The Senior Prom On April 29, at the Ross House, we gave our last prom. It was a typical spring evening. The girls looked exceptionally pretty, and with the glitter of the gowns, tuxedos, and flowers, it was a very impressive sight. It will be a long time before the memory of this evening fades from our minds. Banquet Our banquet was held at McCallister's on June 11. We all sat at tables with our friends and heard speeches from Mr. Harvey and Mr. Miller. We then presented the classis present to Mr. Harvey. After enjoying the food and enter- tainment provided by our classmates, we found that it was time to leave. We were happy and just a little sad as we left, for we realized that our school days were coming ever closer to an end. Class Trip On June 3, all the seniors were spruced up, waiting for the train to leave North Philadelphia for New Jersey. Of course there were a few who straggled in just in time before the train pulled out of the station. After much chaos and confusion, Mr. Harvey and Ted heaved a sigh of relief as the train pulled out and everyone was accounted for. A few restless students strolled up and down the aisle looking for their friends and giving the train the Honce overfl A few songs here and there added to the noisy atmosphere. The most serious minded were absorbed in the scenery. The Delaware was crossed, and before we knew it, we were at the station in Jersey City. It was just a stone's throw from the train to the chartered boat, U.S.S. Sandy Hook, that was to take us up the Hudson. We started our smooth sailing down the bay, passed the Statue of Liberty, Governorls Island, Ellis Island, and then went up the East River to 23rd Street where the steamer turns about for West Point. We sailed up the spacious Hud- son, and got a peek at New York's Ubillion dol- lar skyline. After we glided under the George Washington Bridge, we saw for a stretch of twenty-five miles the Palisades, small towns and counties. At Ossining, the graystone walls of Sing Sing Prison peered down on us. Soon we glanced up at Bear Mountain, impressive and glorious in its rugged hills. More sailing and soon Bear Mountain Bridge came to view. We disembarked at Bear Mountain. While we were there we took part in many sports. Swimming, rowing and basketball were the chief pastimes. Time passed very quickly for we were having such a. pleasant time. A picnic din- ner was followed by last minute rides on the amusements. But all good things must come to an end. Soon we were sailing away from Bear Mountain with in our minds happy thoughts long to be remembered. 5 :mess -594 4949 VQXG wnnv 7 Q f-xt' iz K' p,dioS pndou -la Amigos 949 'S-grfbo 0 YE505 NV I mtl Gtr s W xxxx Hagen 10 N IZA and 12B Dance Committee l i '5 i'-thaw gy,gpi.lU.....-.- lil! .rm :usa :ml inn Z . 2:15 :ur Q Slow boat to Bear Mountain

It proved to be a huge success, and a good time was had by all. Honor Society New members from our class to join the Honor Society were Doris Turner and Barbara La Penta. Sports Roxborough turned in a fine record for foot- ball this fall. The team missed first place by losing only one game. We were extremely proud of 49'ers Bob Griffith and jim Homewood, who were co-captains. Others from our class were Joe Ciccolone, Frank Rea-le, Al Labrusciano, Dick Michael, and Dick Hague. Soccer This year also proved successful for the soccer team. Under the leadership of Mr. Binns it made its first appearance in the first team league. Players representing our class were Ted Brown- worth, Herb Blair, Eugene Kholes, Bob Bell, Bob Enslin and Jack Beecroft. 12B THE LAST POW WOW Our last term finally arrived and we topped it off by giving a bang-up dance in the Girls' Wigwam. The big feature of the after- noon was the music. This was supplied by the Roxborough Royalists under the direction of Bud Rick featuring Frank Reale on the trumpet and Al Martinez on trombone
