This document provides a summary of the senior year of the Wyoming Seminary Class of 1963 based on photos and information from their yearbook. It includes photos and identifications of seniors who were involved in various student government organizations, academic clubs, performing arts groups, and athletic teams. The document also shares photos and articles from local newspapers about their graduation ceremonies in June 1963. The summary highlights the dedication of their yearbook to a teacher, photos of their class officers and advisors, and short bios of some of the distinguished seniors.
2. What follows is a look at our
senior year as presented by the
editors of our Wyoming.
Most of the photos are those
that include seniors. I tried to
find and identify all seniors,
but the book is inconsistent in
identifying who’s in the
pictures. I did not include
photos of groups that had no
seniors in them. Some
activities had no group picture.
For those I used the portraits of
the seniors in that activity.
I apologize for any errors in
identification or labeling.
