Team Support Improves A promising season for basketball helped the cheerleaders to capture a glowing spirit after a cold football record. Early games drew large crowds, but as the year wore on student enthusiasm suffered occasional lags while rebounding at the Beresford and Parker games. Besides entertaining spectators, the cheerleaders earned money for uniforms by selling mums for homecoming and serving food at a tournament.

School News Switches to Local Paper A drastic change of format moved the school news into the local paper. The move was made because of rising postage and paper costs, and meant the death of the traditional DAKOTA. Publishing the student news in the Union meant a drop in the need of repor- ters and staff members. Editor Becky Cooper assigned the stories off the best sheet to a handful of reporters each week, and the feature editors compiled the senior interviews. After the stories were checked by advisor Mr. Melvin Ptak and the ad- ministration, the news was taken down- town and became the responsibility of the city paper. In the fall the 1973-1975 DAKOTA re- ceived a First-Class Rating at the annual SDHSJA Press Conference at SDSU. ABOVE: Loree Stubbs and Frances Reppe inter- viewed Seniors for human interest stories.
