Glass gfistorty Two years ago we were first united. Previously we were members of four schools: New Marlboro, Sheffield, Searles, and Roeliff Iansen. We had 43 students when we started our junior year at Mount Everett. Class officers for that year were: President, Reginald Brock: Vice-President, Helen Love: Secretary, Fay Stoddard: Treasurer, Virginia Schultz: Student Council Representative, David Emprimo. In the early spring of '56 we gave a round and square dance, The Home Run Hop . On Iune 15 we sponsored a dance for the departing seniors. Theme: Moonlight and Roses . In May 1956 we became the first proud possessors of Mount Everett Regional class rings, black onyx in a gold setting. During our junior year we lost the following members of our class: Diane Handlowich, Ioan Scott, and Margaret Golden. In September of 1956 we returned to Mount Everett to complete our last year. Upon returning, we found that many of our former classmates had left us. These were: Richard Bothoff, Barbara Curtiss, Susan Sande, Fred Schneider, Fay Stoddard, and Eleanor Swain. Mary MacKoul left us in the latter part of our senior year. We were joined, however, by Francis Lemere from Avon, Connecticut, and Carol Keresztes from New York City. Officers of the class were: President, Helen Love: Vice-President, Zoe Card: Secretary, Virginia Schultz: Treasurer, Sally Preston: Student Council Representative, Virgena Zilka. Our first social event was our Halloween Costume Dance, which proved to be quite profitable. Many good costumes were seen and prizes were given for the best. On the nights of November Z8 and 29 we presented the play Aunt Cathie's Cat , a mystery- comedy in three acts. The leading actress was Emily Palfini: actor, Robert Clark. Supporting roles were played by: Helen Love, Virginia Schultz, Annette Choquette, Sally Preston, Judith Dunton, Francis Lemere, Dennis Whitcomb, Winifred Dow, and Helen Woodbeck. Richard Pekrul and Theadore Somes, two junior boys , took parts to help make the play a success. Five days before the yearbook was sent to press the senior class was saddened when they lost Virgena Nirgiej Zilka, the yearbook Editor-in-Chief. Our next big project was to sponsor the junior Prom. The theme was the beautiful southern song Gone With The Wind , and the gym became a Southern Mansion. Now we eagerly anticipate the arrival of Class Night, and, most of all ---- Graduation, after which we will embark upon our journeys through life. .
