THE 1968 CUBETTE Alcester High School Alcester, South Dakota L Foreword August 25, 1967... registration day for the 186 students of A.H.S. This step marked the beginningofwhat seemed a long road towards the students’hopes and goals of the year. The completion of the new addition and the new football field, a very successful basketball season, and a good year for the music depart- ment were a few goals reached. For the forty - seven seniors, it was a long climb filled with many steps, the steps of success and recog- nition. But most important for the entire stu- dent body, it was a year of progress. So now, we, the staff, leave you to relive the many memories of the year through this annual.. .the 1968 Cubette. 2 Every Step ...

Doors of opportunity open to the student. Steps of Progress Progress is a word that can apply to many different areas. It means to move ahead and make improvements. Alcester High School has made progress in the field of education and opportunity for the students. The new addition has improved facilities for learning and made the students of Alcester High School quite proud to be a part of it. Although the addition is finished and in use, many steps were involved that started three years ago. A building survey was conducted in 1964 by the University of South Dakota and they made recommendations for the size, ac- cording to the needs that were evident. A bond election was held to vote on the sum of $97,000. Many students helped campaign for the passing of the bond. The bond was passed with a majority and then plans progressed from there. The construction began in the fall of 1966 and was completed for use of the 1967-68 school year. NEW MUSIC ROOM--A convenience enjoyed by the grades. 5 New Facilities Are Useful The cooks, Mrs. Numsen and Mrs. Harders work in the new convenient and spacious kitchen. The football players spent many hours practicing on the new field. The seventh grade uses its new classroom The addition included complete new kitchen facilities, a music room with an office and two practice rooms, a class room, and a science laboratory room with two offices. The students of Alcester have many oppor- tunities to be proud of. We have taken another step forward, a progressive step into the future.

It helps prepare the students of A. H. S. to be better citizens and leaders. In the community, the faculty works with the PTA on many projects. Some of the tea- chers helped prepare a display of the Home Economics and Agriculture students' projects for one of the PTA meetings. They also had to evaluate the school as a whole, and eval- uate their teaching programs for the North Central Accreditation Association. Acting as a guide on the path to education in all areas, the faculty paves the way with knowledge, adds discipline to keep students on the right path, helps with activities to make the trip enjoyable, and leaves them lasting impressions.

This page sponsored by: Shuck Brothers Implement 10 This years governing body consisted of a boy and a girl from each class. The student Council was led by President David Kraakmo and assisted by their advisor, Mr. Dobber- stein . A great many accomplishments were made throughout the year. These representatives constructed and displayed a suggestion box so that the student body could express their ideas and make changes in the schools poli- cies. Action was taken on several of the sugges- tions. One special improvement was the addi- tion of a flag to each room so that the pledge of allegiance would start the days activities. The Student Council also organized and pla- nned the Christmas party, the Homecoming and Sweetheart dances, and provided refresh- ments and entertainment after several home basketball games.

The Democratic Way August of 1967 found the schoolboard eval- uating the new addition. When it was finally completed, these gentlemen heaved a big sigh of relief. All of the long hours spent debating over the blueprints with the contractor were over. Some of the crowded facilities of AHS were now relieved because of the efforts of these men. Taking part in the dedication of the new ath- letic field was another honor for the school- board. They were aided in this project by the athletic booster-club . Results of special elections showed that in 1968-69, Alcester would experience a big in- crease in the number of grade school students. Several school districts decided to reorganize and join the Alcester Independent School Dis- trict. Therefore, anew and enlarged school- board was organized, and they also met reg- ularly to plan the needed changes for the next school year. Schoolboard members take care of final bus- iness matters for the 1967-68 school year. 11 Behind the Scenes Mr. Larson keeps the office running smoothly, balances income and expenditures, and helps the students. So many people are never recognized in organizations, businesses, entertainment and in education. Here at Alcester High, these people behind the scenes are necessary parts in the machine of education. Each has his specific duties but they function for one pur- pose, giving students the best education poss- ible . Getting the student to school on time, pro- viding them with pleasant surroundings, serv- ing them nutritious meals, and helping them with problems are just summaries of their many tasks. Each gives of himself for the advancement of many. Cleaning the rooms, the halls, and the grounds Transportation to and from are the duties of the cus- school is provided by the bus todians Mr. L.

Year Sees Larger Junior High A pleasant change for the Junior High from their daily classes of reading, writing, and arithmetic, was music. Accompanied by their teacher, Mrs. Brenneise, the 7th and 8th grade grades harmonized to their favorite songs. Duringthe year they gave reports and sang in the period of 1:40 to 2:10. The highlight of the year was the Christmas program in which the Junior High joined the grades in song.

