Senior president J. Eriksson presented the key of seniority to J. Lindner, who wished the seniors luck in the future. Later at the high school, the white carpet was rolled out and the court paraded up the aisle toward the throne. Our theme song, Sayonara, was playing as R. Miller crowned C. Phelper queen. Her attendants were B. Carter, J. Lindner, J. Schmitz, and M. Weber, escorted by D. Adache, D. Cave, J. Potter, and T. Werner. Kim Colbe and Pat Grady were very cute as crown bearers. Our vari-colored lanterns, pond, bridge, and torii transformed the gym into truly an Oriental Paradise. I'm a senior! It seemed impossible that we were saying these words already. This year we chose R. Miller as our big chief. Our Indians won the Homecoming game, and afterwards B. Carter reigned at the dance. J. Fish, our football captain, was her escort, and senior members of the court were J. Lindner, M. Weber, and D. Dwyer. Lollipops and candy canes danced on the walls at our Christmas dance, Candy Cane Capers. Our original decorations brought everyone into the Christmas spirit. Ghosts and monsters invaded the auditorium when we presented the senior play, GHOST WANTED. We felt that M. Zimmerlein should have won an Oscar for his outstanding performance as Hugo. Our high school days were climaxed with the memorable events of class night, baccalaureate, and graduation. As we go our various ways, some to college, others to work, we'll all remember the enjoyable times we had together. We'd always been told that the junior year was the best, and now we found it to be true. We chose J. Lindner to lead us through our most active year. There was a noon-hour rush at the jewelry store when we found that our class rings had arrived. In our eyes, Homecoming was a big success. We won first prize on our float, We're Ordering a Victory, and were represented on the court by B. Carter, C. Phelper, M. Weber, J. Fish, and D. Dwyer. Although we tramped through every yard and cornfield in town, we couldn't find the seniors in the Jr - Sr. Hunt. Therefore, we were obliged to treat them to cocoa and doughnuts. We sponsored a donkey basketball game in which our junior boys beat their dads. The players as well as the crowd had a wonderful time and the following week the drug store had a rush on liniment. We're afraid many people thought it quite natural when we portrayed the inmates of an insane asylum in THE CURIOUS SAVAGE. We discovered who the real workers of our class were on the nights preceding the Junior Carnival. What satisfaction we received when the gym was completed and the people began to arrive! Shaving cream flew, balloons popped, children laughed; then everything grew quiet as we left for the Haskin school where our dance was held. The music of the Squares ended a perfect evening. The prom, the biggest event of the year, finally drew near. We'll all remember the day before the prom when our pond sprang a leak, covering part of the gym floor with water. The evening began with our banquet in the Haskin gym. Chinese coolies shuffled in to serve us.
