ecass Mjszony Soon the doors of P. R. H. S. will close for the last time and as we go out we will take with us the memories of our high school days. Now, as Seniors, the class of '68, we can look back over the past four years—and all that remains are memories. Yes, we have come a long way. But stop! Let's take a moment to glance back through the past four yeare so crowded with the memories of our school life — some of the best and most rewarding years of our lives. To get our class off on die right foot, we as freshmen elected able leaders: Pres. Alan Davis; Vice Pres. Rick Toso; Sec. Geri Leabo; Treas. Darla Kratzke, and Mike Erickson for Student Council; to help us when die going wasn't so good. Our Homecoming float complimented the theme and even if it didn't win a prize, we certainly had a lot of fun working on it. Our summer vacation quickly ended and we proceeded onward as sophomores. Widi our Sophomore year came new responsibilities, activities, and priviliges. As our leaders we chose: Pres. Greg Johnson; Vice Pres. Bonnie Nelson; Sec. Connie Rieman; Treas. Pete Larson; and to represent us in the Student Council we elected Pauline Jenson. One of our privileges was to have attendants in the Royal Court for die '66 Homecoming festivities. Linda Sorum, and Nancy Bredahl escorted by Jerry Ness and Pete Larson were chosen as our Sophomore attendants and escorts. Soon the school year came to a close and with eager anticipation we awaited our Junior Year. We entered P. R.H. S. in the fall of sixty-seven as eager and ambitious Juniors with a busy and exciting year ahead of us. Led by Pauline Jenson, Jim Weiss, Jerry Ness, Rainer Lokken, and Pete Larson, we put all our efforts into the magazine drive which broke all previous records Attending Queen Shirley at the Homecoming coronation were Linda Sorum excorted by Rick Toso and Nancy Bredahl escorted by Peter Larson. In the spring we presented our successful class play, Seventeendi Summer, directed by Mr. Me lb ye and Anne Johnson. Then our efforts were concentrated on our Prom and Banquet for which we chose the theme, Three Coins in the Fountain. This event brought to an end another rewarding year. In September 67 we left die world of the underclassmen and took on die new role of Seniors. Class officers for our final year were: Pres. Larry Jacobson; Vice Pres. Loren Siefert; Treas. Alan Davis; Sec Linda Sorum; and Jim Weiss as our Student Council Representative. The coming of fall found us busily preparing for Homecoming. Crowned Homecoming Queen for '67 was Linda Sorum, attended by Nancy Bredahl and Rachael Korda. Chosen as escorts were Peter Larson, Rick Toso, Loren Siefert and Larry Jacobson. We also put out talents to work to create our sensational class play under the direction of Miss Gunness and Bernice Pompe, Little Women. All these things plus our Senior skip day have make this, our Senior year a most memorable one. Behind us were our advisors Miss Mitchell, Mr. Fauteck, Mr. Melbye, and Mr. Emmel, always urging us on, coaching, guiding, and advising us. A special thank-you to you to whom we will always owe our gratitude and respect.

Boys from all over the state met for one week to form the imaginary fifty-first state- Boy's State of which Jerry was a citizen. Jerry said that this experience made the functions of the government more easily understood: that it was fun, rewarding, and an experience he will probably never forget. Jerry Ness 27
