APART... ...But Still a Part 1982 Hisodak Volume 60 Hyde County Independent School Dist. No. 34-1 Highmore, S.D. 57345 NOW IS THE TIME TO FLY We are the leaders of tomorrow; now is the time to fly- to spread our wings in search of it; we’ll find it by and by. We’re all prepared to make the flight after 12 years of the high school life. We’ve had our ups, we’ve had our downs, the easy way never could be found. Talents, desires, and far out dreams held inside by the fashion seams. Now is the time to pull the strings, to let them all flow. We stand out from all the rest, whatever we do we do our best. Dreams are now reality, and new goals have been set. We’re all going our separate ways and doing our own thing, looking for the happiness which life can bring. It’s really hard to do, but it’s time to say goodbye. Now is the time to fly. written and dedicated to the senior class by -Max Wortman- Editors' Foreword The Hisodak is a history of the year’s events. As editors, we have tried to include everything that hap- pened in Highmore High School and to descfibe it as accurately as possi- ble. The “jigsaw puzzle” theme is something extra. It is intended to something extra. It is intended to bring a new dimension to the text as you read and to the pictures as you look at them and remember, laugh at, and relive past experiences. Each person is pictured as an indi- vidual. Each activity is treated as something separate. Each class, each sport, and each organization are de- scribed as if they were apart from the rest. Each person is unique, each one having his or her own characteristics. Likewise, each organization and each team are different from every other. But, each one is a part of some- thing bigger. The individuals make the activities what they are. They make up the teams, the organiza- tions, and the classes. All of them together make Highmore High School the unique place it is. As you read the 1982 Hisodak, we hope the symbolism we chose will help you to see that, while each per- son, event, or thing described exists apart ... ... it is still a part -The editors- chfLcSCL jAlhs HISODAK Editors: Michael G.

It was held in the Lutheran Church, rather than the audito- rium, on May 9, at 8:00. The processional and recession- al were played by Mr. Ben Oswalt on the trumpet, accompanied by Mrs. Jan Marks on the organ. Rev. Orland Sloat gave the invocation. Thea Johnson, Steve Vilhauer, Tigh Cowan, Karla Kerr, and Randy Houdek took part in the program. Pastor Edmund Youngquist gave the sermon, “A Gift of Life,” to the seniors. Music was provided by the high school choir, under the direction of Miss Lola Lee. The choir per- formed two numbers, “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” and “Walk Along Beside Me Oh My Lord.” Rev.

The stage was decorated in the class colors, light green and yellow. Spelled on the stage was the motto, “The future is inno- cent for we know not what it holds.” The girls carried long stem yellow roses and the boys wore yellow boutonnieres. Rev. A1 Cinnamon gave the invocation afetr which Supt. John Biegler introduced the guest speaker, Sen. Larry Pressler. Sen. Pressler chose to give his speech on the topic, “The Work Ethic.” Principal Roger Hansen in- troduced the class of ’82. The students received their diplo- mas from Phillip Kusser, Chairman of the school board. Max Wortman, a senior class member, wrote and sang the song, “Now Is The Time To Fly.” The song represented the feelings and challenges the classmates would meet in the future. The graduates stood, turned their tassels, and became alum- ni of HHS. Rev. Cinnamon closed the ceremony with the benediction. After the recessional, the graduates formed a receiving line to receive congratulations from family and friends. 16 Commencement OPPOSITE PAGE: ABOVE: Randy Houdek gives a grin of accomplishment after receiv- ing his diploma. he wrote for graduation.

Mary Kay Boschee left June 20, 1981 for a two month stay in San Sahastian, Spain. She gained a new family of six, the Martinez’s. She learned some Spanish, plus some of the Spaniards customs and hahits. Some of her time was spent going into Franee, shopping, and to the beach. New foods were tried, and she learned some differ- ent ways of preparing it. One fun experience was when twenty kids, including Mary Kay and her sis- ter, hiked into the mountains. They spent three days and two nights together in an old run- down house. Mette Olsen was brought to our town and school from Vig, Den- mark. She spent 11 months in Highmore and has spent most of her time, busy, as a senior. She was introduced to many of our school traditions throughout the year that were new to her such as Homecoming and Sweethearts. She stayed at Cliff Volek’s home for the first semester of school and with McGirr’s for the second. She has traveled around South Dakota to the State Capitol, skiing in the Black Hills, and to Sioux Falls. In January she spent three weeks in Arizona visiting a friend of hers from Denmark. She knew English but sometimes wondered what we meant when saying something. She introduced some new food combinations to her families and enjoyed jello and steak.

Lorie Klebsch was the chosen candidate, and the junior float was “Shake ’n Bake the Trojans.” The main responsibility was to make money for prom. Nights of working concessions at football games, wrestling matches, and basketball games occupied the time of the juniors. The class reached a total of $4,000 in maga- zine sales. Rob Hale earned the title of high sales person. The American Legion and Le- gion Auxiliary chose Boys and Girls Staters. Todd Neuharth and Todd Mize were selected as dele- gate and alternate.

It being their second year in HHS, they were allowed more variety of subjects than when they were freshmen. Among the required classes were English II, Biology I, and one math class. The sophomore candidate, Caly Cowan, was chosen as the new 1981-82 Homecoming marshall, and “Wipe The trojans” was the float theme. The second semester in English class was spent preparing for dif- ferent speeches that were required to be from one minute to six min- utes duration. The biology class spent part of the year dissecting. The juniors chose waiters and waitresses to serve at the prom banquet. With this job some plea- sures were awarded; the waiters and waitresses were included in the prom festivities of the dance and breakfast. Class rings were chosen near the end of the year in order to arrive during the summer before their ju- nior year.

