1979-1980 Buccaneer Leola High School Leola, South Dakota Volume 32 Mrs. Leona Kulm 1929-1980 According to Atticus Finch in the novel TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, courage is “when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.” Mrs. Kulm, to us you were a winner. Thank you for your love, your dedication, and most of all your example in courage. We will never forget you. 2 Dedication Table of Contents Special Events 7 Organizations 15 Athletics 29 Curriculum 43 Seniors 53 Underclassmen 65 3 A Backward Glance. . . The 1979-1980 school year has drawn to a close, and it’s time to be “movin’ on,” but before we say goodbye to the year that was, let us pause a mo- ment for a backward glance at who we were and what we did in 1980 at LHS. 1980 was an eventful year—both at home and abroad. Iranian militants held 53 American hos- tages at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, and Russian troops marched into Afghanistan, prompting President Carter to call for a boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow and the resumption of draft registration for eligible young men. The price of gas rose to $1.25 a gallon at the pump, and across the country primary elections called for President Carter and Ronald Reagan to meet in the fall. Closer to home, the Pirate football team took an unbeaten record to the Dakota Dome where they pounded l-rated Tripp to take over first place in the state Nine Man poll and add fuel to the con- troversy over football playoffs in South Dakota. In basketball the Pirates breezed through District V before falling to the McLaughlin Midgets in Re- gional play for the second year in a row. Derek Merkel was the individual standout for LHS at the State Track Meet, and girls’ athletics continued their improvement throughout the year. Miles Blumhardt and Denise Hoffman reigned over Homecoming festivities, while Jim Bain and Rhonda Waltman were elected Sweetheart King and Queen. As a group we considered inflation the most seri- ous problem facing the U.S. today and looked to Ronald Reagan to provide new answers to old problems. We enjoyed Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall,” THE DUKES OF HAZARD, and THE JERK, but yawned through STAR WARS and turned thumbs down on KISS. We loved pizza but groaned every time the cooks pre- sented us with cheeseburger souffle. School dances were out, but water fights, setting up lockers, and hanging out in the halls were in. After high school three-fourths of us expressed hope of attending college or vocational school, with the remainder of us opting for the job market or the armed services. We’re looking forward to the future, but we know that we’ll always look back at years like 1980 as the best of our lives. 4 Opening Opening 5 6 Opening SPECIAL EVENTS Homecoming Is Celebrated The annual Pirate Day festivities were cele- brated the week of October 5, 1979. The cheerleaders opened homecoming week with three spirit-making days. Wednesday was designated Hat and Button Day, Thursday was Tip-suit Day, and Friday was Blue and White Day. Denise Hoffman and Miles Blumhardt were chosen to reign as Home- coming king and queen. Following the coro- nation were the traditional skits and a per- formance by the band and chorus. The Pi- rates celebrated with a 32-16 victory over the Northwestern Wildcats. A dance featuring Clearwater followed the game.

Homecoming 9 Juniors Host “Forever Friends” On the evening of April 26, 1980, the annual Junior- Senior Prom was held in the school gym. The gym was decorated in the colors of royal purple, orchid, violet, silver, and white. “Forever Friends” was the theme chosen by the junior class. Jim Guthmiller was the Master of Ceremonies. He introduced the guest speaker, John Swanson, who spoke on the topic of “The Small Town Syndrome.” For entertainment Merle Mack sang “The Good-Bye Girl; Laurie Adam played “Longer” on the flute with Joan Hoffman accompanying on the pi- ano; and Jim Guthmiller sang the theme song “Forever Friends.” Lowell Morrison read the class wills and Tim Geffre the class prophecy. Joan Hoffman concluded the entertainment with an original poem entitled “A Ring of Gold.” The prom then began with the traditional Grand March. Music was provided by “The Mix.” Waiters and waitresses for the banquet were Paul Fi- scher, Danny Lechner, Steve Salzer, Rick Beilke, Troy Grabowska, Mary Leibel, Tammy Kindelspire, Theresa Beiber, Paulette Kallas, and Marla Maroney.

The cheerleaders also attended a cheer- leading clinic in Aberdeen, where they learned new cheers and stunts which they used throughout the year. The football cheerleaders had the privilege of cheering their team on at the Dakota Dome. Helping the Pirates to victory over Tripp in this special game was an exciting experience for them.

The powerful Pirates’ achievements climaxed when they routed previously unbeaten and No. 1 ranked Tripp 34-0 in the spectacular Dakota Dome at Ver- million.

