Students commonly said this when things were going well. Slang was a part of the every day routine for a student at DHS. It was sometimes hard to know when someone was serious or just kidding. When someone wasn't sure how his or her friend took a slam or joke a common phrase to get out of trouble was Buds can joke.” Another comeback used by students was Don’t get nervous. This was sometimes told to teachers who were worried about a student getting his or her work done. Mr. Zeller would say to that student, Get to it and do it. When someone said someth- ing stupid they were usually told to Get a job. Nobody could get through a conversation with Farron Pratt without having heard his favorite two words, I'm sure. Because slang was a big part of the student life in DeSmet High School, the annual staff decided to save it for posterity by using slang as the theme for this year 's yearbook. John Kaiser turns to get the scoop on the menu. Because of the two-foot snow storm school was dismissed for three days. What a blast. Jodi Peterson, Trey Karlen and Karen Grothe are carrying on the tradition of throwing water balloons and soaping on the last day of school. I'll kill you! Reflections of 1984-85 Motley Crue, Prince, and Madonna headed the list of popular singers for 1984-85. Favorite movies included Rambo, Beverly Hills Cop and Gremlins. These days it cost $3.75 to see a movie. Pizza and Coke topped the list of favorite foods. Trivial Pursuit and Dungeons and Dragons were popular games. As usual, the town put on the Laura Ingalls Pageant with many high school students participat- ing. Tourists from all over the United States came to watch the performance. On the state level William Janklow was finishing his last term as governor. Two colleges closed this year, including Yank- ton College and University of South Dakota in Springfield which became a minimum security prison. The Ethiopian Famine was one of the top stories on the international scene. USA for Africa, which was headed by many top celebrities made a song to raise money for Ethiopia. They sent three million dollars to their aid. For the first time ever, a woman, Geraldine Ferraro, was nominated for Vice President. Ronald Reagan was re-elected for another term as President. A DeSmet school bus bites the dust after a heavy rainfall. Tom Daschle, South Dakota Representa- tive to Congress, was in town for Old Settlers Day. The Ethiopian Famine dominates the news in 1985. 3 PEOPLE — what a crowd! People are faces, bodies, smiles, gestures, responses, but more than that. People at DHS are caring, feeling, sharing, working, celebrating, worrying, too. This school is a family. Everybody knows everybody else. Seniors actually talk to sophomores, and may even give them a ride to the Frosty Corner! In study hall juniors can be seen helping freshmen work out basic algebra problems. Teachers and students eat together, tell jokes, play ball and sometimes even go fishing together. Parents turn out in large numbers for sports competition, music performances, plays. The community's Booster Club spon- sors school events and awards. Business men give donations and spend advertising money to support school projects. It takes lots of cooperation to make any school work. At DeSmet this year, the head custodian, Don Schultz, helped build props and prom decora- tions. From the community came parents helping with the play, science fair, variety show, track meet. Students in typing class helped at a downtown business. English teachers helped judge essays in career ed class. FHA organization raised $400 for the March of Dimes. Sophomores helped juniors with the prom. Computer wizards of all ages shared expertise. There’s a friendly spirit at DHS! A Don Schultz Is caught relaxing, for once, with the morning Argus Leader. A group of senior boys get together one last time: Paul Larson, Keith Gross, Dave Wilson, Bill Blogg, Bryce Bell, Jim Behm, Mark Stoel, Charles Johnson. Cleaning on the last day of school means lots of Hefty bags for Greg Wallum, night custodian. Upper left: Joyce and Donna serve lunch to senior citizens before the thundering herd of kids each day.

Lisa Muser accompanies the Dixieland Band at the Variety Show. Paul Jennings and Heath Marshall spend a lot of time catching up on typing assignments. 5 Seniors have personality This year was the smallest class in the history of DeSmet, with lots of individuality. There were the Bobbsey twins, othewise known as Julie Smith and Shelly CoushUn. Wher- ever one was the other wasn't too far behind. Kristy Hansen, a trend-setter, was never afraid to try somethins new and different. Sandy Goreham and Donita Holland were two people who were concerend about how they looked. Their hair had to be perfect and clothes without a wrinkle. The class clown, Bill Blogg, was always trying to be funny, and he loved to chew gum. Get rid of the gum, Bill, said Mrs. Warne. Charlie Johnson loved to get the accounting students into trouble. He never could keep his mouth shut, so the whole class suffered from his sense of humor. Rod Anderson must have thought Levis 501 blues was the most awesome jeans ever because that seemed to be the only kind of jeans he had. All Mark Stoel ever talked about was basketball and the Boston Celtics. It's not like he lived basketball.

