HURKOTA 198r HURLEY HIGH SCHOOL RLEY, SOUTH DAKOTA ] . VOLUME 66 Hurkota Staff: Advfsor Brad Preheim. Senior Editor Jackie Georgeson. Junior Editor Sheila Woodward, Dorothy Kluckman, Paula Georgeson, Jodi Homan, Tim Spomer, Howard Georgeson, Paul Rayburn, Jody Kaarup, Wendy Andersen, Danielle Smith, i fv If1 you y r enter the hallowed halls of Hurley High, you are bound to catch students in the act of various activities. A yearbook is a record of students and events, and the memories that go with them. The staff has made every attempt to capture moments; to catch students and faculty in the act of being themselves. You would catch students in the act of partic- pating in athletics. Most of the students involve themselves in the contests in one way or another, and they find a way to win — if not on the score- board, in the experience of the game. You would also catch students in the act of participating in many activities. Band, chorus, mu- sicals, journalism, and FHA, along with many other activities, are a part of every day life for many stu- dents. Of course, you would catch students study- ing, taking notes, or writing tests. In their busy schedules, they still find a way to go to class and get homework done. Most importantly, you would catch students being themselves. Each student has a unique per- sonality. It is putlntention to capture these person- alities on film and on paper. On the following pages you can revisit the school year of 86-87 and see that truly, the student body was Caught in the Act! r Attempting to convince Mr Ward that they aren't eating gumdrops, Paul.

In a small school like Hurley, people get involved in nearly everything. It is up to fifty-one stu- dents to handle the roles that 1000 handle in other schools. They do everything from completing the annual to raising money for senior skip day. As students grow and change throughout the year, they gain more respon- sibility and, in turn, gain more respect from both teachers and classmates.

This is what most of the class of '87 did during the senior ski trip, as only three of them had skied before. The bunny slope was littered with skiing apparel and flailing limbs belonging exclusively to the seniors. To- wards the end of the day (when they got the hang of the chair lift), the seniors decided to try the more difficult slopes; thus spewing equipment throughout the entire ski resort, as few of them made it down any of these slopes, either! It was a great day for skiing. The night be- fore, a foot of fresh powder covered the slopes resulting in the best skiing the Black Hills pro- duced during the year. However, any skier knows that when you ski, you work up quite an appetite. The seniors dined in several pizza parlors during the trip. They were also privi- leged enough to go to the famous Sluice Steakhouse. The seniors’and their chaperones spent the long trip home trying to ease sore muscles and attempting to catch up on lost sleep 6 Seniors The seniors on the class trip: Back row: Laura Heirigs.

Seniors often feel that they need a vacation; especially as the year draws to a close. This class has al- ways been famous for its procrastinat- ing and can always find an excuse not to do anything that might burn up calo- ries! Clowning around and harassing everyone from teachers to unsuspec- ting freshmen are two qualities that this class contains. Tardiness also runs in their blood as several of them rarely made it to school on time. Laziness may be in their blood, but when a teacher asks for help, a se- nior is always there to lend a hand. Many of them are involved in extra- curricular activities including declam, mural painting, and helping out the grade school teachers. All of these jobs are mundane, and not too many people volunteer for them, but after getting a little encouragement from members of the Hurley faculty, the se- nior class is always eager to tackle any job! Donovan, Rod, and Tim urge the wheel' on as they play a hot game of Wheel of Fortune during one of their study halls. No one is quite sure just who won the game! 8 Seniors joddie, Hope, and Helen sit in the library and make an attempt to figure out their math assignment. a Mrs. Trenerry gives Jodi some words of advice about her cos- tume.

They had en- dured thirteen years of school to reach this final pinnacle . . . graduation. As the Hurley Band played Pomp and Circumstance, the thirteen seniors marched into the gym wearing robes of royal blue. The class motto hung on the stage behind them as they sat and listened to the valedicto- ry and salutatory addresses. After receiving their diplomas, the gym burst into applause as the Class of 87 left the gym. As the seniors said farewell to HHS, tears were shed, but each senior knew that their memories of high school will always be there. i ; M K Rod Anderson Mike DeNeui Roger Dumont Helen Falconer Jackie Georgeson Paula Georgeson Donovan Hansen Class of 87 Laura Heirigs Jodi Homan Hope Johnson Dorothy Kluckman Joddie Poppenga Tim Spomer Valedictorian Jackie Georgeson gives her speech during graduation ceremonies. a The Class of 1987 congratulates themselves on a job well- done as they stand in the receiving line after graduation. ► Junior Escorts: Nina Neimi, Jamie Jacobson, Greg John- son. and Wendy Andersen. 12 Graduation The class of 1987 is all smiles as they prepare to leave the gym as graduates of Hurley High School The flower carriers were Paul Rayburn and Jill Oltmanns.

