But ... it was a time of life when leaves turn and fall to grow new and green again in the spring. We were too restless to stay behind — we were going on with jars of tears and smiles and ambitions . . . Rainy days might come but we were going to face them along with the sunny. And however bad or good-slow or fast- we all had to wait And we kept changing moods and plans. Like deciding in favor of being a pastor over a fireman . . . We fussed and fretted and lived the last times together as a class while just trying to exist. The clock paid no heed to our impatience however, it just ticked away with a steady patience, knowing we weren ' t quite so ready as we thought.

When I was still in Brazil I thought it would be easy once I got here. But it was pretty hard to adjust and I was pretty scared. But my parents brought up my brother and sister and me to be honest and sincere and to tell them what was on our minds. She grinned, At first I couldn ' t understand your ideas and I was embarrassed when someone said something I didn ' t understand, so I tried to act Ameri- can. That was wrong. I am myself. My family here helped me learn to accept American ideas and I hope you accept mine. I like to meet people— to talk and sing. There ' s a lot more informality in Brazil— a lot more just talking with each other. It ' s hard for me to just sit and watch T.V. and go shopping. I want to see how people live and think, to know them more than to just say, ' Hi . I want to know everyone. Suddenly the brown eyes lit up, I love the banana splits and the cheeseburger . .oh and Italian food. And Joe Cocker and Carole King, and Creedence and A Cappella. But I hate ketchup!

We have a majority of girls in this school but no women ' s dean! And so, since women ' s rights was a big question of the age, the position of Dean of Women was begun and Miss Karon Reinboth was the first to fill the position. This may not have been exactly how it happened, but it turned out to be a very good idea — not necessarily because we need a dean exclusively for women. Rather, it is because one dean who has to teach several classes doesn ' t have the time to do all his deanly duties. Having two deans makes it possible for problems to be worked out as they come up, instead of as-soon-as-there-will-be-time. There is less rushing around and putting things off and less shattered patience. The dean of men and dean of women can confer with each other on special problems. With a new person comes a new viewpoint on the old problems. An overworked faculty is one of Lutheran High ' s chronic weak- nesses. Teachers either carry an overload of classes or get burdened with extra-cur- ricular activities. Students don ' t always have time to study because of athletic events, clubs, and concerts they are involved in. Our new dean proposed a revamping of class formats: Required subjects could be divided into classes with minimal home- work and classes that are in-depth study courses. Interested students wouldn ' t be held back by people who take the course because it ' s required. Both students and teachers would be able to have a class or two that doesn ' t take quite so much plan- ning. The thing Miss Reinboth likes most about her new job is meeting students outside of class and getting to know them as Christian friends. Her brightly decorated office is the perfect place for informal talks. If someone else moves into her office next year let ' s hope they at least like orange and yellow. 10 9 8 y S 2 3 4 7 ' llll 6 5 % vs. £V G A An occasional cutback is the sacrifice of being a small, private school in this economic age. To ac- comodate a smaller teaching staff this year, we went from an eight period day to seven. It cut out the spitwads, note writing, and talking teams in the study (play) halls. Science wasn ' t two periods anymore (shorter lectures) and you had e- nough time to wash your hands in art. Sixteen out of thirty faculty preferred the new day. five had no opinion, four wanted to go back to eight, and the others — well This caused a large mass of senior teaching assistants who didn ' t want another class and as with any change, people began voicing opinions. I like it — it ' s one less class. It ' s an uneven num- ber. Last ten minutes drag. Cuts down on the possibilities of kids taking electives. My stomach always growls during fourth. Well, it got rid of Study halls. Oh. do we have less periods? I teach fifty- eight minutes longer a day. There should only be six. The boring forty minute classes are now boring fifty minute classes. I have to stretch my lectures. My class has more time to work. If it was eight, I could take another art class. Less kids can take art, but they have time to wash their hands. We should have two nutritions — it ' s too long until lunch. What hurts in forfy minutes kills ya in fifty. I like it — I really like it. I get to go home after lunch. I didn ' t havetimeto finish my frog. retreads for lhs r The Big 5 are all starring in new roles this sea- son. In this age of ecological fanaticism we have a recycled administration. After all, Pastor Meyer, what does a pastor and family man who teaches high school religion need? Why to be Superintendent of course! And did our history teacher (Mr. Craven) always as- pire to be Dean of Men? Mr. Bernard Dehhn al- ways did enjoy numbers but registering 600 stu- dents m 6,000 classes doesn ' t constitute a blast. The pnncipalship was bestowed upon (ex-dean) Mr. Rietz. Only Counselor Junghans seems to have been this way before.

They might have played musical offices but it is more likely that the order of succession was carefully calculated upon the stone tablets of faculty and board decisions. Between family, coaching, meetings, sponsor- ing and all the hundred other odd jobs, how can one be expected to take on an administrative position (and a new one at that)? Well, glance at those LHS dedicated faces! After serious deliberation and job hopping the faces of the remodeled administration said, We can do it! And you know what? They did! V. 1.

Detour to a Cutback) Ronald Clawson Advanced Bible Study Shifting administrative responsibility resulted in some teachers being unable to teach the classes assigned to them. In mid-summer some of these classes still needed an instructor. This problem was coped with in a way unique in the history of Lutheran High. Someone scrounged around the neighborhood churches and found pastors who ' d come and teach only one period every day. Not all of them had ever taught high school students be- fore and those who hadn ' t ran their classrooms in a very original way. Differing from the common procedures felt kind of uncomfortable for students during the first few weeks. Adapting to the changes helped students to look at things from a whole new viewpoint. This expansion of in- sight and awareness seldom occurs in the usual classroom situation. A man who teaches one class puts his best effort into it because it ' s the only one he has. He won ' t settle so easily for a dead-beat class as the instructor handling six courses. It ' s important to the one-period teacher that his students be caught up in the enthusiasm he feels. Having someone teach only one class makes that class a sampling of what Lutheran High is like. Realizing this en- courages students to work harder in that class. There are many advantages to having one-period teachers, and per- haps this phenomenon bears repeating in future years. Dennis Schaffert Modern Church Basil Budhu World Geography Herbert Hohenstein Advanced Bible Study Who is B.R.? Betsy is coming. Mys- terious signs popped up about campus, Get Ready for Betsy, and then came the pitch. If we can sell X number of boxes of candy, we will not only receive a video ape machine but X dollars for campus affairs. Despite candy sale maniacs and those understanding mothers, Betsy did not make the debut expected. We did, how- ever, get the equipment so even if we don ' t have a gym or auditorium, we can always be pretty classy with instant re- play for classes, sports, and drama. Although we no longer see anyone straining under boxes of intended prof- it, you occasionally see someone whip another B.R. out of his locker and munch happily on the leftover goods — choco- late always was a pretty good cure for the blues. or emmai Sunglassed against the glare off the asphalt. Mr. Tirmenstein strums an opening chord, inviting us to sing out. A special chapel presented by the Salt Company featured searching lyrics embraced by stinging, pulsating accompaniment.

Rachel and Laurie Hohenstein speak into the mike of the PA- system. Stunning their morning audience, Paul Leslie, Vicki Vogelsang and Jan Garner enact a skit titled This is Your Death. Ecstatic delight and more somber appreciation in- spire spontaneous beaming and clapping. Sucking up the days enlightened message, some are intrigued while others become bored and shut it out of their minds. 4 Making chapel more than a recurring migraine, a slump in the morning smog, or a quiet time for intimate chit-chat— this challenge faced someone every single day of our school year. Whether they spoke over the intercom or out in the quad, our chapel speakers committed themselves and made the most of this opportunity. Carefully planned speeches bolstered our faiths, personal testimonials gave evidence of the strength of God ' s love, and lively skits caused us to stop and think about the way we had been living our lives. Their exhilarating messages aroused us. Their spiritual enthusi- asm inspired and excited us. We responded in songs, offer- ings, and, occasionally, a heartfelt round of applause — happily participating in the worship of our Lord. We had been touched by the wonder of the Spirit ' s presence. , For Kevin Smith the title ' President ' has its drawbacks, I ' d like to be able to do my job without worrying about titles — but that seems to be the only way to get anything done. The main goal I want to reach is to leave something behind for the future councils — to lay some groundwork for them and set some guidelines. Another thing I ' d like to see is more respect for people with positions and just people in general. Kevin worked closely with Dean Craven ( he can be stubborn, but he ' s fair ) and he even met with the formidable Board once or twice. Most of the time the council was allowed to try out their ideas with Mr. Craven ' s approval. Says Kevin, I can sympathize with the kids who don ' t do anything — they ' re getting tired of the same old stuff. I ' d like to do something different, but it ' s not the council ' s fault. The council is a part of the student body — it ' s every- one ' s council — not just the people who go sit at the meetings. If anyone has a problem or gripe they should come to me and I ' ll do anything I can to help. This is a good council, but a lot of things would have been better if we had more response. ' Student Councillors listen intently as Kevii leads a meeting notice the interested ex pressions? the Throats are self - consciously cleared and chairs shuffled as the stern eyes of Kevin Smith silently order quiet in the library. It ' s Stu- dent Council Time!

Questionnaires bearing disturbing questions (which purposely caused the answer-writer to think) were given to all students and then brought before the offi- cers. The concern and interest of the officers and the reps managed to touch a few consciences and results did, finally result. In an effort to give the reps more responsibility, the mimeographed homeroom reports were abolished ... it became necessary for the homeroom reps themselves to listen and report back to their homerooms.

Publicity and promotion were handled with willing and hard- working hands — but it was up to the kids themselves to take it from there, and in many cases this is where we failed. Anothe worry was the outside chapels which were quickly be- coming a circus of many-ringed side shows. The problem was rec- ognized and something was done. X? It could have been a lot better but the thing is, the council can ' t do i by itself — can ' t do it by myself — everybody has to heip, Vice President Gary France sums up the year. When words of wisdom or ideas are need- ed Gary is ready and willing. He takes over the council meetings when Kevin can ' t. People think words are louder than ac- tions — but nobody does anything. A lot more could have been accomplished if stu- dents cooperated. My special thing was this campus clean-up campaign — it was a good idea — but after a couple days people got tired of it. Maybe it was asking too much Student Body Commissioners clockwise; Bharat Patel, Safety — When there ' s glass in the driveway or someone ' s safety alarm proves not to be safe, or car space number 10 is filled by car number 25, it ' s time for Bharat to take matters into his own hands.

