rl SON In September 1949, we members of the Class of 1953 set out to enjoy the many freedoms which our forefathers drew up in the Constitution. As our first president we elected Robert R. Mishol, assisted by Peter N. Ther- rien. The class secretary was John R. Kochanek, and the treasurer was Barbara A, Gay. In our domain, we held a successful afternoon dance and later in the year a TALENT REVIEW. To conclude our first term we made an excursion to Forest Park, where we enjoyed a gala picnic, When elections confronted us again, Robert R, Mishol was chosen president and Stephen A. Makuch, vice president. Helping them by keeping class archives was John Kochanek, and Alice R, Giza kept our books. With these capable leaders, we held a banquet in the school cafeteria which was followed by a pleasant dance in our auditorium, In the spring, Mountain Park was the scene of a picnic, the year's final activity. In our junior year, the school was all aglow when we sponsored our first eve- ning dance, “The Rhythm Club of '53. It was prosperous because of the leader- ship of Alice R , Giza, president, assisted by Joan M. Rzepka, vice president; Mary Pires, secretary; and Karl Kania, treasurer, The stage was glittering with decora- tion in June for our most outstanding venture--the Junior Prom, which we called Musical Fantasy, In the fall of 1952, our class elected as leaders: Peter N. Therrien, president; Kenneth Gauthier, vice president; Karl Kania, secretary; and Stephen A. Makuch, treasurer, Our fall dance, The Ghostly Gallop, brightened the auditorium with weird decorations! We held many assemblies to plan the numerous events of our senior year--the Senior Show, our spring dance, Ivy Day, Class Night, and Class Banquet. We are also anticipating the Prom of '53, given for us by the Class of '54, and Commencement --the end of one era and the beginning of another for us, mem- bers of the Class of ‘53. y 4 4 y y y 4 4 ; y ¢ ¢ y , y ; é ¢, % QO S 4
