De Smet High School and Auditorium We introduce our dear old Institution , De Smet High School De Smet, South Dakota To Which We Were Committeed For Ignorance of Certain Legal, Scientific, and Aesthetic Laws And In Which We Planned OUR ANNUAL THE BULLDOG Official Organ of the Institution We Refers to THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1967 De Smet, South Dakota 2 As in Life itself, we have found ourselves preoccupied with the three vital R ' s - - RES T RI C TIO N S, READJUSTMENTS and RECREA- TION; we have learned that restrictive as society may be, it gives more than it takes away; that readjustment is an interesting chal- lenge to our intelligence and adaptibili ty; and that recreation is an activity which refreshes us for work. All that we have seen, heard, or done has become a part of us; we leave this institution as changed i ndi vi du als--and no one can deny that the change was for the better !

A good example of this is the presentation of Oklahoma! that we put on in April of 1966. In this presentation there were involved many of the Class of 1966, I would like to mention their pres- ence in the production because we probably wouldn't have had the presentation without them. The feeling is that Oklahoma! is one of the most successful undertakings D. H. S. has had in recent years. During our Junior year there were also many other memorable events. We put on the 1966 Junior-Senior Prom with the theme of Cindrella's Ball. Our class was represented at Girl's State by Karen Paulson and Nancy Larson; at Boy's State by Rod Hildebrandt and Rick Holm. GIRL'S AND BOY'S STATE Left to Right: Rod Hildebrandt Nancy Larson Karen Paulson Rick Holm 1966 JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM Now we are covering the events that took place in 1966-67. On October 15, 1966, the Madrigal singers went down to the University of South Dakota to participate in a clinic. The picture shown is of a few of the members eating. On November 4, 1966, the Junior Class put on their class play, The Worm Shall Squirm. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY CAST U.S.D. MADRIGAL TRIP Covering the Homecoming of the 1966-67 school year, our roving camera paid special interest to the making of the 1st place float: The Senior Float. Let's take a look at a winning float being put together. STARTING FROM SCRATCH PUTTING ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES DOING THE FINER WORK FINISHED ! AND A JOB WELL DONE The Homecoming ceremonies proved to be a very successful event for D. H. S. King Keith Erickson and Queen Vicki Peschl reigned over the festivities. The court of the royalty was Jim Wika, Ardis Taschner, Rick Holm, Joleen Beck, David Hannah and Gwen Curley. The Senior Class won first place among the class foat competition and the F. H. A. won first place in the activities competition. The whole event wa$ topped off by a 20-6 victory in the game against Wessington Springs.

Float 2d prize activities Declam and Debate Float Saturday night, February 18, 1967, the F. H. A. put on the annual Sweetheart's Ball. Crowned Mr. Irresistible was Curt Wallum, and crowned Miss Sweetheart was Diane McKibben. That last time she kissed me she loosned one of my teeth. This year D.H.S. had a new innovation for an occasion. Each year we have had a Dress Up Day, now we are having a Dress Down Day. Our roving camera once again fills us in on the action. 'you should see us on dress-down day. Now in this here Re- vised Encyclopedia of Sex it says-- That's just where they wore out first. Our roving camera now takes you on an on the spot report of exactly what goes on in our classrooms. SOCIOLOGY: Hi, all you out there in television land! Is this the Nancy Taylor Charm Course? No, just English IV. HOME EC IV: Girls—the proper way to catch a boy is_ TRIGONOMETRY: You're never too old to learn. OFFICE MACHINE PRACTICE: 'You two in the front—quit flirting with that cameraman! CHEMISTRY: Notice to antique collectors: this is a rare photo Let's see. E me 2, no, that's her telephone number. SHORTHAND: Now the teachers can never read our notes! ENGLISH III: Get that innocent look off your face—who threw the spit wad? ALGEBRA II: Some people have learned to smile through anything. GEOMETRY: All right—what's going on back there? SPANISH: Going once, going twice— BOOKKEEPING About the only intergrated class in school! SHOP II: Well, boys, this is the muffler belt. ADVANCED SPEECH: Class will now come to order.

Freshmen girls watch eagerly as Mr. Sprang (??) demonstrates proper use of the trampoline. SHOP Is It's true—Pete is a hustler. GENERAL MATH: Sometimes general math presents a few problems! Too bad there isn't a Playboy in this book. Our roving camera got a little bit carried away, but anyway here is a good look at the rest of the school. Mr. Schwahm Under these hands is the greatest mind in the world! Other teachers: Oh yeah! When I was just a little girl. 5 Our Editor? Need a fix? I've got connections.

