Former Teachers Receive Dedication In the first three years of our high school careers, prob- ably no one has influenced us more than have Fathers Ray- mond Kuper and Bernard Verkamp. As members of the teaching staff of St. Ferdinand High School, they have in their religion classes helped us to formulate our hopes, goals, and desires as young Christians into a unified plan. New ideas and a new youth and vigor relating to our beliefs were clearly defined in the course of three years’ study. Guidance counseling was inaugurated at FHS by these two priests. Through their efforts many of us received the advice we needed for making future plans and the encour- agement and enlightenment to live in our world today. Father Verkamp performed additional duties as superin- tendent of our high school. Certainly the way he carried out school policies has and will effect us greatly. Father Kuper also carried an extra load. A number of students have benefited from weekly YCS meetings and a larger group from an active CYO group. Therefore, having reached the goal of our high school years, we, the Class of 1969, wish to dedicate this yearbook to Fathers Kuper and Verkamp in recognition of the con- tribution they have made to our lives. Father Bernard Verkamp attends to administrative duties as superintendent of St. Ferdinand High School.

Another year has passed during which another freshman class has again had to endure the upperclassmen’s attempts to shake their courage and initiative. But their class has survived the ordeal and has acquired honors along the way. During the past year they have struggled, achieved, and triumphed. Through their efforts, they have finally earned their place as students of FHS and intend to remain so until 1972. The freshmen made their elders, the upperclassmen, stand up and take notice as their class con- sistently led the honor roll in scholas- tic achievement. The freshman girls displayed their singing talent as they merited first place in the music contest at the University of Evansville. The float they entered in the Civic Center Fund parade won a first in effort in the minds of many.

Reflections of a Hope for the Future Seniors Senior Initiative Provides Scott Begle We proudly present the Seniors of 1969. Throughout our high school career, we have continuously worked to create the present image of our class. As freshmen and sophomores we willingly took our place as underclassmen, serving the needs of our elders. We participated actively in school organizations and projects. Our junior year found us taking on the responsibilities of upperclassmen. Because of the combined efforts of our class, the prom was a great success. As seniors, we led the students of Ferdinand High School by our encouraging example. We assumed the tra- ditional responsibilities of seniors. In addi- tion, we canvassed the area selling raffle tickets for hams in order to finance our class trip. A two-day venture in St. Louis was our destination. Because of our excellent train- ing, we eagerly face the leadership of tomor- row.
