And, if in that moment, you find laughter, Be grateful, for you have found the joy of the morning sunshine. And, if in that moment, you find anger, Be grateful, for now you understand the voice of the thundering clouds. And, if in that moment, you find sadness. Be grateful, for you have felt the warmth of the angels' tears in a soft spring rain. Pause, if only for a moment, for someday we, too, will wave good-bye —all too soon.

Three new assistant coaches were installed, and Minneota also used a place kicker which added a new aspect to the Viking offense. All of these combined to give the Vikings a winning season with a record of five wins and four losses. The Star Conference medals were awarded to Greg Johnson, John Pennings, and Duane Fier. Honorable mention was also given to Larry Fox. The coaching staff for the 1975 season consisted of Assistant Coaches: Curt VanMeveren, Jim Rolbeicki, Dave Nelson; and Head Coach Dale Yost. 5 HOME VOLLEYBALL SCOREBOARD OPPONENT MATCH WON BY: Minneota Tracy Mi nneota Minneota Lynd Lynd Minneota Canby Minneota Minneota Lake Benton Mi nneota Minneota Tracy Minneota Minneota Ivanhoe Minneota Minneota Hendricks Hendricks Minneota Canby Minneota Minneota Balaton Balaton Minneota T yler Mi nneota Minneota Ruthton Minneota Minneota Clarkfield Minneota Minneota Russell Minneota Minneota Cottonwood Minneota Minneota Tracy Minneota Minneota Hendricks Minneota Minneota Cottonwood Minneota Minneota District Tournament Tracy Minneota Minneota Hendricks Minneota Minneota Cottonwood Minneota Minneota Region Tournament Montevideo Montevideo BELOW: B squad volleyball members included: ROW 1- Julie Bretschneider, Barb Bottelberghe, Rosemary Laleman Pam Bot, Wendy Larson, Trudy Wigness.

They also concentrated on the fundamentals of the bump, set, and spike style of game. After one girl had bumped the ball, a second player would move in and set the ball up so that it could be spiked into the opponents court. Positive attitude and improved skills became a determining factor in their play in district when they defeated Cottonwood for the championship.

Excitement began to build Thursday night, September 25, 1975, with the Pep Fest, which was organized by Gloria Fredricks. The most memorable of the skits performed was Spirit Cake, which was presented by the Beaver Patrol. The ingredients consisted of eggs, flour, molasses, milk, etc., which were com- bined on top of Mr. Rolbiecki's head. The climax of the evening came about with the crowning of our 1975 Homecoming Queen — Pia Oskarsson, and Princess Julie Alleckson. 8 FAR LEFT: Gloria Fredricks, President of the Student Council, greeted the crowd before the Homecoming Pepfest.

BOTTOM: Several members of the Junior class encouraged a Viking fan (Doug Josephson) as he tried in vain to convince a young lady from Ivanhoe (Tammy Schwartz) to give away the Eagles football plays. 9 “OH HAPPY DAY!” The parade took place on a beautiful, sunny day. Students, as well as towns-people, lined the parade route in hopes of getting a good look at the band, floats. Homecoming royalty, and the football players. Friday night, September 26, the enthusiastic team proved their slogan,— Go Tough Vikings, —by demon- strating a very strong defensive game and a superior offensive effort against our opponent, the Ivanhoe Eagles . The game ended victoriously for the Vikings' with a score of 34-6. Homecoming came to a close with Green Tree Station performing for those who attended the dance. 10 FAR LEFT: Queen Pia Oskarsson and Princess Julie Al- leckson excitedly awaited the beginning of the parade.

The who dun it type of mystery, which was written by Agatha Christie, is composed of ten people who are stranded on a deserted island, enticed there by a mysterious mad man who is one of them! As the play progresses, one by one, the people are killed. All of the events surrounding their deaths follow a poem called Ten Little Indians that hints at the way in which the next person will die. Vera Claythorne, (Sharon Appelwick), the heroine, and the handsome leading man, Phillip Lombard, (Scott Josephson), solved the final murders.

The Student Council had big plans for the '75-'76 school year. They purchased an 8-track tape player for the student lounge; and also began working on plans to paint and carpet the lounge to make it a more attractive and enjoyable place to relax. With the backing of the Student Council, grades 9-12 donated part of their class funds to buy Minneota class rings for the AFS (American Field Service) students. Another activity which the Student Council organized was a Student Government Day, which was held in the spring of the year.

LEAN ON ME! 20 R This year we saw a change in that there were six seperate cheerleaders combined for the fall events. This change was implemented so that a girl could par- ticipate in girls' athletics and, also, be a cheerleader for the other part of the year if she so desired. Cheer- leading is an honorable activity but requires a great deal of dedication to maintain the goals that are set. It takes many hours of hard work in order to perform the group mounts and athletic stunts which were used extensively during the past year for both boys' and girls' athletics.

The Pep Club and the Beaver Patrol competed in several yell- ing contest during cheers at pep- fests, in an effort to promote school spirit. They were also present at all of the games, doing their ut- most to urge the athletes on to victory. The Pep Club also worked enthusiastically on making crea- tive posters and locker decals. A dedicate group of young people, known as the Pom-Pom girls performed at many athletic events. Their performances added, not only spirit, but also a new dimension of entertainment and enjoyment for the spectators. Cheering on the wrestling teams were the Mat Maids. (They also got stuck doing their dirty work —peeling oranges!). One of their accomplishments this year was to make a chart dis- playing the wrestling achieve- ments that were accomplished during the season. 26 umes FAR LEFT: 1975-1976 Pep Club and Mat- maids.

