For freshmen, the year was full of long, confusing hallways, new friends and locker lights. Sophomores, able to drive and no longer mere freshmen enjoyed this slightly elevated position. luniors revelled in their position of upperclassmen, only begin- ning to think about the worries of postgra- duation plans. For seniors, the year was a wrap-up, a completion of four years of hard work. For each student, there had never before been a year like it. Yes, the year was unique. Special events, like a 4551 ranked tennis team and the announcement by Adlai Stevenson of his candidacy for governor, were saved forever, written down and wrapped up in the pages of a yearbook. And so the year progressed with cheers and struggles and tests and victories, until one day we stopped and noticed that it was l une. With the referees by their sides, seniors Dave lohn- son C4455 and Perry lohnson C3373 stride out to meet the Hinsdale Central captains.

X729 A MQ! The year unfolded and the scenes pro- gressed. As one would end, another day would arrive, bringing with it new events to be chroni- cled. Some days it seemed as though the year would never end: another test taken, another essay assigned, another grade earned. But then an unleashed spirit, running free in the halls, would touch students. School spirit reached ev- eryone, more than ever before. l-luslcie power rose to a new height and students swam in a sea of orange and blue clothing every Friday. At the all-school assembly, unified spirit was wrapped up in one load cheer: HO-A-K P-A-R-K! Oak Park! Oak Park! Yeah! The filming has begun! Flanked by city-wide televi- sion crews, Newscene cameraman senior lohn Toppen helped capture the moment of Adlai Slevensons an- nouncement of his candidacy for governor. Winner and still the champion of the 4th period Halloween costume Contest, super-nerd freshman lason Dell struts his stuff for the judges. Huskie spirit and high kicks are all part of the drill team's award-winning routines. Qpening misss! 'Q 3. ,.. , ,.
