Looking at our high school experiences In retrospect, we find many questions unanswered. For example, what has paved our way to this point? No doubt, our persevering spirit provides part of the answer, for Webster defines spirit as courage and enthusi- asm ... Throughout our years at General Douglas MacArthur High School, we have had many ups and downs. In all situations, however, we have attempted to use the courage and enthusiasm necessary to our success. We have tried, for instance, to help our peers to the best of our ability. Our efforts have been fruitful in our class work, our extracurricular activities, and our com- munity endeavors. Thus we have contributed to The Spirit of 1966. There is more to our story, however, than we have told above. Obviously, our friends, parents and teach- ers have contributed their share to our success. They were always available when we had to face obstacles and vicissitudes, and then they helped us to mitigate or to solve our difficulties. And here again, we availed ourselves of all the opportunities opened to us, which, in turn, made us a better part of The Spirit of 1966 . Finally, one other factor must be mentioned here: our environment or surroundings. Our community, both in our school and outside of it, has been significant in our academic life. The teachers at MacArthur and the citizens of Levittown have created the mood conducive to our progress, and thus they too have left their mark in our happy lives. As may be observed, therefore, we were never alone in our endeavors. Many individuals and circumstances played an important role. Thus we were made a part of The Spirit of 1966 .
