Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1983 volume:

In Memory Of Warren Kristensen Always a smile, never a frown, Always a hand when someone was down; Happiness you gave to everyone you knew. No better things could anyone do. Your presence brought joy to everyone’s heart. Laughter and cheerfulness right from the start. God gave us a gift, then took it away, But your beautiful memory is here to stay. The blow is hard, the shock severe. We little thought your death so near, And only those who have lost can tell The pain of parting without farewell. Author- Unknown To a classmate who was always more than a classmate. He was like our brother. MICHAEL VONN ANDERSON Choir 1.2,3.4 Swing Ch 2.3.4. Boys Glee 2.3 Madrigal 3.4. Soloist 3.

Sr Clan Play 4 Senior Class Wills I, Mike Anderson, will my ability to stay up all night watching movies to John Barnes in hopes that he will never be a “party-pooper” again. 1, John Barnes, will all my nicknames I’ve received over the past years to Rob Bengston and Co. I, Mike Carlson, will my ability to race to Joel Suhr in hopes he can someday beat me. 1, Todd Carlson, will all of my sarcastic abilities to David Fink in hopes he can straighten out the girls in his class. I, Todd Eckstrom, will my ability to get out of exhibiition driving tickets to Russ Koppelman in hopes he can do it better than I did. I, Steve Finn, will my hot Honda Civic to anyone who can beat my reported record of 29 feet of black marks. I, Scott Frevert, will my favorite parking space to Mr. Hageman in hopes nobody takes it as much as 1 did. I. Jodi Gillilan, will my ability to blush to Patty Wrick in hopes that she will blush a deeper red than 1 did. I, Jane Hoppe, will my ability to whistle with my fingers to Chris Kephart in hopes she can finally get a guy’s attention without telling her intelligent jokes. I, Joel Hoyt, will my right rear fender to Steve Finn since it fits his foot anyway. I, Debbie Johnson, will all my oranges to anyone in band who thinks they can hide them behind their stands as well as 1 did. 1, Lori Johnson, will my ability to get “busted” like the guys to Sandy Swanson in hopes she will show some better judgement. I, Marilyn Kleinschmit, will being a carpenters dream to Chris Kephart. 1, Sherry Koehler, will my ability to knock people over in volleyball to Jodene Finck. I, Kathryn Kumm, will the blue pickup to the next Kumm kid in line in hopes he keeps it on the road as much as I did. I, Christine Landholm, will my ability to get Jodene Finck to go to Bloomfield dances to Megan Creutz in hopes she has better luck than I did. We, Roger Muller and Dave Olson, will our “beverage” tabs, that suddenly disappered from our locker, to whoever isn’t man enough to collect their own. 1, Carol Rosberg, will all of my rude remarks and gross behavior towards out-of-town salesmen to Jodene Finck. I, Joel Suhr, will my ’82 Chadron trip to “Buckwheat” in hopes to show him the way. I, Josette Swanson, will my ability to drive a five speed clutch to Megan Creutz in hopes she’ll someday learn how. I, David Wamberg, will my track ability to Chris Wilbeck, as the saying goes: “no brains, no pain”. I, Tracy Wilbeck, will my keen sense of time to anyone who wants to be late for everything. 1, Randy Wolfgram, will the toolbox on my pickup to John Barnes and Rob Bengston in hopes that it will look better on their cars than it did on mine. I, Beth Wrick, will my unique ability to do “ape calls” around town and on road trips to Michelle Anderson in hopes she’ll keep as many people awake as I did. I, Kathy Young, will my hair-cutting ability to Lisa An- derson so she won’t have to come to Yankton every three weeks. With The Light Of Today We Will Explore The Path Of Tomorrow. Junior Class Activities Thi� years County Government participants: Back L to R; Marc Gill- ian, Don Rodgers, Rob Bengston, Otto Woockman, Kirk Otteman, Dave Fink, Todd Barger, Tod Lundberg. Front L to R; Chris Kephart. Megan Creutz, Jodene Finck, Linnea Folck, Sondra Mainquist. We the Juniors launched our 1982-83 school year with twenty-seven members. And what a year! Soon we were involved in a whirlwind of activities that naturally accompa- ny the Junior year. With Class Play, County Government Day, and Prom how did we ever find time to study? To us this will always be the year of dressing up western, putting on make-up (even if some of us didn’t like it), and doing our best to impress the Seniors with Prom. Yes, this was OUR year! Maybe the best ever! But then, wait till you see us next year! ANDREW TIME CENTER JUNIORS . . . JUNIORS . . .

No, but Fif- ties Day brought out the Duck- tails and Bobbie socks once again. Some of us spent all day trying to figure out who was be- hind those Foster Grants. Look out Charlie’s Angels! The Freshmen Boys of Wausa High are out to show you just who has the beauty. Not to mention the poise and sexy walks. These Freshmen boys were Sen- ior’s slaves for a day and were to dress in their master’s own de- sign. Each person represented a winning slogan in getting in the spirit of things. Now these girls know All the latest styles! Freshmen being slaves for the Seniors gave Spirit Week some- thing extra this year. One never did know what he would see for cos- tume design. Some of the ideas were rather unique to say the least. The Seniors made a contest of dressing up the Freshmen and gave awards to the winners. Creativity awards went to Tim Johnson for most sexy legs, masters Tracy Wil- beck and Todd Carlson. Most origi- nal to Jane Bengston, master Jane Hoppe. MR.

Then I smile as 1 realize how, the years havn’t passed me by. Still, I feel a part of me is going, as we wander through life’s doors. The only advantage 1 have is knowing, good times, there will always be more. I look around on this final day, of being together once again. I have so many things to say. Thanks for being my friend. The speaker says his final good-bye. and everyone gets a big smile. I give myself a silent sigh, th iarc vorlwnadjHMvorthwhil People shake my hand as the line goes by, and the end comes finally near. I see a tear in my parent’s eye, as they cry a lonesome tear. 1 give them a hug and 1 say what I cam, they look at me so sad. Thanks for lending me your helping hand, and remember the good times we’ve had. I look and see my classmates in line, and the old school standing still. The memories will always be mine, I’ll keep in touch. Really I Will!
