When a student enters Hillsdole for the first time, she notices that a certain announcement is posted at four corners or that friends meet at four corners after class. This is the intersection of HiHsdolels two main halls. From this point a girl may follow almost any corridor to find that there are many aspects of Hillsdale life. Students are on their own to investigate these hallways and to widen their intellectual, social, and physical capacities. The curriculum otters every activity from hockey and drama to chem- istry and the Pep Club. However, it is Up to each individual student to decide the amount of know- ledge or skill she wishes to have derived from these activities by the time she reaches the end of the hallway. Every girl may choose for her- selfself whether she is to join Ct club or which sub- iects she will take each year, once she has ex- perienced a variety of them in the seventh grade.

Dedication You have displayed the ideal faculty-student re- lationship throughout our six years together at Hills- daleeencourogement in both school and personal problems, excitement and originality in schoolwork, unporolled interest in each student, unlimited eFfort in helping her to strive for excellence in many areas. Moreover, it is with pride and admiration that we have watched you contribute these qualities not only to Our class, but to each student at Hillsdale. A keen interest in the subiect matter which you teach, combined with original presentation and a sense of humor which make your class a refuge from the pressures ot a schooldoy, has kindled cm enthus- iasm for the English language among your students. Aside from contributions in the classroom, you have guided girls in many extracurricular activities and clubs. You have taught us the meanings of admira- tion, of respect, and above all, of the consummate relationship which should exist between a student and herteocher. You welcomed our class to Hillsdale six years ago and it is again in our senior year that we occupy your classroom. As we seniors walk down the hallway of this school together for the lost time, we will each carry with us the principles which you, Georgian Koenitzer, have taught us. Faculty support of green-gold hockey games means a lot to the students. A genuine interest in her students increases their enthusiasm for the English language. Did you say you'd help us with our assignment? mv a wthw MW 4, w , w One Corridor Leads to Learning. The weH-prepored secondary school student can do excellent work for her college, her country, and herself in later years. Hillsdole girls are given this kind of preparation, not 0th in classes but also in the extru-curriculor activities which are planned to compiement her academic schedule. Within the past few years Hillsdoie has switched to on inter-deportmentol English program. In addition to the content of a history paper, students are graded on the expression and syntax in it. This year French and Spanish tables were arranged in the Iunchroom. The teacher and students at these tables could speak only the respective languages. The French and Spanish tables were just one ex- ample of the taculty-student relationship which exists here. Teachers take 0 special interest in the individuoi student's work. Especially in the younger grades, foc- ulty members try to cultivate a girils interests, The teacher may show 0 girl the hallway which will best develop her abilities, but it is Up to the student her- self to follow this corridor to the point where she achieves her ideals.

Patient Guidance Leads Us Have you ever stopped to think what Hlllsdole would be like without Mlss Brokaw and Mr. Lovett? They introduce new ideas and improvements to the school. Both welcome and talk with prospective stu- dents and their parents. Miss Brokaw greets the col- lege representatives and shows them around the school. Mr. Lovett and the Board of Trustees work together to set and carry out the policies of the school. He selects teachers who will arouse the intellectual cu- riosity ot the students, and who will contribute much to the student-foculty relationship so unique at Hllls- dale. In addition, he teaches two English classes, and advises the seniors. He also guides college applications. Miss Brokaw is in charge of the testing programs in the school. Also, every time we have a special event involving a schedule change, she must shuttle classes around until the day is rearranged to include every academic subiect for all slx grades. She is the class adviser for the luniors and helps each girl find a college suited to her interests and abilities. On top of all this, she Funds time to teach Latin. The Board of Trustees The Board of Trustees is on essential port of Hills- clole School and also of Lotspeich. It is the governing body, elected by the school corporation, and is com- posed of fourteen parents and alumni of the schools, who serve on rotating four year terms. The trustees constitute the only continuing body for representing the parents who can own the school. There are many matters which constantly keep them busy: the maintenance and operation of both schools, planning and directing any major improve- ments involving the school, and deciding the general area of curriculum and the general size of the facul- ties. They set the policies in all matters of both schools and make decisions on the budget and tuition fees. Any legal problems which pertain to either school are brought before this body. The board has carefully planned every addition and seen every detail through to the end. The con- cern for better education for their children and grandchildren makes the board a hordeorking and conscientious group who work enthusiastically on any proiect or problem. We cure grateful to the board for their time and energy spent on behalf of making Hillsdale a better, higher quality school. Miss BrokaWwassistanf head.

Mrs. Goodall ponders a busy day's schedule in The office, Miss Shoemaker checks a book out of the library for a student. and Learning An essential part of any school is a good library. At Hiiisdcle the iibrory provides most of the books the students use throughout the year. For those doing research in English, history, or science, there are num- erous reference books. Spanish and French students can find books in either language to read. There are also copies of French magazines. Entertaining books in the fiction section are ottered for girls in all grades. One new addition to the library is the shelf de- voted to paperback books. All college catalogues were moved to the library from the office this year. This not only gives Mrs. Brill and Mrs. Goodall more room in which to work, but is also more convenient for the students. Those who wish to brush up on current events may read The New York Times and the various maga- zines to which the school subscribes. Equally important to the school is 0 good librarian. Miss Shoemaker keeps the catalogue cards in order and up to date, checks out books, and informs stu- dents if their books are overdue. She is familiar with the books in the library and can assist the girls in finding reference material and choosing fiction books. The library is used for reference work as well as quiet study.

