As we stand penguin-1ike upon the stairs in the rear of the auditorium, our minds are flooded with cherished memories'-those small memories which may seem so insig- nificant individually but which build up to that milestone in our lives-Graduation. We distinctly remember that autumn day in 1951 when we were organized as the Sophomore Class under the advisorship of Miss Regina Nugent and Mr. Frank Ferguson. Sincere thanks to them for their unfailing attention and ardent work, their help and encouragement which have led us forward. Choosing class officers was the Hrst business to claim our attention. Elec- tions resulted in President Frank Campi, Vice-president Mar- garet Stuba, Secretary Martha Heft, and Treasurer Joseph Keenan being in charge. Selling cakes for the Christmas holi- days and again for Motheris Day was the beginning of the con- tinuous line of activities that have united us so closely as a class.

CContinued from page 123 At the completion of our Sophomore year we sponsored our first dance, at which time Rose Floceo of our sister class, '52, was crowned queen. Thus, a successful year had come to an end, and we were prepared to undertake greater responsibilities as Juniors. Autumn arrived, and we were looking forward to a busy year. Elections placed Frank Campi in the office of president again, with Josephine Trasatto as vice-president, Martha Heft as secretary, and Joseph Keenan as treasurer. Eagerly working together, we increased the treasury by the sale of pencils, Christ- mas cards, and candy. ln the midst of all this activity we began planning for our Junior Prom. lt was the beautiful star-lit night of December 12, when we danced to the heavenly music of The Bluebirds. The decorations of snow, trees, and outdoor scenery were clearly descriptive of our theme, Winter Fantasyf, Adding to the excitement of the swiftly passing year, our class rings ar- rived in early spring. Happy and proud were we of our newly acquired jewels 'on that March 20. The final project of the year was a pie and cake sale, when the talents of the class's fair sex were proved. Our ,lunior year was ended, and we eagerly awaited that great day in September when we would return as the Senior Class. Autumn, 1953, and Seniors at last! The year began with all the usual business - selling magazines, bracelets, and candy. The staff was appointed, and work was begun to produce another prize-winning yearbook, The Echo, under the capable supervision of Miss June Oplinger. Spring arrived and found us aglow with plans for the Washington trip. Accompanied by our advisers, we spcnt the educational, as well as entertaining, days of April 14, 15, and 16 in our nation's capital. A week later we presented our class play, 2320 College Avenuef' which was made successful by the excellent direction of Miss Catherine Higgins. Our Senior Prom was May 21, when we danced amid the beautifully festive decorations. The following week we reviewed our history, made public our last will and testament, and prophesied in a wise and sage manner at Class Day. On Wednesday evening we heard an inspirational message at the Baccalaureate Services. In review our history would appear to be a hustle and a bustle, a hurry and scurry for the funds we must accumulate if wc are to avail ourselves of all the wonderful traditional customs of high school life. A minute record of class happenings would' require reams and consume hours, but deep within each of us is the richness of friendships made, sorrows encountered and joys shared. We have a thought for those who started with us but who have not rounded out the years. Within us wells grati- tudg toward parents and teachers and a realization of sacrifices ma e. .df - fs -ff: I is- K. .... ' 3, Q- K P Skillful hands mould raw ma- terials into beautiful creations.

The participating sophomore, junior, and senior high students are administered a test on current events in the beginning of the school year. Each month one of the thir- teen schools in the forum league plays host to the others, during which time a current topic is discussed. Various members also par- ticipate in local radio broad- casts. This gives students knowl- edge of world events and experi- ence in speaking before a group. Mr. Dreidger is the adviser. For the first time in the his- tory of our school a student gov- ernment, Conshohocken High School Student Association, was organized. Since our new gov- ernment was to resemble that of our nation, we needed a presi- dent and vice-president. Robert Kelley, Judith Jamison, and John Yureaba were the candi- dates for the presidency, Jose- phine Trasatto, Yvonne Dc Cicco, and Samuel Weiner were the candidates for the viec- presidency. Aftcr a week of ardent campaigning-pins, post- ers, pictures, speeches-elections were held, and we chose for our leaders Robert Kelley and Jose- phine Trasatto. When the excitement of the election had calmed down, our Student Council was assembled to represent us. Each Wednes- day there are assembly pro- grams, guidance discussions, or town meetings, at which times we voice our opinions and decisions. it-...... ' mrs-s..... Row 1-K. Campbell, J. Jamison, J.

Our library club at- tempts to fulfill this statement as accurately as possible. It is supervised by Miss Viola Mc- Cord, our librarian, and consists of the following ten girls: Rita DiJenno, Annette Dunacusky, Carole Fleming, Alice Hauer, Frances Marino, Sara Miscioscia, Marion Sanders, Judith Tenaro, Laura Williamson, and Virginia Young. Some of their duties are: the filing and sorting of book cards, mending torn books, and keeping the magazine files and books in their proper order. The Conshohocken chapter of the National Honor Society is under the able supervision of Mrs. Katherine Lorenz. Students from the eleventh and twelfth grades are eligible for member- ship. The Constitution of this na- tional organization recognizes four cardinal objectives as fun- damentals in education: Schol- arship, Character, Leadership, and Service. To exalt these ob- jectives and hold them ever before the school as goals to- ward which all should strive, is the purpose of this society. Other honors are conferred by the school in recognition of specialized ability, skill, or tal- ent, but this society looks upon education as a total product of diversified abilities or skills.
