Get T-d-u-g-h 5h(W c rri Vow 5tuff This life is yours Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature Take the power to control your own life No one else can do it for you Take the power to make your life happy -Susan Polis Schutz 4 _ _ jeW-V Seniors G ! t December danu Of T r.3 o The Class of '80 has a very special touch upon them. Many memories this year were made to last, but the people within the class are what made up 79-'80 memories. Because of all their special qualities, the entire class grew closer. Friendships became stronger, and new friendships formed. School spirit flourished this year. Class pride was evident throughout the seniors. The beginning of a decade brought an awareness of the changes to come in each class members' life. Life brought its changes just as surely as the seasons change. Behind all these changes, though, the capacity for each senior to simply experience remained, and hopefully will remain, great. In recognition of the special, unique people of the Class of '80, from one personality to its opposite, is this yearbook put forth. 5 diversity Class Motto: What Lies Behind Us And What Lies Before Us Are Tiny Matters Compared To What Lies Within Us. -Ralph Waldo Emerson Class Colors: Navy Blue And Ivory Class Flower: Red Rose SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: (I to r) President-Dana Buttenhoff.

Dear Young Friend Just enough EXPERIENCE seasoned with heartache so that you can separate dreams from illusions ... DENIAL touched with indifference so that you will al- ways try harder — struggle just a little more — to reach your goal, or to taste victory .. HARD WORK — lots of it — so that you might grow blisters on you hands but not on your attitudes DEFEAT, occasionally, in order that your backbone may be stiffened and your emotional muscles strengthened . . NEED so that you will never be afraid to reach out to others for help, nor will fail to comprehend that others may have need of you ... FRUSTRATION in order that you will have to begin again, to pick up the shattered pieces and know what it is to have to start over . . FEAR: fear to competition, fear of weakness, and fear of failure so that you will always avoid being the de- structive B's — boastful, blase', and bored .. FAITH so that you will wrap yourself in God as your security blanket, and will never fail to acknowledge the Stars and Stripes as your status symbol .. No, I have not offered you the easy path, nor have I tossed out pretty phrases to compliment or win you. But then, friendship is telling it like it is. And life is made of these things I have offered you. The test is whether you can take it or not! — Basilla E.

The format of a democratic system has been carried down from our federal government into our state systems, and from there into a local level — present in city governments, clubs, schools, and even our homes Dassei-Cokato High School has continued this democratic lifestyle through the Student Council Members are elected by the majority vote of their classmates. Discussion and votes are held on issues coming up before the council. Just as our government representatives do. the council members try to voice the feelings of the students through their votes During the course of this year, the Student Council has done many things They organized homecoming week, got the administration to play music during lunch hour, planned a ski trip on semester break day. and organized a petition that was sent to the American Embassy in Iran and to President Carter supporting any stand the U.S. takes in the Iranian crisis. The Student Council is not just another organization involving a small percent of the student body, but an organization in which each student of D-C can play a part by voicing their interests, concerns, and opinions on issues concerning them. In fact, it is the duty of each of us to learn the ways of democracy so we can continue the American tradition of a free life for which our forefathers hoped, fought, and died It is our duty to keep democracy alive STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS: (I to r) Treasurer-Alan Gilmer.

This group includes six school board members, special because they have been elected to their position by the people of Dassel and Cokato and also because their main objective for serving in this capacity is to keep high educational standards for the students of D-C. A number of issues come up each year in which each board member must make his stand for what he believes will best suit the people of District 466. A group willing to make changes and to grow with the times is d'c goar(j[ of Education JOHN CRAYFORD JOHN HANNUS DALE HULTGREN Treasurer Director Clerk M RUSSELL JOHNSON Chairman MORRIS LATT Vice-Chairman ORLAND NELSON Director JAMES TORBERT DAVID ERICKSON PAUL THOMAS STEPHEN BENSON Superintendent Business Manager H.S. Principal Asst. H.S. Principal Life at D-C couldn’t run as smoothly as it does if it weren’t for The Administration These people work directly with the students each day to make decisions regarding school life, class scheduling, future plans, and other areas. The administration must also work with and for the teachers in co-ordinating class schedules and arranging opportunities for educational growth. Supervision of the entire school system is a big part of the responsibility of the administration. F.

To keep records in order, to give aid to teachers and students, and to have organization within the school system would not be possible without the work done on the part of these individuals.

OASSEtCO a new beginning The Chargers put a good team effort forth and came out of the 79-80 season with a 5 win-4 loss record. Some of the games lost to other tough, top-conference teams were close, and could have gone the Charger way with a little more luck. Nineteen seniors led the forty-three member team coached by Mr. Ernst and Mr. Holje. The future looks promising for the boys on the gridiron with some tough lettermen returning and a strong freshmen team coming up the ranks.

