VISIONS 1981 Hisodak Volume 59 Hyde County Independent School Dist. No. 34-1 Highmore, S.D. 57345 Each Life Effects Another We may not always realize that everything we do Affect not only our lives but touches others, too. A single happy smile can always brighten up the day For anyone who happens to be passing by our way, And a little bit of kindness that shows others that we care Creates a ray of sunshine for everyone to share- Yes, everytime we offer someone a helping hand. Every time we show a friend we care and understand, Everytime we have a kind and gentle word to give. We help someone find beauty in this precious life we live. For happiness brings happiness and loving ways bring love. And giving is the treasure that contentment is made of. -Amanda Bradley- 2 Opening Samio Dancey lion Hart.

Jacquelyn Neuharth Opening 3 STUDENT LIFE The Gift Of Friendship Friendship is a priceless gift That cannot be bought or sold. But it has value far greater than A mountain made of gold. For gold is cold and lifeless. It can neither see nor hear. And in a time of trouble It is powerless to cheer. It has no ears to listen Nor heart to understand. It cannot bring comfort Or reach out a helping hand. So, when you ask God for a gift Be thankful if he Not diamonds, pearls or riches hut The love of real true friends. Diana Drake 6 Student Life Take Time Take time to talk. For you may ask of all things Unknown to you. Take time to laugh. For smiles relinquish sorrows. And spread happiness. Take time to listen. For you may learn from the word From the words of the wise. Take time to think. For there is beauty In every part of the world around you. Take time to feel, For the emotions of your heart Often control the reasoning of your mind. Take time to live, For each day is filled with new opportunities. That will he gone tomorrow. Take time to dream. For survival is forever challenging The powers of your imagination. Take time to love. For the sharing of all these things Is the miracle of life.

Student Life 9 New President, Attempted Assasinations, And Usual News Covered Events happened throughout the 1980-1981 year that effected the students in Highmore High School. The end of 1980 was the year to elect a new President, with Ronald Reagan and George Bush being the ones elected. Iran fi- nally let our people come home, in Atlanta many black children were being slain. The first air shuttle was blasted off into space and then landed on an airstrip. Walter Cronkite retired and Dan Rather took over. We found out Kristin shot J.R. on “Dallas”. The Super Bowl was won by Oakland Raiders and Philadel- phia Phillies earned the title for the World Series. John I ennon was murdered, Mae West and Jim Davis, “Jock Ewing”, on “Dallas died. President Reagan and Pope John were victims of attempted assasination but both recovered. In the state of the legislature was called into a special session to work on railroad funding. The winter was exceptionally warm and snowless with a dry spring. An Appreciation Day was held for the new additions to High- more, which were Lueders’ Gro- cery formally Studts’, the new building for the First State Band, L L Greenhouse, a new building was added to Sully Buttes, and BJ’s became the Sta- ble. Highmore students did well academically and extracurricu- lar. Girls’ Basketball was second in the state defeated once again by Jefferson. Band and Chorus both received superior ratings at the music contest. In wrestling Tigh Cowan and J.P. Cowman placed third and fourth in their weight classes. The school was full of clumsy people this year for many of them were wearing casts, crutches, or bandages. TV shows that kept the stu- dents interested were, Magnum PI, Saturday Night Live, Dallas. Flamingo Road, and the soaps. Private Benjamin, Urban Cowboy, Blue Lagoon, Caddy- shack, Stir Crazy, Ordinary Peo- ple, and 9 to 5 were some of the most talked about movies. Songs that were high on every- body’s list to listen to were, An- other One Bites The Dust, I’m Alright, Lost In Ix ve, lookin’ For Love, Take It On The Run, Wasn’t That A Party, I Love You and theme from 9 to 5. Wool skirts and pants made it big in fashion with girls. Pleats and plaids were in. Some of the sayings around the school were, For Sure, Not to Cool, Bad Toad, We’re Bad, and when the teachers asked for an admit slip to get into class the students would answer with, “I’m sorry, but I’m wearing a dress.” 10 Student Life Seniors Guiding the Seniors through their last year at HHS are the class officers.

