Every friend was very close and dear; Hurley High held something unique for everyone. Looking back, we remember The good times and those not-so-good. But mostly we are reminded of pleasant memories: Always reflecting on the fun we had; And never forgetting our friends at Hurley High. Reflections means being able to have Good memories about the past And build on those for the future. — Debbie Nelson 'hat reminded us uf 'or when he was ymi !vervone called him He arrive in the i on ing early, To clean up the j evions night’s fitesa. Why, who am I Jtlking about ? It has t« be Mr Ness! It's In Each New Day Becomes Something Special This holds true for every student at Hurley. There is always something happening to keep them busy. The trials and tribulations that all students experience provided the most growth. Overall, the days were exciting as well as educa- tional. 6 EXttlT! 1- Miss Tschetter instructs her bookkeeping class. 2- Beth Nielsen hides her face in dismay just as the camera is being clicked. 3- Lorin Larsen takes a break from his demanding studies by relaxing in Coaches chair. 4- As Mrs. Potas helps Christi Bright, the rest of the class continues to work. A Week Of Thrill And Excitement The homecoming week of 1980-81 held excite- ment for everyone. The students in grades 7-12 began working on the floats early in the week. At school the students had fun by having a Hat Day and an Orange and Black Day as part of the home- coming week festivities. As the week progressed anticipation for Friday’s activities mounted. The student council decorated the stage in greens and yellows in preparation for Thursday’s Coronation. Brenda Alberts and Jim Heidelberger were crowned 1980-81 Hurkota Days Royalty. The burning of the H was Thursday night’s finale. The parade was on a windy, but sunny Friday after- noon. 1- Decorating the gym for Coronation, Nancy Christensen and Shari Spomer cooperate to get done fast. 2- Preparing the traditional “H” for Homecoming are Lorin Larson, Jim Heidelberger, Todd Buckstead, and Beth Nielsen. 3- Hard at work, Sheila Weier and Lisa Olesen still find time to have fun with Hat Day. 4- Student Council mem tiers Denise Smith and Lisa Olesen put the final touches on the stage for Coronation. 7 Homecoming Festivities The 1980-81 Homecoming festivities started with the coronation ceremonies on Thursday evening.

The pep rally and the burning of the “H” Thursday night helped get players and fans keyed up for Friday night’s football game against Alcester. Everyone was on hand to cheer on the home team. The Bulldogs fought hard against a tough Alces- ter team that had many older and more exper- ienced players. Though they suffered a substantial defeat, the Bulldogs did score three touchdowns, one a 62 yard run on a kickoff return. The final score of 19-55 did not reflect the determination and effort the Bulldogs put into the game. 1- Lorin Larsen tries to dodge his opponent on his way to the goal. 2- Ready for action, Kevin Smidt and Todd Buckstead get set for the next play. 3- Spreading enthusiasm through the crowd.

Sam’s biggest trouble was get- ting auditions for the almost tal- ented twin sisters, Mini and Maxi. About to be married, Charlie Hackle was a lab technician. He arose one morning just to discover that he had missed his wedding day. After finding himself in the middle of a kidnapping, Charlie discovers that he had been hypno- tized by two Russian spies. As the story ends, Charlie explains the disaster to his fiancee, and Sam finally gets his big break in the advertising business.Iq The group of fifteen juniors and Miss McGill put a lot of time and effort into the preparation of their first class play. The long hours spent memorizing lines and practicing parts were well worth it. Painting scenery, helping with props, and prompting the actors were duties delegated to the outstanding back- stage crew.

During Homecoming Week, the girls spon- sored ‘Bulldog Week’, having an ‘Orange and Black Day’ ana ‘Hat Day’. In January, a volleyball marathon was held. Pledges from the townspeople amounted to approximately $300. For the annual dineout, we visited various places in Sioux Falls: Bell Telephone, Argus Lead- er, Children’s Inn, Juvenile Court Center, and a play at Sioux Falls College. On March 30, our FHA Regional Convention was held at Scotland with many girls taking active part in the conven- tion.

This year’s officers proved themselves equal to the difficult taks of leading a class. Along with organizing their classes’ Homecoming float entries, the officers made important decisions. For the Seniors the de- cision included Homecoming, Skip Day, and Graduation. The exceptionally beautiful prom was evidence of the excellent leadership in the Junior class. The Sophomore class officers prepared their class for the upcoming years at Hurley High. These students overcame many obstacles during the year and look forward to greater responsibility in student government. Although they are new to the high-school scene, the Freshmen officers showed themselves to be excellent leaders. They helped their class adjust to new experiences in high school. 1.

