Chapel on the afternoon
of November 5 offered
something different
to the assembled
students and faculty. Two of LCHS’s
seniors, Monica
Brown
and
McKaylah Lenihan,
delivered their senior chapels. The
topic for McKaylah’s chapel was friendship. She outlined three categories of
traits that will lead to an
enduring friendship. These
are traits of integrity, of
caring, and of compatibility. She emphasized the
importance of friendships
in the lives of believers,
citing scriptures from Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 and Hebrews 10:24.
These passages speak to
how
God
brings people
into our lives
to strengthen
us.
Friends
can be a great
influence on us, helping us
in our walk
with Christ.
M o n i c a
spoke on focus. She emphasized Philippians 4:8,
which gives a list of criteria
for that which is worthy of
Are You Thankful?
School here at LCHS will
be dismissed early
Wednesday, November 25,
for the
celebration of
Thanksgiving.
This can be a great time to
focus. She emphasized that
all these attributes can be
found in God’s word, The
Bible. She encouraged all
of us to read the Word
regularly and pray often.
Only then will we have the
criterion to discern what is
worthy of focus. Thank
you, seniors, for sharing
your insights with us.

Evan Bartel kicked
off chapel on
Thursday the 12th
with the tragic tale
of Henry Gunther
the last soldier to
be killed in World War 1,

stay home and relax, eat
some food and spend time
with family, but what is
Thanksgiving really
about?
Thanksgiving
came around in
1621 when the
Plymouth colonists and
Wampanoag Indians
shared a meal together.
The Colonists used the
time to praise the Lord and
thank him for all his blessings. It wasn’t until 1863
that Thanksgiving was recognized as a national holi(See Thanksgiving page 2)
Chapel
(Continued from page 1)
“Finally,
brethren, whatever is true,
whatever is honorable,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever
is lovely, whatever is of
good repute, if there is any
excellence and if anything
worthy of praise, dwell on
these things.”
Philippians 4:8 (NASB)
one minute before the war
ended.
Evan
told everyone
that
Gunther
died rushing a
German position by himself.
Even though he
knew the war
was about to
end he wanted to prove himself and, blinded by his pride,
he ran to his death. Evan
then compared this story to
the Israelites of the Old Testament who were constantly
rebelling against God who
kept giving them grace. Even
though we all struggle with
pride God, and God
alone gives us grace.
Evan concluded by
having everyone sing
“In Christ Alone”.
N e x t
Jacques
spoke
on
the topic of
what it means to
be a Christian. He
explained that the
word Christian is
defined differently
by different people, some
have a positive definition but
others have a negative one.
The word Christian is found
only three times in the Bible
a name given by outsiders to
Jesus’s disciples. Jacques said
that anyone can do anything
in the name “Christian”. So
it is better to be
God’s disciple but
not many people call
themselves a disciple.
Jacques ended by
saying it is better to
be a disciple than just
a Christian and asked
everyone “Are we
disciples?”
be careful not to forget the
true meaning of Thanksgiving, to thank God for his
blessings. With the commercials on television and “Black
Friday” looming around the
corner, it would be easy to
forget. However, God reminds us to: “Give thanks to
the Lord for he is good; his
love endures forever.” 1
Chronicles 16:34 (NIV)
May you and your family
always remember to give
thanks on this day.

day by Abraham Lincoln in
the midst of the civil war.
These days, Thanksgiving is
celebrated by many people in
the U.S. Many people celebrate by spending time with
family and eating tasty food.
Even so, people must always

Celebrating Lustre Homesteads
This coming July 4th is the
100-year homestead celebration in Lustre. In honor of
this occasion, we are interviewing people currently living on the original homesteads over the remainder of
the school year.
The first interview was
with Mr. Henry Ortmann
whose full name is Heinrick
H. Ortmann. He is the father
of Lustre’s very own Sam
Ortmann. Henry’s father
originally settled in the area
in 1916 and lived as a bachelor until 1926. At that time
he married Elizabeth
Redekopp. Henry was born
to the couple on November
23, 1938.
From his childhood, he
clearly remembers milking
and feeding cows as well as
selling cream when he was
younger. He also remembers
eating Borscht soup with
cabbage and vegetables and,
sometimes, chicken. The
toys he most remembers are
a little toy Caterpillar tractor
and a jigsaw puzzle.
When asked if he recalled the
Cuban missile crisis, he did,
and said that no one in his
family fought in World War
II.
Even though he took over
the farm at the age of 14,
after his dad had a stroke, he
still enjoyed hunting and
playing basketball in his
By: MacKenzie Teichroew
spare time. He says he remembers listening to the
Lone Ranger and the Old
Fashion Hour with Charles
Fuller on the family’s battery
operated radio because they
had no television set.
Henry still lives on the land
where his father settled, although the original house is
gone now. We’re grateful
for the time he gave for this
interview and for the view of
local history he’s provided.
Keep him in prayer in the
days and months ahead as
we all look forward to celebrating this centennial milestone with him and many
others.
Coach Says Exciting Season Ahead
Basketball season is already
here! Coaches have been preparing and getting ready to
start up the season with intensity. When asked what the
goals are for this basketball
season for the Lady Lions,
Coach Orr said they are to
continue building the girls’
basketball program, compete
with both JV and Varsity,
and reach divisional. Some
things he wants to focus on
are to build team chemistry,
team hustle and intensity,
and to work on each player
having the desire and confidence to win. As the coach,
he says that the exciting
thing about this season is,
first of all, the great turn out.
There are a lot of players this
By: McKaylah Lenihan
year, which is always a good
thing. Another thing to be
excited about are the prospects of great Lustre Lady
Lion teams this year and into
the future. As basketball season is starting up, coaches
and players will be working
hard to make this season a
great one.
