Discussing last night's party at God's Little Acre. Having a Swede put his arm around you. Stammering in front of the entire student body. Reading short stories while waiting for your skit to be presented. Laughing at the jokes in English class. Smiling even though your farm management book doesn't balance.

Foreign Exchange Students Franklin High School was fortunate enough to have its ros- ter adorned by two students from foreign countries during the 1970-71 year. HANS NORDENHEM came to Franklin in August of 1970 to stay the entire year. He was from Karlskrona, Sweden and stayed with the George Serbus family here. EDUARDO GONZALEZ MATIENZO came from Tucu- man, Argentina, in January of 1971 and stayed with the Clar- ence Sather family.

LEFT BOTTOM: Candidates Jane Gruendemann and Duane Sander pro- cess to the stage. Homecoming FHS Brings Tears Of Joy And Happiness Spirits of excitement mounted as the 1970 Homecoming drew near. Throughout the halls of the school, cries of Be- ware of Man-eating Tigers, the 1970 homecoming slogan, could be heard. Tension grew even more on Thursday, Oc- tober 15, when students voted for the candidate of their choice.

After the talent show, comprised of students from each class, the band struck the first notes of the processional and the candidates proudly walked up the aisle to the stage. Mark Sherman, 1969 Grand Marshall proudly announced the 1970 Grand Marshall as Duane Sander. A hush fell over the auditorium and the drum roll began to echo as Cindy Grunke, the 1969 Homecoming Queen, paced back and forth behind the candidates. A loud crash of the cymbals was heard as Cindy placed the crown on Jane Gruen- demann, the 1970 Homecoming Queen. Many tears and cries of joy followed the crowning. Following the coronation, the Queen, Grand Marshall, and their court processed outside to the awaiting converti- bles to ride behind the marching band down the mainstreet to the football field where the huge pile of lumber and out- buildings awaited the touch of the torch for the bonfire and pepfest.

Thursday, October 15, found many of the Franldin students donning their costumes, making props, and preparing for the talent show. At 8:00 the curtain opened and the variety of skits, miniature dramas, and songs spewed forth from the mouth of the stage. Following the variety show, the coronation took place and Queen Jane and Grand Marshall Duane rode to the foot- ball field with their junior royality sitting alongside. The Franklin Marching Band led the route to the field where the large pile of lumber and trees were ignited by our Grand Marshall. As the flames lick- ed higher and higher, the crowd became more and more fired up by the fine leadership of the cheerleaders. The Franklin Fire Department kept an eye on the last dying ember as the crowd slowly dwindled away. Friday, October 16, started off with the highly aroused students sitting anxi- ously awaiting the time for the start of the homecoming game. Alumni mingled in the halls and returned to visit old faculty members and friends of the past. Balloons bobbed up and down seventh hour struggling to be released at the kick of the ball. At last the team took to the field for the warm-up and the Milroy players looked worried. They had every right to be. With the opening kick-off, there was no doubt that the Tigers were out to win the game. The bonfire, talent show, pep fest, and new reigning royalty were not in vain. Kirk Jensen pas- sed to Steve Serbus and a 31 yard pass from Dickmeyer to Anderson made it 12 to 0 at the end of the first quarter. A 26 yard pass to Dickmeyer and a 50 yard run by Dickmeyer and 17 yard run by Sander finished the game. Final score - Franklin 34, Milroy 0. By George, 1 think I’ve got it!

