Bill Nygren and Ron Sanders represented the Senior Class as Student Council members. Homecoming was held October 12, with members of the Senior Class as candidates for king and queen. Gay Gustafson and Terry Radenslaben were chosen as king and queen and Ruth Svoboda and Merlin Fick were attendants. Our Senior play, State of Mind came in November. The year was filled with important events like choosing our announcements and our graduation gowns. Deanne Carlson and Melvin Vance did not rejoin the class this year. Mary Ann Kavan and Don Heuerman joined the class as Seniors. On May 1, the Seniors traveled to Colorado for their senior trip. May had come all too soon, and then, looking through the window, we could see that it was not the end, but only the beginning, for graduation was near. Bill Nygren, the class valedictorian, and classmate Merlin Fick march serenely up the aisle to termi- nate their high school career. 16
