SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The fascination and excitement of graduation is over, and now we, the class of 1967, have only memories of high school to look back upon. They hold, however, many highlights and accomplishments for which we can be proud. In seventh grade we felt the rush and confusion of keeping pace with a system of clocks and bells. Now we were being educated by a separate teacher for each subject and came to know physical education as a real class, not just a break for enjoyment. The highlight of the year came when we were named first place winners in the homecoming float contest. September of 1963 gave us added responsibilities, for as freshmen we could participate in a variety of ac- tivities. This year we played an important part in homecoming by electing Jane Andrist as our first attendant. Our sophomore year brought a larger selection of class subjects. Choices had to be made between typing, biology, geometry, band, and chorus. This year Kay Threinen was our choice as homecoming attendant. Spring brought a sad note when we experienced the sorrow of losing fellow-classmate Greg Johnson. To us, this was a time not only to look back and ask why, but also to search our own minds for acceptance and under- standing. As juniors, we were presented with a host of activities. Our first concern was the magazine drive in which we broke the school record by selling over $3, 000 worth of magazines. This money was later used to finance our prom entitled, Oriental Fantasy and luckily was held on Friday the 13 of May. Another highlight was again winning first prize for our homecoming float. Lela Hippert was this year's atten- dant. Fall also brought the purchasing of class rings. With our selection, we became the first class to wear round rings. This was the year of the immortal Christopher Robin as our class presented its first dramatic production, Winnie the Pooh. Finally, we entered our senior year. Here, we took part in the first Blue and White Daze which served as a replacement for Homecoming. This meant a week full of activities with Jane Andrist reigning as queen. With the help of Prima Ballerina, Burt Fjerstad, the seniors also took first place honors in the skit contest. In November, we again felt the emptiness of losing a friend and classmate by the passing of Dan Currier. Through these dark days, we realized how short life really is and how unexplainable its tragedies always are. In May, the class took time away from education to present the magical play, Get Witch Quick. Activi- ties were then brought to a climax on May 29 when we became the thirteenth class to graduate from Kasson- Mantorville High School. To those behind us, we leave only a silhouette of what has been. Hoping that they will use our experiences to better the goals that they set for themselves. 19
