CLASS HISTORY Just six short years ago we, the class of 1953, entered Harter High School. At first we were a little fearful, but our fears were soon subsided under the guiding hands of Miss Logue and Miss Volroth. Sports Night was one of the highlights of our eighth grade year. The first student council was organized this year under the supervision of Mr. Hoynowski. We were allowed to elect representatives to attend these meetings. In ninth grade some of our classmates were chosen to take part in the Christ- mas Program. Mary Kalena was elected cheerleader from the Junior High and Bernard Partington and Daniel Stosek were picked for the baseball team. The big event of our Sophomore year was the Snowball Dance. Barbara Pash- inski and Beverly Ann Jones were elected attendants to the Snowball Queen. We were becoming more prominent as John Jola and Bernard Partington made the varsity basketball team. The year was climaxed by our picnic at Lake Silkworth. Our Junior year was highlighted by the annual Junior-Senior Prom. With Mrs. Dobson as our Advisor, we all worked diligently to raise money to make this a huge success. A banquet was given by the Back-Mountain Lions Club honoring the basketball team for receiving the championship for the Back Mountain League. Well, here we are now our last year at Harter High. We lost many friends along the way until our Senior Class now numbers forty. Mr. Davis and Miss Virtue were chosen as Qur Advisors. Barbara Van Horn was elected President of the class, Marilyn Jones, Vice President, Barbara Pashinski, Secretary, and Edward Mikulski as Treasurer. To raise money for our yearbook, Memories, we undertook many projects. Al Christmas we sold cards, and during the noon hours our candy and soda stands were a familiar sight. Nearly every Wednesday night couples could be seen dancing to the strains of the music from our iuke box. Our first big social event of the year was the Halloween Dance. Barbara Pashinski was elected Harvest Queen for the Thanksgiving Dance. ln February we presented our class play which was a comedy called Shoot the Works. Glory unexcelled was brought to Harter High this year by its basket- ball team. The varsity was composed almost entirely of Seniors with Whitey Stewart as Captain. The team received the championship for the Back-Mountain League for the second year in a row. They also went further this year to obtain the crown for Districts 2, 4, and 12. This is truly a year which will go down in the history of basketball at Harter High. The annual sports banquet was given again this year by the Back-Mountain Lions Club. The team and cheerleaders were given awards for making possible our great success in basketball. Marilyn Jones was elected May Queen by the student body. She was crowned by Duane Hunter, President of the Junior class, at the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Class night was held on May 29th. For our class trip we went for a cruise up the Hudson River. Commencement exercises were held on June 4th.