For many years now, thirteen year old Wilbur Maxwell, has wanted a bicycle. He's dreamed of peddling through town, getting fond gazes from the girls, and boastfully shouting, Look, no hands! But he still can't persuade Mama and Papa to buy him one. So, when Papa is called away for a week-long business trip, and Mama is persuaded to go with him, Wilbur gets the brilliant idea of opening a boarding house to earn his own money, to buy his bike. Wilbur knows that there's a housing shortage, and he knows people need places to sleep, and he knows he can really clean up and be rolling in bicycles. After putting an ad in the paper, the Maxwell house is crawl- ing with people. At two o’ clock the next morning. Mama and Papa unexpectedly return home--Papa forgot his briefcase. This upsets Wilbur's entire scheme. Now it's one mess after another. Papa has an important business con- ference that same morning, but he can’t get in to shave, and he can’t ever read his own paper, Things are going round and round. Finally it's discovered that some- body in the house is a bank robber, and poor Papa is mistakenly carted off to the clink. When the whole mess gets straightened out, Wil- bur is a hero for nabbing the bank robbers, and he finally gets his bicycle. BELOW: You look like a real swinger in that outfit Pam! Franklin s Winter Wonderland One of the most exciting weeks was February 15th to 20th, which was officially named Sno-Week. With equally good ideas, each class set out to capture the winning snow sculpture. The sophomore class was the winner with Tony the Tiger ; second place was taken by the juniors with their winning sculpture, Fred Flintstone . The ninth grade built Chumley ; the eighth grade built Dino the Dinosaur ; and the seventh grade built Huckleberry Hound , which re- ceived honorable mention. The seniors were either too busy (or lazy) to do a sculpture. One of the more exciting moments was the crowning of the Snow King and Queen. Each class had chosen its most likely candidates to be crowned and the lucky candidates were Carmen Anderson and Kirk Jensen . Their court consisted of Susan Forbrook, Diane Drexler, Wayne Olson, Garnett Pederson, Trudy Dingels, Sean Ness, Jean Koupal, Mark Jensen, Mindy Triden, and John Sander. On Friday night a big dance was held in the gym, with music provided by records, which were later raffled off to the students. Refreshed by the dance the night before, everybody was ready and anxious for the broom hockey games the next day. Lothert's Litter was the winner of the girl's teams, with Pam Lothert as captain. Dingel's Pick-ups with Jim Dingels as captain, was the winner of the boy's teams. All in all, Sno-Week was a very fun and successful week.

This year the Senior Class put on three short one-act plays. The first, a comedy, When Girls Ask Boys for Dates , reversed the dating situation. When the girls started complaining about paying for the boys' big appetites, and the boys started primping, hilarity broke loose. In the second play, The Storm , a drama, two spirits came back to rescue their crazy daddy. And in the third play, which was a mystery-comedy, Ghosts for Rent , four high school kids try to help an old lady with her leeching relatives.

Prom Proves To Be From bleachers and basketball nets to flowers and streamers was the changes in the gymnasium during the week of May 10 - 15 due to the hard work of the junior class. It was all worth it though, for at 5:30 on Saturday, May 15, a car caravan left the school bound for the Redwood Falls Country Club. After a supper of salad, Salisbury steak, french fries and mint chip ice cream, we all returned to the school for the Grand March and dance. Music for this memorable occasion was provided by the Marshall Swing Band. This is the first year all of the girls in both the junior and senior classes went to the Prom. Our colors were blue and silver, and our Prom ended ’In the Midnight Hour” with a total success. However, the smell of dead fish will always be remembered.

To some this brings a joyous smile, to others, brings a tear. For four long years you've tread a path, from dawn to setting sun. But now the path gets steeper, and the climb is just begun. We're very glad to know you, we'll miss you when you've gone. And to the Class of '71, we dedicate this Prom.

Beware Of The Man-Eating Tigers! The 1970 Tiger football players were after something from the first day of practice to the last r cond of the last game. They put out more than 100 percent and wound up with the Wocohami Conference Co-Champ- ionship with Wood Lake. The squad’s determination and lust for victory carried them through tough grueling practices with the hot Fall days and the blinding storms against them. The Tigers sharpened their claws and tore the field up getting ready for the most exciting season in the history of the school. The mighty team opened up the season against Hendricks and nudged them by a score of 12 to 6. The following game with Winthrop promised to be close right down to the wire, but the team went to the air and a last second thrust by quarterback Kirk Jensen pushed Franklin to a 20 to 14 victory. The only loss of the season came when Franklin was kept from making a two-point conversion twice, and lost 16 to 12 to Balaton in a non-conference game, at Balaton. The team and coaches thought it was a very successful season finish- ing with a 7-1 record. This year, the Tigers were well represented by Mark Machtemes, Duane Sander, and David Dickmeyer on the All-Conf- erence offensive team and Jeff Bethke, Blair Anderson, and Jim Dingels on the All-conference defensive team. The Tigers were led by twelve spirited seniors who wanted to win big and that's just what they did. Congratulations on a very fine season. Tigers!

