The big day turned out to be wet and windy,.but it did not dampen the mighty spirit of the Vikings. A pep rally, held the night preceeding the game, consisted of yells, speeches, and an introduction by Coach Yost. Highlighting the occasion was the coronation of Queen Audrey Traen by co-capta ins Mike Moorse and Doug Fox.- The annual parade was led by the cheer- leaders. The band, royalty, and a float sub- mitted by each class completed the parade. Despite the player's determination to win, the game forfeited to Tyler at halftime because of stormy weather. Halftime activ- ities had to be eliminated also. Finishing the festivities was the dance at which Queen Audrey was presented with a dozen roses. MARY CORDES The three underclassmen attendants are: Shirley Stoks, Junior; Amy Nomeland, Sophomore; and Mary KAREN GOSSEN Tillemans, Freshman. 9 PEP FEST, PARADE Tears from the Freshmen! ! Why?

JUNIORS SPARK POLITICAL HUMOR IN “THE FARMER’S DAUGHTER” The three act comedy was an appro- priate excursion in political fantasy as '66-'67 was a year of off elections. The setting of the play was the lake- front of a bustling midcentered in the living room of the Morley mansion. The central character, Katrin Hol- strom, a talented farm girl, secured a job at the Morley residence. Her habit of speaking candidly for the truth led her into a disagreement over political issues with her employers. During these humorous developments, a subtle romance had flowered between Katrin and Glen. Glen Morley, the party's candidate, found himself opposed by Katrin in the forth-coming election. Because of her popularity, she posed a serious threat to the Morley's political dynasty. Mr. Finley, Glen's running mate, bribed someone to circulate a vicious false- hood about her character to keep her from being elected. Meanwhile, Katrin disappeared, leaving no indication of her where- abouts and caused worry and anxiety in the Morley household. Realizing her error of running away, Katrin returned to the Morley’s and dis- covered that Glen had vouched for her integrity and had proved the rumor false. The play ended on a happy note as Glen and Katrin were united, and Katrin had proved that truth and courage can triumph. 12 Joseph, the butler (Fraser G. ), loses another bet to Mrs. Mor- ley (Vicki G. ) when they see that Katrin (Cheri T. ) wins a skating race over Glen Morley (Doug L. ). Shut up! ! I know Katie better than that! Glen (Doug L. ) shouts in Finley's face. The others watch in astonishment at this outburst of anger from an otherwise mild-mannered poli- tician. Joseph (Fraser G. ) grimaces as Katrin (Cheri T. ) mas- sages Glen's (Doug L. ) aching back. Oh, please re- lax. You are very tense, coaxes Katrin. I may not be the first woman to run for congress, but I know one thing--I must be the happiest! smiles Katrin (Cheri T. ) to her sweetheart, Glen (Doug L. ). 13 Helen struggles violently to free her teacher1 grasp; but Annie Sullivan stubbornly resists b cause she must dicipline Helen's body in ord to open up her mind. Reach, Helen, reach!! cries Annie as Helen vaguely explores her black world, desperately searching for the light. When suddenly Helen discovers that tilings have names, Annie feverishly spells the names into Helen's hand. Annie explains to the overwhelmed family and servants, She knows! She understands! The crew must be commended for a difficult job well done.

SENIOR’S ENACT “THE MIRACLE WORKER” This drama presents an absorbing biography of Helen Keller's early strug- gle to find herself in our world. Her worst handicap was neither blindness nor deafness, but rather, her parent's suffocating love and pity. Anne Sullivan, the miracle worker, battles to reach Helen, and in so doing, also regains her own capacity for love and human com- passion. The subplot between Cap. Keller and his son, James, is subtlely developed. During the rising action of the play, James tries to impress his father but cannot be the man he wants to be. At the climax, Anne finally commu- nicates with Helen’s imprisoned soul; and Cap. Keller recognizes his son's manhood. Mr. Gibson treats his characters with a warm sensitivity and touching pa- thos, yet without detracting from any of the harsh realities. ROW 1: Alice T. (Martha), Rosalyn P. (Prissy), Deb C.

