The seniors of this year, as well as seniors from many years in the past have heard its familiar ring calling them to school for the day. However, as is the way for all things that have to bow to progress, the bell is now retired from service and is merely an ornament gracing the offices of the school. As the sen- iors prepare to venture forth after graduation, I sincerely hope that each and everyone of them will hear another bell that will guide them to success and happi- ness in whatever field they may choose.

The student comes as an inex- perienced freshman, and four years later graduates as a mature sen- ior. The faculty member, however, spends his entire career giving of himself to the school and his students—in his knowledge, interest, and friendship--hoping to help the students grow toward the maturity each one is seeking.

Pride is the word of the year as several of the small groups, solos, and the Senior Cho- rus received A ratings in the District Music Contest. This accom- plishment enabled these groups to enter the State Music Contests. Here is where a sense of pride really takes hold, when it is realized that two of our enters received superior ratings. Bruce Strand, tenor soloist, and the clarinet sextet are the holders of these honors. These experiences coupled with several successful concerts lead to a year we can be proud of.

The theme, In the Good Old Summertime, was very cleverly carried out by the Juniors in their skillful display of flowers and the uniquely de- signed garden. The music, supplied by Eden Miller and his band, accompanied the dancing until midnight. Everyone present enjoyed them- selves. The Senior Class would like to thank the Juniors for making this occasion such a memorable one. Time for Punch. A Romantic Evening. Tables by Candlelight. A Delicious Meal. 18 Last Dance.

DRAMA CLUB The Fall and Spring plays, under the direction of Mrs. Mattson, seemed to dissent from the school's tradition of humorous plays. The plot of the play, The People Versus Maxine Lowe, proved to be quite unique compared to the plots of the plays of previous years. Little Women, Louisa May Alcott's masterpiece, was a success because of its wide ap- peal to the general public. The Drama Club en- joyed presenting these plays and would like to thank all those who attended these plays or con- tributed to their production. People Vs Maxine Lowe Ed Brushett.........

BIG LAKE FOOTBALL SEASON 1964 The football team of 1964 proved to be better than everyone expected. The team finished with a record of 3 wins and 5 losses, although the team played better than the record may indicate. The football schedule was expanded to 8 games by the addition of Minnespolis Lutheran, St. Paul Lutheran, and Mayer Lutheran. The players returning next year will have a full schedule of rugged football to look forward to. HORNETS 25 Offense Unit 1 5-4 Defense Wing Unit ff3 Single Unit 2 26 L. to R., M. Loegcring, D.

The team had lost its height and rebounding power from the previous year but made up for this in speed and in aggressive plays. This year's team was a fairly young team with two juniors and a sophomore on the starting squad.

They have also received their class rings set into a square designed pattern with a stone of blue, red, black, or with white gold centers. Now at the close of the year the Junior Class is glad to know that they have only one year left before completing their formal edu- cation.

Naturally we evidenced many weaknesses—we cannot say that this was the best class ever to graduate from Big Lake—such judgement is beyond our limits. But we have accepted our challenge and erected a definite drive forward, each in his chosen realm. As freshmen and now seniors, we represent a variety in potential and a variety in ful- fillment. The evaluation of specific talents—this was the course of our human history. We could be remem- bered then as STRIVERS! 48 Opening address--by Lloyd Luukkonen Valedictory . . . J.
