DMLC Yearbook 1988-1989

. Excelsior 1989

1989 EXCELSIOR Dr. Martin Luther College New Ulm, Minnesota

On August 30. 1988. over four hundred students came together on the DMLC campus. Four hundred students from all across the United States and even some from foreign countries; over four hundred students from all walks of life; over four hundred students with one common purpose - to serve our Lord to the best of our abilities.

Some came with excitement. some with uncertainty of what lay ahead. and some with a familiarity and confidence which showed that the college scene was nothing new to them. The DMLC dorms became a melting pot as different types of people were all thrown into what was going to be our new "home" for the next nine months and expected to get along. It wasn't always easy. but we became a close-knit family. as happens every year.

Goals were set and reached as the volleyball team went to Nationals. the College Choir witnessed to thousands, and P-2 tests were passed. Each success, great or small. was the result of a combination of our God-given talents.

Now another year is only a memory. Another class has graduated and gone on to serve God in the full-time teaching ministry. For these seniors. their time at DMLC has come to an end,; yet a whole new life awaits them.

Yes. the 1988-89 school year has come to an end. but 1989-90 is just beginning.

Faculty As I sat in President Huebner's office, I thought of all the other people who had come before me in his twenty-two years of service to DMLC .

I realized how comfortable and uninhibiting he and his office really are.

Since he has no teaching duties, I asked him what he was called to do as the President. He said that he was called by the Board of Control and is responsible to them for the welfare of our campus. Just a few of Pres. Huebner's duties include making sure the school remains t rue to its purpose of preparing teachers for the ministry, and serving as a link between the school and the Board, and the school and the Synod. He is also in charge of appointing department heads and assigning other administrative roles, as subject to Board approval. These and many other duties keep Pres. Huebner busy in meetings, here and off campus, all through the year.

After we talked about duties, we moved on to more interesting topics. Pres. Huebner said that he thoroughly enjoys the music programs and sports events on campus. He has some of his own background in these activit ies. At Northwestern college, Pres. Huebner played first chair trumpet and also sang in the many choir groups on campus. He is able to keep up with choir by managing the College Choir. He was also very proud of the fact that he was a starter in baseball and basketball. Pres. Huebner does not play sports or the trumpet anymore, but he is an adamant watcher and listener.

Pres. Huebner expressed his wish that one day he will be able to retire in New Ulm. One of his main reasons for staying was that he could get his fill of music and sports events at DMLC. He also would like to stay close to the students and facuity that he has come to love and respect.

Have you ever truly wondered about Miss Haar. the Dean of women? Or about what she does and how she became dean? Beverlee Haar comes to us from the small town of Loretta. MN (you would have to ask her where that is). She attended public school all her life except for grades eight through twelve when she enrolled at the former Martin Luther Academy in New Ulm. Here she decided to dedicate herself to teaching.

She was sent out emergency teaching to her home congregation. After completing college she was assigned to Two Rivers. WI. She taught in three schools following her assignment and ended up here at DMLC where she has been serving her Lord and Church as Dean of Women.

She presently teaches one of the methods courses. "Teaching Kindergarten". Above all else Miss Haar enjoys teaching the most. both teaching as a teacher of young children and preparing those who will be shepherds of Jesus' lambs.

Dean Haar has seen many changes here at DMLC. one of which has been the decline in enrollment. "However," says Miss Haar. "the students seem to be more dedicated and more sure they want to be teachers."

One big change she sees all the time is the maturation of students from freshmen to seniors to teachers in the classroom.

We (the future teachers) "have a big Impact on the lives of our children," says Dean Haar. "the Lord will use them (students of DMLC) as influence on the next generation."

Out With The Old

At the end of this year. DMLC said goodbye to a special member of our campus family. Tutor Joel V. Petermann finished his call as tutor along with the extended call this year as acting Dean of Students.

Tutor was very active on campus. He entertained us at special occasions like Snow Carnival and the Christmas party plucking his guitar, which he taught himself to play. Tutor was also found playing intramural basketball and was soccer club's star player.

