The three F’s; Firm, Fair, and Friendly, were carried out to the letter by the administration in their dealings with students, their parents, and the teachers of PHS this year. The smooth and efficient operation of the school was the responsibility of the office staff. The cooking staff prepared lunches and served two shifts of hungry stu- dents. The custodial staff, was responsible for the general maintenance of Preston High School. ABOVE: Viva Shanahan. Patricia Rogstad.

Goals of helping a student communicate more effectively with people, realize his role in society and better understand humanity were set by teachers. A time of involvement swept the students of PHS into the aware sub- ject, history. Teachers and students evaded no subject and went beyond conventional social into the nitty gritty of what its all about. Some of our his- tory teachers also doubled up as physi- cal education instructors. The audo-visual unit of PHS was moved into the library this year. Our guidance department was expanded to further help the PHS student. 12 CHARLES SPARKS-B.S. Mankato State College, Jr.-Sr. High Li- brarian BARBARA UPTON-B.S., M.S.

Models and projections were in use in all the mod- em math classes at PHS. In science, projects were started and continued throughout the year in preparation for the science fairs. The physics students diligently worked on such topics as force, motion, energy, reflection and refraction. In the labor- atory, the chemistry students used in- struments such as balances, burets, slide rules and learned exacting chem- ical procedures. The biology students perfected their dissection skills on a variety of animals. 15 CONSTANCE MILLER-B.A., St. Olaf College; General Music and Chorus BRUCE SPILLUM- B.S., Uni- versity of North Dakota; Instru- mental Music.

Concerned mainly with the care of home and meal planning, the home economics classes also stressed the art of sewing. The manual arts and agriculture classes prepared students for indust- rial-art related careers. Drivers education was again taught as a classroom subject for sophomores. The senior high band concentrated on marching, pep band music for bas- ketball ga,mes and concerts. The chor- us was active with its seasonal concerts. The art department offered a senior high class and exhibited its work in the cafeteria. t JANET ANDERSON—Band 1,2,3,4; Accom 1.2,3,4; Ensemble 2,3,4; Band Offi- cer 4: Choir 1,2,3,4; Sextet 1,2.3,4; Solo 4; Jayettc 4; I HA2.3.4, FHA Officer 3,4; Bu- gle 1,3; Class Officer 3; Royalty 4; Speech 2, 3.4; Thespian 3.4; Class play 3; Girl Stater 3; One-Act 3; Spanish Club 4.

EXCHANGE STUDENTS This year Preston High School was fortunate to have two exchange stu- dents. This is quite unusual for a school our size. Luis Dieguez, an 1SE student, was the first to arrive. Luis was with us for three winter months. He attended senior classes with his ‘brother' Doug Boysen. Luis is from Lima. Peru. Our other student was Teresa Boni, or Cris as she was known to us. Cris is from Sao Paulo. Brazil. Cris was with us for six months. She attended junior classes with her ‘sister’ Kathie Gildner. We hoped that their stay with us at PHS has been as enjoyable to them as it has been for us. ABOVE: Kathie is getting help with her Spanish from Cris. or is it Kathie giving Cris help with her Spanish. 26 JUNIORS ROW 1: Mr. Wildegrube. K. Gildner. B. Jahnkc. L. Tien ter, G. Anderson, E.

KING CRAIG AND QUEEN ROSANNE REIGNED OVER 1969 HOMECOMING This year’s Homecoming was a week of activity and suspense. Float con- struction officially began September 29 with the different classes busy at work. Also on this day our Homecom- ing King was announced, Craig Thau- wald. Thursday night, October 2, marked the 1969 Homecoming coronation. People perched on the edge of their chairs, children stood on their tiptoes; all breathlessly awaited the crowning of our new queen. Softly the band played our school song as King Craig revealed the unknown identity of our new queen, Rosanne Hall. Following the coronation everyone gathered at the parking lot to view the bonfire. The cheerleaders led the crowd in cheers as the pepfest conclud- ed the coronation evening.

