SENIOR HISTORY Talent, spirit, and the will to take over the lead, have and will always be the guiding directions of the Class of '66. These three molded together made not a few individuals, but a group acting as one. The talent has been found in many wide and dif- fering fields. Members have had the ability to be outstanding scholars, musicians, athletes, and Thes- pians. Each member has had the spirit which enabled him to gain the top goals which he has strived for. With class spirit high, we, as a group, were able to attain all the heights of greatness. From the beginning our class worked by qualities of leadership which has shown like a beacon for the rest to follow. In the light of future years we hope these three become as one to direct us in our tasks of life which we now face. As Freshmen we were determinedto become the best! We seventy-five freshmen were greeted at the hallowed halls of Yelm High School humble , respect- ful, and with the will to take over the lead. After initiation, spirits were regained and we were back on our feet to elect jack Kominski as president and Earlene Hemess as vice-president. Susie Tobin was there withpencil andpaper as the secretary. Jennifer Murphy was the money taker with Terry Gould as the sgt. at arms. We played a big hand in the first Home- coming parade by taking the third place with the float, Remember When. We took over the lead when all danced to Sax's Fifth Avenue as the band played--the 1:radition of the live band was then set for the rest to follow. As Sophomores we still had the drive to become the best. We were on our way with four of the varsity yell leaders coming from our class. Our classmates were among the top in sports with the boys playing on the varsity football squad and winning games on the junior varsity basketball team. Aside from the sports, we elected Mike McFaul to the presidency with Diane Stunmers as his hand- mate. Mary Cameron kept the minutes as secretary. Jack Kominski held the order with the office of sgt. at arms. Earlene Hernesskept Us informed as student council representative. The second annual Homecomingparade included ourfloat, The Spirit of '63 . All gatheredto dance to the eerie sounds of the Outer Limits for our class dance. 'iz H., llsfl: wvilxihmy.

As Juniors the directions of greatness were grow- ing stronger. The all-school plays found juniors with many of the major leads. We also seemed to have fine voices and instrumental abilities as three of our classmates attended Music in May , a re gional music festival. Between plays and concerts, Leon Nutter gained the majority and became class president. Jerry Brown gathered the vice president vote with Earlene Herness as secretary. Lonnie Butler was sgt. at arms, while John Copeland representedus inthe student council. The float We're Coming Alive to Knock Them Dead was constructed by the class in the Herness barn. It was entered in the annual Homecoming pa- rade. The live band blared again for the third time as all danced to the Ho Ho Ho's of the Valley of the jolly Green Giant. We played our part in our first formal dance, Moonlight and Roses. The firstjunior-Senior Prom to be held in the newly built McKenna playshed. Coming back for our lastyear as Seniors, we were now truly in the lead. Class members were student council officers and the presiding officers in clubs. No one could stand in our way as we became the top scholars, musicians, athletes, Thespians, and above all, student leaders. Our Senior year was busy from the start as we s e le cte d our final group of class officers. Terry Gould, president, Mike Fredricks, vice -president, Pat Shattuck, secretary, Robert Olson and Ron Huret, sergeants at arms, and Kathy Aschenbrenner and Jim Henderson, student council representatives. The last Homecoming parade saw our float We 've Got a Tiger On Our Team, and our first Homecoming victory in four years. As the days, weeks, and months passed, we pre- pared ourselves for our moment of glory as the details were worked out for graduation. Between the plan- ning of graduation, we found time to sponsor our class dance and Junior-Senior Prom. As the tears from sorrow and rejoicing were wiped from our eyes, the mighty Class of '66 gathered for the last time at our senior party after graduation. Facing the world, now we hope the guiding di- rections of our high school years will become the guiding directions in our lives of tomorrow. Sue Rochester and Jerry Cowles X, xp R X
