Lynne Warwick, Kevin Berg, Adam Clark, and Tom Schlimgen proved themselves in athletics here at Dakota State University, and the 1983-84 Lady T's had a standout season for themselves.

     Dakota State's Athletic Hall of Fame selection committee felt that their achievements were worthy enough to be named as the Class of 2005.  They will receive their plaques at the DSU Hall of Fame Banquet on Friday at Camp Lakodia on Lake Herman at 7:30 p.m.   Friday's Hall of Fame festivities begin with a 5:30 p.m. social hour followed by the banquet at 6:30 p.m.
