As our projects We held two bake sales, a Tinsel Frolicn dance, an amateur show and climaxed our first year with a trip to Crystal Beach. ln the '53-'54 year we stormed the school as energetic sophomores. Since both our ad- visors had left, we elected Mrs. Julia Trombley and Mr. William jackson as our new and very able advisors. We then elected joseph Degenfelder, President: Dana Boss, Vice President: Mar- jorie Parker, Secretary: and Sylvia Dial, Treasurer. During this year we had a bake sale, a 'Cupid Capers dance, and a Sophomore Carnival, all of which proved to be very successful. Again we ended the year with a trip to Crystal Beach. Prom year finally arrived! We gave this important year a big push by electing Bob Graves. President: joe Pellegrino, Vice President: Camille Gartner, Secretary: and Ioan Voncina, Treasurer. The junior Prom was held in April. The beautiful Rhapsody in Blue was our theme. Other big projects were: choosing our rings, the Junior Carnival and dance, Christmas card sales, and an amateur show. We also won S300 for selling subscriptions to the Gowanda News. Seniors! The goal for which we had aimed for four years was finally reached. Bob Graves was again chosen as the man for the Presidents job. He was ably assisted by Larry Dial, our Vice President: Sandra Ratzel, our Secretary: and judy Fowler, our Treasurer. Our first big project was the selling of magazine subscriptions. During the Christmas vacation we held our Senior dance at the Moose Hall with Winter Wonderland as our theme. We took over the hot clog stand at football games, had a bake sale and a very successful Senior Carnival. We chose the delightful comedy, i'Quiet Summer, as our Senior play. It was performed March 16 and 17 and also for the patients at the State Hospital, as has been done in previous years. With Mrs. Demery's kind help, we made it a success. Time came for Washington! Because of Mrs. Trombley and Mr. jackson's assistance, we achieved this goal. When we came home there was only a short time left for us in G. C. S.
