Dedication We dedicate the 1956 Gorilla to Mr. Brecht. Few people realize or will ever know of the struggle to produce this annual. But yet in our darkest hour we were not forgotten. Mr. Brecht came to our assistance and made possible the production of the most elaborate Gorilla ever produced. The 1956 Gorilla will remain indebted to him forever.

The Gorilla, hallow possession of students of former years, has once again captured the essence of GHS. T'his yearbook serves as a faithful recorder of life here at GHS and will be thumbed through and recalled Whenever an alumnus remembers his youth and those happy days spent here at GHS. Hours of pleasure, planning, working, and anxiety have gone into this, your Gorilla for 1956. It has been an honor to serve and work with Al Nelson and Mrs. Nichols . . . the annual staff was wonderful, as was the cooperation of the student body . . . It's been a privilege to edit your yearbook. Inn Sjwaef, fdifafz We present the 1956 Gorilla-a representation of your life at Gregory High School in the past year. We have tried to evaluate the most import- ant happenings, which are accumulations of little things-little things which are the essence of traditions. We present the 1956 Gorilla to you- to you, the Freshmen who will be entering into a larger scope of Gorilla life and activities and a world of your own, to you, the Sophomores, who are midway through this temple of high-school education and are first realizing your abilities, ambitions, obligations, and handicaps, to you, the Juniors, who are too much involved in activities, formulas, future plans and adjustments to quit now, and last, yet first, to you, the gradu- ating Seniors, who have given and received much from four years at GHS, to all who hold with them a small amount of the richness of spirit and tradition of this, our GHS.

Class Prophecy As I sit here in my battered desk in the study hall of Gregory High School thinking of the times, both good and bad, I hear the third period bell ring. As Don-na Dobesh and Midge Tlustos pass through the door they are follolwed by a large group of students, all with happy looks on their faces-except those who have just received a low grade.

AS Rosebud Conference Champions The roaring Gregory Gorillas started out a successful season of football when they left August 29 for the annual football camp at Camp Bob Marshall near Custer. Through a week's practice and training the 40 boys began to show up well. The Gorillas proved their strength on Friday night Septem- ber 2, when they invaded Custer with a 14-6 victory. The following Sunday the group re- turned home. Practice was resumed Monday, September 4. The first official game came with Heelan High, of Sioux City, Friday night, September 9, under the newly constructed lights on the Gregory field. The Gorillas turned out a good game except for a second quarter when the team got down. The following Friday the Gorillas journeyed to Miller, where they upset the Miller eleven 34-7 without much trouble. The Gorillas held Miller on the 1-yard line several times through- out the game. The night of Seplember 23 saw the weather being very warm and an ideal night for foot- ball. The Gorillas easily rushed over White River to win the second game of the season 21-0. The next weekend saw another ideal night for football and the first conference game for Gregory, they were to clash with the Burke Bulldogs at Burke under the lights. The Gorillas batted down Burke's aerial attack with a hard and fast charging line and a hard running backfield. The score was kept close with a 7-0 victory for Gregory, who had now stiarted on their way to a conference champion- s ip. The month of October turned out to be successful for the Gorillas although the weather was turning cooler, they never lost a game. They started out October 7 with Wagner entertaining them, where they easily slipped by with a 39-0 victory over the Red Raiders. The next weekend Gregory was ready for a revenge on the Platte team on the home field. Gregory took an early lead and held a 21-7 lead at the end of the game. October 21, the Gorillas packed up and headed for Vermillion where they would play the first afternoon game of the season. With a very warm and sunshiny afternoon, Gregory took the lead very easily and let the little Gorillas take command the rest of the game except for the remaining few minutes in the fourth quarter when the first eleven went in to hold the Tanagers down to one touchdown. Gibbons' Galloping Gorillas came out on top with a score of 28-6. The next Friday the Gorillas stayed home to meet Chamberlain in the second conference game. With a moderately cool evening Gregory easily held the Cubs to a 26-0 victory, to win the second conference game. The only one now remaining was Winner on November 11. November didn't start out as well as October, although the weather was getting colder. The first Friday in November saw the Gorillas traveling to Wessington Springs. The Gorillas came home a little disappointed when they were upset 25-7.

