THE REDMEN 1966 WOONSOCKET HIGH SCHOOL WOONSOCKET SOUTH DAKOTA EDITOR - - Karen Olinger ADVISOR - - Warren Thomas FOREWORD Eachdayas the sun rises, tomorrow becomes today and today becomes yesterday. With the passage of time, youths become adults and the future comes closer, but yet beyond our reach. The future was intended never to be reached, but the past is to be remembered. The sorrows, joys, and experiences of high school become a rich memory in the minds of young adults. In these young adults, the world finds its future — it will depend on the youth of today as it now depends on the youth of yesterday. This book is dedicated to our parents — the youth of yesterday — whose guiding hands are shaping us to become the adults, the leaders of the world of tomorrow. — Ed TABLE OF CONTENTS OBSERVATIONS................................... 3 EXPERIENCES.................................... 7 Service...................................... 8 Communication .............................. 11 Expression ................................. 14 Instrumental............................. 14 Vocal ................................... 19 Plays ................................... 23 Scholastics................................. 25 Homecoming ................................. 26 Social...................................... 36 Athletics .................................. 38 Football ................................ 38 Basketball ............................... 41 Track .................................... 45 Golf...................................... 45 Girls' Basketball......................... 46 Awards ..................................... 48 PEOPLE ........................................ 49 Seniors..................................... 50 Juniors .................................... 59 Sophomores ................................. 60 Freshmen ................................... 61 Faculty..................................... 62 ADS ........................................... 63 2 OBSERVATIONS Dale practices for Homecoming.

Cutting margins off pictures, drawing up the dummy and pasting arti- cles on layout sheets are just a few of the many chores the staffhas done thisyear. The staff obtained the money needed for their project by selling ads to many of the businesses in town, by sellingconcessions at the home basketball games, and by selling annuals to the students of WHS.

Why would anyone want a stupid little ball? HOMECOMING 1965 Homecoming festivities commenced its lively pace on the eve of Thursday, Oc- tober 21. The evening started with the royalty procession, including the Choral- ettes and Choraleers who provided vocal entertainment. A skit was also put on by some of the WHS students. The traditional song Indian Love Call was sung by Lea Moran. Highlighting the evening was the crowning of Jean Hinker as princess and Bill Sandness as chief. After the coro- nation, a pep meeting held in the old auditorium, sparked the students into an enthusiastic mood for the traditional bon- fire and snake dance held at the old ball park. On the following day, Friday, a parade at 1 :00 o’clock started the festivities. Adding spice to a gala Homecoming was a football win over the Plankinton Pirates. Half-time entertainment provided by the Woonsocket High School Band added musical variety. The evening entertain- ment started with a banquet for the alumni, football players, cheerleaders, and senior class. A light musical touch was provided by the Choralettes and Choraleers.

ATTENDANTS JUNIORS Theola Vetter and Bill Brewer SENIORS Coleen Van Dyke and Richard Wood The freshman class, by virtue of energetically raising more money than their three competitors, saw their carnival candidates crowned king and queen. Saturday evening, October 30, culminated the Band Parents Organization's financial drive with the coronation of Claudia Groseth and Tom Weatherford.

From determination, from agony — comes VICTORY. FOOTBALL WHS was honored to have its football co-captains, Jim Collignon and Darwin Reider, cho- sen All-State football players and on the Pepsi Prep Squad. Hold that line! Smash 'em! We want a touch- down! With these traditional football cheers echo- ing in their helmets, the Woonsocket Redmen took to the gridiron once more as the 1965 season opened. Coach Ralph Weddle, with two highly successful seasons at WHS behind him, began his third year at the Redmen's camp. He and the Big Red faced a formidable task as the Redmen has 26 consecutive undefeated contests to defend. Shown below with Coach Weddle are the All-Conference football players: Darwin Reider, Jim Colliqnon, Rich- ard Wood, Dick Authier. Woonsocket's highly successful 8-1-1 season was certainly a team effort all the way, but a few names deserve special mention. Jim Collignon and Darwin Reider once again led the Redmen offensive attack and also played important defensive roles. Dale Swenson was another offensive stalwart and was aid- ed on the line by the blocking of interior linemen Philip Taylor, Dick Dankey, and Jim Sandness. Richard Wood, team leader in tackles, was another defensive stalwart for the Redmen. 38 THE “R ” CLUB The W Club consisted of, row one, left to right: Stuart Tiede, Philip Taylor, Richard Wood, Wally Weatherford, Bill Sand- ness, Mike Collignon, Jim Berg.

He was also named WHS's most valuable player. Not since '39! That's what the Woonsocket basketball team of '66 can say. Not since 1939 has a Redmen team made it to the finals of a regional tournament. Woonsoc- ket, pulling a big upset in order to enter regional com- petition, lost in the finals to the future State B Champi- on Parkston Trojans but made it to the championship, nevertheless. The big upset came in the finals of the District Tourn- ament and certainly must be noted as one of the highlights of the season. The Redmen, behind the brilliant coaching of Ralph Weddle, defeated the favored Wessington Springs Spartans 43-34 to earn their trip to the regional. Woonsocket faced a tough schedule during the'65-‘66 season, squaring off against such basketball powerhouses as eventual State Catholic Tournament Champion, Notre Dame; last year's State B runner-up, Tripp; the Wess- ington Springs Spartans, ranked No. 1 for most of the season; the eventual State Tourney-bound Cheyenne- Eagle Butte Braves; and eventual State B champs----the Parkston Trojans. Woonsocket ended the season with a 19-6 record. All six defeats were suffered on the road except the loss of Alexandria at the Invitational Christmas Tourney. 39 BIG RED Row One, left to right: D.

Leading the Pep Club in a season of enthusiastic sup- port of outstanding athletic teams were president, Coleen Van Dyke; vice-president, Connie Steichen; Karen Olin- ger, secretary-treasurer. The Pep Club had several fund raising projects, includ- ing bake sales, and selling club pins. These pins not only helped in earning money but also added to the sharpness and uniformity of the group. Because of the success of these fund raising projects, the Pep Club was able to take a bus to every out-of-town game. At the District and Regional Tournaments, the team was well supported by the club which sat in a body. 47 Come on Big Red, let's go!!
