Student Council: Marla Brenton, Nancy Currie, Jay Leaman, and Barry Nadler. ll Open forum held One of the early activities insti- gated by the Student Council this year was an open forum. Its purpose was to provide an opportunity for students and faculty members to voice their ideas and receive answers from Student Council members. The response to the open forum was goodg more than 500 people at- tended. The discussion itself how- ever, was dubiously successful, in that topics discussed were limited and trivial. Topics discussed included sitting on the floor in the commons, smoking in the restrooms and the dilemma of a missing pencil sharpener. It seems that the silent majority remained ever silent. STUDENTS relax as Gary Lafrenz, Student Council president leads the discussion. nasgx l2 ...I Qi Magazine sales total 57,109.46 The 1972 Magazine sales campaign income totalled S7,109.46, the lowest total since 1951. Sales fell nearly 36,000 short of the 313,000 goal. The leading salesman was Rick Rasmussen, junior, with 3203.67 Tom Leemquil, junior, placed second with 35174.02 Their prizes were an eight- track stereo tape player and a port- able television, respectively. 5 ,ig Many students were awarded pos- 3 ,535 ters and smile pillows, and a variety , of other prizes for their contributions. .iff ff 9 is 'f.' , 1- N..

They aided students in making wise choices for careers and career preparation, and also in select- ing their program of studies at high school and post high school levels. The counseling center took a unique step in assigning one counselor to study one of the academic areas. As the counselor learned the goals and objectives of each department, he be- came better informed of the needs of the department as related to the students.

Room 118 was introduced this year as a semi-quiet section of the library. Tables and chairs were provided for group study, leisure reading and mag- azine reading, and a break from studies. The main section of the library was used for quiet individual study and reference work. BARBARA OPI-IEIM-B.S. Man- kato State Collegeg Media Cen.- ter Assistant W W-ide 27 s LINDA NIXON - B.S.

It is felt that through participation in music activities dur- ing high school, the students can learn about their own emotional be- havior and outlets. Hopefully, they will also have an appreciation and understanding of a broad field of musical literature. Students were able to gain musical experience through band, orchestra, and various vocal groups. i ills' V ROBERT DEAN - M.A. Northwestern University: Instrumental Music RONALD PHILLIPS - M.- M.E.

The department has tried to improve the course by developing a better program for the modern driver. To- day's driver must learn a new type of driving adapting to changing traf- fic conditions, new highways and signs. Students were taught good driving practices through films, filmstrips, textbook reading, assignments, teach- er and guest lectures, and actual driv- ing experience. These methods all helped prepare the student for the encounters he would experience as a WALLACE STITTSWORTH- M.A. Colorado State Teach- er's College: Driver Educa- tion driver.

It is also attempting to improve thc ex- isting programs and increase partici- pation in them, as well as exploring new areas of physical education. The physical education area con- sists of a large gymnasium, two bal- conies for game areas, large under- ground blacktop area with archery, baseball, track, and weight lifting facilities, and two wrestling rooms. All facilities were used to their fullest extent this year, during both class and open lab time.

A variety of courses and opportuni- ties are provided for students to be- come exposed to the progressive in- dustrial field. It is important that the students are constantly kept in- formed of the latest trends in each field, such as electronics, metals, and auto mechanics. Relatively new pro- grams dealing with construction were studied to obtain practical experience in main phases of the building trades.

Skills are learned through the Trades and Industry course, Office Education, Distributive Education, and AOEE. More importantly, good attitudes are developed. Students have practice in getting along with other people and develop the responsibilities of being an employee.

This course was designed to be available for and of use to a wide variety of students, since no solid mathematical background was required. Probability and Statistics could be taken by students to gain some basic knowledge in this area, or by those interested in pursuing mathematics as a career. An unusual course offered by the department was the Math Topics course. This was developed in an effort to encourage students to study topics beyond those regularly offered. Any student interested in obtaining an insight into new areas of math study was instructed on their choice for credit or non-credit. DAVID TROWER - M.A. University of Northern Iowa: Algebra.