The sophomore class sponsors for the year were Mrs. Sally Whit- ing, Mr. Ben Oswalt, Mr. Steve Matson, and Mrs. Connie Brugge- man. Class sponsors supervised float planning, and decoration for Homecoming, aided the salesman at ring selection, and stage decora- tion of commencement.

Since no certain day was designated, the students remained themselves. Tuesday, the confusion began with Too Big Day, Hat Day, and Mismatched Day. Students turned out in clothes too large, funny hats, and mismatched shoes. Stuffed animals and the word ‘no’ were popular on Wednesday. On Thursday, the marshals gave their campaign speeches. Candidates were: Scott Marks, senior; Lorie Klebsch, ju- nior; Caly Cowan, sophomore; and Jim Cermak, freshman. Thursday evening was corona- tion.

At 10:00 Friday morning the freshman and senior girls took on the sophomore and junior girls in the powder-puff football game. In the end, the sophomore and junior team came out victorious with a score of 8-0. Red and white were the colors worn on that day. The parade was held at 1:30 with the floats reflecting the theme “Cen- tennial and Commercials”. The evening brought a loss for the Pi- rates against the Faulkton Trojans of 47-0.

The scene for the prom was silver tear drops hang- ing from blue, yellow, green, and pink streamers. A bridge decorat- ed with flowered vines and rocks was in the center of the floor. In one corner there was white iron furniture surrounded by large plants. The banquet started at 6:30 with jr. class president Rob Hale welcoming the guests. Senior class president Cindy Ellsworth thanked the juniors on behalf of the senior class. Reverend Hil- more Williams gave the blessing and benediction. On the menu was cherry fiz, salad, round steak with mushrooms, corn, baked potatoes, bun and butter and raspberry de- light. After the meal Denise Haiwick ready the prophecy, Dona Stoley read the history, and Mike Youngquist read the wills. The Grand March started at 9:00. Music for the dance was pro- vided by the phenomenal band ’Ivory’ for the second year in a row. The dance was open from 10:00 till 1:00. A breakfast was served by parents of the jr. class at 3:00. Prom 1982 was officially over. One Act Plays Local Actors Perform Three One-Act Plays First year teacher Steve Matson directed the three one-act plays. The local actors performed three plays, one humorous and two seri- ous plays. The humorous play, “The Plot to Assassinate the Chase Manhat- ten Bank”, was a mcfuddled play about a befuddled man who has a little trouble with his first attempt to rob a bank. Mr. Dickenson, played by Ron Jetty, was head of personal loans at the Chase. Wil- bur Fuddle, played by Mike Youngquist, found out it was ea- sier to get a personal loan than it was to rob the bank. Mary Kay Boschee had the chance to act blind. She was Mrs. Oglesby who lived with her can- tankerous daughter. The play “Loving Kindness” didn’t seem to show even a hint of kindness. Ra- chel Sloat played the part of Flo- ra, the snotty daughter who was really quite kind. She read letters to her mother that were supposed to be from Roy. The mother and daughter played a game pretend- ing that Roy, Flora’s brother, was still alive and writing to them ev- ery week. “A Requiem For a Small Town” was the play chosen to perform at districts. The town of Aaron was turning into a ghost town because all the graduates were leaving. A court had been set up to con- vict all the citizens who had left in the past fifteen years. Judge Pick- ett, played by Bridget Nemec, pre- sided over the court, and Mary Wortman played the part of Nao- mie, the prosecuting attorney. When Bobby Joe Davis, Max Wortman, came home to visit his mother, he found himself being convicted for the murder of Aar- on. The final decision came down to the girl he walked out on fifteen years ago, Margie. Dona Stoley portraits Margie who decided the town is better off without Bobby Joe and found him innocent.

One Act Plays 45 r All School Play Student Director Fills In Lizzie Borden of Fall River was the play chosen for the all-school play. The play was under the di- rection of Mrs. Barbara Roseland. Four days before opening night the Roseland’s son, Aaron, decid- ed to put in his appearance. Julie Oligmueller, the student director, took over and did an outstanding job. Mrs. Busse, Mrs. Nemec, and Mr. Matson all contributed their time and experience to the play. There were two performances, one on the night of February 20 and one on the 21st. Dona Stoley did a superb job of portraying Lizzie Borden, the prime suspect for the brutal ax murders of Mr. and Mrs. Borden. Dona was an exciting actress throughout the entire play and had a very dramatic closing dia- logue. Max Wortman was Andrew Borden, a miserly old man who let his wife run him around. The hard and gauche mother was played by Susan VanDenBerg. On the night of August 4, 1892, Mr. and Mrs. Borden were found brutally murdered with a sharp edged object. Who could have done it? The play kept everyone guessing till the end. It offered many misleading clues. Lizzie’s sister, Emma, played by Mary Kay Boschee, found the ax in a hole in the fireplace, a place where only Lizzie and she knew. Lizzie gave a dramatic dialog and the play ended with everyone think- ing Lizzie did it. Some curious students checked the case out, and in a book entitled MISINFORMATION it was found. The real killer was Bridget, the maid, played by Lisa Olig- mueller ... maybe. 46 All School Play All School Play 47 OPPOSITE PAGE; TOP: Stoney Good Voice (Sousa) proudly displays his new ax.

Shannon Dan- cey, secretary-treasurer, Dona Stoley and Randy Houdek, sen- ior representatives, Tracey Boiler and Todd Neuharth, ju- nior representatives, and Ron Jetty and Megan Garrigan, Council Plans Homecoming sophomore representatives. Next on the slate was the planning of Homecoming week. Under the direction of Mr. Rog- er Hansen and Mrs. Sally Whit- ing, the council went to work. Homecoming week started out Tuesday with hat day, too big day, and mismatched shoe day. Wednesday, everyone was to bring a stuffed animal to school and it was “No No Day. Dress Up day and marshal candidate speeches were held on Thurs- day. Friday was red and white day with the parade in the afternoon and a powder puff football game in the morning. The student council worked at concessions throughout the year to raise money for future projects. Representing the student body next year will be council officers: Todd Neuharth, presi- dent; Julie Oligmueller, vice- president; and secretary-trea- surer, Tracey Boiler. Each class will have two representatives.

