FORD TAKfcS THE OATH OF OFFICE AS MTH PRESIDENT FORD TRIES CHOPSTICKS ON HIS VISIT TO JAPAN ... Those gloRi'ous days of summeR gone by Summer is the time of year when all students put their studies aside to do as they please. The pace slows down from that of the school months and kids seem satisfied just to be free. Some may find a job and others may decide to just take it easy but one thing is for sure, and that is everybody goes out and has a good time when it's possible. What characterizes summer from the other seasons of the year? To a student it's the forms of recreation—bike rides, swim- ming, baseball, softball, ten- nis,hiking, boating, and golf. Or it may be the places one can go—picnics, vacations, drive-ins, and cabins. Sum- mer's the time when the shoes are kicked off and the hair is blown freely in the breeze. The utmost concerns are pushed aside for the time being—the time called summer. 1. Pat Strassburg spends his out-of-school time working at a filling station. 2. Easy Riders A1 Siebert, Paul Estensen, Brad Smock, and Kirk Authier stop for a break from cycling. 3. Sue Bailey feels the freedom of summer by swinging at the elementary school. 4. Faye Hawkinson is one of the many who bike ride during the summer. 5. Andy Noll watches Mark Remme as they putt around on the golf course. 6.

Annual Staff: Turning moments of time into years of memories The year was 1995. The event was a 20 year reunion of former LHS students. For many it was the first time since graduation day that they had seen the faces of their long, lost, high school cro- nies. Amidst the potato salad and screaming children,an aged year- book was dug up. It's pages were yellow and torn,the pictures gray and bleak, but it's remembrances were crys- tal clear. Everyone crowded around, eager to peek at the years past. For some i t brought laughter, others unbelievabil ity, and still others, tears. But for all it brought back wonderful memo- ries. For it had been their year—1975. 1. Senior editors: Kathy Weinman and Bill Schrank. 2. Junior editors: Tom Matus and Deone Perkins. 3. Typist Theresa Gits. 4. Typist Connie Mul- vihill. 5.

Echo: School voice Once a month, 7th hour, you can hear the cries Echoes, Echoes ring- ing through the hall. The Echo is run just like any other paper. Sto- ries are written by the students themselves. Junior and Senior edi- tors assign the reporters to various stories of interest within the school. Some of the regular features are a sports column written by Bill Schrank and a Teacher Feature to acquaint the students with the new teachers. An inside look into the lives of Seniors is written in the Personality Parade. After the students write their stories they are turned into the typists who are also students. When they are typed, the stories are turned over to the Announcer for printing. Various businessmen down- town assist in the cost by adver- tising. 14 Echo reporters listen as Mr. Gits explains the fundamentals of writing an Echo story.

March 11, 1975 was a big day in the lives of many of the seniors involved in German Club. On that day ten members of German Club, along with Mrs. Spease, their advisor, departed for Germany. For fifteen days they traveled through Ger- many spending five days with a German family learning the customs of the coun- try, and becoming more adapt at the use of the German language. Other German Club activities in- cluded joint meetings with Spanish Club and Christmas caroling. At their meet- ings, German Club members discuss future activities and listened to guest speak- ers. 20 Interested in broaden- ing your knowledge about another country? If you are, Spanish Club is the organization to join. Each year, the members sell their delicious candy to make money. They sell candy to make money, so they can send members of their club to Mexico. This past year they were able to send four people and this year they hope to send the same amount or even more. Spanish Club, again this year, plans on going out to eat at the El Matador for their end of the year party. At some of their other meetings, they had a scavanger hunt, a joint Christmas party with the German Club and Tachi, the foreigh exchange student, will speak at one of their meetings. Also, one of their main jobs was the planning of the floorshow. Top Left: Advisor, Miss Gudahl looks at the group pleadingly for help. Top Middle: Mary Dahlberg tries to understand what is going on.