CHEERLEADER’S LAMENT She is filled with such joy and excitement from the moment she's picked. To think such an honor was given to her. She practices hard and gives all she's got, Because to be a cheerleader means an awful lot. Her first game excites her so She almost forgets to yell Go team go! But through it all she keeps a smile. She knows she must keep fans yelling all the while. She works hard on posters for the games. To create school spirit is for what she aims. She never thinks of losing a game. But when the time comes she cheers just the same. She never says it was his fault or his. Because she knows they gave all they could give. To help her team she always remains cool. No matter what the score, she knows they'll pull through. When her team wins the trophy there's tears in her eyes. Because she's so proud to have cheered for those guys. How do I know what a cheerleader's like??? I've been one for a year, the best year of my life, by Pamela Lothert A-TEAM CHEERLEADERS: CLOCKWISE, TOP RIGHT - Teri Crain, Val Koupal, Pam Lothert, Becky Lund, Laurie Hjulberg. After many hours of hard work, the cheerleaders finally succeed- ed in producing their first calendar which was sold for assisting in the purchase of new uniforms. Up the Spirit was the motto of the cheerleaders. With many hours of practice under the direction of Mr. Lenzen, their advisor, and plenty of coaching and yelling, the mighty Tigers had the best backing of any team in the conference. The A team will remember the chilly evenings at away football games and the sweating moments of the basketball games. Each and every cheerleader will savor the thought that they aided the team spirit enough to win and shed their tears in the losses.

The Tigers opened up the season with seven strong wins and were undefeated up to Christmas. Starting the new year out the Tigers nipped Morton by 3 points, then played Gay- lord, who went on to win the Tomahawk Championship. In the Gaylord game, the Tigers exploded onto the floor gaining an early 12 point lead, but the Spartans consistent outside shooting pulled them past in the last half to edge Frank- lin. The Tigers finished conference play in 2nd place with a re- spectable 12-1 record. Two players, David Dickmeyer and Duane Sander, earned All-Conference positions, while Blair Anderson received honor- able mention.

B-Team Splits Season 9 9 Jr. High Teams Show Future The future basketball era at Franklin was proved with much hope as the B-team finished at 500 percent with 9 wins and 9 losses and the junior high team end- ed the season with 8 wins and 5 losses. The bombers who were coached by Dennis Im- berg played many tough teams throughout the season, losing many of the games by only 1 or 2 points. Show- ing the most promise for next years' varsity team were Randy Hall, Randy Ahrens, Mark Jensen, Sean Ness, Jeff Bethke, Chris Poss and Kevin Thompson. This year's junior high team, lead by coach Mike Klug, was also the victim of a loss by 1 or 2 points. The little tigers played well throughout the entire season and performed superbly in the Junior High Tournament for their size. Franklin beat Morton, then lost close games to Gibbon and Gaylord.

The varsity baseball team could not seem to put it all together to come up with a winning season. Mr. Barney's soft-sackers were 1 and 7 in conference play and 5 and 9 in over-all play. The team enjoyed playing Buffalo Lake as the scoreboard indicated. Jim Dingels, Curt Sather, Steve Triden, and Dean Serbus switched off on the mound with Dingels and David Dickmeyer catching. Many times errors were the primary reasons for losses. Jeff Bethke was the winningest pitcher and one of the top hitters.

ABOVE: Strong winners in the conference and District Track Meets were Blair Anderson and Randy Ahrens. Plagued by rain, the junior high baseball team only succeeded in playing five baseball games. However, they won all five games, prov- ing that the potential for the future varsity teams will be excellent. The industrious track team, comprised of only two boys, Blair Anderson and Randy Ahrens, managed to place ahead of the rival school Morton, in every meet. Ironically enough, Morton had a full track team. Blair consistently won the mile and Randy continually placed second in the half-mile. Both boys won medals for first in the mile and second in the half-mile in the Tomohawk Conference Track Meet and won ribbons in the district track meet, an ample illustration of their wild running.

