KENNEL VOLUME XXX MILBANK HIGH SCHOOL, MILBANK, SOUTH DAKOTA WORK WEEK AT THE KENNEL Welcome to a week at MHS, a typical week! and full of exuberance. The books are set aside As the alarm clock incessantly rings and awak and forgotten until late Sunday night. Again, ens each MHS'er at various hours of a Monday the clock incessantly rings, and yet another morning, the week has begun. To the ring of the week at MHS has begun, first bell, students gather in classes, grumbling John and Mary, two fictitious characters typ and scowling. With this grumpy Monday dispos- ical of MHS students, make their way through a ition, the week slowly moves into pace. Tuesday school week in the stories found in the following and Wednesday find the MHS'ers back in a pages. routine of classes, noon hours, meetings, tests. Just as the days go by, the weeks pass simul and athletic practices. The time creeps along at taneously. The MHS school year begins inching a snail's pace until the passage of a hump along in August. As books are distributed in day as Wednesday is often called. As Thursday each class, May seems ages away. Celebrations dawns, spirits brighten somewhat. The weekend come and go. But, in fact, the weeks will pass is within view! The momentum builds and soon rather quickly. Students get wrapped up in aca it's Friday! MHS students excitedly wait for demic work and extracurricular-activities. 3:30 and plan activities to fill their weekend. Sports, clubs, music, theater, homework, and On Saturday, a day almost synonymous to free friends take up everyone's time. dom, MHS'ers are in the height of their glory But students' interests aren't limited to high 2 school life. They become involved in community and state events. Some seniors had the oppor tunity to help vote the Ronald Reagan-George Bush team into the presidency. Even though we were all counted in the 1980 census. South Dakota's population dropped, and we lost one representative. MHS'ers were also exposed to world events. They watched the continuing hostage crisis in Iran and the I ran-Iraq war. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan brought the question of war home, for eighteen year olds had to register for the draft. The invasion also caused the U.S. to boycott the Summer Olympics. Although it was a disappointment for the athletes, it united the American people to a greater spirit of patriot- ism. Just like Mt. St. Helen in Oregon, the crime rate has erupted. Milbank has felt that rise in rural crime mainly through vandalism and theft. Milbank High School and Junior High were broken into. The amount of money that was stolen did not even come close to the amount of damage that was done. The Student Council and the School Board together offered a $500 re- ward for information. Other buildings in town were also broken into. New trends and styles have also appeared in Milbank. The commercialized West is the big gest style to hit. Cowboy boots aren't just worn with jeans now but usually with dresses. The end of 1980 saw the death of John Len- non but a revitalized era for the Beatles' music.

Freshman.. Sophomore Basic Skills Organization Activities At the Year's End...... Sponsors MONDAY Get out of that bed, right now! John had heard that five times already that Monday. The fact was that he had to get up soon to finish the homework he had put off all weekend. He drug himself out of bed and managed to get dressed and grab a piece of toast on his way out. He drove to school that day and got there an hour before his first class. As it turned out, he had about ten minutes to talk to Mary. She told him all about her first two hours of the day. She had MORNING DRAGS ON gotten up a little earlier than usual to finish a book report that she didn't do over the weekend. She was mad because her curling iron had a short in it and wouldn't get hot. But, even though she was having a bad day, she had the time to eat breakfast. Her girlfriends had come and gotten her on time that morning, so they had some time to cruise and catch up on the weekend gossip. As they talked about the coming weekend, some of their friends came, and they decided to go to class. First hour was the worst class because it was so boring. They brought some books to lean on while the morning an- nouncements were read. Upper Left: Jay Fields' typical Monday expression. Below: Susan Nef reveals her true self. Lower Left: Mr. Stanley reads the morning announcements. ACTIVITIES GET THE BALL ROLLING MHS students, John and Mary, were kept busy with classroom assignments. Of course, they spent their free time wisely by reading magazines and talking about how rough their classes were. During long study hours, Mary could be seen running through the halls trying to make it to her APS, FBLA, and paper staff meetings, all at the same time. John, in the meantime, went to a wrestling meeting and later caught the last few minutes of the Key Club meeting. Since school days were not too thrilling, many kids were seen passing notes back and forth behind the teachers' backs. John and Mary participated in the tradition, too. Dear John, Today at the dinner table, I sat in the same place with the same people and the same food. What a hum drum day! At least I can look forward to some good food at the candy sale!

