The 1985 86 school year saw Ronald Reagan in the White House and Bill Janklow in the Governor's man- sion. September was marked by an earthquake in Mexico City which levelled much of the downtown area and killed 5000 people. It left another 150,000 homeless. Other concerns for the year included fears of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which claimed the life of actor Rock Hudson. Three AIDS deaths were reported in South Dakota. The summer of 85 was marked by a USA for Africa concert, in which dozens of top pop and rock perform- ers staged a benefit rock super-concert to raise money to feed the starving in Africa. In the fall, rock and country singers held a Farm-Aid concert for farmers caught in the nation's farm crisis. The new year of 1986 was soon marred by tragedy as the space shuttle Challenger exploded after take-off, killing its crew, including schoolteacher Christen McAuliffe. People all around the world became fearful of terror- ism after a rash of hijackings, an attack on Rome's airport, and bombings in West Germany, Great Bri- tain and places all over the globe. Much of the terror- ism was secretly supported by Libyan dictator Muam- mar el Quadaffi. After US-Libyan confrontations in the Gulf of Sidra and an escalation of terrorist activity, President Reagan ordered an air strike on selected targets inside Libya. No sooner had Quadiffi cooled off when the Soviet Chernobyl nuclear power plant went out of control and the core melted down, sending high amounts of radiation across much of Europe. Above-normal radi- ation (although no dangerous) was detected in Pierre, SD. During the school year Prince Charles and Princess Diana visited America as Philippine President Marcos became a permanent guest after being exiled from the Philippines. At the same time, a Voyager space probe became the first earth vehicle to leave the solar system on a journey to the unknown. Closer to home, South Dakota's concern was the weather. The state had an extremely dry 1985, followed by a long, snowy winter — complete with an April blizzard which killed many newborn calves, yet an- other blow to farmers. The spring was wetter than usual, putting many areas of the state under water and postponing crop-planting. And that's the way it was. Opening 3 Students retrace steps Music, sports, schoolwork and friends — all these are a part of any school year, and 1985-86 was no ex- ception. So let's pause for a mo- ment and take a few footsteps back through the happy times and the sad times of a memorable year. In September LHS students elected Launa Fauth and Revi Schaible as homecoming royalty and capped off their celebration with a 32-0 drubbing of Langford. The football team went on to their best season since 1979. The girls' basketball team too had a successful season, defeating rival Ipswich for the first time ever and capturing their first district crown as well. Things did not go as smoothly for the boys, however, as they strug- gled through a rebuilding season which ended with a 3-16 mark. The JV's 13-4 mark pointed the way to- ward success in the future, howev- er. For the first time ever the Christ- mas concert had to be cancelled be- cause of the weather and was per- formed instead the next morning during school. In January the Swing Choir once again took first place in their division at the South Dakota Jazz Festival, and three stu- dents were named to All-State Band. Spring was highlighted by the all- school production of Up the Down Staircase. Juniors built a city of red, gold and silver for the prom, and LHS sent seven tracksters to the state meet. And, of course, who can forget graduation? Certainly not the 31 seniors who walked down the center aisle of the gym for the last time. Senior Julie Hoffman hauls in a rebound in action from the Pirates' district cham- pionship win over Langford. Computer teacher David Carmon learns first-hand what it is like to put up with sophomores, in this case Jerry Geffre. Theresa Guthmiller and Eric Heiser march to the beat which they help to create as the LHS Marching Band performs during the homecoming parade. A chat over the water fountain is a common sight in the halls of LHS. Seniors Launa Fauth and Theresa Guthmiller share this moment between classes. 4 Opening Long ' was the word for earrings in 1985- 86, as these modeled by Theresa Guthmiller illustrate. The layered look was still popular among girls, while Shaker sweaters and miniskirts also made appearances. Melissa Maroney, Sandy Bieber and Kristi Bieber model typi- cal school dress for girls. For students like senior Revi Schaible, the Classmate Tom Rath, on the other hand, slob look was in during 1985-86. liked the Miami Vice look. Students follow fashion trends 1986 was a year during which LHS boys dressed like Don Johnson in white sports jackets with white dress pants or blue jeans. Madonna set the style for girls with mini- skirts and Shaker sweaters with tank tops underneath. Girls also wore stirrup pants with long shirts. Guys wore their hair like Rick Springfield, long in the back and short on top. Girls wore theirs in many different styles, but used ear- rings to set off their hairstyles. 1986 was the year to see how big and how long girls could wear their earrings — and how gaudy! Male students walked through the school year comfortable in tennis shoes and cowboy boots, while the girls wore many different styles, ranging from tennis shoes to pumps and flats to boots. With their shoes the girls chose unusual socks of delicate lace or wildly col- ored patterns. Opening 5 Jeff Berreth maneuvers around the trees with the mower as part of his job'' at home on the family farm. Babysitter Mary Serfoss excites Blake Ket- terling by sharing with him her brand new puppy Jobs earn students money Babysitting, working on the farm and waitressing are a few of the jobs students handle day after day, along with their schoolwork. Juniors Carmen Hoffman and Beth Blumhardt share part of the work- load at the Hi-Way Cafe, while sen- ior Katie Evans and freshman Lynn Kessler pick up spending money working at the D and M Cafe. Sen- iors Mark and Mike Kallas, Brian Shafer and Tom Rath find that their place is usually in the field. Junior Kevin Wolf, on the other hand, helps out at Curt's Repair. What do the students do with the money they earn? Most of the money earned by the girls goes to- ward new clothes, and the rest is put in savings accounts. The guys spend their extra money on their cars or just on having good times. Middle: Katie Evans, waitress at the D and M Cafe, adds up Marlene Kessler's coffee bill.

