Besides the regular after - the - game dances, two special formal dances were also held. The play and musical displayed the student talent of the school to the stu- dent body and the commun- ity. Both homecomings provided a variety of en- tertainment. They aroused a lot of interest and en- thusiasm from the student body. Graduation was the finale to an activity packed year. ACTIVITIES 8 9 Judy and Leslie lead the band in a cheer. The coronation brings many happy smiles. THE SPIRIT OF HOMECOMING The 1966 football homecoming week was a complete success. It included a week full of activities and was topped off with the homecoming dance Saturday. The week’s festivities began with an assembly announcing the court. The members of the court included Marion Pacic, Terry Kannegieter, Sue Beyers- dorf, Kjald Pedersen (our foreign ex- change student), Maria DeYoung, Ed Adams, Judy Griner, Ted Hoffman, Cheryl Loomis, and Gary Sanford. Tues- day was named tradition day, Wednesday was Mr. Irresistible day, Thursday was poster and school color day, and Friday was team honor day. The win over Vicksburg topped the week’s activities Friday. During the half-time ceremonies, Marion Pacic and Terry Kannegieter were crowned king and queen; they reigned over the dance held the following night. First place in the float competition went to the juniors. The sophomores realize it takes hard work to build a float. King Terry pauses to look at the yearbook.

Waiting to be served takes the longest. Faculty delights with cup of coffee. HOMECOMING SHORT, BUT SUCCESS Mr. Brown presents the homecoming court to the student body. Senior team members take a final bow. The Basketball Homecoming had a rough time getting started this year due to certain weather conditions; but through the efforts of Mr. Brown and the home- coming committees, we were able to have an enjoyable week. The activities included a variety of special days, among them being Teddy Bear Day, where each student carried his favorite stuffed animal, a Mourning Day for the opposite team, and a Team Honor Day for the COLTS. The court was presented to the student body on Friday, and Mr. Brown crowned Ted Hoffmann and Judy Griner as king and queen. They reigned over a dance on Saturday, which was a combined Valen- tine Formal and Homecoming dance. Sophomores win poster competition. Team members and court are honored with a delicious cake. 18 Judy Griner Kathy Gearhart Carolyn Klingaman Cheryl Loomis Bonnie Nicklin 19 The Valentine Formal was held February 12 this year and was sponsored by the Student Council. The theme of the annual twirp dance was “Wonderland By Night,” and music was provided by the Squires. A different touch was added to the formal this year giving away boxes of candy to the couple purchasing the first tickets, the best dancers, and the cutest couple of the evening. Mr. Hunt served as the over-all chair- man and received a great deal of credit for the success of the formal. Tony and Louise enjoy dancing to the various songs. 20 Some introductions are made. Smiling faces mean great success. The Squires entertain us with soft music. LIGHTED THIS SPECIAL EVENING Members of the court arouse attention. 21 SHANGRI-LA CLIMAXES Queen Bonnie and King Bob reign over the evening. Jane and Jim were selected Prince and Princess. Everyone enjoyed the evening in Shangri-La. Cooling refreshments were relished by all. Jan and Dave were selected as the Cutest Couple. Judy and Kjeld were the best dancers.

And the lines go on. Steve kisses his dream diploma! Two and a diploma go hand in hand. The organization section shows pic- tures of the various groups in the school and their activities during the year. These organizations range from Future Teachers of America to Teen-Page reporters. During the year, these groups try to earn money for their club. The ma- jority of the clubs sponsor dances after the games. Each club elects officers. Most also become members of Student Council and send a representative to each meeting. Most clubs are also seventh hour activities. Previously this had been a problem, but now with the seventh hour buses it enables even more student participation. ORGANIZATIONS 27 Student Council members are the first to tour the new school building. COUNCIL DISCUSSES PLANS AND RATIFIES NEW CONSTITUTION The officers, front row, lead the Student Council to many successful accomplishments. Left to right: B. Selders, president; S. Bowman, vice president; E. Povilaitis, treasurer; C. McDaniel, secretary. The Student Council was made up of three representatives from each class, class presidents, and club presidents. It was supervised by Mr. Brown. The Council met on Mondays, every two weeks, for a business meeting. The Student Council worked on many projects. They sponsored the Valentine Formal with the aid of teacher super- visors. A new and improved constitution was drafted and put into effect. The election process for class offi- cers, class representatives, and Stu- dent Council officers was also a new innovation at Comstock. It aroused a lot of interest and participation from the students. 28 A.F.S. PROMOTES FRIENDSHIP The American Field Service pro- moted friendship through many activities and accomplished many things with both the Adult and Student Chapters working together. The A.F.S. Carnival and dance, held in October, was a success. In No- vember, the A.F.S. weekend provided fun for everyone. Area A.F.S. students were guests at Comstock for two days. Our own foreign exchange student, Kjeld Pedersen from Denmark made friends wherever he went. He was ac- tive in many activities and was a great contribution to the community. The Chap- ters worked hard at raising money for their exchange student. Kjeld Meets Community at A.F.S. Carnival.