After school John and Mary walked hand-in-hand to the gym, where John had wrestling practice-the last day before the matches and basketball games. Some of John's friends had chores to do at home after school, so they couldn't participate in any sports. Mary headed for the door with her friends. They worked at the local drugstore. Finally, it was the day all students pray for: FRIDAY! The MHS theme song, ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST, blared through the cars as they cruised the four lanes because Milbank had emerged victorious in both wrestling and basketball. The crowd had shown its approval with shouts and cheers. Later, John and Mary went to Trevett's to eat. They dropped in at the Open Door to talk with a couple of friends. After a while John and Mary cruised until they saw John's friends, so they stopped at the turnaround to see what was going on. They all decided to celebrate their victory at a friend's house. Below: Left: R-E-D Red, H-O-T Hot! Once we start, we can't be stopped! Below: J. Erdmann, J. Aesoph plan their weekend activities. First you go one mile south. Then turn at the grove of trees, go a quarter of a mile ... Oh hi, Mr. Bergan! I didn't see you stand- ing there!! We were just talking about the game Friday night . . . Grove of trees? What grove of trees?! 9 WEEKENDS OFFER RELEASE Freedom from school at last! And a Satur- day, too! What could be better? John took ad- vantage of the holiday and slept in. Mary wasn't so lucky, on the other hand. After a couple of yells from Mom, she had to get up to go to work again. When John finally rolled out of bed, he stopped by at the drugstore to see Mary to make plans for the evening. He then went to the city aud. to play racquetball with his friends, lift weights, and to generally goof around. John and Mary went to a movie, and later went to Trevett's for dinner. Their friends came in to use the facilities, despite the glares of the waitresses. Saturdays are also spent at wrestling matches, gymnastics meets, basketball games, and track meets. Kids often get home early Sunday morning and usually make it to church. Then it's time to start the new week.

Brakke, C. Nigg, W. Beck, and B. Jaskulka. Middle: Bright eyes (?) are greeted by M. Smart, who oversees detention. Detention is given for such things as three tardies (one hour), unexcused absences (three hours for each hour missed) and dismissal from a class room (three hours for being kicked out and three hours for each additional day not admitted back into class). So some kids have to get up early just to be in time to make up time. This is a good chance for kids to catch up on book reports and other school work. D. DeJong, V. Welch, M. Smart, and J. Trevett.

In his first year at MHS, Dale Mette taught Art I and II. He was a graduate of Dakota State College with a BS degree. Drafting taught students the correct use of drafting tools, how to make drawings, floor plans, and pictoral drawings. Auto Mechanics I and II taught the repairing of cars and the use of car parts. This year's Art I students worked with char- coal, pen and ink, watercolors, and clay. Art II students chose their own projects to work on.

His classes included Wood Shop I and II, which covered hand tools, power tools, and design, and carpentry, a short offering to the beginning carpenter in Woodshop I class. Mr. Brakke's special interests included horses and saddle-making. Bob Jaskulka has been at MHS for four years, he graduated from SDSU in 1977. He taught Vo Ag Agriculture I, II, III, and IV, which were designed for the farm oriented stu- dents. Topics included soils, animals, science, livestock, machinery, and farm management. Each student was encouraged to become active in FFA. Semester courses in welding, electri- city, and electronics were available to juniors and seniors. These courses were introductory in nature and emphasized safety and methods in materials being utilized. CHOIRS ATTAIN EXCELLENCE The high school and junior high choral de partments were headed by Judy Mathers. Whether students took choir for enjoyment or to learn more about music itself, they studied the essentials of this disciplined art form. Maybe without realizing it, they gained technical and artistic knowledge plus a foreign language and a sense of teamwork. Mrs. Mathers says of her A Cappela Choir, Every choral department spends three to four years building. At the end of that time the result is a very special choir. That's where we are! We're at the top! The last time a choir sings is always special, but when this choir sings at graduation, there'll be alot of tears in alot of eyes. M. Bock. Right: N. Mueller, M. Dorsett, J.

