Helping fo shape our future . . . Parent Teacher League The Parent Teacher League (PTL) showed us for yet another year that they care about us and our school. Made up of teachers and parents, the PTL is led by an Executive Board, which leads the meetings, plans programs for parents, and oversees the group ' s fundraising activities. This year, the PTL sponsored a program dealing with prevention of substance abuse. It also initiated a new money-making idea for the school — selling King Soopers coupons. And, as always, the PTL served as an important link between parents and Lutheran High School, giving parents an opportunity to know what ' s happening at school and to express their views and concerns. Participation by these people shows us that we really do matter! This year ' s PTL Executive Board included (seated) President Clark Fassett, Secretary Lynne Peterson, Treasurer lona Bathke. (standing) Vice President Jessica Brettmann, Hospitality Planners Sharon De Jong and Norma Anderson. Mr. Brandhorst (middle left) distrubutes program materials to parents at one of PTL ' s bimonthly meetings, while Mrs. Peterson (middle right) records information in the group ' s minutes. Mr. Fassett (bottom) introduces Mr. Merz, who led the PTL in devotion. Both parents and teachers were asked to lead devotions on different occasions. 40

Willing o serve Ushers • • !• ' ••. Chapel is a daily event at LHS, but most of us see only the speaker or group who leads the service. Yet there is lots that goes on before all this can take place. The podium and banners must be set up, the microphone hooked up and in place, and the bleachers pulled out. Often a fairly complex assortment of speakers, record players, or projectors is needed, or there will be hymnals to distribute. Who takes care of all this, day after day without fail? The LHS Ushers. This year ' s head Ushers were David Teske and Jimmy Cotter. They were responsible for seeing that the sound system worked, that everything was set up and ready, and that all was back in place after- wards, and th ey were in charge of a number of other students who assisted. They could always be counted on, and their conduct and responsibility set a fine example for others to follow. This year ' s ushers included (front) Craig Patten, limmy Colter, Pete Luedemann, and David Teske. (back) Tim Sternberg, Strahan Larsen, and Danni Rossi. 39

Blessings abound . . . Women ' s Booster Club Lots of special things happen at Lutheran High, things that don ' t happen many other places: teachers are given homemade, in- dividually prepared gift boxes at Christmas, a day-long tea is held for faculty and LHS graduates dur- ing the holidays, the concession stands all sports events feature lots more that just pop and popcorn . . . the list goes on and on. So who ' s responsible for all of these special touches ? The LHS Women ' s Booster Club, that ' s who! These ladies support LHS in many ways, and every year they come up with new ideas to enhance life at LHS. This year, they sponsored a Valentine ' s Day breakfast for faculty and seniors, complete with prizes and enter- tainment (a magician!). They use the money they earn not only for special events like these, but to purchase equipment and other items for the school. We are all grateful for the many ways in which the Boosters contribute to LHS. Women ' s Boosters Club members shown tiere are (top) seated: Vice President |udy Anderson, President Sue Arnholt, Phyllis Fowler, Marcia Mueller, (standing) Alice Schneider, Mary Hermann, Secretary Myrna Skeens. Not pictured are: Treasurer Pat Hiltman and Historian Barb Cramer. For many of their meeting (center) the Boosters brought in guest speakers. Here, members listen to an expert on eating disorders. One of the most successful fundraisers at LHS (bottom) is selling concessions at athletic events. All concessions are handled by the Boosters. Here, Mrs. Arnholt serves one of the many customers. 41
