PLAss HISTURY The buzzing of the Hornets continued this year with more noise than ever before. The seniors honored the freshmen with the annual Get-Acquainted Dance which was held on September 14. At this dance, we met many new Students and made many lasting friend- ships. October offered two social activities--an informal dance in the cafeteria, and the Halloween Dance. The Student Council officers were elected to carry out their many duties. Last, but not least, our basketball team held the long-awaited tryouts for the 1950-51 team. November brought about many happy thoughts of our first vacation. But, before that anticipated vacation, the Thanksgiving Dinner Dance was held, which was enjoyed by everyone. The alumni reunion was held on December 2. A dinner, in their honor, was served in the cafeteria followed by a basketball game between the alumni and our own varsity team. Later in December, the cheerleaders held a Pep Dance to salute the basketball team and to raise money for the new cheerleading uniforms. The Christmas Dance was held on the 20th and the Christmas recess began on the 22nd. Though our Christmas vacation was very enjoyable, most of us were eager to return to school and see our friends. During January we watched the Hornets buzz through six suc- cessful games of basketball. The annual Queen of Hearts Ball was held on February 9. Joyce Sheehan was crowned our new queen. After the crowning and the awarding of flowers to the five attendants, our queen led the Grand March. February was a big month. Parents Day was held on the 3rd. The parents were entertained by ‘selections from the Glee Club, a tour of the school, a buffet supper, and two basketball games. March was a very eventful month for all of us, but especially for Coach Baldwin and his winning basketball team. After defeating Bayonne Junior College in the finals of the Region 15 Eastern Junior College Invitational Basketball Tournament on March 10, the State Tech Hornets were sent to Hutchinson, Kansas to compete in the National Junior College Tournament. Much money was needed to send the team so the ‘‘Kansas Kitty’’ was established. Donations poured in, not only from the students and faculty, but from local business concerns, clubs, sportsminded individuals, and our sister institution, Harpur College. By March 9th, the ‘‘Kansas Kitty’? had gone over the top. We will never forget the excitement of seeing our team off and the kind people who helped them go. One of the good tidings that we received in April was that we, the graduates of 1951, would be the first Tech students to receive degrees, Associate in Applied Science. Open House was also held in April. Many guests attended and found that our school is very cap- able of turning out good, efficient students. May was a month of cleaning up unfinished business. The girls were leaving school for their summer co-op jobs. The Senior Picnic, a huge success this year, was held on May 17 at State Park. We, the class of ’51, bid a fond farewell to our friends and to our school. We’ve hada great deal of fun during our two years here. As we leave to take our position in life we carry with us many pleasant and lasting memories. Joan Day Class of 1951 27
