It Began. . . As we enter school for another year each of us, and especially the seniors, has a goal set for himself For some it may he a con- ference championship or a berth in the re- gional wrestling meet. For somebody else it might be a star rating in a- music contest or becoming an honor student, but for many the goals we re less dramatic- like just graduat- ing We know the time will go fast- but do we know how fast?

Colorful floats in the afternoon parade followed by a rousing pep fest kicked off the festivities on Friday. Evening fanned the excitement when a swerv- ing snake dance sprawled the town streets shouting cheers and chants. Outdoor coronation of Queen Diane Engel and King Don 2ieske heightened the emotion already present on faces reflecting in the flicking, dancing flames of a huge bonfire. Elements of enthusiasm, hope, and tension blended together in a winning combination as the Rabbits brought home the prized honor of a victorious football game. Dancing to the now” sounds of a Minneapolis rock group, couples added the final festive touch to a very successful Homecoming. 4 ABOVE— Fight team,fight, chants senior cheer- leader, Bonnie Werner.

One such lyceum starred a roller skating duo from the Netherlands which demonstrated various acrobatic skills both on and off wheels, Comedy in the form of drama provided an entertaining afternoon when a theatrical group performed the Twin Menechamie, a farce based on mistaken identities. An- other play entitled The Devil’s Disciple touched a ser- ious vein, but gratefully appeased the student body with a happy ending, Marachas and guitars, multi-colored hats and swirling capes spiced the act of Maria and Roberto with a touch of South America in their folk song festival given to the stu- dent body during the winter months. Sounds of strings vibrated throughout the gym on two occasions. One involved a quartet from the Minneapolis Or- chestra and the second was a solo .performance by a lady viola virtuoso.

The stillness is broken by a soft voice singing as the spotlight zooms in on a lone cowpoke and with the first bars of Oh, What A Beautiful Morning , the musical Oklahoma I bursts forth. This was WHS s first attempt in combining the drama and musical depart- ments under one production. With the support of an enthusiastic student body, the Rodgers and Hammerstein presentation was a well accepted success. The plot centers around the age-old story of boy meets girl followed by the usual romantic heart entanglements. There is, how,- ever, an added twist. Both refuse to admit they like each other 1 After some rollicking songs, a few festive dances, a couple of good laughs, and perhaps a tear or two. Curly (Rod Dallmann) and Laurie(Mary Kay Pistulka) finally marry and ride off into the sunset in The Surrey With the Fringe on Top. A production of three one-act plays was held in the early spring, also. The pre- sentations included a pantomine entitled Act Without Words,I, a hillbilly comedy called It's Cold in Them Thar' Hills, and The Leader , a form of Theater of the Absurd. PROM Evening Becomes a ‘Ma gic Moment’ With a few bold strokes of ingenuity the prom truly became This Magic Moment First however, serious discussion and contemplation went into the planning of this year s formal dance. The decision to hold it outside the school posed many problems to the junior class. Transportation, parental permission, and ad- minstration approval were major hurdles stu- dents had to surmount. In due time, however, it was clear sailing ahead with May 15 set as THE date. Thus, swaying from the traditional, this yearjonples danced in the spacious Minn- esota Room of the Orchid Inn at Sleepy Eye. Tantalizing aromas and mouth-watering delica- cies tempted many a pallet at the smorgasborg banquet preceding the Grand March. Reading the Senior Class Will and Prophecy lent itself to a few embarrassed chuckles following the supper. Music in the modern rock style by the Free and Easy wove an exciting background for couples already caught up in the magic that is Prom night. UPPER CENTER—C. Powell, J. Bittner, R.

CHEERLEADERS Are Pep ’n Pazzaz Girls of Our School Building morale, promoting good sportsman- ship, and leading pep fests - these are all part of being a cheerleader. Long hours of planning and practice went into learning new cheers and setting up pep fests. A new methods was used to pick cheerlead- ers this year. Instead of the whole student body as in the past, the choice was made a com- mittee cosisting of class and club officers. ABOVE: ,,B,r squad cheerleaders are Ginger rtgdel, Sherrie Hauptli, Pat Johnson, and Mary Kay Engel.

They posted a six wins-three losses record with only one loss to a conference team. This record was good enough to make them conference co-champions. The Rabbits claimed one of the strongest ground attacks in the area, but the lack of a good passing attack hurt them. Post- season statistics showed an average of better than five yards per carry for the entire season.

