CLASS HISTORY Hmm? What’s this?” An old notebook from our high school days and it says, Class of 1954” on it. This looks interesting. I think I ' ll take a peak inside, Class History. Hmm! I guess I’ll read further on. (FRESHMAN YEAR) PAGE 1: On September 25, 1950 we, the class of 1954, met in the cafeteria with our class advisors, Mrs. Fay and Mr. Zak, during homeroom period for election of our class officers who were as follows: President, Thomas Edmonds; Vice-President, Charles Waterman; Secretary, Connie Matys- kiela; and Treasurer, Mary Ann Golon. Freddie Fitch and Bruce Remington were elected as our Student Council rep¬ resentatives. Though we did not have a busy year, we did accomplish the goal of becoming united. (SOPHOMORE YEAR) PAGE 2: As sophomores we again started off the year with election of officers who were: President, Charles Water¬ man; Vice-President, Terry Chase; Secretary, Jennie Mar- kowski; and Treasurer, Sandra Noble. Jeannette Tallis and Terry Chase were our able Student Council representatives. Later in the year we selected our Class Ring Committee which began taking orders. In December we were proud owners of class rings. We ended the year with a successful food sale, the money being put toward our Senior Class trip to Washington. (JUNIOR YEAR) PAGES 3, 4 and 5 (This certainly was a busy year) : Entering the high school once more, this time as juniors, we began again by electing our class officers who were: President, Charles Waterman; Vice-President, Terry Chase; Secretary, Marianne Carney; and Treasurer, Sandra Noble. Our Student Council representatives were Shirley Colson and Terry Chase. A Ways and Means Committee was picked to make further plans for raising money; it consisted of Sandra Noble, Thelma Noble, Peggy Fetko, Carol Egan, Mary Ann Galetta, Frances Kokoszki, Marianne Carney, Charles Waterman, Terry Chase, and John Biggerstaff. On Saturday, October 11 we held our first successful food sale of the year. Sandra Noble was the chairman. As spring came, so came our one big project for the year, that of planning the Junior Prom. The Prom Com¬ mittee was chosen and consisted of Charles Waterman as chairman with the following assisting him: Frances Smie- gel, tickets; Jennie Markowski and Mary Ann Galetta, dec¬ orations; Thomas Edmonds, publicity; Marianne Carney, orchestra; Peggy Fetko, refreshments; and Terry Chase and Sandra Noble, photography. The Prom, called Dreamer’s Paradise,” was held on May 16 with Arny Morange and his orchestra providing the music. Peggy Fetko and Merwyn Spaulding were chosen King and Queen with Jennie Mar¬ kowski, Mary Ann Galetta, Shirley Colson, and Marianne Carney being selected as her attendants. Sandra Parks, Jeannette Tallis, Terry Chase and Thomas Edmonds were chosen to attend Laurel Girls’ State and Nutmeg Boys’ State held at the University of Connecticut the following summer. A committee was organized to make plans for selling fudge at the Senior’s Class Night. The Committee included: Carol Egan, Alice Hayden, Shirley Colson, and Jeannette Tallis, with Barbara Morris as chairman. As we realized that our senior year would be a busy one, we elected our yearbook staff in June. It consisted of: Editor, Jeannette Tallis; Business Manager, Barbara Morris; Circulation Manager, Tommy Edmonds; Advertising Mana¬ ger, Connie Matyskiela; Photography, Shirley Colson and Terry Chase. This ended our activities for our junior year and we eagerly awaited the arrival of our senior year. (SENIOR YEAR) PAGES 6, 7, 8, and 9 (My, our class did a lot in our senior year): In the fall of 1953 we were again back to¬ gether, this time as seniors, ready to begin the many endless tasks which lead to graduation. We started off the year right by electing our class officers who were the same as the pre- ceeding year: President, Charles Waterman; Vice-President, Terry Chase; Secretary, Marianne Carney; and Treasurer, Sandra Noble. Our two Student Council representatives were Sandra Noble and Terry Chase. Our next step as seniors, toward raising money for our senior class trip to Washington was the magazine campaign with Peggy Fetko and Thomas Edmonds acting as captains. Our chief aim was to top the amount sold by the previous class and that we did with much to spare. The three highest salesmen who received rewards were: John Biggerstaff, Robert Simmons, and Terry Chase respectively. As the year progressed the Senior Patrol was organized with Terry Chase selected as captain. The Patrol was made up of the following members: Jennie Markowski, John Biggerstaff, Terry Chase, Thomas Edmonds, Fred Fitch, Mary Ann Galetta, Alice Hayden, Fred Kotowski, Barbara Morris, Sandra Noble, Thelma Parks, Milton Powers, Bruce Remington, Charles Waterman, and Jeannette Tallis. The two alternates were Peggy Fetko and Marianne Carney. Our next money-making project was that of selling Christmas cards. This also helped toward pushing our bank account a little closer to our goal. We also sold birthday calendars. A new project that was undertaken by our class was that of a Dutch Maid Party. A committee was appointed by our president and it consisted of: Vivian Jackson, Carol Egan, Shirley Colson, Sandra Parks, Barbara Morris, and Lucille McBride. The climax of our high school years came when we made our most unforgetable trip to Washington, D. C. After this came our Banquet, Class Night, Graduation. Then our life as a busy senior ended, and we began taking our places in the busy world around us with our schooldays behind and our goals ahead of us. 19
