The affirmative side must prove there is a need for compulsory arbitration and have a plan to alleviate the situation. The nega- tive must show that compulsory arbitration is not needed and that the affirmative plan could not possibly work. Debate teaches one to learn more about our government and foreign affairs by using news- papers and magazines for dis- covering facts. It helps the stu- dent in school, by training him to pick out the important con- cepts. and how to think for him- self in everything he may do. 217 Now in High School Increases have occurred in only two of the high school classes, with the Freshmen gain- ing five and the Juniors two.

Senior on Parade: Brenda Albrecht is a girl who likes to help people who are not a: healthy or do not have as good an advantage as those of us who can do just about anything we wish. Brenda has been Captain and Co-Captain for Crippled Children and Captain for the Cerebral Palsy drive of 1964-65. Brenda is 5 feet. 7 Vfe inches tall. She has dark blue eyes and dark brown hair. She says her weight is her own secret. Outside activities she enjoys the most are cheerleading, sew- ing- dancing and being with her friends. Brenda’s ideal boy should have the following charactristics: He should be about 6 feet. 2 inches tall, with dark hair, blue eyes, dark complexion, manly build, with a good personality. He must love to dance and must be easy to laugh and joke with. Making Brenda angry are “peo- ple who think they know every- thing and hate to be proven wrong.” Improvements that Brenda would like to see around the school are: Better physical edu- cation programs in all four years of high school and a wider var- iety of courses, such as foreign languages and higher level courses. Her advice to freshmen is: ‘Try to be in all the extra curricular activities you can. set your goals high, work hard, but don’t for- get to laugh and have fun. Brenda plans to attend beauty school in Sioux Falls and become a beautician. — N — Senior on Parade: The student body recently made a very wise choice in pick- ing Linda Abrahamson as stu- dent council secretary All the students realized that it takes someone with get-up-and-go to handle the job- so, of course. Lin- da was a prime candidate. She is the kind of vivacious, friendly, and outgoing person who would work hard to prove that the stu- dents made a wise choice in se- lecting her. Linda is 5 feet. 7Vfe inches tall, has light brown hair and twink- ling blue eyes. Her favorite activites during her four years in high school in- clude: Band, chorus. FHA and n clam. More school spirit and a better organized student body would be her improvements in the school. Linda’s plans for the future are Local FHA Members Attend Huron Convention The annual F. H. A. conven- tion, held at the Huron Arena Saturday, took a delegation from De Smet high school. “Building for the Future” was the theme for the well organized- very impressive event. Attending were the Chapter Advisor. Mrs. Gary Cramer; the Chapter Mothers, Mrs. E. E. Bel- zer, Mrs. Charles Fox, and Mrs. Leslie Dannenbring; and 10 mem- bers. Donna Stubbe, Barbara Wilkinson, Dianne McKibben, Shirley Fox, Lane Dannenbring, Bonnie Belzer, Kay Alger Pam Williamson, Mary Beth Kruse, and Nadine Hannah. The De Smet Chapter was in charge of registration. Gordon C. Nelson, Executive Secretary of Associated School Boards, gave a talk on Education for the Future.

The banquet was served to a thousand guests, and at this time Dr. Frances Hettler, of South Dakota State University, spoke on Home Life in Pakistan. Musical numbers, skits, group meetings- greetings from the State F. F. A. president, report on the National convention, group singing, presentation of awards and degrees, and installation of new officers rounded out the days’ program. Pam Williamson and Mary Beth Kruse sang in the state chorus. — N — New Policies for Pep Club It was a first for De Smet Pep Club when Ardis Taschner was elected to the new position of club secretary. She will keep the club’s records and assist the Cap- tain and Co-Captain. The Pep Club has also changed this year with the omission of dues and the stressing of better support in all school activities rather than just sports. to attend Augustana and later teach deaf or blind children. She could tell the freshmen to study, but she is sure they would not realize how important it is until they are seniors, as her advice to freshmen is just to make the best out of DHS. If you want to be a friend of Linda’s you’d better not go around with a cigarette hanging out of the corner of your mouth, because that is her pet peeve.

Among improvements in the school system that Barb would like to see is a posting of the menu for the week, or a cafeteria- style lunch program.

Willow Lake Pirates Win Over Bulldogs 18-12 The Willow Lake Pirates won an 18-12 victory over the De Smet Bulldogs in a conference game Friday evening on Washington Park gridiron. This was the Pirates fifth straight win which left them on top of the Lake Central confer- ence. The visitors opened the scoring late in the second quarter on a one-yard pass play from Darwin Grimm to Jim Thorson, after a stubborn De Smet defense had held them for three downs with- in the four-yard line. De Smet tied the score in the third quarter, 6-6. on a 65-yard sprint by Jim Wika, but on the return kick-off Ron Vandenburg caught the ball and went 70 yards for a Willow Lake touchdown. A few minutes later Jim Thor- son ran 65 yards for his second touchdown of the evening to give the Pirates an 18-6 lead. The Bulldogs came back with a 20-yard pass play from Jim Johnson to Jerry Hein to make the final score 18-12. create a good school spirit.” An ideal boy for Barbara is six feet or above, with brown hair, brown eyes, a good per- sonality, and is fun to be with. Her plans upon graduation are to attend Concordia College in Minnesota with a major in Home Economics. If you know anyone with mix- ed hobbies of hunting, fishing, and tinkering with old cars, you will probably be acquainted with Jeff Wallum, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis Wallus of De Smet. A five-foot-seven, blue-eyed senior, he would like to see two improvements made in the school. First- he would like to see more time between classes, and sec- ondly, better desks in the Junior and Senior assembly. On a date he would like to have with him a girl about five foot seven. She should have brown hair, blue eyes, and like to have a good time. Jeff has been busy with many activities in high school, but his main interests have been: FFA. Jets, Pep Club, football, mixed chorus, boy’s glee club, and the Junior class play. “People who think they know it all” is his pet peeve and his advice to frehsmen is: “Study hard because your four years go fast, but don’t forget to have fun.” De Smet Hi NEW SETT E from The De Smet News, October 21, 1965 Bulldogs and Howard Tigers In 13-13 Tie The Do Smet Bulldogs and the Howard Tigers fought to a 13-13 tie at Washington Park Friday evening in a conference game.

In the second quarter Jim Wika capped a De Smet drive by scor- ing from nine yards out. Rodney Hildebrandt kicked for the extra point. Later in the second quar- ter Howard’s Merilyn Hook pick- ed up a loose ball and scooted 30 yards to give Howard a 13-7 ad- vantage. The Bulldogs held on the extra point attempt. Late in the second quarter the Bulldogs were driving for an- other touchdown but time was running out on them. With five seconds left before halftime. Jim Johnson hit Rodney Hildebrandt on a short pass and touchdown. The conversion attempt was no good. The second half was dominat- ed by defense, as neither team could get a scoring drive going. Several times De Smet’s defen- sive unit held Howard within 10 yards of £ touchdown. Offensively Howard’s Tom Hepner, De Smet’s Jim Johnson and Jim Wika played fine games while both teams played well on defense.

Terry likes to fix up old cars and plans to at- tend auto mechanics school for two years. Terry was born June 27, 1948, at Huron, to Mr. and Mrs. Syl- vester Mathison. He weighs 158 pounds and is 6 feet, 1 inch tall. He has brown hair and green eyes. Terry’s good humor and funny wise cracks makes him a pal of everyone at D. H. S. His activies during high school include track and basketball. Some of his likes are: Song, Mak Me Your Baby; movie, Tickle Me; actor, Jerry Lewis; actress. Jill St. John; food, steak; sport, baseball. Terry’s pet peeve is people who are always bragging about how good they are. His ideal girl is 5 feet. 9 in- ches. has a good figure, and likes to have fun. His advice to freshmen is: Make use of your time because it goes fast. If you see a girl come flying down the hall who fits this des- cription: Light brown hair, blue- green eyes, and about 5 feet, 3 inches tall, you will probably be looking at our next Senior on Parade, Lynn Jacob. Lynn is al- ways friendly and is busy doing something every moment, either talking, writing letters, or study- ing. She also is busy with her spec- ial hobbies, sewing and cooking. She plans to attend Stewart’s Hairstyling School following her graduation. The one improvement Lynn would like to see in our school is that all students be treated alike. During her four years of high school Lynn has been active in FHA. had part in the Junior class part. Pep club. Annual staff, li- brarian and a member of the Newsette staff. Lynn’s pet peeve is people who think th3y are better than any- one else. Her ideal boy is one two or three inches taller than she, has blue eyes and a spark- ling personality. Her advice to freshmen is: “Study hard, yet have fun; the years go by very fast.” — N — Sideline Sidelights Barbara Wilkinson You have probably heard by now that Arlington gave Willow Seniors Attend College Days” at Huron The Seniors of DHS attend “College Days” at Huron college today, Thursday. Transportation will be by cars, provided by the parents. There will be representatives from colleges and universities, commercial, beauty, nursing and various trade schools. The ses- sions will help seniors in decid- ing what their future plans are to be. It will be an interesting after- noon, with three sessions from 1 to 4 o’clock. These will take place at different buildings on the campus, and at the Arena. — N — Meats Teams Attending National FFA Convention Murray Serfling, Lyle Ander- son and Dean Carroll, winners of •the state meats team contest, were attending the national FFA convention in Kansas City, Mo., October 11. They were accom- panied by Mr. Gebur, FFA ad- visor. Leaving October 12 for the convention were Jim Larson, treasurer of District II, Lon Dan- nenbring and Dennis Pitman. The group will return home Saturay, Oct. 16. — N — All-State Chorus Mr. Edwards has chosen the four vocal students to represent De Smet at Sioux Falls for the All-State Chorus. They are: Soprano, Deanna Muilenburg; alto, Ardis Tasch- ner; tenor, Rick Holm; bass, Dick Poppen. Alternates are Sue Graham, Nancy Schultz, Rick Smith and Dick Green Lake quite a battle last week. This means we’ve got our work cut out for us. The Bulldogs proved last Fri- day night that our defensive line is tough .when we held Howard on the five-yard line for four downs. Tomorrow night, we have to really play good ball to beat Arlington. Last week, the Pep Club didn’t seem very enthusiastic. We’ve got to yell so the team knows we’re behind them. Many of you may have heard the saying, “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” This applies to our team, too. Only the team isn’t weak, it’s the Pep Club. So, everybody really sup- port the team tomorrow night at Arlington. De Smet Hi NEW SETT E from The De Smet News, October 28, 1965 Marvin Farr Wins Letter of Commendation In Scholarship Test A student, Marvin Farr, has been honored with a Letter of Commendation for high perform- ance on the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test given last spring. A Commended student ranks jus below the 14,000 semi- finalists announced last month. Charles Schwahn, principal, announced the award. John M. Stalnaker, president of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation said: “These students are being recognized for their outstanding performance on the qualifying test. “In a rigorous competition like the Merit Program, it is unavoid- able that many fine students will miss being named semifinalists by a narrow margin. Neverthe- less. the student in this situation is very capable and deserves generous recognition for his dis- tinguished effort.” Although students receiving Letters of Commendation ad- vance no farther in the Merit Program, their names are report- ed to other scholarship-granting agencies and to the colleges they named at the time they took the tests. — N — Bulldogs Win 18-6 Over Arlington Cardinals The Bulldogs fought their way to an 18-6 victory over the Cardi- nals on a visit to Arlington Fri- day evening. The first score came when Rod Hildebrandt caught a f unt and behind fine blocking went 60 yards for the only touch- down of the first half. The try for extra point failed. After the half-time Arlington took the kickoff and marched to the De Smet one-yard line. On a disputed fourth down play, they scored to tie the game, at 6-6, as the extra point was stopped. A little later Jim Wika took the ball and went to the outside for the tie-breaking touchdown. The conversion failed. Arden Wallum ended the scoring on an eight-yard blast. For De Smet Rod Hildebrandt and Marvin Farr, and for the Cardinals, Boyd Parker and Lon Hull, played good defense. Quarter scores: De Smet 0 6 0 12—18 Arlington 0 0 6 0— 6 De Smet hosts Lennox Friday night. Seniors on Parade “You have only one chance, so study hard and have fun,” is Vic- tor Krause’s advice to freshmen. In looking over our next Sen- ior on Parade you would most likely find him on the field or floor. Vic, who has lettered in football, track and basketball all four years of high school. Victor was born to Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Krause on June 4. 1947 at Ottawa, Kan. At that time he weighed 8 lbs., 6 oun- ces and now he is a full 153 pounds of well trained muscles. He likes to spend his spare time either listening to the Beatles or eating his mother’s home fried chicken. People who are moody and who act better than anyone else are Victor’s pet peeves. If Victor were able to change our school system in any way to make it better, he would change the hot lunch program After graduation he plans to enlist in the Navy and latter attend college. If we were to think of Miss F. H. A. of De Smet hgih school for 1965 we would have to con- sider our next Senior on Parade, Bonnie Belzer. Bonnie was the second girl to join the Emiel Belzer family, on Feb. 29, 1948. This poses quite a problem. How would you like to have a birthday every four years? Although Bonnie is 17 years old she actually has had only four birthdays. Bonnie has become an attrac- tive 5 foot, 3 inch, clear blue eyed, light brown hair senior girl, who bubbles over with energy and vitality, which helps her get the job done. Her word to freshmen ,is “Study hard but have fun, be- cause you don’t know how fast those four years go.” When Bonnie was asked what her ideal boy is like, she answer- ed this way, “He must be tall, have a good personality, be lots of fun and have a good sense of humor.” Bonnie has been active in F. H. A., chorus, band and the Jets during her high school days. The most memorable event for Bonnie was going to the National F. H. A. convention in her jun- ior year. Bonnie plans to go to S. D. State University and major in dietetics after graduation. Winners Named In Local Declamatory Contest The local declam contest was held Monday, Oct. 18, at 6:30.

