A TYPICAL MALE REACTION from Mr. Segrist greets a remark from Joan Upton at the Senior Party. BELGIUM EXCHANGE STUDENT Dick Van Dyck prepares to sprint down a basement corridor during after-school track practice. Shakerites Soon Fall Back into GENIUS AT WORK — Jonathan Seldin ponders his move in a chess game during Honor Study Hall. When the excitement and strangeness of being back in school after summer vacation had worn off, Shakerites settled down into the routine of classes, study, and report cards. So, too, did our foreign students, among them Belgium exchange student Dick Van Dyck and German-born Margret Kuhlman, for whom life at Shaker soon became as familiar as life in their home countries. At first, though, Dick ' s and Kuhli ' s eyes must have opened wide at some of the sights that they saw. There were the honors math boys who played chess in study hall every day; there were the sleepyheads who dozed in class; and there was that warm sense of friendliness and companionship between stu- dent and teacher. As our foreign students became accustomed to our way of life, so too did all Shakerites, each of whom gradually became an integral part of the school. 22

WINTER— a time for holiday fun and laughter, but a time, too, for hours of study in preparation for se- mester exams. These were the busi- est months of the year, when we filled each minute of the day with study for that English test, or with cheers for our basketball squad at the Euclid Pep Rally, or with laugh- ter and music at the Christmas Dance. Finally, the new decade rolled around, and with it came a new stream of activities: cramming for exams, jitterbugging or cha-cha- ing at the Hat Hop, and cheering for our swimming team at the State Meet in Columbus. A SHIMMERING CHRISTMAS TREE and a pretty girl (Sue Burton)- Grant Kloppman needs now is mistletoe to make the evening complete. Winter Ushers in the Xmas Dance, Basketball, Exams CENTER OF ATTRACTION— Marty Dunn grins apprehensively as Senior misses extol his athletic prow- ess at the Shaw Pep Rally. 1 i 3 M Jfc £l t ■ 1 s4 .
