A complete program was set up for the 111 students, grades 1-5, welcomed at the Lower School last fall. Mr. Paul Osterland was named Lower School Principal. President Craig Nelson, along with the assistance of Mr. Osterland, selected six Lower School faculty members. Faculty dedication could be seen in their interest in student individualism. The student teacher ratio was 17:1. Coming from diverse backgrounds, the teachers made up a “healthy mix. The Middle School, consisting of grades 6-8, had 388 students during the 1983 school year. Cooperation between schools is important to create a helpful attitude among students. North Campus students often had the opportunity to serve by volunteering at the Lower School. Mr. Osterlund commented on the value of education at Minnehaha, “Minnehaha Academy’s reputation is outstanding, and the Lower School staff and I will do our best to continue this pursuit of excellence.

By sharing in respect for our school, we continued to show pride in numerous activities. Devotion of the 681 Upper School students to putting forth programs of superior quality, club participation, and student involvement was evident throughout the 1983 school year. Perseverance in sports was displayed successfully by athletes who diligently trained and exerted themselves. Loyalty, a faithfulness to both friends and academics, existed in and outside of school. Patience and sincerity on the part of the faculty indicated their professional dedication. It takes enthusiasm, perseverance, and loyalty to create quality and a caring attitude to sustain it. We will always have a sense of satisfaction knowing that our belief in quality was much more than a fleeting idea. 6 V r Ib'lirvr In hnlhn� inMn We Believe in • • • We Believe In Knthu� ia m 7 Time to Anticipate ‘Time Passages ' was the theme of the 1982 Homecoming on September 24. The juniors. led by class officers Annette Ryks and Adam Nyenhuis, put on the traditional program, which revolved around a defective time machine, some preppies and a few punk rockers. Nineteen eighty-two’s royalty, Kara Mjourd and Dave Erickson, assisted in passing on the cape.

The entire 1982 Royal Court made an appearance at the Homecoming football game on Saturday. The girls wore royal blue taffeta dresses and the guys wore formal tuxes. 8 llomrrommg Koiiilty Above: The 1983 Homecoming Court Middle row: Sharon Fast as our new queen.

They had pizza after pizza delivered to soothe their nerves. After some last minute rehearsals again on Friday, it seemed like there was still so much to be done, but when the lights went down and the audience was seated, with the Homecoming court in the front row, everything fell into place. The preps whirled through the “time passages” encountering character after character. The time machine carried them to the depression era and an elegant dance for the rich, just before the market fell. They watched as frantic girls screamed for Ricky Nelson in the 50's and Ricky's (Katie Norris’) parents, played by President and Mrs. Nelson, waved to the audience. They went to the time of Caesar (Marc Larson) while Brutus and the gang kept eliminating the wrong Caesar, including Theodore Cleaver. The preps knew they were home when they encountered the punks and the time machine settled back to earth. In spite of some backstage scrambles, everyone agreed that the class of 84 put on a successful program.

Saturday, October 24 was a very good day for Minnehaha's teams, they defeated all the challengers. At 11:00 the volleyball team started the winning day with a very exciting 21-19, 5-18, 18-12, victory-over Centennial. At 10:00 the JV defeated Centennial 11-18, 18-12, 18-9. Coach Forrest Dahl, at a pep fest earlier in the week urged people to come and watch the exciting game. Centennial had previously beaten Minnehaha, so this was somewhat of a grudge match. Cross-Country held its first-ever Homecoming meet at 3:00 against Breck. Both Boys and Girls teams won with Jon Clarey and Tami Hawkinson placing first from our school in their respective races. Both races finished at the north end of the football field. At half time of the football game, the team was introduced along with their parents. The Indians football team defeated Mayer Lutheran 15-13 to win their second Homecoming game in a row. The game was played at 3:00 to a standing room only crowd at the South Campus. Senior John Borstad scored a touch down and kicked a field goal. Lutheran missed a last-second field goal to put the game under wraps for the Indians. The win evened Minnehaha's record to 2-2. The soccer squad demolished Fairbault Shattock 9-0. At 12:00 the North Campus crowd was treated to a soccer spectacular. Second and third string players played most of the game. When asked about the Shattock team, one player quipped “When I first saw these guys, I thought we were playing an International team, they all spoke different languages. Maybe we won because they didn't understand each other. 12 llomrcominjc Sporl Opposite page upper right: beautiful set by Sue Underhill Below right: Teammates congratulate Robb Wilson after a nice goal.

The Photography Club's 12 student photographers and their advisor Miss Gilmore met every Tuesday at 3:00 to have a business meeting and to learn more photography techniques. Club members took picutres and worked in the darkroom during their free hours, lunch, and after school.

Activities for the year included a photo contest in January, a slide show in February and a contest for The Spirit. Being a member of the club involved more than just taking pictures. Each member first received a detailed photo assignment, rolled their own film, took the pictures, developed negatives, printed contact sheets and finally made the final print. All photo club members had to he able to do all of these steps. By-doing these, they practiced the total art of photography. Advisor Gilmore’s goal this past school year was “To learn to become the best photographer I can become by teaching others to become the best photographers they can become!” 14 Photography Club Publications Means Dedication The Publication program this year was opened up to Freshmen for the first time. The purpose was to get the younger students into the program earlier to develop their writing techniques in preparation to take over responsibilities when the upperclassmen graduate. Beginning students learn basic writing skills and layout guidelines. Publications teacher, Mrs. Elaine Ekstedt, took a leave of absence on November 15 and returned during the second semester after having her baby. Mrs. Kristi Berkland was the substitute teacher during the seven weeks when Mrs. Ekstedt was gone.

