some of its glitter with the threat of approaching National Merit Tests, P.S.A.T.'s, and last but not least, college boards. The counselors advised us as to the importance of our futures and continually stressed the fact that if we planned to make anything of ourselves, we had better get started NOW. Near the close of our second year, we chose to lead us as reigning seniors, two members of the band. We selected our class colors of cranberry and white, and our class banner, which would be left behind as a remnant of the Class of '67 when we had at last departed from these ‘hallowed halls.’ We were set for another year, we all hoped it would be a prosperous one. Although glad to have a vacation, most of us must admittingly confess that we greatly anticipated the return to school and the events that would follow. It is now 1966, and we the Class of '67 have come to the ‘beginning of the end’. For many of us it will be a rough year. There will be deci- sions of great importance to be made concerning our futures, but we will be able to make them wisely and after careful consideration because for the past two years we have gained knowledge and maturi- ty at Tech. Our counselors and teachers have praised and reprimand- ed us, but even more, they have guided us. The past two years have been fun, exciting, and beneficial. Now we are in our final year, the Senior Prom and banquet, and then graduation will be here before we realize where the year has gone. Will we let the year slip by, or will the time between now and June be filled with excitement, fun, and benefits? It is up to us, the C lass of '67.
