INSIDE 8$ TITLE PAGE I Inside Story Contents Inside 88. The building of dreams, hopes, goals, and memo- ries that will last a lifetime. The first time in eleven years for double figures, and each one stands for the class of 1988 as a unit. The names inside the 88 on the cover depict the seniors as a whole. As senior editors, we have captured the effects that en- hanced Highmore High School. Each photograph produces an im- age that is seen on the outside, but is felt, relived, and treasured on the inside. We have delved deeper into the individual, the moment, and have learned to see not only the memory from the appearance outside, but from the emotion, inside. Inside the times . . . In- side yourself . . . Inside 88.

ACTIVITIES DIVISION 5 HOMECOMING Council Sparks Involvement Involvement was the norm for the entire student body during home- coming week. 1987. The highlight of the fall social calendar was held from October 19-24. The student body carried out a 50's theme which the student council had se- lected. Each day of the week — long celebration held special activities which were designated and orga- nized by the student council. On Monday, the freshman class, Mr. Gunn. Mr. McGoldrick and Mr. Edwards were auctioned off to the rest of the student body. The pro- ceeds went to the student council to pay for flowers and the disk jock- ey for the dance. Marshal speeches were given Monday. Since corona- tion was held on Monday evening. Monday was also designated as dress-up day”. Candidates for the 1987-88 Marshal were: Jason Jirsa, freshman: Chad Hall, sophomore: Jeff Smith, junior: Charlie Bloomen- rader, senior. Last year's marshal. Jackie Dittman, turned over her ti- tle to Charlie Bloomenrader who then served as master of ceremo- nies for coronation. The candidates for royalty were: Mary Zastrow, Jackie Dittman. Kaela Goodrich. Bruce Bucholz. Brad Hall and Shawn Baloun. King Brad Hall and Queen Kaela Goodrich were crowned. The crown bearers were first graders. Dustry Reeves and Rachael Myers. Fifties theme lip sync skits were performed by each class and a Pi- rates Grease the Battlers” back- drop, which had been painted by the art classes, decorated the stage. A pep rally, with all cheer- leaders participating in a hand jive, and the burning of the H” rounded out the evening's festivities. On Tuesday the students did their best to look cool for Cool Day”. Wednesday brought out an assortment of pajamas and stuffed animals for Pajama Day”. Thurs- day's theme brought students to classes wearing duds for Too Big Day”. On Friday, students greased back their hair and put on their red bobby socks for 50’s and Red and White Day”. Kangaroo court and a 50’s bop were held in the afternoon. Although the spirit ran high throughout the school during the week, the game score for the Pi- rates football team remained low on Friday night with the Pirates losing to the Gettysburg Battlers 42-6. A closed dance was held after the game with music provided by Mag- num Sound System. ABOVE RIGHT: The Homecoming queen can- didales try to look cool and collected before the coronation ceremony.

HOMECOMING 7 —— ALL-SCHOOL PLAY Play It Cool Learning to play it cool” can sometimes be very difficult for a teenager, especially when trying to attract the opposite sex. The 1988 all-school play. Luann . was a musi- cal dealing with the hardships of a girl's life. Luann. played by Sandi Nickelson. is desperate for some at- tention from the school fox. Aaron Hill, alias Shane Vlcek. But the only person she can attract is the typica' nerd named Gunther, portrayed by Gene Luze. Luann’s best friends. Delta and Berniece. (Leanne Smith and Christine Volek), encourage and support Luann to try out for cheerleading. That way. Aaron Hill would just have to notice herl But instead of getting cheerleader. Luann wins the position of school mascot, none other than the pit bull for Pitts High School. When beauti- ful and snobby Tiffany, alias Deb Dittman. is asked to the school dance by Aaron Hill, Luann's disap pointment reaches an all-time high. Ms. Allison: her teacher ahd fripnd. 4 (Jodi McDonnell (.encourages (.uanR to take pride in her ability to make people laugh. Meanwhile, Ms. Phelps, the school counselor, played by Paula Haiwick. is desperately trying to get the struggling novelist and teacher Mr. Fogarty, portrayed by Barney Ne- mee. to notice her. Typically, at the close of the play, they fall madly in love. Luann's brother Brad, (Shawn Ba- loun). and his girlfriend. (Lori New- ton). endure the many vicissitudes of being a senior. Darlene wants to get married, but Brad isn’t ready for that kind of responsibility yet. During the last scene of the musi- cal. a football game is in progress. Luann is the mascot: Delta is a cheerleaders Berniece is in the band. They all enjoy the game, even though it ends in defeat. Luann had a great time just picking on Tiffany. But when Aaron Hill tells her that she was great. Luann loses her com- posure. But Delta saves the day by telling everyone to just play it cool!”. The grand finale is per- formed in style, and was sung by the entire cast, which consisted of many members in a chorus. Barbara Roseland directed the musical. Jackie Dittman provided the choreography, and Julie Haiwick volunteered her musical talents as accompanist. ABOVE RIGHT- Aric Baloun and Jackie Ditt- man are providing their guidance.

