JAMES M. BENNETT HIGH SCHOOL SALISBURY, MARYLAND VOLUME I ADMINISTRATION TABLE OF ACTIVITIES CONTENTS SENIOR SPOTLIGHTS ATHLETICS ORGANIZATIONS ADVERTISEMENTS 3 As the first graduating class of James M. Bennett High School, we feel it is most fitting to dedicate this, our first yearbook, to the man for whom our school was named—James Mitchell Bennett. As a talented arid far-sighted administrator, Mr. Bennett recognized the need for better schools and better teaching. His long career, spanning a 40-year period, was devoted to im¬ proving the educational process in our county, and the fine schools stand as a tribute to the outstanding efforts of this former superintendent. We are proud that our school bears the name of so fine an educator. As we set forth, we take greater pride in dedicating this book to a man who was genuinely concerned with the future of all students, James M. Bennett. 4 OUR FIRST VOYAGE Our voyage began in 1962 . .. we doubted, we feared. The unknown lay before us— and our ship sailed in unfamiliar seas— but our course was true. At times, we lost ourselves in heavy seas ... the changing winds carried frustrations, disappointments— the port seemed far off . . . but—our crew was determined. We pushed ahead full sail .. . 8 ENDING . . . BEGINNING . Now, our journey nears its end ... the log is almost complete. With joy—and yet regret—we sight journey’s end . . . the trip was good, but it can never be taken again— We must sail on timnu ADMINISTRATION PRINCIPAL S MESSAGE i CARL W. DUMIRE You, the members of the Class of 1966, have had experiences which are most unique for high school students. Being the top class in a new school for three straight years has enabled you to exert a great influence on the‘destiny of this institution. You have helped to define our goals and chart the-course for future classes to follow. Your willingness to give unselfishly of your time and talents, your excellent leadership qualities, and your desire to serve, have played a major role in our efforts to make James M. Bennett Senior High School an outstanding school. Now that you are leaving us, I wish you well. I sincerely hope that your experiences at this school will enable you to solve the problems of adult life. If you will but meet these problems with the same vigor and zeal with which you have met the problems of the past three years, I have no fear for your future success. I extend my sincere congratulations on your graduation, and wish for each of you a long, prosper¬ ous, and happy life. £ U-U. Carl W. Dumire, Principal VICE-PRINCIPAL W. LEE HAMMOND As the first crew of the James M. Bennett Clipper is discharged, I would like to assure them that they have done much more than simply serve their time. Their unselfish devotion to their classmates and their school will serve as a shining beacon for classes to follow. This, the year of the first Senior class, has been one during which we have seen spectacular success and occasional failure, both of which have served to unite the student body and to create a spirit and cama¬ raderie that should endure well beyond graduation day. I know that you are proud to have had a large part in developing the tradition and spirit so neces¬ sary to a good school. Perhaps the best compliment that anyone could pay to your class would be: They got the job done. May it always be so. W. Lee Hammond, Vice- Principal GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT MRS. MARY FRANCES MACON MR.

