 President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer [■ Richard Smith Caroline Draper Nancy Ostrander Eric Andersen The Freshman class, with the help of their advisors. Miss Davis and Mr. Shekitka, have had lots of fun this year. The Halloween Hop on October 30 was the first dance of the new school year and drew a large crowd. In December we packed two Christmas baskets for Mrs. Osborne to distribute to needy families. We hope that the giving of Christmas baskets may become a tradition for every class at Onteora. Because of the success of our first dance we sponsored the Irish Jamboree on March 12. Everyone who attended the dance was required to wear green or pay the penalty. It was truly a night for the Irish! We enjoyed a wonderful class picnic in the late spring to climax our activities.

The officers, with the help of a cooperative group of students and their advisor, Mr. Stahl, earned out the schedule of events efficiently. The Winter Wonderland dance held on December 7 was very well attended and displayed the capability of the class in producing entertainment and adding funds to their treasury. The Pineapple Prom was really the first activity of the Sophomores. We were still Freshmen when we held this dance on April 17. 1953. We are looking forward to another eventful year as Juniors.

Many stage struck Onteorians turned out for the Dramatics Club's second year ably led by Mr. Thornell. They were busy rehearsing for the Junior-Senior play, The Saturday Evening Ghost . Once the cast was chosen the wheels of production began rapidly to revolve. Through the untiring perseverance of Mr. Thornell, the play was presented before two appreciative audiences with two different casts each night. At one of the first meetings they selected this year’s officers: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer . Historian . . . . . Dick Smith .. Roy Hoffman Kay Montiforte . Kevin Purfield . Martha Young PROJECTION CLUB This club consists of 25 students in grades nine through twelve.
