Brother Richard passed away in Thoreau, New Mexico. He served as principal of De La Salle from July, 1984 to July, 1987. Brother Richard had started teaching at the St. Bonaventure Indian Mission. Brother Richard started our first Advanced Placement courses. He restructured the school's fundraising program and instituted a tuition aid program. Improvements were made to the computer room, weight room, cafeteria and the overall appearance of 'A' building with the addition of a new roof, desks, chairs, and wall paneling in the skyway and lobby. To add the finishing touches, Br. Richard allowed for a new gym floor and a thorough reconstruction of the science wing in 'B' building. Brother Richard was bom in Chicago, Illinois on December eighth, 1933, and attended De La Salle Institute there. He graduated in 1951 from the La Salle Institute in Glencoe, Missouri, the Christian Brothers' novitiate. He came to Minnesota to attend St. Mary's College and finished in 1955 with a B.A. in History, minoring in English, Philosophy, Education, and Theology. He earned his masters of Arts in 1958 and completed a Ph.D. in American History at Michigan State in 1969. Brother Steven Sims FSC, principal, commented that Brother Richard was an insightful man who generally brought his goals to completion . Brother Walter Schreiner FSC, vice-principal, said He will be missed here . Brother Richard will be missed by all. — Editors of Delta 1988 and the De La Salle community.

Calculus I Professor Mr. Barry Lieske Director of Student Services Student Council Moderator WE RULE! What We Say. GOES! (sometimes) As new principal of 'De Br. Steven has quickly become a friend to the students through listening to their wants and needs. Br. Steven came in with an open mind and has shown true Islander Spirit . Br. Walter and Mr. Lieske worked closely with Br. Steven on matters dealing with the student body. Both are a part of the coaching staff along with Mr. Gorde, Recruiting and Ms. Law-son. Athletic Director. Br. Walter keeps track of all the students grades (be VERY nice to him) and schedules. Calculator in hand, Mr. Steve Pumper controls all of our money in the business office and he coaches baseball. Keeping all of them in line are the secretaries, Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Johnson, who do just about everything else that needs doing. 4 Administration Mrs. Mary Carter Secretary for Vice-Principal Mrs. Kay Johnson Secretary for Principal Ms. Bridget Lawson Athlotic Director Phy Ed 1 2 Adv.

They set the policies of the school for rules and discipline. In addition they help bring about general improvements for the school. The board consists of elected and appointed members. A couple are chosen by the Christian Brothers. OPPOSITE PAGE: So. toll mo. what makos you think YOU'RE going to graduato?

They put in hours of hard work coming up with material to teach us, making tests, and most important correcting the zillions of homework papers assigned to us every period . They seem to never learn that if they gave us less work, they would have less correcting to do. However, this will never be reality. So we students learn to take it in stride and get it done. Six new teachers have been added to the faculty this year: Ms. Baribeau and Mr. Forliti enlighten the Religion Department. Mr. Drill and Ms. Sullivan bring new angles and complex molecules to the Math and Science Departments. Br. Henry has finally returned to De to teach Espanol and gives you the third degree if you are late. Shovel in hand, Mr. Johnson digs up the History Department and uses it to keep his students awake in English. THIS PAGE TOP: Now Bridget, I can't explain this, but I’m sure you know what I mean.

DoZellar Mary Palmborg Campus Ministry Development Librarian Liturgy Committee Fran Roby Guidance Counseling Sr. College Planning Pam Zajac Development What else can be said about the support staff here at De, beside the fact that we couldn't get along without them? They may not always be visible to us, but many students depend on the support staff for help in a variety of areas. One major limb of the support staff resides in the Development Office. It functions with the aid of Mr. James DeZellar, new to De La Salle this year, and Pam Zajac. In Mr. Fran Roby's counseling office the final plans for the Senior's futures after De came into view. He assisted in college or career choices for what they wanted to do for the rest of their life. Brother Kevin Butcher, also new to De. ran Campus Ministry and the Liturgy Committee. He planned, with the help of De” students, the masses and retreats for DLS students. Mrs. Mary Palmborg ran the library, helping students find books for long English papers and torturing teachers who forgot to return video equipment. p.8: Cooking up the Islander version of Strange Brew p.9: top: Brother Kevin wonders if our photographer is in need of serious help, middle: Oh, no, I broke a nail! bottom: When is my helper coming? 8 Support Services Workin' Hard Established in 1920, the Patroness Society has helped De La Salle with service and donations of money, about $3,000 a year. They also assist with the prayers and masses. The society meets monthly in the auditorium. The Booster Club came along in 1962 to promote the school's athletic department. Their main fundraising activity was their booth at the Metrodome. Both groups have contributed much of their time and services toward fundraising for De La Salle.

It's those little Sophomores from last year! The Juniors have now come to expect more recognition and respect from the underclassmen at De . Remembering how their first two years at De were like review years, they now realize that their third year is going to be directed more toward their futures after De . The Juniors have proven themselves to be an exciting class, full of enthusiasm and SPUNK! All of this will greatly enhance their fun upperclassmen years.

