The Luverne teachers do endeavor to provide stimulating, challenging and enjoyable experiences for the youth of the community. We the students of LHS are grateful for their efforts.

By seven o'clock in the morning pans start clanging and the cooks scurry around the kitchen. Modern equipment and student helpers aid greatly in their task. Vera Hulbert, Alma Birkland, and Agnes Husen are credit- ed with preparation of the nutritious meals. Hurte Mrs. Sue Tollefson, a registered nurse, provides practical nursing services to the students. This will be the first full year of this service. Her main responsibility is to check ears, eyes, and to check the students back to school after illness. It is truly a forward-looking step to provide records and a health service for the students of the Luveme School System CuAtcdiahA Have you ever noticed howimoaiLatE our school is each morning when you enter LHS? The credit goes to our custodians. These men are always around—cheerful and willing to help with difficulties one may have.Every day these men go through their tasks of keeping our school clean so we, the students, can be proud of it. Although we neglect to show our appreciation to the custodians, we do appreciate them very much. Ted Mo? , Hugh Leslie, Pete Meyer, Morris Jensen, FIRST ROW: Jack Kent, Harold Bryjuhlson.

KuA fortterA It is a wonderful feel- ing when you know you can rely on good capable bus drivers. We can have that feeling, for certain- ly we do have capable bus drivers. These are the men who bring the rural students back and forth to school, and who take students to games, tournaments, contests and other special events. We are appreciative for the services they render. £tu jeht Cabinet The government of the student body, the Senior High Student Council, is an example of democracy at its best. The members of the council consist of the Cabinet,who are annually elected in the spring under the tension of a mock political campaign, two representatives from each homeroom, class president, and five members-at-large. Under the direction of Mrs. Finberg, the cabinet meets on alternate Mondays,developing and carrying out tasks for the betterment of our school.Yearly activities include sponsoring the football homecoming, contributing to the foreign exchange program, and taking charge of the annual magazine sales drive. The Student body of LHS is indeed grateful for the work and achievement of their student body. The grand finale to a week of earnest campaigning is the presentation of campaign speeches by the student cabinet candidates to the student body.

Helga re- ceived much of her orientation through the continuous guidance of Mrs. Flnberg. Adding color and pagentry to the Homecoming parade was the Student Council float that was awarded second prize by the judges. 13 Since last August Helga has made her home with the George Golla famlly. When It came to doing dishes and other household chores in her American home, Helga Is ready to lend a helping hand. Pictured with Helga are Vikki, Mrs. Golla, Gary and Jimmy. Out hani h ClaMmate Helga De hjerteligste hilsener tilalle fry Denmark Helga Lybye. No, we haven't changed languages. This just means, The best greetings to all of you from Denmark and Helga Lybye. Helga is the 5 ft. 7 in., green eyed, dark blond, foreign exchange student from North Jutland, Denmark. She has one brother and two sisters, all younger than she. Her father is a forest supervisor. Although Helga has many hobbies, her favorites include skiing, skat- ing, swimming, botany, and reading. As far as American foods go Helga likes hamburgers,french fries,jello, french toast, and sweet corn. How- ever, watermelon just didn't suit her fancy. Helga likes best of all the kind and friendly people in Lu- verne. She thinks that,too, of the entire United States. When Helga returns home,she plans to go to the gymnasium for three years in the new languastic line. The gymnasium is comparable to our last two years of high school and the first year of college. Her ul- timate goal in her education is to become a teacher. We, the students of LHS, are in- deed honored to have such a fine, young person as Helga for our for- eign exchange student. Many students and parents gave Helga a cordial Ameri- can welcome at the reception held in her honor soon after her arrival. Among those receiving Helga are Karen Anderson, Judy Connell, and LeRoy Thompson. enictA A total fulfillment of life could be summed up in friends, achievements and fond memories. As seniors, we have experienced one aspect of life, the years of maturation and education. The time is nearing when the so called best years of our life or the fun years will we must rely on o u r ex- periences and knowledge. In the years that lie ahead each of us will en- counter new aspirations, experiences and satisfac- tions. This is the other side of the coin of life t h at is yet to be over- turned . end.

