Breakthrough In 67 . . . New Elementary Building To Absorb High School Overflow Foreword The story these pages tell is one of advancement. Through building construction, teaching inno- vations, and innumerable activities, we have made progress toward an improved school system. As a result of this progress. Belle Plaine High exper- ienced a Breakthrough in ’67. Contents 1 Introduction 4 School Life 18 Activities 40 Sports 50 Faculty and Academics 64 Underclassmen 74 Senior Album 84 Acknowledgements 85 Advertisements 90 Index There is a life one enters with the opening of a school door. It is a life filled with classes, sports, activities, and above all. memories. This section we devote to both the special and typical moments in school life, and record the Breakthroughs in ’67.” Vi Breakthrough In School Life. . . In” Crowd Swings And Fashions Flare In ’67 Homecoming MINUTES AFTER CROWNING, Queen Mary Fogarty displays her royal charm with escort, Jim Walerius. Cherished Memories An ensemble of organ, guitar, stringed bass, and drums in foxtrot tempo played Anchors Aweigh as five nervously-enraptured queen candidates were escorted down a white path to a royally decorated stage on October 7, Homecoming Day. Master of Ceremonies, Bill Mattfeld, introduced each candidate as she roseto deliver a short speech. Chosen as speaker for the coronation was James Stringer, member of the Senior Class. Tension mounted as retiring Queen Renee Hillstrom passed the crown over each candidate and then shattered as Mary Fogarty was crowned. Queen Mary, a 5' 4 blue -eyed blonde, has an enthusiastically quiet and reserved personality. Her school spirit and active vitality erupt on the sidelines of every game; Mary has been a cheer- leader since her freshman year. Her favorite hobbies are tumbling, horseback riding, and sewing. In the upper quarter of her graduating class, Mary plans to use her many talents by furthering her education at the College of St. Catherine. Enrich Homecoming ’66 Between the coronation and the foot- ball game , the energy of the seniors turned to the decorating of the gymna- sium for the evening dance with the theme, Thanks for the Memories. With its efforts to improve Home- coming, the Senior Class incorporated several cha nge s into the celebration. Featuring the class of 1957, particularly the football team, was paramount among the changes. Other specialties included the return of past queens and the choosing of three junior attendants. The start of the football game was accented by the red helium balloons the cheerleaders released at the moment of kick-off. Cheerleaders of the past years turned out to cheer for the Tigers. The swiftness of the New Prague Trojans overpowered the Tigers with a final score of 19-7. Students, spirits undampened by the loss of the game, gathered for the dance. Queen Mary and her Royal Court led the grand march to the music of the Eddy Martin Orchestra of Minneapolis. Homecoming FRONT ROW, Left to Right: P. Ott, D. Henderson, B.

Homecoming Game Loss Fails To Dampen Homecoming Spirit The sparkling celebration of Home- coming '66 formed as a never-ending memory in the minds of BPHS students. This year, as every year, students were struck with hard-to-control daydreams, chills, happiness, and tears. Homecoming '66 exemplified more than ever before the feeling that changes should mold the celebration while pre- serving a respect for past Homecoming traditions. Seniors have always shaped and changed the festivities. From 1945, when Homecoming was first celebrated, to the 19 66 celebration very few aspects of Homecoming remain the same. However, as a shining relic, the traditional bonfire has always set ablaze the festive emotions of the Homecoming weekend. Homecoming '66 affected the students not only because it had a sense of tradi- tion that made it majestic but also because it was an outward sign of improvement displaying pride and loyalty toward Belle Plaine High School. DANCING THE FIRST dance of the final activity of the 1966 Homecoming celebration are members of the Royal Court, LEFT TO RIGHT: Lance Zellman, TENSE COACH HENDERSON, Assistant Coach Peterson, and anxious players shout words of en- couragement in a vain attempt to muster a Home- coming victory.