RIGHT: Jocelyn Gallagher shows a smile of pride at being able to brown hamburger all by herself without burning the meat. The home economics depart- ment took shape under the di- rection of Mrs. Gloria Haiwick. Topics covered in the courses offered were: Home Ec I which consisted of teenage problems, child development (nursery school), basic foods, and begin- ning clothing. In Home Ec II the main interests were food preservation, textiles and cloth- ing, meal management, and ad- vanced foods. The students in Home Ec III worked on ethnic cooking, furniture refinishing, and textiles and clothing. The Students Investigate Vocations areas covered in Home Ec IV consisted of crafts, crewel, needlepoint, dip and drape, weaving, and quilting. Bachelor living, which lasts one semester and is offered to senior boys, dealt with independent living. During his third year at High- more, Mr. Bill Mower taught Vocational Agriculture I, II, III, and IV. In Vo-Ag I the students were instructed in the area of crops, soils, range management, and basic crops. Vo-Ag II con- sisted of beef, swine, and sheep production, an introduction to welding, and farm carpentry. Electricity, welding, small en- gines, farm power and water management were the topics covered in Vo-Ag III. The finer points of farm management, re- cord keeping, job training, and farm power taught in Vo-Ag IV. Judging was also a part of Voca- tional Agriculture. 54 Vocational Arts ABOVE RIGHT: Jeff Gender puts his mechanical ability to use while grind- ing down a bolt.

Goofing off is always better than working on your accounting assignment. This year the business arts program was instructed by two teachers. They were Mr. Mark Hasz, and Mrs. Renee Gauer. Mr. Hasz was in charge of the accounting, business law, and Typing I classes. The main topics studied in accounting, which is a full year course, were ledgers, journaliz- ing, posting, trial balance, and balance sheets. The basic prin- ciples covered in business law, which was a semester course, were legal aspects, contracts, insurance, bailments, and sales.

One interesting project was assembling tiny motor boats. Mr. Smith conducted classes in Biology I, Biology II, chemis- try, and physics. Biology I cov- ered the science of life includ- ing the dissection of various or- ganisms. Anatomy and plants were the main essentials cov- ered in Biology II. Inorganic and organic were the two types of chemistry studied. These covered the Students Hit The Books man-made and carbon com- pounds. Some topics covered in phys- ics were acceleration, electric- ity, waves, and heat. The labs were improvised, as they used the equipment available and tried new projects. Mrs. Neuharth taught busi- ness math, while Mrs. Gauer taught sophomore vocational math. The two classes studied basic methods of mathematic functions, plus fractions, per- centages, and decimals. Algebra I, Algebra II, geome- try, and trigonometry were con- ducted by Mrs. Whiting. The basics of algebraic prob- lem solving were taught in Al- gebra I. In Algebra II applica- tion to this was learned. Proofs relating to congruency and si- mularity were included in ge- ometry. Trigonometry students stud- ied curricular functions, vec- tors, and 2x2 matrices. 58 Science And Math Fine Arts UPPER LEFT: A charcoal drawing is Jill Bruce's project. ABOVE: Karla Kerr puts the pieces to- gether to create her mosaic. LEFT: Karen Beastrom takes a final check on her oil painting. Art I, Art II, Art III, and Art IV were taught by Mrs. Jacque- lyn Neuharth. Art I centered around color and design. Pro- jects using elements of design and the basic color schemes were created. Beginning one, two, and three point perspec- tive were studied. Art II is mainly free hand drawing. Charcoal, pencil, pen and ink, pastels, watercolor, and oils were the media used. Art III was a handicraft course. The major projects were hand made paper, caligraphy, weaving, Variety Of Arts Taught leather work, and batiks. Art IV consisted of hand building clay articles. Slab, pinch, coil, and a combination of these were used to create projects. They were decorated by using applied, in- cised, impressed, and underg- lazing methods. The chorus department was headed by Miss Lola Lee, di- recting both grade school and high school choirs. They per- formed a Christmas concert, spring concert, and attended contests in Aberdeen. Mr. Ben Oswalt directed the band throughout the year. They performed in parades, at the Region Four Contests, and two concerts. The pep band played at the home ball games, wrestling matches, and also at the district XV basketball game for one night. They attended a band festival in Wessington and performed a concert that night with two other bands.

As in the past three years, P.E. was a required course for freshmen and sophomores who couldn’t work it in their fresh- man year. Volleyball, floor hockey, and dodgeball were some of the ac- tivities that were played in the gym. Softball, football, and soc- cer were played outside during the fall and the spring. The stu- dents also journeyed out to the bowling alley to learn how to keep score and become familiar with some of the finer points of Required Course For Freshmen Two Teachers Split Duties the game. Class was held sixth and sev- enth periods each day. Sixth period consisted of the band students and seventh period was everybody else. In past years, one teacher in- structed both classes, but this year the teaching duties were split between Mr. Hasz and Mr. Rogers. The kids in Mr. Rogers’ class had a special assignment. Each student had to explain to the other students how to do a cer- tain activity that they enjoy. Some examples were aerobics, basketball, and skiing. They also took part in a fit- ness test. This consisted of do- ing pushups, situps, and pul- lups. Most of the students com- mented that they enjoyed the outdoor games and bowling the most. 60 Physical Education Cheerleaders Nineteen Lead Chants And Cheers Seven Squads Direct Fans The Highmore fans were led in chants and cheers by nine- teen enthusiastic cheerleaders. Time and energy were exerted by these dedicated girls through football, basketball, and wrestling seasons. Mrs. Suhn was the advisor. The cheerleaders were divid- ed into seven different squads. The football cheerleaders confronted the cold weather, snow, and rain. Coronation and the weekly activities were planned by the cheerleaders and the Student Council. The varsity cheerleaders were Cin- dy Ellsworth, Marilyn Kusser, Karla Kerr, and Tracey Boiler. Mary Wortman, Janell Hou- dek, and Kari Griese cheered for the junior varsity football team. Varsity cheerleaders for girls’ basketball were Sarnie Dancey, Dona Stoley, Gina Durfee, and Denise Haiwick. Through the district and regional tourna- ments, Pam Faulstich was the mascot.

