1 1967 HISODAK HIGHMORE HIGH SCHOOL HIGHMORE, SOUTH DAKOTA Foreword Here is the story of 1966-67...presented with the use of pictures and words...it’s unique...it’s our story...it’s a story presented through the eyes of the students...who could better recount the myriad adventures of a year at HHS? In theory and concept it can have no other title than that of “A Yearbook”...with thought and justification our yearbook is entitled ‘‘The Hisodak.” 2 We who compile this yearly epic only hope that it will, in the years to come, stir old mem- ories and warm a few hearts. And now let us present what we feel is most representative of...the events... the changes... and the people of 1966-67. LaVaughn McGirr and Susan Mason.

To present a lasting memory that would be representative of all was the goal. The success of the undertaking varies with every student, but it is hoped that in future years, this yearbook will stir long-forgotten dreams and ambitions for all. 1966 - 1967 Through the Eyes of a Student 6 HHS Is Many Things . . . A school is symbolic...although no two people make the same mental picture when thinking of it...a school is more than just a building...one day it can be the arrival of the bookmobile... perhaps on another day it is a favorite class or a crowded study hall...the anxious student may picture the busy office on checkout day...through each separate set of eyes the school appears differenj . - A 7 . . . It Is Sportsmanship and Spirit 8 In Spite of a Losing Season There is something significant about a losing season...the players learn to listen more care- fully to their coaches’ instructions...captains rea- lize that opponents can be good friends...fans acquire sportsmanship...intramural competition is stressed...and young adults are taught to accept defeat. 9 . . . It Is Individuals 243 Strong, 10 the Ordinary, the Unusual • j ery individual sees life different- ly...and therefore applies his own unique ability in different fields...this is good...this is the way life should be...the outstanding individuals set examples for youth...the enthusiastic indi- vidual arrives early and expectantly awaits the bus or perhaps the next race...fun-loving indi- viduals cherish their own youth...the intellec- tual individual contemplates with serious and open mind and finally attains his goal...the typical student is a combination of these and ma many more traits. HT| 11 E ven after the final bell has rung for the day, events go on-not as separated or isolated occurrences, but rather as a continuation of new ambitions and dreams. Perhaps to the participant, his contributions weren’t significant or had not met his expectations. These attempts, however, are the ones that fit together to form a much larger .and more important picture. But this picture will neverj be complete-it will always remain the ultimate goal as each individual tries, separately and coactively.to put forth his best and reach for the limits of his ability.

In Choral Groups Blending seventy-four voices in mellow into- nations, Mr. Bertsch enthusiastically directed excellent choral groups this year. The gym was the nucleus of delightful melodies, with girls’ and boys’ glee meeting twice a week Fridays the mixed chorus echoed through- out the school building. Both Fall and Spring Concerts were readily accepted by the public. A new flavor was added this year with the band accompanying the chorus. The All-State selections produced two seniors, a Junior, and a sophomore to represent Highmore at Watertown. Soloists and girls’ensemble chosen in local elimination entered the Region IV competi- tion and presented their numbers at the contest in Aberdeen. Six Accompany The graceful, gliding fingers of six pianists caressed the gleaming ivory keys this year at HHS. The fiery, spirited musicians relinquished study halls, noon hours, and spare time developing their talents and accompanying the chorus and various vocal and instrumental ensembles and solos.

The band paraded in Gypsy Day at Aberdeen, Pow Wow Day at Huron, and also entertained fans at home games. With the coming of winter and cold weather, the musicians put away their parade caps and spats and replaced them with white shirts and bow ties, their concert attire. The band presented their annual fall and spring concerts in a nearly professional style. They were awarded a well- deserved encore and standing ovation at the close of the spring concert.

