Milbank High School - Kennel Yearbook (Milbank, SD)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1961 volume:

Thi yew being South Dakota's 100th anniversary of becoming a territory, we, the annual Staff, thought it only fitting and proper to introduce our 1960-61 year- book with a salute to our city and state. In 1961, South Dakota is the show place of the nation. The great pageantry of the last frontier of the west is unfolding, featuring entertainment, parades, Indian folklore, military commemorations and the drama of the life of a hardy handful of pioneers who opened this land. We are sure that the pioneers of 100 years ago felt the same as we of today feel that we have A Century To Be Proud Of — A Future Unlimited.

South Dakota is very appropriately called 'The Land of Infinite Variety. It possesses beauti- ful state parks, clean cities, friendly people, and the world famous Mount Rush- more, all of which combined make South Dakota a state to be proud of for the centuries to follow. What is the city but people? Walking down the Main Street of Milbank, South Dakota, you will be greeted with a smile and a warm hello. This is the feeling that exists throughout the entire city of Milbank. We of the annual staff would like to thank these people of Milbank and the surrounding area for their attendance at the music concerts, the class plays, the sports activities, and other activities that occur throughout the school year. THESE ARE OUR INDUSTRIES The granite quarries, the cheese factory and the meat company are the three industries which combined absorb the greater part of Milbank's working force. These industries have done a great deal, through their advertising, to make Milbank one of the outstanding cities in South Dakota. VALLEY QUEEN CHEESE FACTORY FLANERY'S SAUSAGE COMPANY THE GRANITE QUARRY THIS IS OUR LAND South Dakota's land is rich, fertile soil. Driving along the highway, one may see tall corn, golden oats, and green pastures. Our land yields an overwhelming abundance of food—food for the people of this area and the entire nation.

As we look back on our four years we know that the time was not wasted. We, the seniors, took part in many activities and brought our school fame and honor each in our own small way. This year as seniors we have worked on various projects such as: candy sales, car washes, and Christmas wreath sales. The reward for this hard work was a wonderful trip to Chi- cago, Illinois. It is impossible to summarize in a few lines how valuable these four years are to each of us, whether we go on to school or not. These are the years we will always remember; the fun, the hard work, the remembrance of them will stay with us forever.

Members of the class took part in football, declam, basket- ball, debate, paper staff, music, FHA, FFA, track, all-state band, and Camera Club. Many students won honors in these activities. The sophomores co-operated in putting on the Masked Ball , Christmas Party , and in building a prizewinning float for the Homecoming Parade. The sophomores, as a result of this year's activities, feel prepared to take on the leadership and responsibilities which will be given to them in their junior year. Soon they will take an important step and become upperclassmen, the midpoint on their road to graduation and ultimate success and happiness.

STORY This year the F.F.A. is celebrating its 25th anniversary here in Milbank and the year has been quite successful. The Milbank Chapter of the F.F.A. par- ticipated in the state juding contests. This year the poultry team placed first in the state and participated in the national contest at Kansas City, Missouri. There were also two officers that attended the National Conven- tion, which is also held in Kansas City. The Milbank Chapter sells magazines each fall to earn money which is used for investing in something for the FFA. There is an award given each year to the top salesman. Ron Fenner was the high-point salesman this year. The FFA members are trained in practically every phase of agriculture. Dairy cattle, sheep, swine, and beef are judged for quality, build, and type in order to improve the farm livestock. In shop mechanics each student learns to weld, solder, and saw different cuts of lumber. They learn about electricity, power transmissions, belt pulleys, car engines, and sharpening farm tools. There are 63 members in the FFA this year and the club has proved very helpful in the past twenty-five years and will do even better in the next twenty-five. Congratulations, Mr. White, for advancing the Milbank Chapter of the FFA to such a high degree. Dinnerbell-time at the FFA Barbecue.

This year the council, which consists of a representative from each organization, club, and class, set up a dress and good grooming code for the Milbank High students. This was just one of the many interest- ing and important things in which the student council participated. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY First row: B. Aldrich, J. Driessen, J.

Active members, during the remainder of their junior year and their senior year, were twenty-two outstanding students. Under the leadership of President Kenneth Wellnitz, the Honor Society undertook, as their project, a student assembly for the purpose of inform- ing our students on the subject of college entrance and scholarships. A special library shelf was also established for various college catalogues to be used by students in choosing their future college. DEBATE THEY SPEAK FOR US Arguing the United Nations question, the de- bate team had a very busy and successful schedule this year. To start off the season the debaters at- tended a clinic at Aberdeen. Other weekends found the debaters exercising their vocal chords at Brookings, Vermillion, Aberdeen, Huron, Sioux Falls, and Arlington. Milbank was host for an inex- perienced tournament. Co-championship with Watertown in the dis- trict debate tournament gave the debaters a place at the State tournament held at Huron. A DEBATE Seated: Ann Mikkelson, Janet Reiners, Joan Graves, Barbara Al- drich. Standing: Kenneth Wellnitz, Judy Leonhardt. The experienced debaters had a rating of 35 wins and 19 losses.

