Where Were You When ? 1988 Buccaneer Leola High School Leola, South Dakota 57456 Volume 30 Duane E. Daniel 1929-1987 Paul A. Christian 1970-1987 Yearbook honors Daniel, Christian LHS lost two members of its high school population during the sum- mer of 1987. Mr. Duane E. Daniel, 58, died of cancer Friday, June 5, at St. Luke’s Hospital in Aber- deen. Paul A. Christian, 16, died in an accident near Leola Satur- day, July 18. Daniel moved to Leola in 1971. He was the guidance counselor and driver’s education teacher at LHS for 16 years. Family members in- clude his wife, Alverde Daniel, who teaches home economics and art at LHS, and three daughters. Daniel rarely missed an LHS bas- ketball game. He could always be seen at the scorer’s table announc- ing the players. Daniel was also active in church and community affairs. Paul “Vern” Christian attended school in Milbank through his sophomore year, when he moved to a farm near Leola and lived with his sister, Teresa Bonnet, and her husband Terry. At LHS Christian was on the varsity foot- ball team and played on the Leola American Legion baseball team. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, archery and horseback riding. 2 Dedication Philip Kallas crowns Jeff Berreth Home- coming King while candidate Stewart Bieber looks on.

Table of Contents Opening 2 People 5 Activities 29 Grades 77 Index 94 Football team advances to playoffs Where were you when the football team made it to the playoffs, “Dirty Dancing” stayed in Aber- deen several weeks and Michael Dukakis and Jesse Jackson were battling to face George Bush in the 1988 Presidential election? The Leola Pirates ended their sea- son with a 20-6 loss to Hitchcock- Tulare in the second round of the 9B football playoffs. 1987 was the first year the football team ever made it to the playoffs. LHS girls swarmed to see the movie “Dirty Dancing” starring Patrick Swayze, while the guys preferred the movie “Good Morn- ing, Vietnam.” LHS students experienced a few changes during 1987-88. The Pi- rates joined the Yellowstone Trail Conference in both football and basketball. The cheerleaders and Swing Choir got new uniforms, and driver’s education was brought back into the LHS cur- riculum. During Homecoming Jeff Berreth and Barbara Maule were crowned King and Queen. And in April the Leola Swing Choir placed third in the Black Hills State College Jazz Festival in Spearfish. Locally, a volleyball league spon- sored by the Aid Association for Lutherans was formed. Approxi- mately 42 LHS students partici- pated in the league. WEB water finally came to Leola, causing some students to leave with their families as the pipeline headed south and east. Controversial legislation went into effect April 1 raising the drinking age in South Dakota to 21. The Governor vetoed legislation on the controversial issue of whether Northern State College should be given university status or not. In Aberdeen there was a merger between St. Luke’s and Dakota Midland Hospitals. The merger changed the name of the hospitals to St. Luke’s Midland Regional Medical Center and resulted in the loss of more than 80 jobs. On the national level, New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley proposed to have the Black Hills returned to the Sioux Indians, and Marine Colonel Oliver North was indicted on charges arising from the Iran- Contra scandal.

LHSers enjoy sports, cars, movies Where were you when LHSers were cruising around town listen- ing to tunes? When they turned on their ste- reos, LHSers enjoyed listening to 16 year old Tiffany, Cher, Poison and White Snake. The Oak Ridge Boys and Alabama were favorites of LHS’s country westerners. The old favorite of jeans and a T shirt took on a new twist with jeans that could be either stone, platinum or diamond washed, snowed or frosted. LHS girls stepped out in miniskirts and “Gilligan” shoes, while the guys stuck to cut-off shirts and cowboy boots. Whether on the side or in the back, bananas showed up in many girls’ hair, while more and more guys got out the gel and tried a spike. In their spare time high schoolers enjoyed playing sports and cruis- ing around Leola. Guys spent time working on their cars, hunting, playing cards and chasing girls. The girls liked to talk on the phone, read and be with friends. On weekends, LHSers met uptown to form carloads and travel to movies, dances and away ball- games. 4 Opening The Homecoming crowd applauds their newly elected king and queen. People 5 The Senior Class officers — Vice President Kyle Stickler, President Jerry Geffre and Secretary-Treasurer Eric Heiser — dress to show off the “Miami Vice” look. Jeff Berreth Senior classes funny, Where were you when the boys in the senior English class promised to buy Mrs. George a “special pre- sent”? The seniors enjoyed a variety of classes in 1987-88. Deon Vilhauer liked shop best be- cause “you don’t just sit around and listen; you work with your hands.” Neil Geffre felt that shop was more exciting because “we had a good teacher and he joked around with us a lot.” Stewart Bieber really enjoyed woodwork- ing and therefore he also liked shop the best. English was Diane Yost’s favorite class because “I like Mrs. George and I liked learning about Old and Middle English. The discussions we had were also interesting.” Ja- net Zulk agreed with Yost but said that she liked English for “all the slamming that went on” instead of for the educational aspect. Photography class was the favor- ite for Marsha Maroney, Faye Lechner and Cindy Moser. All three enjoyed taking, developing and printing pictures. Jeff Berreth preferred PE because there was “no strain on the brain and it relieved stress from morn- ing classes.” Gerard Retzer agreed that not having to use his brain was the advantage of taking PE. Brett Hoffman enjoyed blowing the minds of juniors Pam Jasmer and Rhonda Reis with his trumpet in band. Jason Fauth felt that Mr. Clark Reider, advanced math teacher, “made the class interesting, espe- Stewart Bieber educational dally when we just sat around and talked.” He also enjoyed sitting around playing Trivial Pursuit or Pictionary. “It’s a horse race between comput- ers and study hall because I do about the same amount of work, which isn’t very much,” stated Kyle Steckler, referring to his fa- vorite classes. Hoffman’s funniest class exper- ience came when “I got a new mom; her first name was Mrs. George, but now it’s Mom!” Yost thought “every day in Eng- lish was funny because the guys had a way of making the discus- sions more interesting.” Zulk agreed, saying that Eric Heiser’s description of a horse as an iron monster was her funniest class- room memory. 6 Seniors Seniors Kris Erdmann and Diane Yost mug at the camera.

