Before the game started, the cheerleaders took a funnel, made by the art class, onto the field. The cheerleaders, pep club members, and the band formed two lines in which the boys ran through before proceeding around the rest of the field. During Homecoming week, it is traditional for the Sen- iors to paint the rock which is located in the southeast corner of the parking lot. This year the rock was painted an avacado green with the '71 painted in gold. Brad Bonde hand painted the '71. King Kevin and Queen Bette were honored on Homecom- ing by leading the parade through main street. Bette was head cheerleader for the Fliers, and Kevin represented Flandreau at the State Wrestling Meet. They also took time out at half-time to greet the cheering crowds. We ended the night with a victorious win over Harrisburg 35-12. Homecoming week was full of excite- ment, anticipation, and nostalgia. The seniors are seen here on the road after completing the painting of the '71. They say that life is a highway and its milestones are the years.

Cheerleaders Help Push Fliers Toward Victory To become a cheerleader, you must first try out in front of several faculty members. They choose ten girls who will then try out before the student body. These girls are selected according to per- sonal appearance, skill in jumps, arm movements and spirit. Finally, the student body selects from these ten candidates the varsity cheerleaders. The Flandreau High School cheerleaders were kept busy boosting our guys to victories through- out the year. Before the season started the girls attended a potluck supper at Chester with their adviser, Mrs. Hellerich. All the cheerleaders in the new conference were present, and they ex- changed a few ideas.

One Act Plays — Hard Work And Fun One of the three One Act plays presented at the local contest this year was Ah, Romance . Pic- tures of this play are shown ABOVE. The Sunny- brook Home for Aged ladies was a happy place until Mrs. Willma Spruggs fell in love with a visit- ing plumber, one Aloysius Grogan. Their romance blossomed and then suddenly wilted when Miss Jessie Daniels, roommate to Willma, stretched out her claws in the direction of the bewildered Mr. Grogan. Each is confident she is the one he will take out for the day. The situation, while tense, is extremely and totally humorous. Unfortunately, Mr. Grogan chooses a third and surprising campanion. Alpha Beta Gamma Sorority is just finishing Pledge week when news arrives that Major Curtis (recently retired from the Women's Marine Corps) has been assigned as housemother. Her rules are strict and this means no late hours and no rock and roll. She plans to introduce calisthentics, curfews and mess duty . To make matters worse, Major Curtis arrives in a wheel chair with a broken leg. Major Curtis has a weak spot. She's incurably superstitious — a fact one of the pledges plans to use to the sorority's advantage. By the time the pledge is through Major Curtis is bounding for the door, de- termined to be a housemother at Jackson College in the next county. “The Ugly Duckling” Goes to State Arrangements have been made for Prince Simon to marry Princess Camilla. The King and Queen are rather anxious, because—let's face it—Camilla is plain! So it is decided that Dulcibella, the beautiful maid, will impersonate Camilla until the wedding. But Prince Simon has heard that Camilla is so beautiful that he considers himself rather plain beside her, so he has his man, Carlo, imper- sonate him, because Carld is very handsome. Simon and Carmilla meet by chance and fall in love. Each looks quite beautiful to the other, and they live happily ever after. The Ugly Duckling by A. A. Milne placed first in the local One Act Plays Contest held on January 18. They received a trophy for their superior rating at the District contest at Lincoln High School on January 23. On January 29 and 30 they went to Huron to compete in the State contest. This was the first time that any play from Flandreau had taken part in the State contest.

The vocalists were David Ullom, Margo Headrick, Keith Bunker, Jani Neprud, Tim Urban, Susan Ekera, Steve Ramsdell, and Debbie Severtson. The piano was played by Jaralyn Johnson. It appears that John's speech was pretty good. Right, Jan? Diane Ludgate and Susan Brook were picked out of the Sophomore class to serve punch at the prom. They are pictured above by their wishing well full of punch. The Nickel Bag of Soul, a nine piece show band, provided music for the couples at the Prom. Six of the members are graduates from FHS. The couples pictured at the LEFT, are taking time out to sit at a sidewalk cafe. The cafe was de- corated with checkerboard table- clothes and candles which added to the enchanted evening. The couples took advantage of the music provided by the Nic- kel Bag of Soul. The dance was held at Spafford Grade School. It was decorated with light and dark blue streamers on the walls and on the ceiling. There were also stars which made you feel as if you were outdoors. The Juniors work was well worth the effort. 48 Fliers Tackle Rough Road The members of the Flandreau Varsity team are from FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT— Ken Rahn, Steve Headrick, Bill McFarland, Gordon Beekman, John Ludgate, Brad Bonde, Stuart Zephier.