Senior Kalie Rott wonders why friend Car- men Hoffman refuses to ride his motorcy- cle. Students cruise on wheels The students of LHS do many dif- ferent things during their leisure time, but they all agree that they do not have very much of it. Most LHSers spend their time outdoors riding horses, motorcycles, three- wheelers and bicycles. But a more popular pastime is cruising around with the windows down and the music cranked. Sports are also popular among LHS students. Junior Jay Schaffer en- joys golfing, while other students like to walk, run, work out with weights, hunt or fish. Less active pastimes include watch- ing TV, eating, sunbathing, going to the movies, talking on the tele- phone, playing piano, reading, writing letters and sleeping. Senior Kevin Kolb enjoys drawing and writing, while junior Tammy Guthmiller spends her free time working in the darkroom. Many of the senior and sophomore boys work on their shop projects, while any boy who owns a vehicle spends at least some of his spare time working on it. All of the students enjoy being with their friends and say that when they're with friends, they have fun no matter what they are doing. Opening 7 LHSers cite cars, cats, hits Cats and cars, stereos and cycles — these were a few of LHSers' favorite things. Junior Tammy Guthmiller prized her cat Jessie, while classmate Beth Blumhardt cited her waterbed as her favorite possession. Senior Revi Schaible prized his car, while Kalie Rott favored his motorcycle for getting around. Favorite songs included Missing You ' Heaven, We Built This City and Rock Me Amadeus. At the movies LHSers enjoyed Rambo: First Blood, Youngblood, Back to the Future and Pretty in Pink. And of course, to the seniors the top on their list of favorites had to be graduation because for them it meant not the end but a new begin- ning. Senior Revi Schaible adds up the amount of his speeding ticket and balances it against the pleasures of owning his own car. A favorite pastime of Melissa Maroney and Tammy Guthmiller involves looking for the negative that will make the perfect print.

