The biggest social event of the year was a Christmas party held in the cafeteria on December l7.After all had received gifts and had refreshments, the class began its Christmas recess in the proper holiday spirit. Although having good times themselves, these students didn't forget that many others in the world are not as fortunate as they. Inspired by actual snapshots of hungry European children taken by their teacher, the children showed a fine, generous nature in sacrifi- cing to contribute money to buy a CARE package. They were the first group in the school to reach this goal. In connection with this and their study of business CLASS OFFICERS and friendly letters, several groups wrote letters to American children who are with their soldier fathers in Germany and also to some Genman children. Such activities gave many of the class members ideas for their essays on Americanism which were written when the class participated in the contest sponsored by the American Legion. The winner whose essay was submitted to the County contest was Mary Laks. The second best essay in the boy's division was written by James Bogucki. Junior candidates for the Hollywood W0scarn made their appearance when the Eighth Grade presented a one-act play, WIt's the Simple Lifed on April 9. Although rehearsals were interrupted by Easter recess, the co mittees worked very efficiently on properities, costuming, etc. On March 19 the county spelling contest was held in H.C.S. Eight menu bers of the class participated. Geraldine Potter was among the last four to go down. Her obstacle was the word Nconsciencen. The final activity of the year was an outing at Emery Park where much fun and frolic took place. Theresa Matuszak Walter Lewis Jack Kirkby 23