He will appear with our Bulldogs at all sports events to help lead them to victory. Let’s have Wooly Bully repre- sent a school that shows good sportsmanship. — N — Sideline Highlights Last Friday night the Bulldogs played a very good game against he Arlington Cardinals to come out on top 18-6. This Friday evening the Bull- dogs play their final game of the season against the Lennox Orioles, under the lights in Wash- ington Park. The “D” Club is having a slave auction again this year. The boys will be sold at half-time at the De Smet-Lennox game. You can find strong workers among our Bulldogs, so be sure to buy one of them. We hope to see everyone out cheering at the game because we want to finish the season with a win. De Smet Hi NEW SETT E from The De Smet News, November 4, 1965 Bulldogs Close Season With Victory; Tied For Second in Conference The Bulldogs ended their sea- son Friday night on a winning note, when they defetaed Len- nox 14-6 at Washington Park. In the second quarter White skirted left end and went 55 yards for a touchdown to give Lennox a 6-0 half-time advant- age. The conversion attempt was blocked. In the third quarter De Smet got a drive going and marched to the Lennox two-yard line, and Arden Wallum took it over for De Smet’s first touchdown. Jim Wika added the extra point. In the fourth quarter the Bull- dogs got another drive going and Arden Wallum again took it over, but this time from six yards out. Jim Johnson passed to Marv Farr for the extra point. For the Bulldogs Dave Hyink and Arlen Wallum played fine defensive games. De Smet ended the season with a 5 won, 2 lost, 1 tied record. They tied Howard for second place in the Lake Central Con- ference. Lennox 0 6 0 0— 6 De Smet 0 0 7 7—14 — N — Sideline Highlights Hello there, fellow students! I guess everyone in school is happy about the fine football season just completed. The team ended the year with a 5-2-1 record. Friday night we made believers of another team as we defeated the Lennox Orioles by a score of 14-6. I remember hearing people talk before the season started. They said we wouldn’t be very good this year because of all of the good seniors who had graduated But the team came out and made a lot of people change their minds. In fact, after one game, when we had given the opposing team a pretty bad beating, I heard an opposing player say that there were only a couple of teams in the Midwest that could beat us. But we don’t have to play the Green Bay Packers or the Chicago Bears on our schedule. This year we have a new ad- dition to our gymnasium, new glass bangboards for basketball. I think this will give us good experience because we will be using glass boards when we play i.. Sioux Falls in the State Tourn- ament. Here’s hoping! Senior on Parade If you see a dark, handsome boy from De Smet who plays a guitar and sings in the combo, The Shandoas. you can be sure it is Bill O’Keefe. Besides having talent for play- ing in a band. Bill has the gift of using a sense of humor—and one other, chasing girls. Besides having a good person- ality, Bill’s girl must be about five feet three or four inches, have blonde hair, wear little make-up, and be not too badly built. His full name, William John O’Keefe, he was born to Mr. and Mrs. Edward O’Keefe on August 15, 1948. He is five feet, nine inches tall and weighs 135 pounds, has dazzling brown eyes and rich black hair. His advice to freshmen is: “Gain about a hundred pounds so we can use you.” Activities he has taken part in include Student Council .track, and basketball. He has also re- ceived the honor of sophomore vice president and co-captain in track. Bill is active in his church group, C. Y. O., and attended its convention this year. The improvement he would like to see around school is, “No teachers!” He plans to go on to college. — N — Unusual Experiences Came to Students In Nuclear Demonstrations The assembly program on nuc- lear energy, held by Mr. Staley of Oakride, Tenn.. was the first held by the high school this year. With unexpected explosions, geiger counters, and mock sets of nuclear machines, Mr. Staley held the attention of the aud- ience. Students picked from the aud- ience at the time helped with the demonstrations. Bonnie Belzer helped display the effect of 3,000 volts of static electricity when her hair literally stood on end. Dennis Kruse held a radio- active ball and moved it around to show how it affected the gei- ger counter. Steven Kracht assisted in show- ing how a poorly functioning thyroid gland can be found and corrected by radioactive means. The demonstrations and lec- ture are designed specifically for high school students with basic principles of science. Four Singers Leave Friday for All-State Deanna Muilenburg, Rick Holm, Ardis Taschner, Dick Poppen, and Mr. Edwards, vocal instructor, leave early Friday morning for All-State chorus at Sioux Falls. The evening program starts at 8 o’clock Saturday in Sioux Falls Arena.

De Smet Hi HEW SETT E from The De Smet News, November 11, 1965 Two De Smet Speakers Won in District Event; Cbmpete at Madison The four students representing De Smet at the District Declama- tion contest were Dick Green, Deanna Muilenburg, Mary Pop- pen and Marvin Farr. Dick and Deanna received Excellent ratings; Mary and Marvin received Su- perior ratings and represented the school at the Regional con- test in Madison November 9. Carthage won the District con- test plaque with a total of 18 team points. De Smet and Ar- lington tied for second with totals of 16 points. Third place was taken by Lake Preston with 14 points. Other towns participat- ing were Iroquois, Erwin, Ban- croft and Oldham. — N — Standards for Attire Established for School, Approved by Council The problem of school dress as its effects the conduct and oper- ation of a high school has been in controversy for the past few years. A study was made of this problem by the South Dakota Administration and a standard of dress has been approved. Schools have adopted standards, based on this study, for their students to follow. The following standards have been approved by the De Smet School Board, Student Council and the faculty for our school: The girls can wear dresses, skirts and blouses, or skirts and sweaters. They cannot wear shorts of any kind—sweatshirts, jeans, slacks or culottes. They cannot wear curlers in their hair or a scarf on their head. Accepted dress for the boys is dress or sport shirts, a tie option- al, standard trousers, khakis, with belt, and worn at waist level. Shirts must be buttoned and worn inside the trousers. Boys may not wear dungarees, “T” shirts, motorcycle jackets, or boots. They must not have an unshaven face, sideburns, “un- usual” haircuts or hair make- up. The study first mention came up with the conclusion that there is a direct correlation between appropriate dress and good atti tudes and conduct in high school. Mr. Schwahn. the principal of D. H. S. said it this way: “When you begin to dress like a hood, you begin to act like a hood, too.” Seniors on Parade On Coronation night of the Homecoming King and Queen. Margaret Baker was the happiest girl in De Smet. The student body, having to pick from four girls, chose Margaret as the Homecoming Queen of 1965-66. Her energy in cheerleading and other extra-curricular activities has shown that she has an active interest in those around her. Be- sides her cheerleading she has been active in Newsette. Annual, marching band, chorus, and class plays. Always neat in appearance and with a ready smile, Marg should have good results in her plans for the future, which include attend- ing Stewart’s School of Hairsty- ling at Sioux Falls. Margaret had no trouble when asked what her ideal boy would look like. Without hesitation, she said, “He would stand about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weigh approx- imately 150 pounds, and have brown hair and blue eyes.” The one thing that peeves her is when people think they are better than anyone else. When asked where improve- ments could be made in school, she mentioned the lunch pro- gram and the detention system. Seventeen years ago on Wash- ington’s birthday, Feb. 22, 1948, a son was welcomed into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dean Pir- let. They named him Daniel Dean, but his classmates call him Danny. He is good-looking with brown hair and eyes and he stands 6 feet, 1 inch. He is especially well-liked because of his spark- ling personality. Attending Boy’s State was an experience Danny will never for- get. Other activities he has taken part in include N. H. S., chorus and F. F. A. The ideal girl for Danny would be 5’6” tall, a blonde or brunette (he isn’t particular) with blue eyes. She should be intelligent, fun to be with, and she should have a good personality. His advice to freshmen is' “Start right by learning how and when to study, while not giving up the fun you can have in high school. Also keep in mind that high school is what you. the students and faculty, make it.” The wise guy who thinks he knows everything isn’t rated very high in Danny’s book. Some improvements he would like to see in D. H. S. are more school spirit and better facilities HONOR ROLL The follwoing students are on the high school honor roll. Names followed by an “S” are on the Superior Honor Roll. Seniors: Marvin Farr S, Anita Flint S.

They were Marv Farr and Lyle Bowes, respectively. Coach Meeder also sent in the nam S of Marv Farr and Arlen Wallum for All-State football. Good luck, boys! Basketball got off to a good start last week when some 40 boys showed up for practice. We have high hopes for a ter- rific season again this year, so don’t let us down, boys! so that we can be more proud of our high school. Looking into Danny’s future we see him attending S. D. S. U., majoring in wildlife biology. De Smet Hi NEWSETTE from The De Smet News, November 18, 1965 Mary Poppen, Marv Farr Win Superior Ratings At Region Declamatory Hals off to Mary Poppen and Marv Farr for winning superior ratings at the Regional declama- tory contest in the poetry and humorous divisions. The other superior in the district was given 1o a Carthage student. The con- test was held at Madison Uov. 9. Sixteen schools were represent- ai the contest and eight superior ratings were given, three to con- testants from this district. The State Declam contest will be held at Pierre Nov. 19-20. Mary and Marv will compete there agains students from A and B schools. De Smet Student Body salute the two winners and their in- structor, Mrs. Wolkow. — N — Mothers Welcomed At FHA Meeting “Welcome Mothers to Our FHA Meeting.” This was the greeting to all the mothers who attended the November 8 meeting of the De Smet FHA Chapter. A short skit was presented to show appreciation to our mothers. Mrs. Floyd Abrahamson gave a demonstrative talk on the differ- ent kinds of china, silverware, and stemmed glassware. At the close she gave some ideas on how to make money behave when buying these items. The home economics room was shown to the mothers following the meeting. — N — Coming Events The Junior class play, which is scheduled for Nov. 19, starts out the middle-of-the-month activi- ties. Bancroft will host the Hickory Stick meeting Nov. 22. Thanksgiving vacation comes Nov. 25-26. Elkton will be De Smet’s first opponent, November 30, to open the basketball season. — N — Library Books Ordered De Smet high school is getting 60 new library books. These were selected bv the teachers. The budget for library needs this year is 1100 of which the high school has soent $206.36 so far, and the elementary grades have spent $353.66. The new books will soon be in the library. SENIOR ON PARADE The University at Vermillion will be having one six-foot, blonde-haired, blue-eved boy en- rolling in its College of Fine Arts in the future. This boy is Steven Kracht. Steve has shown that he is a true leader bv his election and participation in school activities. He has been class, student body, NHS. and “D” club president, a Homecoming candidate and mem- ber of the Student Council. Sports has also held Steve’s interest, with one year of football, three vears of track and cross country, and four years of basket- ball. After having participated in many activities, this may be his reason for his pet peeve, “People belonging to an organization, then not wanting to do anything in it.” When Steve wants some com- panionship, he would look for a girl about 5 feet, seven inches and a half, who has red hair, blue eyes, a good figure, and to Steve is gorgeous! He says he would like to see a longer lunch hour for one im- provement in the school. — N — WHAT IS A THEME? What is a theme? This was the question many Seniors ask- ed Mrs. Wolkow when they found out they were to write one for their next assignment in English IV. After an explanation from Mrs. Wolkow that a theme is a written work of several pages which is formulated from your own ideas, the groans ceased and a brighter outlook on life was held by the two classes. There were several reasons for the writing of these themes. First, in any college a student is expected to know how to write a theme in 30-45 minutes with- out thinking it is an extraordi- nary feat. Secondly, a student should get some experience in analyzing his own writing for clarity and correctness in Eng- lish. Tuesday after the themes had been handed in, Mrs. Wolkow corrected some of them in class. Using the new opaque projec- tor which can show the writing on a paper on a screen, she orally pointed out common errors made. With this method students could ask questions on the spot and have them answered immediately. The Seniors hope to do better on the next themes written. FFA Meets! Green Hand Members Initiated The Green Hand initiation, Chapter Farmer ceremonies and a Creed contest were items of business at the FFA meeting held November 8. Twenty-eight members and one guest attend- ed.