Paula Pearce consults Mrs. Richardson concerning a 1851 paper. Ladies, please! Why so pale and wan? Miss Koenitzer listens inienfly as oral reports are given in her ninth grade English class. C r The study of Latin is important for three reasons. First, learning vocabulary and understanding gram- mer in foreign languages are easier after a student has studied Latin. AIso, Latin helps the student to understand English words and grammar. In fact, the Juniors and Seniors learn English vocabulary by its Latin suffixes and prehxes. Lastly, studying Latin gives the student 01 background in Roman history and classical literature. Latin is required in the eighth and ninth grades. In these grades, the emphasis Is on prose. Girls learn vocabulary and grammar, and apply their knowl- edge by writing sentences. In the spring of their freshman year, the girls begin to read Caesar. In the remaining three years, the emphasis Is placed on translation from Latin to English. In the tenth grade, classes finish Caesar and study some poetry. The Jun- iors briefly take Up Pliney and then move on to Cicero for the remainder of the year. Seniors read Virgil's Aeneid, the story of the Trojan hero, Aeneus. Mrs. DeCump explains a Latin fundamental to her class. One of Miss Brokaw's students translates a passage of Cicero weII. A Modern Text The Spanish department at Hillsdole has expanded by leaps and bounds over the past five years. Each year Spanish has become increasingly popular, making Mrs. Schroder's life more hectic. She is the only teacher for four grades of classes, All tour levels use the language lob; thus, each girl may improve her accent and increase her understanding at her own rate. Every student studies grammar and vocabulary, but in diFterent ways First year students struggle over the coniugations 0nd endings, rules and their dreaded exceptions, cmd those awful idioms, while Upper classes use these simple fundamentals to write imaginative compositions on innumerable subiects. Not all class time is spent on composition techniques, but also on reading South American or Spanish novels, learning the customs and geography of Spanish speak- ing countries, and corresponding in Spanish. Immediately before Christmas vocation the students had a party during which every word was spoken in Spanish. The afternoon was complete with a pinata and games. The party is quickly becoming one of the annu- ol highlights for those who take Spanish. Miss Stanton interests her latin class with early Roman history. . and how do you say butch wax in Spanish? Mrs. Schroder finds the language lab a great help in teach- ing Spanish conversation. A PaTh To Universal Friendship The language lab helps Jo Deupree in foreign pronounci- aTion. Madame Low'fher waTches a sTudent Translate a French sentence on The board. French, one of The most imporTonT of The foreign languages, is Tuughf in all six grades. In The lower school The basics of grammar and vocabulary are ToughT. The sTUdenTs also wriTe composiTions using The recenle-leorned moTerial. In The sophomore year, some French hisTory is TGUghT To help The sTudenTs To undersTond The French noTion and people 015 well as Their language. The juniors review grammar briefly, and conTinue The sTudy of French hisTory. The seniors devoTe mosT of Their Time To reading shorT novels by famous French auThors and To wriTing Themes. Every class uses The language lab once or Twice a week. By IisTening To Tapes each girl learns To under- sTond colloquial French, answer quesTlons rapidly, and Improve her accent. The Teacher may listen in on any or all of The sTudenTs To correcT Their grammar, accenT, or inflecTion. She may also Tune one person in on anoTher, so ThoT They may carry on o conversa- Tion in French. In This way, sTudenTs learn useful idioms and are given a chance To apply when They have lusT T learned Have you ever eOTen lunch wiTh someone who only spoke French? This year a Table 0T lunch was seT aside where only French was spoken. Though The con- versoTions were somewhaf llmiTed, The girls beneTleed from The experience. In her six years of Hillsdole a girl is given The op- porTuniTy To acquire all The fundamenTols of The French language, read works of The greaT French au- Thors, and form a background in French hisTory. :nm-mv um mmmmmm mum Mlle. Armand says: Les prepositions ne sanf pas dimciles. Mrs McGreul reads aloud in French to the eighth grade. The recently established French table has enabled sfudenfs to relax and practice French conversation dur- ing lunch. Outside Reading Helps Students' Science Work Nancy Smith uses the library for biology research. Mrs. Lovett writes assignment sheets for her general science class. Mrs. Schultz prepares for her upcoming biology class. 20 Advancementethe most important ingredient in the field of science. To keep up with our modern world, the science department is continuously going through change. The program has expanded so that a girl may take more sciences and possibly physics in her senior year. This means that she must have had chemistry and at least three or four years of math. Hillsdaie girls are first introduced to science in the seventh grade. Meeting three days a week, they learn the basic principles and systems of biology, physics, and chemistry. This has been the first year that sci- ence has been taught in the seventh grade and it was a very successful year. The Freshmen and Sophomore science program also underwent a complete change. Under the old system a Sophomore had to choose between biology and ancient history. Since many wanted to take the history, but were also interested in the science, Fresh- men were freed from their general science require- ment; now in the ninth grade and next year in both grades nine and ten, 0 student takes ancient history i and biology, each giving a half credit. The upperclassmen are ottered two science courses, either biology or chemistry. This gives the students a choice between two different sciences. Biology gives a girl the chance to study intensely a course about all living things. The girls take detailed notes on basic information, and on Friday they look eagerly through microscopes at cells and minute beings or disect some unlucky Fish or pig. Many girls are often seen racing toward the gym at recess, their faces a dull green, remarking about the gruesome experiences they have just been through. Leaf notebooks, field trips, and biology pro- jects are all part of the gratifying and wonderful course ionce the desections are overt. Instead of a lecture and then experimenting or observing examples as in biology, girls experiment, then are given lectures on what they have dis: covered. This is the new Chem study course which is just being introduced throughout schools and col- leges everywhere. Students also did research and experiments, arrived at a conclusion, and in March handed in a project on a subiect not covered in class. Along with diu- grams, pictures, and actual demonstrations, each explained her project to the others On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the two lab bells, odd smells and wierd actions could often be ob- served in the chemistry lab. Frequently girls were seen making poisonous solutions or working with such substances as gun powder! Chemistry students-bewarel Mrs. Schultz explains possible tests for bacteria.

Though the advanced stu- dents Finish their required moth by the freshman year, many continue through algebra II and math IV. Math in the lower grades has also changed, the emphasis now being on understanding problems and coming to logical conclusions. For the first time, calcu- lus Was taught at Hillsdole this year.

History is another task of Mrs. Ericksnn's. and Facts There are 4500 years of explorations, conquests, and cultural developments behind us, and the His- tory department does its best to cover the important events in this great time span. in the seventh grade and again in the eleventh, American History is taught The History courses in the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades deal mostly with Ancient History of the eastern countries, The eighth grade concentrates on the Far East, Middle East, Soviet Union, current oiioirs, and world problems. Freshmen study the civilizations of Rome, Greece, and Egypt as did the Sophomores until this year. Next foil the tenth graders will begin a study of Modern European History.

One Monday morning in late April 05 the student body was marching into assembly, many uppere clossmen realized that the group of teachers stand- ing before them meant the announcement of the new members of the Cum Laude Society. Mrs. Schroder, the president, explained what the society was and that faculty, Juniors, and Seniors were eli- gible for membership, Greet excitement arose, es- pecially among the iunior class, as she announced that people from all three groups had been elected. E7 Do you think I'll ever make it? Miss Koenitzer, Anne McLaurin, Jennifer deVries, iPolIy Adair, Vicky Emery, Martha Goldsmith, and Monnie Gores were the recipients of the oversized gold keys. Three weeks later a dinner in honor of the six girls was given for the girls on honor roll, their parents the Board of Trustees, and their husbands and wives. After the dinner, the four Seniors and two Juniors were initiated into the Society. The ritual included ports set down by the Society and by Hillsdalet The lighting of the three candles was symbolic of the Society's motto, Excellence, Justice, Honor. After the ceremony, Mrs. William G. Blaine gave a speech, the importance of an education, which con- cluded the affair. Miss Price intraduces the Cum Laude initiates of 1965: Polly Adair, Vicky Emery, Jennifer de Vries, Anne McLuurin, Martha Goldsmith, Monnie Gores. 24 This light is the symbol of excellence, the goal of true scholarship.

