His worthwhile efforts will be felt for many years in our school system, as students pursue goals of excellence which Mr. McMinimy always upheld. It is with a deep feeling of gratitude and respect that we dedicate this page to Mr. Wendell McMinimy who did so much to further the excellence of education in our school system. 2 A D MINI SIR A TION 1965-1966 Board of Education members meet in the school.

Members of this Class of 1966 leave a trail of accomplishments any graduating class would be envious of and any underclass would view as a challenge. Seniors took an active part in all school organizations as well as providing leadership in the various clubs and sports . This senior year was filled with a multitude of activities and responsibilities, which included a Senior Play, Talent Show and Sneak Day in Oklahoma City. The foundation for future years has been laid in the four years of high school life. The future holds different plans for each senior, but each has his dreams and hopes to build on. This year the Seniors have matured to accept a new and challenging role as they build for tomorrow's world. Graduation opens a door for each senior. We hope this door will lead to a bright and successful future for the graduating seniors. GRAHAM CHEV. AND OLDS. the NU-WAY CLEANERS PROFESSIONAL DRV SALES AND SERVICE CLEANING FULLERS ASHLAND.

They gave every team a battle and in many games the winner was not assured of victory until the last few minutes of the game. Seniors who saw action for AHS this season were Mark Kraft, Melvin Watson, Bill Seidel, Kirb Pike, Bill Wilson.