KA THY AND LA N C E are congratulated by the other members of the Candy Cane Royalty, Leslie Buesgens, Susan Bergs, Joyce Kamitz, and Pat Sul- livan. Snowball Transformed to Candy Cane Fantasy PAT SHAUGHNESSY WARNS Cheryl Mueller, Kevin Fahey, and Cleo Hahn that the Ginger Bread House coating looks like frosting, but tastes like soap! Attempting to revitalize the mid-win- ter dance formerly known as the Snowball, the Student Council transformed the eve- ning of January 21 into the Candy Cane Dance. Hundreds of candy canes glistened in the enchantment of Candy Cane Land with the decorations focusing on the ginger bread house and the ice pond in the center of the auditorium. The gingerbread house was a six-foot structure covered with cookies and coated with artificial snow. Last year’s King and Queen. Joe Ott and Bev Bigot, crowned Kathy O'Connor and Lance Zellman to reign over the dance. The Candy Cane King and Queen were chosen by the vote of the senior high students attending the evening's activi- ties. Other members of the RoyalCourt in- cluded Joyce Kamitz, Susan Bergs, Leslie Buesgens, and Pat Sullivan. Music was provided bytheAK's Band, which is com- posed of local musicians. 9 School Life Take Over Staged On Student Gov't Day Thirty-five students filling positions as high school teachers, School Board members, or members of the adminis- tration, staged a take-over of the high school on March 3. The simulated revolt was in the form of the first Student Government Day at BPHS. The Student Council, with the co- operation of the entire school, sponsored the d a y to aid prospective teachers in learning about the field of education as a career. Each student teacher had nearly full responsibility of making adequate preparation, presentinga lesson in an in- teresting manne r, and handling disci- pline. BEDLAM REIGNS AFTER the 11:40 bell calls Terry Sullivan and other junior high students back to their afternoon classes.

Aged Povis Sisters ANOTHER BOISTEROUS FAMILY agrument by the Reardons, spices the play with humor. Captivate Audiences A New York basement apartment in 1915 set the stage for the Senior Class Play, Farewell, Farewell Eugene, directed by Mr. Roger Delgehausen. The play revolved around the pixilated Povis sisters . The authoritative and exact- ing Gertrude Povis was contrasted by the younger and sometimes flighty Minerva Povis. Both were cast as about sixty-five years old. The sisters with the help of Cousin Peonie attempted to raise funds for their Visit to Eugene Box, a growing fund which the sisters expect to use for a trip to visit their brother Eugene, who has long since vanished into Africa in search of diamonds . In doing so, they complicated a romance between Peonie and Chuck Bailey. The events of the play blended the warm- hearted tragedy of discovering the true nature of brother Eugene, with a touch of humor. This year the cast presented a matinee performance on Sunday afternoon, Novem- ber 13, as well as Saturday evening per- formance, November 12. PUBLICITY MAD CINDY Cellar (Pat Shaughnessy), sends members of Mrs. Wilkins's Boarding House sprawling after floating bills. POLICEMAN (GREG DVORAK), Chris (Bill Miller), and Peter (Paul Johnson) prepare to cut out Cindy Cellar's (Pat Shaugnessy's) snake bite. Junior Class Play Lively Cast Presents Modern Day Farce Originality s pa r ked the Junior Class Play, Publicity Mad. A shabby boarding house in Greenwich Village was the scene for laughter as the cast performed on April 7 and 8 under the direction of Miss Rachel Stradcutter. Mrs. Wilkin's eccentric personality brought pandemonium to the boarding house where she served as landlady to eight girls, all aspirants to the shine and glitter of show b u s i n e s s . All these would-be actresses were mad, but one boarder's only intention was publicity--she was just publicity mad. Cindy arrives on the scene with her pockets full of money. She was followed by a horde of newspaper reporters who found her passing out ten dollar bills on Broad- way. Cindy Celler's last big endeavor for public i t y brought about a life and death situation when she brought a live cobra into the boarding house. When the girls dis- cover the snake, the situation became un- believably chaotic and hilarious .

