Christmas vacation was festive indeed, Lucy Frost, Pat johnson, Brookie Kirkland, Nancy Weeks, Sally O'Hara and Ellen Van Alstyne gave a gala party on December twenty-stcond to which the whole class and many under-classmen were invited. But upon returning to school we immediately found our S.A.T.'s looming one week later. Senior year we again worked hard from the academic' point of view. We were rounding out our college credits and it proved a never-encling task. The password of College, college, collegc ahead, echoed everywhere. Right after midyear examinations we had an exchange student, Diep from Vietnam, visiting us for ten days. Pat johnson was her hostess. Ap- pealing and vivacious, she taught us a great deal about her country and our world. The last stretch at Dwight beckoned and the months Hew by to the end. College Boards on March twelfth soon passed without any catas- trophe, and later we all heard from our respective college choices. May hfth, the clay of the Father- Daughter Dinner, arrived before we knew it. Mr. Gordon Gay served as toastmaster and the fathers gave a hilarious fashion show. It was our last Father-Daughter Dinner, but more fun than ever. Our traditional trek to jones Beach was a mem- orable event that followed. On Class Day we relincluished our proud senior seats in Study A to the incoming seniors, and hled onto the stage as future alumnae. At Banquet that night we realized fully that we were soon to leave. Then the following day Rev. james F. Martin spoke at our Baccalaureate service. The time was passing speedily. Monday, the thirteenth of june, our graduation took place at the First Presbyterian Church of Englewood. Rev. Howard Anderson gave the graduating ad- dress. Following Commencement the school enter- tained us, our relations, and guests at a luncheon party in Dwight House. Our eleven years as a class at Dwight School had come to a close,