Brett Hoffman Seniors reminisce about memorable times Where were you when the Class of ’88 were handed their diplomas and began to reminisce about LHS? When Kris Erdmann looked back, she recalls “when Kent Kolb (’85) tried to throw me down the high school stairs.” Erdmann also re- membered when “Mr. Struck fell off his chair during sophomore history class.” Janet Zulk shook when she thought of the time “when my dri- ver’s ed. partner, Marsha Mar- oney, was driving about 20 mph and was trying to go over the big- gest hill in Long Lake and Mr. Daniel told her to speed up or we weren’t going to make it and she stepped on it and flew over the hill.” Deon Vilhauer remembered going to Colorado for Swing Choir and also hitting quarterbacks at the playoffs in football. Jeff Berreth, on the other hand, thought “my whole freshman year” was very memorable. Seniors 9 Planning future proves challenging for seniors Where were you when Brett Hoff- man visited the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks and decided to take up aviation be- cause he “wanted to do something exciting”? Hoffman will be joined in his pro- fession by Stewart Bieber and Jack Heyd. Bieber will also attend UND, but Heyd will attend col- lege in Daytona Beach, Fla. LeAnn Kessler, Terrill Guth- miller and Jim Schauer will head toward Watertown’s Lake Area Vocational-Technical Institute, where Kessler and Guthmiller will study human services and Schauer will take up ag production. Diane Yost and Kris Erdmann will make the break and journey out of state. Yost will journey to the University of Mary at Bis- marck to study social work, and Erdmann will journey to Moor- head State University, where she will study criminal justice and so- cial work. Neil Geffre, Marsha Maroney and Gerard Retzer are undecided about what path their future plans will lead them down, but Jeff Ber- reth and Russell Schaffner will head for the money, travel and the challenge of the Marines. Deon Vilhauer and Eric Heiser will also seek a career in the service but will join the Air Force. Luanna Hoffman Staying a little bit closer to home are Jason Fauth, Faye Lechner and Jerry Geffre, who will all be attending Northern State College for business. Cindy Moser will also be in Aberdeen but will at- tend Presentation College to be- come a surgical technician. Kyle Steckler, Janet Zulk, Luanna Hoffman and Barb Maule will be staying in state but will venture a bit farther from home. Steckler will study teaching and coaching at Dakota State, while Zulk will study criminal justice and athletic training at Dakota Wesleyan. Barb Maule can be found at South Dakota State University, where she will be studying nursing, and further south Luanna Hoffman can be found at the University of South Dakota studying psycholo- gy- Brett Hoffman harasses Janet Zulk as she prepares to leave at the end of a hard day. 10 Seniors Barb Maule and Kyle Steckler have a slight disagreement during a party in math as Clark Reider looks on.

LHS students attend Girls, Boys States Where were you when Janet Zulk was chosen for Leola High School’s 1987 Daughters of the American Revolution Citizenship Award? Jack Heyd and Stewart Bieber were chosen 1987 American Le- gion Boys Staters. Girls Staters were LeAnn Kessler and Janet Zulk. One of the things they all enjoyed about their experiences at Boys and Girls State was the new people they all met. Zulk didn’t like the first day and a half, how- ever, because “I was scared and didn’t know what to expect. ’ Kessler liked picking the party platform best. Bieber liked being a lawyer for a week, although he dis- liked the fact that at Boys State there were “no women!” Seniors 13 Deon Vilhauer Diane Yost Janet Zulk Senior Brett Hoffman shows his true ape- like behavior when he catches sight of the camera in the lunchroom. 14 Seniors Junior Class officers President Jim Morri- son, Vice-President Mary Kallas and Sec- retary-Treasurer Pam Jasmer show off the candy they hope to sell in the concession stand in order to raise money for the prom. Junior Polly Kindelspire comes down from the sky on Alien Day long enough to take her history test. Juniors remember , ballgames, friends Brian Grabowska, Philip Kallas, Kenny Kessler, Troy Weig and Mike Wolff goof around between volleyball games during Homecoming Week. Where were you when “little Doug Yost ran an interception back in for a touchdown”? This was what Troy Weig said he would remem- ber most about his junior year. Junior George Weisser’s most memorable experience also hap- pened on the football field. He said that he will always remember “making it to Hitchcock for the playoffs.” Mary Kallas felt that she would never forget “when Diane (Yost) and I went out to the dam and saw this duck sitting on a bunch of ice and asked it if it needed a lift.” Other memories were not so hu- morous. Jodi Schauer recalls one Monday morning when the water line in her car broke on the way to school. “I will always remember that morning; I drove into the school parking lot in a cloud of smoke,” she said. Some memories involved the class’ teachers. Jim Morrison will remember when he and Philip Kallas embarrassed Mrs. George at the Cresbard boys’ basketball game by standing up and yelling, “Hey, that’s Mrs. George. She be our English teacher!” Brian Gra- bowska recalls when “Philip asked Mrs. George to the 1988 Prom.” Foreign exchange student Hart- frid Wolff summed up the year by saying that “every special event was a great impression for me.” Every dance, every ballgame, even an ordinary day at school created a special memory for someone. Juniors 15 Brian Grabowska Georgia Guthmiller Brenda Hatlewick Pamela Jasmer Mary Kallas Philip Kallas Kenneth Kessler Lynn Kessler Juniors look forward to decorating gym Where were you when the Class of 1989 was decorating for the Ju- nior-Senior Prom Sixty-five percent of the class felt that prom was the thing they most looked forward to their junior year. Georgia Guthmiller awaited prom “because it’s one thing the Junior Class gets to totally take charge of.” Others looked forward to decorating for prom, and Ken- neth Kessler just wanted to “chal- lenge myself in asking a girl out to prom.” Juniors also looked for- ward to boys’ basketball season, class rings and summer vacation. “Having to work at the concession stand and having to worry about raising enough money for prom” were what Tarri Rott felt was the worst part about being a junior. Renee Rath felt that the worst part about being a junior was “all the tests that are offered to juniors to take (aptitude, ACT, etc.) and having to start to think about my future plans.” Other juniors felt that they had too much home- work. Most of the class agreed that the best thing about being a junior was that they only have one year of school left. Junior Renee Rath protests as the camera catches her on a Monday morning. 16 Juniors Rhonda Reis Tarri Rott Jodi Schauer Troy Weig George Weisser Hartfrid Wolff Mike Wolff Doug Yost Juniors 17 Brian Grabowska fills popcorn bags while working at the concession stand.

