'Tis education forms the common mind: Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined. As we traipsed down the aisle, we realized the day we had been waiting for was here and we were not nearly so happy as we thought we would be. As we continue in the field of learning we will always remember the happy days spent in high school. We wish to thank the teachers who so unselfishly gave their time to us. CLASS FLOWER: CLASS COLOR: BLUE MUMS BLUE SILVER Leland Helmle, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Helmle, has put many hours of hard work into attaining the honor of valedictorian. Leland took the National Merit Scholars hip Qualifying Test when he was a jun- ior and advanced to the Finalist stage. He is a- mongthe 14,000, or one- half of one percent, of the secondary school seniors. Leland plans to con- tinue his education by majoring in one of the fields of science. Kenton Nicholas, Sal- utatorian of the Class of 65, also won top honors in the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. He achieved the Certificate of Merit which placed him in the upper 2 percent of the se- condary school seniors who took the test. Kenton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Nicholas, plans to further his educa - tioninthe field of Dentis- try. L. D. Neely and Mary Canny led the seniors into the sanc- tuary from the parlor on Bac- calaureate night. L. D. and Mary were chosen from the jun- ior class to guide the seniors through their last exercises. 15

In the midst of the thirty-six seniors and forty-eight trophies, Marlon Neely reads the Class History. After many hours of practice, Dick Irwin and Nancy Tucker play beau- tifully for Commencement. The Senior Quintet practices for Bac- calaureate Ceremonies where they will sing Prayer Perfect. -1 -) The Boys plan activities for the evening after graduation as they talked in little groups. Seniors Close School Activities Graduates discuss last minute details before the big moment arrives. The last week of exer- ciseswashere and gone before the seniors knew what was hap- pening Baccalaureate was a huge success with everyone keeping in step with his part- ner. Mrs. Darrel Ruth played the organ and filled the air with the tenseness that goes with graduating. Rev. Wayne Plum- mer's sermon, Building Wis- dom's House, turned out to be a sensational hit. Relaxation was the first thing taken into consideration on Class Night by all the sen- iors. Starting with the wel- come was Salutatorian Kenton Nicholas, and finishing with the farewell was Valedictorian Leland Helmle. Musical tal- ent was shown by a Mixed En- semble who sang Enjoy Your- self. Presentation of awards by the faculty made the even- ing complete with Karen Tuck- er receiving the outstanding musician award, and Marlon Neely receiving the outstand- ing athletic award. Commencement had ar- rived and the seniors were in- step to Pomp and Circum- stance. Memories floated through the air as the Sopho- more 12tet sang Graduation Day. Dean Elland's address on Change and Changeless told of the changes in society and explained things such as honesty that don'f change. Mrs. Marion Seyb presented the dip- lomas to the class. Shaking hands afterwards we were all wished the Best of Luck and Happiness Always.

 Anotheryear has ended, Just one more year to go, It was hard work but rewarding in the end: these were a few of the replies heard from the Junior Class on the last day of school. The junior year is the busiest is a familiar quote and the juniors were quick to agree. They plunged in full force right at first by making their goal and more in the annual magazine sale, but were relieved when they were able to choose their class rings which separated them from any other class. This pace didn't stop either, for they had to plan the Christmas Program. This proved to be both inspirational and enjoyable. They slowed down for a short while but came charging back in time for the Valentine Party. Sing- ing valentines, bargain valentines, regular valentines, and telegrams were on the agenda along with brownies and punch. This was all behind them but something more demanding and rewarding loomed ahead of them—The Junior- Senior Banquet and Prom. This took almost all their spare time for several weeks; but when the big night arrived, everyone agreed it was well worth the effort. And now another year has come to a close. The last year's Juniors are now wearing the title The Big Seniors. We Did It Made Our Goal Marilyn Arnold Wayne Barber Barbara Barstow Mary Canny Lynda Cartwright John M.
