As co-editors of the 1973-74 Annual we would like to take this opportunity to thank you the students of L. H.

When right and wrong have challenged good and bad, or ideas, slain by tradition will never grow, The pretend hate destroys what love has labored long to build, and peace is thought but only thought. Can chaos stem from deep within? When the difference tween black and white be only gray. 13 With a Good Feeling of Togetherness. . . Annual Staff Pushes on Annual staff this year is a combination of many things: fun, frustation, mass con- fusion, Monday night meet- ings, the buzz of an old radio, LHS's biggest pop consumers, the school's second cafeteria, hours and hours of working during study halls, losing your temper because the Annual door is always locked when you want to get in. Annual is also determination, desire, never ending work, and above all success. The staff is made up of two Senior and Junior editors, thirteen Senior section edi- tors, five photographers and three head advisors all doing their part and working toget- her to give you a book of mem- ories for the 1973-74 school year at LHS. There were many early deadlines that had to be met, butthe will of the staff pushed on. The staff attended a work- shop at Worthington this fall where they were shown vari- ous ideas on layouts, photo- graphy and other various information which is needed to produce as fine a yearbook as in years before. a - 1.

Stories are written by the students themselves. Regular articles consist of Jono Bot reporting the latest sports events. The Teacher Feature acquaints the stu- dents and the teachers while The Personality Parade describes the lives of the seniors. Current news sto- ries and club news are also found in The Echo. Preparations for the publi- cation consist of students writing the stories and turn- ing them into the editors. Next the typists go to work typing up all the stories. Mr. Gits (The Echo advisor) then lays out the format of the paper and sends this copy to the Luverne Announcer for the final printing. Students and Faculty receive the Echo every three weeks.

Monthly meetings are held in which they have a guest speaker and plan vari- ous activities.

Spanish Club meets once a month to plan money raising projects and various activities. Eachyear they attempt to raise enough money to send a member(s) to Mexico. Probably the most well known of their activities is the planning and running of the Homecoming floor show. During the Christmas season they also go caroling to add to their activities. A special party is given at the end of theyearin which the students have a chance to use the Span- ish language and customs. (Clockwise) Spanish Club advisor , Miss Gudahl.

It provides the best type of education as far as salesmanship goes, that being on-the-job training. Juniors in this program take the Sales and Mar- keting I class and attend a full day of school. The seniors attend school half a day and work at their respective jobs the second half. There is also an opportunity for competition in various catagories at community involvement at the State Convention. Officers at left: Marlin Melzer, Dean Luethje, Arlen Hansen, Kathy Ossenfart and Peggy Mulligan. 23 Jr. High Council- An Experience in Leadership Upper Left: Newly installed water cooler is well appreciated by both Junior and Senior High Students.

Representing the students is the main objective of the Senior High Council this year. Serious and thoughtful attention to the requests and questions of the student body are care- fully considered. Some of the issues are original and some are repeated requests but all are considered and looked into by the council. Among some of the issues discussed this year are seniors out of study halls, a vending machine in the study hall, final tests, an outdoor graduation, and athletic tickets. These and many others have kept the council very busy and only time will tell whether some or all of the goals will be accomplished. 25 Developing New Ideas of the World Future Farmers of America is a national organization of high school boys who are interested in the field of agriculture and related fields. Under the direction of Mr. Jim Ouverson, the boys raise crops, test soil, judge live- stock, and operate the concession stand at home football games.

Memorable for the seniors as their last Homecoming and for the Homecoming royalty. Anticipa- ted by all for the excitement and climax of the game on Friday night. Historical for it was like no Homecoming before. The week started on Tuesday night when sophomore-senior girls held a Powderpuff football game. Thursday night was the awaited coronation and was highlighted by the crowning of Queen Chris Thorson and King Tom Burns. After coronation,an amus- ing and original floor show was held, spon- soredby Spanish Club. Here various talents throughout the senior high were presented. Friday a pepfest was held to show the team that the student body was behind them all the way. The week's activities were climaxed by a Cardinal victory over Redwood Falls 16-7.

The band received an A rating at Tri-State onstreet and field competition. Foot- ball fans also cheered the band on during half-time shows. Luverne Colorguard Interested in art? Then join Art Club. It's fun and it's exciting. Art Club’s main goal this year is to just have fun. Besides having fun. Art Club wants to raise enough money to take a field trip in the spring. They raised money by selling cards one week during the fall. They are planning to use the money to visit art museums and have dinner in St. Paul or Omaha.

