9 - . The Class of 66 Ln, Retrospect Gazing down from the height from which I guard the Redskin Spirit, I find it hard to believe that another band of braves and K squaws will soon be leaving the tribe. For six years I have been 1 watching with interest as each member of my fold has developed Q. from a seventh grader, who was awe-stricken and lacking self- llf 'I ' confidence, into a mature, sophisticated Senior. You've changed so -'24 much that it is hard to realize that you,re the same group who started on the warpath in September, 1960. I'll never forget the astonished looks on your faces and the eyes ' as big as saucers as you stepped one by one into a world which, until that time, had been composed of only imagination and dreams. I JJ ' , At first you thought youid never be able to find your way from 4 view of the names and numbers on the doors. Gradually, although the juniors and seniors still impaired your vision, Seneca's halls . V class to class, especially when those six-foot giants blocked your became more familiar territory, and you began to feel that you were a part of the tribe. Remember when you were invited to the Nuit d'Amour Dance, and were even represented by Garnett Schott and Beverly Laise as Prince and Princess? There was more excitement in March when Seneca was one of the Sweet Sixteen in the State Basketball Tournament in Lexington. You were just as upset as any veteran Redskin when we lost in the quarter-finals, and just as quick to decide youid give it another try next year. The charter members of the tribe, the Class of ,61, left the fold that year, and you were no longer the papoos- es. You moved to the second step on the totem pole to become eighth graders. Seneca had her first Homecoming that year, and you had just as much fun that afternoon as everyone else. You were .right behind our basket- ball team again that year, too. The team fought hard, and although St. Xavier took our place in the Sweet Sixteenv that season, a Redskin never gives up. You promised yourselves that next year things would be dif- ferent. Next year arrived with a flurry of excitement, especially since you realized that you could now dispense with those awful three hours of Core every day. Your Freshman chieftains led you wellg they were Greg Karem, presidentg Jane Clore, vice-president, Jane Branch, secretary, Carol Slaton, treasurer, and Charlie Leslie and Harry Stimmel, sgts.-at- arms. You were represented on the J.V. cheer- leading squad that year by Corky Block and Kathy Thomas. The football team was enlarged by the addition of nine of your peers-G. Schott, C. Petry, G. Karem, P. Thompson, J. Ruttle, M. Zeitman, J. McDonald, J. Rice, and G. Talton. 93

The hardwood felt the earnestness of your efforts as T. Trip- lett, Z. Rendel, and L. Trunnell dribbled and passed with a very promising ,l.V. Basketball team. The Freshman team was composed of twelve boys who worked hard at their sport and showed great potential. You were all proud of Larry Trunnell who showed such outstanding ability that he dressed with the Varsity team that season. That March you cheered your team on to the victory you had wanted so much for the past two years: the State Basketball Championship. There was a victory parade and celebration the following Sunday, and the brilliant gold trophy is now a reminder of the Seneca spirit and ability that went into that basketball season. The ,l.C.L. Calendar was graced by the picture of one of your classmates in the person of Sandy Baron. Mimi Lowry and Phil Thompson reigned as Prince and Princess of the Nuit d,Amour Dance. ln the spring of the year you tried your hands at your first money- raising project, a carwash. Your hard work paid off, and your treasury received quite a boost. But wouldn't it have been much easier if youid washed just the cars -and not each other! ? l September, 1963, heralded the halfway mark for you as you began your sophomore year at Seneca. The class officers were Garnett Schott, president, Kathy Thomas, Hveepng Mimi Lowry, secretary, Ricky Thom- as, treasurerg and Carol Slaton and Charlie Leslie, sgts.-at-arms. Spirit l soared high that year, perhaps because you were led by ,l.V. cheer- leaders ,lane Branch, Cathy Craig, Vicki Kilness, Mimi Lowry, and Kathy Thomas. Sophomores H. Humphrey, G. Schott, C. Petry, J. Rice, G. Karem, R. Garrison, P. Thompson, and M. Wilson dressed for the varsity football games. Karem and Thompson received All-County Men- tion. At the Homecoming game Mimi Lowry was crowned Homecom- ing Princess, 1963. The sophomore year brought an opportunity for you to participate in many new activities. Thirteen girls, who had been chosen the pre- vious spring, were now stepping and strutting with the Drill Corps. The lucky thirteen were S. Beam, Z. Calvert, S. Frederick, C. Hills, C. Hul- bert, J. Karem, C. Lindsay, C. McLain, S. Oakley, M. Record, G. Strat- ton, and. D. Weibel. Seneca,s two literary publications received a boon with the talents of your classmates. The ARROW staff of that year in- cluded ,lerry Smith, Nancy Brucchieri, and Elaine Johns, while the SENTINEL welcomed Diane Baron, Vikki Zellich, Ruthie Fledderman, Sharon Jacobs, Sharon Frederick, Kathy Thomas, Bruce Samuels, and Carol Cisney. Those students boasting a 3.2 academic average were in- vited to join the Beta Club. ,lane Branch, representing the ,l.V. Cheer- leaders, was chosen to be on the J.C.L. Calendar. 94