It was a cold blustery afternoon with Winner' picked to win. Both teams had not lost a conference game. Gregory started the game rolling with a 14-0 lead at half-time. The sec- ond half showed Winner coming back strong to get a touchdown, but the Gorillas matched that with two more touchdowns and the game came to a halt as the final gun sounded with Gorillas coming out on top with a victorious score of 26-7 and the second straight Rosebud Conference Championship for Coach Gibbons' Gorillas.

The Gorillas took quite a jump from the B to the A this year and came out on the short end of things. The Gorillas, although playing a few A teams, found out the difference in the brand of basketball. They were more or less a hot and cold team during the entire season. But they had a few highlights during the season. The Gorillas beat Fairfax 44 to 41 after playing a good control game. Fairfax was in the top 10 most of the season in the B poll. Another highlight during the season was when the Gorillas nosed out the Platte Panthers in the final seconds of the game by a score of 53 to 52. The Gor- illas played some tough teams during the season such as White River, Chamberlain, Fairfax and Parkston, getting spilled most of the time but then again giving most of them a good game. i Coaches if Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Crockett sf? - 2 This page sponsored by Son-Ray Implement Co. and Keith SL Schlaht Produce 3ill Jonas goes up high for two points.

The verdict was decided by an actual jury which was chosen from the audience to come forward and sit in on the case. A different jury was selected for all three performances. Karen's Attorney, Mr. Stevens, succeeded in getting two Hnot guilty verdicts while the District Attorney, Mr. Flint received one guilty verdict. This play was a big success and it received much favorable comment for some time. Bob Williams, 'Karolyn Feyereisen, Bill Saathoff, Nedra Lundberg, Larry Vavruska and Sharon McIntyre. S U C P E I2 I O CD U R T R OF NEW YCDRK Senior Class play Tiger l-l ouse fBy Robert St. Clairl Tiger House has been played profes- sionally all over the country and every- where it has been a tremendous success. It is with the assured guarantee of the play's background that the Seniors have selected it for their Senior Class Play. This clever mystery play is laid around an isolated country estate called Mystery Manor because of the alleged hauntings. Erma Lowrie, a young shop girl, has inherited the estate from her eccentric aunt, and according to terms of the will she must occupy the house for a period of two years. Erma's cousins, Arthur Hale and Oswald Kerins, her living Aunt Sophia and Peggy Van Ess, a former girl friend, are all house guests when things begin to happen. Yami, a Hindu who is really the head of an African Tiger Cult, has come to Mystery Manor to recover a jewel neck- lace of value that Aunt Sylvia had stolen from a tiger when she was in Africa. Macintosh, Who was really Erma's sweetheart, came to Mystery Manor pos- ing as a detective to protect Erma. Arthur Hale and Thompson, who posed as circus trainers looking for an escaped tiger, were really back of all the haunt- ing at Mystery Manor.

Eight o'clock sessions, day in and day out, produced sleepy heads at first, but soon all grew used to it. Stiff legs and numb fingers testified to the fact that the band played at several night football games. The next highlight was the trip to Brookings for the Hobo Day parade. Several favorable comments were re- ceived. Band members worked furiously to perfect the Unfinished Symphony and A Night at the Ballet. They journeyed to Mitchell to give their pep Band Nineteen members of the regular band were selected to play in the pep band, which played at the pep meetings and at all the home games.

The Junior - Senior Prom, which was spon- sored by the Junior class, was considered the most beautiful and most successful prom that has been put on in Gregory High School for many years. The meal for the ban- quet Was planned and cooked by the mothers of the Junior class and was served by several mem- bers of the 'sophomore class acting as wait- resses ancl Waiters. An Evening In paris The Juniors and Seniors with their dates enjoy an evening of dancing following the banquet. All the Mademoiselles and Messieurs of the Junior and Senior classes and the faculty dined and danced under the breath-taking enchantment of an Evening In Paris. Potted plants flanked the entrance of the sidewalk cafes where the glow of candle- light over the brightly checkered tablecloths gave a gay Parisian air. Berets and other Parisian attire transformed several sophomores into authentic Parisians, who served several of their French delicacies to the diners in fine French style. The music of Mademoiselle Betty Van Cleave and Monsieur Jimmy Thomas wove a spell over the happy couples as they danced and romanced beneath the magnificent Eiffel Tower. The spell was broken all too soon, as 12 o'clock and the fading 'strains of The Last Time I Saw Paris, brought the end of a never-to-be forgotten Evening In Paris.