Stu- dents were chosen by the instructors on the basis of their academic achieve- ments and attitudes. Each week,the students had new assignments which they read up on and re- ported their findings back to the other students. The seminars were conducted very informally but informatively.

Besides leading the cheers at the games, they sold pom poms and carna- tions during football home- coming. They also had spe- cial poster parties with the pep club and pep assem- blies with skits to arouse interest in the games. The cheerleaders had only one senior last year, Marion Pacic. 44 Homecoming calls for special cheers, Marion discusses game with Ann and Kathy, Cheerleaders wait while a skit goes on.

Our greatest accomplishment was placing first in the Regional Basketball Tour- nament during our first year in the Wolverine League. The girls built up a lot of enthusiasm in their sports which varied from hockey to tennis. The boys entered many sports in- cluding track, tennis, foot- ball, and many others. As the boys developed their skills, they also learned good sportsmanship. SPORTS 51 WE CHARGE INTO THE WOLVERINE The Comstock football team entered the Wolverine League this year. The Colts completed the season with a record of 3-5-1 and with a 2-4 record in the Wolverine Conference. The outstanding game of the season was their victory over Vicksburg, which gave the final touch to the homecoming week of activities. Considering this was the first season in the Wolverine Con- ference, it proved to be a fairly suc- cessful one.

The freshmen entered with a long road stretching before them and a lot to learn. Sophomores have learned a lot and have set their goals for the future. Finally upperclassmen, the juniors are caught up in a whirl of activities while waiting for their turn as seniors. Seniors are making plans for their fu- ture after their big day, graduation. The administration and the faculty also appear in this section. Their valu- able assistance has helped many stu- dents in their preparation for the future. The album is an attempt to show a picture of all the people who are asso- ciated with the school. It is also a record of friends which we have made over these few years.

Seniors learn to think. ‘Twas the night before Christmas, Seniors meet for U. N. Assembly and to finalize plans for graduation, and all through the halls . . . EXCITEMENT ADDS SPICE Many seniors excell in sports. Courage, leadership, and beauty are displayed by senior boys. Senior spirit is still high at year’s end. Time before classes is short but well spent. The seniors faced last year with the knowledge that it was their last one in high school. It was a year packed with activities and fun. Seniors were in their glory at the end of the year when they were let out a week early. The senior banquet was a new addition to senior activities, and it produced a good turnout. Graduation was the high- light of the year. From this come blow your horn! point, the seniors left to go their separate ways. 86 World affairs are debated by seniors at U. N. Assembly. TO TERMINATION OF HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Pickett presents the top 10 per cent of the senior class to the stu- dent body. College-bound students and winners of scholarships are also announced. Seniors find new ideas. Which one can really fit in the locker? Roll, roll, roll the table . . . Seniors learn the importance of good study habits. Our last homecoming brings enthusiasm from the seniors. Kjeld enjoys most our sports activities. Memories are kept in yearbooks. JUNIORS ASSUME THE JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS, left to right, front: Mary VanderKley, president, Jane VanBruggen, vice president, Barb McDonald, secretary, Mary Sparks, treasurer. Juniors study intently for tests for college. 88 The juniors crowded many activities into a short year. They started out the year by receiving their class rings and selling magazines for the annual drive. Football homecoming was special for the juniors be- cause they won first place in the float contest. Fol- lowing one of the football games, they sponsored a “Peanut’s Dance.” Later in the year, many college- bound juniors took aptitude tests necessary for entering college. In the spring, the juniors hosted the junior- senior prom which is one of the major highlights of the year. Patiently, the juniors await their biggest and busiest year as seniors. There’s always one in a crowd! RANK OF UPPER CLASSMEN Juniors enjoy chatting. Students quiz each other for tests.

