THE 1970 CUBETTE Alcester High School Alcester South Dakota Table of Contents Administration 3 Classes 9 Sports 25 Organizations 39 School Life 55 Foreword We think of our days of hard study and participation in act- ivities, such as Homecoming, Class plays. Sweetheart, and the school picnic. The other days passed by with games and dances, and hoarse voices from cheering and singing. Many days were shared with others through exam- inations and tests, deadlines and semester grades. There were brief moments of glory in sports and music; and sad moments of trial and error. Classmates, friends, and faculty have played an important part in those days. The days were fun-filled, exc- iting and highly educational. A.H.S. will always be remembered by all who have known it. We, the Cubette Staff, have attempted to preserve the mem- ories of those days of 1969-70 through words and pictures. You, the students of Alcester High School made those days; you lived them. So now, we present to you those days that were . . .

They move among us, explaining, clarifing, and giving of what they know. Beyond the class- rooms and co-curricu- lar activities we find our school staff cop- ing with the many ev- eryday problems with which they are faced. Joining the faculty this year were Mr. Johnson, English; Mr. Bultsma, agriculture and shop; Mr. Swenson, instrumental; Mr. Mey- erink, vocal; and Mr. Person, principal, bookeeping and typing. Through their help with co-curricular ac- tivities, the teachers hope to establish bet- ter student-teacher understanding. They try to prepare stu- dents for the future. The faculty has the vital role of fulfill- ing the goal of a high school, providing ed- ucation.

They discussed many subjects and ideas for scho- ol-participation projects. Some of their duties were as follows: to provide unity and co-o-peration of the pupils and faculty in all extra classroom activities of the school; to de- velop the spirit ideals, and pr- actice of good citizenship in the school; to promote the general welfare of Alcester High School, its name, its reputation, and its possibilities for the achievement of its purposes; and to prove a satisfactory means of carrying on relationships with the other sch- ools and businesses of the stud- ent organization. Student Council members were chosen from each class at the be- ginning of the year. These stu- dents were faced with the respon- sibility of representing their class when making decisions. 6 Council member Carla Buum accompanies at school activies. L. to R.: Jay Clark, Charles Hall.

The 1969-70 school board was given the responsibility of being the first elected board for the newly reorganized school dis- trict. Members of the school board spent long hours at the monthly meetings working out pro- blems facing our school. Along with the administration, the board is instrumental in the hiring of teachers, the organiz- ing of school curriculum, and the formulating of school policy. Three improvements discussed, approved, and acted upon by the board were the installation of a new intercom system, modern wind- ows and the replacement of the electrical wiring throughout the school. The board discussed the expan- sion and improvement of the lib- rary and the introduction of mo- dular scheduling as future im- provements . Through their efforts and ded- ication, the school board helps to make our school a better place for education. Mr. Larson and Mrs. Lingert do the office work. Cooks L. to R.s Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. McCall, Mrs. Harders, Mrs. Ericson. Staff Puts in Many Long Hours There are other faces in AHS besides the students and the teachers. Completing his second year at Alcester was the custodian Mr. Leslie Limoges. His tasks were varied, time-con- suming, and exhausting but he always found time for a smile. The ability to do hard work, and put in long hours for plan- ning the meals are only a few characteristics of our lunch room cooks. Many people appreciated the extra work put into special occasions. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow could stop our bus drivers. Their main responsibil- ity was getting the students to school safe and on time.

But it may be the insignificant things, such as a kind word or a helping hand, that will have made the greatest im- pression on them. They have given our school many outstanding leaders, scholars, royalty, and athletes, plus a variety of per- sonalities and faces. With two required subjects, English IV and American govern- ment, plus various electives and co-curricular activities, the seniors were thoroughly preoccu- pied. Special events included government day in Elk Point, Earth Day in Vermillion, skip day in Omaha, and a prom present- ed by the junior class. An unforgettable memory will be The Legend of Handsome Herb- ie presented by members of the senior class. It was given in a series of skits created by Julie Newman. Starring Gordy Anderson as the dynamic hero with Charles Ellingsen as his much betroubled love, Priscilla. It resulted In much enjoyment for all. Caught in a world of conflict- ing emotions and ideas, the sen- iors face a new challenge with anxiety and hope, sadness and happiness. Only the Individual student can judge the value of four years of high school in pre- paration for entering this world. i 11 Larry Frick David Hebert Mary Hendricks LaNice Hansen Susan Hebert Robert Huenink Monroe Harders Larry Heiman Danny John 12 Douglas Johnson Gary Johnson Mary Johnson Sylvia Kraakmo Jana Ludwig Murray Moliet Julie Newnan Michael Limoges Lawernce Lundberg Charles Newberg Michael Peterson D.

