Senior Prophecy Dear Mr. Marsh, The graduating class of 1977 would like you to have a copy of the first edition of the Deca Delirium, of the Seniors of 1977. When we graduated, we decided to keep in touch with everyone. We soon found this impossible, as we all had our own jobs, occupations, and families to keep us occupied. So we have all sent letters to our class reporter, to briefly explain what we are doing. Thus reads our Deca Delirium: Lloyd Blevins is now an FBI man. He was too busy working on a case to write, so the agency wrote us a letter instead. They told us they had trouble finding a man capable of filling the job of director since J. Edgar Hoover . . . until Lloyd came along. Now they say they have the perfect man. Jim's wife, Kim, wrote to tell us that she is the proud wife of a basketball coach. As we have read in the sports pages, Jim is now coaching the No. 1 basketball team in the nation. Kim also mentioned that he still op- posed nis high school coach's philosophy of dress code, his team members all have the longest hair in basketball history. Myron Beck is into sports too. Of course anyone who follows football knows that!! Myron has tried for the last nine years to be accepted by one of the professional football teams. He finally got the chance when he was picked by the Pittsburg Steelers to be their water boy!! From a letter from Steve Reynolds, we learn that he has the largest pig farm in the state, but he has his sights set on being Secretary of Agriculture for the next Nixon Administration. Ed Hammond reported that he is still driving his Nova from high school. It is going on its 13th engine, and it is said by people who have seen it, that is takes both lanes of the highway because of all the body putty on it. Sid Snow is also driving, he has just bought a new hot rod with the royalties from the book Mr. Marsh wrote about him. Sid is still trying to convince Mr. Marsh that it is safe to ride with him. Henry Fletcher has more than enough to do as the head mechanic for Sid's car. Henry's only complaint is the time of day Sid's car seem to always need fixing. Elaine Maciejewski wrote to tell us she recently returned from a buying spree abroad, where she purchased several dishes and collectors items. She plans to add these to her world famous collection. We read in the minutes of the last Litchfield's school board meeting that Michelle Boyles is the recent re- placement to Mr. Epley as the school's Superintendent. Things seem to be going smoothly, now. The minutes also stated that Michelle, as the new Superintendent, has just hired Robyn Unick as the Home Ec. teacher. She seems to have a promising future. Brad Slocum took time from business to let us know that he is now head of the Massey Fergusen Dealership (of Litchfield??) Carolyn Fisher also spared precious moments to write. She and her college professor, Dr. Horatio Heideggar are working on a research project that deals with finding a new food source for the world. Barb Rolfsmeyer, who always had a love for green, wrote us a letter on green stationery. She is now the Sec- retary of Treasury and enjoys autographing all those little GREEN bills. Cindy Reynolds sent a box of baked goods with her letter of report. Cindy now has a chain of delicatessens featuring super salads, and cakes and cookies that are delightful, delicious, and delovely. Peter Reitz wrote us from in his home. He says he is still spending his time trying to decide what to be so he can put it in the Senior Prophecy. From the Library of Congress came a letter from Bette Lovitt. She regrets the briefness of the letter, but says she has to hurry back to help the attractive young lawyer and find the book he wanted. With that we conclude our first Deca Delirium of the Seniors of 1977. We hope you enjoyed hearing from us, Mr. March. We will be sure to send you a copy of the second edition, since you always thought of us in a special way!! Sincerely yours, Litchfield Graduates, 1977 Hi-Ho Silver!!! I use the new roll-on!!! Eating up the profit?! Ah, what a turkey! What a day!!!!!!!! That s right Mike, follow in my footsteps! Heeeey!!!!! 10 Marty Albrecht LaVon Fieldgrove Craig Fread Dottie Fread Brent Howard Emma Howard Bemie Kieborz Scot Krotz Carl Kucera Danny Lewandowski Lisa Lewis Jerry Jucas Ike Mason Carol Norden Karen Riessland Joe Sekutera Brian Slocum Greg Siegel Brenda Unick Diane Wardyn John Willoughby Linda Woolery The Junior Class, sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. VanZandt, started their year out by electing officers as such; Marty Albrecht, President; Brenda Unick, Vice-President; Lisa Lewis, Secre- tary; John Willoughby, Treasurer, Linda Woolery, Prom Chairman.