Bennett High School with one goal—to succeed. Being the first graduating class, we started traditions, originated clubs, and led in athletics. The class quickly elected Student Council, class, and homeroom officers. Our first Student Council President was George Blanken¬ ship, with Karen Vickers as Vice-President; Glenda Smack as Secretary; and Joyce Franey as Treasurer. Joanne Stewart was elected class President. The office of Vice-President was held by Pat Bernstein; Secretary, Esther Simms, and Treasurer, Patti Grier. Mr. James Farley and Mrs. Mary Wertz served as class advisors to help us in our three years at Bennett. The first class project was the sale of Bennett stationery. Our first Christmas Miss”, Lynn Copony, reigned over the Holly Ball, with Elaine Farlow, attendant. Returning in September as Juniors, we felt more confident of ourselves and were ready to continue. The year’s Student Council was led by Chip Dashiell, with Jeanne Stewart, Vice-President; Mary Ruhl, Secretary; and Donna Faw, Treasurer. The class ele cted as President Lynn Copony; Vice-President, Brenda Banks; Secretary, Elaine Farlow; and Treasurer Joyce Franey. The Log staff with Becky Dunn and Susan Carey, co-editors, pub¬ lished the school newspaper. Selling decals was the Junior Class project. The Harvest Hop Queen was Gail Brown, with Lynn Copony, attendant. Joanne Stewart was crowned Christmas Miss,” with Nancy Broyhill as her attendant. After many weeks of diligent preparation, the Junior Class play, Remember Mama, was presented. March 12, 1965, marked the day we had long awaited—we received our class rings to identify us as students of James M. Bennett Senior High School. Twenty-three members of the Junior class were inducted as charter mem¬ bers of the National Honor Society. Our Junior year ended with the Junior Class trip to Williamsburg and the Junior Banquet. It had been smooth sailing for another year. Another September arrived, but this one was different—we were Seniors!!! We made our final decisions on Student Council officers. They were: Bob Harris, President; Elaine Farlow, Vice-President; and Warren Smith, Treasurer. Chip Dashiell, Jeanne Stewart, Joanne Stewart, and Donna Faw were elected class President, Vice- President, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively. Esther Simms was chosen class Historian. We proudly welcomed Berit Wasenius, our first exchange student. The class selected the following symbols: colors, jade and ivory; flower, yellow rose; song, Try to Remember;” and motto, With sails full set, we await the wind.” Mary Ann Loreman, attended by Berit Wasenius, reigned as Harvest Hop Queen. Sharon Fritz was crowned Christmas Miss” at the annual Holly Ball; Brenda Banks was her attendant. The Senior Class displayed its school spirit by winning the Spirit Ball for best attendance at football games. The class entered a float in the Christmas parade and re¬ ceived first prize. As Seniors, we entertained at the January P.T.A. program and sponsored a faculty banquet Seniors placed a red carnation on each teacher’s desk to mark his birthday. A flag representing James M. Bennett Senior High School was designed by Seniors and was presented to the school. The Senior Class presented a comedy, TAe Egg and , in December. As the year passed, ten more Seniors were inducted into the National onor Society The Seniors sponsored a Ring Dance for the Junior Class. In return, the Juniors honored the Seniors with the Junior-Senior Banquet. New York was the site of our Senior Class trip in April. Mary Ruhl and Lynn Copony were co-editors of the Voyager, Bennett’s first yearbook. The Prom and Senior awards gave us the first feelings that the year was drawing to an end. Our three years of trials and tribulations were ended by accalaureate and Commencement. We spent our last moments together as a Senior Class at the Graduation dance, sponsored by the parents. Regardless of the paths we may travel in life, we will always have one thing in common a sincere allegiance to our Alma Mater and to each other as members of the CLASS OF ’66. Esther Jane Simms Class Historian 22 THE SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Chip Dashiell, President; Jeanne Stewart, Vice President; Joanne Stewart, Secretary; Donna Faw, Treasurer; Esther Simms, Historian. CLASS OF ’66 THE SKIPPER ' S MESSAGE It was only yesterday we met. Tomorrow will find us gone, but we will remember well the things we left behind. And we will meet again, at a different time with greater understanding. So saying, he made a signal to the seamen, and straightway they weighed anchor and cast the ship loose from its moorings, and they moved east¬ ward CHIP DASHIELL MOTTO: With sails full set, we await the wind.

The school year 1965-66 was one of firsts for the students at JMB, and in keeping with this, we welcomed our first American Field Service student. Her name was Berit Wasenius, a high school stu¬ dent from Helsinki, Finland, and she won the hearts of the student body from the first. As the confusion of her first weeks in a new and entirely different school gradually subsided, she became M one of us. Although she has gone back to Fin¬ land, taking with her the hearts of the students of Bennett, she has left us a lasting memory of a wonderful girl. 51 FIRST ROW: Glenda Smack, Bonnie Meyers, Marsha Harrington, Susan Carey, Margaret Scholl, Brenda Banks; SECOND ROW: Mary Ruhl, Mary Riordan, Carol Johnson, Mary Lou Manis, Sara Ritchings, Jeanne Stewart, Lynn Copony; THIRD ROW: Bob Crawford, Dana Malone, Buck Jones, Phil Taylor, Greg Stein, Chip Dashiell, Bruce Dashiell.

The work on Junior activities has prepared us for our all important Senior year, for we gained the experience necessary to take over the responsibility left to us by the Class of ' 66. And surely the pride we acquired through our work this year will carry us through to the successful completion of our biggest year. With all this in mind, let us work to fulfill in our Senior year the prom¬ ise we have shown as Juniors. The Spirit of ' 66 is passed to the Class of ' 67. 60 SOPHOMORES ■r LEFT TO RIGHT: Patsy Donalds, Vice-President; Ginny Hanna, President; Mrs. Tingle; Mr. Miles; Susan Mann, Secretary; Nancy Hess, Treasurer.

