CHEQUAMECON WASHBURN HIGH SCHOOL WASHBURN, WISCONSIN editorial 2 People need people. They also need memories, memories to be kept and cher- ished until that day when they can once again be taken out, so that you can look back on the days when you were in school and having so much fun with some of the oldest and dearest friends tha t you will have had in your entire life. And I hope that the 1972 annual will be a memorable one especially for the seniors. A special note of thanks goes to Mr. John A lbers and Mr. JerryKinnunenforthe photog- raphy work that captured these many happy and memorable times. THANK YOU IN MEMORY OF MR. LEONARD KOVACHEVICH MR.

We would like to thank those sopho- more girls and Jr. mothers who helped to make it a success, and also Mrs. Meyer, who gave an ex- cellent talk on tradition . We all feel the great loss of our advisor and friend, Mr. Kovachevich. CLASS OFFICERS: B. Sadonis, V-Pres.;B. Lizotte, Treas.;C. Garnich, Sec.; K. Lindsey, Pres. ROW 1: C. Castle, P. Smolen, J.

We started the year by electing our reliable class officers. With the date of Homecoming ap- proaching we elected Annette Bmneau for our queen candidate. We worked very hard on our home- coming float entitled, Sink the Buccanneers. However, we re- ceived third place because un- fortunately, it fell apart before the parade. We are looking forward to next year, when we return as Juniors. OFFICERS: P. Smolen, Sec.; Mr. Albers, Adv.; B. Terry, Pres.; A. Bruneau, Treas.; J. Achter, V-Pres.
