Seniors Salute Mrs. Kerr on Class Day With the approach of graduation there followed an increase in senior activities, the first of which was the Senior Banquet held at the Holiday Inn on May 14. There, in accompaniment with the delicious food, giftorians Laura Hiner and Stephen Bowers provided enjoyment as they presented the individual seniors with a memento containing a meaning special to that boy or girl. They also gave each attending teacher a gift significant of the past year. May 31, the Monday before the beginning of exams, was dedicated to the graduating class. In the special Senior Day assembly the girls, dressed in white and carrying red roses, and the boys in coats and ties followed the class officers as they marched into the auditorium. As the program progressed, class president Doug Cruickshanks introduced in turn Bruce Nolte, class historian; Steve Larson, substituting for Linda Brittle, with the Last Will and Testament; Peggy Krause, class poet; and Mike Wes- sells, class prophet. At the end of the assembly, Mrs. Anne Kerr received a gift in appreciation of her work as class sponsor.