The old tradition for any Luverne Concert Choir is perfection, and last year's choir lived up to this custom in every way. Under the direction of Mr. Bruce Phelps, the Concert Choir worked to achieve a variety of sounds. Music ranging from popular to classical was tried and perfected. The choir traveled to Marshall for the fall Choir Festival to begin their year and per- formed at the Christmas Concert, a program similar to a church service. The highlight of the year was a tripto Concordia Col- lege in Moorhead, Minne- sota, for High School Choir days. Events through the year were held in anticipation of this trip. Another high- light of the year was the Pops Concert which was very unique this year. The choir sang the popular songs ok seven decades with skits used to add variety. Every Song You Sing is a Portrait of Yourself. 34 “A” Choir 1: Pop Singers left to right: Merle Sav- age, Keith Cook, Dawn Kindt, Kirk Authier, Kathy Reu, Kathy Peterson, Bill Weber, Julie Vanden Hoek, Rick Olson, Mary Bierkamp, Tom Sargent, Debbie Odland, Martha Schmidt, Mark Herman, Dave Clausen. 2: Mr. Phelps. 3: Sophomore Triple Trio: Row One: Stephanie Olsen, Dawn Kindt.

Useful way to relax tense anxieties or to create exciting impulses. Serious, light-hearted, rhythmic art appealing to all types of people. Intricate combination of notes, verse, and emotion. Constructive use of human emotion harnessed to become expressive, pleasing, and artistic. It's a long climb to reach the Concert Choir level, and the beginning for nearly all choir members was the Ju- nior High and B Choir. The B Choir was involved in the Christmas Concert with the A Choir and Girl's Glee while the Junior High Music Department presented a Junior High Christmas Concert. Aside from that, the B Choir performed in the Pops and Spring Con- certs. The Seventh Grade chorus contained approximately 82 members and gave the youngest high-schooler a taste of the vocal music in years to come. Through the year, this chorus tried to introduce the beginning singer to many of the vari- ous music styles such as Singing Along the Way popular, classical and reli- gious music. The Eighth Grade Chorus, which con- tained about 45 members, shared the same teaching objectives. The main dif- ference was the degree of difficulty in the music these choruses sang. A fine music program needs the excellent beginnings of a good Junior High program. It is very evident by the fine groups produced this past year that Luverne's Concert Choir will be able to uphold their tradition for excellence in the years to come. Under the direction of Mr. Phelps and Mrs. Talbert, these young musicians have estab- lished a very solid foundation for future musical activities. The only way to multiply happiness, is to share it. Music is happiness. Share it through song. 37 Row One: left to right: JoLeah Twito, Lynn Brandenburg, Deb Krogmann, Barb Hartz, Judy Bakken, Kathy Pike, Lori Brandenburg, Betty Glaser, Debbie Buss, Bev Slieter, Barb Slieter, Debbie Schuur, Joan Jarchovv, Barb Frakes, Jill Wildung.

No school music program would be complete without the feminine touch of a Girl's Glee. Established three years ago, the organization has become involved in many music minded activities. These gals traveled to the Mar shall Music Festival and added their beauty to the annual Christmas, Pops, and Spring Concerts. The Girl's Glee was under the direction of Mrs. Don Talbert and deserves com- mendation for the fine music they have produced through the years. 38 And so I will say at the beginning that I am here not to quarrel or convince, but only to reason. . . and as a reasonable man do everything possible for us all to part friends here, too. DEB A TE Always a Good Argument Always a good argument and lots of deserved fun, debate provides an excellent opportunity for students to express their point of view, affirmative or negative. Each year, the state decides on a resolution and last year's resolution was as fol- lows: Be it resolved that the federal government should provide a program to employ all employable United States citizens living in poverty (in the U.S. ) Monday nights provided an excellent oppor- tunity for debaters to gather evidence to support their respective stands. Practice debates also gave these hard- working students valuable experience. The schedule last year involved debates at such places as Worthington, Brookings (SDSU), Mankato (East), Sioux Falls (Lincoln), Madison, Watertown, Man- kato (NFL), St. Peter (Gus- tavus Adolphus), Marshall, and Pipestone (Conference). Due to the energy crisis, many of the longer overnight trips were cancelled. Those events will probably be rescheduled next year. All events in Iowa were cancelled because of differing resolu- tions; these will probably be rescheduled next year. Under the expert direction of coachesSanden, Peterson, and Shapley, the debaters had a successful, educational year. Valuable experience was gained by the young squad and next year promises to be even more successful. .1: Topping off the Debate line-up are the Advisors.

