Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1987 volume:

w- EDITORS’ FOREWORD It takes twelve months of team work to build a yearbook. This effort is quite like a challenging game with inumerable rules, uncertain paths, and a variety of standards and guidelines. All of which are to be met and focused upon - collectively. We the editors of 1987 invite you to move into our gameboard. We invite you to move on with us through the year of 1987. and we ask that you move up to meet our challenge of excellence. So take hold of your pawns, your rooks, your knights, and your queens and let's move out. It’s your move!

TABLE OF CONTENTS i EVENTS 1986-1987 YEARBOOK NOTES NEWSMAKERS The past twelve month have pre- sented the world with the challenge of change as well as the repetition of time worn errors. Lady Liberty's 100th birthday party in July of 1986 was a spectacular highlight for American patriots. A celebration of ultimate proportions was held on Li- berty Island. The fireworks had hard- ly died out from the celebration when the world was faced with usual political and social deliberations. Contragate repeated historical memories of Watergate. The Iceland Summit ended in a stalemate. South Africa was faced with economic sanctions as a result of its staunch support of Apartheid. Gary Hart dropped out of the 1988 presidential campaign following a myriad of mo- rality allegations. Praise the Lord network faced extinction as accusa- tions of impropriety were hurled against Jim and Tammy Bakker. and Wall Street opened itself up to in- creasing publicized scandals that re- sulted in arrest. Baby M made world wide news and initiated new social dilema over surrogate motherhood. There were some notable success: a few victo- ries: the first photos of the infamous sunken Titanic were presented in documentary form by National Geo- graphic; the Americas cup came home: a film about Vietnam. Pla- toon' won both Academy and pub- lic recognition: and William Rehn- quist was newly appointed Chief Jus- tice of the Supreme Court. The big news of 1987 for the state of South Dakota came with a change in governorship at the State Capitol. Republican George Mickelson re- placed two term republican governor William Janklow. The closest and. at times, the most heated senators race took place in South Dakota as Tom Daschle ran against the veteran Jim Abdnor. The voters of South Dakota voted for a change and sent Tom Daschle to Washington. The legisla- ture passed a new bill which allowed South Dakotans to drive 65 on the interstate. Attorney General Tel- linghuisen traveled to Washington D.C. to represent South Dakota in the drinking age case, which the Su- preme Court decided to review. Re- cord setting warm temperatures graced the winter of ’86-’87. Murder and mayhem invaded our small state with the violent deaths of two small children and the sympathy strike at John Morrells in Sioux Falls. The Thunderbirds entertained during Memorial Day weekend at Ellsworth Air Force Base. Russell Means vied for the Libertarian Party’s presiden- tial nomination. South Dakota drew up a plan to obtain the building rights of an underground atom smasher. The New York Met won the World Series, while the New York Giants won the Superbowl. Number one draft choice Len Bias died of a co- caine overdose, and Aly Sheba was predicted to win the triple crown. The Daytona 500 was won by Bill Elliot. Punk rock moved out and was re- placed by positive attitude songs. Bows and suspenders were definate- ly a part of the dress code. Hair- pieces for the girls and short do’s” for the guys made a sophisticated come back. Denim skirts, mini-skirts, and 50l‘s were well represented throughout the halls of HHS. Students at HHS could be heard sar- castically repeating the words That’s speciali” and What ya gonna do? Take my birthday away?”, and answers of yessir..” and Yes’em” became habit forming. The entertainment world was once again besieged with rumors of death as a result of AIDS.” Liberace and Andy Worhal died. Mr. Green- jeans of Captain Kangaroo and Scarecrow of the Wizard of Oz were two death's that will always be remembered throughout all ages. Rock group Bon Jovi set sales re- cords with their hit album Slippery When Wet.” The country western mother-daughter duo. the Judds, cut a remake of Elvis Presley’s all time hit. Don’t Be Cruel.” Randy Travis received the Horizon Award; George Strait was chosen as male vocalist of the year; and Reba Maclntire was chosen entertainer of the year.