Miss Virginia Bechtold was back in the classroom. Along with her duties as librarian, Bechtold taught fresh- man English. Grammar and literature were cov- ered by the new high schoolers. The highlight of their year was watching the movie Romeo and Ju- liet. Mrs. Julie George taught sopho- more and college-bound junior and senior English. George's most memorable moments came 'watch- ing the otherwise boisterous soph- omores become speechless during speeches. Non-college-bound English was taught by Mr. Duane Daniel. Dan- iel was also guidance counselor at Leola High. College-bound seniors Katie Evans and Me- lissa Maroney keep an eye on their grade averages as Mrs. Julie George looks on. 10 Academics Sophomore Kyle Steckler and junior Kristi Bieber practice Spanish sentences. Freshmen Jodi Sehauer, Pam Jasmer, Brenda Hatlewick and Doreen Layton put up their Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story bulle- tin board. Sophomore Stewart Bieber demonstrates proper shoe care as one of his speeches. Nemec teaches Spanish Maria, Carlos and Daniela were new names heard in one of the classrooms at LHS. New students? No, these were just a few of the names students received in Miss Charlene Nemec's Spanish classes. Nemec, a first-year teacher, added interest to her classes by hosting a Mexican dinner and teaching the students Spanish folk dances. The seventh hour Spanish class prepared a Mexican dinner for Spanish students in grades 10-12. The menu consisted of tacos and potato skins. Following the dinner students watched movies. The first hour class performed a Mexican folk dance, La Raspa, for grades K.-3 at their Christmas pro- gram. V Miss Charlene Nemec and freshman Doug Yost chuckle over Yost's Spanish transla- tion. Academics 11 Carmon joins staff The 1985-86 computer classes were taught by a new teacher, Mr. David Carmon. The sophomore computer class was introduced to a new com- puter language called Logo. The ju- niors studied the graphics capabili- ties of both BASIC programming and Logo, while the seniors worked with the Appleworks and Flashcalc programs, reviewed Logo and were introduced to Pascal, a high-level computer language, on both the Commodore and Apple computers. Typing I students under Mrs. Doris Hepperle learned how to type business documents, letters, memos and reports. Shorthand stu- dents were introduced to shorthand theory during the fall semester and worked on speed development in the spring. Office education stu- dents spent two hours each day in a simulated office environment working on word processing, writ- ten communication, filing, finan- cial records, mailing and shipping. Office ed students also spent six weeks working downtown in local offices. Accounting, business math and business law were taught by Mr. John Stolle. Stolle enjoyed teaching his business classes because he found satisfaction in helping stu- dents understand the complexities of keeping books for a large busi- ness. He also liked seeing students begin to understand the law and not just think about what they con- sidered fair.

Daniel, Daly teach vocational classes Juniors Mark Hoffman and Tim Kessler learn the art of microwave cooking in home ec. Mrs. Alverde Daniel and Mr. John Daly held sway in the vocational wing of the building, teaching home economics and industrial arts. Daniel taught home ec to sopho- mores, juniors and seniors. In her classes students learned everything from the fundamentals of cooking and etiquette to sewing, nutrition and child development. Daly taught basic drafting and woodworking to the sophomores, while juniors spent one semester learning how to use the torch and to weld and a second semester learning about engines. The sen- iors spent a good part of the year working on individual projects, primarily in the area of woodwork- ing. Academics 13 Belinda Rohwedder receives Kelp from Mr. Ron Struck on her American history assign- ment. Tammy Guthmiller, prosecuting attorney, questions Tom Rath (portraying George Washington), as fellow lawyers Deb Jasmer, Beth Blumhardt and Rick Reis look on. � Biology students brave lab smell Mr. Brad Beck, physics, biology and general science teacher, lec- tured on everything from the hu- man respiratory system to the splitting of atoms. Biology I stu- dents dug bravely into dead organ- isms as they fought back the reek- ing smell of the corpses. Most stu- dents enjoyed the various dissect- ing experiments, although Marsha Maroney strongly felt that the school should save the pigs. Ad- vanced biology students took the long-awaited trip to Presentation College in Aberdeen where they squeamishly viewed cadavers. The physics class was introduced into the mysterious world of matter and energy, in which they desperately tried to understand the complicated reading material and solve complex problems. Mr. Ron Struck, government, world history and U.S. history teacher taught how the government works and where the people who run it come from. Government stu- dents traveled to Pierre to get a first-hand look at how the Legisla- ture works, while the U.S. history students battled it out in the court- room, eventually acquitting both George Washington and Jefferson Davis of treason. World history students studied different cultures around the world and their geogra- phical locations. Miss Ginny Freitag, mathematics teacher, had her advanced math students in teaching the Algebra I students. The majority of the fresh- men enjoyed having someone they knew well teach them. Freitag liked watching student responses to the various seniors who taught. She also enjoyed having Kumi Omata in her algebra class. A highlight for the geometry students was build- ing unique polyhedrons. Freitag also taught junior high art. Janet Zulk and Terrill Guthmiller dissect a fetal pig in biology class. 14 Academics Left: Social studies teacher Ron Struck takes a good-natured ribbing from aide Marie Steckelberg as he waits for the copier.