As the buzzer sounded to begin the game, Debbie, Martha, Carmen, Kristin, and Deanna found themselves on the floor. Up went the ball with Debbie and a literal giant trying to tip it to their own teammates. Unfortunately, an opposing player grabbed it, passed it, and eventually Winthrop made a basket. The game was on!! This is an example of what being on the GAA basketball team is like. The GAA also participated in Volleyball, although they won very few games, they tried very hard and had fun. Towards the end of the school year, the GAA went on a field trip to Bird Island where a few girls learned to rollerskate. A bake sale was held in May to boost the weakening treasury.

The addition of new instru- ments--an oboe, two French horns, and a shiny new sousaphone--add a lustre to the already successful band.

ORGANIZATI 45 BEING A MEMBER OF AN ORGANIZATION MEANS... Trying to beat the deadline for the school paper. Rebuilding that old engine in Shop. Having the librarian sneak a peak at the paper.

Library Cadets Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Pat Halliday, Librarian, we kept order in the Library during the 1970-71 school year. The many books and magazines were handled with the best of care. At the end of the year, when inventory was taken, all of the cadets had their parts to hold down and the library was put into tip-top shape for the next year. The fact that a few books are missing shouldn't mar the record too badly. So- Madame Librarian from the musical The Music Man will have a lot of competition. Annual Staff Don't look now, but the book you are now reading was laboriously produced in the principal's office with many man-hours spent in its production. The annual staff this year had many chiefs and few Indians. David Mumme, photographer, proved his worth in assisting BillWhetmore in producing some fine photography throughout the annual. Karsten Rodvik and Laurie Hjulberg, co-editors tried their very best to co-edit and did manage to give a lot of good advice. The sales staff sold a record 135 annuals this year and future classes will have to go a long way to beat that. The advertising staff, after coming up with a new promotion method this year, (selling pictures with each ad over 15 dollars and a free annual with ea?h 35 dollar ad), also sold a record amount of advertisements. Mrs. Jonason, began work as the advisor and upon her resignation, it was turned over to Mr. Crose. To the cub-editors for next year, Donna Ness and Val Koupal, we wish you all the luck in the world-you'll need it. The annual in one huge job.

The Franklin Chapter of FFA started the year receiving a merit award for its booth at the Minnesota State Fair. The Nat- ional Convention in Kansas City, Mo. provided excitement for three boys and the additional agriculture instructor. Jerry Sch- uetz. The boys also raised a record amount of money for Camp Courage through its annual com drive. As the fall harvest drew to a close, the annual pancake sup- per and crop show helped display the work of the FFA to the townspeople. Later, last winter, oranges and grapefruit were ordered and sold. A basketball team, the Barnyard Renegades was formed and finished the season with a 7 and 1 record. During the National FFA week the officers spoke on radio, a coffee party was held for the teachers and parents, and Geri Eisenbarth was crowned chapter Sweetheart during the half-time of one of the home basketball games. Many of the members took part in various judging contests—three teams (meats, dairy products, and general livestock) went to the state contest. Bob Fox, also went to the state contest as the regional representative in public speaking.

The school was run by Mr. Hillbo, Mr. Schroeder, Mrs. Allen, Mr. Gronau, Mr. Deming, and Mr. Sherman of the board of education. The old building and new elementary wing were the total school.

