Taking into con- sideration that the annual is a pictorial history of what has transpired during the year and that the annual is actual a “storehouse” of memories, we chose “Treasure Chest of Memories . In the staffs effort to compile the yearbook we have tried to get a fair representation of all the times that HHS students spend together, not only the good but the bad. In doing the Hisodak we have learned much about what makes up the total memory, and how we influence each other in our thinking and doing. Years from now or maybe just tomorrow when the memories grow faint, dull and faded like an old photograph we will be able to look back over this book and remember the times we spent together whether they bring a tear to our eyes or a smile to our face, they will be the special memories we hold of 1982-83. We feel that it takes both the happy and sad to make memo- ries, that is why we have tried to include the lost friend and new acquaintance, the winning game ana the losing efforts, the plays that went off without a hitch and the ones that didn't, for all the times make up all the memories.

I love you, my friend You're quite dear to me, A true friend you are And always will be. But you're leaving me soon And going your own way. Perhaps we will meet In the future some day. You’ve left me with memories Of good times we’ve had, To treasure forever And make me feel glad. I wish you good luck In all that you do May all of life's pleasures Come your way, too. Farewell now, my friend And please may you find Some thoughts of me Always in your mind. -Karen Huang- _ L HISODAK Editors: Todd Neuharth Julie Oligmueller Cover: Jacquelyn Neuharth Advisor: Jacquelyn Neuharth II daydream� her way Rogers' human anatomy h Mr rough n iv class. 2 Student Life Student Life '.i ABOVE LEFT: Mary K.

Students learned to op- erate calculators, the transcrib- er, computer, and studied rules of filing, along with a review of the typing of business letters. They learned the routines of a secretary, and were required to do a term paper and a bulletin board. They also took timed writings two times a week. Typing is a one year class opened to all students. Partici- pants learned basic principles of typing, including letters, memos, tabulation, manu- scripts, and term papers. They took one, three, and five minute timed writings. Advanced Business Math in- volved the study of decimals, fractions, percentages, weights and measures, along with the metric system. Students went over checking accounts, interest and discounts. Mr. Hasz’s business classes included Accounting and Busi- ness Law. Accounting dealt with ana- lyzing business transactions, and the preparation of financial statements to give an overall picture of business dealings. Business law was a one se- mester course that dealt with the creation, implementation, and premise of law. The stu- dents spent time on individual and consumer rights, which then lead to discussions on con- tract law. Various speakers were brought into supplement the instruction.

Mrs. Haiwick instructed the home ec classes, while Mr. Simon was in charge of vo ag. Home Ec I dealt with child de- velopment, nutrition, basic food preparation and personal appear- ance. In Home Ec II, students learned the basics of food preser- vation, meal planning, and con- sumer economics. Home Ec III consisted of foreign and ethnic foods, clothing repair, parenting, and clothing construction. Home Handicrafts were taught to Home Ec IV students. Home Ec V cov- ered independent living (food preparation, meal management, home and clothing care). Mr. Simon, a 1982 graduate of South Dakota State University, taught four vo ag classes. Vo Ag I consisted of plant sci- ence, judging of crops, identifica- tion of weeds, and production of crops. Topics of interest to Vo Ag II students included animal sci- ence, and the judging and produc- tion of livestock and meats. Ag Mechanics'(welding, small gas en- gines, and electricity) was dealt with in Vo Ag III. Vo Ag IV, farm management, was the study of farm law and farm records.

Mandatory Physical education was once again a required subject for the freshmen class. The students participated in many activities during the year such as football, soccer, softball, hockey, bad- minton tournaments, dodge- ball, and volleyball. They learned the basics of wrestling and gymnastics. A unit of bowling was held to Active teach the students the finer points of the sport and to teach them how to keep score. This was enjoyed by the students. The 6th period class consist- ed of band students and the 7th period class of non-band stu- dents. Mr. Hasz took over the duties instructing both the 6th and the 7th period classes from Mr. Rogers. UPPER RIGHT: Henry Bucholz catches his breath after a hard fought softball game.

