To each individual, high school life means something different. A memory is something done once, never to be forgotten—sometimes cherished—sometimes painful. To each of you who look at and read this book, it will bring up memories of high school days, for that is its purpose. Year in and year out, the same things are happening to boys and girls. But this is your high school, this is your year, 1958, and it is you who made this book possible. You take center stage, have leading lines, and present the character parts. On these pages is a picture and word record of almost a year of your life. May it be captured as you lived it. We hope that some part of this book may be of value to you; if it is, we have achieved our goal. William S. Dolan, a member of the Grant C ounty Review staff for 51 year� , had been its editor and publisher for 46 years when he died July 19, 1957, at the age of 70 years. Born on a farm near Hubbleton.

Mrs. Clarence (Phyllis) Justice, was born to them. W. S. DOLAN IN MEMORIAM Our life is like some vast lake that is slowly filling with the stream of our years. As the waters creep surely upward, the landmarks of the past are one by one submerged But there is always memory to lift up its head above the tide until the lake is overflowing. Charles C. Burges purchased the Milbank Herald Advance in 1931 and remained the editor-publisher of that paper until he died on Monday. Dec. 20. 1957, in Pierre following a stroke. The second son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Burges, he was born in Clara City. Minnesota, on August 6. 1903. one of ten children horn to these parents of American Dutch ancestry.

In many ways our school personnel fol- lows this pattern. Our superintendent and principal function as the publisher and city ed- itor. The teachers are page editors and make-up artists. The students are reporters who bring in the copy to be corrected, then rewritten by them for an acceptable copy. Some copy is not acceptable, so these reporters drop out during a four year period. The final work on the paper is make-up before it is printed and sent out into the world. During this four year period the make-up goal, or make-up pattern, is to educate boys and girls in mind, heart and body before they are grad- uated and sent out into the world. On May 21, the deadline, the staff will look over the finished pages and add their stamp of approval — the diploma. 10 EDUCATION FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS David Jurgens, V.

