The Peterian ’88 St. Peter High School Lincoln Drive Peter, MN 56001 Volume 29 Students at SPHS experience togetherness Together, students at SPHS created yet another year for the memory books. The school year opened with a bang as the panic of room finding, lock- er grabbing and the ever-present drow- siness surrounded students once again. People greeted friends whom they had not seen all summer, and to- gether they prepared to endure the gru- eling, agonizing months of school ahead. As the months passed, many high- lights of the year were celebrated. Who could ever forget the Twins taking the title of World Series Champions in Oc- tober? Homecoming was fun for all, as Teresa Gostonczik was crowned Queen, and the Saints football team shut out Fairmont 16-0. Christmas time came and went; so did Snow Week and the broomball tournaments. And what about Spring Break? Being the first for SPHS, it was brought in with style. Prom was magical once again as cou- ples danced and celebrated all night long. But none of this would have been as special if the friendship among stu- dents would not have been there. Together the good and bad times were felt. The new experiences were lived, and the road to the future was finally within view. Students grew and lived within the year, and shared with friends their hopes and dreams. The memories will last forever, as occasions are remembered within this book. Old friends will be found and dreams will trickle back to the year of 1987-88 spent at SPHS. Tears and laughs will be brought back again. Re- live the memories, moments and dreams that were shared and built ... together. ■ — Diane Dittrich and An- drea Hintz 2 — Opening Far left 7th hour commons students relaxing with Trivial Pursuit.

This was the question during the Homecoming Coronation. The crowning of the queen was very tense and memorable, not only for the queen candidates but also for SPHS students. At 7:00 pm on September 28,1987, SPHS's band started to play the school song Across the Field’. After the can- didates were escorted onto the stage, Student Council President Kirk Litynski walked around the group several times before placing the crown on Teresa Gostonczik's head. The question was finally answered and the new Home- coming Queen made her speech and read the schedule of the days of the week and all of the other events that were to take place during Homecoming week. Not only was the coronation a suc- cess, but success carried through the whole week ending with the Homecom- ing football game where the Saints de- feated the Fairmont Cardinals 16-0. ■ — Shannon Kennedy Upper left: The 1987-88 Homecoming court.

Coronation — 7 Students show enthusiasm during Homecoming Week Homecoming Week was a big event for St. Peter High School students. The week began with Teresa Gostonczik being crowned the 1988 Homecoming Queen and ended with a 16-0 victory over the Fairmont Cardinals. Each day the students at SPHS dressed in different costumes, begin- ning with hippie day, followed by op- posite gender day, blue and white day, college sweatshirt day, and the original mush day, which meant “come as you are. Homecoming Week still consisted of the Senior girls vs. Junior girls in a powderpuff football game. What would that have been like if the Seniors would have broken the tradition and lost the game? There was no chance of them losing, with Carla Ryan running in the only touchdown. Powderpuff was not the same this year. Rules were changed and new ones were added. There was no tackling and new referees called the game instead of the SPHS football captains. The cheerleaders kept the mood of the game light though, with water balloons and shaving cream. The Fairmont Cardinals arrived charged for a fine game. Their com- ments like, you’re going down , to St. Peter football players charged the Saints to a roaring stampede. The game was a fight for both teams, but the Saints proved their skills and scored two touchdowns and a field goal to win the contest. After all the excitement of the game, the festivities moved to the gym where the East Side Pharoahs rocked SPHS with their old style rock and roll at the Homecoming dance. Together SPHS students shared the moments and the memories that were engraved in their minds forever. ■ - Shannon Kennedy 8 — Homecoming Opposite page, left: Jason Michels, Barry Norberg, David ‘Borgie’ Borgmeier, and Correy Kewatt dress up as the opposite gender during Homecoming week Opposite page, right: Scot •Beef’ Peterson shines with colorful school spirit.

Homecoming — 9 10 — Fall Play Thespians present 16th century Italian comedy Last fall, the St. Peter High School Thespians performed the Italian play, A GAP in GENERATIONS. The director of the play was Eng- lish teacher Mrs. Gayle Anderson who was assisted by student director An- gela Duccini. The cast consisted of stu- dents ranging from ninth grade to twelfth grade. The cast was as follows: Amy Anderson; Jay Carlson; Bob Depuydt; Don Jaenisch; Kirk Litynski; Jenny Nygard; Kris Rustman; Gina Smith; David Torgerson; Nancy Torger- son; Matt VanHorn; Sara Wiebold; and Todd Worland. The crew put in many hours of work behind the scenes preparing the set and the props. They were as fol- lows: Chris Friedrichs as stage man- ager; Jody Kendall as prompter; Mike Pettis as lighting technician; and Janice Wilking as prop manager. The play was a comedy in which the performers were very colorfully made up. The plot centered around two old men who had worked all their lives and had missed out on the fun things in life, and how they took steps to change that fact. Audience members enjoyed the change of pace that this comedy of- fered, especially the colorful make-up. ■ — Angela Duccini Far left: Amy Anderson shows the mark that proves her heritage Upper right: Gina Smith does some fast reviewing before her cue Lower right: The cast and crew of A GAP IN GEN- ERATIONS.

Fall Play — 11 SPHS knows how to jam in the gym School dances gave the students a chance to forget about the everyday pressures of school. They provided a time for students to let down their hair, jump to the floor, and boogie. Students exhibited many styles of dancing. There were the spaz dances, where any random moves would do, and once in awhile a chorus line formed, or a long train of students would try to do something like the bun- nyhop. No dance was complete without a slamdance, which was something like playing bumper cars without the cars. Others chose to wait until the beat slowed and the band introduced the ever popular hug dance. At that point they would hunt for a partner and dance until the beat returned to a boogie style. Whatever students chose to do at the dances, one thing was sure; dances created special memories and oppor- tunities for students to enjoy them- selves together. ■ -Molly Mayer Opposite page, top: Sophomores Tami Sundboom, Nicole Osborne, Andrea Miller and Carla Olson share a joke at a fall dance Opposite page, bottom: With a little assistance from Susie Skillings, Kirk Litynski announces the best cos- tumes at the Halloween dance.

Students rolled up their pants legs and pinned them so that they were tight around the ankle. In hair styles the bobbed look was back in style for the girls, and the flattop was fashionable again for all those dar- ing guys out there. Of course students still had to have brand names such as: Gennera, Guess, Levi, Esprit, and Union Bay. For those students who happened to have a little more money, or their moms bought their clothes, Liz Claiborne, and Ralph Lauren were popular. Walking down the halls of SPHS in 1987-88 many found that the girls liked to dress up their day with skirts and dresses, while the guys would drag out their best coat and tie. If one didn’t feel like dressing up, he or she would just throw on an old sweatshirt and jeans. The colors in clothing were pretty basic like black, peach, khaki, and army green. Grannie or feminized combat boots were also a big hit. Heraches, Deck Shoes, and Cowboy Boots were often seen on the feet of guys. ■ — Dana Davis Lower left: Mike Rydeen shows his stuff in his Union Bay white oxford and baggy navy blue slacks.

Vice President Molly Mayer, Treasurer Bill Riebesell. and Sec- retary Sarah Pettis Many new activities organized by the Student Council Among the many clubs and groups in the school, the student council was re- sponsible for organizing the majority of activities that went on throughout the year. Besides putting on all of the dances, Spring Fever Week, Snow Week, and Homecoming Week, the student council organized many new events, including: the person of the week, the reciting of the pledge of allegiance, and a positive approach to school outlook. In the community service area, they contributed to the food shelf and Santa Anonymous. They also sponsored a blood bank at the high school. The Student Council sent out many surveys to get input from the students on how to change or improve different activities. Not only did the student council or- ganize many of the activities, but they also let some of the students get in on the action. For instance, Mike Frey was in charge of finding a band for all the dances that were held during the year. Also Kevin Hardesty, Nicole Heisler, and Teresa Gostonczik made the emblems that were put in the gym. Some students got involved in leading the school in the Pledge of Allegiance. The student council completed many new projects during the 1987- 88 school year. ■ -Dana Davis 16 — Student Council Going at it with a New angle One of the goals of the Publica- tions Class was to get off to a good start. During the summer Paula Dvo- rak, Susie Skillings, and Mary Mc- Carthy, along with adviser Sally Burdick, attended a yearbook work- shop at Gustavus Adolphus College. One hundred and sixty people, in- cluding fifteen advisors, from three different states attended the work- shop. The students learned how to plan their next year's yearbook with special emphasis on theme and design. SPHS took second place in the theme development competition for producing a mock version of this yearbook. So with the award wiining ideas, these SPHS students returned to school im- plementing new ideas for the coming yearbook. With the combination of the school newspaper and the yearbook, 303 tend- ed to be a very busy classroom. Wheth- er it was the yearbook or newspaper, everybody worked together trying to accomplish journalistic stories, exciting headlines and scintillating pictures. All will agree that the hardest part of the class would have to be the deadlines with good photographs and complete pages. The whole class spent hours of hard work and showed a lot of dedication, and they captured what this book is all about; memories. ■ -Mary McCarthy Upper Right: Kathy Bremer, computer editor, typed all of the yearbook copy into the computer.

Publications — 17 Future Farmers of America strive to be the best According to Jon Perrizo, FFA teach- er, ‘‘We did as well as other years, but the number of students was down. We did our best and we hope to keep the interest going.” The officers of the 1987-88 Future Farmers of America (FFA) were: Pres- ident, Dave Borgmeier; Vice-President, Mark Jaster; Secretary, Ann Jindra; Treasurer, Heath Hayer; Reporter, Joel Starks; and Sentinel, Brian Jaster. Obviously, one of the St. Peter Chap- ter’s policies is not to discriminate. One Above: David Borgmeier and his senior pacifier.

