Try to imagine what the school would be like without students. Think about it for a minute. Visualize empty lockers, vacant halls, unused textbooks, silent study halls, and unfilled desks. There would be teachers with no one eager to learn, announcements for no one to hear, meetings for no one to attend, and ad- ministration with no one to serve. Every school has students; but it is students that make each school unique. This is due to the fact that each has different talents and skills. Some arc athletes, others arc actors, while still others are journalists. Many arc a combination of several. One of the major things which widens the scope of activities is the fact that many of them take in people with more than one given interest. Take the yearbook staff for example. It attracts students who are photographers, journalists, and organiz- ers. Many organizations encompass so much more time and effort than people realize. Many people don’t think about such things when they read a school news- paper, watch a football game, see a play, or page through a yearbook. Many an editor or organization pres- ident have wondered if they will make it to tomorrow with their sanity salvaged. There are advisors who feel the very same way. Sometimes it makes you wonder if all of your work will pay off in the end. But when you hear the crowd cheer for you, see a person smile while reading your newspaper article, or witness the surprise on the faces of the students when the yearbooks finally arrive in the spring, you know that all of your effort has finally paid off.

Do you know the vital part of school life that spirt plays? That vague idea of school pride is what makes our school different from any other. Without em- blems, school colors, theme songs, and cheers, all schools would be alike. Each school searches for that one thing that will make them stand out from all of the rest. They want that one special cheer, gimmick, or style that will put them in a class by themselves. The purpose of all of this is to make everyone realize that it is school spirit that makes the life of the student a bit more interesting. It is the dress up week before Homecoming and the singing of the school song at every athletic event that expresses the school pride which the students have. You can tell the level of this pride by the loudness of the fans. 6 Theme This is true whether the game is home or away or if the fans be students, parents, or alumni. Every parent who has had a child active in any of the school activities knows what pride and school spirit are. Any student who has heard the applause of the crowd also knows what those simple words mean. Now you should realize that it is the sense of pride and school spirit that make being anything an honor-whether you are Homecoming King or Queen or a starter on the basketball team. It is the spirit of the students and the honors that they received that stick in the memories of the people in the community. This is what they will remember in the years to come.

When you subjectively analyze life, you find that it is like a puzzle. When you are young, the pieces seem to be in a state of disarray. It is as if you have just dumped out a 15,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. You have no idea where to start. The search for order begins. Many times you think, “My life will never fit into one scheme of things. This mess will never make any sense! All of these pieces will never fit together!” The search is not only for the order of the pieces, but also for the answers to the questions of the day. Everything that we do-from eating Wheaties to winning a football game in double overtime—acts as the molds for the pieces. It is for these pieces that we are searching. As the years pass, the framework takes shape; and as you mature, the pieces begin to fit to- gether. Before you know it, large sections have been assembled. 8 Theme You might wonder where the inspiration for the long search is found. It is supplied by your family, friends, and activities. Each and every piece represents a unique part of you. You, and you alone, can place the pieces into their correct positions. Everything that you do and every person that you meet hold clues to the total scheme of things that you are longing to assemble. When you reach your golden years, the task will be to fill in all of the details. You may think that the wait will have almost ended; but it has only just begun. It is then that you will realize that your life really does fit together. It is on your final day that you will see the final piece placed in its position. The picture be- comes clear, and you have finally succeed- ed in putting it all together! LEFT PAGE: Upper Left: Quarterback Steve Speer intercepts a pass to win the overtime football game.

Three new faces were seen in the English Department—Mrs. Crow son, Mrs. Benson, and Mr. Harlan. Along with the new teachers came two new classes. Both a class of Speech and Creative Writing were offered for the first time this year. They are offered in alternate semesters during the same period. The library was expanded, the wall between it and 101 study hall was partially removed and a new wall was constructed. The new wall makes 101 approximately one half its original size. Home Ec. classes remained co-ed for the second year. Two foods classes were offered due to an increase in interest. New Drivers’ Education books were purchased. Because of the decreased size of 101, the Drivers’ Education class met in the Choir Room on days when the entire sophomore class were to be in attendance. 12 Faculty LEFT PAGE: Dick Irish (Upper Left): B.S., Mankato State College; Classroom Drivers Edu- cation; Asst.

