ll In A GHS Year . . . During our '64 year we experienced sad as well as happy moments. The death of our President was a tragedy I am sure we will never forget. A year at CHS includes many activ- itiesg among them are sports events, club meetings, parties, and the daily routine of classes and homework. All' together, the year has been a good one -we studied, made friends, and had fun. This year, our assembly programs were held in the gym because we had outgrown the auditorium. Our enrollment this year was above the 1,100 mark which is more than the capacity of the auditorium.

A shot rang out, a body fell, and an old story came out of the well. I couldn't believe it, it wasn't true, That someone would blacken our red, white, My stomach achedg my tears they came as I quickly thought of my country's shame. Yet it was true, though it happened so quick And I wondered of Oswald, could he be sick' My heart went to Jackie, of her sorrow and 1 I wondered just how she would sustain. There was a ball game-a game I felt should I sat gazing but nothing could I see. There wasn't a dance, the voices were madg Why in the world couldn't they understand? The television I did watchg the paper I did rt As I viewed the casket of the man we all grie They took him to the White House where he lived and workedg And .lackie never left him, even with blood oi skirt.

She knelt at the head of her husband's grave, Lit the flame, and then she prayed. She went away with tears in her eyes, And her heart was aching deep down inside. Five times she went back, each time to prayg And never a word did anyone say. To Jackie so composed and good, You held your sorrow as only a great woman 1 From your finger you took your band, And silently placed it on his cold hand. But they gave it hackg it is yours to keep, What greater gift could a young woman seek? To Caroline so young and so brave, I hope you remember all your father gave. And .lohn John, what more can I sayg Except that I hope you grow up in the same g. We all will remember this wonderful mang Who can surpass him? I think no one can.

We studied, Senior Doug Blackport began a typical CHS year with a stack of homework. He seems to be asking himself, Where shall I start first? As the year began, we found ourselves behind the old familiar grind of homework with many students working hard for that extra A to be eligible for the honor roll. The 55 minutes in study hall and library never seemed to be ade- quate time to meet all the assignments for which GHS teach- ers are noted. In spite of the fact 'that homework came first, we also managed to find time for other activities. Games, school dances, club programs, and GYRAB were not ignored as we made new friends and renewed old acquaintances. Although we often complained about homework and never having enough time to do all the things we wanted to do, we will probably look back with loneliness some clay on the many things that we were privileged to do all in a Goshen High School year. made friends, When we think of Sunshine, we think of making friends and having fun. Various parties were held at the beginning of the year to help the new members get acquainted. Many things were gathered at the Sunshine scavenger hunt as shown by ftop rowl Sandy Sharpe, Nedra Brookmyer, Martha Plank, and .lean Redsecker, Chottom rowl Pam Beer, Kathy Kosnoff, Nancy Ray, and Rosemary McConnell.
