SENIOR CLASS -:Q A 1 if 'R fu. . - 5A F 2 ii R SENIOR LOG In looking back over our four years at Oyster Bay High, the class of 1955 can call to mind many memorable experiences. As freshmen, it was hard to believe that someday we would rise to the exalted position of seniors. Nevertheless, we knew that some- day we too would be boarding a busfar Wash- ington, D. C., and that we had to prepare, for it. 'iSiUCCe5SfUl, but the crowning glory came with the To help us up the first rung of the 'laclderflwe ,-f' elected Lucille Vaccaro president, Joe'Girolam'o vice-president, Gertrude Hunter secretary, and Jean Diedrich treasurer. Ou St m,on'ey-mak-.. mg activity was a successful., unpo party. When we returned n'ext'fqll os sophomores, we realized that ourf.Qclass,vvas growing ever, it larger, and that we.5y6gere a step higher on the ladder to seniority. T6 guide us in this year's proiects, we elected as president, Larry Remsen, as vice-president, Joe Girolamo, as secretary, Gertrude Hunter, and as treasurer, Jean Died- rich. To start us on our way to a very prosperous year, we sold tickets to a flower show and sponsored on alumni basketball game. As the year progressed, we started work on our first dance, the Sweethearts' Swirl . This was such a success that we followed it up with a Sadie Hawkins Dance. In addition to the distinction we enioyed as a class, many individual sophs were making names for themselves: Jayvee and varsity squads found many of our classmen among them. Four sophomores were elected by the student body to lead the G.O. the following year. They were: president, Joe Girolamo, vice- president, Charles Lambertson, secretary, Dotty Platt, and treasurer, Trixie Clyde. We realized, when we became iuniors, that time was going fast. This was the year to boost our treasury to an all-time high, and we were ready to do iust that! We now knew each other thoroughly, and were able to select four capable iuniors as our class olficers. Larry Rem- sen was our president, Angelo D'Andre our vice- president, Gertrude Hunter our secretary, and Jean Diedrich our treasurer. Mrs. Viatori and Mr. Parr again were our sponsors, and their support- helped us greatly. This was the year we launch'ed many of our most memorable ac- fti'vities,' including several cake sales and a dance, the Hula Hop . These events were all Junior Prom, Japanese Fairyland . In a magi- cal setting complete with pagoda and dragon, we enjoyed that never-to-be-forgotten night, our last event of the year. Again members of the class of '55 were 'coming into the limelight. The varsity teams were composed almost entirely of iuniors, and thiifizgleaders of many organizations were also igiunigrs. A member of our class, Esther Bain, be- cameighwe first girl to serve as G.O. president.

Our four-day trip to Washington also was a wonderful experience for us. Now, looking back on our four years in O.B.H.S., we know that we can be proud of what we have accomplished, both individually and as a class.