Academics 15 Vocal director Jim Ochsner rehearses his boys' chorus for the Christmas concert. 16 Half the students at LHS were in- volved in the music program. In addition, two-thirds of the band and chorus members undertook voice or band lessons once a week. These lessons provided them with valuable experience in breathing exercises, sight reading, singing and playing an instrument. Right: Katie Evans practices on the snare drums under the watchful eye of band direc- tor Mick Guffey. Lessons benefit m usicians Working in the Coal Mine, We Are the World and An American Tribute were just a few of the sounds drifting through the halls of LHS during the school day.

Senior Mark Kallas tries his hand at water colors. Life skills Junior Layne Lux undergoes a year-long weight program as part of his physical edu- cation class. Students in art and physical educa- tion classes learned skills that may benefit them in the future. Visitors walking into Mrs. Alverde Daniel's art class might have seen Chuck Weisser sculpting soap into a pig, Mark Kallas painting or Kumi Omata designing a greeting card. Other art projects undertaken by the students included dough art, paper stencil printing, plaster sculpture and junk collages. Before the students could begin Senior physical education student Chuck Weisser follows through on a hit. taught creating their own projects, howev- er, Daniel had to teach them the elements and principles of design and the proper techniques needed for individual art projects. Training students for lifetimes of healthy recreation was the primary objective of both art and physical education classes. During fourth hour Mr. Ron Struck taught the fundamentals of sports to 17 high school boys. The boys participated in a series of individual and team sports, such as flag football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, bad- minton, golf and track.

The highlights for the second-year students was attending Press Day at SDSU in Brookings, where they sat in on journalism workshops and also discovered that the 1984-85 edition of LHS Live and the 1985 Buccaneer had won All-State awards. LHS journalists also took home a Top-of-Class award for most overall points in the compe- tition for schools with enrollments of less than 100. Journalism II students also attended a Josten's yearbook workshop in Aberdeen. Journalism II students spent most of their time in class working on the 1986 Buccaneer and were responsible for choosing the yearbook's theme, cover and overall organization. The students served as go-fors and orga- nizers for visits by Hardin's photogra- pher Terrance Ketterling. Beginning journalism students learned the essentials of newspaper and yearbook journalism. The class learned how to use a 35mm camera, develop film and print pictures and also how to write news stories.

Twenty-nine high school students played roles in the comedy about a first year teacher in a New York City high school who becomes in- volved in the problems of her stu- dents while attempting to cope with the absurd demands of her co- workers. Drama students who played roles in the all-school play included Deb Jasmer, Katie Evans, Mary Serfoss, Marilyn Ketterling, Roxy Schock, Kevin Kolb, Kumi Omata, Donna Duvall and Sandy Bieber.

Nine members of Mrs. Julie George's drama class also present- ed a one-act play. A Young Lady of Property was directed by three- year drama student Deb Jasmer and performed for the junior high and the parents of the drama class. I really enjoy drama. Since direct- ing is another aspect of drama. I'm glad I'm getting a chance to do it and learn as I'm doing it, stated Jasmer about the experience. The drama students also tackled the tasks of oral interpretation, reader's theatre, pantomime, duet acting and monologues. Sets, lights, makeup and cues were some of the worries of the actors in the two-act comedy Up the Down Staircase.