Where were you when worms, frogs and pigs were being cut up? If you were an LHS sophomore, you were in the lab dissecting the animals for biology class. The Class of 1990 was the first class at LHS required to have three years of lab science. The Freshman Class used new science books and a revised curriculum, which let them count their fresh- man year as a lab science. The Sophomore Class was not so lucky; they will have to take four years of science since their fresh- man year will not count toward meeting the state requirement. Almost half the sophomores listed home economics as their favorite class. “I like to work with my hands, and the period goes ex- tremely fast,” quoted Annette Geffre. Another favorite was shop. Joel Guthmiller said he liked shop because “you’re always learning new things and doing something, not like in some classes where you sit all period and listen to a teach- er.” Jeff Zulk thought his favorite class was computers “because it gives you time to relax during the day, and the class is not so hectic.” Other favorite classes for the sophomores were band, biology and study hall.

Freshmen remember Homecoming initiation Where were you when the fresh- men were walking around the gym holding umbrellas? Homecoming initiation was their most memorable experience of the year, according to the freshmen. The freshmen were forced to walk around in a circle in front of the Homecoming crowd carrying an umbrella. Whenever the seniors yelled “Spritz,” the freshmen had to sit down, open the umbrellas and sing “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head.” The end of the year is what the freshmen are most looking for- ward to. Passing their classes is another of their goals for the year. Classes taken by the freshmen in- clude English I, physical science, Algebra I, Typing I, band, com- puters, chorus, driver’s education, art, journalism and physical edu- cation. Freshmen 21 Junior Mike Wolff stops at the water foun- tain for a drink between classes. Where were you when these three new students walked into LHS for the very first time? What was it like for these new stu- dents on their first day of school? Junior Mike Wolff was “a little nervous because I didn’t know anybody.” Freshman Ron Schock agreed with Wolff, while freshman Tom Kempf felt “like I had stepped into the Twilight Zone.” LHS acquired these new students through the closing of the Forbes school. All three students agreed that the biggest difference be- tween Forbes and LHS is the size of the classes. Wolff, for instance, came from a class of only two stu- dents. Having more classmates was what Wolff felt was the best part of go- 22 New Students New students recall nervous first days ing to school in Leola. The worst? “There is too much homework,” said Wolff. In his spare time Wolff likes to Fish, play cards, watch TV and sleep. At LHS Wolff was in- volved in basketball and chorus. “The more friendly people meet,” was the best part of going to school in Leola for Schock. He felt that the worst part was “the food, sometimes.” Schock enjoys hunting and fishing. He is also in- terested in model building, NASA and the Air Force. Schock was in basketball at LHS. Kempf felt that the classes at LHS were harder that they were in Forbes. In his spare time Kempf likes to listen to the radio and watch TV. He is also interested in “football and fast things.” Tom Kempf and Ron Schock work on the keyboarding skills during typing class. Freshman Tom Kempf, Toby Steckler a Ron Schock discover the boiling point salt water in a science lab. Hartfrid Wolff plays the piano for the Homecoming crowd. The camera catches Renee Rath unaware during English class. Also pictured are ju- niors Brian Grabowska and Hartfrid Wolff. Exchange student Hartfrid Wolff is a member of the LHS basketball squad. German student enjoys American basketball Where were you when foreign ex- change student Hartfrid Wolff made his first appearance on the LHS basketball court? Boys’ basketball season was what Wolff said he looked forward to the most during his year at LHS. Wolff said that he liked to play basketball. At LHS Wolff was a member of both the junior varsity and varsity teams. Wolffs most memorable exper- ience as a junior was “the first two weeks where I tried to understand the school system and where I made all the friends.” School is very different for Wolff in Amer- ica. In Germany, there are no lock- ers to put his books in, and the teachers go to students; the stu- dents don’t go to different rooms. Wolffs favorite thing about being a junior was “all the easy classes and to be together with my other junior classmates.” In Germany Wolff must take all classes of- fered, whereas at LHS, he chose seven classes. Wolff is interested in music. He plays the piano and the cello. At LHS Wolff played the xylophone in the band and was also a mem- ber of the chorus. Wolff was also involved in Luther League. In No- vember Wolff traveled to the state Luther League convention with six other league members. Wolff has one brother and one sis- ter back home in Germany. His family lives in Grenzach-Wyhlen, West Germany, close to Basel, Switzerland. In Leola he stayed with the Myron Fauth family.

High school principal Marvin Maule dem- onstrates how to use the school’s new tele- phone system. Administrators enjoy LHS students Where were you when it was time to decide whether the roads were icy enough for a snow day? This was just one of the decisions made by fourth year superintendent William Freitag. Freitag felt that the best part of his job was “the kids,” while the worst part was “trying to comply with all the regulations.” High school principal Marvin Maule, who completed his 31st year with the Leola School District, felt that the best part of his job was “seeing young people develop (positive- ly).” The most irritating part, he said, was watching “the students who have no difficulty in doing well but will put out nothing or very little. Business manager Mary Schaffer enjoys working on the computer during her hours, while school sec- retary Lila Rau likes “to keep in touch with the children of the community.” Rau adds that there’s nothing she really dislikes about her job except “maybe run- ning up and down the steps.” Another part of administration was the Student Council. The group was made up of one male and female representative from each class plus three senior offi- cers, all elected by their class- mates. 24 Administration Below left: Superintendent and elemen- tary principal William Freitag checks for misbehaving students.

Faculty Teachers need more time in day Where were you when your par- ents attended conferences with these twelve teachers? Were you at home praying that your teach- ers wouldn’t say what you’re real- ly like in class? From the teachers that have been here longer than the school to the new kids on the block, every mem- ber of the faculty is busy, busy, busy. Taking roll call, making les- son plans, correcting papers, lec- turing, typing tests and answering questions are all part of a “nor- mal” day for a teacher. It wouldn’t be so bad if all these things could be done during the school day, but for many teachers there is never enough time in the day to do all that needs to be done. Often teachers have more “homework” than the students do. For those whose week revolves around the students of LHS, life is rarely boring. All they can do is keep working, hope they don’t have a nervous breakdown and dream of summer vacation. Science teacher Brad Beck shows how much he likes having his picture taken. English and journalism teacher Julie George gives instructions on Picture Day.

