The theme, There is a Season , was selected for this portrayal. The booK is arranged in chronological order starting with summer, going through each season and ending with a personalities section. In order tomake the year com- plete.we ask you to insert the spring supplement on the pages 79-90, as indicated. This 12-page supplement will be available when school re- sumes in September. We hope that this yearbook, Cardinal '73, will stay with you always as a reflection of your year and as a reminder of the events that have taken place.

When I can run free With only the wind Pushing me forward; When I can find a place Where there's space just for me And my life can be mine, When I can stand in the sun And laugh because it feels good To just be there and alive; When I can do instead of dream, When I can find my horizon; When I know who and what I am. Going Places, Seeing People, Making the frruj.Tb.w4 WEST As a matter of fact, Summer '72 wasn't . . . much like any of the past summers. Kids were on the go, wasting away very few moments of their three precious months of freedom. For some it was a time for going places; others a time to make the most of a summer at home — but there was movement. For everyone it was three months of liberty from books, teachers, and the seven - hour day. Oh, usual feelings of summer boredom were there occasionally, al- though seldom mention- ed. For the most part, it was a time to do things you wanted. Take a trip with friends , go to At- lanta, ride horse, walk; all to escape the mean- inglessness of standing still. v Most of Summer 72' f Top Left: With a smile as the cars pass by, Randy, Greg, and Terry test out hitchhiking as a means of travel.

Bottom Center: Getting a taste of the camping life Dawn, Becky, and Rochelle enjoy an excursion to Bemidji. 17 The Good O Summer Time Summer is . . . three months of freedom, going places and seeing people, hybemating in air conditioned houses, swimming out at Mounds, working from dawn to dusk, moments together with friends, a time for being alone, goofing around at the quarry, riding bikes down Main Street, a baseball game at the park, hanging around Brick's comer, the Rock County Fair, a romantic night at Darlene's Bend, stealing green apples, fishing in the Rock River, sitting out at A G W cuz you don't want to go home. Annual meetings and early morning band. tornado warnings, thunderstorms and blistering hot days, all night drive-in movies, a night at the theater. I • . .all these and more.

Part-time Jobs: Experience Pays Off? Top Row, Left to Right: Thoughts of a hard days work in the field completed, gives a guy a lot to smile about. Spend- ing hot summer days at the beach, Pete Eberlein makes the most of his lifeguard- ing duties. Hopping from car to car, Melinda Hendricks takes another order out at the Cardinal. Jim Hofseth finishes up another weekly dreaded job of mowing the lawn. Bottom Row, Left to Right: Football practice cuts summer short as players get in shape for the season. Hot Dog Night—a busy night for students to earn money while having fun. Most people think their job is the worst, but it isn't be- cause mine is. With my job you have to be up at the crack of dawn or at least early enough that you need an alarm clock. Not only that, but just to get a day off is like going through the Gestapo. Oh sure; it's money! By the time they take off all the taxes and everything, you hardly have anything to show for your work. And is it work! I earn every penny of that pay check. Then, of course, I have to sacrifice being with my friends and there is no time toeventalk on the phone. Having a job means you can not just take off for some- where whenever you feel like 2 it. Boy, it is great when my day off comes around. Funny thing though, when- ever I do have a day off, I never get the things done I planned on. And how proud I feel when that pay check comes. I can finally put something in my billfold in- stead of taking it out. Yes, I guess you could say it's not all that bad! It's money! .4i life’s circle has it’s beginning at childhood, so the circle of the year as we knew it began in the fall. It began as Nature was bringing things to an end; and as the leaves slowly fell, we hesitantly began the cycle of Life at LHS’’. Some of us were beginning the cycle for the first time - some for the last. Always with hesitation, with apprehension, did it begin. Seeking a bit of boldness from fall’s brilliance, we plunged into the spinning game. Time told us to enjoy . . . enjoy . . . for the painted glory of the season would not endure. Mary Jo Dahlquist First Day: Blind Man's Bluff Top left: Wondering what the year would bring was probably on George's mind as he entered the doors of LHS. Bottom left: A look of eagerness was on Valora Severtson's face, but it seems that Paul DeVries did not agree with her about their first day of high school. Right: There are many emotions on the first day of school. m3 The first day school was full of . . . . . . confusion- new classes and new hours. . . . apprehension- the seventh graders' prime feelings. . . . chattering- everyone's summer exper- ience comes to light. . . . retrospection- especially by the seniors of past years. . . . hope- hoping to get a certain teacher. . . . new faces- teachers and pupils alike. . . . beginnings- beginning high school, beginning a career, and for a senior, the beginning of the end. 24 Changing to the needs of the students was what the administration had in mind when they revised the entire curriculum. Each depart- ment has been diversified to better accommodate a student's requirements for his future existence. In some of the new classes collateral reading is need- ed. Seeing that, the English and Social Studies Depart- ments have begun to aid the student by setting up a re- source center. The re- source center has been the dreams of the teachers for a couple of years and with the approval of the admin- istration has finally become a reality. There is only a small quantity of resources available now, but it is a beginning. The world around us is constantly changing and the administration realized this and being open to new ideas decided to take the giant leap for mankind. The transformation has re- ceived unanimous approval by teachers and pupils a- like. When asked of what they thought of semester courses these were the re- plies : Gene Block— It's great, it gives you a variety of teachers and students! Deb Tofteland— I think it's a good deal, because we can have our choice of classes from a variety of subjects. Mr. Larry Nelson— I'm in favor of them, because they give our course sys- tem flexibility. You can drop a course that isn't selling and you are closer in student demands. Burdette DePauw— I think they're really great. You learn more in one year than all the other years of high school. Deb Rinkel— I think the change will do us good. A Complete New Look As the title states, there is a com- plete new look in the college prepar- atory curriculum. In addition oo hav- ing more specified areas from which to pick, the classes are only a sem- ester in length. Therefore, you are able to take two classes instead of one. The Social Studies electives have been diversified to reflect the stu- dent's needs. The areas of Ancient Greece and Rome, World Biography, Economics, World Area Studies, Civil War to Great Depression, Great Depression to the Present, Europe 1789-1900, Europe 1900-Present, Soc- iology, Comparative Governments, Contemporary Problems, Psychol- ogy, can now be studied more in de- tail. In place of the former graded Eng- lish class, there is a wide range of electives to select from. There are preparatory classes for the vocation- al or college-bound students or for both. Reading and Criticism, Thea- ter and Screen, Minority Literature, American Novel, Speech land II, Practical English, Directed Reading, Vocational Grammar, Advanced Grammar, Reference and Research, and Creative Writing are the choices. The Foreign Language, Science, and Math curriculums are still the same full-year course as in previous years.

