Highmore High School - Hisodak Yearbook (Highmore, SD)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1985 volume:

DISCOVER 985 Editors' Forward This Hisodak is our contribution to the history of HHS. In it we have in- cluded both the good and bad exper- iences that make up the memories we always will have to cherish. As this year's theme we chose 'Discover 85'. There is no need to ask why, for when you open the book you will know. In it you discover what 1985 was and re- live the games, activities, and classes that have been experienced by our days in the halls of HHS. The cover also incorporates the dimensions of outer space, which parallels the infin- ity of the future and the many differ- ent paths our lives may take. What we are and what we become are influenced by our experiences as we grow up. Our environment and education are the key factors that de- termine our futures. Our goal as edi- tors was to enable ourselves to look back at this annual and once again - discover '85' The editors IW5 Senior Editor THIS PACE: ABOVE RIGHT: Mike Gadd tries to talk to Cary Weidenbach, Henry Bucholz, and Galin Larson as they com- pete in the how's this expression? con- test.

May 19, 1985, marked the day when, amidst family and friends, twenty-eight seniors of Highmore High School took their last steps as students and their first as graduates. As the high school band played, Lori Childs, president of the junior class, led the seniors in for one of the most important events of their lives. The stage was decorated with bas- kets of white mums and pink roses and streamers in the class colors of dusty rose and silver. On the east wall of the auditorium, the class motto, What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us, could be found. The girls carried long stem pink roses and the boys wore pink rose boutonnieres. All wore silver gray caps and gowns. Reverend James Sumner gave the invocation, after which the senior high chorus sang a song entitled Look Beyond Tomorrow. Following this.

These scholarships are in memory of Don and Irene Mason and were cash awards of $100 each. The senior class matched this amount for each schol- arship and also pledged to donate any remaining class monies to the trust fund. Superintendent Beigler then intro- duced the guest speaker, Mr. Ben Os- walt, a former teacher at HHS. Mr. Oswalt spoke about feelings and each person's reactions and interpretations of the same events.

To start the year, magazines were sold to raise money. Throughout the year, juniors could be found popping corn and selling pop and candy at conces- sions of many of the sporting events. Deciding the theme and choos- ing the decorations took several class meetings and committee recommendations. Finally, the week arrived to start decorating. A Roman setting was chosen as the decorating scheme and Heaven was the theme song. Light blue, dark blue, and silver streamers created a wall. Pil- lars were used by a Roman night mural to create a gazebo. Pillars were also used to enclose the floor. A swing and patio furniture were added to enhance the atmo- sphere.

The first play, The Pattern is Broken, consisted of two couples in a restaurant — one couple about to be engaged and the other about to be divorced. An ironic twist comes about in the end when the audience discovers that the soon-to-be divorced cou- ple is the n«n lv engaged couple eight years later.

Although good people in the town plead with Judge Bean, he stands firm in his decision, and is backed by Johnny-Behind-The- Ace, played by Dale Griese, and his gang. Orin is saved when Cayo Claiborne, played by Grant Garri- gan, presents the one thing that will save Orin's neck: Miss Lily Langtry, who is idolized by Judge Bean. Later in the play. Miss Langtry, who is portrayed by Jackie Neu- harth, is shocked to discover that the only way Judge Bean will re- lease Orin is if she will marry the Judge. The plot thickens when Montana, a reporter played by Jill Pekearek, discovers that it is Lily Langtry's stand-in, and not Miss Langtry herself, who is currently in Langtry, Texas, to try to save Orin Powers. Later in the play, it is discovered Again that Judge Bean had no intention of hanging Orin, he only wanted to lure Lily to Langtry so he could marry her. After Cayo sent the Judge on a guilt trip about taking Lily from the world, Roy decided it would be impossible to marry her. He announces that he and Lily are not to be married. He al- lows Orin to go free and marry Zerelda, his lifelong sweetheart, played by Christine Volek. He also banishes Johnny-Behind-The-Ace and his gang from Langtry, and lets Miss Langtry go back and join her acting troupe. 40 All School Play THIS PACI: LIFT: Practice makes perfect is the motto as Dale Griese, Grant Garriean and Gary Weiden- bach play a few hands of pocker be- fore curtain call.