The energetic juniors proved themselves, in 1970-1971, in a number of ways. To start the year off, they sold a greater amount of magazines then classes of the past, thus reaping a larger profit. Top salesman of the magazine drive was Wayne Olson. Three junior skits were presented in the home- coming talent show, demostrating the ability of class members in performances. Acting ability was demonstrated in the performance of The Boarding House Reach , the junior class play. When Snow Days arrived the junior entry, Fred Flintstone and Dino earned a close second prize. Talent again appeared when the junior class triple trio received a star rating at the vocal festi- val and went on to the regional contest in Olivia. The juniors worked hard planning the prom for the senior class. With help from Mrs. Schweiss and Mrs. By ram, the decision was reached to hold the banquet at the Redwood Falls Country Club and the dance in the school lunchroom. The memories of dancing with one’s favorite partners to the music by the Marshall Swing Band will be cherished through the prom planned by next year's juniors. A very successful year by the juniors paved the way for their big year as seniors.

They had a cook-out at Ram- sey Park, and a few happy students were called out of history class that afternoon to finish washing picnic dishes. There wasn't much homework done during the week before Home- coming. Nearly the whole class had a part in decorating the gym for the coronation and the lunchroom for the dance. The sophomore football players did the goal posts on the morning of the game. During the winter both the boys' and girls' phy. ed. classes went bowling in Fairfax. When Sno-Week came around the class of '73 was right in there with its sculpture. The girls who showed up fashioned the winning Tony the Tiger . All year, second hour English had been the class to celebrate each 10th grader’s birthday, some- times with lunch being served (like giant 12 x 12 cookies or tootsie rolls). One time Miss Smidt had a class experiment in levitation. Mr. Barney was called in from study hall next door, seated on a chair, and before he knew what was going on, he was up in the air by four seemingly weak girls. History class saw some pretty exciting hours, too. On days before a test they would have a contest be- tween panels of five boys and five girls who were chosen to answer questions from Mr. Imberg. The girls inevitably won every time. The class of '73 picked up the bulk of the trash on Earth Day, consisting of 5-6 pick-up loads by themselves. About the last thing the class did was hold a very successful car wash. SOPHOMORE TRIPLE TRIO: ROW: Susan Save la, Pam Hall, Carmen Anderson, Jan Triden.

Under the great supervision of Miss Smidt and Mr. Klug, the class wisely chose their mighty leaders. Pat Serbus was chosen president because of his smarts. Mark Bethke stood on guard as Vice-President. To keep the money rolling in, Kevin Fox was chosen Treasurer because of his mathematical skills. Debbie Nelson kept record of all events. Representing the class in Student Council were: Mary Jo Ruff, Sean Ness, and Pat Serbus. Mary Jo Ruff and Julie Dum- mer displayed their speaking abilities in declamation. Included in the B-team cheerleading squad was Mary Jo Ruff with Trudy Dingels as the alternate. Playing basketball for the B-team Tigers were Sean Ness, Kevin Thompson, Mark Bethke, Jeff Olson, and Tom Simonsen. Sean also helped out on the A-squad. Taking heed of Mr. Imberg's football instructions were Sean Ness, Kevin Thompson, and Mark Bethke. Twenty new freshmen were introduced into the Senior band. Julie Dummer and Tom Simon- sen received a star rating for their participation in Trumpet Trio. The senior high choir wel- comed fourteen new freshmen voices, and one of them, Donna Mickelson won a star rating for her vocal solo at the festival. Activities for the year inclu- ded a giant Rummage Sale in which the Freshmen made over $200. For Sno-Week, the can- didates for Sno-King and Queen were Trudy Dingels and Sean Ness. Our snow sculpture was Chumley the Walrus after our remarkable Mark Bethke. This year proved to be very successful for the class of '74.

Around Thanks- giving we sold pens and made a profit of about $80, which really helped in our class treasury. During Sno- Week some stu- dents showed up and built a snow sculpture, which we named Dino It was very well built and very colorful. Everyone is looking forward to being freshmen next fall and being able to attend the school dances. 4 Eighth Grade Seventh Grade ROW ONE: Loren Zempel, Lonnie Senkyr, Victor Serbus, Barb Eisenbarth, Jeff Crain, Brian Serbus.

