CLASS OF ’66 HAS ABILITY FOR LEADERSHIP PUNKY WOOLLUM President JEANETTE RICE Vice-President DIANNA CWIN Secretary ACADEMICS AND ACTIVITIES OCCUPY THE SENIORS' TIME The beginning of the high school career four years ago was an important event in the lives of our 1966 graduates. Even though few people could feel strange in a school so much a part of the community as GW, this class still had to overcome the usual problems of floundering Freshmen. They accepted that first frightful year as a time for orientation, learning of traditions, and selection of the curriculum. As sophisticated Sophomores, they conducted benefit dances and continued in their academics and other activities. Proving to the judicious Juniors, the class overcame some early financial difficulties by sponsoring a car wash and several more dances, including the Junior-Senior Prom. They later sent representatives to Boys’ and Girls’ State. During their final year of high school, as in the preceding three, our superior Seniors have shown themselves to bo outstanding students and citizens. They started with a Big Brother and Big Sister program for assisting the Freshmen. Through class meetings, wise plans were made for the rest of the year. After tactfully defeating a controversial plan to revise Senior Day, they made that occasion a great success. The class provided candidates for the team appearing on the television show “It’s Academic.” Then some of the Seniors sweated through college board exams. The trip to New York, the Senior Play; and the Senior Prom were highlights of this memorable year, which culminated in the June commencement of the Class of 1966. 28
