THE MARK QF A SENIOR . The class ring is the mark of acheivement-the mark of the Senior. The ring represents the unification of the class of Nineteen-hundred and sixty-six. It seems only fitting that this symbol of success should be blessed by God. Therefore on October 9, 1965, the Senior Class as agroup, complete in itself, was seen for the first time on Ring Day. The rings were blessed directly after Mass. The Seniors then proceeded to the Cafeteria for a brunch presented by the Sophomores. The remainder of the afternoon was spent at Francis Park on a picnic. The emerald stone and gold insignia will represent the faith and truth encountered by the student during his years at Gabriels. The graduate carries forth these Christian concepts into the college union, the business office or the home. Amidst the mo- ments during the morning ceremony and the boisterous activities at the park-somewhere-each Senior paused to consider all of this and more. The mark of the Senior extends throughout life. Michael Mitchell Steven Hess Margaret Chapman Andrew Meade Jerry Hayes and Mike Bebee here represent the senior class, receiving their rings at the hands of Gabriels' chaplain Father Sears. The occasion was a memorable one for all. Barbara Fleming Michael Trierweiler

K A 'Today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. The Senior class strives to achieve the art of living in the present. They assume the role of leadership in the school each day as the opportunity presents itself- in the cafeteria, the classroom, the chapel. When one becomes a senior, and the realization of a last year becomes vivid, each individual becomes a very special, unique, friend. Even the word 'friend' becomes thought-provoking. One walks into a class- room, looks at a friend, . . . in two years, she may be a mother. . . '. . . next July he may be in Viet Name. . . They are sobering thoughts for the being who is pulled into the uncertanity of adulthood from the security of childhood. But it's not all sad, the ski trip, football games, Ring Day, tobaggan parties, basketball games allpro- vided a beautiful atmosphere for fun. We do have our serious side-ask Mike Mitchell at exam time. Every senior works his hardest to be accepted at the college of his choice, ours ranged from Boston Univ. to U.C.L.A. The class of '66 has left it's mark in this school, an undefeated football season, a fabulous basketball history, a high state ranking in debate and many others. . . and we do promise to live up to our high estimation of ourselves as graduates of this school forever and ever.