Faculty 13 Popularity Grows With Changes! 14 Faculty Many changes took place in the area of music. The band purchased new uni- forms. Stage band was again organized. The Senior Choir increased in size. The ensemble of singers formerly called Madrigal changed their name to Tapestry. They also expanded the types of songs they will be performing. One of their scheduled performances included a dinner theater concert at the Branding Iron. One of the major changes in the junior high schedule concerned art and music. Both the 7th and 8th graders have art 3 days a week, and music the other two days. This makes it possible for all of the junior high students to be in Junior Chorus. The popularity of the classes held at the Vocational Facilities continued. Area students participated in many of the varied curriculum offerings there, such as Health Occupations, Building Trades, and Auto Mechanics.

Faculty 1S Interest Triggers Expansion! Because of the added interest in the area of the sciences. Chemistry, general chemistry, and physics were offered. The science laboratory facilities were also expanded with the addition of a hood and an electronic spectroscope. The junior and senior high math de- partments and the health curriculum all received new textbooks. The gym floor was refinished. Growth also occurred in the history- social studies department. Two current topics classes were scheduled. A new program entitled “Congress in the Class- room” put out by Congressional Quarterly was included in the senior American Government class. 16 Faculty LEFT PAGE: Mrs. Gwen Denny (Upper Left): B.S..

Students found it convenient to do typing due to the ad- dition of a typewriter for student use in the office also. Changes also oc- curred in the vocational center office. Two part-time secretaries were em- ployed instead of the single full-time secretary employed last year. 18 Administration RIGHT PAGE: Upper Left: Mary Trende. High School Secretary.

The answer is simple-435 baking powder biscuits, of course. Making the lunches for all of the junior and senior high school stu- dents is not an easy job. Neither is that of being a custodian. Custodians do' everything from sweeping, vac- uuming, general maintenance and checking thermostats to repair work. Cooks 'A V 0 Division 23 Upper Left: Even though it rained on gradu- ation night.

The sophomore class waitresses were Sharone Aug, Barb Grant, Dawn Hellickson, Barb Hov- elson, and Lisa Huggenvik. Waiters were Bill Hansen, Scott Rustad, Peter Solie, Jerry Specht, and Steve Speer. The Grand March was at 10:00 P.M. Misty Morning provided the music. Earlier in the evening a banquet was given for the juniors and seniors. Mrs. Callanan catered the banquet. Graduation has once again come and gone. The seniors are now leaving the typical scene of PFHS to experi- ence new situations and go on to new horizons. The graduating class of 1978 consisted of 62 excited students. Com- mencement exercises were held May 26, 1978, at 8:00 P.M. in the Preston- Fountain High School gym. The se- niors decided on having three of their classmates as the commencement speakers. They were Virginia Aug, Kathy Miller, and Carol Jenson. Vale- dictorian was Kathy Miller. Co-Salu- tatorians were Elizabeth Arnold and Carol Jensen. Upper Left: Jay Ostrem gladly receives his di- ploma.

Excitement abounded at PFHS dur- ing the '78 homecoming week. The traditional spirit week began on Mon- day with cowboys and Indians day. Tuesday followed with inside out and backwards. The next day was enjoyed by all with hair and face day. Thurs- day was the highlight of the week with 50’s day and storyland charac- ters. The homecoming fever kept up throughout the week as the classes did the bunny hop and made pyramids. The photographers were also busy snapping pictures. Spirit kept growing as the student body chose the royalty candidates. The ten chosen represented the senior class at the coronation held on Thursday evening. Coronation remains as memo- ries for all those that attended. The 'll queen and king, Kathy Miller and Da- vid Synder were on hand to crown their new successors. Laughter and tears from the student body followed the crowning of Connie Ray and Flip Huggenvik. The bluejay fever ended for Thursday night with the home- coming bonfire and school cheers. Upper Left: Due to a strike of mothers, many students including Rhonda Vorwerk came to school with their clothes on inside out and backwards. Lower Right: Is this the true Alberta Aug or an imposter?

