Thirteen years ago, when we were in our first year in this educational establishment, Mrs. Frazee was also in her first year here; we indoctrinated each other into the ways of learning. We gratefully acknowledge her many years of dedicated service to Rox- bury Central School. fu UetHfwXa � i In the yeai 1968 we were especially saddened by the brutal, senseless slaying of two of our great countrymen. Dr. Martin Luther King and Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Acts like this must give all men pause; how can these things occur in a democratic, lawful coun- try? Dr. King was one of our greatest humanitarians. For many years he led the crusade for equality among men. He never let himself be swayed from the path that he chose, either by threats from people violently opposed to his cause, or by his allies, who cajoled him to leave his peaceful course of action in favor of a more radical form of protest. He was an eloquent man, full of sympathy and good- ness. Senator Robert F. Kennedy, junior senator from New York, was a member of one of America’s most politically prominent families. In a painful era of racial polarization, he stood up and spoke for what he thought was right. His crusading was for equality and freedom: he loved his country and strove to make it better. The, one day in June, he, like his brother President John F. Kennedy, was cut down in the prime of life by an assasin’s bullet. Whether or not we felt sympathy for their political ideologies, we must feel a deep sense of regret for the murder of patriots who were willing to devote their lives to improving America. PtUvCifyCtt’S Dear Seniors, I would like to suggest that you evaluate the years, tears, trials, and errors of your educational experiences. Further, such an evaluation should evoke a common denominator or under- standing that we have all been working toward a common goal - to become all we are capable of becoming. How well we achieve this goal has rested almost exclusively on your shoulders. The faculty and I have shared a mutual concern to help you toward your goal. We are also concerned as to whether we helped you prepare for what lies ahead. However, in the final analysis, ail that you are or will be depends largely on your evaluation of the past as the vehicle of your present and future. Seldom, if ever, have high school seniors had to face problems of such complexity. The strife of racial, religious, economic, and social tensions will envelope and threaten to engulf you, will threaten every fiber of your being. The resolution of these problems may be costly. Not costly in terms of money but costly in terms of values which have been the cornerstone of our democratic way of life. What does it all mean? My friends, I believe it means that the preservation of this society is dependent upon you. Life depends upon the basic values subscribed to by you who must make life meaningful and relevant for your generation and for the future.

German, manager of the famous Delaware Spa Hotel, returned to his job today after a two-week moccasin hunt in South Gilboa with two old friends, Bruce Rowe, Agricul- tural Assistant to Governor Darrell Slater, and Dr. Dennis Slater, world famous obstetrician, to find the hotel in turmoil. (Mr. Rowe actually had no official leave granted by Gov. Slater; as a matter of fact Bruce was waist deep in a clean-up project, and the only way he could leave was to sneak out during the Governor's nap, which was Monday through Friday.) Dr. Dennis Slater, although not a personal friend of Charles and Bruce, was taken along anyway because of his professional boy scout skills. Dr. Slater is the oldest Webelo alive - he claims it’s from 89 years of clean living and free thinking. Charles Ballard, assistant manager, had been left in charge. His first difficulty was due to a mix-up in assignments between maids Barbara Pebler and Linda Purchell. Each thought the other would do Room 56. As a result, the bed of Stanley Morse, farm equipment techni- cian from Arkville, New York, was not made. He phoned downstairs, where Karyn Wiedemann, the switchboard operator, was talking to her boyfriend, Gary Sherwood, a popular Professor of Entomology from V.P.I. (Vega Polytechnic Institute). Karyn became flustered, and plugged into the hot-line between President Michael Hewitt and Chief Justice James Schuman, who were trying to decide whether or not it was constitutional to declare anyone to be Pastor of the United States. Karyn quickly rectified her mistake and sent Miss Purchell right up. Linda made the bed and changed the towels; however, she left a swim flipper under the pillow. Stan- ley came in for a brief respite and found the flipper; in an angry huff, he phoned down to the main desk again. This time Karyn sent Miss Pebler to retrieve it. Unfortunately, Barbara went to Room 58 instead of Room 56. Consequently, she walked in on Rick Porter, a perennial guest, who was clad only in a lounging garment designed by Kim Greenberg. (Miss Greenberg is famous for designing Maritime College's regulation Passion Pink Pajamas.) In her hasty re- treat, Barb indiscreetly backed out of the room knocking over Misses Marilyn Peck and Eva Ballard, delegates to the Roller Derby Convention then being held. Gregg Bookhout, famous weight lifter and amateur racing driver, came along in time to help them up. Meanwhile, Perry fongut White, maitre'd at the downstairs restaurant, was trying to cope with a double problem. First, he was trying to dissuade three pifflicated guests, Jackie Tobin, Sue Biruk, and Diane Stewart, all fashion models, from starting their own musical group in the middle of the dining room. Fortunately. Jerry Tobin, manufacturer of all-purpose wax and twin brother of one of the girls, happened along in time to help pacify the trio. Then, he was trying to free Joyce Boom-Boom Kelly, featured singer and dancer, and her partner Barbara Slauson from one of the doorways back stage, where they got wedged when they both tried to go through at the same time, to avoid an unappreciative crowd. Suddenly, he heard a commotion and hurried back into the main dining hall. There he saw two uniformed police- men, Charles Rose and Eric Finch, trying to arrest Theresa Frevert, a retired third grade teach- er, for driving at night on a junior operator's license. Debonair lawyer Mark Poole rose quickly to her defense and pointed out that the statute of limitations on that offense had run out. (Mr. Poole is better known for his defense of Mr. Leonard Whitelonis, who was charged with classicide, after having tied an entire R.C.S. class to the railroda tracks three minutes before the train was due.) Out at the main desk, the executive officer of the National Association for the Prevention of Sin, Daniel Finch, arrived to register. Not seeing Mr. Ballard, who was under the counter moonlighting by licking labels and sticking them on honey jars, he rang the bell. Ballard was startled, and, rising quickly, knocked himself cold on the bottom of the counter. At this moment, Richard P. King, 47 year old private in the U. S. Army, came in and began administering first aid. Manager German arrived on the scene and summoned an ambulance. After Ballard was examined by Dr. Peter Parnell, he was driven away by ambulance driver Andy Millar. As the scarred, dented ambulance drove away, on the wrong side of the road, German was heard to exclaim, That's the last campout I’m going on!

