Sloyd Mam wrick MR. FLOYD HAMMRICH, For your sincere devotion to Leola Public School, we the Seniors of 1966, dedicate our annual to you, Mr. Floyd Hammrich, school custodian. It is a well known fact that our school plant is one of the cleanest in the state. It is the extra time and hard work of one man that we can attribute this to. We, as well as the entire student body, can be justly proud of the well kept school we attend. The cleanliness of our school has made it a pleasure for us to spend our last school days here. We thank you for all you've personally done for us, and we hope this token of our appreciation wi 11 compensate for some of the trying times we've given you. Sincerely yours, Seniors of 2 faculty Student Council representatives standing from left are: John Lapka, Marilyn Hof- fman, Lance Gill, Marjorie Opp, Lester Spitzer, Paulette Schock, Mary Spitzer, Gerald Kaul, Jerry Heupel, Carla Heyne, Gary Schanzenbach, and JoAnne Kin- delspire. Seated from left are: Mr. James Erdahl, advisor; Mary Guthmiller, sec- retary-treasurer; Jerry Sandmeier, vice- president; and Prissy Kautz, president. They Quide and Under the supervision of Mr. James Erdahl, the Student Council strives to im- prove student-school relationship. In the past year this group has been very effective in achieving its goals. Traditionally, this organization plans and carries through the Homecoming and Christmas party festivities. Also, among the many worthwhile projects intended to generate interest in school affairs, it supervised the Savings Stamp program and pro- moted Americanism month by participating in the nation-wide Operation ShowYour Colors program. The active group also acted as student guides at Leola Invitational Tournament and created a constitution and foundation for a youth recreation society which it encouraged and backed. The organization is made up of two representatives from each class in high school and junior high who represent their interest of each class and assist the of- ficers in promoting the year's activities. Cead School Board members from left are: Mr. Micheal Schaf- fner, Mr. Albert Berreth, Mr. Frank Serfoss, clerk; Mr. Oliver Turnwall, Dr. F. Otto Schnaidt, president; and Mr. Oscar Schilling. During this Year to Remember, 1965-1966, Leola High School functioned under the guidance and leadership of the School Board. Its dedicated members recognize the needs of a modern education and give their time and talents to this cause. Through their efforts, the status of our school is maintained; but more important, they strive to advance the educational opportun- ities at L. H. S. A special program of the board this year was the completion of the hot lunch program, which provides a nourishing meal for all. Another major issue was the approval of the school re-organization plan which will enlarge our school system and bring about better facilities for all. This policy-making branch has done a fine job. The students are indebted to you, whose foresight and planning makes ours such a fine school. 4 I I Grade Principal PYRL GOODRICH Northern State Bachelor of Science Grades 7 and 8 Zhey Zeach the young MONA SWANSON Northern State Bachelor of Science Grade 2 LOIS MERKEL Northern State State Certificate Kindergarten PHVL YOUNG General Beadle Northern State State Certificate Grade 1 MARIE HOEFT Northern State State Certificate Grade 4 SHARLENE SHANNON Northern State State Certificate Grade 5 5 Superintendent CLARK SCHEMP Northern State Bachelor of Science Master of Science Principal JAMES ERDAHL Northern State Bachelor of Science Master of Science DORIS HEPPERLE Northern State Bachelor of Science JCead Us Zoday ... to LILLIAN KINDELSPIRE University of South Dakota Bachelor of Science Northern State Master of Science 6 LATON GREENO Northern State Bachelor of Science MICHEAL GLOVER Northern State Bachelor of Science LOREN GILL South Dakota State Bachelor of Science Northern State Bachelor of Science He Readers Zomorrow MARVIN MAULE Jamestown College Bachelor of Arts JEROME SWANSON Northern State Bachelor of Science 7 A new addition to the administrative staff of Leola High School is Mrs. Adrian Geffre. Ruth serves as secretary for Super- intendent Sc hemp and Principal Erdahl. Along with being responsible for the cor- respondence duties in the adjoining offices, she plays an influential part in the school lunch program. She is liable for the col- lection of money for each meal, supervis- ing student help in the lunch room and helping to oversee the conduct of the stu- dents while they're eating. Mrs. Geffre and her pleasant manner have proven to be a big asset to the executive branch of our school. Melp Performs Many Duties First to come in the morning and last to leave at night; this describes Mr. Floyd Hammrich, head custodian, and Mr. John Bendewald, assistant custo- dian. Mr. Hammrich and Mr. Bende- wald remain after school each night to clean up the building and are the first to arrive in the morning to heat the building. Their work is doubled in the winter months, when they must clear the sidewalks, mop up the snowy tracks of some 350 students, and clean the gym after basketball games. With the addition of a school lunch program this year, Mrs. Ted Maule, Mrs. Sidney Swanson, Sr., and Mrs. Christ Jakober became a part of Leola's school staff. Mrs. Swanson, head cook; Mrs. Maule, second cook; and Mrs. Jakober, assistant, prepare tasty, nutritious, meals each day for the 350 students in Leola. 8 Seniors Study Motto: Anything Less Than Our Best Is Failure Flower: White Mum with Blue Center Government day, the legislative trip to Pierre, and graduation made a busy year for the senior class officers.