Athletic participation letters were awarded to the varsity cheerleaders. Twelve received their letters. Cheerleaders 63 Football Accident Creates Difficulties Three Coaches Guide Team own 40-yard line following a short kickoff. Two plays later, after the Statue of Liberty play and a short pass to Randy Hou- dek, the Pirates found them- selves on the 6-yard line. Lance Hertel bulled his way into the end zone as the final seconds ticked off the clock giving the Pirates the win, 18-16. On a cold night in Northwes- tern, the Pirates ended their season losing a tough game to the Wildcats by a score of 18-12. Mr. Surdez stated that 9-man football is a lot different, in that you have to rely on quick opening running plays and a lot more passing. Next year, with one year’s experience of 9-man football for the coaches and players, a good season is expect- ed. Due to a car accident, second year coach Ted Welke was per- manently injured and was forced to resign. One week be- fore the opening game, former coach Mark Gauer, assisted by Roger Hansen, temporarily filled the position. Three weeks into the season, Russ Surdez took over the coaching duties. After three weeks of becoming accustomed to his system, the Pirates won their first game. They defeated the Gettysburg Battlers by a score of 26-14. Still in high spirits, the Pi- rates knocked off the No. 2 ranked Stanley County Buffa- loes. With 2:49 remaining in the contest, the Pirates were trail- ing by a score of 16-12.

JV Football 67 I Girls' Basketball Varsity Squad Rebuilds Relinquish Regional Crown Under the supervision of third year coach, Don Rogers, and assistant coach, Roger Ed- wards, the girls’ ‘A’ basketball team accumulated a win-loss record of 19-4. The Lady Pirates were unde- feated up to their 13th win, which was a hard time coming. On the regular season they lost to Stanley County and twice to Wessington Springs. The first time by 14 points and the sec- ond time by one, which came in the semi-finals of the Central Conference Tournament. They defeated Sully Buttes for the third place trophy in the tour- ney. Afte' receiving a bye for the first round of the District Tour- nament, the Lady Pirates trav- eled to Onida to rout the Get- tysburg Battlers 48-37, earning their way to the finals. The girls repeated their District title from the previous year by walk- ing their way past the Sully Buttes Chargers. The team then moved on to Regionals at Miller. The Wol- sey Cardinals were their first victims. In the finals the Lady Pirates were forced to relin- quish last year’s crown to White River. The girls fell be- hind early in the game, but were never able to take the lead in the close fought battle. The starting five, which was made up of four juniors and one sophomore, will be back next year. The team only lost one person to graduation and that was top reserve, Mary Jane Lusk. Junior guard, Tara Corbin, was chosen for second team All- State. 68 Girls’ Basketball ‘A’ ‘A’ SCOREBOARD Opponent We They Faulkton 64 47 Harrold 67 16 Polo 69 49 Agar 45 41 Chamberlain 56 44 Lyman Co. 55 52 Miller 59 31 Harrold 69 23 Wolsey 50 42 Agar 42 40 Onida 57 45 Wessington 61 45 Wessington Springs 42 56 Stanley Co. 31 44 Faulkton 69 43 Miller 59 52 Wessington Springs 38 39 Onida 52 21 Gettysburg 52 36 DISTRICTS Gettysburg 48 37 Onida 48 32 REGIONS Wolsey 62 50 White River 36 40 ABOVE: Janell Houdek and Joanne Gaer set up the play while attempting to help Tracey Boiler look for the open shot.

Five of the losses came from the freshman and junior varsity games. The team was balanced out in the different positions to give the coach an even number of girls to work with. Experience seemed to play the key role for the team with over half being made up of sophomores and ju- niors. When the ‘B’ team was not seen practicing together, they could be seen down at the other end of the court working out with the varsity. They played defense or offense while the varsity played the opposing team. The ‘Bomb Squad’, as they later called themselves, was crowned LCAC Champion for the ‘B’ Squad Division. The underdogs were as im- portant at the games as they were in practice. They yelled their enthusiasm and showed their support to help with the rebuilding year of the varsity. Girls’ Basketball ‘B’ 71 Pirates Face Rebuilding Inexperience Is A Key Factor After the loss of three of last year’s starters to graduation, the young Pirate team was faced with a rebuilding year. Four seniors provided the lead- ership with one junior, four sophomores, and two freshmen making up the remainder of the team. First year coach, Mark Hasz, along with assistant coach, Roger Edwards, put the boys on a weight training program to improve their strength before the season started. The work they put in during practice and in the weight room didn’t show on the record, as they ended the year with a 4-20 mark. The high point of the season came when the Pirates defeated Stanley County 53-52 in a very exciting game. The Pirates led at all quarter stops, but had to fight off the Buffaloes come- back bid in the fourth quarter to get the win. In the districts Stanley Coun- ty gained their revenge when they defeated the Pirates in the first round. Mr. Hasz stated that next season will feature a young squad, but inexperience will not play as big a part in the out- come of many games because of seasoning gained this year. f ft 'im 54 48 3 72 ■v “A”SCOREBOARD Opponent We They Sully Buttes 49 58 Harrold 35 38 Crow Creek 66 72 Agar 39 73 Wolsey 43 53 Mobridge 41 75 BIG BEND TOURNAMENT Harrold 47 44 Lower Brule 57 66 Sunshine Bible 53 41 Miller 47 53 Gettysburg 50 60 Miller 47 62 Faulkton 52 91 Stanley County 53 52 Agar Chamberlain 37 81 46 64 Hitchcock 48 53 Wessington 63 57 Wessington Springs DISTRICTS 48 82 Stanley County 48 58 OPPOSITE PAGE: FAR LEFT CEN- TER: The opening tip-off shows Randy Houdek jumping as Rob Hale and Sam Dancey anxiously await the ball.

