Dedication

The main benefit of attending a parochial school is the opportunity lo study the word of God. This is just as uue al Dr. Marlin Lulli~r College as it is al our synod's elementary schools. Students al DMLC engage in a well rounded religious education. And because of professors like Prof. Hoenecke the education 1 springs forth much fruit. In sluaying doctrine and the story of salvation under the tutelage of Prof. Hoenecke, not only is a student 's knowledge increased, but his faith is also strengthened. Prof. Hoenecke creates in ~is students a desire lo search the scriptures 1 and to learn ;is much as possible about our great God. Providing students with a vivid understanding of the doctrines of the Word, he instills an appreciation for our synod which hold to t!ie truths of Scripllll'e. And in his own quiet way he is a bold witness for Chist, portraying a faith, strong and sol id. Prof. Hoenecke graduated from Michigan Lutheran Seminary in 1924. After graduating from Northwestern College he attended Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary t _graduating from there in 1931. He returned lo Michigan Lutheran Seminary to tutor for three years. In 19 34 he moved to Washington where he served several different congregations until 1939. Michigan became his home once again \â&#x20AC;˘.tien 'le served Zion and Christ in Chesaning frDrr! 1939 lo 1946. 1946 brought him lo our ca~pus w 1ere he first served as Dean of Men for several years. Since his arrival al DMLC, lie has been teaching in the religion department. Prof. Hoenecke was married to F ranees Redeker on July 3, 1937. This was al the lime he was serving in Tacoma, Washington. They have three daughters, all of whom are married. The oldest lives here In New Ulm, the other two in Michigan. Al the present lime he is writing a Christian doctrine book. It is hoped lhal his \'.rilings will benefit as many people as his leaching has, for we as students are truly grateful for all that he's taught us. And for this we would like lo say, " Thank you, Prof. Hoenecke, and may God bless you. '

It may sound sickening, gross, enough to make you faint, but its really not all that bad! Al least many of the students at DMLC have discovered that giving blood is actually quite painless. Most feel it' s nothing at all, considering the satis faction they get from knowing how much it is helping someone else. And besides that, it's worth it to get the cookies and punch afterwards . They always manage to have a pretty good assortment. The Red Cross bloodmobile comes to DMLC twice a year, and about two hundred students donate a pint of blood each time. Jn the fal I there are usual ly about seventy nervous individuals who are giving for the first time. Jeff Davis and Stephanie Kell were responsible for organizing the donation days and also for rounding up the many students who were glad to get out of class and help.

Anastasia

ANASTASIA was very different from the comedy which was performed the previous year. The play was about a young woman who was supposedly Princess Anastasia. She had somehow escaped at the lime the rest of her family had been executed. Suffering somewhat from amnesia, she was being used by one Prince Bounine who was attempting to acquire the money that would come to its Russian heirs. The play was marked by ils emolional conflicts as Anastasia tried to discover who she really was. In the end she lert Bounine and his associates in search of happiness. Brenda Bartels played the part of Anastasia. Bi 11 Pekrul and Charmaine Huff played the role of Bounine and Anastasia's grandmama, repectively.

Christmas Week

The last days before Christmas vacation are always very merry ones. Lighted window

panes flicker from Hillview and Highland. In

the LMU, evergreens and garlands create a Christmas atmosphere. Christmas decorations spring up in every building from the library to the cafeteria. The special Christmas service was held on December 6th this year. Mr. Hinz conducted the readings which alternated with the Christmas hymns. For the Christmas party, Rich Schwartz and Dave Bauer entertained as MCs. Several other groups presented some skits and songs. Tlie program concluded with the audience singing traditional Christmas carols. And then, of course, there was the Christmas concert on the last night before heading home. The beautiful sacred pieces pointed everyone' s attention to the true meaning of Christmas in rejoicing at His birth.

Snow Carnival

•---.,,,. . . __

•

For the first time in three years students enJOyed a real snow carnival. The winter snow which usually only comes when it is least wanted for once was present al the time when it was most desired. And the students made the most of the white blanket as they participated in the activities during the week. The events began with the toboggan races down Herman Hll I. Those who survived said it was something they' II never forget. During the week the students were introduced to and became acquainted with the seven snow queen candidates. And then on Friday night they watched as Cheryl Wrobel was crowned queen. Many students worked furiously in the numbing weather helping to build their class snow sculpture, while others participated in the skits. On Saturday morning students spent their energy in the wild broom hockey games. A Lancer basketball ga~e and a Sadie Hawkins movie wrapped up the week.