Tutor Petermann left us with many fond memories. Some of them include the time he and Jeremy Theisfeldt missed the ball and crashed their heads instead. Senior-Faculty banquets. Snow Carnivals. and the NLCAA Volleyball Championships.

"I will miss the students. professors. and the Christian attitude. There is no place quite like this. In the three years. I saw many changes as students grew and became future teachers," said Tutor.

Tutor had a wait-and-see attitude about his future: "The Lord will put me where he wants. The last place I thought I would be would be at DMLC as a tutor. and I have really enjoyed it here.

As Tutor left this campus. a part of himself has remained with each of us. Our prayers go with him.

The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gra9ious to you; The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.

"I found my true love at a blue-light special at a K-Mart discount store," sang Dean Michael Woldt as he entertained the Snow Carnival masses while picking away at his guitar and playing his harmonica - at the same time. none-the-less!

Our new dean is one of many talents. He enjoys the outdoors - skiing (downhill and cross-country), gardening, camping, and golfing. On occasion.

Oean Woldt can be found playing wiffle ball with his wife Elizabeth in their yard; sometimes they even let their kids play! But when our sources saw them, there were no kids in sight.

Dean Woldt arrived on our campus just before Christmas from Christ Lutheran Church in Oakley, Michigan where he had served as Pastor since 1983.

But his official duties as Dean of Students didn't start until he was installed on January 16, 1989. Originally from Milwaukee. Dean openly admits that he is a fan of the Green Bay Packers. He graduated from Michigan Lutheran Seminary in 1972 and went on to Northwestern College and Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. From 1981-1983, he served as a graduate tutor at Northwestern College before accepting his call to Oakley. He was married in 1983 to Elizabeth Fricke. They now have three adorable children: Joseph 4. Jacob 3. and Amanda 1.

The Woldt family. although still in the adjustment stages. likes New Ulm and all of the DMLC activities. When asked why he took the call. Dean said he enjoys working with the students and helping them through the ups and downs of their college career. He also enjoys teaching New Testament History. Dean Woldt's one major goal while he is part of the DMLC family is "to instill a love for the public ministry - not only teaching, but also witnessing."

We entend a warm welcome to our new d~an and his family. It is our wish.

Dean Woldt. that we do not cause you to get gray hair!

Staff With all of the new changes on campus this year. we must not forget one of the most important ones. A very necessary part of dorm life for the women of DMLC is our housemother. This year we have welcomed a very special mother and grandmother int o our lives. Mrs. lngebritson came to us from Appleton. WI where she had lived for the past eight years. She has lived in Minnesota before. so this was like a homecoming for her. She has enjoyed her first year with its exciting changes from day to day. Mrs. lngebritson has also become a DMLC sports fan. especially basketball and volleyball.

Having three daughters of her own has helped Mrs. lngebritson understand the young women she works with. Some of her duties include caring for ill people and working with the RAs and Dean Haar. No two days are ever quite the same.

In her spare time Mrs. lngebritson likes to listen to classical music. knit. read and also visit her son-in-law Prof. Pelzl. her daught er and grandchildren.

Working with people is never really easy. but Mrs. lngebritson has proved that faculty-student relations are necessary. The people on campus have made Mrs. lngebritson's first year one of lasting memories.

Sinfonia

II.

Recitative In dark ol night, or yet in days beset with strife TI1y gracious loving hand, 0 Lord, sustains; For Thou dost give thine angels charge, Who in their silent, tireless care Surround with their protecting arm Thy children frail who wander paths unknown.

lll.

Aria

1 walk with angels all the way ll1ey shield me and befriend me; All satan's pow'r is held at bay When heav'nly hosts attend me. 路rney are a sure defense.

All fears and sorrows hence, Unharmed by foes, do what they may, I walk with angels all the way.

IV.

Chorale My walk is heav'nward all the way; Await, my soul, the morrow, When thou shall find release for aye From all thy sin and sorrow.