Seniors 21 Senior Breakfast Annual Affair Brings Rain A rainy day greeted the Seniors on Tuesday May 12, for the break- fast at Wesley Hall. This event is sponsored every year by the Methodist women. The menu in- cluded scrambled eggs, ham. rolls, juice and coffee. The table prayer was given by Rev. Orland Sloat. Supt. William McLoud spoke to the graduates about being proud of their achievements. Entertainment fol- lowed with Rev. Hilmore Wil- liams reading excuses given to Principals by students from other schools. After breakfast the Seniors had Graduation practice at the Aud, and then the annual car chase was held. Driving through the pouring rain with horns honking and flashers flashing the class of ’81 announced to the town of High- more that yet another graduating group had finished its year at Baccalaureate Students Share In Service Baccalaureate services for the Seniors were held Sunday May 11, at 8:00 in the Auditorium. The high school hand played the pro- cessional and recessional. Father Francis Suit miller delivered the invocation. Unlike other years students were called upon to give scripture readings. Dorinda Weiderbach. Bruce Tabbert. Scott Pekarek, and Peggy Eckstein each took a turn at the podium. Rev. Hilmore Williams gave a sermon on mak- ing your dreams come true”, and Rev.

Coming back for their second year at HHS, these students felt more secure than they did in their first year. These students were allowed to take more subjects and participate in more activities, also. The required subjects were Bi- ology I and English II, with one math class. In English II the first semester was spent studying grammar and delving into such literary greats as “Animal Farm and “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Bi- ology I students highlighted the year with their many disections. At the homecoming festivities, Gary Heckenliable was chosen as the marshal candidate and the float theme was “Life is A Victo- ry.” With the coming of prom, the juniors chose eight girls and eight boys to serve as waiters and wait- resses at the banquet.

Miss Clements also helped the Senior editors of the school paper, the Pirate Journal. 46 Freshmen ACTIVITIES HOMECOMING Unleashed Days And Nights Homecoming upheld its electri- fying place this year during the week of September 21-26. This is always a heedless time of year when nights are trademarked by building floats, painting and set- ting up flats, and order is not in our vocabulary. Large bubbles and snapping jaws started the Pirate’s week out. Also crazy hats and mismatched shoes were seen throughout the school. From crazy, the students ad- vanced to “Too Big Day” on Tues- day and were also given an oppor- tunity to demonstrate some emo- tion by pounding on an old car. Something new to humiliate some ill-advised students was the hilar- ious Kangaroo Court. The third day of Homecoming week was filled with rockin and rollin in the halls and sounds of the 50’s filling the air. Bobby socks, saddle shoes, ponytails and slicked back hair were all the rage. The day came to a conclusion with the signing of Hisodaks at the an- nual party. Marshal candidates, chosen by their respective classmates, were given a chance to proclaim their promises to the student body on Thursday. Candidates were Ross Peterson, senior; Randy Houdek, junior; Gary Heckenliable, sopho- more and Tim Ellsworth, fresh- man. The king and queen candi- dates were also announced. They were Queen’s Lori Garrigan, Peg- gy Eckstein and Budi Kusser; Kings- Ben Hart, Justin Ander- son, and Brad Ryan. That night cornation was held. The King Brad Ryan and Queen Budi Kusser, elected by the student body, were honored at this cere- mony. Marshal Randy Houdek emceed the event. Musical enter- tainment put on by the chorus and band and skits submitted by the high school classes completed the program. Following the cornation was a pep rally with the burning of the H. Winding up the week, the long awaited Homecoming Day came. Students adorned themselves in red and white and intensified their spirit for the activities of the day. A softball game between the feindish girl’s basketball players and cross country girls and the barbarous football players and cross country boys ended with the crestfalling boys being overth- rown by the victorious girls. A sunny, cool day greeted the traditional parade in the after- noon reflecting the theme, “Breakfast Cereals”. Fans came out of their hiding places to be in full force at the football game in the evening to observe the Pirates overrule the Sully Buttes Chargers, 8 to 6.

