COLORS: RED WHITE 15 FLOWER: ROSE OUR HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 12 YEARS We were wild and wooly in those first seven years of school, especially in 3rd and 4th grade. Those years were really tough, for Mrs. Herberg, that is. She had to tie John Meyen and Darwin James in their chairs with nylons to make them stay in one place. Also John Meyen experimented with electricity by sticking a wire in the plug-in to see what happens, he found out. Mrs. Herberg also had a paddle that had excellent uses. Brian Agar also showed the ability to be a fighter. He displayed his talent by breaking a window with his fist. One of the boys favorite pastimes was looking down Mrs. Herberg's dress when asking fake questions. Our art skills were first shown in Kindergarten. So what if we colored our apples black, our parents still liked the picture anyway. We also learned the Stop! Look! Listen! technique at street corners. But when we got on the push cart, we didn't care to Stop! Look! or Listen! When we learned to write back in Kindergarten and 1st grade, we didn't know what the consequences would be in the future. Everytime we did something wrong and got caught in 2nd grade, Mrs. Nelson made us write sentences. After studying the Geography of the United States in 4th grade, we sent away for pen pals, some of which are still in contact with. Chairs were a topic of everyday life in 2nd grade. Mrs. Nelson insisted we didn't quite know how to sit on them. Rocking on the back chair legs meant an uncomfortable sitting place for the day-on the floor. Tony Bimbaum rocked on his chair too many times, for most of the year he had to use a hard wooden chair. Talk about flat buns! We can't forget about our 6th grade teacher, Mr. Zinter. Her always got so mad at us if we didn't get our assignments done on time. He also showed us how clumsy he could be. During our milk break he slipped on some milk and fell flat on the floor! DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN: The girls picked up the milk cups while the boys picked up the dresses? A large X on your hand meant you were immune to certain people's germs? When Gerry Bartz kicked out the glass in the door during recess? Mr. Zinter's temper tantrums? The math speed tests in Mrs. Herberg's room? 16 We began to make our everlasting stand when we started High School in 1972. That year water was a big thing. Not every class flooded the sinks in the Art room so the water would drip into the Shop room down below. We even got our Art teacher, Miss Aanstad, to sit on a water balloon. Also Lori Dusing flicked some Lilacs that were soaked with water in Mr. McClintock's face. Talk about wet teachers! High School meant the time for exploring. In 7th grade we went to the old cemetary looking for Sam Brown's grave. We never did find it. Exploring also took place on the stage, sometimes that was where most of the activity was found during noon hour. But the best places of all were behind the Church and at the gravel pit, where we set up our own fort. Tenth grade meant Biology. We disected worms, grasshoppers, and starfish. Marge McLane did a little more disecting. During a movie she accidently pulled the water faucet off the sink. It was really a wild hour, with water gushing out and students running all over. Nobody, including Mr. Guyer, knew what to do. After that incident we started haveing field trips outside to classify plants. I wonder why? Basketball was big news for our grade. Our 7th grade Boy's team lost only one game! And in 9th grade the girls got their first taste of Basketball. Boy were their uniforms something else that first year! They wore purple T-shirts, white tank tops and cut offs. But playing basketball wasn't the only exercise we could get. Tackle Tag was also very famous. Mr. Dittbemer also kept us exercising. Punishment for talking out of turn in his class meant doing pushups on the floor. But when we were exceptionally good we got out of class and played softball. Other things to be remembered include the GAA initiation. I wonder if Peg Paulson still likes to wear leolards. Remember when we wrapped up Tony Birnbaum and Lori Dusing with bandages for practice while studying First Aid in Health? What about those nice massages Mr. Guanella used to give us before sending us to the office? And last but not least, being the slowest class in BVHS history. That includes the floats, decorating the gym, and not finishing the Annual in time.