Aesthetic appreciation is goal A-vlan- Ol-'W l 1972 added a few more artists to the world, as students progressed from Basic Art into the field in which their specific talent lay. Basic Art is an eighteen-week course, providing a general aesthetic appreciation in such areas as design, color, and art history. This may be followed by any of a number of art activities: jewelry-making, print- making, bi-morphic drawing, cubism. The three courses that were offered this year were Basic Art, Commercial Art, and Fine Arts. A new approach to the art educa- tion will be applied next year. Stu- dents will be able to go into a specific area of art that they enjoy without requiring quite so much time spent on background. Eight courses will be offered, such as Ceramics, with added progressions after the first course if the student wishes to continue, such as Ceramics II. There are pros and cons of this kind of program, the instructors feel, but it is hoped that this will also provide the life-long interest in art to students for which the department strives.

This play, about a woman who sets out to rid the world of all evil, was rehearsed for five Weeks under the direction of David Giese, drama instructor. The leads in The Madwoman of Chaillot were well portrayed by Renee Fitzgerald, Penny Schlaf, Anne Siesseger, and Toni Mascik. Comedy being one of the most diffi- cult forms of drama, these students, many inexperienced, projected their talent as well as seasoned actors. And the play itself was timely and applicable with settings ranging from the 1890's to the present, providing a good laugh for all.

A good offensive line effort opened many holes for the Mo- hawk backs. Through the determined drives of fullback Craig Prahm and halfbacks Larry Baumgartner and Jon Dunn, all seniors, the Mohawks were able to push into Cardinal terri- tory to score. An unfortunate turn of events seemed to plague the Mohawks in two of their losing games. In the contests between Fort Dodge and Marshall- town, the Mohawks held a substantial lead at the end of the first half. In the second halves, however, the team seemed unable to sustain its first half momentum, both games ending in de- feat for Mason City. As a final culmination to the sea- son, various honors were bestowed upon those who had done a fine job throughout the regular season. Senior end Merle Klipping, and Baumgartner were chosen for the first team of the Big Eight's conference team. Senior Bob Popenhagen was chosen as the fourth team all-state guard by the Associated Press, while Klipping was given all-state Honorable Mention by the Des Moines Register. The Mohawk's junior varsity squad posted a 1-2 mark. . it 1971 RUSHIN G: L. Baumgartner . Prahm ...... . . .

The sophomore offense averaged 22 points per game, while the defense gave up an average of 12. The sophs were led by quarter- backs Kurt Lichty and Keith Ones, while running assignments were handled by fullbacks Terry King and Greg Smith. The halfback positions were filled by Mark Erickson, Jim Sayles, and Robert Knapp. The defensive line of Bob White, Jack Hentges, Craig Natvig, Dave Nelson, Tim Low, and Scott Brown strengthened the team, along with centers Martin Barnett and Mike Mc- Enairy. Ends were Alan Herlitzka, Barry Brandt, and Mark Sheppard.

Great success for new team Being a newly-formed competitive sport at Mason City, the Mohawk girls swim team posted a fine season mark of 6-1, losing only to Marshall- town. Willis Coville was coach for the team, which started practice in mid August. Strong for the girls were sophomore Gretchen Neff, in the 100-yard butter- fly and freshman sister, Nora, who swam in freestyle events. The girls faired well at district, placing second, and qualifying nine girls for state. At state finals, fresh- man Cheryl Peterson, who was un- defeated during the regular season, placed an impressive second in the individual medley. Prospects for next year are good, the team losing only two seniors, Jane Grundwald and Jean Sowers. - r. fiisgi V- , I 5 i , ,Q ., J ., ,.as,Egssss ., GIRLS SWIMMING SQUAD ' -First Row: N.