Boys’ Basketball ‘A’ 73 B Team Improves Record Edwards Looks Forward To Next Year Under the direction of Roger Edwards, the 1981-82 junior varsity basketball team im- proved from a 1-15 win-loss re- cord to a 9-10 record this year. The team began the year with four sophomores and eight freshmen but lost two sopho- mores to the varsity team two weeks into the season. The team was rather incon- sistent but had the ability to score, as they proved in a thrill- ing overtime win over the Crow Creek Chieftains. The final score was 61-56. Most of this year’s JV team will have to fill in next year the spots vacated by the seniors, but the experience gained dur- ing this season will help them immensely. Coach Edwards is looking forward to next year. He stated that he’s expecting a better sea- son next year.

Cow- man and Tigh Cowan. Russell Surdez took over the reins as head coach, while Bill Bower assumed the assistant coach po- sition. Guiding the younger grapplers were the eight return- ing lettermen. They included John Lusk, J.P. Cowman, Gary Heckenlaible, Lance Hertel, Brett Stirling, Doug Kroeplin, Tim Knippling, and Tigh Cowan. Newcomers Greg Ells- worth, Barry Knippling, and Joe and Curt Pekarek compiled the rest of the varsity squad. The Pirates had a disap- pointing duel season, winning only three competitions, one of them being the annual parent’s night, when the Pirates brought the crowd to its feet with a heart rendering one point victo- ry over the Ipswich Tigers. As in years before, strength in in- dividuals showed at tourna- ments. The matmen attended a total of seven tournaments, placing at least one person in each one.

Since Highmore instituted its wres- tling program 13 years ago, this was the best the grapplers had done in the conference which consists of such powerhouse teams as Mobridge, Chamber- lain, Faulkton and Miller. Highmore put on its best showing of the season at the Lyman County tournament. On January 9, while it was storm- ing outdoors, the wrestlers were wrestling up a storm inside. John Lusk, J.P. Cowman, Lance Hertel, Gary Heckenlai- ble and Tigh Cowan registered first place championships with Doug Kroeplin placing second. Cole Rinehart captured third, while Barry Knippling received fourth. Because of the blizzard, the grapplers were forced to spend the night in Kennebec, but on Sunday they brought home the second place team trophy, losing to Stanley Coun- ty by ten points. The outstand- ing wrestler of the tournament was awarded to Highmore (be- ing won by J.P. Cowman). The Onida Invitational again gave the wrestlers a chance to show individual talents as they placed six people. UPPER LEFT: Doug Kroeplin warms up before a match by jumping rope. Wrestling 75 Four Qualify For State Cowman Gives Outstanding Performance Four Pirates earned the right to go on to regions at the dis- trict tournament in Gettysburg. Tigh Cowan placed first and J.P. Cowman received second. Gary Heckenlaible and Doug Kroeplin both captured fourth. Ninety-eight pound sophomore John Lusk, who held the best record on the team, was elimi- nated from competition at dis- tricts. He finished the season with a 13-3 record. In the re- gional tournament in Mo- bridge, returning champions J.P. Cowman and Tigh Cowan faced rematches of last year’s championships. J.P. tangled with Tim Lawrence of Mo- bridge losing a 9-6 battle. Tigh met Mobridge’s Jeff Martin and was defeated. Doug Kroe- plin and Gary Heckenlaible placed fourth, also earning a berth at the state tournament. The Watertown Arena was the scene of the 1982 State Wrestling Tournament. J.P. Cowman staged an unforgetta- ble performance, losing only one match in the two day tour- nament. J.P. lost to eventual state champion Gene Hoffart of Redfield by an 8-4 decision. Coming through wrestlebacks, Cowman faced Tim Lawrence again; this time J.P. defeated Lawrence with a 9-1 victory and a third place state medal. Tigh Cowan, who was rated number 1 earlier in the year, was forced to default because of illness. With the loss of two seniors, Tigh Cowan and Doug Kroeplin, the nucleus of the grappler team will return next year. OPPOSITE PAGE: UPPER LEFT: ‘A' TEAM: FRONT: L. Hertel, G. Hecken- laible, B.

Wrestling 77 Determination Pays For Girls 10 Qualify For State Under the direction of head coach Mr. Roger Edwards and assistant coach Mr. Mark Hasz, the 1981-82 girls’ track team started the year with 26 girls. They proved to themselves that hard work and determina- tion would pay off. Workouts, for the first ime, were to be held on the new asphalt track. Throughout the season the girls did a fine job and repre- sented Highmore very well by placing high in the meets they competed in. The hard work was shown when ten girls qualified for the state meet which was held in Sioux Falls. Mary Jane Lusk, rated as one of the top contend- ers all season, received the 1st place medal in the Class A dis- cus competition. Other events that qualified for the state meet were: 3200M-relay of Cindy Ellsworth, Shannon Dancey, Janell Haiwick, and Carmen Arendt; 1600M-relay with Cin- dy Ellsworth, Janell Houdek, Carmen Arendt, and Sharon Schillinger; 800M-relay with Twyla Mize, Tara Corbin, Jan- ell Houdek, and Sharon Schil- linger. T. Mize ran the 100M dash and S. Schillinger ran the 200M dash. Tracey Boiler re- presented Highmore in the 100M hurdles and Mary Lusk also qualified in the shot put. 78 Girls Track OPPOSITE PAGE: ABOVE CENTER: Mary Lusk is shown displaying her 1 form.

