The 1965 BACKTRACKIN’ Published by the Annual Staff Canton High School Canton, South Dakota Six Phases of C.H.S. Administration................ 3 Seniors...................... 11 Underclassmen.................2g Athletics.....................45 Activities....................57 Features..................... 77 ADMINISTRATION Administration Clarion White Superintendent Patrolling the halls and keeping an eye out for lit- ter bugs are only a part of Mr. Wolthoff's duties as assistant principal.The Algebra I classes play a big part in his school duties. and Faculty Robert Tupper Principal Answering the telephone.deliver- ing announcements, answering ques- tions .and handling numerous amounts of correspondence are only part of the job, and Wanda Anderson, Mr. Tupper's secretary, knows it. 4 Strive to Provide a Good Learning Environment One foot forward and good eye contact are two charac- teristics of a good speaker; Mr. Coplan tells his Speech I classes. Mr. Coplan is the athletic director at CHS. Columns, columns, columns are what bookkeeping students keep adding all the time.This class is under the instruction of Mr. Frank Tjeerdsma. He is also our guidance counselor. What does a cover mean to you? In Mrs. Grove's home ec classes it means a place set- ting. Art and the F.H.A. are also under her supervision. The perfection of Brahm's is what Mr. Robert Reiser achieves as vocal instructor of junior and senior high music groups. 5 Ach, du meine gute is emitted frequently from our German instructor,Mr. Dietrich, to his freshman athletic squad on the field. He also teaches the prin- ciples of mathematics to his Math 9 class. An inscribed circle tan- gent at point A is shown by Mr. George Gross, one of our math instructors. His classes include ge- ometry, college trigonom- etry, Algebra II, and one class of physical education. Coping with the antics of the journalism staff down at the news office and in the Echo Club is enough to make any man cry; but in his biology and general science classes Mr.Pickard is cool,calm, and collected. The Typewriter must be the favorite song of Mr. Dick Van Holland, as he teaches all the typing classes. Shorthand and secretarial students are also under his guidance. Censored; all the an- nual staff members know what this word means.Miss Powers,our adviser,is the quoter of this well-known word. Teaching English I and II, along with coach- ing declamation,keeps her busy. 6 K-012 sounds like a call number to Mrs .Mary Bryant, our CHS librarian. She is reliable, helpful,and always cheerful to every- one . Mr. Pottratzis his name; history is his game. He also instructs civics and economics. Ask a band student if he has heard of Manhattan Beach. The answer will be a defi- nite yes, since the band memorized it for the Tulip Festival. Mr. Lippert also directs concert band and gives music lessons. To be or not to be is the question presented to the English IV students by Mr. Freeman. Besides an English II class he teaches speech II and creative writing. He has inspired students in the field of dramatics and declamation. Don't worry,that explosion you heard in the upper halls of CHS was only Mr. Dennis Heinrich's chemistry class. Physics and senior science classes are also on his teach- ing schedule. Another of his jobs is advising the science club. Mr.Arlo Mogck impresses the world situation,both current and historic, on his world geography and world history classes. As head basketball coach, more boys know him on the basketball court than they do in class. It's funny that English isn't running out of Mrs. Byrnes’ ears after teaching three classes of English III and one English II class. She also advises debate. One, two, three, four; this familiar ring is heard resounding in girls' and boys' physical education classes by Mr. Gary Breitag. tfe also coaches the B basket- ball team. 8 The.only woman math wizard we have at CHS is in the jun- ior high department. She is Mrs. Eloise Heppler, and her students are the 7th and 8th graders. Instructing Language Arts to all the junior high stu- dents may seem like a big job, but it looks as though it doesn't phase Mrs.Moen a bit. Mr. Hoff, is the moon only two hours away from the earth? I suppose we could get the an- swer in his science class when the 7th and 8th graders study the chapter on astronomy. Washington never told a lie— to find out if this is true, we could visit Mr.Van Hunnick's 7th and 8th grade social stud- ies classes. 9 Washing floors Is Just one of the num- erous tasks inthe life of amiable custodian, Clarence Hartland. An apple a day keeps the doctor away must be a motto of our C.H.S. cooks, Edith Danielson and Jean Xetterman. Courtesy Is ■ Like to try this on your living room rug? Kay Jones uses this type of vacuum to keep our school spic and span. Contagious With head custodian Louis Fostvedt putting on the finishing shine, no wonder CHS can claim the brightest,shiniest halls around. Mg Haln or shine, snow or sleet—our bus drivers always go through. Our in- vincible drivers are Bat Sanderson, Merle Olson, James Nelson, Milan Varholdt, Tony Ifen Essen, and Martin Severson. 10 W of Lorys Bahnson Brian Hurley Sharon Ix kcn I know a lot, but I can't think of it! H e has an eye for curves—baseball and other- wise . With her knowledge of figures, she should be a math teacher. Vice-President President Secretary-Treasurer Backtrackin’ Staff Presents the Class of ‘65 For what will the senior class of 1965 be remembered? Our size? Our scholarship?No,these are only average.But what about qualities such as leadership, initative, and enthusiasm? Our class can be proud of its many achievements. The dramatic and speaking ability of the Class of '65 is unique. We have been recognized many times for these important traits. Spirit and enthusiasm have been important factors of our class The floats we have created have won first prize the last two years. As juniors our float, Let's Dunk 'Em, captured first; and as sen- iors, Victory at C was our prize-winning float. The athletic ability of our class was only average but welcomed every time the C-Hawks took the field, court or track. As juniors we sponsored a successful banquet which was RomanEra, the scene that decorated the armory that beautiful moonlit night. As seniors our prom,- Paradise Isle, cast a tropical mood over those students attending. All the members of the Class of 1965 wish to thank parents, fac- ulty, and the student body for the many things they have done to aid us and forward our plans for the future. 12 Emily Torberson Thomas Mausbach Like gravity, she nas the power of attraction.

