The Student Council has various duties that have to be taken care of throughout the year. The first business was taking care of Freshman elections. The planning of Homecoming Week and Pirate Day was a time-consuming job of the Student Council. A first Hush Day was organized. Also, instead of the Seniors constructing the royalty float, the Student Council handled this job. A snake dance was another first taken care of by the Student Council. A new tardy policy was discussed and put into action, along with a new gum and candy policy. Another job of the Student Council was to act as a courtesy committee during par- ent-teacher conferences. Spring student elections were super- vised by the Student Council in the library. During the year, the Student Council had many behind the scene duties that of- ten went unnoticed by many students. A lot of hard work is put in by the Student Council to make this high school a more pleasant place by viewing student's opinions as well as the faculty's. The Student Council is another form of authority in the school. UPPER RIGHT: Pam Gunderson and Linda Johnson take time out from their daily routine to vote for the candi- date of their choice.

The administration is made up of the superintendent, the principal, and the schoolboard. Many long hours are taken from their busy schedules to try and solve the problems of the school. Superintendent Uken is in his fourth year at Highmore High School. Mr. Uken shows a great interest in sports. When he is not busy with his many du- ties as superintendent, you will often find him supporting the Pirates at many events. In his second year here is Mr. Robert Luce. As a high school princi- pal, Mr. Luce has the job of overseeing the teachers and students. Mr. Luce also enjoys sports and can be seen at many home events. The schoolboard consists of eight members from Hyde County elected by members of this school district. Regu- lar monthly meetings are held along with special meetings to discuss unex- pected but important issues. Although these members are busy with their regular jobs, they take the time to do their job as board member. Some of their duties are the hiring of teachers, the salaries, and the representing of the people to make education in this school system better for the benefit of the students and the community.

Mr. Schuurmans, Mr. Moses, Mrs. Whiting, Mr. Heintz, and Mrs. Moses all worked hard in the Science and Math department. An unlucky teacher Mr. Schuurmans had two classes of sophomores in Bi- ology I. They had a different kind of year by disecting odd little animals. He had classes of General Science with the freshman. They went on a field trip during the year. Another class in his busy day was Human Physiology. Mrs. Whiting did not have a terrably busy year with classes of Algebra I, Pre Algebra a new course added this year and General Math. Mr. Heintz taught classes of Gen- eral Science, with just one class of Bi- ology I and Chemistry class did a lot of different experiments which some times always didn't turn out. Field Ecology was another one of his classes. They learned about the environment and how it effects them. A few things in Mrs. Moses re- sponsibilities is the more advanced Algebra II and Geometry. UPPER RIGHT: In Sociology third hour you can see what Lorenzo Williams thinks of Mr. Morriss. LOWER RIGHT: These lucky fellows Mark Arendt, Brian Tabbert, Jeff Guthmiller were chosen to go to the Presidential Classroom for a week in Washington D.C. by the principal Mr. Luce, the counselor Miss Taylor, the representative of Civic League Mrs. Maries, and the Government teacher Mrs. Ruebel. 18 Science And Math Challenges Brain Power Mrs. Ruebel, Mr. Morriss, and Mrs. Moses were the instructors in the Social Science department this past year. During Mrs. Ruebels last year at HHS she busied herself with constitu- tion. It was a full class of Juniors, with some seniors having just one semester of it. One of the many things the con- stitution class did was going to the court house to observe and gain first hand experience with court proceedings. They took out a day of school to attend government day held at the Auditorium. Many local business men and people talked about city and state government. A new teacher this year is Mr. Morriss, he had a busy schedule. He had classes with all grades in the high school. In History I and II he had freshman and Sophomores. He kept the students busy just as well as they kept him busy. American Minorities and Sociology classes added a lot to the Social Science department this past year. Just one of Mrs. Moses classes was Sociology. All her classes were full and she was kept busy. UPPER LEFT: Roxanne Moysis, Mark Arendt, and Scott Peterson are hard at work on a physics project.

