Engel- Bengie is composed of many things, students mostly — Sen- iors, Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen; students who con look big and make a lot of noise,- students who do all the criticizing and never their shore of the work; students who are conscien- tious about their work and their responsibilities; students who never wear the latest styles; easy going, olI-American type guys; cute and pert gals. They ' re all here, Bengie. Sometimes they ' re a strange lot. Some of them have marvelous intelligence, yet they prefer the easy way, the easy courses and the good times. Others are not so great in mental ability but they work at it. But that ' s the way it is. They ' re a good part of Bengie. They can make or break him by their actions. They brought honor to you, Bengie; you can be proud.

Valedictorian, Bruce Morquort, with an outstanding average of 95.72 for four years, has ultimate success in life at his fingertips. We give our congratulations! WeVe proud of these top-flight seniors. Senior classes are here one day and graduated the next. One does not remember a Senior Class unless he is one of her seniors. Some classes are remembered for outstanding deeds, some for outstanding Seniors, and some for a little of both. This class falls into the latter category. Throughout the lost four years, all class projects have been planned with enthusiasm and carried out with a great deal of hard work. Suc- cess has been the proof of this. Outstanding Seniors also mark this class as one long to be remem- bered. And they hove been outstanding in every field; scholastic, sports, or extra-curricular. As a doss, the seniors hove many projects: the Senior Prom, the Senior banquet, and the Senior picnic. The Senior Class bacb the Senior play. Recognition Day, and graduation ceremonies. A Senior ' s year begins with the election of doss officers. A vigorous campaign takes place. Signs can be seen in every corridor displaying the candidates ' names and promises and a certain amount of origi- nality on the part of the sign makers. In the cafeteria will undoubtedly be seen a huge sign hanging from the ceiling. Nominations ore quite often humorous as inexperienced politicians attempt to convince everyone that their candidate is the only qualified Salutatorion, Judy Combes, ii piled a fine average of 94.1 four years of work and study, has com- 3. We give our congratulations. Seniors hod elected Onofre vice-president, and Nancy to get ready for Congress decided A week later, it was discovered that th Gutierrez as president, Barry Jenkins a Tielker as secretary. One of the first responsibilities of these seniors the semi-formal Senior Prom. Members of the Sen on the name Winter Fantasy. Mr. Robert Dornte did a great job at taking core of tickets and money. He and Miss Vera Pence rolled up their sleeves and helped the Seniors to advertise and decorate for the Prom. Miss Pence gove a sigh of relief at the termination of a well-put-on Prom. But, no sooner hod she gotten her breath bock than she smelled the odors of a Senior Bon- quet. Back to work, everyone. And work they did. They made Soyonaro one of the most success- ful banquets of its kind in many years. While time passes until the day of the Senior picnic, a few words must be said about the magnificent doss advisers. One cannot possibly realize the hard work, the huge responsibility, and the tremendous worry that accompanies this honor job. To take on idea and a hondful of hard working students and pro- duce a banquet or prom or picnic with the success that this Senior Class has enjoyed is quite an accomplishment. Miss Pence and Mr. Dornte ore these two advisers, and they deserve the thanks of every senior and the respect of everv teacher. To hove elvo Bender, chosen Best Girl Citizen, holds her trophy feeling of joy, knowing that being a good citizen has i ' lith pride and such advisers is on honor in itself. To Miss Pence und Mr. Dornte, o salute from the Senior Class. Senior classes are here one doy and graduated the next. This doss is no different, but it has been outstanding in such o way thof not very many decades will elapse before it fades from memory.