Donna Davis, Roberta Hanson, Lynn vie, Rita Pharris, Activities — The dances, semi-formals, and buses to games are mastered by this dedicated quartet. They scrounge up the refresh- ments, transportation, bands, gyms for dances, and encourage all sorts of baked goods to appear for sale to cover money losses.

And quiet reigned for a while. No results would have come about — no improvements made — no warmth of comradship would have been in evidence if there had been no concern no inter- est. And where there is room for more to be done, for better — for bigger things — there is a need all night for someone ' s care. Someone ' s concern — maybe even someone ' s sleepless nights trying to work out a better way. There is a need for union and concern — almost a demand that we give all we can . .

It was such a tragedy to see all that money ride calmly off our campus in the owner ' s pocket. A plan was concocted by Mr. Reitz to start up a little stand on campus that would sell all the goodies the lunch truck peddled. It could be run by LHS people instead of outsiders. Mrs. Alfred Parker leaped to our aid. She bought drinks, potatoe chips, sandwiches, and other yummy things to sell on the day of the Snack Shack ' s grand opening. But could this deal work? Could we get enough money to pay for the food? Would the profit be big enough to bother with? Would kids even buy food from the stand instead of the old catering truck? The first time the Snack Shack was open for lunch, bodies piled up against the window in im- patient disarray. By the time the bell rang to go to fifth hour class the shelves were bare. This phenomenon repeated itself day after successful day. If you think scrambling up to buy your food is frustrating you should have to sell it. The minute the bell rings kids thunder towards your window from all directions. Fifty thousand kids want fifty thousand different things and they ' re all fiercely jingling their money at you to make you hurry up. Finally lunch time ' s over. Whew! But just look at that big pile of money in the tray! Shout Bingo ! We ' ve won! GAMBLE 1.

The Through the nine dragging months ot confinement several attempts were made at spicing up the year with dances. At- tendance was spotty and mainly the black kids made the dance anything close to a success. But the outlet was there for those who wanted it . . . from the Sophomore sock hop to the swanky Deep down inside us in that place where we can ' t fool even ourselves, is a need to give of ourselves to some- one who needs our love. To give un- selfishly until it hurts. One way is to become the tutor of a Hyde Park Ele- mentary School child. This involves iving up your own time and putting someone else ' s needs above your own. This job is a serious one. There is no place for apathy. A child de- pends on you— how can you think of letting him down? A child who can ' t read even the simplest first-grade: reader— can ' t add two and two when a person commits himself to tutoring a child he is opening a door to the child and himself. The pro- gram was another success under the direction of Rev. Meyer. Meetings at the beginning of the year gave the: tutors an idea of what was needed : and how to begin. There will always • be room for more tutors — if you have thought about being a tutor before but didn ' t have time, think again.

Last year when the schedules were being made, stu- dents who were left with a free period, often found them- selves bearing the dubious title of Teaching Assistant (usually endowed regardless of experience). The chores of these chosen few varied from feeding squishy meal- worms their frosty flakes to squeezing glue into bottles until you turned blue in the face. Biology and chemistry TAs actually did find things to do; test tubes to wash, turtles and fishies to feed, bottles and jars to dust, papers to grade, advice to give and then there were the frustrated artists of room 119. Theirs was an easy life— from time to time they were called upon to wash a stack of paint trays or tack up the efforts of art I in the library. But the time wasn ' t wasted— their own art projects got finished on time for once, new jokes were learned, homework was finished and there was always someone to talk to about your latest problem. When all else failed you could always scout around play- ing Dodge the Dean or the Snack Shack Sneak.

To make his life a more creative experience, he would like to have more time to con- centrate and appreciate the experiences he has.

Even though invisible to students, I was right in there. Sitting in the quad between classes, i ' d watch shepherds, bums, queens, kings, gangsters, flappers, bearded wisemen and angels in oxfords rush by. Then at lunch, I would pad out to the football field and watch the activities. Laughing when the Varsity football players were auctioned off as slaves, I watched many players carrying books r either the girl or freshman who had bought him. One day the girls couldn ' t talk to the boys for fear of losing boys their tags. On Depression Day, I observed the classes battle for the title of tug-o-war champion, and what a battle it was! The class flags were magnificent. One day everyone dressed up like they did in the early years at Luthera High. That brought back alot of memories To avoid being trampled in the balloon bust or yolked by an ai : 1. Splashing through a six foot puddle, juniors hurriedly sloshed to overtake the seniors. 2. Folding out paper petals, freshman girls work intently on flowers for their class car. 3. Bible Day inspired shepherds, prophets and Marys to concoct two thousand year old cost- umes. 4. When the tension became too much it was common to clasp hands to head and shut your eyes. 5. Yeech! A mud bath was the inevi- table result of the tug-o-war no matter how hard each team struggled. 6. Maneuvering as gracefully as possible with feet tied and egg in hand, Kathy Schlaht bounces ahead in the egg-relay. 7. Flashing smile s of anticipated victory, sophomore girls strained as they pulled seniors twice their size through the mud 8.Pyramid building im- proves with age— although juniors appear victorious, the seniors were triumphant. 9.

Bob Anderson goes on the auction block as Auctioneer Mike Jordan sells Varsity football players to the highest bidders. borne egg in the egg-relay, I took refuge on the goal post and rooted for each class in turn. The pyramids were unbelievable! How can that many people scramble atop so many other people in so short a time? The go-cart grand prix was fun to watch, as around and around the locker rooms they went, switching driver with pusher at each lap. By the end of the week, the Seniors were ahead with more points than anyone else. All that remained to decide the score were the flower-decorated cars. All week I waited impatiently for Friday night — the coronation. When the time finally came, I was as excited as anyone else. It was disappointing at first, though, that the coronation was held inside Rogers Community Cen- ter, instead of at Lutheran High. Later it proved to be a perfect place to crown Lutheran High ' s queen. It was a starry-eyed night filled with anticipation.

Afterwards I had a great time at the reception, laughing and taking it all in. What a wond- derful night! — especially for the Queen. Homecoming Day started with a hot pancake breakfast and orange juice. Class cars were on dis- play and before the pep rally there was plenty of time to look them over. The quad was dotted with balloons and happy faces, when the rally started. The cheerleaders had lots of entertainment planned, including pillowcase replicas of the football players. Results of Homecoming were an- nounced: It had been decided that the Juniors had the best car. yet in spite of that, the Seniors won. Four years in a row! Yelling and screaming and jumping up and down, seniors were ecstatic. The noise was even worse than the night before, as the Seniors charged onto the stage and chanted, We ' re number one! There was so much excitement and laughter! When things quieted down the Seniors sang the Alma Mater and people in the quad stood and joined in After the pep rally, every one left for their cars. Crowds of alumni and students followed the caravan of flowered cars to the homecoming game. While the cheerleaders and a mangy, broken-tailed imitation of myself cheered the team on, the queen and her court sat happily on the sidelines. We were inevitably the victors and I was overjoyed at our victory. Allow me to introduce myself as the Lutheran Lion — the Spirit of ' 72.

The much-trodden upon LHS seal was painted curiously enough, right smack in the middle of the mam flow of traffic in the quad at the beginning of the year. The position a person took on this issue branded him as either a prudish sentimen- talist or a rowdy with questionable morals lacking any respect for school or spirit. Either way, there were those who took it upon themselves to judge and there were also those who deliberately stomped across the battleground. Several people of importance were re- ported placing their dirty sneakers and wing-tips across the soiled letters. Some radicals were even seen sitting squarely in the middle of the seal glaring visciously at passersby. The cause of unrest was de- bated in classroom, quad and through the printed media. But it wasn ' t long before our wandering rebels grew tired of being hen-pecked and preached at and soon for the simple sake of peace on campus, the above-mentioned were seen picking their way carefully around the seal. People who accidentally did step on the emblem came up with the guiltiest faces some risked life and limb to avoid it, teetering on the brink with flailing arms and shakey legs. And to this day footprints on the seal are unheard of, much less planted purposely. TO ARMS AGAINST OUR DEADLY DEBTS I 1 Solemnly Pastor Meyer marks the graphs showing how many friends each class has made. Juniors won, sophomores were second, freshmen third and seniors last. 2 Making the most friends for LHS was Cynthia Rhodes (center), Chen Meyer (left) was second, and Nancy Ahlers (right) fifth. Rachel Hohenstem and Chester Clark were third and fourth After the first pop or September inconspicuously sizzled out, time had come to be disheartened with the dwindled number of classes per day. On top of this we didn ' t have enough teachers. Tuition hadn ' t been lowered. And there was always that incompleted building program to grumble about. Lamentable rumors hinted that the school was actually going broke and would simply close down. Our Christian Educational Dream Machine was doomed to a rusty paral- ysis. Those operating it were gripped by chilling uneasiness. And then along came — not a hero, but an economic re- vival program. Be a Friend was born! All we had to do was find five thousand friends of LHS who were friendly enough to send us a dollar a month. They ' d get a barrage of friendly newsletters, discounts at all our concerts, plus there ' d be rallies for all our friends to attend so they could keep in touch with us and with each other. And in ten months we ' d have fifty thousand dollars. ($50,000!) We, the students, got the first crack at making friends. Although spurred on by homeroom pizza parties, tuition bonuses, a free trip to Europe, and an all-expense paid day off, we only had two thousand friends by the end of a month. Failure at reaching the goal of five thousand friends made the program seem futile and even a waste of effort. Decay and disappointment seeped up around us. Quiet, hopeful voices babbled gently out of the stagnant lethergy like new grass sneaking unnoticed out of a withered field. After all. we had friends— three thousand strong at the end of the first semester! And all of them unyielding and solidly stand- ing behind us. That ' s enough to shake our little world.  6 3QMK ' ' « i!«f. The two mightiest battalions shielding LHS from obliteration are probably our ever-on-the-alert Boosters Club and Ladies Guild. Ranks of common papas leap into aprons and heat up their trusty griddles before the sun ' s rays first steal across the football field. Cunningly brandishing pancakes and sausages they succeed in im- planting laughter and hope in the hearts of all the disgruntled stu- dents and faculty. The gusto springing forth at the pancake break- fast is a hardy buttress for our spirit throughout the year. And never ever to be overlooked is the unit of loving ladies keeping us strong against monetary deficiency. Thrift Shop customers may seem to provide the spoils brought to us by the Guild. However they come only after the women sacrifice all the time and goods needed to transport, mend, clean, repair, store, price , and make saleable the worthless iteams we donate. Day and night they wash and iron clothes, cut rags, and scrub and tidy up the shop. Let us not under- rate the steadfast Guild and Boosters bearing us forever forward — on and on and on. Unintimidated by a bar- rage of thrusting, jab- bing paper plates Boost- ers turn their pancakes and sausages, cooking them slowly, pains- takingly, to aromatic perfection. Appreciatively Mrs. Elda Schutte surveys the load key clubbers have stack- ed by the boxfuls into the Thrift Shop truck after a successful drag- day at Lutheran High. 3 Footstools and carpets, old clothes and silver- ware — all are saleable items that materialized after a week of promo- tion posters and chor- uses of Bringing in the Bags. Precision pouring and skillful turning insures the best thickness and consistency in a pan- cake. Inexperienced dads soon catch on to the tricks of this culinary art. No one expected anything out of the ordinary in Trailblazer. Its readers were completely satisfied with a run of the mill paper about Lutheran High School. Students grabbed it up and devoured it regard- less of its sameness. Receiving almost no criticism the staff fell into a rut and put out a newspaper each month that looked very much like last month ' s — or even last year ' s. The year looked empty and boring for this year ' s staff. Even the problems encountered were the same year after year. They had to fill eight pages with material that would fit easily on half that space and they had to make financial ends meet without charging the readers anything. Why don ' t we do Trailblazer a little differently this year? someone spoke up. The staff members pon- dered the question. Why not? And so they changed things. September ' s issue was only four pages long and said that non-student readers would have to pay for their subscription. All across LHS Con- sumerland hands clapped foreheads in dismay. How dare they change Trailblazer from what it used to be? However the staff was exultant and rejoiced at not having to try to fill in blank spots in the paper. Sec- ond period Trailblazer became a journalism class. Quality had tri- umphed over quantity. Dissatisfaction died down as the months went by. The sports section had been shortened and features were minimal. Fine Arts seemed to have been banished from the publi- cation. But students looked forward eagerly to each new issue. After all, it was still about them, still filled with regular. 1. Jan Garner (Assistant Sports Editor). Jan Herrmann (Editor in Chief) 2. Mary Freitag (News Editor). 3. Bob Haugen. 4.

