CL SS OFFICERS Seniors: James Burgart, Samuel Tamburo. Miss Walker, Mrs. Klinke, Michael Michael, Kenneth Adams. Juniors: Mrs. Winger, Robert McLaughlin, Robert Edwards, Palmer Means, Valentino Mennito, Mr. Burnett. Sophomores: James Shields, Gilbert Ashor, Mrs. Terwilligcr, Miss Casillo, Raymond Owczykowski, Dale Evans. Freshmen: Miss Stuchell, Donald Powers, Bryce Schrecongost, Dahn Cappel, Charles Best, Miss Mathison. This year the boys seem to have monopolized the official positions in all four classes. However, with the help of hardworking sponsors, they have done a great job in handling the assemblies and various social activities. The freshman class sponsored the successful Snow- ball l-lop in January. Their original decorating and colored lighting drew favorable comment from the large crowd. By working hard the officers, Don Powers, presi- dent, Dahn Cappel, vice presidentg Bryce Schrecengost, secretary, and Charles Best, treasurer, have made fresh- man affairs prominent. In order to finance the Sophomore Hop, the mem- bers of the class sold Ken Hi stationery very profitably. The sales were capably promoted by Raymond Owczy- kowski, president, Gilbert Ashor, vice president, James Shields, secretary, and Dale Evans, treasurer. The junior officers and sponsors probably get more headaches and hard work than any of the others. They have to worry about the Prom. The Harvest Moon Ball in October was just the start of the endless money-raising activities of the junior class. School letters, Flying Dutchmen, and candy followed. However, the Prom is always worth the trouble and Robert McLaughlin, presi- dent, Palmer Means, vice president, Valentino Mennito, secretary, and Robert Edwards, treasurer, have done their best to make it a success. The senior advisors and officers bear the brunt of assemblies, Commencement, and Class Day. This year the honored four officers were Mike Michaels, president, James Burgart, vice president, Sam Tamburo, secretary, and Kenneth Adams, treasurer.
