The Beginning Freshman day in February of l9S2 ushered in our three years of activity, fun, and plain, hard work at Frankford. Our freshman year brought us the spring show --- A Waltz Dream -the Public League Baseball Championship, and a period of adjustment to a completely new way of school life. After school clubs, sports, and iobs, dances at Somerton, new friends, and above all new studies were a strange and somewhat awesome thing at first. ln our Sep- tember term we purchased AA. books and became ardent football fans, seeing for the first time that classic Thanksgiving Day game with Northeast Catholic. Christmas rolled around, and we witnessed our first Frankford Christmas pageant. With our junior year came the spring show-- the Frankford Frolics- -the Junior Trip to Wash- ington, D. C., and the Junior Prom, ln our Septem- ber term we saw a repeat performance of the activities of the preceding year, viewing them with the happy, comfortable feeling known only to juniors, seeing the excited but somewhat frightened joy of the freshmen and the happiness of the seniors, somewhat saddened by the realization that they are viewing it all for the last time. The Ending February of l9'54 finally arrived and with it the long anticipated senior year. The spring show, lvlusicrama, and our Senior Trip up the l-ludson to West Point and Indian Point Park were the highlights of this term. ln the September term we chose our senior officers, committees, and sponsor, went to our Senior Prom, saw our last Christmas Pageant and AA Awards assembly, and perhaps most important of all had our Senior Morning. An added thrill to our senior year was the co-football championship of the Public League, of which Frank- ford was the representative in the playoff for the City title. To our class, this perhaps meant more than it did to the rest of the school, not only because the boys on the team were our classmates but also because it had happened in our senior year and would always be associated with that extra special time. The Future On January 28, l955 we will graduate at Baptist Temple. Thus our three years at Frankford will be drawn to a close. No longer will we be compara- tively carefree high school students. Whether entering college or the business world, we will have new responsibilities. The magical and ever written about days of high school will be gone forever. But we will never forget them nor Frankford l-ligh School itself, for Frankford possesses that unde- finable auality that makes it more than just a school. We owe a debt to Frankford that can never be repaid, but we must nevertheless strive to do so. There is only one way in which this can be accomplished and that is to meet the challenge that lies before us with a determination to succeed in in a manner worthy a graduate of the Frankford l-ligh School. fail!! 4-IQML we . ,Www
