SHADES OF RED Each of us is many colors. Every per- son, every situation we have met has affected us with its individuality. Luv- erne High School has colored us with the many differing moods of its red and white world. The shades of the QUIET times, the STRONG and HARSH times, the COM- PETITIVE times, and the LIGHT times have blended into our minds, our hearts, and our personalities. We are what our world has made us. LHS is only a part of our world. Its SHADES of RED will mix with the tones of countless other situations to continue coloring of characters. The lights and shadows of our experiences here will mellow and blend with usage and time. But always present in us, although they may be hidden, changed or painted over, will be Luverne's SHADES of RED. Always on the move— no time for rest Students of LHS have an opportunity to take part in various extra-curricular activities. Yearbook, school paper, band, athletics, chorus and all the clubs are only a sampling of the numerous act- ivities of LHS. In taking part, the students have the privilege of displaying their talents and expressing their opinions and ideas. The students also learn the art of getting along plus sportsmanship. The annual staff puts in many long hours on the '70 Cardinal! Becky and Ann return to school to get a forgotten book. Barb adds her artistic ability to the junior float. 8 Blood, sweat, and tears Going through school, students experience numerous frustrations and joys. Faced withhard work, we try our best to complete it successfully. Our BLOOD tingles as we strive for excellence in academics and activities. Students SWEAT out tests, report cards, and competition in extra-curricular act- ivities. TEARS come about with the sad- ness of failure and the happiness of suc- cess . Pandoras Box another life for Dan and Bob. 10 Larry painfully accepts Man- ager J. B s help. Tom spends his noon hour repair- ing his Yamaha. 11 Ben, Bob, Tim, Debbie and Gary relax in the atmos- phere of the debate room. On the go with the times L.H.S. students express their beliefs, ideas, and needs Music becomes a means of self-expression for band members. In school we have an opportunity to bring out our ideas in the classroom and other activities. Students express themselves in their speaking and actions. Using our beliefs and needs, we are trying to change the world for the better. 12 Gary expresses his views on the morator- ium. Kathy serves a needy customer at the Blue Mound Inn. AFS visiting students shared their exper- iences of their home countries with the students of LHS. Junior High boys help themselves to milk in the lunch line. L. H. S. students are kept busy all year round with academics and other activities. They become involved in athletics, band, chorus and other organizations. The youth center became a new addition in our world of entertainment, also. It gives the stu- dent body a place to go and meet their friends. Mr. Weinman teaches Jean Burns the ropes of ANNUAL typing. Freshman girls gossip during noonhour. Gary shows Doug one of his many hidden ta lents. L.H.S.—where the action is! Almost late again, Dallas makes a run for it. Joyce makes good use of the school phone. 15 Peggy demonstrates the art of free speech. Barb works diligently on a German project. The ladder of learning is high and hard to climb Obtaining an education is similar to climbing a ladder to higher learning. We begin our climb to the top of the ladder as inexperienced novices. Our lives are changing as we progress step by step. We mature in many different ways. Growing both physically and mentally we reach out to find ourselves in this new, exciting world. Hangin’high, Jim observes life with a dif- ferent outlook. r 16 FACULTY mfmm mmm WimmMm The superintendent gazes into the future of L.H.S. Harvey G. Eitreim South Dakota State M.S. To the students of Luverne High School : That our country is confronted with a crisis which has been postponed for many years by inattention to human problems is undeniable. Human malad- justment, alienation, generation gap, or just plain human unhappiness—call it what you will— is on the rise. These are not days in which it is possible for anyone to make easy decisions. Our times demand a strong commitment coupled with great faith. We can't do everything that needs to be done in our times. But whatever we do must be well done. Life is not given; it is lent. It is up to each one of us to meet and fulfill this obligation. We must have confidence, willing to give of ourselves, and have a strong faith if we are to achieve results. We have no alternative but to accept these responsibilities. We wish you well, and that your life will be one of many happy tomorrows. 18 Mr. Harvey G.

Efforts made by the LHS faculty consisting of 49 qualified members influence the students to better education. Other duties include assisting the administration, chap- eroning dances and supervising extracurricular activities. Their ideas and teaching methods are unlimited as well as the rewarding gains they receive. Education through motivation is the name of their game. A belief of the motivator is that achieve- ments are in reach of the goal- finding student. Mr. Ouverson and his wife trip the light fantastic at the annual Snoball dance.