With all these reporters looking around corners, peeking through keyholes and listening through open doors and windows, you’ll be well aware of all the news. ... And School Begins The time is just about 8:30; the assembly is very quiet—t h e teachers are talking about the schedule. Then the 8:30 bell rings and 100 kids pile into assembly. Let’s take a peak at what is be- ing said. “Hey, you, where’s the seating chart?” “I’ve got it” “Let me have it.” “No, I’m looking at it.” “Then find out where I sit.” “No, look yourself.” “How can I, when you’re look- ing at it?” Now the teachers come in, hear the quarrel and walk over. “Kids, let’s quiet down, there’s room for everyone. Just find your seat and sit down.” Now everyone is sitting down and looking bright-eyed and bushytailed (ha). The teachers are trying to explain the schedule to those few (about 100 of us) who don’t understand it. The first bell finally rings and we all get to go to our classes, or whatever. Everything goes along fine un- til the 4th period, from 12:00 to 12:45, when those few of us have classes instead of dinner. We try to make it, although it’s hard to hear the teachers above your grumbling stomach. Finally the bell rings and Hmmm, it’s dinner time. Finally the end of the day ar- rives and we are pushed out the doors by the teachers. But don’t worry teachers, we’ll be back to- morrow. — N — 81 Students Enrolled In Vocal Music Program The vocal music program for De Smet High School has gotten under way, with tryouts complet- ed and singers chosen for the var- ious groups. The department is under the direction of David Ed- wards, in his third year on the faculty. A total of 81 students are en- rolled in the complete program— 58 in mixed chorus, 59 in girl’s glee club, 23 in boy’s glee club and 19 in the madrigal group. FIRST IN rehearsals for the year will be the madrigal group, which is to appear at the Univer- sity of South Dakota October 15, chosen as one of the guest per- forming groups for the universi- ty’s annual clinic. The local group will sing two madrigals in the contemporary idiom. Numbers chosen for presenta- tion are Jean Berger’s “My True- Homecoming Sept. 23 The high school groups have already started work on their floats for Homecoming.

The chorus event will be at Watertown November 4-5. The Junior High vocal music program has also begun, with 75 in the total program—51 in mix- ed chorus and 52 in girl’s glee club. This group has a lot of fun and the experience gained has made quite a difference in the high school groups as the children ad- vance. Some of the freshmen are pushing the upper-classmen for position in High School mixed chorus and glee club. De Smet Hi NEW SETT E from The De Smet News, September 22, 1966 Homecoming Tomorrow Homecoming begins its role in D.H.S. tonight (Thursday) at 7:30 in the school auditorium with the crowning of the royalty by Lau- ryce Blue and Gregg Alger, the Senior Class representatives.

Admission charge for the dance will be one dollar with school clothes being the dress for the evening. — N — Bulldogs Acquire Second Victory De Smet came out on top over Volga in a 20-0 victory. The best game for De Smet was defense. The entire defensive squad did a tremendous job of stopping the attack. The offensive team was lead by tremendous blocking. Ar- len Wallum.

As some of his favorites he lists teachers, Mr. McCaskell and Mrs. Wolkow; subject, Algebra; and hobbies, hunting and swim- ming. His ideal girl must have high ideals, a good personality and must be fun to be with. Looking in the past we find he has participated in football, 1, 2, 3, 4; basketball, 1, 2; track, 1, 2. 3; pep club, 1, 2, 3, 4; D” club, 2, 3, 4; Newsette, 1, 2, 3; debate, 3; Student Council, 4; production of Oklahoma, 3. As he leaves D.H.S. he plans to attend college, but he leaves this advice to underclassmen, “Have fun but remember to learn some- thing out of the textbooks.” — N — Senior on Parade Boy wanted: Must be very good-looking, have good taste, especially in clothes, like to “goof-off’ and fun to be with. This very special boy is wanted by Joleen Beck, born October 11, 1949 in Madison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Beck. Just to let you know a little bit more about Joleen, her favorites are: food, pizza; song. Cherish, by the Association; and pastime, lis- tening to the radio and dancing. Swimming, sewing and knitting are her hobbies; and chorus, de- clam and Newsette are her ac- tivities. If you’re still not sure you’re the right boy, just listen to this, “I’m going to be an airline stew- ardess and I’m planning on going to Stewardess School in Minne- sota.” How’s that for ambition? Joleen even manages to give a little advice to those green fresh- men: “Study hard, but have fun, too; it goes faster than you think.” Now, if you feel that you’re the right boy for Joleen, why don’t you try and get acquainted? But don’t be too disappointed if she looks at you and says “crummy”, her favorite saying. sent a concert in front of an au- dience of band directors from all over South Dakota, from every school and even from colleges. • Also planned is a concert tour by the band and Christmas and Spring concerts.