Students must adjust themselves to the rigorous demands of high school. Leaders must step forward to guide their classmates to success. And, most important, the class itself must set its aims and goals for the next two years. The Clippers should be proud of the Class of 1968 . . . for, indeed, its members have become a valuable asset to JMB. The class council is always on the go. 62 ...

Annually, upon their return to school in the fall, Bennett students hold a Back to School Dance. This year’s dance on Sep¬ tember 10 held an unexpected surprise. A small fire broke out in the vocational wing, causing first alarm, then delight. When the fire engines appeared, it was discovered that the fire was only minor, with more smoke than flame. As the firemen left and the crowd dispersed, students resumed their dancing. But Bennett students will long re¬ member their warm welcome back to school. % Work it out!

For three days in October, 1,000 students and advisors from Maryland high schools converged on the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center for the annual Maryland Association of Student Councils’ conven¬ tion. Co-hosted by Bennett and Wicomico Senior High, the convention required months of preparation. Lynn Copony’s housing committee spent much of the summer vacation canvassing Salisbury to find homes for the delegates. Donna Faw and her committee planned the banquet and dance with a Showboat theme which was held on Friday night. Dave Mann Convention site. Ready for business. arranged transportation for the delegates. Bob Harris planned the general assemblies which were presided over by Joi Langstaff, who also served as convention chairman. Bennett’s Beckey Parker served as secretary for the state organization. Discussion group chairmen came from many state high schools; Bennett supplied four of these: Chip Dashiell, Elaine Farlow, Donna Faw, and Bob Harris. Bob and Elaine were also voting delegates, as were George Blankenship, Joyce Kamanitz and Warren Smith. During the convention, delegates attended dis¬ cussion groups, general assemblies, and business meet¬ ings to discuss problems, learn new ideas, and elect officers for the coming year. The delegations left on Saturday afternoon, weary, but with plans for bigger and better Student Councils. There were promises to write and to renew friendships at summer leadership workshops and at next year’s MASC convention in Prince George’s County. This is Salisbury? THANKSGIVING DAY Ah—the pause that refreshes! Malone makes it 20-0!! Happiness is winning the Turkey Day game. For three years, Bennett had looked forward to Thanksgiving ’66—the day when the Clippers would prove themselves to the . city of Salisbury. After two years of playing Varsity football under the label of Little Jimmy Bennett , the Clippers scalped Wi-Hi 20-0. With the ball carriers grind¬ ing out the yardage under the protection of the linemen, the Clippers sailed down the Wicomico County Stadium field to a decisive victory. Anxious moments . . . Cool shower after a hot game. A victorious team hits the showers—and the coaches! 85 WINTER After much hard work and lots of fun, the Senior class float was finished. To the delight of Mike Fisher and his staff, the float won first prize in the Christmas Parade. An impressive tradition was inaugurated by Bennett’s first seniors at the January PTA meet¬ ing. In a review of the class history, the high points and memories of the past four years were portrayed by the Seniors. Next, in the darkened cafetorium, came the highlight of the evening—a candlelight service. Members of the class filed in to the strains of the class song, ’Try to Remember,” lighting the small candles they held from a larger one, signi¬ fying the undying spirit of the Class of ' 66. r J i.

The setting was Bennett’s own Peppermint Lounge, and refreshments were served to thirsty dancers in the Holly Hut. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of this year’s Holly Ball Queen, Sharon Fritz, by last year’s queen, Joanne Stewart. Sharon’s attendants were Berit Wasenius and Brenda Banks of the Senior class, Juniors Terry Hitchens and Paula Hishmeh, Brenda Townsend and Donna Kamanitz of the Sophomore class, and Fresh¬ men Kathy Hause and Sallye Dickey.

Christmas Miss and her court. 87 RING DANCE Another Bennett tradition was established in 1966 when the Seniors sponsored a Ring Dance in honor of the Juniors, who received their class rings. The South Sea Island theme centered around a treasure chest containing a giant Bennett ring. Tying in with the theme were clipper ships and ’67 signs on the walls. Music was provided by the Chevelles. Second generation Clippers It’s too much—I can’t Ber-it! The line-up.

