Le Lycee Francais de Los Angeles - Actualites Yearbook (Los Angeles, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 185 of the 1973 volume:

1972-1973 L W M t ry. g To all those who have helped make this time at Le Lycee Frangais de Los Angeles an experience of real sharing and growth, this Yearbook is gratefully dedicated. Ce Yearbook est dedie a tous ceux qui nous ont aides a faire de notre projet une realite. %jj % t . ■ ■ i OVERLAND FOUNDERS RAYMOND KABBAZ ESTHER KABBAZ MESSAGE DU As we look back upon the year now ending, there is more truth than ever to the saying that change is life. We are caught up in the age of Future Shock, in which change itself is a challenge that faces us all. This challenge is one that will affect not only the class of 1973, but all of us here at Le Lycee . We cannot learn change, for we do not know what changes lie in store. What we can do --and what we are doing at Le Lycee-- is to train each of our students to cope with change; to provide each stu- dent with the rational capability to deal with the world on his own terms . The past year has been one of great accomplishment, both for those who are now graduating, and for those who are still striving for aca- demic excellence. The purpose of a yearbook is to record the events and personalities of now. When you leaf through this book in the years ahead, you will recall fondly the many adventures and exper- iences which you shared here at Le Lycee . The end of another school year is another milestone. For all of us, it is the end of one phase of experience while another phase lies ahead, full of challenges and uncertainty. We urge you all to meet those challenges head-on; to apply yourselves to the tasks ahead and to develop fully your own capabilities so that you may take your proper place in society. We are confident, that with diligent appli- cation, there are no limits to your future success. This is also an appropriate time to note our special gratitude to those friends of Le Lycee who have supported the school over the past year. We also thank our many friends who have helped make this yearbook possible through their financial assistance and advertising. These friends have demonstrated their endorsement of Le Lycee. Let us, in turn, support their efforts as well. RAYMOND KABBAZ Mr. Jean-Herve Donnard Cultural Counselor to the French Embassy Honorary President of the Board M. Jean-Francois Roux Consul General de France a Los Angeles Honorary Chairman of the Board Mme Lily Dache Hon. Co- President Le Lycee Mr. Jean Despres Hon. Co- President Le Lycee Diseours d ' usage a Voccation de la distribution solennelle des prix 1972 Monsieur et Madame Kabbaz, Presidents du Lycee Francais de Los Angeles, ra ' ont invite a prononcer ce jour le diseours d ' usage. J ' ai feuillete mon Littre et j ' ai decouvert qu ' un diseours se dit de tout ce qui est prononce avec une certaine methode et une certaine longueur . Pauvres enfants qui craignez deja de subir le dernier pensum de l ' annee; mais au risque d ' etre desavoue par les admirateurs de Littre, je n ' ai pas trouve de plan et j ' essaierai d ' etre bref. Habituellement dans nos lycees et colleges francais, le diseours d ' usage est impose au plus jeune professeur qui essaie ce jour-la de briller devant les autorites univer- sitaires et administratives . Je ne suis plus jeune, je n ' ai pas de pro- viseur a contenter et mes rapports d ' amitie avec Monsieur le Consul General, qui preside cette ceremonie, ne m ' amenent pas a le considerer comme un Prefet. Mors, si vous le voulez bien, nous allons parler de 1 ' usage. L ' usage, e ' est d ' abord la pratique que l ' anciennete ou la fre- quence rend normal dans une societe donnee. Le diseours d ' usage, e ' est le diseours rendu traditionnel par les coutumes ou les habitudes; il fait partie du ceremonial et de 1 ' etiquette requis dans ces distributions de prix. Et ceci indique qu ' on appartient a une societe qui a des regies; par extension, cela signifie qu ' on a des usages, qu ' on sait observer des regies de bienseance, qu ' on pratique la civilite et les convenances. Aussi, ne devons-nous pas nous etonner si les deux auteurs qui ont le mieux parle des distributions de prix, sont Confucius et Alain qui ont base leur morale sur la pratique des rites et 1 ' observation de la politasse. Et pour rester dans la tradition, comme tout diseours de dis- tribution de prix doit comporter une lecon, je vous dirai simplement, chers enfants, soyez