The Grand March is begun by Junior Class President, Paul Larson and his date, Roxy Lamphere. “ENCHANTED FOREST” SETS THE ATMOSPHERE OF PROM ’67 The Grand March begins to take form as the heads of the Senior and Junior classes meet. They are: Deb C. , Mike M. , Senior Class President, Roxy L. , Paul L. , Junior Class President. The Royal waiters and waitresses of the ENCHANTED FOREST are: ROW 1: Gene Broughten, Greg Ahern, Ron Amundson, Royal Hettling, Joe Tillemans, and Bill Pennings. ROW 2: Joan Traen, Janet Komplein, Ruth Jeremiason, Cathy O'Neal, Mary Rokeh, and Marjie DeSmet. The ENCHANTED FOREST holds many surprises, such as the castle and moat which are enjoyed here by Mike R. , Diane P. , Deb C. , and Mike M. Prom of '67 opened with the Jr. -Sr. Banquet. A huge castle was constructed with a moat and drawbridge effect. Amid the greens of the forest were hung brightly colored shields and battle wea- pons of the traditional knights. Deviating from tradition, the Grande March was held in the big gym, where a ramp was built representing a mediaeval bridge. After a fanfare of trumpets, Jr. Class President Paul Larson began the march with his date Roxy Lamphere. After the double arch was formed the couples marched to the small gym for their first dance. Shields and the armor of knights gaily decorated the walls of the ENCHANTED FOREST. Tom and Karen obviously don't seem too interested in the decorations here, do they? Smiling faces appeared everywhere in the ENCHANTED FOREST, especially in the small garden whose tree with a mos- sy effect added to the bewitching atmos- phere of the evening. The one act play, The Bad Penny, was presented at Canby in the sub-district; and rated an excellent. The plot centered about Lil, the bad penny, who had run away to marry and had become a successful actress of the stage. After many years, Lil returned to offer her sisters fi- nancial aid; but Kate and Mar- garet slight her, thinking she is after the inheritance of their deceased father. After Lil's departure, they discover her real motives and her true worth as a person. The characters were portrayed by Lois Josefson, Gladys Myhre, Mary Maertens, and Debbie Dero. Miss Reyelts was the director of the play. ONE ACT RA TES “EXCELLENT” DEBATERS EXERCISE VOCAL ABILITIES Presenting his argument, John M. uses notecards containing pertinent data. Being able to keep cool and calm during a debate is an asset, right John? Participating in debate were: (SEATED) K. Josephson and R. Jeremiason; (STANDING) Miss Reyelts, N. Leibfried, T. Guttorms- son, and J. Morency. Great debates are among the land- marks of American history. In order to continue this heritage of free people, we become acquainted with this form of dis- cussion in our high school debate con- tests. This year, the proposition read; Re- solved that the United States limit its for- eign aid to non-totalitarian countries. Preparation for such a topic requires extensive research so as to gain an out- look from both, affirmative and negative, sides of the question. In presenting his views, each debater of a team is judged on the merits of his analysis, reasoning and evidence, orga- nization, rebutal, and delivery. Winners advancing to District competition in Declam were: ROW 1: Miss Reyelts, director, Penny Gullickson, Lois Josefson, Nancy Liebfried, Lynn Olson, ROW 2: Ruth Jeremiason, Janet Christianson, Sharon Lien, Kathy Tholkes, Cheri Traen, Deb Dero, ROW 3: Gary Richards, Larry Langsweirdt, Byran VanOverbeke, Fraser Geiwitz and Marc Christianson. DECLAM HAS SUCCESSFUL SEASON In an effort to master the finer points of speech delivery, 37 students partic- ipated in declamation this year. In preparation, a selection to be given demands careful reading and study for the mastery of its thought and feel- ing. Then to communicate the right thoughts and moods, one must have the proper posture, bodily action, correct breathing, voice quality, inflection, pro- nunciation, articulation, emphasis and tempo. Under the direction of Miss Reyelts, the following participated in sub-district, district, and regional contests: Kathy Tholkes, Bryan Van Overbeke, Marc Christianson, Fraser Geiwitz, Lynn Ol- son, Janet Christianson, Debbie Dero, Nancy Leibfried, Penny Gullickson, Ruth Jeremiason, Audrey Traen, Judy Han- son, Larry Langsweirdt, Lois Josefson, Cheri Traen, Debbie Christianson, Karyn Canton, and Gary Johnson. District winners who advanced to Region were: Miss Reyelts, Fraser Geiwitz, ROW 2: Kathy Tholkes, Lynn Olson, Larry Langs- weirdt and Marc Christianson. Kathy Tholkes received recognition by being named an alternate to state. The Student Council members do much for the leadership of the � _hool. President Doug Fox is telling other members: Sue Orsen, Mike Moorse, Paul Larson, Joe Tillemans, John Traen, Sue Afdem, Audrey Traen, Jerry Teigland, Nancy Claeys, and Connie Dero what must be done for some extra activity. STUDENT COUNCIL 20 The Student Council officers who guide the students in school activities are Sue Afdem, Vice President; Doug Fox, Pres- ident; and Sue Orsen, Secretary. Each year the Legion Aux. sponsors a girl and boy of MHS to attend State for a week during the summer. This year Karen Gossen and Tom Guttormsson were chosen as girl and boy stater's and Allice Tillemans and Gary Thos- tenson were alternates. Students belonging to the National Honor Society are chosen by the members of the faculty each year. These students are select- ed according to scholastic ability, leadership and character. The members are: ROW 1: A. Tilliemans, A. Traen, K. Gossen. ROW 2: L. Olson, T. Sturm, J. Claeys, B. Anderson, M. Vlaminck. PROMOTES LEADERSHIP In the fall of each school term stu- dents are given there chance to campaign when running for student council office. Here is Terry Schreiber looking his speech with the help of Doug Fox, Sue Orsen, Mary Maertens, Cathy Josephson, Sue Afdem and Cheryl Traen, who all ran for offices. 21 The success of the Minneota Vikings during the 66-67 season lies in the way they played the game. Their efforts didn't bring them the best record ever, but under Coaches Yost and Dahle the team learned good sportsmanship and perse- verance, both in victory and defeat. These aims, after all, constitute the purpose of high school athletics. Co-captains Mike Moorse and Doug Fox led the 24 Vikings on the squad with the renown MHS spirit.

