THE 1969 CUBETTE Alcester High School Alcester, South Dakota 1 Foreword Reflections re-tell the story of the year 1968-1969 at Alcester High School. These im- ages reflect upon familiar faces, studying, honors, excitement, participation in activities, and unforgettable, memorable days during that special year. As the years at AHS are re- told we begin to see ourselves and our future developing. We must keep working and going on to an adult world, but go back when you want and relive these wonder- ful years as they have been pre- served through words and pic- tures. This year and the past has prepared you and greatly re- flected upon you and your future, and we want these reflections to be remembered exactly as they were.

DoubersL.ein Principal Agriculture Faculty Loses The faculty reflects their knowledge of the past and pres- ent, and helps us set our goals for the future. At times it is very difficult for us, as stu- dents, to see and understand what the faculty is preparing us for. Sometimes it is very hard for students to imagine why detention and other desciplinary measures are needed at school, but in later years it forms a lasting impression on us. We see that this prepared us to be better ;rr. Zlfie Aaen n-lieh I and III '!r. Daul Sore nse:. Government History EoonoT1i''j--Socio2o -' hr. IfeTvin Ft3k Bookkeeping '-oinrr I Genr a Eor'lnes?

Through this, they hope to help encourage better student-teacher understandings. Through PTA, the parents establish a knowledge of the faculty and the student-body. In all these ways, the thir- teen members of our faculty are helping as we take our first giant step into this competitive world. Ir. Richard ?. Kirrr'- Gursrintendent 7 Reorganization of the new school district was one of the major concerns of our local schoolboard this past year. Because of the reorganization, the schoolboard expanded from seven to twelve members. Plan- ning how to accomodate all of the new students and installing new facilities took up much of their time. Many hours of hard work has been given by this group of people to make our school a better place to gain knowledge of the world today. Monthly meetings were held and several special sessions were called. The schoolboard also approved the buying of sev- eral new buses to aid in trans- porting students to and from school. Annual duties of the schoolboard include hiring the personnel for the school dis- trict, planning the budget, and levying the taxes. Schoolboard Settles the Matter of Reorganization L. to 2.

This was a different type of class representation over the previous years. The governing body was led by President David Anderson and was assisted by their advisor, Mr. Dobberstein. The other off- icers included: Steve Merrick, Vice President, and LaZanne We- trosky, Secretary-treasurer. The student council discus- sed suggestions made by the stu- dents through the suggestion box and action was taken on some of these suggestions. One of the important suggestions that they acted upon was to begin a German Club for the interested German students. The group planned and organ ized the Homecoming and Sweet- heart coronation and dances, and provided for entertainment after several home basketball games. They carried out the usual ac- tivities including the annual blanket toss for the March of Dimes, and planned and helped with the school picnic. 9 Behind the Scenes Fo many people arc never rec- ognized in organizations, businss- Gcs, entertainment and in educa- tion Here at Alcester TM rrl these oeoolc behind the scenes are necessary marts in the machine cf education, bach has his specific duties, tut they function for one purpose, giving the students the best education possible. lotting the student to school on time, rrovidinr them mith plea- sant surroundings, serving them .- -1 V 1 4- ' , r f « sur maries gives nutritious r■ ea1s, prof lemr are of their of hinsclf many. many or tne ad he Ipi just su 1 - o • rac adva nee ‘ve?7horr,i Jach TW m rd T “v rtrw “� “TP -----.

During the last year, the se- niors commented frequently on how fast their years at AHS went by. You would hear them talking about some of their experiences as un- derclassmen and the excitment high school brought. The senior year for the class of 1969 was probably even more special to them. As the graduates look back on their senior year, reflections of skip day, the class piay, ath- letics, prom, participation in music activities, Dakota, Cub- ette, and other activities and organizations along with honors have a special meaning to them. Among the subjects taken their senior year were: government, ag- riculture, sociology-economics, bookkeeping, shorthand, English, and physics. The ACT tests were an important event during the year for the college-bound stu- dents . As the year drew to a close much too quickly, the seniors held their last class meeting where they chose navy blue and ivory as their colors, and asor- ted daisies as their flower. Valueing their education, activ- ities, and honors which the se- niors knew have prepared them for the future is representative of their class motto: With the Light of Today, We'll Explore the Paths of Tomorrow.

They found, however, studying made up the most important part of their cur- riculum. Besides English and American History, their elective courses were German, Agriculture, Geometry, Chemistry, typing, shorthand, sociology, and econom- ics. The Juniors sold magazines and served concessions at basketball games to help raise the money needed to finance the banquet and prom. The Juniors still found time to participate in extra curricu- lar activities and are now confi- dent as they go on to the last step in education at A.H.S.

