We enter as children, and as we leave, we are halfway to adulthood. Each of us is an individual, with his own opinions, feelings, prejudices, goals, needs, and pleasures. Somehow, at the same time, each of us is only one of three thousand. This is our book, our image of our world, in which we have become what we are. Our theme is 'us.’ This is how we spend seven hours of every day. This is our life at TA. This is our crowd of three thousand individuals. This is how we are.

A conscientious supporter of the Senior Class, Mr. Scherrer is the new vice principal in charge of curriculum. Principal of the Junior School, Mr. Costantino executes his duties with efficiency. 16 Mrs. McLaughlin, Miss McKinney and Mr. Blumenfeld, the guidance counselors, fulfill their important jobs of advising students with their subject choices and of helping with individual problems.

As activities director, Mr. Roth co-ordinates the students with the administration. 17 Presiding, inciting, exciting . Mrs. Lewis,Senior Class advisor. The senior class of '66 will go down in TA history as the champion of unity and spirit. Many old ideas were revived, such as crowning the homecoming queen, while new ideas, such as selling candy and fire extinguish- I ers to lower the cost of the prom, inspired the class. One of the best ideas of the year was the creation of the :• Senior Class Advisory position. Mrs. Arlene Lewis, the first to hold this office, made a huge success of it. The tasks of the senior advisor were not clearly defined. Rather, as the problem arose, it was up to Mrs. Lewis to decide what to do with it.

The basis for a senior class unity was the class meeting. At the surface, these assemblies were en­ tertaining, and gathered and amused seniors caught ideas and enthusiasm. Through the year they cheered at games, bought ’66 buttons and ribbons, sold fire extinguishers and candy, and led TA through one of its most spirited years. To reinforce senior zeal, the officers initiated the Senior Scope, Allderdice’s first senior newsletter. Also the Five created the position for a class advisor, adding faculty support and faculty spirit to class spirit. Early in his senior class presidency, Howie Gordon said— "I want to stand on that stage commencement evening knowing that the Class of '66 has gone through the senior pressures, and has come out with a feeling of attachment for the school—a spirit. Only after that graduation, when the kids reflect and say that it has been a great year, will the officers be satisfied.” The five Can be satisfied. And Taylor Allderdice High School can look back at a thrilling year and a growing school spirit and can also be satisfied.
