june Graduating Class Breaks Record with Five Valedictorians and Four Salutatorians to Suprass Previous Total of Seven. LEADERS: INTELLECTUAL AND POLITICAL The class of June, ,48, was under the leadership of Norm Lunderberg, basketball and track star as well as National Honor Society president. Aided by Carol Davis as vice president, Norm took care of procedure in the large home rooms. Some of their duties included naming committees and judging class day try-outs. Bill Smith, as treasurer, was head of the Credit Bureau Committee which made out the budget and collected class dues. Secretary Gerry Johnson really had her hands full keeping attendance records. This class also broke a record with their five valedictorians and four salutatorians. The previous high was a total of seven. The valedictorians in- cluded Lorelei Bancroft, Clyde Crooks, Rosalie Curtis, Bud Foulke, and Gretchen Kriechbaum. They all maintained a straight A average in spite of many outside activities. The salutatorians were Betsy Ann Boettcher, Dick Cwrantges, Warren Wade, and Artis Wright, each with one B average. These students not only seem to have a corner on brains, but get in on most things going on in school. Betsy Ann and Bud were elected most likely to succeedug Lorelei, most dependable, as her position as chairman of the records committee shows, Rosey, besides being Associate Editor of the Wfaliiau, was elected umost studious with War- ren. Clyde also plays the piano very well, and Betsy Ann and Bud are page editors of the Grisf. If you don't think beauty and brains go together, just take a look at the pictures. 23 Lunderberg, Pres., Davis, Vice Pres.: Smith, Treat.: johnson, Ser