This is a time when everyone reviews what she has And here Esme chancem prove Your knowledge. learned in the preceeding months and quite often croms vast amounts of knowledge into her brain. The normal, light-heurted mood of the school changes into one of a more serious nature. Everyone knows how much exams count toward making honor roll and possibly becoming 0 member of Cum Loude. Again this year those Seniors with a good grade average in a subiect were exempt from exams, al- though they had to write a paper instead. However, exams are more than something to dread, for with the conclusion of them comes the long-owoited vo- cation and a chance to begin again with a clean slate. 25 t The Ideas Are t There . . . Mrs. Cooke agrees that live props add action to a play. 26 Miss Shellberg plans her schedule for the day. SeIt-expression and creativity are emphasized in the art classes. Miss Shellberg gives each girl much individual attention, so that she may produce some- t thing beautiful and useful at her own speed while learning the techniques of drawing and pointing. There is never 0 dull moment in the art room. Stu- dents are kept busy throughout the year making osh- troys, figures, and pins with the kitn, silk screening Christmas cards or note paper, and working with chalks, points, and charcoal. The classes contribute much of their work done in the fall to Miss Shellberg's art table at the Harvest Fair. The assignments are designed to give girls great latitude in subiect, color, and effect. A course in Studio Art is oftered to the more tul- ented members of the iunior and senior classes. Those who wish to develop an appreciation for art may en- roll in the History of Art course, Speech classes serve three main purposes. First, stu- dents learn to speak in front of people. Mrs. Cooke teaches each girl proper diction, voice projection, and eye contact. Impromptu speeches on familiar topics are presented in front of the class, so that each stu- dent may learn to think on her feet. Sophomores are required to give an oral before the junior and senior speech classes, Secondly, the girls learn the principles of oral reading. Several assemblies are usually devoted to reading either short stories or monologues. Thirdly, each class presents a one-act play in use sembly. Girls scurry around to Find costumes and learn lines weeks in advance. Mrs. Cooke also shows stu- dents how to apply stage moke-up. This Christmas the senior speech class used these skills in performing The Bird's Christmas Caroll' for the Cincinnati Col- lege Club. Miss Wagner is pleased with the harmony of the glee club. with the Talent Dance requires more than coordination. It also de- mands a sense of rhythm, movement, and imagine- tion. The lower school students use these skills in the folk dances, polkus, and marches which they learn. Upperclossmen concentrate on modern dance. Stu- dents are required to make Up dances using not only familiar steps but also a few original ones. Some of these dances are used in the spring concert What would the Miracle Play, the spring concert, class day, and graduation be without music? The suc- cess of these school traditions is due to the eftorts of the music department. In the lower school, the em- phasis is on sight reading and developing an ear for music. Girls in the upper school who enioy singing may join the Glee Club. One need not try out, as the opportunity to belong is open to all. These two departments are closely allied. Mrs. Wagner provides most of the music for the dance classes. To be a good dancer one must know how to count music and must respond to the tempo of the piece. Each year the music and dance departments join forces to present the spring concert. Due to the combined efforts, the concert is always 0 great suc- cess. 27 Mrs. Wagner accompanies modern dancers. 28 Class Day Is the Seniorsi Day Class Day is the Seniors' day,- it is the time when the students recognize the Seniors and the Seniors honor the school. According to tradition, the Seniors planted a tree, this year on the front lawn of the school. The entire stu- dent body, the faculty, and relatives of the seniors gathered around the tree for the ceremony. The class of 1965 attached their ribbon to the shovel already weighted down with different colored streamers and tied on two small saddle shoes. Each girl in turn came forward and placed some earth around the tree while the iunior glee club sang the tra- ditional Tree Planting Song. Then Vicki Emery, the class president, presented the shovel to the incoming class president, Katy Taft. Judy Kramer led the school in the alma mater, ending the ceremonies. The Seniors prepare to plant their Star Magnolia. Each picture portrays a difterent scene-u trip, baby dolls, or a gardening party. Sewing Prqves Rewo rding Each year everyone looks forward to Miss God- frey's fashion show. It is not at all like a regular show in that cull of the garments are hand-made by those girls in sewing classes. The show is presented in such a way that it seems as it one is turning the pages of a fashion magazine and the girls appear to step out of the pictures. These are arranged so as to begin with the simpler clothes and to conclude with the formal dresses. The last two pictures included the girts who were elected to the Shillito's Sewing Board Each Thursday throughout the school year the representatives went to Shillito's and learned various aspects of fashion. Each girl also mode on original outfit which she modeled at a Shillito fashion showaarby Roth, first semester representative, sewed a long nightgown and Rita Lillard, second semester, made an em- broidered dress.

Each class has equal representation on the Council, thus each class' opinion has equal weight in matters brought before the body. The seventh grade elected representatives twice, so that more girls were given the experience of working with other members of the student body. One of the Council's iobs was to direct school and class proe iectsi Each year it gives money to charities decided upon by the students themselves. The Council has spon- sored a foster child for several years and will support a young Vietnamese girl next yeari In March the Council directed a fashion show, Mode Orientole, to raise money to bring another exchange student to Hillsdale. The Council also promoted good study habits and independence. This year the seminar room was re-estoblished. Girls, with their teacher's permission, were permitted to go to a designated room to dis- cuss homework, talk over 0 ioint proiect, or review for a test. The honor system was set up to help girls study more independently Girls on honor were able to study in any free room.

Quill Has Active Team This year not only the staff members but also the other stu- dents at Hillsdale were encouraged to write articles for the Quill. Girls were urged to shore with the school any interesting or unusual trips or experiences Many submitted literary achieve- ments to the Quill. Others, who had complaints about school policy, wrote editorials to express their opinions and suggest reform. New to the Quill this year was the subject of world affairs. Several seniors wrote essays explaining current situations. Last November, students and faculty were requested to cast their ballots for the President and congressmen. For the many at school who enioy lighter subiects, the Feds and Fancies column reported the latest school gossip. Inquiring Photographer provided girls with an opportunity to express their views on non-ocademic subiects. SChOGI activities, such as the Harvest Fair, the Miracle Play, , and the Fashion Show, were reported. The sports editor saw to ' A -, E it that all athletic elections were printed, and wrote about the i V W hockey, tennis, and volleyball games with other schools.

Christy Graf and Kathy Taft, concerned with the lack of spirit and friendliness in the school, organized this club in October. The club presented in an assembly the main problems to be solved. They pointed out the lock of friendlinesstbetween the students and faculty, and between students of ditterent classes. They asked that students take more pride in their appearance, not write on desk tops, and show more respect for other people's property. The girls also posted signs at four corners and the drinking fountain, reminding people to smile. The girls were present at all school functions! hoping to set an example for the rest of the students. In April, they challenged the faculty to a volleyball game. In doing this, they not only created another school activity, but also boosted the school spirit, Even their defeat by the faculty failed to dim their enthusiasm. The Art Club, headed this year by Gail Slammer and Pam Flynn, is one of the most important clubs at Hillsdale. As soon as school starts, the club members begin making trays, stationery, dolls, oshtrays, and jewelry for the Harvest Fair. The club helps to print the school Christmas cards and various program covers throughout the year. You may have noticed the colorful paintings in the lunch room, or on the walls near four corners. These are also products of the art club. In the spring the girls made pins for under- priviledged children to give to their mothers on Mother's Day.

