Co- Editors NORMAN E. WIELAND ALAN DUGAN Foreword We have tried to make this Senior Year Book, as representative of jamaica as possible, in that it is our last effort in this school. We trust it will be a pleasant reminder, in years to come, of the four years spent at jamaica. May it serve to bring back memories of the friendships and assof ciations so shortly to be broken in many instances. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude and thanks to Mr. Morris Perman, the Year Book sponsor and to the staff members who have contributed in the production -of this book. In closing, we wish our fellow graduates success, happiness and good luck. SCVCD
