Student Council Makes Changes The Student Council of Highmore High School had a very busy year trying to strength- en the function of the school system. In the fall the Student Council organized and carried out the traditional Pirate Day. To make money they had a car wash and sold fruit at a football game. During the winter to entertain the students they had two movies, The Way We Were and Oliver. The body revised Section 1C of Article V on the recall power of the student association. They passed senior privileges for the last two weeks of school. The council revised the selection of cheerleaders for the upcoming school year. Cheryl Busse keeps busy rinsing cars while Sharon Kroell looks on. 6 Mr. Uken takes a break in his busy schedule as first year superintendent of HHS. Mr. Bezenek finds time to smile even though his duties as principal arc hectic. Members of the school board include, Sitting, Don Mason, Harlan Stoley, Lee Peterson; Standing, Neil Fieldsend, Robert Gadd, Richard Stirling. Not Pictured is Melvin Pfeifer and Carl Durfee. School Board Purchases New Equipment The school board spent many hours and long nights deciding changes and determining board policy. New windows were put in the school, several rural schools had new shingles put on, rural and town schools received new playground equipment, money was loaned to the H-Club to pay for the gym set, new office machines were put in, several new instruments were bought for the band, new refrigerator, stoves and sewing machines were installed in the Home Ec. room, and new miscel- laneous equipment and supplies were put in the PE department. Projects that are in the process of being accomplished are the new track cement curve, Vo-Ag and building pro- grams, more new lockers, new carpet in the counselors office, and re-wiring the upstairs of the high school. 7 Custodians, Cooks and Secretaries Help Out Generally behind the scenes, but ver important was the service staff of High- more High School. Don DeGooyer, head custodian, with his assistants Agnes Goodrich and Jim Johnson in the high school, and Millie Sanderson in the grade school, kept the school and gym in usable shape for the students. Mr. DeGooyer was also re- sponsible for maintaining the rural schools. Geneva Fieldsend assisted Mr. Bezenek in his role as principal while Delores Matre, with the help of student secretary Gail Knodel, aided Superin- tendant Uken. Every school day the five cooks prepared nutritious hot lunches for the high and grade school. Rural schools also received hot lunches, which were prepared in town and transported by the teachers. Seven student helpers assisted the cooks with their duties. Seeing that the students' nutritional needs are met are Helen Durfcy, head cook Olive 8 Parker, Jodie Schwab, Patty Vlcek and Keeping the school buildings neat and clean are Millie Sanderson, Esther Dalton. Don DcGooyer, and Agnes Goodrich. Deb Oligmueller, Deb Smith, Diane Kusser, Linda Brown, Beverly Ratzlaff, Mavis Kuper and Michelle Benson aid the cooks by scraping, washing and drying dishes. 9 Three minutes between classes produce a rush at the lockers for Jim Cowman. Ann Gallagher trudges in at 9:30. School starts at 8:40 Sally Single sleeps through a morning class. Out too late last night, Sally? A plate of food awaits everyone at 12:09. Mr. Pangburn!!! Study halls throughout the day are a time to work, relax and talk to friends. 10 Gerry Kaiser says, Hello food and thanks to the cooks. After school activities find Marile King and Susie Hamlin goofing off. Susie Hamlin, Sue Bonnichsen, Betty Peterson and Ann Gallagher talk away noon hour in the locker room. It's not all fun and games with Mr. Bcrquist. Below, school is out at 3:331 Football games make up part of the night life. Here Today, Gone Tomorrow Trends were very much in evidence at HHS this year. The meaning of the English language was reversed, i.e., it was common to hear the phrase real bad when something was liked and keep doin' it when you wanted something stopped. If something hurt or went wrong, like a sprained ankle or a bad grade, fix me up was the phrase used. Also not at all or or what followed nearly every sentence. Down filled coats, boots, hats of all kinds, and bib overalls were all popular forms of apparel. Girls, tired of their long straight hair, got shorter styled cuts and also went to the curlier look. A general feeling of apathy hampered school spirit. Clubs and organizations didn't do as many things as in the past. Goofing off was popular and many times students were reprimanded for their immature acts. Jim Kusser, Ann Gallagher, Sheila Kutz, and Tim Kusser play bingo at the H-Club carnival. i umv The language students use is reflected all over HHS, even on campaign signs. 12 Karen DeGooyer, with the ever popular scarf on her head, talks to a neighbor in psychology. Activities You haveTo make the good times yourself e the little times make (hem imo big times and save the times that are al ri ght for the ones that aren’t so good. PUSHING THE CLOUDS AWAY, words by Rod McKuen, Copyright c 1967 by Warm Music. Homecoming 1974 Homecoming maintained its high place this year dur- ing the week of September 16-20. This is always a free spirited time of the year when nights are char- acterized by building floats, piling into the back of pick- ups, driving around and honking horns. Once again the Student Council spon- sored Hat Day and Red and White Day. Queen Ann Gallagher and King Wayne Kutz were honored at Thursday's coronation. Musical enter- tainment and a skit com- pleted the program. Fol- lowing the coronation was a pep rally. In honor of Pirate Day only morning classes were attended on Friday. Cloudy, windy weather greeted the parade in the afternoon as it passed through Highmore reflecting the theme, TV Commercials . Fans emerged full-force to the football game in the evening only to see the Pirates fall to Miller, 30-12 Halftime entertainment was provided by the marching band and cheerleaders. As a finale to the annual celebration, a dance was held with music by Tree Frog . Homecoming Royalty includes Sheila Kutr and Everett Clement, Above, and Jean Stoley and Todd Marks, Right. The royal- ty was selected by popular vote of the seniors from the senior class and the final decision for king and queen was made by the student body. As crownbearers, first graders Lisa Parlin and Mark Weiseler com- plete the royal party. Marshal candidates senior Sue Bonnichsen, Junior Robert Hanson, Soph- omore Diane Kusscr and freshman Janet McDonald pause for a picture af- ter giving campaign speeches. 14 As an Art Class project, MaurccnGallaghcrpaints a T. V. commercial on the stage backdrop for the coronation ceremonies. Marshal Sue Bonnichsen and her horse wait for the parade to start. On Hat Day the Home Handicrafts class takes advantage of the nice fall weather by having class outside. 16 The Seniors' float wins 1st place in the Most Beautiful' division.