To Sweep Forensic Competition A ff I Wi L2 Numerous research trips, hours of practice, and determined confidence proved to be the essence of success for Highmore’s forensic team. Perceptive techniques of argumentation pre- sented both A and B teams with impressive records of 45 wins, 19 losses and 51 wins, 5 losses respectively. Under supervision of Coach Peters both A and B debate squads pushed all competition to the wayside as they swept the Central Forensic Conference, totaling 270 points for Sweepstakes Honors. With this decisive victory Highmore pushed on to the State Forensics Meet in rookings. At the State meet speakers were pleased with high ratings but dismayed with lower unkings. Tough pairings made the debate quad equally disappointed with fourth place on the question of military or non-military assis- tance to foreign countries. But the future will unfold another opportune season for the ever persistent forensic team. ORNERY ORATORS...hated to let a win slip by. FRONT ROW: L. Zilverberg. S. Remmick, A. Odegaard.

Long hours of writing, arranging, searching for Just the right words go into every yearbook. At the end is a feeling of relief and anxiety— relief that it actually is completed and anxiety that maybe something could still go wrong. There is hope that the__gjudents will like it, and that the project will be successful and worthwhile. To accomplish this task a new system of Hisodak staffing was instituted this year. Teaching “apprentice” editors, Kay McGirr and Lois Harter, the tricks of the trade were editors LaVaughn McGirr and Susan Mason and assistant editors Juanita Kindopp and Nancy Millar. Busi- ness manager, Shirley Kusser, also had a novice, Peggy Hale, to initiate into the world of ad- vertising. With photography being done by a number of people the yearbook slowly began to take shape. Phrases were pondered over, headings written and the 1966-67 Hisodak evolved. HISODAK AD SALESMEN.

Library Offers Academic Atmospher « ? “ J--— — face csslomnsv rBrJ— -- A library is an institution devoted to the col- lection of books, manuscripts, and reference materials for the student: but much more than this it provides for the student an atmosphere where he can escape the distractions of his classroom and move into an imaginary world created by his choice of literature. The librarians, the caretakers of the library. helped to motivate the students b accessionu !xx ks and keeping the library inVirder. Mrs! Koc, their adviser, instructed the librarians in the proper methods of accession. A new addition to the present system was the Bookmobile which came every month bringing new and varied lxx ks through the Title III program.

Mrs. Meek and Mrs. Stirling. Displaying efficiency and originality the girls sponsored the annual Sweetheart’s Ball in February and crowned Lexie Cowan, Sweetheart. The funds for this event were provided from a basket social held at their “Daddy Date Night.” Other sources of revenue were cookbook and bake sales and the concessions at a basketball game. Five girls were the proud recipients of the Junior Degree. These hardworking girls were: Sue Russell, JaNean Eckstein, Kathy Stirling, Cynthia Stirling, and Sally Jo Husband. Lexie Cowan was voted the most outstanding FHA’er. Fund-Raising SOPHOMORE SUCCESSOR...Kathy Stirling is congrat- ulated by advisor. Mrs. Morford. and outgoing prexy, Peggy Meek.

