Class Officers Class l-lislcory ln four years the l952 Seniors have come a long way from the shy, rather overawed youngsters they were as Freshmen, to the examples of aplomb they have become. When the class of i952 were Freshmen, they elected as their class officers: President, Martha Jimerson, Vice-President, Barbara Elwell, Secretary, Audrey Dippog and Treasurer, Lois Lamb. Their -r r only real function as a class was attending the Freshman-Sophomore Treasurer Samuel Costello, Vice President Thomas Gehl social l10Ul', given by the SOpl1OrT'lOreS in their hOr'lOr. President Martha Jimerson, Secretary Mary Geisler The next year, the class chose Bill Williams as President, Vice-President, Richie Negri, Secretary, Anne Salo, and Tresasurer, Pete Yorio. The Sophomores entertained the Freshman at a very successful party. The refreshments and entertain- ment mode it an enjoyable affair. Carmen Puccio served as President of the Junior Class, assisted by Sari Barker as Vice-President, Eleanor Mertson, Secretarygl and Remo D'Ortenzio, Treasurer. The outstanding project of the class was the Junior Prom, which has become, in the estimation of most students, THE SOCIAL AFFAIR of the year. The decorations were patterned after the Mardi-Gras. The orchestra, placed in the center of the floor under a tent-like affair of red and white crepe paper surrounded by a little white fence, played to a capacity crowd. Balloons and streamers produced a festive effect. The punch was excellent and everyone spent a very enjoyable evening. The first senior meeting resulted in the election of the class officers for the year l95l-l952. Martha Jimerson was elected President. The other officers were: Vice- lfresidenr, lhomas Gehlg Secretary, Mary Geisler, Treasurer, samuel Costello, There are many activities in which a senior class participates. The first of these was the Senior Get-Together. ln the gym, they played games, danced and ate. The next social affair was the Thanksgiving Prom. This has never been a money-making dance and this year was no exception. 'However, after the prom came the highly successful magazine campaign. Each year the seniors sell magazines for the purpose of raising money to finance their various projects. The largest share of the money is used for the senior trip. In order to go to Crystal Beach, the seniors had to raise 53000. They topped this quota by 5965. The general Chairmen for this campaign were Theresa Miller and Townsend Lalonde. The homeroom chairmen were: Miss WoIcott's-- Helen Graf and Mary Geisler Miss CIute's-- Leroy Share and Linwood Russell Miss Farr's- Mary Schwartz and Patricia Stoquert Mrs. Kresge's-John Barrett and Remo D'Ortenzio Mrs. Kresge's homeroom sold the most magazines, thereby receiving as their reward some money for a homeroom party. Mary Caruso, by selling more magazines than any other senior earned a radio as first prize. A second prize of 57.50 was awarded to Katherine Baker, a third prize of 55.00 went to Margaret Collins, a fourth prize of 53.00 went to Anne Salo, and a fifth prize of 52.00 went to James Smith. The Christmas Prom, Frosty Frolic was a succesful well attended and profit- able dance. The dances which the class sponsored proved their ability to cooperate. More activities of the industrious class were Class Day, a howling success and the very important Senior Play, Cheaper By The Dozen . lt played to a capacity house both evenings thereby netting the seniors the largest receipts ever to be realized from a senior play. The class trip to Crystal Beach was enjoyed by everyone. Swimming, roller coaster rides, food, etc., always add up to a good time. 1 Commencement was the traditional solemn, beautiful ceremony, climaxing the students' four years achievments. There were sad and glad faces among the seniors and in the audience, for many Seniors were saying their last good-byes to Corning Free Academy. After graduation came the Alumni Banquet and Dance, at which the alumni welcomed the new members into their ranks. As the Seniors looked back on their years in the Academy they realized how quickly the time had passed. They knew that they had learned lessons in cooperation as well as in studies that would endure a life time. page twelve
