% HURLEY HIGH SCHOOL HURLEY, S.D. 57036 VOLUME 62 Town Grown And Changes In 100 Year History Change is something every town, big or small, experiences and cannot do without. Hurley has used these changes for the betterment of the community and those who live here. This commitment has made it possible for our town to progress toward the future and yet retain its unique individuality. We would like to dedicate this 1983 Centennial edition of the Hurkota Yearbook to the members of the Hurley community, and to the alumni of Hurley High. For each and every one has contributed to the growth of our community. 2 1 Bus drivers today would agree that they are more fortunate than their counterparts of years gone by These men in the pic ture often shoveled blocked roads and snowbound buses by hand. 2 Built in 1920, the third school burned down in 1942. 3- Pktured is the Home Ec. class in 1913 when modern conve niences such as electric ranges were but a dream. 4- Shown a year after completion, the new schoolhouse was con- sidered quite modern for the time. 5 Surrounded by prairie on all sides. Hurley nonetheless was a thriving little town with many large homes 6-Many grandparents will re member riding on buses like these. Rhyme About Town Twas just a little village Hard times and tribulations That had grown upon the plain Stopped at every door. It slumbered in the sunshine But sturdy souls just cried It shivered in the rain We’ll give up no more. But it lived and played a part Progress came but so did pain When the early settlers came. Its roster repeats many a name. Then the railroad passed it by Now the car’s replaced the carriage But the village did not die Jet streams float overhead It just moved across the prairie By the crops that grow around it And took another name. Much of the world is fed. It never grew to world wide fame 100 years filled full of living But it filled the needs of people Has built a town worth our thanksgiving. Just the same. — Olive C. Sanborn 4 Changes Can Be Nostalgic Remember waiting for the first day of school? Learning how to count, Trying to follow every rule. Now grade school seems so simple. Remember those silly parties we threw? Entering junior high was a little scarey, But, through our experiences, we grew. High school made us feel important. We made every year better than the last. All the ball games and prom dates. Wishing they would all forever last. But our ultimate goal was always graduation. So now in front of my parents and friends, I stand, Proud, knowing it was all worthwhile, With that diploma in my hand. — Deb Nelson 1 Nan, one of the few students who comes to school smiling, is ready for another busy day at H.H.S. 2- What was in that soup girls?!! 3- Armed with only her fingernails and teeth.

Ushered to the bandstand by the Junior escorts, the Class of 1983 wore their chosen colors of Dark Blue and Light Blue. During the exercises the Juniors also presented each of the eleven graduates with their class flower, a yellow rose. The class motto In Ourselves the Future Lies” was the theme of the Valedictory and Salutatory speeches. Dr. Joseph McFadden, President of USD, delivered the com- mencement address.

GRADUATING CLASS OF 1983 .r ? a ■ a V M '3� SPECIAL EVENTS A Homecoming parade. Many memories were made. Those dances and class plays Will be special always. Homecoming Is A Memorable Event Coronation was a very memorable event for everyone involved. The student council was busy all week prepar- ing the stage in soft pastels. That set the scene for a beautiful evening. The highlight of the night was the crowning of the 1982-83 royalty. That was followed by a spirit raising pep rally, introductions of teams, speechs, and class skits. Despite the rainy weather that day, the traditional burn- ing of the “H” was still held. It got everybody fired up and ready for the parade and game the next day. 14 1- Hurkota Royalty.

Even though there wasn t much float-building time, the classes worked together to come through with spectacular results. Although it was an extremely hot day, many area bands and local merchants participated in the Homecoming parade, helping to make it an enjoyable event for both participants and spectators. The Homecoming activities came to a climax as a large turnout of Bulldog supporters watched the Bulldogs battle their arch rivals, the Viborg Vikings in the Homecoming football game. 16 17 Hard Work Is Key To Successful Prom On April 23, 1983, all the Juniors’ hard work paid off, as members of the Sophomore through Senior classes stepped into a beautifully decorated gym to the theme of “Love Me Tomorrow”. The delectable meal of pork loins was served by the Sophomore waiters and waitresses. Following dinner Mrs. Vondracek, aided by her husband, gave an inspi- rational presentation as our guest speaker. The soph- omores livened up the pace with their skit perfor- mance and the singing of the theme song in their captivating jungle costumes. Everyone was then entertained throughout the night by the toe-tapping music of Outlaw Fever. The dance floor was paced, a new occurance at Hurley. Toward the close of the evening, the Juniors felt all their hard labor was worthwhile. Prom 1983 was a complete success! 18 1 -Waiters and Waitresses: Dale Schempp, Bryan Knock, Kelly Jorgensen.

