10 — Opening As students at Conner Sr. High, we have a lot to be proud of when it comes to the school and our individual achievements. Ever since the school opened it has had the nickname of Basketball Crazy Conner. Then Coach Lewis appeared on the scene and no one can decide if Conner is all football or all basketball. We've also had a high record of achievement in wrestling with six state champions so far. The baseball program isn't to be scoffed at either, as the team always puts forth its best efforts. Mr. Hull and his Marching Cougars have set a standard of excellence that is maintained annually. This year the band won an eight and one-half foot trophy which set a world record and will be printed in the Guinness Book of World Records. Our F.F.A. class gets into their work, too. Noelle Lawson won first place in horticulture judging, Kevin Peach received first place in tobacco auctioneering, and Ray Thiessan went down-state for impromptu speaking. Shari Clifton was an outstanding student in F.H.A. She served as President of the club and organized a drive for the Women's Crisis Association. Here at Conner, there is always something to cheer about; an edible school lunch, graduation night, passing an impossible test, talking your parents into letting you stay out late, and, of course, who wouldn't applaud those snow days!

THE ©RAND FINALE All of the acts have been played. The curtain is opening for the final time on this stage. This is the last opportunity for the Seniors at Conner to show everyone who they are and what they have to offer. Eleven plays have previously been presented, and now they must leave in this theater, the per- formances by which they will always be remembered.- The closing performance has two acts which are separated by a slight in- termission - Christmas break. Homecomings, Senior Dinner Dance, ordering of invitations, and caps and gowns are the props which heighten the enthusiasm and anticipation of the show. The second act begins and the lights become brighter as the tension and ex- citement mount. Prom has come and gone. Senior Day is over as quickly as it came. The florescent, glaring lights are almost too much, and the actors must stop for a breather. The show has had different mean- ings for all. The lights are slowly dim- ming and the curtains are being drawn. Tears are being shed — whether they be for the joy of an ending, or the sorrow and let down which accompany a climax. The stage is empty now, and the performance is over. The theater is deserted and will never again see the joys of these same performers. They have gone on to even bigger acts, with only memories remaining. ABOVE LEFT: The cast of the Christmas Variety Show. ABOVE RIGHT: Coach Skoog gives some last minute in- structions.
