The ’68 Crusader Published By St. Ferdinand High School Ferdinand, Indiana Volume XV I Have A Dream . . “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal’. “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” March on Washington, 1963 to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for his dream, a vision in which all men could walk hand in hand, soul in soul for his years of civil rights work and his policy of nonviolent protest for his life, sacrificed to further that dream of a united brotherhood for his words which will live forever in the minds and hearts of men everywhere In his study nook which doubles as a library, Father Bernard Verkamp, superintendent of St. Ferdinand High, sits contem- plating during one of the more relaxing moments of his day. Kids Cause Administration Consternation Where do you go to find out about college entrance tests, to get information on job opportunities, or to change your class schedule? Where do you go when you’re having trouble in a class, or when you get knocked out cold in gym? Where do you go when you want to stage a basketball skit, when you need a speaker for an assembly, or when you need a tar- dy slip? Where do you go when your locker just won’t open, no matter what, or when you dropped your lunch money and you don’t know where? Where do you go when you want a candy bar and the machine’s empty, or where do you go when you’ve lost your books? You go to the office, that’s where. It’s the clearing house for all your problems. There, in the inner sanctum, Sister Mary Carmen is always ready to listen and help, if possible. And if your difficulties need long term action, you will be referred to the counseling room where someone’s always ready and willing to help. No, SFHS isn’t just a happy accident. It’s the direct re- sult of years of planning and hard work, and it’s expanding more and more each year. It’s a combination of circum- stances. It’s our school! Father Firmus Dick sneaks some rare time out from parish and high school finances to page through one of his books. 6 Sister Mary Carmen, principal, searches through her neatly kept file often during the school day. Happiness Is Learning To Know The idea of what is true merit should al- so be often presented to youth, explained and impressed on their minds, as consisting in an inclination joined with an ability to serve mankind, one’s country, friends and family; which ability is (with the blessing of God) to be acquired or greatly increased by true learning, and should indeed be the great aim and end of all learning. Benjamin Franklin Academics 10 Renewal Movement Demands More Involvement, Concern Christianity in renewal is the topic of the day. In an all out effort for more communication, renewal groups have been organized outside school for both young and old. Yet the renewal influence bears directly upon the method and material in classroom religion study. In reality seniors take a marriage course which gradually broadens in- to a sociology class while underclassmen study various aspects of the Bi- ble. But because the modern Christian must be aware and involved in the world around him, it is not unusual to hear religion discussions cen- tered on civil rights, politics, open housing, Vietnam ...

