1 i n i J 1984 HISODAK Volume 62 Hyde County Independent School District 34-17 Highmore, South Dakota 57345 Title Page PREFACE The choosing of a theme for the annual is one of the first of many tasks that we, as senior editors, arc responsible for. We chose “Pirates Capture '84“. As you page through the annual and each separate sec- tion, you will see how each of the memories is captured and stored somewhere in the back of our minds. After we leave HHS, and the memories become cloudy and nearly forgotten, we can look back and recapture the years of 1983-84. Our education and environ- ment has a very important ef- fect on our future, either the near future or many years from now, we can look back on the experiences and captured memories presented in this year's annual and see some of the things that molded us into the people we arc.

The week’s activities began on Tuesday with the freshman slaves” serving their “masters by carrying books and doing other odd jobs. The freshmen were acutioned to the up- per classmen the previous week with the proceeds going to the Student Council to pay for pizza and pop which were served at the Homecom- ing Dance. Wednesday brought out a number of unusual costumes. Clowns, hobos, and students dressed as the opposite sex roamed through the halls. Thursday morning brought Sun- day clothes out of the closet for Dress-Up Day. Marshall speeches were given and afterwards the stu- dents returned to their classrooms to vote for a Marshall. The Marshall’s duties were to oversee coronation of the royalty that night and the parade the following day. The Marshall can- didates were: freshman, Jeff Sel- chcrt; sophomore, Lori Childs; ju- nior, Pam Kusser; and senior, Barry Knippling. The royalty were also chosen at this time from candidates Janell Houdek, Caly Cowan, Kim Williams, John Lusk, Guy Childs, and Sam Dancey. Coronation was held Thursday night. The 1983 King, Steve Peter- son, returned to crown the 1983 roy- alty. Music was provided by the high school band. Caly Cowan, the 1982 Marshall, introduced the 1983 Mar- shall, Barry Knippling, who then took over as master of ceremonies. King Guy Childs and Queen Kim Williams were crowned. The crown- bearers were Roxy Wheelhousc and K.C. Gregg. Entertainment was pro- vided by each class in the form of a skit based on a commercial. A high- light of the evening was the Pirate Defense's rendition of the Pepsi Light commercial in which the team proved that they could sing as well as they could play football. The traditional burning of the ‘H’ and a pep rally followed the coronation festivities. On Friday the students’ enthusi- asm and excitement showed as the classes built their mini-floats on the theme “Commercials” for the pa- rade. Friday night the Pirate fans came out to witness the Pirates’ victory over the Faulkton Trojans by a score of 12 to 6. The after-game disco and pizza party proved to be a successful com- bination as a large number of fans and the team celebrated the victory.

The second play was titled “The Quiet Place . It dealt with some seri- ous problems of teen-agers: drug abuse and peer pressure. Sheila, por- trayed by Megan Garrigan, mourns for her dead boyfriend, who died of accidental overdose. Tony, Patsy, and Steve, a high-school gang, visit Sheila to tell her that they had noth- ing to do with Danny's death. The play climaxes to an explosive argu- ment between Sheila and Tony.

They were under the guidance of Mrs. Sal- ly Whiting and Mrs. LcAnn Suhn. The six squads of cheerleaders which were chosen by the student body had various jobs that they were to perform. They were to represent the town, increase the school spirit, and keep the crowd under control. As well as fulfilling these obligations they also made signs and planned pep rallies. The Girl’s Basketball squad, with the help of the crowd, had the privi- lege of receiving the Sportsmanship award for the District 15 Basketball Tournament. “Cheerleading has been an ex- citing experience.” -Kari Griese With the help of the advisors, the cheerleaders held their annual Par- ents Night which is to show the ap- preciation of the players for their hard work, and the parents for their support.

