Individuals Become a Unit The senior year is question-filled. The counselor’s answers are important. In civics the question may be too tough; so seniors take it apart little by little. As sophomores, the class of 1967 swung with the rest of the world. They now had that second-year status and more responsibility. They molded zeal into class ventures like car washes and the post-game sock hops. This spirit and creativity won them top honors in homecoming float competition. Money management, though, was another thing. As one sponsor said, “You people buy like the last of the big spenders.” So, future purchases were eyed with frugal scrutiny. Sophomores usually change and Neoga’s were no exception. Thus, spring brought the more serious, less erratic approach to getting an education. After all, history and chemistry lay ahead. “Wouldn’t you like to buy some magazines?” As class trip financiers, the Class oj 1967 wanted a positive answer.

Senior hornemaking students learn about Thanksgiving the practical way — by cooking and hostessing. Junior Year, Decision Time 1965 already! What before had been jubilation now became pressure. The question was, “How can I get my work done without spreading it too thin?” Classwork or fun? The answer for most was the first. Class play time — and this became the first test of will power. Then, one could see some droopy-eyed juniors whose eight-hour day had burgeoned into a sixteen-hour monster. Through it all, they saved enough energy for the prom. More than enough! Prom couples will not soon forget the Polynesian Paradise the Class of 1967 had created for their guests. With the most trying ordeals lived through, they hoped, the juniors awaited their year. Better understanding of Shakespeare comes to these basic English students through their partial production of “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” 15