On September 12th all freshmen, new high school students and teach- ers were auctioned off. The proceeds went to the Student Council to pay for barbecues and pop at the Home- coming dance. The week started off with everyone showing off their best duds, for dress-up day. Marshal speeches were given that morning in the gym. Vying for marshal were senior Tom Durfee. junior Jackie Dittman. soph- omore Shane Vlcek. and freshman Jeff Peterson. Royalty candidates were Tork Cowan. Kip Baloun. Darin Larson. Jill Pekarek. Heather Van- DenBerg and Jackie Neuharth. Monday night coronation was opened by Student Council President Dan Lusk. Jackie Dittman was an- nounced marshal and took the re- sponsibility of MC. Darin Larson and Jill Pekarek were crowned as King and Queen. The night was finalized with the burning of the H and a pep rally. Each day of the week was designated by a different activity. Tuesday pre- sented the problem of not knowing who was Miss or Mr., as it was oppo- site sex day. Wednesday students took a trip back into the 50's along with using their slaves to do all their dirty work. Thursday was revenge of the nerds . The traditional red and white day was Friday, with the game against the Wessington-Wolsey Warbirds that night. This year was the first Homecoming game for the combined football team of the Highmore-Harrold Pirates. Eventually the combination was worth while. The Pirates captured a Homecoming victory!

''WHO- DUNIT?” Under the direction of Mrs. Barbara Roseland and assistant director Cathy Faulstich. the cast and crew entwined the audience in a mystery involving a money-hungry mistress. Cindy Faulstich. a greedy nephew. Gene Luze. an ex-con gar- dener. Brian Ardry. a jealous boy- friend. Shawn Baloun. an agressive author. Becky Nemec. the innocent maid. Christine Volek. and the gang- ster's moll. Debbie Dittman. These people all have a motive to kill the rich and famous Alexander Arling- ton. otherwise known as Justin Run- estad. The play begins at the pearly gates of heaven, where Mr. Arlington is be- ing welcomed by three angels. Jill Pekarek. Jackie Neuharth. and Jodi McDonnell. He is not very happy to hear that he was murdered, and de- mands to be returned to Earth on the day of his death to solve the mystery of WHODUNIT?” The only stipula tion is that he cannot prevent his murder. The play continues to reach a climax when Mr. Arlington corners all of the suspects a few minutes before his murder is to take place. He waits to see who will be the one to stab him with his letter opener. Thunder rolls, lightning flashes, and the murderer does his job again. Alexander Ar- lington once again enters Heaven, not knowing who killed him. The archangel McDonnell then reveals to him the murderer, the mistress Faulstich. She removes all thoughts of revenge and anger from his mind, for no one can have these feelings in Heaven. The angels exit the stage exclaiming how warm it was getting up there for a while. 8 PLAYS OPPOSITE PAGE: ABOVE RIGHT Christine Volek awaken� Justin Runestad from his dream of being in Heaven.

PLAYS 9 ACTRESS GETS STONED A record number of interested par- ticipants contributed to the success of the one-act play entitled, The Lottery. Every actor that auditioned was allowed a part in the play, for they were needed to play the villag- ers to add the special effects” to the execution. The play involved a common village woman named Tessie Hutchinson, portrayed by Jill Pekarek. an unfor- tunate person who was stoned to death as the result of a lottery draw- ing. She drew the winning ticket, so she won the grand prize of being the scapegoat of the entire village, who stoned her to death. Joe Summers, played by Justin Runestad. hosted the black box” lottery as the master of ceremonies. Pekarek and Runes- tad received superior acting awards in the regional one-act play contest in Mobridge. The cast and crew of The Lottery” received second place honors at the regional level.