This enabled the tracksters to get the feel of a “real” track. Practicing on it was delayed by a late snowfall. Workouts were moved to the gym and the boys ran stairs in the high school. Participation in track was up, with 23 boys out. Head coach Don Rogers and assistant Mark Hasz put the boys through their wor- kouts each day. They won the Regional and the Rotary Relays, while they placed second in the LCAC, Central Conference, and the Wolsey Invitational. The 800M relay and the 1600M relay were the two re- lays that qualified for the state meet held in Sioux Falls. At state Gary Heckenlaible placed third in the 100M dash and fourth in the 200M. He also ran a leg on the winning 800M re- lay, along with Randy Houdek, Mike Ashdown, and Rob Hale. Rob Hale brought home a fifth place medal in the 300M hur- dles. Members of the team that qualified for the state meet but did not place were Chad Good- rich and Henry Bucholz.

Boys Track 81 Golf Interest Grows Seven teen Participa te Participation in golf was at its peak this year in Highmore. A grand total of 17 boys and girls attended four meets. Coaches Roger Hansen and Sal- ly Whiting alternated responsi- bilities. Freshman Kelly Whiting was the standout for the boys. Kelly placed in the top 3 of all the meets and captured first place at the Faulkton Invitational Meet. Tara Corbin was the medalist for the girls; she also placed in all the meets and cap- tured first place at Highmore and Miller meets. The Regional Golf Tourna- ment was held at Lee Park in Aberdeen. Only four boys and four girls could attend from each town. Highmore’s boys’ team consisted of Kelly Whit- ing, John Lusk, Guy Childs, and Rob Hale. The girls’ team was made up of Kim Williams, Kari Griese, Tara Corbin, and Janell Houdek. The girls’ team received the third place trophy. Tara Corbin advanced to state after obtaining fifth place at re- gionals. In state competition Tara was awarded eleventh place. Coach Sally Whiting com- mented that she was pleased to see the great interest in golf and she hoped it would continue in the upcoming years. 82 Golf GOLF MEETS Highmore Miller Faulkton Warner Regional State OPPOSITE PAGE: FAR LEFT: STAND ING: Tracey Scott, Kari Griese, Janell Houdek, and Tara Corbin.

The team of Ellsworth, Mize, Dancey, Sloat, and Gallagher placed 14th in the state. Experience was lacking in boys’ cross-country. They were all young enough to run as a Over 200 Miles junior varsity team. That didn’t stop them from doing well, however. In fact, both the boys’ and girls’ teams consistently ranked near the top of the field. The success didn’t come easi- ly, though. Many of the runners accumulated over 200 miles in practice.

Three ensembles and two solo- ists also acquired superior markings. During the course of the year, the band was found playing at the various sports activities, pep meetings, Boys’ Districts, and marching in the Homecom- ing parade. They competed in the Huron Pow Wow Day pa- rade, coming home with a third place marking. In March they traveled to Wessington to par- ticipate in a band festival along with two other schools. Eight band members were given the honor of being chosen for Huron College’s Honor Band. There were also seven band members who were select- ed to be inducted into the Who’s Who Music Foundation. Throughout the year the band worked to raise money for new band equipment. One of their fundraisers was sponsor- ing a dance with the band “Fes- tival” as the entertainment. The John Philip Sousa Award, which is given each year to an outstanding senior, was awarded to Denise Haiwick. The band’s last formal ap- pearance was May 7, when they presented their annual Spring Concert.

The jazz workshop, in its second year, was also under the direction of Mr. Ben Os- walt. The weekly practices, usually held on Monday nights, were put to good use when the band performed at the Christmas Concert doing a number of se- lections. The highlight of the year was getting to see Maynard Fergu- son in concert. Mr. Oswalt took nine of the sixteen jazz band students to Marshall, Minneso- ta to see the professional trum- pet player. Those students at- tending were Gina Durfee, Mary Kay Tabbert, Kelly Whiting, Dona Stoley, Kari Griese, Max Wortman, Guy Childs, Mike Youngquist and Dale Griese. Throughout the year the jazz workshop, composed of some of the concert band students, worked on such techniques as improvisation and the various scales. The jazz workshop, because of its youth, did not compete at any of the contests around the area because it was felt that the students were not prepared. Jazz Band 89 Chorus Chorus Sees Director Change This year’s chorus started out under the direction of Miss Deb Binder. After a month, Miss Lola Lee took over the position. The chorus was kept busy sing- ing at various concerts. Home- coming, Christmas, nursing home and baccalaureate were a few of them. All-State Chorus delegates were chosen in the fall. Those people selected to attend were Thea Johnson, soprano; Dona Stoley, alto; Max Wortman, tenor; and Tom Gallagher, bass. Alternates were Bridget Ne- mee, Mary Kay Boschee, Kelly Whiting and Gary Rittel. No- vember 6-7, the members trav- eled to Sioux Falls for many hours of practice. April 2 and 3, the chorus at- tended the Region IV Music Contest in Aberdeen. The group was awarded 2-two and a three rating for their effort. Small groups attending were girls’ glee, madrigal, and boys’ glee. Highmore also had six so- loists compete. In the spring, the students busied themselves with prep- arations for “Cabaret”. 90 Chorus OPPOSITE PAGE: TOP: Gary Rittel plays his guitar at “Cabaret”.

