They have unselfishly sacrificed many personal pleasures so that we were able to attend high school and to actively participate in the activities of our choice. We take pride in our parents and we wish to acknowledge our appreciation by dedicating our BUCCANEER to them. Listed below in alphabetical order are the names of the parents of the 1965 senior class. Albrecht, Mr. Mrs. Emil Aman, Mr. Mrs. Edward Bain, Mrs. Meta Bender, Mr. Mrs. Albert Feickert, Mr. Mrs. Alvin Geffre, Mr. Mrs. Irvin Geffre, Mr. Mrs. George Gehring, Mr. Mrs. Jacob Gehring, Mr. Mrs. Edward Grabowska, Mr. Mrs. Clarence Greeno, Mr. Mrs. Laton Hammrich, Mr. Mrs. Floyd 2 Heagley, Mr. Mrs. Charles Hilgemann, Mr. Mrs. Edwin Hoffman, Mr. Mrs. Ervin Kaaz, Mr. Mrs. Edwin Kolb, Mr. Mrs. Gottlieb Maier, Mr. Mrs. Oscar Maze, Mr. Mrs. Lawrence Neuharth, Mr. Mrs. Raymond Pade, Mr. Mrs. Dean Rail, Mr. Mrs. Edwin Rueb, Mr. Mrs. Walter Smolnisky, Mr. Mrs. Leo Sperle, Mr. Mrs. Gottlieb Zantow, Mr. Mrs. Clarence THEY RULE WITH CONFIDENCE Standing under the Christmas dec- orations are the members of the L.H.S. Student Council. Their two main activities are the planning of Homecoming and the Christ- mas Party. The week preceding Septem- ber 19th was an especially busy one for them. They arranged the week's activities starting with a bonfire, snake dance, and movie on Thursday night. Friday's activ- ities began with a Kangaroo court, and included a parade, football game, and dance. As the clock struck 12, the festivities concluded with the coronation of our king and queen. On December 24, they also sponsored the annual Christmas party which includ- ed the exchanging of gifts and a movie, which was a Christmas gift of the high school faculty. A new project of the Student Council this year was the Saving Stamps program. The members of the Council, together with Mr. Schemp were busy distributing stamps and collecting the money for the stamps from the graders. Student Council members standing from left to right are: freshmen, Leland Feickert, David Harris; seniors, Sharon Gehring, David Feickert, President Imo- gene Smolnisky; Vice-President Robert Kaul; Secretary and Treasurer Carol Hilgemann; juniors, Ronald Opp, Gwen Schock; sophomores, Jerry Sandmeier, and Dixie Kamm. The junior high mem- bers are John Zacher, Elmer Smolnisky, Cindy Greeno, and Pamela Zantow. The legislating branch of our school system is the Board of Education. They take care of the financial aspects of the school, as they also decide what equipment is needed for the students. This year's board has two new members. Members of the board are Oscar Schilling, Irvin Kulm, Oliver Turnwall, Dr. Schnaidt, Albert Berreth, president; and Frank Serfoss, clerk. Beginning his first year in the Leo la school system, Superinten- dent Clark Schemp teaches the senior American government class. Mr. Schemp has earned a composite major in social science and a MS degree in administration at NSC. In addition to the many responsibil- ities of Superintendent Schemp, not only is he the Student Council advisor, but he is also a good friend to the student body. This is Mr. Schemp's fourteenth year as a teacher. Mr. Michael Glover, the youngest member of the LHS faculty, is completing his second year at LHS. Two years ago Mr. Glover earned a major in math and general science at NSC. Classes being taught by Mr. Glover are chemistry, geometry, trig and solid, and Algebra I. Mr. Glover is also the sophomore class advisor, and he did direct the planning of the Sweetheart Ball sponsored by the sophomore class. FACULTY INSPIRES Mrs. Lillian KindeIspire, who has earned her major in English and speech and a MS degree in guid- ance at NSC, is the full-time Library Club advisor of LHS. She is also a certified South Dakota librarian. Teaching English IV, speech, and Typing II, Mrs. Kindelspire is more than just an instructor; she is a trustworthy and loyal friend to all who call upon her for counseling. After 29 years of teaching, Mrs. Kindelspire has become a part of every student who has ever entered any of her classes. FACULTY STRIVES TO INSPIRE EACH STUDENT TO GREATNESS Mr. James Erdahl, a teacher for six years, is the new principal at LHS this year. Earning a BS degree in business administration at NSC, Mr. Erdahl teaches book- keeping class. Along with serving as school counselor, Principal Erdahl is the senior class advisor. The seniors of 1965 keep Mr. Erdahl busy chaperoning their excursions to College Night, Senior Skip Day, their trip to Pierre, school parties, and many other school functions. Mr. Gordon Schanzenbach, beginning his fifth year in the teaching profession, instructs sophomores, juniors, and seniors, in English II, U.S. History, and Modern Problems respectively. Attending NSC a few years previ- ous to his teaching at LHS, Mr. Schanzenbach has earned his major in social science. The LHS paper staff is operated under the direction of Mr. Schanzenbach. 