Juniors! Time to take the ACT, build prom, take chemistry, and sand- wich other activities somewhere in between! Of course the highlight of the year is getting to put on a prom. The excitement starts in November and doesn’t stop until it’s over in May! Even the juniors can get sick of all the planning! I think I’m going to die the next time someone says ‘PROMT’ was Howard Georgeson’s wiy of letting everyone know how excited hejv was about everything! Chemistry was one class many of the j juniors found ‘trying’’ throughout the year. Trying to blow up the school by mix-V ing chemicals together and trying to get the chemical formula for nitroglycerin out of Mr. Ward were two of the many ’peaceful” things done in chemistry. T The juniors had fun building a float that won the Homecoming Parade and dis- cussing their favorite television show “ALF”. One other activity that seemed very important to some juniors was hang- ing around in the hall, waiting for that spe- cial “someone” to appear!

I'm going to test out of biology in college! says Kathy Jorgensen. This class’ favorite activity is relaxing, although they rarely have time for it! Many are involved in sports, and all of them like to “cruise with their friends. This cruising has caused a few problems!

Teresa Abbas Jennifer Adrain Kristin Aeschlimann Mark Bunger Aaron Gerdes Jeremy Hansen Growing Pains Initiation. The most feared word in the freshmen vocabulary! The utterance of this word struck terror in each and every freshmans heart! Initiation, (once it’s over!) isn't all bad. With this initi- ation comes privilege, which leads to re- sponsibility. There isn't a freshman alive who hasn't always wanted to finally be part of the “high school crowd.” Surviving initi- ation and lots of pushups is just part of growing up. The term initiation is not the only word the freshmen are aware of. They also seem to be very acquainted with the terms homework, pain, and mean upperclass- men! Mention the words pushup or front row, and most, if not all of the freshmen, will be inclined to turn their heads. People say learning how to handle re- sponsibilities under pressure is all part of growing up. Whether it be through initia- tion or learning, these kids are on their way!

The sev- enth and eighth graders learned how to adjust to new roles in life. Did anyone see ALF last night? Walking into an eighth grade class on Tuesday morning without seeing ALF was a capital offense! Kristin Woodward and Molly Gerdes had a unique reason for watching ALF. “Alf makes Mondays go by faster!” This strange sentiment was echoed by other eighth graders also! Why was this show so popular? Only the eighth graders know! Although it is hard to believe, this group of 10 kids can do some- thing besides watch TV! Many of the students are involved in sports, and half the class is a part of the band. Being the new kids on the block was a challenge for many of the seventh graders. Not knowing where to go and learning how to make the most of the three min- utes between classes were things that took patience and a lot of de- termination. “Getting to be part of the high school crowd is great, but it sure took some getting used to, ” said Beth Trenerry. Learning how to juggle home- work, sports, and fun were quite a problem for the class at first. Eventually, most of them got the hang of it. Even their teachers no- ticed the improvement. “Their ad- justment period is over. I think they are finally used to junior high,” said their geography teach- er, Mr. Kent Wolford.

They are always doing something! The fifth grade, taught by Mrs. Jan Harmon, achieved many thingsN that were thought to be impossible in the fourth grade. Learning huge spel- ling words and playing an instrument weren’t as hard as everyone thought! Studies were difficult, but fun. While studying about Pilgrims, the students ate a real ‘Pilgrim” meal. The sixth grade was not to be out- done! Members of the girls basketball team (including the fifth grade) could boast of an undefeated season. The boys also chalked up a good season of play, as they gained the experience they needed for future years. Whether it was studying capitals or just having fun; this class is always capable of showing their stuff! Fifth Grade, Back row; D.J. Ebdrup, Angie Reiners, Chris Goettertz, Corey Anderson.

Growing and Changing Trying to describe the third and fourth graders can sometimes be very difficult. At one moment they are hard at work on book reports and taking spelling tests, and the next thing you know they are planning parties, discussing who is going to win the Super Bowl, and going out for re- cess. With their teachers, Mrs. Beverly Spomer and Ms. Connie McGinnis, the students made it a year to remember! Everyone took part in the ' Book It pro- gram sponsored by Pizza Hut. Book It motivated the students to read books by offering a pizza to the kids who read the required amount of books. This was very beneficial to both education and the kids’ appetites! After a year of growing and chang- ing, the third and fourth graders are ready to climb up another rung of th§ ladder; a rung they hope will be as excit- ing as the last. jSL-jf Clint Schroedermeier gets caught by the camera as he prepares to leave the third grade classroom.

