His friendship and guidance have given many his philosophy of the beauty and discipline of that music—of life itself—that we may always be on top of the tone. We, the students of Cranford High School, dedicate our yearbook to James Lenney, to the man and his belief that we will: "Choose something like a star To stay our minds on And be staid." tn> senioRS enteR to Our senior year has been one of excitement and challenge. Through an introduction to the many aspects of man's knowledge, we have increased our understanding of ourselves and of our world. We have engaged in many activities that have made us aware of our abilities and resources and have united us as a class. We have had a winning basketball team that has heightened our school spirit and enthusiasm. Our school choir has represented us at the World's Fair and on television. We have had a united effort to present the musical "Oklahoma" in the spring. Senior Day and our Senior Dinner helped to emphasize our class as a unified whole. The class of '65 has had an active and profitable last year in Cranford High School. We leave the high school with memories of our days there, and a sense of excitement and purpose in regard to our future lives.