With Christ, my Savior, Guide, And angel hosts beside For all the world, I would not slay; My walk is heav'nward all the way!

"Death has been swallowed up in victory.

Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." - I Corinthians 15:54-58.

J. Engel

Prof. James Edward Engel (1925-1989) Professor James Engel was a man of love, warmth, and caring. He was a teacher and a colleague to some, but a friend to many more. Prof. Engel was the most gifted musician that most of us will ever know. We will always remember his encouraging words "very fine". His memory lingers on in our h~rts, whether it be through his music or through the loving guidance he so willingly showed.

We're ''getting down" and the sounds are groovy. We are caught in a time warp.

We have returned to the 1960's. What is a hippy?

Time : October 17-22, 1988 Place: DMLC Occurance: Hippy Homecoming Peace, love, and tranquility were the words for the week . Everywhere one looked there were flowers and wild-colored clothing.

Of course, the establishment supplied a disturbing influence with tests and homework . It wasn't their fault it was mid-term. There were cartoon characters. football games. a pep rally, and a banquet . (Sorry, no goldfish swallowing!) In other words. all was hip and everybody was happy.

What a bunch of hip people!

The Mikado

" Get into your Japanese character." was the cry heard over and over. This year's fall musical. " The Mikado." was held November 11-13. Director Bryan Schneck was assisted by choreographer Amy Behnke. producer Karrie Neubert and chorus director Janell Wolff. Professors Robert Averbeck and John Nolte gave precious time spending long and hard hours helping out with the production. This talented cast and crew became a close knit family that worked for one common goal to put on the best show possible . " The Mikado " has come to an end but the friendships and memories have just begun.

These people never looked so good.

It was a season of misses but we grew as a team. -Rick Cody, Junior 1988 Lancer football produced DMLC's all time leading rusher: Tom Flunker.

With a slow start against Trinity and Maranathaz. the team pummeled St. Paul Bible. However. an impressive game against traditional power Northwestern-Roseville turned the Lancers around. proving DMLC football would compete with any team in the conference. The high point of the season was a 34-21 victory over Mt. Senario. only the second time DMLC has beaten the Saints. Losing five games by an average of 4 to 8 points. the Lancers were a team of almosts. Almost 1000 yards.

I really appreciated the team spirit and unity which I never experienced before. - Sue Tessmer, Freshman Who in their right mind would run 3 or even 8 miles without being paid?

The 15 people in cross country this year did it because they wanted to.

Cross Country takes a special commitment displayed by everyone during the exciting 1988 season. No one will forget the infamous monstrosity known as "the Hill". found on DMLC's own course. 1988 marked the 1st NLCAA National Cross Country Meet. hosted by DMLC. Though everyone crossed the finish line. and the season has long ended. the friendships made in 1988 are just beginning.

The Spirit Squad Annie Oakley? Will Rodgers? No, it 's the DMLC color guard. This group of women gets their thrills out of tossing letha l weapons each night after school. Well. not exactly. Although it may feel like a lethal weapon when one d rops on your head. the guns are made of wood and the flagpoles of fiberglass. It takes courage!

This elite group of women is responsible for keeping the spirit of the crowd a t its peak. An over-abundance of energy, bright smiles. and boisterous voices cha racterize these women. It's a wonder that the football players can keep their minds on the game with our cheerleaders on the sidelines.

What a better halftime show than our very own porn pan squad. They dazzle you with their kicks. fancy moves. and smiles. They work under the extreme pressures of the sun. heat. and flying soccer balls. But they still come shining through, ready to entertain you.

Golf

In Soccer Club. you get exercise without the intense competition of tryouts. - Roberta Smith. Freshman Although soccer c lub receives very little recognition. each team member can be commended for his or her efforts.

Everyone put in long hours of practic e which became apparent in the skills used on the field . Soccer is no longer only a sport for men. Several women showed they can play just as well. In fact, the men may have learned a thing or two.

