Galesville High School - Arrowhead Yearbook (Galesville, WI)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1975 volume:

ARROWHEAD 1975 Gale Ettrick Trempealeau High School Galesville, Wisconsin Editor: Barry Enghagen Advisor: Francis Green Dedication Mrs. Hanson has been the yearbook advisor for the past seven years. This year she was re- lieved of her job by Mr. Green and that's putting it mildly. Putting a yearbook together is hard work and causes many headaches. Meeting deadlines, waiting for pictures, and raising money all add to the frustration. Of course making a yearbook isn't all work and no play. We try to have a good time and the excitement comes in seeing the finished product. We of the yearbook staff are thankful and proud to have worked under Mrs. Hanson and congratulate her on the fine yearbooks put together under her supervision. We dedicate the 1975 Arrowhead head to Mrs. Hanson. 2 Table Of Contents DEDICATION...............................2 SENIORS.................................I3 SPORTS..................................25 ORGANIZATIONS...........................57 UNDERCLASSMEN...........................97 FACULTY................................I11 DIRECTORIES............................126 ADVERTISING............................131 3 ’75 A Class The class of '75 had an exceptionally successful year, starting with Homecoming. Their creative float, themed They're only 1 4 lb-ers, received a first in the parade while their wall poster was judged second. With the band SHOWBIZ, Don't let the Sun Go Down On Me was a perfect way to end the class's last Home- coming together. Being well organized, the Seniors decided that imperial purple and lavender should be their colors and purple- tinted carnations their flower. The class motto, We are the light of tomorrow's sunrise, is positive proof of their confidence and determination to get what needs to be done, done. It also represents each member's self-drive to be what they want to be and do what they want to do in order to achieve their own personal goals. As the year slowly came to a close, and the excitement of graduation became more realistic, the Seniors reluc- tantly said goodbye to four fantastic years at G-E-T. We may not always have each other, but we'll always have our memories. The senior class officers were: Ronda Beime, Secretary; Barry Enghagen Vice President; Barb Sacher President; Cindy Kopp Treasurer.

Composed mostly of novice golfers, the girls' golf team competed in seven matches, win- ning two and losing five. Three of the matches were lost by a total of eight strokes. The team placed sev- enth in the regional tournament at Black River Falls. Kim Williamson was medalist in five of the seven matches. The team was coached by Mrs. Audrey Nerby. Sparta 262 G.E.

The distance was changed this year from 2.5 miles to 3 miles. Home meets were run at the Galesville Golf Course. The top seven runners were Ken Sahlstrom, Dave Allen, Keith Ouellette, Ed Stull, Tom Burt, Stan Leisgang, and Steve Leavitt. The team was coached by Richard Pampuch. This year's cross country team was made up of two sen- iors, four juniors, three sophomores, and no freshmen. Our team effort was about 16%, but valuable experience was gained for next season. 27 Once The Foundation Is Laid The Sometimes the cornerstone of a building is the hardest part to put in place. It is the foundation upon which the rest of the structure must stand. We must all have something from which to build upon. Winning in 1974 did not come easy. There were many set backs before the first victory was achieved. But, that last victory, is the cornerstone for the future Red- men football teams. The senior?, this year gave the underclassmen some- thing from which to build upon. For this I feel we owe the seniors of 1974 a great thanks. Once the foundation is layed the other pieces seem to fall in place. So to you, the underclassmen of Gale- Ettrick-Trempealeau, you now have your beginning— your cornerstone. Thank you seniors for giving us a place from which to start, our cornerstone. Coach Hanson ROW 1: D. Ryder, R. Solberg, J. Scherr, D. Wall, W. Craig, R. Weyant, M. Nichols, P. Blaha. ROW 2: T.

Our record for the year was 4 wins and 2 losses. We scored a total of 60 points and allowed our opponents to have 45 points. Many of the players were outstanding at certain times, but Dave Wall, Paul Blaha, and Jim Scherr were given the added recognition of being called on to play reg- ularly on the varsity squad for the last half of the sea- son. It is certain that this team will add a lot of qual- ity to our varsity squad in the years to come. This year, 1974-1975, was the first time G-E-T had a freshmen football team. Mr. Dave Lund served as coach and he was proud of the effort and eagerness put forth by the class of '78. The team's season record was two wins and four losses.

The Ecology Club sponsored a Smash the Mustang contest where you could take your turn swinging at an old Mustang with a heavy steel bar. This contest wasn't as successful as hoped, but anyone who participated had a chance to prove his or her strength or weakness. Chosen for king and queen were John Christianson and Cindy Kopp. Their attendants were Clayton Dahl and Cindy Scheller, Gordy Jacobs and Renee Wood, Tom Smith and Mary McKeeth, Dave Towlands and LaVon Emerson, Todd Cook and Kelly Kopp, and Jerry Collins and Darcy Gamoke. The band, Pom Pon girls, and the floats helped make the homecoming parade one to remember. The dance in the gym was decorated for the theme, Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me , with music provided by Show Bizz . ROW 1: C. Dahl, C. Scheller, G. Jacobs, R. Wood, T. Smith, M. McKeeth, J.

