Jil ff W . .. Well, it's been a long trip and it's been a good one. When we entered P. H. S. as fresh- men in September, 1952 and found ourselves bein tri ped over by the bi seniors, we had no idea that we ourselves would so soon be trip- ping over those little kids. At our first gathering in the fall of 1952, we elected as officers Bill Sutton, president, Jer- ry Small, vice-president, Edith Kaltner, secre- tary, and Bill Belmont, treasurer. Near the end of this eventful year we gave our successful dance, May Day Sway. When our sophomore year arrived, we moved our meetings from the cafeteria to the auditor- ium, and elected Bob Dakin, president, Bill Sut- ton, vice-president, Edith Kaltner, secretary, and Bill Belmont, treasurer. That we had a good year was shown in the successes of our fall dance, Evening in Paris, and our contribution to the play contest, Sugar and Spice. Our junior year arrived, and we were nearly on the top of the heap. Our officers for the year were erry Meisner, president, Bob Berger, vice- presi ent, Carolyn Caruso, secretary, and Joe Corn, treasurer. We found ourselves taking a much greater part in school activities and func- tions. We sent many people to the Katonah Conference and the College Board exams, staged our class' pla , High Window, for which Sue Dean won the cup as best actress, and put on the best junior prom ever, the Stardust Sere- n:-ide. Finally, after a long, lon time, we entered the cafeteria homeroom and ie senior class. To guide us down the last mile we chose Curt Platte, president, jerry Meisner, vice-president, Sara Solz, secretary, and Joe Corn, treasurer. For one year we ran the school Calmostl Our Halloween House was a howling success, run ably by Bill Russell and Sandy Hise. Then we fell into the whirl of College Boards, college ap- plications and the breathless wait for acceptances, commencement plans, and all the problems that arise in the attempt to leave the hallowed halls at last. And now it's all over but the shouting, and we find ourselves looking back a little sad- ly on our four long years of fun, friends, and frantic activity, and we know that even with all our complaints and scrapes we have had a good time, one that we will long remember.
