1968 HISODAK HIGHMORE HIGH SCHOOL HIGHMORE, SOUTH DAKOTA In a school there are many separate parts, each part working toward fulfillment of a goal. Accom- plishments arc made because of these individual ef- forts. Coupled with this, however, is the unity formed by the merging of individual efforts toward the final goal ... the best possible education for each student. W ithin the pages of the 1967-1968 Hisodak. we have tried to portray the interdependence of the ad- ministration. the faculty, ami the students. We have attempted to represent our school from the stand- point of the individual while picturing the unity that has prevailed. Shirley Kusser.

These may be forgotten or they may be seen in a different light in later years. Perhaps, then, this yearbook may serve as an incentive to remember what it was like when you were in high school.

In his strivings to gain knowledge, to participate, and to attain honors, the individual student is the basic component of school functions. The talent and ideas that he contributes to the school are what makes the institution worthwhile individually and collectively. Achievements and Events During his high school years, the student has many opportunities to express his ideas and display his talents. The results are seen in the special honors and events that reflect the students’ abilities. VCHIEN KMENTS RE NOT l.

Tin eml of the school year brought a full schedule of hectic activities. One of the busiest events was Awards Night, as outstanding students were rewarded for their exceptional scholastic, leader- ship. and extracurricular work. A highlight of the events was spec ial awards given by the Board of Education to Mrs. Louise Swanson. Mrs. Walter Brin , and Mrs. Iva Wort man for their educational contributions. Mrs. Swan- son and Mrs. Brin have served many years at Highmore inspiring young peo- ple to learn. Serving as chief aide in staging all the many varied school activ- ities is Mrs. Wort man.

To the sixty-three seniors, however, the new school year had a special meaning —it was t«� be their last at HI IS. They hoped t« make it their most cherished year � f high school. The year went by quickly for them. It was a time of teenhops and proms, cramming for tests and de- tention slips. No other class moved so nonchalantly through the year as the seniors, win� had three years of previous experience, «lid. There were als � special honors and responsibili- ties for the graduating «-lass. College Days, the an- nual Skip Day trip t«� Minneapolis, college entrance examinations, private guidance counselling, senior breakfast ... all were special activities of the seniors.

Reverend Lyman Kern challenged the seniors t« appreciate the opportunities placed before them dur- ing their life times. “The world doesn't owe you a liv- ing. just the opportunity to achieve, was a major point made in his speech entitled “ hat is your number? Mr. I).I). Miller. Superintendent of schools at Reverend Lyman Kern Watertown, delivered the commencement address. His speech was centered around the seniors’ motto “Knowledge Comes. But Wisdom Ungers. The question put forth in the title of his speech was “Do you believe in magic? The answer that Mr. Miller had discovered and hoped that the graduating class would also discover, was that education was tin only kind of magic that was needed. A person only needed to conquer himself. Mr. D.D. Miller 38 Seniors POMI� l CIRCUMSTANCE ... was played by ihf band t« usher in tin sixty- three senior� .

To assure others they were truly juniors, the classmates proudly wore their new class rings which were in a new oval shape.

After long hours of polishing, the new thespians presented “A Boy Named Beu- lah. a three-act comedy, on November 17 and 18. The play centered around the conflicts of a young boy named Corky, played by Chuck Henson, who schemed with his girlfriend. Polly, played by Ann Odegaard. to raise money for the improvement of Happy Haven Health Farm. Hilarious develop- ments arose from Corky's masquerade as a girl in order to keep the farm, a lady wrestler who was Cor- ky's look-alike, and his pending marriage to a boy from England. The antics of quack doctors and a genuine leopard man were finishing touches to the comedy. 49 Sophomores The future for the sophomore is limited in his view to two more years of high school. His scope is limited to a circle of friends, teachers, and classrooms. He is no longer the novice, but not yet the master. OKI.I) OF 1)ISSK( TIOYS ... mi iron tided sophomore John Blair.

The high school routine was familiar as they settled down to a world of dissections, debate, verb conjugations, ami typewriters. Prominent among their activities for sixteen sophomores was the honor of being chosen by tin- ju- nior class to serve as waiters and waitresses at the Junior-Senior Prom. The year ended, and with it came the promise of new status for the sophomore class, in three months they would be upperclass- men looking down on another class of sophomores.

Kven the traditional initiation could not dampen the freshmen enthusiasm for their new environ- ment— high school. They quickly adjusted to having six hours of their daily life controlled hy the ringing of hells, eagerly squirming their way through jammed halls and learning quickly from their upperclassmen the subtle art of concealing candy, notes and all the other various things they are not supposed to possess, hut usually do. The freshmen’s daily routine included three required courses and one or two electives. They were quickly absorbed into the system of higher learning as they ardently joined in extracurricular and scholastic activities.

