All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women
merely players.
They have their exits
and their entrances;
And one man in his time
plays many parts . . .

Producers of Our Play—
Fate took its course on an early evening in January
1965 when flames suddenly engulfed and soon gutted the
Craig Building in a spectacular, but tragic display of
nature. Since that frigid, winter night, the students of
Craig have adjusted to borrowed books and makeshift
classrooms.
Plans for the new school include a building to house
grades 1-6 as an addition to the Junior High. A sketch of
this building is shown above.

Student Council
The Student Council is the student representative
organization of Wethersfield High School. As stated
in its constitution, "the purpose of this council in all
its actions shall be to promote the welfare of the
school, reflect the views of the student body, encourage co-operation between the faculty and the students, co-ordinate extra-curricular activities, and
increase the school spirit. "
Members of the council included the President and
Student Council Representative of each class and
organization, and the secretary of each class . The
42 members of this year's council successfully sponsored the Homecoming events, Christmas turnabout
dance, AFS-Week, and numerous other social activities. The council continued to support its main project, the AFS program, and purchased an AFS
placque. It also purchased a new record player and
decorations for Christmas.
The powers of the council are stated in its constitution:
"The Student Council derives its power from the
school administration and consequently the principal
shall have the power to veto any action he feels may
be contrary to the school's welfare. The Student
Council shall have the power by vote of a simple
majority of its members to:
1. Investigate and report on all matters referred to it by the principal, the faculty, or the
student body.
2. Make recommendations to the faculty or
student body on a point thought to be desirable
for the welfare of the school.
3. Make and enforce any rule necessary for
the betterment of the school and to carry out
the purposes of this organization. "
The council was capably led by four officers
elected at-large on April 1 by the student body. Mr.
Winek was the able and dedicated sponsor for the
group.

A.F.S.
"Walk together, talk together, then ye shall have
peace . . . "
Since 1958, the American Field Service program has been an
integral part of W.H.S. life. Under its auspices, eight foreign students from around the globe have spent memorable years as Senior
students at W.H.S. As a member of an American family, each
A.F.Ser got a first-hand knowledge of our life. Through summer
The most memorable and exciting year of my life
began on the 2nd of August, when I boarded the S.S.
Ryndam at Southampton, to take me across the
English Channel to Rotterdam, then boarded the S.S.
Goote Beer for the ten day crossing of the Atlantic
and my arrival in New York. My greatest ambition
had been realized due to the efforts of the greatest
organization in the world . . . A . F . S .
Then came the long bus trip to Davenport, and my
first meeting with my new family, The Craigs. I
must admit that I was scared to even get off the bus,
but all my fears were overcome when I was greeted
by Earle and Jean Craig, and Mike--the most wonderful and cheerful family I could ever have hoped for,
who opened their hearts and home to me, and treated
me as their own son, to make my year so happy.
I come from England, that 111* ole country from
across the sea, and I live in the city of Bristol, population of over 400,000 people, which is situated in the
Southwest, about 100 miles south of the capital,
Liverpool. My father is the Chief Immigration Officer of Bristol; my mother is one of the many "British
Housewives"; and with my two brothers, Jim and
John, and my sister, Gillian, we make up the Downing family.
Once again, I would like to thank everybody in
Kewanee, or should I say Wethersfield, for giving me
this wonderful opportunity. This includes the parents,
Mr. Winek and the staff, the student body, a truly
"bloody fantastic" group of people, and my American
family. I cherish the memories, and treasure your
friendship.
Thank you.