An addition of several new instruments gives the band the most complete in- strumentation in D.H.S. history. A brass clarinet and contra- bass clarinet have been added to accomplish a complete woodwind choir of clarinets and saxaphones. Coming events to watch for in the upcoming months are the Christmas Concert, a mid-winter concert, spring concert, and the South Dakota Bandmaster’s Con- cert, where D.H.S. will be the feature band. The band has start- ed ensembles and solos in prep- aration for the small groups con- test in February. A pep band of 20 students has been selected. Rick Holm, stu- dent director, is in charge of the group. During the summer and this far in the school year there has ben a complete revamping of the band library. Jill Grothe and sev- eral other students have worked on this. The band is also selling maga- zines again this year, with a goal of $1,000. The co-captains for the teams are: Mary Meyers and Bob- by Springer, Maroon; and Scott Purintun and Debbie Hyink. Gold. The band hopes to sell more magazines this year than it did last school year. — N — Study Hall I sit in study hall every day And listen to other students play. I have a book or two or three That to me are written in Greek, you see. At last! The study hall bell has rung But, alas, again it is the wrong one. I shoot from my desk like a bolt of lightning, And rush back to cover the note I’d been writing. Down the steps and out the door I go. I look up and look around But there’s no smoke to be seen or found. Oh well, what's a false alarm? (darn) I'm sitting in my desk again And wishing that my class wouldn’t begin. But there it goes, that stupid bell. And then my tummy doesn’t feel Senior on Parade On December 2, 1948, the sun shone just a little bit brighter. It was on this day that Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Anderson made their contribution to this year’s D.H.S. Senior class, with the birth of Lyle at the Lake Preston Hospi- tal. Lyle has been active in band. National Honor Society, and very active in F.F.A. His most mem- orable experience was going to the National F.F.A. Conventions in Kansas City, Mo., in 1964-65. and being in the National F.F.A Band in 1966. “Andy lists some of his fav- orites as: Food, anything but to- matoes; television program. MIC- KEY FINN’S; song, TASTE OF HONEY; color, green; saying. “That’s true.” After graduation Lyle plans to go to South Dakota State Univer- sity and major in Agricultural Business. In closing, this wise old Senior makes a final decree as advice for Freshmen, “Use as much pa- per for class notes as you do for study hall notes.” — N — Senior on Parade On February 27, 1949, in a not- ed town named Lake Preston, a wonderful thing happened in the Blachford family: Roberta Kay Blachford was born. Roberta is the charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Blachford. This 5-foot, 8-inch beauty has been in a number of various ac- tivities during her years at D.H.S. Some of them include: F.H.A., 1, 2, 3, 4; Annual Staff, 4; New-s ette Staff, 4; Pep Club. 1, 2, 3. 4. Roberta’s favorite hobbies are drawing and sewing. Her favor- ite food is steak, and she swoons to the song. Cherish, or to her fa- vorite singers. The Righteous Brothers. If the latest movie hap- pens to be starring James Gar- ner or Doris Day, you’ll find Ro- berta in the front row. When you’re with Roberta, you had better go along with what the rest of the gang says .because one thing she doesn’t like is peo- ple who try to run everybody and everything. When Roberta leaves D.H.S.. she will leave behind her a few wise words to the Freshmen: “Study hard and get good grades, but have a lot of fun, too. so well. I’m afraid the teacher will say: “You haven’t read your Chemistry for today! Dec lam Students Prepare for Contests “Fred, you’ve no right to play God!” “Dear Diary . . . “You’ve got to slow down!” If you’ve passed by Miss Mor- timer's or Mrs. Wolkow’s room lately, perhaps you have heard these statements. But don’t get too shook! it’s only the declam students practicing for upcoming contests. This year there are 35 students out for declam. Fifteen of these are in humorous. 13 in dramatics, 4 in poetry and 3 in oratory. The first contest is October 4. when the top four in dramatics and humorous will be chosen. They will then compete in the local elimination on October 10 with Miss Mary Berther of Mad- ison as judge. One winner in each of the four divisions will then be picked to represent De Smet at the District Contest. — N — Question of the Week What do you think polychro- matophilia means?