Each play was judged, and A Canterbury Tale from the Wife of Bath won the right to ad- vance on to the regional one-act play contest in Mobridge. The play did not advance on to the state competition, but Shane Vlcek and Kaela Goodrich each won superior acting awards at the regional con- test. Happily Never After” is a play that adds certain twists to fairy tales to give them a contemporary touch. The love matches are not happy with their spouses. They de- cide to go to a marriage counselor who was played by Lori Newton. The counselor rearranges the ro- mances to satisfy them, but she just ends up making everything worse. The comedy Not My Cup of Tea evolves around Emmie. Jessi- ca. and Mother. Emmie, (alias Bren- da Newton), is practically brainless. Jessica, (alias Sherri McDonnell), is the dominant sister and has a ten- dency to be rather bossy. Mother. (Sandi Nickelson). is the typical old lady who likes to relive old memo- ries of the times of yore. The sisters want to be free from Mother's rule, but their solution is a rather shock- ing and drastic one at that when they sit down for an unusual cup of tea. A Canterbury Tale from the Wife of Bath is set in the Middle Ages during the times of dragons and knights. Sir Gallant Dilemna. played by Aric Baloun. has killed the King's prize stag and must die for it. He is given twenty-four hours to live if he can answer a simple ques- tion: What is it that a woman wants most of all? Easy question, right? The results are outrageous and a guest appearance by Gene the jackass Luze is hilarious! ABOVE RIGHT. The cast and crew let off some steam while reminiscing over their par- ticipation in the plays.

SCIENCE FAIR II PROM Seniors Are Saluted The senior class of 1988 was salut- ed by the junior class during the annual Junior-Senior Prom held on April 8 at the Hyde County Memori- al Auditorium. The juniors spent many hours decorating the place in various shades of pink, black, and silver for the gala event. The theme was 'Evening In Paradise', while the march songs included Angel'. When the Children Cry', and 'Save Your Love’. A gazebo was placed in front of the stage, and a small bridge was situated in the center of the auditorium. Shane Vlcek. junior class presi- dent, welcomed the junior class' guests to the 'Evening In Paradise’. Bruce Bucholz. senior class presi- dent. accepted the welcome of the junior class, and thanked them on behalf of the senior class. The invo- cation was given by Pastor Steve Meyer, followed by the dinner. The meal consisted of gelatin, turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gra- vy. corn, dinner rolls, punch, and cherry cheesecake. It was served by five waiters and waitresses dressed as French maids and but- lers. Following the meal, the senior class history was read by Cindy Faulstich. Lori Newton then read the class prophecy, and Christine Volek closed by reading the class wills. The final event of the evening banquet included a talk by Pastor Steve Meyer. The Grand March opened to the public at 9t00 p.m. Following the march, music was pro- vided by the band 'Wakefield', who played until 1:00 a.m. A breakfast was then served by the junior class' parents after the conclusion of the dance.

Amy Genzler. and Cathy Faulstich. Requests heard from the players such as: Where's the water?” and Get me a towel! kept these manag- ers busy. These demands were common among the boy's basketball play- ers. the track team, and the wrestlers. Statisticians for boy's basketball were: Julie Haiwick, Paula Haiwick. Debbie Dittman. and Heidi Gerrits. Clifford Becker took on the duties of be- ing track student manager. Wrestling managers were: Kim Knox, Leslie Meek. Carrie Stir- ling.

CROSS COUNTRY 21 Familiarity Delivers Success GIRL’S BASKETBALL When I get older and look back at the 1987 girls basket- ball team , I’ll remember seventeen girls who never gave up on themselves and played with pride. In sports the two famous words are 'what if, well’. -Roger Edwards, Head Coach Intrinsic to the success of the girls basketball team this year was the determination and persever- ance of the five seniors who had played together since sixth grade. Under the coaching skills of head coach Roger Edwards, the varsity team was composed of the follow- ing: sophomores, Debbie Dittman and Brenda Newton-, juniors, Marla Lusk, Nancy Durfee, Renee Knox and Marilynn Hoffland; seniors. Christine Volek, Jackie Dittman. Evelyn Bucholz, Jodi McDonnell and Cindy Faulstich. Contributing to the Central Conference, District and Regional tournament team were Lisa Busse. Jennifer Faulstich, Stephanie Busse. Amy Kilber and Michelle Luze. The girls finished with a 14-10 win- loss record.