According to Chaplain Paul Johnson there should be no spectators in convocation, only participants. To accomplish this, programs were planned this year to stimulate active response from students. Some of these programs included Reverend A1 Magnuson, Dr. John Herzog, and Ken and Bonnie Fenton. Musical groups were the Northwestern College Chorale, the Minnehaha singers. Concert Band, Orchestra, and ensemble groups from orchestra, band and choir. The speaker for Spiritual Life Week, October 25-29, was Reverend Wesley Nelson. He was a pastor at Covenant Churches in Oakland, California and Chicago, Illinois, and professor of Homileics at North Park seminary. He is now a full time speaker at retreats, camps, and other special events. The basis for Reverend Nelson’s talk series for the week was “God is Good News.” Above right: Janell Colley shares her gift of singing to students in convocation Left: Reverend Paul Swanson speaks about his sabbatical Above: The spirit of convocation 16 Convocation Expanding their horizons Student government took one step forward thin year when Student Body President Senior Dan Cummings introduced a new approach to the formation of the student council. In previous years student council members were elected from each homeroom. This year, all who were interested were allowed to join. According to Dan the new arrangement was more beneficial because it eliminated those who had no interest in the program, and decreased the size of the group. Decisions were easier to make because meetings attended by those who wanted to help organize rather than those who were simply elected to their positions. Three committees were formed and meetings were held every two weeks during activity period. The Activities Committee, headed by senior Nancy Norman dealt with organizing fund raisers and events for the student body. The publicity Committee, headed by Junior Ann Vessey, was in charge of arranging adver-tisements (posters, announcements, etc.) for those events and student affairs. Grievances Committee headed by Senior Dwight Anderson, worked with the administration to solve problems of the student body. Dan fell that student government is imperative because students should start taking the initiative to plan their own activities. Me stressed the fact that student council “is a real learning experience for kids to have to lead and take responsibility. Student Council — Front row) Ann Vetsey.

The committee was run by two representatives from each homeroom and met every activity period for the past year. With Rev. Paul Johnson in charge, they discussed the spirituality of Minnehaha Academy, planned convocations, worked with Thursday morning Bible studies and more. People involved were very excited about the responsibilities they had. “It gave us a chance to have an input on what goes on here said senior member Michele Manhard. It also gave Minnehaha a chance to have a positive effect on the surrounding community by getting involved. Spiritual l.ife — Front row ) Dawn Sollie, Becky Fjtderlein.

Producing a Computer Club newspaper and raising money to buy computer equipment were just a few things that they did this past year. Three years ago the Computer Club set up the following four objectives: 1) education or learning more about computers, 2) funding or raising money various ways for the school, 3) competition, 4) fellowship. Mrs. Mattson feels good about the unity in the club because all members work together to help one another learn on the computers. Computer Club president, senior Kore Peterson, sums up his feelings about computers saying, “Computers make the world go ‘round.” Secretary treasurer, senior Jeff Klosterman reiterates this philosophy by saying, “Computers are the future.” 20 ( omputrr Club Audio Visual Crew Audio Visual Crew — Fronl row) Peter Tamte, Mr. Wendell Carlson, Dan Cummings. « (•«] NH Sound and Light Sound and Light Crew — Front Row) Rob Marales, Andy Bergstrom, Ethan Stanley Row 2) Kore Peterson, Dan Cummings, Paul Adamson, Eric Stanley Row 3) Tom Mattson, Dan Johnson, Dave Clark A.V.

A Great Change Sadie was not completely untraditional this year. All the old Sadie standbys were still there, but it was different too. One difference was it being held in Waconia. Although some got a little lost on the way, it was well worth the trip. Everyone seemed to agree it was a great change! Dancing was still the highlight of the evening and there was also plenty of food. Many marriages took place that night. Then people went either outside to roast marshmallows or to the licorice kiss. The new location and activities were a big success. Hayrides were available for anyone interested. Having an authentic atmosphere added to the fun and new ideas. Four men anxiously await their release 21 Sad i«- Tim Belval shows Jeanne Rikkers how to dance Kelly Mortenson and her date share a joke and warmth Lynn Teslow, Joy Johnson, Linda Anderson, and a friend take a rest from dancing Sadie 25 A New Twist The German Club’s annual initiation had a new twist to it this year. Not only did the 'initiates have to count and recite dialogues in German, they were auctioned off as slaves by free hour. The initiates had to do such things as singing to a full Campus Hoorn and yodel. A movie night with Psyco and Kiss of the Vampire was also sponsored by the German Club for both members and non-members. A bratwurst dinner. Bavarian costumes and folk-gaming were all part of the German Oktoberfest, which was held in the gym and campus room. The students who attended enjoyed traditional German food, dress and dancing. Saint Nikolaus visited and brought candy to the German class on December 6. Later after school the German students interested sang German Christmas Carols and exchanged presents and ate refreshments. On German Day the students dressed in their Bavarian Costumes, went to the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre for lunch and to watch skits performed by younger students.

This year, however, after tin-collapse of the International Club, Spanish students decided it was time for a new approach. Seniors Tammy Cross and Kristi Gyllenblad served together as president with senior Traci Gordon as secretary and sophomore Eric Knobel as treasurer. Activities included a taco initiation dinner and a North Stars game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on November 26.

The most popular activity was the celebration of Mardi Gras, which means ‘'Fat Tuesday. On this day. the French class made a variety of crepes that were purchased for a nominal fee. In January the class celebrated Fete des 3 Rois, which means Feast of the Kings . Croissants were given to all the students. A white bean was hidden in one of the croissants and the person who found the bean was made King or Queen of the class. Peter Ilalvorson had the good fortune of finding the bean; he became king, and then chose Ann Vessey as his Queen.

Sophomores Jenny Palmquist, Lisa Carlson, and senior Jill Griepp were her attendants. A traditional breakfast was served. Another successful event was Swedish day. Students took a trip to the Swedish Institute and a Swedish restaurant in Minneapolis.

Junior Tanti Hawkinson perturbed because her studying has been interrupted. Sno Daze was planned and organized by senior class officers Beth Holmgren and Kathy Holum. Held during the beginning of second semester, Sno Daze broke the dullness of our long Minnesota w inter. This wacky week was planned to pump up Minnehaha students pep and school hurrah during February 7 thru February 11. The week began with the selling of Sno Daze buttons designed by senior Steve Nagel, and the showing of “Raiders of the Lost Ark. The theme of Sno Daze 1983 was “Danger too Funny.’ It was designed for those who were daring enough to get into mix match clothing, grubby sweats and national defense uniforms. The popular broomball tournaments were also a success. The champion team, Flook City Arizona, helped sustain the competitive spirit throughout the week. Events were topped off with a performance put on by the senior class. Senior Dan Dyke: I.uke Skywalker Danger too Funny Sno Due 3 C.S.L.S.

