With Winter, A New Year REMEMBER WHEN winter burst upon us, and we prepared for the long stretch ahead? The shock of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy impressed us with the need to ask What we can do for our country. Junior girls worked feverishly on last minute details for their Holiday Dance as Christmas vacation approached. The refreshing break end- ed as a new year began, and we returned to school with its many activities. January brought a flurry of activity in the band room as Tophatters put polishing touches on their performance. Empty spots were hard to find with last minute cramming for semester finals. College Boards brought delight or disappoint- ment to seniors. Wow, a 600 in Math or How did I get 500 in English showed most were delighted. The winter season was mild but unforget- able. The state debate trophy returned with our first place team from the Madison contest. We joined in tribute to the late President Kennedy. Hours of studying helped students improve their grades.

There are times when football really gets you down. Our band entertained at football games with a college-sound and precision. Wausau Week abounded with school spirit and Queen cam- paigning. Ann Schlitz reigned as our lovely Queen at the victorious homecoming game and victory dance. Prevailing winds left the fall whirling in memories and brought in winter. Ann Schlitz waves to the crowds during homecoming. The State Football Champs receive their award Paul can only say Take Her, She's Mine.
