KENNEL 1987—Volume 41 MILBANK HIGH SCHOOL 1001 East Park Avenue Milbank, SD 57252 KENNEL Records Golden Memories In keeping with the theme selected for this year's KENNEL, changes and events occurring on the local, state, and national levels were recorded here for future golden memories. MHS revisions included adding a forty-five minute homeroom period and a longer lunch pe- riod in the schedule. The addition of a PIP Club (Partners in Prevention) and a girls' volleyball team provided more activities for student participation. On the local level, the business community lost the JC Penney store. On a brighter note, however, Hardees and Bostwicks were opened, and the Otter Tail Power Company put up a new office building. State news revolved around the November elections. The much publicized Abdnor-Daschle race brought President Reagan to South Dakota twice to campaign for Abdnor. The year nineteen hundred eighty-six was a memorable one on the national level with the Iran Arms scandal , continued space explora- tion, and accusations of espionage. The yearbook staff invites the reader to review the changes, events, and students that made up the golden memories of the 1986-87 school year. 7 Table of Contents Students.................7 Academics...............43 Activities..............63 Sports..................87 Homecoming Victory Stirs Sweet Memories MHS launched this year's Homecoming with an Around the World theme. Each class chose a different country to represent the theme and constructed a float accordingly. The seniors won first place with their idea Kenya Catch the Tigers. The DECA Club took second place, and the freshman class came in third. Coronation, emceed by Jim Weber, Cory Fields, and Bridget Aesoph, carried out the Around the World theme with reports out of Russia, Africa, and the U.S. En- tertainment was provided by the jazz band and choir. and a variety of skits were presented by the students. Coronation was brought to a close with the crowning of the 1986 royalty, Amy Waletich and Mark Popowski. The week's activities ended with the parade, football game, and dance on Friday, September 26. After the Bull- dogs walked away with a 10-0 win over the Groton Ti- gers, students danced to the music of a local DJ, Happy Feet. Mrs. Quail, Miss Richards, Mr. Stewart, and Mrs. Mathers coordinated the Homecoming activities. And now a word from Africa ... Emcee Bridget Aesoph Paul Peschong, Paul Snaza.

Fads Become Golden Memory A golden memory in the future will be the new trends in student apparel that were seen this year with new brand names and styles. Guess brand clothing was a newcomer to the halls making its mark on jeans, sweatshirts, and denim jackets for both guys and gals. The Coca-Cola and Pepsi companies were introduced into the fashion world with logos on cloth- ing. Girls made the stirrup pants and an- kle boots with squash socks the in outfit. Long shirts and brooches held over from last year along with overalls of all colors. Shiny silver and gold earrings and shoes showed up in every classroom—the bigger, the better. Guys made Reebok hi-tops the in footwear and Nike something of the past. They also pinned their pants from the knee down and wore colorful shirts and athletic footwear. Students seeing the pictures below will recall earlier golden memories. These pictures reflect some of the earlier styles worn by this year's stu- dent. 7 Eisenschenk Joins Class for Senior Year Observing that this year's senior class of 85 students was smaller than usual, a look was taken at this class as kindergarten students. Research revealed that only 52 of the original 111 students remained in the class of 1987. Four new students were added to the class in '87. Randy Eisenschenk, who came from Cold Springs, Minnesota, joined the class along with three foreign exchange stu- dents. Achieving special honors during the senior year were Shirley VanSambeek, a National Merit Scholarship semi- finalist, and Lynn Peters, the State DECA President. Rounding out schedules with electives, seniors were required to take English and government. Those plan- ning to attend college were also required to take a half credit each of computer and fine arts. Mrs. Dorothy Hooper acted as class advisor.

Auto racing, soccer, basketball, horseracing, and baseball followed, respec- tively. According to the seniors, the greatest male sports hero of the twentieth century will be Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who won 38% of the vote. The greatest female sports hero will be Martina Navratilova who won an over- whelming 53% of the vote. Student Librarian Patti Schmidt uses her free hour to do her home- work.

Guy Lockwood came to MHS from England. In England he went to an all boys school where they had classes on Saturday morning, but the students graduated at age 16. After leaving MHS, Guy plans to return to England to attend college in Huddersfield. Coming to MHS from Japan, the school Miki Sakemi came from had more students, was stricter, and uniforms were worn. When Miki returns to Japan, she will finish her senior year of school and then at- tend college. Luis Wagner Mazzuca came to MHS from Brazil. In Brazil the stu- dents take ten subjects a year, alternating between six subjects a day. School starts at 7:20 am and runs through 12:40 p.m. The students must buy their own books and most schools require uniforms. Vegetating on the bench are Jacque Frazee, Scott and Steve Farrell.

