Elementary Luroth theorem proof?

Hi, everyone!

I'm trying to explain the proof of Luroth theorem (every field $L$, s.t. $K\subset L\subset K(t)$, is isomorphic to $K(t)$) to the high-school audience. I'm not going to use such methods as algebraic extensions and complex analysis. Is there any way to prove this fact with only elementary methods?
