CLASS ? «OTTO Finished, Yet Beginning Burgundy and White CUSS FLOWER White Rose CUSS COLORS Class History After World War II, the world repaired and prepared itself for the coming generation. But we doubt if it ever prepared itself for the Senior Class of '66. We entered the world in the year of 1948, and we have been here ever since. We were forty-one in number when we entered our freshman year. Yvor.ne His gun joined our class then. Dale Eggers was our president, Mary Hansen our vice-president, and Connie Duffield our secretary-treasurer. Me lanie Schley represented us in the Student Council. Carol Rowland was chosen as our queen representative for the Carnival. For Homecoming, Jan Haugland and Dale Eggers represented us as attendants. In the fall of 1963, our class decreased to thirty-six after Ron Torgerson, Yvonne Hisgun, Silas Ortley, Marcie Schueller, and Alvin Bretzke left. It then increased by one when Janet Al- berts from Britton, South Dakota, joined us. In November Dale Eggers also left for Rosholt, South Dakota. For class officers we elected .Melanie Schley as president, Jerome Appel as vice, and Pat- ty Johnson as secretary-treasurer. We chose Christy Bailly and Jan Haugland to represent us in Student Council. Jan Haugland and Jerome Appel were our attendants for Homecoming. We could say that our junior year was our biggest year since we started school. That was the year that we sold magazines to help finance our Prom and Banquet, the year we put on our first play called Dino , which was directed by none other than Mr. Welch. It was the year that we ord- ered our class rings, the year Jan Haugland and Jerome Appel were selected to represent Browns Valley as Girl and Boy Staters, the year that we had Connie Duffield represent us in All-State Or- chestra as in previous year, the year we sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet with the theme Evening in Paris , and the year that we started to realize that our high school years were almost over and that it was time to plan for the future. Melanie Schley, Jan Haugland, and Connie Duffield were our class president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Jerome Appel and Jan Haugland were Homecoming attendants. Carol Rowland and Kiffy Anderson represented us in Student Council. Having lost one member of our class (Christy Bailly, who moved to Wheaton), v.e, the Seniors of 1966 calmly entered our last year of school. During our final year, Theresa Lureen left us, but we were joined by Tom and David Gibson of Willow River, Minnesota. The class officers were as follows: Richard Butala, president; Cheryl Haggerty, vice-president; Mary Hansen, secretary- treasurer. Jerome Appel was elected president of the Student Council, and Carol Rowland served as its secretary. Queen candidates for Homecoming were Julie Smith, Cheryl Haggerty, and Cindy Med- bery. King candidates were Philip Piechowski, Richard Butala, and David Miller. The student body of Browns Valley High School selected Cheryl as their queen and Doc as king. Jerome Appel was chosen for All-Conference football for the second time. On May 27, thirty-five Seniors sit up the stage--sad, yet happy; sorry, yet glad; nervous, yet calm. Most of all, they are satisfied that they have left behind the twelve best years of their lives. Because they leave high school does not mean that they are through. Quite the contrary! Now they shall strive to conquer what- ever goal is set for them. They are not only tomorrow’s leaders, but they are also today’s adults. 14