These were the Board of Education and the Student Council. Those who were elected to fill these positions had to be responsible and full of energy. One of the School Board’s major projects, appreciated by the entire community, was the refinishing of the gym.

In spite of these disadvantages the girls struggled through a competitive season to achieve a final 6-8 record. The high scoring of Teresa Mikkelsen and Lisa Olesen, coupled with a strong defense, contributed to a suc- cessful season. The hours of practice, long bus rides, and team effort provided the opportunity for the girls to devel- op friendships while having fun and gaining exper- ience.

District Champs The highlight of the 1980 girls’ basketball season was the victory over Viborg in the District Championship. Long hours of practice, dedication, and self-discipline paid off. Starting the season with a victory over Beres- ford supplied the girls with a winning attitude which carried through most of the season. Many of the games were close contests and kept the crowds in suspense. Linda Christensen received All-Conference, Honor- able Mention, and Most Valuable Player recognition. Denise Smith earned the Hustler Award. Beth Nielsen was selected for the All-Conference team. Penny Od- land was the Most Improved Player.

The boys fought through many close battles during the year. Coach Dean Christen- sen and his assistant, Tom Schreiber, managed to keep the boys “keyed up” for the contests. The boys did a commendable job of maintaining a spirit of enthusiasm and competition. When District play rolled around the Bulldogs drew a bye for the first round of action and then were defeated by Beres- ford in the semi-finals.

The eighth graders added a great deal of team spirit and learned responsibilities throughout the sea- son. The boys improved on their self-confidence while they earned the support of their fans. Every- one tried their best to pull off a successful year. The team was ambitious and always strived for victory. 1. Jerry “skies” for the jump bail. 2.

The 400 meter relay team cut their time, finishing one place away from qualifying for the state meet. Sometimes the girls placed in the top five over- all team standings. A highlight of the season was when the freshmen girls took first place at the Cen- terville Invitational Meet. The boys also did a good job of representing Hur- ley. Because more boys came out for track they were able to run a few relays. Lorin Larsen was the only person from Hurley to qualify for the state meet where he placed first in the long jump and triple jump, and second in the 300 meter hurdles. Single-handedly, Lorin earned the third place rating in the state. 1- Expressing a variety of emotions at a track meet are Linda (the serious one).

Though their successes were minimal, their spirit and determination carried them through the year. Senior co-captains Lorin Larsen and Jim Heidel- berger led the team'in rushing with 747 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 241 yards, 2 touchdowns respec- tively. The defense was led by Lorin Larsen and junior Tim Flint. Larsen was selected for the All- Conference football team, with Tim Flint and Jim Heidelberger receiving Honorable Mention for their efforts. The team played with pride and had many commendable team and individual efforts. 1 Offense: Back row: Steve Sorensen, Lorin Larson, Kevin Smidt. Tim Flint.

During the summer, seven Hur- ley cheerleaders attended a cheer- leading camp. Although the girls had a week of hard work learning new routines, stunts, and tum- bling, they brought home very im- pressive awards to show for it. The cheerleaders for the boys’ varsity basketball team earned the Award of Excellence. This award is given to the most outstanding squad at camp. For a second year, Jean Sanborn was chosen out of Fifty-five girls to receive the All-American Cheer- leader Award. This award is given for cheerleading ability and for spirited personality. Together the Hurley cheer- leaders brought home the spirit stick for their continued pep and enthusiasm throughout the week at Madison.

The season record was 1- 5 for the seventh grade and 2-4 for the eighth grade team. The girls gained much needed exper- ience in spite of their record. They learned the basics of shooting and ball handling, and the fun- damental rules of the game. The Jr. High Football team Finished the season with a very good 2-1 record. A lack of area compe- tition prevented the boys from more contests. The Bulldog Pups were coached by Mr. Steve Janssen. These young athletes proved that they were a tough, competitive team and show promising po- tential. 1 -7th and 8th grade basketball: Back row: Queena Lamb, Linda Peterson, Suzanne Petersen, Tammy Adrian, Coach Peggy Tschetter, Julie Deckert, Shawn Brands- rud.

Many times these sev- enth and eighth graders were called on to participate in high school meets. They learned much about what future years in track will hold for them. This was quite an experience as it was the first time many of them had endured tiring prac- tices and weary muscles. 1- Suzanne Peterson nears the finish line. 2- Boys’ Jr. High Track Team: Back row: Coach Tom Schreiber, Jamie Jo Poppenga, Raye Sher- ard, Mike Smith, Philip Wirth, Curtis Mikkelsen, Coach Steve Janssen.