AT THE END of the annual dance, Kevin Murphy, finishes out the evening by signing one last annual. 14 WEARING THEIR SELF-STYLED creations, sopho- mores Chuck Redman and Tom Schmidt move- out at the FHA Hat Dance. School Life Rock Bands Provide Driving Dance Beats Live music at practically all school dances was once little more than a dream. It was a dream come true when BPHS joined the IN crowd with the in- troduction of rock bands at school dances during 1967. The Cheerleaders and Lettermanfea- tured the Sonics of Minneapolis at the second annual Christmas Ball on Decem- ber 17. The Tempos of New Prague provided the music for the FHA Hat Dance, held after the basketball game with Jordan on February 3. The pre-prom sophomore sock-hop, held on April 14 supplied the big beat sounds of the Andantes of LaSueur. The GAA's Hawkins Hideaway echoed with the resilient sound of the Brimstones of Glencoe on April Fool's Day. The Tempos returned Friday, May 19, forthe Student Council's AFS Dance. The proceeds from the dance were added to the Council's fund to provide BPHS with a foreign student in the 1967-68 school year. JIM STRINGER AND Elaine Balk beam their ac- ceptance of their Sadie's Fool and Hawkins Queen crowns. 15 Prom SMILES, FORMALS, AND dinner jackets are on display as the Grand March winds its way around the gym to the music of the Hot Half Dozen.

Breaking through with a driving beat to highlight the disco- theque atmosphere were the Hot Half Dozen a brass-rock band from the Twin Cities. At 8:00 P.M. Big Ben chimed the hour and a small army of parents and friends, cameras in hand, viewed the Grand March led by Junior Class President, Pauljohnson. In place of the traditional banquet before the dance, a buffet table with multiple hors d'oeuvres was staged at the side of the gym for the guests' enjoyment throughout the evening. Cakes decorated to represent the United States flag and the flag of the United King- dom were served at the side-walk cafe on 16 GREG WEST LUND OFFERS a helping hand to Kathy Wolpern as they enter for the Grand March.

A highlight of the decorations was a fifteen foot high replica of London's Big Ben. During the dance intermission. Senior Class President, Bill Mattfeld, read the Last Will which was written by a committee of seniors. Paul Johnson, Junior Class Pres- ident, read the Class Prophecy composed by the juniors .

Organizations Energize Efforts To Supply Much Activity § Motion Throughout the year the organizations functioning around the school have expanded beyond the limita- tions imposed by the meeting room. They have pro- vided entertainment in the forms of professional wres- tling. dances, concerts, banquets, and parties. These activities are part of why we experienced a Break- through in 67.” Student Council AFS Student Assured By Council’s Labors Next fall, the dream of having a for- eign exchange student at Belle Plaine High School will become a reality. In the short time of two years since the project was first initiated the fund has grown to the amount of $829.50. The local chapter must provide a home for the student, the necessary mon- ey, and give the student the guidance he needs to adjust to his new life. OnNovember 3, 4, and 5 Mr. Charles Perkings. Russ Hart, and Paul Anderson represented Belle Plaine High School at the State Student Council Convention at Bemidji. At Christmastime voluntary Christ- mas gifts from BPHS students were dis- tributed to patients at the Faribault State Hospital. The purchase of a 16 by 68 full-length mirror which adorns the lobby wall was made in December. Student Government Day broke through on March 3 to give high school students the chance to learn more about the teaching profession and move toward meeting the responsibilities that each student must face in the future.