PROM GUESTS ATTEND MASQUERADE Black, silver, and red were the colors that adorned the Hyde County Me- morial Auditorium on April 24. The occasion was the 1987 Junior-Senior Prom. 'Moonlight Masquerade’ was the theme while the song chosen by the juniors was 'Nobody's Fool’ sung by Cinderella. A bridge spanned the middle of the floor while an arch, under which each couple walked, was situated on the stage. At the south end of the build- ing. a gazebo with a crystal-like light could be found. Several masks hung on the stage and decorated the tops of a number of pillars. Jackie Dittman. junior class presi- dent. began the evening by welcom- ing everyone to the banquet. Senior class president. John Mewes. re- sponded by thanking the juniors for presenting the Prom. The invocation, given by Reverand Mark Holland, was followed by the meal. Fruit slush, swiss steak, mashed potatoes with gravy, corn, dinner rolls with butter, and cherry cheesecake made up the meal which was served by the six waiters and six waitresses who were dressed in black and white jest- er costumes. The meal was followed by the reading of the class history by Kip Baloun. Brian Ardry then read the class prophecy followed by Jus- tin Runestad reading the class wills. Closing comments were made by Re- verand Mark Holland. The Grand March began at 9:00 p.m. and consisted of many criss-crosses, patterns, a twirl by each girl, and the forming of a tunnel. This was fol- lowed by an evening of dancing with the music provided by Image . The dance lasted until 1:00 a.m. when a breakfast was served by juniors par- ents in the east wing of the audito- rium.

AWARDS 15 STUDENT COUNCIL OVERSEE WORK The job of student council is one of those many jobs that is overlooked until something goes wrong. The student council is responsible for closing that generation gap between faculty, administration, and the school board. This isn't an easy task. The 1986-87 student council was manned by President Dan Lusk. Vice-President Jackie Neuharth. Se- cetary Treasurer Darrel Hinkle. Re- presenting the freshman were Deb- bie Dittman and Jeff Peterson; soph- omores. Marla Lusk and Gene Luze: juniors. Jodi McDonnell and Lori Newton: seniors Tom Durfee and Darin Larson. The student council is responsible for the planning and carrying out of Homecoming. Some of the activities included a slave sale of freshman, a dance Friday night, and different ac- tivities for each day. Other responsibilities included su- pervising the nomination and elec- tion of the class offficers and the cheerleaders and taking any propos- als made by the student body to the school board for consideration. Be- cause of hot weather the student council proposed a new dress code, so shorts would be allowed. The board said no to shorts but yes to mini skirts. The members of the student council were chosen by their classmates, with the officers chosen by the entire student body. They are elected in the spring and announced at Awards Night. Freshman representatives are elected in the fall. ABOVE RIGHI The three brave leaders who lower over the student body are Secretary Treasurer Darrel Hinkle.

We made it to high school. It seems like yesterday when the nineteen of us walked through the doors of HHS. The new students were Jeff Selchert and Tracy Surdez. We had lost Tim Hansen, and Becky and Jenny Nemec. Class officers for our Freshman year were; Jackie Neu- harth and Chad Eldeen. student council representatives; Tracey Sur- dez. president; Jill Pekarek. vice- president; Jeff Selchert. secretary; and Dan Lusk, treasurer. For the first time Jeff Selchert tried to be an an- gel as he gave his marshal speech. When new rules were made they al- ways seemed to start with our class, and it was no different when the Board of Regents required that stu- dents have two years of foreign lan- guage before entering a stale sup- ported school. Some of us held out. in hopes that this rule would be re- pealed. and it later was. Mr. Peter- son tried to give vocabulary quizes but didn't seem to notice everyone always had their book wide open on the floor. The football team made the playoffs, but were defeated by Sully Buttes 8-7. Our sophomore year. Becky and Jen- ny Nemec returned after attending a private school in Rapid City. Tracy Surdez. moved to Sturgis. Jill Pe- karek was our Hugh O'Brien dele- gate and Chad Eldeen was our Mar- shal Candidate. Class officers were Jackie Neuharth and Dan Lusk, stu- dent council representatives; Jeff Selchert. president; Tork Cowan, vice-president; Doug Hinkle, secre- tary: and Chad Eldeen. treasurer. The boys decided to boycott the girls that were running because they were mad at them, but Jackie was elected because only two ran for that office. Waiters and waitresses were; Darin Larson. Dan Lusk. Jeff Selchert. Kip Baloun. Jon Vilhauer. Chad Eldeen. Becky Nemec. Jenny Nemec. Jill Pe- karek. Heather VanDenBerg. and Jackie Neuharth. Sheri Dugan left mid-way through the year and went to Minneapolis. We got to dissect delicious looking worms and clams in Biology I. Jill Pekarek.

