From the President’s Desk…………….. Hello Logan Alumni and Friends,

I‟m Jane Molstad, your new Alumni Association President for 2010-2011. Those of you who

attended Logan from 1971-2002 probably know who I am. Although I‟m not a Logan graduate, I

did spend 31 years in the halls (and gyms) of both Logan High School buildings and am now a

Ranger Faculty Alumnus. My husband and three sons are also Logan Alumni.

I‟d like to thank Ron Payne for the great job he did as last year‟s president and I will look to him

for advice over the coming year. I also would like to praise Dave Turk, Nancy Casper, and Dan

Wilhelm for the job they did as officers as well, and am pleased to have Dan returning as treasurer.

There have been some changes in the Board as well. Thanks to Nicole Friell, Ken Garves, Heath

Graves, Carol Lunke, Tom Weis, and Betty Woodruff for all their hard work during their terms.

Stepping up to replace them will be Dave Bartlett, Dick Cagle, Dianah Colburn, Dixie

Fladhammer, Judy Seifert, and Karen Wozney.

I don‟t want to forget the returning board members who have already played a huge role in support-

ing Logan and are continuing as members for another year or two. Thanks to Jim Berg, Joe Bond,

Nancy Casper, Dana Gibbons, Geri Guy, Linda Himmel, Joe Maier, Doug Martin, Nancy

McMullin, Scott Mihalovic, Pat Nelson, Ron Payne, Nancy Proctor, Bruce Radde, Dave Turk and

Dan Wilhelm. Feel free to contact any of us with your ideas and concerns about the organization.

I know I speak for all of the board members when I say we are extremely pleased that the Alumni

Scholarship recipients have grown from four in 1999 to nine in 2010, as well as five more made

possible by generous alumni—and the value of each scholarship has steadily increased! Although

the proceeds from the Ranger Rally were lower this year, memberships, donations, and memorials

continue to fuel the scholarship growth. Thanks to all of you for supporting Ranger Grads and

Logan High School. I‟m looking forward to the next year as your Alumni Association president.

AND…………… IT’S STILL A GREAT DAY TO BE A RANGER!

THE WINNING

BUTTON …………

Runners Up:

Sawyer Hey and Jake Sullivan

……..was designed by Alex Payne

Onward Logan !

Thanks to all of you for your artistic

talent and hard work!

How do we measure the success of the Ranger Rally? This year we offered all of the same events and prizes as we have

in the past with some very happy prize recipients. The winner of the truck was in dire need of decent transportation and

the winner of the ladies ring is a faithful supporter of Ranger Rally since its inception (stories on p.7). It is exciting for

the board to know that we make a difference in peoples‟ lives

Ranger Rally attendees find it a great opportunity to renew friendships and have a fun time. This year attendance was

down, costs were up, but the income from the event was enough to cover the costs and we were again able to add to the

endowment fund for the scholarships we provide.

The board is concerned about the decline in participation and income and is reviewing the future of Ranger Rally. We

are interested in continuing to make this event a rewarding and profitable venue and would appreciate your suggestions/

comments/thoughts on the continuation of the Rally. The tentative date for Ranger Rally 2011 is Saturday, June 11,

pending board approval at the November 15 meeting. Please send your response to me before the November meeting

via e-mail: dturk@ beaverbuilderssupply.com. Slight changes to Ranger Rally have been made over the years and we

may need to make further changes, so your input would be much appreciated

The bottom line is to serve you, the alumni and friends, as a leader in maintaining your connection to Logan and to

continue to provide scholarships for Logan students. We would like to again thank all of our supporters and sponsors,

and ask for your continued support in making Logan High School the best of the best.

We would like to extend a very special THANK YOU to Dianne Gebhart and Nels Aakre, retired Logan faculty, who were

at Fox Hollow, and wandered the grounds at Ranger Rally all day/night long and took so many great pictures.

Twila was just thrilled with her beautiful ring. We asked her to

send us a short bio, and she sent us an account of her life story,

from her time at Logan till now, at 90 years of age.

