Milbank High School - Kennel Yearbook (Milbank, SD)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1986 volume:

Kennel i’WK SCHOOL School Opens After Labor Day School starting in September instead of August was one of several changes that students experienced this fall. The band pe- riod was moved to the middle of the day, and long study times were dropped from the schedule. Additional changes were ob- served in the lunch program as milkshakes, a salad bar, and com- puterized lunch tickets were introduced. Changes were noticed outside the school as well as inside. The city of Milbank continued to grow with the addition of a Super 8 Motel. Plans were also made for a Food-n-Fuel quick stop, a fast food restaurant, and a new Otter Tail building. The citizens of the city were asked to vote on the Dakota Compact which was a statewide issue concerning the disposal of nuclear waste. The state also saw early campaigning for a new governor. An early winter found many farmers with portions of their crop unharvested. This served to make worse the economic crisis they were already facing. Earthquakes and mudslides in Mexico accounted for the deaths of millions, and several plane crashes also took many lives. Things were not all bad, however. Famine victims were sent millions of dollars that were raised by numerous artists who put on a benefit concert called Live-Aid. This proved successful through the support of millions of MTV viewers. Many Ameri- can farmers were also aided with a similar benefit, Farm-Aid. Summit talks between President Reagan and the Soviet leader were very positive, and plans were made for more peace talks in the future. These changes in the school, community, state, and nation only serve as a foundation to remind the readers of this publication what the fall of 1985 looked like. The yearbook staff invites the reader to review the addition- al changes, activities, and students to re- capture the 1985-86 school year. Students GIVE ME MY Page 4 Activities . . . Page 44 Academics... Page 66 Sports ... Page 96 CONTENTSJT New trends shaped stu- dents' out-of-school time. Among these trends rock videos on television were watched more than any- thing else by many stu- dents. Since the installa- tion of CRO Cable into the community's homes, MTV became even more popular since it aired nonstop twenty-four hours daily. Along the same line, movie rentals with VCR machines for at-home viewing was a popular weekend activity along with the ever popular “cruise down the four-lane. New trends were also seen in clothing. Long paisley shirts with large brooches at the collars were new styles that were often seen in the halls. Flowered blouses and all types of wildly printed jeans were in this year. Hair was bleached, cut in a bob, or styled with mousse. And even during the winter months, many came with suntans after spending hours in tanning booths at local hair salons. GIVE ME MY 5 Sixth Graders Join Middle School With the idea of bridging the gap between the self-contained elemen- tary school and the departmentalized high school, the sixth grade class was moved over to the middle school. This was the first time this grade lev- el was included in the middle school philosophy. This class filled out a survey pro- vided by the annual staff. When the students were asked about the lockers they have now over the desks they used to have, most of the students agreed that the lockers are much nicer. One student even commented that the lockers made her feel much more mature. Another student said the lockers are much nicer because they hold so much more. A surprising majority of the sixth graders stated that they don't miss having more than one recess. One student said that being able to move from one class to another is a little like a short recess. Another thing most students agreed on was that they don't miss having to form single file lines whenever they move from place to place. Some students stated they feel they have more freedom without this line forming.

The ques- tions and a sampling of responses follow. How do you like the mural? It brightens up the halls, but it's kind of strange. —Stacy Jandahl How do you like having the sixth graders in the school? I don't like it because we had to go through all those years at Koch School before we came here. —Sarah Schafte How do you like homeroom? I wish we had more study time. I also wish we had combined homerooms. —Sarah Dockter Both grades responded that school was okay, but the classes were tougher when compared to last year. Both felt there was enough time allotted to extracurri- cular activities. The seventh graders also commented that they received more study time than last year.

Staff Adds Three Members With the addition of the sixth grade to the middle school, the faculty at the middle school saw some changes. Paula Brakke, Mavis Knaus, and Joan Schwenn were transferred from the elementary school to teach the sixth graders. In addition to these three full time instructors, phy ed instructors Harvey Schaefer and Arlys Lambrechts and resource instructor Mary Lou Bullert came over from Koch School for part of the day. Jane Popowski was trans- ferred from the St. Lawrence Catholic School to instruct the Chapter I studies. Some of the middle school staff felt that the class schedules were more difficult this year as the three grade levels were excused from classes at different times. They also felt that the sixth graders entered the middle school with a good attitude and that they seemed more grown up.

