Foreword Here is a yearbook attempting the impossible for you----trying to recreate for you the undefin- able, the unforgettable. Here is the Kennel with its shortcomings and its attributes. Our portrait includes the sad and serious,---the gay and frivolous moments of the past. Through the pages of this 1966 Kennel, we have tried to capture moments you will want to remember. Our desire is to preserve a record of these moments and the countless other experiences of you and your classmates by capturing the eyes and mind of the scholarship, the leadership, the activities, and the character of Milbank High. We hope it does..........

Board of Education Dr. N.C. Madsen Vice-president Dr. E.A. Johnson President Curtis A. Hallberg Business Manager James Adler Neil Miller Verne Beare Board of Education The policy-making body of the Milbankpublic school system is the five member board of education. The mem- bers are popularly elected, one every year, and each serves for a term of five years. Four of the Board mem- bers are from the urban area and one is from the rural area of the school district. The Board meets regularly on the second Monday of each month, but because of the district reorganization and the addition at Koch school it has been necessary to convene almost once a week for the past year. Although the Board of Education is a very powerfu I body, the exercise of its responsibility must be in conformance with the laws of South Dakota. In 1965 for the first time the Board instituted the office of business manager to replace the clerk and the treasurer of the Board of Education. The position is filled by Mr. Curtis Hallberg, who also handles the financial end of the high school activity and lunch funds. In addition to routine business during the past year and a half, the board has made provision for the financing and construction of the 23 room addition to the Koch elementary school building, for which a $490,000 bond issue was instituted. Construction began in the spring of 1965 and should be completed by the fall term of 1966. The reconstructed building will house the kindergarten and grades one through six. Seventh and eighth grades and some high school classes will then be housed in the Central building. This will relieve most of the present crowding, and nextyear for the first time all departments of the school will be housed in permanent quarters. The Board of Education has recently approved the pur- chase of much new equipment and the hiring of additional grade teachers through the use of federal funds. Superin- tendent Marquette stated that The impact of the Federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act will continue to be felt next year and full advantage should be taken of it. The federal government has alloted $90,000 to the Milbank public school system to be used for improve- ments, added teachers, and equipment, especially in the elementary grades, and in the Business Education and Home Economics fields in high school.
