da.66 tJ tori y To review our happy, hectic days in Irving- ton High School, we must go back to that first bright September day in 1948. We en- tered school with many mixed emotions; some found it difficult to forget the pleasures of summer; some dreaded to face unfamiliar teachers; and some few thrilled with this great new experience of high school life. The most memorable highlight of our Fresh- man Year was Initiation Day. Dressed in out- landish clothing and smeared with lipstick, we paraded the halls at the mercy of the Seniors. The one consolation we had was the fact that someday we, too, would be in the driver's seat. Our Sophomore Year found us so busy in the classrooms that we had to sacrifice our social life. We did, however, make one unforgettable expedition to New York to see, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Our Junior Year was a lively one. We had another escappde through the jungle of New York to see Cyrano de Bergerac. Our first attempt at dramatics was made a success through our production of A Little Honey, under the direction of Doc De Sormo. The Juniors established a new tradition by hon- oring the Seniors with a dinner and dancing at Bill Reiber's instead of the usual annual Junior Prom. We also changed the crest on the class rings. September brought the opening of school and the Seniors became the proud possess- ors of their flashy new rings. Our year opened with our chance to run the big show (Freshman Initiation). We displayed no mercy for those poor little underclassmen and gave it to them but good. One of the most pleasant highlights this year was our trip to Candle- wood. We spent an unforgettable Sunday —thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who gave us the use of their cabin and boats. The Senior Play, The Whole Town's Talking, under the direction of Doc De Sormo, was a great success. Even though things looked pretty bad during rehearsal period, the cast really turned in an outstanding performance. The class put on another profitable fund- raising campaign adding a large sum to the treasury by selling Christmas cards. An- other big event of the year came when the class produced the amateur show, under the direction of Mr. Wormley. And now it's June and plans for gradu- ation and Our Tomorrow are well in sight. We are all glad and yet a little sad that our high school life has come to an end. 23