The team went through a year of rebuilding. Losses due to graduation left the team with only one starter from the previous year, so it was up to the seniors to fill their positions. Although it took time, the team was able to pull together by mid-season and made teamwork the key to suc- cess. New red uniforms gave the Lady Pirates a new look as they visited teams around the area. They also seemed to give the team an edge, for most of the team’s victories came on the opponents' home floors. The Pirates took part in the Cen- tral Conference Tournament again this year. In the first round the team defeated the Chamberlain Cubs, but in the second game they fell to the ranked Miller Rustlers. Mobridge defeated the Pirates on the final night of the tournament, but the team look home fourth place honors and placed one player, Janell Hou- dek, on the Central Conference Tournament Team. District time rolled around once more and the Pirates started out by soundly defeating the Harrold Car- dinals in the first round. Gettysburg put an end to the hopes for a District 15 title in the second game, and the final game for the Pirates was also a disappointment when Agar went home with the victory. “The record doesn't tell the story.” -Roger Edwards After the season drew to a close, Janell Houdek and Charlene Faul- stich were named to the Little Cen- tral Athletic Conference Team. Four of the starting five turned in their uniforms for the last time and left junior Charlene Faulstich the leader- ship role. They will be missed, but will have their memories captured forever, never to be released. 20 ‘A’ Girls’ Basketball A’ SCOREBOARD OPPONENT WE THEY Hitchcock 42 50 Miller 39 52 Polo 50 51 Agar 32 56 Chamberlain 60 62 Crow Creek 57 47 Lyman County 39 70 llarrold 49 25 Agar 34 43 Wolsey 56 42 Sully Buttes 32 42 Ipswich 43 67 Wessington Springs 39 41 Stanley County 44 45 Chamberlain 44 28 Miller 54 70 Mobridge 34 52 1 aulklon 55 49 Gettysburg 50 51 DISTRICT 15 TOURNAMENT llarrold 50 23 (ictt)sburg 32 48 Agar 37 47 OPPOSITE PACE: UPPER RIGHT: Senior cenicr Dixie Hemmingcr stretches for the rebound.

'A' Girls' Basketball 21 ‘B’ GIRLS BB Team Learns The 'B' girls basketball team un- derwent a change in coaches this sea- son with Paul Peterson assuming re- sponsibility for a young and inexperi- enced team made up of two juniors, seven sophomores, and two fresh- men. In spite of this, they were still able to accumulate a record of 9-7. We have played, up until now, fairly inconsistently. We have enough talent and ability to give almost any team a good game. -Paul Peterson Practice sessions for the team in- cluded a substantial amount of time playing cither with or against the varsity squad. Several of the team members filled spots on the varsity bench and gained valuable exper- ience from the playing time they re- ceived. The season taught the girls many things, not only about basketball, but also about cooperation, team-work and leadership. They were sorry to see it end and to realize that another year had passed by, but all look to next season not so very far away.

A total of sixteen boys and girls took part, with some runners doubling cross- country with football or girls basketball. Inconsistency pla- gued the team, because of the amount of the football and bas- ketball players’ practice time. However, the teams were able to compete and gain exper- ience for next year. The girls team was consis- tently among the leaders in their meets. They won both the Little Central and the Central Conference meets as well as finishing second at Miller, Redfield. and Herreid. The boys squad wasn't as competi- tive as the girls team; however, they received second place fin- ishes at the Little Central and Central Conference meets. Due to the decreasing enroll- ment in high school, our teams were switched from Class A to Class B for the regional and stale meets. At regions, Danny Lusk placed 12th, Janell Haiwick earned 13th place, and Fran Ballew was 14th, en- abling them all to run in the state meet. The girls team just barely missed qualifying for the state competition. At slate, Lusk received 30th in the boys race. For the girls, Haiwick placed 31st and Bal- lew finished 58th out of a field of 102 runners.

Cross Country 23 ‘A’ Football Pirates Win Conference Fall In Playoffs Under third year head coach Russ Surdez and first year assistant coach Steve Selchert, the Highmore foot- ball team readied themselves for the 1983 season with hard practices in very hot weather. The many hours of practice paid off as the Pirates claimed an undisputed conference championship and rolled to a 9-0 regular season record. After knocking off two non-con- ference foes, the Pirates had to go into overtime before defeating a stubborn Ipswich team 12-6. Victo- ries over Sully Buttes and Gettys- burg, two top-ten teams, gave High- more a 2 ranking in the state “Almost everything went our way.” -Russ Surdez 9AA poll. The Pirates stayed at the number two spot for the rest of the season behind the eventual state champion team from Montrose. The Stanley County Buffaloes, an- other top-ten team, invaded High- more only to be turned back 14-0. In the annual parents night game, the Pirates blanked Leola 30-0 and clinched the NCAC title. A week later Polo was the victim in a 49-0 drubbing. A main factor in the success of the season was the powerful defense of the Pirates. In six of the nine regular season games, the defense shut out it’s opponent. The rugged radar de- fense also allowed fewer than 100 yards in six of the games. The Pirates were unsuccessful in their first attempt ever in the state playoffs. An 8-7 loss to the eventual runner up Sully Buttes Chargers ended the season. After the season. Sam Danccy, Chad Goodrich.

