Senior Class History Four years ago, three groups of students from different schools started their Freshman year. They were confused and unacquainted with the school building, activities and customs, but soon began planning for their careers, choosing whichever course suited them. After settling down to work, the class organized and held elections. Paul Kelly was elected President, Ray Oyler, Vice President, Janet Mazuer, Secretary and Ronald Auld, treasurer. Home room lO7 won the first prize in the JuniorXHigh Christmas contest because it was the neatest and best decorated room. Later in the year the class started a long line of activities by holding a dance. The participation of all the students in the dance ended the year with success. As Sophomores, the class was even busier. Most of the students were chorus members who participated in the operetta The Fortune Teller. The class was proud of Kay Ryan, who had one of the leading roles. Martha Flint and Ali Murtaza joined the class in their Sophomore year. Martha was talking when she came and hasn't stopped talking yet. Paul Kelly and Ray Oyler again received the two top class offices, with Kay Kontos as Secretary, Janet Mazuer as Treasurer and Kathleen Auld as Class Historian. ln our Junior year we planned even more activities. During the elections a tie occurred in the vote for secretary between L. Brannigan and K. Auld. Ordinarily the President Tom Carrigg would take care of this as a matter of course. But in this case Tom had occasions to turn several shades of red before choosing his girlfriend Laurelee. Tom Carrigg was chosen as President, Kay Kontos as Vice President, Janet Mazuer as Treasurer and Mildred Galla as Class Historian. And speaking of ties during the sale of magazines Mildred Galla and Liz DePaulo each had the same amount sold on the afternoon the drive was to close. By four o'clock the tie was broken, but both girls were awarded watches for their efforts. Ralph Silvy was an addition to our class after Christmas. The most exciting event of the year was our class play Smarter and Smoother. It was presented under the direction of Mr. John Good, with Betty Jean Bellas and Tommy Pomper in the lead roles. A ioint dinner party with the Seniors ended a very active year, leaving us very eager to become Seniors. This year we outdid even our Junior class record. Our Senior class officers were: Ray Oyler-President Tommy Carrigg-Vice President Janet Mazuer-Secretary Kay Kontos-Treasurer Genevieve Malile-Class Historian Our Graduation pictures and class rings took up some of our time and most of our money. Our Christmas spirit came from two sources, the sale of Christmas Cards and the aid we gave to the project of buying toys for orphaned and hospitalized children. December l was the date of the Senior Play, under the direction of Mrs. Helen Morgan. The name of the play was Murder in Rehearsal. This mystery turned into a very good play with a surprise ending. The most exciting event was the Prom, a really gala event that was worth waiting for. Later on, a Senior King and Queen presided over a beauti- ful May Festival. At the very last, there was Graduation. Forty students marched slowly down the aisle to receive their diplomas. Some were sad, and some were happy, but all had fond memories of their school years. 24 ,,,Lp,, .e . hs.