Schulte, K. Farrell, L. Jacobson, D. Berens, L. Grothe. BAND INSPIRES TALENT Al Stewart directed Band, Jazz Band, Stage Band, and led Drill Team. He graduated from Southwest State University. Mr. Stewart based his grading system on merit and demerit points. Merits were received because of good playing and attitude, concert attendance, and for playing at out-of-school activities. Demerits were given if students didn't do the expected, or for not going to weekly sectionals. Another part of Mr. Stewart's direction was Drill Team, which received new flags this year. A small fuss was made because the flags weren't school colors. Eventually multi-colored flags were settled on. Above Right: S. Mueller, H. Richardt, J. Torgerson, T. Smith, 0. Giesert, C. Myers, S.

Smith handed these policies down to the principals, who made rules within the limits of the board's policies. This year a new policy which allowed for the growth of well kept moustaches and beards was adopted. This policy applied to teachers and students alike. One of the key issues confronting the school board was the Dakota Proposition. The initi- ated measure, providing for a general property tax reduction, would have taken much state funding from the schools. However, in the No- vember 4 election, Dakota Proposition was defeated. As a point of historical interest, the central building, which served as the high school for many years, was demolished. m David Bergan, an SDSU graduate, has been a part of the administration since 1969. Before becoming high school principal, he spent three years as principal of the junior high. Marlin Smart was the assistant principal and director of special services. Mr. Smart has a BA from Jamestown College and a Master's de gree from SDSU. Oscar Dickhaut served as the junior high prin- cipal. He has been a part of the MHS faculty for twenty years. Mr. Dickhaut instructed American Government until 1975. Above Left: 0. Dickhaut, D. Bergan, and M. Smart watch over the fans and the game at the same time. Above Right: Rev. H. Verhulst, L.

CLASSES The Kennel poll conducted in November, to which 151 females and 141 males of the 440 students enrolled responded, revealed a gross weight of 19.47 tons, or an average weight of 133.3. pounds. Our median height was 5'7 . Blue eyes prevailed with 127 of the 292 people surveyed claiming recognition. Brown-haired people numbered 127, but 89 blondes were also found! When asked, Do you drink? 175 said. Yes, but 115 said, “No. Students who smoked numbered a mere 51 with 292 students responding negatively. President-elect Reagan was supported by 172 students. Sixty-four did not like him, and 51 were indifferent. Favorite songs included Another One Bites the Dust, All Out of Love, and Jessie. Top singers were Billy Joel, Queen, and Air Supply. Top movies were Smokey and the Bandit, Cheech and Chong, and The Champ. Best-liked actors actresses included Burt Reynolds, Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood, and Sally Fields, Bo Derek, Lonni Anderson.

The class of '86 might take the world by surprise someday A dream of Denise Schmig's was to be on the U S. Olympic basketball team Pan Skoog's aspiration was to be a professional rodeo star But for now, it was hit the books! English, Life Science Math, Social Studies, and P E were required for these future-minded seventh graders. Most of the teens were crazy about pizza, tacos, and spaghetti. With this diversity, the class was ready for the eighth grade Officers: K Moldenhauer, v. pres.; D. Dockter, J. Schmidt, reps.; D. Lardy, pres.; N Seehafer, treas.; L. Unzen, sec.