When Ann was asked how she felt being the only female in the group, she said “I don’t even think about it when I'm with the group.” The FFA did many interesting things this past year. Some members attend- ed the State Fair where they exhibited their livestock and took part in com- petitive judging. Their annual fundraisers, such as the corn drive and the cheese sausage sale, netted them a profit of $1,242.00. Six members attended the National FFA Convention in Kansas City. They were: John McCarthy, Brian Jaster, Chris Scheurer, Dan Willaert, Tom For- brook, and Carl Schwichtenberg. They enjoyed three days of touring and at- tending lectures. FFA members also took part in com- munity service projects in the spring. Although the St. Peter FFA Chapter had a very busy year, members agreed that it was a fun year. ■ -Angela Duc- cini, Joan Knutson, Brenda Murphy FFA — 19 Contest play cast and crew place third in Districts I NEVER SANG FOR MV FATHER, by Robert Anderson, was the 1988 entry in the District 13 One-Act Play contest. The play, directed by Mrs. Sally Burdick, had a cast of eight members who practiced from two weeks before Christmas vacation to January 29 in preparation for their performance at Shattuck St. Mary's in Fairbault on Jan- uary 30. On January 29 the play was shown to parents and friends in an open dress rehearsal. The competition included seven other plays from District 13 schools. At the end of the day on January 30 the cast and crew heard the results at an award ceremony that followed the last play. The St. Peter play received third place, which was first alternate to the region contest. The play, I NEVER SANG FOR MY FATHER, is centered around a middle- aged man, Gene Garrison, played by Erik Ostrom, and his father, Tom, played by Todd Worland. The relation- ship between the two has always been strained, and the play addresses Gene's attempts to become closer to his father in the last years of Tom's life. Gene's mother, Margaret, was played by Kelly Meyer; his sister, Alice, was played by Cerris Morgan-Moyer; Dr. Mayberry was played by Chris Friedrichs; the nurse was played by Amy Johnston; the waitress was played by Gwen Wersinger; and the orderly was played by Mike Morgan. According to Mrs. Burdick, the stu- dent director, Amy Anderson, offered a great deal of help and support to the cast, the crew, and the director during the weeks of practice and on the day of the contest. Crew members included: Jay Carl- son, lighting technician; Mike Pettis, lighting assistant; Mike Morgan, stage manager; and Janice Wilking, prop manager and rehearsal prompter. ■ — Shannon Prenzlow 20 — Winter Play Above: Kelly Meyer, as Margaret, listens to son, Gene, played by Eric Ostrom .

Katie Korteum. and Jodi Westphal Bottom: The 1987-88 International Language club members. As cultures were combined in the In- ternational Language Club, many mem- ories were made and shared by all. The club consisted of students who were taking a French, German or Spanish class. At the beginning of the year, during the organizational meeting, officers were elected. Katie Korteum was elected as Prime Minister, Jodi Westphal as Assis- tant Prime Minister and Krista Grochow as Secretary of State. With officers chosen, the group planned its activities for the year. The celebration of Mardi-Gras was a hit. Stu- dents sold foreign sweatshirts and, yes, that delicious, fattening foreign candy. Proceeds went to help pay for trips to foreign countries. To top off the year, students combined their ideas and artistic ability as they dec- orated the halls with many bright posters in order to celebrate Foreign Language Week. ■ -Andrea Hintz 22 — International Club Library club is bookin’ Shhh! Keep it down please! You're now in the library zone.” This was yet another busy and successful year for the library club. Mrs. Muriel Turrittin, librarian, and club members were constantly busy with the students; either helping them to find the right book or telling them to be quiet; and if they didn't listen — Two weeks buddy!” When club members were not busy with the students, they made good use of their time by carding and shelving the books and keeping the library neat and tidy. Members of the 1987-88 library club included Jeff Domras, Aaron Larson, Mike Frey, Sarah Pettis, Jeff Strand, Jerry Thompson, Kim Schultz, Kirk Li- tynski, Bill Riebesell, Suzie Schabert, Craig Dauffenbach, and Mike Rydeen. They were under the direction of Mrs. Muriel Turrittin. ■ -Suzie Schabert Top: The library club: Front row — Mike Frey, Kim Schultz, Bill Riebesell; Middle row — Mike Rydeen, Craig Dauffenbach, Suzie Schabert, Jeff Domras: Back row — Kirk Litynski, Sarah Pettis, Jeff P.

Library Club — 23 The marching Saints come marching in The St. Peter High School bands, un- der the direction of Mr. James Seiwert, contributed much to the spirit of the 1987-88 school year. The Marching Saints offered enter- tainment during the football games. The freezing temperatures did not hold the band back from rockin' the stands with such popular tunes as “Wipe Out ’, Twist and Shout , Johnny B. Goode , and “Barbara Ann . The band kept the crowd entertained at halftime as they performed magical interludes of the musical, WEST SIDE STORY, under the direction of majorettes, Jenny Nygard and Teresa Gostonczik. The color guard also added an exciting flair to the performance with a colorful rou- tine under the direction of Molly Mayer. The Marching Saints brought their talent inside when performing at an in- door concert in November. The jazz band and concert bands also gave pub- lic performances throughout the year. The pep band made many appearances at winter sporting events adding to the remarkable spirit of the students at SPHS. ■ -Katie Rogers 24 — Band Opposite page, far left: Drill team director, Molly Mayer displays her talent.

This is the golden rule for Mr. Steve Sandberg’s choir. Director Sandberg planned many ac- tivities for the choir in 1987-88. Togeth- er the group performed many concerts, and they also traveled to St. Louis to perform in the Music Festival. The trip required hours of fund raising by the choir members, and they successfully raised $1600. Four boys from the choir had the op- portunity to sing in the St. John's mens choir. Tom Werner, Josh Gravelin, Kel- sey Erickson, and Cameron Mahlum were among 500 boys who were cho- sen from all over the state. Together the choir tried to achieve the perfect note. The year of dedication to practice paid, and the results were easy to see: successful concerts, a memorable trip, and a special farewell performance by the senior choir mem- bers at graduation. ■ -Paula Dvorak I Bottom right: Erica Woods enjoys a Monday ses- sion of choir.

Orchestra achieves the perfect note A special closeness was seen in Mrs. Carrie Willodson's orchestra class. The small, but talented group performed to- gether enthusiastically throughout the year. Early morning practices helped the students to achieve a sense of inde- pendence. The goal was to work for yourself, yet they depended on each other to get the perfect sound. The or- chestra performed together with the choir December 14, as a Christmas spirit booster. The concert was really good. I guess I never realized how much time the orchestra spent so early in the morning to practice. They're really ded- icated,” Brenda Murphy said. The class set group goals as well as personal goals. Together they strived for their goals, and together they plucked through a year of great achievements. ■ -Paula Dvorak Orchestra — 27 Speech team members compete in many invitationals The 1987-88 SPHS speech team in- cluded Kirk Litynski, Jenny Anderson, Patty McAuley, Josh Gravelin, Kris Rustman, Amy Johnston, Matt Van Horn, Gwen Wersinger, Lora Winter, Matt Albers, Chris Johnston, Elisabeth Potts, Melanie Brew, and Jeremy Aufderheide. The students were coached by Mrs. Gayle Anderson, Mrs. Sally Burdick, and Mr. Donald Fos- burgh. The team went to many contests throughout the year and competed against students from other schools. In the Mapleton invitational, Jenny Ander- son won first, Kris Rustman won third, 28 — Speech Matt Van Horn won a red ribbon, Amy Johnston won a blue ribbon , and Lora Winter won a blue ribbon. At Jordan’s invitational, Elisabeth Potts won a red ribbon, and Kris Rustman won a blue ribbon.

Drama, humor, tragedy performed in Spring play Many new faces were seen on stage for the Spring play NICHOLAS NICKLEBY by Charles Dickens. The cast was one of the largest SPHS has seen for quite a long time with a total of 43 cast members. With such a large cast, it was difficult to get everyone there at one time. The cast’s first com- plete run through was opening night. The pressure was hot back stage, but to the audience the play was good and entertaining. The play centered around a young man named Nicholas Nickleby (Don Jaenisch) who received a job as a teacher in a strict boarding school. Af- ter a short while Nicholas tried to change the nasty ways of the dean, Mr. Squeers, (Mike Rydeen), the dean's mean wife, Mrs. Squeers, (Amy Ander- son), and his Uncle Ralph Nickleby (Mike Fienen). The plot is an entan- glement of many situations, but in the end good over takes evil and everyone lives happily ever after. The play was humorous on and off stage. The klutzy school boy scene was everyone's favorite on stage. Offstage everyone amused himself herself by venturing into the wig department or eating pizza in the loft. The play was directed by Mrs. Gayle Anderson, who was assisted by student director Amy Anderson. The play also held a special meaning for the older members of the cast. After the performance on opening night, the family of Edward Micus, a former SPHS acting student, was acknowledged for a cash memorial they gave in Ed’s name. ■ Molly Mayer and Brenda Murphy Spring Play — 31 Pre-prom creates memories The anticipation of prom was felt for many months prior to the big evening. Plans were organized, dresses were tried on, off, and on again, and there was a constant chatter heard about who was escorting whom. The prom committees began meeting in January and early February. They came up with 'Hollywood Nights’ as the theme, with the colors being black, hot pink and silver. The chosen theme song was ‘You Look Wonderful Tonight’ by Eric Clapton. With the theme chosen, plans for dinner and post-prom activ- ities were planned also. As the day of prom drew closer, the pre-prom jitters began turning into pre- prom excitement, and all were impatient for the big Hollywood Night to arrive. ■ - Andrea Hintz and Diane Dittrich 32 — Prom Far left: Brenda Murphy constructs the silhouette with a smile.