Seniors Oh, say,wouldn't I look cool in this 1900 jacket! exclaims Marian to the rest of the cast members. Trying on and deciding which cloth- ing to wear was half the fun of the play. The other half was,of course, presenting Our Town. Bring Recognition to CHS Eunice Nelson proudly displays one of the many C-Hawks she painted for CHS her senior year. Lorys Bahnson and Doug Dittberner were chosen for the Dan- forth award for their outstanding leader- ship, scholastic abil- ities,and character. With those legs, no wonder the camera wouldn't focus! Stripes, plaids, and lace were all re- vealed as the juniors lost their pants to the seniors in the senior class assembly. Juniors . . .

These coaches worked hard to build winning teams during the 64 grid season. With only two lettermen returning, there was much building up to do for the entire squad. The coaches for the year were Burdell Coplan, Elwood Dietrich, Gary Breitag, George Gross, and Arlo Mogck. Two C-Hawks were honored by being named to the All-State football squad. Scott Freeman was an All-State backfield man and Jack Suter, an All-State lineman. Three records were broken during the '64 grid season. Jack Suter broke the career tackle record with 162 tackles. The season tackle record was broken with 120 tackles by Scott Freeman, and Dennis Block broke the kick-off record with a 41-2 yard average. The Men Behind a Successful Team Jumping at every command, bringing water to the foot- ball boys, and encouraging the teams on with moral sup- port were the 1964-1965 ath- letic managers. They were Rick MikkeIson,Dave Thorsby, and Kirk Dean. The person responsible for making sure all the newspapers were notified of the games and scores was our hotline correspondent, David Earll. Canton’s swift and cagey C-Hawks, who brought home the Southern Dakota Con- ference crown and were champs of the Lennox Invitational Tourney are Steve Bogue, Ray Johnson, Brian Hurley, Jim Thies, David Brenden, Coach Arlo Mogck, Doug Dittberner, Scott Freeman, John Eidsness, Bruce Anderson, Butch White, and Jim Glenn.

