pring Meant Anticipation of Graduation For some graduation meant the end of their formal schooling, but for many it was only the beginning of their education. As classes resumed after Spring Vacation, students pre- pared for their last nine weeks of school. Melting snow and warmer weather often tempted many to neglect home- work and participate in outdoor activities. Play rehearsal continued nightly as the cast of Shakespeare's A MID- SUMMER NlGHT'S DREAM worked to produce a finished performance by May 3 and 4. The forensics team partici- pated in the district competition at Stevens Point and all A winners then went on to the State Forensics Tourna- ment at Madison. Athletes became involved in the season's sports-base ball, tennis, track, and golf. The track team competed in several indoor meets, and then moved outside when the weather permitted. Coach Johnson's tennis team also did much practicing in the gym before moving to the Thom Field courts and entering into Big Rivers competition. The baseball team played their first season under the new lights at Athletic Park, while the golfers somehow played their games despite rain and muddy courses. Juniors planned their Junior Prom as a parting gesture to the seniors. This year's theme was Carrousel. Class President Dell Weaver and his committee spent much time in arranging one of our school's largest social events. As the seniors realized that their careers at WHS were coming to an end, final decisions for their futures were made. Exam week completed the academic year, as did distribution of the WAHISCAN to all students. As the class of 1967 marched onto Thom Field and received their diplomas, all knew that the school year was indeed over. WHS hurler Bob Doede, one of the Jack's returning lettermen, delivered a sizzling fast ball in one of the season's opening games. . , ig 1 , . , , - ,ici , . iz -1 -elif 3 ' -o F- S . 4 it A tiff..-7:-Q i f 1. a gf., H 'F A ev I Q . gg c g .. .N :wb .W ' X . --- V7 . v. y L ,lax H 8. ff t .. - . it f 4- r , , Vt' --ww rm N.. .- ,.

A QP n ix, , Arthur L. Henderson Mr. Henderson Taught From 1926 to 1966 A teacher's teacher is the way a friend described the late lVlr. Arthur Henderson. Nlr. Henderson devoted a lifetime to the teaching profession, and more specifically to teaching in Wausau Senior High School. In 1931 Mr. Henderson began to teach history at WHS, and at one time served as debate coach. For Mr. Henderson, teaching was a full-time occupation. He spent many hours working after dismissal, on week- ends, and during vacations. Often, when the rest of the school was dark, there was still light in room 152. We will never be able to measure the contributions he made to our school, to the thousands of students, to the teaching profession, and to the community, but we do know these contributions were many and great.
