Ofj Gslttabula, the The Y-Conteen was as popular as ever. Directing its activities were Mary Ann Siegfried, president; and AHS senior members Elaine Efantis, Jane Ferrando, Norma Loose, Elsie Melaragno, Mary Jane Paulino, and Gloryo Zappa. The Senior Prom and Graduation loomed largest in the eyes of all. Arrangements for their success were entrusted to class committees. Decorotion, finance, program, and refreshment committees were headed by class officers. Dorothy Marshall was chairman of the announcement committee, while the cap and gown committee was under the direction of Sue Koch. Through the year, the editorial end of the DART was guided by Co-editors Corrine Cosgrove and Mary Ann Siegfried. Business affairs were handled by Christine Pedro.