Carnival Comes to Town The H-Club sponsored their first annual carnival on April 4th. The money raised went towards a new universal gym and an athletic banquet. Raffle tickets were sold on a ten speed bike, quarter of beef and a $25.00 savings bond which were won by Clark Westcott, Dick Hamlin and Clifford Coleman, respec- tively. A cash prize was won by Kelly Whiting for guessing the number of beans in a jar. Booths were constructed of plywood and decorated with crepe paper for games such as the dart throw, coin toss, ball throw and fish pond. Cakes were donated by the students for a cake walk. A jail was set up where you could pay to have your friends locked up. They then had to pay the same amount to be released. The main attraction at the carnival was bingo which was played all night long. Prizes were donated by local business people and students donated green stamp books which were redeemed for other prizes. Inherit the Wind INHERIT THE WIND, written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee was not history. The events which took place in Dayton, Tennessee, during the scorching July of 1925 were clearly the genesis of this play. It had, however, an exodus entirely its own. Only a handful of phrases were taken from the actual transcript of the famous Scopes mon- key trial . Some of the characters of the play were related to the color- ful figures in that battle of giants; but they had life and language of their own—and, therefore, names of their own. Directors of the all school play were Mike Pangburn and Lana Stoltenburg. Different techniques for a set de- sign was created by Lana Stoltenburg. The produc- tion crew included major set construction--David Fieldsend, Kent Field - send, Chris and Jerry Johnson, and Jim Whipple; backstage assistance-- Maryjo Leesman, Brenda Nickelson, Gayle Sampson, Mike Thompson, props-- the cast. Actors Joe Hayes, Jean Stoley and Stephen Porter spend many hours rehearsing lines and stage positions. Barry Ccrmak applies those important last finishing touches to Nicholas Nemec's makeup. Joe Hayes relaxes before his performance as Henry Drummond while Kay Gorgensen of Black Hills State College tints his hair. 18 SPRING PLAY CAST: Front Row: Jim Whipple, Jerome Johnson, Susan Hamlin, Mavis Kupcr, Second Row: Carol Ann Meile, Susan Klebsch, Chris Johnson, Steve Busse, Lorrie Baloun, Jim Johnson, Jean Stoley, Kent Fieldsend, Third Row: Mr. Pangburn, Robin Boiler, David Fieldscnd, Tammy Vilhauer, Ronnie Knodel, Jack Cowman, Lynn Straight, Cindy Thompson, Mike Thompson, Laurie Vilhauer, Terry LaFortunc, Don Kaiser, Terry Peterson, Richard Hubendall, Joe Hayes, Stephen Porter, Todd Marks, Mary Garrigan, Ms. Stoltenburg.