The Leola Pirates football team fin- ished the season with a 6-2 mark, their strongest since 1980. The Pirates rolled through the first five games of the season, piling up impressive victories over Eureka, Frederick, Langford, Northwestern and Waubay. During this five- game stretch the Pirates put 132 points on the scoreboard while limiting their opponents to a mere 12 points. Senior Brian Shafer at- tributed the team's fast start to teamwork and strong defense.' The team's winning streak came to an end in the rain at Warner Octo- ber 11 when the highly-rated Mon- archs shut down the Pirate offense to take a 14-0 win and remain un- defeated. Pirate hopes for a playoff berth faded one week later when the team dropped a 6-22 decision to the McLaughlin Midgets. Once again the team had difficulty sustaining an offense. The Pirates got back on the win- ning track during their final game of the season, however, scoring a 16-12 win on the road against the Rosholt Rams. The win brought the Pirates' season record to 602. The Pirates were coached by Head Coach Ron Struck and Assistant Coach John Daly.

The team was under the direction of first year girls' basketball coach Charlene Nemec and assistant Ma- rie Steckelberg. The team included six seniors who had played togeth- er for four years. The Lady Pirates reached one of their goals when they defeated Ips- wich for the first time in varsity girls' basketball history. Their oth- er goal, going on to the state tour- ney, was stifled by Rosholt at the region tournament in Webster. Overall, said Nemec, the season went very well. The girls had per- sonal goals throughout the season. They went after them — and they succeeded. Senior starters were Marla Guth- miller, Donna Duvall, Launa Fauth and Kim Grabowska.

According to Coach Marie Steckel- berg, the season went well. Steckelberg admitted that things started slowly for the girls, but by the fourth game noticed a distinct improvement that carried through the season. The team's weakness was tur- novers due to bad passes and trav- eling violations, but quickness and cooperation helped to balance the ledger. Steckelberg was also pleased with the girls' rebounding and defense. Polly Kindelspire drives in for a lay-up while teammate Kris Erdmann waits for a possible rebound.

First year coach David Carmon em- phasized the offensive phase of the game. However, low morale and lack of teamwork were cited as problems for the team, which struggled through a rebuilding year. For the first time, the team played in the new three-class system. Sen- iors on the squad were Kalie Rott, Brian Shafer, Tom Rath and Chuck Weisser. 1 85 Pirates include: Sitting: Student Man- ager Lynn Kessler. Kneeling: Coach David Carmon.

The squad's shooting improved as the season progressed, and Carmon feels that if the sophomore-domi- nated team can improve its quick- ness and learn to maintain a high level of concentration they will be a team to be reckoned with in the future.

Under the watchful eye of first- year coach Miss Charlene Nemec, the girls did aerobics and lifted weights to prepare for the six reg- ular season meets, several of which were hampered by bad weather. Weather notwithstand- ing, Nemec was pleased with the girls' performances. Members of the 400 meter relay team were Marla Guthmiiler, Ju- lie Hoffman, Beth Blumhardt and Polly Kindelspire.

Guys, gals pump iron To some LHS students, bronze, sil- ver and gold mean just one thing: IRON. Pumping iron was a popular pas- time at LHS for its top athletes and those who just wanted to get stron- ger or shape up their bodies. An elite few were members of the Weight Club. Its requirements were to be in a sport and to win a medal in an event such as bench press, squats, dead lift and over- the-head. The lifting medals were earned by lifting so many pounds beyond the lifter's weight. For a bronzd medal, for example, the bench presser must be able to lift his own weight. Wdight-lifting was done during PE, study hall and after school. The program was under the direction of Mr. Ron Struck. Kevin Wolf spots for gold medal bench presser Don Yost. 44 Weight Club On the sidelines at every football game keeping stats are Marla Guthmiller and Ju- lie Hoffman.

