TENNYSON I BRAD WINKLE With moistened eyes we remember our friend Bradley. He was a serious young man, always trying to better himself but having in his eyes a twinkle, revealing a little mischief locked up inside and ready to spring out at a moment’s notice. Despite any physical infirmities, he was not one to expect any special treatment. He was just one of the gang. Just being himself. Just being Bradley. FACULTY ADMINISTRATION 1.

Here Bryan charges through to bring Kas- son closer to victory. 3. Did you guys lose something on the ground? Or what? t« A � J rr One of the highlights of the 1983 football season was Kasson’s victory over Stewartville. Our victory this year was our revenge for last year’s lone loss. 1. A pile- up, but that didn’t stop the Komets against Plainview. 2. It was a common sight to see Pat running towards the goal with no one nearby. 3. The guys celebrate after their victory over Stewartville. 4. One of the Komets' favorite sights. “Touch- down!” 5. A huddle to discuss strategy. 6.

Bottom: Steve Blatti, Jenny Wharton, Mary Jo Peterson, Tom Besch Middle: Stefanie Hettervig, Stacie Tietz, Mary Ann Weber Top: Lisa Dibble This was the second year of running with Byron, and it was very successful. For the first time in about three years, K-M had a full girl’s squad. Practices were at Byron, and our head coach was Mr. Cabaya. By running with Byron, we had many different and fun runs, some were: Douglas Trail, we ran from Pine Island to Douglas; Godfather’s Run, run to Godfather's and then pig out on pizza — both of these runs were about 8% miles. After the season was over, there was an Awards Banquet at Byron. There, the letter winners were announced, and the co-cap- tains for both teams were recognized. After- wards, we left the parents at the school and went off to Rochester. This year’s co-cap- tains for K-M were Stacie Tietz and Mary Jo Peterson. CROSS COUNTRY % THE CHALK GARDEN This is the talented cast who made the play a success (bottom left picture): Sitting on floor: Missy Engel. Hilary Stellner. Sitting on sofa: Jodi Aakre. Jodi Canterbury. Standing: Lori Schnorenberg. Chris Schmidt. Russ Leitzen. Joel Ludvigsen. Julie Charon. (1) Chris, as the nurse, seems to be having “one of those days.” No one can blame her since she cares for Mr. Pinkbell. the aging butler who is feared, and whose age-old standards are upheld. (2) Joel is Maitland, the current butler of the house. He cares for Laurel, the young lady in the house, amusing her with fire, crime stories, and a game called “The Sky's the Limit. (3) Mrs. St. Maugham, Jodi C.. is Laurel’s grandmother. She is an old woman who holds onto the past, only caring for Laurel in an attempt to be remembered. Laurel, played by Hilary, is the young girl the drama centers around. She attempts to draw attention to herself by lying, always wearing a •‘mask” and not revealing her true feelings. Madrigal sees Laurel how she really is. so she can help her. (4) Missy portrayed Miss Madrigal, the mysterious woman Mrs. St. Maugham hired as a governess. She is calm and reserved, with a knowledge of life due to a fifteen year prison sentence. (5) Julie, being helped here by Jodi, was also the assistant director as well as being in the show. Joel Aarsvold ran lights and helped backstage. The entire production was directed by Mrs. Frarck. Russ Leitzen portrayed the Judge, an old friend of Mrs. St. Maugham who views the past the same way she does. He lunches at the house, and, to Madrigal's horror, is the same judge who tried and sentenced her. Olivia. Jodi A., is the mother Laurel •‘abandoned” because she remarried for “love.” Olivia returns to take Laurel back; she is going to have a baby and the guilt of leaving” Laurel torments her. Julie and Lori both played applicants for the position of governess. Lori’s character came to the house only to “have a peep, Julie's to find a job where she could work with a young person. In the end, Madrigal fights for Laurel and sends her home with Olivia, giving Laurel a “normal” life where she will be allowed to grow up and be loved. 57 K-M VOLLEYBALL 7TH GRADE Back Row: Sandy Hill, Christy Skogen, Simone Nereson, Kris Malecha, Laurie Trow, Jenny Lermon, Marcie Callahan.