Shadowfax from Sioux Falls provided the background music for the Grand March and the dance following it. The eminent bridge serves as a center of attraction. “We May Never Pass This Way Again” We May Never Pass This Way Again proved to be true as the juniors pre- sented the seniors with their last memorable prom on April 26, 1975. Sixteen sophomore waiters and waitresses served the banquet which began at 6:00 p. m. Kent Fieldsend, Junior Class President, served as Master of Ceremonies. Senior Class President Kevin Garrigan was then introduced and spoke on behalf of the seniors. Miss Fromdahl provided the en- tertainment by singing To Sir With Love and The Way We Were . She was accompanied by Kent Fieldsend. The Grand March began at 8:30 with a closed dance following it. Music was provided by Shadowfax . After the dance the movie, American Graffiti , was shown at the new gym. A breakfast sponsored by Dick and Izzy Hamlin was served at the auditorim following the movie. However, It Pays Off A year of hard work paid off for several stu- dents as they received their awards on Awards Night, May 8. Dave Fieldsend, stu- dent body president, an- nounced next year's class and student council offi- cers. The new student body president, Nick Nemec, then conducted the program. Clarence Busse pre- sented Brenda Myers and Richard Rubendall with the American Legion Award. The senior class will, history and prophecy were all read. The Bausch and Lomb Science Award went to Richard Ruben- dall. Scholarships were given to Jerry Husband, Mavis Kuper, and Richard Rubendall. Other awards were earned in music, journalism, speech, shop, debate, declam, and commercial depart- ments. H-Pin awards were presented to Brenda Myers, Dave Fieldsend, Jean Stoley, Jeff Owens, and Sue Bonnichsen. To end the program, the HHS stage band and cheerleaders performed the school song. Nick Ncmec is chosen as the 1975-76 student body president. Winning awards in music are Suzanne and Carol Meile. 22 In addition to his American Legion and Bausch and Lomb Science awards, Richard Rubcndall receives a scholarship. 23 Brenda Myers earns an H-Pin, music awards, and the American Legion Award. Athletics 24 Food, not awards, is what most people are concerned about now. Athletes Honored at Athletic Banquet Gordon Fosness presents his speech on how you should try your hardest and that winning isn't everything. 25 Athletic awards were given at an athletic banquet held May 1. The H-Club sponsored the affair which was served by the Jaycettes. After the banquet, certificates were awarded to all letterwinners. Trophies for Most Improved Player and Most Valuable Player were given. Mr. Schwab presented the football awards to Jerry Markley for MIP and to Keith DeShazer and John Kennedy for MVP. Tom Markley and Keith DeShazer were named co-captains. For girls' bas- ketball Sherry Gusse was cited as the MIP and Bobbi Hirsch as the MVP. Sue Bonnich- sen and Sherry Gusse were announced as co-captains by Miss Rendall. Mr. Sorenson presented Danny Pekarek with the MIP award and Dave McDonald with the MVP award for wrestling. Co-captains were Dave McDonald and Joe Kennedy. Boys' bas- ketball awards were given by Mr. Bergquist to Jeff Whiting, MIP, and Wayne Kutz, MVP. Keith DeShazer and Wayne Kutz were named co-captains. Guest speaker was Gordon Fosness, head basketball coach at Dakota Wesleyan University. Running-back, Keith DeShazer, dashes to the outside to break the play open.

Junior John Kennedy starts offensively and defensively. John was voted Most Valuable Player and All-State Honorable Mention. Pirates Fight for Victory It was a dissappointing year for the Pirate football squad as they compiled a 2 win, 7 loss record. Although the team was quite inexperienced and lacked re- turning lettermen, Mr. Schwab put to- gether a respectable offensive and de- fensive line. The secondary was made mostly of returning lettermen as was the situation for the offensive backfield. Practices were never too exciting ex- cept for an occasional flair of temper or sudden injury, but always there was an abundance of hard-working athletes. Highmore had two players picked as honorable mention to the All-State Team. Keith DeShazer was selected as a de- fensive cornerback and John Kennedy was chosen as a defensive linebacker. John was one of the few juniors in the state to make the team. The team selected Jerry Markley as the Most Improved Player. Keith De- Shazer and Tom Markley were elected co-captains. Once again Keith and John received a tie vote for Most Valuable Player. Todd Cowan's wide open and has a long ways to go. The opponent, as you can see, has no chance to go very far. Front Row: G.

