In September of 1968, fifty-six Seniors returned from summer vacation eager to live in the building reputed to be the end result of of our ten years at Girard. We had very little difficulty adjusting to the thrice-weekly breakfasts and 1 A. M. bedtimes. We also found that there was never a dull moment in Hotel Allen. If it wasn’t the Wolf’s Den or the Group A locals, it was something inside the hall, such as the removal of part of a room or the local hippie community doing their thing. The intramural scene was also lively, as the AHIC (Allen Hall Insomniacs Club) and the FBI (Farber Bureau of Investigation) fought desperately on opposite sides of the cause of law and order. When there was nothing else happening, a telethon was usually being held on the first floor as the Hummers and the local females talked in four -hour shifts throughout the night. There were also trials and tribulations during the year, as many nights of the Open Door Policy, also known as the Instant Wind Tunnel, were ended by new rules formalizing what had been a long-standing practice. Founder’s Day, in typical Girard custom, was pre¬ pared for months in advance. This did not give us much time to work on our greatest literary achieve¬ ment—the Term Report. Three weeks, but it seemed as if we belonged here forever. Some of us had been here a long time. Most of us were glad to be gradu¬ ating. As we passed down the Chapel aisle and sang the farewell song, we knew we were saying farewell not only to a school, but to a way of life, one that we knew would form a precious, irreplacable part of our future lives. -128 y

Love The Girardian, 1968-69, was destined to be a success from the beginning, as it received unusual enthusiasm from most of the Student Body. Though the Class of 1968 failed to get an edition of the literary magazine to the presses, it did provide several outstanding articles for this year’s magazine. With this start and much work, a forty-page edition of The Girardian was able to reach the students. Special thanks must go to Richard Dundon, the magazine’s printing advisor, for his patience and devotion; without his help such a publication would not have been possible. The Girardian , 1968-69, was strikingly different in every respect. The cover design, con¬ tributed by John Ferry, was as unusual and exciting as the magazine itself. Keeping within the idea of a dynamic theme, the inside pages contained several full-page photographs and illus¬ trations. These innovations to the literary magazine sarved to relay to the reader, at his first glance, the difference in this year’s edition of the Girardian. Articles were submitted by almost every class in the High School as well as the lower grades. The form and subject content of the writings were equally diversified, for every area of the students’ interests was represented by either a poem, short story, or essay. Political essays had authors coming from both ends of the political spectrum. Styles of poetry ranged from conventional, to modern, to almost revolu¬ tionary. Because of this variety in style and subject matter, this year’s magazine provided something of interest for every reader. This year’s literary magazine, along with its new new staff, also enlisted the aid of a new faculty advisor, Mr. Andrew McCaffrey. { 27 1