OHawks Reign O'er Southern Dakota Conference Nine old records came tumbling down as the mighty Canton C-Hawks wrapped up a successful 1964-1965 basketball season. Seven of the nine records broken were through individual efforts put forth on the court. Brian Hurley, a senior, broke all three rebounding records. The new records stand as follows: 27 rebounds for a single game, 242 rebounds for a single season, and 565 rebounds for a career record. Scott Freeman, a junior, set the single season record for assists at 72 and 169 assists for a new career record. Two scoring records were subdued by the keen shooting of John Eidsness. John, also a junior, had a total of 397 points for the single season scoring record, and he shot 50.9$ during the season for a new field goal record. These boys did an excellent job as individuals, but they also did a great job of working with the oth- members of the squad. The squad itself broke two old recordsJheir new field goal percentage record was 43-5$ and they shotan average of 63 6 points per game for the other new team record. The basketball squad brought home two big trophies to display in the new trophy case. After three years, the C-Hawks once again reigned over the Lennox Invitational Tournament after winning a hard fought game with Parker. The C-Hawks were also champions of the Southern Dakota Conference for the first and the last time, as starting next year Canton will be in a new conference. Canton bowed only to Yankton in the Section V Tournament which brought to a close a terrific season for the 1964-65 basketball team and close. 52 A host of C-Hawks close in for the kill. Looks like a free for all; how come we're on the ground? Surrounded by Harrisburg Ti- gers, Scott Freeman still man- ages to lay it up. John Eidsness and an unidentified Steve Fodness comes to the rescue of C-Hawk tackle a Rock Rapids’ back as ball carrier Bob Howard. Scott Freeman looks on. The fleet-footed C-Hawk relaymen were E. Westhuis, K. Dean, S. Fodness, B. Anderson, T. Lease, C. Johnson, S. Grove, J. Bjorneberg, B. Howard, J. Espeland, S. Freeman, P. Martin, J. Thies, B. Stewart, and D. Torberson. OHawks Sweep 1st Canton had a very successful season. For their sixth straight year they have won the Southern Dakota Conference. The Hawk thinclads captured the first running of the Sioux Empire Conference track meet. They also won many trophies with the distance relays and field events gaining many points. Doug Dittberner, who placed in every meet, was Canton's only placer in the State meet with a 4th place finish in the broad jump with a leap of 20’ 4 . Two The Hawk's sprinting cindermen were R. Knutson, P. Martin, K. Dean, T. Lease and B. Howard. Canton's long-winded distant run- ners included G. Devitt, T. Carlson, B. Stewart, D. Torberson, E. Westhuis, J. Thies, J. Espeland, and S. Fodness. Freshmen who gained track ex- perience this year were (first row) J. Fox, D.Menholt, J. Aurit, G.Dexter,and J.Gorman;(second row) F. Van Bockern, G.Heyden, G. Del- vo.N.Veenis.G.

Tupper, R. Knutson, B. Anderson, J. Thies, F. Bartling, D. Ditt- berner, and J. Edwards occupied during practices and meets. in Sioux Empire Meet new school records were shattered. Butch White, a junior, smashed the shot put re- cord by heaving the shot 46' 7 to erase Rocky Bahnson's old record of 45' 9 set in 1963. The two-mile relay team,composed of Jim Thies, Brian Stewart, Jim Espelar.c, and Dennis Torberson, bettered the old re- cord of 8:41.1 by coasting to a 8:27-7• Canton had a young squad with mostly junicrs and should have an even better season next year. Track is fun! Just ask our weight- men: D. Suter, N. Veenis, G. Hill, B. White, G. Johnson, R.VanderV aerdt, and J. Suter. Our two represent- atives to the state track meet at Water- town were Doug Ditt- berner, a senior,and Brian Stewart ,a soph- omore .

Pep Club Keeps Spirit High Rivals during the game but friends at half time, the cheerleaders take a break to recuperate and get acquainted. How big are the C-H a w ks? So-o-o big! echoes Renae, our faithful mascot, to the loyal Canton fans. 58 B team cheerleaders were once again a part of CHS this year. Cheerleaders for the '65 basketball season were Debbie Karmelink, Donna Glenn, Betty Simpson, Mary Sweeter, Martha Lintvedt, Cynthia Souvignier, Marcella Hurley, Jeanne Roetzel, Mary Bong,Linda Hanson, Deanna Ness, and Linda Griffith. Cheering their freshie team to vic- tory in the Big Four Tournament were cheerleaders Debbie Van Bockern, Cathy Johnson,Cathy McVay,and Vickie Frislie. “ET Team and Freshman Cheerleaders Gain Experience All for Canton, stand up and holler! As another year comes to an end, the cheerleaders look back at the past year. Their memories are filled with victories, disappointments, new friends, and many funny experiences. Barb Eiesland Lolly Ramharter Memories, memories, a whole two years of them drew this year to a close. As Barb, Janis, and Lolly graduate,the group breaks up, leav- ing only one veteran on the A squad. A lot of work goes into a job such as this. Let's look at someexam- ples- -the Lennox Invitational, the Vermillion Tourney or the Milbank game. Here's only part of our proof of their enthusiasm. The kids real- ly yelled and screamed to cheer on their team. Our cheerleaders helped generate this spirit. At times the spirit lagged, but these girls at- tempted constantly to arouse enthus- iasm. As the saying goes, there's a wom- an behind every successful man; our cheerleaders have faithfully been behind the team,leading the student body. Barb Devitt Janis Reierson Cheerleaders Generate School Spirit O.K., who stole the ball? — Don't look at us! We wouldn't do anything like that. Why should we worry? We're only freshmen, exclaims C. McVay, secre- tary-treasurer; T. Carlson, vice- president; and S. Bjorneberg, presi- dent. Should we eat it or give it to the teachers? asks sophomore class of- ficers B. Howard, president; M. Hur- ley, vice president; M. Overby, sec- retary-treasurer. Leaders of the Pack Glancing through theme books for the junior-sen- ior banquet are D. Suter, treasurer; J. Gilbertson., secretary; B.