Royalty crowned Launa Fauth and Revi Schaible were crowned 1985 Homecoming queen and king, and the Pirates topped off their celebration with a 30-0 drubbing of Langford on the football field. Homecoming Week involved lots of preparation for Friday, and in- cluded an Alien Day in which lit- tle-bitty green students roamed the hallways. Star Day found the teach- ers gawking at Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner and Michael Jackson look- alikes. Friday was Blue-and-White Day. A program with the royalty corona- tion and skits were held in the morning. The skits told of the infe- riority of the Langford Lions, and had themes of Working in a Coal Mine' and an extremely bizarre concert involving the girls' basket- ball team. In the afternoon the Homecoming parade featured commercials as its theme. Despite an earlier-than-usual Homecoming, the weather was chilly and windy, but even the weather couldn't dampen the spir- its of a Homecoming game crowd which witnessed an impressive dis- play of both offense and defense by the still-undefeated Pirates.

Seniors 57 Myron Friez Alan Geffre Seniors earn awards No one can say that the Class of '86 is a bunch of losers, and the seniors hae received honors, awards and scholarships to prove it. Honors include Valedictorian Launa Fauth, who was also the Daughters of the American Revo- lution Good Citizen. Sandra Bieber served as a page for the state legis- lature. Alan Geffre and Kevin Kolb attended American Legion Boys' State, and Julie Hoffman and The- resa Guthmiller were Girls' Staters. Melissa Maroney traveled to Texas and New Mexico while serving as state FBLA historian. Scholarship winners included Ke- vin Kolb, who received a Presiden- tial Scholarship to Northern State College, Launa Fauth, who won a $1000 scholarship to Presentation College, and Marla Guthmiller, who received a basketball scholar- ship to Jamestown College.

Seniors have choice Seniors had the greatest choice of classes and the fewest required classes in the high school. All seniors spent a semester learn- ing the basics of business law in consumer s ed and another semes- ter in government. The college- bound English class did a research paper, reviewed grammar and us- age and read Macbeth during a se- mester of English literature. Non- college-bouna seniors read All Quiet on the Western Front, A Walk Across America and The Moonstone. Seniors took such electives as cho- rus, band, art, Spanish, journalism, computers, drama, home econom- ics, office practice and Typing II. The senior boys built a garage, de- signed a house and worked on indi- vidual projects in shop. Trigonom- etry, geometry and calculus were covered in advanced math.

There are the good memories, like Clark Kindlespire's going to the state track meet for all four years in high school. Sandra Bieber recalls the 1985 Junior-Senior Prom and Junior Day at Vermillion. There are the memories to laugh about — even though they didn't seem so funny at the time. David Goh. reminisces back to when 'Donald, Clark and 1 had a snow- ball fight in the hall and hit Mrs. Daniel ' He also notes that once Ron Glaesman ('85) and he stuck an egg in a microwave oven and it blew up. Melissa Maroney thinks back to home ec class, when she put salt into the cookies instead of sugar. She also recalls getting stuck at the rodeo grounds with Jodi, Mary, Marilyn and Katja in Jodi's car. It was extremely cold, and the girls all had to walk back to Leola. There was also dating, first loves, silly crushes, big parties and friends — all converted to the sta- tus of memories for the Class of '86. 62 Seniors Boys' and Girls' Staters for 1985 include: Row: Alan Geffre, Kevin Kolb and Kalie Front Row: Julie Hoffman, Launa Fauth.

However, before that last and final thrill, the seniors look back on many other highlights, including the South Dakota State Fair (includ- ing the Beach Boys and a John Waite concert) and the Prom. The entire class went on a field trip to Pierre to see the Oahe Dam and the State Capitol (one sleety, snowy, stormy day) in February. In March three senior boys went to a KISS concert in Jamestown, and in April several seniors attended the state FBLA convention in Rapid City.

The juniors raffled off one-half of a hog, held a Halloween dance and ran the concession stand at foot- ball and basketball games. The ju- niors also set many class meetings to decide on prom themes and col- ors, pick a band, and decide where to hold the prom dance.

