jCettex 3xom DPis. Lj3%Ln.cLfia[ Mr. Caswell E. MacGregor c (? aM o ' 965: As your teachers and helpers we have striven through the years to give you the qualities and concepts which will nourish the full and good meaning of your lives. What you do in the future will be the meaning of our success. We hope that you will remember us. In all our classes we have tried to teach you to stand firm and confident in times when standards waver and when our democracy is endangered by indifference. We would like to learn that, you place beliefs in what is right above success and security, and initiative above comfortable recognition. More than ever before in our history you must realize that the survival of our way of life is founded on reason and truth not force and deception. If you are one of the majority, have the patience and tolerance to live reasonably with the minority. Be a man of sound convictions who is willing to listen and hear intelligently. There will be days fraught with difficulty in many forms. They do not occur by chance; they exist to teach us that the essence of the good life must be earned and cannot be given. We sincerely wish you sound health and satisfaction, and thank you for all you have done for us. Sincerely yours, a $. r Mac ' fji } 4 10 )

Imbued with drive and fine team spirit every player worked hard through the season. Defen¬ sively the team was outstanding, but offensively it lacked the effective scoring punch that could have created a brilliant record. The games with the Navy Plebes, West Chester, George School, and West Catholic were excit¬ ing and memorable. The team was honored by the selection of George Claxton, co-captain, as a member of the All-City Soccer Squad. Bill VanBuskirk and Ron Graves were chosen for honorable mention on the same squad. The squad is grateful to Coach Wolstenholme for the spirit that his coaching created in us and for the improvement in our abilities. He never let us give up. We are also appreciative of the dili¬ gent devotion of our manager Don Carlson.