The speaker was Gabe Mydland, field director for South Dakota Republican Party. Bruce Johnson was Salutator- ian and Valedictorian was Linda Kaufman. Concert Choir sang, Land of Hope and Glory and Just be who you are. The senior choir sang, Like an Eagle and soloist Penny Warne sang Corner of the Sky. There were many mixed emotions. Happy because they were done with high school, but sad because they were leaving their friends. Even so, Jill Baier said, Graduation is the best time of the year. Rod Anderson gives Dave Wilson a helping hand and it looks like Jim Behm is having problems with his gown. With tears rolling down her eyes Kristy Hansen gives her dad a big hug. The senior class practices their formation so they won't screw up ' when their big moment is here. W ■% • GRADUATION DAY Today we'll start a new life And we ll say our last goodbyes To all our friend we've grown to love, with whom we've laughed and cried. Remembering the fun and laughter, The problems and the fears, And watching all our memories grow throughout our high school years The memories of the dances And the new friends that we’ve met, Vacations, teachers, talking And exams we'd rather forget. Yes, high school days are precious but brief. Where all your dreams come true, It is not the end, but the beginning of a life we'll start anew. by Joy Shefstad Paul Larson, Linda Kaufman and Ben Jones graciously receive the congratulations of friends and family after the graduation ceremony. Sandy Goreham holds back the tears and gives a big smile instead. Fifteen of the twenty-two seniors sang in the senior chorus. Their number was Like an Eagle. Michelle Bublitz Tracy Burgers Chad Dilka Mary Dugdale Carl Falconer Caryl Gehm Sheryl Grabowska Julie Halverson Kathy Hansen Eric Hanson Keith Jenkins Peggy Jennings Trey Karlen Chad Kruse Tonia Larson Junior class offices include Kelly Steele, vice- president, Scott Pirlet, president, and Michelle Bublitz, secretary-treasurer. Stuart Schubloom and Jeff Soukup think that working in groups is a lot of fun. Brian Wilkins tries out the new entryway in the commons. Juniors peddle for prom Preparations for the Jr.-Sr. Prom began early last fall for the junior class, as they raised money by selling magazine subscrip- tions. Chad Kruse was the top salesman but many others also worked hard. Another fund raising activity was the concession stand at the wrestling matches and at girls and boys basketball games. Each junior was required to work two times, but Brian Wilkins enjoyed it so much that he worked every time he got a chance. The juniors got first hand experience in the concession business and soon learned to prepare in advance for half time, and that licorice swizzlers were the hottest item. When prom time came the juniors were relieved that their labors had raised enough money for decorations. They got out of Dave Mangetsen Chad Lee Bill Martens Michelle Montross Lisa Muser a whole afternoon of classes to decorate and had almost as much fun as they had prom night. A few people had a little row with teachers as to how loud the ‘ jam box should be, but all in all, everything went quite smoothly. The prom was also success- ful and in spite of everyone's fears, the bridge didn't break during the grand march! The juniors are looking for- ward to their senior year when they can sit back and take it easy, but they do admit that their junior year was pretty much ,a blast.

Take Leslie Keller and Kim Roeder as prime examples. They weren't exactly playing with fire but one day in home ec they managed to start a grease fire. Kim came flying out of the room screaming, Fire fire to Mrs. Knock who was in the next room. Monte Richards did a 100- page term paper for biology. Is that a love for home work or what? Jeff Stoel, Doug Osthus and Jeff Gruenhagen gave the basket- ball team some oomph and kept the seniors on their toes. Michele Vallery and Stacey Jones were the actors of the bunch and Lori Wiese and Cara Gange were the fad and trend setters. Guy Rusche was the youn- gest member of the swing choir but wasn't afraid to express his moves. In the sophomore class as a whole, each person had special and interesting characteristics all his own. are all Sheila Apland Shane Baier Blaine Beck “fired up. j Laurie Borah Cara Ganje Mike Gilbertson Jeff Gruenha$en Tony Halverson Kevin Hein Stacey Jones John Kaiser Kris Kaiser Doug Osthus, Kim Roeder and their class mates are enjoying a biology class outide on one of the last days of school.

Freshmen set first taste of high school Charolette and Sarah Currier are serving themselves at the Home Ec I classes' foreign food luncheon for their mothers. Class officers include vice-president Terry Holland, president Joel Kruse and Gretchen Gross secretary- treasurer. Many exciting events filled the class of 1988’s first year of high school. Jeremy Groce won first prize for his costume as a woman on Masquerade Day. His get-up, complete with a dress, wig and curves, was so convincing that he even attracted whistles and suffered from pinches. The freshmen even managed to keep classes fun and event- ful. Eric Christopherson, affec- tionately known as CRUD, came to the rescue of the Algebra I class when they were locked out of the room by crawling through the window to open the door. Other fun was had in typing class. When the students didn't have their fingers flying across the keys, it's rumored that they munched on M M's. Although the freshmen had fun, there was a time for learning and homework. The Home Ec class gained practical homemaking skills by cooking various foods and sewing gym bags. Diligent research was in order as the students worked on projects such as volcanoes and talking birds for the science fair.

After winning at the local level, Delores Johnson taught reading four students attended a math while Kathie Prahl taught gram- mar. Kathie Prahl also taught art. She said, “By the eighth grade they used the elements of line, shape, color they had learned in the seventh grade to do specific art forms, drawing, print making, lettering and many more art experiences with various media being used.

Marge Anderson took time out from teaching eighth grade math to clean her desk. Newcomers change their old habits Learning to change their old habits was a major part of school life for the seventh graders. This introduction occurred when they entered the new world at De Smet High School. Their new life and atmos- phere involved restricted class schedules, new teachers for every subject, admittance slips if they were tardy, greater compe- tition in sports, and detentions if they got into trouble. They also had to get used to a new vocabulary program in reading class. Mrs. Johnson said, Ultimately the participants of this program will become audacious in the use of their prodigious vocabulary and will pursue interminable papers of material in a highly proficient, authoritative way. Kathie Prahl taught English. She said, We investigated how sentences are constructed. Like a scientist in the lab, we dissected sentences, examined the parts, and put them back together again. Mrs. Prahl also taught a visual arts class. They were introduced to the basic elements found in all art work, line, shape and color used with different media. Joyce Fried, taught two classes of life science in the morning and also a study hall. In the afternoon Mrs. Fried was in charge of the Learning Disabilities Resource Room for grades 7-12. This is the first year there has been such a program at the junior and high school levels, said Mrs. Fried. Ron Peterson taught better fundamentals of basketball and wrestling. We also worked on lifetime sports skills, said Mr. Peterson.

