The setting was a chilly, autumn day. The occasion— Homecoming 1974. Activities began ear- ly with float plans being made and carried out. Classes chose attendants and the Queen candidates, as the excitement contin- ued to grow. Thursday evening proved to be a thrilling one with many fun events well planned. The Pep Club came through in true form by proving that they could withstand the pressures put on them by the Beaver Patrol during a yelling contest. Then, after watch- ing some hilarious skits, Tim Gossen broke the ten- sion by announcing the royalty. Joy erupted with- in the crowded gymnasium when Judy Hamerlinck was crowned the 1974 Home- coming Queen. Rain threatened the Friday parade, but didn't stop it. Game time found a fired up Viking team losing to a tough Jasper team. Dead Chicken Woof provided entertainment for the dance that followed. Homecom- ing '74—a date to remember.

In the play. Wilder once said that he sought to find the value above all price for the smallest events in our daily lives. The play centered around the lives of two families and the changes they went through in the small community of Grovers Corners. The play combined realism with the sense of audience imagi- nation as the stage manager (Lance Merritt) guided us through the life cycle of Emily Webb (Lynn Welch) and George Gibbs (John Breyfogle).

THE CLASS OF 1975 I just can't believe we're finally graduating was a line often heard from the members of the Senior class during graduation week. Yes, graduation night did come for the 69 worthy students. May 29, 1975, marked the end of twelve years of study and the beginning of a new, adventurous life. We learned many things throughout our years of schooling (even how to walk from the hips!). We shared the joys, fears, trials, and overall good times of class hap- penings. We went through four deaths, which proved to bring us closer together. We grew into mature adults under the guidance of our parents, teachers, and friends. We were a group of people capable of being taught and learn- ing. We will continue to learn the rest of our lives. We will always be the class of 1975.

It was a super year for the cheer- leaders, a year filled with challenges requiring hard work in order to meet these goals. Keeping the spirit of the fans up was the biggest job, and in order to accomplish this task, physical and mental preparation was often as time consum- ing and demanding as the players' readiness period. In order to inspire spirit, cheers were altered to make them as lively and appealing as possible, and drums were utilized to make the spirit more noticeable. The cheerleaders attended a cheerleading clinic at South Dakota State University in Brookings where a few new techniques were learned. It was a great thrill to say Where are you from, and hear the fans yell, MINNEOTA.

After the pages were finished, another yearbook was sent to the Josten American Yearbook Company in Topeka, Kansas, for publication. The paper staff was a busy organization this year.
