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.

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.

all Of Fame The academic achievement level of Seneca students has always been high. It becomes increasingly apparent as the years pass that good secondary school records are a pretty reliable indicator of future attainments. Our Phi Beta Kappa corner will need additional space at the rate Pl3K's have been entering the Hall of Fame. The 1966 entries include: Jay Young, Vanderbilt, Karen Volz Campbell. Duke, David Fleisher, Washington and Lee, Steve Sweitzer, Wash- ington and Leeg and Steve Goldstein, Vanderbilt. Jay Young was graduated Magna Cum Laude and his diploma was engraved Honors in Chemistry. Since Jay was Editor-in-chief of ARROW 562 we've traced him from the time he made Phi Eta Sigma honorary at the end of his freshman year. He was an outstanding chemistry student in the Southeastern Conference of Colleges and Universities and his name turned up in competitive records. lay is at Yale doing graduate work in bio-chemistry. He won a National Science Foundation Pre-Doctoral Fellowship for two years which gives him full-time studies without being a teaching assistant. This is merited reward and we are proud of our ex-editor. Karen Volz graduated from Seneca in 1963. For two consecutive years we have had a PBK who Completed her university work in three years. That is a fine record. At Seneca Karen was co-editor of the Sentinel. She is now married and lives in Durham, North Carolina. Unfortunately we do not have pictures of Steve Sweitzer or Steve Goldstein. However, they, like David Fleisher, another ex-member of the ARROW staff whose picture we did receive, graduated from their respective colleges as PBKs with yet another item in common among the three of' them. Each received a four year Justin-Valere Potter scholarship to Vanderbilt Medical School where they are now completing their first yearls work. These scholarships are unique in that they are awarded on merit rather than need, another accolade not to go un-noticed. The seniors of ARROW '66 did it again. When challenged by Mark Rerlin, Editor-in-chief of ARROW 565 to equal his book's rating, Nancy Brucchieri took him up and came through with an- other First Place in the 32nd Columbia Press Yearbook competition. Welcome to the Hall of Fame. We would like to see this happen every year. at JAY YOUNG-1962 lf KAREN VOLZ-1963 S n' b f ARROW taff 1966 left lo right: Fronte-Dace Tupuritxs, SZrzi?dneneCIll1ktlxesy Ocenter-Naniy Brucchieri, Jerry Smith, Elaine Johns, Beth DAVID FLEISCHER-1962 Wilson standing: Bob Wooldridge, Pam Seigle, Steve Hanes
