Freshman students in homemaking class enjoy studying pattern books for styles as they prepare to sew for spring semester projects and model at Easter fashion show. That extra push into the realms of knowledge needed to face the world after graduation is provided by the teachers at Duncan High. Hideous smells of formaldehyde from the biology classes were mixed with sweet aromas of cooking food from the homemaking department. Many students burned the midnight oil to finish research themes for English I and English IV. Another experience was their requirement of a paper every six weeks for American government. If Duncan’s seniors are not prepared to buckle down and work in college, it will not be the fault of the faculty. Gradu- ates must now choose the road of life for themselves. Faculty, Curriculum 17

Sunshine and snow mix during March. RIGHT: Spring Fever and the Junior-Senior Prom combined to give the seniors an idea for a car wash, and business boomed. They had to turn cars away. In March, came a big snow, but even at 8:30 a.m., the sun was melting it fast. BELOW: Eilene Boyett and Sherrell Mortensen thoughtfully track patterns in the lovely, rare, sparkling sub- stance. Just before Ditch Day, which began May 20, the caps and gowns arrived, and seniors lined up to claim them and take them home to be pressed for Baccalaureate. 16

Mr. Elvin Lunt, now completing his first term, will run for reelection if he wishes to continue after January, 1966. Altogether three members will be elected in 1965, to complete the five- man membership. The candidate re- ceiving the highest number of votes will gain a five-year term; second in the count will have a four-year term; and the candidate running third will serve for three years. On each suc- ceeding year the member elected will serve for five years. Serving at present with Mr. Lunt are Mr. Frank Willis, whose third term began Jan 1, 1965; and Mr. Alfred Attaway, now in the middle of his third term. Problems facing the board include discipline, finance, and selection of personnel. In all, the staff for Duncan Schools numbers about 50.
