mission Motivated by the love of Jesus, Lakeside Lutheran High School partners with families to educate, encourage, and equip students for life and for eternity. about our federation
Dear Forever Warriors, Last May, 111 seniors graduated, pushing the pool of Forever Warriors to nearly 5,000. God is so faithful, and we are so blessed. Because every one of our Forever Warriors matter, our number one goal is to stay connected. We want to provide lifelong opportunities for Forever Warriors to engage and connect with Lakeside after graduation by building our relationships through communications, events, and other areas of involvement. A little over eighteen months ago, our Alumni Executive Committee (AEC) was formed. Our job is to advance Lakeside’s mission by cultivating and sustaining lasting relationships between alumni and LLHS. We meet quarterly to discuss fun ways to engage, communicate, involve, and acknowledge alum. We are excited about what’s coming up. If you are interested in participating in the AEC or have ideas to share, please contact me (jmeyer@llhs.org) or one of the current AEC members: Stef (Gronholz ‘09) Wrasse at stef.wrasse@gmail.com, Kyle Fax (‘08) at kyle.fax@divinesavioracademy.com, Tammy (Zastrow ‘86) Iglesias at tammyiglesias67@gmail.com and Tina (Nell ‘83) Ulrich at tucoach@charter.net. We LOVE to hear from you! Did you get married? Have a baby? Have an accomplishment that you would like to share? Did you move? We want to know. Stay in touch! Update us online at llhs.orgupdate-us or email me directly. We invite you back to campus! Come for a home sporting event, a concert or our spring play. Join us for events like Alum Zone and the Grand Event and encourage other Forever Warriors to join you. Remember...Once a Warrior, Always a Warrior!

Alum Feature:
a slam-dunk opportunity!
When David Luehring (‘14) was offered an internship with the Milwaukee Bucks shortly after graduation from Bethany Lutheran College in May 2018, he couldn’t pass it up. “I was applying all over the country for jobs,” he says. “I settled on the Bucks because it was close to home and a good stepping stone to working full-time in sports.” What does a Bucks intern do? “As a video intern, I was responsible for filming and editing much of the content that goes out on the Bucks social media channels. From simple highlight videos, to community relations recaps, and full on cinematic mini movies, I was a part of it all.
the crowd could get right before the tip. It was a really cool experience.”
Check out his Road to the Playoffs video at bit.ly/2n2RjKk
Career advice? For a student looking to get into the videography world, Luehring recommends: “Get inspired! Find something you are passionate about, and suddenly the videos will be easier to make.” __________________________________ Career goals Work for a major sports broadcasting company such as ESPN or Fox Sports
Fave player? “My favorite player, as most would guess, is Giannis Antetokounmpo. He’s just a fun guy to be around at various events. He’s always happy and enjoying the moment, plus he’s REALLY good at basketball.”
“I was surprised with how involved they allowed me to be. I was able to work on some of the biggest marketing pieces of the year. From day one, I was involved with great projects like: jersey releases, behind the scenes coverage, The Road to Playoffs, and a personal video that was used in Khris Middleton’s contract negotiations.” What’s it like on the other side of the camera? “My favorite memory of working with the team comes from the playoffs. It was always an amazing atmosphere. We would always film on the floor during game intros up until the tip off. It was always amazing how deafeningly loud
How’d you get started? Mr. Hackbarth’s videography class was the spark that started it all. “I was a teenager who didn’t really know what profession I wanted to get into. Then my senior year, I took the videography class, and was hooked. Advised by Mr. Hackbarth, I ended up studying Media Arts at Bethany Lutheran College, and the rest is history.” Fave Lakeside memory? Luehring was active in cross country, track, A Cappella choir, and band. “I have great memories from Lakeside.” He notes that “kinda spearheading the student section ‘heads’ craze in 2014 was one of my favorites.” >> Next step? “As the internship ends this fall, I will be moving on and looking for other opportunities in media and video fields.”
Other video experience Luehring worked Maverick Hockey Weekend, an event of Minnesota State University Division 1 Men’s Hockey, where he gained “real-world” experience as a camera operator, technical director and video editor. He also continued to be a part of video production working with KTV, the Mankato public access channel run and managed by the production studio at Bethany Lutheran College. In fall of 2017, his senior year at Bethany, he interned at Reach Records, a music label in Atlanta that focuses on Christian rap and hip-hop. He worked with the label’s social media and e-mail campaigns, made promotional videos, animated gifs, boomerangs for instagram, and other assorted graphics.

