Reflecting the Past Two Decades of Memories year of beginnings! The first class graduated from Thom- as Dale at its present loca- tion. Nationally, the turmoil abroad in Vietnam was growing. The first combat troops from the U.S. en- tered Vietnam beginning a long and controversial war. The great sorrow over John F. Kennedy’s assassination was deeply felt by the people world wide, especially the Americans he governed. In office for only six months President Lyndon B. Johnson was try- ing to pick up the pieces with ‘‘The Great Society.” A great musical revolution began in America, as the Beatles became the current kings of pop. In addition to that British group, there were the Beach Boys, the Byrds, Bob Dylan, and Sonny and Cher. The Rolling Stones made hits of their songs — ‘‘Time Won’t Let Me” and ‘‘Last Time’. Also popular was the folk music performed by such artists as Peter, Paul, and Mary. The fashions of this era were differ- ent from that of today. The average teenager would not wear jeans to school, instead Khakies, buttondown and tab collar shirts, with narrow ties, and Bass Wejins (loafers) were the at- tire of most guys. The girls wore pleat- ed skirts, (no pants) knee socks, and their boyfriends’ letter sweater. The Pre-Kennedy era marked a giant step forward in the television world. The Early Bird, the first commercial satellite, was launched into orbit, al- lowing broadcasts from all over the world. The ever-popular shows — ““Get Smart’’, ‘‘Hogan’s Heroes”’, “Green Acres,” and the ‘‘Beverly Hill- billies’’ were at the top of the charts. At Thomas Dale there were several new beginnings. The first Drum Major- ette lead the Marching Knights. For the first time the Majorettes twirled flam- ing batons. At Baccalaureate, the sen- iors wore their caps and gowns for the first time during the service. 1965 was a year of beginnings and fresh starts. Thomas Dale got a new start in a new school initiating the long line of changes that created the pre- sent. Surrounded by a world of chang- ing styles, beliefs, and politics, the tra- dition of excellence in education has prevailed. The Beatles display some of their awards. 1965 7 Not yet realizing the legends they will become,