History Finally Repeats Itself With her eves sparkling and her heart thumping Barb Rinehart stepped onto the stage to accept the banner designating that she had been chosen to reign as Marshal over the 1966 Homecoming festivities. After the trials of numerous campaign trivialities Barb was both relieved and over joyed to have been chosen from a field of boys Dale Suhn, Craig Fausett, and Jan Busse. Campaign speeches, slogans, posters and other forms of politics were all a part of the drive. Barb received another honor when she learned that the last female Marshal, Sharon ingseheit, had reigned in 1961. Marshal Rinehart’s duties ranged from being master of ceremonies on Homecoming Day to crowning and introducing the new king and queen and the attendants. weather 36 THE ROYAL PARTY...Crownbearer, Todd Cowan; King Vcrn, Queen Janell; Crownbearer, Cheryl Busse; Attendants Roger Campbell, Allen Wcidenbach, Ramona Jacobsen and Jill Shepherd. and Football Defeat Chill Spirits Old traditions were laid aside fa he 1966 Pirate Day game action was in me evening instead of the afternoon. Freezing temper- atures and high winds greeted the Pirates as they ran onto the field. It was too cold for the band and twirlers to render their annual . pre-game performance. Nevertheless the game proceeded with the improving Pirates pitted against the top- ranked Gettysburg Battlers. The adverse elements didn’t seem to slow the Battlers down much as the Homecoming team trailed 13-0 at half-time. At the end of four quarters Gettysburg was still ahead by a 27-7 margin. Highmore’s lone touchdown occurred in the beginning of the second half and was cuted by Roger Hanson. The offensive depart- ment did an excellent Job and the game was termed one of the best of the season. Although saddened with pangs of defeat, HHS students and alumni brought the evening’s festivities to a close with dancing to the music of the Rock ’n Soul Aggregation. $ ,V “B-R-R-R”...official explains rules of the game. 37 Dutch Countryside Scene of 1967 FASTER, FASTER!...Guests watched hungrily as Dutch- men served tempting morsels.

Sixteen waiters and waitresses donned loosely gathered garments and clopping wooden shoes to serve the banquet. As emcee, Junior class president John Ellerton welcomed the guests and the program began. A girls’ sextette sang “In an Old Dutch Garden.” Mr. Robert Johnson was guest speaker and Jerry Torgerson injected humor with a few selected jokes. Following the banquet, girls and boys emerged from the three dimensional windmill on stage, down stone steps and proceeded in the grand march tradition. The evening’s music was pro- vided by Steve Ellis and the Starfires. Guests were treated to an early breakfast before viewing the movie “The Yellow Rolls- Royce” which climaxed the evening’s festivities. WATCH THAT STEP...Marchers move from a giant windmill to the tulip-lined path and stairway. JUST KEEP MOVING!.. .Couples wound their way through human bridges to appear on the dance floor at long last. 39 Cheering throngs and quiet disappointment, each adds to the athlete’s being. But even in team sports, it is the individual participant standing alone, trying to master himself and be the conqueror of his limitations, which and the laurels of triumph are his, there are always higher goals and new achievements for which to strive. The fear, pain, and defeat that might be experienced along the way seem to fade in the knowledge that new honors and victories are within reach. Even in what seems to be defeat, strides have been taken forward, that lead to the fulfillment of a more important goal . . . the knowledge that an attempt was made. There is never defeat for the participant who has put forth his best. Athletics Inexperience, Injuries Crucial The Pirates had 15 returning lettermen but were hampered by a small line, and a general lack of experience. Hoping that last year’s season could be matched, the fans were apprehensive as the first game of the season drew near. It was hoped that long hours of practice and drilling would pay off for the optimistic gridsters. The opening game of the season was against Doland and the Pirates suffered a disappointing 13-0 loss. Nervousness from lack of experience proved to be the main reason for defeat. De- fensively the Pirates were outstanding as they stopped the Wheelers twice within 15 yards of paydirt. Revenge for this defeat came as the Pirates handed Stephan a 19-6 loss. By skillfully hitting fifty percent of their passes for 110 yards the Pirate quarterbacks, Jan Busse, David Sjilett- stoesser, and Bob Kusser, enabled the offensive to move fluently throughout the game. Senior end Roger Campbell snagged five passes good for 77 yards for a fine individual performance. “The team played a really outstandingdefensivegame,’’ quoted Coach Donovan on the team’s first home game, “everyone did their job and showed fine team spirit.’’ With new optimism and confidence the Pirates journeyed to Miller for their next game. A crushing blow to their hopes came as the Miller Rustlers gave Highmore a 46-0 drubbing in revenge for last year’s defeat. The fired-up Rustlers started off with a bang as they took their first play from scrimmage for a touchdown. Still suffering from shock the Pirates were never able to get back into the ball game as Miller kept up this torrid pace for the rest of the game. Senior aces Roger Campbell and Allan Weidenbach received injuries during this game which kept them out of grid- iron action for the rest of the season. Defeat was in store for the Pirates as they traveled to Faulkton. The larger Trojans con- trolled the game and ended with a 40-7 victory. The only Highmore touchdown was scored when David Splettstoesser grabbed a Faulkton handoff and streaked 65 yards to paydirt. Junior halfback, Roger Hanson, played his finest game of the season as he gained 95 yards on the ground. Loss of senior fullback Jim Durfee during tills game because of a broken ankle hampered the Pirates for the remainder of the season. Football For Pirates The next team that the injury-riddled Pirates faced was the tough Wessington Springs team. These 1966 Central Conference Champions romped over the Highmore gridsters in a 32-0 victory. Although the game was quite lopsided, the Pirates held them to only one touchdown in the second half. The credit for this went to line- backer Dean DeGooyer who turned in a total of 22 tackles in fine defensive play. The annual Homecoming game was played on a night of high winds and freezing temperatures. The improving Pirates held the highly rated Gettysburg Battlers to a 27-7 score. Heading the defensive department for Highmore was Jim Oehlerking with eleven tackles. The Pirates closed the 1966 football season by dropping a 26-20 thriller to Ft. Pierre. Scoring touchdowns for the Pirates were Roger Hanson— two and Jan Busse—one. With 150 yards to his credit, Roger Hanson was also the Pirates leading ground gainer. The defensive department was headed by Dean DeGooyer with 16 tackles. The Pirates finished this rebuilding year with a 1-6 record, and the 1967 season appears promising. VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD.

