September, '51 - Now we were iuniors! Upper classmen at last! Earlier hours, harder studies, and less time for leisure, but upperclassmen! The initial move was that of choosing leaders: foreman, Arthur Catapano, assistant foreman, Robert Williams, recorder, Judith Wilson, and dccountant, Robert Parisi. One of the symbols of our achievements came in the form of our class rings. We felt that there could be more unity among classes if these rings bore a standard crest. For one year a committee worked diligently toward this goal, which was finally achieved in the early winter of our junior year. This year we presented the mysterious melodrama, Sky High, under the direction of Miss Ruth E. Dunlap and the chairmanship of Stanley Rosick. As in previous years we found the audience very susceptible to mysteries. Much credit was given to Dorothy Lentz, Joan Walters, and Elizabeth Sundberg for their fine acting. The iunior prom was a glittering event, with its theme, An American in Paris. Through the clever depicting of gay Parisian scenes, the decorating committee lent a Continental air to the dance. The chairmen were Dorothy Dederick and Richard Huie. September, '52 - The time was now approaching when we could once again see the light of the outside world. We were to find ourselves very much changed from the immature students who had entered four years before as freshmen. Our class officers this year were Robert Williams, president, Robert Hazard, vice- president, Jane Novak, secretary, and Barbara Dobratz, treasurer. The senior dance was held early in November. In keeping with the theme, Regal Rhapsody, Judy Wilson was crowned queen, with Janet Foucault and Dorothy Deder- ick completing the court as her attendants. Robert Hall and Steve Cerri served as co- chairmen of this very impressive occasion. November was a very busy month. Not only had we worked for a senior dance but also for a class play, The Daffy Dills. Lee MacDonald's tantrums, Barbara Do- bratz's fiery temper, and Arlene Posner's pretended illness produced peals of laughter from the audience. Not. long after, flash bulbs could be seen at various times during the morning session. Yes, pictures were being taken for our yearbook and we soon found out whether or not we were photogenic. Also at this time, the topic most discussed was college boards. With the assistance of teachers, who willingly gave up their free time, the students worked long and diligently at afternoon make-up sessions, but the re- sults showed that their efforts had not been in vain. After the hard work of the winter months we were overjoyed to have our basketball team win the Class B State Champion- ship by defeating the previously unbeaten East Haven team. Then we made our selection of caps and gowns and realized our four years of high school would soon be over. We entered Lyman Hall with the same carefree spirit of the eighteen forty-niners. We, too, found out that this spirit could not endure through hardship. We had to become adiusted to an adult world in order to cope with the problems that accompany manhood and womanhood. We look toward the future with the hope and determination to become successful in all we undertake, to become good citizens, and to make our country a safe and better place in which to live. Words cannot express our gratitude to the teachers who with patience and understanding guided us through these four unforgettable years and implanted in our minds that Success is made, not won. -H Janet Foucault Adrienne Vitali
