Dedication Celia and Larry Eklund You've walked beside us every step of the way, To say just thank you is not enough to say. Our hearts are filled with love, as there you stand, Please walk on with us into memory land. You've walked beside us through this special year, Now, time is flying and its end is near. But, with you here beside us, we’ll pull through, And take a place beside both of you.

No day has ever been lonely. When we have said at the end, We've walked this pathway together, Side by side with you as a friend. We, the seniors of 1977, would like to thank you, our parents, for your never-failing faith in us. Because of this we are exceedingly proud to dedicate our yearbook to you.

A smiling couple exits accompanied by stew- ardess Jean Nichols. Professional bachelor Don Johnson and world famous artist Rose Anne Buerge have been called upon to help in a very important ceremony. Rose Anne has been asked to paint the official portrait of the new President, and Donald will handle the guest list for the inauguration. Meanwhile, inside the airport, a hugh mob of reporters is frantically screaming questions at what appears to be the largest assemblage of professional sports persons in history. World bowling champion Danny Cain, high jump record holder Dan Nichols, NFL Player of the Year Rick Shumway, world cham- pion bull rider Jeff Gapter, Women's Coach of the Year Pam Mohrman, Denver Nuggets' head coach Larry Eklund, and general manager of the Denver Nuggets, Celia Eklund, are busy trying to explain their sud- den appearence. Howard Cosell is asking if it is true they are meeting to combine funds and buy Florida. Oh, no,” replies Pam. We’re just here for the inauguration.” In another section, other reporters are asking ranchers Russell Law and Nate Christie about their possible appointments as Secretary of Agriculture. Judy Nichols and Dawn Reed are questioned as to possible Health, Education, and Welfare posts. Janet Nichols discusses her new position as Secretary of the Treas- ury. Mark Francis is busy explaining the mysterious circumstances surrounding his contract for $2,000,000 in accoustical tile for the Washington Monument. World famous evangelist Brian Branson admits that he will be the official White House minister. Finally, the crowd quiets, the flash bulbs stop, and a side door opens. Smiling and waving to her class- mates, the world's first woman President, Cindy Hartman enters the room. 35 I escaped! Quiet! Genius at Work! Brian A. Branson 36 Do you think he likes me? Richard M.