In the past students had the opportunity to select a number of semester English classes for a total of four credits. Re- quired English courses were English I, Speech, American Literature, Cre- ative Writing and Research Paper. Now English I, II, III, and IV are required. In English I freshmen learn the basics of English. They studied vo- cabulary, read an assortment of books, and diagramed sentences. English II, which is composed of sophomores, taught the students how to use the library, grammar, parliamen- tary procedure, and how to give speeches. Juniors are required to take English III. These students studied poetry, read stories and books and listen to poetry records. Seniors in English IV studies more advanced literature. They read poems and stories. Classes of English II and English III were taught by Doug Tschetter while Mildred Wollman instructed English I, Creative Writing, Research Paper and English IV. UPPER RIGHT: Mr. Tschetter eyes the photographer and makes sure that every student is kept busy on 1 his assignment as he hands out English papers. 1 LOWER RIGHT: Durwaid Ratzlaff keeps himself busy during studyhall by reading one of the many books they were to read for English III, A Seperate Peace by John Knowles. 20 Fine Arts Sharpens Talents The swing choir, under the direction of Miss Victoria Kuehl performed at various concerts. They had the priviledge to perform at the annual Bowling Banquet on May 13. They also had a lot of fun at- tending the Aberdeen music contest. John Weidenbach and his band students performed very well at their music con- certs this year; including the traditional Band Festival. They also attended the Aberdeen music contest and had some students do very well in the Miller con- test. The Highmore High School Band had the priviledge this year to perform at the State B Basketball tournament held in the Sioux Falls arena. The Art classes, which were semes- ter courses, were taught by Mrs. Jaquelyn Neuharth. The first 9 weeks of Art I cov- ered color and design in various ways. Also the basic color schemes were learned. Perspective drawing; one, two, and three points are taught in the second 9 weeks. Art I is required before taking any other art courses. In Art II, skills of figure drawing, and sketching, using pencil, pen, ink, pastels and charcoal were tried. They also did an oil painting. Art III uses various crafts and basic pro- cedures. Art IV is a semester of ceram- ics. The basic hand built methods and using the potter's wheel were covered.

Typing I and II, Office Occupations, Accounting, Basic Bookkeeping, and Shorthand were in her busy schedule. The Typing I class learned the basic typing skills while Typing II students did more advanced business letters and tabulation drills. In Office Occupations they were taught steps of filing, suplication, transcriber, and office assistant. They where they acted as a secretary and typed letters, envelopes, interoffice memos, travel authorization sheets, referal slips, itineraries, and other forms that go along with being a secretary. Another thing learned in Office Occupations was how to run the different adding machines and dito machine. Accounting and Basic Bookkeeping classes learned concepts of Accounting and Bookkeeping with a unit on income taxes. The students in Shorthand developed skill in dictation and transcribing. Mr. Jarebeck also taught a class of Typing I and II, Accounting, and Busi- ness Law. He also had gradeschool health classes. Jaquelyn Neuharth taught General Business, which covered comparitive economic systems, and a unit on in- come taxes. Interest, credit, banking, and insurance are also a part of the class.

Vo-Ag I deals with crop production. The stu- dents study areas of planting, harvest- ing, caring for, storing, insects and diseases of grains. The students also spent time building tool boxes using only hand tools. Vo-Ag II covers feed- ing, managing, diseases, breeding, and selection of all classes of livestock. Vo-Ag III is divided into forages and pasture management, welding and metal projects, electricity, irrigation, and farm structure. Vo-Ag IV learns machinery management, farm taxes and Ranch Record keeping. Mrs. Gloria Haiwick was responsi- ble for all Home Economics classes. In Home Ec I the students learned the basics of sewing, cooking, and housing. Home Ec II does more advanced sewing while Home Ec III students tried their best skill at cooking. Home Handicrafts classes created dip n' drape dolls, macrame, and wood fibre flowers. Home Ec IV, Bachelor Living boys, ex- perimented with the main areas of cooking and sewing.