The homecoming festivities were climaxed when the Cardinals victoriously trounced the Marshall Lions 25 to 0. The band exercised intricate marching maneuvers as they perform- ed during the half time of the game. In salute to Queen Lorna Forrest, the band formed a heart as the tune of Sweetheart of Sigma Ch?' filled the air. Puensfce Vah Ait if Jcctball The Battle-Axe stays' This expression sums up the Luveme- Pipestone football game in cne sentence. The students of LHS always look forward to an exciting game when we compete against Pipestone. To make it even more exciting the Battle- Axe has been added. It is a trophy which is displayed in the winner's school. Luverne has had the Battle-Axe ever since it has started. Ourhcpe is that we can keep it far many years to come. Remember, the Battle-Axe stays. BACK ROW: Coaches Arling Anderson, Ernest Dahlberg, Roger Larson, Dennis Erickson, La Moyne Polzin. FRONT ROW: Managers Keith McIntyre and Dick Herman.

This is the scenery every year of the football season. They strive to improve Junior high football players listen attentively to Coach Erickson as he explains a new play. their own ability and they learn to work as a team. Each boy's main goal is to play on the varsity team when he reaches senior high. This year the boys had a very good season. Although they played few teams during the season, they played well and came out with the title of conference champs.

The brisk step and the snappy cadence mark the appearances of the marching band each spring and fall. Under the direction of Mr. Johnson a superb performance was given by the band as they led the activities as host band for the annual Tri—State Band Festival in the fall. Although the band didn't participate in the usual number of out-of-town events they provided entertain- ment and music at the football games and local parades. 37 fiatch 7'toirlerA I am sure you all re- call those high-s tepping young ladies in front of the band. These are the marching band baton twirl- ers. They prepare street routines and half-time shows for football and basketball games. One of their most important public appearan- ces is at the Tri-State Band Festival Twirling Con- test. Last fall they walk- ed away with second place. We can be proud of them for they bring a lot of recognition back to LHS. Members of this group are Alice Henningson, a senior? Vikki Golla and Linda Bow- man, juniors and Dixie Winge, a sophomore. Last but not least- that is the position the flag swingers hold in the LHS marching band. Th is group of girls, consisting of only three, won first place in the flagswinging division of the Tri-State Band Festival again this year. During football sea- son the flagswingers, with the twirlers, added the finishing touches to the half-time shows. The time and practice that t h e se girls put in seem very worthwhile because they receive a lot of pleasure and enjoyment from it. The flagswingers are as follows: Judy Connell,Ei- leen Jessen, and Twilla Hamann. rfhhual Senior Editors ........................ Judith Connell Twi1 la Hamann Junior Editors ........................

Mif Junior ClaAA Plaif The Junior Class presented a fine melodrama Kind Lady, starring Vikki Golla in the lead. The play centered around a dignified and aris- tocratic middle-aged woman, living quietly in her London home, who is surrounded by a family of crooks. They alienate her family and friends from her and practically convince the outside world and her, that the kind lady is hopelessly insane. The players showed true acting ability in their parts and made a success of Kind Lady. Only a fond memory Is reflected to Vikki Golla as she reminisces the fun and tears that were shared by the members of the class play.

They put in at least one hour a week for actual libr ary assistance and many more hours for library activities. Early in the fall the girls had a tea for their mothers; the Phi Beta dance was another result of the endless ef- forts of this group. Many other activities have been planned by the club for this spring. We owe a great deal of appre- ciation to this group and to our librarian for the assistance they have given the students of LHS.

This is the familiar question that is asked by many of the study hall teachers. Many students don't even know what OPS is. OPS is an organization con- sisting of many boys who use their homerooms and study halls for the purpose of showing films to classes. Girls, next time you go past that barn door, don't forget to give the boys inside the eye; but don't detract them from operating those complicated machines.