Lit, G rammar: Brain Strain For Students The freshmen seem to be the privi- leged few at SFHA—in English anyway. Just imagine seeing two full length movies, MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY and THE LIGHT IN THE FOREST, especially when no one else saw even one movie! It must be nice. Maybe it’s some compensation for their grammar course. Prose, poetry, and drama keep all the lit classes on their toes. They’re ei- ther reading a book, composing poetry, writing themes, or viewing filmed les- sons in the humanities. LEFT: John Heilers and Dave Fleck dil- igently prepare world lit themes. Sister Mary Beth Literature Sister Mary Gervase English Gathered round the record player, freshmen Carolyn Wey- Kemper joyfully sing out to Edgar Allan Poe’s “Bells, bells, er, Gloria Werne, Debbie Klem, Lois Dilger, and Geralyn bells-To the rhyming and chiming of the bells!” ABOVE: Rachel Verkamp, Marlene Daunhauer, Elaine Hel- ming, Judy Werne, Linda Lueken, Marilyn Snyder, and Mary Lou Meyer construct pinatas in Spanish class. TOP: French students Mary Lou Weyer, Mike Daunhauer, and Kathy Buechler learn the French names for dinnerware. RIGHT: In German, Margie Fritz and Dan Hoppenjansact out Red Riding Hood. Linguists Go Native In Customs Cuisine Latin may be dead elsewhere, but not at SFHS. Sure, there may be a number still struggling with irregular conju- gations, but they haven’t given up completely. And, of course, there’s German which regularly puts on those amaz- ing amateur state productions—in Deutsch. In a popularity poll any class would have a hard time beating French or Spanish class. What can compare to being bombarded by candies from homemade pinatas, or finding a paper fish on your back on April Fool’s Day, or those sumptuous suppers with native menus! Sister Mary Damian German Sister Mary Philip French Wayfaring World Watchers Gallop Round Globe Mr. James Hagedorn Government Mr. Max Meuser History Whether it be Vietnam, civil rights, the gold crisis, or whatever, government students readily engage in heated de- bate, and sometimes even downright name calling. From the first Jamestown settle- ment to Lyndon Johnson, U. S. history students probe into the American way of life, stumbling upon some very true but funny facts every now and then. World history students are daily con- fronted with piles of people, places, dates, and events. Oh, but it’s confus- ing keeping track of them all! BELOW: Leon Boeglin and Pat Haake lead a lively discussion on “Is God dead?” in government. TOP RIGHT: World history students Kenny Buech- ler, Connie Burger, and Dave Bromm say, “Eureka! Luxemburg—at last.” RIGHT: Norma Meyer, Vernita Schipp, and Norbert Brames look over U. S. history records. POSSESS WERSJ9J4 Would You Believe Made In Japan - No, How About G 1 ? Where would one run into a sly Siamese cat, a fero- cious lion, and an absolutely ridiculous ashtray of a man smoking a corncob pipe? Where would one see wild mo- saics of glass and stone and paint? And where would one see elaborate wrapping paper, do-it-yourself with finger paints and wallpaper? Where, but in G1, the art complex of SFHS. Walk in. Sit down. Look around. There’s always plen- ty to see. Clay figurines are bcipg fired in the kiln. A beautiful spring scene is coming to life in watercolor. And students are scurrying here and there. In preparation for the final firing, Clara Hagedorn glazes her jewelry box. Ruth Dilger paints her sketch of the town saw mill while Sue Daunhauer sketches Ruth in action. Louise Dilger and Alice Schipp enjoy making linoleum block prints. Art instructor, Sister Mary Alice, examines ceramic pieces for firing in the kiln. Wayne Weyer concentrates as he puts the final touches to a ceramic tree form. 19 Puzzled Students Ponder Mathematical Maze Trig and analytics may be tough work, but the seniors have at least one pleasant thought to keep them going- new math passed them by once again. However, the other math classes weren’t so lucky. They didn’t escape and are constantly bemoaning the fact. Now they’re up to their ears in sets, sub- sets, unions, relations, and intersections. Help, somebody, please! BELOW: “Hyperbolas are a real prob- lem. Can you help us, Ron?” plead Ma- ry Beth Oeding and Theresa Hulsman to Ron Mundy. TOP LEFT: Pat Laake, bisects an angle in a rather complex geometric figure. BELOW LEFT: Freshman algebra means plotting points and filling in graphs to Gary Ebert. Mr. Larry KWin -Ate- Earl Schiller Math Math Well, what will it be this time? Will it smell like rotten eggs, lye soap, or wood pussy? Larry Rasche, Dolores Schnie- ders, and Bill Schipp are concocting it—so who knows what it will be! Beware: Mad Scientists Experimenting Nearby Pow! Take cover-the physical sci- ence class is at it again, decorating the ceiling of Room 8 with some of their more explosive experiments, notably do-it-yourself paint. Yikes! The frogs are loose in Room 7. Sorry, false alarm-they’re tied to the gas jets on the tables for observa- tion. But what’s that—a banana tree? Yes, a magnificent banana tree reposes in the corner, ever threatening to over- take Jack’s rather notorious beanstalk. Eew! Did it hit you, too? No, it’s not skunk; more likely it’s our chem- ists making hydrogen-sulfide again. It isn’t going to be long before they kill us all scent-wise! No doubt our physicists will soon think of some inventive experiments to send the survivors from the above men- tioned terrors running far away! 22 Mr. James Hagedorn Physical Science Sister Mary Eric Biology Mr. Richard Abell Physics Sister M. Francesca Chemistry Busy Business Students Battle To Build Skill Clogged keys, flying caps, and errors galore make life a never-ending battle for Typing I students. Having weathered one year of typing, some courageous few try another and end up fighting figures on add- ing machines and calculators—not to men- tion occasional encounters with the ditto machine. Bookkeeping students attack with fin- esse their financial difficulties. With care- ful accounting they keep track of their straying nickels and dimes and keep out of the red. Meanwhile business law students are learning to wiggle out of law suits, and shorthand students are running a wild chase to keep up with the dictator.