Prom — 33 ‘Hollywood Nights’ adds touch of class to SPHS A night of excitement and glamour was experienced on April 30 as prom goers saw the gym magically become “Hollywood Nights”. The day began early for many stu- dents who either gathered for breakfast or did their last minute shopping or tan- ning. The weather was beautiful, and the smiles on everyone's faces added to the sunshine. As the day continued some gathered at fellow classmates' houses for the fun of just being together. Others spent their afternoon at the park, lake, or at home preparing for the evening. After hours of preparations the time finally arrived for dinner and the be- ginning of Hollywood Nights. Stu- dents gathered at various places for dinner, including The Pub, Holiday House, Mexican Village, and Merays. The actual prom began with the Grand March. After a successful pro- cession of the couples, the students were finally together as one glamourous group. The band, GREAT NATION, played many top 40 songs and the students danced until the band could play no more. The prom was a great time, and it was great just being together with everyone, stated Brenda Murphy. After the prom, students made their way to after-prom activities. Many went to the Dive at Gustavus for an all-night dance and party. Others gathered at friends’ houses, and many gathered for an all-night bon-fire on the lake. The night ended too soon for many, but it was the beginning of many special memories. ■ -Paula Dvorak 34 — Prom Upper right: Jason Paul, Correna Gohlinghorst, Keith Pehling, and Tami Schmit gather for a pic- ture before the Grand March.

The feeling often felt was one of not having enough time to complete all those weekend plans. Students left school with many ideas on how to spend their weekends. Shannon Ken- nedy stated that she enjoyed spending time with friends, considering this was her last year. Many SPHS students found var- ious ways to spend the weekends. Jun- iors and seniors were often found con- gregating at Eric Hokanson's house to listen to music or to watch sporting events on television. Going to movies, partying, or shopping made up a lot of students’weekends. Joan Knutson said, I enjoyed shopping at Burnsville Center and eating at Red Lobster.” Many others made their own fun and if time permitted, maybe they even did a little homework. ■ — Mary Mc- Carthy 36 — Weekends Upper right: Chris Kangas enjoys a ride on her horse, Omi.

Weekends — 37 Snow week filled with fun and excitement Snow week was once again a week filled with exciting times. Monday evening the Snow King can- didates participated in a pageant. The pageant was a first for SPHS students. Those who went were treated to an evening of laughter and enjoyment. The smiles and giggles were shared by all when they watched Twinkle Toes” hit the stage. Kevin Hardesty, Bill Riebesell, Craig Dauffenbach, and Rich Favor showed all what 'great' ballerinas they were. Students also saw Eric Hokanson, Aaron Larson, and Cameron Mahlum do the “Beverly Hillbillies.” Trevor Brovold showed his special talents by playing the accordian, and Jon Davis and David Aasen played Mo- zart's Fifth Symphony on the drums. Wednesday, students were let out of their seventh hour classes to attend the Snow King coronation. The crowd was silent except for a few whispers from people questioning who would be King. All eyes were on Home- coming Queen Teresa Gostonczik as she slowly weaved in and out among the candidates. The gymnasium erupt- ed as Teresa crowned Eric Hokanson as the 1988 Snow King. The days of the week started out with snow gear day, followed by dress up day, slouth day, which meant dress as you feel , and gangster day to end the week. The broomball tournaments were postponed a week because of the cold weather, but the delay did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm. The winning team was the Great Gophers.

For some SPHS students it creates an escape into a more roman- ticized world. Others may use music for a hype, to get their day moving by grooving to their favorite tunes. Other students may choose to use music to relax themselves after a stressful day. Music reflects the mood of the times. It accompanies people on their daily routines. Music is there to liven up happy moments and to help make the sad and disappointing times bearable. SPHS students enjoy a variety of music. Preferences range from THE GRATEFUL DEAD to MOTLEY CRUE, to the VIOLENT FEMS to TIFFANY. Students listen to their music in a variety of ways. Stereos, Compact Discs, and MTV let the students ex- perience their favorite sounds. Other students choose to create their own sound. Eric Jentz enjoys play- ing his bass guitar, and Josh Gravelin plays a variety of types of music on his drum set or guitars. Concerts are another way SPHS students enjoy their music. Some fa- vorite concerts attended were Kiss, Aerosmith, Dokken, U2, and Jethro Tull. ■ — Molly Mayer Bottom left: Corey Leiferman and Brice Graf- strom jam to tunes over the noon hour Bottom Center: Mary McCarthy and Paula Dvorak enjoy spending their free time listening to albums.

Music — 41 Work offers job training The cash flow situation for students constantly seemed to be a problem. The only answer to the problem was work. Part time jobs played a major role in students' lives. For some, jobs were a major headache; yet for others they were a welcome relief from the hassles of the school day. A job provided responsibility need- ed for the future and the extra money that always came in handy. Some jobs included being a fast- food burger flipper at Hardees, pump- ing gas at Erickson's, a cashier at one of the stores, or driving a fork-lift at the Creamery. Whatever the job, the money was always welcome, and so was the ex- perience gained from that particular job. ■ — Diane Dittrich and Andrea Hintz Far lower left: Jerry Thompson and Jeff Domras shake and bake at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Work — 43 Drug-free students are No. 1 in Minnesota One chilly February day during sixth hour, students were livened up with a strange voice over the static filled in- tercom. The voice of Attorney General Skip Humphrey ended the suspense and told the students that SPHS had won the North Stars Challenge. For one very quick second, it seemed as if the entire world grew silent in preparation for the noise it was about to hear. Stu- dents were ecstatic from the start; screaming, clapping, and holding North Star posters up high for all to see. Even in classes that maintained or- der, enthusiasm was felt just by seeing the smiles of other students. For a small town like St. Peter, especially one that had been plagued by alcohol abuse, this was big news and a big change. The story was covered in the papers and even on the news. The students were celebrities for being a part of the No.1 drug-free school in the state, something for both the community and students to be proud of. As a reward for the students, the North Stars, along with the Attorney General’s Alliance against drugs, threw a party on Feb. 15. The gym was dec- orated with lots of balloons and ban- ners congratulating all the students. Free tee shirts reading “no added chemicals” along with free Hardees food and beverages were provided. Throughout the night, 200 North Stars tickets were given away in packages of four. Music filled the gym with sounds from Total Entertainment, a sound and light show that also involved students in dancing and air jamming contests. Mak- ing many students feel the importance of the big win was the presence of Skip Humphrey, Don Shelby of channel 4 news, and Brian Bellows of the North Stars. ■ Susie Skillings 44 — North Star Challenge Opposite page left: These juniors, Heather White, Jessica Faust, Todd Sundboom, and Kim Schultz have helped develop a SADD chapter at SPHS.

North Star Challenge — 45 Twins win Series In 1984 the Minnesota baseball fran- chise was on the verge of moving to Florida because of the lack of ticket sales. Three years later the noise cre- ated by the capacity crowd at the World Series reached levels comparable to the St. Paul International Airport. The championship was won on Oct.25 when the Twins defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in the Metrodome in Minneapolis to capture the World Se- ries crown. The Twins took the Cards for all they were worth and in the 7th game they thrilled the crowd with a 4-2 victory. The Minnesota Twins had made believers out of Minnesota and the rest of the country. In the past, Minnesota had always been close to winning a world series or a superbowl, but fell just short of that. The excitement also united a group of people here at SPHS who called them- selves the rat pack. Students met in Eric Hokanson's basement for all seven games and cheered the Twins to their victory. After the series was won the Twins stars were hailed immortal as they trav- eled the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul in a parade in their honor. The excitement from the parade made na- tional news, but it wasn't the only cel- ebration. Back home many people felt the excitement and it will just be one more event to make the ’87-'88 school year absolutely unforgettable. ■ Mary McCarthy Bottom center: Aaron Larson and Jon Davis demonstrate the good luck cover-up during the game.

The cheerleaders! The cheer- leaders! Rah! Rah! Rah! The St. Peter Saints cheerleaders cheered the Saints teams on. They cheered for football, hockey, wrestling, boys’ basketball, and girls’ basketball. The Saints cheerleaders had a new advisor, Mrs. Kari Welter, a foreign lan- guage teacher. Although Mrs. Welter commented, I enjoyed coaching and I really liked the girls; they were outgoing and enthusiastic,” she wasn't sure if she would coach again this upcoming year. Mrs. Welter was asked what she thought the highlight of the season was and she stated, That everyone did real well. Caron Moore, boys’ basketball cheerleader, was asked what her fun- niest cheerleading experience was and she stated, “The time when I was standing on the sidelines cheering and I was thrown into the bleachers by a player from Wells. Susie Janni, wrestling cheerleader, explained what it was like cheerleading, We all had a good time. We had fun making up little cheers for each indi- vidual wrestler. The tournaments were the best. Even though they were some- times very long days, they were fun.” Andrea Dvorak, hockey cheerleader, looked at it a different way by saying, “We all had a great time together. We are looking forward to the next season. We will miss the seniors but the young ones coming up will be fun too!” From great times to memorable mo- ments, no matter what sport, the girls would agree that performing as a cheerleader had its enriching moments. ■ -Joan Knutson Cheerleaders — 49 Opposite page: Senior Aaron L works hard toward a victory agains kato-East.

It also meant a lot of practice. Students involved in sports showed others their athletic ability. Whatever the sport, students put their ability through a rough workout. Getting prepared for a sport was hard. Some people who were in- volved in sports lifted weights and even practiced outside of practice. Athletes prepared for the sports in many and varied locations, from the golf course, to the track, to the gym, to the football field, to the pool. No matter where the practice was held, it was a hard workout and it all paid off, because the students did their best. All in all sports were a big part of the students' every day life in 1988. ■ -Susie Janni 4 Sports — 51 SPHS football remains on the move The St. Peter High School football team had a fun and successful season. The season was accompanied by many unforgettable moments and many great times for players, parents, and fans. The Saints started off their season by beating one of their biggest rivals, Le Sueur. Homecoming followed the trend as the Saints tallied another victory, beating the Fairmont Cardinals 16-0. The Saints continued with their victo- rious season and captured the South Central Conference Championship. Many players received special hon- ors for their outstanding performance throughout the season. Eight seniors Jay Kault Row 2: Manager Paul Nasburg. Man Dawson. Tom Werner. JeH Strand. Jody Mtnat.

