When we begin as kindergartners, we don 'tknow vvhatour class means. . ,But by our high school years, class means friendship, fashion, allegiance, and, yes, even romance. Our class is, in no small way, our world. Above: Lunch is David Miller's favorite class. Right: Mr. Moseley explains how to do the yearbook pages, IJ. Burchinal, A, Huffman, A.

She looks mad. Below: Tonya Roddy, you should work harder like Kathy Brown does. Sometimes, the mostimporrant work is that going on behind the scenes. Two people who help keep things going are Mrs. Pat Rees, left, and Mrs. Sue Scudder, right, in the pictures below. Now that Mr. Ballard is a doctor he thinks he can just walk out and leave at any time. 5 L.. ? i w A ' .

Getting better as the years have passed since HOMECOMING '63, the pep rallies with presentations of trophies, as well as the new nominees, greet graduates who return to enjoy the spirit of Prairiland once again. lt 's interesting that our glories are foo tball and basketball and baseball, yet we describe them in terms of bloody noses, sweaty gym wear, 'strawberries '. lt is that those who represent us allow themselves to be measured in our place and thus we pay them our respect.

Dakota Wright was one of the best to remember - he was grounded for failing a test. We cruised the Sonic to get a coke and waited, what seemed, forever to get back on Lamar. There was a lot of time spent in Paris on the weekends. At the Hop. .

But in seventeen years, the Pa trio ts ha ve de veloped a rich tradition in bo th boys ' and girls ' athletics, including personal all-district, all-Red River Valley, and all-state honors, and district, regional, and state championships.

And men write - filling books with their various and sundry deeds, To inspire, to teach, and to touch the lives of all who will read. But once, perhaps twice in our lifetime, if we are truly and specially blessed, One comes our way, not from the writings of men, but a common one, just doing his best. He comes not as a warrior, a statesman, or a King, Not as one who sets new records, or invents machines. Not even as one who has fought injustices and righted world wrongs, Nor one who has written great books or sung popular hit songs. Just one, who in simplicity, comes to the little space and place that we know, Bringing wonderful laughter, witty answers, special kindness, genuine happiness, anda personal love that makes our lives glow. Glow with an energy that makes us different, a difference we can 't define. But we all experience change - a wonderful, beautiful change in our souls and minds. A change that comes because we have known one so real, so alive, so true, And he left his mark, hard - permanent -, not on the world, but more importantly, on me and on you. Oh, his many deeds probably will never reach men 's books of success and fame, But we, we with the grateful hearts, will remember, and never be the same. - Dr. L.C. Stout lFrom Rev.
