1971 Cardinal Luverne High School Luverne, Minnesota Asking the inevitable questions who am I? Why am I here? Where am I A time for seeking new ideasgoals and hopes And finally there is a coming of age. 8 day in the life . . Turn-down days A typical day in the life of a student is often one of confusion, frustration, and unsolvable problems. Mondays and Fri- days seem to create the most difficulty for students to study. From the most pressing world problems, to the minor problems and daily inci- dents, the students search for answers. Although these experiences may seem humorous to the on-looker, they can be embarrassing or severe to the victim. These incidents, no matter how unimpor- tant, all contribute to the shaping of our character. Cathy gets a rude awakening as she attempts to get a drink. Randy grimaces as Mike prepares to dissect a raccoon. After his football injury, Richard patiently watches his fellow team members battle out a game. Happiness is . .. All of the days in the life of a student are not turn-down days. Care free moments brighten the never ending school days. These experiences may be ones we will never forget or merely fleeting moments. Hopefully the happiness found through friendship and school will be the experi- ences we will remember. Kathy and Nancy express the joy of eating. 10 ■ 7977 — A year of controversy Light looked down and beheld Darkness. ’’Thither will I go, said Light. Peace looked down and beheld War. Thither will I go, said Peace. Love looked down and beheld Hatred. Thither will I go, said Love. So came Light, and shone. So came Peace, and gave rest. So came Love, and brought Life. And the Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us. Images '77 Honored attendants enjoy homecoming week Nancy and Kevin proudly walk down the aisle after being crowned. Awaiting the students decision, eight high-strung Seniors made their way up the aisle for the start of the homecoming activ- ities. As Dennis Olson slowly opened the scroll, hearts pounded faster and the audience hushed as the moment finally arrived. Tears of happiness were shed as Nancy Eberlein and Kevin Petersen were crowned as reigning queen and king of LHS. True school spirit was shown by the hours of work put into the floats and stunts that were in the parade Friday afternoon. Cur- rent advertisements served as the theme. As confident fans made their way to the big football game, excitement and spirit filled the stands. Despite the 7-26 loss to Worthington, the fun and spirit could still be witnessed at the dance. The rock and roll band, The Ride provided the high school students and alumni with music. Kathy and Bruce relax after the Home- coming parade. 16 Kathy and Dave enjoy a good laugh after the many Homecoming activities. Barb, Dave, Kris Anne, and Jeff were chosen candlelighters and ushers for this year's Homecoming activities. Princesses, Twyla, Cindy, and Mary talk before Homecoming Coronation.

The dance was highlighted as Kathy Blattner, senior class president, presented Kyoko Kogure with the traditional gift. The gift the senior class picked out this year in- cluded a letterman's jacket and a bottle of perfume. Decorations in the cafeteria provided the perfect holiday atmosphere. Kyoko appears in he r new lette rman's j acket, a gift from the senior class. Marcia, Keith, and Rick, decorate the Christmas tree for the Snoball dance. Sandy waits as Howard buys their tickets. Superintendent proposes bond issue for swimming pool In the course of a year, Mr. Eitreim has many obligations. He is not only superintendent for Luverne schools but for all the schools in the County. Making decisions as to snow- days, keeping the schoolboard and the public informed of trends and costs in education, filing reports for Federal aid for sum- mer school and adult education classes are some of Mr. Eit- reim's many duties. One event that was important to Mr. Eitreim this year was the school bond issue. This was a request that Luverne High have a vocational branch and a swimming pool added to its present building. It was voted on by the people of Rock County and was defeated. Even though it failed this year, Mr. Eitreim and the students hope that soon our school will support this proposal. For his twenty-five years of hardworkinthe Luverne school system, Mr. Eitreim deserves appreciation from parents, teachers, and students, of Rock County. Harvey G. Eitreim South Dakota State M. S. 20 Administration regulates school activities John Rath South Dakota State M. S. Alate summer resignation by our Sr. High Principal created an unexpected administrative problem for our school. Mr. Rath, Jr. High Principal, was asked to take on double duty (that of Jr. Sr. High Principal) and he accepted. Many extra hours and much planning and organization, assured the faculty, students, and community that he was capable in his new position. Left to right: John Peterson, Mort Skewes, gras, Al Bot, D.