The year started out with a bonfire out at Mrs. Chris- tianson's, which because of bad weather was held inside. Once again a student ex- change was held, with Buffalo Lake. Lynette Kemerling, Cal- ene Birky, Karen Remme and Becky Arp had quite an inter- esting experience at Buffalo Lake, population 714. Also the club was busy taking many field trips. The club visited Pipestone Voca- tional School, Augustana Col- lege, Cooper High School in Minneapolis, and the Univer- sity of Minnesota. So SAE is a very active program with many students actually participating in edu- cation. Right: Varsity debate squad with trophies won at Windom debate tournament.

Debate is research, arguing, logic, travel, swimming in the middle of the winter, meeting new people, frustration, gaining new knowledge and having fun. Debate involves a lot of hard work, but there is also fun involved. Almost every weekend the debators journey to some other town in the tri- state area for a debate tournament. Some of the tournaments begin on Friday and conclude on Saturday. At these two-day tournaments, the debators usually stay overnight, often times in a motel with an indoor swimming pool. When the debating is over on Friday afternoon, the debators have the rest of the evening to themselves, ihese tournaments are usually a lot of fun. Debaters strive for state 23 Future Homemakers of America What is FHA? Sounds like a bunch of sewing and cooking to me! Future Homemakers of America isn't just sewing and cooking. It's girls dedicated to helping the community through service projects. Several of the service pro- jects they carried out this year were; making a stuffed animal for welfare children to be presented at District Convention, visiting the elderly at the Mary Jane Brown Home, and encouraging self betterment among their members. The Junior High chapter also offers a $300 scholarship to any girl who has been a member of FHA for two years and she doesn't necessarily have to be int- erested in home economics. Under the advisors of Miss Peterson and Miss Johnson the chapters are sure to have another good year. Above: Jr. High FHA officers are; Row 1: Jill Holm, Terri Busse, Luanne Tilstra, PatVanderberg.

Badminton, arch- ery, and bowling were also provided for those girls that had talents in that area. Mrs. Hemme, Miss Birchard, and Mrs. Spease were available to coach the girls. For many LHS girls, GAA provided many memories, the nursing of sore muscles or the winning of a championship. Cards continue winning ways with an executing offense and a devastating defense The Luverne Cardinals added the third to the string of two winning seasons this year with an 8-2 record. The Cards had a lot of holes to fill and a lot to prove’ after the loss of twenty-one seniors which lead the team for the previous two years. The Cards started putting things together with two pre-season wins over Canby Co-captain Jeff Benson finds running room ifter catching a Greg Ahrendt pass. 30-6 and Brookings 26.-12. The Cardinals were ready to start work on the Conference teams.

The Luverne Cards crossed the line twice and came out on top 14-7. Win- dom then travelled to Luv- erne for Luverne's first home game of the season. The Cards put on a good show in which five different players crossed the goal line and Luverne won 33-0. Luverne travelled to Pipestone the following week to play the Arrows rated seventeenth in the state. The Cards out- played the Arrows in every phase of the game except the score and Pipestone won 12-0. Luverne won their Homecoming game over Jackson, 26-12 and added another win over Slay- ton by a score of 23-6. The next week Luverne played Worthington and Marshall played Pipestone. All four teams were tied for first place. Luverne beat Worth- ington in the last minute of the game to stay in the run- ning and Marshall beat Pipe- stone in overtime.

It involves pride in one's self and pride in something of which one is a part. This desire and enthusiasm is spirit ! Without spirit nothing could be accomplished. Spirit is what in- cludes a person within a project, a goal and a team. It exists always, whether it is noticable or unnotice- able, favorable or unfavorable. The kind of spirit one has determines the outcome of the project. If one's spirit is weak, the product will be weak and feeble; if one's spirit is strong, then shall the product be strong and triumphant. An important part of LHS is its spirit. Students of LHS show spirit by participating,following, and sup- porting activities. Through the stu- dents' spirit one sees anxiety, con- cern and pride. A school can be judged by its spirit, so students of LHS, remain spirited and don't die. The 24 hour-1 spirit can't believe it's a spirit, 32 33 Lbs Homecoming, 1974 began Monday night with the crowning of Paul Odland as the king and Marie Luginbill as queen. Randy Arp presided over the coronation with Bill Schrank crowning the royalty. On Tuesday night there was a bonfire for all students in one of Howard Schmidt's fields. A large number of kids came and enjoyed the huge fire. Thursday night the Spanish Club sponsored a floorshow. It provided enter- tainment for those watching and also those backstage.