Their electives included chorus, band, general business, Spanish, German, Art I, woodshop, home economics, and agriculture of which they were allowed to select two. They were required to take English I, physical science. Algebra I, Typing I, and physical education. Joining the freshman class for the first time were Wen- dy Tracy from Watertown; John Wendland, LaNae Harms, and Gina Miller from Corona; and Mike Hammerstrom from Bristol. The freshmen proved to be a spontaneous class as many of their actions were unpredictable.

A sample of the re- sponses are printed below. Sports are important because they give kids something to strive for, but sometimes too much pressure is put on winning and not just doing your best. —Carol Stemsrud It depends. There isn't enough on some of the activit- ies and yet on some there isn't a moment of peace. —Peggi Behlings No, sports are fun and give students time to get away from school for a while. —Bill Fonder There's a lot of emphasis, but never too much. —Debbie Myers No, I think that getting school spirit up is good, but a lot of times things like cross country, tennis, debate, and declam get left out. —Heather Jurgens Brad Snaza Angie Steinlicht Carol Stemsrud Kathy Stengel Rick Stinson Mike Thomas Michelle Thomas Lana Thompson Lisa Thompson April Tietjen Wendy Tracy Sandy Tschepen Tina VanHoorn Ken Vanomy Darin Veen Shawn Wagner 19 'All this homework gives me a headache!”—Sarah Letze Sophomores Add Computer to Requirements This year the sophomores found that they not only had more choices for classes, but they also had a new require- ment, a semester of computer science. This course consist- ed of learning how to use a computer and its accessories, how to write and use programs, and how to use the BASIC computer language. Other courses required of sophomores were world history, English II, and typing. Some of the electives the tenth graders could choose from were geometry, biology, chorus, band, business math, general business, and theater fundamentals. When asked how the sophomore class was unique, one faculty member stated, Their willingness for involve- ment makes them unique. This class is willing to try any- thing.

Sophs Agree on Survey On a survey given this fall, it was found that the sophomores have many similar opinions. These are some of the answers giv- en to the questions asked. Do you feel there are too many class interruptions for various activities? Yes. I think they should try to reschedule some of the games so they don't interrupt the classes. —-Kurt Horn Sometimes. Then everyone else gets behind because a few people have a game. —Shanie Genereux Do you favor fitting the band period into the middle of the day? No. I liked it better when it was in the morning because we got a lot more practice in. —Karen Lewis No. Chorus was in the morning last year. It is at noon now. It's easier to play in band in the morning than it is to sing. —Gregg Dorsett These sophomore girls are involved in a morning ritual.

Miho Morita and Elmar Henschen joined the class as one year exchange students. Mr. Warren Beck and Miss Deloris Richards served as class advisors and helped with fund raising. They also helped with prom and float construction. The required classes for the eleventh graders were Eng- lish and American History. Numerous electives filled the remaining four periods of the day. Outside of the classroom, junior involvement decreased from last year. With the exception of football, most athletic activities were affected by this. One boy and five girls were in cross country, and only three girls and five boys were involved in basketball. Gymnastics had three participants and wrestling, four.

Class Responds to Change Along with the surveys on favorites, students were asked: Do you like the improvements in the lunch program? Students responded almost unanimously, yes. Do you favor fitting the band period into the middle of the day? This question aroused a mixed response as some liked the extra study time, and others felt it cut the band period too short. Do you feel there is too much emphasis on sports at MHS? The response to this query was overwhelmingly, no.

Prom Adds Game Show The all-night prom is becoming a tradition at MHS. The prom, held on May 3, seemed to be a success as 59 couples were in attendance. The theme was 'These Dreams Are Forever ' and music was provided by Mile One. The evening began with a banquet and was followed by the Grand March and dance. Activities began at 1 a.m. and included a game show, movie, ca- sino, auction, scavenger hunt, and con- cluded with a breakfast at 5:30. Door prizes were given away during the night. Acting as co-chairmen were Deb Pagel and Becky Schneider. Prom ad- visors were Warren Beck, Deloris Rich- ards, and Janet Liebe. Michelle Schmidt, Joe Thyne. Calvin Hanson, Lacy Funk, Paul Angerhofer, Denise Sillman, and oth- er MHS juniors and seniors and their dates dance to the music of Mile One. 32 Class of 1986 Ranks Above Average After thirteen years of schooling, the class of 1986 reached the end of its high school career. It was time to move on to other things. For some this included college or vocational school, and for others, a full time job. Looking back over the past years, one could see changes in the class. One teacher described the change from the freshman to the senior year as not being much more than the natural maturing process. Another teacher agreed with this, and added, they are not as goofy as they used to be. As sophomores, the class was described as having a lot of potential in every area—music, athletics, and academ- ics. Instructors seemed to agree with this year after year. Academically, the class ranked higher than average throughout its high school career. It was reported to have a higher percentage than other classes in the 3.0 and above grade point average. The extra effort that it put into its work was said to be partially responsible for this. Guid- ance Counselor Gordon Bergquist summed it up this way, 'They came in as a good class, and they are going out as a good class. The class of 1986 gathers in the theater for a last group photo. 33 Senior Enrollment Stands at 95 Chad Brink joined the class of 1986, two students moved away, and two dropped out to make the senior enrollment 95. Described as “individuals cruising to their own beat as freshmen, this class, according to several seniors, evolved into cliques as they progressed through their high school career. The seniors' school spirit was shown through various activities. These included sporting events, pep rallies, and coronation where they put on a skit resembling the mov- ie, Stripes. These students were required to enroll in English and American Government. The rest of their schedules were filled with electives. ROW 1: Bob Adams, Julie Adler, Matt Amdahl, and Deb Andersen.