The LHS faculty tries to fulfill and understand each individual's needs. Advance Science class and the expansion of business offer- ings are examples of curriculum revise- ment. There also has been in evidence greater student freedom from the tradi- tional education methods. More dialogue and communication occurred in classes rather than following the usual lecture and note method. The faculty helps out in the supervision of studentactivities, whichare numerous Another of their projects is the student teacher program through FTA. Many stu- dents, approximately 125, can gain realis- tic teaching experience from this program. Hopefully these progressive programs will benefit LHS.

Along with them the janitors also start out their day to put forth their efforts to keep the school running smoothly. These people, though unacknowledged, serve as an important necessity needed at LHS. Maybe their jobs are not glamorous but our thanks goes out in gratitude for them.

The noon bell rings and suddenly the halls are filled with hungry students headed for the lunch line. Many of these students don't know how much work is put into ev- ery meal. The cooks begin work at 7:00 a. m. and aren't finished until early afternoon. Students cared for in the school infirmary At 8:00 a. m. the nurse, Mrs. Tollefson, arrives at school to find an office full of students waiting to be admitted back into school. Butthis isn't her only work. Dur- ing the course of the year she must take height and weight, check eyes, keep re- cords, and perform many other tasks. In recent years a Medical Careers Club has been organized with Mrs. Tollefson as their advisor. Regular meetings are time consuming for Mrs. Tollefson but certainly beneficial to students interested in the nursing field. Come and get it 30 7977 — A long but promising year for seniors Counting the days until June 3, the seniors anxiously awaited graduation. Their school years had been a mixture of fun, excitement, frustration and boredom. As the year progressed, seniors found themselves eager to be on their own but reluctant to leave their familiar surround- ings. Homecoming festivities were one of the highlights of the 197 0-1971 year for seniors. Queen Nancy Eberlein and King Kevin Pet- erson reigned over the parade, game and dance. Term papers, daily class assignments and extra-curricular activities created a heavy load for seniors. Current issues were an important part in the planning of their futures. Many oppor- tunities were available to the students such as college, vocational schools, armed services or work. The 1971 seniors put forward all their efforts to make their last high school year one they would remember always. Senior class officers, Kathy Blattner, Bruce Ahrendt, Dave Odland, and Dorothy Hoh plan the year's activities. Senior football players practice long hours in hope of a victory.

Juniors wonder What will the future bring? Thoughts of the future were first in the minds of students entering their junior year. Their country's problems and world issues became a very real part of their lives. Living each day as it came was no longer practical. New extra-curricular activ- ities and a broader choice of electivies helped students pre- pare for college or a career. Aptitude tests assisted students in uncovering their talents and interests. In order to finance the Junior- Senior Prom, juniors sold mag- azines, staged their first class play, and sponsored the Home- coming Dance. Class rings were chosen as a memory of their school years. Although anticipating senior status, such a memorable year will not be easily forgotten.

Class of '73 creates new ideas Jim and Rich relax at a home basketball game. An awkward age for any student is their sophomore year in high school. Most sophomores have the happy-go- lucky - here I am world attitude. To the observer they display imma- turity. Regardless of what people may see and think, sophomores do attempt to find themselves and make intelligent decisions. This is evident in their curricular selection - which deter- mines vocational choice or whether they are college bound; and finding keen observation in extra-curricular events. Social acceptance by all ages is ex- tremely important, but to sophomores it is acceptance by the opposite sex. This is natural, but frustrating to them. The privilege of driving the family car becomes an important part of their life, This is the year that girls become young ladies and boys become men.