Pep and Stage band are two groups that leave the con- ventional types of music and explore other types as well. They entertain their audiences with the popular music of the present, the rock and roll of the fifties, and the jazz sound of the big bands. The Pep band was made smal- ler this year and a few ninth grade members were able to per- form with them. It performs at all home basketball and wrest- ling events.

Instead of having band during fourth hour as in the years before, it was switched to first hour. This enabled Mr. Mahaffy to have band sectionals and pep and stage band practice be- fore school at a later time without breaking up too much before band. After the Indoor Marching Band Concert, the band began practicing for their Winter Concert in January. Next came practice for the Solo and Ensemble Contest in February, and the Spring Concert in May. 1. Tami Pederson, Lori Juhl, Nancy Wegner. 2. Bob Frakes, Paul Johnson, Becky Hessel, Brenda Mann. 3.

The Junior High Bands practice with the idea of uphold- ing, if not exceeding, the quality already set by the bands of the past. They've already got a headstart on being great, and are out to be best in Senior High. Mrs. Blanchard directs the eighth and ninth grade band on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. They started their sea- son by marching at Worthington Turkey Days, Tri-State, and a few football games. Mr. Mahaffy works with the seventh grade on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Both bands performed at a fall and also a spring concert. Above: Chester Eendt works hard dur- ing band practice. Left toright:Paula Reisch finds that being short can pre- sent a problem.

Young and inexperienced, but growing This year the concert choir had a challenge set before them. They were a young choir and in- experienced. They had a tra- dition to uphold and alot of work was needed to do that. Their first appearance was at the Fall Festival of choirs at Windom. Right afterwards, the choir began working deligentlyon music for their Christmas Concert. On December 15, the choir presented in an afternoon concert, Han- del's Messiah . After Christmas vacation, the choir came back to school and started rehearsing for the Pops Concert to be given in early February. The theme for this year's concert is Hap- piness is... and will include skits, along with popular tunes of today. Later in February is the District Solo-Ensemble Contest at Luverne. Students who par- ticipate in this, and receive superior ratings, advance t o State-Regional competition held at Worthington in May. The choir also performs at this time as a large group. 44 Madrigal Singers perform largely at Christmas time. However, they also perform at contest. They are: Ken Hup, Jodie Boone, Norton, Dawn Kindt, Perry Frakes, Kathy Clausen, Merle Savage, Marie Luginbill, Kirk Authier, Brenda Ykema, Alan Siebeit, Phyllis Suprenant, Brenda Mann, Theresa Gits, Tim Polzin, Vicki Walker, Paul Odland and Martha Schmidt. Above Left: Choir Council mob Mr. Phelps. Members are: Steph Olsen, Faye Hawkinson, Martha Schmidt, Dawn Kindt and Merle The final performance of the year for the choir will be the Spring Concert. This year how- ever, it will be a little bit different. Dr. Douglas McEwen from Arizona, will be arriving a, few days prior to the concert, to work with them, and direct them in the concert. This will be a good chance for the choir to ex- perience singing under a different director. Right: Concert choir practices for the pops concert.

Girls Glee—Developing a sound of their own Beginning of the school year found Girls Glee hard at work pre- paring for the Fall Festival at Win- dom. This was their first perfor- mance. Immediately afterwards, they joined forces with the concert choir and began fitting all the pieces of Handel's Messiah together. Their next job was to help put on the spring pops concert in Febru- ary. This concert, under the theme Happiness is..., will be like last year's, including both songs and skits. Preparation is also underway for those participating in District Solo-Ensemble contest held here in Luverne. Girls receiving superior ratings or above, advance to State- Regional contest held at Worhtington in May. The Glee will compete at this time as a large group. The final appearance for Girls Glee will be the spring concert in May, under the direction of guest clinican Dr. Douglas McEwen from Arizona.

