Milbank High School - Kennel Yearbook (Milbank, SD)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1967 volume:

THE KENNEL 1967 Volume Twenty-two Published by the Senior Class Milbank High School Milbank, South Dakota Foreword We, the 1967 yearbook staff, have worked throughout the year to recreate the past and place it in these few pages. For the seniors this book is the last treasurable keepsake of their high school days, but for the freshmen it is only the beginning. Each person as he turns the pages will recall the lasting memories of his Alma Mater. For some it will be happy, for some, sad. Let us now fol- low the final steps through this book, for it is said that History is but the unrolled scroll of prophecy.

Hallberg Business Manager Dr. E. A. Johnson President Dr. N. C. Madsen Vice-president Board of Education The Board of Education, the policy-making body of the Milbank public school system, has been active this year in enlarging school facilities. Two significant additions were made to the physical facilities of the Milbank Independent School District during the current year. The first was the completion of a 23-room addition to the Koch Elementary Building, making a facility to house all the grades from kindergarten through sixth. This building was com- pleted and occupied in September of 1966. Its cost was ap- proximately $630,000. Some 735 pupils attend school there and 30 teachers have assignments in the building. A second addition to the school plant resulted from the purchase by the school district of the building formerly oc- cupied by the Milbank Mutual Insurance Company. This build- ing is being used as a Junior High School. It is located two blockswest of the high school and one block from the down- town area. A complete alteration for school purposes was planned by a professional architect and the necessary remodel- ing was done by the insurance firm before the buiIding was transferred to the school district. The cost, including the alterations, was $90,000. The renovated Junior High School buildingcontainseightclassrooms, a large library-study hall, a spacious locker and entry area, a teachers' room, a princi- pal's office, office space for the business manager, and an office eventually to be occupied by the superintendent. A very useful feature of the building is that it is completely air-conditioned, thus affording ideal space for summer classes. Approximately 210 seventh and eighth graders attend school in this building. Eight full-time teachers are assigned here together with two having part-time assignments in other parts of the school system. The building was first occupied by the school in December of 1966. The use of the Koch oddition and the newly renovated Junior High School building eliminated for the first time in eight years the use of temporary classroom space. The neces- sity for additional space started in 1958 when the gymnasium in the Koch Building was partially converted to classroom use. In 1963 Junior High School grades were moved to temporary classrooms in the Milbank City Additorium. School reorgani- zation in 1964 necessitated the use of rooms in two churches. Togetherwith the discontinuance of temporary classrooms this year, the Central Bui Iding erected in 1928 was vacated by the elementary grades and is now serving as overflow space for the adjacent high school. Several spare rooms in the building are yet available for added growth. 4 Administration and r Faculty Arthur B. Campbell University of South Dakota, M. A.

Glen Cotfen, Vern Adolphsen So often the people who are perhaps most essential to school life are taken for granted. The janitors and cooks at MHS are just such people. They proceed unfalteringly intheirdaily work, yet are given little credit for the out- standing job they do. Much time and care is put into main- taining the school efficiently and keeping it in good run- ning order. Oursparklingbuilding and the well-balanced, nutritious meals in the school's lunch program are due to the efforts of these conscientious people.

Just four years ago on industrious group of freshmen joined the ranks of the MHS student body. CXiring their high school career they proved themselves worthy of praise by taking top honors in each field they entered. This year's senior class has shown a zest for life which will prove to be a deciding factor in their future success. Money-raising projects for the Chicago Tour dominated the schedule of activities for the seniors. Among these were the class play, car wash, candy sales, sale of Christmas, wreaths, and the basketball concession stand. The seniors excelled in many fields. Six seniors were members of All-State chorus, and many received superior and excellent ratings at the Region III Music Contest. Two MHS senior boys became Milbank's first State wrestling champions. The senior-domino ted basketball squod won the Northeast Conference Title and Sectional Tournament ond went on to win the State Toumoment for the first time in MHS history. Two seniors received Letters of Commendation for their high scores on the National Merit Scholarship Tests, and Milbank's entry in the Snow Queen Contest brought home two trophies from the State Contest in Aberdeen. The senior closs was also octive in band and chorus. They formed the nucleus of the National Honor Society, ond were the bockbone of the Student Council. Student Government Day ond the Student of the Month Program were sponsored by the Kiwanis Club for the benefit of the seniors. Highlighting the senior year were the three day trip to Chicago April 6-8 and being honored at the Junior-Senior Prom. The crowing event for the class of '67 come on June 1, when they received their diplomas at the graduation exercises.