Some of the top pics of '85-'86 included home- coming and the fall play, The Miracle Worker ; such organizations as FBLA, FFA, AFS, and DECA; and the paper and annual staffs as well as debate and oral interpre- tation. The students in many of these activities travelled during the year and raised money through dances and special sales promotions to meet their financial needs. 45 Students Create a Day in Hollywood Lights, Camera, Action, and Hollywood Home- coming was off to a start on September 23. Each class, with many clever ideas in mind, began building their floats and working on coronation decor. Keeping the Hollywood theme in mind. Rich Fischer and Angie Richardts, with help from Amy Unker, announced the celebrities throughout the coronation activities. The stage band, directed by Mr. A1 Stewart, and the chorus, directed by Ms. Judie Mathers, provided music for the evening's festivities. Miss Deloris Richards and Mrs. Trudy Quail coordinat- ed the coronation program. Royalty candidates for this year's court were Bryan Schmidt, Alan Bergquist, Tracy Pinkert, Bob Adams, The seniors challenge the juniors to a game of volleyball as one of the many homecoming festivities during the week. Jackie Schmidt, Kim Rethke, Lois Hartman, and Laurie Unzen. Bryan Schmidt and Jackie Schmidt were crowned king and queen. After coronation there was a pep rally to raise spirits and boost morales. This was followed by free pop and hotdogs which were provided by the student council. Homecoming King Bryan Schmidt reads his proclamation to the crowd as Queen Jackie looks on.

The second place prize was awarded to the junior class. Other place winners were the sophomores, taking third and freshmen, fourth. Class attendants rode on their respective floats. They were Paul Peschong and Robin Anderson, juniors; Chris Her re id and Angie Hyde, sophomores; and Jim Radermacher and Amy Anderson, freshmen. Hollywood Homecoming was brought to a close on a victorious note as the Bulldogs defeated the Redfield Pheas- ants 21 to 12. In preparation for the big game, the cheerleaders hand out balloons at the parade The jazz band, directed by Al Stewart, adds a musical touch to the coronation activities. Bryan Schmidt and Terry Nelson move in for a tackle to add a nice touch to the Bulldog pride The first place senior float depicts the theme with, Take Those Pheas- ants on Vacation. Follow that Bird” is the theme used to get the freshmen a fourth place finish in float competition. 48 Council Sponsors Dances Although the student council did not sponsor any specific ac- tivity like last year's snack break , they were busy with such activities as Homecoming, the Christmas Ball, several dances, and slush week. Two members of each class were elected at the beginning of the year to represent their respective class on the student council. This group was advised by Principal Bergan, who com- mented, This year, though not highly visible, we have a super group of students representing the student body.

For the fifth year in a row, the year- book had a new publishing company, Inter-Collegiate Press. Unlike last year's book, which con- sisted of 128 pages, the book was cut back to 112 pages. Fewer pages were devoted to sports and division pages were made double page spreads. Along with the changes that took place, some problems also occurred. One of the major problems was that there was no time allowed during the school day to work on the year- book. Another problem was a lack of interest. Students showed little enthusiasm for working on the an- nual. One staff member commented that since so many students feel free to make complaints about the year- book, they should be more willing to help with it. Because the annual theme is MTV, members pose for a picture while watching MTV. Members include H. Voeltz, T. Radermacher, H. Nef, C. Sunne, R. Harms. L. Behlings, A. Tietjen, B Schneider, and K. Olson. Photographers are A. Wibbens, L. Peters, J Bohlen, S. Nelson, and C. Fields. Co-editors of the yearbook are Becky Schneider and Loreen Business managers Back ow: K Olson and J.

