Senior Week LL seniors enjoy the few days or hours - in the case of the Class of '61, definitely the latter - devoted to their Weary class under the title of Senior Week.

Members of Senior Class Erijeg Activitie A LONG shot by Mr. Sinkovich, Lettermen-Faculty Game OR the third consecutive year, experience proved a stronger force than youth as the strong Faculty team trounced Wilson's Letter- men 37 to 32 in the rather wild but highly en- joyable game of basketball held on March 10th in the Wilson gym. The game, sponsored by our Lettermen's Club, helped to replenish the club's sagging treasury. The Faculty team, Which used some definitely unorthodox tech- niques, was led in scoring by Mr. Hannula and Mr. lnveen, Dan Mullen, with a total of fourteen points, led the Lettermen team. Faculty mem- bers Who participated included Mr. Bird, Mr. Hannula, Mr. Stortini, Mr. lnveen, Mr. Wright, Mr. Strenge, Mr. Maenhout, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Burgess, and Mr. Tiegen.
