People with a “Touch of Class” More Than Just Education “I’m missing music sheets 3 and 4.” “What song did you say?” “I can’t believe we sur- vived another concert week.” You will hear these things and more if you walk by the music room where Marlys Bergjord is in charge of a group of singers of any age. Keeping music exciting and new, she even brought brass bells from her church to create the now fa- mous bell choir. Being a state FHA chaper- one is a job Lavonne Meyer is growing accustomed to. She taught students everything from child development and cooking to making “loops.” Chapter questions, work- books, study guides and tests can usually be associated with Kent Wolford When not in his room you can find him “pumping iron” or coaching any one of many teams in the art of shooting a basketball. Brad Preheim wears many hats at Hurley High. Besides teaching the business and computer classes, you can usually find him taking pic- tures, keeping books, or sup- porting the students in some activity. Although he takes his teaching very seriously, he is especially known for his “wild and crazy” moments. Bill Eichel only had one returning letterman on his basketball team this year. Hard work and a lot of basket- ball knowledge resulted in Mr. Eichel successfully building another good team.

Linda Peterson Queena Lamb Tim Spomer Jody Kaarup Ricky Heidelberger Jamie Boomgarden Jackie Georgeson Sheila Woodward Kristi Lange Decisions That Count Reporting the ideas of the students to the teachers is the main responsibility of the stu- dent council. Honored by be- ing voted president of the student body were Jamie Boomgarden and Linda Peter- son. The student council mem- bers have the responsibility of building the Homecoming scene in the gym and also David Wrotenbery Superintendent Elem. Principal judging the various window displays. Deciding when to have school on wintry days is the opinion of our superintendent David Wrote nbery. Whatever happens in the district lies with the superintendent and sometimes those responsibili- ties appear to be overwhelm- ing, but our superintendent successfully handles all the problems he encounters. Being principal of the Hur- ley School is not an entirely easy job. It is his responsibility to create a class schedule which will make everyone hap- py Debating the issues of teacher salaries or the pur- chasing of new uniforms are some jobs faced by the school board. Their decisions are the final say on school issues. These five men put in many long nights in order to improve our school.

Loretta Trenerry Karol Aeschlimann English Library English Challenging the Mind Yo hablo Espanol. That’s “I speak Span- ish”. Learning Spanish was a new experience for the chicos and chicas (boys and girls). Their maestra (teacher) was Loretta Trenerry. Sharing the English duties with Mrs. Trenerry is Karol Aeschlimann. Mrs. Aeschli- mann spends most of her time trying to culture her students with the likes of Shake- speare, Poe, and Hemmingway Karen Bossman keeps busy teaching the math subjects in Hurley High. From working math problems to making quilts, Miss Boss- man’s class is fun. She also keeps busy building the still new volleyball program. No one knows their craft better than Tom Christiansen. Many students benefit from his knowledge of auto mechanics, wood and metal working and other industrial arts. You can always count on a smile from Mr. Christian- sen to brighten your day. Ruth Williams spent four days a week building the band program. Although getting the high school students to take lessons was a chore for her, it paid off as she steadily improved the band. Who’s more puzzling than a rubic’s cube, faster than lightning and crazier than a bowl of mixed nuts? If you say Alan Ward, you were probably in his physics class. His extra time and effort spent working with students to make this hard subject more understandable was greatly appreciated. Also in the science department was Terry Winegar who taught us about the body parts and how they functioned as one. His diagrams and open discussions of his personal experi- ences made his class unique, to say the least. Are bean prices up or down? Why are there so many farm foreclosures? Carrying around these answers is the ag teacher, Gene Stapleton. While Mr Prehiem announces the homecoming parade. Mr. Wolford joins him in order to catch a few rays.” Karen Bossman Mathematics Coaching Ruth Williams Instrumental Music Alan Ward Physics Tom Christensen Industrial Arts Terry Winegar Natural Sciences Staff 19