The official festivities began on Tuesday with people dress- ing the part of their favorite punk rock personage. Wednesday was definitely not the day to put on your “Sunday go-to-meeting” clothes. As 8:40 drew near the halls began to fill with people dressed in the worst garb they could find. Paper hats of every description adorned the head of many. The student council treated the student body to lollipops. On Thursday everyone broke out their best duds as it was dress-up day. During the morning marshal speeches were given on the front lawn of the school after which ev- eryone went back to class to vote on royalty and marshal candidates. Vying for the posi- tion of marshal were senior Curt Pekarek, junior Guy Childs, sophomore Dale Griese, and freshman Henry Bucholz. Filling the ballot out were King candidates Steve Peterson, Lance Hertel, and Rob Hale with Queen candi- THIS PAGE: ABOVE RIGHT: Jeff “Savage” Genzler shows his Mo- hawk before he goes on the warpath.

Student Body Presi- dent Todd Neuharth opened the evening program with the introduction of candidates. Junior Guy Childs was an- nounced Marshal and took over the responsibility of MC from Todd Neuharth. Steve Peterson and Lorie Klebsch were crowned King and Queen. After the ceremony the student body and commu- nity gathered behind the audi- torium for the burning of the ‘H’ and a short pep meeting. As tradition dictated, Fri- day was set aside as Red White Day. Instead of the usu- al parade, a softball game had been scheduled but due to in- ert weather conditions a vol- leyball tournament was held at the auditorium with class going against class. In the afternoon the student council staged a kangaroo court. A pep rally followed. Friday night the Pirates lost their game to the Sully Buttes Chargers by a score of 28 to 14. This is but a memory and so is now locked away in our treasure chest of memories. A BO VE CENTER: Gary Clausen at tempts to make a scary face while Glen Comstock looks on.

Pink, burgundy, and sil- ver streamers set the atmo- sphere at the Hyde County Me- morial Auditorium. A carriage, also decorated in the chosen colors, and a swing were set in the corners. The banquet started at 6:30 p.m. with junior class president Caly Cowan welcoming the guests. Senior class president Rob Hale thanked the junior class for presenting the prom. Reverend A1 Cinnamon gave the blessing and benediction. On the menu was: tossed salad, barbequed beef, baked pota- toes, California blend vegeta- bles with cheese sauce, rolls, and cherry cheesecake. After the meal Joanne Gaer read the class history, Steve Schmidt read the prophecy and class choices, and Mark K. Tabbert read the wills. The Grand March began at 9:00 p.m. with the couples walk- ing out through an archway of streamers and were introduced on the bridge. “Quick Release” provided the music for the evening. The Junior-Senior Prom of 1983 is but a memory locked away in the treasure chest of memories. Prom 51 One-Act Plays Humor Is The Choice Actor Receives A Superior Miss Karen Cory, Chapter One Teacher, was the director of the one-act plays and Julie Oligmueller was the assistant director. Both plays were hu- morous. “The Plumber’s Apprentice”, was about a young lady appren- tice, played by Bridget Nemec, who was a little nervous about her craftsman teacher, Rog, portrayed by Ron Jetty. The young apprentice, Sally, had a hard time pleasing her uncoo- perative journeyman. In the end, Sally became a craftsman, and Rog, the plumber, was hon- ored as a master craftsman. The second play, “Freebies”, was about the women’s depart- ment staff of the “News Times”. The controversy starts when the managing editor, Mr. Har- rington, played by Todd Neu- harth, decided that the wom- en’s department needed a new editor. It was at this time that Karl Merganthaler, portrayed by Dave Oligmueller, was hired. At first the staff, played by THIS PAGE: ABOVE BIGHT; Actor and actress for the play Plumber's Ap- prentice” are SITTING: Ron Jetty. STANDING: Miss Corey and Bridget Nemec.

There’s always a “sore” loser, Claude Henry, played by Steve Oligmueller, thought that with his “superior” knowledge of the newspaper industry, he should have gotten the job. In the end, Claude was out of the picture, Karl was hired, the girls were happy, and Mr. Har- rington got the last word in ... Again. “Freebies” was the play se- lected to compete in the Divi- sional play contest. The play received an excellent rating. Senior Todd Neuharth received a “Superior Acting Award.” ABOVE RIGHT: Crew for Freebies are KNEELING: Julie Oligmueller and Char Faulstich. STANDING: Tracey Scott, Mary K. Tabbert, and Joan Durfee.

