The senior class was composed of eight girls and nine boys, the junior class eight girls and eleven boys, the sophomore class two girls and nine boys, and the freshman class eleven girls and nine boys. We, the members of the senior class of '49, do hereby dedicate this yearbook to Charlie Kimes. Charlie Kimes As our janitor Charlie has always kept our schoolhouse in a condition of which we are proud. However he has been something more than just a janitor to the students of B.H.S. His smiling good morning has greeted each of us nearly every morning as we come in the door. When sets for plays or programs are necessary, or other problems of this sort arise, it is to Char- lie the students go for willing assistance and advice. As a permanent tribute to Charlie, whose loyal service and friendly manner we will long re member, we dedicate this final effort of our high school years.

Grosshuesch, who has been teaching here for three years, has served the past two years as superintendent. Having started his schooling in a country school near Huron, he went to Alpena and then to Kaylor where he finished his grade years. He attended high school at Scotland and re- ceived his college education at Southern State Teachers Col- lege and the University of South Dakota. Prior to the time he came to Bonesteel, Mr. Grosshuesch taught at Kaylor. This year he was senior sponsor, taught biology and world history, and was basketball coach. Mr. Roy Backus, teaching this year for the first time at Bone- steel, started his schooling in Henley's Country School at Geddes. He received his high school and college training at Dakota Wesleyan and also attended the University of Chi- cago and Superior State Teachers College. He has taught at Grand Falls, Minnesota, Wagner, Fairfax, and part time at Dakota Wesleyan. This year Mr. Backus was freshman sponsor and taught government, bookkeeping, typing, social studies, geology, and commercial law. Miss Gladys Sutton, who had taught here two years ago, served as principal. She began her education in a small con- solidated school, which she attended for her first eight years. After attending high school at Linn Grove, Iowa, she went to the University of Iowa, University of Wisconsin, and Colorado State Teachers College. She taught in three Iowa schools.

These familiar words were part of the class night pro- gram presented by the seniors of B.H.S. This event of events was held Friday, May 6. This year the annual affair was given as a radio program. Each senior represented some famous radio celebrity. The class Will, history, poem, and prophecy were read. Results of the voting of Who's Who in B.H.S. were also included in the program. Bob Halverson, senior class president, made the traditional presentation of the spade to Bonnie Fisher, president of the junior class. The class song, written to the tune of Clemen- tine, was the closing number. Recognition night for students in extra-curricular activities was held the same eveningg This year for the first time the students who were outstanding in activities other than sports were given recognition for their work. The sponsors of the activities presented the awards. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of '45 B.H.S. could have sent out announcements which read something like this, Bonesteel High School announces the arrival of twenty-one bouncing, healthy childreng weight- approximately 2625 lbs. and 145 ounces, color of hair and eyes-assorted, and all named Fresh- man. Their parents called them Wayne Baldwin, Eldon Dvorak, Dana Blakkolb, Marvin Perlenfein, Joyce Fisher, Velma Pepper, Dick Sage, Arleta Jons, Melvin Fiscus, Malvern Jons, Melvin Schroe- der, Bob Halverson, Denny Sieler, Norma Taylor, Joan Reynolds, Donald Sondgeroth, Josephine An- drews, Hazel Chambers, Mary June Bailey, Dorothy Schultz, and Frankie Carsten. Because the seniors were so proud of the new additions to B.H.S., they spent two whole days en- tertaining the freshmen. This was called initiation, In order that the freshman would know that this was in their honor, the girls wore men's pajamas and the boys looked delicately charm- ing in ladies' night gowns. ' . D 1 The freshmen spent a year filled with social gaiety, including three parties at the homes of Doro- thv Schultz, Norma Taylor, and Velma Pepper. They also attended a picnic at uotraits' Forty. This energetic class ran out of activities so to take up their excess energy they produced the play, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, directed by Miss button, class sponsor. There are a few incidents which occurred that year that many have forgotten. Here are just a few to refresh your memory. To begin, everyone knows that Denny S. is a Romeo! But did you know that his first Juliet was Dorothy Schultz? We all remember that Schultz party, don't you, Denny? At this time t'Pete had not yet discovered the attraction of a prospective lawyer. In fact, Zorb1e was escorting her home! Eldon was still studying! Well here's the sophomore year. It was at this time that 'tZuke abondoned his wolfish ways and centered his attentions wholly upon Catherine Gingery. This seemed to inspire Dana B. and Glenn Fisher, for they too soon became a steady twosome. Enough for the more serious romances-now we turn to something lighter-Herby and Velma. Theirs was one that sparked and flickered and then slowly died away. At the beginning of the sophomore year, three members dropped from the class. They were Josephine Andrews, Hazel Chambers, and Dorothy Schultz. At the end of the first semester, Don- ald Sondgeroth left to attend school in Missouri. To relieve boredom, the class went on several roller skating parties and one hike, accompanied by V. Grosshuesch, sponsor. Well, as we finished our sophomore year, Eldon was still studying! ' The junior year began with the addition of Carmen Roach to the class roll. This year' was 'filled with numerous activities, the first of which was the class play, The Campbells are Coming, which started off the year with a bang! Of course this year would not have been Complete if it hadn't been for a few disruptions from school work so there were parties at the homes of Carmen Roach, Eldon Dvorak, Bob Halverson, Norma Taylor, and Joyce Fisher. Again a roller skating party was enjoyed by the class. The next striking adventure was the junior-senior banquet, which carried the Pirate theme. Mrs. Foreman was the privileged class sponsor. Maybe these developments in our junior year haven't been forgotten, but anyway- This year was different. Eldon had made a startling new discovery-GIRLS! It all began in Na- per and has continued its way all through Gregory County. It was at this time, too, that Bob began to realize that his favorite color was Red They were seen everywhere together and still are. Eldon Grosshuesch joined our little group this for he was a bachelor. Our new member in the class was rushed by all Something hard for anyone to believe now is other girls existed in this world. What a change year and was approved, especially by the girls, the boys. Carmen was truly the belle of B.H.S. that Dick, during this year, actually believed that he has made! Last but not least came our senior year. Our class was joined by Doris Amsey. The fun of the year began with initiating the freshies. They have all become our friends again we hope. 7 On the 15th of October, the seniors of '49 started for the Black Hills on their Sneak Day. After spending two days sightseeing, they journeyed back via Custer and Martin. Hallowe'en night Dana Blakkolb had a party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Whidden. A roller skating party at Bass Beach was also held. Mary June Bailey dropped from the class in the The senior class play, And Came ihe Spring, was held at the home of Eldon Dvorak. second semester. given on April 29.