All eighth graders took English, Earth Science, Math, History, P E , and Typing, but more electives were offered than before such as Communications, where students studied forms of creative writing as they constructed their junior-high newspaper Many felt that the shorter home room and the change to a fifty minute class period enabled students to have more time to spend with each teacher for help Student council planned many activities throughout the year. The candy sales helped to raise money for the council activities With all their academic and 'extra curricu- lar experiences,” the eighth graders were ready for change Ready or not, here comes high school!

She said they seemed to be concerned about passing their freshman year Mr Hadorn pointed out that the fresh- man class had strong academic potential, but they lacked leadership within the class. The freshmen had English, IPS, PE and Algebra I as their required courses. Home Ec was a strong elective for the girls. Other elec- tives such as German 1, Spanish I, Wood Shop, Ag I, and Art were participated in. The favorite out-of-school activity was fighting, yes. fighting1 The class claimed fight- ing is a sport for guys and girls whether it's physical or verbal Their defensive ability came m handy because this year, more than ever the freshmen got a taste of the old tradition of initiation, even two or three times Upset parents got into the act by calling the police or grounding their son or daughter The only consolation for the class was that next year they'll be able to dole out the same medicine to the new underclassmen Did you see the note he sent me?

Being a sophomore means being beaten in EVERY competition at EVERY pep rally! quoted Jenny Whitlow Well, being a soph- omore wasn't all that bad It just happened to be the last year of P E., and the last 12- mmute run English II. Typing, P E and World Regions were the only required classes, so the rest of the day may be filled with electives like Span- ish, German. Art. Music, Debate, or Auto Me- chanics. This year's sophomore class was active in paper staff and various sports activities. Girls' basketball held a great interest with the girls playing on the junior varsity team. The guys participated in a number of sports ranging from football to wrestling to golf Some clubs available for the sophomores were AFS, Key Club, and German Club. Since being a sophomore meant being wise and foolish at the same time, were they wise fools or did they contain foolish wisdom Mrs. Reidburn decided. These kids are more in- volved with the issues of life. The class of '83 had the satisfaction of knowing they weren't foolish anymore If you ever do that again, you're gonna be ea- tin' dirt, buddy!

This year, the only two required courses were American History and English III. The ju- niors have shown their expertise in activities like drama, show choir, cheerleading, sports, and debate Their outstanding teamwork brought them the first place Homecoming float and the window competition last fall. This year, was one of new experiences The junior girls fought hard in the Powder Puff game, but fate and the senior girls were against them, so they lost 14 to 6 Prom was another “biggy on the list, with the girls dying to be asked, and the guys being positive “she'll say no. Career days were attended in hopes of getting a free pen or pencil with little attention paid to the films and lectures After eleven years of school, the juniors were ready to take over as rulers of MHS.

Scott Smith's favorite saying, was often repeated in the Basic Skills class, according to teacher, Carol Nigg Ms Nigg has taught this class for three years. It's a real challenge. I like the attitude of my kids They're all willing to try again and again. Books were not a favorite, so records, film- strips and games such as Concentration and Clue were used to help the students think and learn The class also learned day-to-day skills such as cooking and health as well as aca- demic skills. Hobbies included macrame, hunt- ing. and cars. Fun activities involving many of the students included the annual Special Olympics where, besides the sporting competition, a dance was held with no observers, all participants. Ms. Nigg said If I could have a wish. I'd wish the kids could be more involved socially in the high school. And this piece goes here! J. Schmeichel, J. Jensen, M. Frost, M. Lewno, D. Gertsema, G.

Well seniors, we're finally here! We've made it to the top, even if it may have taken us twelve years. Remember how we cried on the first day of kindergar- ten! But we were O.K. after we realized our day consisted of playtime, recess, milk breaks, recess, gym, recess, show and tell, recess, nap time, and recess. Oh, the complexity of it all! Moving up in the academic world, our days contained more mathematics. We added lunch and subtracted two recesses. Our biggest moment in grade school was when we were being applauded by a vast audience at our bicen- tennial operetta. Our eighth grade diplomas changed us from a number to a word: freshmen. Our most cherished memories began here. We lost hours of sleep because of English papers, book reports, and make-up slips that had to be done. Math and science tests came and went, always with questions on the part of the chapter we hadn't studied. But as said before, seniors, we made it. For some of us, '80-'81 was a sad year. We may not have realized it, but we did a lot of things for the last time: the last Prom, the last concert, and the last chance to see some of our friends. Once again, time continues and we must say good-bye. Looking back, this was our year, our best year! Three nostalgic seniors. L. Aden, J. Aesoph, S. Beare, and C.