In case you haven't, girls have added a femininei touch to the ranks. On nights of home basketball games, they're there to arrange cars in rows to prevent too much confusion. Inside there is still another squad. Concessions are well taken care of at basketball games and wrestling matches. Each person is willing to serve the spectator to make it more of a pleasure to them. Proceeds go to the organization who provides the manpower. mmmmm Top Left: Left to Right: Meg Brickson, Cindy Gross, Charlotte Swenson, Mary Buffington, Karla Gradert, Gloria Meyer.

SNOBALL Snoball, our semi-formal winter dance, seemed at one time as if it were going to be dropped. Only four people showed up at the organiza- tional meeting for Snoball. Even though little interest was shown by the students, a few people got things under- way. Flower and punch com- mittees were made and the band was secured. Margaret Merrill was in charge of flowers; Patti Wyffels had decorations; Julie Rodgers had the gift for the foreign exchange; Barb Frakes had punch; Bill Weber had clean- up; and Tom Burns had tickets. About one hundred couples showed up and danced to the music provided by the Apos- tles. Tom Burns, senior class president, presented a gift to Pat Lawongsa, our foreign exchange student. The old west at LHS: Desperate Ambrose TJie old west was brought back to LHS in Desperate Ambrose put on by the junior class. The comedy western centered around two innocent vaudeville actors from the East and how they were victims of mis- taken identity. With the good guys mixing it up with the bad guys, the play proved to be the comedy it was intended to be. Like all westerns, the bad guys were defeated and the good guys recognized as heroes. The class of M75n supported their play by earning $650 in ticket sales.

There is no one to decide me. But you’ve got to have friends, the feelings oh so strong. You’ve got to have friends, to make the day last long. I’ve got some friends but they’re all gone, someone came and took them away. And from the dusk till the dawn-here is where I’ll stay. Standing at the end of the road boys, waiting for my new friends to come. I don’t care if I’m hungry or cold, I’m gonna get me some of them. Cause you got to have friends. I had some friends oh but, they’re all gone, gone. Someone came and snatched them away. And from the dusk until the very dawn Ya know here is where I’m gonna stay.

Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away. Henry David Thoreau When all the laughter dies in sorrow And the tears have risen to a flood, When all the wars are found to cause in human Wisdom and in blood, Do you think they'll cry in sadness? Do you think the eye will blink? Do you think they'll curse the madness? Do you even think they'll think? When all the great galactic systems Sigh to a frozen halt in space. Do you think there'll be some remnant beauty of the human race? Do you think there'll be a vestige, or a sniffle, or a cosmic tear? Do you think a greater thinking thing will give a damn That mati was here? —Kendrew Lascelles Above left: Class officers Margaret, Bill, Julie andTom take time out from school for a little fun and relaxa- tion.

Pat finds herself at home with the Donald Spease family in Luverne. Pat likes her new town because it is very small and the peo- ple are friendly. She finds the Ameri- can customs and ways of life very dif- ferent from what she is used to in her native country, but Pat finds her new land an exciting challenge. Pat finds participation in student gov- ernment exciting. She enjoys attending the council meetings because this way she finds out what is going on in the school. Pat says the student involve- ment in student government is the greatest difference between her own school and Luverne. Pat summarizes her year at LHS as a GREAT experience, GREAT year — everything is GREAT ! ! 1. Pat gets books from her locker. 2.

Many changes are tak- ing place— boy-girl relations seem to be more important, and serious thinking is being done about the future. One of the changes in cur- riculum is the addition of driver’s training. Instead of taking it in the summer, it is worked into your schedule. Participating in extra-cur- ricular activities is the greatest ever. Remember when you tried out for chorus or band — all the time you worried about making it? Finally, the list is posted and you made first chair, or last, but what difference did it make? You made it! Then, look how hard you worked to become a bomber cheer- leader, or how hard you worked to be in varsity sports. Weren't you proud when your name was on that list? But maybe it wasn’t. You probably got frustrated , all that work for nothing. Then you realize, there's still more time. Being on Sr. High Student Council really made you feel important—you actually had a say in the actions of the Sr. High. You could also attend Sr. High dances and partici- pate in a wider variety of clubs. Didn't you feel great? You were being accepted by tne upper classman and you could make many more deci- sions on your own. You are becoming an adult. At last the day is here. You're picking out your class ring.