Other victories were against Miller, Sully Buttes, and Lower Brule while the Stanley Coun- ty and Gettysburg contests ended in defeat. The junior varsity team was a ma- jor factor in the success of the varsi- ty. They drilled the varsity offense and defense to perfection every night in practice.

'JV' Football 27 ‘A’ BOYS BASKETBALL Pirates Win Districts Capture Third In Region The beginning of the 1983-1984 boys basketball season was a time of high optimism. The first game of the season quickly brought an end to the Pirate’s hopes of an undefeated sea- son as they were shocked by Sully Buttes 48-44 in the three conference game. After a 1-3 start, the Pirates came back with a twelve point victo- ry over a highly regarded Wolsey Cardinal team, giving them a 2-3 re- cord going into the Christmas break. The Pirates lost their next two games before going to the Jones County Invitational tournament. In the first round game the White River Tigers nipped Highmore 47-46. The Pirates came back with two impres- sive victories. 59-39 over Stanley County and 73-48 over Kadoka, to claim the consolation championship. The annual parents' night game saw the Pirates defeat the honorable mention Wessington Warriors 50- 43. In the final game of the regular season, the Pirates lost to fourth “A very satisfying season in a great many respects ... one to definitely build upon.” -Mark Hasz ranked Wessington Springs 73-60, sending them into district action with an 8-11 record. Highmore received a bye in the first round of the district tournament and had to play the heavily favored Gettysburg Battlers in the semifin- als. A Sam Dancey shot put the Pi- rates ahead 40-38 with less than ten seconds left in the game. The Pirates then picked off a Gettysburg pass and held on for the vitory and a shot at the district championship against Agar. In the championship game Highmore jumped to an early lead only to lose it in the third period as Agar battled back. The Pirates made pressure free throws down the stretch to claim a 58-51 victory and their first district championship in seven years. Jones County, with an 18-3 re- cord, was the Pirates' first round op- ponent in the Region 4 tournament. The highly rated Coyotes were taken to the limit by the underdog Pirates. Highmore actually had a chance to win in the final five seconds, but a shot attempt missed and a foul was called on a Pirate, giving Jones County a chance to win from the free throw line. The Coyotes made both free throws enabling them to escape •with a 56-54 win. The Pirates fin- ished the season with a win, captur- ing third place with a 50-47 victory over Wolsey. After the season senior Sam Dan- cey was named to the NCAC all- conference team while senior Jeff Morford was named to the all-Cen- tral conference team and the LCAC all-conference team. Juniors Jim Ccrmak and David Clausen were both named to the LCAC all-confer- ence team and the Central confer- ence honorable mention squad. ‘A’ SCOREBOARD OPPONENT WE THEY Sully Buttes 44 48 Harrold 61 50 Crow Creek 75 83 Ipswich 55 83 Wolscy 64 52 Miller 45 58 Mobridge 44 61 Jones County Invit.

One of the sophomores, Henry Bucholz, split time with the varsity throughout the season. The team racked up a 4-12 record during the year. The team suffered through a 0-8 start before collecting their first win, a 55-34 victory over Agar. The Pi- rates collected their second victory in their next game, a 43-32 victory over Miller. After losing their next three games, Highmore reeled off two more victories, 38-30 over Hitchcock and 34-27 over Wessing- ton. In the final game of the season, the Pirates lost to Wessington Springs 55-54 in a very exciting game. Although the B-team did not have a winning record, the experience they gained will aid them greatly in their varsity competition.