This was the expression heard through- out the halls during the beginning of the school year. It is important, how- ever, to remember that we now have another level of stairs to climb to reach our stardom. These stairs being the things that we are going to do with ourselves after graduation. Many of us have already charted the course of our stars, but we must prove to the outside world that we are capable and reedy to face her unknown whims. We now can no longer shrink from the world and let our parents guide us. We are now making our own decisions; we must stand up to the world. Brave words? Yes, but oh, how 'rue. It seems hard to speak of brav- ery when actually we are not. We are just like the freshmen in a sense. We are “a bit frightened by the idea of what this outside world is going to be like without the security we have known so long. A graduate might ex- plain it, At first I was like a fish out of the water, but eventually you learn how to breathe. Eventually we will become accustomed to this world but as yet we are unsure. We have pushed aside the worries of our future as long as possible. May we now, the 1958 seniors, take this task in our hands and make the most of it. 19 JUNIORS Anderson, James Anderson, Timothy Angerhofer, Larry Bear, Betty Berg, Lorna Berkner, Duane Berkner, Marlys Berquist, Mary Brown, Karin Bunting, Brenda Campbell, Berniece Cramer, Janet Cramer, Robert Cronin, Colette Crowl, Karen Davenport, Susan DeJong, Gary Dobson, Mary Dornbusch, Sharon Dubbs, David Ekern, Richard Erickson, Vergil Flathers, Linda Forman, Clarence Fors, Kendall Hance, Edward Hedman, Gary Hendrick, Carol Hoeke, JoAnn Hoeltgen, Joan Jensen, Lemar Kaden, Janet Kahler, Joan Karels, Rolland Karges, Beverly Kasuske, Raymond Kennedy, Gloria Kloster, Sharon Kruger, Elmer Lanser, Karen JUNIORS Lindrud, Meredith Linquist, Verla Lowthian, Genevieve Lunderville, Florence Lunderville, Mary McKernan, Joseph McKernan, Mary Lou Meadows, Sandra Menze, Linda Meyer, Jean Meyers, Nancy Miller, Judith Monserud, Beverly Montag, David Mors, Janet Mosey, Kenneth Petersen, Roger Ramsey, Elwood Reents, Royce Reiners, Phyllis Roggenbuck, Rosalie Sackreiter, Ruth Schmidt, Annette Schmidt, Lila Schwarze, Duane Spiering, Rochelle Thaden, Ronald Thaden, Ruth Tillman, Janet Van Hoorn, Geraldine Van Stralen, Marianne Van Veen, David Veen, Dayle Volkenant, Donald Webb, Lawrence Westphal, Gustav Whiting, Lucille Whitlow, Barbara Williams, Betty Wiseman, Margaret JUNIORS Zirbel, Janice AMBITIOUS AND EVER-READY TO MEET THEIR GOALS We could say the juniors are the understudies in our drama. They have almost reached their stardom. Many of our juniors are aware of this for you often overhear one of them saying, Gee, we have almost made it. In their role of understudy, the juniors have been prominent in many activities. Of course, the most import- ant activities were the Junior-Senior Prom and the Junior Class Play. The most looked-forward-to activity was the Junior-Senior Prom. When the an- nouncement for a junior class meeting first came over the inter-com, all of the seniors knew that the prom was to be discussed. Then several days later they knew the theme was to be chosen. The suspense was terrible but finally the theme was out. Many of our understudies had their parts in athletics. Many of the boys are in football, baseball and track. The boys who played were Don Volkenant, halfback; Royce Reents, end; Clarence Forman, guard; Richard Ekern, guard; Vergil Erickson, tackle; Ed Hance, tackle; Gary Hedman, quar- terback; Roily Karels, end and center; David Montag, guard; and David Van Veen, end. Royce Reents, Gary Hed- man and Rollie Karels we;re on the basketball team. Buddy Webb was on the cross-country track team. As for the girls in the class, Phyllis Reiners, Ruth Sackreiter, and Judy Miller were active in speech activities. Also, many of the girls and boys dis- played their talents in the Junior Class Play. With such a great group it is evident that you, the juniors, will make one of the finest senior classes Milbank High School has ever had. Good Luck Seniors of 1959! 22 SOPHOMORES Aesoph, Donald Anderson, Carol Anderson, Eloise Barnes, Joyce Bartholomew, Don Behlings, Marianne Berens, John Blum, John Boerger, Eugene Bohn, Linda Bruce, John Buchele, Gary Burns, Roger Busjahn, Irene Campbell, Arlene Cannedy, Dorothy Conrad, Arvin Creswell, Logan DeLong, Sharon Derrick, Kenneth Dockter, Colleen Dockter, Donna Dockter, Robert Dornbusch, Dale Driessen, Jerelynn Engebretson, Janet Englund, Lanna Erickson, Elaine Erne, Patricia Falk, Marcene Fenner, William Folk, Sharon Forman, Susan Fredrichsen, Shirley Gertsma, DeWayne Gesswein, Arthur Grabow, Janet Hansen, Carolyn Hermans, David Holtquist, Sharon 23 SOPHOMORES Jackson, Milford Jibbens, Dixie Johnson, Mary Ann Kasuske, Gerald Keller, Patricia Korstjens, George Lanser, Judith Larson, Donald Leddy, Dale Lentz, Janice Liebe, Arvid Liebing, Linda Lindell, Mary Ellen Lowthian, John Lundin, Lois Mertens, Beverly Mitchell, Ruth Nelson, Charles Nelson, Larry Olson, Janet Oltman, Marlow Radermacher, Kathryn Raffety, Michael Randall, Douglas Richter, Marlys Rider, Frances Sandstrom, Joyce Scheef, Beverly Schliesman, Leonard Schlosser, Thomas Schmidt, Edward Schumacher, Gloria Steltz, Larry Strobl, Ronald Sudbery, James Swanson, Lesley Swenson, Sharon Thomley, Ronald Thompson, David Van Asch, Ruth Ann SOPHOMORES Webb, Kenneth Weekley, Beverly Wellnitz, Darla Dell Wendland, James White, Noel Will, Richard ALWAYS LEARNING AND EVER STRIVING FORWARD In comparing the sophomores to the freshmen (heaven forbid!), you will find that the sophomores are now play- ing small parts in the drama of attain- ing their stardom. They have become important in our drama, for we must depend upon them to make our scene changes. To help do this there are thirty-six boys and fifty-three girls. The sophomore class has improv- ed over their first year. This year they are more efficient. Meaning, of course, they now know what is expected of them. They have also learned to util- ize their time for studying and play- ing. It seems that the sophomore class is the most active class. This in turn, can be translated to another meaning. That meaning being there are a lot of boys who enjoy getting into trouble or causing mischief. But, in thinking of tho sophomore class as a whole, it isn't fair to classify them all as such. As it has been said before, Never judge all by what has been done by a few. So as a whole, we must say the sopho- mores are a well-behaved group. Let us hope the wayward mem- bers do a little growing up. Good luck next year, or would you rather we called you juniors ? 25 FRESHMEN Adolphsen, Dennis Ahles, Mark Aldrich, Barbara Angerhofer, Arnold Arnold, Richard Barnes, John Beck, William Boe, Ronald Boruta, Margaret Rose Bunting, Judith Burchell, Deanna Busjahn, Mary Ellen Campbell, Sue Camus, Richard Christenson, James Comstock, Suxanne Cooper, Roger Creswell, Patsy Dahlgren, Kenneth DeLong, Carol ± 'j.