The year could be classified as a close one , in a number of ways. For one, they learned what it is to be a close knit group of wrestlers, working for a victory and hav- ing a good time in the process. The year started out with a tie against a more experi- enced Black River Falls High School. This gave us an indication that the schedule was to be filled with close matches. The team at press time is 3-10-1 in dual match competition with two matches left on the sched- ule. The record does not indicate the strength of the team, as to this point they are averaging 25 points per match and were on the losing end of five close dual matches lost by 12 or less points. The Grapplers improved their tournament achievements finishing 5th in the Mustang Invitational and 8th in the Dairyland Invitational. Senior 145 Dan Uhl and Sopho- more 105« Greg Updike won championships at the Mus- tang Tournament. Sophomore 132 Jeff Me Donah fin- ished 2nd and Freshmen 98 Dave McDonald finished 4th at that tournament. At the Dairyland Invitational the team finished 8th out of 16 teams. Dan Uhl and Jeff Me Donah finished 3rd and Greg Updike came in 4th. Wrestlers with the best records to this point are 145« Dan Uhl 17-2, Junior 112« Mike Updike 8-4-2, 132« Jeff Me Donah 17-4 and 105« Greg Updike 13-4-1. The wrestlers are starting to be noticed by other coaches of the area as a very promising up and coming team. They will only lose 4 seniors by graduation and have a strong crop of sophomores with another year of experience. Look for the best wrestling ever next year. 34 G.E.T.

In spite of this lack of experience they won all six of their ball games before Christmas. Since Christmas however they have lost 7 of 9 ball games and are working hard to get things back together before tournament action begins. Jerry Collins, Clayton Dahl, Clayton Harris, and Dan Johnson have started most games this year, along with John Christianson. Steve Smith, Bob Jaszew- ski, and Ken Sahlstrom have all seen considerable action in reserve roles. Other squad members are Bob Baer, Mike Nichols, Rick Sacia, Ryan Solberg, Tom Stellpflug, and Rich Weyant. LEFT: Hey, the basket is to your left. 37 ABOVE: ROW 1: T. Spencer, B. Jaszewski, R.

And Freshmen The G-E-T Junior Varsity team, which is made up entirely of Sophomores, has played twelve games thus far in the 1974-75 season. The Junior Redmen have compiled a ten win, two loss record. G-E-T has maintained an offensive average of 51 points per game while allowing opponents to score an average of 40 points per game. Balanced scoring has been a chief asset In the success of the Junior Varsity. Six players have done the bulk of the scoring, although all reserves have had a hand in scoring and in the success of the team. Leading scorers for the Junior Varsity team were Vic- tor Becker 12.75, Todd McLeod 8.0, Jeff Lund 7.6, Jim Scherr 7.8, Randy Daffinson 6.7, and Tim Mc- Cormick 5.0.

Snowf The fourth annual Snow Ball was again sponsered by the student council. This years theme was Snow- flake '75 . This was the first year that it was an in- formal dance, which proved to be much more popular with the students than previous formal Snow Balls. The court was chosen in the usual manner with each class selecting its own representative. Each girl chosen her own escort. The student body then voted on these class representatives for the queen. President of the student council, Dave Hanson, crowned Kathy Hovell queen and Randy Severson king. Attending the royalty were Diana Hjelsand and Rick Sacia, Sue Tschumper and Dave Williamson, Angie Masaro and Steve Erickson. The band Chaos set the mood for the grand dance following the coronation. Every one enjoyed them- selves and had a good time. LEFT: D. Hielsand, R. Sacia, Queen K. Howell, King R. Severson, M. Masaro, S. Erickson, S. Tschumper, and D.

This year's all-around competitors were Kris and Kim Ofs- dahl and the team was well balanced in all areas. Heidi Folkedahl, the captain, advanced to the regionals with her optional uneven parallel bars routine. Ten girls traveled to Waukesha, to see the state tournament, the only co-educational tournament in the state. ROW 1: K. Corcoran, L. Updike, D. Hammer, L. McCormick, P. Dahl, B. Guse. ROW 2: L.

About seventy-eight boys tried out for the team and we had twenty-seven meets for both A and MB teams. Trackmen Our indoor season record was 6 1 2 to 13 1 2. We placed fifth in the La Crosse invitational and tenth in the Menomonie invitational. Our outdoor team record was 54 to 35 and meet record 3 to 8. Our tournament team record was 4 to 18. We were fifth in the regionals and fourteenth in the sectionals. Terry Smith was our only state qualifier. In the 880 yard dash he had a time of 2:03.1 min. sec. Our team track record for the whole season was 64 1 2 to 66 1 2, about 50%. Our freshmen and sophomore team won all four of the triangular meets, placed second in the G.E.T. relays, fourth in the G.E.T. double invitational and fifth in the Coulee Conference Meet. The freshmen placed fourth of thirty-one schools :n the Knights of Columbus relays. ROW 1: R. Solberg, J. Collins, K. Sahlstrom, T. Smith, G. Jacobs, S. Bautch, T. McCormick, B. Hein. ROW 2: J.

Students are selected on the basis of competitiveness, quick response, breadth of reading, and faculty advice. Team members then re- hearse and study hundreds of possible questions with their coach, who was Mr. Robert Christianson. 48 Girls’ Track ROW 1: S. Smith, D. Hjelsand, K. Krumholz. ROW 2: S.