Thus far this year we have had our spaghetti supper and a couple of clean up days, held in October, when we went through Roxbury collecting the leaves that had accumulated on the lawns and in the gutters. This we did as a free service to the community in which we live. During the Christmas holidays we sold candy, for a good profit. In the spring we are planning a dance, and of course, our Prom, which is tentatively set for May 3. We have contributed athletes to all sports and we have one half of the Varsity Cheerleading group in our class. (Ann, Kathy, and Jan S.) With a little bit of luck, we hope to have as profitable and happy a senior year as this year’s class, the class of 1969. Left to Right: J. McKenzie, G. Ruff, C. German, T. Griffin, L. Seals, D.

Thus far we have sold stationery, and plans for a dance are in the making. We are represented in all of the schools intra-mural sports, and we have two Varsity Cheerleaders, Karen and Sarah: Mary, Gail, Nacy, Sheryl, and Sally are on the J. V. Squad. We hope to continue as well as we have thus far in high school. We give the class of '69 our very best wishes.

Then, still flushed with success, we embarked on an education- al trip to New York City on November 9. We took Mr. and Mrs. Giacci, Mr. and Mrs. May- nard, Miss Salvini and Miss Gray with us to look after us in the roaring metropolis. There we visited the Statue of Liberty, Lincoln Center, and the United Nations building, among others. We recommend the Jewish Deli if you want a good breakfast in the city. Many of the boys participate in sports, and we are represented on the J. V. Cheerleading Squad by Laura and Mary Jo. Cynthia is on the Varsity Squad. We are looking forward to many happy years in high school, and we wish the class of '69 well. s FIRST ROW: M. Kohler, M. Hinkley, S. Schuman, J. Savold, W. Purchell, H. Cium, B. Everett, M.

Qtudwb In January of this year Roxbury Central experienced the arrival of David Charles Maplestone, an exchange student from Melbourne, Australia. He will be staying with us for a year, living in the homes of various Rotarians. Dave is 16, a member of the Junior class. He has easily slipped into the scheme here at R. C.S. and has eagerly joined in on various class projects, giving the class the benefit of his artistic and literary talents most generously. He aspires to a career in the designing of mens’ fashions. Although he has been here only a short time, with his delightful wit and personality he has made many new friends. Here are some of his thoughts on America and its institutions. Education: American students are more studious, and American schools offer a socially stimulating atmosphere by urging greater participation. However, American schools seem to dwell on facts; they try to teach how instead of why. In some respects they fail to install an incentive for learning. ” Youth: American youth is generally more friendly and uninhibited; however, in some respects it seems to be more tied down by discipline and tradition than Australian youth is. We of the Senior class like Dave, and are looking forward to his going on the Senior trip with us. We sincerely hope that he finds his stay in our town enjoyable and worth remembering.