Faithful Fans Many a disappointed sigh accompanied cheers in the 1966-1967 football season as the buccaneers sank slowly in losing streaks. But even though the Pirates suffered through a losing season they were never let down by their coach or faithful fans. Through their constant support the students showed that victory needn’t be the sole reason for backing a spunky team. Coach Donovan kept the Pirates in good team spirit too as he developed many of the underclassmen by giving them valuable game experience and by playing many of the upperclassmen. “GET HIM.

B’s Display Desire to Win The Highmore junior gridsters displayed a great desire to win, ending the season with a 2-3 win-loss record over their much larger opponents. Coached by George Bouska, the B’s learned many of the fundamentals and tech- nicalities of football which will help them when they advance to the ranks of the varsity team. The season started out on a sour note for the B’s, as they were defeated 23-0 by Wessington Springs. In their second encounter the Junior gridsters bounced back to defeat Stephan 12-7. A scrappy Chamberlain team then downed the juniors 28-0, and during their third game the Pirates again faced defeat as they traveled to Pierre where they were edged out 13-6.

Losing Season Tests Sportsmanship The Highmore Pirate cagers, under the super- vision of Coach Russel Monroe, fought their way through a losing season finding themselves opposed to teams of greater size and experience. The Pirates surprised fans many times with their determination and scrappy desire for victory. The Pirates met the 1966-67 season with only four returning lettermen.

For many it was a pre-requisite for basketball participation. Competition for the cross-countrymen consisted of two duels with Stephan, both of which were won by the Pirates, third place honors in the Central Conference meet in Miller, and participation in the Huron and State meets. Five lettermen ran the 2.2 mile course this year under direction of Coach Russ Monroe. They were J. Kass, J. Dittman. J. Howe, J. Faulstich, and G. Lusk. Linksters Second in Conference The Pirate golfing team in their second season of competition showed great achieve- ment by placing second in the Central Con- ference Tournament. The tournament was lost by only one stroke. Medalists for the Pirates were Dean DeGooyer and Ward Cline, who placed second and fifth respectively. GOLF TEAM: H. Dun- can, W. Cline, B. Stephenson, D.

