Do you remember . . . when we arrived here in 1961 as sophmores? That was quite a year — getting accustomed to the loud hum which sounded the passing of classes, searching for the myriad classrooms that always seemed to be situated in the wrong place, looking for the swimming pool on the fourth floor and for the seniors smoking in the cafeterias. There was the Sophomore Hop, Julius Caesar and Brigadoon, and the ever occurring sur- prises like the weird hats which appeared after someone spread the rumor that the seniors had gone to Washington. But it was soon over. All of a sudden we were juniors. What a junior year that was! Remem- ber gallavanting around in our strange costumes (a pack of chewing gum, a beer can, a shower) and running wildly through the halls on Junior Day, and then nearly breaking our necks in the gym afterwards? That year had She Stoops to Conquer (what a wow that was!) and Music Man, and that fabulous cruise through Ebbtide at the Junior Prom. But with all the en- joyment, we still envied the seniors. How many times would we have aban- doned all the playmaking, if only to graduate with them ? And then this year we had our chance. We were seniors, the lords and ladies of his majesty's (Mr. Galloway’s) building. Never will this year be forgotten, for we can consider this our best year — something like sixteen bomb scares, Macbeth and West Side Story, the regal Senior Ball and its little green snake, and that trip, wow, what a trip! Did someone really set fire to the motel after we left? Going to Washington wras worth every day of these years, even if it did rain for twro of the three days and even if half of us did w'ant our money back! And of course graduation. Is anyone to forget graduation ? Most of us are nowT college bound; others will embark immediately to vocations; others to places and things unknown. But whatever the future holds for us, these three years are imbued in our minds as years always to be cherished. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS — Left to right: John Ciarelli, president, Joe Sugamele, vice-president, Peggy Ingino, secretary, Clifford Giles, treasurer. 29