Employees keep school open Where were you when Mr. Thiel- sen was looking for students to help carry in commodities? Were you in class or just trying to stay hidden? There are many people that keep the school running without ever going to class. Among these were the bus drivers who made sure students got to and from the school and also transported them to basketball games, music con- tests and other extra-curricular activities. The cooks spent every morning preparing meals to feed the multi- tude of hungry students so that they can make it through the day. The janitors and student janitors were in charge of cleaning the rooms, making sure the heaters worked and doing all the odd jobs needed to keep the school open. Preparing the meals are school cooks Olga Bender, Marlene Kessler, Delores Bain, Bonnie Gill and Maggie Bendewald. Driving the buses each day are Pat Schaffner, Gerald Geffre, Frank Geffre, Don Guthmiller, Gwen Wolf and Willis Kiesz. Custodians John Bendewald and John Thielsen keep the school from falling apart. Helping clean the school each day are stu- dent janitors Jim Morrison and Doug Yost. 28 Staff Activih Academics Sophomores experience speech class jitters Where were you when the sopho- mores learned how hard it is to face their classmates? Sophomores spent their time hid- ing behind the podium during the second semester of English II. They also had to give demonstra- tion speeches and interviews, dur- ing which the podium was taken from them. Seated at the back of the room during these speeches was English teacher Julie George, who completed her tenth year at LHS. Sophomores were intro- duced to literature during the first semester of English. Juniors read American literature during their first semester and brushed up on their grammar and composition in the second semes- ter. They also spent much of their time trying to give Mrs. George a nervous breakdown. Seniors read British literature, reviewed their grammar and composition and worked on research papers. The freshmen, under the direction of first year teacher Jeanette Croft, learned basic English life skills. They also read the play “Romeo and Juliet” and the novel “West Side Story,” Mr. Bob Schumacher, who com- pleted his second year back at LHS, taught world history to the sophomores, U.S. history to the juniors and government consumer ed. to the seniors. 30 Academics History teacher Bob Schumacher lectures to the Junior Class.

Fetal pigs subject of lab Where were you when the sopho- mores made that first slice into their fetal pig? Sophomores spent part of the second semester of bi- logy in the lab dissecting every- thing from worms to starfish to fetal pigs. Keeping an eye on them to make sure they didn’t cut off their fingers was Mr. Brad Beck, who completed his seventh year at LHS. Freshmen learned the basics in physical science. Juniors studied plants, micro-organisms and the human body in advanced biology. Three juniors and three seniors fearfully entered the world of physics to learn all they could about forces, vectors, properties of energy and Newton’s laws. Second year math teacher Clark study Reider showed the freshmen what the value of x was in algebra. The sophomores learned how to do “proofs” in geometry, and the ju- niors tried to understand how a number can be “imaginary” in Al- gebra II. The seniors studied a va- riety of types of math in advanced math. Academics 33 Left: Senior Deon Vilhauer makes sure his boards are secure for the garage.

Shop seniors, under the direction of Mr. John Daly, spent much of the year on individualized pro- jects, designing their dream houses and building a garage. Ju- niors put together engines and learned the correct way to weld metals. Sophomores spent time on basic drafting and woodworking. nomics classes were taught to use sewing machines and a needle and thread. They learned about proper nutrition, then practiced their cooking skills in the kitchens. Art students learned the elements and principles of design, then used these principles on their modern art paintings, drawings and glass- etchings. They also improved their handwriting with calligra- phy lessons. Mrs. Alverde Daniel’s home eco Art teacher Alverde Daniel watches over Ron Schock while he finishes his color chart.

Driver’s education students Matthew Ket- terling and Brian Grabowska decide that it’s about time for the school to purchase a new car. Naasz adds driver's ed to school's curriculum Where were you when driver’s education students took the car out for the first time? Fifteen freshmen, sophomores and juniors enrolled in driver’s ed, which was offered to LHS stu- dents for the first time in three years. The students, under the di- rection of Clyde Naasz, learned about the parts of the car and watched films on the correct driv- ing procedure. They then hit the streets for six hours of driving time, practicing techniques such as “off the road recovery.” Naasz also taught several comput- er classes. Students studied BA- SIC programming, word process- ing, data base and different com- puter languages. Mrs. Doris Hepperle taught busi- ness math, accounting, keyboard- ing, Typing I and office proce- dures. Business math students solved a variety of business and personal math applications. Accounting concepts, principles and practices were introduced to the juniors and seniors in accounting. Junior high students were intro- duced to the keyboard, while freshmen learned to format busi- ness and personal documents in Typing I. The office procedures course provided students with in- formation and activities that will prepare them for office positions, including learning how to use var- ious office machines. Academics 37 Weight Club members include: Marvin Bonnet, Doug Yost, Jeff Berreth, George Thielsen, Stewart Bieber, Jim Schauer, Weisser, Tom Kempf, Brett Hoffman, Pat Russell Schaffner and Donald Bonnet. Senior Jim Schauer works out on the lat machine. Lifting helps build strength Where were you when Jeff Ber- reth, Stewart Bieber, George Weisser and Russell Schaffner made it into the weightlifting Gold Club? Eleven students were involved in Mr. John Daly’s strength training program. Students in the program lifted weights for a variety of reasons. Some wanted only to keep in shape or become stronger, while others were trying to get ready for football. Juniors George Weisser and Marvin Bon- net help Stewart Bieber prepare to lift on the bench press. Senior Jeff Berreth lifted weights because it gave him goals to reach, while classmate Russell Schaffner lifted to improve himself and keep in shape. Students lifted weights after school every day except Wednes- day. 38 Weight Club Stewart Bieber hits the ball over the net towards Tom Kempf. Stewart Bieber, Jeff Berreth and Belinda Schell wait for a chance to hit the volley- ball. Jim Schauer returns a serve during volley- ball while Stewart Bieber looks on. PE gives exercise, relaxation Where were you when sophomore Brian Walz ran into the stage dur- ing physical education class? According to senior Jeff Berreth, Walz’s accident was the funniest event that happened during Mr. Bob Schumacher’s fourth hour PE class. Sixteen students were involved in the physical education program. Most enrolled in PE to keep in shape, although Belinda Schell said that she took PE to help break the monotny of her day. Some of the activities covered in PE were volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, soccer and warball. Jeff Berreth found volleyball a fun way to exercise and enjoyed hockey because it gave him a chance to let off steam.