The kindergarten class had a very busy year under their teacher, Mrs. Diane DeGroot. They started their own bug col- lection and earned a class pizza party dur- ing the “Book It” program. Already look- ing to the future, the kids took a computer class! Next stop: First grade! This year’s first graders polished up on their ABC's and 123’s with their teacher, Mrs. Jean Lounsbery. They also learned how to read on their own. Taking a trip to Newton Hills and get- ting to tour their first fire station were just some of the things the second graders were able to do. Their teacher, Mrs. Kelly Preheim also used the “buddy” system with the biology students. First Grade- Back row; Joshua Leber, Brian Plahn, Jason Tronbak.

Taking Control I ve spent seventeen years in I education and never had the I fun I’m having this year!’’ I Those are the words of Hur- ley School’s superintendent and ele- mentary principal. Mike Elsberry is in his first year as helmsman of the school. He brings with him a doctorate degree in ed- ucation and a strong leadership style which he uses to keep the school run- ning smoothly and effectively. Of course, Mr. Elsberry is one of many people vital to the success of a school. Secondary principal Don Plahn has been employed in that position for the past five years. His experience and enjoyment of young people make him an asset to the school. Overseeing the operation of the school is the board of education. Al- though it isn’t always the most popular job in town, it is one that is necessary. This group of people is dedicated to the improvement of education. The student council is a group of re- sponsible young people who represent the whole student body. Their most im- portant job is to provide the communica- tion link between the students and the administration. Running the affairs of the school was the job of these seven people Left to Right; Jim Georgeson. Ralph Duxbury. Don Rayburn. Supt Mr. Elsberry. Business Manager Judy Gerdes. Board President Keith Bagley. and Lowell Andersen As superintendent, Mr. Mike Elsberry was in charge of the basic functioning of the school. a Principal Don Plahn endured a lot of harassing from the stu- dents. but still managed to keep a firm reign on the happenings in the high school. He was also the athletic director. ► Student Council: Fourth row; D Hansen. T. Spomer Third row; D. Kluckman, P. Rayburn, N. Neimi. Second row; K. Jorgensen, E. Elsberry Front row; A.

Mrs. Judy Gerdes took over the position, and along with Betty, has seen and done everything from nursing a bleeding cut to balancing all of the school s books! Having every teacher constantly wan- ting information on something would give anyone a headache! Betty and Judy are two of the most patient people any of the teachers know. These two ladies appear to be able to do three things at once, in- cluding leaping a tall building in a single bound! As Betty prepared to leave the school staff, friends and family decided to throw her a farewell party at the school. Former teachers at Hurley came and Betty was honored in many different ways. Hurley s mayor, Marie Anderson, even declared December 19 as official “Betty Eidem Day'' in Hurley. Everyone was sad to see Betty go, but Judy Gerdes came in and did a fine job of taking over Betty’s position in a short peri- od of time. Judy is the backbone of both teachers and administration. With her help, things run smoothly! Judy Gerdes took over the job of business manager after Betty Ei- dem 's retirement. She was a welcome addition to the staff. Betty Eidem is shown here with family and friends during Betty Day The day was held in honor of all the work Betty has done during her 22 years of sevice. We ll miss you. Betty! Business Managers 27 01 H hand experience w ri ey7acT5rto - making the grade at HHS this year. More field trips and fun made learning science and math a much more rewarding experi- ence! How would you decide what colors are in a small sample of hydrogen? No chemistry stu- dent knew until an interesting lab experiment was done! Working with the help of their teacher, Mr. Alan Ward, the students made their own spectrometer and distin- guished between color bands in elements. This was just one of many labs in this difficult but fun class! The students learned a lot through their hands-on experience! Where did all of this neat stuff come from? Numerous students uttered this state- ment when they entered Mr. Hands-On “Chemistry is a tough subject. Mr. Ward made learning it fun, but it was definitely a challenge!” -Sheila Woodward, Junior v. Gary Galvin s science room. A vast array of objects were on display in his room — every- thing from snakes to ancient rocks! Most of Mr. Galvin’s students were assigned bud- dies in the grade school. The high school students explain- ed any questions that the younger students had and took them on tours of the sci- ence labs. All of the science classes were treated to at least one field trip, ranging from hiking at Newton Hills to visiting the Augustana sci- ence fair. How do you apply the bino- mial series to probability? Only two people in HHS know the answer — Mr. Randy Holzkamm and senior math student Jackie Georgeson. “Mr. Holzkamm is very smart, but gets it down to our level,” stated Jackie. In addition to the advanced classes, stu- dents from grades 7-12 can attest to monumental amounts of math homework. 'We learn by doing,” states Mr. Holzkamm. Many senior high students are also en- rolled in consumer math, which is taught by none other than our IA instructor, Mr. Tom Christiansen. Together, these instructor run a difficult but very successful friath pro- gram at HHS. a Mr. Ward attempts to help Paul figure out a difficult chemistry prob- lem.