This group mostly all girls, is divided into three groups. Each group works at different games. The money that is taken in goes to the Student Council, who in turn allocates the funds to diff- erent school organizations. We are indeed fortunate to have this fine group of studaits who have given their time and efforts for the betterment of Luverne High School. The concession workers are a busy bunch trying to serve hungry people at half-time. Checkrow Number please. No, this isn't Bell Telephone-it's the checkroom. This group of efficient girls offer to the visitors of LHS one of the most essential conveniences. Their duty is to check in and out coats, hats, etc. of the patrons for a small charge. A big thanks is offered to these people for the fine work that they do. Hary Ann Oeding or one of the many other check- room workers is always on the job checking hats and coats. Tom Serle, one of the efficient ushers, Is always ready to help you find a place at games or concerts. V-therA Right this way please, watch your step! This is the typical lang- uage of the LHS student ushers. These people, including only a few girls, take over the job of ushering at games, concerts etc. Parking cars for our bask- etball games is a so done by the ushers. With the assistance of our ushers , the spectators attend- ing all school events find accommodations swiftly and with very little confusion. did A A 62 Juhicrd After a long climb these students are almost at the top of the ladder. Anxiously awaiting to rule, the Juniors have taken responsibility and advice as they matured in wisdom and knowledge. The Juniors worked many long hours to again produce the prize-winning float for the Homecoming parade this year.

Can this be true? We, of LHS disagree. The sophomores of 1960-61 are far from being unwise and foolish. Instead we must give them credit for taking the title of sophomores in their stride. This class has shown much in athletica music, debate and declam. They are spirited and are filled with much enthusiasm. The senior and junior class can confi- dently leave the burden of LHS in the class of '63. The Cardettes show their pent-up enthusiasm as the team came out on the floor for the Pipe- stone game.

They make appearances at such events as the Christmas and Spring con- certs given by the vocal de- partment. Another event is held in the spring of the year. There is a great var- iety in pieces which are sel- ected by the director. Miss Jordahl. All and all, the boys enjoy themselves very much. CmemUeJ After the chorus and $lee clubs have organized in the fall, smaller ensembles are selected. Students interested in trying out for these ensembles sign up and are worked into a group. Then the work begins. Once a week the members meet and practice. Their eventual goal is to be very polished and well rehearsed for con- tests. All ensembles are entered in the district; those placing there go on to further contests with the event- ual goal of entering state competi- tion.

This Is another part of our GAA organization in our school While Alice Sch- midt seems pleased wlth her bowlIng ability, Pat Hatthleson seems to be ponder I n g over how to do It. The Girls' Athletic Association is where the girls can let off their excess energy. Here the girls can play basketball, tumble and jump on the trampoline. They even go bowling once a month. The girls who tumble or jump on the trampoline often present their abilities at a basketball half-time. Their leader is physical education teacher. Miss Boetel.

Luverne took the conference by losing only one confer- ence game, which was Win- dom. Later in the season the ball club avenged their earlier defeat by a 19 point win. The high- light of the season was playing against Edgerton, the State Champs of 1960. After a thrilling game, the clock showed Luverne 68, Edgerton 66. The final record for Luverne was 17 wins and 1 loss. The team should be commended for their excellent record.

VarAitif Cheerleader Supporting the athletic events in Luverne High School are the four lively cheerleaders.Vim, vigor, and vitality appeared to be their motto as they led excited crowds with cheers. Following the team to every game along with the cheerleaders was their mascot, Mr. Erd, a minature gopher in a red cart. Often, the only souvenir they took home from a game is a sore throat or an aching back but these will be long remembered memories. We know that with this energetic foursome our school spirit will never drop. Gayle Skattum, Jayona Collins, Audrey Forrest, and Haxine Kie- bach, junior-high cheerleaders, lead the student body in a cheer for the team. The senior cheerleaders smiles can never relate all the memories that have been stored up in the time that they have been cheering. Miss Boetel awards them with a small pin for a job well done.

V)re Ailing Three years and Luverne wins the dis- trict wrestling meet. This is a very good mark of progress. To aquaint the students with the new sport, a pro- gram was put on so that the students could see the different holds and the way of scoring. Luverne also had the privilege of entertaining the district contest, so many students were able to cheer the boys on to victory. Much of the credit for their .success goes to coach, Mr. Erickson, and assistant coach, Mr. James. The boys certainly had a year to be proud of. Next time you hear that one of the boys is on a diet, don't laugh; they are on it for a special purpose. Their rewards are ours in victory. JteAtneh The freshmen, now rulers of the junior high, will next year be the lowly class of the senior high. They must work their way up by making them- selves known and by leaving last i n g impressions. But because of the initiative and eagerness shown this year, they will soon be active leaders during their senior high days. FIRST ROW: Darrell DePauw, Robert Anderson, Ronald Bruxvorst.

