Gerald Walta has been on faculty teaching German and History and coaching runners since 1978. However, he began as a freshman himself in 1967 (<<there he is, bottom right runner, along with Coach Robert Kuehn, Steve Zander, John Roth in the back, and Enno Knief to his left [courtesy 1971 KEMO yearbook]).

He then coached LLHS cross country as a UW– Whitewater college student in 1973. He retired from coaching and transitioned to part-time teaching in 2016. In Herr Walta’s own words, “this place has been my life” for over 50 years!

I

n a day and age when a person changes careers 5-7 times, when 30% of the population will change jobs every 12 months, and a 2013 Gallup poll reports that 1 in every 4 Americans moves every 5 years, I have had the honor and privilege to serve here at Lakeside for over 4 decades. If you include my years as a student, you can change that to over 5 decades. Yes, we are in our 10th president and our 6th principal since I first walked these halls.

And as the Lord has blessed our Lakeside so abundantly, it is fun to reflect: when freshman me first walked these halls, there was no bus barn, no curb on Woodland Beach Road, no trees, no football stadium, no softball diamond, no track or utility shed, no paved parking lots, no courtyard. Those halls were simply the 100 hall, and the 300 and 400 halls up to the stage. There were 6 trophies in the case. Staff included 16 full-time called workers, 2 parttime pastors teaching religion; 2 secretaries, 1 librarian, 2 cooks, 2 custodians and 8 bus drivers (4 also being full-time teachers).

So much change! Three major building projects. Dozens more programs—in academics, in arts and athletics, including an entire girls’ athletic program! Yet as I sit and reflect, there are also constants present over the decades. Lakeside has always been blessed with staff willing to go the extra mile. Lakeside students have always been noticeably “different” in public in the very best ways—in my school travels and activities I have witnessed it many times!

Lakeside parents have always supported their children and LLHS with their volunteer time and effort. And always, for everyone, the motivation has been their love for their Savior.

Indeed, the Lord has faithfully blessed this school for decades, spiritually and also materially.

With material blessings comes the temptation of losing our focus. The Lord reminds us in Psalm 127: 1, “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.” I am also reminded of something my good friend and former colleague, Pastor Jerry Ewings, and I have talked about. When it comes to Christian education, three elements need to be present: the blessings of our Lord, the willingness of a young person to learn and the desire and love of a teacher to teach. God is faithful. As Lakeside Lutheran moves into its seventh decade and beyond, may the Lord keep providing these elements and continue to have them predominate as they do now.

Meet our new Warrior faculty

It’s been a while since we’ve had this many new faces on campus. If you’re local, keep an eye out to welcome them. Wherever you are, we appreciate your prayers for their ministries!

Pastor Michael Helwig

teaches senior religion and has taken over organizing the “Operation Go” mission trip program. He comes from a big family and has a big family.

“I was number six of eight children. Rachel and I have five children: Sam and his wife, Maddie, are in China for a year before starting seminary; Philip is working toward a Mechanical Engineering degree at MSOE; Isaac studies Criminal Justice at UWM; Miriam is a senior at KML; and Gabriel is a freshman here at Lakeside.” His wife, Rachel has taught second grade at St. Stephen in Beaver Dam and Early Childhood at their churches. Mike served as pastor at Christ, Grand Island, Neb., for 6 years and most recently as pastor at Crown of Life, Hubertus, for 15 years. He also taught freshman Word of God at KML for one year.

Pastor H, who loves fishing, camping, reading, puzzles, playing guitar, and listening to all styles of music, is enjoying being part of the Lakeside family. “I am excited about connecting to the students with the Word of God and personally through the events of the Lakeside student life,” he says.

Nate Sievert has been in

the teaching ministry for 23 years, serving at Martin Luther, Neenah, Wis.; California Lutheran High School, Wildomar; and Grace, St. Joseph, Mich., for the past 11 years.

This year, you find him “teaching a smidge of geometry and a dab of freshman phy ed, as well as a bit of coaching basketball and track,” he says.

He and his wife, Amy, have three children: Sam (junior studying avionics at Western Mich. University), Olivia (freshman in medicine at Michigan State), and Makenzie (8th grade at St. John in Watertown, where Amy also teaches).

“We as a family enjoy the outdoors and anything that goes along with it,” Nate says. They also keep busy with their children’s athletic events, have traveled to Fort Meyers, Fla., and Black Hills, S.Dak., and cheer for the Michigan State Spartans. page 4 | Lakeside Lutheran Link | 2018 Issue 1 | llhs.org

Hannah Uher, who teaches

Freshman Science and Human Anatomy and Physiology, and coaches cross country and soccer, was born and raised in Milwaukee, where both of her parents are schoolteachers. She attended Wisconsin Lutheran High School, where she met her high school sweetheart, Eric. “We were married July 15, 2017. This past December, we both graduated from MLC with double majors.” Hannah majored in Secondary Chemistry and Life Science Education.