Homecoming 27 High Spirits Overcome Team’s Defeat Who said that the game must be won to have a memorable home- coming? Friday’s events began with the building of the floats by each grade. The parade started at 2:00 that afternoon. As the parade made its way along the streets of Preston the royalty, bands, and floats aroused the crowds of people for the exciting game that evening. Recently crowned homecoming king Flip Huggenvik commented, “The events of homecoming: the corona- tion, the parade, and the dance are a lot of fun; but the real heart of every- thing lies in the game itself.” And a big game it was. The Bluejays collided with the state-rated Cards of LeRoy- Ostrander. While our boys led throughout the game, the Cards broke 28 Homecoming through in the end to finish the game on top 17-13. “We played like a team, a real close team. These guys are the best,” said defensive captain Flip Huggenvik. The students really boo- gied with the Bluejay Fever at the an- nual homecoming dance following the game Friday night.

Seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock, ten o’clock, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock. MIDNIGHT! Hope to see the ghost tonight! This may sound like a child’s game out of your past, but when that deadline date arrives, it’s the battle cry of the yearbook staff. The staff has grown somewhat since last year. Many joined the staff when it was rumored that there may not be a yearbook due to lack of in- terest. The meetings were held on the usual Monday and Thursday evenings at 7:00 P.M. in room 106. Midnight Madness did set in for the November deadline. Although the book did not increase in size, improvements were made. Five color pictures on four pages in the opening section were in- cluded. The trip to the MHSPA Con- vention in Minneapolis in mid-Sep- tember proved to be a great learning experience. An example of this was the critique of the book by Judy Schell, editor of the Scholastic Editor. LEFT PAGE: Upper Right: Prima Klonna gives her wise advice 10 an inexperienced staffer.

The help of the two new edi- tors; Yvonne Cariveau and Blanche Ebert, and advisor, Mr. O'Reilly made this a successful year. Piecing it all to- gether started out with the editors spending time thinking up new ways to express the PFHS views. Staff members could be found all over pre- paring for the next issue of the news- paper. Upon handing it into the edi- tors, articles would be read and proofread and then sent off to the printers. Bugle came back ready to sell at 250 per copy. Model United Nations Club this year faced some unique challenges. Because of conflicts they would not be able to participate at Hanline University. As an alternative, the National Program held in New York City was selected. Four- teen students began the process of na- tion selection and fundraising. School 32 Bluejay Bugle jackets were sold, raising enough mon- ey for hotel accomodations. Three months passed before they were notified to represent the nation of Norway. The train trip to New York and UN partici- pation proved to be a unique experi- ence. LEFT PAGE: Left Mr. Hokcnson was the Ad- visor for the Model United Nations delegation.

M.U.N. 33 Students Voice Their Opinions in Varied Ways Last year the newly elected Student Council members were just learning the ropes and getting organized for the hectic year ahead. This year, as usual, the business began with Home- coming. This near-disaster was taken with a grin. There were people run- ning all over the school doing all kinds of things for the coming week. All sighed with relief when the week was over and done with. Even though Homecoming was done with, all sorts of new things were being discussed. They ranged from dances to movies to the vending machine. People were hearing all the shool news over KFIL this year. The news ranged from Mickey Mouse to the football score. The source of all this news was none other than the Preston Highlights radio show. The show was a fun but trying experience because of all the problems Troy. Eric, Kathy and Mary experienced. The high school also writes a col- umn for the Preston Republican. The authors of the Bluejay Wiretapping are Mary Grabau and Troy Knutson. These two come up with some ex- cellent articles for the paper. LEFT PAGE: Student Council (Upper Right): Row 1 Andy Walsh. Lewis Grebin. Paul Slat- tum. Allen Mar olf. Row 2—Jan Christianson.