Sewing machines are clattering away. Patterns, pins, and material are strewn over all the tables. The oven is on and something smells scrumptious. A dress just made is being pressed. And hidden away in the corner are two girls strug- gling to straighten out their budgets for the month. What is this happening? In the home- ec room of St. Ferdinand High. Yes,G6 is a hive of activity. There are girls everywhere learning the “hows” of the modern woman. So look out! Here come our future homemakers! Sister Josepha explains to her girls how to cut bias tape. Media Of Men9 Machines Make Mechanic Crafts Rewarding Experience Sawdust flies as the woodworking students cut their boards, later to be made into shelves, night stands, and coffee tables. Finally the varnish is added, and then voila-the finished product. Bent over the drawing board, laboring on scale constructions, the mechanical drawing students are confronted with all sorts of confus- ing lines, figures, and sketches. It’s a long way to success, so back to the old drawing board! The power mechanics students are in business-engine repair, that is. Lawn mowers, printing presses, automobile engines, anything they can get their hands on interests these boys. You send it; they fix it. This is our industrial arts program.

Gymnasts Count New Muscles By Aches9 Pains The daily yells, screams, and thuds echoing through the halls of SFHS are unmistakable. Our exercise enthusiasts undoubtedly enjoy their brief respite from mental labor. Sudden falls from tumbling tricks, fractured fists from volleyball, and bro- ken glasses from bouncing basketballs all guarantee an action-packed hour of gym.

Happiness Is Giving Yourself This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a fe- verish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

BELOW RIGHT: The student body votes for Council officers while senior Pat Haake presides over the election. The year began with a bang as the Council sponsored a really swinging LOVE-IN to promote inter-student friendship. Then at sectional time, the spirited Student Council initiated an outdoor sectional display contest to in- crease class competition. Later, the Student Council revised their long out-dated constitution and geared it to the times. Besides adver- tising SFHS, Ferdinand T-shirts sold by the Council gave a boost to school spir- it. Lastly the Council ended its work with a wild hayride to the forest for the student body. 36 National Honor Society Inducts New Members Operating for its first full school year, the Ferdinand Chapter of the National Honor Society proved itself an active part of SFHS. NHS was the dominant influence behind the tiger raffle whose proceeds paid the import duties on a dentist chair for the Guatemala mission. Thirteen new members were induct- ed into the National Honor Society during the second annual induction ceremony. Doris Verkamp served as mistress of ceremonies, introducing Marvin Pund, Mary Lou Meyer, Pat Er- hart, and Marilyn Snyder to speak on scholarship, character, leadership, and service respectively.

Library Labors Employ Students Since its first fall meeting the 1967-68 Library Club of SFHS has been continually on the move at home and in HSLA and the Dixie Bibliophiles, providing entertainment and activities as well as valuable library ex- perience for its members. This year’s club can also boast a V.I.P. visit from Janet Barth, the first president of the Ferdinand Library Club. In addition it sponsored a wild book auction and created some Catholic Book Week decorations for the library. Library Club officers: Mary Lou Meyer, his- Olinger, vice-president; and Debbie Lueken, torian; Ginny Potter, reporter; Pat Haake, president, treasurer; Judy Steltenpohl, secretary; Nancy 39 It’s tedious but necessary, so Marilyn Snyder, John Englert, and Mar- vin Pund pour over copy, checking spelling and punctuation. Lancers Publish Or Perish Witty Words, People Pix As Deadly D-Day Dawns “Two days till copy deadline,” bemoans Sister Mary Boniface, sending panic waves throughout the journalism class. “And we have exactly two inches of copy, so far,” cries Doris. Those two dread statements generate such a force that even Ein- stein would be amazed. Energy radiates between G3 and the typing room, establishing LANCE express paths for newly approved copy. D- day presents two pictures, one of a bulging copy folder, surprising enough, and one of the Lancers worn thin and unwinding fast, not so surprising. A few days of well-deserved rest and rehabilitation reactivates the Lancers for their next assignment, layout and headlines. Then it’s to the printer’s for this issue and to the brain power upstairs for the next! Temporarily stumped, Cathy Dilger ponders her ad layout. Sister Mary Boniface, a newcomer to the jour- nalistic field, discovered in no time flat that putting out a paper is “hard work!” It’s paste-up time for the sports page, so here’s a typical glimpse of Greg Gehlhausen at the paper cutter and Danny Bcttag with the glue. 41 Ye CRUSADER Staff Assembles Artful Edition We’re one big collaborating conglomeration. Salesmen, economists, typists, artists, writers, photographers, journal- ists, all rolled into one-that’s us, the Crusader staff. August came and we hit the road selling ads to put our book on solid ground financially. September caught us shooting pictures left and right. So it went, battling dead- line after deadline. That’s our story. Page by page we built this book. Now it’s yours—enjoy it. TOP: What’s all the furore about? The CRUSADER staff, in frenzied delight, browse over a multitude of newly devel- oped pictures. BELOW: “Something stark, really eye-catch- ing—like this maybe—with emblem, headline across the gut- ter and some short but sharp copy. What do you think, Sue?” gestures editor-in-chief Pat Erliart to assistant editor Sue Klein. TOP RIGHT: Photographers Joe Haakc and Dan Bettag crop pictures with practiced efficiency.