This year Minnehaha's speech team, led by-head coach Tracey Gilmore, participated in seven tournaments at various colleges and high schools throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin. Assistant coaches included Patsy Miller, Debbie Fondell, Barb Olson, and Janet Johnson. These women also served as judges at various invitational tournaments. Thirteen different categories are used in speech competition. Minnehaha's team focused on five of those categories: Original Oratory, a persuasive speech which may or may not have used a problem solution format; Poetry Interpretation, Prose Interpretation, and Humorous Interpretation, all three involved a speech on the appropriate published material; and Extemporaneous Speaking, which involved creating a speech from a current topic found in Time. Newsweek, or U S. News. Practices were independently arranged meetings between the competitor and his her coach. Member junior Lisa Clark commented that in competition, “It’s up to you to do a good job because you can't count on other teammates. She enjoyed the aspect of individuality she experienced in speech competition.

He recalls names and faces thoughtfully eager students, talented musicians, friends, and colleagues. Mr. Opel has done many things before and during his employment at the Academy. His musical training has been extensive. He has conducted choirs since high school and has studied under renowned musicians both here and abroad. Besides being a musician, Mr. Opel has been a high ranking officer in WWII, a forest ranger, a chemical engineer for Sherwin-Williams in Chicago, and most importantly a husband and a father. According to Mr. Opel, one of the things that hasn't changed at Minnehaha is the high value of the students. “The values change,” he says, “but they’ve always been high.” Another thing that has remained the same is the quality of education available to Minnehaha students. “It’s there if they want it,” Mr. Opel said. The idea of learning, reforming, and becoming a better individual through correction are very important to Mr. Opel. He earnestly wants to help people learn to appreciate good music, because he feels it can greatly enrich one’s life. He feels that basically his students have grasped what he has tried to get across. Though certain individuals stand out, he doesn't think it is his right to determine whether he has been successful in achieving his goals. The coniraderie between departments, the privilege to develop one’s own curriculum, and the ability to do fine choral music are just a few of the things Mr. Opel has liked about teaching at Minnehaha. Though Mr. Opel is not new to teaching and doesn’t have plans for change in the classroom, he’s looking forward for ways to be a better, more effective teacher. He flashes that familiar grin when he says, “I don’t like looking backward. I like looking forward.” 34 Hurry Oprl Quality Teachers Mr. Willis Olson Mr. Willis Olson is a very special teacher. This is his 28th year as Minnehaha's sophomore biology teacher. He was asked to teach at Minnehaha in 1953 and has taught here ever since, except for a sabbatical to North Park Seminary in Chicago in 1969-70. He has also taught chemistry and German. After serving as a minister at several Covenant churches, he decided to teach at a Covenant school. When asked why he enjoys teaching, he replied, “I like kids a lot and feel it's important to teach them as best I can. I also like the Christian emphasis of the school. ' Over the years, he feels kids haven't changed, although the culture of the kids has. He has two daughters, Joan and Nancy, who arc both married. He also has four grandchildren.

Spending time each morning to carefully select the proper attire, he has a secret feeling of satisfaction as he struts down the hallway. He thinks he is a male model.

Skippy. and Happy are not common here, hut the term preppy and what it stands for is everything to Minnehaha students. It's hard not to be preppy when pink and green dot up the school like a piece of watermelon without a home. Preppies' favorite day is the first day of school when they can greet their friends with a smile. Preps are social, friendly, and conscientious. Their favorite activities include tennis, or racketball at the club, gabbing on the phone, and visiting people. Prep like sporting events because after they can go eat their favorite food pizza.

Keith knew that the only way to really serve the Lord was to let Him be in complete control, lie made all his l elongings open to all who were in need. Because of his and Melody's openness and willingness to help others, many times they were taken advantage of. even being robbed. This was only the start and basis of what we know now as Last Days New Ministry.

Harry Opel Singing For God’s Glory Mr. Harry Opel, Minnehaha Academy Choir Director said, “I really enjoy teaching at Minnehaha.” The main reason he teaches choir is because he enjoys singing himself, and he likes to help kids improve their singing ability. He says he likes to see them develop from not knowing basic vocal skills to the point where they can really sing. Each student was required to do two concert reports per semester, two which could be simul-cast and two which had to be live. The reports were a major part of their grade. Mr. Opel reads each report word for word. When asked, many kids responded that they enjoy singing in choir because they learn responsibility and quality singing technique. •46 Singer Mixed Choir — Front row) Charlotte Johnson, Carolee Buroker.

Demonstrating Unique Style Minnehaha Academy is known for its strong music department. One of the branches of this department is the band program. “The goal of the bands,' says director Jon Larson, “is to develop and direct God given talents and an appreciation for a variety of styles of music in each student. The hands were involved in a variety of styles of music in each student. The bands were involved in a variety of events this year, including Fall Concert, Winter Concert, and Pop Concert. The Student Recital, an addition to the band schedule this year, gave students the opportunity to display their talents through solos, duets, and ensembles. How do the students feel about band? The following members of the Varsity and Concert bands speak for the majority of the people involved in the band program: Senior Dave Shirley: “I like being in band for many reasons, but the one that sticks out in my mind is that it gives me another way to expand my horizons. Senior Kathy Holum: “Jon Larsen goes beyond just playing music; he communicates through it. It's nice to be a part of that. Senior Dave Geary: “I enjoy band because I like to play my instrument and I enjoy all the fun and friendships in band. Senior Roz Paterson: “I'm in band because I like to play my clarinet, and we all like Jon Larson. He makes all the hours of practicing worthwhile. He is a very good director and a special friend to everyone in the band. Sophomore Chris I,arson: “I am in band because I love the musical at mosphere. When I come in the door, I don't say, 0h shoot, another boring class.' No. I say, ‘All right, where do we start?' It is really a fun class. The director is a great, funny guy. I personally think everyone in the w hole school should join band.” Junior Holly Szezech: “I like band a lot. I've learned many things this year. I joined because I love to play the flute. It's hard work, but it's fun. Our band was best on concert nights when everyone was concentrating and working hard. The Varsity and Concert Stage Bands were two small ensembles selected from Varsity and Concert Band. According to director Jon Larson, the purpose of these ensembles was to “broaden the scope of musical exposure into an area of complex rhythm and harmonies, allowing opportunity for solo improvisation. •18 Ounrrrl Hand Varsity Band — Front How) David Posavad, Mary Sullivan, Karen Cegema, I.aura Jacobsen, Tim Johnson, Tim Brunette, Jeff Olson.

