THIS IS OUR STORY . . . OUR STORY began four years ago when, as timorous and reticent frosh, we, the gradu¬ ates of ' 54, set out on the well-worn path of high school life. That first year saw the be¬ ginning of the Dramatic Club under the direc¬ tion of a new faculty member. Miss Salon. The many hours we spent in the careful study of dramatics and the stage were the first taste of the extra-curricular program we enjoyed. In our sophomore year we came to exper¬ ience the pleasant hours of social activities in such events as the Homecoming dance and the Winter Formal. We were no longer the youngest in school, and we found our class well represented in the school clubs. Junior year brought with it the dignified distinction of upperclassmen. ' ' This year brought one addition after another to OUR STORY: first, our own choral group directed by Sister Mary Edith, C.S.C.; then a church dedicated to St. Margaret Mary on our own campus; the formation of the S.D.S. by our own junior girls. Senior year! The first of these pages was a tale of sorrow, for in November we heard of the tragic death of an alumnus, Walter Homan, whom many of us had known in our junior year. Later, in December, came news of another classmate whom God had called, Gerald Bolch. In a happier vein, our operetta, Amahl and the Night Visitors , was pre¬ sented in December along with a program of Christmas carols. The year moved so fast, and soon the thrill of graduation was upon us — our senior pictures; then the yearbook sketches; finally, in a rush of excitement and the thrill of a job well done, graduation. This, then, is OUR STORY. 21

Vice-Presidents of the Senior Home Rooms ore Gloria Conway, Senior 1; John King, Senior 2; Bernie Wontorek, Senior 3; Ray Knight, Senior 4; Robert Stupeck, Senior 5; and Nada Stilinovich, Senior 6. 22 SENIORS ELECT CLASS OFFICERS Senior Officers Early in the scholastic year the election of class officers is held in every home room. Each Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior home room elects four officers: president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. These officers act as the leaders of their respective home rooms. The Senior Class deviates slightly from the general procedure followed by the other three classes. In place of a president in each home room, the Seniors elect one representative who acts as president of the entire class. He has, as his assistants, a vice-president, secretary, and treasurer in each Senior home room. SENIORS ELECT ROBAK This year the Senior Class chose Ray Robak as Class President. Ray is a member of St. Casimir ' s Parish, Hammond, and attended St. Casimir ' s grade school before coming to Noll High. Here his pleasing personality and foot¬ ball prowess soon gained for him wide popu¬ larity. This year Ray was also co-captain of the football team. Ray plans to continue his education in the fall at Wabash College.
