As the year draws to a close, the seniors are able to look back upon their final year with pride. 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. Of these things they can be very proud, The class trip to Chicago will remain one of the most memorable events of their four years. The boat ride, the educational tours, and the afternoon at Riverview Park made the trip unforgettable. 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 .
