The first liveliness for the 1977 seniors centered around the Homecoming events. Senior enthusiasm prevailed throughout the festivities and was rewarded with the big game's excite- ment followed by a dance uptown. Attending senior night in Aberdeen was a booster used to get the seniors thinking of their futures. This was followed by visits from various school representatives and recruiters from the armed forces who discussed the different occupations open to the graduating class. The traditional trip to Pierre on Government Day improved the class's comprehension of politics. Special attention given to the visitors by the State Senate was much appreciated. The Junior-Senior Prom was one of the most anticipated and cherished social happenings of 1977. The seniors were honored by the fact that the evening was dedicated to them. After twelve years of preparation they hoped to be ready for graduation and the giant step of independence. Special messages were given to the seniors at Baccalaureate and Commencement.

Trading classes for two weeks gave both the boys and girls the opportunity to learn many new things. What we are to be. .we are becom- ing was the motto choosen by the senior class. They also choose lime green and yellow as class colors to go with the yellow rose picked to symbolize their unity. May 20 was the end of the high school road for the graduating class of ”77 . Father Marvin McPhee gave the commencement address for the seniors. UPPER LEFT: Senior girls work on their own jewelry boxes during their two weeks in shop.

While traveling through Calif, they stopped in Oakland to see a football game between the Minn. Vikings and the Oakland Raiders. Starting as lineman for the Minn. Vikings was none other than Buck Schooley. Of course the Vikings won by a score of 42-2. While going to the locker room to talk with Buck, they ran into the asst, coach of the Raiders, Don Thorpe. He was rather depressed about losing the game by such a large span. After they left Oakland the next afternoon, they stopped by a grove of trees to get some fruit. Lo and behold, they found Earl Weisenburger.......(He was working as the head fruit picker.) In passing through Hollywood, they stopped to see the premiere of Land of the Lost starring Charlene Geffre as Chucks. In the theatre next door Terry Bonnet, Gab Kallas, Dan Yost, and Kent Weiszhaar were starring in Gerry West's new crea- tion, The Very Wild Wild West. In Hollywood they also found Gailen Hauck making JoLly Green Giant commercials. While driving through a small town the next day they noticed a building under con- struction. As they drove up, they noticed Tony Haux sitting by the roadside drawing up the blueprints. Helping with the elec- trical wiring was Eric Rath. Julie Potratz and Deb Geffre were painting a sign for the shop. It read B S Fashions, co-owned by Brenda Hoffman and Susan Bender. Stubby Ron Kappes had been hired as their accountant to juggle the books. When all the plans were completed, Janis Schaffner was to begin putting up the brick walls. While traveling through South Dakota, they decided to make a stop in their old home town of Leola. They stopped in the cafe for coffee and they saw Judy Schock, Ina Albrecht, and Bobbie Rath come in followed by their numerous children. As Julie Steiger served them, they discussed their children's educations, led by Principal Jeff Wolf and teacher Brenda Schumacher. Cindy and Jackie also found out that Larry Kallas, Gary Mack, and Don Guthmiller were running the largest cooperative farm organization in the state of South Dakota. On their next stop, at the Mayo Clinic, they found anesthesiologist Wayde Blum- hardt putting people to sleep..... and he didn't even have to use either! On the next floor they found Jerome Hoffman doing lab tests on Mardell Gisi to find out if she was really all there. In Texas, Cindy and Jackie watched a bas- ketball game between the Texas Redheads and Harlem Queens. Marcia Mack was the starting center for the Texas Redheads. After a very rough game, her own physical therapist, Joy Shafer, put her back together again. Providing the halftime entertainment for the game was Up With People starring Theresa Geffre. As they stopped in the southern states, they met up with Sheila Daniel, Kristie Schnaidt, and Susan Kulm, still trying to get through basics. They then decided to continue on to Wash- ington, D.C. When they arrived at the White House, they were admitted by the President's personal bodyguards, Jason Gill and Tom Kappes. They then met Cindy Jundt, personal secretary to the President's personal secretary, Tammy Weisser. They had finally reached their journey's end. They were at last ready to meet the President. They entered the Oval Office to find--their classmate—Presi- dent John Geffre. Homecoming Celebrated Mother Nature provided good weather for a successful Homecoming cele- bration. Various organizations and classes worked diligently on their own ideas for floats. Daily activities sponsored by the cheerleaders thr throughout the week were enjoyed by all. Acitivites included mask and hat-day, shoe and sock day, mis- match day. Blue and White day, and the week was finished with the tra- ditional Pirate Day. Homecoming Eve was launched with entertainment provided by the music department and skits put on by dif- ferent groups. A traditional parade followed by the football game and dance ended another Homecoming celebration. ABOVE: The Junior Class float took first place in the float division.

Red cupids and hearts hung from above. A white picket fence separated the dance floor from the tables. A DJ from KSDN provided the music. Punch and crackers were served. At 11:00 the coronation of the King and Queen took place. Last year's royalty, Eric Rath and Lorraine Geffre crowned the 1977 Sweetheart King and Queen, Tim Rath and Jenny Rau.

The banquet, catered by the D M Cafe, be- gan at 7:00 p.m. The program was opened by Diane Schooley welcoming the Seniors, followed by an acceptance from Eric Rath. Rodney Kappes was the Master of Cere- monies. The speaker was Gordon Zetter- land, who received a standing ovation. Vocal selections by members of the junior class provided entertainment.

