This year we had a very ambitious "B" Team. With hard work and hustle on the
part of every player, they ended the season with a record of five wins and eleven
losses. Although they were young and inexperienced, they have the potential of being
fine basketball material in the future.

On Sunday, May 2, twenty-six Seniors and their sponsors left for the Lake of the
Ozarks. The two days at Kirkwood Lodge were filled with many exciting activities.
Swimming, sunning, boating, and horseback riding were favorite day-time sports. A
dance and a talent show were held each night. The Seniors arrived safely home Tuesday, May 4, exhausted but happy.

CLASS OF 1965-0UR HISTORY
Twenty-seven shy freshmen entered high school in September, four short /e'ars
ago. That year Amy Jones led the class as President, Connie Bahner as Vice-president,
and Helen Wehner as Secretary-Treasurer. Diana Cowan and Dwight Martinek were
our Student Council representatives and Mr. Wallace Glanville was our class sponsor.
Our first class party was held in the gym with the sophomore class. We danced, tumbled, and played games all evening. The party was enjoyed by all.
Dave Mazer, Jim Boyles, and Larry Morrison were not with us our sophomore
year, however Connie Smith and Randy Scott joined us. Our class officers were Dan
Dayton, President; Diana Cowan, Vice-president; and Daryl Mitchell, Secretary. Treasurer. Our Student Council representatives were Amy Jones and Orner Van Vleck
and again Mr. Glanville was our sponsor. Our class party this year was a skating
party which was Q.eld at the Roll-A-Way Rink in Topeka. Connie Smith left us during
second semester.
At the start of our junior year, Laura Van Vleck was not with us and during the
first semester Shirley Taylor transferred to another school. Both Oren Kovar and
Donna Hagedorn joined us this year. Chosen to lead us this year were Helen Wehner,
President; Dwight Martinek, Vice-president; Diana Cowan, Secretary; and Orner Van
Vleck, Treasurer. Marilyn Trubey and Donna Hagedorn were our Student Council
representatives and Mrs. Simmers was our sponsor this year. We presented a threeact comedy play, DEAR DIARY, which was held on November 27. The play was highly
successful and was directed by Mr. Hedges. We honored the seniors at the JuniorSenior Prom, April 18. The theme of the prom, "Evening in Paris", was carried out
with sidewalk cafes, a fountain, and a mural scene of the Eiffel Tower. Music for the
evening was provided by the "Runaways," a combo group from Topeka.
· Our senior year finally arrived and Shirley Taylor and Laura Van Vleck were with
us once again. Ron Webster, Ralph Taylor, and Tom Gideon also joined us this year.
Leading us this last year in high school were Charles Meade, Presidentj Randy Scott,
Vice-president; Donna Hagedorn, Treasurer; and Rebecca Zeller, Secretary: Student
Council representatives were Dan Dayton and Dwight Martinek and our class sponsor
was Mr. Richardson. Orner Van Vleck served as the Student Council president this
year. Our senior play, THE MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS, was quite a success
under the direction of Mr. Hedges. We seniors highly enjoyed the Junior-Senior Prom
which was given in our honor on April 24. The theme of the prom, "Roman Holiday",
was carried out with purple, gold and white paper streamers. Huge pillars, ornamented with gold grapes, were placed about the room. Music for the evening was provided by the "Hi-Lites," a dance band from Seaman.
One of the biggest highlights of our senior year was our senior sneak trip. On
May 1, twenty-six excited seniors left for the Lake of the Ozarks to stay at Kirkwood
Lodge. We were kept busy for two days swimming, sunning, boat riding, horseback
riding, dancing, seaplane riding, and viewing scenic Bridal Cave. The trip was enjoyed by all, and everyone hated to leave.
Baccalaureate was held May 16 and the day long awaited for finally arrived. We
seniors marched down the aisle to graduate on May 21, 1965.