Elementary Office Staff Judy Poppen is working on her nineteenth year as school secretary. The office staff at Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary School received a new copy machine, bell system and clock. Now the teachers didn't have to run over to the high school when it was -10 degrees in the middle of winter or pouring rain outside in the spring and fall just to run off copies. The new bell system and clock reassured the students that they would get out for recess on time. Some of Mrs. Poppen s re- sponsibilities were taking care of the daily attendance slips, taking meal tickets, typing and filing. She also found herself bandaging knees, finding lost mittens, taking sick kids home. Mr. Grabowska supervised the lunch program and made contact with parents. He is the general supervisor or all areas in the building and on the play- ground. Mr. Grabowska also taught two P.E. classes.

Sixth graders lead the pack Sixth grade means being top dog in the elementary school and looking forward to being in high school. Sharon Johnson was the teacher. During Halloween the kids presented a special play to their parents. They also gave a Valen- tine play. Studies in this class included mythology, making castles depicting Middle Ages, fractions, decimals, and heredity. Other activities included making plastic face masks and drawing car- toons. They participated in a variety of sports, and also learned the fine art of journalism by publishing their own monthly newspaper. Following close behind, Delores Gross's fifth grade class consisted of 9 girls and 15 boys. Robert Poppen joined the group later in the year. They kept the year very busy with a series of interesting activities. Writing American poetry and drawing posters for the soil conservation contest gave the kids a chance to show their artistic ability. Prizes were awarded as incentives to work hard. During their pioneer study in social studies, a tour was taken through Prairie Village at Madison in May. Computers presented them with many challenges also. The computers were used mainly to drill on math facts, states, and capitals. There was also some programming involved. S3 Trading big with fourth graders Fourth graders participated in a wide variety of activities, including cheerleading and trad- ing all kinds of stickers to fill their albums. But the big thing was learning about the person who the grade school is named after — Laura Ingalls Wilder. Reading Laura's books was part of the program of learning about her life and the people around it. Then they took the Laura Ingalls Wilder tour in DeSmet. The fourth graders were divided into two classes. Audrey Gustafson taught one class and Jeanie Penny taught the other.

There were 31 students and this year was when school work became harder and they concentrated more on their studies. There were 27 kids in the second grade, and the class was taught by Eileen Goreham. Second grade was the year when the kids started basic multiplica- tion as part of their studies. Also they learned a little about Laura Ingalls Wilder, taking a short tour of her homes. Also at the end of the year they had Kay Vallery come and speak to them about how to take care of pets.

The classes had a gift exchange during their Christmas party in December. They made Valentine cookies for a party in February, and presented a play for Mother's Day. On Parent Visitation Day some of the students’ parents came in and told about their jobs. Mrs. Janish and Mrs. Aughen- baugh taught math skills of addition and subtraction, through the number 18, and telling time. The first graders were divid- ed into reading groups on various ability levels, and learned to read simple directions and maps. Writing skills included printing letters, and writing sentences and short stories. 26 Top, front row.- Sara Geib, Scott Larson, Heather Skyberg, Leah Twite, Lisa Wallen- stein, Chris GiUigan, Susan Close, Chris Haines, Matt Palmlund.

Little ones leave Mom and Dad Kindergarten is the first major step in growing up. It was probably the first time without Mom and Dad, but it was also filled with lasting friendships with children their own age. Each week a new Star- of-the-week was picked, and then that student was treated special. Parties were held for all the holidays. For President Washington and Lincoln's Birthdays, the students each made a booklet about the President which they took home. Community helpers also played a part in the kindergarten class. Starting in April a person from the community, such as a hospital worker, would come and tell the class about their jobs and how they help the people of De Smet. Top, front row.

We had a good following all year in terms of numbers and hopefully many realized that there is a building process involved with an unsuccess- ful athletic program just as there is a building process in a successful business or farm. Most people understand that 14-18-year-old kids react much better to a positive reinforcement than negative remarks. I believe the majority of Bulldog followers have made the swing to that idea. The athletic department wel- comed Pat Wheeler to the coaching staff. Mr. Wheeler was the assistant boys' basketball, track and football coach. Several pieces of new equip- ment were also received by the athletic department. New rims for the bangboards and a new portable basket were purchased. Football players received new jerseys, and the wrestlers received new warm-up pants. No smoking, no chewing, no drinking were some of the training rules for athletes. If any athlete was caught breaking any of these rules, it meant immediate dismissal from the team. Athletes could stay out until 11 p.m. on weekdays, one a.m. on weekends, and 10 p.m. on a night before a game or a match. These rules were enforced by the high school coaches, administrators and city police. Mr. Janish shows junior high kids that he can still shoot a decent free throw.

