Mr. Robert F. Bibens The class of 1961 brought many laurels to Southwest High School. Scholastically, they attained the highest level: nine seniors were chosen finalists in the National Merit Scholarship program. Athletically, they could not have asked for a more spirited group of players than those Who bore the traditional school colors of orange and black onto the lnterscholastic League playing fields. Several senior lettermen were chosen to become members of the All-City or All- District teams. Artistically, they earned many accolades: the speech team captured 20 first place in the University of Kansas City Speech Festival, and several students were awarded high honors in the annual Regional Scholastic Art Exhibition. ln leadership, seniors were elected to the All-City Student Council and the All-City Red Cross Council. Probably the most significant accomplish- ment was the realization of a Well-organized activities program from which all students benefited. These honors have added to the reputation of Southwest as one of the most outstanding high schools in the nation.