Homecoming 49 50 One Act Plays ONE-ACT PLAYS Comedy And Drama Set Stage The three one-act plays, di- rected by Miss Deb Clements, were given at a matinee on Jan- uary Uth and to the public on January 14th. They were “The Storm”, “If Girls Asked Boys for Dates” and “Broken Sen- tence”. “If Girls Asked Boys for Dates” was selected to go to Huron for regional contest, January 20th. The play did not advance to state but Victor Ne- mee was awarded superior ac- tor. “The Storm” is a haunting story of a woman (Lisa Olig- mueller) and her daughter (Kim Williams) who are in- volved in an automobile acci- dent with a man named Jeff (John Arendt) and are killed during what became known as “the storm”. The woman’s hus- band (Mike Aasby) who is sup- posedly a lost hunter comes looking for Jeff and his wife, Mary (Dorinda Weidenbach), for revenge for killing his wife and little girl. “If Girls Asked Boys for Dates” was a hilarious comedy about George (Max Wortman) and Harry (Victor Nemec) get- ting ready for their big dates. George’s mother (Susan Van- DenBerg) tries to give a nervous George some pointers on what to do and not to do on his first date. What was so humorous about this? It so happened the roles were completely switched from what is today and the girls, Nancy (Jeanne Knip- pling) and Kay (Dona Stoley) picked up George and Harry! “Broken Sentence”, a seri- ous-humorous play, was about two girls, Mitzi (Beth Johnson) and Lolly (Denise Haiwick) who had just been released from reform school. The local social worker. Miss Hatfield (Peggy Eckstein and Diane Schmidt) placed the two girls in two old ladies’ home. Sarah (Sarah Wortman) and Lillian (Mary Kay Boschee) had the tedious job of teaching Mitzi and Lolly some manners and respect for others. In the end, Mitzi and Lolly end up teach- ing the two old ladies some- thing new and find out that Sarah and Lillian aren’t as knowledgeable as they seem.

SPRING PLAY Sneaky Creates Problems For The Town The three-act play, “The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch”, was presented March 19 and 20, with Mrs. Barbara Ro- seland directing it. The play was set in a small, western town. It was an ordi- nary place of the old west, with its many problems, the main one being Sneaky Fitch. In the play Sneaky undergoes a defi- nite change from coward to su- perhuman after dying, and coming back to life. The towns- people found it hard to handle the “new Sneaky” and dreamed up a scheme to dispose of him properly by having Maroon, the dance-hall girl and Sneaky’s sweetheart, shoot him in the back.

Prom Blue And Silver Glittered For Prom “A Night to Remember was the theme chosen hy the Junior class for the Junior-Senior Prom. On May 2, the Hyde County Audi- torium was transformed into a star filled night with blue and sil- ver colors and glittering decora- tions. A stairway to heaven with angel hair was the center of attrac- tions. ATables were decorated with stars, crepe paper and blue candles. A banquet, which began at 7:30 was served by the Civic league. The meal consisted of bar-b-qued beef, baked potatoes, corn and fruit salad. The blessing was given by Pas- tor Youngquist. Junior class Presi- dent Cindy Ellsworth welcomed the guests and Senior class Presi- dent Kenny Myers offered a thank you on behalf of all the seniors. After dinner entertainment was furnished by the Seniors with the reading of the wills, history, and prophecy of the class. Music for the evening was pro- vided by “IVORY . The dance re- mained open all night instead of a few hours as in other years. A large crowd was in attendance. The mothers of the Junior class served breakfast at 3:00 in the East Wing of the Auditorium. For some it brought an end to “A Night to Remember while others continued celebrating until the wee hours of the morning. 54 Prom Awards Night Closes A Year Of Accomplishments The program read “Highmore High School Awards Night. Hyde Countv Auditorium, 7:30 pm, Tuesday. May 12, 1981”. As people wandered into the auditorium, they heard the High- more High School Jazz Hand in their second public performance. People were amazed at the impro- vised solos of Guy Childs on trom- bone and Gerard Johnson on drums, among others. Lori Garrigan. student body president, began the program with the announcement of the 1980-81 student council officers. As the list of officers drew toward the end, the building became ominously si- lent as people awaited the an- nouncement of the new student body president. Mary Jane Lusk defeated Max Wort man in a very close race for the office. She con- ducted the rest of the program. The presentation of awards be- gan. For most it was a long one and one-half hour sit, but others seemed to go forward for almost every award. Mr. Oswalt added some humor to the program when he gave awards for the most dent- ed tuba and to the person who al- ways forgot her music for pep band. As the program drew to a close, people were relieved to stand and sing the school song with the lead- ership of the cheerleaders. The awards for another year had been presented. With this year behind them, people left looking at the next year with an- ticipation.

