Four of our seniors - Dennis Coady, Larry Cook, Tom Leinart, and Wiley Kendle - were three year letter- men and finished their varsity careers with a fine 23 win 1 loss record. This enviable record is a tribute to the effort that has gone into the football program. It is an exam- ple of the sacrifice needed for success. The continued success of this program will depend upon the desire of future teams to work, strive, and sacrifice for their goals. Coach G. McKeever Sitting: J. Frieling, mgr., G. Wood, B. Larson, R.

Alas, we've lost many friends, Since our Junior High School days. Some have moved, some married. And others lost their way. But as we look to the future This Graduation Day, 86 MEMORIUM ♦ SECTION TO EDWARD KIRK AND CLASSMATES AND FRIENDS. BILLSIEBENALER We wish our size was two greater, With Ed and Bill whose smiles brightened each day. Each always had a willing spirit. No task was to great for them. I They'd give of their time and effort Anyday to help a friend. Because we'll all remember them, This memory we'd like to leave, For we will miss them as friends, But we know they had to leave. 87 Lyle Courtnage Chorus 2; Operetta 1; FFA 1; Basket- ball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1; Intramural 3, 4; B-Club 3, 4; Forensics Club 4; Science Club 3, 4; Student Council 2; Class Play 3, 4; Stage Band 4; Forensic Play 4; Junior All School Play 4; Honor Graduate; Heisey Award 4; Rocky Mountain Honor Scholarship.
