference squad: Rick Bigaouette, Tom Redman, Dave Win, Dennis Riesgraf and Rob Elder. Dennis Riesgraf made the Minneapolis Tribune All-State team and Dave Witt made the WCCO All- State Team. ABOVE: Montgomery Redbird backs off as Donnie Edberg moves in to make final block.

A lack of teamwork combined with mental letdown led to the teams down- fall. The Tigers' four wins came against Jordan (twice) Le Center, and Farmington. The Tigers seemed to come to life in the first New Prague game. The Tiger Cagers gave all the power they had but went down 43 to 40. But the Tigers never could keep it going and ended up with a losing season. District 13 play-offs started with Belle Plaine defeating St. Peter. Then they met a strong Le Sueur team in the Quarter finals and were defeated. The Tigers placed one man on the coveted All Conference squad: Senior Co-Captain Tom Redman who had a 13 point average. Bruce Volek also received honorable mention.

Being fairly strong in all the weights, the matmen finished up with a 10 win. 2 tie, 2 loss record, taking a very close second in the conference. The team started off the first half of the season with strong wins over Watertown, Shakopee, and Le Center, and two ties with Prior Lake and Le Sueur. The second half of the season started off with the Forest Lake Invi- tational tournaments. At the tournament Denny Buesgens placed first and Terry Buesgens came up with a second to help Belle Plaine finish with a fifth place. The rest of the season Belle Plaine only saw two losses—both to Norwood. Rick Edberg and Denny Buesgens made all-conference with Terry Buesgens and Steve Haefner receiving honorable mention. In the District Tournament Rick Edberg took first place and Belle Plaine advanced three other wrestlers to the regions: Denny Riesgraf, Don Edberg and Terry Buesgens ended up with third place. In doing so, Belle Plaine gained 13 points, the largest score the matmen have ever reached in region competition. Dave Witt proves he's the better man during conference action. B. P. grappler Rick Edberg puts his man in pinning position once again! 57 Tiger Tallies Diamond Men Find Tough Going The Diamondmen of 71 found it hard going toward the end of the sea- son, after starting out well with wins over Prior Lake, Henderson and Waconia. They then lost a close one to Shakopee 5-4. They were on their winning ways again until they met Le Sueur, when the B. P. pitching staff blew up and the Tigers came away with a 14-3 loss. With three conference games left, the Tigers were only able to win one. They lost the other two games to two very strong teams-New Prague and Arlington. The District Playoffs came and they started out with a big win against Henderson 16-0. Then in the second game they met the champions-to- be, Arlington, and were defeated 5-0. Rob Elder was the only BP to make A11-Conference, but Mark Wieger and Dave Witt made Honorable Mention.

Trackmen Net Six Wins The 1971 Cindermen coached by Dale Pudlitzke and Roy Hen- derson finished with a most im- pressive season. They won six of ten triangular and quadrangular meets and came in second in the other four. The Trackmen traveled to four Relays in 71; they were the Farmington Relays, the Burnsville Lions Relays, Bloomington Trackorama, and the New Prague Grass Relays. Strong competition was met at the Burnsville and Bloomington Relays, and the Cindermen found it hard placing. The Trackmen placed fourth in the Conference Meet with 44 points and fifth in the District with 21 points. The Sprint Medley Relay was composed of Randy Wolpern, Gary Nagel, Rick Edberg, and Rick Busch. From the District, the cindermen were able to send six men to the Region. They were Miler Dave Westeoff, who placed third, Half-Miler Denny Murphy who placed second, and also the members of the Sprint Medley Relay for their second place effort. The Team's top point getters were Bruce Volek with 93 points, Gary Nagel with 89 points, and Ken Meger with 74 points. 61 Gertrude Halloran and Nancy Kornder demonstrate guard and forward tactics during basketball practice. 62 LEFT: Karen Kiewell performs high on the uneven parallel bars.