Kids in grades K-6 spent the day participating in many running and field events. Although they’re still young, their com- petative spirit and good sportsmanship were evident. The upset of the day was the girls’ victory over the boys in the tug-of-war contest. 1- Some 5th and 6th grade girls take a break from the tough competition at Rally Day. 2- Givinft it all she’s got is Jody Homan. 3- The sack race was one of the roughest all day. 4- 0ne contestant’s sack seems to be getting the best of him. 5- Travis Hansen and Tim Spomer strive for the finish line. CLASSES Twelve Year Students Girls And Boys Staters Who have been together through loose teeth and playground fights, high school prom and government class? The Hurley High School 12-year students! These stu- dents have attended school in Hurley all 12 years. Brenda Alberts deserves special recognition for having missed only one day of school since second grade. Participation in government was the main emphasis of the week for the Girls and Boys Staters. They learned that being a government official is often frustrating and difficult. In addition to this, much time was devoted to making friends and having fun. Much valuable experience was gained from their weeks at Mitchell and Aberdeen.

Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Roth and Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Smith served as chaperones and enjoyed their four day weekend with the seniors at the Holiday Inn near Spearfish. Touring the Badlands on the way out was a new experience for several of the seniors. A trip to the Cosmos provided a glimpse into the mysteries of the unknown. Other sights visited were Mount Rushmore, Rushmore Cave, Spearfish Canyon, and Terry Peak. Some of the seniors visited Rep- tile Gardens while others went shopping in the Mall in Rapid City. Riding horses at Nemo and swimming in the heated pool also proved enjoy- able and memorable. 1- Mrs. Ivan Roth and Mrs. Dennis Smith listen to the Seniors talk of the upcoming trail riding. 2- Mt. Rush more provides a scenic background for the sightseers. 3- Linda, Mary Ellen, Sandy, and Jeannie wait anxiously for the cam- era to take their picture—closely avoiding a fall into the cold water. 4- Jim attempted to “break” a so- called horse at Nemo. 5- Rose concentrates on staying on the horse as Sandy, Jim, and Kurt watch. 6 Brenda prepares for the day’s ac- tivities while still recuperating from Friday’s long drive to Spearfish. 7- Waiting for everyone else to get ready for a day of sight-seeing, Den- ise, Kurt, and Linda relax and watch their favorite cartoon. 8- Sandy grabs a bit of shut-eye dur- ing a lull in the journey. 9- Denise found a new friend at Wall Drug. Graduation 1981 The eleven seniors chose the colors of blue and light blue for their class. “Forward We Move, For Today Has Just Begun” served as the class motto. The flower carri- ers presented the class flower, the red rose, to each of the seniors. Because of the long-awaited rain, Baccalaureate and Commencement were held in the school auditorium. Father Schiltz, from the Idylwilde Catholic Church, gave the Baccalaureate sermon. Sandy Lehmann and Linda Christensen gave their Co-Salutatorian addresses and were followed by Jean- nie Sanborn, the Valedictorian. Dr. William Nelson, the President of Augustana College, gave the commence- ment address. Even though the class was small, they were filled with talent, ambitions, and abilities that they used to make their mark on Hurley High. 1. Jeff Bondesen and Teresa Mikkelsen were chosen as flower-carriers. 2. Mr. Gene Odland presents Denise with her diploma. 3. Jim’s smile reflects his thoughts. 4. Hurley graduates of 1981. 5.

Although they were a small class, they were always a close group and often helped each other in their many accomplishments. We hope these individuals maintain their level of success as they leave Hurley to pursue their individ- ual futures. 1. Peggy and Linda are diligently practicing for an upcom- ing concert. 2.

Seniors Jim Heidelberger Peggy Heirigs Seniors 1981 Rosemarie Roth 63 Kurt Schiferl Denise Smith Juniors Have Active Year Fifteen students made up the junior class this year. Magazine sales kept them very busy in the fall. Every- one took an active part in the Junior class play “Suit- able for Hanging” and worked hard to make it a big success. Much hard work was also put into planning and decorating for the Jr.-Sr. Prom. Many juniors also took part in extra curricular activities. They are all looking forward to an exciting senior year.

