u i ' w 30 MR. ALBERT LONGBRAKE, Assistant Principal, addresses the freshmen Dn Orientation Day, welcoming the Class of 1969 to Harrison. THE BOOKSTORE stocked extra everythings and braced for the all-day sales of opening week. AFTER EARLY FEBRUARY rains we put one bucket in the hall. In late February we added a second bucket. By mid-March they had become a SS-gallon drum. From its infancy four short years ago, Harrison has de- veloped into a mature and respected adult. Much in that first year was sparse, with 1245 students en- rolled in September 1962. There were 36 homerooms and 51 faculty members to guide us over the rough spots. The freshmen of that year have seen Harrison grow. Now over 2000 pupils are divided among 61 homerooms and at- tend classes conducted by 80 teachers. classes conducted by 80 teachers. Although we have nearly doubled our size since the first days, the spirit and unity of the beginning have not been forgotten. The newness and togetherness fostered then have become a tradition. Years will pass, and people will come and go, but the precedents built on the blueprint of the first four years will be long remembered. F reshmen, Returning

The plans of this yearls senior class were not only numer- ous, but successful. They excelled in all their projects, activi- tiesein fact everything they did. Jim Campbell led the Class of 1966 with the aid of Bob Zimmerman, vice presi- dent; Cathy Tiernan, treasurer; and Terry Rosenblatt, secretary. Although the senior class is traditionally the Hbest one everfl the other three classes are not to be forgotten. The juniors, led by Terry Wedgewood, president; Mike Shoul- ders, vice president; Dian Corn, secretary; and Ellen Hen- dershot, treasurer, started the school spirit drive rolling and kept it going all the way. It wasnlt long before they had the whole school on board the llspirit band wagon. The sophomore class set precedent this year when they held an all-school sock hop, llWipeout, insteatl of the tra- ditional sophomore class party. Mike Brooks, president; Jon Kixmiller, vice-president; Julie Sauef, secretary; and Sally Senzell, treasurer, realized the planning and responsibility it took to make the sock hop the success it was . In keeping with the current llJames Bond rage, the freshmen planned their class party on the llThunder Balll' theme. David Biber presided over the freshmen, with Gayle Prusz, vice president; Cathy Hudson, secretary; and Ann Shopmeyer, treasurer, helping him. Yes, we can say that each class was well represented. The officers have proven themselves to be capable and respon- sible leaders. They have led their respective classes through many projects and activities which always came out on top.