At football homecoming, they came in third in the float contest. How- ever, they did better during basketball homecoming when they won the poster contest. Also during this year, the sophomore class picked out and ordered their rings. For the first time in a long time, the ring which was chosen was round. The sophomores look forward to next year when they will be upperclassmen and recieve their rings. They won the poster contest! Onward to the next cage! 92 Lois Applegate Rebecca Baird Carol Ballinger Cindy Bare Lynne Bawkey Jackie Bell John Bell Stella Bird Jim Birmingham Violet Birmingham John Blades Paul Blades Barb Blankenburg Tom Block Paul Bodnar Lynda Borden Jerry Boven Maxine Bradshaw Doug Brandow Marlin Breece Jamie Brown Betty Lou Butler Roger Byers Patti Byrd Sharon Byrd Kim Cameron Donald Campbell Nick Caro Mike Chadderdon Patricia Chadderdon Tom Chapman Leola Chase Kelly Christiansen Bob Clymer Judy Coffman Mel Coffman Emmajean Cole Ken Cole Millie Condit Dave Conor Jack Cook Larry Cook Sherry Cook Betty Cornell Ralph Cramer Robert Cramer Connie Cross Lola Cullum Don DeBleCourt John DeBleCourt Jim Deike Robert Deckard Bill Denaway Lindy Denruyter Bruce Demarest Jeff Deward Marcia DeYoung Burk Doerfer Chris Dondero Alan Dowdy Terry Drake Jeff Dubbeld Mike Duff Carla Dunfield Rene Dunn Linda Dyer Greg Dziewicki Kip Eager Dorothy Edwards Sharon Ellison Clarence Farnham Howard Fawley Barbara Fields Barbara Filibeck Sue Fisher Lynn Fitzgerald Leslie Flower Marvin Fry Karen Fuller Sara Gazdag Dawn Geddings Delores Griffith David Griner John Golden Lance Gray Linda Haggie Paul Hamilton Sue Hamrick Terry Hamrick Connie Harrison Steve Haven Linda Havens Kathy Henson Shirley Hill Marylee Holbrook Linda Honicutt Elizabeth Howard Ron Hubek Greg Hudson Hilda Johnson Judy Johnson James Joslin Debbie Kay Linda Kennedy Belinda Kerr Sharon King Bill Kleckner Libby Kolodzieczyk Lloyd Kraft Joyce Kulikowski Sheri Lane Star la Lewis John Long Lonny Lumbard Chuck Mann Thomas Mann Stuart Martin Deb McDaniel Brenda McQueer Stan Medendorp Sue Meints Jim Messenger Jerry Miller Beverly Minehart Mike Mock Julie Monnier Bill Moore Bob Morrison Harriet Morrison Don Muir Lee Muir Garry Munson Gary Myers Mike Newman Jacki Nicklin Tom Nuyen Dean Ordiway Bill Owens Bill Page Mary Phillips Darlene Pio Kay Pio Mary Pool Chrys Porter Debbie Porter Randy Reiter Bryan Robinson Teresa Rogenski David Rollins Hank Roschek Marie Roschek Ron Rzepczynski Don Sanford Marjorie Santora Ann Sattler Gary Schmuhl Dee Shellman Pam Shoup Bob Simmons Deril Smilanich Bob Smith Karen Smith Rod Smith Steve Smith Bob Snyder Sue Sparrow Jim Srackangast Linda Stanazeck Irene Staten Paul Staten Linda Steinman Rosemary Stermer Nicki Stevens Bill Stockwell Bob Stroud Nick Sutton Rick Sutton Jim Taylor Robert Taylor Donna Thomas Carole Thompson Ann Torian Carol Tubbs Gary Terburg John Tutt Cathy Ufkes Penny Upson Wainetta VanAuken John VanBruggen Bob VandenBos Wendy VanderWeele Doug Vincent David Webster Sherri Wellington Gwenna Westbrook Mark Wester 95 FRESHMEN EXPOSED TO NEW EXPERIENCES FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS, left to right, front: Stan Sparks, president, Jeff Paulsen, vice-president. Back: Colette Lewis, secretary, Helen Pratt, treasurer. It’s nap time in study hall! The freshman class was exposed to many new and different experiences as it was introduced to its first year of high school. One of its biggest accom- plishments was placing second in the annual float contest for football homecoming. Although the freshmen have not en- gaged in many activities yet, they plan many things for next year when they will be sophomores. Eager freshmen put in overtime after school. Between classes, frosh enjoy talks.