Prom I960 Before the unforgetable day of May 13 many long hours of hard work and prep- aration went into the 1960 Junior-Senior Prom. Under the able direction of Mr. Polzin and Mr. Larson the juniors paper- mached palm trees and made a grass hut. A week before the big day the juniors started decorating the gym. They hung many rolls of crepe paper streamers and many silver stars to give the formally attired couples a romantic atmosphere. While the gym was one scene of hours of work, the cafeteria became another. Weeks before, the junior girls got to- gether and planned a menu. Later they organized a committee of junior mothers to prepare the food- They also selected waitors and waitresses to serve for the banquet. As a result of the many long hours, of hard work our prom was the best ever. Many students and faculty enjoyed the colorful banquet served by the Junior's mothers. Junior class presldent Tom Serie, and his date, Linda Remme, led the formally attired couples In the Grand March. Scuth Pacific Bali Hai was calling that night of May 13, 1960. As the enchantment of the South Seas filled the atmosphere, couples were intrigued by the magic of a memorable evening. Attired in formal wear, the members of the junior and senior classes and their quests bedecked the tropical scene in additional beauty. Jimmy Thomas and his orchestra provided the sound of the sea and the couples seemed to dance upon the waves. In the center of the dance floor was an actual size grass hut. Blue sky with silver stars green vines, palm trees, ooooanuts, punch from a pineapple, tropical flowers,and soft music made up the rest of the South Seas setting. When the final straps of music drifted away into the night, the excitement still remained on the faces of thoae who were part of the magic and enchantment of the South Seas. Cherished thoughts will long be remembered by Becky Skat turn and Ouane Christianson. Couples filled the dance floor as they swirled to the enchanting music of the South Seas. 79 FIRST ROW: Tanya Vining, Karen Fred- eriksen, Sherri anne Medill, Maxine Kieback, Virginia Scott, Emily Davis, Maryann Baatz, Sharon Stanley, Jane Vender Kooi, Bryan Kayser, David Schoon.

Cardette Sand Many young musicians practice long hours on their instruments in hopes that they will someday be promoted into the varsity band. Under the direction of Miss Maxine Olson, the B Band has this year attempted to master more difficult music during their daily rehearsals. The band has inherited the var- sity bands'sold uniforms, and they made their first appearnace march- ing in the Homecoming parade. Another highlight came when they played for the Luverne-Rock Rapids game. Their final appearance for the year is at the Spring Band Concert. If these students keep up the fine work they will someday proud- ly be members of the noted varsity band. Preparing for the upcoming contest, the Cardette Band was practicing very hard to play each note correctly for Miss Olson, their instructor. £chtits The band soloists work hard on their own numbers to present them at contest. Any band member may take a solo to contest, but it re- quires a lot of hard practice. Luv- erne has had a lot of fine soloists participating in contest each year with many fine ratings. Many solo- ists even make their way to state contest and win good ratings. The band council is made up of eight of the band members plus the band officers. This group, under the direction of Mr. Johnson, has worked hard this year to keep the band running smoothly.

Their student council is a shining example of democracy in action. Even though they don't decide the future of the world at their meetings, they are still mighty important to student government. Students are given the opportunity to bring problems into the open and work out solutions for them. The council also arranges to have several Junior High parties where they can have their own fun without having Senior High students there to bother them. Members are elected by the students themselves to insure a more representative government and a better working council. FIRST ROW: Greg Thone, Paul Anderson, Darlene Drummond, Harcia Skattum.

Be- coming disgusted with his bus- iness partner Si (Duane Lammert, Dennis Me Intyre, and Dave Smith) he wages ten thousand dollars with them that he will be able to tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours. Because of the necessity of telling the literal truth,Bob answers many embarrassing questions before his fiancee (Sharon Jacobs) and friends. This extraordin- ary feat was accomplished be- fore a captivated audience on April 7-8 under the adept dir- ection of Mr. Hussong. Also included in the cast were: Kay Anderson, Steve Bressler, Peggy Holder, Audrey Madison, and DonnaOye. David Smith seemed to puzzle the actors with his sudden outburst.

