WIENK’S VICTORY URGES FELLOW TRACKMEN Setting many new school records was the main goal of the track meets last spring. Thirty par- ticipating in track made it more convenient for them to attend such relays as Redfield Relays, Madison Invitational, Pierre Relays, Dakota Relays, East Central Conference track meet and Regional track meet at Brookings and State track meet at Mitchell. During the latter, Arnold Vlenk earned a first in the State B mile run. To return for the next season will be eight letter- men and encouraging prospects for a victorious homecoming from each of the relays. Suspense-filled minutes seem long as each ner- vously wait for their turn to show their ability. Relaxation after a few times around the track gives them strength to do it again. 22

SENIOR EVENTS COMPLETE SCHOOL YEAR Relatives and friends of Lake Preston’s twenty-two seniors gath- ered to share in the happiness of the class upon receiving their di- plomas. This represents their first step forward into the big world. Dr. Carl Lundquist, the speaker, brought them encouraging words. Congratulations are al- ways appropriate and es- pecially to Donna Brown who earned high honors of Valedictorian. Four years of work for this moment of receiving the diploma and congratu- lations. The deep blue sky, with floating clouds and sparkling stars was the scene of the gym as the junior-senior ban- quet got underway. With the clearing of the floor and the entrance of the orchestra, an evening of dancing commenced. The pro- gram planned by the juniors was presented at the 10 pjn. intermission. It consisted of LeRoy Koch and Morgan Thorsheim as Rosebud and B1 ossum in a ballarina dance and Curt Christensen and Sharon Ander- son's duet “By the Light of the Silvery Moon.” Seniors become graduates amid the class night activities. Their last will and testament, prophecy and past ac- tivities were read. Underclassmen real- ized the years goal as each took their new class position. Honors were awarded in all activities. Everyone listened to the speaker of the evening, Mr. Ford, as he edified and en- tertained the banqueters. Stars on the table and clouds in the air made up the theme “A Little Bit of Heaven. ’ 24