The madrigal was composed of singers Max Wortman, Lisa Oligmueller, Gary Rittel, Brid- get Nemec, Kelly Whiting, Dona Stoley, Dana Zeigler, and Karla Kerr. This group per- formed music from the renais- sance. They competed at con- test. The swing choir did a routine to the song “Dream.” The group presented their dance in the spring at “Cabaret”. Stu- dents selected for the swing choir were: Kim Williams, Dave Oligmueller, Max Wortman, Thea Johnson, Gary Rittel, Mary Wortman, Brent No- votny, Mary Kay Boschee, Chad Goodrich and Dixie Myers. In the spring the second an- nual “Cabaret” program was held. The chorus sang music from the Beach Boys and Neil Diamond. Soloists and small groups also performed. Soloists were Dona Stoley, Max Wort- man, Melody Aasby and Brid- get Nemec. Kim Williams and Mary Wortman sang a duet.

Finishing fourth at the state debate tournament in Mitchell were Mike Youngquist and Lisa Oligmueller, negative, while Ju- lie Oligmueller and Megan Gar- rigan composed the affirmative half of the team. The Highmore team was defeated in the quar- ter-final round by Clear Lake who went on to take second place. Throughout the year Pam Faulstich, David Oligmueller, Janell Haiwick, and Rachel Sloat debated novice while Mike Youngquist and Lisa Olig- mueller went champ. The nov- ice travelled to two tourna- ments, one which was held after school in Huron. Their record was 0-8. Madison hosted the Karl Mundt Tournament, where our debaters record was 3-7. The consensus of the nov- ice team was the year had been a good learning experience. Under the direction of second year debate and declam coach, Barbara Roseland, the High- more High School oral inter- pretation students performed well at the local declam contest held in the high school library. Bridget Nemec received a supe- rior for her cutting from “Where the Lilies Bloom.” Those advancing to district contest but not acquiring supe- riors were: Lisa Oligmueller, se- rious prose, “Flowers in the At- tic”; Denise Haiwick, poetry, “Death of the Hired Man”; Dona Stoley and Max Wort- man, drama duo, “Star-Span- gled Girl”; Gary Weidenbach, humorous, “Jimmy Jones Stud- ies Geography”.

FBLA FBLA Works Toward Convention Paper drives, concessions, and selling valentines occupied the time of the FBLA members. The 1981-82 officers were in- stalled at a candlelighting cere- mony held in the south park with a picnic supper following. President Lisa Oligmueller brought her first meeting to or- der on September 11, in which she discussed the goals and problems that would be facing this year’s Future Business Leaders of America’s member- ship. The deadline for member- ship was set as October 31. Dues were $3.50 and payable to the FBLA secretary, Todd Neu- harth. The members that would be going to state were required to participate in a mini-conven- tion held at Highmore where they were expected to sharpen their business skills. They also participated in a business skills contest at Northern State Col- lege in Aberdeen. The 1981 spring FBLA convention was held in Rapid City at National College. Mike Youngquist placed first in Accounting I and fifth in parliamentary proce- dure, while Denise Haiwick placed second in office proce- dures. At the last meeting the 1982- 83 officers were elected. Julie Oligmueller and Todd Neu- harth will head the club as president and vice-president while Gina Durfee will take over the duties of secretary- treasurer, Diane Schmidt and Kim Kindopp will jointly fulfill the duties of historian, and Kari Griese will be the official 1982 reporter.

In this meeting he dis- cussed the new rules that had been set the year before regard- ing the publication of the Pirate Journal. They were as follows: all editors were to have their materials in by the Friday be- fore printing, and all reporters and photographers were to have their work in by the Mon- day of publication if the Pirate Journal was to be printed on the second and fourth Wednes- day of every month. The Pirate Journal staff ac- companied the Hosidak editors to Press Day in Brookings on October 12. The paper didn’t win any awards, but with the criticisms set forth the editors started the year trying to im- prove the paper. The first major change was the addition of ed- torials to each issue of the pa- per. Senior editors, Mike Youngquist and Lisa Olig- mueller, took turns laying out the paper, each editor taking two issues at a time. The last four issues of the Pirate Journal were laid out by the junior edi- tors, Julie Oligmueller and Todd Neuharth, with the help of the senior editors and the staff of the Highmore Herald. The 1981-82 staff consisted of eight full time reporters, one photographer, and four editors, with help from various athletes writing feature spots on their particular fields of endeavor. When asked, Mr. Matson said that the year had gone well. ABOVE: The 1981 82 Pirate Journal staff: FRONT ROW: Dixie Myers, Dave Oligmueller, Kim Williams.

Mrs. Jacquelyn Neuharth explained the fundamentals of publishing an annual to the new editors. South Dakota State Universi- ty campus was once again the site of the High School Press Day. Arising at 6:30 a.m. is no mean feat in itself but coupled with 144 miles of travel and an epoch of lectures, it makes for a rather long day. Although no awards were received it was a fun day. During the year the editors worked at the concession stand for athletic activities in hopes of making money for the pur- chase of photographic supplies. At the beginning of the year, sophomore and junior editors sold ads in the Highmore area, while the senior editors, Mike Youngquist, Max Wortman, and Lisa Oligmueller sold ads to surrounding towns. Awards night held special in- terest for Susan VanDenBerg, Julie Oligmueller, and Todd Neuharth as they were named senior editors for the 1982-83 school year. Mike Youngquist received a a photography award for time spent with a camera around his neck and hours in the dark- room. A tradition of a pizza, pop and tossed salad supper around Christmas had to be foregone this year because of conflicts. They expect to have it next year.