Director Jon Larson, who has taught at Minnehaha a total of seven years, says pro’dly, “Orchestra is finally coming into its own at Minnehaha Academy as a legitimate performing organization. The thirty-one member orchestra consists of freshmen through seniors who all play for various reasons. Freshman Kris Carlson, who plays the viola, plays duets with her brother, John Carlson, in competition. Senior Dan Veldt, who has been playing the string bass for eight years, said his 4th grade class had to watch an orchestra demonstration. From then on Dan knew that he “didn't want to play anything small I wanted the biggest instrument they had. Dan also plays the electric string bass for a group called, “Ransom. He says that lie enjoys playing because it's “entertaining and fun. Sophomore violinist Mark Salisbury plays in orchestra because, “You do more; I mean it's not the everyday run of the mill subject. He enjoys playing and perhaps would like to play in college. As a long range goal. Mark thinks he might like to be a conductor. Jon Larson, the conductor, a highly thought of member of the orchestra. One student said, “He's great, and he gets along with and understands kids. Another student commented. “Jon is easy to talk to and he’s very patient . . . He’s a really good teach and he knows his stuff. The orchestra, called the Minnehaha players, has performed at the Minnehaha Fellowship Banquet. They also gave four on-campus concerts and three performances while on tour. Jon Larson is looking positively towards the years to come. 50 Orrhcsira Concert Band Stage Band — Front row) Director Jon Larson, Paul Freed land. Row 2) Rob Morales, Nils Bunde.

This is the viewpoint of art teacher Mr. Nordstrom. Students of all grades take art for 1 to 4 years. Students spend a lot of time on perspective, which includes drawing sidewalks and hallways, painting scenery and still-life objects, and working with clay. Grades are given on the basis of consistency and the quality of the work. m t- Upper right: Tom Whitehead drawing diligently Kight: Peter Lindahl let the shavings fly Above: Stewart Hansen and Peter Lindahl share a joke in shop 52 An Far left: Lisa Zell and friend busy in ihe kitchen Near left: A creative hand at work Mrs. Westerdahl and Lynn Teslow and Dana Lindgren consulting in Home Ec. Practical Arts “What do you call those egg shaped bumps on the cam shaft? . . . “Lobes. This was a common question asked by students in the Small Gas Engines class taught by Mr. Jim Erickson. Students learned about all the different kinds of small engines. Mr. Erickson also taught Wood classes, in which Wood I students learned how to use hand tools, and Wood II students learned how to work with machines. Cabinet Making was a supervised workshop in which the students were required to do a certain amount of work, but could choose what they wanted to make. Mr. Curt Bjorlin part time teacher Basic Drafting I and II. In Drafting I, students worked on mechanical, multi view, and pictorial drawing. They also studied architecture by designing a cabin.

Before the season began the players vowed to be competitive in every contest. The 55-0 loss to Brooklyn Center the year before left a very bad taste in the mouths of every returning letterman. Although every goal was not met, Minnehaha definitely played well. The season begain in Watertown with a 7-0 defeat. The first official Tri-Metro game ended with a surprising 20-0 loss to Blake. Although the score was lopsided, Minnehaha was not set back by this loss. The next weekend brought Homecoming with Minnehaha taking a thrilling victory from Mayer-Lutheran. A failing field-goal preserved the victory in the final seconds. During the next two weeks the Indians took two hard losses; first to Centennial (21-24), in which they also lost Captain Bob Larson to a knee injury, and then the team lost to Mahtomedi (14-7). At Centennial, the Chiefs took an early lead only to have the Indians come fighting back. Against Mahtomedi the Indians scored first, but never scored again against the tough Mahtomedi defense. The next week the team traveled to St. Anthony to play in front of a Homecoming crowd that included alumni from the previous 20 years. Despite this great crowd, the Indians defeated the Huskies (22-21) in even battle. Ending the season was a Brooklyn Center game. The Centaurs were victorious (35-21), but the game in no way resembled last year’s contest. The Indians overall played an evenly matched game, and had a very good season. Football 57 Senior Dennis Guldseth makes a save Maintaining an Outstanding Reputation Coach Guido Kauls said, “We had a young team but we surprised a lot of other teams with our hustle. With a record of 11-6-4 the Varsity soccer team had another successful season. • Suffering from injuries, the team started with their first line in only-one game. The season began slowly with Minnehaha losing their first two games in the Sibley tournament. However, the team then bounced back and tied Washburn,, the number one ranked team in the state, one to one. The team continued to play well and ended the season in the second round of regions tournament losing to Southwest. Next year’s captains will be Mike Choinski, Tony Brown, and John Engstrom. Mike Choinski was also named to the all conference team. Assistant coach Mark Anderson summed up the season by saying, “all we asked from the team was that they give 100% and I feel they all have.” 58 Soccer Soccer 59 Making a success Varsity volleyball players displayed awesome abilities this year as they ended the season with a 7-8 overall record, 6-4 conference record, and placed third in their conference. To glorify God in all that they did was the main goal of the team. Senior and cocaptain, Sue Underhill commented, ‘I don't think we really accomplished this goal at first. We became too self-centered and concerned about our individual playing. After awhile we realized what was happening and began to put our priorities hack in order.” Mahtomedi, the team rated second in conference, was defeated in the last game of the season 2-1. According to Coach Forrest Dahl, the team played their all time best at this game, and he felt that it was an appropriate way to end the season. Senior Vicki Ruud felt that overall the season was rewarding and added, “We learned to push ourselves harder than we thought possible, and realized that our mental attitude, as well as our abilities, affected our performance. When we finally got it together, we were awesome!” Senior Beth Holmgren lakes a scoop Coach Forrest Dahl cheers his team on 60 Volleyball Junior Beth Olfelt, goes for a smash Senior Sue I nderhill sets the ball Tina McCombs goes for a set Yoll.-st.iill 61 Sarah Bullard sets up for a serve.

