.. 'aw-M. When we embarked upon our voyage on the good ship The Commodore as seventh graders, we looked with awe upon our new surroundings: the teachers, the classrooms, our new studies, and the seniors that looked so big. Island hopping to our next landmark, the eighth grade, we became more familiar with the school and its routine. And guess what! the seniors shrank a little. Our captain's log shows that in our Freshman year we sailed into a sea of activity in the Senior High building. Beginning to realize our meaning here, we buckled down to work. We became active socially, too, attending dances, football games, and basketball games. We had the privilege of electing our first May Queen attendant, Beverly May, who has since moved away. Our closely knit crew learned together to the halyards creating a very active year before we passed the landmark of our Sophomore year. The football queen's attendants from our class, our first, were Helen Jane Gonoski and Hazel Evans. We started our very successful canteens which were held in the school gymnasium every other Thursday. During our Sophomore year, our special dance was a Valentine's Day Dance with music furnished by our canteen disc jockey Slops. Shirley Anne Masch was chosen to represent our class in the May Day exercises. A class picnic, our first class social function, was held at Torkishs'. 84

'ln' .m....., 2s-s ll As we sailed this sea of education, we encountered a busy Junior year. The girls who at- tended the football queen from our class were Rose Marie Fields, Shirley Anne Masch, and Mary Ellen McCabe. Smart Arnold and his band provided the music for our Rhapsody in Blue prom held a.t Pleasant Valley Country Club on May 26. Financing this was our very successful class play, A Broom for the Bride, a farce comedy. Entitled to two Rose Marie Fields and Clair Ann Carney were chosen as May queen attendants from our class. As all our little ships came sailing home to the harbor of Perry High for the last time, we laid anchor at a port of great activity. Progressing rapidly, our new school was being built and the old one remodeled. The teachers became more strict towards the end of our journey trying to give us our last pieces of knowledge. Most of the class participatirg, our annual skit turned out to be the funniest and best ever. Two dances were sponsored by our senior class: the dance held by the annual staff and the Senior Christmas Dance, both held at the Sons of Italy. Our class play, The Divine Flora, our senior picnic, held at Maple Grove on June 2, and our commencement exercises are all memorable events. With this, we bring to a close a sometimes pleasant, some- times hard, but nevertheless, valuable and essential journey. 85
