THE YEARBOOK STAFF - This organization is probably one of the hardest working in the entire school. These members have given up many hours of their own time to make this book the best ever presented to the student body. Juniors on the staff gained experience for next year's book, while Seniors strove to make this truly a book of the 1968-69 year. L. to R. - 1-J. Wallington, D. Boyer, V. Leedy, B. Marra, G.

Many stu- dents put great effort into the planning and actual decorating of the high school gym to recreate an old Roman atmosphere. Six girls competed for the title of Miss Houghton Lake. Great variety of talent was displayed. First on the program was Linda VonSee, who modeled a ward- robe of her own creation. Next was Debie DeLano, setting a musical mood by playing Softly as I Leave You and Wonderland by Night on the organ. She was followed by Alice in Wonderland, portrayed by Viki Leedy, with charcoal illustrations. Then Cherrie Alton used her years of experience as a cheerleader to present a pom-pom dance routine to the music of The Horse. The fifth contestant was Sue Greenwald, playing a clarinet solo with her own prerecorded accompaniment. Last but not least was Corrine Dove, with her guitar, playing and singing an orginal composition. Each of the girls appeared for a final time in the evening gown competition. The climax of the evening was reached as the judges' decision was announced. Second Runner-up was Miss Viki Leedy; First Runner-up was Miss Debie DeLano; and the title of Miss Houghton Lake 1969 was given to Miss Linda VonSee. is Miss Linda VonSee!

The senior trip is an experi- ence which will never be forgotten by any of those who went. Who could forget the riding, the walk- ing, the sitting, the standing, the talking, the playing, the teasing, the sightseeing, the learning, the listening, the sleeping, the gooking around... ? There's no place like home! 82 Graduation the end — The beginning REBECCA JANE MARRA, Valedictorian I pledge allegiance A time to smile and a time to shed tears . . . Anxiously waiting. The lineup.

Much ends with graduation, yet much begins. With the completion of high school, a person is better equipped to acquire his place in society. Through his years at HLHS, the student receives the timbers to build the foundation for his future life.

The last step toward the beginning of the future ... A time for appreciation ... This page is lovingly dedicated to the Bobcat staff of 1969 at the request of their advisor, Mrs. Gaukel. Many hours of planning and actual work goes into each page of your annual. Your editors, staff members, business manager, and photographer have worked hard to make this one of the finest books I’ve supervised. The Bobcat has increased in size as well as value. Our business manager has done an excellent job of keeping our finances straight. I, personally, would like to thank each mem- ber who has given so generously of his or her time, and to express the appreciation and pride the student body must feel as they receive this publication. We also thank the teachers and administration for their patience and cooperation while we were taking pictures. Last, but not least, our sincere appreciation to Mr. Kenney who gave unselfishly of his time. - Mrs. Gaukel, advisor . . . a time to keep silence, and a time to speak . . . Life is measured by inches. By steps taken one at a time, Not by the height of the peak we seek, But each little rise we ciimb. The span of our life is measured Minute by minute - not years; We live in a very small world of our own In a vast universe of spheres ... 136
