Many years ago it was found, to Milbank's benefit, that this granite when quarried and polished is one of the most beautiful and useful granites in the world. This discovery eventually led to the establishment of several small quarrying enterprises—which have since developed into huge local quarrying industries employing ap- proximately 314 workers. Many of these employees are Milbank townspeople, whose families are dependent upon this layer of rock for their livelihood .... The products of these industries are constantly being shipped to all of the forty-eight states, where they are put to use in many and varied ways. Thus, by means of its earthly origin and the quarrying, polishing, and designing processes worked on this granite by the Milbank townspeople, it will forever carry the marks of our community to all parts of America .... Therefore we, the annual staff of 1957 have proudly prepared a Quarry theme for our 1956-57 Milbank High School annual. We ask now that you step with us into our quarry workshop and help us investigate our various quarrying processes . . . . 3 DEDICATION The Class of 1957 of Milbank High School is pleased to dedicate this volume of the BULLDOG KF.NNEL to Floyd M. Koch, member of the Board of Education from 1947 until the time of his death last October twelfth. A graduate of Milbank High School, Mr. Koch exer- cised a keen interest in its activities and devoted much of his time personally to its interests. Noteworthy is the fact that his tenure as a board member together with that of his father, Charles J. Koch, total nearly thirty years of service to the public schools of Milbank. The new Koch Elementary School, opened for use this year, is n:med in their memory. 4 OUR MHS 'POLISHING LINE' WAS FIRST FORMED IN The Polishing Line Before granite can be ready for commercial use, it must first be polished to a high gloss, which is effected by means of a polishing line such as the one shown above. In Milbank High School we, too, have a polishing line where the four procedures necessary to polish a rlcb of granite can be compared to our four years of high school .... When we are freshmen, we start by grinding off the rough edges; sophomores pass through a secondary stage of emery polish; juniors receive a treatment of finer emery polish; and the seniors are buffed to a high gloss —or, at least, so we hope. Homecoming, Prom, and, for the girls, FHA are three of the ways MHS students are given an opportunity to receive this necessary polish . . . 5 OCTOBER WHEN HOMECOMING BROUGHT AN IMPRESSIVE Elva Mortens and Larry Johns reign as 1957 Homecoming King and Queen. Having been selected by a student body election, Elva and Larry were crowned King and Queen in coronation ceremonies on Thurs- day evening, the night before Homecoming. Elva has been exceptionally active in cheerleading and FHA throughout her high school career, and has also participated in Merry Stenos, glee club, junior class play, and student council. 5 Larry has been one of the top athletes of MHS for four years. He participated actively in football, basketball, and track; and this year was named by his team- mates as honorary captain of both the football and basketball teams. He took part in chorus, glee club, and the junior class play; and was president of both the M Club and student council in his senior year. CORONATION,____A TOP-QUALITY_____PARADE, A TERRIFIC The 1956-57 Homecoming was rich in tradition, color, and beauty. The corona- tion and pep rally started the Homecom- ing festivities on Thursday evening, Oc- tober 3. On Friday, the parade, a one- point margin victory over Webster, and a dance with music by Leo Fortin and orchestra made a wonderful Homecoming for both alumni and student. Standing: B. Wilson, N.

AT ALUMNI Merry Stenos second prize flCVALT Seniors — first prize Juniors — honorable mention Sophomores — third prize 7 PROM, FORMALS, SUITS, AND THE ORIENT PROVED: PROM The MHS gym was transformed into an Oriental garden —complete with bridge and cherry blossom trees on May 4 at the Junior-Senior Prom. The juniors, headed by general chairman, Jean Hoeke, worked hard to make the Prom the success it was. The juniors also set somewhat of a record for MHS Proms inasmuch as they kept the theme a secret for three weeks, the longest a Prom theme has ever been kept secret. Rita Sawrey, Bernita Larson, Leland Swan, Phillip Fabel, Margaret Chaloupka, Shirley Storm, Pat Weekley, and Linda Bailly headed the various Prom com- mittees. After the Prom the Kiwanis Club sponsored a buffet lunch and midnight show.

Early in the year several Milbank delegates attended the Sta te FHA Convention in Huron; and at Christmas time FHA members took a basket of fruit to the Old People's Home and sarg carols to them. In February Wilmot FHA members were Milbank's Round Robin guests and in April Milbank FHA girls attended a Round Robin meeting in Webster. Miss Woldseth was the FHA adviser. FIRST ROW: M.