Ever-aging Time teoches all things. - Aeschylus. A wealthof talent, leadership abil- ity, and enthusiasm was shown by the junior class as they completed their first year as upperclassmen. They found the year to be hectic and more difficult scholastically than their first two years, yet they met the challenge with commendable vigor and earnestness. New doors were opened to the class as they received such honors as Na- tional Honor Society and Girls' and Boys' State. They received first place in the Homecoming Porode with their locomotive portraying the theme Don't Be Loco-R-Motive Is to Win. A thirty-two member cast presented The Mouse That Roared as a money- raising project for the Prom. Many nights of long, hard work were put into the decoration of the gym for the Prom held on the 6th of May, 1967. Highlights of the year for the juniors were attendance of their own Prom, the opening night of the Junior Class Play, and taking over for the seniors during the Chicago Tour. A highly successful year for the juniors leaves the class of '68 with just one short year of high school remaining.

Sophomore Class Be ruled by time, the wisest counselor of all. -Paricles. Time, the great teacher, continued the education of the class of '69 as they embarked on their sophomore year. Their goals have been set, and they are well on their way to reaching them. The second year of high school found the sophomores partici- pating in various activities. Two intermediate debate teams were composed of sophomores, with a large number of sophomores taking part in declamation. Positions on the varsity basketball squad were held by two sophomore boys, and four controlled their weight class in varsity wrestling. One sophomore girl served as a varsity cheerleader and another as a B cheerleader. The sophomores were also active members of chorus, band, FFAand FHA, and many other school organizations. One sophomore was selected to serve as page editor on next year's Bulldog, and another was selected to serve as assistant editor. Social highlights of the sophomore year were serving at the Junior-Senior Prom and attending the Sweetheart Ball and Homecoming dances. Passing time has brought the sophomore class to the end of their term as| underclassmen. The next two years as upper- classmen will pass swiftly for them as many new opportunities are mode available. 27 Freshman Class Perry Aden Steven Ahles Wade Akerson Thomas Allen Joyce Am berg Alan Angerhofer Alice Angerhofer Carolyn Angerhofer Gary Angerhofer Irma Angerhofer Terry Bogaus Tom Bartholomew Gary Beochem Kathleen Beare Grace Boe Diane Bohlen Billy Bohn Shirley Buchele Thomas Bue Candace Chamley Vickie Chamley Lowell Christopher Jean Croymans Catherine Davenport Michoel Decker Leanna DeJong DarrelJ Delong Eugene Delong Bruce Dexter Jean Dohrer Jean Dombusch Connie Dragt Kent Englund Terry Englund Patricio Flanery Judy Fordyce Donna Forman Gary Foss Gail Frickson Kathleen Giessinger William Giessinger Sandra Gill Steven Graf Dale Gudmundson Cherie Gulck Robert Hagen Garry Haliburton Terry Hammrich 28 Freshman Class Arden Hanson Floyd Hermans Sandra Hermans John Hicks Roger Hilbrands Wayne Hoeke Pauline Homan Mary Houck Russel Howard Larry Hurley Susan Iverson Vickie Iverson Walter Jacobson Carol Jibbens Mark Johnson Tom Kosuske Michael Keller Timothy Keller Delaine Knaus Colleen Larson Dianne Layher Timothy Loeschke Charles Lunderville Patricia Marquardt Theresa Martin Mary Lea Melgard Duane Mielitz James Miller Stephen Miller Grant Mod in Charles Mohler Keith Moser George Mosey Lorraine Mueller Virginia Mueller Marlene Murley Charles Natalie Kim Nelson Joleen Oehler Marsha Olson Margaret O'Shaughnessy Daniel Pansch Jeffrey Pansch Peggy Parker David Pauli Elizabeth Pay Gary Pies James Pinkert 29 Freshman Class Richard Prasnicki David Ramsey Julie Redmond Joyce Reese Barbara Reil Mary Rethke Margaret Retzer Roger Sackreiter Phyllis Scheef Charles Schell Nancy Schiefelbein Sharon Schmeichel Gregory Schmitt Donna Schultz Steven Schultz Phyllis Schumacher Barbara Schwandt Susan Schwandt Linda Seezs James Settje Mark Sieverson Patricia Sorsen Michael Spahr Mark Speirs Suzanne Stengel Timothy Stengel Jean Stocking Donald Strege Reid Strege Gregory Strobl Jeffrey Sullivan Michael Szymanski Lynda Thiele Dorothy Thompson Marcia Thompson Robert Tillman Gary Trapp Lorry Trapp Arlys Tulowetzke Lorene Unzicker Rebecca Van Erem James Van Hoorn Mary Van Ray Renee Van Sambeek Ruth Van Sambeek Mark Wellnitz Teresa Westphal Roy Whiting 30 Freshman Class Freshman Story Time ripens ail things. No man is born wise. -Cervantes. The beginning of four wonderful years began for 147 freshmen as they entered the realms of Milbank High School of 1966. They succeeded in making their first year all they had hoped for, adding vitality, enthusiasm, and a desire for learning to the school. Although the freshman yearisone of getting acquaint- ed with the high school routine and the rigors of home- work, the freshmen still found plenty of time to partici- pate in a variety of activities. Many of them attended their first Homecoming dance after the victory over Clark. The freshman football, basketball, and wrestling squads gave evidence to a promising future for MHS athletics. There were four novice debate teams composed of fresh- men, and one freshman qualified for the Regional De- clamation Meet. Many freshmen also took part in the Junior Declamation Contest. Several were members of band and chorus and attended the Region III Music Con- test held at Watertown. Two of the B Cheerleaders were freshmen, helping to lead the reserve teams to victory. The class of '70 has completed the first phase of their high school career. Each passing day brings them closer to the final goal, graduation.