Buyers of Paw Prints wanted a book that was the biggest and best ever. They ' d settle for nothing less than the most spectacular, exciting, witty, artistic, profound yearbook in the history of LHS. Pressure overwhelmed the staff. Some- how the confidence of a few got things going. Suggesting ideas for a theme aroused enthusiasm and the yearbook ' s production began in earnest. Not everything went well. People disa- greed about the proposed course of action. Not everyone got their way. Some had to learn to give in and still be satis- fied. During first hour, when the staff met, people mostly goofed around and put things off. Suddenly it was the week before deadlines and there were still pictures that hadn ' t even been taken. That week was a week of missing classes and getting way, way behind in all your homework because there was so much that had to be done and so few hours in which to do it. All the writing and typing and marking pictures and rewriting cap- tions and correcting and counting lines and retyping— oh, for a good night ' s sleep! On top of it all, things got broken and had to be done without for a while. Lost pictures were a tragic misfortune. When everything was firir pile just waiting to be sent in, the con- ditions were perfect for the last crushing mishap of the day. Some forgotten con- tainer, left over from the last art class, gets knocked heavily onto its side — plonk. Murky water gushes into the layout enve- lopes, drenching the creative and medi- ocre alike. Somehow the deadline is passed and over— the next one ' s over a month away and easily forgotten. Time to have a party and speculate on what that book would actually be like when we got it at the end of the year. All we knew was it would be out of the ordinary, filled with premium.

If a person is alive, he has to cele- brate it. If he doesn ' t— he is dead. And I think that there are a lot of living dead in the world. I really feel sorry for them. Sorry that they can ' t feel the things I do when I look at God ' s creation . . and what I feel, is celebration . . . maybe that response is creativity. Mr. Gerald Brommer is recognized here as the warm, smiling and whistling man in! charge of Paw Prints. Freshmen and sopho- mores eagerly anticipate being in Print- j making, design class, and all his other ad- vanced art classes. Art History class is| spiced with slides and stories of his Euro-] pean escapades. He and Mr. Sylwester de- sign and construct concert stage sets. In his students Mr. Brommer tries to create an awareness of their surroundings. He feels that not enough creative thinking goes on at Lutheran High. Creativity isn ' t making paintings or writing poetry . . it ' s living lite in a way God wants it livea— fully sensitized to all of His creation. Assessing this school year, Mr. Brommer has good things to say. I think I see more smiling faces this year than last and that ' s a sign of satisfaction of a kind. More people say Hi, and that ' s a sign of togetherness. Happiness is a creative response, too . . like celebration. over the ocean flying through the wind swiftly jumping a breeze laughs I think one creates a creative atmosphere in his mind Mr. Roland Sylwester replies, when asked wh ere he gets most of his creative ideas. This is possible under many circumstances: alone, in a crowd, in the quiet, or surrounded by noise, sitting or involved in physical effort however if I consciously wish to create a particular ' thing ' I like the feeling of being alone. ] Mr. Sylwester ' s most prominent role at LHS is teaching beginning art classes. This year he ' s also teaching Christian Social Development which, ' he feels, helps students develop a standard of solving social problems ' that affect them. Never to be overlooked are all his puppets, who grad ' ually are achieving widespread fame. ! Total involvement in what you are doing is what Mr. Sylwester wants to (create in you if you take one of his classes. Too often students and others try to do several things at once with the result that very little is being accomplished. I think that fantastic, beautiful things can be accom- plished if people involve themselves totally in what they are doing at the moment. As a teacher, he feels he can help students appreciate creation by cre- mating an atmosphere in which students can work by aiding, when j needed, in pointing out various avenues of exploration by encourage- | ment when a student comes up with a creative approach and solution. ,1 _ _ , _™_— . tighten your prayers and scrape the cinnamon from the cobwebs in your head it ' s time to create and admit that green and blue are no longer you but orange and yellow and the reds and ambers of aged wines and leaves and sunsets and you ail topaz and golden in shining browns Debbie Gosswein wire sculpture imm ■■■■ .

Your mighty acts, Lord, make me glad; be- cause of what You have done, I sing for joy! In the hearts of many of us we did just that— on the night of Lutheran High ' s 19th Christ- mas Concert. With a great variety of music selections, Mr. James Schubarth, the new choir director, put together a very enjoyable concert. His goal for this Christmas Concert was to make it the best ever, so that it might truly be a joyous celebra- tion of our Savior ' s birth. This was definitely carried out as the evening revealed it ' s Good News in song. Beginning with Praise In soft blue hues, formed with ardent interesting selection ' The Sleigh Bells, ' and ' All Humble. ' they gave a delightful exhibition of their talents. 2 Sparkling gold handbells are the instru- ments of these eleven ringers. The pure sound of these bells, only in their second year of existence at L.H.S., added a dif- ferent kind of tune to the evening. 3 Bordered by the illuminated art work and accompanied by a harpist, the Advanced Girls sang a Ceremony of Carols . Despite the difficulty of the pieces, they performed with great ease and accuracy. With eyes concentrating only on directing hands, and minds concentrating on the text, A Cappella members sing out— ' Born Today! ' God the Lord, ye Sons of Men, ' ' A Cappeila set the mood ot praise, as in each following song a new ex- pression of Christ ' s birth was pro- claimed. With only the light of the glowing banners, and reflection of three golden stars barely revolving with the melodies, the Advanced Giris Chorus sang with the angelic harp sounds — putting the audience nearly in a trance. In Excelsis Gloria rang through- out the air as Melody Makers changed that mood into excitement. Old fa- miliar carols, including, We Three Kings and It Came Upon the Mid- night Clear were intoned with a refreshing sound by the handbell choir. Hidden by long armed robes, hands of A Cappeila members grabbed neighboring hands as excite- ment built in selections from the Messiah.

The Club That ' s Self- de- structable Nearly every day at noon the library houses Mr. Dehlin ' s troupe of magic makers. Here they scheme together over their wiley tricks and draw up programs to spring on unbelieving and un- suspecting boy scout troops, grade schools, par- ents, and friends. On the surface they appear to be a friendly, normal organization — holding meetings and supporting whatever fund raising drive is in sea- son. What proceeds from their shows are left, however, are taken to the local magic trick store for more devious equipment. This year Magic Club even went on a field trip to observe the secrets of one known as the Majahara. Their art encompasses such exalted exhibitions as mind reading, appearing and disappearing rabbits, guinea pigs and or doves, candle art, and ring fanning. In the Myfisto cabinet they can cause anyone or anything to appear or vanish.