Bahnson, vice-pres- ident of the senior class. The governing body of CHS was constantly in session. Here we see M. Ander- son, S. Oakland, D. Sinning, J. Eidsness, K.

They'll Argue All Night to Prove That They're Right Canton's first string de- baters—Steve Grove,Dan Suter, Ted Bogue, and Steve Bogue— put in a lot of time and ef- fort on their part;they didn't go unrewarded. Hard at work, these debaters are searching for material for their topic: Resolved that nuclear weap- ons should be controlled by an international force. We are the greatest city, the greatest nation... echoes Mary Bong,the winner in poetry at the local declamation elim- ination. The poetry division consisted of K.Veenis.C.Red- ner,L.Nichols, D.Havelaar.E. Nelson,J.Reierson,J.Liedtke, and M.Bong.

Relaxing after their winning perform- ances, are Donna Ingebrigtson, humorous division winner; Bonnie Simpson, dra- matics division winner;Mary Bong,poetry division winner;and Steve Bogue.oratory division winner. 63 Though perhaps not so serious at the moment, these dramatics students have probably the most exacting task of any other group.Demonstrating is Mr. Freeman, adviser, as K. Trowbridge, M. Hurley, K. Fox, and B. Simpson watch intently. The humorous division, coached by Miss Powers, seems fascinated by Donna Inge- brigtson’s discourse on the lady who missed the train. Other members were S. Miles, N. Tollefson, B. Eiesland, J. Nutter, P. Murphy, L.Holter, J. Krueger, M.Wood,J.Gilbertson,and J. Christo pherson.

As the student body marched into their first assembly of 1964-19o5 on August 31� the CHS band could be heard above the greetings of the students. This was the beginning of a very busy year. Marching on through their schedule, we find the band at the Homecoming parade.They also set the pace the night of Coronation, as they played the processional, recessional and during the program. Rain, Rain, Go Away was often heard as the band took a walk on the wet side at the Vermillion Homecoming parade. They arrived home with uniforms destined for the cleaners and with droopy,wet plumes. frosty the Snowman was next on the agenda when two snow- men were guests at the annual Winter Concert. At last spring had sprung for the band. Prac- ticing for the large group assembly and devel- oping a new stunt for the Tulip Festival were only a few of their endeavors. The CHS band made a trek to Lennox to spend a whole day of practice together to produce the Canton-Lennox band festival that evening. Pretty flowers and formals marked the beginning of spring, and these were all a part of the Pop Concert which provided a leisurely atmosphere with food,friends, and music. As Pomp and Circumstance filled the armory, the seniors were escorted into a memorable moment of their lives. The seniors played in the band for their last time with mixed emotions during Czech Suite. Between farewells and tears, the band played the reces- sional. In rememberance of their war dead, 73 The girls who led the pace for the band were Julie Dexter, head majorette, and Debbie Harmelink, Linda Ness, and Deanna Ness. Saxophone quartet mem- bers P.

Supernatural Feelings Captured in “Lost Flight Lost Flight, the all-high play drama, was con- cerned with the reactions of various passengers on a Lost Flight when they were confronted by an emissary of death, Mr. Cross. Each passenger on the plane, from its youthful pilot and stewardess to old, sickly Ruth Bordan, re-examine their past and preview their future with the mysterious Mr. Cross. Before Mr. Cross takes over the controls and guides them to their final destinies, each passen- ger finds out many things about each other and themselves that were previously unknown, including a confession by Laura Troy that it was she who planted the bomb-which created the Lost Flight. Mixed reactions are expressed after the announcement of a bomb on the plane. Engrossed in thought about the approaching pro- duction of Our Town is the di— rector,Mr.Free- man.

Seniors Reveal “Our Town' Thornton Wilder's Our Town was chosen by the class of '65 as their senior production. One of the most produced plays ever, Our Town fulfilled the expectations of both audience,cast,and director, Mr. Freeman. The play, narrated by Steve Bogue and Lynn Myers, was concerned with the lives of two families in a town very similar to the one in which we live. The first act presented a picture of the daily life of people, feelings, and beliefs which dominated their V6 S• The second act, entitled Love and Marriage, saw the leading characters.Emily Webb and George Gibbs, portrayed by Janis Reierson and Brian Thies, who were brought together to begin a life of their own. The final act took place in the graveyard of Grover's Corners. This act would probably be called Death, or perhaps Life. This act stated the message of the play in that we don't really value life or realize the earth around us fully until we are taken away from it. Oh, I just have to tell you! is being exclaimed by Julia Gibbs, Pat Murphy, to Myrtle Webb, Marian Thorson. Pictured below is the 1964 all-high play cast with director Mr. Freeman.