They didn't have to worry about settling into a new school, meeting new people, or new classes. The Sophomores made themselves conspicuous. They organized Freshman Fun Night, helped with Homecoming and Halloween dances, and showed up nearly everywhere. They were certainly evident in the fall musical, Literary Magazine, and Campus Ministry. The mandatory speech unit prompted many Sophomores to join the Speech team, broadening their horizons. The Sophomores made a contribution to the entire school. Hopefully they will continue to prosper. PHOTO: Do they even know why they are making fools of themselves?

New Students: Class of 1991 The Freshmen class of '91, can now open their lockers and find their classrooms in less than five minutes. They've joined most of the activities at De . They've even found the courage to come to a dance or two. That first traumatic day of HIGH SCHOOL and Freshman Fun Night seem so long ago. Most survived the upperclassmen's stares, Mr. Courtney's Orientation class, and being a FRESHMAN in general. Difficult as it was to adjust to the early school buses and new classes, the excitement of River-place and being on the Island”, lessened their anxieties at beginning De .

During the Christmas season, they played at two local grade schools, and their annual Christmas concert. Later they traveled to Delano for the large musical group contest. During the basketball season, the ever-present music of the band contributed to the enthusiasm of the fans. Their year was proudly completed with their Spring concert.

Bigger is Better At the start of the school year, the choir was the largest anyone could remember. With the work of Mr. Capecchi, and the support of everyone involved, it turned out to be a great year. They were involved in activities ranging from the Christmas concert to singing at St. Matthew's Church Christmas Eve. They also sang at many school masses, and competitions, such as the choir festival at Visitation.

Once in Colorado, they enjoyed a day of fun in the sun skiing at the Loveland Ski area. Concerts were performed at Mullen Nursing Home, Mullen High School, and Holy Family High School. Some highlights of the shows were Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? sung by Denise Johnson, Diana Johnson, and Shari Henrich and the barbershop quartet of Chris Henrich, Pat Coleman, Adam Hildreth, and Joe Maher harmonizing to This Little Light of Mine and Goodnight, Ladies . The band made everyone feel like dancing. The last night was the Non-Talent show with Bill O'Hara, Chris Henrich, and Johnny Carson walking away with First Prize for their song We're So Fine. Band Choir Tour in Denver. Colorado 31 Back in Black (and White) The Islander started up again after a year of non-existence. The 62nd volume of The Islander looked the same as some of the previous years' issues, but a major difference was publication. In previous years the paper's stories were typed on a typewriter and sent in to be printed. The staff would then cut and paste them on to a story board and get the final paper printed and copied. This year the stories were directly typed into one computer, dubbed Satan by the staff. Then it was laid out on Satan and sent to be printed and copied. Hopes were that by doing it all by computer, the staff could put out more issues a year. Unfortunately, the result was the opposite. Computer gliches, not knowing how to operate the computer, and missed deadlines by reporters caused fewer issues to be published. Computer operation improved during the year when the staff moved off Satan and onto the associate editor's computer. This was a new beginning for The Islander. Four of the five beginning editors were new to editing. As the year went on, the editors grew more proficient, resulting in a better paper. Standing: Carlos Landry.

Kevin, five students would plan all that would go into each mass. Before the mass, a meeting was held to make sure that everything went as planned. Many hours of work went into planning each mass. Once the theme, scriptures, readers, music, and decorations were set, the whole DLS community could come together to worship in a cheerful environment.

Responsible lor the spiritual development of the 'De' community. Campus Ministry provided opportunities for people to grow in their spiritual life, such as having masses, prayer services, and retreats. Brother Kevin, Adviser, has had 13 years of prior Campus Ministry experience to his first year at 'De'. Campus Ministry 35 Of Course 2 + 2 = 5! For the second year in a row De La Salle had a Math League. They seemed to do well, despite the tough competition. The drop in participation made it difficult. Despite the loss, they prevailed and came out the victors. The math events included Algebra 1, Geometry, Pre-Calculus Algebra 2, and Calculus. Mrs. Voss and Mr. Drill were coordinators, and helped the team improve upon their math skills. Hopefully, these skills will carry on through the years to come.

Then, suddenly, trophies began appearing in the hands of DE” speakers. Voices could be heard in the halls with the team exercising their tongues for the tournaments. Team members entered themselves in 11 categories ranging from the serious and sophisticated to the funny and relaxed. By regions, the team was the strongest it had ever been, with most of the team competing in the tournament. Dawn Sater, Carl Iverson, John Kelly, Bridget Daly, and Jennifer Shannon made final rounds. Dawn Sater's creativity lead her and the team to the state tournament. She was the first one to compete for the state trophy since 1984.