Girls' Basketball Tournaments Cardiac Kids Prevail To Finals For the second time, the High- more Ijidy Pirates, made it all the way to the championship game of the State “B” Girls Basketball Tournament. In 1978, Highmore was runner-up, losing to the Jeffer- son Hawkettes. Kmphasis wax placed on the Dis- trict Tournament because last year’s first lost of the season came in the District championship. The l-ady Pirates received a bye for the opening round of District 15 play. Semi-final game found High- more out classing Agar by SO points.

The Pirates moved on to Regions to render a couple of heart stopping victories. Highmore once again, as in 78 found themselves in first round action with the White River Tigers This game was also tight, with the score 35 to 30. In championship play they prevailed over the Woonsocket Redmen in a rousing game by two points. In the final seconds of the game, two free throws calmly sunk by Cheryl Mewes, won the game. Winning Regions opened the door to the State Tournament held in Huron. Challenging Avon the first night of play provided yet another spine tingling game for the specta- tors, Highmore 47 Avon 42.

During the regular season the Pirates lost to Lyman County by three points in overtime and to Wessington Springs by one point. The Pirates showed the fans a good class of ball with con- sistent scoring, rebounding, excellent fast breaks, and several very close games. During the first game of the season and in the first quarter, starting forward Cheryl Mewes sprained her ankle and was out for three weeks. Cheryl was replaced by Myra Hoffman. Throughout the entire sea- son the Pirates were rated in the top 10. At one time High- more was ranked as high as 3. The Pirates also won the LCAC championship and have been the victor for 5 consecutive years. Ix ri Garrigan and Tara Corbin were selected the All- Tournament Team. Ix ri was also awarded Second Team All-State. r Girls 'B' Basketball I Young Team Turns In Several Near Wins This year’s ‘B’ team was coached by Roger Edwards. The team completed the sea- son with a 9 and 13 win-loss- record. Many of the games were very close. The team was basically young with many freshmen. Coach Edwards had no con- secutive starters, so many of the girls had a chance to start during the season. Al- ternating the members to play different positions en- abled the girls to get a feel of all basketball positions. The ‘B’ team played an important part in the prac- tices. They were constantly working the ‘A’ squad to per- fection. They played offense and defense while varsity played the opposing team. Faithful support and en- thusiasm entrusted by the ‘B’ teamers was a big help in the successful season of the ‘A’ team. This years ‘B’ squad will be a major part of next years team. 78 Girls Basketball ‘B’ “B”SCOREBOARD Opponent We They Faulkton 18 23 Harrold 19 14 Polo 44B” 20 28 Polo “A” 27 56 Agar 25 6 Pierre (Frosh) 14 32 Pierre J.V. 48 37 Chamberlain (Frosh) 3 8 Chamberlain 19 27 Crow Creek 38 37 Lyman Co. 34 30 Kimball 29 22 Miller 25 28 Harrold 27 11 Agar 17 22 Pierre J.V. 29 45 Sully Buttes 22 20 Wessington 21 15 Wessington Springs 21 22 Stanley Co. 19 21 Faulkton 18 23 Gettysburg 16 20 OPPOSITE PAGE.

