JOSEPH RUSSELL The Senior Class takes pleasure Mr. Russell in dedicating our 1967 Northern Lights annual to you. For your constant effort in teaching us English and history and for your friendship and enthusiasm, we are truly grateful. We will always remember and appreciate the “Coach” who introduced wrestling in our school. May you enjoy good health so that many students can benefit from your guidance as we have for the past two years. 49 TO THE CLASS OF 1967 When you have had the opportunity to go out into the main stream of life and test your knowledge and skills I am sure that you will look back on your years of high school with a degree of satisfaction. In your reflection you will see that you have done well both scholastically and in your activities. The faculty, administration, trustees and community have that satisfaction now — for you have done well. Life does not stop at the cradle nor does it stop at your graduation from high school. Your task now is to take your place in the world as honorable citizens; performing in your chosen careers, contributing your talents to help cure social ills and providing leadership so that others may enjoy the privileges and opportunities that you have had. Good luck and God Bless you. Bruce G. Milne 50 52 Faculty MR. CHARLES VAN GORDEN (Principal) MRS. CONNIE LOHSE MR. EDWARD OLECHOVSKY 53 MR. JOE RUSSELL MR. ROLLAND GROTBO MR. LARRY BRASEN MR.