The central theme of “Spir- it” dealt with the idea that one’s talents don’t run out when you reach a certain age. The residents of Happy Hollow, the nursing home, still enjoyed such things as lis- tening to Don Ho records while doing the hula, ordering out for pizza, and playing pok- er ever Wednesday night, even though it was strictly forbid- den. The cast of players includ- ed: Julie Oligmueller as Clara Panowski; Esther Oriole, pro- trayed by Bridget Nemec; Pam Faulstich as Arby Cle- ments; Ms. Monroe played by Mary Wortman; Tracey Scott as Ms. Wells; the policewo- man played by Diane Schmidt; Ron Jetty as Joe Johnston; and Todd Neu- harth as Mr. Dobbins.

In class, its members researched cases, compiled files, and worked on proper debate tech- niques. Outside of class, the ten debaters attended three confer- ence debates in Mitchell, the Ringneck Invitational in Aber- deen, and the Karl E. Mundt Invitational in Madison. Two teams, a novice, a varsity, and two alternates, could be seen before dawn on many cold win- ter mornings loading the files for another debate trip. Several debaters also chose to participate in individual events at the debate tournaments. Both extemporaneous speaking and declam kept the debaters constantly watching the time so they wouldn’t miss a round.

The season was quite short because no one advanced to the Region Contest. Both declam and debate strengthen the speaking skills and research abilities of the participants. These skills will be treasures that are hard to equal and which will never be lost. 60 Debate And Declam LEFT: Kari Griese presents the “Busi- ness of the Month” award to Duane and Mary Canode.

Members Honor Businesses Observe FBLA Week The Future Business Leaders of America started the year with 14 members. Julie Olig- mueller was elected president with Todd Neuharth, vice- president; Gina Durfee, secre- tary treasurer; Kari Griese, re- porter; and Kim Kindopp and Diane Schmidt, historians. Each month a business was selected by the members to re- ceive an award, a cake, recog- nizing the achievements and contributions that business made to the community. Two business contests were attended throughout the year, one at Northern State College in Aberdeen, and the State Convention held on the campus of NSC, April 10-12. At the State Convention, Julie Olig- mueller received a proficiency award for her contributions and achievements in FBLA. Several money-making pro- jects were held to raise money for contest fees. At Christmas the members sold cheese and sausage. They also sold conces- sions several times during the year at basketball games. FBLA Week was held Febru- ary 13-20. Each day outstand- ing members of the various business classes were recog- nized for their achievements. The days of the week had spe- cial activities planned for the members including a day in which they were encouraged to dress like people in the profes- sional business world. Future Business Leaders Of America 61 Club Holds Rodeo Raffle Jeans To Raise Money Raffling off a pair of Wran- gler Rivets and sponsering the annual Thanksgiving dance were two fund raisers that Brett Stirling carried out as president of the Rodeo Club. With secre- tary Caly Cowan and assistants Dixie Hemminger, Deb Hirsch, and Shannon Cowan, Stirling conducted the monthly meetv ings. The 24 members which made up the Rodeo Club were ad- vised by Keith Aasby and Jerry Suhn. They worked hard and did a lot of planning for their annual Mother’s Day Rodeo. They planned a public barbe- que in the South Park in order to defray the cost of their rodeo. The reason the Rodeo Club helds so many fundraisers and raffles this year was best summed up by secretary Caly Cowan: “The Rodeo Club is not affiliated with the school and receives no financial support or is even recognized to a certain extent by the school.” ABOVE RIGHT: Barry Knippling and Steve Peterson discuss the upcoming event.