There are girl athletes all over the place; on the tenrm's courts, on the volley- ball floor, and on the golf course. Forty-nine girls participated in the first year of girl's fall sports. The tennis team had a fantastic season, losing only one meet. Luverne's feminist golf- ers competed in three meets and lost only one. Although the volleyball team started out slow, they improved through the season and finished with many close matches. All three girl's teams are looking for- ward to a great season next year.

They worked on substi- tuting tables for some desks, and bringing in magazines. The council loaned money to the Juniors to help with Prom. They also had the usual prob- lems of hiring bands for dances and discussion of Sen- ior rights and student limi- tations. Sr. High Council con- sisted of 6 officers, 24 rep- resentatives, and 3 cabinet members. They held meetings once every other week for one hour.

There is something exquisite in waking up to winter; something shivery about the silent, covered world just beyond the window pane. We step into it, and are surrounded by an awesome unity; a greyness once the sky, we reach out, and are caught by it crumbling down around us as white bits of fluff. Trapped, we run amid the swirls and drifts over the wide wet carpet laughing, shrieking with perennial delight. 56 The 1974 year is ended by a winter wonderland dance December 21, was a cold windy night, but inside the caf- eteria it was warm and full of happiness. It was the night of Snoball, the semi-formal winter dance. Everyone was welcome, to this dance from grades 9-12. This year the music was provided by the band. Flight. Everyone enjoyed themselves dancing or listening to the music. One of the highlights that the girls looked forward to was the buying of roses at the dance.

He or she is the individual who gets results whether he or she is the tough task-master or the soft-spoken, mild mannered good guy; re- sults are the measure of his or her success. Success is not just winning championships, but includes all the other facets of the game. It is gaining and maintaining the re- spect of the players, opponents, and fans alike. While striving to get the utmost per- formance from each of his or her team mem- bers, they never overlook the importance of building loyalty, fair play, consideration for others, self-confidence, and other char- acter strenghts that will remain with him or her for life. Yes, winning is great, but there is more. If years after the athlete's playing days, he or she remembers their coach as one of the most influential people in their school career, they are paying them the greatest tribute. The Luverne Cardinals have had a history of having many such coaches. BASEBALL Dave Peterson TENNIS BASKETBALL Vicki Birchard FOOTBALL asst.

Accept defeat is what the team did, after losing their first two games. One to a tall Manakto team and the second to an arch rival the Pipe- stone Arrows. The team stuck together and put together second half rallies to defeat Slayton and Lemars. A big factor for us will be in the seniors who have played together for a number of years, says Coach Carroll. This held true as the Cards traveled to Worhtington and broke a long lasting jinx by defeating the Trojans on their own floor. The Card- ianis were defeated by the 0'Gorman Knights in non conference play, but came back with a suberb performance to upset the Marshall Tigers. After the Christmas break the Cards lost to Jackson in a double overtime heart- breaker. In the same week the.Cards clipped Redwood Falls. Currently the Cardinals are 5 and 4 and second in conference play.

From the first day I worked hard. Wrestling is an individual sport in which you're just as good as the work you put into it. All of your hard work is then measured by your success in the tournaments. The whole season points to the tourneys, and it is the dream of every wrestler to advance past the districts to Region or even State. It was quite a thrill to be out in front of all those people, just the other guy and myself. I can beat him if I want to, nobody can lose it for me,only I can blow it. It's great;wrestling is great.

