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.

 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.

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.

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