ID THE WHEELS OF ACTIVITY AT MHS GO 'ROUND AND THE GENERATING ROOM Next stop in our quarry shed is the generating room. Here, many wheels of all sizes are constantly turn- ing to provide the mechanism and power necessary to keep the whole plant in operation. In like manner move the extra-curricular activities in Milbank High School. For, its activity wheels are constantly turning to generate a fuller and more rounded life for all MHS students. 11 ROUND' GENERATING A BROAD EDUCATIONAL SCOPE Standing: T. Jurgens, R.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY A Date With Judy, a threc-act comedy, was presented by the junior class on Novem- ber 30 in the high school auditorium, under the direction of Mr. Sly. The plot of the play revolved around Judy Foster and her family. Judy (R. Sawrey) and her friends entangled in a mad C3mpaign to beat Tootsie Whiteman, her arch rival, and anything and everything happened. Judy entered her unsuspecting father (L. Swan), by accident, of course, in the Stay- Kissed contest. Poor Mrs. Foster (B. Larson) was entered in the Glinto Hair Dye contest, all of which was quite amusing to Randolph (P. Fabel), Judy's sarcastic little brother. Judy's plan to beat Tootsie and become queen of the ball, led to much confusion, especially on the part of Oogie (L. Crowl), Judy's faithful boyfriend. However, Judy finally did become the queen of the ball, Oogie won a date with Judy, and the junior class netted over $370 for their class treasury. This is it! Just what we needed. Kissable! Who, me? 12 FOR ITS STUDENTS YEARS AGO, DEMOSTHENES SENIOR CLASS PLAY Gertie's Uncle was in Milbank on April 5 when the senior class presented their class play in the high school auditorium. Gertie's Uncle was the female version of Charley's Aunt with confusing and baffling events taking place throughout the play. As Gertie said in the beginning of the play, It sounds completely mad to me, but crazier things than this have gone through without mishap — maybe we'll be lucky. Their luck held to the tune of $345, net proceeds for the play. Standing: R. Kasuske, L. Peschong, G. Elliott. Seated: M. Campbell, A. Siewert, Judy Tillman, S. Berkner, J. Trapp, G. Dailey.

Maior! 13 'PRACTICED WITH A PEBBLE UHDER HIS TONGUE’ Mary Burges and Sharon Berkner (debating negative) with Jim Randall, Dan Kennison, and Virginia Dailey (affirmative) began the debate season this year by winning the First Place Trophy in the opening tournament at SDSC in Brookings. At the University Speech Tourna- ment the MHS'ers again added to the win column as the affirmative crew came home the only undefeated team among teams from three states. In the Midwest Tourney at August- ana the debaters ranked fourth behind larger schools in Lincoln, Nebraska, Watertown, and Sioux Falls. Decisions were awarded both nega- tive and affirmative all year as Milbank's debat- ers argued the merits of 90% parity price sup- ports for our country's major agricultural pro- ducts. The experienced debaters won more than 70% of their debates and the inexperienced 60% to record an expectional season. Experienced Debaters Left to right: G. Dailey, J. Randall, D. Kennison, M.

There is never a dull moment for the Merry Stenos! r addition to their skill building courses in shorthand, typing, and Dictaphone, they have performed many mimeographing, dittoing, and straight typing jobs for the school and community. Their fund-raising activities, to complete payment of the new electric typewriter, were very successful. They sold souvenirs, conducted the lunch concession and check room at the Homecoming dance and collected the school picture money. Their Homecoming float won second prize. They also sponsored an all-school party. Many of the girls took the FBI stenographic test. Heading this active organization were Pat Jurgens, president; Janice Nord, vice-president; Helen Falk, treasurer; and Audrey Siewert, student council representative.

