On SriSute to Mr. Harry Sfiomas Mr. Thomas, one of the most respected members of our school and community will be leaving us this year. A brief glance at his past is now very appropriate. While in high school, he actively participated in such sports as track and football. After his high school days, his goal to become a teacher was not easily attained. However, due to his dedication and hard work, he became a certified instructor in a very unusual way. He taught the lower divisions at a university so that he could be educated in the upper division. He taught many schools, among them, Sanford in Colorado. As superintendent he worked hard to improve the school system in that area. He received his Master’s degree at Stanford University in California. Mr. Thomas has always been able to look people in the eye proudly and honestly. His opinions are always sought. Through his 46 years of teaching, he has become a very rapid reader, and even more important, he comprehends well what he reads. When he had an attack of polio 14 years ago, he was told that it would be medically impossible for him to walk again. But through sheer will power he defied the impossible. He is a self-made man and represents the kind of character we at Logan High strive for. We will always remember you, Mr. Thomas, and all you have done for Logan High. We sincerely thank you for your wonderful example and contribution to society. On Recognition of a $o6 Well Done COACH HOLMSTEAD In recognition of a job well done we would like to pay tribute to Mr. Earl Holmstead. He graduated from American Fork High School with letters in football, basketball and track. He went to Utah State University and played on the varsity team for 3 years. Coming to Logan High in 1950 he coached for 15 years, 11 of which he was head coach. Nine of these 11 years he took the team to state and 4 of those years he took region. Well known as Hap he carried on his father's name and kept up the tradition of a great player and great coach. He enjoyed his time as coach very much but retired because he felt that he should spend some of his valuable time with his family. Much thanks to him for helping to create an outstanding athletic past for Logan High. 16

Mr. Harold Peterson Senior Class Why are these three Seniors smiling? Could it be that they have just displayed senior authority to one of their sophomore friends? Possibly . . . but Dennis Everton, President, Roger Christensen, Vice President, and Linda Durrant, Secretary, are more probably smiling after leading their class through a year full of Hits, skits, candles and mortar boards. . . . and the people who handled a lot of tough situations from Senior Hits censorship to cap and gown measurements, Mrs. Hart and Mr Peterson, furnished that odd combination of beauty and brawn that inspired the Seniors to actively exemplify vivacious school spirit. Under this capable leadership of class officers and faculty advisors, it is no surprise that the Seniors have made the year 1964-66 one of the most memorable years in the lives of many.