Now the season has drawn to a close. but the memories will continue for a long time to come.

December 22. 1989 was the day six people left our campus for the last time as students to pursue their careers as teachers In the Kingdom of God.

Mid-Year Graduation

Pastor Thomas Hennig delivered a message to those in attendance. based on the Word of God found in Luke 2: 17. This scripture text tells of the shepherds proclaiming what they had seen and heard about the Christ-child .

The six graduates. having been taught the truths of Scripture in their classes. along with the methods of teaching and other courses. are sent out now to tell what they have seen and heard.

The graduates. just like all people. stumble in their lives and will make mistakes when they are teaching. When this happens may the graduates be comforted by their class text. Psalm 37:23.24. " ... though he stumble. he will not fall. for the Lord upholds him with his hand."

Some may think they would never want to be a mid-year graduate for various reasons. For instance. the service is not as big as in May. However.

Lynelle Schleusener. one of the graduates said. "It was a special feeling graduating in December. Our class being small. we were close. and I don't regret not waiting until May."

James Babinec. Gary Goessner. Laura Habermann. Joel Pankow. Sue-Ann Plautz, Lynene Schleusener Class Passage: Ps. 37 :23-24. " The Lord delights in the way of the man whose steps He has made firm; though he stumble. he will not fall. for the Lord upholds him with his hand."

As we all look forward to our graduation day. whenever it may be. we strive to do our work to the glory of God.

Congratulations! You made it .

getherness. Many students shared their precious time to help beautify the campus. Streamers were strung. lights were hung, and Christmas trees were decorated. Not one section of the campus was missed.

Someone even sacrificed his scarf to keep the baby Jesus warm in his manger outside the Student Union.

It was great being involved in Christmas at DMLC. The students actually cared. and you could tell that they had the Christmas spirit. - Kristin Schaser. Freshman.

Sharing-that's what Christmas at DMLC was all about. We shared our dreams and special wishes; we shared moments and memories that will last a lifetime. Everyone gave a little of himself to the next person. causing a feeling of unity and to-

The Christmas party gave everyone a chance to share fellowship with each other. Tears could be seen in a few eyes as carols were sung. Solos

by Kristin Vonau. Katie Brandt. and Kurt Cereske and the Sign Language Club touched many hearts.

Feelings and ideas about Christmas were shared with the student body in the many poetry entries that were received.

Then came the greatest example of Christian fellowship and love the DMLC Christmas concert .

Voices were raised in praise as we celebrated the birth of our humble Savior. The various choirs at DMLC dedicated their time. talents. and energy to share their music, emotions. and the Christmas message with the campus family as well as with many guests from New Ulm and the surrounding areas. Much work

was given to the combined choir piece by Vivaldi. directed by Professor Hermanson. This music was different from the type that is usually sung and far more difficult . Despite this fact . the choirs were not easily discouraged. and the end result was beautiful. Though much effort was required to make the Christmas concert and the week preceeding a success. the most valuable gift of all was shared by many - Jesus Christ.

It was an honor and privilege for all involved, and we grew closer through this experience. - Eva Glaeske, Junior Despite the fact that there was hardly any snow this year, Snow Carnival was a roaring success. It all began on a Sunday night with a Faculty-Senior basketball game where the Seniors defeated the hard-working faculty . The week progressed as the seven couples got ready for their own debut in the Big Top. Friday arrived and with it the annual skits featuring red-nosed clowns, smart dummies, high-flying trapeze artists, a ferocious lion, daring knife-throwers, amazing magicians, and fearless tight-rope walkers. We must not forget the former King and Queen and elephant cage cleaners, Al Mindock and Grace Wessel. After Saturday night's exciting Faculty Feud and baby pictures of the court, the King and Queen were announced. This year's deserving royalty were Eva Glaeske and Kurt Cereske.

Congratulations are in order for all the members of the court.

