SENIOR HISTORY We, the Seniors have finally reached our goal and fulfilled the requirements of true Space Cadets. This fabulous trip through Interplanetary PHS began only four years ago, when as small Freshmen we entered into this vast, new universe. Until our Freshman Party, we were lost in the clouds and were doubtful as to where we were traveling. With Stuart Lambert as our Pilot and Neal Resnikoff, Ioan Gladden and Paul Troth, our faithful crew, we were able to get a fast start on our new air lane. As Sophomores We found ourselves well acquainted with this new world, which was to be our home for three more years. To guide us across the Milky Way were Stuart Lambert, our experienced Pilot and Harvey Skolnick, Loretta Comi, and Ioan Gladden, our loyal crewmen. Putting on our jet-propelled air wings, we continued our flight into outer space as Iuniors. Steering our rocket ship was Iohn Westcott, aiding him were Mike Boruch, Barbara Warren and Roberta Mingione. Even on this fantastic flight, we discovered that we needed funds, so we decided to sell PHS Pennants to our fellow travelers. New stars were developed as we gave our first play, Good Housekeeping. During the summer, a new, fast rising star was born. Milton Campbell, a, member of the class of '53, brought honor and fame, not only to PHS, but to the world when he placed second in the decathlon during the Olympics. We are proud to say that Milt was a member of our graduating class. To begin what was to be a perfect year we had an undefeated football team. Next a lucky moonbeam touched our class and won a talent show which made us the proud owners of our new Cardinal Bird. A great applause came out of the sky when we gave our Senior Play, Our Miss Brooks. Steering us on this last lap were Frank Blatz, president and Michael Gar- zillo, Sandra Kline, and Mary Laws, our able officers. Graduation came fast and we all felt a little stardust in the air when we walked up to receive our diplomas. We weien't sure as to which star we'd reach or what rainbow we'd climb, but we felt a sense of belonging to this new world, in which we will be its future leaders. nil 5 .