Writing term papers wasn't all that was done in this year's English classes which were taught by both Mrs. Aeschli- mann and Mrs. Loretta Tren- erry.

Besides doing term pa- pers, the juniors and the sen- iors spent time reading works by various authors ranging from Willa Cather to William Shakespeare. Creative writing talents were abundant in ev- ery English class as everyone was required to write in jour- nals every week. Foreign language at HHS had an interesting twist in it this year. Nina Neimi, a foreign exchange student from Fin- land, was the only person who took Spanish I! This was the fourth language she has learned. Also, Mrs. Trenerry traveled to Viborg every morn- ing to teach Spanish II. The social studies courses were made interesting this year by Mr. Kent Wolford s new way of teaching. Instead of sitting in the traditional rows and hearing a history lecture, he formed groups to help students help them- selves learn. Each group had a leader and he she was in charge of getting and keeping the group on track. It made things more of a challenge, and also made the students take an active role in their edu- cation. As the year came to a close, the teachers and students looked back with pride and could say, well done.” a Mrs. Aeschlimann tries to an- swer Ricky's question during En- glish II. In addition to teaching high school English, she also combined with the music directors to create an All-School Musical. ► Mrs. Trenerry helps Nina Neimi with her Spanish I worksheet.

Most students find this a real learning experi- ence. Home ec is no longer just for girls! Many guys have de- cided that they are going to need to cook and sew when they enter the “real’’ world. Watching the boys attempt to sew a button hole is some- times extremely funny, but many of them have practiced and now can do a button hole better than any of the girls! Of course, with all of the boys taking home ec,lyou can expect to find some gtfls in shop. The eighth grade girls take shop for an entire semes- ter, and several other girls are involved in some of the other industrial arts classes. “Textbook work dur- ing woodworking isn’t nearly as fun as the hands on experi- ence.’’ -Hudley Koemer, Freshman FHA has taken on a new meaning under home ec teacher and advisor Lavonne Meyer's direction. Nineteen people took Action Activity Events to the district meeting in Beresford, and all received a superior rating. Jackie Geor- geson served as a district offi- cer and gave Hurley a bigger voice in the crowd. New activi- ties were undertaken here at home by the FHA. An FHA pic- nic was held along with a fund raiser for the March of Dimes. Of course, the Sweetheart Ball was put on and, with the help of Mr. Preheim and his stereo, was a huge success. Shop and agriculture clas- ses can include many things. From auto mechanics to wel- ding, wood-working to bull judging, students learn many practical skills from their in- structors. Mr. Stapleton keeps his classes caught up with the newest technology as he has incorporated the com- puter as a tool for his stu- dents. vXom Christiansen brings years of work experi- ence into his classroom.

If you see a stu- dent with accounting papers strewn over two or three desks you know they are com- pleting a frustrating but rewar- ding simulation in Mr. Pre- heim’s Accounting I class. “Mr. Preheim gives us a lot of work but when you are done you know it,” commented Kathy Jorgensen. In addition to an Accounting II class which involved the application of computerized accounting, the business curriculum in- cludes two years of typing and a business law class. Typing I students were taught how to use the word processor during the final se- “Mr. Preheim made comput- er fun. It was never dull!” - Rod Ander- son mester. They were one of the first classes to learn the word processor technique during their first year of typing. Mr. Preheim also teaches three levels of computer sci- ence. Students learn various things such as the history of computers, use of software, word processing, and pro- gramming in the first semes- ter. The next two semesters are primarily programming and getting into the advanced features of the computer. The seniors spent a day at Augus- tana College in Sioux Falls working with various compu- ters and attending mini- workshops which dealt with computers. Other classes also use the computer room for their stud- ies. All of the English classes used the word processor for their term papers.