Highmore entered into a co-op with the Har rold High School to form one foot- ball team. Five athletes from HarroM made up a total of twenty-eight play- ers from the two schools. The team was under the supervision of head coach Jon Jacobs and assistant coach Larry Marso. The first win for the newly formed football co-op came when the Pi- rates edged the Wessington-Wolsey Warbirds in a defensive battle 10-8. The game was the homecoming cli- max for both the Highmore and Har- rold schools. The major injury of the season was in the Faulkton game, when quarter- back Darin Larson was hit just after making a six point pass to Danny Lusk. The hit resulted in a ambu- lance trip to the hospital where it was determined that Larson had a broken collar bone, which put him out for the season. The Pirates ended the season on a high note, defeating the Ipswich Ti- gers 26-1. The over-all record for the season was 2-6.

The players on the bench proved just how important subs can be with the enthusiasm they pro- vided and the reassurance that they were always ready if they were need- ed. Even though their season was not as successful as they had hoped, the team did learn cooperation, team- work. and leadership skills. 48 JV GIRLS BASKETBALL CHEERLEADERS CO-OPERATE CO-OPERATE. We've got the combination for the best team in the nation ...” Combination was the key to success of school spirit. With the co-op be- tween the Highmore and Harrold football teams, enthusiasm from both schools was brought forth. The football cheering section was led by three Highmore cheerleaders and two Harrold cheerleaders. The other five squads also did an outstanding job in keeping the crowds alive and kicking under the supervision of LeAnn Suhn and Julie Leier. The cheerleaders raised money for their outfits and cheerleading camp by holding three car washes. The money was allotted to each cheer- leader for the amount of time that they put forth as an individual. Jack- ie Dittman. Kaela Goodrich, and Christine Volek used their portion of the earnings to attend the Coyote Cheerleading Camp which was held in July on the campus of the Univer- sity of South Dakota. The girls learned many new chants, cheers, lifts, and routines which they brought home to inspire new spirit within the cheering sections. After the final home game of each sport, the cheerleaders provided an evening of remembrance of the sea- son. In honor of the players and their parents, the cheerleaders hosted the annual Parent's Night. Slide presen- tations were shown and lunch was served.

Mr. Roger Edwards acted as head coach of almost 40 young competitors. Miss Robin Roller assisted with the runners and was specifically in charge of the hur- dles. Mr. Byron Youngquist provided guidance for the shot put and discus throwers as well as the long jumpers, high jumpers, and triple jumpers. Highmore competed in nine meets, including regions. This year only two new records were set: the boys 3200 meter relay, which consisted of Shaun Sporrer, Bruce Bucholz. Shawn Baloun. and Dan Lusk and Bruce Bucholz set a new record in the 3200 meter run. Highmore placed in nearly all of the meets they attended. The girls team placed in both the 3200 meter relay and the 1600 meter relay at most meets. The girls 400 and 800 meter relays placed frequently. Marla Lusk helped give the girls team an extra push by placing in the shot put and discus at every meet. The boys team also placed in the 3200 meter relay and the 1600 meter relay fairly con- sistently throughout the season. Dan Lusk and Bruce Bucholz aided their team by placing at the top of the pack in both the 3200 meter run and the 1600 meter run. At regions in Huron. Highmore qualified nine tracksters for the state competition in Sioux Falls. The girls qualified in the 1600 and 3200 me- ter relay teams. The 1600 meter re- lay team consisted of Stacey Scott.