polis pour vivre en societe, pour vivre a la ville disaient les Grecs) et d ' autant plus que la ville est plus grande. Mais l ' usage, e ' est egalement la mise en oeuvre de 1 ' ensemble des elements du langage par la parole; l ' usage, e ' est l ' expression verbale de la pensee. Le titre de l ' une des meilleurs grammaires qui aient ja ete ecrites, celle de 1 ' auteur beige Grevisse est simplement le bon usage . Alors,permettez moi dans cette enceinte et a l ' occasion de la distribution des prix du Lycee Francais de Los Angeles, de plaider pour le bon et bel usage de la langue francaise. Je le ferai pour rendre hommage aux fondateurs qui ont donne ce nom a leur etablissement et en raison du fait que le Gouvernenent Francais dont je suis ici le delegue culturel, accorde son patronage a cette institution, lui fournit des pro- fesseurs et distribue des bourses aux enfants de corapatriotes meritants. Mais nous soiruaes en situation de bilinguisme dans cette dynanique Cali- fornie qui sait si bien assimiler ses residents; et notre langue est une modeste violette qui risque toujours d ' etre etouffee par sa rivale omnipresente et fanee par les fumees du smog, avant de pouvoir s ' epa- nouir. Chers parents, qui confiez vos enfants a ce Lycee pour que vos enfants parlent et pensent francais, avez-vous deja reflechi que beau- coup d ' entre e ux n ' entendent le francais que durant les cours; a la raaison, on parle anglais; dans la rue, on parle anglais; au cinema, on parle anglais; en recreation, on parle anglais. En plein accord avec la Directrice de 1 ' Etablissement , nous essaierons de faire qu ' un plus grand nombre d ' enseignants francais titu- laires soient recrutes pour que le maximum de cours soient donnes en francais. Nous ne recourrons pas a ces extremites que j ' ai connues en Afrique ou des Peres Missionnaires donnaient des coups de baguette a leurs pensionnaires qui s ' exprimaient dans leur langue maternelle en recreation. Mais nous avons confiance dans le caractere dynanique de notre langue pour que, dans le cadre des nesures pedagogiques que nous allons adopter des la rentree prochaine, tous les enfants de cet eta- blissement soient de vrais bilingues, en mesure de penser et de s ' ex- primer dans les deux langues. Ce faisant, nous estimons que nous aurons rendu service aux parents francais expatries temporaires, dont les enfants auront pu con- tinuer a suivre le cursus francais, aux enfants de nos compatriotes ins- talled ici et qui veulent garder des liens avec la mere patrie, aux en- fants que nos amis etrangers ou americains nous ont confies, et enfin a la Grande Republique amie qui nous accueille ici et qui permet par ces liens tisses des le plus jeune age de developper et d ' accroitre l ' en- tente cordiale entre nos deux peuples et nos deux civilisations. Raymond Meuville Attache Culturel de France pour la Californie du Sud et de 1 ' Arizona A L ' INTENTION DE MES EL EVES HOMMAGE A ANNE CHOPINET A dix-huit ans Anne Chopinet a ete recue premiere a Polytechnique et elle a battu tous les garc ons . Anne n ' est pas un genie, mais elle est douee; elle est douee en maths, en physique, en Franc;ais et meme en en dessin et en Russe. Anne est anormalement normale. C ' est ainsi qu ' on avait qualifie nos trois astronautes: Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, et Edwin Aldrin, Jr. lorsqu ' ils firent leurs premiers pas sur la lune . Anne a subi trente heures de cours par semaine, dont seize de maths, ce qui laisse peu de temps ou pas du tout pour les loisirs: Cela demande un effort physique considerable et une docilite intellectuelle remarquable, constate son professeur du Lycee Condor cet, Mr. Adler. Anne est la premiere fille a rentrer a Polytechnique. Sa reus site est extraordinaire puisque Polytechnique est une ecole militaire; d ' ailleurs Anne devra faire son service militaire. Elle pourra devenir ingenieur du Genie Maritime et construire des cuirasses, des sous-marins, inge- nieur de l ' Armement et calculer des canons, elaborer des explosifs , si elle le desire ! En attendant, Anne a provoque 1 ' admiration de toute la France et malgre son succes elle est restee une grande jeune fille toute simple. C ' est pourquoi nous avons choisi de lui rendre hommage en lui dediant ce recueil des souvenirs de l ' annee. Souhaitons que son courage, sa simplicite inspirent nos eleves et qu ' il y ait de plus en plus des Anne Chopinet! ESTHER KABBAZ Directeur des Etudes Le Laboratoire et la Fusee.

