THE CHRONICLE OF THE 1957- 1958 In the fall of 1957, The Holten set sail. The voyage was to be a long one, but the reward — graduation — would be worth the anxiety and tension that accompanied us on the first leg of our journey. We, the youngest members of the crew, were uneasy, timid, and often mystified about the running of the ship. After we had learned our way around the ship fairly well, the older members of the crew gave us a party. It was called the Freshman-Senior Party, where we began to know each other a little better. Previous to the departure a Student Council election had been held. Craig Lichman and Lawrence Duffy had been successfully elected to represent us on the ship’s council. As we were becoming accustomed to the new routine, the ship experienced the first big gale. It was midyear; we, however, weathered the storm surprisingly well and with concentration brought the ship back on course and headed for a second part of the voyage. 1958- 1959 Now that we had been promoted to the rank of Sophomores, we felt that we could be assured of smooth sailing. The first need was to elect officers. Victorious in this election were Lawrence Duffy, presi- dent; Barry Robertson, vice-president; Evelyn Watson, secretary; and Joyce Whipple, treasurer. With these four at the helm, we were sure of a straight course towards that final goal — graduation. To show we were now full-fledged members of the crew, we held our first social event, the Sophomore Hop. It was a success and everyone was pleased. Previously, representatives to the Student Council were again elected as follows: Marsha Yetman, David Balser, Lawrence Duffy, Francis Burr, and Barry Robertson. This year was a big year for activities. Many of us participated in sports, music groups, and clubs. We, the class of ’61, were beginning really to be a vital part of the crew. 1959-1960 Now that we had passed the half-way point of the voyage, we all found the going much easier. To lead us this year, we chose David Balser, president; Robert Hiltonen, vice-president; Evelyn Watson, secretary; and Susan Ilalupowski, treasurer. Our Student Council representatives were Donald Bolduc, David Watson, Barry Robertson, Larry Duffy, David Balser, Janice Winskowicz, and Janice Sayward. The big social event on board ship was our Junior Prom. Held on April 1, 1960, it was a great success. In order to raise money for the completion of the trip, we held a cake sale, a Fearless Faculty vs. the Junior Boys Basketball Game, and a car wash. Very experienced, optimistic, and financially secure, we now charted the course toward the last leg of the journey. Page Twenty
