1959 was the magic year when the Class of 1972 started the long climb up the ladder of education. The years since then have held happiness along with disappointment, and challenge along with work. No matter where the class may go after graduation, our wonderful memories of ACS will stay with us, for this is the place where we all grew-up, laughed, cried, and most of all, learned of what lies ahead. Our freshman year started out with many workers eager to go. Their efforts were coordinated by our officers Michele Marconi, President, Mary Stapleton, Vice President, Anne Lauridsen, Treasurer, Lorraine Gallo, Secretary, Barb Shisler, Stu- dent Council Representative, and Tony Mello, Student Court. Mrs. Coniglio, our advisor, helped us make successes of our candle sale, dance, and bake sale. Our freshman candle sale had gone so well that we decided to sponsor another in our sophomore year. We also started a Class of 1972 tradition that year, the selling of roses for Valentine's Day. This project was more successful than anything we had done before. Our leaders that year were Marlene Yousey, President, Barb Shisler, Vice President, Ryan Forrestel, Treasurer, Therese Coughlin, Secretary, Tony Mello, Student Council Representative, and Karen Caffery, Student Court, along with Mrs. Coniglio, our advisor. In our junior year we had a new advisor, Mrs. Gaddis, and a new cabinet: Mary Stapleton, President, Karen Caffery, Vice President, Peggy Bedford, Treasurer, Michele Marconi, Secretary, and john Rogers, Student Court. They gave us many new ideas which got us off to a great start. We sold Rex Cleaner, sponsored several dances, and once again sold roses on Valentine's Day. The highlight of the year was the first week in October when we finally got our class rings. We ended a very profitable year by co-sponsoring the jr.-Sr. Prom f'Colour My World. When we finally got to our senior year, we found how exciting being a senior really was. We got off to an early start under the leadership of Mary Stapleton, President, Karen Caffery, Vice President, Bob Tiedt, Treasurer, Marilyn Babel, Secretary, Keith Rauch and john Rogers, Student Council Representatives, and a new advisor, Mt. Ulrich. We were in- volved in the traditional senior activities of selling refreshments at football and basketball games, making good use of the Senior Lounge, and sponsoring the Sadie Hawkins Dance in honor of our classmate, Stan Barone. We also continued our tradtion of selling roses on Valentine's Day. Our senior banquet, the jr.-Sr. Prom, and graduation provided a beautiful con- clusion to thirteen years at ACS. Through the years of work we have become 130 students united as one. We have enjoyed each otherfs company and have learned from each other. And where'er we go we'll ne'er forget Akron and her orange and her black.
