ing our teams on to victory this year was Connie Larsen with Carolyn Luchsinger, head cheerleader. The highlight of the traditional homecoming game was the crowning of the King and Queen Boyd Rosacker and Lois Davis. They were attended by Karlyn Kuper and Neil Jouvenat; Carolyn Luchsinger and Kurt Leininger, Jean Pittman and Dale Risk, and Rita Speckmann and Larry Ball. Amid the winter snow flurries, Mary McEncmey was crowned Snow Queen, December 20. Her attendants were Jeanette Ahrens and Connie Larsen. Margaret Erickson became editor of the Annual; Neil Jouvenat, advertising manager; and Kurt Leininger, business manager. All three served as assistants to the yearbook in their junior year. The efforts of the junior class are appreciated by the seniors in making the Junior-Senior Prom on May 12, 1961, a most memorable occasion during our senior year. Baccalaureate was held in the Columbus Senior High auditorium, May 28. At Commencement exercises, May 31, the class of 1961 reached its destination as each received his diploma. The Commencement speaker was Dr. W. A. Brandenburg, President of the Nebraska State Teachers College of Wayne. The seniors all leave much wiser than when we entered, carrying many treasured memories and a feeling of loyalty to good old Columbus Senior High School.
