Foreword

The 1966 Annual Staff wishes to ex-
press our sincere hope that our WARRIOR
will be cherished in the memory of the
years we have spent in school. May it
provide a reminder of classes and time
spent outside of the classroom.

As graduates, we leave behind us the
doors of schooling and go our own ways
in life. But whatever each of us may do,
we hope that a gl ance at the '66 WARRIOR
will bring back many· memories of our
days at Walnut High.

I have been he re for a year in the la nd of my dreams a nd now time has come that I have
to step out of this wonderful dream.

First I thank th e American Fie ld Ser vi ce , my D utch famil y and the Drakes, my American
family, who made this stay possi ble. I a lso would like to say a word of thanks to the personnel
of Walnut Hi gh a nd the whole Walnut Comm unity for making this stay a n unforgettable one for
me. It was j ust great; as we say in Dutch "Geweldi g " ! I am sure tha t this a lways will remain
in my memory as one of the nicest thin gs in my youth .

Since re ly,