The 8th graders took first place in the Jr. High competition with their float “They Can’t Ketsup,” while the juniors took honors in the Sr. High competi- tion with their float “Knock the Bell Out of Lanesboro.” Janelle Gatzke, the reigning Princess Kay of the Milky Way, enlightened our Homecoming by leading the parade and attending the football game and dance. On Friday night, the Bluejays faced the Lanesboro Burros, defeating them by a score of 8-0. After the victory, couples filled the school gymnasium to dance to the music of the Unchained Mynds. 37 Listen. Professor. Ju Ju’s supposed to be a regular female witch doctor, isn’t she? If she can perform some magic for us, wouldn't that be all the proof we'd need that she’s the real McCoy? The first big. sensational thing that's hap- pened here in ten years, and the citizens have to learn about it from a paper in an- other town!

I got a bigger kick than that, man. JUNIOR ONE Long hours of hard work and prac- tice brought forth the “Cannibal Queen.” Under the direction of Mr. O'Reilly, the play emerged as a success. Student director. Greg Anderson, also assisted him. A devil-may-care attitude contrasted with a penchant for not always being able to tell the truth; which almost gets Allen Kent in trouble, when he accepts money from his uncle, the Professor, to bring a Cannibal Queen to the U.S. from the Solomons. He is unable to keep his part of the bargain, so conveniently uses Brenda Day as his supposed Cannibal Queen. The appearance of the real Cannibal Queen, Celee! Listen! 1 won! I won! 1- -ACT PLAYS Ku Ku, upsets the entire scheme. “Dope”, the one-act play, is about Louie, who takes drugs and his friend Porse, who has begun to give drugs to Louis’s sister. Celee. Discovering the threat to his sister. Louis is shattered and he sees in a slow motion night- mare. set off by drugs, what his situa- tion is. Fighting against the need for drugs, he forces Porse to a showdown. Facing ridicule, defeat, but more im- portant. aware that this is an ultimate test, he finally leaps at Porse to kill him. They fight and the action twists into a hair-raising end in which Louie meets a bloody death. 39 BUGLE STAFF: ROW 1: V. Hodkinson. P. Eulbcrg, A. Kelly. ROW 3: R. Bradt, N. Wahl, Krogstad, D.

A modified mosaic style for this year's Jayette was decided upon by the staff, after attending an Inter- Collegiate Press workshop in Winona. Mosaic style is based on the ancient art from. Pictures are placed on a page so they bleed gradually from the cen- ter line and have an even margin sur- rounding them. With the cooperation and ability of the whole staff, the annual was com- pleted in time for distribution. We now await your approval. The Bluejay Bugle Staff strove to build the Bugle into a more informa- tive paper, capable of keeping a stu- dent up on all school activities. New ideas, enthusiasm, and good old journalistic creativity found their places on this years Bluejay Bugle. Without the help of the reporters, typists, and assemblers, the paper would not have been so successful. - A Bluejay Bugle editor Sandy Bastian and Jayette editor Joyce Runningcn. 40 LEFT: Jayctte photographers.

CLASS OFFICERS STUDENT COUNCIL Our class officers work together as a team to make the best decisions for each class. We know our officers will be the leaders of tomorrow. The student council seeks to promote citizenship among the student body. As elected members, these fellow stu- dents voice opinions, represent ideas, and try to provide for our needs. Some of the projects of the council have been sponsoring Homecoming, fur- nishing the Christmas tree, and serving as guides for Parent-Teachers Confer- ences. They also have a part in the dress code. 42 ABOVE: Freshmen: P. Fitzgerald. C. Tien- ter. A. Bunge. B. Sikkink. 3: L. Wubbels. J. Voight. T. Morse, C. Thauwald. Student Council: ROW 1: J. Snyder. C.

Open for senior high students with an interest in science, the Science Club was responsible for the Annual Preston Science Fair. The club also planned field trips to the Mystery Cave and to a large oil refinery. Again this year, Preston has had a debate squad. Mr. Falkner tried to give the debators more experience by increasing their tournament competi- tion. Thespian Club pointed up the dra- matic potential of some of our stu- dents in PHS. Thespian Club is an ex- cellent way to display your acting ability. Membership in Thespians is obtained by securing major acting roles in full length or one-act plays, by doing superior work in speech, or by working enough hours on behind-the- scenes play crews. Spanish Club is another of the new clubs this year at PHS. For all of us Spanish Club members, “la comida” has had a special meaning. At our Christmas Spanish Club meeting, we ate Spanish food to prove that we are true Spaniards at heart-well, stomach anyway. 45 I HA OFFICERS: ROW 1: J. Eulberg, re- porter; C. Mangan, historian.

