CLASS GIFT COMMITTEE At a special meeting, the Senior class voted unanimously that a trophy case would be their gift to the school. Already there are trophies to be placed in it-the football that was carried across the goal by Bob Beardmore in Amity's first touch- down during the I955 football season and the hockey stick, signed by all the members of the team, that was used by Russ Williams in Amity's first at Providence. This case we hope will serve its purpose in preserving all those treasures that bring to mind the memorable events here at Amity. Seated are: Duanne Daigle, Mary D'Auria, and Judy Browne.
