Eli, a mild-mannered inventor, father to this unpredictable family, finally invents something that someone wants. His son. Ham, a half- witted detective, teams up with an Amazon girl friend, Gertie Simms, to track down the nationally famous crooks, Archie the Sapper, and Lillie the Lynx, who have stolen Eli's inventions. Ellen, Eli's energetic wife, immediately makes plans to use the reward money in one of her wild schemes. The play becomes one of fast and furious fun, where the unexpected can be expected to happen—and usually does. Of course, all ends happily—as it should. Serving were K. McDermott, P. Conway, M. Hageman, B. Hanson, C. Dalton, R. Pellicotte, D. Parlin, J. Suhn, R. Jirsa, T. McLaughlin, D. Day, S. Bloomenrader.

A stone wall around the stage framed The Monarchs, who played for the evening's dancing and Grand March as the girls walked through a flower-decked arbor to meet their escorts. The juniors and their guests danced until twelve o'clock, then were served a lunch by their parents before attending a movie. Weary, but happy revellers found their way home at four o'clock in the morning with glitter- ing memories of Singing in the Rain. Junior and senior class presidents and their dates lead the juniors and seniors in the Grand March. The Grand March is brought to a climax as juniors and seniors form an arch.

Freshman Officers Freshmen Not one of the 68 frosh was overlooked at the Freshman Initiation Party. To the delight of the entire student body, the seniors had devised proper torture for each one of them. After the party and a short period of orientation, the freshmen, in spite of their exuberance, settled down to head the honor roll several times and to maintain a consistently high level of scholarship. Large Freshman Class Brings Changes to HHS A freshman class of 68 — largest in many years—made its presence felt in numerous ways in the fall of '63. The large enrollment necessitated a change to three home rooms as it was no longer possible to retain one study hall for all students. Division of classes and a double shift of workers at the lunch room were also nec- essary to accommodate the large enrollment. Mrs. Huntington took the responsibility of class adviser.

Joette was on the A Honor Roll each six weeks period during the year, and Michael missed the A list only once. Stay- ing at the top of the freshman class was a prodigious feat since fresh- men on the honor roll outnumbered upperclassmen in three of the six reporting periods. Freshmen Decorate for Baccalaureate Decorating the stage for bacca- laureate isa freshman responsibility. Marita Willardson, Rogene Hall, and LaVaughn McGirr make light work of a floral arrangement.

The season was injury-riddled from the third game against Ciieyenne-Eagle Butte on Sep- tember 27 through the Homecoming game with Onida on October 18. This Homecoming game turned out to be the last one of the season. With 12 men missing from the line-up due to injuries, Coach Wingen was forced to cancel the game with Ft. Pierre, last on the schedule. In spite of the losing season and all their troubles, the Pirates played their games before some of the largest crowds they have ever had, and their fans remained loyal through the final game. The Pirates started off with a bang by going to Hoven and defeating them 25-13. After this game the trouble started. They were nudged at Cheyenne 14-12, a matter of two conversions. They were trounced at Do land by the Wheelers, 21-7. They dropped their first home game against Sunshine Bible Academy on October 15, 20-13. In the second home game the Pirates defeated Stephan 14-13 in one of the hardest fought games of the year. On Homecoming the Pirates were slaughtered by a strong Onida team, 39-0.

In the first game of the season with Ft. Pierre the Pirates picked up a 28-12 victory. At Wessington they were trounced by the Warriors 32-0. The third game of the season, again with Ft. Pierre, this time on their home field, was hard fought, with the lead changing hands several times during the game. But time ran out for Highmore when they were just a few yards from the goal line and they were defeated 18-12. The Pirates won the final game of the season against Sunshine Bible Academy, 21-12.

