KENNEL Staff Works For Kids' Sake” The annual staff of the 1987-1988 yearbook hopes you enjoy reading the happenings of the year as they recap it for you. They chose the theme For Kids' Sake as that is what school is all about. Kids from Koch Elementary School drew the cover and division pages. As usual, students came to school to find some changes. The length of classes were increased, the lunch period was shortened, and tardies were handed out by the teachers instead of the office. One thing that didn't change was the temperature of the school. Students came back to the same chilly classrooms and halls. The community also met with some changes. It wit- nessed the closing of the Burger Mill, and the South Dako- ta Lottery found its way into Milbank businesses. On the state and national levels, the John Morrell Sym- pathy Strike continued from the previous year Minne- apolis and Chicago recovered from summer floods in time for the opening of school. The twin cities got ready Tufty, the new mascot, puts a little muscle into cheering on the cross country runners Finding themselves acting out the final act of Romeo and Juliet is Mrs Tuchscherer's freshman Engfish class The footbal cheerleaders qiickly pass out baloons to the tans, so they can be ready for the kick-off 2 openng for the Twins to win the World Series as they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 4 to 3. The government was involved in the Iran Contra Hear- ings as the students were heading back to the books. Oliver North was on trial along with other government officials. President Reagan was also trying to appoint a new Supreme Court Justice during the hearings. A “blast from the past recurred when the stock mar- ket fell 508 points on what is to be known as Black Mon- day. Gary Hart dropped out of the presidential cam- paign due to bad publicity, only to reenter later on. Gary Hart wasn't the only one receiving bad publicity. Jimmy and Tammy Bakker were asked to resign from the PTL because of various scandals Please read the rest of the articles contained within to find out what other changes and happenings took place during the school year. After all, this has all been record- ed For Kids' Sake.

In addition to a stronger educational background, students were broadened by employment, travel, and career plan- ning. Many students took advantage of jobs provided by local businesses When the senior class members were freshmen, the percentage of them working after school was around 88%. This year's freshmen hold about a 16% job placement Trips created by various groups and organizations and summer vacations changed many students over the summer. The student body was also enhanced by the addition of foreign exchange and special needs students. Seniors matured with the thought of striking out on their own. About 75% of them planned a post secon- dary education, and many of the remainder decided to join the armed forces. The cooperation of others in these student endeav- ors reminded us that they were, after all. For Kids' Sake ' students 6 Chad Hetlet receives some assistance from the computer teocher. Mrs Tyler Sixth Graders Wear Spikes and Crimps This year was a step up and out for the class of 1994 as they joined the middle school. They had 87 members in their grade with the addition of one new student. With the change in schools came excitement and adjustments which this class handled very well They were into spikes and crimps for hairdos and the way out cloth for fashion. The greatest part of their day was moving from class to class which included science. English, math, social studies, and reading with music, art, band, physical education, and computer as electives.

Gaining three new stu- dents. they had 89 students in their class. Overseen by Mrs. Bulled, the eighth graders had homeroom officers. The president and vice-president acted as tour guides for open houses; the secretary put up the flag and took attendance, and the student council put up bulletin boards in the lunchroom and judged contests. New officers were elected every nine weeks. These students were required to take English, math, science, social studies, computer, reading, and phys- ical education. They could also take art, home ec. guidance, and industrial technology.

Since the sixth grad- ers have been moved up into the middle school, the extra room was greatly welcomed by both stu- dents and teachers. A new faculty lounge was also a welcome change that came about during the building project. Some faculty changes took place during the year. Ms Jan Hemen was the new guidance coun- selor. Previously the guidance counselor. Mr. Jim Ha- dorn was the sixth grade history teacher. Mrs. Mary Ann Lein and Mr. Clift Vitters both retired during the school year and were replaced by Mrs. Barb Hadorn and Mr Brad Olson, respectively. Ms. Linda Grens- berg. Ms. Coreen Johnson.