This year the Student Council has worked hard to please all of the students here at De. Many of their efforts of hard work have been organized by the President Theresa Cardinal and Vice-President Heather Sellors. Getting together dances such as Homecoming and Sno-Daze is just one of their talents. Open house, bloodmobile, concessions for sporting events, and getting the idea together of having a mascot is a busy job to have. Above all making the students more enthusiatic is their goal. � � • 40 Student Council p. 40: far left: Theresa Cardinal and Shelly Moorman enhance their ideas for Student Council by sleeping on them, top: Loo Blanchard just grins, but Heather Sel-lors shows her true colors, bottom: Heather Sellors sweats as she tries to explain to Principal Brother Steven that she really doesn't have a class now. p.41: Johnny Carson shows Theresa Cardinal what she gets for beating him in the election last year. t ick row: Peter Jansen.

What DEADLINE?!? Yes, we did meet our deadlines, or you would not be reading this article. Senior Editors Todd Constant and Chris Nelson made sure that they were met, chasing down people for articles and finishing up what didn't get done. This year the Delta 1988 had several new toys to play with. Photo Editor Heather Sellors and Pat Coleman mastered the school's darkroom and provided the yearbook with needed photos seconds before deadlines. A new version of PageVision®was used that gave the staff unlimited possibilities with page design. This included better text placement, background shading, and most importantly, easier programming. An attempt was made to have a member of each team, organization, or event contribute thoughts for each article. This helped create more accurate and interesting stories, lessening burden on the main staff. Joseph Cruz created the artwork that starts some of the pages. New to De and the yearbook staff, Adviser Ms. Colleen Sullivan attempted homicide several times and never quite succeeded. Right now a gun is being held to my head and her finger is on the trigger so I have to say some really nice things about her. She was a really great adviser and helped us with all that we needed, ending the year with a bang ! 42 Yearbook — Delta 1988 p.42 top: No Renee! Not until after FINAL deadline! left: ALL RIGHT!

Looking down the highway he could barely believe his eyes. There was a mass of cars, all decorated in black and gold, with plenty of teen-agers screaming at the top of their lungs DE GOES OFF! He decided to go quietly along his way, and forget all that he saw. Too bad Cannon Falls didn't follow the policeman's example. However, since we are nice, the football team gave them a warm” welcome. In reality, they turned Benildes' field upside down. Jason Bradley showed them what the field looked like, up close. Adam Kowles taught them how to properly look up for the ball. Yet none of Cannon Falls' players seemed to learn how to catch it for an interception. Antonio Smith knew how and he gave us the winning touchdown. Even in the cold and rain, none of our players slipped up. They just ran over or around Cannon Falls' players, who liked to wallow in the mud. After a double overtime (O.K., we do give them some credit for they did put up a good fight) De won 18 to 15. After the tailgating party back to De La Salle, the celebration continued. The dance floor was packed, with everybody Rockin' Steady over the victory. Again, the 'men of DE' came through. 1) Ami© Brown, Diane Gerjets, Natalka Kramarczuk, Tina Lindstrom, Gina Cincinelli, Cyndi Johnson, and Julie Evans decorated their car to try for the winning prize. 2) Smiles of happiness shine from King Pat Knutson and Queen Rachel Rudquist. 3) Sandy Kruchten and date get crazy at the dance. HOMECOMING 47 After many weeks of practice and rehearsal the moment of truth arose. The cast and crew had anxiously awaited the opening night. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was claimed to be one of the best plays in years. Playing Joseph, the naive, but favorite son of Jacob, (Mike Blank) was Chris Henrich. This production was well-narrated by Senior, Sibyl Pease and Junior, Julie Evans. The musical included many varieties of music and characters; including Senior, Bill O'Hara portraying Pharoah, with a touch of Elvis. Dream may be the key word to what seems a flashback of the casts transformations. With a taste of the past they had all realized the true meaning of unity and cooperation. With the help of Ms. Meg Zauner, the director, and Mr. Mark Capecchi, the play was a sheer success.

From the end of October, to the middle of November, De La Salle would never be the same. In the halls, classrooms, and, yes, even the bathrooms, there was talk of one dance: Sadie Hawkins. On that cool November night, the one spot where you could always find a crowd was at the ever popular jail. For the simple price of a kiss, a girl could retrieve her guy. Once the guy was released, his gal would lead him away to be imprisoned, in a more subtle way. Yup, you guessed it, they'd make a bee-line straight for the chapel. Unfortunately, or maybe it was for the better, the marriages only lasted until eleven-thirty. All is well at 'De', again ... Or at least until the same time next year, when the girls dig out their lassos, and the guys go into hiding. 50 Sadie Hawkins FACING PAGE UPPER: The local crowd gathers around the General Store.

