FOX BOY REPRESENTATIVE, Joseph Heller, GIRL REPRESENTATIVE, Barbara Hoagland, PRESIDENT, Patricia Shoneg SECRETARY, Monica Bauer, TREASURER, David Logelg VICE-PRESIDENT, Malcolm Bennett - Almost four years ago there occurred a frightening rush, a mad stampede, and while teachers stood back and shuddered and Seniors glared, the Class,of '53, our class, entered good old A.H.S. For our Freshman year, Mr. Walter, M . Parlato, Mrs. Ranger and Miss French endured us. That year we held a Freshman party, made about twenty-five dollars on a bake sale, participated in a musical Freshman assembly, and generally clogged up traffic in the back hall. But the worst was yet to come, for the very next September we were back as superior Sophomores to sneer at the Freshman, be frightened by Mr. O'Connor and make the other two advisors, Mr. Fortunate and Mr. Parlato, wish they had dug ditches for a living. we sponsored three bake sales that year, put on a one-act play as our Sophomore assembly, held a dance, put out three issues of the Eagle and proclaimed loudly to all who would listen Kand very few wouldj that we were the best class in EEE55l. ' As Juniors we were old hands at making money and under the direction of Mr. Hankins and Miss Love, we sold stationery, sponsored two hectic bake sales, put on that slightly zany play, nDangerous Ladies,N fed the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet, and of course, held the Junior Prom. 4 By our Senior year we were not any quieter but we were much wealthier than three years before. We elected as our President, Patricia Shoneg our Veep, Malcolm Bennett, Secretary, Monnie Bauerg Treasurer, David Logelg and our girl and boy representatives, Barbara Hoagland and Joseph Heller. We sold magazines, basketball pencils, tickets to our Senior Play, nThe Pest,U and tickets to the Senior Ball, cakes to the Prison and potato chips at games, just about everything except our advisor, Mr. Fox, who was our long- suffering advisor, guided us through a bake sale also. Then we let the Juniors entertain us at the Junior- Senior Banquet, counted up our money, and went on our long awaited Senior Trip. During the year we had done a little studying, decided that the Freshmen nmmdays aren't nearly as well behaved as we were, and before we knew it someone was handing us a diploma and the underclassmen were shoving us out the door. We aren't happy to leave, for we have had some of the best times of our lives while we've been here, we think. But we leave as all Seniors eventually must, then we close the door and go out taking 16 with us memories, some sad, but mostly happy, of our four years here. A K i 3 4