Girls Basketball ‘B’ 79 Football Pirate Season Plagued By Injuries Plagued by injuries, the small Pi- rate team struggled through their nine game season, only to achieve a two and seven record. The new head coach Ted Welke, and his assistant Bill Mower, used the best of their abilities to drill the team throughout their hampered year. By using a variety of trick plays (guard around, half-hack pass, and the end around pass) and making the must of their passing game, the coach gave the players a new per- spective of the game. Basic football was also a factor. The most pleasurable game was Homecoming, with the Pirates edg- ing the Sully Buttes Chargers 8-6. To clinch the game. Conrad Cood- voice received a high snap from the center on the extra point field goal attempt, and ran it in for two points. Scott Pekarek, was chosen all- conference team, because of his out- standing defensive ability. Honor- able mentions were Brad Ryan and Tigh Cowan. Coach Ted Welke commented that he was looking forward to next year when the Pirates will be turn- ing to nine man football. 80 Football OPPOSITE PAGE. CUT OUT: Scot!

Wrestling The Season Brought i Many Surprises | Seventeen wrestlers began practice in early November, but due to illness and injury the team dwindled to a mighty few. Head coach Ted Welke and assistant Mick Goodrich lead this young and deter- mined grappler team through a disappointing dual season but managed to come up with some suprises by the end of the year. The duties of co-captain fell upon Senior Todd Hertel and Junior Tigh Cowan. Todd and Tigh along with the coaches did their best to elevate spirit. Al- though dual matches were disappointing, strenght throughout the year proved to be the individual accom- plishments in tournaments. The Battler Invitational at Gettysburg was the setting for the fi-'i suprise of the season. Three pirates regis- tered unforgetable perfor- mances, bring home three in- dividual champions; J.P. Cowman at 98 pounds, Todd Hertel at 126 pounds and Tigh Cowan at 185 pounds. Two weeks later Highmore was again making a presence known in tournament bout, this time at the Ondia Invi- tational where they tangled with some of the top rated grapplers in the State and came out with two seconds, a third an a fourth place fin- ish. Districts brought some let- downs to the team, during the week Highmore lost four out of ten grapplers by way of illness and in first round competition Senior Todd Hertel, who held Highmore’s best single record, broke his collar bone and got knocked out of tournament action. J.P. Cowman, Gary Hecken- laible, Doug Kroeplin and Tigh Cowan all placed in the top four to earn the right to compete at the Regional . tournament in Wall. Regions held another suprise for the mighty pirates. For the first time in ten years Highmore won two regional Champion- ships. J.P. Cowman and Tigh the 98 pound champ and Tigh Cowan conquered the 185 pound class for another first place finish. State turned out to be the biggest suprise of the year. Highmore took two wrestlers compared to some teams which had six to ten compet- ing. J.P. and Tigh, who were unrated all year, came through their classes with a 4th and 3rd respectively. Be- tween the two of them they wrestled 11 of the toughest guys in the state and lost to only three while racking up 31 Vi points for a 13th place finish out of 66 teams. With J.P. and Tigh returning the team will have experience for next year. Wrestling 85 TOP LEFT: Awaiting the slap of the mat Doug Kroeplin sticks his oppo- nent.

Wrestling 87 � Boys 'A' Basketball Season Record Doesn't Show The Dedication After a long summer of practicing at the tennis court, and attending basket- ball camps, the Pirates start- ed their 1981 season with success on their minds. Fourteen high school boys and two eighth graders made up the mighty team. With a meager amount of boys out for basketball, Coach Tim Mulhair and assistant Coach Roger Kdwards compelled the boys into top physical shape. Freshmen and eighth graders played a big part in the daily practices. They scrimmaged hard to bring the varsity to perfection and to improve their skills. The Pirates finished the season with a 6-15 record. The dedicated team never gave up and gave every team a run for their money. The Pirates won 2 of their last 3 games before districts, and started the new season with a win over Harrold. In the second round game the Pirates fell to the to-be Champions of District 15, the Agar Hi-Pointers. In the consolation game the Pirates were defeated by the Stanley County Buffalos by 3 points. Coach Tim Mulhair com- mented that with any luck at all during the 5 close games of the season the Pirates could have easily had a 500 season. 88 Boys Basketball ‘A' SCOREBOARD We They Sully Buttes 45 . 49 Harrold 57 56 Crow Creek 56 67 Agar 51 63 Wolsey 40 57 Mobridge 59 61 Crow Creek 52 95 Sunshine Bible Academy 64 53 Miller 57 59 Gettysburg 52 50 Agar 39 68 Miller 52 71 Faulkton 47 65 Ft.

