Faye Butler President H - 12 CLASS OFFICERS Edith Williams Vice-President Patti Weber Secretary For each of us, graduating from BHS, this will be a begin- ning to live. Our ambitions, dreams and creative ideas, formu- lated over the last three years are no longer fantasies of the mind, but are taking the form of reality — a reality in which we as individuals intend to live. We are embarking into a world waiting to challenge us and our ideas, to challenge us to survive, challenge us to live. These last three years of coexistence with our teachers, different types of people, and bizarre situations of BHS have prepared us for this challenge. The June class of 1966 will meet this challenge to live, with great determination. We as a class would like to thank Mr. Curtice, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Wilson, our sponsors, and every teacher at BHS for making our three years memorable ones. —FAYE BUTLER Linda Mapanao Treasurer Nancy Singer Social Secretary 20 H- 1 2 Class Council

IN MEMORIUM PAMELA PORTER Pamela Porter (1947-1966) Never ask for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. . — John Donne Miss Pamela Porter, a good Berkeley High School student, would have received her high school diploma this June. In spite of a long and continuous struggle against leukemia, Pamela nevertheless made the graduation list, completing all the subjects needed for graduation. Though stricken with leukemia, Pamela endured the suffering with courage. She kept to her studies, though health limited her potential working capacity. A home teacher assisted her in exploring the many glittering facets of life. Her tutored subjects included English, history, earth and life sciences, and arts and crafts. She had planned to be a Social Studies major. Pamela can be considered a humanitarian because she has willingly contributed time and effort for the Humane Society. She was able to get along well with people, especially when actively working in their behalf. Pamela had a lot of friends, says her home teacher, who, as a friend, knew Pamela well. Pamela was an industrious worker. Before her illness, she worked wholeheartedly as an Avon representative in order to earn extra spending money. Pamela now has left us, but many students will remember her brief, but meaningful, stay at Berkeley High School. Her departure is a sad event in many lives, but we can all feel secure in knowing that her long affliction has ended peacefully, without further pain or suffering.