The 1976-77 volleyball team made Litchfield history with a record of 9-5, the best in years. After attending a volleyball camp in July, they rallied on to a 5-0 record. Only to be halted temporarily by Ansley and Pleasanton. One of our key players, Karen Riessland, was forced to the bench by a fractured foot for two weeks. The girls entered the Loup Valley Conference Tournament with a confident 6-2 record, falling to Arcadia in the semi-finals. We were happy to take a third place trophy home. Only to fall again to Arcadia in the first round of the Red Raider Invitational, leaving us with an 8-4 re- cord. The Trojans fell a final time in the District semi-finals. They Played a tough three sets, losing 7-15, 15-8, 2-15, a final time to Arca- dia, District and Class D State participants. This final fall indeed was a well played season. Karen Riessland was named LVC East Division All Conference Player with Diane Wardyn and Robyn Unick earning Honorable Mention.

TROJANS END BASKETBALL CAMPAIGN 5-9 The Trojan basketball team began workouts in November with high hopes for continuing the rich basketball tra- dition that prevails at Litchfield High. The Trojans, however, never really got started after los- ing their first three games to class C powers, Anselmo- Merna, Pleasanton, and Ansley. Throughout the season the Trojans showed a lot of hustle, pride, and enthusiasm. The boys worked hard and never gave up. These qualities helped in the big wins over Loup City, Sandhills, Elba, Callaway, and Spalding. The Spalding game had to be the highlight of the season as Litchfield opened District play by playing 3 ceded Spalding High. The Trojans played a hard fought game and were victorious in overtime play, 66-60. The future looks bright for Litchfield as four starters and eight of the top 9 return for next season.

BACK ROW: Coach Smith, Bruce Guthard, Jim Lucas, Rodney Guthard, Eddy Schall, Bobby Slocum. Track The Junior High girl's track squad had a tough road to travel. There were only 4 members. They were: Kim Sekutera, Vesta LeFever, Jody Sweley, and Cathy Coleman. Nevertheless, they competed very tough. The Junior High boy's track had more numbers (9) but found the road just as tough. However, they gained valuable experience and development. The members were: Curt Fread, Bruce Guthard, Rod Guthard, Mark Lewis, Scott Lewis, Ed Schall, Bob Slocum, and Tom Unick.

Girl's Track at Litchfield finally reached the top of the mountain in 1977 with a co-championship in Class D . On the way to the trophy, school records were broken in 10 of 14 events. Trophies were also taken at Kearney State (first), Conference (second), and Broken Bow District D-7 (first). Leading the way to the State Championship was Diane Wardyn who placed first in the 80 yd. hurdles (2nd consecutive year), second in the 440 yd. dash, and fifth in the 220 yd. dash. The deciding event resulted from a victory by the mile relay of LaVon Fieldgrove, Jean Wardyn, Holly Wnderson, and Diane Wardyn. Others who qualified for State were Karen Riessland in the shot and Stacey Unick, Pam Alberts, Joan Rey- nolds, and Mary Adams. The future appears bright with no seniors on the squad. With further development of potential, the champ- ionship won't be shared in 1978! 38 Boys Tracks FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Randy Lucas, Steve Reynolds, Ed Lovitt, Ed Kucera, BACK ROW: Monte Woolery, Rick Hoover, David Bales, Mike Toby, Brent Howard, Terry Kratzer, Mr. Streit. The members of this year's track team were: Steve Reynolds, SR.; Brent Howard, Marty Albrecht, JRS.; Jeff Lucas, Eddy Kucera, and David Bales, SOPHS.; Terry Tratzer, Ed Lovitt, and Monte Wool- ery, FRS. With such a young squad, the emphasis this year was directed towards getting as much experience as possible and improving times and distances for the District Track Meet. In this regard, the young Tio- jams were very successful as everyone performed their career bests in the District Meet. Three new track records were set this year. Marty Albrecht lowered the record for the 2 mile in 10:15.3 and the Mile Run in 4:50.4. David Bales lowered the 440 yard dash to 56.3. Marty also qualified for the State Track Meet in the 2 Mile. 40 Swing Choir FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Jerry Lucas, Carl Kucera, Marty Albrecht, Myron Beck, Mike Toby, Eddy Kucera, Jdin Willoughby, Darrell Schall, David Bales, Jeff Lucas.
