SENIOR WEEK




With all the hard work and stress behind them and graduation just ahead, seniors "let down their hair" with costumes, games and some last-minute preparation for college and a career. Valedictorian Gary Wright challenges salutatorian Susie Roetter to game of tic-tac-toe; top-ranked students Bev Caesar and Phil Snyder pretend they are little children once again; and senior Tom Richards practices his teaching methodology as seniors took over teaching duties for an entire day, the first of a new tradition for Senior Week.

Racing Time

Pike Track standouts Gary Wright and Mark Pengilly race to the tape in this shot taken during the half-mile race at a 1967 meet. Mark will be among the 100 in attendance at the August 1st Class Reunion at Gatsby's.

IT WAS 20 YEARS AGO TODAY...

Like the lyrics from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, "it was 20 years ago today..." at the Hyatt Regency Downtown Indianapolis, when the class of '69 showed that it really knew how to throw a reunion party. 80 classmates showed up and this group photo was taken from the balcony. How many will we see this year? We're currently up to 51 confirmed classmates, and more than 90 total attendees for the August 1st Reunion. Don't miss your chance to reconnect one more time. RSVP today!