For those who wanted to be adventurous, there was Snow Football, (the Sophomores and Freshmen tied), Volleyball, (Juniors won), and let's not forget those cool snow sculptures. For the less courageous who chose to stay inside. there was Win, Lose, or Draw, the Sponge Toss, and the renting of slaves. Not to mention the mouth-watering pizza brought to us from Enzo's in Riverplace. The students seemed to really enjoy all of the games and activities during Sno Daze and we concluded the event with a dance at the end of the week. The whole Sno Daze event was a fun success. p. 52: top: Mr. Courtney, Ms. Sullivan (together as usual), John Carson, and Brian Cain are speechless as the Do girls prove that they can play just as dirty as the boys, bottom: Mike Polanski's grin reveals his plot to catch Jordan Dols and make him blend in with the rest of the snow. p. 53: top left: C'mon, Sister, we're not takin' you fer a ride when we say we're gonna blow this lab into the river!

Adam Hildreth's excellent portrayal of the suffering actor contributed to the humor in the play. Adam's character experienced the ultimate nightmare of any actor — he was stuck with a part and had no idea what his lines were. First. Anne Blanchard and Becky Wright battle each other for his love, next Liberty Miller tries to teach him Shakespeare, then he and Anne did a scene in garbage cans. Poor Dawn Sater tries to tell him his lines, which leads to Joe Maher's solution — oil with his headI Directed by Meg Zauner and assisted by Harry Kaiser DLS '85 and student director Jennifer Durenberger, the play finished third in the One Act Play Contest held in Delano.

Signs of love and peace, tie-dyed tee-shirts, and hot lookin' bell bottom pants were all a part of the Magical Mystery theme in the kick off of Treasure Island. By the end of Treasure Island we had surpassed our goal of $32,000. During the day of the festival several people had the pleasure of enjoying the food, games, music, and buying stuff at the various booths. The whole Treasure Island was a giant success. (Especially because we all earned three days off from school!) The highlight of the entire event, and the entire school year for that matter, was the unplanned, unchoreographed, un-everything, except un-good skit the faculty did. The best part, as most agree, was Mrs. Hagerty doing her excellent portrayal (from personal experience, maybe???) of a Hare Krishna begging for money (or more students for her Spanish 4 classes?).

Enthusiasm was high spirited and cheerful on the dance floor as a smoke machine was used for the first time to create the perfect romantic touch. Eventhough the dance was after Valentine's Day, that didn't spoil the night. Couples danced under special lighting as if it were the moon and it seemed to last forever. Dancing in the Moonlight, With the One You Adore, the Night will Last Forever Sweetheart Dance 59 ...the time of our lives. This year's prom was definitely the time of their lives for those who attended. It will be especially remembered by the Seniors, being it was their last formal dance of their years at De . Held this year at Rushford Hall, the dance proved to be entertaining. The floor was always crowded as the couples frolicked to the music provided by Hunt Productions with the aid of guest WLOL DJ, Dave Christians. To top off the night, Dan Riley and Jackie Wiswell were crowned Prom King and Queen. Mrs. Johnson provided hors d'oeuvres for couples to munch on and each couple was given a com plem en tary champagne glass with the theme etched on it. The night ended with couples dancing into the night having the time of their lives. iMwi-sirtt; 60 Junior Sonior Prom )ar X wed y y 1) King Dan Riley and Queen Jackie Wiswell flash their pearly whites. 2) Odyssey Senes and her date strut their stuff. 3) Smile Jordan, just one more photo! 4) What you looking at?

The boys, on the other hand, struggled to accomplish a decent season. They were hindered by many complications, from injuries to lack of participants. For the first time in De La Salle history, the girls' team qualified for regions, in addition to placing third in districts. At the region meet, many of the girls clocked their fastest times of the season. Led by Sophomore Sandy Kruchten, and Seniors Nicole Eich and Rose Kedrowski, the girls faired very well and earned respect. The boys' team had a good season despite all the adversity. Because of strong showings by Isaac Carter, Alvin Stachowski, Pat Carruthers, and first year runners, John Cardinal, Chad Pe-tronek, and Jesse Myers, the boy's team had a good year, and just missed achieving their goal, qualifying for regions, by placing fourth, rather than third, in districts. Chris Berg, one of the state's top runners, on the other hand, had an excellent season. He made De La Salle proud by placing first in districts, and second in regions. Although he placed a disappointing twenty-fourth at state, Berg shows much promise, and will definitely make strides in the future.

He brought to the tennis team a positive attitude, even though the ten member team often found a forfeit necessary. The team was able to bring about victories lead by their first single's player, Cathi Quesnel. The practice gained through playing against a number of AA schools prepared them for a respectable showing at Districts and Regions, winding up the season on a fine note.

In its previous year it was a sport just for junior varsity play. This year makes De La Salle's first varsity soccer team ever. The team was coached under the leadership of Mr.Courtney. For its first year, the team did exceptionally well by winning 4 and tying 1 of its 14 games. The trend has been set by the '87 soccer team to continue to be just as prosperous in seasons to come. 3 SOCCER 69 De La Salle vs Opponent 0 St. Michael 3 1 Monticollo 3 0 Watertown 3 1 Mpls.