RTHLETICS FOOTBALL — Season Is Successful. . . .. Again Miss Bid for the Dome Starting out with 35 players on the roster, tne Highmore High School football team prepared for their sea- son of nine-man football. All went well for the first five games, as the Pirates defeated Lyman, Eureka, Ipswich, Faulkton, and Sully Buttes. After being victimized by the Sully Buttes Chargers in the second round playoffs of 1983, keeping the Pirates from a trip to the Dakota Dome, the Homecoming game pro- duced a sweet victory. Sully Buttes was defeated by a score of 28-13. Highmore received their first de- feat when Gettysburg ran over the Pi- rates by a score of 33-6. The Pirates tried to get back into the winning col- umn but were edged out by Stanley County 13-12 in tne following game. Highmore ended the season with wins over Leola and Burke, which aualified them for the 9-A playoffs for tne second straight year. The first round of the playoffs saw Highmore take revenge over the Get- tysburg Battlers, 8-6. The Pirates were tnen handed their last loss of the year with McLaughlin trouncing them 36- 6. This loss kept the Pirates from go- ing to the Dakota Dome for the State Championship Game.

Consisting of freshmen, sopho- mores, and some juniors, the JV team had wins over Miller and Wessington, but were defeated by Lyman County, Stanley County, Sully Buttes, and Gettys- burg. By drilling the varsity team every night, the JV team gained valuable experience on both the offensive and defensive sides.

JV Football 51 GIRLS BASKETBALL Team Works Hard. . . . . .Charger Game Highlights Head coach Roger Edwards and assistant coach Robin Boiler led the girls basketball team in the 1984 campaign.

Practice started for the team three weeks before the first game. Long hours of practice became common for the team throughout the season. Traveling also became a regular for the squad, as the girls played fourteen of their twenty-two games away. Highmore competed in the Central Conference Tourney which was held in Chamberlain for two nights and in Miller for the last night. One member of the Lady Pirates, Charlene Faulstich, was placed on the All-Tournament team. In addition to this honor, she was also named to the LCAC team, while fellow teammate Karla Gaer, received an honorable mention. Even though the win-loss record was not very impressive, the season was not with- out its highlights. The game against Sully Buttes on the home court was an exciting one. Highmore battled back from an elev- en point half-time deficit to win the game 39-38 on a last second shot. Near the end of the season, the Pirates went into District Tournament action at Sully Buttes. Highmore beat Harrold 45-38 in the first round, but were defeated by Sully Buttes and Stanley County in the fol- lowing two games. The season ended with the girls recording a win-loss record of 6- 16. At the end of the season, Karla Gaer led the team in rebounding. Patty Kilber had provided the most assists and Jill Pekarek had the best free throw percentage. Charlene Faulstich scored the most points for the season. She was also named most valuable. Most improved honors went to sophomore Jill Pekarek. UPPER RIGHT: Karla Gaer tips the ball EAR LEFT: A Squad members Jill Pekarek, from the Stanley County opponent.

This placing qualified the team for the state cross country meet in Huron. There, out of sixteen teams, Highmore boys placed third. Contributing to this placing were Dan Lusk, 12th; Bruce Bucholz, 17th; Henry . Place at State Bucholz, 41st; Tom Durfee, 76th; and Mike Jetty, 86th. At state this squad set a school record for highest placing. The lone girl runner was Fran Ballew Fran, who the year before placed 58th at state, ran well enough this year to again place at state, this time 20th out of 89 runners. Her legs led her to the second best school record for placing at state. Meets generally consisted of three races. First JV boys ran 1.8 miles. Then girls ran the same distance. And lastly varsity boys ran 3.1 miles. 56 Cross Country sen, Mike Jetty, Bruce Bucholz, and Mike Wurts. RIGHT: Bruce Bucholz fights for position, keeping in mind the adage, No guts, no glory .

WRESTLING Injuries Play Major Role. . . . . Inexperience Is A Factor Highmore's wrestlers were led by head coach Nick Minardi, assistant coach Chuck Hamlin, and seven re- turning lettermen. They included eighth grader Morris Reber, sopho- mores Chad Eldeen and Tork Cowan, junior Les Smith, and seniors Greg Ells- worth, Paul Knox, and George McKel- vey. The Pirates had a discouraging duel season, winning one competition against the Sunshine Bible Academy by three points. Individual strength showed at tournaments. The team par- ticipated in six tournaments placing at least one person in each. Injuries played a major role. Greg Ellsworth injured his knee during a semi-final match of the first tourna- ment. He had to default the champion- UPPER LEFT: Cheerleader Pam Kusser congratulates Doug Hinkle on his place- ment.