The event, which was sponsored by the FHA, was centered around the theme “Two Less Lonely Peo- ple ’. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the new King and Queen Kevin Smidt and Sheila Weier. Also contributing to the excitement of the evening were the candlecarriers, and the return of the 1982 Royalty, Jeff Bondesen and Vicki Elcock. 1 The candle carriers did an excel lent job of lighting the crowning ceremony at Sweetheart Ball These students, chosen from the high school classes were: Back row: Jeff Ness, Lisa Olesen, Dale Schempp Middle row Lora Dux bury, Jerry Wirth.

Seniors Present Successful Play An exciting who-done-it mystery-comedy entitled “The Butler Did It” was presented by the Senior class on the evening of May 6. The story centers around a weekend house party given by the rich and somewhat eccentric Miss Maple. She invites famous detective writers to come as the hero or heroine of their novels; she forbids them to use their real names during the course of the weekend. She plays a few games to determine their sleuthing abilities, but someone confuses them all by committing a real murder. Laughs abound as these self-proclaimed detectives blunder their way onto the discovery of the true murderer. 23 Juniors Turn “Light’s Out” On November 29 and 30, the Junior class presented the mystery-comedy “Lights Out”. This was the first acting experience for many of the Juniors, but after long hours of practice, the play went off with flying colors. With the help and experience of Miss Christensen the play was enjoyed by the performers as well as the audience. As the curtain opened on the old Stilwell estate, the audi ence knew a night of chills and laughter lay ahead. Agnes Harwood is looking for a buyer for the estate and has invited some guests, each having a hidden reason for being there But it is soon established that someone does not want her to sell. The mystery which surrounds the estate is revealed in the final act when diamonds worth a small fortune are found on the property.

Students Gain Stage Experience A series of One Act plays was presented on March 2nd and 3rd. The first play, “The Jury Was Hung” found Littel Quirt the only male member of a hung jury and being driven over the brink by his crazy fellow jury members. The eighth grade did a very convincing job of ex- plaining “Why Teachers Go Nuts”. Steph Lange and Christe Bright presented “The Tex- as Triology”, a duet acting piece. Phil Wirth and Curt Mikkelsen acted out the familiar clas- sic, “Who’s On First?”. Merry Christensen di- rected the students. 2 1- Impatiently waiting to cast their votes, the women of the jury appear bored by Littel Quirt’s long speech. 2- Each trying to out-do the other, Mrs Schnezer and Mrs Umbrage engage in fierce battle. 3- Helen Falconr listens intently for the teacher to call on her.

Athletes Are Rewarded As with many small schools, athletics are a very important part of attending school in Hurley. A large number of high school students are in- volved in sports and spent many long, dedi- cated hours of practice in the gym or on the field during the course of the year. Although team records are seldom rewarding, persons displaying talent and a desire to learn are rec- ognized for their individual efforts. 27 All-Staters Enjoy Trip To Rapid City With 34 members, this year’s high school chorus is among the largest in recent years. The chorus also fea- tured a large bass and tenor section which greatly en- hanced the groups sound. In November, 4 people were chosen to participate in the All-State Chorus. This annu- al event was held in Rapid City and provided an oppor- tunity for sightseeing as well as singing with a choir of 900 voices. In addition to concerts, the chorus also had members perform at the vocal contest held in February. 2tt 1-All eyes intent on the director, the high school chorus performs at graduation 2 High School Chorus: Front row Lora Duxbury, Judith Benson.

Purchased by the Band Boosters, the sharp new uniforms greatly improved the appearance of the band. Although the uniforms didn’t arrive in time for Homecoming, the band was able to “show off” their new gear during the long awaited Centennial parade. The band performed at many concerts this year, entertaining the audience with a wide variety of music styles. Although adverse weather conditions forced the cancellation of the instrumental contest, the soloists and ensembles were judged at the vocal contest and did quite well. 1 Taking a break between songs, Curt attempts to catch a few zzz's. 2 Band Back row Stephanie Lange, Dorothy Brandsrud, Judith Benson, Ben Leber, Direc tor Jill Beers Second row Jeff Knock, Jeff Ness.

