Administrators enjoy LHS students Where were you when it was time to decide whether the roads were icy enough for a snow day? This was just one of the decisions made by fourth year superintendent William Freitag. Freitag felt that the best part of his job was “the kids,” while the worst part was “trying to comply with all the regulations.” High school principal Marvin Maule, who completed his 31st year with the Leola School District, felt that the best part of his job was “seeing young people develop (positive- ly).” The most irritating part, he said, was watching “the students who have no difficulty in doing well but will put out nothing or very little. Business manager Mary Schaffer enjoys working on the computer during her hours, while school sec- retary Lila Rau likes “to keep in touch with the children of the community.” Rau adds that there’s nothing she really dislikes about her job except “maybe run- ning up and down the steps.” Another part of administration was the Student Council. The group was made up of one male and female representative from each class plus three senior offi- cers, all elected by their class- mates. 24 Administration

Exchange student Hartfrid Wolff is a member of the LHS basketball squad. German student enjoys American basketball Where were you when foreign ex- change student Hartfrid Wolff made his first appearance on the LHS basketball court? Boys’ basketball season was what Wolff said he looked forward to the most during his year at LHS. Wolff said that he liked to play basketball. At LHS Wolff was a member of both the junior varsity and varsity teams. Wolffs most memorable exper- ience as a junior was “the first two weeks where I tried to understand the school system and where I made all the friends.” School is very different for Wolff in Amer- ica. In Germany, there are no lock- ers to put his books in, and the teachers go to students; the stu- dents don’t go to different rooms. Wolffs favorite thing about being a junior was “all the easy classes and to be together with my other junior classmates.” In Germany Wolff must take all classes of- fered, whereas at LHS, he chose seven classes. Wolff is interested in music. He plays the piano and the cello. At LHS Wolff played the xylophone in the band and was also a mem- ber of the chorus. Wolff was also involved in Luther League. In No- vember Wolff traveled to the state Luther League convention with six other league members. Wolff has one brother and one sis- ter back home in Germany. His family lives in Grenzach-Wyhlen, West Germany, close to Basel, Switzerland. In Leola he stayed with the Myron Fauth family. New Students 23
