PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS SARUNAS GARSYS As president of the graduating class, it is my honor and privilege to give a most warm and cordial Welcome to you, parent's, teachers, and friends. Three short years ago all of us, with much bewilderment and mixed emotions, met, many of us for the first time. But three years of study, of fun, and of companionship have Welded us together. We are now a part of Classical, and, through the coming years, its spirit will live in us. We should not have attained our goals, had it not been for the wise counsel, the patience, and the encourage- ment of our parents and of the faculty. To them we shall be forever grateful. After leaving our alma mater, We shall be called upon to do tasks that have been done before, but we shall be expected to do them better. More will be asked of us. We shall be calledupon to do the things that still need to be done and to do them Well. The world expects great deeds and noble deeds. Some of us may produce them. There is another kind of nobleness, however, that most of us must contribute, that is the best in us as students in college, as Workers, as parents, as citizens. We shall not disappoint those who have made today possible for us, we shall bring credit upon Classical. Once again, we bid you welcome to the last meeting of the Class of 1962.

CLASS HISTORY DONNA H. ZABARSKY We, the Class of 1962, first entered this noble building in September 1959- The eventful day began with the corraling of all the timid refugees from junior high in Classi- cal's spacious auditorium. We were then as- signed to homerooms and began immediately the long climb to educational stature. Soon the bell rang and we had to leave the safe confines of our homerooms and stumble through the corridors lined with superior up- per classmen. By the end of the first week, however, we were fully initiated. We had learned the art of balancing stacks of books and inventing alibis. We had tested or rather experienced the fine cuisine of our cafeteria. We Sopho- mores soon realized that, although possessing many modern conveniences such as electri- city and running water when it rained, Class- ical did not have an elevator. As Sophomores we did not exactly set the world on fire, but in our own eyes we were a rather superior lot. Judith Heald, Rita Weiss, Geraldine Swartz, Miriam Grace, Marian Karpen, and Janice Gould made the Argus Business Board. Ruth Moses arrived from Israel. By the first marking period, there was no doubt of the scholastic ability of our class, at least in our teachers' minds. In sports the Classical Tigers finished our first year in fine tyle. The tennis and golf teams won Interhigh Championships, as did the baseball team. The Seniors said their good-byes and we moved up a rung, and came down to the second floor. The coming of summer proved a very wel- come relief to our weary minds. In September 1960, we returned as juniors, minus Marian Karpen, who had moved to California. We found awaiting us much study, whirling social activities, a clever Variety Show, and the Senior Hop for a few lucky juniors and even some Sophomores. David Edstrom was elected class president, Anne Niemitz, vice-president, joan Szynkie- wicz, secretary, and Mike Sherman was made custodian of the money bags. We were all proud of the literary talents of Eugenia Allmon, Mary Savage, Miriam Grace, Shelley Meltzer, Lauren Coblenz, and the lone male representative, Barry Aframe, who won certificates in the National Poetry and Essay Contest. Suzy Lainer won the Miss Capezio contest, sponsored by a local depart- ment store, and enjoyed a weekend in New York as part of her prize. Sharkey Garsys made the All-City Basketball team, much to the pleasure of a certain blond. The Cheer- leaders, or as Mr. Weed fondly calls them, the Ya-Ya Girls, increased their volume with six lively juniors: Christine Poshkus, Judy Steiman, Barbara Yummy Burns, Anne Niemitz, Sally MacGillivray, and janet Guer- tin. On January 21, the school was saddened by the sudden death of Mr. McKinley, our much beloved Latin teacher.