Two organiza- tions, the Photo Club and the Minni- Envoy staff, were very busy during the school year, not only doing , but, also, learning. Experience has always been a very good teacher, as the Photo Club has demonstrated. With a great deal of effort, interest, and practice, they have produced many excellent photographs for the yearbook. The Minni-Envoy staff concen- trated on producing a school paper that reported the happenings surrounding the lives of the students at MHS. Pam Rye was the Editor and Pam Fier the Assistant Editor.

BOTTOM: Paper Staff members for 1975-1976. 29 ’‘TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS The 1975-76 annual staff worked vigorously to achieve a changed and improved yearbook. Several members of the staff attended the yearbook workshop in Willmar in search of new ideas and returned home with the Skyscape layout. This style is meant to resemble the skyline of almost any large city (Minneota?). This effect is obtained by stacking the pictures or top of each other, with all of the pictures at the bottom of the page being even horizontally. However, variety is achieved by staggering the height of pictures on the complete two-page spread. This new plan allowed the staff more room to work with many different styles and sizes of pictures. Another interesting feature of this year's annual is the use of popular song titles to headline appropriate pages. We felt that it would add a new dimension of fun when reminiscing years from now. To coincide with the other changes in the yearbook, a new title was suggested and voted on by the student body. The for- mer title, Minn-hi-ann , was retired after 52 years of faithful service, and the new name, Viking Ventures , excitedly stepped into its place. To conclude an interesting year, the new editors for 1976- 77 were selected. Heading the staff will be Nancy Byrne, Senior Editor, and Kathy Engles, Copy Editor. 30 FAR LEFT: Kathy Engels fo- cused her concentration on writing an article. LEFT CEN- TER: Mrs. Diane Wisniewski, Advisor; and Betty Full, Editor; decided on a picture they want- ed to use for a layout.

RIGHT: The debate team for 1975 included: ROW 1: Pat Hennen, Jyl Josephson, and Nancy Przymus. ROW 2: Tim Full, Doug Josephson, Pam Bot, Pete Breyfogle, and Scott Holien. The topic for the debate team this year was resolved the Develop- ment and Allocation of Scarce World Resources Should be Controlled by an International Organization. The af- firmative team presented the plan, which explained why the status quo was not effective. The negative team then argued against the affirmative's plan. The two teams consisted of (A) Nancy Przymus and Jyl Josephson, affirmative; Pete Breyfogle and Scott Holien, negative; and (B) Pam Bot and Pat Hennen, affirmative; Doug Josephson and Tim Full, negative. Both teams were coached by Ms. Linda Berger. nJdm hi QJke -Moon -MatiityoldM' Minneota High School's production of Paul Zindel's, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon-Mari- golds represented Region 3A at the state one-act play festival at Park Center High School in Brooklyn Center. The play centers around the Hunsdorfer family: Beatrice, the mother, played by Sharon Appelwick; and her two daughters, Ruth, played by Lois Donaldson, and Til lie, played by Julie Dero. Beatrice supports the family by taking care of old people like Nanny, played by Janet Buysse. The plot develops out of Tillie s science experi- ments and competition in the science fair with Janice Vickery, played by Cindy Drown. The author very deli- cately communicates the idea that people are shaped by their environment and draws with marigolds and colbalt- 60. The play was directed by Ms. Linda Berger, and technical and artistic design and construction was done by Mr. Jim Bowen. Pat Traen was student director, and Doug Josephson was technical assistant. Laura Dero and Pia Oskarsson did make-up designs. 33 IT WAS A RIGHT: Members of the 1976 National Honor Society included: ROW 1: Pam Rye, Pam Fier, Janice DeCock, Carolyn Rabaey.

VERY GOOD YEAR 34 r The 1975-1976 Speech season was very successful and rewarding for many students. The Speech Team, com- prised of 40 students in grades 8-12, participated in numerous invitational speech events under the coaching and supervision of Ms. Linda Berger and Mrs. Susan Gigstad.

They raised money for the chapter by running the concession stand for the athletic events and attended many state and district meetings. They also served the community by furnishing babysitters for the Red Cross Bloodmobile. This year's FFA Chapter had a very active year. Although they were busy selling fruit and garden seeds, plant- ing gardens at the Minneota Manor for the enjoyment of the elderly, and taking a few trips, they took time out to entertain the student body, with Frenchy The Clown as the main attraction.

The boy's from Jason, a neighboring boys school, contributed fifty cents to what they called the stuck pot that would be given to the boy who got stuck dancing with the worst looking girl for the longest time. The girls at Worthington heard about their plan, and decided to create a stuck pot of their own. Alice Ann (Carol Derynck), the brain of the school, (who was hot in chemistry) mixed up some hydrogen sulfide and used it as a perfume. No one would dance with Alice because of the horrible smell, until the brain from Jason, Edward Mott (Jim Tillemans), sat by Alice and recognized the smell of her perfume(?). They soon became involved in an interesting conversation concerning chemistry formulas. When her parents found out about the prank, they were dis- graced, and informed Alice that they were withdrawing her immediately from Worth- ington. When they arrived the following morning, they discovered that Alice's father worked for Edward's father. Realiz- ing they had acted on a foolish impulse, they decided to leave Alice at Worthing- ton. There was a happy ending when Ed- ward and Alice learned that they had won the stuck pot. The play was directed by Mr. Herb Pagel and Student Director Sue Maertens. 40 LEFT: Alice Ann's (Carol Derynck) parents informed her that they had changed their minds and that she could stay at Worthington's Women's Academy.