Girls Participate In Sports A new extracurricular activity, Girls Extramural Sports, was in- troduced during the 1970-71 school year. This activity proved to be very successful and it is hoped to be carried through up- coming years. The girls in grades 10 through 12 participated in volleyball, basketball, and track. In volleyball these girls managed to bring back the Dis- trict 13 Traveling Volleyball Jug which they earned by defeating Prior Lake, Jordan, New Prague, Lakeville, Le Sueur and Mont- gomery. Up, up and away! 63 Academics 65 New Principal Joins Staff Belle Plaine's new principal, Mr. Neil Keohane, was kept very busy during his first year at BPHS. A few of his duties include student accounting and cuniculum man- agement as well as cooperative work with the students and faculty. As Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Bartholow's obligations in- clude the budget, federal aid programs, and the employment of teachers with the approval of the school board. The school board for the 1970-71 school year had a great responsibility in managing the school district. Their duties in- clude making policies, delegating authority to the administration, and negotiating salaries for the teachers. Mr. Keohane checks up on the day’s absentees. 66 Gene Meyer stops in to say a few pleasant words to Mr. Keohane.

Mr. Keohane and Dr. Bartholow discuss school policies during the noon hour. Training Prepares Students In order to succeed in future occupations, everyone must choose a vocation. To assist students, Belle Plaine includes vocational courses. These courses consist of typing, shorthand, business, in- dustrial arts, home economics, agriculture, and also included in this area is guidance counseling.

Changes And Additions Highlight Classes Humanities at Belle Plaine include French, English, history, music, art, and the library facilities which cover a wide range of areas. New additions to humanitarian courses include ear phones and record players in the library and tape players for the French classes. A new course offered to the French classes was French 111 as an extension of the pre- vious courses. English classes were mainly concerned with literary events along with grammar. History classes covered world and United States history and also current events. The music classes met daily and continually practiced for upcoming concerts and contests. Art classes studied each area of art and its history depending on what they were drawing or constructing.

Science Department Encourages Learning A wide variety of science courses are available at Belle Plaine High School. They include biology, chemistry, physics, physical science, and earth science. The math department offers advanced math, geometry, and Algebra I and II. Physical education and health help the students to know the differ- ent parts of the body and keep them in shape. School Is Serviced By Helpers Others besides faculty and administration are involved in seeing that the school is run ef- ficiently. These services include secretaries, cooks, and janitors. The school also has a full time employee in charge of the audio- visual department. LEFT TO RIGHT: School Cooks Joan Seaver, Ottilia Stier, Malinda Karnitz, Marie Stier, Betty Krentz, and Rosalie Schuneman.

Freshmen were allowed to attend the Sadie Hawkins, Sweetheart, and Student Council dances. Ninth graders also took pan in sports, with three freshmen making the A wrestling squad: Denny Buesgens, Mark Siemon, and Rob Edberg.

They just missed their goal of $4,000 with $3,600. In December the juniors ordered their class rings. After a lot of commotion it ended up that they had two class rings. The two kinds were college ovals and rectangular. The juniors finally got together and chose Through the Looking Glass” for the prom theme. Prom was held on May 15, 1971.

They proudly received their diplomas and their memories of frustrations and anger faded in their happiness at reaching one goal in their lives. Seniors of ”71 made one major change, the changing of the Home- coming Coronation from Friday afternoon to Thursday night. This was done so that more alumni could take in the festivities. The Class of 1971 was also host to the third Foreign Exchange Studept, Carsten Skude from Denmark. The Senior class officers consisted of Dave Edberg, President; Kathy Buesgens, Vice-President; Joyce Edberg, Secretary; Gerry Barlage, Treasurer; Betty Balk and Bill Huber, Student Council representatives.

Each student of BPHS hopes to successfully reach the goal he sets for himself at the beginning of the year. We, too, set out to ac- complish a particular purpose. Our goal was to show what BPHS is and does each year. Our thanks go to each and every person who helped us meet this challenge, especially our advisor, Miss An- derson, the section editors, our school photographers, and the students who helped until the an- nual was completed. Special thanks go to Huneke Studios of Waseca for their in- valuable assistance, Taylor Publishing Company, and the businessmen who made this an- nual possible by their contribu- tions. 1971 Tigerian Staff CO-EDITORS: Mary Moody Chris Weldon STUDENT LIFE: ORGANIZATIONS: Lynn Dahlquist AND ACTIVITIES: Kathy Ott ATHLETICS: Denny Murphy Barb Flyn ACADEMICS: Gerry Barlage UNDERCLASSMEN: Barb Flynn SENIORS Betty Balk BUSINESS MANAGER: Scott Melchior PHOTOGRAPHERS: Lynn Zellman Bill Diers Dave McConnell ADVISOR: Miss Beth Anderson