After missing five weeks of competition and having an operation on his knee, Greg was able to return one week before Highmore's tournament. The third annual Highmore Invita- tional was held Saturday, January 19th. Individuals placing were: Greg Ells- worth, 2nd at 112; Chad Eldeen, 4th at 126; Todd Roberts, 3rd at 145; Doug Hinkle, 4th at 155; Les Smith, 4th at 185; and George McKelvey, 3rd at Heavyweight. The duo of Chad Eldeen and Greg Ellsworth were the only representatives in Wall for the Regional Tournament with Greg Ellsworth advancing to the State Tournament in Sioux Falls.

There was not a full team at any time during the season. Most of the JV wrestling was done by Aaron Knox, Doug Hinkle, Vance Olsen, Jeff Smith and Bob Haiwick. Many times one or more of these wrestlers would fill in a varsity position. They wrestled more exhibition matches than actual JV match- es. These matches took place before duel matches. Through daily practice with the varsity team, valuable ex- periences were gained. THIS PACE: ABOVE: Paul Knox gri- maces in agony while trying to get a reversal.

Problem Filling Squad Under the guidance of LeAnn Suhn and Sally Whiting, the cheerleaders kept the enthusiasm at Highmore High School alive. Their responsibilities were to in- crease the school spirit, represent the town, and keep the crowd under control. With these obligations, they also made pep signs and conducted pep rallies. To show their appreciation for the players' efforts and the parents' sup- port, the cheerleaders again held suc- cessful Parents' Nights for football, girls' basketball, boys' basketball, and wrestling after the last home event of each season. Lack of interest resulted in no cheerleaders for wrestling. This was resolved, and after competing in a poster contest at Onida and receiving first place for their Care Bear poster entitled “Good Luck Pirates, the cheerleaders were rewarded with an overflowing amount of enthusiasm.

A Season of Firsts The 1984-85 boys' basketball season was a season of many firsts. Seven sen- iors led the Pirates to their first winning record in a number of years. The sea- son record was 15-6. They also claimed the LCAC title by breezing through the conference schedule undefeated. The year started with Highmore thumping two conference opponents, Sully Buttes and Harrold. The Pirates started off a big weekend of basketball by knocking off Miller 59-29 in a Friday night home game. It was Highmore's first varsity victory over Miller in many years. The following night the Pirates invaded the Huron Arena to tangle with the undefeated and 4th ranked Wessington Springs Spartans. This was the fourth and final game of the first annual Fair City Classic, an event that drew eight of the state's best teams. The Pirates, who were unranked, gave the Spartans a scare before losing 47- 46. In January, the Pirates went into the Jones County Invitational Tournament. Highmore whipped Gregory 68-35 in the first game of the tournament. Their semi-final opponents were the Jones County Coyotes, who were undefeat- ed. Gaining revenge from last year's loss in the region tournament, the Pi- rates ripped the Coyotes 75-46 to go into the championship. In the cham- pionship game, Highmore once again faced Wessington Springs. Once again, the Spartans squeaked by, this time 50- 47. Two Pirates, Curt Johnson and Dale Griese, were named to the second all- tourney team, while David Clausen was named to the first team. Clausen was also named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. The Pirates then reeled off four straight victories. The Chamberlain Cubs, an undefeated class 'A' team and one of the three undefeated teams left in the state, came to Highmore for the annual Parents' Night game. The game was also the Central Conference Cham- pionship, as both teams were undefeat- ed in conference play. This was the first time in years the Pirates had threatened in the powerful confernce. In a very close, exciting, and well-played game, the Pirates fell short 58-53. The Pirates defeated the teams of Miller, Mobridge, Jones County, and Crow Creek for the first time in many seasons. The Crow Creek game, which was the last game of the regular season, was a 89-87 thriller played in Stephan. The Pirates went into the district tourney with a 14-5 record. Highmore defeated Gettyburg 63-52 in the first game. The Pirates' impressive season tragically came to an end with a loss to Sully Buttes in the district champion- ship game.