Wheeler, Head Coach B. Wilkinson. Head coach Bill Wilkinson shows his fist at an early morning practice. He's sure! Dogs plagued by injuries — will be ready to go next year For the first time, the head football coach was not a member of the teaching staff. Coach Bill Wilkinson said, We had a fairly good year in spite of all the- injuries. The players started the season off with a spark beating Dell Rapids. Bill Martens had a broken collar bone, Paul Larson with broken ribs and Scott Pirlet with knee surgery, Jim Poppen with a concussion and Jeff Soukup with broken ribs. We had a lot of work to do on the line before we really began to get the hang of it, said Coach Wilkinson. Bill Martens remembers, ,After I was injured in the third game, someone else with not as much experience had to come in and play for me. I felt really bad that I couldn't be out there playing with the rest of my teammates. There were some light moments during the season. Eric Hanson was playing, and his helmet was lying on the ground. There was a dead gopher on the ground which a teammate put in Eric's helmet for the fun of it. He later put the helmet on his head and played with the gopher inside. Pat Wheeler, Brent Osthus, and Marv McCune were assistant football coaches. Chad Dilka, SO, sets racked as Bill Blogs, 1, watches from ground level, in the Homecoming loss to Clear Lake. 31 Leading the Bulldogs on the field were Jeff Gruenhagen, Doug Osthus, Keith Sheffield and Bruce Johnson, who were picked for the All-Conference team.

On and off the field it takes total cooperation from the players and the student man- agers. Their job may look rela- tively simple, but that's hardly the case. It takes a lot of work to get everything ready for the everybody p i 11 1 $ players to go on Friday nights. 8 1 This year the Bulldogs had an I exceptionally good group of students. The student managers were Craig Pitman, Chad Osthus and Danny Wilkinson. They were kept busy this year by filling water bottles, carrying equip- ment and doing any other jobs the coaches and players could find for them to do. With all the hard work that was put in this year the season wasn't all fun and games. The Bulldogs had a rather weak season with only one win. rr-rr 11 I «• li II 1 ■ iuii u 11 Mill I I I I HIM • • I • • f.Y 1 IIM 111II i'm'm ,7,7, III!

For basketball they keep track of all shots, rebounds, turnovers, fouls, assists, viola- tions, field goals and freethrows among many other things. Vol- leyball stat keepers have their eyes open for spikes, aces, sets, and dinks, to name a few. When student managers aren't present, the stat keepers take over by filling water bottles and folding uniforms. A memorable, although un- pleasant, experience took place at the Region III Tournament. Before the game started, a little girl lost her supper all over the bleachers behind the players and stat keepers. Chad Kruse said that it created a very nauseating setting for the game. Most stat keepers agree that it's an exciting job, and getting into the games free is an added benefit. The girls basketball stat keepers are clockwise Linda Kaufman, Michelle Bub- litz, Kathy Hansen, Sheila Apland, Maur- een Lembke, Lynette Wallenstein, Kristy Hansen, and Gretchen Rapp. Volleyball stat keepers include Jan Palmer, Kristy Hansen, Linda Kaufman and Kathy Hansen. Boys basketball stat keepers are top row Leslie Keller, Kelley Steele, Tracy Burgers and Dawn Jenkins. Bottom row Charlie Johnson, Janee Dobson and Chad Kruse. In basketball Buds can joke The girls basketball team liked to have fun in addition to hard work. To break the tension the players remembered that Buds can joke. Although the girls basketball season ended on a disappointing note with the loss of the first game of the districts, the season as a whole went quite well with a 12-7 record. Seniors Jill Baier, Donita Holland and Sandy Goreham were the team captains and were chosen for the All-Conference team. Baier was also named to the second all-state team and had a season average of 23 point a game, 19 rebounds and 5 assists. Holland had a season record of 13 points a game and 7 rebounds. The Lady Bulldogs were invited to three classics, invita- tional tournaments, and tied for first place in the Lake Central Conference championship. Coach Kim Weed said, If I consider the season as a whole, I'm pleased at much of what I saw. I was pleased with the development and improvement of the three seniors and felt they were justly honored by being named to the All-Conference team. Of the seven games that were lost this season, six were lost by five or less points and three of those by one point. The positive note was that we were in every game we played this year, even if it isn't reflected in the win-loss column, said Coach Weed. The A team includes back row Caryl Gehm, Leslie Keller, Donita Holland, Jill Baier, Kelley Steele and Sandy Goreham Front row includes Julie Purintun, Kim Roeder, Tracy Burgers, Sheryl Grabowska, Jan Palmer and Lori Weise. Members of the B team are back row Tracy Burgers, Susie Behm, Sarah Currier, Nicole Beck, Kim Roeder and Michelle Junker.

They won both the district games but lost the first game of the Bulldogs go for it.

Three outstanding players averaged 11 points per game. They were sophomores Doug Osthus and Jeff Stoel and senior Rod Anderson. Jeff also aver- aged eight rebounds and Doug, five assists per game. Coach McCune said, We finished the year strong and I think the team played some of our best ball at tournament time, which is always what a coach would like. I felt the year was very successful in terms of building hopefully for several highly successful seasons in the future. He adds, '7 think the boys this year gave 100 percent every time they hit the floor. We were very young and inexperienced but I don't think we ever lost a game from lack of hustle. We learned with each game and became a better and smarter team at the end of the year. McGune said that there was never a team that he coached that didn’t give him a headache or pain of some sort. Jeff Gruenhagen said if he could play any game over again he wanted to play the region 3 game against Castlewood, so we could have had a shot at Colman and a possible trip to the State B's'. It would have been great, adds Jeff. Scott Pirlet wanted a second chance at Elkton, because they thought they were hot stuff and if we could have beat them we would have had a better record, says Scott. Jim Poppen wanted to play Hamlin again even though they had already beat them once. He said, It was a fun game to play because we had to work hard and it gave us an edge on rivalry. VARSITY back row: Robb Schmidt, Mark Stoel, Bill Blogs, Jeff Stoel, Scott Pirlet, Jeff Gruenhagen and Bill Martens Front row: Doug Osthus, Bruce Johnson, Paul Larson, Rodney Anderson, Blaine Beck, and Bulldogs coach Marv McCune. Marv McCune has been coaching in DeSmet since 7 979. He has coached basketball, football, track and just recently in the past years has been teaching gym class and acting as athletic director. Rod Anderson needs a ladder to reach the rim, but really he is taking down the net aher winning the district tour- nament against the Oldham Dragons. Slam Dunk seems to be Robb Schmidt's favorite thing during prac- tice. Although he attempted to do a slama jama during a few games, they wouldn't go in.