He may be a faculty member in the role of instructing the student, or he may be part of the administration who co-ordinates the system. He may be one of the many assistants in the school who insures its efficient operation. The educator has the vital role of fulfilling the goal of a high school - providing education. Administration and Assistants For the successful functioning of a school, hours of work and dedication must come from the administrators and assistants in various departments. Whether it he conducting business, meeting the public, or cooking meals . these are the people whose efforts keep the school running. SCHOOL BOARD . . Don Main , rchie Brecht. Mark Durfce. II.P.

TO THE STUDENT: The 1967-1968 school year is now history ... a memory. In this brief message to you, we should like to say that we hope this school, this faculty, and each relationship that you have shared with us and with each other will help you in some way to meet the challenge of life. It will be well for you to remember that the ambition of youth is the fuel for adulthood, and that in every truly successful life there is no such word as Failure. Sincerely yours, A.E. Brecht. Superintendent R.A. Huber. Principal PRINCIPAL HI BER ... kept track of student activities and af- fairs. 61 Secretaries Play Vital Roles Tlir job of rdurational secretary to Mr. Huber, formerly held by Mrs. Loren Stoley, was taken over at mid-year by Mrs. Hills. She was kept busy keeping track of students permanent records, typing exami- nations for teachers, selling lunch tickets, and run- ning errands. There was little spare time in her schedule. Mrs. Matre completed her second full year as secretary in Mr. Brecht's office. Her duties involved tabulating the financial affairs, filling out reports and conducting correspondence for the school. Assisting Mrs. Matre, was senior. Judy Oehlerking. who took charge of the office for an hour every day while Mrs. Matre punched lunch tickets at the lunch room. EFFICIENT SECRETARIES ... Iik«- Mr . Mill and Mr-. Matre were essential for the successful functioning of tin- chool. Student Secretary ABLE ASSISTANT ... was Judy Oehlcrk- ing. Her daily assistance to Mrs. Matre provided her with practical experience at the same time. 62 Janitor JACK OF M.L I K DhS ... nickname for Don iMItNiyrr. (Completing his fourth year at Highmore was cus- todian Don DeGooyer. known to some as “jack of all trades and master of the mop. His tasks were varied, time-consuming and ex- hausting. but he always found time for a smile. Sweeping the floors, scrubbing blackboards, main- taining equipment and washrooms, taking care of the lunchroom's laundry ... the list seemed endless. A nine-to-five schedule certainly wasn't for the janitor. Hours stretched from 6:45 a.m. to approxi- mately 6:00 p.m. Summer vacation was also little but a dream, as vacation days found Mr. DeGooyer strug- gling with summer cleaning ami revamping of school facilities. Assisting Mr. DeGooyer in the grade school and junior high was Mrs. Hank Sanderson. Cooks Ability to do hard work, put up with long hours, and maintain their patience were must characteris- tics for lunch room cooks. Mrs. Parker. Mrs. La Purge and Mrs. Grable. Long hours of careful planning and preparation, often starting at 5:00 a.m.. went into ev- ery meal. Assisting the cooks during the year were Pauline Taylor, Frances Taylor. Mary Buchheim. Shirley Buchheim. Skyla Hat .laff and Karol Branine. Their work mainly consisted of washing dishes and running the milk machine. Assistants Put in Long Hours ... characterize a cook’s 63 LONG HOURS job.

Students seldom see the school day as the teacher does. To faculty members the day's activities involved calculating grades, making attd correcting tests, preparing lessons, filling out attendance reports and handing in lesson plans for the coming week. Along with these tiresome tasks, however, came the reward of working with receptive minds. With the hope of instilling a desire to learn, teachers were will- ing to put in the long necessary hours. The discour- agement they felt at times was never quite strong enough to dim their dedication. “Changing Schools for Changing Times’ was the theme for the spring Central Conference Teachers' Meeting hosted by Highmore. A total of 230 teachers from Chamberlain. Faulkton. Gettysburg, Miller. Wessington Springs, and Highmore were represented. Hie Central Conference Teachers' Meeting is held twice a year and alternated between the six towns. The evening's events included a banquet at the Hyde County Memorial Auditorium and singing hv the HHS Triple Trio. Panel groups were arranged by the Central Education Planning Center to discuss modular scheduling and other innovations. The teach- ers then divided into their own interest groups. 68 Improvements «luring tin sum- mer months resulted in two new offices for tin coaches and guid- ance counselor. Ruth Moriarty, county nurse, used the coach off- ice when she made her periodic visits to the school. The students also benefited from the changes as they got a much-needed new locker room.