Craig Dauffenbauch received the Blue Devil award, Rich Favor was named All-State on WCCO Prep team, and Eric Hokanson was named to the Academic All-State football team. Fans will long remember the ex- citement of the 1987 football season. The close friendship between the team- mates helped the players pull together and play as a team to the best of their ability. The memories provided by the season will stay with the senior mem- bers of the team as they pursue their education or careers. ■ — Katie Rog- ers and Jenny Fay Opposite page-upper left: SPHS kicker Mike Rydeen is victorious for Saints.

Senior Jenny Fay said. We had a fun season and we wanted to beat New Ulm, but we couldn't pull it to- gether. The team captains were seniors Nicole Heisler, Jenny Fay, and Katie Rogers. The team members were Kris Haukoos, Jenny Anderson, Laura Bowles, Staci Johnson, Mande Vanderheiden, Shawna Nelsen, Erica Woods, Tracy Theissen, and Michelle Domras. Coach Lynn Rislove was once again the coach for volleyball. Senior Captain Katie Rogers was asked how she felt about Coach Rislove and she stated, She was really supportive and really made practices fun. In the 1987 season, the girls had many dreams and aspirations. Some of them were fulfilled and as expected, some were not. Nicole Heisler summed up her feelings when she stated, “Varsity volleyball and volleyball itself was a big thrill. I hope newcomers to the varsity team have as much fun as I did. ■ — Brenda Murphy and Joan Knutson 54 — Volleyball Volleyball — 55 Far left: The 1987-88 volleyball team.

Cross country team runs for victory The Cross Country team really proved that they were tops, by qual- ifying for regions. The team's captain was Kevin Hardesty. The team won the district title for the first time since the change from AA to Class A. In addition to the team, two individuals advanced to regions as well; Kevin Hardesty and Mike Harmon. The boys qualified fourth and fifth at the District 13A cross country meet. Kevin said, Cross Country is a demanding sport; you have to have the desire to win ... Kevin will continue to run in college to keep in good physical shape and maintain his ability. Many runners prepared for meets differently. They psyched their minds and breathed deeply-relieving all ten- sion. Participants in the sport agreed that the 1987-88 team gave it their best. ■ — Darcy Rauchman 56 — Cross Country Opposite page-front row, left to right: Abbey Loscheider, Julie Fitzke, Rachel Witty, Kevin Hardesty Second row: David Borgmeier, Jeremy Holz, David Schroeder, Mike Fienen, Ken Hum- phrey Third row: Coach Fran Braunger, Paul Witty, Andreas Hendrickson, Stuart Nelsen, Mike Harmon, Ed Karl, and Brady Robinson.

They were 7-9 overall and 2-4 in the conference. The team also saw Teresa Gostonczik and Debbie Wilkin- son advance to state tournaments. Coach Bruce Arlt stated, This year’s team showed outstanding deter- mination and sportsmanship on the courts. The girls won the respect of a lot of teams and coaches by playing good tennis ...” Senior Teresa Gostonczik and Jun- ior Debbie Wilkinson were the first SPHS girls doubles team to advance to the State Tournaments. Even though the girls lost in the first round, they enjoyed the experience and had fun. In singles play Kari Knopick placed fourth in the Conference Tournaments at first singles. The most improved player for the girls was freshman Gina Letts. The most valuable player was Teresa Gos- tonczik. There were eight letter winners from the girls' team. They were; Teresa Gostonczik, Debbie Wilkinson, Lisa Li- tynski, Kari Erickson, Kari Knopick, Gina Letts, Renee Gostonczik, and Kir- sten Leiferman. The team placed second in District 13 and advanced to Region 4A, losing to St. Paul Academy in the first round of Regions 4-1. Lisa Litynski and Kari Knopick re- ceived bronze medals in District 13 at number one doubles. They also par- ticipated in the Region 4A tournaments at number one doubles and lost to Far- mington in the first round 6-2, 6-1. Senior Teresa Gostonczik conclud- ed, The season was a very rewarding one.

Tennis — 59 Boys’ basketball succeeds through team spirit They were quick ... strong ... and determined. These words can only be- gin to describe the St. Peter Saints boys’ basketball team. The impressions the SPHS team made during their 87-88 season are ones that will be remem- bered a long time. Practices paced the early part of the season, and when their first game rolled around they were ready. For the first time in 12 years the Saints won their opener. It was against Blue Earth- Frost-Winnabago at home in St. Peter. As the season progressed so did the team's performance. They started to show their Saint” spirit and began to dominate in their games. A memorable game was that which was played against number one ranked Wells- Easton. The boys walked away with a well deserved victory and the confi- dence they needed to win. They hit a seven game winning streak in the mid- dle of their season and seemed un- stoppable. The team proved they could win, and win big. Capturing second place in the South Central Conference was a big accom- plishment. This team was one that set goals, worked hard, and accomplished them. The Saints were seeded third in Dis- tricts, but finished 2nd behind LeSueur. The season ended with a 14-8 record. The Saints had good memories and fun times, and it all came about from working together-as a team. ■ -Nicole Heisler 60 — Boys' Basketball Opposite page lower left Trevor Brovold takes a jumper while warming up before a game.

Boys' Basketball — 61 Togetherness and winning = Lady Saints This is the best year the girls' bas- ketball team has ever had. The girls really proved that hard work is the key to success,” stated Coach Tom Burg. The girls started the season with a 15 game winning streak, yet managed not to be ranked in the Star and Tribune top ten poll. The day the girls broke into the top ten, they suffered their first loss to Blue Earth, losing by only six points. Still, this didn't stop them from winning the South Central Conference Cham- pionship. Another blow was dealt to the lady Saints when their starting center, senior Carla Ryan, was injured during the Blue Earth game. Carla was the leading scorer and rebounder for the Saints before suffering ligament dam- age to her knee. But, this wasn't all the Saints had to deal with. Senior Jenny Nygard also missed six games at the beginning of the season because she was sick with mononucleosis. All of these factors could have dis- couraged the team, but they still kept their spirits up. They worked together and overcame the barriers that threat- ened to hold them back. The fans also kept the lady Saints on the go; the team had an overwhelming amount of support from fans who came to watch them at home and away. In the post season play, the girls won the District 13 championship, and lost a heartbreaker in the first round of the Region 4A tournament. The lady Saints had a great year; one that will be remembered for a very long time by the team and the fans. They stayed together and proved that team work is the only way to win. ■ Suzie Schabert 1 ) 62 — Girts' Basketball Left Certa Ryan tips off the ball to her teammate.

Girls' Basketball — 63 SPHS hockey team completes rebuilding With only eight returning senior letter- man the SPHS hockey team thought it would be a rebuilding year because of the young players’’ said Jody Mines, senior captain. Despite an imperfect season (as far as the record shows) the Saints came on strong as they defeated New Ulm in over- time for the first time in five years. Mr. John Bigham, Varsity Coach, reflect- ed on the whole year and said, I hope my players have learned something about the game of hockey, and about their own abil- ities and knowledge in order that they can year be as good as they want to be. The 87-88 school year was the last year that the Saint Peter hockey team was to- gether. Due to the small number of players from both LeSueur and St. Peter, a merger was decided on for the two teams. Begin- ning with the 1988-89 school year, the team will be the St. Peter LeSueur hockey team. Kevin Koetke stated, Even though we didn't have a great record, we had a lot of fun as a team and we’ll remember our final year as the Saint Peter Saints. ■ Mary McCarthy Opposite left The sophomore line being aggres- sive and playing their positions.

Hockey — 65 Young gymnastics team beams with improvement At the start of the gymnastics sea- son, head coach Steve Sizer with assistants Scott Hanson and Shari Kramer were looking at a very young and inexperienced group of girls. Led by co-captains Berry Holz and Melissa Schmit, the gymnastics team put in extra effort to make up for their young age and inexperience. Much of the varsity was made up of junior high girls, but with the help of the older girls the team had come a long way by the end of the season, es- pecially on the bars. Although the team won only one meet throughout the season, many improvements were made to make the girls much stronger in future years. The im- provements on all four events; beam, bars, vault, and floor exercise, were very apparent in the Regional Meet. Both captains were out with injuries yet four individuals placed on beam, bars, floor, and all-around compe- tion. As a team the girls came in fourth place, a very big accomplish- ment for such a young team. Another high point in the season was the meet against Redwood Falls. Team mates reassured one another and scored 104 points against Redwood Falls who was ranked No. 10 in state. Throughout the season the girls struggled with age and inexperience. Yet they worked hard and were able to be proud of their performances. One thing the record couldn't mea- sure was improvement. The girls won in all aspects of that game. The girls felt positive about the season as a whole. “Even though we only won one meet, we are proud of the ac- complishments we made as such a young team, said Berry Holz on the season. ■ Susie Skillings 66 — Gymnastics Opposite page left: Junior captain Berry Holz gracefully strikes a pose during her floor routine.

Gymnastics — 67 Wrestlers look young, but promising The St. Peter Wrestling team started out with a big bang when they defeated Mankato East for their first Non- Conference match. Although they start- ed out well, their luck just did not seem to last. The Saints just did not have the heavy weights to match up with the other teams. They were a very young team with only four seniors, six soph- omores, one ninth grader, and one eighth grader. The conference was really tough,” said Aaron Larson. They went up against such teams as Blue Earth and Fairmont who were first and second in the South Central Conference. Although they did not have a lot of team power, they had a lot of individual power, such as David Borgmeier, Chuck Keller, and Wade Pehrson. The Saints were 1-6 in Conference winning their only match against Wells Easton. They were coached by Mr. Craig Drager, and Asst. Coach Mr. Tom Con- Ion. Their managers were Chad Pehr- son and Todd Meyer. Chuck Keller sums up the year by saying, “The team may not have won many matches, but the spirit and the togetherness was there throughout the season, and that's what is going to pull us from being a medium team to a great one in the years to come.” ■ Dana Davis 68 — Wrestling Upper left: The 1987-88 wrestling team.

