Milbank High School - Kennel Yearbook (Milbank, SD)

Foreword The time, the moment is gone, but memory is less fleeting. This Kennel has been compiled to preserve memories of the past year. To some, these memories will bring sweet joy; to some, bitter tears; to still other, the memory will be bittersweet. We hope you will remember this year at MHS as happy and well spent. Happiness comes from striving, doing, achieving, conquering; such happiness is attained by taking advantage of each moment. Such moments are cherished dearly by some; regrettably, they are forever lost by others. Time moves swiftly; graduation from high school may be the end------or a beginning.

Board of Education Mrs. Vernon Engebretson Treasurer Dr. E. A. Johnson Pres ident Curtis A. Hallberg Clerk James Adler Albert McFarlane Dr. N. C. Madsen Neil Miller SCHOOL BOARD Primary responsibility for operating the public school system in Milbank is located within the Board of Education. Although it is a very powerful body, the exercise of its responsibil- ity is in conformance with the laws of South Dakota. Composed of five popularly elected members, this policymaking organization meets regularly on the second Monday of each month. When the electorate first expressed its desire for a school reorganization project in the dis- trict at a special election in October of 1963, the entire project rested in the hands of the Board of Education. After a year of planning, the voters voiced an overwhelming 80% ap- proval in October of 1964 to issue bonds to borrow the necessary $490,000 required for the project. The area annexed in the latter elec- tion formerly operated 15 rural schools. In July of 1965, five additional districts, which former- ly vetoed the bond issue, will join the reor- ganized district. Building of the Koch Elementary School addition began in the spring of 1965 and com- pletion of the entire addition is expected in the fall of 1966. Upon completion, Koch Elemen- tary will house grades one through six. Grades seven and eight will then relocate in the Cen- tral School, which now includes grades four through six. 6