Start With High Hopes FFA Members Place At State Twenty-four members strong, the Highmore Chapter of the Future Farmers of Amer- ica started the year out with high expectations. Mr. Gerald Simon, adviser, and the rest of the FFA chapter were kept busy preparing for the many projects and state competitions. Three senior boys were allowed to go to the Denver Stock show, they were Tim Knippling, Cole Rinehart and Brett Stirling. Brett Stirling received 7th place and Tim Knippling re- ceived a 12th place in cattle judging. Mike Gadd placed 5th in beef showmanship. High- more received a bronze medal in Building Our American Community. Throughout the year, the FFA sold fruits and took over the concecession stand in an at- tempt to raise money. This was used to defray the cost of the annual spring awards banquet and the trips they took. Future Farmers Of America 63 Trips Highlight Year Fund Raisers Major Emphasis The Future Homemakers of America planned three trips. The officers working with advi- sor, Gloria Haiwick, and the ad- visory board used their leader- ship qualities to obtain this goal. On November 1st they trav- eled to the Regional Meeting in Faulkton. Thirteen action acti- vity events were awarded supe- riors and advanced to the state level. Tracy Scott received sec- ond in the Beef Cook-Off. Lisa Konrad, Tracy Scott, and Pam Faulstich received their Chap- ter Degrees. In December each member picked an elderly per- son to adopt as their grandpar- ent for the year. Various fund raisers were held including a KGFX game against the Jay- cees, and ice cream social, half- court shot, and selling rolls and juice before school. During National FHA HERO Week the chapter held a March of Dimes Mother’s March, set up a display, in the library, and had a Dairy Coun- cil representative give an as- sembly on nutrition and the athlete. March of Dimes Pep Squad member, Pam Faulstich presented a program, “Affects of Drugs on the Unborn Baby.” The Sweethearts’ king and queen were John Lusk and Pam Faulstich. Caly Cowan, Joanne Gaer, Joe Pekarek, and Tim Knippling were the attendents. The state meeting was held in Sioux Falls. Nine superiors and four excellents were award- ed to the action activity partici- pants. Mary Wortman and Lisa Konrad received their State De- grees in a special ceremony. To finish a year of hard work, the FHA’ers took a trip to Min- neapolis. They attended the Omni Theater, a Twins game, and a play at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater.

FHA 65 Pauses Plague Paper Pirate Journal Not On Time A young staff and numerous interruptions in publishing pla- gued the senior editors of the Pirate Journal. Editors Todd Neuharth and Julie Olig- mueller were responsible for the assignment of stories, proofing of stories, and the final layout of the paper. As often happens when a staff is com- posed of young writers who are involved with a variety of other activities, deadlines were not often met. The addition of a darkroom technician took much of the work load off of photographers, Kari Griese, Megan Garrigan, and Todd Neuharth. Junior editors Kari Griese and Tracy Scott assisted the senior editors in the day to day operation of the high school paper. The eleven reporters, Dave Clausen, Chad Goodrich, Ron Jetty, Bridget Nemec, Lisa Konrad, Kelly Whiting, Dave Olig- mueller, Kim Williams, Megan Garrigan, Diane Schmidt, and Mary Wortman contributed to the publication of the paper. Both the Hisodak and Pirate Journal editors went to Press Days in Brookings in an effort to better the publication.

And miles to go before I sleep.” This line from Robert Frost’s poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” best described the Hisodak edi- tor’s annual trip to Press Days at the South Dakota State Uni- versity in Brookings. Even though the 1982 Hisodak wasn’t judged, the staff attend- ed in order to sharpen their skills. Advisor Jacquie Neuharth once again had the duty of in- structing the four newly elected sophomore editors: Dave Clau- sen, Kelly Whiting, Janell Haiwick, and Dave Oligmueller. While she performed this task, the senior editors, Todd Neu- harth and Julie Oligmueller, were busy choosing a theme and drawing up the mini-lay- outs. The rest of the staff, Guy Childs, Kari Griese, and Kim Williams, were visiting the area businesses to sell ads. The ads and concessions at the ball games were sold to raise money for the publication of the Hiso- dak. Due to the fact that the staff members are involved in var- ious activities, the Hisodak meetings often went late into the evening. As the hours went by it was discovered by the sen- ior editors which staff members were most dedicated. Attention was often diverted by the “sophomore humor”, the di- gesting of food, and the fixing of tapes. It was for these rea- sons that the staff had to work two weeks after school was out in order to finish the Hisodak. Hisodak 67 Library Moves Grade And High School Combine Four student librarians helped Mrs. Connie Bruggeman to keep the grade school and high school libraries organized. Kenneth Schillinger, Cheri Kusser, Kim Kindopp, and George McKelvey worked dur- ing their study halls. Photographers were kept busy throughout the year cov- ering school events. Tim Moy- sis worked in the darkroom de- veloping film and printing pic- tures. Todd Neuharth and Kari Griese took pictures for the Pi- rate Journal and Hisodak. Rob Hale, Tracy Scott, Dave Clau- sen, and Megan Garrigan had their turns at covering co-cur- ricular activities and student life. Moments captured by the photographers will go into the treasure chest of memories. TOP: One of Cheri Kusser's main jobs as student librarian is cataloguing books and straightening magazines.

