Kasson Mantorville High School - Komet Yearbook (Kasson, MN)

Page 33 text:

This year, our yearbook staff strived to recreate the spirit of 1776, for we felt that this year was far too important to forget. We succeeded in putting forth a book to carry out the spirit of America throughout the Bicentennial year. Our 1976 yearbooks were once again published with the Herff Jones Yearbook Company by Pischel. Mr. Rick Fahrenkrug was our yearbook representative. The 1976 KOMET has increased from 128 pages to 144 pages in order to offer coverage of the histories of our two towns, Kasson and Mantorville, in a special Bicenten- nial section. The Bicentennial theme has also been carried out throughout the rest of this special volume. Pictured to the left are business managers Sandi Schleeter and Lynda Andreen making out receipts for the 407 people who purchased yearbooks—the largest purchase order in K-M’s history. Below, Nancy Fencl, Lynda Andreen, assistant editors, observe as Diane Wendler and Ann Folkestad give advice on how students should pose for their picture for the photographer. Huneke Studio of Waseca came two full days during the school year to take group pictures, a free service to us because 80 per cent of the senior class had their photos taken with them.

FHA During the 1975-76 school year the FHA members participated in many worthwhile and fun-filled activities. In the fall a get-acquainted picnic was held at the Mantorville Park. The FHA sponsored a car wash and raked leaves free for the senior citizens. They were also active in a hay ride sponsored by the FFA. A thanksgiving basket was given to a needy family in the community and District Convention was at- tended. During the winter the members sponsored a Teacher Tea, open gym, and made and sold Val- entines (proceeds went to Muscular Dystrophy). As spring rolled around State Convention was talked about and three were selected to go. The annual mother-daughter Tea was held and new officers were selected. The last get together of the year was held to plan for 1976 and 1977. ’75 OFFICERS Sarah Brandli, Pres.; Kirsten EngcL Rep.; Mary Koebele, V.
