 Tough” was the best expression crosscountry ski coach Jerry Wilke could think of to describe the ’78 all girl team. 1978 being the first year that there was such a team, the girls didn’t have much experience going for them. The team was made up of twelve girls, ten of whom were on the varsity team, and a few unofficial boys. The girls made up a strong team because many of them had been in fall sports preceding the cross-country ski season and that competitive Minnetonka attitude prevailed. Whether they were good or not, they looked like it in their new, tight, and sexy” (Wilkes said) uniforms. Many kids also, were able to invest in ski package for a minimal price. A set course was five kilometers and meets usually took place at Cleary Lake Park and Highland Park. Three kilometer relays were also a part of the competition. Technique was the main thing that had to be worked on but sophomore Disa Larson seemed to l e born with it. She had the best time on the team and Wilkes felt that she couldn’t be beaten! Looking ahead it appears as though the progression of the girls cross-country ski team will be up hill. PAGE 27: ROW 1: Jill Warner, Tracy Ann Oconasck. BACK ROW: Amy Grade, Disa Larson, Tracy Smith.

Senior year, the time you’ve been waiting for. You become the top of the heap, the oldest and wisest” the creme de la creme. It was also finding yourself a k credit short during 4th quarter. And how could we ever forget the experience of being turned down by our favorite college? How could we leave all this behind? This was our last year to knock around like a total fool with all our friends, who next year will be scattered all over the country. It was a time to make the most of because soon it was over and just a thing of the past. It wasn’t all peaches and cream, but we had a good time doing the things we did. It seemed like for so long we looked forward to senior year and graduation with such anticipation, but as the time drew near to leave, then we felt sadness at losing all the good things we’ve had. There will always be so many little memories we will remember and carry with us long after we leave the hallowed halls of MHS and live our lives in the real world. We'll be remembered for what we did, good or bad. but we were what we were, the class of ’79 and finally we can say bon voyage. PAGE 28:2: Debra Bundc puls on n sparkling performance.