However, an ineligible player and a forfeited game gave Franklin a five and zero record and sole possession of the conference champion- ship.

During their second year of competition, the Rabbit1s wrestling squad gained much of what any new team needs most-experience. It was a young team that composed this years 5 and 7 won-loss record. There were only 3 seniors on the squad, and one of them, co- captain Joe Rohlik, was unable to wrestle al- most the entire season because of a back in- jury. A severe handicap to the grapplers was their lack of a heavy-weight. The heavy- weight class had to be forfeited in several meets giving their opposing teams a five point advantage.

Several football games, basketball games, wrestling meets, and track meets are sched- uled to give the junior high boys competition with other schools. This year because of the great number of boys participating separate games were set up for the freshmen. Over sixty boys were in the program this year.

TRACK Repeat Reign as Conference Champ With only five seniors the Wabasso track tean defeated all their opponents handily at the Wo- cohami Track Meet. They won the team trophy, the sprint medley relay, and many ribbons. At the District and Regional Track Meets, the Rabbits did not do as well. However, junior Rod Kragh did qualify for the State Meet as he set a new school record for the 440 yard dash. Part of the reason for the success of this year’s thin clads was the quality of their com- petition.

ADMINISTATION Addition Built, I S Introduced Wabasso School Board members and administra- tion found thmeselves busy with the federal aid to education program and the added responsibil- ity of making plans for the consolidation of the Lucan and Vesta school districts with Waba- sso. Aside from their routine duties, the admin- istration had the increased problem of getting the new addition into use. Purchasing furni- ture for the four new classrooms and the sup- plemental reading rooms of the structure was just one of the many details they had to over- see, The new addition was given a final in- spection when an open house was held early in the year. Making plans for the individual study pro- gram and the vocational education center in Redwood Falls occupied much of Principle Hansen's time. Balancing the budget, keeping the records straight, and supervising work on the building construction underway required Superintendent Bye’s constant attention. Both men kept a watchful eye on the latest educa- tional developments by their attendance at numerous meetings and conventions throughout the year.

SCHOOL SERVICES Fulfill Vital Needs of School Managing the schools only Bureau of In- formation was the unspoken job of our three secretaries. Countless questions crossed the their paths as daily treks to the office put on a good share of the student mileage cov- ered in a day. Along with their usual cleri- cal duties, they also performed such services as issuing lunch tickets, handling club fi- nances and doling out innumerable dri-marks, scissors, and paper clips for student use. Making it possible for students to enjoy the benefits of a clean, orderly building meant long hours of hard work for Wabasso's two custodians. Through their efforts, they promoted a spirit of pride both in and out of school.

FAR RIGHT: Janitors Duane Rhode and Don Friedley are about to wage battle in their camnaign for cleanliness at WHS. SUPPLEMENTAL TEACHERS Provide Person to Person Instruction Introducing a supplemental teaching program at WHS made it possible for students to seek additional help in troublesome academic areas this year. Special rooms in the new addition were designated solely for this purpose provid- ing both adequate space and proper equipment � or for teacher and pupil alike. Feeding and transporting a whole high school full of five to eighteen-year-olds sounds like a job for Mighty Mother . Wabasso, however lays no claim to a Super- woman, it prefers to place this responsi- bility in the hands of an efficient, behind- the-scenes staff to retain the smooth op- eration of the school. Meal preparation at WHS is quite an un- dertaking considering that this job involves satisfying some 200 or more hungary cus- tomers clamoring to be fed. Accomplish- ing this task with both budget and nutrition in mind is a problem tackled daily by our cooks. Keeping an alert eye on the road and a steady hand on the wheel are not the only skills our bus drivers must acquire. Sit- uations covering anything from sermons on the virtues of silence to periodic fire drills make these men adapt at handling any problem that arises.

SEVENTH GRADE Say, Hello, Jr. High Jumping into the swing of things that a new high school life offers, seventh graders were amazed at the amount of activities that had hitherto been left unexposed to them. Beating the clock in the two-minute rat-race between classes, swapping techniques on how to effectively crack open your own locker, and dealing with six teachers, one principal, and forty other classmates all at once entails a small iist of the many experiences awaiting these newcomers. In due time, however, their problems took on a more realistic perspective and seventh graders began to discover the pleasures afforded by their acquired status as high school students Bubbling with enthusiasm their class met its first challenge creating a winning float for Homecoming. Adorning the school lawn with a hugh rabbit accented the festivities and hi-lighted their participation in this school event. Avid outdoorsmen, the seventh grade ex- panded tons of energy exploring the wilds of Redwood Palls Ramsey Hark for their class trip. W. Jenniges J. Johanneck F. King L. King C. Lange G. Larsen J.