An unusually large number of freshmen were involved when compared with last year's staff. Along with these new faces came new ideas. The news- paper focused more on people rather than on just current happenings. Examples of articles that dealt with people Advisor Julie Hassinger and Editor Jackie Schmidt take time out to be pho- tographed were features on students receiving special awards and recognition of activities inside as well as outside of school. Though there were new ideas, there were old problems facing the staff. There was no time allowed during the day to work on the paper. Getting the stories in was the main problem as many of the students on the paper staff were involved in extra curricular activities. Laying out the Bulldog” are Jackie Schmidt and Laurie Unzen.

These students participated in individual events as well as team events. Tim Boerger and Elmar Henschen tried their luck in the Lincoln-Douglass Debate which consisted of one-man teams debating the topic, Resolved: That the restriction of civil liberties in the U.S. for the sake of combating ter- rorism is justified. Boerger and Henschen debated this topic throughout the season and advanced to the state de- bate tournament in Aberdeen at the end of the season. Julie Boerger was voted Most Valuable Debater by the debaters. Those who had the best debate records during the season were freshmen Heather Jurgens and Jodi Wa- terfall. Waterfall also broke the school record for earning the most NFL points as a freshman. Twenty-two students competed in oral interpretation with Rich Fischer, Amy Unker, and Tammy Stultz advancing to the State A Oral Interp Contest in Huron.

Usually thought to be the life story of Helen Keller, the students discovered as they worked on it that it was actually about the life of Annie Sullivan. Miss Sullivan was a very perceptive individual who survived blindness herself and became one of the world's most remembered teachers. Before Annie arrived, Helen Keller had been tolerated by her brother, spoiled by her mother, and avoided by her father. The young Yankee school girl revealed a new world of meaning to Helen but not without a royal battle. Directing the play was Donna Reidburn who was assisted by Sarah Aderhold, Scott Mertens, and Steph Hippen. The Keller family gathers to discuss Helen's progress with Annie Sullivan Helen is shown here in one of her few tranquil moments. Displaying one of her many tantrums is Helen Keller who was portrayed by Jami Wendland. A group of blind children bid farewell to Miss Sullivan upon her departure from the blind school. 54 CAST Doctor Captain Keller Kate Keller Helen Keller .. Jami Wendland Annie Sullivan ..

The main objective of the play was to enable children to recognize the traditional story while humanizing the characters so as to also make the play interesting for adults. Though the cast was primarily freshmen, the Cinderella lead was played by senior Jodi Olson. The fairy godmother, played by Jami Wendland, was por- trayed as a matter-of-fact woman with incidental magical powers. In the play she tried to talk Cinderella out of attending the ball, but Cinderella's imagination and faith in miracles won her godmother over to granting her wish. Mrs. Donna Reidburn, the director, commented, 'The most difficult part of this play was the costuming. Kim Tschepen, Kim Cummins, and Becky Aderhold assisted Mrs. Reidburn with the production. Mr. A1 Stewart di- rected the pit band, and Mrs. Judie Mathers assisted with the music.

Although a bigger turnout was expected, an exchange weekend gave MHS students a new look at the world. The weekend of March 20 began with a lyceum. Films and area exchange students discussed exchange pro- grams. This lyceum was followed by such activities as an AFS sponsored dance, a pizza party, all-day Saturday ac- tivities, and a Sunday potluck. AFS was advised by Ms. Dawn Tommerdahl and Miss Julie Hassinger who helped the club members raise mon- ey through track concessions, advent calendars, and dances throughout the year. AFS funds are used for bringing exchange students to Milbank. Foreign exchange student Elmar Henschen proudly accepts a letter jacket from AFS advisors Dawn Tommerdahl and Julie Hassinger. AFS Club.