Only through unity can there be understanding of self and associates. This interdependence is perhaps the best type of education that a high school can provide - the knowledge that people need other people. Organizations Much can be learned from the textbooks, but there is much to be gained by participation outside the classroom. The many extra-curricular activities and organizations provide opportunities for lessons in leadership and co-operation. NOT yi ITK RE m — for their picture to be snapped was the twirling group. Pirate Journal Keeps Students Informed Despite last minute additions, revisions, de- linquent stories and sometimes the scarcity of printable news, the Pirate Journal staff put out their weekly paper covering the school's activi- ties. Proofreading and writing stories, that others somehow just couldn't find time to do, were all part of the responsibility of the editors. Striving for another All-State honor, the staff came up with many original ideas. Highlights of this year's paper included opinion polls, a mock election of presidential, senatorial and guberna- torial candidates, open-forum letters and student written editorials. Undertaking the task of co-ordinating all the news, were editors Lucinda Zilverberg. Harley Duncan; assistant editors were Ann Odegaard and Steven Bortness. Learning all tin- intricacies of the trade were sophomores Janet Zilverberg and Sally Jo Husband. Journalism advisor, l.yda Aaron, assisted and guided the students. PHOTOGRAPHERS ... Harlry Duncan.

Gary Myers an l Karol Branine created the annual. In tlu preparation of the year- book every year, the staff is con- fronted with a different set of problems to overcome, new ideas to portray, and original ideas to discover. From a seemingly hope- less assortment of material, it was their task to create a memorable book that fellow students would take pride in for years to come. Also involved was the financing of this endeavor by the selling of ads to local and surrounding business- men. The project of planning the yearbook fell upon Editor Shirley Kusser. She was helped by Assis- tant Editors Lois Harter and Kay McGirr. Also assisting were three sophomore apprentices: Karol Branine, Susan McDermott, and Gary Myers. Although deadlines inevitably came too soon, the yearbook fi- nally was completed, and an awe- some burden was lifted from the shoulders of the harried staff.

Those winning were Kay McGirr. humorous; Lucinda Zilverberg. dramatic; Steven Bortness. ora- tory; and Ann Odegaard. poetry. Kay McGirr and Lucinda Zilver- berg both received superior ratings at the district. “The Show Must Go On and On and On” was the title of Kay’s humorous selection, while Lucinda won with her most dramatic interpretation of “The Tell-Tale Heart. At division. Kay and Lucinda both received excel- lent ratings. Ann and Steve had received excellents at district. These ratings helped Highmore to win the district trophy.

But for Coach Don Durfee’s de- bate squad it was crucial. Gaining valuable experience, tin “B team had a successful year. The varsity won seventy percent of their encounters and participated in the state tournament. They won this honor after going through Di- vision IV with no losses. Cross-examination debate, in- stead of traditional, was a new fea- ture of the Central Forensic Con- ference debate tournaments. After three meets, Highmore missed winning the Sweepstakes by seven points. At the Division IV. Jerry Torger- son won first in men's extemp, and Lois Harter placed first in ori- ginal oratory, in the State Tourna- ment Jerry continued his winning ways with another first. Lois got a third.

In competition the band received a “good” rating and many helpful hints for the next year. Highmore was also well represented with individ- ual and group musicians at Aberdeen. The talented players and singers from the chorus groups brought home ten firsts. This year, senior Mary Parker became the first Highmore student to be chosen for All-State Band. After a musical audition, Mary was singled out to play third chair alto sax in a section of six musicians. The 18th annual concert. March 23 and 24. in Aber- deen was composed of 160 band members from 70 high schools. Mary also received the Arion award which is given to a senior who is planning to major in music in college.

The girls chorus received a superior rating, while the boys chorus and mixed chorus earned an excellent. Soloists selected in local elimination entered Region IV competition. Other travelings led the chorus groups to Pierre lor a vocal music festival with six area schools. A new feature this year was the assistance of guest director. Scott Dexter, from the Central Dakota Plains Project. Starting in March. Mr. Dexter came once a week to direct and give advice to the appre- ciative mixed chorus. After rugged tryouts, four students were selected to represent Highmore at the All-State Chorus. Many hours of practice were spent before traveling to Aber- deen for the inspiring performance.

