1965 ANNUAL FAREWELL In September of 1959, a rather large group of rather small boys gathered on the front steps of the Gilman School. This meeting marked the first day of Gilmanis Class of 1965. To most of us, that first day was an awe-inspiring occasion. Our Sixth Form advisors, the members of the faculty, even other First Formers seemed somehow bigger than life. The school itself was so huge; how would we ever fit in? On that day began for us a period of change and growth which might well be called The Gilman School Experience. The change has occurred in our character and outlook; the growth has been not only physical, but spiritual, intellectual, and moral as well. That growth has been brought about by the continual challenge of the Gilman com- munity. The demanding curriculum made it our responsibility to acquire knowledge and understanding of the courses we chose to pursue, while certain required courses enriched us in areas which we might not have investigated on our own. Thus it was that we learned to make a precis of a Brahms symphony, and to tell the differ- ence between a painting by Raphael and one by Botticelli. All of us took at least one lab-science, and some helped in the moving of equipment from the main building to the new science building. We were the first class to enjoy the use of the expanded library facilities for work on the innumer- able book reports and maps for American history. All of the schools courses con- tributed towards instilling in us the in- tangibles of true education: a sense of personal honor and an insatiable desire for knowledge. Not only in academics, but also in athletics, we have learned to accept re- sponsibility and to confront our challenges with conviction and confidence. At the 13 Varsity level, the teams have prospered, while continuing excellence has been the watchword for all the Gilman squads. After our years at Gilman, none of us will forget the importance of physical fitness to the well-being of the whole person, nor will the frequent examples of leadership and good sportsmanship shown in athletics go unheeded. We have also spent well our time not devoted to studies or athletics. Recent pro- ductions of the Dramatic Association have met with great success, as have joint meet- ings with other schools of the Political and Literary Clubs. The Circus has con- tinued to be an important factor in the expansion, and improvement of the school. Through these and other activities, we have been given a chance to develop our interest, skills, and knowledge of special- ized fields; this development will serve us well in the coming years. The Class of 1965 can claim a number of accomplishments, including the successful commencement of the J ohns Hopkins Hos- pital Volunteer project and the starting of a tutorial plan to contribute to the educa- tion of less privileged students. Yet these are small repayment to the school for what it has meant to us, for it has com- prised much of our life during the past six years. We have come a long way in these six years, and now, as we recall Little League Football, Time Tests, S.A.T3s, and Sixth Form Speeches, we look forward with the confidence and the strength in- stilled in us by our years at Gilman. Though we are no longer students at Gilman, the ideas and ideals which were made a part of us here will never cease to affect and guide our lives, and we will always be known as the men of the Class of 1965.