Ronald Opp, 1965 Boys' State delegate, and Mary Kay Guthmiller, 1965 Girls' State delegate, each spent a week of studying the basis of the United States government. Ron attended Boys' State on the campus of Northern State College in Aber- deen; while Mary Kay attended Girls' State at Dakota Wesleyan U- niversity in Mitchell. Wanda Fis- cher and Greg Gill were Girls' State and Boys' State alternates. .Honored Will Me Kemembered The members of the twelve-year club take a break to reminisce. Since 1953, when they started kindergarten, they have gone to school in Leola. 17 Memories Are Students enjoy tasty meals. Ron studies diligently. English III studies American literature. The class life of Leola's high school students produces many cherished memories. Years from now we shall recall these experiences which pro- vided not only our education but also friendship and guidance, giving us the qualities needed to meet life after graduation. For in the class- rooms, among classmates, we experience the les- sons of life and education. All are a part of our Year to Remember and another step into the life ahead. Though many of the days were filled with difficult tests, assignments and diligent studying, some incidents would take place that would stand out from the usual line of school routine. It might have been a water pistol, a spitball, a 18 Physics class tests wave links. The library is the center of knowledge. Made of 3:30 finds students hurrying to leave.

These set the scene for a theme on behavior or a trip to the of- fice. Regardless of what class, English, history, math, science, or business, we have participated in many activities and projects that create an understanding of cooperation, patience, and self-determination. Whatever it may have been, it helped us take a step forward. These pictures portray the excellent educational system of L.H.S., made possible by the patience shown to us from instructors.

S. is the mixed chorus. This group is comprised of forty-three mem- bers, twelve of which are seniors who will partake of their grand finale in the Spring Concert. Mr. Maule, music director, is kept busy directing a girls' chorus on Monday and Wednesday, a boys' chorus on Tuesday and Thursday, and a mixed chorus on Friday. A magazine drive began the year's activities. Band and chorus members put their best foot forward in an effort to sell as many magazines as possible. This foot got into many doors as the music department sales surpassed their goal. New sheet music, which is presently being used, was purchased with the proceeds. An exceedingly impressive performance was given at the Christmas and Spring concerts. The highlight of the year was participation in the Region II Music Contest. Strenuous practice was necessary to prove the chorus a success. Several members of the chorus were also chosen as soloists. These soloists brought another year of the music department to an end by their participation in the Commencement exercises.

Here, each of the fifty-five junior and senior high members of the band, under the direction of Mr. Maule, applies his skill in playing the in- strument of his choice. A band clinic was attended during the school year. This clinic was held at Northern State College on Novem- ber 20, 1965. Six seniors joined with representatives of other schools in playing music that was unfamiliar to them. There were other highlights throughout the band year. Among these were leading the annual Homecoming pa- rade, participating in the Gypsy Day parade held at Aberdeen, and the striving for an excellent rating at the Re- gion II Music Contest also at Aberdeen on April 1 and 2. , Each musician gave a demonstration of his capabilities at the Christmas concert. These were again repeated at the Spring concert, which brought the band activities to a climax. This also brought to an end a high school music career for ten of our seniors, who played their last concert at L. H. S.

Ceola Qridders Comeback Leola's football season was not what you would call a smashing success. It did, however, bring many new be- ginners into the realm of the pigskin sport. Our gridiron team started the season playing a tough Ellendale team. Since it was the first game for both teams, neither played exceptional football. The Pirates journeyed to Simmons Field in Aberdeen to meet Roncalli High. They tied the young Roncalli team, and things didn't look too bad for the Pirates. In the third game they faced the Groton Tigers on Homecoming night, and they also met defeat by Eureka and Ipswich. The Pirates were at the bottom of the conference list. It was time to make a come back, and indeed they did. In the last three games of the season, the Pirates came alive and nipped the Aberdeen juniors in a close ball game. With two games remaining, both of them conference games, the Leola eleven was still in the cellar. The Pirates seemed to find the key that unlocked the door to glory and trounced Northville and Doland on successive weekends. Thus ended the Pirates'football season, and surprisingly enough they attained the best record of recent years - three wins, four losses, and a tie.

