Under his direction our music department has reached a new high. In his four years here, his guidance and diligent work have given his students a greater appreciation of music. He has turned aside from music from time to time in order to teach us ways co raise and improve our standards so that our lives might be fuller. His frank, but friendly attitude has helped many to perform better. With this yearbook come our sincere thanks. 2 Annual £ta(fjf Prepare A Preitcnian L. to R. Row 1: Mrs. Seigle, Advisor; S.

The freshman and sopho- more Ag. classes studied livestock raising, welding and the usage of power tools. The Ag. IV class studied farm mechanics and motor mechanics. W.- ■ i t Wtitcrij aw4 (jctfernmeht The purpose of the Senior Problems class is to offer in compact, readily usable form in- formation and viewpoints that may help young people as they strive to make a healthy growth toward maturity in all their relationships. A government cannot rise higher than its source. In a democracy that source is the people them- selves. The future of democracy rests with the people. To the degree that people take an interest in government, make a study of it, and work at it, democracy will be perfected. To promote knowledge of and interest in American government is the purpose of the American Government class. The American History class is composed of Juniors in high school. In this subject we start with the colonizing of the New World and follow through the history of the United States up to the present administration, with emphasis on past mistakes. 24 Science afui Ij latkematicA Not pictured of the Math classes is the Freshman Algebra class, where the Fresh- men meet up with X in its Algebraic use. Here they learn to solve formulas, work with square and square roots of numbers and other Mathematical fundamentals. The Biology class is not pictured also. In this class they dissected all sorts of insects, fish, and amphibians. They also studied plants and classification of animal life. D. Pederson, A. Ryland, Mr. Madsen, J. Kryger, and L.

It is especially interesting to calculate our net profit (or loss) for the fiscal period and to decide which items are debits and which are credits. Notice the concentration] Keeping budgets, writing checks and filling out income tax forms are some of the ac- tivities which keep us busy during the school year in the General Business Class. Term papers and bulletin boards add variety. Never a dull moment! English 4 Grammar kept us busy the first semester and English literature in groups of two can often change from study groups to conver- sation groups.

Pep assemblies are among these affairs. This also holds true at athletic contests including football and basketball games where the band raises the spirits of the crowd. June proved to be the busy season for the band. The most important event was a trip to par- ticipate in the marching contest of the American Legion Convention, at Rapid City. GRADE BAND Row 3: B.

Only the faculty knew, but the secret was revealed Thursday evening, October 10, as Shari Stymiest was crowned queen of the 1957-58 Homecoming. Brian Crane was voted marshal but Chris Holm was crowned by proxy because of Brian's absence. Marshal Chris crowns Queen Shari. The Royal Recessional The declam float On the eve of Homecoming the cheer- leaders and the band led the students in a pep fest around the bonfire on the ball field. Afterwards, the snake dance worked its way into the business area. The participants were treated to a free late show. The parade had a large variety of floats, from which the Seniors placed first in origi- nality. The most beautiful float was the Music float, and the Declam float received first in the humorous division. Lake Preston lost their Homecoming game to Estelline. 33 Row 3: L to R, J. Wienk, C.

Clear Lake came out over the Divers. The next game was with Jasper who beat us by one point in a very close game. Estelline, Beadle, and Arlington also came out on top of the Divers in well played games. Our next contest was a de- cisive victory over Dell Rapids. The Divers final game was dropped to Garretson.