Bottom right: DebRinkel is demonstrating how to create anold man with make-up using Mark Hendricks as her victim in Speech class. Did you learn anything today? Last, but certainly not least is the other aspect of our curriculum at LHS—the Voc- cational Department. Also keeping with the times, the vocational curriculum has been subdivided into semes- ter courses for the benefit of the students. The Business courses in- clude Basic Business, Typ- ing I, II, and III, Sales and Marketing, Shorthand I and II, Bookkeeping, Business Law, Office Procedures, Office Machines I and II, Business Math, and Distri- butive Education. Home Economics has six classes to choose from. These classes are Creative Living Spaces, Family Liv- ing, Child and Family, Con- sumer in the 21st Century, Consumer Clothing, and Con- sumer F oods. The Industrial Arts Depart- ment includes General Met- als, Architectural Drawing and Carpentry, Cabinet Mak- ing, and Graphic Arts I and H. Agriculture I, EL, HI, and IV, and Farm Mechanics are the selections in the agricul- tural area. The Art students have Art I, II, and IH to pick from. As one can see from the list, there is a wide variety Don't ever stop, or you'll get left. and varied selection to help the individual in his search for his abilities and interests. Another advantage of the greater selection of classes is that there possibly are all three grades represented in a class. This provides an op- portunity to associate with different students. The school has definitely taken a step in the right di- rection for better education. Now the studentwho was dis- interested in one aspect of education will not have to sit through it - he can select a class that fascinates him.

I also felt good to get dressed up for once. This statement was made by BETTY HITCH in regard to our 1972 Homecoming. Betty's is just one of the many different feelings that this year's King and Queen can- didates had. Here are the other candi- dates thoughts. I felt that even if I wouldn't get king, it was an honor to be nominated by my fellow students. ’ JIM BIERKAMP It was the greatest day of my life. Coronation was a bit scary, but exciting. BARB HENDRICKSON Being a king candidate added quite a bitmore excite- ment in this year's home- coming over last year's. It made me realize thatthis was our last year in school, and we better enjoy it. JEFF BOWEN I was surprised that after all these years of watching other people take part in Coronation, that I would also have the honor of taking a part in it. MARY MERRILL I had a feeling of both honor and pride of being selected as a candidate for Home- coming. MARK HENDRICKS It was pretty exciting for the candidates, butevenmore so for the King and Queen them- selves.