They found this year to be another step toward a broader education through their studies of English, Home Economics, Ag- riculture, Biology, Geometry, and Typing. The sophomores not only pre- pared themselves mentally but physically in their P.E. classes. The girls participated in physi- cal exercises and sports on Mon- day, Wednesday, and Friday; and the boys on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Some of the P.E. students did some tumbling for entertainment at one of the home basketball games. Now the sophomores have met the challenge of this new life as underclassmen and are on their way to filling the part as upper- classmen.

These stu- dents be.wildered at first, found their classrooms, teachers, and made new acquaintances, and eventually became familiar with high school. They were sur- prised st the long lunch lines, detentions, and those quizes which they weren't quite pre- pared for. Algebra, English , General Science, Home Economics, Agri- culture, Typing Math, and Phys- ical Education were the classes they took. The students added support to the Athletic department, and the ones that didn't participate had physical education to contend with. This year PE class of fered a dancing class to keep fit. The girls had PE Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in period two. The Boys on Tuesday, two. The boys had it on Tuesday Wednesday, and Friday in period one.

Organizations F.H.A.-F.F.A.--Learning Today To emphasize the importance of worthy home membership was a part of the creed that the seventy-six FHA'ers repeated at the monthly meetings. Worthy home membership was discussed at sev- eral meetings, and skits were pre- sented about particular family re- lation problems. Our advisor, Mrs. Ivan Eric- son with eight chapter mothers helped the girls and guided them through their future homemakers activities. Several of the members atten- ded the state meeting in Huron. Fourteen FHA'ers also attended the regional meeting in Scotland, while Carla Sundstrom was the can- didate for a state office. The events of Daddy-Date night, the Mother-Daughter Ban- quet, swap night, 8th grade tea, and meetings were enjoyed by all members. 30 L. to P. iOV OKS: ,T .

Peg Witt attended Jour- nalism School for one week in the summer at Brookings to pre- pare herself as editor of the 1969 annual. Other members of the staff attended a work shop in Brookings and in Sioux Falls where they learned new tech- niques and gained helpful ideas. Planning the dummy book, getting pictures, cropping pic- tures, writing copy, typing, and pasting filled many hours of hard work by the staff. The purpose of these long hours was to make a memorable reference book of a year to remember. Typist, Debbie Belkey, puts finishing touches on story. 32 Dakota Staff Keeps Students Informed The student news was reflec- ted each month through the school paper published entirely by the staff members. The paper was edited to give businesses, alum- ni, and the students a summary of what happened during the month: a schedule for the month, sports results, stories about special e- vents and occassions, interesting editorials, and a story about a few seniors each month. The staff worked hard making assignments, getting each story in on time, fitting stories on pages, typing stencils, running off pages on the mimeograph, sta- pling, and passing out the fin- ished paper to the students. With the staff advisor, Mr. Melvin Ptak, several staff mem- bers attended a press conference in Brookings in the fall. There they learned new and interesting ways to help them put out a good school paper. Production iditor, Darla Solbue, runs off copies of the monthly Dakota. L. to R.

There are eleven librarians this year helping the students check books and periodicals. The study area toward the rear of the library was well used throughout the year. Making a bright spot was tne bulletin board. The librarians took turns making colorful, and sometimes amusing, educational scenes. The arrival of 120 new books this year kept the librarians busy. They worked very hard in preparing them for the students. 3 Four winners of Local Contest: La- Zanne Wetrosky, Julie Newman, Jolene Wetrosky, Joyce Fickbohm. This year twenty-six stu- dents took part in declam under the direction of Mrs. Aaen and Mrs. Lappegard. Because of the large number of participants, an elimination contest was held on October 15. Three students were chosen from each division to par- ticipate in our local contest. The local contest was held on October 22. Those chosen to rep- resent Alcester in the district contest, October 29, were: Julie Newman, poetry; Joyce Fickbohm, humorus; Jolene Wetrosky, dram- atic; and LaZanne Wetrosky, ora- tory. These contestants all did well at the district contest. From the district contest, LaZanne Wetrosky went as a repre- sentative to the Regional contest in Sioux Falls.

The band did march at the USD Dakota Day Parade in Vermillion, and made a trip to the airport in Siouz Palls, where they performed for those who came to greet Pres. Nixon. They also provided a spe- cial halftime performance at the Homecoming football game, and pep music at all the home football and basketball games. Due to bad weather the winter concert was canceled, but every- one made up for it by putting more enthusiasm into a successful spring concert, which consisted of the various styles and moods of music. In March, the band competed in the regional music contest at Yankton. The surperior rating for the third consecutive year reflected a great joy and pride and proved that the long hours of practice and hard work had paid off. The band was also proud to send Shari Wahl to All-State band at Sturges. So. Dak. This was Alcester's second Allstater In 12 years. BRASS SECTION: L.to R.

