A Time to Keep . . . The Class of 1966 has been the first class to complete all six years of secondary education as members of the Clayton High School community. We have also been witnesses of birth and of death in local, national, and world matters. Through it all, no matter how hard life seemed to be, the years 1960 to 1966 have been a time to keep . . . a time not to forget and a time to be distinguished from all other times in our lives. We entered C.H.S. as scared, noisy, seventh graders scurrying around in an already crowded hallway. As we entered, so did a man who was soon to figure prominantly in our education, our school, and our class. Our 7th and 8th grade years passed swiftly without irregularity but for an incident at Philadelphia's lnter- national Airport . . . nevertheless, those two years served as steppingstones to our official entry into Clayton High School. The man who had come to C.H.S. with us was appointed our class advisor. September, 1962, approached-we were bound for a new building, a new principal, and a new class president. The class sold stationery during the summer, presenting a box to Governor Richard J. Hughes at the dedication of the new school during CIayton's 75th Anniversary. Then there was the Hallowe'en Parade and the float to build-so we worked and became the first freshman class to win second place in years! And no wonder: our Pineapple Princess featured Linda Falisi as queen with her attendants Karen Barclay and Linda Hartz. The welcome Home Dance for the Class of 1963 was held in March and again we became unique by being one of the few classes to clear a profit on the traditional event B01 while plans for this were being made, during the winter months we were sponsoring movies in the gymnasium on Saturday nights. On April 19, 1963, President Kay Ferrel presented our modern, Guiding Light class banner to the school, with the class voting unanimously to dedicate it to Charles Pop Kramer. The banner took its place in the cafeteria amid cries of little Cuba and the clique rules . As the Class of 1963 graduated, Jeff Pearlstein took over the cumbrous iob of class president . . . the cries were extinguished. The class continued selling booster buttons from their freshman year during football season. Our class float, Dona Nobis Pacem , or Give Unto Us Peace, featured Linda Hartz as queen and Sharon Campbell and Alice Strockbine as attendants. The traditional Valentine's Dance, Hearts and Flowers , was a success. Lynne Sturts became iunior class president and our first activity that year was the third place float, Bird in a Gilded Cage, featuring Alice Strockbine as our queen. Sharon Campbell and Alison O'Donnell completed the picture, and it was these three girls who reigned as the Kiwanis queens in the 1965 Hallowe'en Parade. On Monday, November 16th, we received our long-awaited class rings, In January we gave the Snowflake Folly, the next month we put on a spaghetti dinner, well-attended by all townspeople. I8
