De Smet High School and Auditorium THE BULLDOG Published by THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1965 De Smet High School Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary School and Armory DEDICA T ION In gratitude, we. the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-Five, dedicate our Annual to Mr. Russell Monroe. During the past two years he has been a great influence on each of us students. He has taught American History, American Government, Econ- omics, and is also the “B” Basketball coach and our Track Coach. We feel that what he has done for us, these past years, will be of value throughout our lives.

H. A. Annual Report The De Smet F. H. A. Chapter has finally brought to an end a busy year. The F. F. A. and F. H. A. Chapters decided to have lunch and recreation together after each monthly meeting. At our November meeting we had a “Daddy Date Night with recreation following the meeting. In February we sponsored a Sweetheart’s Ball at which Brenda Albrecht was chosen as Miss Sweet- heart and Marvin Farr as Mr. Irresistible. In March we had a “Mother’s Basket Social” with a program, lunch and recreation following the meeting. March 22 was the date of the Region IV F. H. A. Convention at Lake Preston. Our chapter was in charge of making stage decorations to carry out the theme “F. H. A. Strengthens You. Our chapter took an active part in National F. H. A. Week, April 4-10. Campaign speeches and election of officers took place at our April meeting. The highlight of the May meeting was installation of the new officers and the end of a successful F. H. A. year.

These tests will give the Fresh- men an indication of their stage of educational development and their abilities at this point in their education. For the Juniors it is an opportunity to determine wheth- er or not there has been an upward trend in their own growth. Some of the features of the Iowa tests are: 1. The student is compared with tens of thousands of students throughout the country. 2. The tests measure the same fundamental skills on abil- ities for all students. 3. They measure general abil- ities that are important for all students all of the time. 4. The scores of the student are completely objective. 5. Most of the Iowa tests measure general abilities that are developed outside the classroom as well as in. The Iowa tests measure four of what might be called the funa- mentals of general education. 1. The ability to understand and use the English language. 2. The ability to do practical everyday arithmetic reasoning. 3. Knowledge of the principal of the natural science and ability to think straight about common scientific matters. 4. Knowledge of the principles of the social science and ability to think straight about common social problems. Initial Appearance Of School Band Made at State Fair A band of 50 pieces, with Jim Wika as drum major, made an appearance at the South Dakota State Fair Tuesday on invitation of the fair board, playing three concerts. William Winkle is the new fac- ulty member director. The band left De Smet by bus at 9:30, played 15-minute concerts at 11:30, 12:00 and 12.30, each at a different location on the grounds at Huron. The band members attended the grandstand show free of charge, seeing the Thrillcade of auto dare- devils. The bus arrived back in De Smet at 4:10. The State Fair paid the band $55 for its appearances, this going into the music budget. • • Victory for Bulldogs On Opener, 12-0 The De Smet Bulldogs won their first game played this sea- son. a home game, by a score of 12 to 0 over Elkton Friday. De Smet’s two scores came in the second and third quarters by a 60-yard run by Victor Krause and a 40-yard run by Jim Wika. There was a full-team effort of blocking to break them loose. The team looked good on de- fense, and Bob Montross showed up exceptionally well with 15 tack- les. The Bulldogs are coached by Gary Meeder. This is his second year at De Smet as football coach and he looks at football prospects as very promising.

STUDENT COUNCIL NEWS The first meeting of the Student Council was held in the science room September 11 at 12:45. The meeting was called to order by President Bob O’Keefe. Business consisted of prize money for floats, winning prize S2.00. The subject of Student Council pins also came up, and we decided to get them. We voted to have all seniors participate in homecoming instead of having each class represented in the coronation ceremonies. We also decided to help the cheerleaders pay for the material they are going to use for their out- fits. It is now possible to have all the books and magazines acces- sible to the students, with ade- quate seating and study facilities so that a number may be using the library for research and study purposes at one time.

He was born on August 22, 1908, and received his elementary and high school education at Trent Our superintendent received his B.A degree at Huron College during 1926-1930. In the summer of 1934 he attended South Dakota State College, and received his M.A. degree at the University of South Dakota during the summers of 1937 to 1941. Mr. Lester gained his teaching experience at the towns of Isabel, Rockham, Frankfort, Colton, and De Smet. He was a teacher and coach at Isabel and also the super- intendant at the other towns, com- ing to De Smet in 1951 when there were 118 students and eight teach- ers in high school; and 200 pupils and 8 teachers in grade school. Now there are Over 600 pupils with a faculty of 31 teachers. District declam committees, district and regional basketball committees, rep resentatiye of School Administrators Associ- ation, and secretary-treasurer of the Region III music group for one year include most of Mr. Lester’s related experiences. “Associations with such nice people, both young people and adults,’’ are Mr. Lester’s greatest rewards from teaching. • • Our next teacher on parade is Mr. Kenneth Graham. He was born at De Smet March 7, 1918. He went to high school and gradu- ated at De Smet in 1936, and work- ed as a bookkeeper for the Farm- er’s Creamery of De Smet from 1937-41.

Octo 30 SECOND GRADE Mrs. Dagit It hardly seems possible that three weeks of school have passed already! Each day is so busy and seems to fly by. We have twenty-two children in our room-11 boys and 11 girls. We’ve had many interesting vaca- tion experiences to share, and drew pictures about a favorite one. The class has had some good discus- sions about safety at home and school. Each of us is making a safety booklet. We saw a film- strip about bicycle safety, and Mr. Ritenour is coming next week to tell us some things about how policemen protect us. Nearly all our work these first few weeks has been a review of first grade work. We seem to have remembered well through the sum- mer months. In art we made funny characters by tracing around our shoes and adding features. We also made a favorite animal by tearing paper. We’re all lookings forward to a successful school year. We’d enjoy having you come to visit our room. • • • SECOND GRADE Miss Arbeiter This year there are two second grade rooms. There are 21 in our room-9 girls and 12 boys.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR GAME CONTROL The great game of basketball has hit the courts of the large and small schools throughout the state. Already the impact of this highly competitive game has af- fected the thinking of the fans that support it. Fans have sent Letters to the Editor criticizing some basketball officials (who are doing their best to keep the game under control) for losses due to their team’s in- ept playing. Some fans in their small talk around different towns have said some officials have let the game get out of control. This control of the game has got to be a dual responsibility of the coaches and the officials-working together to keep this great game clean, up- standing, and according to the rules. Under the stress and strain of trying to win for their schools, some coaches are at fault in los- ing their self-composure and are guilty of the following unsports- manlike actions which tend to in- cite the crowd: (1) Jumping up from the bench and making unsportsmanlike ges- tures. (2) Questioning the officials' decisions of judgment, in loud voice. (3) Telling the players to de- liberately foul in order to stop the clock (instead of coaching double teaming tactics or rriaking an honest attempt to steal the ball legally). The unnecessary fouling during the last four minutes of some games tends to make a mockery of the game. Who wants to watch both teams march from one foul line to the other? We must clean up our own houses before we lay all the blame to the officials, who have to make split-second firm, unbiased deci- sions of judgment according to the rules. Otherwise this good, whole- some. competitive game will cer- tainly deteriorate to a new low. We were hired not only to teach the fundamentals of the game but also to instill in our players the will to win by fair play; teach good sportsmanship in defeat as well as victory; win without boast- ing and lose without an alibi. We must show a good example of self-control on the bench during the heat of the battle or to our players, and they will follow our example in their playing of the game. What better way is there to teach citizenship to our youth than the way it may be experienc- ed in sports?