L 1VERN£ With a dream for the future B-squad wrestling is very important.The Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors that are not on varsity are the unsung heroes. They make and push the varsity to be what they are.They make them work to stay in their positions. The B-squad wrestlers are truly a very important part of any good wrestling pro- gram. Hal Schmidt Cheerleaders: Charging up for spirit Cheerl ading is one of the few extra-curricular activities that carries on continuously throughout the year. Tryouts are held in the previous spring for the various squads. Besides promoting spirit at games and matches, varsity cheerleaders take on the tasks of making signs, designing hope- coming buttons, and planning and giving pepfests. The B- squad cheerleaders cheer for all Bomber football, basketball, wrestling events, and the Fresh- men cheer for Frosh football and basketball games. The cheerleaders were met with a few changes this year. The varsity football squad was cutdown to six girls, instead cf the usual ten. New sweaters and skirts were purchased by the school for the varsity winter squads, and the Cardinal Club bought them new pom-poms. Another addition was that of Miss Harms as the new advisor. She coaches all the squads, and her help and organization has been a big improvement. 1. Varsity cheerleaders take a break at apepfest. 2. Stephanie Olsen. 3. Dawn Kindt. 4. Tammy Russman. 5.

FRESHMEN pep cl GIB AROUSING THE FAMOUS LHS SPIRIT Pep Club members continue to arouse spirit throughout the student body. The familiar red sweaters are abundant when there is a game. The members can be seen making signs for the games and meets and their faces are seen in many of the pepfest skits. Their continued support of the LHS teams, whether they win or lose, are present at games and throughout the week. Above: Cardinal mascots Sandy Swanson, Jody Holm, Brenda Mann.

Sill TlLgUlLgllSilS Girl's extramural winter sports. . . Luverne High School girls now have extramural winter sports programs of their own. Besides the fall selection of golf, tennis, and volley- ball, the girls can now participate in basketball or gymnastics during the winter months. More than thirty girls participated in A and B-squad basketball programs. The girls' basketball program is much like the boys'. They play conference and non-conference games just like the boys' basketball team does. The girls also compete in the district tournament and have a chance to go to state. Who knows, maybe Luverne's next state champion basketball team will be a girls' team. Right: Shelly Dougherty brings ball down court while Lori Juhl, Number 25, sets a screen in a B-squad game.

Girls'gymnastics has had a foothold in Luverne before, but this year the program is off to new start. With the advent of girls sports, Luverne now has an extramural gymnas- tics squad. The girls compete with other towns in competition throughout the season and then participate in the district tournament. If they perform well enough in the district meets, the girls can advance to region and from there to state. Although young, the girls gymnastics program is well established. Different girls, under the direction of Mrs. Hemme, are involved with a variety of rou- tines, including routines on the uneven par- allel bars, floor mats, trampoline, and the balance beam.

Time passes and things come and go, but progress goes on and on. It may be controversial or it may go unnoticed. At times it is rejected, scorned upon, or put aside, and at times is greeted with open arms and enthusiasm. Progress is the result of man's desire to better his community; desire to get ahead. Progress has almost become a necessity of life. From the biggest city to the small- est town, progress is present bring- ing destruction with construction, depression with prosperity, and lost memories with new ideas. The weight in prosperity outweighs depression, construction outweighs destruction, and new ideas outweigh lost, memories. Luverne is no exception to the way of progress. It is experiencing change rapidly though some things go unmentioned, even unnoticed! New buildings, new businesses, and store fronts are on the rise.LHS students, you are experiencing progress! Take a look around you — notice the prog- ress of the year 1974—1975. Below: One of Luvcrne's many new apartment complexes.