Porn Pons, headed by co-captains Dawn Roxbury and Kris Zunker, keep themselves busy throughout the year. Besides showing routines for halftime entertainment, they are the ones with the friendly faces who sell tickets for home games. If you come to most of the basketball games you will see a new routine every two games. One of the biggest thrills, says one member, is watching the routines when they finally come together. We all appreciate the hours of hard work Porn Pons puts in every week. Keep up the great work!

Color Guard is a group we are all proud of. Robyn Sampson heads this daring group as captain, with Ginger Schrank as drill sergeant and Amy Hopp as drill sergeant-elect.

Color Guard performs at football and basketball games - twirling, tossing, and performing remarkable stunts. DMLC would definitely not be the same without this dedicated group.

- Beckie Sweetman/Ethel Banks, Sophomore Have you ever popped knichl? Eaten poofla poo pie? Walked Barefoot in the Park?

Neil Simon made his DMLC' debut with his hilarious classic, "Barefoot In the Park." "Barefoot" Is a play about the antics of two newlyweds, Corie and Paul Bratter, and the people in their lives. It starts In a quaint, brownstone apartment with a hole in the skylight and plumbing that works backwards. It's comedy-drama about life and such serious topics as loneliness. drinking. and divorce. It's a story about the ups and downs of life. told in a way only Neil Simon could have told it. Take two newlyweds. a lonely mother-in-law. a gentlemanly upstairs neighbor who happens to be a gourmet cook. add a sprinkling of telephone and delivery men and what do you get? An evening of fun and laughter!

College Choir Tours West

The high point of tour? For me. definitely East Fork : the nursery, the church, and especially the people . - Tom Bruckner. Junior.

Choosing one highlight to represent two weeks of memories is a difficult thing to do. Spread out over 5,000 miles, it is impossible. From Liberal. KS to Tucson, AZ; from Disneyland to Colorado State University, the message of God's love for us reached thousands of people in churches and auditoriums. Starting in Sioux Falls, SD and ending in Marshall MN, the " Crown Him King of Glory" Tour fulfilled David's words: I will sing of the Lord's great love forever ; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.

Wouldn't it be great if all of us could have anything and everything we wanted? In this year's production of " The Plain Princess," young and old alike saw Princess Esmerelda get whatever she wished for. except beauty and friendship . No one seemed to be able to help her until Dame Goodwit and her four daughters took her home with them and changed plain Esmerelda into a beautiful Princess. Over 4.000 children came along on this journey into the past to help Esmerelda discover true beauty . The cast showed much talent as they performed six shows in two days, each show being a great success.

Spring Banquet was something else this year. Some people really went out of their way to make it memorable for the rest of us. - Rachel Seiltz, Sophomore A walk through the graffiti-filled subways brought the average DMLC student into New York . Here the jazz band entertained us with their smooth and upbeat songs. We dined in elegance - eating prime rib by candlelight. After dinner, several students displayed their singing talent to the delight of the audience.

Naomie and Ingrid Rodenbeck won the competition with their performance of " New York. New York ." Congratulations are also in order for Becky Huhn and John Kaesmeyer who were named athletes of the year. Ann Gurgel and Carrie Hennig deserve a big thank you for organizing a wonderful Spring Banquet. An escape from New Ulm to New York was just what every student on campus needed.

The choir of sixty-two men and women is directed by Prof. R. Hermanson. more affectionately known as "Rog" to the campus family . Highlights of the year included a weekend jaunt to S. Wisconsin and one two-week tour to the S. West.

On tour. some members did more than sing - they moved risers. This was a very tedious task. but the riser crew party made it all worthwhile. Prof. Hermanson w ill be deeply missed by everyone next year as he goes on sabbatical in Missouri.

Our prayers go with you. and we look forward to your return.

Three to one. That's three women to one man. the present girl to guy ratio on campus. But one organization has turned this statistic upsidedown.

College Chorale had a strong start this year with 20 women and 45 men. Along with the Christmas and Commencement concerts. "the highlights of Chorale's singing this year were a service at St. John's Sleepy Eye, MN. during Lent (as well as) singing in our own chapel ser vices here at school." said Director John Nolte.

