John Robert Boardman, known to almost everyone as Bob, is one of the Senior Class' most active and successful students, both in academic and non-academic subjects.

Most students would balk at the idea of getting up before 6:00 in the morning to deliver papers, but this apparently does not curb Bob's energy, for he had been active in most extracurricular activities. Bob has gone out for four years of football, in which he was a starting guard and linebacker, three years of basketball, and four years of baseball.

Besides there, he has been class vice-president, Bruit 66 sports editor, student council representative and vice-president of the National Honor Society, in which he had been a member for three years.

However, Bob has not neglected his schoolwork. He has taken the accelerated science courses and four years of math, and has still received excellent marks. Bob was one of the two students selected to be eligible for the Elk's Award for Scholarship.

Bob plans to enter Wis. State University at Eau Claire, but has not decided on a major.