The Cards have continued their winning ways, post- ing an impressive 8 and 1 record. The return of many veterans from last year's conference winning team got Coach Menage's Cards off to a good start. Their main goal was to repeat as conference champions which they failed to accom- plish, but they did prove that they have become a strong contender in conference play. Canby and Brookings were the first two opponents the Cards met in the opening games. After knocking off these two non- conference foes, they were eager to start league play. Shutting out Marshall, their first confer- ence opponent, they were put against a tough Redwood Falls team. Redwood Falls proved to be a worthy opponent on Homecoming night. Luverne took a well deserved victory, with a strong half defeating Windom 26-12. Luverne was more than able to retain the Battle Axe with a resounding 33 to 16 victory over Pipestone. With the conference champi- onship at stake, the Cards faced defeat. losing 8-6 to a tough Jackson ball club. With conference championship hopes de- stroyed, the Cards came back with the same winning attitude they had displayed all year. Ending the season with a 46-6 win over Slayton and an exciting overtime victory over the Worthington Trojans. With the conclusion of the season, the players voted for all-conference selec- tions. Co-captains Shawn Dougherty and Brian Mann, along with Gary Boisen and Mark Navara were selected to the All- Conference team, while Perry Noll and Burdell Braa received honorable mention. Brian Mann was selected to the All-State offensive team along with ten other boys throughout the state.

Coached by Mr. Keck and Mr. Nelson, the sophomores practiced every night to achieve the perfectionneces - sary to be a winning football team. The sophomores were called upon many times to hold dummies in effort to sharpen up the varsities offense.

Running and defense was how the Cardinals won their first four games. They used the fast break at every opportunity to score, either easy jump shots or breakaway layups. The tight man- to-man defense of the A-squad held their opponents to under 60 points in the first five games. Scoring was led by senior captain Perry Noll, from the start of the season upto the holiday break, by frequently scoring twenty points or more. Most of the playing time was distributed between seniors Perry Noll, Gary Boisen, Tom Burns, Dave Hunt, and Shawn Dough- erty, while three juniors,Bill Schrank, Brad Beers, and Paul Odland saw a lot of action in reserve roles. The Big Red Machine sputtered somewhat before the Christmas vacation and they lost a heartbreaker to O'Gorman and were beaten badly by Marshall. The team was banned from practicing in the school gym for two weeks because of the energy crisis, but they kept in shape by running and shooting on their own. One of the main goals of the team was not to repeat as the favorite in District and then be upset. They were working hard as they looked forward to post-season tournaments. Basketball: A Tradition to Uphold Upper Right: Shawn goes high for a shot against Slayton. Above: The basketball team show their sportsmanship after a tough defeat. This year was trying for the Luverne B-squad bas- ketball team, as they posted a3-7 won-loss record. The record could have easily been 6-0 as the B-squad lost the 4 games by an average of 4 points. After the holiday layoff, the outlook for the remainder of the season looked much better. The team began to play together, instead of everyone for himself. Experience was the determining factor on the young squad. The team consisted of 8 sophomores and 5 fresh- man and many of the freshman are seeing action. Al- though they were nervous during the start of the year, they started adjusting to the pressure of the crowds and the team should show a steady improvement in the re- maining games. Coach Peterson emphasizes defense, which the young Cager'sare strong on. As the season goes along, it is hoped that their offense will progress as well as their defense. Kirk, Tim, and Tim start down the court on a fast break against O Gorman.

Going into his second year of coaching at Luverne, Coach Jim Keck is optimistic. JLuv- erne is returning thirteen let- ter men. The Luverne matmen are now standing at a 6-3 won loss dual record. The cards also have participated in two early invitationals, placing first at Flandreau and second in the tough Spencer, Iowa invita- tional. From the middle of Novem- ber to tournament times in February, wrestlers are con- stantly losing weight, run- ning, and lifting weights. All for the chance to participate in the state meet. But like all sports, one mistake and your done. Wrestling is unique in that its a team sport and an indi- vidual sport. Once that indi- vidual wrestler is on the mat he is alone, one mistake and your dead, no one to help with your mistake. But you can't say that its not a team sport, practice is made up of working out with each other, sweating together , and winning together. Coaches make up a great part of the team in any sport. Coach Keck and his fellow wrestling coaches are con- stantly improving them- selves as much as the wrest- lers. There going to clinics and reading new books trying to get that one thing that will make them and there wrest- lers into champions. 102 Back Row: Coach Keck, Jeff Benson, Greg Benson, Burdell Braa, Tom Schneekloth, Brian Mann, Terry Reisch, Gary Blattner, Coach Aaberg.

