They numbered 58 and chose as their officers Julanne Boekelheide, president; Jim Garvey, vice-presi- dent; and Wesley Bohn, secretary- treasurer. The members of the class promptly entered into all the activi- ties carried on in school. One of these included the choosing of fresh- men cheerleaders—Peggy Dougher- ty, Kathryn Johns, Janice Pauli, and Darlene Schmitt. Starting school in the sophomore year made the class feel like green freshmen again. The cause was the entering of the new school building. This year two boys, Maynard Vog- elgesang and Keith Anderson, were recognized in their efforts in athle- tics by receiving letters. Nine stu- dents were members of the band with three of these participating in solo and ensemble work—Julanne Boekelheide, Jackie Miller and May- nard Vogelgesang. The chorus and qlee club claimed ten of the class. Despite the difficulties encountered, the sophomores proceeded on to their junior year. That year was off to a good be- ginning with the presentation of the class play, Let Me Out of Here, a the junior and senior years. Receiv- ing membership in the M Club were Roy Martell and Bill Weber. Phoebe Adler represented the class on the debate squad. The Boys' and three-act comedy. Kathryn Johns was chosen a cheerleader for both Girls' Staters chosen were Keith Anderson, Neil Elliott, John Judge, Julanne Boekelheide, and Jackie Miller. Five members were initiat- ed into the National Honor Society in the junior year and three in the senior year. The highlight of the 1950-51 school year was the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet with Down by the Rio Grande as the theme. Another rea- son that the prom stands out is the fact that this was the first year that outsiders were permitted to attend. By 1951 the class had dwindled to 42 and they began their senior year. The first big event was Homecoming when Julanne Boekelheide and Keith Anderson reigned as queen and king. Other major events were the class play, Inner Willy, student government day, and career day. For skip day the seniors journeyed to Minneapolis. This brings to a close the accomplishment of 12 rungs on the ladder of success, but we will go on, as our motto declares, Not to the top; still climbing.