Behind his blocker, Jim Kusser moves ahead for the first down. Rex Hirsch, a gifted eighth grade athelete breaks through the line. “B” Pirates Gain Experience The primer team, designed to get the boys ready for the tough varsity action, didn’t win a lot of games but had fun. The B team came off the field this year with only one win, being against the Sully Buttes Chargers. A relatively young group consisting of mostly Freshmen and sophomores, they will have nearly everyone returning in the '75-'76 season. The origi- nal B team will be backed up by the grad- uating eighth graders who were undefeated throughout the season. Through the year the team wasn’t plagued by unjury as some of the teams were. They were just lacking the will power to give it all they had. This coming year as one energetic freshman said, All we need to win is to have the will power and we'll make it! Joe Kennedy pushes as far as he can go. Kathy Olson (29), Susie Kutz (27), and Debbie Kusser (12) set it up. B BASKETBALL-Front Row: L. Hirsch, C. McCloud, J. McDonald, G. Williams, D. Kusser, C.

Boiler, S. Hamlin. Girls Prove Ability With 8-3 Season Enthusiasm was high this year as the Pirates put together one of their most successful seasons. Practice started early in the fall and continued into early November when the season was climaxed by an H-Club spon- sored tournament held at Highmore. The Pirates were matched against the only two teams who had defeated them in the regular season. Highmore got by Miller only to have Wessington pull ahead in the final minutes of the championship game to take the much wanted victory from them. Sue Bonnichsen and Sherry Gusse were elected co-captains by vote of their teammates and Bobbi Hirsch was chosen most valuable player. Coach Rhonda Rendall named Sherry Gusse most im- proved player. The B team, composed of freshmen and sophomores only, had an equally suc- cessful year, compiling a 6-3 record. Sandy Stirling, Bobbi Hirsch, Sue Bonnichsen, Sherry Gusse and Michelle Benson wait for the A game to start. Keith DcShazer goes in for a lay-up. Pirates Have Disappointing Season The fighting Pirates fell short of their hopes this year as they established a 7-14 win-loss record. The starting team consisted of a first four, who were Keith DeShazer, Jerry Husband, Wayne Kutz and Jeff Owens, and an alternate fifth man, either David Fieldsend or Jeff Whiting. Jeff Whiting was chosen Most Improved Player by the coaching staff. The Pirates had a quick start in the season, winning seven of their first eleven games. The team voted on their captains and chose seniors Keith De- Shazer and Wayne Kutz to represent them. The teams' best performance was without a doubt the Christmas Tourna- ment. Highmore beat Faulkton the first night in a decisive victory. After defeat- ing Chamberlain, Agar met Highmore in the championship game. Jerry Husband fired up a last second shot to win the game, thus handing Agar their first defeat. Through disappointment and failure no one had any doubts of what goals could have been achieved, only a dif- ferent road to success had to be found. The Pirates discuss their strategy at a time out. Jcny Husband reaches over his op- ponent to pass the ball. “B” Basketball Builds Skills B basket ball, a game to get the underclassmen ready for the varsity competition had a good sea- son winning one half of their games. One of the close games was won by only two points. The game won by the largest margin was against Harrold. It was by 24 points. The team suffered a loss to Agar by just one basket. The five main starters were Terry Myers, Jack Cowman, Barry Cermak, Rob Houdek and Jim Cowman. These five played the regular season, omitting Terry Myers and Jack Cowman in freshmen and sophomore tournaments. Going into the L.C.A.C. tour- nament in Agar, Highmore lost their first game to Sully Buttes and their second game to Agar. The high-point men for the sea- son were Barry Cermak with 224 points and Jack Cowman following with 164 points. I Four-fifths of the Hitchcock team can't stop Ron Hirsch from making two.

Dan Pekarek, Highmore's best scoring wrestler going into the state tournament, has no trouble beating his opponent from Hoven, as he does with the biggest majority of his matches. Wrestling Mike Cadman loosens up before a hard wrestling practice. Varsity wrestling, a sport of individual conflict was good for some and not so good for others. The 1974-75 season was a fairly bad dual season, winning only three dual matches. Tliese three were Selby, Gettysburg, (56-0), and Northwestern, who at the beginning of the year were rated number six in the state. To make up for the year Highmore had some very good individual wres- tlers. As they came out of the dis- trict tournament, four advanced to the regional. These four were Dan Pekerek, Dave McDonald, Joe Kenne- dy, and Mike Cadman. Of these four only two advanced to the state touma - ment, Dan Pekerek and Dave Mc- Donald. Neither placed at the tourna- ment but put forth a great effort. Stretching. . . Jerome Johnson, high point man of his team, goes in for a lay-up.

