derful Night. The First Shouelful X J' Will We Make It? just Starting Out. -in -1:11 In September, 1951, we made our grand entrance into Abraham Clark High School. How different and strange it seemed from our elementary school. No longer did our teachers take us from one class to another. YVe were on our own to hunt for our rooms. Hall monitors were yelling at us for going up Downy stair- ways and going down 'iUp', stairways. How were we to get used to this new system? Form- erly oldest in one school, we were now the youngest in another school and we didnit ex- actly like it. But as with all other things, we got used to it and finished the rest of the year quite happily. Our class officers were: Presi- dent, Ioseph Roman, Vice-President, Louis Crobg Secretary, Carol Ann Cuyer, and Treas- urer, XValter Smith. In September, 1952, we returned to school, the majority of us feeling quite proud, even a little conccited that we had managed to sur- vive the trials and tribulations of our first year in high school, and came out all the wiser, all of this was in the first year of our teens. Judith Springstead was our Class President this year and Louis Crob, our Vice-President, and Earl Shann and XValter Smith, Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. The most anticipated function of our first year as upper classmenf, fto one class anywayj was a reasonable facsimile of a social gather- ing called April Showersf' The great event took place in the big gym, from 3:30 to 5:30 P. M., the time was the cause of a slight dis- pute. Even though the rebellion was unsuc- cessful, those who attended had a wonderful time. The climax of the year was the presentation of the Good Citizenship Awards to Carol Ann Coming Into the Stretch. Surprise! Cuyer, Patricia Dalessandris, XValter Krakow- iecki, Jean Erdody, Kenneth Hoffman and Ann Ienkyns. XVe left school thrilled with the anticipa- tion of returning as Freshmen the following fall. After a long summer we made our way back to school. NVe were cheered with the feel- ing that we were finally a real part of the high school, after having made our career de- cisions. NVe were joined by a large group of students from St. josephis School. XVhen we settled down from the first few weeks of school, we started plans for a dance called, The Freshman Frolicf, The dance did not succeed because of lack of interest, but on tl1e whole, the year was filled with happiness and success. Our officers were: President, IVal- ter Krakowieckig Vice-President, Carol Roscoe, Secretary, Mary Dugan, and Treasurer, XValter Smith. Sophomore . . . Boy that sounded far away at one time, but before we knew it, there we were, 10th graders. That was the year of our first evening dance, Spring Fever, which turned out to be very nice. This was also the year that we beat Park 13 to 12 in football. Little did we know that we would win again two years later when we would be seniors, and the boys from our own class would be the big stars. Yes, our Sophomore year was quite a year, but june rolled around pretty fast, and we were soon looking forward to being Juniors. In September we came back to school as Juniors, thinking of the one year we had to go. About this time the boys were showing their abilities in football, basketball, and baseball.
