Would Rather Have Honor Than Honors!”’ Fourteen students were named as the 1962 Honor Graduates of Distinction, and twenty-one others were named as Honor Graduates.

Honor Graduates were recog- nized for their hard work and achievement through- out their high school careers. Honor graduates with distinction STANDING are: A. Graves, R. Gartner, R. Wolt, L. Gray, D. Erickson, T. McCollough, J. Bedard. SEATED are: P. Anderson, R. Keppers, E. Lovestead, R. Scrimshaw, M. Cockrell, K. Hautala, K. Hohman.

Recognized for their superior ability and a scholastic achievement, these students had the responsibility of planning the grad- uation exercises. Karen Aase concentrates on an entertaining number for the honor graduates.

tertained the couples with a piano solo, “Rustle of Spring,” theme song of the evening. Trudy Enlund played a flute solo, ““The Whistler and His Dog.” Jan Clark entertained the group by singing, “The Nearness of You.” After the program the couples enjoyed dancing to the music of the “Night Owls” from Little Falls. The ' group were aided throughout the evening by sophomore servers. Serving as chaperones for the dance were Mr. and Mrs. James Mark, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Engebretson, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hautala, and Mr. and Mrs. Ted Schaefer. After much dancing and fun, students concluded their night with memories of dreamy music, enjoyable pro- gram, and lovely flowers, which molded a truly wonderful evening. Ilsa Lackner, foreign student from Austria, and Brad Martinson, proceed through the Grand March. Couples take time out from their dancing to relax and talk awhile.
