At the beginning of eighth grade Butch Hanlon was again elected as the presi- dent of the Class of 1957. We organized a committee to plan our closed dance. Balloon busting predominated as a popular game along with dancing and refresh- ments. Dick Whalen and Gail Young were crowned Kingland Queen and received candy and pearls respectively. Mr. McCready's science classes will always hold memories of . . . along with our excellent tests marks. The Gettysburg Address era in Mr. Millard Henry's room proved to be beneficial to all and especially to La Netta Brown who won the contest. Eighth period of that year in social studies proved to be quite a restful time! No one will ever forget Mr. Hickey and his takeoff on Spaghetti Joef' Kay McKeeman and Kit Byrnes, Southern Belle and Torchy will never forget their nicknames, while the rest of us had to contend with the gavel. The cold wintry mornings in Mr. Drickis homeroom were certainly felt distinctly by those concerned. Our Christmas Operetta, Amahl and the Night Visitorsv was a great success and undertaking for us all. We were all surprised that we could make such a tremendous success on our own. A tripto Fort Niagara was the highlight of the year and the historic past was visited with great interest. Ninth grade came quickly after the beginning of Junior High School and again we called ourselves seniors. Our title Freshman'7 made us feel more a part of the student body. Many leaned toward scientific courses and took Earth Science. The trips to the graveyard and Sinking Ponds seemed exciting and adventurous to only one, but we learned a great deal about the world we live in. '4Stairway to the Stars , our first open dance was held with Bob Rose and Cecyl Hildinger as King and Queen. As in the preceding years Butch Hanlon was elected president of our class. Mrs. Byrnes served as our wonderful advisor. No one will ever forget Mr. Henrici and his humor!! The Senior Choir presented NThe Lowland Sea as an operetta which held much sentiment and meaning. Our sophomore year held many surprises in store. Denny French was elected president of the class. Our annual dance was entitled '4White Christmasn and turned out to be a social but not a financial success. Bill Donovan and Sharon Zee reigned as King and Queen: Geometry was the most talked of course of the year. The familiar question of what time does this period end rang in all our hearts when asked by our wonderful teacher, Mr. Pfleeger. Frogs were dissected by all that took Biology and many happy hours were spent with Mr. Lawson. 'LLet Freedom Sing, a television production. was presented by the senior choir under the direction of Mr. Eaton. To the entire school's sorrow, our beloved Mr. Elwood Eaton left the halls of East Aurora High School, along with many of our classmates, to join Iroquois Central. Many packed in the Aurora Theatre to see William Shakespeare's immortal 'tJulius Caesar that year. Our class was supervised by Mr. Shed during our Sophomore year. The Junior Year opened with the election of Bill Donovan as our president. The Sadie Hawkins Dance was a financial sucess with Bob Rose as Little Abner and Helen Wells as Daisy Mae. Our other social engagement of the year was our wonder- ful iflunior-Senior Prom over which Butch Hanlon and Barb Freeman reigned. As for scholastic work, seventeen of our classmates were installed into the Senior Na- tional Honor Society. Mr. Leland's jokes became a daily fad in American History along with the sheets with the purple printwll Best Foot Forwardn was the ope- retta presented with an extremely large cast on a very unusual stage. Our advisor- ship was doubled when Mr. Lawson and Mr. Shed were elected. Judy Reeves and John Minsker were elected to go abroad with the American Field Service and they went to Greece and Switzerland respectively. Finally we have reached our twelfth year in school. Now we are at the end of our career. Butch Hanlon was elected as president for the fourth year. The magazine sale was a tremendous success with Judy Henry and Larry Howe as top salesmen. With 3x5 cards, football games, basketball dances. Thesis', Beowulf, and Trigono- metry, we have had a fully packed year. Our class has felt privileged for having two wonderful exchange students at East Aurora High School this year, Nelly Beradi. of France, and Fridtjof Gorter of the Netherlands. As the annals of our high school days close, and as we continue on the road of life, the future looks to us for the solution to world peace. We shall fulfill our obli- gation and establish this peace for all mankind if we have the faith and courage to Search for the right road with mind and heart and soul.