4 Receiving a composite major in social science at NSC, Mr. Jerome Swanson is one of the five LHS faculty members who has returned to teach in the school from which he graduated. Mr. Swanson, who is completing his fifth year in the teaching profession, is both year- book advisor and all-school play director. In addition to these extra duties Mr. Swanson teaches the 8th grade social studies, English I, and English III classes. A newcomer to LHS last fall, Mrs. Doris Hepperle earned her major in business at NSC. In this, her second year of teaching, we find Mrs. Hepperle instructing the Typing I, general business, busi- ness math, and shorthand classes. As the junior class advisor, Mrs. Hepperle is the Junior-Senior Prom and banquet advisor. FACULTY TEACHES As teacher and music director at LHS for this, his ninth year, Mr. Marvin Maule received his BA degree in music and German from Jamestown College. Mr. Maule, in addition to teaching general math, directs both the vocal and instrumental groups and soloists in the music department. He also gives private instrumental lessons, teaches a private voice class, directs Pep Band at local basket- ball contests, and enjoys the instructing of a 7th and 8th grade music class. FACULTY TEACHES EACH STUDENT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY Completing his fourth year as a Jr. and Sr. high instructor, Mr. Gary Hepperle earned his major in business administration at NSC. As 8th grade class advisor, Mr. Hepperle instructs the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th grade boys' P.E. classes. Other classes taught by Mr. Hepperle are the 7th and 8th grade science classes. Very vital to the LHS athletic department, Mr. Hepperle coaches the LHS Pirates Basketball team, assists in the coaching of the football team, and, together with Mr. Greeno trains the track teams. Completing his sixth year as a teacher and friend in the LHS sys- tem, Mr. Loren Gill earned his BS degree in animal husbandry at SDSU. As freshman class advisor, Mr. Gill also teaches biology, Agriculture I, and general science. FACULTY DIRECTS Teaching his first year in Leola, Mr. Laton Greeno is already a familiar instructor at LHS. He works with the boys in our athletic department as coach of the football, Bombers basketball, and track teams. In addition to teaching 7th, 8th, and high school girls' P.E. classes, Mr. Greeno also instructs the 7th and 8th grade math classes. Having earned a composite major in social science at NSC, Mr. Greeno is in his thirty-first year as a teacher, and is also the 7th grade class advisor. FACULTY DIRECTS THE THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS OF EACH STUDENT Mrs. Pyrl Goodrich, principal of the grade school, is completing her thirty-fifth year as a teacher. Receiving her BS degree in ele- mentary education from NSC, Mrs. Goodrich teaches 7th and 8th grade art, 7th and 8th grade English, and 7th grade social studies. In addition to these, her responsibil- ities, Mrs. Goodrich was selected as one of three teachers in South Dakota by the Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge. Her award was the Classroom Teacher's medal for her excellent job in teaching re- sponsible citizenship and better understanding of the American way of life. CUSTODIANS TOKENS SENIORS TREASURE As the past four years are reviewed, it is noted that the freshman class of 1961 had thirty-one members, and now, due to students moving to and away from Leola, only twenty-six seniors graduated on May 26, 1965. It is remarkable, too, that eight of these twenty-six seniors have attended twelve years of school in the Leola school system. A series of events were attended and partici- pated in by this senior class of 1965. They are as follows: Sept., 1961 - Initiation and the Homecoming Dance Sept., 1962 - Initiation and the Homecoming Dance (only this time we initi- ated). May, 1964 - Jr.