A new Homecoming spirit builder this year was the win- dow decorating contest, sponsored by the Student Council. They had each grade do two windows at the stores. The artistic juniors took first place; sophomores took second. Seniors had the most original window and the freshmen won best theme. Juniors won first in the float competition with sophomores receiving second and freshmen taking third. The Coronation was emceed by Todd Price and Holly Richardt. The A cappella choir sang Home on the Range in eight parts and jazz band played “How the West Was Won. Square dancers from Oklahoma sang The Bull- dogs and the Tigers Can't Be Friends. At the culmination of the evening Kraig Thorson and Linda Jacobs were crowned as the 1980 Homecoming Royalty. The victory dance was held after the game, with the group The Pond Brothers. The Bulldogs skinned the not-so- ferocious Groton Tigers, fifty-two to zip. This is just added proof that this is Bulldog country. Above: “Oh, we're not ones to go 'round spreading rumors . . . J.

All three sports had successful seasons, but the great- est victory was for football, where MHS cap- tured the NEC championship title' Middle: De- nise Sillman, a young MHS gymnast, completed a lay-out sommie in her floor rou- tine This season, gymnastics grew in popu- larity and expertise.

Another One Bites the Dust' was a motto determinedly carried out by the Bulldog grid- ders in their 1980 season After a slow start during which the team lost two Conference games, the Bulldogs went on to snap up seven victories What caused the super turnabout? Said Coach Nelson, We found the key that wins football games confidence believing m your teammates and coaches and, most of all, believing in yourself This confidence led the team to winning the NEC Championship. MHS's first conference title since 1968 Over the season, the Bulldogs, in 473 plays. completed 82 passes for a new school record of 1459 yards and rushed 1482 yards to rack up a total of 21 points. Joel Erdmann, Kraig Thorson, and Jeff Jones acted as team tn-captains. Jason Ae- soph gained the spot as the 4th best receiver in MHS history Jones, also named Most Valuable Player, was MHS's 4th best passer Other awards included J Erdmann, defensive back, S Meyer, defensive lineman; M Bock, offensive lineman, and K Thorson, offensive back Thorson became the 9th best rusher in MHS football Top Left Why are M Dorsett.

There were four freshmen, two sophomores, three juniors and three seniors. Coach Sunne commented, We re going to lose a few se- niors next year, but a lot of freshmen came out for the team I think we'll look pretty good returning next year Three members qualified to go to State The two who went, Todd Dravland and John Halverson, received good placings and scored at the tournament 70 TEAMS PROSPER New head coach, Dick Wherry, trained the Cross Country team this year.

John Trevett, at 155 pounds, contributed to the season with a first place at the NEC tour- nament m Clark He also wrestled well through the season, winning most of his matches Much improvement was seen in Bob Beyer and Oon Waletich The entire team did exceedingly well this year We've done better than expected this sea- son, Coach T Upton said After graduating nine starters, people expected us to be down, but we re not. This year's team was young, only six seniors were on the squad A lot went into being a good wrestler Mostly, it was mental attitude If it was good, that took over the physical end Dedication was another aspect It took a lot of work at practices with weight lifting wrestling, and running The hardest part was having enough willpower to cut weight. Next year looks good for the lower weights, but much co-operation will be required Gymnast ics Stats Varsity J.V.

The junior varsity team is now performing at a higher level of competition than the varsity was two years ago. That in itself should speak of the strides the varsity and the junior varsity teams have made With the depth our team now has, gymnastics will be looking good at MHS in the years to come.