Ana, Miho, Elmar Join MHS AFS brought three new students and three new cultures to Milbank this year. The new students were Miho Morita, Elmar Henschen, and Ana Garcia. Miho came from Utsunomiya, Japan. She has a younger brother named Shigeyuki. Changes Miho experienced upon coming to America included adjusting to the smaller population and the weather. Miho commented that in her school students wear uniforms and are not allowed to wear make-up or have perms. Miho also stated that MTV was very popular in her country. Elmar came from Wolfsburg, West Germany. He has an older sister named Anja. Elmar experienced the American way of life in rural South Dakota. Milbank compared to his hometown of 140,000 people was quite a change. His school of 1800 students was very different from Milbank. Ana came from Madrid, Spain. She has an older brother. Quique, and an older sister, Malena. Visiting America was a big shock for Ana, but it was a good experience. Ana said that in her school, the teachers move from class to class, not the students. 59 Ana Garcia is the exchange student from Madrid, Spain. She is a senior and is staying with the Stemsrud family. Denise Boone Named State DECA President DECA activities, headed by local officers. President Lois Hartman, Vice President Kim Rethke, Reporter Angie Oltman, and Treasurer Darci Wieting, began early in the fall as the club sponsored a marathon dance in October.

Students recorded meets and games, fixed and ran equipment, checked machines in and out, and taught other people how to work the projectors, VCR's, and other machines. The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) had as its purpose to promote leadership skills. Members trav- elled to Aberdeen to attend the fall leadership confer- ence, but they were unable to attend the spring confer- ence due to the unavailability of a chaperone. Students raised travel funds through Christmas wreath sales. Doug Bowers delivers AV the AV Club. equipment as part of his duties for FBLA Officers: R. Harms, v. pres.; D. Anderson, sec.; S.

Qualities Merit Honor National Honor Society members searched out and found new members to the accompaniment of a ''Missing in Action theme. The new members were chosen on the basis of such qualities as leadership, service, character, and scholarship. The boys' and girls' staters also had to have special qualities to be selected by members of the American Auxiliary and American Legion. These qualities were leadership, character, honesty, physical fitness, scholarship, and cooperativeness. 63 Ninety-five Seniors Graduate Ninety-five seniors graduated on May 25, 1986. During the commencement exercises. Rich Fischer and Francene VanSambeek spoke to fellow graduates and members of the audience. The band played various selections throughout the ceremony and the chorus added a few numbers. These groups were under the direction of Mr. A1 Stewart and Mr. Judie Mathers, respectively. During the Baccalaureate service held on May 24, the Rev. Dave Tims gave the Invocation and the Rev. Devern Schwenn, the address, “This Is the Certain. The Bene- diction was presented later on in the evening by the Rev. Stokes Snyder. One of the class speakers. Rich Fischer, presents his speech.

The Board of Regent's requirement that all South Dakota stu- dents wishing to attend a South Dakota state col- lege must have had two years of a foreign lan- guage was nullified by Senate Bill 51. Although students are no longer re- quired to take a foreign language, Senate Bill 252 allows the State Board of Education to require that a foreign language be made available to all stu- dents in every high school. A change affecting this year's seniors was the availability of another math elective. Taught by Mr. Smart, probability and statistics was added to the curriculum. This class was a one semester course taught in the fall. Scheduling difficulties led to further changes. Band occupied a 50 minute block of time which was devoted to study time and lunch periods for non-band stu- dents. With the addition of the band period, lengthened study times were eliminated from the weekly schedule. GIVE ME MY ACADEMICS 67 Dahl Added to Science Dept. To graduate from MHS one must have five combined credits of math and science. Most of the teachers felt this was adequate though Mr. Pribyl stated, If a student is planning to get a college major that involves math and science, he should take more. Math courses included Algebra I, Accelerated Algebra I, and elementary ge- ometry which were taught by Mr. Les Bloem; senior math. Algebra II, calcu- lus, and probability and statistics, taught by Mr. Merlin Smart; and geometry. Algebra I, and elementary algebra, taught by Mr. Dave Muldoon. New to the system, Mr. Jim Dahl instructed physical science and Biology I. Other science teachers included Miss Kristi Lingert, who taught Biology I and II; Mr. Bob Huber, instructor of physical science, Computer I and II, and phy- sics; and Mr. Darrell Pribyl, teacher of elementary biology. Chemistry I and II, and Photo Chemistry II. Dale Lardy and Michelle Grimley seek additional explanations from Mr Smart.

Mr. Wil- ber graduated from Augustana and taught at Miller and Wolsey prior to coming to Milbank. Traveling to Redfield with the psychology class to visit the state hospital gave sociology students a better understanding of their class- room materials. Sociology was taught by Mr. Warren Quail as was American Government. Government, a required course, covered the various legislative activities. Films, the VCR, and field trips numbered among the aids used by Mr. Bob Hirsch. Mr. Hirsch instructed American History and psychology. When asked, what is your opinion of MTV, Mr. Hirsch replied, What is MTV? Visual aids were also used in the world history classes taught by Mr. Kim Nelson. This course was a combination of lectures, study guides, and AV materi- als. Mr. Nelson's response to MTV was, I have a LOW opinion of MTV; the music is okay, but the videos are strange! Trevor Ahartz shows smiles of approval as his instructor Mr. Kim Nelson, aids him in his studies. • a Bob Wilber Mr Warren Quail flips through the pages of the American Trudy Conzenbach and Bemta Smith look on while Mr Bob Government textbook as Kim Poel follows along.