Pierre Agar DISTRICT 16 TOURNAMENT Winning Season Is Farewell Gift to Coach Coach Wingen received a farewell gift of a winning season from his 63-64 basketball team. Wingen is leaving HHS this year after four successful years of basketball coaching. Although the Pirates failed to come through the District 16 Tournament as champions and did not take the LCAC Tourney, they posted an impressive season's record of 11 wins, 7 losses. By winning the last game of the season against Harrold the Pirates threw the LCAC standings into a three-way tie with Agar and Ft. Pierre. They also defeated the Ft. Pierre Buffaloes the very day they were seeded No. 2 in the State Associated Press rating. Although the Pirates will lose their big guns, Vogelgesang and Hamlin, and also Iverson, Busse, Jirsa, and Filbey, they should come up with another winning team in the 1964-65 campaign. Co-captains Jim Jirsa, Tom Hamlin, and Dave Vogelgesang inspect trophies symbolic of their team's achievements. The boys were chosen by the first 12 members of their team.

Hamlin in State Meet Tom Hamlin was the only Pirate to qualify for the State Meet. He did this by virtue of a third place in the discus in the Regional Meet. Besides this feat, Tom set a new school record in the Discus by heaving it 140' 4 . He placed first in the Wessington Springs Meet with this toss. Tom also picked up firsts in the Discus and Shot-Put at the LCAC Meet.

Gordon Sampson leaps as an official holds tape. Dave Vogelgesang gets set for a practice leap in the broad jump in preparation for meet competition. The '64 Track Team, while completing a rather mediocre season, put two new records in the book. Tom Hamlin wiped out the all-time school record in the discus with a toss of 140'4 in the Wessington Springs Track Meet. This erased the 1948 record of 140'0 tossed by Merlin Gramm. The second broken record was posted by the sprint medley relay team which this year set a new LCAC record for the event. The record-breaking team was composed of Goodrich, McLaughlin, Vogelgesang, and Tom Hamlin. Their time was 3.57.3. % Muscles straining, mouth set, Tom Hamlin con- centrates on his discus toss. 68 Track Records in ’64 HHS racked up four first places in the LCAC: Tom Hamlin in the shot discus; Randy Jirsa in the low hurdles; and the sprint medley in the relays. HHS placed second in the LCAC Meet, and fourth in the Wessington Springs Meet, but the only HHS thinclad to qualify for the State Meet was Tom Hamlin who placed third in the discus at the Regional. A number of promising sophomores make next season's prospects bright. Tom Hamlin's good right arm meant points for HHS in every meet in which the track team partic- ipated in '64. Randy Jirsa displays the style which won him a first in the hurdles at the LCAC, and placed him in other meets this year. Happy to have broken the LCAC record in the sprint medley are seniors, Tom Hamlin and Dave Vogelgesang, standing; sophomores, Mick Goodrich and Randy Jirsa, kneeling.

Follow Us We open the doors of HHS to the freshman home room where ninth graders keep their books and report in the morning. As we wander down the hall, the shop room comes into view. We hear the buzzing of saws and the pounding of the hammers of indus- trial art students learning the fundamentals of shop and leathercraft. Rambling back to the art room at the far end of the hall, we examine students' works of art, and learn that this room was shared with the Hisodak staff, who planned and assembled the annual here. We cross the hall and enter the home economics room to watch future homemakers learning to sew and cook. Descending the stairs, we enter the gymnasium where many hours of the school week are spent in physical education classes and extra- curricular activities such as band and vocal music. Three flights of stairs and a turn to the left brings us to the math room where the mysteries of through HHS algebra, geometry, and trig are revealed. Across the hall in the senior and freshman English room, we see a class struggling with grammar and liter- ature. Next door in the study hall students spend free hours preparing for their next classes. Every student in high school is familiar with the science classroom and biology, and perhaps physics and chemistry. Across the way, the clickety-clack of typewriters greets us from the commercial room. From the open door of the speech room at the south end of the hall we hear a debate in full swing. The last room on our tour is the junior English room where grammar and literature are taught to HHS juniors. We end our tour of HHS and bid farewell to classrooms which held 206 high school students and provided facilities for 39 daily classes during 1963-1964. Behind the Scenes—Efficiency An institution at HHS—Hank Sanderson is known to every student and teacher. He has been school custodian 18 years. His wife, Milly, assists. There were plenty of requests for seconds at Hot Lunch this year. Assistant, Mrs. Helen Durfey and Cooks, Mrs. Ann Patterson and Mrs. Carol Stephens prepared for approximately 185 students and teachers daily. Two shifts of students helped with cleanup chores.