The test will again be offered February 19, 1966. De Sntet Hi NEW SETT E from The De Smet News, November 25, 1965 Staff is Named For 1966 Bulldog; Anita Flindt Editor Work has begun on the 1965-66 Bulldog. De Smet High’s year- book. with Anita Flindt as edi- tor. Assistant editor is Dick Green, and the artist is Rick Holm. Other members of the staff are: Dave Braun, Bill Jensen, Irene Dugdale. Sue Graham. Linda Abrahamson, Barbara Wilkinson, Donna Olson, Yay Rodney, Mary Poppen, Donna Stubbe. Mary Alice Kruse, Margaret Baker. Lynn Jacob. Jackie Price, Carolyn Bowes. Brenda Davis, Patty Field, Colleen McAdaragh, Judy Johnson and Bonnie Tingle. Each member of the staff will have a certain task to perform in putting out this year’s Annual. — N — Local Banker Heard by Senior Girls On Insurance, Interest The Senior Home Economics girls had a treat November 16 when D. Wayne Meyer came to the school and talked to them about insurance and interest rates. This was of interest be- cause the girls had been study- ing about the different types of insurance, along with home man- agement and preparation for marriage. The main points brought out in his talk was that all of the facts about interest rates should be known by the wives as well as the husbands. — N — Physics is Interesting To Class of 27 Students The Physics class, consisting of 26 boys and one lucky girl, have completed the study of the “laws motion.” They are now going to study work, power, and energy. Certain natural laws, such as Newton’s three laws of motion, Archimedes’ principle of liquids, and Einsitein’s law of matter and energy are being ex- amined. These three men have contributed greatly to the de- velopment of science. Problems of physics are being solved and the students are find- ing the importance of mathemat- ics essential. Labratory work has been lim- ited because of equipment short- age. however the students are responding very well to the text book material. Mr. Graham reports that the Senior on Parade Because she is full of pep and energy, the most likely place to see our next Senior on Parade is at an out-of-town dance, or on anv dance floor for that matter. By now you’ve probably guess- ed it is Jacqueline Price, better known to the students at DHS as Jackie. The youngest girl in the Sen- ior class, she was born to Mr. and Mrs. John Price, on Octoebr 28. 1948, at Yankton. Jackie has green eyes and stands 5’ 5” and weighs 118 pounds. Some of the activities in which she has been in her four years of high school are: Pep Club, F. H. A.. Newsette, Annual Staff and librarian. When interviewed Jackie list- ed her favorite sports as softball and basketball—or any sport with a lot of action. She likes to watch the De Smet Bulldogs in action on the basketball floor. What peeves her is when a couple are too engrossed in each other to know what’s going on out on the dance floor. She says there is a time and a place for everything. Jackie’s hobby is sewing and she makes many of her own clothes. Her ideal boy friend is one who is tall, dark and handsome. He must be a football, basketball, and track star—but, “Boys, there is an exception to every rule!” Advising the Freshmen Jackie says, “Plan your time so you can have lots and lots of fun— but still save time for studying.” In 1966, following graduation, you will find Jackie at Stewart’s School of Hairstyling at Sioux Falls. “Miss Sue Ann Graham, Direc- tor of Music for (blank) School,” will probably be her title, for this is Sue’s ambition when she graduates. Sue will use her voice and ability to play musical in- struments in bringing her career to realization. This is why she lists her favorite extra-curricular activities as band and chorus. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Graham were blessed with a darling little 7 pound, 8 ounce “bundle of joy” on February 10. 1948. at St. John’s hospital in Huron. Sue has grown since then but anyone will agree she’s still a ‘‘bundle of joy.” She is now 5 feet. physics students are a very ener- getic group and a lot of fun to work with. Evening of Fun, Salesmen Awards, For Band Members There was fun and frolic for the De Smet band members a recent Friday evening. After a fall of hard work, they were duly awarded for their efforts by the Chamber of Commerce and the Band Mothers, who co-sponsored a party. Band members and their guests danced to the music of the Shan- adoes. Later in the evening the prizes earned in the magazine drive, held earlier this year, were dis- tributed. Maureen Cummins, who sold over $200 worth of mag- azines, received a transistor tape recorder for her efforts. Second high salesman. Georgia Krieger, also received a tape recorder. David Bell, third high sales- man. was given a camera. De anna Muilenburg, Dianne Mc- Kibben. Georgia Krieger, David Bell, Maureen Cummins, Vance Magnuson. Barbara Wilkinson and Sandra Iverson received stuffed dogs for selling at least seven of the 50 magazines. All the band students who had sold at least two “Post” subscriptions were awarded a set of “Kookie Dolls.” The money earned by band members will be used by the Band Mothers for supplies the band may need. 7 inches, has enchanting red hair and blue eyes. Some of Sue’s likes are: Song, You Were on My Mind; singer. The Beatles; actor. James Bond; actress, Ursula Andress; food, shrimp and spare ribs; sport, bas- ketball. Her hobby is listening to records and “tearing around in mother’s “Blue-Angel.” Sue’s favorite saying is: “If you don’t like my gate, don’t swing on it.” Her pet peeve is “People who sob around when they don’t get their own way.” “Life is our greatest gift, so live and let live,” is her advice to the Freshmen. The ideal bov friend for Sue stands 6 feet. 1 inch, has blond hair and warm blue eyes, has a winning smile, and is sharp, both physically and mentally. Some church and school acti- vities she participates in are: Vice president of U. C. Y-I song leader in Sundav school; band; chorus; small groups in music; Newsette; Annual Staff; F. H. A.; and Pep Club.

As the record book is closed for declamation this vear it is with much work put into it, and congratulations are due to all who participated and helped to make it a successful season. — N — Senior on Parade Mary Beth Kruse, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Bjordahl. was born March 26, 1948, at St. John’s Hospital in Huron. When a Newsette reporter ask- ed Mary her pet peeve she said, “My pet peeve is the school rules applying to only certain students but not to everyone equally.” A person with no enthusiasm at ball games is another pet peeve. The next question the reporter asked was about her ideal boy. She had this to say: ‘‘He would be almost 6 feet tall with dark or blonde hair and dark brown eyes. He should be interesting and fun. Also he would be ath- letic in some ways rather than just a book worm.” “My improvements would be in doing something about the meals we get. about the way the noon hour is spent, and about treating all student equally,” was her reply when asked about improve- ment that she thought should be made in D. H. S. Mary Beth’s favorites include: Favorite TV show. Loredo; favor- ite song. “I Hear a Symphony.” She is 5 feet, 6 inches tall, blue eyes and auburn hair. As to her weight she says, “It’s enough.” Her favorite sport is basketball, her favorite hobby is horseriding and her favorite food is shrimp. Looking up the activities Mary has been in it is seen she is now captain of the Pep club, vice president of N. H. S.. and over-all chairman of the homemaking pro- ject the Senior girls are under- Senior on Parade With a reputation of being quite a character, David “Cookie” Hyink has managed to take part in every activity he could with- out joining the girl’s organiza- tions. Starting off with Dave’s in- terest in music, it is found he has really put his trumpet to use in four years of band: Trumpet solo, brass sextet and brass en- semble. He played a trumpet solo in his Freshman and Senior years and auditioned for All- State three years. Being student conductor has added to his musi- cal experiences. He has been equally active in vocal music with mixed en- semble, mixed chorus, boy’s glee club, mixed octet and madrigal. The Big-a-Ding Boys, Dodge Boys and the Swing Band have also used David’s ability. Before going further it should be brought out that he is the son of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Hyink, born March 22, 1948, in Huron. When asked what his favorite sport is this 5-ft., 10%-inch, 195- pound. blonde and blue-eyed character answered. “Football, because I like to play it.” He has also played basketball and ran in track. Associated with sports is Dave’s advice to Freshmen: “Study hard and get good grades, but above all, boys, eat a lot and get big and strong—Meeder needs you!” But Dave isn’t interested in just boys and sports, he also finds girls very interesting. His ideal girl is about 5 feet, 7 inches, has dark hair, brown eyes, has a good personality and is fun to be with. Dave would like to see as much emphasis put on declamation, de- bate, chorus, band and science clubs as there is on sports. After graduation he plans to go to either S. D S. U. or the School of Mines to study engi- neering. taking. Mary is working for her State degree in F. H A. She is also active on the Annual staff, on the Newsette and in chorus. She plans to attend S. D. S. U. next fall, majoring in foods and nutrition. — N — Senior on Parade A friendly smile and always willing to lend a helping hand well describes our next Senior on Parade. Lane Loxi was the name chosen for the first daughter of Mr. and Debate Practice Starts For the Tournaments The first practice debate be- tween the affirmative team of Kay Rodney and Arden Wallum and the negative team of Rachael Roush and Mary Poppen was held Monday, Nov. 22. This gave the audience of de- baters an idea of what they will have to do this year in debating the topic. Compulsory Arbitration in Basic Industries. After the debate there was an extemporaneous meeting held. Here candidates for extempor- aneous speaking were given sug- gestions in preparing for com- petition. Mrs. Leslie Dannenbring. This blue-eyed baby girl arrived May 22. 1948, in Parkston, weighing 8 pounds, 14 ounces. While eating chislic and drink- ing pop you will probably find Lane watching a movie or the television or listening to her fav- orite recording, Henry the 8th, by her best-liked singers, Herman’s Hermits. Lane’s ideal boy friend is des- cribed as being 6 feet tall, hav- ing black hair, and shines with a good personality. Along with her hobby of sew- ing, she lists auto racing as a summer hobby. She is not only a great spectator of this sport but has a well-kept, up-to-date scrapbook on auto racing, includ- ing newspaper articles, photo- graphs and even autographs of her favorite drivers. As far as school sports are concerned, she likes them all. She takes an interesting stand at every F. H. A. meeting, as she is the historian. Lane says, “F. H. A. is my favorite extra-cur- ricular activity when my camera works!” When you hear someone say, “If you don’t like it, lump it,” you’ll know it’s Lane. She lists as her pet peeve: “People who always pry into your business.” Lane says she would like to see as a school improvement all of the students treated alike. Her advice to Freshmen is: “High school is fun, but you must re- member to study and be in some extra-curricular activities.” Lane’s future plan is to become a physical education teacher by attending General Beadle college. Her activities include: F. H. A. I, 2, 3, historian 4; Pep Club 1, 2, 3, co-captain 4; librarian 3, 4; Newsette staff 4; Luther League 1, 2, 3. 4.

Students have learned how to account for merchandise bought and sold on credit and how to keep a simple set of books for several types of businesses. Dur- ing the past weeks the class time was spent on the discussion of bank deposits and the reconcili- ation of bank statements. “Will I really be able to bal- ance books?” This may be a question the students may ask themselves, as they begin their first practice set, which involves buying and selling merchandise for a wholesale grocer. This pro- ject, working in and out of the classroom, will take three weeks or more. Question of the Week? What do you think of draft- card burners? Dick Poppen: We all have the right to express ourselves, but these people are going over- board. Rather than promoting peace they are spurring the enemy on. Susan Schwartz: I believe they are unwilling to grow up and accept responsibility. They are creating their own little fantasy by thinking a burned draft card will excuse them from a service term. They should be willing to serve. Rick Holm: Out of I don’t know how many manv million college students, only six have burned their cards so far. There’s bound to be a few crack-pots in this country, so I don’t think it’s the problem the press is trying to make it out to be. Gregg Algers: I don’t think the burning of draft cards is a big problem like the press makes it up to be. The half dozen draft- card burners on record do not represent the millions of men who have them. Marvin Farr: I think the pro- tests being made by the draft- card burners are unpatriotic, and the persons who burn their draft cards to publicize such protests are undeserving of their great American heritage. Linda Abrahamson: I don’t think they are very bright. We have a lot of freedoom. Aren’t .these freedoms worth fighting for? — N — Study of Government Makes for Citizenship The Senior American Govern- ment classes have finished a study of the Legislative Depart- ment. They are now going on to the study of the Executive Department, which includes the President, Vice President and Cabinet members. The class has also learned that the Constitution has been chang- ed only 24 times since 1790— through the 24 amendments. They have also been keeping in touch with the news outside of class by bringing important news articles and presenting them to the rest of the class. The Seniors receive Junior Re- views each week, telling about major happenings in the world. By the end of this study on government, they hope to be- come better citizens of this great country. Wins Second Place In Snow Queen Contest Congratulations to Barbara Wilkinson for winning runner-up in the area Snow Queen con- test held at Lake Preston recent- ly- Barbara was the only con- testant from De Smet in this contest. She competed with 15 girls of Lake Preston and two of Arlington. The contestants were given a banquet and were interviewed for personality. Barbara Olson of Lake Pres- ton was chosen this year’s queen. There was also a talent show with “Miss Aberdeen,” Janice Jencks doing a hula dance, the Baird sisters of Iroquois, twirl- ing, and “Miss South Dakota,” Nancy Lou Sandwick, singing. — N — Sideline Sidelights Barbara Wilkison Look at all the legs!