Coach With the coaching skills of Robin Boiler, the JV girls’ basketball team hustled their way through a rocky season. The team consisted of six fresh- man, two sophomores, and two ju- niors who gained experience through equal playing time which they hope will help them gain varsi- ty positions next year. Practice sessions for the team in- cluded a substantial amount of time playing either with or against the varsity squad. Several of the JV players contributed to the varsity campaign. 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 needed. Even though their season was not as successful as they had hoped, the girls did learn cooperation, team- work. and leadership skills.

If this was just the stepping stone, these young wrestlers’ future has the potential to be a larger piece of granite than Mt. Rushmore.” -Mitch Leier, Head Coach The Highmore wrestling squad was led by head coach Mitch Leier and assistant coach Tom McGol- drick. The young team was com- posed of five returning lettermen: junior Treg Cowan, sophomore James Kindopp. freshman Cliff Becker, and eighth graders Kenny Hoffman and Ryan Rittel. Rounding off the squad were eighth grader Justin Kindopp and seventh grader John Hoffman. Student managers and statisticians for the grapplers were Leanne Hoffman. Kim Knox. Leslie Meek. Roxanne Buchholz. and Carrie Stirling. Cheering for the team were Pam Smith. Andrea Knox. Katina Kusser. and Heidi Ger- rits. Although the squad was com- posed of young wrestlers, many in- dividual career and single season school records were broken by sophomore James Kindopp and freshman Cliff Becker. Cliff Becker broke both career and single season take-down records. James Kindopp broke the career reversal record, both career and single season pin and technical foul record, career nearfall record, and the career win record. Advancing to Regionals were Treg Cowan and Kenny Hoffman. Treg Cowan went on to compete in the State Wrestling Tournament at Watertown. ✓ WRESTLING 75 Inner Endurance Is Key BOY’S BASKETBALL Although we only were four and fifteen the guys played some very good basketball. Sometimes the ball wouldn’t go in the hoop, sometimes we were missing a starter, but through it all. the boys hung in there. My wish for them was that we would have had a better season even though they are all winners in the game of lifel” Gary Markuson, Head Coach With the return of only two start- ers and only three letterwinners. the boy’s basketball team for the 1987-88 season had a rebuilding year. Inner endurance and hard work became the key to a success- ful season. Under the coaching of Gary Mar- kuson and assistant coach Roger Ed- wards. three seniors, three juniors, four sophomores and two freshman began practice in late November. The team suffered through a 0-6 start before collecting their first win. The Pirates picked up their first victory in the opening round of the Hyde County Action Club Tour- nament by defeating Lower Brule 66-65. In the semifinal action the Pirates were hoping to make it two wins in a row but fell short as Wak- pala won by a score of 72-59. The next night the Pirates were put up against the Harrold Cardinals for the third place trophy in the tourna- ment. Even though they were com- rades on the football field, this was a whole new ballgame. The Pirates came out on top 72-70. It didn’t look good for Highmore with only four seconds left and the Cardinals ahead by one. Shawn Baloun in- bounded to Kevin Larson who made a scramble past the half-court line and shot for a long three-pointer. The buzzer sounded as the ball swished the net. the Pirates had earned the third place spot. Kevin Larson and Brian Roberts were named to the all-tournament team. After another six hard losses, the Pirates came away with their third win of the season, 85-84, in two overtimes over the Hoven Grey- hounds. Brian Roberts hit a three- pointer with just two seconds left in the game for the win. The team ended the regular season on a high note by once again beating the Har- rold Cardinals for their fourth win of the season. The Highmore Pirates entered District 6B as seventh seed, being matched up with the second seed team, the Crow Creek Chieftains. The Pirates couldn’t quite hang on in the second half as the Chieftains ran away with a 90-66 win over the Pirates. The Pirates ended their season with a 4-16 record.

BOY'S BASKETBALL 21 Inbound Experience JV BASKETBALL Mr. Markuson and Mr. Edwards really worked us hard this year and hopefully playing the varsity basketball that we did will help pay off next year.” John Kutz, JV Guard Under the instruction of Assis- tant Coach Roger Edwards, three ju- niors, four sophomores, three fresh- man. and two eighth graders worked together to make up the JV basketball team. Because of the shortage of numbers, the two eighth graders. Ted Ouinn and Pat Brueggeman were brought up to play on the team. Due to the low percentage shoot- ing and numerous turnovers, the team ended the season with a 4-11 win-loss record. Even with a slow start, the boys kept hustling and working with the varsity team to gain the experience they needed to pick up their first win of the season. The B team overcame an eleven- point half-time deficit and used 17 of 21 free throw shooting to defeat the Miller Rustlers by a 61-58 score. The JV also pulled together to beat Stanley County, Wessington, and Harrold. The C” squad defeated both Wessington Springs and Hoven. ABOVE: The JV basketball team consists of: FRONT: H. Gerrits. J.

