LAST STEP BEFORE PERFECT ON JUNIOR OFFICERS Lefi to riylzt-J. Chermak, Sec- retary, li. Miller, Treasurer, R. Thompson, Student Coun- eilg N. Gillson, President, J. Murphy, Student Councilg A.

Our first day was a frightening and confusing experience, but soon we became familiar with the different classrooms fwith the aid of our sympathetic upper classmenj. However, with- in a short period of time we gained confidence and won notice. We were determined to make our Alma Mater proud of us. To accomplish this goal members of the class began to take part in extra-curricular activities with vigor, energy and enthusiasm. ln athletics the juniors proved their prowess by helping make this year's sports events out- standing. Among the star members on the foot- ball team were john Nlurphy, Neil Gillson and Ed lvliller, who was a student at the Academy for the first time this year. Another newcomer was Dick Givens of Newark Valley, who gained prom- inence on the Varsity basketball squad. Larry Dickinson, who played on the most invincible Innior Varsity basketball team Dwego has ever had, was a familiar sight to all sports enthusiasts. Maiiy junior boys participated in Wrestling, which is becoming more popular each year. Our scholastic ability was also in evidence. A great number of juniors occupied a place on the honor roll. With the assistance of our able class advisors, Nlrs. iwlyers and Mi'. Valvo, the juniors staged the gala event of the year which, of course, was the Innior Prom. We are proud to say that it was an overwhelming success. To help defray the expenses for this event, we had several bake sales. The juniors took a great interest in the Dra- matics Club and an equal interest in the choirs, band and orchestra. In the line of student government, Dale lack- son won a decided majority of votes in the elec- tion for President of the Student Council. The whole class has been so occupied by their individual interests that the year has slipped by on wings. Although we look hack on it with a pang of regret, we are looking forward with anticipation to an even more successful senior year, our last stop on the assembly line of edu- cation.

Next, letls take a look at all of us. As in other years, the sophomore class has taken part in all the scholastic Helds. ln the athletic field it is manifest that the sophomore class is winning real distinction. Two sophomore girls are V. cheerleaders, and one sophomore girl is a Varsity cheerleader. We are well represented on the foot- ball squad and the football cheerleading. We have some wrestlers in our group, and a few girls and boys play noon-hour basketball. We are participating in the boys' and girls, choirs, mixed choir, a cappella choir, as well as in the bands and orchestra. A number of our girls are training in the secretarial Held, while the boys are learning new agricultural standards in order to make farming easier in the near future. Others of the class are studying arts-Latin, biology, and geometry. lt ' li 77 ' 15 pretty tough but with the teachers we have, even more difficult sublects could be mastered. Donlt forget to watch our class during the next two years. We are bound to be a most re- Hned product. ' Student Council, B. Hilde- Treasurerg P. Arnold, Stu-