LHS touch of Japan LHS hosted not one, but two Japa- nese foreign exchange students, Yoshimi Takaki and Kumi Omata. Yoshimi is from Okayama, Japan, where she lives with her parents, a little brother and her great-grand- father. Before leaving for a new school in Iowa, she stayed at the Allen January home. Yoshimi plays the piano and en- joys watching baseball. While at LHS she enjoyed typing class. De- spite the cold, she liked South Da- kota's snow. Yoshimi hopes to be- come either a nurse or a kindergar- ten teacher. She hopes to find a iob that will allow her to utilize her bilingual skills. Kumi stayed with the Richard Jasmer family. She is from Yoka- hama, Japan, and has a ten-year-old brother. Kumi plays the Japanese guitar and while in Leola enjoyed horseback riding, window-shopping and be- ing a boys' basketball cheerleader. She was also in Girl Scouts. The least favorite thing here in America, said Kumi, was that she was very busy with homework and didn't have enough time to spend with her friends. Kumi plans to at- tend a university and become an interpreter. Yoshimi's favorite memory of LHS was of her friends, while Kumi found the success of the girls' bas- ketball team and cheerleading try- outs two big highlights of her year. Exchange Students 69 Marsha Maroney spends her free time studying in the library. Sophs cut pigs The Sophomore Class got down to the guts of science in Biology I when they dissected. They looked at clams, earth- worms, grasshoppers, starfish, frogs and fetal pigs. The class complained about the location of their lockers; they are the only class with lockers on the second floor of the building. Since most of their classes are downstairs, they had to do a lot of run- ning. The sophomores claimed that the most memorable event of the year was when Eric Heiser won a pep rally contest by singing like a female opera singer. They also sold Pirate mugs. Sophomore Class officers include Kyle Steckler, president; Barb Maule, vice president; and Eric Heiser, secretary- treasurer.

Freshmen required to take Spanish The freshmen were responsible for building what many agreed to be ''the worst float in the Home- coming parade. However, the Class of '89 spent school time in Typing I, taking five-minute timed writings to win 40 words-a-minute pins at the end of the year. The class was also re- quired to take Spanish and learn the basics of chemistry and phys- ics in general science. Miss Vir- ginia Bechtold taught English I to the class (who liked to argue with her), and the students also discov- ered ramifications for the value of x in Algebra I. For initiation, many freshmen were invited to eat lunch with the seniors. They were then required to write compositions in proper form describing their experiences and give them to the seniors for grading.

The five-member school board was headed by President Milbert Kappes. The board adopted a new attendance policy early in the year to comply with new state regula- tions and purchased new play- ground equipment. Mr. William Freitag completed his second year as both superintendent and elementary principal, and noted that I'm better aware of what all is going on the second year This weather has made an old man of me again ' he added, how- ever, speaking of the unpredictable winter weather. Freitag pointed out that it is very difficult to decide when school should be called off. Mr. Marvin Maule, high school principal for 29 years, said that the best part of his job is lunch, but added seriously that trying to guide kids in the right direction is a real highlight. The Student Council, which met roughly every two months, consist- ed of a young man and lady repre- sentative from each class, plus three senior officers, ail elected by their classmates. The council was responsible for arranging Home- coming events and hired a hard- rock band to play for a St. Valen- tine's Day dance. 74 Administration Superintendent Bill Freitag looks over the 1986 activity calendar. Members of the Student Council are Renee man, Mike Kallas, Kim Grabowska, Secre- Rath, Diane Yost, Tammy Guthmiller, tary Theresa Guthmiller, Vice President Jodi George Weisser, Jerry Geffre, Mark Hoff- Berreth and President Launa Fauth.