Rochelle and Rhonda practice their typing skills. Robin begins sewing on her home ec. project. LHS activities create action There are many activities in the life of a student. His activities may be extra-cur- ricular, social or scholastic. Most of a student's life consists of some type of school activity, whether it be homework, athletics, clubs or dances. Many of the students do not realize that school and its activities are their life and career. The majority of the L. H. S. students are kept busy after school and evenings with worthwhile extra-curricular activities. We are very lucky to have so much opportunity to learn through our numerous activities. Dawn and Maynard demonstrate new dance steps at Homecoming. Barb serves JoAnne and Ethanie popcorn from concessions at an athletic event. Kathy Renes and Kathy Blattner take advan- tage of the popcorn sales after school. f Kyoko adds a new smile to LHS Kyoko came to America feeling very alone and unsure of herself. She found a warm welcome and a place to belong in the home of Dr. and Mrs. E. S. Boone. Her two sisters, Jane and Jody, have initiated her into the hectic American way of life. Great interest for Kyoko was shown by the people from Luverne at the open house which was held at the Methodist Church. A party before school at the Boone home and a suprise birthday party at the Youth Cen- ter also expressed friendship and accep- tance. Kyoko has attended many events and has found aplacefor herself in Luverne and in America. Kyoko enjoys a new experience as she rides in the Homecoming Parade.

Senior editors Peggy Martin and JoAnn Blount show junior editors Wendy Wildung and Diane Foerster, the tricks of the trade. 64 Words and pictures reflect the events of 71 Hardwork, frustration and agony are what this yearns annual is constructed of. Every Monday night the staff met at six-thirty to work on this year's book. All the editors gave up at least one of their Study Halls to be used for the annual. This helped them to com- plete their pages on time. Sometimes they felt as if the book of '71 would never be finished. Often many wanted to give up, but continued because of sheer determination. Nowthatthe deadlines have been met, smiles again appear on the faces of the staff members. We would like to give Mhyre's Studio credit for taking various pictures throughout the 1971 Cardinal. Annual typists include Kathy Fick, Connie Walker, and Julie Rust. Roger Tollefson's and Jeff Cleland's skill in photography added much to the 1971 Cardinal. Cheryl, Barb, Bonnie, Janet, Sandy and Linda work hard on the business staff taking care of the money end of the '71 book. 65 Echo editors: Pixie, Ben, Sharon, Kris take time out for some lunch and to read Anne, Vickie, Pat and advisor Mr. Gits, the latest Echo. Echo — the voice of the school Every four weeks students look forward to the new edition of the Echo. Our school newspaper is written by students of LHS. The Personality Parades are one of the favorite articles read, along with many others that interest the student body. Echo is not only enjoyed by students, but also by teachers, adults, and other schools. By reading this paper, these people learn about the students, teachers, and events at LHS. Echo, is truly the voice of the school.

Council under a new constitution Campaign fever hits the Senior High every spring as twelve politically minded students give speeches, voice opinions , and work in an all out effort to get their party elected into office. These twelve, winners of the primary elections, are seeking seats on t he Student Council Cab- inet. The Council is divided into six boards with a Cabinet member as chairman. The boards, covering all school and public activities are: Judicial, Social, Civic, Speech and Drama, Athletics, Music and Art. They act as sounding boards for the students' ideas and are responsible for all changes needed in their area. The projects undertaken by the Council this year were: circulating brochures and buttons for the swimming pool bond issue; choosing the speakers for the Town Meet- ings; circulating petitions for release of POW's from Viet Nam; and spreading material on the nineteen year old vote. Last spring a new constitution was voted in by the student body. The new constitu- tion seems to be working well. Students have a stronger voice, and their extensive participation in community affairs has shown the town that these young people care and are willing to work to make things better. Sandy waits to give her opinion during the Student Council meeting. Foreign worlds brought closer Mastering the Spanish language and understanding the culture is the project of the Spanish Club. Under the new supervision of Miss Gudahl, the students have learned much in the classroom while having occassional'meetings that bring together all the classes in an exchange of knowledge. This year the Spanish students have learned Spanish dances, sang Christmas carols in Spanish, and the third year students have writ- ten their own skits in Spanish . Each student has become more familiar with the foreign world of Spain through his studies in the past year.