-Sr. Prom (sponsored by the 1961 freshmen). Beginning in September, 1964, the seniors were to experience their most memorable year. Some of the highlighting events experienced by all were as follows: Nov., 1964 - ACT Tests; College Night Dec., 1964 - Last LHS Christmas Concert in which seniors would par- ticipate. Jan., 1965 - Senior Pictures Feb., 1965 - Trip to Pierre May, 1965 - Jr.-Sr. Prom (at which the seniors were guests of honor). The last week of high school proved to be the most eventful for the 1965 seniors. Baccalaureate took place on May 23rd and was followed by the annual Awards Night. Following their school picnic on May 26th, we found the seniors participating in their final high school event, commencement, at which time they were presented with their diplomas. As the graduated seniors left the high school that same evening, they realized that LHS had given them a start on the road to success, and now the rest was up to them. 7 SENIORS TOUR CAPITAL SITES Seniors pose on Capitol steps. On February 18, 1965, all of the seniors journeyed to Pierre to view their State Legis- lature in action. The twenty-six seniors, together with Mr. Schanzenbach and seven senior parents, left for Pierre at 6:30 a.m. They arrived in Pierre at 9:30 at which time they toured the State Capitol Building and Museum. All ate a noon buffet style lunch at the Holiday Inn Cafe. After the noon meal, the seniors viewed the House in action, and they also toured the site of the Oahe Dam, which is only a few miles from Pierre. Five o'clock found the seniors preparing to begin their 160-mile journey home, and by 5:30 p.m, all were on their way home after spending an enjoyable and educational day at the South Dakota State Capital. Class tours Oahe Dam. Boy, talk about tired feet! Class officers are JoAnn Rail, secretary-treasurer; Dianne Albrecht, president; and Mary Greeno, vice-president. The senior class advisor is Mr. Erdahl. SENIORS VIEW PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS We, the Senior Class of 1965, would like to express our appreciation for these past four years. During this time, we have learned many things both in scholastic and extracurricular activities. Now we must strive to use what we have gained. Upon leaving LHS and our classmates, we again would like to say thank you for these rewarding years.

THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB ENCHANTS The first students to school each morning are the LHS band mem- bers. Any late straggler must remain after school to assist Mr. Maule in the music department. The band participated in a Christmas Concert, Spring Concert, and Region II Contest. The band also marched in the Gypsy Day parade at Aberdeen and Leola's Homecoming Day parade. The group completed the year by playing for Memorial Day Services. The mixed chorus is the largest entertaining group at LHS. This group performed along with the band throughout the year. Fifty mem- bers make up the chorus, plus Wanda Fischer, the accompanist. Nine band members represent the band as soloists: while three chorus members contribute their talents in singing solos. The soloists sing and play at the various concerts to complement the larger groups. Each year the music department sponsors a magazine drive to raise funds for new instruments. This year Mr. Maule purchased a new baritone saxophone and bass horn. Linder Mr. Maule's fine direction, the LHS music department presents refined entertainment, while its members develope their musical skills. 19 Back row from left to right: Douglas Opp, Susan Turnwall, Allen Guthmiller, Warren Bender, Sheilah Smolnisky, Dorothy Neuharth, Kenneth Hoffman, Carol Hilgemann.

BUCS ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE A young Pirate football squad began the season against the Ipswich Tigers and were downed by one touchdown. The Pirates, ham- pered by an injury in the first game, then traveled to Do land and were shut-out 14-0. The Pirate gridiron suffered defeats in the next four games, being disabled by further injuries and the loss of John McQuarie, who moved to Clear Lake.