The 1987 edition of “LHS Live” earned a First Class (Excellent) rating. Judges rate the newspapers and annuals from around the state on a point system to determine whether the publication receives a third, second, first or All-State rating. The Top of Class Award is given to the one annual and one newspaper with the highest point total in the state. Ten students enrolled in journal- ism for the 87-88 year. Most of the students took journalism so that they could fill up their day be- cause there was nothing else to take. But once in the class they found lots of things to like about it. “There’s different things to do and I’m not always sitting in a desk doing some kind of paper- work,” says Diane Yost. Senior Kris Erdmann likes the class be- cause it gives her “a feeling of sat- isfaction and I’m doing something useful.” Janet Zulk, on the other hand, likes it because “there aren’t too many tests.” “The only thing I dislike about journalism is writing a story and not knowing where to begin,” says LeAnn Kessler. “I hate dead lines,” adds Yost. “I like the chal lenge of journalism, but I don’t like having to rush to get things done right before the deadline,” quotes Pam Jasmer. 40 Journalism Janet Zulk, Kris Erdmann, Diane Yost, on their first pages of the 1988 “Bucca- LeAnn Kessler and Marsha Maroney work neer.

At the South Dakota Spring Con- vention in Sioux Falls sophomore Paula Albrecht was elected the new state vice-president, and ju- nior Rhonda Reis was chosen as the new historian.

Owens- Nausler spoke to the delegates about handling stress and the im- portance of maintaining a positive attitude and believing in them- selves. The FBLAers participated in var- ious activities throughout the year. Some activities were the an- nual B-Craft sale, which lasted for six weeks. The chapter also sold rolls on Wednesdays and spon- sored a bake sale, an ice cream so- cial and a carnation sale. Fun ac- tivities included a Christmas par- ty, a fun night and, of course, the annual Spring Conference. Senior LeAnn Kessler’s highlight of the year was “getting second place in Parliamentary Procedure Demonstration at the State Con- ference.” Classmate Marsha Mar- oney said that two male FBLA members trying to putt their golf ball out of the children’s swim- ming pool was the funniest thing that happened during the year for her.

Band members perform at concerts, parades Where were you first hour every morning when LHS band members assembled, tuned and practiced their instruments in preparation for their next performance? The 44 member band played many roles throughout the year. The Marching Band tried to keep in step as they performed for Homecoming and Gypsy Day parades. The Pep Band played many familiar tunes during home ballgames and at Ron- calli for the girls’ basketball district tournament. The Concert Band donned uniforms for Christmas and spring concerts and less formal attire for a pops con- cert and local Memorial Day pro- gram. A smaller 20 member Stage Band also performed at the Pops Concert. Director Mick Guffey felt that the band was pretty well balanced, al- though they lacked clarinets. “We had quite a few good readers, which is always an asset,” said Guffey. “Overall the group came together quite well.” 44 Music Taking a break from the seriousness of having their picture taken are band mem- bers: First Row: Jan Schaffer, Annette Geffre, Ann Kolb, Lori Krein, Karen Bell, Brenda Hatlewick, Jodi Schauer and Pam Jasmer.

Eight instrumental soloists and en- sembles received superior ratings at the Region IV Music Contest in Ab- erdeen. Instrumental soloists earning supe- riors included Eric Heiser, drums; Luanna Hoffman, French horn; Pam Jasmer, oboe; Mary Kallas, trumpet; and Jim Morrison, tuba. Instrumental ensembles earning su- perior ratings were a woodwind duet, French horn trio and brass quintet. Director Mick Guffey said that con- test went about as he expected, with “some surprises and some disap- pointments.” Overall, however, Guf- fey was pleased with the results. Eighteen LHS students traveled to Aberdeen to audition for All-State Band. Auditions included sight- reading, playing a prepared solo and scales and writing a test on terms. Two band members were selected to All-State. Juniors Pam Jasmer, oboe; and Jim Morrison, tuba; jour- neyed to Watertown March 24-26 to play in the band. It was the second year at A11 -State for both musicians. Morrison played first chair in the tuba section.

Chorus receives ovation Where were you when the Mixed Chorus received a standing ovation for their performance of the Christ- mas musical “Frosty Follies”? The 41 member chorus, under the direction of Mr. Jim Ochsner, prac- ticed many school nights and week- ends to put together the musical. “Frosty Follies” featured such char- acters as Santa Claus, Suzy Snow- flake and Frosty the Snowman. Ochsner felt that the chorus’ main strength was the 15 seniors in the group. “The maturity of those voices adds a lot of depth to the whole group,” explained Ochsner. Another strength lay in the chorus’ accompanists. “We are very fortu- nate to have excellent accompanists. They deserve a lot of credit. With- out them things would be a lot dif- ferent,” said Ochsner. Accompany- ing the chorus were pianists Barb Maule, Luanna Hoffman, Renee Rath and Tina Schumacher; drum- mer Eric Heiser and guitarist Deon Vilhauer. Ochsner felt that the main weakness of the chorus was their attitude. He sensed that members wanted to per- form without practicing and perfect- ing the music. “Nothing is easy,” said Ochsner. “In music, if you don’t practice, you won’t improve — if you don’t improve, you won’t enjoy it.” One of the things that some of the chorus members practiced for dur- ing the year was Honor’s Choir audi- tions. Jason Fauth and Jim Morri- son represented LHS at Honor’s Choir held during the summer of ’87 at the SD School of Mines. Accompanying the chorus throughout the Schumacher, Renee Rath, Barb Maule and year were Eric Heiser, Deon Vilhauer, Tina � Luanna Hoffman.

The 24 members of the Swing Choir were dressed in blue Leoia Pirate sweaters and white pants when they gave their performances. Through- out the year the choir planned and prepared for a trip to the Spearfish Jazz Festival, which was held April 12. Four chorus members traveled to Rapid City to participate in the 34th annual South Dakota All-State Cho- rus and Orchestra. Annette Geffre, soprano; Janet Zulk, alto; Jim Mor- rison, tenor; and Jason Fauth, bass, practiced with the chorus for a weekend before the group presented a grand concert November 7. Thirteen vocal soloists and groups received superior ratings at the Re- gion IV Music Contest held Febru- ary 10 at Northern State College in Aberdeen. Soloists earning superiors included Mary Kallas and Rhonda Reis, mezzo-soprano; Brett Hoffman, Philip Kallas and Jim Morrison, baritone; and Jason Fauth and Kyle Steckler, bass. Vocal groups earning superiors in- cluded Girls’ Ensemble I and II, Boys' Ensemble I, Mixed Ensemble I and II, and Large Vocal Group. Chorus director Jim Ochsner was pleased with the contest results. “As with any contest, those who pre- pared well got the better ratings,” commented Ochsner. “I was more than satisfied with the students and their efforts.” Music 51 Sports Tight-end Neil Geffre escapes a Comet de- fender enroute to another Pirate touch- down.

