Mike Holcomb Eugene Souza Marsha Misiaszek STUDENT COUNCIL In my opinion, this first year of Atwater High School has been a complete success. Despite the absence of seniors, our athletic teams have had excel- lent seasons. I was fortunate in being able to serve my school with a fine Board of Officers. These officers gave me invaluable assistance all year. We were able to draw up a constitution that I'm sure will be of great service to the officers of next year. We were able to choose our school colors, blue and white, and the Falcon as our mascot. We also named our yearbook, The Gauntlet, and the school newspaper, The Talon. There were numerous dances throughout the year, the most successful of which were the Junior- Senior Prom and the Snow Follies. All in all, we have good reason to be proud of our student body this year. I would like to thank everyone for giving the officers the co-operation that is so vitally essential to accomplish anything. I shall always look back with fond memories to my junior year at Atwater High School. Respectively yours, Student Body President Atwater High School SITTING, L. to R.: Mr. Groves, Eugene Souza, Mike Holcomb, Marsha Misiaszek, Leona Jones, Anne Sargentini, C. B.
