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.

Baton Twirlers FIRST ROW: Linda Remme, Audrey Madison, Alice Henningsen. SECONO ROW: Nancy Wendt, Linda Bowman, Vikki Golla. Many events in Luverne High School would not be complete with- out the marching band. Under the able direction of Mr. Johnson, the band rehearses noon hours to be in top shape for a full schedule of marching appearances. This year the band participated in Worthing- ton's Turkey Day, Augustana College's Band Day, and Mankato State College's Homecoming. The highlight of the fall season comes when the Luverne Band hosts the Tri-State Band Festival. It also does a fine job entertaining the fans at all the home football and basketball games. Chosen from a large group of hopefuls in spring tryouts, the twirlers and flagswingers add the finishing touches to the band as well as perform excellently on their own. As has been the case in previous years, they again won many honors in the Tri-State Band Festival com- petition. The flagswingers tied for first in the group division, Sharron Jacobs placed second in the individual flag twirling, and Alice Henning- sen and Vikki Golla placed second in group baton twirling. Flag Swingers FIRST ROW: DyAnn Olson, Sandra Miller. SECONO ROW: Judy Connell, Sharron Jacobs, Carolyn Herreid, Twilla Hamann. Marching Band
