CLASS OF 1966 Class Officers James Young - Vice-President, Warren Long - Trea- surer Sharon Miller - Secretary, Carl Graber - President. OUR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1960, we. the Class of 1966. entered the halls of Upper Per- kiomen High School for the first time as lowly seventh graders. We must have been an odd sight to upnerclassmen . . . lanky girls and uncoordinated boys . . . very few looking at all sophisticated. By the time we returned to school for our eighth grade year, we had developed more poise. We remember that year especially as the year the U.P. football team won its first victory in 28 games. In 1962 we began our high school days in earnest as freshmen. We sponsored our first dance, Rhythm of the Rain, selected our class colors, light blue and navy, and purchased class jackets. That was the year that U.P. welcomed its first two exchange students. Then came our sophomore year. Who could forget that year? U.P. took the Bux-Mont football co-championship. Our sophomore dance, Scheherazade, was a big success. Our junior year was busy and rewarding. In spring our ambitious thespians ex- perienced their first case of stage fright as they presented the Junior Play, The Ghoul Friend. In September 1965, we again entered the familiar halls of Upper Perk. Only five years had elapsed since our first entrance, but what a change had taken place! We were poised and much more sophisticated. Our class play, Time Out for Ginger, evoked many chuckles from the audiences, and the concerted efforts of all committees made the Senior Prom, Arrivederci Roma, a delight- ful experience and fond remembrance. The class trip and commencement cli- maxed a full and hectic high school career. 26
