EVENTS 7. After a successful Apollo 7 mission with three astro- nauts aboard, the United States followed in December with Apollo 8. This time a 3-man team made history by soaring into orbit around the moon. 8. This diagram shows the path of the Apollo 8 in suc- cessfully achieving lunar orbit and then returning to Earth. 9.

There was the queen to choose, floats to build, cheers and skits to practice. Everyone split with laughter as the faculty presented their Dragnet production. Mr. Anderson may even have some advice for our cheer- leaders! ? M. H. S. school spirit soared with the flames from the bon fire. But by Friday afternoon the Junior's hopes had gone up in smoke with their float. As the parade continued the royalty enjoyed the beautiful weather. The Senior float received first prize. Dur- ing halftime of the Morgan game, Queen Mary was presented with a football autographed by the squad. Disappointment over the defeat was dispelled by the homecoming dance.

The 1968 season marked the return of eleven man football to Minneota after many years of eight man football. Exten- sive work was done on the field during the summer to pre- pare for the change. Three victories and a touchdown against a strong Tracy team highlighted the year while the B squad showed promise also.

NHS encourages scholarship, leadership, character, and service. November 1968 found everyone knee deep in politics: debating, questioning and voting for their candidates. A cit- izenship day was sponsored by the NHS and FHA. Society members presented major party platforms and Mayor Jor- gensen of Tyler spoke on Our Political Heritage. Last night it was fifteen minutes long, and it's only supposed to be five! B. Pennings is frantically cutting his speech as L. Langsweirdt and C. Jos- ephson look on. Our Heritage Grows SEATED: S.

Again in 1968 the American Legion and Women's Auxilary honored MHS students by sponsoring their attendance at Girls' and Boys' State. For the girls, there was a flurry of campaigning and elections at the beginning of the week followed by learned, eloquent and celebrated speakers. The boys found it quite different. They studied hard and listened to guest speakers the first days, then elect- ed their officials after extensive party campaigns in the closing days of their session. As the staters themselves expressed it: We learned the glory and heritage of our America and our duty to keep it forever untarnished. 13 SEATED: Advisor, Mr. Olson, G. Myhre, J. VanMoorlehem, W.

Deb Speaks In Flowery Terms We have been taught the importance of the individual and of voicing our opinions on matters that concern us. However, due to numbers it is literally impossible to operate in such a manner. We, therefore, choose representatives to present our views in positions of leadership. The students of MHS used their voice and chose some very competent leaders as members of the Student Council to guide school activities. D. Dero, presi- dent, G. Myhre, vice-president, and J. VanMoorle- hem work closely with Mr. Olson throughout the year The Homecoming Coronation Pep Fest was a roaring success as MC'd by Student Council President D. Derc Father Willet of Pipestone started the Council spon- sored Clean-up Week by addressing an assembly with the topic Beautiful People. Some of the or- ganizations made posters on smoking and drinking. Time flew on; suddenly the Christmas holidays were upon us. Vacation brought the co-sponsored American Legion-Student Council dance at the Legion Hall. The Henchmen provided the music. Minneota's first king reigned with his queen at our first Snow Ball. This was a dream come true for the Student Council because it was their many hours of convincing and planning that made it possible. The Council coordinated the student body activities, including bringing items and getting workers for the AFS fund White Elephant sale. One of the most exciting assemblies again this year was the Brain Brawl. It featured two mixed teams in College Bowl type contests. School life encorporates academics, organizations, and activities which were many during the term 68- 69. 12 Each fall the people of our area are given the chance to benefit themselves and their school by subscribing to a magazine through the school magazine drive. The students in grades seven through twelve compete, even against odd, to see who can reach their goal and the most subscriptions. As you see below, R. Jeremiason, the evens' captain is the champ over A. DeCock, the odds' captain. Variety Spices Everyday Life Hey, hep cat, let's cut a rug! Who's that hep cat? Why none other than T.

S. basketball season was highlighted this year by our first snow carnival. Each class selected two couples as Snow King and Queen candidates from which the student body selected the winners. Finalists were presented with flowers and Joan and Ramon were crowned during half-time of the game with Ivanhoe. Following the victory, a dance was held in the little gym. Everyone admired the tasteful blue and white decorations put up by the Student Council, sponsors of the event. KNEELING: D. Spanton, Student Manager M.