S. — N — Off the Blackboard Last week as most of you know, my column appeared in the Newsette. This was a total “shock” to me. Last week I was so busy, I didn’t turn my as- signment in! I found out that a friend of mine, a friend I didn’t know I still possessed, saved my neck by writnig my article for me. This composition, in effect proved to be very good. I am hoping that this person will again compose an article, or maybe do a combined column with me at some future time. As I mentioned in a previous column, there will be some poems in here next week. The talented poet will be none other than Class of the Week” Features Agriculture Ag “I” has just completed work in the shop, the students in pairs building a small tool box, the box- es painted after completion. One day was spent sharpening knives using an oil stone and a steel. The members have just begun work on their supervised farm- ing programs. Each student en- rolled in vocational agriculture is required to have a project, such as animals or crops, to supple- ment class work. This is the basis for the FFA motto, “Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve.” In planning the supervised farming program the students write out a preliminary plan, es- timate a budget of income and expense, and decide upon prac- tices which will be carried but in connection with the project. The records will be kept for the next year and completed, with actual expenses, receipts, labor and practices followed be- ing recorded. — N — Schedule of Events A Christmas concert will be given Friday evening by the vo- cal and band departments in the Auditorium. A game at Arlington will be the next event, December 21. Four o’clock, December 23, will be a happy date for all the stu- dents. Christmas vacation starts! — N — Cheerleaders, Alternates Chosen for Pup Team The De Smet Pups will be cheered on this year by the en- tire grade cheering section, led by the newly elected cheerlead- ers.

Mary Lynn O’Keefe and Mary Johnson will serve as alter- nates. Dick “Shakespear” Spencer. May I also add that the poem that ap- peared in last week’s publication does not include Senior boys. I wish to announce that I have lost my autographed picture of Bill O’Keefe. There is a reward out to anyone who can return it, or give me another one. Coming next week, a big Chrismas issue. Watch for it! Mr. Chalk Bulldogs Get in Gear With a Volga Win The De Smet Bulldogs broke a two-game losing streak by winning over a tall Volga team by a score of 59-56 Dec. 7 in a Lake Conference game. De Smet jumped to a 14-11 lead after the first quarter but Volga came back strong to post a 27-26 advantage at half-time. The third quarter saw De Smet have a one-point lead, 38-37. In the final quarter the Bulldogs caught fire and built up a good margin, holding Volga down to have their first victory in three games. Jerry Hein, with a good floor game, scored 16 points. Arlen Wallum made 14 points and Rod Hildebrandt added 10 more for De Smet. Wallum also had seven rebounds and Hildebrandt stole the ball four times. The much taller Volga team got only one more rebound than De Smet. De Smet made it a clean sweep by winning the “B” game 47-39.

The attack at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, killing many Americans, will be long remem- bered. The Constitution in its origi- nal form did not guarantee indi- vidual freedoms. The Bill of Rights went into effect on Dec. 15, 1191, with the first 10 amend- ments. De Smet Hi NEW SETT E from The De Smet News, December 23, 1965 Debaters Fare Well At SDSU Tournament In spite of tremendous com- petition within a four-state area, and the presence of the larger schools in the event, the D. H. S. debate team turned in an out- standing effort at the State Uni- versity tournament. The “A” debate teams—Arden Wallum and Kay Rodney the af- firmative and Dick Green and David Hyink the negative—had a 5-5 record, with victories over Sioux Falls O’Gorman, Lead, Clark, Pierre and Ringstead, Iowa.

The possibility of forming a Junior National Rifle Associa- tion, to hold two meetings a month, was discussed. Talks and demonstrations are to be given at future meetings. Lunch was served by a com- mittee, followed by recreation. Off the Blackboard This week, as I promised, there is going to be a literary creation by the poet laureate of D. H. S. Before going on, however, I would like to say that Mr. Spen- cer’s neweest creation, entitled ’’Hot Rod Sleigh” cannot be printed this week, because my “laundry woman” ran this beautiful work of art through the washing machine and all the words were washed off the paper. The following is a poem com- posed early in Dick’s career: SANTA’S LAST RIDE by Dick Spencer There’s a plump little cat from way up north, Who, at this time of year comes forth Dressed all in red and trimmed with white, That fat little man is quite a sight! His beard is as long and as white as snow, And down the chimney he does go. On his back his toys are bagged; That soot is so terrible, he al- most gagged! Down at the bottom, his bag he gripped, And on the fireplace screen he tripped. “For good luck,” said Santa, “is the Egyptian Sphinx, But this placeis nothing but a jinx. So I think that I’ll depart, And for the next kid’s house I’ll start.” So up the chimney and into his sleigh. He cracked his whip and went away, At last he finally did get done; He was just in time ’cause here came the sun. When he got home he had his sup, And told Mrs. Claus not to get him up. Before he slept, he summoned his elves, And said, “Next year you’re go- ing by yourselves.” Take it easy over the holidays! See you next year—1966! Mr. Chalk — N — Family Communications FHA Panel Discussion Everyone has the Christmas spirit! This includes the FHA’ers. After the meeting December 13 ell of the girls went caroling in different parts of De Smet. The program for the evening was a panel discussion with Mrs. Music Christmas Concert Presented Friday; Had Mexican Theme De Smet High School music departments presented its annual Christmas concert December 17. The theme of the concert was La Navidad Mexicana, which means The Mexican Christmas. The girl’s glee club sang O Bambino, Christ is Born, and Snow, Snow, Beautiful Snow, while the boy’s glee club sang Sing Praise and The Sleigh. The mixed chorus sang La Sorpresa, (The Surprise), Lost in the Night, Mexican Christmas Procession and Glory to God in the High- est. The vocal music department is under the direction of David Edwards. The instrumental music depart- ment, under the direction of William Winkle, played The Minutemen (concert march), and In Town Suite (The Apartment 1st Movemenet). The trumpet quartet, featuring David Hyink, Rick Holm, Dick Green and James Combs was featured in Trumpets Ole. Other band numbers were Command Performance, Ampari- to Roca (Spanish March), Christ- mas Music for Winds and The Toy Shop, a descriptive fantasy, narrated by Mary Poppen. — N — Question of the Week What is your New Year's Resolution? Mary Beth Kruse: To laugh at a joke even if I’ve heard it be- more—it makes them feel good. Mr. Feuerstein: To not work so hard. Shelby Anderson: To do more things in 1966, but to get in less trouble. Lynn Jacob: To fly to Virginia every month? Brenda Davis: I plead the fifth amendment (whatever that is). Danny Spader: Get to know and learn the names of every person in De Smet high school. Jackie Price: To get to know some more Willow Lake Seniors. Donald Wolkow, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Larson, Rick Holm, Mrs. O. M. Bjordahl and Mary Alice Kruse taking part in the discus- sion. The topic was Family Com- munications. They discussed the different ways to better under- stand family members. Christmas grab bag gifts were exchanged when the girls re- turned from caroling. De Smet Hi NEW SETT E from The De Smet News, December 30, 1965 Victory Over Arlington Upped Season Record The De Smet basketball squad visited Arlington December 21 and brought home a victory, 48- 44, this an East Central Confer- ence game and giving the local team a record of three victories, two losses for the season. High scorer for the Bulldogs was Vic Krause, with 14 points, Jim Johnson following with 13. Paul Harmel made 18 for the Cardinals. Krause also made nine re- bounds and four recoveries, and played a good defensive game. Bill Purrington made seven re- bounds. The Cardinals got off to a good lead in the first quarter and con- tinued it through the second per- iod .the Bulldogs getting into gear in the last half, leading their opponents in both quarters. The “B” team lost, 28-39. The Bulldogs tried for 35 free throws and dropped in 20, for a 57% average. The Cardinals also shot 57% from the free-throw line.

Quarter scores: De Smet 13 17 36-48 Arlington 21 23 33 44 — N — New Constitution Adopted by D” Club The “D” club met December 22 to approve a new constitution, drawn up earlier, with copies dis- tributed among the lettermen for examination. The constitution, now in ef- fect, states the objectives of the Club, qualifications for member- ship, and rules concerning wear- ing of .the awards. It sets a standard procedure for the elec- tion of officers, duties of the of- ficers, and the appointing of committees. It also states certain rules of social behavior and scholastic work. Infraction of these rules can result in disqualification of a member. A new constitution has been needed for some time. It should give the club better organiza- tion and higher ideals which in turn should help raise the stand- ards of De Smet High School Athletics. Off the Blackboard My New Year’s Resolution for 1966 is: “I, Mr. Chalk, will en- deavor to keep my identity sec- ret for the rest of the year.” If anyone thinks they know who I am please inform the edi- tor, because you see I am suf- fering from a severe case of amnesia and I would like to know too. As I get around quite a bit, I’ve picked up a few resolutions the students have made for the New Year. Resolved: 1. I will write my thank-you notes before June 1. 2. I will refrain myself from driving my teachers crazy. 3. I will not fight with “him.” 4. I will not fight with “her.” 5. I will polish my toe nails so the dirt won’t show. 6. I will not get more than than 3 F’s on my report card next semester. 7. I will not keep my girl out any later than 2 a. m. 8. I will continue to sleep in study hall. 9. I will attempt to take a bath at least two times this year. 10. I will get as many brownie points as time will allow. These are 10 of the many reso- lutions made this year, which in the utmost probability under pre- vailing circumstances, in the most likelihood and stating it very frankly—now where was I? Well, anyway, who can keep resolu- tions? Yours until the butterflies, Mr. Chalk. — N — Pups Lose Opener On Visit of Preston The grade school basketball Meeder, played its first game team, under the coaching of Gary here December 20, losing to Lake Preston, 37-34.

Seniors on Parade We have many talented Seniors in the class of 1966, but we all would agree, one of the most talented is Deanna Lynn Muilen- burg. She was born July 21, 1948, and is now 5 feet 5 inches, a brown-haired, brown-eyed pride and joy of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Muilenburg. A majority of her extra acti- vities are centered around music. She is in concert and swing band, of which she is the oldest mem- ber, and is also in chorus. She is a piano accompanist and was a member of All-State chorus. She was FHA songleader. She also sings in her church choir. Another one of Deanna’s many talents is twirling. She is head ♦wirier and has been head major- ette since 1958. Delighted aud- iences have seen her twirl at basketball games since she was in the first grade. Deanna also shines in many other areas. She has been the winner of the ECC Typing I con- test. She is active in the Pep club, declamation, the National Honor Society and Luther Lea- gue. Among her numerous hon- ors are being chosen candidate for Homecoming Queen and a FHA Sweetheart candidate. Whenever Deanna finds some spare time she enjoys sewing or strumming on her uke and sing- ing with her brother. She also likes dancing and Spanish. Of all her thrilling experiences, Deanna’s most memorable ones were singing at All-State chorus and attending the State “B” bas- ketball tournament in 1961. After graduation she plans to attend Augustana college and travel abroad. Her ideal boy is one who has a good personality, manners and understanding, and is fun to be with. De Smet High School is lucky to have among its students a very talented individual who went to All-State chorus this year, is president of our chorus and was vice president of the Junior class. Couple this with activities such as Boy’s and Mixed chorus, bass solo, madrigal, octet, Student Council, NHS, debate, band, and a one-time benchwarmer of the Freshmen “C” team in basket- ball. You are now presented with our next Senior on Parade: Dick Poppen. Richard Edmond Poppen was born in Huron November 2, 1948, to Mr. and Mrs. Edmond Poppen. Ever since, this 6-foot, 155-pound, Extempors Compete At Watertown Contest Students taking part in the Ex- temporaneous Speaking contest at Watertown Sautrday were Mary Poppen, Rachael Roush, Carolyn Bowes, Mary Beth Kruse and Greg Algers. Mary Poppen received two su- perior ratings and went on to com- pete in the final round of the contest. Each of the students competed in two rounds of speaking in which Rachael received two good ratings; Carolyn a good and an excellent rating. Mary Beth re- ceived two excellents and Greg earned two goods in men’s speak- ing. — N — FHA Sweetheart Ball John Feuerstein showed the FHA’ers a film on careers follow- ing its business meeting Janu- ary 10. Candidates for the Sweetheart Ball were chosen, thos to be Feb- ruary 12. The hostess committee, consist- ing of Kay Rodney, Karen Paul- son. Suzanne Skyberg, Jane Smith and JoAnn Wendel had everything prepared and met all the girls at the door and wel- comed them. light brown-haired, blue-eyed Senior has been using his talents at school and will use them in the future, as his plans for the future are to attend Huron col- lege, later the Theological Semi- nary at the University of Du- buque, Iowa. A movie with Jonanthan Win- ters and Julie Andrews and a dance with the Rightous Brothers singing Unclaimed Melody would be Dick’s idea of entertainment. However, going to Mad, Mad World or hearing a song by Pe- tula Clark would be enjoyable. “Rats,” is his favorite saying, especially if he doesn’t get his favorite food—steak, or see a basketball or softball game. Dick’s advice to Freshmen is: “Although studying is important, don’t forget to make friends and join some of the activities. Your friends and activities can help make these four years the best of your life.” A full-time guidance counselor is Dick’s suggestion for improve- ment in DHS. The ideal girl friend for Dick is someone with a brilliant per- sonality, a sense of humor, an enjoyment of music, and an en- joyment of good clean fun. De Smet Hi NEW SETT E from The De Smet News, January 20, 1966 Barbara Wilkinson Named D. A. R. Candidate Barbara Wilkinson has been se- lected as the D, A. R. candidate from D. H. S. This award, spon- sored by the Daughters of the American Revolution, is given to a girl who meets certain quali- ties of a good citizen. These qual- ities are dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. Before January 7 the Seniors voted for any of five girls they thought possessed these char- acteristics. The high school fac- ulty then had to vote before Jan- uary 14 to select the top six candidates. Barbara, accepted by the Ad- mission Committee of Concordia College, Moorhead, Minn., was awarded its Merit Scholarship from $100 to $800. The amount of scholarship is to be applied to her freshman year at Concordia. — N — Two Debate Teams Compete at Watertown The affirmative debate team.