Highmore Pirate tracksters, coached by Russel Monroe and Richard Donovan put forth an intense effort throughout the entire 1967 schedule. The will to win and the desire to prove themselves led the Pirates triumphantly through the season. The high point of the season came for the Pirates when they captured the title for the Little Central Athletic Conference track meet. The Pirates won the LCAC with 83 1 2 points. It was the first time Highmore had won the LCAC track meet in several years. Jim Faulstich led the Pirates to me LCAC crown by placing first in both the mile run and the 880-yard run. Senior Joel Boschee placed second in pole vault competition setting a new 10 foot 7 inch school record. Jim Durfee was the only competitor who earned a berth in the State Meet.

Money was attained for this program by holding a grade basketball tournament. Members of the H Club aided by coaches Donovan and Monroe poured concrete for the broad jump, high jump runways, and a shot-put ring. With the improved track field the Pirates were able to hold three invitational track meets.

The Varsity cheerleaders had been elected at the end of the 1965-66 school year. When classes commenced this fall, the junior varsity members were chosen. The eight girlsjjresided over football and basketball games, and roused team spirit during pep meetings. Third place honors were won by the varsity cheerleaders as they competed at Stephan January 28. The resulting trophy was the first « «C ever won b Highmore squad. The girls learned several new motions, cheers, and ways to increase student participation in cheers. Cheerleaders Fan Lagging Spirits 60 Janell LaFortune Enters Contests Clipping, signing, tabulating and mailing ballots kept HHS students busy in hopes that their entrant in the Daily Plainsman’s Prettiest Cheerleader Contest would place first. Head cheerleader. Janell LaFortune, was chosen to compete in the area contest. Janell, who has cheered her way through four consecutive athletic seasons, had the distinction of representing Highmore in the 1966 contest also. Last minute scavanging by ballot searchers proved successful and the mailing deadline was met. A week later it was announced that Janell had faired seventh in the contest.

T+re rej fhere for the same reasons-to learn and to understand. Perhaps those trig problems and scientific names don’t seem relevant to the immediate worldjfrt-ftrst-. ut with guidance and use of his ability, the student is acquiring new know . Jedge and learning how to apply this knowledge to his own life. The world of academics is challenging and defies iso- lation. It affects all aspects of the student’s life and is the preparation for his role to come in future years. Academics Administration Authority-an ominous word to some but without it the school would be total chaos. It comes in many forms-the School Board, the Student Council, the Superintendent, the Principal. But it is only workable through understanding, co-operation, and respect on both the students’ and Administration s part. Only then is unity found within the school.

Board, Council Share Responsibility Through the years it has been discovered that a council composed of student representatives helps to strengthen the union between Nee students and « administrators. Besides building and strengthening enthusiasm the Student Council has taken an active part in numerous “behind the scenes” duties. Decorating for the Christmas season, sponsoring a Christmas program, and selling stamps to the grade school children took up much of the council’s time. This year the council completely renovated an outdated honor point system. A major accomplish- ment for the representatives came when they were informed that 97% of the student body had voted in favor of sponsoring a foreign exchange student. The student body and its council with the aid of the local Kiwanis Clubjwill sponsor the student during the 1967-68 school term. COUNCIL HEADS...