Delores Matre and Geneva Fieldsend were the secretaries to Mr. Uken and Mr. Luce. They kept school records, typed memos, and issued lunch tickets. Some students assisted them during their study halls. They were Dixie Pe- terson, Sandy Johnke, Sandi Rubendall, Laura Stoley, Dawn Ondricek, and Becky Vlcek. Hot lunches were prepared each day by Ramona Kautz, head cook, as- sisted by Darlene Dalton, Ella Weiden- bach, Dorothy Barnett and Earlene Ediger. Rural schools received hot lunches, which were prepared in town and transported by the rural teachers each morning. Bonnie Smith, Peggy Weber, Sandy Johnke, Robin Rinehart, and Mari Cowan helped with serving and dishes. Don DeGooyer was once again head custodian. As well as his custodial du- ties, he was the general handyman around school. He was assisted by Ag- nes Goodrich in the high school and Mildred Sanderson in the grade school. Mr. DeGooyer also had charge of keep- ing the rural schools in working con- dition.

It is required to have many of the qualities needed to participate in athletics. A cheerleader must have coordination and a multitude of knowledge of the sport in order to know when to induce the appropriate cheers. They must also have patience with her team and the crowd and the desire to win as much as the team she is cheering for. During the 1977-78 athletic sea- son there were five squads of cheer- leaders busy thinking of new ideas to keep the supporters alive and the team spirit up. Due to the fact that the squads were for seasonal teams, some girls were cheer- leaders on more than one squad. 27 Football UPPER LEFT: First Row: D. Wortman, T. Hertel, C. Johnkc, B. Tabbcrt, B.

The Vanity after many changes compiled a record of 3-6. After the first two games Mr. Morriss was replaced by Mr. Uken and Mr. McMahon. The first week after the change in coaches we played Gettysburg who were rated third in the state and lost in die closing seconds by a score of 7-6. At the seasons end Highmore had tied for 3rd place in the conference. The B team gave a good effort under the coaching of Mr. McMahon. They played some tough games but came up short at the end of the season with a record of 2-3. An important event for the football team this year was that Marty Melvin, 185-pound lineman was named to this year's South Dakota Class A all-state football team. Selected by the South Dakota Sportswriters Association, the all-state team is made up of senior athletes throughout the state with impressive credentials.

These words out- lined the boys' early part of the cross country sea- son while running the required 5000 meters (3.1 miles). The girls, however, presented a much different picture with them placing very well early in the season by running 3000 meters (1.8 miles) and being consistant winners throughout the year. The squad was the largest it had been for several years with seven male and seven female members. The LCAC was held in Highmore at the golf course with Mark A remit and Conrad Goodvoice placing in the top ten and the girls just being nudged out for second place team. The girls did place first at the Central Conference meet. Peggy and Cathy Weber qualified the whole girls' team for state by placing 15th and 14th, respectively, at the regional. Mark Arendt, being 12th, was the only boy from Highmore eligible to go on to the state meet. ABOVE: The team breaks from the huddle ready to go.

Girls’ Tie For The LCAC Title This years season was coached by Gary Schuurmans and assistant coach LeAnn Suhn. The girls compiled a win-loss record of 14 and 7. One of the highlights of the season was districts. In first round action we defeated Sully Buttes in a close game. We lost to Gettysburg in a close- fought game in the semi-finals. Another event that happened was that we tied with Harrold with the best record in the LCAC. This years co-captains were seniors Janet McDonald and Cheryl Busse. At the end of the season the girls voted on most valuable and most improved, but never found out who got it until Awards Night. The talented winners were for most improved. Budi Kusser. And for most valuable there was a tie between Carrie Wort- man and Cheryl Busse. 35 ‘ET Squad Young And Dynamic The B squad picked up 9 victories and 7 losses under the guiding hand of Coach Suhn. The team was a young one with mostly fresh- man. Some of the older members played their strength and experience. Coach Suhn gave the members a chance to play different positions to find which place they played to the team's benefit. There was no con- secutive starting five, most had the chance to start during the season. Early in the year two freshman were noteworthy and thus moved up to the varsity team, but still played on the B team. The team had close games but just couldn't manage to win with Chamberlain, Harrold, Miller, Sully Buttes, Wessington, and Faulkton. This year we didn't have a Little Central Athletics Conference tournament for the freshman and sophomores like we have had in the past.

