Spiritual Life leads On the road again — I'm on the road again. That was one of Mr. Tierce Greene's many answering machine messages which he shared with us during Spiritual Life week. Mr. Greene was a popular convocation speaker. Student responses were positive, said Chaplain Dan Bergstrom. The students also seemed to enjoy the Christmas convocation when the teachers performed the Twelve Days of Christmas. Besides having convocations on Thursdays, class chapels once again took place in the campus room. Each class got together on a certain day and a member of the Minnehaha staff led devotions. When class chapels and convocations weren’t in session the students spent time in their individual homerooms. The Spiritual Life Committee also worked hard on the food drive, which collected 7,097 items, more than double last year's total. They aLso worked to bring together Spiritual Life Week with Tierce Greene Spiritual Emphasis Day with Dr. Merton Strommen. The Spiritual Life Committee met every four weeks on Tuesdays dumg activity schedule. The purpose of the committee is to give leadership, explained Rev. Bergstrom. The Spiritual Life Committee worked hard to bring awareness of spiritual life,” he added. Nate V'icklunJ (12). Sharon Fischer (12). Hud, Htlmieh (10). Ijm Hagen (12). Aaron Zubarth (10).

M rk Bntt Mark Bruit Editor Shaun Hamilton Shaun Hamilton (Above) Head Photographer Mark Brute Photographers develop A photographer's work is never done. The photographs seen in the school newspaper and yearbook do not simply materialize out of thin air. Someone has to take, develop, and print these photos before they get to you. This is the job of the school photographers. A lot of weight felt on the shoulders of the small but dedicated staff consisting of head photograher Mark Bruce, photography editor Shaan Hamilton, and a number of free-lance photographers who contributed from time to time. They took pictures of subjects ranging from academics to feature photos, to advertising material and sports. When a photo did not turn out or did not get taken, photographers were scowled at and chastised. Photographerj 25

Bret Gemltih (12) ponders Prtshman Sophomore Sadie plans. It. Uw Government plans The Minnehaha Student Government had a year of planning activities and events for the school to participate in. They created new events and put some changes into old events to create activities students would enjoy. The student government consisted of class officers, student body officers, and the student council. Through these three branches, activities such as Sadie, JS, Sno-daze and Homecoming were planned along with all the class activities. The senior class officers also initiated a new event called the Senior Day Away. This was a day for seniors to spend time to get to know each other better. Senior Class President Bret Gemlich felt the day went well and said they plan to make it a tradition. Though most officers enjoyed their position it came with a lot of responsibility, It gets tough at times,” said Bret, but in the end, its usually worth it. Mr. Paul Norby advised the student government. He said he wished the student government w'ould have worked on school issues more, but said it was up to student government leaders as to whether they did or not. cuiicnt Government: Jon Oluth.
