Without doubt, the visiting group which received most attention in ' 66 was members of the Class of ' 69. Closing both eyes, they jumped into the college mainstream and made a sizeable splash in all phases of academic and social life.

Dean Bill Pugh in particular, along i with members of the Student Sched- f uling Council, Lou Dilts. chairman, i brought to campus a varied and highly acclaimed series of Fine Arts performers. Not least among the group was yachtsman, world travel- er and philanthropist, singer Glenn Yarbrough. who appeared here in March.

Kathy Sullivan, Merlene Orchard were radiant. Art lover Kelly Becker, above, top, delighted with a piece of sculpture, was doubly proud and elated because she was the artist. At bottom, E. T.