The number increased to sixteen when Tim Ferguson joined Hurley High, but de- creased to fifteen when Joleen Jensen moved away. Their abilities were tested by numerous classes and projects throughout the year. A large percent were active in football, basketball, track, and cheer- leading. Others were involved in FHA, Pep Club, and Annual Staff. Many also participated in one-act plays. Although the class only placed third on their Homecoming float, their spirits weren’t down for long. Some enjoyed being candle cariers for Sweet- heart Ball and others had the honor of being chosen as waiters and waitresses for the Prom. An unforgettable experience shared by all Sopho- mores was Typing I class. All the Sophomores learned a great deal and are ready to take on their Junior years. 1- Sheila Weier takes great tare in her work as a librarian aide. 2- Tony Ciampa seems content to let the world go by. 3- Mike Mews waits for Mr. Christensenss instructions before be ginning his assignment. 4- Jayne Parsons waits patiently (?) in front of Al s Studio as pictures are being developed. 5- ( indy Jorgensen, Kevin Smidt, and James Wright show their sense of school spirit by participating in ‘Hat Day .

They got to choose certain classes as well as a variety of extra-curricular activities. These extras took up much of their time, but they always found time to he a little “wild and crazy.” 1 « fl 1- Jerry and Charles are momentarily distracted from their work. 2- Johnny did his best to enjoy his going away party. 3- Gary wears his coat in hopes of keep- ing his brain warm. 4- Goose puzzles over Mr. Christian sen’s general math lecture. 5- Judith looks busy—are looks deceiv- ing? 6- Frank seems to have lost interest.

The class work seemed never end- ing at times, especially the English assignments. Mr. C. tried some new approaches to make his classes more fun. Most of the students had the opportunity to do some copy- ing in Science class but a cer- tain group of four boys be- came especially talented in this area. Miss Bossman made Math classes educational and enjoyable at the same time. In Shop and Home Ec. classes students gained valuable knowledge. Due to the few numbers of high school students, many of these eighth graders gained valuable experiences in B- team and Varsity competition in various athletic activities this year.

The number of students dropped to fifteen when Rodney Zeimen moved to Sioux Falls and Jule Deckert re- turned to California. Switching teachers for each class period provided variety and some frustration for this group, but by the end of the first few weeks adjustments had been made. The kids were excited when their Homecoming float earned second place honors. With Mr. V’s help, a dance for the seventh and eighth grades was sponsored by this group. By participating in a wider range of extra-curricular activi- ties, these young teenagers learned more about group par- ticipation, their classmates and themselves.

Fifth And Sixth Graders Active The fifth and sixth graders had their first chance to exper- ience some high school activi- ties during the 1980-81 school year. The students participated in basketball, cheerleading, and B-Band. While working toward their individual goals, the stu- dents learned cooperation and sportsmanship. During the year a cheerlead- ing clinic was held for the pur- pose of teaching the young girls cheering techniques. These girls learned a variety of cheers, stunts and jumps to help them now and in future years. All year the students kept themselves busy by preparing for Junior High in the class- room as well as in these extra- curricular activities.

Each of the classes enjoyed P.E. and they also participated in the musical “Sesame Street Meets the Mup- pets”. These classes found that learning the basics, especially reading, can be very enjoyable and ex- citing. Everything that comes later in life is based on these basic reading, writing, and mathematical skills. The kids not only learned fundamentals, but they also learned courtesy, cooperation, and safety. The first school experiences can be difficult, but the youngsters handled it well. 1.

The 32 seventh and eighth graders found new challenges and rewards during the nine months of school. Not only did class work provide opportunity for growth but also the extra-curricu- lar participation stimulated their minds and bo- dies. Experimenting with new activities helped build self confidence which will prove to be in- valuable during high school years. 1- Judith Benson and Shawn Brandsrud watch carefully as their hands are being dealt for a friendly game of cards during a band study hall. 2- Switching their rapt attention from Mr. Tom Christiansen to the camera, the eighth grade boys take a break. 3- The seventh graders have a good time clowning around dur- ing a long-awaited class party. Reflections Of Days Gone By Every student experienced one type of growth or another. All of us learned new items of interest that were educational. We took on new challenges and learned how to handle them. Just about everyone tried to do their best in everything they attempted. Those who didn't give their all learned that “you get out of life what you put into it.” The ability to work with others required patience and determination. There were a lot of responsibilities to go along with school activities; These will help us develop into reliable adults. Hopefully as we reflect back, we will realize that our foundation was given to us here at HURLEY HIGH! —Debbie Nelson 1- The science classes’ favorite visitor, Fred, gives the day’s lecture. 2- Scott Dangel, caught by the camera, shows off his Mexican sombrero. 3- Try ing to look busy, the library aides ham it up. 4- Jacki Jorgensen releases some inner frustration. 5- Frank’s search continues!!!