Wrestling Matmen Win 2nd In Districts An ardent throng appeared in the wrestling room for the first few weeks of practice, but because of injury and lack of determination the team dwin- dled to a small but persistent one. Coach McMahon lead the Pirates to a 4-7 record. Because wrestling is a sport of individual conflict many of the grapplers compiled outstanding rec- ords. Highmore attended five tourna- ments. placing high in all tournaments and winning a second place trophy at Districts. Moving on from Districts to Region- al were seven matmen. This was the most wrestlers Highmore has taken to Regionals. They were A1 Stirling, Rod Kusser, Derick Wortman, Doug Whiting, Brett Singleton, Marty Mel- vin and Bill Gallagher. Progressing to the state meet wereAl Stirling, Rod Kusser, Derick Wortman, Marty Melvin and Bill Gallagher. Many Melvin put forth all effort in placing and came up with a 3rd place medal.

The Junior Varsity wrestlers were called upon to fill in for the Varsity Squad because of the unusual amount of injuries. A major- ity of these grapplers gained the ex- perience of wrestling Varsity some- time during the season. 41 ABOVE: FIRST ROW: C. Kaiser, Coach Jarabeck, Coach Moses, G. Pfiefcr.

Basketball Cagers Capture 15-3 Record This year's basketball team started out strong and ready to win earning their first 7 games of the season. The 1977-78 Basketball team was as high as 5th in the state ratings at one time. The enthusiasm of Coach Moses kept the team going. He could hardly wait for the basketball season to start. He said that they would stress team unity on the Pirates this year and as to which offense and defense they would play they would have to determine what they could do best and adapt their own patterns to fit their own personnel. The team won the Little Central Athletic Confer- ence. At the end, the Highmore Pirates champion- ship dreams went down the drain as Gettysburg defeated the Pirates, 70-69 in the semi-finals of the District 15 tournament held in the Parkview Gym at Fort Pierre. Highmore ended up winning the consolation by defeating Harrold with a score of 88-47. This was their last game of the season which ended with 15 wins and 3 losses. For the Pirates, Scott Peterson was high rcbounder with 16 and Steve Morford was high scorer with 14 at District. ‘B’ Team Acquires Beneficial Knowledge This year's B team was coached by Cal Jarabeck. The team completed the season with a record of 11 wins and 8 losses. Because the team had no regular starters, the players were alternated in different quarters giving all the boys an opportunity to play. Close games were played against Crow Creek, Faulkton, Sully Buttes, and Gettysburg, but because of de- termination the Junior Varsity team came out victorious in all of them by a few points. In the past the B team had a chance to play in the LCAC tourna- ment to prepare them for future tournaments, but this year the tour- nament was not held.

