Rapid City High School celebrated the anniversary of fifty years of South Da- kota statehood by dressing in costumes worn in 1889. Everyone cooperated so Well that practically every costume in the city was out, pressed up and on parade at the school that day. Even the teachers and principals dressed in typical fifty-years-ago costumes. A general assembly was held in the morning and prize-winning characters - 1 l. 021125 Class Day Exercises are a part ol the formal exercises oi graduation week. when Seniors give over to the Iuniors. were chosen.

Not only are they the type of teachers who give strength, meaning and power to the educational profession, but they are also loyal supporters of Rapid City High School. nidute to Ir. O. H. Schwentker During their teaching careers at BCHS hun- dreds of high school pupils have come un- der their guidance. As a result both have won the regard and respect of students and alumni. Their non-partiality, understanding and sympathetic attitude towards everyone, warrants us to dedicate this yearbook to these two very capable instructors. O. H. SCHWENTKER Mr. Schwentker is head of the ln- dustrial Arts Department in which field he has taught since coming to RCI-IS. He now coordinates the In- dustrial Relations part-time courses which were introduced two years ago. The band owes its success to his l2 years of excellent instruction.

ALL WGRK A D O PAY.. . RAPID CITY BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education supports E. B. Bergquist, Superintendent of Schools, in his desire to facilitate a high standard of teaching, by providing adequate equipment and pleasant surroundings. The Board consists of six members chosen by the voters of Bapid City in a general election. Of the six, all but the Treasurer have voting power. These five select a Secretary. This Board of Directors operates the largest institution in Rapid City with the possible excep- tion of the State owned Cement Plant, handling about i5300,000.00 a year in public money. All functions of the School District are directed by the Board of Education, with the Superin- tendent of Schools acting as the administrator. They decide the levy for taxes to support and operate the schools, plan the budgets, elect all teachers, supervisors and administrators, and assume respons- ibility for upkeep, repair and improvement of the buildings and grounds. All financial matters as well as all other policies of the schools are fixed by the Board, such as the purchasing of supplies and equipment and the fixing of salary schedules. With an intelligent approach to and thoughtful handling of financial problems the Board of Education has used their sinking fund money as an investment fund and from this income they built the Wilson School without asking the taxpayers for an extra dollar. Since this building was completed, another 3B100,000.00 has been saved or earned, which is used currently to retire bonds not yet due. Ten years ago the School District had about SB200,000.00 of outstanding warrants. The Board has bought up these warrants with their investment fund until today there is not a dollar's worth of outstanding warrants against the District. From the First Grade through the Twelfth Grade, the Board of Education has played a vital part in our schoolin , althou h man of us do not realize it, and we Want to thank them for makin our B g Y g schooling so pleasant. The members of the Board of Education are: Edward H. Swander, President, Otto H. Barnett, Vice President, Harley N. Johnson, Secretary, A. K. Thomas, Treasurer, Web Hill, Director, H. D. Newby, M.