A special group of athletes and young people, and a fantastic season best describe “83” vof- leyball. After graduating seven good seniors, this season’s out- look was questionable. The team worked hard and progressed quickly. This group had a special ability to work together as a team. They also displayed an ex- cellent practice attitude. These qualities were evident in their ability to remain positive in the tough situations they faced this season. The team and I were moved by the support we re- ceived from the faculty, cheer- leaders, band, parents, student body, and K.M. community, dur- ing the tournaments.

In spite of the slow start and transition to basketball, the Komets did well from the beginning of the season. Starting the season off with three very tough games, (State rated Lake City and Austin Pacelli), the Komets went from losing the first three games to winning the next 9 games. Never quite getting past Lake City and Pacelli, the girls did manage to finish right behind them in the HVL. The team was honored to have two players make the All-Confer- ence team: Beth Tollefson (2nd year) and Lori Allen. These two girls led us in scoring and rebounding. At the end of the year the team voted for some special awards. Beth Tollefson was named MVP, Kelly Olmsted was named Most Im- proved, Lori Allen was chosen Best Offensive Player, Diane Hughes was voted Best Defensive Player, and Becky Boyum was named Best Sportsmanlike player. Next year we are looking forward to repeating this team’s record and improving upon it. With mostly re- turning letterwinners on the team, we should have a good chance to be District Champs, Region Champs, and go to the State Tour- ney. Our goals are set high.

Asst. Coaches: Lance Peterson, John Hoehn. This has been a good year for K-M wrestling. The 11-4 record has been the best since '77. The team also was the HVL champ and District IV runner-up. Memorable meets were the Lake City and Morristown tourna- ments, where K-M placed first and second respectively. The High-lite meet of the year would have been the Stewartville match - a see-saw battle with the victory clenched by Tom Dohrmann’s pin. There were three district champs this year: Dane Head (98), Larry Aarsvold (119), and Mike Madery (145). Paul Stucky also made the accomplishment of placing third at Regions.