The list of new members in- stalled into the society consist- ed of one junior and three soph- omores. They were junior, Tra- cy Scott and sophomores: Dale Griese, Kelly Whiting, and Jan- ell Haiwick. Officers for 1982-83 were, Ju- lie Oligmueller, President; Guy Childs, Vice-President; Kari Griese, Treasurer; and Pam Faulstich, Secretary. The Society conducted 8th grade orientation for the second year. The members introduced next year’s freshmen to high school activities, classes, and organizations.

The night was filled with pop music, rock n’ roll, and a tune made up of TV commer- cials. Ron Jetty was the Master of Ceremonies for the evening and threw in some witty jokes to keep the atmosphere relaxed. The girls’ chorus sang a medley of songs called “For Women Only”. To end the Cabaret the swing choir performed a song called “Soft Shoe”.

Four towns came together on March 15 to sing as a mass group in an evening concert. Three of the numbers per- formed were “Heartlight”, “Joy In The Morning”, and “Clap Your Hands”. Kelly Whiting, Dave Olig- mueller, Bridget Nemec, and Kim Williams were chosen by director, Lola Lee, as All-State Chorus delegates. The alter- nates were Brent Novotny, Ste- ven Oligmueller, Mary Wort- man, and Jodi Smith. Seven solos, a duet, and a trio were taken to the Region IV Music Contest. Bridget Nemec and Kim Williams received su- periors. The girls’ glee received a three rating. The full chorus was judged on two songs, “The New 23rd” and “Break Forth 0’ Beauteous Heavenly Light”.

This gave them an overall superior rating at the Region IV music contest held in Aberdeen. Three ensembles and six solo- ists received superiors. The band could be seen per- forming at a number of events, including two band festivals, one at Miller and another at Al- pena, a Christmas and a spring concert, pep meetings, and many home sports events. The marching band traveled to Hu- ron to compete in the Pow Wow Day parade. New marching band uni- forms were purchased during the year to be used in next year’s competitions. Many individuals were awarded for their efforts in band. HHS had five members chosen for Huron College’s Honor Band. Five were induct- ed into the All-American Hall of Fame Band.

Jazz Band Performs First Annual Concert Held The jazz band, in its third year, had a much busier sched- ule than the previous years. Along with the First Annual Jazz Concert, held in De- cember, and a spring concert, the band provided entertain- ment at Awards Night. In May, the group performed at a school assembly for Crow Creek High School. Practices were held two days a week, one during band class on Friday and the other on Monday nights. During prac- tices, musicians learned about jazz scales, rhythms, and im- provisation. The band consisted of five saxophones, three trombones, six trumpets, five percussion- ists, and two guitars, making it the largest in its history. The band was directed by Mr. Ben Oswalt, and consisted mainly of the concert band musicians. For the first year, a jazz band award was presented to a band member. Guy “Wally” Childs was given the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award, by the vote of his fellow band members.

These girls made up five squads; they painted signs, planned pep rallies, and worked on routines to help build enthusiasm. Three squads, girls’ basket- ball, wrestling, and B team boys basketball, attended the first annual Pierre Pep Rally on November 27. The girls’ basket- Rolling Pierre ball cheerleaders competed in a 15 minute stage presentation. They were judged on execution, enthusiasm, and continuity. They brought home a second place trophy for their efforts. At the final home game of each season, advisor LeAnn Suhn helped the girls plan par- ents night in which the girls were hostesses for the partici- pants and their parents.

Head Coach Mr. Roger Edwards along with Assistant Coach Mr. Mark Hasz, put the girls through lengthy and strenuous practice sessions. The girls track team was composed of twenty-five girls, from junior high through high school. With only five of the members being seniors, the leadership quality was con- veyed by the underclassmen. The strenuous practice ses- sions proved successful when the girls qualified seven for the state meet to be held in Madi- son and Sioux Falls. Events eli- gible to compete at the state meet were: the 800M relay of Sharon Schillinger, Tara Cor- bin, Lorie Klebsch, and Janell Houdek; 1600M relay of Sharon Schillinger, Mary Zastrow, Car- men Arendt, and Janell Hou- dek. Mary Zastrow ran the 800M run and Julie Haiwick ran the 100M and 200M dash. “The squad was composed mostly of young girls and should be quite a threat next year,” stated Edwards. The girls really showed us what they were made of during state competition. The 800M relay and 1600M relay placed second in finals. 80 Girls’ Track OPPOSITE PAGE: ABOVE CEN- TER: Tracey Boiler shows off her form as she leaps over a hurdle during re- gional competition.