For the first time in a number of years, both boys and girls participated in this popular group. “The Best of the Beach Boys” provided the background for some fun- filled singing and dancing. This explosive entertainment combined with a surprise ending kept the audience amused. Bright Hawaiian costumes helped create a 60’s style. This group competed at both the vocal contest and the Coyote Jazz Festival in Vermillion. The all girl show choir was also a crowd pleaser with their humorous version of “The Night Before Christ- mas”. This group performed not only at the Christmas concert but was featured at holidays. 1- Showing off their colorful socks.

Honor Society members are chosen by the faculty and must meet specific aca demic qualifications plus display leader- ship abilities. The H-Club also has condi- tions that must be met by its members. A letter must be earned in a Varsity sport or cheerleading to join the group. The H-Club revived the tradition of hold- ing an annual spring Athletic Banquet. It was a successful evening devoted to rec- ognizing the achievements of the athletes throughout the year. 1-Library Aides.

Future Bright For Young Group The debate team for this year consisted of one hard working and persistant indi- vidual, Jayne Parsons. Jayne participated in the Lincoln-Douglas style debates throughout the season. She qualified for finals and rounded out a successful year with a 6-3 record. A number of underclassmen took part in the individual events of oral interpreta- tion and extemporaneous speaking this year. Jayne qualified for finals once again, this time in extemp. Steph Lange and Lora Duxbury both competed in fin- als for humerous interp., with Lora plac- ing second. A promising future appears to be in store for this young, enthusiastic group. 1 Dedam Lora Duxbury, Steph Lange, Shawn Brandsrud, Linda Peterson 2-Jayne Parsons participated in Lincoln Douglas de- bate 3 Individual events.

All during the chilly football season and on into a sometimes dis- couraging basketball season the cheerleaders and fans rallied to keep the spirit running high and the crowd roaring at each and every game. The A-team boys basketball and football cheerleaders took their “Bulldog Pride” a step further by competing in the State Cheerleading contest in Huron. Accompanied by advisors, Karen Bossman and Lavonne Meyer, the girls gave a very successful performance. 1- Football and Boys Basketball Cheer- leaders.

Young Football Team Steadily Improves The Bulldog football team worked very hard this year led by their co-captains and only senior players, Tim Ferguson and Kevin Smidt. These two kept the team on their toes all through the long hard months of practice. Although they finished the season with a record of 0-8, it was a year of definite improvement. The number of yards gained more than doubles and twice as many points were scored as were the previous year. There were four juniors and nine sopho- mores who got in much playing time and gained valuable experience. Since the team is only losing two seniors, the stage is set for greater success in coming years. 38 5-Varsity football. Back row: Mgrs. Todd Spomer and Mike DeNeui, Jason Schroeder meier, Loren Roth.

The team rounded out a fine 11-10 season by placing second in the District 22 Tourney. Cindy Jorgen- sen and Sheila Weier were the Co-Captains this year as well as the team’s only seniors. Sheila was selected for All-Conference and the team’s Most Valuable Player. Lisa Olesen received the Hustler Award and Nan Chris- tensen, Most Improved Player. Although they are losing two key players, the team gained valuable experience and holds promise for future years. 1 After explaining new strategy.

Therefore, the underclassmen had the opportunity to get in a great deal of valuable playing time, and although the record was not in their favor, it was a definite improvement from last year. The boys agree that the experience gained this season will prove to be invaluable in the coming years.

Young Team Shows Promise For Future The boys basketball B-team jumped into the public eye this year by unveiling great potential for the future. A combination of height and speed contributed to an excel- lent final record. Many games found the crowd on the edge of their seats and several required overtime play. The valu- able experience gained by these athletes should result in what looks to be a very promising future. Tom Schreiber and Don Plahn oversaw the development of the young team. 1-Girls Track.

Track Teams Have Record Breaking Season When the snow begins to melt, and the mild? weather seems to set in, hardy athletes know it is time to get out in the cold and mud and run or practice field events. Spring is track season, and even though most of the meets were cold, the 1983 season was successful. The girls broke several school records, and went to the State Meet in four events, while the boys also sent a representative to State. Sue P. competed in both the 400m and 200m dashes and received third place in the 400m. Also attending were the girls 800m and Medley relays, and Tony C. in the Interme- diate Hurdles. Cross Country Shows Promise For the first time in a number of years. Cross Country made a come- back in Hurley. Five hard-working girls and their coach took time out from busy fall schedules to practice and attend various meets through- out the area. Although they were inexperienced, they ended up with a very successful season. Besides bringing back firstplace Conference honors, 3 persons qualified for the State Meet in Huron. With the valu- able experience attained this year, both the coach and team are ex- cited about the prospects of an even better season next year. 1-Cross Country.