After graduation, they went to Beautiful Savior, Cincinnati, Ohio, where Eric was an emergency, long-term substitute. In May, Eric was assigned to Peace, Sun Prairie, as a sixth grade teacher. “Shortly after assignment day, I was placed here at Lakeside, and we could not be more excited about our new home and opportunity to serve God and his people!”

Hannah loves small group Bible studies, playing soccer and volleyball, reading, puns, drinking coffee, going to concerts, playing strategy board games, cheering on the Green Bay Packers, and eating at local restaurants.

Justin Vanderhoof, our

new English and social studies teacher, was born in Appleton, graduated from Fox Valley Lutheran in 1998 and Martin Luther College in 2003. He and his wife, Emily, were assigned to Martin Luther School, Neenah, Wis., where he served for 15 years. “I was assigned to teach 5–6th grade but through departmentalization, I taught subjects in every classroom over the years. I also served as the Athletic Director and coached basketball, and coached football at FVL for 12 years.”

He also coaches JV football and track at LLHS. He and Emily have three daughters: Madelyn (13), Noelle (10), and Hannah (8), who attend Trinity-St. Luke’s in Watertown, where Emily teaches and directs the preschool. Last year, held an especially big family adventure. “Emily is adopted from South Korea, so in the spring of 2017, we visited Seoul for a week,” he shares.

Teach me your way, Lord,

that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.

60s This year we’re celebrating the completion of 60 years under the theme “Decades of Faithfulness” with Psalm 86:11 as the prayer. As we move through our 61st school year, you’ll see flashbacks and memories that celebrate God’s goodness to us.

Jefferson County Lutheran High School (as we were called before the current site was dedicated) began in the fall of 1958 with a freshmen class and added one each year after. Lois (Roekle ‘62) Sonntag was in that first class.

“I was so thankful for being part of the first class of Lakeside. The thought of going to a large high school was very frightening to me,” she says. After graduation, she attended Dr. Martin Luther College and then taught for two years at Zion Lutheran School, Rhinelander, Wis. She and pastor husband, Lyle “Duke”, have served in several locations in Arizona and California. They have four sons who were born while they lived in Bylas, Ariz., on the San Carlos Indian Reservation.

They have eight grandchildren, four in Phoenix and four in Wisconsin.

“My life is pretty simple now. I lead a Bible Class every other week, drive grandchildren where they need, and go with Duke when he preaches in congregations around the state,” she says.

Karen (Sievert ‘63) Miller was in the second graduating class. “Our class designed the LL seal!

We met in the old St. Paul’s school where I

had attended for my grade school years,” she says.

She remembers that when she started there were only two classes—freshmen and sophomore— and they were close.

“It was wonderful!

I remember hayrides and roller skating parties, and the Halloween party where Miss (Ruth) Born recited something very spooky,” she says. “It was just a very special experience attending the early years at Lakeside.”

Her favorite teachers were Marion Stuhr, Ruth Born, and Lloyd Huebner. “They were all so tuned in to high school students and our needs,” she says.

Kathy (Lee ‘66) Voss began classes at the new school. “I did not live in the Lakeside area, and Principal Lloyd Huebner found a family I could live with,” she says. “The new school was absolutely amazing. As students, we were taught to take extraordinary care of every component in that school. Fellow believers and hundreds of volunteers had made the building a reality for us. It was a gift to us, and we were to responsibly care for it.” She toured the school in June 2018 and noticed “everything was in impeccable shape. The tradition of responsible care and fabulous caretakers has gone on!”

She fondly recalls that for any event, the gym was full, whether concert, play, sports, or a party. “Home or away, a distance or not, made no difference—we had such strong support in the young and the old,” she shares.

She appreciates how “Lakeside built a solid religious education for its students. As we were only teenagers, we were not aware of how knowing our Savior would continually impact our lives,” she says. “The single most important part of Lakeside for me was watching thousands of people who supported Lakeside live their faith.”

After graduation, Kathy attended 2-yr.

Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, Minn., and then earned a degree in behavioral disabilities/special education from UW-Madison. She taught in WELS for five years and in public schools for 21 years. She and husband, Ron, have lived in Baraboo, Wis., almost 40 years and are now retired. They enjoy life with three children— Gretchen, Paul, and Ellen—and eight grandchildren, four boys & four girls.

Relationships built back then continue to thrive. As a high schoolers, Kathy lived with the Harvey Froemming family of Jefferson, “charter members who helped Lakeside happen,” she says. She and Agnes Froemming (soon turning 100) are still in touch and Kathy makes the drive to visit every 4–6 weeks.