The FHA girls increased their treasury by selling calenders and placemats. The Lunchroom was trans- formed into a “winter wonderland” when their annual Christmas dance was held. The admission to this dance was a can of food. This collection of food was distributed throughout the county to welfare families. Other projects were hiking, district meetings and the state meeting. Future Home- makers of America has proven to be a very interesting club with lots of hard work, fun, and many rewarding accom- plishments. G.R.A. is probably the most enjoy- able club at PHS. This club was de- signed for various purposes of empha- sizing the need for girls’ physical fit- ness. The girls began in the fall with field hockey. Then they went indoors to the very well liked basketball sea- son. Softball in the spring brought a close to the year’s activities. FHA; ROW 1: Miss Ericson. M. Schultz. M. Gross, P. Krogstad. P.

During the four years a stu- dent is in Agriculture, he has built a number of projects. Each project in- volves planning and then he must impliment these plans. Many different units of study are pursued in Agriculture. A small sample would include studies in feed- ing and management of hogs and of cattle, marketing of farm products, operations of farm cooperatives, identification of wholesale and retail cuts of meat, and management of our soil. In our classroom work we make good use of outside speakers, field trips, films, and filmstrips to give added dimensions to the subject matter. Through our chapter activities we develop a sense of organization and of cooperative effort. One such activity this year was the chapter tour to Austin in March. Parliamentary procedure receives heavy emphasis all through the years the student is in FFA. The officers practice parliamentary work once a week for most of the school year. Milk testing is an interesting acti- vity in the freshman year. Meat judging and identification interests the sophomores, the farm account- ing unit is a useful unit for the juniors, engines is of real interest during the senior year. Shop skills taught during the four years of Agriculture includes basic and advanced arc welding, wood- working and carpentry, oxy-acety- lene welding, steel forging and paint- ing. F.F.A. ROW 1: B.

With a large number of underclassmen in the band the band has taken on a new look for the future. This fall the marching band per- formed at all the football games and at Homecoming the band put on a special half-time show. The band also marched in the Homecoming parade. In October the band participated in a marching band competition at Rochester during the fine arts festival. Three concerts were given by the band this year; the annual Fall con- cert and Spring Concert as well as a patriotic Winter concert. A brass en- semble played carols at the choir's Christmas Concert. The band also provided pep music for the home bas- ketball games and several wrestling meets. In January the band took part in the annual Band Parents fund raising Carnival and helped to make it the most successful to date. Several members of the senior band participated in solo and ensem- ble contests. The entire band prepar- ed several numbers for the large group contest in the spring. This summer the band will still be active. They will go through many marching practices and will present 10 summer evening concerts. Band: ROW 1: J. Runningcn, D. Trogstad, K. Foss, S. Simonson. K.

CHORUS The world of song attracted many Preston High students this year. The senior high chorus grew to over 50 in number, with many male voices joining. Sporting new stoles for their robes the choir presented a new look and sound this year. Under the direction of Mrs. Miller the chorus gave its annual Christmas concert and the Spring Pops Concert with the band. The chorus also com- peted in the music contests during the Spring, and took several trips to hear college choirs in the area. 53 ATHLETICS Sports is a time; a time for learning, partici- pation, competition ... the barking of the football signals, the winning free throw, the long awaited pin . . . working as a team, keeping spirit high... knowing that the team had done its best; win or lose . . . fans . . . cheering, hoping . . .

GRIDDERS POST WINNING SEASON; FINISH IN THIRD PLACE With nine returning lettermen, prospects appeared good for the 1969 football season. But inconsistent of- fense and injuries contributed to a disappointing, although respectable 4-3 record and third place in the Maple Leaf Conference. In the season opener the Bluejays rolled over Spring Grove 46-0. The path appeared bright for a champion- ship team. Injury struck the Jays in the next game against powerhouse Spring Valley. Craig Thauwald, our out- standing back, was lost for the season with a broken leg. This injury brought on an unexpected loss to Chatfield. During this game injury struck again. Jeff Trende was sidelined with a bro- ken ankle. The highlight of the season was a rebounding win over traditional rival Lanesboro, by shutting them out 8-0 in our Homecoming game. This win gave the Jays momentum to squash LeRoy-Ostrander, as Don Rustad com- pleted 17 out of 21 passes for three touchdowns. Rain and mud set the scene for the following Harmony game. On the first play of the game, Steve Slostad achieved a lineman's dream by inter- cepting a pass and running 37 yards for a touchdown. The Bluejays went on to crush Harmony 34-6. The final game with Grand Meadow proved to be a low point of the sea- son. In the freezing cold Preston suf- fered a disappointing 8-22 loss. VARSITY TEAM: ROW 1: D. Hodkinson. G. Hoff, S.

