OUR STORy September 1950 rolled around . . . the class of 1954 seated itself nervously in homeroom . . . Mr. Miner tried to help us adjust to being high school students ... by 3:15 p. m. we were not sure we ever would . . . our first class party was a gala affair . . . the boys preferred relay and potato sack races to dancing . . . Poor Pussy ... a treasure hunt was the big event of the year . . . clues were lost or playfully removed ... no one reached the treasure although the town was systematically ransacked ... by Sophomore year we felt like old pros . . . the boys were making progress ... a John Paul Jones and the Snowball got some of them out on the dance floor ... a trip to Playland at Rye Beach became every Sophomore’s goal . . . the great day arrived ... a day of thrills and fun at the fabulous amusement park . . . as dignified (?) Juniors we attained the rank of upperclassmen . . . our headquarters was now Room 207 and Mr. Clark was our guide ... all the girls were pleasantly surprised when the boys danced at our annual class party . . . not so many girl-and-girl combinations on the floor . . . January rolled around mighty fast . . . choosing of class rings became an important task . . . the square-cut ring was chosen unanimously ... we certainly were an agreeable group ... we nearly died with anticipation until they arrived in May . . . plans for our first really big dance, Junior Prom, engrossed us in April . . . April in Paris became our theme . . . the big night arrived and all went well . . . that is until the punch became scarce . . . Dick Mullen saved the evening (ugh!) ... we made money on that dance, too ... a picnic at Horton’s Point rounded out our season . . . remember how the boys marooned the girls on a big rock surrounded by water? . . . Senior year! . . . the last rung of the ladder was reached . . . there wasn't much time to stop and think about our new eminence . . . John Davis was elected to the presidency for a third term . . . Mr. Clark was also serving a third term ... we were happy to see him back at the familiar desk . . . magazine campaign was soon under way . . . magazines, magazines and more magazines (subscriptions, that is) . . . prizes were offered to the best salesman ... a Red team and a Green team went into action ... all previous records were smashed as sales zoomed past the $4,000 mark . . . Joyce Samohel emerged as the super saleslady . . . could we relax then? ... of course not . . . Mr. Beane From Lima had to be cast . . . opening night was a spine-tingling occasion .. . and a joyous one when we realized that we had won the acclaim of local critics . . . will you ever forget Tom Byrnes as Gramp? ... we hardly had time to recuperate when we plunged into plans for Senior Ball . . . ' A Wish in the Garden was our inspired theme . . . refreshments were made in our new cafeteria . . . soon days were filled with planning and shopping and finally packing for that magical Senior trip . . . April 12th dawned . . . freshly-scrubbed Seniors and anxious parents crowded the station . . . the notoriously late Long Island Railroad coach arrived on time! . . . four glorious days and three sleepless nights in our capital city . . . Mt. Vernon, the Lincoln Memorial, Cinerama and Rhapsody and soon time to start home . . . back to school and on to a more serious task . . . yearbook production . . . paste-ups, deadlines, pictures ... in the midst of this mighty endeavor, report cards were distributed ( ! $:?) . . . Senior Banquet was superb . . . then Regents and the donning of caps and gowns for Commencement . . . the party at the landing gave us an opportunity for afinaJ farewell to our classmates and to life as students of S. H. S.