Junior High Story Wait, Thou child of hope, for Time shall teach thee all things. -M. F. Tupper. The Junior High students experienced the excitement of preparing for high school as they participated in many new activities for the first time. The classes began the year in the city auditorium, but late in 1966 moved to the newly remodeled Junior High building, which formerly housed the Milbank Mutual Insurance Company. Mr. Duane Rembold is the Junior High principal. Many students in the Junior High took part in the variety of activities made avail- able to them. They published their own news- paper four times during the year. Band and chorus were a part of their activities, and they competed in the Regional Junior High Music Contest. Four cheerleaders were elect- ed in December to support their two basket- ball teams in their quest for victory. They also participated in and sponsored the Junior High Declamation Contest. An excited group of eighth graders gradu- ated June 2, ready and eager to begin high school. 34 Sports Triumph Was Their Aim Varsity for 1966-67 Row 1: B. Helm, T. Steinlicht, D. Beare, M. Ostlie, R.

They not only were NEC and Section One champs, but also State A victors for the first time in the school's history. Throughout their whole season the Bulldogs played and perfected a remarkable type of ball game. It consisted of calm, precisioned teamwork. The Bulldogs had a great season losing only two of their nineteen games. The first game was lost to the Clark Comets on the home floor. It was a heartbreaking loss by only one point. The Bulldogs dropped a second game to the Watertown Arrows by nine points. Two close away-from-home victories were played by the Milbank cagers in the 1966-67 season. In a tough game with the Sisseton Redmen the Bulldogs came out with a narrow three point margin. Later the Bulldogs squeaked by the Flandreau Indians with a two point victory. A fine performance was recorded at the Section One Tournament with the Bulldogs toppling Watertown by twenty- two points in the final game. The team appreciated their opportunity to go to State A and proved it by bringing home the trophy. It has been a great season for the Bulldogs, one not soon to be forgotten.

The boys yelled and thudded each other on the back while the girlsscreamed and cried and hugged one another. Then without an apparent warning the Bull- dog fans swarmed onto the floor. The team that before had been so calm and col- lected broke into shouts of excited joy. The right to perform the traditional ritual of taking down the nets was theirs, the trophy and title were theirs, and they were the men of the hour. When they could proudly wave the nets and show their trophy to the world they took leave of the happy crowd with their coach riding high upon their shoulders. When the Champs arrived home they were greeted by more people, it is said, than were present for the seventy- fifth anniversary of Milbank. The Bulldogs were escorted into town by police, fire engines, and fans. They were met by more of the same in- cluding Little Toughie, the green and white velvet bulldog that the team had adopted as its mascot. Richard Olson scored 13 points for the tournament and rated honorable men- tion in the All-Tournament selection. Mark Comstock rocked up a total of 26 points, and received honorable mention. David Graf come up with a total of 25 points during the three nights of tournament play, and also received honorable mention. Row 1: D. Graf, N. Stocking, R. Perdaems, J. Wilson, M. Forman, R.

