spring ’66 Spring has sprung — Spring ’66, that is! Since February deadlines make it impossible to include many memorable Spring events of 1966 in the CAVALIER, it is necessary to add a postscript to the 1967 edition. The first signs of Spring are reflected by Eddie Calderon who pauses for a drink of cool, cool water in a lazy, lazy mood (opposite page, top). Mary Ann Perkins (opposite, bottom) seemed to be quite happy with the idea of employing Frank Strickler to do her annual spring cleaning. The spring musical (opposite, top) “Check Your Worries” gave many CW stu- dents a chance to exhibit their talent on the stage. Spring also brought with it the Junior Variety Show which is presented in order to raise money for the Junior-Senior banquet. Dirk Lea’s unforgettable comedy rou- tine (left), which was presented for the second consecutive year, along with many other talent-filled pres- entations, gave a “money’s worth” satisfaction to a full-house audience. As the big day for last year’s Seniors drew nearer, it found the eleven Junior Marshals elected by the Sen- ior class preparing for graduation- day activities (opposite, bottom): A. B. Motley, Leslie Waugh, Jerry Marsella, Susan Wiseman, Lockie Roach, Gene Maurakis, Paul Siddle, Eddie Barrick, Nancy Jarvis, Nancy Fitzgerald and Martha Viccellio. ! 19

Summer School Activities Slow Greatly Heat Increases “School’s out, summer’s here!” So saying, GWites scat- tered in every direction. Summer was a time of varied activities, with many making their way to summer sehool. At 8:15 every morning (instead of 9:05, as customary), students — facing a hard day of studying — took their places in the already “scorching” classrooms and settled down to work. During lunch (left) the back campus was usually filled with students getting a few minutes of rest under the warm summer sun before resuming classes. While other students were enjoying a quiet lunch period, an enthusiastic game of tennis — being played on one of the four new GW tennis courts — caught Beverley Gosney’s attention (opposite page; top). For an unusual summer, Wayne Owen, Vickie Bowman, Eddie Barrick and Leslie Waugh (opposite page, bottom) were chosen to represent GW at Girls’ and Boys’ State. The boys spent a week at tbe Gollege of William and Mary, while the girls spent their week at Radford. A model government was set up on each campus. During her stay, Vickie was elected to Girls’ Nation, the first person from GW to win this honor, and journeyed to Washington, D. G., for a week to repre- sent Virginia. As summer drew to a close, members of the band and Kiltie Korps (top), Gheerleaders, and football players started back to school early. And so . . . summer progressed into fall. 20