A fiery, dedicated Vikings basketball team provided an exciting season for its fans this year as one of the tallest teams in the history of Minneota High School compiled a 10-8 season record. Coach K. Krommen- hoek's inexperienced cagers fought out every game until the final buzzer, losing only one game by more than seven points, and that was a nine point ball- game to the highly rated Tracy Scrappers. Two school scoring records were broken in the Lynd game as A1 Geiwitz pumped in 40 points to surpass the old mark of 37 points by an individual in one game; and the team looked impressive as they rippled the nets for 101 points, four more than the previous high for a Vikings team in one game. A1 Geiwitz earned a spot on the WCCO Prep Team- of-the-Week for his excellent all-around play in the Lynd game. Seeded a high fifth in the pre-tournament ratings, the apprehensive Vikings lost a tough first round game of the Tournament to the Canby Lancers with a score of 56-60. Thus, a team with only three returning letter- men developed into a team which just missed going all the way. This development can be mainly sum- med up with a quote from Vince Packers: Maybe winning isn't everything, but the will to win is. 18 Cottonwood 47 Minneota 40 Hendricks 49 Minneota 56 Canby 65 Minneota 63 Gaylord 59 Minneota 52 Tracy 82 Minneota 73 Hendricks 55 Minneota 72 Cottonwood 78 Minneota 71 Ivanhoe 58 Minneota 71 Lake Benton 45 Minneota 95 Tyler 61 Minneota 73 Ivanhoe 52 Minneota 62 Balaton 56 Minneota 53 Russell 61 Minneota 68 Lynd 62 Minneota 101 Walnut Grove 48 Minneota 72 Lake Benton 51 Minneota 87 Tyler 62 Minneota 60 Sophomore K.

S. B-squad had a very rewarding season this year, however, the scoring record was not a true indication of the team's abil- ity. Many of the games lost, were very close. The team appeared to be hampered by a lack of quickness but a number of players showed much promise for the future. 1970- 71, here we come!

According to Coach Yost, The purpose of the B-squad is to prepare the guys for wrestling for the A-team in future years. This year’s A-squad was a prime example of the excellent preparation these guys do get, since half of this year's team wrestled on the B-squad last year. With quite a few seniors graduating, practice and experience will pay off again next year. Of course, sometimes the B-squad members fill in for out of action varsity wrestlers. Shown above is B. Pen- nings, fighting to add points to the A-team total. FRONT: A. Esping, D. Fier, W. Skaar, P. Traen, J. Bernardy, R. Esping. BACK: C. Jackson, L. Vlaminck, B. Claeys, R. Claeys, Mr. Yost, S.

The Minneota grapplers have established themselves as a firm power in this area. This year's season record was an ex- cellent 9-3-1. Considering the stiff competition the Vikes ran up against, Coach Van Vooren felt that Minneota had a suc- cessful season. The seniors, who wrestled in their last match at M. H. S. , were co-captains Larry Langs- weirdt and Dean Gorecki. They led the team through the '68- '69 season; the remaining sen- iors were Greg Yeo, Bill Pen- nings, and Roger Bottleberger. Because of this year's success, it is felt that Minneota's wres- tling program will be even big- ger and better next year.

With the full support of the student body, an all-out effort was made to build up enthusiasm and raise the spirit of MHS. The different activities held during the year were pep fests, Dad's night, Parents' Night, and the Athletic Banquet, which honored the lettermen and cheerleaders, and was put on by the Minneota Businessmen's Association, and the American Legion Post. Hard work and sincere devotion were contributed by every- one to enable the Minneota Vikes to have a successful sea- son. RIGHT: B-squad basketball cheerleaders are C. Wigness, N. Swedzinski, B.

Dark Of The Moon Barbara Allen confesses the guilt which was forced upon her by the cruel mountain-folk who said it were the will o' God. 28 You gotta make me human pleads John as he tried to talk the Conjur Woman (Pat V. ) into granting his wish. Giving birth to a witch child has convinced the mountain- folk that John is a witch and so they burn the baby and try to rid Barbara of her spell. Git outen my house ! Ail a you, git out! shouts John to the preacher (Larry L. ) who says they have come to help. Knowing their inevitable fate, Barbara Allen (Nancy C. ) returns her wedding ring to John (Joe T. ) and he promises to wear it always. Love, tolerance, and understanding----these are the very subjects dealt with in Dark of the Moon which was dramatically enacted by the senior class of MHS. The play is based on the folk-ballad of Barbara Allen. In it, a girl named Barbara Allen, like the girl in the bal- lad, is believed to be unable to remain true to any man. The love between Barbara and John, the witch boy, is die true test for Barbara's loyalty. In order to really love Barbara, John must become human. The one condition for this is that Barbara remain true to him for one year. The witch boy's group and Barbara's people both try to tear them apart, unable to see them hap- py together. The mountain folk are an intolerant, dogmatic, self-assured and self-righteous group. One minute diey pray fervently, the next they are vengefully cruel. The tragedy is that John and Barbara are the victims of both group's hatred. Barbara is forced to be untrue to John and thus she must die and John again becomes a witch. 29 Larry Goes To State Motlier, please don't call me Francis! F. DeCock, R. Jeremia- son, L.