The young Pirates, made up of one junior, seven sophomores, and four freshmen, compiled a record of 11 wins and 4 losses. The Pirates lost the first game of the season to Sully Buttes. After that, the squad rolled off four straight victories before stumbling against Mobridge, losing 49-43. Four more victories were then re- corded before a loss to Chamber- lain. One of the victories came against Stanley County. The Pirates were actually behind 29-14 going into the fourth quarter. Led by Bruce Bucholz and Danny Lusk, Highmore outscored the Buffaloes 21-5 in the final quarter to win the game 35-34. Having had the best B squad re- cord in recent years, the squad shows much promise for more suc- cessful varsity seasons. The exper- ience they gained in their JV action will prove invaluable in the coming years. OPPOSITE PACE: ABOVE: The brain trust of the young and succes- ful Pirate basketball program.

Four Qualify for State The golf season started in the spring when Coach Sally Whiting took the team to the Dakota Dome in Vermillion for a golf clinic, the clinic consisted of a number of golf professionals giving tips to high school students across the region. The first meet, which was to be held in Tyndall, was postponed due to rain. The next week, though, saw the six Highmore golfers traveling to Miiler for a meet where Dave Clausen and Kel- ly Whiting tied for sixth place. Faulkton held an 18-hole invita- tional the following week. Dave Clausen received fourth place and Kelly Whiting tied for medalist honors, but lost in the first sudden- death playoff hole. A difficult Parkston course was the host of the next meet. Many of the top golf teams in the state par- ticipated in this tournament. Sen- ior Kelly Whiting brought home an eighth place medal. The final meet before regions was the Highmore Invitational. Un- der blistering heat and bellowing winds, golfers tried to match tal- ents with Mother Nature, with Mother Nature winning the great- er part of the time, as shown by the elevated scores. Kelly Whiting and Dave Clausen received second and seventh places, respectively. Four boys, Whiting, Clausen, Greg Haiwick, and Kip Baloun, re- presented Highmore at the region golf meet in Pierre. The team re- ceived second place honors by edging out Mobridge in a sudden- death playoff. Individually, Kelly Whiting was the medalist, and Dave Clausen and Greg Haiwick received 8th and 17th places, re- spectively. At the state tourney in Water- town, the team received ninth place in a field of thirteen teams. Kelly Whiting again brought home a medal, this time eighth place. The Most Improved golfer was awarded to Kip Baloun, and Kelly Whiting was named Most Valuable. Letterwinners were: Kelly Whiting, Dave Clausen, Greg Haiwick, Kip Baloun, George McKelvey, and Rod Klebsch. 66 Golf THIS PACE: ABOVE: Dave Clausen zeros in on the ball.

TRACK Teams Do Well. . . . . .Despite Lack of Numbers The second annual Highmore Invita- tional sponsored by the Action Club, was the first track meet to start off the season. Jim Selchert was named most valuable male athlete at this meet. Although the track team was few in numbers, a lot of talent prevailed throughout the year. Once again the junior high tracksters were called in to fill vacant spots. Jim Selchert broke the school re- cords in the triple jump, high jump, and long jump. Freshman Bruce Bu- cholz ran a 10:16 in the 2 mile run at Regions, and Mary Zastrow broke her own record in the 800 meter run. The boy's team placed first at the Faulkton Relays, while the girl's placed second. The boys also placed second at LCAC and fourth at the Rotary Relays. This year some of the track members went to some larger meets. These in- cluded the Aberdeen Relays and the Howard Wood Relays at Sioux Falls, the team gained experience and had a chance to see just how they matched up to other individuals in the state. Three coaches supervised the team's workouts and encouraged them during the rough spots. Mr. Roger Edwards was the head coach and Miss Robin Boiler and Mr. Mark Hasz were the as- sistants. Mr. Edwards worked with the distance runners and sprinters, while Miss Boiler helped with the high jump- ers and hurdlers. The shot and discus throwers spent most of their time with Mr. Hasz. Mr. Hasz also assited with the hurdlers. As regions came around, Highmore was well represented with seven peo- ple continuing on to state. Bruce Bu- cholz placed first in the 3200 meter run while Dan Lusk ran for second in the 1600 meter run. Second place went to Henry Bucholz in the 800 meter run. Jeff Selchert threw the discus for sec- ond place, while Jim Selchert placed second in the high jump, first in the long jump, and first in the triple jump. Two girls came home with state quali- fiying places — Mary Zastrow, who ran for a first in the 800 meter run, and Sharon Schillinger, who placed second in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. At the state track meet in Sioux Falls, Bruce Bucholz placed sixth in the 3200 meter run and Mary Zastrow placed third in the 800. In the triple jump, Jim Selchert jumped into the state champi- on position. He also placed sixth in the long jump.

