Whether you rank first, or last, in your class, set your goal in life high. Failure is the path of least persistance--let not one fail because of not trying.

Letters are given to girls who earn them. To earn a letter, one must accumulate 185 points. Girls are required to take one ten-mile hike and four S-mile hikes, for these they receive 60 points. They receive points for any tournament in which they participate. Of course, if poor sportsmanship is demonstrated, points will be taken away. Several girls attended and participated in the Badminton tourna- ment at Coulee Dam. In the spring, the girls participated in tumbling, volleyball, horseshoes, archery, and table tennis at the Minor Sports Tournament at Pateros. 79 Wap Clubs , Cheerleaders, Pat Dykes, Lou Orr, Maralee Carpenter Pep skit, Ruby Denton, Lilly Boan Pep skit, Judy Kriss, Jeannine Bryant Drill Team Pep Club: First row, Nancy Sautell, Sonya Lucky, Mary Louis, Louise Sautell, Joyce Somerville.
