Qfdatowq In the year 1949, twenty of this year's seniors began school at Renwick, three began at Hardy, and two began at Vernon. Those who started at Renwick were L. Anderson, H. Bisbee, B. Clowes, B. Engstrom, I. Erwin, E. Hebner, A. Henriksen, M. Huntley, R. Huntley, G. Jensen, S. Kraft, D. McCurry, P. McCurry, I. McGowan, G. Nerem, I. Odland, V. Tate, D. Thompson, N. Tincher, and R. Veldhouseg those at Hardy were T. Anderson, I. Johnson, and D. Kitleyg those at Vernon were I. French and W. Hefty. Our grade school years were filled with learning and mischief. M. Ander- son joined our class in 4th grade and I. Tokheim in 5th grade. I. Thompson joined us in 2nd grade although she left and rejoined us later. We began seventh grade as Renwick Community School when the three stu- dents from Hardy joined us. The Vernon students were added in eighth grade and we became Boone Valley Community School. Our high school days began with Freshman Initiation. Our class officers were L. Anderson, Presidentg B. Engstrom, Vice-President, Marilyn Prilipp, Secretary: M. Huntley, Treasurer. Our sophomore class float won third place in the 1959 Boone Valley Home- coming parade. We elected E. Hebner, Presidentg T. Anderson, Vice-Presi- dentg J. Tokheim, Secretaryg R. Huntley, Treasurer to be our class officers. Homecoming, selling refreshments at games, and the Prom highlighted our junior year. Wayne Stupka and JoAnn Thompson moved here to join our ranks. D. Neuberger, Presidentg B. Clowes, Vice-President: P. McCurry, Secretary, and J. Hansen, Treasurer were elected to lead the junior class. Finally our last year arrived. We chose D. Neuberger, L. Anderson, W. Hefty and R. Huntley respectively to guide our class. Everyone was planning ahead to their future after graduation. Important events of our senior year were Homecoming, senior trip, Skip Day, Junior-Senior Prom, and of course, Bac- calaureate and Commencement. J We, the seniors of Boone Valley High, being of unsound mind and questionable character do hereby bequeath our many talents and abilities to the poor souls who are left here. To the juniors we will our depleted class treasury. To the sophomores we will our sense of responsibility. To the freshman worms we will our ability to stay in hot water. It's lot of fun, isn't it, boys? We, Larry Anderson and Tony Anderson, will the NEAT club to Steve Packard knowing that your club will never be as great as ours was.

I'm a French artist, an artist of the future. and so I'm going to visualize paintings depicting each of the seniors ten years from now. As you might have guessed Monsieur Dean Neuburger still has farming in his blood, because I find him as a professor, teaching animal husbandry at the Sorbonne here. And, in his spare time, you can find him on the 'field of battle, the athletic field--as the vivacious head cheerleader for the University. Next, my focal point is on Merle Anderson, in the middle of a baseball field Now known as Merle Big League' Anderson, he has just signed with the New York Yankees for the sniffling amount of 385, OOO for his first year. I can picture Jerry Tokheim as Master of Ceremonies of the popular French surgical television program, BLOOD, working closely with his old classmate, Dr. Gordon L. Jensen, who is watched by thousands as he makes dangerous in- cisions each week. My next painting may seem a bit strange to you for I find Gloria Nerem, now a medical secretary, with her crisply laundered white uniform and short- hand pad and pencil out in the center of a very agricultural hayfield. There must be a mistake somewhere, for I always thought she was interested in the town of Hayfield and not in a field of hay. Two of the Boone Valley seniors of '61 went to an exclusive French beauty school. Mimi Uudyy Erwin and Yvette fwanday Hefty's recent display of the coiffure of the former Roberta Veldhouse was simply superb. For an evening of entertainment, the other night I went to the Theatre de Mokiere in gay Paree. The program turned out to be especially interesting and cultural because the famous Thompson girls were in the leading roles, featured as France's best and most attractive dancers of the ballet. Also in the entertainment field is found the extremely talented Penny Mc- Curryg her superb operatic voice has brought her much success. Our friend Vele Tate is now an honorable judicial officer. Things have changed a good deal--Verle is now fearlessly upholding all righteousness and is not swayed by anyone in the least. The former Janice Odland who now works as a marriage counselor in her spare time, can verify this. She is now serving a sentence for double-parking her French poodle. I see Monsieur Kitley's interests have not changed too much, for he's now President of the National Wine Brewers of France. Denny's interest in the transporting of milk changed because he insisted the open road and finally ended up in my country. Monsieur Norman Tincher has been the French Chief Excutive's private barber for several years now and is also highy recommended in the art of giving G. I. haircuts. Monsieur Hebner llves in France nowg he's a guide for American tourists. I paint him standing patiently at the customs gate, being so very polite and courteous. Remember those girls who made plans to go to A. I. B. ? Incidentally that stands for 'Actively Interested in Boys. Janet Hansen: She's been taking highly confidential and advanced training at the Geiger Banking School in Sheldon, Iowa. Bonita Engstrom has become Mr. Movick's secret service sec- retary in Washington, D. C. g and he can even affort to pay her a salary, since