Pirates make playoff quarterfinals I tike the aggressiveness and the challenge of the game. ” Kyle Steckler Where were you when the Pirate football team advanced to the playoffs for the first time ever? The team ended the year with a winning 6-4 record. Leola made it to the quarterfinal round of the playoffs by defeating Doland-Conde 12-8 October 9 at home. They then traveled to Hitchcock, where their hopes for an appearance at the Dome were crushed by a 20-6 loss to the Hitchcock-Tulare Patriots. Coach Clyde Naasz felt that over- all the Piates had a good season. Naasz believed, however, that the fact that Leola was one of the only area schools that was not co-oping was a disadvantage when there was an injury to a key player. In- jured players were harder to re- place because of the smaller num- bers, said Naasz. During the season the Pirates broke several school records. Sen- ior Kyle Steckler broke his own record in career pass interceptions with a new total of 14. Senior Neil Geffre broke all pass reception re- cords. He rewrote the record for most passes caught in a game with seven against Langford. He also set the record for most receptions in a season with 37. Geffre also caught 58 passes to set the record for career receptions and twice tied the record of two touchdown receptions in a game. Junior George Weisser broke the single game rushing record with 149 yards against Cresbard. Weisser, senior Jeff Berreth and Geffre compiled enough points to make it into the Defensive Cen- tury Club. Points were awarded for tackles made or assisted in, fumble recoveries and intercep- tions.

Lady Pirates capture consolation trophy It's fun to be inside of all those girls. They shove you and you can shove them back. ” Kristi Erdmann Where were you when the Lady Pirates defeated Eureka to cap- ture the consolation trophy in the Yellowstone Conference Tourna- ment? Overtime play was a big factor in the girls’ first conference tourna- ment. All three games contained at least one overtime period. The Bowdle Bobcats slipped past the Pirates with a 54-51 win in double overtime in the first round of play. The Pirates came back, however, the next night to defeat Hoven 46-42 in overtime. Injuries were a big problem for the Lady Pirates. Six or more varsity players spent time on the bench with shin splints. Senior Diane Yost had problems with her back and junior Renee Rath suffered from two concussions during the season. Coaches spent much time before games taping ankles and shins. Coach Bob Schumacher felt that the girls played well during the season. Some of the team’s strong points, according to Schumacher, were that they ran the fast break well and rebounded well for their lack of height. Pirates were led in scoring throughout the year by senior standout Janet Zulk. Schumacher was assisted during the season by Marie Steckelberg. The Lady Pirates ended the year with an 11-11 record.

The 1987 junior varsity ended their season with a 5-11 record. Coach Marie Steckelberg felt that the team’s strong points were the team’s hustle and rebounding. “In many of the games we lost, we outrebounded the opponent,” quoted Steckelberg.

Tarri Rott Where were you when the Leola Pirates defeated the third ranked Selby Lions? The Pirates ended the season with a record of 11-9. Coach Clyde Naasz felt that overall the team had a good year. The Pirates opened the season with a win but lost the next three games by a combined total of 16 points. But the close losses early in the season didn’t hurt the Pi- rates. Naasz felt that the losses taught the team some important lessons, and he felt they played smarter after them. The Pirates placed fourth in the Yellowstone Trail Conference Tournament. They defeated Her- reid in the opening round. Howev- er, the Pirates lost the next two games to Eureka and Cresbard. The Pirates were defeated in a close game against state-ranked Bowdle 52-60. Leola then came back and beat the Selby Lions, who were ranked third in the state at the time, 47-42. The Pirates lost in the opening round of District 2B play to Hosmer 55-57. Leola had defeated the Tigers earlier in the season. Throughout most of the season all five starters averaged in double figures. This was one of the team’s strong points as Naasz didn’t have to rely on just one person for scor- ing. The team graduated three starters — Kyle Steckler, Jason Fauth, and Neil Geffre.

The JVs finished the year with an 8-11 record. “We played good at times and not so good at times,” stated Coach Clark Reider of his squad’s up and down season. There were several reasons for the JV’s inconsistency. “We needed to get a quicker start instead of spot- ting a team 10-12 points and com- ing from behind,” commented Reider. Another problem for the JVs was lack of patience. Freshman Toby Steckler and junior Troy Weig felt that bad passes and trying to force things instead of taking time to set them up were also partially re- sponsible for the team’s mediocre season. Team leadership is important for a strong team. Junior Kenneth Kessler was the team’s leading scorer, averaging nine points per game. Sophomore Greg Hoffman was the team’s leading rebounder with seven per game, and junior Troy Weig led the team in assists, averaging three per game.

Squad goes through rebuilding year It takes a lot of guts to run a hard race in track. Janet Zulk Where were you when Laura Bunke threw the discus and hit a girl from Sunshine Bible Academy in the head and knocked her out? The varsity girls’ track squad, which consisted of only seven girls, not only faced the problem of low numbers but was also pla- gued with illness and injuries throughout the year. With the low number out, the number of team events the squad could participate in was limited, stated Coach Marie Steckelberg, who looked at 1988 as a rebuilding year. With only two returning letter- men, Janet Zulk and Polly Kin- delspire, inexperience was also a problem for the squad. But even with all the problems that the squad experienced, the year still held many highlights for its members. Scoring more points than the boys at the Gettysburg track meet was the overall high- light for the squad, but there were also individual highlights. Junior Polly Kindelspire stated that breaking the school record in 100 meter dash was definitely the highlight of her year. (Kindel- spire’s time of : 13:13 erased the old mark of :13:27 held by Julie Hoffman.) Other highlights were running on the indoor track at the Barnett Center at Northern State College, placing at meets, just meeting people and of course let- tering. Those receiving letters were Janet Zulk, Polly Kindelspire, Marsha Maroney, Annette Watts, Laurie Krein and JoLyn Hoffman. Zulk was also chosen as the squad’s most valuable member.

It's a challenge because it’s one of the toughest races to run. ” Kyle Steckler Where were you when weightman Marvin Bonnet ran the two-mile at Gettysburg? Although no one made it to state, the boys’ track team had a suc- cessful year. Senior Kyle Steckler felt that the season wasn’t bad, but “it could have been better.” The hurdler, who was named the team’s Most Valuable Athlete, missed qualifying for the state meet when he placed third in the 110 meter high hurdles. Steckler was one of several individuals and relay teams who missed qualifying because they placed third instead of first or second. The boys scored well in most of the meets they participated in, re- sulting in 13 of the 16 members lettering. Coach Bob Schumacher felt that the team’s strong points were strong senior leadership and un- derclassmen who like to run. The season provided valuable exper- ience for 13 underclassmen, who Schumacher hopes will form the nucleus for an even stronger squad next year. 62 Boys’ Track Freshman Pat Thielsen hands off to soph- omore Joel Guthmiller during the two- mile relay at the Groton Invitational.

