Growing

and

Glow-ing

I. ·cE THE DAY of July 1, 1954, when K~· on and :Mantorville Schools consolidated, the two bodies have progre:-sed as one !:>pit·it.

E. ~ROLL~IEXT ha · reached an all time high for the high school of 465, and faculty, too, has increased to 24 plus th uidance couru elor and the principal, to meet thi constant demand. THE JR.- R HIGH building, completed in darch, 1958, made it po,"ible to offer additional courses: French and Yocation.ll agriculture. All departments found them~elves with plenty of much-needed space in ad­dition to new facilitie~. ince then, new equipment has benefited all departments. Athletic teams, band and chorus were dt.>eked in new school color::-.; blue and white. Phy~ical education was strengthened ,.,;th parallel bar:-;, new mat~. a trampoline and a new athletic field, including football, track, ba eball and softbalL N'OT ONLY did the . tudenl" learn, but parents and community members a well reaped the benefit.•; of night cla: e: in agriculture, homemaking and ch·il defen.e.

FOR TWO YEARS, Kasc:on-Mantorville H. S. has sponsored AFS foreign exchange students. In 1957-58 Katsuji l\1ia~aki came from Japan for the school year; and again in 1960-61, Kristine Schoenfeld from Germ­any studied here. In the summer of 1958, Rita Stucky was selected by the American Field Service to travel to Italy for three months.

WITH A GROWING school, goes the call w wider horizons, in our case, the Hiawatha Valley Conference. which we joined in 1957·58. Here the band, choru~ and athletic bodie · met and accepted the challenge. Stiffer competition re·ulted in a more united spirit w come out on U:>p-and that we did-when in 1959-60 our foot· ball team reigned Conference Champ , and in 1960-61, the baseball team went undefeated. In 1961 we sent the largest delegation to All Star, and the gridders tied for second place with St. Charles for the glory of K-MHS.

WITH A RISE in school spirit, came additional energy expended on clubs and organizations. Honorary societies appeared with the tapping of eleven charter member w National Honor Society in April, 1960. 1960-61 marked the initial selection of members for Quill and Scroll.

TO SUMMARIZE the consolidation of the two communities, Kasson and ManU:>rville, one would find the words "growing and glowing" quite apropos.

student by having car washe~ and various drives was the main undertaking of the Student Council, the offic­ial organization for leading the students, during 1961-62. President Bernie Beaver conducted meetings every two weeks. Representatives from every first hour class attended the meetings and reported the happen­ings to their first hour classes.

TWO REPRESENTATIVES, Pam Robertson and Ronnie Olson, attended the Student Council Convention at Owatonna. The Council also contacted performers and lecturers for lyceums and prepared a Christmas program for the students.

Seventh Grade Tops

Elected to lead the seventh grade class during their first year in high school are Chuck Harris, president; John Haugen, vice president; Jane Andrist, secretary; and Dan Buegler, treasurer. THE TRIUMPH of winning first place for their float

the Homecoming Parade and a fun-filled picnic at Min­eral Springs with the eighth graders make the seventh grader·' debut into junior high a worthwhile year. After the less taxing pace of grade school, the subj taken on by the seventh graders provided consid challenge. With two hours of English each day, eventh graders should have a trong background

that all-important subject, especially . ince they required to write reference papers. C\ enth grad girls will reminisce about making their aprons in Economics, and the boys \vill recall the difficulties encountered in Industrial Arts.

ONE OF THE major intere ·ts of the eighth graders was music, since many of them participated in Junior high band or junior high choru.. Among the members of the clru· · \\'ho attamed high academic tandards, Vicki Marti and Jolene Schulke were especially outstanding.

THE EIGHTH grade, however, had other activities besides their schoolwork. Junior GAA was very pop­ular among the girls; and many of the boys participat­ed in junior high football, basketball or wrestling. The entire cia: enjoyed the picnic at the close of the school year at Mineral Sp1 ings with the seventh grade. The eighth graders put on a Halloween Party for themselves and the seventh graders.