Even after the meeting of these demands Mr. Brecht found time in his after school hours to enjoy regular attendance at basketball games, football games, and also to hunt. fish, golf, and bowl. 66 Unlimited Energy Secretarial Asset A requirement for all HHS secretaries is an unlimited supply of energy. Educational secretary, Mrs. Evelyn Stoley, and the superintendent’s secretary. Mrs. Dolores Matre displayed vigor as well as grace as they carried out their never-ending list of duties without complaint. Students encountered Mrs. Stoley in the principal’s office where she was kept constantly busy compiling records, collecting make-up slips, and writing out those dreaded report cards. Mrs. Matre could be contacted in the superintendent’s office where she filed the financial records, answered the phone, and greeted visitors. Daily duties also included sharing the task of dil- igently punching lunch tickets in the lunchroom. Principal Earns St udent Respect Acting as a student supervisor, adviser and instructor. Principal Bernard J. Stepina kept in close contact with the needs and behavior of the students. His enthusiastic efforts merited praise awf thanks as he earnestly enforced the newT£- acquired high school dress code. Acting as adviser for the student council. Mr. Stepina encouraged the council to reform the high school’s honor-point system and on numerous occasions he was called upon to provide change for council’s stamp-selling project. Mr. Stepina also advised the reinstated National Honor Society and directed the one-act play, a new feature in the high school’s extracur- ricular activities. Mr. Stepina applied his teaching talents in psychology, economics, typing II and sec- retarial office practice classes. Having resigned his duties as principal at HHS, Mr. Stepina accepted a similar position at Lake Andes. South Dakota. 67 Faculty With the inquiring minds of students, the teacher is faced with the challenge of teaching the intricacies of life. Not only to guide the studies of the students but to instill in him a lifetime thirst of knowledge -- this is the teacher’s hope as he confronts the world of education through the student’s eyes.

Dedication, a Must Through the eyes of the student a teacher appears as an advisor, a strict rule enforcer, a trusted confident, an invincible problem solver and a friend. Ultimately, it is the teacher who is the deciding factor on whether the student enjoys the class and is encouraged, or whether he is bored and discouraged. It is easy to see that teaching is a difficult job: therefore, a truly dedicated educator must possess the highest quali- ties that can be found in the human being. A teacher must have high standards with a definite objective, perseverance to carry out his goal and the want and ability to give of himself.

For the accomplishments of any organization are only the results of the achievements of its individuals. And no matter how small this achievement may seem by itself, it is important and needed. Even in a world of clicking computers and scurrying masses, the individual cannot be forgotten. 75 Individuals Honors and Awards For one brief moment the glory is his, and all pain, work, and defeat that preceded it are forgotten.

With Honor LARRY HAMLIN SANDRA COLEMAN BARBARA STOLEY 88 With Honor ROGER CAMPBELL JAMES KASS VERN STIRLING Class Earns Reputation for Scholarship Top grades have never been easy goals: they are earned only because of a student’s steady determination to do better and eventually to succeed. This means sacrificing not once but many times—a date, a favorite book, a special show. Yet in the end the sacrifices are rewarded —a smile of a proud parent or friend as the gold graduation cords, signifying “With Honor,” are slipped around the neck of the true scholar: the joy of knowing that he has worked just a little bit more than others and that the benefits of his diligence are more than just material Jies such as gold cords. There is lasting know - dge of material learned plus a reassuring knowledge that he is capable of doing—and having—the very best in life. There are three groups of HHS honor graduates: With Highest Honor, With High Honor, and With Honor. In 1967 fifteen students were graduated in one of these categories. Two of the studious seniors were graduated With Highest Honor— 3.75 to 4.0 grade point averages. Four had 3.50 to 3.74 averages—With High Honor—and nine compiled 3.15 to 3.49 grade point averages.

And they did. Together they disrupted study halls, groaned JOEL BOSCHEE SHARON BARNETT CURTIS BECK MICKELYN BONDY Exciting at detention slips, completed senior projects and papers, and crammed for finals. They danced together, sang together, worked together, and thought together. They went to teenhops and coronations and banquets and skip days. Each day offered new memories. And at the end of it all they looked at each other—and smiled—and knew it had been worth it. 1966-67 was a very good year.

When May arrived, seniors discussed the merits of flowers, colors and motto until they had selected the ones “just right” for their class. The white rose, white and turquoise colors, and “Take the world as you find it, but leave it better” were final- ly chosen.

