February Braves In February of l93T, a group of unsophisticated, bewildered boys and girls entered the ninth grade at East High School. Nothing of importance occurred to make us outstanding, but day by day we lost our Self-CUllSCl0llSlICSS and gradually entered into the scheme of things. We did, however, have a voice in the student government. After an uneventful year of being mere freshmen, we reached the blissful, egotistical frame of mind, which marked us as sophomores. Many of the girls joined the nhl Club while l.he boys became members of the Hi-Y. We would gladly have sponsored a few social affairs but this was promptly squelched, so we retired lo the background once more. When we became juniors, we made an attempt to organize our class under the able chairmanship of lid Skovron and Jimmy Sullivan. Then came the problem of raising money, and the first project carried out was that of a dance. The mere sum of live cents! lt was a successand soon skating parties and dances appeared on our schedule. At last we are seniors! What a wonderful word is senior! It is like music to the ear of the lmdergraduate, for it represents the goal lbr which he is aspiring. Virginia MacDonald became M Club president, while Steve Beskid became vice president of thc Hi-Y. Our swimming star was Walter Jakubowski who broke many stat.e records in dashes. Un the football field we had such stars as ,lid Skovron, Steve Beskid, Jen' Davis, and Joe Black. Our basketball team was represented by Ed Skovron. Candidates for class ollieers were nominated and the results were as follows: Harold Brown, Presidentg Marge Moore, Secretaryg Ed Skovron, Vice President. and George Mizak, Treasurer. Class day came and went, with examinations following them. Now all our school days are over and we enter into this complex world with level heads and hopeful hearts. 16 U