TRACK 55 WRESTLING SENIORS ADVANCE The Highmore wrestling squad was composed of a number of young matmen. but under the direction of seniors Tork Cowan and Doug Hin- kle the team gained valuable exper- ience. Tork and Doug showed their composure and wrestling knowledge by advancing to the State Wrestling Tournament in Watertown. A new activity to raise money was held by the wrestlers. They each went out and got people to pledge so much money for every up-down they could do. An up-down requires the person to run in place and then fall to the ground when the whistle is blown. They then do a standup and begin running once again. Cliff Becker succeeded in completing 1000 of the up-downs. The money was used to buy knee pads, a five gallon cooler, and Gatoraide. The four returning lettermen for the squad were Tork Cowan. Doug Hin- kle. Morris Reber. and James Kin- dopp. They were joined by a first year sophomore. Treg Cowan: eighth graders. Keith Meek. Danny King, and Cliff Becker: and seventh grad- ers. Justin Kindopp. Kenny Hoffman, and Ryan Rittel. Sophomore. Vance Olson was also a member of the squad for half of the year. The team's dual record of 2-9 is not a good indication of the squad's per- formance. Four weights were usually forfeited by the Pirates which was frequently the deficit of the loss. As in many sports, injuries also hin- dered the wrestlers' year. Doug Hin- kle was unable to participate for nearly all the year. Morris Reber de- veloped tonsillitis, while Kenny Hoffman was unable to participate in Districts because of impetigo. Treg Cowan and other members of the team were plaqued by minor injuries throughout the season. Defeating Sunshine Bible Academy at Parent's Night and advancing five wrestlers to Regions in Philip were a couple of highlights of the season. Those advancing to Regionals were James Kindopp. Morris Reber. Tork Cowan. Treg Cowan, and Doug Hin- kle. Of these. Doug and Tork were the only two to advance to the State Wrestling Tournament. Mitch Leier. second year head coach, was pleased with his team's performance, since his squad was composed of so many junior high grapplers. Leier was assisted by Mike Hoffland in his coaching duties. CENTER: ABOVE: The wrestling squad con sisted of the following. FRONT ROW Andrea Knox. Kim Knox.

One of these tournaments was held in Highmore in place of the varsity tourney. Seven teams attended the TO VARSITY tounament. Placing for Highmore were Cliff Becker first. Justin Kin- dopp first. Danny King second. Keith Meek first. Kenny Hoffman first, and Treg Cowan first. Nearly all of the those who wrestled JV also contributed in varsity com- petition.

Classes included general business math, advanced business math, typing, word processing, office occupations, and accounting. General business math was taught by Mrs. Sharon Baloun the first se- mester: Mrs. Sally Whiting taught the class during the second semes- ter. This class studied different mathematical applications that will be used in everyday situations. In- cluded in these functions are frac- tions. decimals, and percentages. Mrs. Sally Whiting instructed the ad- vanced business math class. This course covered complicated math problems. The class mainly consisted of sophomores who had already tak- en the general business math course. Word processing and office occupa- ABOVt RIGHT: Mr .

RIGH T: Doug Hinkle uses Appleworks to com - plete his English term paper. lions, accounting, and two Typing I classes were instructed by Mrs. Re- nee Gauer. Word processing and of- fice occupations dealt with a com- puter. a calculator, a word proces- sor. and other machines that are commonly found in an office setting. The accounting class learned how to balance the books for a business, and were intoduced to various busi- ness forms. Typing I students learned how to type letters, memo- randa. reports, tabulations, rough drafts, and unarranged copy effi- ciently. Most of the students who are taking the business classes feel that key- boarding is an essential part of to- day's high school and college cur- riculum. Education is expanding technologically, and the business arts department is fulfilling the needs of the students to learn new methods and applications. 60 BUSINESS ARTS FINE ARTS HAVE FUN WITH TALENTS The high school music year began with All State Chorus tryouts. Eight members represented Highmore High School at All-State Chorus in Sioux Falls. Two concerts were held during the year, and the chorus also performed at baccalaureate and graduation. The choir attended the Regional Music Contest in Aber- deen. where many individuals sang solos as well. Marla VanDenBerg. a first-year chorus member, staled. I didn't know singing could be so much fun and such hard work at the same time!'' The mixed chorus was again led by veteran vocal director Miss Lola Lee. who has been in the Highmore school system for the past six years. The art classes, taught by Mrs. La- Vaughn Busse. were composed of four different courses: Art I. Art II. Art III. and Art IV. Art I students became familiar with the history of art from ancient times to present day. and learned about painting, drawing, stage design, cartooning LEFT Kevin King.

