Coach Plueger said that the program is mainly for the girls to gain experience and to stimulate interest in the sport of volleyball. The program lasted for about four weeks; and they did play one other school, Lisbon. Stats were not kept at the games because it was for the girls to use their basic skills and interest them to participate at the high school level. ‘AY - Pee Front Row, L to R: L. Hoffman, L.

During the season, | felt we made progress with the funda- mentals of football. The 8th graders must work hard at their skills to be ready to play high school football. The 7th grade team lost both their games by one touchdown. There is some fine talent in this grade, and we are looking forward to better success next year; comments by Coach Wendel.

On Tuesday, May 22, they departed from Mechanicsville at approximately 2:45 a.m. That day was then spent doing whatever you felt like doing such as swimming, sun bathing, water ski- ing, boating, or just plain sleeping. That night the class ventured on to a Dance Cruise which turned out better than they anticipated. Wednesday morning most everyone went souvenir shopping and that night went to Lee Mace’s Ozark Opry.

On the road to being sectional champs the Panthers downed Clarence-Lowden 9-5, Wheatland 5-4, Cala- mus 3-2, and Wilton 1-0. They were defeated by Norway 8-4 in the districts. Our pitching staff was led by Russ Bequeaith with help from Mark Proctor, Bill Yock, and Kurt Oxley, all who finished .500 or better. Hitting honors went to Rick Weber at .379 and Russ Bequeaith at .357.

The final ratings by the IGHSAU had Lincoln rated nineteenth in the state. Teamwork and a close unity among the players were the main key to the successful season. This was extremely evident as 19 school records were either tied or broken by that of girls. They entered each contest with the attitude they were going to win and never quit until the final point was scored. Post season honors went to Tracy Dono- hoe as captain and greatest morale booster. Kelly Meyer received the most valuable player award and Dawn Worby was named as most improved player. The junior varsity played beyond my expec- tations as a coach as they compiled a respectable 10-10 match record and a 27- 28 game record. Post season honors went to Julie Moneypenny as captain, Sherri Spencer was greatest morale booster, Kim Paulson as most improved player, and Kristie Weber earned the most valuable player award.

N But the won-lost record of the 1978 Fighting Pan- thers does not reflect the accomplishments of the team. Only two of the games were lost by one-sided margins — both to teams who made it to the play- offs (Olin and Preston). Several school records were broken by the 1978 squad both by individuals and team. Rick Weber was named to the IDPA all-state t eam as a running back, while six players also received all-conference recognition. Weber, Kurt Oxley, and Andy Kohl were all first team all-confer- ence performers with Jim Horr, Tom Koch, and Bill Yock receiving honorable mention.

The hard work- ing and quick Panthers broke and set many records, both as a team and as individuals. The best aspect of their game was their press where they forced their opponents into an average of 25 turnovers a game. Teamwork was the name of the game as the Panthers set a school record of 216 assists for the season and outrebounded every opponent except one. For their efforts, Galen Brendes and Kevin Crist were elected to the All Conference team. Jeff Walshire led the team in assists and freethrow percentage, while Rick Web- er’s intense defense set the school record of 45 steals. — Coach Hansen Top Row, L to R: Mark Jurgensen, Jim Horr, Tom Koch, Clark Harberts, Kurt Oxley, Craig Kleppe, and Doug Taylor.

The 1978-79 cheerleading season was one of change, challenge, and many exciting moments. Twenty-two young girls actively participated in a variety of activities ranging from disco-dances, spaghetti suppers, cheerleading camps, many athletic awards banquets, to cheering at games. In this year of change many new girls tried out and were selected, new squads were formed, and new uniforms were seen. Being a cheer- leader actively involved many girls, ranging from 7th grade through Jun- iors, in planning pep assemblies, practicing three times a week, cheer- ing at games, and learning new mounts, cheers and gymnastics.

The marching band presented four football game half-time shows, marched in the Homecoming Parade, participated at the Hawkeye Band Day, and played for community Memorial Day Services. The High School Concert Band had a busy perform- ance schedule beginning with the Christmas Concert. Other concert appearances included the Pops Concert, Spring Progressive Concert, and State Large Group Con- test. Many band members were involved in Honor Band Festivals and participated in State Solo and Ensemble Contests. The Lincoln band members earned 15 ‘‘I, 23 “IL” and six “III’’ ratings at this contest.

The chorus was a very active group with many performances given throughout the year. The concert choir and swing choir were only a couple of the groups that performed at the pops con- cert and Christmas Concert. Early in the spring they performed at Mechanicsville with the elementary and junior high student cho- rus. Working hard in class every fourth hour earned us a II rating for the state large group contest which is a very good rating for a small school such as we are. Throughout the year the chorus and band worked together sell- ing candles and having a rummage and bake sale which was to have each student earn money for him(her)self to go to Chicago for the Marriot's Great American Festival of Music. At this festi- val, both the band and chorus earned a bronze medal. So as you can tell, the chorus was active and hopes to be so in the near future.

They used to be one solid week in March in which students and teachers got away from the reg- ular routine of school. This year things were differ- ent. The solid week was broken up between two months, February 14th and 15th, and March 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. This year some popular courses were skiing, bread making, and a hiking campout at Yellow River State Forest. Having the courses at two different times of the year was quite a change, but it gave some students the chance to snow ski in February and camp in March, weather permitting. Mini courses are a lot of fun for students and teachers alike, and hopefully Lincoln will continue to have them. Due to camera problems, we are sorry our pictures are limited.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY On, Thursday, May 3, at 10:00 AM, something very special hap- pened at Lincoln. This occasion only comes once a year so all those involved get all dressed up. Being initiated into the National Honor Society is a very high honor, not only in high school, but after graduation, too. Being selected into this organization means if you are a sophomore, you have had to main- tain a 3.0 grade average for three consecutive semesters: for a junior grade average for two consecutive semesters. If this average isn't maintained, you are dropped. Good grades aren't the only qual- ifications. You are judged on char- acter, scholarship, leadership, and service. As a probationary member you get a card signifying that you are a member. As a regular member, you get a card plus a pin. The four let- ters at the bottom of the pin are for the things you are judged upon. The graduate members receive a card and a seal on their diplomas indicating they were members. ——, NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Lots of school spirit!!! Something smells.