Individual improvement was noticed tre- mendously by Coach Joann Gavinski throughout the season, and she is looking forward to a good second season. Barb McCormick, Anne Lettner, and Sandy Smith were G.E.T. qualifiers for the Sectional meet; in the discus, 440 yard dash, and the mile run respectively. With the returning of these three girls and twenty-five others from last years squad, G-E-T Girls' Track will be look- ing forward to a better season in 1975. 49 Golfers Win Coulee G.E.T. didn't just breeze through the conference as they had the past years, but managed to hold the title by only one point over Holmen. There wasn't any one in- dividual standout but consistency was their reason for success in '74. Of the five regular starting varsity golfers, all placed well in individual medalist standings, with four of the five ranked in the top ten. They were Don Osborn, sec- ond in conference; Todd Cook, third; John Elstad, fifth; and Dan Severson, eighth. The fifth man was Sam Ekern, the only sophomore on the varsity squad. G.E.T. took second in regional competition and placed seventh in the sectionals behind a team that took the state championship, Eau Claire Memorial. The G.E.T. golfers are looking forward to another good season with only one varsity being lost through graduation. Varsity and Junior Varsity Golfers; ROW 1: D. Osborne, S. Smith, S. Ekern, J.

The boys for court were chosen, a theme was picked, and general decorations were decided on. But, of course, by the Friday before Prom everyone was busy with last minute touch-ups. An arch by the doorway, a white bridge, a pond with baby ducks, a false ceiling, and dainty butterflies In pastel trees combined to make the gym a mystical, romantic place. King and Queen were Jerry Collins and Sandy Smith. The Court of Honor included Tom Smith and Jill Car- hart, John Christianson and Lois Hammond, Dave Row- lands and Anne Lettner, Tom Halderson and Becky Williamson, and Gordy Jacobs and Debbie Henderson. Image provided music with the theme, The Way We Were . The hard work and time put into decora- tion were appreciated by everyone who came. Those on prom court were, H. Folkedahl, T. Halderson, D. Henderson, G. Jacobs, J. Carhart, T. Smith, S. Smith, J. Collins, L. Hammond, J. Christianson, E. Trim, B. Williamson, D. Rowlands, and A.

Their over all record was 15-4. G-E-T lost a 3-1 hearbreaker to Mel-Min to be elim- inated in the second game of tournament play. The 1974 Redmen were a young ball team. Steve Hov- el I, Larry Stuhr, Bill Stephan, John Elstad and Larry Dahl were the only seniors on the squad playing team. Hovel I and Stephan will be missed on the mound; be- tween them they accounted for 10 of our 15 victories. The rest of the squad consisted of outfielders Dave Wall, Dave Rowlands, Gordon Jacobs, and Tim McCor- mick; infielders Jerry Collins, Steve Smith, Bob Baer, Jim Walters and Jeff Lund; and catcher John Christianson. Bill Stephan, Jerry Collins, Steve Hovell, John Chris- tianson and Dave Wall were honored by being chosen to the all-conference team. The J. V.'s finished the season with a very good 11-2 record to keep hopes for 1975 very high. RIGHT: Strike three, you're out! 54 ABOVE: B. Baer, J. Christianson, S. Smith, J. Collins, J. Walters, D.

Cochrane-Fountain City chose to forfeit a late season make-up game to the Redmen while co-leader Arcadia was toppling hapless Holmen to end out their season. Both clubs thus finished the sea- son with 12-2 league marks. Oddly, Arcadia's only 2 conference losses were to G.E.T. by scores of 2-0 and 5-4. Meanwhile, however the Redmen were eliminated in WIAA Regional Tournament play last Friday by the stingy defense of Coulee rival Melrose-Mindoro. Tower- ing right hander Dick Klrchner mystified the Redmen with an assortment of curve balls and change-ups through the first 3 Innings, setting the Redmen down in order each frame. Then the Mustang defense took over the last 4 innings when Kirchner, who looks old enough to run for the senate, began to tire. Both clubs really, played excellent defense. G.E.T.'s Johnny Christean- son scaled the fence near the Redmen dugout to snare Kirchner's pop foul for the 3rd out in the 3rd inning. And Paul Hoff, M-M's 3rd baseman, made a Brooks Robinson stop of a shot over the bag off the bat of Steve Hovel leading off the 7th, and threw him out at first with help from 1st baseman Jeff Rand who tlIk the throw on the home plate side of first and tagged out Hovell. G.E.T. had reached the regional finals by shelling Hol- men 30-0 last year. Pitcher Dave Wall blanked the Vikings on just 2 hits, one of them a double by Reed Stone in the 4th inning. The Redmen, on the other hand, pounded Holmen pitching for 17 hits including 3 each by Wall and Bill Stephan. Third Baseman Steve Hovell blasted a 3-run homer in the 4th inning during the midst of the blitz. Kirchner's lead off double ignited a 2-run first inning rally that proved to be all the runs M-M needed to ad- vance to sectional play. Tony Brown followed with a sharp single through the box that pitcher Steve Hovell narrowly avoided. After the Mustang's Larry Stuhr walked to load the bases, Mark Schlieffer grounded in- to a double play but the fielder's choice scored Kirch- ner. A throwing error on 3rd baseman Jim Walters then scored Brown from 3rd with what became the winning run of the ball game. The Redmen couldn't fathom Kirchner, ordinarily a flame thrower, until the 4th inning. Gordy Jacobs reached first on the 1st of 2 Mustang's errors and moved to 2nd on a wild pitch. Jacobs later scored on a passed ball after Dave Wall's single had advanced to 3rd. Me I rose-Mindoro added an insurance run in the 6th when Schlieffer doubled, then scored following short- stop Larry Stuhr's wild throw to 1st. G.E.T. managed to get runners on 1st and 2nd following two 6th inning outs but a running catch by 2nd baseman Tom Young of Steve Smith's shallow fly to right abrupt- ly ended Redmen hopes of a 3rd consecutive state tour- nament berth. G.E.T.'s Hovell pitched well in defeat, allowing just 4 hits and one earned run. But Kirchner was even stin- gier, giving up just 3 safeties. G.E.T.'s lone run was unearned. The loss leaves the Redmen with a 15-4 final season record, particularly impressive perhaps for a young ball club with just 4 graduated seniors on the roster.

