After years of having to worry about raising more and more of the school district’s budget at the local level, our legislature has finally responded to the demands of the electorate, and we are now gradually headed toward almost full state funding. In addition to this pleasant situation, we are enjoying working with a top- notch management team which works well together, and with the students, faculty, and parents. MG En eg OUR PRINCIPAL TALKS The students and faculty of Lynden High School have, over the years, established a proud tradition of leadership and accomplishment. This year has been one in the tradition of Lynden High School. Individuals and groups have achieved goals which will provide many memories which may be relived by paging through this yearbook. Congratulations to the students and faculty of Lynden High School. i OUR SUPERINTENDENT TALKS The 1977-78 school year has been a good year.

The International Club wishes to thank these families for extending their } hospitality to Ana and Vilma. We also wish to thank the two girls for coming and sharing of themselves and for i teaching us a bit about their country, Guatemala. The main activity for the year was the International week and week-end held April 10th through the 15th. There were seven countries represented: Germany, Mexico, Japan, Norway, Guatemala, Iran, and France. We had seven students come for the week and seven more for the week-end. They stayed with different host | families and participated in activities with our own L.H.S. students. Friday night the foreign students participated in the program after an informal potluck which included foreign students, hosts, and families. Riko Nomuro, from Japan did a fantastic gymnastic routine. Emma Manzanares did a Mexican hat dance in full costume. Ullie Krause sang a German song with some help from our own librarian, Miss Knudsen who spent 4 years in Germany. Riko also modeled her Japanese kimono as the other four girls from Japan sang. : Saturday, thirty students, Mrs. Clay, Miss Knudsen, and Mrs. Noe went to Vancouver B.C. where the day was spent at Stanley Park and Gastown. As we were ready to leave, the brakes wouldn’t release on the bus so another bus arrived for us about 10:00 p.m. We arrived at Lynden High School at 11:30 p.m. The trip and the several days spent together were enjoyed by all, and through the close contact and friendships gained our nations don’t seem so far away after all!

The Lynden football team had another great season, winning both Whatcom County and Northwest Washington District Championships. In the past six years Lynden has won the league and district championship twice, has two co-championships, and has placed second in league play the other two years. The Lions opened the season with a smashing 47-6 win over Mt. Baker, followed up with a 35-0 win over Blaine, and a 40-0 win over Nooksack. From then on, things got a little close as we beat Lynden Christian 15-8 and won 3-0 over Meridian on Tom Lange’s field goal. The Lions were then upset 35-14 by Mt. Baker, but came back the next week with a 9-6 overtime win over Blaine with Tom Lange again kicking a field goal in overtime. The Lions went on to defeat Nooksack 15-14, Lynden Christian 28-12 and wrapped up the championship with a strong 28-0 victory over Meridian. With this, the Lions finished 9-1, scored 234 points, and allowed the opposition just 81 points. In the quarter finals of the state playoffs, Lynden met Sultan and beat them 14-6 to advance to the semifinals of the state playoffs. In the semifinals, the Lions met Winlock, the defending state champions. On a field completely covered with snow and ice, with the temperature at 29°F. Although the smaller, underdog Lynden team outplayed Winlock, it did not score. Winlock won 6-0 to advance to the state finals. The Lions did a great job and ended up in fourth place. Five Lynden players were selected for the Whatcom County All-Star Team. They were: Tom Lange, Brian Reimer, Mike Hill, Brent Rutgers and John Vanleperen. At the annual Football Banquet, Rick DeGraaff was given the Elmer Clarkson Award, Most Inspirational Player Award; Wade DeJong, the Spirit Award; John Vanleperen, the High Tackle Award, the Most Valuable Player Award and the Outstanding Defensive Lineman Award. Defensive Back Award was given to Brent Rutgers; Offensive Lineman, Jeff Jones; and Offensive Back, to Mike Hill. : The Lions are looking forward to a good season next year as many lettermen will return. For the seventh year in a row our Junior Varsity Team has remained undefeated. This reserve force should also add to our success next year. The coaches give a special thanks to the student body, cheerleaders and band for their outstanding support. Lion team in action. Rick getting ready to pass.

For some, the years may have been hard; for others, enjoyable, but all have succeeded in our own way. As we leave the security of high school life we can look forward hopefully to our future in the adult world. Many of this class will go on to further their education; some will work, and some will raise families. All of us, however, will have the commonadackground of having come from one of the finest schools in the state. The Senior Class of L.H.S. has had a varied and productive year.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to Hiners: even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtues there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and’ everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the councel of years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of Spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with rae You are achild of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. | 94 Ps 95 rr a A OF: Happiness at the Pep Assembly _. and he never laughed and he never cried _ all he did was go like this... Togetherness.

There was a banquet dinner held before the dance, where the Class Prophecy and Will were read. All enjoyed themselves at the dance. The music was provided by ‘‘Deuces Wild’’ and were very good.

Ne Everyone enjoys dancing! ek” me Se a eS = get = SENIOR SKIP On May 23, at 8:30 a.m. the Senior Class was bussed to Bellingham’s McDonalds for breakfast. Everyone enjoyed finger hash browns, sausage, scrambled eggs, and other McDonald breakfast specialties. Next stop was at the Anacortes Ferry Dock. We had a long wait for the ferry, but we kept ourselves busy throwing frisbees in an almost vacant parking lot. The ferry ride proved interesting to most; for some it was their first ride, for others, an exciting card game, or just the pleasure of looking over the water, trying to figure out which island was which. 108 We finally reached our destination, Moran State Park, shortly after noon, where we played volleyball, hiked (courtesy of Mr. D.V.), swam, relaxed in the sun, threw frisbees, and finally ate! A bus trip followed, taking us to the Orcas Ferry Dock, and from there another fun ferry ride to the mainland. A quiet bus trip brought us back to Lynden at 9:30 p.m. Our fun-loving chaperones included: Jim Helgath, Donna Waldemar, Mr. and Mrs. Boice and Brita, Mr. and Mrs. DeValois and Michelle and Kim, Mrs. Cline, Mrs. Birdsey, and Leslie Kipp. TUESDAY, MAY 30, 1978 — 8:00 P.M.

JAKE MABERRY STRAWBERRY AND RASPBERRY FARM “PICK AT THE ia CHIEF’S”’ PHONE: 354-2094 ei The annual staff this past year is to be commended for the outstanding job they have performed. But, each of us knows that this annual could not have been completed without Mrs. Thomas, who was along with us every minute. A big thank-you to you, Mrs. Thomas. Also, a special thanks to the most understanding person I know, Mr. Vannice. To Donette Studios, Mrs. Knudsen, and Gale Johnson, who always seemed to be at more than one place at a time. I wish continued success for the 1978-79 school year to Peggy, as next year’s editor. She will need the full cooperation from everyone again next year. Our Memories ... special meanings to us—this is what our book is about. We, the staff, want this edition to be even more meaningful five-ten-twenty-and even more years from now. These Memories... to look back at many times for LEARNING... for FRIENDS 2e.70r AlMCE TU ome for ACTIVITIES ... for Remembering—YOUR MEMORIES. 1977-78 Editor SY = SS 7 v .