Juniors live their parts in The Boarding House Reach Laughter and fun-filled action were the rule as juniors presented The Boarding House Reach before an enthusiastic audi- ence. On Thursday and Friday, November 19 and 20, afternoon matinees for junior high students preceded the regular eve- ning performances. Under the skillful di- rection of Mr. Gerald Hussong, sixteen juniors learned that acting is fun coupled with a lot of hard work and long rehearsals. The Boarding House Reach told the story of a thirteen-year-old boy, Wilber Maxwell, who opened up a boarding house at home while his parents were away on a business trip. Boarders included a prize fighter and his wrestling wife, a traveling insurance salesman, and two bank robbers. When father returned home unexpectedly and was mistakenly arrested, it took a daring plan by Wilber and his pal Hercules to capture the real bank robbers and earn him his bicycle.

Debate provides a challenge for participants Nancy, Barb, Debbie, Mary, and Miss Trimbo admire trophies in the debate room. One of the fun-filled, hard- working organizations this year was debate. Comprised of 27 members, they met Monday nights to practice de- bate tactics. Debate tour- naments were held this year at Worthington, Esterville , Sioux City, Marshall, Man- kato, Sioux Falls Washington, Richfield, Sioux Falls Lincoln and Watertown. Debate this year was under the direction of Miss Trimbo, Mr. Gunderson and Mr. Dalh- berg. The subject matter was air and water pollution. As the yea r ended, Debate rs prepared to defend the con- ference championship. 71 Aesthetic Movement, a combination of talent and enthusiasm Art Club is in its first year and the future looks promising. The art students that belong to this organ- ization were selected by Mr. Larson according to their ability. They met once a week to organize and plan for a Fine Arts publication which is published once a year. This publication has poetry and other literary works, along with art, by LHS students. The publication was printed by students in Graphic Arts. The purpose of Aesthetic Movement was the promotion and appreciation of arts. Completing their first year at LHS the members of Ae sthetic Movement began a new organization that will become a tradition in the school. Aesthetic Movement members: Terry Anderson, Rory Burke, Jeff Erickson, Ricky Jauert, Debbie Luethje, Belinda Mann, Debbie Norton, Janet Sandbulte, Glen West- ebr. 72 Phi-beta spends long hours assisting Miss Berg in the library Shhh- quiet prevails throughout the student library at LHS. Many students are kept quiet vhile reading and doing research work. Students can keep up with current events by reading magazines and newspapers provided by the li- brary. Phi-beta members are kept busy by putting up bulletin boa rds, checking in new books, and get- ting magazines for the students. They hold many candy sales to earn money for their annual din- ner at the Normandy on May 13, to close the year. Virginia and Cheryl assist Miss Berg in the magazine room. Phi-beta officers include Bev Jessen Janet Ranschau, Barb Jessen and Kim Dougherty. FHA — tomorrow's future homemakers FHA represents Future Homemakers of America — dedicated to the improve - ment of home life and its surroundings. One of the big happenings of FHA this year was the FHA picnic, held in Sept- ember. Various games were played by the girls for entertainment. Profit from selling candles, sponsoring a school dance with FFA and bake sales, enabled them to help pay for their field trip. Junior high FHA girls have put many long and hard hours into the Luverne Youth Center. The rooms show their imagination through psychedelic colors of pink, orange, and blue. President of the junior high FHA, Julie Rodgers, was elected to repre- sent our district as secretary and treasurer. Junior high FHA officers include Sherry Bryan, Melinda Hendricks, Julie Vanden Hoek, and Julie Rogers. Initiation of senior high FHA girls included pushing ice cubes down the hall with their noses . MCC — preparing for a career in the field of medicine Medical Careers Club con- tributes a service to LHS and the community by assisting the school nurse and Candy- striping. Experience for the student and extra services and love for the elderly people at the Mary Jane Brown home are a direct benefit of the organi- zation. During the spring,they take field trips to the various medical institutions in the area. MCC is supervised by Mrs. Tollefson. Medical Careers Officers include Sharon Henrickson , Becky Luginbill, Chris Hovland, Aria McClure, Mary Wilcox, and Connie Walker. Cleta lends a helping hand to the Nurse in the morning. FTA gains experience by assisting teachers Luverne's Future Teachers of America is the largest club in the State, For their third year, they are quite successful for being a re- latively new club. The club consists of 150 members who meet once a month. One of their many duties is to spend an hour once a week with their selected teacher. Besides this, they have the opportunity to teach one day in the spring. Senior and junior members at- tended the State capitol in St. Paul for a tour. All members visited a nearby college to further their knowledge of teaching. Talent shows, field trips, and visiting guest lecturers, and the annual Christmas party helped stimulate the student's interest in the teaching profession.