Yeah, if you crack this thing up, the World War VIII Draft Board will get us yet , added Jim G. Cruising along about 90,000 miles p. h., Mark B. hollered out, Hey, who let the air out of our tires? And look, our compass points ’horizontal- up'. Because of this, we thought we had better stop at Mars and its Sup- er Garage where we were surpris- ed to find Willard Bock, the proprie- tor, and Darlene Schmitt, chief me- chanic, who repaired our compass and filled our tires with ammonia. Before leaving Mars, we thought it wise to partake of a wholesome, calorie-packed meal. Stopping a woman on the street whom we found to be Phyllis Wibbens, we asked where we could get such a meal. She recommended Phoebe's, the famous Hash House, where we or- dered the specialty of the establish- ment, meat loaf. During our meal, we noticed a poster advertising the Inter-Plane- tary Olympics in which Don Van Veen and Roy Martell were entered. Van was planning to break the rec- ord, 14'6 , in the high jump; Roy ex- pected to take the pole vault with a 43 ft. vault. Upon leaving Mars, we journeyed next to Pluto. Stepping out of the rocket, John I. exclaimed, Is it Fret- ta!! (cold), which reminded us of a ..............................Oh!.... There's Kathryn Johns, whom we found out was Snow Queen of Pluto. Hmm—. !!-?? By this time, most of us were feel- ing a bit space sick so we stopped at a nearby Health Bar, and upon entering, we saw a familiar face, Marlys (Hester) Fenner, the bartend- er. While drinking our concoction of Cod Liver Oil and Yoghurt, Dick Berens and Ardell Steffenson mos- eyed in and suddenly exclaimed, Whoops! Wrong place!! As we were enjoying our drinks, the floor show commenced with Whoopee Weber's band—and who was play- ing the drums? None other than that Rhythm Runt, Maynard V. On the spur of the moment, we de- cided to take off for Saturn with its 2-rings where we met Lucille Heil- man and Adeline Hofhenke. While on Saturn, we took stock of oursel- ves thus far and found that we need- ed gas, which we got at the Galaxy Gas Station, under the management of Donna B. and Kenny S. Also, we found we were in want of spiritual uplifting. Entering the Saturnian Church, we noticed a familiar pair —organist, Jackie M. and soloist, Poo ----(Ooops) Don. L„ the local butch- er. After we were enlightened in church, we left the planet of Saturn and pointed our course parallel to the gravitational deviation of the planet. Wes stepped her down with the intent of eating breakfast in Jupiter, when suddenly from out be- hind Halley's comet came the Ace of Space , Julanne B., sheriff extra- ordinary. After paying our 35 cupels for speeding at 100,000 m.p.h., we went at a more moderate rate of 90,000 m.p.h. Upon arriving at Jupiter, we took a sight-seeing tour through its fam- Page 11 SENIOR PROPHECY (Continued) ous jungles. We looked up and saw Bruce “Tarzan Hoeke swinging through the trees. We continued on to a clearing in the jungle and found Gloria Koepke fulfilling a lifelong ambition, auctioneering off Jim Pet- er's and Neil Elliott's hybrid meteor dust. And hereby, our excursion being completed, we journeyed back to our standby, “Harvey''. Blasting off from the planet, Jupi- ter, we next headed for Uranus. Just outside of Uranus, the bolts came off from our rear bumper. Our only choice was to stop at Audrey Storm's la-Bolt Factory on Uranus. While waiting for our bumper to be repaired, Audrey invited us into the factory cafeteria for the day's specialty of Lund- berger cheese. While we were devouring the specialty, four famil- iar persons arrived—two missionar- ies, Patty Kosse and Mildred Kohn, followed by insurance saleswomen, Gerry Trapp and Bethel Tuchscher- er. After chatting with our friends for approximately one-half hour, we were informed by Arlo Christians, the head mechanic, that our ship, “Harvey , was repaired. Just be- fore entering our ship, Beverly, “Flash” Fischer, news photographer of the Uranus Chronicle, took our picture. Once again, finding ourselves out in space and heading for the moon, we collided with an asteroid. (Jim, you must watch where you're driv- ing.) Seeing that there was a tele- phone booth at our convenience, we decided that enough time had elapsed for the war to be over, and so decided to call back to earth to make sure. Helen Conner, telephone operator, put the call through to the earth. On the receiving end at the Selective Service Board in Washing- ton, D. C., was Marjorie Gill, the head receptionist. She informed us that World War VIII was over and we told her that we would return home by the way of the moon. Af- ter depositing our nickel, for the call, we returned to Harvey , where we once again blasted off, this time for the moon and then home. Arriving at the Space Port at Lun- atic City, we were greeted by his honor, the mayor, Keith Anderson. The Lunatic City Symphonic Or- chestra directed by Maestro Vincent Robert Schell, Esq., welcomed us with the Sweethearts of Sigma Chi . With a vocal solo by. sopra- no Roger “Sam R. Our last stop on a tour of the city, provided by Mayor Anderson, was the Moonbeam Observatory where, not to our surprise, we found JoAnn J. and Eunice H. working busily on a scandal sheet, and where we also found Orian L. (seeing-eye dog for the scandal sheets) peering eagerly through a gigantic teles- cope. As a cloud blocks her view, we hear Orian exclaim, “Oh, 'Heller', (Roger, that is) and with that remark, we leave for home. Landing on earth, we found World War XIII in progress, but being call- ed for induction, they found us all to be 4-F.................Gee, all that running for nothing.............

The juniors maintained their outstanding record of participation in ex- tra-curricular activities and of high scholastic rating as again many of their number were found in band, chorus, glee club, FFA, FHA, speech activities, paper staff, football, basketball, track, intramurals, and on the student coun- cil. He Couldn't Marry Five, the class play, was a highlight of the year with the junior-senior prom a fitting climax. The prom was held on April 26 after weeks of anxious preparation; its theme was a Southern Planta- tion. It is with anticipation that the juniors look forward to their senior year hoping that their classmates will bear with them as they attempt to strength- en the traditional leadership, scholarship, honor, and co-operativeness in the halls of MHS.

First item of business last fall was to elect officers. Dale Foss sailed the ship of state, assisted by Sue Reeve, vice-president; Connie Remund, secretary-treasurer; and David Judge, student council representative. The sophs were well represented in athletics, band, vocal music, news- paper work, declam, and debate. Almost every student was active in some extra-curricular activity. Len Spanjers, Irv Kuske, and Darwin Zirbel letter- ed in football; and Max Gonzenbach in basketball. Thirteen sophs in track showed promise of good things to come. The pride of the sophomores, Zir- bel's Rutsons, warded off the BBB's to win the intramural basketball title. Musical ability began to show up as thirteen played in the band and thirty- five were in vocal music groups. Socially, the sophs were among the lead- ers in the new MHS sport, party promoting. 1.