Wrestling — 69 Come back victory over St. James highlights The baseball season started off with morning practices, and ended with memories of Barry Norberg pitching a fast ball that ended its trail through the air on J.D. Carlson's forehead, and of Mike Frey taking a bad bounce and catching a ball with his teeth. Not only were all the hard practices rewarding, but they also resulted in a come back to beat St. James 9-8 in the eighth inning. Another achievement for the Saints was the Brooklyn Center season Tournament. “We played well as a team, hit the ball and took fourth place out of eight teams,” commented Mark Mears. Although competition was not easy, the Saints managed to have a mem- orable season anyway. The togetherness of the team result- ed in many memories on and off the field. The 1988 baseball season ended with a record of 7-9. ■ -Shannon Ken- nedy Above: Jon Davis shows his throwing arm strength while making the final out.

The team ended the season 5-6 in con- ference and 7-10 overall. One of the biggest highlights of the season was beating undefeated Blue Earth for the first time in three years. This 9-7 win proved to the girls that they had potential, encouraging them and motivating them toward further wins during the last part of the sea- son. The team consisted of seven seni- ors and nine juniors at the beginning of the season. In order to add more depth to the team, Coach Keith Bense later added freshmen Amy Yost and Cathy Stamps. Amy played third base and Cathy played left field. Concerning these younger additions to the team, senior Katie Rogers stated, We seemed to improve in our performance, and Amy and with improvement Cathy encouraged everyone to work The team had a lot of good times, harder. The two were a very big as- and the memories will last long after set to the team.” the win-loss record has faded. It was In many the games the team would start off well, but there would be one inning where things would seem to fall apart. After that one inning the they would have to work harder to get back on track. Junior Kris Haukoos said, “I feel that we had a wonderful season; we lost a lot of games because of one inning, but we had great team spirit and a lot of fun. Districts were held on May 23 and 24. St. Peter played LeCenter in the first round and beat them 19-3. In the second round against number one ranked Jordan the girls lost 3-4. “We played a really tough game, and we were ahead until the fifth inning”, said senior Jenny Fay. Jordan was sweating it out throughout the whole game.” a year of ups and downs, but the team enjoyed it all; especially the time TOGETHER. ■ -Dana Davis Above: Kris Haukoos gets ready to throw the opponent out at 2nd base.

Tri- captains Rich Favor, Jody Mines, and Jeff P. Strand provided the boys with leadership and experience. The same applied for the girls as co-captains Jen- ny Nygard and Carla Ryan also were experienced tracksters. Both boys and girls performed very well individually, even though their sea- son records did not show it. Some areas were stronger than others; how- ever, the entire team provided contin- uous support for one another which helped individuals perform to their full potential. A major highlight of the boys’ season was when Heath Hayer broke the SPHS pole vault record at the first meet of the season. Heath ended the season by placing fourth in the state meet. An- other highlight at state was Ethan Al- len’s silver medal in the 200 meter dash. One example of togetherness dis- played throughout the season was seen in the boys’ relay team. This four- some included senior tri-captain Rich Favor, junior Dustin Bakke, and soph- omores Ethan Allen and Heath Hayer. The team excelled in competition and won the gold medal at the state meet. In conference competition, the boys also placed first. Rich Favor was honored with the award of the South Central Conference Most Outstanding Athlete. The members of the boys' and girls’ track teams will probably never forget the 1988 season. The two teams proved their ability to support one an- other and succeed in many individual events. ■ -Katie Rogers Track — 75 Top: Eric Hokanson kneels down, relieving one of the more stressful moments on the green.

There was an increasing number of students interested in golf this year, so a junior high golf team was added to the curriculum. Returning lettermen from last year were: Eric Hokanson, Kevin Hardesty, Amy Schwegman, Mike Pryor, Paul Witty, Jenny Anderson, and Craig Allen. There were a total of six boys and six girls on the varsity golf team. The SPHS golf team hosted the Aanonsen Invitational at Shoreland. Involved in it were Fairbault, Blue Earth, Wells, and St. Peter. The St. Peter boys placed first, and the St. Peter girls placed second. This in- vitational is named after sophomore history teacher, Mr. Carl Aanonsen, who coached the SPHS teams for many years. Mr. Aanonsen continues to be an avid golfer and maintains his interest in the SPHS teams. Senior, Paul Witty commented, “We had a great team; this was prob- ably one of the strongest teams I’ve been on.” Looking at the whole season jun- ior, Katie Korteum remarked, “Although our record did not show our ability, we did have the ability to do great.” The toughest competitors were Le Sueur for the boys, and New Ulm for the girls. Despite these two teams, St. Peter came through with quite a few wins in the regular season. In tournament action, Eric Hokanson, Kevin Hardesty, Jenny Anderson, and Amy Schwegman advanced to regional competition, and Eric and Amy represented St. Peter in the state tournament. ■ -Shannon Pren- zlow Top center: Boys varsity memtjers: Enc Mokan- Above: Assistant coaches John Koller and Dave son, Craig Allen, Paul Witty, Mike Pryor, Kevin Souers , along with Coach Ed Rundell pose with Hardesty, and Chad DeBlieck receive a first the members of the girls' varsity team: Berry place award in the Aanonsen Invitational at Holz, Andrea Dvorak, Janine Hardesty, Katie Shoreland.

Golf — 77 Boys tennis team wins conference; advances to State Boys tennis had an overall successful season. The season started off with a bang when the team beat number one seated Blue Earth, a team that was un- defeated for 111 matches during the regular season. Another great moment happened for the Saints when they beat St. James to win the South Central Conference. This was the first time in 30 years that the team won this honor. David Aasen commented, My most memorable moment was the first match when we beat Blue Earth, and also beating St. James to win the South Central Conference. It was a great feel- ing to be classified as number one. The varsity team consisted of: David Aasen, Trevor Brovold, Scott Diede, Todd Bergeson, Fred Cohrt, Nicholas Hagge, and Todd Worland. The team was 12-0 overall during regular season and was 6-0 in con- ference. This was still not the end of the road for the SPHS tennis team. The entire team advanced to state and individually Scott Diede and Todd Bergeson ad- vanced as the second doubles team, and Trevor Brovold and David Aasen advanced as the first doubles team. In the overall team competition the Saints beat Crookston 5-0 to advance to the team finals. The team placed second and received silver medals for their hard work and effort. This year was a memorable one which the whole team will never forget. They set records and reached all of their goals. Together they proved that SPHS can go the distance and beat the best. ■ -Lisa Rilling and Suzie Schabert 78 — Boys Tennis Top left: Fred Cohrt stretches for a great return.

It's true; students felt differently about the learning process. Some were remarkable achievers, while others slipped into the trap of pro- crastination and found it difficult to crawl back out. Yet different stu- dents still had one thing in common — learning was an experience shared by everyone. Students de- pended on teachers and each other. Class time brought students together to learn, and when there was time in Academics casual chit-chat and laughter brought a closer feeling. Similar views on hard tests, long assignments, and feelings of confu- sion allowed students to relieve an- ger and frustraton. Students felt bet- ter knowing they weren't alone when tension built. By the end of the year, students were not only smarter, but had got- ten to know classmates even better. ■ -Susie Skillings Academics — 83 Lower left: Adam Pehrson visiting the Pushkin museum in Russia.

Barb Engebretson, Mike Fienen, Adam Pehrson, Sean Kortuem, Angie McCoy, John Davey, and Jody Mines took part in the ten day tour. The group leader was Mr. Harley Goff, industrial arts teacher at SPHS. Other schools that took part in the tour were Amboy, Hutchinson, and Mankato, Minnesota and Ashville, North Carolina. Jody Mines, senior, said that the trip went through a lot of reconstruction before they left and even when they arrived in the Soviet Union. The group was to have spent two days in Leningrad; in- stead the group stayed only four hours. The changes that took place in their plans were due to an influx of visitors to the Soviet Union. The first stop was New York City. After a few hour lay over there, they departed for Stockholm, Sweden. They spent one day in Stockholm and en- joyed the scenery and the friendly peo- ple. From Stockholm, they flew to Len- ingrad and then to Kiev where they spent four days. They then took a night train to Moscow where they spent the remainder of their trip. Famous sites visited were Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral, Pushkin Museum and Gorky Park in addition to many other attrac- tions. The students did not go to the Soviet Union ignorant of what it had to offer. Mr. Goff held seminars for months be- fore their trip. The seminars covered misconceptions the United States and the Soviet Union have toward one an- other, history about their culture and heritage, and also a lesson in photog- raphy. Mike Fienen, junior, stated, My fa- vorite part of the trip was walking around the cities and meeting people. There was a lot of trading going on, but we also met people who weren't in- terested in trading but wanted to know about the American way of life.” Mike also added, The Soviets were very in- terested in what we had to say as long as we were open to their point of view.” The students individual efforts in- volved a scrapbook which included pic- tures and explanations of their com- munity, school, and family. The pictures they took will be complied into an ed- ucational slide show to be shown to Minnesota schools in efforts to broaden students minds on the unique lifestyle in the Soviet Union. ■ -Mary McCarthy Russian Trip — 85 Academic Decathelon team shows its intelligence The Academic Decathlon team from St. Peter went to state, placing second just behind Waseca. The Academic De- cathlon is a series of seven tests taken in areas of economics, science, math, language and literature, social science, grammar and fine arts. Students are also judged individually on the ability to give a prepared and impromptu speech. Each team consists of 6 members. The St. Peter team was as follows: Stu- art Nelsen, Scott Diede, Kirsten Hayman, Mollie Stapleton, Lisa Heilman, and Todd Worland. The team is made up of three sections; two var- sity members who are C” students, two scholastic members who are ‘‘B” students, and two honor members who are “A” students. These positions are determined by the students’ grade point averages. Each student only competes with members on his her level. The grand finale of these tests is the super quiz. At State all super quiz questions were based on the “Gift of Flight.” The breakdown of scores for St. Pe- ter was quite impressive. In the honors category, Stuart and Scott placed sixth and seventh overall. In the varsity di- vision Lisa Heilman placed third in es- say and Todd Worland placed third in Math. Erik Ostrom placed first overall as an alternate to state. The hours of practice, studying, and dedication that these students put into their activity could be seen in the end with the strong finish at region and their participation at state. Mollie Stapleton stated, “We had a lot of fun this year, and for the most part we came out on top when we needed to.” ■ Brenda Murphy 86 — Academic Decathelon Far top left The medal winners of the Academic Decathelon and their coach.