Most familiar to the students is the Student Council made up of representatives from each high school class. This group is responsible for planning the Homecoming activities and supervising them. The School Board carefully considers the well being of the students before making decisions regarding them. The superintendent and principal play an important role in the lives of the students.

The boys comprised a large share of the football team and gained valuable skills to be used in future years. Cheerleading, band, chorus, and basketball occupied most of the sophomore girls’ time. However, studies were not forgotten! Everyone took Typing I as well as Biology. Other electives rounded out their busy schedules. All things consid ered, it was a fun year, but this group is looking forward to being Juniors!! 1- Celebrating their friendship.

The hectic high school routine was quite different from the usual schedule of grade school or junior high. They could now take classes of their choice and many participated in high school sports. By working hard, the fresh- men learned many new skills, their favorite being computer programming. Overall, the year was very prosperous and fun for everyone! 58 1 Freshman class officers: Mar cus Stacey, Jamie Boomgar den, Sue Petersen. 2- Taking his injury in stride.

Declam, basket ball, cheerleading were all enjoyed by the stu- dents. Studies also took up much of the eighth graders time. As an English assignment, the class rehearsed and performed “Why Teachers Go Nuts for the One Act Plays in March. After read- ing the book “The Outsiders , the entire class went to see the movie in Sioux Falls.

Al- though they were the youngest, they were by no means the quietest! The class soon discovered one disadvantage of lock- ers—they could be stacked! Many partici- pated in band, sports, declam, and cheer- leading, where they always made things in- teresting! Building a float for Homecoming proved to be both a lesson in cooperation and a lot of fun.

By taking part in several band concerts and participat- ing in instrumental contests they began mastering the art of performing. Music also could be fun, as they learned by working up their own swing choir routines to perform at high school concerts. Mrs. Bergjord and Miss Beers helped these musicians begin their musical development. 1-BBand Back row Hudley Coleman, Greg Johnson. Tim Koehler. Aaron Gerdes, Keith Nelson, Jeff Severson. Chad Ness.

Instead of competing as a group, each member can discover his own potentials and abilities, and is allowed to develop them. Many of the 7th and 8th graders were also members of the Varsity teams and were able to go to the all-day meets where they proved to be valuable assets. 1-Junior High Boys Track.

Basketball and band were two new activi- ties pursued by the fifth grade class. Much time and energy was spent practicing to improve lay-ups and difficult musical scales! The entire class tried their hand at acting this spring when they staged a class play com- plete with costumes and an audience. Moving upstairs to the old seventh grade room gave this group of sixth graders a taste of what Junior High would be like. Some members of the class even had the opportunity to learn how a computer works. 1 Some say art is fun. but it looks like Rick Heidelberger has some doubts! 2- 5th grade Back row: Billy News, Stephanie Petersen, Tammy Stacey, Jeff Severson, Jeremy Hansen, Kristin Aeschlimann Second row: Miss Tiede.

In addition to spelling and science the third graders spent much time and effort learning to write cursively. Both classes concentrated on memo- rizing and using the multiplica- tion and division tables. 1 Smiling happily, Beth Trenerry obvi- ously enjoys recess!! 2 Fourth Grade.

The kindergarten, first, and second graders had an interesting year discov- ering that learning can be fun. They learned basic fundamentals that will serve as the foundation for their fur- ther education at Hurley. Some of the highlights of the year included a visit to Gene Friman’s menagerie, and being the featured attraction at a well re ceived Old Fashioned School Days concert. On the last day of school, each child released a helium balloon with his name attached irf a contest to see whose balloon could travel far thest. 70 1- Jeff K. comes to school incognito in hopes that Miss Beers won’t recognize him. 2- Sure tennis shoes are comfortable, Lisa, but with a formal?!! 3- Can young Dt.

Through Changes Here at Hurley High: Memories were created, Issues were debated. Our futures unsure, How confusing things were. But friends were always there. To help us through the wear. Patience was learned. Frustrations endured. Examples were set. Standards were met. Trying to put “we” before “I”, And finding out why. Putting our best foot forward, And never looking backward. Learning we are unique. We are individuals and, If it is to be, it is up to me. — Deb Nelson 71 1 Frank — What more can we say?!! 2- After spending 3 hours doing dishes, Jayne is not amused at the prospect of having her picture taken 3- Trying to look tough (or sexy?), Sheila gives the camera “the eye” 4- Soup suppers are rough on Seniors. 5 Are we being invaded by funny-looking beings from outer space?