Hisodak 99 NHS Society Conducts Orientation The National Honor Society took a more active part in the school than in years past by conducting freshman orienta- tion. Members illustrated ser- vice and leadership by intro- ducing next year’s freshmen to high school. Organizations, ac- tivities and classes were de- scribed by NHS members. New members were inducted at the annual NHS luncheon held April 28, 1982. The speak- er, State Auditor Vern Larson, challenged members and their parents to be the best they can be at what they do. All those accepted as new members were sophomores. They were Guy Childs, Pam Faulstich, Kari Griese, Megan Garrigan, Diane Schmidt, and Kim Williams. A constitutional amendment eliminated the provisional membership status for sophomores, making them full members. Students Keep Organized The grade school library was kept organized by two student librarians under the supervi- sion of head librarian Connie Bruggeman. Dixie Myers worked every Tuesday after- noon, and Dixie Hemminger spent Thursday afternoons in the library. They kept things running smoothly by checking books in and replacing them on the shelves. They also got to straighten things out after the little kids ahd searched for their favorite books. Many people helped with the photography. Mike Youngquist did almost all of the darkroom work and the general photogra- phy for the Hisodak and Pirate Journal. Dave Clausen took track pictures, and Kari Griese and Ron Jetty could often be seen with the school camera taking pictures around the school and at school activities. Many others were also present to help when they were needed, often contributing time and equipment.

Some of the activities included a safety pro- ject, displayed at the crop show, and competing in various judg- ing and leadership contests. Selling fruit and cheese was the fund raising project this year. The money was used for the annual April banquet, and trips taken by the group. The livestock judging team of Steve Peterson, Bret Stirling, Martin Buchholz, and Scott Marks received second place in the Tulare Livestock Judging Contest. Bret Stirling had to settle for second place in the individual events, after a tie breaking procedure. At the state FFA convention held in Brookings, Scott Marks took first place in sheep profi- ciency. He received a plaque and a one hundred dollar check for his efforts. Bret Stirling, Tim Knippling, Martin Buch- holz, and Paul Knox also re- ceived awards. Advisor Bill Mower stated that he hoped to see the inter- est in FFA continue.

The vice-president was Bret Stirling, and secretary- treasurer was Cindy Ellsworth. The Rodeo Club had three ad- visors: Martin Bonnichsen, Todd Cowan, and head advisor Marty Wortman. The Rodeo Club sponsored the annual Thanksgiving dance, and raffled off a thirty- thirty Winchester rifle and a hog. The Rodeo Club was twenty- six members strong. During the year monthly meetings were held. A lot of hard work and organizing went into planning the Mother’s Day Rodeo. The Mother’s Day Rodeo is a pra- cice rodeo held early in the year so cowboys and cowgirls can get a feel of the sport again before the regional rodeo. The Ken Aasby memorial award was given to the all- around cowboy Tigh Cowan. Results from the Regional Rodeo were not available due to the fact that this annual was completed on time.

Agnes Goodrich, a high school custodian, resigned just two weeks after school started; also during the year, head cook Romona Kautz resigned. First year custodian Roger Kutz was hired as the other cus- todian for the year, and none other than his wife, Carolyn Kutz, took over the responsibil- ities of Agnes Goodrich. Due to the rainy and snowy year, they were both kept busy keeping the halls and rooms shiny. Darlene Dalton took over the head cooking job. She and her three assistants, Betty Philips, Ella Weidenbach, and Dorothy ABOVE RIGHT: Custodians for the year are Roger and Carolyn Kutz. FAR RIGHT: Superintendent's secretary is Nadine Stephenson.

Barnett, fed the kindergarten through twelfth grade five days a week. They also prepared meals for six country schools. The cooks were assisted by stu- dent helpers. They worked part time washing dishes and clean- ing up. Highmore High school had the same dedicated secretaries for the past three years. Nadine Stephenson acted again as the superintendent’s secretary; she handed out padlocks and nu- merous other tasks. Geneva Feildsend was again the secre- tary for the principal. Geneva sold lunch tickets and handed out tardy slips. 104 Service Staff GRADES jjp cdt k.

In the world... Argentina’s surprise war with Britain over the Faulkland Is- lands caused controversy among the United Nations. The solidarity movement suffered a major setback when martial law was imposed in Po- land. Charles Philip Arthur George, the Prince of Wales and heir to the British throne, mar- ried Lady Diana Spencer. Anwar Sadat, president of Egypt, was assassinated. Moshe Dayan, the Isreali statesman-soldier, died of a heart attack. On the national scene... The trial of John Hinckley, the man who tried to assasinate President Reagan, began. An Air Florida jet crashed into a bridge spanning the Po- tomac River leaving 78 dead. Sandra O’Connor was ap- pointed as the first female Su- preme Court justice. President Reagan continued . . .Apart, But Still A Part the draft registration policy. On the state level... John Mathis was acquitted of the murder of his wife and two children after a three-week- long trial. South Dakota’s sale of Mis- souri River water to ETSI, Inc. caused bitter sentiments in down-river states. State purchases of aban- doned rail lines continued in an attempt to bring the railroad back to common use. On the local front ... The city was busy preparing for its centennial celebration to be held June 18-20. Many old buildings were torn down, and new fronts were built on others to improve the city’s appear- ance. The Co-op Elevator burned to the ground in June of 1981. In the entertainment field... The San Francisco Forty- Niners won the Super Bowl. The Los Angeles Dodgers won their fifth world cham- pionship when they defeated the New York Yankees in the sixth game of the 1981 World Series. The top grossing films were “Raiders of the lost Ark”, “On Golden Pond”, “Porkeys”, and “Chariots of Fire” which was also chosen as the best picture. At the top of the pop chart were the songs “centerfold”, “Physical”, “Jessie’s Girl”, “I Love Rock and Roll”, and “We Got the Beat.” Sixty Minutes remained at the top of the television ratings. The world mourned the un- timely deaths of entertainment personalities John Belushi and Natalie Wood. Each of these events had its effect on HHS, for even though it exists apart. . . ... it is still a part. 136 Closing I
