The Komian play, What A Life, with Dave Kinsman and Judy Kmetzg the Thespian production, The Thirteenth Chair, with Jerry Greenblatt and Noreen Bartolomeog and the Fathers' Club Show, The Last Obstacle, with the chucklesome hula- hooping of Imelda DelVecchio all these were sup- ported by enthusiastic juniors. With everyone merging into a common lane, we directed our energies toward an outstanding Junior Prom. Guided by our officers and competent co- chairmen Lolly Hoffman and Wilson Lineburgh, we caused great excitement with the magnificent Ni- han Kisamaf' Japanese Moon, our .unique experi- ment in a tent. J Seniors at last! We faced the final miles of our journey with mixed feelings of joy and sadness. The prospect of our senior year delighted us, but every- thing seemed to pass too quickly. With alacrity we faced the formidable challenge of digesting that alphabet soup of tests, A.P.P.g C.E.E.B.g and S.A.T. Peter Robrish honored us scholastically by success- fully completing the Merit Scholarship Testg Kathe Law, a new and illustrious member of our class, won the Fairfield County Voice of Democracy Contestg Ina Huston and Janie Parker received proficiency awards from the National Council of Teachers of Englishg Helene Zelich pounded the gavel as Stu- dent Council Presidentg and Miss Garofalo's Latin IV class formally celebrated Virgil's birthday. Two of our members spent half of the year in Europe as exchange students, Bob Lear in Italy and Sue Kap- lan in Norway. Our own exchange student, Mahani, from Malaya, brought friendship and glimpses of the exotic Far East to curious Wardites. One thing is certain, the football season of 1959 will never be forgotten. As Coach Tetreau said, the Eagles became full grown and soared to victory. Our tri-captains Jack Flanagan, Ed Magi, and Walt Beck, led the crushing attacks in a thrilling un- defeated season. Remembering our purpose as a unified and class- spirited group, we elected officers to govern us in our senior activities: Frank Palumbo, Presidentg Sherwood Bien, Vice-Presidentg Barbaro Johnson, Secretaryg and Dan Harris, Treasurer. These execu- tive members aptly steered us to our fabulous Senior Ball, Christmas F antasiesf' Underclassmen, seniors, and alumni danced amid the joyous holiday atmosphere at one of the largest dances Warde has ever seen. After Christmas vacation, the months flew by. Our Senior Banquet was presented and we listened to the reading of the Class Will and Prophecy with immense enjoyment. On Class Day we exerted our privilege of attending school merely for the presen- tation of awards and scholarships. Finally, gradua- tion night arrived, June 23, 1960. For many this was the Hnal step before taking their places in life. For some there were other goals-more years of study before emerging as doctors, lawyers, scien- tists, and businessmen.