There were 12 players on the varsity team and the top 11 players were all juniors and sophomores, since most varsity letter winners graduated last year. Captain Caroline Cochran expects to have a great season next year with a year of experience under their belt. Junior Sarah Bullard holds the best record for the team and should be strong in the year to come. The second ranked doubles team, made up of sophomores Ann Jaehnert and Lisa Lundin, made it to the ail conference tournament this year. The team had an overall record of 5-8. Molly Larson makes a graceful move. 62 Tennis Accomplishing Goals Junior Tim Bntdorf toward a finish finish in the conference (3rd) than in previous years. Hard work paid off as evidenced in the improvement of individual times. John Clarey achieved All Conference, and 9th place in districts, while Tami Hawkinson made Honorable Mention in Conference, and got 11th in Districts. The loss of senior strength will be felt next year, but practices will begin early in the summer to get runners in shape for September. Accomplishment of individual goals made the 1982 Cross Country season successful, and the team is looking forward to an even better season next year. Coach David Lindmark said, “If we can get a few more junior high kids out and add a few more girls to our team, Minnehaha will have a very fine Cross Country program.“ Senior Brain Larson properly poses In-fore a cross country meet Freshman Doug Cross keeps at it “I like to run Cross Country. said sophomore Jon Clarey when asked what he thought of this challenging sport. The 1982 Cross Country team went through the season in high spirits. “You have to convince yourself that running is fun in order to have the motivation to run six or more miles a day. When that is accomplished. you've become a runner, and you begin to enjoy what you're doing, commented junior Tami Hawkinson. As the season progressed runners plodded through rain, mud, wind, cold temperatures, and finally snow. This only served to pull members into a small, but unified group. One team goal was to show others that running to glorify God really does make them different from other teams. Another attained goal was a higher Junior Tami Hawkinson finishes easily I'row Country 63 Cheerleaders support Neither rain nor sleet could keep M.A. cheerleaders from showing their school spirit in support of fall and winter athletics. This year's cheerleading squads feel that “dedicated is the word that best describes their efforts. Their artistic signs adorned the halls and lured fans away to games both here and away and it was there that they kept fans involved in cheering on the team. All squads feel accomplished by-maintaining a deep sense of unity that endured throughout the seasons.

The team was head coached by Peter Hoover and assisted by former Minnehaha ski team member. Tim Frantzich. Anne Lone, a senior who has had previous rac-ing experience in Norway, commented, “The team had unity and was very supportive of each other. Although in past years the ski team had been “overshadowed by many other sports according to Paul Frantzich, “the response this year was exceptional. The team’s goals were to mainly have fun and improve their skills. “One reason I joined,” continued Paul, “was because it was a Minnehaha team that really had the capability to succeed. The team practiced twice a week at Buck Hill in Bum ville.

For those who attended Minnehaha's hockey games, hustle and determination was exactly what was seen. With only four seniors on the team and the loss of eight members of the 1981-82 team, their goal was set for a .500 season. The team did as well as expected. Looking up to the four senior captains, John Borstad. Jim Verdoorn, Kohb Wilson, and Kurt Kosdahl. the team found the leadership and confidence they needed. One of the younger team members. Tad Gullickson commented on the promising season, “Although we were a young team with only nine returning lettermen, we did well against tough opposition.

A hard fought, close won victory against tough DcLaSalle at the starl of the season characterized the enthusiastic attitude of the team throughout the whole year. “We are generally quick, smart ball-players. We didn't have fantastic shooters, but by playing smart we won a lot of games,” G ach Gary Leafblad commented. Mr. Leafhlud also felt that the team possessed a large amount of maturity and spirit. The team was strengthened by the return of eight varsity members including team captain Kathy Holum.

CirU Ka.knball 69 Achieving Unity The Minnehaha Academy hoys basketball team worked diligently to make a high caliber season.

The squad was helped out by the addition of seniors Pete Lindahl and Darren MoKellin. The team had a rough start at the beginning of the year because of forfeits.

The Club's leader. Mr. David landmark, was happy to see the snow, which was vital to the existence of the club. Artificial snow can't be made for cross country skiing. This year members had plenty of fun. although there were times when the idea of going home sounded better than skiing. Here are sonic of those cases: looking for Kilter Farm, skiing in the dark. R.B. having “one of those days. and “skiing” at the Minnesota Zoo. Throughout the season members worked on improving their skills in the various areas of cross country skiing. They learned how to use their skis properly. how to ski correctly, and how to climh hills. Along with increased skill came the enjoyment of being able to ski anywhere, whether it In- on the Mississippi River bank or in the cold north woods. Challenging the slopes A reeortl number of students participated in the ski club this year. Three times a month approximately 160 of the 330 members, grades 6-12. boarded the school buses and headed out to Afton Alps for .� anti 1 2 hours of skiing. Members varied in talent from never having been on skis to having been challenging the slopes since the age of four. Beginners were required to take three lessons before skiing by themselves, hut found that being a part of the ski club made economic sense all around. Thanks to Mr. Brian Peterman. approximately 10 hours of paper work, such as registration and bus lists, was saved each week by computerizing all this for the first time. There were as many student injuries this season as in the previous 10 years put together; five within the first four weeks. .Nevertheless, chaperones anti skiiers alike said they enjoyed the club this year, and had fun with it. Weather and snow were almost always favorable. Especially enjoyable was the trip up to Spirit Mountain in Duluth, and the time the traitor unhitched from the bus anti flew into a ditch.

Kathy, her parents, and her brother Terry left Saturday, March 27, 1982 (and arrived at Copenhagen, Denmark after a 1 2 hour airplane ride. After a 15 minute layover in Denmark they hoarded their plane and 20 minutes later were in Hamburg, Germany. From the airport Kathy and her family traveled south to Gottingen. Kathy's father is a professor of chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota. He was on a quarterly leave from his teaching, enabling him to study-chemical engineering at the University of Gottingen. Kathy went to a German school called the Max-Planek Gymnasium. April 21 was her first day of school and also her 14th birthday. She was surprised at the friendly people at her school. “People over there are treated as equals. School. Monday-through Friday, lasted from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.nt. On Saturday it went from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. School ended June 28. She traveled during and after school had ended. Kathy took a bus tour of East Berlin. She was very much aware of the communistic atmosphere. “Going into East Germany is an experience you'll never forget.” The guards weren't unfriendly, but cautious of foreigners. Before the bus left, the guards checked under the bus to make sure no one was hiding underneath trying to illegally- escape. Her family went on to Munich, which Kathy said was hot and muggy. Kathy saw Anne Frank's house in the Netherlands. Traveling on to Germany , she saw the walled city of Hothenburg ob der Tauber. Also in Germany was the Dachau concentration camp used during World War II. This prison camp was one of the first concentration camps to be built in Germany. There she saw the gas chambers, ovens, hanging posts and other means of torturing and killing prisoners. “No one ever realizes how horrible- it really was until they've been there.” Kathy's favorite place was Rhanda, Switzerland. Her family rented a chalet. At 6:00 a.m. her family took a train to Zermatt. There they took cable cars to the top of a glacier and skied down. When back in Salzburg, Austria, Kathy saw Mozart’s house and took a four hour Sound of Music tour. Kathy returned to Gottingen, Hamburg and finally, on August 1. flew back to the United States.

