How could we forget about going down to the state tournament and capturing fourth place? This was the first time in 14 years that Rocky High was represented at the Sweet Sixteen basketball tournament at Champaign-Urbana. The fine job done on the team by Merrell Clark, William Geisler, Donald Peterson, and Charles Thomas will always be remembered by our class. The Dramatic club play, Good Housekeep¬ ing, featured Daniel Munn in the leading male role. Nancy Johnson, Merrell Clark, Diane Dockum, and Carolyn Wessel were the other juniors in the play.

Whew! That was quite a year, wasn ' t it? But that ' s only the beginning; we have two more to talk about. Our junior year was when we really started to roll! Charles Thomas advanced to the office of president of our class; Nancy Raymond be¬ came our vice-president; and James Fuller was our secretary. In football this year, Richard Allison, Wil¬ liam Geisler, and James Winger added their strength to the varsity team, helping it tie for Northwest Conference title. Sally Hawks and Darlene Heaton were the two juniors who served on the varsity cheer¬ leading squad. JAN ERICSON GENE ESTESS ROBERT FANE THOMAS FARMER SHARON FERGUSON WAYNE FICK 23
