.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.
