Wabasso High School - White Rabbit Yearbook (Wabasso, MN)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1969 volume:

STUDENTS BLAZED A TRAIL IN ’69 From the very first day of school in the 1968- 69 term students made history. What they did from the first to the last day of school will never be done in exactly the same way again. The students made tracks down hallways and up stairs. They had experiences in classrooms and in different activities that had not been ex- perienced before and will not be experienced again. Through this book we hope to follow the tracks of these students on the various paths they took throughout the school year. We hope to help you remember always the tracks you made at WHS in '69. 1 THE RABBIT Published by students of Wabasso Public School, Wabasso, Minnesota. Page 3 TRACK TO THE S 0 F ’6 PATH OF 9 LEAD ACADEMICS Many times people are given the impression, from a yearbook, that the activities of high school students are more inportant than their education. A lot of time is spent on both but academics always come first at WHS. There are seven classroom hours in a day at WHS. All students are required to have five subjects. Participation in band and 3 chorus does not count as an academic subject. Physical education, which is required through the sophomore year, also does not count as one of the five subjects. The field of subjects offered to students at WHS prepares them for their future plans. Whe- ther they plan on going to college, into busi- ness, or into a vocation.

Smiles are seen in the hallways, cafeteria and class- rooms as students tend to like jokes at WHS. Involved in some of these good times were the teachers who were pleased to see the students so appre ciative . Most of the faculty members were busy during the first few days of the school year in aiding lost students as well as organizing classrooms.

Essays, paragraphs, poems, and stories were used for word count by the students. About the only thing that they could not count words on were their tests and their research papa- The students were given a lab day every Friday. They could use this hour to catch up on their work or for their cre- ative writing.

School Di s m i ssed 0 n Two Different Days Because of the large number of days missed during the winter, the school year was extended. School was not officially out un- til June 3 instead of on May 28. Graduation was held on May 28 as scheduled and the seniors did not have to come back to schod after this. Two different final test schedules had to be worked out. The seniors were given theirs on the day before and the day of gradu- ation. The other students began taking theirs on the day after graduation. No student was allowed to take more than three tests on one day. Each testing period lasted for an hour and a half. The final test counted as a fifth of the students grade for the year. 9 ISO GROSSMAN Business Math, Basic Business, Business Law and Economics, Typing, Head Basket- ball coach.

Teachers would try something new to keep the students interested and to see if there was a better way to get the students to understand a certain phase of the subject. As an example, the business law and economics class worked out a mock trial. Some of the students wrote the trial. While writing it they had several conferences with a lawyer to make certain that they had the legal procedure right. Then the rest of the class took parts in the trial and presented it to the student body. DEBBIE FECSEN A1ID LouAnn Strand composed a modern dancing team at WHS.

Home E c., Shop Classes Switch For the first time at WHS two teachers made a trade of their classes. For a few weeks during the winter the ninth grade shop and home economics students switched classes. The boys learned how to bake. They also discussed clothing and manners. The girls learned how to use some of the most used tools. One of the big projects carried out in the industrial arts department this year was the construction of scale model houses by the advanced industrial art students. LOOP, STITCH, SLIP, or was it slip, stitch, loop? Irregardless of the correct procedure, the Home Economics 12 girls busily attend to the business at hand, knitting.

Had Hectic Year Extreme amounts of rain and mud in the fall, unbelievable quanti- ties of snow in the winter, and more mudin the spring, made it a very hectic year for these people. Despite these problems the secretaries still smiled as they signed a pass. The janitors did their best to keep the halls clear of mud and water. Food was always made available by the cooks for noon meals. Although the buses were out in some near zero visibility weather the drivers were never stranded with any students. If they could not get the students home they brought them back to town. School board members had to battle the problem of what to do about all of the missed days of school. They also found time to work on a proposed addition to the school building . SECRETARIES JJDYIfeimann, Elaine Georgius,and Margie Baune are always ready to help with a friendly smile. COOKS CAROL FRIEDLEY, Mabel Friedley, and Rose Vogel always have plenty food for hun- gry stomachs.