Efforts and projects during the year were: a Mothers’ Tea. a basket social for Daddy Date Night, bakesalcs. and talks by authorities ranging from wise spending to morals and manners. A pet project of the thirteen degree workers was writing to orphans at Abbot House. The FHA girls willingly gave their time to pre- sent FHA week. March 30 through April 6. Hours of preparation also went into sponsoring the annual Sweetheart's Ball. Spring brought display night for the industrious workers in conjunction with the shop, art and science departments. The new FHA officers were elected in January, instead of September, with their term expiring in the following January. This plan was instituted to relieve monotony of working an entire school year and to provide more planning opportunities. Kathy Stirling was re-elected to the presidency of the group. HHS sophomore. Cyndi Stirling, was one of three regional FHA officers elected for the year 1968- 1969. She was chosen as region co-chairman. Her duties will be helping to plan and carry through the next regional meeting, and to compile information for the Newsletter. Each candidate for the offices gave a three minute speech entitled “How I Publicize FH A before the 200-member delegation. After lunch and singing, the delegates cast ballots for the incoming officers. The girl who received the most votes was chairman; next highest, co-chairman: and next, secre- tary-treasurer.

Under the title of Girls’ Athletic Association, girls’ basketball once again appeared on the High- more courts. Games were limited to intramural clash- es, and the season was climaxed by an enthusiastic tournament curiously observed by male spectators. Other activities of the 61 members of the GAA included tumbling displays at games and weekly workouts in the gym. Money for the club was ob- tained by the profitable sale of apples at tournament time. These funds were used to purchase girls’ track shoes. The H-Club was composed of boys who had let- tered in sports and the “A” cheerleaders. To fill their coffers, the club sponsored an eighth grade basket- ball tournament in March.

Must Lead Fans No matter what tin- conditions, or individual feel- ings. the cheerleader must put on a happy face, re- main perky, and inspire fans to cheer the team to victory. Eight cheerleaders who fulfilled this need were chosen by the Student Body. In addition to the long hours of practice needed for precision and performance, the girls attended a cheerleading clinic at Brookings, where schools were represented from South Dakota. North Dakota, and Minnesota. In late spring the “A” cheerleaders for the 1968- 1969 year were elected. Those elected were: juniors. Barb Be .ac, Ruth Arends: sophomores, tunny John- son. Sandi Warner. Karen Alger was chosen as alter- nate. Julie Rezac was selected by student vote to be Highmore's prettiest cheerleader for competition in tin Daily Plainsman Prettiest Cheerleader contest for 1968. Four seasons of leading Highmore fans made Julie a well-qualified candidate. Then grade school and high school students started clipping and saving ballots for the Daily Plainsman contest. When the final tabulations were in. Julie had won fifth place. 95 Athletics With the ever-constant hope of victory, the athlete is able to undergo the change of activities with the change of seasons.

Gridsters Have Full Schedule School for football gridsters started early on August 21. with daily practices for the up-coming season. It promised to be a hard one. The Pirates changed to a 9-game slate instead of the seven games played last year. Included in the lineup were two of the toughest Class A teams in the state. Roncalli of Aberdeen and Chamberlain. After last year’s disappointing season the Pirates prepared for the encounters with long hours of hard work and hope. Leading the team were eleven return- ing lettermen. The Pirates ended their season with a 2-7 record. The boys put forth their best efforts and gained needed experience. A 4-2 win-loss record was the result of hard work by the junior gridsters coached by Coaches Jordre and Olson, in their first encounter of the season the fired-up Pirates downed Stephan 26-6. The only two losses were to Wessington Springs. 0-6, and to Miller. 13-18. The gridsters came back to their winning ways as they defeated Chamberlain by a 13-7 score. 'I’he Pirates ended their 1967 season on a triumphant note. First the Fort Pierre squad fell in a 13-6 match, then Pierre in an exciting 7-6 win. Jl NIOR RSITY KW)I BALI. SQl D ... FRONT ROW : R.

Carrie Boiler. Popular Track is fast becoming one of the most popular sports for girls. Many schools are adopting track programs for their girls every year. New regulations were drawn up for the 1968 year by the South Dakota High School Athletic Asso- ciation. Major changes were: no running event should exceed 220 yards; no individual could partici- pate in more than three events in one meet. The main track meet for South Dakota girls was the Amateur Ath- letic Union meet. This annual event with men and women in high school and college divisions drew schools from several neigh- boring states and Canada. 109 ADOLESCENTS The grade school and junior high provide the foundation for life-long attitudes toward the outside world. Each member evolves from the familiar environment of parents and peers to a strange, growing maturity. It is a time to discover the imperfections of our world, to experience new frustrations, but most of all it is a time to be young. Grade School Prepares Students ASSISI ANT CUSTODIAN ...

Recess, school picnics, sports, report cards, friends —they all came at some time of the year. But most important, it was a time to become aware. Tin junior high had an active sports program and cheerleaders. Elected in the seventh grade were Cindy Dalton, Connie Hague. Jeryl Cowman, and Ramona Arendt. Eighth grade cheerleaders were Peggy Rezac, Nancy Hanson, Hatty Henson, and Deborah Dur- fee. HAPPY RECESS HOI PS ... wore enjoyed by enthusiastic grade school children. SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASS ...
