XIMENA LUISA LOBATO C. The world is so full of a number of things I ' m sure we all could be as happy as kings. Ximena, our foreign exchange student from Chile, has been a very special member of the class. With her expressive, and often humorous English, she has managed to brighten all of our days. She possesses an unbelievable amount of happiness which, combined with her flamboyant personality, has made her loved throughout the school. Ximena has been an honorary member of Aquilifer, French Club, and Spanish Club. Enthusiastic about every¬ thing, she was also a Rebel Rouser. SHARON LUCILLE JONES That virtue only is our bliss below, And all our knowledge is ourselves to know. Sharon joined us in 1962. Since then she has been one of our greatest achievers, quietly but distinctly leaving her impression permanently on our class ' record. Anytime there has been scholas¬ tic competition, Sharon has always been among the finalists. Excellence, cheerfulness, and con¬ tinual presence of mind characterize Sharon Jones. She has never been known to do anything unless it was to the utmost of her ability. JAMES HUNTER MARTIN III The whole life of man is but a point of time; let us enjoy it, therefore, while it lasts, and not spend it to no purpose. Hunter has been a member of the class since 1960, and has been a widely respected leader. As President of the Student Council, he has been noted for substantial innovations and beneficial accom¬ plishments. Hunter has been President of the Boos¬ ter Club and an Honor Council member. A serious scholar, Hunter has also been an important member of the football, wrestling, and track teams. Al¬ though he has never been without some responsibility to fulfill, Hunter can always be counted on for a spark of humor.

JAMES SCOTT HUNTER No people at all, not even ourselves, is entirely our friend. A Rebel from way back, Scott came to Coun¬ try Day in the fifth grade. An outstanding mem¬ ber of the class, he is talented athletically, aca¬ demically, and artistically. Scott has been a leader in many areas of school life including Post Script Editor, Monogram Club President, and cap¬ tain of the football and wrestling teams.

RAY NILSON MITCHELL I smell a rat. Ray has been agile both on the basketball court and in the classroom. In his seven years at Country Day he has been a member of the French, Latin, and Monogram Clubs. Ray has been found to be an interested listener whose subtle humor has added liveliness to any conversation. Besides bas¬ ketball, Ray has also participated in baseball and football and was a Co-Captain of the soccer team. An adept science and math scholar, Ray has been among the elite in these areas while maintaining a seemingly carefree attitude. SALLY ANN MacLAUGHLIN I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart ' s affection and the truth of the imagination. That crazy kid with the beautiful hair has been one of our class’s most dedicated workers. She was one of the creators of Country Day ' s first literary magazines, The Literary Review, and as its Co- Editor for the past two years, she has helped it grow into a periodical widely respected among private schools. Sam ' s talents have included art and music; and her vitality has sparked Aquilifer, French and Latin Clubs, Student Council, and Monitor . She has stood out in the class for her verve and in¬ dividuality. ESTHER EMILY McARVER Without a breeze, without a tide, she steadies with upright keel. A beautiful as well as constructive addition to the Class of 1968, Emily has been with us for two years. She has become a friend to all, a pleasure to be with, and a welcome addition in¬ deed. Numbered among her many accomplishments are membership in the Spanish and Spirit Clubs, and the Community and World Service Organiza¬ tion. Although she has been a serious worker, her riotious sense of humor has been difficult to hide, as evidenced by her vibrant laughter and sparkling eyes. Emily has demonstrated her spirit and en¬ thusiasm in everything she has undertaken.