This week the noted de- signer, whose career was launched world-wide with her chapeau creations, arrived in Los Angeles hat- less. Women ' s hats are in fashion today, but I per- sonally will never make them again, she says with a determined firming of her chin. Women ' s fash- ion is so very simple today and there is such imagina- tivehair styles, a woman only needs a little stocking cap for the wind. Small, pixie-like in her blonde wig and elaborately embroidered black sweat- er and pants set, all of which are self-designed, she looks at her husband of 42 years with a mis- chievious grin as she an- nounces, After all, a woman ' s finest accessory is a man. He is Jean Despres, French-born (as is his wife) who came to the United States in 1922 as a perfumer to assist for a few weeks at Coty ' s and stayed for 50-years with that firm, retiring only recently. The couple met on a blind date in New York, where she arrived in 1924 with a few dollars, high hopes and a sense of big adventure. From the beginning the couple loved to travel and honeymooned for 21 days about the United States on 21 different trains. They have only recently com- pleted a 90-day around the world trip to celebrate his retirement and are en route to Mexico, where he has a separate business established. We live six-months in Paris and six-months in New York and travel to Los Angeles at least once a year, Miss Dache ' ex- plains. New York time is divided between a 200 acre farm in Bedford, and a penthouse in the city. One of the first women ' s fashion designers to go into menswear, Miss Dache ' s trip to the west coast is to select materials for the line of men ' s neckties which she designs for Cas- tle Neckwear, headquar- tered on Maple St., Los Angeles. Her menswear line is added to designs ot wigs, fragrances, cosmetics, interior decorating and architecture, but, mention the name, Lilly Dache, and the average woman still thinks of hats. She still remembers her first commercial hat. It was a cloche like what they are wearing now, with cherries tied with a bow. Periodically I brought it back. Simple fashions always repeat themselves. Marian Davies bought one, I remember. Her love of cherries goes back to her childhood. Mother told me I was ugly. I had protuding teeth. So I used to drape things around my head . . . scarfs with cherries pinned to them . . . and dangle cherries from my ears. Do girls still do things like that? In the new Eleanor and Franklin book a par- agraph refers to the six blue velvet hat designs Miss Dache sent Mrs. Roosevelt from which to make a selection. She kept them all. Mrs. Roosevelt was a very charming person . . . a magnificent person, recalls the designer. But, it wasn ' t only velvet hats. She had a friend, June Hamilton Rhodes, who represented the velvet industry and who talked her into wearing blue vel- vet nightgowns. They were known as the Eleanor Blue Velvet Nightgown, she li ' Today ' s Woman Needs Only A Little Stocking Cap For The Wind ' ...Lilly Dache Miss Dache introduced in 1942 (upper left) a Russian cos- sack type hat in black rabbit ' s wool with rows of red, green, and blue tassels and, in 1945 (upper right) a bonnet of turquoise net with brim of lavender taffeta and heaped with plastic flowers. Lilly Dache gained fame and fortune in the fashion world through the fluff and feathers of her women ' s hat designs. Since branching into cos- metics, jewelry, women ' s wear and, latest of all, menswear designs, she has declared, I will not design hats anymore. The reason for her deci- sion, even in a year that brings hats back to the fashion horizon stronger than ever, is that she be- lieves she has reached a point when her fashion should be for everyone. My hats were custom- made. They were one-of-a- kind. They had to be ex- pensive. Too expensive. One of the loveliest Lilly Dache de- signs, introduced in 1943, was a small white fox body tilted over the eye and trimmed in black bird wings (left) and another, introduced in the spring of 1945, was the tilted turban of curled blue-white feathers and pink and white roses (above). i?

