Only a relatively small percentage of students achieve outstanding performances which merit recognition. Excellence in character and in scholarship is a tribute in it- self; however, recognition for these attributes is given to thirteen seniors. On the basis of scholastic achievement, extra-curricular activities, service to school and community, and personal affahility. these seniors are chosen by a committee of admin- istrative personnel, faculty members, and student representatives for the role of Sigurds. Selection as a Sigurd is a rare honor and only comes to those individuals who have proved themselves worthy. From the Sigurds is chosen the most outstand- ing senior to recieve the most distinguished award, the Viking Award, symbol of highest standards and achievements.

Enthusiastic energy combined with a sparkling personality enable MARIAN REED to success- fully fill her post as National Honor Society President while actively participating in Sor- rota Service Club and maintaining a higlf scholastic average. Quietly participating in activities, GAIL RES- NICK has contributed her time and energy. A few of her endeavors include Editor of the Thor, an officer in Sorrota Service Club, a member of National Honor Society, and a member of the Alpha Honor Roll. Enormous vibrancy, excellence in academics, and exhilerating sparkle are infallible qualities of success. KATHERINE SEARS, cheerlead- er and officer of Sub Debs, enjoys a towering degree of precedence of achieving this purpose. Reading the daily devotional over the public address system has made the voice of SUE SHANNON as familiar as her many services, as a Student Council Secretary, an active mem- ber of the Senior Board, and an assistant in the Student Activities OEice. Unbounding energy, great enthusiasm, and inspirational leadership qualities are attributes enjoyed by few. These coupled with outstand- ing athletic ability presents a profile of DON- ALD TARTER, President of the Senior Class. Undying spirit, tremendous desire, and high intellectual capacities are keynotes to the suc- cess of DONALD WANTUCK. A highly cap- able two-way performer on the football field, Don, has also made his presence known as a fine student and a good citizen.
