DEDICATION MRS. LUCILLE GAULT A native of Wisconsin and an outstanding teacher of French and English, Mrs. Lucille Draper Gault has an energetic and expansive personality unsurpassed on our campus. After receiving both B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Wis- consin, Mrs. Gault furthered her graduate studies at the University of Mexico, The University of Colorado, the University of North Carolina, and U.C.L.A. During the summer of ‘59 she studied French at the Sorbonne in Paris, France. Her authen- tic background in foreign languages and her animated accounts of her colorful ex- periences in extensive world travels enable Mrs. Gault's students to live a day in South America, Africa, or Europe. Her friendly concern and inexhaustible interest in students is emphasized daily in her school philosophy that a loss of educational opportunity now can never be regained in the future. With sincerity and gratitude, we dedicate the Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-Three edition of THE KANUHSHETA to you, Mrs. Gault. 13 The Staff

After eleven years of sponsoring both paper and annual, Miss Travis finally got a new typewriter for journalism class this year. At the end of the day, we sometimes managed to sneak off early! 12

SENIOR CLASS OF 1963 Graduates, in a sense graduation marks that point of departure from childhood into adulthood for you more than any other event that shall take place in the lives of most of you. You have been under the constant guidance of your parents and the in- spiration of your teachers. Both have urged, admonished, corrected, helped, en- couraged and in some cases retarded your progress. Many of you even while resent- ing this control have learned to depend upon it at times for decisions. Now you will be going away to college or to various cities for various gainful employment. Most of your important decisions will have to be made by you as a mature adult. I believe you are prepared to accept this personal responsibility. May you exercise mature judgment and have success in the new role as a mature free American citizen. The cultivated powers of the free mind have always been basic in achieving freedom. The powers of the free mind are many. In addition to the ra- tional powers, there are those which relate to the aesthetic, the moral, and the re- ligious. There is a unique, central role for the rational powers of an individual, however, for upon them depends his ability to achieve his personal goals and to ful- fill his obligations to society.