Who will get it? Set For the Future This year's volleyball program overcame one of the greatest obstacles which had hindered the team in the past. For the first time, in quite awhile, the girls acted like a team. They came together and supported each other. Though they didn't have a winning record, their camaraderie made victory even sweeter than before. The Varsity team, composed of four Seniors, three Juniors, and four Sophomores, improved immensely over the sixteen game season. This was due, mainly, to the skill and patience of the coaches. The coaching staff was enhanced by the arrival of St. Thomas student, Lisa Rooney, who lead the J.V. team to an overwhelmingly victorious season, and the return of last year's Freshman coach. With practice, and continual support from head coach Kevin Cassidy, the volleyball program has the potential to become one of the best DLS has ever seen VOLLEYBALL 71 VARSITY FOOTBALL SCORES 1987 DLS vs. Opponent 36 Concordia Academy 28 (OT) 20 Stewartville 26 18 Cannon Falls 15 (20T) 0 Benilde St.Margarot 49 0 Litchfield 33 6 Minnehaha Academy 14 0 Lake City 27 0 Holy Angels Year End Record 2 — 6 30 Back: Davo Soukup.

Fans hung in there, Cheerleaders were inexhaustible, the team surged, grunted, plunged, plowed — but opposition stalled us. Our 2 — 6 record brought many tears, strained throats, and loyal fans. Our five away games — some far away — gave us very few, yet, very steadfast De La Sailers. Our defensive line, lead by Senior captain, Pat Knutson, and Sophomore Marquis White, led the way with much strength. Due to our teams' many injuries this season, one person's weak attempt at humor suggested that our team be called the Injuries rather than the Islanders . The importance of one person to a team was underscored when Senior captain, Antonio Smith's internal leg injury prevented his reentry into the season. Throughout the remainder of the year, despite injuries to other key players, our team relentlessly continued to give their all in every game.

A squad of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, this season's cheerleaders were an excited, and important, asset to all the games. Co-captains, Rachel Rudquist and Becky Wright, helped the squad through the hard work and the fun this fall. The pep of this season's cheerleaders, joined by our fans' rowdy support, proved, again, that great spirit comes from DLS. 1) The cheerloading squad joins in unity while saluting the American Flag. 2) Julio Evans, Gretchen Fudro, and Diane Gerjets help us come alive with spirit. 3) Holly Buckendorf shows De La Salle wove got style. 4) As we well know, the cheerleaders are great for leading us on to victory”.

A strong season was expected because only two of their starters graduated from last year's team. The girls did well all season, losing their reputation of run the ball up the court, run it down, run it up ..Some games were very close, tense, and exciting. Coach Barry brought the team from a losing record in 1986 to a winning one in 1987 and again in 1988, her second year of coaching the team.

As the entire state knows the Varsity team had a quest for the state trophy, and they brought it back to the Island. Along the way, they scored over 100 points against Patrick Henry. Last year in Districts the team beat Watertown-Mayer by one point at the buzzer, this year they kicked butt (in the words of the late Brother Richard), winning by 62 points. In Regions, Milaca was 11 points behind De at the final buzzer, sending the Islanders on to STATE! The first game against Le Sueur the Islanders took the lead in the beginning and never let it go. The team left us on the edge of our seats for the second game, down by three points at the half against Big Fork. They rallied in the second half to win by 25 points at the end. The final game De La Salle took control and showed the state we can't be stopped. No matter what Russel-Tyler-Ruthton did they could never gain the lead.

Since there was no coach, the girls had to work together. Special help was given by Senior Student Coach Beth Witzman. Captained by Julie Curtis and Christina Voss, the Danceline made up and performed routines using their own creative ability.

With the new weightroom, most lifters were athletes trying to accelerate their competition in a particular sport. This year the lifters had their best showing at the 10th annual Blaine Powerlifting Tourney. Lead by Craig Olmstead, Joseph Cruz. Bob Rowles. Greg Beaner, Pat Carruthers, and Kevin Standing. they took third out of eight teams, with Craig, Joseph, and Pat going on to the Tri-Metro championships. Pat Carruthers won the conference title at 1131bs. Craig placed second and Joseph finished fourth. At the Minnesota State Powerlifting Tourney, Joseph finished third, and Pat tied for third.

Caddyshack II The season began formally on March 14th. Using the Golfmobile, the golfers invaded the friendly confines of the Edina Golf Dome to begin practice. Fortunately, artificial turf is difficult to divot. However, there were several damaged tees, and efforts were made to deflate the dome by hitting high drives. The dome also had dividers to protect unsuspecting fellow golfers from a variety of creative shots ranging from the shank to the open face duff. The competitive season began in early April. They played 12 matches and won three, being close in several others. Brady and St. Agnes were close, losing two to Brady by a total of four strokes and one to St. Agnes by three strokes. They showed signs of improvement throughout the year. An effort was made to set up a girl's team, but only three girls came out. The golfers this year were lead by Seniors Bob Mueffelman and Mike Polanski, with Mr. Anderson, aka Mr. Golf Balls , running the team. The season ended with the district tourney at Dahlgreen Golf Course. Although the golfers finished sixth, they managed to do only minor damage to the windows in the caddyshack and the several BMW's and Mercedes' in the parking lot.