Max Neilan, Jim Thomas, Dick Sage, Marvin Perlenfein H On one sunny fall day 19 men reported to the first call for practice and the 1948 season was underway. Bonesteel's chances for a good season were very good as it had 7 returning lettermen from last year's squad. All of Bonesteel's football games were played under the arcs with the ex- ception of the Reliance game. The first game was scheduled with Butte on September 24. Bonesteel's great confidence was almost shattered as the team really had to bear down to come with the victory. The home team won 14-0, but penalties amounting to 105 'yards proved to be Butte's biggest asset in keeping the score down. The next game found Bonesteel trouncing Wood Lake, Nebr., to the tune of 50-6. In this game every member of the squad saw action, many for the first time. On October 5, Bonesteel was the host of the most exciting game of the season. The Lake An- des gridders almost ended a perfect record of no defeats over a period of three years. Bonesteel got off to a good start and led 13-0 at the end of the first half. The second half it, started to rain. The Lake Andes offensive then started to roll, making 14 points while holding'Bonesteel score- less. The game ended Lake. Andes 14, Bonesteel 13. ' U Next 00 the grid schedule WHS PiCkSt0Wn. Bonesteel had little trouble in taking thigggarne and as a result the whole squad saw action. The game ended with Bonesteel on the long endfdf a 39-26 score. The next game found the local squad fighting a 6-6 tie with Butte. In this game Bonesteel lacked its usual fighting drive and was also without the services of Dunkak, who was out with a sprained ankle. On October 22, Bonesteel really met its Waterloo at the hands of the rugged Geddes gridders. Geddes's clever offensive and rugged defense proved to be too much for the Bonesteel squad. The game ended with Geddes 62, Bonesteel 13. 4' f The final game of the season found Bonesteel travelling to Reliance to play its only .day game. This game was played on a muddy field, making the pig-skin a little hard to handle.. Bonesteel got off to a 19-0 first half lead, but Reliance came back in the second half to make it a little rough for the Bonesteel squad. The game ended 31-19 with Bonesteel remaining on top. The letter winners for the 1948 grid season were Duane Dunkak, Bob Halverson, Bob Haus- mann, Dean Helmberger, Max Neilan, Marvin Perlenfein, Norman Perlenfein, Dick Sage, Denny Sieler, Kenny Schmitz, Melyin Schroeder, Jim Thomas, and Bill Wernke. Jim Thomas and Dick Sage were elected honorary co-captains for the 1948 season. Thomas was the leading scorer for the season with 8 touchdowns. He was followed by Dunkak with 7, Sage with 4, Neilan with 3, Schroeder with 2, and Bob Hausmann, Dean Hehnberger, and Marvin Perlenfein each had 1. Bonesteel will lose five lettermen through graduation-namely Bob Halverson, Melvin Schroe- der, Denny Sieler, Marvin Perlenfein, and Dick Sage: but with the remaining lettermen and other ready 'reserves Bonesitel should have a successful grid season next year. BASKETBALL Coach Grosshuesch's Tigers completed their 1948-49 basketball season when they lost to Wag- ner in the Regional Finals. The Tigers had a very successful season.

In the play Curtis Abbott, a wealthy young bachelor, is placed in charge of his distant rela- tive, Helen Stanton, against his will, with the condition that he shall never see the girl. However, curiosity prompts him to visit the school she attends, incognito. Here love enters the story. Rumor makes Abbott a grouchy old invalid, and complications arise which force him to adopt that role when Helen finally comes to live at his home. Awkward explanations and heated discussions and accusations add to the comedy. Of course all ends happily, but not until the audience has been sufficiently amused with the ridiculous cir- cumstances. HUCKLEBERRY FINN Huckleberry Finn, a comedy in three acts, dramatized by Jane Kendall, was presented April 8 in the City Auditorium. if The freshman-sophomore? cast was under the direction of Miss Sutton, who was assisted by several upperclassmen.

