Last look back at 60s as new decade beckons I960! The start of a new decade. Picture today’s Seniors as pint-sized little devils; the girls are selecting First Communion dresses, the boys are trying out for Little League. Their last days in school are spent penciling dipthongs, and picking flowers for the May altar. 1962! Big sisters hog the bathroom tying their hair in pony tails; they are sent home because their skirts are too short: four inches below the knee. The little Arrow studies his Baltimore Catechism to prepare for the big day: Confirmation. The Arrow is ten—too big to be a baby, too small to be a teen. He stands in a never-never world: which is better—to go forward or back? 1964! Protected by his gang, little Arrow taunts the Bcatle-loving girls from the boys” side of the playground, careful not to cross the invisible line. They are afraid to cross another line, the line that separates the child from the adult. Will the Arrow cross it? Will he? 1965! The first tentative steps: his science project on tornadoes wins a red ribbon. He takes a lead with the big guys” in Oklahoma. 1966! A giant leap across the line, high school! The mind cries: Adjust! Adjust! The heart answers: No! Grade school was safer. There were no demands. Here: demands everywhere, everyday. On his mind: porto, portas, portat. On his body: fifty laps around the gym. On his time: the Student Council will meet at 7:15 tomorrow morning. Enough! 1969! That old line is long gone. The Arrow runs for president, and wins. He gives of his self; he gives time. 1970! The start of a new decade!

70 school year becomes stepping stone of decade As the new decade is ushered in the experiences of being a frosh. soph, junior or senior ushers in yet another step toward final maturity. The unsteady freshman carefully takes each step on the road through high school. The soph- omore is a little steadier and the free-swinging juniors gal- lop through high school. The sentimental senior hesitates at times because he realizes he is closing the door on one phase of growth and is stepping into a new and freer, yet more complex and demanding world that is not as secure as his high school days. In September, sun-lovers and beach drifters come back to start a unique school year, the first in a new decade. As the newness of books, schedules and teachers wear off, life at St. APs takes up a daily routine. But constant interrup- tions occur. A brand new Student Council becomes “the” organizer of numerous school activities. Seniors begin to feel the weight of responsibility a little more. Instead of being carefree Juniors, they arc the school leaders, em- barking on yet another phase of growing up. 'Moonlight and Roses’ becomes the primary target of meticulous plan- ning and work. The frosh take another leap as they join the decorating crews for Homecoming for the first time. The sophs and juniors are also busy building prize-winning floats. Combining ingenuity and handi-work, creativity reigns supreme. The boys athletically strengthen themselves in football training three times a day. October brings a wet and wild Homecoming weekend. Led by victorious juniors in the float contest, each Arrow dies a little bit as Salesian becomes the football victor. Accepting defeat with pride, the Arrows look toward Ring Day. The high hopes and expectations of the seniors soar as they land to enjoy the Sophomore-Senior Breakfast. Around November 10, grades and averages become the central interest as report cards travel home from school on Parents’ Night. Acceptance and a necessary striving characterize the second quarter. November also brings a step into the land of ‘Aquarius’. Throbbing to the beat of their second dance the frosh join the enthusiastic upper- classmen. Thanksgiving vacation sees seniors tackling term papers, juniors recuperating from hectic planning and sophs and frosh collecting paper for the upcoming paper drive. The ’70 school year is just three months old and al- ready the Arrows have felt the demands of a stimulating world. Combining victory and defeat, work and play, each Arrow surges ahead to the bright, yet sometimes fearful future of the remaining school year. 4