Senior highFFA boys spend their spare time making popcorn for the evenings act- ivities. FFA — promise of better days through better ways Few of us realize all the activities the FFA boys participate in. Once a month, they meet and make plans. This year the money making pro- jects were a corn drive, fruit sales and Christmas card sales. FFA sponsors or gives some of their money to the Luverne Day- care Center, the Crippled Child- ren's home in Worthington and Camp Courage in Minnesota. Concessions for football and wrestling are also provided by the FFA members. Mr. Jim Ouverson is their director. GAA — Competition builds character Thursdays mean more than a day of the week to the GAA girls at Luverne Senior High. This is the day for let- ting go of all the tensions that have built up throughout the long week. Volleyball, basketball, softball, track and bowling are a few of the sports available. Advised by Miss Katie Croes and Miss Catherine Hewitt, gym teachers, club members also competed with other schools in volleyball and basket- ball. Besides promoting sisterhood between fellow students, the girls played touch football with teachers. GAA officers include Sandy Wessels, Miss Croes, Kathy Renes, Connie Ritze and Twyla Strassburg. Gymnastic girls show their persistence at trying handstands. 78 Checkroom and concessions aid athletic fans Special services for sporting events are provided by the check- room and concessions. These workers help to make the game more enjoyable for the fans. Ac- commodations such as a place to hang their coats and the selling of popcorn and candy to munch on during the game are available. In return, the organizations who are in charge of the checkroom and concessions, A chorus members and the FFA, respectively, make a profit which they use for their trips and parties during the year. The FFA serves the football fans, while voluntary workers do their part during the winter sports season. The profits from the winter sports' concessions goto the Student Council. The fans and the workers profit from the checkroom and concessions. Therefore, both the fans and the activities profit from these two services. Roger helps the FFA bag popcorn for one of the games. Taking coats from the fans is just part of the job for these members of the A chorus. 79 Assistants move the crowds with skill Cold and snow have no effect on these hardy young men. By six o'clock on the even- ing of a home basketball game, the carparkers are standing in the school park- ing lots ushering cars into specific parking spots.

Hard work is rewarded Jim and John help load the bus before a band trip. Luverne was awakened by drums pound- ing, brass blaring, and the screaming of Mr. Haugen at 7 o'clock, three mornings a week last summer. Perfection of the mil- itary style, a dignified walk, was the out- come of all the commotion. The State VFW Convention in St. Paul on July 3 and 4 was the first appearance after the hard practice. Nerves were tense dur- ing the 35-minute military inspection by a VFW Sergeant. Not a member was allowed to move and uniforms and instruments were checked down to a scratch, a wrinkle, a smudge, or a blade of grass. With stiff knees and somber faces, the bandperform- ing on a baseball field with no definite yard- lines, captured second place. Luverne was applauded time and again during the parade where VFW officials awarded them first place over tough competition. Football half-time shows this fall fea- tured military marching and the more fa- miliar high step. Marching in the Augu- stana Viking Homecoming parade and en- tertaining the fans during half-time of the Worthington Junior College Homecoming game were honors received in recognition of last summer's hard work. Closing a strenuous season, Luverne hosted another well-managed and well- received band festival on a windy and cool day in late September. 81 Row 1: Linda LeBoutillier, Jane Goebel, Peg Hoiland, Julie Rust, Patti Polzin, Barb Johnson, Mary Merrill, Julie Arends, Jane Estenson, Narcy Recker, Connie Ritze, Kathy Olson, Jeanne Murphy, Row 2: LaDonna Van Iperen, Martha Merrill, Vickie DeGroot, Marcia Ott, Jolene DeBoer, Julee Frakes, Aria McClure, Kris Ann Bot, Kathy Fick, Jeff Laackmann, Cindy Stepp, Dorothy Hoh, Julie Mann, Connie Walker.