I left home early to avoid race-track traffic on the way to Faith, Morning- side, but got caught in an unforeseen horde of teeny- boppers in a honking ooze towards the Forum. When I arrived, the firsl play was already in progress The Happy Journey b Thornton Wilder involved a family ' s drive to their rela- tive ' s house emphasizing the whinings ana Pickerings along the way. Rumor had it that the nex ' play, Bertolt Brecht ' s The Jewish Wife was the best of the three presentations. But the last encounter, The Leader by Eugene logusco, most captivated and de- lighted me. The Masquer ' s polished stagery was an unexpected bolt out of the blue for those of us who ' d come to the pro- duction not expecting a pre- sentation of acute dramatic value. All oi me Taste All of me Time All Lutheran High ' s most noticable putting off and last-minute confusion seems to cul- minate in a chaotic nimbus enveloping Mr. Richard Martin. His harried busyness reflects primarily his intense involvement with Mas- quers club and production of plays. While teaching a full load of Communications classes he ' s also been saddled with CSF advisorship and the responsibility of being English de- partment chairman. Reflect on that the next time you see him yawning and rubbing his eyes while he ' s lecturing. I feel exceptionally creative under pres- sure. he remarks and admits that he ' d never get a thing done if the pressure to do it was gone. Creativity just sort of happens with- out regard for the situation or circumstances. Besides the obvious creation occunng in the arty type classes, he perceives the forming of students ' characteristics and habits here at LHS. Individuals are being helped along to develop and lifestyles are being created. Optimistically Mr. Martin observes the ac- tivities of this school year. For the t..st time I ' m more satisfied with my classes. Things in general are better this year. People are thinking more positively and it doesn ' t seem so hopeless any more. ■ be 3 Riding high on their earlier success, Mas- quers plunged into a fantastic vision of Winnie-the-Pooh . They ' d use every gim- mick of ornamentation they could muster. Tryouts were held and ordinary students fitted themselves into their roles as the humorous creatures in A. A. Milne ' s story. Frustrating nights after school practicing kept the play moving along on schedule. Blowing up a rough little model into a 10 foot stage set was no easy feat. As always has to happen, the cut wood pieces were way too short to be nailed in place. Stretch- ing burlap over the frame and painting trees ate up more time than was available. With a lot of improvisation baggy jump- suits were tailored for each character. Surprise! The first one that was tried on fit really well — until the figure sat down and split out the back seam. Several Saturdays were taken up smear- ing make-up across the animal characters ' faces and scrawling lines and embellish- ments over the pasty mess. Somehow there had to be more precision. The week before the Three Encounters one of the stars had unceremoniously broken his foot capering about on senior square. All looked safe and sane in the be- ginning of the week before Winnie-the- Pooh ' s grand debut. Well, halfway into the last week Jerry Cole (the illustrious Pooh bear) was laid up in the hospital with a her- nia. The initial performance was simply postponed. Finally the masterpiece ap- peared — long overdue but well worth the wait and the worry. V I think yours could have been a little bit more snug, Miss Reinboth muses as she tugs at Jerry Cole ' s costume for Pooh . 2 Pulling up have to ta shirt before Pulling up an arm, Jerry discovers that he ' l take off the costume and take off hi: urt before he can see if it fits Go slowly, concentrate, don ' t move a muscle! Miss Reinboth adds the finishing touches to give Allen Reyburn a rabbit ' s face. At Saturday morning make-up workshops half- painted faces gaze into mirrors or scan the kleenei -littered table for a stick of color. It ' s better when your feet can come out at the bottom of the legs. Miss Reinboth decides to make the hem a little bigger. Pounding the set ' s frame together was Steve Hilpert ' s big headache all during the month before the production of Winnie-the Pooh. Combining refined acting with the ultimate in visual enhancements, Wmnie-the-Pooh ' s first public appearance gained It a spellbound following of charmed students and their parents. ft I They come toe-tapping, and brain- blasting in tails, black tie and sneakers, enlisting chanters and cheers with the syncopated rumble of the drums and feet. Blasting out from depths of shin- ing brass and billowing cheeks come strains of 25 or 6 to four, You ' ve Made Me So Very Happy, Sweet Georgia Brown, Make Me Smile, and Windy. They relieved the Drill Team of the scratchy, ancient records of last year and provided a new livliness to the per- formances. During quarter breaks en- tertainment sounded from the pep band ' s musical contraptions ranging from the Mickey Mouse theme song and Hogan ' s Heroes to the Batman Theme (complete, of course with Batman). The trumpets trumped, the tuba bel- lowed, and the baritone blustered, eyes closed in sweaty concentration, fingers ached tensely to remain alert. Their acclaim was limited, the applause not so often, but we thank the nimble fingers and swollen lips of Paul Leslie, Steve Hilpert, Mike Bruneer, Randy Moll, Mitch Maalis, Tim Whitehouse, Greg Koenker, Steve Tirmenstein. Rich Reaser. Phil Novak, Lyle Smith, and Mark Goetz. wee willy woodwinds Shrill squeaks and groans and the sounds of escaping air fill the room containing the kids of the elementary school band. The band ' s main purpose is to introduce music to kids from the fifth grade to the eighth grade, to teach them to read it, play it, and ideally, love it. For those who reach these goals with a show of increased interest and talent is a promotion to a special group for the most advanced. The bands join together for small concerts and performances. In upper right hand corner they add their effect to Lutheran High ' s own band at Homecoming. Even though the result may not be on par with the philharmonic band, they display a real eagerness for learning, which in itself is pretty refreshing. For three semesters Mr. Glen Anderson has been traipsin ' off to the far corners of southern Cali- fornia teaching elementary band at different grade schools. He is also one of those members of Lu- theran High branded as a one period teacher. His classes included first semester — Modern Church, and second semester — Communications II. Al- though he feels there is a tremendous eagerness to learn among grade-schoolers, he prefers to teach high school (even taking into consideration the variety in enthusiasm from day to day). Of his teaching he explains, I try to help them create lines of communication — lines which express the feelings one has about himself and the people a- round him. When I am given the rough material I need to set up a communicative experience di- rected toward those around me, I can feel most productive — like when I ' m directing choirs and dramatic productions. To make his life more creative he would like to be given more of an op- portunity to function within an area in which he feels most gifted. Having taught grade school band for seven years, including four years at Gethsemane Lutheran Church in St. Paul, Minnesota and the past three years here at LHS, Mr. Larry Lebrecht has found that he prefers teaching older students to his younger grade school students. I find that the high school kids are in rriost cases very eager to learn the difference is that high schoolers don ' t accept what I say as easily as younger children. He comes in one period a day to teach What Others Believe, and then he ' s off to his classes at various grade schools teaching young children to make squeaks and squawks into music. I try to create in my students a closer love of God and all the things He has created for our pleas- ure. I like to experiment in teaching methods and visual aids. To make his life more fulfilling he would like to be able to teach full time at LHS. He ' d like to teach more religion classes to expand be- yond just teaching band. School awoke from its hot summer slumber to the sound of breaking bread and the clinking of chalices brimming with warm wine. What a sound! Kids filled the aisles and waited for their taste of God ' s prom- ises. Revern ' Bill Schmeling and Reverend Ronald Claw- son gave the kids their fill while Mr. Steve Tirmen- stein led the worship with songand guitar. This kind of service was new to the drab walls of LHS — it may have even surprised a few parents who heard of it— but we were richer for having shared Christ ' s body and blood in our own school among our own friends. We all waited for another service . and we waited and waited. It never did happen. But the joy of a fresh start went with us and the days zipped by carrying the promise of His love. ... . 77ave 6? d PHENDER PHILOSOPHIES ffl ffl F ' frhnaal A lot of people are driving around these days with their life philosophy stuck to the rear end of their car. What makes people sticker their bumpers with insults, idiocies and profound one-liners? They ' ve got something to say, that ' s why. If you can ' t tell everyone your message, what better way than to drive around with your thoughts covering every available inch of bumper? Stickers serve as information sources (in case you missed the morning paper) and as entertainment on the freeways as you ride along at two miles an hour.

Football with its finest precision teamwork, accomplished with bruising blocks and crushing tackles, was present. Groans and grunts of pain and effort, man punishing man, dusty sweat drops, heaving gulps for air, blood, cuts, col- lisions, and concussions were all part of the more than 60 practices throughout the year. But the preparation began much earlier. Throughout the summer, coaches labored over plays, players lifted thousands of pounds of weight and ran three times a week hoping for a successful season. For juniors it was that first varsity season: for sen- iors it was their last chance. Two weeks before school started, the team got together for four hours a day to discuss plays, philosophy, practice technique, contact, play timing, contact, run, run, run. . . Finally the season began with a game against Perris. By looking at the outcome of this game, utcome 1. Co-captains Wayne Wilson and Donnie McDonald led the Lions throughout the season with their efforts. Here they led the squad onto the field against Paraclete. 2.

Rex Briggs joined offensive leaders Bruce Ritchey (62) and Donnie McDonald (32) in a sweep against Genevieve. Donnie also earned the Blue MVP award. 5. The Power I Offense was headed by co- most valuable offensive lineman, Lionel Brazelton at center and quarterback Bob Haugen. Just beyond that loss was victory a 24-0 victory for the Lions, fans thought the Lions would have a fantastic season, but time revealed a different story. It wasn ' t the season that was expected but it accomplished a lot besides winning. Not only was it a life experience, it was many things to many people The league season began with a new for Lutheran, the Pater Noster Eagles. In the previous year the Lions had stunned the Eagles, beating them 28-20 and possibly knocking them out of the C.I.F. playoffs. This year the Lions again led at half 6-0. But the Eagles held Lutheran in their talons the second half with a 12-0 blitz. Final; Lions 6, Eagles 12. This game seemed to symbolize the entire season for Lutheran High in 71. Many times victory seemed just out of reach. The first three Lion losses were by a combined total of 16 points (not quite a touchdown per game). Still, it was the second halves that killed the Lions. Five times Lutheran held the lead at halftime and four times the games ended in defeat. Despite 10 key injuries throughout the 1. Attentive to Coach Yount ' s instructions are Dan Edwards.

After God and his family, the most val- ued thing in Jim Young ' s life is very likely athletics. Coach Young graduated from Lutheran High only to return when he was called to head the sports program in football and baseball three years ago. He is especially proud of this year ' s team, since they are the first group of young men who have been wholly influenced by his basic program. He came back because the opportunity was here to become a head coach immediately; forcing him to learn and mature faster as a coach and as a person. So why a coach, you ask? To have your own team means to have the greatest pos- sible chance to influence a young man ' s life, he answers. Lutheran athletes, like many athletes in this day and age have, in my opinion, a very poor attitude toward winning and losing. They don ' t take their involvement seriously. To many coaches, including Coach Young, football is the greatest builder of men in the realm of sports. Teamwork and the constant threat of body contact help a player relate to other people and find what he ' s made of . Together these help develop him into a man. Many coaches might stop at doing their b est to help their players to be fundamentaffy pound m a particular sport. But Jim Ycrtlng feels his greatest challenge as a coachj is to bring Christ to a young man .... a tough season ended season and a 4-5 record the Lions did outscore their opponents in total points 120-99 (not including a 50-6 mistake suffered in pre- season to Lennox). The point advantage was partly due to the inspired running of Donnie McDonald, who was recognized as all-league mate- rial by coaches in the league. Chris Baker, (who helped open the holes as an offensive tackle) Bruce Ritchey, Wayne Wilson and Gary Phillips (who were the backbone of a powerful Blue defense) were all rewarded for outstanding efforts with all-league honorable mention. It was a tough season which even saw the first place team ' s record scarred with two defeats. The Lions, playing one close game after another, held the attention of their fans and rewarded them by trouncing arch-rival Valley Christian 26-12 at Homecoming, and knocking powerful Paraclete out of a possible playoff berth, white- washing them 16-0 to end the season. 1- This fine Homecoming crowd was awarded with a Lion victory over Valley 26-12. 2.

