THE STAIRWAY TO CLIMB ... MILBANK HIGH SCHOOL Milbank High School Volume VII This High School Annual is Dedicated to the Faculty and Patrons of Milbank High School 1950-1951 THE BULL ft DOG VOLUME VII, NUMBER I THE SENIOR CLASS, HISTORY AND PROPHECY ALUMNI OF '51 VISIT CLASSMATES IN MANY LANDS CLASS OF '51 COMPLETES SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL CAREER It was a wonderful day in September, 1939, when quite a number of innocent little dears went toddl- ing off to their first day of school. Among the tears and noise, the teacher managed to teach them to spell, to print, and to keep their mouths shut. The first year was, of course, the most exciting. In the second grade they renewed old friendships and some of the students participated in a music recital and Christmas play. The fourth, fifth, and sixth grades brought with them music recitals, declamation contests, and the never forgetable operettas. By the time they reached the seventh and eighth grades the seniors of ’51 were well-mannered citizens, most of them belonging to the scouts and the Y.C.L. It was the ruling hand of Mr. Groeneveld that guided them through their junior high days. 1947 brought a new dawning to some 90 students as they set out upon their high school career. They were initiated October 1. All over town you could hear, I’m a little freshman flower, growing greener by the hour. I’m as green as green can be. ’Cause no one cultivated me,” being recited by the green freshies” kneeling in humbleness before their mighty seniors.” Before the year was up the class was well represented in extra-curricular activities such as football, basketball, music and declam. They chose as their cheerleaders, Pat DeFea, Helen Cannedy, Joanne Nord, and Eileen Van Veen. Progressing upward into senior high activities, the sophomore year brought many new and exciting things. Classes were held in the auditorium and court house. Tim Garvey and Jack Flanery were on the first ten in basketball. Joanne Nord and Eloise Bohn were two of the four senior high cheerleaders. The class also showed outstanding participation in music, declam, and sports. Jack Flanery, Tim Gar- (Continued on Page 4) Farrell, Konshak Win Tour; See World And Former Classmates Ye merry authors won Rudy Nef’s cheese-eating contest and a trip around the world. Duane Ander- son, now a full-fledged telegrapher, will transmit all our encounters. Ist dispatch. With Charles Bury at the wheel of our Trans-World flier and Kathleen Hughes as our stewardess, we left for London via New York to see Wesley McCrea and Puffy Adams, proprietors of a ladies’ dress shop there—but first we stopped off at Dublin, Ireland to see Eunice Anderson who is on a buying trip for Mittelstaedts’. After a short chat with Wes and Puffy, we left for France to see Pat DeFea, a model at the Paris Lafayette and Audrey Troelson, a professional hair stylist. The girls took us on a tour of the city and we were surprised to see Earl Christians who is studying art there. We also had a chat with Jeanette Peterson and Eloise Mueller who have been training to swim the English Channel. In Germany Delaine Nord, a chef at a high-class restaurant, fixed us a delicious meal before we left for Czechoslavakia to sec the Reverend Monahan who has a mission there. We couldn’t stay too long with him as we had to hurry down to Cairo, Egypt in time to sec Burges’ twin boys christened Philip and Timothy by their proud father, the Reverend David Arthur Gugin. Belgian Congo, here we come. What a riot! In the midst of a mass of monkeys we saw Marvin Knock teaching them to twirl their tails. From there we swung around by Moscow to see Dave Dodds, per- sonal assistant to Joe Stalin. Stalin gave Dodds time off to show us around (probably to see if he could extract any information about home from us; he’s such a ladies’ man.) Well anyway, we discovered Beverly Thiele trying to break down the iron curtain —hopeless case. We stopped at Iran on our way to China, to see Arlin Kruger who inherited some oil wells from his grandfather. Incidentally Phil Strandvold owns and operates a wig factory there. We met Jim Haglc in Switzerland. He teaches skiing and swimming to tourists. (Continued on Page 4) Page 4 The Bulldog PROPHECY (Continued from Page 3) Moser, Harrison, and Karges went to get the latest dope on how to make rice patties for the FHA but they fell in love with three little chinks and didn’t bother to come back. Betty Loehr and Wylah Kruger helped Frank Costello escape to Japan and arc helping him set up