Custo- dians pick up the mail, distri- bute supplies to faculty, main- tain the heating and lighting sys- tem, keep the rooms freshly painted and clean. Bus drivers pick up students regularly each morning despite weather conditions. They serve as chauffers to the four kinder- garten classes faithfully each day. The responsibility of tak- ing students to out-of-town ac- tivities is often overlooked. Bus Drivers get ready to go on their routes. Janitors perform various maintenance services for LHS. 27 Concern for students physical and mental health Sue Tollefson, our school nurse has her days filled with many activities. She checks every stu- dent that has been absent because of illness. Mrs. Tollefson keeps all health records in order, gives weight, height, vision, and hear- ing checks, and also advises the the Medical Careers Club. The cooks serve satisfying meals to the students to keep them going throughout the day. Thank you, to those who sacrifice their morn- ings to prepare the noon meal. Cooks provide students with nourishment Marion Braa, Alice Mann, Viola Lammert and Florence Rogge get ready to serve the student body. 28 Seniors get going after three months oj leisure Showing signs of eagerness, excitement, and plain old boredom, 157 students began their final year at LHS. Research themes added extra time and work to many students schedules. This gave seniors the opDortunity to write on a subject of interest and express their feelings. A lot of thought and organization went into these memorable papers. Working on floats began a fun-filled Homecoming week. King Bernie and Queen Carol led the festivities including the parade, football game, dance and variety floor show. As the seniors walk down the gym floor on May 28, they will leave their joys and tears of the past to be long remembered.

A.F.S. program brings Rainer to L.H.S. Foreign exchange student, Rai- ner Adamek, says the American way of life is a new and great experience for him. Rainer, who is from West Germany, re- sides with the Jim Cinkle family while living in Luverne. Besides his usual schedule of six academic classes, Rainer is kept busy by participating in Student Council, and his hobbies of stamp collecting and playing guitar. He enjoys playing tennis, handball, and volleyball, and he also is a member of a judo club. Foreign Exchange programs help promote understanding among students through the sharing of different ideas and experiences. Mastering the skill of typing is Rainer's goal during fourth hour. pi pi RU MI Ml p Football homecoming sparks festivities and school spirit Homecoming marks the climax of the fall season, with all the thrills and excitement of the many activities. At the coronation, Bernie Maras and Carol Schumacher were chosen to reign as king and queen over the week-end of festivities. Following coro- nation, students displayed their singing and acting talent in a floor show.

At mid- season, the Cardinals are riding high at the top of the conference, with a 7-1 record. School spirit at LHS takes many forms. The cheerleaders lead the entire student body in cheering . Woolsey's Wildcats is a self-ap- pointed pep club to cheer the Cards on to victory. This group of senior highboys adds beef to the cheering section besides yelling their original cheers. School spirit is also height- ened by the pep band, who leads the traditional Charge! Already athletes and fans alike are looking forward to the tournament season -hoping, speculating, and wondering. But above all is the anti- cipation for the next game, the next play, the next basket! Above: Tom leads the Cards to victory.

Each class decorated a hall under the theme of Winter Wonderland. At the Snoball dance at the end of the week. Faith and the Believers provided the dance music. Colorful decoration and a giant snowman in the middle of the room added to the students' enjoyment of the dance. Foreign Exchange Student Rainer Adamek received a transister radio as a Christmas present from the senior class . Jack thoroughly enjoys himself at the annual Snoball dance. 49 Jean applies persistence in decorating the junior hall with the theme of international Christmas. Anticipating their senior year, the jun- iors find life busy and time scarce. This year they learn to accept more responsi- bilities and take part in more activities. The juniors are busier scholastically with more electives to choose from. Along with their increasing responsibi- lities, they also chose class rings as a rememberanee of their high school days. To finance the most important event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, the juniors sold magazines, sponsored the Home- coming dance and staged the Junior Class Play.

They take part in many social activi- ties such as school dances and being waitors and wait- resses for Prom. These students begin to realize the great competition in our world today and prepare themselves by selecting their college curriculum.

