A Year at Seneca Why did I have to leave so much in my locker? The fun is only beginning! Would you believe? Mrs. Ballantine talks, to one of the English classes. The strength behind the L.C.L. l50 dents, themselves, but also from many former Redskins who have kept the glowing fire of spirit alive in their hearts. Looking to the ring on my left you will discover a new Lonesome, designed especially for the great year, 1967, accompanied by his creator, Al Capp. Standing with Mr. Capp is Mrs. Leslie Frost Ballantine, daughter of the American poet, Robert Frost. Mrs. Ballantine honored Seneca by visiting one of Mrs. Saatkamp's English classes. In the next act you will see the smiling faces of beautiful girls, each participating, for a position on Senecais calendar. This event is sponsored by the Junior Classical League and much work is necessary 'to make it successful. Now focus your attention on the center ring! Not only do we see beauty in this act, but also the talent displayed by the seniors in their annual pro- duction of the Senior Play. The long hours of practicing and the strenuous rehearsals really pay off when the applause on opening night brings down the house and a hoped for success is realized. It looks like action is beginning to pick up in the ring to my right again. Let's go see what's going on. Hm-m, it must be Christmas at Seneca because there's Santa Claus roaming through the halls. All the doors are decorated and the Student Council is packing baskets for the underprivileged. Christmas is a complex time of year at Seneca. It is a time of love, a time of giving, a time of rejoicing, and a time of thankfulness. At Christ- mas the spirit of true Redskins really shines. Seneca has much to give and everyone plays a part in making it the most generous time of year. As time flies by, Christmas comes to an end, and the New Year looms ahead with plans of anticipated activities. One of the first is the Sadie Hawkins Dance sponsored by the sophomores. As the last minute touches are added to the decorations, the band begins to play, the students begin to pour in and the dance is under way. The dance, which is usually a costume affair, is a fun-packed evening of laughter and enjoyment. Well, friends, that brings us to the end of our circus, and on behalf of the performers, I would like to thank you for making this show possible. For if it were not for you, the students, your spirit, and your enthusiasm, this great production of A Year at Seneca could never have been staged. Now as the band begins to play Seneca Forever a banner is hoisted in each of the three rings declaring that A YEAR AT SENECA OVERF LOWS WITH SPIRIT, PRIDE, AND MOST OF ALL SUCCESS!

a rather wild day and class discussions cover the sub- ject of why students canit wear shorts everyday. In the next act we see the Sixth Grade Day when future Redskins visit Seneca. Thgy are taken on a tour of the school and attend an assembly informing them of the various organizations and sports so when they enter Seneca they can immediately take part in the numerous activities. ' Whatis the greatest thing that happens in the spring? Look to my right, and watch as it comes into sight. It is, of course, the arrival of Seneca's yearbook, the ARROW. What else would cause such wide-eyed inter- est? Yes, the arrival of the annuals stirs much excite- ment in the students. When the members of the ARROW Staff open that first box and see the product of those endless hours of toil and worry, they really feel the satisfaction of completing a job and doing it well. Perhaps the greatest act in the Big Top is the induc- tion of new members into the National Honor Society. When one of Lonesome's Redskins receives this honor, he has both a feeling of pride and accomplishment. As the school year comes to a close, many banquets are held to honor the students who are leaving. One example is the ARROW Staff Banquet held annually in the spring to congratulate all its members for their in- dividual contributions that make possible the produc- tion of a good yearbook. Leaders are elected for the coming year and the newer members receive well earned praise for their successful first year. . Now as the band begins to play that famous march, Pomp and Circumstancef, we See the seniors filing in to receive their diplomas. After four years of hard work and study they suddenly find themselves perform- ing the Grande Finale. An aura of happines in accom- plishment envelops everyone, but an indefinable cloud of loneliness and insecurity hovers overhead as each senior contemplates leaving the fimiliar halls of Seneca. Realizing another year has slipped by, the underclass- men move up one more step on the ladder toward grad- uation. lt is a wild and joyous moment when that three oiclock bell rings and everyone shouts, School's out! Books are put away and summer begins with its picnics, swimming parties, and for some-work. However, summer passes quickly and you find your- self back in the swing of things with the football team battling through another winning season. With the end of the football season, basketball resumes and keeps Seneca in the winners' circle. To show the pride and spirit the students feel for Seneca, various dances such as Homecoming, sponsored by the Student Council, take place. There is not only a good response from the stu- . . . continued Those were the good old days! Right this way, please! lineal: thipk, next year we'l1 t ere. The ARROW Staff at work? ' A new National Honor Society member.
