FLIGHT LUG TAKE OFF We entered H.H.S. like most other freshman, green and awkward, however, we had a good take- off with Mr. Ralph Romano as our class advisor. At the beginning of the second semester we elected our first class ohicers. Joseph Rigolizzo, president, Nicholas Guerere, vice-president, Lee Turner, secre- tary, and Frank Donato, treasurer. Our first social function was the freshman dance. The decorations were Hawaiian and everyone present had a good time. SOLO FLIGHT The Sophomore solo flight had a happy landing when we once again entered the halls of H.H.S as big sophomores. Our class advisor was Mr. Charles Sipley and the ofiicers were: Dominic Cavuto, president, Nicholas Guerere, vice-president, Marie Berenato, secretaryg and Joseph Santora, treasurer. Being big sophomores, and having completed one-quarter of our high school life, we began tak- ing over more student responsibilities. We sold magazines to help defray the expenses. Although Andy Miller won the radio that was offered to the top salesman, practically everyone enjoyed the chocolate bars given out daily to those participating in the drive. Our annual class dance was held late in May and those who attended found themselves in a Dutch garden. Our sophomore class president, Dominic Cavuto led the grand march with his guest. JUNIOR CADETS As Junior cadets we were now upperclassmen. Joseph Rigolizzo became our new president along with Nicholas Guerere, vice-president, Marie Berenato, secretaryg and Joseph Santora, treasurer, remain- ing the same. My, but we were proud when we got our beautiful, new class rings! A pretty blue stone in a gold setting with our insignia also in gold. We had a big magazine drive with Susanna Zozone coming out on top as our best salesman. Her reward for her high sales was a wrist watch. Our biggest event was the Junior play. Giving a play was a new experience and we will never forget it. The play was Home Sweet Homicide, a mystery, about Mrs. Carstairs, an author, played by Lee Turner, and her three children: Archie, played by Tommy Monzog April, Josephine Romeo, and Dinah, Roseann Wigand. Handsome police lieutenant Bill Smith, portrayed by Charles Bruno saved the day by catching the murderer and later marrying Mrs. Carstairs. Our student director was Shirley Rittenhouse who assisted Mrs. Romeo Falciani, without whom our play could never have been the success it was. And then in May we worked and worked and finally the big night of the Junior-Senior Prom arrived. The theme was the Valley of Dreams, a snow scene. Rip Turner and his orchestra supplied the music. The snow queen was Lucy Andronica who reigned over the prom from her regal throne. WE EARN OUR WINGS As seniors, at last, we were flying high and at graduation we hoped to receive our wings. Our Senior play came early in December and the title was New Fires. It was about another writer and his family troubles, the writer being played by Charles Bruno who was supported by an all star cast. A fine directing job was done by Mr. Norbert Walser. Everyone had a good time eating and dancing at the cast party after Saturday night,s performance. Soon after this we decorated the auditorium for Christmas and were very proud of it. Our officers and class advisor, Mr. Charles W. Fisher, who did a marvelous job guiding us through our last two years of high school, remained the same as the year before. Senior Parent night will never be forgotten by any one of us, parents or students. Our weekly salary was earned through the sale of candy. It certainly was needed! Remember the time and efforts which were spent in the formation of our last big accomplish- ment-the Yearbook. Our dreams of the long awaited trip finally materialized. All of us found Washington exciting. What a time we had! In the last assembly we suddenly realized that our high school life was over. With our diplomas clasped in our hands we bid a sad Au Revoir to our Alma Mater. 47