With Barry as our editor and Sarah as our co-editor, and several other people who rarely knew what was going on, we could be counted on for missing our deadlines. Almost every night, someone could be found typing copy, drawing dummy pages, cropping pictures, or drawing final page plans. By the end of an evening of hard work, Barry was sometimes in a frenzy and would attack his dummy copies. Others would kick chairs and throw pencils or erasers. After school and on weekends we sold candy and fruitcakes or asked for donations to support our cause. Although our fingers were worked to the bone and our hair was frizzied, we hope you enjoy our finished product as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you.

Read All About It During October, several of us decided we wanted to have a school newspaper, so we recruited members for a staff. We presented the idea to Mr. Valisak and he seemed to think it was a good one. When we managed to convince Mr. Gautsch that he should be our advisor, Mr. Howard gave us official permission to begin pub- lishing. We held our first meeting immediately and elected Ellouise Boettcher editor and Janice Jostad, Debbie Kllmek, Albert Tschumper, and Teresa Stage co-editors. Before cranking out the premier issue the editorial staff attended the annual Chippewa Valley Newspaper Association Conference in Eau Claire, The conference proved very worthwhile. We learned to put a paper to- gether and covered reporting, feature writing, writing editorials, and making proper headlines. R is our hope that from our humble and earnest begin- ning we may grow a newspaper that will become a genuine and respected forum for the expression exchange of student ideas.

What’s Developing In The During the 1974-1975 school year the Photo Club was engaged in advanced photography. They were involved in taking candid pictures for the annual and also por- traits for the athletes. Two members returned from last year to teach the basics of photography to twelve new members. With more students being interested each year year, we hope to improve our Photo Club in the years to come. The 1974-1975 officers were: Dave Hanson, president; Mary McKeeth, vice-president; and Barb Mason as secretary. 60 ROW 1: R. Fraust, P. Bautch, D. Hanson, B. Mason, M. McKeeth, F. Green. ROW 2: J.

The ecology club Wood's men continued in the fine tradition by aiding in the organization of the Lake Marinuka rehabilitation district. Cindy Kopp, a club member, presented the top paper at the Western Wisconsin-Upper Michigan Science and Humanities Symposia which allowed her a trip to West Point to present her paper at the National Symposia. Anne Lettner also presented a paper and missed the trip to West Point by .02 of a point. Other tentative projects the club has are working on the lake impact study, developing the school forest, cross- country skiing, canoe trip and further scholarship competition.

They organized a wall poster contest that was won by the sophomore class and amended a part of their constitution. The student council succeeded in changing the Snowball to an informal dance and sponsoring a curling bonspiel. They arranged the home- coming parade, bonfire and sockhop. They worked hard on the idea of a Student Advisory Committee and planned to have the problem solved by the end of the year. The president of the student council was Dave Hanson and the vice-president was John Strong. Under the guid- ance of Mr. Steve Prussing, the student council grew tremendously this year, and hopes to be even more ac- tive next year. RIGHT: Secretary Lyn Anderson posts minutes of a meeting.

The Solo and Ensemble contest was held in Whitehall this year, while the Con- cert Band contest was held at the University of Winona. Throughout the year, the band participated in three concerts. For the Christmas concert the band played The Sound of Music, God Rest You Merry Gentle- men, Jingle Bells, Twasthe Night Before Christ- mas, with a narration by Cindy Kopp, and closed with the band accompanying the chorus to the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The Pop's concert included several modern numbers. The Spring concert consisted of music played for the contest. The Pep band again provided enjoyable listen- ing at home football and basketball games. The march- ing band was also kept busy this year at Broiler Days in Arcadia and the homecoming at both G-E-T and UW LaCrosse.

Presents Mr. Scrooge The Drama Department enjoyed and appreciated the coop- eration of the Music Department in its December production, Mr. Scrooge. The delighful musical adaptation of Charles Dicken's A CHRISTMAS CAROL was played before an appre- ciative audience of hundreds during each of its three perfor- mances, December 13, 14, and 15. Mr. Scrooge was under the cooperative direction of Mrs. Betty Hatton, Mr. Erik Christiansen, and Mr. Don Rowlands. Over one hundred stu- dents were involved, as a cast of both experienced and unex- perienced drama members plus talented incoming freshmen and an energetic crew made the play one that was acclaimed by the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau audience.

Five per cent of the students in the sophomore class are selected to be provisional members until they become juniors. Then five per cent more may be added during the junior and senior years respectively. This year's activities included working at conferences, concerts, and the local forensics contest. The senior members were sacrificed as slaves. The highlight of the year was having a disc jockey provide music for our mixer which turned out very successful. ROW 1: B. Sacher, J. Carhart, C.

Library Club Continues To The G.E.T. Library Club dates back over forty years as a service group. Members assist daily in circulating and caring for books and other instructional materials. The prime purposes of the organization are to serve fellow students to promote use of all library materials, and to stimulate interest in librarianship as a profession. Membership is limited to forty, and new recruits join In January of each year. Recognition for service is awarded each May, and graduating seniors are given an appreciation dinner each spring. The club was affiliated with the state organization. Students Library Assistants of Wisconsin, again this year, and G.E.T. delegates attended the annual conven- tion held in April.