Boys Place Second In State We started the year with a con- siderably large track team, hoping for a promising season. The boys attended ten track meets and the girls only attended nine meets. The boys toughest contenders were the Gettysburg team. They had them to compete against in almost every track meet. The girls did not have quite as much competition and they were victorious in winning the LCAC meet. The boys had a large number of seniors on the team so they will be losing a great deal. The girls only had two seniors so they have some experience for the up coming year. There was rarely a day of nice weather but on the day of regional track meet the weather couldn't have been better. Because the Highmore team did very well. They took seven boys to the state meet, Rob Houdek, Mark Arendt, Gregg Marks, Brian Hertel, Tim Gunderson, Mike Hamlin, and Keith Volek. They ran the 880 relay, mile relay, 440 dash, mile run, the triple jump and pole vault. The girls took five, Colleen Weiden- bach, Bonnie Boiler, Lori Garrigan, Cathy Weber, and Peggy Weber. Awards were given to Colleen Weiden- bach for most valuable and Lori Garrigan most improved. Boys most improved went to Tim Gunderson and most valuable went to five seniors Mark Arendt, Brian Hertel, Gregg Marks, Keith Volek, and Rob Houdek. For the effort put forth this year the boys received second place over all in the State A Track Meet held in Spearfish. Highmore has never placed this high in a State Track meet. It was a most successful sea- son for the team. 47 FAR LEFT: FIRST ROW: C. Kusser, Y. Ruebcl, D. Houdek, K. Branninc, I. Cables, B. Carrigan, T. Bucheim, B. Johnson. SECOND ROW: K. Arendt, M.

But faith and hope and love and trust Can never, never die. Although the curtain falls at last. Is that a cause to grieve? The future's fairer than the past If only we believe And trust in God's eternal care-- So when the Master calls, Let's say that life is tills more fair Although the curtain falls.

Even though time seemed to rush by, and all those vows to meet deadlines didn't quite hold true, it was all worthwhile. The year began with the selection of sopho- more editors and ad sales to help finance the book. The Hisodak advisor was Mrs. Jacquelyn Neuharth and the co-editors were Roxanne Moysis, Janet McDonald and Greg Marks. The Pirate Journal was a bi-monthly publication edited by Vicki Taylor, who was assisted by junior editors Pam Mason and Dayton Sloat. Miss Woll- man was the advisor. Meeting deadlines and getting people together for pictures seemed to be the bigges problem for the staff.

The year gave many memories of being seniors . . . Pirates place second in District Wrestling and second at Boys State Track Meet, superintendent resigns, due to strong feelings of teacher nonrenewal of contract, students picketed in support of the teacher, class speakers for commencement, seniors order portraits, announcements, senior keys, prom.

The Hallo- ween theme Scare the Trogans was the class float for Homecoming. The class could be seen out at Kusser’s shop work- ing on it. The day of Homecoming was cold and windy so all the leaves blew off the float. The classes required this year were as follows: Biology 1, history 11. and English 11. which consisted of grammar and speech. Some of the events that happened were picking class rings, which is usu- ally done when you are a junior. A rep- resentative from Josten’s showed the various styles and stones available. Sixteen waiters and waitresses were chosen for the junior-senior prom.

After becoming accustomed to the rou- tine, the first order of business was election of officers. By the time October was over the Fresh- men had taken ITED and Thorndike tests. The Freshmen participated in Homecom- ing by building a float around the theme ’Thanksgiving.” They chose Justin Anderson as their Marshall candidate. Bruce Tabbert was one representative from Highmore at the National FFA Con- vention in Kansas City. Also for FFA, Bill Whipple got into the action by turning up as second high fruit salesman. Dorinda Weidenback showed her cooking talents by winning the beef cook-off for FHA in the spring. This year of high school was quite dif- ferent for the Freshmen compared to their years in grade school. They found themselves required to take General Science, History I, English I, and a math course. They were without their usual reading and spelling classes. The Freshmen now had the difficult task of jamming books in their lockers. Bill Whipple Sarah Wortman It's time now for Tina Nielsen to crack open the books and study for awhile in the library.

Tears that purify your heart and reveal to you the secret of life and its mystery, Laughter that brings you closer to your fellow men; Tears with which you shall join the broken hearted. Laughter that symbolizes joy over your very existence. -Kahlil Gibran For The Good Times was our theme this year. Everyone is affected by good times, whether it be with friends, your family or just yourself. This school year had many good times, some of which we captured with pic- tures. We hope everyone will have fond memories when looking back through the Hisodak 1978. Co-Editors Janet McDonald Roxanne Moysis Gregg Marks
