has ever seen a senior class that was more tired, but happy, than the Class of '58 as they returned home. After many worn out pens, broken pencils, plus a basket full of tired hands, year books were signed and all that was left were the finals and the long awaited step which made us eligible te enter Seeiety. Dear Diary: CJune 1958-Graduation Nightl It was sad, but oh so wonderful. I can hardly believe that it has happened. Graduation is behind me and so are all of the wonderful parties that were held after graduation when everyone said final farewells and good lucks. Some we will never see again, others will work at the desks next to each other in some business office, still others will go to farms and raising crops and stock, some will even reach out for the star that they have been wishing on and climb to the very top of the ladder of suc- cess. Whatever their ambition, wherever they go, God will bless and watch each one. Now I would like to thank you, dear A. C. S. for making my life such a happy one and for giving me the training for life's work. It seems hard to swallow this huge lump that is my throat as I try to think of all the times I have cheered my school teams to victory and won't be able to do anymore. I thank the teachers for trying to understand me when I became difficult and confused in climbing the long towering stairway to graduation My class and I would like to say this to the succeeding classes who will so deservingly take our places--The class of 1958 feels that its history has a certain significance to one and all in- volved. Each one has done a great deal in making our class the fine example that it has been. We will never forget the twelve years we have spent in Arcade Central or the many friends we have made while here. Carry on, Class of '59, and may you and the classes that follow you enjoy and receive as much from your school years, especially your Senior year, as we the class of 1958 did. my in

Dear Diary: CSeptember l955D During my Sophomore year my class sponsored a private skat- ing party at Orchard Park. Many of us soon found that the floor wasn't as soft as it appeared but we readily adjusted to this situation by staying on our feet instead of investing in a third roller skate for the spot on which we so often landed. For our class officers we chose David Blendinger as President, Beverly Binnie as Vice President, Marg Agen as Secretary, and Judy Cotton as Treasurer. Our advisors were Miss Shadbolt and Mr. Tullar. Each one of the class enjoyed the Freshman-Sophomore party which we held for the class of '59. Dear Diary: fSeptember 19561 This was the year my class was allowed to sponsor money mak- ing dances and other activities. The Soda Pop Hop in November and the Cupid's Caper in February were both great successes. Marg Agen was crowned queen at the Cupid Caper Dance. The Junior plays which were a shining spectacle were Balcony Scene, A Night in the Country, and 12 0'C1ock Murder. Dear Diary: QJune 19575 Paint, papers, scissors and many busy fingers finished the decorations in record time for the Junior Prom ---- Stairway to thi Stars where Marie Glasner was crowned queen. A skating party was held at Skateland in Buffalo and our stationery sale was a tre- mendous success when we proved we could top last year's sales record. For class officers we elected David Blendinger as Presi- dent, Lee Schnitzler as Vice President, Marg Agen as Secretary, and Judy Cotton as Treasurer. Our class advisors were Miss Min- nick and Mr. Warner. Dear Diary: CSeptember 19571 As I entered the halls of old A.C.S. once again, it hardly seemed possible that this was to be my last year. As we called our last election meeting to order, we elected Lee Schnitzler as President, Shan Hyman as Vice President, Marg Agen as Secretary, and Judy Cotton as Treasurer. Our advisors were Miss Arthur and Mr. Warner. Throughout the year the class had many wonderful activities. Among these were the magazine sale which exceeded last year's records, the Senior play entitled The Little Q23 Laughed, and the last Senior sponsored dance held at Christmas time which was the Snowflake Fantasy. Packing for the Washington trip was filled with so much hus- tle and bustle that I feared I would miss the bus but all went well and soon Washington, D. C. loomed ahead of us. Fun,excite- ment, adventures and a most happy time were had by all. No one
