Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1974 volume:

I cannot count the number of times I shall go through this annual — but it will be many. I study each face in every picture and see the joyous expressions. They help me remember the things I did and what a wild time I had. My memories of those unrelivable moments prove the year’s success. - Wanita Hoffman .. . therefore am Table of Contents Page 3 Academics Page 9 Co-Curricular Page 35 Special I vents Page 95 Student Body Page 67 Administration Page 73 Grades Page 89 Contributions Page 86 Index Page 88 Closing The gain of knowledge is the most important goal I have in school.

The junior high students were favored with home economics and an industrial arts class. Chorus was also added to some of their schedules to expand their knowledge of music. Offering more classes to the junior high kept them busier and helped prevent them from having too many study hails. Personal was offered to LHS seniors. This class, taught by Gary Hepperle, gave the students an under- standing of how to manage their finances better. Other classes offered in the business department were: book- keeping, business math, typing, shorthand, and office practice. Mathematics courses again included advanced math, geometry, and algebra I and II. Chemistry, physics, biology, and general science were offered as science courses. Art classes worked with sketching charcoal, water color, acrylics, and woodcarving throughout the year. Crafts classes made cnadles, batik, and macrame. History and government classes, taught by Mr. Bob Schumacher, learned how our country was founded and how the system works. Opposite page; Upper left: Rick Valentine works on a car engine in Shop IV.

Pirates Head State Poll X The blue and white machine accomplished their goal this year as they led the State Class B - 11 man football poll for the en- tire season. The squad was made up of 45 members. Under the direction of Coach Larry Gauer, and Assistant Coach Bob Schumacher, they went all the way for a 9-0 record. The Pirates came out strong against Ellendale, their first victim of the season. They were in charge the entire game. A week later the team had to put it all together to come from a 12 point deficit to beat the Britton Braves. Leola started the conference with a victory over their archrival Eureka. The Pirates gained momentum after defeating Northwestern in their Homecoming game. They went on to beat Ipswich by 50, and again topped Northwestern for the highlight of Homecoming. In the second Ipswich game, Big Blue again took charge, as the Junior Varsity saw much action. The champion Pirates finished the conference with a hard-fought battle with Eureka. They kept hitting hard, and won the game in the second half. The team wrapped up the perfect season on October 25, when they came from their second deficit of the year to beat the Aberdeen Juniors. 11 Pirates Awarded State Honors Left: Pirates on the All-Conference team are Richard Wolff, Quint Ehley, Craig Blumhardt, Richard Valentine, and Terry Zetterlund.

As the season began, the record stayed quite even. They got by Groton, and lost to McLaughlin. The next two games saw the Pirates defeat Roscoe and Mobridge. Leola then met a tough Northwestern team, losing by one point on a last second shot by the opposition. Bowdle also beat the Pirates by a small margin. In late December the team received second place honors in the Northern Conference Tournament. They beat Ipswich and again lost the Northwestern squad. January was a big peak for the Pirates. They didn't lose a single game in the entire month. Those falling to the Big Blue included llecla, Ipswich, Britton, Eureka, Cresbard, Ashley, and Selby. Herried also fell to the Pirates, before Leola lost to Frederick by one point. They came back to beat Bristol by over thirty points and then lost to the Aberdeen Juniors and Langford. The Pirates took the District Five Tournament in Aberdeen by beating Frederick, Hosmer, and Eureka. In the highly competative Region II Tourney, the blue squad defeated Faulkton by three points and Bowdle by two points.

In September, the Northern State PE majors sponsored a cheerleading clinic which was at- tended by the football cheerleaders. The cheerleader: raised funds to pay for their skirts and shoes by sponsoring candy sales after school and sock hops fol- lowing several games.

The play evolved around Lester Pelham, a noted mystery author, who acci- dentally swallowed a stolen diamond. The diamond had been carelessly mailed to him by George Fleming and his henchmen, Beck and Louie. Lester, his secretary, and her niece were then kidnapped by the group and taken to their hideout on an isolated island. On the island, Lester was introduced to George s supposedly dumb girlfriend Casa. Several attempts were made to recover the diamond until Lester finally realized that Casa had played two ends and that he had really swallowed a cheap diamond. Pemtina Gordly Smith arrived just in time to save the group, and George and his gang were finally caught. Lower left: Beck (Pam Smalley) carefully plans his next move as he and Louie (Kurtis Kolb) engage in a game of poker.

The great success was due to the combined hard work and effort of both the band and chorus. The musical was under the di- rection of Mr. Michael Guffey and Mr. Jim Oschner. The action took place during WW II. Deb Blumgardt portrayed an optimistic and naive girl (Nellie Forbush) from Little Rock, Arkansas. Nellie falls in love with a rich planter on a southern Pacific Island. Emile de Becque (Terry Zetterlund) asked Nellie to marry him. Even though she loved him, she refused because of the difference in their back- grounds. In the meantime a native of the Island, Bloody Mary (Patti Kulm), and Luther Billis (Toby Rath) kept the action going with their schemes and dealings. Bloody Mary's daughter, Liat (Lori Gill), falls in love with Lt. Joseph Cable (Gary Rueb). Bloody Mary wanted to have them married, but Lt. Cable didn’t see any future in it because of their different backgrounds. The musical was climaxed by a secret mission for the army made by Lt. Cable and Emile. Only when Lt. Cable is reported dead, and Emile missing, does Nellie realize what a fool she's been for not marrying Emile. Nellie stays on the Island hoping Emile will return. As she and the children are watching the troops leave from Emile’s terrace, Emile walks in, ending the musical.

After a short, but enthusiastic pep fest, the coronation program got underway. The Homecoming candidates were introduced followed by skits and musical numbers present- ed by the classes, FHA, and the music depart- ment. The climax of the evening was the crowning of Dave Taylor and JoAnn Meier as the new Homecoming King and Queen. A break from tradition was made by the dis- continuance of freshmen initiation on Friday. The gap was filled with shortened class periods and a short performance by the band. The parade was again led by the color guard and the spirited marching band of LHS.

Events that shaped the seniors memories were an undefeated football team, the A basketball squad going to the State B's, music concerts and contests, the musical ’’South Pacific”, and also, lectures, tests and term papers. Many of the classroom discussions were held over such controversial topics as the movie ”The Exorcist”, the Watergate tapes, and the AIM trials. Many of the seniors enjoyed the privilege of leaving school at 2:00 o'clock if they were in no classes 7th and 8th periods.

Plans began in December as Dwight Neuharth, presi- dent, set up various committees for decorating, food, and in- vitations . For the first time concessions were sold at both football and basketball games. Other money raising projects included a raffle, dances, selling Pirate cushions, and a bake sale. Dates were set, decorations ordered, and the months of planning soon became reality. Class rings were ordered and the juniors were given a choice of two companies to order from. Jostens were chosen and each individual ordered his choice of rings opposed to the class getting one type. Even though prices were higher due to the rise in the price of gold, most all class members ordered one. 56 Carroll Jahner Shirley Kallas Sandra Kapper Terrance Ketterling Leo Kindelsplre Patti Kulm Michael Lapka Wade Lechner Douglas Lewis Dwight Neuharth DuWayne Pudwill Dianne Rath Gary Rath Toby Rath Robin Rau Opposite page: Molly Greeno and Greg Brander il- lustrate the friendly atmosphere of L.H.S.

In order for the sophomores to sponsor the Sweetheart Ball, they had to raise funds. They accomplished this by selling peanuts and having dances at the Leola Legion Hall. They also sold T-shirts.
