Who is the greatest of them all? Seniors! Left to right: Bill Campbell, Caro- lyn Johns, Pam Goddard. Class of 64, your hour has come. Reality is no longer just around the comer. Most of you can face the future without fear. Your class has left a record of which it can well be proud. Take a brief look into the last four years. You have had a greater number of students on the honor roll than any other class. Your student council has benefited immensely from vour leaders—Dan Reigle, president: Rich Cojlins, vice-president: Mary Mortensen, treasurer: and Anita Byer, secretary. Your class officers have been well chosen—Presidents—Lester Rhodes, Jim Santee, Rich Col- lins, and Bill Campbell; Vice-Presidents—Carol Butter- baugh, John Tiffany, Dan Reigle, and Carolyn Johns: Secretary-Treasurers—Martha Potts, Sue Gunner, Herb Fritz, and Pam Goddard. It will be hard indeed to find a class whose girls have more beauty and personality than yours. Consider your queens and attendants—Sharon We id man, homecoming queen and junior attendant; Becky Childers and Linda Saunders, senior attendants; Carol Heckman, sophomore attendant; Mary Mortensen, freshman attendant. What class has shown more spirit and will to win? You have won the school spirit trophy tw'o years in a row. Chiefly responsible for this enthusiasm were your cheer- leaders—Jane Ann Weigle, Diane Feldkirchner, Pam God- dard, Carol Heckman, Judy Wright, and Mary Mortensen. Who can account for the successes of your athletic teams? With your coaches you have worked to bring football back to Dixon. V our freshman, sophomore, junior varsity, and varsity basketball teams have won a combined total of 50 games against only 19 losses. Your wrestling teams have done an outstanding job and several of your boys are three yey lettermen in the sport. Class of 64, your record is quite complete, but w hat about the other parts of school? What about that first day four years ago when you walked through those big doors feeling small and insignificant, waiting to be accepted in a w'hiri- ing teenage society. What about that first date or that first big dance where you seemed to be all feet and helplessly tongue-tied? How about your sophomore year when you knew all and dared anyone to tell you differently, or your junior year when you seemed to gain that confidence and poise that marked you as an upperclassman? Remember the day you got your class ring, and the days afterward when you exchanged it for a dream and regained it for a broken heart soon to be healed and then rebroken again. Remember your first prom when even the extreme heat couldn’t spoil an evening for which you had waited so long. Class of 64, you do remember these things, and yet within you there is a growing restlessness which tells you there are new goals to seek, new fields to conquer, and new experi- ences to be gained and stored in your memory. 28
