The year’s program was planned around the theme: “Families Here Today—Here to Stay”. Some of the activities that everyone participated in were: a Halloween party for the young children, Christmas caroling party, FHA week, carnival- soup supper and family night and style show. One of our major concerns this year is to strengthen family and community relations. We tried to achieve this by having our soup supper and carnival the same night as well as our style show and family night for the whole family. During FHA week there were many fun activities that the whole school participated in. Mrs. Brockhoft commented, “This year was a lot of hard work, but it turned out to be a very successful year. The members’ hard work paid off, and we ended the year with much success and enthusiasm.” Officers: adviser—Mrs. Brockhoft, Jackie Bauer—program chairman, Anita Moulton—reporter, Karen Lynn—vice president, Lisa Bauer—president, Connie Kramer—secre- tary, Kristy Pickard Historian Shelly Jensen—treasurer.

Memories The cheerleaders were chosen by the student body and faculty in the spring of 1980. New adviser, Mrs. Karen Boyd brought many new ideas, cheers, and routines to the cheerleaders. A lot of hard work, long hours of practice, extra imagination and dedication were needed to make this year a success. There are many memorable moments of the games and of the exciting events that took place with them. Some of the highlights include: the girls basketball squads led the Elks spirit right up to the district championship game, the football cheerleaders hosted homecoming and when they were tackled in the Colman-Elkton game, and the boys basketball squads performing at the districts. All in all it was an exciting year that will be re- membered by all. Tough game, huh? No! No! Clap in time Dorothy. You’re supposed to cheer Karen. Shanana (FFA boys) decided to visit Elkton. wl Pam’s job as editor included helping Jackie Bauer. Annual f | Ron Vaske, photographer. New Looks And Ideas Kristy, Shelly, Gayle and Jackie look over pic- tures. This year started out very slow but it progressed rapidly. Our senior editor this year was Pam Rochel and co-editor was Cathy Nelson. The yearbook took on a new photographer, Ron Vaske, eighth grade, who was a tremendous help to the staff and spent many long hours developing our pictures. Mrs. Al- berta Moore was our advisor. We decided we needed a change for our cover so we went with maroon and ivory. The yearbook will be judged at the State Publications Contest in the fall at SDSU.

Dan Stein set a record by winning four individual championships.

For the first time they took ninth place at the State meet placing ahead of Castlewood and Ramona who had beat them in the Region meet. Coach Vincent commented, “I’m proud of the five girls who ran and made Elkton one of the top teams in the state. Elkton had sixth and seventh grade girls this year who showed great dedication along with Dorothy 0. and Sue T. who will put Elkton in a position to be a top team next year.” Elks will miss experienced seniors, Darla Walters and Lisa Bauer next year on the team.

Leon- ard Gebhart, and Doug Bundy but will have re- turning youngsters with good attitudes. Jeff Ryk- hus, a junior was Most Valuable Player and led the team in scoring, rebounding and shooting; Brad Lynn, junior guard, who was named Most Improved Player on the team also contributed immensely. All in all, it was a year in which we had to suffer through some hard times but yet a year in which we found out that we can’t wait until next year. 1. Jon Vaske shoots for two. 2.

The “B” squad finished the basketball season with a record of 4-11. The team was led in scoring this year by Most Valuable Player, Jeff Anderson, who averaged almost 10 points per game and was also the leading rebounder with 7 pts. a game. Todd DeVries, was the team’s Most Improved Player over the year as his hustle and determination often fired the team up when we needed it most. Randy Pe- terson led the team in steals and played very tough defense. Coach Woolery commented “The team improved immensely over the year and several of these ball players are now ready to fill the shoes of the varsity members left by our seniors. Their hustle and desire will help them as they move up to varsity basketball. All the players on this team will help keep a good basketball tradition going in Elkton.’’ Bill Lynn seems overpowered. 29 “Pain Is Our Friend The 1981 Track season started as a rebuilding year. With the leadership of 5 seniors and 15 underclassmen, the team learned, improved, and by Conference time developed into a team capable of the championship. By Region time, the Elks had put together 4 relay teams that qualified for the State meet in Spearfish. This marked the 4th consecutive year Elkton has taken all 4 relays to State (something no other Class B schools have done). Dan Stein also qualified for the State in the 1600 and 3200 Coach Terry Vincent taped Janii Hegerfeld’s ankle for the track meet while Kevin Krogman and Todd DeVries put in their two-cents worth. runs. Jeff Rykhus does his best in his part of the relay. State Track Meet State qualifiers were: Dan Stein, Jon Vaske, Jeff Rykhus, Leonard Gebhart, front row Tim Bauer, Jim Bauer, Dennis Stein. At the State Meet in Spearfish Dan Stein placed 5th in the 2-mile run and a 3rd place went to (he Spring Medley team (Tim Bauer, Jon Vaske, Jeff Rykhus and Leonard Gebhart.) -'■ jj£ - A 1 30 Girls Go To State Meet In Spearfish State qualifiers were: Lisa Bauer, Dorothy Gebhart, Darla Wal- Darla placed 4th at the State Meet in hurdles. ters.