Two wrestlers from Lake Preston joined 17 from DeSmet to make up the wrestling squad of 19. Going to the district tourney in Webster were Matt Johnson, Chad Peterson, Jim Behm, Todd Carlson (LP), Shane Baier, Jadd Odegaard (LP), Mike Montross, Paul Mausbach, Jon Wendel, Arnie Burton, and Keith Sheffield. Placing at the district tour- nament were Jim, first place,- Shane, second; Mike, Todd, and Jadd third; Jon, Arnie and Keith fourth, in their perspective weight class. These wrestlers also participated at the regional tour- nament in Redfield. Jim and Shane qualified for the state meet, with Jim placing third in the 112 lb. weight class. Shane broke the school record for reversals. Jim tied 1 record and broke nine.

Tracksters on the 30 Fifteen boys and eight girls participated in track this year. They attended several major track meets such as Dan Lennon, Vermillion Invitational, Corn Palace Relays, Watoma Relays, and Howard Wood Relays, plus the Booster Club Invitational held in DeSmet. Winners at state were Robb Schmidt placing second in long jump and high jump. Second place was also awarded to the 800 meter relay team, which consisted of Chad Dilka, Doug Osthus, Robb Schmidt, and Bill Martens. Bill also placed second in 20, second in 400, and seventh in 10 yard dash. Jill Baier placed third in discus.

Coaches Pat Wheeler and Marv McCune take a few minutes to plan their strategy. 46 47 “Let's go BULLDOGS ... ” Ambitious ... rowdy ... loud ... leading the fans ... cheering on the boys ... giving the school some spirit... quiet- ing the fans when a free throw was being shot ... these were just a few things cheerleaders did. Along with convincing players to give pep talks, they planned pep sessions, one with coach McCune guessing who the hairy legs belong to, and made posters to hang in the halls. “Doing these things helped to get players in the Bulldog spirit, said Sandy Goreham. The cheerleaders performed skits and they led the school song with pom-poms and singing. “They were 'far out' and gave the school some pazzaz, said a fan.

The result - frustrated mechanics. Mr. Wheeler seldom had all of his typewriters in workng order at one time, so he had to confiscate the journalism ma- chine. And it was rumored that Tony Johnson had a little trouble hanging on to thermometers in science class. There were five new teachers in the DeSmet school system this year. Richard Zeller, ag department, Linda Wickre, English department, Joyce Fried special education and eighth grade science, Edith Miller, librar- ian, and Pat Wheeler, business department. About 25 high school and middle school students par- ticipated in the SEEK program. This program provided to the academically gifted students the chance to excel and challenge themselves academically. The program offered everything from computers to dance choreo- graphy. The DeSmet School district was also a member of the North East Area Services Coop, which provided special services for member schools.

Students use the office, too, for calling Mom to please bring tennis shoes, to make up tests, to serve detention, to gab with the secretary. School Board members Herbert Ander- son, Debbie Lincoln, Henry Albrecht and Betty Karlen debate buying a new school bus. Board member Roger Osthus is not pictured. It's hard to smile when you've just negotiated a nearly one-million-dollar budget, but Superintendent Donovan Twite does it Janee Dobsen is almost finished wit ) her make-up work after an absence. You have to talk politely to copiers, says Larry Janish, high school principal. Nothing slack about math! Larry Janish has been teach- ing in DeSmet for 11 years. He teaches Algebra II, computer programming and senior math, besides being high school prin- cipal. Keith Sheffield winning first place in the Algebra II division of NSC math contest, was Mr. Janish's high point of the year, he said. Mr. Janish went to Northern State College where he got a bachelor of science degree and to South Dakota State University where he received a master of arts. This was Connie Geyer's fourth year of teaching at De- Smet. She taught Algebra I, Basic Algebra I, geometry, consumer math and physics. Mrs. Geyer received a bachelor of science degree from S.D.S.U. Mrs. Geyer said, It was exciting for us to have our third child this year, but also difficult to leave school and the students. It is a good feeling to come back and really be welcomed and told you were missed. Above: Trey Karlen, Jeff Soukup, Chad Dilka and Michelle Bublitz work out a physics experiment.

She teaches ninth grade physical science, sophomore Biology I, chemistry and Biology II. Her experience includes 22 years at Milbank and four years at other schools. She attended the University of South Dakota where she earned a bachelor of science and master of natural science degrees. The highlight of Mrs. Col- berg’s year was, getting the Master Teacher Award from the regent controlled colleges which was presented to me at the S.D. Academy of Science meeting in Mitchell in March. In March each of Mrs. Col- berg's students displayed a project at the Science Fair, the first in ten years. Monte Richards won with his project on sea shells. A few other examples were Aging ' Bald Eagles , Mount St. Helens and Heart Disease. Monte Richards answers the judges' questions about his winning science fair project.