The Chorale is the only choir on campus open to all students. regardless of ability. and provides on opportunity for everyone to sing God's praises.

Treble Choir How c an you describe Treble Choir in just a few words?

- Joyce Schubkegel This was the surprised reaction Professor Schubkegel gave when asked to describe this year 's choir. She certainly had a point. It is difficult to picture the emotion felt at St. Paul's, New Ulm, when " What Child is This?" was sung during Advent in the darkened church . How does one describe the loyal dedication exhibited by each singer when tackling difficult pieces of music? Many new sounds flowed from the Treble Choir's lips and hearts this year. A full brass choir added sparkle and flourish to many songs. In the Christmas concert. flutes and c larinets complemented the brass. There were alwa ys talented musicians who used their skills on piano. organ. and violin.

Concert s. church services. and chapel provided outlets for the choir to serve God.

This year they went to Wisconsin Rapids, WI. In early spring they traveled to Watertown, SD for the WELS Handball Festival. The experienced group also got to take part in many of these activities including the festival.

There is also a beginner group for those who have never had the experience and want to give it a try.

All groups enhance our worship services, both in chapel and in local congregations by ringing God's praises.

Collegiate Council

Due to photographer goof-up, the roll of film with the Collegiate Council picture on it looks like the above . You'll have to use your imagination. We are so sorry!

One of the most highly esteemed and envied positions to hold here at DMLC is to be o member of the student government branch. the Collegiate Council. They ore on organization wholly dedicated to serving the student body in various capacities. under the faithful guidance and protective wing of their experienced and ever-popular faculty advisor. Prof.

Lyle Longe. They attempt, through highly tense debate on such controversial issues as the Senior-Faculty Basketball game. open dorms, and chapel seating. to make student life at DMLC on enjoyable experience for a ll.

Also through highly competitive political maneuvering, they ore able to put into motion major programs such as Forensics Fair. Mission Fair, Snow Carnival. and Spring Banquet. This year. as o result of intense lobbying by the SOC (Students for Dancing on Campus), they even managed to open d ialogue on holding dances at DMLC (although reality of this still lies in the future) . In order to continue the political excellence which hos been established on DMLC Hill, popular elections ore held each year by the student body. This g ives everyone on opportunity to run for office and gain some of the invaluable experience and enjoyment which student government offers at DMLC.

Messenger And Student Union Board The primary responsibility is to serve students. faculty. and others in our Synod with the encouraging message that God is still allowing young people to be trained for the Great Commission He has given us. - Kristin Vonau. Junior.

The past year has been a year of growth for the staff of the DMLC Messenger. It has been quite a challenge with a smaller staff and higher demands. This year's staff met the needs of the students by having informative articles about campus life. and in many issues. we were exposed to what our church is doing throughout the Synod.

Some of the changes made in recent issues include a more horizontally-oriented layout. the use of highlighted quotes. and several articles written by faculty members.

The Messenger Staff is always looking for ways to improve the work they put forth. Last March. they did just that. The Messenger writers attended a writing workshop. where they learned more about writing and editing. The staff hopes to be able to attend these workshops in the future. as they found them very beneficial.

Do Not

Sit On The Walls Thanks!!

Have you ever been approached by a stern-faced fellow student in the Luther Memorial Union who told you to get off the brick wall. or take your food out of the carpeted area? Chances are this stern-faced fell ow is a member of the Student Union Board. or a good imposter. The SU Board is responsible for the upkeep of our newlyremodeled Union. If you and a friend have nothing to do and are confined to the campus. you can rent a game from a member of the Board. It's the cheapest fun around!

The obnoxious chatter of the computer printer. our c laustrophobic workroom, the blaring music . the late night work sessions and Domino's Pizza. stress and pressure of upcoming deadlines. creativity. and the overwhelming feeling of accomplishment - these are what make the Excelsior staff tick. This year. with the guidance of two new editors. the staff worked within a tight budget to produce a quality book that d isplays creativity while capturing the memories of the year.

