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.