Gritty Girls Tackle Tennis With Tenacity GAA officers: Mary Lou Meyer, president; Phyllis Buechler, vice-president; Margie Weyer, secretary; and Nancy Olinger, treasurer. BELOW: Marilyn Sny- der really swats that ball to Mary Lou Meyer and Mary Ann Schilling. GAA girls are, perhaps, remarkable for being bundles of raw energy and will power. During the year they played basketball in the SFHS gym and bowled in Huntingburg, always fighting tooth and nail to win the game. Soon they branched into tennis and battled it out on the courts in the ball park. However, the real measure of a GAA girl remains the result of skill tests. These together with other activi- ties merited Mary Lou Meyer and Mar- gie Verkamp each a well-deserved GAA plaque. All you Crusaders FIGHT! And so mouths open wide, Lueken, Debbie Werne, Donna Gehlhausen, Judy Stelten- yelling with all their might, varsity cheerleaders, Charlotte pohl, and Nancy Olinger, urge the Crusaders on. Ferdinand Fight Flames Furious, Fearsome As Cheerleaders Fire Fans Forward Wow! What was it—a sonic boom, an atomic blast? No, simply some magnifi- cent vocal chords coupled with extraordi- nary lung power. Whose do you say? The Ferdinand cheerleaders—who else? It all started in the summer with a one week cheerleader workshop at Vincennes. Whew, was that ever tough! Basketball season opened, and the girls went on for real. They led the Pep Club, yelling and shouting and cheering all the way. Recurring hoarseness, sprained ankles, stretched ligaments, and floor burn plagued these girls all season. But they en- dured—for SFHS! “Yeah! Rah! Ferdinand!” enthusiastically cry B-team cheerleaders, Eileen Luebbe- husen, Carol Oeding, Yvonne Spayd, and Judy Werne. PEPitis Prevails9 Packs Powerful Punch Run for the hills! Basketball season has opened once again, and the whole student body is coming down with contagious pepitis! One known carrier of this spirited disease was the Pep Club who with their posters, pep sessions, skits, rallies, and cheers soon infected the rest of SFHS. Soon the drill team was numbered among the victims of pepitis. Under the direction of its founder, Ginny Potter, the newly organized drill team marched, executing intricate maneuvers and providing a cheer- ful interlude between games. And so pepitis mania raged throughout SFHS, ever spurring the Cru- saders onward! TOP: Two points! RIGHT: Shakers flashing brilliant colors of blue and gold. Lori Schnieders, Kathy Berg, and Diane Fbert march forward while the beat goes on.

