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.

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

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

To be involved in Na- tional Honor Society a student must have a 3.5 cumulative grade point average through the end of five semesters. They are also evaluated in areas of leadership, service, and character. The Faculty Council this year selected 12 seniors to be members of Lutheran High ' s chapter of National Honor Society.