SIXTH GRADE We, the sixth graders, have had a very good, busy year. In the early part of the year we took a hike up to Ceder Mountain, and on May 20 we took a trip to St. Paul. We visited the capital, and Fort Snelling. We also enjoyed a boat ride on the Mississippi River. Throughout the year we were studying thinking skills. These skills, to mention a few, consisted of observing, criticizing, inter- preting, and classifying. nir- 1 YE team FIFTH GRADE There were many highlights for us as fifth graders. We remember this as the year we joined the elementary band and played for Awards night. Our most memorable art project was making porcupine balls for Christmas. We also enjoyed working with yam. Trench was our most enjoyable game in phy. ed. The girls enjoyed cheerlead- ing for the basketball games between the fourth and fifth graders. The boys had fun playing on Mr. Lemke's bas- ketball team. We thought that it was interesting to watch Lu Ann’s tooth decay in a bottle of coke. The girls re- member this as the year for maxi dresses. This was our first year to use the SRA Reading Laboratory. It really kept us busy. Learning the fifty states and their capitals was another big project for us. ROW ONE: Russell Hennen, Denise Senkyr, Tim Scharfencamp, Tom Triden, Ann Rodvik.

We enjoyed watching movies and studying different countries and states. In art we made paper mache objects. We also made hangers covered with yam. For us, study- ing German was very interesting. We learned conversa- tions and other important words. In the winter we enjoyed ice skating. We also played a lot of basketball. After school we played the sixth graders. Also at half time of a high school game, we got to play the fifth grade. In the spring we enjoyed playing baseball. THIRD GRADE The third grade class has accomplished a lot this year. In arithmetic we learned how to divide and multiply and to borrow and carry. We learned how to write better in penmanship. In art we made paper mache and butter- flies of different colors. We also made hangers out of yam. We gave our mothers foliage plants for Mother's Day. In health we learned about teeth and cleanliness and in English we learned about no and not words. We also learned to read well. ROW ONE: Todd Douma, John Rodvik, Diane Goelz, Chris Williams, Kathy Crose, Kari Distad.

SECOND GRADE The second grade class will never forget the play Susan wrote and the fun we had putting it on. Some other things we remember are new art experiences such as working with real clay, tempers, starch and charcoal. The boys, especially, will remember the exciting basket ball games with third graders. Weekly Readers and cursive writing were other new things this year. No one will forget Bobby's string beans grown for Science. FIRST GRADE First grade for us was quite an experience. We made new friends and learned to raise our hands to talk instead of talking whenever we wanted to. We learned to sound out words and write sentences. We got to play games in Phy. Ed. and see films. We also learned to tell time and to count to one hundred. Besides that we learned basic health rules. We remember how scared we were when we had our first fire drill and how much fun it was to dress up in Halloween costumes and visit the other grades. This was the year we made decorations for our first school Christmas tree. We were also in our first Christmas program. We also had fun making flowers, kites, cater- pillers, pictures, wreaths, and bunnies in art. ROW ONE: Anita Hensley, Mary Munsell, Eric Benson, Debbie Sather, Christine Koupal, Tammi Distad.

Kindergarten With the addition of Mrs. Phyllis Prahl, teacher, the first kindergarten class of Franklin got under way. Nineteen young- sters enjoyed the new kindergarten equipment and new toys. Building with blocks, playing house, learning their ABC's, count- ing from 1-20, and nap time were the moments to remember. The innocent faces of above are the leaders of tomorrow.

We cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individual. Towards this end, each of us must work toward his own highest development, accepting. . . his share of responsi- bility in the general life of humanity. Marie Curie Pink Rose But CLASS COLORS Pink and Purple CLASS FLOWER May 27, 1971, Graduation Day- a day which thirty Seniors have waited for twelve long rough years. For some, this day brought loads of happiness, joy, and anti- cipation. For others, it brought tears of sadness and nostalgia. And for ail, it brought a sense of fear mixed with confidence and courage. Our security blankets would be taken away- we would be on our own in the big world. So as both our salutatorian and valedictorian, Sue Gaukstad and June Klinker, pointed out, we have much to look back on, but much more to look forward to. It points to the phrase, Today is the first day of the rest of your life. A song sung by the choir, We’ve Only Just Begun , fits the situation excellently since we are just beginning to Take the world as it is, but leave it better!
