Perspective Rushing . . . rambling . . . roaring but steadily flowing, the river curves and sways around bends, while students endlessly pour into and out of GW’s crowded corridors. As spring rains swell the river, so do continuing streams — made up of classes and more classes, memorable social events, term papers, election cam- paigns, picnics, exams and the excitement of gradu- ation — fill and augment the academic situation. Spring ’67 thus is more than a page torn from the calendar. The warp and woop of ’68 find a basis in the memorable events of spring days. Summer follows . . . and with it relaxation . . . work . . . mental stimulation. The lazy movement of the river typifies the thoughts of the daydreamers, the carefully measured concept development of the student in summer school. With the river back in its regular course in the fall, so life at GW returns to routine. Students prepare for the year ahead with renewed zest. Water fills and enriches a river; students compose and activate a school. GW-ites . . . individualists . . . thinkers . . . workers . . . leaders and followers ... all contribute to the GW of which Danville is justly proud.

SPRING ’67 PBLUEBLUEBLUEBLME LUEBLUEBL PARTYING JUNIORS AND Seniors pass along the morsel- filled table satisfying their hunger. WEARY STUDENTS WHO ride the bus often feel it would be better to get out and push rather than fight for a seat. Note the efforts of Brenda Lewis (left) and Linda Beaver. Gently sloping hills of bluegreen grass, sprinkled with dandelions . . . dreamy-eyed students lazily shifting along . . . sunshine streaming into classrooms . . . lunchers lounging Pn the Christopher Lane campus . . . It’s spring, spring, spring at GW! And, of course, there is the Blue of remembrance! Spring ’67 is an important beginning to Senior book of memories. Food and fun, fun and food — there is plenty of both as upperclassmen attend the Junior-Senior banquet. Peals of laughter echo when the Sophomore Waiters and Wait- resses present a hilarious skit, a modern interpretation of fairy tales. Junior Marshals proudly lead Senior Class members to their seats on Class Day. In true empathy, juniors, as third-year students of a Great GW, share the feeling of the upper, upperclassmen — sadness in leaving, pleasure in reminiscing, and anticipation in the challenge of the future. Shiny eyes glitter with tears as the robe-clad Seniors get diplomas. AMONG THE HIGHLIGHTS (below) of Spring 67 was the arrival of CAVALIER 67 with its pictorial record of all the ‘ ' greats. Miss Josephine Estes, business staff advisor, was literally into boxes and paper “up to the neck in an effort to quickly satisfy the curious, waiting subscribers. □ 8
