Adventures Make BWCA Voyage Canoeing again ! the wind, the rain, and even the Know wa» an experience for 1 7 Minnehaha ntudent in the Adventurer Club who headed north to canoe the Boundary Water Canoe Area (BWCA) Thursday through October 2 1. The »ix hour trip started early Thursday morning a student boarded a bus driven by club advisor. Rev. Paul Swanson. When the club members arrived at the Adventurous Christians club on the Gunflint Trail, they were divided into three groups and headed out for the four-day trip. When the three groups returned from their cold, wet trips they received a big meal, followed by a sauna and a swim at the Adventurous Christians camp. During the bus ride home students told stories about their journeys. One group survived an overnight wind storm, only to find that a fallen tree had put at least three holes in one of their canoes. Chewed bubble gum was used to plug the holes and worked, but the canoe had to be paddled backwards for the rest of the trip, due to the large dent in the back. Another group went through 40 matches trying to start a fire with wet wood and ended up coming back a day early. Rev. Swanson commented on the purpose for taking students on the canoe trip. “I had opportunities to go out in the wilderness when I was younger and I'd like to share that experience with students. It gives students an opportunity to experience God in a different setting, and a chance for kids to work together under adverse circumstances. Plus it gives me a chance to get to know students in a different setting.” Front row) Kurt Jaakowiak, Jrff OUon. Derek Bolt Bow 2) Kenny and Karen l.undberg, Katv Teeter.

Spirit Shows Through Weather Even though the weather was cool and the rain came down on a dreary Homecoming day, the teams played, the cheerleaders cheered, and the fans showed up. The day started off at 9:00 a.m. with a girls volleyball 3-0 victory over Blake. The girls soccer game started under cloudy skies at 10:00 a.m. and soon the rain came down. Some fans took refuge from the rain between periods to watch the volleyball game in the gym. As the rain came down, the girls soccer team could not spark a win against a tough Benilde team and lost 1-3. The girls soccer game was followed by the guys soccer game, which received the worst of the day's rain. The players managed to stay somewhat dry by wearing Mrs. Frant-zich's Hefty baggies for rain wear. The soccer team pulled out a 3-1 upset over 2nd-ranked Blake. While all the soccer action was going on, Minnehaha's five-member croquet team was battling Blake for the state title. With lots of “kill shots'' Minnehaha was defeated 0 4. After the soccer game, Minnehaha's concert band led a parade 1 V4 miles through the rain to the South Campus. Spectators could see the band displaying their red and white colors, walking through puddles and playing “Rocky. King Andy Dorsey, Queen Katie Olson and the royal court followed behind the band in cars. At 3:00 p.m. the football game started as the rain gradually let up. Minnehaha lost a close 6-12 game against Farmington, rated first in the conference and ranked 6th in the state. While the football game was being played, members of the Minnehaha cross country team were finishing a 3.1 mile race. The boys cross country team won 1 5-43 while the girls lost. When the day was over, everyone seemed to be pleased. Jeff Carlson ('85) summed up Homecoming 1984 by saying, “I think there was a lot of spirit, even though the weather was bad.” Homecoming 15

He and John Baltes were leaders of the eluh. Melinda Lundeen and Sasha Van Selers were their female counterparts, heads of the Pink Panthers. The groups' activities varied from visiting an old folks home to competing in Powder Puff football and hockey in the snow. Other activities included fund raisers, sledding parties and a Pink Panther Blue Aardvark get together. Aardvarks are still known by their jerseys, however, this year, sweatshirts were added. The Pink Panthers invested in new Pink windbreakers, but still have the traditional pink sweatshirts. The Blue Aardvarks gathered at hockey-games and other sporting events to show their spirit with original signs. The junior representatives for the Panthers were Tonia McKay and Ginny Bergren, and for the Aardvarks, Christo Stavrou. “M.A. needs more spirit — If we weren't cheering who would? exclaimed Steve.