This year they broke the jinx, finishing the year with an 11-7 record. The Pirates started their season successfully, winning their first three games before falling to Ellendale. The girls dropped three of their next five contests but didn’t give up and ended the season strongly, winning six of their last nine games. The girls proved that they could play good bas- ketball and were especially proud of the fact that they twice put a scare into the Ipswich Tigers, their perennial nemesis. The senior-dominated squad ended the year with a third place finish in the District Tourna- ment, defeating Frederick 37-34. Girls’ Basketball 33 Leola Pirates’ team captains were: Pat- mann, Julie Serfoss, and Beverly Mor- ty Geffre, Valerie Zandstra, Liza Erd- rison.

Future Team Looks Good The Leola “B” Team cagers closed out a winning season with a third place finish in the “B” Team tourna- ment. After a 39-22 loss to Cresbard in the opening round, the young Pi- rates bounced back with a 40-35 overtime victory over Faulkton to take home the third place trophy. The Pirates’ win capped a regular season performance of nine wins and seven losses and provided fans with hopes for another winning season in 1980. The sophomore-dominated squad got off to a successful start, winning five of their first six games. The Pi- rates then fell into a, mid-season slump, losing three consecutive games before getting back on the winning track and capturing four of their last seven games.

Cagers Repeat In District V Coach Gary Host’s inaugural year at LHS end- ed with a respectable 14-8 record. Again the Pirates breezed through District V before being halted by the magnificent McLaughlin Midgets in the first round of the Region II tourney 55- 74. The Blue V White rebounded, however, to capture third place by trouncing Hoven 68-37. The roundballers got off to a very slow start during the regular season, dropping four of their first five games, including three confer- ence contests. The determined Pirates then went on a rampage, winning six consecutive games and ten of thirteen contests prior to the Districts. The Pirates finished in second place in the Northern Conference. The red-hot Pirates then made Frederick and Ipswich walk the plank by drowning both 70-55 and 45-35 to capture their second District V title in two years.

Young Pirates Coach John Daly’s maturing junior varsity posted a promising 11-11 record and brightened hopes for fu- ture years of basketball success at LHS. The young Pirates got off to a woeful start but got things rolling the second half of the season, winning six of nine. Ipswich hosted the “B” Team Tourney for the first time, and the Blue ’n’ White finished sixth. McLaughlin fought back to dump the Pirates by 10 in the opening round. The Bucs then edged Hosmer by a basket before falling to McLaughlin a second time 41-48. A Ninth Grade Tourney held at Faulkton was cap- tured by the Pirates, as they crushed Wolsey and trimmed Faulkton on the road to the championship.

Faculty 51 They Work Hard A modern school system could not keep running with- out its auxiliary personnel, and LHS is no exception. The cooks, janitors, and bus drivers all play an impor- tant part in seeing to it that the day runs smoothly, and their day is often a long, hard one. Another integral part of any school system is its board of education. This year the Leola Board of Education, under the leadership of Harlan Krein authorized the purchase of district-owned buses. Serving with Krein on the board were Gordon Mack, Ernest Zulk, Ron Beiber, and Francis Kallas. TOP LEFT: Grade schoolers clean their plates in the lunchroom.

Seniors 61 62 Seniors Seniors Look Ahead Since this was the last year that the seniors were under the careful super- vision of family and faculty, most of them have planned for the future. Twenty-nine seniors have decided to try college life, six are venturing into the armed forces, and seven are in- terested only in finding a job. Most of the seniors have taken a va- riety of classes so as to have a broad background to meet the challenges of this increasingly complex world. The average senior has taken four years of English and two years of U.S. His- tory and Government along with other specialties such as shop, home economics, mathematics, or chemis- try. Twenty-six seniors were in- volved in either music or athletics, while many of the others took part in such activities as FHA, FBLA, or journalism.

Seniors Take Time To Enjoy Life There was always plenty of work to do at LHS, but sometimes the seniors just didn’t feel like working. The library was a good place to go, but mostly it was used for study. The halls were loitered in, however, and occasionally a water fight would break out. The stairs and hall by the senior lockers were usually jammed with seniors welcoming anyone walking by. Now and then these little get-to- gethers would be broken up by some faculty member who happened by, but mostly the seniors were left to their own devices. Setting up lockers was a common practice, and once in awhile a poster of picture of someone would be hung above the water fountain by person or persons unknown. These little pranks were generally harmless, how- ever, and aided the students in breaking the day-to-day routine of studying and providing for a more relaxing atmosphere.
