MRS. BRANDT: Association Sec- MR. SCHNEIDER: Dean of Stu- retary dents MR . VALLESKY: Principal l Mr. Wedel was asked why he was a teacher? He replied, ' 'From my youth on I had always wanted to enter a helping type of profession. I started out studying for the pastoral ministry, but during my freshman at college year decided to enter the teaching ministry. I felt I could be more effective in this area rather than as a pastor. I realized my own limitations in the pas- toral ministry and felt 1 could serve better in relating to young people . Mr. E. Schneider was asked what advice would he give students on the question of life? l-Ie replied, ' 'Be the Best that you can be and do All to the Glory of the Lord . . . And have a sense of humor. Laughter cheers the soul. 1 regard it as the lubrication of the human spirit. Most of the 'Champi- ons' l've known could laugh - even at themselves! ' ' He was also asked what he thought of our school? He told us ' 'The Greatest, I love Martin Luther High School, my fellow workers and students: We have a fine out- standing facility and property. God has entrusted us to care for it. MR. STORM: Asst. to the Super- intendant MR. WEDEI.: Guidance Counselor DR. WESSLER: Superintendent I Follow The Leaders Faculty 149

By Tom Faupl of The Journal Staff Burlington St. Mary's helcl together when it counted the most, but Coach Bob Peterson wasn't about to do any bragging. 7 The Hilltoppers, after all, had held a comfortable nine point lead late in the game before surviving a furious rally by Martin Luther for an 83-77 victory in a Midwest Prep Conference basketball game at Martin Luther Friday night. Well, it was good to see us win that one, said Peterson. Both teams got sloppy toward the end, but it was good to see us not fold after they, had cut the lead to two. I'm not bragging, though. St. Mary's held a 76-67 lead with less than four minutes remaining, but then Martin Luther started to chip away. , , After three straight field goals by Martin Luther, guard Jim Povlick scored on a jump shot from the top of the key, and the Spartans trailed with 1:30 left, 77-75. Bob Smetana, who scored 20'points, made a layup for St. Mary's, but Martin Luther's Jeff Lemke responded with his own IayL1P, and with 21 seconds left the game was still up for grabs. John Smith, though, delivered the clutch per- formance for St. Mary's after he was fouled twice in the final seconds of the game. Smith sank four 'Qree throws, finishing with 27 points. Don Smith Scored 19 points and Steve Luethy added 18, including 14 in the second half, for Mar- tin Luther. But the Spartans couldn't overcome St. Mary's 77 7, shooting average in the second half. The Hill- toppers made 17 of 22 field goals, while Martin Luther shot 5775 by making 21 of 37 shots.