The season's won and lost record is not an accurate account of what was accomplished by the Pirates, as many of the games were lost by narrow margins. This year the basketball squad gained much val- uable experience. There weren't any lettermen lost this year. With this season's experience, the prospects for next year look brighter. The Pirates ended the season on a brighter note than previous games proved to be. The last game of the regular season the Pirate Five defeated Hoven. The Pirates then went to the District V Tournament and won two out of three games, defeating Cresbard in the first game and Ipswich in a thrilling triple overtime game to take third place in the tournament. Leo la will enter a new conference in the fall of '65. Conference members at this time include Ipswich, Eureka, Groton, Northville and Doland.

BUCS CLIMB TO SUCCESS B SQUAD The B squad, which plays the preliminary game, gained a great deal of experience, although they did not come up with a magnificent record. Coached by Mr. Laton Greeno, the B squad under- grads are receiving further training in the skills of basketball and physical education. They are de- veloping a sportsmanlike attitude toward the game. Mr. Hepperle has hopeful thoughts for the B squad.

Thirty-seven turned out for the road-runners club with three return- ing lettermen. They include Lee Bain, Ron Kaaz and Duane Fauth. Although many lettermen graduated last year, head track coach Laton Greeno thinks highly of his squad. The track team spent much time before the first track meet building up their skill and stamina. Much of this was done through calisthenics, weight lifting, and a lot of work on the road. The track meets in April and May are the building blocks for the regional meets in which the athletes may qualify for the state track meet. 35 A Team Cheerleaders standing are Mary Greeno, Paulette Fischer, and Dianne AIbrecht.

Library members type cards for grade library books. Graders, aided by high school librarians, find the library interesting. 38 DO VARIOUS LIBRARY DUTIES Mending books, boxing magazines, and decorating the bulletin board are duties of some Library Club members. The Library Club has spent the larger part of the past year working on the grade library. They have ordered many new books for the grade library, then lettered, cataloged, and proc- essed them. They have also been working on the high school library, trying to keep it ready for use. The members of the club are serving as librarians, typists, and book menders. They have also kept the library bulletin board decorated to remind the students to use the library. The club activity, however, is not all work. In October the club went to Aberdeen to tour the Alexander M itche 11 and Northern State College Libraries. That afternoon they went to the movie Fall of the Roman Empire.

JUST ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY was pre- sented by the LHS players in February, 1965. Laura and Ronald Beaumont had been married for many years and had three daughters. There were a great many arguments in the Beaumont household, and Laura decided to go into business of her own so that she could purchase a fur coat which Ronald wouldn't even consider paying for. Laura had set herself up as an expert on domes- tic relations, but when her clients followed her advice, they found themselves in the most intol- erable situations. Because of Laura's inter- ference, her husband lost his job and Laura lost her clients. The parts were all excellent, the comedy was the heartwarming type enjoyed by all audiences. Ronald, I'm ashamed of you! Dames are too much! Presented in place of the annual three-act spring play were two short one-act plays. The first play presented was EVERYMAN, an old English morality play, written by Dr. Ben John- son. The second play, THE VALIANT, held the attention of all present as a man to be hanged for murder refused to reveal his identity in order to protect his family.

SEVENTEENTH SUMMER, the 1964 fall play was based on the book by Maureen Daly. Mr. and Mrs. Morrow were faced with the experience of raising four daughters, one of whom was in a tender age. Angie, a charming, sensitive girl of seventeen was on the threshold of growing up. During her seventeenth summer, Angie falls in love with Jack, a tall good-looking boy of about eighteen. The relationship wanes, however; only to be doubly revived again at the end of the play. SEVENTEENTH SUMMER was an amusing, as well as a moving play enjoyed by young and old alike.