'ENTERTAINMENT BONANZA'

Arbor Day 1978

We had lo wait until May 2 to finally get it in, but It was worth the wait as the weather finally got comfortably hot after cold and rain almost the whole month of April. Because of the weather predictions, the students weren't really surprised when Arbor Day came, for they knew it had to be gotten-in quickly, before the rains came again. Those lucky seniors had the day free to do with what they wanted! After morning chape I, the other students were given their work assignments. Those fortunate enough to be sent to professor's houses had it pretty easy and were also wel I-fed. Some of the students on campus had

quite a chore, especially those having to rake and dig weeds out of the bowl. The students worked up quite a hear~ appetite which was satisfied with plenty of good food served outside. The tree planting and games followed the noon meal. Many girls then chose lo be a part of the flood which hit the sun deck. Al 3:00 p.m. the facu lty showed they still have a little life by whopping the girls' soltball team . The game proved to be quite a show! Dinner was served out in Luther Hollow and even included ice cream. What more could one ask for?

Call Night and Senior Banquet

On Monday May 29 the 1978 senior class had one last opportunity to favorab ly impress t~e facu lty before Call Night. The opportunity presented itself In the form of the Faculty-Senior Banquet which Is actually a pleasant opportunity for the students and_ faculty to socializ.e. rhe banquet was once again held at the Orchid Inn in Sleepy Eye. Those present ate a delicious smorgasbord meal after which the members of the Synod's Committee on Assignment of Calls were introduced . President Frey gave a short address 1 and Senior class president, Rick Lohmi 1ler nad a few remarks to add to the occasion. Call night was held on May 30 In the overcrowded chapel auditorium . Dean Huebner delivered a very pointed and brief sermon . Then President Frey who was very cool and collected, in contrast with the nervous seniors 1 read the assignments. Out of the class of 110, 83 received assignments, and afterwards they met with their district presidents. A reception was then held for those students of the senior class and their families.

GRADUATION

1978

The day finally arrived! That day which every student anticipates finally came for the 110 seniors who were graduating from DMLC. The graduation service was held Frida~, June 2, 1978 in the gymnasium. Dean Huebner was the I iturgist, and Pastor Kurt Eggert, Chajrman of the Commission for Higher Education was the speaker for the occassion. President Frey and Prof. Schultz then had the honor of distributing the diplomas . The class se~eted the following as their verse: Psalm 27~ 1 "The Lord is my I ight and my salvafioA; wllom shal I I fear: The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" They chose rainbow pastels as their colors. Their class hymn was written by Luanne Degner and Becky Sauck with Dan Hosbach providing the lune. Although graduating Is often a sad lime _of parting, _yet il is a time of-.Jiappiness as many venture out into the teaching ministry •

FRISBEE

ORGANIZATIONS

Many people may

feel thal the only Job

of the Student Union Board is to yel I at people for sitting on the brick dividers or for standing on the furniture in the union. But being on the SU board means more than that. It involves improving and maintainmg the facilities in the student union. This involves everything from making sure the foosball table is in working condition to decorating at Christmas time.

Collegiate Council S6

Student Union Board â&#x20AC;˘ lL r IJ~l.lt

-------.,

â&#x20AC;˘ Collegiate Council is a reptesenlatlve body rr.ade up of fOIO' officers and several Individuals from each class. The council Is responsible for many activities and functions. They must decide how to best spend the funds which are payed In by the student body at the time of reg1stralion. They must keep in contact with all the clubs on carrpus and with the lacul~. In addition the Council organizes such activities as the Christll1as party, winter carnival, and spring banquet.

I S7

Chapel Committee

We should all be grateful lo those involved in the Chapel Committee . It is due lo their efforts lhal we often have beautifu l flowers on the altar or colorrul banners hung in the chapel . Chapel committee is involved with the upkeep of the furnishings which are used for our chapel services. Duties include such things as lighting the candles, posting hymns etc .

â&#x20AC;˘Audio1 Visual

I Club

â&#x20AC;˘

EntertaiMlent at DMLC would surely be restricted If it weren t for the audio visual committee. I he committee takes care of llyliling, taping, projection, recording, and public address at various events throughout the year. Imagine If there were not a club to do these activities? In addition lo being a big boost lo many of the campus events, the club is also responsible for helping others use and maintain the audio visual equipment.

Fortress -~_.

â&#x20AC;˘ Junto

Fortress is made up of a group of individuals who are interested in searching the Scripture. Fortress meets on an informal basis lo study God's Word as it applies to our lives in our world today. Fortress is based on the fact that one can never read the Word of God loo much. For although DMLC students have religion classes, chapel services, and attend church, there is still more lo learn from the Bible. Junlo is not one of the martial arts used for self defense. It is the current events group which is active on campus. The group is student led, and it covers topics from the energy crisis to human rights. It is very helpful to keep up with things in the world since one may have a tendency lo become preoccupied with Iife on campus.