Carrie works for the DNR and rotates working from the service cen-

ter in Rhinelander and the service center in Baldwin. Because of all

this driving, her 1993 Toyota truck had accumulated 273, 000

miles around the time of the Rally. "Yota" was getting pretty worn

down with all the traveling, so Carrie was really hoping some bit of

good fortune would come her way to replace the truck , but she never

thought something like this would happen! As fate would have it,

she got a new truck! Here‟s what Carrie had to say:

“I still can‟t believe I won! I have never won anything this big

before! I currently work for the Department of Natural Resources as

a Water Management Specialist where I regulate and issue permits

for projects along navigable waterways and wetlands . I am assigned

to 6 counties, which keeps me quite busy. With all the driving I do,

my new truck now has almost 8,000 miles on it. I love the color, and

it gets 30mpg! It runs and handles great and has all the options I like

in a vehicle--especially the Sirius Radio, which I plan to subscribe to

after the 6-month trial offer ends. I would also like to add; the

education I received at Logan really prepared me for college and

beyond. Logan has a lot of great teachers such as Mr. Thienes

(Chemistry), Mr. Myra (Biology), Mr. Keller (Music), and Ms.

Gebhart (IMC), just to name a few, which really helped me achieve

my goals and develop good lifelong learning habits. Thanks to all of

you! On a personal note: I have a small farm just outside of Eagle

River in Sugar Camp where I live with my two horses. I enjoy trail

riding, playing hockey, running in 5K races and hunting. I went

turkey hunting for the first time this spring and got a turkey and the

decoy with a single shot! Regretfully, I did not make it to my 30th

class reunion due to other obligations, but plan to attend next year‟s

Ranger Rally!

Carrie

I am a native of South Dakota, but was raised and schooled in

Wisconsin. I left elementary school and was “dropped‟ into a

class at Logan High School for what would now be known as

Middle School. I have no idea if schools were crowded in 1932,

but there we were. You can imagine a group of one-room class

students being placed in a high school routine. We were the enter-

tainment of the upper classmates. Always in a panic mode, run-

ning from class to class, floor to floor, while carrying every book

we thought we would need before the final bell. Two years later,

all settled into the routine, we entered high school. I look back on

that as our survival period. Four years later, we were accepting

each and every congratulation as we graduated in January, 1938.

As I grew older, my school years had more meaning. It was no

longer class by class, and subject by subject that crammed my

mind, but was the overall “growing up.” I married and had a son

the year before Pearl Harbor. A daughter came along at the end of

the war. We moved to Washington state for employment and fol-

lowed the construction of irrigation dams and canals. My educa-

tion expanded with that life as we lived in company housing

among families from all over the country. Ideas, attitudes, and

conversing with people of other dialects/cultures proved how iso-

lated I had been. When the children were well established at

school I took a civil service exam and hired on as a postal clerk. I

left the job as postal clerk when we moved to California. I worked

for the next ten years for a physician who had just opened his pri-

vate practice He contracted cancer, passed away, and the business

was shut down. I then hired on as office manager for a medical

clinic where I worked until I retired. In 1979, my husband retired

and wanted to move to a good fishing spot so we moved to Cres-

cent City, a small logging and fishing town in northern California.

I joined the hospital volunteers which keeps me busy to this day.

At 90 years of age, I remain mentally alert, I think, but depend on

a wheelchair for ambulation. I suffer no pain and am able to

freely volunteer. My husband passed away several years ago. I

continue to live alone, but with my two children freely giving ad-

vice. The worm turns. I hear much of the same things that I told

them years ago.

LOGAN HIGH ALUMMNI ASSOCIATION SCHOLARSHIPS The Alumni Board is pleased to report on its Perpetual Scholarship Fund. The fund is managed by Dustin Cunningham at Trust Point

(formerly North Central Trust). The funds are invested in a diversified portfolio.

The earnings from the Perpetual Scholarship Fund will fund scholarships for Logan High School graduates who are going on to some

form of higher education. This fund has been established and is managed so it will provide scholarship funds for Logan students as long

as Logan exists.

The fund value has risen consistently since its inception thanks to friends and alumni of Logan High. The 8th Annual Ranger Rally and

the many new alumni and friends that joined as members allowed the Board to also invest another $10,000 to this fund. These contribu-

tions and the interest from our previous investments bring the fund total to $316,484.17 as of Oct 15, 2010.

Because of the increasing cost of post-high school education, one of the most important goals

of the Logan Alumni Association is to support the continued education of Logan students.

Thank you for all the support for this endeavor from the alumni, friends, and Logan family.

How many people can say they have worked their entire life at one place? Pat Mulrooney can. After 35 years of

teaching service to Logan High School, Pat retired at the conclusion of the 2009-2010 school year. Over the

course of his career, he became the embodiment of Ranger spirit and pride, both in the classroom and on the

track. His dedication to our school spanned two high school buildings and two generations of students. His

career is worth a look back.

