SCIENCE The faculty at Country Day are scholars. But they are also interested in scores of unscholarly things which are too numerous to ever be men- tioned in the classroom or in the ARCHIVE. But it is necessary to realize that the man behind the desk is, as well as a part of the faculty of the Cincinnati Country Day School, a part of the world and a well rounded individual -in other words-wa fine example for the young, searching mind of the Country Day Student.

The Class of 1965 has added greatly to school IE-fe in its years at Country Day. Not only was it one of the largest graduating classes in the history of the school, but it was also one of the most diversified classes. As a matter of fact, one distinctive characteristic of the senior class was the nurniber of groups of seniors within the class, each with its own interests. These various grounp interests help to reveal some art the spirit of the Class of '65. Probably the most controversial group, it one could call it a group, was The- Mystics. Accord- ing to one spokesman of the groutp, the purpose of the Mystics was to stimulate people into higher mental and imaginative realities. One could almost always find some deep philowp-h- ical thought of theirs on one of the school black- boards. The Mystics added greatly to the brain power of the class. A second group of seniors valiantly held up the cultural end of the class, Some award-win- ning paintings were done in art class while the keyboard tpounders continued their work at the piano. The staunch Gamlbolier supporters in the senior class helped tor maybe hinderedt the glee clu'b through another year. As a matter of fact, a few seniors managed successfully to break up a few practices with their spasms OFF hysterics. The giggling craze even spreadtto the D. Q. But on the whole the seniors held up their end of the fob. A number of seniors also kept Up the class's reputation in athletics. Every senior from bench- boy to captain did- :his part in making this year's sports season euccesstul and rewarding. Besides athletics the seniors participated in the many extra-curricular activities and showed their lead- ership on The Scroll, Archive, the Student Coun- cil, and other organizations. Out of school the senior class did not suffer for any lack of fastwmovers or steady deters. There were still the taithfuls ot the class who always had dates for the Saturday night frater- nity parties, Cars and girls still seemed to be pap- Ular topics of discussion around schools The seniors engaged in many other pastimes. There was the WSAI Club where a number of seniors spent their study hall time picking the top 10 for the week. One could often find the havm-operators huddled in a corner talking elec- tronics. We should never forget a few cliches around school made famous by seniors, such as the enigmatic What! Are you proud? or the name Be-te-Bete. On the whole the Class of 1965 was a notable group of students of widely varying interests. The friendships within the class have knitted the seniors closely together, They added m-uch color to school life and will be remembered by the school for many years to come. P. F. S. STEVEN ALEXANDER BLAIR Varsity Soccer 3, 4; Baseball Coach t5th and 61M 3, 4; It's Academic 3; Stage Crew 3. Blair has a flair for music. He plays all four pitches of recorder, the piano, the bass violin, once did a little drumming, and listens to much music on records. Unfortunately, his music can't follow him in all his pursuits, especially when he's SCUBA diving in the dark and grizzly depths. Steve sets aside some of this autumn free time for skeet, trap, and trap shooting. He's also a traditionalist, being the last student to con- tinue wearing heavy duty khaki pants. 26