Class enrollment, however, dropped by seven when compared with last year's numbers. Juniors were required to take English and American History. Two to Roster Electives filled the remaining periods of the day. Mr. Warren Beck and Miss Deloris Richards served as class advisors and helped with fund raising. They also helped with float construction and the prom. Junior David Christenson appears to think that he is the “driller killer.

Juniors Participate in Sports and Clubs The junior class was a very active class with almost all students participating in an extra curricular activity. There were seventeen juniors in football, thirteen in boys and girls basketball, ten in wrestling, and twenty in track. The addition of volleyball added another fourteen. The participating juniors in gymnastics, cross country, golf, and tennis totaled ten. Besides the various sports activities there was also participation in other activities. These activities included band, chorus, debate, and oral interp as well as such groups as A-V, Key Club, FFA, and annual and paper staffs.

These de- cisions influenced their choices for elective classes, and whether they took such college entrance tests as the ACT and the SAT. In a survey about future plans taken by the annual staff, the fol- lowing results were obtained: twen- ty percent of the juniors were inter- ested in business and twenty percent in the medical field; seven percent, hairstyling and cosmetolo- gy; six percent, architecture and drafting; five percent, teaching; four percent each—wildlife, ministry, and farming; three percent each— auto mechanics, the armed forces, the travel industry, and police work; two percent, photography; and fourteen percent, undecided.

Seventy-eight out of the 120 sopho- mores showed their spirit by participating in extracur- ricular activities. A number of sophomores were able to participate in their activities on the state level. Cross country runners included Heather Jurgens, Angie Kosier, and Brent Wherry; wrestlers, Jason Redmond and Jim Beyer; boys basketball, Brent Wherry; debate, Anne Koch; and gymnastics, Karen Dauwen, Sarah Muellenbach, and Nikki Nordquist. The most popular activities amongst the sophomores were football, volleyball, chorus, track, band, and basket- ball. Most of the tenth graders plan to keep up their spir- it for the next two years at MHS.

Do you go home for lunch? Of those who said no, 41 eat the prepared meal; 10, salad; 18, nothing; and 3 bring their own. Would you rather have an open instead of a closed noon hour? 95 students responded yes and 7, no. One student responded by saying, open, so we can have more freedom and a chance to learn responsibility. Do you like the extra long noon hour? 108 respond- ed yes ; 3, no ; and 2, no comment. The noon hour was lengthened fifteen minutes this year. This allowed the students extra time to prepare for their afternoon classes or to spend time with friends.

Though the ninth graders had a little trouble getting use to a new school, they had many elective classes to choose from to make the transition a little easier. The freshmen took two elective classes to round out their schedules. The could choose from chorus, band, general business, business math, Spanish I, German I, Art I, woodshop, agriculture, and home economics. They were re- quired to take English I, Algebra I, and physical science for a full year, and a semester each of physical education and Typing I.

For instance, when asked how it felt to be- come a lower classman after being an upperclassman, most freshmen replied, It's not that bad, and It's okay. When asked if they felt that they had more opportuni- ties for activities in high school, almost all of the ninth graders responded yes. Most students felt that they had more time to go out for activities and that they had more activities to choose from than they did at the mid- dle school. The freshmen also responded favorably towards their class schedules. They liked being able to pick the classes that they wanted to attend. Hurrying to finish their homework before class are freshmen Sarah Koch and Jennifer Goetsch.

Almost the entire class said yes. Some of the reasons for this positive response included more choices for classes, more time to try out for extracurri- cular activities, more time to study, more freedom, and more room at the high school. When asked if they liked the lunch program better at the high school than the one at the middle school, most of the class again said yes. Many of the freshmen liked the choice of two lunch lines, getting shakes, and the chef salad. They also liked the longer lunch period.

Of the students polled, all of them seemed to like every type of sport. A common interest they shared was picking on the sixth graders, or being the head of the school. The students also agreed that the construction going on at the school stinks as they put it in their own words. When asked what they enjoyed doing for fun outside of school, they replied going to movies, rollerskating, and throwing parties where they danced and watched movies.

Students also took reading, German, or Spanish for a half year. To expand their education in a variety of other areas home ec, shop, guidance, and art were offered as exploratory classes for nine weeks each. Seventh graders helped paint a mural for the lunchroom walls. An artist-in-residence was responsible for the drawing and measurements of the mural. It depicts the world, the United States, and South Dako- ta. Taking time out to pose for the camera is seventh grader Emily Torstenson.