Vinn EIGHTH GRADE One Step Up Climbing one step up higher on the student ladder, eighth graders preferred to make their move in a fly- ing leap that landed them smackdap in the middle of a busy school year. Homecoming ignited a fuse that set this class into action. Adding their own touch of humor to the after- noon pep parade they turned out an imaginative float. With the theme of Romeo and Juliet in mind, eighth graders erected a vine-draped balcony of gleaming white pillars to seat the royalty at coronation. Temporarily chucking school books in favor of last summer's bats and balls, the eighth grade exercised muscles instead of minds on their class trip to Ramsey Park. For these students the year proved to be headaches and homework, but heaps of fun just the same. D. Barnum S. Benson T. Beran (not pictured) C. Beranek C. Bernardy D. Bernardy FRESHMEN Bargain to Go Roller Skating Filled to capacity serves as excell- ent phrasology to denote this year's freshman class. Boasting a membership of sixty-one, they outnumbered all other grades in size, strenght, and sais . Learning the diplomatic art of compro- mise, the ninth graders swapped an evening of work on stage sets for the drama coach's presence as chaperone at a roller skating party for the class. Situated in the middle, freshmen tasted the sweet and sour of student status. Reigning as rulers over the junior high was a powerful position that was some- what dampened by the knowledge that they remained submissive servents to the mighty senior high. CO-PILOTING the freshman class through their year were Mary Engel; treasurer. Evelvn Raddatz; secretary, Iairdie Dennistoun; vice- president, and Steve Kalkhoff; president. R. Fidler P. Goche P.

Faced with a tangled maze of new activities, many were tempted to throw in the towel, but time and temperance taught them that the rewards were worth a little rough go- ing at the offset. Electing their own classes to fill four hours- of a seven hour schedule pushed the sophomore panic button for a few, but most accepted it en- thusiastically as their first in a long line of challenges to come. Entering varsity sports competition gave the male segment of the sophmore class an added di- mension to school life. Girls were not exclud- ed from the picture of new opportunities eitner, for their coming of age gave them the privi- lege of attending prom as a guest this year. Shedding the relative security of Junior Higl, sophomores discovered that they enjoyed the idea of going it alone. B. Anton J. Baune D. Beranek J. Bernardy J. Bernardy R. Brand B. Christensen C.

Balancing the hours to include both studies and extracurricular act- ivities as well as the class responsibilities is a noteworthy accomplishment. Homecoming vibrated with eleventh grade energy and en- thusiasm, Under their direction, 'Romeo and Juliet was chosen as the decorating theme and the gym was transformed into the enchanting Capulet garden for the dance, A huge paper napkin rabbit adorned the junior float for the afternoon parade. Sports season saw ambitious juniors feeding hundreds of hungry, thirsty fans at the athlet- ic games. Revenue from these concession sales paid a vital share of the prom expenses. Prom, this year, was a product of junior ingenuity. Holding the formal affair at the Orchid Inn in Sleepy Eye was a first for WHS, Another addi- tion to the evening was a banquet in place of the usual buffet, 1970 was a year of exper- ience that will benefit the junior class in holding the future position as leaders of the student body.

Robed in blue, re- sembling earth-bound angels, the choir showered in their first glimmer of public limelight singing at the Christmas Program. Mass hysteriaI dropped from the lips of more than one music director as Milroy, Echo, and Wabasso joined forces in a massed choir festival in March. Fortunately, under the able direction of Dr. John Rozatto of SWSC the preformance was a rousing success. During the winter season, the choir staged a roller skating party designed to limber up leg muscles while giving vocal cords a little rest. Some skaters, however, experienced a major workout in other areas of the human anatomy not listed above. Falling May showers brought more than just flowers as the Spring Pops Concert rolled a- round. Long rehearsals and last minute touch- ups went into making the choir s final pre- formance as fresh and vital as their first. Triple Trio harmonized under the spotlight at all the major musical productions at WHS including a special PTO appearance. They also had the distinct honor of carrying their sing- ing talents to state competition this year. Enthusiasm, untarnished by long practice sessions, beamed from the faces of Junior High Choristers basking in the audience applause at their Christmas and Pops Concert appearance.

