The Fourth Year Well, we finally made it. Just think. Seniors! Patiently we waited for Senior Day. March 23. 1956, to be officially recognized when the Torch was handed down to our reelected President. Jack Geraldo. The show the 12A'$ put on for us was great, and afterwards a dance was held in the gym. Later on. “gangway New York, here we come!” Some of us went to Bird-land. or to Basin Street or to other night spots. Wherever we went, however, we all had a great time. The only part we didn’t like was ge ting up the next morning. We will always have a wonderful memory of our Senior Prom. Moments to Remember.” May 4. 1956. fchich we held at the Hotel Essex House. That day all the girls could be found in the beauty parlors, and the boys picking up their tuxedos, or in the barber shop. At eight o’clock we made our grand entrance; the girls in beautiful gowns, looking like story book princesses, and the handsome boys in their tuxedos looking like Princes Charming. After dining and dancing, to Mr. Di Nardo’s orchestra, most of us headed for New York. We practically stripped the Copacabana and Latin Quarter, grabbing anything in sight to keep as a remembrance of the occasion. Later, we split up and had breakfast at the homes of various girls. We will always remember meeting the milk man as we came in that morning, getting to bed at six o’clock, and then getting up at eight to get to work. We had waited so long for our prom, and it passed by so quickly, we wish we could relive it all over again. September came, and with it our last five months of school. We immediately began raising money for the Torch. In October we held our last school dance. Autumn Leaves.” It was a beautiful Friday night and the gym was crowded with happy guests. In October too. we set to work to produce our Senior Day show for November. Everyone walked around, humming songs, and trying to think of skits for the show. Our Farewell Dance was held in January. We realized that this would be the last social affair we would hold as a class, and so we had a very enjoyable and memorable evening. January 30. 1957 arrived and at eight p.m. our graduation exercises were held. As we walked down the aisle in our caps and gowns, with tears in our eyes, we realized this was it — the big moment of our lives. Our futures and success were waiting for us. We were now on our own, and we had to make our own decisions. It was up to us to make good and lead a happy, successful life. We could no longer wander into our class rooms or our adviser’s office to ask advice. We have left our four years of East Side behind us to enter adulthood. However, the memories of East Side, our friends, and teachers will linger with us through our lives. On our lips will be East Side, and in our hearts will be our Alma Mater. 27
