several of the number were awarded-the highest honor of the school-membership in the National Honor Society. These students were Donald Abbott, Harry Rawlins, Eu- nice Eddy, Gale Abbott, Dorothy Kerns, Gifford Doxsee, Stanley Krasnoff, Joseph Crasson, Dorothy Manning, Ruth Bieder- mann, Doris Lockwood, and Janet Hirn. Harry Kranz was selected for the title role of the senior play, with Irma Brown as an- other of the main characters. Then came the last and final year for this influential class. For this year Donald Ab- bott, Joseph Crasson, Oliver Coulling, Janet Hirn, Robert Licence, and Irma Brown were elected to lead them to the triumphant climax of their high school life. In the fall, joe Devlin, Frank Lawrence, Walter Pres- son, Pete Bronson, Steve Paras, Monroe Raynor, and Richard Kennard were heroes of the gridiron. On the basketball court, 'Walter Oates, Don Abbott, Steve Paras, Pete Bronson, and Tom Sindler helped the school to have a successful season. With new twirlers and drum majorette, the band made more outstanding formations and per- formances, again earning the right to the title of the best marching unit on Long 16 Island. The cheerleaders, captained by Mar- tha Winter, and Donn Githens pepped up the sports events with their snappy forma- tions and cheers. This year the Masque and Wig Club gave one of the best performances ever witnessed in the auditorium of Free- port High School, You Can't Take It With You. Harry Kranz, Irma Brown, Robert Licence, Oliver Coulling, Lee Estes, Eugene Lynch, Claire Fischer, Frank Pavia, and Virginia XVright played important parts in the play. In March, more students were honored by being elected to membership in the National Honor Society. This year, in- stead of giving a regular class night pro- gram, the senior class decided to differ from the custom and present a program with the proceeds going to the American Red Cross. In June the class will sponsor the annual formal Senior Prom, followed in a day or two by graduation, an event long looked forward to by the members of this class. Now those 214 students are men and women, no longer the boys and girls of not so long ago, and they have a job to do-a job they will do to make Freeport as proud of them as they are of Freeport.