Their both mine I” Exchanges similiar to these were heard periodly floating over the football field as the band soaked up fall rain and cold march- ing for the football games. Five o'clock in the morning is rising time for birds not bands but this hour found the WHS music-makers boarding a bus for a high school band festival at a Gopher football game. Amid the ear shattering sound of wrong pitches and the director's plea for 'crisp notes' the band prodded through long rehear- sals in preparation for its mid-winter con- cert. Disappointment etched itself on many faces following the band's performance at the Dis- trict Music Contest in April when the hope of winning a star went unrealized. Getting band members away from the cookie trays and punch bowl long enough to perform was quite an accomplishment at the Spring Pop's 67 Concert. beginners band Is Music’s First Steppingstone The lights dim, the curtains open, and the silence fades away with the first spirited strains of the traditional marine march as Beginners Band headlined the show at the Mid- Winter Concert. Following this up with a second public appearance at the Spring Pops Concert, this group of small frys proved they could hold their own when it comes to knowing their mu- sic. Often times, visions of musical fame and fortune enhance more than a few students with their first recognizable toots on an instru- ment. Such dreams are, perhaps, momentarily dispelled by entrance in Beginners Band when the road to glory is viewed tnrough the teie- scoDe of hard work. However, demonstrating that the rewards are only as great as the ef- fort involved. Beginners Band serves as the launching pad that rockets its members on their musical careere through high school.

CADET BAND Attends U of M Concert Subjected to the tortures of that first day in Cadet Band, a giant step from Beginners Band, many musicians were immensely grateful if they could share the excruciating experience with a friend who had also just been promoted. But once familiarity set in they integrated their own sounds smoothly in with the din of the regulars . Cadet Band's first preformance at the Mid- Winter Concert stimulated an epidemic of phy- sical ailments including nervous fingers, trembl- ing lips, and tense stomachs. Quite true to human nature though, nothing so soothed their painful conditions as a goid round of audience applause. Under an enchanting spell placed on them by their fairy godmother, alias tie director, the Cadet Band was magically transformed into a Pep Band for a basketball half-time show. No one lost any glass slippers or found any princes, but it was rumored that the final whistle of the game turned them back into a Cadet Band. Drilled in the principle that dedication and hard work are the backbone of a great band, the Cadet members had a chance to observe the theory in practice when they attended a concert at Gay- lord by one of the state's best, the University of Minnesota Band. STAGEBAND Swings with tlie Sounds of 1970 Blazing brass, swinging saxophones, and driving drumbeats pounding out the rhythm set the stage for each appearance of the WHS Stagehand Incorporating the now” sounds of the 70 scene tuned these musicians in to a style that as as free and individual as the music they played. Coloring the program with exciting hits such as Sounds of Silence and This Guy,s in Love With You, the Stagehand serenaded a fan- filled audience at the Mid-Winter Band Concert. With Thursday night deemed as the official rehearsal time, the group polished its talent until they hinted of genuine professionals. The end result was a record-breaking prefor- mance at the Spring Pops Concert Where the Stagehand vibrated with the moving pace of numbers like Aquarius, Midnight Cowboy, and For Once in my Life.

STUDENT COUNCIL Earth Day is Work J tudent Council iniciated a variety of new ideas and programs this year. They began their tide of change by revising th£ tradi- tional homecoming activities to include an outdoor coronation, a bonfire, and a snake dance through town The added festivities were received with general enthusiasm by the student body. National Environmental Day proved to be the greatest challenge in the Student Coun- cil round of activities In cooperation with St. Anne s, they arranged the dismissal of usual classes in both schools to hold joint discussion on topics of national con- cern. Their were a few disappointments— speakers who were unable to attend, films that couldn't be obtained, but, all in all, the day roused a stimulating flow of words and ideas. The community of Wabasso experienced a general face-lifting on Clean-Up Day spon- sored by Student Council. Students from grades 7-10 salvaged litter from streets and ditches in the area collecting it for later disposal. The project, however, was not all work and no clay. A weiner roast and dance Immediately followed the clean-up duties. STUDENT COUNCIL—FRONT ROW: M. Sheraon, G. Bittner, S. Kalkhoff, S. Menk, D. Bruns(vice-president) S. Schultz(president), R.