The band, chorus, and glee clubs have felt their pres- ence; and they have taken an active part in vocal solo work and junior and senior high declam. The Pep, Pub, and M Clubs all have freshmen mem- bers, as have the FFA and FHA. Class officers elected at the beginning of the school year were: President: lames Farrell Vice-president: Joan Gill Secretary-treasurer: Duane Kockx Joan Gill and Larry Van Ray were chosen freshman attendants to rep- resent the class in the Homecoming Coronation, and Margaret Nef put in the freshman bit at Student Council meetings. The freshmen are proud of their first-year record and hope to continue to make their class one of which the school will be proud. Page 19 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Back row: B. Fischer, J.

The members of MHS who composed the staff, with the help of their ad- visor, Mr. Wiley, the Grant County Review, and anyone who would furnish material, published nine issues of the paper this year. Serving on the staff were: Editor-in-Chief—Julanne Boekelheide Associate Editor—Jackie Miller Page Editors—1, Rosemary Eisenmenger; 2, Dale Hagan; 3, John Flittie; and 4, Nadine Nord Columnists—Clarice Kloster, Geraldine Trapp, LaVerna Hansen Exchange Editor—Beverly Fischer All other persons pictured above are reporters. Seven students represented MHS at the South Dakota High School Press Association Meet in Brookings Saturday, October 20. The Press Club, an organization of the staff, officially became the Pub Club at the beginning of the year. Chosen as officers were: President, Clarice Kloster; vice-president, Margaret Nef; and secretary-treasurer, Eliza- beth Orth. Its most important project was the sponsorship of an all-school party.

LaVerna Hansen in oratory, Clarice Kloster in poetry, and David Judge in the humorous divi- sion won superior ratings. Dale Hag- an received an excellent rating in the dramatic division. LaVerna, Clarice, and David represented the school in the regional contest at Watertown on December 5 and ranked second, fourth, and fifth respectively. LaVerna and David rated excellent and Clarice received a rating of good. Left to right: Gail Anderson, Phoebe Adler, Rosemary Eisenmenger, Marjorie Reiners, Dale Hagan Resolved: that every American citizen should be subject to conscrip- tion for essential service in time of war.” This national high school debate topic was the subject for discussion and debate at tournaments entered by debaters throughout the season. Tournaments were held in Moorhead, Min- nesota, on December 7 and 8; Vermillion, January 11 and 12; Watertown, January 18 and 19; Mitchell, March 7 and 8; Madison, February 2; and the di- visional tournament at Watertown on March 17. The squad, consisting of Phoebe Jane Adler, Gail Anderson, David Judge, Dale Hagan, Marjorie Reiners, and Rosemary Eisenmenger, had a satisfying season debating against many of the largest schools in the state. Various other speech activities have been participated in by the stu- dents. These include original oratory and extemporaneous, impromptu, after-dinner, and radio speaking. Gwen Stemsrud won the local Voice of Democracy contest, and Rosemary Eisenmenger was high-ranking girl in the state American Legion Oratory contest held in Pierre. Page 27 F. F. A. Back row: C.

Members chose as their president Nadine Nord, vice-president Mark Buc- holz, and secretary-treasurer Clarice Kloster. The band began, as usual, with its trip to and appearance at South Da- kota State Fair at Huron Wednesday, September 5, under the direction of Mr. G. A. Redman. Its second big appearance was at homecoming coro- nation Thursday evening, October 11. On the evening of Wednesday, October 24, members journeyed to Wat- ertown and played prior to the opening session of the N. E. District Conven- tion of the South Dakota Education Association there. The following Satur- day, October 27, saw the band maching in the Hobo Day Parade in Brook- ings. To provide funds for improvements needed in the department, the band sponsored its annual carnival November 9. On the eighteenth and nineteenth of March, five members of MHS' band —Rosemary Eisenmenger, Virchella Thorkelson, Elroy Pettyjohn, lo Anne Monahan, and Gwendolyn Stemsrud—enjoyed the privilege of taking part in Page 30 MIXED CHORUS Back row: E.

April fourth's Region III State Music Contest was a true climax to the year's activities—the group winning a superior rating. Following this con- test, Mr. Redman retired from the band profession because of his health and moved from Milbank. Mrs. M. C. Anderson accepted the position for the re- mainder of the year and carried the band through the festival with Sisseton here Friday, May 9. The instrumental and vocal departments together presented several events during the year. The first of them was the Christmas Concert held Sunday evening, December 16. The second event at which they both ap- peared was the winter concert February 6, featuring soloists and ensembles, prior to the solo and ensemble contest in Watertown February 13. The con- test was very successful, the instrumentalists rating ten superiors, ten excel- lents, and two goods; and the vocalists eight superiors and one excellent. On Tuesday, April 1, the two groups presented the spring or pre-contest concert. The following Friday, April 4, both journeyed to Brookings to the Region III State Music Contest, where they received rewarding results. The mixed chorus, girls' glee club, and band received superior ratings and the boys' glee club an excellent. Both also participated in the annual Milbank-Sisse- ton Festival May 9. To conclude the year's work they took part in the graduation proceedings May 18 and 21. Page 31 Superior Soloists Saxophone Quintet N. Nord, L. Hansen, E. Pettyjohn. J. Gugin, M. Garvey, L. Kosse, M.

