Leisa Stuen s duties and responsibilities keep her at school long after fellow classmates have gone home. 138 Seniors In Memory of Brian Veness and Mike McKinnon Sometimes it’s hard To understand Why some must go so young. Before they've time To dream their dreams. Before their songs are sung. Could there be greater Work for them. Or possibly release From something where They cannot find An answer to their peace? It must be that our lives Are planned. We have a time to go - May faith help us To understand What we can't see or know BRIAN KEITH VENESS: He expressed his love for nature by train- ing and riding horses. Brian was a friendly and outgoing student although he was content to be by himself. MICHAEL PAUL MCKINNON: Besides participating in wrestling and other school activities. Mike also enjoyed snowmobile racing for which he won many awards. Seniors 139 College Exams Plague Juniors In the midst of everything . “Have you got your license? PSAT-NMSQT!

We. as editors, became responsible for a book that would be remembered and read in the years to come—a book that portrayed the year 1973. We worked together with our staffs who made our job alot easier and more enjoyable. We owe special thanks to our advisor, Mr. Bernauer, for his guiding foot, to all our teachers who were understanding when we averaged two days a week in class during deadlines, and to the rest of the faculty, administration, and personnel who helped us in so many ways. Also, appreciation goes to: Jerry Nimis for his help in photography, Shari Wolff for her announcements, Vickie Nelson and Paige Hanson for extra ad selling, and Carol Olseen and Mary Muellner for their help in concessions when the going got rough.
