Early in the year, the sophomores entertained us at the annual Freshman-Sopscmore party. The high light of the year's activities was the presentation of the Shakespearean comedy, A MlDSUMMER NlGHT'S DREAM. As sophomores, we elected John Thomas, president, Eugene Patch, vice-president, Walter Dippo, secretary, Mary Helen Nelson, treasurer. At the Freshman-Sophomore party, we greeted the newly arrived freshmen. An enjoyable evening was spent by all who attended. Our junior year was full of activity from beginning to end. Our officers were: Walter Dippo, president, Peter Salo, vice-president, William Cheney, secretary, Mary Hagan, treasurer. The first major project we presented was the annual Christmas Pageant. The program was under the capable direction of Miss Helen Farr. Spring Magic was the theme of our Junior Prom. Mary Helen Nelson and David Currie were chosen as the royal couple to reign over THE SOCIAL EVENT of the year. One hundred-fold we began our senior year. We elected Jack Nesbitt, president, Margaret Sproule, vice-president, Laura Flanders, secretary, Sally Wheaton, treasurer. Our first major undertaking was the annual Magazine Sale. The proceeds, which amounted to 54,423 went to finance our senior trip. The general chairmen for this campaign were Lawrence Recktenwald and Andrew Pelych. Sally Woodhouse, Jane Clute, Lucille O'Neil, Robert Famcomb and Mary Hagan were top salesmen. The Senior get-together held on October 23, in the gym, was an evening packed full of fun and noise. Christmas time meant Prom time as the entire senior class, under the chairmanship of Peter Salo, worked wholeheartedly to make the dance a success. The gym was gaily decorated with white streamers and Christmas trees to present a wintry effect in harmony with the theme The SnowbalI . Immediately following mid-term examinations the senior play, Mother is a Freshman , dizected by Miss Janet A. Young, enjoyed a capacity crowd both nigths. On May 21, the Senior Banquet and dance was held at the Baron Steuben Hotel. Sally Wheaton acted as chairman of the affair. Next came the Senior Day on May 26 which was a howling success. David Currie was master of ceremonies. Our senior trip on June lO to Hershey, Pennsyl- vania was enjoyed by all of us. Before we realized it, graduation day was upon us. That day brought to our minds some of the most memorablie events of our lives. Each of us left to tread our individual paths in life, leaving behind us an unforgettable four years at C. F.