Eisenmenger, D. Karels, I. Raebel, M. Siewert Page 33 SENIOR CLASS PLAY 'The Inner Willy , a three-act comedy, was presented by the senior class on March 28. The plot centered about 16-year-old Willoughby Adams (Wesley Bohn), who was really a normal boy but a trifle sissified due to the manner in which his three old maid aunts—Louise (Bethel Tuchscherer), Hester (Marlys Fenner), and Olga (Eunice Heffernan)—had raised him. The reason for his becoming more independent was the appearance of his inner self, (John Judge), who kept everyone laughing throughout the play. Marybelle Turner (Patricia Kosse), Trudy Marshall (Geraldine Trapp), Janet Marshall (Adeline Hofhenke), and Carol Martin (Kathryn Johns) along with Stanley Clark (Richard Berens) and Mike (William Weber), completed the cast. Credit for the success of the play should also go to Mr. Elmer Moe, direc- tor; Julanne Boekelheide, student director; Patricia Kosse, prompter; and James Garvey, stage manager. Page 34 JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Ten members of the junior class displayed their dramatic ability in the presentation of the three-act comedy play, “He Couldn't Marry Five, on Fri- day, November 16, in the high school auditorium. You may be certain that the words really began to fly when a young man found himself hopelessly in love with five sisters who all felt they were in love with him. How such a young man, Donald Regan, the boss's son, played by Bob Splinter, was able to survive such an ordeal and end up with the right girl furnished the basis of the plot. Connie Barton, mother of the five daughters, was played by Marilyn Siewert. August Peterson was Ralph, the frustrated father of the girls. The five daughters were Elizabeth Orth, Nadine Nord, Clarice Kloster, LaVerna Hansen and Rosemary Eisenmenger. Other members of the cast were an old-maid aunt, Marjorie Reiners, and the grandmother, Gwen Stemsrud. Much of the credit for the success o f the play should be given to the direc- tor, Mr. Sly; the stage crew, headed by Dorothy Larson and Georgene Mos- ey; to the student director, Gail Anderson; and to the advertising committee, headed by Jo Anne Monahan.

Af- ter Madison and Ortonville took our measure, the Bulldogs shifted into high and walloped Clark. With each passing game the Bulldogs gained more confidence and still more experience, until they made Homecoming a success by defeating Redfield and winning the Conference title the follow- ing week with a decisive workman-like victory over Groton. Prospects for next year are excellent with sixteen returning lettermen. Milbank can be expected to have one of the fastest, if not the fastest, teams in the Confer- ence.

Yes, despite the fact that the South Dakota State Athletic Association was nice enough to ask Milbank to enter Class A competition this year, a good num- ber of games were lost by only a small margin, which is to the Bulldogs credit. Also, don't forget that B team. Most of them will be varsity next year and their record for the season was well above average, (winning the last ten games). With seven returning lettermen, prospects for next year are better. Basketball is a coming thing in Milbank.

Hoeke, J. Judge An athletic program for non varsity competition was again staged this year. Basketball, track, volley ball, and soft ball constituted the four fields of athletic endeavor. In basketball the sopho- mores surprised the rest of the field in winning the title. The track title was taken easily by the juniors, and the seniors acquired their first title of the campaign with victories over the sophomore and junior classes in volley ball. Soft ball, not having been staged as yet, offers excellent competi- tion between the senior, junior, and sophomore classes. The eventual winner, each having won in a sport before, will then have won the intramural trophy. Something new in the way of intramural basketball was experienced in Milbank High this year, an inter-class basketball tournament. This tournament, a benefit, was held for Ron Ruediger who at the beginning of the basketball season incurred a severe injury at the knee cap. This venture proved very successful not only in a financial way, but also in good competitive basketball. The juniors found their way into the finals via the route of an overwhelming victory over the freshmen, while the seniors had a harder time of it with the sophomores providing the competition. The championship was close, but due to the rebounding of Van Veen and Elliott, and the scoring of Van Veen, the seniors won. Bucholz and Berens as well as the entire senior bench contributed to a well deserved victory. Nothing definite of course, but rumor has it, that this event could possibly become an annual affair.