Guiding the team were only five returning lettermen. They inv- ludcd Chad Eldccn and Tork Cowan, freshmen; Greg Ellsworth, a junior; and John Lusk and Barry Knippling, seniors. The Pirates had a disappointing dual season, winning only one com- petition. This win was against Sun- shine Bible Academy grapplers with a score that was double theirs. As in years before, strength in individuals showed at tournaments. The team attended five tournaments, placing at least one person in each one. Wrestling is where friends be- come opponents. -Gerard Simon The second annual Highmore In- vitational was held Saturday. Janu- ary 21. Highmore placed 6th out of eight teams with the following indivi- duals placing in their respective weight classes: Morris Reber, 4th; Greg Ellsworth, 3rd; John Lusk, 2nd, Barry Knippling, 2nd; and Les Smith, 3rd. Another highlight of the tournament was when Scott Wcis- chcdel of Onida broke the state re- cord for the most wins in a high school career. Greg Ellsworth, Chad Eldecn, and John Lusk earned berths in the Re- gional Tournament held in Fort Pierre, but only freshman Chad El- dccn advanced to the State Wres- tling Tournament in Watertown. At the annual awards night in May. sixteen wrestlers and three stu- dent managers received letters. They were Morris Reber, Charlie Bloo- menrader, Chad Eldeen, Tork Cowan, Paul Smith, Les Smith, Greg Ellsworth, Gary Wcidenbach, Tracy Cook, Paul Knox, George McKelvey, Joe Pekarck, John Lusk, Barry Knippling, Jon Dean. Tim Ellsworth, Dena Bloomenrader, Tra- cy Surdez, and Chcri Kusser. John Lusk received Most Valuable; Chad Eldeen captured Most Improved, and Greg Ellsworth earned Most Dedicated.

The clinic was set up to help improve your swing, form, and your whole game of golf. Twenty-five golf pros came to instruct golfers and coaches from around the tri-state area. The first trip taken by the golfing team was to Parkston and Tyndall. They shot a practice round at Park- ston and then drove on to Tyndall for a tournament. This was a very large meet, and no one came home with a placing. “The whole team represented the school well!” Sally Whiting The next trip was another long drive to the Parkston meet. Al- though rain caused a delay, Kelly Whiting came home with an 8th place finish and Kim Williams placed 9th. The Highmore golfers took the Highmore golf meet easily. Guy Childs, Kelly Whiting, and Dave Clausen placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd re- spectively, while the girls did equally as well. Kim Williams placed 1st, Janell Houdek 3rd, and Patty Kilber placed 4th. Seven golfers went to Regions at Pierre. The team did very well plac- ing 2nd, qualifying the whole team for state at Yankton. Kelly Whiting placed 2nd and John Lusk placed 8th for the boys. The girls placed Kim Williams at 8th. Janell Houdek at 9th, and Patty Kilber at I Oth. Kelly Whiting, who placed 9th at state, was named most valuable for the boys, while most valuable for girls was Kim Williams.

Golf 35 TRACK Individuals Break Records Team Numbers Are Down Highmore held its first varsity meets on the new asphalt track. A warm-up meet was held early in the season with Harrold and Miller in attendance. The Action Club spon- sored the Highmore Invitational in which 16 teams participated. Smaller numbers than in previous years were prevalent in both the girls’ and boys’ teams but those that were out worked hard. The junior high members found themselves fill- ing the voids on relay teams and at- tending the varsity as well as junior high meets. School records were set in the girls’ mile, 1600M, and 800M runs by eighth grader Mary Zastrow. Dan Lusk cut over thirteen seconds off the school record in the boys’ 3200M run and Jim Selchert added inches to the triple jump record. Individuals were our strength, numbers our weakness. -Roger Edwards The Watoma Relays in Water- town proved exciting and highly competitive when the team attended it for the first time. Two third place medals were brought back, one by Zastrow in the 1600M run and the other by Lusk in the 3200M run. Jim Selchert earned a second place in the triple jump. The final event of the day brought a most unexpected and a thrilling win for the girls in the I600M relay. The runners, Julie and Jancll Haiwick, Sharon Schillinger, and Mary Zastrow outdistanced 15 other teams. This win helped the girls to a tenth place team finish, while the boys also earned tenth place for their achievements. Four coaches ran the team through their daily workouts. Mr. Edwards acted as head coach and was assisted by Mr. Peterson, Mr. Hasz, and Miss Boiler. Mr. Edwards put the girls and the distance boys through their workouts while Mr. Peterson worked with the boys’ sprinters or the long and triple jump- ers. The hurdlers saw a lot of coaches Hasz and Boiler. Miss Boiler worked with the shot and dis- cus throwers too and Mr. Hasz taught the basics of blocks and hand- offs.