DAUGHTER OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION Barbara Maier was chosen DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) candidate to repre- sent Leola High School in the County DAR Contest. The DAR candidates are chosen for qual- ities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. 1964 LHS GIRL STATER Imogene Smolnisky was selected as the Leola High School 1964 Girl Stater representative. Imogene spent a week of study- ing and taking part in govern- mental activities on the Dakota Wesleyan College campus in the second week of June, 1964. 44 SENIORS RECEIVE HONORS 1964 LHS BOY STATER Phillip Cowherd was selected as the Leola High School 1964 Boy Stater representative. Phillip spent a week of studying and taking part in governmental activities on the Northern State College campus in the first week of June, 1964. We regretted that Phillip, due to his having moved from Leola last summer, is no longer with us. WASN’T THE SWEETHEART BALL FUN! SWEETHEART ROYALTY POSES One of the highlighting events of this school year was the Sweetheart Ball sponsored by the sophomore class. The chosen candidates were: Patty Holmes, Priscilla Kautz, Brenda Maier, and Queen Ruth Neu- harth, King Ronald Kaaz, Jeff Kohlhoff, Bob Kaul, and Jerry Sandmeier. Me, spike the punch? We could have danced and danced. Guests enjoy the party. NEW FRIENDS, NEW THOUGHTS Juniors in American History class are taught to appreciate the sacrifices of their forefathers. NEW THINKING, AN!

NEW EXPERIENCES, NEW INTERESTS ATTENDING CLASSES Priscilla and Paulette are busy as office girls. Students in chemistry class mix solutions of water and sulfuric acid. Mixed chorus members practice for spring contest. 47 TEACHERS INSTRUCT, STUDENTS LEARN Since the new grade building has been com- pleted, many new facilities have been added. The new and better sand tables, aquariums, micro- scopes, and a bigger and better library are some of them. Mrs. Kindelspire and the members of the Li- brary Club have been working in the grade library to turn several shelves of unorganized books into a suitable arrangement. She has directed the club in mending, lettering, and categorizing the books. In this way the library is well organized, and the grade students will benefit from a usable library. The graders also participate in many extra- curricular activities. The first and second graders are experiencing their first attempts at music in the rhythm band, while the third and fourth graders are developing their musical ability by learning to play flutophones. The boys in the fifth and sixth are keeping physically fit via P.E. class. There are 142 students enrolled in LGS. There are 77 girls and 65 boys. Allen Wetzel trans- ferred to a school in Germany, but Dan Schumach and Mike Stickel joined school here. The kindergarten is being taught by Mrs. Lois Merkel. Kindergarten started on January 11, 1965. They convene only in the afternoon, and this prepares them for their forthcoming full school year. There are 23 pupils in the kindergarten; 10 girls and 13 boys.

S. political campaign was both sur- prising and yet predictable. Ari- zona Sen. Barry Goldwater, who had bided his time since he failed to poll any appreciable strength at the 1960 Republican Convention which was won by Richard Nixon, announced his candidacy on Jan. 3, and said he would attract the GOP conservative vote which was lacking in Nixon's narrow loss to John F. Kennedy. Goldwater's primary campaign was built up through steady grass- roots cultivation of party workers, particularly in the Midwest and South. When he won the California GOP primary June 3, his nomination in San Francisco in July was virtually assured, though liberal members of the party united at the last two weeks behind the candidacy of Gov. William Scranton of Pennsylvania. Goldwater won impressively, and with his running mate William E. Miller of New York, set out on the campaign. President Lyndon B. Johnson, riding a wave of great popularity as the successor to the martyred President John F. Kennedy, easily controlled the Democratic Convention in Atlantic City, and picked Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota as his running mate on Aug. 26. The Johnson-Humphrey ticket, already highly favored by all major public opinion polls, campaigned on a platform of civil rights, nuclear responsibility, and public works programs leading to The Great Society. Goldwater and Miller were unable to escape the brand of being trigger-happy, though they campaigned for states rights, reduction of federal spending and big Government, a firmer U. S. posture against Communism, and a pledge to end alleged corruption in Washington D. C. The results: 70, 621, 479 votes cast with Johnson-Humphrey receiving 43, 126, 218, or6l per- cent, and Goldwate r - Mill e r receiving 27, 174, 898 