Senior lass Histor Before the curtain comes down on our all too brief four years of adventure, we the Class of 1955 wish to put into writing a few of the many activities in which we have been engaged. At the beginning of our freshman year, we learned that our advisor was to be Miss Pauline Fritz. That year our oliicers included Anthony Pacilio as president, Dick Reed as vice-president, Rita O'Brien as secretary, and Anna Martello as treasurer. We became famous for our pizza sales in our sophomore year and these, along with our Sophomore Hop, brought instant recognition from the other classes. With Frank Czech as president, Anthony Pacilio as vice- president, Joanna Lane as secretary, and Stephen Royka as treasurer, we had a very successful year. As juniors, we really started to get busy. We held several dances along with our pizza', sales. Our big project that year was our ,lunior Prom. The class ofiicers, who were president, Richard Prince, vice-presi- dent, Stephen Roykag secretary, .loan Cilentog and treasurer, Anna Calabrese, selected the name of Spring Holiday for this big occasion. Although this was a busy year, it could not compare with the numerous pro- jects that we undertook in our senior year. Now we come to the last and most important year of all. We found it very hard to believe that we were actually seniors and nearing the end of our high school careers. The officers included Anthony Della Pietra as president, Joan Cilento as vice-president, Louise Pavoni as secretary, and Donald Seidel as treasurer. To start things going, we had our big Senior Ball which was entitled A Night to Remember. Next came our maga- zine campaign in which we realized a profit of 314-00. Numerous baked food sales and several dances were held. Our last big projects were Senior Fun Night and the Minstrel Show which enabled us to go to New York. Coronation was also an event of great interest, with its regal participants and courtly splendor. The final climax of our high school years will be Commencement, at which time we will receive our coveted diplomas. We, as graduates, will soon be faced with the trials and tribulations of the big, wide, wonderful worldf' To our teachers, our parents and friends, and especially to our advisor, Miss Fritz, the Class of 1955 wishes to pay special homage. We know that without their assis- tance, the class would not have been able to accomplish all that was expected of them. It is hoped that we will not be forgotten, for deep in our hearts, there will always be a place for East Rochester High School.
