A schoolhouse looks back. . . One philosophical question should be asked time and time again — 'Why are they here? Why are these runny-nosed kindergarteners, these rapidly-changing junior high kids, these growing-up-too-fast upper classmen HERE — in the halls, in tne rooms, inside ME — the Leola School. These students become a part of me. They become my life, my soul. Without them I am just a heap of bricks. On ordinary days and special days, from the moment the first schoolbus disgorges its load of students in front of my door until long after 3:15, when the last light has been turned off and the last door has been locked for the night, I am a vital part of the lives of the young people of the Leola community. While the Middle East was once again in turmoil, Ethiopia was starving and the U.S. continued its indi- rect involvement in Central America, the LHS students recognized the school's individuals who live in the middle of nowhere as boonies. While Ronald Rea- gan was re-elected to a second term over Walter Mon- dale, Leola kids pointed their thumbs and growled, You're outa here! If someone made an intriguing statement, you heard, This is true. If someone began spewing hogwash or tried to do something stupid, he was a sap. South Dakota's legislature allowed fam- ilies in schools with only a handful of students to send their children to larger schools, and the Board of Re- gents raised college entrance requirements. Students listened to Madonna and Prince and jammed to heavy metal. They stayed home and threw home- work aside to watch nighttime soaps like Dynasty and Knots Landing, while Late Night with David Letter- man and a radio show called Mr. Demento drew small cult followings. This was the school year Rob Waltman and Jeri San- born were named Homecoming royalty and Shawna Rott became Leola's Snow Queen. LHS had relatively good girls' and boys' basketball seasons and a 1 swing choir in its division. FBLA had its largest chap- ter ever, and six members of the track teams made it to the state track meet. All I Need was the theme of a prom which saw the gym transformed into a purple and silver wonderland of streamers and balloons. Yes, more than a brick building where kids sit in classes — no. I'm much more. I'm everyone who is inside or attending extra-curricular activities each day. From morning to night, take a look at just one day in the life of a schoolhouse. 1. Scott Geffre receives a graduation hug from Rhonda Reis, while Sid Feickert is similarly treated in the background. 2. Junior Chuck Weisser fights for tough yardage against a stingy Faulkton defense] 3. Trombonist Jay Schaffer marches down Leola's Main Street dun ing the homecoming parade. 2 Opening