They became more involved in supporting the team and were more organized. They sat together as a group at athletic contests to lend vocal support to the team and the cheerleaders. Signs again filled the halls and it was decided for the first time to put signs in the boys' locker room for crucial games. The purpose of a Pep Club is to create and promote school spirit, loyalty to the school, and good sports- manship. The members are pledged to support our athletic teams in victory and defeat. During the 1974- 1975 school year the students of the club carried out their duties with pride for the athletes who worked hard and deserved their support.

Advisor and squad gave up their Friday nights for football and basketball home games, and even forfeited a whole Saturday for the LaCrosse Pom Pon Clinic where they learned the newest tricks of the trade. While there, they performed in competition receiving an honorable mention. Homecoming always calls for something special and this year was no exception as the Pom Pon squad awed the audi- ence with an unroutine routine consisting of turning off the lights, and performing with flashlights. One observor said that turning off the lights was a good idea but he'd rather see the girls. This squad had a knack for doing the unordinary all the way from the 50's and bobby socks to swimming on the floor. Oh-well, captain Becky Williamson, and co-captain Cathy Larson agreed, being on the squad was hard work, but it was worth it! ROW 1: L. Emerson, S. Smith, L. Stegemeyer. ROW 2: B Sacher, K.

Mr. Valiska helped us work out many of our problems that occurred while practicing for each event. He gave us suggestions which were helpful to each of us. Mrs. Jean Kribs joined us as assistant ad- visor prior to the basketball season. Her experience in similar endeavors contributed greatly to improving our performances. The colorguard squad was composed of seven girls: Marilyn Leavitt, captain; Joan Olson, co-captain; Renee Wood, Roxie Bierne, Debbie Klimek, Debbie Klomsten, and Beth Remus. They participated in every home athletic event and in some of the parades around the area. They felt it was necessary to recognize the flags as a part of our school and our school events.

In 1974-1975 we solicited for UNICEF to aid children all over the world; planned a childrens circus; sup- ported a Mexican girl and visited the nursing home. A first for us was the election of Mary Wilber as a state F.H.A. officer and her attendance at the national con- vention in Chicago. Mary has been very busy all year planning and attending fall rallies, sending materials to be printed In the RED ROSE REPORTER, planning the program and activities for the state F.H.A. con- vention held at Green Lake In April. Laura Wagner and Barbara Guse won the awards for the most hours contributed to working on the football popcorn stand. This year's officers were Becky Williamson, president; Beth Remus, vice-president; Lori Corcoran, secretary; Mary Wilber, treasurer; Barbara Sacher, recreation chairman; and Renee Paulus, historian. Mrs. Shelba Paulus acted as chapter mother and Mrs. McCloed and Mrs. Jacobson were advisers. « J‘ P0 ' L‘ Wa9DneD Smlth' N- Gibbons, L. Grover, B. Guse, P. Quail, L. Tranberg. ROW 2: D.

Is Bigger And This year the Girl's Athletic Association got off to sort of a slow start. Then Mrs. Mcleod offered her services as GAA advisor. But due to an unfortunate accident the GAA was left advisorless again just as the bowling sea- son drew to an end. Then at semester time Miss Krajco, a staff aid, came to our rescue and the rest of the year progressed smoothly. The year's activities included bowling, curling, volleyball, and softball. In the early part of the year we went roller skating with the Industrial Arts Club and we spent most of our spare time building up our treasury in the latter part of the year. The officers for the 1974-75 school year were: Presi- dent; Renee Wood, Vice-President; Joni Scherr, Sec- retary; Colette Glowcheski, and Treasurer; Kelly Kopp. I 1 HIM ROW 1: B. Sacher, K.

Shakespeare Did It, The Drama Club is a group consisting of those who are interested in the greater understanding and pro- motion of the theatre arts. Throughout the year, its members attend and produce plays, hold monthly meetings and raise funds to purchase new stage equip- ment. Among the 1974-1975 highlights was the mus- ical Mr. Scrooge which was produced as a Christmas musical in December. Officers this year were Joel Vazquez, president; Ed Stull, vice-president; Candy Hogden, secretary; Beth Hill, treasurer; Mary Runkel, publicity chairman; and Ed Stull and Debbie Klimek, reporters. The advisors were Mrs. Hatton and Mrs. Runnestrand. 90 We Can Too! LEFT: Galesville 1675.

New this year were storytelling and demonstration speaking. Although only a few students participate, the advisors, Mr. Jack Jesseski, Mrs. Betty Hatton, Mrs. Elaine Nelson, and Mrs. Mary Esther Runnestrand believed the fun and experience of those students was worth while. Those who participated gained poise, thinking ability and new friends in competition. RIGHT: James Larson practices before a small audience before he competes. 92 ROW 1: T. Stage, C. Hill, D. Brush.

Under the leadership of Steve Leavitt, the club was reorganized to better serve the needs of the staff in the operation and maintainance of the equipment. The club took a survey to assertain which faculty members did not know how to use what equipment. A clinic was estab- lished after school for interested faculty. The club did an excellent job In filming football and basketball games this year too. The club expects to improve each year if the faculty and members cooperate with each other.

Class rings and prom were the main high- lights. The problem of financing their prom was In the minds of just about all Juniors. The worrisome problem was lifted a little by having the first mixer of the year with the theme as The Night Chicago Died . Placing third on their float, It's A Cinch to Saddle 'em , helped too. With a touch of sadness in their hearts, the Juniors can't believe three years of high school life have gone by so fast. They look forward, though, to their oncoming senior year when they will be top's in the high school. The junior class officers were Mike Updike, President; Teri Dahl, Vice-president; Laurie Tranberg, Secretary; and Rhonda Sanders, Treasurer. R. Baer W. Baird A. Becker R. Beirne J. Bemis J.

