Everything that it stands for was written by their lives. The flag is the em- bodiment, not of sentiment, but of history. It represents the exper- iences made by men and women, the experiences of those who do and live under that flag. --Woodrow Wilson For your admirable record of 23 years of service at Alcester, we dedicate this book to you, Mr. E.R. Dob- berstein. Those who have come to know you during your many years of service have become aware of your sound judg- ment, your concern for the long-range welfare of the in- dividual student, and your knowledge and support that you have given to Alcester. We dedicate the 1966 Cubette to you with gratitude and our sincere appreciation.

Westin; Secretary, M. Solberg. Increasing their academic knowledge in their individual fields of interest, the juniors chose from agriculture, home- making Algebra II, chemistry, typing, office practice, bookkeeping, world history, and German. English III, and American History were required subjects. The juniors successfully displayed their dramatic skills, drive, and cooperation in the production and presentation of The Miracle Worker . The eager wait was rewarded when the juniors received their class rings, a true sign of upperclassmen. Serving concessions at the basketball games helped raise the necessary money to finance the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Jackie Arends H.

Cubette Staff Prepares Memory Lines The annual staff under the supervision of Mr. Kirsch worked throughout the entire year to produce what they hoped would be one of the best annuals. Much of the time was spent in choosing a theme, planning the layout of the pages, preparing copy, and taking pictures. Marlene Ronning attended a workshop in Brookings to prepare herself for her job as editor of the annual. Many members of the annual staff attended the press convention in Brookings as well as a one-day workshop in Sioux Falls. SEATED: Mr. Ptak, Advisor; B. Mckellips. Art Editor; L. Fickbohm I. Mobere.

Dakota Reminds Students of Past and Future Lines The monthly publications of the DAKOTA kept the entire staff busy--from writing stories, to typing stencils and setting up pages. The staff worked under the aid and supervision of Mr. Melvin Ptak. Many extra hours were put into the production of the paper by the students to help make the DAKOTA a suc- cess. Each year the Senior staff trains the underclassmen who will carry on the following year. This page sponsored by: Paul's Produce, Alcester Feed Grain, Roger's Place 29 L. Fickbohm, P. Erickson, K.

Interest in Dramatics World Mother is a story of a woman, who, living in a town of homes, each a unit in Itself and apparently sufficient unto itself, believes that she is an ideal mother. She loves her children devot- edly, has never neglected them in any way, and if occasion demanded, would gladly give her life for them. Then, one day, a strange man passes by who shows her that even the lowliest animal does as much for its young, and that now, in this elev- enth hour, women are called upon, by the faith that the world has in them, to save this civilization by putting on a far greater motherhood.

When he returns for an over-night visit at home, he reveals that he is not going to follow the wish of his dead father, who wanted him to practice medicine in his own mountain village where the need for a doctor is great. Instead, he is going at once to the city where he can make more money at his profession. The disappointments of his family are great, and the misunderstanding between them and the young physician soon comes to a head. Why he decides to stay where he is needed most is told in the dra- matic climax of No Greater Love . 39 Seated: Mrs. Ericson, advisor; V. Wells, Reporter; M. Zweifel, Secretary; L. Fickbohm.

The Little Cubs Make The boys of the B-team started their season with a max- mium of energy and enthusiasm, but a minimum of skill and finesse.. The year was devoted to improving these skills that they might vie for an honored position on the varsity in future years. The little Cubs won five of their seventeen hotly-contested games during the season. a B-Line for the A-Line 58 Pain, perspiration, and perseverence, the essential ingredients of track, were experienced by those boys on the squad who strove to improve their skills through competitive races and field events. The little glory that was won by those who excelled in track was well returned by their individual feeling of accomplishment. Only the boys themselves could appreciate the sacrifices and hard work they showed at the many practices and the meets. The Cubs scored well at the West Sioux Invitational. Placing high in the relays at the Jefferson Invitational displayed our boys skill and determination in track. 1 ■ i i ' .f i y 'V 440 YARD DASH DISCUS ROW ONE: M. Pederson, M. Solberg, D. Doty, D.

I think of all the manpower that has been put between two hard covers and my head spins. Yet after each page was completed I felt a deep surge of satisfaction which made each effort worthwhile. Without the help of my staff and Advisor Mr. kirsch.this book would not be in your hands today. They not only assisted me in the production of this annual, they were also the chief source of my moral support. I will never forget all the fun, friendships, and wonderful experiences that I gained as Editor of vour ‘1966 CUBETTE '. 66 A