votes. Goldwater-Miller carried only six of the 50 states--Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina--giving Johnson-Humphrey an Electoral College majority of 486 to 52. The landslide also carried in a highly Democratic Congress, 290 seats to 145 Republicans, a gain of 35 seats for the majority party. Copyrighted by R. WALLACE PISCHEL Yearbooks Box 36 Marceline. Missouri February, 1965 THE VIETNAM STORY After $3.3 billion dollars in U. S. aid in three years, with 262 Americans dead, 1,196 wounded, and 17 missing, the South Vietnam nation continued to lose ground to the Communist Viet Cong, leading to increased American speculation on the possibility of pulling out of that Southeast Asian country. Ngo Dinh Can, youngest brother of the late President Ngo Dinh Diem, was executed May 8 for crimes against the government, symbolizing the political chaos in the country. On June 23, Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge quits his job and is replaced by Gen. Maxwell Taylor. On Aug. 2, the war escalated noticeably when three North Vietnamese PT boats fired tor- pedoes at U. S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin, but missed. On Aug. 5, President Johnson orders retaliatory raids by U. S. aircraft against PT boat bases and oil storage depots in North Vietnam. On Nov. 1, Viet Cong mortars destroyed 27 U. S. aircraft at a supposedly secret air base. In December, a plastic bomb destroys a U. S. military barracks-hotel in Saigon. Renewed Buddhist demonstrations threaten to dilute U, S. military help in the fight against the Viet Cong. HIT-RUN TACTICS and a steady boring in by Viet Cong guerrillas, coupled with civil strife and shaky Saigon governments, led to a steady deteriora tion of the war in South Viet Nam. Here, the Reds destroyed or damaged 27 U. S. planes in a mortar attack on a supposedly secret Viet air base. U. P. L Service NATURAL DISASTERS U. P. L Service Earthquake and Floods--The year brought its share of tragedy, not all of man's doing. On March 28, the greatest earth- quake ever recorded on this continent rattled through Alaska, Oregon, and California. Anchorage was particu- larly hard hit. Fishing fleets, indus- try, rails and thousands of private homes were ruined. The death toll was 130 in tremors and tidal waves which followed south as far as the California coast and across the Pa- cific to Hawaii. California was again hit late in the year with massive flooding in early December following a24. 67 inch rain- fall in five days. Some 7,000 were homeless and 40 dead in Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Ida- ho, and Nevada in the worst such disaster since December, 1955, when 7 4 died. RUSSIA As usual. Communism continued to supply much of the free world's worries and top news stories. Much of it happened in a busy October week. First, on Oct. 12, the Russians orbited a three-man space crew, and Premier Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev radioed to them in space that he would greet them when they arrived back to Moscow. The space voyagers made it, but Khrushchev did not, as he was deposed in a bloodless coup Oct. 15 by Leonid Brezhnev, 57, as first secretary of the Communist party and Aleksei Kosygin, 60, as the new premier. Several reasons were put forward by western observers for the change in the Kremlin, notably a need for better relations with Red China, agricultural failures in Russia, growing independ- ence of the satellite nations, failure to force the west out of Berlin, the retreat in the Cuban crisis, greater desire for consumer goods by Russiancitizens, and the cult of the personality which had been a catch-phrase in the downgrading of Joseph Stalin following his death. Khrushchev, reportedly very bitter, was pensioned off in a rural home 12 miles outside Moscow. U. P. L Service SOVIET PREMIER KHRUSHCHEV vowed on his 70th birthday he would Then, on Oct. 16, Red China exploded its first atomic bomb, becoming the world's fifth nuclear power, along with the United States, Great Britain, Russia, and France. The Chinese ice was the product of 1800 scientists at work for 14 years at a cost of $200, 000, 000. The bomb was rated at 20 kilotons, or roughly the size of the Hiroshima blast, and was fired from a tower in Western Sinkiang province north of the Himalayas. President Johnson deplored the Chinese development as a waste of that nation's resources, but said it represented no threat to the free world from a military standpoint for the immediate future. THIS MUSHROOM CLOUD, the result of Red China’s explosion of her first atom bomb, made Peking a member of the exclusive “nuclear club, strengthened her voice in world affairs. U. P. L Service not retire but he was tossed out of office unceremoniously and replaced by two “pals,” Leonid Brezhnev, here bestowing Hero Medal upon Mr. K, as