i Recorded on these pages are the academic achievements and social events of the 1965-66 school term. As a summary of the year, REFLECTIONS contains numerous memories for every student and also depicts the educa- tional opportunities and facilities used by the pupils. However, this year, the 1966 REFLECTIONS performs a new and plea- sant duty as an instrument of foreign diplomacy. We hope that Marianne, our foreign exchange student from Sweden, will share this book with the Swedish people. Photographs of students at work in school, engaged in com- petitive sports, participating in extracurricular activities, and enjoying them- selves at social affairs presents an accurate account of the American teenager. On the following pages 1966 REFLECTIONS will depict the lives of our senior class as seen through the eyes of our Marianne as she writes home.

Dear Mamma and Papa, I have now been in America since the eighth of August. I can’t under- stand that I have been here for such a long time. Time just flies away. Since I came to America, I have done a lot of things. I came a month before school started. 1 spent some days in Atlantic City and I visited the World s Fair. Most of the other days I spent at the swimming pool here or with my friends playing pinochle. This first month disappeared terribly fast and school skirted. Because I had such a wonderful summer here I was not anxious for school to start and I was afraid. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to understand the teachers and the things we read. I had some difficulties with the language the first months, but I got accustomed to reading and thinking in English. I hope I will be able to overcome the rest of my fears as well as I did these . . .
