Debra and Roxanne z Faculty and Administration Dr. E. A. Johnson President Dr. N. C. Madsen Vice-President Stanley Houck James Adler Verne Beare Board of Education Through the leadership of the Board of Education, the Milbank Schools have moved steadily forward in an ef- fort to provide a continually improving, more useful ed- ucation forthe public school student. This year emphasis was placed upon the development of the type of education which would provide the student with the tools to be- come a productive, self-reliant and useful citizen. As major projects such as the building of the Koch Elementary School addition and the remodeling of the present Junior High building were completed, the Board of Education concentrated its efforts on the constant need of curriculum revision. Changes were made in both mandatory and elective classes, with most of the em- phasis being placed on the expansion of curriculum in several elective fields, enabling the student to become further involved in areas of his choosing. Additional high school elective courses were added in the areas of debate, public speaking, art II, the theatre arts, and biological sciences. One instructor was added to the high school staff in the area of forensics and public speaking. However, changes were not restricted to the high school alone. The junior high curriculum was in- creased by the addition of shop, home economics, pub- lic speaking, and creative reading classes. In addition to curriculum development, many new teaching methods were introduced during the year. An Early Childhood Program was instituted in the kinder- garten area to determine the educational level of each student and provide a program based on the resulting in- formation. Physical education was extended through the kindergarten; experiments in team-teaching, self- pacing, contract teaching, the use of teacher aids, multi-texts and individualized instruction were initiated. Also, the linguistics English program was extended throughout the elementary grades. The school has also made use of the computers of the Milbank Mutual Insurance Company. This year the computer assisted in the school district census, financial accounting, a complete library inventory, grade re- porting, plus the annual task of student scheduling in both the junior and senior high schools. As the needs of our society change, the public schools must change to provide the student with meaningful activities and experiences. By assuming the increasingly important role of providing a quality education, the Board of Education is opening new horizons for the Mil- bank students. Continuous progress, through ever in- creasing commitment, seems to be the motto of the Board. 4 George Smith South Dakota State University, M.E. Superintendent Arthur B.

The credit for the out- standing appearance of Milbank High School goes to our custodians. These caretakers of MHS keep literally every corner of our school spotlessly clean and regulate all the complicated machinery in the furnace room. Preparing food for over 500 students daily is no easy task. Despite this fact, our experienced cooks have continual ly provided nutritious food and excellent service to the students. In addition to serving daily meals, they also provide special lunches for various holidays.

For the freshman, however, it was a time of anxiety for it marked the beginning of four reward- ing, though at first awesome, years at Milbank High School. Despite their initial uneasiness, the freshmen willingly shouldered the responsibilities which accompany high school students. After becoming oriented to the daily routine of classes and homework, they found that they had ample time to participate in a wide variety of extracurricular activities. The freshmen learned how to function as a working group through their mutual construction of a float to be entered in a competition with others in the Homecoming parade. They were active in novice debate as well as declamation, band, and chorus. Many boys began to develop their athletic skills through active involvement in freshman football, basketball, and wrestling. In addition to actual participation in numerous activ- ities, the zealous spirits and the unwavering enthusiasm of the freshmen spurred the MHS athletes on to victory. With the completion of their first successful year at Milbonk High School, the freshman class eagerly anticipates even greater accom- plishments next year. 19 Freshmen Douglas Miller Katherine Mitchell Michael Moldenhauer Barbara Mangold Larry Montag Ruth Mueller Timothy Mueller Steven Mullen Susan Mundwiler Nadine Nelson Terry Nelson Sheila Oehler Thomas O'Shaughnessy Daniel Patridge Roger Pauli Terence Peterson Norma Pinkert Duane Pollock Sheryl Prasnicki Linda Pribbenow Wayne Ramsey James Reed Joel Reil Teresa Rethke Thomas Rethke Rhonda Rieck Rebecca Schad Marilyn Scheef Robert Schell Jean Schiefelbein Steven Schmidt Keith Schneck Stephanie Schreiner Richard Schultz JoAnn Searcy Steven Selgeby Linda Siewert Charles Speidel Linda Springer Terri I Steinlicht Cynthia Stengel Alonzo Stewart 20 Sue Strain David Strege Mary Thiele James Tillman William Tostenson Renae Trapp Lesley Ann Treis Gerold Vissers Marie Weber Joyce Wellnitz Cheryl Whiting Linda Whiting Freshmen Shirley Whiting Vickie Wibbens Steven Selgeby, Don't squeeze the Charmin!