David Graf (24), Mark Comstock (20), John Schleicher 1967 State A” Champs John Schleicher (42) 1967 State A” Champs Hot and tired but very happy is about the only way one can describe the Bulldogs after they won the South Dakota State A championship. The Bulldogs earned the right to go to the State Tourney by taking the Section One title for the first time in 14 years. At that time their fans were overjoyed with the mere thought of going to the State A .The Bulldogs, though were thinking of something even better. They took their opponents one at a time, concentrating on that team only. After each succeeding victory they become more determined to do a repeat per- formance of that victory the next night. They proved Mr. Campbell's often vo iced be lief that the team that won't be beat, can't be beat. The strain of three nights and fierce determination is enough to make even the hardiest person a little dulled to passing events, but victory is a won- derful invention. It can make even the hardest work seem like a dream. As Mr. Jensen was overheard to have said in the locker room after the final victory, Did it happen, or am I dreaming. Douglas Dohrer scored 47 points and was picked for the second five All- State team. John Schleicher captured five of twenty-two votes cast by South Dakota sports writers for the most valuable player in the State A event. He is second only to Marty Wakazoo of Rapid City. John was among the five named to the 1967 Class A All-Tournament team.

Wrestling Two wrestlers, Michael Redmond at the 1 12 lb. class and Marlyn Johnson at the 133 lb. class, climaxed a successful year of wrestling for the Milbank team by winning two individual championship titles at the State Wrestling Tournament. Preceding this tourney, the MHS squ' had compiled a second ploce finish in the N. E.C. tourney, losing by only eight points to a determined Redfield team. A first place finish at the Sisseton Invitational, was earned when 10 boys captured 10 of 12 individual champ medals. Our boys also brought home Mil- bank's first undisputed N.E.C. Championship in both varsity and B. competition by defeating every team in the conference. At the Regional tournament, eight of Coach Wilson's squad members won the privilege of representing Milbank at the State Tournament, and in the process took third place, losing out to second place Watertown by a mere three points. Milbank's squad suffered only three dual match defeats, to Watertown, Browns Valley, and Brookings. Two weeks after falling to the Brooking's team, the Bobcats won the State Wres- tling title. All told the grapplers gave their first year coach, Mr. Wilson, something to remember and to set his goals by in the coming year. Michael Redmond is receiving his medal after winning the State Championship in the 112 lb. weight class. Michael finised the year with a perfect record of 25-0. 45 They Are the Echo of the Wind Varsity Row 1: Gory Englund, Robert Hicks, Ronald Drobeck, Dwight Frick- Richard Dohrer.

The eight cheerleaders at MHS have done an outstanding job of leading the fans in their support of the Bulldogs. Their boundless enthusi- asm and abundant energy have encouraged our teams to victory many times. The tasks of the cheerleaders are not easy. Upon them rests the responsi- bility for uniting the clamor of the whole student body into a resounding cheer. Besides planning the pep rallies, they must also practice their routines each week in preparation for the games. The five A and three B cheerleaders are under the direction of Mrs. Lillian Colberg.

Nancy Bracht Co-editor Paper Staff The members of the Bulldog staff represent one of America's most important rights; That, of course, being freedom of the press. The staff, under the supervision of Mr. Stephen Miedema, worked very hard to gather the news concerning our school and the teen-age generation. The articles were written, then taken to the printer's office to be typed into galleys. The co-editors and page editors would then arrange the galleys into the desired form and return it to the printers for publication. Once a month all the students and the faculty were given papers, wherein they could read articles about com- ing events, scholastic honors, recent sports run-downs, and the opinions of both students and teachers.