Many Courses Offered at R. C. H. S. The courses offered in Rapid City Senior High School are varied to give a background in preparation for future vocational study. Twenty-four semester credits, or thirty-two semester credits, including the ninth grade work, are required for graduation from Senior High. One-half of the credits are in required subjects. The Freshman required subjects are English and Social Studies. Algebra, which is a Freshman year sub- ject, may be taken in the Sophomore year with required English. The required courses for the Junior year-American l.iterature, American History, and Civics-deal with American life and ideals. Eng- lish Literature, Economics, and Sociology are required to receive the Senior credits. Subjects arrang- ed for one year's work must be completed before any credit will be allowed toward graduating. The other half of the credits is for elective work. One year of natural sciences must be taken in Senior High School. Biology is a tenth grade subject and Chemistry or Physics may be taken in the Junior or Senior years. Witli the revision of the curriculum and addition of new courses, the noon period is used for classes which provide an extra period through the day. The numerous student clubs offer opportunities to further develop a hobby of any kind. They are the Poster, Dramatic, Rifle, Home Economics, Spanish, and Science Clubs, etc. The students take part in the management of activities by the Student Council, Student Associ- ation, and class officers. Here's to the Class of 1940 E. B. BERGQUIST Superintendent .ai ,, MR. BERGQUIST Mr. Bergquist, our Superintendent, throughout the past years, has al- ways tried to keep our educational system modern. The many new policies which he has introduced into our school system has made it one of the best in the state. We, of the graduating class, wish to thank him for his untiring efforts in our behalf. The Rapid City Public High School is again saying goodbye and Godspeed to a group of over two hundred graduates. The school board and school faculty are natur- ally proud of their products and they as well as the parents hope the outside world will not be too much of a disillusionment. A company of' soldiers, only two hund1'ed strong, may be a very small part of a great army of citizens, but if every one of you has fully caught the infection of the social and literary serums with which you have been innoculated in our classrooms during the past three or four years, you could work miracles of better social conditions in our community and state. To the extent that your abilities and enthusiasms are directed toward service to others, you will profit in a coin that neither depreciates nor diminishes. Wliat a world is yours to work onl Youth, Shining Youth, is given us but once, and you now have that priceless possession to dispose of as you will. May you use it temperately and unselfishly. That you may realize to a generous degree these possibilities for usefulness and true happiness is the sincere Wish of E. B. BERCQUIST, Your Superintendent. w C. E. HASKINS Principal w..,,,w st MR. HASKINS Throughout each school year, our principal, Mr. Haskins, is friend, coun- selor, arbiter, and advisor to everyone. Being always competent, kind, and thoughtful, he fills his position Well and stands high in the minds of the students as a skillful leader. To Mr. Haskins, this graduating class extends thanks for the help and guidance he has given us. MISS WELSH ln her three years at Rapid City as Assistant Principal and Dean of Girls, Miss Welsh has won the friendship of the students. She is coun- selor for the girls and guides them in their personal problems. ln this Way she is in con- stant touch with school life.

BULLOCK Advisor The Class of 1940 This year,s Senior Class is the fiftieth graduating class of Rapid City High School. It is one of the largest and we believe the best class ever to receive their diplomas. Under the leadership of Bob Roberts and Donald Nehren- berg, and under the guidance of Mr. Bullock and Mr. Claim, our class has sponsored the Junior play, '4Little Womenf' one of the best proms ever to be put on at Rapid City High Schoolg and the hilarious Senior play, uSpring Fever. Among the members of our class are many outstanding students. The class has also presented a new and different Pine Cone.

Football With their first game scheduled only two weeks after the beginning of school, Cobbler football practice got underway on August 241- with twelve 1938 lettermen reporting for drill. On September 13 the first game was played against Wateitowri and ended in a 6-6 tie. A week later a powerful Cobbler squad defeated Deadwood 13 to O in their first conference game, appeasing the defeat they suffered at Deadwood's hands the previous year. When the final Conference standings were figured, the Cobblers were on top of the heap with a perfect score of five wins and no losses. The Cobblers' only defeat of the year was in a non-conference game with the Sioux Falls Warrio1's when RCHS came out on the short end of the score, 18-6. The 1939 Cobbler squad was one of the lightest teams to ever represent Rapid City High on the gridiron. Six members of the 1939 squad were awarded berths on the All-Conference Honorary Team: Stangle, Bobrick, Roberts, Harth, Cronert, and Carroll Smith. At the end of the season 20 letters were awarded. Ten members of the 1939 squad will be lost by graduation: Stangle, Bobrick, Roberts, Hyde, C. Smith, Newby, Donkin, Hackett, Raetz, and Harth. .i-1 :H in lm S- li 5. as 1 it Y SECOND TEAM FOOTBALL SQUAD Sedted lleft to riqhti: Groetlie, Mfmley, Updike, B. Mayfield, Hornby, Stone.