I sure have some juicy tid-bit of information to tell you. Janice and Danny have broken up again. It just goes to show that the path of true love never runs smooth. It seems that from all accounts Homecoming was a big success. Apparently someone in the audi- ence of the football game was so enthused they tore down a goal post. Lyle Bowes was such a sen- sation on the football field in the game against Wessington Springs that they came all the way from Huron to see him. NEWS FLASH! What pretty cheerleader has a De Smet Bull- dog barking at her heels? Did you know that one of the male teachers has the girl stu- dents commenting on his beauti- ful blue eyes? SCOOP! Just heard that Janice and Danny are back together again. Since De Smet’s football team has turned out to be a consistant winner, opposing teams are aim- ing at us as their prime target. To keep winning we must work all the harder on the field and off to prove we are REAL champ- ions. Tune in next week to the same bat chalk channel.

You save money that way.” Dennis Tingle: “ It’s okay as long as a girl asks you.” Mr. Drake “Girls should be able to ask boys for several rea- sons. First, girls can finally ask the guy they want to be with. Girls finally get a chance to see how much it costs to take someone out. Lastly, guys finally get a chance to say No. ” Mrs. Wolkow: I think they provide an interesting change.

I promised to reciprocate with an evaluation of the female species. The following is my estimation of the average De Smet girl: She (a) is a very high-spirited mechanism. (b) has a tendancy to get her wires crossed. (c) is a note-writing fiend, addicted to the habit of writing dumb things on paper during study halls to waste time. (d) is moodier and more un- stable than her counterpart (males). (e) has a habit of getting turns worded around. (f) falls in love at least five times a week. (g) has a tendancy to talk a lot and say nothing. (h) comes in handy every once in awhile. (i) can never admit defeat. (j) writes with a flowery light style. (k) hates: (1) intellectual eggheads. (2) boys she can’t ditch. (3) other flirting girls. (4) cheap perfume. (5) her old boy friend’s new girl friend. (6) lime flavored do-do bird tongue. I wish more of them liked characters who write dumb arti- cles.

Here are a few: I better start making the most of things now. • I think I might graduate after all.” I can't wait to get out of here. ” • College, here I come.” Leaving these kids--l feel my heart sob now!” But the underclassmen's re- marks are better yet He'll be leaving soon, and 1 haven't even gone with him' Now that the Senior boys are leaving 1 might have a better chance ” I can't wait until I can sit in the assembly' What if he finds another girl?” We need less competition, anyway.” A word to the wise.

Donovan, andthe Young Rascals His favorite movie was Help! and likes John Lennon as his favorite actor. Julie Andrews as his favorite actress, and the song Penny Lane. He was active in football, basketball, vice president of Camera Club, and lists playing in the State Teener baseball tourna- ment as his most memorable ex- perience. To all you girls out there. Tim has given a very general descrip- tion of his ideal girl: between 5 and 6 feet tall, brown or blue eyes, blond or brunette hair, and I also would like to add a sense of humor, for his pet peeve is people who don’t have it. Tim's advice to the frosh is: The best policy towards teachers is one of peaceful co-existence.” Tim will probably be using this next year when he attends college. -N- SENIOR ON PARADE On January 28. 1949. to the proud parents of Mr and Mrs. Milo Wallum.

Why let the most valuable thing you will ever have stop you? Oh well. I never was very per- suasive. Take my advice and study hard.” to quote him. Arden’s pet peeve is when you ask a person what he said and he replies with a ”Oh nothing ” His most memorable experience was his debate trip with Volga, my junior year.