There’s a feeling of twelve long years of rigorous schooling be- hind you, of closed textbooks and completed courses. But there is another sensation, too, one you’ve never experienced to quite the same degree before. It’s a nostalgic feeling, one that just doesn’t seem to go away as your footsteps echo down the familiar but empty halls and your mind recalls old friends and acquaintances and the good times you had with them. You suddenly realize what a unique relationship the past four years have been—you and 250 other students working side by side with faculty and adminis- tration—working—and quarrel- ing—and laughing—and won- dering—together. Nothing will ever be quite the same again—as you go through life there will be new paths to trod, new peaks to conquer, new faces to greet. But just once in a while something—a faded prom corsage...a tattered letter jacket...a yearbook, will remind you of former friends, former classrooms—and the former you. 97 A Senior Is a Blend of Solemnity Spring activities kept seniors constantly on the go. Spending an evening in the Dutch countryside seniors were guests at the annual Junior- Senior Banquet and Prom. A new event in the history of HHS, an official skip day. was initiated by the fun-loving 1967 graduating class. The trip to Minneapolis was financedby the remaining money from their junior prom fund which had been earned by selling magazines. The entire class was hosted at the Methodist church for the annual Senior breakfast. They rehearsed baccalaureate and graduation and nervously a- waited the awarding of diplomas.

They left the institution which had dominated so many of their short lives with mixed feelings. But all faced the future years with optimism and the challenge of fulfilling their dreams.

After a tour of the capitol and state museum the class climbed aboard the newly acquired school bus and traveled to the Oahe Reservoir power house for a grand style tour of the control station and generator rooms. Following this excursion, the foot-weary group headed homeward. SENATE SESSION...class of 1967 visited crowded legislature. RELAXING...tired feet after a busy day in the Capitol City.

The two day skip trip, using the bus and four cars, took the seniors on a 600 mile jaunt which lasted from 3:30 on the morning of May 12 to the early morning hours of May 14. The class toured the Minneapolis airport, saw “Grand Prix” at the Cooper Cinerama theater, went to Southdale shopping center, a Twins’ ball game at Metropolitan Stadium and climaxed the trip with a visit to Excelsior Amusement Park. It was a worn-out. but happy group that returned home. The class and chaperons stayed at the Guest House Motel in downtown Minneapolis on Friday night. An overnight skip day is a new occurrence at HHS. NEEDED NAP...seniors soon found that they could sleep in any position. READY FOR TAKE OFF...seniors toured Minneapolis Airport. HEY!

Hercules (Curt Beck) and Wilbur (Jim Kass), visiting at Uncle Bob’s (Mick Lusk) and Aunt Mary’s (Sharon Remmick), aren’t exactly thrilled to discover that Uncle Bob is a mortician: Wilbur is persuaded to stay only because of pretty Celeste (Sandi Coleman) and her pesky sister Frankie (Ramona Jacobsen). The plot thickens as Mr. Quigley (Joel Boschee), who is supposedly dead, searches for his would- be poisoner: instead he finds a girlfriend, Granny (Lexie Cowan). Because the boys suspect Madeline Quigley (LaVaughn McGirr) and Mr. Quigley’s lawyer, Harry Shuster (Larry Hamlin), they take the real villain, Dr. Brown (Jan Busse) into their confidence. Frankie foils Dr. Brown’s plans by switching aspirin for poison pills and eventually Brown is captured. Only dejected Frankie misses out on a romantic ending. Nina (Alice Volek), Daphne the maid (Millie Schock), the hilarious Claude the Caretaker (Dan Bouzek) and the helper (Roger Campbell) rounded out the cast. Y1PEI...Mortuary atmosphere frightens Hercules and Wilbur. FINAL TOUCH...applied before the curtain rises. POISON?? HAH!!...Frankie saves the day. 105 HHS Alumnus Gives Address “An education is more than just what is learned in school” professed HHS alumnus Mr. Robert Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins teaches at Hotchkiss school in Connecticut and has authored several books, one of which was selected by the National Library Committee as a best book of the year in 1966. Father Joseph Anderson had delivered the sermon at the previous Baccalaureate service, Sunday, May 21, suggesting the seniors give as much thought to the spiritual aspect of life as they do to the materialistic things in life.