Realizing the importance of a good education, the sophomores have set their goals and are striving to attain them. The Class of '71 continued to develop their potential abilities by partici- pating in various activities. Many gained valuable experience in the field of interpretation by taking part in debate and declamation. Football, basketball, and wrestling attracted a great number of sophomore boys. They should be commended for the sportsmanlike conduct they displayed during the course of the year. Two sophomores were members of the one-act ploy cast while several others served as Bulldog staff reporters. Members of the class were also octive in band, chorus, German Club, and other school clubs and organizations. The sophomores received honorable mention for their entry in the float division of the Homecoming parade. The social highlight of the sophomore year was serving at the Junior-Senior Prom. Having reached the mid point of their high school career, the sophomore students await recognition as upperclassmen next year.

They ac- cepted their increased responsibi lities with both pride and a determination to succeed. Possessing the largest class enrollment proved to be an asset for Mil- bank High School's juniors. For the second time, their ingenuity enabled them to win first prize in the float competition of the Homecoming pa- rade. Their artistic ability was again revealed through the meticulous execution of the Junior-Senior Prom theme. Funds for the prom, a tra- ditional tribute to the seniors from the juniors, were raised chiefly through production of the Junior Class Play. The juniors reaped abundant benefits as a resultof their newly achieved status as upperclassmen. They were eligible to receive such honors as National Honor Society memberships, and selection as delegates to Girls' and Boys' State. In addition, many juniors participated in declamation, debate, athletics, Future Business Leaders of America, Future Home- makers of America, Future Farmers of America, the Bulldog, German Club, tumbling, cheerleading, band, chorus, as well os numerous other high school clubs and organizations. With one fruitful year of high school remaining, the juniors continue to progress toward their ultimate goal, graduation. 27 Juniors Charles Lunderville Patricia Marquardt Theresa Martin Duane Mielitz James Miller Stephen Miller Grant Modin Charles Mohler Keith Moser Richard Mosey Lorraine Mueller Virginia Mueller Marlene Murley Charles Natalie Kim Nelson Marsha Olson Margaret O'Shaughnessy Daniel Ponsch Jeffrey Pansch Peggy Parker David Pauli Elizabeth Pay James Pinkert Richard Prasnicki David Ramsey Julie Redmond Joyce Reese Barbara Reil Mary Kay Rethke Roger Sackreiter Phyllis Scheef Charles Schell Mary Schell Nancy Schiefelbein Sharon Schmeichel Gregory Schmitt Donna Schultz Steven Schultz Phyllis Schumacher Barbara Schwandt Susan Schwandt Linda Seezs Juniors Jim Settje Mark Sieverson Patricia Sorsen Michael Spahr Mark Speirs Suzanne Stengel Timothy Stengel Jeon Stocking Donald Strege Reid Strege Gregory Strobl Michael Szymanski Lynda Thiele Dorothy Thompson Marcia Thompson Robert Tillman Garry Trapp Larry Trapp Arlys Tulowetzke Lorene Unzicker Sue VanderVelden Rebecca Van Erem James Van Hoorn Mary Van Ray Rene Van Sombeek Ruth Van Sambeek Mark Wellnitz Teresa Westphal Roy Whiting Mark Wilson Vicki Wittrock Not Pictured: Dwight Nash 29 3 Nancy Emanuel Ronald Van Hoorn Joyce Damerow Seniors John Rethke David Engebretson Class Officers: John Hurley, President, Debra Bracht, Secretary Bruce Folk Daniel Kasuske Judy Marquardt Dennis Amberg Ramona Sawrey David Pinkert Vicki Drummond JoAnn Winquist Seniors Rebecca Dornbusch Barbara Schneck Class Officers: Karla Trapp, Treasurer; Gary Englund, Vice-President Brenda Hedman Richard Skaarer Colette Nordquist Paulette Siewert Thorval Moldrem, John Peterson, and Deborah Judith Redmond Roger Reiners Rethke, Allen Remund Marsha Martin Harold Vissers Vincent Meyer Roxanne Stengel Linda Johnson Lowell Wojahn Dwight Frickson Deborah Martin Seniors Earl Selchert Linnea Enquist Ronald Helmbrecht Franklin Hermans Michael Pauli Deborah Eng Edward Van Sambeek Lynelle Buchele Gary Englund Seniors Terisha Karges Patricia Johnson Barbara Homan Steven Searcy to school.