When the first opportunity arose, they raised their voices and were awarded the Spirit Stick after many un- successful attempts as freshmen.

Kahil Gibran Billy brought us much joy and happiness. He filled the lives of so many people that loved him. His death has been a shock to us all, but death will not separate us from him. Billy by Irene Wason Rapture is not for everyday, but on August 5, 1958 it must have been a day for rapture, to be bom anew, as my grand- son Billy was born that day. From that day on there were so many ecstacies. It seemed like there was just not enough time for all of the joys. He loved all of the seasons. In spring he would go with his fish pole to the creek that runs thru our farm. Then a bit later softball held his attention. The older men on the team had a special delight in his en- thusiasm. Music was part of his life too. He loved his drums and spent hours with them. On summer evenings I could hear him beating out his special sounds as they came wafting across our meadow. In autumn he studied the sky hoping for an early snowfall so that he could get on his snowmobile and swiftly explore the length of our farm. To me Billy was like a little knight in shining armour. On September 6, 1974 something beautiful went out of this world to God's higher realm. V 106 Freshmen The freshmen class got off to a roaring start by receiv- ing a second on their homecoming float. They placed a stork on top of a house and the theme was We're Expecting Victory. Their first mixer was held In November. The theme was So You Are A Star ' sung by the Hudson Brothers. The freshmen class officers were Robert Wolfe, Pres- ident; Lisa Anderson, Vice-President; Angie Masaro, Secretary; and Dawn Helstad, Treasurer. S. Berg M. Blaha M. Bortle J. Bryhn D. Burt J. Burt G.

Wilber Adminis ABOVE: Norm Valiska BELOW: William Zaborowski It is again a pleasure to have been asked to provide a written message to you who are reading or glancing through the 1975 Arrowhead. As I comtemplate what words I should put together to formulate and impart that message, I realize how difficult it is to accomplish that task at the time of the year it must be written. We have just completed our football season. I suppose it must be said that from the point of wins and losses it was a disappointing season. However, I believe another point must be kept in mind. It is easy to play for and support a winning team. It is not so easy to provide the same enthusiasm for a team that looses. It was significant to notice that the Spirit that has typified G.E.T. was not diminished throughout the season. This held true for both players ana student fans. I am sure that this spirit, along with the talent that was exhibited by the underclassmen who will be playing Varsity next year will prevail, and that the combination will elevate G.E.T. back to its rightful 1 spot in the football realm. We are look- ing forward to what appears to be successful season in the other sports this year. Many compiments have been given in regard to the conference banners now hang- ing in our gym. These were purchased with the proceeds of the Alumni basketball game 3 years ago. Our schools contribution to the enviromental move- ment, Cindy Kopp, has won the State competition and appears to have an excellent chance to win the National competition. Many other organizations and activities, along with the entire staff contributed in some way to make up the total environment at G.E.T, Flexible Modular Scheduling is again under invest- igation and by the time this yearbook is printed a decision will have been made concerning our course of action in scheduling. All these factors combined make up the memories we will think of as we page through this yearbook. To those of you who are about to leave us, may I say that each and everyone of you have contributed in your own way towards building the tradition we know is G.E.T. I would like to wish each of you the best of everything always. Mr. Zaborowski formerly taught Industrial Arts at White Water, Montana and served as Vocational Com- munications Director in Tomah, Wisconsin. He joined G-E-T this year. His duties here included Vocatioanl Communications Director and business manager. Mr. Zaborowski was in charge of buildings, grounds, transportation, purch- asing items for the school, and the hot lunch program. Mr. Zaborowski's primary purpose was to save the school district money. He thought the students were great and wished he had more to do with them. He said, I like it around here and it is so pleasant around here. If I didn't like it here, I wouldn't have come. 112 tration ABOVE: ROW 1: F. DOUGLAS, K. LERUM B. EVENSON, W. BESELER, H. LYON. ROW 2: L. ERICKSON, R. DELANEY, J. SACIA, R. BIBBY. BELOW: ROBERT HOWARD The School Board for the 1974-1975 school year con- sisted of nine members instead of the usual seven. It is safe to assume that nine heads are better than seven. Though the School Board's main duties involved budget funding, school policy, and community involvement, the School Board this year undertook two special pro- jects. They intended to get the new elementary school built in Galesville, and they investigated flexible- modular scheduling for the high school. Mr. Howard, our superintendent, was able to devote more time this year to instructional matters from pre- school through high school due to the new business manager and vocational communication director, Mr. Zaborowski. Throughout the year, Mr. Howard was involved with in-service planning and teacher-student evaluation. Besides his many duties which include hiring the new teachers, negotiations for new teaching contracts, con- struction of a new grade school and bus shed, Mr. Howard was involved in the research of flexible-mod- ular scheduling at G.E.T. Because of the many alter- natives in flexible-modular scheduling, Mr. Howard must help to decide which one best fits the needs of the students. 113 Help! BELOW: H. Ekern, C. Sime, J. Fitzpatrick, J.