Imagine working with 40 guys, all trying to meet one goal — a winning season. Seemingly impossible! Imagine matching inexperienced players against experienced players and still gaining victories. Quite questionable! However, this is what the J.V. Lions faced, kicking off a new season. With half the team being freshmen (caused by lack of a third team) the Lions got off to a slow start. Having trouble putting their talents together, they suffered two rough setbacks in their pre- season games against Perris and Lennox. Striv- ing to forget these defeats, the Lions opened league play but didn ' t fare any better as they fell short of victory against Pater Noster. Next rough starts don ' t mean failure they fought Bell-Jeff, in a hard defensive battle, to a 0-0 tie. Things were improving, but the Lions once more stumbled against Harvard and St. Genevieve. Fighting back, the J.V. Lions came on strong in their next game, trouncing Paraclete 50-6. Having tasted victory, they continued by taking their final two games against Valley Christian and Chaminade, raising their league mark to 3-3-1. A change in performance was seen and when asked what brought about this difference. Coach Lowe claimed that it was the players ' self-realization of their own capabilities. With hard work and determination, they were able to over- come a rough beginning. 1. Intensity of Coaches Ed Williams and Lowell Goecker helps J.V. ' s battle opponents from the sideline. 2.

Individuals as well as groups race on, each with their own personal goals, each with their own personal reasons. 3. The crack of the starters gun, and bedlam breaks loose as Lutheran and Bell-Jeff runners move out, seeking an early lead. A new brand of running is beginning to emerge, a running that is both com- petitive as well as enjoyable. Man is see- ing himself as being physically unfit and is beginning to take to the roads and parks, jogging his way to a fitter mind and healthier body. At Lutheran High, the cross country team also seeks these two qualities, but on a more competitive basis. Run- ning over a course of roughly two miles, they seek control of their minds, push- ing themselves in a race against time, trying to reach the finish line before their opponents. They must do this through the development of great en- durance—being self-motivated. They are guided by Coach Robert Barnes in ways to improve, but they must do the improving themselves. They must disci- pline themselves. They set a pace, a style of running, pushing beyond desire, beyond exhaustion. It is the type of self-motivation does it all 1.

Varsity runner Ben Clay gasps for his share of the much needed element. sport where individual successes produce team vic- tories. There is little separation between runners on the Varsity and J.V. teams stemming from the fact that runners can move from one team to the other, at any time throughout the season, depending on improve- ments of individual times. If one runner is able to run faster than a guy who previously beat him, then spots are switched. Together the teams did well, both having winning seasons, and both finishing in third place. Running under the leadership of top sprinter, Bill Ward, the varsity runners closed league competition with a 4-3 record, while the J.V. ' s finished with a 5-2 mark, with top runners being Richard Reaser and Randal Nelson. As Coach Barnes noted, the team as a whole showed great morale and worked hard together, with the re- ward being the self-satisfaction of the participants. Since the actual running is an individual effort, each athlete finds satisfaction in knowing that his work may help him outlast others, and that his running, com- bined with that of other members, can make for an excellent team effort. i Q FRONT ROW: James O ' Conner, Darrel Wilson, Ventress Moseley, Roosevelt Mat- thews, Kenneth Hampton, Steve Miller, MIDDLE ROW: Kirk Briggs, Greg Payne, Wes Evans, Bob Barnes, Doug Aldus, Bill Ward.

Head ' em off at the Pass When someone tells a player to use his head in this sport, he means it literally. Soccer is a game of extreme body control where the mind has to work the feet, doing things that would come more naturally to the hands. Making like a bull and butting the ball with your head (not just to be hitting it, but with con- trolled accuracy) is also a necessary part of this body control. You must pretend your hands would pop the ball because touch- ing it would cause a team penalty and free kick to the opponent. Your legs must also be in top physical condition because of the large amount of running required by the sport. (It is said that the average player runs six miles per game). Participating in its second season, the Lions proved that ex- perience helps make a better team. Coming from last season when very few goals were scored by the team, they were able, this year, to take part in a fair share of the offense. Playing in a pre-season tournament, the Lions were able to come through with a 2-1 victory over Montebello, claiming a second-place consolation trophy. They went on to score many close games in league but ended up in the loss column in all of them but Harvard. In this game, the Lions took control with their offense but were unable to score, leaving it at 0-0. It is rough continuing a losing season but the soccer team did not falter in spirit or momentum. They went into each game, seeking a victory, and working hard at trying to achieve it. 1. Taking his share of bruises, forward Bob Dekkers works his way through two opposing Loyola players. 2. Caught in a scramble for the ball with Morningside players, Greg Payne attempts to pass it to teammate Bob Dekkers. 3.

God Isn ' t Out of Place in Spikes Ever since the beginning of Lutheran High Time, coaches have tried to instill a religious atmosphere into the athletic environment. Sometimes this Godly fer- tilizer was brought up at summer work- outs. Sometimes it came in the form of a prayer at an awards banquet. Most often it was spoon fed to athletes in prayers before a game. On a smaller scale, coach- es may occasionally talk between them- selves or with players about small things they may agree on within their faith. Pos- sibly two players who cared enough would rap about a detail in their life that both- ered them, hoping for some spiritual an- swer. Joining the national organization of Fellowship of Christian Athletes this year offered Lutheran High teammates and coaches a chance to be on the same leve sharing themselves with each other. They have two common goals now, Jesus Christ and winning. Ideally it was a fantastic opportunity. But this first year was a rough one. Suddenly thrown into an organization it knew nothing about, caused confusion and slow starts. Few coaches supported with their attendance and infrequent meetings didn ' t draw crowds of athletes. Yet, through discussions that did develop and common feelings that were expressed those that did come benefitted from it. Hopefully, after this first year of trial and error, the organization will develop and more sportsminded people will share the love of Jesus. Three years ago. Robert Dueker was asked to fill in as a basket- ball coach for the freshman rook- ie team. He organized this mess of knees and elbows into a unit which went undefeated in league. Beginners luck, they said. The next year found him in the intermediate division coaching the J.V. team, and when his team lost their first league game, people suspected the sopho- more jinx, — that is, until they rolled to 13 victories in a row. They haven ' t lost since. In three years his teams ' league records stand at 39-1, or 65-7 overall. Not bad for a part-time coach. Both as athletic headman and coach, he is striving to create a concept of togetherness on the teams and total abstinence of individuality for the sake of the team. We have placed too much emphasis on the individual. This may be what our society today dictates but I cannot accept this in athletics. Even off the field one must sacrifice certain concepts of individuality if he knows it hurts the team. I see many individuals relating to their own performance to the outcome of the game, do everything we can to extinguish this feeling, and he adds, My belief is that a disci- plined, regimented life makes for a better athlete. Athletics is his way of life and his vyay of stopping old age from grabbing him too soon.

Three regulars had returned and an abundance of talent came up from the J.V. ' s, causing the coaches to anticipate a winning season. C.I.F. play did not appear out of reach. There were rumors that this year ' s squad might surpass the far-reaching achievements of last year ' s championship team. Unfortunately, their expectations, along with the inward hope of the fans, were falsified once play had begun. After working hard in practice to acquire the shooting, passing, dribbling, and ball-handling; to develop the speed, co-ordination! and quick thinking that it takes to play good ball, the Lions opened the season, only to lose to Big Bear. They went on, playing in several pre-league tournaments, trying to perfect their skills — but some- thing was wrong. The Lions were just not functioning well as a team. The individual talent was there, but playing as a unit was not always easy for the Lions. l.Givingtheteamashort, much needed rest. Coach Ed Reitz reviews the game plan during a time-out. 2.

B 3 when faced with stiff competition. Having lost out in the Basset- Bishop Amat Tournament, the team entered the Filmore Tourney. They lost by one basket in the first game to Nordorf but were able to reverse the tables, the next I night, and beat Atascadero by two points. They then faced highly rated LA. Baptist and walked a- way with a victory and a conso- lation trophy. With a boost they thought would help, the Lions entered the Brea-Olinda Tourna- ment, only to lose both games. Pre-season play had been rough on the Lions and now league was to begin. They opened with a victory over Pater Noster — that was their last until they came to the mid- point of the season, beating Par- aclete. The second half of the sea- son was an exact duplicate, giving the Lionsa4-10 mark. It was a season in which there was no definite starting team as Coach Ed Reitz continuously mix- ed up the line-up, searching for key combinations. It was a sea- son of trying times when victories didn ' t occur often. They didn ' t have all the glor y of past years but they still had the spirit and the fans, who continued to travel great distances to cheer their Lions. It was their team, win or lose, and they were proud.

The Junior hoopsters would not be satisfied with holding their first league opponents below their forty point average, but instead beat them by nearly forty. Throughout the year many things V V, helped accomplish the average win span, an unbelievable seven- teen points. No one man had to carry the load, in an explosive, fast breaking offense. Ten hands mov- ing as one on defense caused then- opponents many turnovers that turned into easy points for our squad. Mostly it was all out hustle that enabled the Junior blue to practically run their adversaries off the court. There were no indi- vidual awards handed out because Dueker ' s team was just that — a team. Their reward was a cham- pionship. The Cub pack ' s rough begin- ning helped them iron out many mistakes, yet there were still a few left which caused them three losses in the first half of their league season. Teamwork was still belonging to the more inexper enced frosh. The awesome J.V. climbed atop the league standings this first game and stayed there.j The freshmen were only one off-pace, second place in tl division. Lutheran ' s scoring artillery shot! a am.

A potent offensive unit, headed by captain-elect Ron Coleman, broke away for easy lay-ins and also burned the nets from long range. Mimicking the J.V. squad, the frosh utilized a clinging, scraping de- fense, holding teams to a minimum total. Here again it was combined effort that produced re- sults with the team claim- ing awards over indi- viduals. It was a down to the wire league scramble which saw Craven ' s Kids come in a strong second. 1. One last convulsive jerk gives high altitude to clear the bar. 2.

Many of this years team have used past experi- ences to find out what their mind can make their flesh do, and have thus conquered the hardest part. 2 There are not many flashes of outstanding individual accomplishment, only a combined mass of consistent talent which should make for an outstanding season for Lutheran ' s speed freaks.