The highlight for most of the foot- ball cheerleaders was being able to cheer at play-offs. Pam Jasmer’s highlight was “getting new uni- forms.” For the B boys’ basketball cheerleaders the highlight was cheering at the Yellowstone Trail Conference tournament. The cheerleaders enjoyed getting to go to all the games and cheering the teams on. Jasmer liked “the feeling that I’m helping my team.” Renee Rath liked football cheer- leading because “the squad always had fun together while trying to stay warm.” Above: Football cheerleaders Renee Rath and Pam Jasmer show their enthusiasm after a touchdown.

Jodi Schauer Where were you when boys’ bas- ketball student manager Lynn Kessler had to scurry around the gym at Frederick looking for the rosin that Assistant Coach Clark Reider had left behind? What would teams do without their statisticians and managers? These people were responsible for keeping records, getting supplies, bandaging players and doing any- thing else that needed done. This year’s football managers were Brenda Hatlewick and Jodi Schauer. Schauer said she enjoyed being a manager because “there’s always a new challenge around the corner,” while Hatlewick enjoyed it because “it gave me a chance to do something I had never done be- fore.” Sophomore Karen Bell became a girls’ basketball manager because she “wanted to be involved in bas- ketball but not play.” Boys’ bas- ketball manager Lynn Kessler said that she dislikes her job when the players are in a bad mood, be- cause they demand things instead of asking for them.

Maule was at first “surprised; then I was happy” when junior Student Council representative Polly Kin- delspire placed the crown on her head. “I wondered if he (Philip Kallas, Junior Class representive) was going to take it (the crown) back off and make a fool of me,” commented Berreth. Berreth said, “Kicking Cresbard’s butt 46-0 in three quarters of play- ing time” was the best part of Homecoming Week for him. The dance and the building of the float will be among the Homecoming memories for Maule. Other candidates for Homecoming royalty included Kristi Erdmann, Luanna Hoffman, LeAnn Kessler, Stewart Bieber, Brett Hoffman and Kyle Steckler.

The morning of October 9 LHS students watched anxiously while Queen Barbara Maule and King Jeff Berreth were crowned. Then they were entertained by Pee Wee Herman, played by Annette Geffre, heard Janet Zulk call a bunch of senior football players turkeys and saw Neil Geffre kiss Stewart Bieber in a football cheer- leaders skit. Music was provided by the mixed choir with a piano solo by exchange student Hartfrid 68 Homecoming Wolff. The theme for the Friday after- noon parade was “Space.” Follow- ing the shortened football game, students traveled to the Legion Hall for a dance featuring Bob’s Traveling Disc Jockey Show. Other Homecoming Week activi- ties included dress up days, deae- ration of the halls and a high school volleyball tournament. Winners of the tournament were seniors Kristi Erdmann, Terrill Guthmiller, Eric Heiser, Brett Hoffman, Gerard Retzer and Ja- net Zulk.

Yost became the newest queen De- cember 5 in the Leola gymnasium. She went on to represent Leola in the 1988 South Dakota Snow Queen Contest in Aberdeen Janu- ary 7-9. While in Aberdeen Yost enjoyed the Queen’s Banquet and Ball. She also thought that her free time was one of the best parts of the weekend because “I got to meet a lot of people.” LeAnn Kessler was named Miss Congeniality. This honor was de- cided by a vote from all the senior girls. First runner-up for Snow Queen was Kristi Erdmann, with Bar- bara Maule second. Freshman Kristi Schaible was named Junior Snow Queen. She was followed by first runner-up Tina Schumacher. During the talent contest 0’s Guys (Jim Ochsner, John Fischer, Marty Geffre and Tom Rath) were named senior talent winners.

Seniors say good-bye to LHS Where were you when the Class of 1988 received their diplomas and said one last good-bye to LHS? Eight of the 23 seniors graduated with honors Sunday, May 29, in the high school gymnasium. Students graduating with honors included Luanna Hoffman, high- est honor; Diane Yost, very high honor; LeAnn Kessler, Barb Maule and Kris Erdmann, high honor; and Jason Fauth, Jack Heyd and Janet Zulk, honor. The commencement address was given by US Senator Tom Daschle. Daschle, who was born in Aberdeen, urged seniors to consid- er staying in South Dakota. Ac- cording to Daschle, South Dakota and the Upper Midwest will be the next economic frontier. He also told the seniors that educa- tion gave them the freedom to make choices and urged them to make sure their choices were intel- ligent ones. Principal Marvin Maule intro- duced the speaker and presented the graduating eighth grade class and seniors. Chairman of the Board of Education Marilyn Erd- mann awarded certificates and di- plomas. The invocation and benediction were given by the Reverend Gary Ternes. The Swing Choir, under the direction of Mr. Jim Ochsner, performed two vocal selections. The processional and recessional were played by junior Jodi Schauer. The class colors were blue and sil- ver, and the class flower was the yellow rose. The class motto was “To achieve all that is possible, we must attempt the impossible-To be as much as we can be, we must dream of being more.” 74 Graduation US Senator Tom Daschle gives advice to the Class of 1988 during the commence- ment address.

The sock hops highlighted Marci Grabowska’s and Keith Meidinger’s eighth grade year. Nolan Geffre thought having a “funny teacher” was the highlight. Donnie Zerr’s high- light was the fact that he was “getting good grades.” The eighth graders studied math, science and literature, taught by Mr. Richard Jasmer, and history, spelling, and English, taught by Mrs. Diann Aberle. They also studied home ec, shop, typing and health, which included CPR and re- creational sports, each for one nine weeks. Health was the fa- vorite block class among most of the eighth graders. Mindy Ketterling summed it up by stating she liked health best “because we learned how to do CPR and played volleyball, pingpong and tennis.” The eighth graders felt that junior high could be improved if they were allowed to go to high school dances and ride on pep buses. Jan Schaffer also thought it would be an im- Nathan Kappes learns what is involved in disc jockeying in his shop class. provement to “let the ninth grad- ers come to the sock hops.” Gra- bowska suggested “making all bor- ing classes more fun by having projects that have to do with the subject.” Are the eighth graders scared about entering high school?

