WWXYWHYUR L A 5 Ysmxxmrmm The 4O's began with the usual activities of band, chorus, orchestra, and operettas, but by 1944 these J A if if had been dropped . The World War ll years--years of anxiety and 'ff strife, had their effect upon education. Many extra- 1 V curricular prograrrs were discontinued . 1 ' s lt ln 1947, a Red and White day was held in con- L A L 1 E junction with the Junior Class Play and Carnival. 9 ..1l.5J:43?z2ibi5x 1 ff g brmfyrrxnmw This was the first record ofa Homecoming Day. The last nine years have followed the same trend in activities and curriculum. The School, especially the grade rooms, have increased in enrollment. The football team under the direction of Bob Demery in 1954 had the distinction of winning the Champion- ship of the Bad Lands Conference, and was awarded a trophy. A football sweetheart was elected that year by the boys on the squad. Joyce Petoske received the honor. The identity of the sweetheart was revealed as she arrived at the homecoming game in a float decorated with a huge red heart. Since then a homecoming day, usually held in October, became a part of MHS fr0Cl1l10I'1- The Student Council makes the arrangements and all the classes make on all-out effort to produce beautiful and symbolic floats. The businessmen are invited to enter a parade, led by the Queen and football boys, to start the day's activities. On the evening prior to homecoming, a pep rally is held in the playground below the school. A huge M is ignited and cheers and speeches are heard . Here, since 1955 the identit, of the queen has been revealed. The rally ends with a wiener roast and a snake dance proceding through main street. Publication of a newspaper, begun again in 1954, was the beginning of the mimeographed form now used. The annual continued to be published each year. The school is a mem er of the SDHSPA, and the editors and co-editors have attended the Brookings convention for the past several years . The Basketball team, with Coach Clay Bu pass, was second-place winner in the District tournament in 1957-'58 . r T K K ww-.tvs J' , , -f NU' Www., CLASS OF 1945: Howard Elrad, Elsa Muirhead, Calvin Schwalm, Merlene Root, Super LEFT TO RIGHT: Marvin Massey, Mary Hand, Buck Root, Reverend intendent Dahl, Dorothy Dale, Wally Russell, Rose Muckey, Julia Mathison, sponsor Walla, Ethel Spinsby, James Illian, Sanford Ellis, Joan Schanzenbach, Keith Elrod.