Largest in History Seniors excitedly donned gray gowns and mortarboards, positioned their red and white tassels, pinned on their white roses and waited in eager anticipation of graduation exercises, May 26. Led by gold corders, the class of ’67, the largest class in HHS history, solemnly marched through the auditorium to strains of “Pomp and Circumstance.” As his name was called, each senior strode for- ward and received his diploma. When the signal was given the entire class simultaneously changed their tassels from left to right...the final separation from teenhops and study halls had been made. Among the 56 seniors was the 1500th graduate from HHS, Jim DIttman, who was given special recognition. Graduates formed a receiving line to accept well wishes from family and friends and later danced to the music of “Steve Ellis and the Starfires” as guests at the annual alumni dance. NOW IS THE HOUR ., .with tassels changed from left to right the class of 1967 sang traditional sentimental melody. 107 Juniors In a world of incontestable hopes and ideals, the student starts his junior year. But as this year progresses, he finds that hopes and ideals do change-just as he has in such a short period of time. Maturity is becoming a re - alitv. and with it comes new responsibilities.

Tulips Bloom in The 1966-67 junior class continued their tradi- tion of having the largest class. Their large number only increased their ambition and enthusiasm. With hopeful optimism 65 juniors became persuasive salesmen. Money for the prom was accumulated through the selling of magazine sub- scriptions and the managing of football and basket- ball concessions. Their coffers were beginning to fill up. “One of the best junior plays ever!” was the comment most often heard as the juniors showed their talents in the field of play production. The casting and directing talents of Mr. Peter Time for Prom Werenicz were evident in the three-act family comedy entitled “Angell Brats.” By artfully placing hands in conspicuous view, juniors subtly but proudly displayed their newly acquired class rings for envious underclassmen and admiring seniors. Churning windmills and tulips everywhere was the May scene that greeted seniors as they entered the world of a “Tulip Festival” at the juniors’ request. The enchanted evening of banqueting and reveling provided many unfor- gettable memories at the annual Junior-Senior Prom.

Every member of the Angell family had a different prospect to answer their father’s problem of how to select a wife and thereby inherit a fortune through a rich uncle’s will. The children all bring a likely guest for their father, and their wallflower Cousin Ruth (Julie Rezac) to approve as a prospective wife. SKULL CAP...provides Just the right effect. These antics earn the children the title “The Angell Brats.” Meanwhile to add to the humor of the situation. Grandma (Ginger Kutz) arrives and proves to be a real swinger entering a second childhood with Uncle Az (Richard Odegaard). For a grand finale. Cousin Ruth makes a “Cinderella” change, elopes with the head of the family, disciplines the “brats” and collects the inheritance money all in one day. Directed by Mr. Peter Werenicz, the lengthy three-act play was hilarious. HAPPY ENDING...The “brats” end up with a new grandfather as well as a new mother. PLAY CAST. SITTING: J. Eckstein. I).

As the 64 high-spirited scholars de- cended | _upon the school, their reputation for academic achievements went untarnished. The world of biology took them through the countryside in search of insects and leaves and into lab for dissections and studies. Whether looking through microscopes or trying to duplicate their specimens on paper, these new scientists were constantly busy with biological observations. The annual sophomore class debate tourna- ment this year was neck and neck all the way and tension was mounting with each debate. Using the double elimination system, the winners were finally decided. Trying to translate new German passages, pecking at typewriters, understanding world history or proving geometric theorems all kept the sophomores' schedule active.

For the first few days, they were tormented by upperclassmen and laughed at for their innocent blunders. But soon they were orientated and seemingly lost classrooms were miraculously discovered. The daily challenges provided by English, science, algebra, and home ec., shop, German, or typing were eventually conquered. This year’s freshmen have established themselves as promising students in the school’s history. K KKSHMAN I. K ADK US.. .counc i I member. Ginny Johnson: president.
