Don Stukel Salutatorian The position of salutorian is one which carries no lesser degree of achievement. It is significant, in this case, of the great rivalry that has existed for four years of unceasing endeavor on the parts of the recipients. The relatively small difference in attainment between Joyce and Don is indicative of the great natural ability and application of the salutatorian. Alexander Pope most aptly described this instance when he said, A gentle scholar is a saint in wisdom's eye. The best wishes of the Gorilla staff for continuing success to both. Valeciictorian t'Scholar's pens carry farther and give a louder report than thunder. -Sir Robert Browne. The valedictory honor has come to many students at graduation since the institution of the custom. The many students receiving the award, however, represent an infinitesimal portion of the great mass of educated. With valedic- tion go innumerable hours of, sometimes seemingly needless, work. It would seem a pity, upon consideration, that this is the only honor to be bestowed' upon one who has labored so mightily. No student has been more worthy of such a position than Don. We are proud that our school is the one that had the opportunity to give him his start. Joyce Sattler

Most Qepresentative Seniors Joe Sejvar Don Stukel Al Nelson It is their kind in all ages to take the buffet and cushion the shock. It is their care that the gear engage-sg it is their care that the switches lock. Not as a ladder from earth to heaven, not as a Witness to any creed. But simple service simply given to their own kind in a common need. -Kipling. Dependability personified-Joe, Don, Al-repre- sentative seniors. These are the three we would like to have the world think are typical of our group. Joe: Sportsmanship, cooperation, leadership with a pur- pose, solid fundamentalist, patience, democratic principle, grace. His words, I will. Don: Dignity, agressiveness, impatience with mediocrity, precocity, unrelenting drive, elocutionist, scholar, the progressive spirit. His word, Impossible? Al: Integrity, seriousness of purpose, scientist, continued quest for knowledge, agrarian, sincerity, the champ- ion of the common man. His word, Why?
