Challenge Lies Ahead Barbara Brandner Secretary Barbara Bain Treasurer Mr. Charles Keyser Sponsor During the first cool days of autumn, in 1962, the class of ’66, 119 strong, began a fresh new life for themselves in high school. Now, as seniors, they take a backward glance at their past four years and realize how quickly they have slipped by. As flustered “freshies” they flocked to Hall High School anxious to begin high school careers. They found confusion in the locker systems, in the crowded hallways, and in finding many classrooms. They somehow endured the first few weeks of their “new experience’’ and as the year progressed they toured the Hennepin Power Plant and enjoyed a trip to Chicago to see the stage play “Mary, Mary.” Their project of the year found them knocking at doors selling stationery. As sophomores they enlarged their class treasury by holding a work day. By hard work and much effort, they sponsored a most successful Sadie Hawkins dance. They demonstrated their initiative by constructing a prize-winning Homecoming float, and they showed their ability to compete by leading the Frosh-Soph team to North Central Football and Basketball Championships. Newly acquired uppcrclass rank brought more responsi- bility to the Class of ’66 as juniors, as they entered their third year at high school. Their junior year was an active one, filled with projects, parties, and problems. They were engaged in fund-raising activities such as working in concession stands, selling magazines, and sponsoring the movie “Send Me No Flowers.” Arrival of class rings gave them a firm signal of rank as they paraded hands before envious underclassmen eyes. “April in Paris,” annual junior prom, dominated junior minds as they transformed the gym into a realistic Paris scene. Accepting responsibility as leaders with assumed superiority, they, as seniors, arrived in September to take possession of top jobs. They began their final year under the leadership of Rich Chiesi, president; Terry Cinotte, vice-president; Barbara Brandner, secretary; and Barbara Bain, treasurer. Mr. Charles Keyser served as their able class adviser. As senior representatives to Student Council, they elected Susan Paglia, Sandra Maurer, Luanne Theodore, and Karen Nauyalis. To lead the Devils on to victory, they chose Judy Casford, Susan Paglia, and Luanne Theodore. Early October found them busy with plans for the Homecoming, the highlight of their final year. King Richard Sharkey and Queen Judy Casford reigned over the homecoming festivities. Betty Abney and Susan Paglia were elected attendants to the queen. As in the preceding years, their collection of treasured memories grew as they were caught in the whirl of exams, studies, athletic and social events, club projects, and assemblies. Headaches and numbed fingers resulted from ACT tests and college extrance exams. Fourth year status brought to them a feeling of pride as they planned their graduation, ordered announcements, were measured for caps and gowns, received Honors Day awards, and experienced the thrill of being tapped for the National Honor Society. And so they leave HHS, character and ideals molded, hoping to succeed, remembering their past four years at Hall. 22

National Honor Society Installs Twelve Members “I believe in character as the foundation of life; in scholarship as a means to achievement; in leadership as a worthy aim; and in service as the object and end of living. To the upholding of these ideals, I now pledge myself, mind, and spirit.” This was the pledge taken in May by twelve new members of the National Honor Society. An impressive ceremony conducted by LaSalle-Peru-Oglesby Junior College students (themselves NHS members while in high school) installed these students into the local chapter. Their selection was based on leadership, service, scholarship, and character. To be eligible they must have had a “B” average during their high-school career, and the final selection was made by vote of the faculty. These twelve students have attained the highest honor given to a graduating senior at Hall. 1966 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY MEMBERS Luanne Theodore Valedictorian Karen Nauyalis Salutatorian Barbara Bain Barbara Brandner Linda Galetti Sandra Maurer Carol Blanco Terry Cinotte Karen Klein Karen Nauyalis Gary Boucher William Croisant Pamela Mahoney Luanne Theodore Senior Honor Roll I n order of scholastic rank: 1.