Improved Rating Spurs Staff To Higher Goal A yearbook is many things; a memory book, a record of the year, a public re- lations medium, a student project, and a reference book. These were the goals the TIGERIAN staff aimed to fulfill in their '67 publication. A First Class rating was awarded the 1966 TIGERIAN by the National Scholastic Press Association. The Big-E Award was also received from the American Year- book Company recognizing outstanding achievements in the planning, prepa - ration, and punctual completion of photo- graphic and editorial material by the yearbook advisor, co-editors, and staff. With the unanimous vote of the mem- bers, the staff appropriated the money necessary for the advisor, Miss Carol Meyer, and the c o-ed i to r s , Kevin Murphyand Rodney Karnitz, to attend the N. S. P. A. convention held in Chicago during Thanksgiving vacation, November 24, 25, 26, and 27. Among the most notable improve - ments made in the yearbook this year were the justification of margins, a growth in the number of pages, and the use of division pages produced by the staff. 22 Paper Staff Advisor Change-Over Adds Responsibility With the gathering of the latest in- formation and the stroking of the type- writer keys came the sounding forth of the school news in the monthly -published TIGER TOPICS. More responsibility devolved upon the staff this year as a result of an ad- visor change -over. Through the great efforts of the editors and page-editors, plus the aid of its experienced members, the staff was able to meet these respon- sibilities. Zippy advertisements, controversial editorials, and student creativity brought a fresh approach into the scope of each edition. The paper also became a media for student opinion in the form of Letters to the Editor. In an attempt to be the first to re- port the heartbeat of all activities, the reporters and writers were observant of all current developments. FRONT ROW, Left To Right: J. Dvorak, S. Otto, M.

The interests of the members are given freedom to develop in t h e area of their choice. The testing of plant compe- tition in growth occupied the energies of several boys. Building electronic appa- ratus found the interest of some who con- structed audio-frequency oscillators. Developing of film and printing of pictures assisted the paper and annual staffs and gave experience in photography. Under the supervision of Mr. Heit- kamp, the members helped with the prep- aration for regular classes. A vacuum tube voltemeter built by the boys was used in the physics class and other science courses. A number of special science films were viewed at the Monday night meetings. W. Mattfeld.

FTA Career Experienced When Students Teach What's it like to be a teacher? Most of the 24 members of F.T.A. had a sam- pling of the teaching career when they, with red pencils and pink slips at hand, faced their peers in a classroom situa- tion in Belle Plaine's first Studnet Gov- ernment Day. Each student teacher had nearly full responsibility of making ade- quate preparation, presenting a lesson in an interesting manner, handling disci- pline, and making assignments. To earn 10 points, enabling them to receive an award, the members aided a teacher in the field of their choice. Mem- bers of the faculty a s well as outside guests related personal experiences at monthly club meetings. Money to finance delegates to the F.T.A. Convention at Augsburg on April 1 and to alleviate the expenses of a trip to a college was earned by serving lunch to an off-campus art class, which was held at BPHS during January-March.

Harold and Ethel Mummery, with the aid of their housekeeper, Mrs. Sutton, were entertaining dinner guests. After the dinner Harold confronted his business associate, Edward Brookes with the fact that someone was trying to posion h im and his wife. Rumors of a murderous woman posing as a maid led Mr, Mum- mery to suspect his own maid, Mrs. Sutton. Harold called on the chemist, Dimthorpe. to analyze some cocoa. Dim- thorpe found four or five grains of arse- nic weed killer in the cocoa. Harold lat- er found out that Ethel was trying to get rid of him for the love of a younger man.

Young And Inexperienced Gridders Tumble To BELLE PLAINE TIGERS team up and tackle a Montgomery Redbird, who is stopped cold. Inexperience and mechanical mis- takes plagued the Tiger football team this year, as there were only five re- turning lettermen on which to build a team. A conference record of one win and seven losses for a tie of the celler position typify the Tigers' vain attempt to keep any drives moving during the season. Belle Plaine opened the grid season with a win over Waterville in a non - conference game. The Tigers gained 131 yards on three touchdown passes. More balanced tackling spurred the Tigers to a victory over LeCenter, along with a simulated punt format ion as Leuwer passed to Johnson. Belle Plaine's lone tally against Le- Sueur came on Tritz's jump pass to John- son, who sprinted 89 yards for a touch- down. From a statistical standpoint, the game against Norwood was a fairly equal match. The Tigers' penalties played a big part in the outcome of the game with the winning touchdown for Belle Plaine 42 being called back because oi a personal foul. Jim Leuwer was named to the All- Conference team. Leuwer, a senior half- back and co-captain, led the Tigers in defense, averaging 14 tackles per game. On offense, he rushed for 517 yards, with an average of 4.2 yards per carry, per carry.