The people were members of Friends of Foreign Students enjoying an evening at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre seeing the musical Carousel. This was just one of the many activities shared by the foreign students and some of their D-C friends. Friendship is what this organization is all about. Get-togethers give our foreign students a chance to meet new friends and have a good time with them, and for us, the locals, to get to better know the exchange students. They have a lot to offer through sharing their diverse cultures and language with us. Jon, Raul, Paivi, and Rocky helped to make '79-'80 Rocky always brought fun, new games to play. Four years ago. an organization was created at D-C with the help of Scott Novotne. now a former teacher. This year, the organization has experienced a re-birth after a lapse over the past few years. Forever Flicks, Inc. has three faculty advisors: Mr. Klaassen, Mr. Kowalik, and Mr. Esser. The group members elected chairpersons to head committees necessary to keep the show running smoothly. Producer is John Bjork. Tim Verhey is in charge of the technical aspects, and concessions are the responsibility of Therese Weber. Jim Brown and Nanette Severson head the publicity department.

Future Homemakers of America are expanding their horizons through education and involvement, and are daring to determine their futures through assertiveness gained from belonging to an organization such as FHA. The chapter project for '79-'80 is diabetes and members learn about his topic to help them grow as individuals. Exciting activities are planned throughout the year, including sponsoring a holiday boutique, having a pizza party, selling “cookie-grams at Valentines Day, and running after-school bake sales.

Coach Hagen did a great job setting up their strategy. All the players put forth a good effort and worked hard. This year was a rebuilding year for the team and high hopes are in store for next season. There were a lot of little spikers who built up their experience during the 79-80 season.

For the third consecutive year, Elaine Cole (at left) advanced to the State Swim Meet. She had her best showing this year, placing 4th over-all in the iOO free and 7th over-all in the 200 I.M.

The tradition of travel points to this fact. Aside from learning about history, science, and the arts through visiting museums and general interest points on their trip to Chicago, members also had a great time. Learning can be fun. The honor society has four letters in their national emblem. These are all considered by the group of faculty in selecting new members. C, S, L, and S represent character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Once one is chosen for membership, it is usually for life. Planning the induction program, playing Uno, the Spam game, charades with Mr. Peterson, and singing in the bus bathroom all make NHS memories. Officers Vice-President-Mcry Alice Holm.

The Boys’ Swim Team was very small in numbers this year, but big in effort. Lacking depth for entries in races, they found it hard to compete against the bigger teams and come away as victors.

Mr. Anderson, director, spent a lot of time teaching new exercises to his choirs. He has also spent a lot of time getting grief from his choir members over the years. Constant joking seems to be typical in choir. The Concert Choir and Sophomore Choir put on four programs over the course of a year as well as singing at contest in the spring. Twice a year the junior high choirs present concerts. On top of all this, preparation is made for individuals singing at spring contests. The music makers are busy all year.

They made a good showing though, keeping the D-C debate tradition of competing with the toughest teams in the state. Though the debate team was small this year, they worked hard to achieve their goals. Taking a break from their work are Colleen Whalen, Coach Kowalik, and Mark Holm. The D-C.

Numbering nearly 50, the declam team continued the D-C winning tradition. They competed in many pre-season tournaments with consistent successes. The regular season began with the first annual D-C Alumni Speech Invitational, which was termed a great success. Many close friendships were made this year within the team. A lot of credit for this goes to Mrs. Kleven, the head coach. With her cheery letters and her talents and abilities, she kept everyone's spirits high. Mrs. Ahlbrecht, Mrs. Teske, Mrs. Thalberg, Mr. Heinitz, and Mr. Kowalik share in the coaching job. Jr High Deciam (I to r) Front- M. Lundeen. B. Forsberg. R. Johnson. S. Shoutz. S. Erickson. J.

Mr. Cox worked all day at the hatting industry, then came home at night; Mr. Box worked all night at the printing press, then came home during the day. Bouncer cunningly rented her flat at full price to both men. It was hard though, because she had to re-arrange each one's possessions twice a day. Everything was going well un JI Mr. Box received a holiday from his job. He came home to find another man in his flat. Things go from there. It turns out that both have been engaged to the same woman, and the ultimate of coincidences — Box and Cox are brothers. Mr. Heinitz directed this one-act, which advanced to regional competion, placing third there Mr. Box, played by Jim Anderson, was understudied by Jim Johnson. Jim Brown understudied Mr. Cox, the character or Shawn Carpenter. Shelley Kuefner played the part of Mrs. Bouncer and she was understudied by Connie Isaacson. 125 SPRING ’ a conclusion The Madwoman Of Chaillot Top left-Jon Young portrays the character.

A new beginning Commencement was a new beginning for the 122 seniors that left this school to start on the next step of the journey into their futures. Where this step takes them will be varied and will only be a small part of the total journey. Their motto shows they were thinking about this change when they quoted John Denver: Can I tell you I'm happy to be here. To share and consider this time ? For I see here the shadow of changes.
