Class History F RESHMAN YEAR In September 1955 a gay group of freshmen, not being a bit shy, came roaring into Keyport High School ready to get into the swing. It didnit take us long to become a real part of the school clubs and follies. Football, basketball, band, twirlers and cheerleaders were only a few of the school activities in which we became interested. Robert Sulli- van got us off to a good start by being chosen our representative to the Student Council. VVe were determined to make our class outstanding in social and academic functions during our four years at Keyport High School. SOPHOMORE YEAR Returning the following year as sophomores, we began to take part in many more of the extra-curricular activities. WVith many of our boys on the football team, we finally accomplished our goal-we beat Matawan! This was the year that we were undefeated and won the Shore Confer- ence Championship in Group B. Sophomore representatives were added to the Student Council. Two sophomore members, Harriet Wolfe and judy Brown, were elected to the National Honor Society. IUNIOR YEAR A This year we were nearing the peak of our high school career. We formally organized our class and elected officers. For President we chose 'john MacLean, Vice President, Harriet Wolfe, Secretary, Clementine Mon- tagna, and Treasurer, Mary Luccarelli. These officers were ably assisted by our class advisers, Miss Reilly and Mr. Fiedler. Candy was busily being sold by all the juniors to help pay for all Washington Trip expenses and class dues. Our two dances, Star Dusty and Mardi Crasf, and the arrival of our class rings were the highlights of our junior year. Fifteen more juniors were elected to the National Honor Society and were introduced at the Spring Concert. SENIOR YEAR At last! Seniors! We were off on the most exciting year of our high school career. The school was operating under a staggered session with the seniors astaggering inn at about 7:30 a.m. We showed our enthusiasm and leadership by heading many committees in school. Our class advisers, Mr. Fiedler and Miss Reilly, again aided us in the organization of our class. Our officers were Robert Sullivan, President, jay Phillips, Vice President, Carol Ullmeyer, Secretary, and Mary Luc- carelli, Treasurer. These executives represented a class of 162 seniors. Many exciting events took place this year. VVe started with our two dances, Corn Cob Rocki' and Silver Wonderlandf' In january the student body selected Vernon Stultz and Carol Ullmayer as Campus King and Queen. They were crowned at the annual Open House ceremony on April IO, which was held for our family and friends. Then came our senior trip to Washington on March ll, 12, and 13. The Hotel Raleigh, the Capitol Building, Mount Vernon, and all our en- joyable times there will hold a special place in our memories. Next came the Spring Concert which was a success as always. We all eagerly an- ticipated the final social event of our four years at Keyport High School --the junior-Senior Dinner Dance. It was an eventful evening with fun and excitement for all. Then came graduation! Receiving our diplomas made us feel both proud and sad. The gay whirl of the last few weeks had come to an end and as we sang our Alma Mater for the last time, we realized how much our four years at Keyport High School had really meant to us.
