Sharp Seniors The end of our stay in Ilion is coming up soon. As this goes to press we find we have left many Wonderful times behind, such as our great football concession stand. Home games were never so much fun, even though we did experience a game where everyone drank foam. Once we all got settled in the cafeteria we held elections of officers for our class and Student Council. Charlie Bennett, Tom Morris, Linda Caple, A1 Slocum, were President, Vice-President, Secre- tary, and Treasurer respectively. Don Keddell held the monopoly on the votes for President of Stu- dent Council. Other honors and jobs were offered to the Seniors. Leslie De Reus was selected for the DAR Good Citizenship Award and Elaine Mutchler, Pam Dauten, and Janet Goldin were chosen to lead us through the annual card sale. Later in the year Lois Hofstra and Sue Gogol took care of getting our announcements ready for us in J une. With the close of football season came the time for electing some Queens for Homecoming and the Senior Ball. Sandy Shaw and Leslie De Reus presided respectively over the festivities. This year's theme was Christmas Fantasy. As for basketball, this year we found ourselves tied with Mohawk for first place. The whole team did an excellent job and two of our classmates, Doug Bernard and Mark White, were chosen for the Iroquois League All-Star Team. Other Sen- iors that made up the squad were Al Slocum, Dan McGrath, Terry Sweeney, Bill Day, Don Keddell, and Marty Wilson as the manager. Right now we are looking forward with great hopes to another Sec- tion III Championship in this sport and in the win- ter sports, volleyball, ping pong, and badminton. There is much more of our Senior Year to com- plete and many more of us have to hear from our prospective colleges. Steve Getman seems to be our candidate for Yale and has an excellent chance because of his 275 on the Regentis Exam. Along with the memories that we are leaving he- hind we are making room for the memories that we have yet to create, such as Class Games, Spa- ghetti Dinner, and Paint Night fwhich started a bit early this year-like October, yeh Billll Then GRADUATIONIHIH!!! 25

fumpinf Juniors At long last we were Juniors! The only thing that really brought it home to us was the fact that many of us had 208 as a homeroom. Election time proved profitable, as we slated Paul Morris as President again, while Charlie Bennett assisted as Vice-President. Carol Klippellbecame our Sec- retary, and Steve Getman was again the holder of the purse. Don Keddell moved up the ladder as Student Council Vice-President. As far as subjects were concerned, whew! We had plenty of work to keep us busy. We soon learned we couldn't go to classes with blood shot eyes. But we did make up for all the hard work when we got to chemistry lab. One of our colleagues decided to test the bunsen burner with his sleeveg ouch! Another rinsed out his pneumatic trough with con- centrated hydrochloric acid. fthe class cleared out in record timel Did you know that a bunsen burner attached to a water faucet makes a great squirt gun? It was the greatest year ever for the Bombers with an pndefeated basketball season. They brought home the Section III Class A Championship title for the second straight year and we had reason to be proud of them. We can't forget our players who aided the victory, Doug Bernard, Al Slocum, Mark White, and Don Keddell, nor can we miss the cheer- leaders, Janet F rezza, Leslie De Reus, Susan Burns, Linda-,lo Caple, Cheryl Miller, Joan Snedeker, and Joyce Watson. Before we knew it class games had rolled around, and it was our turn to dress properly for the oc- casion. We held our own stock car races urged on by our checker flag cheerleadersg Janet Frezza, Nancy Frosch, Mary June Gardner, ,lean Dulak, Pat Alexander, Dizzy, Mary Ladd, Linda-Jo Caple, and Sandy Shaw. Having such a great team we caused the seniors trouble, but fell as the losers. Penny Remmel had a rough time with us at the open house. Next on the agenda was the Jr. Prom. Steve Getman, chairman, had fun with the pagoda, but we did finish on schedule. Kahiki proved definite- ly to be a night to remember. With the arrival of our class rings. we finally came to the realization that we had only one more year until graduation in '64f. There was no way to change the inscription on the rings.