The friendships that are made during high school are remembered long after graduation is over. There is no monetary value that can be placed on a friendship. In high school, friendships are of- ten more important because of the growing and changing that teenagers experience. Everybod N needs someone they can confide in; someone they can trust. Friends influence the way teenagers think, act, and dress. Friends often have more con- trol over what one does than do one s own par- ents! That special friend gets one through the worst of times and makes the best times that much more enjoyable. And, of course, the high school years mean dating. The friendships made here can be the most fun, and the most painful. In a school the size of Hurley, the students are all friends to some degree. A special bond devel- ops as you are not a number, but an important part of a small alldgience — a student from Hurley High School. ___________________________ ► Donnie, Greg, and Jamie gather around thetr new shop project to play penny basket- ball. 36 Student Life Molly, Kristin A., Kristin W., Steph, and Carmen relax with their basket- ball cake during the Watertown Bas- ketball Tournament. ► Jodi Homan takes a break from her strenuous studies to give Kathy Jor- gensen some friendly advice.

After being cooped up in a dis- mal schoolroom learning everything from A to Z. spring is a welcome word among Hurley High students. Spring brings with it warm weather, and warm weather means out- door fun. From April on, teachers have to deal with spring fever. Classrooms can get really drab when students can look out the window and see the sun- shine beaming down out of a clear blue sky! Any girl in Hurley would tell you that the spring sun is perfect for getting a tan. Ask any boy the same question, and some of them would say that the warm weather means motorcyle riding while others would say it means a long summer of work ahead! ________ Spring also brings with it the end of school. For most of the students it is a happy occurance. But for some, especially the seniors, it can be a very sad event. Spring brings with it the reality of the future lying ahead. ►Tim Spomer and Donovan Hanaen show their culinary ta- lents during the annual senior home ec barbeque. a Having tun in the sun is all Jeremy Hansen and Kent Mehihaf care about as they engage in a friendly arm wres- Ai: —— irinir h umg fnmuiT. ► Coach Holzkamm, Donovan H., and Chad B. discuss several strategies to use in the upcoming medley relay. 38 Student Life Rod Anderson and Jimmy Jager do their best to imitate their favorite As their senior days of school come to a dose, Hope wrestling heroes — Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage.

Student Life 39 ATHLETICS What do you think of when sameone ays mey participate in an athletic activity? Do youfhink of basketball or possibly track? Some of the most important participants in athletics often go unnoticed. They are the fans. We do so much better in a game when we have a lot of fans cheering us on, said junior girls basketball player Sheila Woodward. Of course these fans did have something to watch; sharp-shooting girls on the basketball team, hard-work ing football players, a volleyball team that took third in the region tournament, fast-breaking boys on the basketball team, and a vast array of talented tracksters.The cheerleaders and fans were always at each of these events cheering the Bulldogs on to victory. a The senior members of this ► Sheila Woodward towers over year's HHS football team; Rod the defense and launches a jump Anderson, Mike DeNeui, Tim shot to lead the Bulldog team to a Spomer. and Donovan Hansen, victory over Canistota. Chad Ness soars over the Viborg defender to- wards the hoop to add two points to Hurley's total during the Tri-Valley boys basketball tournament Teamwork Makes the Difference As the girls basketball players entered the 1986- 87 basketball season, they knew that teamwork was an essential part of each and every game. With only two seniors on the team, the players looked to each other to provide leadership. Through every practice, this dedicated group was driven with the hopes of victory. Every day of prac- tice brought new lessons and new ideas. Teamwork was an important ingredient in every game they played and was stressed all season long by head coach Gary Galvin. I felt that this season we got along much bet- ter than we ever have before. To win you have to play as a team, not as individuals,” stated senior center Dorothy Kluckman. Sweat and practice weren’t the only components of the season. Friendships and lasting memories became an important asset to the girls, especially during the long bus- rides to the other towns. The season was full of ups and downs, but the team managed to maintain a record of 10-10. Throughout the entire season, the girls were always told to remember that teamwork does make the differ- ence. ► Jody Kaarup gets off another shot before the defense can get organized.

Se- nior Co-captain's Donovan Hansen, Tim Spomer, Rod Ander- son, and Mike DeNeui did their best to set an example for the rest of the Bulldogs to follow. When the rest of the team needed advice, they knew they could turn to the seniors. This year’s Bulldog team was composed of some young but expe- rienced players. New head coach Kent Wolford inherited a team with few players but a lot of game experi- ence. These players were small, but made up for their lack of size with excellent speed and hitting ability. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, injur- ies to several key players seemed to come at the critical situation in many games. Donovan Hansen was voted the team's Most Valuable Player. Han- sen also was named to the All-Con- ference squad. Junior Paul Rayburn received the Hustler Award. Both Rayburn and classmate Howard Georgeson received All-Conference honorable mention honors. Sopho- more Todd Spomer was named the team's overall Most Improved Play- er for the 1986-87 football season. ► Hurley’s offensive line holds back the de- fensive onrush just long enough for Howard Georgeson to squeak by for a first down. ► Tim Spomer drops back into the pocket and scans the field for an open Bulldog receiver.