The best of those victories was having beaten Britton in their home territory for the first time in five years with a score of 54 to 50! The high scorers were Steve Meyer with 13 points, Dan Snaza and Joel Erdmann with 12 each, and Steve Beare with 10 Snaza pulled down 15 rebounds and Meyer had 7. Another game that stood out in MHS's mind was against Watertown Milbank, after being behind by 7 points and with three minutes left to play, defeated the Arrows 54 to 52! Beating Ortonville this season added two more notches to the Bulldogs' collar. MHS's leading scorers were Dan Snaza with 13 and Steve Beare with 9 Snaza also headed the rebounding list along with Meyer Kraig Thorson, and Jeff Jones. Jones led the team with five assists. The team's field goal per- centage was 41V . Towards the end of the Bulldogs' season. Coach Warren Quail commented that the team was preparing hard for the Sectional Tourna- ments at Sisseton. 77 arsity Stats I Opponent r Britton 33 45 •Ortonville 44 52 Webster 53 54 •Clear Lake 68 56 Redfield 65 46 Clark 66 40 Sisseton 53 44 Groton 37 43 Roncalli 45 54 Britton 50 54 • Watertown 52 40 Webster 58 61 •Ortonville 52 66 Redfield 50 44 Groton 43 54 Clark 49 Sisseton 40 55 Roncalli -SECT10NALS- 49 Sisseton 54 59 Watertown 61 • non-conf erence Top Left Classy jumps and jazzy steps, that is what cheerleaders are made of!

They also organized pep rallies, sponsored dances, and designed posters throughout the year The cheerleaders assumed some extra duties from the Pep Club, which was dropped early in the year due to a lack of interest Does this lack of interest suggest a decrease in school spirit’ The cheerleaders' general feeling was that our spirit was down the ma- jority of the time From game to game energy was next to nothing Enthusiasm at pep rallies was low as it was at the games themselves ‘Fans'' spent more time visiting than backing up the athletes Winning seemed to be the key. Mel Schell commented. After the team started winning, then everybody decided maybe the guys were worth cheering for. Ad- visor Trudy Ogren agreed that the spirit was good, but only when we were ahead Little spirit; few wins. Few wins, little spirit. Top Left Boys' A Basketball Cheerleaders: L.

Most mem- berships in inactive clubs were students who merely wished to be in the yearbook. The annual staff considered this in selecting its snapshots. Group shots were taken ONLY of clubs and or- ganizations whose total membership worked to accomplish something during the year. This is not to say that certain individuals within each group did not work industriously Or give their all ' Top: The German food-fest, an idea introduced by advisor Herr Kleinsasser, delighted club mem- bers and their parents.

The Invisible Drag- on, one of MHS's first attempts toward chil- dren's theater, was set in a once upon a time setting where everyone was happy because they were trying to make others happy-everyone, that is, except the Princess. She was not happy. All she could think of was herself. A visiting Prince, searching for a dragon, afforded this unhappy Princess an opportunity to help others and, nat- urally, everything turned out well. Top: The Prince, R. Haase, searches for a dragon to slay in an ef- fort to impress the Princess, S. Hanson. Story- teller C. DeBoer, far left, narrates the adventure. Cast members included C. DeBoer, Storyteller: R. Haase, Prince; S. Hanson, Princess; P. Lesnar, King; H. Richardt, Queen; K. Burdick, elf-stage manager, as well as townspeople, R. Van Sambeek, L. Gonzenbach, R. Van Sambeek, and the entire cast of Magic Theater. Vanities, MHS' entry in the State One Act Contest held February 5-7 in Aberdeen, drew critics' praise for H. Richardt as superior leading actress and I. Gonzenbach as superior supporting actress. These girls and their companion, C. My- ers, portrayed three senior cheerleaders whose outstanding characteristic was-you guessed it- vanity. At right center, H. Richardt muses, I just can't imagine not being popular. L. Willing- ham, the voice offstage, K. Burdick, assist, direc- tor, M. Layher, costumes, and T. Dravland, stage crew, completed the production.