However, she wears thres gold bracelets and multiple rings to accessorize her lavishly embroidered and appliqued black swearer and pants set. Below, her husband of 42 years, Jean Despres, who just retired after 50 years as an executive with Coty, chats with Eleanor Lambert of New York, a cocktail guest. isTf In Los Angeles to seiet :s3.-tment of materials fo which are manufactured here, tf ive Lilly Dache takes time out to share h f view on fashion, marriage, men, birthdays and raising daughters. 13 Lilly Dache: ' Til Never Make Another Hat ' says, again flashing the pixie grin. Cole Porter ... I knew him. but not as well as I should have known him, if you understand me . . . considered Lilly Dache his lucky charm. He either used a line about her in one song of each of his musical come- dies, or he placed a big hat box with her name on it on stage in one of the scenes. Miss Dache notes, from a 1958 trip to Russia, that there were only two powders, light and dark, available to wom- en: one rouge shade; two lip- sticks; and teeth were filled with steel. Things like ap- ples cost a dollar a piece, so there were lots of kinds of breads and the women were very stocky. she recalls. Girls on the street would Come up and try to buy my shoes. From the more recent world tour, the fashion pic- ture seems to have changed. In the cities, much is alike. The influence of America, brought by films and tour- ists, is apparent in every ma- jor city. Miss Dache was first asked to do menswear as a cos- tume (now in the Metropoli- tan Museum) effort, but is now seriously in the practi- cal end of design. I like double-knits; I like comforta- ble fabrics; of course, I like pure silk, but it is expensive. My hats were all custom- made, but we must do fash- ion today that everybody can have. A shirt doesn t have to be individual. The liberated male is the new bird of paradise in fash- ion. Men should experiment with collar styles and should concentrate less on keeping their hair and more on using cosmetically what they have or can grow to improve their facial contours or reduce their years. She looks across the Centu- ry PJa .a room at her hus- band. I made Jean grow a moustache. See. il look 20 years off his face Hut he will wear those light sports ' jack- ets; even in New York he does. 1 suppose some girl told him how devastating he looks. His grin is appreciative. Miss Dache, who predicts a return of vests in silk bro- cades or lush velvets . . . At the Coty Awards the women all looked simple but the men were in flowing vel- vet and looked as if they had permanent waves . . . also prefers her husband in white shirt and white tie. His tie has the tiniest of initials hand-embroidered in the low- er left coiner. Both Miss Dache and her husband share an Oct. 12 birthday but she . . . Wom- en m the middle years should abolish their birthdays; even if a girl of 15 brags about her age it will catch up with her some day . . . doesn ' t cele- brate her birthday. I cele- brate his! I feel 19 and when you feel 19 you are permitted a great many things. Choosing to keep her maid- en name, bolh socially and professionally. Miss Dache is one of the first business women to do so . . . I will always be a Miss . . . and her husband does not object Even when I call the offk p and speak to her secretary I find myself asking for Miss Dache. I think I was raised right. The c o u p 1 e have one daughter, Suzanne Dache. 21. who is now holding her first job with Eleanor Lambert m New York. She doesn ' t like the boyfriends 1 like ' Miss Dache bemoans, but I think she imitates me. She twists her father around her finger. I love young people and I pay heed to them. I copied my daughter ' s foundation makeup. Of course, it didn ' t look the same on me. but it was better than what I had been wearing. To the age-worn question of how a woman can com- bine a successful marriage and a successful career. Miss Dache comments, The more I had to do the better I like it and the more I could do. I put first things first. First is my husband. In New York we live in the top two floors of a 12-story building I built. I never take my business to those top two floors. For many years I had a French housekeeper who was Jean ' s nanny. We always spoke French at home and now she lives in Pans and, at 9fi. still doesn ' t know a word of English. You can get married . . . anyone can get married . . . but staying married is some- thing different. We didn ' t fight and argue and say ' boom, boom ' ... we did boom, boom! 14 LE LYCEE FRANCAIS DE LOS ANGEL HONORARY CHAIRMAN of the BOARD of TRUSTEES Consul General de France M.