Now being offical upperclass- men, the juniors continued their education and increased their participation and responsibility in the school. Their primary aim during the year was to raise money for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Funds were accumulated by diligent work in concession stands and persua- sive talk in selling magazines. New experiences of the year included transforming the audi- torium into a Garden of Eden for prom, and presenting The Magic Touch for the class play. To assure others they were truly juniors, they proudly wore their new class rings. Karla Sommervold, Pres. Clark Wilson, V. Pres. Allan Saugstad, Sec. Gary McKellips, Treas.

Required courses for the soph- mores were English II and phys- ical education. Biology, geom- etry, typing, world history, home economics, and agriculture were offered as their elective cour- ses . The activities most associated with being a sophmore are being responsible for gathering the materials for the bonfire at homecoming and disecting in biol- ogy class. Having completed two years of high school the sophmores are no longer novices, but not yet mast- ers . Sophmores enjoy typing class. Not pictured: Dana Wilson, V. Pres. Becky Wetrosky, Pres.

They quickly adjusted to having seven hours of their daily life reg- ulated by the ringing of bells and apprehensively made their way through the crowded halls to get to their next class on time. In October the freshman took the Lorge-Thorndike Intelleeence Test and the Iowa Tests of Ed- ucational Development. In March they took the Kuder General In- terest Survey. The freshmen's daily routine included two required courses, English I and physical science, and, a choice from the following electives to complete their schedules: Home Economics I, Agriculture I, World history. Algebra I and math. They were quickly absorbed into the system of higher learning as they also found time to participate in many of the co-curricular activities offered. 21 8th L. to R. B.R.: S.

The Cubs were paced by Calvin Reppe and Mike Peterson, who were named to the Big 8 All-Conference Team. The Cubs showed a marked im- provement over last year. Three games were lost by a margin of six points or less. These games were against Parker, Elk Point, and Centerville. Prospects for next year look promising, with a number of re- turning lettermen including Jeff Sogn, Dave Peterson, and Dave Limoges; who were named to the Honorable Mention All-Conference Team.

They came through the year with a record of six wins and eleven losses. The year was also devoted to improv- ing their skills, that they might gain an honored position on the varsity in future years. The team was coached by Mr. Lanny Gustad. The twenty-nine participants worked hard to get in shape for the season. Kim Eilers (31) jumps for a shot as team members watch on.

The Cubs basketball team had a winning season in 1969-70. The highlight of the season was when Alcester captured third place in the first annual Big 8 conference tournament during Christmas vacation. However, the. Cubs didn't fare quite so well in regular season conference games, winning one and losing six to other Big 8 teams. Gary Kruse, sophomore forward, had the honor of twice being named to the Sioux Falls Argus Leader's, Ace of the Week list. He received the awards for out- standing play against Augustana Acadamy and Centerville. To end the season, the Cubs received third place in District 22 Tournament play after losing to Hurley. The A Team included] seven seniors, four juniors, and one sophomore. Although the majority of the team will be lost to grad- uation, prospects for a winning year in 1970-71 look excellent with Gary Kruse, Don Jervick, and Gary McKellips as returning let- termen. 31 Larry Frick, Clark Wilson, Bruce Dan- ielson, Gary McKellips, Murray Mol let. ---. . —. .

Alcester Holds Second Annual Invitational The 1970 track season proved to be successful for the Cubs. It was a year of learning artd developing with only five upper- classmen on the squad. Don Jervick represented Al- cester at the State Track Meet in the 440 yard run. Three other track men places at the Re gional Track Meet, they were: Gary Kruse in discus, Steve Sig- man in the mile run, and Kevin Johnson in the two mile run. Two school records were es- tablished during the season. Don Jervick ran the 440 yard run in 52.4 and Gary Kruse hurdled the discus to 140'4 and the shot to 43 9 One of the highlights of the year was the Alcester Invitat- ional in which Alcester placed 5 th out of the eleven schools participating. The Cubs look foreward to a promising season next year. Freshman Relay: Joe Hendricks, Steve Sigman, Todd Hughes, Lloyd Roduner.