Catching up on last-minute visiting before U.S. history class starts are Jodi Peterson, Peggy Jennings, John Steen, Eric Hansen, Chad Lee, Terry Poppen, Tonia Larson, Robin Rousch and Chad Kruse. Mr. McCune is not always this relaxed during lectures. Psyched up” for history Marv McCune graduated from Huron College with a bachelor of arts degree in social science and physical education. He has taught at DeSmet for seven years. Other teaching experience includes two years at Bristol. Mr. McCune taught American government, American history, modern problems, world geo- graphy, and physical education. He was also the Athletic Director, basketball coach, track coach and junior class advisor. Mr. McCune s highlight, was coming together as a team in the middle of the year and seeing players giving 100 percent each time down the floor. Also the Castlewood game in the Region Three Tourney. I always look forward to new and different experiences, said Norma Dannenbring, who taught psychology, sociology, German I, and German II. She was also guidance counselor, junior class advisor and the advisor of the National Honor Society. Mrs. Dannenbring has taught at DeSmet for 24 years. She attended Huron College to earn a bachelor of arts degree and received a master of education and guidance counseling at South Dakota State University. 57 It takes a steady hand to run the radial arm saw. Jon Albrecht shows it as he cuts a piece of wood for his project. Arnie Burton and Keith Sheffield are the chief mechanics on small engines in Ag III class. New start, new teacher in as This year the ag depart- ment was introduced to a new teacher. Richard Zeller, a graduate from South Dakota State University, has been teaching for four years. Mr. Zeller's first teaching job was at McCiuskey, North Dakota. Mr. Zeller is notoriously known for the unique way that he chews at his moustache. Working hard since last summer, Zeller and a group of students worked on cleaning and building cabinets to improve the classroom. Mr. Zeller, the new Ag teacher, shows off his skills at the grinder. The sophomores had a welding unit this year. Guy Rusche takes perfect aim on welding two pieces of metal. 58 I Home Ec cooks up a busy year Bill Blogg gets first hand experience at fatherhood as Sandy Borah, Linda Kauf- man and Shelly Couslin look on. Mrs. Knock always has a smile on her face. The home ec classes gained new experiences in many areas this year, not just cooking and sewing. Students had the opportuni- ty to work with children at Halloween. The Home Ec II class helped the first graders carve pumpkins, and the Advanced Food class assisted the sixth graders in making cookies for their Halloween play. During National Family Week the family living class assembled a display for the public to view at the bank, and the food class had an ethnic family foods unit. The freshmen home econ- omics class held an open house for the high school and middle school, with the theme ,Market- ing Home Economics. The pur- pose was to inform seventh and eighth graders about home econ- omics. Student teacher, Michelle Malon, supervised the event. It's evident that the cur- riculum in home economics has changed. Our emphasis is no longer cooking and sewing, but leadership, parenting, nutrition education, housing and consumer information, said Sharry Knock, home ec teacher. Mrs. Knock has taught at DHS for 14 years. She has a BS degree from SDSU. The high point in teaching for me is any time students put to use what I have taught them to achieve or accom- plish for themselves. Mrs. Knock teaches Home Ec I, II, Family Living, Foods and Advanced Clothing. She also advises SEEK, FHA and cheerleading. Maureen Lembke looks really thrilled as she shows a slide presentation at the open house. Shelly Ogren and Michelle Malon prepare Oriental food with a wok in advanced foods class. Teachers do double duty “Okay folks, let’s settle down, was commonly heard in Pat Wheeler's classes. This was Mr. Wheeler's first year at DeSmet. He tausht Typing I, Typing II, Accounting I, business law, and career education. He was also assistant coach for football, basketball, and track. Wheeler attended Dakota State College and majored in business education with a physical education minor. Before coming to DeSmet Mr. Wheeler taught at Bonesteel for 5 years. The high point of the year was Becoming accustomed to DeSmet, and the basketball team's play in Regions. Linda Wick re’s least favorite expression in class was Don 't get nervous. She taught English , English III, and Journalism. She was advisor of the yearbook and Growler. Mrs. Wickre said her highlight was finishing the year- book. She went to Westmar College and got a bachelor of arts degree. This was Mrs. Wickre's first year at DeSmet, but she has 15 years of teaching experience in Iowa, Illinois, and North Dakota. Dancer Valerie Williams provides inspira- tion for creative writing in English III. Mr Wheeler lectures on some fine points in accounting. Mrs. Wickre has had about enough of the seventh period English class. Bill Blogg and Charles Johnson are downing in Business Law, as usual. 60 Library acts as English room One of the four newcomers to the school faculty was Edith Miller. Mrs. Miller went to BSU in Minnesota where she received a bachelor of science degree. She was in charge of the library at DHS and the instructor of oral interp. Mrs. Miller said, There are so many highlights. I'm going to miss you all especially when I’m in Atlanta and South Dakota is having a blizzard! Although Kim Weed said her favorite day was May 28 (the last day of school), her sophomore speech class probably topped the list. Besides sophomore English, Miss Weed taught English IV and Health. She also coached girls basketball, girls volleyball and assisted in track. Miss Weed was a graduate of Huron College where she achieved a physical education major with an English minor. Miss Weed is in the process of correcting a term paper. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Twite the library aide, are taking inventory. Usa Muser and Mary Wilson work hard on their dreaded term paper. Lori Borah gives her speech during sophomore English. 61 FINE ARTS — for all By the time students get to high school in DeSmet they're accustomed to singing, acting, and dancing. So the fine arts program is an important and popular one. A large majority of students were involved this year, too. Once again the oral interpre- tation participants took top honors at the district contest in the fall, and the one-act play cast, performing The Rocking Horse Winner, won a superior rating at division and at the state contest. Several judges at the music contest in Milbanks rated the high school chorus as the best B-school chorus in the state. And the band also came away with honors. Art class was required for middle school students and available for regular courses at the high school level. The variety show in the spring brought out an audience of hundreds from the community.