Now ' s the time to press the air apart And stand submerged by pollen siftings And the driftings of those oiled and soundless wings Which scribble waves of ink and water Flourished eye-wink fluttering and scurry Paradox of poise and hurry, Standing still while spun-wound-bursting to depart, Swift migrations of the heart of universe Which surfs the wind and pulses awe; Thirsting bird or artful thought the same, Sight, not staring, wins the game, 22 Touch but do not trap things with the eyes, Glance off, encouraging surprise; Doing and being. . .these the true twins of eternal seeing, Thinking comes later. For now, balance at the equator of morn ' s midnight With wordless welcome, beckon in the days But shout not, nor make motion, Tremble not the sea or ocean of be ing Where thoughts in rounded flight fast-fleeing Stone-pebble-skip Across the surface of calm mind; Pretend at being blind which calls truth near. . . Until the hummingbirds , The hummingbirds , The humming- -birds Ten billion gyroscopes, Swoop in to touch, Spin, Whisper, Balance, Sweet migrations of gossip in each ear.

According to Lycee Presi dent Raymond Kabbaz, this year ' s student body is one of the largest ever, with more than 235 youngsters enrolled. We ' re exceptionally gratified, said M. Kabbaz, to see this con- tinued growth in the Lycee and the concept of the Lycee education. In seven short years, we have made many, many friends in Los Angeles, and have been responsible for the education of hundreds upon hundreds of children. We look forward to this new year with hopes of even greater academic achievement, as well as physical growth. A major new construction project on the Overland campus is the building of the new science lab. If construction stays on schedule, the new laboratory should be com- pleted by early December. The science lab is an achievement of which we can all be proud, explained M. Kabbaz. This is a truly cooperative effort, and one that has been a strong priority for us at the school. The federal government has already committed to under- write the cost of equipping the new lab with necessary scientific appar- atus, on the condition that we provide the lab itself. Part of the cost of con- struction was contributed over the summer months by parents and Friends of the Lycee who donated generously to our building fund. We would like to thank the following friends of the school for their support or this most-needed project: Mr. and Mrs. M. Batterman, Dr. and Mrs. Jasper J. Blystone, Mrs. der la Poterie, Mr. and Mrs. G. M. De Oliensis, Mrs. E. A. Foster, Mr. and Mrs. S. M.

M. Mannoni has spent time in the U. S. previously, with graduate studies at USC; (Continued on page 2) Parent Meetings Scheduled Le Lycee Francais de Los An- geles is pleased to announce a new series of informal get-togethers for all parents with the administration of the school. According to Lycee Trustee Dr. Marvin Stern, the meetings will be held at the school once each trimester, and are open to all par- ents. The first meeting will be announced shortly. For those parents with children who are French nationals, a trimes- ter get-together has been planned to discuss specific problems concerning the future education of their chil- dren upon their return to France. Under the auspices of the Associa- tion of Parents of French Students, the meetings (held in French, of course) are open to all parents who have children registered with the French Consulate. Parents will be contacted by the association. In addition to scheduled meet- ings, Mr. and Mrs. Kabbaz are both available to meet with individual parents upon appointment. The new science laboratory is nearing completion, as Mr. and Mrs. Kabbaz review architectural drawings. Barring any last minute delays, the new facility should be completed by early December. 