N H S PI ays Easter Bunny I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of the National Honor Society to which I have been elected,... with these solemn words three sophmores, three juniors and two seniors became the newly inducted members of NHS in Dec. In an attempt to raise funds this year, the club covered every money-making angle from cup-cake baking to popcorn making. Their hard earned income financed an evening supper at the Orchid Inn for the members and their advisor. Hr. Tharaldson. The National Honor Society played Easter bunny for the Kindergarten in the early spring. Seemingly, dyeing and hiding the eggs proved to be as challenging for these illustrious students as finding them was for the Kinder- garteners. Huch to the dismay of the NHS members, when the entire school body was dismissed for Parent-Teacher conferences, they remained be- hind to serve as guides for bewildered parents. In all seriousness, the National Honor Society served a vital part in WHS academics and was proud to be honored as such. NHS—FRONT ROW: R. Rasmussen, D. Zieske, I'. Heiling, R. Pistulka, C.

FHA Visits lwin Cities The FHA perpetuated the ideal of service to others in many of their activities for the year. Members visited the Wabasso Nursing Home at Christmas time and provided a singing festival of entertainment for the old folks. A second trip was also made to the same site in the spring, this time presenting skits written and enacted by the girls, Although FHA devoted a good share of their energy to altruistic projects, they also found time to enjoy the lighter side of teen- age life. On their annual trip to the Twin Cities, the girls stbrmed the portholds of the WCCQ-TV station armed with questions, cur- iosity, and interest. Later on, they sat through the tense excitement of the movie Airport, particially filmed in the city they were presently visiting. In the spring, the girls abandoned the luxury of modern conven- iences and took to the hills for the FHA pic- nic at Ramsey Park, Iniciation of new FHA officers followed the spring style show, a once-a-year opportunity for home ec. girls to play high fashion models in their own creations.

Bumps and bruises were the only criteria necessary to prove onefs attendence at the combination GAA-Letterman’s Club roller skat- ing party held in the fall. In the spring, the girls dragged out sleeping bags, curlers, flashlights, and food to spend a hallowing weekend in the untamed wilds of Shatek State Park.

Footstomping and hair-raising shouts vere just a few of the tactics they employed to lead the Rabbits to their sweet taste of vic- t0rinbetween mastering new cheers and locat- ing remedies for sore throats, the girls set- tled down to the serious business of life- money. To raise funds, the girls donned old grubs and proceeded to wash cars, only to be rained out after a few hours of vigorous activity. But the till registered $ when the girls put all their know-how into the production of candy. Fudge, caramel, and anice melted in the mouthes of fellow students during their noon break and free periods. The hard earned profit provided the cheerleaders with a re- warding experience at camp. LETTERMAN'S CLUB Donates Whirlpool to WHS Athletics Raising money was a big job for the Letter- man’s Club this year. They sponsored the Har- lem Stars, a basketball team, that tours the country playing for fund raisers. The Stars played the WHS faculty. The money that was raised was used to purchase a whirlpool for the Athletic Department. An Athletic Banquet was held on Awards Night for all lettermen, cheerleaders, and their parents. They ate in the cafeteria and went to the gym for presentation of the awards.

Filling out order forms and distributing books was a cinch. The only real problem, wouldn’t you know it, was their arithmetic. Somehow when everything was figured, added, totale-, and balanced they were always just a few cents short. The money was used to finance a supper at Robert’s in Sanborn. Scribbler’s Scrapbook, a collection of poetry and prose by the members, was the major undertaking of the year. A poetry contest for the elementary students also provided material for the edition. Two poems from each grace, one humorous and one serious ’were chosen from each grade and awarded a special place for the Scrapbook. GERMAN CLUB Sponsors Carrot Day- CRUNCH!

Not quite, just the annual German Club Carrot Day when students are allowed to buy and eat carrots during school hours Yuletide season found the German Club brush- ing up on sales pitches for their Advent Cal- endar sale. Climaxing the holidays, they held their traditional Christmas party Hot n hearty-that's the way to describe German food club members discovered when they prepared and dined on a supper composed entire- ly of Deutsche dishes CAMERA CLUB Members Make Others Say,‘Cheese’ Centered around the principal of teach- ing students the proper photography tech- niques, Camera Club plays an essential part in school life.

Pogatchnick, The year is over now and we look back on many things. There were sad moments like the loss of the football champsionship be- cause of eligibility problems in another school. There were proud moments during the District Basketball Tournaments when our team made a great showing. There were quiet moments as the seniors realized that it was almost over for them.
