Government Is Key to Democracy On the morning of October 15, 1962. the representatives for county government day and Mr. Sterup, American History instructor, departed from the high school for the courthouse. Each person visited his respective office and gained knowledge in that particular field. During lunch the 1962 Girl's Staters from Kimball and Dix reported on their experiences at Girl's State. This year everyone in the American History Classes selected an office in which they were interested and filed for this position. The students in the American History Classes voted on the candidates. Those attending were: J. Wynne, Veterans Service; G. Peterson, Judge; P. Brown. Treasurer; D. Steadman. Welfare; H. Strasheim, B. Halcomb, and C. Jennings - Commissioners; D. Rebein, Sheriff; S.

to Honor and Responsibility The National Honor Society Officers for this year were: Ron Gentry, vice president; Margene Harris, president; Mrs. Morehouse, sponsor; Betty Stahla, secretary-treasurer; and Dona Baltensperger, chaplain. Character. Scholarship. Leadership, and Service, form the foundation of the highest honor organization in school. The faculty selects students for membership in National Honor Society whom they feel excel in these four traits. Many students aim their high school years toward this end. This year the Longhorn Chapter of the NHS undertook many interesting new projects. Members of NHS were on hand to help at Parent-Teacher conferences. The honor students sold apples on Wednesdays after school throughout the year. A monthly radio program was presented by National Honor Society members. In April, NHS members installed a new NHS Chapter in Pine Bluffs. (UPPER RIGHT) Students purchase apples from Dona Baltensperger, Mar-gene Harris, and Galene Houghtaling on a Wednesday after school.