Band Music is the universal language of the world, un- derstood and loved by al I people in al I nations. Through music we are able to communicate moods and feelings which would be meaningless in any other form. It is flexible, easily molded, and expressive of any emotion. With these thoughts in mind, the MHS band, under the direction of Mr. Dale Peterson, practices dili- gently each morning during first hour to perfect their music. The hard work and combined efforts of all in- volved make each performance a success. This year the 60-piece marching band participated in the Hobo Day Parade at South Dakota State Univer- sity, MHS's Homecoming Parade and half-time activi- ties, and the Memorial Day Services. Concert performances included a Thanksgiving Con- cert with the chorus before the student body, the an- naul Mid-Winter Concert, and the Pops Concert, also with the chorus. Soloists and ensembles from the band attended the Region III Music Contest in February. MHS's instrumentalists made a fine showing, bringing home thirteen superior ratings, sixteen excellent rat- ings, and two good ratings. The concert band's final performance was during the senior commencement exercises. Row 1: N. Bracht, S. Remund, D. Stengel, R. Reich, L. Stein- licht, N. Emanuel, M. White. Row 2: C. Jibbens, J.

Melody Sweeps the Universe Chorus and Glee Clubs Ever since man first learned that his voice could be used other than in speech, he has been expressing his emotions through song. Singing has been essential to the American way of life, and the MHS chorus and glee clubs have done their part in carrying out this age-old tradition. The mixed chorus at Milbank High School was com- posed of approximately seventy students from all four grades. Their concert schedule included a Thanks- giving Concert with the band before the student body, their, annual Christmas Concert, two exchange con- certs with Watertown, and the annual Pops Concert with the band in the spring. Many soloists and en- sembles from mixed chorus participated in the Region III Music Contest. Accompanists for the mixed chorus were Rebecca Wise and Marilyn Halverson. The boys' and girls' glee clubs, each having about 45 members, participated in the Thanksgiving, Christ- mas, and Pops Concerts. Accompanying the girls' glee club was Virginia Mueller.

Its purpose is to give the students representation on such matters as dress code, conduct rulings, and certain organization problems. Mr. A. B. Campbell is the Student Council advisor. One of the most important projects undertaken by the Student Council was Homecoming. The council was in charge of all the details surrounding the two-day affair.

The Library Club A book is a key that can unlock the doors to enjoy- ment, adventure, and knowledge. A library is the storehouse of many such valuable treasure . For each library there must be a staff of workers to maintain the wealth of material within its walls. MHS is very proud of the many interested students, under the supervision of Miss Helen Druley, who help each day to make the school library an excellent place to study. Each student librarian is a member of the Li- brary Club, an organization devoted to the betterment of the library and the services it provides. A library is not made, but, rather it must grow with the help of many interested and devoted people. The librarians of MHS have lived up to the high quali- fications needed to make ours a good school library. Seated: C. Hoch, K. Reil, D. Pauli. Standing: L. Ander- son, J. Winquist, Miss Druley.

It was initiated only two years ago, and already consists of a membership of sixty-five students under the direction of Miss Arlene Fox and Mr. Charles Myklegard. The F. B. L. A. has set many high goals for its mem- bers to strive for. The organization seeks to develop 72 competent, aggressive leaders through the strengthen- ing of confidence of the young men and women in them- selves and their work. It seeks to develop character, train for useful citizenship, and foster patriotism as well as to improve and establish standards for entrance into store and office occupations. The F.B. L.A. also encourages its members to improve the character of the individual himself. America today is experiencing a great new era; it is the age of the mighty computer. Automation has swept the United States practically overnight. It is a wonderful advancement in that so many difficult tasks can now be done by machine instead of by man. But the world is also experiencing a great shortage of a very important social and economical element. It is a vocation which can never be satisfactorily replaced by a mere box of metal, regardless of its intelligence. That occupation is teach- ing. There is now, and there will be a great need for good teachers on both the elementary and advanced levels. A group of MHS senior students under the direction of Mr. Oscar Dickhaut is interested in helping ease this shortage. Each member of F.T.A. is given a chance to try his or her hand at the great task of teaching. To the right are Nancy Bracht, teaching chemistry, and Marilyn Halverson, teaching music. F.B.L.A.

