Seniors It was September, 1963. Dozens of confused, young freshmen entered Syracuse High School, wandering aimlessly through the halls. After a few weeks, the freshman of 1963 became involved in homework, extra-curricular activities, and a feeling of class pride. They had just begun to realize that they had a lot of living to do throughout the next four years. Finally they were sophomores--no longer the underclassmen. And then juniors- -time to pick class rings, and moving into the new Sr. High building. Then the class shifted into high as it became the Senior class of 1967. It was an event-filled year as Seniors made all- important decisions on graduation an- nouncements, caps and gowns, class colors, flower, and motto. Every Senior eagerly participated in making plans for their Sneak Trip to the Ozarks. Time and effort provided the Senior class with competition, spurring them on to the final processional to receive their diplomas. It is the hope of Seniors that they have contributed what they should have to SHS, Now the Class of '67 is a little bit wiser and better prepared for the future yet to be lived.