It was really exciting, and I was really nervous being in front of everyone. KING DONNIE MARAS I thought that Homecoming was really an exciting exper- ience, and I felt lucky and honored to be chosen as part of it. QUEEN CINDY CHRISTIANSON In the minds of these peo- ple, our 1972 Homecoming will be something that they will always remember. 31 THE BRIGHTER SIDE TO A LONG AWAITED HOMECOMING As the crowd held its breath, the King and Queen, Donnie Maras and Cindy Christianson were crowned to represent ■L. H.S. as the 1972 King and Queen. It was a very happy night for these two, and also for many others because of the fun-filled, action-packed floorshow that followed. The next day the traditional parade was held following a very spirited pep fest. The highlight of this year's Homecoming would naturally be the big game with Marshall which we won by the score of 14-0, concluding a very successful 1972 Homecoming weekend.

Marching Band Returns from Atlanta for Successful Autumn Luverne's High School Marching Band received a second place fin- ish at the Parade of Champions held in Atlanta, Georgia last June. The Parade of Champions is held in conjunction with the National JC Convention. Upon returning home, the band collected some well-deserved rest and relaxation. But even before the new school year, the band was hard at work preparing for the fall marching season of football games, parades, and the Cardinal Revue. Mr. Ed Norris directed the band in his second year at Luverne. Ma- ry Bierkamp and Jane Goebel were the twirlers and Julie Vanden Hoek was the head majorette.

With Hildegarde Leading the Way, Juniors Disrupt the Family Tree We Shook the Family Tree was a comedy depicting a normal family situation which con- cerned teenagers and their parents. The plot of the play centered around Hildegarde, Who tried every way possible to get a date for prom. Her parents intervened and insisted that she go with Freddie, the laughing stock of the neighborhood. Comedy was dispersed through- out the play, and it then concluded with Freddie proudly escorting Hildegarde to the Prom.

Just another one of those dull, strictly regimented clubs, you probably think. Well, you're wrong! Spanish Club is so un-regimented that even their advisor. Miss Gudahl, doesn't know what's going on! After a rough day at school, a club meeting should be fun— and that's what Spanish Club is all about. Some of Spanish Clubs activities are: selling candy to pay for their yearly trip to the El Matador, and organizing and putting on the Homecoming floor show. One of the highlights of this year's club wasplaying sardines at Miss Gudahl's house— complete with a pinata and plenty of food and games. Come and join them sometime, they welcome new members.

Members of MCC have the opportunity to assist the school nurse and be a candy striper at the Mary Jane Brown Home. Visiting various schools and hospitals in the area offers further exploration of the Medical Field. Places such as Augustana, Willmar, and Omaha are being considered as possible places to visit. During their monthly meetings various speakers are present. Two of these speakers were Ellen Arends and Mary Jo Reisch. Ellen and Mary Jo talked about Inhalation Therapy.

FFA - A Community Service Many people believe that FFA deals with farming exclusively —it does not. FFA is an organization which includes all persons in related business. In FFA many things are done to help the community and state. One of these is fund raising for the handicapped. Money received from the corn drive and from the sale of the corn is do - nated to places which help the handicap- ped. Such places as the Day Activity Center and Camp Courage are two of the places which will receive funds this year. Above: Tom and Tim release pheasants for the FFA.

Working together for a goal was the main objective of this year's Junior High Student Council. Organizing parties and student get-togethers was part of the agenda for each meeting. Freshman class officers were also Council heads in- cluding; TimScheidt— presi- dent, Pam Visker-secretary, Mary Jo Dahlberg-treasurer, and Paul Estens on — vice- president. Other members of the Council include; six freshmen voted in by their class as representatives, the Eighth grade class officers and the Seventh grade class officers.

Every two weeks the members of the Senior High Student Council met to work on, plan and help LHS be an improved school in which to learn and live. A chance to speak out is granted to every student of the school body by existence of this council. Representation of all clubs, groups and organizations gives everyone the ability to change what they feel is wrong. A convention at Amboy— Good Thunder High School in October gave five members a chance to hear how other councils in the state operate and gave them new insight into new organizations which our students could become involved. Not always remaining somber and serious, the meet- ings often were given a touch of the ridiculous. Student Council minutes handled in a more casual manner; end- ing with Time ran out again, the constant change of rooms in which we met—confusion and the missing of the gavel for Tomto.begin the meetings. Members often spoke out on touchy subjects, ones well worth the Coun- cil's consideration. Mr. Rath's attendance of many meetings made the administration's view readily avail- able, yet often not agreeing! The 1972— 1973 Senior High Council of LHS was not just one that took time for where to hang AFS pictures or display the newest trophies, but.also one that gave consideration to subjects that could radically change a Luverne trend ortradition.