a gambling ring there. Duane Reiners and Mary Weber are living on a llama farm in Australia. First person we met in Hawaii was Bob Schmidt, commander of the naval base there. He told us to be sure to see Colene Schmitt and Rosalie Engelson, hula hula dancers, in our hotel. Floyd Bohn was playing the guitar. In Mexico wc saw Mugs Tillman walking by her husband, Ronnie Koepke who was riding a donkey, while their eight children were swimming in the Rio Grande. Derrick made herself quite a haul panning gold in South America. She threw a big party. Aden was Master of Ceremonies and his ventriloquism sounded just like Ginny Wendland, who by the way, set up business on the briny deep with her better half, teaching parrots how to talk. Special dispatch. Jim Erickson just homesteaded a fine piece of land for himself and christened it Greenland. You should see the fine mink coat Dick Angerhofer’s wife, Arlys Rislov, wears that he trap- ped for her there. Shirley Eastman and Luvcrne Chapman have set up a partnership catching salmon. It was nice running into Joanne Nord, a mission- ary up there. Joan Folk has a large Canadian man- sion. Eddie Glasier is her cook. Lyle McCulloch is an English Lit Professor back in the good old USA. He reports a very informal class which the students teach. We stopped by a famous old California mission and a bent old man was ringing the bell. Imagine ! Kcnnv Gulck a janitor. In Texas, Doll caught a glimpse of Mel Croymans when she looked out the hotel window. He washes them for a living. We were treated to a Bonn Bonn cold wave in a very elite beauty shop run by the twins. Gerry Mongold was giving manicures. In Chicago Doll called a doctor. Russell Lowe ap- peared. He convinced Janice Lowe not to change her name and they’re celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary this week. Our Minneapolis taxi driver turned out to be La- Vcrna Scharf. As she was taking us to the Alvin to sec the show with Betty Westphal, Shirley Bohn, and Myra Kuper who are in the chorus, we ran into Eloise Bohn’s Buick. It wasn’t a serious accident, however. Shirley Dittes is in charge of Information aC the railroad station and Marlys Busk was pinch-hitting as a railroad conductor because all the men are off HISTORY (Continued from Page 3) vey, Ken Gulck, Ed Glasier, and Jr. Monahan were football lettermen. The climax of the junior year was the Junior-Sen- ior prom and banquet. They chose A flower garden in the rain” as their theme. Early in February an all school Winter Formal was held. Geraldine Mon- gold was elected Sweetheart of MHS. In November they presented a three-act comedy, Deacon Dubbs,” directed by Mr. Sly. The class was represented by Joanne Nord and Geraldine Mongold in the dis- trict declam contest. Jack Flanery, Lyle McCulloch, Rudy Nef, Tim Garvey, Ken Gulck, Phil Strand- void, Jr. Monahan, Mel Croymans, Ed Glasier, and Ron Harrison received letters in football. Tim Gar- vey, Rudy Nef, Jack Flanery, and Ron Harrison were on the first five in basketball. Tim Garvey, Mel Croymans, and Phil Strandvold were outstand- ing in track. Besides all this, they were proud to be the first junior class in the new school building. Tim Garvey, Rudy Nef, Ron Harrison, Joanne Burges, and Joanne Nord were the Boys’ and Girls’ State representatives. At last they reached that long awaited year of their lives—when they became the mighty seniors of MHS. The biggest event was homecoming. King Jack Flanery and Queen Kathleen Hughes reigned over a very successful Bow Wow Day. The senior class was outstanding in sports, declam, and music. Charles Bury, baritone horn soloist, won a superior in the regional contest and was selected for the State Rotary Contest. Bob Schmidt, tuba soloist, won a superior also and was chosen alternate. The Tin Hero,” a roll-’cm-in-the-aisle three-act comedy was presented on April 20 under the direction of Elmer Moe. Joanne Burges was chosen DAR candidate from the senior class and also received second in the state DAR contest. They closed the year’s activities with a picnic in Watertown. They truly have lived up to their motto Today We Follow, Tomorrow We Lead.” at war. On the way home I read Shirley Reiners’ latest novel. Just made it home in time for the double wedding of Janice W. and Eileen. We saw Jack Flanery at the wedding dance in Twin Brooks. He’s garbage collector there. Tim Garvey helps him once in a while, but mostly he just sits. Guess those two are confirmed bachelors. Well thanks for the trip, Rudy! It’s been fun see- ing everyone again.