Football 45 The Name of the Game People often wonder just what kind of sport volley- ball is. Many think it in- volves little practice and even less effort. People don’t actual- ly realize how much time is spent practicing every aspect of the game. Under the new and invigorating coaching techniques of Mr. Randy Holzkamm, the team practiced just as hard as they would have in any other sport. To increase the girls' jumping abilities, he introduced the squat jumping technique. Just the mention of these two little words brought terror and eventually ex- haustion upon the girls. Dedication was the name of the game for the team and their coach. Practicing on Friday nights showed that the team wanted to go as far as destiny would take them. Even early morning practices during Christmas vacation didn't dampen the enthusi- asm of the team. As a few tears were shed after a crushing season-ending loss to Viborg, the team sat in the dimly lit locker room and reflected on the joys that the season had brought them. They all agreed that a 12-8 re- cord was nothing to be ashamed of! ► The perfect view of the strategic setup for a Bulldog kill spike. ► Dorothy and Hope take a break from their stren- uous activity to attack some munchies in the locker room during the region volleyball tournament. ▼ Jackie Georgeson takes a bad bump and makes an excellent backwards save to prevent Viborg from scoring a point. ‘‘This year went a lot better than last year.

Volleyball 47 A Season of Near Misses Hard work and a lot of extra effort were the key ingre- dients to this year’s boys basketball season. Boys could often be found after practice “shooting hoops” or working on free throws. Although the team record was only 7-13, over half of the games were lost by 10 points or less and two were lost in overtime. Foul trou- ble, turnovers, and the ball bouncing the wrong way haunted the Bulldogs at the end of close games. New head coach Kent Wolford inherited a young but experienced Bulldog team in his first year of coaching boys basketball at Hurley. Three senior boys were always there to provide leadership. It is no surprise that these three led the team in nearly every category. Do- novan Hansen led the team in scor- ing and rebounding and was named the team's Most Valuable Player. Rod Anderson was the “3-point” man and was given the team's Hustler Award. Tim Spomer ran the offense for much of the year and led both in steals and assists. The loss of the seniors will be felt, as the team is going to be looking for new leadership next season. ► Donovan Hansen uses the screen set by Chad Boomgarden to take his defender out of the play.

Whatever the word may be, it would always center around challenges, victories, or even heartbreaking defeats.

Dur- ing the season, many records were broken and numerous medals won. At the close of the season, six girls and three boys qualified in their respective events for the State Track Meet held in Madison and Sioux Falls. The medley relay team, consisting of Jodi Homan, Jill Olt- manns, Steph Petersen, and Jody Kaarup, participated in the State Meet as did Jackie Georgeson in the shot put.

Maintaining crowd control is an as- pect of cheerleading that many people never consider. If the fans get excited during the game, it is the cheerleader’s job to keep them from getting out of control. In a close game, this is often easier said than done. 'Pv New ideas were added this) year. Different routines w made up and line dances were de- veloped to give every cheerleader a chance to show her individuality and creativity. New pyramids were made to fire up the crowd in a new and unique way. Every cheerlead- er tried hard to be creative and in- vent new “Bulldog” cheers to use in game situations. Cheerleading tryouts were held in May, under the instruction of the departing seniors. The un- derclassmen learned new cheers and how to cover their mistakes.

The 7-8 grade girls bas- ketball team didn’t fair as well record-wise with a mark of 2-10.

Activities take up a large chunk of the students' time, and most of that time is spent after school is done. Nearly every group in Hur- ley has meetings after school. Other activities are much more fun for students. There was a large showing for all of the events during Homecoming Week. Students put a lot of effort into deco- rating the stage, building floats, and organizing the pa- rade for this special occasion. The juniors also spent many .beursTrrMay building Prom and hoping to make it a 'bope-in-a-lifetVne event. Giving-That-extra effort and taking chances in hopes of succeeding is what activities are all about. 1 Annual advisor Mr. Preheim gives Howard and Paul a hand with some tricky layouts.

