CLASS HISTORY The Senior Class has long been known to faculty, alumni, and others as an outstanding one. Our class, more than many others has shown wonderful spirit and enthusiasm in all phases of our lives. lt all started on a brisk morn when we gathered at No. 9 school, then our High School annex. Days passed into weeks and we 'found all our available time was being consumed in our studies and our activities. Soon, we frosh began seeping into the ranks of the upper classmen. Many of our boys made the J. V. teams, our girls made the cheering and twirling squads as substitutes. Soon summer was upon us. We anxiously awaited the completion of our new high school. Sophomore year came and with it occupancy in the new high school. Here we made our mark. Under the able leadership of our advisers, Mrs. Markey and Miss Filippone, we chose as class officers John Cali, president, Anthony Graceffo, vice-president, Carole Nitus, secretary, and Linda Hartos, treasurer. We ioined clubs, took part in school government, and enioyed being a rung higher on the class ladder. Soon a maiority of us were on the Varsity teams. With the spring came our Sophomore Shipwreck, a class sponsored dance, and the knowledge that next year would be all important to us. With zeal and vigor we entered our Junior year. We elected our officers: Richie Woidyla, president, Anthony Calandriello, vice- president, Barb De Piero, secretary, and Joyce Chap, treasurer. How eagerly we awaited the arrival of our rings, made the plans and preparations for our party, Autumn on the Campus , and re- hearsed our play, Do You Trust Your Boyfriend . Most of us be- came well-known. Soon one of the most important events in our lives became not the dream which it long had been, but a reality- our Junior Prom.

We were now top dog . ln electing our officers we chose those who would lead us through our last year at G.H.S. - Georgia Verish, presi- dent, Fran Perrone, vice-president, Jane Messler, secretary, and Richie Woidyla, treasurer. We cheered our teams on to many vic- tories and after our losses, patted them on the back and said, We tried our best . We were leaders. Despite the College Board pre- parations, we still found time for the fun and preparation for our Sadie Hawkins Dance , and making hearts for Haven of Hearts , our Valentine Dance. Expectantly, we looked forward to a magical month-June-which brought Class Night, the Senior Social at the Waldorf, and our very special night-the one for which we had worked and prepared so long-GRADUATION NIGHT.