The Pirates proved reputable in individual events which shone through but the overal performance of the team was not outstanding. Four boys succeeded in quali- fying for the state meet to be held in Madison and Sioux Falls. Those who qualified to compete in state events were: the 800M relay composed of Gary Heckenlaible, Henry Bu- cholz, Jim Cermak, and Rob Hale, Individual competitors at the state meet were Jim Cer- mak in the triple jump, Rob Hale in the 100M hurdles, 300M hurdles, and 200M dash.

Boys’ Track 83 GOLF Weather Delays Season Two Qualify For State Rainy weather and a late snow held up the progress of the golf team. This wet climate, along with gusty winds, denied the squad practice time and made golfing tough. Once the weather cleared, twenty-one golfers “hit the links” in prep- aration for a total of six meets. The girls squad proved to be tough to beat, winning the first two meets in Faulkton and Highmore. A foursome com- e sed of Tara Corbin, Janell oudek, Kari Griese, and Kim Williams competed at regions in Aberdeen. Although the full team didn’t qualify for state, two golfers, Kim Williams and Tara Corbin, placed fifth and eighth respectively, enabling them to compete at the state meet in Huron, where neither was able to place. Tara Corbin was awarded most valuable and Kim Williams was chosen most improved. The boys team was not as competative as the girls due to inconsistency. Even though the team failed to place at meets, individuals were able to place. Kelly Whiting was medalist at the Highmore meet and second at Faulkton, while Dave Clau- sen placed sixth at Highmore. The team that golfed at regions consisted of Guy Childs, John Lusk, Kelly Whiting, and Dave Clausen. Awarded for their golfing were Dave Clausen as most improved and Kelly Whiting as most valuable. “Both teams should be much improved next year, losing only one member between the two regional teams. A large crop of beginning golfers will help in the development of the team in future years,” stated Coach Sal- ly Whiting.

Six seniors led the Lady Pi- rates through the season. Five juniors and one sophomore made up the remaining ‘A’ squad. Three Saturday games were added to the schedule. These introduced new playing floors and stronger opponents to im- prove the team’s experience and skills. Early in the season, the ‘A’ team traveled to a dou- ble-header in Parkston to play Wakonda. This was the team’s first loss 52-51. The Mitchell Classics were played in Wess- ington Springs where a 10 point difference brought defeat by Salem. The third addition was a close game, with Ipswich out- playing the Pirates 61-58. The Lady Pirates grabbed the Central Conference crown for the first time after defeating Chamberlain, Wessington Springs, and Mobridge. Tara Corbin was chosen for the Cen- tral All-Conference Team. The girls received a bye in the first round of the district tournament and fell to the Get- tysburg Battlers in the second round. Highmore brought home the District 15 third place tro- phy after stomping the Stanley County Buffaloes. Two school records were broken in the last game. Tara Corbin raised her individual points per game record from 42 points to 46 points. She also aided her team in breaking the total points record with 86 points. L. Klebsch, T. Boiler, and T. Corbin received LCAC All-Conference team honors. Tara was a candidate for Miss Basketball and made first team All-State.

This year’s ‘B’ team accumulated a 10-12 win-loss record. Through- out the year the team, com- posed of one junior, three soph- omores, and nine freshmen gained valuable experience from the many workouts and games. The players on the bench proved just how important subs can be with the enthusiasm they provided and the reassur- ance that they were always ready if they were needed. This was especially important in mid-season when as many as three or four players were out at a time, due to injuries or illness. The freshmen were at a loss for words when they lost a hard fought battle to the Pierre Freshmen in double overtime by one point. The Highmore- Pierre games seemed prone to overtimes with two of four matches ending in overtime. Each team took home one OT win. The year ended with two wins as the squad realized that it takes everyone working as a team to win. The cooperation and teamwork the girls learned showed that the future is still bright for Highmore’s girls basketball team. The “Sheep Squad’s” memories are locked away in life’s treasure chest ...

