SENIUH CLASS As we the Senior Stars of PHS step up to receive our Oscars on Graduation Day, we realize that all too soon our big production ‘The Class of 54’ has been completed. When we glance back over our four years of preparation for this day, we remember how far, far away graduation seemed when we, as bewildered Frosh, entered the PHS Film Studio for the first time, For our production manager we elected LOWRY MANN. He was ably assisted by DICK MILLER, SUE “OUR GANG” KRAMER, and BARBARA CORBIN. Everyone joined in the fun at our first social event, the Freshman Party. None the worse for wear, in the fall of 1951 we returned to our PHS studio. After electing our new directors LEW ALPAUGH, MIKE GUTKIN, BOBBIE POND and SUE KRAMER, plans were made for our successful square dance, “The Sophomore Hop.” Before we knew it, September had come again and we as upper-stars resumed our work once more. With DICK BABBITT, TONY GRIFA, MARLENE HERRMANN and LINDSAY BARLETTA to guide us, we made plans for our “Saints and Sinners Dance” which provided fun for everyone. We increased our treasury by selling PHS feathers and dis- played our 1954 school rings with pride. It was a happy day “THE HAPPY TIME” [12]
