Walter Parodies gives the campaign speech that helped him win the office of Student Council Vice-President. This our Ring Year has been a victorious one for the Class of 1954. At the very beginning of the school term we got solidly behind our two candidates for the Student Council and succeeded in electing Walter Parodies as Vice-President and Alice Murphy as Secretary. The Interclass Track meet, in the fall, found the Juniors winning more than their share of first places to capture top honors far ahead of our next nearest rivals the Seniors. This feat was repeated a little later when the class won the most points in the Student Council Hallowe'en party. The Christmas Season found the classes busy drawing pictures on the board and trimming the tree in an effort to win the ice cream party for the best decorated room. When the judging was complete it was announced that our room won first place with its theme, The Story of Christmas. The climax of our Junior year came with our Prom in May. After chosing Stardust as our theme the various committees got to work on the details +hat made the evening one that will always remain a pleasant memory for those who attended. 25

 ALL WAVDS The Sophomore Hop Committee Front Row: B. Kurtz, F. Triolo, M. Heroy, P. Sooderhom. Rear Row: J. Shaefer, J. Pole, R. Thorpe, B. Jansen. The Class of 1955 is proud of the record that it has made as Sophomores. Led by Miss Post and Mr. Bartow, our Advisors, we made a good showing in most of the school functions and continued to build a spirit that we feel will mark us as one of the outstanding classes in New Paltz history. After many committee meetings and much preparation, November 26, the day of our Sophomore Hop, finally arrived. In keeping with our theme, Harvest Hop the gymnasium was gayly decorated with scarecrows, pumpkins, cornstalks, and even stars and a paper moon suspended from the ceiling. Robert Thorpe's band supplied the music supplemented with recordings for the square dance numbers. The feature of the evening was a floor show which included soloist, a quartette and a fashion show in which the boys dressed as models. Refreshments of cup cakes and punch added to the enjoyment of the many who attended. At Christmas time Room 7 was decorated as Santa’s Workshop complete with fireplace, stockings, toys, and Santa h'mself, while the theme for Room 3 was Dickens' Christmas Carol. The students danced to the music of Roger Thorpe’s Miss Post's students enjoy their Christmas party bond ot our very successful Harvest Hop. complete with tree and gifts.
