Feelings for the future . . . The vibrant class of '78, Has had quite an exciting fate. When we look into the future you soon will see, What each of them turned out to be. Lou Anne Miller, as you can see. Has her business school degree. She married a guy from Wayne State. 1 heard her say it was love the first date. Trigger and Betty is a new T.V. show. And Tim’s little kids sit all in a row, Watching the trials of their mom and dad. As they shoot up the guys that are bad. Rex Kuhn’s as busy as a wolf in his lair. He doesn’t ever have a moment to spare. The girls follow Lunar waiting for a chance. For one long night filled with romance. The hogs were rooting in the old farm yard. Where old farmer Dennis keeps up his guard. He's got a young son and a hillbilly wife. And he’ll be contented the rest of his life. Kathy, whose stay in Clarks was so short. Is now a stenographer in a high court. By the judge she sits away up high. Watching cute guys and winking her eye. Who's that walking so proud and tall? It’s Marilyn Zoucha and her basketball. When she's not playing with the pro’s. She keeps women libers on their toes. Why that’s Ned Wemhoff coming this way. He's become a famous artist, so they say. He paints in the day light and polkas at night. And all of the girls think he's out of sight. On the dusty, old road, we see go by, Tom Pickrel’s truck, flying by. On the C.B., he’s known as Big Red, Telling all in his way to look out ahead! Now look who just happened to drop in. It’s Marge Church, who’s been visiting her kin. She’s so busy with her family life. She enjoys cooking and being a wife. Most of the farming land around here. Was bought by one we all hold dear. Kurt Kuhn is a most famous farmer. And also with ladies, a definite charmer. Working with electricity and all of it’s sparks. He turns on the girls and opens their hearts. Now Chris, you see, will give you the light. He turns on his smile and makes your life bright. That’s Gae Johnson in her rocking chair. Yes, she’s the one with the pretty brown hair. She’s known all over, from coast to coast. For the tenderest way of making her roast. Lu is a jockey, in the big time races. And she'll pul a smile on everyone’s faces. With her speed and also her style. She’ll be in headlines for quite awhile. Jim Dankelson is known in the big headlines. For he’s now a racer, with the greatest times. Also, with women he’s known for his speed. So, all you single gals, be sure to take heed. Terry Lippstreu, who is known for his brains. Took a short-cut to success and is in chains. Says Terry, Counterfeit money gives me a thrill; All 1 did was goof on a five dollar bill. Riding bulls and barrel racing, Ron’s the rodeo king with 1 placing. The girls all faint when he walks by. His ten gallon hat makes him seem so high. In swings Janet a talented little star. As you all know, she has gone far. She is a star in Trigger and Betty. But her six kids keep her jumping and ready. Here comes Sharen from that big school. She was followed every golden rule. She now teaches with a Masters Degree, And her husband is as happy as he can be. A grizzly fighter is what Tad will be. Chasing big bears clear up a tree. He soon will perform on the Walt Disney Show, Where he’ll line up the bears all in a row. Kevin Miller, with his love for a beverage, Has landed a job, and has he got leverage! When we hear his deep voice, we all want to cheer. He sings T.V. commercials for Blue Ribbon beer. Linda Fleeman is cheerful and gay. For she’s awaiting her wedding day. She and Dana are soon to be married. Across the threshold she soon will be carried. Up ahead of us is a guy we all know. Why it’s Kennv, the well-known wrestling pro. He's won the Olympics — not once, but twice. And he still finds time for, Lu, his wife. There’s a new building on Clarks main street. Bob's new business is really a treat. A chief that can really do his thing. Why not try Bob’s Burger King? Dawn Van Pelt (or should we say Wanda?) Is known for crazy stunts on her super honda. We never can catch her for she’s always on the go, Taking pictures of the people we all know. Kris Boroviak, so quiet and nice. Moved to ranch country and got a nice slice. She married a cowboy with plenty of land. They ride into the sunset hand in hand. Pete Upton is now a bartender in Worms, He’d love to kiss you and give you his germs. His customers know him as Percy” and Pup , If your spirits are low, he'll boost them up. Well '78 has long been past. But to their memories they’ve held fast. Here’s hoping they'll often get together. On any occasion forever and ever. 5

