Gussied Up On the wall of the cafeteria a 15-foot paper watch watched'' over the couples at the Fire and Ice Dance. The watch signified the theme, The Time of Our Lives. To some couples the theme had special meaning. My senior year has been the time of my life, said senior Chris Olson. As usual, the dance was held in the lunchroom, but with the decorations students hardly recognized it as the room they eat in everyday. The decorations really spiffed the place up, said Kara Krakefll). The dance was held on February 6th from 8:00-11:00, with music by Spirit Unlimited. The students that attended, found it to be a welcome break from the hum-drum days of February. — Katy Youel Fire And Ice Dance 29

The King Candidates surprised everyone by wearing Tails And Sweats A ROYAL SMILE — King Jim Anderson looks dapper in his cape and crown. The votes were in, the winners were determined, and on February 3 at the ice arena the Royal Court for 1988 was selected. Our King was Jim Anderson, the Prince was John Evans, the Squire was Todd Pregler and the Paige was Derek Johnson. As a prelude to the coronation the student-student broomball game between the Cemetary Raiders and Frank was played. The Cemetary Raiders won in overtime and went on to beat the faculty team with a score of 3-2. Playing at the ice arena was neat for all who participated. KING'S COURT — Squire Todd Pregler, Prince John Evans and Paige Derek Johnson represent their grades for 1988. WHAT A SAVE! — The faculty broomball team's defense blocks a shot on goal. YEA JIM!! — Classmates cheer for their newly crowned royal court. Team Frank played a finesse style, and it got us a long way said Greg Larson (12). At 8:30 p.m. the coronation itself began. As the jazz band played seniors Mike Barbouche and Katy Youel announced the candidates and the senior escorts. Homecoming Queen Beth Johnson then made the selection by pacing up and down in front of the candidates and hugging the winner. The King's Proclamation was read by Jim Anderson. It was an exciting event in the midst of an exciting week. — Katy Youel 28 Coronation

 Academics Academics excelled like never before. New classes and new curriculum gave everyone a sense of the unexpected. A new word processing lab was completed sooner than expected allowing students to use it right away. New teaching techniques were introduced such as sustained silent reading. Consistently my students tell me that they like it and that they often read more outside of class, said English teacher Mrs. Lonnie Oiseth. While most of the learning occurred in school, field trips continued to provide valuable experiences outside of the classroom. Whether it was a trip to the science museum, or a short jaunt to the taping of Twin Cities Live, you managed to attend at least one. But, some field trips were much more than a few hours long. Some became a three or four day trip if traveling was involved — something few students objected to. Sophomores had the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C. for four days which included a trip to the White House and Smithsonian Institution among others. Taking a foreign language also meant the opportunity of going on field trips, but going to a foreign country was by far the most exciting field trip offered. New college-level English classes were offered and students jumped at the chance to take them. I liked the idea of Honors English students being moved into either the college-level class or into regular English. It pushed us to take the harder class which will help us to prepare for college, said senior Peter Gokey. The unexpected appeared in smaller, less noticable ways. Whether it was the best report you had ever written, or the worst test you ever took, those little surprises kept things interesting. — Lara Putrich LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! - Junior Mike Schauer learns how to operate a video camera while filming Mrs. Abele's Honors English class.
