FOREWORD ’T'm the Spirit that which is in- tangible. It is the inspiration of the whole school. It is what motivated the sports events, the organization, and the Raider activities which are drawing us closer to a understanding of education. This never ending spirit develops the students of today into the adults of tomorrow, to work, to grow, and to live will be mystically revealed in the fol- lowing pages.

I am the Spirit of Learning , the green freshmen; silly sophs; jolly juniors; and dignified seniors; these ad- jectives apply to none of us all the time and to all of us some of the time. The challenges, ac- tivities, and studies all have shed a continuous development, and strength for us. As an individual or as a class it is All for one and one for all --the true spirit of Mead High. A senior at last! You kept repeating the phrase as if it held a certain air of magic. It hardly seems possible that four years could go so fast and yet hold so many memories of M.H.S. Little things took on special significance, each event became a memorable occasion. New friends, became old ones, and older ones became dearer. And we attended each event with the very phrase, This is the last . . . . The last pep rally, the last class play, and the Junior- Senior picnic. You took part in all the senior activities but suddenly May came before you realized it, and the year came to an end. You are now ready for the all important step out of the halls of M.H.S. Here's to the seniors, an important part of Alma Mater, Mead High . The seniors discovered a new and confusing way to make mon- ey— they set up a boardinghouse in their senior class play. THE BOARDINGHOUSE REACH . This was Wilbur Maxwell's way to earn money for a bicycle that he had tried so desperately to get. Things went 'round and 'round. Finally it's discovered that somebody in the house is a bank robber, before the mess was finally straightened out Wilbur had his bicycle and the audience was dead with laughter over the antics and the zany characters.

They are: lanet Nelson, Paul Svoboda, Bob Swanson, Bob Seburger, lerry Weber, George Nygren, Henry Lee, loAnn Redia, lim Sayers, and Deanna Buesing. In the second semester lackie Barta joined our crew. George Wilson also joined us on our second trip making us a crew of 12 members. We were still under the command of Miss Rood. Our next journey was under a new commander, Mrs. Dalphia Carlson. We were now a crew of IQ. members as George Wilson and JoAnn Reida were transferred to another submarine and Kaye Johnson was promoted to our third grade class. On our fourth trip our new commander was Mrs. Ralph Hageman, who took over the controls. Our crew now con- sisted of 10 members. George Nygren and Henry Lee left us and Diane Hall joined our crew. During the next year the submarine was lost. On our sixth voyage Mrs. Crystal Anderson was our new commander. The crew numbered U. with Kathie Pool, Gary Wilson, and Micky Duncan joining us. We lost Diane Hall and Jerry Weber. Our seventh trip was under the command of Mrs. Ben Widman. Mary Updike, Diane Stange, and Steve Hollst joined us on the trip, making us a crew of 11 members. Our next voyage, our crew, under Mrs. Lucille Hoeven, numbered 17. Beverley Hansen, Pat Long, Martha Maly, Linda Lipsys, and Diane Becker, joined us in this drive. Jerry Weber also rejoined us. On our ninth trip, we entered high school. Our crew enlarged to 21 members, with Jim Langemeier, Darrel Charles, Richard Goodding, Boyd Hageman, and Deanna Hanson joining us. George Nygren also rejoined the class. On the tenth voyage, Ken Peterson, and Sandy Wine joined us, and Bob Seburger and Gary Wilson left us making our crew still number 21. The eleventh trip and juniors at last, started out with a crew numbering 20. George Wilson rejoined our class, and Sandy Wine and Jerry Weber left our submarine on this journey, George Wilson left in the latter part of the trip. The high- lights of this year were our Junior Class Play. Ever Since Eve” and the junior-senior picnic. Build For Character 12 • V KENNETH PETERSON ROBERT SWANSON At last, on August 28, we left on our twelfth and final dive. Our crew numbered only 17, at the close of the year. Bob Swanson and Linda Lipsys left us during the second se- mester. After 12 long voyages only 2 of the original crew remained. Janet Nelson and Paul Svoboda. Highlights of our last voyage were our Senior Class Play, The Boarding- house Reach”, the junior-senior prom, the first homecoming and sneak trip to Colorado. On the twenty-second day of May there were 17 seniors to receive their diplomas: Jackie Barta, Darrel Charles, Richard Goodding, Boyd Hageman, Beverley Hansen, Deanna Hanson, Steve Hollst, Kaye Johnson, Jim Langemeier, Pat Long, Martha Maly, Janet Nelson, George Nygren, Ken Peterson, Kathie Pool, Diane Stange, and Paul Svoboda.

The mystery comedy play was set up in the west and centered around a group of dudes who were trapped in an opera house in a ghost town by an old Prospector. Suspense built up when it was found that the opera house was to be blown up in a few hours for a high- way. The play used very unusual methods of staging, when the whole gym became the stage. .

JUNIORS . . . The Junior Class of 1962-1963 mysteriously opened a Stairway to the Stars at the first Junior- Senior Prom at Mead. A banquet was served and a dance followed with the thrilling music of the Wahoo High Combo. The Juniors are climbing this stairway to attain a higher position, being seniors, through their class activities and studies.

The basic incentive for learning is awakened when a child be- comes curious and asks his first question. Throughout childhood and youth this questioning con- tinues as does the corresponding increase in learning. To progress in his quest for knowledge, the student must often seek things out in a concentrated matter; he must drive deeper into fields which catch his interest, and conquer that which challenges him. Through questions, through the seeking of satisfactory an- swers to them, and through the ultimate finding of these answers --we gain progressive knowledge.