THE DARK LADY OF THE SONNET Cast Carey Boyum-Shakespeare Kim Strain-Mary Mrs. Frarck-Director Jodi Aakre-Asst. Director Hilary Stellner-Elizabeth Joel Ludvigsen-The Guard ■ V 1] ' 1 The One-Act play was presented January 28 at Pine Island High School, and was selected District Alternate. It told the story of an aspiring writer — William Shakespeare (Carey). The play opens with Shakespeare approaching the Queen’s castle in search of Mary (Kim), his mistress. He is stopped by a drunken guard (Joel), but Shakespeare bribes him and is allowed to wait for Mary. Queen Elizabeth (Hilary) is sleep- walking and runs into Shakespeare. He mistakes her for Mary, then launches into a heavy attack of flirting. Mary discovers them embracing, slaps Elizabeth, and then realizes who Elizabeth is. Terrified, Mary attempts to explain her actions by telling that Shakespeare is very flirtatious and that he has used her merely as an inspiration for his writing (son- nets). Mary becomes so upset that Elizabeth sends her away so that she may speak to Shakespeare alone. In the end, Elizabeth and Shakespeare part, no worse for the wear. Mrs. Frarck directed the production and Jodi Aakre was the stu- dent director. 76 SPEECH TEAM Kristina Randall (Humorous Interpretation), Carey Boyum (Serious Prose), Coach-Miss Kannenberg, Joel Ludvigsen (Humorous Interpretation), Hilary Stellner (Creative Expression). Not pictured: Autie Ziehlke (Serious Prose). 1984 was a great year for speech. To begin with, Joel placed third out of over sixty competi- tors at the Mankato State Invitational Tourna- ment. At District Contest Carey was first alternate, Joel took third place, and Hilary took second place in their respective divisions. Joel and Hilary advanced to Region Contest where Joel was first alternate and Hilary placed second. Hilary then participated in State Contest. The following is Hi- lary’s speech (“LUNCH”), which she wrote her- self. “LUNCH” BY HILARY STELLNER Having been a student most of my life, progressing from a shy kindergartner to a noisy grade schooler to a boy- crazy junior higher to wise and mature high schooler, I have discovered that all students have one common priority: LUNCH! All eyes are watching the clock. As the second hand finishes out the final minute before class ends, a chant softly begins: “LUNCH! LUNCH! LUNCH! Books are carelessly tossed into lockers and a steady procession begins to form. Nearly four hours have passed since anyone has eaten and the football players anxiously chant: LUNCH! LUNCH! LUNCH!” Hallways become firmly packed as the biggest and the bravest courageously lead the starved, insane pack. The cooks stand ready in the kitchen, a soup ladle in one hand and a baseball bat in the other, unphased by the trampling footsteps that have begun to rumble the building. The perpetual chant has grown to deafening proportions: “LUNCH! LUNCH! LUNCH!” Supervisors stand as referees at the doors of the cafeteria, hands behind their backs, and solemn, stern looks upon their faces. The mob has now become a tribe of primitive beings, growling at those who block their path: “LUNCH! LUNCH! LUNCH!” They are suddenly halted. The big and brave gaze woefully at the locked lunchroom doors. A supervisor warily steps forward and those near the front of the crowd can see the glint of gold in his hand. He has the key. The chanting has ceased, but he looks into their eyes, now mad and animalistic, almost hearing the silent cry: “LUNCH! LUNCH! LUNCH!” As he steps to the door, his shaking hand falters slightly with the lock. A tenseness has settled over the crowd. The key falls from his hand and everyone gasps: “LUNCH! LUNCH! LUNCH!” Not a sound is made. Quickly the supervisor retrieves the key, thrusts it into the lock, and throws open the doors. An unnerving shout is given: “LUNCH! LUNCH! LUNCH! The mob is off as though they're horses just released from the starting gate. An unbridled passions for food escapes from them as they rush to the serving line. The cooks stand unwaveringly as the conglomerated mass lurches toward them screaming: “LUNCH! LUNCH! LUNCH! Unfortunates who have forgotten their lunch money hover at the end of the food line, hoping to catch a stray French fry or beg a potato chip from their friends and enemies alike. Food is sucked up as if by a vaccum. The cry that was once so incessant dwindles and dies: “LUNCH! LUNCH! LUNCH! Belching loudly, the wild multitude retreats, satisfied for the afternoon. Mouths, once open and drooling, now bear the remanants of the noon meal at their corners. Stomachs, once rumbling discontentedly, now placidly digest their food. The cooks wearily lay down their soup ladles and their baseball bats and the supervisors sigh with relief. This moment of rest lasts not long, for they must prepare for tomorrow when the familiar chant: “LUNCH! LUNCH! LUNCH!” begins again. 77 Was he SAFE?

The Curious Savage On May 4 and 5 “The Curious Savage” was presented. It dealt comedically with the Cloisters, an institution for those who cannot function in society. The inhabitants, Fairy (Kris Randall), Florence (Kim Strain), Hannibal (Keith Leitzen), Jeff (Autie Ziehlke), Alice (Judy King), and Mrs. Paddy (Jodi Canterbury), are a family of sorts. They not only have their idiosyncricies and argue amoung themselves, but also love each other as a family does. They are a “small but comfortable group” that is eager to please any newcomer. Enter Ethel Savage, a wealthy old woman whose children are committing her because she is “completely mad.” Titus (Joel Ludvigsen), Lily Belle (Jodi Aakre), and Sarah Savage (Lori Schnorenberg) are the greedy, Self-centered, step-children. The kids only want mom’s money; not really caring if she is happy or truly crazy. Ethel and her teddy bear, from which she is never separated, are gradually accepted by the “family” at the Cloisters, and she feels love for the first time since her husband died. Soon after committing her, Titus, Lily Belle, and Sarah discover that Ethel has hidden ten million dollars. Holding up this action as proof of her sanity, the Savages try to get Dr. Emmett (Russ Leitzen) and Miss Willie (Missy Engel), the Cloister’s staff, to force Ethel to tell where the money is. Ethel is “boxed-in” and reveals her hiding place: her teddy bear. But moments after she relinquishes her hidden treasure, the lights go out and it is stolen. Things eventually work themselves out: Ethel gets her money, the Savages are “made to look like fools.” Thanks for a wonderful show! Mrs. Frarck directed and Jenny Naatz and Carey Boyum ran lights. Thanks for your help; it was greatly appreciated.