Caught In The Reign “Coronation was a very special night. I will never forget it.’’ - Hope Johnson Color hues of light blue, pink, and crisp white transformed an ordinary stage into an extraordinary background for the set- ting of the 1986-1987 Hurkota Home- coming Coronation. As the chorus began singing “Candle on the Water1' the Honor Guards solemnly marched into the middle of the gymnasium and crossed their swords high in the air as the Junior Escorts led the candidates and the Ladies of the Court into the gymnasium. While the candidates and everyone in the gym wondered who had won, the Ladies of the Court introduced and briefly talked about each candi- date. Finally, the magic moment arrived. Last year’s Queen and King, Steph Lange and Jamie Boom- garden, announced this year's new royalty; Queen Hope Johnson and King Donovan Hansen. The gym burst into applause as the new King and Queen walked out underneath the Honor Guard’s swords. The evening was not over! Immediately fol- lowing the crowning, spirits were lifted even higher as the pep rally began. The cheerleaders conduct- ed the rally in a way that spread the excitement to everyone in the crowd. After several speeches, both the football and girls basketball teams were presented. Following several class skits, the cheerleaders got the crowd fired up as the King and Queen led everyone into the parking lot to wit- ness the traditional burning of the H . As Dono- van and Hope ignited the heavily oiled “H“, it burst into a fiery array of hot reds, brilliant yellows, and glowing oranges. The night ended with this scen- ery in the background as the crowd slowly drifted away. Swordsmen. Back row: Greg Johnson, Duane Falconer; Mid- dle row: Jeremy Hansen. Paul Rayburn. Mike DeNeui.

Everyone seemed to be in a hurry throughout the week as they tried to find the perfect formal for Coronation or just tried to find some black spray paint for their float. Float JSuildlna is a tradition at Hurley High. Two div- isionsSi ve been created and classes compete against one another to win the right to brag about their float buijding talent for the rest of the year. The theme for thi yfear’s float building was “magazines . Each class chose their own magazine name to build around. The winners were the jun- iors (in the senior division) and the eighth grade (in the ju- nior higtujivision). th{s yeari building of the “H wasn’t nearly as slick as last year's turned out to be, but the H-Club members put in a lot of hard work to provide the highlight of Corona- tion. During the entire week of Homecoming, different days are set aside for the students (and often the teachers) to dress and act in different ways. Pajama Day and, of course, Dress Down Day were two of the students' favorites this - year. The final events of the week were the Hurkota Days Parade and the football game against Viborg. The parade was held in bright sunshine, and the many entries added to the week's festivities. Although the football game was lost, the fans were treated to an excellent battle between two very equal teams. The exciting week came to a close with a movie provided by the student council after the foot- ball game. Todd Spomer and Chad Ness get a much needed meal during the sophomore class skit.

Homecoming Week 61 Will You Still Love Me “Sweetheart Ball was really fun. Ev- eryone seemed to be enjoying them- selves.” - Tim Spomer The morning of February 7 was a hectic one for many of the members of the FHA. The gym had to be decorated, tapes had to be found, and punch made for the up- coming Sweetheart Ball. The music was provided from a different source this year. Busi- ness teacher Brad Preheim brought his Bradbo On Wheels sound system into the gym. Every- one brought their tapes and Bradbo was only too happy to play all of the latest hits; from Bon Jovi to Leon Redbone! Finally the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived. After the candle carriers slowly walked into the gym to the music of Chica- go’s Will You Still Love Me, they formed a circle and solemnly wai- ted for the candidates to enter. As soon as all of the candidates were in the gym, last year’s Queen and King, Tammy Adrian and Randy Weier, announced this year’s roy- alty; Jodi Homan and Tim Spomer.

Under the direction of Mrs. Bergjord, Mrs. Aeschli- mann, and Mrs. Williams, the All-School Musical was again performed this year.) The title of the play that was pre sented was “Happy Days.” The play centered around the action at Al’s, a teen hangout. Al had forgotten to renew his lease and now the Appleton sisters were going to open a shiek bou- tique ' in his diner. Al is also upset because he misses his girl, Cindy. When Mr. and Mrs. Cunning- ham agree to help with a New Year s Eve Party, the fun really be- gins. Fonzie solves both of Al’s troubles at one time as he finds out that one of the Appleton sis- ters is Al’s former girlfriend Cindy. As they are reunited, the clock strikes midnight and the teens usher in the new year in style. Numerous practices and a lot of patience went into the creation of this year s musical. Several ex- tras were used to give various scenes added effects. A band made up of a drummer, an electric guitar player, and a piano player was formed to accompany the singers throughout the play. The Fonz (Chad Boomgarden) listens intent- ly to the problem so he can help find the solu- tion.