the Communist party's chief, and Aleksei Kosygin as the new premier. SPACE Russia and the United States continued to battle peacefully for leadership in outer space. The United States scored a big victory Aug. 2 when Ranger VII blasted off from Cape Kennedy on the 243, 000-mile journey to the moon. The rocket took 68 1 2 hours to cover the distance, and as it hurtled toward the moon's surface it sent back 4, 316 photographs of the crater-pocked surface. It was considered the greatest breakthrough in lunar astronomy since the invention of the telescope 300 years ago. Then Oct. 12, it was the Communists' turn. The U. S. S. R. orbited a three-man space craft, named Sunrise. Aboard were Col. Vladimir M. Komarov, 37, of the Russian Air Force; Konstantin Petrovich Feoktistov, 38, an engineer-scientist; and Dr. Boris B. Egrov, 27, a research physician. The Russian shot achieved three firsts with a 16-orbit, 24-hour flight: it was the first orbiting with trained scientists instead of pilots, the space men wore no suits but worked in a pressurized cabin, and the ship made a soft landing on earth through the use of retro-rockets. There was some speculation, however, that the flight was intended for more than 24 hours. U. P. I. Service ENTERTAINMENT The entertainment was easily dominated by a mop-haired quartet from Great Britain which compiled an extraordinary global musical and financial success. Performing under the name The Beatles, they made two trips to the United States of America, also toured Europe and Australia. After the second U. S. tour, they returned home richer by $1,000,000. The 1963 sales of the Beatles came to $18,000,000 in records, with some $450,000 of that total profit to the four singers. In addition, personal appearances and sales of sheet music addedanother $500,000 to their bank accounts. By far the biggest side of their income resulted from fringe sales, of sweatshirts, dolls, caps, and especially wigs. Members of the Beatles are John Lennon, 23, Paul McCartney, 21, George Harrison, 22, and drummer Ringo Starr, 23. Hollywood's Academy awards went to Tom Jones for best movie; Sidney Poitier, first Negro to win it, for best actor, in Lilies of the Field ; and Patricia Neal, for best actress, in Hud. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, the land of fads came up with a beaut—Beatlemania —as four mop-haired English lads invaded ’ the United States with their version of rock 'n' roll, a beat which converted the nation's teen agers into riotous mobs of screaming, hysterical, frenzied, fall-down-fainting fans. U. P. L Service SPORTS The 18th Olympiad was held in Tokyo, and narrowed down to a 0. S. duel with the Russians for medal supremacy.

Se rvice CHURCHILL- AN EPIC Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints in the sands of time. ----Longfellow A footprint in history books of the future made its final impression and entered the realm of a free society's heritage with the death January 23, 1965 of Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, in London. Most thoughtful historians agreed that Sir Winston, who was 90 at his death, will rank with the all-time giants of history--the Alexanders, the Caesars, the Charlemagnes--though it re- mains for observers of the future rather than contemporaries to make the ultimate assessment. Friend and foe alike--and he had many of both—admit that Churchill was easily the towering figure of the 20th Century, and perhaps England's greatest leader. Sir Winston had several careers, as journalist, soldier, artist, and historian as well as political leader, and he faced defeat on numerous occasions, only to gain the inevitable triumph. Born of a distinguished British family--his father was Lord Randolph Churchill, a descendant of the First Duke of Marlborough, and his mother was Jeanette Jerome, an American--he was later to unite the two greatest English-speaking nations of the globe in a heroic struggle against tyranny. Churchill, a poor student at Harrow, turned to the Army, and entered Sandhurst, the royal military college, in 1893, where he was graduated eighth in a class of 150. He was in Cuba during the Spanish-American War, reporting the action for a London news- paper, and in 1896, his dispatches from India attracted wide attention. Transferred to South Africa, he was captured and then escaped from the Boers, but was disliked by his superiors. In 1899, he resigned his commission and entered politics, running as a Conse rvative in a by- election at Oldham which he won. His rising career was in part financed by a successful tour as a lecturer in England and the United States. Churchill's independence led toa split with the Conservatives, and he became a Liberal, and was named president of the Board of Trade in 1908--the same year he married Clementine Hozier. Their sturdy marriage was a cheer