“So, my Lakeside days have continued! It’s a great story!” We couldn’t agree more.

Champions of ‘92

I remember

—Pastor Jim Buske ‘93

After celebrating three WIAA sports state championships in 2017–18 (volleyball, individual golf, and boys high jump), we decided to revisit another championship sports team—the 1992 Cross Country Wisconsin Independent Schools Athletic Association state champs.

Team members Jon Draeger, at left, and Jim Buske (see right) navigate a challenging uphill section of the ‘92 course.

expand my network beyond my local city,” Koenig says.

1992 WISAA state boys cross country champs

2017–18: A Year for Championships

After the 2017 volleyball team won the WIAA D2 state championship in edge-of-your-seat style last October, the 2018 spring sports season at LLHS followed its example with two historic individual champions, in boys golf and in track and field: • Lukas Heckmann, a ‘17–18 junior from St. Andrew, Middleton, shot a 72 to win the Platteville Sectional for boys golf. He then captured the WIAA D2 individual state championship at The Oaks, shooting a second-round 79 after a 4-under-par 68 the first day. He was named both 2018 Capitol Conference and Madison All-Area Golf Player of the Year.

• Collin Schulz, a ‘17-18 sophomore from Bethany, Fort Atkinson, took the WIAA D2 title in high jump with a jump of 6’6. Earlier in the year, he broke the school record when he jumped 6’9.

A

t the 1992 state race, “The temperatures were in the 30s and the referee said we could wear whatever we wanted,” team member Brad Koenig ‘93 recalls. “Some people wore tights and gloves. We decided as a team that we were going to wear shorts.”

Jim Buske ‘93 remembers warming up “in the blue warm-ups and hearing other teams say, ‘Hey, there is Lakeside.’ That’s something we did at state the previous years with Stevens Point Pacelli or St. Mary’s. But 1992—that was our year to represent LLHS and our Savior!”

The Warriors ran fast—maybe because they were cold. Bart Gurgel ‘93 placed first and Jon Draeger ‘94 took second. They ran so fast that had they raced Division I and not II, they still would have taken first. According to Coach Walta, it’s a record they hold to this day—best combined time for the top five runners at a state competition.

Not only were they state champs, but that year they were undefeated. Koenig says, “in many of our meets, we had all seven varsity runners in the top 15. Our team was great—we all worked hard and bonded together.” But it wasn’t only about getting closer to as a team, “I always enjoyed meeting kids from different cities. I think that has helped me to

Brad ended up receiving a business degree from Concordia University–Wisconsin and is now a realtor. He still runs. In fact, his nickname is “Running Realtor” because he participates in ultra races that are 25-50 miles long. He and his wife, Cheryl, have three children, two now at Lakeside: Hannah, a junior, and Hailey, a freshman.

Jim Buske is a pastor and the Executive Director of Lighthouse Youth Center in Milwaukee. He and his wife, Terry (Berg ‘94), have four children. After seeing the team photo again, he reflects, “I think most would agree that LLHS provided each of us with a Christ-centered focus—not for me, but for Him.” He noticed the example set by faculty: “Mr. Walta and every other teacher at LLHS were servant leaders.”

As Lakeside taught an others-focus mindset and provided a family setting, he is thankful that LLHS was “always bringing it back to the basics—God, faith, family!”

»» I remember this team being quiet, confident leaders. (I am sure I was obnoxious and Farmer was a rebel.) »» I remember—though we were varsity—we made every team member feel valued and important—men and women. »» I remember starting every race in a group prayer. »» I remember meeting in the woods with varsity members setting our next race goals. »» I remember the encouragement from Mr. Walta— a solid Christian man who had high expectations (without being a taskmaster). »» I remember training in the summer (when sports weren’t year-round or three-night-a-week clubs). »» I remember the feast of homemade food that happened after every meet! »» I remember driving to Parkside the week before the state meet with Bart and Farmer and running the course. (Farmer drove. He played Metallica the whole way. We almost died when he merged lanes by the MKE airport. Thank you for angels.) »» I remember every minute at Parkside—warm up, prayer, the race, finishing, adding our top 5 and knowing we won. »» I remember the circle of prayer when we thanked God for the win! »» I remember a perfect season—we were 119-0. Not one team at any level or meet beat us that year. »» I remember Bart and my taking our team’s state finish times and plugging them into every division (public and private), knowing we would have won at any level.

Brad “Running Realtor” Koenig continues to run competitively.

»» I remember toilet papering Mr. Walta’s house back when “innocent” vandalism was somewhat accepted. »» I don’t remember firetrucks, or cop cars, or a parade welcoming us back.

Sorry, guys! –Eds.