There is probably no other day that is waited for such as this one is. But now that it is here, I wish the time had gone slower. When we were little, most of us cried because we didn’t want to go to school. Ironically enough, today many tears will be shed because we are leaving school. I don’t believe it’s leaving school that we will be crying over, but rather all the fond memories, experiences, and friends we will leave behind. “No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings ...” — our class motto. Perhaps this means that without the help of others, we would not get very far in life. All the years would have been made much more difficult to cope with had it not been for our parents, friends, teachers, and all the others who helped us through life. We all need that helping hand from time to time. I, however, think this motto has two meanings. Of course we need advice, encouragement, and assistance from others. But we also have to do things on our own. We can’t depend entirely on other people's wings. We have to use our own wings to soar high and reach our potential in life. Whatever we put into life, we will get back. Now that our high school days are behind us, we must use those wings to soar into the new world. But we will never forget our past. I think that our senior high days will be remembered most of all. Some of my fondest memories come from the times when I was being (or trying to be) a manager. Most of the time I could handle things, but I had my bad days, too. Some people still don’t let me forget the time I forgot to bring the basketballs to a basketball game — but who would do that? Managing this year has brought some especially fond memories: going to state in volleyball, winning districts in basketball, and now winning districts in softball, too. Sometimes I tend to get a little excited when we win, but I guess I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t. But even more than the winning and going to state, I will treasure the very special freindships that I have made through being a manager. All of us have shared so much together — the good times and the bad — no matter what, we saw each other through. Our days in high school have given us all memories that we will always cherish. No matter what the activity, we were always proud to say that we were from Kasson-Mantorville, even if half the people who saw us asked, “Where is that?” But it didn't matter; we were still proud to be one of the K-M Komets. We were always loyal to our school and to each other. We learned to work together and now we must learn to work on our own. As everything must end, so must our high school days. I wish you, the K-M Class of 1984, the best of luck in the future, and success in all you undertake. Always keep smiling, because happy is the only way to be! - Julie Hunt 90 CLASS FLOWER: RED ROSE CLASS COLORS: BABY BLUE AND ROYAL BLUE Julie Hunt, whose speach is to the left, is seated with the other speakers.

Besides spon- soring a few dances this year, the council gave the business communi- ty a breakfast in the fall, repaired the girls’ lavatories, and acquired Student Center passes for juniors and seniors in study halls. An Em- ployee of the Montn is also named and encourages high performance by the faculty. A new program this year is job service interview, which allows junior high students to become acquainted with the different types of occupations that they may lead in the future. Two members of the Student Council, Gayle Jorgenson and Lorri Bulaga, also attended the regional Student Council workshop at Stewartville. All of these show the hard work and leadership that the council demonstrated throughout this school year.” SPAIN TRIP MARCH 17-31, 1984 1.

Ann looking over On March 17 our small group consisting of: Mrs. Lynette Huppler, our group leader, Chris Schmidt, Ann Johnson, Kim Strain, and Kim Bentley from Byron departed from Minneapolis to Espafia. In Chicago we met the rest of our group from Florence, Wisconsin. We immedi- ately became friends. We arrived in Madrid Sunday morning. As we toured Madrid, we became accus- tomed to the Spanish language and people while enjoying such sights as the Royal Palace. While in Madrid we took daily excursions to sur- rounding towns such as Segovia and Toledo (famous for its weapon- ry). On Wednesday we took an overnight train to Sevilla. Ouite an experience! It’s especially easy to spill things. Right Ann? The next day we set off to meet our new fam- ilies. We planned to go by train, but on arrival we discovered the trains were on strike! Luckily our taxi dri- vers decided to drive us there them- selves. Then the family stay began. One would have to experience it personally to understand. After six days we said goodbye to our fam- ilies, with tears and promises of writ- ing, and left for Malaga. On March 30th we departed for home. Our trip had ended, but the memories and new friendships will never die. -Kim Strain the majestic castle of Isabel and Ferdinand, who sent Columbus over to the New World.

He lived with a Mexican family, part of which is pictured below. Throughout his trip Joel traveled to many different places. He went to Acapulco, Guadalahara, Xochimilco, Teotihuacan, and many other places. By living in a foreign country, Joel was able to learn many things about other parts of the world. He learned that the whole world is not just like the United States. Some things are worse, some things are better, and still other things are the same.