Academic Decathelon — 87 Knowledge Bowl achieves success in competition The 1987-88 Knowledge Bowl teams placed first and second in regional and participated at state. The members of the team were: Team one; Stuart Nelsen, Scott Diede, Todd Bergeson, Erik Ostrom, and al- ternate Andreas Hendrickson. Mem- bers of the second team were; Mollie Stapleton, Kirsten Hayman, Jay Carl- son, Don Jaenisch, and alternate, Gret- chen Hayman. Members of the team said that com- peting was a physical drain. One per- son is allowed to answer, and every round has sixty questions. When Mrs. Dee Steele was asked how she felt the team did, she stated, “They did well enough to represent Minnesota at Disneyworld in June at a National Academic Excellence Tourna- ment.” Kirsten Hayman concluded, I hope we win as big next year as we did this year! ■ -Angie Duccini Top right The 1987-88 Knowledge Bowl teams proudly present their trophies.

Math team scores higher than ever in divisional meet The 1987-88 Math Team was coached again by Edwin Rundell. Coach Rundell was aked how he felt the team did and he stated, Compared to the overall competition, we did a lot better than we have in the past. The team consisted of nine members. They were: Kevin Hardesty, Todd Bergeson, Todd Worland, Ed Karl, Paul Witty, Scott Diede, Derek Leivestad, Matt Van Horn, and Erik Ostrom. Six members of the team graduated in June and the remaining members plan to remain on the team. Concerning losing six members of the team, Derek Leivestad stated, “We've lost some good people, but our two top scorers will be back. Overall the team placed third in the Minnesota Valley Division out of nine teams, and Erik Ostrom qualified for state individual competition. ■ -Joan Knutson Math Team — 89 National Honor Society initiates 22 new members I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of the National Honor Society to which I have been elected; I will be true to the principles for which it stands; I will be loyal to my school; I will main- tain and encourage high standards of character, scholarship, leadership and service, was heard on May 18 in the SPHS theater. There were twenty-two members of NHS inducted, four seniors, eight jun- iors and ten sophomores. There were also six previous members, all seniors. New this year were two things; first a new advisor, Thomas Marten, and sec- ond, sophomores were inducted for the first time into the SPHS chapter of NHS. Guest speaker for the night was Mark Anderson, Director of Admissions at Gustavus. His speech focused on three ideas: Success; The Realities of the World Today; and A Blinding Glimpse of the Obvious. 1986-87 NHS President Kevin Hardesty said, “It takes a lot of work to be active in the community and the school, and it’s nice to have the awards like NHS to make the hard work worth while. a -Julie Hanson Top: David Aasen reflects on his education dur- ing his speech at the NHS induction ceremony.

The heat of the day carried over into the night and made the cer- emony one of the warmest in years. While underclassmen received some honors, many of the awards were given to the class of 1988 and even one award given from the class of '88. The senior faculty award was presented, on behalf of the senior class, to Mr. Jeff Olson He was voted by the senior class as the teacher who had the most in- fluence on the student body at SPHS. For the seniors the night assured them that all of their long hours of study and practice had paid off in the form of public recognition. The night will be re- membered by all as a way of marking the end of the 1988 school year. ■ - Julie Hanson Upper left: Mrs. Kreykes, Stacy Kreykes . and Heather Gordon enjoy ice cold pop and cake in the cafeteria after the ceremony.

Awards — 91 Special moments come with special kids Special Education is made up of a group of kids who worked hard during the school year to become the best they could. They went to classes everyday and pushed their abilities and talents to their limits. Even though they weren't in all of the classes, they added special mo- ments to each day. They took their turns in home-ec, shop, and phy-ed. They spent time with all of SPHS's stu- dents at lunch and gave out smiles and hellos'' when they passed in the hall- way. The kids in this program were even made more special by the teachers who taught them. Their teachers, Mrs. Betty Zins, Mrs. Joyce Zimmerman, Mrs. Ka- ren Ferrington, Ms. Jackie May, Mr. Bruce Arlt, Mr. Tom Burg, Ms. Ann Madsen and Mr. Steve Sizer spent hours helping them to achieve. These students accomplished many goals and strove to develop themselves both mentally and physical- ly. ■ — Nicole Heisler Upper right: Teresa Gondreau spends time work- ing hard in class.

Sev- eral courses were offered to help stu- dents in different career areas. Basic Automotive Mechanics showed the stu- dents how to repair and service au- tomobiles, and small trucks. Building Trades let the students explore the skill of building, and even building their own house during the year. Office Business Simulation provided students with the opportunity to work with the computer, and learn skills in employment seeking. The year around blocks helped stu- dents plan a career for the future. Cleveland students were shuttled by bus to St. Peter to join in the learning experience. The three, two hour blocks were great opportunities for students to pre- pare for their long-range goals. ■ — Shannon Prenzlow Top Left: Corey Kewatt and Michelle Koetke take time out of their busy schedule to repair a page in the workbook.

Together, SPHS academics make the grade Together, SPHS academics made the grade. Keeping busy with homework and trying to keep their heads above water seemed to be a ritual for St. Peter students in grades 9-12. Study halls were occupied with eyes buried in books and the library an- swered many students' prayers with topics for those dreaded reports and research papers. The new commons area helped a lot of stressed-out students and teachers relax for an hour a day. For students in AP or advanced placement classes it was extra-hard to stay on top while they kept up with their work. Many students earned scholar- ships and grants for their secondary schooling. Knowledge Bowl and Aca- demic Decathalon stretched the bound- aries of many intellectual minds. In this competition students competed aca- demically to beat other teams. Some students who had one or more studyhalls during the year prospered, and used every minute they had for studying. But some did get lazy during the year-right? Academics seemed to be less pop- ular and more stressful at SPHS, but everyone was striving to do his her best (most of the time) and more students seemed to be taking on the academic challenge and winning. -Nicole Heisler Upper Left: Ken Humphrey takes a break from his English assignment, ON THE BEACH Upper right: Dustin Bakke caught taking it easy in Com- mons.

Academics — 95 96 — People with People People were everywhere, no mat- ter where students went. These peo- ple were friends-the people students counted on for support in all of those rough times. Throughout the years of school here at SPHS, students shared mem- ories to last a lifetime. Senior Miki Rasche stated: Friends were very special to me. They always were there for me when I needed them the most, and they always knew what to say when I was depressed; they also knew that a smile said a lot. Students also received support from the adults at SPHS. Teachers, custodians, office staff and support staff offered help, advice, and friend- ship when it was needed. Students knew that the adults were there for more than just instruction. Memories of the people who af- fected their lives in 1988 will last for- ever in the hearts of many students here at SPHS. ■ -Darcy Rauchman Opposite page: Sophomores and juniors taking advantage of SPHS's Commons privileges.

People — 97 F acuity and staff SPHS teachers do more than just Besides all of the routine duties during the school day, many teach- ers showed dedication to their pro- fession by putting in extra hours. Hours of coaching assistance, helping students with homework, coaching speech and the school plays, working with students on ac- ademic competitions and just offer- ing general assistance made up many of those additional hours to the teach school day. The number of teachers at SPHS who give extra time far out numbers those who don't. In addition to those activity hours, teachers were also often seen at sporting events cheering on the teams. Unfortunately however, teach- ers also had to follow their stere- otypes and assign homework. ■ — Mary McCarthy Far left: Mrs. Laurie Burg explains the basics ol grammar to her 7th grade class.

After he received his teaching de- gree, Mr. McClintock had offers to teach in Africa and Saudi Arabia, but those did not appeal to him at the time. His third choice had been in Brazil, and after much paper work and waiting, Mr. McClintock was offered a teaching po- sition in Brasilia, the capitol city. He accepted with pleasure. The environment surrounding the school was generally clean. Most of the people had high standards of living, and most housing was in apartments. Students in his classes were from about forty nations and all spoke Eng- lish. Sometimes a student who couldn’t speak English would be enrolled, but he she would just find someone in the Joy Sanderson Art Schaible James Siewert Doreen Skjei Deanna Steele Shirleen Sylvester Barbara Turrittin Muriel Turrittin class who spoke his her language to translate. Some students could speak five to six different languages. Many students were under an ex- treme amount of pressure. Mr Mc- Clintock stated that it was every student for himself. They did all the work them- selves. Korean students were most pressured by their parents to do work beyond their abilities. Students had half-days of school, but were given many hours of home- work. Education was extremely impor- tant to the students because there wer- en’t many college openings for certain occupations. Mr. McClintock’s biggest problem was the culture shock of returning to the U.S.A. However, he said that his time in Brazil made him appreciate America. He concluded, When I stand up and say the Pledge of Allegiance, I mean it! ■ — Angela Duccini Kari Welter Patricia Wilharber Joyce Zimmerman Betty Zins Upper right: Mr. Scott McClintock relaxes in his room in the science department.

Faculty and Staff — 101 Photography fills spare time for Harley Goff Teachers at SPHS are very special. One such teacher at SPHS is Mr. Harley Goff, an industrial arts teacher. A little known fact about Mr. Goff is that he is an experienced photographer. Mr. Goff started his hobby back in 1971 while he served for the army in Vietnam. In Vietnam he flew helicopters at night, so he would have much idle time during the day. He soon became tired of swimming and reading, so he looked for something new to do. He found out that his home unit had a pho- tography lab so he decided to give it a try. He mostly took touristic type pic- tures for a photo journal. After his tour of duty, Mr. Goff attended a photog- raphy art class at Mankato State Uni- versity. At MSU Mr. Goff fine tuned his artistic work. Also at MSU he took a graphic arts course where he mostly learned printing press work. After graduation he started his photo arts work doing mostly stilllife. He also experimented with mixing col- ors and started working with farotyping, which is putting a glossy touch to pic- tures. In 1976 he put his skills to fi- nancial use when he taught a photog- raphy class at Albert Lea Southwest Junior High School. In 1980 he used his expertise to do the photographs for the New Ulm Junior High yearbook. Now Mr. Goff likes to work with old negatives to see what he can produce.

