CLASS OP 19 6 9 ALMA HATER Up among our towering mountains There stands a school to us so dear; Where loyal hearts and eager voices Bing out their songs of praise and cheer; A school where classmates stand together. Whose foes will never fail to yield. While we, its loyal sons and daughters, Our Alma Mater Shield. •Neath great green monarchs of our valley Where beauty lingers everywhere. Where sun's bright rays and moonlight's shadows Bring warmth and good cheer to the air. Here, in this peaceful little valley Vie'11 shout our praises to the sky.

CLASS PROPHECY Well, here It Is 197 already and the sun is really shining in downtown Miami, 'i'he gang wiki start coming in any time now. Yes sir, what did I tell you. Here comes Donny, better known as Tank , red toupee and all, with his wife Diana and their five offsprings - 3 IBM's and 2 SCM Typewriters. What a crew! Listen, it's a bird, it's a plane, no--it'8 Michael Bickford and his cackle-machine. It'9 cackling away at Spare-parts. Well I'll be hatched if it isn't Pinky who's traveling at his side. They must be the latest comedy act. What do we spy now—Well, if it isn't Laura and Beaver in their love-bug. Of course it has wings. Laura says she Just can't get along without them. After all, if it hadn't been for wings, Laura wouldn't have been dancing and romancing in far away places but she finally realized Beaver was the one and only. The next arrival is jigalo John and his harem. We told John to bring along a couple of his friends, but a car load plus a U-Haul is Just too much. I guess there's no sense in hurting his feelings, so we'll let them stay providing they don't become problems. Well, here comes Donna, better known as Hercules, and her gym class. She's now training men for the Olympios; her specialty is wrestling. e hope her class leaves soon. A'hey weren't invited and we don't want a take-over of the place. Sharron's the next to arrive with her dungarees and sweatshirt, he’s toting her record player in one arm and a papoose in the other. Her husband, Fred Warner, is carry- ing his guitar. wh t a couple! Well hello there Mike! How's your antique oar shop? We hear those model A's really turn the gals on—especially Paula. Mike's one of the five wealthiest men in the world now. Boy what a job of restoration he must hove done! It looks like the guys are really piling in now. Bob Hickey just rolled in on a motiveated stretcher with Sheila at his side, carrying his helmet. Bob was in a near fatal accident in Zig-Zag. He was trying to avoid a little old lady. Bob never could make it through Zag. The computerized Navy Just sent Lance by punch card. We never knew he was so holy. Helen finds it very difficult to get through to Lance and says she's about at the end of her ropes. It’s time for the party to begin and B0ug's still not here. What could be the matter? Oh Oh, something's spitting and sputting down the road. It's Doug all right, in a Corvette. He's driving and Cindy pushing. Dang thing wouldn't start. Whew! That must have been some trip. Now that we're all here, let s get started with it all.

SENIOR TRIP - 1969 On Friday, April 11th, at 1 A.M., the following Seniors, accompanied by our chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Daley, left for Miami Beach, Florida: Laura Sloan, Donna Coolldge, Sharron Nicholson, Donald Ashe, Michael Bickford, John Mehrman, Lance Luck, Douglas Feitshans, Michael Hartson and Robert Hickey. Traveling with us were Mr. and Mrs. Holt, Mrs. Elizabeth Hig- gins and Ilene Mossey. We arrived in Hew York City after having spent a cold night on the train. Once In New York, we transferred from Grand Central Station to Penn Station. We boarded the train Friday morning at 10 A.M. and arrived in Miami around 1 P.M. We stayed at the Georgian, a small hotel with a private beach and swimming pool. During the day the temperature ranged from 75 to 85 degrees, and the only rain came at night. On Monday, we went on the bus tour of the greater Miami area, which Included visiting Hialeah Race Track. We had a guided tour of the grounds through the aquarium and Bird Land. The fishing trip, which we went on Tuesday, started out exciting, but resulted in sea sickness for most of the members of our group. The boat tour to the Seaquarlum on Wednesday was very interesting. It's where the TV program, Flipper is taped. We saw some shows which included Flipper, a porpoise and a sea lion show. On the boat ride back we saw Millionaire How and were told to whom most of the houses belonged, how they made their millions, and how much their houses cost. We al- so saw where the Winter White Ho se was located. Thursday was our free day to do as we wished. Most of us chose to remain on the beach to soak up as much sun as possible. Among the other events which we enjoyed were a wrest- ling match, Funny Girl , Hell in the Pacific , golfing and shopping. Regretfully, we left Miami Friday, April 18th at noon, arriving in New York City about 5:30 P.M. Upon arriving, we all made a mad rush to Radio City Music Hall to catch the Easter Show and the movie, The Love Bug . We left New York at 10 P.M. and were greeted when we arrived home around 6:30 I.H. by inches of wet, heavy snow. It wa8 a trip not many of us will forget for a long time AUTOGRAPHS