This past year, the baseball team played hard for every game they entered. Win or lose, they always seemed to en- joy playing at their very best. The schedule was a busy one as Luverne played many different teams in the district. Mr. Polzin, the coach, did an excellent job in portraying the boys' ability. The team had a good year by winning over many of the opponents. Pipestone defeated Luverne in the district championship 4 to 3. That game proved to be the highlight of the year. All in all, Luverne's baseball team had a successful year. Andy Hagemann rounding third base, coming home with another tally.

Track Although the Luverne Track Team has in- adequate equipment, the team did fairly well during the season. The team went to such places as Windom, Ellsworth and the Trojan Relays in Worthington. The team had only two seniors; the remainder of the team consisted mostly of sophomores and juniors. The team did well in most positions for the regional contest. Wayne Emery in the high jump, Dick Jordahl, Dale Hansen, Jim Getman, and Bill Mohr, went to the regional. In- cidently, the mile relay team broke our school record.

The fathers meet each other and the coaches of the athletic department. Last spring Mr. Christiansen, the head coach of Concordia College, Moorhead, Minn- esota, was the guest speaker. The football captain,Dave Smith, gave a little talk on the gratitude of having such fine coaches. The basketball captain for the 1960-61 year was announced. He is Andy Hagemann.

Vaticnal Honor £ocietif What does it mean to be a member in good standing? if you are speaking a- bout the National Honor Society, it pri- marily means that scholarship is your commendable characteristic. Along with this, you must have leadership, charac- ter, and service. Five per cent of the junior class and fifteen per cent of the senior class are accepted. if a person is elected to this society, they have received the highest honor the school can offer. It also means nuch on your permanent record and will be a great asset to you when you leave the halls of lhs. Both Gordy and Ruth agree that Girls' and Boys' State help build better inform- ed citizens of tomorrow. (jirh and £tate Ruth Ann Kruse and Gordy Hamann, LHS's delegates to Girls' and Boys' State were elected by a ballot of their fellow junior classmates. In Minneapolis, the girls camped at the 4-H dorm at the fair grounds while the boys stayed at the men's dorm at the U campus. The purpose of this trip was to learn more about our Minnesota government. The girls and boys each elected a governor, lieutenant governor, etc. In this way, a better understand- ing of our governments' functioning can 92 be obtained. eh cfj mo E I EFISWBjEl STSEBgl iJsi Os h i L $ £ i EES sa i 50 ai 2 w @ f Lu h- 4 M m® m | U m m mm Ml 1« 1 £ mrai £ISl£|g|£ia IS m HHE 5 Iflctto: Tonight toe launch, token Akall toe anchor?

They wore their white caps and gowns with pride. On June 2, 1960, ninty-three seniors received their diplomas. The program included vocal selections by the Senior Chorus. Other musical selections were given by Carla Quan- beck and Dennis McIntyre. The com- mencement adduss was given by Rev. A. DeLapp. The president of the school board presented the diplomas.

The graduating seniors of I9 0 are anxiously preparing to receive their diplomas as they put on their gowns. 94 The Reverend A. DeLapp, a former Luverne High graduate, gave the I960 commencement address to the graduating class. (jtac(uatich A symbol of hard work and many mem- ories was the . ass ring of I960. The ring had the year written on the side with the graduate's initials on the outside. They could choose either a black onyx, red, blue, or a plain setting. The Halls of Ivy has been sung and tears of mixed emotion came to the eyes of the graduates. The many memories of those wonderful high school days flash back to mind. What lies ahead? Many will go on to college and continue their schooling and many will find jobs. The first big decision that a teenager has to make lies before him now. Yes, our graduate will go out into the world tonight and find a place for himself. But one thing is certain—the pro- blems, the happiness, and the disappointments that were shar- ed in high school are memories that will never be forgotten. They will mold and continue to mold for an entire lifetime. Like many other seniors Dave Smith left for college with the air of anticipation and excitement. ttliAA fitoa £ety For 13 years in Luverne Public Schools Miss Alva Berg gave of herself to t h e youth of this area.
