PrincipaFs Message The 1966-67 school year may well be remembered as a year of great joys and extreme sorrows in the Big Sandy community. The success of Big Sandy alumni in colleges of their choice has been encouraging. The success of the many activities of the school has been high in degree. I think it is well to mention a few of the achievement high- lights. In music, several have been chosen to All-State Band and Chorus. Ralph Schwartz, one of the two sophomores selected to All-Northwest Band, was awarded first chair in the trumpet section. The Speech Club has made other schools, large and small, recognize it as a constant contender in all divisions of the activity. The basketball team won the Divisional Championship and placed fourth in the state. The wrestling team won the Divisional and State Championships. In addition, Duane Olson, a three-time state champion in the 145 pound class, was chosen the outstanding wres- tler of the tournament. The team also received the Bob Olson Award for the outstand- ing wrestling team in the State Tournament, and Coach Fred Salmonsen was chosen as Coach of the Year by his fellow coaches. Several officers of FFA received gold awards and Dennis LaBuda was chosen All-State Farmer. These achievements and joys were constantly tempered by the tragic deaths of David Haakenson, Fern Minier, and Martha Steven. Never in the history of Big Sandy has a student body tasted the joys of such success and at the same time faced the grief of so much tragedy. The recording of events from a setting of such contrasts would be a challenge for any staff and sponsor. I wish to congratulate Mr. Salmonsen and his staff for the fine job they have done. 6