Luckily, during the year, we had no serious handicaps or injuries so we had a full line. Quite a few Juniors were able to play so the school can look forward to another suc- cessful season next year. 1971 Football Schedule WE TEAM THEY 26 Elk Point 12 0 Canton 32 0 Chester 12 35 Hairisburg 12 14 West Central 14 24 Tri-Valley 6 0 Garretson 15 0 Vermillion 42 0 Beresford 34 Stu Zephier wards off a possible touchdown. 50 Seniors John Ludgate Ken Rahn The coaches of the Flandreau football team are from CLOCK- WISE starting AT THE TOP— James McGlone, Dan Cecil, Winfield Grebel, and John Evans.

The two games they lost were to Tri-Valley and Garretson late in the season. Because of their 8-2 record, the team was able to bring home the trophy for the Inter-state Conference. The District Ten Tournament in which the Fliers participated was held in the Brookings High School gym. We drew a bye for the first round and defeated Egan in the second. This win led us to the championship game. We play- ed the Sioux Valley Cossacks, and we were beaten in a tense overtime by one point.

All the boys feel they gained experi- ence, and they all hope for both a conference and a district trophy next year to add to the school's collection. The two managers for the teams were Mark Thies (TOP) and Chuck Hofkamp. Chuck had a little trouble with his memory at the beginning of the year. He forgot the B team's suits and the A team's warmup jackets. Arlington lent us a few of their uniforms, luckily. All in all, the teams really appreciate all the help the boys give them. The Freshman basketball squad is coached by Mr. Harold Schoeneman. They are pictued BOTTOM ROW-Greg Corcoran, Carl Teer, Keith Johnson, Dennis Jewett, John Bechen, Fred Jones, and Larry Hanson.

The season ended with an 8-4 dual record. Two of the wins were over teams rated in the Top 10 of the State. We finished second in the conference standings; first in the Confer- ence Tournament; and first in the Regional Tournament. The boys on the team this year maintained a pride that was most needed for a winning team. Togetherness and team spirit carried through from the B squad on up to the varsity. Standing at LEFT is Craydon Dailey, one of the five FHS wrestlers who won a first place in the Interstate Conference Tournament.

Coach Gus Bames led the track squad through a successful sea- son this year. He is shown in the ABOVE picture. It takes a lot of endurance to be fit in track. An example of it is Bruce Lee shown here hurdling. 59 1971 TRACK SCHEDULE MEET POINTS S.D. S.

We have two trophies for taking first place in the Madison meet and the Interstate Confer- ence. The others are for superior achievement in medley and relay teams. Our track team showed a lot of ability and endurance in their 1971 season. We were number one in our Interstate Confer- ence and our total points were 66 3 4. Garretson came up close with 65 1 3. The next week we attended the Region III at Madison. We lost first place to DeSmet who had a total of 86 points. The boys also set a few new records this year. We had no home meets because our new track was not finished. We are looking forward to using it next year. Seven of the boys qualified for the State Meet and two made the finals in the 100 yd. dash. Those two were Bob Keck and Fred Dahlmeier. The other boys were Kerry Thomas, Steve Mach. Stuart Zephier, Bruce Lee, and Kim Duncan. Shown ABOVE are the school record breakers in track this spring. They are Kerry Thomas, Bob Keck, and Bruce Lee, not pictured. Kerry Tho- mas showed his talent at Canton in the Two Mile Run. His time was 10:25.8.

Wittem Scholarships. The scholarships were awarded on the basis of financial need. Also, the student must be of average or better scholastic ability. Appli- cations were filled out by many students, and then a boy and girl were chosen by a committee of five adults. They were Mrs. Lil Nace, Chairman; Mr. Andy Zephier, Mrs. John Bonde, Mr. Tom Hart, and Mr. Wayne Ly- dord. The money is now in the Farmers State Bank under the F.A. Wittem Scholarship Fund. Mr. Wittem was a 1920 graduate of Flandreau High School. Now, he is President of Fawn Engineer- ing Company at Des Moines, Iowa. These eleven girls are members of the National Honor Society. They are FRONT ROW-Gail Dailey, Pam Thomas, Jackie Olson, Sue Ann Boothe, Bette Hass. BACK ROW-Shelly Whaley, Donna Wanner, Debie Carr, Cindy Buch- holtz, Pat Neal, and Laurie Jorgensen. National Honor Society is a very select group. They are chosen according to leader- ship, fellowship, character, and they must maintain a 3. 25 average or better. A list of candidates is sub- mitted to the faculty. They may eliminate any names they feel do not have these qualities. The list is then given to the members of NHS for approval. Dean Mogle—Masonic Award Machelle Whaley—O. E. S. Award The annual Awards Night was held May 11, 1971. On this night, several seniors received well deserved awards for their scholastic excellence. The candidates were chosen by members of the senior class and the faculty. Each organization chooses the candidate which they think deserves the award most. The awards are presented by a member of that organ- ization on awards night. These seniors have put forth that extra effort needed to be a success in academics and citizenship. For this, they must be certainly be congratulated! Steve Headrick—K. C. Award 66 The hopes of the entire senior class, and indeed the hopes of all of us, go with them as they journey into tomorrow. In this endeavor, we wish them luck.