While at De Smet Mr. Feuer- stein taught biology, chemistry, physics, Typing I and has been part-time Guidance Counselor. He will be selling cameras for Traid Corporation, which is lo- cated in Minneapolis, but will continue to live in De Smet. Seniors on Parade Catherine Marie Rodney, known as Kay to her friends and classmates, has represented De Smet High School in many ways, but topping her list of memories and activities was being chosen as a Girl’s Stater. While she was at Mitchell she got right into the spirit of Girl’s State by winning the office of County Commis- sioner, with hard campaigning. Kay has also shown her out- standing abilities in debate by be- ing on the varsity debating team, which has brought many honors to D. H. S. On January 19, 1948, Mr. and Mrs. Lester Rodney became the proud parents of a baby girl, who has grown to stand five feet, five inches tall, with green eyes and dark brown hair. You can usually find her read- ink a book or listening to the radio with Dean Martin singing one of his songs. Of course you will always find her cheering for the Bulldogs at every basket- ball game, this her favorite sport. Although debate keeps Kay busy, she has a number of other activities — F. H. A., Annual Staff, Pep Club, and Library. A boy who is tall, considerate and has a pleasant personality better watch out, because this is her target for her ideal boy. After graduation, Kay plans to attend college and major in Li- brary Science. Attention all green and humble freshmen! “There’s more to school than book learning, so study hard, but don’t be a book- worm!” This is the advice our next Senior on Parade, Marvin Farr, gives. He was born to the Rev. and Mrs. Kenneth Farr on October 20, 1948. Today he is a tall, blue- eyed senior at D. H. S. “You said it. I didn’t,” is Marv’s favorite saying. Elvis Presley is his favorite singer, while the movie he liked best was The Ten Commandments. Declamation has been one of Marv’s favorite activities in high school. This year he had a hum- orous piece entitled “Confessions of a Minor Leaguer,” with which he won the local, district, and regional contests and went on to the state contest in Pierre. Some of his many other acti- vities include: N. H. S., chorus, vocal solo, band and Pep band, horn solo, debate, extempornaeous speaking, football and basketball. In his Junior year Marv was chosen as Bulldogs Win Conference Championship; Defeat Iroquois Chiefs 46-43 The De Smet team met the Iroquois Chiefs in the champion- ship game of the East Central Conference tournament Friday evening on the Lake Preston floor.

It weighed 7 pounds, 14 ounces and the item was the most happy- go-lucky girl in the world, Mary Irene Poppen. Mary grew to a 5 foot, 4% inch brunette-haired, hazel-eyed girl, with all the pep and ambition anyone could ever want. As she has become older she has stated some of the likes and dislikes she has acquired during her high school years. “Puppet on a String” is her favorite song and if she has time to listen to music she likes Tea- wana Brass. The television pro- gram she likes best is Big Val- ley. Mary has lots of talent when in declamation. She won the local poetry reading contest, and the district, regional and state this year. She is also active in de- bate, F. H. A., band, girl’s glee club, mixed chorus. N. H. S.. An- nual staff and Newsette.

Her favorite expression is: “You guys— Mary says that her ideal boy is “About 6 feet tall and has a great personality.” Mary’s advice to freshmen is: “Have fun but remember there are books, too.” She plans to attend Concordia College and major in Home Economics. “Watertown Business Univer- sity here I come!” This is what Joanne Elaine Holland plans to make come true next year. Her ambition is to be a good secre- tary upon graduating from W. B. U. She has gained some sec- retarial experience by helping Mr. Feuerstein in the Student Guidance Room. Typing letters and filing guidance material are two of the major duties perform- ed by her. Joanne’s hobby is going to dances and having a good time at anything she does. Because the James Bond movies are her fav- orites, she takes in all of them she can, and she also reads all the 007 books she can. Her fav- orite song is Summer Place. Steak, cooked in any way, is Win Over Hitchcock Came in Home Game The De Smet Bulldogs won over the Hitchcock Blue Jays Tuesday night, Jan. 18, on the De Smet floor, 63-51.

Mixed chorus, girl’s glee club, N. H. S., Pep club and M. Y. F. are the activities in which Jo- anne takes part. Prompting the Junior olass was her most memorable exper- ience in D. H.

Senior on Parade Wanted: A boy who is fun to be with, who has a nice person- ality, and who is thoughtful and considerate at all times. These qualities are the ones that would attract our next Senior on Par- ade, Carolyn Fay Bowes. Carolyn was born to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bowes on November 13, 1947, in Huron. Some of her favorites are: Movie, “All of Jerry Lewis’s mov- ies are tops with me!”; food, steak; hobby, dancing and going to dances; song, themes to Exodus and Summer Place. Activities Carolyn has partici- pated in during her high school year consist of: NHS, girl’s glee club. Pep club, FHA, Luther Lea- gue and 4-H. She has served as an officer in the three latter acti- vities. “People who talk all the time and won’t listen when you want to say something” is her pet peeve. ’’Freshmen, attention please! Study hard and try to keep your grades high, because they might determine whether or not you will be able to attend college after you graduate. Don’t for- get to have plenty of fun though, because you’ll soon realize how fast these four years really go.” Lact year’s Junior-Senior prom and the Junior class play are Carolyn’s most memorable high school experiences. Next fall Carolyn plans to at- tend the University of South Da- kota at Vermillion and major in either history, foreign languages or speech. — N — De Smet Tops Erwin For 12th Season Win De Smet defeated Erwin 62 to 58 on the home floor January 25, to stretch its winning streak to 12 straight games.

Seniors on Parade Our next Senior on Parade is Robert Edward Peckenpaugh, born to Mr. and Mrs. Francis Peckenpaugh Jan. 12, 1946, at Huron. Bob, as his friends call him, weighs 140 pounds, stands 5’6” tind has brown hair and brown eyes. Some of his likes and dislikes are: Food, steak; actor, Dean; and actress, Ann-Margaret. Bob’s favorite sport is football because there is plenty of action. If the show Blue Hawaii is in town you will surely find Bob and his ideal girl there. She must have a good sense of humor and a good personality. She must also like music and like to have fun. Bob’s favorite saying is “Oh Boy!” and people who always have their nose in other people’s business is his pet peeve. During his four years at D. H. S. Bob has taken a great interest in F. F. A. as his plans for the future include farming and rais- ing livestock. Because of his in- terest Bob has served as Presi- dent of F. F. A. this year. Bob is an active member in his church and belongs to C. Y. O. His advice to Freshmen is: “Make the best of your four years of high school; they don’t last long. Study hard!” “I plan to be the only bachelor of the Class of ’66,” says our next Senior on Parade, Lon Leslie Dannenbring. Lon was born on Jan. 30, 1947 at Parkston, South Dakota, to Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Dannenbring. If you happen to see a black and red ’59 Ford cruising around the street with Lon and a bunch of his friends in it, you can be sure that they’re out to have a time. While he is giving his friends a ride, he would probably be trying to talk them into go- ing to a dance, because that is one of his favorite pastimes. In- cluded in his list of favorites is working on the farm, which he greatly enjoys. Lon says, “My Freshman year at the Junior-Senior Prom and my trip to Kansas City this fall, as a F. F. A. delegate, are my most memorable experiences. Study to your best ability and don’t waste time—time is valu- able in high school, is the advice to Freshmen from this Senior. Lon plans to attend Wahpeton Vocational school in North Da- kota and take mechanics or re- frigeration. II T earns Take Part In Local Debate Tourney Eleven teams of Upper Da- kota debate conference held a tournament in De Smet Saturday.

Expanding the Spanish vocabu- lary of each student requires memorization and constant re- viewing. But don’t get the idea that learning the Spanish language is just the memorization of words! It has about the same structures as that of the English language. This means that the students have to understand pred- icate nouns, direct objects, and indirect objects. Besides learning why the struc- ture of a sentence is written a different way than English, the students have to learn when to use present and preterite tense verbs. The preterite tense in the Spanish language is about the same as the past tense in Eng- lish. De Smet Hi NEW SETT E from The De Smet News February 17, 1966 Five Local Music Students In Grand Concert At Region III Contst Eighteen firsts. 9 seconds and 5 recommendations to the Grand Concert were the rating given to De Smet students at the Region III music contest. Both vocal and band students participated in the exciting event. De Smet was the only school not to receive a three or lower rating in either the vocal or in- strumental divisions. This is very exceptional because there were over 900 contestants par- ticipating. The five recommended for the Grand Concert were Sue Graham, vocal and instrumental, Dick Green, vocal, Madrigal, and Mix- ed Octet. Sue and the Madrigal participated because only two could represent De Smet. Students, instructors and par- ents left at 6:45 a. m. and re- turned around midnight. Groups and soloists to receive firsts were Nancy Schultz, Linda Abrahamson, Sue Graham (2), Bonnie Belzer, Bob Springer, Dick Poppen, Lyle Anderson, Karen Paulson, Scott Purintun, Barbara Wilkinson, Rick Holm, Madrigal, Mixed Octet, Girl’s Triple Trio Clarinet Quartet and Percussion Ensemble. Receiving second place ratings were Debbie Hyink, Sandy Munger, Rick Holm, Bonnie Tingle, Marv Farr, Dianne Mc- Kibben, Deanna Muilenburg (2), and Ardis Taschner. The D. H. S. vocal and band instructors are Mr. Edwards and Mr. Winkle.

She was donned with the name Madonna Robanne. At the age of zero, she was about 15 inches, while now, at the age of 18, her height is 5 feet, 4 inches. Madonna’s likes are similar to others, for she prefers the color blue to others. The show “Shen- nadoa” is outstanding in her mind. She think Sean Connery (James Bond) is absolutely dreamy, and her favorite actress is Annette Funicello. Two more of her favorites are the song, “You Didn’t Have to Be So Nice” and pancakes. Her future plans include go- ing to Northern State Teachers College and becoming a kinder- garten teacher. Madonna dislikes people try- ing to be someone else because they are afraid to be them- selves. She prefers the kind of people who are nice and like to have fun, but can look at life in a serious mood, too. This year she has participated as librarian, Newsette co-editor, F. H. A. treasurer, N. H. S., An- nual staff and declamation. To Madonna, her Junior year was most memorable. Whenever you hear someone call “Andy” you know they must want our next Senior on Parade, the likeable Dave Anderson. Dave was bom Sept. 27, 1948 in Mitchell. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Roland Anderson. Dave is an innocent looking 5 ft., 8 inch, brown eyed boy, but he lists as one of his special in- terests finding mischief to get into. (And he does it). You might see Dave at any John Wayne movie with his ideal girl of about 5 feet, 3 inches in height, brown hair, brown eyes, good personality, and a ball to be with. In his four years of high school Dave’s most memorable exper- ience was the senior trip to Pierre to see hte Legislature in action. Dave enjoys sports and has been active as student manager and a member of the ‘“D” club during his four years at D. H. S. His advice to Freshmen is: “Make the most of high school— your future depends upon it.” Dave is deciding on one of two things for his future plans, either to attend North Dakota State School of Science or join the Armed Forces. Barbara Wilkinson Named County D. A. R. Candidate Miss Barbara Wilkinson was selected as the De Smet high school D. A. R. candidate, and went on to win the county con- test. In the county contest Barbara was required to submit a written theme and also to participate in a talent contest. She came out winner of both events. Barbara will now go on to the state contest. — N — Off the Blackboard For all you faithful readers who missed by column last week, I have a very legitimate excuse. I had to practice my solo for Mr. Edwards every day because he was worried that I would forget the words to Mary Had a Little Lamb. But I surprised him and got a first. Seriously though, our music department did a tremendous job by getting 18 firsts, 9 seconds and no thirds. And this is the greatest part of it all: De Smet had five recommendations for the Grand Concert and that is really something. While at the music contest I heard some of the craziest daffy- nitions, so I’ll let you in on a few: Chronological order is first los- ing your boy friend’s class ring and then losing your boyfriend. Bravery is being the first girl to wear a granny dress. Embarrassment is finding out that your boy friend’s ring is too small for your finger. Compromise is having an ugly boy friend who owns a sport’s car. Disorganization is one red dress, one nice boy, and one orange corsage. The Sweetheart’s Ball was quite a success and everybody seemed to have a good time except for one person. Me! Remember when I told you about the ter- rible time I had getting a date? Well, no one would go with me, so I went by myself. And guess who I found Walking around looking lonesome, too? My long lost cologny. I don’t know how he got there but I was sure glad to see him. Coming up in the near future is a wing-ding performance of “Oklahoma.” So everybody watch the papers for more news on this latest news! Mr. Chalk.