Because the team members were under- classmen this last season, we have set hopes high for a prosperous future.” Sherri McDonnell, MVP As spring arrived, 13 golfers ap- peared on the course for the 1988 golf season. The linksters were coached by Gary Markuson. The golfers competed at Faulkton and Miller, and Highmore held an invitational at Pierre before going on to the regional tournament. At regions.

Todd Wieseler and Amy Kilber were chosen as most im- proved. and voted MVP was Rod Klebsch and Sherri McDonnell. GOLF 39 Setting Three TRACK Track is a lot of hard work, but it’s worth it when you get to compete at the state meet.” Angel Gibson, High jumper Highmore tracksters could be seen beating their familiar path around the track and football field during the 88 season. Mr. Roger Ed- wards acted as head coach of al- most 40 young competitors. Miss Robin Boiler assisted specifically with the hurdlers while Mr. Paul Gunn provided guidance for the shot put and discus throwers as well as the long jumpers, high jumpers, and triple jumpers. The track team competed in nine meets including regions. This year three new records were set. The girl's 3300 meter relay set a new record of 1047.72 breaking the old record of 10:24. This relay was com- posed of Mary Zastrow, Sarah Du- bois. and Stacey and Jackie Scott. Stacey Scott also set a new record in the 3200 meter run with a time of 13:36.65 breaking the old record of 14:00. The girl’s triple jump was a new event this year, and Nancy Durfee set that record at 29' 5 1 2”. At the regional track meet in Hu- ron. Highmore qualified seven tracksters for the state competition in Brandon and Sioux Falls. The girl's 3200 meter relay team comprised of Mary Zastrow. Sarah Dubois. Stacey Scott, and Jackie Scott took home first place honors at regions, and the 1600 meter relay team of Mi- chelle Luze, Mary Zastrow. Amy Goodrich, and Sarah Dubois also brought home first place at regions. These efforts won these girls the right to compete in the state track meet. On the individual side Mary Zastrow won the 800 meter run. and Angel Gibson placed second in the high jump which advanced her to state. The state track meet was held in Brandon and Sioux Falls, and Mary Zastrow brought home third place in the 800 meter run. ABOVE RIGHT. Michelle Luze leaps over the hurdles.

TRACK 31 Inspiring Spirit CHEERLEADERS No matter what the team record was, we still had that energizing spirit.” Jackie D. Dittman. Sr. Cheerleader Highmore-Harrold football fans were under the varsity guidance of three Highmore cheerleaders along with two Harrold cheerleaders. This was also the make-up of the JV cola- boration. as two Harrold girls joined three Highmore pepsters. Midway through the season, a junior varsity girls basketball squad was added to help cheer on the home team. These squads, along with the other four units, worked to keep school spirit soaring high. The football and girls basketball cheerleaders attended clinics spon- sored by the USD and O’Gorman High School cheerleaders. The girls learned many new cheers, chants and routines which they used to spread enthusiasm throughout the stands. After the final home game of each season, the cheerleaders, un- der the supervision of LeAnn Suhn and Julie Leier. sponsored Parent's Night in honor of the players and their parents.

Chapter I. a federally funded pro- gram. met individual reading and mathematics needs in grades K-8. Students were involved in a variety of activities to facilitate learning. The two people who worked in Chapter I were Mrs. Kitty Johnson and Mrs. Janna Larson. One of the projects organized by Chapter I was Reading Week. This project promot- ed the enjoyment of reading for ev- eryone. Another of our school’s special programs was the Resource Room. The Resource Room provided an education program for those less able to cope in a regular class room setting. The main purpose of the Re- source Room was to prepare each individual to be self-sufficient in the real world. Mrs. Rose Kraft. Mrs. Cindy Volek, and Mrs. Kathy O’Dell worked in the Resource Room. Our school also provided a speech therapy program. This pro- vided help to any students in grades K-12 with a speech disorder. Mrs. Cathy Christmann ran this depart- ment.

GRADE LIFE 93 What’s In A Label Inside the trappings of a 1988 high school student, lies a real person just waiting to emerge upon the outside world. Teachers label them students, coaches tag them athletes, law enforcement registers them as juveniles, a pastor calls them his confirments and parents call them kids. Put- ting away all the educational sys- tem labels, nearly every student at H.H.S. has a unique relation- ship within the outside communi- ty which contributes to the well- being. as well as. the economical status of our small rural town. These kids” are part of the working force that keeps a small town productive. When the school bell signals the end of the day and practice is over, seventy five percent of the enrolled stu- dents at Highmore High assume new titles. These students be- come ranch hands, nurses aides, box boys, grocery clerks, baby- sitters. heavy equipment opera- tors. cooks, waitresses, piano teachers, and farmers. 94 STUDENT LIFE Inside Marla Lusk has worked at ’'The Freeze since her parents began oper- ating Flighmore's only drive-in food service.
