Senior class Sue Butzow, Audrey Clark, Miss Adams, Earl Roberts, Charles Anderson. Seniors found the final year at Sycohi a strange paradox. As graduation-time grew closer, they suddenly began to regard those past years as, not so bad after all, and sessions of remember the time, became more and more frequent. The nucleus of almost all Sycohi organizations was composed of competent seniors. The Leaves' Staff was under the direction of Marilyn Hoffmann, editorg Dorothy Tamlyn, literary editorg Audrey Clark, secretary, Kay Frautschy, business manager. Seniors who presided over various other organizations were: Jody Horne, Pep Clubg Sue Butzow, FHA and National Honor Society, Gene Wirsing, FFAg Annie Wilson, GAA, Nina Nichols, school paperg Argel Davis, AVOC'sg Ken Knudsen, Spartan Club. Jay Haka and Chuck Minnihan were elected co-captains of the football team, and Ken Knudsen and Gene Wade, co-captains of the basket- ball team. Nan Byrd, cheerleader, Bev Gilmore, leader of the flag twirlers, and Dorothy Tamlyn, pep band director, contributed to school spirit and entertain- ment at various athletic events. At senior class-play time, Norma Wildenradt was a properly sarcastic Miss Brooks. Six Class Colors: Maroon and White Class Flower: White Rose Class Motto: Not Finished, Just Begun. seniors were inducted into the National Honor Society during the year, increasing the number of senior members to the accepted fifteen per cent. On class day many awards fell to worthy seniors who actively participated in these various organizations. However. not all could be leaders. Many were on the teams, a member of a club, played in the band, sang in a chorus, worked on the annual, or acted in the play, and were very important to the success of these activities. On May 18, following the annual Class Day program, all seniors met in the high school cafeteria, where they were honored at a class dinner. At the conclusion of the dinner, social dancing and fellowship were enjoyed. Then preceding graduation, the high school career of these students was climaxed by the yearly picnic held at Starved Rock. As these young people depart into a world filled with confusion and turmoil, they face the responsibility of building a better world on a firm foundation of peace - for their work is, Not finished, just begun.