The con- struction, which resulted in two extra classrooms, was on-going during school hours. Mrs. Brakke, a sixth grade teacher, said that the construc- tion was at times disturbing, but that the class adjusted well. 'Sometimes curiosity got the better of us, and we just had to go to the window and see what was making all the noise ' com- mented Mrs. Knaus, another teacher. The class of 1993 had eighty-seven members. They took math, science, Eng- lish, social studies, art, music, phys. ed, and reading. Band and chorus were also available as electives.

Some of the teachers felt it was an interference as it was noisy and messy at times. Mr. Peterson, the band instructor, made the comment that he wished the hammers would go the same beat as the band. One thing the teachers agreed on, though, was that it would be nice once it was finished. With the exception of the new foreign language teach- ers, the middle school staff was unchanged. Miss Linda Grensberg and Miss Coreen Johnson taught German and Spanish, respectively. Seventh grader jerry Pribbenow appears to be keeping a close eye on some development.

Curriculum Adds New Classes The academic scene took on a few changes this year. Two classes, Basic Horticulture and Public Speaking, were new in the school's curriculum. Basic Horticulture, instructed by Mr. Jaskulka, taught students about gardening techniques and landscaping and allowed them to raise plants in class. Public Speaking, taught by Mr. Tschetter, was offered as a continuation of the speech unit in English II. The class presented debates, forums, class discussions, dialogues, and dramas. Student with this class could test out of college speech class if they wished to. It is hoped that readers seeing the pictures below will remember golden memories of their academic past. These pictures show a few memories of the present teaching staff. 43 Pribyl Wins Teacher of the Year When asked what they noticed about the present fashions of high school students compared to when they first began teaching, most of the math and science teachers agreed that some older fashions came back. They also noticed that students seemed more conscientious about what they wore and that stu- dents dressed up more. Math courses still included Algebra I, Accelerated Algebra 1 and elementary geometry, taught my Mr. Les Bloem; senior math.

Covering the history of the United States from 1850 to the present, Mr. Bob Hirsch also taught American History and was the sole instructor of psychology, a one semester course studying human behavior. Dealing with the interactions of humans, sociology, also a one semester course, was taught by Mr. Warren Quail. In addition to sociology, Mr. Quail also taught American Government to the seniors. As a class, the government students studied current events, the fundamentals of the United States government, the con- stitution, and followed the election proceedings and the various bills on the House and Senate floors. Mr. Kim Nelson was the instructor of World History, a course covering the cultures and economies of foreign countries.

A children's one-act play, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, was the opening feature on the evening of February 19. About the play Director Donna Reidburn commented, It is one of the best local one-acts she has ever put together. The star of the play, Charlie Bucket, who was played by Carol Stemsrud, was a very poor boy when he won a Golden Ticket. This ticket won him a tour through Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory and later allowed him to inherit the factory just because he was a good kid. Willy Wonka greets all of his Golden Ticket winners outside the chocolate factory be- fore the tour begins. The cast included the following drama students and characters: Trudi Gonzenbach and Kristin Olson. Narrators; Christy Loy, Augustus Gloop; Susan Thomas, Veruca Salt; Shanie Genereux.

MHS seemed to have another successful athletic year. The boys' basketball team advanced to the State A Tour- nament and came away with fourth place. The girls' and boys' cross country teams placed first and fourth respec- tively at state. Also the boys' and girls' track teams were northeast conference winners. This marked the first time since 1962 that the boys' team won the NEC title. On the local and state scenes grocery stores appeared to be successful businesses in Milbank as Red Owl re- opened and Bill's Super Valu and Berens built on addi- tions. A not so successful business was the John Morrell Company in Sioux Falls as union workers went on strike. Trying to negotiate the workers' demands was newly elected Governor George Mickelson. Other political happenings were the increase of the interstate speed lim- it to 65 mph and raising the drinking age to 21. Miscellaneous events included the formation of the Rap- id City Thrillers, a CBA basketball team, and the arrival of the B-l bomber at Ellsworth Air Force Base. The main military crisis of the year was the accidental bombing of the USS Stark by an Iraqian fighter bomber. Other national news centered around sex scandals as television evangelist Rev. James Bakker was marred by a scandal and was dismissed from the PTL network. Candi- date Gary Hart dropped out of the presidential race un- der similar circumstances. The yearbook staff would like to express appreciation to those who contributed to the completion of this year- book. A special thank you is extended to Heidi Voeltz and Chad Bergan who were guest writers and to those parents and students who contributed pictures when they were needed. —The Editor, Becky Schneider 106 Trying a guest meal in home ec are Cordon Bergquist, Cinny Dohrer, and Karla B)erke.