Chenoweth placed sixth in the run. RUNNERS TO YOUR MARK sets these runners in position, as the 1971 Mohawk Invitational gets underway. Mason City won the run, with junior Mark John- son, second from right, setting a new school record in the 2-mile. STATE CHAMP Mark Johnson, to-p runner for Mason City cross country, smiles as he candidly poses before heading out to practice. Johnson was not only the Big Eight's fastest, but proved in state competition to be the top harrier in Iowa. 106 lst in conference, 2nd in state Setting an unprecedented record of success, the 1971 Mason City cross country team surpassed all previous Mohawk harriers in seasonal wins and placements. The team posted an outstanding 11-2 mark in dual meets, and placed first in six out of ten invitationals, both marks being all- time highs for any local cross country squad. Mason City pinnacled its record-breaking season by placing first in the Big Eight, and placing second at state cross country, losing by one point to Davenport Central. Junior Mark Johnson, co-captain with senior Bert Lee, posted an im- pressive individual record. He was the top 2-miler in the Big Eight and state, winning the state meet with a record-breaking time of 9:33.9. Bert Lee also had a fine year. Lee followed Johnson as second in the conference, and placed third at state finals. Third and fourth for the team were Rich Chenoweth and Dennis Lee, respec- tively. Both recorded times that were among the five highest times yet recorded by a Mohawk runner. Fifth Cross Country man on the squad was junior Tony Hershey, another strong runner who aided the team. Rounding out the squad's better runners were Ron Hendrickson, Greg Ewy, Dave Page, Rich Trezona, and Craig Walter, seniors, and freshman Mike Jones. Prospects for next year are prom- ising. Although the team will lose a total of eight seniors, upcoming har- riers are looking good. And of course, Mark Johnson will be back next fall.

XXX IN CONTROL of this wrestling match senior grappler Larry Baumgartner attempts to gain a better advantage over his Waverly opponent. Baumgartner, who wrestled at weight 138, won this match 13-5 at Mason City's triple dual meet. Superior performance by many What can you say about the 1971- 1972 Mohawk varsity Wrestling sea- son? That it was exciting. That it had, at its nucleus, a group of dedi- cated wrestlers. That it ended in a mark of 13-3. All of these descriptions could be applied to this wrestling season. Under the coaching of Jerry Ray, the team was composed of four sopho- mores, three juniors and six seniors. As a whole unit, the team func- tioned well. However, a lack of ex- perienced wrestlers in the higher weights disadvantaged the team in many dual meets. More than once Mason City lost a close meet by hav- ing to forfeit matches at the top weights. In class AAA sectional action in New Hampton, Mason City matmen fared well, six wrestlers qualifying for district competition. At districts, Mohawks earned four third places, giving Mason City a fourth place rating in a field of sixteen teams. Individually, many Mohawks were superior. Senior Larry Baumgartner, strong during the regular season, ended the year winning at sectional, placing third at district, and being named to the second team all- conference wrestling squad. Also chosen for the Big Eight's second team was senior Mark Bruch, a re- turning letterman from last year's squad. The most consistent winner for the Mohawks was senior Randy Redeker, who was given honorable mention in the all-conference team. Redeker was a sectional champ and placed third at districts. Also a sec- tional winner was junior Mark Koerb- er, receiving honorable mention for his strong showings throughout the regular season. Other competent mat- men for Mason City were sectional runner-ups Mark Wilson and Dan Davison and sectional alternate Tom Radio. Davison placed third at dis- trict. With such a young squad prospects for next year's team are hopeful in having a prosperous season. , gfg3iii1tjy5i197i1-1972 VARSITY Iowa Fairs -ZBQS Mason City 23 City 14 Britt i.t 14- Ewff City 144 New ..r CW 16 City 118.

