In between the applause of the fall play came hours of study, a hurried search for resource materials, an anxious moment before a test. The days passed and somehow time was found for an hour, in the Art room and a hopeful moment watching a basketball game. As the school year progressed, new friends are made and old acquaintances are renewed, behind the stage during rehearsal of a play and over the shoulder of an aspiring artist. And then, apart from the crowd once more, the lone student seeks the isolation and comfort of an empty corner in the library or the lonely radiator in the hall at 4:30 on a school night. A year of mature concern for the future and a development of the background in politics and student government, so necessary to success in life after graduation; 1966-67 was all these things and more.
