retary, and Robin Scofield, Treasurer. Many of our voyagers were honored by being chosen to participate in Quill and Scroll, Modern Music Masters or National Honor Society. Our class representative to the State Choir was jerry Stern, and to A11 State Band and Orchestra, Esther Molnar and Clare Takacs Crespectivelyj. The Komian Play, You Can't Take It With You , and the Thespian production, Our Town , were enriched by the acting of some of the students in our junior Class. Our year was highlighted by the prom, Heaven On Earth , and a new idea was initiated, After the Prom-it was Do- nat's . Many of the travellers preformed in the Fathers' Club Show- A House Divided . Though the route often became diiiicult, and stop signs and detours forced us to abandon the road once or twice, we enjoyed the year and profited by many of our unique ventures. One of the main objectives in this stage of our journey was to secure sufficient funds to spon- sor a foreign exchange student to travel along our road of study. Our school council sponsored many activities to raise the necessary money for this project. We participated in the exercises for the graduating seniors who had reached their goal and had traveled along the same road we had been travelling. Some of us appeared in the Daisy Chain and as ushers. As we finish the final phase of travel we need more than a written explanation of what has occured during the year. Therefore, members of our class and teachers have compiled an excel- lent travelogue of our last year. fm J. r Z 1 .911 1 was I Y 5 ff fl Q. ff r pl cj? K T I . - W! -ly 4 -twll l a C, -S cf-Hifi

CLASS HI TGRY Anxious to commence our journey in Sep- tember, 1954, we piled into our respective autos and began the long drive toward our destination, graduation. We were cognizant of our under- taking, but not of the pitfalls and new experi- ences that would befall us. Before we started on this unforgettable trip, we had to map out our course of study and our activities, keeping in mind our objective - that of reaching our goal with as much benefit to us as possible. Our journey was an important one as it would mould our characters, establish our ideals, form our acquaintances, and build a firm foundation for any future ventures. Leadership is vital to any group expedition, and we found capable driv- ers in our Freshman year with Dottie Clark as our President, jim Snyder as Vice President, Sue MacQuarrie, Secretary, and Steve Tower, Treasurer. In order to have a successful trip and to enrich our journey, we stopped along the crowded roadside to stretch our weary muscles and to indulge in extra-curricular activities, such as the Freshman Get Acquainted Dance, the Fathers' Club Show and the Freshman Class Plays. In the latter, Kathy Garrity, Gershon Horowitz, Maureen Moore, Timothy Burr and Dorothy Ridley portrayed the main characters. As we rode on, we gazed out the windows and spied many billboards displaying pictures of groups in our high school, i.e. Citizens, Educa- tion Project, Student Council, Swimming Club, Tennis Club, and various sports such as track, soccer, golf, and football. Although these activi- ties were time consuming they were the side roads which enrich the journeys of all high school travellers. Having successfully completed the first leg of our journey, we drove into our Sophomore year with eyes shining, heads held high, and a more mature attitude towards our trip. After a few months of travel, we soon discovered that the main road we had been pursuing was di- vided, and our expedition was to be split into two groups. Some of us would be following Andrew Warde Avenue, while the other half would proceed up another road named Roger Ludlowe. Both routes would eventually termi- nate at the same place. We all knew it was inevitable that we divide, and it was essential to strive for a smooth trip, with all voyagers working together to form one basic unit. The leaders of our second stage were James Snyder, President, Virginia Judd, Vice President, Pat Peck, Secretary, and Maureen Moore, Treasurer. Our other governing body, the Student Council, led us wisely through many trafhc jams. This council was headed by Steve Tower, President, Pete Rainey, Vice President, Dave Clark, Corre- sponding Secretary, and Gay Greenhalgh, Re- cording Secretary. This was the year of the Sweetheart Swing, sponsored by our class. Marsha Aker was chosen to be our representa- tive to the Queen's Court. We will never forget the Silver jubilee Fathers' Club Show, with many of the voyagers participating, or the Soph- omore Play, A Sign Unto You , with Adele Krantz, Ray Avery, Connie Gminski, James Neumarker and Ann Appicello. Along the road we managed to stop for awhile to have passport pictures taken. These were for ofiice and personal use. With the coming of june and exams, we had to face the fact that now many of our friends would be travelling along a different route. In two more years, we would finally meet in one spot, having attained our ultimate goal. As we parted, we wished everyone the best of luck and sincerely hoped we would see them often as we drove on. The third stage of our travels was confused, hectic and a challenge to all concerned. Entering a new road, separated from many of our friends, and introduced to the House plan, we managed to adjust to the new experiences that confronted us. It was exciting to drive along roads not yet completed and dodge road builders and con- struction workers diligently working to finish the task assigned them. The road was extremely new, and we had to proceed with caution as many ditches and detours were there to mislead us. We were in dire need of good map readers to keep the class on the right path. We chose to be directed by Mike Hayes, President, Lenny Sohlberg, Vice President, Angie Venzulli, Sec-