After cleaning the mud off their black shoes and putting away their marching band overlays, the eighty senior high musicians got down to work on another phase of band in Luverne. They began to prepare the concert band music for the three concerts they put on this year. This year's music was more challenging than ever before. The clarinets and flutes had more runs; the persussion was expected to cover more parts; every section had to try a little hard- er to fit in with its neighboring sections. Shortly after Christmas vacation, stu- dents selected their solos and ensemble music for the spring contest. Over half of the students played solos, while all were in an ensemble. Practices were held at least once a week at the school or Mr. Haugen's home. As District Contest approached, practices were held twice weekly with a dress rehearsal each of the two nights preceding the contest All members getting an A rating on March 31 went on to the State-Regional Contest at Worthington, May 8. Their musicianship, poise, pride, and how much they wanted this rating was seen in each performance. It is one thing to play in the band and be seldom heard, but it is quite another to play in a four or five piece ensemble or possibly even a solo where the responsibility for the musical effect lies solely on the individual. New uniforms reflect current fashions Sporting their new white ties and white flares, the pep band entertained the crowds at the home basketball games. The new uniforms were decided upon after much discussion as to what was to replace the turtlenecks and black pants worn for the past three years. Both boys and girls wear the flares and ties, along with a navy blue shirt and the familiar red blazer. Playing the late st popular tune s, the pep band also performed at the short Christmas concert for the student body, the Mid-Winter Concertin late January, and the Spring Concert in April. Neckties pose a problem for La- Donna. Paul relieves her anxi- eties by fixing her tie.

Twirlers add glitter and glamour Sparkling outfits and flash- ing smiles on the faces of six young girls greet the specta- tors at every appearance of the marching band. These six girls, the twirlers and the two majorettes, spend many hours perfecting their routines. Combining twirl- ing popular dance, and most importantly, a smile, they compliment the music of the band. Several times yearly, se- lected members of the band meet in Mr. Haugen's office to discuss band matters. They vote on accepting mar- ching band invitations, col- lect dues, take money from ticket sales, and listen to all the gripes of their fellow musicians. The band coun- cil is one way the students can voice their opinions and improve their organization. Band elects its' own leaders Row 1: Dorothy Hoh, Gloria Oien, Mary Mr. Haugen.

This year's seventh grade class was so large that it was able to form its own band. The large number of musicians, plus the fact that freshmen were not members of Senior High band made one Junior High ensemble impossible. Their band periods were split, and the eighth and ninth grade formed one band, while the seventh grade formed the other. This was also the first year for a Junior High stage band. They entertained at a few B squad events and played in the concert. The Junior High band also got its first experience in a long parade down the streets of Worthington in their annual Turkey Days Parade.

Music, in any form, is the joy of life With smiling faces and joyful songs, Mad- rigal caroled in the stores and down Main Street last holiday season. For the holi- day season they wore the traditional Christmas outfits. For the basketball homecoming show, which was put on by Madrigal, and the Pops Concert, new out- fits were worn. These outfits were blue maxi skirts and white blouses for the girls and white pants with blue shirts for the boys. Another kind of music, the dance music of the 40's and popular hits of today, was performed by a newly-formed instrumen- tal group. This group, known as the Stage Band, was a unique blend of saxaphones, cornets, trombones, with piano, string accompaniment. These smaller groups gave students op- portunities to perform and show their talents in the field of music. Stage Band practices in preparation for wrestling meets. With a voice of singing ... Long hair music and dissonance were a part of the style gained by the concert choir this year. The 71 senior high students, under the direction of Mr. Bruce Phelps, began to prepare music for the three con- certs soon after try outs were held. This year's musicproved to be a real challenge because much of it was divided into eight sections instead of the usual four. Heldtwo consecutive n ights in December the Christmas concert featured a mass choir of 255 singing Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, and traditional carols of Christ- mas by the individual choirs. After Christmas vacation, students be- gan preparing for the Pops Concert held on February23. Versions of today's popular hits and songs by choir ensembles com- posed the program.

