1954 . . . the magic number for 193 graduat- ing seniors, two of whom were exchange stu- dents, Margareta Westman from Sweden and Kaisa Kotiaho from Finland. After twelve long and adventurous years of anticipation they have finally reached the top rung of the ladder, their senior year. Events got under way early when the follow- ing officers were elected to lead their classmates through a year of unequalled success: Duane Schulte, president, Gary Kurilla, vice-president, Shirlee Weese, secretary, and Katherine Swan- son, treasurer. It seems that this graduating class has always been a leader in school activities and this year has been no exception. Seniors presiding over the various clubs were: Thespians, Gary Kurilla, Library Club, Kathryn Goodrich, Jr. Red Cross, Jack Crawford, Home Ec. Club, Joan Noreen, R00ter's Club, Gail Cox, A Club, Duane Schulte, Science Club, Jack Crawford, Spanish II Club, Bonnie Hathaway, G.A.A., JoAnn Strand, Band, Dick Walter. Barb Pease, Don Hardle, Betty Mattson, David Dilcher, and Ter- rance Mitchell were the seniors active on the Debate Squad. Of course, the biggest class project is publish- ing the Anokan which was under the supervision of Bev Bunker and Darrell Tilleskior, co-business managers, and Katherine Swanson and Anne Alt, co-editors. Another important publication to everyone at A.H.S., is the Anokahi, which is edited by Barb Pease and Betty Mattson. Page sixteen CVM 0 I 5 4 In the field of sports there were many senior boys who did outstanding work. As captain Jerry Hall led this year's football team through a successful season with the help of other stars. The wrestling team was able to keep up its excel- lent record with the help of Don Hardle, the team's captain. The co-captains of the hockey team, Larry Swanson and Dave Gleason, can't boast of their wins but they can tell about a lot of fun and hard work. This year's basketball squad starred many boys. Among them were seniors, Jerry Hall, Ronny Kish, Bob Young- quist, Jim Gabrick, Dick Harttiel, Bill Butler, and Dick Walter. Intramural sports provided fun and sportsmanship for many senior boys. The Royals copped basketball honors in the AA division. Audrey Gow was the lovely queen who reigned over football homecoming activities, with Donna Siodin as her senior attendant. Crowned as Sno- King and Queen at the annual Sno-Ball were Jerry Hall and Janice Fischer. Gail Cox and Ronny Kish were the royalty of basketball home- coming and Teanie Mueller was the senior at- tendant. Our cute and peppy senior cheerleader was Raeola Smith. Darrell Tilleskior was awarded the Bausch- Lomb award, and Katherine Swanson received the DAR award. Miss Story, Mr. C. Johnson, Mr. Wilcox, Miss Anderson, Miss Hoglund, and Miss Berg were the class advisers who must be given much credit and many thanks for being such a help throughout the year. The year was climaxed by the Prom, the sen- ior banquet, baccalaureate, and finally gradua- tion. Memories of the wonderful years of high school filled every seniors' heart as they joined the long list of alumni of AHS.