Puppets played an impor- tant part this year for second graders. They were used for spring plays and • for demonstrating health and safety rules. Varied activities involv- ing the curriculum studied kept third graders interestd. While studying clothing in social studies,a stick pup- pet fashion show was held. A study of the weather in- cluded the recording of tem- peratures and barometric pressures . 16 SECOND GRADE—FRONT ROW: a Engel, D. Fennern, K. Rad- datz, M. Zimmerli, K. She- mon. ROW 2: B. King, L.

Field Trips Highlight Elementary Year Field trips to different parts of the state for the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students, were the main events of the year. Fourth graders traveled to Pipestone and toured there. A trip to Fort Ridgely was the climax ofastudy of this com- munity for the fifth grade students. As the oldest students, sixth grad- ers get extra privileges. One of these is that they got to travel to St. Paul and visit the capitol building. SIXTH GRADS—FRONI RCW: W. Jenniges, B. Zimmerli, D.

Each student is constantly challenged with his work so that he con- tinues to try and progress . In addition to their classes the pupils busy themselves with many different art and craft projects. They also have dif- ferent animals to watch and take care of in their room. The pets include some white mice, fish, and a parakeet named Sparkie. The students favorite animal among these seemed to be the mice be- cause they could take them out of their FIRST THREE GRADES presented a Christmas program to cage and play with them. their parents.

Samyn D, Schaffran Seventh Grade Conquers High School World Seventh grade students found that taking the big step into high school was just that—a big step. After the first few weeks of school, the initial shock of being on their own and having to find a different classroom with a different teacher each hour wore off. Then the students found themselves plunged into the hustle and bustle of homecoming along with all of the other high schoolers. After this they were kept busy with assignments and many other activities that were not known to them as elementary students.

School Offers Challenge To Eighth Graders EIGHTH GRADE CLASS OFFICERS— Peter Kratzke, Vice- president; Brian Pistulka, Treasurer; Jeanette Vfael- fel. Secretary; Jeffrey Koewler, President. Eighth graders daily met new challenges and rewards as they became more involved members of the student body. Homecoming marked a time of the school year that kept the class busy planning and decorating. After much debate and decision making, the students agreed to attend the movie, The Horse In The Gray Flannel Suit, as the activity for their class trip. Refresh- ments and a dance followed the show.

Georgius Sophomores Contribute To School Activties Sophomores found their 1968-69 WHS year to be filled with lots of hard work, school friends, classroom hours, and of course the plain old fun of just being a student. One of the highlights was the class trip to Camden Park in the early fall where hiking, fcct- ball, and fun were the general order of the day. A fund-raising car wash was held and students put forth their best efforts despite everything from rain and cold to tired feet. The numerous and varied activities partici- pated in by the sophomores are sure to be re- membered as an interesting part of their school lives.

Zieske ‘Active’ Is The Junior’s Password The junior class experienced a year of pace- setting activity. Homecoming, classes, and other areas of school participation called for large amounts of both time and energy on the eleventh grade's part. But, by far, the most strenuous task they under took was the plan- ning and preparation of the prom. Originality played a dominant role in the operation of this project, but by no means was it the only role. An army of helping hands was needed and ob- tained readily with the whole hearted cooper- ation of the junior classmates. This and other events have no doubt served as their stepping stones to the commanding position as the forth- coming student leaders in the 1969-70 school year.

Five Speak For Scholarship Lynn Georgius, Lonnie Lange, Dan Schilling, Marcia Ketel, and Lucille Kruse participated in KNUJ's Speak for a Scholarship program. Each student prepared a speech and picked two musical selections to make up his fifteen minute program. The speech had to be about the activities going on at WHS at that time. All of the speakers and their advisor Miss Rhoda Cap were guests of the radio station at a banquet in May. At this banquet, Lucille, who was the finalist from WHS, received a transistor radio. 29 Propaganda Experiment Conducted By Seniors Each year the seniors study the different ways of promoting propaganda in their social studies course. Then as an experiment to see just what kind of propagandists they are they try to spread some propaganda among the other students in the high school. This year the seniors hit on the idea of making just two posters which said Hobo Day , gave a date, said was sponsored by the seniors and that there would be a penalty for anyone who was not dressed up. The posters were pure propaganda but most of the underclassmen fell for them. In fact the administration was so worried about it that a special assembly had to be called to ex- plain to the students that the poster did not say in what high school or by what class of seniors. The part about the penalty would have been true for all students who did not wear the regularly required attire for school.