But especially the cell. A cell going through mitosis seems like fiction, yet it is fact; What a thrill to study this vital act. A cell's exciting life is carefully studied at each stage; These phenomenal steps are such a separate phase. Shortly after birth the cell enters the first stage; This infantile state is known as the interphase. The prophase is next then the cell becomes a young man; It goes through adolescence It’s chromosomes are like worms in a can. Now the chromosomes line up at the center of the cell; Metaphase is here — everything is swell. Anaphase approaches, the chromosomes come apart. They form two jagged lines; It’s like a broken heart. The chromosomes continue to separate the gap grows even more vast; Telcphase is here two cells they shall become at last Caralee Buroker Brian Carlson DeeAnn Carlson Jeffrey Carlson Lisa Carlson Tom Carlson Charles Carpenter John Clarey Liesl Crichton Jason Crocker Frederick Dawe Kim Dinh Joseph Doran Andrew Dorsey Patrick Dougan Julie Durr Richard Edin John Eclkcma Rebecca Enderlein Jan Engels Stephan Fenton Jenny Finden Susan Foreman Paul Frantzich Sarah Fugclstad Sophomore 105 Geoffery Gage Anne Gamble Kristen Gardner Lee Gemlich Matthew Gillmer John Gislason Sarah Glew Kelli Greener Kristin Greener Kyle Groves Shelly Grupp David Gustafson Birgitte Haagenson Tami Iialtli Murray Harrison Theodore Hauser John Hay Sarah Helseth Mark Hiegel Karyn Hill Richard Hofstad John Holmberg Heidi Holmquist John Hyde Laura Jacobson 106 Sophomores Ann Jaehnert Kurt Jaskowiak Charlotte Johnson Daniel Johnson Erick Johnson Garry Johnson Karen Johnson Karl Johnson Kirsten Johnson Timothy Johnson Corey Jones Gregory Kangas Angela Kellol Julie Kistler Thomas Kleven Eric Knobel Dean Krumpelmann Dieter Krumpelman Jeanne I iRorde Christopher I rson Maren Larson Molly Larson Deborah Law Pauline Lee Aaron LcVesacur Sophomores 107 James Lindahl Laurie Lindbcrg Ann Lindsrtom Melinda Lundeen Lisa Lundin Kurt Lyslo Daryl MacLean Kevin Magnuson Andrew Mauro Valerie McKay Korrine Merwin Joel Michelson Daniel Miller Steven Miller Christopher Mooibroek Robert Morton Scott Nagel Jill Nelson Julie Nelson Rodney Melson Pamela Nordwall Heather Odland Karen Oegcma Jeffery Olson Kathryn Olson 108 Sophomores Karon Ondercin Ethan Osland Jennifer Palmquist David Parod Tom Parramore JeAnne Pederson Brett Peterson Susan Pierson Julie Pope David Posavad Robert Ramsay Steven Redeske Edmond Rice Jim Riley Todd Rocbken Benjamin Roufs Suzanne Roy Stephen Ryding Mark Salisbury Peter Samsel Dana Sando Steven Schmitz PaulSchons Sue Schwab Leah Schwartz Sophomore 109 Paige Sewall Sandra Shibrowski William Sliirl« y John Showers Patrick Shut!

Patrick came to Minnesota from Leeds, Kngland where he lived for five years. He was horn in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. He started playing soccer when he was six and has been playing ever since. Last year he played on the junior professional team in England. His season started slowly this fall because of an ankle injury. Five foot eight inches, 140 lbs.. Patrick describes himself as a “good” soccer player and considers professional soccer as a career possibility. Soccer is great, but Patrick likes rugby even more. He started playing when he was twelve years old and played for only three years when he was chosen to play for the Koundbay team. Besides being active in soccer an rugby, Patrick runs, bikes, and lifts weights. Snow skiing and ice skating are his most recent challenges. To keep up his highly energetic schedule, Patrick has adopted the typical American teenager's diet of pizza and ice cream. Music by The Who, The Police, The Jam and I)uran Duran are his favorites. His general attitude towards life in America is positive. I 10 Sophomore Eric Week Heidi Wentxel Douglas Wilde Mark Wilkcning I.iM-ami Wright Thomas Wright Craig Young Ram Zimmerman Kathy llauM-mann Garry Johnson Some people walk down Minnehaha Academy's hallways frowning. Others show no facial expression whatsoever. Some even carry a look of indifference while passing from class to class. Luckily there are also students who seem to wear an endless smile on their lips. They keep the school alive even on dreary, cold days filled with dreaded Biology exams. One such person is sophomore Garry Johnson. “It's my duty and purpose to he there in the hallways making the day more bearable for others,'' said Garry. “We're the salt of the earth, and part of being a good Christian includes sprinkling some of God's salt, he added. Garry spent a large amount of last summer trying to spread some of that salt. He passed many an hour in downtown Minneapolis talking to inner city teenagers about God. “These people admitted to rebelling against their families by running wild at parties. They were angry that they had problems and had grown bitter about the general state of the world. But they were smart. Some asked me, “How can God let this bad stuff happen to me?” Life is tough. But God isn't in the business of changing situations. He’s out to change people into strong and useful individuals.” Garry said some people truly responded to his talks; others pretended to agree with him; and some thought he was naive. Last summer Garry learned many things about his own limitations in dealing with God, but most importantly he became God's instrument. “In June I thought myself to be the self-reliant, ideal image of Christianity. By August I had learned a valuable lesson, the necessity of being dependent on God to guide me through life,” Garry concluded. Besides providing a smile in the Minnehaha hallways, and sharing God's word with others Garry is also an active member in two Bible study groups and at church takes on the responsibility of making the new-junior high members feel welcome.

They have cried at the thought of it and very few survivors are even able to think about it, much less describe the many sleepless nights which preceed the event. The 1982-83 juniors though had a ray of hope, for this monumental task was only awaiting one third of them — two thirds would escape this assignment and the fearless general who issues it. This man is not in the ordinary mold. His commanding voice and sturdy, upright walk intimidate even football players. It used to be that every junior had to go through his class, but this year American History was divided among three teachers and the famed “Presentation’ tradition was carried on only by this one, bold teacher. Students chose a topic from the Civil War era, including plantation life, weapons, and famous battles. Biographies on people such as Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas were also popular.