The big 3 —under the marquis Supervision makes up the majority of principals' work —which includes students, teachers, and during classes. They attend several different kinds of principal meet- ings such as: new laws and information, curriculum planning, and MASSP, Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals. Each year these men must schedule extra curricular activities, student's demand for new classes, and teachers to instruct them. They also conduct surveys and adult night classes. The superintendent deals with state aid. He works with the school board on master teaching contracts. His major involvement is preparing our budget so the tax levy can be formed. 76 School Board: The voice behind the scenes f—--------------------------------------------------- Cur School Board consists of farmers, doctors, and businessmen. Their meetings were on Monday nights and were mostly concerned with the addition of the li- brary, a gymnasium, and shops for the Industrial Arts and the Agriculture Departments. Another large involvement of the Board was in ESA, Educational Service Area, which they have supported for the last eight years. This organization sends people from professions such as Speech Therapy and Psychology, who help with any problems in the surrounding school areas. School Board also deals with the yearly problem of declining enrollment, and as each new year comes they a- dapt for the future. V. J 77 Faculty — Our Inspiration Teacher workshops began late in August to get organized for the day the school doors would open to the students. All teachers survived the initial wave of activity and the 1974- 75 school year was underway. As if teaching was not enough, most of the faculty became involved in on or off campus courses and some even attended a computer class offered at Luverne. Many others attended the many clinics, special meetings and conferences that were scheduled throughout the year. Every six years the Luverne Secondary School is evaluated by the Northcentral Accreditation Association. In February the evaluation team visited our school and made their recommenda- tions to the faculty and the administration. The planning and preparation that was required prior to the visitation by the faculty was time consuming, but rewarding to all that partici- pated. The current building program for the additional agricul- ture and the physical education facilities has begun. Faculty was consulted and considerable time was spent attempting to make the facilities just right. Most would agree that our community and the students of LHS get a great deal of mileage from our faculty.

Bus drivers—men and women who are up while we're still sleeping, getting ready to pick us up. Everyday, twice a day, rain, snow, heat, or gloom of night, they run their routes. Besides taking students to school, they also transport them to athletic events in other towns. Without them, the school couldn't run smoothly.

Below, left: Faye and Pam feel one of those head- aches coming on. Right: Nurse Sue Tollefson. Something cooking!?? Every 11:08 and 12:03, the cooks prepare for the mad rush to the lunchroom. The halls are filled with students racing to fill the empty stomachs with the food that the cooks have been preparing all morning. The cooks serve an average of 850 meals each day. With that many students to please, it is hard for them to find a meal that will please them all. So the next time you're rushing down the hall or critizing the food just stop and think about the problems the cooks face; maybe you could say thank you to the cooks at LHS for all the time and hard work they spend on preparing your meals. Help for the ailing in room 152. Who is the most popular person in school? Why it's our school nurse. Sue Tollefson, of course. Why is she the most popular person in school? Well, have you ever noticed just as the tardy bell rings and you're still at you're locker, that you suddenly develop a severe headache. Nurse Sue is always available for all the minor aches and pains the day brings. She keeps track of each students' height, weight, hear- ing and eyesight. She also checks the students who were ill the day before to make sure they don't come to schoo 1 while they're still sick, physically of course. Even though she may be overlooked, most students will agree she is a necessary part of school life at LHS. 85 Concession stand workers: 1. Dave Sieb- enahler and Randy Hoffman. 2.

Below: Class officers: Pres- ident, Kelly Dougherty; Vice President, Mark Spease; Secretary, Lori Baustian; Treasurer, Teresa Eiter; Lower right: Todd Cook shows great concentration during band. As the seventh grade students enter the building on the first day of school they are faced with many different problems. They become confused as they search for their next class, passing by the ominous faces of the upper-classmen. The many bells, the mad rush during the lunch hour, and the absence of milk breaks add to the confusion. The year passes slowly and their teachers reassure them that as seventh graders they are mature, responsible young people. This temporary feeling of reassurance may be temporarily shat- tered when the student enters the seventh grade math class. In times of frustra- tion Mr. Roberts can be heard asking, How in the @ $% did you make it to seventh grade? It took six years of hard studying to get to seventh grade and now they have six hours of junior and senior high to experience just about anything. As seventh graders they can participate in band, choir, junior high GAA, and a va- riety of other activities. As the class of 1980, they have a chance to change many things; they will be the beginning of a new decade. 99 Row 1: Doug McClure, Danjarchow, Joel Krueger, Andy Mann, Myron Lupkes, Judy Horn.