Freshmen Face a New Challenge During first period the freshmen were in the gym for Physical Education class taught by Mr. Kroger. The girls had P.E. classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the boys went on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sleepy- eyed and yawning they first had calesthentics for about ten minutes. After that, they were a little more wide awake so they participated in a variety of different sports such as basket- ball, kickball, soccer, tennis, and softball, as well as tumbling. These activities made them wide awake before it was time to get ready to go to their next class. The things they learned and the exercise it provided, P.E. class was worth the extra ef- fort to the MfroshM.

The major part of the year was spent studyingthe textbook. The area enjoyed most was dissecting. With razor blades and pins in hand, each student tackled many dif- ferent types of specimens. The other projects completedduringthe year were leaf booklets, semester reports, and the Science Fair pro- jects . Before the year ended, every student inthe sophomore class realized what a chal- lenge the Science of Life is. Larry Frick, tres. Gordon Anderson, V.Pres. Mary E. Hendricks, Sec. Treas.

H.S. were divided into two English classes, one under the guidance of Mrs. E. Aaen, and one under Mrs. H. Lappe- gaard. They spent most of the first semester studying American Literature. Writing some themes, including the REA Cooperative theme, and studying the many parts of grammar, fil- led the second semester's schedule. The add- ed bright spots to the routine were the oral book reports given three times during the year. Learning about the many areas of English equaled the time the juniors put in studying. The first section of English III salutes the flag as the class period begins.

Jobs, Dates, Parties Fill Senior Social Life Forty-eight students graduated as the Class of 1968. With diploma in hand, each senior looked back on his last high school year with many feelings. The senior's year was filled with activities: editingthe Dakota and Cubette, presenting Death Takes a Holiday and one-act plays, supporting the music department, attending a memorable Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, breaking records in athletics, learning prep- aration for the future in FFA and FHA, going to parties after games, traveling to Omaha, for Skip Day, leading the school in spirit, and having lots of fun.

Help Strengthen One of the first purposes of FHA is to pro- mote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking. The Alcester chapter of Future Homemak- ers of America met the third Thursday of ev- ery month with Mrs. Ericson as chapter ad- visor. The program of work carried out by the local chapter was based on the goals and projects established by the state and nation- al organizations. The FHA members enjoyed a penny carniv - al, Daddy Date Night, the eighth-grade tea, the Mother-Daughter Banquet, the Fashion Revue for the PTA, and the FHA Convention in Huron, which were the highlights of the year D.

They believe in help- ing America by strengthening local levels, the community and school, to function as one. The Alcester Chapter of the FFA sponsored many programs stressing this phase of the organ- ization. ’Pheasants Unlimited ’and the Safety Checks were tow of these programs. The FFA also helped put on a program of the boys shop projects for the PTA. .For some, FFA was to be remembered at special times like,the Father-Son Banquet, the State Convention at Brookings, and the Nation- al Convention in.Kansas City which Gary Scott, Dan Nelson, and David Anderson attended.

Charlotte Stoen al- so attended Journalism school and learned tips on layouts and copy. Other members of the staff attended a workshop in Brookings as well as a one’-day workshop in Sioux Falls where they learned a lot and gained many useful ideas. Editor Mary shows exhaustion after long hours of working on the annual. Staff members, under the supervision of Mr. Thomas, worked hard throughout the year planning the layouts, writing copy, typing, gettingpictures, and pasting . Their job was to make the 1968 Cubette a memorable story of what went on at A .H.S. over the year. Inez smiles as she complete typing another story. L. toR. ROW ONE: D. Johnson, M. Hendricks, P.

Dakota Catches News Scene Will we ever get the paper out by Friday'? and How can this story fit in such little space? are two of the favorite lines quoted by Barbara Wahl andJoAnn Thormodsgaard, co-editors of the Dakota. Each month the school paper was edited to give the businesses, alumni, and the students a summary of what went on and what is scheduled during the month. The other feature editors, typists and re- porters aided in the production. Mr. Ptaksuper- vised and provided helpful points throughout the year. At times the deadline was not made and the stories had to be cut, and this made the Dakota staff strive for improvement. Art editor Debbie Johnson cuts another sten- cil for the Dakota. L. to R.

After a saddening football season, it took a few games for the 72 members of the Pep Club to regain the spirit deserved by the bas- ketball team . Once the spirit came back, the girls proudly cheered the Cubs to one of their greatest seasons in recent years. The officers, Karen Sommervbld, presi- dent; Mary Ellen Hendricks, vice president; Laurie Ludwig, secretary; and Darlene John- son, treasurer; alongwlth their advisor, Mr. Olsen, presided at the meetings. The Pep Club achieved many goals such as earning money to buy bleachers for the foot- ball field, operatingcoat check at home bas- ketball games, and cheering loudly. L.toR. ROW ONE: A. Danielson, P.

