Senior Class History In September 1952, we the Class of '55, made our entrance into Senior High School. As Sophomores we were full of confidence and anxious to please. To us, the future looked bright and rosy. Plunging into our extra-curricular activities, we saw some of our girls become majorettes while others became cheerleaders. Many of the boys went out for the football and basketball teams and have since become a credit to our school. Our Junior year began in 1953 with a great many of our students partici- pating in various club activities. During football season our victory over Old Forge with a score of 14-12 was the biggest upset of the year. On Thanksgiving Day we defeated Pittston Central 12-2. In basketball our team went to the finals in the Jaycee tournament. Our Junior-Senior Prom was held on June 11, 1954 and for the first time in many years the girls wore gowns. This and the beautifully decorated gym added to its tremendous success. After many long years of service our much respected superintendent, Miss Elizabeth G. Battle, retired. As niors in '54 we were honored with a new superintendent and a new princi . Mr. Francis A. Earley was appointed to succeed Miss Battle and Mr. C. William McNulty was appointed principlfof Senior High School. Miss Mary Frances conlan was placed in charge of teaching the Senior history classes. The annual Turkey Day game proved to be victorious for us as we scored over Pittston Central 19-0. We were very proud of our new stage curtain which arrived in time for our annual Band Concert .... in which many of our Seniors participated. Our Prom was a great success thanks to our Juniors and thus we turned our thoughts to graduation. With the conclusion of Commencement exercises we look ahead filled with eagerness but we shall never forget our school days which shall live in our memories forever. Rose Marie Amico Kathleen Sites 23
