THE 1966 GRADUATING CLASS The heart of any student body is its senior class. Whatever the school accomplishes is, in large part, due to the efforts of the seniors. Far surpassing any of its expectations, this year’s senior class has brought distinction to itself and to the school through its accomplishments. Throughout the school year, the seniors have provided the student body with outstanding leader- ship in every facet of the school life. Scholastically, the class demonstrates its excellence by producing the second-highest total of Merit Scholarship Finalists, by far the greatest number of Letter of Commendation Winners, and an unprecedented two National Merit Scholars. In Athletics, the basketball team, composed largely of Seniors, cap- tured the 18 th district tournament crown, the first basketball trophy in two decades. The wrestling team, spearheaded by seniors, compiled an unde- feated, un-tied season, winning both the N.I.L. and Regional championships. In the field of organizations, this class has shown great energy and imagination, rewriting several obsolete club constitutions and expanding the membership and endeavors of each organization. The constitution and selection standards of To- tomoi, the school’s honorary fraternity, were re- vised by this year’s membership; and in the most revolutionary and significant action of the school year, the Honor Council proposed three amend- ments to the Honor Code of which the student body adopted two. Journalism reached a new peak of excellence in this year’s publications, creating a new feeling of enthusiasm for the once-drab newspaper and an- nual. Endowed with a new kind of imagination and a fresh journalistic style, the paper staff trans- formed its once-lifeless publication into a well- written, well-designed, sophisticated piece of litera- ture. The very same talent and creativity went into the publication of this annual. For all their excellence and accomplishments, however ' , that which distinguishes this class is the unique ability of its members to have fun, and their refreshing outlook on life and study. Many MBA senior classes are excellent, and many have accomplished as much as this one, but few have had such an outlook, and few will do as well in later life. 5