Improved season for Junior Varsity Although a smaller team in com- parison to years past, the 1971-1972 junior varsity wrestling squad accu- mulated one of its best records in recent years. Under the coaching di- rection of Ron Rice and Robert Bye, the wrestlers finished their four- month season with an even record of 8 wins, 8 losses. Tops for the young squad were sophomore grapplers Bryan Foster, John Stockberger, and Joe Egeland. Foster ended with an 11-5-2 mark and earned enough points on JV to earn a Mohawk letter. Stockberger and Egeland finished with records of 9-5-4 and 10-4-0, respectively, and offered a strong nucleus for the re- mainder of the team. Prospects for these varsity men of next year are bright, past experi- ence on the junior varsity team being a strong footing on which to build. STRUGGLING to gain control over his opponent, junior Craig Harrington attempts to counteract his competitor's offensive moves.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT for these Mohawk tankers as relay teams swim during an afternoon practice session. H2 A new diving record, injuries, state. These are phrases that characterize the 1971-1972 season of the boys swimming team. Under the coaching of Willis Colville, assisted by Merlin Peter, the 23 tankers posted a final mark of 7-5. A bright spot of the season was senior diver Marv Fangman who broke his own school record of last year, totaling 231.80 points in the diving competition in a dual meet. Sickness and injury plagued the tankers throughout the winter with senior Brad Isaak and junior Bill White hindered by health problems. The district meet proved fruitful for the best of the Mohawk swim- mers as two relay teams and five in- dividuals qualified for the state tournament. Relay swimmers were seniors John Brindley, Glen Harri- man, and Tom Merfeld, and juniors Dennis Livengood and Bill White. Swimmers who qualified individually were Merfeld, junior Craig Murra, sophomore Kerry McCray, and senior divers Marv Fangman and Steve Sandvik. State competition proved to be somewhat disappointing as no event qualified for finals competition. How- ever, McCray in the individual medley and butterfly and Murra in the breaststroke did participate in the consolation runs. Mason City finished the tourney in a tie for 21st place. PULLING IN THE STRETCH, junior Dennis Livengood, swim- ming in the 200-yard individual medley, helps to bring home a win against East Waterloo. Nine Mohclwks qualify for slate OUTSTRETCHED ARMS will hopefully give senior swimmer Brad Isaak fright! an edge over his East Waterloo oppon- ent, as the 100-yard freestyle event gets underway.

This focused preparation for his back dive pays off, as his entry into the water is the only Mohawk tanker to break a school record this swimming season.

Tying with Marshalltown for the top spot in the Big Eight, the sophs posted an in- comparable record of 16-2. Highlighting the season was Mason City's win over Marshalltown on the Bobcat's home court, 69-66. The last game with Ames also evidenced the expertise of the sophs when they scored 99 points, an all-time record high for any MCHS sophomore game. Top players for the team coached by Paul Strathman were forwards Barry Brandt and Robert Knapp, centers Tom Randall and Craig Schul- ting, and Mike VanHeel, Bob Mc- Kiness and Kurt Lichty as guards.

To the total enthusiasm of the community and school body, the Mohawks played hard, played well, and played spirituous to end with a well-deserved fourth place. The team was further honored for their efforts when they received the tournaments sportsmanship award trophy. The sub-state road to tourney-time was at times rough and rocky. First- round action saw Mason City against Clear Lake.

Excited anticipation was the dom- inant emotion in the minds of the crowd as they watched Mason City handle Sioux City Central in opening round at state. In semifinals, Mason City met Marshalltown in a close con- test which demonstrated the fact that the last few seconds in a game are often the most crucial. Trailing by a point, the Mohawks had the ball with 30 seconds on the clock. But a deter- mined Mohawk fieldgoal effort failed, Marshalltown winning the game. In consolation, Mohawk cagers lost to last year's state champ, Daven- port West. Culminating the end of a successful season was the selection of senior guard Tony Pappas to the all- tournament first team. REBOUNDING against a St. Ansgar opponent is junior Paul Hogen, a strong defensive player for the Mohawks. H7 HANDS OUTSTRETCHED while defending his man, senior guard Alan Foster takes caution in not getting too close to his opponent. Keys for A coordination of individual talents into a unified team effort seemed to be the key for success, as the 1971- 1972 Mohawk basketball squad ended its regular season with a 10-8 mark. With only one returning letterman, Alan Foster, the rest of the Mohawk starters, including Tony Pappas, Tom Kuhn, Dennis Nettifee, and Paul Hogen, were newcomers to varsity play. Replacements for these starting five, who were often starters them- selves, included Steve Strathrnan, Jeff Peterson, Kevin Kew, and Mike Strathman. Individual abilities within the squad was the essence of Mohawk success. Senior guard Pappas was consistent in putting the Mohawks on the board with his deadly outside shot. Re- bounding was the strength of senior forward Kuhn, as his strong defense kept the opponents' scoring down. f'f' f a f'ff l '-rw,1, ,,f, 1, ,f,, , wmv y 1 -,r.. l ,,,,,.

Nettifee, a fine junior forward and center, was Mason City's inside scoring threat, maintaining a shooting percentage of 61.0 throughout regular season play. Rebounding out the five was junior forward and center Hogen, a strong rebounder who had a way with block- ing shots. Various honors highlighted the season, with Pappas named to the Big Eight's first team, Nettifee named to the second. The pair was further honored when Pappas made first team all-state and Nettifee was given honorable mention. Mason City's JV team fared a win- ning season, ending with a 15-3 mark.

