Capers As the lights dimmed, an air of hushed expectancy fell over the packed auditorium. Suddenly the majestic strains of Pomp and Circumstance broke through the silence, proclaim- ing the beginning of LHS Homecoming, 1959. The beams of the coronation hall spot lights first caught court pages, Marilyn Swanson and Ricky Olson, bearing the royal robes and crowns. Following them in, in measured and stately steps were the princesses: Dixie Winge, from the freshman class, Vikki Golla, representing the soph- omores, Sharon Ladd, chosen from among the juniors, and Virginia Hora, visiting princess from the Philippines. Last down the aisle were the senior royalty candidates who were resplen- dent in their court finery. They were: Lois Iverson and David Smith, Kay Anderson and Dale Hansen, Vivien Atkinson and Dick Jordahl, and Shar- ron Jacobs and Don Phillips. A hushed audience strained for- ward as Roger Madison, Grand Marshal, ended the weeks of wonder- ing and waiting. Amid the cries and cheers of their subjects Dick Jordahl andSharron Jacobs were ceremonious- ly crowned King and Queen of Cardinal Capers of 1959.

Two weeks before the regular school session began, fifty boys ranging from sophomores to seniors reported for varsity football practice. With their hopes high they started to work try- ing to mold eleven men that could be put on the gridiron to represent Luverne High School. Luverne went into its first game, with a fifteen game winning streak at stake, against Brookings and lost. In the games that followed, the Cards showed a definite improvement. Then came time for the big homecoming game against Jack- son. Luverne High School was not about to take a defeat that night. They beat the Jackson ball club and ended a wonderful homecoming week- end. The Cards ended up the season with a crack at the conference title. We met Worthington on their own field, and what a field. The field it- self was under an inch of water so it made play- ing in it practically impossible. Luverne played a good game that night but couldn't stop the Tro- jans. Worthington went on to win the conference title. Luverne's last game was with its old arch- rival Pipestone. Due to a blizzard the game was played on a Saturday afternoon. The Cards got off to a slow start but beat Pipestone to give the Cards a record of 5 wins, 2 losses and 1 tie. A record any school can be proud of. KNEELING: Richard Herman, Peter Peterson. STANDING: Mr. Dahlberg, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Polzin, Mr. Larson, Mr. Erickson.