FAIR EXCHANGE You want my hair how long by opening night? How romantic. Is he or isn’t he? This was the question around which the Junior class play, Fair Exchange by Kurtz Gorden, revolved. This production, directed by Mrs. Barbara Hughes, deals with a student exchange affair dreamed up by an overly romantic school teacher. Doubt arises as to the identity of one of the exchange students and is confirmed when he abducts his date to the prom. Thanks to the police, a courageous boyfriend, an irate father, and a curious sister, all ends well. Well, my dears . . 89 ’ ' Take me back to Manhattan. ' Cast and crew. ANYTHING GOES Anything can happen when people ex¬ change partners for marriage, a former evan¬ gelist-turned-nightclub-singer falls for a very proper English nobleman, and gangsters dress up as clergymen aboard the SS Americana. That goes to show anything goes.” Cole Porter’s popular musical, Anything Goes , presented on May 4, 5, and 6, featured a cast, singers and dancers drawn from the en¬ tire student body. Directed by Mr. George Vol- enik and managed by Greg Stein, with the or¬ chestra led by Mr. Charles Smith, and the choir by Miss Anne Vincent, the musical- comedy was a highlight of the year. Was that a crack at my pins? If I’m the bottom . . . you’re the top. 90 INAUGURAL BALL Dancing under a pink and white canopy of crepe paper to the music of The Coachmen, students attended the annual Inaugural Ball, which was held in honor of the present and newly-elected class and Student Council officers. Colorful merry-go-round horses on the cafetorium walls and a streamered door¬ way added to the gay theme of Carousel. The con¬ cession stand, in keeping with the general theme of the dance, featured a cafe under yellow crepe paper and daisies. Tired, George? Let there be light! This isn’t class business. 91 ORGANIZATIONS FIRST ROW: Hunter Smith, Betty Parker, Mary Lou Smoot, Bob Harris, Elaine Farlow, Joyce Kamamitz, Warren Smith, Chip Dashiell, Brad Jarman, Ginny Hanna, Cheryl Lowe; SECOND ROW: Jimmy Schneider, Chris Rayne, Julie Bounds, Susan Carey, Donna Kamamitz, Joan Sharpe, Sandy Lemmerman, Susan Fogel, Rusty Winchester, Karen Kleger, Terry Bailey, Fara Giganti; THIRD ROW: Bonnie Web¬ ster, Marian Thompson, Patty Lemmerman, Nancy Feaster, Gail Brown, Brenda Banks, Colleen Mobray, Donna Day, Irving Shen, Linda Downing, Susan Broyhill, Glenda Tawes; FOURTH ROW: Mary Mace, Patty Moore, Lynn Copony, Steve Hearne, Gail Luffman, Bill Dayton, Ted Nichols, Jeff Turner, Russ Dashiell, Ken Cooper, John Andrews, Gary Chandler, Pat Massa, Jeff Algatt, Susan Mann, Terry Hitchens; FIFTH ROW: Donna Faw, Patti Grier, Donna Pruitt, Bernard Jarman, Martin Smith. STUDENT COUNCIL The Bennett High Student Council found smooth sailing during 1965-66 under the steady guidance of President Bob Harris. With his able crew, Vice Presi¬ dent Elaine Farlow, Secretary Joyce Kamanitz, Treasurer Warren Smith, and Parliamentarian Mary Lou Smoot, and hardworking committees, the Student Council made headway in sponsoring many valuable and worthwhile projects, dances, and other school functions. The drive and enthusiasm in the Help Randy Campaign was high as the student body donated clothing for an im¬ poverished family in Kentucky in exchange for Christ¬ mas greenery. The Student Council Constitution was revised to apply to a Senior high school and was passed by the Student Body. With money raised from collec¬ tions in the homerooms the Student Council took on the responsibility of adopting a foster child from Asia. Packages were sent to American soldiers and orphans in Viet Nam and plans were made to sponsor a safety billboard. Mr. John Clinton and Mr. Mahlon Trout were the advisors.

This year’s officers were Mary Anna Gavarinski, President; Keith Fleming, Vice-President; and Robert Wil¬ liams, Secretary-Treasurer. The club advisor is the school librarian, Mrs. Guinevere Curtiss.

