......- xx X , 2 Gftftbigi lf? I SENICJRS Nowhere in a high school do we see a better example of progress than in the senior class. A boy comes to high school as a freshman, and he is greeted by a strange, new environment. He soon makes the adjustment to high school life. The enthusiasm of fresh- man year soon passes into the complacency of sophomore year. A sudden reawakening occurs at the beginning of junior year, for then the boy realizes that more than half of his high school career is behind him. Senior years looms on the horizon. Then finally the boy returns to school one September day and finds that he is not con- sidered a boy any longer. He is a man. He is a senior. He is now regarded as a leader in the school. He looks at the freshmen and he can hardly believe that he looked like that only three short years ago. But now he finds that there is more to being a senior than just glory. There are also problems. The senior finds his course load is no lighter than it was in previous years. But there is another, bigger problem facing the senior and that is the future. Senior year is the year of decision. The senior finds himself busy worrying about college boards. He finds himself going to the guidance office to look over college catalogues. He finds himself fill- ing out applications and waiting nervously for replies. Some seniors find themselves looking for work or planning to enter the service. Before the senior knows it, it is springtime and the big event is coming. He wonders if high school has prepared him for the future. Finally, graduation night arrives. He finds himself walking up to the stage to receive his diploma. He hears his name being called out. Someone is shaking his hand. The greatest year of high school is over. He is a graduate.

HISTORY OF THE PRESHMEN 1966-1967 And it came to pass that four-hundred guys graduated from grammar school and advanced to enter the hallowed halls of Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. It was here that these four-hundred would spend most of their time for the next four years. But this senior class was different, it saw more change than any other class in the history of Loughlin. As freshmen we were eager to take part in the various activi- ties and teams. But, as time progressed, many of us found it necessary to work after school. And then there's those faithful ones who dedi- cate all their time to a certain activities as Craig Kelly and Ray Hyland do to basketball. A lot of credit is also due to the remaining few waterpo- lo members who played for four years and against colleges at that. On the track team, Marty Kreppein and Tony Beal began four years of record-breaking. SOPHUMURES 196.7-1968 As sophomores, we began to see La big change in the student government. It was the year our president promised us a rock concert. We got our concert but the Blues Magoos had only cut one single then and whoever heard of the Vagrants? And sophomore year was also the year of the memorable camera incident. Who will ever forget that? Ah yes! And then of course we all remember Brother Stephen who spread cheer and happiness throughout the school. Many a pleasant afternoon he spoke those comforting words of his to us, No talk- ing, no writing, no sleeping. Left side of the room! Right side of the room! and don't forget - keep your mouth shut. Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end. But this was not the year we waited for. A new age was dawning, but we had not yet reached the Age of Aquarius.
