Representative Barbara Barlqe: Barb is the sort of girl you've always heard about, but have to go to Fergus Falls High to find. She is a girl who can do almost any' thing and do it well. Being valedictorian would be enough for the rest of us, hut Barb lends a helping hand in every phase of school life. A day with her would probably include a beforefschool hand practice, a full six hours of studies, and, after most of us have gone home, more workaun the annual or the Otter. Come suppertime, and she hurries home, only to return for International, Thespian, or prefflight. Her spare time achievements have also included winning a state essay contest and participation in a district speech festival. Although quiet and eflicient, she is also wellfknown for her gay laughter and Mpractical jokes. Her dependability is a joy to her teachers, and her willingness to work is something ever. we students appreciate. She may be small, but she's going to leave a big void in Fergus High. Although younger than most seniors Walter has encountered no difficulty in holding his own among the oldsters. Thorough and de- pendable, he carries through any assignment. His consistently level- headed and mature opinions are respected by all of us, and he has proved his executive ability as business manager of the Otter. During his three years in band and orchestra, he has developed into a mainstay of the trombone section. And what would the bass section of the chorus be without Walt? A firm believer in the saying, clothes help make the man, Walter nevertheless proves his true versatility by doing equally well in overalls at home on the farm. Here is a man for whom opportunity will knock more than once, in fact, a man for whom opportunity has been looking.

.PNWQ f- Seniors Mary Lois Rulifson: Fifteen rahs for Loueyl If she has a lot of pep, a ready smile, and a helping hand, that's probably Mary Lois you've been noticing. Refreshing, yet sensible, she is one of the outstanding personalities of Fergus High. Boundless energy and activity make her a familiar 'figure around school, at basketball and football games, and even on Main Street, where you will likely find her getting ads for the annual or leading a homecoming pep meeting. She is also noted for her efficiency- for the way she gets things done while the test of us are still discuss' ing them. Winning this year's D. A. R. award is a fitting climax to four years of high school activity. All this, coupled with a high scholastic average, makes us realize that here is a girl who will make her mark in the world. Gaius Thede: He may wander aimlessly down the halls with apparently nothing on his mindg but beneath that calm exterior lies morefthanfaverage ability, as evidenced by Gayo's long list of activities and scholastic achievements. As president of the Student Council, he has impressed us all with the importance of that body, and his fine speaking voice has made a success of many a convocation program. His ability as a writer earned for him first place in the annual V. F. W. city wide essay contest, and for his interest in science he has named recipient of the Bausch' Lomb Award. Gaius rounds out his character with his musical abilities-singing bass in the chorus, playing the string bass in the orchestra, and pound' ing a mean marimba. Having lived in Japan most of his life, Gaius has attended Wash' ington High for only one and onefhalf years, but in this short time, he has carved for himself a definite niche in Fergus Falls.