For spelling they made limited vo- cabulary reading books for the first grade. They wrote to pen pals in Pa- pau. New Guinea, for English class. For reading class, the seventh grad- ers put on a play entitled “The Pus- sycat and the Expert Plumber Who Was a Man.” Eighth grade teacher Mr. Richard Jasmer also taught the seventh graders math and science. The seventh graders also studied shop, typing, home economics and health, each for one nine weeks. What is the main difference between elementary school and junior high for the seventh graders? Leah Rath commented that jr. high has a lot more homework and harder work, while Shane Moser thought the big- gest difference was having at least three different teachers instead of one in elementary. “The highlight of my year was the time when all of us girls went to the tournaments and to a movie, and afterwards we went to Nichole Erd- mann’s party,” commented Renee Fink. Amy Bieber thought that “winning four out of five girls’junior high basketball games” was her highlight.

Youngsters experience competition Where were you when the seventh graders were com- peting in organized sports for the first time? The boys’ teams enjoyed only limited success during the year. The junior high football team ended with a record of 0-4, while the bas- ketball team compiled a re- cord of only 2-11. Despite their losses the boys enjoyed participating in sports. Sev- enth grader Sean January commented that he enjoyed football because he likes “hitting people.” Coach Clark Reider felt that the reason for the many losses was the low numbers out for sports and expressed the hope that more boys would be out next year. The junior high girls also competed in basketball. They ended their season with a 4 - 0 record. Jolyn Hoffman went out for bas- ketball because she enjoyed going to different towns and not having to worry about the high schoolers. Both boys and girls also competed in several track meets in the spring. The girls were coached by Marie Steckelberg.

The fifth graders got their first taste of organized band. The fifth graders disliked practicing for lessons most but felt they had to do it in order to advance to B and then A Band. The B and C Bands were also involved in the annual elementary music con- test held in Selby. The fifth and sixth graders also were in chorus. The fifth graders watched the musical “Oklahoma,” learned the names of notes and worked on two-part music. The sixth graders worked on pop music and studied the history of music since 1900. The two classes combined and per- formed a Christmas play “A Cause for Mrs. Claus.” The seventh and eighth grade girls and boys met separately once a week for chorus and combined on Thurs- day for mixed chorus. The mixed chorus sang at concerts throughout the year. Darren Schumacher, Jon Steckler and Tim Hoffman work on their drums during B Band.

Where were you when the sixth grade attended their first Leola City Council meeting? The class attended the City Council meeting as part of their citizenship study. They also took turns lowering and folding the flag each day after school. The sixth graders also had a guest reader each afternoon reading a chapter from the book “Where the Red Fern Grows.” The sixth graders’ favorite class was gym. During the course of the year both the boys and girls got to play in the “Y” tournaments in Ab- erdeen. The highlight of Kristi Hoffman’s year was scoring 15 points against Roncalli in the girls’ tourney. Mike Wildermuth also enjoyed basketball. The high- light of his year was the fifth and sixth grade games that were played at halftime of the Leola- Bristol boys’ varsity game. The class is looking forward to en- tering junior high, but they admit that they will miss their teacher and being able to go out for recess each day.

Fifth graders learn about drugs, alcohol Where were you when Mrs. Ja- nice Jasmer’s fifth graders were studying drugs, alcohol and smoking in science class? In social studies they studied the 50 states. With each section the students made a special folder about one of the states and wrote and gave oral reports on it. In English the class wrote to pen pals in Gibbsboro, N.J. The fifth graders “adopted” the kindergarten class this year. Each month they did a special activity with their adopted sis- ters and brothers. The highlight of the year for Leon Heyd was getting to play the computer and watch a lot of films and VCR tapes. Tammy Lilly says that she is going to miss the computer, her teacher and working with the kinder- garteners next year when she moves on to sixth grade. Chris Daly studies his spelling words be- fore the weekly test. Fifth Grade 85 86 Students create posters Where were you when the fourth graders were design- ing their poppy posters? Mrs. Susan Ackerson’s fourth grade entered not only the American Legion Auxiliary’s poppy poster contest, but poster contests sponsored by the Cowbelles and the National Wildlife Federation as well. The class also took a field trip to the Dakota Prairie Museum in Aberdeen and re- searched and reported on a variety of topics. What do you like best about fourth grade? For Stacy Hinz, “the best part of being in fourth grade was my teacher, gym, recess and mu- sic.” Holly Rath enjoyed “correcting papers for Mrs. Ackerson.” Most of the fourth graders say that they would like to be teachers when they grow up. Stacy Hinz takes time out to sharpen her pencil. Above: Members of the fourth grade class are: First How: Mrs. Susan Ackerson, Jus- tin Kappes, Troy Tschappat, Danae Mer- kel and Laura Kempf.

W'eron and Meidinger reigned over Mrs. Betty Maule’s third grade Val- entine party, along with Garret Kin- delspire and Jennifer Fink, Prince and Princess of Hearts. In social studies, the third graders studied Hawaii, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Alaska and Norway. As a spe- cial treat, they got to taste authentic foods from each place as they stud- ied it. Along with social studies, the class studied reading, math, English, spelling, science, art, music and gym. Math was their overall favorite subject, however. Rachel Breitag said that she would like to be a teacher when she grows up, while Gabe Outtrim plans to be- come a football player. Jessica Rath would like to be a nurse.

Besides performing experi- ments, the seventh and eighth graders wrote and illustrated stories for the little ones. The first graders watched the science fiction movie “Dragons, Wagons and Wax.” They also enjoyed studying animals of all kinds. Teacher Betty Hemen enjoyed teaching her many students math, penmanship, phonics, reading, science and other classes. They worked hard on their basic texts and then prac- ticed these skills by reading. “I don’t mind working with so many students because I have such an able aide, Eileen Goe- bel, and help from kindergarten teacher Beth Norris,” said He- men.

Tots begin graduation journey Where were you when the 13 kindergarteners began their journey through school to their graduation in the 21st century? Highlights for the Class of 2000 were “munchie par- ties,” especially the Christ- mas party, cleaning desks with shaving cream and, of course, kindergarten gradu- ation. During the year, Miss Beth Norris’ class began their journey by learning the al- phabet, the numbers up to 20 and basics in math and read- ing. Amy Jenner inspects Michael Fuehrer’s desk to make sure it is clean.