She said she used them to bring places alive—or as alive as they can be to kids living in SD. Ms. Tommerdahl instructed German I, II, and III, and English I and IR. Her opinion of MTV was that it exposes Americans to foreign music a lot sooner than we'd otherwise hear it. Ms. Tommerdahl's German classes, along with the Spanish classes, ven- tured over to the Koch and middle schools during foreign language week and became teachers of their respective languages. Spanish I and II were taught by Miss Julie Hassinger. Her comment on MTV was, I hate to admit it, but I am one of those who can spend hours watching it! She also commented on having a foreign language as a prerequisite to enter a state college. She stated, 1 agree that foreign language is an essential element in contemporary education. I don't necessarily agree that it should be required at the high school level for those students attending state uni- versities.

SDSU Students Join English Staff Two student teachers. Miss Lisa Strei and Miss Coreen Johnson, joined the English Department during the spring semester. Strei assisted Mrs. Dorothy Hooper who taught English IV and IV-R and Honors English. Johnson worked under the guidance of Mr. Warren Beck who taught English II, II-R, and III. Hooper and Beck advised the senior and junior classes, respectively. Using computers for various English activities was Mr. Doug Tschetter. Along with being oral in- terpretation and debate coach, he instructed English II, III, III-R, and debate. Instructor of English I and I-R, Ms. Dawn Tommerdahl assisted Mr. Tschetter with the various speech activities. Sections of English I and II and Theatre Fundamentals were taught by Drama Director Mrs. Donna Reidburn. Additional sections of English I were instructed by Yearbook Advisor Mrs. Ann Tuchscherer. When asked for comments on MTV, Mrs. Hooper and Mrs. Reidburn stated that they didn't care for it. Mr. Tschetter said, I think I've watched it a cou- ple of times for a few minutes. It's not used at my house unless I'm really bored.” Various students work on literature assignments under the supervision of Mr Doug Tschetter during English III. Anne Koch and Mr. Tschetter go over an angle for debate. 73 Typing Classes Add Computers Freshman and sophomore typists became acquainted with typing on a new level this year as 12 microcomputers were added to the typing room. Using a rotation plan, Mr. Rich Olson, Mr. Dick Wherry, and Mrs. Ann Tuchscherer used the new computers as well as typewriters to teach typing and word processing skills. In addition to teaching freshman typing, Mr. Wherry taught Accounting I and 11 and business math. During the spring he was assist- ed by Miss Julie Schuelke, a student teacher. A second instructor of freshman typing, Mrs. Ann Tuchscherer also instructed a section of office procedures. This course was designed to prepare students for entry-level secretarial work. Also preparing students for the world of work was Mrs. Barb Karpinen. She taught retailing skills to distributive education students and presented a general background of business to general business stu- dents. General business was also taught by Mrs. Gloria Rudebusch who also instructed business machines.

Instructors Comment on PE Department Mr. Bob Wilber, a first year teacher at MHS, taught three hours of physical education with Mrs. Jeanne Sin- clair who has been teaching phy ed for the past eight years. In addition to a health and fitness unit, they taught the freshmen such activities as volleyball, tennis, golf, weight training, and aerobic dancing. Mr. Wilber taught an additional section of phy ed for students who did not pass the required 40 percent minimum level of performance in their physical fitness tests. Commenting on the department, Mr. Wilber said, The physical education department is a good, well organized department in an outstanding school system. Mrs. Sin- clair, who taught part-time for the first time, commented, PE should be offered to upperclassmen, and it should be offered both semesters, not just one. It's hard to tell if Steve Schank is working on his chip shot or pos- ing for the camera.

Students in Auto 1 were introduced to automobile service and basic maintenance on fuel, ignition, lubri- cation, and engine cooling systems. The Auto II students advanced to engine overhauls in- cluding transmissions, transaxles, and differ- ential work. Mark Robertson and Kyle Moldenhauer were the team members for the Plymouth Trouble Shooting Contest. Mr. Karsky also taught the Drafting class which covered all types of mechanical drafting and architectural type drafting. The agriculture classes focused on soil management, range and pasture use, and live- stock and dairy facilities. The instructor, Mr. Bob Jaskulka, taught plant science, animal science, ag mechanics, ag management, welding, and electricity electronics.

