of being valedictorian of the class of 1944. After transferring to the
Miller High School during her junior year, she maiantained the same high standard
she had previously attained at St. Lawrence. Besides ranking high scholastically, Lorraine has participated in a well-rounded program of extra-curricular activities.

As a senior, she was elected vice-president of her class. Lorraine hopes to attend the University of South Dakota next year. |
