Text from Pages 1 - 192 of the 1969 volume:

Man is granted one luxury in life, the right to dream. As the present inevitably fades into the past and exists only in memory, the future evolves into tomorrow, a tomorrow that can be made beautiful by a dream that erases despair and replaces it with hope. Each person possesses tomorrow separately. To him it rep- resents something unique and totally individual. Yet, every- one’s dreams eventually intertwine and share in molding the future. These dreams provide the inspiration which is es- sential for fashioning a successful future, a promising to- morrow. The present dreams, constructed and molded today, are reflections of past experiences. Only by dreaming today can we hope for a peaceful tomorrow—a new tomorrow.

Coach Harvey discusses game strategy with Captain Rich Noel. A concerned Bunnell sideline intensely views the action on the field. Rich Noel breaks free for long yardage. FOOTBALL The 1968 season showed a marked improvement in the Bunnell foothall team. Coach Harvey’s Bulldogs finished with a 3-5 record, sixth in M.B.I.A.C. competition. The team’s three victories came over Harding, Bassick, and traditional rival Stratford. The Stratford game was won on a touchdown bomb from Senft to Donaher. An intense defense shut out the North Parader squad. The Fairfield Prep game, which saw Bunnell meeting the only undefeated M.B.I.A.C. competitor, was the year’s most exciting. Senior Tailback Rich Noel rushed for two long touchdowns and well over 150 yards. Smolen. Scheibel, Malok. and Schweitzer sparked a valiant defensive effort, which fell only six points short. Coach Harvey and his staff anticipate a fine record next year with the return of Tim Donaher, Jerry Stine, and Ray Scheibel. Tim Donaher follows a lead block around end. JUNIOR VARSITY: First Row: J.

The fine pitching staff was led by Tim Scheibel who twirled three fine shutouts, including a magnificent no- hitter against Notre Dame. Jim Crory turned in a fine, 4-hit, 1-0 shutout against Bassick.

Best Wishes To The Class Of ’69 181 Time passes, and after it follow new dreams and new hopes. The memory of yesterday lingers, but is gradually replaced by the expectations of tomorrow. The future, the image of a dream, succeeds the past and the sequence is continually repeated. The type of tomorrow that results is dependent upon the dream, which is, inevitably, dependent upon the man who dreams. 182 INDEX A Cap pel la Choir M6 Acknowledgements 184 Administration 6-7 Advertisements 158-180 American Field Service Club 114 Arista 145 Art Club 148 Art Department 20 Athletic Association 98 Baseball 152-153 Basketball 138-140 Bowling 141 Boys’ Sports Club 155 Business Department 16 Cheerleaders 92 Chess Club - 186 Concert Band 94 Christmas Cotillion 122-123 Cross Country 101-102 Custodian and Cafeteria 22 Debating Society 157 End of theme 182-183 English Department 10-11 Faculty Buffet 121 Foreign Language Department 12 Football 88-90 French Club 124 Freshman Gass Advisor, Council Officers 137 Future Business Leaders of America 115 Future Nurses of America 113 Future Teachers of America 112 German Club 125 Girls’ Leaders 154 Girls’ Sports Club 154 Goif i m Guidance 8 Home Economics Department 18 Industrial Art Department 19 Independent Study 119 Junior Class Advisor, Council, Officers 126 Junior Homerooms 127-133 Junior Ring Dance 134-135 Laurel Staff 108-109 Library 23 Library Club 116 Mathematics Department 14 Mixed Chorus 146 Music Department 21 National Honor Society 145 Office Staff 9 Piper Staff 148 Photography Club 117 Physical Education Department 17 Reading Laboratory 23 Sadie Hawkins Dance 147 Science Department 15 Scribe Staff 107 Senior Class Advisor, Council, Officers 26-27 Senior Dance 103 Senior Hat Dance 87 Senior Play 96-97 Seniors 24-83 Service Corps 116 Social Studies Department 13 Sophomore Class Advisor, Council, Officers 136 Spam.-h lull US Stage Crew 104 Steno Pool 117 Student Council 112 Swimming 142-143 Table of Contents 3 Thanksgiving ance 99 Theatre Arts 105 Theme 2 Thespians 106 Track 150-151 Traffic Squad 110 Twirlers 95 Ushers' Guild 93 Variety Show 102-103 Victory Carnival 91 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To the entire Frank Scott Bunnell High School administration and faculty, for their complete cooperation, enthusiastic support, and patient understanding, in the production of the 1969 Laurel.