Wins And Loses The Minneota baseball Vikings fought the weather (snow, floods, rains) nearly all spring as they were forced to confine their workouts to the gym and the parking lot. Entering the first game of the season, die Vikes' only bat- ting practice had been with a plastic Whiffle-Bail on the stage behind the curtains; however, the able Vikes ripped out eight key hits to Cottonwood's one and marched away with a victory. The remainder of the season's schedule of games was played whenever possible between and sometimes during drizzly rains. The team closed out the season widi a respectable 7-6 record. Inexperience led the M.H.S. diamond men to commit 48 er- rors while their opponents only tallied 27 miscues. The Vikings couldn't seem to consistently bunch their hits into groups to produce runs this year. Even though they out hit the opposition 98-68 and averaged 89 percentage points above the batting averages of their rivals, our team was still out scored 51-67. Minneota won its first game of the District tournament in typical fashion, squeezing by Lake Benton 4-3. The second round of district play proved to be fatal when Tyler caught fire in the last half inning to salvage a come-from-behind win to the tune of 4-3. 33 Isle Of Golden Dreams They might not be very good at hula dancing, but the sophomore waiters and waitresses added a touch of the tropics to the dining atmosphere. Their cos- tumes included authentic grass skirts for the girls and grass hats for the boys. Flower print jumpsuits and vests were topped off with leis. Each girl wore a live orchid in her hair.

Band Strikes'A' Rewarding Note The '68-' 69 school term proved to be another year of great achievement for the band. It all began last fall when we were chosen band of the week by W. C.C.O. Radio. The band also participated in Band Day at a Gopher football game on the U. of M. Campus. The Christmas and spring concerts given by the band were very impressive.

The District Choral Contest was a rewarding one for the MHS music department and a triumphant moment for Director Miss Wohlhueter. Out of three possible A-ratings, Minneota was proud to bring home two. Boys Chorus and Girls Glee Club were able to achieve this goal and make the '68-'69 music season successful. Minneota's vocal group was also happy to participate in the Christmas Program held at MHS. Little Gray Don- key, sung by the chorus and narrated by Larry Langs- weirdt proved to be the high-light of their program. A delightful spring concert ended the year in an atmo- sphere of triumphant accomplishment. 39 A Thankless Job! Who says putting out an annual is easy?! Meetings at least once a week, plan and replan picture lay- outs, wrack your brain for interest- ing write-ups, the list of duties is lengthy—seemingly to the over- worked editors and staff. Oh yes, planning pages and pictures is fun. It's only when the pictures don't fit the planned space, and one runs out of original ideas for write- ups that the work becomes heart- breaking. Of course, it doesn't help when the yearbook company representative comes three months late to tell you how to put the pictures on the pages or snow days blow in to delay picture taking. The school camera decided to ar- rive in the middle of the year and then nobody knew how to develop pictures! But then, as the mistakes are gradually ironed out and the finished product begins to take shape, all the work seems worth- while. Then, the only problem left is convincing your fellow students that the annual is going to be the best yet and worth every cent of five dollars ! STAFF: A. DeCock, S. Magnuson, B. Thompson, B.

Compulsory Service In Debate? Service may be compulsory on the team, but regi- mentation wasn't that stiff. Minneota's debate squad had many memorable moments debating the topic: Resolved that the United States should adopt a sys- tem of compulsory service by all citizens. The season included a debate with Marshall, the Watertown invitational tournament, and the Regional Debate Contest. All but two of the team members were first year debaters. Watching the improvement as experience was gained was therefore rewarding. The negative team won one round at both the Water- town and Regional contests. One of MHS's famed Daniel Websters, expounds on the evils of compulsory service during an intrasquad debate. Squad members are: L. Josef- son, M. Maertens, G. Regnier, R. Koch, J. Bottelberghe, J. Seifert, S. Nordquist, R. Van- Moorlehem, M. Larson. Would you rather I took a blanket? responds M. Larson to jibes from Miss Wohlhueter and Mr. Pagel about his boxes.