Annual typists - L to R: Jean Burns, Nancy Eberlein, Kathy Olson, Chris Hovland, Barb '70 Cardinal Each year a book is distributed to students of LHS. Memories and precious moments are captured and compiled by a group of students of LHS. The task of preparing a paste- book is not an easy one. LHS is one of the few schools left to employ this method. The annual staff takes pictures, lays out pages and does all of the typing. When the book is sent to the company to be published, it resem- bles a scrapbook. Many mistakenly think the pub- lisher does most of the work. But it's the students on the staff who spend long hard hours of work who make the yearbook something to be proud of.

Leadership of the students by the students Leadership training must be- gin in the adolescent years. Capable people are chosen by the students to represent them in this small governing body. Members are expected to com- municate easily with students and to find out what the stu- dents wishes are. The Student Council tries to make school life as pleasant as possible. Introduction to new ideas and the everchang- ing world is the key to a good student council. Student Council Cabinet consists of: Renee Wandersee, Mary Connell, Shirley Madi- son, Bob Lippi, Jim Hommen, Tom Sed- lacek. Spanish club offers new understanding between countries Furthering the knowledge of a foreign language is just one function of the Spanish club. The history, customs, and people of Spanish speaking coun- tries are discussed at meetings. Mr. Bartlett and the four officers lead the meetings, which are held once a month. Spanish club members participated in Homecoming by making a float. They also had the opportunity to go to the El Matador cafe at Sioux Falls to have a authentic Spanish meal. Mr. Bartlett and Rhonda Hansen take time out from a busy meeting to have lunch. Mr. Bartlett instructs Spanish club officers, Cleta Gacke, Jane Wildung, Dennis Olsen, Martha Merrill and Pixie Larson, on lab operation. 71 Competing for district honors, one-act play cast strives for perfection Practicing every night for the January twenty second district contest, the one-act play cast worked hard to perfect their parts. The play was A Marriage Proposal by Anton Chekor, a farce in one act. Mrs. Purrington directed the cast which included Bob Lippi, Vicki Anderson and Ben Vander Kooi. Dean Ohlen was stage manager. Rehearsing for the one-act play, B. J. acts out the role of an elderly man. Vicki and Bob work hard on memorizing their lines for their performance in the one- act play. Debate encourages f ree speech Resolved: That Congress should pro- hibit United States unilateral military in- tervention in foreign countries! This topic formed the basis for the debate students' work in LHS. Debaters learn skills in organization, public speaking, research, and teamwork. Under the direction of Mr. Purrington and Miss Trimbo, the team attended tour- naments all over the state and in neigh- boring states.Besides learning and having fun, the debate students ended the year with numerous victories. The debaters and Mr. Purrington board the little school bus for another journey to a tournament. Jim Johnson, Dennis Olson, Debbie Franz, and Steve Loger practice debate tactics Drama club offers experience for budding talent Inspired by enthusiastic stu- dents, a new organization was formed this year at Luverne High School. Though still in its early stages, the drama club is showing signs of increasing popularity. Under the direction of Miss Trimbo, drama students study techniques of acting and demon- strate these techniques in the plays which they put on. The de- velopment of this club provides exciting experience for budding talent. Bob and Vicki memorize their lines for their performance. Roberta and Kurt rehearse during a drama club meeting.

The 63 member Concert Choir, under the able direction of Mr . Lance Davies, began their public appearances with a journey to Worthington on November 1 for a music-festival. Here, the choir participated in a mass-choir, in- cluding many other schools, and also performed by themselves . November 11 the choir enlightened the Veteran's Day program with an unaccompanied selection for the student body. However, most of their time and hard work was in preparation for the annual Christ- mas Concert given to the public on December 9. The Concert Choir then prepared themselves for their final perform- ances including the Spring Con- cert, a Pops Concert, February 17, and the district large groups con- certat Worthington. As usual, the choir was warmly appreciated by the grand applauding of the aud- iences. 87 Front row: Barb Johnson, Pam Hoiland Marilyn Loger, Nancy Brase, Debra Toft- eland, Barb Hendrickson, Mary Savage , Ruth Iveland, Becky Luginbill, Susan jJen Herder, Carol Kjenslee, Jane Goebel , Helen Steinfeldt, Jane Estenson, Deb Rin- kel, Ann Vander Kooi.