Lisa Bauer, and Dorothy Gebhart)—7th place; and 2-mile relay (Sue Kramer, Dorothy Gebhart. Darla Wal- ters, Lisa Bauer)—8th place. Girls Team—Small And Strong This year’s girls team received ex- cellent leadership from the two seniors on the squad. They were Lisa Bauer whose specialties are the 400 and 800 meter races and Darla Walters, whose specialty is the hurdles. Both of these girls qualified for the State Meet. The team also included Dorothy Gebhart, Janii He- gerfeld, Sue Thielsen, and Sue Kramer as the main body of the track team. Supporting members were: Travys Harvey, Angela Rykhus. Tronn Burlage, Jill Suhr, Carla Pottratz, Michele Johansen, Diane Clark. Brenda Page, Chari Redenius, Deh Stein, Traci Knuth and Sheila Landsman. The girls were coached by Mr. Darrel Woolery.

For the second year in a row, the Elkton football team ran into some tough luck and also some very tough competition and ended the season with an 8-0 record. The Elks schedule included four teams who were in- cluded in the final ratings of the state football poll. Lack of depth really hurt the Elks this year as we had only 11 varsity players. The Elks showed great courage and enthusiasm throughout the year and this is a reflec- tion of their character and pride these players have in their school. The Elks were led defensively this season by Jerry Bauman who averaged 25 tackles a gameand offensively by Tim Bauer who rushed in 455 yds. Jerry Bauman and Jim Bauer were honored by being named to the Eastern Dakota All-Conference Football Team. We hope to get a winning tradition started in Elkton next year.

In math we learn to add and subtract through 18. tell time, measure different units, and distinguish geo- metric figures; we also make bar graphs, count money, use number lines, and recognize frac- tions; in phonics we learn the letters and their sounds, rules to help us decode new words and in health we learn how to keep our bodies healthy. S«� cial studies includes learning about ourselves, families, school and community, and children of other countries. We also do some cooking and get to prepare our own breakfast at school. W'e also have spelling, writing, language, art. music, physical educa lion, and science In second grade we read a higher level materi- al. We learn to recognize common syllables, identify story settings and use commas to get meanings. We learn to rename with carrying in addition and borrowing in subtraction. We do experiments in science from our science lab. We learn more about the sounds the let- ters stand for and how to use what we know in helping us grow in our knowledge of our lan- guage_____________ Second Grade First row (I r): Paul Wiskur, Karla Mot ter, Kent McDowell, Cari Hemmen, Second row: Rrent Smallfield.

Panorama and Fiesta reading books are read. Bach has three magazines with tests at the end of each magazine. In social stud- ies our I look deals with the study of “Communities. This makes the children aware of workers, various groups, and economics of a community. In science the areas we cover are various re- gions and the problems in living that each presents. We see plants, animals, weather, cli- mate, soil and water as they are related to humans. Third Grade First row (l-r): Paula Smith, Stacey Wiskur, ('layton Taylor, loanee Bothe.

They “dig into social studies with a study of South Dakota then move on to study the discovery, exploration, and settlement of the United States. Fourth graders attempt to become Astounding Ad- ders, Super Subtracters. Mighty Multipli- ers. and Dynamite Dividers by reaching certain goals in speed together with 10 r, accuracy. Stamp collecting is a new hobby liegun by many pupils this year. A first aid class is taught by a student nurse.

Fifth Grade The students really look forward to fifth grade. That’s because you get your “own” locker and you’re next to the high school section. Fifth grade is also the time for learning new and different things. In math we learn about frac tions, decimals, and geometry; social studies is exciting with the learning of the thirteen colonies to each of our 60 states; science is packed with projects about leaves, insects, our digestive sys- tem, and our eyes; reading involves many different skills including context, dictionary, similes, metaphor, and com- prehension. The sixth grade has worked hard pre- paring for junior high. We’ve reviewed many basic skills and explored new areas, too. We increased our skill of ba- sic math facts by challenging the fifth graders to contests; fractions were the highlight of math as we learned how to reduce, add, subtract, multiply, and di- vide them. language introduced the parts of a sentence, and we learned to diagram sentences. We selected and read iibary books to our kindergarten friends on Fridays. We also were “help- ers” during their daily playtime.