All food, decorations, and invita- tions were completely planned and carried out by the girls. The girls served red, white and blue fancy sandwiches, small decorat- ed cookies, candy, coffee and punch. The tea was given dur- ing the morning class period on February 15. With the tea the girls com- pleted their foods work and now will begin sewing. The third period class of Home Ec I has just finished sewing blouses to go with the shifts the girls previously made. They are working with cotton materials, putting on collars, sleeves, but- tons and buttonholes. These girls will soon begin their work in the foods lab. — N — Future Farmers Have Box Social To Entertain Fathers Dr. and Mrs. P. L. Scofield were guests at F. H. A. Monday, Feb. 14. They showed slides on the New England States. The March meeting will be a lot of fun, because the members’ fathers are invited. There will be a box social, the boxes auctioned off before lunch so everyone will have a father to eat with. The F. H. A. is looking forward to this event with a lot of ex- citment. Senior on Parade “Geronimo!” could be the slo- gan of our next Senior on Par- ade, Robert Dean Satter, as he charges down the football field. Measuring about 64-30-45 in his football uniform, “Bob” made a manly appearance each game this season, and enjoyed each game because this is his favorite sport. To highlight this year’s football season, he was crowned Home- coming King. However, Bob is a so interested in track and bas- ketball. In ordinary school life, Bob stands about 6 feet, 1 inch, weighs 175 pounds and has brown hair and eyes. He was born to Mr. and Mrs. Archie Satter at Ida Grove, Iowa. During high school, some of his activities have been secretary of the “D” club, Senior class vice president, Student Council mem- ber in his Junior year, and Pep club member. His main activity outside of school is president of the Luther League. Because Bob enjoyed being in the Junior class play last year, he expects to find his part in “Oklahoma” this year a lot of work, but fun, too. He enjoys listening to Her- man’s Hermits or seeing the show “Shenandoah.” His ideal girl has brown eyes and brown hair, is five foot eight, and who is a blast-and-ahalf to be with. — N — F. H. A. Sweetheart’s Ball Held February 12 Dancing to the music of the Shandoas dance band, the annual F. F. A. Sweetheart’s Ball was held February 12, in the high school gym from 8:00 to 12:00 p. m. Theme of the dance was Love Makes the World Go Round, with the decoration in traditional val- entine colors of red and white. This dance was unsual from others, because the girls asked the boys and also bought the tickets. Highlight of the evening was the crowning of Jackie Price, a Senior, as Miss Sweetheart, and Doyle Spader, a Junior, as Mr. Irresistable. An added feature to the Shan- doas band was the vocalist.

CHALK “Oklahoma! here we come!” Not in body but in mind, for the cast has been chosen for this fabulous musical and everyone is talking about it. Besides play talk, there is also game-talk as the Bulldogs are about to begin a week-end at the District tuornament. The go- ing looks good, and the Pep club is bursting with energy. I do have home good news for you—Easter vacation is only 43 days from now! Everybody welcomed the snow last week because we got out of a week of school! Not really, we only got out for a fourth of a day, but every litter bit helps. Guess what? I got to see the Globetrotters last week, but I was a little disappointed. Be- sides the conditions on the bus were kind of tight. But three big guvs like me in one seat, and what have you got? Try it some- time. and you’ll see. As I look out on the snow- filled driveway, my peaceful thoughts are shattered by, “Mr. Chalk get that driveway shovel- ed off!” So, as I shovel. I’ll be thinking of you as you read what I have written. So long until next week. Mr. Chalk De Smet Hi NEW SETT E from The De Smet News, March 3, 1966 BULLDOGS WIN DISTRICT 15 TITLE The De Smet Bulldogs put to- gether three games of hustling, good shoot ing tough rebounding to defend the title of District 15. The three games gave the school a trophy and a berth in the Region Four meet at Huron Arena March 2-3. De Smet ts Iroquois In the first game of District 15 play the Bulldogs met Iroquois, defeated twice earlier in the sea- son. The Bulldogs matched the Iro- quois team for two quarters on even terms, but in the second half outscored the Chiefs by 25 points. De Smet had a well balanced scoring attack as Arlen Wallum and Doyle Spader led the team with 14 points each. Vic Krause and Steve Kracht chipped in with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Krause and Wallum were tough off the boards with eight retrieves and Jery Hein stole the ball three times. Tulare is Defeated In Semi-Final Game In the semi-final game the Bulldogs defeated the Tulare Chieftains by a score of 65-57, to qualify for the championship game. The Bulldogs jumped to a 12- 10 lead in the first quarter, held the same two-point lead at half- time, pulled away in the second half for the victory. Doyle Spader led the victorious Bulldogs with 21 points and Jerry Hein and Vic Krause added 13 and 12, respectively. Krause had 10 rebounds and Rod Hildebrandt and Jerry Hein hed 5 and 4 points, respectively. Tough Bluejay Team Outpointed in Finals The championship game of the District 15 meet matched the same two teams that had battled for the title a year ago and again De Smet beat Hitchcock for the title. De Smet found out early in the game that they were up against a hot shooting and fired up band of Hitchcock Bluejays. The first quarter ended with Hitchcock on top, 23-18. At half time Hitchcock still led 35-32. In the third quarter some clutch shooting gave De Smet a 50-48 advantage. Hitchcock never gave up and fought it out right down to the final gun. Seniors on Parade “My Senior year has been by far the most memorable, es- pecially the trip our closs took to Pierre and the Sweetheart’s Ball.” This is the comment of our next Senior on Parade, Shirley Eileen Fox, made when asked what was her most memorable experience. Red-haired, brown-eyed, five- foot, six inch Shirley was bom to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fox on March 10, 1948, at Volga. She re- ports that at the time of her birth she weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces , but when she is asked about her present weight she has this to say: ‘T11 tell the first person who guesses it!” Shirley has been active in Fut- ure Homemakers of America for four years and to top off her abilities in this organization she was elected its secretary this year. Besides F. H. A she has participated in girl’s and mixed chorus and Pep club. She is also in the play “Oklahoma!” “A guy who is kind, naturally nice, and fun to be with; but mainly he must be unafraid to stand up for what he feels is right, disregarding what others think.” These characteristics are the ones that she feels her ideal boy must have. Shirley gives very good advice to the Freshmen with this state- ment: “Have fun in high school and make every day count, be- cause when you are a Senior and on the homeward stretch, you’re going to wish you were at the starting point again. Study hard!” Her ambition is to go ot St. John’s School of Nursing in Hur- on and then specialize in pedia- trics, if possible. Good looking, blond hair, standing five feet, five inches tall with blue eyes, and has a nice personality. That’s what our next Senior on Parade, Jim Larson, thinks of when he is asked about his ideal girl. He was born to Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Larson on March 14, 1948, at Lake Preston. Girls looking for their ideal image of a tall, dark, handsome guy, just might find Jim at the showing watching his favorite ac- tor, Sean Connery, or his favorite actress, Annette Funicello. Of course he could be riding around in his car listening to his favor- ite song. Lightning Strikes Again. Jim says his hobby is tinker- 400 Music Scholarship Granted Sue Graham At Huron College Sue Ann Graham, a Senior at De Smet high school, has been announced the recipient of a joint $400 scholarship at Huron Col- lege. She received the scholarship through the band and vocal de- partment at the college. A $200 scholarship was given by the college orchestra and an- other of like amount is based on the many musical activities in which she has participated. A $500.00 loan has also been given to her through the National Defense Act. Miss Graham will major in music at Huron. — N — New School Windows Please Assembly Students “No more wavy-looking win- dows!” This was an exclamation heard many times when the high school students saw the new win- dows across the Junior-Senior Assembly. Not only is there a clear view for daydreamers but those who are artistically inclined will no- tice the look of modernization that is added to the assembly. Hats off to the school board and De Smet Manufacturing Co., the contractor. — N — Schedule of Events March 3-4: Region 4 Tourna- ment, Huron. March 5: Debate, Volga. March 9: School board meeting.

When Jim was asked what he liked most about being a Senior, he said: “Only knowing that this is my last year in high school.” F. F. A. and Pep club are the activities Jim has taken part in, in high school. Attending South Dakota Voca- tional Technical School at Spring- filed are his future plans. “Study hard, but don’t forget to have fun, because these four years go by fast.” This is the ad- vice that Jim would give to the Freshmen. De Smet Hi NEWSETTE from The De Smet News, March 10, 1966 Bulldogs Downed 47-66 By Bryant in Region Play De Smet jumped to an early lead against Bryant in the reg- ional event, as Jerry Hein scored with 2:06 gone in the first quar- ter, and Vic Krause hit another field goal to give De Smet a 4-0 lead before Doug Currier counter- ed with the first Bryant score. De Smet lead most of the first quarter. With 44 seconds left in the first period, Jerry Hein scor- ed. But later Larry Noem made a field goal as the buzzer sound- ed to cut the Bulldog lead to 13- 10 at the end of the first quarter. Early in the second quarter Bryant scored two quick field goals before Arlen Wallum could sink one to give his team a one- point lead. From then on the lead jumped back and forth un- til Ken TTiue scored with 33 sec- onds left in the half, and Doug Currier stole the ball for an easy lay-up. Each team scored a field goal before the half, to give Bryant a 26-25 lead. The early moments of the third quarter saw another see-saw battle before Bryant took a five- point lead half way through the period. With 25 seconds left Ken Thue added to the Bryant lead with a free throw, but Steve Kracht scored at the buzzer to cut Bryant’s lead to four points, 39-35. In the fourth quarter the two teams exchanged field goals be- fore Jerry Hein connected on a long set shot with 5:55 left in the game, to bring the Bulldogs with- in two points of Bryant. De Smet then got several chances to tie the score but the attempts fell short each time. Bryant took advantage of De Smet’s cold streak and add- ed to their own lead until they were out in front by nine points. From there Bryant coasted in for a 66-47 victory. For De Smet, Jerry Hein pump- ed in 14 points and Doyle Spader added 12, while Win Noem and Doug Currier were the big guns for Bryant wtih 20 and 17 points respectively. Vic Krause had 17 rebounds and Doyle Spader four assists. The statistics tell the story as De Smet made but 22 shots out of 60 attempts from the field for 37% while Bryant hit on 25 of 54 for 46%. Bryant made 16 of 30 attempts from the free line while the Bull- dogs made a very poor 3 out of 12. Bryant made a clean sweep of the statistics by claiming 38 rebounds to the Bulldogs 31. Senior on Parade Well, if it isn’t another Senior! And listen to this ,all of you un- attached gals, it’s a Boy! I knew that would catch your eye! Read this description, and then you will know if he is what you have been looking for all along. He weighs 7 lbs., 8 oz. and— oh, excuse me gals, I didn’t mean to frighten you, that was his weight at birth! Now, let’s get down to the real facts you are looking for. He is a 6 foot, 1% inch, 160- pounder. with black hair and green eyes. He was bom in De Smet on October 13, 1947. Do you like basketball? You’re in luck because it has a lot of action. Basketball is also his fav- orite extra-curricular activity. Now for just a few more of his likes and dislikes. His favorite song is How Great Thou Art and his favorite movie is The Ten Commandments. When he has some spare time, you will find him working at his hobby, mechanics, or watching his favorite TV program, ‘Terry Mason.” He lists his favorite movie stars as singer, Elvis Pres- ley actor, James Stewart; and actress, Annette Funicello. While enjoying the previously mention- ed, you might find him eating his favorite food, fried chicken. He is always saying, “How can you tell?” Have you guessed whom you are reading about yet? Well, there are still a few more clues. His pet peeve is reckless driving. He advises the Freshmen to “Consider it a privilege to go to school, realize it early, and you are off to a good start.” When asked what his plans for the future were he said, “Truck- ing with my father.” His activities include: Vice president of his freshman class and a member of the M. Y. F. church group. Here is one last clue: His ideal girl friend is of average height, blonde hair, because “blondes have more fun,” and someone who is fun to be with. If you don’t fit this description, don’t worry because he might change his mind about the color of hair which has the most fun. Have you guessed yet? Well, I guess 1 11 have to tell yo uhten: It is none other than Richard Al- vin Klinkel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Klinkel. — N — Senior on Parade Our next Senior on Parade is Freshmen Girls Now Take Physical Education Attention! Push-up: Ready, start, 1-2-3-4. These are the sounds you would hear if you were to drop in on the girl’s physical education class taught by Mr. McCaskell. The class is held in the gym Mondays and Wednesdays at 3:00. The girls start their class with 10 minutes of calisthenics follow- ed by other activities. At the present time they are tumbling. In tumbling they learn how to stand on their heads, turn sum- mersaults and cartwheels, and do backbends. In the first part of the school year the girls played softball, football and basketball. They divided into teams and the losing team had to run laps around the gym. William Lee Jensen, bom May 13, 1948, in Huron to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jensen. Will Black Africa go to war over the dispute in Rhodesia? This is a question that might be asked of Bill in an extempor- aneous speaking contest. Bill has also been very active in debate and declam throughout his high school years because of his in- terest in speaking. Besides his speaking activities, he has been in band, chorus. Pep club, Oklahoma, NHS plays and the Junior class play. Bill says his most memorable experience was being elected the presiding judge of the Supreme Court at Boy’s State, which en- abled him to swear in the Gover- nor of Boy’s State at a joint ses- sion of Congress. “What lies before you and be- hind you is small compared with what lies within you. Remember that, and your life will seem worthwhile.” This is his advice to the Freshmen who have three more years of school left to ac- complish what they work for. Bill also has some extra-cur- ricular activities outside of school life. The first one is his ideal girl who is five feet, six inches tall, has blue eyes, brown hair, and is fun to be with. His second activity is dual, card playing and pool. Bill’s favorite song is The Men in My Little Girl’s Life and his favorite color is green, as in money. As you can see by his activi- ties and accomplishments Bill has good reason to attend South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in the future. De Smet Hi NEW SETT E from The De Smet News, March 17, 1966 What’s What in Home Economics Night April 1 Now’s your chance to find out what a Home Economics depart- ment includes! The Senior home economics girls have decided to sponsor a What’s What in Home Economics night April 1, starting at 7:30 in the gym. The reason for having the pro- ject is that the girls want to make enough money to improve the Home Economics department in some way, such as curtains, or recovering the sofa. Committees have been set up with an over-all chariman in charge, Mary Beth Kruse. So to all persons inter- ested in the Home Economics field, or in the latest fabrics, sew- ing or cooking methods or in a style show may attend the pro- gram on April 1. — N — Coming Events March 18: Project Night, Home Talent play.

