CLASS HISTORY h5 Freshman Year M6 On September hth 19h5 we took our initial step into the strange and hitherto unexplored realm of high school. In addition to the pupils who were with us through the first eight grades, many former parochial stu- dents were among our group. In this first year we remained in the back- ground as far as extra curricular activities were concerned as we were much too busy assimilating this new and exciting period in our lives. M6 Sophomore Year M7 Our Sophomore year well fulfilled all the expectations we had had as NFneshies.H Now, firmly entrenched in the pattern of the high school, we had several representatives on the Luzerne Line, in the newly established Pep Club and Pepettes, while quite a few of the male members in our class played football and basketball. M7 Junior Year h8 This was the year when we selected class officers for the first time and when the ballots had been counted, John Slavish was president, Edward Dudes, vice-president, Tony Foglietta, secretary, and Chester Dragon, treasurer. On the social side we were co-sponsers of the Junior-Senior prom and full responsibility was taken by us for the Halloween Dance. Our dramatic triumph,the play WThe Ghost Paradeu was directed by Miss Dorothy Connolly and had its presentation on April 6th l9h8. In the cast were Andrew Kempa, Edward Vernalis, Charles Lucy, Sylvester Urban, Bernadine Evasic, Joseph Kurent, Donald Kleinsorge, Bernice Gorewich, Bernadette Birkbeck, Norma Moses, Joseph Serivage, Earl Atherholt, Barba Del Lovik Jeannette Karlotski, and Maureen Monahan. The student director was Janet Sheposkee. h8 Senior Year h9 The year we had so eagerly awaited was launched by the election of class officers with John Slavish as president, Rose Cocchi,vice-president Robert Oravitz, secretary, and Edward Dudes, treasurer. Although there were but two Seniors on the squad their presence added immeasurably to the success of the football team. They were Anthony Foglietta as captain and as co-captain, Joseph Stravinsky. On the gym floor,Edward Dudes, lone senior member of the five, was captain of the basketball team. The Senior play arain directed.by Miss Dorothy Connolly with Dorothy Byelick and Barba Lovik as student directcrs, was presented December 15, l9h8. The cast included Anna Romonko, Norma Moses, Irene Zapotsky, Rose Mary Casper, Maureen Monahan, Victoria Burke, Zigmond Karlotski,Sylvester Urban, Michael Kovalchick, and Earl Atherholt.
