Students Find Romance Waiting Under the Sweetheart Tree Attendant. . . Attendant. . . Cindy Noxon Robin Earnest ig 3 . ,ti V. gf. .xx . Attendant. . . Vicki Norris Qi ' Nnf A RETURN TO the traditional was seen at this year's Sweetheart Dance. Valentine colors of red and white turned the cafeteria into a setting worthy of the theme The Sweetheart Tree. The mood was set by a tree-banked throne and wall and ceiling decora- tions of tissue and crepe paper. However, the main attraction proved to be a tremendous artificial tree placed in the center of the floor. The five girls nominated to reign over this romantic setting were Robin Earnest, Vicki Norris, Cindy Noxon, Susan Scariano, and Sue Wright. They were chosen during a sponsor group meeting as each boy voted for his favorite senior girl. The student body then voted on the queen at a special assembly as the candidates were presented sitting on a swing hung from the boughs of the Sweetheart Tree. Named as queen, Susan Scariano was crowned at the dance by her escort Steve Caulder. Her attendants, Robin Earnest, Vicki Norris, Cindy Noxon, and Sue Wright, were escorted by Vance Hemphill, Steve Tucker, Dale lsley, and Gary Osburn, respectively. Susan's expressions reflect her surprise at being crowned queen.

Prominent Students Honored by Selection of Wahian Royalty ENTHUSIASM, INVOLVEMENT, and contributions in both academic and extracurricular activities were estimated by the faculty as they elected the 1967-68 Wahian Royalty. Submitted to the faculty for final ap- praisal were the names of twelve students nominated by the Wahian staff: Tom Atkinson, Charlie Bolte, Tay- lor Carey, John Casey, Lisa Girard, Kathy Graham, Toby Kircher, Cindy Noxon, Soozi Palmer, Mike Reed, Karen Reuter, and Lila Rioth. Those students elected were John Casey, Taylor Carey, Toby Kircher, Soozi Palmer, Lila Rioth, and Lisa Girard. Soozi Palmer supported Wasson as a member of the Pep Club and Cabinet. As secretary of assemblies, Soozi contributed many long hours for the purpose of organizing both entertaining and informative assem- blies. Lila Rioth presented Wasson with her varied abil- ities through Council, Publicity Committee, yearbook staff, and as president of F.T.A. Supplying her efforts as vice president of the student body and as a member of Pep Club, Lisa Girard proved her worthiness of Wa- hian Royalty. John Casey's commendable services as president of the student body and as captain of the gymnastics team, made him an appropriate candidate for Wahian Royalty. As president of C-Club and as an exceptional gymnast, Taylor Carey deserved recognition. Toby Kir- cher's extra-curricular activities as chairman of Council and as captain of the cross-country team proved to be beneficial to both Toby and to Wasson. The exceptional efforts of these students provided rewarding contributions to Wasson through skills in academics, various sports, and fine arts. NOMINEES - FRONT ROWS Lisa Girard, Cindy Noxon.