Happiness Is Sharing Fun When you’re together sharing, pleasing, caring, in sad and happy weather, When you first see your smile on someone else’s face, you’ve just discovered gold. For a friend is the most precious discovery of all! Gail Mahan Pageantry Of Song, Dance, Highlights Xmas Musical, Warms Hearts Of Many It’s a musical extravaganza. It’s an elaborate floor show. What is it? It’s the SFHS Christmas musical—what else? Snowflakes glide ever so softly and silently across the stage, and poinseltas join in an imaginative flower dance. Surprise! Pop goes the jack- in-the-box! Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is there prancing and dancing among the lively host that pulls Santa’s sleigh. Toy sol- diers come to life in a sudden burst of energy and march to the rhythmic beat of the drums. And so the legend of Christmas lives once again in the hearts of many. Donna Gehlhausen and Judy Steltenpohl skillfully whirl through the Dance of the Poinsettas. Gracefully poised, Yvonne Spayd pirouettes in the Dance of the Snowflakes. 50 ABOVE: Toy soldiers Diane Ebert, Phyllis Buechler, Gin- ny Potter, Debbie Lueken, and Becky Fischer march in formation to the sound of the drums. BELOW: “CHRIST- MAS IS music” is proclaimed by the FHS Band as it opens the program with “Bell Pageantry” and concludes with a medley of traditional Christmas songs. 5! Theresa Captivates Fans With Regal Wiles; Radiates Happiness In Queenly Smiles It began with a gigantic, ear-shattering burst. The sound of feet marching, of drums beating, and the blare of a whistle heralded the entrance of the band and the drill team. The band, with their bright blue uniforms, shiny buttons, and their golden music, and the drill team with their smiling faces and their pompons rustling, spread over the gym floor. Then silence. Slowly through the ranks of the band and drill team came first the cheer- leaders, and the seven girls of the court on the arms of varsity men. Lastly, Theresa Hulsman, 1968 Basketball Queen of SFHS, was escorted to her seat where she was jointly crowned by Greg Gehlhausen and Lee Joe Begle, senior members of the team. Eight girls reigned supreme for one night, midst a Grecian temple setting created by the senior girls. Then it was over, and lights blazed again.

Up-dated Cinderella Spoof Recreates Fairytale Fun The curtains fell on the second performance, ending THE SLIP OF A SLIPPER with the “happily ever after” fairytale finish. So closed SFHS’s first operetta, revealing a talented troop of students. How to cope with the unexpected always remains the true test of any performer. Jane Reckclhoff readily proved her adaptability when, with hoops loose and petticoat problems, she refused Prince Charming’s danc- ing requests and remained seated-the show went on!

Tiki God Hosts Prom Under Tahitian Sunset It began as juniors and seniors in formal attire passed through bamboo curtains intertwined with flowers. Sud- denly there it was—prom, set in the Ferdinand American Legion under the colorful, flashing lights of a Tahitian sunset. The Keyes from Louisville provided modern rock music, and Greg Gehlhau- sen and Susan Uebelhor reigned as King and Queen. But the great attraction was undoubtedly the giant tiki god made of silver foil with blazing red eyes and en- shrined in a tropical garden setting.

Seniors Lee Joe Begle and Greg Geh- lhausen took top honors at the Sports Banquet. Lee Joe received both the Sportsmanship Award and the Most Valuable Player Award. Greg won the Free Throw Award. The Service Award was presented to Leon Boeglin, the Betty Crocker Home- making Award to Jane Reckelhoff, and the DAR Citizenship Award to Maril- yn Snyder.

Alan Seeger Track Records Fall Under Crusaders’ Advance Contorted in a tremendous burst of energy, senior Sam Schaeffer heaves the shotput for which he won a blue ribbon. Though handicapped by a lack of experience, the 1968 SFHS track team managed to break many records during the short season. The high jump record of 5’8” belonging to Don Barth fell as Lee Joe Begle cleared the bar at 5’9”. Bob Burger broke the broad jump record with a new distance of 19’ 7”. And for the third time this year the mile relay team of Dennis Verkamp, Pat Haake, Bill Hancock, and Paul Niehaus, set a new school record with a time of 3:46.1. Other records set in 1968 were Bob Burger in the 100 yd. dash (10.1), Bill Hancock in the 440 yd. dash (54.0), and Dennis Verkamp in the 880 yd. dash (2:05.7) and in the mile (4:42.5).

