PREFACE On graduation day you receive your high school diploma as record of successfully completing the past four years of your education. Although this certificate is a true accomplishment academically, it also holds the memories of your high school career. With this idea in mind and the fact that this past September of 1966 marked the fortieth anniversary of the opening of Bulkeley in 1926, the editorial board of the 1967 MAPLE LEAVES chose as this year ' s classbook theme Tradition . Bulkeley ' s tradition, rich in prosperity, is one thing of which all loyal Bulkeley students should be proud. From the time we enter Bulkeley as freshman until the time we leave as young men and women, we are conscious of Bulkeley Tradition and well we should be. By using tradition as our theme, we trust that we have retained for you a few of those precious memories. We hope that the section dividers will touch upon your ideas of tradition, that the social section will remind you of those wonderful evenings with that special someone and that the sports and clubs sections will restore the fun out of the classroom as well as in. It takes many people in an expensive publication such as the MAPLE LEAVES. At this time I would like to take the opportunity to extend our deepest gratitude and thanks to Delmar Printing Company, who arranged and published our book; to Mr. Paul Nelson, our local Delmar representative; to Loring Studios for the excellent pictorial coverage; to our two invaluable faculty advisors, Miss Rita B. Antaya and Mrs. Jean S. Doerschuck, for their guidance and advice throughout the year; to our art editor, Joanne Stanavige, for contributing her superb talents; to the typists for their time and assistance; and finally to Mr. Frederick T. Bashour, our principal, for his cooperation, encouragement and advice. Richard Aram Arzoomanian Editor 2

Astronauts Grissom, White, and Chaffee Since the beginning of the Space Age in 1956, the U. S. has made giant strides in space exploration. The U. S. has successfully completed sixteen manned space flights with relatively few mishaps. Because of the con¬ tinued good luck on our space flights, the American people began to expect the safety of our astronauts. Because of this public con¬ fidence, the tragedy that occurred on Jan¬ uary 27, 1967 at 6:31 P.M. was a rude awake¬ ning for the American People. In a simulated launch, three astronauts were awaiting final countdown when a fire suddenly started. The fire swept thru the cabin of the capsule with such terrifying speed that any escape attempt was futile. This tragic accident snuffed out the lives of three brave men, Lt. Col. Edward White, 36, Lt. Col. Virgil Grissom, 40, and Lt. Commander Roger Chaffee, 31. The long-settled fears of an over confident public were drastically realized. The supreme sacrifice of these men should not be a black mark on American history. The tragedy of their deaths should serve as a stimulant to American achievements in space and also as a reminder of the dedication and service of our citizens for the United States. 3
