THE CLASS OF '57-BEST OF 'EM ALL A dream come true! was our attitude As we entered high school in a carefree mood. With stacks of books and a friendly hi! We did our best to suppress a sigh When those high and mighty seniors swept through the halls Making us feel suddenly meek and small. Our enthusiasm burst in our Junior year As we planned events, both far and near. There was President Rusty Maylone-a great leader indeed And Veep Dave Giusti-his strong shoulders we'd need. Our gal Grace Perry kept the checkbook straight While able Secretaries Brenda and Sue completed the slate. Smooth music and smell of pine filled the air At the Junior, Senior Christmas party-our first big affair. Remember the class cutting on that memorable day- To finish the details on our great Junior play? Our Easter vacation was spent in delight Waving the ceiling for lsland in Paradise - Quite a prom night! With leis of flowers and glittering crowns, Rusty and Linda reigned with their court all around. You could plainly see their attendants were merry Sandy, Beverly, Jean, and Grace Perry Also, Dick, John, Rich, and David Wood Our Junior class never had it so good! More names for the record as elections came 'round The team we selected was industrious and sound. Again we chose Rusty to lead us with zest And a man of business, Veep Dave Wood was the best. While Linda and Barb took good care of the letters, Alita, as treasurer, could not have been better. Silver Wonderland, How beautiful it seemed At our last Junior-Senior Christmas party, with a sparkling theme. Of course Dino was the pride of our hearts And each player gave it warmth, however small his part. Carousel was chuck full of gay music and fun Which depicted N. S. and all we Seniors had done. Our final big fling was an elegant ball That we'd been anticipating since way last fall. Class meetings, sock hops, and our terrific teams Make us realize that high school means More than homework and stiff long tests lt brings us friends, like Stephen, and happiness. Mr. Wagner, we thank you and the faculty too. For your thoughtfulness and help in whatever we do. Mr. Dickinson, Mr. Fogarty, Mrs. Smoke, Mrs. Mills, and Miss Devine You're peaches! You're tops!You're everything kind! lt seems these wonderful four years have flown by, But our cherished memories will never die!!