Throughout the school year, the club members gave time and eFFort for others. In the fall, the club collected clothes for the Frontier Nursing Service and took charge of the Thanksgiving baskets. The girls also made disaster kits for the Red Cross with money donated by the Student Council. FIRST ROW: Kitty Hawley, Ginger Withenbury, Christy Cooper, Robin Orton, Beth Hilton.

A group of children from an orphanage in Mt. Washington were happy this St. Patrick's Day, be- cause of the party given for them by the Service Club. Ginls began planning this weeks ahead, cutting out four leaf clovers and making favors. In May, the club gave its annual picnic at school for underprivileged children. Most of the youngsters had never seen so much grass or such large ployfields before, and were delighted at the thought of playing baseball and having 0 picnic outdoors. Each child was given some- thing to take home to his mother for Mother's Day. Everyone is proud of Barbara Ruehlmon, Betty Lou Prince, Miss Godfrey, and each girl on.the Service Club for doing her part to accomplish so much. bie Roth, leezie Walker, Nancy Pechstein, Debbie Geier, Anne Atkins.

The only requirements were originality and enioyable style and content. After receiving many compositions, the members read and judged them; if the general opinion was favorable, the themes were selected. Diversity was an important port of the club's success. Any girl from any class could compose a composition in English! Spun- ish, or French. Although the organization has just been estab- lished, with Judy Kramer and Francie Perry as co-chairmen, it has set such a high standard that the Literary Club in future years will have trouble equalling it.

Everything from watering flowers to addressing envelopes to keeping a school diary is clone. Wednes- day fourth bell there is a flurry of activity as Anne Drackett, chair- man, hands out jobs to the members. One week they may be fill- ing out transcript forms or addressing those deadly report card envelopes, or they may play hostess to a visiting college repre- sentative or prospective parent. Of all clubs this one probably has the greatest diversification of tasks.

Executive Club Manages Hillsdale Student Store Without the Executive Club, the school could not function properly. This organization helps Miss Neu, their adviser, keep the books balanced; they run and manage the store from which girls may purchase those ever-flow pens, brilliantly colored folders for brilliant term papers, and almost every other school supply imaginable. The Executive Club is busy not only during activities bell on Wednesday, but also before school, at recess, and at conference during the week On Wedndesdoys the organization, under the leadership of Anne Watson and Lynn? Davis, takes inventory. They codnt the supplies and decide what to reorder. They also sort and olphabetize the stu- dent charge slips from the weekly purchases. 39 Library Club Catalogs Science Group Studies Books, books and more bookSewithout the Li- brary Club, no one would ever be able to Fmd. the book she wcmted. Cataloging books is the prin- ciple job the library club accomplishes during the activities period throughout the year. Keeping track of college bulletins and periodicals, posting overdue notices, and keeping the posters of the library up to date were among the other iobs they carried out under the leadership of Joan Archiable. The Science Club was another new organization this year. Angi Harmon, the chairman, showed movies on telstor, wildlife, and chemicals, and arranged to have members present proiects on psychiatry, rocks, plants, and titration, the way of predicting chemi- cal reactions Then in the spring the club spent sev- eral weeks identitying the trees on the school campus and placing name plaques on the trees.

Malinda Mayer cast and directed the whole aHoir in which the Thespion members were the main actors, and the supporting roles were played by other interested students. Janet Stevenson, secretory-treasurer, made the scenery and was in charge of the stage crew.

The kitchen stczii1 works hard to prepare hot meals every day for both Hillsdcle and Lofspeich. Ahhough they have all the modern conveniences of a kitchen, it is a hard job to cook and serve wellhbolqnced meals for so many children. Maintaining the school building and grounds is a much harder job than one would expect. Mr. Young and his assistants are kept busy cutting grass and caring for the school grounds, setting up the lunch tabtes and chairs for special programs. They give much assistance with the props and stage for the Miracle Play and events like the Spring Concert. SPCA Keeps School Neat Most of the work of the SPCA. is done behind locked doors -the pound door, that is. The members of the Society for the Preservation of Clothing and Articles, guided by Judy Kramer, saw to if that all articles lost on school grounds were put in the pound. If an item was marked, the owned was told of its where- abouts, and might recover her misplaced article for a small fee. At the end of the year, anything that had not been claimed was given to the Goodwill. FIRST ROW: Parn Sammis, lisa Lambert, Leslie Lenherr. SECOND ROW: Diane Wulsin, Ellen Yeiser, Barbara Simon.

Assemblies are on important part of each girlts memory of the school year. The students plan some and the mothers and faculty plan others. Throughout the year, speech, dance, and piano classes presented assemblies to entertain the students and faculty. One morning Etsuko, dressed in a kimono, showed us several Japanese folk dancest In May, some assemblies were devoted to announcing Student Council, annual board, and Quill elections. New this year were student forums The girls could talk over prob lems more freely since no teachers were present. Most people felt that these were beneficial, for matters were clarified and misunderstande ings were straightened out. Everyone welcomed back Ted Buemiller,, who come to school twice to show his pictures of Holy The mothers planned several assemblies this year. Mr. Tucker, from the Historical and Philisophicol Society of Ohio, spoke about the Cincinnati waterfront. We learned about the geological setting of Cincinnati and Hillsdole from Mr. Richard Durrell, the professor of geology at the University of Cincinnati. The last speaker, Mr. Mason, from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, informed us about the dit- terent types of cases the FBI handles, and some ingenious methods used for catching criminals. Can you name everyone in the school?

These choriTies are chosen loTer by The sTudenT body. This year There were many new and differenr Things. Because There was no sToge in The gym, The 1964 book sale was held in Hill Manor. Two new games were devised and run by The Juniors: The rec- ord walk and The Fun House. Of course, all The usual booThs were There buT wiTh a French Hover, as France was also The Theme of The fair.

