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.

Trademarks” formed the foundation for building the 1975 Cubette, The theme, conceived by Randy Medema, was selected in a contest after students submitted many interesting possibilities. Advised by Mr. Alan Hall, the staff spent uncounted hours struggling to meet the three deadlines. Editor Kay Hendricks retouched stories and shifted pictures, searching for the memorable moments of the year looking for the trademarks that separated students into individuals. At the press conference in Brookings, the 1974 Cubette received a First Class rating. RIGHT: Editors work hard on pages.

Improve Yourself! Collecting tin cans, attending meetings, and wearing pins earned points for the FHA members, under their new point sys- tem. At the year’s end the top ten girls were rewarded with a dinner. The Future Homemakers of America worked together with Mrs. Virginia Eric- son to aid the community while promoting home economics. Project for the year was Self - Im provement. A White Elephant silent auction strengthened the scholarship fund, and assisting in the FFA's paper drives brought in more money.