Faculty and staff — 103 F reshmen Freshmen join senior high The 1987-88 ninth grade was ac- tively involved in many changes; not only the scary change from junior high to senior high, but also the in- volvement in senior high activities. Many freshmen found that going from the oldest members of junior high to the youngest members of se- nior high was a scary event. “The dances were so much more exciting, and there were so many people there, said Greg Davis. As for weekend activities, fresh- men found excitement in downhill skiing, hanging out at Godfather's, and going on first dates. The boys' basketball C squad team found that they had much fan support, because for the first time, all freshmen girls who tried out for cheerleading were able to be on the squad. The many memories will never be forgotten for the freshmen, and many memories will be coming in the future years. But no matter what the memories, the freshmen will enjoy them together. ■ — Paula Dvorak Bottom left: Mr. Scott McClintock explains sci- ence to Stacy Kendall.

Kari began playing the harp four years ago. She spent many hours of practice, not only at home but in or- chestra class too. Before beginning on the harp, Kari played the violin for two years. She has played at weddings for extra practice and to earn some spending money. “The weddings were really fun to play at and the money was nice to spend.” Kari stated with a smile. Although Kari is very talented at the harp, her future plans do not include pursuing a career as a harpist. Instead, she plans to keep playing as a hobby after graduation. Kari received the harp as a gift and was very delighted. She feels that the many hours spent practicing and per- forming have paid off. ■ -Paula Dvorak Freshmen — 107 Freshmen Aric Stienessen Jeannie Stransky Ronald Styke Thalia Taylor Jennifer Theis Nancy Torgerson Jason Vogel Gary Wass Leah Weiss Sarah Wiebold Shawn Wilking Christina Willson Lora Winter Holly Witte Melanie Woodrum Amy Yost Shawn Ziesmer Special student spends year at SPHS Cerris Morgan-Moyer was a special freshman seen in the halls of SPHS. Cerris was from England, attending SPHS for one year. Cerris enjoyed the experiences of being in a different culture. She attend- ed a religious all-girls school in England and enjoyed experiencing the differ- ences present in a co-ed public school in the United States. Cerris lived in St. Peter with her mother and father. Cerris' mother was also involved in the exchange program at Gustavus. Her mother was teaching college English at Gustavus while Cer- ris attended school at SPHS. Cerris' father is an architect and worked in Minneapolis during the week. Cerris was also involved in the one act play, “I Never Sang For My Father.” This was quite unusual for a temporary student, but Cerris liked her experi- ences with the play. Cerris enjoyed all her new expe- riences in America. There were certain things she missed about her native country of England, like the delicious chocolate and her friends, but Cerris loved going to school in St. Peter. When asked what she liked best about SPHS, Cerris stated, I have made so many friends here. Everyone was so nice and I had so much fun! ■ — Katie Rogers 108 — Freshmen Center left: Kirsten Leiferman and Kris Schoeb are “happy cookers in Mrs. June Hoffman’s Home-ec class.

Freshmen — 109 $ ophomores Sophomores work together to make memories Sophomores ... a class of stu- dents whose interests ranged all the way from skateboarding to drama with many other interests mixed in between. They helped each other with school work, and made a big impression on SPHS in 87 when they again” got first place in float building. This class not only spent their time in school together, but took time to add their own style to SPHS. They showed up at dances, they had their own get togethers, and furnished smiles when the school day seemed long. Getting their license added a sparkle to the life of a sophomore. It not only opened new horizons, but gave them long awaited freedom. They made big tracks with this new found freedom, especially enjoying trips to Mankato and the Twin Cities. The memories made by the 1988 sophomore class will stay with them for years to come. ■ — Nicole Heisler Sophomores — 110 Sophomores Jeff Albin Craig Allen Ethan Allen Sean Banken Ann Bindner Thomas Bishop Jimmy Blaschko Terry Blaschko Lisa Borchert James Brown Sheri Bruns Joe Burkey Shay Burkey Jay Carlson David Chabot Adam Courtland John Davey Kurt Davis Chad DeBlieck Loren Dimmel Scott Derner Timothy Dittmar Kristopher Douglas David Dutton Andrea Dvorak Todd Eichinger Greg Enz Kelsey Erickson Cari Filand Sherri Fletcher Tom Forbrook Jacqueline Forsell Lower left: Holly Steiner shows a smile after a Marching Saints performance.

Chuck Keller has been a wrestler since he was in the third grade. He got his interest in this particular sport while watching his two older brothers wrestle at SPHS. When asked what he liked best about wrestling, Chuck stated, The challenge of going one on one with a person your own size. One thing that he disliked about wrestling was the dieting. It was very hard for him to diet, especially since food was one of his main interests. Chuck plans on attending college for four years after he has graduated and also plans to wrestle at the college he attends. In his spare time during his soph- omore year, Chuck watched television, went to movies, or spent time going out with his friends. He also spent time working on computers and working at Shoreland Country Club. Some goals Chuck has made for the future include doing well in his studies and doing his best in wrestling, football, and baseball. ■ — Susie Janni Sophomore Chuck Keller works hard for a pis during practice. 112 — Sophomores Sophomores Mikkel Long Erin Loscheider Kelly McKnight Holly McCormick Heather McClintock David McQuire Tracy Melby Andrea Miller Jason Miller Justin Miller David Moline Mike Morgan Dan Nelson Mukunda O'Brien Kara Ohotto Carla Olson Nicolle Osborne Erik Ostrom Peter Otterness Lori Peittersen Kevin Peterson Kim Peterson Jason Pool Joel Potz Randi Prochaska Michael Pryor MichaelRasche Josis Redning Robert Riedel Edwin Rundell Maureen Ryan Jason Rydeen Anissa Sandland Melissa Schmit Shawn Scovill Stacy Schultz Chris Schultz Angel Schwartz Jon Splittgerber Tom Stapleton Sophomores — 113 Sophomores Joel Starks Holly Steiner Daniel Stransky Ann Sullivan Tami Sundboom Britta Swanson Deborah Thompson Jennifer Thompson Tami Tillman Melanie Tollefson Mary Utzka Jessica Vogt Todd Waldron James Ward Corey Wedge Upper right: These sophomores prove that they are involved with SPHS and like it.

Many people think that it would be to your advantage. Stacy and Steve Wills, sophomores here at SPHS, felt that being a twin has not been an advantage at all. Because they are not identical twins, but fraternal twins, they could not stand in for one another in classes or at social functions. Fraternal twins are not any different than other siblings and are often a boy and a girl as is the case with the Wills twins. Identical twins are exactly alike, and are always the same sex. Stacy said, Being a twin is just like being an ordinary person; there are no privileges and we are treated relatively the same. The disadvantages of being a fra- ternal twin is the fact that you cannot pull little tricks on your friends, teachers, or parents, unlike identical twins. Steve said, It's not really different being fraternal twins, but I suppose if we were identical it would be a lot different.” ■ — Darcy Rauchman Sophomores — 115 Peggy Willaert Stacy Wills Steve Wills Candie Wilson Ron Wilmes Rachel Witty Jean Yushta Left: Kari Knopick, Chris Gilbertson, and Kris Keogh take a break from dancing. J uniors New traditions established by junior The 1987-88 school year brought many new memories to the junior class. Their friendship and closeness made the year even more exciting. The juniors had the responsibilities of prom and magazine sales, but the results showed that they reached be- yond their goals. To begin their year, the juniors competed in making a float for Homecoming. With their artistic tal- ent, they ended up in 2nd place. The year went on with many class more memories. Some students will never forget the time they spent gaz- ing at the monkeys when they car pooled to the zoo in Apple Valley. Also a new trend started with the girls having a class Thanksgiving feast. They each brought a dish to pass and Katie Korteum and Caron Moore made the turkey. Outside of school as well as in, they tried to make the best of the 87-88 school year. ■ -Suzie Schabert 116 — Juniors Juniors Misti Allen Jennifer Anderson Tracy Anderson Dustin Bakke Tammy Betzing Kim Bjorklund Paul Braam Sandi Braun Rebecca Brenke Laura Bowles James Brock Corey Brown Robert Brown Donna Cain Curt Christenson Chad Christofferson Fred Cohrt Kelli Conlon Chris Connor Molly Cook Todd Cooke Shannon DeBlieck Eugene Derner Michele Domras Angela Duccini James Elskamp Geoff Elvee James Enz Kari Erickson Mary Evenson Kris Ewert Jessica Faust Michael Fienen Ross Frey Douglas Gondreau Brice Grafstrom Josh Gravelin Steven Greeley Krista Grochow Marya Gustafson Left: Kari Erickson, Kris Ewert, and Kim Schultz sing at Homecoming coronation.

That is what Chris Scheurer found out when he got started into racing 4 wheel- ers. Chris started racing at the age of 12. He's been racing all around Min- nesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. He was the Junior State Champion in Glenville, Minnesota. He competed with his Suzuki 230 Quad Sport in the mod- class, which is a certain style of pipes, tires and some other racing accesso- ries. Lakeside Motors was a company that sponsored and helped Chris out a great deal. They gave him discounts on the equipment he needed, such as body pads, helmets, gloves, elbow and knee pads. Chris started ice racing the winter of 1988. He said “It's a lot different than racing in the swamps and the tracks. The thing he likes best about all the work he's put into racing is the thrill of going fast. ■ — Shannon Kennedy Juniors Corey Leiferman Derek Leivestad Chad Lesmeister Lisa Litynski Jennifer Marx Patricia McAuley Paula Mears Caron Moore Luciano Moreira Brenda Murphy Shawna Nelsen Dennis Nesje Jeffrey Orth Jamie Pagel David Passon Jason Paul Juniors Kelley Paul Joe Peittersen Jim Peters Dale Peterson Michael Pettis David Phenix Howard Putz Kim Putz Tony Rachuy Chris Redning Angela Reid Robin Reid Scott Renquist Brian Richter Dennis Riebesell Matt Rodning Shannon Rodriquez Heidi Rossow Kristine Rustman Carl Rydeen Reginald Sandberg Chris Scheurer Kim Schultz Julie Schwarze Far Left: Butch Rydeen gives his I know I'm great look.

