FRESHMAN YEAR As Freshmen, things were strange and new, The corridors and mid-years too, Boy, were those mid-years ever tough! Where do the teachers get that stuff? As graduation day draws nearer, we look back upon those first won- derful days at C. H. S., in September 1955, when we entered as nervous and bewildered Freshmen. After weathering the storm of in- evitable ieers and teasing of the upperclassmen, the feeling of nerv- ousness wore off, we ioined the crowd at Guidi's and gained more confidence in ourselves. We held our first class election under the supervision of Mr. Patrick Hastings, our newly-appointed ad- visor. To lead our class that first year we chose the following: Peter Rego- nini, President, Dorothy Pupecki, Vice- President, Michael Duffy, Treasurer, and Betty Ann Notaro, Secretary. As time wore on, we heard rumors of the terrifying Mid-Years and diligently studied for them. When the results were out, the Class of '59 had passed with flying colors. We had been initiated and accepted. June approached quickly and we eagerly anticipated the long summer vacation, and looked forward to the day when we would become Sopho- mores. SOPHOMORE YEAR As Sophomores we are wiser now, We tell the naive Freshmen how To find their fumbling way about, We're more mature without a doubt Once again we returned to Clinton High, as confident Sophomores and met our new advisor, Mr. Joseph Burgwinkle, who capably conducted our second class election. ln Septem- ber 1956, Joe Ryan was chosen Class President and Dorothy Pupecki, Vice-President, Eleanor Joyce, Secre- tary, and Michael Burdell, Treasurer. We soon became a part of the social whirl at C.H.S., with many of our classmates ioining the various athletic teams and still others taking part of the Thanksgiving Show and Inter-class Dramatics. Dues were collected regularly and our Class Treasury firmly established. Mid- Years held no terror for us now and once again we conquered them. Another year had passed and the long, carefree days of summer lay ahead. With enthusiasm, we looked toward the future when, as Juniors, we would return once more.