Under the direction of Miss Rhonda Rendall were forty girls enjoying the game of vollyball. The girls were broken up into four teams and headed by a team captain. They played each other throughout a period of two months. As a closing, a two night tourna- ment was held for championship. The results were first place, Bobbi Hirsch’s team; second place, Jean Stoley's team; third place, Michell Benson’s team, and fourth place, Betty Peterson's. Volleyball was considered a very lively sport by the students of H.H. S. The four intramural teams of Jerome’s Jockey's, Jim's Jumper’s, Garrigan's Gunner’s and Hamlin’s Hopper's played a rather eratic schedule this year under the first. Girl's Track; Front Row: C.

Thirty-one girls were out for track. Due to the bad weather the girls were able to attend only six track meets. They brought home the LCAC and the Central Conference trophies. At the Regional they placed second. Seven girls qualified for the State Meet in Huron May 16 and 17. The seven qualifiers were Robin Boiler and Angela Arendt in the 110 yd. hurdles; Sue Bonnichsen, shot put; Mary Jo Leesman and Kelly Houdek, high jump; and the medley and 440 relays consisting of R. Boiler, A. Arendt, M. Leesman, and C. Weidenbach. Angela also qualified in the long jump. Highmore scored seven points this year from Boiler's second place finish and Sue Bonnichsen's third place finish. The hard work and determination of the girls paid off as they were awarded letters at the Athletic Banquet.

Keith Walton practices with the shot Jeff Whiting reaches for Rob Houdek in a relay hand-off. Freshman Mark Arendt keeps a stride ahead of his opponent. Mark was the only trackster who qualified for the state track meet. Miles Stretch Muscles Whenever someone hears the word track they think of miles and miles of running, pulled muscles and absolutely no fun. Well, part of that is true, there are miles of running and many sore muscles but only the tracksters realize the immense sense of accomplisment experienced by winning a race of field event. The team progressed slowly but sure- ly, turning in many good times for the early season. Freshmen Keith Volek, Rob Houdek and Mark Arendt showed great potential for the coming year. These freshmen also ran on many relay teams and individual events. The coaching staff consisted of head coach Larry Larsen and two assistants, Gordon Bergquist and Doug Quinn. For the first time, Highmore had two girl student managers, being Marile King and Tammy Vilhauer. The Pirates had several relay teams that had a good chance of making it to state, but only one runner qualified. BOYS'TRACK: Front Row: M. Klcbsch, S. Benson, M. Stark, C. Pfeifer, S. Morford, M.

Providing spirit for the wrestling matches are captain Sandy Stirling, Kneeling; Janet McDonald, Diane Kusser, Teresa Oehlerking, and Debbie Kusser, Standing. We’re Loyal to You, Highmore High GO BIG RED! These words are familiar sounds to all sports enthusiasts at HHS. And to fifteen particu- lar girls who were chosen by their classmates to lead school cheers the words carry even more meaning. The cheerleaders' spirit remained high even through a lagging sports year and student apathy. Beginning in the summer for the A's and the fall for the B” and Wrestling cheerleaders, many hours of practice were put into per- fecting cheers and routines. Pep rallies were planned for nearly every week and boards decorated and signs made to boost spirit. In September a cheer- leading clinic at SDSU was attended by the A’s” where they learned new cheers and routines. The A and B cheer- leaders performed with the band in marching competi- tion at Aberdeen, Mitchell, and Huron. The cheerleaders were hostesses to a lunch for the team and their parents on Parent’s Night. Miss Rendall, or Mom , as she was called by the cheerleaders, was their advisor and provided rides for the varsity cheerleaders to out-of-town games and matches. Letters were awarded to varsity cheerleaders this year allowing them to be members of H-Club. Cheerleading Is. . . making the crowd yell... weathering the cold...