Once the fruit arrives there is an enormous job of checking, sorting, and delivering it as members Doug Hinkle and Darrel Hinkle find out. Organizations Division 71 BAND Band Year Is Challenging Under the first year direction of Miss Margene Boer, the band had a busy and challenging year. The band experienced many changes throughout the year. Due to many losses, both the band and jazz band had to be rebuilt. The year was started by preparing for marching competition. The band participated at Huron and Aberdeen once again. Other activities the band participated in included: playing at various sport- ing events, a Christmas and spring concert, playing for the District 15 Boys' Basketball tournament, a jazz band concert. Cabaret, and the Re- gion IV music contest at Aberdeen. The band recieved an overall excel- lent rating, and there were five supe- rior solos. Individuals in the band did very well, janell and Julie Haiwick repre- sented HHS at the All State Orchestra in the fall and All-State Band in the spring. This was Janell's second year in the orchestra and third year in the band, while for Julie, a freshman, both events were new experiences. The John Phillip Sousa Award, a na- tional award sponsored by the band parents and given to an outstanding senior member, was presented to Jan- ell Haiwick. The Louis Armstrong Jazz Award was given to Kelly Whiting for his talent and leadership in jazz band. Kelly was chosen by his fellow jazz band members.

First on the agenda was to choose from among the 27 students the delegates and alternates for All-State Chorus held in Watertown No- vember 1-3. Those chosen were; Becky Nemec, Julie Haiwick, Paul Smith, and Kel- ly Whiting, delegates; and Kay Freier, Jen- ny Nemec, Bob Haiwick, and Steve Olig- mueller, alternates. The chorus began to practice in antici- pation of the high school jazz concert on December 3 and the Christmas concert on December 18. Returning from Christmas vacation, preparation began for the Quad-City Band and Chorus Festival, held March 12 in Mil- ler, followed closely by another jazz con- cert March 18. The Regional Music Contest in Aber- deen on April 12-13 was the chorus' next performance. As a group, the chorus re- ceived an excellent rating. With the end in sight, the chorus round- ed out their year with the high school band and chorus concert, commonly known as Cabaret.

Chorus 75 Individuals Do Well Several chorus members did well in indi- vidual performances. Three solos were taken to the music contest in Aberdeen. Soloists and ratings were: Justin Runestad, superior; Steve Oligmueller, excellent; and Kelly Whiting, excellent. Chorus members were encouraged to sing separately at Cabaret. Justin Runestad, Leanne Hoffman, Bob Haiwick, Paul Smith, and Kelly Whiting performed solos, while Steve Oligmueller and Kaela Goodrich sang a duet. A group of chorus members joined to- gether to perform at the Memorial Day program on May 30.