SENIOR ON PARADE If you see a guy with brown hair and brown eyes walking out of one of his classes saying Gee, I'm disgusted you'll know it is David Hannah expressing his fa- vorite saying. Dave was born to Mr. and Mrs. Warren Hannah December 16, 1948, at the Lake Preston hospi- tal. Some of his likes are: sport, football; movie, Follow Me Boys; singer, Dean Martin; actor, John Wayne; actress, Suzanne Pleshett; color, royal blue. Dave's pet peeve is people who think they know everything and try to belittle people to prove it. His most memorable experi- ence is the 1966 football season. Start thinking of what you'll be doing in the future and plan your activities accordingly, is David's advice to the Freshmen. His activities include: football 1, 2, 3, 4; track 1, 2, 4; basketball 1; D Club 2, 3, 4; D Club sec- retary 4; Pep Club 1, 2, 3, 4; class vice president 1; Class presi- dent 2; Homecoming King candi- date 4. -N- SENIOR ON PARADE If you should happen to know of any beautiful girl, not too skinny, or too fat, with a wonder- ful personality, and shorter than David Ernest Geyer, our Senior on Parade, you might have found Dave's ideal girl. Some of Dave's other favorites are: food, pizza; movie, How the West Was Won; colors, blue and brown; actor, Dean Martin; act- ress, Ann Margaret; singers, The Righteous Brothers and The Su- premes. Dave likes any good dance band. He dislikes doing dishes, but his pet peeve is peo- ple who get mad over minor in- cidents. Dave was bom March 17, 1949, in Huron, and is the son of Ru- dolph C. Geyer. Dave has attended Boy's State and he is a lettcrman both in track and football. Besides being an active member in D Club, which includes football and track, Dave also participates in chorus. Dave advises Freshmen to Have fun while you can. -N- SENIOR ON PARADE This is secret agent .00000007 reporting. I've been following a suspicious character lately. I trailed the suspect to two movies, Blue Hawaii starring his favorite male singer, Elvis Presley and a movie starring his favorite actor, Vincent Price, and actress, Annette Funicello. Continuing the stake-out I fol- lowed him to a restaurant where he enjoyed his favorite food— swiss steak; and then to the near- est record shop where he looked at Leslie Gore records and records by the Monkees (note: he paid spe- cial attention to the song Baby, I Need Your Lovin'.) Then I heard him say, No fake, and I knew I had my man, namely our next Senior on Parade, Ed Heitman. From Ed's records I had dis- covered that he was born to Mr. and Mrs. Leo Heitman in De Smet, August 16, 1947. His high school record showed considerable participation in track-cross-coun- try, and basketball for three years. Ed was also a letterman, being in D Club four years. I then proceeded to interrogate the suspect and Ed answered the following questions in this man- ner: Future plans: Stay at home and work if not drafted. Advice to Freshmen: Study hard while in school, you can always goof off after school is out at 4:00. Pet Peeve: When you own your own car and someone is always nagging you to go ride around. -N- LARGE GROUPS COMPETE AT S.D.S.U.

I asked my dad last night If I could pierce my ears, ’cause that seems to be the latest craze. It’s like I told him; Everybody's doing it Well, he said if I put rings in my ears, I had to put one in my nose too. I told him I’d have to buy a set and a half to go with every dress. He told me to just pierce my nose, then I would only have to buy a half a set. That was a brillant deduction. The Juniors are acting very strange and hush-hush lately. I think they have their plans ”a- brewin” for the prom. Maybe we could turn one of the Juniors into an informer. Well, on second thought, that wouldn’t be such a good idea. I might be the one they would turn into the informer. Well. I'd better sign out so I won't slip and give some valuable information to the Seniors. A non-informer and U.F.O. watcher.

Books, like everything else, must be looked over first by the children and then by the parents. The only way to do this was to put the books on display for the par- ents.

Laurel Abrahamson. and Marcia Serfling were at P-T-A to help sell books.

Mr. Green: I feel that there are certain facts and records that should not be overlooked in de- ciding whether or not there are martians or aliens from another planet or universe. I feel that there are U.F.O.’s that are sometimes seen by some persons, but whether or not they are martians. is anoth- er question; so the answer to your question is no; because I really won’t believe until I have seen one. Gayle Larson: There are many other predictions which Jean Dickson is supposed to have made, but she has denied doing, so I won’t believe it until she says she did--and probably not then. Gary Lee Based on the as- sumption that this accusation might come true. I shall put the mental portion of m y anatomy in such a state that I will hope it is a joke. Donna B russe: It will add new history to the history books! (U it happens) . Dennis Peterson IdonCthink it will happen, but if It does, I think that everyone will fight even though there has been talk of the fun we could have without the older people. Karen Paulson: Sounds like a good idea for a vacation--but what on earth (or rather MARS) shall I wear?! Judy Ryland ’Til go on two conditions: That they have a Teen- Town and cars to bomb around in. Mickie Moe: Sounds spooky- but as long as we all go together it’ll be fine. Joann Pitman: It sounds scary, but I am grounded so it will be a good way to get out of the house. -N- F. H. A.