Graduation ’69 Has Magic Number As an unique part of graduation in 1969, fifty-one seemed to be a magic number.

There is an activity that each student can be a part of any time of the year. Students put a lot of time and effort into each of these activities and all of this time comes after the regular school day. Instrumentalists Host U of M Band As something new and dif- ferent the WHS music depart- ment director. Miss J. Titter- ington, had a fall band con- cert. The concert was given in November. The band per- formed at two other concerts during the year and also par- ticipated in the annual music contest. Band members hosted the University of Minnesota Tour Band when they gave a concert at Wabasso. LEADING THE WHS marching band were majorettes Bonnie Werner, Lou Ann Strand, Debbie Fixsen, and Corinne Powell. BAND—FRONT RCW: G. Johnson, D. Engel, A. Neumann, C. Stassen, B. Anton, F. Dallman, D.

Miss J. Titterington thought this was much better because it seemed to give each student a better opportunity to develop skill . Instead of a piano, the Stage Band used an organ. Some of the selections that were played for the Pop's Concert by the Stage Band were I Am a Rock and Sunday Morning. BEGINNER'S BAND—FRONT ROW: B. Rassmussen, B. Johannsck, M. Jacoby, D. Lovald, M.

Their most crushing defeat came at the hands of this years Wacoha- mi champs, Belview. Both teams held the other to only one touch- down but the Blue Jays won on their extra point . Although this year proved to be a below average one for the foot- ball team, the lack of numbers was not a problem. About sixty boys went out for football in grades seven through twelve. This was a record breaking number. Leading pass receiver, co-captain Pat Sinclair, grabs another. F00T3ALL SQUAD—FRONT RCW: M. Schultz, S. Merle, J. Bittner, a Ifethiowetz, B. Alcorn, B. Beckman, B.

If someone would ask a mem- ber of the 1 9 68 football team what their most memorable moment of the season was, the chances are very good that the answer would be something like, Playing in three inches of water during the homecoming game. The homecoming game was not the only game however, that was played in adverse weather condi- tions. Either cold, wind, rain, or all three seemed to plague the players thoughout the entire season. Because of these condi- tions it was often hard for the spectators to tell who was who after the first few minutes of play because their numbers were covered with mud.

Rabbits Post First Victory Over Lamberton Highlighting this year's bas- ketball season was a 94 to 62 victory over Lamberton. It was the first WHS basketball victory over the Black Hawks in eighteen long years. Rabbit cagers played in sever- al thrillers this season. Two of the most exciting games were a one-point victory over the Morgan Raiders and a dishearten- ing one point loss to Belview. WHS basketball team wound up with aseven and eleven record for the year.

Conference Championship Winning a conference championship and break- ing four school records set the pace for this years track squad. Capturing the Wocohami Conference Champion- ship marked the end of a very successful track season. The Rabbits won the conference easily, out scoring their nearest competitor by nearly fif- ty points. Four school records were also broken this year. They were: the shotput by Larry Leske; the high jump by Pat Sinclair; the 880 y rd relay by Jeff Bittner, Philip Johanneck, Pat Sinclair, and Sid Schultz; and the mile relay by f’at Sinclair, Dave Hengel, Pod Kragh, and Eugene Boerboom. 53 Triple Plays Mark Baseball Year Although the Rabbit baseball team did not have a winning season they did some noteworthy maneuvers on the field. During the season they executed two triple plays against the opposing team. Even though he did not add up many wins for his won lost record as a pitcher, Sid Schultz still pitched some great ball. This is shown by the fact that in two different games he struck out a total of thirteen players. Many of the baseball players were physically exhausted by the end of the week because they had particiapted in two track meets and two games in that time.

