SENIORS TOUR CAPITAL SITES Seniors pose on Capitol steps. On February 18, 1965, all of the seniors journeyed to Pierre to view their State Legis- lature in action. The twenty-six seniors, together with Mr. Schanzenbach and seven senior parents, left for Pierre at 6:30 a.m. They arrived in Pierre at 9:30 at which time they toured the State Capitol Building and Museum. All ate a noon buffet style lunch at the Holiday Inn Cafe. After the noon meal, the seniors viewed the House in action, and they also toured the site of the Oahe Dam, which is only a few miles from Pierre. Five o'clock found the seniors preparing to begin their 160-mile journey home, and by 5:30 p.m, all were on their way home after spending an enjoyable and educational day at the South Dakota State Capital. Class tours Oahe Dam. Boy, talk about tired feet!

TOKENS SENIORS TREASURE As the past four years are reviewed, it is noted that the freshman class of 1961 had thirty-one members, and now, due to students moving to and away from Leola, only twenty-six seniors graduated on May 26, 1965. It is remarkable, too, that eight of these twenty-six seniors have attended twelve years of school in the Leola school system. A series of events were attended and partici- pated in by this senior class of 1965. They are as follows: Sept., 1961 - Initiation and the Homecoming Dance Sept., 1962 - Initiation and the Homecoming Dance (only this time we initi- ated). May, 1964 - Jr.-Sr. Prom (sponsored by the 1961 freshmen). Beginning in September, 1964, the seniors were to experience their most memorable year. Some of the highlighting events experienced by all were as follows: Nov., 1964 - ACT Tests; College Night Dec., 1964 - Last LHS Christmas Concert in which seniors would par- ticipate. Jan., 1965 - Senior Pictures Feb., 1965 - Trip to Pierre May, 1965 - Jr.-Sr. Prom (at which the seniors were guests of honor). The last week of high school proved to be the most eventful for the 1965 seniors. Baccalaureate took place on May 23rd and was followed by the annual Awards Night. Following their school picnic on May 26th, we found the seniors participating in their final high school event, commencement, at which time they were presented with their diplomas. As the graduated seniors left the high school that same evening, they realized that LHS had given them a start on the road to success, and now the rest was up to them. 7

SENIORS VIEW PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS We, the Senior Class of 1965, would like to express our appreciation for these past four years. During this time, we have learned many things both in scholastic and extracurricular activities. Now we must strive to use what we have gained. Upon leaving LHS and our classmates, we again would like to say thank you for these rewarding years.