Phlogistons

â&#x20AC;˘

â&#x20AC;˘ Services Club

)

â&#x20AC;˘

Phlogistons is the name assigned to the science club on campus, and your guess is as good as mine where they got the name Phlogistons. This spring the Phloglstons SJ>ent much time in organizing the science fair. There were nineteen entries from grade schools in the area. The projects were al I very interesting and showed a lot of work. It is hoped that this revived club wi II continue to grow through the years.

The service club is relatively new at DMLC. Luanne Rieger is responsible for organizing and starting the club . Service club Is designed to be an aid to individuals in the community who need help or companionship . Often this means visiting elderly people who enjoy seeing a bright face at their door occassionally. Other limes It may Involve helping young cfli ldren. Those involved with the service have found it to be very worthwhi le and fulfilling.

Recorder Club

â&#x20AC;˘ Organ Club

Through organ club a student can become more fully acquainted with the pipe organ and i ls use throughout the church year. Organ club usually has several guest speakers on camgus, and they also attend a variety of functions from organ dedications to recitals. All this brings lo light new ideas which organ club members can put lo use now and in the future. Many people have played a recorder when they were children in grade school. Others pick them up for the first time as freshmen in the basic music class . But few people rea lize the fine music which can come forth from these Middle Age instruments until they hear the recorder club . The club is always busy throughout the year. In addition lo playing for chapel and various events during the year, the c Iub also puts on several concerts. They certainly add lo the cultural opportunities on campus.

Messengerâ&#x20AC;˘

The Messenger is our campus paper which attempts to cover a11 the events on campus clearly and accurately. The Messenger has a wide audience which includes the student body, fai::ulty halumni, and many people t roughout the synod . Because of this it is sometimes difficult to present the material in a way which wi 11 interest al I, but the Messenger manages to accomplish this quite well. The monthly publication includes previews of coming attractions, introductions to new faculty members, entertainment reviews, and sports reports.

Excelsior [~\

(

J.• ' One very common question in the fall of the year is always, " When are we getting our yearbooks?" The reason being that It's always interesting lo look back on the previous year as it has been portrayed through the year book. One tends to forget fr iends who have left DMLC games which were won by one point, or the 1larious MCs for winter carnival. But by paging through the yearbook one can re l Ive the good times from the rear before and say( II Oh yea, I remember ••. ' It is the work of a I those invo Ived in yearbook to make the past year come alive, and hopefully we have accomplished this in our 1978 Excelsior.

Art Club

•

l.. Camera Club

The art club allows those who have a special interest or ability in art to develop their tal ents. The art club has a new advisor in Prof. Averbeck who is very helpful. Once again this year the art club made up Christmas cards which were sold lo the student body. The art club also sponsors an art fair every spring. Tl路ere were many excellent works entered In this year' s fair. The fair was divided into four areas: crafts, photo, sketching and drawing, and painting. The camera club is a brand new club on cam11us which was organized by Linda Ross . Prof. Schenk Is lhe advisor for this new club. In the camera club students wi II be taught a variety of things from operating a camera to developing techniques. The camera club wi 11also become a great boost to the yearbook staff when they can provide pictures for use In the yearbook. Once the camera club gels funds for more of its needed supplies it should really gel clicking.

CHILDREN'S THEATRE ..

The chi Idren' s theatre organ i zalion is made up of many talented individuals who do an extremely fine job of entertaining children with their plays and skits. Children' s theatre Is busy already in the fall as they prepare for their Christmas skit which is given for the little children in New Ulm and the big kids at DMLC (at the Christmas party). It hasn't been determined who enjoys it the most! The major production is in the spring of the year when they entertain grade schools from al I over the area. This year the play was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Dawn Aswege directed this year's spring play.

Porn-pons Drill team .. _ Âˇ---Âˇ-â&#x20AC;˘

The pom-pon squad is made up of sixteen girls who help to promote school spirit with their half time routines al various football and basketball games. Their routines are usually very entertaining especially for the male sector of the

audience. And although it can become rather embarassing for the girls when routines don' t go as planned / the girls enjoy the performing. The group is also involved with taking tickets and helping out with activities at the games.

