After much deliberation and discussion, the play committee chose Digging Up The Dirt, a farce in three acts. We found upon reading it over, that it suited our class perfectly: It might have been written for us. Practice bevan arl in Februar and the o 9 y . Y: finished performance was presented to an attentive audience on March 12. And then came our dream washington at iastl' On march ev, the Seniors, ready for their annual escapade, met in the village and Knot too silently! departed for Washington, while the residents of Ardsley still lay asleeping in their warm beds. In spite of the burning feet we had after each long day's tramp in the streets of Washington, we found the trip well OAAVEWW worth all our efforts. Yes, well worth it, for it was a glorious adventure that will forever be imprinted upon our memory and will be looked back upon in years to come with fond sighs and happy memories, When the night of graduation comes, and we walk, for the last time, down the aisle to the platform, the past will flicker before our eyes when we remember how young and inexperienced we were when we first entered high school, and how quickly we have changed. We are no longer children, we are young men and women, ready to leave the protection of Ardsley High School and face life for ourselves. The biography of the Class of 1957 is ended, nothing now is left but a lovely memory of friendship, inspiration, and accomplishment acquired in Ardsley High School that we shall cherish forever.

1 Q 9 gas, c QL., mwah 617'f 'i WW SENIGRS We, the Class of 1957, first saw the light of Ardsley High School in September, in the year 1955. As we first walked down the corridor, we thought, Hwhat a long time stretches ahead--four yearslu However, we were soon to learn that four years was a very short time in which to prepare for graduation and the Washington trip. We confess that when we first entered high school, we were timid and shy, but after we became used to high school, we just drifted along until we suddenly realized that two years had passed. We hadn't accomplished anything, except a food sale in our sophonore year, which was very successful, Several of our class members had left our class, and several had become nlostt on the way, falling behind us in a lower class. When we were grown-up Juniors, we won the five-pound box of candy offered to the class who sold the greatest number of magazines in the subscription J3Lww1?fAaAAJ campaign. We also presented an enter- tainment called uThe Junior Revue,n which included a two-act play entitled Hher Radio Romeo,n directed by Miss Buell, also specialties and dancing, and a Junior Prom in June, both of which proved to be successful projects. Before we realized it, we had grown to be dignified C?1 Seniors. Je first undertook the subscription canpaign, one of the most important enterprises of the year. lt was most surprising and pleasing to find that, through the help of the other classes, our record surpassed the records of all other years in selling the most magazines. It is needless to say that our bank account leaped as a gratifying result. Cake sales and xovies were added to our list as the year rolled by, each presentation being a financial success. Early in February we made plans for a food sale and card party. Our fl 47-fry-1 -3
