These activities included a bake sale, a movie benefit, and a square dance, All were successful. During our Sophomore year, we held several dances. For the first time , a Sadie Hawlclns Day Dance was held and was a lot of fun. Barbara Selignan, our class president, helped lead our school year to a successful close. The biggest thrill of our Junior year was the purchase of our class rings. Jknother event was the Junior Prom with the theme Alice in Wonderland. John West was elected president of the Junior Class. To guide us through our Senior Year, we elected these officers: John West, President, Barbara Selignan, Vice-Presidentg JoAnn Novak, Secretary, Margo Hood, Treasurer 3 Boy and Girl Representatives, Larry Nerkle and Marie Miller. Our Senior year has proved to be our busiest with the magazine drive, Senior Ball, several square dances and the Senior Trip to New York. Wifh hardly six weeks of school left after returning hom New York until graduation, the seniors realized how quickly their last year at Attica Central School had passed. Marv of the members of the Class of 1957, which is one of the largest ever graduated fran Attica Central, planned to attend college in the future. y CIASS ADVISORS MISS BRAYER and MR. MANCHESTER lb

Parents, social agencies and law enforcement officers have considered long and carefully the effects of this pattern on the lives of young people. The trend now seems to be reversed and those who are trying to guide and direct the youth of our land are taking a firmer stand regarding discipline, laws, rules and regulations. The team concept is becoming a part of the education of every present day student. Every individual is a member of a society group whether in a classroom, on a baseball team, in a ship's crew or in an industrial shop and what each person does affects directly the conduct and activity of his group. This close association in and out of school makes it necessary that each student be guided by certain definite regulations and directions. Much of our work is aimed at teaching good habits of conduct that are acceptable to the group in which the student lives. This we call discipline. We expect the trend toward more strict regulations and higher standards of conduct to con- tinue and we are in favor of this trend. We believe that only by the formation of good habits of work and living can a person be happy in life among his fellow men. OM-eric 15