Communication With Nature Is Main Asset of Cross Country Team After a year layoff, Cross Country was again started in Luverne. This year, as in past years the spirit was here but not the numbers to create a successful team. The Harriers were excellan- tly coached by Mr. Svingen and led by their three senior stalwerts MarkHagberg, A1 Tuff, and Jim Hoh. The runners participated in many invitat- ionals and meets in area towns building up to their Conference and District finale. The Cardinals were paced by senior transfer student, MarkHagberg. Hagberg led the runners with many high finishes in the meets during the season. Mark climaxed the Cross Country season by finishing seventh in the Conference meet. The end of the season meant the loss of the three seniors, but also a very bright future for Cross Country in Luverne.

A Big Tough Defense With a Spirited Offense Gives Cardinals an Undefeated Season and Southwest Crown This year's football team,under the watchful eyes of Mr. Menage and Mr. Carroll, started the season on August 14 with three main goals. Number 1, bring winning football back to Luv- erne. Number 2, win back the Battle Axe and Number 3, win the Southwest Conference Crown. To go against the hopes of the Cardi- nals,the conference coaches picked Luverne to finishatthe bottom of the Conference standings. Toopentheseason.theCardinals defeated two non-conference foes.Canby and Brookings by showing a tough, stingy defense along with their explosive Wishbone T offense. Withthe start of league play,our experienced gridders went against the coaches predictions by beating Worthington, Marshall, Redwood Falls and Windom. The Marshall game proved to be the perfect climax to the 72 Homecoming. After the first six games,Coach Menage and his boys feltthey successfully achieved Number 1. Next came Pipestone and goal Number 2, which the Cardinals won by the score of 28 to 13. This big victory meant the return of the Battle Axe to rest in the Luverne trophy case for the upcoming year.

In the nextgame.the Cardinals defeated Slayton 20 to 0 to win its first Conference crown in quite a few years with a perfect 9 and 0 reo- ord. Next came the State playoffs where the Cardinals were eliminated by Sauk Centre. With the loss to Sauk Centre,the Cardina’ls ended a very successful season and in their own minds and everybody elses achieved all their goals and proved they were the real South- west Conference Champions. 44 Bomber Football—the Last Step Before Varsity Scores 0 2 Marshal 12 0 Jackson Luverne 14 0 Worthington 6 8 Pipestone 26 6 Windom 12 0 Brookings Fullback Paul Odland bulldozes over a Pipestone linebaker for an extra yard.

Travel Through The Midwest: Winter looking back on it} I guess the only things out here the same all year round are the cows, having been here summer and winter I know, they moan their songs just as mournfully and twitch their tails just as slowly in the cold as they do in summer’s drying heat, everything else is different you don’t want to climb the fences the corn’s gone out of the fields and the ground looks like oatmeal when someones poured just a little milk on it and even the chew nail pouch tobacco bams are different color. There are no barefoot sunbronzedgirls and the trees no longer have a shade to sit in. Ecclesiastes says that for.everything there is a season. This is the season for staying inside. — Ron Meador Hardworkwent Into the dec- orations, and provided a re- laxing and beautiful atmo- sphere for the dance. One highlight of the night that the girls looked forward to was receiving roses. The first formal Snoball at LHS proved to be a success, whether you spent the night just talking, eating, or dancing. Snoball: Highlight of Winter Activities As a matter of fact, Snoball '72 wasn't— much like any of the previous Snoball dances. More people attended, and everyone had fun dancing to the music provided by Outer Limits. “Sometimes you feel like a three pound hen trying to lay a four pound egg.’ —Spiro T.

PEP CLUB Echo is the school news- paper, published monthly by the students of LHS. The process begins with the assignment of stories to the Echo reporters. They, in turn, deliver it to Mr. Gits or one of the six junior or senior editors. From them, the stories go to the typists. In the meantime, the busi- ness manager is collecting ads for the newspaper. The paper is then laid out and de- livered to the Luverne An- nouncer for publication. Then, the circulation editor distributes the Echo to the students. It is a long, drawn out pro- cess, but the end result is always good and usually very interesting. • ldent; Mary savage, secre- SPANISH CLUB U y; Barb Johnson, treasur- ..... . i 01 i . i , pr apARitaf.arJfp hi fit - ria.n_ Junior editors Jill Helling, Kathy Swenson, and Jono Bot.

