Their accomplishments have been numerous. They were awarded first place in the home- coming parade for their float Raid 'Emf' They also put on one of the most successful class plays of all time.

With the guidance of their advisors, Mr. Putney and Mrs. Jacobs, the seniors find it difficult to leave their school days behind them. They will do this, however, with confi- dence and pride, and with a feeling of accom- plishment. On March 1 the seniors held their Pizza Pop Odd Sock Hop. lt featured, as the name suggests, pizzas, Pepsi, and odd socks. Several pizzas were raffled off and the prize of a pizza was divided between Betty Holst and Sue Ehrecke, who shared the distinction of having the oddest socks. TO ORRO The government classes spent a day in Tipton touring the various government offices in the county courthouse. The seniors found the sheriff's of- fice and the courtroom to be most interesting. Here are Lana Rekemeyer acting as court reporter, Tinker Schukar as the judge, and Marlene Turkle, who finds the judge very unsympathetic. i fx Lg if K I ig , , js G f ,.,.......E'L:5 .

She and the other top scorers will be returning for another season. The lone senior on the squad was Jeanine Riessen, a four year letter- winner, who will be sorely missed in the coming year. Jeanine finished her career in fine fashion, capturing 12 rebounds per game and setting a school record of Z1 rebounds in one game. Coach Groom expresses the belief that next year's season should look a little brighter with the return of all top scoring forwards and four regular guards. He adds that with nine return- ing major lette rwinners and a good group of eighth grade girls coming up, competition for team positions should be great. KNEELING: Coach Armin Groom.

ILDCAT STAFF FINANCES YEARBOOK The goal of every yearbook staff is to make its book the very best yet. The '63 yearbook was paid for through the sale of advertis- ing to business places, the sale of pies by the staff, and the pur- chase of the book and plastic pro tector covers by the students and faculty. After financing, there is copy to write, pictures to take, pages to be pasted and proofread. All of these things go into a yearbook and provide a memory of the year 1963. Joan Siems and Sue Ehrecke, co- editors of the 1963 Wildcat, are putting the finishing touches on pages before sending them to the ' All 1 I 'U printer. 54 If you were to look into the typing room on the night before the Biz is released, you would view the staff typing frantically to meet the deadline.

You seniors clean out your lockers and say good-bye to your friends, knowing that you have gained a great deal through your high school days. You underclassmen will have more good times to look forward to in the years to come. But you have the responsibility to make the most of your educa- tion. Make every day count--there is not time to lose. On behalf of the 1963 Wildcat staff, We would like to express our thanks to those who helped finance our book with advertisements and sub- scriptions, to those who helped by providing pic- tures, and to all those who gave special little efforts toward the making of the yearbook.