Sponsoring the prom was the class of 1978, then Juniors. Host and hostess, Mike Volk and Stacy LeClair, started the festivities on that partly cloudy Saturday. The banquet was first on the agenda. The meal was prepared by the Junior mothers, with Mrs. Orval Kuschel as chairman. Roast turkey was the main dish. Serving the meal were waiters and waitresses, members of the Sophomore class. Entertainment during the banquet was furnished by Sue Jung, who played MacArthur Park as a piano solo. Also Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer sang Could it be Magic as a vocal duet. Following the banquet was the dance, held in the gym. The gym was decorated by the Junior class. Backdrops were set up and decorated with a Geometric Sunset . With a variety of colors, the Geometric Sunset gave a dramatic effect of movement. Black and yellow streamers were strung to the middle of the gym ceiling, where a mirrored ball hung. In the gym an archway was constructed and placed over a water fountain. Karl Wolk, Todd Hoffman, Carol LeClair, and Sue Pistorius assisted at the punch stand. Music was proved by The Boys , a Twin Cities band. The evening was a memorable event not to be forgotten, but to be dreamed upon. 51 CARNIVAL 77 Because of the fine band mother's organiza- tion they were able to put on another successful carnival. With the help of the band students the evening was one enjoyed by all. Activities in- cluded a cake walk, a jail, and the most popu- lar, a sponge throw. The sponge throw was one of the only legitimate ways students could get revenge on their teachers. Entertainment in- cluded the Sweet Adelines and the boy's en- semble. The money made by the carnival went into the band fund for future uses. BAND ACTION Due to the hard work of the band members and Mr. Mortimer, the band year was another successful one. In the spring of 1977 they traveled to Morris for small group contest and came back with 26 district superiors. At large group contest they got a district superior but at state contest received only 2 out of 4 stars which wasn't enough for a state superior. The band had a number of good concerts. They performed some of them at the Nursing Home so they could enjoy the music. The band entered the marching competition at the Minnesota State Fair. The routine they performed en- titled them to a 5th place trophy and $100 prize money. At Homecoming they marched in the parade and put their routine on for the people of the com- munity. The band sold candy this fall for a fund-raiser. The band is hoping to take another trip soon and die mon • will be used then. The Sr. band members would like to express our ap- preciation to Mr. Mortimer for being our band director for the last four years. Thank you for the good times we've had and shared. L. to R.

C BAND Last September the Marching Band participated in the Marching Band Competition at the Minnesota State Fair. We parcticed in the mornings and evenings, sometimes 6 times a week. Our routine was done to the songs of Superstar and Temptation . It consisted of different types of diagonals, block bank formations, and double beat steps, which made the routine unique. After a month of hard practiced the band presented the routine at the fair. We returned home exhausted, with fifth place honors and $100 ot prize money. MARCHING BAND Left to right.

The old favorites of volleyball, ping pong, tumbling, wrestling, and cards were also enjoyed. Everyone had a good time and the party was a huge success.

This year's annual staff found time in their busy schedules to put in many hours of work on the annual. To start the activities and business of the organization the staff sold ads. High salesmen, Tony and Rita each recieved a free annual. From ad sales money we were able to afford a new tele-photo lens for the school camera. Our goals were to make an unique annual and to make all of our deadlines. Because of our innumerable snowstorms this year we missed our first 3 deadlines, but the publishing company made some exceptions. We hope that you readers will enjoy this annual and that the underclassmen who will be making the future annuals will get a similar sense of accomplishment for their efforts.

With the advancement of women's sports, the Girl's Letter Club was formed in 1976. Due to the possibility of not treating the 2 seperate clubs equally, this year they were united into one club. The newly formed club is a different kind of advancement for the school. The future of this new club looks to be very promising. Of course, one must go out for sports to be eligible for the Letter Club, further requirements are based on the coach s discre- tion. The Plot The House on Whaleshead Rock was a three act mystery play about three students and a teacher who went on a sightseeing trip to an island, which was said to be haunted. On their way to the haunted house, they noticed their boat was drifting away. They were stranded on the island for the night. While lishening to the radio, it was discovered that 3 escaped convicts were last seen in the vicinity of Whaleshead Rock. Several strange things happen on the island, one was, the ghosts actually helped the students and teacher capture the convicts. It was a thrill for all involved. 4 LIGHTS Shawn O'Leary Randy Madison Terry Miller MAKE-UP Anita Schildt Sherry Torgerson Sue Pistorius Dianne Madison STAGE CREW Kevin O'Leary Gerry Bartz G;� ry Smith Mike Heck Jeff Peters STUDENT DIRECTOR Debbie Schwagel DIRECTOR Jan Lively CAST Narrator................Debbie Schwagel Mr. Wallace.............Tony Birnbaum Miss Thornborough ....

CHEERLEADERS Elaine Kuschel, Rita Des, Lisa Sykora, Carol LeClair, Marge McLane Boys Try Hard Despite Problems The 1977 Football Season had it's share of ups and downs. The team finished the year with a record of 3 wins and 6 losses. The season began with a close fought defeat at the hands of the Hancock Owls. Neither team looked ready to play. In the next five games the T-Birds showed themselves to be a contender. We soundly beat Clinton, Bellingham, and Milan. We came out on the losing end in a snow bowl, which could have gone either way, to C-T. The season came to a dreary end. With all of the opening enthusiasm gone, the team lost the last three games of the season. The highlight of the year was the fantastic Homecoming victory over Bellingham. This was the first Homecoming win in eight years and it will be remembered for a long time. Some stats for the year: Rushing Yards Attempts Average Peterson 111 419 3.7 yds. Sykora 114 298 2.6 yds.

