In our first Sophomore class meeting we elected the following officers: President, Carolyn Yeaman; Vice President, Byron Opperman; Secretary, Cheryl Acquistapace; Treasurer, Jim Ellingson, and Advisor, Mr. Wightman.

We started back to school this year as the “Mighty Seniors”. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President. Mel Nelson; Vice President.