for his countrymen in the rocky years which were to come. They had four children--one son and three daughters. In 1910, he became home secretary, though rising social unrest forced on him policies which cost him popularity among much of his electorate. The approach of World War I found Churchill among the few Britons prepared for the con- flict. His reorganization of the Navy was impressive, but his association with the ill-fated Gallipoli campaign in the Dardanelles cost him his job and he was forced to resign. In 1917, however, he became minister of munitions, on appointment from Lloyd George, and in 1919 he was named secretary of war, charged with demobilization. When Lloyd George was swept out of office, Churchill was jobless. After two election defeats, he returned to the Con- servative party. Stanley Baldwin became premier in 1924, and along with him, Churchill had a new post-- chancellor of the exchequer. He served five years. From 1929 to 1939, Churchill was in the political doldrums, and confided to friends, I Am Finished. But Adolf Hitler changed all that, and dramatically placed Sir Winston in power. After the futility of Premier Neville Chamberlain's appeasement at Munich became evident, Churchill was made prime minister May 10, 1940--the day the German blitzkrieg began. The Low Countries--Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg—fell swiftly and soon France was occupied as well. Now only the 22-mile English Channel and the overwhelming power of Churchill's oratory protected the British Isles. On May 13, he told the House of Commons I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat, and this phrase became a rallying cry for the Allies. After the evacuation of Dunkirk, Churchill bared the probability of invasion but said, We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. . . whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing-grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender. Let us, therefore, brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will say this was their finest hour. Blocked in part by the task of invasion and by Churchill's mobilization of the English nation, Hitler attacked Russia instead. Churchill on June 22, 1941, refused to retract his long-stand- ing opposition to communism, but said that the Russians would receive British help wherever possible. Then, the Dec. 7, 1941 attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor brought in the United States and tipped the scales of battle in favor of the Allies, in Churchill's mind. He immediately sailed to Washington and negotiated with President Franklin D. Roosevelt the administration of the joint war command. Over the years of the war, he and Roosevelt disagreed frequently on strategy, but by May, 1944, he was proposing to witness the D-Day assaults from a cruiser. The Allied Supreme Commander, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, had to obtain a personal plea from the king to keep him out of the battle. As the war drew to a close, Churchill more than any other Allied leader recognized the political and military postwar threat of the U. S. S. R. and Communism. He urged swift advances by western armies to occupy as much of Europe as possible, but through agreements made at Yalta and Potsdam, the Russians were permitted to penetrate deeply into Germany. In June, 1945, the free world was stunned by results of a British election. A Labour gove rn- ment was voted in and Churchill, the war hero, was out. Stripped of power, he nevertheless was a force in government, again through his weapon of words. At Fulton, Mo., March 5, 1946, he delivered the famous ’’Iron Curtain speech in which he described the magnitude of the Communist menace, and urged Great Britain and the United States to join in combatting it. He also urged European union. Finally, in October, 1951, Churchill led a successful campaign against the Laborites, and was returned to his familiar post as prime minister. In 1953, he received the Nobel Prize for literature, the Order of the Garter, and in 1955 was knighted by Queen Elizabeth. He gave way for a final time to Sir Anthony Eden as prime minister on April 6, 1955. In 1961, U. S. President John F. Kennedy spoke for all Americans in presenting to Churchill, in absentia, an honorary citizenship which had been authorized by the U. S. Congress. The Marquis de Lafayette of the Revolutionary War is the only other figure so honored. As death neared from a stroke in mid-January, 1965, a grateful free world knelt to offer prayers. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Michael Ramsey, said, Our hearts go out to a great man who is approaching immortality. After a funeral ceremony he himself outlined, Churchill was buried beside his parents in the churchyard of St. Martin's at Bladon, Oxford- shire, England. U. P.