Boasts Boy Cheerleader Supporting the football ana basketball team by leading the students in cheers at games, and planning pep rallies to ere - ate school spirit and enthus- iasm were the main respon- sibilities of the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders spent a lot of long hours practicing and planning t rallies. They also held extra pep club meet- ings to help the pep club mem- bers learn their cheers to sup- port the team. The excitement of cheering at games and supporting the team and school in victory or defeat was their reward and made all their long hours of practice worth while. B-Team cheerleaders: L. to R. C.

The students use it to explore other areas, transport them into make-believe, find answers to problems, and just enjoy the valuable information found in the library. The periodicals were regular - ly used by the students to check on current information and world news. The library was increased in size this year and a special study table was added. Many new books were also added. In order to keep the books in good condition and in correct or- der, Mrs. Aaen and eleven students worked as librarians. SEATED: Advisor, Mrs. Aaen. L. to R.

Larger Chorus Makes More Music I need a little more tenor”, was on of the lines quoted by Mr. Olsen as the 75-voice chorus prepared for its performances. At the beginning of the year, the chorus was hard at work preparing for the winter concert. March 30th, at the regional contest, the chorus received a II rating. After contest workwas started and songs improved for the spring concert in May. The climatic ending of this concert was a band-chorus presenta- tion of Man and His World , the theme-song of the New York World's Fair. The chorus was well received, and felt rewarded for the many hours of work during the year.

Reigning Under the Rainbow A brightly colored rainbow after a fresh rain was the setting for the 1967 Homecoming Coronation on September 21. The double quar - tet set the mood by singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow , as the royalty proceeded to the stage. As the crowd waited, Debbie Johnson and James St. Pierre took from the pots of gold at the end of the rainbow, the names of our homecoming king and nueen. Tom Nilson, master of ceremonies, revealed to the aud- ience that KarenSommervoldand Rick Riherd were our queen and king. After Karen and Rick were crowned and robed, each of the four classes presented entertainment in their honor.

A walk through the park displayed a bubbling fountain, a lover's swing, dainty butterflies, and beau- tiful flowers. The delicious dinner served and the enjoyable program introduced by La- Zanne Wetrosky, Mistress of Ceremonies, made it a night to remember. As guest speak- er, Mr. Gustad put aside all fantasies with a serious note of advice. To follow tradition a prom, a movie, and early morning breakfast was held by the Junior parents. Steve Groon and Debbie Belkey smile as they take advantage of the inviting swing. 50 Some juniors and seniors keep the conversation in- teresting before the meal is served. A garden scene with a wat- er fountain is admired by Judy Larson, Debbiejervik, Nancy Huitgren, and Eunice Peterson, L. to R. Memories are kept by pic- tures, and these girls in- sure themselves memories of the beautiful prom , 51 Hildegaard finally leaves with Freddy to the Junior-Senior Prom. “We Shook the Family Tree” I got 'em, I got 'em! This page sponsored by: Farmers State Bank The junior class of 1969 took another step as upperclassmen when they presented their play, WeShookthe FamilyTree . The play directed by Mrs. Aaen was put on November 16th and 17th. The story showed Hildegarde, tired of be- ing a wallflower, trying desperately to attract a boy as her date for the senior prom. To attract attention, she won the school debate with an ardent, dramatic plea against drink- ing, but only succeeded in convincing every- one that her father was an alcoholic. Hilde- garde's mother interfered and got an unde- sirable date for her daughter with a boy who wore short pants. Her date finally won app- roval by taking drastic action to get long pants. Twelve students were in the cast, and other members of the class helped in the product- ion of the play. This will be one more of the class's memories of their Junior years at A.H.S. 52 Boys Have Leading Roles in Senior Play Grant acts as Barb's lover. A dramatical mystery, 'Death Takes a Hol- iday” was presented by thirteen seniors un- der the direction of Mrs. Lappegaard, April 5th and 6th. Death, while at the Duke's home, becomes human to experience some of their emotions. During his three day stay, he falls in love with three women. Two of them automatically turn their love to fear, as the other guests do, when they find out he is really death. Gracia, the third love, only loves him more because she has known he was death. Because of her love, she decides to leave with him. The cast included Grant Doty, Barb Wahl, Martin Buum, Paulette Johnson, Gloria Peter- son, Inez Siemers, Dennis Turner, Mary Hendricks, James St. Pierre, Vance Keiser, Mike Pederson, Sherry Hagen, and Delmer Fickbohm. Many other seniors helped with direction, stage property, publicity, and make-up, in order to make the play a better presentation. For their athletic ability in football, Rick Ri- herd and Dave Kraakmo receive the Bob John- son Award. Inez Siemers, who contributed much to music during high school, is presented the Hammitt Music Plaque. Honors Given to Deserving Students Dan Nelson, President of FFA, receives the Delmer Scott Memorial. The Dekalb Agricultural Award presented to a senior FFA member, is given to Gary Scott. 54 mm Alcesterwas well represented this year at Girls and Boys State by L. to R .

