With great pleasure, I went as a Rotary ' foreign exchange student to represent our Bainbridge Rotary. I lived in a typical southwest sea-coast town with narrow streets and stone buildings. It was in the center of Girvan over a tea room bakery that the Johnstones, my Scotish family, lived. There was never a dull moment, I saw most of Scotland including Glasgow and the capital Edinburgh. I saw many castles and was fortu- nate to see Tony -Lema in the British Open. I was impressed by the great amount of friendliness and hospitality shown by the people of Scotland. Again, many thanks to the Johnstones, the Girvan Rotary Club and the Bainbridge Rotary Club. Norman Booth 89 k , l

From Australia comes Susette Lindsey shown here presenting Mrs Niles with a book on Australia as REPRESENTING OUR SCHOOL AT COLGATE QENIOES IN TF-IE NEWS At Boys State we learned how our New York State government func- tions on all the levels including city county and state We held cam- paigns debates delegation conventions, party caucases and elections lnpour debates we discussed such important and controversial issues as re apportionment of New York, and civil rights. Also to help us to better understand our government we had many guest speakers. Some of the more important were such men as Congressman Stratton, Assemblyman Tyler, and the Honorable Boyd Bolder, mayor of Utica. OUR URAGUAYAN Mavourneen Ellis HERE'S TO SUSETTE A graduate of an all-girls' school, Susette welcomed the chance to become better acquainted with American life. She found that our curriculum isn't too different from Austral1a's, but she did discover that life in a pub- lic school is rather different. Susette plans to enter the 'University of Australia to study education. The friendliness and cooperation displayed by Susette during her stay made her a very welcome addi- tion to the school and to the community. She adapted easily to life in a small townfand subsequently worked her way into all our hearts. B-Li was very lucky to have had such a wonderful person and excellent representative from Australia y ., 'F' it Is. -E MKS N-xii -ARM

ECHO YEAPBOOIG EDITOIZ Everyone's happy-go-lucky friend, Chick Darling, is one of the most dependable seniors B-G has ever known. If you would like to know who the chief engineer was who directed and put together this fine Echo . . . it was none other than our Mr. Darling. Chick spent hours of planning and organizing as editor of the '65 yearbook. He stayed always calm but made sure that every deadline was met. I'm sure B-G must agree that one of Chick's greatest contributions to our school has been his keen sense of humor throughout the years. His eagerness to learn and assist have been shown predominantly in many fields. He has been a member of band, chorus, vocal ensemble, orchestrag also College Prep English class, Blue and White Staff and Student Council. As editor of the 1965 Echo he has reached success for himself, his staff and his class. PHILLIP DARLING QENIOI-2.9 WI-I0 LEAD TI-IEIRJ Cl-A99 camera C!-ASQ PRESIDENT Ian is a friendly, versatile person, with a seemingly unlimited energy for useful activities. Always reliable, she has proven herself capable in many areas of service. . Last year, she served as class secretary, this year as its able President. Her inspiration has given various class committees a needed boost. In service to the school, Jan is equally outstanding. Student Council can claim her, and the school chapter of the National Honor Society knows her better as President. 'She also wields a literary pen toward the creation of the 1965 Echo, Jan graces virtually all school music organizations and throws herself whole- heartedly into girls' sports intramurals. Thus, the class of 1965 proudly presents Jan Green, toward a better world JANETTE GREEN of tomorrow. STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT lf you want a job well done, give it to the busiest person you know. This well-known cliche describes Kathy Lewis perfectly. She is a member of the National Honor Society. She has consistently participated in all the major girls' sports. For three straight years she has won the Girls' Sports Award. Under her administrations as vice-president and president of student council, the Council has made great progress. In her junior year, she attended the National Student Council Leader- ship Conference in Bangor, Maine, Besides many other responsibilities, too numerous for our space, Kathy has also found time to serve on the Blue and White staff and to function as the business manager of the Echo. A We expect to hear great things from her in the future - first woman President, perhaps? KATHY LEWIS