First LLHS graduating class a grateful reunion by Jenny Lescohier, reprinted permission of Daily Union see full online story at bit.ly/2mlJIXs
For many, it’s hard to imagine getting together with people from school 57 years ago, but for Lakeside’s class of 1962, it’s both timelessly poignant and as familiar as yesterday. In July, about two-dozen alumni gathered for a reunion at St. Paul in Fort Atkinson, the first site of the Darrell Krause, Tom Witte school. That school has been razed, but those who attended haven’t forgotten the lessons—and even the good-natured hijinks—they shared together. The students appreciated the opportunity this new school brought. Tom Baker recalled wanting to continue his faith-based education past grade school, but his parents weren’t able to afford it. “I lived in Fort and wanted to go to Lakeside, but my dad said ‘no,’” he remembered. “Finally, he said if I could make my own tuition, I could go. So I raised strawberries to make the money.”
From the first principal’s pen
Prof. Lloyd Huebner, now 94, was called to serve as first principal. He wasn’t able to make it to the reunion due to healthrelated limitations, but he and wife Inez were there in spirit and in the hearts of the students he taught.
“We had 41 freshmen in 1958,” Huebner recalled. “The plan was to add more each year, and I was to be the principal and teacher. And I taught everything . . . math, science, English and religion. I was also pastor of the school.” It wasn’t long before the school moved to its current site in Lake Mills, where it was renamed Lakeside Lutheran High School. Classes began being taught in that building in 1963. “I appreciated working with and teaching high school-age kids,” he explained. “It was always gratifying to teach them the importance of God’s word. Parochial school was common for gradeschool students in those days, but there was nothing in the area beyond that. I’m glad we were able to offer that opportunity to young adults.” page 6 | Lakeside Lutheran Link | 2019 Issue 2 | llhs.org
He continued: “Prof. Huebner was like a father to me. He was always very positive. He encouraged me to take Latin—when I could hardly speak English!—but he helped me and I did pass, because of him. He taught us four years of religion, and I still try to read scripture every day. Religion was the only class I ever got A’s in. I really enjoyed going to Lakeside, and my son went there, too.” Terry Gueldner, master of ceremonies for the reunion, said he’s grateful he and his classmates were given a choice of high schools. “We prayed about it a lot, made a choice and we haven’t regretted it since,” he said. Others remembered some of the good-natured pranks they played, common among high school students everywhere. Mary Anne (Froemming) Kunz, for example, relayed how one Christmas, a bunch of students decided to decorate the school bus windows with pine tree boughs. “Afterward, we got called into Prof. Huebner’s office and you could tell he wanted to laugh while he scolded us,” she said. “He told us it was not a good choice.” “We got into some trouble,” Roger Lemke recalled with a chuckle. “There was that one time a bunch of us broke into the kitchen in the basement of the old school and tried to see who could get the most eggs into the band’s tuba. Someone ratted us out; I’m not sure who.” But Huebner was wise and kind while finding those “teachable moments.” “He told us to ‘always look at the sunrise,’” Lemke recalled.

Fave HoCo memory?
Homecoming 2019
Amy (Eigenschink ‘88) Slattery (far right ) «
It was sophomore or junior year (Class of ‘88...help me out!) and the Sesame Street theme. I was on the float committee and we built a giant Mr. Snuffleupagus out of chicken wire on top of a trailer in Mr. Gulczynski’s garage. After a week or two of work, we ran out of tissue paper stuffing with a partially bald Snuffy...although, that was a good thing when it was time to move him out of the garage...he was too tall and rubbed the top of the garage door. We ended up buying brown rugs to throw across the top of his body!

What do you love about HoCo?Katrina (Krakow ‘03) Meinel:
Homecoming was always fun, but it got REALLY fun after I graduated! Not only does dear ol’ Lakeside feed my family, but they offer prizes, hand out goodies, and treat us like...well, like we’ve come home. Alum Zone is the place to celebrate homecoming, see old friends, and meet new ones.

Rebecca (Zastrow ‘95) Neumann (far right ):
I love Alum Zone for many reasons! It’s a fun space to come and gather in our own space, reconnect with people who attended LLHS who may not have kids here and meet up with those whose kiddos are soon to come here. It’s always fun to reminisce and laugh about the “good ol’ days” as well!