There were many obstacles facing them as they went along that road. The first obstacle in their journey was deciding what classes to take. Then, as they travelled, they were hit with an assortment of activities to become involved in. Another road block was the upperclassmen. The fresh- men had to learn how to deal with their ''authority. Other obstacles encountered were dating, the lunch- line choices, new school rules, tardies, and no bells When the freshmen thought of the transition to high school, they often thought of how hard the first step in their journey was. Anita Schwandt and Craig Eschen- baum. however, made the transition look like frosting a cupcake Anita and Craig, special needs students because of cerebral palsy, adjusted well, and so did the other students. Walking through the halls at various times of the day, one saw Craig and or Anita with fellow class- mates.

Only about 10% of the freshmen had some sort of after school job as compared to 88% of the seniors who had after school jobs when they were freshmen The freshmen were a little too quiet at the begin- ning of fhe school year at pep rallies. As the year wore on. however, their school spirit and enthusiasm rose, and they even won a few class compefitions at the rallies.

Wherry receives her award at the Girls Basketball State Tournament while spectators look on Two newcomers to MHS gave their views on the sophomore class. Mr. Steve Rice, sophomore world history teacher, said that he enjoyed teaching here, except that most of the sophomores liked the Minnesota Twins, and they gave him a bad time about them winning. He said his worst nightmare came true when the Twins won the World Series. Mrs Kathy Sussex, a new substitute teacher, said the sophomores were fun from what she had seen. She said they were not too loud and not all-know- ing. but they weren't dead either. She also said she liked them because they were Minnesota Twins fans. Mr. Jim Dahl, an old favorite of the sophomores, said that he enjoyed enlightening their minds with new knowledge of their environment. Mr Dahl said he was trying to look like a marine biologist with the beard he was growing While eating his hotdog and french tries.

The survey concluded that about 55 percent of the sophomores were participating in a sport. Approximately 45 per- cent were not The most popular sports were track and basketbdll. Only 46 percent of the sophomores were in- volved in an extracurricu- lar activity other than a sport.

Many sought employ- ment in or around the community, and 78 percent of the class worked through the summer Since this is a farming community, most of the employment was farming for parents or for some- one else Other students held parttime jobs at KMSD, Granite View farms, and Golden Valley Seeds Eating establishments were also popular places of employment. The fast food restaurants employed many students though some worked at diners and cafes. Three-fourths of the students working at res- taurants found time to continue their employment during the school year For those who wanted only summertime employ- ment. babysitting proved to be a popular job. Con- venience and grocery stores also numbered among those employing quite a few juniors who wanted work Other local businesses provided addi- tional employment for still more members of the class. Students who worked through the school year made use of the homeroom period to get their homework done Weekends provided time for ex- tra work opportunities and for time to spend with friends.

Well, why not take up a hobby. There are plenty ot hobbies for a person to try; some are basic and easy, while others are time consuming but fun to take part in. Fitness was a hobby of the class of '89 This didn't just mean basketball, football, running, and the rest of the high school sports. Students also took interest in swimming, walk- Mark Comstock leads eye opening exercises so his class can wake up Practicing her singing so that she can tryout tor 'Motley Crue' Is our very own Stephanie Bergan 30 juniors ing. skiing, ice skating, biking, aerobics, and dancing. One didn't have to compete in sports, however, to have it as a hobby. Many did it for socializing and for staying in shape If one doesn't like sports, then one could try some of the other students' hobbies. Something one can do anywhere is needlepoint or hand work. Counted cross stitch, latchhook. and knitting are some things anyone can do. and the pro- jects can be displayed or used as gifts for special friends. When one gets done with the project, one is able to see the results. A totally different hobby for some is music. Several stu- dents in the junior class have music as their hobby because they play an instrument. One doesn't have to be in the band, however, to play an instrument. Some play the guitar or piano simply for enjoyment. Music is a hobby that people take pleasure in. Even if one just listens to music while doing homework or while driving the car. it is considered a hobby.