Feelings of the past. . . Class History Full of dreams and anxiety, 22 little people stormed the Kindergarten for day one of what was to soon be known as “reading, writing, and arithmetic.” Among the pairs of knocking knees were: Kevin Miller, Sharen Brunken, Dawn Van Pelt, Luann Geier, Linda Fleeman, Tom Pickrel, Kurt Kuhn, Marjorie Earl, Tim Beck, Kristine Boroviak, Lou Anne Miller, Mark McNeal, Rex Kuhn, Chris Huston, Marilyn Zoucha, Gae Johnson, Jim Danklesen, Janet Wurtz, Connie Kennedy, Dallas Grause, Dennis Szatko and Dick Church. Helping us along the way for “year one was our teacher Mrs. Kivett. Our first grade teacher, Mrs. Baird helped us learn many duties. In our first grade year, we lost a friend, Marjorie Earl. Our second grade was a year full of surprises and many class projects. During this year, we learned many things — like how not to go out and play in the water. This year was also a memorable one because we made our spotted girafes. These became a point of pride for many of us. Among those learning with us came Jerry Gabriel and Robert Brandenburger. We were very sorry to see Connie Kennedy leave us. Our teacher this year was the kind-hearted Mrs. Moore. One of the most memorable activities of third grade was recess. During our third grade year, we gained as friends: Dotty Jacobi and Tad Dittmer. Our faithful leader this year was Mrs. Sundberg. Besides gaining experience our fourth grade year, we gained Kenny Rieken. Even though life seemed fairly carefree during that year, Mrs. Nepermann kept us on our toes learning all the time. Many times it was not about school, it was about ourselves. We bid a fond farewell that year to Luann Geier, still a dear friend. Excitement mounted to a fever pitch in the fifth grade. We were all anxious for a successful “Hobby Show.” With Miss Zoucha’s help, not only was the “Hobby Show a success, the whole year went splendidly. Our fifth grade year, we welcomed Michael Sliva to our group. This year we were saddened with news of the death of Mike in the summertime. In our sixth grade year. Miss Test gave a new light to the word discipline. But with discipline came respect. Miss Test not only helped us to like school, but to like ourselves. Our class size remained the same this year. With seventh grade, came the title “junior high.” We were no longer graders. In fact, Mr. Toczek informed us that we were now “young adults.” Those also gaining that new title were LuAnne Engel and Rian Botts. Dotty Jacobi left us for new responsibilities. Our sponsor for this year was Mr. Kreps. For our eighth grade graduation, Ned Wemhoff joined the ranks of those leaving “junior high. Rian Botts left before this occasion, but Mr. Kreps and Mrs. Allen helped lead us to the gates of “high school. Joining us for new experiences during our fresnman year were: Joey Grella, Ron Richards and Marge Ziemba. Our freshman year taught us many things. Like how not to get initiated, something which some never learned. We had just gained Joey, but he left us during the same year. Our sponsors helping us through this difficult year were: Mrs. Ueckert and Mr. Kreps. Our sophomore year was a pretty eventful one. During this year, we ordered our class rings. This year went by fast, but it will be one year long remembered for the many class and assignments. Joining us for a year of hard work were: Pam Kelso, Jim Pratt, Dave Mundorf and Randy Wilson. Pam, Jim, Dave, Randy and Dallas Grause left us this year. Our sponsors this year were Mr. Kreps and Mr. Anderson. Our junior year the pace quickened a bit. What with deciding on prom, it is a wonder anything else got done. But with a lot of hard work, our prom became known as one of the prettiest ever to have taken place. Our theme was “Times of Your Life. All of our work and plan ning showed to all that we had the ability to work together to accomplish a project very worthwhile. Our sponsors throughout this hard work were Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Barbour. During this year Pete Upton joined our class and Dick Church and Marge Ziemba Church left us. After waiting for thirteen years, our senior year finally came. Time passed very quickly, but the memories made will be remembered forever. New friends were: Kathy Townsend and Terry Lippstreu. Our sponsors were Mrs. Vyhlidal and Mr. F. Steinhoff. One of the most memorable nights in our life will be going to the school board to request that we be allowed to go to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, MO. The feeling of being told yes is unexplainable. To say we were happy put it very lightly. On April 14, 1978 the junior class held the annual Jr-Sr prom. Their theme was Moments to Remember. The band that played for our enjoyment was “Cottonwood. The dance lasted from 9 till 12:00. We will never be able to express our thanks to them for a fine prom. Many things, events, experiences happened this year. We like to think that we were a part of them. The greatest event happened on May 14, 1978, at 7:30 PM. Graduation. To live with and learn from so many different people, and then to have to leave them is another unex- plainable feeling. You would like to hold onto these people and feelings forever. We would like to thank everyone who ever helped us, whoever was our friends, to any one who gave us a friendly smile an encourageing word. Believe me, you will never be forgotten. This class “history is already history. After May 14, it may even be forgotten. The halls at oP Clarks High may be hollow and silent for a few months, but maybe, occasionally, if you listen very closely, you may just hear, “Wanda, Wanda!!!” T