Junior attendants, David Montag, Linda Flath- ers; sophomore attendants, Milford Jackson, Jere- lynn Driessen; freshmen attendants, Jayloy Thorkel- son, Joan Pauli; throne attendants, Betty Bear, Joan Kahler, Nancy Meyers, and Verla Linquist. Elva Mertens, queen of the 1956 Homecoming, crowned the new royalty. Susan Davenport sang “Beloved” in honor of Homecoming. Carol Henricks sang “Stranger in Paradise,” to honor the king and queen of 1957 Homecoming. Coronation ceremonies were directed by Mr. Alan Swanson. Following the coronation ceremonies the stud- ent body, faculty and friends of MHS met on the athletic field for a pep fest, led by cheerleaders, 44 Marilyn Williams, Betty Williams, and Karen Crowl. Other speakers were Mr. Swanson, Jack Flan- ery, Dr. Hanley and Mr. Marquette. On Friday morning promptly at 10:30 the 34 unit parade left the court house led by the Milbank High School band. Prizes were awarded the sponsors of the best floats. Receiving the honors in the high school division was the Library Club for their “Milbank Stars Will Shine Tonight.” Second place went to the seniors for a “Fountain of Knowledge.” “Making Chickens Out of Pheasants,” by the freshmen won third place. Honorable mention was awarded the junior class and the Future Farmers. Friday night Homecoming was rocketed to a terrific success with the Bulldogs defeating the Redfield Pheasants 34-19. After the game there was the usual Homecom- ing Dance with a large crowd on hand to enjoy the festivities. This was Homecoming 1957. Girls seated from left to right: B. Bear, V. Linquist, M.

The Banquet started at approximately 6:33. Many seniors ar- rived early to “inspect” the gym decorations. The theme, “Underwater Fantasy,” was very cleverly worked out. The gym was decorated in seaweed, fish of all kinds, underwater castles, and mermaids. The background of the stage was an open oyster shell. Also, the juniors rigged up a bubble machine. This made the underwater theme more realistic. The Grand March was held at 8:30 with dancing until 11:30. Music was furnished by Leo Fortin and his band. Following the dance, the Kiwanis Club pro- vided lunch in the community rooms of the First National Bank. DeFea Theatre then had a midnight movie. All of these things were done in an attempt to keep prom-goers occupied and in Milbank. Concluding, we seniors want to thank you, the juniors, for the work you went through for us, and it was truly “A Prom to Remember.” 46 Klft4(ehtl Honor $ou iv SflAsU Council « Ijbrury C4 H«rr Sf« • « V •V F.M A.

Inexperienced Debate When the call for debaters was sounded this fall, many students responded. These people had many practice rounds of'debate here in Milbank before attending their first tourney at Vermillion where they won seven rounds of debate. The Huron College Tourney started a record of three wins— three losses which they kept for the Watertown Speech Fiesta and the Redfield Novice. Their de- bating season ended with the NSTC Tourney at Aberdeen where they had five wins and five losses. Experienced Debate The debating season for Milbank High was underway with the first tourney held at Brookings. Annette Shauf and Phyllis Reiners won one round of debate. At our practice tourney in Vermillion the team won three out of eight. The team had a little misfortune in the tourney at Huron by winning only one round of debate. At the NSTC Tourney the team left with an even record of five wins—five losses. Judy Miller was able to partici- pate in the finals in Girls’ Extemporaneous at Sioux Falls. The last tournament was the Divisional at Aberdeen. Judy Miller again was one of the top two in Girls’ Extemporaneous giving her the op- portunity to attend the State Tourney at Huron where she placed sixth. EXPERIENCED DEBATE Left to right: P.

SENIOK EAST STAGE HIT A cast of eleven seniors played to a capacity audience on Friday, November 22, at 8 p.m., when the seniors presented the play, “Fury Within.” in the high school auditorium. Once more the principal of last year’s junior play scored a triumph. This time, Rita Sawrey, played the part of a jealous, neurotic aunt, Vrona Kemp, a music teach- er. Miss Kemp is very deceiving with her gentle and patient manner. Jean Hoeke, the sister-in-law, Dorothy Kemp, is the target of Vrona’s malice as she schemes to have her put in a mental hospital as revenge for the marriage of her brother to Dorothy. Now, her love is given to Evan, the son of this marriage. Evan, played by Lowell Crowl, enlist- ed the sympathy of the audience for him- self and his mother, Dorothy. Carolyn Van Veen, as Gail Lambert, Evan’s fiance; Carol Richter as Selma Millard, and Leland Swan as Charlie Mill- ard, her brother, friends of the Kemp fam- ily; Bernita Larson as Madge Benham, friend of Vrona Kemp; Tom Jurgens as Dr. Robb; Carole Larson, the nurse; Barbara Elliott; Pat Weekley as Phyllis Calvert and Phillip Fabel as Bobby Adams, her boy friend, gave excellent performances. From the moment the curtain parted until the final curtain closed, the audience was held by the tense drama, the swiftly moving action and the superb acting of the high school group.