Leola started its season with high hopes winning its first five games. The Pirates then suffered four consecutive setbacks including one to our arch-rival. Eureka. Coach Gary Hepperle's Bucs picked up two more wins before en- tering the Leola Invitational Tournament. In tournament action Leola marred their championship hopes losing to Ipswich in first round play. The Pirates, however, came back in the consolation game to defeat Groton. Picking up momentum a determined Leola team out scored four more opponents gaining a conference win in the surge. The Pirates then faced three highly rated teams and were defeated in all contests. Leola opened District V play against Faulkton edging them by one point. The Pirates went on to meet Hosmer in second round play and lost a thriller in overtime. The team faced Ipswich in consolation action and took home third place honors for L. H.S. Although the Pirates 14-9 record wasn't the best, it gave many of the young Bucs valuable experience.

Coach Laton Greeno's young Pirates play preliminary games to most of the A squad contests. The B team is comprised of ten freshmen and sophomores plus the second five of the A squad. Even though B squad games are not rated in the state, they do provide the boys with a glimpse of what is to come for many of them in future years. Ron gets two points.

Under the direction of Mr. Jerome Swanson, six seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore portrayed the roles of the various characters in this play packed with mirth, fast action, and ready wit. The plot centered on a situation in which a reliable friend tries finding a young professor a wife so the professor can accept an offer to be dean of the college. Three girls enter his life. Each one having some personal influence. The consequences were certainly unexpected and very humorous. The production of this farce, on December 2, 1965, certainly was a memorable asset in this Year to Remember. The audience response was a continuous roar of applause. They loved every minute of it.

The play takes place in a courtroom where a lady, Maxine Lowe, is on trial for the murder of her husband. Cass, played by Stanley Feiock, is the state's attorney and Gwen Schock, who will play the part of Jesselyn Mer- edith, will be his assistant in the case. Duane Fauth will bear the name of James Hathway and will be Maxine Lowe's de- fense attorney. Dennis Feickert, Debbie Geffre, Margie Gisi, Judy Brandner, Glenda Rueb, and Sheilah Smolnisky will all take the witness stand during the trial over which the judge, Roger Schaible, will preside. Dick Turnwall is one of two newspaper reporters covering the case and is very eager to learn the outcome. Are you ea- ger to learn the outcome? Did Maxine Lowe kill her husband? Why does Jes- selyn Meredith so suddenly change her mind about the defendant's guilt? All these questions and more will be answered in this play to be held in the first week of April.

Its fifty-nine members have combined their talents and efforts to organize a grade library and picture file and broaden the scope of the high school library. A workroom has helped the Library Club to accom- plish its goals. The organization spent much of the year working on the picture file for the grade school library. Club members worked long hours cutting and pasting pictures and arranging the results into a file. In addi- tion to the organization of the file, the club performed its usual duties of mending the old books and processing the new ones. Many new books were purchased with money received from the National Defense Education Act. 4 Pirate Chatter Volume S«cty-Fiv« Leola, South Etekota, December, 1965 Number Four THIRD ROW, left to right: Nancy Greeno, Jennette Bendewald, Priscilla Kautz, Marjorie Gisi, Eunice Jakober.

Palm trees, desert tents and camels, flying carpets, and an oasis set the scene for the Junior-Senior Prom. With “Arabian Nights as their theme, the juniors paid tribute to the seniors on May 6, 1965. The evening began at 6:30 p.m. with the banquet for the faculty, seniors, and juniors. Underclassmen, dressed as sul- tans and harem girls, acted as waiters and waitresses. Jeff Kohlhoff, junior class president, gave the welcoming address, followed by a farewell by the senior class president. Members of the junior class gave the senior class will and prophecy. The Towncriers , a singing group, entertained with a selection of songs depicting the Arabian theme. Following the banquet, the waitresses presented a short skit, “In the Queen's Harem. The grand march, led by King Leon Bender and Queen Susan Kolb, officially started the dancing. The remainder of the evening was spent dancing to the music of Art Hoi Ian and his orchestra, making this a night to remember for everyone present. , _ I Sh i V JF - m fl 4 ( f Faculty enjoys Prom.

