The next highlight of the year was to be chosen as WCCO Prep Band of the Week. This was a great honor for all in the band and all the other stu- dents, too, because a large cheering sec- tion represented Sacred Heart. Then, to keep our summers busy we were also asked to play for one day at the Renville County Fair. And then, another big thrill was to be chosen as one of the top ten bands in the state to play at the Minnesota State Fair for an afternoon and evening perform- ance. Of course, we have all our other activities through the year such as con- certs, marching in parades, and playing at games. This has been an eventful year for the Sacred Heart Band.

The Last Will and Testament of the senior class was read by Marcus Reinertson to conclude the eve- ning. Calypso Joe vas the official greeter. The teachers puffed and panted after the Bunny Hop. They were Mrs. Klitzke, Mr. Klitzke, Mrs. Hellzen, Mr. Hellzen, Mrs. Isaak, Mr. Isaak, Mrs. Northhouse, and Mr. Northhouse. Punch was served from a wishing well. Dancing seemed to have a way of making everyone very thirsty. HEARTS PREVAILED AT SEMI-FORMAL % Red, white, and pink decorations adorned the gym with the main point of interest being a large, red, flat-bottomed heart with a gold arrow through it. Why the flat bottom? The heart was too big to get through the doors. Music was furnished by a combo composed of a graduate of last year. Dean Rademacher, Dean's sister Judy, and two of Dean's classmates from the MacPhail School of Music. Waltzes seemed to be the most popular numbers.

These people competed in the District Contest at Ren- ville on March 21 against the winners from the other towns in the District. The spark at the September P. T. A. meeting was a chalk Curtiss Chelin gave a talk on talk given by Carol Jean Nelson and Diane Frank concerning coin-collecting. He received their experiences at a summer art workshop, coins and letters from Russia, Egypt and several other coun- tries. OUTSTANDING EVENTS OF 1959-1960 Linda Gerde represented Sacred Heart as the top speller in Renville County. She received this honor after defeating all other contestants in the home and county spelling contests. She competed in the regional Spelling Bee in Minneapolis which was sponsored by the Minneapolis Tribune. Fruit boots marked a fashion note in 1959-1960. Renville played host to Sacred and Danube for a very profitable College-Career Day. The program enabled us to hear representations from colleges of our choice and various fields of work. Dummies to make, copy to write, snaps to collect, pictures to take and deadlines to meet kept the Viking Staff and our advisor, Mrs. Isaak, on the go. The editors and assistant editors were responsible for the editing and general make-up, while staff members helped with copy assignments.

They also set up goal posts and used footballs, helmets, track shoes and baseballs. Our symbol was forever true to our athletes. ATHLETES HONORED BY LIONS CLUB Jerry and Gary added interest with a cornet duet. Over 200 people attended the athletic banquet sponsored by the Lion's Club hon- oring the lettermen and cheerleaders on April 18. John Kundla,basketball coach at the'U' of Minnesota stressed the importance of high school athletics in forming proper study habits, diet, and conditioning. He also told the lettermen that great ath- letes are not born,but attain their skills as a result of much hard work and pract ice. 27 Starting at left, going counterclockwise, Robert Berge, John Homme, Rudy Hoff, Floyd Gary Kohls, Paul Fieldhammer, John Gunter, Flaata, Paul Schwinghammer, Le Wayne Bene- Jerry Romness, Robert Skogberg, Jerome diet, Don Ruter, Marcus Reinertson, Dave Heggerston, Gary Engen, Tom Deason, Brian Hoff.

To increase school spirit and also as their money mak- ing project, the girls sold homecoming buttons and shakers. Homecoming week, which was sponsored by the Pep Club again this year, was very successful. The Pep Club purchased much needed megaphones with a Viking emblem. But as ever, the Pep Club's main purpose was to stimulate school spirit and loyalty. JUNIOR PEP CLUB LeWayne Benedict Robert Berge Bonnie Benson They labored for their trip.'

SENIORS VISIT WINDY CITY At four A.M. Thursday, May 5, 1960, the twenty-six seniors embarked on a three-day excursion to Al Capone's home town, the vindy city of Chicago. After a trying ten- hour ride on the Milwaukee Road, they ar- rived at the Sherman Hotel where they stayed for the duration of their time in Chicago. Thursday night the seniors saw Chicago by night. This tour included Chinatown, skidrov, the different racial colonies, and many landmarks made famous by Scarface Al Capone. The evening was com- menced by a boat ride on a very rough Lake Michigan. Just relaxing, boys? The next morning, bright and too early, they went on a tour which included the fam- ous Lincoln Park Zoo, Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Science and Ind- ustry. The Museum of Science and Industry was probably the highlight of the tour. The seniors saw themselves on TV, heard their voices on the telephone, went through the U-505, a captured German submarine and a coal mine. Friday night was free for optional attractions, such as Ben Hur, Home From the Hill, and Can Can. Saturday at 10:45 P.M., they arrived back at Bird Is- land safe and sound. The seniors had a generally enjoyable time. Special thanks are due to their special chaperones,Mr. and Mrs. William Klitzke. Mr. and Mrs. Klitzke had a good reason to look tired after three days of chaotic fun. Three hours were spent at the Muse- um of Science and Industry. 40 I V [ s THIRD: Bruce Skaibeck, Curtiss Chelin, Paul Fieldhammer, Rodney Treague, Jerry Hegger- ston, Tom Deason, Dave Enestvedt SECOND: Harold Bagaus, Sue Dybsand, Janet Harried, Carol Nelson, Diane Frank, Pat Perish, Mary Knutson, Sandie Schroeder FIRST: Carol Lausen, Edel Stoa, Deloris Schulte, Ruth Schimming, Wanda McBroom, Sharon Holien, Darlene Hanson ABSENT: Ruby Olson JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Darlene Hansen, Secretary; Mary Jane Knutson, Treasurer; Edel Stoa, Vice- President; Sue Dybsand, President CLASS OF 1961 Juniors prepared for the Junior - Senior Banquet, the biggest social event of the year. 42 CLASS OF 1962 They seem satisfied with their Latin.
