Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1967 volume:

Forward This big world was full of happenings during our nine months together in 1966 and 1967. . . the war in Viet Nam expanded. . . England's Twiggy led the fashion rage in her mini-skirts. . . new information concerning Kennedy’s assassination was probed. . . Expo ’67 opened in Montreal. . . the entertainment world lost Walt Dis- ney. . . cases of congressional ethics were opened. . . the singing group of the Monkees stayed on the charts , and Frank Sinatra remained popular, too. . . our space program was set back after the tragic death of three Apollo astronauts in a test rur . . . ’’Mission: Impossible” received television's Emmy. . . soccer slowly developed as a new sport. . .”A Man for All Seasons” was awarded the Oscar as best play of the year, and Born Free was selected the best song of the year. . . youth experi- mented with the hallucinatory drug LSD while scientists sought to study its harmful effects. . . Medicare emerged . . . television, railroads, and truckers were involved in strikes. . . As students, we were aware of these happenings, but we were concerned with another world--a very special world that lasts four short years, yet plays an important part in our future. In this special world we were con- cerned with what to wear to Sweetheart, who would win t4e district tourneys, when would class rings arrive, how did we do on the biology test, what should our prom tfieme be, signing senior pictures, meeting a deadline ind finishing our assignments. . . It is this smalLspecial world of high school that we want to present to you by means of words and pictures. You have been apart of it--we want you to remember it as it was in 1966 and 1967.

Faculty Leads Our World Sharing their knowledge of the past and present, and helping us to prepare for the future are the goals which the faculty members aspire to. At times, the students do not fully understand the motives and reasons for their actions. And other times their inspiring methods make lasting impressions. These educators move among us, explaining, clarifying, and giving of what they know. At times they deem it necessary to apply disciplinary measures, such as giving detention for speaking out of turn, or running laps for building up the stamina and morale of athletes. Our faculty was also a great help in going along with students to support school activities and encourage team soirit.

Construction of the new football field and the building of a new addition to the school were the outstanding projects promoted by the local school board this past year. Review- ing blueprints and building plans took up long hours of re- searchJand discussions. Even rolling and laying sod on the football field were part of their activities. Devoted hours to make our school a place of greater educational opportunities and development also constituted a major part of this group's work. onthly and other special meetings were gularly held ch reUillai ineeLlffyTgVTewefl the nnancial reports and carried ouTother matters of immediate concern. One of the major and rather controversial issues discussed in- cluded the reorganization of school districts. Annual du- ties include the hiring of personnel for the school district, planning the budget, and levying taxes. ichool board members view the early stages of construction on the new addition.

CYNTHIA ANDERSON Seniors Take GATE Skill Tests The doors of AHS were opened to the class of '67 for the last time on August 29. The forty-one seniors were kept busy with English, American Government, Sociology, Economics, Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, Physics, Home Economics, Shorthand, Agriculture, German, and Art. The senior play, Onions in the Stew'' was given in Nov- ember, and in April, the seniors enjoyed Skip Day in Omaha. The concluding highlight of the year occurred May 6 when the juniors honored the seniors with a banquet and a dance. The class of 1967 walked through the halls of Alcester High for the last time on May 26, the day of their Com- mencement.

Juniors Receive Class Rings The 1966-67 schoolyear has been the busiest and most exciting since the juniors started high school. Each stu- dent was kept busy with the required courses of English III and American History as well as their electives. These included Typing, German, Sociology, Economics, Home Economics, Agriculture, Physics, Advanced Algebra, and Shorthand. Art was also offered for the first time this year. During the basketball season, the juniors and their class advisers, Mrs. Bar tune k and Mr .Schnabel, managed the concessions at each home game. In the spring, the class fund was put to use as the juniors presented a play and sponsored thfe Junior-Senior Banquet. Receiving their class rings was also a high-spot for the juniors this year.

