 Paul Counter was our class president that year. He was aided by Jerry Galusha, Theresa Farr, and Barbara Harris as vice president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. As we look back now on our freshman year, we have fond memories of the gay and happy times we had then. Jerry Galusha was our class president for the first half of our sophomore year. Steve Skellie took over as president when Jerry moved away. Noreen Zizza was our vice president in 1956. Theresa Farr as secre- tary and Barbara Harris as treasurer complete the list of class officers for our sophomore year. One of the big events of our sophomore year was our dance, the Cherry Hop. It was in 1956 that we started our cake sales during the lunch hour, too. Our sophomore year will be fondly remembered, for it typifies our years of fun and hard work together. 1957 was a big year in our high school life. To lead us through this most important year we had Peter Accardi as president; Noreen Zizza, vice presi- dent; Theresa Farr, recording secretary; Sharon O’Neil, corresponding secretary; and Janet Jersey, treasurer. To begin our busy junior year we sponsored a round and square dance, the Junior Jamboree. The

Our Adventures A Around Af ad Scdood We have spent many years here at Queensbury High, years that seemed long while we studied and played, but years that are so short when looking back. To keep these years in some tangible form for the future, this history will bring out the outstanding adventures of our high school years. Though we can not tell the whole story, these pictures will, perhaps, bring out recollections of incidents, trivial yet mem- orable. As freshmen, we remember report cards, parties, English, dances, and fun. Our sophomore year was filled with games, biology, fashions, and World History. Our junior year brought the play, the prom, homework, sports, and rings. We will remember our trip, our dance, Macbeth, Driver Training, gradu- ation, Adult Education, and our fun-filled senior year. But wait, let’s go through our years more slowly. When we think of our freshman year, our first thoughts are of our dance - the Freshman Frolic. This was our first money-making project toward our goal of a Washington trip.

selling of magazines was another of our money-making projects for our junior year. Prizes, which were given to those who sold the greatest number of magazine subscriptions, were won by five members of our class Sharon O'Neil. Gerry Eckhart, Linda Burnett, Eddie Winchip, and Bob Jones. We also sold Christmas and all-occasion cards in our junior year. A big event of our junior year was one we had been waiting for the longest - our class rings. To our great pleasure, they arrived just before Christmas vacation. In previous years we had so admired the class rings of others that we were quite excited when we could proudly display our own. The next project in our junior year was our play, DEADLY ERNEST, which was presented on the evening of March 29, 1957. The members of our class worked hard and earnestly on this project and all gave a sigh of relief when the big night arrived and the play proved to be a success. The success of the play was due to the devoted work of the class, the fine performances of the participants, and to the directors. Mrs. Rooke and Mrs. Fuller, whose painstaking work truly con- tributed to the fine performance