With a record of one win and fourteen defeats and an overall record of three wins and 14 defeats , the Belle Plaine cagers finished in a disappointing tie for last place in the Minnesota River Valley Conference. The Tigers were outscored by their opponents w i t h an average points-per- game of 61. 1 to 73.5. This was due to a lack of height--average height was 5 TO” --coupled with inexperience, as there were only three retu rn ing lettermen. Balance scoring was the bright point in the season with a 11 five starters fin- ishing in triple figures, led by Kevin Tritz with 298 points. Kevin represented our team by being selected as an honorable mention mem- ber of the A 11 - Conference team, nomi- nated by t h e coaches in the conference. The Tigers played their best overall game against Montgomery, even through they got beat by a score of 64-54. They led through most of the first half, and led at half time by a score of 29-28. For this encounter, first year coach Mr. Ottswitched to a stalling offense. It worked well and was used often.

Willson, Fahey Advance Although the grapplers ended up with a not-very-impressive two-win and thir- teen-loss record, some very excellent individual effort was shown. Evidence of this was shown when the lightest and heaviest of Belle Plaine's wrestlers en- tered Region Four competition. These two entries were Rich Willson and Larry Fahey, respectively. A 11-Conference Rich Willson, who placed third in the District Thirteen tour- nament, earned fourth place in Region Four. Belle Plaine's other entry was Larry Fahey. In the first round, Larry defeated Dave Wagner of Hastings. Fahey was then slated to face the defending state heavy- weight champion, Tom Tripp of Osseo, who was destined to repeat again this year as state champ. Tripp pinned Larry in three minutes and fifty seconds. However, Belle Plaine wound up six- teenth in the region out of a field of thirty- nine teams. In the conference opener. Belle Plaine's matmen edged Arlington by a score of 28-23. The meet was tied sev- eral times and went right down to the wire with the outcome depending on the heavy- weight match.

Captain Murphy’s time at the regional meet of 2:01.2 set a new school record. Jim Leuwer performed well during the regular season in the discus, shot-put, and the hurdles. Leuwer's shot heave of 45'2 and discus throw of 129'11 were good for new school records. Leuwer brought home the Conference Championship in the shot- put . Other school records were set in the mile run and pole vault. William Mattfeld's time of 4:54 .4 also set a new mile record and placed him fifth in the district. Leon Ed- man's pole vault of 9'6 set a new height in the event. Other leading point-getters for the sea- son were Greg Dvorak, Kevin Fahey, Bill Miller, and Glen Arhens . The cindermen placed second at tri- angulars in Belle Plaine, Mankato, Shako- pee, and at the dual meet held in New Prague. Third places went to the Tigers at Eden Prairie and Prior Lake, and fourths at Montgomery and in the conference meet. They placed seventh in the district event.

Seniors Trade Classes The Vocational Cooperative Training Program w a s a new course offered this year at BPHS under the instruction of Mr. Weber. Vocational Training was a two-part program--classroom instruc- tion and on-the-job experience- -designed to prepare students for jobs and careers. The on-the-job experiences were related with classroom training. This instruction included self-analysis, career develop- ment, technical information, how to work effectively with others, and job studies on an individual basis. Each student who was accepted in the program had to take the three required courses--English, social studies, and occupational relations--and one elective course. The students were required to work 540 hours during the school year, which included working after school and on weekends. Under this program, the students were earning a minimum wage while they were learning. The wages the students received served a s a stimulus to multiply their efforts. 56 TOP ROW, Left to Right: Donna Anderley works on bank accounts, Bob Nei- sen toils over a car en- gine at Keup Chevrolet, John Anderson repairs a refrigerator for Steffen Hardware, and Donna Witt types an insurance form at Ploetz Insurance Agency.