However, through the guidance and understanding they received from the faculty and theirfellow students, they became confident and able individuals who proved themselves worthy of praise by gaining recognition in many fields. Members of the class were active in athletics, band, chorus, National Honor Society, Student Council. annual staff, paper staff, debate, and numerous other organizations. The Student of the Month Program and Student Government Day were sponsored by the Kiwanis Club for the benefit of the seniors. Money-raising projects for the three day trip to Chicago March 27-29 required hard work by the seniors. Among these projects were the class play, candy sales, sale of Christmas wreaths, and the bas- ketball concession stand. The ultimate goal of the Class of 1969 was reached on May 28, when they were presented their diplomas at graduation exercises.

The Bulldogs were not shoot- ing well and that, coupled with the Cobblers' towering height advantage, proved too much for them, losing 79- 44. The next evening, March 15, Mil- bank met Belle Fourche for the 3rd place spot in the state. Belle also had a height advantage and nosed out the Milbank five 56-50. Thus the Bull- dogs received the 4th place standing in the tourney.

(5' 8 ) Track and field is an area of sports where each boys' abilities are put to the test. His will power and deter- mination to do the best he possibly can builds his morale to a peak. Milbank was fortunate to have many returning letter- men on the squad this year. Minor award winners and junior high award winners also came up to fill in the gaps left by the graduates. The Bulldogs had a well-balanced running team coupled with an equally good field events squad. Many trophies were brought back this year to add to the growing collection in our trophy case. Old standards for events were torn down, giving way to new and better records. Records were tied and many were broken as the track season progressed.

The Mini-Stripes also performed at the Milbank Snow Queen Contest, where they were chosen to represent Milbank at the state contest in the junior talent division. In competition at the state contest they placed third out of 12 entries. They also sang during the Sweetheart Ball Coronation. Athletic Exploits are Rewarded The annual Athletic Banquet, sponsored by the Com- merce and Community Club, was held last November to honor the athletes of Milbank High School. The theme chosen was Thanksgiving for the Bulldogs. Guest speaker at the banquet was former MHS coach Rollie Greeno, now athletic director and head football and track coach at Jamestown College. During his nine years at Milbank, Mr. Greeno's football teams won 68, lost five, and tied one. Among the 68 wins was a state- record string of 44 straight wins. His teams were credited with seven North-East Conference championships in football, and six in track. He also coached two state champion American Legion baseball teams. At James- town College, Mr. Greeno has coached the Jimmies to a 23-8 record, winning his conference the past three years. Mr. Greeno was named North Dakota Coach of the Year in 1967.

Stories concerning scholastic honors, extracurricular achievements, school news, and school life were decided upon and assigned to reporters. The written stories were corrected and edited by page editors, then typed and sent to the printers. Returning in galley form, they were once more checked for errors and arranged on the pages. The completed paper was then printed and distributed. With each issue the Bulldog staff strives toward perfection. A copy of each issue is sent to judges who examine the Bulldog for possible All-State merit. Mr. Higgins, advisor; Deborah Eng, edi- tor; Stephen Miller, assistant editor.