Juniors choose SpringTime in Paris as Their Theme for fhe TulenT Show. 44 The Antique Show Was One of Many Class Proiects i Class meetings were held every Thursday morning during as- sembly period, In this time, the class ofhcers reported what had been discussed in Student Council meeting the day before. Di5e cUssion followed, enobhng the class representatives to voice their classl opinion at the next council meeting. The remaining time was usually spent planning the class proi- ect. In previous years, two or even three classes might have had their class projects at the same time; thus, no class made as much money as it could have. This year, each class In the upper school was allowed one project, and was given 0 specific period of the School year in which to Complete the project. The Seniors held an antique auction one weekend last fall. Several antique dealers rented booths in Founder's Hall, keep- ing oll profit from the scales. The Seniors made money from tick- ets, food, and booth rentals. During the winter quarter the Juniors sold candy. Two or three weary girls were usually roaming the halls before and utter school peddling candy bars, mints! and tins of Kotydids and butter toffee. Late in May the sophomore class held a dance, The Dynamics played, making the party a great success The Freshmen had a ccrwosh and bake-sole in Hyde Park and Indian Hill. The candle display was Cl favorite. 45 Seniors profited from the cafe on the stage. A variety of antiques were displayed and sold at the Antique Show sponsored by the senior class. Patty Bighum checks costumes for the Miracle Play. Mrs. Cooke directs the cast for the spring play, One Foot in Heaven. Les girlsl Students Successful in Miracle, and Spring Plays. Early in December practices, rehearsals, and meetings begin the preparation of the traditional Miracle Play. The whole school participates in this production with singing and dancing being the major ports. Lynne Davis welcomed the guests as Lord of the Manor, and Terry Harrison sang the Boar's Head Carol. Gerry Pattison, Carol Goyert, and Melinda Mayer sang the trier solo parts, Poppy Yeiser was the angel of the gable and Jennifer deVries was Mary. Linda Heudley, Patti Fogg, Bizzy Chatfield were the three kingst For each girls at Hillsdole the Miracle Play symbolized not iust getting our of school for Christmas vocation but also the true spiritual meaning of Christmas, one of beauty and grace- ulness. From January to March the senior speech Class was diligently learning lines for the spring play, One Foot in Heaven. Four boys from Walnut Hills, two from Moriemont, and four sopho- mores and Juniors from Hillsdale played other roles in the play. The story was a Methodist ministerls family who moved to Lcketon, Iowa to take the reigns of a new church. However, here they discovered countless problems among the parishioners. The humor and satire added human interest to the otherwise tragic drama. Mrs. Cooke directed the cost, which rehearsed every Friday and Sunday afternoon for two months before the perfor- mance. This year, instead of a Friday night performance, there was a matinee in addition to the Saturday evening performance. We had a picnic on the grounds with Miss Hutchison's and the lake in the background. Juniors, Seniors Invade the Land of Dixie, On Friday May seventh at 8:30 in the morning, twenty-four Juniors and Seniors, chaperoned by Miss Brestel and Miss Price, embarked on a weekend trip to Memphis, Tennessee. There each student stayed with a girl from Miss Hutchinsonls, a school much like Hillsdale. On Friday night and Saturday the yonkees were entertained with a swimming party, a picnic, a tour of Memphis, and a barbecue dinner. In addition to these activities, many of the hostesses planned other surprises such as attending a fashion show, going out with a Southern gentlemen, and adventuring across the TennesV see River to stand on Arkansas soil. The Hillsdale group, however, spent only thirty-six hours in Memphis. The rest of the week-end was spent on the train The whole car rang with the strains of T Wish I Was in the Land of Dixie and Once in Royal Davidls Cityt There was much talk of homework, but it was obviously easier said than done, for not a book was opened. This was, indeed, a weekend of pure fun and Southern hospitality. Wanna come swimmin', poochie? 47 Where is the salt? Dessert was served in the library. There's a fountain in the library.

The Senior's futile cries did no good on April twenty-third, the day of the P.T.A. coffee. While the parents, faculty, and administration met together for the annual P.T.A. meeting dufing first period, the seniors had to maintain order in the classes. Tow Seniors together in each class struggled through everything from explaining seventh grade math to lecturing a junior English class The Seniors learned some of the problems of teaching; some gave a spell- ing bee to the seventh grade English class in utter desPerotion, The morning was then ended by a class ploy given by one junior speech Class. Parents and faculty share new ideug at the Spring PAT.A. Coffee. Who said the sevens are harmless? Spring Concert Presented with Country Day Boys The Spring Concert cm annual event at Hills- dale, was held on April 23, in Founder's Hall. The iunior and senior glee clubs and the Country Day Gomboliers had been rehearsing for weeks. They sang Block is the Color of My True Love's Heir, selections from Camelot, and Hold On, 0 Negro spiritual; in addition, the Gcmboliers and the glee clubs each song separately. This year the eighth graders also took part in the program. They sang Do Re Mi from the Sound of Music. The dances, interpretations of Death, Evil, Wis- Anotherendingto unofhershowl dom, Joy, and Anger, were excellent this year. The costumes were simple, but when mixed with the red, blue, purple, or yellow lighting, produced effects to correspond to the dance themes. Miss Wagner and Mrt Brush each conducted the songs, Mrs. Wagner played the piano for both the singing and dancing. Natalie and Anne go up in a Flt of anger. The senior glee club and the Gumboliers sing Climb Every Mountain. Mrs. Wagner accompanies both the dancers and the glee clubs. Fathers Meet Daughters Once again the fathers left work early, hurried to Hillsdale, and prepared for backache: and pains which would undoubtedty appear the next day. Each class played baseball with its daddies. There was great laughter as someone's father struck out, dropped :1 fly ball, or threw c1 ball for to the left of first base. Those who played tennis found the Perrys and the Heucks to be too much competition. However, the Perrys finally took the winner's prize. The dinner was served by caterers this year. Baked beans, cole slaw, hum, cheeses, and roast beef were offered along with cherry, peach, and apple pie. After dinner the seniors presented the annual skit. It was en- titled The Class Menagerie or Our Fair Daughters, the etory Of Tessie, a senior, who dreamed that she was a seven againt The Heucks congratulate the Perry's Students Swing of Dance Do-re-mi . . . Among the pleasures of spring vacation is the spring dance. Held on the first night of vacation, this climaxes the long winter season which has iust ended and heralds the coming of Spring. This year the theme was Japanese to honor Etsuko, our for- eign student. After much confusion we selected the Shadows who played all of the poputor songs from Love Potion Number Nine and Eight Days A Week to Red Roses For A Blue Lady. Each class was given one part of the dance to organize: theme, invitations, decorations, food, bond, and, of course clean- Up. A committee of two representatives from each class met frequently with the parents committee to plan the dance. The success of the aHair was largely due to their work. Hi, therel Good night, ladies.

One Corridor Leads to Sportsmanship Athletics play a large part in the promotion of Hiltlsdole spirit. Hockey, volleyball, and baseball games between the green and gold teams and among the classes promote sportsmanship and pep 05 well as the improvement of techniques. These skills are acquired during the weekty gym classes and practiced during the sports bells. These periods also afford time for a student to re- lax. The Sevens run OFF their abundant energy, the Sophomores exchange the latest news; and in the spring, the Seniors soak Up the sun during baseball games. Throughout the talJ each girl strives for excel- lence in hockey skills and techniques, The highest recognition awarded a girl in this sport is election by the hockey instructors to the Laurel Hockey Team. The selection of these chosen girls is announced at the annual Hockey Luncheon which climaxes the sea- son. Soon after Christmas vocation the hockey sticks are put away and volleyball occupies the sports schedule during the long winter months. Again em- phasis is on the perfection of skills. In the spring, tennis classes replace the weekly gym period, and throughout the day the courts are always occupied. StiH more variety is added to the spring schedule as some Juniors and Seniors spend two sports bells a week learning archery. In what- ever sport or activity, the physical education stott strives to instill in each girl those principles of sports- monship and fair play. On Award Day girls are awarded recognition for sportsmanship and excel- lence in the various sports. 55 Hello, hello, hello. You're a Senior and don't know what's oEsides? Hockey Highlights Fall Oh no! Hey you fullback, tackle thaf forward before she shoots. It hit your foot,- you can't play it. Where's our for- wa'rd line? These and many other cries filled the air from September to December as the hockey season progressed. Gym classes were spent doing such fascinating exercises as running around in circles hitting a hockey ball to improve tech- nique. During sporfs bells, practice and official games were played. Much To the embarassment of the Juniors and Seniors, ?he Sophomores won fhe season ufler a three-way Tie.

