slr' f '77 SENIOR THEMES DEMAND RESEARCH-Nadine Rains, Frances Opitz, Carol Van Ostrand, Gloria Stone, Louis Light, Art Toms, Gordon Aringdale, and Jim Sheeran. Many talented seniors were discovered when try- outs for the annual Variety Show were held. Bob Robson as Garth Oddfrey served as Master of Ceremonies and the announcer was Gary Mosier. This all-school production was a take-otf on the Arthur Godfrey television show. Acts, composed of seniors, were a Dear John pantomime by Beverly Westbrook and Betty Bumgarner, the Spanish Ser- enaders with Jeannette Kopcho, Delores Stone, and Gloria Stone. Adell Mattley added her zest to the Charleston act, a vocal solo by Beverly Westbrook, and the Dukes , the boys' quartet, were also featured during the talent program. The dance band accompanied the acts and contributed a few additional selections. Dramatic abilities of these prospective graduates were given a chance to develop in the annual Christmas program. Besides the prelude and pro- 543.37 as '-:Tx Q. cessional, the Senior Orchestra played several Christ- mas numbers. These seniors took part in the tableau: Gretchen Stover, Duane Smith, Dick Dearing, and Don Miller. Meet Arizona , a wild and wooly operetta, featured many seniors in the Senior Choir. They managed to sing their way into the funniest sage brush saga ever presented by the choir. Beverly Westbrook, Louis Light, Mary Swanson, Rod Arm- strong, Carol Van Ostrand, and Don Jensen por- trayed leading roles. Senior Skip Day was spent at Harrison Park with the seniors participating in various games followed by a picnic dinner. Shouts of encouragement were heard as these sedate seniors hobbled along in the sock race and tugged mightily in the tug-of-war. Several other relays were held for the entertainment ot the Senior Dukes. Gain Esteem Each in His Own Individual Way ' rel 2'-sr . ' I s 4 vs? f- . l 1k,,...7 gil B Addison R. Armstrong R. Bauers W.

All too soon the year was over. De- serted corridors and vacant lockers silently reminded them of one of the best years of their lives. Finding themselves with the title ot superior seniors, they took charge of great responsibilities. An active participation in school activities was an outstanding characteristic of this class, Heading the Seniors were their class olticers: Jim Schlegelmilch, president, Bill Brannen, vice presi- dent, Sue Cameron, secretary, and Bob Robson, treasurer. Kathryn Epp conducted student body activities as president of the Student Council. Other members from this class were Kathleen Dougherty, vice presi- dent, Dick Dearing, treasurer, Beverly Westbrook, secretary, Jim Schlegelmilch, Bob Robson, Jim Opitz, Carol Van Ostrand, Janet Read, and Janice Brown. Fall brought Queen Lois Light to reign over Homecoming festivities. Her attendants were Gail Frandsen, Sandra Fuller, Joyce Roehrs, and Gretchen Stover. Paul Smith and Bob Harry were chosen co- captains for the grid season by their teammates. Never-to-be-forgotten sals highlighted the home football and basketball games for the senior girls. Booster Club claimed time and energy ot these senior students, Joyce Maronde, vice president, and Paul Smith, banquet chairman. Under the direction ot Wilma Nichols, presi- dent, Y-Teens strived to make this year one of fun and fellowship. Frances Opitz, vice president, and Barbara Brooke, secretary, were other senior officers. Mason, president, Don Pro's and con's were discussed when the seniors prepared their debate. Hours of work were spent by the enthusiastic students trying to discover some fact which would sway the opinions of the audience. An equal battle prevailed as the seniors learned the rudiments of debating. Karin Zethren, Gretchen Stover, and Jim Schlegelmich received awards as ten senior iournal- ism students traveled to Lincoln tor the Nebraska High School Press Convention. Panels and clinics gave opportunities for the iournalists from all over the state to compare notes.