Concert band, and of all these tennis is her favorite. That interest started in 6th grade. Tennis is a lifestyle for Sarah. She tries to play as long as possible during school days, indoors in winter, and every day during the summer. She takes lessons from a professional and plays with her friends during vacation. She has the best over-all record of the team,” said Mr. Harvey Lundin, Sarah's tennis coach and math teacher. He also pointed out that Sarah is a good math student and that is necessary to be a good tennis player. It takes lots of mental aspects to play good tennis . . . Sarah is aggressive, consistent, self-disciplined, and serves well, rarely making mistakes. “I like people here at Minnehaha, said Sarah, “and the friendly atmosphere, and opportunity of having closer friends.” Sarah's future plans include possibly going to college at Gustavus and setting aside tennis as a hobby. Tennis courts and plenty of snow would make Sarah peacefully content anywhere she decides to live.

We’ve finally reached our uppermost goal at Minnehaha Academy; we’ve become seniors. The coveted senior hall now belongs to us. All the special things we have waited for are here. We are officially seniors. Our class has been named many things “The rowdiest class,” “the class with the most spirit,” “the class with the most unity,” etc. Almost everyone agrees there is something special about our class. There is something that makes us unique from all other classes. Whatever it is, we’ve made our mark on Minnehaha. Our time at Minnehaha seems to have flown by. It wasn't long ago that we were all coming for the first time. We all remember our first sadie and botany projects and Dave Shirley getting his license. Then, late night homecoming practices and dates. And the invention of the video party. Remember buying the perfect JS dress or renting a tux? Then our senior year — sitting in the first rows during convocation . .. Admiring Beth Karges, Jeanne Rikkers, and Janell Gilley’s locker .. . Picking homecoming candidates ... Seeing your friends up there .. . Sadie in the barn . .. Preparing college applications ... Visiting colleges .. . Spring break trips .. . Our last J.S. banquet. .. All of these things contributed to our growth at Minnehaha. We’ll remember them with happiness and a little sadness at leaving it all. We’ve grown up together. We’ve shared the hurt and the fun. Through it all we've stuck together and now we must go our own separate ways. But the friendships we've made will stay in our hearts forever.

His friends call him ‘DooogM but to the rest of us his name is Doug Brailhwaite. Doug is about 6' tall with black hair. hi like to work with my hands,' Doug said. Working with cars isn't unusual because his father owns a body shop and his brother is also a mechanic. Doug's brother is the one responsible for getting Doug interest in cars. Doug was six when he first drove a car, and ten when he first drove a truck. Both times his brother encouraged Doug to drive the vehicle. Doug also got interested in cars by watching his brother fix cars. Doug was encouraged verbally to do mechanical work, but it was through experiences and observation that he learned how to fix cars. In the future Doug isn't planning a career in auto mechanics. He plans to attend the U of M Wesseca majoring in agriculture. He hopes to become a farmer, with auto mechanics being only a hobby. ) Senior A Cultural Summer Bonnie Haggenson had the unique experience this past summer of spending two exciting weeks in a “foreign country, right here in Minnesota. The foreign country was Skovsen, the Danish Language camp sponsored by Concordia College. Translated Lake of the Woods, Skovsen “Does a wonderful job of representing the Danish culture, says Bonnie. “They celebrate the Danish holidays, use Danish money, and Danish names. They taught you how the Danish really live. Bonnie's mother was brought up in Denmark, so Bonnie is especially interested in her own Danish background. Bonnie feels, “It's really important to learn your heritage and keep the traditional customs going otherwise they're going to die. I hat is one reason I went to camp. Bonnie's family plans to visit Denmark again this summer. Bonnie feels the language camps are a good place to get away. “It's like you're in a little community all on its own no news, no one comes or goes. You're almost in Denmark. What Bonnie likes most about the Danish lifestyle is that it's so much more relaxed. It's a lot less strict and structured than the American way of life. But of course. she added, “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Powell. Elizabeth Pugh, Donna Regehr.

Robin Stanley, Eric Senior Drew Peterson enjoys music to a great extent, yet Drew has a talent that goes far beyond that of a listener. Drew plays both the electric and classical guitar. When asked if he thought he had a unique talent he modestly replied, “I guess you could call it that. For approximately five months Drew took professional lessons. However Drew has progressed by teaching himself to play. Drew has played with Jeff Moen at Son Summit on occasion. Because Drew enjoys a variety of music styles, he is beginning to learn various classical, country, and jazz pieces. Realizing that music is an extremely competitive field Drew hasn't yet decided whether to pursue it as a career. Drew said that he would surely leave doors open though, because he feels that it would be the ideal job to be paid to do something that he thoroughly enjoys. Torkebon.