It is significant, in this case, of the great rivalry that has existed for four years of unceasing endeavor on the parts of the recipients. The relatively small difference in attainment between Joyce and Don is indicative of the great natural ability and application of the salutatorian. Alexander Pope most aptly described this instance when he said, A gentle scholar is a saint in wisdom's eye. The best wishes of the Gorilla staff for continuing success to both. Valeciictorian t'Scholar's pens carry farther and give a louder report than thunder. -Sir Robert Browne. The valedictory honor has come to many students at graduation since the institution of the custom. The many students receiving the award, however, represent an infinitesimal portion of the great mass of educated. With valedic- tion go innumerable hours of, sometimes seemingly needless, work. It would seem a pity, upon consideration, that this is the only honor to be bestowed' upon one who has labored so mightily. No student has been more worthy of such a position than Don. We are proud that our school is the one that had the opportunity to give him his start. Joyce Sattler Most Qepresentative Seniors Joe Sejvar Don Stukel Al Nelson It is their kind in all ages to take the buffet and cushion the shock. It is their care that the gear engage-sg it is their care that the switches lock. Not as a ladder from earth to heaven, not as a Witness to any creed. But simple service simply given to their own kind in a common need. -Kipling. Dependability personified-Joe, Don, Al-repre- sentative seniors. These are the three we would like to have the world think are typical of our group. Joe: Sportsmanship, cooperation, leadership with a pur- pose, solid fundamentalist, patience, democratic principle, grace. His words, I will. Don: Dignity, agressiveness, impatience with mediocrity, precocity, unrelenting drive, elocutionist, scholar, the progressive spirit. His word, Impossible? Al: Integrity, seriousness of purpose, scientist, continued quest for knowledge, agrarian, sincerity, the champ- ion of the common man. His word, Why? Q2 -7 Joyce Sattler DAR Joyce was elected by the high school faculty to represent Gregory High School as the 1956 DAR Candidate. This is a citizen- ship award sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution as a basis for scholarships. Each year a senior girl is elected for county participation. National Honor Society Left to right, standing: Allan Nelson, Don Stukel, Joe Sejvar. Sitting: Carol Haines, Donna Dobesh, Shirley Schweigert and Joyce Sattler. The National Honor Society of Gregory High School recently received its charter. The pictured people are the charter mem- bers of the organization. It is a national society for the recognition of scholarship. Membership is limited to the upper 15 percent of the senior class in scholastic order. The officers are as follows: Allan Nelson, presidentg Donna Dobesh, vice presidentg and Joe Sejvar, secretary- treasurer. Gretchen Frank Jackie O'Neill Girls, State The Girls' Staters were chosen by the Legion Auxiliary on the basis of citizenship, scholarship, and leadership. Girls' State is held on the Campus of Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell dur- ing the first week of June. A deeper knowledge of city, county and state government as well as a member of unforget- able happenings and many good friends are gained from Girls' State. Jim Barrett Ray Giske Boys, State The Boys' Staters were chosen by -the faculty with the approval of the American Legion. They were chosen on the basis of citizenship, scholarship, and leadership. Boys' State is held on the Campus of Northern State Teachers' College in Aberdeen during the first week of June. The aim of the program at Boys' State is to learn about government and enjoy the learning about it. As one Boy Stater puts it, there is a greater and deeper experience gained than just making friends and having fun. At Boys' State we experienced government-we are actually the govern- ing bodies, and the citizens, in a functioning, operating system of government. Q - ffsfmfgg X X32 hi?
