CLASS HISTORY By Bernice N. Hatch In the Fall of 1983 we met as a class. Looking back I see one hundred and three childish and bewildered Freshmen. We filled to overflowing our two home rooms, and were constantly confused about whether we belonged in Miss Myer's or Mr. Knox’s room. But after making all the errors which Freshmen usually make, we finally be ,an to get acquainted with our classmates and teachers and the building, all of which were strange to many of us. We learned very quickly that candy was sold on the first floor of recess by students for the benefit of the athletic association, and that our taste for ice cream or heartier food could be satisfied in the cafeteria downstairs. We began to like high school very much. Our first class meeting was delayed so that we might get acquainted before we chose our class officers and advisor. Our choice was: President, Joseph Yar-achowicz; Vice-President, Nick Addis; Secretary, Ethel Prince; Treasurer, Martina Hoag; and Adviser, Miss Campbell. Our selection for class officers for the other three years has been—Presidents: Joseph Yarochowicz, Nick Addis; Vice-Presidents: Ned Maxwell, Mary Wodjenski, Jerry Griffin; Secretaries, Jerry Griffin, Michael Pruchnik, and Mary Wodjenski; Treasurers: Martina Hoag and Claude Decker. During our Freshman year we had no large social event of our own. We learned that Freshmen are seen but not heard, theoretically. So we contented ourselves with attending games and cheering our elders, and looking with envy upon the poised upper classmen who appeared in assembly programs, and plays, and gaily enjoyed the dancing which followed the school events which were held in the evening. It is a school custom for Sophomores to celebrate what is known as Bow Day. Therefore we blossomed forth as Sophomores with enormous bows. Here both girls and boys vie with each other in color and size of bows and some of our smaller classmates adorned with wide hair ribbons or boy ties looked like Main Street School children visiting high school for the day. It was our uncertain honor, however, to be the first class to break the time-honored custom of the Sophomore-Senior Feed. This was a picnic held in May. All the food was supplied and the work done by the Sophomores. Often, we were told, that the Sophomores had politely to serve the Seniors until all the food was gone and it turned out to be anything but a Sophomore Feed. After counting the Seniors and counting ourselves, and then judging the Senior appetites by our own, we found that we were afraid to attack such a giant project. So much to the disappointment of the Seniors we had no feed. This year, however, we are sorry that we established that precedent. Our one great social event during the Junior year was on May 22nd, the Prom, another time-honored custom. We spent much time and thought on what
