CLASS HISTORY The year 1945, we as a class began our study for the future. In 1953 we could hardly wait to be promoted to high school. Now, we are impatiently waiting to leave our Alma Mater and to capture what the future is holding in store for us. In our freshman year we chose Ellen Dorgan as our President. Our Vice- President was Nina Belloff; Secretary, Kathy Parker and Treasurer, Alan Wagner. Our student council representatives were Ellen Dorgan, Richard Flaherty and Marjorie Badglcy. Under the leadership ol Mrs. I)unn we had a successful food sale and a 1h x social. Larry Blair. Phyllis Frappier, Marion Reeves and David Brown left us in this year. We entered our sophomore year, consisting of 31 happy students, by having Alan Wagner, President; George Smithlcr, Vice-President: Patricia Smith. Secretary and Richard Flaherty, Treasurer. Mrs. Crumb was our class advisor. Our student council members were Alan Wagner, Helen Nowak and Charles Drake. We ordered our class rings and had a food sale. Aside from this we did a lot of planning, but nothing materialized. Steve Millard joined us in 1954. When we became juniors in September 1955. our class advisor was Miss Reed. We obtained our class rings in October. Our class projects were a food sale, Junior Play and Junior Prom. We chose the following officers: President, Richard Flaherty: Vice-President, Ellen Dorgan; Secretary. Kathy Parker: and Treasurer, Steve Millard. Our student council representatives were George Wetterhahn, Richard Flaherty and Nina Belloff. In our senior and most important year at A. H. S. we lost Kathy Parker. Kaye Sampson, Mildred Sidmore, Barbara Young and Keith Hockey. We elected Ellen Dorgan. President: Richard Flaherty. Vice-President; Patricia Smith, Secretary; and Steve Millard, Treasurer. Our student council repre- sentatives were Ellen Dorgan, George Wetterhahn and Marjorie Baelgley. Mrs. Howard was our class advisor. Our senior play Out ol the Frying Pan was a smash hit. We had The North Country Ramblers and The Knights of Rhythm play for the dances we gave. Graduating in June 1957 with 27 members, we will leave our Alma Mater and enter the world on our own with this motto: WE HAVE CROSSED THE BAY, THE OCEAN IS BEFORE I S. i [ II 1
