i Jim Johnson, ice-President: John Marshall. President: Booth Turner, Student Council Representative. Stephen Ullom, Secretary-Treasurer; This year ' s Senior Class was unique. At the beginning of the ear the faculty made a costly blunder when they told us in advance how great we were going to be C. . . the best potential of any senior class in the history of the school ). Confirming what we already suspected concerning our excellence, this declaration led to a typical bit of St. Stephen ' s logic — . . . since we ' re so good already, we don ' t need to do anything more. The rest of the year, therefore, we were kept oc- cupied by our mentors ' frantic attempts to make us live up to their ideals. The extent of the fac- culty ' s success is shown by the large amount of unwilling labor that we put into the school life. With an untypical lack of modesty, we claim all the credit and none of the blame for what has taken place. Our achievements have been in many aspects of St. Stephen ' s affairs. Vie relieved the teachers of the burdensome trouble of regulating study halls, substituting for the former compara- tive silence the howls of outraged underclassmen. We formed the backbone of all the varsity squads, and we were in large part responsible for their successes. One of our reallv important legacies is the Honor Council and Code. And finally, we pro ed to Mr. Hoy the wisdom of Sacred Studies textbooks. In conclusion, we must reluctantlv admit that it is not with a few pangs of regret that we leave St. Stephen ' s. the best potential . . . One of our favorite pastimes. 16
