SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President MARIE KUDERA Treasurer JOAN MANINO I'II Remember After graduation I ll be thlnkung of you all Of the times we had In class and those rough games of ball Of runnlng out early coming In late And of our dearest pleasures and untreasured hate I II remember January exams and how we used to cram And of Frlday afternoon lunches conslstlng of bread and jam Of the cold wlnter months when we used to freeze And of that gurl In the last row who always had to sneeze I II remember my uniform of maroon and tan The janltor hale and hearty What a manl The wooden desks the stairs too uncomfortable for words But then came sprung and the endless sunglng of the birds I II remember too the Senuor prom one December day And the hour we went trottlng home lets say the break of day Of the wonderful boatrnde with all excltlng rldes And how our Academy nearly lost nineteen precious Ilves But graduation day IS the memory I II hold nearest For all my days to follow seem nothnng but the dearest I II remember you my classmates each and everyone Tall we meet agaln may God s wlll be done DOROTHY O BRIEN Vice Presldent ..., KATHLEEN REPETTO Secretary ......
