Senior Officer : Don Anderson, Vice-President; Kathy Deaton, Treasurer; Steve Scholle, President. Not pictured: Virginia Rovaincn, Secretary; Shyla Dickson, Historian. OUR HIGH SCHOOL YEARS . . . It all began in 1958 when 262 flustered and frustrated Sophomores arrived at Tonka. After discovering that bowing to Seniors and saluting Juniors was not mandatory we went to work and elected the following class officers: President, Jim Seamans: Vice-President, Sue Johnson; Secretary, Kathy Deaton; Treasurer, Bill Miller; and Historian, Renee LeTen-dre. We joined clubs, provided the B-squad cheerleaders — Bunny Nelson, Karen Albrecht, Marlys Smieja, Grctchen Shafer, Sue Johnson, and Margaret Bristol — attended canteens and welcomed the next year’s Sophomores with the traditional party and dance. To show our increasing self-confidence as Juniors we elected Jim Seamans to a second term as President and then Grctchen Shafer, Renee LcTendre, Margaret Bristol and Dave Soucy as Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Historian, respectively. After setting a $7,500 goal for the magazine sale we almost ran aground, but were able to provide, in the words of Senior Bill Naegle, “the most terrific banquet,’’ and an equally superior Prom. The class play, “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay,’’ with Molli Reay and Holly McIntosh as the leads, was well received. Under the auspices of the A.F.S. we sent Jane Wieman to Japan. Jeffery Strickler to Austria and Kathy Triden to Bavaria. Then we were Seniors! It was with an unprecedented amount of thought that we elected our officers — President, Steve Scholle: Vice-President, Don Anderson; Secretary, Virginia Rovainen; Treasurer, Kathy Deaton; and Historian, Shyla Dickson. After this had been done we organized committees of every nature for Homecoming. The honor of queen went to Marlys Smieja and we danced in the “Autumn Reign.” Our last two months was a mad whirl of term papers, the Banquet and Prom given by the Juniors, and finals, all culminating with Commencement. 18
