X X ADMINISTRATION HE close of a school year and the close of a school ex- perience with its subsequent graduation always give pause for thought and reflection. Memories of those eventful years while one moves toward maturity help to frame the future. The satisfaction of watching this class which for three years has grown so well in stature has been great. Each of the three years and, naturally, in the last one, the offerings from many of the class to the good name and progress of the school have been many. More often than one would believe, members of the class have brought praise to themselvs and thusly to the school from both organizations and individuals whose observations of successful and worthwhile student activity have urged them to communicate their pleasure and appreciation. For all of these gestures on the part of the Class of 1964, the faculty and I are very grateful. Such gives us the desire and the motivation to go on in assisting students develop to their highest potential. The years ahead may be difficult but I am confident of your ability to meet them with strength and courage.

RUEL E. TUCKER CHARLES A. MAIER Arrirfmzl P1'i11fi,1Ml HE editors of the Viiffz have once more given me an opportunity to write a few words to the student body. Be- fore doing this, I would like to express my appreciation to all those who have worked so hard to produce this book which records the highlights of the school year. The production of a book of this type makes it necessary for all working on it to make every effort to get along not only with their fellow workers but with many students and faculty members as well. One of the things that all of us must learn is how to do this, It is my hope that you have availed yourself of the opportunities provided for you through the extra-curricular program to improve your ability to get along with others. My congratulations go to the Class of 1964 for their many achievements. It is my wish that they will be successful in all that they plan for their future. MR. CHARLES A. MAIER S

Give me the third person plural, pluperfect passive of ducoi' reeled out at them every Friday. But after the initial weeks of drill, her formidable mien disappears. Then she becomes our favorite Latin teacher, as she humanizes the Ancients or searches to find the grain of truth around which a myth has been fabricated. Her influence does not end with Cicerols ora- tions or 3Virgil's pastorals. She frequently takes her Latin IV classes to the theater or the opera, has her jfuniors write to colleges, and interests her students in archaeology to the point where they have gathered a fine collection of Roman nails and a lyre for her. Her love of logical argument led her to be a sponsor of the Debate Club. In these many ways a strong bond is formed between her and her students, many of whom even after years in college, come back to visit her. In the minds of those influenced by Mrs. Seligson, Latin is a labor of love, and so is living. To her we dedicate Vim: 1964. I
