Alcester High School - Cubette Yearbook (Alcester, SD)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1963 volume:

� • • This Is Our Story 1 Foreword Just as a short story has a plot, characters, and local color; so in our book we have similar classifications. As we present our story of Alcester High School in 1962-63, we hope that you will enjoy it and that it will become one of the well-read books on your bookshelf. Our purpose in preparing the 19624963 Cubette is to promote by use of pictures a better understanding of our school life, and to help us recall those school day memories which we hope will remain with us throughout our entire lives. 7 Table of Contents Characters 5 ... .the powers that be... .self-confident seniors with their sentimental ways.... independent juniors who ignore seniors, tolerate sophomores, and date freshmen. .. .timid sophomores who relish heckling freshmen... .last, but certainly not least, the 41 fresh men—baffled, bewildered, and burdened down with books.

Likewise, what would AHS be like without the ad- ministrative members--the thirty-two sophisticat- ed seniors—the forty-two jovial juniors—the forty- three silly sophomores--or the forty-two once green, but now educated freshman? These old and young give us our story characters. '5 Guiding The Students Mrs. Herbo Id German Counselor B.S.-U.S.D. M. Ed.-U.S.D. Mrs. Ericson Home Economics B.S.-S.D.S.C.

Student Council Voices Student Opinion The student council headed by President Larry Abrahamson carried on the usual activities of the student body. The March of Dimes drive, one of its annual activities, sold shoe strings and had a ’blan- ket toss” at one of the basketball games, as a means of raising funds. Other officers of the council were—David St. Pierre, Vice-President and Janene Mollet, Secretary-Treas- urer. Larry Abrahamson Student Body President 9 Not Merely to Exist, but to LARRY ABRAHAMSON Many lasting impressions have been made by the 32 gradu- ating seniors during their high school years. The memory of 'what we did when we were in high school will never be for- gotten. The class play casts spent many long and exciting hours rehearsing for two very successful productions. Long hours of athletic practice created much excitement and satis- faction for many of the senior boys who participated in sports throughout their four years of high school. Skip day was an- other event which highlighted their high school days. Class parties also added fun-spots during these years. Among the subjects undertaken by the seniors this year were : home economics, agriculture, bookkeeping, government and social problems, English, chemistry, shorthand, and sociol- ogy and economics. College entrance exams were an impor- tant event during the year for the college-bound students. The senior class chose white roses for their class flower and lilac and white for their class colors.

SUSAN WESTIN SHARON WESTLINC 15 Juniors Receive Class Rings Alan Abraham Curtis Abrahamson Loren Anderson Marlyn Dietrich Pat Doty Bette Draves The past year has been the busiest and most exciting since the forty-two juniors star ted high school. The excite- ment began in the fall when they ordered their class rings. Every student found himself busy with his studies. They included chemistry, English, Ameri- can history, typing, German, sociology and economics, home economics, ag- riculture, and shorthand. Greg Ham- merstrom, a former Alcester student, returned in January to finish high school here. The class play was presented in March after many long hours of fun- filled rehearsals. Planning and decorat- ing for the Junior-Senior Banquet climaxed the junior's successful year.

Come Out of the Closet Take your filthy hands off me! Miss Philips just fainted, but she's 'coming around' now! 32 The senior class presented their play on Nov- ember 9-10. To give more girls a chance to par- ticipate, the girls' parts were double casted. The plot centered around three young women who were eager, excited, and hoping to establish careers in New York. They were compelled by circumstances to rent an old, gloomy, run-down apartment from a greedy landlady on their first night in town. After moving in, the three girls met with many unusual experiences which were greatly enjoyed by the audience. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Es- ther Marble. Sit down, Squlnty---and shut up! Come out of there, Punk. The Junior class presented their play on March 28-29. The plot cen- tered around the problems of a young boy who gets into trouble trying to earn money to buy a bicycle by turn- ing his home into a boarding house while his parents are away. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Aaen with the assistance of Mr. Gaukel. Juniors Present. .. The Boarding House Reach SEATED: J. Kratochvil. Bernadine Smith; B. Draves, Roughhouse Ruby; J.

A mod- ern bus was chartered at Sioux City to take the class of '63 to their destination. During the morning the seniors enjoyed visiting Boys' Town. The early after- noon was spent touring the Joslyn Art Museum, and the balance of the afternoon was used for free time. The seniors ate a delicious dinner that evening at Bishop's Cafeteria. The remainder of the night was enjoyed at cinerama where The Wonderful World of the Brother's Grimm was playing. Mr. Herbold, the senior class advisor, accompanied the group.

This theme was carried out by various scenes of the deep sea, including a large wall mural of sea life; a sunken treasure chest and mermaid; hanging fish, seaweeds, nets and waves; an underwater castle, and a huge, lighted sea shell. Following the banquet, the prom was held in the auditorium with music furnished by the Jaguars. This was followed by a show in Hawarden, after which everyone returned to Alcester for pizza and pop. 44 Prom Scenes • • • Punch line ... and slow dances, too. 45 Students’ Sideline Activities Bring Honor to School Picture One: Charles Tiltrum, Helen Anderson, and Paul Thormodsgard went on a Science Field Trip to the Black Hills.

