1 - r j r i i : ' I ' 1 ' little something and I’m sure all the Fresh- men had a fine time? The Sophomore assembly included a de- bate “All Freshmen Should Be Taught That There Is A Santa Claus”, with humorous ex- tras such as Don Pexton in an evening gown that didn’t quite fit and Alfred Patane as Santa Claus. Songs were sung by Norma Jean Torrey and Peggy Loguidice. Candy was also given to everyone including the faculty. Mr. Tornatore put a bright idea in our heads and kept us busy a few weeks selling light bulbs. Too bad this year’s geometry students weren’t as bright as those bulbs. Marie La Mountain was our super salesman, having sold $53 worth of light bulbs. Inci- dentally, this little business undertaking net- ted us around $55. We sold fudge at the last two Halloween parties sponsored by the Seniors. The dances which we put on also were quite successful, increasing our treasury quite a bit. On the whole, our first two years in High School have been very successful, thanks to the kind assistance of our advisor, Miss Furfaro. —DOROTHY SICILIA OFFICERS Seated, left to right: Emaline Evans, Treasurer; Don Pexton, President; Fred Shuler, Vice President; Dorothy Sicilia, Secretary.

The officers which were elected were Don Pexton president; Fred Shuler, vice pre- sident; Emaline Evans, secretary and Gene Knox, treasurer. Our first assembly was made up of a Class Flower—Iris Class Colors—Blue and Gold Class Advisor—Miss Florence Furfaro Kitchen Band, Girls’ Chorus, and Fashion Show. The first major episode of our High School career was that most enjoyable event initiation! One of our chief duties as Freshmen was the decoration of the Xmas tree. The boys got a very nice one, courtesy of Fish- er’s. In January, we gave a party for our most revered elders, the Sophomores. They, in return, took us to the lake for a good old- fashioned picnic. We also had a picnic at Chittenango Falls and a wonderful time was had by all. The sophomore year started off as usual with the election of officers: Don Pexton, president; Fred Shuler, vice president; Dor- othy Sicilia, secretary; Emaline Evans, trea- surer. The initiation committee cooked up a page twenty-eight

After electing our officers we chose our class colors and flowers, Blue and White were de- cided on as the colors while the Red Rose was selected as the Class Flower. On entering High School in September, the Freshman Class organized and elected the following officers: Joan Tifft, President; Jiggs Aquino, Vice President; Doris Whit- Class Flower—Red Rose Class Colors—Blue and White Class Advisor—Mrs. William Laurson Late in September, the Sophomores had their fun initiating us. We managed to sur- vive with a smile however, and thought of next year'when the fun would be ours. During the year we held two very suc- cessful dances which helped considerably to swell our treasury. We also took part in the Halloween dance in October. Our class was presented with the honor and the problem of putting up the Christmas Tree in the au- ditorium. How thankful we were for having page thirty
