l966 is a serious year for those of you who represent the first graduates who will have attended Orange Glen for a full four years of secondary education. We are confident that you are well equipped to meet the chal- lenges of the tasks that lie before you. Serious are the decisions you must carefully make regarding your future courses. Whether you decide to pursue your studies, to launch upon a vocational ambition, to enter military service or to begin a family life of your own, the de- cisions you make this year will have a profound influence on your future happiness and your useful contribution to the society of which you are a most important member . T966 is a serious year, described by some as the year ofthe Marcher. Public demonstrations, and indeed, Civil disobedience have been highlighted by the news media. We are convinced that the graduates of the class of T966 are well able to distinguish between rebel lion for the sake of rebellion and the responsible challenge to the wisdom of judgement purportedly exercised for the common good . You graduated must continue to prepare yourselves for advances in Science and Technology and for changes in the role the U.S. Government must play in domestic and world affairs. Indeed, you must be prepared to as- sume your role as vital members of an adult society. The staff joins me in extending congatulations and best wishes. If! ...Af . MR . ALLEN FOUCAR Vice-Principal N. .,.,f T MR. PATRICK V. ROSS Principal Another excellent school year has passed at Orange Glen High School. This year has been one of satis- faction, growth, development and accomplishments. lt has been the first year without the noises of con- struction--a year that saw traditions firmly established . Yet new events did occur at school. There were new students, new teachers, and a brand new graduating class. There were new curricular offerings plus an ex- citing new phase in Civics--an international relations simulation exercise. The experiment period structure in Civics and Auto Shop was judged a success. There were new guidance facilities plus new programs--summer counseling, student on-the-iob days, a iob fair, and more individual testing. There were new activities and clubs: the A.S.B. dance was held for the first time in the Multi-Purpose building, the first Homecoming, the student paper sent to all alumni, Bye Bye Birdie, the first musical on the stage, the production of the first Greek Tradegy--Antigone--on the campus, the for- mation ofthe Interact Club, and many more. These innovations were made this year. Considering all facets it was a firm, stable, productive year, yet a new, interesting growing year. A year of which you all may be proud.

QUADE District Superintendent SUPERlNTENDENT'S MESSAGE Dear Students Each year high schools throughout our nation send forth an army of seniors, many of whom are anxious and eager to achieve success in some particular field of endeavor . As you recall the many years spent in reaching this particular stage in your lite, only you can truthfully answer the question, Have l really taken advantage of the many educational op- portunities afforded me? lf your answer is an unconditional Yes then the road ahead may be rough at times, but it will be passable. If your answer is in the negative, the time for change, the time for resolution is at hand. You can still take advantage of a multitude of educational programs designed to accommodate the high school graduate, but no longer will it be a training period imposed upon you by the society in which you live. Now your educational involvement is a direct result of your own decision and not one established by adult lawmakers. Whether your immediate future involves college, junior col- lege, trade school, night school or on-the-iob training, re- solve now to profit from what may have been overlooked in previous years--the many opportunities that are all about you . It might also be well for underclassmen to consider the question previously posed and be guided next year by the counsel of so many who have passed this way before you . Certainly all work and no play makes .lack a dull boy, but a far wiser course of action would involve a work hard, play hard attitude with a goodly portion of each . Regards, G . W . Quade District Superintendent
