I am very proud of the guys and looking forward to playing our final round today.” Grevlos is currently in first individually, four strokes ahead of Bryce Hammer of O’Gorman in second. Junior Nathan Woodall was emotional. “I loved seeing the team play to its full potential that I knew we could play at,” Woodall said.

Okiciyapi Club presents new SDSU president with gift
By Zach Heupel and Ryan Le Native American Connection students and members of the Okiciyapi Club at WHS had the opportunity to honor new South Dakota State University (SDSU) President Barry Dunn Thursday in Brookings. The students were invited to Dunn’s inauguration Thursday by Dunn after he visited with the students last spring. Dunn is an enrolled member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, born and raised in South Dakota, and many students feel his story is an Feature inspiration to them. Dunn said he hopes his story is a way to show the power of education. “My mother was born on the Rosebud reservation here in South Dakota in the humblest conditions,” Dunn, as quoted in a story on KSFY Television, said. “She was able to lift herself up, and then lift our family up.” When Dunn was chosen to serve as the president of SDSU, several WHS students sent him congratulatory letters, and among the many he had received, it was WHS’s letters that touched him the most. “I’m really proud of Barry, and he is someone I look up to,” senior Deion Larsen, a leader in the Okiciyapi Club, said. After receiving these letters, Dunn decided to pay the connections class a visit. This fall, he invited the students to his inauguration ceremony. At the event, he was not expecting to be gifted a star quilt. Students said

Sputnik launches space race History.com (TNS) The Soviet Union inaugurated the “Space Age” with its launch of Sputnik, the world’s first artificial satellite on Oct. 4, 1957. Sputnik had a diameter of 22 inches and weighed 184 pounds and circled Earth once every hour and 36 minutes. Traveling at 18,000 miles an hour, its elliptical orbit had an apogee (farthest point from Earth) of 584 miles and a perigee (nearest point) of 143 miles.

In January 1958, Sputnik’s orbit deteriorated, as expected, and the spacecraft burned up in the atmosphere. Sputnik was some 10 times the size of the first planned U.S. satellite, which was not scheduled to be launched until the next year. The U.S. government, military, and scientific community were caught off guard by the Soviet technological achievement, and their united efforts to catch up with the Soviets heralded the beginning of the “space race.” The first U.S. satellite, Explorer, was launched on Jan. 31, 1958. By then, the Soviets had already achieved another ideological victory when they launched a dog into orbit aboard Sputnik 2. The Soviet space program went on to achieve a series of other space firsts in the late 1950s and early 1960s: first man in space, first woman, first three men, first space walk, first spacecraft to impact the moon, first to orbit the moon, first to impact Venus, and first craft to soft-land on the moon. However, the United States took a giant leap ahead in the space race in the late ’60s with the Apollo lunar-landing program, which successfully landed two Apollo 11 astronauts on the surface of the moon in July 1969.
