r4' -i 'K 1 F A . . - if. .. ct iss ar ata We, the class of 1951, do not expect our history to be remembered on stone H tablets for archaeologists of future years to decipher. We simply wish to remind you, our classmates, of the oflicers, activities, and fun we shared as a class at East High Q School. f Like all classes we began at the Annex as excited and frenzied freshmen, only to become more excited and confused when we at last arrived at the main building as sophisticated sophomores. Once there we began the speechmaking and poster painting associated with class organization. For our first officers we chose: president, Rene 1 . Sevigny, vice-president, Jean LaCavag secretary, Sam Dattilog treasurer, Bud P , and social chairman, Mary Jane Villareale. Cupid's Follies , the first rung of our 4 i social ladder, was followed in May with another dance, Springtasia. We took our place X along the colorful midway of the S. C. A. Carnival with the pop gun booth which became a tradition of the class of '51, The numerous clubs and committees attracted the interests of many of our classmates, and by the end of the year we had found our place in the life of HE. H. S. The following fall we returned as jubilant juniors, and after a mature chuckle at the antics of that yearis freshmen, settled down to the business of being upperclassmen. Our first social event of the new year was the Mistletoe Mix, followed by the first junior-senior dance ever held at East, The 12-11 Special, with spring came the May Cotillionf, Cuilding us were class president, Don Hellmann, vice-president, Sam Dattilog secretary, Barb Boydeg treasurer, Jean LaCavag and social chairman, Mary ,lane Villareale. The S. C. A. Carnival saw our popular booths the pop gun and chuck-o-luck in full swing, while Carol Evershed and Anne Wilder held top offices in the student government. We pre- pared for our senior year by choosing Steve Bernstein as the Clarion's first swimming editor and Barb Popplewell as Orient editor. And in June, after passing our final exams and finishing an event- ful junior year, we emerged as full-fledged seniors. Following a sun-burned summer, we returned to our Alma Mater as seasoned seniors. At first, we found it difficult to adjust ourselves to our new responsibilities as top men on the totem pole. Chosen as Standard Bearer and Guardian of the Flag were Rene Sevigny and Barb Popplewell, re- spectively. Soon after the beginning of the year we elected our newest and last slate of officers: Sam Dattilo, presidentg Ken Myers, vice-president, Barb Boyde, secretary, Jean LaCava, treasurerg and Jane Conte, social chairman. Our new officers, with the help of the council, and class advisors, ini- tiated a Senior Budget Plan, East's first, which incorporated all the numerous expenses of senior year into one economical payment. We started our senior social whirl with a successful old clothes dance, The Huskers' Hoedownf' and climaxed our informal dance schedule with The Thing in January. Class politicians Art Einsfield, Don Hellmann, Anne Wilder, Vernon Goodrich, Mary De- Peters, Bud Pattee, and Mary Rizzo all successfully campaigned for, and won offices on the S. G. A. slate for '50-'51. Our class shone again on the Carnival midway with a cane toss and pop gun booth, with Bud Pattee of our class as director of the affair. The senior play gave our budding Bemhardts and Barrymores a chance to score in the stage success of the year You Can't Take It With You. And when spring rolled around, the Frolics provided the singers, dancers, and comedians of the class and of the school with spotlights and greasepaint. The end of our final year came upon us all too quickly, and before we fully realized it we had examined with 4 admiration our 1951 Orient, danced through a dreamy and romantic prom, and It sung our alma mater at graduation for the last time as a class. g . . But this mere printed page can do little to bring back our golden high school f days. The laughter, songs, tears, and smiles of four years at East High will remain at forever tucked away in a special part of our hearts. Q..- , 17 .