Students Reveal Name Origins In a fall survey that the seniors took, students answered the question, Why do you have the name that you have? Their answers included be- ing named after their grandmother or grandfather, a parent's close friend, a friend of an aunt, their father, a cousin, or a biblical name. Some other students gave the reason that the rest of the fam- ily's names began with the same letter Out of over 90 seniors many have birthdays that fall on the same day. Some of the days on which two or more seniors have birthdays included January 2 and 24, February 26, March 24. July 11, August 6.

The decrease in numbers was primarily due to students transferring to other schools when families relocated though a few students had dropped out of school entirely. Of the 108 students in this class. 100 of them were here as freshmen Among the eight students trans- ferring in after the freshman year were Naoko Oshima, Camila Ferrigno. and Anna Marinko, the three one-year foreign exchange students. Homecoming attendants for the class were Eric Garrison, Jim Hartman, Scott Miller, Tricia Brook, Jodi Waletich. and Val Mueller King Jason Seurer and Queen Stacey Nelson reigned over the homecom- ing festivities after they were crowned Monday night.

They are much more interested in doing well academically, and they accept re- sponsibility a lot better than when they were fresh- men. The seniors are much more oriented toward their future goals, said one teacher when he was asked to comment about this year's senior class as they have gone through high school. Another teacher stated that the seniors had excelled in the classroom and had made big contributions in extra- curricular activities. When asked the question. What do you think is unique about the senior class?, one teacher com- mented, The senior class has a high interest in tak- ing higher level academic classes, and there are a large number of talented athletes in this class. An- other teacher commented that there was a large dichotomy within the class academically and in their attitudes.

Seven percent of the seniors planned to work a year before they attended college. Colleges that seniors planned to attend included South Dakota State University. Moorhead State, Northern State College, the University of South Da- kota. and the University of Minnesota. The major vo- techs selected were Willmar. Lake Area, and Pipes- tone Many of the seniors who were interested in the armed forces planned to attend either the army, air force, or the national guard. There was a show of interest in such different careers as teach- ing. business, accounting, and health related areas. 42 seniors Trevor Ahartz concentrates on completing a calligrophy project Row 1: Dawn Skoog Mike Smith Doug Steltz Todd Steltz Marie Vipond Row 2: Becky Stemsrud Michelle Stevens Jett Strobl Tammy Stultz Kim Voeltz Row 3: Christi Sunne Neal Thompson Jodi Waletich Michelle Ward Gary Weeden Jami Wendland Row 4: Scott Torness Rick Van Hoorn Joel Wendland Scott Wendland Mike White Tony Whiting seniors 43 Row 1: Brian Wibbens Andrea Wiese Row 2: Lezlee Zeigler Row 3: Deanna Zubke Michelle Stevens relives happy childhood memories as she races a tricycle in class competition Gong off to another game, girls' basketball players Stocey Nelson and Patty DeYoung hope for an- other victory. 44 seniors Students were given a chance to broaden their range of interests through various activities which were made possible through the time and skills volun- teered by the faculty and Milbank community. Stu- dents were able to gain experiences in areas like jour- nalism through the annual and paper staffs; drama through the plays, and speaking through oral interpre- tation and debate. This year's homecoming and pa- rade were a success after hours of work on floats built by the students and faculty at several building sites donated by members of the community. Other students took part in such groups as AFS. FFA and DECA.

They had ac- tivities planned for all week long instead of just the usual events. The week started with the students encouraged to dress in fifties costumes on Monday. There was also a malt-slurping contest and coronation on that day. Stu- dents took part in volleyball and sundae-making com- petitions on Tuesday. Wednesday brought on the wacky Olympics which got plenty of laughs for those who watched and partici- pated in the tricycle, limbo, and hulahoop challenges Students were asked to wear their class colors, buy homecoming pins, and cheer on their classmates in the tug-of-war contest on Thursday. Maroon and Gold Day was Friday along with the parade. Also on Friday anyone who wore a pin had a chance to win a TV. Kathy Meister was the lucky win- ner. The seniors emerged victorious in these competi- tions. The parade changed its route this year due to Main Street being torn up for water and sewer line re- placement. The juniors placed first in the float com- petition with the theme “Rock around the Redmen . The football team was ready to take on the Sisse- ton Redmen after the week's activities and went on to defeat them 49-0.