Track 37 Six Qualify For State The main objective of the team members was to do well at the region and qualify as many for the State Track Meet as possible. Five girls and one boy qualified. They were: Julie Haiwick in the 100M dash, Mary Zastrow in the 400M and 800M dashes, the 400M relay team consisting of Julie Haiwick. Janell Haiwick, Kaela Goodrich, and Shar- on Schillinger, and Jim Selchert in the long and triple jumps. The state meet was held in Madison and Sioux Falls May 25th and 26th. At the state meet the season’s pay off for Mary Zastrow and Jim Sel- chert came when both surpassed their own expectations by breaking their school records. Zastrow ran the 800M in 2:21, six seconds faster than her best time, and received third place. Selchert extended his triple jump record to 43’ 4V4”. which gave him a second place finish. The end of the year brought the awarding of Most Valuable to Mary Zastrow for the girls and to Jim Sel- chert for the boys. Girls’ Most Im- proved went to Janell Haiwick while the boys' award went to Dan Lusk. ABOVE RIGHT: The 400M relay learn quali- fying for the state meet includes Julie Haiwick. Janell Haiwick.

The addition of a debate class, which was taught by Mrs. Roseland, helped debaters prepare for tourna- ments in which their debating files and techniques were put through strenuous tests. Five debaters could be seen busily loading the school van with files to eagerly travel to various tourna- ments. A few of these that they at- tended were the Central Forensic Conference in Mitchell, the Aber- deen Pi Kappa Delta Tournament, and the Karl Mundt Tournament in Madison. The debaters who worked so hard to win debating rounds were: Steve Oligmuellcr, Jill Pckarek, Grant Garrigan, Tim Moysis, Jackie Neu- harth, and Jerry Hinkle. There were nine participants in declam. These were: Justin Runcs- tad. Oratory; Jackie Ncuharth, Seri- ous Prose; Lori Childs, Drama; Jerry Hinkle, Humerous; Janell Haiwick, Poetry; Melody Aasby, Serious Prose; Steve Oligmuellcr, Serious Drama; Doug Hinkle, Humerous; and Jodi Smith, Poetry. Mrs. Rose- land was the advisor for dcclam, also. Participants that went to Districts in Faulkton were: Lori Childs The Diary of Anne Frank”; Doug Hinkle, “Romeo and Juli-ct”; Justin Runes- tad, “You Did Not Die In Vain ; Jackie Neuharth, “Champion of the World ; and Jodi Smith, selections from Judith Viorst.

Debate Declam 43 BAND Band Year Is Successful Under the direction of Mr. Ben Oswalt, the high school band was kept very busy participating at sports events, concerts, and contests. The first semester the band con- centrated on pep band and marching band, as well as preparing for the Christmas concert. The band had several treats the first semester. First, they went to Mitchell for the State ‘B' Girls Bas- ketball Tournament and performed there. Then, at the Christmas con- cert, Mr. Oswalt’s parents treated the audience with some very special music. The second semester pieces for the Aberdeen Region IV Music Contest were the main concern of the band. They received an overall superior rating, while there were eight superi- or solos and two superior ensembles. They also performed at the Boys’ Basketball games and at the Boys’ Basketball Region IV Tournament. There were five students who went to Honor Band at Huron. Janell Haiwick was among these students, and she was also selected for All- State Orchestra, and first chair All- State Band. This is a distinguished honor that only a few students achieve. Janell should be commend- ed for her hard work and dedication. The John Philip Sousa Award, a national award sponsored by the Band Parents, given to a senior for their dedication, was presented to Guy Childs. 44 Band THIS PACE: ABOVE: The concert band is performing at their annual Christmas concert.

As well as the concert in the spring, they also went to a jazz con- test. It was held in Huron and the band came home with a third place finish. Guy Childs also was awarded for his efforts with an outstanding solo certificate. The band had some problems try- ing to get together and practice, but tried to practice at least twice a week. Most of the time they man- aged to practice during band on Fri- day, and then one week night. Before the band went to contest, Jim McKinney, the director at SDSU, helped them work on some rough spots. He gave them some cor- rective criticism as well as some praise. The second Louis Armstrong Jazz Award, a national award sponsored by the Band Parents, was given to Guy Childs for the second year in a row. Guy was chosen by his fellow jazz members.

For the first time ever, this group was a member of the 10 plus pro- gram by having a membership being ten percent more than the VoAg en- rollment. The first time since 1978, the Highmore FFA received a bronze rating in the National Chap- ter Award Program. This organization received other awards in competitions. The group was presented with a silver rating in the Building Our American Commu- nity program. At the State FFA Convention in Brookings, Dixie Myers received a gold medal in livestock judging, Chad Eldeen earned a silver in crop judging, and Darrel Hinkle earned a bronze rat- ing in crop judging. Advised by Gerard Simon, FFA’ers also represented Highmore out of state. Five members attended the Denver Stock Show. They in- cluded Caly Cowan, Dixie Hem- minger.