HIGH SCHOOL CHALLENGE What effects did the Claytoft Act of 1914 and the Norris-La Guardia Act of 1932 have on unions? This is the type of question which confronted the four members of the High School Challenge Team. Chosen on the basis of scholarship, the Bennett representatives faced the cameras and de¬ feated John M. Clayton 70-40. The following week the tables were turned when Bennett fell to Sea- ford, 175-160. NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP FINALISTS Bennett is very fortunate to have in its graduating class two National Merit Scholarship finalists.

Some of the accomplishments of the choir included a Christmas and Spring Concert, and the presentation of several assemblies to the student body. Along with their school functions, the choir presented programs for various community groups. This year two students represented Bennett in the All-State Choir held in Baltimore.

BAND James M. Bennett’s band saw quite a successful year in 1966. Having placed third in the Jaycee Christmas Parade, the musicians went on to earn a superior rating at the district band festival held in Easton. This en¬ titled them to compete in the State contest at College Park. Under the expert direction of Mr. Charles Smith, the band presented their annual spring concert to the student body and parents. Accenting the marching strains of the band were Bennett’s majorettes. Under the direction of Mrs. Patsy McWilliams, the girls’ hard work was evident in their spirited routines which added flavor to all performances.

VARSITY FOOTBALL The James M. Bennett varsity football team proved this year that the Clippers were for real.” Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Yobst, Mr. Bailey, Mr. Gallis, and Mr. Briscoe, the Clippers rolled up an impressive record of 6 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie, plus a decisive victory over J.M.B.’s arch- rival, Wicomico High School, by the score of 20-0. The Big Red” had a very strong team both offensively and defensively, accumulating a total of 103 points, and giving up only 46 points. Individual statistics showed that Mike Dashiell, Bennett’s galloping quarterback, was the leading ground gainer with 660 yards. Dana Malone was second with 435 yards. With 11 returning lettermen and several promising members of an undefeated J.V. team, Ben¬ nett’s gridiron future will be a success.

With great speed and excellent blocking, the Clippers were able either to bang through the line or sweep around it. Such speedsters as quar¬ terback Mike Dashiell and halfbacks Bill Cerniglia and John Williams made Bennett one of the fastest teams on the Eastern Shore. McGuirk gets smothered.

JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL The future for James M. Bennett on the gridiron looks exceedingly bright as our Junior Varsity football team completed an undefeated season, winning 6 and tying 1. The highlights of the season were their two decisive victories over the Wi-Hi J.V.’s and the conquering of a heavier Delmar team after their first skirmish ended in a scoreless tie. C. J. Travers, Cam Jackson, and Benjamin Cox were the leading ground gainers for the J.V.’s. A few of the players participated in some varsity games and therefore shoul d have little difficulty in adjusting to varsity caliber next season. Much credit should be given to Coach Gallis and Coach Briscoe, who both felt that a ' team effort every game” contributed to the success of the team. Break away.

Although hampered by numerous injuries, the JMB soccer team concluded its 1965 season with a creditable record of five wins and five losses. The team finished second among the county’s four soccer teams, with two of the five victories overcoming Bennett’s archrival WiHi. The team, coached by Mr. James Little and Mr. Edward Carey, and captained by David Smith, showed fine spirit and ability while opposing more experienced teams. Bennett kicks off.

WRESTLING The 1965-66 season was primarily a building one for Bennett’s young wrestling team. Although compiling a record of only one victory and seven defeats, Coach Briscoe was pleased as nearly every boy won at least one match. With a core of 10 returning var¬ sity wrestlers, the team looks forward to a better season next year.

Their main undoing was a plague of injuries which struck them during the last part of the season. The team, which was made up of eight Seniors, two Juniors, and three Sophomores, was coached by Mr. Kiley. The high scorer for the season was Roger Dillow with 248 points, followed by Terry Sullivaa with 196 points. Since this was a young team, it is hard to see anything but success in the years to come.

Tom Guy was the team’s consistent high scorer. Many people fail to see the importance of a J.V. team, but in the following years these boys will make up the varsity squad, and it is certain that they will be great assets to the varsity team in the years to come.

