David Deragisch and Greg Helgeson were named to the offensive team. Doug Deragisch and Stan Schouwenburg are members of the defensive team. Receiving honorable mention were Dennis Leuthold and Jeff Huber."50 years ago (1953)"A delegation consisting of members of the Village Council, namely F.A. Dunn, C.B. Sjolseth and George Schlueter, drove to Sioux Falls where they contacted the Minnehaha County Board of Commissioners, in regards to their road from Scott’s Station west to Rowena.About two years ago, Martin Graff, then chairman of the board, had intimated that the road would be graded and blacktopped in the near future.

Fleming, being right on the job every minute, sees to it that all children are trained and taught along the right lines, and become good American citizens. It’s a big job, and we don’t envy him one bit, as all parents have their hands full managing just a few offspring, while our superintendent must teach more than 200 how to behave!"100 years ago (1903)"Saturday night is Halloween. See that your boys are in bed at 9 o’clock with the doors and windows locked on the outside.