Art III consisted of fur- ther study in the areas of history drawing and painting. The Art IV class was an individual study and projects course. The band, directed by Mr. Byron Youngquist. was composed of twen- ty members. These young musicians played at various activities through- out the school year. The pep band entertained at many sporting events including a Huron College basket- ball game and the Regional Boys' Basketball tournament. They com- bined with the Harrold High School band on numerous occasions. The concert band held two concerts, as well as attending the Regional Music Contest. The marching band com- peted in the Gypsy Days Parade in Aberdeen. FINE ARTS 6 ABOVE RIGHT: It seems as though taking a test requires deep concentration for Renee Knox. Marilynn Hoffland.

As a part of English II. the sopho- mores were required to take a se- mester of speech. Vocabulary, gram- mar. and literature were also a part of sophomore English. A major pro- ject at the end of the year was to make a news video. Mrs. Barbara Roseland instructed English III and IV. English III was a combination of reviewing grammar skills, vocab development skills, and a thorough survey on American lit- erature. The classic American novel Huckleberry Finn was studied near the close of the year. English IV consisted of grammar re- view and vocab expansion to im- prove written expression. The third quarter was spent on a research pa- per of considerable length and depth. The seniors studied Macbeth. Out of the Silent Planet, and Lord of the Flies. Besides teaching Enlish. Mrs. Rose- land also taught German. Unfortu- nately. a German I classs did not fit into her schedule so she only in- stucted German II. The German II class consisted of three sophomores. They had taken German I and com- pleted German II to further their knowledge and understanding of this language. Marla VanDenBerg. a German II student, applied to be a foreign exchange student to Ger- many. She competed to the semi-fin- als. 62 LANGUAGE ARTS SOCIAL SCIENCES TRIPS HIGHLIGHT YEAR Under the instruction of Social Sci- ence teacher.

SPORT OF MINDS 67 ADMINISTRATION OLD POLICIES MAINTAINED The superintendent, the principal, and the school board amde up the administration for the school. They managed to make difficult decisions concerning school policies. Superintendent John J. Biegler has held his position at Highmore for six years. His responsibilities involved the school board and the faculty as well as applying for grants and act- ing as the district's truent officer. His major duty involved the cutting of the budget due to declining enroll- ment and the current farm situation. Mr. Gary Markuson made his debut as a principal this year at Highmore High School. He acted as athletic di- rector. Student Council advisor, sen- ior class advisor, and head boys' basketball coach. His major duties involved the upkeep of his atten- dance book and the general conduct of the high school. The school board consisted of these seven individuals: President Jim Faulstich. Willis Klebsch. Larry Pe- terson. Marguerite Oligmueller. Greg Myers. Leroy Scott, and Ben Nemec. The school board was in charge of making decisions regard- ing the hiring and firing of teachers, the groundwork for starling an all- sports co-op with Harrold. and mak- ing many other decisions involving education policies in the Hyde County District. They made these decisions at regular monthly meet- ings as well as special meetings. ABOVE RIGHT: Principal and head boy ' bas ketball coach. Mr Gary Markuson gives a speech at parent's night.

SERVICE STAFF ADAPTS TO CHANGE The upkeep of the high school was the duty of head custodian Mitch Leier until March when lie took a two month leave of absence and de- cided not to return. Tonita Hamlin, assistant custodian, was forced to break in a new head custodian. The new clean-up man turned out to be Wayne Hamlin. They cleaned the school, kept things in working order, and did yard work and general main- tainance. The flow of work which went through the principal’s office was handled by Geneva Fieldsend. She was in charge of the typing of the memo, the purchase and punching of lunch tickets, and distribution of make-up slips. As the superinten- dent’s secretary. Nadine Stephenson wrote out school checks, did the bookkeeping, and aided Mr. Biegler as well as the school board. Well-balanced noon meals were pre- pared by as well as served by Deanne Hertel. Darlene Dalton. Betty Philips, and Babette Hale. Darlene Dalton acted as the head cook. She ordered the food and planned the menus.

