First Row, Left to Right: Mr. Perley Pease, Mrs. Perlcy Ptase, Dr. James White Second Row, Left to Right: Mr. Patrick Petrillo, Mr. Norman Sherman, Mr. Gregor Erdenberger, Dr. William Zeil. 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, I960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966. These dates will long be remembered as our years in the Hum. The troubles, joys, failures, and successes encountered throughout this span, cannot be forgotten. But the final touch to this good life was our Senior year. Who can forget the first night back and our first Senior Class party; the raucous and fishy tales brought back from the Senior’s favorite resort, Wildwood, New Jersey; the frequent visits to the A; the 1st floor musketeers; the shaving cream battles; the in-crowd;” the boys; and the out-crowd?” Odier unforgettable highlights were Babiak’s home movies, the Baron’s constant feud, and those quiet Saturday nights. But these enjoyable memories could not have come about were it not for the unceasing guidance and help of Dr. William Zeil, Dr. James White. Mr. and Mrs. Pearley Pease, Mr. Gregor Erdenberger, and Mr. Patrick Petrillo. Our big year is drawing to a close and, widi it, our lives at Girard. We, the class of 1966, have tried to live up to the expectations and responsibilities that only a Senior knows. Soon we will be on our own, in a world torn with strife, pestilence, and war. As we step out the gate and into the future, we will forget many things, but never will we forget our lives at Girard. i 25 }■

Without the contribution of the members of the Photography Club in time, energy, and the resulting production, there would be no Corinthian, and the News would be much less inter¬ esting. Their work has been invaluable, and certainly in rhe years to come these pictures will bring the Hum and our classmates clear in our minds. Our yearbook in almost unique in the fact that the writing, the photogaphy, the layout, and the printing are all done by yearbook staff members within the College. Certainly this is an accomplishment of which we can all be proud. The photography is, of course, no small part of this. The officers of the Club were: President, Thomas Stocker; Vice-President, Thomas Davies; Secretary Treasurer, James Gallagher. They developed a well organized activity and a new spirit of accomplishment which improved the reader’s interest in our publications. They have earned our praises. The Club, on behalf of the Class of ’66, sincerely thanks Mr. Perley Pease for the time and work he so generously gave to the members. His expert advice on many phases of photography has stimulated the work of this organization. This is an activity which becomes an increasing benefit to the members sand which will probably be carried ton through life. Shutterbugs are everywhere;at tevery age and the present Club members will always be among them.

In its illustrative material it also offers an opportunity for the exhibition of our artistic talents. In both areas of the 1965-1966 issue the imagination and ability of the contributors are com¬ mendable. Editor-in-Chief David E. Arinsberg was the focal point of this endeavor ably assisted by Thomas Davies and Morris Goldberg. The artistic talents of David A. Semple, Lester L. Smiejan Mario Maiale, and Domenic Mevoli under the guidance of Dr. William Zeil are evident and laudable in the illustrations. Creation of the layout and make-up work at the Print Shop was in the hands of Elmer Ingram, Howard Ryder, and Kenneth Jacobsen under the direction of Mr. Arnold Daffin. Mr. Patrick Brown, a new member of our English Department, who this year served as the sponsor, has contributed invaluable criticism and has been the source of motivation. Of the articles published Tom Bennett’s essay, Democracy, What It Means to Me,” and Joseph Di Pietro’s Shades of Salem, are excellent pieces of writing. The overall layout is both interesting and well done and a credit to our Print Shop students. To all of those who have been instrumental in the creation of this Girardian we offer our appreciation.