Patrick (Pat) Mulrooney was born and raised in Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin. His father, John, served as the

Superintendant of Schools, while his mother, Glee, stayed at home raising Pat, his brother, and three sisters. Pat

was an excellent student and a natural athlete in high school. It was his size, however, that led to one of Pat‟s

greatest lucky breaks. During his sophomore year, Pat, who was small for his age, took a big hit on the football

field. To avoid crippling injuries, Pat decided to switch to cross country. He‟s been running ever since.

After graduation in 1967 from Prairie du Chien, Pat ran up the river to La Crosse to attend college at UW-L. He

earned a degree in Political Science and Health and became captain of the cross country team. Following gradua-

tion from college, Pat found his permanent home on the North Side of La Crosse. “It was one of the great privi-

leges of my career to work at both buildings,” said Pat, reminiscing on his time as educator for Logan High

School. “You could really connect the old with the new.” Pat‟s long tenure at Logan included teaching sections

of U.S. History and Economics, but Mr. Mulrooney is most known for teaching Government. Being in Pat‟s

Government class became a rite of passage for generations of Logan kids. His exploits inside Logan are equaled,

though, by his successes outside on the track. Over the course of 37 years as a cross country coach and 21 years as

a Track coach (he continues to serve as a coach in both sports today), Pat has seen state champions crowned and

helped countless athletes reach their potential. One highlight in particular, is his 1989 cross country team that took

second place in the state, losing to the champion by only two points.

When asked what the greatest part of spending 35 years at Logan was, Mr. Mulrooney said, “Making connections

with so many wonderful people, both students and staff.” This year, Pat kicked off his first year of “retirement”

with a surprise speech to the entire student body on opening day. Since then, he has been spotted around school

working on cross country as early as 6:00 AM. There is no doubt that all who have known Pat are equally grateful

for the opportunity to “connect” with him. He‟s part of our family…the Logan family.

David Bartlett I graduated from Logan in 1964. My wife, Sue, teaches at Sparta Jr. High School. I have one son, Matthew, age 27, who lives in La Crosse, and one daughter, Katie, age 29, who lives in Chicago. I retired from Trane Company in 2005. My hobbies include golfing, hunting and fishing.

Dick Cagle I went into the US Navy right after graduating from Logan High School in 1958. After serving 22 years I retired in 1980 as a QMC(SS). I was the Assistant Navigator aboard nuclear submarines. Most of my service was spent aboard submarines; starting out in the older WWII diesel submarines, and progressing to the nuclear subs as I neared retirement. The highlight of my time in the Navy was as Associate Professor of Naval Science at Villanova University NROTC, Villanova, PA. After Naval service, I started work at the La Crosse County Sheriff's Department. Most of my administrative duties were as court officer and jail officer. I was the first ap-pointed Huber Law officer for the County. I retired from La Crosse County in 1996. My wife, Darlene (Ellis), who graduated from Logan in 1959, and I travel the U.S., Canada, and parts of Mexico. We spend most of our winters in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas and return to La Crosse in the spring. We very much enjoy Logan's annual Ranger Rally and have volunteered over the years. What we enjoy most is seeing the students from the years before and after we graduated that we wouldn’t see at class reunions. We have four children that are also Logan grads and they plan their “homecomings” around the Ranger Rally.

Dianah Colburn I am a 1992 graduate of Logan. My husband , Mark, graduated in 1989. We have a hobby farm in rural

Galesville, Wisconsin, and enjoy spending time with our three dogs and two horses. I have worked for the past

eleven years as an Administrative Services Coordinator for J.F. Brennan Co., Inc. My interests include, read-

ing, shopping, outdoor activities, traveling, photography, crafts, decorating, and spending time with family and

friends.

Dixie Fladhammer I graduated from Logan in 1965. I married Tim Fladhammer who taught in the La Crosse School District for 34

years before retiring in 2000. We have lived in the West Salem area for the past 40 years. We have two chil-

dren; daughter, Shelayne Dunn, who is an LMC director for the La Crosse School District, and son, Scott, who

is an engineer for Assist Technology in Kenosha. We have five wonderful grandchildren. I worked for fifteen

years as an Interior Decorator, and the past twenty years as a Safety & Environmental Administrator for Cen-

turytel/Centurylink. I loved my job but it did require a lot of travel by car or by air. I retired March 1st of this

year and my husband and I are enjoying our retirement and traveling. I love to dance, laugh, and have fun

spending time with family and friends.

Judy Seifert I graduated from La Crescent High School in 1964. I retired from the Fleming Company and am now working part time at the Onalaska Culvers. I have two sons and four granddaughters.