In October Lyle Peschong, Glen Elliott, and Roger Kasuske attended the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Missouri; and during the year the FFA judging teams participated in various contests throughout the state. The climax of the year came at the state contest in Brookings when Milbank's judging teams took third place. The meat judging team, consisting of Glen Elliott, Dick Bray, and Marlyn Schumacher, won first in the state, which entitles them to go to the national contest at Kansas City, Missouri, in October of 1957. Roger Kasuske took second place honors in the state FFA public speaking contest. FFA OFFICERS R. Kasuske, reporter; G. Elliott, vice-president; L. Peschong, president; J. Menze, treasurer. 34 GLENN ELLIOTT At the first annual Know Your Land contest, which included participants from schools in the Northeast district of the state, Glen Elliott, Gary Hopkins, and Roger Kasuske, respectively, took top honors in the FFA division. Gary and Roger attended the national contest at Oklahoma in May. EVER-WIDENING CIRCLE AND FIRMLY RESOLVE TO DO To be eligible for the honor of being chosen a citizen of Boys' or Girls' State, a stu- dent must have evidenced traits of leadership with outstanding qualifications in character, service, and scholarship. The fundamental principles of govern- ment are stressed at Boys' and Girls' State, and each representative takes an active part in the government of his particular state. Girls' State was held in Mitchell on the campus of Dakota Wesleyan University from June 9-15. Boys' State was held in Aberdeen from May 26-June 1 at Northern State Teach- ers College.

The National Honor Society in Milbank is one of the younger organizations to con- tribute its activities to the curriculum of our high school. Although it is young, the members realize its importance and strive to work toward achieving its goals of Leadership, Scholarship, Character, and Service not only for themselves but for others. The National Honor Society is well represented by 24 members—12 seniors and 12 juniors. Mr. Campbell is the coun- selor of the organization and is the main force behind the members and goals of the society. Fourth row: G. Elliott, L. Peschong, L. Selgeby, D. Kennison, Mr. Campbell.

OUR TEACHERS ARE CONSTANTLY HELPING TO 'CHANNEL' The Channel Bars At the bottom of the quarry pit we see a man working with a strange-looking machine called the channel bar. The channel bar is actually a drill which outlines a chunk of granite—later to be blasted out of the pit—by grinding many small holes completely around it. Figuratively speaking, our teachers are much like these channel bars, for they make such a complete series of tiny impressions upon us that they actually help to form the outline or pattern of our later lives. 37 US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTIONS.

There are four levels In this quarry ladder, much the same as there are four classes in our high school—however, as the gets deeper and more levels are added to the stairway, it gradually becomes steeper; when we gradu- trmti high school, we, too, will find that our ladder to success has become steeper and will present a challenge to us. It is easy to topple from our ladder—one hasty or careless step will do it; but once we have reached our destination, we will know that it was worth the climb. 45 IF WE WISH TO MAKE IT SO. THE (LIMB TO THE CLASS OFFICERS J. Sudbery, secretary-treasurer; M. Raffety, president; J. Bruce, vice-president FRESHMEN—the climb begins The freshmen class was one of the energetic and enterprising groups of the school, having in- vaded nearly every school activity during the past year. The class learned much as green freshies and will move into the sophomore class leaving the tricks of the trade to next year's freshmen. The freshmen boys were very active in sports, while the girls were members of the tumbling team. The freshmen basketball team placed second in the conference with six wins and three losses. At the music contest on Feb- ruary 13 Lesley Swanson won superior ratings on both her soprano and oboe solo, and also was selected to sing in the eve- ning grand concert.

U FOUNDATION SO WE MUST 'BUILD OUR HOUSE UPON JUNIORS—the top is in sight A wonderful, eventful school year! This well describes the past nine months of busy activity in the junior class. The first social function of the year was homecoming. The class chose for its theme Swinging to Victory ' and Lowell Crowl and Janet Hermans represented the juniors as attend- ants to the Homecoming royalty. The biggest money-making project was the junior class play, A Date With Judy. The money earned from the production of this play was used to help defray the expenses of the junior-senior prom. Several of the class members participated in such activities as band, chorus, speech, and paper staff. The boys were active in the athletic pro- grams and there were many participating in the regional music contest. Ivan Schwenn won first place in the annual Voice of Democracy contest with Jean Hoeke and Rita Sawrey winning second and third places respectively. CLASS OFFICERS D. Raffety, president; L.

Every activity and class took on new and added meaning as the seniors caught themselves thinking over and over, this is the last time . . . Student Government Day and, of course, the Chicago trip became especially meaningful to the seniors. Almost any and every means was employed to raise money for their Education Days in Chicago. Fire- works, sweat shirts, souvenir programs, name tags, Christmas wreaths, candy and bake sales, and the class play were some of the money-making protects put to use by the seniors. As a memorial to the school the Class of '57 purchased a spotlight and left approximately $50 to be put into a new trophy case fund. CLASS OFFICERS D. Kennison, vice-president; G.
