I'm sure you all must know that this is none other than Roberta Lynn Han- sen. This well known Senior was born in St. John's Hospital, Huron, to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hansen on August 5, 1952. A majority of her extra activ- ities are centered around music. It is found she has really put her voice and baritone horn to use in her four years of high school: All-State chorus, 2, 3, 4; mixed chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4; girl's glee club, 1, 2, 3, 4;chor- aleers, 2, 3, 4; mixed ensemble, 2, 3; voice solo, 3, 4; All-School play, 3; Junior Class play, 3; music librarian; declamation, 1; band, 1, 2, 3, 4; Brass Sextet, 3; and horn solo, 1. Besides these activities she has been in National Honor Society, 3, 4; Student Council, 4; Pep Club, 3, 4; and F. H. A. 1, 2. As busy as she is, she makes time to listen to the radio es- pecially when the song Is That All There Is? is playing or when either Bobby Goldsboro or Dionne Warwick are singing. Some of Roberta's other likes include: Food, shrimp; color, purple; TV show, Love, Ameri- can Style; movie, The Graduate; book, Flowers for Algernon; ac- tor, Steve McQueen; actress, Dor- is Day, subject, Speech— I love to talk! Roberta's advice to the Fresh- men: Do just as much study- ing as you need to pass, other- wise there's no time left for fun! It really gets to Roberta when someone keeps bugging her con- stantly about one thing. As foranidealboy: There's no one ideal boy as far as height, color of eyes or color of hair, Roberta says, but he must have consideration of oth- ers as well as himself and must be neat! Roberta is rather undecided yet as to what she's going to do, but with all her musical abilities she's thinking serious- ly of going into music.

They've been beaten only once as of late. They pass the ball and run so fast, Many people have found the team can't last. They have five great starters and great reserves too, For if someone gets tired there's always someone new. Their ability to shoot and the opponents isn't the same, While they average about 73, the opponents only get about 56 points per game. The way they play defense is really great, And they always play ball at a special rate. On and on through each game they roll, And because of their skill, they're ranked first in the poll. They have the best coach and the best school too, And they seem to have some special brew, That makes them the best team yet, You guessed it, they're the Bull- dogs of De Smet.

Clash, Hush, Maroon and Gold Days Held S Goldk?U‘h D,y- Mar°°” To get into the spirit of re- gional tournament Basketball action, the students of DHS had fun with Clash Day, Hush Day and Maroon and Gold Day. If someone from another school or even someone from downtown, had come to visit DHS, March 3, they would have had second thoughts about the good taste of the students and teachers. March 4 was Hush Day. It was very quiet in the halls of De Smet High School, because no girl could talk to a boy for the entire day! If a girl did slip or if she was tricked into saying something to a boy, she had to give him a Hush But- ton.” The boy with the most Hush Buttons would be Mr. Irresistable. By the end of the day it was evident that the girls of DHS couldn't resist talking to the ir- resistable boys. Maroon and Gold Day was held Thursday. A pep assem- bly at 2:35 found Mrs. Arden Rapp being crowned Miss Clash, and Jerry Pollock was Mr. Irresistable, as 130 girls had found it impossible not to speak to Jerry on Hush Day.

The Pool Hall Coach's Corner Everyone knows how success- ful De Smet's basketball team has been this year with a 21-1 record so far, and everyone is hoping for five more games. Just to let you know how the team is doing, De Smet has averaged 73 points per game as compared to §5 for the opponents. Randy Jencks has the best field goal percentage for he has made 150-230 for a 65 per cent average. If he could keep this up he would easily erase the record of 54 per cent held by somebody called Terry Long. From the free-throw line Rick Tibbetts is leading the way with a torrid 75 per cent, for he has made 63 of 84. He is also leading in another category which isn't quite as glamorous, that being he has the most per- sonal fouls. Randy Jencks is leading the point average with 18 points per game, 240 rebounds and 88 assists.

NEW SETTE (issue of Apr. 9) Turkey Dinner Attracted Many The aroma of roast turkey and its trimmings filled the Ete Smet High School auditorium as noon approached on Sun- day, with the Band Parents stag- ing the benefit dinner for the Win- nipeg trip of the high school band. A double line of hungry per- sons formed across the front of the auditorium and along the north side, soon lengthened across the west end and along the south side for some distance-- this situation continuing an hour and a half as the two rows filed past the buffet tables, served themselves with the turkey din- ner prepared by Blue Mound Catering Service, from Luverne, Minn., and were seated at the long tables. There was table space at all times as diners were served and seated. The buffet meal provided by the Luverne firm consisted of sliced turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, buttered car- rots, relishes and coffee and a cold drink. ENTERTAINMENT was provided during the dinner hour by the A” and B high school1 bands in an unusual concert- the musicians all standing before Director Jerry Lindbioom as he conducted, there being no chairs available. By one o'clock some 500 had been served, and the lines contin- ued. After a lull they formed again as 130 players at the bridge tournament came from De Smet National Guard Ar- mory for their meal, these pass- ing along the line in 20 minutes. THE AFTERNOON OVER 944 persons had been served the dinner for which adults had paid $2 when purchasing tickets in advance, $2.25 at the door, chil- dren $1.25. The band benefit had cleared $727.66 for the Winnipeg trip the latter part of June. The event had been well or- ganized, with the Band Parents organization, Mrs. Gene Gruen- hagen as president, choosing the menu, Blue Mound food trucks bringing the 26 turkeys that had been pre-cooked to a degree Sat- urday evening, with the timers set to complete the roasting Sun- day forenoon. Two men and three women ac- companied the trucks that ar- rived at 10:45, greeted by mem- bers of the Band Parents organi- zation, with committees appoint- ed to set the tables, assist in the serving of the buffet meal, refill coffee cups at the tables, clear and set the tables for diners yet to come. There had been food prepara- tion by Band Parents commit- tees, cabbage salad made for service in bowls on the tables, and pies made, to be wheeled along the tables for the diners to make their choice from a wide variety of soft and double crust pies. Working in shifts, adults of the band parent's oranization guided the diners to the tables, and assisted otherwise in hos- pitality at the event. Band mem- bers served the coffee and cold drinks at the tables. It proved a long afternoon for those in charge of the din- ner and dusk was falling as the auditorium was closed, the parked cars gone. The occasion had its social aspect in the many diners from over the county and even from greater distances, bringing re- unions of acquaintances along the lines and on the bleachers during the concerts. • • • SENIOR ON PARADE The State BVbothlastyear and this year are listed as Rick Tibbett’s most memorable exper- iences.
