SucceM, In believing that education is truly our passport to success,we are simply re- stating what Aristotle said when he commented that the difference between an ed- ucated and an ignorant man was as great as that between a live and a dead man. We are following the lead of Americans founders, who, in 1787, stated in one of their laws that, RelIgion, morality,and knowledge,being necessary to good govern- ment and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall for- ever be encouraged.” Through the years the truly happy man who has been able to meet new experi- ences successfully, to serve his fellow man,and to retain his moral and spiritual stability has been the man of knowledge, morality, and religion. His education, which has provided him with the needed knowledge to cope with the world about him and has taught him the rules and the creed to live by, has been his passport! to success-to happiness in his every-day life. We,too,seek,through education,our right to success. Symbolic of the academic education we desire to continue and have received in the past twelve years are the books, the balance,the globe,the slide rule.Each of them,as well as many other similar volumes and tools of learning, has added to our knowledge of man and the world about him and has helped to prepare us to handle each new experience successfully. In acquiring this basic understanding of the material world, we have also grown In our knowledge of and insight into spir- itual and moral values.We feel that we have gained the education we sought-facts and knowledge to base our Judgments on, and a resulting growth In social responsibi1ty,emo- tional maturity,and the ability and the will to live happy, satisfying lives of service to our God and our fellow man. As our future lives follow the direction in which our education has started us, we will fulfill our individual dream,achieve our goals, and reap the happiness and satis- faction that comes with such suc- cess. In the following pages, as we picture the school year we are com- pleting,we have tried to review the basic factors which,in contributing to our well-rounded education, have made it possible for us to attain our passports to success. 2 9hi Jlelp, and 9ni uAxztu n We IIuvhJz Owi leacJiesi and ty tiend As a small token of appreciation for his patient and un- derstanding help,we,the senior class,dedicate this I960 Buc- caneer to Marvin Maule, our teacher and friend. In the past four years he has worked hard with the music groups to Instill in them the appreciation and art of music. In the various classes we have had under him, he has taught us many Interesting and important facts. He has proven him- self a friend, always ready to guide and instruct. We thank you,Mr.Maule,for helping to make these past four years we have shared with you happy, unforgettable, and most educational. 3 Bernard Hi 1sendeger-B. S., NStC; M.S. In Education , NSTC.

We owe our ability to qualify for passports to our teachers,who, through their patient and thoughtful guidance In the past years,have not only given us an education from textbooks, but have also taught us honesty and IntegrIty,and have Instilled in us the will to learn.As we think back over our school years, we remember all the times we thought that our instructors were overloading us and trying to teach us more than we were capable of learning.Actua1ly,though,we always managed to meet all-of the challenges pre sented to us.These challenges were a look Into the future,giving us a glimpse of what will be expected of us in 'our lives in the world outside of Leola and LHS. Facing the world would be a much tougher trial if we did not know how to meet hardships and challenges that are bound to interfere with our wills and wishes in years ahead. The only one of the clan that started In our freshman year who will remain behind us is Pirate Pete, our non-descript friend, who has for the past four years served as our mascot,friend,and ever-present sports fan. We wish that we could take this little bird of happiness with us,but he must stay behind to keep the brains of the up-and-coming Pirates working.He must help them to win and lose with grace,study and play,and help with all of the school activities in which he has become inexpendable. Cur achievements have been many as we have tried to uphold the high stan- dards of our school. We feel that In achieving our goal--graduation, we are as- sured acceptance of our applications for passports to continued education and success.

Zic- PinxUeA Although rain rearranged the Homecoming Day schedule, it did not dampen Pirate en- thusiasm or enjoyment of the festivities. The parade was called off and the football game was postponed until the following Monday.The crowning of the Pirate King and Queen was held in the gym in the after- noon. In the evening,the students danced to the music of Bobfs Trio. Rumor has it that the gridiron squad enjoyed this dance more than any other team has in the past. Reason: postponed game. Result: no bruises and sprains. With the exception of the freshmen, in- itiation was enjoyed by everyone. The cos- tumes designed by the sophomores consisted of girls wearing bib overalls, work shoes, long-tailed shirts, and straw hats. Boys wore Bermuda shorts, women1s blouses, ny- lons, hats,makeup,and no shoes. The tradi- tional march through rain-drenched streets from the courthouse to the school was climaxed by kangaroo court which doled out punishments to the new recruits and made them full-fledged members of the clan.

Eighth graders can claim they are Span- ish Pirates,for they study Spanish and use it every day in their conversation. Civics and algebra have been new studies this year.From their ranks came the upper-grade best dressed Pirate in Billy Schanzenbach. A talented group, they have fourteen boys out for basketball and four members in the band. They also had three entrants in the local Snow Queen contest.

Participating in band and grade bas- ketball has been a source of delight for the seventh graders.Their favor- ite study has been Spanish, which they enjoy using In their conversation.Regular spell-downs and a touch of geometry in their arithmetic class has provided new interest in the subJects.Twelve mem- bers of the class have pen pals in foreign lands. 18 Mapping President EIsenhowerfs 1959 trip, studying about the Greeks and Romans,and do- ing potato printing have been some scholastic highlights for the sixth graders.South Dakota history Is a new subject for them this year.

Make fyi tit Ap ilixxituy+t fob Pailpj Ui Nineteen scared but happy young- sters eagerly began their first day of school as they enrolled in kinder- garten on January 11,I960.In previous years the kindergarten was in session for only the last six weeks.This year the youngsters, under the guidance of Mrs. Marian Schumacher, attend school each afternoon during the last semes- ter. The youngsters memorize nursery rhymes, make color charts,sing songs, and play games.Highest on the list of favorites are the stories that Mrs. Schumacher reads to her pupi 1s.Finger plays are also very popular. Kindergarten pupils did finger- plays and sang songs for the audience Kindergarten pupils learn numbers. at the operetta. Certificates which will promote them to first grade rank will be given to them on award night. Second graders hear Christmas stories. 22 Story hour is kindergarten favorite. Youngsters enjoy their milk as well as the gab session. Milk 9l Still a Pi vate tyav uie Under the supervision of Superintend- ent Hilsendeger, the milk program,in its second consecutive year,made milk avail- able to all grades as well as to high school students who eat their lunch in school.The first seven grades are served in the lunchroom of the grade building. Eighth graders get their milk in their room,while high school students are giv- en theirs in the gym at noon. This year approximately 3 500 pints of milk were distributed to 210 participating pupils. Graders eagerly recived their milk at recess time, and those desiring to, could also have milk at noon.High school students enjoyed their milk with their lunch at noon also. Basketball players drank theirs after practice sessions. Chocolate milk seems to have been the favorite for graders and for high school students alike.