Bennett’s netters had a winning season this year with a record of 8 wins and 2 losses. The team’s victims included Milford High, Caesar Rodney High, and the Towson State College Jayvees, all of whom were two-time losers to the Bennett tennis squad. The team avenged its two losses to Cambridge High last year by soundly beating this opponent 6-3 and 7-2. Although the two losses to WiHi marred the team’s rec¬ ord, Brad Jarman took some of the sting out of the defeat when he overcame the highly rated Jack Stevenson 4-6, 8-6, 6-0. Another notable achievement was the unbeaten doubles record of Brad Jarman and C. J. Travers. Next year the team will be without the services of Bernard Jarman, Glen Pearson, Brad Feig, and Bob Hush, all of whom graduated this year.

TRACK Bennett’s track team completed a highly successful season by tying for 10th place in the State Track meet. The Bennett team, coached by Mr. Bailey and Mr. Yobst, had an enviable record, being undefeated in its four dual meets. These includ¬ ed victories over Cambridge, Easton, Washington, and Stephen Decatur. Bennett, however, was crippled by a rash of injuries which caused poor performances by the team in the District Meet. Bennett set many outstanding records. Jeff Polk ran the 100 yard dash in 10.9 seconds, placing 3rd in that event at the State Meet and tying an existing- state record; in the broad jump, his distance was 22Tl 2 ”. Eugene Smith ran the 220 yard dash in 21.4 seconds and placed 2nd in that event in the State Meet. The 880 yard relay team composed of Eugene Smith, Bill Smullen, Page Jackson, and Bill Cer¬ niglia, tied for 4th place in the State Meet with a time of 133.9.

BASEBALL Bennett ' s baseball team ended a highly successful season with a record of 10 wins and two losses. One of these victories was over Wicomico High by a score of 4-2. This victory ended WiHi’s 41 game winning streak. Rusty Evans, a Junior with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses, was the winningest” pitcher. Tom Landry also supplied a helping hand later in the season and ended with a record of 2 wins and no losses. Some of the outstanding players this year were Tom Henderson, Buck Jones, Rusty Evans, and Tom Landry. Since the majority of the team will return next year, Bennett’s future on the baseball diamond looks bright. The tcfll mounts ... another run!

Every sporting event saw them there leading the crowds to cheer the Clippers in both victory and defeat. When the events were away from Bennett, they recruited the crowd by arranging for rooter buses. In order to excite the fans, they held pep rallies for the entire student body and plastered the walls with signs. Not only did they help Bennett keep its image as a school with a lot of spirit, but they showed our teams that they really rated.

A great ship, sharp, with three square rigged masts built to answer the wind. Scores of workmen, sail makers, sparmaker, and riggers, all men of action, knew the pride of making this ship grow. After she was built, others strove to make her rise to the chal¬ lenge. Sheltering glorious memories, we had built her with spirit. We will always remember well this spirit that bound our building, and the friendships where thoughts, desires and expectations were born and shared. Between us there was a bond of the sea. This ship had her own future, full of hope, superior in size —the greatest, swiftest and the most beautiful craft ever seen, to sail on forever in the hearts of all those who thrill to a challenge. This ship is ready. Patiently has the wind awaited the preparation of the ship, but now it waits no longer. We are ready. It was only yesterday we met. Tomorrow will find us gone, but we will remember well the things we left behind. And we will meet again at a different time with greater understanding.

Bennett as the finest high school in our great educational system. We shall always remember your exciting, faithful school spirit . . . your hard-fought victories . . . your many, many accomplish¬ ments . . . your outstanding scholastic achievements. You have been a class working harder, together, to make Little Jimmy Bennett grow up to highest recognition. On behalf of the James M.

These are only a few of the more obvious duties of the yearbook staff. Behind the scenes, workers stay after school daily to crop and identify pictures, write copy and maybe even shed a few tears. In this, our first volume of the Voyager, we, the editors and staff, hope that our efforts have been rewarded and that the students of Bennett High will fondly keep the 1966 Voyager as a memory of a wonderful year. The editorial staff of the Voyager would like to thank the following people for their co-operation and as¬ sistance in publishing the first yearbook: Mr. Carl W. Dumire, for allowing us to take class time for photography; David Lank and Mike Dixon for taking and developing pictures; and all the others who have helped us during the year with little or no thanks. We would like to extend a warm thanks” to Mrs. Streib, our advisor, who gave of her valuable time to guide us and to make our yearbook possible. In years to come, we will return to find many more volumes of the Voyager on the shelves in our library, probably bigger and, we hope, better than this one, but for the class of ’66, this volume will be still another first for James M. Bennett Senior High School. oK Co-editor of the Voyager, 1966