Of family members, 50% are male so it is only fitting that this segment of the school population be encour- aged to enroll in home economics offerings. Foods classes are the most integrated ; 33% male. Their influence was felt in a unit on preparing meals featur- ing duck, squirrel, pheasant and fish. In line with the new equipment pilot programs for parent education, new materials were organized for the semester course in child growth and development. Since both men and women become parents (in equal porportions) and many vocations and much community work deals with children, both boys and girls should profit from this course offering. One of the most enjoy- albe aspects of the semesters work was the play school during May involving a dozen or so pre-kindergarten children. ABOVE: RON SOLBERG ABOVE RIGHT: JULIE JACOBSON ABOVE: MEREDITH MCLOED During the 1974-1975 school year. Drivers Education was presented as the same three-phase course as last year; class- room, simulator, and behind-the-wheel. The classroom part of Drivers Education had a special assign- ment dealing with traffic safety. Projects varied from the construction of posters to observing a policeman in his patrol car and his duties, to tnaking a video tape of driving problems related to student drivers. Plans were presented for doing a skit and filmstrip to illustrate traffic problems and safe solutions. In addition to Mr. Solberg as a behind-the-wheel teacher, Mr. Duellman assisted after school and on weekends. Cert- ainly Drivers Education counts as a course designed to save lives and of course everyone wants to drive—except Jill Carhart. US Social Studies This year's World and American History classes have been able to use the services of Channel 31. Each week students could watch programs that focused on such topics as the Romans, the Greeks, Crusades, Shakes- peare, the French Revolution, Freud, Marx, Witches of Salem, Total War, and many others. These programs are well-researched, and are of professional caliber. The students in Mr. Lund's Consumer Economic classes had the opportunity to listen to many interesting speak- ers. Several insurance agents came and spoke to the students about life, home, and auto insurance. A lawyer from Whitehall came and spoke to the Political Be- havior classes on student buyers, disruption, and free speech. 116 ABOVE: ED SCHELLER ABOVE: ROBERT CHRISTIANSON Ind. Arts — Agriculture ABOVE: ROBERT DUELLMAN ABOVE: DON HENDRICKSON ABOVE: STEVE PRUSSING The Industrial Arts Department again betters its de- partment by getting new equipment. This year more new molds were purchased for the foundry area, and new meters for the electronics classes were purchased. A button making machine and a surface grinder were purchased mainly for the use in the Industrial Arts Club. This year the ninth grade classes were revised to include Electronics, Sheet Metal, Basic Woodworking, and Plastics. Once again the Industrial Arts Department offered In- dustrial Arts for girls to juniors and seniors. This class included Home Mechanics, Woodworking, Leather working, and Plastics. The girls in this class made Gloria Steinman, editor of Ms. magazine, proud. Agriculture again changed its curriculum to meet today's needs and challenges. There was a one-year course in Agriculture, but all other courses were on the semester basis. There were; Animal Husbandry, Machinery and Welding, Agriculture Mechanics, Agri-business, Conser- vation of Natural Resources, Soil and Forest Conservation, Agricultural Business Management I and Agricultural Business Management II. The Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau FFA had four members plus advisor who attended the 47th FFA National Con- vention at Kansas City on October 15-18. Those at- tending were Roger Byom, Lee Sahlstrom, Wayne Craig, and Richard Tisthammer who is Section 3 Vice President of Wisconsin, and Donald Hendrickson who is FFA advisor. The highlight of the trip was the speech by President Ford. During the summer Mr. Hendrickson worked with FFA, WJDA, and student enterprises. Science Department Science at Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau was no longer just book work and tests. Most of the classes spent time in lab work. Working by themselves or with a partner, the students proved the things they read about. Introductory Physical Science remained the most pop- ular class because it served as an introduction to the other sciences. Mr. Accola had his I.P.S. classes prove, among other things, that plastic will sink if it is denser than water. Biology classes with Mr. Pampuch and Mr. Cecil went on many field trips including ones to the School Forest and Perrot State Park. The survival of the fittest law applied on one specifi field trip and the buses came back short two people. Where were you, Dave and Roxie? Mr. Fitzpatrick taught Chemistry I and II and Physics classes consisting of juniors and seniors. These advan- ced sciences involved individual lab work. Mr Fitz- patrick was known for giving encouragement and help where needed. For example, That substance might be explosive at room temperature, Rick. ABOVE: VERDUN CECIL BELOW: DON FITPATRICK BELOW: DICK PAMPUCH H8 Mathematics The biggest change in the Math Department was the addition of Mr. Accola this past year. Mr. Accola who has his Masters Degree, taught five classes in five dif- ferent rooms; two hours of Geometry, one hour of Al- gebra I and two hours of Introductory Physical Science. Mr. Worra had most of the freshmen in either Algebra I or General Math. New textbooks were purchased this year for Algebra I. Instead of grades on daily work, grades were taken for frequent quizzes and tests. Mr. Gautch taught Geometry, Applied Math, Algebra II and Math IV. These last two were classes for the talented math student, college-bound. It can be under- stood why Math IV students, all seniors, would enjoy using calculators after already completing three years of high school math. Some companies lent some of their calculators to the Math Department for use in its classes. Later in the year a programable calculator was purchased. This instrument worked as a calculator and could be programmed like a computer. BELOW: JOEL WORRA 119 ABOVE: LARRY GAUTSCH Business Education New equipment in the Business Department this year includes two electronic calculators and an IBM Executive typewriter. The thirteen girls in Office Education were trained in the basic skills of filing, recordkeeping, ten-key adding machines, electronic calculators, data processing, key punch, telephone usage, many