Playing drums in the school band and bass guitar in the school jazz band were two of the activities involving music in which he participated. He was also in the school choir and in two bands on his own time. In the Spring of 1987, Josh went to the state contest for vocal solos, where he competed against other state win- ners. Although his dream is to hit it big and get rich and famous in a rock band, he plans to go to college and major in music after graduating from SPHS. He wrote a Classical guitar solo without any help, and he plays seven different instruments in all. Since he was a sev- enth grader, he has been into” playing music. He plays the following instru- ments: Drums, Guitar, (Acoustic and Electric), Bass Guitar, Piano, Synthesyser, Mandolin, and the Tuba. Josh has played in a band with Gus- tavus students, and in a band with high school students from St. Peter and sur- rounding towns. For Josh, Music is Life! Music is a big part of society today and there are all kinds of different styles; classical, jazz, blues, country, rock-n-roll, and still more. Josh has shown that one can be involved with a variety of these styles. ■ — P.J.

Throughout their lifetimes, mem- ories will be rekindled, scrapbooks will come out and friendships will be re- membered from this special year shared as the last together. From day number one of junior high, many of the firsts” were shared to- gether. The first lockers were assigned, first padlock combinations memorized, first pep-fests attended, and first ha- rassments felt for being the youngest of the school. Yet, everyone strove as a group through those years of the fail- ures, the accomplishments, the fears, the hopes, the crushes, the happiness, and the dreams that are now all mem- ories. By the senior year, the class had shared almost everything and pulled through on top. No one will ever forget the Home- coming Queen, or the Snow King. No one will forget winning the North Star Challenge, and the graduation of the Class of 1988. Also no one will ever forget Ed Micus. Through this tragedy, the class pulled closer together and will forever feel the unfairness of his death. Yes this is where the road ends as a class. But it is also the beginning as the Class of 1988 heads toward the future. It is the time when the dreams of yes- terday can become the reality of today. From the encouragement gained from the friendships shared through these past years, the Class of 1988 will begin the future with a firm foundation. Al- though varied plans will scatter the class members, the memories will re- main, and in them the class will be to- gether forever. ■ Andrea Hintz and Di- ane Dittrich 122 — Seniors Bottom left Presenting to all-the Class of 1988!

The passengers consisted of men, women and chil- dren. Among them was Thuan Doan. He was 11 years old at the time, knew no English and was traveling by himself from his country to what was, in his mind, a very fast-paced, thriving and foreign country. Thuan Doan, better known to eve- ryone as Tom Hawbaker was adopt- ed by Jerry and Edna Hawbaker. Tom said that leaving his family, his dad, two sisters and three brothers back in Vietnam was the hardest thing he has ever done in his life. Tom especially found life hard in America since he did not know any English. For two years he was tu- tored in English for two hours a day, every day. Tom feels that school and especially languages are very impor- tant. In addition to Vietnamese and English, Tom has also studied French and Spanish. One thing that Tom found new and interesting was snow. “The first time I saw it I was surprised. I ran out with my shorts on, but it was too cold for me, said Tom. Tom likes living in America, and especially enjoys the freedom of making decisions, but he misses his family a lot. He keeps in touch with his father by frequently writing let- ters. Tom said, My dream right now is to go back and see my family.” With all of the pain and emptiness he has endured, Tom Hawbaker has pushed far past his barriers. He has given to the senior class a very spe- cial friendship; one that will never be forgotten. ■ Andrea Hintz Seniors Seniors — 125 Jon Davis Bob Depuydt Diane Dittrich Jeff Domras Pat Gibbs 126 — Seniors Kevin Hardesty Tom Hawbaker Nicole Heisler Dan Hohenstein Eric Hokanson Seniors — 127 Mark Mears Todd Meyer Jason Michels Steve Millard 128 — Seniors Seniors — 129 Seniors Mary makes changes People who know Mary McCarthy now would never believe what she had to do to bring herself to what she is today. When Mary was 15 years old, she found out that she was chemically de- pendent on alcohol and drugs. Mary then under went treatment at Winne- bago Adolecent Treatment Center in Winnebago, Minnesota. The treatment program taught Mary how to deal with her alcoholism and start an alcohol and drug free life. Mary was very successful and is still chemically free. Coming back to school with a whole new outlook on life was a bit scary, stated Mary. Obviously, things turned out great for her, and now she's back to her normal outgoing self. Soon after treatment Mary started working at McDonald's in St. Peter. Af- ter many hours of dedication and re- sponsibility, Mary was promoted to I manager. On her days off, Mary spent time with friends and her boyfriend Jody. My friends were very supportive and Jody helped me through a lot.” Mary was now on her way to suc- ! cess. Her grades went from a C — average to a B average. Mary rose to many new heights. Still holding her job | at McDonald's, she also worked at the Community Health Care Center as a nurses aid. Her school activities includ- ed being Editor-in-Chief of the 1988 PETERIAN. Not all people are successful at so- briety. Mary was strong and kept her I word. Looking at Mary all can see that [ anyone can overcome any obstacle if he she really wants to. ■ -Paula Dvorak Brian Miller Jody Mines Chad Pehrson Gina Portz Shannon Prenzlow Miki Rasche Darcy Rauchman 130 — Seniors P.J.

Ed, who had been a member of the SPHS Class of 1988 until he moved to New Ulm at the begin- ning of the 1987-88 school year, was returning home to New Ulm after visiting friends in St. Peter. We all know that Ed's left us and gone, Bui we all know too that life goes on; II sometimes hurts lo think he’s left us behind, But he lives as he did in our hearts and minds. It's hard to accept his life's come to an end, But in this misfortune his new life begins; Let's not remember Eddie with tears and sorrow; Grasp whal memories he left us to help comfort us in the days of tomorrow. — C.

We had some really fun times. Ed isn’t gone mentally, just physically. In mind he’ll al- ways be here for us all. - - Shannon Prenzlow “Ed was really a unique per- son. He touched many people through his talents in acting, singing, and most of all in mak- ing people laugh. ‘Smed’ had a special place in my heart. I'll never forget him. — Molly Mayer Seniors — 133 Emotions evident take final A wide range of emotions was ev- ident as the graduating class of 1988 gathered in the cafeteria to prepare for commencement exercises. Fear was natural to everyone along with excite- ment, nervousness and happiness. Overnight, classmates were reclas- sified as men and women as each one embarked on a new road to travel. The ceremony was held at the Floyd B. Johnson Memorial field on a hot, blus- tery day. Commencement speakers as seniors steps were: Eric Hokanson, Jennifer Nygard, Michael Rydeen, and Paula Dvorak and Susan Skillings who spoke together in a dual effort to recapture memories from kindergarten through eleventh grade. Speakers spoke about the past, pres- ent, and future. Many tears were shed when friends remembered time spent together and the realization that they all wouldn't be meeting again in the fall, but going their own separate ways. Diplomas were received and congrat- ulations exchanged and a great sense of togetherness swept over the grad- uating class. The class will always re- member the trials and tribulations they endured and the happiness and friend- ships that were shared. ■ -Mary Mc- Carthy 134 — commencement “It was good to be out of there, but it was sad to leave all my friends behind.

All-night party provides fun for one final time An opportunity was given to the grad- uates to spend an entire evening to- gether for, possibly, the last time. The parents again organized an all-night party which allowed friends to remi- nisce about old times and mainly to have fun as an entire class. The decorating spread the party throughout most of the high school's bottom floor creating the nautical theme “Cruisin' in 88. Seniors were checked in at the pool entrance where they were given their passports which entitled them to $20,000 in play money. The object of the money was to use it to gamble or just to save in order to buy prizes selected for fun or for practical use in the future. Many guests “on board eyed a prize available through auctioning early in the night, and were willing to risk it all to have a shot at some of the bigger prizes; a T.V., bike, microwave, or a mini-fridge. Others were less optimistic and set their hopes on a toaster, tent, fan, or a telephone. The prizes gave incentive to gamble or participate in volleyball games and raft races. The activities were a lot of fun so it wasn't such a let down if one wasn’t always winning. “Even though Correy couldn't paddle and made us lose, I still had a good time and the water woke me up,” said Kathy Bremer, team mate of Jenny Fay, Correy Kewatt, and Jeff Domras. If one wasn't quite the gambler, there were plenty of other things to do. Prizes could still be bought in the “Treasure Chest, or for those who were hungry, Dominos pizza and tacos were avail- able. The parents’ efforts were appre- ciated because for most everyone the night was enjoyable and the together- ness made the night special. ■ -Susie Skillings All Night Party — 137 Exciting school year brings meaningful ending Special things happened at SPHS in 1988. The school won the North Stars Chal- lenge and became involved with many anti-drug programs. The academic teams did well, and choir and band members excelled in competition. Ath- letics were successful throughout the year. Football was tough again, and both basketball teams were impressive. Track was strong in post-season ac- tion, boys’ and girls’ tennis was as its best, and the golfers sent two to State. It was difficult to watch the end of each season come so quickly. People did forge notes, skip school, and “forget” assignments, but Mr. Hughes caught many of those people and dished out D.T. sentences. No one will forget the case of seni- oritis that hit grades 9-12 the second week of school, nor the time spent mak- ing memories throughout the year. On June 9, the doors of SPHS closed on yet another year, but behind those doors lay all the memories of the grad- uated class of 1988. They, along with those still in school, will remember all the good times they shared ... forever. ■ Nicole Heisler t Top left: Mark Mears is all smiles after a bas- ketball game.