Basketball With only three lettermen returning, early 1940 RCHS basketball prospects looked rather doubtful, but Coach Cobb, after recruiting several of last yearis first string reserves and second team squad members, soon built his team into one of the strongest quintets in the state. The Cobblers opened their season December 22 with a non-conference combat against Vale, coming out on the long end of the score 32-22. A week later a powerful Sioux Falls squad, fresh from a victory over Central High School at Sioux City lowa, journeyed to Rapid City for a two-night stand. Again the Cohblers proved in- domitable and sent the invaders home with two defeats-18-12 and 23-20. RCHS,s first conference game with Deadwood on January 5 ended in a 31-19 victory for the Cobblers. ln the next nine weeks the Cohblers entered 13 skirmishes, emerging with ten wins, and th1'ee losses. All three losses were return games and were played on out-of-town courts. When the Conference season was wound up. the Cobblers, with six victories and three losses to their credit, finished in second place. Un March 7 the RCHS quintet played its first regional tournament against Sturgis, easily defeating them 4-0-19. That night a determined Cobbler squad entered the final bracket against Hot Springs, coming out with a 30-26 decision and the right to participate in the State 'gA,' tourney at Mitchell. A week later the team trekked to Mitchell for a crack at the State Championship. ln their first game the Cobblers were pitted against a strong Aberdeen quintet. After leading all the way, the Cohblers suddenly fell be- hind and were barely nosed out by a score of 26-23. 1n the Consolation Finals that night the squad was bracketed against Sioux Falls, who were grimly determined to erase the smart of their two-game defeat at our hands earlier ir1 the season. The Cobblers uncorked their best brand of ball however and came out victorious by a score of 29-22. Though they did not win the State Championship the Cobblers proved the favorites of the crowd and were highly commended for their fine ball playing and sportsmanship. Eugene Happy Sagen, rangy center who connected for a total of 28 points in two games, was voted by unanimous choice as the outstanding player in the tournament. Letters were awarded to nine men: Sagen, Raetz, Haskins, Nehrenberg, Forkner, Crawford, Trompeter, Keck, and Swan. RCHS is already looking forward to an even bigger and better basketball season in 1941 as only two lettermen, Raetz and Nehrenberg, will be lost through graduation.

The only game dropped by the second team was their opening game with New Underwood when they were defeated by a score of 23-21. During the season the seconds scored 450 points to their opponents, 243. li BASKETBALL The 1940 HB7 Basketball Championship went to Bill Croethe and his team when they defeated Lindley Allenls quintet 16-8 in the final game. Consolation finals were won by Bolton,s squad who edged out a 16-14 de- cision over Stuckerls team. Ten teams participated in the season with 8 teams advancing to the final tournament. Cold basketballs were awarded to the Champions.

Track Girls' Athletics RCHS Girls' Athletics hit a new high in 1940, judging from the increased number of female athletes entered in every contest sponsored throughout the year. Highlight of the yearls events was the Round Robin basketball tournament in which eight teams, representing the various classes, were entered. High honors of the tourney went to Doris Nordbye's junior team, second place awards were divided between Marjorie Shearn's seniors and Fern Raetzis juniors. Two weeks after the close of the active basketball season, a picked team of juniors was pitted against a picked squad of seniors in an exhibition game. Once more the juniors walked away with honors, grabbing a 24-10 victory from the seniors. A few weeks later an honorary girls' squad, composed of four seniors and four juniors, was named. Girls chosen on this squad were Marjorie Shearn, Jean Miser, Irene Braithwaite, Kathryn Merritt, Seniors, Fern Raetz, Doris Nordbye, Vivian Kempter, Arvella Noltensmeier, Juniors. A table tennis, volleyball, deck tennis, and badminton tourney followed the close of the basketball season. Spring activities winding up the year were tennis tourneys, bicycling, and hiking. GIRL SPORTS The 1940 RCHS track season got underway early in April with light outdoor drills. Early prospects looked bright since ten 1939 letter-winners returned to coni- pose the nucleus of the 1940 squad, only four lettermen having been lost by graduation.

' An Eclitofs Farewell Once again a Senior Class must say ufarewellu fin modern lingo probably uso longvj to days in R. C. H. S. Upon entering high school, three years seemed many to look ahead, but at a back- ward glance they seem hut few. There were regularities and irregularities. Remem- ber the times we were tardy, forgot to do our lessons, or neglected to call and explain why we weren,t coming to school in the afternoon? Those yellow slips were bright but not so cheery. lsn't it odd what havoc a mere color can work with one's grades? Yes, I'll admit we've had our ups and downs, but letls remember the ups and forget the downs, shall we? All these months of planning and working on the annual have really been fun for the staff. Of course, many headaches were acquired from discussion and arguments. We hope these headaches, however, were not endured in vain, and that the annual is all the better because of them. We can never relive these days, perhaps the happiest we,ll ever know, so we leave it to you, ,luniors and Sophomores, to carry on for us. -The Editor, Mary lVIcCray. 5' ' -3.5 ' - 4, - . , .,. f , . x I-...-lqgf3gqsj5l:I ,- .