The villains plan to rob the orphaned Wilkes girls-Mary Jane, Susan, and Joanna. Their plans are foiled by Dr. Robinson, who is in love with Mary Jane. Glory Belle Hotchkiss and her gossipy mother do their best to break up the romance. Lize, the colored maid, and her suitor, Jim, provide many laughs. AND CAME THE SPRING by Marrijane and Joseph Hayes And Came the Spring was presented by the entire senior class under the direction of Miss Sutton in the City Auditorium May 29. The action in this three act comedy centers around the Hartman family. It is spring and 15 year old Midge finds herself in love with her sister's admirer.

Miss Halverson, Miss G. Pepper SENIOR CLASS POEM by Velma Pepper I'm going to introduce to you the class of '49g If you don't know them by these slanderous remarks, really the fault's not mine. Suffering and laboring under the teacher's rule. We've studied and struggled through twelve years of school, Right now I'm sure you'd like to meet the graduating class, So by their traits you'll know them as in revue th ey pass. We'll begin with our smallest senior girl-of course you know that's Peteg There are many things I could say about her-mainly Dick thinks she's really neat. Following her is Zorbie. Heavens, how did Dick let him get so near? Of course he needn't worry because we know Zo rbie thinks any girl's a dear! Another girl you'll definitely want to meet is Joy ceg She's likely to succeed, and for first woman president she's our choice. Now is a good time to introduce Bob, the president of the classg Everyone likes Bob-especially that Blakkolb lass. A Speaking of Dana-she asked me not to mention her hair is redg She's charming, she's talented, she's-Danag 'nuff said. Marvin is the other red headed member of the senior class: If he were graded on personality and charm, he'd surely pass. Carmen is a senior girl who plans on teaching school for lifeg Maybe she will, but I think she'll make someone a lovely wife. Since Eldon has had all A's for four years that ought to prove he's smart, But all the girls he knows are wondering which one has his heart. Melvin Schroeder or Zuke, as he is better known, will probably be a farmer, But while he may be watching crops, he's mostly looking for some charmer. Everyone knows that one of the smartest girls in the senior class is Norma T., And that she is also witty and clever, everyone will agree. Denny Sieler is known for his wisecracks--and his curlsg He also has many varied interests-girls, and girls, and girls. Doris Amsey came to us from the Lone Star State, ln personality, charm, and with Norman she really does rate. Herby is one of those senior boys who doesn't beli9Ve in all W0I'k and 110 Playf' In fact if it's anything connected with books, he'S likely to Say, 'Tm 'wo tired today. One of the prettiest girls is Joan-B.H.S.'s queen of '493 She's ambitious, but flirting with the sophomore b0yS is her favorite pastime. And then there's Dick, who's ambition has always been to study law, But now I wonder-law or Pete ?-it's probably 8 draw- Malvern J ons plans to attend college to learn mo re 211301112 farming: He's known by that's a crock and other expressions equally charming. I'm a senior, too, and I think my class is swell even if this poem doesn't show itg While there isn't much I can say about me, one thing's sure-I'1l never be a poet! SENIOR CLASS WILL We the seniors of '49, being of sound health and mind do hereby bequeath the following: Doris Amsey wills her many admirers to the underclass girls. Wayne Baldwin wills his athletic ability to Bill McDonald so Bill won't have to work so hard at track. Dana Blakkolb wills her soft voice and quiet manner to Marjorie J ons and Ellen Hausmann. Eldon Dvorak wills his report card to Duane Dunkak so that Duane will be eligible for athletics. Pete J ons wills her empty lipstick tubes to the local junk man. Dick didn't have any use for them. Toots Jons wills his ability to make a big stink in lab to some underclassman, preferably one with a cold. Bob Halverson wills his pilot's license to Ronnie Knox. Bob figures that is the closest Ronnie will ever get to heaven. Zorbie Fiscus wills his slim waistline to Gladys Lunn and his way with the girls to LeRoy Jons. Velma Pepper wills her reserved manner to Sylvia Frank. Marvin Perlenfein wills his influence with law enforcement officers to all the one arm drivers of B.H.S. Carmen Roach wills her loud walk to Bill McDonald so that he won't be able to sneak up on people any more. Joyce Fisher wills her low notes to Cathy Thoene. Joan Reynolds wills Elmer's address to Connie. It seems Connie has wanted it for a long time. Dick Sage wills his love making technique to Charles Boyer. Denny Sieler wills his shy manner with the girls to Bill Bruce. Norma TaY101' d09FU,t Want to appear selfish, but she doesn't feel she has anything to spare. Zuke Schroeder wills the rocks in his head to the geology class. H - A Q Little Geologists BOOM! CAN YODZI 11v1AG1Nf: Joanne Jons not chattering all the time? Dick Sage not sitting with Pete Jons?