In the fall of 1966, an all-time high of freshmen entered the world of AMS. These bewildered students found many new experiences as they began to catch the routine of high school life. These students soon found their classrooms, knew their teachers, and had made many new friends. But there w ere several things that would take a little more getting used to. There were so many people in the halls between classes that it was a struggle to get to your locker. There were things like the long lunch line, detention, quiz- zes and homework. Algebra, General Science, Home Economics, Agriculture, English, and GeneralMath were the subjects offered to the freshmen. The freshmen also realized that high school was not all work but that it offered many enjoyments through the various clubs and music groups. They also participated in athletics or supported the teams by their presence at the games and by their yelling.

New Faces Appear on Staff Beyond the classrooms and extra-curricular activities we find our school staff coping with the many everyday problems with which they are faced. Our cooks ask themselves, Will it be taverns or meat- balls. .The four busdrivers wonder, Are those roads too icy today? Mr. Donowan Larson, our school secre- tary asks, What goes on the announcements this morn- ing? And the janitor, in the miast of commotion, wonders if he should scrub the floor again. Often they are found working over weekends and holi days, too. These people behind the scenes are the ones who add those little 'extras to our routine schedule Long and often difficult hours are put in by the staff anu the students fully appreciate their services. Bus drivers Mr. G. Schumacher Jr., Mr. ]. Solbue, Mr. D. Larson, and Mrs. D. Merrick pose before going out on their afternoon routes. This page sponsored by: Anderson Garage.

Through words and pictures classroom and other school activities Members of Cubette staff campaign are relived by students who played a part and shared in the for higher sales. making of those many contrasting moments. There were times ofworry, tenseness, and cramming for tests. And then there were those moments of gaityand fun and having good times with classmates and friends. Devising a new technique for planning and putting to- gether a new and different annual was the task which the Cubette staff, under the supervision of Mr. Thomas, at- tempted to undertake. At the opening of the year, staff members attended a one day workshop in Sioux Falls and the yearly press conference at Brookings. There, fresh and original ideas on building a better school yearbook were accumulated. The junior staff learn to make well- balanced yearbook pages. This page sponsored by: O.G.

This fall several members of the staff, accompanied by Mr. Ptak, attended the annual press conference in Brook- ings. This gave the staff new and original ideas in writ- ing stories, typing stencils, and setting up their pages. The editors and typists teach underclassmen the tech- miques involved in planning and preparingthe monthly pub- lication of the Dakota. Long and often difficult hours are spent solving the different problems which occasionally arise. As well as being read by the students at Alcester, copies are sent to various business places of Alcester and other towns; other schools in this locality, and alumni away at college. 4 . 31 Before leaving school, D.

All the hard work and the many disappointments resulted in many excellent and some superior ratings.

Swanson, Marching, Concerts and Contests Fill Band Hours Around 12:45 on a typical school day one can see many of the 47 band members in the vicinity of the gym. Some are busy setting up their chairs and stands, some are climbing up the bleachers to get th ir horns, and a few girls may be talking to their boyfriends in the hall before classes start. Eventually by 12:50 everyone is pretty well organized and ready to play a warm-up exercise from the Treasury of Scales. The rest of the period may be spent practicing for Christmas and spring concerts or perfecting Folk Song Suite and Presidio for contest at Yankton. After 45 minutes of playing, the musicians start eyeing the clock, and finally the bell rings. Horns are snapped in their cases, and Mr. Olsen can be seen dragging his podium back to its storage place. During the year many nignts are spent at school by soloists and groups practicing for Contest or A11-State chorus. Some musicians played in tournament band, tried out for All-State band, or attended the instrumental clinic. In the early fall the band could be heard drilling for Dakota Days in Vemillion. Our minds are refreshed of the meaning of parade rest , countermarch , and ca- dence , while our feet long for the command dismissed . The A.H.S. band added a musical background to the sports season when they performed at football games. Wheels was the theme for the Homecoming half-time marching show. At the basketball games the band play- ed Sweet Georgia Brown as the Cubs warmed up, and other songs that pleased the sports fans. Students of music are awaiting the completion of the new band and practice rooms to be used in future years. 34 M. Peterson. C. Anderson, D. Fickbohm, L. Anderson, M. Johnson, G. Peterson, M.