McEnroe Beware The 1988 boys' tennis team held their own again this year. In funky new uniforms, the players challenged their opponents on the Loring Park courts with a modest, yet devoted, group of fans in attendance. Spectators frequently shouted words of encouragement, which in most cases were much appreciated. However, one player commented that he sometimes had a difficult time concentrating on his game when friends hollered their greetings to him, apparently desiring an acknowledgement of their presence at the most inopportune moments. Coach Bridget Lawson had words of praise for every player and expressed her hopes that the obvious team potential would be realized. Boys' Tennis 89 90 Softball Shutout City Softball games are not played by relying on just one player alone. A team is composed of nine vital players, who must work together to be successful. This year's team had some of the most talented players that De has ever seen. Unfortunately, the over-all record was less than representative of the skill and ability of the team. The competition this year was a lot tougher than in the past. Though the varsity's record doesn't show it, they put up quite a fight against each team; most of their losses were by only a few points. Despite the fact that next year's team will be composed of mainly juniors, they have high hopes. The softball program seems to be fastly improving, as seen with this year's shutouts, and who knows? .. .Looks can be deceiving. top: Way to Strike 'em out Rachel! middle left: Golly goo, that ball seems to be getting bigger and bigger, middle right: Don't throw it homo, no, pleaseeee, .. .don't throw it home!!! bottom: Show 'em whor© you live Kris! p.90: top: Varsity: Back: Coach Steve Gorde, Heather Hinds, Liz Anderson, Carol Stogsdill, Ann O'Mara, Coach Amy Iverson.

The season ended with a disappointing 6 — 13 record. However, this was a deceiving. The team started with five consecutive losses followed by winning six of their remaining fourteen games, including three wins in the final four regular season games. The seniors last game was a sad one, though, as De lost 6-2 to Blake in the first game of districts. Pitching was the teams strong suit as Greg Beaner led the team in wins, Tony DeGross in earned run average and Chris Henrich in innings pitched and strikeouts. The hitting was led by Dave Johnson who batted over .300 for the season. Pat Knutson and John Welton each blasted one homerun to tie for the team lead. The highlight of the season was the 5-4 victory over Edison under the lights at Parade Stadium before the teams biggest crowd, avenging last years 9-8 loss in extra innings. The six wins by the Islanders marked the most wins the baseball team has recorded since Br. Walter became head baseball coach at the start of the '86 season. 92 Baseball p.92: Man, It's too hot for this! p.93: top loft: Greg Beaner concentrates on striking out yet another batter, top right: Alvin Stretch Stachowski hopes the ball will get there before the slider does, middle: Bill O'Hara gives us all he’s got!

The Girls',in each of their meets, out scored their totals of the previous year. There was good depth in the distance events with top finishes in all meets by Sandy Krutchen, Denise Johnson, and Trish Groth. Seven new school records were set with exceptional efforts by these girls mentioned and also by Seniors Shelly Moorman, Shannon Geng, Kim Sexton, and Nicole Eich. Six members of the team had qualified for the Regional meet and they did well. The Boys' track team had a successful season as well. With strong showings from Antonio Smith, Chris Berg, and John Bean, along with the rest of the team, they had accomplished good placings in all of their meets. Antonio and Chris had earned their way to the State meets and Antonio placed first in the 300 intermediate hurdles and fourth in the 100 meter hurdles. They both had represented De very well and the whole track season is on that the school and the athletes are proud of. p.95: top: loft: John Bean hurdles his way to victory, right: Carlos Villagomez gets himself set to outrun his opponents, middle: left: Trish Groth ponders whether or not to leave the track and head for the ice cream truck, right: Shannon Geng gives 100% right up to the finish, bottom: left: Michele Eich, baton and all, hurries to finish first, right: Rose Kedrowski and Mary Lenarz decided to catch some rays instead of running a few miles — Good Choice!

