The Senior Epic There is no royal road to learning. This statement, made more than two thousand years ago, still holds true today as we have well discovered. Throughout our high school days it has become more evident with each passing year. But let us now go back a few years in our own history to September, 1956, the beginning of a new experience as freshmen at Paulsboro High School. It took us a while to become adjusted to the new surroundings, but under the guidance of our homeroom teachers and advisors, we eventually became a part of P.H.S. The first big event on the agenda was the Freshman-Sophomore Recep- tion. Enjoying this, our fancy then turned to politics, and we chose our class officers. Wayne Myers was elected President, Judy Cassel, Vice- President, Bonnie Kamman, Secretary, and Nick Duca, Treasurer. Through this experience, we attempted to gain a concept of democracy and the responsibilities which accompany positions of leadership. Soon afterward, the Freshman Assembly was presented. Under the direction of Miss Carlin, this lively variety show proved to be a success. Academically, the road was found somewhat more difficult, but employ- ing perseverance and determination, we became full-fledged sophomores. Being, perhaps, a little wiser , we began by returning the compliment and giving the freshmen a reception with Wayne Myers amiably serving as master of ceremonies. The magazine drive, supervised by Miss Vonada, occupied most of our time at the beginning of the year. We eventually finished with a total sales of S5,400, Jerry Delamater of 207 being high salesman. Having completed this project, we elected our class officers. They were: Nick Duca, President, Bonnie Kamman, Vice President, Eleanor Leone, Secretary, and Alice Eiden, Treasurer. Our sophomore year rapidly drew to a close, and on the whole was a successful one. We were just beginning to form an idea of what our aim in life might be. In the next two years this would steadily crystallize and finally come to manifest itself. Yes, we were now upperclassmen. As juniors we began to seriously consider our future plans, and, perhaps, to think for ourselves a little more clearly than before. Many of us learned what hard work was, and, as we look back, are rather inclined to believe that it was all worthwhile. We began by choosing our class oiiicers: Nick Duca, President, Mary Furnari, Vice-President, Eleanor Leone, Secretary, -and Alice Eiden, Treasurer. As the year moved on, we presented the Junior Assembly and, of course, received what we had long been waiting for, our class rings. Later, several of our outstanding scholars gained admission to the National Honor Society, one of the highest honors a student can receive at P.H.S. Admission is dependent upon those high qualities of scholar- ship, character, and leadership, and we certainly commend these students for their accomplishment. Michael McGlincy was elected President of the Society and led the group through 1959-60. Finally, came an experience which will never be forgotten, our first prom. With A Tropical Paradise as the theme, members of the Class of '60 worked hard to make it a success, which it was. This also marked 'the second successful year of the After-Prom Party. Certainly, this will live in the hearts of us all as the summit of our junior year. . In addition, Mike McGlincy and Bill Barnaby were ,chosen delegates to the American Legions Boys' State, and Rita Centofanti and Ann Sloan, delegates to Girls' State. Many of our classmates also took part in the school play, The Remark- able Incident at Carsofrfs Corners.
