Chuck (Charles R.) Bernhardt. He was born November 2. 1960. and passed away June 22. 1977. Chuck will remain in the hearts of his friends SAFELY HOME I am home in heaven, dear ones; Ho. so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty; in this everlasting light All the pain and grief is over. Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in heaven at last. Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! but Jesus' love illumined Every dark and fearful glade And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And Jesus' arm to lean on. Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not greive so sorely. For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth's shadows. Pray to trust our Fathers will. There is work still waiting for you So you must not idly stand; Do it now. while life remaineth—You shall rest in Jesus' land. When that work is all completed. He will gently call you Home; Oh. the rapture of that meeting Oh. the joy to see you come.

Cadets Have Tough Competition There was not a lot to brag about in the boys' sports section this year, and football was no exception. This was a year in which success was measured by the number of players that gutted out the winless season and did not quit until after the last game was played. It was especially tough for Mr. Smith who had an 8-2 district championship season the year before. Mr. Smith gave up the coaching chores after four years as head coach. 38 Jeff Scherer—2nd Team All-Conference, Honorable Mention— Fremont Tribune Joe Ortmeier—Guard Randy Ross—2nd Team All- Conference Ken Stine—Tight End Bryan French—Quarterback Dan Meyer—Guard Nick Albus—Half Back Varsity Volleyball FIRST ROW: P.

Highlights of the 1978 Wrestling season were back to back tournament victories in the West Point Invitational and Logan View Holiday Tournaments. Ten of 12 wrestlers placed in the WP Invitational with championships going to Steve Stark. Dave Masilko. and Jeff Scherer. Nine wrestlers placed in the Holiday Tournament with championships going to Steve Stark. Jay Schroeder. and Steve Tibbels. Four wrestlers placed in the district meet, qualifying them for the state tournament. Stark won a championship while Masilko and Scherer placed 3rd and 4th at state. Steve Stark became the school's 4th state champion while defending champ Jay Schroeder finished the state meet compeition in 3rd place. The Cadets placed 11th in the state Class C meet. Mr. Rich resigned as head coach after the 77-78 season. He coached wrestling for 7 years—in 5 of the years, his teams ranked in the top ten. Four of his wrestlers won state championships in their weight class. To say the least, his services will be greatly missed. Steve Stark-98 lb. Jeff Scherer-155 lb. Jay Schroeder-126 lb.

Golfers Gain Experience In A Rebuilding Year Senior Letter Winner Robin Scherer An undaunted but inexperienced golf team was labled a rebuilding team and showed every sign of fulfilling that promise in future years. Unshaken by inclement weather, and a marginal success record, team members worked hard, stuck together and maintained their drive to improve their game. Look to this team in years ahead for championship success. Sports Shenanigans Track Squad —FIRST ROW: P. Bettenhausen. R. Poppe, D. French, V. Harrington, T. Addy. SECOND ROW: P. Woerner. L.
