Eager to gain recognition, we started the trek toward success, and our youthful enthusiasm brought us through the first challenge, the magazine campaign, commendably. The big event of the following year was our eighth grade outing at Bushy Run. XVe hiked there to play baseball and volleyball and to eat hot dogs and drink too much soda pop. Already some of our students were be- ginning to show promise. Eileen Sadler, Richard Brat- kovich, and Robert Caut received the annual American Legion Award. When we became freshmen, we had our first party. It was truly a memorable occasion because of the careful planning of the committees and the help of our class adviser, Mr. Perich. Achievement marked our sophomore year. Fourteen students of our class were accepted as probationary members of the National Honor Society. Pioneering also in the held of speech, we earned the charter of the PJI-I chapter of the National Forensic League. Besides these, many members became active in musical and athletic activities. The junior year was the busy one. Wie elected Robert Gaut, president: Frank Diebold, vice-president, Judy Ly 5 X l .h I - x iv ,K-.

Profits from the refreshment stand and the dances enabled us to sponsor the prom. It was held in the gym, which was decorated like a Fantasy Land. Could there be better days? There were. Wie walked around in a daze, wondering if it were really true. It wasg we were finally seniors! We elected Robert Gaut as president for the fifth consecutive year, and chose Dennis Koontz, vice-presidentg Judy Chanoski, secretaryg and James Carnera, treasurer. It was a year full of taking tests, considering jobs, sending applications to business schools, colleges, and employers, and generally making plans for the future. Of course, we had time for a skating party, senior banquet, and play before arriving at Commencement. The learning process is not an easy one, but, with much guidance from our parents and teachers, we are already beginning to assume some of the responsibilities of adults. It seems to be an uncertain world we're entering. There have been two world wars within a half century, and the balance of world power is still wobbly. Yet scientists seem bent upon reaching new worlds. Vfill it be for our generation to build peace on this planet as well as upon another? . 5 xl