These are questions from Miss Wohlhueter, the advisor, which each declam participant had to answer as he worked on his presentation. Hours of practice and Miss Wohlhueter's advice make for a successful year as many of the above students will tell you. 49 E L I I E S Who keeps our somewhat hectic school running smoothly? Mrs. Claeys and Mrs. Spanton are great at keeping the office operating efficiently. And no one can deny the fact that Mr. Olson is pretty good at keeping the students out of mischief and at their studies. One responsibility of the Minneota School Board members was made obvious to the public this year, when they signed the contracts to begin construction on the new addition to the present high school building. Members shown ABOVE are: Mr. L. Allen, Mr. R. Loyson, Superintendent R. Larson, Mr. D. Rye, Mr. E. Heggeseth, Mr. K. Kompelien, and Mr. D. Tomasek. 52 Culinary And Custodial Curators There's nothing like a good meal to get everyone set for afternoon classes. MHS cooks: C. Atwood (substituting for G. Culshaw), H. Friedrichs, L. Mattson, and H. Chris- tianson do a remarkable job. It's too bad the price of pizza burgers soared over the budget limitations, though. Course, nobody can complain about that chicken Helen is serving. M.H.S. is fortunate in having such cheerful janitors, If it weren't for them, our school would be a hope- less mess by the end of a week. And who else could ever get those temperamental thermostats working again? BELOW, D. Friedrichs and J. Atwood wheel supplies into the cafeteria. Students Thank Faculty Teaching lively Jr. and Sr. High students is never an easy task, especially this year with the winter months interrupted so often by snow days. The fact that classes were constantly being shortened or cut because of the threatening weather kept students in a vacation mood long after the Christmas season. MHS faculty members deserve to be commended for their patience and endurance as they strove to help pupils absorb a little more knowledge. ABOVE: MR. D.

Ramon de la Asuncion Britez Espinozo from Paraguay, South America, was the first AFS student to spend a year of study at MHS. Arriving in August, Ramon faced many novel experiences in his new country, America. Not only did he have a new country, but also a new home. The Carl Law- rence's served as his host family. They had many rewarding moments sharing the atmosphere of their family life with Ramon. The Senior class took pride in claiming Ramon as theirs although it was evident that Ramon became a part of everyone involved in school activities. His school subjects included: speech, social studies, American history, typing, and English. Ramon also participated in chorus and track. Many firsts can be listed for Ramon since he left Encarnacion. Snow is probably the biggest first. He had only seen snow on the mountain tops and in pic- tures before the winter of '68-'69. Until he sent pic- tures to his mother, who was enjoying summer in the southern hemisphere, she had a hard time believing his reports of a Minneota winter. Ramon especially likes the snow day vacations. This is comparable to rain days they have in Paraguay. And of course being Snow King in the Minneota school was an honor for him. Other firsts include an airplane ride, snowmobiling, fox hunting, giving speeches, and no siesta. Ramon has become accustomed to the 8 to 4 schedule. He says, Now I need no siesta and I stay up until 10 or 11 or maybe 12:00. From a vocabulary of five or six spoken English words, Ramon's ability to speak has given several groups in this area a chance to hear him tell about himself and his country. BELOW, we find Sue Orsen, AFS student representative, helping Ramon prepare one of his speeches. In fact, his English had improved so much that while visiting with his mother by telephone she had to say, Ramon speak a little clearer Spanish. I cannot understand you very well. In Paraguay students go to school from March to November. After six years of elementary school and three years of basic education one chooses between high school and developing a trade or vocation. When he returns he will have a three-year military obliga- tion which all men participate in without pay. When asked about a comparison between teenagers of the two countries, he replied, About the same in ability but here, much more opportunity. Coke, pepsi, ice cream and coffee and tea are familiar foods for Ramon. North American barbeques and baked beans have become a couple of his favorite foods. In June, 1969, Ramon left his Minneota home. He toured our country, via bus, to gain a larger view of North America than he is able to receive by living in one community, with one U.S. family and attend- ing one school. This tour also gave him a chance to form friendships with other AFS students and share their many experiences. He will return to South America with new understanding of this country and himself.