Ethanie Dejongh Schrhidt Anyone associated with Luverne High School pepfests in the past few years would have surely been surprised at the first pepfest of the 1973-74 football season. It was a demonstration of aroused stu- dents cheering in unison for once instead of letting some- one else cheer for them. The major reason for this sudden change is the cheer- leaders. The cheerleaders promoted school spirit and then when it came time to direct the pepfest, the cheerleaders per- formed their job with enthu- siasm. The pepfest was a com- plete success and could pave the way for more and better pepfests in the future. This is not the only job they perform. They also lead the crowd at football games, bas- ketball games, and many other sports activities. The cheer- leaders are doing a fine job but it would have been very hard without the help of Mrs. Bowron and Mrs. Hemme who have worked very hard assist- ing the squad. Cheerleaders contemplate upcoming cheerleader activities. BASEBALL Dave Peterson TENNIS Dave Svingen FOOTBALL asst. Terry Nelson Coaches: The Driving Force to Team Success Who is this man called coach? He is an indi- vidual who gets results whether he is the tough task-master or the soft-spoken, mild mannered good guy; results are the measure of his suc- cess. Success is not just winning championships, butincludes all the other facets of the game. It's gaining and maintaining the respect of his play- ers, his opponents and fans alike. While striv- ing to get the utmost performance from each of his team members, he never overlooks the im- portance of building loyalty, fair play, consider- ation for others, self-confidence, and other character strengths that will remain with him for life. Yes, winning is great, but there is more. If years after his playing days, the athlete remem- bers his coach as one of the most influential people in his school career, he is paying him the greatest tribute. The Cards have a history of having many such coaches. TRACK Keith Bromley WRESTLING asst. Roger Aaberg BASEBALL asst. . Joe Roberts GOLF BASKETBALL asst. Harry Franz WRESTLING James Keck 1.

Basketball, handball and weight lifting are the main activities participated in from December through Feb- ruary. Coach Elmer Menage is in charge of the fast action pro- gram. He has the responsi- bility of the games and the all important intramural all- star voting. The all-stars then engage in the most important game of the sea- son, The All-stars versus The Faculty which ends the program for the season. 109 Life is that little bit of time we have to ourselves. Whether we spend the time reading, daydreaming, playing or just doing nothing makes no difference. What is important is that every nobody becomes a somebody fora while before they are snatched back. In loyalty to their kind, They cannot tolerate our minds, In loyalty to our kind, We cannot tolerate their obstruction.” Jefferson Airplane 124 Administration: Many New Problems to Solve Superintendent Harvey Eitreim School Board was very active this year. They in- troduced a bond issue and put out a pamphlet which described it. Here is a portion from that phamphlet which describes the additions that were proposed. Vocationaltraining has become increasingly import- ant. We must upgrade and add to these facilities. Not all students are interested in straight academic-course work! The proposed additions will solve the major pro- blems in the vocational area. The new physical education center will provide for the scheduling of physical education classes for more stu- dents and will provide space for girls' athletics. The new locker, shower, storage, and public toilet facilities have been needed for many years. Various children's activities take place all summer at the ath- letic field; consequently, the building will also be used during the summer months. The library expansion will be built over the new agri- culture classroom and immediately adjacent to the pre- sent library. Space will be made available for addition- al books and materials. This will serve as an instruc- tional materials collection and distribution center as well as a resource learning center for the various aca- demic areas of the school. The old portion of the Hardwick School has been con- demned and will be demolished. It originally was built in the early 1900's and no longer serves a useful pur- pose. The boiler in the old building will be covered and utilized to heat the gym and six classrooms. As you can see, it involved many phases of revamping. It was voted for on Tuesday, December 11, 1973, and passed by a narrow margin. Along with the School Board is the other half of the Administration, that being the principals. They are involved with aiding the students in selecting a curricu- lum and are the go between as far as the student body and the Administration. 126 Bond Issue Passes by Narrow Margin Principal John Rath Principal James Hamer Left to Right: Keith Connell, Dr. D.

She also keeps all health records in order, checks the height, weight, eyes and ears of each student. Mrs. Tollefson devotes her spare time to ad- vise the Medical Careers Club. Food for Thought- Is It Really So Bad? Have you ever tried to satisfy the needs of an entire student body? Weil, this is the task that our school cooks must face every day of the school year. During the week, you can be sure to hear someone complain about the food. Even though the students complain they can't really dislike the food as much as they say, because when noon comes, everyone runs to eat the so called bad food. Just once, why not say something nice about the food you get at noon. Our cooks have a hard job to do, and they do it well. 134 November 7, 1973, Allen Franken, age 48, passed away.

Crew of LHS The custodial crew and bus- drivers of LHS are a busy group of people. They start their day while most of us are still in bed. Custodians make sure every- thing is clean and in good repair; a job that takes a great deal of time and effort. Busdrivers pick up students regularly in the morning and bring them home again at night. Although their jobs may not seem to exciting, without their services the Luverne School System would collapse.