During fourth hour the gym is a work out center for those students who are in training for a particular sport and for those who simply want to work out . Physical education classes play an important part in athle- tics also. Different skills are taught to the boys and to the girls. After school the gym is often used by students in tumbling classes. They make use of the numerous pieces of equip- ment that the school has. DEMONSTRATING A KLIP is Nancy Hoffman. The tramp is used by tumblers, GAA, and Physical Education classes.

Weather cpnditions rain, mud, and more water caused homecoming festi vities to be run completely backwards from the planned schedule. For this reason the crowningof the royalty was one of the last eventsto take place. Weather Caused Backward Homecoming The homecoming dance was held on the scheduled night with a question mark hanging over the throne. On the following night the game against Boyd took place on a very muddy football field. The Rab- bits'1 were able to cope with the odds though and won the game. Four days later King Mark and Queen Diana were crowned. In the downtown parade, they rode the first float WHS has had in many years . J0YeSCTTVJ'iBittnn%D• fiXrn’.B BTe� L.

The A squad girls hunted diligently for skits ari pom pom routines to perform at the pep fests. The highlight of the basketball pep fests was the transformation of Gloria Johnson and Marcia Ketel into spirit cakes at the conclusion of their cheerleading careers. With the addition of wrestling into the sports scene, wrestling cheerleaders were added to the roster of spirit gals at WHS. The squads worked hard lead- ing the rookie wrestling team to victory.

After a few telephone calls and a lot of woiry by the members, the first Sadie Hawkins Dance wet on with the scheduled band providing the music. Students wore typical dog-patch diess to the dance. This dress was also accept- able foi the day of school. Other activities of the National Honor Society during the year included an Easter egg hunt for the kindergarten and a supper at the Orchid Inn.

Many tracks were made up the three and a half flights of stairs to room 340. Here Rabbit Tracks was pub- lished every two weeks. As a yearly publication, The Rabbit WHS's year- book is put together. Many mistakes can be made in these publications. Events and certain group pictures can unintentionally be over looked and left out. One such group is the annual staff. Many students have put hours of work into making this book possible While the staff frantically tried to get everyone else's picture they overlooked getting one of themselves. The editors of The Rabbit 1969 were Lucille Kruse and Ron Rasmussen. 65 Girls who were in FHA and even those who were not found out that the club was always doing something. President Lonnie Lange always seemed to be getting something lined up with Mrs. Olson or okaying a date for an FHA activity with the office. They seemed to put a lot of their energy into a style show in the spring. The girls added some of their own touches to the prom decorations for this. After the style show they held their induction of their officers for the next school year. RITA PELZEL, RITA EICHTEN, SUSAN BURT2EL AND MRS.

Emphasis Placed On Poetry Two members of the Writers Club had poems that they wrote published. Carol Stassen and Marlene Schueller each had a poem published in the National High School Poetry Anthology. The Writers Club also sponsored an elementary poetry contest. The winners from each grade had their poem oublished in the Scribblers Scrapebook. This book is printed annually by the members of the club and contains articles that they have written throughout the year. I£TEERMEN 3 CLUB-FRONT ROW: L. Leske, S. Warner, 14. Johanneck, R.

Getting all of the homecom- ing festivities set up is a big responsibility of the student council. The members also voted through an after- noon five minute break for the whole student body. This break came between periods five and six. It made it possible for students to get rid of books so that they did not have to carry all of their afternoon materials at once. The second annual slave day of the studert council found the slaves washing cars, cairy- ing books, and cleaning out closets. The stu- dents sold themselves in order to bring the organization out of debt. 1 BEG TOUR PARDON, MISS SKINNER , Lyirn Georgius states as he glances perplexed- ly at Mary Kay Pistulka.