Play 63 A Night In Paris “The juniors did a good job building Prom. The banquet and Kanaranzi were both really enjoy- able.” - Jodi Homan A cafe near the Eiffel Tower in pictur- esque Paris was the setting for Prom 1987. The juniors decided to make this year s Prom like none before. Trees with realistic looking buds and lights were used to give the gym a “spring’1 effect. An Eiffel Tower was also made to make the setting even more realistic. A mai- tre’d seated the guests, and the waiters and waitresses served each table individually. The gym was decorated icunaroon, pink, black, and white, and a(marqui£ was con- structed for the couples under. After a meal cooked by the junior moth- ers, Greg Hansen gave a talk on ambitions.

The “Sounds of Mu- sic” were heard throughout the halls of Hurley on April 24, as the Hurley High School was the setting for this year’s Choir Festival. Eight high schools and junior high schools brought their best singers to work together and to perform a concert for the public. The bell choir was active again this year as the girls rang their bells during the Christmas concert and did a special number during the fes- tival. All-State Chorus members this year were Jack- ie Georgeson, Wendy Andersen. Rod Ander- son, and Duane Falconer. Mrs. Bergjord directs the bell choir as they prac- tice to give a perfect performance. Helen Falconer and Steph Petersen concentrate on hitting the right note and getting all of the motions for the song that was done by the chorus in sign language. Chorus 67 Playing To Win Numerous contests and con- certs made up a large portion of this year s jazz band and swing choir schedule. The jazz band performed at Augustana, the University of South Dakota, and the Nebraska Technical Community College in Norfolk, Nebraska while the swing choir participated at the Univer- sity of South Dakota and at Nebraska Technical Community College. The jazz band pulled off what some might call a ‘‘miracle’’ as they came home from NTCC with a I rating. The swing choir was often mistak- en for a traveling beach party as they dressed Hawaiian and sang a Beach Boys Medley when performing. In ad- dition to performing at all of the music contests, the swing choir gave the crowd at the All-School Musical a per- formance never to be forgotten! Jazz Band. Back row: Mike D..

Several eighth grade girls also helped out the high school students at the music festival and at graduation. Dorothy and Toto came out in full force as the junior high (along with the 5th and 6th graders) presented the musical ‘The Wizard of Oz” under the direction of Mrs. Bergjord during the Spring concert. Many hours of prac- tice and hard work went into the mak- ing of the play which was presented at the Spring Concert in May. The music festival held at Hurley involved not only high school stu- dents, but junior high students as well. The junior high students presented their own program after five hours of hard work under the direction of a guest conductor from Sioux Falls. 5th Grade Band. Back row: Brad L.. Jimmy G.. Corey A..

Cre- ativity is also a must when it comes to belonging to either of these groups. The paper staff is composed of seven girls who cover everything from basketball games to community events. The articles are written, edi- ted, and sent over to the Hurley Leader office where they are published in the weekly paper. Every event in high school leaves a special memory in the mind of at least one high school student. It is the job of the annual staff to capture these memories and condense them into eighty pages. Many hours are spent by-annual staff members and their ad- visor Mr. Preheim trying to decide whW would be the best way to cover a certain event. Many discussions are held to insure that the coverage the annual gives will trigger memories now and in the future. Annual Staff. Standing: Paul R., Tim S., Wendv A., Howard G.. Mr Preheim.

This is the neces- sary ingredient for a good organi- zation to be the best it can be. De- spite being loaded down with ho- mework, many students found time to be involved with the various clubs. The FHA HERO chapter had a fine year as 19 members received superior ratings on their AAE’s at the regional meeting and all 19 par- ticipated at the state convention. The pep club spread Bulldog fe- ver before and during every game. H-Club is composed of the various students who have lettered. The H- Club also build the “H”.

Parker Classified 79 The Final Act The final act of a school year for the students of HHS is the completion of the yearbook. Even after graduation, the state track meet, and report cards, the students on the Hur- kota Staff are busy finishing the yearbook. As a staff, we take a lot of pride in our product, and this year is no exception. We try to be competitive, chasing that ever elusive All-State rating. But our supreme objective, the one with which we always concern ourselves, is that the year is covered to the student body’s satisfaction. We tried to be fair and objective in our coverage and hope that somewhere, everyone was caught in the act. We would like to thank everyone who supported us financially. The cost of having a book made in such a small quantity is quite great, and the advertis- ers help to pay this cost. Their help allows us to maintain high quality and to sell the book at a cost that the students can afford. We hope you enjoyed this edition of the “Hurkota” as much as we enjoyed catching you “in the act. Chad Boomgarden chuckles as he throws Coach Wolford into the shower after a victory over Viborg in the Tri-Valley Confer- ence Tournament. Disappointment is evident in the faces of Rod and Donovan after Jackie manages to show a smile after being awakened by the losing the final football game of their senior year. camera during the senior class trip. 80 Closing