It causes one to take that extra step, to push harder, to dig up that last ounce of energy. Top physical and mental conditioning are necessary and may not always be pleasant. But if enjoy- ment can be found in this hard work, fan- tastic achievements can result. Claiming to have a lot of fun, the girls ' track team entered their second season practicing in the afternoons under the guid- ance of Coach Kenneth Allen. It seemed they had little to get excited about for they were virtually an unknown group, with many stu- dents not even realizing their existence. They were not hindered by this lack of support though, and they worked hard in preparation for a tough meet with Carpenteria and the Inglewood Relays. Front Row: Debbie McClelland. Lydia Hannibal.

Last year the kids came to Varsity and the talent was still there, but the young players ' mistakes kept them in a humble second place. Finally after two years, the kids became veterans and matured into a powerful unit that has pro- duced a perfect record in their first five league games. Ironically, it was around the time when their head coach, Jim Young, roamed the field in an L.H.S. uniform, that the last C.I.F. baseball championship came to Lutheran. It isn ' t far fetched to forsee his well coached Lions return- ing the honor to Lutheran this year, if the team can use what talent it has. Many teams have talent, though, in the tough Olympic league. It is how that talent is developed that makes the difference. Practice upon practice improved stale skills that had lain dormant 1. Lead-off batter and second baseman Vernon Hemingway con- nects in a 2-0 victory against St. Genevieve. 2. A major part in Lutheran ' s tight defense, reliable first baseman Don Howard gets ready for action behind teammate Bob Goodyear ' s delivery. 3.

In a tense predicament Coach Jim Young pensively falls into a rarely quiet moment of thought. 6. With no great homerun threat. Lions ' baseball strategy included a lot of heads-up running, which Bob Stubenberg often displayed. £ion Crown through winter and fall. Fly balls after ground balls after sliding after hitting practices continued; then games then league. The well practiced players learned in both bitter pre-seasons defeats and trouncing triumphs that victories weren ' t going to come easy. Their first Jeague game confirmed it. The Lions scratched out a 2-0 victory over de- fending league champs Pater Noster, squeezed by Bell Jeff 8-6, and out-fought St. Genevieve 2-0 and the pattern continues. At times when hitting slacked, pitching flourished and continued to be the backbone of the Lion strength. Junior Bob Goodyear headed the fine staff, hurling two no-hitters and a one-hitter within the first five games. This scrappy team broke record after rec- ord, as the Lions battled to secure Lutheran a chance of a Varsity championship in ' 71- 72. 1. Conferences like this kept both All-League candidates, pitcher Bob Goodyear and catcher Tim Warneke. on top of the situation. 2. Each game brought more work which book keepers and part time morale boosters Debbie Gosswein, Nancy Hoffman, Helen Eggers, Nancy Sarafolean, Roberta Hanson, Linda Miller, and Genie Rodgers masterfully took care of. 3. With one last lunge, Mike Muller slides into second base, to break up tne double play. 4. Intent on what ' s happening, the Lion bench watches the play on the field while managers Kevin Rooney and Daryl Beckstrand take charge of the dugout. 5. Handling the hardest position on the defense and heading the Lion offensive punch, captain Tim Warneke was an inspirational leader for Lutheran. 6. After the game a victorious Lion team heads toward the dugout. Battling to bend metal into shape and avoid being drowned in cement, a home was built for Lutheran ' s metallic hurler. After many construction errors and smashed fingers, rookie blacksmiths secured the last bit of fencing. The tin arm was rolled into place, the switches flipped and the first leather sphere was airborne. This pitch marked a new dimension in Lutheran High baseball. The long hours of hacking, pouring, stretching and hanging could now be used for correcting swings and gaining a batting eye (top left). It ' s value is ideally to add on points to the batting averages, but in their first three encounters with other teams the bats were silent until the Lions exploded for sixteen hits seventeen runs in a game against Villanova. Cage-work was only part of the preparation for a tough league schedule. Outfielders chased flyballs till they were exhausted. Infielders scooped up an eternity of ground balls while pitchers worked endlessly on control and endurance (below), hoping to work hard enough to earn a successful season.

It is there that confidence must be gained, fundamentals learned, and raw talent developed into future varsity material. Defense, always the hardest to teach, is one thing needed to secure a fight- ing chance in quest of victory. Offensive atti- tudes at the plate are something that must be instilled into players ' hearts, and they only come with encouragement, confidence, and practice. All this came to the test in an early season game with Carpenteria, which found the defense shy of perfection, giving up six runs. Offense seemed bashful too, until the late innings when leather started exploding off pine for basehits and runs, leaving J.V. ' s just short of a comback victory, with a 6-4 final. All this left quite an impression on head coach Randy Lowe, who then could see what had to be mastered for a successful ' season. 1. Contemplating his next move, Coach Randy Lowe paces in front of his team ' s bench looking for a winning combination. 2. Back to the sky, Craig Renstrom shows the form that won him a starting position. 3. Adding the finishing touches to the double play. Bob Horn releases a quick throw to first. 4.

First man Greg Bowles, above, uses perfected form as he fires his shot into the waiting court of his opponent. Different Strokes for Different Folks Serve that ball as if it were your only chance. You ' ve got to make-believe that your first serve is the only one you get and then, if you miss it, your opponent may be nice enough to give you a second chance. You can ' t serve thinking to yourself that it doesn ' t matter if I miss it because I get another. These and other bits of strategy could be heard given by Coach Bob Dueker at practice, in the early part of the season, as he began conditioning his players mentally as well as physically. Tennis is a one chance game. You have to play as if every shot is the match point because tennis is a game of not only skill but also of the mind. If you can geta mental edge, if you can psyche your opponent and keep control of yourself, concentrating on every stroke, every overhead, every serve, and have confidence in yourself, then you have half the battle won. Of course mental control isn ' t the only thing necessary in tennis. To attain the skill that must accompany mental control, it takes hours of practice. It has to be an everyday thing so that you can keep the finesse on your stroke and the slice on your serve. , ?7 Different Strokes Keeping up with both the mental and the skill aspects of the game, the varsity and junior var- sity teams worked hard everyday. The Varsity, under Coach Bob Dueker, practiced at Man- chester Playground and the Junior Varsity, under Coach Steve Tirmenstein, worked out at Centinela Park. Tennis is perfected only with playing time. There must be constant competition with someone else so you can slowly learn the tricks of the trade. With continued playing you begin to gain control of shots and anticipate your opponent ' s shots. You think faster what to do when, and become a better all-around player. 1. With eyes of experience.

Imagine the strong pounding of a fist sending a large, hard leather ball your way. Then lunging full length toward that sphere, you slide on the wooden floor burn- ing bare legs and possibly colliding with another team player having the same inten- tion. You ' re left with a painful sting on bare arms caused by leather hitting skin. Your reward is a floor burn, a bruise, and maybe a point. Now, get ready to do it all over again, because you are a volleyball player. The 1971 Lutheran High volleyball team was no exception. Burns and bruises symbol- ize their efforts. They played each game with every intention of winning and came away from each of their five losses with antici- pation for the next game. Their potential ability and spirit was equal to any team. But their tough competition and their 5 ' 3 height average (very small tor a volleyball team) was just a little bit too much to overcome. It wasn ' t unusual to hear a low Brazilian voice call out, Whose eez eet? Nor was it unusual for A team ' s most valuable player, Helen Eggers, or most improved player, Jane Bremer, to answer the challenge. It was Rachel Eggers and Marsha Shutte who deserved these honors for the B team; respectively. But it was the members combined who made this team unique and special, and even though team work and winning records weren ' t per- fected, strangers were made friends, and the challenge of the game was met by every girl. 1.

Differing from Varsity and Junior Varsity games only by rubberband-held-back-hair, vacant spectator noises filled by soprano bench yells and shoes squeaking with every pivot, the girl ' s basketball games exhibited the same precision plays, skillful fakes, and tricky maneuvers . . only adding the feminine touch. Taking over with confidence in the second year of boy ' s rules, the new five man team scrambled the courts to a nearly winning sea- son. Although the glamour of a winning season was not achieved, learning was the greatest accomplishment. There were only nine girls on the team, but they worked hard together during the two months under the coaching of Miss Chris Horn, and compiled a 3-4 league record. Competition in the third Annual El Camino Tournament saw the girls lose their first game of the season, but come back with two victories which placed them in the final round of con- solation play against Beverly Hills. Placing went to opponents, but learning and growth proved to be our girl ' s valuable trophies. And proud they were, to be represented in the tourna- ment ' s All-Star team by Kathy Schiaht. League play was more successful than antici- pated, although because of a lack of consist- ency in the late part of the season, scores were falling even though spirit was continuous. Far from opponent ' s blocks, Kathy Schlaht shoots an accurate jump shot. With a three foot leap, the bail is forced into motion by Julie Berke- land. 3 Grace and style accompanies Kathy Schlaht as she glides with a lay-up.

The defense ' s sweaty hands, brought on by more than oncoming summer, warmed up ten waiting mitts. Twice as many eyes concentrating on one pitch, one batter, one moving ball. One at a time exhibitions of batting skills ex- posed the talents of offense. While each individual with determination to stir up those four undusted bases, brought on enough anger and power to kill every unpredictably pitched ball. After hard work in perfecting skills, patience on the part of both Coach Chris Horn and the team in taking the strike outs as well as the scored runs, and blunders as well as achievements, they were ready for an exciting season. New ideas keep one from becoming stale, and keep life exciting. That ' s crea- tivity. Besides her regular faculty responsibili- ties. Miss Horn is very active in the girls i partment as advisor of Drill Team and Flag Squad, teacher of five P.E. classes, and coach of volleyball, basketball, and soft- ball. When she can, she escapes to the tennis courts, or a |ourney by bicycle. From the teams she coaches, she expects their effort to play as best they can at all times, never giving up. good sportsmanship in wins or losses, and sensitivity to the needs of other members. In the sports she coaches, the forming a united team is emphasized as she com- ments, There are times in a game when we are playing as a team, but we still don ' t have that unique quality consistently. I have emphasize this, but it seems the goal is harder to achieve than a high skill level and yet it is even more important. It is hard to ' create ' something like this in a team, unless you have the perfect ingredi- ents. One can emphasize and try to get the team to see this as important, but each team member must accept this concept commit themselves to work at this as as their skill. I would hope somethii sitive does happen to them as a tfeir experience as thai js $ program. Beginning an unorthodox ballet step down the lane, a flick of the wrist releases the ball. Roaring along a curving path the ball makes a sudden slice and thuds into the gutter. Dejected, you walk back up the aisle to await its return. Picking up the ball again you concentrate more this time before starting the approach. In one movement the ball is off and rolling. It hits with a crash, pins flying. One remains — totters — falls. You ' ve redeemed yourself and once again — king of the lanes. So on their spare nights the Bowling Club strikes out for the alleys boosting scores and egos with the flick of the wrist.