Band Has Active Year under New Director In the early morning hours 45 band students trekked to school for their daily eight o'clock practice under the direction of Mr. Gerald Bertsch. During the year the band has had various activities. Among these were playing for football and basketball games, presenting Christmas and spring concerts, participating in the Bi-City Music Festival in Miller, traveling to Huron for a Band Clinic, and sending individual groups to Aberdeen to compete in the Region IV Music Contest. With the encouragement of music instructor, Mr. Bertsch, a band parents organization was formed. Its project was to raise funds for the purchase of new band unifomis and instruments for the music department. Later in the school year the School Board agreed to purchase the new uniforms which will make their appearance next fall.

Bigger, Better Annual Chere Bleha, Hisodak Editor, flanked by Assistant Editor Janis Hall and Sophomore Editor Sally Jo Syring, work on layout mats. Assistant Linda Mason and Business Man- ager Arda Rae Jacobsen put the finishing touches on the ad section. A school annual is not prepared in a week. When the 1963 annual went to press, plans were already being made for the '64 yearbook. Editor Chere Bleha attended an Institute for School Publications at Brookings last summer to gain new ideas and knowledge to be put to use in publishing the Hisodak. Larry Moss, HHS photographer, with the help of his assistants Chuck McGhinnis and La- Vaughn McGirr, snapped most of the pictures featured in the '64 annual. At the end of the school term, while Editors Chere Bleha, Janis Hall, and Sally Jo Syring instituted a crash program of picture taking and last minute details to include all school activ- ities in the annual, Business Managers Arda Jacobsen and Linda Mason concluded a suc- cessful ad-selling campaign. Adviser, Mrs. Cline supervised a staff of 37 students who made the 1964 Hisodak the largest annual ever published at HHS. Ne tv Equipment Gives HHS Photography a Boost Starting modestly in 1963 with a borrowed camera, a borrowed enlarger, and bread pans for developing trays, the HHS photography shop set up business in a corner of the custodian's broom closet. Still in the closet and still using a borrowed camera, but with an enlarger and electric print dryer of their own, as well as plastic developing trays, the photography department has increas- ingly taken on the responsibility of recording the pictorial history of HHS. Larry Moss, school photographer, has breathed life into the project, and this year trained two assistants, sophomore. Chuck McGhinnis, and freshman, LaVaughn McGirr, to take over next year's photography duties. School photographer, Larry Moss and LaVaughn McGirr, fresh- man assistant, pose for Chuck McGhinnis, whom Larry has groomed to take over the photography chores next year. Bread pans served as developing trays before new equipment was purchased for the dark room. 90 Larry Moss works with the new enlarger. In the background are plastic developing trays and an electric print dryer.

The Juniors started the evening's entertainment with a skit, Confusion. The Sophomores in a take-off of the recently born Aberdeen quints, presented their Five. Skipping to Victory were the Seniors—missing only a few beats as they twirled jumping ropes. The Freshmen showed the audience how a foot- ball game should be played. Throughout the program Marshal Gordon Sampson put up with the heckling of his brother Terry, who thought the wrong Sampson had been elected Marshal. The band and girls' sextette provided musical background for coronation. Homecoming activities came to a clamorous end with a pep rally and a dance featuring the popular Starfires.

It took midnight hours and a week of labor after high school had ended for everyone else, but the Hisodak staff finally made it. A quart of glue, three reams of paper, several boxes of paper clips, red pens, pencils, and erasers had disappeared. Consumed also were quantities of snacks and pop. As one staff member commented, If we're not the best Hisodak staff HHS ever had, we'll prob- ably be the fattest. As we locked the door to the Hisodak room for the final time, we want to thank everyone who helped in the production of the 1964 Hisodak—businessmen, faculty, students, staff, and all subscribers. 138
