world peace. His unprecedented, one-day visit in the U.S. was the culmination of plans by men of all faiths. 7 After Surgery—President Johnson was photographed in a reclining chair at Bcthcsda Naval Hospital the day after his gall bladder operation on October 8. He conducted the work of his office from his hospital room and his Texas ranch during his recuperation. 8 Proud Student—Charles Craig, 19-year-old freshman at Iowa university, demonstrated his criticism of draft-card burning incidents by displaying his draft card on his jacket with the note: “I’m a draft card carrying American and proud of it.” Our role in the Vietnamese war sparked the incidents. 9 Blackout -The glittering metropolis of New York City was thrust into darkness on November 9 by a massive power failure affecting hundreds of miles along the eastern seaboard. City residents and commuters were stranded in offices, railroad and subway stations for hours before service was restored. The crippling condition was caused by a faulty relay at a Canadian generating station near Niagara Falls. - 10 New Ambassador—Arthur Goldberg was named U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations by the President after the death of Ambassador Adlai Stevenson on July 14 in London. Goldbefg was secretary of labor under President Kennedy and a U.S. Supreme Court Justice when named to the U.N. post. 1 1 Startling Fashions—Bold and contrasting blocks of color were the youthful fashion note of 1965. The eye-catching designs even extended the length of campus stockings worn with the costumes. 12 Royalty on four—Princess Margaret and her husband, Lord Snowdon, arrived in New York on November 4 for a whirlwind tour of the U.S. During their visit, they took time out for fun-ffllcd activities such as a ride on a cable car in Frisco and gala parties in Hollywood and the nation's capital. CARILLON FOREWORD The Yearbook Committee was appointed during the fall of last year to piece together a Carillon that Would reflect the character of our class. The committee realized how impossible it is to capture all the good times of our four years of high school in one book. It is not possible to capture the sentiment that has grown within us for our Alma Mater in any number of books. The memories arc in our minds and hearts though, ready to be recalled and enjoyed all over again. Thus the committee established what the purpose of our yearbook would be, to serve as a collection of memories for each member of our class. And our goal is to make it the most attractive, thorough record possible, one our class can be proud to own. We hope that you will glance through it at different intervals of your life, getting more enjoyment out of it each time as the years pass. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page............................ 1 Foreword.............................. 2 Dedication............................ 4 History............................... 5 Administration and Faculty............ 6 Seniors.............................. 16 Underclassmen........................ 42 Activities........................... 50 Athletics............................ 62 Sponsors............................. 75 3 MRS.

Before them they had four of the most fun-filled, four of the most mixed-up, four of the most important years of their lives. That was four years ago. Today we find that those four years have passed, taking with them memories of good times and bad; memories of times we 11 never forget. Today we look back and discover that we are no longer what we were then. Instead of young adolescents, we find that we have been molded into young adults on the threshold of life. As freshmen we elected class officers for the first time. They were: president, Susan Gravelle; vice-president, Michael Diskin; secretary, John Connery; and treasurer, Frederick Osier. That year we found out how a class earns money for its treasury by selling hats and having a food sale. We also had our first, but certainly not our last, successful class supper, at which the food was served pot lock. The crowning touch of our freshman year was the receiving of our class pins which proved to us that we actually were the Class of '66. We began our sophomore year with a little more experience and with a little more knowledge on how to function as a class. The officers we elected were John Connery, John Wright, Julianne Bessett, and Irven Fleury, as president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively. To earn money for our seemingly far-off class trip, we had another food sale and sold various items. That was also the year in which we started holding dances to raise money. We ended our sophomore year with eager prospects in mind for our two remaining years of high school. Was high school really half over? When we returned to school the following fall as Jolly Juniors, we knew we were in for a busy year. Our elected officers were John Connery, president; Juliann Bessett, vice-president; Irven Fleury, secretary; and Michael Diskin, treasurer. Serving roast beef as the main course at our third successful class supper proved to be an innovation which added to the enjoyment of all present. To fill our treasury that third year, we sold many items, including knives and stationery, operated the concession at football games, and had a food sale. Our Junior Plays, Let's Make Up, Judgment Morning, and A Cup of Tea, went over very well and made very enjoyable entertainment under the expert directions of Mr. Marshall, Mr. Roycc, and Mrs. Camey. It was a very exciting day for every member of our class when we learned of the arrival, after many long months of waiting, of our much-longed-for class rings. For many weeks after this event, that small ring of metal belonging to each junior seemed somehow to be the most noticeable part of his anatomy. Of course, this was the year of our Junior Prom. The chosen theme was Wonderland by Night. Our Queen was Susan Gravelle; her court consisted of Ricky teReile, Bonnie Mattison, Julie Bessett, Marion Anderson, Barbara Jones, and Elaine Vetter. It was a year to remember! In September of our senior year, we elected officers for the las time. These were President Michael Diskin; Vice-President John Wright, Secretary Irven Fleury, and Treasurer Juliann Bessett. We served meat loaf at our last class supper, which was also a large success. Some of the money-making projects we used that year were the selling of Christmas cards and magazines, holding dances, and having a seed-selling contest for the sixth-graders. We also took over the candy store and had the football and basketball concessions. Our Senior Play went very well. It was A COMEDY OF ERRORS, a thrilling comedy with a large case ably directed by Mr. Sola. Now, as our years of high school come to an end, we look back upon all the good times, hard work, and sorrow, too, thinking, These were the best years of my life. But we are still quite young. 5 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY Board of Education FRONT: Mr. Reale, Mr. Catlin, Mr. TenHaken, Mr. Russell, Mr. Drake.

