SENIOR HISTORY In September, 1963, we, the largest class ever to enter Oxford Hills High School, walked through its doors as meek and timid freshmen, unaware of what the following four years would hold in store for us. We became a part of this high school when the Sophomores entertained us at the traditional Freshman Reception. That first year was filled with hopes and doubts about high school. Little did we know then just how much these high school years would mean to us. Adjusting ourselves to the rou- tine of high school life and accepting the jovial uribbingi' of the upperclassmen were the main prob- lems of that year. With the sophomore year came the feeling that we were actually a part of this school, for now, there was a freshman class beneath us. As Sopho- mores, we acquired the role of hosts to the Fresh- men at the Freshman Reception. That year was unique for the high school, for it was the first year in which both the Norway and South Paris students were combined in one building. Having oriented ourselves the year before, we spent our second year in an atmosphere of security, and began to enjoy high school life. The arrival of class rings in the fall of our junior year made us feel very proud, for they gained for us the title of upperclassmen. The main event of the year was the junior-Senior Prom, which we spon- sored. With its theme, Evening In Paris, the Prom brought the junior year to a very festive close. Caught in the whirlwind of studies, festivities, and money-raising projects, the first three years slipped by very rapidly. The senior year started amid great congestion. The arrival of the Oxford and West Paris students caused crowded conditions, but we didn,t object. In fact, we had only one thought in mind - gradu- ation. February 27, 1967, was perhaps the most historic day in this area since the creation of S.A.D. 99617: the students of Oxford Hills High School moved into the recently completed building on Main and Fair Streets. For the seniors, this new building seemed to be the finishing touch to a final, eventful year at O.H.H.S. And now as the prospects of graduation draw near for the Class of 1967, we are enveloped in a state of disbelief that we can be experiencing the Hnal few weeks of high school. Soon we will be entering a totally new world of independence. No longer will we be subject to the routine of school life about which we so often complained. We will be entering today's society as young citizens, striv- ing to achieve the personal goals that we have es- tablished for ourselves. Even though each member of this class will go his separate way, he will not forget these four years. As time- goes on, he will realize just how much this high school and its fac- ulty have given to him. And so, to Oxford Hills High School and the faculty members we, the Class of 1967, would like to express our gratitude for giv- ing to us, the happiest four years of our lives.
