They have had the responsibility of the main event of the year, the prom. They worked together yet they had fun. To raise money, they sponsored a few dances after games. They are proud of the class rings they received and are looking forward to becoming seniors. We hope that you enjoy your last year as we have enjoyed ours. Work hard, but have fun.

FOOTBALL The football team this year won only two games. One of the worst setbacks was the fact that the team tied two games. There were three boys on the team that made the honorable mention; and they were Bob Jonsgaard, Larry LeNoir, and Claire 01stad. Every team has to lose sometime, but we hope to have a team in the future that will remain undefeated.

Wrestling is a spcrt like all sports in that a team must be built up year after yearJn order to become successful. Wrestling was introduced at Rushford by this year's instructor, Dick Berg. Although they have had no previous experience with wrestling, the team has made a very good beginning. They had ten men out during the season with their weights ranging from 103 to 175 pounds. They will lose only two seniors, leaving some very pramLeing teams for the future. CHEERLEADERS Mary Rollefson Cheryl Bunke. Dubbs Margo Hoegh Nancy Kopperud Margo raamza Center: Mrs. Molinari.

Meetings were held Tuesday nights, and some of the sports played were volleyball, softball, and basketball. They also went swimming. A series of playdays was held at the beginning of the year until a sport was chosen. Their goal for the year was to work toward physical fitness. OFFICERS. L. to R.: Adviser, Mrs. Molinari; V.

Rushford students made fine showings at the various contests, and we can all be proud of our director, Mrs. Hatleli.

It was a three-act farce telling of the happenings in a certain detective office. A murder which took place added to the excitement. The person murdered was a triplet. This made things rather confusing. The play was directed by Mrs. Lea Ohnstad.
