'famed Staff The Yearbook Staff will see the actual finished pro- duct with a sigh of relief and an inner feeling of satis- faction. After months of looking at scraps of material and dismantled pages, it will be hard to believe that all that, went into the Torch. Assembling a yearbook is a great task and requires long hours compiled with ingenuity, patience, and a wanton for achievement. Brian Freas and a force of Seniors started the campaign for ads early and in so doing covered a large area. Last years yearbook was a real challange and we set out to make one iust as good or better than the previous Torch. We have strived to make this book one composed of senior co-operative efforts and consequently a less for- mal, but still informative book. The Yearbook StaH sin- cerely hopes that you like this book. wg--fa STANDING, Left to Right: Sonia Manual, Anne Husted, Esther Cadman, Nancy Lamvermeyer, Dorothy Kasper, Carol Mathes, Emogene Schlechter, Bill Roberts, Jim Miller, Phil Howe, Bob Snider, Jim Rothgery.