The five-year- old club has broadened its scopes to include individuals other than prospective teachers. FTA is now called SAFE, or Student Action for Education. The club has a two-fold purpose now. The first purpose being to pro- vide means for students to improve education in their schools. The student - teacher rap ses sion was one means used. The rap ses- sions were introduced so the students and teachers could become better acquainted as human beings on the same level. The second purpose is to provide students the experience and the informa- tion about careers in educa- tion. The second purpose is achieved by helping a teacher one hour a week.At the end of the year the stu- dents will have an opportu- nity to teach.

We all know the joy and happiness that comes from lis- tening to a choir concert. But do we all know the work and dedication that goes on behind the scenes? Varsity Choir, this year under the direction of Mr. Rob- ert Van Maasdam, began their hectic schedule with early morning rehearsals to prepare for the Choral Festival at Worthington. After a rewarding day there, they then began preparations for the annual Christmas Concert, held again this year with all the choirs contributing their selections. With the passing of the seasons,the time again drew near jfor the annual Pops Concert. This year's theme was I Believe In Music. Spring brought us thoughts of young love and daisies, but for the Concert Choir it was work and more work as they diligently prepared for contest and the Spring Concert ending out a busy year filled with long hours of hard work and rewarded with many memories and much experience.

After all the preparations have been made, and the band has performed in the way in which we have be- come accustomed, somehow it seems that it has all been worth it. The sacrifice and hard work seem small com- pared to the rewards re- ceived. Over the last few years , the Luverne bands have earned a reputation for ex- cellence. During those years, there have been many hardships, but there has also been many fun times. And the band is better for those individuals who have persevered through both the good and bad times. 65 The senior class is providing manpower to run the conces- sions stand this year.

Activities that were available to girls this year were volleyball, basketball, gymnas- tics, bowling, track, and archery. Some interesting activities for the girls were extramural volleyball, basketball, and gymnastic meets held with other towns. GAA gives girls a chance to get together and have fun, and the girls can see in them- selves their self-accomplishment. Upper Left: Linda McClure and Joan Meyer show some of the hits in volleyball.

Intramurals Keep Amateur Jocks Busy Intramurals at Luverne provide a chance for those who aren't out for a winter sport to keep in shape or maybe just to have fun and display their abili- ties. Mr. Menage serves as intramural ad- visor. No fouling is allowed and, of course, no slaughter of the English language. Basketball is the main part of the intramural program, and the guys can also participate in weightlifting and vol- leyball. The Intramural All-Star — Faculty Championship Game is prob- ably the highlight of the intramural sea- son. The faculty has won the last few years, but with the excellent calibur of athletes that the intramural program turns out, their string won't last long. Right: Jim Hoh and Bob Matus.

WRESTLING: it s tuff As I was sitting in the annual room one afternoon, Coach K eck.on his way to the teacher' s lounge, stopped in for a quick chat. Taking advantage of the situation, I figured this was my chance to get the inside details of wrestling straight from the coach. To my surprise, he seemed eager to talk and soon we'd struck up a conversation. After coaching for seven years, Mr. Keck really knows his stuff. His words seemed to come right out of a book. He began by telling me a little bit about the work involved with wrestling night after night. As a wrestler you can expect to spend a lot of time and hard work at drilling those things which come natural to some and unnatural to most — such as taking down an opponent and various moves like get aways and reversals. You have to be able to do a few moves well so you will be able to control your opponent— not he you. In wrestling the season points to the tournaments. Because it's an individual sport, we want to be at our best when that time rolls around. So far we've had all tough competition—more than our ability, as a young team is capable of. Our improvement can only be measured by the out- come in the tourneys. Wrappingupthe conversation, as the bell was about to ring, I curiously asked him what gave him the desire to take on such a difficult job, that of being a coach. Mr. Keck pondered a second and then replied, I wanted to be able to do what a number of coaches did for me! Above: Jim Clark leading the way. Below: Donn Sandbulte after a grueling match.

Above Right: Brian Mann applies pressure. When a wrestler is on the mat,he is alone. Only he can determine whether he is to win or lose. All of the skill and knowledge he has obtained must be applied—automat- ically. His mind is working con- stantly. Just one slip-up and he could be pinned. His goal is to win. 72 Wrestling is a trained version of what comes natural in your early age, and the B-squad coach trains these younger athletes in the art of wrestling. In his first year as coach of the B-squad, Mr. Aaberg brings with him his techniques, which he will teach to the younger wrestlers. Through these learned techniques the young wrestlers look toward a bright future. B-Squad-Wrestlers - It's Not the Triumph, but the Struggle.

