S£PT£MSeR January to December, We ' ll have MOMENTS TO RE- MEMBER. The New Year ' s Eve we did the town, The day we tore the goalposts down. We will have these MOMENTS TO REMEMBER, The quiet walks, the noisy fun. The ballroom prize we almost won. We will . have these MOMENTS TO REMEMBER. The ' summer turns to winter And the present disappears, The laughter we w ere glad to share Will echo thru the years. When other nights and other days May find us gone our sep ' rate ways. We will have these MOMENTS TO REMEMBER. -■ ' . We Dedicate— Dear Miss Stordahl, There is possibly no one person who has a greater part in the orientation of our individual high school career than you. As seventh graders we were literally thrilled and slightly frightened at the prospect of entering Spearfish High School for the first time. But under your guidance and supervision we soon be- came familiar with school routine, and the next two years seemed to fly by with little difficulty. The compliment you gave on a new dress or shirt made the day a little brighter and cheerier. Your friendly attitude made the lessons easier, and in later years we could rely on your basic training helping us through a difficult subject. Your sincere smile and even a sly v ink as we passed you in the halls as upper classmen made us confident of your friendship and offered us the chance for Moments to Remember. To you, Agnes Stordahl, in remembrance and appreciation of your individual part in each of our high school memories, we dedicate this 1955 Spartan. The Spartan Staff. Faculty TOP: BRUCE ANDERSON- B.

Juniors Through careful planning and preparation, the Junior Class has provided Moments for us all to remember. Funds rasied by a successful Junior play, and by the efficient handling of the concession stand at games, led to this year ' s wonderful Junior- Senior Prom that will provide a challenge for the future Juniors. The Class of ' 57 show themselves very capable of taking over the leadership of school. Junior Play props are checked over by officers, Vice-President, Tom Campbell; President, John Kinyon; Secretary-Treasurer, Sharon Buttemeier.

The final step in completing the Lookout is the mimeographing done by the class. Dorothy Julius, Ivan Richmond, Georgia Soliday, and Mary Ellen DeHaai are pictured at right. Editor-in-Chief Joy Christensen with typists, Lorna Oltmans and Karen Crowner. To bring on-the-spot accurate news to the students and faculty of Spearfish High School was the job of the 1955—56 newspaper staff. The 14 journalism students were continually alert in order to obtain any potential news which could be used in the school paper. This meant hours of work during and out-of-school to pub- lish a permanent scrapbook of memories—The Lookout. -40— Ti y i . . fLl-TT ' .T Spartan Staff ' ' Tho ' summer turns to winter and the present disappears, the laughter we were glad to share will echo thru the years was much in the minds of the nine members of the SPARTAN Staff ard adviser Mrs. Myrle Hanson, while they planned the book, labored over it, and finally brought it to completion. Pictured on page one are Editor-in-chief Ann Hurtt, Adviser Mrs. Hanson, and Associate Editors Jo Blue, Carol DeHaai, and Jacguie Olsen. Also members of the staff were writers Joy Christensen and Jerry Wickstrom shown above; student photographer Ocsar Lund, lower left; and writers Georgia Soliday and Richard Ellis at lower right. It was the hope of the staff in preparing the book that When other nights and other days may find us gone our sep ' rate ways. We will have these MOMENTS TO REMEMBER.
