Senior art students cluster about Peggy King ' s water color and hope theirs will be as successful. L-r are Gail Blake, Bob Skidmore, Michael Reier, and Debbie Hopf. All snoggles are woggles; this woggle ' s a luke, claims Tom Widerman poetically. But what ' s a luke? puzzle Mary Frances Smith and Rhona Keim. Odd as it sounds, the logic of modern math can be discerned here. Danny DuVall has just stopped in to see how the POD project is progressing. Look, Dan, says Debbie, Mary Jo and Nancy really are getting ahead. Paul Malicki meantime looks as if the extra work is paying off. 36

1 ■ 1 ■ 1- i 1 , L • 1 1 The long-awaited moment has finally arrived. Austin Wallace watches seriously as Pat Toye receives her school ring from Monsignor. Richard Herbig assists. What dreams, triumphs, and happy memories may crystallize in a gleaming blue stone! Marilyn Cross ' joy is evident as she quietly admires her newest treasure during the assembly at which Monsignor graciously presided. Eight steps up was a tense climb. Then, a smile. Congratulations, a warm handshake, a small white package. Then, through a golden arc topped by a simulated blue stone. A door swung closed. The arc was a door . . . one yet many, and as one door closes another must open. So here. Eight steps down, but unnoticed. The auditorium seat squeaked as it un- folded, was filled. At last — a snap of the staple, the crinkle of paper and then — for a second— just a fraction of a minute — everything halted. The past, ho! the present stood still . . . the future stretched ahead. There gleamed a royal stone set in a gold bank engraved with symbols . . . a year, a challenge, a pledge. Yet the ring was a symbol in itself — the CLASS of 1964— The night of the Ring Dance would be filled with special moments — danc- ing to a favorite soft melody, beneath the ring, before the grotto; a whisper private between two; a joke shared by all; the March . . . But nothing would recapture that split second of realization . . . Seniors we are — Graduates we soon will be. — MEF TC It; ill always he the RING DAY ceremonies 35

SENIORS hard nvorh homework slow worh no worh Precise measurements are a strict requirement in this physics lab where Pot Zeller and Dick Miller demonstrate a theory.
