6141 s ,Cay The rings are here!', 'gLet's see your proofsln These were the cries that were heard throughout the halls of Bayside High as groups of Seniors gathered to exchange their excited comments. Suddenly we realize that our elation over being Seniors is the climax of many happy experiences together. VVe remember HAlphonse , the all-powerful cockroach who haunted our every breathing momentg the talk of wheat germ and of roto-rootersg each term's renewed hope of having a football teamg and the annual G.O. campaign promises of flooding and freezing the school yards for ice skating. During the past years, our animal-inspired coilfeurs, the Poodle Cut and the Pony Tail, gave way to the more sophisticated Italian Boy and the Gamin. It all began in September 1951, when we entered Bayside H.S. as the largest Freshman Class in the school's history. Our anticipation of a glorious first day in high school was smothered by tons of Delaney cards and book receipts. How- ever, within our grasp was the key that would unlock Baysidels renewed school spirit, for the ban on extracurricular activities was Hnally lifted. Clubs started: teams were reborng and the school newspaper returned to print. YYC became the fans that cheered our basketball team onto the Queens Championship. From our midst came an unknown redhead diver who amazed the experts by placing first in the City Diving Championships. Once in the swing of things. we found that our first Nights of Music and the Yankee Stadium Outing became the high points of our Freshman Year. A more eonEdent class journeyed back to Bayside in the Fall of 1952. and we greeted our new principal, Dr. Moskowitz. with the feeling that this would be a bigger and better year. Competition was keen aniong four Bayside beauties. hut our classls choice, a charming, soft-spoken lass. who reigned over the Snow Queen Dance . Rernernber how delighted we all were when the temporary hns strike forced us to arrive at ten o'eloek? The Spring Concert and Best Foot Forward were the theatre attractions ol' the Spring.
