Starting out together as Freshmen on the Road to Edu- cation, we have come to a fork in that Road. We now have to decide whether to continue our education or start work- ing. But looking back over our high school days, we will see that it was well worth the effort, that we did gain a little knowledge and understanding, and that we did have fun together Highlighting our Freshmen year at LHS was, of course, initiation. Most of us participated In it willingly, and looked forward to our Sophomore year when we could inflict more of the same on new recruits As Freshmen and Sophomores, we participa- ted in music, sports, and school plays. Al- though we were just beginners, we learned everything well enough to become leaders in our Junior and Senior years. As a class, the only party we ever sponsored was the Junior-Senior Prom in the spring of 1962. The theme for the banquet was South Dakota. So, naturally, the main dish served was pheasant. The pheasant for the banquet was obtained during hunting trips, which the boys in the class went on with Mr. Kraft. In the fall of 1961, the boys shot over 90 pheasants and stored them in lockers until spring. The girls, incidentally, were in charge of cleaning the came back pheasants At the end of our Junior year, Charlotte Kehlhaff was chosen as Girl's Stater and Paul Holmes as Boy's Stater We started our Senior year with a great success; we beat Eureka in a football ganie‘urv, We llke her still, the stiller ,=hO0r th reopened in the fall. MARCELLA ZACHER to a torn- up high school building and a skel- etal struc- ture, which is now our new grade school and auditorium. Things were pretty confused for a while, with band practice in the Temple and assemblies in the Legion Hall. Initiation and the choosing of the best- dressed pirates were held in the Legion Hall, with the coronation of the Home- coming king and queen being held uptown. The Homecoming king and queen for 1962 were Faye Kindelspire and Harv Gisi. During the football season in which the win over Eureka was the only victory Harv Gisi made All- State on the honorable mention list. In November, we went to Aberdeen for college night and even if some of us decided not to go to college, we at least started thinking about our future. In February, our class and our advisor, Mr. Kraft, made a trip to Pierre to see the legislature in action. We were met on the capitol steps by Rep. Calvin Hilgemann, and he introduced us to the other Representatives while they were in session. Also during our Senior year, Marcella Zacher was chosen as D.A.R. candidate and Carmel Turnwall won the Eetty Crocker Homemaker Award. We have completed four years of high school together and as the song goes, the future will find us gone our separate ways. But we can always look in this Buc- caneer and remember and enjoy the many things we did toge- ther in high school.

During t'ne week of Homecoming, the sophomores eagerly initiated the freshmen. The tra- ditional kangaroo court, held Friday morning, officially made the freshmen part of the Pirate clan. The royalty float, decorated by the student council, headed the parade of Pirates through the streets of Leola haulting on Main Street where the coro- nation took place. LHS students and alumni completed the 1962 Homecoming, by dancing the night away at the Leola Legion Hall. 20 Donald Kallas Paul Holmes Best Dressed Pirates JcAnn Hilsendeger,Larry Cowherd,Stuart Neuharth, Barbara Sperle, Leon Bender, Rhondi Heibel, Carol Chellew, Sigurd Zvejnieks.

Library Club Workers All-School Play Cast to Initiate New Stage This is LHS new auditorium where drama students presented the first all school play. At publication date of the annual, no play cast had been selected for the only school play. Are Teachers Human?, presented in April. Students and director waited for the installation of the stage curtains, which were presented to the school by the Leola Legion and the Legion Auxiliary, before actual practices began. The drama program was greatly curtailed by the building program. The club did not organize or put on a play for the grade school. With new facilities, plenty of seating, and exceptional acoustics, patrons should find a much more pleas- urable night at the LHS theater. 22 Library Club Stimulates Reading To build a better library by stimu- lating pupil interest in reading and by participating in library activi- ties is the goal of the Library Club, In addition, the club fosters the Reading Club in the elementary grades and works to further the development of adequate library service, Learn more today; be a better citizen to- morrow is the slogan of the club. The Library Club is a member of the state organization, Student Librarians of South Dakota. These people are responsible for taking grade book reports.

The Leole Pirates and Groton Tigers were both unable to score in the first conference game. The result was a score- less tie. The Aberdeen Jrs. eventually proved to be too tough for the young Pirates. With the Pirates on the Junior one yard line, the game ended 26-25 . The Doland game proved to be as exciting as the previous week's battle. A Leola fumble in the dying seconds set up a Doland score that gave them a 13-7 victory. Leola's homecrming game saw the Eritton Fraves crush the Pirates 19-0. In the last game of the sea- son, the Aberdeen Soph. also kept the Pirates scoreless, as they won 20-0.

Like everyone else, the basket- ball squad had to put up with the incon- veniences that were brought on by the construction work. The season started with the squad do- ing exercises in the locker room. When the weather permitted, they practiced handling the ball on the court behind the school building. The squad did more traveling than us- ual this year. For approximately four, weeks they practiced two nights a week in the National Guard Armory in Aberdeen. Charlie (guard) Lyle (forward) Larry (forward) 28 Stan (guard) Harv (guard) Les (guard) Squad Leaders This meant that they were on the road four times a week for practice and games. The team gave a sigh of relief when they heard they could practice in the new gym. Even though the gym was unfin- ished, it was better to practice in that than to drive to Aberdeen for practice Finally on January 29 the Pirates made their first exhibition in the new gym. They beat Cresbard I4.I-38 before a capacity crowd. The Pirates hope to come out with a better record next year.

Resume of 1963 Musical Activities Because of no practice facilities at the school due to con- struction work, the band members practiced at the Masonic Temple for almost five months. Also, because of construction work, the Christmas Concert was held at the Legion Hall. Participating in the Christmas Concert were the band,mixed chorus,and two soloists. The first band clinic of the year took place in December at Northern State Teachers College. Five LHS musicians attended. At this clinic,conducted by guest conductor Dr. Utgaard,the students sight-read and played new music. Traveling to Northville-Northwestern February seventh were nineteen students who attended the second band clinic. Six area schools participated in this clinic. Leola won an assortment of Latin-American percuss ion instruments• The mixed ohorus, sextet, full band, and numerous soloists participated in the annual music contest held at Aberdeen on April fifth and sixth. LHS scheduled their Spring Music Concert in the latter part of April using the new gymnasium and filling it to near capacity. Vocal soloists entertained at Commencement, Baccaulaureate, and P.T.A. Instrumental soloists also entertained at P.T.A. meetings. The girls sextet sang at Better Leola Club on Ladies1 Night and at P.T.A. The German Band, specializing In old time music, entertained at Better Leole Club Ladies' Night on February twenty-sixth and at Award Night on May twenty -seventh.