Because the Rodeo Club re- ceives no financial support from Highmore High, much of their ac- tivities involve fund raising. The club held numerous raffles, with prizes being a one hundred dollar bill, a down coat, and a pair of boots and jeans. This group also sponsored a Thanksgiving dance and a hayride.

A potluck picnic supper was held in conjunction with this to encourage new members to join and to outline the activities scheduled for the coming year. FHA members did their part in arousing the Homecoming spirit by selling victory cakes and banners, and by entering a float in the parade. The officers also served the football team and coaches breakfast the morning of the game. Preparations for the Regional Meeting kept the chapter especially busy this fall. Pam Faulstich was the Region IV chairperson so the meet- ing was held in Highmore. This brought many responsibilities to the members such as scheduling and decorating. Action Activity Events also had to be worked on and they proved successful when fifteen mem- bers received superior ratings and advanced to the state meeting. Tracy Scott placed first in the Beef Cook- Off and earned a spot in the state competition. The chapter showed its concern for education by sponsoring All For the Health of It Week and Family Week. Two programs, one on child abuse and incest and the other on color analysis, were held. Kim Wil- liams was a PEP (Peers Educating Peers) Squad member. During the year she travelled around the area giving workshops on birth defects and teenage pregnancy. FHA and FFA got together for the annual Sweethearts’ Week. Each day of the week had a different activ- ity planned, such as lollipops day, kindergarten day, and dress-up day. The highlight of the week was the crowning of Gary Weidenbach as king and Megan Garrigan as queen. Other candidates vying for the titles were Tim Ellsworth, Barry Knip- pling, Sam Danccy, Tracy Scott. Diane Schmidt, and Mary Wortman. April brought with it the state FHA meeting in Sioux Falls. Pam Faulstich. state Vice-President of Projects, put in many long hours with the other state officers planning and organizing to make the event a success. The chapter was well-repre- sented at the meeting. Tracy Scott placed third in the state Beef Cook- Off with her beef salad. Joan Durfee received the top superior in the state on her action activity event and earned a trip to the National Meet- ing held in July in Chicago, Illinois. Mrs. Haiwick will also be attending the National Meeting as State Offi- cer Advisor. She was chosen by the incoming 1984-1985 state officers to fill this position. The senior girls took a two day trip to Sioux Falls in April. While there they visited Sioux Valley Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House, and several other points of interest. The Spring Tea was held May 7 with induction of the new officers. This marked the end of another year's activities. OPPOSITE PAGE: ABOVE RIGHT: Pam Faulstich presides over the Regional Meeting.

Staff Proceeds As Normal Once again the Hisodak staff worked past the school year to com- plete the school’s annual. This delay was due to conflicting activities, pro- crastination, and a slow photogra- pher. The first activity for the staff was to sell ads to local businesses. Senior editors took a trip to Miller to per- fect their sales pitch, while the others stuck to their home turf. Ads sales aside, the new staff members tried to figure out what was going on. Pages were assigned and layouts started to be conceived. Senior editors Guy Childs, Kari Griese, and Kim Williams created the mini layouts and patiently coaxed their workers to get their pages done. The other members of the staff tried to abide by their wish- es. They included juniors Dave Clau- sen, Janell Haiwick, Dave Olig- mueller, and Kelly Whiting and sophomores Lori Childs, Tim Moy- sis, and Steve Oligmueller. Also in- cluded was Mrs. Neuharth, who not only advised the staff, but also often became an editor, organizing layouts and preparing final copy. When asked. Co-editor Guy Childs said, “The staff has worked especially diligently this year, and I think this work will pay off in the final edition.

Now It’s History In the Hisodak we tried to capture the events that made up the 1983-84 school year. A few years from now, it will be nice to look at the Hisodak and re- live those moments forever caputrcd in the annual, whether it be a sport- ing event, a concert, or just to look at pictures of your old friends. In closing we, as senior editors, would like to thank the rest of the staff for their hard work. They put in many hours to put this Hisodak to- gether. We'd also like to thank the many patrons that make the publish- ing of the annual possible. Nice weather signals the coming of the end of the school year. Students take advantage of this and relax on the school lawn over their noon hour. Warn pm' 0
