all will remember their four years RONNIE ZARZECK practiced a fovorite Comanche habit-that of censoring study. A former Tiger, CLETUS CARRON, came to Cahokia from Dupo during his junior year. HOVVARD SMITH was a Cahokia Cotton- picker and went out for football. FRED FORTlVlAN'S two loves were foote ball and Margie. ROGER HOFFMAN. baseball manager, handed out Commanehe schedules from the print shop. Thus we remember the little things about the members of our class. Now as the final curtain is drawn on our high-school career, we recall the many things that have helped to make these last four years so enjoyable. Act I, saw us as a bunch of green kids trying hard to look and act growrrtip. VVL' made new acquaintances, attended school dances for the first time, and learned to organize as a real class. ln Act Il, we became butchers-biology was included in our curricula. VVe gave a St. Patriek's dance and participated in all major school activities. VVe became magazine salesmen in the third act. ln May we presented our Rlue Hawaii and four of the girls served as Prom attendants. The fourth and final act is the one we remember best' for we were winding up our high-school daze. VVe remembered with fond- ness our classes4biology, English, history, all of themg our teachers-we really liked them: our friends, wonderful they were. Our last and final role was portrayed as we walked down the aisle to receive our long-awaited diplomas at graduation.