When Mr. Weber was asked how this program worked he commented, It was a very good program for the right stu- dents. Generally, the students liked it. Occupational Training met the real employment need s of our community. Employers and the school worked togeth- er in a cooperative training effort. The outcome of this program was pro - viding future employers with responsi- ble. employable and promotable grad- uates. MRS.

Art Departments Greater Creativity Evident In Writing A new and experimental twistwas ad- ded to the curriculum this year with the initiation of a Greative Writing class. The class, which consisted of fifteen mem- bers. was under the guidance of Mrs. Albrecht. This class gave the student a chance to express himself in a manner other than is usually associated with the theme-writing of the English class. Some of the topics dealt with included charac- ter sketches, short story writing, poet- ry, and critiques. The students found that it was easy to read a book about how to write, and an- other thing to write. Many crumpled pa- pers filled and refilled the wastebasket before the students were satasified with the results. A highlight of the semester's endeav- ors was the writing, editing, and produc- tion of a magazine which displayed some of the more interesting work completed by the students. Mrs. E. Albrecht Miss K. Allbee Mrs. M. Christensen MRS. ELIZABETH ALBRECHT had a full schedule with three English II classes and one tenth-grade English class.

KULISHECK ASSISTS the special education students with their reading assignment. This year a special education class was introduced into the high school cur- riculum. The broad objectives of edu- cation were the same for pupils in spe- cial education as for pupils in other classes. However, the curriculum for special education placed amore direct emphasis on developing certain specific goals than is necessary in the regular classroom. Reading was regarded as one of the most important subjects. The ability to read is basic to many activities both in school, as well as in adult life. The pu- pils read for information and instruc- tions. They read newspapers, weekly magazines and Library books. The pupils had the same .subjects as pupils in other grades. However, in this class the teacher gave special individual help to the pupils. 59 Science. Math Departments Biology Enthusiasts Jounrney To The Field MRS.

Freshmen Complete Although they were still in junior high, becomingfreshmen meant beingmore in - volved in the activities of the senior high school. The frosh began to participate in such extra-curricular activities as an- nual staff , F.F.A., F.H.A., G.A.A. and various sports activities suchas foot- ball, basketball, wrestling, baseball, and track. The” social event of the year was the Freshman Class Party, a dance which was held on February 4. The freshmen were also able to attend the Halloween Dance, sponsored by community organi- zations and the Sadie Hawkins Dance, sponsored by the Girls Athletic Associa- tion. Not all of the year was devoted to the social events; freshmen were also occu- pied with academic studies. This year the class schedules became more selec- tive for the students were given the op- portunity to choose between mathematics and algebra, and between agriculture and industrial arts. Becoming freshmen added more re- sponsibility for the class officers. Those kept busy carrying out the responsibil- ities assigned them were David Murphy, president; Kathy Hayes, vice-president; Jane Diers, secretary; and Mary Kru- schke, treasurer. 68 Freshmen M.

Sophomores The sophomores broke through into senior high life with high hopes and great expectations for the coming school year. They were looking forward to attending all of the senior high dances and social ac - tivities. The sophomores were well rep- resented at such social events as Home- coming, the Christmas Ball, and the Candy Cane Dance, as well as at sports events throughout the year. One of the sophomores’ favorite so- cial events was the F.H.A. Hat Dance February 3. Prizes were given for the goofiest and most original hats; and just by chance, two sophomores--Kay Brown and Dave Wagner--won them. Sophomores became more active in extra -curricular activities this year.