S. celebrated Homecoming on September 24 with the freshman initiation, coronation, parade, football game, and homecoming dance in that order. The freshmen were made to walk the plank before they were accepted on board the Pirate Ship. Dressed in their outlandish costumes, they took the mocking of the upper- classmen. Kangeroo Court was held on Friday morning,... the freshmen were finally official members of L.H.S. Coronation was held on Thursday evening, preceded by a pep fest and the snake dance. Due to inclement weather, the bonfire had to be cancelled, but the student body burned with excitement. With the tension high, the 1964- 65 Homecoming Royalty, Queen Dianne Albrecht and King David Feickert, gave their farewell addresses. Following a speech by coach Laton Greeno, Joanne Kindelspire and Robert Kaul were crowned 1965-66 Homecoming Royalty. Other candidates were Paulette Fischer and Jenny Schu- mack for queen, and Ronald Opp and Dennis Durheim for king. The movie Glory, sponsored by the Student Coun- cil, closed out Thursday's agenda. Selection of the best-dressed Pirates and the freshman initiation were held Friday morning. That afternoon the L. H. S. band and the royalty float led the rest of the Pi- rate Clan in the Homecoming Parade. Friday night, prior to the dance, the Pirate eleven went down to defeat at the hands of the Groton Tigers. Though defeated, the school spirit was high. The student body and a number of alumni danced to the music of the Chevelles at the Homecoming Dance. This capped a week of festivities, a week we will all long remember. Pirate Clan gathers to congratulate royalty. 1965 Royalty says farewell. 49 of festive Memories Snake dance winds through Main.

Love Makes the World Go ’Round was the theme carried throughout the auditorium for the Sweetheart Ball, February 18, 1966. The theme depicted very appropriately the hard work and determination of the soph- omore hosts to create a fitting mood. Amidst red and white hearts, arrows, and cupids, members of Leola High and their dates danced , talked, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves as guests of the sophomore class. A colorful lunch topped off another memorable evening of the year 1965-66. To highlight the evening, Queen Mavis and King Ralph were crowned to reign over the Valentine's Day festivities. Other members of the roy- alty were: She'lah Smolnisky, Nancy Greeno, Kay Lapka, Jerry Kaul, Bob Opp, and Tony Kamm. Lovebirds are center of attraction. Sweet Js 51 Thirsty?

Traditionally, the freshmen of Leola High School sponsor the Halloween Party, The big night, October 29, was ideal for the occasion. The weather and air set a calm, cool, dark, spooky mood. With the frosh as hosts, members of the student body gathered in the midst of corn stalks, pumpkins, witches, and bats. Every- one's identity wasdisguised. The best-dressed were chosen on the basis of originality and appropriateness. Edith Hoffman and Sigurd Zvejnieks received the honors. We then bobbed for apples, had an orange pass, a limbo contest, and danced some more. The fes- tivities came to an end as the students munched on sandwiches and cookies and drank pop. As everyone present had a good time, this night can be added as a memoir during this Year to Remember. Edith Hoffman and Siguard Zvejnieks were dressed in the most appropriate costumes. Grandpa comes too. 52 This year will be a year that the younger pirates will remember without a doubt. In January, kindergarten began, which increased Pirate Pete's crew by twelve members. They soon joined in all the activities which the other graders are participating in. Among those included someday will be holiday parties, gym classes, rhythm band, individual solo practices, award reading, flutophones, and milk breaks. Their science classes will be enlightened with the aid of new microscopes and lab tables. The fifth grade planted different kinds of seeds and watched them grow, while the first grade built a sand table to help them determine the change in seasons in their science classes. Children in other states will also know what is going on here at L. H. S. because of the correspondence the fifth grade has been keeping with students in different parts of the United States. This year the grade library was completed with the help of reliable high school librarians. The library provides an abundance of research with its new filing cabinet. This year a picture file was begun. This helps the grade teachers a great deal with their teaching. The boys and girls in our grade system will greatly benefit from all the opportunities that are available. Mrs. Merkel instructs. Cooperation at work. beginning years Jre Kindergarten MRS.

Vie for Victory This was the first year that the Leola Grade School boys played intramural basketball. The eight individual teams met each Saturday for eight consecutive weeks. The fourth and fifth graders were divided into the Bombers, Gophers, Tigers, and the Badgers.� The sixth, seventh, and eighth graders had the names of the Lions, Beavers, Bears, and Braves. The Gophers and the Braves were the winners of the tournaments. Through these games the grade boys attained more practice which will prove worthwhile in their high school years. This program was sponsored by coach Gary Hepperle as an extra extracurricular activity. 59 Parting Ends Our“ earto Kent ember } ) 3 01' ■a o w , J S We . .. the Class of '66 have come to the end of a perfect year.