It was found in a small sampling survey that most fa- vored this change. The Nifty Fifty theme was put to use when Joe Friday and Bill Gannon from Dragnet showed up at coronation to find the envelope containing the names of the new royalty. Friday was played by Joel Wendland and Gannon, by David Aesoph. Many other students put on skits. Among the most popular skits were The Adam's Family and Beep. Beep where Chad Bergan and Pat Selchert drag- raced around the gym. Friday and Gannon found the missing envelopes in the hands of the dragracers. The names found inside the envelopes were Jason Seurer and Stacey Nelson, who were then crowned king and queen. After coronation the cheerleaders put on a pep rally to help get everyone excited for the upcoming week's activities.

Coach Rude- busch stated that this year's team had less to learn as far as basic techniques. The coaches were able to spe- cialize with the team be- cause of individual talents and because of the players' court awareness from last year. The team was able to cover areas and to get back to their own positions as well. Serves were done with a purpose other than to get them over the net. Sets and bumps went to specific areas for the hitters, too. said Coach Rudebusch. Coach Rudebusch was 102 voleybal optimistic about next year's team even though much of the team will be leaving. With the upcoming sopho- mores and juniors, we will have experience and youth to build a successful pro- gram next year. comment- ed Coach Rudebusch.

For Kids' Sake. Staff Looks Back on School Year Students finished the 1987-1988 school year with differ- ent thoughts going through their minds. Some were look- ing back at everything that took place during the year while others were looking ahead at things to come Thinking back, the students not only saw others excelling on the playing field and courts, but also in the different organizations in the school. The boys' and girls' cross coun- try teams placed in the top five at state, girls' basketball members were state champions, the boys' basketball team went undefeated until tournaments, Peter Frickson was a state wrestling champ, and the gymnastics team again went to state. The football team made it into play- offs, and volleyball players gave it another try. The chamber singers traveled to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City for competition and brought home a first place. The band received superiors in their different contests, and the dairy judging team earned the privilege of entering na- tional competition. The SADD Chapter earned state rec- ognition, and two DECA members competed in Utah On another note, some may remember this year for the controversial health survey that was given during the fall or for the community and national happenings. Citizens of Milbank were able to watch the erection of a new water tower. As the water tower was being built, residents watched the soil lose its moisture as it was a dry, windy Receiving a farewell kiss from juniors Christy Loy and Terri Peters is senior Tim Boerger Bob Schank reverts to his childhood days as he races his tricycle around the cones 112 closing spring. The spring was one of the driest and windiest in the 1980's. The community also saw the closing of two grocery stores, and the opening of Dee's Casuals and Taco Johns. Some of the established businesses were hit by a string of burglaries that was finally stopped after 17 break-ins. To honor war veterans, the city raised funds to construct a memorial in front of the courthouse. Students were asked to donate fifty cents to the cause. Towns and cities within the state began to prepare for the state's 1989 centennial. Both young and old people spent time this past winter watching the Olympics that took place in Calgary, Can- ada Spring brought presidential primaries and caucusses. and voters watched the campaigns heat up with the summer. TV played an important part in campaigns, but watchers also saw the first live coverage from Mount Ever- est. Two expedition teams with cameras climbed to the top to send live coverage to other parts of the world. With these reflections in mind, the KENNEL staff hopes that the reader enjoyed reviewing this past year through the pages of this book. The cooperative effort of staff, students, faculty, and community that it took to make this book was. as we've said, For Kids' Sake. We came, we saw. we conquered describes the success of the school year in all areas, from sports to academics «