Playing the schools that the varsity played they compiled a 3-3 record. This was a good showing as PHS had one of the smallest teams in the conference. With well over half of the team in the seventh grade the ‘C football team prospects for next year appear more promising. The players gained valuable experience while playing on the ‘C’ team in preparation for varsity foot- ball. ROW 1: N. Mcnsink. D. Wahl, J. Snyder, M. Strain, K. Corson, L. Vogen, C. Aug. ROW 2: E.

During the season the Jays contin- ued to chalk up wins by an average margin close to 20 points. With many impressive romps over district one teams the Jays were one of the best teams in the area. Only a disappoint- ing loss in mid-season spoiled a bid for a perfect record. This loss was avenged in the final season game with Grand Meadow. As the result of the outstanding record the Bluejays were favored in district tournament play. The first three games were won by large mar- gins as the Jays beat Spring Grove 67- 39, Chat field 69-41, and Rushford 69-44. Then it was the finals against de- fending champ Spring Valley. Preston pulled through with a 51-48 victory over the Wolves, with Gary Hellickson supplying 20 points for the margin of victory. Gary Hellickson and Jeff Knies had very impressive point averages with 19 and 14 points per game, respectively. Greg Hoff and Kiel Anderson had a very good season, as freshman play- ers helping the team out when needed. With all of these assets working to- gether, Mr. Denny had a very fine ball club. 60 vAKSI1 Y: ROW 1: Managers D. Green, S. Bestor. ROW 2: K. Himli, M. Brand, D. Ru: tad. A. Sikkink. S. Jaszewski, B.

B-TEAM BUILDS A 17-1 RECORD All of the credit for having a great season cannot go to the A team. The B team, coached by Dick Irish, had a very impressive season piling up a 17-1 record. Bowing only to Lanes- boro the B team’s record matched the varsity. The most important factor in all the games was the defense of the B team. The most points allowed was the 48 points scored by Lanesboro and the fewest points scored were the 16 by Houston in a 46-16 romp. The B team averaged 48 points per game while allowing only 34 points per game. Greg Hoff, Mike Fitzgerald and Jerry Hampel were the top scorers. Helping them out were Bob Linden and Norman Wahl.

With returning lettermen, the season’s hopes looked bright. The matmen, however, were trou- bled the entire season with injuries and lack of depth in various classes. The matmen, in the past three seasons, have changed coaches three times, which is hard on any team. This year the coaching duties were handled by Mr. Ron Johnston. The team quickly became accustomed to their new coach by winning their first two meets and greatly improv- ing last year’s performance. Districts were held this year at Chatfield. Four grapplers advanced to the semi-finals, with Ken Gildner receiving 4th place and Steve Slo- stad, Preston’s heavyweight, taking 3rd. Steve was the only Preston Wrestler to advance to the regionals. However, we rated high in the Dis- trict 1 Tournament, the strongest district in the state which produced the State Champion, Caledonia. Wrestling is an up and coming sport at Preston High School. This was proven by the addition of a new wrestling mat and the increased at- tendance at the meets. The 1969-70 “B” wrestlers were young and inexperienced. A poor turnout in the heavier weights caused the young grapplers to lose valuable matches. The team gained valuable experi- ence in their league competition. The outstanding wrestlers on the “B” team were Mike Underbakke, Jerry Arnold and Rich Gunderson, who has much to promise next year. 65 LETTERMEN: ROW 1: E. Marzolf. D. Green, J. Utley, J. Trende, R.

CHEERLEADERS LETTERMEN They're the unsung heroines of ath- letics, the cheerleaders. Trying new cheers and routines they cheered at pep fests as well as football, basketball and wrestling events throughout the year. During the summer the A squad cheerleaders attended a cheerleading camp at Gustavus Adolphus. The girls saw cheerleaders from other schools perform and they performed for everyone else. They came back to PHS and shared their new ideas and enthusiasm with the other girls. The lettermen club is composed of all the boys that are out for athletics at PHS. This fall they enjoyed using the football sled they sold candy to buy.