46 French Consul General Jean-Francois Roux (left) chats with Lycee graduate Sylvie Lestrade, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacques Lestrade. Second from left is Madame Roux; at right is Raymond Kabbaz, president of Le Lycee Franca is de Los Angeles. Eight Graduate in June Eight Lycee scholars graduated in June at ceremonies held at the Granada Theater, West Hollywood. The commencement address was delivered by Raymond Neuville, French Cultural Attache in Los Angeles, following an address by French Consul General Jean-Francois Roux. Graduating seniors included Elizabeth Arlen, Michele Hormel, Charles Jany, Sylvie Lestrade, Homer Luke, Melanie McLaughlin, Valerie Rubsamen and Carla Sanguineti. While all students planned to enter college this fall (with the excep- tion of Miss Lestrade, who is now sailing around the world with her family), Misses Hormel and McLaughlin were admitted to the undergraduate level with honors at entrance. Miss Hormel is attending Pepperdine University, Malibu, and Miss McLaughlin, USC. 7e Student rfdvottccet Ten Lycee students have been admitted for partial studies at west- side universities while completing their secondary education at Le Lycee. Eight have been selected for special classes at West Los Angeles University, and one at UCLA. Attending West Los Angeles University are Linda Wilks, Kathy Fisher, Carole Bonnefil, Valerie Stern, Jane Lawson, Tarik Moni- soglu, Rita Brown, Christine Carreon and Randy Berrie. Donelle Dadigan has been admitted for special classes at UCLA. Nothing could better illustrate the inherent value of the Lycee concept, explained Raymond Kab- baz, than this strong endorsement of the quality of our students by major universities. The typical Lycee student is far ahead of his public school contemporary in in- tellectual awareness and the disci- pline required to master the con- tinuing academic challenge. This is the first time our students have been allowed to enroll for university level classes while still attending the Lycee. We expect it to become the norm in years ahead. Kenneth B.

As a continuing service to parents, Le Lycee is once again offering French classes for parents of Lycee students, as well as friends of the Lycee. The program will begin in November, and there will be a nominal charge. An application blank is available through the regis- trar ' s office. The Lycee library continues to expand. More than 1,000 new volumes have been added and cata- logued over the past year. Major credit for the continued upgrading of the school library must go to the school ' s hard-working librarian, Mrs. Maxine Steinberg. It ' s that time of year again: School has been in session for less than a month, and college recruiters are already knocking on the Lycee ' s door. A recent visitor to the campus was Kenneth B. Mayer, director of admissions for Pacific University, Forest Grove, Oregon. There will be many more .... Honors, Honors Members of the Lyce and the Lycee itself— have r a number of honors in months. The school itself won a fully- endorsed re-accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, in recognition of the ac- ademic and administrative progress demonstrated by the school over recent years. Lycee Director and Founder Esther Kabbaz, was named as one of Two Thousand Women of Achievement in a special tribute devoted to the women of the world in London. Randall Katz, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald A. Katz, was named outstanding student in commence- ment ceremonies held in June, and was awarded a two week trip to Tahiti, through the cooperation of UTA French Airlines. tteotfOKt Pxutcificit Homed Mrs. Michele Gans has been named Assistant Principal of the Lycee, according to President Ray- mond Kabbaz. Mrs. Gans holds a number of degrees from principal universities both in Europe and the United States, including a law degree from Paris University. We welcome Mrs. Gans to the Lycee, said M. Kabbaz, and feel confident that her experience and charm will combine to provide the school with a most valued admin- istrator in the years to come.