The great success was due to the combined hard work and effort of both the band and chorus. The musical was under the direction of Mr. Michael Guffey and Mr. Jim Ochsner. Wayde Blumhardt portrayed Charlie Brown, as a typical day began. It really was just that, a day made up of little moments picked from all the days of Charlie Brown, from Valentine’s Day to the baseball season, from wild opti- mism to utter despair, all mixed in with the lives of his friends and their struggle together in a single day, from a bright uncertain morning to a hopeful starlit evening.

Delmar Haux, President of the school board, pre- sented the diplomas. What we are to be, we are becoming,” was the seniors' motto. Their colors were lime green and yellow and their flower was the yellow rose. Father Marvin McPhee was the speaker for the commencement program. Father McPhee used to teach in Leola.

The Pirates showed much potential in their first game as they downed the Ellendale Cardinals. The victory was followed the next week, though, by a disappointing loss to Britton. Leola then bounced back to trounce the Eureka Trojans and played the North-western Wildcats to a hard-fought 20-20 tie. Next came the Homecoming game, where the Ipswich Tigers ruined the Pirates' night, beating the home team. Two more losses to Northwestern and Ipswich followed, as victory continued to elude the Pirates. The season was finished very impressively, though, as the Pirates did not allow a point in the last seven quarters in victories over Eureka and the Aberdeen Juniors. 1977 Football Team: Coach Larry Goins, Jerome Geffre, Miles Blumhardt, Greg Taylor, JeffWaltman, Jody Hoffman, Brian Nesby, TomKappes, Bryant Arioso, Earl Weiseburger, Tim Rath, Joe Leible, ABOVE: Ron Kappes receives a pass and runs for a touchdown against Eureka.

The following were chosen as All-Conference members: Eric Rath, Dan Schooley, and Wayde Blumhardt. Alternates were Ron Kappes, Don Thorpe, and Tom Kappes. LOWER RIGHT: Bill Taylor and Jeff Hoffman served as student managers for the team. 30 B Team members were: Candice Lechner, Patti Zandstra, Julie Serfoss, Jenny Rau, Bev Morrison, Marie Geffre, Pam Weiszhaar, Kristi Fischer, Linda Mack, Lori Steiger, and Belinda Arioso. Student manager was Patti Schnaidt, Amy Heagley, Liza Erdmann, SuzieZulk, Val Morrison. Girls Achieve Skill in Basketball Although the members of the B squad were new and had played little basketball, they showed great enthusiasm in wanting to learn more about the game. The squad's lack of experience was the major factor contributing to their losing record. Exper- ience gained this past year should make the girls more competitive next year.

Kindelspire’s Girls Gain Experience Girls' basketball has not yet gained the popularity of boys' sports. The girls, how- ever, did become more competitive throughout the season. The girls’ basketball season got under way early with practices beginning in August. Each girl's handling and dribbling of the ball improved greatly. Many girls ex- hibited great potential. Defensively, as well as offensively, the girls equaled many of their competitors. The coach was pleased with the girls' im- provements and called the season success- ful in many ways. A Team members were: Pam Weiszhaar, Doreen Merkle, Jenny Rau, Charlene Geffre, Lorraine Geffre, Marcia Mack, Coach Paul Kindelspire, Bobbie Rath, Linda Mack, Janis Schaffner, Brenda Schumacher, Diane Schooley, Candice Lechner, Kristi Fischer, Suzie Zulk, and Marie Steiger.

Victory Plays a Part Victory played a very elusive role in the Pirates' 1976-77 basketball season as twelve games on the twenty game schedule were registered in the loss column. The Pirates, who were led by six seniors, averaged only 5'9 in the starting line-up. This height disadvantage was overcome many times, though, by way of a fast break style offense and a very scrappy defense. The Pirates lost their first two games of the year before downing Herreid in a game which saw senior guard Dan Schooley score a school-record 46 points. The Northern Conference tourney followed and proved to be a tough one for Leola. The Pirates lost first to Northwestern in overtime play, and then to Ipswich to finish fourth. In District V action, Leola drew a first round bye. The Pirates met the Ipswich Tigers in semifinal action but lost to the eventual champs. Leola then captured third place honors with a resounding victory over the Hosmer Tigers. ABOVE: Ron Kappes goes up for a shot at the district game. RIGHT: John Fischer jumps against Hosmer.

They suffered only one loss in a very close game with Ipswich, making their record 14-1. There were five Freshman that helped round out the team. They all came off the bench to see much action and gain experience. In tournament play, the team lost to Eureka in first round play. They then beat Cresbard and Bowdle to come back and win the consolation championship. UPPER RIGHT: Don Breitag puts up a shot. ABOVE: Keith Kracke gets a tip.

Nineteen boys participated in the 1977 track program, but the team sported only four seniors. The season opened with the Britton Invita- tional and a very impressive second-place finish for the Pirate squad. Seven meets followed the season opener, including the Northern Conference track meet held in Eureka. Leola placed fourth in the meet despite some fine individual efforts. The season closed with the Regional held at Redfield, for all but two Pirates. Wayde Blumhardt won both hurdle events and Dennis Zelmer won the 440 yard dash thereby qualifying for the State Track Meet. At the State Meet Dennis placed fifth in the quarter while Wayde just missed making finals.