LIBRARY CLUB Almost every great mind has been shaped through the studious exploration of countless books. A book can of- fer to its readers adventure, enjoyment, or suspense. A good library houses many such valuable volumes. The MHS library is just such a storehouse. In order to maintain the wealth of material within its walls, a staff of devoted workers is a necessity for each library. Many students have expressed an interest in assisting in the high school library. As student librarians under the supervision of Mrs. Elsie Benda, each is a member of the library Club. This organization is devoted to the betterment of the library and the services it pro- vides. Each club member works approximately one hour per day during a free period. Their various duties in- clude repairing damaged materials, shelving returned books, and locating and checking out material for both students and faculty members.

The Student Council is a forum whereby students can express their opinions on all aspects of the high school. This year the council conducted a student opinion poll which everyone was requested to complete. The results of this survey showed what changes students desired to be initiated concerning our school. The council then compiled the conclusions and presented them to the administration. One of the im- mediate accomplishments was the publica- tion of the school lunch menu each week. In addition to this project, the Student Council was in charge of all arrangements dealing with the Homecoming festivities. As a fund-raising activity for the occasion, the council sold booster buttons. Stephen Munderloh, vice-president; Deborah Eng, treasurer Nancy Emanuel, secretary; Peter Mueller, president.

Mary Kay has played the alto saxophone for four years, and has participated in the music contest for the past three years.

The Kiwanis Club, its sponsor, worked together with the boys on many of their projects. One of the activities that the Key Club was involved in this year was the fund raising drive for a Foreign Exchange Student to attend Milbank High School next year. Organizing committees to bring other interested clubs into the combined effort for necessary funds, the Key Club spear- headed the preliminary procedures for obtaining an exchange student. The Key Club, not only plans for the future, but tackles the problems of today.

KEY CLUB GUIDES Every year the Key Club, as a service to the school, pro- vides guides for Career Day in Milbank. Many different schools attend this event and the guides direct the students to the various rooms where the programs are given. A custom of the Key Club is that the underclassmen of the organization be appointed the guides. This does not exactly please the sophomores but they admit that it is a necessary evil, but, as you see in the picture, it's not all hard work. Worked On Community Projects John Rethke and Gary Englund 74 Photographers Captured Memories On Paper CAMERA CLUB Another of the varied extracurricular activities in MHS was the Camera Club. Meeting 7:30 to 9:30 A.M. every Monday morn- ing, its members studied the equipment and methods used to transfer objects onto film. Instruction by Mr. Pribyl, provided the members with basic skills and knowledge of photography. The skill may become a vocation; it may never develop into more than a hobby. But the knowl- edge obtained is useful in later life. CAMERA CLUB Row One: Terry Englund, Timothy Mueller, Steven Selgeby.

The membership, which numbered about 50 in- cluded those students enrolled in German I and II, and those who had completed two years in German. The major project under- taken by the German Club was the raising of money for a foreign exchange student. Fund raising projects included a parachute toss during half- time at a basketball game and a slave auction.

Their activities this year included the entrance of a float in the Home- coming festivities, sponsoring the annual Parent and Son Banquet, attendance at the National and State Conventions, and co-sponsorship of the Sweetheart Ball. A highlight of their year was the observance of National FFA Week. In order to provide money for their various activities the FFA sponsored several fund-raising projects. These included selling magazines and selling concessions at all the home football games. Mr. White, the vocational agriculture instructor, is supervisor for the Future Farmers of America.

FTA Taught In Various Classes The United States is currently experiencing a great shortage of qualified teachers. Since the future success of our country depends upon competent young men and women, we must strive to ease the need for teachers in both elementary and advanced levels. This is the desire of the Future Teachers of America. Under the direction of Mr. Dickhaut, students in high school are given the opportunity to explore the teaching career. Each spring, the members of the organization are allowed to ex- perience the task of teaching in their particular field of inter- est. Given this chance, a student is able to decide if he truly wishes to assume the role of teacher as his profession. FBLA Supported Needy Families FBLA meetings are held monthly to dis- cuss business problems and to help each student evaluate the business situation in his own community. To facilitate this pur- pose, speakers from local businesses are invited to give their views. Each student is urged to participate in a lively dis- cussion during every meeting. This year's community projects included the sponsoring of a needy fa mi I y by re- membering them at Thanksgiving and Christ- mas with a basket of food and gifts. A money raising project for the Future Busi- ness Leaders was the sale of mums for the Homecoming festivities.

