Class of 1972 President of The FREDERICK DASHIELL Senior Class President In the Grace of God shall you map your life. —Cornelia Dashiell— As President of the Senior Class of 1972, I would like to use this opportunity to reminisce about the history of our class and to hopefully stimulate deeper thoughts of the future. I remember how in our Sophomore year, we began to accept academic, admin- istrative, and athletic responsibilities,— and all in the name of Sophomore Power. And how during our Junior year we moved into a year of crisis, a year in which the English tradition once again demonstrated its unique ability to respond to the needs of a changing student body and to develop that traditionally progressive and productive school atmosphere. Now that we have neared the end of this year, our final class year, I can see how we began the year so overwhelmed with our newly created atmosphere. How the school as in unity combated its opponents, rejected its defeats, and depressed its frustrations. How our class unselfishly directed its abilities to the securing of a new edifice for those to follow us. In the Grace of God, we have and we shall map our lives . This, I feel, is a perfect summation of our class history. For a Class that has moved so unselfishly toward improving themselves and those around them must be moving in the grace of God. I wish to thank you for permitting me to serve as your Head Representative and I would like to say that this position has been, and will be, an accomplishment that I shall always cherish. In conclusion, I would like to strongly urge my class to live up to their des- tiny,— a future full of success and great accomplishments as is The English High School tradition. 28