Year Sees Larger Chorus Music Acconfoanists: Peg Sidsness, Carol westin, Debbie Belkey. Eighty mixed voices and 46 girls made up the large vocal groups of A.H.S. this year. Each group enjoyed their practice ses- sions twice a week, where they sang various types of music. The first part of the year went to the practicing of Christ- mas music for the winter concert; however, due to bad weather the concert had to be canceled. The next activity to perform for was the regional music contest in Yankton. The girls glee received a II, and the chorus a III. The chorus and glee finally got a chance to perform and en- tertain for parents and friends at the spring concert. The group sang their contest numbers and other songs. L to ?.• POW CNF: 'r.

Year Sees Beginning of New German Club The German Club was a new organization at A.H.S. this year. A suggestion was made to the stu- dent council to begin such a club, and the student council ex- ecutives went ahead to organize this activity for interested Ger- man students. Those who could join were those who had taken German I or II. The purpose of the club was to learn more about the country of Germany, the people, and their customs and language through re- search, movies, stories, and re- ports. The members had a lot of fun and Interesting meetings. The club was not really ac- tive this year because of its late beginning in the year, but it is hoped an interest by the German students will keep it alive and more active. The executives for the new German Club were: LaZanne Wetrosky, President; Maria Tru- deau, Vice-President; and Susan Hebert, Secretary-Treasurer. The club was advised by Mr. Delmer Schnabel. 42 Grown Bearers: Danny Bunin Charlotte Leafstedt Paul Euum Freshman Ramona Jurgensen Sophomore Attendants: Mark Keiser Attendants: ’69 Homecoming Is a Dream Student Body President, David Ander son, crowns Queen Jane...... i reshmen present their Hill-billy band.

Cubs Lose Games, But Gain Experience Once again, the Alcester Cubs proved unsuccessful in win- ning a game but gained valuable experience for the oncoming years. With mostly underclassmen on the team, the Cubs moved the ball well on the ground but were stopped in the air. Jim Gunnare and Don Jervik led the offense while Lee Brig- gle and Dave Anderson led the defense. Lee Briggle and Jim Gunnare made All-Conference, and Dave Anderson and Dave Peterson got an Honorable Mention. The freshmen came through with some big hopes for the fu- ture years. They ended their season with a 3-1 record and a big win over the Vermillion frosh with help from the sopho- mores . Next season, the coaches are looking forward to a good season with the help of some promising underclassmen.

Some highlights fi r the team were when several members almost qualified for state when they placed in the regional track meet in their individual catagor- ies. They were: Don Jervik in the 440 and half mile, and Jim Trudeau in the 2 mile. The best point getters this year for the team was the 2 mile relay squad, who received medals for winning their relay at the Conference track meet in Lennox. The track teams year came to a close with the Alcester Invita- tional in which they placed 4th out of 9 schools.

The new cheerleaders were all from the calss of '69. The girls spent many hours dur- ing the summer and school year learning new cheers, planning pep meetings, and working on in- teresting ways to get the stu- dents to show school spirit. The A-team bought their own new uniforms for the basketball season, and passed the old ones down to the B-team cheerleaders, Shari Wahl, Sydelle Numsen, Jo- lene Wetrosky, and Julie Carl- son. All eight cheerleaders worked together making victory signs on the days of the game, and practicing the school song and some of the cheers. Kathy Edson and LaZanne We- trosky joined the National Cheer leaders Association and recieved their paper the Megaphone during the year. Prom this magazine the girls received many ideas on how to promote school spirit. 68 A-t'm cheerleaders stand quietly c t’vv salute thf fin- before tho gam begins .• P-f. ’A:I SH3SatEA3D standing: Phari h’ahl Julia Carlson 3 ielle Kumsen Jolene U trosk 69 To be an A-Club member one must have excelled in at least one sport and have received a geld letter. The well-earned letter worn by cur lettermen rep- resents the athletics, ambition, and admirable qualities. The A also symbolizes the athlete’s pride in his school and the sport he excelled in. An athlete lettering four times in any one sport or having the honor of being chosen All- Conference earns a blue letter. The A-Club was led this year by Fresident Lee Briggle and Vice President Dave Anderson.

We're gon na win, gonna win, gonna win. Go, Fight Win! After a saddening football season, it did take the Pep Club time to get back the support our basketball team needed; but after talks given to us, we realized we had to show more spirit for our team. They didn't give up so we couldn't eitner. The Pep Club was very suc- cessful in raising money during the annual magazine drive. A to- tal of $423.55 was raised, and a contribution was made to the junior high for new football equipment. The coat check at every home basketball game, sponsered by the Pep Club, not only provided them with funds, but was a service to the community. 71 As Judy and Paul walk out this door for the last time, all the memories of the '68-'69 school year £;o with them. We, the Cubette Staff, hope we have captur- ed these reflections so that you may look back in this book and see yourself and Incidents as they hap- pened then. 72 Senior Directory DAVID ANDERSON: FFA-1-3; Class Play-3-4; A-Club-3-4; Band-1-4; Brass Sextet-2-3; Football-1-4; Basketball-1-2; Track-2-3; Class President-3; Student Body-2, President-4; All-Conference Hon- orable Mention-4; Boys State-3; Prom Waiter.
