The Reign Has. Ended ' Vivid Memories Follow Departing Graduates The Class of 1968 has spent four long, but re- warding years at Aviation High School. They have been involved in everything from the seemingly never-ending chore of homework to cheering our athletic teams to victory. As Freshmen, they were bewildered and awed by the pace of high school life. The class was sucessfully led through their first year by President Chris Kamper and Vice President Mike Leebrick. Sports occupied the boys ' spare time, while the girls found drill team tryouts important. They adjusted quickly and became accustomed to the daily routine. Sparked by Mr. Roland Glo er, the Sophomore cry of ' 68 is Great rang through the school. They became known for their abundance of school spirit. Their activities ranged from the exciting task of ordering rings to the harrowing experience of near- misses in Driver ' s Training. Their Junior vear was probably the busiest for the Class of ' 68. Spirit was again a major factor in the drive to gain status and maturity. Pep Club, In- teract, Key Club, Girls ' and Boys ' Leagues, sports, the Senior Circle, and Student Body elections at- tracted the interest of the active ' 68ers. Paul Haut and Ken Casey (who was sent to South Africa for a year) served as Aviation ' s representatives in the American Field Service. Under the guidance of President Richard Breeden, the Juniors planned the Prom, which was held on the S.S. Princess Louise. As Seniors, the Class of ' 68 busied themselves with Senior pictures, graduation announcements, studying for that last exam, applying for scholar- ships, and getting acquainted with our exchange students Helene and Supote. Seniors took over the lead in many of the various clubs, and reigned at Homecoming and the Christmas dance. With the Class of 1968 go the memories of the deeds they leave behind. But what seems like the ending is only the beginning — the beginning of each of their lives and of the responsibilities that come with growing maturity. The reign has ended.

The spirited Junior Class was very active this past year. In spite of difficult schedules, they have found time for many campus activities. They ex- hibited their spirit through Pep Club, Drill Team, and the Spirit Club. The juniors confirmed their athletic capabilities in JV and Varsity Football, Basketball, Water Polo, and Baseball. Outside of these functions, they took time out to join the many service clubs on campus. Reigning as Key Club and Pacific Shores C)ueens were Bea Shields and Cindy Bowling. Also, five of the seven Student Council scats were occupied by Junior Class members. But perhaps the greatest success of the year was the Prom, which was planned for the Seniors by the Junior Cla.ss. It was held at the Ambassador Hotel on May 17, and proved to be one of the most exciting and colorful events of the year. The Juniors now saddle up for their last year in high school as they take on the role of Kings of the Campus. Way ahead of I he oth- er Varsity players.