Low shooting percentages coupled with numerous tur- novers handed the team of 5 freshmen, 2 eighth graders, and 1 sophomore 14 losses in a row. As the season drew to a close, however, determina- tion paid off when the un- ruly bunch captured its first 'B' Squad Season and only victory. A 37-33 win over Wessington. The team ended the sea- son with a 1-15 win-loss re- cord, but with valuable ex- perience gained. Coach Edwards has high hopes for next year. He stat- ed that each new season means a fresh influx of play- ers and another perfect 0-0 record to begin with.

Receiving the positions were Susan VanDen Berg, Todd Neu- harth, and John Arendt. On October 16, Monday morn- ing came earlier than usual for the editors. They left at 6:30 a.m. for Press Day at SDSU in Brookings. This was the first time Press Day was held on a week day. The edi- tors left Brookings that night very fatigued with the hopes of an all- state award unfulfiled. Throughout the year the Senior editors, Dorinda Weidenbach, Lori Garrigan, and Trish Kusser worked on the general layout of the annual while the junior and sophomore editors went about their individual assignments. Under the supervision of year- book advisor Mrs. Jacquelyn Neu- harth, the editors worked toward meeting their deadlines. ABOVE: The Hisodak staff takes time to pose for a picture.

Dorinda Weidenbach and Darwin Williams set the pace as senior editors, and Lisa Olig- mueller and Mike Youngquist took up the position of junior edi- tors. With a staff of five full time re- porters, two photographers, and a sprinkling of talent from the var- ious clubs, the bi-monthly Pirate Journal forged ahead. It took on the tasks of recording the happen- ings of Highmore High School and all of the co-curricular activities that go along with life in a small town high school. The hopes of an all-state award gone, the editors started the year trying to improve the paper in ev- ery way possible. With the help of the Highmore Herald staff the editors strove to make the Pirate Journal a better newspaper. Under the careful eye of first year advisor, Deb Clements, the staff held an end-of-the-year meeting in which it was decided that the rules governing the publi- cation of the Pirate Journal would be changed. The new rules con- sisted of having new deadlines for the reporters, photographers, and the editors. Pirate Journal 97 Deba te TOP: Front How; Ron Jetty. Todd Neu- harth. Mike Youngquist.

Experience Lacking For Novice Deba tors Debate was coached this year by Mrs. Barb Roseland, she fa- shioned a varsity and a novice team. The varsity team was composed of Todd Neuharth and Mike Youngquist who debated in nega- tive, and Lisa Oligmueller and Denise Hawick who debated in af- firmative. The novice team con- sisted of Megan Garrigan, Kim Kindopp, Tracey Scott, Ron Jetty, and Julie Oligmueller. Due to the uneven number of members, the quintet often had to take turns and often switched sides. Since this was the first year for many of the novice debaters, it was a year used for gaining experience. The varsity and novice teams participated at the same tourna- ments. They attended five tour- neys in all. The varsity team placed second at the Chamberlain C.F.C. and placed third at the Mitchell C.F.C. The debate teams strong points were the individual events. At Mitchell, Lisa Oligmueller and her sister Julie, received first su- periors in Oral Interpt. The four members of the varsity team re- ceived superior speaking awards. Todd Neuharth and Mike Young- quist also received first superiors in extempt. Finals were held in Chamber- lain, Lisa Oligmueller received second place in Oral Interpt. Todd Neuhath received third in B Ex- tempt and Mike Youngquist re- ceived third in 4 Extempt. The team participated in the state tourney held in Brookings.

Declam was coached by Mrs. Barb Roseiand, with her good background in literature she came up with some exciting pieces. Ten declam members partici- pated at the local contest. The contest was held in the chorus room, where three judges judged the contestants. Of the ten mem- bers, six of them were allowed to go to districts, which were held in Faulkton. The team which represented Highmore at districts, was com- posed of Dona Stoley and Denise Hawick, Duet Memorized, Max Wortman, Poetry, Julie Olig- mueller, Memorized Oratory, and Melody Aasby Serious Prose. Since there were only under- classmen out for declam, the team will have experience for next year.