The cheer- leaders displayed school spirit at its best in victory or defeat. As in past years they were very busy and ac- tive planning pepfests and trying to create an atmo- sphere of good school spirit. Again this year the varsity cheerleaders divided into two separate squads for Wrest- ling and Basketball. All ten of them cheered for the Foot- ball games and then divided into their separate squads for the winter sports. Three senior girls, Robin Bot, Cindy Christianson, and Julie Arends finished their last year of cheering for Lu- verne athletic events. This year's B-squadwas made up of six sophomore girls that tryout and practice along with the A-squad. Behind every good cheerleading squad there has to be a good advisor and again this year Mis-s Croes did a real fine job.

The Cards were a Junior dominated team, consisting of 5 Seniors and 9 Juniors. After an opening season win over the Mankato Scarlets, (46-44)the hopes for a Con- ference Crown coming to Luverne seemed to be slip- ping through their fingers after losing their first four Conference games. Going intothe Holiday Tournament, the Cards determination to win games were fulfilled. The team came out victori- ous and looked for more vic- tories as they went through the season and into District play. In his first year as head coach, Mr. Carroll did not come into the job inexperi- enced. Mr. Carroll has been coaching for 13 years and also has the assistance of Coach Franz's smoothened skills. Coach Carroll is a firm believer in team play and tough defense.

Posting an opening sea- son victory over the Mankato Scarlets, the Bombers have gone onto a 7-4 record as of February 1, with 9 scheduled games left. Returning to the B-squad coaching position, CoachDave Petersonbelieves in a patterned offense and as aggressive defense. Participating in the Fairmont Holiday Tournament, the squad brought back with them second place. Luverne will host this Tourney in '73.

Pep Club members can always be recog- nized by the sweatshirts they wear every time there is a game, and the cheering taking place at the sporting events throughout the year. 91 Insert Supplement here My most embarrassing mo- ment was when I was running to the lunch room in 7th grade and I ran into the girls' lock - er room. (Mike Sammons) I like the new semester classes because they give you a chance to be with more peo- ple and get away from a teacher you may not car e for . (Karen Briggs) An incident that stands out in my mind was when I movedhere. The kids accepted me the first day. (Jo DeBoer) Myfavor- ite meal in the cafeteria is tuna hot dish and hard red jello with hunks of so called fruit ! (Barb Henrickson) If I could relive my 7th grade I would never have gone to Mr. Roberts' class. He scares a person half to death ! (LeeAnn Westerbur) Like e- veryone else, I'm a little bit scared to graduate. It'll be good to be independent. (Robin Bot) It's a scary feeling knowing you're go- ing to be on your own, but its great to know that it's fi- nally all worthwhile. (Deb Bruynes) Impressive to an outsider, I think would be the sports enthusiasm of L. H. S . and the good condition of our school. (Peg Hoiland) Sports, Academics Social Activities Looking back on the first day of school, I remember sitting there and suddenly realizing I was a senior. After looking forward to this year for such a longtime, it seemed impossible now that we were actually at the top. So began Our Year. The year began like most other years. First there was Football Homecoming and all of its excitement—it was our last. Next on the agenda came the basketball season and with it Snoball. In between the big events came various new events and privileges unique only to a Senior Class — Senior pictures, planning graduation, and lunch five minutes early. Feeling the nearness of the end, you begin the tedious job of deciding your future. Should you choose college, technical school? Maybe you would rather start right out in the world of busi- ness. You eventually make the final decision. Now as I sit here, with graduation just a matter of weeks away, I can't help but feel those senior anxieties and skepticisms. A twinge of sadness comes over me—the book of high school days is about to be closed and a new one begun. Above: Adding pizzaz to the Homecoming floor- show,Pam does an impression of Howard Cossell.

Being a Senior - Is It a Reality Or an Illusion? How do I feel about being the oldest in the school? No one really looks up to seniors — so its about the same as every year — except you know there won't be a next year. (Debbie Moliter) Idon't feel we 're that old or grownup, like seniors are supposed to be! (Susan Den Herder) Itdoesn't seem that I could possibly be one of those huge people that I can remember watching in the seventh grade.

What else, I came to the II. S. and especially to Luv- erne in the State of the 10, 000 lakes. It took about one day of travel to come here and it was quite interesting flying above the clouds for 12 hours. My fam- ily, Mr. and Mrs. Al Bot and my sister, Robin picked me up at the Minneapolis airport. By that time I was so scared that I almost forgot all the English I knew and the only thing I could remem- ber was yes! Anyway, by now, some months later, I dare say that I can remember many more things, I saw many different people and I met a whole bunch of kids. As a matter of fact, I adjusted quite well in the short time of one or two weeks. Of course, my family and my new friends helped me.to do that in many ways. Fortunately, the place, the kids and my friends are exactly the way I expected them to be and I am completely satisfied with my life in Luverne. It is a great experience living over here and meeting new friends, getting acquainted with them and sharing your joy, your problems , and following the A. F. S. saying, Walk Together, Talk Together.

