Officers of Class of 1959 as Sophomores Standing: Moynihan, Williamson, Salie, Crawford, Purpura. Sitting: Rizzo. We Set Sail In September of ' 56, our treasure ship was successfully launched with white sails billowing and flags flying. Though at first we floundered a little on the high seas, we soon oriented ourselves and set a straight course for destination x. After a month at sea, we elected officers to lead our crew and to keep our clipper in tip-top shape. They were as follows : Michael Rizzo, president; Susan Craw- ford, vice-president ; Marilyn Mitchell, secretary ; Sally Williamson, girls ' treas- urer; William Moynihan, boys ' treasurer; Judy Salie, Girls ' A. A. ; and Gus Pur- pura, boys ' A. A. On the night of October 25, 1956, when we had finally become used to life on board ship, we held a gay celebration. We danced to fine music, consumed enormous amounts of coke and doughnuts, and were entertained royally by talented members of our crew. Mike Rizzo did a memorable job as emcee for the occasion. Before we had been long en route, some of our masculine ship-mates began to show great promise in the world of sports. On the gridiron, the basketball court, and the hockey rink our crew members demon- strated great athletic abilities. When December rolled around, we fol- lowed in the tradition of previous treasure-ship crews by presenting a Christmas assembly. It was a fine pro- gram in which well-known Christmas carols were played or sung and their his- tories explained. For the rest of the year we sailed calmly ahead, fortunately meeting no rough seas and avoiding all hurricanes and typhoons. By June of ' 57, we had completed the first phase of our journey and were still on course, steering ahead straight and true. [20]
