Your class had beauty and talent as well as brains. The pictures of five junior girls adorned the J.C.L. Calendar that year. They were Sandy Baron, Cathy Craig, Jane Branch, Sara- jane Oakley, and Mimi Lowry. Sharon Zeillmann joined the majorettes that fall. The efforts of your industrious class made the annual Junior Class Talent Show one of the most successful in Seneca's history. Can you remember how excited you were when you received your senior rings in May? From that point on you began to look forward to September, 1965, when you would begin your final year as members of my tribe. , Your senior year really began before your junior year ended. l Harris Rogers was elected president of the Senior Class of 1966. Other officers were Ken Moyer, vice-president, Elaine Johns, secretary, Rick Thomas, treasurer, Becky Kelley, his- toriang and Larry Trunnell and Rick Nelson, sgts.-at-arms. The officers worked during the summer to try to fulfill your ex- pectations for the coming year. Your football team did its best and succeeded in bringing home to me Seneca,s first State Foot- ball Championship trophy. Seneca was the first Jefferson Coun- ty team ever to win that coveted crown. Redskin spirit soared to greater and greater heights during your Senior year, and surely this is due in part to the efforts of cheerleaders Kathy Thomas, Vicki Kilness, Carol Slaton, Mimi Lowry, and Corky 2 Block. These girls helped to spark the glow which was radiated by the Class of '66 from start to finish. It was this spirit which enabled Seneca to again win the School Spirit Contest sponsored by WAKY. The football team chose Mimi Lowry to reign as Homecoming Queen, the rainy weather that night dampened neither the beauty of the Homecoming Court nor the live- liness of the dance afterwards. Shortly after school began, the production of your Senior Play, Carni- vali' got under way. Leads Barbara Reinschmidt and Charlie Petry gave excellent performances, aided by Corky Block and Stuart Greenberg in sup- porting roles. The profits from the play, which involved the entire Speech and Drama Department, added quite a boon to your treasury. Senior Su- perlatives were elected that fall and chosen as Mr. and Miss Seneca were Harris Rogers and Mimi Lowry. The representative to Youth Speaks was Phil Armbruster. J oe Parrott brought hard work and ability' to the presidency of the Student Council, and working alongside him were secretary Pam Seigle and treasurer Greg Karem. The Beta Club was led by seniors Bob Wooldridge, president, Greg Hayse, uveepvg and Sarajane Oakley, secretary. Nancy Brucchieri was chosen Editor-in-Chief of the ARROW and the SENTlNEL's new leader was Carol Cisney. The AURORA began its second year with Rebecca George as its Editor. The J.C.L. Calendar Contest created the usual amount of interest as Jane Branch, Sandy Baron, Christine Fox, Sarajane Oakley, Carol 96 j

Representing your class on the J.V. Basketball squad that year were C. Petry, M. Helton, P. Scott, T. Triplett, B. Meadway, J. Walker, H. Humphrey, M. Lawrence, B. Murrell, W. Parks, and M. Hay, and, for the second year, Fred King served as Manager. Trunnell again played a big part on the Varsity team which brought home our second consecutive State Basketball Championship and, of course the trophy. Martha Jordan was a lovely Basketball Princess that season. One of the highlights of the year was Operation Amigo, initiated by Frank Hytken, a sophomore. Twenty-five young people from Quito, Ecuador, spent two and one half weeks in the homes of Seneca students. Everyone learned some- thing about friendship and understanding during those short weeks. Your money-raising project near the close of the year was the Sadie Hawkins' Dance, which proved to be a huge success. Your junior year was off to a great start as you elected a capable and .hard-working slate of officers. Denis Ray served as president, along with 'cveepn Greg Karem, secre- tary Vicki Kilness, treasurer Rick Thomas, and sgts.-at-arms Joe Parrott and Charlie Leslie. The varsity cheerleading squad included Kathy Thomas, Mimi Lowry, and Vicki Kilness. Nine juniors proudly wore the Red and Cold as part of Seneca's football team, which finished the season as runner-up in the East-Jefferson County Championship. C. Petry, G. Schott, J. Ruttle, D. Williams, J. Rice, P. Thompson, C. Karem, R. Garrison, and H. Humphrey gave you good reason to believe that big things were ahead for next season. Another winning basketball season can be partially attributed to the efforts of juniors M. Helton, R. Thomas, M. Hay, M. Lawrence, B. Murrell, T. Triplett, H. Humphrey, and L. Trunnell. Kathy Thomas was chosen as one of the Basketball Queens of 19641. f X4 . ff i I Vicki Kilness, Rebecca George, Rose Marie Rice, and Marvin Coan were members of the first AURORA staff. This new Seneca publication did very well in its first year. New ability was added to the SENTINEL staff as T. Heffron, C. Munsey, M. Bryant, K. Lilly, I. Jaffe, C. Dudgeon, and P. Carey became members. G. Karem, S. Oakley, N. O,Brien, P. Seigle, B. Wilson, B. Wooldridge, and S. Banes joined the staff of the ARROW. Phil Armbruster was the representative to Youth Speaks, and Gary Linker's abilities were exhibited through his participation in the Debate Team. Harris Rogers was one of the four students selected for the Science Semi- nar, and, in the field of English, Kay Lilly received the Smith Col- lege Club of Kentucky Award. Math awards went to Kay Lilly and Gieg Fulkerson. In May, twenty juniors were inducted into the National Honor Society during a very impressive tapping ceremony. 95

Slaton, and Barbara Stephens were chosen for the Calendar. Mimi Lowry was elected Cover girl. Senecans also had a chance to see a new kind of beauty during the first She-Male Contest. Dean Williams was a lovely and charming Queen, Leading the Drill Corps through another colorful and entertaining season was Captain Saraj ane Oakley. You were enthusiastic in your support of the basket- ball team as it battled through another successful sea- son. Late in the fall the second induction ceremony for the National Honor Society was held, and seventeen seniors were tapped. Twelve members of your class were National Merit Scholarship Semi-finalists. The year is coming to a close, Seniors, and soon the tribe will be diminished as your class reaches the time of graduation. You have brought glory and distinction to the Seneca tradition and have set an enviable ex- ample for those who will follow behind you. As you go, a part of me goes with each of you, and, with me, there remains the hope that you will meet the challenges of life in the future with as much enthusiasm and dedica- tion as you exhibited in the days of the Red and Gold. Farewell, Class of '66. Seneca Forever, Lonesome Xe. XX- VF Senior privilege-sleeping in class! And then my plane ran out of gas