THE I• HE Hl\IEN year, traditionally regarded a ' the first year of high ::;chool, mark:s the beginning of higher mathenultic.", algebra. The Freshmen toiled over r e-earch papers in both their general science and English

clas.-;es. During this year, the ninth graders also ap­plied themselves to the American College Educational P::-·ychological Tests and the Differential Aptitude Te ·t to determine their 'aried aptitudes. Among outstand­ing freshmen, Dick S\\alla, who was the only Freshman in a long time to make the vru·sity football team, is perhaps the best known. Lois Aarsvold was cho ·en by her classmates a their Homecoming attendant.

• Challenging Courses tn

ELECTIVE COURSES offering considerable challen­ge, like journalism, biology, plane geometry, and typing marked the academic program for the sophomores at K-M. Journalism students strive to develop a concise yet vividly descriptive writing style; biology students studied a variety of living organism ; plane geometry sought to prove the truth of theorems; and typing stu­dents worked toward an even, accurate, rapid rate.

THE TENTH graders were responsible for the huge bonfire which was heaped higher than many in the past for the Homecoming celebration this year. The class bestowed the honor of Homecoming attendant upon Pat Olive. Sponsoring ock-hops and game conce ions was the chief money-making project the sophomores engaged in.

Sales Conscious

With such major activitic~ as Prom and the mag­azine drive, the junior chose to lead them, Jerry Arj:;et.-1:inger, Lee Lamp!anrl, Dick Alberts, and Harold ·wright, a · t heir prc:-ident, vice president, secretary and t reasurer, r espectively.

SELLING magazines for the annual drive, preparation for prom, and the production df a class play were the big events of the junior year. The juniors exceeded their magazine goal of $2,610 by $200. Top salesmen reaped the rewards of their labor by going to a Min· nesota football game at the University. As for prom, preparations were discussed, debated and finally de­cided on. Carrying out the plans was the biggest pro­ject for the Juniors.

IN THEIR courses of study, many Juniors took either chemistry or French I, and many of the girls studied shorthand. Some Juniors applied their reasoning pow­er to the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. During this busy year, five percent of the junior class were eligible to be cho en as members of the Nation· al Honor Society.

Discusses

French Culture

There's something about a French girl - French b officer Doug Burgess, Lowell Himle, Lee Lamp­

and Ann Parkin.

A SAVORY dinner of French cmsme - un jeu de quilles (bowling 1 -a Christmas party - a Halloween costume party - these are the most memorable activit­ies of French Club in 1961. Attendance at regular meet­ings was high, despite conflicting schedules. The lives of French painters, French writers, French current events and various other subjects were given complete review. by French ~tudents who had hopes of earning a French pin. Through thi~ worthwhile club, many students gained a pen pal in France.or Belgium. As well as being enjoyable, French Club, upervised by Mrs. Earl Bartel, guided students to a better under­standing of French culture.

PERHAPS, THE mo t enjoyable event the F.H.A. girl. took part in during their year's activities, was the slumber party with the G . .A.A. With pillows, pop, and record::;, the girls spent the night in the gymnasium and breakfa ted there the following morning. The roller skating party with the F.F.A. boys wa · another fun-filled event which was a pleasure to all attending skaters.

ON THE other hand, perhaps the most memorable part of the F.H.A. year was the Mother-Daughter Ban­quet in February. Planning and preparing the dinner and decoration::;, with the help of a church circle and advi~or, ::\!i. Olotile Pe~·e, added to the girls' know­ledge of and experience in entertaining.

TWENTY-FOUR members attended the District Con­vention at Wanamingo, and Pat Burdick, Pat Olh·e, and Judy Cadon represented the K-M chapter at the State Convention in Minneapolis. From these conven­tions, the girl brought back new ideas and suggestions for improving the local chapter.

EARLY SPRI~G found the entire chapter selling cookbooks a a money-raising project and working on the ~istrict Project of Democracy or State Project, Traffic Sa~ty.

LATER IN the ..,pring, the group concluded the vear with a tour conducted to acquaint them with various retailing firms.

THIS PAST YEAR, the K-M F.F.A. boys were active in a nwnber of activities. Last fall at the local F.F.A. show, the district show at Austin, and the State Fair, the chapter exhibited livestock from their fanning pro­grams. This is the third consecutive year that the chapter has placed first at both the county and district . bows, and the second year they placed first at the district show at Austin. They were in competition with twenty other schools from District 16. Larry Edgar's Re.--erve Champion Gilt over all breeds was displayed, and Randy Trapp exhibited the Champion market pen of three and the champion individual over all compet­ition.

