Local Hoboes. Hanky-Panky? Floral Fountain? History Our rings finally arrived early in February, and our Valentine’s dance, “Cupid’s Kaleidoscope” gave us a good place to show them off. Time flew, and soon after tne spring car wash, which gave our treasury a huge boost. Regents were upon us. Somehow, we managed to struggle through the exams and then eagerly looked forward to Prom night. “Paris by Night” was beautiful — from the sidewalk cafes to the Eiffel Tower. The highlight of the evening was the coronation of Laurie Peterson by the previous queen, Laura Yantsos. It was hard to believe that we would go back to G.H.S. as Seniors, but it didn’t take us long to get used to the fact that we were on top. Our last year began in August when we started the magazine drive. Although we couldn't meet the challenge set by the last year’s Seniors, we weren’t behind with $8200. Our Senior officers were: Colin Van Tuyl, President; Jeff Sherwood, Vice-President; Jovlene Dinizio, Secretary; and Karen Mazzaferro. Treasurer. We were now faced with the burden of college applications, interviews, college boards, and achievement tests. Then came the usual time of year when everyone on the Beachcomber staff was suffering from a good case of the jitters as deadlines drew near. At last — spring and our trip to Washington, D.C. The four days we spent there would not easily be forgotten. Now for the last time we moved forward as a group, knowing that in a short time we would pass through the doors of G.H.S. and each one of us would take a separate path into the future. I LI

Hang down your head, Jim Brandi. Ring around the rosie! Pals ’til the end. Can it! Class As the caps and gowns flowed down the familiar auditorium for the last time on June 22, 1969, the sound of “Pomp and Circumstance” brought tears to our eyes as we remembered our past four years at G. H. 5. It all began one September morning in 1966 as we found our lockers and assembled in our homerooms with a maximum amount of confusion. We held our first class meeting in the early fall and elected our officers: Colin Van Tuyl, President; Bill Price, Vice-President; Barbara Helinski, Treasurer; Joylene Dinizio, Secretary. The months passed quickly and, before we knew it, we were making plans for our first dance, “Leprechaun’s Discotheque”. It was a great success and we even had our live leprechaun (John White in disguise!). We began our sophomore year by re-electing the same President and Secretary, with Jeff Sherwood as Treasurer, and Bill Price as Vice-President. It was soon time to start thinking about our two semi-formals. “Swinging Chalet” fit right in witn the Christmas season as the gym was transformed into a lovely living room setting complete with fireplace. Then came “Floral Fountain' in the spring and the gym burst into bloom with hundreds of flowers. Summer passed all too quickly and soon we were back at G.H.S., but now things were different. We were the upperclassmen. We re-elected Joylene Dinizio as Secretary, with Wayne Mazzaferro as President; Laurie Peterson as Vice-President; and Karen Mazzaferro as Treasurer. Our next thoughts were occupied by planning our Halloween dance, “Halloween Happening”.