Stu- dents in Art I were involved in various drawing projects, lino- leum printings, pottery, clay and paper sculpture, and cartooning. Art II students studied silkscreen printing, caricature drawing, painting, and calligraphy. Students in the photography class were given various year- book assignments. They also made photograms, panoramic photos, and studied lighting principles. The annual Art and Woodshop Project Show displayed the work of the Wood I and II classes taught by Mr. Brakke. Along with the traditional bird houses and gun racks, new wood projects were constructed this year. A self-supporting love seat swing, trailer, cedar chests, and scale model homes that in- cluded the frame, floor, siding, and insulation were on display. Working on an Art I assignment, freshman Scott Johanson puts the finishing touches on a clay sculpture. 77 Home Ec Stresses “Hands on Experience Lectures, handouts, and discussion numbered among the teaching methods of Mrs. Trudy Quail. Besides Home Ec I, Mrs. Quail taught semester courses of single living, family living, and creative stitchery. When asked her opinion of MTV, she stated, Very different—don't mind some of the music, but the video is bad. After teaching at only the middle school for a number of years, Mrs. Vickie Strege was back on the high school staff part-time. Besides instructing two sections each of seventh and eighth grade home ec, she taught Home Ec II and creative cookery at the high school. Mrs. Strege agreed with Mrs. Quail that hands on experience was very important in clarifying and understanding the methods of cooking and sewing in their classes. Her opinion of MTV was, It's both good and bad—some vid- eos give the kids ideas they could live without, especially the younger viewing audience. I like some of the music.

Cindy Hermans pauses a moment so the au- dience can view her garment. 79 Choirs Perform on Tour In addition to nine concerts each, small groups and solo performances kept the band and choirs occupied. In early April the A Cappella and Show Choirs went on a two-day tour. They performed in Canton, Orange City, and at Gustave's Adolphus College. The choirs also attended a performance of the mu- sical production, A Chorus Line at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. When asked her opinion of MTV, Choir Director Judie Mathers said, Some of it's great, and some of it is definitely low budget. The band was involved in many activities which included playing at the State A Girls' Basketball Tournament and in the Augustana Viking Day Parade where they received a second place award. The stage band also received a second place award at the SD Jazz Band Festival in Aberdeen. When asked his opinion of MTV, Band Di- rector A1 Stewart said, I don't care for it much, yet it has its time and place. J. Boerger and A. Stewart take roll. Brass Section. BACK ROW: C. Herried, C.

Mr. Bergquist was assisted in the guidance de- partment by Mrs. Janet Liebe who acted as a part- time drug and alcohol counselor. Mr. Bergquist said of MTV, I hope people don't really listen to the words because some are suggestive. Also commenting on MTV, Librarian Miss Deloris Richards stated, It's fine with me. 1 have the privilege of selecting what 1 want to watch. For the first time the library was used as a study hall for a number of students. According to Instructor Carol Nigg, the use of taped books was a helpful addition in the re- source room. This technique proved useful in tu- toring students with such reading disabilities as dyslexia. Going over some records are Guidance Counselor Gordon Bergquist and Roxie Harms. 84 Jamey Jurgens awards senior Brett Walford with ing the awards ceremony Friday.