Sharon Birkchak went to Youth With A Mission with her parents to Hawaii. Her parents attended a Crossroads Discipleship Training School there, which is a three month intensive training session to learn to know God better. For the last three summers Sharon has gone to Acts II, a high school age intensive training camp. Two of these were in Hawaii, one was in Wisconsin. One thing she remembers from this leadership camp in Hawaii is when she and Nathan Pederson, who graduated last year, were praying and witnessing in the streets and saw a young Hawaiian girl. They talked to her and found that she was a Christian, but she told them she needed to Ik witnessed to. She showed her appreciation by treating them to pizza, a large gift for someone very poor. Sharon's father found out about YWAM in 1974 and went to Hawaii to meet YWAM’s founder Loren Cunningham. YWAM has bases all over the world. Sharon's parents in the summer of 1982 spent three weeks in Korea. Next fall Sharon is thinking about going through a three month training program with YWAM in Texas. This would prepare her for a three month outreach. Sharon said her experiences were exciting and have greatly influenced her life. If all goes as planned for the future, she'll be devoting some time and hard work to YWAM and the people they help. 134 feature Desire for Spiritual Growth Senior Jim Bear spent the summer of 1982 playing the drums with a musical group known as the Continental Singers. Part of Continental Ministries, based in Thousand Oaks, California, each summer this Christian group travels through parts of the United States ami Europe ministering through music. Jim arrived at Campus Crusade Headquarters, formerly Elizabeth Taylor’s mansion, in San Bernadio, California, on June 7. Along with the group, he spent 10 days rehearsing, attending seminars, and being entertained by people such as Ann Kiemal, Saudi Patti. John Fischer, the Ilawaiians. and others. Jim played his first concert with the Continental Singers on June 17, in Anza, California and spent the following four weeks touring parts of the United States. On July 13, he and the group flew out of New York and headed for Amsterdam, Holland. During Jim’s two and a half week stay in Europe, he performed in Holland, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. He left Europe June 29, toured parts of the United States for three weeks, arriving home on August 27. Jim feels that one of the musical highlights of the tour oeoured at Mini Finale in Rotterdam, Holland. The concert was miked for radio in an orchestra hall with 5000 people in attendance. Another highlight was the Finale Concert held in Robert Schuller’s Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California. Before touring with the Continental Singers, Jim had been playing drums for eleven years. He had played in the Minnehaha bands since 9th grade and is presently in the concert band and the concert band stage band. Jim also toured with the Spirit of la� ve, a local Christian group, during previous summers. When asked what motivated him to join the Continentals. Jim answered. “I wanted to expand my musical horizons, to grow spiritually, mentally, and to travel.” He certainly did that! “Every day was a spiritual ex-perience,” Jim said. One of the greatest experiences for Jim was having prayer partners. “It was neat to have someone who would listen to your needs and pray for them.” he said. Another thing Jim appreciated was being disciplined to a regular quiet time. Overall the summer’s spiritual experience had a positive effect on him. Jim remarked. “I’ve had a new desire for spiritual growth.” Jim plans to play the drums with the Continental Singers in Jamica during the summer of 1983. He has been asked to return as Assistant Director of the group in the summer of 1984. In the future, Jim hopes to get into the fifty piece Continental Orchestra. Feature 135 K. O. and Zon, a Special Friend Not everyone can temporarily escape the problems of life by jumping on an Arabian horse, but for senior Kari Oppegard this is not unusual. Kari has had her horse, Zoneynn, for nearly 10 years. He is hoarded about four miles from Kari's home on a friend's farm. This makes it possible to visit her almost every day. Kari gets a lot of satisfaction out of riding. She has always loved horses and riding, hut she also loves the freedom that comes from getting on a horse's hack. Also a special feeling of accomplishment comes out of seeing the horse respond easily to her command. “Compliments are always fun to get too. Kari admitted. But taking care of a horse also takes a lot of time and hard work. She has to sacrifice time for brushing, feeding, and taking care of her horse. Kari has always been interested in horses. Her father originally bought the horse for the family, but it eventually became Kari's since the rest of the family doesn’t have much interest in horses. Kari's horse had been trained for timed events like barrel racing, hut after an accident she was unable to ever run competitively again. But this summer Kari has been breaking and training another horse that is kept on the farm with her horse. Kari plans to go on to college and possibly major in foods and animal science. After college she would like to live on a farm and raise horses. 136 Fralurf Kent Treichel concent rale on his speech Dan Cummings grins for the photo-grapher Looking Back Birk and Bun . . . mini-skirts . ..

The painting in the main hall of North Campus was given to us by the painter. Our motto, created long ago, “Where Youth Meets Truth”, directs us as does this picture to Jesus Christ, who said of himself, “I am the way, the truth and the life ...” As your student years at Minnehaha end, it is our prayer that the knowledge you have acquired here will help you meet life’s demands.

Imagination, creativity, and a sense of the bizarre brought new ideas which were accepted, and changes were made. The goal of the staff was to set new standards. Feature stories, survey, and a fashion section were added to the Antler. New layout designs were tried and more copy was added. Despite countless late nights spent in the publications room, the year was exciting for everyone who helped create the 1983 Antler. It was an unforgettable learning experience for all. Being on yearbook staff is an opportunity for creativity. All your deepest thoughts can be expressed in some particular way. Sustaining quality is a hard task in any situation. Taking risks can sometimes be even more difficult. I hope the staff will continue to make changes to increase quality in the yearbook. Good luck to the 1984 Antler staff create your own memories and valuable experiences! Lori Benshoof Senior Nancy Norman picking photos for the book 156 Publication With Mrs. Ekstedt’s Help Out of deep respect, we proudly dedicate the 1983 Antler to Mrs. Elaine E. Ekstedt. Mrs. Ekstedt is both Publications Advisor and Basic Skills teacher. She is not only warm and understanding, but also an imaginative person with new ideas. The Publications class itself was set up as an idea of hers. She is a graduate of Minnehaha Academy and has been teaching at Minnehaha since 1973. As publications class advisor she has been a definite asset. Without her, we could not be as pleased with the progress the yearbook staff has made and the effectiveness of publications as a class. Her patience keeps things running smoothly under pressure. Both Dr. Greener and senior Tammy Cross commented. “She's probably the most organized person I've ever known. Along with her busy schedule as a teacher, Mrs. Ekstedt has served as a church organist and is currently a member at Bethlehem Covenant. She has helped write an entire set of Christian Education books for the National Covenant Outreach program. and is extremely active in helping the llmong refugees. She and her husband Einar have an adopted daughter. Jennifer. In December they were blessed with a son. After the birth of Justin. Mrs. Ekstedt returned to school full of motivation for the second semester. With admiration and warmth we would like to thank Mrs. Ekstedt for giving us the opportunity to develop an understanding of co-operation and dedication.

Freshman class president and vice president Michael Mnhnurd and Mary Ann O’Connor (loting ir '� Jime We are all victims of Time. We cannot stand in front of it and try to impede its progress; it will trample us. We cannot run away or hide from it; it will not tolerate such ignorance. We must not try to bargain with time; we play by its rules, it docs not play by ours. We cannot conquer Time, but must always lx aware of its significance in our lives. Its force should never be underestimated because it has the power to manipulate our lives unless we take the initiative to control it. Often, we allow Time to pass too swiftly and we take advantage of tin special moments of laughter with our friends, of peace with ourselves, and oneness with our Lord. Do not live from day to day live from second to second, and preciously encompass every minute because a life is not measured in terms of (lays, or months, or years. Life is measured in terms of QUALITY. And in order to live lives of finest quality, we must use every moment to its greatest potential and intensify every mood of every minute. The past year at Minnehaha has been one of QUALITY. We, as scholars, athletes, and artists have taken the time to realize goals and strived to fulfill them. We have taken the time to recognize the personalities and achievements of others. Both mentally and spiritually we have grown together by sharing our victories. defeats, sorrows, joys and mishaps. To the seniors leaving Minnehaha this year as well as the students that remain, keep every memory of your past years safe as you continue to progress through Time. Let Time work for you. not against you, and build a life of quality and excellence. 'S But prove yourselves doers of the word . .. James 1:22