They knocked off some highly regarded teams, such as Faulkton and Hitchcock, and gave Mobridge a run for their money; but, they suffered some disappointing losses. In defeating Faulkton, the Pirates clinched a piece of the North Central Conference crown. The following week they had a ch’ance to capture a share of the Little Central Ath- letic Conference, but lost to the Buffaloes of Stanley County. Against 12th rated Hitchcock, they roared to a 52-19 lead at halftime, and coasted to an 87- 73 win. The most disappointing and important loss came when ABOVE RIGHT:Sam Dancey and his teammate Rob Hale battle for a re- bound.

They featured a young squad, with Rob Hale being the lone senior on the ballclub. Head Coach, Mark Hasz, had this to say about the season, “Improvement was seen despite the inconsistency. A number of players saw action during the season and the experience gained will be invaluable. The future does look promising con- sidering the experience, num- bers coming back, and some tal- ented young players anxious to step in and play.” 90 ‘A’ Boys Basketball FAR LEFT: Rob Hale shows his form as he goes up for the jumper.

The team was made up of six sophomores, six fresh- men, and one junior. Jon Dean, the lone junior, was in his first year of competitive basketball. Dave Clausen moved up to the varsity squad after two games, and a few key players were re- stricted to limited action so they could play in the ‘A’ game. One of the more exciting games of the year occurred when “Eddie’s Idiots” (Mr. Ed- wards’ pet name for the team) defeated the Wolsey Cardinals 46-43.

RIGHT: Todd Surdez powers up for the jump shot as Dale Griese blocks out his opponent, and Galin I .a rso n waits for the outcome of the play. the Pirates to squeak by with a victory. The Wessington Springs game was a real crowd pleaser, however the Pirates felt they came out on the short end of the stick with a loss in overtime, 52-51. The purpose of the junior varsity was to get playing ex- perience before they are moved up to the varsity level. In addi- tion, during practice they re- presented the upcoming oppo- nent by setting up the opposi- tion’s offenses and defenses. This helped the varsity greatly in their preparation for each game. 92 ‘B’ Boys Basketball FAR LEFT: Coach Edwards gives George McKelvey last minute instructions, as the guys on the bench pay close attention to the game.

Under second year Coach Russ Surdez and Assis- tant Coach Mick Goodrich, the Pirates compiled a 5-3 record. Coach Surdez took advantage of the team’s speed and quick- ness by installing a powerful ra- dar defense that bruised its way to three shutouts. After losing to Lyman Coun- ty in the first game of the year, the Pirates reeled off three straight wins before losing to Sully Buttes in the Homecom- ing game by a score of 28-14. A week later the Pirates traveled to Gettysburg to battle the ele- ments, as well as the second rat- ed Battlers, on a freezing, rain soaked field. The game lasted two overtimes before Gettys- burg pulled out an 18-12 victory on a touchdown pass. In the last game of the year, senior Lance Hertel totalled 29 tackles, a new school record, in a 38-0 victory over Northwes- tern. Hertel, along with seniors Gary Heckenliable and Rob Hale and junior Jeff Morford, were named to the all confer- ence team. Mr. Surdez summed up the season by stating, “We had a very good season. We could have been a playoff team if some of the breaks would have (went) our way. Next year we will have good size and most of our line will be returning, but we will be losing some key play- ers in some of the most impor- tant positions.” RIGHT: FRONT ROW: G. Larson, G.

Besides drilling the Varsity to perfection every night, the JV compiled a 1-2 record. A 20-0 decision over the Mill- er Rustlers was the lone victory against two hard fought de- feats. The Pirates lost at Sully Buttes to the Charger JV team by the score of 26-20. After fall- ing behind 20-0 in the first quarter, the defense went to work. While the defense worked, the offense shined with a touchdown at the end of the half and two more in the fourth quarter. With the score tied at 20 and less than two minutes left in the game, Sully Buttes scored the winning touchdown and held the Pirates defensive- ly to gain the victory. Although the JV team didn’t have a winning record, the ex- perience they gained will prove invaluable as they fill in the va- cancies left by the graduating seniors.