My float in the parade
A "cruise " with friends
School
Mabuhay sa Philipinas et sa A . F . S . (Long live the
Philippines and A . F . S . ) has become my motto after
I spent ninety exciting, fun-filled days this past summer in Iloilo, the Philippines. On June 18, I immediately fell in love with the exotic charm and abounding
friendliness of this land and its people. I soon realized that of all these 31.5 million Filipinos, A . F . S .
had chosen the best family for me--the Severo
Pison's. By Philippine standards we have a small
family, even with my addition, consisting of my two
brothers, and my three sisters.
Despite a never-ending battle with the mosquitoes,
I dearly loved every moment of my stay. The fun began the day I celebrated my seventeenth birthday with
a party and roast pig, a delicacy. Later, standing
barefoot in the cool but slimy mud of my father's rice
farm, I triumphantly planted a quarter of a rice field
and rode a caraboo. Looking on, there were fiesta
days in July, for which I was armed with bicarbonate
of soda. Among the fiesta activities were the carnival, the coronation of the queen and her princesses,
and the highlight for me--riding on the Iloilo City
High School's float in the fiesta parade.
The climax of my summer was attending school
with 4500 other students who radiated the friendliness
of all Filipinos.
The day of my departure came all to quickly--the
saddest day of my summer. Behind I was leaving the
land I had learned to call home, many friends and
classmates, and most of all my dear family. With me
I was taking cherished memories of a perfect summer. Most important, I had made many enduring
friendships, which, although they are ten thousand
miles away, seem just next door through the international bond that is A . F . S .
Sincerely,
Marsha Mc Neill
My birthday -- family and pig

F.T.A.
The Myrtle E. Nelson Chapter of the Future Teachers of America consisted of 87
members interested in the profession of teaching. The organization's main purpose
was to acquaint students with the responsibilities and privileges this profession offers.
During the year the FTA observed Future Teachers Week in April and joined the Kewanee club in the making of two banners for the state FTA convention in Rock Island.
Some members also attended several Blackhawk district meetings and the FTA workshop at Galva in October. Monthly meetings included guest AFS students who spoke on
their schools, the annual Christmas sing with Miss Nelson, discussions by members
on scholarships, and a humorous talk by third-grade teacher Miss Warner on her
teaching experiences. The group was led by Miss Whitmyer and Miss Brown.

French Club
The main purpose of La Societe Des Amis Francais, French
Club, is to create interest in the French language and culture. To
be a member of this local organization one must have taken or be
taking French and have a passing grade. The club had 125 members.
Programs for French Club were varied. This year they included:
1. Talks by our exchange students.
2. A talk by Carla Tolbert on her European tour with the
Youth Band of America.
3. A full length movie, "Gigot, " concerning the life of a
deaf-mute, played by Jackie Gleason, in Paris.
4. A dinner planned and prepared by club members using
French recipes.
5. A French Club Week when attention was focused on
French culture and French Club activities. During the
week the organization sponsored a tea for the faculty,
sold French doughnuts at noon, and decorated the halls
for a French Christmas. The week was highlighted by the
annual group Christmas party, an important social event
for members only.
French Club's rousing participation, making it the largest organization in the school, has evolved from its consistancy of interesting activities and programs, and the dedication of its sponsor, Mrs. Franklin Coplan.

color and eight extra pages were added. A new method of soliciting patrons was also
instituted. Miss Simpson, patient and industrious sponsor, deserved much credit for
the publication, as did the hard working staff and solicitors. The faculty and photographer, Mr. DeVrieze, have also aided in the production by their fine cooperation.

"W" Club, our exclusive lettermen's organization,
consisted of boys who earned a major letter in either
football, basketball, track, or baseball. Most members of the club have proudly displayed their numerals andbig, green "W'"s on their letter jackets--to be
admired by parents, younger athletes, and of course,
girls.
This year's club boasted one four-year letter man,
agile Senior Rick Scott. Rick, who participated in all
the major sports each of his four years in high
school, made all-conference teams on several occasions. Although hampered by a shoulder injury his
Senior year, Rick still managed to break the school
record by scoring over 1000 points in basketball and
earn his letter. He was a valuable asset to our teams
and well deserving of the honors heaped upon him.

the membership. A committee was also appointed to
formulate a constitution. The club was ably led by
sponsors, Mrs. Shook and Mr. Bickhaus.

The curtain slowly closes . . .
The play, "Our Year", has ended, but . . .
new plays will soon take its place.
The actors will assume new roles, but . . .
they shall never be one cast again . . .
Wethersfield forever,
Long live her name.
Fight on to glory,
Victory, and fame.
Wave the brilliant banner
For all to see.
Fight Green and White
For a victory!
Wether sfield forever,
Honor we bring.
Raise high your voices,
Loud her praises sing.
Long may we adore thee,
Wether sfield High.
Proud of our school
As the years go by!
