Farm Crisis Affects Area In the past year, many local farmers have been forced to sell out. One of these farmers was Craig Severtson. Seniors from FHS were among the 150 college and high school stu- dents that attended the farm sale. The Severtson farm was scouted for CBS coverage for the Evening News on a farm series. Mr. William Janklow announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate on February 22, 1986. A crowd of home town friends and visiting Re- publicans was gathered in the Com- munity Center for this Lincoln Day dinner. FHS's Swing Choir sang two songs from the 1950's era at the dinner. The high school stage band pre- sented the dinner music which in- cluded a medley of Glenn Miller se- lections. An auction of donated items from area businesses raised $2100 at the annual Trent Harvest Ag. Festival on March 1, 1986. This money was used to finance scholarships for graduating students from the schools of Flandreau, Egan, and Dells St. Mary’s. Gasoline prices at local service sta- tions have been gradually falling. Over the past year prices for regular gas generally averaged $1.10 per gallon. This spring, prices began falling to an average of $.83 per gallon. The lowest price in Flandreau for regular gasoline was $.76 per gallon with unleaded gasoline about a nickel higher. The former high school middle school, built in 1914, was demolished this summer Many had hoped that the building could be saved and used for some other purpose Graduation, held on Sunday, May 25th, brought the community together to celebrate the end of the school year Organizations honored seniors with awards and scholar- ships.