Pompon Squad

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

This year' s color guard was one of both precision and pride, and consequently the color guard produced some very classy routines throughout the year. The color guard helps promote loyalty to the American flag and country as it decoratively presents the flag al all our home basketball and football games. They also add to the festivities at various games and events with special routines. And they usually leave the audience in wonderment as to how they kee11 from ~king each others hedtls uff with the flags and guns as they twirl them.

Women's Athletic Club

â&#x20AC;˘

L-club is a club in which varsity letter winners can put to work more than their athletic ability. The club is responsible for concessions at all the games. And who of us cou Id do without a cup of hot chocolate at the football games or a Tootsie Roll Pop at the basketball games? The LClub also ~onsors a Minnesota District WELS Volleyball Tournament every spring . Money made on this tournament is used for purchasing athletic equipment.

â&#x20AC;˘

LL-Club 74

Pep club is an organization In which every sludenl is a member even though not every student becomes involved . PPp r.fub '~ main Cfuly Is In pulling everything together for Homecoming. This Includes everything From choosing a theme to arranging the parade and decorating the gym.

Marluts and Aeolians

â&#x20AC;˘

Marluts is a group for the males on campus who enjoy singing a variety of songs. The Marluts make their presence heard when lhey go caroling. Every year on the last week before Christmas vacation, the girls in Highland and Hiiiview are awakened to the sound of carols in t~e hal l . The Marluts also sing occasionally at Highland Manor and for our chapel services. The group is student led and directed.

The Aeolians are the female counterpart of the Marluts . This volunteer group participates in similar activities as the Marluts. Together v.ith the Marluts they present a concert every year . The two groups usually wind up their year o' singing fun by having a joint picnic in the s:iring.

BAND

-- â&#x20AC;˘

The band progra,., is open to al I those students with talent and interest in playing an instrument. This extracurricular activity Is designed to familiarize its members with music of many different kInds and per-

iods. It Is hoped that these

students ca1 fully develop their talents so as to aid in the church services with their music. Under the new leadership of Prof. Hermanso~1 band members fully enjoyed rne hours spent In band practices and performances.

More than half of the student body Is involved In one of the choirs on campus at one time or another. The student interest and enjoyment in singing leads one to believe the statement that music is next to godliness. The choirs' vocal praises can be heard at various concerts throughout the year, the most notable one being the Christmas concert. The choirs also sing for chapel service, various local congregations, and special radio broadcasts. The college choir, under the new leadership of Prof. Engel, devoted their Easter vacation to representing DMLC and praising God, as they went on a lour through Texas and many of the states between there and Minnesota.

The football season was somewhat disappointing for some people because of the team's Inability to defeat Nort'1western when it seemed that this would be tre year to do so. But the team had no reasor to feel ashamed as they plaved sorie VERY exciting games. Almost every game was close, which kept the fans on their feet especially in several of the come-from-behind victories. The biggest thrill was the Fourth quarter touchdown to defeat previously unbeaten Concordia! T'ie defense ;路,as the strong point of this year s team \'. ith the likes cf Plar-a'ln and Teel>! i'l on the line, but the offense also stiowed that they could DO THE JOB. Coach Gorsline felt this year's team lo be lhe best he has had al DMLC, and the~ were certainly much better than their 'five .... ndred record indicates.

Cross Country

It was only the second year for our men' s cross country team, and a Ithough it is growing slowly, it is getting off the ground. For some reason guys just aren' t jumping al the chance to run six or more miles a day- often in the piercing wind, rain 1 or even snow. It must have to do with the tact that it' s at the same time as that other fall sport played out on an iron. But those guys who are on the team are certainly doing a nice job. Although having to compete against some large schools with first class runners / the guys are getting some ver'j respectable finishes. They certainly do have a lol of drive, and should steadily improve.

Varsity Volleyball Tearn This year's volleyball team had a new look. Miss Wade became the new varsity coach bringing in many new strategies. Many new players r4de the team this year, and quite a few graduated from the JV to the varsity. In addition to all of this the leam wore brand new uniforms . The team did quite well this year even though their record doesn t sound overwhelming. Besides having to adJust to all the new things the team had some serious injuries which urt them. Those who attended the volleyball games this year were treated to some real excitement. Even in the games which weren't real close, it was electrifying to see a devastating spike, a dramatic block, or a daring dive for a ball.

The basketball team was supposed to really be ' hurting'' this year. After al I, the team did lose six of their top seven players from the year before due to graduation, errergency calls and the like. But Coach Gorsline, in his first year at coaching the basketball team, molded together a top-rate team. Wilfâ&#x20AC;˘ senior Rick Lohmi lier having a qreat year at center, the team really gelled. Rick was voted SENIOR

MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR or caI pus as he nearly led the young team to the conference championship . The team was actually very well-balanced so that Coach Gorsline could play whoever was hot and also keep the players well rested. In district playoffs the tea111 was barely beaten in a see-saw battle with Ml. Senario, which eliminated them from advancing in tournament play.