Imported from Brazil in January of 1987, he stayed with the Henrich family. He was on the Varsity Tennis Team and the Soccer team. At first he had trouble with everything being rushed , but survived with a lot of help from the 'De' students. Marcio will be most remembered for his mutilation of American customs and the English language. At lunch he poured gallons of ketchup, mustard, and sometimos taco sauce on his pizza, including handwriting his name on it! Confusion reigned in his classes as teachers demanded answers and out came his pocket dictionary because he couldn't understand what they wanted. During his stay ho became friends with everyone he met. At his final good-bye, about 25 of his closest friends skipped school and saw him off at the airport. We all wish Marcio the best of luck in whatever his life has in store for him, we'll miss him dearly. ★ Marcio's Graduation ★ 113 SevU t Art Bianca Kramarczuk Band Victoria Szymanski Business Daniel Riley Chorus Christopher Henrich Computer Science Rachel Rudquist English Sibyl Pease German Rachel Rudquist Home Economics Mary Lenarz Mathematics Peter Jansen Physical Education Gregory Beaner Religion Theresa Cardinal Science Peter Jansen Social Studies Susan Hartinger Spanish Maria Dick Attendance Todd Constant Victoria Szymanski American Mathematics Competition Medal Peter Jansen Erich Offo Daughters of the American Revolution Theresa Cardinal Sons of the American Revolution Carl Iverson Rotary Club of Minneapolis Rachel Rudquist Victoria Szymanski First Bank Award Peter Jansen Rachel Rudquist Valedictorian Victoria Szymanski Salutatorian Rachel Rudquist rfcactemica Lettering for Excellence: Consistent Achiever Nominee Victoria Szymanski Recent Achiever Team Member Makeba Tate Top 20% Award Dawit Belete Elizabeth Boike Theresa Cardinal Todd Constant Bridget Daly Anthony DeGross Maria Dick Richard Gerasch Michael Groth Christopher Henrich Carl Iverson Peter Jansen Matthew Jaremko Kelly Klick Kirk Klobe Janet Kraska Timothy Kuharski Robert Mueffelman Erich Otto Sibyl Pease Michael Polanski Rachel Rudquist Heather Sellors Victoria Szymanski Vincent Winstead Jacqueline Wiswell National Honor Society Lee Blanchard Theresa Cardinal Todd Constant Bridget Daly Anthony DeGross Maria Dick Richard Gerasch Christopher Henrich Carl Iverson Peter Jansen Bridget Johnson Janet Kraska Charles Kuharski Jennifer Longen Michelle Moorman Christine Nelson Lim Nguyen Erich Otto Sibyl Pease Michael Polanski Rachel Rudquist Heather Sellors Victoria Szymanski Makeba Tate Christina Voss Maureen Williamson Vincent Winstead Beth Witzman Presidential Academic Fitness Awards: Outstanding Academic Achievement Theresa Cardinal Todd Constant Maria Dick Richard Gerasch Carl Iverson Peter Jansen Matthew Jaremko Kirk Klobe James Nichols Erich Otto Sibyl Pease Rachel Rudquist Heather Sellors Victoria Szymanski Vincent Winstead Extraordinary Effort Michael Groth Janet Kraska Islander Awards Theresa Cardinal Todd Constant Bridget Daly Carl Iverson Peter Jansen Michelle Moorman Daniel Riley Heather Sellors De La Salle Awards Christopher Henrich Rachel Rudquist 114 Senior Awards f4cv id rftMetic Baseball Gregory Beaner Basketball Brian Forrest Shannon Geng Cheerleading: Basketball Rachel Rudquist Football Rebecca Wright Wrestling Mary Lenarz Cross Country Shannon Geng Alvin Stachowski Danceline Christina Voss Football Patrick Knutson Goli Robert Mueffelman Soccer David Johnson Softball Rachel Rudquist Tennis Peter Jansen Cathryn Quesnel Track Michelle Moorman Vincent Winstead Volleyball Maria Dick Weightlifting Craig Olmstead Outstanding Participation Maria Dick Shannon Geng Michelle Moorman Antonio Smith Outstanding Athlete Shannon Geng Antonio Smith Athena Award Shannon Geng U.S. Army Reserve Scholar Athlete Maria Dick Michael Polanski Sx ui-(2cennlc i£an' Drama Joanne Larson Journalism Kirk Klobe Sibyl Pease Math League James Nichols Speech Bridget Daly Student Council Theresa Cardinal Yearbook Todd Constant Christine Nelson Prairie View A M Academic Scholarship Dawit Belete College of St. Benedict Scholarship Donaldson's Co., Inc.

Navy, ROTC Scholarship Vincent Winstead Senior Awards 115 SfattcCitty 7 C The joyous moment that the Class of 1988 was counting their days down to for four years, finally arrived on June fifth, one thousand, nine hundred and eighty-eight. As the 130 graduating Seniors awaited their procession into the Basilica of St. Mary's, tears of joy and sadness flowed as memories of friendships and good times were all brought forth at once. Knowing that this day was the end of their first tough journey together and that many of them wouldn't see one another again, the Seniors found it hard to conceal their emotions. Graduation is a time to reflect on the past and the achievements that each individual accomplished during their four years of high school. No two could have rekindled these memories better than Valedictorian Victoria Szymanski and Salutatorian Rachel Rudquist with their Senior Addresses. For the realization was made at that moment, and with the Graduation Address of guest speaker Dr. J. Francis Wray, that De La Salle had prepared the Seniors for their future lives and provided them with the opportunity to find out just who each individual was meant to be. The Seniors all have a long journey in life ahead of them and De was the first milestone in a future of questions and struggles. Without the strong friendships made at De , the future would be even harder to believe in. For Now and Forever, the Class of 1988 will be Standing Tall on the Wings of Their Dreams. 1) Ellisha McKinney added a nice interlude to the ceremony with her beautiful voice. 2) Angie Haider gladly accepts this handshake with a smile! 3) Valedictorian Victoria Szymanski addresses her fellow graduates with pride. 4) Salutatorian Rachel Rudquist lets the Class of '88 know that without friends there would be no Class of '88. 5) Chris Fox and Erin Dols, after being congratulated by Brother Walter, can't wait to colebratel 116 Graduation! a£ Oun tDneom “ aot de cUatnayect at tyaaddyee,, s4 'panetueM ie aeceetany depone meeting ayata. s4act meeting ayaia, often mameota an ttftttmee i cental . ftn tAaae wAa one p ’teocte..'' — IcAonct SocA, ‘ CCuaiaoe.’ Graduation! 117 }adex G is la son, Stephen .