Its editors, Jill Pinkert and Susan Holtzmann, have taken on the responsibilities of the paper, with help from Marge Bohn, the ad- visor. Holtzmann and Pinkert attended a summer camp on journalism which taught them how to write stories more effectively and how to put to- gether a more modern layout. As Susan Holtz- mann said, it generally taught them “how to put a paper together. Mrs. Bohn said their goal was to make THE BULLDOG a more professional pa- per. The staff included stories on issues that af- fected the students such as abortion and the drinking age. With these improvements, the paper can look forward to a great future. f : y 1 85 SPEAKERS PROGRESS MHS's unsung heroes of declam and debate outdid themselves this year. The coach, Doug Tschetter, stated that both declam and debate had a progressive season. We got better as time went along. We're looking for a good year next year, too! Monica Kruger, Hope Richardt, and Todd Price went to the State Contest for declam, where they received excellents. Kruger competed in oratory, while Richardt and Price competed in duet interp. The debaters placed second in the Con- ference, after Watertown. They also went into the National Forensics League, (NFL), where Neil Mueller placed fourth in humorous, Monica Kru- ger received seventh in women's extemp, and Rick Haase placed eighth in original oratory. All in all, the Bulldog debate teams had a good sea- son and have a lot to look forward to. Top Left: C. Van Sambeek. Top Right: R. Haase. Center: Debate Team: Front: L to R: K. Mueller, M.

We began with the idea of representing this year in our school as accurately as possible. Many new things were tried this year. We tried for the out-of-the-ordinary ideas. This book was made in an individualistic style, the layout and design being very unique. The copy, written in a style that would best represent that division, was no easy task. The writers had to dig to find inter esting things about the everyday events. Mr. Pribyl, advisor for twenty-eight years, tru- ly knows the rewards and burdens that go along with making an annual. So many take what the staff does for granted. Many hours were spent before, during, and after school long into the night. For what little recognition the staff re- ceives, I want to dedicate this Kennel to them, the staff, for all of their time and efforts. For all the hard times, there were as many good times. Mr. Pribyl's surprise rolls were al- ways warmly welcomed and appreciated. Times remembered by the staff will be the typist strikes, lost negatives, late copy, and our trips out to Lake Farley to get our staff photo taken TWICE!! For all the efforts I would like to thank the staff once more. THANK YOU!! Editor-in-Chief Chris Stehly Right: Annual Staff: L to R: In tree: Photo Ed., Bus. Mgr. L. Folk; L. Koepke; Bus. Mgr. D.

President. Neither won. A new thing has started. A DECA student of the month has been added. Most of the students have never worked before their DECA job. Eleven out of twenty one hadn't. Some new employers have hired students. There were eight new work stations. DECA Mem- bership: D. Buth, P. Berens, S. Schneck, R. Lin- dell, P. Trevett, D. Rethke, J. Leddy, C. Tempel, K. Tobin, J.

She liked MHS and all, and she also thought that Milbank was a pretty nice town. Al though she missed her family during her stay here, she had a nice family substitute here too! She lived with the Kermit Johnson family. Center Right: Another AFS student spent a year here at MHS, Marcelo Benetiz Montarrey. He came to us from Mexico. Marcelo soon became interested in our school subjects. He especially liked photo- graphy and was on the Annual photography staff. Like anyone that far from home, he missed his family. The O'Conner family supplied guidance while he visited here. Marcelo admitted he liked the life style here at MHS. I like the U.S. a lot, especially the pizza. I don't like the milk ' Bot tom: V. Cardosa de Oliveria, M. Benetiz Montar- rey, Jorge Predo. Jorge Predo was a foreign ex- change student from Mexico City, Mexico. He at- tended MHS last year to improve his English skills. When asked of his impression of Milbank, Jorge replied, I think it is a wonderful place and the people are great, just great! 92 AT THE YEAR’S END 93 INDEX Aden, Angela Soph 40. 83 Aden.