The Cheerleaders devised a way for the team, hand, and fans to partici- pate. The song, “Cheerleader Strut” really is “Our team will shine tonight”. To brighten and lift every- one’s spirit, they also painted and hung signs in the halls. For money raising projects they sold cushions for the fan’s comfort during games. For people who needed a clean car, they had a car wash. This year the cheer- leaders have new uniforms for basket- ball and volleyball. Due to a heavy schedule, they had a hard time getting their pictures taken. LEFT PAGE: A-Squad Cheerleaders (Upper Left): Row I-Debbie Thompson. Sue Ander- son, Dawn Hellickson. Barb Hovelson.

Among the high- lights were a medley of songs per- formed by the talent team and various awards presented to the members. The chapter participated in many con- tests during the year. These contests were in the fields of dairy, general livestock, and parliamentary proce- dure. On November 7-11, eight chap- ter members. Mr. Mrs. Titrud, and Laurie, Connie, and Lois Ray traveled to Kansas City, Missouri, to attend the 51st FFA National Convention. Connie Ray was a member of the 100 member National FFA Chorus. Laurie was Minnesota’s candidate for Queen of the American Royal. On October 7, ten members and Mr. Tit- 38 F.F.A. nid participated in the World Dairy Expo in Madison. Wisconsin. Of the 114 teams participating, the team placed second. Shelley Fingerson par- ticipated in the Youth Conference on Cooperatives. This was held in the Radisson St. Paul, St. Paul, Minne- sota. Approximately 350 youths and 500 adults attended. The chapter’s major money-making project was candy sales. LEFT PAGE: Upper l ft: Sieve Wright welds his projeci.

Potential Shown For Future Leaders As the Future Homemakers of America face the 1978-1979 school year many activities are being planned. Some of the activities in- cluded adopting grandparents at the Preston Nursing Home, and helping shut-ins. Money-making projects were also being planned, including such things as selling apples, selling light- bulbs, and the traditional Snow-ball dance.

The theme of the convention was: “Zero in on a Better You.” There were 33 chapters involved and over 650 people attend- ing. There were many interesting workshops to attend given by profes- sionals from the surrounding area. All the members of the Preston-Fountain chapter played an active part in plan- ning and making the convention a success. Three new officers were elected for the upcoming year. District President. Dorle Grindland. said, “The convention was worthwhile, ex- citing, and a real thrill. The potential for tomorrow starts with us!” F.H.A. 43 Inexperienced Cast Attracts Record Attendance The amusing comedy, “Cheaper by the dozen,” was chosen for the Spring All-School Play. The play, written by Frank and Ernestine Gilbreth, was given under the direction of Miss Hillen. She found her first year of di- recting a play very challenging. The inexperience of a number of the cast members led to hours of demanding practice. Even though people became tired, they knew that their efforts would be well worth their time. There were a few members who had a diffi- cult time in memorizing lines. A spir- ited few kept the enthusiam of the cast at a high level. The three act play was centered around the Gilbreth family. Flash- 44 Spring Play backs by Ernestine and Frank, brought back fond memories of their father and family happenings. The fa- ther has an interesting way of raising his family. The comedy raised a record amount of money for the se- nior class sponsors. A record was also set in attendance. LEFT PAGE: Spring All-School Play Crew (Up- per Left:) Kevin Rcicks. Tom Ticntcr.

A large cast made the play a smashing success after many weeks of practice. The cast members had many unique experiences. As Taffy Brown glided into the room in French Grandeur, her shoe slipped from her foot, but she still managed to steal the scene. Another close call included the contin- ual dropping of Mr. O'Reilly’s break- able gift. All the excitement ended at the “wild and crazy cast party.

They competed in four levels of com- petition. Much time was spent on fa- cial features including sideburns and special makeup to show age of the characters. Each character portrayed a figure from Victorian society. The cast of “The Family Album” also seemed to excel in their interpretation of these beautiful Victorian characters. Behind the scenes the stage crew also played their parts with the skill of seasoned professionals. Everyone with “The Family Album” took great delight in this challenging piece of theater. This show enjoyed enthusiastic public support. LEFT PAGE: Upper Right: Charles pours him- self some more wine. ONE-ACT PLA Y CAST: (Lower Right): Row 1 —Yvonne Cariveau. Jane Duxbury. Mary Grabau.