Future Business Leaders Of America 81 FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Chapter Grows In Many Areas The Future Homemakers of Amer- ica started off the year with a taco supper held to encourage new mem- bers to join and become active in FHA. One of the organizations first pro- jects was selling buttons and victory cakes at Homecoming. The officers also sponsored a breakfast for the football team and coaches. During the fall, everyone prepared for the Region 7 meeting at Miller. The hard work paid off for the mem- bers when 15 people brought home superiors, advancing them to the state convention. Dena Bloomenrader placed first in the Beef Cook-Off and earned a spot in the state competi- tion. Some of the chapter's major pro- jects were the Mother's March and Vocational Education Week. The Mother's March sent members door to door in a fight against birth defects. During Vocational Education Week the FHA co-sponsored a banquet with the FFA and FBLA, which included hearing a speaker on self-image. Oth- er activities included baked potato suppers, I Love Pirate pins, snacks during noon hour, Valentine carna- tions, and sponsoring a speaker on eating disorders. Once again the FHA and FFA united for the annual Sweethearts. Due to bad weather, coronation had to be postponed. When it finally took place Dena Bloomenrader was crowned queen and Mike Cadd was named king. Other candidates vying for the title were: Dixie Aasby, Joan Durfee, Charlene Faulstich, Brian Nielson, Paul Knox, and Greg Ellsworth. April brought about the state FHA convention held in Sioux Falls. Mrs. Gloria Haiwick, chapter advisor, was also the state advisor. Highmore brought home eleven superiors and Cathy Faulstich was chosen as a Pep- Squad member, while Mike )etty was chosen a member of the Bod-Squad. The senior members took a trip to Minneapolis as a treat to themselves for all the hard work they have done in the last four years. While there they visited Bachman's Florist, Chanhassen Dinner Theater, Byerly's, Walker Art Museum, Omni Theater, and the Sci- ence Museum. The last event of the year was the Spring Tea, which was held on May 6. 82 Future Homemakers of America OPPOSITI PACE: BELOW LEFT: Sweetheart royalty: SEATED: Char- lene Faulstich, Dixie Aasby, Queen Dena Bloomenrader. and Joan Dur- fee.

Future Homemakers of America 83 DEBATE DECLAM Debate Has Short Season A total of 14 made use of their ver- bal ability to compete in declam. The team began the season by choosing a selection in their selected category. Since there was no local contest. Coach Barbara Roseland chose the participants to go to districts in Miller. These people were: Justin Runested, Oratory; Steve Oligmueller, Humor- ous; Julie Haiwick, Poetry; Jackie Neu- harth, Serious Prose; Lori Childs, Seri- ous Drama; Kaela Goodrich and Cindy Faulstich, Duet Acting. Coached by Robin Boiler, the de- bate team started off the season by traveling to Mitchell to observe a de- bate meet and preparing their cases and files for their own competition. The team competed in the Aber- deen Central Invitational, the Central Conference Invitational in Mitchell, and the Karl E. Mundt Invitational in Madison. Because the Highmore team started so late in the season, par- ticipation was limited to these three tournaments.

'V NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Five Join Organization Jim Kretchman, athletic direc- tor at Northern State College, was the guest speaker for the National Honor Society's installation cere- mony for new members on March 27, 1985. One senior, one junior, and three sophomores were inducted into NHS. They were: Pam Kusser, Mike Jetty, Jill Pekarek, Heather VanDenBerg, and Dan Lusk. The Society conducted its an- nual eighth grade orientation, which introduced the upcoming freshmen to the classes, organiza- tions, and activities of high school. NHS was also in charge of the pro- grams for graduation. Officers for the 1984-85 school year were: Janell Haiwick, presi- dent; Kelly Whiting, vice presi- dent; Dave Clausen, treasurer; and Dale Criese, secretary. National Honor Society 85 PIRATE JOURNAL Changes Accompany Paper A new Hag, new ideas, and an at- tempt to return to editorializing ac- companied the Pirate journal as co- editors Steve Oligmueller and Tim Moysis took control of the presses by assigning and editing stories and com- posing the paper. The advisor, Mrs. Paula Barber, was often the cause of the staff's headaches, as the staff was hers. Disputes over deadlines and sto- ry angles eliminated the staff and al- lowed any student to be a reporter. Deadline for stories was set for Friday. The co-editors alternated papers, thus allowing individual freedom of expression. The staff which remained consisted of sports editor Dan Lusk, with re- porters joan Durfee, Dena Bloomen- rader, jill Pekarek, Patti Kilber, Sandi Durfee, and Mike jetty. Tim Moysis printed and took pictures, and Darren Griese took pictures for the bi-weekly publication. Five representatives from the Pirate Journal attended Press Day in Brook- ings. Sessions ranging from editoriali- zation to writing sports stories were attended. Senior editors for the coming school year will be Steve Oligmueller and Tim Moysis, while junior editors will be Justin Runestad and Jill Pe- karek.