In the autumn of the year, MHS students returned to school. The year was officially begun with the coronation of a new king and queen on September 29, 1966. In the midst of a beautiful gold and bronz stage portraying the theme Autumn Leaves, the large crowd was entertained royally. The high school band began the program with a lively march. This was followed by an all senior vocal group singing Autumn Leaves. The Boys' Quartet paid tribute to the school by singing our famed song Milbank High. The attendants of the classes of '68, ‘69, and '70 were introduced just preceding the presentation of the king and queen candidates. Suspense arose in everyone as the candidates left thestage. Aftera few trying moments the huge gold- en leaf in the center of the stage opened revealing the royalty, Diane Tjaden and Marlyn Johnson. Queen Diane was awarded a bouquet of gold mums as Nicholas Stocking sang a solo. King Marlyn read the proclamation of coming events for the Homecom- ing season. The significant festival came to a close as the audience sang the school song and hailed the 74 reigning royalty. Senior Float Douglas Dohrer, Patricia O'Shaughnessy, Jeannine Modin, Mark Comstock.

Many seniors acting in the capacity of stage crew, prompters, properties and make-up committees, as well as the cast worked together to make the play a huge success. The play was based on the book, Men Are Like Streetcars. The main plot was concerned with the Mason's younger daughter, Maudie (Shirley Tietjen) and her quest to get her older sister, Sylvia (Mary Batcheller) married off. While attempting this Maudie loses her steady boyfriend, Davy (Jack Lieffort) and manages to ruin a business deal between her father (Dave Mohnsen) and Jerry (Mike Larson). The plot is further complicated by Maudie's three girlfriends and hercousin, Joy. All the problems were resolved, but not until the entire family was in an uproar. The Senior Class Play was one of the major pro- jects enabling the seniors to earn money for their an- nual educational tour of Chicago.

Its only export Pinot Grand Fen- wick, was being cheaply duplicated by a winery in California. Without an export or any means by which it could support its proud inhabitants, the tiny country hod to re- sort to its mighty armed services. Clad with long-bows and shining armor the soldiers, under the gallant leadership of the faithful forest ronger, Tully Bascom, set out in a rented boot to invode the United States. Duchess Glorianna the Twelfth, along with all the high officials, felt certain that the small group would easily be defeated by the Americans. Therefore, the winners would hove to rehabilitate the losing land and in this way Grond Fenwick would pros- per once again. The troopers entered America's largest city during a civil defense drill when nearly all the citizens were in their fall-out shelters. Up in the high observatory of Columbia University, an eccentric nuclear physicist sot pondering over a small rocket-shaped instrument. Tully Bascom forcefully entered the room capturing the scientist and his toy. After a long interrogation, it was revealed that this toy was actually the Q bomb, the most powerful weapon on the foce of the earth. Little Grond Fenwick, with its wine export and its roaring mice, was now a world power demanding ransom for its hostages and the bomb. The resultont ransom wos to be twelve coveted pomegranates for Glorianna and a promise of world peace. Imagine this crazy, microscopic coun- try tel ling the rest of the world - no war.

Dennis Mongold ond Larry Jurgens Do we have to be good all the time? Rosemary Hermans, Carol Hilbrands, and June Laskowske: Ready to go again! Exciting, educational, tiring, inspirational—all these words can be used to describe the trip to Chicago mode by the senior class, April 6- 8. Each of the 105 seniors who mode the trip hod something different to carry home with him as the highlight of his three days, but for everyone the trip was extremely worthwhile. The song Chicago ran through the minds of the class as they pro- ceeded on their train ride to Chicago through Minneapolis and Mil- waukee. The twelve-hour ride found some sleeping, some playing cards, some talking, and others just sitting. Dinner at Toffenettis Thursday night was followed by bus tours of Chicago by night. These guided tours included Skid Row, Chicago's notorious slum district; the Lakeshore Drive along Lake Michigan, with the Chicago skyline; the Spaghetti Bowl ex pressway, boasting four- teen lanes of traffic; and Old Town. Two museums and a zoo were on the itinerary for Friday's tours. Again buses took the class from place to place, the guides describing various points of interest along the way. Most of the morning was spent touring Lincoln Park Zoo, followed by tours of the Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Science and Industry during the afternoon. Friday evening was free night for the seniors. Some chose to at- tend a stage play or movie; others went shopping in Old Town, ond still others viewed the city of Chicago from the Prudential Observa- tory. Saturday morning was free for shopping or sleeping, and at 11:30 the class boarded the train. Saturday night found a group of tired but happy seniors and chaperones pulling into the depot in Milbank to be greeted by a huge crowd of friends and parents.