The First event of the season is the Harvest Fair Hockey Game. It was a fight the whole game through, with the golds scoring a goal in the hrst half and the greens in the second half Until the end of the game both teams fought hard, but neither could break the tie. Each fall, Hillsdale, along with many other schools in South- Western Ohio, has a hockey clinic. Again this year it was held at Hillsdale. After a morning of earning techniques, the after- noon was spent playing official games between schools. An- other big hockey event is the Playday which ts also annually held at Hillsdale. Girls from Louisville, Columbus, and Indian- apolis come and play the Cincinnatt schools. Both events were very tiring, as all who participated can attest.

To the disappointment of all, the day of the luncheon was rainy, so the annual game was called 0H. However, excitement mounted as the luncheon started The theme of the year, the Wizard-of-Oz, was carried through all the decorationsl The best remembered of these were the green glasses each girl received. After a wonderful lunch served by a commHtee of students, Anne Mchurin and Bonnie Burns each gave a toast. Then came the all-excifing moment as Miss Brestel announced those girls receiving honorable mention and those making the laurel huckey team itself. Honorable mention went to: Joan Archioble, Bonnie Burns, Bonnie Clrk, Debbie Koons, Shannon Kelly, Kathy Pogue, and Lin Yelser.

At cortference and before school, the sevens and eights dashed about challenging other classmates to games of 21, the goal being to beat one's op- ponent by reaching twentyione points first. Then they would challenge the next girl, two places above them on the ladder chart. Three ping-pong tournaments-seven-eight, nine-ten, eleven- twelve-took place last winter also. Throughout February and March, girls playd cramped against the wall in the ping-pong room as their opponents slammed shots into those impossible corners. In sports classes one day, the upper classes played a differ- ent type of volleyball, CutAThroat. This is a game of strength rather than skill. As many hits can be taken as needed and there are no boundary lines. Everyone agreed that all volley- ball games should be played this way. This year for the first time, gymnastics was introduced to all classes. Work on the vaulting box and the balance beam was added to the stunts and tumbling already familiar to the lower school. The sports department and members of the Athletic As- sociation thought that gymnastics would be a welcome change from volleyball for the upper classes For days after gym classes, the Juniors and Seniors could be heard grumbling about sore, unused muscles. 17-13 . . . your serve.

Tennis Provides a Chance for Tournaments, Team Play Among the spring activities were tennis and tennis classes. Instead of the normal gym class, each girl had 0 tennis class with about ten other girls of her own ability. Discussions of the rules and techniques of the swings and serves were held along with the oc- tuol practice and play. Besides the three tournaments-seven-eight, nine- ten, and eleven-twelve-there was the tennis ladder from which the top seven girls were chosen for the tennis team. This year the team had a winning sea- son, showing their superior ability. However, they played matches only with Indian Hill and Wyoming because of the weatherman's lack of cooperation in providing sunny weather. Don't you wish you were in bare feet? 66 A baseball game is an opportune time for conversing. Some Chose Baseball . . . With the return from Spring Vocation, the change in uniforms, and the warmer weather, come base- ball. During each sports class the Sandy Koufoxes, Mickey Mantles, 0nd Veda Pinsons were all practic- ing for the big Hillsdole games held in May. On some of the warmer days the rigorous training was abandoned in the older classes for trying to get a sun ton and exerting as little energy as possible. The lower school, however, was very industrious, as was shown when the Sevens met the Sophomores for the chompionshtp, but the Sophomores won the title, The Greens barely won the season from the Golds, showing how evenly the two teams were matched. The archery season ends with a party. 67 taming? .M There are tense moments for the catcher. Robin Hood Mayer! Some Chose Archery For those Juniors and Seniors to whom baseball did not appeal, archery was available. On Mon- days and Thursdays, the Robin Hoods of Hillsdole would trap merrily m down to lower field to shoot bulls-eyes tsometimest. The first few times the scores were low, but by the end of May, the girls become quite good, often being able to hit two buIIs-eyes in c: row. With the help of Nancy Newkirk, Miss Price was able to teach even the most untolented archer how to shoot; surprisingly enough, there were actually no casualties from stray arrows. For the last meeting Miss Price gave a party for her merry bond of archers, which concluded the sect- son. Several girls proved their skill in a demonsfrafion on the balance beam. Here The nimh graders execute forward, and backward flying angels. The greens sing songs To fhe golds, their capfain, and Their mascot. The greens tumble in their victory formu- fion. The iunior captains award corsages to their respective captains. Greens Are Victors at Gym Meet The Gym Meet, a longstanding tradition at Hills- dale, took on a few changes this year. Instead of performing in the gym, the girls were in Founder's Hall; thus, spectators and performers had more room. Instead of climbing ropes, the nines worked on the vaulting box. There was also a demonstration on the balance beam. Both teams had practiced for the event throughout the winter months. Songs were composed and learned and the girls mastered stunts and tumbling skills. The sevens and eights practiced their dances. Both teams also learned the march that began the meet. During the performance, judges graded the teams on their marching, posture, enthusiasm, and originality in mat formations as well as the execution of the gymnas- tics. After the exhibition, the entire school anxiously awaited the results of the tallied scores. The Green Team raised 0 tumult of cheers as they were an- nounced the victors. Both teams in a marching formation opened the meet. 69 Nat Bimel, overjoyed, accepts the Sportsmanship Cup. The Golds wait for the winner of the Green-Gold cup to be an- nounced. Susan Krebiel omcially congratulates Nat Bimel, the in- coming A.A. president. eAward Day Honors Students. On Award Day this year many girls were recog- nized for their academic achievements, their spirit and enthusiasm, and their athletic ability. The Flor- ence Fessenden award is given to 0 senior not al- reudy recognized for outstanding grades who has excelled in a particular subiect. This year Judy Kro- mer won the award for her work in Spanish The Miriam Titcomb award is presented to a junior who has shown herself to be 0 good student and a re- sponsible person. Susan Howiey received this award. The Bryn Mowr Club award went to Martha Gold- smith. Kathy Taft received recognition from Alliance Francoise for her fine achievement in French. Barby Roth and Kiny Huwley receive one of The many felt awards from Bonnie Burns. Mrs. Schulz presenTed cerTiFTcaTes To Those girls who en- Tered Their Biology proiecTs In The science fair.