A flair of trumpets and the majestic cor- onation march announce Janis as she enters to accept the honor of being Miss Blue and Gold of 1964� After giving the traditional pep talk, Queen Janis presented Jack Suter with his good luck penny. The students of Canton High celebrated the thirty- ninth annual Homecoming on October 1 and 2.The stu- dent body chose Janis Reierson and Brian Hurley to reign as Queen and Master for the two day festivities. Also elected by the students prior to this memorable event were the eight attendants, who were Lorys Bahn- son, Jack Suter, Barb Devitt, Brian Thies, Lois Ram- harter, Doug Dittberner, Julie Waters, and Kirk Dean. Amid a trumpet fanfare on Thursday evening, the Coronation commenced.lt was followed by a bonfire,pep fest, and a snake dance. Their faces reflect their happiness as Queen Janis and Mas- ter Brian leave the auditorium and entdr into the thrilling moments of Homecoming. The traditional good luck pennies were presented to the members of the football squad by the Queen at the pep assembly which began Friday's activities. After the Homecoming assembly the students put the final touches on their floats and the parade began. It was followed by a pep rally. Enthusiasm rose as Master Brian,Queen Janis and her four attendants presented the football to the co-cap- tains. The grand march,which started the annual Homecoming dance sponsored by the sophomores,was led by the mem- bers of the royal court. At the stroke of midnight, Homecoming came to an end, but the memories will linger on. 84 Sleepily dressed Brian Hurley, senior class president,was a little rushed this morning: but regardless of his outfit, he arrived in time to present the senior class key to Dave Brenden, junior class president,at the senior assembly.

This is the way most of the class of '65 feel about their high school career. During this, our last year, we all enjoyed the feel- ing of being on top—of being mighty seniors. Everything we participated in had a ring of triumph,excite- ment, finality, and a little sad- ness . Probably the greatest week in our high school career was Senior Week. May 21 was the beginning of the end of our high school life. As the juniors marched over to the senior section and we moved into the new world of alumni,strange.mixed feel- ings flooded our thoughts. Laugh- ter reigned as we watched the junior boys lose their pants to the senior boys as a result of a bet made to attract more couples to the Junior- Senior Banquet and Prom. The peak of our assembly was the revealing of the class will and prophecy. After a complete day of semester exams on Thursday, May 23, the en- tire class was hungry for some fun— and delicious steaks! Our class picnic in Newton Hills State Park had a sufficient supply of both. Softball, hiking, and eating kept the class in joyful harmony for three fun-packed hours. Steve Bogue and Butch White seem to be having some type of discussion about Steve's cap after the bac- calaureate services. Written in High School Book As the senior picnic drew to a close,only one thing kept us united as a class, and that was the offi- cial ceremonies that every gradua- ting class experiences. Baccalaure- ate services were held in the aud- itorium on May 30. Before the sol- emn moment arrived, we had a brief buzz session in the vocal room. The over-all tone was one of laugh- ter, but deep down and hidden was a tear for all the wonderful times we had shared as a class. Rev. Fjare, Rev. Iverson, and Rev. Cowherd be- stowed their blessings on us and started us off on the right foot for our walk through life. The big night finally arrived. By now most of us realized that no- thing we could say or do could keep us in the sheltered world of the high school student. The time had come for the young bird to leave the nest. Were we ready? Could we manage on our own? What lay in store for us? These were the ques- tions that came rushing through our minds as we walked down the aisle to our seats. The answers—? Well, only time will tell. Pride in our accomplishment and determination to do the best job pos- sible with our lives were the feel- ings that swept over us as we re- ceived our diplomas and a congratu- lating hand shake from Mrs. David Suter. The class rose to meet life as the band played the majestic re- cessional. Our triumphant march led us out of CHS and into our own individual walks of life. Is my hat on straight? Laurie Alness seems to be asking Warren Frick. Mrs.Mary Jane Suter presents Marian Thorson, valedictorian, with her well-earned diploma. Looking quite solemn and almost sad, David Earll and Brian Hurley enter the armory for the last time as seniors. 91 mundson's Dry Goods Carl K.
