Our wonderful carrousel collapsed before the night was through, but because it was Valentine’s Day no one seemed to mind. In February we made our own tradition when we caused a major scandal (and almost a world war) by receiving our class rings before the reigning senior class went to Washington. Time flew by. Before we knew it, June was upon us and we were faced with the gigantic task of planning our prom, while studying for our Regents exams. Our exams were tough, but we got through just in time to put the finishing touches on our Oriental tea room, (in reality-the gym) and to thoroughly enjoy the last event of our Junior year. After a carefree summer we returned to G.H.S., not quite believing we were at last the Great Ones. We were Seniors! It didn’t take us long to adjust to the fact and start acting like Seniors. Actually our Senior year had begun in August when Maria Diaz called the first meeting for our magazine sale. For a while it looked as if we wouldn’t get to Washington, but in the last few days, we all got busy and broke all previous rec- ords. topping last year’s class by $500. For our Senior year we re-elected the same officers who had run our Junior class so competently. Being Seniors also gave us the privilege of having the study hall for our homeroom and Mr. Vindigni for our advisor. We moved into the study hall as if it had been made especially for us, despite the (faint?) odor of Limburger cheese, trapped behind the radiator and the cluttered win- dow sills, (lockers hadn’t arrived). As spring rolled around, acute cases of Senioritis became apparent, keeping Mr. Vindigni constantly on his toes. Our yearbook editors, approaching utter collapse, got the best Beachcomber yet off to the publisher and loafed delightedly through the Eas- ter holidays that followed. In May, we once again changed tradition by going to Washington on Memorial Day weekend. This made wardrobe planning much easier and eliminated bulky winter coats. The weather was beautiful and we had a wonder- ful time. Which of us will succeed? Which of us will fulfill his dreams? Only time will tell. M.D. Look what 1 do. A trace of deviltry. t i (Jx «r i: v M v « . X

Class As we walked down that aisle for the last time, memories of past years flashed through our minds. Each of us was remembering the past four years and trying appre- hensively to see into the future. It all began four years ago in September. We climbed up that second set of stairs, this time to stay. We had made it at last. For the first time we elected our officers— Ed Copin. President; John HanflT, Vice-President; Bobby Heaney. Treasurer; and Diane Ship, Secretary. Soon we planned our first dance, “Leapin’ Leprechaun.” For the first time we were working together as a group and we kept our fingers crossed, hoping it would be a huge success. We were a little shaky at first, but soon we were all out dancing together in a gigantic circle and having a great time. After a summer full of parties and lazy days at the beach, we returned to G.H.S. to begin our second year as high school students. First we re-elected Ed Copin and Diane Ship to their respective offices, with Bobby Heaney as Vice-President and Judy Cook as Treasurer. Then we started making plans for our Christmas dance, which we entitled. “Heaven’s Holly.” After a roving scavenger hunt, we finally succeeded in transforming the gym into a Christmas wonderland, complete with our very own an- gel. The hiring of the Royals made our dance complete, and although it set our trea- sury back a wee bit, we all had a wonderful time. The Spring dance, “Spring Wish,” was our next big project. For this event we turned the gym into a beautiful azalea gar- den with flowers “borrowed” from property newly acquired by the school. In 1965 we once again returned to G.H.S. This time we were the upperclassmen, and from the start we made our presence known to the “lower classes.” It didn’t take long for us to discover that our new status was accompanied by lots of hard work and many extra study hours. We again elected Ed Copin as President, to be assisted by Vice-President HanflT, Secretary Jester and Treasurer Cook. Before long ideas and planning were underway for our Halloween dance. As a result of another scavenger hunt, “Halloween a Go-Go” added another feather to our cap, and we eagerly began making plans for our Valentine dance. We named it “Cupid’s Carrousel,” and set out
