Milbank High School - Kennel Yearbook (Milbank, SD)

Page 6 text:

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.

Board of Education Curtis A. 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