BELOW RIGHT: Louise Byrum sifts through the card catologue. BELOW: Student photographers put the squeeze on their chemical dependency SPECIAL PEOPLE ALWAYS AVAILABLE Behind the scenes of every high school there are a few hardworking individuals who often receive little recognition for the amount of time spent on the job. The school photographers are among those people. They put in hours of time at night and on week- ends both in the dark room and on the scene recording history at all school functions. Without the pho- tographers there would be no school paper or yearbook. Leanne Suhn. our guidance counsel- or. acts as sounding board, confi- dant. and friend to HHS students and teachers alike. Her job encompasses both the elementary and the high school. She can be found working in her office, in the classroom and oc- casionally in a students home. Her office light shines well into the even- ing hours on many nights. Mrs. Suhn's unceasing efforts to obtain student financial aide for graduating seniors has become a standard at HHS. Mrs. Suhn also serves as cheer- leading advisor, senior class advisor and gymnastics coach. Our school librarian is on the job every morning each day of the week. She literally checks out and checks in thousands of books each year for both the elementary and the high school. Her job also includes orga- nizing all audio-visual teaching aides. Her assistant. Mrs. Louise Byrum. is employed under the Green Thumb Program . Amy Genzler and Billy Brueggeman worked as student librarians this year. 70 SPECIAL PEOPLE ORGANIZATIONS DIVISION 71 HISODAK DEADLINES MET For the first time, annual deadlines were set and met (Not all. but somel) The staff worked steadily through- out the year.

PIRATE JOURNAL 73 FHA MOVING TO SUCCESS The Highmore Chapter of Future Homemaker of America launched the year in August with an officer N training workshop. The first meeting was a picnic in September; the Chap- ter became fifty members strong. The Chapter was busy working with the community; some of the projects included an Easter Egg Hunt and Halloween Party for the small chil- dren of the community. The child development class made several trips to the local daycare, where they worked and played with the chil- dren. Many displays were put up in local businesses to advertise the or- ganization. During National Family Week, the Chapter did grocery bag art. made flyers for the stores, table tents for the restaurants, and had a Family Fun Night. The child development class took a field trip to Sioux Falls and visited the NeoNatal Unit, a daycare, and the Crippled Children's Home. PEP Day was held for the first time. Speakers addressed certain leer concerns, such as. eating disorders, stress. AIDS, and teen pregnancy. PEP Squad member Cathy Faulstich reached over three hundred teens, and sponsored several school activi- ties. Bod Squad member Kip Baloun was busy promoting good health and nutrition and writing articles for the local paper. Before Christmas, members had se- cret friends. At the joint FBLA FHA Christmas party, the secret friends were revealed and gifts were ex- changed. Last summer, three delegates were sent to the National Convention to compete in the STAR event. New and enlightening information was ob- tained for the Chapter. In January. Highmore participated at the District meeting. Thrity two of the thirty eight members who gave Action Activities advanced to the State Convention. Cathy Faulstich ran for a district office and was se- lected as co-chairperson of the March of Dimes. The Highmore Chapter presents nu- merous recognition awards through- out the year. During Homecoming week, the Chapter recognized the football team, the cheerleaders, the student managers, and the coaches with a special breakfast. The Chapter recognized the teachers at a coffee party after school during FHA week. Each month the Chapter selected an Outstanding Member of the Month; at the May Spring Tea. honorary memberships, degrees and other awards were given. This was also when the new officers are installed. At the conclusion of the year, a trip to Minneapolis was taken by the four year senior members of the organi- zation. They toured the Walker Art Center. Byerly's. and the Science Museum. The highlights of the trip were going to Chanhassen Dinner Theater, cheering on the Twins at a ball game, and shopping at the Southdale Mall. 74 FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA OPPOSITE PAGE: ABOVE RIGHT Officer Cindy Faulstich and Kip Baloun cling together for a year of hard work.