Highlight of the year was the renewal of accreditation of Le Lycee by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Such accreditation is of vital importance to Le Lycee, and serves as an impor- tant endorsement of the quality of a Lycee education. The 1971-72 school year was one of significant student accomplishments as well. The Lycee drama club presented Arthur Miller ' s play The Crucible at UCLA, and the Student Association Bazaar was an enormous success, raising additional funds to finance new titles for the school library. The re-organization of the school library-and the hiring of a full time librarian-provided an ever- expanding resource for our students. New books are being received and catalogued weekly. Other new acquisitions included five IBM electric typewriters, generously donated to the school by the IBM Corporation. The new student newspaper— a monthly journal called Le Candide— has won wide acceptance at the school, under the direction and editing of William Travis and his hard working staff. Travis also swept top district honors in this year ' s Boys ' Oratorical Contest sponsored by Optimist International. In other areas, the school displayed a tapestry by M. Pierre Sicard, and executed by Tapisserie D ' Au- busson, in France. With the opening of the new Headmaster ' s Residence, a series of monthly teas and open houses encouraged a greater participation in Lycee activities on the part of many parents. The school also welcomed the new French Consular Corps, including Consul General M. Jean-Francois Roux; Consul Melle Yvonne Petrement; Cultural Attache M. Raymond Neuville; and Commercial Attache M. Jean Bourgeois. Dr. Paule Neuville generously gave of her time in teaching science classes at Le Lycee. Finally, Madame Kabbaz displayed her great pride in Le Lycee by taking millions of Southern Cali- fornians on a tour of the school in a special television report carried by KNBC— TV, Channel 4. bl 52 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON TO THE 1972 GRADUATING CLASS LE LYCEE FRANCAIS DE LOS ANGELES America can be intensely proud of the young men and women who complete their secondary education and begin their adult life. We have every reason to be encouraged as we look to you -- to your energies , your hopes and your ambitions. We have every right to be confident as we consider your high sense of purpose and refreshing desire to serve. There is little doubt that today ' s seniors want to be involved. And today ' s America needs your full involvement. Whatever career, whatever interests, whatever course you pursue in your lives: you will find in our nation the unlimited opportunity to contribute to the progress and well-being of your fellow citizens. Our success in meeting the critical challenges we face as a nation depends on your positive response to this opportunity that is before you . I believe that America ' s pride and confidence in you are soundly placed. I believe that you will look within yourselves to ask how best you can direct your special talents to help fill the urgent needs of those who, through no fault of their own, have not enjoyed a rightful share in the general prosperity of America. I see a nation that is not divided by age groups, but one that is united in a common purpose: and it is a purpose in which you have a vital part. My congratulations to you on the scholarship that has earned you this diploma, and my sincere good wishes as you go forth to do your best in your chosen field, helping to build better communities and a stronger America. tfLLJL L hi BK ■ ' •■ — - i i gl ; — ;-L r « 1 ■?V3F. 5 and a time to gather et le temps des recoltes what has been planted bb For every purpose under heaven Pour chaque chose et pour toutes chose s A time to be born and a time to die le moment de naitre et le moment de mourir A time to weep le temps de pleurer and a time to laugh et le temps de rire 56 b7  • (de gauche a droite) Premier rang: Erica Bradshaw, Lucien Thelia, Hilary Watts, Jeanette Paule, Andrea Meyer, Suzanne Boulet.

Apres avoir, gravement, Longuement, soigneusement Bien essuye chaque verre Avec des airs recueillis , Sur le bout de mon nez je mis Les lunettes de ma grand ' mere, Jadis, mon coeur fremissait Quand Maman le cares sait! Adieu jalousie amere: J ' adorais mon Yvonnec. Rien que 1 ' admirer avec Les lunettes de ma grand ' mere, Je pris ensuite en ma main Le gros paroissien romain Pour y lire ma priere .... Et je le comprenais mieux Depuis que j ' avais sur les yeux Les lunettes de ma grand ' mere. Lorsque je dis a Maman Pourquoi ce prompt changement? Elle repondit: Ma chere C ' est qu ' un des rayons ardents De son grand coeur est reste dans Les lunettes de ta grand ' mere. Puis je tricotais des bas Pour les gens qui n ' en ont pas, D ' une main bien legere, Maudissant les durs hivers En voyant la neige, a travers Les lunettes de ma grand ' mere. Moralite: Pour mieux voir Mieux comprendre le devoir Et les humaines miseres Sur nos yeux trop exigeants , Mettons les verre s indulgents Des lunettes de nos grand ' meres!

She used to read in the closet after her bedtime, Mr. Gampel said, until I took the light bulbs out (Lilit will not read under the sheets with a flashlight — she is too careful of her eyes. No reading after 8:30 P.M., she has decided. I want to keep my eye- sight. ) To fit everything in she must cut out almost all socializing outside of school.
