CLASSES The school year that is about to close has been marked by many unusual, as well as successful, undertakings and programs by all four classes. Traditionally, the Senior Class has played a major role in the planning and production of many of these activities. Starting with the opening of school last September when they acted as Big Brothers and Sisters, so ably and patiently assisting entering Fresh- men by answering their many questions, they have con- sistently taken the lead and set the standards that have be- come the accepted pattern of school life of all worthy Prexies. The members of the Junior Class have, likewise, proven themselves to be an outstanding, as well as responsible, group. Trips are always a real test of the maturity of any class. The annual class trip of the Juniors was a resound- ing success and everyone had a marvelous time. As this class takes the place of our Seniors we are assured of big things from them in the year ahead. Working in close harmony with their sponsors, the Sophomore Class probably exhibited the most class spirit of all. Their Food Dance at Thanksgiving time was a high spot of their program. They not only derived much enjoyment from it; but also contributed much to making the season happier for many needy families in the com- munity. Challenged by the many frustrations and, seemingly, endless details involved in becoming acquainted with the program in a new-school setting, the Freshmen Class pre- sented a harried and bedraggled appearance as they struggled to make the adjustment last September to the more sophisticated environment of high school. As usual, the crisis passed and the annual miracle took place. Our Freshmen have survived the ordeal and have become full-fledged Prexies. They have carried out their class activities, under the guidance of their sponsors and of- ficers, in a very creditable fashion. To be sure, the four classes that make up our school do operate independently. However, we never lose sight of the fact that we, by playing our role and contributing our small part, are not only enriching our own lives; but also are carrying on the fine customs and traditions of our great school. 23

SENIOR STATISTICS VERIFY THE OUTSTANDING SENIORS ARE ACTIVE IN BOTH ACADEMICS AND ACTIVITIES DAVID DIXON President DALE MORRIS Vice-President SUZANNE OTWELL Secretary SENIOR SPONSORS — Front Row: Mrs. Houchins, Mr. Ford, Mr. Hillman. Second Row: Mr. Gregory, Mr. Lindsay, Mr. Kapriva. With three years completed, the Senior Class en- tered school last September with confidence. As Fresh- men, we entered George Washington High School with a feeling of mingled anxiety and fear of the years ahead. As our Sophomore year began, we, for the first time, felt that we were really a part of the school. We spon- sored the annual Food Dance at Thanksgiving, the Toy Dance just before Christmas vacation, and the Bunny Hop at Easter time. The biggest occasion of our Junior year was the class trip to Jamestown and Williamsburg. With Mrs. Meadows and Mrs. Snider as chaperones, we spent two memorable days touring historical spots in these famous cities. Another highlight of the year w r as the arrival of our class rings. The climax of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom, held in the gymnasium. The first problem of our Senior year was becoming familiar with the revised class schedule that was put in use. As Big Sisters and Brothers, ours was the duty to assist new Freshmen in becoming acquainted with school at the opening last September. In October, two Seniors, Bob Barnard and Julie Means, were selected to represent G. W. on the television program It’s Academic”. Last December we took our College Board examinations. For some of us, this was an attempt to raise our previous scores; for others, this w as the first experience in apprais- ing our college potential. Senior Day, with its usual ridiculous costumes, was also in December. Near the end of the year, we presented our Class Play. This was followed by our Senior Prom. The Class also made the traditional trip to New York and the World’s Fair. The highlight of the year, and the climax of our years together w r as graduation day when w ' e received our diplomas. To the many wonderful teachers who have devoted their time and ablities to our education we, the Seniors of 1965, express our appreciation and hopes that their belief in us will be rewarded in the years ahead. In some ways, our graduation will be a beginning, in other ways, it is an end. Suzanne Otwell works as Dale Morris and David Dixon add their advice. 24