Outwitting faculty rivals calls for dreaming up new classes and dividing old ones at the semester. Exotic names can entice students to take classes that aren ' t required. This all began when someone decided that education by choice (of classes) would be more beneficial than education by custom. Soon, however, a computor had to be employed to straighten out the mess resulting from students choosing classes that were humanly unsynchronous. Meanwhile, someone was getting a kick out of retitling all Lutheran High ' s subjects. Maybe they were just being disguised to trip up that com- putor. Regardless of whether it ' s called Speech I , Pro- phets: Message for Mainstreet or (and it may come to this) U.S. Governmental Processes and Development of Constitutional Rights with Emphasis on Political Theory , your class will probably look like the one pictured here. Some students become intensely interested in the instructor ' s message. Others always look like they ' re trying to write down everything he says. They ' ve actu- ally just lapsed into writing letters or doodling pro- fusely. In every class talking to a friend becomes a major occupation of a majority of students. Sometimes the instructor ' s constant interference makes intelligible conversation impossible. In this case, fidgeting around and looking uninterested flourishes, except for a very few who ' ve given up and gone to sleep.

More Activated Sitting in a big circle, in its ideal state, means students zealously sharing ideas. Unfortunately, when students are placed in this situ- ation mass self-consciousness occurs, causing a complete clam- ming-up of the participants ' speech mechanisms. Another discussion-rousing gim- mick is dividing the class into little groups. Gab sessions then ensue, and the discussion topic is soon totally forgotten. In a few courses a student ' s mind and hands engross them- selves in the subject matter but his mouth is free to rattle away. This causes enriched learning, but (sadly) is completely unsuitable for most classes. w: - - bs 1.

Why, there ' s the most acti- vating, involving, and enliven- ing (and also, incidently, the most foolproof) device still to be tried!— The all-day field trip! Cramming kids into a bus and abandoning the ' campus fair and fields so bright ' fulfills many of their inner cravings for adventure. There are zoo animals to glare fiercely at, paintings to gape at, and ants to fight off if they eat lunch in the grass. It ' s a genuine taste of the real thing. 1. Who are those kids scanning St. Cecelia ' s Church for Romanesque characteristics? It ' s just an Art History class that ' ll have to turn in a written report on their field trip. 2. Everyone loves a parade! Every- one, that is, except the guys that have to stand out on the field and practice till their ears turn blue. 3.

Pastor Schmidt and the Four Gospels class seek inspiration outside the window. 6. The non-lab biology class takes a look at real live carni- vores and herbivores in the zoo. What was that name again? Adjusting to their new identities as upperclassmen brought the Cumdeostamos new problems and responsi- bilities to name a tew: the formation of a Homecoming Car committee which would conceive a brilliantly designed and executed car (which it did and was), bringing them a first place in car decoration and a second place in the final tally. Then there were the sales of the luscious powdered, jellied, and glazed pastries, the many gimmicks, dances, and campaigns to scrape together the much-needed money to finance the senior ' s last Junior-Senior Banquet, which according to traditior the juniors pulled off with their blood, sweat, and tears. There were the suddenly overwhelming heaps of homework, their own changing moods and ideas, decisions about the future to be made college, jobs. With the warmth and strength of friendships to see them through a maybe otherwise harrowing year, they came through with smiles and jokes and bright hopes for next year, and next time. The juniors wrote their own ideas into the following pages 1. Junior Class Officers, clockwise: Becky Reynolds, Vice-president: Kathy Schlaht, Vice-president: Vicky Vogelsang. President: Nancy Crim.

Their brute strength and gritting teeth and the encouraging yells of their classmates couldn ' t quite pull the Jun- iors through this one. Homecoming this year found the juniors with a variety of feelings; some were contentedly noncom- mittal, some were strongly opinionated and of course there were a few who just didn ' t care one way or another. I don ' t really care, to be truthful . sure I want to win Homecoming, but when it gets to the arguing that ' s when I begin to hate it. I think it ' s really bad when one class is sup- posedly better than another if you have a brother or sister in that class it ' s unbearable to ive at home. Decorating cars is good, but I don ' t think we should have to judge them. That ' s the only place ever get together with anyone from school our class should have somewhere else we can get to- gether ... like a ... a class retreat! Maybe we should just have a spirit week— but not competition . Homecoming doesn ' t always have to be competition — just a week of fun. I mean who has fun around here? Bob and Helen have fun, no one else does. I think what brings about spirit is the compe- tition we just don ' t have any spirit because we aren ' t winning . it ' s always ' be number one ' — but who remembers number two? When it gets to be hate between the classes that ' s when the fun and meaning goes out . . it ' s only one week out of the year ... These feelings and others put together, spelled a well-deserved second place victory over the Frosh and Sophomores for the class of ' 73. Known around campus as the guy with the beard who wears purple andvchartreuse on the same day, Pastor Bill Schmeling teaches gobs and gobs of religion classes. He good-na turedly refers to himself as Dickie Meyer ' s un- derstudy for Religion Department chairman. He feels all classes would be more effective iMhere were ' not so many kids in a class and not so many classes per teacher. He thinks he could contribute more to a student ' s per- spective of his own creativity by teaching less and learning more. Chateau Lonueville-Pauitlec Medoc-1964, i brings out Pastor Schmeliiiig ' s more creative moments. Asked if Christians should still cele- brate Creation,- he replied. I doubt, if we have any choice. It ' s in us; we ' re in it. Life hurries on! When asked to redefine create in me , he answered without hesitation, make it happen Lord!

Talking to the kids about the Clean-up Campaign, most were found to be rather doubtful as to it ' s success — most were upset at the idea of getting out of school early just because they did something they should have been doing anyway I don ' t think you should have to bribe people into cleaning up the campus But I think that ' s the only way you ' re gonna get them to do anything they ' re gonna do something more if they get something out of it. I ' m not going to work my buns off all week long just to get out of school early. It isn ' t worth it for me I don ' t have a babe to come home to I don ' t think people even realize they ' re doing it, I know I never thought much about it until it was brought to my attention. It ' s not going to work— the red flag is up all the time and that means we ' re not doing our job. Most people don ' t care, they ' d rather go to school the extra forty minutes than pick up paper. I think most people don ' t want to bother they don ' t think of what the school would look like if the janitors didn ' t come every night and clean up they expect someone else to pick it up for them. We were brought up like it didn ' t matter people are gonna have to wake up. Bribing people may be a bad way of doing it — but if it ' s gonna work, do you have a better idea?

Juniors 159 The most familiar face in the library is undoubtedly Mr. Ed Wittmer. He serves as library card inspector, book-sorter and finder, bouncer, and head of the Industrial Arts Department. When he is able to solve a problem which will benefit many people, he feels God most powerfully in him ' only He who creates, can create in me and through me. I alone am powerless to create unless God graciously gives me this blessing. He considers creativity in his life a major part of living. He says, It ' s the whole ball of wax in a Christian life and the only way mankind will see a need for God. In class, Mr. Wittmer witnesses the changed lives of individual students through their developing skills. I feel drafting builds an attitude toward creating and teaches the skills to achieve it. He feels Christians fail themselves when they are too lazy to use the gift of creation which God gave them. He would like to spend a sabbatical year drafting in industry. Most of the kids had already been seriously thinking about college and had definite ideas about the shapes they wanted their futures to take. The way the world is set up now you almost have to go to college to get a job that will let you lead a so-called normal life. You can ' t get ahead anymore without a college education es- pecially for something exciting and worthwhile in your life. You don ' t want to work in a gas station all your life. I think everyone should go to college— if you have a job you can get that kind of experience anytime, but if you go to college that ' s an experience you can never have again . live while you can. It seems like you have to go to college just to be average If you want to know in your own self that you ' re better than another person in knowledge you have to go to college. It ' s very important if you want a high position that ' s just what you have to do. Personally I ' d like to be a truck driver ... but I don ' t think they let women. That ' s the way it is or is it? ti M Chris Malone Martha Mueller Randy Ptlueger Sheila Pharns Becky Reynolds Joanne Scannell Cynthia Rhodes KathySchlaht If you noticed a tall, lean figure darting about campus this year holding his head at odd angles and flashing cameras in your eyes, you ' ve been watching our chemistry teacher, Mr. Don Schulteis. These pictures were used for films to give next year ' s freshmen an idea of Lutheran High life. Also included in his activities are. Record Club, Bowling Club, Key Club, EXPO ' 72, chaperoning for dances, the Instructional Media Committee, and Eighth grade Open House. In his off-hours, he becomes a closed circuit TV cameraman and technician. When he is presented with a problem that seems to be impossible to solve, Mr. Schulteis feels he can be most creative and imaginative. Creativity helps keep me fresh it prevents boredom. In teaching, he tries to nudge along the pro- cess of discovery which is vital in the study of science and life to develop creative think- ing which in turn will stimulate further creative thinking. I see more creativity this year in activitiesl that students initiate— especially when they are ' carried out. He feels there isn ' t enough time for Vj teachers to know and talk to students outside 1 of class. Of the Junior class this year he says, They ' rev great! I ' m proud of my class When the word ' spirit ' was mentioned, several of the kids gave disgusted looks . . . nevertheless they thought this way about their class . . . During Homecoming our class had no spirit unless we were win- ning, which wasn ' t a lot but when we were losing we would just as soon not kill ourselves. I think our class has no spirit. Nobody dressed up— nobody did anything. I ' m proud of my class for the most part. We may not be number one, but I think we ' re just as good. I think that we ' re maybe not the best at playing all those games, but I think we have people who are some of the smartest, and most talented. I think probably the only thing our class is lacking is spirit. But our class is so small what can we do? I think we do pretty good in sports and grades for our size. I don ' t think anyone can say we have no spirit ... we did pretty good in the ' Be a Friend ' thing . . and we came in second in Home- coming we have a lotta spirit, but as a whole we don ' t have much. It ' s got to be every one not just a few, or we just won ' t make it. Despite some negative answers the Juniors were found to be a loyal and hard-working bunch with just as much spirit as anyone else around. ©9 Linda Sylwester John Tennell Chris Wahla Tim Warneke £ ©fl As department chairman of Social Studies.