types of duplicating and current office procedures. Third quarter the class formed a model office known as the Lester-Hill Corporation. During the fourth quarter the girls went out Into the busi- ness world to receive on-the-job training in offices in our Galesville, Ettrlck, and Trempealeau area. ABOVE: GWEN HANSON LEFT: AUDREY NERBY 120 English Department ABOVE: ELAINE NELSON BELOW: BETTY HATTON ABOVE: JACK JESSESSKI The 1974-1975 year is the third year that the English department of G-E-T has offered the upper classmen selective, semester classes. Besides the basic writing, literature, and speech classes that have been taught in the past, we now have a new elective to select. Talk It Up. The course deals basically with the American language. The origin of words, how words grow, how they are put together, and the influences which have caused these words are the main concern of the course. Hopefully in the coming years there will be a wider variety of electives in English to choose from. This will help the teachers of the English department to improve their aim of helping each student understand what he reads and clearly write on paper how he feels. BELOW: MARY ESTHER RUNNESTAND Physical Education Physical education is again putting emphasis on lifetime activities. Golf, bowling and badminton were offered on a limited basis to underclassmen for the first time. The seniors were offered a great variety of activities to create an elective program within the required one. Co- educational activities remained an important and enjoy- able part of the program with the annual co-ed volley- ball tournament for juniors and freshmen being one of the highlights. It is hoped that with the gradual shift from team sports to individual sports, the student, as he progresses thru his high school years and beyond, will be better prepared to make constructive use of his leisure time. Music Department LEFT: ERIK CHRISTIANSEN BELOW: DON ROWLANDS New to the Music Department this year was Mr. Christ- iansen, who directed Chorus and Glee Club. This was his first year teaching and he had already planned some new Ideas to make Chorus more select and possibly divide it into two groups. Last summer the band was kept busy with various act- ivities. With the new pep band music acquired over the summer, the band performed a concert in the Square at Galesville. The band also marched at Arcadia Boiler Days and the UW-L homecoming at La Crosse. A Jazz Ensemble was organized again after a two-year absence, The Drama Club, with the cooperation of the music department, presented the musical Mr. Scrooge . The musical provided a new challenge for the band. Band, Chorus, and Glee Club presented their annual Christmas, Pops, and Spring concerts. As usual, the Solo-Ensemble Contest kept many students busy pre- paring their music. With Mr. Rowlands and Mr. Christ- iansen keeping a special watch out for errors, they planned on a successful contest. 123 Our Specialists General Education this year had all of its classes individ- ualized. In Mathematics, each student began at his own level and every student was taught how to keep a check- book and do basic banking. General Education added two new classes. Civics and Family Living. Family Living emphasized practical aspects of setting-up an apartment and financing it. Six students worked during the first semester in different stores in our community: Louie Literski at Gale I.G.A., Carol Anderson at Longwell's Drug Store, Amy Becker at Galesville Republican, Betty King at City Bakery, Mike Parker at Smith's Shell Station and Dave Fonstad at Koller's Store. The Individual work study programs an individual planning organized by Mrs. Peters made all of this possible. ABOVE: RUSS LUND LEFT: LYNN PETERS One of the school counselor's functions is to act as a sounding board for students ideas and complaints. The ideas and complaints may or may not be relative to the school. Hopefully these ideas can be evaluated and implemented if they are worthy and the complaints resolved in a manner that is acceptable to those con- cerned. Some of the specific details are: interviewing students, maintaining cumulative records, coordinating testing programs, providing an information service relating to colleges, financial aids, vocational and occupational data, working closely with teachers on student problems assisting the principle with student registration, assist- ing students with schedule changes, compiling honor role and class rank, assisting when possible in securing summer jobs for students, assisting students with col- lege or technical school applications and making re- commendations to these schools regarding individual students. 124 Library — Art ABOVE: DOROTHY TWESME ABOVE: FRANCIS GREEN ABOVE: DEBBIE MCDONAH Present emphasis on the individual nature of learning has accentuated the importance of the library as the heart of the school . A wide variety of both print and non-print materials are provided to help reach and teach the individual students seeking information of recreational reading. Books, filmstrips, casettes, re- cordings, paper-backs, periodicals, pamphlets, micro- film, and pictures are available to researchers and readers. Mrs. Carol Schaller, a senior at the University of Wis- consin-La Crosse, took her semester of library practice with Mrs. Twesme, GET librarian. Mrs. Debby McDonah, who is in her second year as half-time secretary, helps in preparation and circulation of all materials. Addit- ional help is provided by members of the library club. Jewelry was offered as a class this year for the first time in the history of Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School. Students suffered through the frustration of soldering, sawing and polishing. The final piece, bright and shining, was reward enough for most students. Art is more than an activity or class. It Is one of those things that can directly parrallel life. It is an activity that may one day be a vocation, a hobby, or it may be used as an outlet to escape the misalignments of a maladjusted world. When man can improve his environment and his exist- ance, then man is doing something valuable. 125 Faculty Directory Name ACCOLA, JAMES CECIL, VERDUN CHRISTIANSEN, ERIK CHRISTIANSON, ROBERT DUELLMAN, ROBERT FITZPATRICK, DON GAUSTCH, LARRY GREEN, FRANCIS HANSON, ED HANSON, GWEN HATTON,BETTY HENDRICKSON, DON JACOBSON, JULIA JESSESSKI, JACK LUND, DAVE LUND, RUSS MC DONAH, DEBBIE MC LEOD, MEREDITH NELSON,ELAINE NERBY,AUDREY PAMPUCH, DICK PETERS, LYNN PRUSSING, STEVE ROWLANDS, DON RUNNESTRAND, MARY E.