Perhaps this class will be remem- bered most for its consistency in taking over the honor roll of distinc- tion. Along with a high percentage of honor students, it has not failed to provide its share of talent for the ex- tra-curricular activities of our school. Many were active in basketball, football, track, band, chorus, glee club, speech, press club, and various other functions. Yes, the seniors of '53 have a good start towards one of the most active classes in years. LARGE FRESHMAN CLASS IS PROMISING PROSPECT FOR '54 Tho class of '54 with a total enroll- ment of 83 promises to be one of the livliest in years. Their full participation in most school-sponsored events makes them truly a part of MHS. John Flittie was elected president of the class; David Judge, vice-presi- By inviting outsiders to attend the annual junior-senior prom, the class of '52 has made itself forever fam- ous. Aside from the fact that it is also one of the smallest classes in the history of MHS, the juniors are well known for their active participation in most high school events. Although the juniors are repre- sented in all athletics, they were this year especially active in basketball with Keith, Maynard and Neil spark- ing the team to several victories. Kathryn Johns was a cheerleader while Julanne Boekelheide and Neil Elliott were on the student council. Julanne and Neil were also home- coming attendants. dent; and James Gugin, secretary- Iroasuror. Tom Eleser represents the class on the student council.

Page 28 The Bulldog (LASSES AREN'T JUST A SIDELINE WITH US BY ANY VOCALISTS RATE EXCELLENT BAND TAKES SUPERIOR IN IN THE REGIONAL CONTEST BROOKINGS MUSIC CONTEST With its first male director in many years, the chorus began a type of vocal training that was to be differ- ent in many ways from chorus re- hearsals of years gone by. Mr. Kerr and his group of nearly 100 spent the first semester singing for fun, after which time the size of the chorus was cut down consid- erably and preparation for the con- test was begun. The chorus received a rating of excellent and the glee club a rating of good at the regional contest. Mr. Kerr also started a group call- ed madrigals who entertained at several of the school's social func- tions during the year. Majorettes Front row: M. K;llion, N. Nord. Back row: M. Nel, E.

Band members breathed a sigh of relief during 1951 for at last they “had the mortgage off their pants, and were operating in the black for the first time in several years. These funds were made available through the sponsoring of the annual band carnival. The band also sponsored a concert by the USD band when it came on tour this spring. Among its other accomplishments this music group received a superior rating at the Region III music con- test, and took its yearly trip to the State Fair in Huron. The band also marched at football games and played for all basketball games. It will enter a marching con- test in Watertown June 19. Sax Quartet C. Sp'oricg. J. Miller, M. Siewert; not picturod D.

AT THE SAME TIME WE PROFIT FROM SENIORS PRESENT CLASS PLAY TIN HERO TO LARGE CROWD Best comedy I've seen in a long time, was the comment frequently heard after the seniors gave their play which grossed over $300 on April 20. The plot centered around Joanne Burges, an adoring mother who in- sisted upon exaggerating and in- venting all sorts of things about her son Doualas. Bob Schmidt, as Doug- las and Eileen Van Veen, his sister Grace, had quite a time getting around their mother's fibbina. David Gugin as Bunny Wheeler. Grace’s fiance, had the habit of opening his mouth once too often and was always being reprimanded for it. Eloise Bohn as the charming French Claudette Bordoni. produced quite an effect with her French cos- tume and walk—thouah her beauty was less appreciated by Joanne Nord as Virginia Ferguson, Doug- las' jealous fiancee. Marlys Busk as the domineering Mrs. Baxter Warner, and Marvin Knock who played the oart of the meek little husband, Baxter Warner, both produced exceptional comedy. Addinq to the humor of the play were Kathleen Hughes, Shirlev Reiners, Geraldine Mongold, and James Hagle. The great success of the play is a compliment to Mr. Moe, the director, Arlys Rislov, prompter; Colene Schmitt, student director, and Floyd Bohn, stage manager. LET ME OUT OF HERE. SAYS JUNIOR PLAY CAST NOV. 17th A three-act comedy, Let Me Out of Here, was presented by the jun- ior class on November 17, with a profit of $214.49. The play centered around Bona Lynn and Eve Boyd, Joyce Lieffort and JoAnn Jurgens, who work to- gether as typists and share a little two-room apartment. Bona has a handsome brother, Garret Lynn that Eve would like to meet. Eve has a wealthy aunt, Julanne Boekelheide, who wants to marry Gifford Mor- ton. Eve wants to be independent and has led her aunt to believe that she is attending an exclusive girl's school when she is really earning a salary. But Aunt Angela and Gif- ford are coming to pay Eve a visit— and then the fun begins. Other cast members included: Jackie Miller as Bessie Rhodes, Rich- ard Berens as Garret Lynn, Donald Van Veen as Victor Ward, William Weber as Gifford Morton, and Wes- ley Bohn as Marshall Ward. Credit for the success of the play goes to Mr. Merrill Sly, who directed the play and to the student director, Patty Kosse. The Bulldog Page 37 THE FUN AND ENJOYMENT WE HAVE DOING THIS. D. Gugin. M.

THE BULL DOG VOLUME VII, NUMBER III HOMECOMING KING AND QUEEN, SPORTS HUGHES AND FLANERY REIGN OVER BOW WOW DAY Jack Flanery and Kathleen Hughes were elected Bow Wow Day King and Queen by the student body to reign over homecoming festivities for 1950. The King and Queen were crown- ed Thursday evening, October 19 before the annual pepfest at the athletic field. The parade of thirty floats was one of the nicest in years with the senior float taking first prize. Sec- ond place was taken by the Library club, and third place by the Pep club. Bill Brusse and his orchestra pro- vided the music for the dance while the Bulldog football team put stu- dents and alumni in a festive mood by trouncing the Sisseton Redmen 26-0 at the evening game.

Coach Dolan has his work cut out for him next year with thirteen men lost by graduation. Prospects are fairly good, however, but the team will be giving away a lot of weight, both in the line and backfield. First row: B. Weber, P. Strand void. M. Mitchell. K. Gulck. C. Monahan, E.

Among their accomnlishmcnts was the winning of the District I Conference race. They also took first place in an invitation al tournament held at Waubay.