The stu- dents sang a variety of music. They performed at Eigin-Milville in early November. Other concerts were also given throughout the school year by the choir. The Tapestry group decreased its size to sixteen members. They changed their name from Madrigal to Tapestry, because they wanted to sing a variety of music. New disco outfits were bought by the group members. These outfits go nice with their music with which they do choreography. The group held their Christmas dinner concert at the Branding Iron. They also performed their Christmas songs at Apache Mall in Rochester. 50 Choir LEFT PAGE: Upper Ijeft: Tapestry singers dis- play their Christmas spirit, when performing their Christmas concert at the Branding Iron.

Stage Band Musical Opportunities Broaden Student Talents Musical expression came in many forms. The stagehand was a newly de- veloped group this year. All those in- volved joined the group voluntarily. They practiced Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 7:30 A.M. The major, majorette’s, and flag girl’s talents were used in marching band. They practiced their routines for parades and also the Homecoming show. The band also worked hard to improve their marching skills. The two recorder groups added spe- cial music to the Tapestry perfor- mances. The groups put in a lot of work on their music after school. Recorders 53 Enthusiasm Sparked By New Uniforms The Junior and Senior Bands filled the halls of P-FHS with a variety of music. The music ranged from disco tunes and jazz to classical selections. The bands gave the annual joint Homecoming show which consisted of several theme songs from television shows. The Pep Band played at the designated football, volleyball, and basketball games. They supported all the teams well with their spirited music. Both bands had a new look. The Senior High Band had new uniforms and the Pep Band had new sweat- shirts. The Junior High Band inher- ited the Senior High Band's old uni- forms. New shoes were bought for both bands. The annual calendar drive took place and enabled the band to get new materials.

The seniors, who were the backbone of the team, were the first baseman Bruce Roelofs, who put a few homeruns over the fence. Bruce Miller played center field which was made exciting by a few off- the-shoestrings catches. Mark Larson was the big right hander who put a lot of big K’s in the scorebook. The Jays ended up with a record of 14-3-1, which qualified them for a strong sec- ond place. The Jays swept most of their opponents off the field, but when they had any competition they just tried all the harder. The Jays wound up the season with a 4 to 1 loss to LaCrescent in the district semi-finals. 1978 Baseball Scorebox P-F Opp. 17 •Rushford 4 6 •Harmony 6 II • Lanesboro 0 8 Rushford 2 1 •Spring Valley 0 10 Harmony 0 6 Grand Meadow 0 8 • Leroy-Ostrander 7 14 •Pacelli 4 2 Spring Valley 6 1 Chatfield 3 7 •Cotter 6 7 Lanesboro 1 10 •St. Charles 6 6 •Cotter 5 12 Leroy-Ostrander 2 1 ••LaCrescent 4 • Non-conference games. •• District semi-finals. 1978 Football Score box P-F Opp 8 •Cotter 21 20 •Houston 0 0 Harmony 20 36 Spring Valley 28 12 Leroy-Ostrander 17 16 Lanesboro 8 34 WykofT 0 38 Grand Meadow 8 16 Chatfield 12 Non-conference games. “I bet you guys a quarter that I get this guy.” This was one of the familiar war cries heard during the opening kick- off of the football games. The Jays weren’t the biggest or the toughest but they made up for it with their enthusi- asm. The Preston defense ate up their opponents with a vicious series of yard- stopping plays. This was the defense that stopped Chatfield on the goal line with a stand that would make the Vikings blush. John Ristau led the team in tack- les with 60 singles and 40 assists. The leading rusher was Kevin Haugstad with 1084 yards which was an average of 5.2 yards a carry.

The Jays capped off the season by winning the District 1 crown. The team also placed sixth in Regionals. Brad Hoff, by placing sixth in Reg- ionals, advanced to State where he fin- ished tenth. The “A” team put everything to- gether to finish second in District competition.