THE CHAPTER was in four judging contests on a district level ; general livestock, meats, soils, and dairy cattle.

THE GENERAL livestock team, consisting of Bob Denny, Gaylen Threinen, Wendell Engelstad, and Gary Wright, placed fourth out of fifteen teams, and will take part at the state contest in May. Gary Wright placed sixth out of sixty individuals.

THE MEATS TEAM: drew a third out of fifteen other teams with Larry Edgar placing fourth out of sixty individuals. Other:; on this team were Randy Trapp, Paul Koperski, and Gary Thronson.

THE SOILS TEAM placed seventh in district compet­ition, and Jerry Argetsinger was fourth high individual. Randy Trapp, Paul Koperski, and Lowell Bartel were also members of this team.

THE DAIRY TEAM will participate in the district contest in ApriL Ronnie Olson, Jay Harris, Jerry Bartel and Lowell Bartel are also members of the dairy team.

THE CHAPTER also has a 16-acre crops plot east of the school building. The students of F.F.A. gam val­uable knowledge and experience from their working with it.

A SHEEP RING is also operated by the boys; they have a one-half interest in a Registered Suffolk Ram and ten purbred Suffolk ewes.

Speech

Builds Confidence IN CONTRAST to previou. year~. more !'peech :tudents

entered the oratory field of the speech conte~t thi year. Under the direction of Mrs. Earl Bartel, some speech students expre~sed their own irleas and ideals in the writing of original oration!', which they then mem­orized. Studenu entering the non-original oratot·y field memorized the work of another author.

GUIDED BY 1\!r. Neal Lang, ~pecial students also interpreted serious and humorou. selections. In the storytelling field, a relatively new contest, the racon­teurs of K-M acquainted them:eh·es with a g-reat var­iety of stories. The one-act play, "The Shoemaker's Wife," directoo by ::\lr. Lang-, was a light comedy.

AITER SEVERAL weeks of striving for the pet·fection of their speaking technique:::, the rather apprehensive speakers were judrred and scored at the school in a preliminary contest. Students who rated high!~· were able to compete in the district conte~t at Winona.

Interpretative Readers include Billie Fuchs, Ste\·e Brown, Lee Lampland, Sharon Lo tegaard, Lonnie Terp tra, Kathy Kellar, Naomi Johnson, Lowell Himle, Rosemary Blaine, Lisa Fineid, ue Harmon, Jo)~e Ar­getsinger, Sharon Baker, and .Marilyn Buehler.

Judy Pietrzak and Jim Chrigtensen were the only entrants in their re pective divisions of Storytelling and Extemporaneous Reading.

Non-Original Oratory contestants were Connie Prescher, Ardis Fjerstad, and Rita Southworth.

Those composing their own orations for the Orig­nal Oratory division were Janice Boyum, Ann Miller, Steve Kleeberger, Karen Lar~on, Karen Tucker, and Marian Lenz.

One-Act Play cast included John Harmon, Steve Kleeberger and Billie Fuchs.

Polished Performances THE CURTAIN parts with a swish, the audience be­

comes hushed and the play begins. On Saturday, November 18, the curtain opened upon the Seniors' public performance of "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" at the K-M gymnasium. The climax of five weeks of rehearsal had been reached ; the actors had practiced and perfected their parts; the production crews, includ­ing make-up, props, lighting, and sound, had all eagerly done their various jobs; and the publicity crew had handled the advertising.

BILLIE FUCHS and Naomi Johnson, playing the parts of two 19-year-olds on their first trip abroad, led the cast of 17. Director Neal Lang, after worrying through the problems encountered during rehearsals, was rewarded \\-ith a polished performance, and a blue sweater.

Hotnecotning '61 SLOWLY, sedately, in contrast to their nervousness within, the 1961 Homecoming Queen candidates and at­

tendants walked up the aisle in the emi-darkness of the K-M gymnasium About 30 minutes later, Pat Bur­dick happily stepped down the steps as queen. Following her were the other candidates, Janice Boyum and Lisa Fineid, and her attendants, Lois Aarsvold, Pat Olive and Jeanne Houseman.

A SHORT time later as the yellow-orange flames of the bonfire leaped and danced in the chilly autumn air, the cheerleaders led yells as the students and alumni re ponded with great gusto.