Sign Language The first day I felt I didn't learn enough. I wanted to learn more and more and more! - Heidi Gartman, Freshman The room was silent except for an occasional g iggle. yet everyone, was talking at once. How could this be? Sign Language of course!

Under the leadership of Amy Rahmlow and Neil Neumann, the c lub accomplished a great deal.

Songs, including " Heirlooms" and " Emmanuel" by Amy Grant, were learned . The group a lso watched a video on signing litur gy, and saw several movies about deaf reople. Meeting only one night a week means that the going is slow and frustrating, but many people stick with it . Perhaps not all the words learned will be remembered, but everyone gained and insight into the world of the d eaf.

L-Club and Women's Athletic Club

Jeffre y Schoenherr. Timo thy Voigt. Tom Flunker

L-Club is an organization designed for male varsity letter winners in the DMLC athletic program. This club sponsors the annual Minnesota District WELS Volleyball Tournaments, donates money to the athletic program, and is in charge of the concessions at all sports activities.

The Women's Athletic Club is made up of all women who have participated in an intercollegiate sport at DMLC. Throughout the year, the club provides workers at the women's athletic events and sponsors a church league volleyball tournament in the spring. The profits from these events are used to buy athlet ic equipment for the college. Although meetings are informal and infrequent, the Women's Athletic Club is a very active part of the DMLC campus.

Pep Club And Meet Math

Their spirit soars!

Recipe for Pep Club Take: 26 diligent girls; may include guys. if available 3 devoted officers 1 discerning advisor who wasn't born yesterday a generous amount of paper. paints. and tape and ideas to taste Mix these together on a diminutive campus in a midwestern town. with lots of vim and vigor. Add a dash of zest and creativity . Turn the burner on high and allow to boil for 7 weeks. stirring constantly.

Skim off any problems which may. ~rise . Wh~n all mental anguish. messes. and unfinished bus1n~ss have been removed. pour into a Homecom~ng mold and serve in October. preferably not during midterms. lest it spoil. Serves: 400

Meet Math had another successful year. thanks to a handful of people. We were small. but the effort put forward by these people was tremendous. Once again the students of our WELS gradeschools and high schools were challenged and enriched with a series of five tests which covered a broad spectrum of problems. One test was even devoted to using calculators in problem solving.

The most common phrase heard in Meet Math was heard very early in the year. The phrase was spoken by many seemingly eager students who came to the first organizational meeting and said. "Sure. I'll help!" Unfortunately, from some of these people. it was never heard again.

Another common phrase was heard at many a stuffing party. When you consider that we sent our approximately 400 envelopes for each contest. you will understand that the phrase heard was a resounding. "Who wants to lick?"

Chapel Committee And AVCO Imagine what would happen if you went to chapel and no hymn was posted, the candles weren't lit, and the wrong altar cloths were on the altar. Things would go kind of crazy; it happened a few times this year, causing some confusion. This goes to show how much everyone depends on Chapel Commit tee. Although they are one of the smallest groups on campus, they are one of the most active - they set up chapel everyday. Chapel Committee is also responsible for designing the bulletin boards outside the chapel doors.

Back row: Deanna Holsen. Kristin Vonau. Laura Schroeder. Front row: Neil Neumann. Bryan Schneck. Kurt Cereske.

New advances were made in the committee this year as men were added to the club. Since volunteers are few and far between, their help was greatly appreciated.

AVCO is an organization of individuals that are interested in working with audio-visual equipment and its upkeep. This club provides lighting and sound for many of the events on campus such as Musical. Spring Play, Children's Theater, and any other event that takes place on campus.

This club is made up of both men and women working together for one goal. Everyday AVCO is in full force . They operate the lights for both morning and evening chapel.

Many of the members of this organization give up precious study time to help other clubs put on their productions successfully. Without this club, we would be in the dark.