No more watching Sullivan sweat because our publishing rep was coming in five minutes, and we had nothing to show her? No more having Pat redevelop photos? No more Mark and H. Larson? No more chasing around to get people to do stories that we eventually do ourselves? Hey, we're bofh going to the U of M, so we can be on their yearbook staff and still have fun. What? They don't have a yearbook?!? Isn't that a sin? But, what will I do without YEARBOOK?!? And what the (expletive) do you mean that I can't keep my cropper!?! (Editors note: This story contains not one shred of truth whatsoever anc has not one bit of yearbooking ethics either. Thanks Chris for all the help you've given me in putting this book out. If I didn't love ya, I wouldn't have done this story. Todd.) t The theme for Delta 1988 is Islander Spirit . Three typefaces were used, Stymie Medium (st) for all regular stories and headlines. Cornet Bold (co) is used for Senior pages and Prom headlines. Brush (hr) is used for headlines in the State section and for the award pages, also for various other headlines. The point sizes of the text varied from 6pt. to 60 pt. Headlines being from 24pt. — 60pt. with text being 6pt. to 12pt. The cover is Black 910 on Gold 03IP . The cover title Islander Spirit is in Brush with a 72pt. size. The size of the book is 7Va by 103A , with a Brick grain cover design. Five-hundred copies oI Delta 1988 were printed by Taylor Publishing Company of Dallas, Texas. The total cost is about $6,177.00, plus or minus $10,000.00. The editors wish to thank Ms. Barry, for her taking photos, Mark from H. Larson, for getting us started in our new darkroom, and most importantly, Bro. Steven, for his putting up with our complaints during the year. The Senior Editors, Todd Constant, and Christine Nelson wish next years staff the best of luck. (They'll seriously need it!) Editorial: Who Cares? This year, both the senior editors made it their goal to have this bo the best yearbook De La Salle has had for the past four years. A lot el time was taken to make sure that Delta 1988 would be a correct yearbook. The colors ol the cover were black and gold, the setup of the boo': was returned to normal, with underclassmen in the front, organizations, activities, and sports next, and for the first time ever, a special section for seniors in the back. We tried to beat all of our deadlines so it would be possible to receive the yearbooks as soon as possible. When stories are asked fo: understand that for every day that our deadline is missed, the books can be delayed for up to two months, or longor. It is not oasy to create . 120-page yearbook. It is worse than the English department requiring a 120-page term paper before you are allowed to graduate, and givin j you only a year to do it. Layouts have to be drawn and entered into the computer, stories, headlines, and captions have to be created an: typed in, then re-written until they are perfect, photos have to be taken, developed, proofed, chosen, printed, developed again, selected, an: cropped ! For example, about 400 photos were taken at the state tournment and only nine appear in the state section. We use an automatir index program to create our index. There are about 435 students at Do La Salle. When the program was run for the first time after second deadline, it came up with about 600 names. Try correcting 165 names of people who don't exist. Usually it takes about two hours to go over the complete index. So don't complain if your name is spelled wrong, the index is the least of our worries. Putting out a yearbook is a lot of work. This year's editors were disappointed in the lack of participation from the entire school. Complainin; that you didn't want to write a story, not being on time (or not showing) for a photo, wanting a spring dolivory book instead of fall, doesn't hel? us one bit on doing the book. A yearbook takes dedication, and for the ENTIRE year. Who cares? You all should. It s YOUR book. — Senior Editors — Todd Constant Christine Nolson (Todd, you weren't supposed to walk in while I was typing this! It is difficult to be sneaky with you and Chris. I just wanted to have my spot to thank you publicly for all that you have done for me and De this year. I will miss both of you an awful lot. To the rest of the staff, thank you as, well! (No names need be mentioned, you KNOW who you are! Well, best of luck and please, try to stay out of trouble. Okay?!!! Love you i Colloon Sullivan) 120 Final Story Colophon Editorial M C %.IC LIB« a