THE MISTY, damp weather of the next day may have dampened the decorations on the floats, but the spirits of the students remained high and happy. The seventh grader·' float took first place in the parade with its ingenious slogan "The Saints Go Marching Out on Stretchers."

K-M DID not win the hard-fought, though score-less, game against the St. Charles Saints. U this dead­lock lowered the morale of the students, they brightened at the Homecoming Dance where they danced to the mu ic of Jim Storey.

THE 1961 Homecoming, the most gala event of the school year, will be remembered with nostalgia for years to come.

Ne-w- Robes Adorn Chorusters

THE ALL-STAR PERFORMANCE, Christmas pro­gram, voice c1inic, and Spring Concert were events that kept the chorus busily practicing to improve their voice quality and breath control. The Junior Chorus, made up of seventh and eighth graders, participated in the Christmas concert along with the Senior Chorus.

BESIDES LEARNING about the art of music and its background, chorus students were required to write a term paper related to music. Chorusters were happy to wear the new blue robes and white stoles that were added this year.

WITH THEIR CLARINETS, oboe, axophone , drums, flutes and other instruments, the K-M band per­formed numerous times this year. Three concerts -the Christmas program with the chorus, the mid-winter and the spring pop concerts - kept the band member striving toward perfection. The All-Star performan­ce at Lake City, the Hiawatha Valley League Band Clinic and the Exchange Concert with Lake City kept the band practicing new mu ic all year.

WEARING THEIR new bright blue uniforms with white braid trim, the musicians marched and played at su~h ~..unmer festivals at D. C. Ag Day and the Pine Island Cheese Festival. Under the direction of Mr. William Zesiger, they performed Friday evenings dur­ing the ·ummer in downtown Kasson. Playing at foot­ball and basketball games was another service of the largest fir t band ever assembled at K-M.

Young Musicians BASKETBALL gnmes are ahvays enjoyable, but they

are even more so when spectators are entertained at half-time::. ' ith a baton-twirling routine.

BESIDES pre~enting their routines often at basket­ball games, the six majorettes and two alternates reg­ularly performed at football games with the band.

DURING THE ummer, the girls kept adroit with their baton · by marching regularly with the band. Led by head twirler Judy Carlon, the majorettes wore blue betringed outfits.

THE STUDENT body really appreciated the appear­ance of the K-l\1 cheerleaders at all the football, basket­ball and \vrestling events, where the girls enthusiastical­ly led the student body in countless songs and rousing chants.

BOTH THE "A" squad cheerleaders, dressed in navy blue skirts and sweaters, and the "B" squad cheerlead­ers, wearing white outfits, were a welcome sight at all the pep fests as well as games. The girls were always ready with new cheers, a result of weekly practice and their attending a Cheerleading Clinic at Stewartville where they were given criticisms and helpful advice on their cheers.

Gridders Finish Second THE 61 K-M football season proved very successful with the KoMets showing a second place finish. To

help make this a productive season, a record number of 35 athletes turned out to help Coach Ed Leuthner and his staff in compiling a 6-2-1 mark.

THE FOOTBALL season witnessed many hard-fought contests. Among them were the KoMet's 14-6 victory over West Concord, their mud sloshing 0-0 Homecoming tie with St. Charles, and their exciting 19-13 loss at the hands of conference champions, Zumbrota, as the KoMets' valiant bid for victory went for naught as a r :>ult of a late game pass interception.

THE PER CARRY averages and total yards compiled by the leading ground gainers were Gary Threinen, with a total of 360 yards for an average of 4.8 yards, Denny Head with a total of 234 yards and an average of 4.5 and Doug Burgess compiling 321 yards for 3.7 yard~ per try.

BASKETBALL PRACTICE opened N overnber 13 with about thirty boys reporting for both "A" and "B" teams. Coach Huse had last year's leading scorer and rebounder, Gary Petersen, a senior, leading the first of five returning lettermen. Others were Tom Loquai, John Harmon, seniors, and Bob Denny and Lee Lampland, juniors. This year's squad was a fast, hard working one with no one over six feet one inch tall.

PROBABLY THE MOST valuable player on the squad was senior co-captain, "Gar'' Petersen. He av­eraged better than 20 points a game along with 15 rebounds.