There were ups and downs all the way. The old Ferdinand-Dale rivalry blazed anew in ’68 but this time the Crusaders walked away victorious, the first time in 8 years. Tourney time rolled around and the Crusaders tried hard to retain last year’s title but lost to Holland and fell in the Dutchmen’s advance. Stan Ruhe blocks Valley as Dennis Verkamp aims true, pointing Ferdinand toward victory in the sectional. 1 Varsity Players Contort To Extort Points Holland dwarfs Ferdinand as Gerald Hilsmeyer jumps to Up, up and away goes Paul Niehaus as he attempts to grab a rebound with Lee Joe Begle standing ready to block block an Ireland shot in Ferdinand’s second victorious his next move. game of the sectional. Ever Undaunted By Defeat9 Cub Cagers Continue Fight, Capture Second In PVC It was a tough season for the Frosh, with victories few and far between. But they went down fighting all the way. As a fitting climax to the sea- son, the Frosh, shooting fast and furious, beat Holland and Chrisney, winning their first two games in the PVC Tourney. However, in the cham- pionship game they were defeated by Ireland. Thus the season ended with four wins and nine losses.

The year began as a rebuilding sea- son and ended with a promise of a fu- ture varsity. Losing by a large margin in their first games, the boys gradually inched their way to overtimes and vic- tory.

We endured, and we laughed right back at all the jokers, enjoying it all. Unfortunately for us, we also played a ma- jor role in the emotional stability of the upper- classmen. We were the release for all their frus- trated attempts to act their age. And so we were dunked and showered, covered with shav- ing cream and lipstick, had our clothes tempo- rarily swiped, and our hair ratted high—all in the good interests of upperclassmen health and welfare! We tried our darndest to entertain our older classmates with a skit. We succeeded pretty well. After all, who could resist our crazy get- up and our girls pathetic attempt to play bas- ketball? Sectional time came along, and we worked long hours on our crusading yard display. All in all, we got around. We are the freshmen!

Freud would have been very disappointed in us. Though outnumbered and outaged, we never did develop an “identity complex.” On the contrary, we step- ped from obscurity to renown in a day’s time. You see, our class sweaters and jackets came in, and pretty soon everyone remembered us—or else! Surely you’ve heard of migratory populations. Never thought you’d socialize with a migratory population though, did you? Well, there’s a first time for everything, and this was the first time we’d ever been a migratory population. You see, every day, fair weather or foul, in rain and sleet and snow, we trudged the road to St. Ben’s for Latin II and German II. When the cafeteria needed it, we formed a clean-up squad and grabbed our brooms and dust- pans. Candy wrappers and coke cans disappeared like magic. We are the sophomores!

You might say that we were in desperate financial straits from September to April. In short, we need- ed money. Johnson’s war on poverty seemed to have bypassed us—we were left high and dry. Why were we so poverty stricken? Well, it all boils down to financial obligations. To put it bluntly, it was our duty to provide food, shelter, and entertainment for the seniors for one evening. And in this cause we had to scheme and skimp and save. Visions of candy and more candy danced before our eyes. Sell was our motto, and did we ever sell! We were soon out of the red, and the prom became a reality. Though bogged down in financial troubles we still managed to do a lot. We had two state libr- ary officers, always hard at work. And we also com- prised the entire varsity cheerleading squad. Yeah! Rah! We are the juniors!

William Cullen Bryant Seniors Seniors Stagger Through Action-packed Year Basically, we never agreed. However, our one great achi- evement in successful arbitration was the Ring Compromise, which will probably go down as one of history’s “greats” along with the Missouri Compromise. Newcomers to the journalistic field in September, we were seasoned professionals by June. Take a look at the LANCE and the CRUSADER-we edited, perfected, and published them. All year we were up to our ears in head- lines, deadlines, cutlines, and copy. Beauty reigned when eight of us marched to separate stones midst a Grecian temple setting during Basketball Queen Crowning. Resplendent in tuxedos and formals, exuding an air of sophistication, we danced the prom away. For the class trip we underwent an astounding metamorphosis and became our usual wild and rowdy selves. To the solemn tones of “Pomp and Circumstance” we marched up to receive our diplomas, knees shaking benea- th our gowns, caps precariously perched on our heads, and tassels obstructing the view. Yes, we are the seniors! LEFT: At long last, and aren’t they beautiful? Here stand two proud possessors of new senior rings, Cathy Dilger and Bob Burger.
