Dobson BEGINNING with the formal organization of the Class of 1955 during the early part of their sophomore year, and continuing through the climax of their high school careers, the Senior Prom, the 1955 graduates, guided patiently and understanding for three years by Miss Louise Stevens, compiled an outstanding record of individual and collective achievements. With the election of sophomore officers, the formation of a gov- erning body—the Class Council, and the ratification of their con- stitution, the members of the class of '55 had laid a solid foundation on which to build a promising future. In January, a large per- centage of the class flocked to the Boys’ Gym to participate in their first function, a party— January Jamboree. This was followed in the spring by an equally successful picnic, the Frankfurter Frolic. Sophomore journalism classes originated the idea which finally led to the establishment of a class newspaper, called the '55er. This was the first time such a project, originated in the sophomore year, successfully survived all three grades. As senior editors of the '55er, Margo Fleer and Sonny Albert published two interesting and widely read issues. The year 1953-54 saw the class making elaborate preparations for its January 23 Junior Prom. Under the supervision of co-chairman Lee Simes and Larry Shapiro, Hawaiian Interlude brought Waikiki to Great Neck. The crowning of the king and queen, Al Stern and Puffy Cahn, brought this gala evening to a fitting climax. In the spring the class again turned out en masse to attend an informal party-square dance, as well as the annual class picnic. 20