For the third con- secutive year Highmore’s yearbook has won an All-State Award. Co-editors of the 1975 Hisodak, Michelle Benson and Brenda Myers, don't want to see that tradition broken. The year starts out with the annual Hisodak signing party. Following that is the selection of sophomore editors and selling ads to finance the yearbook. Every year vows are made to meet all the dead- lines and every year the vows have to be broken. Time creeps by the procrasti- nating staff members until spring when the work load really piles up. It’s rushed and some of the staff must work after school is out but the final deadline is usually met. The Hisodak staff, along with their advisor, Mrs. Jacquelyn Neyharth, worked one or two nights a week. The yearbook gets under way as Brenda Myers, Ross Cables, Mrs. Ncuharth, and Mary Garrigan start planning. 51 JoAnn Morford and Carla Gibson sign books at the Hisodak party. Chem Club, NHS, and Pirate Journal Qualities of leadership, service and character were shown in students chosen by teachers. Signing the register included 12 seniors and 6 juniors. To qualify for National Honor Society a 3.25 grade average had to be held by the student. Early this past fall Chem Club met for organ- izational purposes and elected Richard Rubenda 11 president. In past years the Chem Club has provided students and townspeople with an educating evening by hosting a Science Fair. Due to lack of interest of students and teachers not requiring a project a Fair was not established. The cliche, ’’Few and Richard Rubcndall extends a warm congratulations to Shelia Kutz.

Queen -Janet FHA: Growing Through Change Mrs. Nancy Knippling helped the FHA girls in a very busy year with their many projects. Once again FHA hosted the Sadie Hawkins Dance. The music was provided by Flight on October 25, 1974. In January the Mother’s Tea was given in order to install the new officers. A lunch was pre- pared by the Home Economic stu- dents. FHA Week, February 9-15, was traditionally held. Each day was observed by something differ- ent, such as one day wearing hats, another day your favorite flower and the last day a nice to teacher day. The annual H.H.S. Sweetheart was chosen by majority vote of the students. On March 1, Janet Bonnichsen was crowned queen. Other candidates included Maureen Gallagher, Sheila Kutz and Marile King. Following coronation the dance began with the band Matthew . On March 10, twenty-six girls attended the Regional FHA meeting at Faulkton. There the regional officers were chosen. An important duty of an FHA girl is helping people in the com- munity. This year each girl chose a person at the Nursing Home to be their foster grandparent. They visit and remember them on spec- ial occasion with candy, flowers or cards. 57 The debate squad included From Top to Bottom, Kent Fieldsend, Joe Hayes, Kathy Olson, Mary Garrigan, Robin Boiler, Natalie Nemec, Nick Ncmcc, Sandy LaFurge, Becky Vlcek, Steve Porter, and Mrs. Bczcnek.

For the first time in five years Highmore was represented at the State tournament by junior debators Robin Boiler, Steve Porter, Kent Fieldsend, and Mary Garrigan. Coach Deanna Bezenek took the team through a successful season which included three overnight trips and three Conference contests in which Highmore placed third in overall varsity competition.

The varsity earned 5th place at the Watertown Speech Fiesta with a 8-2 record and took 2nd at the Huron Tourney with a 6-2 win-loss record. Kent Fieldsend’s Oral Interp piece Two From Galilee earned him a 2nd place trophy at the Aberdeen Invitational and extempers Mary Garrigan and Steve Porter earned a berth in the state tourney with a first and second place trophy at Division IV. The young varsity team earned a reputation for HHS as they placed among the top eight teams at the State tournament. 58 Three Qualify for State The declam program enjoyed a very successful season as three of the four local winners went on to compete in the State Declam contest. Under the coaching of Miss Jill Jeffries twelve students worked on their various pieces and the hours of preparation and practice finally paid off for the four talented winners. The local contest was judged by Miss Deb Jeffries. First place in the humorous division went to Lynn Straight and Jeff Owens captured the poetry division. Kent Fieldsend took top honors in dramatics and Joe Hayes won the oratory division. District competition was held in Gettysburg and all four participants earned the right to compete in the Regional contest, which was held in Redfield.

On January 4, a banquet was held at the Plamor Lanes. A tug o' war, TV games and dancing were enjoyed at the party following. A crowded bus trip was made to Pierre by the Constitu- tion classes to attend the legislature. The end of the year came faster than expected as a strong senior union formed. Thanks to the cooks they ate their last meal together at the lunchroom. The Methodist WSCS honored them with a breakfast on the last day of school, May 14.

A cloud can form different shapes that can be related to the story of a year. It seemed ironical that the snow storm clouds brought a happy week of no school. Clouds don’t have to exist only in the sky. They can be related to feelings found deep inside of everyone . . . and everyone has different feelings about the year. Have you ever looked at the sky and imagined a cloud to look like an old man, a duck, or two lovers kissing? We imagine there is a cloud to reflect everything. There are many kinds, cumulus, stratus, cirrus, but they are all different. No two cumulus or stratus are exactly alike and neither are two people. . . . so in years to come when you’re looking back, the theme, pushing away the clouds ... to find the sunshine, will remind you of the '74-'75 school days of searching, learning, and understanding.