A little less worry but a lot more work Eighth Grade Enthusiastic', friendly, ambitious, inquisitive, and relaxed can be used to describe this years eighth graders. Now sensing a feeling of individu- ality, they start including themselves in many more aca- demic and extra-curricular ac- tivities. Although each eighth grad- er is recognized as an indiv- idual, togetherness is very important to them. Yelling together at pep fests to show their spirit, is just one of many ways of proving they are going to stick together. Among the new experience of the eighth graders is the first all important research paper. Other new experiences include selecting classes for next year,the boys begin play- ing tackle football, band mem- bers begin marching for parades and half-time shows at foot- ball games, and holding more offices in clubs and organiza- tions. These are just a few of the many experiences an eighth grader has. Changing, developing, and working harder are ways that make eighth grade a special year. Picture 1.

And also they have a chance to chose a princess to rep- resent their class in homecoming. This year, one of their activ- ities, was having a government day. This is where students of the class take over every kind of job in the school, from being a teacher, to being a custodian or being the prin- cipal .

They do not only use their voices at pepfests when competing for the spir- it jug, but are also receiv- ing a new type of recognition when they speak in Senior High Council. And once more they are listened to. They have also been al- lowed to become more indi- vidualistic. This was their first year to chose their own courses in preparation for future years. In addition they may try out for senior high sports and activities. Also upon entering their sophomore year, they have a- chieved a new type of status. All the way from being able to talk to seniors during noon hour, to having an act- ive participation in Prom. With all of this and more, they have truly become an intricate part of the school system. 1. Debbie Lindblom 2. Jay Baker 3. Jodie Boone4. Diane Haroldson S.Vem Melzer 6. Joyce Thode 7.

Heerde. The Junior class play died this year. With the girls' parts being double-casted, there was just too many people to fit into a practice schedule. The addition of interscholastic sports for girls and the fact that the boys' football season lasted longer than planned, also influ- enced the administration and Mr. Hussong's deci- sion to cancel the play. As a result, we will be short of money to put on the Junior-Senior prom this spring.

Joan Aanenson Randy Arp Doug Baker Kathy Bendt Greg Ahrendt Ron Arp Brad Beers Jeff Benson Lori Arends Chuck Bailey Rex Bell Jacob Berghorst It's so hard to reflect back on a year and cover everybody's memories. Each person has his or her own good and bad times. One thing is for sure though, and that is that the senior year is special. Almost every senior has mixed emo- tions; emotions that include the fear of the future, the sad real- ization of the last year being to- gether as a class, the pressure of academic and extra-curricular ac- tivities from the senior year, and satisfaction that comes from accom- plishing a goal. This is the year you've re- ceived advice and answers to ques- tions you never even asked. More information that you ever wanted to-know came your way. Now, the waiting is over—you're finishing high school and your future and life style is in your own hands. As a senior, you've experi- enced at least eleven years of schooling and almost eighteen years of life. You've tested many of your ideas, and experienced both success and failure. Now, you're ready to move on, or at least sup- posed to be. You've been looked upon by everyone around you. Everything you've done has been evaluated and, now, it's your turn to evaluate your senior year. 131 Bruce Bo Ite Kristi Braa Life is ten percent ninety percent Lori Brandenburg Margaret Brickson Martha Bruynes Mary Buffington Denise Burmeister Howard Buss Francisco Cazal Rick Christianson Dixie Cooks ley Kim Top: The streaking fad was big at one time and Debates LHS also had one who dared—identification isn't necessary.

Francisco, better known as Tachi, is this year's AFS student. Tachi, whose native homeland is sunny Paraguay, is learning all to well about the Minnesota way of life. He is presently living with the Dr. Darrel Siebert family. Although school life is very different from what he was formerly used to, he states that he likes it very much. He is involved with many extracurricular activities, including being student manager for football and basketball. His future plans are to attend college and to become an engineer.