Sandy Goreham waits patiently for Kristy Hansen to practice her oral interpretation piece. Penny Warne could be seen practicing with students during noon hour quite often. Students here are Caryl Gehm, Gretchen Rapp , Donita Holland, and Kim Roeder. Swing choir members, Jeff Soukup, Sandy Goreham, Rod Anderson and Bill Blogg harmonize during the variety show.

The Jazz Band went to contests at Northern State Collese, South Dakota State University, and Augustana Col- lege. Concert band competed at Milbank. Probably the funniest that happened was on the return trip from the Northern State Jazz Festival. A snowstorm occurred which made the trip difficult. The bus made it home, but Mr. Soukup was stuck overnight in Webster with the van and band instruments. Jeff Soukup successfully auditioned for All State on trumpet. Also a scholarship from the Women's Study Club of DeSmet was given to Melinda Johnson.

Jeremy Groce played a youngster who was able to correctly predict race horse winners, but who died trying to win enough money to satisfy his greedy mother, played by Lisa Muser. Mary Farrell directed the production. The cast members were able to use British accent convincingly for the play, which won a superior rating at the state contest.

Almost everyone in high school took part in extra cur- ricular activities. Although the school is small, there were a variety of activities a student could belong to, from time- consuming year-long organiza- tions, like FFA and newspaper staff, to short-term activities like decorating for prom or rehears- ing for a play. Kristy Hansen and Bryce Bell participated in over twenty activities during their high school years. There wasn't much time left to get into trouble. Approximately a third of the students had outside jobs, but many were like Sandy Goreham, who worked at Floyd's Jewelry, belonged to FHA, the SEEK program for gifted students, was Student Council president, and was boys basketball cheerleader, besides playing on the girls basketball team. John Noem, Kelly Steele, Craig Pitman and Tracy Burgers were busy during the football season keeping statistics. In a child care activity Donita Holland tends to the needs of a youngster. Chad Kruse chats with a customer at the concession stand during the Booster Club Relays. 70 After a SEEK meeting, Mary Wilson, Michele Vallery, Kristy Hansen, Sandy Goreham relax with adviser Mrs. Knock and Bryce Bell.

Bulldogs have a “blast Spirit Week was observed in connection with Homecoming. It was put on by the football cheerleaders to get the football players, students and fans into the spirit of the homecoming week football game against the Clear Lake Cardinals. Monday was “Tie up the Cards Day and everyone was to wear a tie. Tuesday was Color Day when all classes were assigned different colors to wear. Wednesday was Camou- flage Day. The students were to wear anything they had that dealt with hunting. Thursday was Maroon and Gold Day and Friday was Birdbusters Day. The winner of spirit week was Karen Grothe who was chosen most spirited participant. Thursday evening was coronation. The high school chorus and swing choir sang, the FHA put on a skit, and the 1983 royalty, Tom Coughlin and Christi Parsons, crowned the new 1984 king and queen, Paul Larson and Sandy Gore ham. After corona- tion the opponents initials, C. L. were burned in a ceremony at the baseball field. Homecoming activities ended Saturday evening with a dance held at the armory. Cheerleaders, Shelly Ogren, Sandy Core- ham, Donita Holland, Gretchen Rapp and Kim Roeder led the cheering session from a flatbed trailer. The student body chose Paul Larson and Sandy Goreham as the 1984-85 homecoming royalty to represent DHS for the year 72 Tonis Larson displays her spirit with posters which she and Trey Karlen made. 1984-85 royalty candidates are boys, Mark Stoel, Paul Larson, Jim Behm and Bill Blogg, girls, Sandy Goreham, Shelly Ogren, Julie Smith and Donita Holland. Good times will come and 30 ... Prom was the junior class hi3hli3ht of the year. Many meetinss were held in prepara- tion. The juniors had to decide what their colors were to be, motto, banquet menu, and this was just the besinnins. Turquoise, blue and silver were the colors chosen. The silver sparkled from the Ii3hts of the band, Ecarus. The banquet meal held at the Country dub was steak, baked potato, sour cream, roll, jello salad, ice-cream and punch. Most of the suys showed up in tuxedoes and all of the 3irls were wearins formats. Brian Wilkins, Keith Jenkins, Caryl Gehm and Tim Poppen are hanging crepe paper for prom night Julie Purinton and Farron Pratt read the wills of the seniors at the banquet.

Seniors in their formats and tuxedos are gathering in the corner at the Country Club before the meal. Jodi Peterson and Julie Halverson talk with Peggy Jennings about what they are going to do after the dance. 75 DHS students are tops The Student Council's main job was organizing Homecom- ing in the fall. The officers were elected the spring before they took office, with the class representatives chosen at the start of the school year. One activity the council promoted this year was the drug and alcohol work shop. They also gave a scholarship, this year to Bryce Bell. Many awards were given to high school students, some at the Awards Day program, and others at the annual Athletic Banquet. Other honors went to National Honor Society members, chosen for high academic and personal at- tributes. The American Legion chose juniors to attend Boys and Girls state. Student Council officers, sitting, are Paul Larson, vice president; Sandy Goreham, president; Gretchen Rapp, secretary; adviser, Larry Janish.