Mi- chelle Grimley was the recipient of the Elks Scholarship which consisted of $1400 yr. for four years. The Masonic Lodge Scholarship was awarded to Francene VanSambeek. Fran also re- ceived the Gus Kline Scholarship. Steph Hover was awarded the VanOverschelde Scholarship. The re- cipient of the John W. Pay Scholarship was Amy Wibbens. Karen Foss and Lori Schwenn won AAUW Scholar- ships. MEA Scholarship winners were Jodi Olson and Jackie Schmidt. The Marquette Scholarship winners were Julie Boerger and Michelle Grimley. The Kiwanis Student of the Year was Brett Walford. 85 Wendy Hanson receives the anonymous award presented by Mr Bergan The fall and winter sports made a big hit at MHS. The girls' cross country team placed first in the state, the girls' basketball, gymnastics, and wrestling teams placed fourth at state, and the boys' cross country team qualified for state. The football team lost 3-0 in the semi-finals of the state playoffs, and the boys' basketball team played in the champion- ship game of the regional tournament. When MTV was intro- duced, it made a big hit, too, and the same seemed true of the newly formed girls' volleyball program. Fifty-six signed up for the activity, and over thirty competed at the end of the season in a tourna- ment. Matches will be on a competitive level with other schools next year. An additional change on the MHS sports scene was the three class system for basketball. For years the thirty-two largest schools in South Dakota were declared A schools, and the remain- der were B. This year the sixteen highest popu- lated schools were AA, the next sixty-four, A; and the rest, B which put Milbank in the A group. Along with an addi- tional class, basketball also changed to a seeding system for ranking teams. Each time a team won it received points that accu- mulated to determine who was ranked first in the district and, therefore, who could advance to the regional tournament. GIVE ME MY 87 Bulldogs Recapture Conference Championship Schmidt Repeats All State Honor With a conference record of 7-0, the Bulldogs resumed their position of conference champs after being second in the conference last year. Winning over West Central and Roncalli early in the playoffs, the Bulldogs as region champs faced disappointment in the third playoff game against Brandon Valley. Losing by only three points to this two-time state champ took hopes of the dome away from the Bulldogs. Though the season ended earlier than hoped for, the defense succeeded in breaking a school record. Only three teams scored more than once on the defense, and only 49 points were scored by the other teams in eleven games. The team takes time at the end of a football game to say a praver of thanks. The previous record stood at 59 points in nine games. Many awards were earned by the players, throughout the season. In addition to Bryan Schmidt being named a First Team All State Player for the second year, these awards included the following: Rookie of the Year, Jason Seurer; Oil Can, Bob Adams; Special Teams Player of the Year, Paul Peschong; Offensive Lineman of the Year, Terry Nelson; Offensive Back of the Year, Cory Fields; Defensive Lineman of the Year, Jacque Frazee; Defensive Back of the Year, Bryan Schmidt; Coaches' Award, Corey Kasuske; MVP Offense, Dale Lardy; and MVP Defense, Bryan Schmidt.

The girls' basketball team went to the state tournament for the first time. This was the first year of the new three class system, and Coach Bergquist felt it helped a school of our size to get to state. According to Coach Bergquist, The girls started at the end of July with weight training, running, jumping rope, etc., and continued to work hard throughout the season. The hard work paid off. The team finished fourth in the state with an opening win over Lemmon before losing to Tri Valley and Miller. Highlights from the season included Beth Whitlow be- ing selected to the All-State Team and Kim Tschepen and Beth Whitlow making the All NEC Team. After a loss to Hamlin, the team kept up a thirteen game winning streak until being beaten by Webster in the district champion- ship.

The girls who placed first at state were Stacey Hermans, Peggi Behlings, Kathy Peterson, Angie Rosier, Jenny Schultz, and Jackie Pekarek. Individually, Hermans, Behlings, and Peterson placed second, fifth, and sixteenth, respectively. Brent Wherry, Eric Werner, Pat Selchert, Gregg Neu, Chad Bergan, and Stacey Nelson participated at state as a boy's team. Part of the reason for the girls' success in the state competition was their past experience. The Lady Bulldogs placed first in the NEC and regional meets the last four years, and they now hold a string of 29 consecutive wins. The boys' team also had success. They placed second in the NEC meet and qualified for state. According to Coach Wherry, Our boys' team is very young, but they show a lot of promise for the future.

We can be proud of their accom- plishments. The Bulldogs seemed worthy of this praise from Coach Bob Wilber as they ended their season with the dis- trict championship and a first round win in the regional tour- nament. The season record stood at 14-8. Coach Wilber also com- mented, The future for Milbank's team looks good as the sophomore record was 14-4. Team awards included the Most Valuable Offensive Player, Dale Lardy; Most Valuable De- fensive Player, Brian Jandahl and Paul Peschong; Hustle Award, Paul Peschong; Most Improved, Paul Peschong and Chad Bergan; and Winning Attitude, Bob Ad- ams.

As the year came to a close, student viewers looked back on events that made the 1985-86 school year complete. As well as the importance of MTV in students' lives, the importance of academics and extra-curricular activities was evident at MHS. Beyond the walls of the school, many important international events were associated with this school year. The tragedy of the space shuttle explosion was viewed by millions of Americans and having a teacher on board made this event even more tragic for students. When U.S. forces bombed Libya in order to combat terrorism, it had many thinking about the increasing possibility of World War III. The Hands Across America crusade to raise money for the impoverished Americans captured nationwide attention and response.
