CENTENNIAL Viking 1978 Salutes Sacred Heart This year Sacred Heart is celebrating its centennial, so the Viking in- cludes in this yearbook some scenes from the past. The Greetings From Scared Heart postcard shows three of the early churches. They are Our Saviors Lutheran Church, First English Lutheran Church, and Ebenezer Lutheran Church. Although the Ebenezer Church burned in 1963, the congregation now worships in the former Lutheran Free Church building. In 1880 the school was moved to town northeast of where the village hail now stands. In 1901 a school was erected on its present site. High School courses were added in 1904, and seven students graduated in 1908. The old school is pictured BELOW and the present school is pic- tured BOTTOM. 5 CENTENNIAL The Way We Were ... And Are Changes in the appearance of Second Avenue are evident in the scenes BELOW, a series of pictures from the horse and buggy days to more modern times. RIGHT is a picture of Second Avenue in 1978. 6 The most accepted story for the origin of the name Sacred Heart relates that Louis G. Bris- bois, a French pioneer in Hawk Creek Township, established a mission for French half-breeds and Indians. Because the mouth of Hawk Creek formed a heart shape, the mission was named Sacred Heart. The surrounding area gradually acquired the name even after the mission no longer existed. 7 What will I remember? The class trip, play, prom, graduation, the OUR MEMORIES BE WITH US TO STAY WE'LL REMINISCE ONE DAY YOU AND I TOGETHER SHARE WILL NEVER LEAVE THEY WILL ALWAYS BE THERE. games, unending bus rides, noon hour conversations, and just being togeth- er. I want to forget the bad times, the silly arguments over trivial matters. But the laughter mixed with tears, the unity we shared, will be enough. — Kathy Skalbeck Randy Frelborg and Stephanie Strandjord, 1976 royalty, are pic- tured RIGHT preparing for their part in the coronation ceremony.

HOMECOMING Gail, Charlie Are SHHS Royalty Gail Erickson and Charlie Ober were elected to reign over the SHHS Homecoming festivities. A large crowd attended the coro- nation on Thursday evening. Homecoming 1977 was a memorable event. Throughout the week there were special activities including the new Hat and Sock Day, which was very successful. For the dance the KQIC Disco Unit pro- vided the music. But probably most memorable was the postpone- ment of the game from Friday to Monday because of unusually cold and heavy rain. Although the Vikings lost, it was a well- fought, close game and helped to make Homecoming 1977 special for everyone involved. 11 BAND Dr. Tiede Compliments Band Very nice spirit in the band which comes out in your performance, said Dr. Clayton H. Tiede, judge at the local contest-clinic.

The faculty and seniors were their guests at a catered supper held In the commons area. J. Martin, master of ceremonies, welcomed the guests; Pastor Flak gave the invocation; D. Santjer read the toasts to the senlrs; D. Enestvedt read the toasts to the juniors; and K. Beekman, the senior will. Pictured BELOW are the prom hosts and hostesses: J. Samuelson, T. Giese, L. Smith, and S. Skalbeck. PIECES OF APRIL April gave us Springtime and a promise of the flowers; And a feeling that we both shared, and a love that we called ours. And we knew no time for sadness, that's a road we each had crossed. We were living In a time meant for us, and even when It would rain. We'd laugh It off. I've got pieces of April that I keep in a memory bouquet. I've got pieces of April, and it's a morning In May. We stood on the crest of summer, beneath an oak of blossomed green; Feelin' as I did in April; not re- ally knowln' just what It means; But It must be then that stands be- side now, to make me feel this way; Just as I did In April, and it's a morning In May. I've got pieces of April that I keep In a memory bouquet. I've got pieces of April, and it's a morning in May. 24 ABOVE: Guests serve themselves at the buf- fet supper. D.

KQIC furnished the music for the prom which was held in the beautifully decorated gymnasium. 25 A team is a group of people bonded together for success. But when success doesn't come, the team feeling is still there. Knowing that you helped the team is a feeling that words can- not describe. There are times when losing on a team can contribute more to life than winning individually. — Kevin Beekman FOOTBALL Exciting Varsity Games Draw Loyal Fan Support Vikings repeated last year's 2-7 record but created excitement and enthusiasm in their well- fought, close games.

Dear Classmates, You've been very special friends to me. We've shared so much during the past twelve years ... laughter, joy, excitement. Yes, we shared tears and sorrow, too. We came to- gether as strangers, grew and learned together, shared together as friends. Now we realize how much we've learned from each other, from our struggles, our mistakes and our failures and also from our achievements. We have become one class of spe- cial friends, and I thank you for be- ing just that. As we go our separate ways, I hope we'll enjoy the com- pany of good friends all through life — friends who really care! Thank you for being my special friends — I'll miss you!