From now on, though, the boys will have to use snakes if they want to frighten the girls in this year’s biology class. The reason is that this class is now studying about the worm. These biology students, under the instruction of Mr. Mund- henke, have learned the three principle types of worms. The first type of worm is hte free living worm. An example of this type is the planaria. The second type of worm is the parasitic worm. Some examples of this are the tapeworm and the round worm. The third type of worm is the common earth worm. The structure of each type of these worms is also being studied and compared. Finally, the students are learn- ing how the worm affects other living organisms in the world. Senior on Parade Wit and humor is a natural, bom part of Miss Mary Alice Kruse. The fact that she has 10 brothers and sisters to get along with might account for her pleas- ant attitude to everyone, includ- ing Freshmen. However, Freshmen do have to look up to her, not only because she is 5 feet, 11 inches tall, but because she is a very wise Sen- ior. And to all those humble Freshmen she has this to say: “Make the most of your high school days, because the direction in which an education starts a person will determine his future life.” During her four years at D. H. S., Mary felt that having a part in the Junior class play and dec- crating for the Senior prom head- ed her list of memories. Now let’s see what she likes to do at the present time. Mary likes nothing better than to eat shrimp, listen to You’ll Never Walk Alone, to see the movie Charades or to watch her favorite actor and actress, Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. Mary’s future looks rosy with plans to attend General Beadle State Teachers college and major in elementary education. After she receives her bachelor of arts degree she may join the Peace Corps for a year. — N — Senior on Parade When boys are asked what their hobby is, they usually answer, ‘Teasing girls or just hanging around with the guys.” Well, Jerry Hein, our next Sen- ior on Parade, is no different, al- though the. girl he teases is his mother. Gerald Dean Hein was bom on September 6, 1948, at the Lake Preston hospital, to Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Hein. If you are watching a basket- ball game, and you see someone stealing the ball, racing toward De Smet’s basket, stopping about 25 feet from the basket and mak- ing two points, you know he has to be Jerry. Besides basketball, he has participated in football and track all four years of high school, along with being in Pep club and “D” club. He was a candidate for Home- coming King in his Senior year, and was also a candidate for Mr. Irresistible. Besides his school activities, Jerry is active in the local Methodist Youth Fellow- ship. He said his most memorable Classes of the Week In English literature for the most part of this nine weeks, the Freshman class has studied the Odyssey, by Homer, and other works. After studying literature, the students are spending the rest of their time preparing a 1200-word term paper, which is to be writ- ten soon. In order to help the class understand how to use the library, it was “toured” by the Freshmen with their instructor, Mr. Edwards, as guide. Mr. Edwards is giving them a few practice papers of approxi- mately 200 to 300 words, before they write their final term paper. Mr. Edwards feels the end re- sults will be much more accept- able. Unit Eight is in the spotlight of American History students this nine weeks. The area in time covered by this unit is 1900 to 1920. The Juniors have taken the United States as it gained an empire in the Carribbean and Pacific, to the extending of the United States influence in China, Japan, Russia and European countries. Study of the world map has been of prime importance because it is necessary to know where the countries are that the United States is connected with. Stress has also been put on Presidents McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson. At present World War I is the chief responsibility in this unit. However, it also covered the pass- age of woman’s suffrage and the prohibition amendments. experience in high school was playing in the Region IV cham- pionship game two years ago. Jerry’s favorite food is shrimp, and his favorite actor and actress are John Wayne and Sandra Dee. His favorite song is My Love. His advice to Freshmen is “Study hard, like I didn’t, but have fun because it goes fast.” His ideal girl is 5 foot, 6 in- ches tall, with blue eyes, dark hair, a good figure, weighs about 120 pounds, and is a lot of fun to be with. To girls whom the above description fits, all that can be said is: “Gee, what luck!” Jerry’s future plans are to at- tend college or to attend barber- ing school in Sioux Falls or in Sioux City, Iowa . De Smet Hi NEW SETT E from The De Smet News, March 24, 1966 Mary Poppen to State Competition, Following Contest at Arlington Six excited debate students and their coach, Mrs. Wolkow, went to Arlington Monday, March 14, for the Regional debate contest. The affirmative tea mof Kay Rodney and Arden Wallum, the negative team of Dick Green and Dave Hyink, and extemporeanous speakers, Mary Poppen and Bill Jensen, competed against Arling- ton, Egan, Clear Lake, Doland, Sioux Falls and Groton. The debate team won its way into the semi-final rounds, where it was defeated by Groton. Mary Poppen won her way into the state debate tournament as an extemporizer. Bill Jensen also extemporized and Dick Green gave his original oration. — N — Cast for Oklahoma” Learning Old Dances One, two, three! One, two, three! Slide, two, three! is heard echoing and re-echoing every Sunday afternoon in the National Guard Armory. Gone are the days of the jerk, frug, swim, and watusi. The pages of time have been turned back to the waltz, the square dance, and the two- step. Despite aching muscles and tired joints the dancers are mak- ing progress with only two rou- tines yet to be learned. — N — FHA Entertain Fathers; Box Lunch Enjoyed “Daddy Date Night” is the night many FHA’ers look for- ward to, and on March 14th they invited their fathers to attend a chapter meeting with them. Plans for the Regional FHA convention were discussed. The convention is scheduled for Wil- low Lake on March 21. After the regular meeting, there was a basket social with the boxes decorated in many different and original ways. The fathers bought the boxes, which contained their lunches for any- where from 1 to 25 cents. The prize for the most original box was awarded to Patty Poppen. hers decorated as a Stop sign with the slogan Stop and Ap- preciate Our Dads. The fathers voted on the one they thought the most original. The program featured Robert Bell, M. D., who gave a talk on physical and mental health. Senior on Parade The other night who do you suppose was seen driving the lat- est limousine—a 1949, greenish- grayish Studebaker? It was no other than the jolliest girl in DHS, Miss Irene Kay Dugdale. This well-known Senior was bom in Lake Preston to Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Dugdale on October 17, 1948. Ever since, this five feet, 2% inch tall, light brown haired, blue-eyed girl has been thrilling everyone with clever ideas, such as “Wooly Bully’s” make-up for the basketball games. If you want to see her—well, your best bet would be to go to a movie starring Suzanne Plesh- ette and Troy Donahue, or listen- ing to her favorite song My Love, by Petula Clark. Other places you might find her are at a bas- ketball game, the show “Shenan- doah,” a restaurant serving shrimp, or at a dance starring the Shandoahs. When asked what her weight and favorite saying were, she promptly replied: ‘Tf you can’t buss by looking, you don’t need to know,” (lweight). and “I have no special saying, I just love to talk. On the serious side, she says her most memorable experience was the Junior-Senior Prom of 1965. Irene’s advice to the Freshmen is: “Your years at D. H. S. go fast, so make the best of what’s left.” Her knight in shining armor would be 5 foot, 11 inches or six feet tall, dark hair, brown eyes, a sense of good humor, and a knack for having a good time. Anyone answering this descrip- tion should put on his armor and ride over on his white charger, immediately. Today’s Senior on Parade has participated in band, vocal music, Pep club, FHA, declamation, Jun- ior class play, Oklahoma, as band librarian and on the Newsette and Annual staffs. Last, but not least, Irene’s future plans are to be an ele- mentary teacher or a member of the Peace Corps. — N — Coming Events March 25: Four-H Speech, at Armory. March 28: School Board elec- tion.

These are topics the students in speech class can use for their persuasive speeches. The purpose of a persuasive speech is to convince the aud- ience that the speaker’s point of view is right. The students in speech class have also given informative and impromptu speeches. Informa- tive speeches tell the audience about something new, or new facts about an old subject. Im- promptu speeches are given with- out opportunity for preparation and are used to help a person express himself if called on un- expectedly. The students have also given pet peeve speeches and sympos- iums. The pet peeve speech is used to help the students show emotions in their speeches. A symposium is like a panel dis- cussion and three or four stu- dents are on each panel. The purpose of speech is to better students in self expression and to give them self confidence.

De Smet Hi NEW SETT E from Th« De Smet News, April 7, 1966 Mary Poppen Wins Third In State Speech Meet Mary Poppen has added an- other trophy to her collection, bringing the total to four for the year This Senior deserves all the credit she has received because it is hard to change from poetry reading to extemporan- eous speaking. Anyone who can do this and still win has accom- plished an improbable feat and thereby ranks in that wonderful circle of competitors who are the best in the state. Mary has been the spark plug of the whole speech program this year and has added prestige and honor to the school with her great success in statewide competition. Also attending the contest were Arden Wallum, Kay Rodney, David Hyink and Dick Green of the debate squad; who narrowly missed being in the competition. This has been De Smet’s best year in speech in a long time. Credit also belongs to Mrs. Wol- kow, who has slaved to make winners out of all the group. De Smet has a winner in Mary Poppen. All this Junior can say is, “We can have more winners in 1966-67.” — N — Easter Vacation Starts Friday Afternoon, April 7 The students of D. H. S. will all have their eyes on the clock, April 7, patiently waiting for 2:30 p. m. to come. At this time you may hear shouts of ecstasy, as everyone rushes to the door— even the teachers. This will be the start of the Easter vacation. Easter vacation will be spent in many ways. Some students will visit relatives, help clean house, sew, fix or wash cars, and recuperate from extra activities. Sunday will be when every- one attends church from 6:00 a. m all through the day. New Eas- ter outfits will bring out the spring thoughts of everyone. At 9:00 a. m. Tuesday, April 12, all these joyous students will return back to the grind of studying. — N — Coming Band Events April 1-6: Bobby Springer, Debbie Hyink and Scott Purintun attending the Mid-East concert with Mr. Winkle, at Pittsburgh.