Lance Davies, practiced first hour every day in preparation for their main appear- ance in the annual Christmas concert. Here, they sang various selections for the public along with the Concert Choirand the Chamber Singers. Junior High Contest and the Junior High Fine Arts Festival terminated the year for the B Choir. Experience and practice that they gained in singing with a large group will prove valuable in preparing them for the Concert Choir and other such groups. Greg, Bob and Jeff relax between numbers of the Christmas Concert. 89 Chamber sihgers spark up the festive holidays Adding joyful smiles and songs to the holiday season, the Chamber Singers caroled through the stores and down Main Street during Christmas. This select group, chosen by its director, Mr. Davies, wore the traditional outfits, com- posed of full-length gowns and corduroy tuxedos. Every Tuesday night they met to practice new songs and re- hear se the old. Besides sing- ing during the Christmas sea- son, the Chamber Singers participated in contest as a small group, composed of 20 members.

A winless season for our gridderswas hard to take. A O in the win column really doesn't show the true spirit of this year's team. From the 13th of August, right up to the last whistle of the final game, the team never gave up. Throughout the long, ted- ious practices before school began, to the cold rainy one of late October, the boys practiced as hard as any of the other teams in the conference. One of the dominant as- pects of our team that was displayed throughout every one of our games was that of sportsmanship. This year's seniors con- sisting of Randy Aanenson, Gerry Bartholomaus , Steve Connell, Larry Franken, Paul Gabriel- son, Jim Hommen, Jeff McClure, Ron Melzer, Gene Noll, Dean Ohlen, Tom Sedlacek, and Rick Serie, showedthatthe ath- eletes care for their school and the traditions it stands for. Instead of degrading our team for their losing sea- son, we should applaud them for their never give up spirit!

With the loss of 4 stalwart runners, the Cards finished 2nd in the conference and 4th in the district. Luverne placed Kevin Peterson in the region and he also qualified for the honor of running in the state meet. Kevin's time in the region was a very respectable 16:08 for the grueling 2 miles in which he placed 5th. Only the top 5 runners in the region qualify for the state. In the state meet only the best runners in Minnesota compete. Kevin placed 87th out of 160 runners, which is very good. Captain of this year's team was Gary Johnson, who throughout the season won many high spots in key races.

Under the watchful eye of Coach Lenny Brown, the var- sity wrestlers as of this writ- ing have a record of 2 wins, 9 losses and 1 tie. Even though their record shows a losing season according to the num- ber of matches wrestled, the team has given eve.-ything they had in every match. This years squad was made up of 2 eighth graders, 1fresh- rran, 1 sophomore, 4 juniors, and 4 seniors. Many of the lighter weight classes for the Cards this year were compet- ing against wrestlers with as many as five seasons experi- ence. Although this was a handicap, the younger mem- bers of the squad tried as hard as they could and within a couple of years we predict a very successful season for the Luverne Cardinals.

Freshmen begin to show real interest in athletics Just beginning their athletic careers in high school are the boys of the ninth grade. Fundamentals along with playing experi- ence are the two main goals that Coach Roberts and Erickson strive for. Although this is their first real taste of inter-school competition, the freshmen always try to put out 100% everytime they play. A good example of this is the frosh football team with its undefeated record of 6-0. Allowing their opponents only eight points shows that in the future years these boys can be counted on for their winning teams. Most important in the lives of the boys who start as freshmen is the chance to play Given the chance to show what they can do is so important not only to the par- ticipants but to their faithful fans.

As the weeks passed on,they began to compose themselves and explore the facilities of the school. They soon discovered band, chorus, FHA, and C squad sports in which they could participate. As the school year progressed,these students could be seen running here and there trying to accomplish all that had to be done. Although they are just beginning the long struggle toward graduation, they take it all in stride and look forward to even more successful years in high school.

With the wear- ing of time, these SHADES OF RED will dim and fade in the presence of freshly acquired colors. A variety of colors will continue to blend in us un- til each of us reaches the shade which is our own. For some this time has come, for some it will be soon, for still others it will be a harder goal to reach. But when our search is finally rewarded with a harmonious combina- tion of lights and shadows that makes life meaningful, we will see our place in the kaleidoscope which is the world.
