iizfer-me zgzniom SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The bell has rung, our final class is over, and we rush to the buses for the last time. As we ride avyiayi we take one last look at the place that has occupied our lives for the past four years of high sc oo . All of us are looking forward to entering new horizons in the coming months, yet with all this an- ticipation of good things to come, we pause a minute to reflect on all the wonderful memories that the past four years have created. It was in September, 1955, that the im act of our new responsibilities first hit us. We managed to survive the shock with the help of our abl,e advisor, Mr. John Sarkissian, who remained as our ad- visor for our entire high school career. One thing every class needs is money and ours was certainly no exception. We managed to raise some and still have a wonderful time at our Rock with Allan Freed dance. Our next maior proiect was to hold a semi-formal dance entitled Parisian Gardens. The girls wore the latest spring fashions to match the decor of the gayly decorated gym and Pete Tortora and his band supplied the music. Joe Kruse, our class president, worked hard to make all our activities successful. We struggled through the piles of homework in our sophomore year and finally managed to accom- plish everything we had set out to do. We held the elections for class officers and John Guarnieri led the slate as president. ln the fall we thought an Autumn Leaves dance would be appropriate. lt certainly wasl A large crowd attended and, as they say, a good time was had by all. Since Parisian Gardens was such a success in our freshman year, we decided to hold Japanese Gardens. When we think of this dance, we remember the moonlight shining on a gold fish pond with Japanese lanterns lighting the scene. We began our Junior ear with ldiot's Delight, a dance which had, as an added interest, Bee- thoven's Fifth S mphony pllayed during the intermission. ldiot's Delight Squared was our second affair of the year, and the entire class, led by Dave Al- lan, as president, worked hard so that all had an enjoyable evening. The day we received our Junior rings is one which we will long remember. Our class was the first to inititate round shaped rings. All this faded into the background as our main event of the year approached--our Junior Prom. Moonlight Mist, as it was called, was truly an artist's dream. The entrance was a rustic bridge over a misty pool of water. The lovely queen selected was Memory Twardy. Our Junior year was ended and the class of '59 left school with the thought that next fall they would be on top. They would be seniorsl At last, gli E had arrived. ldiot's Delight to the third power was highlighted by a door prize, which was a large gift wrapped door. Dave Allan retained his position as president of the class and plans were begun for the Senior Prom. Once again, Memory Twardy was chosen as queen of the prom, held on December 27 at the Put- nam Valley Lodge. Club '59, the name we gave to the prom could not have been more fun. The senior play, Stag Line, and our senior class trip proved to be very exciting. One of the most memorable events of the year was our trip to Washington, D.C. We would like to thank Mr. 8. Mrs. John Sarkissian and Mr. 8- Mrs. Richard Shields for making this trip possible. Besides having a wonderful time, we gained valuable knowledge about our nation's capital. This year, the class of 59 was the first class to hold their senior prom and their commencement dance out of the school. Our commencement festivities included a dinner dance followed by our final activity in Lakeland --graduation. .We all have many hopes and plans for the future, but these could not have been realized without the help we received from all connected with and interested in Lakeland High School. 62 , 6 I
