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.

Jim Barrett Ray Giske Boys, State The Boys' Staters were chosen by -the faculty with the approval of the American Legion. They were chosen on the basis of citizenship, scholarship, and leadership. Boys' State is held on the Campus of Northern State Teachers' College in Aberdeen during the first week of June. The aim of the program at Boys' State is to learn about government and enjoy the learning about it. As one Boy Stater puts it, there is a greater and deeper experience gained than just making friends and having fun. At Boys' State we experienced government-we are actually the govern- ing bodies, and the citizens, in a functioning, operating system of government.