He also assisted the Senior high coaches in their training of the Vikings throughout the football season. 25 A handshake of success opened the 1966 Foot- ball season for the MHS gridders. Acting as co- captains for Doug F. and Mike M. who were side- lined with injuries, were Paul S. and Bob F. The Vikes display their strong defense when Mike Jasperson cuts down a determined Lake Ben- ton Bobcat. Paul Larson swings down the football field fancy free out of the reach of the Cottonwood Raiders. 26 Tension rises among the sec- ond string as they intentively watch the MHS gridders move on to victory. A viking pursues the opposing force as Lawrence and Jerzak come from behind to assist MHS gridders in another victory. Langten, Jerzak, Flemming, and Jasperson display excellent blocking during another action-filled game. STANDING: A. Geiwitz, E. Lozenski, D. Fox, F. Geiwitz, D. Langten, B. Lawrence B.

NO RETURNING LETTERMEN WEAKENS The 66-67” basketball season started at a slow pace with no returning lettermen. Under Coach Lasley, the Vikings gained in experience as the year advanced. Three players averaged double fig- ures for the year with Teig- land scoring 12. 1; Langten, 11. 2; and Larson, 10. 7 points per game. Of utmost importance to the team were the fine atti- tude and leadership of Co- captain Doug Fox. 28 f c IN? Bradley Lawrence makes a layup while the Cottonwood players look on with awe.

Under the excellent coaching of James Lasley, the boys made an all-out effort to make the year successful. The team must be commended for their great sportsmanship and attitude shown. Coach Lasley briefs his returning lettermen, T. Dero, D. Fox, P. Larson, T. Christianson, P. Swedzinski on the more important facts of baseball. 32 MHS trackmen, coached by Dale Yost, par- ticipated in several track meets during this 1966-67 season. After several track team hours spent in preparation for their meets, the boys experi- enced aching muscles and sore feet, but I'm sure they felt it was well worth their efforts. Shown here at the right is Brad Lawrence and Bob Fox, who collected the most points for their discus and running abilities. TERRIFIC TRACKMEN ROW 1: J. VandePutte, (Student Manager) D. Gorecki, D.

WRESTLING HAS GOOD FIRST TEAR A new venture in our athletic program this year gave individuals a chance to gain recognition for themselves and at the same time, belong to a team. Mr. Van Vooren coached the wrestling squad, and sweated it out along with the boys in an effort to get each down to his weight group. Interest shown by the spectators was great, and it is felt that a good foothold has been made during this first.year. 34 COACH VAN VOOREN Leading the cheering sections at basketball and football games is one of the duties of the A squad cheerleaders. These girls, Cheryl Traen, Joan Traen, Janet Kompelien, and Sue Afdem learned some helpful hints in cheerleading when they attended a cheering clinic at Granite Falls and did a fine job this year in promoting school spirit. CHEERLEADERS AROUSE SPIRIT B squad cheerleaders had the duty of cheer- ing at Jr. High football and basketball games. They helped with the pep fests and arousing school spirit. B squad cheerleaders this sea- son were Janet Christianson, Laurie Wigness, Mary Tillemans, and Connie Dero. We want a pin, let's win! This is a phrase you may have heard coming from the Wrestling Cheerleaders, This was a new sport in our ath- letic program this year. These three girls, Nancy Claeys, Sue Obe, and Sue Orsen did a fine job to cheer the team on. 35 Members of the band are, ROW 1: W. Severson, K. Canton, M. Christianson, B.

Karen Gossen and Lynn Ol- son (L. ) give the newly elected editors, Sue Afdem and Linette Okrina, helpful hints for next year. Before the paper can be published there is the thankless task of roughing, proofreading, and headlining the art- icles. Deb C. and Nancy L. (seated) are roughing articles; while Alice T. Audrey T. , and Marc C. suggest a few changes and corrections in the articles being typed. 42 The memories of the year are pre- served in the pictures and copy that make up an annual. The fifteen member staff worked arduous hours against creeping deadlines to finish on time. Mr. Larson, the advisor, and seven of the staff attended the Yearbook Conven- tion at the College of Gustavus Adolphus where the fundamentals of editing an annual were presented; and an exchange of ideas between yearbook staffs took place. Handwritten captions, handed in by staff members, generally need trans- lation by the authors. MINN-HI-ANN HAS LARGEST STAFF Members of the Minni-Hi-Ann staff are, from left to right: ROW 1: B.
