Mr. Lundberg crowns Jan Swanson queen of the 1966 BFD. Receiving her crown and holding a dozen red roses, Jan appears to be a very happy girl . The Court of Carmine began their year publishing a calendar for every month. These calendars were given to the student body, and proved to be a helpful reminder of the activities planned for that month. Carmines next project was the second annual BFD, (Boys Federation Dance). This was a great success because of the help of the various clubs of Ferris. Each club nominated a girl to represent that club as their queen candidate. Every girl had a decorated locker into which pennies were cast as votes. On the eve of the dance, pennies were counted, and because her locker had the most pennies in it, Jan Swanson was announced queen of the 1966 BFD. On February 9, the new officers were installed into their positions for the spring semester. The guest speaker was Mr. Bob Lewis, who did a fine job in helping to make the installation a success. Finishing their year, the Court of Carmine held a car rally on April 16. This proved to be a very successful money raising project and fun for the whole student body.

Dresden and League of Dresdens activities started off with the Big and Little Sister Party in September titled Our Blooming Years. This was a pleasant welcome to the new girls coming into Ferris in the fal I . The girls next major project was in October with their annual Dad Daughter Desert called Making Pappy Happy. On December 17, Noel was enjoyed by many. This very successful dance made the 65 Christmas more poignant than ever. As a Christmas gift, the League of Dresden gave fifty dollars to Ferris ' Friendship club. This went for a party for the elder patients who have been released from Eastern State Hospital . The New Year was started off on January 3, by celebrating the first annual Joel E. Ferris Day. This was in honor of Mr. Ferris ' birthday, January 2, 1874. The spring officers were installed February 9, 1966, in the traditional candlelighting ceremony of the League of Dresden. The first project for the new officers was to make identical dresses for themselves to be worn at important activities. This was fun for the girls and impressive to others as well . Spring was sprung at Ferris as all enjoyed the third annual Cotton Day on April 5. This array of spring colors before spring vacation was a welcomed change for all . Ending Dresden ' s busy and successful year was the Mother Daughter Tea held on May 3. This was a most enjoyable ending to another wonderful and eventful year for the League of Dresden .

Tet the Scarlet and Enthusiastically supporting the Saxon teams this year were the Valkyrs. Under the direction of presidents Stephanie Craven and Sue Pease, and vice presidents Pattie Grams and Connie Hefte, this is one of the most active organizations at Ferris. Led by drill masters Julie Graves and Meegan Breen these girls spent most of their time preparing marching routines for football games and the Lilac Parade. Being asked to march at Whitworth ' s homecoming was a great honor to them. Activities for the year included a breakfast for the varsity football players after their first victory, helping with the March of Dimes, Christmas carol- ing at nursing homes, ushering and selling tickets for school events, and caring for orphans at St. Joseph ' s Childrens Home. With the help of publicity chairmen Yvonne Cloninger and Marjorie Herbert the Valkyrs made signs advertising varsity sports. In order to earn money for uniforms they sold tickets to games, under the direction of treasurers Barbara Brown and Wendy Gookstetter, and gave two dances, headed by social chairmen Meegan Breen and Gail Kirk. With the help of the secretaries, Kathy James and Carol Sommer, and the sergeants at arms, Marsha Buster and Steffi Sivertson, a merit system was formed this year for girls who give extra service and time for the bene- fit of their school and community.