For the next couple of weeks we'll have to push magazine sales if we're going to make our goal of $5000. Last week was Homecoming and that was suppose to be a fund raiser for the juniors, but we lost more than we made. Mrs. Spease wasn't too happy. She really got excited in German class. She said we were the worst Jr. class she's ever seen. Maybe we can do better on our magazines. Tomorrow we have to take those stu - pid Stanford Achievement tests. I'm not looking forward to that. Mr. Nelson came and yelled at us today during a break in our tests. He said we weren't selling enough magazines and if we don't sell more, we won't get to have a Prom. Boy,he was upset. We were called out of class today to pick class rings. Wow, they're expen- sive this year. Oh by the way, we did finally get done seLling magazines. We sold about $4900 which is better than only $2000 like we had. Surging Forward to Tomorrow. Hey, they've got try-outs for class play this week. It sounds like alot of fun to be in a class play. I think I'll try out. Gee, they never stop pushing things off on us to sell. Today we get the tickets we're suppose to sell for class play People are really going to get upset with us, trying to get them to buy things all the time. Boy, our Junior year is almost over. All we have left now is sponsoring prorrv the biggest event. Being a Junior sure is great but being a Senior and looking forward to graduation is even better. It's a dream come true.

Winter Woodley 112 Has anyone ever wondered what being a sophomore is like? Of course the juniors and seniors know, but do you Ninth Graders ever wonder? If you were to ask the sopho- mores this year, as we did through a questionnaire, you might have some of these answers returned: Looking at the Seventh Grade and wondering if we acted that way. Being apart of the Senior High and their activities. Being the kids who get nailed on the practice field in football. Being a guinea p.g. Being treated like a computer. Relaxing in Mr. Brom- ley's class. Time Consuming. Getting my license and watching my mom sweat. Being last in the lunch line again. Embarrassing. Not a heck, of alot differ- ent than any other year. Now that you have all the informationfirst hand-upper- classmen, do you remember back, and lower-classmen, do you look forward to being a sophomore? To sum it up, one person commented, It's between freshman and a junior. Top: Brad finds time out of his sophomore schedule to play basketball.

Stuck half-way between is not al- ways the most secure and desirable place to stand. Finding out who U is can be a time when questions keep popping up and an- swers seem cloudy. Re- search ona chosen occuoa- tion can help freshmen when forced with the decision of choosing their courses for their next three years of high school. Freshmen this year are in one way lucky; they're starting out just when the newly established semester course system is beginning and are able to take advantage of this much improved way of class se- lection. Extra-curricular activi- ties, become more numer- ous and often the 8:30-3:15 school day is not always ended at the last bell. Dating and attendance of the scheduled school dances increased this year and of- ten parents became just a little more lenient in cur- fews. Campaigns, speeches, and posters plastering the Freshmen wing helped to sway the votes of class members as the elections of class officers grew nearer. Final tabulations showed Tim Scheidt as president, Pam Visker as secretary, Mary Jo Dahlberg as trea- surer, and Paul Estenson as vice-president. This year in high school is for most a tough one to get through, since it's ask- ing a person to switch their role of child to young adult. 1. Pam Visker. 2. Tim Schcidt and Rick Olson. 3.

Browci Eighth Grade: A Time for Everything Under the Sun Eighth graders begin to re- alize that they can take a more active part in the events that happen at LHS. Next year they can be the head of the Junior High and give their points on how they think the school in their eyes should be run. To me Eighth Grade is: ... v hen you never have to say you have a lot of home- work— V'ayne Reu. ...being superior over Seventh Graders and just a little brat to Ninth and o'der Pam Oye. . . . the grade where you don't get pushed around as Seventh graders —Curt Gacke. ... a very excitingexperi - ence—Kathy Sehr. . . . being older than a Sev- enth Grader but not a Fresh- man yet — Lynette Jauert. ...knowing you're not a Seventh Grader any more— Pam Gonnerman. . . . knowing you still have four more years to go—Mary Keitel. ...when you have fun and I earn a lot of things—Stan'ey Van Wettering. ... a grade closer to being a senior—Greg McClure.

