As the Wheel Turned Fine Arts Week, sponsored by the Folk Song Club, presented demonstrations of many types of ort, ranging from painting to modern dance. It was 500 students along with a faculty and adminis- tration of 45, united in a dynamic force, which made the wheel turn at Adlai E. Stevenson High School this year. The spokes of the wheel were the classes, home- work, games, dances, and clubs of a school year. They were students studying, learning, cramming, and learn- ing some more,- crowded halls, weary bones, and confused minds. They were the satisfactions and frus- trations faced by student body and faculty alike. Finally, they were the passing classes, talking, laughing, and walking on—and then they were memories, mem- ories of an unforgettable yeor. 10

A Year of Firsts Although Stevenson was in its second year of existence, the school year was highlighted by a number of firsts. In the area of sports, there was the Pom Pon Squad to brighten games and boost spirit. The new 72 minute periods were put into effect and with them came the Friday assembly programs, presenting both entertain- ing and educational talks for students and faculty alike. Since the senatorial elections occupied much of the fall news, the Social Science Department attempted to stimulate student interest through a Percy-Douglas de- bate. This debate was presented at an all school assembly, after which students were allowed to voice their opinions in a mock election. Finally, for the sen- iors, 1966-67 will be remembered as the year of the Oral Exams, which gave students and faculty alike some means of evaluating the efforts of four years in high school.
