Cfaas Jqiaforg Our class is proud to be the first to complete our entire high school education in this beautiful school. We entered as wide-eyed seventh graders in September, 1953, and began at once on a new and entirely different chapter in our lives. This impressive and expansive build- ing would be our home away from home for the next six years. As the days slipped by, we became accustomed to the building and no longer lost our way. Gradually, we settled down to the routine of the school year. Summer vacation arrived and passed. Again we returned to school, but this time as confident eighth graders. Surprisingly, the year passed quickly, and finally we were freshmen. The freshman year proved to be an important one because we held our first class meeting in April, 1956, for the purpose of electing our class officers and sponsors. Mr. Robert Nugent and Miss Nancy Abbey were elected sponsors, Walter Byrne was elected presidentg Lewis Megonigal, vice presidentg Judith Clayton, secretaryg and Genevieve Burke, treasurer. On May 11, the class sponsored its first dance, the Stardust Special. Four months later, in September, 1956, we returned as sophomores and settled down to a hard year's work. At our first meeting, we elected Mrs. Patricia Woerth as our sponsor, because Miss Abbey had left in June. We also decided our class colors would be ivory and blackg our flower, the white roseg and our motto, We build the ladder by which we climb. Our social event of the year was the Christmas Dance, entitled Rudolph's Rock. In April we made the down payment on our rings. June marked the end of our sophomore year. The first general meeting of the junior class was held in September, 1957. The long awaited rings had arrived and when we put them on, a feeling of pride seemed to overwhelm us. To help swellour treasury, we sold Christmas cards in November and December. The social event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom, Stairway To The Stars , held on April 18. All attend- ing spent an enjoyable evening at the prom of 1958. In June we finished our junior year, but before we left for a summer's rest, Mr. Nugent urged us to pay our class dues. In September, 1958, we reached our goal. We were seniors. On September 10, the Senior Showboat was.held, a dance never to be forgotten. The car wash and cake bake were sponsored by the class on the following day. Late in September, the photographer came to take our senior pictures, and work was started on this yearbook. In October we started rehearsals for the senior play, Come Out Of The Closet , which was presented November 21. In April our Junior-Senior Prom was held, and on May 8 we went on our class trip. On June 7, Baccalaureate Services were held, and we were graduated on June 9.