Imagine yourself a seventh grader in a new school and after a week of school being asked, what were your first impressions or preconceived ideas of seventh grade? I knew I wouldn't make it through the first day without getting lost. I was wrong— I got lost the second day. (Jeannee Emery) When I saw all those teachers I knew I was never going to mess around in those halls. (Laura Swenson) I felt like EVERYBODY was staring right at me. (Lanette Smith) I thought it would be crummy and the rottenness place I've been. It was too! (Richard Moerke) Oh, good this is nice, you don't have to do hardly any- thing. (Don Vrtacnik) Boy it's BIG, ami going to make it? (Missy Birkeland) That kids around the school would be mean and beat you up. (Jody Mulvihill) Will any of the teachers bang you against the lock- ers? (Nancy Preston) I felt lost, felt like a punk. (Greg Haraldson) It's a blast! (Debby Wick) _More quotes on page 133.

High School a New Way of Life All of a sudden instead of being con- sidered Big Shots you are now con- sidered as Little Twerps. Why ? Because you were once looked up at and now you are looked down at. Seventh grade is a hard and trying experience. You have to be careful or you will get knocked silly by the older kids. Some of the things which are different from grade school are; you can talk be- tween classes, you are not stuck with one teacher all day, and no moremilk breaks. Such is the life of a Seventh grader.

They were very obliging to take the time out of their busy schedule and have their pic- ture taken. But then, maybe that's the way they are—willing to listen and help a student.

My first concern is the quality of education we can give to our young people. I feel that the decisions I make are best educationally for our school, but also economically best for our commu- nity. I would like to see more contact between the School Board and the com- munity. This would give us more feed- back, as to what the community would expect from the School Board. Keith Connell A School Board is as good as the school system. Therefore, believing that we have one of the finest systems, we accom- plish 95% of what we should. I have very few second thoughts, because every decision I make that effects the entire community also affects me personally as a member of the commu- nity. Ernest Hamann Continued column 2 I am very much interested in the youth and feel that this is my way of serving the community. I feel that when I make adecision,I have all the people in the school district in mind and give them the best for their tax dollars. I feel we have given the community a very good school. The work nobody will ever see Dr. Donald Odland I am proud of some of our accomplish- ments as a School Board, but also feel that there are still many things that we should do to improve our school system. Our youth are very important to the future of this community so we should plan to constantly re-evaluate our education so that it is rele- vant. I feel that the School Board represents a cross-section of people in this area, and,as such,discusses many problems concerning the operation of the school district. I felt by becoming a School Board member I could contribute more to the school and community. William DeBates In a free society such as ours, I believe that anyone interested in their local gov- ernment should become involved, and be willing to serve on local boards, village and town councils, etc. Someone has to serve on these local units of government and make these decisions. It is the duty of all interested persons to serve in areas wjiere they feelcapable. With a 10 year education background, I feel this is why my interest is in the edu- cation of our young people. John Petersen I am on the School Board because I feel everyone should share in the respon- sibilities of the community. Knowing that I help make decisions that affects the lives of our young men and women and all of our community, makes me feel very conscientious and that I have to do the very best I can. I don’t suppose a School Board ever accomplishes everything that it should, but I think a Board should be sincere. I think we have that kind of a Board. Elmer Piepgras I was given an opportunity to serve through an appointment to the Board. Ever since then I have felt the challenge of trying to help the young people of today to meet the requirements of tomorrow. I do not think that I have ever felt as though, I made a decision that affected the entire community! I have always felt as though the decisions were what the community wanted. There have been a few times when, 'what I wanted, 1 was not wanted by the community. Garland Anderson South Dakota State BS 0 Let's take out these farm reports.

Connie Nash Margaret Winter Sharon Oldre Home Life of a Nurse When asked, what is the home life of a nurse like, Sue Tollefson replied, The same as any other mother's life. Surpr Lsed? You shouldn't be! Student health is a main concern of Mrs. Tollefson. She checks height, weight, eyes, and ears of each student. Students which have been absent from school the previous day and want to be admitted back into classes must go to the school nurse. Mrs. Tollefson is also the advisor for Med- ical Careers Club. Noontime and the Race Is On to the Lunchroom. . . Gripe, Gripe, Gripe, and more Gripe! This is all you hear from the stu- dents of LHS. Griping about what? The food. During the school week, sooner or later, you will hear someone complaining about the food that they receive in the caf- eteria. But, you had better look out, when 11:58 rolls around or you might get tram- pled to death by the students running to the lunch line. What for? They complain about the food, yet they run so they can fill their little tummies. Many students believe that the cooks are to blame for the food; however, they are not. The Federal School Program supplies all the schools with the food for their noon- time meal. If the school refused part of the supplies, they might be cut off completely.
