After many wonderful experiences in the 7th and 8th Grades, the class of 56 crossed over into the fantasy land of high school. The great room called the study hall was to be our stomping grounds for the first year. Here we began our glorious trip through the adventureland that they call the best years of our lives . On the shoulders of Mr. Wishnowski was placed the task of steering our first course toward operation graduation . That exciting first year was one that we shall always remember. It is true that the laws of MHS said that we could talk to Seniors, enter in all high school activities, read in the HS library and enjoy ourselves when we found the time. Actually, there were a few things we did that we were not supposed to do such as running in the halls, going to our lockers, eating potato chips in Math class, and throwing books in study hall. We learned not to do this after a few sessions in Mr. McCaw’s 3-4 Club . We got down to business after a few weeks and elected our class officers: Ralph Armbrust. Presi- dent, Ed Schiller. VP, Mickey Terpening. Secretary, and Sheila Doyle, Treasurer. These officers led us up to the front of the fray toward operation graduation . One of our outstanding activities for the year was our assembly program Mr. District Attorney — plotwork by Stacia Zimnoski with literary contributions made by most everyone in the class. Our per- formance at the Halloween party fell flat for here our skit chickened out . . . and Valerie Decker. Amy Penny, Mary Ann Berdinka and Betty Kouros killed the performance by singing My Old Kentucky Home . Coach Muir commanded our Sophomore year with a great vision of things to come. In addition to our studies we found time to take a trip to the Museum of Natural History and the Planetarium in NYC. Here Betty Kouros. Sheila Doyle, and some upper classmen went through the wrong door and wound up in the fossil exhibit . . . where they were found petrified by Miss Scheff and Mr. Wishnowski. Officers who led our Battalion through the Sophomore year were Fred Machinchick, President. Ed Schiller, Secretary, Susan Young. Treasurer and Mary Ann Berdinka, VP. Now we looked ahead to the next year which in every student's life is the first year of living. Yes we were JUNIORS. We had survived last year's grueling struggles and were now ready for the glory road . We immediately elected officers for the journey. They were: Donald Sherwood, President. Stacia Zimnoski, VP. Fred Machinchick. Secretary-Treasurer. We had the best Junior Prom yet. The class worked hard to decorate the gym for the big occas- sion. The center of attraction was a spinning glass sphere which emitted colorful rays of shimmering light . . . and much to our amazement did not fall and shatter into splinters as it had done the morning of the Prom. The theme of the event was to be Blue Mirage but since we could not come to an agreement on how to show a Blue Mirage we wound up showing a Manhattan skyline. We were the first class to make money on +he Junior Prom. In the Spring we also entertained the Mepham Choir and netted $100.00. By the grace of God and the kindness of our teachers we finally reached the big year. Leading us in our final year in MHS were Don Sherwood. President, Ed Schiller, VP, and Mary Ann Berdinka, Secretary- Treasurer. Showing an unusual spurt of energy we got out and our money mad class sold more magazines than any other .... we then rested for the remainder of the year. The 1955 Soccer team, led by 6 Sen- iors, won the County Championship . . . then 4 Seniors carried the same spurt into basketball and came out Champions of B-l and B-2 . . . we won’t mention the game with B-3 Bridgehamp+on. The Senior Class repeated its dramatic performance of the Freshman year by putting on its annual play The Scarlet Hat . Much to the amazement of our class ... it made money. The final event of the year was our trip to Washington. A few of us having plans to elope tried to get the conductor to stop the train at Elkton. Md. — but. as we were apprehended by our chaperones, the plan goofed . . . and we went on to Washington to have a good time. We are hoping and praying that the whole class will graduate together. We are looking forward to the day when we can walk across the sacred green of the front lawn with Mr. Garelle's permission.
