Gildea missing from picture Although the Hall of Fame was opened in ARROW 1964 and even though we are always full of solid, school- spirited Redskin confidence, we wanted to be sure that such an institution would be worthy of becoming a Seneca tradition before adults were included. Lones0me's Redskins have proved that the idea is not a fantastic one but a very real and useful way to commemorate worthy achievements. The group pictured above includes' the principal, three high school counselors, the school's treasurer, and thirteen teachers. All have been loyal, active, and enthusiastic workers for Seneca since the sch ool's doors were first opened in September 1957. A TRIBUTE TO YOU Without your sincere interest in the educational and personal development of each member of the Redskin tribe, Seneca's first decade of progress might not have been so successful-so filled with joy and glory. You laid a solid educational foundation in a new school, set the standards that have endured, and should be proud of your achievements. A special corner in the Redskin's Hall of Fame is reserved for you. Redskin's Hall of Fame. We have waited four years to bestow this honor on you, Mr. Farmer. Without your thoughtful leadership, your very constant and thorough direction of all matters connected with our school, and the finesse with which you handle every situation that arises, t.he Seneca story would have to be re-written. Your ideals are high, your integrity above question. We rely on your judgement be- cause you are a just as well as kindly man. Your partici- pation in all of our schoolis affairs is noteworthy. Few My would take the time or make the effort to always be there at academic, social, and sports affairs. We know that you want the best for the Redskins as well as the best , from the Redskins. It has been said, The success of any group can be directly attributed to the quality of its i it leadership? You have set a wonderful example for us to Nj fll- g in emulate. You are a good friend as well as an outstanding ' educator. As you take your place in the Hall of Fame the members of your Redskin tribe will rise and chant r i N.

JACK DAWSON Assistant Superintendent Assistant Superintendent Assistant Superintendent You have devoted your time and energies to the proposi- tion that all the children of Jefferson County must be offered the best public school education within the best school facil- ities attainable. lt should be a personal satisfaction to each of you who have served so faithfully to this end to have seen your efforts become realities. ARROW '67 reviews a decade of progress in one Jefferson County school, Seneca. Multiply that progress by the num- ber of schools over which you have labored, and a single pathway widens into the equivalent of a great modern high- way that has borne thousands of young people preparing themselves to face the demands of adulthood. Speaking for those students who have been the recipients of your dedicated efforts we want you to know that your good deeds have been noted, greatly appreciated, and will be remembered. The peoples' trust in your abilities has been excellently rewarded.

Redskin The featured attraction of ARROW ,67 is a popular little Redskin known as the Lonesome Polecat who has been Senecais mascot since 1958. Lonesome came to Seneca through the generosity and coopera- tion of Al Capp, whose entry into the Redskin Hall of Fame is celebrated this year. lVlr. Capp, the noted humorist, lecturer, and creator of the comic strip 4'Li,l Abnern is well known throughout today's world. We grew up laughing at the antics of Daisy Mae and Liil Abner who have been bringing joy to all devotees of the fun- niesi' for years. lVlr. Capp is a realist who portrays the events of today in a subtle and satirical manner that entertains as it educates. He displays a great interest in the progress of young people and supports the youth of today who have high ideals and standards, pokes fun at what he considers the usual percentage of '4nuts in any given generation, and seems to believe that there is plenty of brain power hidden beneath the abundant hair-dos of our time. We are grateful to Al Capp for his sketch of Lonesome used on pages 4 and 344 of this yearbook and appreciate the good wishes he ex- Mr. A1 Capp tended the Redskins as we celebrate our tenth anniversary. Each year the ARROW presents two scholarships to senior staff members. Sarajane Oakley and Elaine Johns received these awards for 1966 which were given for outstanding service and leadership in all phases of school activity while maintaining excellent academic records throughout four years in Seneca H.S. Kay Lilly, Dennis Ray, and Tom Heffron brought an outstanding honor to the Redskin tribe in 1966. All three of these students in Jefferson Countyis Advance program won National Merit Scholar- ships to colleges of their choice. Seneca was the only school in the Commonwealth that had three Merit Scholarship winners so Kay, Dennis, and Tom were the Seneca Sensations of the year, academ- ically speaking. Another Advance program class member, Greg Fulkerson, achieved the limelight in the Fine Arts classification. On April 9, 1966, Greg played his violin in a Carnegie Hall concert. He is an accomplished musician, playing both the violin and piano, and was concert master of the Seneca High School orchestra. Kay Lilly, Dennis Ray, Tom Heffron Y Sarajane Oakley and Elaine Johns receive their ARROW '66 scholarships checks. Mr. Wich, Greg Fulkerson, and Mr. Farmer.