COACHES AND CAPTAINS SEASON HAS HIGHS AND LOWS Being a first year team, the Valley didn't know what kind of competition they were up against. The 1st match was against Campbell-Tintah; the Valley showed talent, however they lost. Second match of the season had the T-Birds contending against Chokio-Alberta. Defeating the Spartans in 2 games, the Valley had a 1 S 1 record. In one of the next two matches, the T-Birds were at a disadvantage, losing 2 games in overtime. Bump-set-spike, the Valley showed consistant play against the Hancock Owls. With the Valley winning 2 of the last four matches and losing 1 match with an overtime, the end of the season proved to be exciting. The girls finished the season with a record of 3 wins and 6 losses, and were rated 7th in the district. First round of district action had the Thunder- birds competing against Chokio-Alberta. Chokio- Alberta showed to be a tough contender. In the first game the Spartans defeated the Thunderbirds by the score of 18-11. The Valley proved to have spirit and came back to defeat the Spartans in the last two games to win the match 2-1. Second round of action the girls played against 1st rated Breckenridge, who proved itself an experi- enced team, defeating the T-Birds in the first 2 games of the match. This game ended the volley- ball season for the T-Birds. Not only the A squad showed great ability in overcoming problems and difficulties. The B squad had a winning year, ending with a record of 5 wins and 4 losses. They showed great potential for a first year team. The team displayed the capacity of operating in unfavorable circumstances. Hardships that occured included having a number of injuries and being reduced in size. The teams showed ex- cellent potential and talent for future years. The teams found that after hard practices and some frustrating games it took a team working together to win.

After those 2 wins the T-Birds lost the next pair to the Starbuck Bucks and Clinton Rockets. Then they went onto defeat Rosholt, giving them a record of 3 wins and 2 losses. Hollowing a loss to C-T, the Thunderbirds started a winning streak. They won the next 3 games substantially, over Graceville, Beardsley, and Bellinghram but were stopped by C-A. After the defeat by the Spartans, they started the winning all over again, this time being victorious over New Effington, Beardsley, Clinton, and Hancock. At this point with a record of 10 wins and 4 losses, the boys had to play a series of tough contenders before the end of the season. The competition proved to be tough. We finnished regular season play with a record of 10 wins and 8 losses, the T-Birds had to play against Beardsley for the first round of action. The game was close and exciting, with the T-Birds defeating the Mustangs 66-50. This win lead the Valley to contend against Hoffman for the second round of action. The game against Hoffman was a disappointing one, with the T-Birds losing by 1 point. This game ended one fan- tastic Boys Basketball Season. “C” TEAM BASKETBALL The C-Squad boys basketball team was made up of 6 seventh graders and 6 eighth graders. The team was well balanced in its ability to rebound, shoot, and play defense. They exhibited a lot of hustle throughout the year which enabled them to finish with a winning record. With many hours of sand lot basketball, this team will develop into conference con- tenders in their high school years.

The C-A Spartans provided a tough 1st game for the season, as the T-Birds suffered a 2 point loss. After that loss to C-A the girls started a winning streak. The first victory wras against Beardsley, and the second was against Graceville. The first game after Christmas vacation made the Thunderbirds a little shaky, but they pulled through and defeated the Starbuck Bucks by 16 points. After victories over Wheaton and Herman, the Valley had a 5 wins and 1 loss record. The 8th game of the season the girls were able to sneak by the Hancock Owls with a 1 point victory. After the Hancock victory the girls added to their winning streak with victories over the Clinton Rockets and Graceville Shamrocks. The T-Birds were worried about their next game with the unpredictable Morris, but they pulled through, defeating the Tigers by 14 points. Next game was against Wheaton, who were ready to seek revenge on the girls because of their previous loss to the Thunderbirds. The girls defeated the Warriors a second time. After that victory they defeated Beardsley, also a second time. The record at this time of the season was 11 wins and 1 loss. The rest of the season promises to be as successful as the first part. The T-Birds have yet to play Clinton, Milan, and C-T. To finish the season off, the girls were rated 4th in the District, with their first playoff game against Hoffman. SENIOR PEG: Her Most Memorable Event was when they played Herman and she shot from half court and made it. MARGE: Her Most Memorable Event happened when she was in 9th grade.

Namely to win the Pheasant Conference Trophy for the best B-squad record. Another goal is to finish the season undefeated, which of course would en- sure their trophy. (This is being written when half the season is overwith. ) The team is comprised of 5 sophomores, 4 freshmen, 3 eighth graders, and 2 seventh graders. The team shows excellent potential, and the rest of the season promises to be as superb as the first half.

After alot of tough breaks, with grades, and injuries the team had a successful season. The new coaches had a big influence on the team-getting a team spirit, improving their techiniques and moves, and many other things. Since the team will lose one Senior, next year it will have the experience needed for another successful season. The Wrestling Squad would like to express their appreciation to the Wrestling Promotion Club for presenting the school with the Video Tape Machine and other equipment. Everything has helped to improve our team.

The next 2 games had the Valley at a downfall, with the T-Birds losing both games, one by only 2 points. The Valley proved itself a contender by coming back to win the next 2 games with neither opponent being able to score. Our luck ran out towards the end of the season. The T-Birds ended the season with the record of 3 wins and 6 losses.