This year started out with the marching band competing in the annual Gypsy Days Parade in Aberdeen in October. The diminui- tive band spent many hours march- ing down the streets of Highmore to prepare for the parade. On December 18th. a Christmas concert entertained the public. A few of the band members traveled to Aberdeen for the Aberdeen Regional Music Contest on February I Ith for solos and small groups. Julie Haiwick received a superior on both her Clarinet solo and her Piano solo. Becky Nemec received a superior on her Flute solo and Jenny Nemec re- ceived a superior on her Baritone solo.

Justin Runestad and Darin Larson make up the chorus for the 1986-1987 year. After losing eight seniors and most of the males in the chorus at the end of the 1986 school year, the 1987 seniors grouped together last fall and joined chorus. The year was filled with events that gave the choir many chances to har- monize the new voices with the old. The calendar first brought about All- State Chorus, which was held in Souix Falls on November seventh and eighth. The delegates were. Dan Lusk. Justin Runestad. Jenny Nemec. and Becky Nemec. The alternates were: Julie Haiwick. Marilynn Hof fland. Doug Hinkle, and Ken Fyler. The next activity was the Christmas concert. Immediately after the con- cert. preparation for the Regional Music Contest took place. Many so- loists and duets received superior ratings. The contest was held in Ab- erdeen. Aberdeen became a favorite spot for the chorus as they traveled there once again for the group contest. They performed two pieces entitled Sanctus and Gospel Ship.” They received an excellent rating. Once again Caberet gave opportuni- ties to show some individual talent. As in the preceding year, all of the men's chorus was seniors, so next year will be another year of recruit- ing new members The final tasks arose in May as Bac- caleurate and graduation confronted the chorus. Some unexpected and sad news came at the end of the year. Miss Lola Lee. who had direct- ed the chorus for the last six years, handed in her resignation-, therefore, the final performances went too fast for all of her students. 84 CHORUS GRADES HORIZONS ARE BROADENED Elementary principal. Phyllis Scott, and her seasoned secretary. Deb Ol- son. lead the grade school and ju- nior high through an action filled year, which was filled with the tradi- tional. as well as. some new events. Expanding the 3'Rs seems to be the custom rather than a novelty for Highmore grade school. From 4th grade on. the grade students are eli- gible to take band lessons and par- ticipate in grade band. Mr. Young- quist doubles as both grade and high school band director. The grades also expand their music appreciation by attending vocal sessions with Miss Lee two days a week. Their an- nual Christmas Concert. Winter Holiday”, was held early in De- cember. The fifth grade band made their debut at this concert. The Jr. High Band also performed a special program. Several high school classes seemed to take a sudden interest in the grade school this year. The Home Ec. I students introduced their younger protege's to food labs and proper nutrition. The VoAg classes helped each child to create his own wood project. The school counselor. Leanne Suhn. held individual and group counsel- ABOVE RIGHT� Veteran custodian.

Topics dealing with self-esteem, communi- cation. prevention of sexual abuse, goal setting, decision making and career awareness were investigated. Due to decreased enrollment in H.H.S elementary students also par- ticipated in the high school athletics program. The high school cross- country. track, and wrestling teams especially appreciated this effort on the part of such young athletes. A highlight of the grade schools '86-87' term was Reading Week”, held February 23-21. All grades K-8 participated in numerous activites throughout the week. This years theme was Get High On Books . A helium balloon launch was. by stu- dent concensus, the most exciting event of the week. One balloon was found as far away as Illinois. On Fri- day. all the classes presented plays and skits, and awards were given. Amanda Busse won the poster con- test. Her poster Clown Around With Books will be the theme for the 1988 reading week. Ribbons on Rally Day. May 13th. drew the 1986-87 school year to a close. f ■ H A FEW SURVIVE Four highly active country schools remained in the Highmore school district.

We often found it difficult to maintain our sense of humor and CLOSING our sense of dedication while put- ting together this piece of history. But it was worth it! We hope you have been challenged to relive the year of 86-87 as was seen through our eyes. We hope this book recaptured those moments of joy as well as sorrow that the stu- dents of HHS felt this past year. It is truly time to move on and truly. It's Our Move”.