Spring Valley has been the big competitor, but they were beaten in a squeaker 51-47. Even though the girls' have been plagued with injuries they have swept most of their opponents off the court. Full credit was given to the girls' when they were rated ninth in state. Thrilling and exciting games were not unusual this year. Constant battles were fought under the boards for do- mination of the game. The Jays’ usu- ally came out on top even though they were shorter then many of their opponents. The Jays showed great en- thusiasm. It was not uncommon to see a body go flying into the crowd after a loose ball.

The class was split into four teams al- phabetically. The four team captains were Pat Callanan, Yvonne Cariveau, Flip Huggenvik, and Jane Kelly. Con- nie Ray and Mary Grabau were busi- ness managers. Each team captain col- lected all of the subscriptions and money from their team members, re- corded the amounts, and posted the daily totals on the chart in the hall. The money and subscriptions were then handed over to the business managers for double checking. The class set a new record for the total amount of money taken in. When all of the money was counted, the class made about $2,500. Prizes were given to each senior selling thirteen or more subscriptions. Ed Brekke was the top salesperson.

The junior class works hard at selling football concessions and putting on the fall play to raise money to put on the prom. The junior class votes to se- lect five sophomore boys and five sophomore girls to be waiters and waitresses. In the end, both classes have memories of the fun and excitement.

Along with those come American History, Julius Caesar, typ- ing. dissecting frogs and the opportu- nity to belong to a few or all of the organizations in the school. So, if you see a group of about six or seven row- die students come running into the school at about 10:30 on a Friday morning, you know they have all just passed the test for their permit.

Moving from junior to se- nior high band and or choir, from C- Squad to B-Squad in football, volley- ball, basketball or cheerleading, into one of Mr. Denny’s algebra classes and graduating from geography to CPS CES are the things that marie the changes from eighth- to ninth-grade. Freshmen 95 Second Year Provides Additional Opportunities School spirit and enthusiasm also grow with the second year of “high school. Being a starter in “C’-Team football, volleyball, or basketball, sew- ing for the first time in Home Ec., and doing your part in the shop assembly line are the things that make the 8th grade full of fun and excitement.

Environmental Changes Bring New Experiences ut Everyone knows what the first day of school is like when you are in sev- enth-grade. Mass confusion sets in. Thoughts of “How do I get to my locker?” and “Where is the lavatory?” pass through the minds of the new- comers. By the end of the first week, the students get into the swing of things. Little do they know, in eight more weeks, their schedule will change. Then it is chaos all over again. 7th Grade Officers (Upper Right:) John O'Connor.

It is current events which make up that final piece of the puzzle. All of the headliners of the year form the in- tertwining parts. These newsbreakers include the Camp David Summit, President Carter and Vice-President Mondale's visit to Rochester, the even split of the Minnesota House of Rep- resentatives by party, the mass mur- der suicides of the People’s Temple in Guyana, the 32 murders of John Gacy in Chicago, the death of artist Normal Rockwell, Normalization of relations with the People’s Republic of China, the power struggle in Iran, record low temperatures and amounts of snowfall across southern Minnesota and the farmer’s tractor cavalcade to Washing- ton, D.C. for parity. Have you ever stopped to think how much work goes into each page of the yearbook? It isn’t the copy pic- tures and headlines which make a book “First Class” but the dedicated staff who work for uncountable hours to put it together. The experiences at the weekly meetings don’t make it onto the pages finally printed. You might call 1979 the year of the rookies for the yearbook staff. Many interesting things happened over the timespan of the year-including fogged over station wagon windows, love af- fairs with incinerators, uncountable pic- ture retakes, lost layouts and costly cor- rections. These are only a few minor downfalls; but we still managed to come out on top. It was the major staff that made it all possible. Donna Klockeman became the first person ever to be Editor-in-Chief for two years. Without the help of Lori Peirce, Business Manager; Sherry Gillespie, Copy Editor; Beth Befort, Layout Edi- tor; and Mr. David Hokenson. “Dad” and Advisor; it could not have been done. While walking out of 106 Donna was heard to say, “This year was really great. I wish there were more pages to do ...!!” Just then she was quickly abducted before she could suggest adding another signature!