Alcester High students have the peculiarities of eating noon-day lunch in the gymnasium—of crown- ing a king and queen in October and a sweetheart in February--of athletic teams wearing blue and white and gold—and of a cornet trio practicing in the shower room. In these can be seen our local color. Cheerleaders Sound Off In the spring of 1962, the student body elected four cheerleaders—Susan Westin, Cynthia Trudeau, Judy Johnson, and Sharon Westling. Susan Westin was chosen head-cheer- leader . They w«re active in cheer leading at both the A and B games. They planned the pep meetings and also sponsored sever- al parties after the games.

Pep Club Cheers Cubs in Victory or Defeat The Pep Club was very important to the athletic teams of Alcester High School. This organization gave our school spirit backbone, and it helped to create enthusiasm for ath- letics throughout the school and community. The Pep Club also provided a service to the community by sponsoring a coat check for ill home basketball games. Pep Club officers check the record book. The coat check earned money for the Pep Club.

They broke several records which included most points scored in a game and most games won in a season. There were also several individual player records broken. Fifteen men lettered this year, and eleven will be returning. As the season drew to a close the all- conference players were chosen. Charles Tiltrum received this honor, and David St. Pierre and Larry Abrahamson were on the honorable mention roll.

The 1962-63 AlcesterCubs had a fairly success- ful season. They compiled a 12-11 record, finished fourth in the Big Seven Conference, and won the Consolation Championship of District 20. During Christmas vacation, the Cubs took sec- ond place in the Beresford Invitational Tournament. Alcester defeated Elk Point in a thrilling overtime contest. They were then defeated by a tall, high- ly ranked Brandon Valley quintet. This hard- fought defensive battle resulted in the low, over- time score of 29-28. The Cubs began the year with a flourish and com- piled a 6-1 record before Christmas. Alcester easily defeated Chancellor in their first game, but they were soon trampled by the fast-breaking of- fense of West Sioux. Alcester walloped Hudson and then defeated Beresford in the conference opener with excellent free throw shooting. Viborg, Cen- terville--a conference foe--and Elk Point were the Cubs' next vic- Dallas Stene tims. Alcester's victory string ' was halted by the fourth ranked team in the state--Irene. Alcest- er proceeded to defeat Akron, lose to Augustana Academy in an over- time, and squeak past a young Larry Abrahamson Alan Abraham 54 Throughout the Season David St.Pierre Canton team. Elk Point--who twice before had been defeated by the Cubs -emerged victorious in a hard-fought conference game. Alcester was down- ed by Centerville, but rebounded well to win a Big Seven Conference game against a tall Lennox five. West Sioux invaded Alcester, and again they were victorious over the Cubs. Parker edged past the Cubs in a very close conference game. Hurley's Big Seven” champions lived up to their champion- ship title as they won over the Cubs. Irene's State Tournament bound Cardinals defeated the Cubs by the narrow margin of seven points. Alcester won over Chancellor in their opening game of the District Tournament. But they were defeated in the semi-finals by a surprisingly im- proved Beres ford team. The Cubs regained their early season form to regain the Consolation Champ- ionship by avenging an earlier defeat to Parker. This year's team showed a well balanced scoring attack, with three players averaging over ten points. Abrahamson set a re- bounding record, and Tucker broke the recovery and assist records. Larry and Tom represented Alces - ter on the all-conference team. Charles Tilt rum Here, you take it. 55 KNEELING: D. Anderson, T. Twedt, B. Ludwig, R. Gunnare, L. Thormodsgard, u.

During the season they compiled a 3-15 won lost record. The ’junior” Cubs defeated Hudson, Centerville, and Akron. They lost two very close games to Canton and Irene by a 1 point margin. Many of the games were close for the first half, but lack of experience proved costly during the second half. Many of the players were good hustlers and are fine prospects for nextyeart ”A” Team. At the end of the season, Robert Anderson was sel- ected by his teammates as the Most Improved and Most Valuable Player. Where's the ball? Tip-off between Lennox and Alcester.

The 880 relay team including Art Dobberstein, Curtis Abrahamson, Larry Abrahamson, and Charles Tiitrum broke the existing twenty-three year old record by running the event in 1:39.9. At the Region V track meet in Sioux Falls Charles Tii- trum qualified for the state meet in Mitchell by winning the Class A low hurdles. Larry Abrahamson placed in both hurdle events, as did Tom Cole in the pole vault. At the conference meet in Vermillion Leonard Elving won the mile, Larry Abrahamson and Charles Tiitrum tied for first in the low hurdles, and Larry won the high hurdles, with Charles placing third.