DESMET SCHOOL DIST. 38-2 Clownin erui sin portin' out Every day for five days a week students arrived at school either walking, driving cars or pickups, pedaling bikes, or riding on the bus. On a couple of warm days Mr. Janish, Keith Gross, Robb Schmidt, Jeff Gruenhagen, and Jeff Stoel rode their mo- torcycles to school. At noon many students went home or went downtown for dinner. But there were still many who remained at the school to eat in the cafeteria. Near the end of the noon hour students reported back to the gym to play basketball or pingpong or work on homework. After school, students piled out of the school to go to work or sports practice or home, or just cruise the streets of DeSmet. Scott Pirlet, Jeff Soukup, Caryl Gehm and Dave Wilson kill time over the lunch hour in the gym. The school cooks Donna Wade, Joyce Borgstadt and Cheryl Palmlund feed 300 people every day. Nobody gets through Mrs. Twite’s lunch line without a ticket, not even Jason Campbell or Aaron Dilka. Get with it! Even athletes have their fashion fads to follow. This year it was still tennis shoes with high tops. Leg warmers were “out” for girls, but cropped'' pants, which hugged the leg above the ankle were definitely in. Baseball caps with person- alized slogans or advertising were worn everywhere, and teachers had a battle to remove them in class. Foam insulated grips for beverage glasses were sported as wrist adornments. And always, and maybe forever, jeans and T-shirts! Top: Heath Marshall Is one of the first with a 'rat-tail'' haircut.

It took a lot of work for the eleven students to do the layout design, write copy and captions, inter- view scores of students and teachers to get the annual done. The students often stayed after school during the week to meet deadlines for the newspaper and yearbook. The photographers did a lot of running around taking pictures for the yearbook. They spent many hours in the darkroorr getting pictures developed anc printed just right. The two newspaper editors assigned each of the students stories each week for the Growler. Then came the work of hunting down people for inter- views, interesting quotes and lively pictures. Brian Wilkins tended to gag a lot over his assignments, but after much bullying, he usually got them done. The journalism staff consisted of, stand- ins, Tonia Larson, Chad Kruse, Keith Jenkins, Kathy Hansen, Kelly Van Meter, Brian Wilkins, Julie Halverson, John Steen, Michelle Montross; sitting, Jon Wendel, Sandy Goreham and Jill Baler. Taking time out from layout design to enjoy Brian Wilkin's latest gossip are Keith Jenkins and Michelle Montross. Bulldog editors were Sandy Goreham and Jill Baler, standing. Julie Halverson and Michelle Montross were Growler editors. 82 Keith Jenkins, Kathy Hansen and Kelly Van Meter are thinking of what to print next in the darkroom. Laboring hard on his copy for the newspaper is Chad Kruse. Sometimes staffers like John Steen and Julie Halverson actually took their work on layouts and typing seriouslyI FHA keeps rollin’’ Future Homemakers of Amer- ica members had a year of new experiences and fun. Many members won honors at the state convention held in Sioux Falls. Kim Roeder, Stacy Jones, Sandy Goreham, Sheila Apland, Janee Dobson and Lisa Kaiser all won superiors on action activities. A birthday party was held in May to celebrate FHA's 40th birthday. Parents and other members of the community reminisced about past FHA experiences. Carl Falconer was also installed as the first male officer in the history of the DeSmet FHA. The FHA 'ers took their annual field trip to Lake Area Vocational Technical School in Watertown, and received free hair cuts and styles, facials or manicures. I really got a lot out of the trip because I plan to go into cosmetology, said Kathy Han- sen. More excitement came dur- ing the Jr.-Sr. trip. Nineteen juniors and seniors, along with Sharry Knock, advisor, and Barb Hansen headed to Sioux Falls for a weekend of fun. They went shopping and then had dinner at the North Lantern restaurant. The group really pigged out, as the bill came to $217. After supper they supposedly bedded down for the night at the Downtown Holiday Inn. Everyone agreed that it was a lot of fun even though they came back exhaust- ed. Many other activities kept the FHA busy all year long including providing rides to the polls, a Christmas party and movie and serving at the dinner theater. FHA members include front row Sheila Apland, Carl Falconer, Kim Roeder, Sandy Borah, Shelly Coushlin, Julie Smith, Gretchen Rapp and Shelly Ogren Middle row includes Susie Behm, Maureen Lembke, Lori Borah, Leslie Keller, Gretchen Gross, Melinda Spader, Sarah Currier and Stacy Jones.

The freshmen and officers helped with it. Officers went on a planning retreat to Brookings. In December the office team and a few individuals went to Volga for the District II Leadership contest. That was the beginning of a very prosperous year for the chapter. The dairy products and meats team went to the national contest in Kansas Oty. The dairy a stickler ' be in FFA products received a gold emblem and sixth in the nation and meats received a silver emblem and twenty-first in the nation. The parliamentary procedure team got first place in the state leadership contest. Julie Halver- son received second in public speaking and Warren Rusche received third in salesmanship.

SPECIAL THANKS The journalism staff would like to pay tribute to Dale Blegen, editor of the DeSmet News. Mr. Blegen saved us many times when we had problems in the dark room or needed sup- plies. If wed run out of developer or fixer he'd fill our jugs. If we needed print paper at the last minute he would fill the order. When we needed a picture that we didn't have, Dale usually had it and was nice enough to make us a print. Thank you, Dale and the rest of the DeSmet News Staff.
