OUR SE IOR YEAR Our senior year exemplifies versatility, it has brought both great happiness and tragedy into our lives. Some of the year's events, because of their enormity, have become historyg other events are significant only to us, members of Maple Hill High School. The assassination of President Kennedy, who was a symbol of peace and symbol of America, was the most shocking and significant happening of the year. Jacque- line Kennedyis fortitude inspired the nation as kings, queens, dictators. emperors and presidents came to mourn our fallen leader, and they left with renewed hope of world peace. Lyndon B. Johnson offers continuity and action as the New Frontier continues. The Tlzreslzer, a new atomic submarine, sank near Cape Cod with a loss of 124 men aboard. This was the year Gordon Cooper made 22 orbits around the earth in a space capsule. and the year that Madame Nhu, bitter-tongued first lady of Viet Nam. visited the U.S.A. Castro's infiltration into Panama and Zanzibar reached the newspapers in a space of two days. and the Cyprus dispute threatened to create a major world conflict. The Berlin wall opened for the Christmas holidays and Khrushchev remained the greatest enigma facing the Western World. During our senior year the New York World's Fair opened and the Fischer quintuplets were born. It was a year of religious reawakening. The Ecumenical Coun- cil continued, and Catholicism is itself on a period of transition. The March to Washingtoii stressed the Negro's fight for civil rights, and Martin Luther King became Time magazineis Man of the Year. Cigarette smoking, social problems and school prayers were major topics of dis- cussion. The Yankees suffered major defeat as the Dodgers beat them four games running in the World Series. Roger Staubuch, Navy quarterback, made headlines as did the death of Gorgeous George, blond wrestler. Folk singers led by Peter, Paul, and Mary, The Smothers Brothers, and The Brothers Four. The Kings- ton Trio, and The Chad Mitchell trio brought the Hootenanny to Teen-agers. Britains top idols, The Beatles, created a sensation similar to that of Elvis, first appearances.