This program eliminated much of the problems associated with the traditional typewriter method. In addition to deadlines, an added pressure was placed upon the editors as the 1984 Hisodak was named an all- state annual. The senior editors Dave Clausen, Janell Haiwick, Dave Olig- mueller, and Kelly Whiting strove to repeat this distinction and to finish work early. They did complete the annual earlier than the previous year, finishing within a week following the completion of the school year. In order to defray printing costs, the Hisodak staff sold concessions at three home games. Composing the staff were juniors Lori Childs, Steve Oligmueller, and Tim Moysis and sophomores Jackie Neuharth, Jill Pekarek, and Heather Van Den Berg. At meetings, staff members wrote copy, marked photos to be printed, cropped photos, and organized their layouts. Six representatives from the Hiso- dak staff attended Press Day in Brook- ings.

Photographers And Librarians 89 STUDENT COUNCIL Strives For Communication The Student Council had many re- sponsibilities to fulfill. Among these responsibilities was the creation of a better line of communication be- tween the student body, faculty, ad- ministration, and school board. One of the most important duties of the Student Council was the plan- ning and organizing of Homecoming. Once again they sponsored a slave auction of the freshmen to help de- fray costs of the Homecoming dance. Other responsibilities included su- pervising the nomination and elec- tion of the class officers and cheer- leaders and taking any proposals made by the student body to the school board for consideration. The members of the Student Coun- cil were chosen by their classmates, with the officers chosen by the entire student body. Each class elected two delegates to represent them in Stu- dent Council proceedings.

Academics Division 91 BUSINESS ARTS I New Computer Is Added Mrs. Jacquelyn Neuharth, Mrs. Re- nee Gauer, and Mr. Mark Hasz were the instructors for the business classes. Mrs. Jacquelyn Neuharth taught vo- cational business math. Vocational math covers decimals, percents, and fractions as applied to everyday life. Mrs. Renee Gauer instructed two typing classes, office occupations, and word processing. Typing and office procedures were introduced to typ- ing students while office occupations students learned advanced office pro- cedures. Word processing introduced business computing and its applica- tion into the office. Business law and two accounting classes were headed by Mr. Mark Hasz. Business law was offered as a full year course. The students were taken ABOVE: These eight business students take time out from their classes for a pic- ture during Vocational Week.

Emphasis then shifted to con- tract laws, the use of credit, working for others, and the buying and selling of goods. The final section of study involved an examination of personal and real property. Accounting students learned the basic accounting cycle, accounting for a single owner business, and ac- counting for a corporation. During the study of partnership and corpo- rate accounting, special journals were kept. Students also experienced the use of a number of different business forms. All of the business classes had a turn at using the new IBM computer which was added to the business de- partment this year. no problems with his assignment while Bri- an Ardry tries to correct a typing error during Typing I class.

The marching band competed in the Huron College parade and placed 4th. They also marched in the Gypsy Days Pa- rade. The concert band attended a music festival in Miller and the Region IV Contest in the spring. In cooperation with the jazz choir, the jazz band held a jazz concert in December. Another duty of the band was playing at pep rallies and during half time of all home athletic events. Guided by Miss Lola Lee, the chorus took seven people to All-State Chorus in Aberdeen. The chorus also attended the music festival in Miller, the Region IV Con- test, and performed at three concerts. baccalaureate, graduation, and other com- munity functions. Art I consisted of basic instruction of color and design using elements and prin- ciples of design. Perspective drawing was also introduced. In Art II the students in- vestigated various media while doing still life, landscapes, and other types of draw- ings. Many handicrafts were experienced in Art III. Leathercraft, pen and ink on glass, calligraphy and handmade paper were some of the crafts done. Art IV stu- dents made hand-formed ceramics. Among various other projects, the art class did the backdrop for Homecoming. Mrs. Jacquelyn Neuharth instructed all art classes. Fine Arts 93 LANGUAGE ARTS r ] Foreign Language is Required Mrs. Paula Barber taught English I and English II. In English I freshman students did research on Edgar Allan Poe and Shakespeare. A book was published of their own creative writ- ings. Grammar functions were also studied. As a part of English II sophomores were required to take speech. Some skills obtained in speech were job hunting and parliamentary proce- dures. A study on Western American Literature involved the reading of Giants in the Earth by O. E. Rolvaag. The remainder of the year was spent on grammar application. English III was a combination of re- viewing grammar skills, opening vo- cab development plus a thorough survey on American Literature. The classic American novel Huckleberry Finn was studied at the end of the year. The juniors also worked on ca- reer findings. They took a trip to Wa- tertown Vo-Tech to observe different careers. English IV consisted of grammar re- view and vocab expansion to improve written expression. The third quarter was spent on a research paper of con- siderable length and depth. The sen- iors studied British Literature, includ- ing a brief history of the English lan- guage. Besides teaching English Mrs. Rose- land also taught German. German was added to the curriculum because a foreign language is required to enter a state supported college. Obtaining a background on German culture and how to construct simple sentences were a few of the skills obtained. During the year three humanities programs were presented on South Dakota History and Hyde county. The first presentation was by Dr. Larry Zimmerman, archaeology professor of USD Vermillion. He discussed the Paledindias Era in South Dakota. Dr. Zimmerman showed slides on how people lived and the different weap- ons and tools they used. Second was Dr. Robert Thompson, history profes- sor at Northern State College in Aber- deen. He spoke on Old West cow- boys and Indians in the Black Hills. The final presentation was by Dr. Da- vid Miller, history professor at BHSC. He talked about South Dakota poli- tics.

