Ed Weir. All-American athlete from Superior, presents the royal roses to Janet Braun, senior, chosen queen by the S-Oub. Her attendants are Linda Hill, junior; Bonnie Kleinsasser, sophomore, and Becky Waddle, freshman. Star athletes present and past were honored at traditional spring festiv- ities—the All-Sports Banquet sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and the Ed Weir Track Meet. A tie in the voting for Senior Athlete of the Year re- sulted in two trophies being awarded— one to Terry Zeigler and the other to Ken Heitman. Zeigler is a four-letter man, having earned three monograms in fpotball, two each in basketball and track, and one in baseball. Heitman lettered four years in cross country and track, setting school records in both sports and a state Class B record in the two-mile. Mitch Jacoby was selected by the football coaches as De- fensive Player of the Year, and his name engraved on the traveling trophy. Earlier in the spring, a former SHS athlete was on hand to preside at the track meet held in his honor. Ed Weir pre- sented the roses to Queen Janet Braun, who, with her at- tendants, acted as his ambassadors to present medals to the winners. Blue Hill won the team trophy. Ken Heitman was Superior ' s only winner, with Dan Jackson and Rick Alexander placing second, and Paul Weber, Dale Gray, Gary Lillich, Jim Conger, and Randy Alexander accounting for other points. One of Queen Janet ' s duties is presenting medals to winners of the various races and field events. 47