The ceremonies ended wiTh The announcemenT ThaT The Golds, headed by Anne MCLourin 0nd CynThio Perry, had won The Cup. 71 Susan welcomes everyone To The second half of The assembly. Susan presents The Tennis cup To Joy Barreft. 72 One Corridor Leads To Lasting Friendships. Although the entire student body works together in many activities, it is as a member of a class that a girl forms her strongest friendships. Each class is bonded together by different problems. However, within each grade, all of the girls are confronted with the same pressures, the same ioys. There is a common bond which enables every girl to travel the hallway of learning more easily, for she knows that she is accompanied by her friends. Each clams has its own traditiOnol characteristics. The sevens are known for their perfectly immaculate uniforms and retiring manner around the older girls. Controrily, the eighth graders are characterized by their rowdy games of handball on the tennis courts after lunch. The Freshmen are recognized by their abundance of energy. The Sophomores are known for their athletic talents and the Juniors, for their authoritative dictatorship in calling the lunch tables. However, as each class moves on to the next grade, its characteristics change These changes con- tinue from the seventh to the twelfth grade until each girl is finally prepared to choose 0 hallway of her own. 73 FIRST ROW; Emily Davies. SECOND ROW: Lisa Carothers, Sally BruckeT, Ann Applegate, Reba Carruthers, Carol Campbell, Anne Atkins. Sevens EnTer a New World of Friendship, Experience As soon as The sevenTh graders enTered The halls of Hillsdale, each girl enTered into new experiences and new friendships; she also gave up cerToin privi- leges and ways of life, such as The coed opportunie Ties offered 0T public schools. During The hrsT week or Two The changes seemed so sTronge To The sevens, bUT soon each TelT of home wearing uniforms, Toking sewing, and sTudying for exams, Everyone become occusTomed To changing rooms for different subiecTs of The ringing of bells Tespecially Tardy beHsT, and TO being quieT in The line for ossembTy.

SECOND ROW: Judith Johnson, Margie Preston, Muril McCord, Christine Ogden, Mary Morris, Emily Jolly, Jean Meier. Physical education is another area of change. Hockey was new to most members of the class, but many of the basic techniques were mastered during the first few weeks of practice. Likewise, in the winter months the sevens' effort in learning tumbling and difterent stunts showed good results in the gym meet in March. This is the class that invariably stumps everyone in the naming assembly, and this year was no excep- tion. The upperclassmen were terrified when they looked CIT all of those unknown faces. Each uppere clossman shuddered as her class was selected and hoped that she woutd not be chosen to name the sevens. As this class was introduced to new ways and ideas, it brought many of its own. The girls were willing to try anything, and in June the results showed in exams, the fashion show, and Award Day. This is the beginning of many things to come, many hall- ways to enter.

The Eighth Grade Kindles Enthusiasm No longer members of the youngest class in the school, these girls can look down on the seventh graders and laugh under- standingiy at some of their mistakes. By her second year each girl has carefully tested excuses and illnesses for missing tests. She has mastered the art of arriving at classes just as the bell ring, not 0 moment before. Besides contributing talent to the Harvest Fair Variety Show, the eighth graders added spirit to the Miracle Play as they por- trayed the happy Wassailers. This enthusiasm could also be seen during recess, conference, and lunch At recess, the eights were the first in the gym for cookies. During lunch, this class gave the Juniors 0 hard time as it stampeded into the iunch line and soon emerged with plates piled high with butter and rolls. After lunch the eights were usually playing capture the flag on the tennis Courts. Their exhuberonce also carried over into academic subjects. After reading and discussing Oliver Twist, in English class, they went to an afternoon performance of Oliver . An apple a day keeps Mr. O'Connell happy was the math class' new met- to. Ali of the eighth graders took sewing for the first semester. Miss Godfrey asked back for the second semester those whose sewing and whose grades were good enough. In the Gym Meet, the eights were given more freedom. They had a wider selec- tion of stunts and tumbling to choose from, and they could de- cide their mat formations. The Juniors are looking forward to Freshman day next year with this peppy, tun-Ioving classt FIRST ROW: Caroline Holmes, Ellen Grudison, Polly Gamble, Carol Hatferaiey, Sally Liilurd, Robin Orton, Cindy Johnson, Kuhn, Sandy Pogue.

The Freshmen Vie wiTh Upperclassmen in AThIeTics The ninTh graders are chorocTerized by Their pep and enThusiosm, Their friendliness, and Their oThleTic obiliTy. They were rough compeTiTion for The Sopho- mores, Juniors, and Seniors on The hockey and base- ball fields. . This year, for The ErsT Time, The Freshmen Took six subiecTs. They received half a crediT for Their work in Biology and AncienT HisTory. They will follow This same program nexT year. The sysTem was changed, for many girls wished To Take AncienT History and al- 50 To Take Biology and Chemistry before graduating. Under The old sysTem This was virTuctlly impossible. AIThough The girls have more work, They can easily see The benefiTs of The sysTem. The Freshmen's class proiecT consisTed of Two bake- soles and corwashes one ofTernoon. UnforTunaTely The sky was overcosT and They did noT make quiTe as much money as They had hoped. However, They did have fun scrubbing The cars CIT The Ranger sToTion in Indian Hill 0nd OT The Church of The Redeemer in Hyde Park. The one privilege of being an upperclossmon is aTTending The Upper School dance.

The Tens The yells and screams of everything from Who'd you have a date with IaSt night? to How do you do this geometry problem? or How long did you study for the biology test? could be heard every morning from those blonde beauties who have taken over the halls of HiHsdale. Driving opened Up a new world for the Sophomores. Each girl counted the hours until she could take the test for her temporary license. The first few to pass the test were plagued by such ques- tions as What's a municipal corporation? or What is a controlled access highway? After the many hours 9f driving with one of those driving instructors, and that terrifying driving test, those soth mores were seen everywhere: Frisch's, downtown, Hyde Park Square. Both the Greens and the Golds have proved their hockey skills by defeating the Seniors and the Juniors. Sophomores awaited the hockey luncheon anxiously, wondering what it was all about, and who would make the Laurel Hockey Team. They were pleasantly surprised when some of their classmates were chosen in their Hrst eligible year. Sophomores chose the theme Teohouse of the August Moon for the Upper School Dance, and planned the oriental decorations for it. Many committee meetings and decorating sessions resulted in a Japanese atmosphere for the dance. As Sophomores these girls branched out in many extra-curricuiur activities: charity work, modeling, and cheering. Work in and out of school reveals their varied talents and interests.