Debbie Tohnson, Betty Crocker Homemaker of the Year, shows her kitchen skills. Because of her abilities and qualities, Mar- garet Eidsness is presented the Minnie Lar- son Award. A-Club Completes Projects The big yellow A” this year found on our lettermen’s jackets probably represented the athletic, ambitious, and admirable qualities found in our boys. This year, instead of start- ing new projects, the A-Club decided to fin- ish the other projects, such as the new foot- ball field, the glass backboards, and getting extra equipment. To earn a letter one must have excelled in one sport for that season and have fulfilled the requirements of the sport. Letters are given in every sport and a manager also receives a gold letter. The new members of A-Club this year are: Martin Buum, Dave Harmon, Alan Trudeau, Dave Anderson, Don Jervik, Dave Carlson, Kerwin Lykken, Murray Mollet, Dean Witt, Calvin Reppe, Dave Peterson, and Steve Nel- son. In order to receive a blue letter, one must letter in one sport for 4 years, be captain of the team, or be elected to an All-Conference team. All members In the A-Club work hard tc receive a letter which they proudly wear. L. to R. ROW ONE: Mr. Gustad, L. Numsen, D. Peterson, C. Reppe, D. Carlson, D. Jervik, S. Nelson, M. Buum, T.

The Alcester Cubs' offense was better than the years before and they moved the ball in the air more often. The Beresford, Parker, and Brandon Valley games proved to be the most impressive ones throughout the season. The on-side kick pro- ved to be one of the Cubs' most successful weapons. Rick Riherd made Ace of the Week for mak ing three touchdowns and sixteen tackles in the Beresford game. Rick Riherd and Dave Kraakmo made All Conference, and James St. Pierre and Martin Buum made honorable mention. Outstanding defensive players for the year were Dave Kraakrpo Rick Riherd. James St. Pierre, and Lee Briggle. The new athletic field encouraged spirit in the fans, made the players work a little harder for victory, and brought a special pride to the community. Next year the coach will be depending on some promising freshmen. These boys and other underclassmen will help give the Cubs hope for a victory next year. James St. Pierre struggles to stop the runner. Coaches Gustad and Kroger give Mike Pederson a few words of encouragement.

Beating Beresford in four overtimes was a great lift for the Cubs this year. The Cubs had an 11 and 1 record until they lost 6 games when the highly rated Parker Pheasants de- feated the Cubs. The Cubs had one of their best seasons and compiled a record of 16 wins and 6 losses. This record was brought about by a shooting percentage of 43% from the field and 67% from the free-throw line. With a lot of hard work and determination, the Cubs took Consolation in District Twenty Tournaments, and were also rated in the Class B” Poll throughout the season. This years honors were: All Conference to James St. Pierre, Martin Buum, and Rick Ri- herd. Free throw champion was James St. Pierre, and Martin Buum was voted leading rebounder. James St. Pierre also received Ace of the Week. Next year Mr. Kroger will be rebuilding with three returning juniors.

Seniors Face a New Challenge — A Step to Reality Graduation, a time of reflection, foresight, gifts, memories, tears, relief, and pride. This time is memorable to all forty-seven seniors, for now they step into a world that is far from perfect. Their job is to try and undo the problems formed before them and accept and work to solve the problems heading their way in the future. The majority of these problems be- ing war, poverty, racism, education, society, crime, and a feeling of unrest. To help them in their struggle, memories of high school will come to mind and ideas formed there will be remembered. But the world with its ugly side still revolves and people soon face re- ality. Will their education have prepared them to meet the challenge? Will they be successful? Barbara Wahl, Valedictorian, speaks on the motto of the senior class. This page sponsored by: Larsen Drugstore Salutatorian Inez Siemers gives her address on opportunities. Adding humor, yet bringing out a strong point about security, Mr. D. Futrell of Nettleton Business College, speaks to the graduating seniors. 68 To Live - an Opportunity To Succeed - a Challenge SIXTH GRADE L. to R. ROW ONE: C. Ericson, D. Tucker, C. Baker, P.