To earn a letter, one must place in a meet according to the number of runners participating. Jim fin- ished 12th in the Big-8 meet at Lennox. Steve finished fourth in the junior varsity division of the Vermillion invitational and 43rd in the state track meet in Brookings. Each boy must run two and one half miles at each meet they at- tend. Our runners participated in the Vermillion and Lennox In- vitationals, the state meet at Brookings, and the Big-8 meet at Lennox. Eleven athletes participated in cross-country this year. They were: Steve Sigman, David Sig- man, Wallace Beeler, Jim Trudeau, Dan Danielson, Richard Roduner, Gary McKellips, Marlin Day, Gary Johnson, Charles Newberg and Gay- lan Baker.

Upon acceptance into the club by the other mem- bers, the athlete must continue to live by the standards set up by the club. Several projects were begun by the A-Club this year. Among these was a plan to revise the club's constitution. Also, let- ters were sent to other schools in the area to compare lettering procedures and to possibly im- prove present lettering proced- ures at A.H.S. Work was done on up-dating the track records and preparing them for public dis- play. Officers of the A-Club for 1969-70 were: president-Calvin Reppe; vice-president-Dave Peterson; and secretary-treas- urer-Murray Mollet.

They sold booster buttons, and at every home game, sponsored the coat check. At games and pep rallies, pep club members put all their energy into cheering the team on to victory. The officers were: Marji And- erson, President; Betsy Ann Lyk- ken. Vice President; Jean Hult- gren. Secretary; and Karla Som- mervold, teasurer. Mr. Meyer- ink acted as Pep Club advisor. A great amount of individual effort went into the many activ- ities of the Pep Club. Their enthusiasm spread throughout the school, promoting much school spirit.

No matter what the condit- ions or individual feeling, the cheerleader must put on a happy face and inspire fans to cheer the team to victory. In the spring of 1969 the student body elected the follow- ing A-team cheerleaders; Shari Wahl, Julie Carlson, Sydelle Numsen and Jolene Wetrosky. Pep Club elected the B-team cheerleaders. They were Romona Jurgensen, Sandy Harlow, Carla Buum and Doris Israel. Karen Albers was elected as a substi- tute. All the cheerleaders spent many long hours learning new cheers, planning pep meetings, and working on interesting ways to get the students to show sch- ool spirit. The excitement of cheering at games and supporting the team in victory or defeat made all their long hours of practice worth while. Cheerleaders stand at attention before the game starts. 41 Cubette Staff Captures Those Days In the preparation of the yearbook, the staff is confronted with many problems to overcome, new ideas to portray, original ideas to discover, and deadlines that inevitably came too soon. From a seemingly hopeless assort- ment of material, it was their task to create a memorable year- book. The project of planning the yearbook fell upon Editor Mary Hendricks and Co-editor Carla Sundstrom. The members of the staff worked many hours to fill these pages with those days of 1969-70.

Despite last minute addit- ions, revisions and delinquent stories, the Dakota staff put out their monthly paper covering the school activities. The Dak- ota contained editorials, sports results, stories about special occasions and a few senior pro- files each month. Long and often difficult hours were spent preparing the paper by all the staff members. Co-editors for the Dakota were Julie Newman and Colleen Fickbohm. In the fall several of the staff members and advisor, Mr. Melvin Ptak, attended the annual press conference in Brookings. There they received an All- State rating on the publication for the year before. Several new and original ideas for writ- ing stories, typing stencils and setting up the pages were learn- ed to help produce the school paper. 3 B R L. to R : Janet Larsen, Cindy Anderson, Mary Johnson, Margie Van Egen Annette Danielson, Carol Danielson, Carla Johnson, Karen Severson, Elaine Stenstrom, Trudi Stubbs, Ellen Thormod- sgaard, Carol Groon, Joan Pearson , Julie Newman, Dawn Johnson, Mary Hen- dricks, R.2: Karen Buum, Lisa Miner Gloria Osterkamp, Darla Wilkens, Cindy Schempp, Sharon Holtkamp, Wendy Stubbs, Kathy Briggle, Doris Israel, LaVonne Lundberg, Janet Kraakmo, Lenora Holt- kamp, Pam Swanson, LaDonna Heiman, Col- leen Fickbohm R 3s Barb Richter JoAnn Merrick, Colletta Hughes, Dell- Vonna Bern, Rhonda Farley, Valorie Hag- en, Mary Hartman, Kathy Rogness, Lorna Anderson, Karen Eden, Darby Bel key.