Two meets were held in the indoor competition, against Charles City and Osage, and Mason City defeated both teams. In the state indoor track meet, junior Mark Johnson won the state indoor 2-mile run. Ending a successful indoor sea- son, the large Mohawk squad, con- sisting of 11 seniors, 21 juniors, and 22 sophomores, began outdoor com- petition with a total of seventeen meets scheduled. Although the team as a whole was strong, particularly strong were the 2-mile relay team of Bert Bishop, Dennis Lee, Bert Lee, and Barry Brandt, and the 2-mile run with Mark Johnson. The team anticipated a full and successful spring schedule, including the Drake Relays, the Mohawk Re- lays, district, conference, and state action.

Winning for Mason City were top players Dennis Harrington and Brad Brenton, seniors 5 and juniors Craig Harrington, Charles Fritz, and Randy Frisch. Also win- ning were the two doubles teams, composed of the top four players. The netmen looked forward to hosting the Big Eight conference meet in Mason City early in May.

Inclemeni weather delays boys golf Inclement weather, an important factor in all spring sports, seemed to be of particular consequence in the opening of the 1972 boys golf season. Five beginning meets were cancelled due to the unsuitable con- ditions of area golf courses after a cold winter and a wet spring. Top varsity players for the golf team, coached by Dick Garth, in- cluded three returning Mohawk letter- men, Lee Kasik and Al Poulos, seniors, and junior Andy Cates. Fill- ing the remaining varsity spots were sophomores Gary Kasik and Kurt Lichty. The golfers looked forward to a busy spring agenda of meets, includ- ing Big Eight, sectional, district, and state competition.

The only returning regular from last year's squad, a squad which won sectionals, district, and placed tenth at state, was junior Lydia Siefken. Besides Siefken, other top varsity players on the team included juniors Edie Sowers and Julie Kennedy, and sophomores Lori Groth, Karen Nockles, and Kathy Phalen. The girls opened their year, after a long and wet spring, with a triangular meet against East and West Waterloo. Finishing five strokes behind West, Mason City placed second.

Baseball squad has eight returning regulars On the rebound from a very suc- cessful past season, coach Elmer Starr's 1972 varsity baseball squad began its spring season strongly. In the year's first opening games, the Mohawks defeated Albert Lea 9-6 and tied with Austin Pacelli 6-6. Mason City next won against Austin 7-2, in a game which had great fielding ability in four double plays, and saw senior Steve Strathman hit a 3-run homer. With eight returning regulars, the baseball squad looked forward to a full spring and summer schedule, in- cluding district, state, and conference games. The Mohawks were the Big Eight champs in 1971, a first for Mason City since the creation of the Big Eight league. Retiring at the end of this year, coach Starr will complete a long and rewarding affiliation with the base- ball program at MCHS. Jr Girls volleyball is state runner-up Under the coaching direction of Alice Phillips, girl's physical educa- tion instructor, the girls volleyball team finished second in the mid- winter state tournament held in Des Moines. Following in the steps of the team three years ago, which was also state runner-up, the seven girl team lost to Carroll High, 15-13 and 15-12 in the finals to take second place.

Photographs of former homecoming queens led the way to the dance in the cafetorium. A bar complete with root beer for two cents a glass was at one end and manne- quins dressed in 1920 garb were posed around a piano at the other. The election of class officers was lead by one party, the Power Party , with many juniors running independ- ently: Campaigns were carried on with buttons, posters, speeches, and film slides of the elections hopefuls. The junior class was also in charge of decorating for the junior-senior prom. They helped finance the prom through magazine sales.

They provided more than enough boxes for the bonfire that warmed the crowd at the rally. Sophomore officers were: John Stockberger, presidentg Toni Di- Gregorio, vice presidentg Jill Stein- berg, secretaryg Ken Konigsmark, treasurer. Another task of these offi- cers was choosing a class ring. Orientation introduced the sopho- mores to the high school and en- couraged their participation in the school's variety of activities. It was also used for scheduling, explaining subject offerings, and pointing out areas of the building for specific study use.
