Senior RAY MARSHALL CHARLES DOVERSPIKE President Vice-president As freshmen on the first rung on the ladder to graduation, we were somewhat awed by the ease and assurance with which the upperclass- men went through the school routine. Would we ever be able to walk along the third fioor hall without feeling self-conscious? A tea dance at Christmas, a skate, and several other dances en- abled us to become better acquainted with fellow freshmen and to put off the feeling of uneasiness. We were important in our own right at the freshmen prom for which Tony Krozly's orchestra was engaged and of course we were the center of attention that memorable night in May when we received the certificates which entitled us to call ourselves members of Ford City Senior High School. As we reached the second step to our ulti- mate goal, we headed our class with the follow- ing capable officers: President, Stanley Glady- siewski, Vice-president, Robert Stepp, Secretary, Jackie Darrall, and Treasurer, Charles Stroud. Under their leadership, we sponsored several dances, but of course the big event was the Sophomore Prom, at which we entertained the Juniors and Seniors. As we grew older, we became better prepared to take our place in school activities. BEVERLY HOY HELEN FOLCIK Secretary Treasurer This was perhaps the most successful year in our school history. Through the efforts of our officers-President, Ray Marshall, Vice-President, Pat Ryan, Secretary, Beverly Hoy, and Treasurer, Charles Stroud, and our class chairmen, we made this a big year financially. Our Junior Play, A Credit to the Family, made a hit with all our friends. As a fitting end for such a year, one spring night the new gym was transformed into a South Sea island paradise as we enter- tained the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Prom. At last we reached the top-seniors! How important we felt as we went about the tasks associated with sponsoring dances and putting on our play, The Whole Town's Talking. As a climax to our social season we ioined with the juniors in sponsoring a combined Junior-Senior Prom. With Ray Marshall, Charles Doverspike, Helen Folcik, and Beverly Hoy as our officers, we made our last year a happy one. As the end approached, we were caught in a whirl which in- cluded our prom, our banquet, baccalaureate and, of course, the big night when we received our diplomas. It was with a feeling of sadness that we realized that our high school days were over.