The typical Leola High School teacher ends his or her day worn to the soul. A teacher's day may start with a cup of coffee in the lounge as a waker-upper, followed by a look in the mailbox for any official school mail. For each class period, the teacher has to take roll call, as well as tally up how many are eating lunch at the beginning of the day. The teacher teaches class, often in fear of an entire period lecturing and then coming back the next day to find no one has learned any- thing. There are millions of ques- tions to answer and the teacher has to know the subject just as well as the teacher knows his or her name. Even during a free period, the teacher is busy ordering supplies and materials, designing home- work, typing and copying tests, and coordinating lesson plans to cover as much as possible in a nine- week period. Even after the school day has end- ed, the teacher has to correct papers and work on lesson plans, often until late at night. Members of the LHS faculty are: Front Row: Julie George.

Faculty 77 Sneakers Grades Eigh th learn Spanish The eighth graders were required to take Spanish, taught by Miss Char- lene Nemec. The students gave themselves Spanish names and learned Spanish dances. All of the eighth grade boys partici- pated in junior high basketball and the girls took health class, where they learned the skills of first-aid. Mr. Richard Jasmer, class supervi- sor, taught math, literature and earth science. Mrs. Diann Aberle taught the class about early Ameri- can history, as well as English and spelling. The students put up bul- letin boards for extra credit. The president of the Eighth Grade Class was Greg Hoffman. Annette Geffree was the vice president, and Jeff Zulk was secretary-treasurer.

The class also studied South Dakota for nine weeks. For block classes the seventh grade made paper mache pinatas in art class, sewed pillows and footballs in home economics and made rock- ets, key holders and lamps in shop class. The class also studied spelling, so- cial studies, English, reading, sci- ence, math and PE. Most of the class was involved in junior high sports, and many were in band. Mrs. Diann Aberle was home room teacher. Toby Steckler was elected class president, Trent Weig was chosen vice president, and Jamie Rott was voted to be secretary-trea- surer.

Fifth grade subjects were math, reading, English, spelling, science, social studies and art. Sean January looks for something to do with his spare time. 84 Fifth Grade Mrs. Susan Ackerson gives some extra help to Chris Schell. Students visit museum The fourth grade, taught by Mrs. Susan Ackerson, read the book se- ries by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

They studied math, science, health, social studies, spelling, phonics and penmanship. Recess and gym class with Mr. John Stolle were two aspects of school life that the first graders liked best. The reason for this choice was that we like moving better than sitting. Watching Tales in a Treehouse on TV exposed first graders to chil- dren's literature and captured their imaginations. They also watched Dragons, Wagons and Wax, which took them into the world of sci- ence, where they encountered the world of living things (dragons), simple machines and motion (wag- ons), and matter (wax). Lunch is a very important part of the day for first graders like Hollie Shafer. 88 First Grade Michael Geffre receives his cap and diploma during kindergarten graduation.

Not everyone on the staff at LHS has class. At least not everyone teaches class. Take, for instance, the special edu- cation teachers who help the gifted and learning disabled. Mrs. Lois Merkel tutored students in Chapter I reading, and Mrs. Diane Tschap- pat taught Chapter 1 math. Mrs. Marlys Thurow worked with both the gifted and the learning disa- bled. And Mrs. Jean Guffey coordi- nated the special ed program and served as speech therapist. In addi- tion, Mrs. Brenda White worked part-time in the special ed depart- ment. Mrs. Marie Steckelberg spent the year as assistant girls' basketball coach, elementary teachers' aide and recess monitor. Other school employees in the no class category include John Thiel- sen and John Bendewald, custo- dians, and John Grabowska and Alan Geffre, their part-time assis- tants. Marlene Kessler and Bonnie Gill. Constant concerns were nutrition and variety, although school food was a favorite topic for student wisecracks. Pat Schaffner was the bus manager and was responsible, along with six other drivers, for nine buses and seven bus routes. Special education teachers are Jean Guffey, Diane Tschappat, Lois Merkel and Marlys Thurow. The cafeteria staff was headed by 90 Special Education Feeding the hungry each day are school Marlene Kessler, Olga Bender and Bonnie cooks Maggie Bendewald, Delores Bain, Gill.
