OUR 1961 Senior Cla rlville Hi; iarlville, I CONTENTS TITLE PAGE FOREWORD DEDICATION ADMINISTRATION SENIORS JUNIORS SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN JUNIOR HIGH ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS ADVERTISING IN MEMORIAM On the morning of November 13, 1960, the life of Charles Johnson came to a sudden and an unfortunate end. Sobered and saddened by this unhappy experience, each member of the class felt a sense of personal sorrow. In recognition of this loss, the members of the Class of '61 dedicate this year's annual to the memory of our classmate Charles in the hope and belief that the thought of him will live with us always. ADMINISTRATION Mr. Wicke, superintendent of schools, is responsible for solving a great many problems which concern the effective- ness of our local school system. He never fails to bring forth the most efficient plan of action in his continuous effort to improve the school and the academic achievements of the students. Mrs. Margaret B. Johnson Mrs. Johnson serves as principal of the high school, English teacher, senior class advisor, head of the school library, and director of the senior class play. She has dedicated herself to educating and encouraging high school students, a task which is often difficult, but for her a source of never -ending enjoyment and satisfaction. F MRS.

The board considers the supervision of the instructional, building, transportation, and financial phases of our school. One of the major projects completed tinder the supervision of the board during the 1960-1961 school year was the building of a bus garage on the southeast end of our campus. The board of education compliments the yearbook staff for their outstanding work in preparing a publication which provides for a very important source of public relations between our school and the community.

Our F.H.A., organized several years ago by Mrs. Ernest Craft, is having a very successful year. Although Mrs. Craft resigned in mid-summer to be married to Donald MacDonald, she opened the department in the fall and taught our classes for the first month. During this time she outlined the year's work and helped us plan the activities for our organization. By the end of September, Mrs. Elizabeth Burton had taken over the work of the depart- ment, and under her able direction our club has moved along smoothly and effectively. In November, twenty-five new members were added at our annual initiation. Shortly before Christmas we served a Mothers' tea. During this season we made contributions to a needy family and to the local hospital. In the spring we will have a fashion show of the clothes we have made. We will also take a trip to Chicago to observe fashions and to visit the kitchen of a fine restaurant. We have had one bake sale and expect to have another before the end of the year. As we come to the end of the first semester we are grateful for the work we have accomplished, and are enthusiastically look ing forward to the last half of our school year. We are especially grateful that we have been able to accomplish these things under the guidance of our two fine teachers, Mrs. MacDonald and Mrs. Burton. 41 FRONT ROW: Ed Doughty, Treasurer; Willard Landers, Larry Stanford, Parliamentarian; Ralph Sellers, John Sondgeroth, Richard Sutton.

Annually, members of the Spanish Club enjoy a Christmas party before the holiday season. After a potluck supper the members participate in a traditional Spanish custom of breaking the pinata. This is a large clay jar which is covered with bright-colored paper and filled with nuts, fruits, and candies. It is hung by a cord and the one who is blind- • folded tries to strike it with a stick in order to break it. Everyone then scrambles to get all the goodies he can. 49 GO YOU RAIDERS This 1960-1961 Pep Club is composed of members of the student body from junior high through the senior class. They are on hand for all home games, and travel by bus to those played out of town. The Pep Club, along with the help of our fine cheerleaders, is the ’’steam behind the team. They are the ones responsible for instilling in the team the incentive to win. We, the yearbook staff, would like to give a round of applause to the 1960-1961 Pep Club for its wonderful work, pep, and enthusiasm. You can be proud of yourselves for a job well-done!
