The success of our class would not have been possible had it not been for the many hours of hard work which she has unselfishly given of her time. Not only has she worked energetically in the home economic classes, but she has sacrificed her spare time counseling girls in their problems. A wonderful teacher, she has taught home economics, girls ' physical education, general science, and health. For her help and inspiration in aiding the Senior Class, we extend our thanks. O. H. WISTHUFF Unit Superintendent MARIE WHITE Unit Secretary SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE In ancient Greece the Olympic games were held every ten years. Only the best and greatest athletes were allowed to compete. A high point of the games was a cross-country distance race. The victor was alwyas highly ac- claimed. This race, however, was different in one respect from all others. As it began, each runner was handed a lighted torch. The object of the race was not only to be the first across the finish line--but also to keep that torch burning. The parable is not hard to see. Not only are we to compete in life and struggle manfully for the victor’s prize--we are also to keep our torch aflame--our witness and example must light the way for others. MEN HAVE DIED TO LEAVE YOU THESE FOUR SYMBOLS OF FREE- DOM: A HOLY BIBLE--symbol of your right to worship as you wish. A DOOR KEY- -your right to lock your door against illegal govern- ment force and prying. A PENCIL- -freedom to speak or write what you think, whether you agree with the government or not. AND A FREE BALLOT --your right to choose the people who represent you in government- -your protection against government tyranny. We who are your teachers pass the torch to you. Carry it proudly. O. H. Wisthuff PRINCIPAL S MESSAGE STARS TO GUIDE YOU Anonymous authors have contributed the following gems of thought which I sincerely hope will enlighten and help guide you: Have an idea! Good men are busy men. Success is a dream mixed with hard work and persistent effort. Save a part of whatever you make. Modern business needs knowledge, ability, and common sense. Triumph is just umph added to try. ” Have faith in God, in your country, in others, and in yourself. Love people--they are a lot like you. Freedom calls for respect for the rights of others. Nothing in life can be compared to the joy of a happy home. It is not who is right but what is right that is the important thing in life. A good reputation is priceless- -yet you can have it. Work hard for what you want and want what is right. See the greatness in our democracy and help keep it strong. Learn to say kind things- -nobody ever resents them. The more you think about helping others, the less time you ' ll have to feel sorry for yourself. Be good for something. Think for yourself! Seniors--On behalf of our faculty we extend to you a joyous and successful journey ahead. --Denzil Halcom ESTHER FLOYD High School Secretary BOARD OF EDUCATION MILFORD HUISINGA LLOYD REESER FACULTY WILLIAM SCROGGS WAYNE SIGLER LAWRENCE GREGORY Chemistry Algebra I, H Ag I, II, III, IV Physics Practical Math General Science Plane Geometry ROGER WELLER Biology Boys ' Physical Education Citizenship Track and Cross Country Coach Basketball Coach Assistant Football Coach CAROL KURZ JOHN STOCK JEANETTE SHERFEY American Problems World History Girls Swimming American History Office Practice Shorthand I Typing I Business Math English III French I, U DENZIL HALCOM ELSIE TRIGG DONALD MOODY Bookkeeping Girls’ Physical Education English I, II, IV Boys ' Chorus CLIFFORD DOBBS Driver ' s Education Boys ' Swimming American History Football Coach Assistant Basketball Coach KAREN HANSON JAMES FLEISHER KAY LEISCHNER Girls ' Chorus Mixed Chorus Band Home Economics I II, El, IV COOKS AND CUSTODIANS SENIORS KAREN ATTEBERRY Girls’ Chorus 1,2, 3, 4; Mixed Chorus 1, 3,4; Sextette 3,4; Special Chorus 2; Newspaper 3,4; Junior Editor 3; Co-Edi tor 4; F.