State Champions they were not. The team didn't even have a winning season. But the team which was one of the youngest and one of the s ortest in the state, worked very hard the entire season. And although the worl< didn't pay off in many victories this year, the team did Improve considerably over the season. There were many exciting moments during the season. The most thrilling for the team was probably thei r final game which they lost by only a few points. But win or lose, one important fact was that they were dlwdys d tedm. There were rio hot doys ori the floor and no squabbles off . There was competition but also companionship. And through it all the women managed to have fun and many laughs together.

The wrestling squad continues to grow as every year the team enlists more guys to particiQate on the mats . It was the first time that Coach Paulsen had a full team, and the extra men IJroVed very helpful as the team tied Pillsbury for the MRCC tournament championship . Al Greschner and Bill Plamann were outstanding once again. Both of them, Kim Techlin , and T im Klein were individual champs in both the TRCC and MRCC . And in the MLCA, Greschner and Plamann both pulled out second place finishes among the tough compelition.

Last year s tennis team was said to be a young team which would definitely improv~ 1 and this year they did just that. Captain Joel Nelson was the only senior on the team which had three freshmen and three sophomores among the top seven or eight players. The team was very well balanced this year as can be seen by the fact that nine players were letter winners. The balance on the team led to some exciting competition between team members which helped spur them on to their successful season and

second place finishes in both the MRCC and TRCC.

GOLF

' The golf team continues to do well every year. This year the team went undefeated through the first half of the season. They went on lo win the TRCC tournament as Paul Snamiska was medalist with a 77 1 and they finished runnerup in the MRCC, as Paul Edmundson came out the medal ist. The team's

fine showing was very encouraging since they lost more from last year's team than expected. But the veterans just worked "extra hard", and several fine freshmen also helped to fill the void â&#x20AC;˘

BASEBALL The weather was very dismal at most of the baseball games with the fans havihg to dress like they do for those chilly fall football games. Fortunately the team 13.layed'much brighter than the weather. The pitching was excellent throughout the year with Paul Bauer, Mark Tacke, and Larry Selnow Laking turns on the mound. And Ron Ohm nearly tore the cover off tne batl as he hit at a 450 clip! ~on led the team in almosl every batting category including twenty RBis for the season. Bauer and Tacke were close behind with nineteen RBis. The double-header sweep of Roseville to sew up the MRCC championship was P,robably the most exciting moment in Me1hack Memorial Stadium this year.

It was a rebuilding year for the women s softball team, but the team still managed to play 500 ball. It took a little time for rookie head coach Barb Leopold to determine a set line-up and her strongest defense. But once things became fairly set the team steadI ly improved. Defense was probably the weak spot as the team seemed rather error prone. Pitching caused some early problems, but the hurlers soon developed their control and did some fine pitching at the end of the season. Laurie Landry and senior Ann Steffen led the team when it came lo swinging the bat.

What would life at DMLC be like were it not for the heroics, comedy, and good times present at the intramural games? Although cheering at interscholastic events allows for some release of tension, it doesn't permit the total involvement which is possible from participating in intramurals. lntramurals provide compelilion for al I students, and it allows them an opportunity to improve athletic skills . It gives

some the opportunity to experience the thrill of victory, but no one ever agonizes in defeat. Because win or lose, every one is out to have fun! Through competing in intramurals, a person can develop close friendships, meet new people, and keep his body in " some kind of shape. " lntramurals are a very important part of the athletic and social Ilfe at DMLC.

WHY IS THIS EXCELSIOR LATE?

In the fall of 1977 the 1978 student Excelsior staff began work on this book. They found It impossible to finish the job. After two years, about one-third of it was finished. A faculty member, who was concerned about the student fees paid for a book that didn' t exist, decided to complete it. Enlisting the help of other faculty members to identify the old pictures of students and sorting through boxes of photographs of campus events, he constructed the best possible yearbook under the circumstances.

JUST PASSING THROUGH?

A student who graduates from DMLC has had a rich variety of experiences which changed his attitudes, opened new vistas of knowledge, and strengthened his faith. In a sense, the graduate joins the ranks of thousands of other Lutheran day school teachers who have " passed through " this college. Yet whenever DMLC is mentioned, he will cherish the days spent here preparing for service in Christ' s kingdom. The DMLC experience is, in that sense, MORE than "just passing through. '