Donna Olson, chairman of F. H. A. Week, and her committee, outlined a week of observance to the D. H. S. organization. On Monday each girl wore a tag with a house made out of the letters F. H. A. Several girls also gave a program on the F. H. A. Creed and the tools which make a good F. H. A.’er. Tuesday the halls were flood- ed with girls wearing red and white, in observance of the F. H. A. colors. “Be Good to Teacher Day” was observed Wednesday with each teacher receiving a red rose. The red rose is the flower of F. H. A. The girls also wore their F. H. A. pins. “Boy, you look sharp!” “Did you get a new dress?” ‘Doesn’t she look pretty?” These were the comments heard Thursday, dress- up day. “No Gripe Day!” If any F. H. A.’er was caught griping she had to pay 5c to the F. H. A. treas- ury. And a lot of girls got caught! As the finale of a fine F. H. A. Week, the Senior Home Econ- omics girls sponsored a style show, with demonstrations and displays, entitled “What’s What in Home Economics.” The other Home Economics classes were a big help in making the night a success. April 16: Contest at Brookings for band and vocal groups. Track Squad Shaping Up; Six Senior lettermen The track squad that has been burning the cinders for about 2Vz weeks, is starting to get into shape. It looks like they are coming along fine and should be ready for the first meet, to be held at Redfield April 15. The following day they will go to Watertown for the Watoma Re- lays. There are 38 boys out for track, including 15 returning lettermen. The Senior lettermen are Steve Kracht, Vic Krause, Bill O’Keefe, Jerry Hein, Marvin Farr and Greg Skyberg. Junior lettermen are Ed Heit- man, Bill Purrington, Arlen Wal- lum, Arden Wallum, Rod Hilde- brandt, Ron Huisenga, Rick Holm and Jim Wika. Jim Johnson is the only Sophomore letterman. Along with the veterans there are 15 Junior Varsity lettermen out. The season looks bright with so many lettermen returning. Mr. Monroe commented, “We will be fairly strong in the run- ning events this year.” The other day Mr. Monroe was calling roll after an exceptionally tough workout. It was very hot and the boys were really tried. He read off the names until he got to one name and nobody answered. He called his name again, but still no reply was heard. He then asked if anyone knew where the missing boy was. Finally another boy answer- ed, “Coach I think he is getting married this afternoon.” From the outer fringes of the group came a tired drawl, “Some guys will go to any length to get out of track around here.” — N — New Terms, Problems For Trigonometry Students Sine, cosine, tangent, logari- thms. These are some the terms that eight lucky students just know and find how to work in DHS’s highest mathematics course, trigonometry. These five seniors and three juniors are be- ing taught by Mr. Meeder. Trigonometry is derived from two Greek words meaning “tri- angle measurment.” Its chief pur- pose is a study of the relation- ship between the angles and sides of a triangle. They have first learned trigon- ometric functions, then how to figure logarithms, and are go- ing to apply the trigonometric functioning to find distances and angles of triangles. De Smet Hi NEWSETTE from The De Smet News APrU 14’ 1966 Next Year’s Subjects Already Been Chosen In New Procedure A decisive day for all the Jun- iors, Sophomores and Freshmen came on April 5. This was the day when all the registration slips were due for the next school year. This year something new has been tried for added efficiency. The students are registering the last nine weeks instead of wait- ing until summer. As each student decided what subjects he would sign up for, he had to remember that 16 units are required in order to gradu- ate from De Smet high school. Of these units, four of English are required, one of science and one of mathematics, two of soc- ial science. Eight units of elec- tive subjects are required. Every students must carry four subjects every year. A few of the students carry five. The big decision has been made by the students and they can look fro ward to next year with- out too much worry. — N — Calendar of Events April 15: Redfield Relays. April 25: Hickory Stick Meet- ing, Lake Preston. April 26: Conference Track Meet, Brookings. April 27: Commercial Contest, Arlington. April 29-30: “Oklahoma.” — N — Move It! Move It! Encourages Dash Runners Move it! Move it! Move it! This may sound like Gomer Pyle’s sergeant, but it’s really Mr. Mc- Caskell giving the Freshmen boys a little encouragement as they run the 50-yard dash. Every Tuesday and Thursday the boys find themselves doing sit-ups, push-ups, and other exer- cises. Since the weather has warmed up the boys have been out on the track field doing broad jumps and running relays and dashes. They have also been tak- ing physical education tests. They do such things as dashes and the throwing of a softball and their scores are compared to the boys all over the states. During the school year the boys have participated in basketball, softball and tumbling. The class offers the boys good exercise and helps them learn to get along with others. Senior on Parade Ambitious, active, and one who accomplishes whatever he sets out to do, are adjectives modify- ing our Senior for this week, David Sckerl. He was bom on October 14, 1948, and ever since he has been growing, learning, and maturing into the fine guy he is today. David is 5 ft., 9 6 inches tall, weighs 145 pounds , and has brown hair and eyes. David is in many activities, some of which are F. F. A., in which he is doing very well. He has also received many awards and has participated in many 4-H activities. Some of his favorites are: Song, Green Beret; dance band, Beatles; saying, Shazan; singer, Elvis Presley; actor, John Wayne; actress, Doris Day; food, steak; show, “A Shot in the Dark;” and sport, basketball. David describes his ideal girl as 5 foot, 7 inches, with dark hair and brown eyes. She should be fun to be with, and have a good personality. “Study hard and get good grades, but don’t forget have lots of fun,” is the advice David gives to the Freshmen. David’s plans for the future in- clude going to South Dakota State University. — N — Off the Blackboard Hello again fans! It’s been quite a spell since my column has been in The Newsette. Many things have been keep- ing me busy lately. The Prom is my main headache. I sure hope we get it done in time. We realize thoug it could never be as good as last year’s! That was the best prom I’ve ever seen! “Oklahoma” is taking up the rest of my time. I am getting hoarse from shouting and singing so much. Speaking of “Oklahoma,” things are starting to get very interest- ing! They are practicing the love scenes. Wow, is that fun to watch! Laurey, Curley, Will, Ado Annie, Ali Hakim and Ger- tie are getting all practiced up so they can do a good job April 29-30. Aside from these scenes there are many interesting parts. There are gang fights, murders, dances, songs, jokes, marriages, and court trials. “Oklahoma” should prove to be very good and very interesting. In it there are many songs, one of which is The Surrey With the Graduation Nearing; Announcements Ordered Graduation is nearing as the 46 seniors ordered their an- nouncements last week, having agreed unanimously on the an- nouncement they wanted. Everyone is anxiously waiting for the announcements to arrive, for that means the Seniors are one step closer to graduation. Fringe on Top. This reminded me of a joke I once heard. There was a doctor in a small town who had just opened the door to his office one morning. As he walked in he noticed a small, fuzzy animal following him. He bent down and picked up the frightened little animal and be- gan examining him. Sticking in his back was a hypodermic needle! This amazed the doctor considerably. When asked about the little animal the doctor re- plied, “That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a Furry With a Sringe on Top!” Monday I had quite a surprise. I came to school a little late, and as I rushed into the Government room I found that no one was there. The room was piled full of new cabinets for the chem- istry lab. Later in the day as I went to World History I just happened to get into American History. Next period I went to Shorthand and ended up sitting through American History again! Don’t get me wrong: I like Mr. Monroe, but all of last year and then twice in a row this year was too much. I decided just to go back to the Sophomore home room and sit the rest of the day, only I just happened to run into World History when I got there. An old timer like me just can’t take a big change. I am on my way to the nut- house now because all I have been seeing all day is Punky for Treasurer, in brilliant colored letters. Speaking of mottos, you have all heard the one on KOMA about Stick with Glick! There is a girl in high school who has re- vised that a little bit to fit her own personal taste. Instead of the above mentioned motto, heris reads Stick with Rick! Until next?? Mr. Chalk. De Smet Hi NEW SETT E The De Smet News' April 21 1966 Perfect Record at Region Music Contest For De Smet School “We did it! All the hard work was worth it! Now maybe we can relax!” These comments along with congratulations were heard from the band and choral members upon receiving Superiors in all divisions at the Region Three large group music contest. Bright and early Saturday, three De Smet school buses filled with 105 hopeful band and chorus members left De Smet on their way to Brookings. Since De Smet has more than 200 students in its school, the groups are entered in the Class A division and compete against such schools as Brookings, Volga, Ar- lington and Clear Lake. The day started out in the right direction when the band gave an outstanding performance of their three numbers to become the first group from De Smet to re- ceive a No. One rating, which is a Superior. The next appearance of the De Smet students was by the 59 members of the Girl’s Glee Club, who sang two songs. They also received a Superior. After the noon break the Mix- ed Chorus and Boy’s Glee Club gave tremendous performances. Both came out on top with Su- periors. Both Mr. Winkle, the band di- rector, and Mr. Edwards, the vo- cal instructor, congratulated the students for a fine representation of their school and once again the three buses were on their way. By receiving four Superiors the De Smet students fulfilled their goals. But as for being able to relax—not yet! Now the chorus can turn its full attention to the presentation of the musical, “Ok- lahoma,” on April 29-30 By receiving these Superiors at the contest the students have shown that the “Oklahoma” aud- ience can expect two nights of superior entertainment. — N — Calendar of Events April 25: Hickory Stick meet- ing at Lake Preston.

Senior on Parade Eighteen years ago on March 23, 1948, at the Huron hospital history was being made. What was the occasion? Donna Olson had just become the daughter of her proud parents, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Olson. Over the years Donna has grown to a height of 5 feet, inches. She has brown hair and brown eyes which add to her good personality. Donna’s ideal boy is 5 foot, 10 inches, any color of hair, any color of eyes, fun, considerate, and kind. Her favorite hobbies are reading and just plain goof- ing off. Doris Day and Glenn Ford are her favorite actress and actor. Eating pizza and listening to Everybody Loves Somebody is what she likes to eat and listen to. Her most memorable exper- ience in high school has been the Junior-Senior prom that her class was in charge of. Donnna’s advice to Freshmen is, “Study hard and make the most of your high school days because they really go fast.” When asked what she thought would be the best way to spend a day Donna answered, “Eating and sleeping all day, but at night, who knows?” Donna plans to attend South Dakota State University and major in political science. — N — FHA Elects Officers For Coming Year While eating a sack lunch on Wednesday, April 13, the FHA’ers listened to campaign speeches for officers for the coming year. Chosen were: President, Susan Schwartz; vice president, Diane McKibben; secretary, Darlene Smith; treasurer, Beth Belzer; parlimentarian, Ruth Ann Ar- ends; historian, Portia Dannen- bring; reporter, Maureen Cum- mins; and song leader, Bonnie Tingle. What FHA Means To Me By JoAnn Wendel To face the future with courage and hope, And the will to succeed when we try, These are the goals of F. H. A. The goals that we all live by. To emphasize what homemaking means, In home and community life, To promote good will with our neighbors abroad, In times of peace and of strife. Annual Music Concert Pleased Local Audience “There’s Music in the Evening.” That is probably what most of the local people thought Wed- nesday, April 13, as they listened to the annual high school music concert at the auditorium. The theme for the concert was “Music in the Air,” a derivative from one of the songs the girl’s chorus sang to start off the con- cert. The vocal section was first to entertain the audience with the concert band following. The audi- torium was decorated with door- way streamers, streamers on the stage to represent a music staff with notes, and robins also on the stage. The audience enjoyed the con- cert and the choruses and band enjoyed presenting it, in prepara- tion for the music contest April 16 at Brookings. To provide our youth with recre- ation, And make them worthy adults, To learn to praise our neigh- bors good, And forgive them all their faults. To prove the value of Home Economics To our family and our friends; To constructively use our time and money And enjoy every moment we spend. To value our friends And respect what they do, To do unto them As you’d want them to do unto you. Red for strength, white for sincerity, These are our colors true and pure. We follow our motto, “Toward New Horizons” In planning for America’s future. To understand what F. H. A. means And live up to all that it stands for. To do all we can to help a friend And then try to do a little more. Making our school and community Places we can all be proud of. Places where everyone is cheery and friendly And shows his brotherly love. This is what F. H. A. means to me, Improving the world each day, And if I were elected President, I’d try to keep it that way.

This jawed t tafcf a lift at endurance nr th pan rf the girls MR. CHALK Hello fans! History was written into the annals of D. H. S. this year. The Junior class had the unmitigated gall to invite themselves to their own prom! This was due to a slight blunder resulting in order- ing too many invitations. One of my sources of informa- tion informs me of a slight ag- gression-retaliation between the Sophomore girls and the upper classmen. The contention of de- bate is the question: “Resolved, that only the upper classmen wear long formals.’’ To the boys this seems silly; they have their own preference. Last year strap- less evening gowns were “in;” this year the boys would like to see gown-less evening straps. Some girls anticipate a hair pull- ing contest as a means of WAR. This may prove to be interesting because their hairdresser may not be the only one to know for sure. As of the moment, no one is going to the prom (with a date). In spite of all my snooping around I cannot seem to find anyone who has a date. I have asked four or five girls, but they all wanted to go with a boy. I’d take this time to mention Senior Skip Day, but we’re not even going to tell the teachers when we’re going. When the most wonderful class in school is not present, they’ll know we’re gone! You may all remember the lat- est slogan of a certain girl from the Senior class, that being “Stick with Rick.” BUI O’Keefe has come up with a longer but better one. I quote Mr O’Keefe when I say. “Don’t fall for that Happiness is a warm puppy stuff; Happiness is watching TV at your girl’s house during a power failure “ Accord- ing to my latest estimate he should know!