Rehearsal was held fifth hour, twice a week in prep- aration for the Christmas Concert. Christmas Concert, 1970, was dif- ferent from other Christmas Con- certs in that all choirs of Luverne High School performed. There was also a Mass Choir comprised of all these choirs. The concert was held 2 consecutive nights, December 12 and 13. Varsity choir then prepared them- selves for their second and final appearance which was the Spring Concert.

Even behind a new aerial offense, Lu- verne's gridders proved that football is a game of inches. In compiling a 2-7 re- cord and a sixth place Southwest Confer- ence standing, the Cardinals met with dis- appointing setbacks after initial success against rugged conference foes. Stinging from two non-conference defeats, Coach Menage'steam rose to topple Jack- son and Slayton in successive games . Then despite the conference's finest pass attack, the Cards fell victim to a jinx which left them with four successive close setbacks. Led by captains BenVander Kooiand Dave Noll and all-conference selections Mike Ahrendt and Mark Hendricks, Luverne was in almost every game till the final gun; they seldom came away with a victory in what was indeed their year of frustration.

Co-captains Ardean Lorenzen, a returning District champ, and Kevin Petersen, a returning Con- ference champ, work with Coach Serie to produce a winning team that can only come after alot of practice and work. Luverne continued on in its season by being defeated by Worthington, third in State, but not without putting up a tough fight. Many of the matches were lost by just one or two points which displayed the hard work done at practice. Lincoln was the next foe. Again, matches were decided as close as one and two points. The first home meet proved that the grapplers were indeed improving even though they lost their meet to Canby.

In compiling a perfect 5-0 record, Lu- verne's freshmen gridders displayed a combination of skill and great competitive- ness. With constant guidance and support of Coaches Roberts and Hendricks, the team began to apply the fundamentals and basic football knowledge strived for in practice. Also, in coming back to win after being physically outmanned or behind they discovered and applied the untrainable quality of determination.

The grapplers are not always able to make the Bomber squad, but through this pro- gram, they can gain valuable wrestling experience for future years. Because not all schools have C squads, the grapplers don't have a large amount of record scores. And as all Freshman teams, success in future years is based on these young men. Freshman eagers continue the spirit of competition shown by varsity and bomber squads. By practicing with the Bombers, Coach Erickson strives to combine com- petitive experience with the developement of basic fundamental skills. Despite a schedule of thirteen gamesanda Freshman Conference Tournament of eight schools, the team must also battle a lack of parti- cipation and a loss of players to the Bom- ber squad. Yet at the time of writing, they have posted a 1-5 record.

Youth center provides new entertainment for eighth graders In seventh grade, they were dazed merely by being at the high school. They were ready to become part of the school not just an on-looker. Getting involved with school activities such as band, chorus, and a variety of sports, generated for them new enthus- iasm for school. Making more of their own decisions now, the eighth graders have the opportunity to choose some of their classes. The coun- selors assist them in their curriculum selection using various test results. It isn't all work and no play for the eighth graders either. They have parties at the Youth Center during the year, and, of course, the big Junior High Party in the spring. 116 Rowl: Linda Pike, Marie Lunginbill, Char- lotte Swenson, Nancy Navara, Mary Pat Walgrave, Valerie Helling, Cindy Gross, Gretchen Shelton.

Eighth grade on the go! 120 Eighth grade boys show their skills at one of their daily basketball practices. Seventh grade — a time fora beginning Belonging to the Big School, the seventhgrader's long faces express feelings of bewilderment, frustra- tion, tears, and the anticipation of recognition from the opposite sex. They are eager, willing and ready to learn. Their student life is more independent in high school and they now have an added responsibility in their various classes. Seventh graders can participate in band, chorus, Junior High FHA, and C squad sports. These are con- sidered to be character-building activities.
