A time for smiles and tears-that was Commencement Week, 1970, which culminated in graduation exercises on Tuesday, May 19. Varied thoughts ran through the minds of 67 seniors as they walked the length of the SHS gymnasium for the final time. Music by the clarinet quartet, some songs by the Super- ior Singers and it was time for the graduation speeches in which Nancy Headrick, Cynthia Higer, John Mullet and Randy Alexander elaborated on the class theme, A Time for Us. Stephanie Wallis was presented as valedictorian and Margaret Quy as salutatorian, with seven boys and one girl rounding out the list of the top ten. Mr. Leslie Alexander presented the diplomas as Principal Charles Haase announced the graduates and Superintendent Dale Mooberry stood by to congratulate them. The Rev. Robert J. Leege gave the invocation and benediction. On Sunday niglit, the Rev. Albert J. Kleinsasser delivered the baccalaureate sermon, with the Rev. Don T. Stewart presiding at the invocation and benediction. Special music was by the Mixed Chorus. Mrs. John Mills played the pro- cessionals for the graduation ceremonies. Senior Night, on Monday, was tiie occasion for the awarding of various honors, while scholarships were pre- sented during the commencement exercises.

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
