For seniors, the high school career is over. The FOMEHISO staff finishes its work for the year. and meets its last deadline. But none of the deadlines could have been met without the assistance of many people; so the staff wishes to extend its sincere thanks to: Mr. Lon Watters of Taylor Publishing Company; Mr. Dick Ashe of Ashe Photo Service, Jim Fort, student photographer,, who was always ready when needed, Mrs,. Jackie Burch, our helpful advisor, the teachers and adminsiuation, who were patient, co-operative, and understanding when annual affairs interrupted classes, and all the businesses and individuals, whose financial support made this book possible. Just as Peace River will never cease to flow, our school will continue to send aspiring, young people into the world to make their own tomorrows. 19,69 FOMEHISO STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF...................Gene Waller EDITOR-IN-CHIEF BUSINESS MANAGER-----------— Debbie Beynon BUSINESS MANAGER........................-Gay Clyatt STUDENT PHOTOGRAPHER................Jim Fort COPYEDITOR....................Martha O'Howell COPY EDITOR---------------------Connie Wilkes ADVISOR -------------------- Mrs. Jackie Burch PHOTOGRAPHY.......................Dick Ashe PUBLISHER - --------Taylor Publishing Company ‘ EDITORIAL BUSINESS Chuck Albritton Vince Altman Keith Belcher Carmen Coulter Kenneth Devane Shade Hancock Barbara Fort Barbara Prine Janet Howell Barbara Ross Denise Hymerling Vivian Smith Darlene Loften Jayne Varn Suzie McClellan Pam Williams Bill Trask Jill Whitworth Susan Wright 167 tomorrow t • 1 r ( 'W, .t i’ 1 - 4 ' i i • V. ;. r; ■- ' %V $’ ■ •%l : ■ iil i ■ i, i I « V f ’r • ■ • • V % . . 1 K J • 91 i 168
