Adams, proved to be a huge success. Playing 'fbig sister to the Fresh- men, we formally welcomed them with the annual Freshmen and Sopho- moreparty. This time we were the hosts-not the guests. Our bright horizon was clouded by the death of a dear classmate, Dolores Natali. The days rushed by and before we knew it we were Juniors. This year our Class OHicers were: President, John Kovachg Vice President, Bill blorgang and Secretary and Treasurer, Frank Shavish. VVe were kept busy trying to earn enough money to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. One of our best attempts was the Junior Class Play, Pigtails, directed by lyliss Huffman, which was loudly acclaimed by all who saw it. lVhat fun we had preparing for the Prom! On the night of the Prom, we all glowed with pride, and justly so, for it was a night to remember. Only one thing marred the perfection of our Junior year. Due to the treachery of another nation, we entered the Second VVorld YVar on December the eighth, nineteen forty-one. Nineteen forty-two descended upon us and we returned to school as Seniors. VVe were determined, mature Seniors, for, being in the midst of war, we realized that this would be the end of all school days for many of us. ln View of the existing conditions, we had a really successful Senior year, led by our Class Officers: President, Bill Morgan, Vice President, Fred Stuvekg Secretary, Margaret Smith, and Treasurer, Barbara Van- degrift. Our chief worry was financing the Bethescope. The Senior ,Class Play, VVe're In The Army Now, which portrayed the trend of the times was produced and was wholeheartedly accepted by the public. Slowly but surely graduation time drew near. VVe'll probably never forget our frantic preparations for Class Night, nor the gravity of Gradu- ation Night. It was an occasion for pride as well as sorrow, pride in successfully terminating our high school career, and sorrow in leaving the place where we had worked and played during four short years. Our footsteps may wander far from the doors of East Bethlehem High School but a part of us will always be there. It is not easy to f.or- get the school where we made new friends and drew nearer to old ones. And, when memories are all we have left to comfront us, East Bethlehem will always have a place in the memories of yesterday.

It hardly seems possible that four years have gone by since we were Green Freshmen. How well We remember that first day of school, nineteen thirty nine ! I ! ! It was fun-for the upperclassrnenl As Freshmen we did feel as if we were intruders, but that soon Wore off. The highlight of our Freshman year was the Freshman and Sophomore party. After that, we really got into the swing of things. But our Freshmen days were soon over, and We came back in nineteen forty vowing vengeance for the initiation We had had the year before. VVe elected our first Class Officers in our Sophomore year. They were: President, lWary Bartyg Vice-President, Andrew Vvaskog and Secretary and Treasurer, John Kovach.