This was due to the inexperience of the squad, with only three runners returning from last year. However, two first-year runners, Janell Haiwick and Sherlyn Vlcek, qualified for the state meet. The boys team, consisting of two sophomores, three fresh- men, an eighth-grader, and a seventh-grader, all ran mainly in the junior varsity races, with some runners competing in var- sity races when necessary. Due to a lack of runners, the girls squad could not enter as a full team most of the time. However, individuals carried the load and all placed in varsi- ty events at some time during the season. Usually consisting of three races, a cross-country meet starts with the JV boys running a distance of 1.8 miles, followed by the girls varsity competition. Finally, the varsity boys run in a race of 3.2 miles to close out the meet. In preparation for the meets, practices consisted of a warmup jog of two to three miles, a se- ries of timed one-half and one mile runs, and a two to three mile warm-down. Coach Mary Edwards com- mented, “Both teams partici- pated in ten meets throughout the year, and improvement could be seen over the course of the season. An example being the 1.8 mile race, where times improved anywhere from 30 to 60 seconds.” ABOVE LEFT: Freshman Sherlyn Vlcek reaches for her place card from Mr. Biegler as she crosses the finish line.

Hard work brought a 2-5 dual record. Although the dual mark wasn't outstanding, the grapplers were always at the top of the tournament team standings. Seniors Jeff Genzler, J.P. Cowman, Cole Rinehart, Gary Heckenliable, Lance Her- tel, Tim Knippling, Curt Pe- karek, Brett Stirling, and Steve Peterson led the younger wres- tlers through the season. By December 4th, Head Coach Russ Surdez and Assis- tant Coach A1 Cinnamon had the team tuned up for tourna- ment action. They placed fourth at the Kimball Invita- tional with Gary Heckenliable and J.P. Cowman taking first place and John Lusk and Cole Rinehart each grabbing third. Due to a large number of in- juries, the matmen had to for- feit many spots on the varsity roster, these vacansies resulted in many lost points. An exam- ple of the effect of the injuries was seen in a 55-9 loss to Hoven in which the Pirates forfeited 6 matches. On the annual parents night match, the Pirates downed Selby 54-18. Gary Heckenliable, Curt Pekarek, and Tim Khippling each contri- buted points to the effort by providing pins. With this year’s team being senior dominated, next year’s squad will be very young and inexperienced with only a few lettermen returning.

After third and fourth place finishes in his previous two years of state tournament action, Cowman brought home another third place finish. He ended the year with a 25-4 record. Along with Cowman, Gary Heckenliable and John Lusk both advanced to region action only to come up short on their bids for the state tournament. At the annual awards night, Jeff Genzler was named most improved wrestler while J.P. Cowman was named most valu- able. Gary Heckenliable re- ceived the quickest pin award, sticking his man in 12 seconds. 100 Wrestling 101 sapeJi) sjcHomsttc ®aeH® Assemblies And Computers Add Interest To Grades This year proved to be one of reat excitement for the grade stu- ents. Headed by Principal Phyl- lis Scott, the students had a chance to meet people from many fields of work and with many dif- ferent interests at assemblies, they also worked with the computers. These along with their regular ac- tivities proved to keep the stu- dents very busy. Grade school custodian Millie Sanderson retired this year after more than twenty years of dedi- cated service. Mary Jo Hirsch filled this position and was soon used to the many responsibilities accompanying the job. Three computers were made available to the students in grades K-8. One computer was kept in the Chapter I room (formerly the Title I room) for use there and the other two were placed in class- rooms. The Jr. High students practiced basic programming and learned how to use the printer and floppy disks. Mrs. Suhn held counseling ses- sions in the grade school for indi- viduals and groups. Her counsel- ing was mainly to provide the stu- dents with better self concepts and awareness to prevent future problems. During the year four assemblies were held dealing with such topics as: magic, frisbees, rodeo, and the NASA program. Presenting a hu- manities program was Dr. David Miller, a professor at Black Hills State College. He portrayed Levi Davis, a buffalo runner. Mr. Oswalt gave instrument les- sons to 4th through 8th grade stu- dents. He had Jr. High Band every day and a 4th and 5th grade band Mondays after school. Both bands showed great improvement and Mr. Oswalt is really enthusiastic about these talented upcoming musicians. Many of the students were glad to see the end of the school year come but they will always have a treasure of memories from these years. 102 Grades OPPOSITE PAGE: TOP LEFT: Mrs. Phyllis Scott, grade school principal, gives a cheerful smile.