Seniors furthered their under- standing of different types of govern- ments. A field trip to Pierre was taken to observe the legislative session. The seniors also participated in a nation- wide mock election. U.S. history students learned how America developed into a country. Creating video shows about the Rev- olutionary War and presentations on the Civil War were part of their as- signments. World history is required in either the freshman or sophomore year. Making models of manors, weapons. and castles along with geography studies were projects undertaken. The psychology class, taught by Mr. Mark Hasz, studied psychological the- ories. Learning and memory, emo- tions, and motivation were topics dis- cussed in a PBS broadcast series, “The Brain. Stress levels were measured with a bio dot and recorded in diaries to understand emotion. A field trip was taken to Redfield along with a brief unit on retardation and the his- tory of discrimination. Marriage and family students learned how to plan a budget, orga- nize a wedding, the efects of divorce, and raising children.

Social Science 95 SCIENCE MATH AND COMPUTERS Tomorrow's Scientists Experiment Today Due to an interest in the area of medicine, Highmore offered human anatomy. Mrs. Jamieson taught hu- man anatomy along with biology and chemistry. Biology students discovered how the human body functions and how to dissect various organisms. They also added to their knowledge cell divi- sion and animal classification. In the chemistry lab, the mad sci- entists learned how to experiment with various compounds. Along with their labs, students were required to write formal lab reports. Physical science was taught by Miss Leier. Students spent a lot of time in the lab doing assorted activities. The North Central Evaluation Com- mittee recommended that the sci- ence lab be remodeled. Because the bids could not be let in time for the 84-85 school year, the lab will be re- modeled this summer. All of the math classes were in- structed by Mrs. Whiting. Her classes included Algebra I, geometry. Alge- bra II, trigonometry, and Advanced Business Math. With these courses, the various students were educated in the science of numbers and their op- erations. Computers, in their second year, expanded into word processing with Bank Street Writer and Super Text. The computer classes I and II were taught by Mrs. Baloun and Mrs. Neu- harth. They were semester classes. In Computer II the students continued from where they left off in Basic lan- guage, Visicalc, and Logo. Kidstuff was a graphics language for the Pet com- puters used in Computer I.

For the first semester one group went in the morning and one in the afternoon. During the second semester the groups went every other day. Among the ac- tivities directed by Mrs. Dianne Quinn were the making of clay beads, visiting Bonnichsen's farm, and a Mother's Day brunch. The first grade was a very hardy bunch instructed by Mrs. Shirley Sivertsen. Throughout the year there were very few absences. The things the students enjoyed most were going to the library and Nick Minardi coming to class. The second grade class, taught by Mrs. Nadine Day, learned to write creative stories.

We Say Good by Our Time Here Is Gone As we leave the final time it is our hope that in the pages of this book you will discover events that made the year what it was. We also hope that it will help all to relive the moments of the year whether it be the concerts, sporting events, or just the memories of times spent with our friends. As we close our discoveries we would like to thank all the people who have given us these moments to share. We the senior editors would also like to thank the rest of the staff. A special thanks goes to Darren Criese for his efforts the last two weeks of work. We along with the fellow seniors have left the familiar halls of Highmore High School. We take with us the discoveries in this book to explore and discover the outside world.
