Senior class officers Larry Bartels, treasurer and Jim Lund, president, are looking over Clarice Heeler's shoulders at her minutes book. They find the office a good place to get together. Absent was Lyle Wan-drei, vice president. Another unforgettable highlight was the receiving of our class rings, and the honor placed on one of our fellow classmates. Gordon Mork. who was chosen first all-school president, and Dwight Hoffman as vice president. This year's plans, under the direction of the class president Gordon Mork, were realized as our banquet with the chosen theme “20.000 Leagues Under the Sea” and our “American in Paris Prom were successful and accomplished. We also had the privilege of sending the first four exchange students, Gordon Mork , Barbara Anderson, Glen O'Brien and Carol Johnson to Germany. Then this year we entered the new building, feeling pride that we would be the first class to graduate from this beautiful building. This was to become the biggest and best year yet. We began with the excitement of choosing our first football Homecoming Queen, Catherine Miller, and her two charming attendants, Karen Gronli and Daneen Anderson. And during these homecoming activities we put on the Alumni Tea. Merry Ellen Peterson got to the regional Voice of Democracy contest and Linda Huffman was chosen Our three years have been eventful As we seniors receive our diplomas on Graduation day, June 6, many of us will be thinking about the many experiences, activities, knowledge and the counselling we received through the years to make this important day of our lives possible. Thinking back, it seems unlikely that three years ago we entered the old old senior high building just a little fearful of what was ahead. Slowly we made the adjustments under the leadership of our sophomore class president Jimmy Lund. We became a part of the school as we chose our first lovely football attendant. Mary Kay Chamberlin and decorated our first float for the half-time program. Many of us attended our first formal the night of the Winter Sno Swirl, and later attended our first class party. New events seemed always to be happening, with us taking an active part in them and as such, we chose our basketball attendant, Roxie Hackett, and later cheered our basketball team on while it became I ake Conference champions. This new and lively year was climaxed by the Sophomore girls and boys serving at the Junior-Senior banquet and the excitement of the breaking of ground for our new high school building, in which we would be the first class to graduate. Upon returning from our summer vacation, we as juniors began to realize that if our sophomore year had been hectic, our junior year would hold iwicc the activities and duties. We spent many hours working and planning for the important prom and banquet. In order to finance these two projects all of us helped at baked sales, paper drives, dances and concessions at games. Intermingled in this planning was the important choosing of our football homecoming attendant Marcia Thorson. Hopkins Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow. Then the senior class had charge of the Sno Days Coronation ceremony with our exchange student, Kaija Komsi, chosen as our queen with Doris Bla-ger and Demaris Dernier the senior attendents. We were all very proud of our basketball team which became take Conference Champions. It seemed to mean so much more to us. The Banquet and Prom climaxed this year but the administration, teachers, advisers and classmates all helped to make our years unforgettable.
