. .q . A Q L ' i Qi t. fl, Bruce Minch We wish to introduce to you another Senior of Washburn High School. Although Bruce is a Senior, he is not as well acquainted with the student body as we would like for him to be. Bruce has been handicapped since birth and has been unable to attend high school. He was born April 18, 1932 in Washburn, Illinois, and has continued to reside here. Although he has been unable to attend school and take part in school activities-- with the help of teachers in his home--he has broadened in his education and has a scholastic standing of A throughout his grade and high school years. Mr. H. B. Ireland taught Bruce while he was in the grades. His high school teachers were: Mrs. F. S. Zeller, Miss Marie Shafer, Mr. Harry D. Campbell, Mr. George Brumrnet, Mrs. Bernadine Jones, and Mr. E. R. Jones. He is a very enthusiastic baseball fan, and the Cubs are a great favorite of his. He also spends much of his leisure time listening to the radio and reading: therefore he has a very broad view of world affairs. He likes to crochet and is very skillful at this work. He likes to listen to musical programs on the radio, and he attends shows quite frequently at the theaters. He is looking forward to warm, sunny days when he can get on his three-wheel bike and visit his neighbors and chat with them. He loves to go boat- ing with his parents, and he is also a lucky fisherman. He is taking a course in Driver Training, with Mr. Jones, our high school principal, as teacher. Next fall Bruce is planning to take a course in Jewelry at Peoria. If he likes the work, he will probably follow this profession throughout his life. May we say the best of luck to you, Bruce. Z2

During the year we lost Alfred Schierer but were joined by Joyce Safford. Knowing that we had a Prom to give the following year, we sold coke and candy. Our officers that year were Gerry White, President, Loyd Damerell, Vice-President, Shirley Zenzen, Secretaryg and Mary Gardner, Treasurer. Mr. Snow was our class sponsor. Our Junior year was one of our busiest.