Sophomores 165 We really riled the seniors up This year the sophomores made a valiant effort to win the Homecoming competition. They practiced and drilled and planned their attack . and much to the embarrassment of the upperclassmen, they pulled a first place in the girl ' s tug-of-war and second place for their flag. Their spirit could not be dampened . . . and their voices yelled eagerly, Just wait ' til next year! I never knew I could hurt in so many places just from a dumb rope I think the sophomore girls beating the senior girls in the tug-of-war was a very big issue. We really riled the seniors up. . .

When the green flag waves in the wind at the back of the quad, stu- dents know the campus is clean and an early Friday dis- missal is Student Council ' s reward. It rarely happens though. We are very accustomed to the bright red color of the campus is not clean enough flag. What do sopho- mores think about campus clean-up ' Why do people litter ' I put my two cents worth in the trash can every day. I don ' t know why people litter. They litter because they ' re lazy. If we can get out of school early, fine, but I think that we won ' t ever be able to as a unit get everything cleaned up. I don ' t think it ' s a bribe. They asked us before just to clean up and that didn ' t work. Now they ' re using the get out of school business, as an incentive for us to clean upthe campus. I can ' t stand it when someone goes off and leaves theirtrash on a bench. If everyone would just pick up their own trash there wouldn ' t be a mess. I don ' t think it ' s working too well.

Now we scrunch, push, mangle and wait in a new line. It was quite hectic at first, and students were drafted to work as clerks to ease Mrs. Parker ' s load but they also shared in the profits. It ' s great! The food is better than the lunch truck. I like the variety— the hot chocolate is a good idea, but they should put miJk in it instead of water. . Yea, Mrs. Parker! I avoid it . . it looks so crowded — I always get carried away in a mass of people. I was just getting used to slipping under everyone to get to the lunch truck. I don ' t buy my lunch there anymore.

During Homecoming Week each class tries to beat out all the others in games, contests, races, car-decorating, and ticket selling. To get to the bottom of class spirit we asked sophomores why they thought their class was the best. Because we got third in Homecoming. We were born the best. We have different ideas than the other classes. I think we ' re really together this year — more so than last year. We ' re meditative — we think a lot about change. think the sophomore girls beating the senior girls in the tug of war was a very big issue! We really riled them up. We think we have more spirit. More class spirit, that is, than the Juniors and Freshmen. The Sophomores are the best class because I ' m a sophomore. We ' re best because we ' re not seniors. And we have more spirit than the juniors. Last year, when we came in as freshmen we were all unorganized. We never listened to the officers and we didn ' t care about the class. This year we ' re trying at least. We were champs in the tug-o-war against the senior girls. We don ' t give up easy. More sophomores are getting involved this yearthan last year. We ' re best because I ' m one of the class officers. The sophomores are gonna win next, that ' s why! Why do you ask, aren ' t we? We were born the best Sophomore cheerleaders bounce with spirit. 2.

Within a week, you ' ve separated a few friends from the indistinguishable mass of student body. Security results from the realization that you ' re not alone any more. Suddenly you ' re faced with Choosing Freshman Class Officers. You don ' t know all the kids that are running. You don ' t even know what officers are for. Anyway, you vote for some officers. On the following pages are highlights of other problems encountered by students in their first year of high school. We have gone to the freshmen themselves to find out why they are the way they are 1. Freshman Class Officers, clockwise: President Zach Parker; Treasurer Roland Crim; Vice-president Carolyn Allen; Secretary Bonnie Briggs; and Social Chairman Lisa Young. 2. Class Representatives to Student Council: Martha Bradfute and Judy Benham. 3. Class sponsors Miss Muriel Bopp and Mr. Edgar Firnhaber with Social Chairman, Cheri Meyer. [ reshman 1 75 • JB Ml Homecoming posed a lot of problems that needed to be solved on the spur of the moment. What looked good on the drawing board did not always do so wel the next day. Some Freshmen reactions to their first homecoming were: We pulled the Juniors right through the mud right away! We had more balloons left than the Seniors! Who is adding up the points? Whoever it is is really screwing it up. Everything was cool but the pyramid. Yeah. We get four people down and they ' re already saying that the Seniors won. Our car keeps falling apart! Too bad it had to rain when we didn ' t have a garage font. Be better if they had more reasonable dress-up days. Bible day! Nobody wanted to ride the public bus to school looking like that! I like homecoming because all the alumni come back. The Seniors have the most spirit, probably because they won all those years. The Freshmen, well, we never had any pep rallies or games before or anything like that. That ' s why we aren ' t winning. Our go-cart! We push it out and all the wheels start falling off! I ' m so sick of this car bit! 176 Freshmen Chester Clark Gayle Clark Vannessa Aaron Bruce Elliot Allen Carolyn Alle Ron Coleman Chnsti Collins Clifford Bidgood Homer Boyd Martha Brad] Daniel Cusator Jefflyn Dangerfield Donald Clements Jerald Cole Steven Cown Brenda Covington Roland Crim Mark Crump Lome Dangerfield Ingnd Danner Ricky Daveni We had more balloons leh than the seniors Trevor Budhu Welton Carey Alan Carroll Just knowing the trick won ' t win a three-legged race.

Renouncing green pasture s and still waters, this shepherd resorts to pop-top cans for refreshment. 4. Primitive war rituals? An Indian rain dance? Ants in their pants? Guess It ' s the Balloon Bust of course! Mr. Randy Lowe ' s friendly smile and relaxed manner have eased the tension in all his English classes. Besides being a Sophomore class sponsor, he is a JV football and basketball coach and the Trailblazer advisor. God ' s greatest gift to man, he feels, is the new creation Christ has accom- plished. He finds it easiest to be cre- ative when outside pressures aren ' t troubling him. Then he can concentrate only on what he has a strong interest in. One has to be aware of himself be- fore he can truly be aware of his neigh- bor— Mr. Lowe says. He tries to create in his students a feeling of awareness of their fellowman. A keen, concern ed awareness. Good student leadership has made Trailblazer a unique student newspaper. An advisor is solely to advise — and that ' s what I ' m doing! Of the staff he says, They are the first group of stu- dents that are totally preparing the paper without assistance. I ' m getting a little tired of blue Becoming a unified class required much of the Freshman ' s ingenuity. Class trademarks — such as the motto, colors, and flowers— had to be selected. This process was not as easy as it sounded. The following comments, made by freshmen them- selves, point out a few difficulties. Maybe this motto I don ' t like it. If we ' d waited until sophomore year we might have gotten some better suggestions. Venusfly trap! Whoever suggested the Venus fly trap for flower must be, uh . . . I can just see the girls walking down with a Venus fly trap at gradua- tion. I don ' t think we were ready to vote. We didn ' t have much spirit and we weren ' t together as a class. Just like the car. We weren ' t pre- pared and didn ' t know how much work it would be. The colors are too common. I ' m getting a little tired of blue. Yeah, why can ' t we have some- thing wierd; green and purple or something? Special initiation rites for new teachers at Lutheran High include giving them several clubs to try and organize. Mrs. Judy Ebey has taken charge of the cheerleaders, AFS club, and the Ski Club. During the rest of her time she teaches a variety of math classes. ' Create in me ' seems to imply that the creating is coming from someone or something outside the individual. However she feels that to create means to bring into being something which is not already there— love, or any other Christian attribute which you feel is lacking in your life. Devising new approaches to old material is a challenge to Mrs. Ebey. This attitude is reflected in the way she conducts her classes. She hopes her students will learn to think logically from problem to solution. This thought process applies to every phase of life — not just to math. I think that everyone here has the responsibility to respect every other person here as a part of God ' s creation. Teachers must respect the students and the students must also respect the teachers. In the freshman class she sees an eagerness to learn. fi v ' fc P V 4 V, StM e e m Robert Fairchild Kevin Farlee Debra Febley Timothy Finkas Dennis Fricke James Gilbert MarkCoetz David Gohdes EncHaener Milton Hammond Kenneth Hampton Peter Hilst 1.

With what remotely resembles military preci- sion, Mr. Firnhaber divides his class into buzz groups. John Lott Elliot Low David Luebbe Roosevelt Matthews Cherylyn Meyer DeLynna Miller Mr. Edgar Firnhaber feels a complete freedom in dealing with students and teachers this year. There is a lack of tension in the classroom and the faculty room that I have not experienced before. Teaching English and being Freshman Class sponsor makes him the special friend of the Freshmen. They are all individuals who structure themselves according to their own patterns of creativity. Recognizing their talent when it appears and channelling it into areas of creativity, he believes, will motivate students to do things for themselves. In natural surroundings, such as at a camp or retreat. Mr. Firnhaber feels most creative. The words creation js God ' s greatest gift to man are, to him, an understate- ment. Since God already has created everything, all we can do is to reinforce His pattern. Working with freshmen students enables him to say of the class. They are the most courteous, best motivated, most aggressive group that 1 have ever seen, with apologies to the many freshman classes I have taught before.

Instructors try to keep a steady pace or else slacken up while and catch up with a last- minute rush at the end of the quarter. Some Freshmen gave their opinions of classroom activity and the tactics teachers use: ike English. We can talk in it. He didn ' t give us a quiz yesterday because he forgot.

As with most freshmen, new experiences brought out all their enthusiasm. These are some of their ideas about spirit: It ' s my first real live football game. I ' ve watched them on T.V. I ' m the loud-mouth around foot- ball games. I get excited. Like I stand up in the crowd and start cheering and no- body ' s cheering! Nobody hardly yells at the J.V. and Freshman games. There isn ' t a Freshman football team any more. But they just stand there, espe- cially the adults. I yell, I go there and yell like a fool. Spirit is most unevident in the chapel services. Pep rallies are a good thing for spirit and to get out of class. I like to see the cheerleaders and flag people and all that other stuff.