During the year they worked on many money raising projects such as selling Homecom- ing souvenirs. Homecoming Mums, collecting the money for the school pictures, and also selling colorful pennants. All of these projects paid for a tape recorder with a loud speaker, which was used in office practice and shorthand classes. The Stenos took the Federal Civil Service and FBI tests.

SENIORS TAKE OVER CITY AND COUNTY ON STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY County Commissioners At Work! Student Government Day, which was held April 4 of this year, proved to be a very successful and educa- tional trip for the seniors who were candidates for the city and county offices. Preceding the election, a vigor- ous campaign was conducted by the two parties, the Whigs and the Tories. Each party worked hard and long hours in order to get their candidate into office. Most of the second floor of the high school was literally covered with campaign slogans and signs. The winning candidates and the runners-up observed how the city and county government is operated. In many cases they waited on some customers coming in to the court house to obtain car, hunting, and dri- ver's licenses. Janet and Julaine look over the county statistics. On Tuesday night the students were guests of the American Legion and the La- dies Legion Auxiliary for a delicious lunch. Some of the students were chosen by Mr. Campbell, the principal, to relate to those present what they had learned from the day's proceedings. The candidates all agree that it was very educational and interesting — especially the coffee breaksl Sign in hallway during Student Government Day. County Auditor, Janice Driessen, observes meeting.

The Junior Class play, The Great Big Doorstep ' by Dr. Lee Mitchell, was presented May 12 and 13. The Crochets, the Cajun family we see in the play, maintain a precarious existence in a tiny, but cheery shack among the cane-brakes of the Mississippi River. There are eight of them, six children, ranging in age from eight months to eighteen years, and their two parents. Papa Crochet, called the Commodore, because he once piloted a river barge, is now a ditch-digger, or, in his own language, a drainage expert. Mama Crochet manages her family with rare efficiency and at the same time secretly raises lilies among the marsh canes in the hope that some day she will be able to sell the bulbs. The family's most prized possession is a magnifi- cent front doorstep which they fished out of the river and which they hope eventually to match with a fine house. To have a house as handsome as this doorstep is the Crochet's idea of the last word in good living. The play was produced under the direction of Mr. Swanson, assisted by Joan Graves as student director. SENIOR (LASS PLAY THE FAIR EXCHANGE The romance of Steve Haviland and Peggy Wil- son was running quite smoothly, that is, until good old apple-eyed Agnes stuck her hand into it by initi- ating a scheme to exchange senior honor students as dates for a prom. It was expected that something ex- citing would happen, but the seriousness of what did happen was a surprise to all. It wasn't enough that Steve and Peggy were not getting along, but when the imposter that came in the disguise of Ched Armstrong turned out to be a hoodlum wanted for armed robbery, things began to roll. Everyone became quite excited when they found that Ched, also known as Dino Dirkin, and Peggy disappeared on the way to the prom. Thanks to the help of the police. Dad, Steve, and Diana, the culprit was finally captured and Peggy was brought home safe and sound.

The prom, the last big social event for the seniors and one of the things the ju- niors look forward to the most, was held April 29. The setting of a sidewalk cafe was used at the banquet to carry out the theme of the prom, April in Paris . Joan Graves was mistress of ceremon- ies at the 6:30 p.m. banquet. The theme song, April in Paris, was sung by a girls' quartet composed of Rheta Aesoph, Judith Berkner, Rosann Johnson, and Sheryl Siewert. The song, Vive Lamour, was sung by a boys' quartet composed of Ron- ald Anderson, Donald Hamilton, Charles Lindell, and Wayne Mors. Short talks were given by Mr. Modin, Ronald Boe, Ronald Anderson, Sarah Davenport, and Janet Reiners. The Grand March, the climax of the thrilling evening, was led by the junior and senior class officers under the Eiffel Tower. The couples then danced to the music of the Collegians. After the dance the juniors and seniors and their dates were served a buffet supper by the Kiwanis Club; this was followed by a midnight show. The final climax for prom-goers was private parties and picnics after the show. Boys' quartet serenades the people at a sidewalk cafe in Paris.

CHICAGO TRIP Sooooo Tired!!!! Marvelous, great, and terrific were a few of the many words that were expressed by all of the seniors about the long-awaited Chicago trip. Money was made by the participation of all seniors in car washes, class dues, candy sales, Christmas wreath sales, and the class play. What wasn't made from the various pro- jects came out of the senior's pockets and all agreed that it was well worth the cost. Another big day in Chicago coming to an end! Hmmmm!
