June,I962 June completed the 1961-62 school year with many frenzied activities, especially for the outgoing seniors. Having finished their tests early, the seniors concentrated all their en- ergy on the successful execution of Senior Week, highlighted by the long awaited Senior Prom and by Senior Night with its Good Knight pro- gram. Senior Week also included Senior Teach Day during which peda- gogically inclined seniors lectured on Toynbee, limits, and radiochemistry. The climax of three years of compre- hensive schooling was the June Com- mencement exercises. While the seniors frolicked, the less fortunate juniors and sophomores un- derwent final examinations, two-hour horrors designed to prepare them for the rigors of writing coherently un- der stress. The last days witnessed a frantic scramble as Wiwdzllfs were handed to eager students by the harassed staff of the school bank. Social Calendar 189