Other can- didates vying for the title were; Sarah Wortman, Alison Gal- lagher, Mary Kay Boschee, Tigh Cowan, Don Hemminger, and .Jeff Ellsworth. As in all years one of the main projects of the chapter was to take favors to the nursing home.

Sarah Wort- man, Karla Kerr, Dorinda Wei- denbach, Tina Nielson, Karen Beastrom, and Kim Kindopp were those honored. Spring activities included the beef cook-off. Dusty Anderson won the Local contest and placed 3rd at the Regional. Members took a trip to Sioux Falls in April and visited many points of inter- est in the city.

Miller High School also contribut- ed to the enrollment as they do not have a club of their own. Offi- cers for the year were President Tigh Cowan, Vice President Dusty Anderson, and Sec-Treas Trish Kusser. They handled most of the responsibility of running the orga- nization. Mike Volek and Connie Hoffman served as advisors. During the year the club hosted a Thanksgiving dance, a Sweet- hearts dance on Saturday night. After much planning the rodeo came off a success and will possi- bly continued next year. Rodeo Club 103 Future Business Leaders Of America Busy Year With Money Projects Raising money to go to the state convention was the goal of the Fu- ture Business leaders of America during the year.

Chorus Chorus Final Concert Cabaret Received Praise Under the direction of Miss Deb Binder, the high school choir went to Aberdeen contest and came home with a superior on the choir performance. One soloist, Max Wort man, also received a superior. The selection of All-State Cho- rus members was an early item of business on the schedule. Mem- bers of the All-State Chorus were Max Wortman tenor, Victor Ne- mee bass, Peggy Eckstein soprano. Dona Stoley alto. The alternates were Mike Aasby, Richard Wurts, Marcia Cermak, and Bridget Ne- mee. The chorus also participated in a concert in Huron. After a long day of practicing under the direc- tion of Mr. Ken Lidge, the mass chorus, consisting of 5 small towns, performed an afternoon concert. Highmore was honored to have our own Victor Nemec sing a solo. Chorus time was spent learning new songs, music signs, and even a part of a new language, Isatin, which was used in one of the con- test numbers. The hard work in class was paid off by the many dif- ferent occasions the chorus sang for banquets, homecoming, school programs, and concerts. The chorus put on a Caberet in April. It was received with great enthusiasium. The music was sleeted from the 40’s to the 80’s. Soloes and duets were performed by the members. TOP: Mike Aasby sings Yes Sir Your My Baby to Peggy Kckstein.

Librarians Photographers Work Runs From Routine To Unusual Only one student librarian worked throughout the year. Myra Hoffman toiled in the grade school library every Tuesday and Thursday. Mrs. Bruggeman was in charge of the high school library. She did routine things like cata- loging new hooks and organizing magazines, but some things were out of the ordinary. Almost every teacher who assigned term papers did it at the same time, so Mrs. Bruggeman was snowed under with state library request forms. Todd Neuharth and Mike Youngquist took pictures for the Pirate Journal and Hisodak. They also worked in the darkroom de- veloping films and printing pic- tures. John Arendt took pictures at cross country meets and a num- ber of other events. Dorinda Wei- denbach also took pictures at a number of occasions. Kim Wil- liams, Kari Griese, and Ron Jette learned how to use the camera and took many pictures on the History I Cheyenne River trip. TOP LEFT: Mr .

We used visions because in everyday we see a vision of something. Visions of people, events and happenings. Vi- sions can not only be things you see but things you feel and dream. Putting a yearbook togeth- er is no small task, it takes time and planning. Ix ng days and nights are spent each year with the deadlines always coming before we are ready. But, even with all the hassels, time, typing, retyp- ing. picture selection and the frustration there is a great sense of satisfaction when you're finished. As we leave this time, our time, we hope that as you look back through this book it will bring a memorable vi- sion of Highmore high school during the year of 1980-81.
