1966-1968 Learning to fight the crowds in the halls was ' a major accomplishment. ]!h the gyni Classes many unTaiown basketball stars were discovered As Seniors, let us review our past v years at Seneca. It seems only yester- [j M that we entered these halls of learn- ing which have and will continue to influence us as we travel the road to the future. Seventh grade was a period of adjustment to a new routine and way of life. We were a little scared at first, but the strange surroundings soon be- came familiar, and we soon learned how to master our combination locks, , Our daily routine of Core, Math, Sci- . ence, P. E. , Home Ec. , Shop, Music, 7 and Art was a little monotonous at times, but for the most part, fun! In addition to studies, our Junior High days were filled with numerous extracurricu- r activities such as Gray-Y sports, cheerleading. Student Council, band, and orchestra. Beth Henry and Jill Wal- ton represented us in the JCL Calendar contest. By the time spring rolled around, we were well assured of our positions as members of the Redskin tribe. In autumn 1967 , we re-enter,ed Seneca, this time with a new prestige. As eighth graders, we were really the seniors of the Junior High. Assuming positions of leadersMp, Matt Gossage and Mike Farah were elected President and Treasurer respectively of the Stu- dent Council. To further our interest in education, an FTA was formed. Many boys took part in Gray-Y sports; inter- ested girls became cheerleaders. Our Gray-Y Basketball team went undefeated, winning the Optimist Club Tourney in 1968. Chorus was something most of us had r in common, and many of us were se- lected to participate in the annual Jef- ferson County Music Festival. Beauty was again prevalent in our class as Melanie Shephard and Sandy Beaber were contestants in the Calendar Can- test. Let us not forget the varsity basket- ball season of ' 67- ' 68 when Seneca was - runner-up to Glasgow in the State Finals! The entire school was unified that spring and we found ourselves caught up in the spirit and enthusiasm as much as the upperclassmen. Thus ended our Junior High years. It all ended too soon, but we were anxiously looking ahead to oqr yf ars in the Senior High. Steve Bush emerged as our Freshman Class President, guiding us on down the road to the future,

Classes now ,; iged every hour, and we found our- selves intermingled with many kinds of people. We were developing the attri- butes of future leaders and highlighted our school days dth participation in extracurricular activities. In the 9th and 10th grades, we were well represented in J. V. Cheerleading and Sports. Joe Wixson and Mike Farah played Varsity Football as Freshmen (remember State Championship ' 68, ' when we were runner up to Trinity?). In our Freshman and Sophomore years, several of us were members of the Stu- dent Council, the marching band, the Drill Corps, theFTA, language clubs, the debate team, ROTC, and other organizations. Many of us served as student, office, and lib result of our good academic work. ome 100 of us became members of the Beta Club in our sophomore year, and several sophomores accepted positions on the Arrow and Sentinel Staffs. Varsity , Sports produced several sophomore stars; including Gary Brewer in football and Steve Bush in basketball. Our class was well represented at the State Student Council Convention at Seneca (1969), in the JCL Calendar Contest, and in the Homecomir s. As the year progressed , many of us who had been followers be- came leaders. Debbie Korfhage was elected Secretary of the 1970-1971 Student Council, and Steve Bush became our class president for the third consecu - tive year. With capable leaders coming into their own, our Road to the Future was taking shape. : success!