The Goal ls Within Reach AH right, sevens, you may go now-I said sevens oniyl The Juniors had the privilege of calling tables in the Iunchroom this year. This was but one of the many new responsibilities of the junior class. The elevensi first project was the Harvest Fair. In the fall they began organizing the work schedules and the Variety Show. Three new games, the Sponge Throw, the Record Walk, and the Fun House were added this year. Many students and their mothers are still sampling rec- ipes from Miss Godfrey's cookbook, which was a great success. The French theme was carried out in the booth decorations as well as in the Variety Show. From December to April, the Juniors peddied candy, traditionally a senior class project. Many girls in the iunior class contributed their en- thgsiosm and leadership throughout the year as mem- bers of Student Council, the Athletic Association, the Quill and Four Corners staffs, and as chairmen of the OFFIce, Executive, and Science clubs. College loomed over the Juniors They listened ote tentively to the representatives who visited during the lunch bells. During conference one might hear, That one sounds good, but i want a co-ed colleges or Who wants to go to a junior college?! or A state university is way too big for me! Those who were only mildly frightened by the PSAT's taken in October came out of the May SAT's in a state of shock. 82 Glee Club was full of Juniors, eager for The soTo porTs in The Miracle Play, and glad To participo're in The Spring ConcerT wi'rh Country Day. TWO of The Juniors, Barbie RoTh and Rim Lillord, each represented Hillsdale for one semesTer of The ShilliTo's Sewing Board. The members of This class overrcm The parking IoT by The red barn wiTh The famous Molly Malibu, Tom- my Truck, Beuhlo Beloir, and mcmy oThers. The Juniors hove Token advchcge of The many opporTuniTies and experiences offered Them since en- Tering HiHsdole five years ago, and They are now ready To assume The responsibilifies of being Seniors.

Now we will each go separate ways to further our education in fhe fields 10 which we feel we can best dedicate ourselves. However, whether we contribute To our world, our country, or our fellow man, we have learned That no matter how petty a service may seem, ii is wholly worthwhile if we believe in if and pursue ii lo the besi of our abil- ify. ln ihe ninth grade we Cill sufiered through Fresh- man Day. Yer during This Time each studeni was drawn closer To another. Sharing a common Tribula- Tion, we bonded iogeiher To enter high school. In the lost of our high school years, we found our- selves laden with privileges which set us apart from The rest of The school. The shock was a haven of reloxaiion-an informal oimosphere in which all of us shared our thoughts, ioys, and problems. Now The class of l965 is prepared i0 face the new experiences which college life will bring; in fact, if is eager fo confront Them. For These opporTuniTies are c: necessity in challenging us to decide what kind of citizens we wish to be. 87 PATRICIA DUNCAN ADAIR MARGERY BOOTY PATTISON VICTORIA HADLEY EMERY 89 JOAN ARCHIABLE JANET KAY STEVENSON N nln U A L c M .b R R O N F.

Juniors and Faculty Bid Seniors Farewell at Luncheon t Immediately following the award assembly, the Juniors gave the annual farewell luncheon for the Seniors. For the Rrst time it was not held at school or near school, but at a studenth home, Blair Thom- son's. This otTered both advantages and disadvan- tages. The Juniors had to cart oil of the food from school to Blows. Although this was quite a task, the girls knew a refreshing dip in the pool also awaited them. All the girls who dtd not mind having wet, stringy hair went swimming, and some girls who had not planned to get wet were pushed In Some of the fac- ulty donned bathing suits, though few actually went tn. The highlight of the afternoon was the ceremony, conducted by a large group of Juniors and Sentors, of burning 0 black book. The luncheon was 0 great success and 0 grand going-oway party. Wheve is the lifeguard? 104 ttlt's Academic Team Is Victorious in First Round The student body went wild on Friday morning, March 12 when Mr. Lovett announced that the It's Academic team had won its First round. Mr. Loud, the coach, worked diligently choosing and preparing the team. In late October Fifteen Jun- iors and Seniors went to C.G.8tE. where seven girls were picked to constitute the team and the subs. Then in November and December these girls met several times to determine the definite team: Polly Adair, captain; Vicky Emery, and Monnie Gores. 105 Throughout the spring the second team, Froncie Perry, Morny Muir, Anne McLourin, and Rita Ltllord, challenged the first team in practice sessions. Then on March H the three girls Filmed the excitA ing match against Trenton and St. Henry which ended in a tie. Vicky Emery answered the sudden death question, thus winning the match for Hillsdale. The next round, hetd after spring vocation, was against Seton and Newport Public. The loss was due possibly to our team's rustiness after vacation The team won both the Great Books and Gateway to the Great Books of the Western World. Having received their diplomas, The Seniors closed the ceremonies by accompanying the school in the Alma Mater. Rabbi Vicior E. Reicherf addresses the Seniors. Malinda Mayer receives her diploma from Mr. Loveff and Mr. Hilton, presi. dent of the Board of Trustees. 106 Commencement Brings an End to the Beginning Hlllsclale's thirty-eighth annual commencement was held in Founder's Hall on June eleventh. As the Seniors walked slowly down the aisle t0 the tune of Pomp 0nd Circumstance they looked happy and proud, yet a little sad at leavvlng behind their trlends, teachers, and many experiences. Now all of these would only be memoriest Vicki Emery presented the sem'or class gift, a new phonograph and a fund for buying educational records that would be stored on shelves in the library. She pointed out the value of listening to a ploy, heartng and repeating sentences in a foreign language, and learning about places by the music or poetry of the country, The guest speaker was Dr. Victor Reichert. In speaking he quoted Robert Frost, the favorite poet of both the rabbi himselt and the senior classt He said that everyone must learn to face the fact that life goes on; no one can stop the passing of time He went on to say that everyone should set high goals for themselves and strive to accomplish them. Not everyone will reach their goals but by striving for the im- possible, wlll achieve more than those who compromise. The seniors accompanied by the tuniors in Glee club closed the ex- ercises by singing Brother Jomes' Air. A reception was held behind Founder's Hall 50 that friends and relatives of the twelves could con- gratulate them. Vicky Emery presented the Senior's gift: a phonograph and the beginning of a fund for educational records. The Seniors and the Senior Glee club sing HBrother Jumes' Aire. Inc. V In P a r 9 0 t o In P IK .m Pat McKenr Students Contribute to the Economic Community With consumer demand what it is today, it is no wonder that our economy is booming. But how many people stop to consider exactly who these consumers are? Over thirteen billion of the dollars which How through the economic cycle are put there by teen- agers. They patronize the clothing market, the food market, beauty salons, car sales, transportation cen- ters, and amusement houses. In addition, teens support culture. Within Cincin- nati they may be seen crusading for the Zoo Opera, Playhouse in the Park, and Edgeclift Academy. The seventh and eighth grade students, for example at- tended symphony concerts during the year. Many of the upperclossmen patronized the Symphony on Friday afternoons. The Seniors, after reading La Mo- Iudie lmaginuire in French, saw the performance at Edgeclift. How are many of these organizations and busi- nesses promoted? Through advertising, which is a growing business within itself. The promotion of a product may be displayed on a billboard, on tele- vision or radio, in a magazine or yearbook, Often an advertisement is equally as important to the per- son in whose magazine or yearbook it appears as it is to the advertiser. One-fourth of this yearbook is financed by patrons and advertisers. Without their support its production would not be possible.