Autumn leaves of vivid yellows and bright reds was the setting for the 1966 Homecoming Coronation on September 29th. The Girls Glee club softly sang Autumn Leaves as the members of the royal court advanced towards the decorated stage. A deep hush fell across the room as Steve Wilson announced the king and queen. A glow of happiness showed on the faces of Doug and Janet as Miriam Zweifel and Bernard Van Engen crowned the happy couple. Cheers were heard from the crowded auditorium when Doug placed the robe back on Janet’s shoulders after it had unexpectedly slipped off. While Janet and Doug sat on their throne under the bright fall-colored tree, each of the four classes presented some form of entertainment in their honor. At the pep rally the burning of the A , symbolic of the firing spirit of the Alcester High student body, brought the coronation activ- ities to an end. 40 D. Quinn races toward the goal. Students show enthusiasm at the bonfire. Vr Gu«tad and te rn' members express will-to-win. The bonfire after the program was blazing with ?pirir and liveliness. Students raised their voices in support o the Cubs. Tie boys on the team each added their comments on wHat they hoped would be o successful outcome. A tense and rousing atmosphere set the m od for Fridav night, despite the cold and damp weather. Although the Cubs put up a good stand, the Dell Rapids Quarriers proved to be too much and left with victory on their side. Although the feelings were lowered, everyone knew that the team had played with the best of their ability and with a show of good sportsmanship. The dance, featuring the 'Crapes of Wrath', also helped to cheer up the students , and enliven their dispositions. The Momecoming dance concludes festiv- ities. D. Quinn and J. Moberg Reign Friendliness, courtesy, and ambitiousness are three adjectives which describe our Homecoming King Douglas Quinn and Cueen Janet N'oberg. Their personalities and ability to get along with others resulted in many friends and the honor of being chosen as royalty. If one word were to be chosen to describe Doug, ’sports' would probably fit him best. Doug active- ly participates in football, basketball, track, and golf. Besides lettering in each of these sports. Douglas was named to All-Conference in football, golf champion, best defensive player in football, and Athlete of the Year. His school life was however, also centered around being on the Dakota and Cub- ette staffs, in A-Club, having parrs in the junior, the senior, and the one-act plays, and taking the responsibility of being a class officer during his freshman and junior years. Likewise, Janet also deserves recognition. A large part of Janet’s time was spent as an officer in FHA, being editor of the Dakota, taking leading parts in the class plays, and rendering her musical talents in girl's glee, chorus, and madrigal. She contributed to the spirit at games by being both a B” and A” team cheerleader. 'Jer other activ- ities--working on the Cubette staff and in Declam, and honors--serving as a class officer and on the Student Council, being alternate DAR representa- tive, I nion County American Legion Essay winner, pom-pom girl, sophomore Homecoming attendant, and prom waitress also provided Janet with a busy schedule. This is Janet and Doug--Alcester High School's 1966 Homecoming King and Queen. The King and Queen enjoy punch at the Homecoming Dance. At half-time, the crowd cheered our 1966 Royalty. Ni. Ludwig, ].

World of Sports is Diversified True sportsmanship comes only with teamwork and the personal initiative of each individual. Their degree of achievement depends on their degree of self-disci- pline and willingness to develop their athletic prowess. Success comes only with hard work, sacrifice, and a little bit of luck. Besides exercise, an athlete must realize the importance of proper rest and good nutrition, so that he can meet the challenges of tough competition. To challenge our athletes, Alcester High School has offered several different areas in the field of sports. Some of these included football, basketball, track, phy- sical education, golf, cross-country, and weight-lifting. As long as we offer competition, our sports-minded youth will continue to meet the demands that sports require. D. Quinn dodges one of the Augustana Knights. 65 MB” TEAM CHEERLEADERS: [.