Their instructor, Mrs. Colberg helped them to arrange their various stunts into a smooth routine. These gymnists displayed their talents during half-time at basketball games. Once they performed their routines on the tumbling mats to music. Another time the mini-tramp and vaulting box were used. New skills gained by the tumblers this year included more complicated jumps which involved both the mini-tramp and vaulting box. 80 ALL STATE CHORUS SUPERIOR SOLOISTS Row One: Gary Englund, Marla Fritz, Nancy Brown, Thomas Allen.

The high school band began the program with a lively march, followed by the theme song. Narrator Vanessa Eslinger presented the attendants of the freshman, sopho- more, and junior classes. The mixed ensemble sang, Mr. Touchdown Milbank High preceding the introduction of the king candidates. Suspense and tension mounted as a spirited drum roll be- gan. As the balloon ascended skyward.

The class floats, the Milbank High School marching band, the King and Queen car, and the cars representing various clubs and organizations delighted both young and old. With the conclusion of the parade, students rushed back to the high school to await the results of the float com- petition. For the second consecutive year, the junior class captured first place honors. The winning floats were unable to be shown prior to the game due to the soft cinder track. JUNIOR CLASS FLOAT The ingenuity of the Junior Class enabled them to capture first prize in the float competition of the annual Homecoming parade. Their float con- sisted of a bright black and yellow clock depicting the theme, Time is Running out for the Comets. Prevailed During ng Activities SENIOR CLASS FLOAT The Senior Class's majestic flag portraying the theme, Bulldogs, We Pledge Our Allegiance to You, brought them second place in the Home- coming competition.

HOMECOMING DANCE AND GAME Victory, victory was the cry of the exultant fans as a deter- mined Milbank Bulldog squad defeated the Clark Comets by a score of 40-7 in the Homecoming game, September 20.

Roger Reiners, Karen Anderson 89 Senior Class Presented ’The Crucible’’ The dramatic abilities of the senior class showed forth in their production of Arthur Miller's play The Crucible under the direction of Miss Ellen Reed. This two act drama was pre- sented to the public on November 8th and 9th. Acruciblehas been defined as a pot of refractory material used for melting a substance or separating elements one from another, requiring a high degree of heat. When the heat of inquisition is applied to man; when the separating of the elements of man's soul and spirit begins, what is left? It depends on the man. Can he also be a re- fractory, that is resistant, material or will he, when reduced to his true elements, show the stuff he is made of, to be im- pure; to be filled with hate, fear, bigotry, and ignorance, or filled with a basic element of truth even though he is touched by evil on all sides. How can his soul survive? Every man must answer these questions for himself. Every man must know truth before he knows life, for without truth, it is no life. Using the Salem Witchcraft trials of 1692, the playwright gave us an American classic which has application every- where. A supreme test of dignity, honesty, and life itself are here at stake for a principle. Shall man shrink at evil and ignorance; or shall he stand alone and find his goodness?

The play was a two-act comedy by Kyle Crichton. The action of the play takes place in Philadelphia between 1916 and 1917. Anthony J. Drexel Biddle was a domi- neering, yet loving, father whose main interest was boxing. This fact perplexed his daughter, Cordelia, because every time she invited a boyfriend to her home, he was flattened” by her brother, Tony. Eventually though, Cordelia left home to attend school at Miss Applegate's in New Jersey. There she met Angier Duke, and the young couple fell in love. When she quit school and returned home with An- gier, problems increased and the plot was further complicated. All the prob- lems were resolved, but not until the en- tire family was in an uproar. The brilliant performances of the cast and the diligent work of those behind the scenes combined to make the play a tre- mendous success.

The Apollo of Bel lac The Apollo of Bel lac, by Jean Giraudour, was a humorous one-act play taking place in the reception room of the Inter- national Office of Inventions, Paris, France.
