PIRIT OF '57 I am the spirit of the class of 1957. Four short years ago I entered the doors of Chestnut Ridge High School at Schellsburg. Here I got acquainted with high school life and found for was shown! my place with reference to school policies. The members of my class have entered into many activities to say the least. In fact, they have put their inquisitive noses into almost every- thing, and both the school and they have profited by their interest. After an exciting summer, I returned as a mighty sophomore. All of us had one of the most active years in our history. As I began to feel pinched financially, I chanced off valentine candy and held a skating party. Both were real successes. Another summer passed and I returned, ready to conquer the world. This was our first year at the new ultra-modern high school building at Fishertown. After I found my place in this great new structure, I found that I enjoyed it more than any phase of my existence so far. Many exciting things happened this year. I presented my class play, The Night of Ianuary Sixteenth, which was a huge success. Never, I think, did my young charges have so much fun as at those rehearsals. Soon after this, I started work on the Iunior-Senior Banquet which gave my members the thrill of their lifetime. As I remember it, it was simply lovely! At last the day came. We were finally seniors-the top brass! In October I took a three- day trip to Washington, D. C. This was educational as well as enjoyable. I came home very tired and provoked because the President didn't even stay home when I went to visit him. I also published the newspaper and yearbook, sponsored skating parties, and presented my class play. Before I knew it, I was sweating in finals. After they were finished, the prom gave a much needed breather. As the end of my last school year comes, the big night, May 21, shines bright in the near future when I will take my place among the alumni of C. R. H. S. My spirit is well represented in Chestnut Ridge High's Band by 14 members. Eleven of my musicians also play with the orchestra. Oh my, we mustn't forget the chorus. My spirit is ever prev- alent there. Many of my members have represented our school in county, district, and state music events. I couldn't leave without mentioning my boys in the Sportlite. They did an excellent job, representing our school in wrestling, baseball, basketball, and football. Three of my boys repre- sented the Lions in all-county football. '58, '59, and '60 take heed! You can learn much from their experience. Some of my members could also be found out in front of our cheering section at every game. Many more could be found standing on the sidelines or sitting on the bleachers giving the teams support. I was not the most angelic class to graduate from C. R. H. S. fBut who wants to be?l However, we carried our share of the tasks and responsibilities of high school life, and, as I have said before, had a lot of fun doing it. I must say Adios to my Alma Mater. I shall leave it in body, but wherever I go it will live in my memory forever. Twenty Three