Brennan World News—1965 1 Humanitarian Dies—Dr. Albert Schweitzer died in September at Lambarene, his primitive hospital at the African jungle outpost of Gabon. The famed physician, who reached his 90th birthday in January, worked most of his life to relieve the suffering of jungle natives. 2 Queen Speaks—Queen Elizabeth II dedicated the John F. Kennedy memorial at Runnymede, England on May 14. Mrs. Kennedy is seated to the left and Prince Philip to the right of the queen. Carolyn Kennedy is seated between the queen and her mother, and Sen. Robert Kennedy stands behind Mrs. Kennedy. 3 Miss Universe—The reigning queen of beauty in the universe during the year was a representative from Thailand. 4 Bosch Returns—Former Dominican Republic President Juan Bosch was vehement in his address at a rally September 25, shortly after his return to Santo Domingo. 5 Wins m Run-Off— Charles deGaulle polled 55.2 per cent of the vote in a run-off election against Francois Mitterrand on December 19. The vote gave DeGaulle the French presidency for another 7 years, but the strength of the Socialist-Communistic candidate corroded the popularity of the 71-year-old president.. 6 Agrees to Cease-Fire—Pakistani Foreign Minister Zulfikar Bhutto (right) agreed in the U.N. Security Council on September 22 to accept the Council’s cease-fire order in the undeclared war between Pakistan and India. Pakistan’s announcement came after India had agreed to the order. 7 Abortive Coup Fails—Indonesian President Sukarno was toppled from power for a brief 20 hours last fall. He gestured at a cabinet 6 meeting on October 6 during his first public appearance after the coup, which seriously shook his one-man rule. 8 Soviet Winner—Russian author Mikhail Sholokhov was vacationing in the Ural region on October 18 when he heard he had been awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize for Literature. The December award ceremony was held in Stockholm. 9 Return to Desolation—Hundreds of families returned to the wreckage of their homes, destroyed by eruption of Taal volcano, south of Manila, on September 28. Volcanic ash covered a six-mile-square area. The death toll was estimated at 500. 10 Price of War—The number of casualties increased as the U.S. stepped up its military action in Vietnam. American advisors took part in many helicopter missions, carrying wounded soldiers, both Vietnamese and American, to copters on makeshift litters for evacuation to Saigon. 1 1 Reason to Celebrate—Chancellor Ludwig Erhard of West Germany waved to a cheering crowd in Bonn after his Christian Democrats surged to victory in the September 19 parliamentary elections. Mayor Willy Brandt’s Social Democrats suffered defeat in the voting. 12 Colonial Rule Shaken—Rhodesian Premier Ian Smith broadcast a proclamation of sovereign independence for Rhodesia on November 11. The split from Britain was made in an attempt to insure a white minority rule of the African colony. It was the first such move against Britain since the American colonies broke away in 1776. Britain retaliated swiftly and took the problem to the U.N. Security Council, which asked all nations to enforce an oil embargo against the African colony. • A • ; 7 '’ -;Vi .rV. - v 7- t- t . w _ y a • v - � ■ I'. � - • T - ' • ’ .