Larry Leske confronts the two girls and tells them to stay in their room—it seems there is a man overboard, Drama Made The Scene Lively Dramatics made a definite appearance in the spotlight of events in and around the school. A three-act, all-school play entitled Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, was presented in the fall. Bonnie Werner and Mairy Kay Pis- tulka took the leading roles as the comedy's two main characters Emily and Cornelia. The spring of the year was equally busy as a variety of four one-act plays found its way on stage. A Reader's Theater production of the Bald Soprano added a different light to drama as Marcia Ketel, Galen Beranek Rod Dallman, Gwen Gales, and Corinne Powell, read the English satire from manuscript. A melodrama, starring Don Zieske as a most convincing villain, was also presented. It was entitled Sally and the Villain, or The Farmer's Daughter. The Lottery and School Bus Romance ,a drama and light comedy respectively, were tte other two plays presented. 70 DECLAMATION--FRONT RCW: C. Stas- sen, T. Friedley, G. Gales. BACK RCW: Miss R. Cap, L. Kruse, M. Ketel. Extemp Speaker Goes To Region Although the declamation department had a small number of participants from WHS this year the group made a fine showing at the various levels of competition. Carol Stassen, a sophomore, went todis- trict competition in the serious interpreta- tion division. Lucille Kruse a WHS senior received an A at the district level in extemporaneous speaking. She then went on to compete in the regional contest which was held at Glencoe. The advisor for the declam students was Miss Rhoda Cap. She worked with the stu- dents and expressed the hope that next year there would be a greater number of students participating in this activity. 'TCES, MADAME, I AM ALMOST POSTITIVE THAT THIS BOAT WILL NOT SINK, A1 Moore assures Bonnie Werner. 71 THIS RUUHD5 OUT YOUR MUSICAL TONE, explains a member of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. II, NT ACHING BACK, groans Eugene Eichten as he stoops to reset the bottles which somebody knocked over in his booth at the annual staff carnival. Carnival Raises Money For Annual Instead of advertising to raise money for the annual, the staff decided to spon- sor a carnival. It is through the hard work of many people that the annual this year does not have.a lot of pages devoted to advertising. Many lyceums were presented to the student body throughout the year. The aim of these assemblies is to have the students learn while they are being en- tertained . CHRIS CHRISTENSEN watches the mouse anxiously to see which of the stu- dents has the lucky color. 73 IT HAD FINALLY STARTED and Jin Irlbcck and his date, Diana Fix- sen give the camera a big smile. THE BAND HATED while the guests danced or just listened. I s JEFF BITTNER, MARX KAY FISTULKA, Debbie Fixsen, and Rod Kragh served as the waitresses and waiters. 74 B I u e Love DIA HE ENGEL AND JODY RADEL glance eagerly at the gym door as they begin the big evening with the Grand March. THE C0UH£S DA1JCED ELEGANTLY arouni the gym -loor as the prom got underway. EAGER SMUIRS show that the Grand March was the beginning of a beautiful evening under the spell of Love is Blue. Work MadeProm Unforgetable Is putting on a prom a lot of work? You bet it is. Just ask any member of the junior class and they will be able to tell you. But they felt it was a night that all would remem- ber and so it was worth it. They decorated the gym, prepared the food, hired the band, and countless number of otha- things that gave the prom that added little ex- tra. The gym was decorated with blue and white. A fountain, with a canopy made out of thousands of white napkins over it, stood at one end of the gym. This was a favorite back ground for pictures by the couples. Pnayn Z44t PROCESSIONAL .......

May 28, 1969, was the date. A V dnes- day that for fifty-one seniors just was not like any other Wednesday. Then just like that it was over. Everyone had their diploma and high school was over. Each senior was now an individual arri would go out on his own. They would never be con- sidered as a class again. They were each ready to go fulfill the last half of the motto they had chosen. They were ready to lead and now went forward as an individual to do so. Practice for the commencement program seemed to take forever that day and so did the waiting until eight o'clock that evening.

This hall was the path taken by students hundreds of times in '69. Now the tracks the students made down this hall are past and will never be relived in the same way. The tracks and paths of 1969 have come to an end but the students will go on to new paths and leave new tiacks. This hallway serves as the turning point in the path that all students at WHS took in 1969. Now it waits to be a part of the things that will happen in 1970 and in the follow- ing years. 78 INDEX Alcorn, Susan 37,41,40 Alcorn, Robert 43,55,54,25,24,10,53,67 Anton, Bernadette 37,40,23,64,66