Stater, Jane Simcox. Little motivation was needed for the 1967 junior class. The class began an active year with the Magazine Drive, which lasted for two weeks in September. During this period of time the class sold over $2,500 worth of magazine subscrip- tions. This project has been the junior class’s major money-making project for over a quarter of a century. The class was divided into teams for selling the subscriptions with Paul Ander - son, Diane Baumann, Sharon Carlson, Bill Miller, Cheryl Mueller, and Alice Stiles as team captains. Cheryl Mueller received a Liberty Bell Award and a Polaroid Swinger camera as winning team captain and top class salesman. The juniors operated the concessions stand at the Montgomery-Belle Plaine football game on October 28 and the stand at Jordan basketball game on February 3. These two evenings of work provided the treasury with $40. 37. On February 9, Mr. Tom White, a representative of Josten's, displayed three class ring styles to the entire junior class, after selection of these three had been made by the class officers and Stu- dent Council representatives. The Ju - niors broke with tradition and chose an oval style class ringfor 1968. This is the first time that a graduating class from Belle Plaine High School has had an oval- shapedring. The girls of the junior class, with the approvalof the American Legion Auxiliary, chose Sharon Carlson to rep- resent Belle Plaine at the Girls State in June. The class's first attempt at acting was presented in the form of Publicity Mad , a rollicking comedy-farce set in Greenwich Village. The play was a raving success and was presented to the public in two evening performances on April 7 and 8. Tradition surrounding the Prom was also broken this year. The juniors de- cided to dispense with the banquet, and instead served hors d'oeuvres at a buffet type luncheon preceding the Prom. A modern band, also in brea k ing tradi- tion, The Hot Half Dozen, provided the mu sic for the danc ing pleasure of the Prom guests. 72 Traditions Juniors J. Albrecht P. Anderson S. Anderson S.

Life as a senior involves the respon- sibility of leadership coupled with senior- itis and indecision. The 67 seniors of the Class of ’67 climaxed their four years of diligent work with a reflection on some momentous and ironically-timed events. The dates of the seniors’ highlighting events form the lucky number ”67M. ’’Thanks for the Memories of October 6 together with May 7th’s Wonderland by Night symbolize the ingenuity of the sixty-seven ’67 seniors. The first senior sojourners to skip the country to Winnipeg, Canada on May 1 and 2 were also the members of the Class of '67 Seniors were led by officers Bill Mattfeld--President, Rodney Karnitz-- Vice President, Nancy Redman--Sec- retary, and Jane Simcox--Treasurer. 81 Graduation Mattfeld, Stringer Earn Highest Honors But I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep, reflected the feelings of the seniors as they graduated on May 25. Breaking the tradition of having a guest Commencement Speaker, Joyce Karnitz was chosen to speak on the seniors feeling toward their class motto. William Mattfeld delivered the Valedic- tory Address and James Stringer gave the Salutatory Address. Kevin Murphy, Susan Anderson, Joyce Karnitz, Jean Bigaouette, Mary Fogarty, Donna Anderley, Jane Sim- cox, and Connie Reneke completed the top ten honor students and were given pins. Thirteen college -bound seniors were named as the recipients of nearly $20,000 in financial aid for the following year . Jane Simcox was granted the American Legion and DAR Awards . Russ Hart was named the Outstanding Student Council member and American Legion Award win- ner. Outstanding Senior Girl was Joyce Karnitz and Outstanding Senior Boy was Kevin Murphy. CLOSING ANOTHER CHAPTER on their lives, seniors stand at solemn attention FINAL CAP AND tassel straightening is done as seniors march to the gym for the start of commence- ment exercises. Graduation Seniors Snare $20,000 For College Finances ELAINE BALK, JIM Leuwer, and Sue Clappier await the presentation of diplomas by School Board Presi- dent, Orison Hahn. HAPPINESS AND SADNESS combine to create tears for Joyce Karnitz and Kris Nitz after the completion of the exercises.
