UIET SENIORS AT WORK Every class has expenses and we were no exception. A Ways and Means Committee was set up to discuss them and work out ways and means of raising funds to meet them. These expenses included such activities as the Annual and Gala Week. Projects arranged by the Ways and Means Committee for raising the neces- sary funds included selling parking space to spectators of the Notre Dame-Purdue football game, class dues, and, of course, the Senior Class Play. Efficiently heading the committee was David Risk. assisted by Iohn Woods, Randy Lingle, Tom Anderson, Mary Brown, Nancy Cox, lim Gibson, Tom Harshbarger, Karen Lister, and Pete Weiler. Committees on Invitations and Name Cards were appointed and assigned specific duties. The Invitations Committee, headed by Dorothy Neisz, ordered the commencement invitations which they selected. Other members of the committee were Pat Knicklebine and Ernestine Lake. The Name Cards Committee, composed of Ann Liston and Carolyn Evans, accepted orders for individual name cards. Committees appointed to select and arrange senior entertainment projects were the Play Reading and the Convo Committees. The Play Reading Committee was responsible for select- ing the Senior Class Play. After many hours of reading and discussing the problems and pos- sibilities of various manuscripts, the committee, headed by Ruth Walerstein, chose the comedy, Father of the Bride. Other members of this committee were Tom Dowling and Ianet Eaton. The Senior Convo will be remembered by the whole school as a masterpiece of originality, confusion, and delightful entertainment. Co- chairmen of this committee were Madonna Dienhart and Barry Elkin. Nearly everyone in the class contributed ideas, talent and effort toward the success of the Convo. Gala Week proved to be the most memorable week of our high school career. Plans and ideas originated with Ann Liston and her committee consisting of Don Dienhart, Fay Follett, Dave Kurtz, Cay Graney, Ann Freehafer, Harold Sabbagh, Randy Balyeat, Karen Lister, and Ernestine Lake. Gala Week was climaxed by graduation. and no graduation is complete without the traditional cap and gown. Duties of the Caps and Gowns Committee included obtaining measurements of all the seniors and then plac- ing orders correctly. Members of this year's Caps and Gowns Committee were Bruce Smith. Eugene Lee, Barbara Chastain, and Mary Iean Peterson. Pugr' 25
