SENIORS MAKING HISTORY WOW! MAN! We made it to high school. It seems like yesterday when the nineteen of us walked through the doors of HHS. The new students were Jeff Selchert and Tracy Surdez. We had lost Tim Hansen, and Becky and Jenny Nemec. Class officers for our Freshman year were; Jackie Neu- harth and Chad Eldeen. student council representatives; Tracey Sur- dez. president; Jill Pekarek. vice- president; Jeff Selchert. secretary; and Dan Lusk, treasurer. For the first time Jeff Selchert tried to be an an- gel as he gave his marshal speech. When new rules were made they al- ways seemed to start with our class, and it was no different when the Board of Regents required that stu- dents have two years of foreign lan- guage before entering a stale sup- ported school. Some of us held out. in hopes that this rule would be re- pealed. and it later was. Mr. Peter- son tried to give vocabulary quizes but didn't seem to notice everyone always had their book wide open on the floor. The football team made the playoffs, but were defeated by Sully Buttes 8-7. Our sophomore year. Becky and Jen- ny Nemec returned after attending a private school in Rapid City. Tracy Surdez. moved to Sturgis. Jill Pe- karek was our Hugh O'Brien dele- gate and Chad Eldeen was our Mar- shal Candidate. Class officers were Jackie Neuharth and Dan Lusk, stu- dent council representatives; Jeff Selchert. president; Tork Cowan, vice-president; Doug Hinkle, secre- tary: and Chad Eldeen. treasurer.
